Wentworth (2013–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Mind Games - full transcript

FLETCH: Move to the wall!

So we can finally
get on with our lives.

MAN: Vinnie Holt
left the courtroom

and returned to his
Bacchus Marsh compound.

Check out the
fresh tart. [Laughs]

Don't fucking
flaunt her in public.

You know what that
does to me in here?

They're gonna gang her.

What? What's that?

Rape.

Please don't do this.



You know it's not right.

You got guts, coming in
here, airing your opinions.

[Grunts]

No one else has been
brave enough to do that.

I'm so sorry, Bea.

I just came here to work out.

This one's for Bea.

[Screams, gasps]

You want to see your daughter?
You tell me what happened.

[Down-tempo music plays]

[Music continues]

[Treadmill beeps]

[Music continues]

ERICA: It's been three
weeks. How are you feeling?



JACS: Fine. Have
been for a while now.

Not really enough to warrant
staying in medical this long.

It was for your own good.

Keeping me locked away

is not going to change
what happens when I get out.

No.

At least you're smart
enough to admit it.

Seven years at the top.

Nobody gets there without
making a few enemies.

You certainly don't stay there
without making a few more.

Isn't it nice how much
we have in common?

I haven't heard much talk
of you on the compound.

Worries me.

Personal concern
from the governor.

I'm flattered.

The officers have also noticed

a significant change
in the women,

who they're looking to.

That's to be expected.

Once I'm back in the unit,
things will right themselves.

I'd like you to agree
to go into protection

for the remainder
of your sentence.

It will ensure your safety,

make sure you walk out of
here when your time ends.

If you don't take my offer,

I can't guarantee
how long you'll last.

JACS: No one takes
a hit out on Vinnie Holt

and gets away with it.

I'll rip his fucking heart out
and shove it down his throat.

I've enjoyed our little chat.

Thank you, Governor.

ERICA: We'll introduce
random spot checks

throughout the day, every day.

H2 and H4 are our main focus.

We need to know where
these women are at all times.

[Mid-tempo music playing]

[Clicks tongue]

Hey.

Bea.

Hey.

You still feeling the love?

It'll wear off.

[Music continues]

ERICA: If they're in
the visitors' center,

I want them monitored closely.

I want all calls to be recorded.

If there is anything
remotely out of the ordinary,

I want it logged
into the daily reports.

Hey, Bea.

Hey. I cleaned out the canteen.

I got popcorn, I got biscuits,

and I got a whole
lot of tissues.

Oh, you're such a softy.

It's my new favorite
show now, eh?

I knew you'd like it.

[Indistinct conversations]

[Keys jingling]

ERICA: There will be reprisals.

We know that's how
Jacs and Franky work.

What we don't know is
how the game changes

now that there's a
new player in the mix.

[Down-tempo music playing]

[Groans, sighs]

[Water dripping]

[Clicks tongue]

I'm not getting involved.

The only way we come
out of this is if we strike first.

And then it just
starts all over again.

Until what? Someone dies?

I don't plan on dying.

Why do you want
to be in that position?

It's better than being
a weak piece of shit

that everyone walks
over, isn't it, Red?

Why do you want it?

I don't.

Don't you?

[Indistinct conversations
in distance]

Let's go.

[Door closes]

[Steam hissing]

Kept her warm for you.

JACS: Thanks, Simmo.

It's good to be back.

[Steam hisses]

- Stop her.
- No. Let her go.

- Please let her go.
- No. Stop her.

No. Come on.

Okay.

How's the hand?

Fine.

I didn't want
anyone to get hurt.

What else did you
think would happen?

If I knew you were
going to get hurt,

I would've tried
to stop that, too.

This was never
about taking sides.

I just didn't think what you
were gonna do was right,

and all I want to do is go
home and be with my daughter.

- [Thud]
- Mum?

We all do what
we have to in here.

I'm glad your
conscience is clear, Bea.

[Steam hisses]

- [Laughs]
- Hey, I've got to call my mum.

Well, say happy
birthday from me.

- [Laughs] Sure.
- Miss Miles.

[Beep]

Just give us one.
Come on. One smile.

- Franky.
- Yeah.

Why didn't you stop Bea?

