Look, I know that you've got a problem with me, Jim.
Problem?
You know I love you.
Course.
I'm not interested in women.
You should give it a go some time.
Don't know what you're missing.
Just think what would happen if I didn't protect you?
Just forget him.
I can't!
Of course you can.
No. Not ever.
I'm having his baby!
Come on.
I said, tell me, Helen.
I can't marry you.
Hey, what's going on, Jim?
Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
Applications.
Right.
There's only two. Do you want me to bring them in now?
Can't now. Got a date with the old man in two minutes.
Do you know if he's heard from Helen?
I'll find out, won't I?
Morning.
Morning, sir.
Sorry, sir. I thought I was coming to you?
I forgot.
Got my new carpet being laid.
Ah.
On the subject of Helen Stewart,
obviously, all your staff know she's overdue back from sick leave.
Frankly, I think she's gone awol.
No message from her, no reply from her home.
It's a shame.
I feel sorry for her.
This job's tough enough without problems on the home front.
Well, I'm not going to speak to personnel.
It'll leave a gap to fill on the wing,
but we'll get you a promotion board as soon as possible, Jim.
Phone rings
hello?
How do you fancy going out for a nice steak tonight?
What?
I've just seen the boss.
Stewart's out. I'm in.
I've just got to go through the motions.
Did you hear me?
I'm sorry, I just wasn't expecting...
Well, show us a bit of enthusiasm, will you?
This is it, Marilyn.
I'm going to be a suit full-time.
I'm really pleased, Jim.
So phone up and book us a table, will you?
Yeah. Yeah, right. Right.
It's ok. It's all right.
I think it's starting...!
What? Proper?
Yeah, it is. No, it is.
Don't do that over her!
She can't be having it yet.
Do your breathing.
Oh, what now?
It's the dorm.
Forget it, then.
I'm not going running for some silly kids.
One of them's pregnant.
Don't want another miscarriage, do we?
They'd better not be wasting my time.
What's up?
It's started.
You sure, zandra?
My waters' just broken.
All right. What's the fuss now?
Call a minicab right away.
She's having her baby. We got to move her.
Don't worry.
We'll get you to the hospital straight off.
Can you help her get some things packed?
Yeah. All right.
Come on. Off to work.
Just doing an application.
I'll send it in proper.
That'll put me back on enhanced.
It's on my list. Just be patient till I'm in the job for good, eh?
Yeah, all right.
Then who knows, we could be having late night sessions
in my new office, maybe even a little bottle of wine, eh?
Oh, please.
If you don't rock the boat.
Watch where you're going, dockley.
Oh, still got the glums cos your little guv is gone, have you?
Shame she ain't coming back, isn't it?
You're going to fetch your coat
so we don't look so obvious?
Why?
It's her own fault she's a prisoner.
I want Robin to be here with me.
Will you find him?
Zandra, the sad fact is,
if your boyfriend was remotely interested in this baby,
he wouldn't have married somebody else, would he?
Now just get in the car and keep your legs together.
I'm scared.
Don't worry. You'll soon be safe in the hospital.
So, who's zandra got on escort with her?
Mr McAllister and old body bag.
Body bag? Oh, god. Poor zandra.
Christ, who'd want to go through labour
with that old cur by your bedside? Not me.
I just hope cos the baby is early, it'll come out quicker.
Yeah. Mariana was early.
They said because I was anaemic.
She was only five pounds two ounces.
Poor little thing.
Well, we'll just kept our fingers crossed, eh?
Put your hands together like this. Be of more use to her.
Gosh, she's all right, that crystal, but she doesn't half bang her tambourine.
Here, you two.
How do you fancying earning a bit of extra money?
Now, where would you feel most comfortable, zandra?
On the bed or on the chair?
Try the bed.
I'll wait outside, yeah?
No, you stay here, mr McAllister.
Send her outside.
Don't be ridiculous.
Do you think we could take those off her now?
Oh, I'm sorry. This one's a security risk.
She can't be trusted.
Well, she's in my care now and I want them taken off, please.
Come on. She's not going anywhere in her condition.
Are you?
Just one move.
Thanks, miss.
Ready then? Yeah.
You can always get up again if you want to.
Whatever feels most comfortable.
Miss? Yes?
I wonder if you could do me a big favour?
