Angry Boys (2011): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
Nathan and Daniel Sims are identical twin brothers who reside with their family in the small town of Dunt, South Australia. When Nathan and Daniel finish school, they intend to pursue their father's dream of running a successful farm. Nathan and Daniel introduce their "Wall of Legends", which consists of photos, upon their bedroom wall, of people who they consider to be "absolute legends". Significant people on the "Wall of Legends" include their father, Gran, S.mouse and Blake Oakfield. Nathan's "Wall of Legends" is primarily made up of female models. To Nathan and Daniel's displeasure, their mother's boyfriend, Steve, moves into their household. A phone call from a hearing specialist reveals that Nathan's hearing is worsening and he will soon become profoundly deaf. Gran, the grandmother of Nathan and Daniel, is an officer at the Garingal Juvenile Justice Centre. She describes herself as tough, yet a mother figure for the boys. She displays a lack of political correctness as she divides the inmates into two teams of "light skins" and "dark skins" for a soccer game. Gran also plays her favourite game with the boys called "gotcha", in which she tricks one of them into believing that he is about to be released. She also keeps the inmates entertained with "Friday Night Song Night", where she performs various songs. Gran lives in a house within the premises with fellow officer, Penny. Gran looks after 23 guinea pigs and her favourite is named Kerrie-Anne.

Oi!
Nathan!
NATHAN!
What are you doing up there?
Come down.
Fucking knob.
My name's Daniel, I'm 17
and I live on a farm in Dunt...
I'm gonna give it ten seconds
before the timer goes off.
..I live with my mum,
my little sister Julia,
my brothers Tyson and Jamie...
Can we get a smile, dickheads?
..and my other brother Nathan.
Nathan, be careful!
Nathan's my identical twin brother.
He's a tripper.
He's deaf,
he's a little bit retarded too.
Nathan!
Nath lost his hearing
in this explosives accident
when he was little
and we did this thing, right,
where we had an operation where
I had to give him one of my eardrums.
Fuck you!
But it fucked up.
Like, it didn't work
and started getting shit again.
When we were little, we're, like,
me and Nath, we were good mates.
Like, we'd wear the same clothes
and we were in the same footy team.
We were just, like, inseparable.
But as we got more, like, teenagers,
you can...
We went a bit more different.
Like, I'm better at school,
I've got more mates than him,
get more chicks than him and, like,
I'm a better bloke than him
in a lot of ways.
Like, Nath, like, he's always doing
weird shit and stuff.
Oi, Nathan! What are you doing?
Our farm is 180 acres
but, like, it's pretty shit.
But my dad, he died in this car crash
when we was 11
and he had this, like, dream
that he wanted to make it into, like,
a really successful farm.
Nathan!
So me and Nath, like,
we finish school this year
and we're gonna work on it together
and we're gonna, like,
finish off his dream.
Well, this is the sign that I made.
We're gonna call the whole thing
Danthan Industries
it's the 'Than' from 'Nathan'
so you put it together - 'Danthan'.
Well, it's Danthan 'cause 'Nathan'.
Oh, yeah, then there's Steve.
Hey, fellas.
He's my mum's new boyfriend.
He's a fucking dickhead.
You boys should get outside,
it's a beautiful day.
We ARE outside, dickhead.
Oh, he's a fucking knob. He's always
trying to get us involved in shit.
Like, 'Oh, hey, boys, I'm gonna go...
D'you wanna go out on the bikes
together?' and shit.
The other day, he's like, 'Oh,
let's go huntin', let's go huntin'.'
Like, we don't fucking go hunting,
mate.
Hey, Stevie, Stevie.
Yeah? Yeah, mate?
Footy?
Yeah, come on, mate.
Catch this.
Oh!
(Mum sighs) Daniel.
You dropped it, you get it.
Be polite.
Oh, never mind.
Come inside and have coffee.
Nath.
I'm Jessie, I'm serving 18 months
for breaking and entering.
Um, my name's Clinton, age 14,
serving nine months for assault.
13, serving three years
for manslaughter.
We're a detention facility for boys
ten to 18 years of age.
The boys are serving time
for different offences.
These are the bad boys,
the worst boys in the State.
We have 60 to 80 boys detained here
at any one time
and security is pretty tight
because, look, a lot of these boys
are considered
a genuine threat to society.
In a jail, any jail,
there's a food chain, the hierarchy.
At the bottom is our inmates...
Hats off, boys.
..and at the top it has to be us,
the staff.
But at the top of our food chain,
it's Gran.
Get in there, you little shithead.
Sweet dreams.
Gran's been here
for more than 25 years.
She genuinely knows the place
better than any of us here.
Break it up!
Gran is a real asset to this place.
I feel so lucky to have her here,
I really don't know what we'd do
without her.
You're behaving like a bunch of
fucking little dickheads.
Sit in your spot there, please.
Well, if a real ratbag kid comes in,
a real psychopathic style kid with
all the anger issues in the world,
they usually send him straight
to Gran and I'll sort him out.
The boys fear me,
they're frightened of me.
I can be a real fucking cow
if I need to be.
Turn the fucking television off,
Marlin.
GUARD: She's got
a lot more experience than we do.
She is a mother figure
for these boys.
We're not going
unless you give us a joke.
No jokes,
I'm not in the mood for fun.
Then we're not leaving.
Alright, alright, alright, one joke.
How many juvenile offenders
does it take to finish a crossword?
I don't know.
Ten.
One to get his mum to do it
'cause he can't spell
and the other nine
to beat the shit out of you.
Alright, all you fuckwits, out.
Gran, she can be an old cow.
Come on!
Yeah, she's, like, kinda strict,
like, puts you in your place
when you need to be put
in your place
and a racist old bitch too sometimes
when she wants to be.
Get your lazy Aboriginal arse
off the couch, come on.
All of you, in the yard.
Come on, Marlin.
Fucking sniffing too much petrol,
up you get. Get up!
Out, you two.
What you trying to do?
Fucking strangle me? Out.
Even though we fight a little bit,
it's all in good fun,
muck around and that, we have fun.
Two teams - light skins, dark skins.
Dark skin, light skin, light skin,
light skin.
You are a light skin, I know you're
an Aborigine but you're a light skin.
Over there. Over there.
Bullshit, mate.
HENNESSY: Gran does have
a habit of crossing the line.