Bea and Jacqueline needed
space to work through their problems.

Yeah. Well, she stuck
her neck out for you again.

Yeah, and she'll always have
a special place in here for that.

You're stronger with
Bea than without her,

and a smart girl like
you should know that.

You know these spot
checks are a waste of time.

Keeps them on their toes.

- While we're run off our feet.
- [Beep, door unlocks]

And now Erica wants
all this extra surveillance,

but is she offering up
any extra officers to do it?

Mate, you know how it works.

All I know since she
became governor...

Everything she does makes her
look good while we cop the shit.

That's the job.

It never happened on Meg's watch

or any of the other governors.

That doesn't mean
it's the wrong way to go.

It's just Erica works
different that way.

I thought you'd
be all over this.

She's right about the women.

You know how tense it is.

So throw them
in the slot, right?

Or keep them locked
up in their units longer.

- Well, that's not gonna happen.
- That's the way I'd play it.

Look, you've got a better
way of handling this situation,

talk to Erica.

Yeah.

Then suck it up
like the rest of us.

Later.

Later.

[Indistinct talking on P.A.,
footsteps approaching]

Spot check.

Please, be my guest.

Find anything you like?

You're playing very nice, Jacs.

What are you planning?

Why don't I make us a cuppa

and we can sit down
and trade stories?

Yours are far more
fascinating than mine.

I'm sure the governor would
be very interested to know

how one of her officers
spends his spare time...

Cavorting with drug dealers.

I've seen the photos.

You really must find
a more private venue.

What's your son
doing with Debbie?

They're in love.

I reckon Bea would have
something to say about that.

Just know, Mr. Jackson...

I'm the one that makes
the threats around here.

What's that for?

Mum would actually go
off if she saw this place.

She is such a neat freak.

Well, lucky she's not
here to hassle you, then.

She always finds a way.

You think she
still gives a shit?

I mean, she keeps finding
excuses not to see you.

At least your mum's different.

Mm.

She's all over me

because she wants me to
take over the business one day.

Do you want to?

Yep.

[Indistinct conversations]

I love you, baby girl.

Doing anything
interesting on the weekend?

What about you?

Wye River.

Beers, a tent,
and a fishing rod.

It's all a man needs.

I've never been camping.

Seriously?

Oh, you're missing out, Vera.

Yeah. Bugs, wildlife,
squatting over a hole.

See, that's music to my ears.

Deb, it's Mum again. Just
trying to get hold of you.

Hey, Bea.

Can't have two in a
row. Back of the line.

Is it the same as smoking it?

No way.

You want to try?

Bea.

Take my place.

Thanks.

[Rubber stretching]

[Telephone ringing]

Do it.

[Ringing continues]

BEA: It's me again.

Just wondering where you are.

Mm. Showing it the
respect it deserves, I see.

Oh. Wait. Fletch.

You can eat with me, Vera.

I-I can't eat your food.

[Sighs] Well, you
can't eat that rubbish.

Well, no. Not now, I can't.

What is it?

It's Mediterranean
couscous salad.

I learned to cook when I was
traveling around with the Army.

Looks good.

I thought you guys ate
all that freeze-dried stuff.

Not in my unit.

That's really good. Thanks.

You know, um, there's a Bond
movie marathon on tomorrow night

at the Palais.

Yeah. I like the movies too.

You know, maybe...

Thought may... maybe we could...

We could just meet
up there if you want.

Great.

Great.

Oh. Bea. Quick, quick, quick.
Come on. It's about to start.

Yeah. We thought
you were gonna miss it.

Ah, not a chance.

Did you get hold of Debs?

No, not yet.

I just can't seem to catch her

between, you know,
school and everything.

Hey, I reckon he's gonna tell
her he's dying or something.

Well, he's been
acting pretty weird.

I reckon he's trying
to blackmail Paige

into not seeing Blake.

KIM: Blake is so smug.

I just want to smack
him in the face.

Careful. You might hurt
your hand on all that plastic.

BOOMER: Hey.

Hey. No. You leave him alone.

Aw, Booms. Really?

- Already?
- Hey.

You get it?

Yeah.

And Spitz?

He'll do it after lockdown.

