(PRISONERS HISSING AND MEOWING)
-What is going on?
Back in your cells!
-FEMALE GUARD: Hey, cut it out.
-You know what that bitch did.
-GUARD: Back in your cell.
-PRISONER: (IN THE BACKGROUND)
We're coming for you, Fyfle!
-FEMALE GUARD: Alright, alright, settle down.
-PRISONER: (IN THE
BACKGROUND) Watch your back, bitch!
-PRISONER TWO: (IN THE
BACKGROUND) You can't hide, Fyfle!
-(CRYING)
(GROANING)
(GROANING IN THE BACKGROUND)
Please help me.
Meghan.
Meghan, I can't get up. Please help.
It's too soon.
Meghan, please, I'm only 32 weeks.
Help me.
(PRISON BUZZER GOING OFF)
I'm so scared.
It's too soon.
-Help is coming.
-What happened to her?
-She's in labour.
Call an ambulance.
-Clinic. Now.
Come on, Fyfle.
-(GROANING)
-Back to your cell, Shaughnessy.
Get ready for your bail hearing.
-AGATHA: (CRYING)
(PRISON BUZZER)
(GATES UNLOCK)
(PRISON BUZZER)
-You have to make the contractions stop.
It's too soon.
-The ambulance is on its
way. It'll be here any minute.
-To make you more comfortable,
we're going to lie you on your side,
but first we've got to get
you out of these wet clothes.
Get her some clean pyjamas.
-Go.
-Come on.
-I can't lose her.
-Come on, we're going to get you dry.
Come on, let's go.
-Fyfle's in labour.
(SIRENS WAILING)
We're going to block off the driveway,
'cause they're coming. (PHONE RINGING)
Hi, it's Karen.
Yeah, my contact's just let me know.
It's happening now.
Get your cameras here. OK.
-(CRYING)
-She can't go.
There's protesters blocking the
ambulance bay at the hospital.
-Those contractions are
stronger and closer together.
We need to get her to a hospital.
-Why aren't we going? Please.
-It's our safety protocol.
-I understand the protocol issues.
But if they don't leave now,
she's going to be giving
birth here in the prison!
-(WAILING)
-TERENCE: (VIA PHONE) She's gone into labour.
The paramedics can't transport her.
Right now I've got a baby
about to be born in my prison
and I need a decision on whether
or not to give the mother access.
-I don't know.
That's my answer.
I was meant to review this
case in four weeks' time.
I can't do it in four minutes.
-(VIA PHONE) Tell me what to do
because I've got her lawyer on the phone 24/7
and I'm lost here.
-Look, once the baby's
born, get her out of prison,
get them both to hospital,
then it's not all on Corrections.
-TERENCE: (VIA PHONE) And how are they going
to get through the protest?
-I'll call the Health Minister. I'll
get back to you with an update.
-And I'll update you if the birth
doesn't have a positive outcome.
-(GROANS)
-Just breathe, just breathe.
That's it.
This baby is coming.
-Cash.
Who's Lorelei Kelly?
-I got a call last night from one of the uniforms
investigating an attempted prison escape.
I think it's what we've been looking for.
-What you've been looking for.
If this turns out to be a
factor, this changes everything.
-And?
-Doesn't look very good.
-Says the guy standing at my desk,
sipping hot chocolate milk, like a toddler.
Go.
Yes, hello, it's Detective
Senior Sergeant Rachel Cash.
I have a few questions for Doctor Hocking.
-MAN: (VIA PHONE) I'm sorry,
she's with a patient right now.
I can take a message for you.
-DR HOCKING: What's in the letter from Agatha?
-It's an apology for throwing
me under the bus with the police.
-How does it make you feel?
-Like laughing.
She betrayed me and she thinks
saying, "Sorry," is going to fix it.
But all that stuff in her old letters
about wanting me, her daughter, was lies.
-Well, it's often hard for a
mother and a child to bond
when there's been a
traumatic separation at birth.