Get the fucking ball, you faggot.
Come on, darkies, darkies!
Get it! Get it! Nice throw, dickhead.
There's no doubt that Gran can get
a little bit out of order
with her political correctness.
Kick it, negro, kick it.
Coco Pops, go get the ball.
We turn a blind eye to the way
she operates at times
because the bottom line for us
is that she does deliver results.
Did your mum's heroin habit
during pregnancy
affect your coordination?
When I'm tough with the boys, I find
that they... You earn their respect.
Jesus! The bloody goal
is bigger than my arse. Get it in.
You make an impact on them.
And we're talking about
real bad boys here, bad cookies.
But I feel like I know
how to treat bad boys.
Jesus, I thought wogs were good
at soccer.
(Strange moaning)
Oh, yuck!
What's he doing?
Oh, Nath's in there. He's on
the dunny but because he can't...
'Cause he's deaf, he can't
hear himself taking the dump
so he makes all these fucking sounds.
Listen to this.
(Forced moaning)
Oh!
Mum! Disgusting.
Mum, come listen to this.
I'm not interested, Daniel,
leave him alone.
Oh, my God, oh, my God.
Well, he's got partial hearing
so he's got, like, a little bit...
So if you yell really loud,
like, if I go,
'NATHAN, CAN YOU HEAR ME?'
Yeah.
But he, Nath,
he never wants to talk, right,
'cause he reckons if he does, he
sounds like a full spastic if he does
and he reckons we always laugh at him
which we do.
So if I go, if I...
Hey, Nath, Nath, Nath, Nath, say...
Nath...
'My name's Nathan
and I'm a big deaf spaz.'
Daniel's a big deaf spaz.
(Laughs) See?
Didn't even hear it.
Did you say 'Daniel'?
But I've been, like,
I've taught him to lip-read
which is, like,
when you watch someone's lips
and you can work out what they're
saying from how they move their lips
so I'll go to him... I'll go,
'Nathan, can you understand me?'
Do you know who I am?
I'm your brother.
We do this thing...
Like, you grab a book, right,
where, like, you cov... You say
something and you can cover your lips
and he doesn't understand
what you're saying.
Watch this, watch this. So if I go,
'I love you, Nathan, you're
the best brother in the whole world.'
No, you're not.
You're a fucking little faggot.
You're a fucking dumb arse,
go fuck a dog.
See? He doesn't get it.
So if I go, 'You're a legend'.
You're a fag.
You're the best brother in the world.
No, you're not,
you're a fucking knob.
See? He doesn't get it.
Uh, good bloke. Faggot.
Awesome bloke. Dick face.
But that's it, you can do
a lot of shit with deaf guys.
New arrival dock B
heading to security check, over.
I'm often the one the boys meet when
they first arrive at the prison...
Oh, he's keen, he's popped out.
I'm Gran, I'm here to look after you.
Do you know where you are?
You're in prison.
..and that can be interesting,
helping them settle in.
Things are always a little shaky
on those first few days.
Crack a smile, why don't ya? Eh?
My job description on paper
is to be an officer...
Put your weight on your front foot
so you'll come in.
..but I find that I'm also
a sports coach,
I'm a chef...
Be careful with knifes, please, guys.
..I'm a games coordinator...
Your go, Imrad.
..I'm a psychiatrist. I find myself
counselling the boys 24/7...
You've been a bit of a mental case
lately, you've got to admit.
..I become a kind of surrogate family
for a lot of these boys...
Hip, hip, hooray!
..you become Mum, you become Grandma,
you're the one they turn to...
High five.
Whoops, too slow.
Break it up! Get off him!
..there's times
when you shit yourself.
I'm gonna fucking... Get down, ya!
Fucking idiot.
Fights - often we have to sort of
deal with altercations with the boys
where I need to sort of
restrain them,
get them down on the ground
and you shit yourself.
You wanna spend the fucking night
in iso,
you're going the right way about it.
Shut the fuck up!
These are my mates -
Lochi, Jayden, Black Daniel.
Yeah, he's Daniel too, same name,
so we call him Black Daniel
so you can tell the difference.
We're kind of the cooler crew
in town.
Like, we chill together, we do stuff.
Just the river, the dam, whatever,
parties, wreak havoc, basically.
Got my Ps so I can take my mum's car.
Yeah, we sort of did it up a bit.
You know, added some shit to it
and that.
The Pulsar.
The Pulsee. Pulsee.
We did mainies, just drive, like,
down on Main Street.
Yeah, there's different types
of mainies.
Like, you can do basic mainies
which is just driving up and down
and checking out what's going on,
like, calling out to chicks
or whatever.
Or you can do music mainies,
you just pump some music and that,
just full tunes blaring and that.
(Pumping rap music)
Yeah, like, back in the day,
before I got my licence,
we did BMX mainies,
just cruise up and down,
check out what's going on.
Walking mainies -
that's sometimes fun too.
But having a Pulsar
is fucking awesome.
ALL: Yeah! There's just
so much shit you can do with it.
(Cheering)
Yeah, it's pretty much the fun shit
that we do around town.
BOYS: Yeah!
Daniel.
What's up?
Know anything about this? No.
The cops, they like us 'cause
we sort of keep an eye on the town...
That's weird, isn't it?
Looks like fresh.
Definitely let you know
if we see anything but...
..make sure there's no trouble
and that.
Catch ya!
If anything's going on,
we pretty much know about it.
Nathan! What are you doing?
He's a fucking knob. Nath always
pisses on the bottle shop sign
'cause he hates the guy
that owns the bottle shop.
Nath's not fully in our crew.
Like, he's not really
one of our mates.
Yeah, it's 'cause he's a knob.
Yeah.
We don't like him
'cause he goes psycho like that.
He kicked Lochi in the nuts once.
Yeah, 'cause you laughed at him
'cause Nath accidentally went
in the girls' dunnies.
Yeah, come on, it's funny.
Yeah, but you...
You laughed to the point
that it made him aggro
so now, whenever Nath sees Lochi,
he's always threatening to kick him
in the nuts.
Go home, Nathan!
Go back to the girls' dunnies!
Shut up.
Those boys on kitchen duty
should be in the kitchen now.
Come on, dickheads.
Hey, Gran,
can we get ice-cream tonight?
Ice-cream? No idea.
That sucks.
Come on!
How about we use your eight ball
and find out?
