Jonah From Tonga (2014) s01e05 Episode Script

1 Jonah: Mr.
Joseph was acting weird for the inspectors Ah, fuck, Sir.
Listen, dickhead, I'm gonna hit you so fucking hard you won't be able to shit for a month, you hear me? but I made him act normal again.
( boys laughing ) Fuck off, Sir.
Oh, fuck.
Sharpest shit out, ay.
Jonah: George from "The Soldierz" gave us a machete 'cause we were really brave George: All right, get up, get up.
Go, go, go.
( tires screech, horn honks ) Sorry, car.
and we did something really bad that got us into a lot of trouble.
We ended up in juvie.
All jewelry off, into the trays.
Jonah: The Fobba-liscious boys went home.
Hey, Jonah.
Boys, boys-- Fuck off, I'm saying goodbye to him.
Jonah: Fobba-liscious, boys! But me and Moses had to stay in We save space anyway.
Hey, what's going on in here? We're not sharing cells.
Out.
until Moses got sent home, too.
Moses! Moses: I don't want to go! I don't want him to go, Miss.
Fuck off me! Jonah: Now I have to stay in juvie for a whole six weeks by myself.
Why did the boy eat the poo? 'Cause he thought it was a chocolate bar.
Night, mate.
Sorry for calling you a fat bitch.
And a ranga.
( theme music playing ) ( clicks, thuds ) ( monkey chattering ) ( reggae music playing ) Oh, I think that I found Myself a cheerleader She is always right there when I need her Oh, I think that I found myself Kris: Well, Jonah's been on our minds and in our prayers for weeks.
We all miss him very much.
He is going to sit in front of the parole committee this Friday.
So fingers crossed he gets released.
I've been liaising with his legal aid lawyer, and the situation is that if he gets done for armed robbery he'll stay in there for a minimum of nine months.
So we're really hoping they're lenient.
We have "Feel Da Beat" in the next couple weeks and the other boys really want Jonah there, and he's an important part of the team.
Um, and being in there, it's not easy.
Jonah acts tough, but he's way too fragile to survive in there.
Oh, bullshit.
He can handle it.
Well, we want him out, and that's the point.
So we're all praying.
Joseph: Oh, I wouldn't exactly say that I've missed him.
I've certainly noticed he's not there.
It's a lot quieter around the place without him, and, you know, there's a lot less headaches.
His little crew miss him.
In fact, they're just down right bored shitless without him.
Hey, Sir, Jonah wants to ask you a question.
Joseph: Catholic Education have been on my back about closing down Lazarus house.
The paperwork I've got to do to prove it's value-- fuck me.
It doesn't exactly help with one of your pupils in juvie.
Sir.
( boys protesting ) Joseph: My head's definitely on the block.
( sighs ) Jonah? Well yeah I suppose I do miss the prick a bit.
Must be terrible being locked up in there.
( hip hop music playing ) I can't imagine he's having too much fun.
That's right 2Koo's in the building Go get your cameras out Yeah, man, 'cause we look good You feel me? Take a picture, I'm looking good Take a picture, what's up? Take a picture, I'm too cool Jonah: Yeah, I love juvie.
It's mean as.
The food's good, the boys are good, there's lots of fun things to do.
These are my main boys.
This is my crew inside and we're called "Juve-liscious.
" Boys, show them the "J.
" This is our symbol.
It's a "J" for "Juve-liscious.
" All: Juve-liscious.
Jonah: These boys-- we're good at dancing, good at singing.
All: I'm your island boy I'll kill a horse for you And we could eat it together Pretty young girl, I want to touch your boobies Island girl, let me touch your boobies Jonah: Everyone respects us, except for the Abos.
You're not even black, bruz, so why even act like it? ( scoffs ) Your dick's not black.
( Juve-liscious laughing ) Jarrod: Yeah, you reckon? How about you show me and the boys how to crack open a coconut? Why don't you boys go marry yourselves? ( Juve-liscious laughing ) Why don't you go commit suicide to yourself? Because your mom wants to lick my balls.
