Clink (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Endgame - full transcript
What are you in for?
Hiding a gun.
Governor Hayes is unable to continue
for the foreseeable future.
Whatever the fall out from this,
from all of it it's on her.
What happened earlier,
it's unacceptable.
But what if I'm not guilty?
My sister died in there, so I need
to speak to your governor now.
We've got to find
this secret filmer.
Or the fort's about to become
a lot more vulnerable.
Do you trust me, Sinead?
I don't know you.
Chloe, you've been assessed
as being unsuitable to take care
of the baby.
We're under investigation,
we need a show of unity.
We've had another OD.
Some dodgy bundle's doing the round.
I want the whole place swept.
You won't find anything.
I'm out.
I'm going to get my parole.
You're going to need to grow eyes
in the back of your head.
Whatever's going on between
you two, I'm tired of it.
They're going to throw my
mum out, unless I win
the lottery on Saturday.
I have Huntingdon's disease.
We're not the same, you and me.
Your sister's dead.
If she ever wants to see the kid
again, she'll do exactly what I say.
Is this where she is?
Marie's been arrested
for the murder of Paul Sheen.
I am never going to see
my daughter again.
I've got nothing left. Nothing.
I want to help Chloe Anderson.
That poor girl's got no-one.
I need something from you.
Stronger the better.
That little sister of mine, the one
you're trying to protect,
she was Roberta's dealer.
Prison system is run by men who hate
change, you scare them.
I think you're getting too involved.
I'm telling to you take a step back.
It's your mum.
She's passed away.
Mr Trent?
Brian.
The undertaker's here, they're close
by, you can go with them, of course.
We can help with arrangements.
I'm so sorry, Brian.
There's never a right time
to talk about this, but...
..usually we allow relatives a four
day window to clear the room.
But as there are already arrears...
We have another resident waiting.
Brian?
Goodbye, mum.
Sorry, everyone.
And I'm sorry for the ungodly hour,
I know some of you are not
on shift until later.
I've been here 12 hours already.
You're not the only one.
We're being inspected.
We're not supposed to know.
So I need everybody
to be on their game, Bridewell needs
to be ready.
Are they looking for
anything in particular?
As far as I know
it's a routine check.
There's no such thing
as a routine check.
Well, in the light of recent
events it's no surprise
we're under the microscope.
But we've done nothing
wrong, you just keep doing
what you're doing and we'll be fine.
We've got nothing to hide.
PHONE: The person you're calling
can't take your call at the moment.
Straight to voice mail again.
Today of all days.
We'll manage until he gets here.
If he gets here.
Sometimes I think Brian does
this on purpose, as if he haven't
got enough to worry about.
Suicide, drugs, a bloody big truck
smashing its way through the gates.
Oh, well, they say variety
is the spice of life.
Baldwin Flowers, prison
inspectorate,
and you must be Governor Darby.
If I'd known you were coming...
Oh, where's the fun in that?
I'll check his house.
Yes, but it was actually
when a student suddenly
threw his algebra text book at my
head that I suddenly realised,
am I cut out for teaching?
It's too dangerous.
So here I am, inspecting
prisons which is far safer.
Although, I have to say,
since I've been in this job I see
more of my former pupils
than ever I did in the classroom.
It's a funny old world, isn't it?
So where would you like to start?
Entirely up to you, although,
might we
be in time for breakfast?
Mm?
MUSIC: Sing You A Lullaby
by Sunshine State
Any joy?
Still can't find him.
God's sake.
Perhaps we should get going,
there's a lot to get
through, and I don't
want to keep you.
You can always tell a lot about a
prison by the state of the grub,
and I've got to say
this is in the top five.
There's a soupcon on of creme
fraiche in there, am I right?
Oh, here's the cavalry.
Senior officer Brian Trent, sir.
Oh, service with a smile.
Now that I like.
You look like a man
who knows his onions.
25 years' service, man and boy.
Enthusiasm and loyalty.
You don't see too much
of that these days.
I bet there's not an inch
of this prison you don't know, am
I right, Officer Trent?
Every nook and cranny, sir.
So what are we waiting for then?
Lead the way, young man.
Lead the way.
Someone's on the happy pills.
PHONE VIBRATES
Christ, it's not even eight o'clock.
I better stay with them,
can I leave this with you?
Very busy morning
by the sounds of it.
New intake.
Either that, or there's another
demolition man on the way to smash
us all to oblivion.
I love this guy.
PHONE: A hopeless place
for hopeless people.
Filth. Deprivation...
What's going on?
What the hell?
Hey, how about we switch this crap
off and get back to work?
Phones on silent,
lock them away, now.
Remember who's in the building.
Hey, hey, hey.
OK, OK, OK. Break it up,
break it up.
VIDEO: These are Bridewell's best
bits from season one, cut together
for your viewing pleasure.
We should be getting repeat fees.
We've been such a hit
we're going global.
So, get ready super fans
cos Bridewell: The Movie
is about to get a worldwide release.
It's one of our most
successful projects - the dorms.
Ah, prison with privileges.
I wouldn't go that far, most
of the inmates have to earn
their places here, it's not a given.
So low risk, non-violent offenders,
I presume. Not always.
It's often the most high risk
who are the most at risk.
This is all about
responsibility, team work.
Integration.
And rehabilitation.
A dirty word for many. Mm.
Many of the girls at Bridewell
will reoffend and end
up back inside,
but that's because they're not
learning how to break the cycle
of self-harm, self sabotage.
But if we teach them how to adapt,
how to communicate, socialise,
if we educate them, they might start
making better choices.
It's an admirable approach,
governor.
Shame it didn't work
for Laura McDermott though.
Well, that is an ongoing inquiry,
there are many factors.
Oh, I'm sure you did all you could.
I know the food's shit
in here, but you need to eat.
You sound like Joyce.
Don't compare me to that
rug-muncher.
You can have this, if you like.
What do you want?
Just checking in on the newbie.
She's fine.
You her agent or something?
Sure she can speak for herself.
