Wentworth (2013–…): Season 8, Episode 9 - Monster - full transcript

I have to give a report
on your mental state

at your committal into the
murder of the real Kath Maxwell.

- I won't cooperate.
- You might have convinced Dr Miller,

but don't think for a second
that I am buying your act.

Oh, fuck!

Find out who put Ann
Reynolds in the hospital.

- That's the only way this will end.
- You're fucking useless!

Your request to apply for
top surgery has been granted.

So you've just gotta get a tick

from Dr Miller to
proceed to the next stage.

The government requires
me to sign off on it.



Mate, I'm trans, not psychotic.

- OK, can you tell me what happened?
- It was just like I was go back there!

I just hit him. He
thinks I am a nutcase,

and he's never, ever gonna
sign off on my surgery now.

I know who bashed Ann Reynolds.

I saw Lou Kelly coming
out of the kitchen.

- Give me Ann Reynolds' attacker.
- It was Lou Kelly.

- She bashed Ann Reynolds.
- Fuck off! I didn't fucking do it!

This cult that you and Lou were in,

- how did everyone die?
- Poison.

Civilian clothes or prison uniform?

You're on remand... you
can wear your own clothes

or the teal; up to you.

I'll wear the teal.



I'm Governor Jackson.

We don't have a protection unit,

but given the court suppression order,

none of the inmates know who
you are or why you're here.

They don't tend to ask,

but I'd keep your charges to yourself.

Do you have any questions?

Can I keep this?

You'll get it back.

Eventually.

Does everyone get the royal welcome?

Only mass murderers.

You can't keep blanking me, Kath.

Your committal hearing's this week...

that doesn't concern you?

Why does she hate me so much?

Why don't you ask her?

I know what I'd hear.

Mm-hm. What's that?

Do you think Joan sees
herself as a bad person?

I think if she was
sitting here right now,

she would tell me that everything
she ever did was necessary.

Good, bad... it's all relative.

She killed a child.

Have you remembered something?

If you've recovered memories, Kath,

I need to know.

Kath.

Kath! Hey. Hey. Hey, Kath.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

You won't get anywhere
by hiding from the past.

As hard as it is, you
have to engage with me.

The only way that I can help you...

is if you help yourself.

Yes. So that's where we are.

- Governor Jackson's office.
- Ann.

What are you doing here?

Broken ribs hurt just
as much at home, Vera.

I was just commending Will
on keeping it out of the news.

So, did you find out who attacked me?

Lou Kelly.

Lou Kelly?

Yeah. She was exposed
after she instigated a riot

- to undermine the top dog. It was part of some play...
- Wait. What?

- We had a riot?
- It was a minor disruption.

It wasn't so minor...

- we had to shut down the crèche.
- But everything's fine now.

In your absence, I made some
decisions to restore the status quo.

Are you that disgruntled
about being my snitch?

- Fuck you.
- So, what,

you stuck the boot in
because you resent me?

Do you really think
I'd risk Reb's surgery?

You may be a cunt, but
you've been true to your word.

- So what do you reckon?
- Shh!

I'm up to the bit where he
talks about sucking on your toes.

Oh, yeah. That was a bit gross.

You should see his photo. Hot as fuck.

You better show me hot as fuck.

- OK.
- Of course, it's in your titties.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Just hang on. Wait.

- Boomer. I'd almost turn for him.
- Hey!

What the fuck? It's Allie.

Oh, yeah. No, he just Photoshopped
the two of us together.

Yeah, all right.

To politics now, as the US Secretary
of Defence, Michael Schwartz,

arrived in Melbourne this morning

with a large contingent of security

for Friday's annual AUSMIN conference.

Raising questions about the
secret US Australian military base

exposed by alleged
terrorist Judy Bryant,

Schwartz was asked about America's
attempts to extradite her.

I can tell you the
president is very determined.

He's working closely with your Prime
Minister to ensure that Ms Bryant

faces the justice she
deserves in the United States.

Who's that guy?

He's a terrorist in a suit.

Hey, Judy.

Jenkins.

- Yo.
- This is Bausch.

Jenkins is a peer worker...
she'll take you under her wing.

That's your cell.