She told me when she came to visit.
( laughing ) So if I kill myself, she can't lick 'em.
Jonah: The main Abo that I hate is Jarrod.
Jarrod's a cockhead.
We always have arguments.
And the other boy I don't like is Louis.
He's this big, fat Fob.
And he's scary as and he's got no sense of humor.
Hey, Jonah, how's Kylie going? Don't know.
How's your dick going? Fuck up.
You better cover that fucked up face of yours tonight.
I'm gonna stab you in between the eyes, you dumb fuck.
Sorry, Louis.
I've made up my own secret code language.
So you add a "ch" in front of words.
No one knows what you're saying and you get away with it.
You know what, Jonah? This is you-- ( giggling ) Chuck chou, you big chunt.
( boys laughing ) Why don't you go chill yourchelf? Why don't all you chaborigines chiss off? ( laughing ) This is the uniform that we all have to wear, but you can pimp it up with your own style if you want to.
And so this is what I do to look skux as.
I roll this shin up, I do high socks like this, I pull my straps over as far as you can so you get this, and then I tie my hoodie over and I tie a little knot in the middle here.
And when you want to work out where the middle is, you work out where your nipples are.
In between that exactly is the middle.
Take this shit off.
Jonah's voice: Some of the younger boys, they want to look like me, they see me walking round, so I offer my service to make them look like me.
So I show them how to get the natural swag that I have.
All: Juve-liscious! My cell is a double cell.
I've got bunks and I share with this boy called Kevin.
Chuck this in the laundry.
I hate Kevin.
He's annoying as.
He's so boring.
He's, like, really fat, and he wears glasses, and he farts during the night.
Kevin, you didn't make my bed.
Come down.
I can't be fucked doing it.
Hey, Kevin, stand up.
I just wanna tell you something.
What? ( groans ) Get up.
And do you know what? He's so fat, that I'm scared he's gonna collapse on me one night, so sometimes I wake up terrified.
If you fart during the night, I'll punch you in the dick.
Do you hear me? Yes.
( boys chattering ) Jonah: I've got "Feel Da Beat" area heats coming up so I've been practicing my dance moves in the yard and getting ready for when I get out.
Jarrod: Hey, what's that for? None of your business.
Well, you tell me or I'll just tell the guards about your tagging.
Simple.
"Feel Da Beat" area heats, next week with my boys when I get out.
Jarrod: You ain't getting out, bruz.
You're in here for a while.
I can tell just by looking at you.
Why don't you chuck choff? Seriously.
Jarrod: What the fuck does that mean? Chust chuck choff, chaborigines.
Go chuck yourselves.
All right, gardening duty, guys.
Let's move it.
( boys clamoring ) Jonah: Oh, Miss! Miss, pick me, please.
Pick us boys, Miss.
Miss, please.
God, please.
( clamoring ) Guys, shh, shh.
Only looking for people on their best behavior.
Please pick us, Miss! I love you, Miss! I love you, Miss! I'm not choosing anybody until everybody's quiet.
Jonah: We love you, Miss.
Miss.
Shh.
Please, God, Miss.
Jarrod and the guys.
( cheers and groans ) Fuck you, Miss! You always pick the Abos.
We don't call them that, do we? Indigenous.
And after the way you behaved this morning, you're lucky I'm speaking to you at all.
I didn't do anything.
You called me a fat ranga and you know I don't appreciate it.
Well, you sort of are one, Miss.
That is rude.
Sorry, Miss.
Go and marry your face, Miss.
I want to watch TV with you tonight.
Only if you pull your head in.
Just watch TV with me.
I always ask you and you never do it.
We'll see.
Thanks for not picking me, Miss.
Therese's voice: Jonah's settled in extremely well.
A little bit too well, actually.
He's very comfortable.
Hey, Miss.
Miss, I've got a stiffy.
I do, Miss.
I've got a stiffy.
No, I don't, it's just a bottle.
Oh, come on, somebody's going to drink out of that.
Yeah, me.
I don't even care.
It's my dick.