Good.

You're a good woman, Simmo.

I got to go and
make myself nice.

Vinnie's coming.

[Exhales deeply]

My lawyer reckons I could
be out in a few months.

If you need me to
take care of anything.

I appreciate it.

But she's just another
one with no substance.

Vinnie's tarts
don't last for long.

Planning on a holiday, Max?

Oh, damn.

Yeah.

Thinking about a trip to the
Greek islands, you know?

Yassou,my friends! [Laughs]

VINNIE: You're
behind the hit on me.

No way! Why would I do that?!

Because you're a
greedy little prick!

MAX: Come on,
Vinnie! We're family!

I wouldn't do it! I...

Looking good, Jacs.

Oh, it takes two people
to escort me now.

I just came down to see
how you're settling back in.

Like I never left.

A snapshot in
time, you might say.

It's a bit quieter than usual.

You visit often enough
to know, Governor?

It's my business to know, Jacs.

You'll have to visit
medical tomorrow.

The doctors will run some tests,

see if there isn't
any residual damage.

If there is, we can
reassess your options.

Mr. Jackson will
escort you to your visit.

You look like hell.

Just a few bruises.

If you want something,
anything, you just let me know.

I need drugs for my arthritis.

Bad?

I can't go to medical.

Word will get out, and
the vultures will circle.

I've got a screw we can use.
They'll get in touch with you.

You get it, and
they'll bring it in.

You taking care of who did that?

You know I will.

That's my Jacs.

The governor wants
me in protection.

Thinks things are
on the downward.

I'm not taking it.
I'm not conceding.

Good to have options.

Why would I need them?

Simmo's back inside.

Spitz mentioned it.

What's going on with her?

Spitz hasn't said
anything about Simmo.

No, Vinnie.

Her.

I got my hands on a piece of
land down on the peninsula.

It's being rezoned.

Cass is taking care
of it with Planning.

I'm gonna make a killing.

So, is she good for the
business or good in bed?

I want to marry her.

You and me...

time hasn't been our friend.

So you want to wind back
the clock with some slut?

I can't wait another
seven years.

I'm your wife.

I love her.

It's your dick talking.

I've got my lawyer
drawing up divorce papers.

I can have her taken out.

No, Jacs.

You don't have any
reach outside anymore.

The only power
you have is in here.

I'm sorry.

Seven years I've been in here

with another seven
to go because of you,

and all you can
say is you're sorry?!

I'll make sure you
get your medication.

Anything you need.

But you might want to
reconsider the governor's offer.

Tell Brayden to come and see me.

Jacs.

[Beep]

All done?

VINNIE: I want to marry her.

ERICA: I'd like you
to go into protection

for the rest of your sentence.

VINNIE: Time hasn't
been our friend.

ERICA: Seven years at the top.

Nobody gets there without
making a few enemies.

You certainly don't stay there
without making a few more.

VINNIE: You don't have
any reach outside anymore.

The only power you
have is in here. I'm sorry.

ERICA: I haven't heard much
talk of you on the compound.

Worries me.

WOMAN: I'm dying.

Oh, my... He was so close!

[Women shouting, applauding]

[Down-tempo music playing]

KIM: Really? Really?

[Shouting, laughter continue]

[Indistinct talking
on television]

Heard the laughter.

Didn't want to miss
out on all the fun.

Why don't you get
out, Jacqueline?

That's not very nice.

Obviously having a
bit of a get-together.

There are women here
from the other units.

Yeah. And you're not invited.

Francesca, your
manners are appalling.

Get... the fuck... out.

- Jacs?
- [Keys jingling]

What are you doing here?

I was trying to
make conversation,

but it's a bit limited.

Hm.

Be a good man
and escort me home.

Be back for lock-in, ladies.

LIZ: All right.

Maybe we'll find something
interesting to chat about

on the way.

[Beep, latch clicks]

[Cellphone ringing, buzzing]

[Ringing, buzzing continue]

[Cellphone beeps]

Hello?

MAN: Is this Bea Smith?

Who's this?

I'm one of the guys having
fun with young Debbie.

- Who is this?
- Deb's a good girl.

Great fuck... Or so
the others tell me.

