Sextortion (2020): Season 1, Episode 5 - Coming Clean - full transcript
The electoral debate - can Darren hold his nerve as his world crumbles around him?
(CLANG!)
(CLANG!)
(CLANG!)
DARREN: Hari was right.
Belinda had been blackmailing me
the whole time.
She had no idea I was on to her.
But instead of dealing with it,
I just pretended everything was fine,
and focused on getting ready
for the big Glenderson debate.
BOTH: Door, do...
Ba, be, bee...
..bo, boo.
Fa, fe, fee,
fo, foo.
Can you make him
sound more like a man?
(DEEP VOICE) G'day.
(BOOMING VOICE) G'day Governor.
Gentleman.
(DEEP, BOOMING VOICE) Rugby.
Rugby.
Rug...by.
Rugby.
Rug...by. Ru...
So, why was Belinda blackmailing me?
Looking back at it now,
I guess it all makes sense.
Belinda had always been dead keen
on starting a family.
But for some reason that scared
the living heck out of me.
Morning, Darren.
And since I'd started seeing Shona,
our marital relations
had become...
..well, complicated.
So I just started acting my way
to the finishing line.
Uh... Yes, yes oh, that's it, that's
it, no, no, that's it, yeah, yeah.
Oh, OK.
OK.
But, no matter
how great my performance was,
Belinda could still tell
something was up.
So, a few months ago she followed me
to my men's only prayer group.
But there were no men
or any prayers in sight.
(SOBS)
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Hello.
How, could you?
Ugh, come on. You better come in.
Turns out Belinda wasn't the first
wife that Shona had had to deal with.
OK. You just need to know that you
haven't done anything wrong.
This is just about...
He seems to like what I do.
He makes... He makes noises.
Oh, honey, no.
I'm not having sex with him.
That's not what this is.
If you're not having
sexual intercourse relations,
what exactly, are you...?
Well...
As Shona explained everything
about my kink -
my mum, the shame
and of course the Jazzercize,
none of that
seemed to matter to Belinda,
she was just focused on one thing.
I know he loves me.
Yeah, he does.
We live in his father's house,
Reverend Bellows,
you may have heard of him,
he's quite a famous televangelist.
Reverend Bellows is Darren's dad?
Yeah.
(EXCLAIMS)
You've heard of him?
Uh, yeah.
I don't like to speak badly
of people but he's a horrible man.
Oh, my god.
No, that guy is a grade A (BLEEP).
He promised that we'd move out
15, 15 years ago.
(SNIFFLES)
OK. Alright. I can help you.
You'd help me?
Mm-hm.
For a fee.
United by a common enemy,
Belinda and Shona teamed up
to get rid of my father.
They knew I'd never do it willingly,
so they found a way to control me.
With my sex tape in the can
they waited for the perfect moment...
..to strike.
Everything I'd been through
was because of Belinda.
She called the shots...
Oh, flip.
..while Shona did the dirty work.
Get rid of your dad
or that video is going live.
It's going public.
And when I didn't play ball,
Belinda did whatever
she thought would save our marriage.
Like sharing my sex tape
with the media...
What?
..and Dad.
REVEREND: We are yet to know
who this pervert is.
And that stunt at Sinner for Dinner.
Everybody, this is Shona, my sinner.
Pushing all the right buttons
until I cracked...
(THUMPS TABLE)
I think we've heard enough!
..and confessed to everything.
I know that woman.
She's blackmailing me, Belinda.
Belinda finally had my attention.
Darren, you know what to do.
Get rid of Dad?
Everything was going to plan.
You can just...
..phase him out.
But the one thing she didn't count on
was Hari spilling the beans.
Is that Darren
in the sex video, Hari?
Keep your voice down.
Wow.
It is not Darren.
I hardly said anything, man.
He's like a warlock.
He just got it out of me.
Hari!
He just...
Hari.
No-one was supposed to know
it was me in the video
but, boy, had Belinda's plan
backfired.
Rugby.
With only a week until the election
I was set up for public humiliation
at the biggest event
of the campaign calendar...
..the Glenderson Political Debate.
You good?
Yeah.
