[Gentle music]

[Indistinct chatter]

[Man] Here she comes.

[Inaudible]

[Mel] My Mum said
I got made in prison,

so maybe it was always
gonna go this way.

I remember after he got let out,
my dad told me

it was a sign
I was going to turn out bad.

And he was right.

[Sounds from the womb]
[Gentle music]

[Shouting, door opens]

[Door closes]

[Door opens, people shouting]

[Door closes,
people shouting loudly]

[Indistinct chatter]

[Doors close, machines beeping]

[Inaudible]

[Doors open]

- Good morning. How are you?
- Good morning, good.

- What was your name?
- Paul Karasawicz.

Show me behind your ears.

- Run your fingers in the hair.
- [Case worker] Name?

[Mel] Mel.

[Case worker] Mel Blight...
Good.

So you've just come
from juvenile.

Did you do
youth violent offenders?

[Mel] Mm-hmm.

[Case worker] Had a look at your
visitors list. It was blank.

You expecting anyone
to come and see you? No.

You'll be sharing a cell with
a new inmate, Mark Shepard

who's in from 'max,

and is technically
supposed to be celled...

Why's that?... What did he do?

Yeah, I can't tell you that.

If you'd like, I could put you
into management.

- Says you've done iso before.
- I don't care.

Look, we'll move you
if another bed comes up.

Though you are
quite close to parole.

I've got a year left.

Yep.

That's what parole's for.

To help you
with that readjustment...

So I've enrolled you in
STOP, Smart Thinking on Parole.

Part of the program here
as well is that

we get you to write a letter
to your victim.

- Just showing contrition.
- Um.

But he's dead.

You don't actually
have to send it.

It's for the board.

It's for you as well, I guess.

It's like a story.

How you feel about
everything that happened.

How you've changed.

How you're sorry, what you
could have done differently.

Yeah, okay. Yep.

[Doors close]

Alright.
Feel like drooling or dribbling,

over there for your meds.

You got any 'bupe' you
know who to come and see, yeah?

Do they have a PlayStation?

There's no such
thing as fucking PlayStation.

Fuck.

Over there, Crazy Steve.

Okay, boys.

Important times to remember
are your muster times.

They're at 7, 12, 4.
Lockdown at 5.30.

Oh, kitchenette over there
for all your food and shit.

Follow me.

All right, fellas.

Karasawicz? You. Down there.

Blight. Number 8, mate.

Down there.

[Noises in the background]

[Laughter in the background]

[He starts playing a melody]

That's my chair.

Just ask next time.

Good manners to ask, isn't it?

Oh, I haven't had
a cell mate before,

so my manners are probably
a bit off. I'm Mark.

Mel.

It's a good shake.

I know you've heard about me on
the 'idiot box', but that's...

That's not me.

I haven't.

They... They were just saying...

What did they say?

That they'd transfer me.

So I didn't have to share
with you.

Why didn't you?

Coz fuck 'em right?

Fucking nice keyboard.

Reckon you can come play
at my service?

I'm setting up a service.

Like the one that I had at
Barwon. Had a service at Barwon.

I told them
I'd stay out of the yard

if they let me use
the multi-faith.

I know, "God fucking this, that.
Hallelujah, Amen".

People think
you're fucking nuts.

But it's all right,
don't worry about it.

I'm not going to push it on you.
I'm not gonna push it on you.

But it'd be nice if you
might be able to play something.

What do you reckon this...

Do you reckon it'll...
help... me?

You seem very familiar to me.

Very.

So, in our parole
submissions, something we're

going to focus on
is how we tell our stories.

It wasn't even my fault.

I'm just a people pleaser,
you know, and it's like me being

a Taurus too, you know,

like a fucking bull
in a China shop.

My dad was an alcoholic.

"Poor me, poor me,"

"pour me another drink."

Nothing changed,
nothing changed.

I couldn't believe it.
It's fucking fucked.

I'm a fucking piece of shit
anyway, so who gives a fuck?

Know, when you're a kid,
you know? No one really

gives a fuck about you
until you doin' stupid shit

And you graduate to fucked shit.

Keep doing fucked shit,
this, that.

And next thing you know,
you're fucked.

You know?

But it is what it is, you know?

You been getting into these,
have you?

I haven't touched them.

Well half the pack's gone.

That's because
you've been eating them, Waz.

How's that 'sure thing'
of yours?

Still running?

You're gonna to have to pay up.

and I can't vouch for you
anymore.

Oh, mate.

This what it's come to, has it?

You turning into an old woman
nagging me about my bets.

Shane's not kidding, mate.
You can't keep taking our money.

"Our" money?

Yeah, our money, you've pissed
it up against the wall again.

Who do you think
they're gonna send after you?

How do you think
that makes me feel?

You're bringing me a message,
are you?

Pay up or you're dead meat?

You're eight grand in.
They knock cunts for less.

Tell them to let me double or
nothing at the Geelong Cup.

That fucking thing's
as rigged as all get out.

Not till you pay what you owe.

On nine bucks a day? How the
fuck am I supposed to do that?

Yeah, well, that's my point,
I fucking warned you, didn't I?

Look.

Shane said there's a contract
on that new cunt Shepard.

- It's 50 grand.
- I'm not a fucking murderer.

Well Shane's had it, so you
fucking sort it out with him.