-But I felt bonded.
Like I'd finally found my real mother.
-If she'd allowed you to help
her escape from the hospital,
you'd be in a lot more trouble now.
Perhaps by refusing to go,
she was trying to help you too.
-No!
She chose the baby over me.
And then she told the police what I did.
She sold me out so she could keep her baby.
She didn't care about losing me.
I want to go home.
-The police agreed not to charge you
only because you're in psychiatric care.
You can't go home until we've
got you stabilised on meds
and treatment is well underway.
Perhaps, before our next session,
you can think about answering Agatha's letter.
-(GROANS)
-Agatha, I know she's
premature, but you need to push.
-She won't be alive. I don't want to.
-She's coming anyway.
You need to push to get her out
so we can get you both to the hospital.
Come on, next contraction you need to try.
Come on, hold my hand.
Come on! Go!
-(WAILING).
-NURSE KIANA: Good, good,
good, keep pushing, keep pushing!
Keep pushing!
(GROWING FAINT) Come on,
next contraction you need to try.
Come on, hold my hand. Come on!
-AGATHA: (GROANS)
-NURSE KIANA: Good!
Right, keep pushing, keep pushing.
-AGATHA: (GROANS)
-NURSE KIANA: Yes!
OK, she's here. She's here.
You did it. You did it.
-AGATHA: (GROANS) Show me.
-NURSE KIANA: She's alive. It's OK.
-AGATHA: (GROANS)
-NURSE KIANA: It's OK. It's OK.
-Show me. Show me!
-She's OK.
-(GROANS)
-She just has to clear her airways.
-(GROANS)
-Have some water.
It's OK, it's OK, it's OK. (BABY
CRYING IN THE BACKGROUND)
She's coming.
-Give her to me. Show me.
-She's coming. She's here.
-Give her to me.
-Put her across your
chest. Hold her to your skin.
Hold her tight.
That's it.
-(CRIES)
She's so small.
(CROWD PROTESTING)
-Agatha Fyfle kills babies.
(VIA LAPTOP) Because of
her, we don't have our baby.
She doesn't get to keep hers. That's not justice!
She's in labour right now (KNOCK ON THE DOOR)
..and she gets to have her
baby in a public funded hospital
and then she gets to keep
it in a public funded jail.
I mean, give me a
-They can't take her to a different hospital.
-Why not?
-Baby's not doing well.
They've left the prison,
but it's another 20 minutes to
the nearest neo-natal care unit.
It's too long.
(SIRENS WAILING)
-We want justice! (VEHICLE HORN HOOTING)
(BABY CRYING AND BANGING SOUND ON VEHICLE)
-We're nearly there.
We're safe now.
(VEHICLE HORN HOOTING)
-You are obstructing an emergency vehicle,
which is unlawful.
You have no right to be here.
-Agatha Fyfle has no right to be here.
(CHANTING) No right! No right! No right!
Please! Move aside and let the ambulance through.
There is a very sick baby in there.
-(CROWD CHANTING) No right!
No right! No right! No right! No right!
(MUFFLED CHANTING) No right! No right!
-She's stopped moving.
You need to get her inside.
-Our instructions are not to open the doors
until we're in the bay.
-No right! What are we going to do?
We're not going to let her through!
What are we going to do? (SIRENS WAILING)
-Please don't leave me. Please.
-(MUFFLED) What are we going to do?
I'm not gonna go anywhere!
What are we gonna do?
-WOMAN: We have a right to
be here! (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(CHANTING AND INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Get away from her.
(PRISON BUZZER) (GATES UNLOCK)
-Thank you for picking me up.
Thank you for posting bail.
-Are you aware of the terms of your release?
-How are the kids?
-They're fine. You'll see them on Saturday.
(ENGINE REVVING)
(MACHINES SOFTLY BEEPING)
-(SIGHS)
-The baby's under observation for now.
In the meantime, there's someone here to see you.
