It's gotta be Nikki Wade. I haven't done anything! Leave me alone!
I don't think so, Jim. Oh, come on.
Gotta find some way of working together.
Which is why I'm not coming out for a drink.
Don't make this any harder for me.
Yeah. Must be hard - getting angry with someone you've snogged.
Any fool can tell lies over the phone.
Oh, it's proof you want, is it?
Phone rings they breathe heavily
oh, yes!
At least tell me where I'm going.
What is it now? She hasn't been phoning again, has she?
Jim grunts shell cries out
don't, Jim, don't!
These are extremely serious allegations.
Until they're proved or otherwise,
mr fenner's position here is untenable.
I won't be looking after your case any more.
What?
I've resigned.
There you go, Steph.
There's nothing today.
Sir, have you got anything for me?
Sorry, zandra.
One for you, though, Denny.
Yeah?
Hey! My mum's coming next visiting.
Bully for you.
Mr fenner been banged up yet, miss?
Trouble with you lot is you don't know when you're well off.
We liked mr fenner, didn't we, ju? He was always very kind to us, ju.
Yeah. Kind to her as well till she went and blew it. Hm.
Lost our favourite screw cos of you and your lies. Lies.
Who are you calling a liar?
He never give you a slapping. Slapping.
What d'you call that, then?
Oh, probably done it yourself.
Bollocks.
You do us all a favour and get yourself a transfer.
Yeah, give us some peace.
Don't need to now.
Cos fenner's getting sacked.
Door bangs
you all right, Nikki?
No.
I thought you'd be celebrating now Jim fenner's gone.
Yeah?
Maybe I'll crack the champagne out later.
One for you.
What?
Door bangs open
dad?
What you doing in here?
Come on, you two. Get yourself ready for school. Come on. Chop chop.
I thought I told you not to bother coming home.
Where am I meant to go?
I haven't even got a job any more.
Found out about you and dockley, have they?
It's worse than that.
The little cow says I assaulted her.
And did you?
It was set up.
Dockley's been chucking herself at me for months.
Ah, and you just couldn't resist.
I tried.
But she just kept on and on at me, day in, day out -
innuendo, propositions.
Oh, I understand.
You couldn't help yourself, could you?
Most men wouldn't last a week inside larkhall.
Don't play the bloody victim.
Look, I know you're upset.
And you've every right to be.
Jim sighs what I did was stupid and wrong.
But we can't just Chuck away 12 years of marriage
because of one stupid mistake.
Please, Marilyn.
Knocking on door
come in!
Morning, Karen.
Sit down.
Thanks.
I'll come right to the point.
Helen Stewart's resigned as governor of g-wing.
Oh, my god, that's a turn-up.
This obviously leaves us with a problem.
With Jim out of the running, owing to his... Current predicament,
we've got no-one to run g-wing.
I see.
So I want you to take over.
Me?
Wing governor?
Interested?
Well...
..I'm flattered, obviously.
It's a big promotion.
I wouldn't offer you the job if I didn't think you could do it.
Well, I hope I can do it.
From the little I've seen, it's a bit of a hornet's nest.
Perhaps now that certain personalities have gone,
things should quieten down a little on the wing.
You mean Jim.
Well, actually, I was referring to Helen Stewart.
Oh.
Can I ask why Helen resigned?
You know...
How should we put it?
Man management problems, usual thing.
She never really got the support she needed from those below her.
But I know you won't have that problem.
I'll expect the support of those above me too.
Of course, Karen. 100%. You know that.
Room service.
D'you want us to come back later?
No, you're all right.
Yeah, you should hang a card in the door saying, "do not disturb."
Yeah, or, "please make up the room now." Julie giggles
'ere, Julie?
Yeah?
What was your married name?
Dawson.
Why?
You any relation to Eddie Dawson?
Eddie the drill?
Yeah. He's my ex's dad.
'Ere.
Have a look at that.