She don't want nothing from you.
Just being friendly, aren't I?
Locked up with you all day's
bound to do anyone's nut.
I'm warning you, stay
away from Bambi.
You won't do anything.
You're only just out of seg.
Plus, big sis won't be happy with
you messing with her best worker.
Yeah?
Try me, bitch.
Give it a rest, Sherri.
This is Governor Darby's open door
policy.
Here we go. Please, just tell us
what's going on.
Ladies, please.
I can't talk about Chloe, I'm sorry.
They're like this when
they're sleeping, too.
Come on, Guv, she's our family.
Look, I know you're worried
about her, but I can't discuss it.
Just tell us if she's OK.
She's safe, she's unharmed.
Physically, any way.
If you want to help her then
maybe one or two prayers
wouldn't go amiss.
Dominique Darby, bean counter,
budget cutter, baby stealer.
If your prison needs running
into ground, give her a call.
She's open to offers.
Not your finest moment, governor.
It is an unfortunate
situation, I agree.
But we are very close
to finding the culprit.
No, no, no, I mean there are better
videos, I particularly enjoyed
the one where you appear to threaten
one of the inmates. Excuse me?
Well my son's got them all.
Yeah, he likes to, what's
the praise, binge watch them.
I am so sorry.
No, there's big money in it here,
flogging.
To be fair, you should be
getting a cut.
Altercation on the wing, Guv,
I going to have to catch you up.
OK, sort it quickly,
I'll keep this lot busy.
We need to get to Chloe.
How are we supposed to do that?
Joyce, I'm not getting into trouble.
I can't afford the piss
off the Governor if I want
her to help me with my case.
Why don't you stop thinking
about yourself for a minute?
Why don't you think about that poor
girl on the wing.
I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry.
Mira.
I just want to see her.
I know.
SCREAMING
Move away!
Move away!
Stop it! Stop it!
Get in there, get in there!
Get in there!
You stop that.
Steady, steady.
Where's Adams?
She's putting another one in seg.
Yeah, well I've got this.
So have I!
The Governor needs
another body, now go.
You settle down, what I have told...
Oi!
SHOUTING
Stop. Stop that.
Get out!
Stop it! Ugh!
Right, you. It was an accident
Brian, don't get your knickers
in a twist. Shut your trap, Bateman,
and it's Officer Trent to you.
Not when you're trying
to score, it ain't.
You what?
Nothing.
Don't push your luck.
As long as I keep pushing the gear,
right?
Whoa!
What you doing?
She shouldn't have said that,
why did she say that?
I was only trying to help.
Let me out, I won't say anything.
Shouldn't have wound me up. Doesn't
mean you can slap her across
the face, you fucking psycho.
You shouldn't wind me up!
Push, push, push. That's all you do.
All of you, all of you that's...
BANGING
Oh, shit, shit, shit.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Listen, listen.
None of us are going to say nothing.
Anyone asks, that one's got one
hell of a right hook.
You both saw her hit me.
So no big deal.
Just bitches brawling, innit?
You weren't even here.
All forgotten about.
Hey, out.
When? This morning.
By the way, the girls on McKeown
keep asking after you.
Am I allowed to see them?
Uh, no.
Dame Stella, it's
Sinead Kovac again.
Can you please call me back
as soon as you get this?
We have a situation.
Looking for the Governor.
What's going on?
Another bloody video
all over the internet.
The press have got hold of it.
It won't be long before
they're camped on the doorstep.
Shit. The Inspectors.
Perfect timing, don't you think.
This is not a coincidence.
What can I do?
Make sure we have
the quietest day ever.
Is everything all right on the wing?
Champion.
Our gym.
See, I wouldn't say that drugs are
an epidemic in here, Mr Flowers.
Baldwin, please.
It's just difficult to catch
everything that's coming in.
And how it's coming in.
Because you're understaffed?
Well, yes, of course we are,
but that's not what I meant.
The prisoners and their visitors,
they're becoming ever more creative.
Some of their methods
are really quite ingenious.
Well, you cannot beat a good old
rectal passage,
that's what I say.
I mean I'm all for progress,
you know, necessity is the mother
of invention after all, but
sometimes the old-fashioned methods
are the best, don't you think?
Ow!
It's killing me.
No, no. Ow!
OK?
That's a perfect
realignment, Miss Nelson.
Well done.
You bring her over
to see me later, yeah.
Yes, ma'am.
Hi.
I'm not talking to you,
they're still pissed off with me.
I really thought Chloe
was coming back here.
I'm sorry.
You can do me a favour.
I don't do deals with inmates.
Fine.
But wait.
OK.
What?
Sinead?
It's Alison.
Thought it was Lee.
Sorry to disappoint you.
Have you seen him?
Not to speak to.
You haven't made up, then?
Not yet.
But I'm going to keep trying.
He's my boy, he's all I've got now.
We should be supporting each other,
it's what Laura would want.
How do you know what
Laura would want?
She hated you.
Sorry, I didn't mean that.
I deserved it.
Just like Laura deserved
a better mother than me.
That's why I'm here,
I found out what happened.
How did you hear?
Big world, little town.
What do you want?
Look, I fucked up with my
children, I know that.
It's too late for me to be a mum.
But it's not too late for you.
I'm never going
to see my baby again.
You are.
I'm gonna help you.
Briefs, advice, campaigns,
petitions, whatever it is,
you need to fight this.
I can help you.
Why?
I'm nothing to you.
Because you were...
You are everything to my kids,
and that's enough for me.
And yes, it would make me feel
better, maybe I'm being
a bit selfish.
As plenty will
tell you, that's me.
When you lose a child...
..there's no pain like it
in this world.
Whatever Laura thought of me,
and whatever Lee thinks, those kids
are still a part of me.
They came from me.
Do you understand?
From one mother to another...
..let me help you.
Oh fantastic.
It's OK, I can take her.
She's got a medical.
Oh, actually let me take
you to our training facility.
Yeah, back this way, I apologise.
Sorry, yeah, this way. Back up?