-They've taken her away.
I need to see her. I need to be with her.
-You need your rest, too, Aggy.
-I can't rest until I know she's OK.
-Can you escort her to the
baby? If the medical staff agree?
-Not possible.
-Don't be ridiculous.
Why isn't it possible?
-We have no authorisation from the Governor
for the prisoner to have contact with the baby.
-(CRIES)
-Shh, shh, shh, Aggy.
-No.
(SNIFFLES)
(CRIES)
-(SOUND OF PUKING)
(GROANS)
I want Mummy.
-I know, sweetie.
We can't take you anywhere
if you're this sick, though.
-Why can't she come here?
-(SIGHS)
She can't yet, but
-(PUKES)
-I promise you that we'll go
see her as soon as we can, OK?
-Lachie's finally asleep.
-Alright, can you stay here?
I'm going to go check on Ben.
-(SIGHS)
(PHONE DIALLING)
(PHONE VIBRATING)
-Hey, Jen.
Look, all the kids are down with it now,
so tomorrow's not going to work.
(VIA PHONE) Jen?
-If my kids are sick, they need to be with me.
-Meghan, you need to get off the phone
-MEGHAN: (VIA PHONE) I'm calling Grace but
-Tell Jen to call.
-MEGHAN: (VIA PHONE) Simon, you and I need to
-(SIGHS)
-Did you have to?
-Well, she's breaking the law.
-Is that my phone?
Give it to me. Give it to me.
You called Grace?
-Simon answered.
He wouldn't speak to me.
-Oh, well he's right not to.
-But I have things that I need to say to him.
-Isn't that part of the bail thing?
-What?
-If you talk to them, Dad
could lose 500,000 bucks.
-Oh, my god, this
This is not about your fucking inheritance!
-Hey, hey, hey.
-Listen, we know what
happened to Jack was an accident
and we are here to support you,
but you must take responsibility
for the situation that you're in.
-All I want is to be with my kids, OK?
-It's time to go.
-How is she?
-She'll be in the humidicrib
for at least four weeks.
-Can I see her? Can I feed her?
-They'll bring you a pump for your milk,
but you can't be with the baby
until an official ruling's been made.
-(SIGHS)
-CHARLOTTE: That's so cruel.
-The baby coming early
threw a spanner in the works,
but I've asked them to expedite the evaluation.
-You need to do something.
I need to be with her.
-I'm on their backs.
-(SCOFFS)
(TEARS UP)
-(CRIES)
-Why are we interviewing a new witness
in the Shaughnessy case,
when we've got a committal hearing date?
-She's got three young kids, no priors.
I got a call about a potential witness, so I
-A witness who's scheduled
in a psychiatric clinic.
-If the defence digs it up,
we're going to look pretty foolish.
-LORELEI: (VIA PHONE) And my whole life,
I've felt abandoned and rejected.
Why wasn't I good enough?
Was there something wrong with me?
Why wasn't I good enough?
Was there something wrong with me?
I've been thinking a bit about my father.
When I first started visiting him,
I was just curious.
But I was totally on my mother's side.
-What'd you think you would get out of that?
-Something for my podcast, maybe.
But I guess I also wanted to just see him
without him knowing who I was, you know.
A "What's my father like," thing.
But I didn't give him a chance to get to know me.
-Because it might not be a safe relationship.
Brother Bowler sexually abused your mother.
-No, that's all coming from Agatha.
She said all that stuff about
him, but he wasn't charged.
-So, maybe she's as crazy as they say,
and I should have told them the truth
about who I was from the start.
-Lorelei, I would strongly advise
against pursuing further contact
with your biological father,
at least in the short term.
-He looks forward to seeing me, every time.
His whole face lights up.
And I'm clever, and successful.
And I think he'll be happy
to know I'm his daughter.
What's there to lose?
-I believe you would need to
be prepared for disappointment.
-Trust me, nothing could be
more disappointing than my mother.
-Minister! Minister!
