Wentworth (2013–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Fly Me Away - full transcript

After Meg's tragic death, Will threatens Doreen saying that if drugs are found, Kaiya will be taken off her. Bea tries to contact Debbie, however Harry keeps picking up and eventually comes to see her. The prisoners try to get information out of Liz, who is working with the officers to discover the identity of Meg's murderer. After threatening to kill Bea, Doreen reveals that Kaiya is actually Toni's daughter and her own died after Doreen crashed her car. Matt and Will have a run in after Will begins to snort cocaine. Kaiya is taken off Doreen permanently. Vera finds the governor job harder than she thought and a new governor is appointed: Erica Davidson.

- Oi! Get here.
- Uh!

Please hurry! It's my dad!

I think he's tried
to kill himself.

I told them that I
was stressed at work,

so I tried to top myself.

I said exactly what
you girls told them.

Bea Smith?

Home sweet home, love.

That bitch is playing with me.

We are gonna come down on her.

Isn't it smarter to negotiate?



We don't negotiate
with prisoners.

That Erica, she
really pisses me off.

You can't argue with
the department, okay?

- Why are you making me look bad?
- That is not what I'm doing.

So you're just
not up to the job.

Is that what I'm hearing?

Hold her still.

Kaiya!

Meg!

Oh, God! Oh, my God!

Zero Five to Zero One.
We need an ambulance.

There were women everywhere.

Kaiya was running
at me. I grabbed her.

And then I saw Bea
and Mrs. Jackson.



- Were they arguing?
- They were on the ground.

Were there raised voices?

Yeah, of course
there was. It was a riot.

Did you hear Bea
Smith or Mrs. Jackson?

No.

There was blood everywhere.

I reckon Mrs. Jackson's
been there a while.

You say that because
of the amount of blood

- on the floor?
- Yeah.

Stand up.

Open your mouth.

Okay, tell us what happened.
You were chasing Kaiya.

I was chasing her.

I was afraid something
might happen to her.

Um, I was running, and
then I was on the ground.

Kneeling over Mrs.
Jackson's body.

I know how this
looks, but I didn't do it.

24 hours earlier, Mrs. Jackson
slotted you for trafficking.

Must have been pretty angry.

No.

We all know what happens
when you get angry, Bea.

You lose control.

Like that night
with your husband.

My husband
tried to kill himself.

But the fact remains,
you're the one

with Mrs. Jackson's
blood on your hands.

It wasn't me.

Perhaps it was a
spur-of-the-moment thing.

You saw Mrs. Jackson.
You had a weapon.

In the commotion,
you stabbed her.

I didn't kill her.

I didn't... It wasn't me.

Hey. You in on this?

Fan mail.

Oh, can it wait?

Please.

Franky!

It's for the grommet.

Shh.

Are we ready?

- Yeah, what about Franky?
- Oh, she's not doing it.

Oh, surprise,
sur-freaking-prise.

Hey, three's enough.

Attention, compound,
attention, compound,

count will commence
in 10 minutes.

Better get a move on.

Whose birthday is it?

Mine!

Yay! And what do you want?

Hot potato!

Hot potato!

Hit it, Bea.

Happy birthday, Kaiya.

- Oh.
- Make a wish.

- Oh, happy birthday, sweetheart.
- Thank you.

How old are you?

- 3.
- 3!

3? 3 or 5?

Mr. Jackson.

Oh, welcome back.

Oh, sorry, you're here
for the head count.

Okay, come on. Come on, girls.

Come on, baby. Come on.

It's little Kaiya's birthday,

and we... we all got a
bit Wiggly, didn't we, girls?

Oh, it's nice to see
you, Mr. Jackson.

Ms. Bennett, any comment

on the investigation into
Meg Jackson's death?

- Do the police have a suspect?
- Is anybody locked down?

- Ms. Bennett.
- Come on, give us an answer.

- Ms. Bennett.
- Oh, come on, Ms. Bennett.

Give us something!

Four weeks isn't long.

Maybe he's going to be governor.

Ms. Bennett's only
temporary, isn't she?