Isn't medical that way?
I know.
I always get lost
when I'm with you.
Funny.
Hurry up.
I could lose my job for this.
Oh, Christ.
Chloe.
Oh, Chloe!
Oh, oh!
All right? Yeah.
Right.
Any comment on The Bridewell
video blog, Governor?
I'm not the Governor, we have no
comment to make at this time.
No-one gets in, you hear me?
SHOUTING
I thought you were
all going to hate me.
Never.
Deserve a medal, hen.
I don't even remember doing it.
Yeah, well that's good.
I mean, that's your
defence, isn't it?
Guilty by reason of
temporary insanity.
Yeah, they tried to get
me to go for that.
Yeah, but your insanity
wasn't temporary, was it?
Don't plead guilty, whatever you do,
and even if they accept that,
you're still going
to jail for a long time.
Or worse, a unit, and any
way, you're not guilty.
But I did it.
I killed him.
Self-defence, though,
you were protecting yourself
and your wean.
Laura wasn't even there.
All right, but what if she had been?
It could be you on
that slab, and Laura.
Times up, you've got to go.
No, no, no, she's only
just got here.
He's right, we don't want
to get him into trouble.
Hey, look, I'm late for work.
Thank you.
It's perfect, Julie.
Hi. Hi.
This is Mrs Tranter,
one of our educators.
Baldwin Flowers,
prison inspectorate.
Oh, pleased to meet you.
Pleased to meet you.
This is Julie.
She's about to get a diploma
in hair and beauty.
It's just one of the many courses
we offer here, not all of them
are so gender binary.
Ah, on the contrary governor,
they say you can tell a lot
about a man by the state
of his hands.
Very true.
If I may be so bold?
Oh, this is Sami Gilani, one
of our best manicurists.
Then I should put my
hands in your hands.
At least half a dozen
press by the gates.
You need to tell them
something, and soon.
Won't they just make it up any way?
We need to get ahead of it.
Let me draft a statement.
PHONE VIBRATING
Oh, Jesus, what now?
Dammit.
A code purple.
Fuck.
I prefer lavender, it's less angry.
I should see to this.
I do hope you haven't staged
all this excitement for our benefit.
I think we should
reschedule your inspection.
Nonsense, no, this is exactly
what we need to see.
My priority is the safety
and security of this prison
and the people in it.
And right now me and mm staff
are needed elsewhere, so I'm sorry
Mr Flowers, but you're leaving.
Now.
I appreciate your
understanding in this.
It's highly irregular, Governor.
Sorry, Gov, I'm just
showing off our Zeus.
Hey, shut up Zeus.
Oh, let me look.
Oh, canine royalty.
Did you hear that, sunshine?
He definitely thinks
he's king round here, eh, Jan?
That's Win, the dog's sitter,
but she sees more of him
than I do just lately.
Mr Flowers?
Hey, you've made another friend
here, going to have to set
up a fan club.
Right, I'd better get off, Win's
the dog sitter, not the dog walker,
that's my job. Eh, Win?
Yeah, I draw the line at picking
up with shit, and with this one
it's filth, deprivation
and chaos, 24/7.
Officer Dolan.
Graham, could you sign
Mr Flowers out, please?
The code purple.
What about it?
We've got a jumper on the roof.
OK. Get the place on lockdown
and get Brian.
That's just it, it is Brian.
We should call
the emergency services.
With this lot here?
What the fuck is he doing?
Whatever point he's trying to make
there's better ways of doing it.
He's not well.
Since when?
Sinead.
I think he's been taking stuff.
What stuff?
You mean drugs?
Prescription at first, then...
And you didn't think to tell me?
No, no, of course
you wouldn't, why would you?
He said he was handling it.
I believed him.
I should have told you.
You think?
OK, look that doesn't matter now,
what matters is getting him
down from there quickly and safely.
Let me talk to him.
No, no, I need you to get this lot
out of here, away from the roof
and away from the press.
Listen, Dominique, I know Brian.
If anyone can talk him down,
it's me.
I am not letting
you up there, Sinead.
It's too dangerous.
I'm the Governor, this is my prison.
This is on me. You're making a
mistake. It's my mistake to make.
Like you did with Alison?
She told me what really happened.
You should have spoken
up from the start.
OK, this is not the time
or the place, Sinead.
Brian is not going to talk to you,
to him you're part of the problem.
Then it's up to me
to change his mind.
You'll make him worse.
Well, as first dates go I am
cautiously optimistic, the question
is will there be a second?
I'm sorry?
I need to complete my report
within 48-hours of first arrival.
That just leaves tomorrow
to finish this inspection.
We'll call you.
That's what they all say.
Shall we?
Mrs Kovac, that car maintenance
course that the governor
told us about.
Did anybody pass it?
Come on, in. Get off.
How can it be a lockdown
if there's no alarm.
Just get inside, will you?
Come on! Probably ran out of
batteries, knowing this place.
Ah, always a bastard when you run
out of batteries, eh, girls?
Some of us don't need...
Stop pissing about, in.
In. All right, all right,
keep your wig on.
What's going on, did they find out
about us seeing Chloe?
Nothing do with that. Come on.
What then?
Nothing, just do as you're told
for once in your life.
No need to be stealthy, Governor.
For one thing, you're crap at it.
What's going on, Brian?
What you doing up here?
Do you hear that?
No.
Well, maybe you're too far away.
I'm not coming over there, Brian.
You come to me and
we can talk properly. Talk?
Talk about what?
About whatever's got
you up here in the first place.
Brian.
Brian?
Brian.
Brian?
25 years I've been in here.
As confined, as restricted,
as forgotten as most of those poor
bastards down there.
Is that how you feel?
Forgotten?
I don't feel anything.
Brian!
All this over a few cheeky videos?
They don't exactly
make us look good.
It's hardly Watergate.
Everything in perspective.
Remember, there are no such things
as problems, only solutions.
And do you have one?
Well at least it gets us
out of work, whatever's going on.
Earth calling Bambi.
No, no way.