-OK. OK, yeah, I'll catch you inside.
-Yeah look, I've got a meeting to go to, so
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Can I help you?
-Agatha Fyfle should not
be allowed to keep that baby.
-OK, I understand that
and I empathise with your feelings, I really do.
But this is a complex situation.
-But you make the final call.
-I do.
-Fact.
-But I will be guided by
the experts, not by protests.
-You've
-Hey, hey
-How would you feel
-OK, OK.
-How would you feel
-Yes.
-..if she kills that baby.
-How will you feel?
-Can you please takes your hands off me?
Enough. Please.
-Hello, my darlings!
-Hi.
Hello.
-Here, pop inside.
Hey, sweetheart. Come on, inside.
-Hello, Ben. Hello.
-Mummy!
-Mum, get Ben out.
Quick, quick, quick.
-You can't speak to her!
-Grace, please tell Simon not to punish me.
-JEN: You go inside.
-Tell him not to punish me, please.
Tell him
-Meghan, please!
-I would never hurt Jack.
-He knows that!
-Then why isn't he on my side?
-Please, don't Please.
-Reg, Reg, please!
-Grace, just drive. Drive away.
-Reg, please! Grace, would you
-Grace!
-Meghan, please.
Be reasonable.
-(SIGHS)
-If you want to see the children again,
you just have to stick to the rules.
Your mother and I, we
We vouched for you.
-(SIGHS)
OK, OK.
-Do you have the bottle ready yet?
-Yep, right here. Hey?
Come on, dude.
Yeow!
Here you go.
-I feel so bad for Meghan.
-Let me put you right here.
-It was chaotic and I don't
know if I did the right thing.
-Sounds like it was her fault.
-Are you going to support her in court?
-(SIGHS) I'm, ah
I'm gonna tell the truth.
-So, are you testifying against her?
-(SCOFFS)
I can't say what was in her head.
All I can say is what I saw,
and those are the facts that I'm sticking to.
She was angry.
She looked in the rear vision mirror.
And she reversed.
-You know she told Mum that
she wants to work it out with you.
-What's that got to do with this?
-Well, when she gets out,
she's not going to stop you from seeing Ben.
-That's beside the point.
What if she's trying to manipulate me
into not testifying against her?
What's her agenda?
-What's yours?
-What do you expect me to do, Grace?
I can't lie under oath.
I've already given a
statement. They'd pull me apart.
-Well, just don't testify.
That's an option, isn't it?
You can't really believe
that that wasn't an accident.
-(SIGHS)
-Put it this way,
do you really believe that those
kids are better off without her?
Because if you say that it was deliberate,
she is going to jail.
And I don't believe for a second
that she would kill the father
of her children on purpose.
Not for a second.
-CASH: (VIA PHONE) This is Detective Cash.
Please leave a message. (BEEP)
-Detective Cash, it's Simon Beecher.
I'm calling to let you know
I'm no longer willing to testify
at the Committal Hearing.
At Meghan Shaughnessy's Committal Hearing.
I'll call and let the Prosecutor's office know
first thing in the morning.
-Thank you.
-No.
No, it feels
It feels right.
-Because you believe that it was an accident?
-I really don't know that.
That's the truth.
But I know that you're right.
You know, and no matter what,
Jack would not want those
kids growing up without Meghan.
(BABY COOING)
(BABY CRYING)
-She's not thriving.
It's still touch and go.
-I am sorry to hear that.
-I have statistics from all over the world,
supported by the World Health Organisation.
The morality rate for premmie babies
is affected by skin-to-skin
contact with the mothers.
Those babies need contact for their development,
to establish feeding, build brain size.
There's a baby, lying in a hospital right now,
just metres away from the very person it needs
to save its life.
And your red tape is preventing it.
-It's not that simple, is it?
Your client committed infanticide.
How do we know she won't do it again?
This is a woman who's spent
her whole life traumatised
by falling pregnant through rape,
then getting the baby
removed without her consent.