- Would they do that?
- Why not?

Uh, 'cause he'd be
replacing his dead wife.

- Shh!
- Booms.

What? I'm just thinking.

I reckon Jacs topped her.

No. No one's talking.

If you did it, would you?

No, it's too big to sit on.

And I am not
talking about her ass.

Birthday pressie for Kaiya.
From the girls in D Block.

Oh, choccie frogs!

Oh, thank you! She'll love it.

Yeah, they're not gonna last.

- Boomer!
- Put it back.

What? She gets
pancakes in the playroom.

We get this crap. Fair's fair.

Boomer, it's her birthday!

She is gonna love
the zoo, isn't she?

- Oh, yeah.
- She lives in a bloody zoo.

Shit.

Ohh!

Sit down before
the screws see ya.

- Relax.
- You're pinned.

I told you, if you're gonna do
that crap, you stay in the unit.

Can someone please get her
brecky before they get suss?

Yeah, I'll get it.

How's the boob?

Tight, unlike your face.

Drop by the unit.

Always happy to pick
up where we left off.

Poor old slag.

She keeps hitting on
me. I keep saying no.

Mr. Jackson?

I just wanted to say,

really sorry about
everything that's happened.

Yeah, 'course you are.

Are you trying to get sprung?

Stop stressing.

Doreen?

Keep your head down and
walk straight back to the unit.

Hi, Mr. Jackson. I've
got something from Kaiya.

Go on, baby girl.

I helped her with the writing,

but she did the
faces on her own.

Who killed my wife?

I-I don't know.

All it takes is one drug bust,
and the kid's gone, Doreen.

You start with Bea Smith.

You've got a day to
get me some answers.

I'll get it.

Hello?

Hello.

Bea.

I'd like to...

Can I please speak to Debbie?

She's in her room.

Well, can you get her for me?

She's locked herself in.

She won't come out,
won't talk, won't eat.

What have you done?

What have I done?

Debbie failed her exams.

Shit!

Well, what did you expect?

She's been copping it
from the kids at school.

She... She can't hack it.

Well, did you speak
to the principal?

They're supposed to
be looking out for her.

Of course I bloody did!

Please, Harry, just put her on.

Remember what we said?

We're supposed to be
keeping things normal.

Deb? Debbie?
Debbie, is that you?

It's not.

Do they record
these phone calls?

Bea!

I don't know.

There's a lot we need
to talk about, honey.

I'll come for a visit.

Filling in for Mrs.
Jackson has...

Even temporarily, has...
has been a challenge.

So, um, I hope that I can, um,

rely on your support,
uh, again at this time.

Um, I think the additional
security measures that I've...

W-we've put in place are
addressing any concerns.

You try walking the compound

knowing there's no guarantee
it won't happen again.

Well, that's why
you patrol in pairs.

All they need is two shivs.

We've refocused the security
cameras on any trouble spots.

Keeping an eye on the
potential instigators of the riot.

With the, um,
police now offsite,

uh, our focus should
be resettling the women

into some sort of routine.

The GM will be on the
compound over the next few days.

Uh, regarding the, um,

uh, investigation into the riot,

uh, Mrs. Jackson's
death, it's still ongoing.

Uh, at this stage it's unclear
whether it was murder

or an unfortunate accident.

Will, welcome back.
Everybody, Will is back.

Welcome back, Will.

Appreciate you coming
back on board, Will.

Now, one thing I'd like
to achieve while I'm here

is getting rid of that media
mob camped outside.

Now, we could put
the hose on 'em,

but I reckon we'd be the ones
getting the spray in the press.

So don't give them anything
they can write about, all right?

Any statements are
to come from Vera.

So you have spoken to them?

Uh, no.

Well, we need to give
them something positive.

So, what have you got?

To give our vocab
a bit of a boost,

we'll be practicing some
new words and phrases.

Once you've copied
the new phrases out,

we'll be working them
into a longer sentence.

Boomer's got a long sentence.

Okay, back to work.

Steven was one of
my first appointments,

and he's made
incredible progress

with the women's
vocab and reading.

