Bad Girls S2E03 : Visiting Time ~ Orange's Review

Visiting Time 會客日

編劇從第三季開始採取另一種策略，大部份的時候，Nikki-Helen的故事比重被大幅縮減，免得其他演員都變成她們倆人的配角，但是到了每一季的開頭或結尾，又利用倆人的故事拿來製造高潮，操作的痕跡非常明顯．還好最後是Happy Ending，要不然十年後的歷史，恐怕不是美名，而是惡名．

拉寇突然失去Helen和Jim Fenner顯得有點沈悶．Nikki的表情正說明一切．(我相信觀眾深有同感)
Dominic：You alright, Nikki? 妳還好嗎，尼琪？
Nikki：No.　不好．
Dominic：I thought you'd be celebrating now Jim Fenner's gone. 我以為妳會很慶幸吉姆費拿離開了．
Nikki：Yeah? Well maybe I'll crack the champagne open later.　是嗎？好吧，我待會開香檳來慶祝．
Dominic： One for you.　有封妳的信．
Nikki：What?　什麼？

Dominic一開場的發信，正讓人意興闌珊，他卻不落痕跡地帶給Nikki喜訊：Helen的來信．

明信片的正面是George Eliot喬治·艾略特的畫像．在103，Helen第一次發現Nikki愛讀書，就是看到她在閱讀喬治·艾略特的作品．明信片的背面是Helen親筆："recognise this? H." 認得出來嗎？H

可能大家都認出來了．至少，Dominic認出來了．

Jim Fenner窩在家裡顯然有段失意的日子，但是講起和Shell的過節，卻是千錯萬錯，都是別人的錯．
Jim：I was set up. Dockley's been chucking herself at me for months.　我是被陷害．姓杜的一直挑逗我好幾個月．
Marilyn：Oh, and you just couldn't resist.　噢，你就是情不自禁．
Jim：I tried, but she just kept on and on at me, day in, day out, innuendo, propositions　我試過啊，但她日以繼夜，又嘲諷又拉攏，向我不斷進攻．
Marilyn：Oh, I understand you couldn't help yourself, could you?　噢，我了解了，你就是抗拒不了，對吧？
Jim： Most men wouldn't last a week inside Larkhall.　絕大部份男人到了拉寇，一個星期就會淪陷．(這是在抬舉Shell，還是在拉Dominic一起下水？

許多男人在外闖禍後，都會以生命共同體回去來脅迫老婆幫他文過飾非：
Marilyn： You'll have to get another bloody job. 你得另外找個糊口的差事．
Jim： Get real, Marilyn. Ex-Prison Officers aren't exactly in great demand, especially when they're being booted out of the service......Look, if you don't help me out of this mess, we're in deep shit. 看清楚，瑪麗蓮，退職獄官並不是那麼受歡迎，更何況是被踢出來的．聽著，如果妳不幫我離開這淌渾水，我們都會有大麻煩．

Jim Fenner所謂的大麻煩就是家中經濟斷援．很多女人為了維持現有的生活，常放任先生以家計為由行變相勒索．他最胡扯的一招，居然是要他太太寫信給Shell，以咒罵的口吻，讓Shell誤以為Jim為了她而離開元配．

Jim: Look, she's gonna believe it if it comes from you and, if she believes it, maybe she'll do something about it. 如果是妳寫給她，她可能會相信；如果她信以為真，她可能會回應．
Marilyn: Well, she's not going to drop the charges, not after what you did to her. 喂，在你那樣對待她之後，她不會撤銷告訴．

最後出乎意料之外！這倆個女人還真是互相陷害對方，反而是罪魁禍首逍遙自在．

Simon急著找Karen來填補Helen的職位．Simon席間犯了職場大忌，背後批評離職員工．
Simon: Perhaps now that certain personalities have gone, things should quieten down a little on the wing. 或許某個角色離開，獄中就能恢復一點平靜．
Karen: You mean Jim..?　你是指吉姆....？ (說得好！)
Simon: Well, actually, I was referring to Helen Stewart. 其實，我是指海倫司徒．
Karen: Oh.... Can I ask, er, why Helen resigned? 噢，請問海倫為何辭職？
Simon: You know how should we put it. Man-management problems, usual thing. She never really got the support she needed from those below her, but I know you won't have that problem.　我該怎麼說，人事的管理，老問題．她從沒有得到背後團隊的支持，但我想妳應該沒問題． (Simon指的Man-management，恐怕不是單指字面的人事的管理，還有點暗指管不住男性員工的意味．)