Magic eight ball, come on.
Alright, let's do it.
Yes!
Here we go.
Will we have ice-cream tonight?
Just say yes. Come on, yes.
Yes.
Signs point to yes.
(Both cheer)
Alright, get in the kitchen,
fuckwits! BOYS: ? Ice-cream... ?
A lot of these boys
can be quite unhappy.
While they're on the inside, they can
be depressed, they can be angry
so I find that I like to lighten
things up a little bit.
This is Big Brother. Come to
the Diary Room, please, Christian.
I find that it can help them
take their mind off their worries.
They love it when I do that.
He's looking.
Yeah, no, Gran's joke's awesome.
It's funny as.
Yeah, she does
these practical jokes.
It's called Gran's Gotchas.
If she ever gets you, it's like,
'Ah, shit!'
Just, fucks around with you,
know what I mean?
Hey, Trent, we just found out
that you're getting an early release.
Congratulations.
So congratulations.
You'll be going home this afternoon.
Well done. Let's go pack your bags
and get you out of here.
Now, where's Mum?
Mum should be here somewhere.
Uh, Trent, I just wanted to say
before you go...
..gotcha.
(Boys laugh)
You got another nine months in here,
we're not letting you out.
Have you guys heard about
the escape tunnel in Block E?
What?
Gotcha.
Marcus has just come back from court.
Go easy on him, he's just found out
he's going to get the electric chair.
Sweet...
That's fucked up.
Gotcha. (Laughs)
That ain't funny.
That's not even funny.
A lot of these guys
are missing out on things
while they're on the inside,
they miss out on parties,
socials, discos, that sort of thing.
Right, take a seat, guys. This is
Friday Night Song Night, as you know.
So what I like to do is keep them
as distracted as possible
and I like to keep them entertained.
? I tried to make them go to rehab
? I won't go, go, go... ?
? You took a sip,
just a sip from the devil's cup
? Just who do you think you are?
? Take it like a man, baby,
if that's what you are... ?
? 25 years and my life is still
? Trying to get up
that great big hill of hope... ?
? Moving on up, moving on out
? Time to break free
? Nothing can stop me... ?
This is Friday Night Song Night.
I'm Gran.
Take the mark... Ready?
Yep, go.
Do another one, straight in,
another one.
Yeah, I like to update my profile
pic, like, once or twice a fortnight.
Fuck off, I'm gonna do
some mirror ones.
These are some
of me old profile pics.
Balloon head.
That's this tatt that I wanna get.
Pussy fingers.
I'll show you Nath's.
Profile pic - he's had that one up
for ages, actually.
These are his other ones.
He does heaps of this.
And his pussy fingers too -
he ripped that off me.
I started doing that first.
Like, at our school, I invented that.
Hey, Nath. Nath, when are you
gonna change your profile pic?
You've had that up for ages, mate.
Nath!
NATHAN! Profile pic, mate.
What are you changing it?
Fuck off.
We're into, like, skating,
surf and that.
Nath's more skating,
he's into skating,
he's, like, pretty good at it,
he can do tricks and shit.
I'm more surfing and so, yeah,
I'm getting pretty good at that.
On the dam and that.
Music-wise, we're into hip-hop
so me and Nath, you know,
we do a bit of shit together -
I MC, he beat-boxes.
? School is shit, I really hate it
? The teachers are gay
? Hey, hey, hey... ?
I do a fair bit of freestyle stuff
so just whatever comes to your head.
I don't like to plan it too much,
I don't like writing shit down
but I've just pretty much got an ear
for rhyming and that.
? My car is a manual
My name is Daniel... ?
Oh, this is my Wall Of Legends.
This is pretty much everyone
who I consider an absolute legend.
So, the main ones, you got my dad -
that's my dad.
You got my gran,
um, you got Blake Oakfield.
He's this legendary surfer,
he's retired now
but he was an absolute legend
back in the day.
Um, Smouse - me and Nath's
favourite rapper.
We just love all his shit.
And then Emily Chase,
she's this legendary hot chick
that me and Nath are really into.
Nath's got his own Wall Of Legends
too, don't you, Nath?
This is his.
Emily... Is she a legend?
Yeah.
So we're into similar shit.
You just got to express yourself
in your own bedroom.
Well, this is home for us here.
It's...
We're on prison grounds and I've been
here for about 14 years now
which is, you know, it's flying by.
I live here with Penny
who's another officer in the prison.
The boys call her Legs because
she's nearly seven feet tall,
which is just a funny nickname
they've come up with.
But you don't mind it.
I don't mind it, no, no.
I did at first
but no, it's fine now.
It's not teasing, it's just,
it's a nickname.
The house does come with the job
so when Gran retires,
we may not be able to stay.
We don't need to think about that now
so...
Live in the moment.
Well, these are my guinea pigs. I've
got 23 adults here and six young.
I just love them,
they're a lovely animal.
And this is my pride and joy,
this is my Kerri-Anne.
She's the one that Penny gave me
five or six years ago
and got the whole craze started
and she's a wonderful-looking beast.
I did have a guinea pig
in my bed once a few years ago
and I unfortunately rolled on it
and it did die
so that's...
We learned our lesson, there.
So I wouldn't risk it
with Kerri-Anne.
I pop her down on a lovely
cushioned surface like this
and then this is the brush I use
and you watch her face
when I start grooming.
She loves it.
See the face there?
Yeah, so this is
the transportation cage
'cause I do take Kerri-Anne
over to the prison from time to time.
What I do is I'll use the kitty
litter and it's more expensive.
That's a kitty litter there which is
just a compressed paper product
and what that does is when they
urinate, it gets rid of any odours.
Princess Mary,
I've had for four years now.
We can see,
another great face there.
Well, once a week, I get the boys
involved in pig duty...
Hi, fellas.
..it's where I choose
a responsible duo from the prison,
they come over and they help me
tend to the guinea pigs.
The boys are here for pig duty.
We've got carrots. Carrots.
They know I love them
and they love them too.
Thin layer on top there.
I do have names for all of them.
I never forget a guinea pig
once I've named them.
Pauline, Patch, Lucy, Henry, Fudge,
Norelle, Jaffles, Kerri-Anne,
Ken, Ruffles, Princess Mary,
Courtney, Keith, Pia and the babies,
Trizzy, we got Joyce,
we've got Darrell and Sonia,
we've got Ratty, we've Bok Choy
and we've got Parsley.