Well, uh...
..we did all we could.
OK, sure.
Thank you for that.
A word, Cambridge.
Sorry about that, uhhh...
No. There's nothing you can do
with him. He's an idiot.
(PHONE RINGS)
(PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)
(PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)
Hari, Hi. It's Darren...again.
Um...
Hey, I think you might have been
right about Belinda.
Can you please... Please call me.
OK...
Good. Good. Good. Good. Good
How could you do it?
Do what?
Blackmail me.
I'm sorry... No.
Mm. Mm.
I'm not sorry.
I did it for you. OK?
For you, for me.
For us.
I want the Reverend, your father,
out of our life
and out of our marriage.
15 years ago
you promised me a house.
And I have been
running around after your father.
And you have just let him
walk all over me.
I've had enough. Look at me.
Look at your wife.
You go out there
and you denounce your father, OK?
Or else.
(DOOR SLAMS)
How did it all come to this?
I'd had so many opportunities
to get rid of Dad
but now here I was
having to do it in front of everyone.
On top of that, there was no telling
what Bubbler might do.
BUBBLER: Uh, Darren.
Break a leg, motherfucker.
Alright. Thank you so much,
everybody, for coming out tonight.
It's surprising
to see such an interest.
Let's get going.
With just one week
until the election,
it's the last chance for these
four candidates to state their case
as to why they should wield power
in parliament
on behalf
of the Glenderson electorate.
We're just going to
crack into a quickfire round,
answers of 10 seconds or less.
Starting with Darren, separation
of church and state, quick fire.
(WEAKLY) I think church...
Shane quick fire, rates increases.
Let's talk mortgage rates,
how many people, put your hand up,
actually own a house?
It was impossible
to focus on anything.
Nude statue
across the road from the kindy.
No matter what I did, it would be
the end of my marriage, my career,
my entire life.
Everybody is entitled to a home.
I had no choice but to disown Dad
or be exposed as the masturbating
pervert in the video.
..the very earth is burning...
But before I could,
Bubbler stepped up
and nailed me to the cross.
What is important to me
is the love between family members,
especially the love between a mother
and her son.
Isn't that right, Darren?
Hah, anyway...
Family values,
let's talk about our family values
for our politicians here tonight.
What do you think about that?
I mean, look at the disgraceful
deviant in that political sex tape
that's been doing
the rounds at the moment.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
I'd love to know, Mr Bellows,
your opinion of that young fellow.
I thought that he was a little bit
sick, don't you think?
Sick individual.
(ECHOES) Mother fucker.
WOMAN: You're going to
burn in hell for your perversion.
Sick. Sick. Sick.
It's a fair question, Darren,
considering your stance
on anti-masturbation.
Darren?
Dad, I'm really sorry about this...
I'm the pervert in the video,
in the sex video.
That was me. It was me in the video.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Just to be clear, I'm not...
I was never attracted to my mother.
It wasn't that, anyway.
The person I'm with in that video
is that woman up there.
She's a sex worker
and I paid her to do that.
Pfft, yup.
Is that funny?
No, no, no, it's just, um...
And do you know who organised the
video and blackmailed me with it?
It was my wife, Belinda.
Because she wanted you
out of the party, Dad,
because you're a horrible person.
And the only person who has been nice
to me the whole time,
I didn't even realise, is Hari
and he's not even here.
Anyway, that's my tape, everyone,
so congratulations.
Yes. Are you filming that too?
Film that and put it
with my sex tape. It's my sex tape.
So, there you go. Vote for me.
(BELINDA SOBS)
That was a comprehensive answer.
Hi. And welcome to my live feed.
My name is Darren Bellows.
I'm the leader of the CUP Party.
One of my goals this year,
leading up to the election
was to visit every single house
in the Glenderson Electorate.
I've just got one more house
to visit, so come with me.
So, I think this is the...
..this is the right way.
So, the footpath just ended and
became a dirt track, so I presume...
I can't see a house.
Oh, god. No. that's not...
It's not.
OK. So, there's no house
and I can't find a path
but I have found this water.
I can't, I can't find the path back.
I can't find the path. I can't.
Hello?
