You killed Katy Trent?
It was an accident.
You fired that gun.
I wasn't aiming at her, all right?
I didn't see her, none of us did.
But you were trying to shoot someone, to kill them.
I'm still the same person you just kissed.
No, you're not.
Rose...
So... So what are you gonna do?
Look, I know you can walk away from all of this
by giving up my name -
but if you have any feelings for me whatsoever...
Go back to your cell, please...
Rose... I only told you because I can't lie to you no more.
Back to your cell.
Please.
My life will be over.
Miss Gill?
Rose?
Rose!
What?
Have you heard from Jax?
No. She's never late...
PHONE RINGS
C Wing.
How far away is she?
Thank you.
What is it?
The minister will be here within the hour.
Huh!
What are you doing?
Just handing in my menu sheet.
Don't look so worried, bro.
What kind of notice is this to give?
The kind that stops the cons finding out,
planning their idea of a welcome.
What do we know about her?
Apart from the fact that she's almost here?
I'm looking her up now. Anya Forsyth.
Oh, I've actually seen her on Question Time.
You don't watch Question Time.
I do watch question time. Don't I, Don?
Yeah, watches everything, quite something.
All I know is she's still quite new to the job and pretty hardline.
Oh, she's that "Let's be tougher on criminals
"and build more jails" one, isn't she?
Yeah, exactly, yeah - she says prison works
and we should focus more on victims of crime...
Right, well, if she wants more jail spaces,
then why would she close us down?
We'll be repurposed, not officially closed.
Become a YO unit or an immigration centre with new staff,
lots of PR about positive action after what happened to Toby.
Anything else?
Er, yeah. She... lives on a farm.
Right, and how does that help?
Well, you never know.
I mean, did you know that sheep have rectangular pupils?
It's a true fact.
So are we unlocking?
No. Erm...
The men'll stay behind their doors until the visit's over.
They won't like that.
It's standard procedure for a ministerial visit,
we can't take any chances.
Just unlock those who need to be out...
Most of the wing watches Question Time, by the way...
I need you all to focus.
We'll give her the grand tour,
and then, erm...
...we'll unveil the new mural, so get everyone working on that.
And what are you doing with that?
Don and Troy Walker are planning on surprising Larry
with a Johnny Cash song. It's on his bucket list.
Can you do that today?
We've only had one rehearsal.
How are they going?
It's great. It's terrible.
Troy's a bit nervous, that's all.
The lad is so petrified he can't sing in front of me,
never mind anybody else.
We could use a lot more time.
So could Larry.
He, er...
He may only have days left now, you know.
Just do your best. All of you.
That's all for now.
Miss Gill.
What did Costa say last night?
I know you're angry about Stephen Childs...
I couldn't give a shit about Stephen Childs.
DOOR SLAMS
TANNOY: Ladies and gents, there will not be a normal regime this morning.
I repeat, normal regime is cancelled until further notice...
Come on, man. Need to let us out of here.
What's happening?
Do you think there's been another suicide? Maybe, yeah.
Or they're worried that we've found out something
we're not supposed to know.
Like what?
Like the fact we were wrong about Reeks.
CREAKING
For definite?
As soon as we get out, we do him.
Yo, yo. Leave my flap open, bro.
You said you were sure about Reeks.
Things change.
Well, if someone thinks they know who the undercover officer is,
won't they just attack him in his cell?
Nah.
Half of the wing wants a piece of him,
it'll happen when we're unlocked.
Now you look worried.
Do I? Mm.
What?
Is there something you wanna say?
I'm saying...
...you're the pig.
Well, I'm not.
And as soon as we get out, you're dead.
Where've you been?
The minister's on the way.
Yeah. Morning to you, an' all.
How'd it go with Pat?
He's gutted, like the rest of us...
I didn't mean Jesse.
Yeah, I know what you meant and I don't want to talk about it.
He took it badly?
SIGHS: Oh, God, how's that not talking about it?
You need to let me be part of this.
You've said it yourself, how many of the rats in here
have got no relationship with their dad?
I mean it's no coincidence, is it?