Play nice.

Hey. I'm Allie.

Yeah, she's top dog. I'm just Boomer.

'Sup. I'm Ruby.

Sheila.

Sheila.

This is Liz's old cell.

Who's Liz?

Friend of mine.

Sort of like me mum.

She's dead.

How did she die?

I smothered her with a pillow.

What you in for?

I didn't think you were supposed to ask.

I'm a nosey cow.

- Murder.
- Right. Well, you'll be right at home, then.

So these are the rules, OK...

you keep your door open at all times.

Don't touch other people's
stuff, like, especially not mine

and out here is a panic button.

Don't ever press it.

Oh. Welcome.

Attention, compound.
Attention, compound.

The canteen is now open for H Block.

You lost, sweetheart?

No.

Just wanna buy some acid.

You know, just wanna forgot for a bit.

Couple of tabs is all.

It doesn't make any sense.

I am helping them with
Keane's transition.

Don't expect gratitude from Kelly.

- Our information came from a reliable source.
- Who?

- You know I can't tell you that...
there are protocols in place.

Well, stuff the protocols.
I am the general manager...

I have a right to get to the truth.

- Oh, shit.
- Ann.

I'm sorry, Ann.

The protocols are there to
protect prison informants.

Excuse me.

- I'm going to leak this...
- What is it? Is it Grace?

It's Ferguson.

She wants to speak to you.

Said it's a private matter.

Yeah.

This is it, Vera.

Her committal's in three days...

this is where she pulls some
fucking rabbit out of her arse.

Take the bread rolls out of the oven.

Come on!

Oh! Goodness me.

You wanted to see me?

What do you want?

I want to, um...

I want to know what
it is that I have done

to deserve your enmity and disrespect.

You're not serious.

Dr Miller suggested that I speak to you,

to ask you,

even if the response is...

unpalatable.

Un...

palatable.

Mm.

Well, where do I start, Joan?

Well, how about the time

you let a prisoner
stick a needle in my neck

and infect me with hepatitis
C? Do you remember that?

Or when you pretended to mentor me,

but were really manipulating
me the entire time?

Or what about when you stripped
me of the deputy governorship

after publicly shaming me or that time

you slapped my face and threatened
to destroy me? Oh, no, hang on...

what about when you use
the man I fell in love with

to seduce and spy on me, and then
to betray and utterly humiliate me?

Let's just cut through
all the bullshit, Joan,

and tell me what the
fuck you really want!

Linda.

Hey, you didn't turn up to
our session this morning.

I was busy.

When the man who bashed
Ferguson was caught,

he had $30,000 on him that
he had stolen from her.

- Do you know what that means?
- Vera...

It means that she was
this close to escaping.

She had worked so hard for
it. It was her total focus.

Her amnesia is part of that focus, Greg,

her bloody-minded determination
to win at all costs.

Do you want a cup of tea?

If you testify on Friday

that her amnesia is genuine,

she's going to use that as
the basis for her defence

when it goes to trial.
You know that, don't you?

I'm aware of that possibility, yeah.

So what are you going to
tell the committal hearing?

I haven't completely decided.

This looks fucking delicious.

Mmm.

Corn and carrot... my favourite.

Oi, Miss Miles, when's
Lou back from the slot?

Up to the governor.

It was up to me, Keane would be all man

by the time she gets out of the slot.

What are you looking at, Winter?

Oh, you used to be all smiles.

Now you're just a cunt.

And here's the pig trough.

Hope you like shit food.

Yeah, stay away from the beans.

Jesus, Keane, pick that up!

Hey!

Keane! Get back here!

Hey!

Jesus.

My God. It's you.

Rebecca.

What are you doing here?

- Rebecca.
- It's Reb.

Why are you in here?

Armed... armed robbery.

What?

I thought you were dead.

- This is a miracle.
- Why are you here, Sheila?

I cashed one cheque too many.

- Oh, so you stole the money.
- I didn't steal anything.

I raised that money for the clinic
through investments that I made.

When I got back there that morning,

the whole place was
in ashes. There were...

bodies everywhere.

How are you not dead?

Lou... Lou woke me up.

- Lou?
- She's here.

- With me.
- What? Where?

