On the subject of Helen Stewart, I think she's gone awol.
You've got a baby boy.
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.
You're on prison issue paper. But who? Who'd do that, Jim?
Wade.
We need to keep a close eye on him. He's withdrawing from drugs.
No.
Morning, Jim.
Brilliant, den.
I'm totally in love with you. Nikki...
There's nothing I can do about it.
Well, I can.
Please.
I don't want to live without him.
Can I speak to mrs fenner?
This is mrs fenner.
You poor cow. Sorry? Not surprised, married to him.
Jim.
Who is this?
He gives shell dockley a seeing to in her cell, you know.
Did you write those letters?
You can hear them groaning all down the wing.
What is it?
Hello?
What's going on?
Well, you tell me. First letters, now calls. About me and dockley?
Message: The caller withheld their number.
Withheld their number. What did she say?
Same as the letters, pretty much. I mean, who is this, Jim?
I told you, it's one of the cons with a grudge against me. There's plenty of them.
What does she sound like?
It's hard to say, but it's funny how this shell dockley's name keeps cropping up.
And what's that supposed to mean? Look, she's a slag.
Loads of people have it in for her. That's what it's like in a women's prison.
They're bitching and moaning at me all day long. I expect something better when I come home, all right.
Present for you, Jim.
'All my love, mr fenner, from a secret admirer.'
let's see.
You!
Who are they for? The gangster's mole. Yvonne.
I had you there. You did too.
I'll just leave them there for a few hours,
let them dry out.
They'll die if you do that. So?
Feeling any better?
Oh, yeah. Can't you tell?
Well, at least you're safe now, eh?
You weren't really going to jump, were you?
What's it to you?
You should have let me do it. I'm not worth saving.
That's half your trouble. You think you're worth nothing.
Look at me. Oh, come on. It's not that bad.
Miss Stewart's going to let you back on the wing.
Oh, big deal! That's going to make all the difference, isn't it?
Yeah, it is a big deal. You'd be kept in here for a month normally after what you did.
But she thinks you need help and support, not more punishment.
I never did anything wrong.
You nearly killed your baby.
You put two officers' lives at risk, not to mention yourself.
Didn't sleep a wink last night,
thinking about you on the edge of that roof.
Does that surprise you?
Yeah.
Suppose it does.
Well.
I've already had to cope with Rachel Hicks dying on me.
I don't want another, ok.
It's got to be Nikki Wade. That's what I thought.
But how could she get to a phone at that time of night?
Unless it is someone on the outside.
Maybe Wade's using a mobile.
How could she get one of them in here? She never has any visits for a start.
Anything's possible.
Hmm, maybe I'll give her cell the old one-two.
I wonder who else knows?
Look, it's just bluff.
It better be. You can get cut bad for shagging a screw, you know.
Who's going to protect me if that happens. Just calm down, will you?
Leave it to me, all right.
You look worried. Hi, Karen. She's a troublemaker, you'll see.
I didn't expect to see you again.
Small world.
That was quite a night at that conference.
Must have been, what, four years ago?
It's so long ago I've forgotten all about it.
How's that son of yours? Ross, isn't it?
He's at college now. What, already? Yeah. I miss him.
I'll be drawing that pension quicker than I think.
And how's Stephen? Are you still with him?
Another time, Jim, yeah? Sorry.
Memory Lane's nice and all that, but right now I'd rather get on with what I'm doing here, ok.
Oh, mr fenner. Thank god we've seen you. We are having terrible trouble.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. One at a time. What is it?
It's the laundry room. The washing machine. It's leaking.
A washing machine's leaking. There's water everywhere.
So it's the end of the world, right? It's all right for you, sir, you do your washing at home.
All right. I'll come and sort it out. Thanks, mr fenner. We knew you'd understand.
Just give us a minute, ok? Right. Come on, ju.
Uncle Jim!
I won't say that's very funny. Yeah, just as well.
I've told you once and I'm not telling you again. You know the rules as well as me.
But I need a card for my mum. I need three weeks in The Bahamas.
I haven't got the money. I've got at least three quid.
You've got 25p. That'll just about buy a kit Kat.
Oh, go on, give her a card. She's come in specially on her birthday.
And you two can pipe down.