Yeah, it is a problem that we do face here, is that the boys become so accustomed to life in here.
And unfortunately they find it easier to live in here than they do on the outside.
Therese: Oh, guys, who's been graffiting on the furniture? Don't know, Miss.
Haven't seen that one before.
Well, it's not on.
Pens do not come out of the learning center.
I am not happy.
There's some pretty naughty boys here, Miss.
You got a tough job.
Therese's voice: Jonah's a nice enough kid.
Actually, it's really hard to imagine that he could get into so much trouble on the outside.
What is the capital of Australia? Phone: I don't understand.
Fucking thing.
What is the capital of Australia? Phone: I don't know what that means.
Fuck.
It doesn't work.
It's cause of your accent.
Look.
It's fucking racist, Miss.
What is the capital of Australia? Phone: Canberra.
That's gay as, Miss.
Your phone's racist.
Jonah's voice: Therese is cool.
She's my favorite guard here.
Some of them are shit.
But Therese, she likes talking to me and she laughs at me.
Yeah.
She's the best.
Need new shampoo.
Boy: Yeah, same here.
Jonah! Jonah's voice: And she's one of my best friends in the whole jail.
Jonah: Hey, Miss.
Guess what I'm touching right now? I'm ju-- I'm only joking, Miss.
I wasn't even touching it.
( sighs ) You're revolting.
Miss, could you shampoo my balls for me? ( boys laughing ) I'm only joking.
I just want you to put the shampoo on my balls and then I'll sham-- I'll rub it in.
You don't have to.
Come on, Miss.
No.
Come on.
You know you want to.
Therese is good because she's got the same name as my mom-- Theresa.
So that's why I like her the most.
All right, guys.
Start getting yourself organized for bed, please.
Hey, Miss.
Miss, give me this.
No.
Just give me it.
Miss.
Check this out, Miss.
Eww.
Miss, you like my earring? Oh, guys, don't forget tomorrow is Father's Day.
Make sure you get plenty of rest.
Boy: Look at Jonah, look at Jonah.
Ohh Oh, don't.
( boys laughing ) Miss, take it off.
I'm not taking that off.
No.
Please.
Please.
You give it to me.
Put it on my bum.
( laughing ) All right, go in your room.
You're annoying me.
Good night.
Good night, gentlemen.
Guys, I said bed.
Now, please.
I love you, Miss! I'm gonna dream about you! ( clatters ) Therese: Here you go.
Jonah: Good night, Miss.
Jonah's voice: Bedtime's awesome because Miss let's me tell stories through the hatch.
Boys, story time.
And then the dog that had the face of the Indian kid started growling because-- it was growling of happiness, because it saw the lady's big boobs.
And it started drooling 'cause it wanted to suck them.
Shut up, Fob.
Shit story.
Chut chup chourchelf, Charrod.
I just make stories up, but Miss reckons that I could be a good author, or write books or stories one day as a job.
'Cause my stories are so good.
That's when the boy chopped his dick off, because he got so hungry he wanted to use it as bait to catch a shark.
But he forgot to put a fishing line on it, so he just chucked it in the ocean and a shark ate it.
And then he bled to death and died.
The end.
Jonah's voice: After story time, I get to tell my bedtime jokes.
That's everyone's favorite bit.
What did the prison cell say to the door? Boys: What? Fuck off.
( laughing ) What did the dick say to the shit? All: What? Why haven't you got balls? Jonah's voice: Juvie's boring as, and it's pretty shit, but you can make it fun if you try.
Why did the boy eat the tampon? All: Why? 'Cause he thought it was a lolly.
( laughing ) ( reggae music playing ) Uh, boys, your dads are here.
So I want you to come and find your dad.
Have a chat and show him around the yard a little.
What are you doing? Nothing.
Here for this shit.
I'm supposed to show you around, so This is the yard.
Therese: Father's Day is really important.
Because it gives the boys the opportunity to let their dads see their world inside the center.
It's a really important bonding experience, because a lot of the times the fathers actually can't make it to the visiting hours.
