Stupid f***ing

Stepped up, done right by her.

Who you going to

be more vexed with?

I expect that.

You know what I mean? But the boy...

Nah, I ain't touching her.

Come on.

MAN:

Hurry UP-

Ow!

You f***ing looking at?

He made a mistake, Des.

Des.

A mistake.

(SCREAMING)

Out.

If I go, he's f***ed.

(PANTING)

My responsibility to you

as a non-operational member of staff,

Mr. Baumer,

is to get you away

from this incident.

And if you don't comply

this second you can surrender your keys.

No!

I'm going to

ask you to please let go of Officer...

Johnson.

Johnson.

No!

He hurts me, Don.

He's f***ing gotta...

Oi!

We can do this.

It's okay.

Yeah?

(SCREAMING)

Stay back. Stay back.

I've seen all of you,

I'm a witness.

It's fine.

You all right?

Okay, come on.

(BUZZER RINGING)

Give your name

and number in here.

Love. C-9-4-8-7-W-B.

This way. Foxtrot, Sierra,

Quebec, fourteen. Come in, over?

- Cuffs, please.

- MAN:
(ON RADIO) Quebec fourteen, sir.

Request Governor Cardew

to segregation. Over.

MAN:
(ON RADIO)

Received, Quebec fourteen.

OLIVER:
Fourteen out.

MAN:
(ON RADIO) Foxtrot Sierra

standing by.

Thank you.

(LAUGHING)

Everything's under

control, Christine.

There's been an incident

involving Mr. Love

which has placed

him at extremely high degree of risk,

which is why I brought it to

your immediate attention.

I propose that

he begins treatment

for his violence as soon as possible,

in my... In my group.

He's assaulted

two of my officers

shortly after knocking

another victim unconscious.

You will not be rewarding him

with any kind of group.

- He wants to engage.

- He's a control problem.

OLIVER:
He can be reached.

CARDEW:
Gentlemen, I think

you'd better come with me.

CARDEW:
So, who is he?

Eric Love.

He's starred up, ma'am.

Nineteen.

Transferred from

Durham YO this morning.

And you were aware of this?

It came to my attention, yes.

I realize I'm new in post

but you didn't think

to tell me about a young offender

transferred two years premature?

It was on my agenda.

You mentioned risk.

What risk?

Staff.

Sorry?

The Governor wants to see you.

(CARDEW SIGHS)

If you comply with the regime,

I'm prepared to offer you

a place back on the wing.

And a special kind of therapy

with Mr. Baumer,

with whom you co-operated upstairs.

But one more incident of any kind

that comes to my attention,

you'll be straight back down here.

Just one problem.

And you're going to

tell me what that is?

I'm just saying.

Say this therapy goes well

and it changes my life

and I rehabilitate.

And then you lay it on for the next geezer

and it works for him, and the next.

And everything's sweet, yeah?

Crime rates start to come

down, police have got less people to nick.

Courts got less

people to convict.

Pretty soon,

you're out of a job.

Do you mind?

I said do you mind,

you f***ing...

Right. Get...

Oh, what a f***ing p*ssy.

- CARDEW:
Oh, just take him back.