因為Jim Fenner被停職，另外從H區調來新幫手Di Barker．人事一波震動，Simon緊接著進來宣佈由Karen接手Helen的職位．Bodybag的醋酸味，完全寫在她那張不自然扭曲的臉上．沒多久，Karen主持她第一場會議，開場便是下馬威：

"Now, I know this has come as a bit of a surprise to some of you, but I'm not going to make any apologies. I've been appointed to the job, and it's the job I want to do, and I'm going to do. Now, I'm not someone who's soft on inmates, but I will not tolerate lazy, negative officers, either. Oh, and one other thing, if you've got a problem tell me to my face, ok?
我知道這個消息對某些人有點意外，但我不打算道歉．我是被指派，但我對這份工作有企圖心，我準備施展所長．我不是那種會對犯人寬容的人，我也不會容忍懶惰負面的獄官(看了Bodybag一眼)．還有一點，如果你有意見，當面對我講，好嗎？"

Karen的一席話，真是豪氣干雲，確實展現她是絕佳接替人選．但，怎麼也沒想到，她後來竟和Jim Fenner在一起....

Bodybag覺得職場上受氣，便去探望老黟伴Jim Fenner．他要求Bodybag幫他捎信，Bodybag本來還猶豫一下，可是Fenner馬上祭出她仇視Karen的心理："Can you imagine what Betts would do if she saw me walk back on that wing, hmm? 妳能想像貝莉(Karen)看到我復職回去會怎麼樣，嗯？"

Shell收到信，看到她太太怨她："You'll be glad to know that Jim has now left me. He says he feels nothing for me anymore, and he says the only woman he cares about is you. 吉姆離開我，妳樂了吧．他說他對我已沒有感情，他說他只在意妳．" 這種鬼話沒幾個人會相信，問題是Shell竟然中了計，更大的問題是：Marilyn竟願寫出這種內容！

接著Bodybag幫Jim Fenner偷偷捎信．他的親筆函進一步迷惑了Shell，雖然Denny旁觀者清，試圖勸阻她，不過Shell已準備否定自已的說詞，接受Fenner的復合．我通常不太在意Shell的對話，不過這段翻供，真是歎為觀止，還在Karen背後刺一刀．
Shell: I made a pass at him. More than once as a matter of fact, and he didn't wanna know. I hated him.　是我引誘他．且還不止一次，但他不想．我恨他．
Karen: I'm sorry this is ridiculous.　對不起，這真是胡扯．
Shell: It's true!　是真的！
Simon: Carry on Michelle.　繼續說，蜜雪兒．
Shell: Anyway, he came to see me, to tell me it had to stop. I was so angr I just lost it. I lashed out at him, really went for him, and he threw me off. That's how I got the bruises..... I'm really sorry, Sir.　總之，他來找我，告訴我要住手．我氣得失去理智．我猛打他，全力打他，他把我摔開．我才因此瘀青.....我真的很對不起，長官．
Karen: Why the sudden guilt trip ,Shell?　怎麼突然良心發現，雪兒？
Shell: It ain't sudden, I've been worrying about it for ages. 不是突然產生的，我擔心很久了．

Karen: So, what made you decide to come in here and tell the truth?　什麼原因使妳決定來這裡說出實情？
Shell: Well, I wouldn't have lied in the first place, if you hadn't.....如果不是妳曾...我不會一開始就說謊？
Karen: If I hadn't what?!　我曾做什麼？！
Shell: Well, it was you who put the idea into me head, asking me if it was an officer who done it, telling me how to report it.　是妳讓我有那種想法，問我是否是獄官做的，還告訴我如何報告．
Karen: I didn't tell you to lie!　我沒叫妳說謊!

Karen原本堅持要調查，但Simon趁Shell翻供撤了Jim Fenner的案子．第一次能扳倒他的機會，就這麼因為Shell放手而棄．

相較於Nikki偶而成為領導者，Yvonne是個天性入世的大姐頭，常常主動幫忙，不過，有時是熱心過頭．她看到報紙上Eddie Dawson的喪禮，馬上問出原來Julie高茱前夫Andy的老爸就是報載上身亡的角頭老大．Yvonne推論，Andy會帶Martin,Rhiannon二個小孩回英國參加喪禮，就可以順便探視高茱，可是高茱道出更悲慘的故事：她前夫申請法令禁止生母和小孩會面，連通信都不允許，根本不知小孩長什麼樣子．

高茱心情低落，剛好對上心情不佳的Bodybag．高茱無心擦地，Bodybag催促她，結果腳步不穩滑了一下，高茱低聲咒罵，卻被Bodybag聽到，二個人情緒越來越激動，最後竟槓上．高茱的下場是被關起來等待處罰．

