Blood Cell (2019) - full transcript

Ouch!

Shit

Are you leaving us already?

I didn’t get to annoy you yet

What?

You’re going have to rip your
sheet into a make-shift cord

if you’re wanting to swing
off the bars tonight,

but I hope you won’t since
you’ve only just got here…

another suicide and the guards
won’t believe me

Hope not

And if you want to
see the sunset,



you’re going to have to move
slightly to the left

Funny thing is, I never
remember watching them

when I was free women

Guess you don’t realise what
you've got till it’s gone

Amen to that

Hey, wait!

What?

Yeah you look good in that light

given the surroundings, I'll
take that as a complement

I’m Barbara by the way,
and you are?

What, you want to
know my name?

you know it’s been so long
I’ve almost forgotten myself

I’m just messing with you!

I’m Evelyn



And this is our living coffin

Say goodbye to your dreams and
hold onto your imagination

What do you imagine?

Naughty things…

when the lights go out

Again I’m just messing with you!

Don’t worry were going
to have plenty of time

to size each other up over
the next few days to…

well forever, I suppose

You’re a lifer as well?

Unless the nutters in D
declare an uprising

perhaps you and I can escape
in the confusion

D wing...

is it dangerous?

Can be

But to be honest

I’m quite comfortable in
here now,

I don’t think I could
even adjust to

the outside world again

Fair play

So what was the last thing
you saw on the news

before you came in here?

Me, strangely

I’ve never been on TV before…

and

war and heartache across
the world

So same shit different day

Well that settles it.
I will stay in here,

thank you very much

Suppose it’s as safe as any

If the mask
scares you, then,

tough

I have to wear it to
protect my skin

What happened?

I’ll tell you another time,

but it fucking hurts

You should watch out for
the gangs in here

So it's as bad as they
make out on the TV?

Can be

but in here, it’s unedited

But if you want to join one
I’m sure you can find one

Are you part of one?

No, no -

Tell you I’ve got nothing
but time,

but I haven’t got time for that

Well you're part of
one gang at least

Yes, well...

guilty

Are you one of those ...

addicted to it?

Addicted to religion?

No but,

guess you could say I'm,
I'm addicted to sin

the book helps keep me balanced

Don’t worry about that,

always happens in S wing

I thought this was E?

S...

shit

Yeah were in the old part
of town, unfortunately

Don’t worry!

you won’t decay yet,
you’re not an old building

I feel like I’ve been demolished

Wait till you start feeling
like a vagrant

Yeah you’re going to start to
rot in here soon enough

Is that how you feel?

I have my ways of coping

So just so I know then,
what... are you?

Are you a wife? Girlfriend?
Mother?

All three in a past life,

now guess I’m just a
no good killer

Well you must have killed good
to wind up in here?

He deserved it

Just think of this place as the
medicine for the crime

Medicine?

God I’m so ashamed

Well,

big guy knows you are

What about you?

What where you before
all this?

Well,

on the outside I guess
you could say I was

a bit of a naughty girl

and now I’m on the inside
you could call me a...

struggling artist

Well I guess you...

artists give ‘life’ -

You're really going
the extra mile

I suppose I am

I’m going to rest up anyway,
I’m on these serious painkillers

and they give me the
harshest headaches

do you need another?

Do you have paracetamol?

Actually yeah,

on the shelf

Damn it, they always make
these things so tight!

Shit!

I’ll get 'em

You ok?

Yeah...

blood just rushed
to my head

What’s this?

What’s this you’re
stashing away?

Well that is private

Is it like a happiness box?

I used to have one of
these as a teenager

Don’t spill…

Is it yours?

No, no,
no, no

you can keep that,

it’ll earn you some interest by
the time you get out of here

I wish

Everything ok?

Yeah,

it's just going to take
a while to adjust

Do you want a tablet?

I’m good thanks

Do you need some water?

No,

All good

By the way, um…

I hope that you
don’t mind,

I, had a bit of water
from the tap

The tap wasn't working

God it’s not water

I just had a bit of wat…

It’s not water...

You need to get the guard,
it's white spirit!

What?

Of course its water!

My gosh, you fucking scared me.
I was going to say,

it’s not like you can see any
paintings up here

there will be

Yeah?

Is there art classes?

Could say that

but yeah, you're right the sink
it's knackered

I’m sure it’s on DIY Johnny
the caretaker's list

of thing to do, but he never
comes around, so...

I just fill the bottle up
before lights go out

But now that you’re here
I suppose we’ll need two

What's up?

Shirts just a bit itchy

Yeah,

the new shirts, they're
always like that

Do you want of one my shirts?