[Music's playing
in the background]

[Shouting in the background]

[Dripping sound]

[Flushing, shouting and banging]

[Voice from loudspeakers]

- Name?
- Jackavou.

Come on mate! [Laughter]

[Quiet laughter
in the background]

- Hurry the fuck up, mate.
- Hurry the fuck up!

[Indistinct shouting]

Hey Mel!

Got a keyboard
with your name on it.

Got loads more
black and white buttons.

[He plays the keyboard]

[Church music]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Boring church music, blah, blah.
No, you got to feel the spirit.

You've got to, whatever the
spirit wants, you follow it.

So there's nothing between
the spirit and your buttons.

Just feel it!

[Spiritual music]

Thank you.

- I'm Mark.
- Hey, Mark.

I know a lot of you have heard
about me on TV, for my crime,

the media opening old wounds to
get me sent back to 'max?

But that's not me.

Something inside changed.

I saw that I wasn't to blame.

I saw that
none of you're to blame.

You didn't ask
to be made as you are.

Or who you came from.

Or your fucking postcode.

If you want change, real change.

You won't get it
through clinicians

or psychs with their meds
and their programs

and their fucking PowerPoint.

They just want to control you.

Make you feel bad.

Now, I was completely
illiterate, like some of you,

but then one day
I opened up this book

and I began to read.

And right there was miracle
number one. [audience mumbling]

Then I was reborn.
[audience swearing and laughing]

And I heard him speak
through me.

Are you just like
the most cooked cunt here?

Or do you actually listen when
you say this horse shit, mate?

[Spiritual music]
[Audience mumbling]

[Chatter and laughter
from audience]

[Speaking in tongues]

[Speaking in tongues]

[Indistinct muttering]

You have to hear
the spirit yourself.

Think back
on what brought you here.

Try to remember the moment
that you decided to choose...

To choose...

The path you took.

[Solemn music]

[Chaplain] How are you going to
pay for what you did?

Only each of you can know that,

and you will not be free
until you have.

Now free doesn't mean just
walking outside these walls.

Free means free of the guilt,
and there should be guilt.

It's no accident.

It's no mistake
that has brought you here.

You owe a debt to society.

Are you going to be
a benefit to society?

Are you going to be a scientist
and study astrophysics?

Are you going to look
into the future for time travel?

Are you going to head off
on the light years

and look back on the Earth?
[buzzing from shaver]

First, you're going to need
to start over.

Starting from now.

Begin again as a new person.

[Thump, moaning]

[Indistinct chatter]

Hey!

[Moaning]

[Screaming]

[Mark] Until you are able to
accept yourself as God made you,

no matter where you are,

will be some kind of prison.

[Gentle music]

[Mel] Dear Jason.

They want me to write this

letter to you and say sorry
that I killed you.

They want me to make
a story out of it

and pretend I changed
so they can give me parole.

But I haven't changed.

No one does.

Especially inside.

I met someone here

who says we're not to blame
for what we did.

Because we didn't choose how
we're made and all that shit.

How God made us this way.

I don't know why he'd do that.

It would be nice
if there was a reason though.

Parole is about
making better neighbours,

not better criminals.

Who can tell me
the key principles

the board is looking for?

Do you know what parole is?

They all start with C.

[Man] Casino constitutionalism?

That's just what it is,
you know.

[Warren] Culpability, contrition
and change.

[Woman] Yeah.

Can you tell us something about
the way you've changed, Warren?

Uhh...

I can tell you
that Harrow changed the channel

when I was
watching TV the other day.

And I...
I took a moment.

Whereas the old me
wouldn't have done that.

Oh yeah, what would have
he'd done mate? Go on.

See? I've changed.

Do we have to do parole?

- Good question, Mel.
- Listen,

I've been informed
of my sources, right? [Mumbling]

Okay, okay, okay!

So parole is something
that you can turn down.

But you're all going
to be released eventually.

Parole is a way to adjust,
to get a plan in place.

Family contacts, support
structure, bank account, a job.

Mel, can you please sit down.

And join the group. [Hard
thumping, people cheering]

[Cheering and applause]

[Thumping and cheering]

Oi, put the table down now!
On the floor!

Sit down nakkas!

Get the fuck off me,
you fucking dogs! Fuck you!

- You sit down!
- Calm it down!

[Alarm]

[Screaming]

You fucking dogs!

[Alarm]

[Intense screaming]

You fucking dogs!
[Kicks the wall]

[Breathing heavily]

No, no mate!

[Screaming]

- No, no!
- You fucking dirty cunt!

[Screaming in pain]

Fuck! You fucking asshole!

Jesus! Jesus!

Somebody! [Thumps]

[TV] A notorious killer's
fight for freedom,

a community torn apart.

Mark Shepard was
only 13 years old when he

committed one of the
worst crimes this country

has ever seen.

How can you think about
letting someone like that out?

[Gentle music]

[Crickets chirping]

[Sheep bleating]

[Colleen] Why are you here,
Warren?

I try not to give
too much thought.

In here? In my office, why?

What does it say in there?

It says you found him that way,
that it was

an accident. Well,
that's not fucking credible.

I agree with you, to be honest.
You know, but if Jez says

it was an accident
I'll take him for his word, so.

Oh I didn't say Jez said that.