So having this designated father-son time is very, very important.
Oh, see them over there? That's the Abos.
They're homos.
Oh, Dad, see this? That's my tag.
You're not supposed to do it.
See, that's pussy and cat.
So it's pussycat.
What? Don't fucking hit me.
You fucking little shit.
I'm showing you shit.
I'm supposed to show you stuff.
I will show you a hiding in a minute on your asshole.
What's wrong with you? What's wrong with your dick? This is my cell.
Sink, toilet, beds, notice board, laundry.
All the shit that you need.
Who's that? Oh, that's my roommate, Kevin.
Hey, Kevin, where's your dad? In jail.
Oh.
Hm.
Therese: Jonah is loving having his dad, Rocky, here.
And drawers.
He seems like the typical Tongan father.
They seem to have a really good relationship.
This is your Father's Day present.
What is it? It's a drawing that I did of us.
That's you and me.
And see that gun, there? That's a cap gun.
It's not a real gun.
So that's a joke.
That's why I'm smiling.
You fucking little shit.
You're never gonna get a job doing that kind of shit.
I don't want a job.
And you ain't gonna get to university.
What's wrong with you? I don't want to go to university.
Your dick wants to go to university.
Don't you talk to me like that! Don't fucking touch me.
Hey, whoa, whoa whoa.
Hey, hey, hey.
Don't push-- don't push me What's going on here? I gave him his present and he pushed me, Sir.
Well, what kind of present is that? He's got a gun on his father's head.
I'll tell you what.
If this is what he-- Jonah You teach him how to-- It's Father's Day today.
This is what he's doing in here? Give him a hug.

Ryan: Boys, take your blindfolds and put 'em on your dads.
Jonah: Is that tight enough? Can you see? Ryan: Once they're on Be careful.
How many fingers am I holding up? give dad a bit of a spin around.
Jonah: Spin, spin.
You have to do it, it's Father's Day.
Sucked in.
Get 'em nice and dizzy.
Right.
Jonah: Dizzy enough? Ryan: Now, finding your own spot, guide dad with commands like one step forward, turn to the right.
Keep in mind that this is an exercise in trust.
Okay, two steps forward.
Two steps in front.
Ryan: So he's going to rely on you guys to be his eyes.
Now turn to your left.
Left, idiot.
Learn English.
Now, take one step backwards.
And step.
Two steps backwards.
And now forwards four steps.
Ready, forward-- two, three, four.
Hey, Dad, when are you gonna take me back to Tonga to get my Takalua tattoo finished? ( scoffs ) When you're a real man.
You're not a man.
You're in jail, you're just a little shit.
You gotta prove yourself once you're out.
Then I'll decide when you are a real man.
Whatever.
Take on step forward.
Turn to the right.
And, Dad, see-- Uh, eight steps forward.
And just go really fast.
There's nothing in front of you.
I don't want to.
Go, eight steps forward.
Do it, Dad, do it.
Go, eight steps forward.
Go fast, Dad, go.
One, two-- ( thuds ) Fuck! ( Jonah giggles ) Come here, you little fucking shit.
It's Father's Day.
I love you, I love you.
Don't hit me.
Don't hit me.
Ryan: Hey, hey, hey, Jonah.
Jonah, no running, mate.
Mr.
Takalua? Mr.
Takalua? Rocky: Come here! You're in trouble.
It's a long journey.
Mr.
Takalua, It's a long journey.
It's a long journey, Dad.
We need to relax, and we need to be calm and patient with him.
Can we just try to do this again? Let's just try, Dad.
Please trust each other.
Come on, try.
( upbeat music playing ) Jonah: You.
They said it was gonna be someone good.
Ha ha ha.
Very funny.
No, I'm serious, Sir.
I thought it was gonna be like a hot chick or something.
Look, I've got a surprise for you, a special guest.
Sir.
What the fuck am I doing here? What the fuck, Sir? What are you doing here? Well, I thought I'd come and see if you'd learnt your fucking lesson, eh? See what all this prison crap's about.