No – I’m ok, thank you

I need to get used to it

What is it?

It’s just a mirror,
is it yours?

No, it’s not mine

Must be an old cell mate's

Yeah, guess what use would you
need for a mirror in here?

Fuck, Evelyn. I didn’t mean
anything by that with,

with the mask…

It’s cool, don’t worry

I know what you mean

But in time you’re going to
forget vanity in this place

Don’t think I’ll need a few days

Say Evelyn, you’re an...

an artist, right?

Yeah

What do you think about
doing something,

doing something with
this place?

like decorating it?

I’m not a damn decorator,
Barbara

This isn’t university halls,
look around you, for God’s sake!

Sorry,

yeah

It’s fine, Barbara.
Just think, ok?

Just be natural

Let it out

I’m sorry, it’s…

Don’t poison yourself
to be polite,

What will you do? Wait
until break time in the morning?

No!

My last cellmate was
a right dirty bugger,

So don’t worry I’ve
heard all the tunes

The bowels can make

Rich or Poor, in this place

we really do shit in
the same hole

Fucking animals in the zoo
have more dignity

That’s Nanna Gloria

She likes to have a midnight
howl at the moon

Been in here since '84

As in she’s 84?
Or since 84?

Will she be ok?

She has her moments,

Because of her age
She gets a little confused

They were supposed
to move her to a more

‘gentle’ environment,
but budget cuts came first

Poor soul

I bet she’s been in here
so long, she's forgotten

her crime

You should get comfortable
with your emotions Barbara

In forty years from now,

Will anyone show
concern for your health?

I hadn’t thought
that far ahead

Anyway Gloria killed
two men back in her prime,

So nothing to feel
sympathy for there

No one young or old
could wash that amount of blood

Off their memories

Where will they take her?

The dungeon

A place you do not
want to go

Solitary

The fuck?
What the fuck!?

Don’t Evelyn, don’t say
a fucking word!

I was just going to say -

There is blood on my
fucking mattress,

how is that safe?

Don’t lie on the blood then!

I’m sure they will get you
a new one in the morning

Listen, you need to make
peace with all of this

I’m sorry

Edwidge?

Edwidge is that you?
Are you there?

Yes, I can hear you

There is no Edwidge
here

Are you ok? I heard crying

You heard that?

Yeah, are you ok?

Yeah, it’s just
midnight blues

I’ve been here quite a
while but it still gets to me

It’s ok, it’s my first night

I'm just adjusting to
my surroundings

Good luck

Who is Edwidge?

Someone I used to know

Say tell me, I um,

I heard a strange noise,
like a machine

No machines in here

Ok...

I’m sure I heard something
coming from your room

So what’s your name,
newbie?

Barbara

Barbara behind bars, hey!

Quite apt!

Sadly

Well I’m Camille,
nice to meet you

I’d shake your hand
but the hole isn’t big enough

In the morning then?

So how long have you been in?

Long enough

How are you feeling?

I’m good now thanks,
just...

Even after being in
here for the duration I have,

It can still get
you down

It’s amazing how brick
walls can make you reflect

On what you did
in your past

Telling me!

I’m still curious to that
noise I heard

The noises in this
place will sound like

Sympathy of ghosts

But, you’ll
get used to it

I’ve got no choice

Speaking of which,

Yeah?

Who have you been
talking to all night?

I thought that cell
was empty?

Not anymore, now I’m here

I’m surprised they
didn’t put you in this cell

With me

I guess the guards
have their reasons

I know!
Anyone would think I
was a dangerous cell mate

How do you survive
this place? Jeez

Well, don’t let it
get to you just yet,

First night and
everything

Forever is a long
time, so get used to it

Just give me a shout
if you need me

Will do

Shit!

Such a beautiful colour

I can’t wait to grow old with
you and make you my masterpiece

You're lucky to be
here with me

The real killer in prison
is loneliness

Us together,

we will be un-separable

Don’t open it!

Is it yours?

I think it’s good

No please, Barbara! Just
give it back, ok?

It's private I said

Well don’t throw it

It’s a drawing,

it helps calm me down

This medication I’m on, it
drives me up the fucking wall

but this, it...

counter-balances it

Is that it?

No,

it was the only subject at
school I was really ever good at

You know once my work,
at the age of six

my teacher put my work on
display in the school entrance

That was nice of her

It was. However,

the school bully got
jealous, of course

and defaced the painting

I seem to think revenge
was swift

Yeah

I caught up with him in
the school playground,

he got a shove to the floor,

hand I threw his lunch box
onto the school roof

He got off light, then?