What did he say?

Come on, Warren,
I'm not a fucking idiot.

Are you trying to fuck
your parole?

- Is that what you're doing?
- No.

Warren, I see it all the time.

You lot beg to get out of here,

and when your time comes,
you go to pieces.

[Guard] Ask him
about the crying.

What crying?

What the fuck
are you talking about?

Jen mentioned some kind
of emotional outburst.

It wasn't an emotional outburst, okay?

She asked us about
a dream we'd had.

You know, that...

[Colleen] Tell me about it.

Why?

- Well that's why I'm here.
- I told her about it.

Well, tell me.

It was nothing, it was just a
dream about my boy Adrian.

Except you know,
he was grown up.

What happened? In the dream?

He was giving me a hug
and he goes...

He just goes, "You don't
have to do this anymore."

What was he talking about?
Do what?

I don't know.

Well that's quite a coincidence.

What?

He got back to us.

He said he was willing
to meet you on day leave

and maybe
be your support for parole.

Uh, and is he...

Well, anything else?

Apparently he's doing
an apprenticeship.

Hasn't had any
trouble with the law in years.

But Warren, look, you know
you've been good.

And, well...

Mostly good here.

And yes, Gerry did say
it was an accident,

but you are not off
the hook yet.

Is there something I can do?
I mean, anything?

That new kid in your STOP class
who had the outburst, Mel.

I'm going to put him in with you
and on maintenance.

I can't be responsible for him.

- You keep him out of trouble.
- He's a fucking psycho.

So are you.
Keep him out of trouble.

[Birds chirping]

You've obviously
never heard of 'measure twice'.

What? What do you mean?

They need to be 500.

So a bit shorter
or longer than that one?

Take your tape out. Measure it.

500. Cut it here.

- Where?
- Where my thumb is.

[Hammering]

[Indistinct chatter]

You're fucking kidding me.

Wonder you've got
any teeth left?

Wash your hands first.

Over being sick 'cuz, over it.

Nah, hundred percent 'cuz.

Did you hear
about that Shepard guy?

Bruh, I heard he gets up and
"Blah, blah, blah!"

He's a fucking spinner, bruh.

'Cuz I heard him the other day.

But you better get in quick,
because I heard some things.

Oi.

Got some ink there, cuz.
What you got?

- Oh, sister's drawing.
- Oh, sister bro!

Ooh, hook us up cuz!

Mad dog's in with Shepard huh?

No, in Casa-Del-Wazza now.

Better watch your back, mad dog.

Waz will fuck you up
just for something to do.

Ask his last cellie.

- Yeah, man.
- I'll swap you.

I'll swap you for your half.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Wand beeping]

Turn around.

[Indistinct loudspeaker]

Oh, hey boss?

I nabbed an off-cut.
Sorry, mate.

[Chatter and noise]

Hey,
what the fuck was that about?

If that was for me, you're
gonna need more than a bit of...

It wasn't.

Listen, you want to start
something here,

be my guest.

Just give it a couple of months,
after I'm out.

Then you can play king of the
shitheads with the rest of them.

It wasn't for you.

It was for him.

[Indistinct loudspeaker]

Is it for the contract?

There's a contract on him
for three grand.

- Well, why then?
- Does it matter?

It matters that I believe
you're gonna go through with it.

I will.

But why?

I don't know.

You've gotta have a reason.

[Clatter]

He's gonna knock Shepard?
The new kid?

Yeah.

How do you know
he's gonna do it?

Because I can tell.

You know, fucking Ambrose
wants to feed that little cunt.

Leave him alone for a couple
of days, and 25 each, okay?

It's 50-nothing fuckhead!

I'll clear your debt then no one
coming after ya for bashing Jez.

That wasn't me, for fuck's sake.

I swear to you!
He'll swear to it as well.

He did, but it's bullshit.

Listen, you collect on Shepard,
what's the problem?

And we'll make it
35-15, okay? That's fair.

It's the victim's family paying.
They want it done quick.

I'll give you two days.

- Okay, including tomorrow.
- Yeah.

You got till Monday, get it
done, we're square, and then...

Just put up five for yourself.

Yeah, okay.

And watch him.
I knew him in juvie.

You know he killed a kid, yeah?

Are you still coming
to the service?

Yeah.

[Mel] People like us
shouldn't be released.

I don't know if
there's something broken inside.

Or we choose to be like this.

Either way,
we shouldn't be let out.

You can see it in us,
even as kids.

[Solemn music]

It's like we're infested
with something,

that grows from inside

and hurts everyone around us.

Even our families
are scared of us,

maybe if they stop
with parole and letting us out,

things would be different.

But that's okay.

Because now I know
what I have to do.

I don't know why we do things,
but this thing

that you're gonna do,

That's the right thing.

Yeah. It's the best thing.

Milk?

I mean, whatever it is,
it just feels right.

And when you go through with it,

two of that three grand
is yours.

Yeah. Maybe get yourself
a lawyer, I reckon.

That bit of wire was
never gonna do much, was it?

No one would believe
you'd ever done this before.

Look, I'll get you a shiv, okay?

But listen...

What's your relationship like
with him?

Not... gay...

For the stay.

Everyone gets lonely.

You're gonna have to distract
him, if you know what I mean.

How?

You have to stand him
up in front of you, all right?