Mm. Good to hear.

Here already.

And this is Franky.

Actually, Franky has
just completed her HSC,

and that's encouraged
a lot of the other women

to enroll in the class.

Yeah, but I'm your star pupil.

No one comes even close.

Yeah.

I've been, uh, tutoring
Franky for the last 12 months.

Tutoring, dating, same, same.

Very different.

Actually, I have to
postpone today's session.

Oh. Well, I guess I'll just
have to play with myself.

If only we had the Internet, eh?

What do you reckon?

Education is just one element.
There's also the practical.

We have coffee courses,
self-esteem classes,

interview techniques.

I want to take this further.

After the lockdown, the
women went a bit stir-crazy,

so I organized dance classes,

which ended up
being hugely popular.

Morale increases,
incident rate goes down.

I read the report.

We need to empower the women.

And it's also something
positive for the press.

It is.

But the public would
be out for blood

if I gave the governor's
job over to someone

whose vision is trotting out
well-groomed dancing baristas

back into society, hmm?

Glad you didn't deny it.

You want this job, Erica?

You're going to have to
be much smarter than that.

Should've let me know
you were coming back.

- You heard anything?
- From the women?

Women, cops, whoever.

No, mate.

You heard Vera.

Cops still don't know
if it was deliberate.

Do me a favor.

She had a knife in
her fucking chest.

In the middle of a riot, okay?

We don't know what
really happened.

Well, doesn't take a
genius to work it out.

Is Debbie here?

The cops are re-interviewing
a bunch of people.

Why?

The neighbors.

They dragged in some
of the guys from work,

asking 'em questions
about us, our marriage.

About me.

Now, you know I don't
like people nosing around.

Where... Where is she?

Does she know I've been
calling? Is she getting my letters?

I'm only here to make sure
we're all on the same page.

I mean, we sure as hell can't
talk about it over the phone.

It's been over a month, Harry.

I promised I'd be there for her.

Well, that was a
stupid thing to do.

Harry, I have to
see my daughter.

It's not gonna happen,
so don't start up again.

I'm only doing this for Debbie,
because she begged me.

No.

Nah.

You're doing this for yourself.

You know the cops wouldn't
be talking to everyone again

if they didn't think
something was going on.

You'd rather everyone
think you tried to top yourself

than find out exactly what
type of guy you really are.

No, this is about you, Harry.

It always has been.

Now, Debbie needs me.

And guess what.

I'm still her mother.

But you're not there.

I'm the one who's got
to clean up this mess.

And Debbie's been through hell.

Every time you call,
things get worse.

She's a wreck.

So stop calling. Stop writing.

Why don't you think about
what's best for Debbie?

That's what you should
have done in the first place.

Think about it.

You got to tell me, Bea. You
got to say what happened.

Doreen!

I'll hurt you. I don't
want to, but I will.

Doreen, what are you doing?

You tell me what
happened to Mrs. Jackson.

- I didn't see anything!
- You were there.

- You were there, too, Doreen.
- I didn't see anything.

Tell me!

Doreen, I don't
know! I don't know!

Doreen, please!

Have you got it?

- You can't drive.
- I'm fine.

Come back inside.

I won't be long.

Hey, ya bitch.

Do you want Maccas or not?

All right. Just don't
forget the nuggets.

Doreen, what's going on?

Sweetheart, what's happening?

Mr. Jackson.

He's gonna take her away.

I've got to find out
who killed Mrs. Jackson.

He reckons you know something.

Doreen, I don't. I don't know.

I've got to tell him
or he'll take Kaiya.

How?

He'll plant something.

Uh, look, if they
find drugs in here,

Kaiya's out of jail for good.

Kaiya was right there,

and he said he'd get rid
of her right to her face.

Now, listen to me.

Listen.

He can't do that, right?

So I'm going to go and
talk to the governor...

No, no, no, you
can't tell the governor.

If he finds out that I
dobbed, he'll take her away.

Please.

I can't stuff up again.

Mr. Jackson.

Can I have a word?

Look, I didn't do it.

Mrs. Jackson, she was
already gone when...