And I may have painted
his school bag

a lovely shade of pink

My art is a bit of a...

love/hate relationship

Can I look now?

No

I, I borrowed a few
sheets to pass time

You’re in for life,
I don’t have that many sheets

I'm sorry

Do you know how
difficult it was

to get that fucking
paper in here?

I'll pay you back

How are you going
to do that? How?

Gonna go down to the arts and
crafts store tomorrow?

Did you see that in the yard?

I didn’t see the yard yet

Well if you had,

You'd know there isn’t
fucking one!

Barbara, I have to rely on
the guards to bring me

that stuff in, alright?

unlike most cell mates,
they want drugs,

they want mobile phones

But I just want some decent
fucking paper, alright!?

I've no family or friends
doing good will for me

I get it, ok.
I’m sorry

No - no I don’t
think you do!

that stuff...

helps me escape.
It’s the only luxury I have

What did you draw, anyway?

It’s good

Did you take classes
or something?

Only what was offered
at school

So what do you like to
draw the most?

People? Buildings? Landscape?

Why?

Just,

maybe in time, I could sit
for you, if you want?

Really?

No nude stuff, though

Why?

Why? Because…

Barbara, I’d really like that

You promise, promise,
promise, to sit for me?

I promise

Ok, and do you promise not
to take my paper again?

Yes

for richer or poorer I promise
never to take your fucking paper

...or your fish

Fucking hell I wish they’d
bring me some food

What, you’re doing me now?

Not quite…

I'll capture you
soon though,

you won’t even see
me working

Given my first night,

I don’t think I’m ready
to be captured,

any more than I already am.

Can you work in this light?

I’ll make it work

Have you done other people?

Inmates?

Lines around the block

It’s a shame

What?

Well on the... outside

I had a friend of a friend
who works with artists

I doubt she will be
visiting you

now you swim in
these circles

I won’t be holding my breath

But she could helped you
get you a fan base though

This art I do isn’t
for a fan base,

it’s more than that

Eve,

I’ll be your fan if you like?

Really?

Yeah,

and...

is that true what you said?

About what?

That no one visits you?

Well,

only the prison staff
and well,

there was Father Lenzi,

he used to come around
to bless us

He used to come around

That's nice

Well, not since he was
caught with his hand

down one of the inmate’s
knickers

The dirty pervert

Jeez, if it ain't tough
enough around here

we've got to worry
about that!

Here…

Thank you

You can take that

It’s a bit warm,
EVELYN: might have melted

Lucy?

How’d you get here?

Hello

Hello?

Mum?

Edwidge!

Honey, are you ok?

I’m ok mum

Where are you now?

They said you were in
a place for sick people?

Who is ‘they’ poppy?

Just people

Well don’t listen to them,

I’m safe, ok?

Ok mum

When will you come
home?

I miss you

I miss you too,

but being away I’m...

actually protecting you

But I’m not protected,

Not like I used to be

How so?

The orphanage…

There are
a lot of bullies

And the teacher
isn’t nice

Don’t listen to them, ok?

You’re better than them all

They're horrible mum,

They do horrible things

Anyway, it
doesn’t matter

No it does matter!

What did they do?

It doesn’t matter

It does!

It doesn’t matter!

You can’t do anything
for me anyway,

You’re behind bars

I can make phone calls,

I can get you out of danger

Like you did with dad

He was going to hurt you
so much, I know it

Well now I have people
hurting me even more

What did they do?

Just stuff

What stuff?

What does it matter?

You can’t help me!

I can, I can, I promise I can

Yeah, ok

Yeah look, I know you think my
promises are worth nothing

but I can help you with
all my heart

Did you see what
they did to Lucy?

I think she is
there with you

Yeah, she was here

Was?

She doesn’t look well,
does she?

Not really, honey

Now you can see
how bad....

These so called
'friends'are in the orphanage

They killed my pet Lucy

Are you still there?

Yeah

Why would they do that?

I don’t know mum,

You tell me why
people kill?

Because sometimes people
have to,

to protect the ones they love

It’s not enough mum,

You killed dad

What is happening?

I had to

But I could have
kept a secret

No, no

And we’d still be
a family

No, no don’t think like that

Do you hear me?

Yes

Yes

God

Mum, are you still
there?

Yeah, still here

Who's there?

Open this door
immediately!

Who’s that, baby?

God, it’s the
teacher

I snuck into her
office to use the phone

Mummy I’m scared

Can you run?

Where to?

Anywhere

There's a forest
near the home

No, no, no don’t go there!