Not you, not ever you.
You stupid, stupid cow.
You fucking bitch, Berman!
I'm coming for you, you hear me?
I warned you.
I told you what'd happen, and now
it's going to happen.
And so as head of the prison
inspectorate, I can confirm
that these alleged recordings
are being thoroughly investigated
to ascertain both the origin
and authenticity of the footage.
Now, until the results
of this investigation are known
I would suggest exercising
caution in any reportage.
Now I'm not saying this is another
Loch Ness Monster or abominable
snowman here, but you will have egg
on your face if these vlogs turn out
to be the work of a 12-year-old
Photoshop addict.
But if they are genuine, well,
I better get the series link
for season two!
Janine, what are you doing here?
You're not on shift.
I heard what's going on.
I'm not going.
How can I?
It's Brian.
Whatever's happened Brian,
we can sort it, calmly,
and rationally, and somewhere else.
27 grand a year.
That's what I get for working here.
After a quarter century of service?
63 grand a year.
That's what they wanted to keep
a decent roof over my mum's head.
Now, I always missed maths
at school, but even I know
that that just doesn't add up.
Well, you need money
for your mother?
Maybe we can sort something
out, like a loan.
She's dead.
Gave up waiting for me to get my
head out of my sorry arse.
She was crying for me.
That's what they said.
My strong, proud, invincible mother
crying, while I was fannying
about here, you know, trying
to forget she even existed,
because that was easier.
Not easier for her, though.
No, no.
She was terrified.
Every second of every day.
I was the only one who could
keep her calm, you know.
I couldn't even do that for her.
I'm sure you did the best
you could, Brian. No, I didn't!
Just like I did nothing
for the McDermott girl.
What happened to Laura
was not your fault Brian,
it was no-one's fault.
That's not quite right
though, is it, governor?
She shouldn't have been in McKeown.
Eh? You know that, as well as I do.
Yeah, but it's the system
we need to change, Brian,
and we can do that.
No, we can't.
No-one can.
Because no-one cares
about the Laura McDermotts,
the Sherri Simms, the
Chloe Andersons of this world.
Don't you get it?
No-one cares.
I care, Brian.
Shit.
Mrs Kovac, what's
happening with Brian?
Have you seen that inspector
and his cronies?
They've gone AWOL. Brian...
The Governor's dealing
with that, the Inspectors?
I think they're in the staffroom.
The staffroom?
Ah, here you are.
Your taxi, it's waiting.
Yeah, I think we're going
to stick around for a bit.
There's really no point.
The Governor will be tied
up for quite a while.
Yes, I know she will.
It seems she has some pressing
business on the roof.
What the fuck? Becks?
What is it?
What is it? What is it, I can't see.
Oh, my goodness, look at that.
What's happening?
Fire drill?
Overdose?
Sickly cough.
Suicide!
Screws are 10% more likely to kill
themselves than the inmates
they're in charge of.
Pro rata, of course.
I didn't know you smoked.
There's a lot of things
you don't know about me.
So tell me.
I did the training too,
you know, you know?
Keep them talking, make it personal,
classic distraction technique.
What training?
I don't know what
the hell I'm doing.
What, you think there's a plan here?
There's no plan, Brian,
this is just me and you trying
to figure this shit out,
from one failure to another.
That's what you want
me to say, isn't it?
That you're a failure?
Well I'm fine with that.
Takes one to know one, after all.
You're nothing like me.
You want to talk about fuck ups,
I'll definitely give you a run
for your money.
Come on.
Try me.
Ask me anything.
No?
OK, then.
My sister, Roberta...
..light of my life, a thousand times
smarter
than me, she fell in with the wrong
crowd and I didn't even notice.
She died in a filthy squat
with a needle sticking
out of her arm, and where was I?
Hundreds of miles away, pretending
to be Liza bleeding Doolittle.
Degree, a good job, nice clothes,
a few quid in the bank.
And all the time she was shooting
shit into herself, and I was the
last person she'd think talk to
about it, because I made her feel
so fucking worthless.
Guilt's a bitch.
And this place, look, nobody
takes me seriously, why would they?
I haven't worked my way
through the ranks, I haven't proved
myself, I haven't gained the respect
of one single person in here.
And half of you think I'm a serial
killer, and the other half,
they don't think anything at all.
Every night I am drinking myself
silly, to try and blot out
all of the things I am fucking
up on a daily basis.
Chloe Anderson hates my guts
because her baby got taken away,
and now she's in here on a murder
charge, which arguably would never
have happened if I'd been doing my
job properly, and Laura McDermott
is dead because I didn't read
her file and realise
what with a risk she was to herself.
And I'll probably be in front
of the board because I was stupid
enough to try and bring boxing
into a women's prison, and to top
it all, I am looking after the woman
who, by all accounts,
supplied my sister
on the day she died.
So what do you reckon?
Do we need to swap places?
How long before the emergency
services arrive?
I called them as soon
as I knew what was happening.
Brian, Officer Trent,
he's had a lot going on.
He's a good man,
a great prison officer.
You don't need to plead his case
Mrs Kovac, we're not in court, yet.
SIRENS
You got a spare?
Last one.
Do you want to take that from me as
well? No, no, of course not.
Then just let me enjoy my ciggie.
Fuck it. I can sort this, just step
away from the edge, Brian, that's
all I'm asking. Shut up!
It should be me talking to him.
I told her, she wouldn't listen.
The Governor knows what she's doing,
she's cleverer than you think.
Alison.
What's going on?
We...
We - where's Dominique?
I'm on it.
I'm on it.
Two governors for the price of one.
It's my lucky day.
Oh, well aren't you just
full of surprises.
I give you this, then
you come inside, yeah?
You give me that and
I smoke my ciggie.
Then you come inside.
I'm not bargaining with you.
You sure you don't want to share.
I could really do with one.
Lighter, now!
I can't come any closer, Brian,
you'll have to come to me.
I'm not moving.
OK, OK, OK.
Brian!
Brian! No, Brian! No, no ,no, no!