Here, I'll show you.
Get up here.

He'll stand there.
When you tell him you're gonna

give him a blowjob,
he'll fucking stand there, okay?

So you're sucking him off,
all right? And he's all at ease.

And when you know
he's about to blow his load,

you pull the shiv out, and bam!
Right into his ear, okay?

And you don't fucking stop.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Until he's fucking done.

Alright, until he's fucking dead
on the floor. You understand?

Yeah. So...

Why do you do that
with your eyes?

- I don't know.
- Cut it out, okay?

Because he'll fucking kill you
while you're busy blinking.

So he's on the floor, and you've
gotta fucking slash yourself.

Why?

So it looks like self-defense,
all right? You got it?

You know, you might even
still get your release.

You might even
get a fucking thank you letter.

You're doing it again!
Can't you help it or something?

I can.

Okay, good. Just do what I do.

Just blink once.
Can you do that?

Yeah, there you go.
Practice that.

Well, I'm not actually gonna
suck you off, so off you go.

Play cards?

- Sure.
- Yeah.

21?

No, I'm 18.

[Whirring sound]

[He sighs]

[Door opens]

Blight, get yourself ready and
report to the officer's station.

[He sighs]

What's going on?

[Guard] Never mind,
get a wriggle on.

Hey.

Mel. You can... You can wait.
We shouldn't be too long.

Right.

[Door closes]

There's news from Darrangal.

Your father...

has been found deceased.

As with all deaths in custody,
an autopsy will be carried out,

but it doesn't look
at this stage

like anyone else is implicated.

There's no evidence of any

mistreatment or negligence
on behalf of the department.

It does say here that he

was diagnosed with a
neurodegenerative disease.

Which I'm sure
you're probably aware of

through court documents, etc.

[Gentle music]
So, I've also got a letter here.

[Mel reading letter] Dear Mel,
I hope you're doing well.

Vigorously enjoying this life.

They ask us to write a letter
to our victim here.

I don't see the point.

I know your mother and sister
understand

and have forgiven me.

Do you know what parole is?

It's when people who've
been to prison get to come out.

So your dad gets out soon.

Ya think she'll like them?

But what we should do is, like,
not let him know where we live

and we should just keep
this place our little secret.

[Father] Gonna need directions
here, mate?

Hm?

Do I just keep going straight?

Yep.

Okay.

Come up the front here, mate.

Jeez, you're getting bigger,
aren't you?

Straight up here, yeah?

[Young Mel] Go right up here.

Is Mum still wearing
her wedding ring?

Ahh...

I don't look much.

It's just a bit of metal though,
isn't it, mate?

So she's not wearing it.

We're the same, you and me,
aren't we?

We're not like them, you and me.

Thing about the world, right?

People out there,
they don't get us.

We're ahead of the universe
you and me, aren't we?

We're not like them.

[Noise from the plastic]

We're just up here. Is that...
Is that up here, is it?

[Young Mel] Yep, the white one.

[Brakes squeal]

Just... wait here a sec.

Just wait here a sec.
[Turns off the engine]

[Front door opens and closes]

[Mel reading letter]
What I'd done wasn't my fault.

I don't even remember
a scintilla.

I shouldn't have
been given parole.

And if you
hadn't given me your address,

they'd still be alive.

I've been on a lot
of medication since then.

It's a crazy dog-eat-dog world.

I've had about enough
of trying to make sense of it.

P.S.

Any screw reading this
can fuck off.

[Voices and screaming]

What was that about?

Nothing.

I'll get you what you need
today, okay?

And chapel's at three.

Come on.

Chop-chop!

[Spiritual music]

So, miracle number two.

Hearing God's word.

They call it intrusive thoughts.

That's bullshit.
All thoughts are intrusive.

In iso, your brain...

...fucking eats itself.

But I learned to listen.

And for those of you
that wasn't around last time,

he told me,
"It's not your fault."

Then why the fuck am I here?

I had the same question.

Because they want a scapegoat.

Because they're guilty
for their sins.

Chaplain Harry Panage, he
told me that in the olden times,

the Jews,
they didn't have prison.

Once a month or a year,
I forget what it was,

they'd take a goat,

they'd put all the sins
of the tribe on it.

And then they'd send the goat
off to die.

So they could be free
and be forgiven.

The 'escape goat',
they called it.

And Jesus, he was a Jew.
He was our scapegoat.

We already have salvation
because of him.

It's why they call him
the Lamb of God.

[Man 1] Bull-fucking-shit, mate!
Jesus wasn't a fucking Jew!

[Man 2]
Fuck off
if you don't wanna hear him talk

[Man 3] You fucking let him
talk, you cunts!

All right, I'm going to tell
you a story, now.

When I was a kid,
we lived in this caravan park.

And me dad worked
at the abattoir.

And some of the guys that
he worked with lived there, too.

Different shifts.

Two of the guys
started doing to me

everything you could imagine.

Worse.

Putting all their sickness
in me.

One time I passed out,
it was so bad.

I was just...

Holding on to this...

Medallion of Saint Christopher.

And I'd stare at it to...

...to take the pain away.

And it did.

It was my escape.

And I felt my soul
leave my body.

Now I lived in a fantasy world.

Nothing was really, real.