Go to the police station

I think they
won’t believe me,

And only bring
me back here

You little shit,
Edwidge

What are you
doing in here?

I was...

I was just...

What were you doing
with that phone?

PUT IT DOWN!

No don’t do it!

Get to your room

- GO NOW!
- Don't do it, Edwidge!

Goodnight Mum

No!

Hello?

Hello, who is this?

You keep your fucking hands
off my flesh and blood!

Who is this?

How did you get
this number?

You do realise

How many laws you’re
breaking calling here?

Don’t you ever talk down
to my daughter again!

Are you threating me?

Yes, I fucking am

Well, when you work out
how to get out of your cell

Give me a buzz

You ok?

Yeah, thank you

Not having a good time,
I’m guessing?

Not exactly

God, it’s harder than
I thought in here

Don’t let ‘Costa da
shit hole’ get to you

You're better than
those four walls

True

It reminds me of my student digs

Jeez

What did you study,
and where?

Just...

business management and stuff

Suppose I put my education to
good use to end up in here

You weren't to know
how things would end up

Yeah

What did you do, before this?

Just the basics,
nothing fancy

I always thought my Edwidge
would end up doing

something arty in time

Who's Edwidge?

Just my daughter

Hopefully your
daughter will

Yeah

She was always painting and
colouring everything in

as a little one

I’m sure she'll pursue
it if she enjoys that much

God I hope…

she can forgive me when
she’s old enough

She will,
I'm sure of it

Yeah

Do you have
a pen in there?

Why?

Doesn’t matter,
one second

What's this for?

Take a look at those
four miserable walls around you

Can’t miss them

Ok

So a while back you did
something that put you in here

That fleeting moment
of killing your husband

Doesn’t define
who you are in here

You're better than
this brick and mortar

Thanks

Ok, so go
and own the wall

What do you mean?

Just mark it,
write on it, a quote,

Even a smiley face

Am I allowed to do that?

Wow! You’ve
taken a life

And now you’re
worrying about graffiti

Yeah

Just write something

Amalgamate your
mind with the cell

Finished?

Yeah

Finished

What did you put?

I'll show you tomorrow

Wow, a gala
opening of a new artist

Hardly

I think my daughter
is better than me

You sound
a little happier?

Yeah

Yeah, I think I am

Thanks Camille

You have to make
this place work for you

This place is
all about manipulation

The guards,
the wardens don’t care

As long as they
are getting paid

And they are

We all did something
wrong to be put in here,

But those fleeting
moments shouldn’t define us

For the
rest of our days

Thanks again

Say,
What do you
prefer the most -

European or America?

I don’t know. European, I guess

Why?

One second…

Ok

I thought it was a joint

Why would you like one?

No, thanks

I...

don’t want to tarnish my first
nighton a bad habit

You're so posh

Maybe in a past life

Did you
see the picture?

Merci

Hopefully it will give
you someplace to escape to

Yeah

Until I escape from
this shithole

Nice picture

Where did you get that thing?

From a friend

Is it... Paris, or
Blackpool tower?

It’s the Eiffel Tower,

Paris

Have you been?

Nah,

but I did score some good
crack in Blackpool

What I’d do to score
some bloody food

Perhaps they will bring
you the mystery meat

I won't ask!

So, where else have
you been,Ms. Paris?

quite a few places

Australia,

New York,

most of Europe,

Iceland

Did your daughter
travel with you?

Not as such,

it would have made a
nice memory now

If my calculations are correct,

she was actually conceived
in New York

So, maybe she will
travel in time

So she’s a born city girl then!

So what about you?

What did you do to
end up in here?

Guess you could say
I was a bit of a...

bit of a con artist

Ripped off a fair few folk

You know...

Gallery owners, art collectors

Plus,

there was this one time

I got really pissed off
with a gallery owner

I snuck into his show

Get this,

with white spirit in
a perfume bottle!

A few sprits here and there

It can really devalue
the price of piece of art

Stop banging!

Stop banging

You don’t want to end up in
solitary on your first night,

do you?

Listen, Barbara

I like you

Not like that

I’m not out to fuck you

I’ve seen other cell mates go
through what you going through

Maybe I can help

I can have a word with
one of the guards

she can sort you out

You know, get you things to
make you feel more settled

Drugs?

No

Yeah if you want drugs, but

no what I’m saying is...

Maybe she can track down
your daughter

She’s good at that type of thing

And yeah, if you need some
contraband in meantime

I’m sure she can add you
to the shopping list

Can she bring a key
for the door?

She isn't a miracle worker

But,
if she can’t find someone then
they haven’t been born yet!