She's in the slot.

They think I was in on it.

They think that I helped
Mendel poison everyone.

I wasn't even there.

You would know that; you
can tell them it wasn't me.

- Rebecca, you're my saviour.
- It's Reb.

Look, I told you... Lou woke me
up, and we just... we just ran.

I didn't see anything.

Hey, are you OK?

Who are you?

I'm Sheila.

Come in in my cell, hon.

OK, Miss Grace.

Are you hungry, love?

Yeah?

- You got a sec?
- Yeah.

- That's it.
- Ah.

Uh, Jake installed a camera
in the nursery at home.

Oh, to perv on the hot nanny?

Yeah, probably.

- How are the ribs?
- Yeah, I'll live.

Look, I know I was a bit short
with you earlier, and I'm sorry.

It's just,

you know, you can work so hard
at your job and your life, and

then things outside of your control
just come in and pull the rug out.

Yeah, I do know that feeling.

So you do understand why I had
to make the changes I've made?

To a point.

I draw the line at spit bags,
Ann. I think they're abhorrent.

Yeah, well, when that spit bag
was shoved over my head, I...

felt helpless.

Same feeling I had standing
outside that London tube station,

listening to the sirens wailing.

Yeah, look, I feel like a victim
again, and that's the cruellest blow.

And the worst thing is that

whoever really did this
could go unpunished.

They won't.

- We have the right person.
- I really wish I could believe that.

The top dog told us.

Allie Novak?

I think we can trust her word.

Thanks, Vera.

No, mate. Well, she's... No.

No, mate. No, I know it's
a tough spot for you, mate.

No, she's been in the slot for a week,

that's why she hasn't paid the guy.

No, I can't, Trav. I
don't have the bank codes.

No, mate. Only Lou does.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry...
you just have to stall him.

OK. Bye.

Hello.

Hello?

Who is this?

Joan, is that you?

Joan?

Kath?

What are you... ?

I'd put that back if I were you,

before Reb sees.

Where's the phone?

Where is it?

If you don't give it to me now,
I will have this cell tossed.

It's you.

What?

It's you.

What is me?

Do you know what it's like to be alone?

Real loneliness.

Not having a connection
with another human being,

not knowing who you
friends are, your family.

It's like...

It feels like floating in space...

untethered...

abandoned,

- just surrounded by nothing.
- OK,

I don't know what you're playing at.

Except for a single point of light...

just this... this...

gut certainty that there is
something in my life of value

and meaning that's real.

And it was always there; it
was just... it was like...

It was like a pulse...

a number.

And I didn't know what it was
or what it meant, I just knew...

I just knew that
it was really important to me

that this number connected
me to something, to some...

to someone...

who could connect me to who I am.

And who could...

Who could
release me from this.

It was you.

Novak.

Can I have a word?

You know Ferguson's whole...

amnesia thing is a bit gross.

- Yeah, no shit.
- Well, Dr Miller is of the belief that it is real,

and he is going to testify to that

at her committal hearing on Friday.

- OK, but it's just a committal; it's not a trial.
- Yes, yes, yes.

But if he tells the hearing that
she is suffering from amnesia,

she will use that at the murder trial

to make the jury feel sorry for her.

If she acts up a storm like the
one that I have just witnessed,

she will win that jury over,

and when she does,

they will drop the
charges for Bea's murder.

- What? They can't do that.
- Yeah, they can,

and they will.

I need your help to expose
Ferguson to Dr Miller.

But... how?

I've already thrown
everything at that bitch.

She won't break.

- Lou's taken out?
- Nah.

She wouldn't tell me.

Can I please speak to Reb?

OK, you didn't see what happened...

but you know he did it, right?

So you just need to tell
the police you witnessed it,

and it'll get me off the murder charges.

You want me to lie.

Isn't that against my true path, Sheila?

Do you think my true path is
to suffer for what Mendel did?

We both know what he was, Reb.

I know what he did to you.

Don't you ever fucking talk about that.

I would have thought
that you'd wanna help me

after what we shared.

What we sh... ?

You were a part of my therapy, Sheila.

You humiliated me.

You made me feel deeply ashamed

- of who I was.
- Mendel forced me to do that.