By age nine I was an alcoholic
and a petrol sniffer,

just walking
around, just dirty on the world,

just a ticking
fucking time bomb.

Age 13, they gave me life.

And they gave me drugs
for my nature.

And they stuck me in solitary
almost 24 hours a day.

That's all right.

When I accepted salvation,

all the pain
and the shame and guilt,

all just faded away.

And I want that for you.

[Spiritual music]

[Mark speaking in tongues]

[Speaking in tongues]

[Laughing]

[Mark] Thanks all.

It's been amazing sharing
in the spirit with you today.

Next time, we talk
miracle number three.

[Sighs]

Come here a sec.

Listen to this.
[Plays the keyboard]

Don't fuck this up, okay?

[Chatter]

The prodigal son!

Yeah!

Yeah, you and me,

we make a good team up there.

I got a gift for it.

You could have it too.

Sit down. Sit down.

You know,

people like us,

God loves us the most.

'Coz we stray the most,

and we will again,
and he will forgive us again.

Like the Prodigal Son.

We're sinners.
That's why he loves us!

We'll stray again.
But he'll forgive us again.

Yes he will.

Listen.

You have something to confess.

No, mate.

- No, mate. No!
- Just lay down.

No.

- No, mate.
- Just let me.

No, no, no... No, mate.

Mel...

I'm gonna pray on this for you.

[Indistinct chatter and noises]

[Someone whistles]

[Chatter and laughter]

You dirty fucking dog,
come here!

Oi! Leave it.

[Door closes]

You alright?

Just go back inside, eh?

[Man] Fucking soft cunt!

[Screaming]

I mean...

You reckon he lopped it off
himself?

I don't know.

You reckon he measured it twice?

What's that?

I sat on it.

You sat on what, the shiv?

Yeah.

Where is it?

Left it under the mattress.

You're fucking kidding me?

For fuck's sake!

You're a fucking idiot!

Now, I made a deal
with those pricks in the yard.

They're the one's setting up
the five grand contract.

I told them to leave you alone.

You said three.

Yeah, three. What
fucking difference does it make?

You don't get this done,
they'll fucking kill you!

You're usually a target?

You look too comfortable
in your skin.

Which is a mortal fucking sin
to an Aussie.

I don't know where this bloody,
you know, laid back,

"no worries",
fucking idea comes from.

We're the most thin-skinned,
twitchy,

fucking underclass
in the world, I reckon.

Same for me when I was your age.
Couldn't have a beer

without someone
trying to start something.

And now I'm no better.

There you go.

Don't smell it.

Try not to even taste it.

What is it?
Is it beer or something?

Yeah, as good as. Go on.

[Mel] Who am I?

Born in Brooklyn, New York
in 1943,

he started off working as a
pianist, producer and arranger.

[Warren] Billy Joel?

No. [Flushing]

In 1975, he had his
breakthrough hit with 'Mandy',

which began a string
of hit singles in the early 80s,

all from multi-platinum albums.

[Music playing]

Umm...

Wouldn't have a fucking clue.

It's Barry Manilow.

Right.

You know when I was your age,

I used to think I was
going to end up on one of these.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I used to do like interviews
in my head.

I still do sometimes.

You ever do that?

No.

You got enough problems going
on, I suppose, haven't you?

With your
funny eye thing and stuff.

Means you fit in with
all the other weirdos here.

You got a girl on the outside?

No.

How?

Well, she'll just
come and visit you, you know?

Come and talk to you about God.

Write you letters,
try and save your soul.

Hey, you been locked up since...

How long?

Twelve.

And you get any before that?

Before I was twelve?

Yeah.

Hey mate,
you'd fucking clean up.

You know,
you got this innocent look,

but a dangerous prison past, yeah?

Bad boy, broken puppy dog
sort of thing.

You got a type?

Of woman?

Yeah.

Umm, I don't know.

Older women?

Yeah.

With big boobies?

Yeah.

I reckon that's the real reason
why I ended up inside

in the first place, you know.

Because I was a good kid.

Until I saw that girls

were chasing after
the fucking reprobates.

Even my mum, you know?

How long you got
til your parole?

A couple of months.

You reckon once you're out,
you could be my sponsor?

Why?

Well, I got to find
my own sponsor first.

Yeah?

I'm going to see my son
tomorrow so... I got day leave.

You guys close?

I mean, you know, we haven't
seen each other that much.

Didn't want him getting infected
by all this shit.

You know, people like Shepard.

Fucking pedophiles and...

kid killers and...

What kind of kid
can kill someone?

You know, at that age.

He rapes this girl,
drowns her in the mud,

and fucking leaves her there.

What you're doing
is the right thing.

[Mel gagging]

[Mel retching]

You alright?

[Mel] Uh-huh.

I reckon you got a weak stomach, mate.

Maybe it's time for you to go to
bed, you got a big day tomorrow.

Hey...

You know,

my old man
used to have this saying.

He was a piss-head, so he had
a lot of fucking sayings.

Always think
it makes him look smarter.

But he used to say,
"The worst of men

have got a little bit of good
in them."

"And that will be
their undoing."

So that's what you got
to remember for tomorrow, right?

You got to squish
that little bit of good.

Then you'll be right as rain.

Yeah?
[Soul music in the background]

[Animals making sounds]

[Toilet flushing]

[Moaning]

Pays to be less honest
if you want to get out.