Listen,

I’m...

going to

rest up for a while

Just don’t...

Just don’t do anything mental
in the meantime, ok?

Read the book, if you’re
not tired

Thanks Camille

I thought you
might like a picture

With a sense
of freedom

I do

I do have one of
the Golden Gate Bridge

In San Francisco

However you can see
Alcatraz in the background

But also this being
your first night and all,

I like the
Grand Canyon!

Why's that?

Just a place of wonder…

I’d like to
think it’s where

Some start of
life on Earth began

Please

I've got Evelyn giving me
RE. lessons and now

the scientist trying to tell
me we fell from space

What do you mean?

That cell I thought
was cleaned out,

And you say
there’s a Bible?

I don’t think the
Gideon’s visit here

Yeah, my cell mate Evelyn
gave it to me

Are you still there?

Yes, honey

Are you sure someone
is there with you?

As sure as I'm talking to you

It’s just…

Evelyn killed
herself a while back

Don't fuck with me,
that's not funny

I'm not

She's sitting here right now

No, she can't be

She killed herself,

I think she
had a dose of the...

'Cabin fever' and
couldn’t handle this environment

How did she do it?

You don't
want to know

She couldn’t have, she’s been
banging on about religion

isn’t suicide the greatest sin?

Maybe not everyone
can use the strength

God gives them to not
give into their demons…

Either way,

It would seem most
who end up in your cell,

Give up eventually

Thanks for the heads up

She wore...

She wore a mask, why?

How can you know that?

Because I'm looking
at her right now!

She entered the
prison wearing it

I don’t know what
or why she had it

No

Let me go

Camille let me go

You can’t stop what
has already happened Barbara

No

I can save her!

I heard the souls of
those who take their own lives

Return to where they
died to repeat their death

For eternity

Such a cruel fate

I wouldn’t cry
for her too much,

She killed a kid

What?

What? She told me she
was a con artist?

God, what is
going on in there?

I don't know

Yeah,

She did some dodgy
dealings in the art world,

That much is true

The story is
she went to the home

Of these gallery
owners,

Broke in and killed
his five year old son

How could someone
do that to a child?

When the police turned
up all she could say was...

‘For the blood’

Wow we really are
a messed up bunch of ladies

It’s too much

You who
killed to protect,

Evelyn killed for
goodness knows what reason!

Good luck
with the ghost

Everything ok, Barbara?

Yeah,
just adjusting is all

I see you read some of the book?

Yeah, I read a couple
of passages

That's good

What did you think?

Bit too heavy

If I could ask you
though, to put it back

In the right position,
standing up not on its side

Sorry

I will

When are you going to?

To?

Put the book back
in it's position?

Yeah ok, sure

Actually, I think
I'll read a little

Mum, why can’t I stay
up late to watch the movie?

Because those movies
are too old for you

And besides,

You have school
in the morning

Please?

I did my homework
early so I could watch it

I know, but honey you
don’t need to watch those movies

You're too young

Well it’s stupid,

Making movies
that can’t be watched

It’s not stupid

What isn't stupid?

Sorry,

I was thinking out loud

Ok, but there isn’t anything
stupid about what you’re reading

I guess

Mummy, I'm scared!

Can you run?

Where to?

Anywhere

There's a forest
near the home

No, no, no
don’t go there!

Go to the
police station

I think they
won’t believe me,

And only bring
me back here

Edwidge

Edwidge I’m coming
for you, Edwidge!

What the hell is this?

I need to call my daughter!

No one is calling anyone

Where is it?

Where the fuck
has it gone!?

Where is what?

The phone!

This is getting ridiculous

Open!

Open this now Evelyn,

you’re keeping me from
calling my daughter!

You put that back,

I am not stopping you
from calling anyone

I WANT MY PHONE CALL!

I don’t have it!

I need to
get out of here

Guards! Anyone!

GUARDS!

Well it’s a bit early, but...

let the art begin

GUARDS! GUARDS!

GUARDS!

Anyone!?

They will give me extra shit
now because of this

Why do I always
get the crazy ones?

Ouch!

Shit

They won't come for you Barbara

Can I use that?

What?

Come

Let’s get you cleaned up

I must be the
worst cell mate ever

You're perfect for me

Don't fight it

No, Sshhh!
Don't fight it

I do enjoy the company
of a mad fucker

Here it is!

Do you like it here?

Yes,

yes, yes I do like it here

That’s lovely

Say, do you have any of those
wonderful pictures for me?

Yes, of course!

Anything for you

Yes, that’s lovely

I can’t wait to meet tomorrow
my friend from the wall

What is going on?