Yeah, and you believed
in what he was doing.

- I just wanted to let the light into your heart.
- Yeah, well, fuck the light.

- To help cure you.
- I'm sorry?

To cure me?

Of your perverse lesbianism.

- The wicked will not inherit...
- I'm not a fucking lesbian!

God, you never got it, Sheila!

I'm a man.

... craving hot dog.

- All 6 inches.
- Have never been able to experience that before.

Hang on. No, it says 12 inches.

- As if. Check out his pecs.
- What?

- Oi, Judes, what you reckon?
Definitely on the roids, eh?

You know what that shit
does to the love muscle.

Wh... to what?

- Wouldn't it be nice?
- Your love muscle.

No. No, it's 12...

12 inches of throbbing hot dog.

Yeah, all right. Whatever.

- Oh, yeah.
- Whatever.

It's not... Get your... Nah,

- get your dirty feet away from me.
- Say I've got sexy feet!

- Are you OK?
- Yeah.

I was thinking that you should
go back and see Dr Miller.

And you said yourself,
it wasn't his fault.

No, I'm all good. Thanks.

You have to get him to sign
off on that surgery, Reb.

Lou said she would sort it.

When Lou gets out of the slot,
she's gonna take a crack at him.

- Is that what you want?
- What are you talking about?

Her way of sorting Miller...

- is to get rid of him anyway she can.
- That's bullshit.

Do you want that on
your conscience, Reb?

You know, my boy, Danny,

he went down that violent path,

and it cost him everything.

I don't want the same for you.

I'm not gonna let that happen.

- I can't go there!
- Wow, wow, wow.

- You can't fucking make me!
- No one's trying to make you do anything.

- I can't! I can't.
- No, you're staying here with us.

- What's going on?
- I dunno; she just started carrying on.

I can't go there! Why is
my dad making me go there?

Hey, hey, hey. Come on. Come
on. Look at me. Look at me.

- Fuck. What have you taken?
- What do you mean?

- What's she taken?
- I don't bloody know.

Fuck. Something's
wrong with me, isn't it?

- Oh, God.
- No. No, no, no, no. Let's get her into a chair.

It's OK. It's OK. It's
OK. Have you taken ice?

- What?
- Have you taken ice?

- No, no, just a little acid...
that's all. Just to take the edge off.

Why are you looking at me like that?

- Stop looking at me like that!
- No, I'm not looking at you like nothing!

- OK, don't crowd her. Just give her some space.
- Judy.

- Oh, fuck.
- Judy, it's OK.

It's OK. You're safe. There's
nothing to worry about.

Just look at me. Look at my face.

- Who the fuck are you?!
- I'm Sheila.

- Did my father send you?
- No, sweetheart.

You're just having a bad trip;
that's all. It's just the acid.

It's messing with your mind, OK?

OK. So what I need, I need you
to focus on your thoughts, OK?

Just acknowledge any bad thoughts,

and just let them go.
Because it's not real.

- It's not real.
- It's not real.

- He wants me to die!
- No, no,

you're surrounded by
people who love you,

who only want the best for you.

I just need you to concentrate
on your thoughts. That's it.

Yes, and just let them go,

let your thoughts just come and go.

It's not real.

It's not real.

That's good. That's really good.

So, Judy, how about we lie
down now? You wanna do it, huh?

Let's lie down. OK.

She'll be all
right. I'll stay with her.

I'm afraid.

Shh. Shh. It's all right. It's all good.

You're safe.

You're safe.

You're safe.

You're safe.

I'm happy to watch her.

Thanks. You've done this before?

- Don't look at me like that, Dad.
- Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

- I'll be a good girl.
- You are a good girl.

Hmm? You're safe.

It's a bit like a truth serum with LSD.

Whatever you're suppressing,
it always bubbles up.

Good girl.

I know how
to break Ferguson's act.

- What?
- But I'm gonna need you to pull her shadow.

- Yeah, I can organise that, but...
- I'm also gonna need some way of recording her.

OK, girls, time to eat.

You want a cup of tea, Kath?

That would be lovely. Thank you.

Uh, Zheng?