Yvonne實在看不下去，決定出面做點事情．
Yvonne: Listen, you tell her that I fixed it for her, for her kids to visit her next week.　妳告訴她，我會安排她的小孩下週來探望．
矮茱: You what?　You ain't, How'd you manage that? 什麼？不會吧，妳怎麼辦到？
Yvonne: My Charlie's gonna sort it.　我的查理會搞定．
矮茱: Oh, Yvonne, you're a doll!'Ere, Nik, Nik, you hear this, Yvonne's fixed it to have Julie's kids brung in!　哦，伊芳，妳真棒！(轉向Nikki) 嗯，尼，尼，妳聽聽，伊芳要安排高茱的小孩進來．(Nikki終於第二次露臉，好像跑龍套的角色)
Yvonne: Oi, don't go broadcasting it! My Lauren's taking a risk here. 喂，別嚷嚷！我的羅倫正在冒風險．
Nikki： What's it got to do with your Lauren? 這事和妳的羅倫有何干係？
Yvonne: She's fetching them in.　她會帶他們來．
Nikki： How's she gonna do that, then stick a couple of sacks over their heads and sling them in the boot of a car? 她要怎麼辦，把麻袋套在他們頭上，塞在車後行李箱？
Yvonne: No.　不是．
矮茱: No, but, Yvonne, how is she gonna bring them in? 不，可是伊芳，她如何把他們帶來？
Yvonne: Julie has to send Lauren a Visiting Order. Then, when they go to the funeral, she goes over to Martin and Rhiannon, and asks them if they wanna visit their mum.　高茱可對羅倫提出探訪申請．他們去喪禮時，她會去找馬丁及瑞娜，問他們要不要來看媽媽．
Nikki： And what if they don't want to?　如果他們不想來呢？
Yvonne: Well, if they don't want to visit their mum, I can't wave a magic wand, can I?　如果他們不想來見自己的母親，我也無法可施，對吧？
矮茱: Yeah, but no trouble, eh, I don't want Ju getting upset.　別麻煩了，我不想讓高茱難過．
Yvonne: Listen, I'm trying to do your pal a favour there. You wanna forget it, you just say the word. 聽著，我只是想妳們個忙．妳們不想，就說一聲吧．(唉，熱臉貼冷屁股）

矮茱後來還是說服高茱，用Lauren的名義來申請探視．會客當天，高茱和子女相見，一開始還順利，可是快到結尾，Bodybag的酷吏作風讓整件事走了味．
Bodybag: Who are those two children sitting with Julie Johnston? 和高茱坐在一起的那二個，是誰家的小孩?
Dominic：Dunno. 不曉得
Bodybag: Well, they're not her children surely. I know, for a fact, she's barred from seeing them, by a court order.　那不該是她的子女．就我所知，法令是禁止她與小孩見面．
高茱: I'm so sorry, but I'll make it up to ya, I promise I will! 我對不起你們，但我會補償的，我發誓一定會！
Bodybag: Excuse me do you mind telling me who these children are.　請告訴我這是那家的小孩．
高茱: This is a private conversation!　這是私人談話！
Bodybag: Are they yours?　是妳的嗎？
Martin: Yes, we are.　沒錯．
Bodybag: I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave.　對不堯，我得請你們離開．
Yvonne: Leave them alone, you fat cow!　放他們一馬，妳這母豬！(我不想再翻成母牛，母豬比較像我們罵人的用詞)
高茱: Please, let them stay till the end, Mrs Hollamby! 拜託，讓我們講完，何女士！
Lauren: Leave it, will you, what harm's it doing?　放一馬，好嗎，沒什麼大礙嘛！
Bodybag: They've no right to be here in the first place, it's in breach of a court order, come on, up. 他們根本不能進來，這是法令．快點，站起來．
Martin: Mum!　媽！
高茱: Visit's nearly up, they'll be gone in a few minutes!　會面時間快結束了，他們就差幾分鐘要走了！
Bodybag: Can I have some assistance over here, please? ..... And you, stay put. 幾個人過來幫我一下?......妳，放手．
高茱: No, wait, I want to say goodbye to them properly!　不，等等，我想好好地向他們道別！
Bodybag: Hurry along! Move it! Come on!　快點！拉走！快！
高茱: I want to say goodbye to them properly please don't take them away again.　我想好好地向他們道別，求你別再帶走他們．(獄官硬生生地把高茱架走．)