Well, I'll try.
As long as you stop calling me miss.
My name's Mary.
Sorry, Mary.
It's just, I really want the baby's father to be here with me.
Look, you silly girl, I've told you.
I know he'll want to be here.
Well, if you can give me his phone number...
I haven't got it and it's ex-directory,
but I can give you his address.
Well, I'll see what I can do.
But, zandra, I've got to ask you one thing.
I've noticed you've got needle marks in your arm.
Are you using drugs?
She'd better not be anymore.
They're old marks.
Right, that's me finished for today.
See you tomorrow, Sheila. Thanks.
Goodnight, Sheila.
We was thorough.
What we're like.
You've made it lovely, girls.
How do you fancy making a regular job of it?
Yeah?
What do you mean, like?
Regular payment.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We'd be up for that, wouldn't we, Julie?
Kicking.
And if you need any washing done...
Washing.
..Ironing. Ironing.
Well, I was wondering about a set of curtains.
Curtains? Curtains?
Yeah, no problem.
And I'd love something soft to put me feet on, first thing.
Glad you could get here, Karen.
Glad you asked me.
I told you there'd come a day.
So, you want to lure me away from men?
I want to help you up the ladder, Karen.
I won't deny it though, female inmates aren't as easy to manage.
And we've had some serious problems on this particular unit.
But I know you like a challenge.
That's why I'm here.
Ah, can I offer you a scotch?
Well, if you're having one, great.
We're off duty, aren't we?
I've asked g-wing's acting governor to join us, Jim fenner.
He's an experienced landing officer like you.
I trust his instinct.
Knock on door
ah, Jim!
Sorry I'm a bit late, sir.
Good to see you.
Now, let me introduce you.
Karen.
Hello, Jim.
Long time no see.
I don't believe this.
You already know each other.
Yes, sir. We met at a conference a few years ago.
Excellent. I thought you two would click.
You'll have a scotch, Jim?
Oh, yes, please, sir.
I'll just get another glass.
Feel free to smoke.
Let me.
You've put on weight, Jim.
Can't you give me something else for this pain?! It's taking the piss!
Do you want me to give you some pethidine?
Anything!
Zandra, I'm sorry.
Someone's just come to say the police have tried
contacting your boyfriend, but there's nobody answering.
They've left a message.
He should be here. Where is he?!
I'm sorry.
Never mind that. Go and get you and me some teas, Dominic.
And phone in to make sure they've got another shift sorted
to cover us.
See? You've made her more upset now.
But don't listen to me.
I'm home.
You upstairs?
I'm in here.
So what have you booked us for dinner, then?
I haven't yet.
Thought I told you to book somewhere.
I wanted to talk to you first.
Well, what do you fancy?
Jim, I think you should have a look at these.
What?
These letters.
Letters?
I didn't say anything when the first one arrived cos I thought
it was just a sick joke.
And then this one came this morning.
What are they about?
Just read it.
Come on, zandra. Keep taking deep breaths.
Oh, god! I want to push!
Well, push then! Go on!
Let me have a look.
Oh, I can see a little bit of the baby's head coming.
Ok, you just listen to your body, zandra.
If you feel like pushing, just bear down.
Yes, that's it.
Baby's head's coming.
Give a little push.
Come on, push!
Zandra plackett, where is she?
I'm Robin dunstan, where's zandra?
She's in there.
Robin!
Zan!
You got a baby boy.
There's some toast.
Do you want boiled or scrambled?
No, I'll just have a swig of this.
I want to get in and talk to a few people.
You got an idea, then?
Just leave it with me.
We're exposed to this sort of thing all the time.
Prisoners telling lies about us.
Don't you worry about it.
Well, I am worried, Jim.
I mean, who is this shell dockley?
For Christ's sake, Marilyn, don't you trust me?
Of course I trust you.
Well, you better had or you'll be a total idiot.
Listen,
I'm going to nail the vicious little bitch behind this.
And when I do, I'll have her ghosted out of larkhall that quick.
All right?
See you tonight.
Baby cries
Robin.
Really making a meal of this, aren't you?
Where's the baby?
They've taken him away for some tests.
Tests?
I don't know what.
They said they had to put him in an Incubator to keep him warm.
They do that with small babies, don't they?
Are they worried about him?
No, they said he's a tough little thing.