"Eddie the drill Dawson,
"one of south London's most notorious gang leaders.
"He leaves behind one son and three daughters."
Does it say how he died?
Slowly, I hope.
And in as much pain as possible. They chuckle
what, you two didn't get on?
Don't get her on the subject of Andy's old man.
He never forgive me for marrying his precious son. Treat me like dirt.
Why was he called Eddie the drill?
Because he was a big diy enthusiast.
Why d'you think?
'Ere, I wonder when the funeral is.
Why, you thinking of sending a wreath?
Laughing: Yeah! A great big one in the shape of the word "bastard".
They laugh 'ere you are.
Er... next Wednesday.
"The funeral cortege will leave for brockwell park cemetery at 2:00 pm."
You know what this means, don't you, ju?
No.
Martin and Rhiannon.
It's her kids.
Andy's bound to bring them over for their granddad's funeral.
They'll be in england, ju.
Course. They'll come over.
Hey. Maybe they'll meet my mum.
She's coming next visiting time and all.
Fat chance.
Don't you want them visiting you in prison?
Course she does. It's that bastard man of hers.
He ain't gonna let 'em come, is he?
Well, no decent father's gonna stop his kids seeing their mum.
Yeah, well, he's got a court order against me.
Horrible sod.
Yeah, you said it.
If only he'd let 'em write.
Or even send a picture.
My own kids.
I don't even know what they look like any more.
Hiya. Dominic McAllister.
Di barker.
I've seen you around, haven't I?
Yeah, I'm a transfer from h-wing.
Oh, good, yeah.
Well, we could do with some experience round here.
Sylvia, this is di barker, Jim's replacement - from h-wing.
Welcome to the madhouse.
The natives are restless out there.
I'm not surprised, after what Jim did.
There was a time when a prison officer
was given the benefit of the doubt,
especially from his colleagues.
Change day is nigh, di.
Yeah, well, I was never comfortable about him and shell dockley.
Why don't you go and put the boot in with miss Stewart?
God forbid the man gets a fair trial.
Still, at least you didn't go snitching on him
like some I could mention.
Snitching?
It was a serious assault.
It's not only Jim who's going to suffer, you know.
They're going to make all our lives a misery, including yours.
Mark my words.
Morning, everybody.
Oh. Morning, sir.
Morning.
I know there's been a considerable period of unrest on g-wing,
for whatever reason.
And I'm sorry to have to tell you that Helen Stewart
has decided to leave larkhall with immediate effect.
I'm sure we all wish her every success in her future career.
And I'm very pleased to tell you that Karen betts is to take over
as wing governor, with immediate effect.
I'm sure you're all going to make her feel very welcome.
Now, I know Karen has a few words she'd like to say to you. Karen.
Thank you, Simon.
I'll just...
Sure.
A madhouse.
What if you was to go to the funeral?
Eh? I can't turn up uninvited.
Andy would get the police.
He wouldn't want to cause a scene at his own dad's funeral, would he?
You might be onto something there. Course I am.
We'll get an application for a compassionate license,
we'll fill it in, and we'll give it to mr McAllister. McAllister.
Yeah.
I'm gonna fight her. Marilyn laughs
oh, I'm glad you think it's funny.
If I lose my job, you can kiss goodbye to all this.
You'll have to get another bloody job.
Get real, Marilyn.
Ex-prison officers aren't exactly in great demand,
especially when they've been booted out of the service.
Look...
..If you don't help me out of this mess, we're in deep shit.
Oh. We're in deep shit, are we?
I just want to make sure you know what's at stake.
Dad, there's a policeman at the door.
Julie: So come on, pretend, ju, yeah?
Yeah. I'm mr McAllister,
you're about to hand over the form,
and I want you to look really sad, like you can't face the world, now Eddie's gone.
Julie chuckles you ain't meant to smile!
I know, but whenever I think of Eddie dead it makes me smile.
They won't let you go to the funeral if you tell them that.