Ahhh!
Hiding a gun.
Governor Hayes is unable to continue
for the foreseeable future.
Whatever the fall out from this,
from all of it it's on her.
What happened earlier,
it's unacceptable.
But what if I'm not guilty?
My sister died in there, so I need
to speak to your governor now.
We've got to find
this secret filmer.
Or the fort's about to become
a lot more vulnerable.
Do you trust me, Sinead?
I don't know you.
Chloe, you've been assessed
as being unsuitable to take care
of the baby.
We're under investigation,
we need a show of unity.
We've had another OD.
Some dodgy bundle's doing the round.
I want the whole place swept.
You won't find anything.
I'm out.
I'm going to get my parole.
You're going to need to grow eyes
in the back of your head.
Whatever's going on between
you two, I'm tired of it.
They're going to throw my
mum out, unless I win
the lottery on Saturday.
I have Huntingdon's disease.
We're not the same, you and me.
Your sister's dead.
If she ever wants to see the kid
again, she'll do exactly what I say.
Is this where she is?
Marie's been arrested
for the murder of Paul Sheen.
I am never going to see
my daughter again.
I've got nothing left. Nothing.
I want to help Chloe Anderson.
That poor girl's got no-one.
I need something from you.
Stronger the better.
That little sister of mine, the one
you're trying to protect,
she was Roberta's dealer.
Prison system is run by men who hate
change, you scare them.
I think you're getting too involved.
I'm telling to you take a step back.
It's your mum.
She's passed away.
Mr Trent?
Brian.
The undertaker's here, they're close
by, you can go with them, of course.
We can help with arrangements.
I'm so sorry, Brian.
There's never a right time
to talk about this, but...
..usually we allow relatives a four
day window to clear the room.
But as there are already arrears...
We have another resident waiting.
Brian?
Goodbye, mum.
Sorry, everyone.
And I'm sorry for the ungodly hour,
I know some of you are not
on shift until later.
I've been here 12 hours already.
You're not the only one.
We're being inspected.
We're not supposed to know.
So I need everybody
to be on their game, Bridewell needs
to be ready.
Are they looking for
anything in particular?
As far as I know
it's a routine check.
There's no such thing
as a routine check.
Well, in the light of recent
events it's no surprise
we're under the microscope.
But we've done nothing
wrong, you just keep doing
what you're doing and we'll be fine.
We've got nothing to hide.
PHONE: The person you're calling
can't take your call at the moment.
Straight to voice mail again.
Today of all days.
We'll manage until he gets here.
If he gets here.
Sometimes I think Brian does
this on purpose, as if he haven't
got enough to worry about.
Suicide, drugs, a bloody big truck
smashing its way through the gates.
Oh, well, they say variety
is the spice of life.
Baldwin Flowers, prison
inspectorate,
and you must be Governor Darby.
If I'd known you were coming...
Oh, where's the fun in that?
I'll check his house.
Yes, but it was actually
when a student suddenly
threw his algebra text book at my
head that I suddenly realised,
am I cut out for teaching?
It's too dangerous.
So here I am, inspecting
prisons which is far safer.
Although, I have to say,
since I've been in this job I see
more of my former pupils
than ever I did in the classroom.
It's a funny old world, isn't it?
So where would you like to start?
Entirely up to you, although,
might we
be in time for breakfast?
Mm?
MUSIC: Sing You A Lullaby
by Sunshine State
Any joy?
Still can't find him.
God's sake.
Perhaps we should get going,
there's a lot to get
through, and I don't
want to keep you.
You can always tell a lot about a
prison by the state of the grub,
and I've got to say
this is in the top five.
There's a soupcon on of creme
fraiche in there, am I right?
Oh, here's the cavalry.
Senior officer Brian Trent, sir.
Oh, service with a smile.
Now that I like.
You look like a man
who knows his onions.
25 years' service, man and boy.
Enthusiasm and loyalty.
You don't see too much
of that these days.
I bet there's not an inch
of this prison you don't know, am
I right, Officer Trent?
Every nook and cranny, sir.
So what are we waiting for then?
Lead the way, young man.
Lead the way.
Someone's on the happy pills.
PHONE VIBRATES
Christ, it's not even eight o'clock.
I better stay with them,
can I leave this with you?
Very busy morning
by the sounds of it.
New intake.
Either that, or there's another
demolition man on the way to smash
us all to oblivion.
I love this guy.
PHONE: A hopeless place
for hopeless people.
Filth. Deprivation...
What's going on?
What the hell?
Hey, how about we switch this crap
off and get back to work?
Phones on silent,
lock them away, now.
Remember who's in the building.
Hey, hey, hey.
OK, OK, OK. Break it up,
break it up.
VIDEO: These are Bridewell's best
bits from season one, cut together
for your viewing pleasure.
We should be getting repeat fees.
We've been such a hit
we're going global.
So, get ready super fans
cos Bridewell: The Movie
is about to get a worldwide release.
It's one of our most
successful projects - the dorms.
Ah, prison with privileges.
I wouldn't go that far, most
of the inmates have to earn
their places here, it's not a given.
So low risk, non-violent offenders,
I presume. Not always.
It's often the most high risk
who are the most at risk.
This is all about
responsibility, team work.
Integration.
And rehabilitation.
A dirty word for many. Mm.
Many of the girls at Bridewell
will reoffend and end
up back inside,
but that's because they're not
learning how to break the cycle
of self-harm, self sabotage.
But if we teach them how to adapt,
how to communicate, socialise,
if we educate them, they might start
making better choices.
It's an admirable approach,
governor.
Shame it didn't work
for Laura McDermott though.
Well, that is an ongoing inquiry,
there are many factors.
Oh, I'm sure you did all you could.
I know the food's shit
in here, but you need to eat.
You sound like Joyce.
Don't compare me to that
rug-muncher.
You can have this, if you like.
What do you want?
Just checking in on the newbie.
She's fine.
You her agent or something?
Sure she can speak for herself.
She don't want nothing from you.