We're going to have to decide what we're going to name him.
I've been calling him little Robbie.
Robert's a good name.
Robbie's short for Robert.
Yeah, we can't call him Robin.
Think of all the Batman jokes.
You know what you said about Chloe, last night?
Why didn't you marry her?
What does it matter, zan?
She's engaged to someone else now.
So, why didn't you write to me?
Why do you drop me, Robin?
You knew I was having our kid.
I just thought by then I'd left it too late, you know,
like, you'd tell me to piss off.
When I got the message to come here,
honestly...
..It was amazing.
Seeing our baby born.
Do your parents know you're here?
They're in Italy.
I'm going to tell them.
They've been different since after Chloe.
Really.
I'm doing a woodwork course now.
Making furniture.
They're going to buy me a shop.
Yeah?
Morning, Sheila.
Mr fenner?
Mr fenner...
What the hell?
Morning, Jim.
Obviously, I didn't expect to find you here.
Obviously.
We were beginning to wonder if you'd had enough of us.
On the contrary. Our flight back was cancelled.
Only we didn't know what to think, did we?
Seeing as how you didn't phone in.
It wasn't easy, parked on the runway for five hours.
You must have already been home when I got through to Simon.
Right.
Well, then.
Talking of Simon, I've got a meeting with him first thing.
Then I want to talk to all the pos after morning lock up.
If you can call them together, please.
Fine. Only you'll be missing Sylvia and Dominic McAllister.
They're both at the hospital on bed watch.
Zandra plackett went into labour yesterday.
Did she?
Well, when they both get back then.
Right.
Oh, Jim...
..I take it these are yours.
Thank you.
Nice suit.
Morning, I'm glad you're here.
Where's the baby?
I'll take you to see him.
We're going to have to keep him in special care for a few days.
I've got to go back to prison today.
I'm sorry, zandra,
but he's withdrawing from the drugs you've been using.
What?
He's acting a bit jittery and unsettled.
We need to keep a close eye on him.
He's withdrawing from drugs?
No. No, he can't be.
Please, don't worry. He's going to be all right.
Zandra, you said you'd come off all that.
Hey, look! It's miss Stewart!
Bleeding hell.
Good to see you back, miss.
Good on you, guv.
Looks like fenner's been telling you fibs, dockley.
Who needs men, eh, miss?
Good morning, everyone.
All: Morning.
I have some good news.
I had a message from the hospital to say that last night,
zandra plackett had a baby boy.
Miss Stewart. Not now.
I need to talk to you, miss.
When I'm ready.
What's going on?
You told me she wasn't coming back.
Yeah, well, I was...
..I was misinformed, wasn't I?
So much for you and your big promises.
Get in there. Go on.
You said her job was yours.
Listen to me, I'll be bloody lucky to hang on to my own job.
Some shit's been sending letters to my wife, telling her about us.
Eh?
Threatening to finish me.
What, you mean someone from in here?
They're on prison issue paper.
But who'd do that, Jim?
What? You really can't think?
It's obvious, isn't it?
Wade.
The evil lezzie bitch.
So, what did your wife say, Jim?
She just thinks some sicko's playing games.
That's what I told her.
She's not giving you a hard time, then?
Of course not. She trusts me, doesn't she?
So, what are you going to do about Wade?
I don't know.
I was going to put the wind right up her.
But now that her little friend's back in charge,
maybe she'll have enough to crow about anyway and leave it off.
No, she won't.
That'll only make her worse.
What? You know better than me, do you?
No, just supposing, that's all.
Well, don't suppose.
Ok, go on.
I need to be reassured that you can take control again, Helen.
I've already been down into the wing and I've arranged a unit meeting
for later.
As far as my personal life is concerned,
I've dealt with that matter.
Well, I want you to take this as an official warning.
I shall note it on your record and expect you to do a thorough
handover with Jim fenner.
Even though he'll return to uniform, he'll be staying on the same grade
as you.
New carpet.
You should also know that i'm appointing a new principal officer
on g-wing.
We worked together in my last establishment.
She's garnered 11 years' service
and she recently completed a ba honours.
She'll be coming for a look around next week.
But I thought we just needed a replacement for lorna Rose.
What I need, Helen, is to know that you've got a strong team behind you.
