Clink (2019) s01e10 Episode Script

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.
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? 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.
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.
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.
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 m 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.
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! Stop.
Stop that.
Get out! Stop it! Ugh! Right, you.
It was an accident Brian, don't get your knickers/fo in a twist.
Shut your trap, Bateman, and it's Officer Trent to y 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 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?/f 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? 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.
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.
font color="whi 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.
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, tha 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.
Brian! Brian! No, Brian! No, no, no, no! Ahhh!