Buy a Mars bar, Denny. I'm sure mrs hollamby will find a good use for it!
I'm glad you're so amused.
I didn't know you cared, miss.
Do you want to a kit Kat or don't you?
So you've not worked in a women's Nick before?
Only for a couple of months. It's been mostly men.
I'm looking forward to the challenge. Well, you get that here all right.
Well, they say women are more difficult than men.
Well, they're not easy.
So all advice gratefully received.
You should speak to mr fenner. He's the expert on women around here.
Is that right?
I hope that's not a serious conversation I'm hearing.
I don't want that while I'm putting my feet up. Bloody woman.
Who? Yvonne atkins.
Cheeking me off in front of the riffraff.
Who does she think she is?
Rule number one, Sylvia, don't let them get you.
We're not all icicles like you.
Nothing gets to him.
Oh, I can believe it.
Why don't you show Karen round when you've got a minute? Yes, ok.
And take Yvonne her flowers. They're starting to smell.
Well, that's an idea. We can go now, if you like.
Yeah, whenever. How are they doing?
Very nice.
They could use some water.
They could, couldn't they.
Come on, let's go.
Present for you. Oh, thanks, miss.
Could you get me a vase?
I'll arrange them, if you like,
and come in each day and spray them for you.
These are half dead.
Oh. Oh, so they are.
You did this deliberately.
Now, this is what's called paranoia.
It affects most of the inmates in here.
The grander they are, the more it gets to them.
These are from my husband as well. They must have cost him a fortune.
Pin money to a man in his profession.
He probably has an account with the florist, does he?
All them funerals he has to go to.
I think you better go, miss.
Good idea.
Them flowers are starting to go off.
Come on, hand it over.
Just what is your problem, mr fenner?
Listen, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Where is it?
I suppose an explanation's out of the question, is it?
All right, if that's the way you want it. Up.
Just tell us where it is, love. Where what is?
Oh, come on, Wade. Don't make it hard on yourself.
I'm warning you, fenner.
Don't even think about it.
So that's where it is. What?!
Amongst all this crap you read.
Thrown it out the window, have we?
You are a total bastard.
Come on, Nikki... don't you touch me! You're as bad as he is!
Assistance! Get off me!
Shouting
come on! I haven't done anything!
Right, take her down the block now.
Shouting
Careful you don't electrocute yourself.
I'm touched you care. What are you doing anyway?
What does it look like I'm doing? The light's gone, hasn't it.
Damn it. You're not very good, are you?
I'll have to check the connection.
I'll see you later, Princess. I am not your Princess, all right.
I take it he's not your boyfriend then.
He's ok. He fancies himself a bit.
Do you want some? Nah, no thanks. You keep it, love. I've got plenty.
You deserve it after old body bags having a go at you.
Yeah. She's such a cow.
Is it true you've got no money to buy your mum a card?
I'm on minimum spends, ain't I, two fifty a week. Buys you piss all.
I should have saved a bit, I suppose, but... what? She don't send you nothing?
She's in a hostel the other side of London.
She can't afford to visit, let alone send me money.
She's got problems then? Recovering alcoholic.
She was in here not so long ago. First time I've seen her in ages.
Why was that then? She walked out on me, didn't she.
Still, we made it up, you know.
It would kill me if I couldn't send Lauren presents.
How old is she? Lauren?
She's 21. Same age as me.
Come to think of it, she might be able to help you.
Yeah? Yeah. Me and all, while she's at it.
Face it, Nikki, you gave us no choice.
Bastards.
Some people never learn. You'd better go and report this, Dominic.
Tell miss Stewart that Wade is in serious trouble and why.
I could still let you off the hook. Just tell me where it is.
It's in your dreams, fenner, that's where it is.
Fancy earning some cash?
No, it's not drugs, I swear. It's nothing dodgy.
All you've got to do is bring a package in.
You must think I'm cuckoo, yeah? You can open it and check.
It's just underwear. Fancy bras and knickers.
And how much do I get?
50 quid. For bringing some underwear in? Yeah.
Got to be a catch. There ain't.
All right, 100. Oh, come on, man. Sorry, love. That's market forces.
I've got my overheads to think about, remember that.
A tip off from whom?
Well, it was Jim who knew, but he wouldn't say.