This is supposed to be for
a parole board, not a priest.

Settle petal!

It's just a parole letter.

You can read mine if you like.

Listen,

if you can't go through
with this today,

- or if you're feeling scared...
- I'm not.

I am.

You are or you're not?

I'm doing it.

You'd better, otherwise
we're both fucking dead.

[Door opens]

Murfett. It's your big day.
Come on.

Hey, boss.

[Thumping, door closes]

[Mumbling voices]

[Letter rattles]

[Warren] Dear Jessie,

now I know why they get us
to write these to our victims.

Just writing your name
hurts like buggery.

I worked hard to
change in here.

Done just about every
self-help program there is.

I've gotten to the bottom
of Warren Michael Murfett.

Learned all
about my addiction hooks.

My ADHD, BPD...

and self- medicating with
booze and drugs.

Like most of us.

Starting from now.

[Car door opens]

[Car door closes]

Here.

You know how to work
one of those, Waz?

Yeah.

The green button,
you press it when it rings.

Don't answer it
after a few tries,

and there's a warrant out
for your arrest.

Yep.

You all right?

Mind if I sit in the front?

Yeah, come on.

[Warren]
Taking you from this world,

the accident,
as I called it at the time,

is the worst thing I ever did.

And I realize
there's no repaying that.

[Guard] So I'll take you to your
trial job at the farm first.

After your job trial you can use
that to cab it to your son's.

They'll breathalyse you
when you get back, so no booze.

[Warren] I chose to drink
and drug myself shit-faced.

I chose to steal that car.

I chose not to stop
after I knew I'd hit you.

I promise you, and this
parole board, I'll do better.

I promise
I'll stay away from stealing.

No drugs. No heavy booze.

- You listening?
- Yeah, boss.

[Warren] I can say for sure
you will find a well-rounded

member of the community
in me going forward.

A credit to this sterling
system of prison reform.

So help me God.

[Chatter and laughter]

- Hey, umm...
- I failed you.

Satan can grab a hold of you.
You have to cut him out.

Did you... Do it yourself?

It's more profitable
for thee to be cast into...

It seemed like a good idea
at the time.

Well, it turns out it's
the spirit that needs to change,

not the fucking flesh.

And I want that for you, Mel.

What do you mean?

You need to be baptized.

I have been.

Not as a kid. It has to be
of your own free will.

The second baptism,
in the spirit.

Well,
can we talk about it first?

Maybe in your cell?

Before we do it.

We can talk as much as you like.
After you got right with God.

Right?

Yep.

[Country music playing
in background]

[Ladies chattering]

[Clears his throat]

Yeah.

Yes, young man?

Just these, thanks.

Okay.

That'll be...

$51.50.

Hold on, how much are the cards?

Five each.

Five bucks?

These are $2.50 each.
If you can write small.

Yeah, okay.

Make it $49 on the nose.

You're short.

That's 50 bucks.

There's a two-buck
processing fee.

Listen, maybe you
can cut me a deal here, hey?

Can't do, squire.

Right. No, forget the knife.
I'll just get a scratchy.

- They're five.
- Yeah.

Sorry for the hassle, love.

[Chatting in the background]

Okay, so just cards, flowers,

scratchy and fun fables.

Uh, actually
I will take the knife.

Sorry. Forget the flowers.

Mm-hmm.

[Spiritual music]

I suppose you probably wondering

if I've got any Cup tips
from the man upstairs.

Unfortunately,
that I don't have.

We all want a tip, don't we?

Yeah, know the winner.
Be the winner.

Is that it?

Even if we win, we
don't walk away,

especially,
especially us in here.

We just want to go,
again and again.

We don't take our winnings.
We don't accept our losses.

We don't want to win.
We don't want to lose.

We want to be lost.

Well today...

is all about being found.

Thanks, mate.

[Sighs]

[Motor starts]

[Dog barking, birds chattering]

- Mr. Murfett?
- Yeah.

Tara. Nice to meet you, come in.

[Tara] Hey Ado, your dad's here!

Just down this way.

[Dog barking]

[Tara] So you got a pick?

[Warren] Huh?

[Tara] For the Cup.

[Warren] Oh no.

That's all good.
I like 'Merrily Rose'.

Oh you've got a rabbit?

Yeah, 'Cleezus'.

Oh wow,
I remember this coffee table.

- Are these pictures of Ado?
- Yeah.

- So cute!
- Yeah.

[Adrian] Oh, there he is!

Mate.

All grown up, eh?

[Adrian clears his throat]

I was just saying,
this coffee table, I remember.

We got it before, before you
came along, me and your mum.

Yeah, yeah, she left it to me.

- Right.
- Yeah.

And all this.

Oh, you own it?

Well, if you call
renting from a bank owning.

- [Tara] He brought photos.
- Can you go get us a beer?

Mhm.

[Adrian clears his throat]

Ah, I've got you something.

[Coughs]

Genuine Swiss Army.

[Clears his throat and coughs]

You okay?

Yeah, just a bit crook.

I always had something going on
when I was your age.

Bit of a cough or a cold
or something.

When they took my, you know,
when they took these out,

everything was good after that.

They reckon it's...

Tonsils?

No, no, no,
I mean, what's the word?

Adenoids?