D'you wanna see Martin and Rhiannon? Yeah, of course I do.
Can you make yourself cry?
Julie fake sobs
Julie sighs
how's that?
Hang about.
Get smelling.
Julie inhales deeply
again.
Julie inhales deeper
anything?
No, nothing.
Julie sighs god.
Close your eyes.
Why?
Just do as I tell ya.
Keep 'em closed. Hm.
Open 'em.
Julie screams
oh! Ju!
Ow!
Now I know this has come as a bit of a surprise to some of you,
but I'm not gonna make any apologies.
I've been appointed to the job.
It's the job I want to do and I'm going to do.
I'm not someone who's soft on inmates,
but I will not tolerate lazy, negative officers either.
Oh, and one other thing.
If you've got a problem, tell me to my face, ok?
Wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of her.
Talk about out of the frying pan into the fire.
You should be pleased.
One of us getting the top job.
And won't she just love lording it?
You watch.
She'll be out of that uniform into a suit faster than Clark Kent.
Come on, I'll show you the wing.
Excuse me, mr McAllister, sir, can you come see Julie?
I'm ever so worried about her, sir.
Yeah.
Yvonne: How's your mum?
That little bit of extra money come in handy for her?
Yeah. She never had that much money in her life.
Had a letter from her today.
She's coming next visiting.
Oh.
'Ere, your pal, Josh...
He couldn't run an errand for us?
Long as you stick to gear that's easy to bring in.
Oh, yeah, of course. It's a little heart pendant I got from Tiffany's.
It's got a teeny weeny diamond in the middle, I just miss it.
Julie sniffs and you say it's her father-in-law who's died?
Yeah, but it was more like her real dad, the way she spoke about him.
Aw, the poor thing.
I've never heard her mention him before.
Ju's a very private person.
Can I give you this, sir?
What is it?
It's an application for a compassionate license,
so she can go to his funeral.
Is it now?
Oh, I'm sorry, love,
but I'm afraid it's only close blood relatives
that can go to funerals.
Excuse me, miss whoever you are,
but we're talking to him.
Hey! Less of the cheek.
This is miss barker.
Can't you both see how much she's suffering?
Di sighs I'm sorry, sweetheart.
If it was up to me...
I suppose they've gotta draw the line somewhere.
There's no way you could have hit out in the heat of the moment?
I took evasive action, which is what I'm trained to do.
Look, it's all down in my report.
She says you were having an affair.
Well, it's crap.
Why would I wanna do that?
I'm a happily married man.
Marilyn exhales
well, that's all for the time being.
What now?
Your word against hers.
I know who I'd believe,
but I'm not the cps.
You reckon it'll go to court?
Prisoners' rights are very high on the agenda these days.
Hm. Who knows?
Cheers. Cheers.
Oh. Very pally.
I'm facing assault charges.
Do you know what it's like for an ex-screw in prison?
Come on, you two.
Go and get your coats on, quickly.
If - and I mean if - I was to help you,
I'd only be doing it for the children.
Chattering
bloody rubbish place.
I just wanted to see my kids for half an hour.
Shell: Tell me about it. I wanted to go and have my belly button pierced.
They wouldn't have it. Shut your face, you heartless bitch!
Well, why should she get special treatment? She's no different from anyone else.
Well, you got plenty of special treatment off Jim fenner.
Till you went and blew it.
Cut your bleeding nose off to spite your face there.
I'll cut your bleeding nose off in a minute.
Yeah?
Just try it.
Yeah.
No-one's scared of you no more, dockley.
Not now lover boy's gone.
You're just one of us now.
Marilyn sighs
right, what do I put?
"Dear miss dockley..."
Jim exhales I can't believe I'm doing this.
Look, ain't she gonna find this a bit fishy?
Me writing a letter to her?
I want her to think that she's broken up our marriage.
Well, that shouldn't be a problem.
Put something like, um...
"I hope you're satisfied now."
Look, why don't you write it?