- Mm.
- Can I grab some coffee, please,

for our unit? We're low.

Great. Thank you.

Thank you.

- Aren't you having one?
- Nah.

Well, I...

- Thank you. Thank you.
- It's OK.

You deserve it.

Oh, God.

Keane. Appointment with
Dr Miller... let's go.

I'm really glad you
decided to come back.

Yeah, I didn't have much choice.

- What happened last time...
- ... Wasn't your fault.

I have some, um...

issues when it comes to therapists.

Well, you wouldn't be the first.

Can you tell me more about that?

I'll tell you what...

why don't we try something? Yeah?

Do you know what, uh, a mind map is?

OK, so, I'm going to write
the word 'therapist' here,

and I just want you to free associate.

Single words are fine... just
whatever comes into your head,

I want you to say it out loud.

Yeah?

Any word... there's no right or wrong;

just whatever comes into your head.

- Cult.
- OK, good.

Evil.

Fear.

Light.

Cross.

Ring.

Salt.

Scream.

Reb.

No, no, no!

Please, no!

Reb, are you OK?

_

Hey.

You all right?

Come with me.

Let's get you back to your unit. Eh?

That's it.

Why don't we, um, get
you to sit right here?

That's good.

That's good. That's good.

I feel very hot.

Why are you being so nice to
me? I thought you hated me.

I was wrong about you.

I can see
that you've changed.

Oh!

What's this for? Eh?

Ah. I take it things went
well with Dr Miller, then.

Yeah. Thank you.

I'll help you.

I'll tell the police I saw Mendel
make everyone drink the poison.

On one condition...

you don't ever tell anyone
about what he did to me.

I don't want Lou knowing.

I don't want that to affect
how she feels about me.

Of course.

Thank you.

You don't look so good.

I think I'm... I think I'm
coming down with something.

- Holy shit.
- What?

- What's happened to your face?
- What do you mean?

Your face. It's...

You don't look like Kath any more.

You're not Kath.

I am.

I think you know who you really are.

- I don't.
- Come on, Joan.

- Nothing is making any sense.
- No. I know it doesn't make any sense, but it will.

It will if you just tell me.

Come on... just
tell me who you really are.

Tell me who you really are.

- I don't understand.
- Come on.

I'm...

so thirsty.

- Where? Where?
- My hand!

- It's on my hands!
- Who's blood is it, Joan?

Is it Bea's blood?

- It's the girl.
- What girl? What girl, Joan?

It's from the girl! Oh, God! No!

It's from the girl! Oh, God! No!

What girl? Come on!

I'm going to be sick.

Oh!

Come on. Come and sit down, Joan.

- You can be honest with me, Joan.
- My name is not Joan!

- It's Kath!
- Yes, it is.

- It's Kath! I'm Kath! I'm Kath!
- No, you're not Kath.

- I'm Kath!
- No, you are Joan Ferguson.

You're Joan fucking Ferguson!

Oi! What's going on!

What's wrong with her?

What are you fucking playing
at? Where's the camera?

Argh!

Get away from me!
- What the fuck is going on?

Get off me!

- Argh!
- Argh!

The Freak's fucking losing it.

Hey! Get back!

What do you want from me?

What do you want?

Oh!

I'm sorry.

I am so, so sorry. I didn't...

I...

I killed her.

I am so sorry.

I killed her.

I killed her!

Kath.

It's OK.

Nothing's gonna happen to you.

We just need you to be calm. OK?

I killed her.

So I want you to come
with me to Medical.

We'll have you checked out. OK?

It's gonna make you
feel so much better... I promise.

You come with me?

Kath?

Kath.

- Oh, shit!
- Bloody hell.

Oh, shit.

On your feet, Kelly.

Give us a second.

I spoke to the police.

I expressed my doubts
that you assaulted me.

They're reconsidering the charges.

You're welcome.

Also gets you out of here.

Governor's order.

Just so you know...

it was Novak who lagged on you.

I figure either she bashed me

or she's protecting who did.

It's not my business, but...

I'd use all my authority to protect you,

if you decided to take it personally.

- Hey, Kath. How you feeling?
- The girl...

the girl I keep seeing. She...

She looks at me with such...