I've never called them rats.
I need this, Jax.
Please don't take it away from me.
Not now. All right?
Mr Hemmings. You're needed on the PID.
When are we being unlocked?
Why? Are you all right?
Fine.
Got a visitor coming,
I want you to be on your best behaviour.
Yes, Miss. You'll be unlocked later for tea-making.
Come on.
Miss Gill.
It's impossible to avoid anyone for very long. It's a prison.
At least let me explain.
What is there to explain? You lied to me.
I didn't lie.
I just... didn't tell you everything.
There's a difference. Is there?
Yes. I think so.
At least, it's not black and white.
Especially when you care.
What if Childs asked you to keep quiet about what he did?
Would you have?
That would have made me as guilty as him, wouldn't it?
Him confessing was the right thing to do, for everyone.
Why do you ask?
It's OK.
I understand. I get it.
Wait, how did your meeting with Costa go?
I'll speak to you later.
Will you help me with the minister?
It's a big day.
Yeah. Just give us five minutes.
BANGING ON DOOR
Miss Henry?
Hello? I need to speak to someone!
Minister, this is Leigh Henry, custodial manager.
Welcome to C Wing.
Thank you. I've heard a lot about you.
Hello?
Where is everyone?
SHE KNOCKS
What is it?
What did Costa say?
I'm getting closer. Not good enough.
You need to get a name, before this wing unlocks.
Has something happened?
Yeah, my time's run out.
Hemmings knows who I am.
You've got to get out of here.
No. Look, I came in here for justice, right?
I'm not leaving without it. This is more than a job to me.
If you'd viewed Katy's body,
if you'd sat with her mother,
seen what this whole thing has done to her family,
I think you'd understand.
So push, Rose.
Please.
Do whatever it takes to get that name,
for your sake as well as mine.
RADIO: Miss Gill. You're needed on the Ones.
Bitch.
My goodness, it's very loud.
Have I interrupted feeding time?
It's not a zoo.
Don't you always say noise is good,
that if they're too quiet, it means they're probably up to something?
It's actually fairly subdued now, considering.
Maybe I'm just not used to it.
I had the honour of opening a brand-new prison last week,
and I was impressed by how quiet it was,
until I realised there were no actual prisoners there yet!
This is Rose Gill, our newest recruit...
And a star of the future, according to Miss Henry.
We were just talking about the noise.
Yeah, the men don't like change to their routine, do they?
I need to talk to you about Morgan.
Ah, don't tell me -
you've cancelled the normal regime because of my visit.
Please don't do that.
If they're usually unlocked, please unlock.
In order to make any kind of decision,
I need to see the reality of the wing in action.
I guess the ethos of what you've been working to establish here
is all about trusting the men so...
Commendable, but trust has to be earned, doesn't it?
You could argue that.
Or you could say, on the outside we trust people until they let us down.
So why not in here?
In that case, why aren't you unlocked?
You're right.
Here you go.
A quarter of these men here are in care.
Half have mental health issues.
Ethnic minorities are massively over-represented.
The average reading age is 11.
Yeah, the addicted, the homeless, the abused.
Most have already been let down by the system
at least once by the time they come to us.
They struggle with responsibility cos they're not used to it.
Isn't that right, Miss Gill?
Yeah, most of the men feel more comfortable
being disciplined or told what to do.
Yet despite all that,
everything seems to be running remarkably smoothly.
Because of the changes Miss Henry's made.
Can I introduce you to Wade Hemmings?
He runs our Prisoner Information Desk.
He's one of our success stories.
Hello.
I've seen you before.
On Question Time. Oh.
Thank you, Mr Hemmings.
What is it?
They know about Morgan.
Who does?
Hemmings. I don't know who else.
I'll take care of Hemmings,
you just make sure that Morgan stays banged up.
Right.
...certainly for prisoners like Hemmings
with some nascent behaviour issues...
Mr Shah?
Would you excuse me just for a few minutes?
There's something I need to attend to quite urgently.
Is everything all right? Would you mind showing the minister around
the refurbished learning centre? Hello. Hi.