I mean, let's face it, you're the one that knows her so intimately.
Look...
..She's gonna believe it if it comes from you.
If she believes it, maybe she'll do something about it.
She's not gonna drop the charges. Not after what you did to her.
Look, Marilyn, do you want me to go to prison?
Marilyn sighs start again.
Erm, put, erm...
"I'm writing this because I want you to know
"the full extent of the pain and misery that you've caused."
'Sup?
Hey. Got another job for you if you're interested.
Depends what it is, I suppose.
She wants you to bring in a piece of jewellery - a necklace.
Same deal as last time.
Why you doing this? You getting a cut or summat?
Looking after my mum, innit.
Gonna get a place together when I get out.
Sweet. Hm. Yo, crystal?
Give some of them teabags.
Why, so you can sell them on to buy drugs with?
No. So I can make a cup of tea, bitch.
Well, if you want tea, you can go to the servery.
Ooh.
Who's she?
She scoffs aw, forget it, man.
She's in love with Jesus.
Right.
Can we hurry this up, please?
This floor's like a skating rink.
Johnson!
I'll be back in five minutes.
If this isn't finished, you're on report.
Floor squeaks inmates laugh
serves you bloody right.
What did you say...
..Madam?
She didn't say nothing, miss.
Quietly: I said it serves you bloody right.
You dried up, old bag!
Ju!
I think we're going to have to make an example of you, girl.
Oh, no, miss, she ain't in her right mind, miss.
Saunders!
Mop this up now!
As for you...
This way.
Ju! Hubbub angry shouting
Get in that cell!
Cell door bangs shut
you can stew in there till your adjudication!
What's going on here, then?
Julie j just lost it.
Had a right go at hollamby.
I got a little something in the post this morning.
Guess who from.
I don't know.
Well, have a freaking guess.
I can't.
Shell sighs I'll give you a clue.
"Dear miss dockley,
"I'm writing because I want you to know
"the true extent of the pain and misery you have caused me."
Millions of people could have wrote that, shell.
I just keep reading it over and over,
trying to picture her writing it.
Picture who?
Fenner's wife, shit for brains.
No way!
Yeah, and listen, it gets better.
"You'll be glad to know that Jim has now left me.
"He says he feels nothing for me any more.
"And he says the only woman he cares about is you."
Hear that?
He's in love with me.
Yeah, right.
His bloody wife says so.
He's left her. It says so in the letter.
Pity you're never gonna see him again, then, innit?
Jim: Well, obviously I'm disappointed. Jim sighs
apart from anything else, I was hoping to spare Marilyn the ordeal of a trial.
Like I say, I've got nothing to hide.
And, um, thanks for calling in person.
Ok, Simon. I will.
Thanks. Bye.
Simon says hello.
They're going ahead with the prosecution?
Jim sighs they believe dockley and not me.
Marilyn laughs because she's telling the truth.
Why isn't the little bitch playing ball?
She must have got that letter by now.
Oh, dear.
Maybe she's not as in love with you as you think she is.
You'll just have to write another, won't ya?
This time lay it on really thick.
And what good is that gonna do?
There's no way I'm going under for that little bitch.
Doorbell rings
Hello. What are you doing here?
I haven't come at a bad time, have I?
No, no, no. Come in.
I always knew me and Jim were special.
Is that why he beat the shit outta ya?
Yeah, well...
I was asking for it, I suppose,
finding his wife like that.
Look, I've told ya,
find yourself a new screw, shell.
Jim fenner's well out the picture.
Ju?
Ask 'em to let you out.
Can't be bothered, ju.
I miss ya, ju.
Julie exhales ju?
I ain't never seen her like this, Yvonne.
I give her this dream, see, that we get out and we'd
search the whole of america, and we find her kiddies.
Now they're only a bleedin' bus ride away,
cos of their stupid rules she ain't allowed to see 'em!
That's a crime.
I tell you, if someone stopped me seeing my kids...