Nikki Wade taking drugs. I thought it was a bit out of character.
But then she got all defensive and she hit me.
But you didn't find anything? No.
All right, Dominic, thank you. I'll look into this straight away.
Any luck? He wants 100. Greedy bastard.
Move along. We haven't got all day.
What's another 50 quid if it's one in the eye for old body bag.
Here, den, we've got something for you, darling. Show her, ju.
We've been making a birthday card for your mum. No way!
Yeah. That's her before she come here.
Yeah, and that's you alone in here, all sad.
Oh. Oh. And that's two of you together again. Happy! Happy!
Nice, isn't it? It's just brilliant. Thanks.
Yvonne, look. Look what they've done for me. To give to my mum.
Oh, that's sweet.
Yeah. Look at you both smiling. Yeah.
Are you going to come and sit with me, den?
Erm... yeah. Yeah, ok.
Don't want you going astray, do we?
I gather you had a problem with Nikki Wade. I think that's putting it mildly.
You searched her cell without another officer present.
She's up to something. I had to move quick. Really? Just trust me, will you?
I don't think I like this unorthodox approach of yours, Jim.
Well, I know you have a special interest in Nikki Wade.
I'll call you every time I have dealings with her in future, shall I?
Did you find anything?
No, not this time.
Look, I know I'm not on her Christmas card list, but she took a swing at Dominic.
I'd say she had something to hide, wouldn't you? Ok.
I just want to make the most informed decision I can.
I've seen prisoners shipped out for less.
Let me be the judge of what happens, all right.
You're on.
This must be one hell of a pair of knickers.
Outside the gate, Monday, visiting time.
There'll be a young woman, about 20, well-dressed.
What? Do I get her as well?
She'll give you a package and some cash.
Keep the money and get the package to me, yeah? And then what?
Are you going to put them on for me?
You are so sad.
Ok, Nikki, this is it. I have given you every chance to make things better for yourself here.
They're lucky they're still alive. Oh, that's really intelligent talk.
Do you honestly think I've got drugs in my cell?
If an officer suspects you of having... don't give me that!
Fenner's as bent as they come and you know it.
I will not have allegations of that kind made against my staff.
You're already on the block for a week.
Don't make things any worse for yourself.
The bastard was chucking my books around!
You only have those books because of me.
Any more of this crap and I will take them away. What? You heard.
You're only behaving like this because you can't handle it.
So why don't you give in, miss, and stick your tongue down my throat?
You just don't get it, do you, Nikki?
Telephone rings
Hello.
Jim not back yet?
Now, look here... must be putting in a bit of overtime.
Question is, who's he putting it into?
I have just about had enough of this.
He might be a bit shellshocked when he gets back, know what I mean?
The police have been informed about you, you know.
Oh, excuse me while I shit myself!
Any fool can tell lies over the phone.
It's proof you want is it?
Well, mrs fenner, I can do that.
I can give you all the proof you need.
Telephone rings
Hello.
Hi, mum.
No, we haven't forgotten.
I'm just off to work. Can I call you later?
Yeah, lots of love.
Oh, this is really getting me down, Jim.
It's been all weekend. You think I'm enjoying it?
You said you'd tell the police. There's nothing they can do.
You can get your calls intercepted by these phone people.
We're going to have to change our number otherwise.
She's found it once, she'll find it again. Not if we're ex directory. Look, just leave it to me, ok?
Call you later.
Regular little Aladdin's cave, isn't it?
Do you want something, miss?
Just checking you're still alive.
That's something you shouldn't joke about.
That wouldn't be a threat, would it?
What's that, miss?
Because they don't bother me. It's part of the job.
Got nothing to worry about, then, have you?
We've had your type before.
They never win.
What did she want?
Just trying to upset me, darling.
Just giving her a lesson in how to do it. Cow.
How are you anyway? Are you all set for your mum?
Yeah, I can't wait.
You got any make-up?
No, shut up. Come on, you've got a lovely face.
You should smarten yourself up for her.
She wouldn't even notice if I had a head transplant.
Here. Try some of this.
No, I don't want it.
Sit down.
No way...
Stop going on.
Now...
..Just close your eyes and enjoy it.
Lauren, is it? Josh? Yeah.
That's the package and that's for you.