Hmm.
Daniel, can you come
and get on the end of this?
I found out today
that Steve's moving in.
Like, he's fully brought all his shit
and he's, like, gonna be sleeping
in my mum's bed and shit.
Daniel!
Mum didn't even ask us about it.
Just, like, turns up, Mum's like,
'Oh, yeah, Steve's moving in.'
Hey, saw you down the main street
in your mum's car, mate.
Be careful, eh?
Daniel, if you're not gonna be
responsible...
I wasn't doing anything!
..with my car, you can't borrow it.
The worst thing is, like, he's moving
his dog Marcos into the house too.
Such a fucking fag dog.
I mean, look at it.
His name's Marcos
but I call it Fuckos.
Hey, Fuckos. Fuckos, come here.
Come here, Fuckos. See?
Knows its name.
You know your name, don't ya?
Your name's Fuckos.
You can tell it's a fag dog, right?
'Cause fag dogs, like,
when they walk, see its arse?
Sort of wiggles its bum
when it walks, like this.
See that? That's, like,
to attract other male dogs.
Oh, and the other thing is...
See this? Like, on a,
like, a straight dog,
it'd be sort of bushy
and that but on a fag dog,
you can see its nuts.
Hey, Steve, can we take Marcos?
Yeah.
Can we play with Marcos?
Yeah, sure, mate.
Nath, grab Marcos.
Hey, Stevie!
This one's for you.
Daniel! You, idiot!
Welcome to the family, Stevie!
Right, where's my Hulk?
Imran, Spiderman.
Superman.
Jamies on, guys.
They should be lovely and warm,
they've just come out of the dryer.
These are the special jamies
that I do for the boys.
They're just a lightweight
sleepwear fabric
that I sort of work up into
the various superhero designs.
Once you've got your jamies on,
into cells, please, guys.
We've got Shrek here.
This is the zebra from Madagascar.
We also have the Power Ranger,
the purple Power Ranger.
Pyjamas on! In cells, please!
I also do a matching doona cover too.
This is the Superman doona,
the boys are really into it.
If you could move over, Marlin,
and show them the design
that I've done there.
I do all my own sewing and stuff
myself at home.
Off, please. Show them the S.
That's the Superman design
and he's got the -
if you could turn around -
the cape on the back there.
That's just a press-stud cape
that he chooses to wear.
Takes it off when he sleeps.
But, yeah, the boys
really get into it.
I'll just find you some bottoms.
I mean, some of the guys just,
you know,
they think they're too cool for it
or whatever.
Can't tempt you with the
Power Ranger jamies, Mohammed? No?
It keeps me busy
and it keeps the boys happy.
Settle down, heroes.
Lights out.
We get the boys in at 8:30 and
that can often be the hardest time.
Mohammed?
Come and grab some tissues, mate.
They've done phone calls
to loved ones
and looking at photos and whatnot
and they can become quite teary
and that's why I keep these -
my tissues.
Have some tissues.
But if the tears continue, I do go in
and I offer some comfort to them
and a couple of tissues and a pat
on the back and that sort of thing.
Aw, you poor thing, you poor thing.
Oh, it's not much fun in here, is it?
Yeah, people often say, 'Gran, you
forget what these boys have done.'
You know? Some of these boys
have done horrible, horrible things.
Things that would make you sick
to the stomach.
And they may be the worst boys
in the State
but they're still boys.
Robin would think Batman was
a big poof if he cried that much.
Come on, you'll be right.
Have some tissues.
OK, right. Yep, I see.
Well, we heard back from the hearing
specialist this afternoon
and unfortunately Nathan's tests
have shown
that he isn't going to get
any better.
His hearing is in fact
going to get worse...
Look, thank you very much
for the call.
..so they say
that in a couple of months,
he'll be completely deaf
which they call that
profoundly deaf.
He's not going to be able to have
the cochlear implant
that we were hoping might be
a possibility.
Oh, that's real bad news.
Hmm, I know.
Daniel, what are you laughing at?
Oh, no, just the way you said
'cochlear'...
Daniel, grow up.
You said Nathan's cochlear.
This is really serious.
Well, don't say 'cochlear'
if you don't want me to laugh.
Have a little bit more sensitivity,
will you?
Of course I'm gonna laugh
if you say that.
Oh, God!
You're so childish at times.
That's a real shame, isn't it?
Yeah, they reckon he might be
fully deaf within a few months.
Oh, how's your old bitch of a mother
about it all?
Yeah, she's alright.
Her boyfriend moved in today.
Oh? That was quick.
Yeah.
He sounds like an absolute dickhead
from what you've told me.
Yeah, he is one.
Hi, Nathan. I can see you.
Nath, Gran says hi!
Oi! Don't be cheeky.
Piss off, you fucking dickhead.
Steve, give me the remote.
Give me the... I'm going to bed
so that needs to be on 22
at all times, alright?
22, no louder, OK? Got it?
Fair enough.
Now, Nathan, watch my lips.
Now, you be good,
try your hardest at school
and don't get into trouble.
OK, goodnight.
Let's do our Eskimo kiss.
Thanks, sweetheart.
Alright, night-night. Be good.
Goodnight.
STEVE: You're off to bed, Nathan?
Nath, say goodnight to Steve.
Goodnight.
Middle finger down, please, mate.
Nathan, down.
Hey, Steve, what's four minus three?
Daniel, grow up.
NATHAN!
Nathan, Daniel wants you.
Nath, Nath, Nath, you're a legend.
You're a fag.
You're the best brother ever.
No, you're not,
you're a fucking dickhead.
Awesome brother. Fag!
Fuck off!
Goodnight, family!
Goodnight, legends.

Nath's in so much trouble.
He's been listening
to rap music.
No more bloody Smouse!
They could arrest him unless we agree
to let the welfare people come over.
They came up with this bullshit idea
of sending Nath to a deaf school.
He said he doesn't wanna go.
I don't think that's a bad idea.
You're not the fucking dad, anyway!
Daniel's crying!
I'm not crying!
You're so gay!
This is Smouse.
(All sing rap)
We're the biggest
selling
hip-hop single
of all time.
Westbank
Shopping Mall!
Got an image of being
a bit of a faggot.
He grew up as a rich-ass kid.
You ain't no motherfucking gangster!