- accusation.
- Kath...

Joan Ferguson murdered her.

I think she... I think she...

she stab... she stabbed
her with a shard of glass.

Kath, listen to me.

We got the results
of the blood tests back.

You have LSD in your system. OK?

It's causing hallucinations.

Nothing you're
experiencing right now can be trusted.

OK.

- What's that?
- It's OK.

- What is that?!
- It's OK, Kath. It's just to help you sleep.

Why were there no guards with her?

I removed them.

Shit, Vera.

The nanny cam? Seriously?

How many times do we
have to go through this?

Exposing Ferguson
only risks exposing us.

OK. She should be asleep for hours.

So you heard what she
screamed in the corridor...

"I killed her. I killed her."

That is as good as a confession.

To what?

To the murder of Kath Maxwell.

I don't think she was
talking about Kath Maxwell.

Besides, her blood has
high levels of LSD...

someone obviously slipped it to her.

Look, whatever she said
or did under its influence,

it's meaningless.

Linda.

I'm about to do the incident report.

When you're done, finish up and
hang your pass in at the gate.

- What?
- There was no need for you to assault the prisoner.

Your three strikes were
up... you're suspended.

Attention, compound.
Attention, compound.

Phones are now available to use.

Oh, my God! Mmm.

And guess what?

- You're not gonna believe this.
- What?

Sheila's here.

You remember the news report
on the telly, it was her.

She stole the clinic's money.

- Sheila's here?
- Mm.

The cops reckon she helped
Mendel poison everyone.

She's been charged with murder.

Hey, shh, it's OK, 'cos I told her,

I'll just tell the police
that she wasn't even there.

What? No, Reb. You can't.

Nine people were killed.
All the records were burnt.

The police didn't even
know we were there.

You cannot get us mixed up in that shit.

- But she didn't do anything.
- You can't do it.

But I have to, Lou.

Look, I know Sheila
did some awful stuff,

but she was just as much of
a victim of Mendel as we were.

No, she wasn't.

She used to

drug some of the girls with
Rohypnol so Mendel could rape them.

She was no victim; she
is a fucking monster.

Lou.

- It's so good to see you.
- Cut the crap, Sheila.

I am the last fucking
face you wanna see.

If you think that Reb
is gonna bail you out,

you're even fucking
crazier than I remember.

So you're still controlling her?

Him.

And he made the decision himself
after I told him what you really are.

And what about you, Lou?

Have you told Reb the truth about you?

Oh, shit. Oh, shit, shit.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

What's going on? Don't tell
me you've dropped acid too.

No, no. She's just freaking out 'cos
Gavin's coming to visit tomorrow.

- Well, isn't that good?
- No, it's not good, no,

'cos he thinks that I look like you,

like I've got I've got your
boobs and your arse and,

like, all this is all that. It's not.

- Yeah, but he's into your sexy voice.
- Coming out of her sexy mouth.

- What are you talking about?
- Oh, fuck it!

Boomer. It won't matter when he sees you

and talks to you in person.

What? You're gonna give up hot
as fuck and not give it a chance?

I mean, think about the abs.

Well, what if he, like, takes one
look at me and just bolts?

Hey, if he does, he's an idiot.

He won't. Besides, we're
gonna do your hair and make-up.

Oh, yeah. You're gonna look like such a spunk.

Can you please make me look like Allie?

I'm not a bloody miracle worker.

Oh, you little shit.

You're fucked. You're fucking dead.

You fucker. That won't stop me.

Keep running!

I love you, Mummy.

I can't believe it's
finally gonna happen.

- I owe it all to you, babe.
- Mm.

No, like, really.

I love you.

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

Baby, there's something
I need to tell you.

Reynolds told me it
was Novak who lagged.

We're gonna take the bitch down.

Attention, compound.

It's the episode
you've been waiting for.

- Come on!
- The season final of Wentworth.

This is not just a threat,

she'll follow through.

- What are you gonna do?
- What Bea and Kaz would have done.

We're goin' to war.

No!

Keep your eyes on Ferguson, I
think she's trying to escape.

Is Ferguson in there?

The season final of Wentworth,

next Tuesday, 8.30pm on Fox Showcase.