Yes, yes!

You’re awake now

What is going on?

I hope you can understand

how those conversations through
the wall have been driving me

to the high Heavens all night

I was talking with Camille

She seems a nicer
cell mate than you

God, you’re even crazier
than I thought!

Camille is already dead

What?

But don’t worry!

We'll play along with this

In fact, you two wimps would
be perfect together

What the fuck is going on,
Evelyn?

I’m about to draw the dying

You’re going to be
the perfect subject

I had a good feeling about you
as soon as you arrived

Seriously Evelyn, you need
to let me loose

Barbara,

I'm not out to kill you

Yes

I can smell
the death escaping

It's beautiful

I’m sorry Barbara,

Did I over step
our boundaries?

Fuck you

Hey, maybe we need a safe word

Yeah, like the perverts have

Safe word

How about
‘eat shit you faceless whore’

You’re a funny one

You gonna tell me
what's going on?

What you expect me to fill
that one as well?

If you don’t mind

You were a mother once Barbara,

you must know this one

This little piggy went to market

This little piggy
stayed at home

Yes he did

This little piggy had roast beef

and this little piggy had...

NONE

Barbara,
is everything ok?

Wow

Things have really got
fucked up in this Prison tonight

Haven’t they?

Camille, help me!

NO!
What?
NO!

- What is happening?
- Do you need a guard?

No

No, I'm fine

Are you ok?
You sound...

Yes, yes, I'm fine. I was just,

having a cry is all

Well as long
as you’re alright

Say, Camille

Do you have anymore of those...

lovely postcards?

You’ve had quite a few
already though Barbara

Please?

Sure, ok

Do you have any of Japan?

how I miss that place

That’s nice place,
I never went

It's a most beautiful place,

You're really missing out

Barbara,

it’s your little play mate

Have you been to Japan?

Fuck off

You have it?

just a little further

I guess we should
shake hands then, shouldn't we?

Yes

Guess we should

Barbara, what are you
doing?

Barbara,
what the hell is this?!

It's not Barbara

Evelyn! How?

I should ask you the
same question

Did Heaven not want you?
Or did Hell spit you back out?

What is this?

Camille,

this is mine and Barbara’s
place of art and creation

You had your chance
to be my muse,

but you fucked it up

I wouldn’t want to work
with someone like you

It'll only be a matter
of time before you sell out

I won't, and have never sold out

You fucking bitch!

Dear,

Barbara, I need a bowl

Quick!

I got a bowl

Damn it

It wasn’t the right shade anyway

Well,

at least she won’t interrupt
us anymore

You went too fucking far Evelyn!

Don’t be sad

I’ve put her out of her misery

Honestly she used to cry herself
to sleep every night

She was far too religious
to take her own life

Trust me...

I’ve heard the attempts

Barbara

Would you look at that!

Look at that crap photo

It isn’t even Japan

Barbara, what is the matter?

You look like you’ve
seen a ghost

You make drawing look easy

It isn't easy

Barbara

I wish I kept with
my art classes

Could have made a couple
of extra quid on the side

Then again,

Being married to a rich prick
like I was,

we didn’t need the profits -

unlike you

I don’t do this for a profit,
and I don’t need a sponsor

Yeah, I can see that,
you scatty bitch

Why don’t you go beg for parole
and find yourself a rich suitor?

Really it’s the only way
for a starving artist

What do you think I am, Barbara?

Some lackey, that in order
to do my art, I’ve...

got to open my legs every night?

Take a look on the shelf

What?

The penny,

I added it to your savings

No!

You just put that there because
you think it’s your place

No I knew you were good,
so I put it there

as a down payment on
the drawing of me

You know some say that -

'The eyes are the gateway
to the soul'

Not again, please

I call bullshit on that

That...

That is the soul right there

Do you know, Barbara,

must confess, I...

lied to you about what I did
to get into this place

You see,

Yeah, I like to draw my subjects
as they slowly...

die

Somehow their soul, it...

lifts up

and lands onto my canvas

Fuck sake

You ever heard of the
Crimson Killer?

No, what’s that?

Some fucking
pretentious art movement?

I drew over fifteen people,

before the police
caught up with me

I would never have branded
myself with such a name

Fucking media journalist pricks

I’m going to draw such a
beautiful image

Yes, you’re going to so proud

When you’re done with it,

I’m going to wipe my
fucking arse with it,

even if you make me look
like a Rembrandt

Tell you something Barbara,

if I couldn’t draw...