Hereditary, hereditary, yeah.

- Right.
- Yeah.

You should cut down
on that though,

that's no good for you, mate.

You just out for the day?

Yeah.

Yeah, first unsupervised.

So, thanks for saying yes.

I'm glad we could, you know,
put everything behind us.

It's good to see you.

[Door opens]

I don't know
if they said anything

when they set this up, but they
want me to have a sponsor,

you know, for my parole.

It's just someone who can say
that they can vouch for me.

You wouldn't have to...

Oh no, I'm good, thanks.

You're not gonna turn down
your first beer with your son?

[Tara] Okay shhh, it's starting!

[Chattering on the TV]

[Adrian sighs]

[Chattering continues on the TV]

- Here you go.
- Nah, knock it off, mate.

What? You a monk?

No, you know...

Drugs aren't the answer,
everyone knows that.

I mean,
they're not 'not' the answer.

[Tara laughs]

You know,
I know what I'm doing.

You think this pays for itself?

You know, Mum only made the
down payment with the payout.

Look, I know things were rough
for you.

I know that,
but we make our own choices.

And the hard thing
and the right thing,

it's usually the same.

[Phone ringing]

Yep.

I'm here now.

Yep.

That's the prison,
they're gonna,

they're gonna call you in a bit
to check that I'm here.

Righto.

Listen, mate.

Whatever's happened
in the past, it's the past.

All right?

But I can help now.

I've got a job on a farm.

- Farm?
- For when I get out, yeah.

Mate,
do you want a place to stay?

Well, yeah.

I mean, there's Lazarus,
there's a halfway home

where we can stay, but I mean,
if it's all right, then.

- Sure.
- Yeah.

Yeah, we take care
of each other, hey?

Maybe start a business.
A legit...

A legit business or something.

Oh, yeah?

[Chattering continues on the TV]

Look,

I know I haven't seen you
for a long time.

I think I would've been
like eight or nine

when you banned me from visits.

I didn't ban you.
[Adrian clicking lighter]

It was a decision just
to make sure that all my shit

didn't wash off on you.

Right.

How'd that work out?

All right, I get it.

I get it, you're doing this
for my benefit.

You probably don't realize that.

But you're hurting yourself,
you know?

This shit's no good.

Well, look, it's
not as good as Mum's Oxynorm

and fentanyl when
she was sick, but it'll do.

Well, I could tell you
what she wouldn't want.

Yeah, go on,
what would she not want, eh?

[Chattering continues on the TV]

[Adrian] Ya know, I really built
you up in my head.

It's like larger than life, cunt.

Drug addict... murderer...

Look at you.

Dead shit.

Go, go! Ah shit.

I don't even think I had that
one. [Looking through papers]

[Phone buzzing]

- Go on.
- Knock it off, mate.

Answer the phone.

Hey, you want me to answer
the phone?

Yeah.

Oh, it's gonna fix everything,
is it?

[Lighter clicking]

[Phone buzzing]

Fucking hell.

[Phone keeps buzzing]

[Adrian] How's that?

[Phone stops buzzing]

[Adrian] Hello.

Yeah he's here.

Look, you're gonna need to
come and get him

because he's pretty
drunk and high.

He's been making threats.

Yeah, and he's got a knife.

Thank you.

Mate, I'd get running
if I was you.

You want another one
for the road?

[Dog barking]

[Phone ringing]

After being washed clean,

you accept that you
are not the driver of the car,

you are the passenger.

You're the instrument,
not the player.

Let it all wash away.

Think back on
the evil sinner you were.

[Gentle music]

[Inaudible]

[Mark]
All that was, is in the past.

Thank you, Jesus!

Hallelujah!

[Speaking in tongues]

Speak, spirit.
[Audience shouting]

Speak.

[Sounds of surprise
from audience]

Speak, spirit!

Speak, speak...

Speak.

[Warren]
Jesus Christ, what do you want?

Help me.

[Glass thumps]
[Someone laughs]

[Country music playing]

[Phone is ringing]

[Phone keeps ringing]

[Chatter on the TV]

My kindness
always gets best of me.

When I was a kid
they used to call me names,

make fun of me,
call me stupid and that.

Because I would believe.

That's my gift, I can believe
better than anyone.

It's my soft heart.

If I wasn't soft hearted,

you think I'd be here?

The others could let her live
after what we'd done to her.

If I wasn't so soft hearted,
she'd still be alive.

Now's your chance, Mel.

Go on.

This what you're looking for?

You're here to judge me.

Came all this way to judge me.

Go on.

Go on.

Go on...

[Hard thump]

[Moaning]

[Dripping]

[Mel groans]

Is this what you want from me?

Is this what you want from me?

Is this what you want from me?

Is this what you want?

[Indistinct mumbling]

[Thump]
[Mel grunts]

Take it off.

All of it.

And spread it.

[TV] Whilst he wasn't
mentioned by name,

this does address the public
pressure on Mark Shepard.

The Premier said

that he will be expedited back
to Maximum Security

without parole.

What do you have to say
about the news today?

Monique's young soul won't rest

as long as this man
draws breath.

However, we are grateful that
he will be properly confined.

Just fuck off.

[Voices and laughter]

[Country music playing]

[Woman]
I always put 'em before myself,

and they use me for it.

I must like it,

'else why do I do that
if I don't like it?