If I was a nerd
at school,
you was a nerd
at school.
Welcome to my crib.
Smouse, you gotta write
some of your own shit.
? Boo on you... ?
I gotta do some house arrest
and wear this shit
so they can track me.
Get off that fucking thing.
You need a dick, Dad.
We have a high-risk detainee here.
Pop those on.
He's been busted wanking a dog.
Hey, dog wanker! The word's out
that he's a dog wanker.
His life is not going to be easy
in here.
Watch your dog around him,
he might get wanked.
All he did was do a shit
on a police car.
Go blow your didgeridoo, Marlin.
(Raps) You're a bitch,
a big, fat, motherfucking bitch.
Oi!
Nathan!
NATHAN!
What are you doing up there?
Come down.
Fucking knob.
My name's Daniel, I'm 17
and I live on a farm in Dunt...
I'm gonna give it ten seconds
before the timer goes off.
..I live with my mum,
my little sister Julia,
my brothers Tyson and Jamie...
Can we get a smile, dickheads?
..and my other brother Nathan.
Nathan, be careful!
Nathan's my identical twin brother.
He's a tripper.
He's deaf,
he's a little bit retarded too.
Nathan!
Nath lost his hearing
in this explosives accident
when he was little
and we did this thing, right,
where we had an operation where
I had to give him one of my eardrums.
Fuck you!
But it fucked up.
Like, it didn't work
and started getting shit again.
When we were little, we're, like,
me and Nath, we were good mates.
Like, we'd wear the same clothes
and we were in the same footy team.
We were just, like, inseparable.
But as we got more, like, teenagers,
you can...
We went a bit more different.
Like, I'm better at school,
I've got more mates than him,
get more chicks than him and, like,
I'm a better bloke than him
in a lot of ways.
Like, Nath, like, he's always doing
weird shit and stuff.
Oi, Nathan! What are you doing?
Our farm is 180 acres
but, like, it's pretty shit.
But my dad, he died in this car crash
when we was 11
and he had this, like, dream
that he wanted to make it into, like,
a really successful farm.
Nathan!
So me and Nath, like,
we finish school this year
and we're gonna work on it together
and we're gonna, like,
finish off his dream.
Well, this is the sign that I made.
We're gonna call the whole thing
Danthan Industries
it's the 'Than' from 'Nathan'
so you put it together - 'Danthan'.
Well, it's Danthan 'cause 'Nathan'.
Oh, yeah, then there's Steve.
Hey, fellas.
He's my mum's new boyfriend.
He's a fucking dickhead.
You boys should get outside,
it's a beautiful day.
We ARE outside, dickhead.
Oh, he's a fucking knob. He's always
trying to get us involved in shit.
Like, 'Oh, hey, boys, I'm gonna go...
D'you wanna go out on the bikes
together?' and shit.
The other day, he's like, 'Oh,
let's go huntin', let's go huntin'.'
Like, we don't fucking go hunting,
mate.
Hey, Stevie, Stevie.
Yeah? Yeah, mate?
Footy?
Yeah, come on, mate.
Catch this.
Oh!
(Mum sighs) Daniel.
You dropped it, you get it.
Be polite.
Oh, never mind.
Come inside and have coffee.
Nath.
I'm Jessie, I'm serving 18 months
for breaking and entering.
Um, my name's Clinton, age 14,
serving nine months for assault.
13, serving three years
for manslaughter.
We're a detention facility for boys
ten to 18 years of age.
The boys are serving time
for different offences.
These are the bad boys,
the worst boys in the State.
We have 60 to 80 boys detained here
at any one time
and security is pretty tight
because, look, a lot of these boys
are considered
a genuine threat to society.
In a jail, any jail,
there's a food chain, the hierarchy.
At the bottom is our inmates...
Hats off, boys.
..and at the top it has to be us,
the staff.
But at the top of our food chain,
it's Gran.
Get in there, you little shithead.
Sweet dreams.
Gran's been here
for more than 25 years.
She genuinely knows the place
better than any of us here.
Break it up!
Gran is a real asset to this place.
I feel so lucky to have her here,
I really don't know what we'd do
without her.
You're behaving like a bunch of
fucking little dickheads.
Sit in your spot there, please.
Well, if a real ratbag kid comes in,
a real psychopathic style kid with
all the anger issues in the world,
they usually send him straight
to Gran and I'll sort him out.
The boys fear me,
they're frightened of me.
I can be a real fucking cow
if I need to be.
Turn the fucking television off,
Marlin.
GUARD: She's got
a lot more experience than we do.
She is a mother figure
for these boys.
We're not going
unless you give us a joke.
No jokes,
I'm not in the mood for fun.
Then we're not leaving.
Alright, alright, alright, one joke.
How many juvenile offenders
does it take to finish a crossword?
I don't know.
Ten.
One to get his mum to do it
'cause he can't spell
and the other nine
to beat the shit out of you.
Alright, all you fuckwits, out.
Gran, she can be an old cow.
Come on!
Yeah, she's, like, kinda strict,
like, puts you in your place
when you need to be put
in your place
and a racist old bitch too sometimes
when she wants to be.
Get your lazy Aboriginal arse
off the couch, come on.
All of you, in the yard.
Come on, Marlin.
Fucking sniffing too much petrol,
up you get. Get up!
Out, you two.
What you trying to do?
Fucking strangle me? Out.
Even though we fight a little bit,
it's all in good fun,
muck around and that, we have fun.
Two teams - light skins, dark skins.
Dark skin, light skin, light skin,
light skin.
You are a light skin, I know you're
an Aborigine but you're a light skin.
Over there. Over there.
Bullshit, mate.
HENNESSY: Gran does have
a habit of crossing the line.
Get the fucking ball, you faggot.
Come on, darkies, darkies!
Get it! Get it! Nice throw, dickhead.
There's no doubt that Gran can get
a little bit out of order
with her political correctness.
Kick it, negro, kick it.
Coco Pops, go get the ball.
We turn a blind eye to the way
she operates at times
because the bottom line for us
is that she does deliver results.
Did your mum's heroin habit
during pregnancy
affect your coordination?
When I'm tough with the boys, I find
that they... You earn their respect.
Jesus! The bloody goal
is bigger than my arse. Get it in.
You make an impact on them.
And we're talking about
real bad boys here, bad cookies.
But I feel like I know
how to treat bad boys.