I've seen you on Question Time.
Yeah, nice to meet you. Yeah, follow me.
KNOCK AT DOOR
It's me again.
Mr Carpenter.
Don.
You can call me Don -
but if you do it in front of the others, I'll nick you.
I want to do this,
and I know how much it would mean to Larry, but...
But what?
I don't want to be the centre of attention.
You know, I... I don't...
I hate feeling like people are looking at me, and...
I just want to... be.
I've made a career out of disappearing into the background.
I can recommend it.
The days are nice and easy.
But they're also long.
Don't hide your talent, kid, and don't waste your days,
life's too short.
You ask Larry.
Come on, man.
DOOR OPENS
There's something you should know,
and I just need you to shut up and listen, all right?
So, about two o'clock this morning, I lost the baby.
Erm...
I was bleeding, so I went to the hospital.
And there was no heartbeat.
It's gone.
What are you doing here?
I'd already told Pat about the baby before it had happened, so...
I can't bear to go home.
Right.
I'm really sorry I'm only just telling you now, but...
...I know what you're like...
...and I know that you're gonna lose your rag,
and hit something or someone
and I...I can't spend all my energy talking you down.
And I'm not doing it, all right? I'm...
I'm past caring whether you can change.
Do what you need to do, all right? But...
You leave me out of it, please.
DOOR OPENS, CLOSES
CLAMOUR OF VOICES ECHOING

DOOR OPENS
What's my success story doing?
You need move out of my way.
I can't do that.
I won't ask you again, Miss.
I believed in you, Wade.
And I told you not to, more than once.
Now fucking move, man.
And what if I don't?
HE LAUGHS
Come on, then!
Let me out of here! I swear to God, I'll fucking get Morgan!
I promise. Or someone else will.
BANGING ON DOOR I swear to God!
Morgan?
Erm, Mr Campbell,
will you bang me up again, after I've made the tea?
I'm just... I'm not feeling great.
Oh, just get on with it.
Can I use the phone?
Got no credit.
We'll see, when you've made some fucking tea.
Oi. No, no, no. Hey...
What are you...? Sh... You can't be in here, what are you doing? Sh.
I only wanna talk.
Hey, just...
We both know who you are, that's not why I'm here.
We can both still get out of this in one piece...
What do you mean?
She told you, didn't she?
Yeah.
Did she tell you it was an accident?
Why don't you tell me your side of the story?
If I do, we can make a deal, all right?
Just tell me about Katy Trent.
The target was a guy who was selling where he shouldn't have been.
It was just a chance to step up.
I don't even know where she came from. All I...
All I know is...
Go on.
I never meant to kill her.
Now I know that you're gonna make a deal.
Rose told me that much.
What kind of deal?
There were four people there that day.
I know everyone.
Now, you keep me out of it,
and there's all sorts of information I can give you.
Yeah, if you live long enough, eh?
What about Rose?
What about her? She knows the truth.
Leave her to me.
But you've got feelings for her now, haven't you?
No, of course not,
because I think we both know that you're not capable of that.
You don't know anything about me.
Morgan safe? He's not there.
He were gone when I got there.
Gary must have unlocked him to make tea...
Ugh.
I will consider a deal.
Usually.
But not for murderers of innocent teenagers.
There can be no negotiation there.
None.
I'll kill you. I'll fucking kill you.
All right. All right.
Hey...
Lock the door.
Stay the fuck back.
Louis... I don't want to talk to you...
Louis, put the weapon down.
If you come in here or you hit the alarm, I'm gonna kill him, I swear.
Whatever the problem is, if you just open the door
and put the weapon down, we can talk about it.
You know what the problem is!
Don't act like she hasn't told you as well. Told me what?
I haven't told anyone anything. Liar!
Louis, you need to calm down.
Just step back. You're too close to this, I'll handle it...
No, this is my problem, and it were me he told.
Told what?
That he killed Katy Trent.
That's what you were talking about earlier, wasn't it?
You were really considering keeping this a secret?
No.
Get up!
Stay still. Stay the fuck still.
Louis. Listen to me.