That trauma periodically
triggered temporary psychoses,
in which she took someone
else's baby to replace hers.
Yes, two babies tragically died,
but Agatha didn't intentionally kill them.
They died because they were
separated from their mothers.
While you may want to punish Agatha more
than just taking her freedom away,
I'm begging you to think
of the child's rights here.
Her right to be with her mother.
-Once Agatha Fyfle has
been discharged from hospital,
I can't take her back to Beauwater.
-Based on what?
-(VIA PHONE) Based on what?
Without the baby, she's a suicide risk.
And I can't guarantee her
safety around the other women.
We found insulin injected into her milk.
(VIA PHONE) Protection's already over-populated
so look, she's going to have
to be transferred either way.
-So, what are my options, Terry?
If I sanction her to keep it and the baby dies,
then I'll be wearing my ovaries for earrings.
If I don't then I'm going to have
to find a new way to sleep at night.
(SOUND OF KIDS PLAYING)
-TERENCE (VIA PHONE) Then
her transfer's your best option.
-Bye.
-I've gotta go. I'll get back to you.
-Mum!
-Hello, my little treasures, how are you?
(KISSES) Did you have a good day?
(KISSES) (INAUDIBLE) Yeah?
In the car, get in the car.
I'll be in there in a minute.
-Subpoena.
If you don't testify, you'll
be in contempt of court.
-JACK: (MUFFLED) Hey, stop!
(CAR HORN HOOTING) Stop!
(ENGINE REVVING) Hey.
Jack!
(INDISTINCT YELLING)
-PROSECUTOR: Did Jack give you money?
-Jack had given me money
to compensate for my loss of business.
And when she heard that, she
She thought he was keeping me.
-PROSECUTOR: What were her exact words?
-She said she'd kill Jack
if she found out he'd been lying to her.
-Did you not tell others
that your sister pushed you down the stairs?
-I did say that in anger
-Thank you.
That will be all.
-CASH: Meghan Shaughnessy's
behaviour was erratic.
-So, based on the evidence,
and eyewitness statements,
Mrs Shaughnessy ran over and
killed her husband in a jealous rage?
-Yes.
There was enough intent to prove it was murder.
-Did the accused give you an explanation
as to why she still reversed the car
after looking in the rear vision mirror?
-She said there were
headlights shining in her eyes.
-And did your investigations show any evidence
to support her statement?
-None at all.
-PROSECUTOR: Thank you very
much for coming in today, Doctor.
You are the forensic specialist
who conducted the autopsy?
-The forensic expert, yeah.
When I examined the body, it was clear to me
that the first impact caused him
to fall backwards onto the road,
fracturing the back of the skull.
Then the vehicle's back
wheels ran over the torso,
causing critical crush
injuries to the internal organs.
The liver was ruptured and
the chest cavity was depressed.
-PROSECUTOR: Did the car stop?
-No. The injuries show that he was then run over
by the front right tyre,
causing trauma to his neck.
The tendons, the carotid artery
and spine were severely damaged.
-So, was there any chance Jack
Shaughnessy could have survived?
-FORENSIC EXPERT: If the vehicle had stopped
after the first impact, perhaps.
But the damage from the front
wheel was inconsistent with life.
-FEMALE REPORTER: Meghan, over here!
-FEMALE REPORTER TWO: Meghan!
-The first day of Meghan
Shaughnessy's Committal Hearing
has ended,
with the main witness, Simon Beecher,
expected to be called to the stand
tomorrow, among other witnesses.
(VIA TELEVISION) The court will resume at 10am,
with the judge expected to
make a ruling by mid-after
-Should you be watching that?
-I've got nothing against her anymore.
Even though she took out that AVO,
I didn't tell the cops anything when they asked.
-What could you have told the cops?
-Well, Meghan caught me putting
the tracker on her car that morning,
so I had to go back that night.
Her car wasn't there.