Jesus, I thought wogs were good
at soccer.
(Strange moaning)
Oh, yuck!
What's he doing?
Oh, Nath's in there. He's on
the dunny but because he can't...
'Cause he's deaf, he can't
hear himself taking the dump
so he makes all these fucking sounds.
Listen to this.
(Forced moaning)
Oh!
Mum! Disgusting.
Mum, come listen to this.
I'm not interested, Daniel,
leave him alone.
Oh, my God, oh, my God.
Well, he's got partial hearing
so he's got, like, a little bit...
So if you yell really loud,
like, if I go,
'NATHAN, CAN YOU HEAR ME?'
Yeah.
But he, Nath,
he never wants to talk, right,
'cause he reckons if he does, he
sounds like a full spastic if he does
and he reckons we always laugh at him
which we do.
So if I go, if I...
Hey, Nath, Nath, Nath, Nath, say...
Nath...
'My name's Nathan
and I'm a big deaf spaz.'
Daniel's a big deaf spaz.
(Laughs) See?
Didn't even hear it.
Did you say 'Daniel'?
But I've been, like,
I've taught him to lip-read
which is, like,
when you watch someone's lips
and you can work out what they're
saying from how they move their lips
so I'll go to him... I'll go,
'Nathan, can you understand me?'
Do you know who I am?
I'm your brother.
We do this thing...
Like, you grab a book, right,
where, like, you cov... You say
something and you can cover your lips
and he doesn't understand
what you're saying.
Watch this, watch this. So if I go,
'I love you, Nathan, you're
the best brother in the whole world.'
No, you're not.
You're a fucking little faggot.
You're a fucking dumb arse,
go fuck a dog.
See? He doesn't get it.
So if I go, 'You're a legend'.
You're a fag.
You're the best brother in the world.
No, you're not,
you're a fucking knob.
See? He doesn't get it.
Uh, good bloke. Faggot.
Awesome bloke. Dick face.
But that's it, you can do
a lot of shit with deaf guys.
New arrival dock B
heading to security check, over.
I'm often the one the boys meet when
they first arrive at the prison...
Oh, he's keen, he's popped out.
I'm Gran, I'm here to look after you.
Do you know where you are?
You're in prison.
..and that can be interesting,
helping them settle in.
Things are always a little shaky
on those first few days.
Crack a smile, why don't ya? Eh?
My job description on paper
is to be an officer...
Put your weight on your front foot
so you'll come in.
..but I find that I'm also
a sports coach,
I'm a chef...
Be careful with knifes, please, guys.
..I'm a games coordinator...
Your go, Imrad.
..I'm a psychiatrist. I find myself
counselling the boys 24/7...
You've been a bit of a mental case
lately, you've got to admit.
..I become a kind of surrogate family
for a lot of these boys...
Hip, hip, hooray!
..you become Mum, you become Grandma,
you're the one they turn to...
High five.
Whoops, too slow.
Break it up! Get off him!
..there's times
when you shit yourself.
I'm gonna fucking... Get down, ya!
Fucking idiot.
Fights - often we have to sort of
deal with altercations with the boys
where I need to sort of
restrain them,
get them down on the ground
and you shit yourself.
You wanna spend the fucking night
in iso,
you're going the right way about it.
Shut the fuck up!
These are my mates -
Lochi, Jayden, Black Daniel.
Yeah, he's Daniel too, same name,
so we call him Black Daniel
so you can tell the difference.
We're kind of the cooler crew
in town.
Like, we chill together, we do stuff.
Just the river, the dam, whatever,
parties, wreak havoc, basically.
Got my Ps so I can take my mum's car.
Yeah, we sort of did it up a bit.
You know, added some shit to it
and that.
The Pulsar.
The Pulsee. Pulsee.
We did mainies, just drive, like,
down on Main Street.
Yeah, there's different types
of mainies.
Like, you can do basic mainies
which is just driving up and down
and checking out what's going on,
like, calling out to chicks
or whatever.
Or you can do music mainies,
you just pump some music and that,
just full tunes blaring and that.
(Pumping rap music)
Yeah, like, back in the day,
before I got my licence,
we did BMX mainies,
just cruise up and down,
check out what's going on.
Walking mainies -
that's sometimes fun too.
But having a Pulsar
is fucking awesome.
ALL: Yeah! There's just
so much shit you can do with it.
(Cheering)
Yeah, it's pretty much the fun shit
that we do around town.
BOYS: Yeah!
Daniel.
What's up?
Know anything about this? No.
The cops, they like us 'cause
we sort of keep an eye on the town...
That's weird, isn't it?
Looks like fresh.
Definitely let you know
if we see anything but...
..make sure there's no trouble
and that.
Catch ya!
If anything's going on,
we pretty much know about it.
Nathan! What are you doing?
He's a fucking knob. Nath always
pisses on the bottle shop sign
'cause he hates the guy
that owns the bottle shop.
Nath's not fully in our crew.
Like, he's not really
one of our mates.
Yeah, it's 'cause he's a knob.
Yeah.
We don't like him
'cause he goes psycho like that.
He kicked Lochi in the nuts once.
Yeah, 'cause you laughed at him
'cause Nath accidentally went
in the girls' dunnies.
Yeah, come on, it's funny.
Yeah, but you...
You laughed to the point
that it made him aggro
so now, whenever Nath sees Lochi,
he's always threatening to kick him
in the nuts.
Go home, Nathan!
Go back to the girls' dunnies!
Shut up.
Those boys on kitchen duty
should be in the kitchen now.
Come on, dickheads.
Hey, Gran,
can we get ice-cream tonight?
Ice-cream? No idea.
That sucks.
Come on!
How about we use your eight ball
and find out?
Magic eight ball, come on.
Alright, let's do it.
Yes!
Here we go.
Will we have ice-cream tonight?
Just say yes. Come on, yes.
Yes.
Signs point to yes.
(Both cheer)
Alright, get in the kitchen,
fuckwits! BOYS: ? Ice-cream... ?
A lot of these boys
can be quite unhappy.
While they're on the inside, they can
be depressed, they can be angry
so I find that I like to lighten
things up a little bit.
This is Big Brother. Come to
the Diary Room, please, Christian.
I find that it can help them
take their mind off their worries.
They love it when I do that.
He's looking.
Yeah, no, Gran's joke's awesome.
It's funny as.