We have to keep him warm because he can't properly maintain
his own body temperature at the moment.
I can't believe you've done this to him, zan.
I didn't know, did I?
Look at him.
I'm never going back on the stuff, honest, I promise you.
I'm really going to look after him.
Say your goodbyes, then.
Bye-bye, little Robbie.
They'll put us on the mother and baby unit as soon as he can join me.
It's a drugs-free zone in there.
I'll have my own room, he'll have a cot
and there are plenty of nurses around,
so, we'll really well looked after.
Yeah.
And you will come and visit us every fortnight, won't you?
Of course I will. I'll see him every day while he's in here.
So, he'll always have one of us.
Won't he?
Are you done?
Bye.
See you next week.
Take care of yourself.
Nikki Wade for you, ma'am.
Thank you.
Take a seat, Nikki.
I thought we'd better have a talk.
I can't believe you're back here.
I was really beginning to think you'd walked.
You must have been through hell.
I'm where I want to be now.
Meaning not back with Sean?
Hardly.
I couldn't believe him turning up here like that.
Had to mean you choked in there.
Nikki, I don't want to talk about Sean.
Sure.
But I'm not wrong about why you couldn't marry him, am I?
Look, Sean and I were never going to work out.
Oh. I knew that as soon as he moved in with me.
So, nothing to do with what you felt for me.
Why can't you tell me I mean something to you?
Of course you mean something.
Say that again.
Look, it doesn't matter what the hell I feel, Nikki.
You're a prisoner in my charge.
I can't take advantage of you.
You wouldn't be.
Look, while it's my job to lock you up.
There's no way we can be equal, Nikki.
Look, wait.
I'm not saying any of it is going to be easy, but it's not impossible,
is it? Not if we both want to try.
But that's what I'm trying to say to you.
I don't want to try and pretend that these aren't the facts.
Look, how can I do my job when i'm breaking my own rules?
I'm sorry, Nikki, but there's no way.
Well, you obviously care more about your bloody career
than you do about me.
I must be mad.
Of course, I'm not worth risking your precious job for.
Not when you can nip down the garden centre and pick up another
boyfriend, because that's what you'd rather have, isn't it, Helen?
Then you won't be breaking any rules.
I nearly didn't come back to this.
But my back is up against the wall.
This is my last chance to do some good.
I want you to help me, Nikki.
Ok, go.
Hey, there's zandra.
What are you doing back here, love?
Where's your baby?
He's still in hospital, in special care.
Well, why's that?
What? Cos he's early?
Cos he's clucking.
He is what?
He's detoxing, so you can blame me, crystal, all right?
Oh zand, you poor little love.
But he'll soon be all right, won't he?
Yeah, when can you have him back?
They said in about a week.
A week, oh, that'll soon go past. Go past.
Then you'll be all be all mums and bums, won't ya? Won't ya?
Guess what? What? What?
Well, you never will.
I got Robin back, as well.
Robin? Robin?
He never married that posh cow anyway.
Eh? Eh?
The hospital got in touch with him for me,
and he was there when it all happened.
He was great.
Oh, that's good. Yes. Fantastic.
Are you just going to stand there like you got a bad smell
under your nose, crystal?
Come here.
Don't you want no pudding?
Why? Are you going to Chuck it and fenner's frigging face for me?
No, I just thought you'd...
..Never mind.
Yeah, well, I do mind, don't I?
His soppy wife letting him off so easy.
What else do I have to tell the stupid cow?
What his dick looks like?
Why? Is there something funny about it?
Nah - bog standard.
Shame you couldn't get a camera in. Send her a photo of him on the job.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, right.
No problem taking a snap of that, would there?
Shove some more stodge in your brain, then.
Hang on.
He'll fill out in no time.
Yeah, he likes his drink.
You're a right little guzzler, aren't you?
Better a guzzler than a grizzler.
He's got his daddy coming to visit him today.
I've got a visit myself today.
So, if you're feeling a bit down...
I've kicked, all right?
I've made my mind up.
What? Serious?
Well, I've got to be, haven't I? I've got him.
Well, if you change your mind,
I can always use a phone card.
It's me. I need something sent in.
A little present for a dog, get it?
And I mean little.
Proceed straight to whom you are visiting in an orderly fashion, please.
Look, Robbie, it's your daddy.