If she don't see 'em when they're over here, they're gone for good.
She's gonna give up.
Well, I think it's an absolute disgrace, the way you've been treated.
If it was up to me, we'd all be out on strike.
A few years ago, maybe, but...
..Nowadays everyone's out for number one.
Karen betts certainly didn't let the grass grow under her feet.
Why? What's she done now?
You haven't heard?
Heard what?
Helen Stewart's resigned.
And guess who's got her job?
Jim sighs
hello, Charlie.
Hiya.
How are you?
No, no, no, listen, listen.
Are you going to Eddie Dawson's funeral?
No?
Well, I think you should.
There's a really big favour I want you to do for me.
The sly bitch.
I just wish there was something I could do.
Well, actually, there is something.
What?
I hate to ask.
Jim, I said if there's anything I can do...
If I could just talk to the girl for five minutes,
I know she'd drop all this nonsense, but I can't.
So the next best thing is to write her a letter.
How does that involve me?
You could take it in for me.
Hey.
Well...
If I post it, I risk it ending up in the wrong hands.
I could be done for knobbling a witness.
Oh, I don't know, Jim.
It's highly irregular.
If anyone ever found out...
Oh, come on, Sylvia.
It's only a letter.
You could be saving my career.
I feel like we're stooping to their level.
Can you imagine what betts would do
if she saw me walk back on that wing? Hm?
Hm? They laugh
Julie still banged up?
Yeah.
How's she coping?
She cried all through the night last night.
Listen, you tell her that I fixed it for her -
for her kids to visit her next week.
What? You ain't?! Yvonne chuckles
how d'you manage that?
My Charlie's gonna sort it.
Oh, Yvonne, you're a doll!
'Ere, Nik! Nik, you hear this?
Yvonne's fixed it to have Julie's kids brung in!
Oi! Don't go broadcasting it.
My Lauren's taking a risk here.
What's it got to do with your Lauren?
She's fetching him in.
How's she gonna do that, then?
Stick sacks over their heads and sling 'em in the boot of her car?
No. No, but Yvonne, how is she gonna bring 'em in?
Julie has to send Lauren a visiting order.
Then when they go to the funeral,
she goes to Martin and Rhiannon and asks if they wanna visit their mum.
What if they don't want to?
If they don't wanna visit their mum, I can't wave a magic wand.
Yeah, but no trouble. I don't want ju getting upset.
Listen, I'm trying to do your pal a favour here.
You wanna forget it, you just say the word.
Hello, love. Move it, dockley!
What's this?
Julie: It's a visitor's order.
And you wanna fill it out to miss Lauren atkins.
Who?
Yvonne's daughter.
Oh, no, ju.
I can't be bothered doing nobody no favours right now.
Ju...
She's bringing Martin and Rhiannon in with her.
Well, how can she do that?
Don't ask no questions.
She just is, all right?
Get writing.
I went to visit Jim last night.
How is he?
How do you think?
The man's shattered.
It's a tragedy.
Well, you never know. He might get off.
Do you read the papers, Dominic?
There's no such thing as a fair trial
for a prison officer in this country.
You're paranoid, sylv.
I've got good reason,
especially now she's in charge.
Out to make her Mark, isn't she?
No matter who has to suffer in the process.
Why don't you stop bitching?
It's all you bloody do.
Well, excuse me!
Some of us care about the service.
And if you're the future of it, Dominic, heaven help us.
I'll tell you what damages the prison service.
Bent officers.
People who step over the line.
"You grease my palm, I'll grease yours."
Assaulting prisoners when no-one's looking?
That's right, Dominic.
You slag us all off if it makes you feel happy.
I think it's time you lived in the real world, young man.
All I'm saying is... yeah?
Oh, forget it.
I don't know why I bother.
Anyone fancy a cuppa?
Don't you let 'em get to you, now, ju.
Good as gold, ju. Promise.
What they doing to Julie? It's her adjudication, innit.