Yeah, she does
these practical jokes.
It's called Gran's Gotchas.
If she ever gets you, it's like,
'Ah, shit!'
Just, fucks around with you,
know what I mean?
Hey, Trent, we just found out
that you're getting an early release.
Congratulations.
So congratulations.
You'll be going home this afternoon.
Well done. Let's go pack your bags
and get you out of here.
Now, where's Mum?
Mum should be here somewhere.
Uh, Trent, I just wanted to say
before you go...
..gotcha.
(Boys laugh)
You got another nine months in here,
we're not letting you out.
Have you guys heard about
the escape tunnel in Block E?
What?
Gotcha.
Marcus has just come back from court.
Go easy on him, he's just found out
he's going to get the electric chair.
Sweet...
That's fucked up.
Gotcha. (Laughs)
That ain't funny.
That's not even funny.
A lot of these guys
are missing out on things
while they're on the inside,
they miss out on parties,
socials, discos, that sort of thing.
Right, take a seat, guys. This is
Friday Night Song Night, as you know.
So what I like to do is keep them
as distracted as possible
and I like to keep them entertained.
? I tried to make them go to rehab
? I won't go, go, go... ?
? You took a sip,
just a sip from the devil's cup
? Just who do you think you are?
? Take it like a man, baby,
if that's what you are... ?
? 25 years and my life is still
? Trying to get up
that great big hill of hope... ?
? Moving on up, moving on out
? Time to break free
? Nothing can stop me... ?
This is Friday Night Song Night.
I'm Gran.
Take the mark... Ready?
Yep, go.
Do another one, straight in,
another one.
Yeah, I like to update my profile
pic, like, once or twice a fortnight.
Fuck off, I'm gonna do
some mirror ones.
These are some
of me old profile pics.
Balloon head.
That's this tatt that I wanna get.
Pussy fingers.
I'll show you Nath's.
Profile pic - he's had that one up
for ages, actually.
These are his other ones.
He does heaps of this.
And his pussy fingers too -
he ripped that off me.
I started doing that first.
Like, at our school, I invented that.
Hey, Nath. Nath, when are you
gonna change your profile pic?
You've had that up for ages, mate.
Nath!
NATHAN! Profile pic, mate.
What are you changing it?
Fuck off.
We're into, like, skating,
surf and that.
Nath's more skating,
he's into skating,
he's, like, pretty good at it,
he can do tricks and shit.
I'm more surfing and so, yeah,
I'm getting pretty good at that.
On the dam and that.
Music-wise, we're into hip-hop
so me and Nath, you know,
we do a bit of shit together -
I MC, he beat-boxes.
? School is shit, I really hate it
? The teachers are gay
? Hey, hey, hey... ?
I do a fair bit of freestyle stuff
so just whatever comes to your head.
I don't like to plan it too much,
I don't like writing shit down
but I've just pretty much got an ear
for rhyming and that.
? My car is a manual
My name is Daniel... ?
Oh, this is my Wall Of Legends.
This is pretty much everyone
who I consider an absolute legend.
So, the main ones, you got my dad -
that's my dad.
You got my gran,
um, you got Blake Oakfield.
He's this legendary surfer,
he's retired now
but he was an absolute legend
back in the day.
Um, Smouse - me and Nath's
favourite rapper.
We just love all his shit.
And then Emily Chase,
she's this legendary hot chick
that me and Nath are really into.
Nath's got his own Wall Of Legends
too, don't you, Nath?
This is his.
Emily... Is she a legend?
Yeah.
So we're into similar shit.
You just got to express yourself
in your own bedroom.
Well, this is home for us here.
It's...
We're on prison grounds and I've been
here for about 14 years now
which is, you know, it's flying by.
I live here with Penny
who's another officer in the prison.
The boys call her Legs because
she's nearly seven feet tall,
which is just a funny nickname
they've come up with.
But you don't mind it.
I don't mind it, no, no.
I did at first
but no, it's fine now.
It's not teasing, it's just,
it's a nickname.
The house does come with the job
so when Gran retires,
we may not be able to stay.
We don't need to think about that now
so...
Live in the moment.
Well, these are my guinea pigs. I've
got 23 adults here and six young.
I just love them,
they're a lovely animal.
And this is my pride and joy,
this is my Kerri-Anne.
She's the one that Penny gave me
five or six years ago
and got the whole craze started
and she's a wonderful-looking beast.
I did have a guinea pig
in my bed once a few years ago
and I unfortunately rolled on it
and it did die
so that's...
We learned our lesson, there.
So I wouldn't risk it
with Kerri-Anne.
I pop her down on a lovely
cushioned surface like this
and then this is the brush I use
and you watch her face
when I start grooming.
She loves it.
See the face there?
Yeah, so this is
the transportation cage
'cause I do take Kerri-Anne
over to the prison from time to time.
What I do is I'll use the kitty
litter and it's more expensive.
That's a kitty litter there which is
just a compressed paper product
and what that does is when they
urinate, it gets rid of any odours.
Princess Mary,
I've had for four years now.
We can see,
another great face there.
Well, once a week, I get the boys
involved in pig duty...
Hi, fellas.
..it's where I choose
a responsible duo from the prison,
they come over and they help me
tend to the guinea pigs.
The boys are here for pig duty.
We've got carrots. Carrots.
They know I love them
and they love them too.
Thin layer on top there.
I do have names for all of them.
I never forget a guinea pig
once I've named them.
Pauline, Patch, Lucy, Henry, Fudge,
Norelle, Jaffles, Kerri-Anne,
Ken, Ruffles, Princess Mary,
Courtney, Keith, Pia and the babies,
Trizzy, we got Joyce,
we've got Darrell and Sonia,
we've got Ratty, we've Bok Choy
and we've got Parsley.
Hmm.
Daniel, can you come
and get on the end of this?
I found out today
that Steve's moving in.
Like, he's fully brought all his shit
and he's, like, gonna be sleeping
in my mum's bed and shit.
Daniel!
Mum didn't even ask us about it.
Just, like, turns up, Mum's like,
'Oh, yeah, Steve's moving in.'
Hey, saw you down the main street
in your mum's car, mate.
Be careful, eh?
Daniel, if you're not gonna be
responsible...
I wasn't doing anything!
..with my car, you can't borrow it.
The worst thing is, like, he's moving
his dog Marcos into the house too.