I've given my
statement to the police.

They've cleared me.

Doreen, she'd do
anything for Kaiya, anything.

But she's not up to helping.

Well, if you didn't
do it, find out who did.

Hey, let me go.

Well, a night in the slot
should help you remember.

- But I didn't do anything.
- Move!

All right, stop.

Let her go.

Let her go, Mr. Jackson.

Go back to your unit.

Mate, you're way out of line.

They know who did it.

Even if they do, you think
they're going to tell you, huh?

Well, I'll make them.

If Vera or Channing see
you like this, you'll be out.

I need the rest of that CCTV.

There's nothing else,
mate. That was it.

There was nothing on it.

I've already stuck my neck
out. Now let the cops handle it.

The cops are doing jack shit!

You need to go
home and calm down.

Those bitches are
gonna get away with it.

While you're like this, you're
not helping anyone, are ya, huh?

You're not.

Fuck, I miss her.

I know. It's okay. Hey.

You go home, yeah?

I'll cover for you.

Right?

Go on.

Go on, mate, go.

Oh, I love your new teddy.

- Is that a present from Grandma?
- Yep.

Oh, can he be my friend, too?

Did you see the
bears in the zoo?

- And the tigers?
- Yeah.

Yeah? And what
noise do tigers make?

- Roar!
- Roar!

- They go roar!
- Can you keep it down?

Oh, we're playing.

Yeah. Well, I'm trying to sleep.

Come on, it's not even 7:00.

Do I give a fuck? Just shut up.

Kaiya wants to tell
you about the zoo.

I don't give a fuck
about the fucking zoo.

Please, I'm just
trying to sleep.

Baby girl, why don't you
go and find Aunty Liz, hmm?

She'll give you a
bicky. Come on.

It's her birthday, Toni.

Just shut up.

She's been freaked out for
weeks about those police dogs.

She deserves a bit of fun,

but you're so off your face all
the time, you don't even care.

Helped out with
the cake, didn't I?

She needs looking after.

How about you just relax?
Stop acting like her bloody mum.

Well, if you were a proper
mum, I wouldn't have to.

Oh, come on, you love it.

You fucked up with your own kid.

Now you're stealing mine
to make yourself feel better.

Truth hurts, don't it?

Thank you.

Oh, Vera, I need some
signatures for these incident reports.

Yeah. Right. Add
them to the pile.

You know, hopefully by the
time I get through all of this,

the media will have gone.

Just give them a sound
bite. That's all they're after.

No. I can't.

The whole idea of facing
cameras and recorders and...

- It's part of the job.
- Yeah, which everybody hated.

Meg hated it. Dalton hated it.

I don't remember a
governor who didn't,

and even if I
could go out there,

I would have no
idea what to say.

You need to get the police
back and authorize a ramp now.

What?

Look, they didn't
give me her bracelet.

When they buried her,

they gave me her wedding
ring but no bracelet.

She was wearing
it the day she died.

She always wore it.

Okay, the police have already
searched the compound.

But they didn't know
what they were looking for.

Okay? Whoever killed
Meg took that bracelet.

Okay, are you sure
it's not at home?

She was wearing it
the last time I saw her.

It went missing here.

Right, a ramp's going to cost
a fortune in staff and cleanup,

and the effect
on the women is...

We're talking about the
fucker who killed Meg.

Don't you want to find her?

Of course I do.

Then authorize a ramp.

No, you're doing
the right thing.

Bernadette? It's Erica Davidson.

Yeah. Yeah, it has
been a... Been a while.

So, that favor you owe me.

It's okay, baby girl. It's okay.

I don't like the dogs.

Shh, baby girl.

Make them go away.

They find it?

Why can't they do their
fucking jobs properly?

It's probably been
flushed, okay?

Okay, are they
doing strip searches?

Will, you've got
to stop this, mate.

They need to do
internals. I got to tell Vera.

Listen, Vera's under
enough pressure, okay?

Screaming at her
isn't going to help you.

- Get your hands off me.
- Listen, mate.

You need to calm
down, all right?