Clicks tongue bastards. She should've poured that water
right over old body bag's head.
She was gonna, for a minute - she went mental.
She ain't right in the head.
She ain't seen her kids for over a year.
That sort of thing wouldn't bother you cos you're weird.
I don't see my kids cos I don't want 'em seeing me here in this shithole!
I get plenty of photos and letters off 'em.
They know who I am.
At least I haven't got a court order stopping me from seeing 'em!
I'll swing for you one of these days, I swear.
Just try it.
It's her fault.
You're out of order, shell.
'Ere, shell.
You got a letter. Eh?
It's from Jim.
Bleedin' hell.
"Dear shell, I know I'm taking a big risk doing this,
"but I had to write and say how much I'm missing you.
"I love you, shell, and I can't bear being apart from you."
He wants you to get him his job back.
It's obvious.
He wants me back, that's what's bleeding obvious.
So he can slap you about again?
"I am so sorry I hurt you.
"I don't know what came over me.
"I just wish there was some way I could make it up to you."
Well, there ain't, is there?
But Jim wouldn't have written all this if he didn't mean it.
He misses me.
And I miss him.
We belong together.
Well?
Well... they're taking my private spends off me for two weeks
and a week's remission.
Aw, it was worth it, though, to see hollamby's face. Face, yeah.
'Ere, I'm ever so grateful to you for what you're doing.
I'm a mum myself, Julie.
It will be all right, though, won't it?
Course it will, I've told ya. Don't ask no questions.
The less you know, the better, all right?
Now, what you gonna wear?
Oh, there's this thing I'm making.
What d'you think?
Can I be honest with you, ju?
So... everything you told us,
everything you told the police,
it was all lies?
I made it all up, sir.
I wanted to hurt him.
Why?
I made a pass at him - more than once, as a matter of fact.
He didn't want to know.
I hated him.
I'm sorry. This is ridiculous.
It's true.
Carry on, Michelle.
Anyway, he came to see me to tell me it had to stop.
I was so angry, I just lost it.
I lashed out at him, really went for him.
And he threw me off.
That's how I got the bruises.
I'm really sorry, sir.
Why the sudden guilt trip, shell?
It ain't sudden, I've been worrying about it for ages.
So what made you decide to come in here and tell the truth?
I wouldn't have lied, if you hadn't...
If I hadn't what?
Well, it was you put the idea into my head.
Asking me if it was an officer done it.
Telling me to report it.
I didn't tell you to lie!
All right.
I've heard enough.
Take miss dockley back to her cell, would you please, Dominic?
Well, it's obvious what happened. Is it?
Jim fenner's got to her and persuaded her to change her story.
And how has he managed that exactly?
You're telling me you believe that crap? Anyone can see she was lying.
She wouldn't be the first prisoner to launch a vendetta
against an officer. Oh, come on, Simon.
Don't take this the wrong way.
But if there was an element of you coercing her... what?
Not intentionally, of course.
This whole thing stinks. You know that as well as I do.
What you or I think is neither here nor there.
What matters as far as the police are concerned is hard evidence.
There's plenty of evidence.
You're not thinking of dropping the matter
just because she's changed her mind.
There has to be at least a full internal inquiry. I insist.
Costly and pointless. If, for whatever reason,
Michelle dockley withdraws her allegations,
Jim fenner has no case to answer.
Hi, Polly. Afternoon, frank.
You're back, then. Oh, yes.
Indistinct chatter
My heart's going ten to the dozen.
Don't worry, it's going to be all right.
I won't know what to say.
I'll clam up as soon as I see them. No, you won't, now calm down.
Hey. Just got this. What do you think? Oh, very nice.
Bet your mum would like that as well.
Good luck, then. I'll be thinking of you. Oh, yeah.
You not got no visitors today?
What's it to you whether I have or haven't? I'm nosy that way.
Is that a Bible?
Well spotted. It's funny, you get a lot of religious folk in prison.
Not if that chapel's anything to go by you don't.