I'm going to check this, you know that, don't you?
I'd be worried if you didn't. I don't like working with tossers.
Hard at it? I'm the sort who needs to know it all before I can relax.
Control freak, huh?
You might know more about me if you'd bothered to phone all those years ago.
Well, why don't we go out for a drink sometime this week? I don't think so, Jim.
Come on. We've got to find some way of working together.
Which is why I'm not coming out for a drink.
Oh, how's Marilyn?
She's great. Never better.
So you're still together?
Oh, yeah. Rock solid, we are.
Jessie?
Denny's mum?
What's happened to her? Nothing.
Look, I'm a friend. Lauren.
She didn't say nothing about no Lauren in her letter.
No, it's ok.
This is for you. Happy birthday.
You take care now.
Ten phone calls over the weekend. Ten?! It's driving us both nuts.
You need something to take your mind off things.
Not until I sort this out, ok. It could take forever that.
You're going to deprive me all the time?
I'm desperate for it, Jim.
I've been thinking about you all weekend. Keep your voice down.
All right. I'll come during lock up, ok?
You won't regret it.
I promise.
Delivery boy ok then? Put him in some decent clothes and he would be.
I meant, did he do the business?
Mum, really, I know what you meant.
Yeah, he was fine.
Any word from your dad? He's still in Spain. Sends his love.
That old cow's getting right on my tits.
So that's body bag?
She looks a right bitch.
I wonder what dad would do if he knew about the flowers.
Oh, no. I'm going to have some fun with her first.
You all right, mum?
Happy birthday. Thanks, love.
It's really good to see you, you know.
I got you a card.
Do you like it? Oh, it's lovely.
I don't understand. Well, it's your birthday, ain't it.
That envelope I got outside. Birthday present.
You haven't got that kind of money, den.
Who's that? A new mate.
You're not in any kind of trouble, are you?
No. She's been really kind, that's all. She wants to help me.
She wants us to have a nice birthday together.
And we're having it, ain't we?
No visitors? For a change.
Look, if you ever want to talk about things, then I'm always here.
And if you don't, well, that's fine, too.
Mr McAllister.
Yeah.
I just wanted to say, erm...
Thanks for what you did for me on the roof and that.
What am I going to do with 200 quid?
Treat yourself or save it for a deposit for a flat.
Get out of that stinking hostel.
I can't afford to buy a flat. No, rent one.
You'll still need a deposit.
I'll still need to find the rent each week.
Yvonne said there's more where that came from.
She's not going to support me forever.
No. I'm not going to be in here forever either.
I'll get out and we can live together.
I can't take it, Denny.
Not after the way I've treated you.
That's all over now, mum.
We're a family again now and that's how it'll be when I get out.
We'll look after each other.
I don't deserve you. Stop all this now.
If that's how you feel, take the money and stay off the booze.
Oh, I have. I've not touched a drop.
Well, that's good.
We've got to help each other stay clean from now on, so promise me, yeah?
I promise.
All right, that's enough kissing and cuddling.
Time's up.
Well? Is that an interjection or an inquiry after my health?
Don't get smart with me, Nikki. Who are you anyway?
It's Helen Stewart I want to see. Is it now?
Well, I better warn you, I'm not the kind of officer who runs errands for prisoners.
Well, as long as you piss off when I ask you to, frankly, I couldn't give a toss.
I can't work out if you want trouble,
or whether you're just stupid.
But either way, you're in for it. Go on, then.
Everything all right?
The prisoner has been demanding to see you
in language of an insulting nature.
I'm putting her on report.
So no improvement in your behaviour.
Is that a no? It's a piss off, like I just gave that other tart.
Are you going to put me on report as well?
Why are you being like this? Can't you see what you're doing to me?
And what about what you're doing to me?
Don't make this any harder for me.
Yeah, must be hard getting angry with someone you've snogged.
Oh, please, Nikki, be serious.
I want to make love to you all night long.
Is that serious enough?
I know I knock fenner,
but at least when he fancies a con he has the courage to give her one.
You shouldn't have screwed them up, Josh.
The dst were out front this morning. What do you expect me to do?
Did they search you? No, but I weren't taking no chances.
Would you do it again? Yeah. Yeah, why not.
As long as they're not for Dolly Parton, eh.