Fuck off, Sir.
Seems pretty fucking cushy to me so far.
It's not cushy.
There's bullies everywhere, Sir.
Oh, that's interesting coming from "Mr.
Schoolyard fucking Bully.
" Fuck off.
I think they call that karma and I'm loving that shit.
Why don't you go commit suicide to your face, Sir? Yeah, right-o, mate.
Yeah, good.
Have a seat.
So, Jonah parole hearing tomorrow, fingers crossed, eh? I spoke to your family and they all want to come out to pick you up, so that's exciting.
Cool.
You do understand that if they look at your behavior report and your previous criminal record and decide to be harder on you, you could do nine to 12 months.
I know, Sir.
It's fucked up.
Yeah, you're a fucking idiot for doing what you did, mate.
You know that, don't you? You'll get no sympathy from me.
Shut up, Sir.
Give me sympathy.
( mockingly ) "Shut up, Sir.
Give me sympathy.
" Fuck up.
You sound like a homo.
Oh, that's interesting, isn't it? I was trying to sound like you.
Fuck up, Sir.
Kris: Look, Jonah, we really need to get you out.
Okay? We've got "Feel Da Beat" next week and all the boys are counting on you being there.
I've been practicing in the yard, all the moves.
I know what I'm doing.
That's good.
Yeah, I'm ready for it.
That's awesome.
Well, we'll be saying a lot of prayers for you.
Well, you know what, Sir? I know because I've got my tattoo that it's gonna protect me.
And because when I was little my mom said that I was magical, so nothing bad can ever happen to me.
So it's gonna be okay.
That's the way.
Keep up that positive attitude, okay? We all love and we care about you.
And we just want you back with us, all right? Are you crying, Sir? No.
Sir this might sound like a weird question, but are you in love with me? No, mate.
I just care about you.
We all do.
It seems like you're in love with me sometimes, and just want to say that if you are, then you should get counseling, 'cause it's not gonna work out between us.
I don't love you in that way, mate.
I promise.
Sir, you're too Jesus-y.
It's messing with your head.
Come here, mate.
Give me a hug.
I'm only hugging top half.
We're not touching bottom halves.
Well, I don't want to touch your bottom half.
Thanks for coming.
Righto.
Give me a hug, too.
No, there's no hugging.
Just give me a hug.
Just one hug.
I don't do hugs.
Will you piss off? He gave me a hug.
You gotta give me a hug.
Just piss off.
I don't do the hug thing.
I love you.
Oh, yeah, good.
Just give me a hug.
( grunting ) Fuck off.
(laughs) ( groans ) Fuck.
You fucking nut tap me again I'll snap your neck.
And I'm not fucking kidding.
Right, you two, knock it off.
Enough.
Enough.
Enough.
Down.
He's okay.
You all right? Fuck.
That's it? Yeah, that's it.
Right, out.
Just give me a handshake.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, good.
A little hug.
Get out.
Jonah: See you, Sir.
See you, Jonah.
( reggae music playing ) ( laughter, chattering ) Hey, Miss.
Miss, come watch TV with me.
I've saved you a seat.
Fuck off.
That's for Miss.
Fucking cunt.
Jarrod: Boys, no, stay right there.
Wherever youse want.
Fucking staring at me, you coconut muncher? Go finger your own mom.
Actually don't.
I already did.
Miss, he just punched me.
I am busy, Jonah.
You don't look busy.
You're just talking shit to her.
Shut the fuck up, Takalua.
I'm trying-- You-- Get the fuck off me, faggot.
Jonah: Don't put your hands in my fucking face.
You have a guard crush on Miss Cooper, by the way.
A fucking bad one.
You and your little poofter tattoo.
I don't have a guard crush.
Your dick has a guard crush.
You have a guard crush, brother.
Don't deny it.
I don't have a fucking guard crush.
( scoffs ) I just want her to sit next to me.
You're fucking it up.
Miss? Miss, please sit next to me.
Fucking cunt.
Jarrod: Bye-bye.
Boy: Bye-bye.