(SHOUTING IN THE DISTANCE)
And then I saw them
fighting and then he pulled up.
So, I got out of there before he saw me.
(ENGINE REVVING) (CAR HORN HOOTING)
-Well, what
You didn't tell anyone you were a witness?
-I wasn't supposed to be there.
I was breaking my AVO and
I didn't see anything, anyway.
-This isn't working.
-What isn't working?
-You and me playing happy
families while all this is going on.
I haven't been home since it all happened.
I think I'm going to stay at
mine until the hearing's over.
-Right.
-It's OK.
I'll take Ben with me.
-You're not splitting the kids up.
-VOICEMAIL MACHINE VOICE:
You have 21 new messages.
First message. (BEEP SOUND)
-WOMAN: (VIA ANSWERING
MACHINE) Simon, it's your sister.
I'm watching the news. What the hell!
Stop ignoring my calls
-VOICEMAIL MACHINE VOICE: Next message.
(PHONE CHIMES)
-BELINDA: (VIA ANSWERING
MACHINE) Hello, this is Belinda Kelly.
Someone left this number with Doctor Hocking,
looking for my daughter, Lorelei Kelly.
Please call me back as soon as possible
on 0-4-9-1-5-7-7-6-4-4.
-WORKMATE: (VIA ANSWERING MACHINE) Hey, Si,
I left a message on your mobile.
Mate, we need you at the studio an hour early
for this footy interview.
Call me back when you can, please. (BEEP SOUND)
-VOICEMAIL MACHINE VOICE: Next message.
-JACK: (VIA ANSWERING MACHINE) Hey, mate,
I hope you're waiting at home.
Look, if you're screening
this, just pick up, Simon.
-Sarge, I've been calling you.
Simon Beecher hasn't shown up.
-There he is.
OK, I need to speak to the Prosecution
-You need to listen to this first.
-OK, come.
-JACK: (VIA ANSWERING MACHINE) Hey, mate,
I hope you're waiting at home.
Look, if you're screening
this, just pick up, Simon.
Alright, look I've spoken to Meg, OK?
We've sorted some things out.
She's calming down, we're in a good place
and I've told her that I'm going to come home.
I just think it's best if you stay away
until we've talked some more
and we can all three sit
down together like adults,
and just figure out a way forward, OK?
I'm sure you and I can
work through this too, mate.
Listen, I'll talk to you later, OK?
Just please stay put for now, OK? (BEEP SOUND)
-I went to the house.
I thought Meghan was angry
at Jack, but they'd spoken.
I thought Jack was running to stop her, but
I think he was running to stop me.
-Well, I think we can all agree
this dismantles the motive.
-Why didn't you bring this forward earlier?
Were you holding it back?
-No. No, I haven't been home
since the accident occurred.
I didn't even think about listening. I'm sorry.
-Well, the evidence surrounding
the incident remains intact.
-Well, I interviewed
another witness this morning.
If this case goes to trial,
there will be new evidence.
Lorelei Kelly had an AVO
that prevented her from coming forward,
but her mother provided us with
information from a tracking device,
which verifies her vehicle
was parked in this position
at the time of the incident.
We haven't done the reconstruction yet
but as she drove away,
it is likely that her headlights
would have been shining
into the defendant's rear vision mirror.
-(CHUCKLES)
(SIGHS)
(DOOR OPENS)
-COURT OFFICER: All rise.
-This court is no longer in recess.
Is the Crown ready to present
the witness, Mr Beecher?
-Your Honour, the Crown is satisfied
that Mr Beecher has sufficient cause
to retract his testimony.
New evidence has emerged overnight,
corroborating Mrs Shaughnessy's statement
that car headlights obscured her vision.
With Your Honour's permission
and, pending further investigation,
the Crown seeks to
withdraw its case at this time.
-COURT OFFICER: All rise.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
-Fantastic.
-(SIGHS)
(SIGHS)
-I'm so sorry, Meghan.
-(CRIES)
I miss him.