Well,
I’d go berserk

Yes I would like to draw more

more landscapes

Then I could create a

a quiet quaint countryside
for me to escape to

Yeah

but after being in here
as long as I have,

your perception of reality
goes out of the window

Well

Fuck the outside world, hey!

I think your work title will be -

‘Sybaritic’

What the fuck does that mean?

It’s the life
you left behind

Self-indulgent and luxurious

So this is some kinky thrill
for you?

Oi!

We’ve got work to do

Relax I’ll fix you up
afterwards

It will be fine

Don’t be so sour

This drawing of you is quite
good, if I don’t say so myself

You are a beauty to draw

You were right,

this is a kinky thrill

I mean us artists, we're all...

perverts at heart, aren’t we?

If this is just about

touching me up

let’s just do it and
get it over with

No

This isn’t about pussy

Well, I mean it could be

Would you like that?

No Barbara, stop it

I am very professional
with my subjects

What’s stopping you?

I'm shy

Aren’t we all?

Come on

Start with a kiss,

let me see the real you

I think my scars will scare you

Well,

it’s yours for the taking

I need some more blood first

No, no

Do it after

Come on

How could you?

How could you?!

You’re a spiteful women, Barbara

You’re spiteful!

I was making your drawing
of you look beautiful

Look at it, look at it!

I was making you look beautiful

I’m an artist

I see you and this is
how you thank me

See me?

See me? You fuck!

You’ve been looking
at me all night

You didn’t have to do all this
to FUCKING SEE ME

Fuck you

FUCK YOU!

I think we should
both go to bed,

it’s been a long night
for both of us

No, no, no, no

I’m just waiting for someone to
come in, walk through the door

give an interview on what
it was to be drawn by

a great artiste

Really, Barbara?

That’s real nice, that is!

A word, if you wouldn’t mind?

You’ve never spoken to anyone
about your art, have you?

Evelyn,

You are brilliant

There you go!

Look, your first review

I don’t need some snotty
fucked up reviewer’s opinion!

You shouldn’t joke about
such things, it’s upsetting

Come on Evelyn, don’t leave me
like this

Look I know art is
supposed to make you

feel something, but this
is killing me

You know what
your problem is?

You’re haunting yourself to
keep yourself company

You will never be ...

dead enought to be a truly
good ghost, Barbara

Your pathetic

Now good night

Now I’m hungry for
a midnight snack

Look who I’ve got
to introduce you to

Look. Barbara!

It's some of your lovely
cell mates in here

Yes, yes, yes

This,

Audrey

Yes Audrey and Saffron,

She was a rich bitch
just like you

Sally, Sally!

She liked to
take the piss

And we also got you know Annie,
and Anna, they're a bit shy

Yes, we shouldn’t bother
them too much

But this the key to my heart

You've had that the whole time?

Barbara, you are silly

Once you’ve been in here
as long as I have,

you get a little perk
along the way

and they know I’m not
interested in escaping

Come on Barbara,
what would you do wi-

You don’t know the layout
of this place

You probably wouldn’t even
make it out the wing

I’m going to go and get
something to eat

for a midnight snack

There we are

Bye Barbara

Bye, bye, bye

Don’t go escaping!

FUCK!

Thank God

What?

Well isn’t this a nice treat?

I didn’t know you were so kinky

How are you here?

After everything that has
happened to you already,

and you’re questioning me?

Kill me now you fucking coward

I’d love for you to join me

Well that’s my cue

Scared of a women

I should thank her

It's ghosts galore in here

It is...

Amazing

what they throw away
in the bins here

Soon the bosses will be
complaining

about their budget spends

So, what will it be Barbara?

Do you want an apple, an orange?

I know you’re hungry

Stubborn and starving

Very well, suit yourself

What was that?

You’re bleeding

Are you sure you can
ration that paper?

I’m just trying to help, Barbara

Stop trying to fucking kill me!

Barbara,

You are very vulnerable,
aren’t you?

I’m going to
have to look after you

Hey, I didn’t cut you there –
did I?

Fuck off Eve

Barbara! What did you do?

Don’t come any closer

What are you
going to do?

Yeah, yeah

I forgot you don’t like people
looking at your work, do you?

You put it down, Barbara

You put that down,
you put it down!

What are you going to do,
alright?

You’re in here with me,
for life!

Fuck that

I’m going to piss off
the guards so much

they're going to have to move
me to fucking solitary

I’m not that bad am I?

They can move me to a
North Korean work camp

if it gets me away from you!

You shouldn’t talk
about such places

Damn you for making
me waste this!

Bull's eye

Barbara,

I was lying earlier Barbara

Your colour is actually
quite shit

You look sad – come on,

let’s have a cuddle, shall we?