Hey, Miss, why are you ignoring me? I have to spread myself around.
It's not all about you, you know.
Miss, give me your hair-- Now, look, can you bugger off? Just go find something to do.
Play a game or something, Games are for homos.
( soft music playing ) Miss, I'm tired.
Off.
How are you feeling about your hearing tomorrow? Whatever.
Well you might be getting to go home.
That's pretty good news, isn't it? Or I might be staying here for 12 months.
Well, I hope that you get to go home.
Are you looking forward to going home? Seeing your friends? No.
Home's gay.
Surely it'd have to be more gay in here, wouldn't it? ( sniffs ) No, it's good in here, Miss.
It's got good food and everyone's nice.
I like it here.
What about your tattoo? You wanted to go back to Tonga and get that finished.
You can't do that in here.
I'll just do it in 12 months when I get out.
Doesn't matter.
What about if your mum was still alive? What do you reckon Theresa would say? Theresa would probably want me to stay in here.
No, I think she'd want you to go home and be free and happy.
Nah.
Miss, you're cool.
Well, look, I hope that you do get to go home, because I'm getting transferred next week and then I wouldn't be able to see you, anymore.
That'd be pretty sucky, wouldn't it? What's "transferred" mean? Well, it's a work transfer.
It means I won't be working here anymore.
I'm gonna be at a facility closer to home.
I don't want you to go.
It'll be all right.
You're gonna be back home with your family-- ( crying ) I think you should stay here, Miss.
I don't think you should go anywhere.
Look, how about you go back and sit-- Don't leave, Miss.
Mate I don't want you to go bye.
Come and sit down with the boys.
Come on.
You fucking bitch.
No, you're-- If you go, you're a fucking bitch.
Hey, just pull your head in.
You're a fucking bitch.
No, you're getting silly now.
Settle down.
You're getting silly, 'cause you're a fucking bitch.
Sit down with the boys, now.
Hey, Jonah, enough! Why don't you piss off? No, you need to settle down! I fucking told you.
I don't want you to fucking go! Therese: Oh, fuck.
( clamoring ) Get off me! Get the fuck off me! Get the fuck off me! Fuck off! ( overlapping shouting ) Fuck off! Kris: Well, we've made the drive out to Garingal Juvenile Center expecting to bring Jonah back today.
Um, but the news that we've got has left us all very disappointed.
You didn't get my email? Uh, no, I didn't.
Kris's voice: He's got himself into some serious trouble-- into a fight-- and now he's in isolation and we can't even visit him.
We'll let you know.
The parole committee have cancelled the hearing.
Thank you very much.
I don't imagine they'd look too favorably on an inmate causing fights and damaging property, so he may have stuffed himself up a bit.
Jarrod: Hey, Fob.
Hey, Fobby.
Coconut Muncher! Kylie lover! Oi, tell me a joke.
Oh, fuck you then.
Kris: But we're all praying hard, and we hope to get Jonah back.
He doesn't need to be in there.
He needs to be at home with his family, who love and care for him, and all of us back at school.
( soft guitar playing ) Takalua Family: Close your eyes Give me your hand, darling Do you feel my heart beating? Do you understand? Hey, Takalua, is that your family? Yeah, that's my family! That's my Dad and my Aunty Grace.
And my bros.
And the fat one's my sister.
Moses! Moses! I can hear you! Meant to be I'm up here! ( banging ) Dad! Aunty Grace! I'm up here! I can hear you! Moses! You Fobs never shut up.
Dad! I can hear you! Aunty! Mary! Fatty! I'm up here! I want to get out for lots of reasons.
I miss Mr.
Joseph.
Today's my last day.
Moses needs me to look after him.
Oi, Pooses.
You're a bitch.
Jonah: Fuck you.
I got "Feel Da Beat" coming up I feel sad I feel pain When you call me that name and I miss my boys.
Do you reckon he's really gonna get out today? Nah, I think Jonah's gonna stay in.
Boys! The door's opening.
Boys: Jonah! Jonah! ( theme music playing )