Just being friendly, aren't I?
Locked up with you all day's
bound to do anyone's nut.
I'm warning you, stay
away from Bambi.
You won't do anything.
You're only just out of seg.
Plus, big sis won't be happy with
you messing with her best worker.
Yeah?
Try me, bitch.
Give it a rest, Sherri.
This is Governor Darby's open door
policy.
Here we go. Please, just tell us
what's going on.
Ladies, please.
I can't talk about Chloe, I'm sorry.
They're like this when
they're sleeping, too.
Come on, Guv, she's our family.
Look, I know you're worried
about her, but I can't discuss it.
Just tell us if she's OK.
She's safe, she's unharmed.
Physically, any way.
If you want to help her then
maybe one or two prayers
wouldn't go amiss.
Dominique Darby, bean counter,
budget cutter, baby stealer.
If your prison needs running
into ground, give her a call.
She's open to offers.
Not your finest moment, governor.
It is an unfortunate
situation, I agree.
But we are very close
to finding the culprit.
No, no, no, I mean there are better
videos, I particularly enjoyed
the one where you appear to threaten
one of the inmates. Excuse me?
Well my son's got them all.
Yeah, he likes to, what's
the praise, binge watch them.
I am so sorry.
No, there's big money in it here,
flogging.
To be fair, you should be
getting a cut.
Altercation on the wing, Guv,
I going to have to catch you up.
OK, sort it quickly,
I'll keep this lot busy.
We need to get to Chloe.
How are we supposed to do that?
Joyce, I'm not getting into trouble.
I can't afford the piss
off the Governor if I want
her to help me with my case.
Why don't you stop thinking
about yourself for a minute?
Why don't you think about that poor
girl on the wing.
I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry.
Mira.
I just want to see her.
I know.
SCREAMING
Move away!
Move away!
Stop it! Stop it!
Get in there, get in there!
Get in there!
You stop that.
Steady, steady.
Where's Adams?
She's putting another one in seg.
Yeah, well I've got this.
So have I!
The Governor needs
another body, now go.
You settle down, what I have told...
Oi!
SHOUTING
Stop. Stop that.
Get out!
Stop it! Ugh!
Right, you. It was an accident
Brian, don't get your knickers
in a twist. Shut your trap, Bateman,
and it's Officer Trent to you.
Not when you're trying
to score, it ain't.
You what?
Nothing.
Don't push your luck.
As long as I keep pushing the gear,
right?
Whoa!
What you doing?
She shouldn't have said that,
why did she say that?
I was only trying to help.
Let me out, I won't say anything.
Shouldn't have wound me up. Doesn't
mean you can slap her across
the face, you fucking psycho.
You shouldn't wind me up!
Push, push, push. That's all you do.
All of you, all of you that's...
BANGING
Oh, shit, shit, shit.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Listen, listen.
None of us are going to say nothing.
Anyone asks, that one's got one
hell of a right hook.
You both saw her hit me.
So no big deal.
Just bitches brawling, innit?
You weren't even here.
All forgotten about.
Hey, out.
When? This morning.
By the way, the girls on McKeown
keep asking after you.
Am I allowed to see them?
Uh, no.
Dame Stella, it's
Sinead Kovac again.
Can you please call me back
as soon as you get this?
We have a situation.
Looking for the Governor.
What's going on?
Another bloody video
all over the internet.
The press have got hold of it.
It won't be long before
they're camped on the doorstep.
Shit. The Inspectors.
Perfect timing, don't you think.
This is not a coincidence.
What can I do?
Make sure we have
the quietest day ever.
Is everything all right on the wing?
Champion.
Our gym.
See, I wouldn't say that drugs are
an epidemic in here, Mr Flowers.
Baldwin, please.
It's just difficult to catch
everything that's coming in.
And how it's coming in.
Because you're understaffed?
Well, yes, of course we are,
but that's not what I meant.
The prisoners and their visitors,
they're becoming ever more creative.
Some of their methods
are really quite ingenious.
Well, you cannot beat a good old
rectal passage,
that's what I say.
I mean I'm all for progress,
you know, necessity is the mother
of invention after all, but
sometimes the old-fashioned methods
are the best, don't you think?
Ow!
It's killing me.
No, no. Ow!
OK?
That's a perfect
realignment, Miss Nelson.
Well done.
You bring her over
to see me later, yeah.
Yes, ma'am.
Hi.
I'm not talking to you,
they're still pissed off with me.
I really thought Chloe
was coming back here.
I'm sorry.
You can do me a favour.
I don't do deals with inmates.
Fine.
But wait.
OK.
What?
Sinead?
It's Alison.
Thought it was Lee.
Sorry to disappoint you.
Have you seen him?
Not to speak to.
You haven't made up, then?
Not yet.
But I'm going to keep trying.
He's my boy, he's all I've got now.
We should be supporting each other,
it's what Laura would want.
How do you know what
Laura would want?
She hated you.
Sorry, I didn't mean that.
I deserved it.
Just like Laura deserved
a better mother than me.
That's why I'm here,
I found out what happened.
How did you hear?
Big world, little town.
What do you want?
Look, I fucked up with my
children, I know that.
It's too late for me to be a mum.
But it's not too late for you.
I'm never going
to see my baby again.
You are.
I'm gonna help you.
Briefs, advice, campaigns,
petitions, whatever it is,
you need to fight this.
I can help you.
Why?
I'm nothing to you.
Because you were...
You are everything to my kids,
and that's enough for me.
And yes, it would make me feel
better, maybe I'm being
a bit selfish.
As plenty will
tell you, that's me.
When you lose a child...
..there's no pain like it
in this world.
Whatever Laura thought of me,
and whatever Lee thinks, those kids
are still a part of me.
They came from me.
Do you understand?
From one mother to another...
..let me help you.
Oh fantastic.
It's OK, I can take her.
She's got a medical.
Oh, actually let me take
you to our training facility.
Yeah, back this way, I apologise.
Sorry, yeah, this way. Back up?
Isn't medical that way?