- I can't wait to have a go.
- Who the hell are you?

You keep your
hands off my daughter.

- Debbie?
- No, Deb can't talk right now.

Got a mouthful, if
you know what I mean.

You keep your
hands off my daughter!

- Bea? Are you all right?
- MAN: See you later, Bea.

Hello?! Shit.

Where'd you get the phone?

[Cellphone dialing]

I've got to ring Debbie.

[Breathing heavily]

Some guy on the
end of the phone...

They've got to her.

- No, no, no, no, no, no!
- I've got to call the screws!

Listen to me. Debbie is fine.

- No.
- Jacs is messing with you.

No, she's not. There's some
guy, and he's hurting her.

Trust me.

I know how it
works in here, right?

You push that button,
the screws will come

and find you with the
phone, and they will slot you.

- You know that.
- I don't know that.

I'm telling you, Jacs
has done it before, love.

Okay?

I've seen it.

So if you push that
button, she wins.

Debbie is fine, love.

Okay?

Jacs knows how to get
to you, and you let her.

Yeah. And what are you
doing about it, huh? Nothing.

Oh. You'd better
be careful, Red.

I said I'd take care of you.

- Debbie's your problem.
- Debbie's not a problem.

- She's my daughter.
- Yeah, she's your daughter.

We know.

Don't we?

Jacs knows.

So it's something you're
gonna have to sort out with her.

[Down-tempo music plays]

[Birds chirping]

- Vera.
- [Beep, door buzzes]

I'm looking forward
to the movies.

[Music continues]

[Beeping]

[Clicking, squealing]

Bloody underwire bras.

[Beep, door buzzes]

Hi.

- Hey, Fletch.
- Will.

Guys.

- Hey, Linda.
- Morning.

- How are you?
- Good.

[Music continues]

[Beeping]

- LINDA: Come on.
- Aw.

[Keys jingling]

[Squealing, humming]

Belt. Again.

[Breathing heavily]

[Door opens]

You're late.

Give it to me.

[Exhales deeply]

This is the first
and last time, Jacs.

I won't do it again.

Yes, you will.

Every time I ask.

[Exhales deeply]

This job is my life.

Which is why you're
in this position, Vera.

I don't want to do this.

When you ask a favor...

there's a good chance
you'll have to repay it.

And when that day comes,
it's too late to change your mind.

Do you really want the
governor to know what you did?

She won't believe you.

If you were confident of
that, you wouldn't be here.

No one was supposed to get hurt.

I asked you to start a small
fight that I could handle.

So you could save the day.

So Meg could see that
I was good at my job.

Mm.

How easily a fight
turns into a riot.

I suppose neither of
you came out ahead.

Jacs, I...

I have always shown you respect.

Please don't make me do this.

You will get me what I need.

Or you'll end up
trading in your grays

for this lovely shade of teal.

And I might not be
so nice to you then.

[Water running]

[Gasping]

What's going on,
Vera? You all right?

- I can't...
- Can't breathe. Okay.

Sit. Come on. Sit
down. Sit down.

- [Gasping]
- Here we go.

One hand on your heart,
one hand on your stomach.

Look at me. Focus
on my eyes, okay?

Now breathe into your hand
and out through your stomach.

Focus on me.

In through your hand, your
heart, out through your stomach.

Focus on me.

Now breathe in... and out.

That's it.

Deep breaths.

[Fluorescent lights buzzing]

[Sniffs]

What happened?

Nothing. I just... They...

It just gets to me sometimes.

I just should know better.

Yes, you should.

You're too nice to them,
Vera, and they take advantage.

No, they don't.

You think everyone
in here is a victim,

but they know right from wrong.

They just don't give a shit.

Well, everyone goes
through rough patches in life.

You've got to decide how
you deal with it, you know?

Hurt people, break the law,

or do it the hard way...
How we handle it.

You know, that's why we
deserve to be a part of society

and they don't.

Would you remind me
not to get on your bad side?

I think you're pretty safe.

You're a good person, Vera.

Don't let them get to you.

- All clear.
- Clear.

Right. You're free to go.

Thank you.

Walking, Smith.

[Telephone ringing]

[Telephone ringing]

BEA: Harry?

