Thinking about Visiting Hours (1982) still and its feminist themes and how it’s a little sad and ironic that like 90% of the posts I could find for it on tumblr were just thirst gifset of the actor who played the misogynistic serial killer who likes to kill women just for having jobs, and there was not a single post dedicated to either of the two female protagonists :’o) like hm. hmm

S1e4 Visiting Hours Pt.2

What is taking so long – Lamb, entering Standish’s bedroom uninvited.

Get out of my bedroom – Standish, angrily from her bed, still somewhat vulnerable from the flood of memories that have just rushed back to her.

What, you think I want to catch you in your underwear? – Lamb, mockingly.

But also – you’re the one making the conversation about underwear here buddy!!

 I imagine you’d like that. Almost as much as I’d like to see you in your nylon Y-fronts. – Standish

She’s busy putting her earrings on and returning his level of snark.

He’s still in the doorway, watching her, throws her purse down onto a chair.

Come on. NOW! – Lamb

Standish is seen hurrying out of the bedroom to the apartment door.

Lamb is eager to smoke with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, shifting his weight, ready to be on the move again.  Standish appears ready to join him but pauses to ask…

What was Taverner talking about? – Standish

She’s screwing with your head.  Look, you could leave with me now or with less friendly people later. It’s up to you. – Lamb

Standish resigns to follow his commands.  Is seen grabbing her coat and scarf, purse and phone.

No, leave the phone – Lamb.

She does.

They’re seen leaving her apartment, she turns off the light and locks the door.

Standish and Lamb are in the elevator, going down from her apartment, down to the lobby.  She is taking her hair out of her coat and thinks aloud… it’s River, isn’t it? Has he gone off the rails, and now we’re paying the price? – Standish

Well, not a million miles off – Lamb, he pauses

Baker’s been hurt, Moody’s dead. There’s probably a C&C out on all of us, Fuckers – Lamb

How badly hurt is Sid? – Standish asks

Not as badly hurt as Moody’s dead. Did you catch that bit? – eyebrows raised a bit, as Lamb tries to make her feel bad, again, probably just for his own amusement.

Jed Moody was always going to end badly, but I like Sid. – Standish

Jackson gives her a lingering look; the elevator dings and he steps out first.  He looks in both directions and then steps behind her as she walks out of the building.

Standish opens the door for Lamb.

He steps out first, but again falls in step behind her as they walk out, he lights his cigarette.

Standish adjusts her purse across her body and Lamb puts his lighter into his pocket.

As they turn the corner and hear vehicle doors, you can see that Lamb moves his hand towards the small of her back. They are standing while Duffy and Webb approach.

Now Lamb goes to stand in front and Standish falls behind, looking away, looking down, avoiding eye contact and trying to remain invisible as Lamb threatens to break wrists. When Duffy slowly approaches Lamb to frisk him, the camera is on Standish and we see her with tight fists, blinking slowly and swallowing nervously as Webb approaches her.

Webb, you can drive. Ms. Standish you’re up front. Lamb, you’re in the back with me. – Duffy

Jackson nods while smoking and we see Standish, frozen in her spot until Lamb looks at her and begins to walk towards the car.  Silently, she shuffles into place behind him.

Lamb sneezes!! Lamb is in the backseat talking to Duffy about Lady Di and how she thinks she can get away with it.  Standish is in the front, we see her listening to Lamb’s version of how things will turn out, when Lamb sneezes again.  We see her make a face of concern, but she says nothing. 

 Is no one gonna say “Bless you”?... No?... bit rude – Lamb

Lamb goes on about how this is all a set up by Lady Di to Duffy.  Sneezes again! 

Oh, Jesus! You keep a cat in here or what? – Lamb

Standish, you got a tissue in that bag? – Lamb

Standish unzips her purse, slips a hand in and recognizes that he’s left his gun in her purse…

I’ve only got one left – Standish

Give us it here then. – Lamb, said to Standish, as he looks at Duffy to see if he’s caught on

I have a question I want answered first. – Standish, face looks determined, she’s got him at a disadvantage and tries to take advantage of the situation

Oh for, - - what now? – Lamb sighs, nearly rolling his eyes, he’s looking at her in annoyance / disbelief maybe…  that she would discuss THAT topic at THIS particular moment.

The question pertains to something that was raised in a voice mail that I received tonight. – Standish looks and sounds quite insistent which earns direct eye contact from Lamb, before he casually lets out an amused sigh while looking out the window

I’ll tell you later *wiggles his pinky at her* Pinkie promise. – Lamb to Standish.  Standish decides not to push it further.

Tissue – Lamb says again. Standish nods before we see her pull out a gun, cocks it and aims it at Webb.

In the back seat Lamb is seen leaning forward a bit as if to discourage Duffy from trying to touch or interfere with Standish in any way.

Now, we all know I’m not going to shoot you dead, Mr. Webb. But I’ll put a bullet through your foot if I have to… Pull over – Standish speaking to Webb while gesturing with the gun.

In the front seat, Webb looks scared.  In the back seat, Duffy looks at Jackson in disbelief.  Jackson looks first at Webb, then at Standish, where we see the corner of his mouth turn up as he smiles proudly, yet discreetly. (that’s HIS girl)♥

I said pull over. – Standish

Yea all right all right – Webb;  This is your stop boys – Lamb says while jumping from the back seat to the drivers seat.

You two can walk from here if that’s all right. – Lamb, drives off, tires squealing.

Once they’ve driven off, we see Lamb driving, glancing over at Standish, hand on his face. 

You’re full of surprises Standish, you know that? – Jackson is speaking, but we don’t see him.  We see Standish hearing him say this and she says nothing but we see the same discreetly proud smile tugging at the corner of her mouth this time. ♥ (was that a genuine Jackson Lamb compliment!?)

How’d you know my Y-fronts are nylon? – Lamb again brings up underwear out of nowhere lol – but in reference to her mentioning wanting to catch him in his nylon y-fronts earlier in the episode.  We don’t see Lamb when he speaks, the camera is on Standish again. We get this range of micro-expressions going over Saskia Reeves’ face here.  She’s surprised at his compliment, she’s proud of herself, she’s listening attentively to his question, and then slightly annoyed that she knows about the nylon y-fronts because she’s the one who has to buy them for him!?

Because I have to buy them for you – Standish, … here we see Lamb grinning, looking quite proud of himself. Standish looks out the window while sharing this fun fact with Lamb.

Drip-dry. Very efficient. – Lamb

We see both of them in the front seat.  Lamb looks a bit amused.  Standish purses her lips together as if willing to end that particular avenue of conversation. 

Standish holds up the gun and releases the magazine efficiently and easily.

Lamb does a quick double take in her direction looking at her face, is he impressed again?

Standish looks cool and nonchalant.  She’s disabled the weapon. She’s quiet and focused on what’s next.

....... Thanks again for your thoughts and insight!! ♥ I'm so excited for S4!!