Shell撤銷告訴，Simon把Jim Fenner召回準備復職，Karen原本堅持Fenner應該轉調，但是他清楚，在老地盤才有影響力．Karen就像Helen一樣，很難克服Simon-Jim這一關．他沒多久便一一「拜訪」老友，第一位是Nikki．
Jim： Hello, Nikki. 嗨，尼琪．
Nikii： How the hell d' you wangle your way back in? 你天殺地幹嘛要逃回來？
Jim： Did you miss me? 妳有沒有想我啊？
Nikii： Oh, I get it. There's been a cover-up. I might've known.　哦，我懂了．這叫障眼法，我應該早猜到．
Jim： Shut it, Wade. You're not teacher's pet anymore, now your little Miss Stewart's gone. So, you'd better keep that nice and clean, mm? 閉嘴，姓魏的，自從妳的司徒小姐走了，妳不再是班上的金童．妳最好別惹事生非，嗯？

一群人聚在一起，憤慨地看著G區再度陷入黑暗．
Nikki： He's an evil bastard. 他是邪惡的混蛋
Yvonne: Yeah what with him, and what with Hollamby 呀，他是啊，姓何的也是
矮茱: Oh, she did it out of spite, no other reason.　噢，她就是想刁難，沒別的原因．
Zandra: Fat slag!　人渣！
Yvonne: Did you see the smile on her face? She loved every minute of it.　看到她臉上的笑容嗎？她可真
矮茱: Evil, she is. Bleeding evil.　她是壞蛋．該死的壞蛋

Nikki： Yeah, and now that Fenner's back, they're untouchable, the lot of them.　現在費拿回來了，他們更是囂張，很多人那付德行．
Yvonne: Oh, I dunno about that. There are ways and means to get back at them.　噢，我不這麼想．還有很多報復的法子．

壓力越大，反彈便越大．第一次，這班人沒出過大亂子的，決定要集體反制．

Jim Fenner接著和Shell到囚室裡秘談，Jim把不利的證據套出來後，便露出真面目．
Jim:.....Do you really think I'd leave my wife for a little slut like you hmm?　妳真以為，我會為了像妳這樣的婊子而離開我太太？
Shell: You bastard. I'm going straight to the Governor.　你混蛋．我要告到典獄長那兒．
Jim: Oh, yeah what are you gonna tell him, you've changed your mind, again? I don't think he's gonna believe you somehow. In fact, I don't think anyone's gonna believe a single word you ever say again, so you'd better be on your best behaviour, sweetheart!　噢，妳要說什麼，妳改變心意了－－又改了？他不會再信任妳了．其實，沒有人會再相信妳說的任何一個字，所以妳最好安份點，甜心！

Karen看到Jim從Shell囚室出來，心知有異．在沒有證據的情況下，只能淪為放狠話的訓誡罷了．
Karen: I told you not to go into Dockley's room on your own.　我告訴你別單獨進入杜的囚室．
Jim: We just had a chat, that's all. Clear the air. Let her know there's no hard feelings.　我們只是聊一下而己．作個澄清．讓她不要有芥蒂．
Karen: You think you can get away with anything, don't you? I know you hit Dockley and somehow, I don't know how, you got to her.　你以為可以全身而退，是嗎？我知道你打了杜，而且，我不知你怎麼辦到，她就是著了你的道．
Jim: I hope you're prepared to put your theory to the test, or else my union....我希望妳能證實妳的理論，要不然我復職....
Karen: If I were you, I'd consider applying for a transfer. 如果我是你，我會考慮轉調．
Jim: Would you, now? 是嗎，現在？
Karen: I don't want you on my wing, I don't trust you!　我不要你留在這裡，我不信任你！
Jim: Well, that's a shame, cause I'm staying put.　不好意思，因為我打算留下來．
Karen: In that case, you'd better hang on tight, you're in for a rough ride. 若是如此，你的皮最好繃緊一點，不會讓你好過．

雙茱在梯上塗抹打磨著滑溜的蠟，像是張羅細密的陷阱．每一個圍觀的眼睛，像雷射光束，Bodybag早已成為標靶而不自知．她上梯時滑了一下．
Nikki： Careful! You alright?　小心點！妳站得穩嗎？(Nikki拉了一下，但好意到此為止)
Bodybag: I'm alright, course I'm perfectly alright! 我沒事，我站得很穩！
Crystal: Floor a bit wet, is it, Miss? 地板有點濕滑，是吧，長官？
Bodybag: No, I'm perfectly alright!　才不呢，我站得很穩！
Zandra: Nearly went arse over bollocks there, Miss! 差點要趺得屁股朝天了，長官！(這是文雅版，我還真不知道該如何翻譯這句粗話．)
Bodybag: That's enough of that....真是夠了....