I miss him so much.
-Me too.
-(CRIES)
-First case, epic fail.
-Oh, justice isn't failure, Carlos.
Come on, I'll shout you a chocolate
What's it?
-Chocolate chai.
-Chocolate chai.
-Meghan.
Meghan, Meghan.
The Minister is announcing her decision
as part of her press conference today.
There is a chance she's going
to let Agatha keep the baby.
-There's nothing that we can do about that.
-Yeah, yeah. You. You can do something.
You can say something. Use them.
They won't listen to me.
This is your chance.
You've gotta do it now,
otherwise she's gonna win
I can't. I can't live with that anger anymore.
It was poisoning us.
Look, I want to help you, I
really do, but not like that.
I'm sorry.
-Because you got your baby back, and you're done.
Is that it?
-(SIGHS)
(CAMERA SHUTTERING)
-REPORTER: Meghan, any
comment on being acquitted?
-REPORTER TWO: Were you worried at all?
-REPORTER THREE: What are you going to do now?
-Excuse me.
-REPORTER: Do you have a comment?
Are you relieved? (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
-REPORTER TWO: Do you have a comment?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
-REPORTER: What are
your plans for your family now?
-REPORTER TWO: What are your thoughts
on Agatha Fyfle
-And the final point on the agenda.
We have now officially reached a
decision in the Agatha Fyfle case.
While there's been a great deal of controversy
surrounding this case,
advice from the mental health experts
(VIA RADIO) says that
there is no reason to believe
that she is a danger to her baby.
Furthermore, neonatal specialists advise
that removal from the mother's care
will be detrimental to the baby's health.
(DISTORTED) On release from hospital,
Agatha Fyfle will be transported
to the Jalala Correctional Centre,
where there are adequate
facilities for the baby's care.

-Come in. What's happened?
(SHOUTS) David, Doctor Hocking's here!
-Lorelei's left the clinic.
-Left? Wha
I don't understand. How could she just leave?
-It seems she slipped out a side entrance
during a delivery at lunch.
-How?
-There's been no sign of
her for the past four hours,
and we've alerted the police.
-Well
Well, was that necessary?
-I'm concerned about her state of mind.
(KNOCKING ON THE DOOR)
-Who is it?
-(WHISPERS) Hi.
-Ah!
I thought you'd forgotten me.
-Of course not.
-Where have you been so long?
-On a holiday.
-Don't bother with that newspaper.
You can tell me about your holiday.
-I've got something else to tell you.
-Oh?
-Something important.
I'm not a volunteer reader.
I'm Agatha Fyfle's daughter.
She had me when she was a teenager
-Agatha Fyfle?
-And I'm your daughter, too.
You're my father.
-Agatha was a sinner.
-I'm not accusing you of anything.
-She lied.
I had nothing to do with her,
and I'll have nothing to do with you!
Liar!
You sinner!
-I'm your daughter.
I know what you did, but I'm still your daughter.
-Get out!
(SNIFFLES)
Get out!
-But I'm your daughter!
-Get out!
Nurse!
-LORELEI: Someone said you can't
go back and change the beginning.
But you can start where you
are and change the ending.
-Here we go, darlings.
(GRUNTS) There we go.
-LORELEI: Sometimes we try to do what's right,
and wrong happens to us.
Sometimes we do wrong and get rewarded.
Our wounds can be entirely self-inflicted,
or they can be inflicted by others,
whether we are innocent or not.
-(GASPING FOR AIR)
-LORELEI: We can try to heal ourselves
by accepting our fate.
We can try to heal ourselves by never giving in.
(SIRENS WAILING)
Or we hope, against hope,
that our wounds will be healed by others.
But the truth is that every old wound we heal
can begin a new wound for someone else.

-LORELEI: (VIA RECORDING) This is Lorelei Kelly,
and you have been listening
to 'Who Is The Monster'.
-Shh, shh, shh.
-Shhh.