That might be a bit tricky.
What's going on here?
Erm... I was just fixing this machine.
What are you doing? I've been doing some drying.
You're spending a lot of time in here just lately.
Yeah. That's cos these machines keep playing up, especially this one.
Are you sure about that?
Yeah. Look at this.
Oh! You stupid...
What's going on?
Get up, Nikki. We're moving you out.
I'm sorry they're crushed.
I don't give a toss, darling. Main thing is I got them.
And body bag got soaked.
That is so sweet.
My mum was really pleased about the money. I'm glad.
She might save it for a deposit for a flat, you know, to rent.
Yeah? That would be nice.
I've got something to look forward to for the first time since I've been in here.
Getting out and being with my mum. That's the main thing.
Telephone rings
hello.
Have you gone shy on me, mrs fenner?
It's about that proof you said you wanted.
Look, who are you?
Ah, you are there. Good.
You just stand by this afternoon just after two.
I'll give you a ring. No need to speak.
Just put your shell like to the phone...
..And you'll hear all the proof you need.
At least tell me where I'm going.
Hello.
You just listen to what your Jim gets up to.
I'll catch you later.
I'll see you again in about five.
I thought I told you to clear this pigsty up, dockley.
I'm sorry, mr fenner. Is it really bad?
Do you want to get back on enhanced or not? Look at it.
Am I a filthy slut, mr fenner?
You're a whore, dockley.
That's what you are.
Don't you like whores?
I give them what they deserve.
Oh, yes.
Oh, just there. You like that, don't you?
Oh, yeah. Your wife's a lucky woman getting this every night.
I'm living with her, but it's you I'm thinking of when it matters.
Oh, Jim.
Jim. Oh, yeah.
Oh. Oh.
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
Oh, oh.
Harder, Jim.
Are you still there, mrs fenner?
Yes.
Is that proof enough for you?
Jim, your wife's at the gate.
My wife? Says she wants to see.
Marilyn.
What is it now? She hasn't been phoning again has...
Marilyn, what's going on?
Ask your phantom caller.
What? I've just heard you at it, Jim!
She planted a phone in the cell.
So you think of her when it matters, do you?!
I knew something was going on!
Your shirts aren't ironed!
Change of clothing for the locker.
I've just been to see Simon. I suppose you should be the first to know.
What's that then? Shipped out Nikki Wade this morning.
This morning? Before lunch.
Happy now?
Hello?
I need the loo.
Can you hear me?
They move cattle in better conditions than this!
Where are you taking me?!
Are you ok? No, I'm not, as it happens.
What's wrong? Jim, what is it? I can't talk here.
Let's go inside, shall we?
You're never going to believe this. What?
That bloody Nikki Wade only stood outside while we were having our way.
No. How do you know? Because she phoned it into my wife.
Oh, shit.
I'm in big trouble, shell. Has Marilyn spoke to you yet? Yeah.
Unless Wade planted it in here.
How could she have done that? I'd have found it.
How could she stand outside with a mobile without being seen?
Look, I don't think it's in here, Jim.
See, I told you.
Although, hang on.
What?
She's clever.
She's a sodding bitch. Wait until I see her.
Why? What would you do to her?
I'm going to cut her until she bleeds.
What? Like this, you mean.
What are you doing?
Nikki Wade was shipped out this morning.
It couldn't have been her.
Well, it wasn't me, I swear.
What's this, then? A false tit?
Jim, don't!
No, Jim! No!
You evil piece of shit.
She cries
what's happened to you? I think you'd better go in.
I told you she was trouble.
What happened?
Nothing, miss. What?
I fell. For god's sake.
I want to know what happened, shell. The truth.
Shell, you better not be making this up.
It's true, miss. He thought...
He thought what?
He thought I was ringing his wife.
Someone's told her I was having an affair with him.
And were you? Yes, miss.
He's been forcing me to.
How long has this been going on?
He's been doing it for years.
He said if I told anyone he'd kill me.
He done the same to Rachel Hicks.
He had sex with Rachel.
At first he thought it was Nikki Wade ringing her.
That's why he gave her cell a spin.
He wound her up so she'd do something stupid, get herself shipped out.
And then he realised it couldn't have been Nikki,
so he turned on me.