I know.
I always get lost
when I'm with you.
Funny.
Hurry up.
I could lose my job for this.
Oh, Christ.
Chloe.
Oh, Chloe!
Oh, oh!
All right? Yeah.
Right.
Any comment on The Bridewell
video blog, Governor?
I'm not the Governor, we have no
comment to make at this time.
No-one gets in, you hear me?
SHOUTING
I thought you were
all going to hate me.
Never.
Deserve a medal, hen.
I don't even remember doing it.
Yeah, well that's good.
I mean, that's your
defence, isn't it?
Guilty by reason of
temporary insanity.
Yeah, they tried to get
me to go for that.
Yeah, but your insanity
wasn't temporary, was it?
Don't plead guilty, whatever you do,
and even if they accept that,
you're still going
to jail for a long time.
Or worse, a unit, and any
way, you're not guilty.
But I did it.
I killed him.
Self-defence, though,
you were protecting yourself
and your wean.
Laura wasn't even there.
All right, but what if she had been?
It could be you on
that slab, and Laura.
Times up, you've got to go.
No, no, no, she's only
just got here.
He's right, we don't want
to get him into trouble.
Hey, look, I'm late for work.
Thank you.
It's perfect, Julie.
Hi. Hi.
This is Mrs Tranter,
one of our educators.
Baldwin Flowers,
prison inspectorate.
Oh, pleased to meet you.
Pleased to meet you.
This is Julie.
She's about to get a diploma
in hair and beauty.
It's just one of the many courses
we offer here, not all of them
are so gender binary.
Ah, on the contrary governor,
they say you can tell a lot
about a man by the state
of his hands.
Very true.
If I may be so bold?
Oh, this is Sami Gilani, one
of our best manicurists.
Then I should put my
hands in your hands.
At least half a dozen
press by the gates.
You need to tell them
something, and soon.
Won't they just make it up any way?
We need to get ahead of it.
Let me draft a statement.
PHONE VIBRATING
Oh, Jesus, what now?
Dammit.
A code purple.
Fuck.
I prefer lavender, it's less angry.
I should see to this.
I do hope you haven't staged
all this excitement for our benefit.
I think we should
reschedule your inspection.
Nonsense, no, this is exactly
what we need to see.
My priority is the safety
and security of this prison
and the people in it.
And right now me and mm staff
are needed elsewhere, so I'm sorry
Mr Flowers, but you're leaving.
Now.
I appreciate your
understanding in this.
It's highly irregular, Governor.
Sorry, Gov, I'm just
showing off our Zeus.
Hey, shut up Zeus.
Oh, let me look.
Oh, canine royalty.
Did you hear that, sunshine?
He definitely thinks
he's king round here, eh, Jan?
That's Win, the dog's sitter,
but she sees more of him
than I do just lately.
Mr Flowers?
Hey, you've made another friend
here, going to have to set
up a fan club.
Right, I'd better get off, Win's
the dog sitter, not the dog walker,
that's my job. Eh, Win?
Yeah, I draw the line at picking
up with shit, and with this one
it's filth, deprivation
and chaos, 24/7.
Officer Dolan.
Graham, could you sign
Mr Flowers out, please?
The code purple.
What about it?
We've got a jumper on the roof.
OK. Get the place on lockdown
and get Brian.
That's just it, it is Brian.
We should call
the emergency services.
With this lot here?
What the fuck is he doing?
Whatever point he's trying to make
there's better ways of doing it.
He's not well.
Since when?
Sinead.
I think he's been taking stuff.
What stuff?
You mean drugs?
Prescription at first, then...
And you didn't think to tell me?
No, no, of course
you wouldn't, why would you?
He said he was handling it.
I believed him.
I should have told you.
You think?
OK, look that doesn't matter now,
what matters is getting him
down from there quickly and safely.
Let me talk to him.
No, no, I need you to get this lot
out of here, away from the roof
and away from the press.
Listen, Dominique, I know Brian.
If anyone can talk him down,
it's me.
I am not letting
you up there, Sinead.
It's too dangerous.
I'm the Governor, this is my prison.
This is on me. You're making a
mistake. It's my mistake to make.
Like you did with Alison?
She told me what really happened.
You should have spoken
up from the start.
OK, this is not the time
or the place, Sinead.
Brian is not going to talk to you,
to him you're part of the problem.
Then it's up to me
to change his mind.
You'll make him worse.
Well, as first dates go I am
cautiously optimistic, the question
is will there be a second?
I'm sorry?
I need to complete my report
within 48-hours of first arrival.
That just leaves tomorrow
to finish this inspection.
We'll call you.
That's what they all say.
Shall we?
Mrs Kovac, that car maintenance
course that the governor
told us about.
Did anybody pass it?
Come on, in. Get off.
How can it be a lockdown
if there's no alarm.
Just get inside, will you?
Come on! Probably ran out of
batteries, knowing this place.
Ah, always a bastard when you run
out of batteries, eh, girls?
Some of us don't need...
Stop pissing about, in.
In. All right, all right,
keep your wig on.
What's going on, did they find out
about us seeing Chloe?
Nothing do with that. Come on.
What then?
Nothing, just do as you're told
for once in your life.
No need to be stealthy, Governor.
For one thing, you're crap at it.
What's going on, Brian?
What you doing up here?
Do you hear that?
No.
Well, maybe you're too far away.
I'm not coming over there, Brian.
You come to me and
we can talk properly. Talk?
Talk about what?
About whatever's got
you up here in the first place.
Brian.
Brian?
Brian.
Brian?
25 years I've been in here.
As confined, as restricted,
as forgotten as most of those poor
bastards down there.
Is that how you feel?
Forgotten?
I don't feel anything.
Brian!
All this over a few cheeky videos?
They don't exactly
make us look good.
It's hardly Watergate.
Everything in perspective.
Remember, there are no such things
as problems, only solutions.
And do you have one?
Well at least it gets us
out of work, whatever's going on.
Earth calling Bambi.
No, no way.
Not you, not ever you.