Hello, zan.
Well, he's a little bit grizzly today.
And sit down as soon as you find your seat, please.
How's he doing?
He's doing great.
I really missed him last week.
Yes.
I've been making a wooden rattle for him on the lathe.
That's lovely, Robin.
They said they'd give it to you later.
I want him to have all his own new things.
Hello, lover boy.
You still staying off the stuff ok?
Of course I am.
I promised you, didn't I?
I've told my parents now.
What did they say?
I think they kind of expected to hear something
cos, obviously, my mother had worked out when he was due.
They slag me off?
What worries them is Robbie being in this place, zan.
Worries me too.
Oh, we've still got a nursery at home, you know,
for when my brother brings his kids to stay.
What are you saying, Robin?
Why risk his health in this place?
What's the point?
We both want what's right for him, yeah?
Surely it's best for him to be with his mother.
We'll still have visits.
I'll bring him in to see you.
Just think about it, ok?
Take that one for a strippy.
What?
Just a minute. I want to have a look inside that nappy.
What? Put him on here and take it off.
You want to have a good sniff and all, don't you?
Don't blame me we can't trust you, plackett.
No.
Bitch!
Shouting
Brilliant, den.
Here, you keep a lookout.
What are we going to do with it?
I thought we'd have a little play of it.
Telephone for you.
Hello?
Is that mrs Sylvia hollamby?
Speaking.
Hello, mrs hollamby. My name's penny.
I'm ringing from mail order customer services for your recent order
from our catalogue.
What order?
For a double bed.
What double bed?
One deluxe double sized bed, £999.99.
I haven't ordered a double bed.
That's what it says on my computer.
Look, I'm telling you, I didn't order it.
I don't want it.
Oh, well, it's a bit late to change your mind now, mrs hollamby.
It'll be loaded up in the depot.
I'm not changing my mind.
Listen to me!
I did not order a double bed.
Oh, well, I don't know what to say.
Leave it with me.
I'll try and get to the bottom of it.
Now, hold on a minute.
Oh!
Well, that's me finished with catalogues.
Full stop.
Baby cries
Shh.
Baby cries
Come on, baby, please.
Come on, baby. Sleep, please.
That phone card was half used up.
Must have given you the wrong one.
Give me the right one then, zandra.
I'll give you back the stuff.
Eh? I've changed my mind.
I'll go and fetch it.
No, you don't get me that way.
Honest. I don't want it.
Yeah, not now you've had your hit and cut the rest with talc, eh?
No, I haven't. Just give me a clean phone card, ok?
Now, zandra.
Get off of me!
What you have to understand, zandra, is that a place
in the mother and baby unit is a privilege, not a right.
Why the hell were you fighting?
I didn't start it. She was winding me up.
The other women said they were fighting about drugs.
When a search was conducted in zandra's cell,
we found a small supply of heroin.
What?
But I said, I didn't use it.
I didn't want it, Robin!
I was piss tested clean, wasn't I?
You broke the rules!
The other mothers on the unit are up in arms about this.
We'd have to segregate zandra anyway for her own protection.
Now, the problem is that the law won't allow us to lock a baby
into a cell.
I can't believe you got involved in drugs again.
But I didn't want to. She pushed them on me!
Why don't you tell him, miss, that it wasn't my fault?
Look, there'll be a case conference now.
You might have to hand your baby out, zandra.
What?
Well, obviously, if she can't keep Robbie in here,
then I'm taking him home with me.
No! Of course I am, zan!
But I'm his mother!
I want to look after him!
Well, you should have thought about that before.
But I didn't do any drugs!
We all have to think of what's best for the baby.
And if you and Robin don't make your own arrangements...
No, I've decided...
No!
..You've got nothing to give him, zandra!
You can't even breastfeed him.
That's their fault.
If they'd let me stay with him in the hospital,
my milk wouldn't have dried up!
There's no point in arguing about this.
She'll never be a fit mother.
You're not taking him, Robin.
You weren't there with me the whole time I was carrying him.
So, you can piss off now!
Ok, zandra.
You can take her back to the mbu.
You're a shit, Robin!
And make sure there's someone there to stay with her, please.
Maybe this was a mistake.
No.
It's made me realise I'm doing the right thing.
I've already started legal proceedings, miss Stewart.