Why would he do that?
He found a mobile phone in my cell. I know I've done wrong, miss.
I was only ringing my mates. I never phoned his wife, honest.
It would be pretty stupid of me, wouldn't?
Is there anything else you want to tell me?
No, miss, that's it.
You better go and get some treatment.
Miss betts will take you to medical.
Put me through to allocations.
I expect you'll know what this is about, Jim.
Shell dockley, by any chance?
This is a very serious allegation she's made against you.
That she's made against me?! Huh!
I might have known.
She says you assaulted her.
She tries to kill me and I get accused of assault.
Perhaps you'd like to give us your version of events.
Well, I was walking past her cell and I heard her talking.
I popped my head in and I caught her with a mobile phone.
I tried to take it off her and she just went berserk.
Well, I managed to hold her down,
and she started banging her head on the floor.
Obviously, she was gonna do herself serious injury. So I got out.
Karen betts was outside, so I told her to go in and help.
Where's the mobile now?
She's still got it.
Dockley says you took it.
Obviously, she's got rid of it then.
That was two hours ago.
Why didn't you report it?
That's exactly what I have done.
It's all there.
Chapter and verse.
Jim...
..Has your wife been receiving anonymous phone calls lately?
Not that I know of, why?
Well, dockley said that you told her she had.
What kind of calls?
Accusing you and dockley of having an affair.
What? She says it's true.
Well, she's a liar.
She says you forced her.
Do you think I'd risk my career and my marriage for that?
She is deranged.
You know that there'll be a police inquiry into this assault.
Good. I'm pleased to hear it.
They'll want to speak to mrs fenner.
Fine. I'll let her know.
Right. Unless there's anything else?
No, I think that'll be all for now, Jim.
Excuse me, sir!
These are extremely serious allegations.
Until they're proved or otherwise,
mr fenner's position here is untenable.
I recommend that he be suspended on full pay pending an inquiry.
I think that's a little extreme, don't you?
I'd say it was standard procedure myself.
Unfounded allegations of dubious provenance?
Look, either he goes or I go.
If you don't care what goes on in this prison,
I'll take it up with area management.
I thought I was being shipped out?!
What are you doing?
Ask your precious wing governor.
Thanks for backing me up.
You left me no choice, did you?
But you do agree that we did the right thing?
I'm not sure I do, no.
So what do you propose?
Well, he's been suspended now.
He can stay off while we have some kind of inquiry.
I don't see him being away much longer than that.
So it will be the usual whitewash job.
Jim fenner's one of our best officers.
Hold on a minute, Simon.
That man has just beaten up one of our inmates.
That's her story. And it's one that I believe!
I also believe that he was having an affair with her.
I've suspected it for a long time.
He was doing the same with Rachel Hicks. And there's probably others.
This is all conjecture.
We've been here before, which is why we need a full investigation.
Why else are you suspending him, if not for that?
Well, there are procedures.
Oh, so that you can be seen to be doing your job,
so that it doesn't affect your promotion?
Now, look here, Helen. I've had enough of this.
That's it, Simon. Pull rank.
Just sweep it under the carpet.
Can I remind you that I am in charge in larkhall
whether you like it or not?
Well, I don't like it!
I don't like it one bit.
You bastard!
All shouting abuse
Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?
Shouting continues quiet!
Nikki, I want to apologise.
You told me you were provoked by fenner.
I have reason to believe you now. Oh, well, bloody marvellous.
I'm shipped around the country in a cattle truck
while you work out the obvious.
I said I'm sorry.
So what's brought this on then?
Fenner's just been suspended
over a suspected relationship with an inmate.
Not shell dockley, by any chance?
Listen, Nikki, about what happened today...
I let my emotions cloud my professional judgment.
I thought I could fight them, I was stupid.
What are you saying?
I won't be looking after your case any more.
What?
I've resigned.
Helen, you can't do this to me, this isn't fair.
Listen, I've just suspended Jim fenner
when I'm guilty of the same offence. In thought, if not in deed.
So what now?
Well, I'm not your jailer any more.
Which means I can do this.
What?
Say you'll visit me.
Please.
Say you'll visit me.
Nikki, it's too difficult.
Helen, you can't leave me like this.
This is shit!
Shit happens.
Helen walks away