I'm Josh, by the way.
Well, bye, Josh.
Can I remind you all to stay in your seats, please?
You're late. Sorry. I got held up. Yeah, we'll, you're here now.
There you go, it's in the envelope. Thank you.
We all set, then?
Come on. You do want to see your mum, don't you?
Your mum not here yet? She probably missed the bus.
Martin! Rhiannon! Over here, darlings.
Oh, I'm so thrilled to see you.
I thought you weren't coming.
Well, sit yourself down, then.
You look gorgeous, both of you.
Can't tell you how much I missed you.
Did you miss me?
What you been up to, then, eh?
Come on, I want to know everything.
What's america like? It's all right.
Do you like it, Martin?
Don't mind.
Look, I know you must feel awful having to come here
when you haven't seen me all this time, but we ain't got long.
We gotta make the most of it.
Do they keep you locked in a cell all day with bars on the doors?
Shut up, Martin.
They call it a room, Martin.
They usually only lock it at night.
Has it got rats? Martin! I'm only asking!
No, no, darling. Ain't got rats.
It's quite nice inside, actually.
Auntie Julie and me made it lovely.
Your auntie Julie sends her love and says she's sorry she can't see you.
It's not as bad as it seems in here.
Honest.
Sod off. I'm not sitting with those sad gits!
She'll be here in a minute, all right?
Nobody's going to show up now. Come on. Let's be having you.
I said sod off. Come on, walk back to the wing with me.
Come on.
To be honest, sir, I can't think what possessed dockley to make those stories up in the first place.
I'm just glad the whole sorry mess is finally over and done with.
Unless she changes her mind again.
I don't think that's likely, do you?
Who knows what goes on in that head of hers?
If there's nothing else there, i'm quite keen to get back on the job.
Surely you won't want to put yourself in a position
where you can be wrongly accused again.
Dockley made a fool of herself.
I'm sure she'll be keeping a very low profile from now on.
Wouldn't it be better if Jim was moved to another wing?
What kind of signal does that send out to the women?
A signal that we take incidents like this very seriously.
They'll think we've got something to hide.
I was cleared of all the charges. That's not the point.
I'm sorry, ma'am, but I think it is the point.
All the situation needs is a bit of goodwill from all sides.
You're absolutely right, sir.
I'm sorry. Now, if you don't mind...
I think I'm probably the last to congratulate you on your promotion.
Ma'am.
She wouldn't just not turn up. There's got to be a reason.
Is there no way you can get in touch with her?
I sent her money and everything. She must be sick or something.
She wouldn't let me down otherwise. I know she wouldn't.
Have you made loads of friends over there? Bet you have.
Are you a prostitute?
Just...
Dad says you're a prostitute and you're not fit to look after us.
That why they put you away?
It's just your dad trying to turn you against me.
I told you it was lies, didn't I?
It is, isn't it, mum?
I don't know how to say this.
If your dad had looked after us properly in the first place...
Why?
I don't want to get into all this.
I'm just telling you, it's not black and white.
I broke the law and I got caught.
But that don't mean I'm a bad mother.
Do you think I'm a bad mother?
Haven't seen you for ages.
No, but before I got put in here, was I? I mean, say if I was.
You were a good mum.
I'm not trying to make excuses...
Who are those two children sitting with Julie johnston?
Dunno. They're not her children, surely.
I know for a fact she's barred from seeing them by a court order.
..And I'm so sorry,
but I'll make it up to you.
I promise I will!
Excuse me. Do you mind telling me who these children are?
This is a private conversation! Are they yours? Yes, we are.
I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Leave them alone,
you fat cow! Please let them stay till the end. Leave it, will you?
What harm is it doing?
They've no right to be here in the first place.
It's in breach of a court order. Come on, up.
Visit's nearly up, they'll be gone in a few minutes!
Can I have some assistance over here, please?
You stay put! I wanna say goodbye to them!