Cuddle this

Is it avant-garde enough?

Do I look like a fucking
art critic?

I fucking missed a bit

Your masterpiece

Looks like a
fake ‘Evelyn’ to me

The fuck, is it prom night?

Shit

Camille - Camille, are you ok?

Camille it wasn’t me
that attacked you

Are you still there?

I can’t even tell you what’s
been going on in here

Thank you for
walking me home

No worries, anytime

Well I guess
I should be going

Yes

Ok

Wait

Yes?

I'm sorry

I don’t usually
bring people home, I...

It's ok

Say, would you like
to come in for a drink?

I have more wine

Can I bother you just
for a cup of tea?

Sure

Good idea

I may have drank a bit
too much at the bar

I'm needing a detox

Same here

Hey, not so fast

Sorry, it’s just...

You look so good
in that dress

If you hold your horses
for a moment and behave,

Maybe you’ll see
what’s under this dress

You’d look perfect
in or out, I’m sure of it

Such a Romeo

Say Edwidge, you have
a really nice home

Edwidge!

Thank you Alfred

Edwidge… my Edwidge

You said you’re
a photographer?

Yes

You’ve taken
some nice photos

I may have to
take it up myself

I can earn my keep
to have such a nice home

Well, I have to
work hard at it

I don’t really have any
other support network around me

What happened?

I'm sorry, I shouldn’t
be so direct

It’s cool

It's just...

I never
really had a dad

And well, Mum...

She was a Jailbird

That’s harsh,
gosh what happened?

I'll tell you later

Ok

That’s if
you stay later

Ok

Let me show you
my camera, well...

One of them,
my favourite!

It’s old fashioned

No, it's retro

If you say so

I do,

And you know
what else I say?

What?

Cheese!

Hey, no pictures

Why Mr. serious,
you a wanted man?

Yes

You had me there Alfred

I love seeing
the picture develop,

It’s almost ghostly

So ghosts exist then

I love these cameras,

They're like a
dark room in your hand

You see the picture
come to the surface,

And all you have
to do is shake

No you fucking bitch,
I said no fucking photos

Bloody hell,
what is it?

It's just...

It's just,

Ok?
Get out of there now, please

It’s getting late,

I’ve work tomorrow,

Should I...

Order you a taxi,
or something?

What?

You invited me back here
and now you’re throwing me out?

Sorry Alfred,
it’s a work night

You’re a fucking
cock tease is what you are

What the fuck?

Get out now

The fuck
are you doing?

Alfred, no

You see, I can’t let you
keep my photo…

I’m the one the police
are looking for

What?

The other two ladies
that have been killed…

You must have
seen the news

Now let’s make you
number three, shall we?

No!

Stop it, stop it, stop it now!

Old piece of shit

Let’s have a go,
shall we?

Very photogenic dear

Say Barbara,

Would you like to see
how your daughter turned out?

Not much better
than you

Your daughter was
right about these photos,

You shake them till
the life comes to the surface

And I just shook
the life out of your daughter

Maybe I’ll come see you
in visiting hours,

Would you like that?

Did you miss me?

Didn’t I kill you already?

Look at what you did to me

First, you...

you hit the back of my head
with a hammer

and then you slit my neck

Earlier that night you were
complaining of a sore throat,

thought the knife would cure it

Still got your sense of humour

Being married to you
was the biggest joke

Well I must say Barbara,

you’ve really gone up
in the world

I've got the bottom bunk

Better than being dead

You're just... pure evil

We meet again

You put that down

Ironic isn’t it?

You

save our daughter
from me,

and nineteen years later...

she ends up inviting
a serial killer

around to her home

Gullible bitch

Nineteen?

How?

You’ve been here a long time,
Barbara

You’ve outlived your daughter,

in the most awful way

I’ve only been here one night

You wish

What do you want from me?

Are you my ghost now?

We'll see

Can you live with that
amount of torment?

I was married to you
for eight years... so yeah

Barbara

How about you honour and obey me

I still wear my ring

That’s the spirit

Lay down first

Show me

As perfect as ever

What are you doing?

I could always wrap you
around my little finger

Ok newbie,
welcome to your new home

Enjoy

But, but I’m innocent

I tell you,
I shouldn’t be in here,

I was framed

Tell it to
the walls

I’m not supposed
to be here…

Your support
worker will be here on Monday

For the time being

Enjoy the
‘long’ weekend

No

And Evelyn?

Don’t scare your
new cell mate

So quickly
this time

You're getting
a reputation around here

I won’t scare
this little darling too much!