You stupid, stupid cow.
You fucking bitch, Berman!
I'm coming for you, you hear me?
I warned you.
I told you what'd happen, and now
it's going to happen.
And so as head of the prison
inspectorate, I can confirm
that these alleged recordings
are being thoroughly investigated
to ascertain both the origin
and authenticity of the footage.
Now, until the results
of this investigation are known
I would suggest exercising
caution in any reportage.
Now I'm not saying this is another
Loch Ness Monster or abominable
snowman here, but you will have egg
on your face if these vlogs turn out
to be the work of a 12-year-old
Photoshop addict.
But if they are genuine, well,
I better get the series link
for season two!
Janine, what are you doing here?
You're not on shift.
I heard what's going on.
I'm not going.
How can I?
It's Brian.
Whatever's happened Brian,
we can sort it, calmly,
and rationally, and somewhere else.
27 grand a year.
That's what I get for working here.
After a quarter century of service?
63 grand a year.
That's what they wanted to keep
a decent roof over my mum's head.
Now, I always missed maths
at school, but even I know
that that just doesn't add up.
Well, you need money
for your mother?
Maybe we can sort something
out, like a loan.
She's dead.
Gave up waiting for me to get my
head out of my sorry arse.
She was crying for me.
That's what they said.
My strong, proud, invincible mother
crying, while I was fannying
about here, you know, trying
to forget she even existed,
because that was easier.
Not easier for her, though.
No, no.
She was terrified.
Every second of every day.
I was the only one who could
keep her calm, you know.
I couldn't even do that for her.
I'm sure you did the best
you could, Brian. No, I didn't!
Just like I did nothing
for the McDermott girl.
What happened to Laura
was not your fault Brian,
it was no-one's fault.
That's not quite right
though, is it, governor?
She shouldn't have been in McKeown.
Eh? You know that, as well as I do.
Yeah, but it's the system
we need to change, Brian,
and we can do that.
No, we can't.
No-one can.
Because no-one cares
about the Laura McDermotts,
the Sherri Simms, the
Chloe Andersons of this world.
Don't you get it?
No-one cares.
I care, Brian.
Shit.
Mrs Kovac, what's
happening with Brian?
Have you seen that inspector
and his cronies?
They've gone AWOL. Brian...
The Governor's dealing
with that, the Inspectors?
I think they're in the staffroom.
The staffroom?
Ah, here you are.
Your taxi, it's waiting.
Yeah, I think we're going
to stick around for a bit.
There's really no point.
The Governor will be tied
up for quite a while.
Yes, I know she will.
It seems she has some pressing
business on the roof.
What the fuck? Becks?
What is it?
What is it? What is it, I can't see.
Oh, my goodness, look at that.
What's happening?
Fire drill?
Overdose?
Sickly cough.
Suicide!
Screws are 10% more likely to kill
themselves than the inmates
they're in charge of.
Pro rata, of course.
I didn't know you smoked.
There's a lot of things
you don't know about me.
So tell me.
I did the training too,
you know, you know?
Keep them talking, make it personal,
classic distraction technique.
What training?
I don't know what
the hell I'm doing.
What, you think there's a plan here?
There's no plan, Brian,
this is just me and you trying
to figure this shit out,
from one failure to another.
That's what you want
me to say, isn't it?
That you're a failure?
Well I'm fine with that.
Takes one to know one, after all.
You're nothing like me.
You want to talk about fuck ups,
I'll definitely give you a run
for your money.
Come on.
Try me.
Ask me anything.
No?
OK, then.
My sister, Roberta...
..light of my life, a thousand times
smarter
than me, she fell in with the wrong
crowd and I didn't even notice.
She died in a filthy squat
with a needle sticking
out of her arm, and where was I?
Hundreds of miles away, pretending
to be Liza bleeding Doolittle.
Degree, a good job, nice clothes,
a few quid in the bank.
And all the time she was shooting
shit into herself, and I was the
last person she'd think talk to
about it, because I made her feel
so fucking worthless.
Guilt's a bitch.
And this place, look, nobody
takes me seriously, why would they?
I haven't worked my way
through the ranks, I haven't proved
myself, I haven't gained the respect
of one single person in here.
And half of you think I'm a serial
killer, and the other half,
they don't think anything at all.
Every night I am drinking myself
silly, to try and blot out
all of the things I am fucking
up on a daily basis.
Chloe Anderson hates my guts
because her baby got taken away,
and now she's in here on a murder
charge, which arguably would never
have happened if I'd been doing my
job properly, and Laura McDermott
is dead because I didn't read
her file and realise
what with a risk she was to herself.
And I'll probably be in front
of the board because I was stupid
enough to try and bring boxing
into a women's prison, and to top
it all, I am looking after the woman
who, by all accounts,
supplied my sister
on the day she died.
So what do you reckon?
Do we need to swap places?
How long before the emergency
services arrive?
I called them as soon
as I knew what was happening.
Brian, Officer Trent,
he's had a lot going on.
He's a good man,
a great prison officer.
You don't need to plead his case
Mrs Kovac, we're not in court, yet.
SIRENS
You got a spare?
Last one.
Do you want to take that from me as
well? No, no, of course not.
Then just let me enjoy my ciggie.
Fuck it. I can sort this, just step
away from the edge, Brian, that's
all I'm asking. Shut up!
It should be me talking to him.
I told her, she wouldn't listen.
The Governor knows what she's doing,
she's cleverer than you think.
Alison.
What's going on?
We...
We - where's Dominique?
I'm on it.
I'm on it.
Two governors for the price of one.
It's my lucky day.
Oh, well aren't you just
full of surprises.
I give you this, then
you come inside, yeah?
You give me that and
I smoke my ciggie.
Then you come inside.
I'm not bargaining with you.
You sure you don't want to share.
I could really do with one.
Lighter, now!
I can't come any closer, Brian,
you'll have to come to me.
I'm not moving.
OK, OK, OK.
Brian!
Brian! No, Brian! No, no ,no, no!
Ahhh!