Hello.

Deb.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I was calling you
all day yesterday.

Why didn't you pick
up? Where were you?

Who were you with?

Can you stop hassling me?

I've just been
worried. That's all.

I said I'm fine.

Well... can you tell
me what's going on?

I just feel like
you're avoiding me.

You can talk.

What... W-What's that
supposed to mean?

Whenever I talk to you,
you just go off at me.

And whenever I try and visit,
don't even want to see me.

Look, I-I told you
I had an accident

and... and I wasn't
allowed visitors.

What kind of accident takes
three weeks to get over?

If you don't trust me anymore,
if you don't want to see me,

then... then just say it.

I was beaten up.

Well, h-how badly?

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm okay now.

Looked pretty messy.

I just didn't want to
scare you. That's all.

[Voice breaking]
I'm so sorry, Mum.

This is all my fault.

No. Hey. Look.

You've done nothing wrong.

You... Why would you think that?

You stayed with
Dad because of me.

Oh. Honey, no.

I...

No. I...

I didn't stay with your
dad because of you.

I... I was just too
scared to leave him.

I, uh...

I was silly enough to think
that it was better for you

if we stayed together.

Deb, this is a
tough time for us.

We're gonna get through this.

Okay?

You there still?

Yes.

Darling, don't cry.

I miss you so much.

I miss you too, Mum.

It's gonna be all right.

Just... I want to
ask you a favor.

Can you do something for me?

I want you to just keep
talking to me, all right?

[Door closes]

I will.

I love you to the moon and back.

I love you too.

[Sobs]

[Dial tone]

So what's next, Jacs?

It's polite to knock.

You're gonna have to
do a hell of a lot better

than planting a phone.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

You want to have a go at me?

Then have a go at me.

Don't you dare use
my family to do it.

It's dangerous to jump to
conclusions in here, Bea.

You put yourself in the mix.

The women are
looking to you now.

I'm sure Francesca isn't happy

with the way you're
stealing her spotlight.

Hey, uh, you want to
grab a drink after work?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Have
to be a quick one, though.

I'm, uh, going to
the movies tonight.

WILL: Vera?

Good for you.

[Laughs]

Franky? Governor
wants to see you.

She's a bit busy at the moment.

Sorry.

Ms. Davidson wants
to see you now.

[Chuckles]

Ms. Davidson's insatiable.

Come on.

So I heard you and Bea
were paid a visit yesterday.

A lot of girls came by.

We're quite popular.

What did Jacs want?

What did he say
when he proposed?

Did you cry?

What did she want, Franky?

[Chuckles]

Have you set a date?

This is not about me.

It's not about me either.

Do you think Jacs
will ever give up?

She'll die trying.

That's what you want.

[Laughs]

I never said otherwise, Red.

[Treadmill beeps]

And what happens when
someone else goes up against you?

You putting your
hand up, are you?

No.

Didn't think so.

We've, uh... we've
been through a lot.

No one's ever done
something like that for me.

It's not something I'll forget.

You look like shit.

So I've heard.

- Too busy with Debbie to visit?
- You wanted me to get with her.

Hasn't been difficult
for you, has it?

No.

I want to talk to you
about the business.

You. What it means to be a Holt.

I know what it
means to be a Holt.

You made sure of that.

When?!

Brayden's birthday.

That's the memory you
want to leave my son?

[Breathing heavily]

MAX: [Grunts]

I've done my best to
prepare you and protect you.

Not always.

[Metal clanging]

Mum?

JACS: I did what I
did for your father.

And now he wants a divorce
so he can marry that slut.

You know what that means?

I'll have no influence on
the outside, no power in here.

The women will turn on me.

Your father's made
sure about that.

You're all I've got now.

It's time.

Time to break up with Debbie.

Where did you really
think this was heading?

You know how we work.

Brayden.

I'm sorry you had
to see that, son.

Look at me.

I know you're scared.

You're the only one I've
got who can keep me safe.

But better you know now...

This is what we do to
protect what we have.

Time to step up.

And I'd do it again for you,
your father, and our business.

One day you'll understand that.

Time's up.

I do this for you...

then we're done.

You'll be back.

No, I won't.