- You need to calm...
- Get the fuck off me!

Hey!

She's gunning
for your job, mate.

You know, I thought
she was my friend.

Erica eats friends
for breakfast,

then shits them out at lunch.

I know I'm not as good as Meg,

but I could be if they
give me a chance.

In my view, you wouldn't
be acting governor

unless they thought
you were up for it, okay?

Excuse me.

So, Vera, I am so sorry.

I've only just seen this.

I mean, you know
what the press are like.

They are looking for
an angle, that's all.

Tell me you didn't have
anything to do with it.

What? Vera!

Sorry!

Sorry. Look, this is the
last thing I need right now.

Yeah, I understand, but...

Vera, what's this
about a ramp last night?

I didn't have a choice, sir.

Will came to me
with fresh evidence.

Which failed to materialize.

I still felt I had
to authorize it.

This isn't going to do
your budget any favors.

- You know that.
- No.

No.

Erica?

I'm sorry.

- Are you serious about this?
- Yes, I am.

And from what I heard
on talkback this morning,

the response has been positive.

It's a vague promise
that your programs

will provide public safety.

I see it as a clear vision

for the future
direction of Wentworth.

I've got the commissioner
breathing down my neck,

and he's being
pressured by the minister.

Look, this prison is more
than just your programs.

It's a business.

And ultimately, we're
answerable to the public.

I understand.

You haven't worked your
way through the ranks,

earned your stripes.

I have a double degree
in law and social work.

I'm well aware of
your background.

But your work here over the last
18 months has been in a bubble.

This. This is my work.

This is the first positive
press we've had in months

because I've come
up with a strategy

that's palatable to the public.

Yeah, I know they don't want
to hear about rehabilitation

and what it costs.

They want to know that
the criminals are locked up

and they can
sleep safely at night.

So I am selling it to
them as money well spent

to ensure their safety when
the women are released.

I'm listening.

You know, I've spent years
finding effective solutions

for civil disputes.

I can mediate, strategize,
communicate, and manage.

This is experience you do not
get from patrolling a compound.

I will reduce incident rates

and change public
opinion of Wentworth.

And when the government's
opinion poll bounces back

and the commissioner stops
breathing down your neck,

you're more than
welcome to buy me a drink.

Franky! Mail!

Look at this.

Reality TV fans. Man,
they need to get a life.

Look at that. Hundreds.

Phew, spike in numbers.

None for you, darlin'.

Bea, we need to get a move
on if you want to use the phone.

I think I'll give
it a miss today.

Okay.

You all right, Bea?

You want a cuppa?

One sugar, right?

Look, I'm really, really,
really sorry about yesterday.

No.

Mate, you were
fighting for your kid.

I would have done
the same thing.

- Yeah.
- How is Kaiya?

Oh, she's still a bit
sooky. She hates the dogs.

How long have you
looked after her?

Oh, since she was 2.

Toni made me carer
when she couldn't cope.

She's a gorgeous kid.

Yeah. I wanted to
make things right.

I wasn't there's for my baby,

so I figured, you know,
I should be there for her.

Where's your baby?

She died.

That kid had no chance
with a mother like that.

We'll have to induce her.

I had an accident
when I was pregnant.

Hurt people in another
car. That's why I'm here.

I killed my baby.

Oh, Doreen, I'm
sure you didn't kill...

No, no, no, I did.
I was trashed.

I just wanted to have fun.

You know, they said
I still had to give birth

even though she was dead.

I didn't believe 'em.

I could still feel her
move when I moved.

And I saw her
after she was born.

A little girl.

She just looked
like she was asleep.

And I remember
thinking, you know,

maybe if I can slap her on the
bum or something to wake her up.

But they just wrapped
her all nice in a blanket.

Then they covered her face.

Oh, it was good coming in here.

It got me straight.

Then I met Kaiya.

She just smiled at me,

and I felt like I had a
second chance, you know?

The last few months,
she's been struggling a bit.

Oh, maybe you're right.

Maybe this is
no place for a kid.

I mean, how do you even know

if you're doing the
right thing for them?