Hurry along. Move it. I wanna say goodbye to them!
Don't take them away!
She shouts and cries
Hello, Nikki. How the hell'd you wangle your way back in? Miss me.
Oh, I get it. There's been a cover-up. I might have known.
Shut it, Wade. You're not teacher's pet any more
now your little miss Stewart's gone.
So you better keep that nice and clean.
Enjoy that, did you? Separating a mother from her kids?
Why is she separated from them? Ask yourself that.
Pleased to see me?
Well, you can get off your soapbox now, can't you? Don't start.
It's no wonder you look embarrassed.
You had Jim fenner hung, drawn and quartered.
And there he is. Totally vindicated.
Not ignoring me, are you?
Course not. I just don't want people getting the wrong idea, that's all.
I hope you're grateful I done what you asked.
Sounded pretty desperate in your letter.
It had never gone to court, though.
No-one really believed a word you said. Yeah, they did.
Nah, just going through the motions, that's all.
You do you love me, don't you, Jim?
Christ's sake.
Why don't you announce it over the bloody tannoy?
You meant what you said in your letter, didn't you?
Course I did.
It's just that we've got to be even more careful than ever now.
They're going to be watching us like hawks. Go on, hop it.
I'll try come see you later when it's quite, all right? Yeah.
He's an evil bastard.
Yeah. What with him and hollamby.
She did it out of spite. No other reason. Fat slag.
Did you see the smile on her face?
She loved every minute of it.
Evil, she is. Bleeding evil.
Now that fenner's back, they're untouchable, the lot of them.
I dunno about that.
There are ways and means to get back at 'em.
She sobs
They've taken them away from me!
They've taken my babies away from me!
All right. I didn't even get their address in america!
She sobs
sh, sh, sh, sh.
Oh, I've missed you. Come here.
I'm sorry, I can't do this. What do you mean?
It's not because I don't want to. So what's stopping you, then?
I can't lay myself open to any more threats.
You won't be.
That letter I sent you, telling you about my feelings... yeah.
You could use that letter to blackmail me if you wanted to.
Why would I do that?
If you were angry with me. You've already done it once.
Things are going to be different now.
I'm sorry.
Here.
Have the sodding letter.
Go on. Burn it, if you want.
Any more incriminating evidence in here?
Like what?
A letter from Marilyn.
How do you know she wrote to me?
Cos I told her what to write.
I don't understand. Oh, I think you do.
Do you really think I'd leave my wife for a little slut like you?
You bastard!
I'm going straight to the governor.
Oh, yeah? What are you going to tell him?
You've changed your mind again?
I don't think he's going to believe you, somehow.
In fact, I don't think anyone's going to believe a single word
you ever say again, so you better be on your best behaviour, sweetheart.
Can we have a word in my office? Sure.
Don't you want to check dockley's still alive first?
Everything all right?
Yes, ma'am.
Door closes
I told you not to go into dockley's room on your own.
I just had a chat, that's all. Clear the air. Let her know
there's no hard feelings.
You think you can get away with anything, don't you?
I know you hit dockley.
And somehow, I don't know how, you got to her.
I hope you're prepared to put your theory to the test.
Or else my union... if I were you,
I'd consider applying for a transfer. Would you now?
I don't want you on my wing. I don't trust you.
That's a shame. Cos I'm staying put.
In that case, you better hang on tight. You're in for a rough ride.
Indistinct chatter
Shell?
What's happened?
He conned me, Denny.
The evil bastard conned me.
Put more Polish on it, make it thicker.
Dominic? Yeah.
You're a personal officer to how many prisoners?
Well, it used to be four but bi barker's taken two of my hands.
So you're having an easy time of it? I wouldn't say that. Why do you ask?
I'm thinking of making a few changes. Ma'am. Michelle dockley?
She's coming.
Taking your time, aren't you?
Careful. You all right? I'm all right. I'm perfectly all right.
All talk over each other
she yells
Jesus!
Sylvia?