I want sole custody of my son.
Come on, Robbie.
Come, baby.
Who's a good boy? Come on.
Come on. Shh!
That's a good boy.
That's ok, baby.
Come on, come on.
Shh!
Shh.
Good afternoon, sir. Good afternoon.
What are you doing in here?
I'm just getting some of these for the washer.
Thanks, miss.
Shit!
Knocks on the door
come in.
Just taking your coat off the washer.
Yes, of course. Thank you, sir.
Shit!
Shit.
Shit. It's ok, Robbie.
Come on! Shit!
It's ok, it's ok.
Senior officer Karen betts to see the number one.
Oh, he's just been asking after you.
Oh, has he? Yeah, just got back in himself.
Thanks.
Am I all right to park in here?
Yeah, sure. Leave it there.
Thanks.
You know, I thought I might have missed you, got stuck in area.
Been a few changes here since we last talked.
More problems?
So, have you heard anything from zandra?
No, Benny said she's not back at work yet, either.
I'm going to ask ms Stewart if I can visit her.
Yeah, right. Well, send her our love, won't you?
Crystal!
Zandra? Oh, Christ!
They're trying to steal my baby!
You stupid girl! Get back down!
I'm not going to let them take him!
Call control and get Stewart.
Sandra!
This is all we need.
Get this lot banged up. I'm going up there.
All right. Give me the easy job.
Shouting
you lot, move it!
Any inmate not out of this yard in two minutes is on report!
Come on! Move it!
Come on! I said, move it!
Yeah? Zandra plackett is on the hospital wing roof...
What? ..With her baby.
I put her on special watch!
Has stubberfield been told?
No, they can't get hold of him.
Shit.
Christ.
Zandra, it's all right.
I just want to talk to you.
I don't want to talk.
I just want to keep my baby!
Zandra, we'll look after him! We'll get it sorted!
Please come down, girl!
I know what they'll decide.
They'll send him out to his rich shit dad!
Well, you're not going to help your case with this kind of caper.
Now, come on.
Stay away from me!
Get back.
Ok. Ok.
Zandra! You got your whole life, zandra!
Be fair to your baby.
What can you give him in here?
Things I can give him anywhere.
I can give him love, can't I?
Come on.
This is silly.
Don't kid yourself, zandra, you're not going to jump.
Not if you really love your baby.
Jim.
I think it's me zandra's angry with.
Isn't that right, zandra?
You think I'm on Robin's side?
You want him to take Robbie away from me, don't you?
Ok, I'm going to put myself on the line too, zandra.
Helen.
I tell you what I think about you and Robin.
I think he's very like my ex-fiance, to be honest.
He's weak, zandra.
He's weak, but he's totally sure of himself.
Now, he'll use every single advantage that he has
to try and get custody of your baby.
But he'll only win if you give up the fight.
Why do you think I'm up here?
Because you think you've already lost.
You haven't.
You'll be out of here next year, zandra.
And I promise you, I'll give you all the help I can to protect
your rights as Robbie's mother.
But first, you've got to respect his rights.
Now, I'm going to stand up.
And I want you to hand him to me.
Please.
Thank you.
Phew.
I don't want to live without him!
Crowd cheers
Stupid woman!
I'm warning you, atkins! Bloody rubbish!
No more rudeness out of you.
Come on, in you go.
Why's there no association?
Because you already had extra you shouldn't have outside, didn't you?
Oh, Jesus.
Night-night, Sylvia.
Wake me up when the bar's open.
Hang on.
What's happened in here?
Just a few home improvements, miss.
It's not a crime, is it?
It will be, atkins, if I find you've been doing deals.
That's all right, then.
No chance.
Home early tonight, then, sir.
Just as well.
I'll be thinking of you.
Give the threes another quarter of an hour and then take them up.
Hello again.
On my recce. It all happens here, doesn't it?
You'd better believe it.
You must be a bit disappointed how things have turned out, Jim.
It's not all bad. I'll be seeing you every day.
Ok, thanks.
Helen.
What are you doing here?
I thought you were absolutely fantastic up on that roof
and I'm sorry, Helen, I've got to tell you.
You're gorgeous.
I'm totally in love with you.
Nikki...
There's nothing I can do about it.
Well, I can.
Hello?
Can I speak to mrs fenner?