Oh, I don't think
you ever really know.

Just...

Just do what feels
right in your gut.

You're so full of shit.

What?

That's not what
you're doing to Debbie.

You've stopped calling her.

Yeah, well, she's been
through enough already.

I can't keep putting
her through any more.

Your gut says to
keep calling her, right?

Yeah, but it's
just not fair on her.

Oh, geez, you're her mum.

She loves you,
and you've given up.

How do you reckon she feels?

And then under
so you get the blue,

and then you do
the... The white.

Screws find what
they were looking for?

How would I know?

You have your little meetings.

I'm a peer worker, not a dog.

Doubt they'll find what
they're looking for now.

Riots, all that chaos.

Anything could happen.

Try and make sense
of it later? No chance.

- I was in my unit.
- Oh, right.

I have witnesses.

Besides, I never
get my hands dirty.

Well, you did with Franky.

Yeah, well, I always make
an exception for Francesca.

Where is the bean flicker?

She's answering her fan mail.

If they could see her now.

Hey, Mr. Fletcher.

Ooh, where'd you
get the boo-boo?

A cricket match.

You always were a shit batsman.

Actually, that was
your shit bowling.

Drink at the weekend?

Only if you're paying.

Mate, you cannot keep doing
this to yourself, you know?

That's a pretty
picture, baby girl.

- Thank you.
- Aww.

I hope there's no fuckin'
animal noises tonight.

Relax. She's heard it before.

You want to help us draw?

Do I look like I want to draw?

This is good shit.

Where'd you get it?

What do you care?

Because I'll bloody kill
whoever gave it to you.

The smack fairy.

Toni?

What?

Do us a favor?

Nip down to H4?
Martha owes me rollies.

Do it yourself. I'm off my face.

I'll give you half.

Half?

Yeah, all right.

Wait up. Toni.

- I got to go to the toilet.
- Come here. Come here.

- I got to go to the bathroom.
- Come here.

You're pinned, aren't ya,
hey? Off your fuckin' head.

I'm gonna do you a favor, okay?

I won't search you here
in front of your daughter,

but you're gonna walk quietly
with me out of here, all right?

Let's go.

Gav, take over.

Grab your rucksack, sweetheart.

Are we going to Grandma's?

Yeah, we're going to Grandma's.

It's gonna be a
long visit this time.

Okay.

Erica. I've got to talk to you.

Uh, not now, Steven.

- It's important.
- Steven, please, not now.

You've got to help me.

I did something stupid.

She swore she
wouldn't get caught.

- I never would have done this...
- What are you talking about?

Toni Goodes.

We had an arrangement.

It was only a few
times, I swear.

You supplied her?

Well, I wasn't good enough.

It... It's always a
difficult situation.

The department decided to
take things in a new direction.

Well, I tried my best, so...

Your contribution won't
go unnoticed, Vera.

You will be
reinstated as deputy.

You're going to
make a career change.

Do I make myself clear?

- What if it gets out?
- It won't. I'll make it go away.

Now get your things
and leave the prison.

I'm sorry.

Get out.

Erica.

You look nervous.

Franky, you're gonna
want to see this.

Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for coming today.

I have an announcement

regarding the permanent
appointment of governor

for Wentworth Correction Centre.

But firstly, I'd like to thank
Vera Bennett very much

for her hard work and commitment

during the last few days.

She looks nice, doesn't she?

Difficult time.

Now may I introduce to you all

Wentworth's new
governor, Erica Davidson.

Wow.

I'd like to thank
the department,

in particular Mr. Channing,
for their faith in me.

I realize it's been a
tough time for everybody,

and my first task as governor
will be to stabilize the prison

for the sake of the
women and the officers.

Obviously I have strong
views about rehabilitation,

and I will be making changes.

But my primary
concern is public safety.

I want you to be able
to walk down the street.

You know, take your
children to the park

and not worry about
what might happen.

To feel comfortable
and not afraid

if you come across one of our
women in your day-to-day lives.

The changes I will make puts
community safety as a priority.

Thank you.

Ms. Davidson, how will
you ensure public safety?