[Bell rings]

Last drinks!

[Phone rings]

I'm rooted anyway.

Wanna come home and I'll make
you something to eat?

[Phone keeps ringing]

[Inaudible]

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

I'm at the Rooster.

It's a pub in Corio.

You're not doing yourself
any favors by staying quiet.

If you don't tell me anything,
I can't help you.

Look, if you're honest
I can talk to the board

about expediting your parole.

What about Warren?

Never mind Warren,
he's not your friend.

Take it from me.

People like Warren only go down
and they take you with them.

[Screaming]
[Indistinct loudspeaker]

[Footsteps approaching]

[Blowing]

[Guard] And stop.

[Colleen] Well there
goes your parole.

You can sleep it off
in 'Holding'.

Is the kid okay?

He's fine, apart from
some misplaced loyalty to you.

What's that supposed to mean?

I sat with him a few hours ago
and offered

to expedite his parole
and he turned me down.

"What about Warren?"

[Warren] What about protection?

[Colleen]
Where's the threat?

Shepard's in observation.

Then he'll be transferred.

I'm the threat.

I'm gonna fucking kill
the little prick.

You know, before I came here
I did 15 years in childcare.

You reckon there's
any fucking difference?

[Chattering]

[Chattering]

[Mark] Nice of them to put
this little visitors area here.

Yeah. Like a zoo.

[Mark] It's alright.

It's definitely bigger
than the one I'm going back to.

Cozy.

I gotta tell you,

that was some really good work
you done on that tool of yours.

It's fucking sharp.

I suppose you got another one
on you?

You getting out of here
anytime soon?

Oh, I had my day release
yesterday.

How'd that go?

Yeah, great.

[Mark laughing]

How about it, eh?

One more service for the boys?

They'd never let me now.

They might.

What if they did?
Would you do it?

Yeah, but I'd need
my musical accompaniment.

Music's important.

I need that, you know.

You accepted what He's got
in store for you yet?

Or are you still bashing
your head against the wall?

Well maybe that's
what he's got in store.

What about you?

I don't think I much
wanna be around here anymore.

Well,

there's always hope, eh?

Yeah, thanks for the tea, mate.

[Thumping]
[Warren] Let me out!

[Door opens]

[Chatter and music]

Shepard's doing
one more service.

And I need you to be there.

I don't want to have to do this
anymore.

You know, when you get older,

you sort of see that things
only play out one way.

You know, being in here
getting to look back.

Maybe how you could have
done things different, you know?

You know, if this or that.

Like thinking you can replay
a tape...

And a different song comes on.

You'll be there.

[Spiritual music]

If you look right at a thing,

it's inapprehendable.

The more you try.

Oh, there's something bigger.

So big.

If you can't submit to it, it'll
flatten you like a pancake.

What does he want from me?

I've been asking that a lot.

[Man in audience]
Not to rape and kill, yeah?

Let he who is without sin
cast the first stone.

[Gentle music]

He who is without sin.

Step forward.

[Dramatic music]

[Mark screams]

[Chatter and screaming]

[Warren] It's okay.

It's okay! It's okay, mate!

It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

[Dramatic music continues]

It's okay, mate.

[Alarm blaring]
[Dramatic music continues]

[Mel]
I don't know what happened.

It's just a blur.

[Male Detective] Why do you
want to protect him?

Who?

He's already
taken responsibility.

He swiped the glue
from maintenance.

Set fire to Shepard
as a reprisal.

And then when you tried
to intervene, he stabbed you.

[Female Detective] You
don't have to worry.

You'll be transferred
to protection.

Now, would you like
to amend your statement?

I need to remind you that lying

to a police officer is a
federal offence.

[TV] ...slaying of child rapist
and murderer Mark Shepard.

Shepard was 13 years old when
he was sentenced...

[Mel] Dear Jason.

I don't know why
some of us are like this.

Why we do these things to
ourselves and everyone else.

[TV] After 17 years...

- I was watching that!
- Get outta my face, Steve!

[Indistinct chatter]

[Solemn music]

[Mel] I don't think
staying in here

is going to help
me anymore.

I wish I could pay,
for what I'd done,

and the way I am.

But it's inapprehendable.

The more you try.

I know it wasn't an accident.
What I did.

There were lots of choices.

And I'm sorry.

[Mel]
I worked hard to be better.

To be a better person.

I think I've gotten to the
bottom of Mel Matthew Blight.

I can say for sure,

you will find a well rounded
member of the community,

in me going forward.

A credit to the sterling system
of prison reform.

So help me God.

[Parole Judge] In making
its determination,

the authority notes
the review council

advise the release
to parole is appropriate.

I am satisfied that
the release of this offender

is in the interest of
the safety of the community.

[Tractor rumbles]
[Sprinklers spraying]

[Chopping]

[Indistinct chatter]
[Knocking, door opens]

Can you hear me?

Yeah.

You okay?

Yeah.

[Mel rustling with paper]

Who am I?

Nice!

[Warren laughs]

Yeah.

Wanna do another one?

Yeah.

Well, you hold one up
and I'll read it.

All right.

- Yeah, okay.
- Hang on.

Is that upside down?

Can you see that?

I need new glasses.

[Dramatic music drowns out
Warren reading]

[Dramatic music continues]