Such a fucking fag dog.
I mean, look at it.
His name's Marcos
but I call it Fuckos.
Hey, Fuckos. Fuckos, come here.
Come here, Fuckos. See?
Knows its name.
You know your name, don't ya?
Your name's Fuckos.
You can tell it's a fag dog, right?
'Cause fag dogs, like,
when they walk, see its arse?
Sort of wiggles its bum
when it walks, like this.
See that? That's, like,
to attract other male dogs.
Oh, and the other thing is...
See this? Like, on a,
like, a straight dog,
it'd be sort of bushy
and that but on a fag dog,
you can see its nuts.
Hey, Steve, can we take Marcos?
Yeah.
Can we play with Marcos?
Yeah, sure, mate.
Nath, grab Marcos.
Hey, Stevie!
This one's for you.
Daniel! You, idiot!
Welcome to the family, Stevie!
Right, where's my Hulk?
Imran, Spiderman.
Superman.
Jamies on, guys.
They should be lovely and warm,
they've just come out of the dryer.
These are the special jamies
that I do for the boys.
They're just a lightweight
sleepwear fabric
that I sort of work up into
the various superhero designs.
Once you've got your jamies on,
into cells, please, guys.
We've got Shrek here.
This is the zebra from Madagascar.
We also have the Power Ranger,
the purple Power Ranger.
Pyjamas on! In cells, please!
I also do a matching doona cover too.
This is the Superman doona,
the boys are really into it.
If you could move over, Marlin,
and show them the design
that I've done there.
I do all my own sewing and stuff
myself at home.
Off, please. Show them the S.
That's the Superman design
and he's got the -
if you could turn around -
the cape on the back there.
That's just a press-stud cape
that he chooses to wear.
Takes it off when he sleeps.
But, yeah, the boys
really get into it.
I'll just find you some bottoms.
I mean, some of the guys just,
you know,
they think they're too cool for it
or whatever.
Can't tempt you with the
Power Ranger jamies, Mohammed? No?
It keeps me busy
and it keeps the boys happy.
Settle down, heroes.
Lights out.
We get the boys in at 8:30 and
that can often be the hardest time.
Mohammed?
Come and grab some tissues, mate.
They've done phone calls
to loved ones
and looking at photos and whatnot
and they can become quite teary
and that's why I keep these -
my tissues.
Have some tissues.
But if the tears continue, I do go in
and I offer some comfort to them
and a couple of tissues and a pat
on the back and that sort of thing.
Aw, you poor thing, you poor thing.
Oh, it's not much fun in here, is it?
Yeah, people often say, 'Gran, you
forget what these boys have done.'
You know? Some of these boys
have done horrible, horrible things.
Things that would make you sick
to the stomach.
And they may be the worst boys
in the State
but they're still boys.
Robin would think Batman was
a big poof if he cried that much.
Come on, you'll be right.
Have some tissues.
OK, right. Yep, I see.
Well, we heard back from the hearing
specialist this afternoon
and unfortunately Nathan's tests
have shown
that he isn't going to get
any better.
His hearing is in fact
going to get worse...
Look, thank you very much
for the call.
..so they say
that in a couple of months,
he'll be completely deaf
which they call that
profoundly deaf.
He's not going to be able to have
the cochlear implant
that we were hoping might be
a possibility.
Oh, that's real bad news.
Hmm, I know.
Daniel, what are you laughing at?
Oh, no, just the way you said
'cochlear'...
Daniel, grow up.
You said Nathan's cochlear.
This is really serious.
Well, don't say 'cochlear'
if you don't want me to laugh.
Have a little bit more sensitivity,
will you?
Of course I'm gonna laugh
if you say that.
Oh, God!
You're so childish at times.
That's a real shame, isn't it?
Yeah, they reckon he might be
fully deaf within a few months.
Oh, how's your old bitch of a mother
about it all?
Yeah, she's alright.
Her boyfriend moved in today.
Oh? That was quick.
Yeah.
He sounds like an absolute dickhead
from what you've told me.
Yeah, he is one.
Hi, Nathan. I can see you.
Nath, Gran says hi!
Oi! Don't be cheeky.
Piss off, you fucking dickhead.
Steve, give me the remote.
Give me the... I'm going to bed
so that needs to be on 22
at all times, alright?
22, no louder, OK? Got it?
Fair enough.
Now, Nathan, watch my lips.
Now, you be good,
try your hardest at school
and don't get into trouble.
OK, goodnight.
Let's do our Eskimo kiss.
Thanks, sweetheart.
Alright, night-night. Be good.
Goodnight.
STEVE: You're off to bed, Nathan?
Nath, say goodnight to Steve.
Goodnight.
Middle finger down, please, mate.
Nathan, down.
Hey, Steve, what's four minus three?
Daniel, grow up.
NATHAN!
Nathan, Daniel wants you.
Nath, Nath, Nath, you're a legend.
You're a fag.
You're the best brother ever.
No, you're not,
you're a fucking dickhead.
Awesome brother. Fag!
Fuck off!
Goodnight, family!
Goodnight, legends.

Nath's in so much trouble.
He's been listening
to rap music.
No more bloody Smouse!
They could arrest him unless we agree
to let the welfare people come over.
They came up with this bullshit idea
of sending Nath to a deaf school.
He said he doesn't wanna go.
I don't think that's a bad idea.
You're not the fucking dad, anyway!
Daniel's crying!
I'm not crying!
You're so gay!
This is Smouse.
(All sing rap)
We're the biggest
selling
hip-hop single
of all time.
Westbank
Shopping Mall!
Got an image of being
a bit of a faggot.
He grew up as a rich-ass kid.
You ain't no motherfucking gangster!
If I was a nerd
at school,
you was a nerd
at school.
Welcome to my crib.
Smouse, you gotta write
some of your own shit.
? Boo on you... ?
I gotta do some house arrest
and wear this shit
so they can track me.
Get off that fucking thing.
You need a dick, Dad.
We have a high-risk detainee here.
Pop those on.
He's been busted wanking a dog.
Hey, dog wanker! The word's out
that he's a dog wanker.
His life is not going to be easy
in here.
Watch your dog around him,
he might get wanked.
All he did was do a shit
on a police car.
Go blow your didgeridoo, Marlin.
(Raps) You're a bitch,
a big, fat, motherfucking bitch.