I didn't tell Morgan about Katy, and he knows I didn't. Tell him.
Whichever way you look at it, he is right, you are a lying.
Did she tell you or not?
She's been lying to you from the very beginning, mate.
Every word she told you, I told her to say.
What's he saying, Louis? Let me in and we can talk.
No! I should never have trusted you.
You've got to believe me. I haven't told him anything.
Even though I should've, and I needed to.
And the reason I didn't tell him
is because I care about you, and you know that's true.
I didn't come here to hurt him.
You haven't hurt anybody yet.
Point is, like the boss says, yeah, no responsibility, yeah,
it means no self-worth, yeah?
And nothing good comes from that, you know? Innit, Don?
Right. How's it going?
Very well, I think.
I'm pleasantly surprised so far.
Miss Henry's responsibility agenda
seems to have really permeated the wing.
Do we think she'll be joining us soon?
I'm sure she won't be long.
Look, just put down the weapon.
If I kill him now...
If I kill him, we're both off the hook, aren't we?
Louis, you're not thinking straight.
He's the only one who knows the truth about everything.
So, if he's gone, we just keep it between us,
and your boss will protect you, won't she?
Rose, I'll be looked after in here
and when I get out, me and you can still be together.
Whatever you feel for him, you can't let him do this.
Louis, if you do this, if you kill him,
there is no future for anyone.
Your life will be over, and you'll be a murderer.
I'm already a murderer!
That were an accident.
That's what you told me - and I believe you.
And I believe you when you said that you're truly sorry.
But this isn't an accident,
and all that guilt and all that regret you still feel over Katy...
...it'll be twice as bad this time.
Don't you want to be with me?
Tell him the truth, Rose, no more lies.
The truth is, no.
We can't ever be together.
You are a prisoner and I'm a prison officer,
and I've made a commitment. So if you're gonna kill him,
don't do it for anybody else but yourself.
But I don't think that's who you are.
You're a good man, Louis, I've seen it.
If you just confess to killing Katy,
take your punishment and... and do your sentence,
by the time you get out, you'll have a whole life ahead of you.
Unlike Katy, eh?
You'll have years left with your son.
You never know, one day, he might even be proud of you
for making this choice.
How long will I get?
What does it matter, eh?
Prison's nothing to you, is it?
Holiday camp. I've seen you.
You can carry on dealing your drugs,
having a laugh with your mates, it's a fucking joke.
None of us can go back and change anything that we've done.
No, it's too late.
You can do the right thing now.
Start banging the wing up, please, quickly and quietly...
I'm sorry.
He's going straight to Seg.
Fucking joke. He's a fucking animal.
Are you OK?
Well, what an absolute pleasure, Mr Shah,
I really feel like I've learned something.
I should just say goodbye to Miss Henry before I go.
Minister.
You know she's right.
You will have a whole life after this.
Agh!
That's not justice, is it?
That's for Katy.
Agh!
Louis?
Louis!
Morgan!
Morgan... put it down.
Prison's not enough for some, is it?
It's OK.
You're gonna be OK.
Rose...
It was real... me and you. Wasn't it?
Yeah.
Down. On your knees now. Now.
Got him? Yeah. Got him.
Minister.
The minister really needs to leave, Miss Henry.
Of - of course.
Probably a bit too much reality. Sorry you had to see that.
I'm sure you are.
I need to brief you both fully on the circumstances,
it's not as simple as it seems.
I came here with my mind already made up, Miss Henry,
that this wing is only fit for closure.
But your ethos, and most of all, your staff, made me question that.
Ultimately, though, actions speak louder than words
and it's pretty clear to me that C Wing is a lost cause.
It seems to me you're way too focused
on the needs of those who have committed crimes,
when the primary focus of the entire system
needs to be the people who've been harmed by them.
These men are here as punishment.
Your sympathies are misplaced and that's why C Wing is failing.
With respect, Minister, the wing isn't failing.
Oh, really?
It's the system itself.
For someone so invested in responsibility,
you don't seem too keen on bearing any.
I've spent all my career trying to make this work.
But it doesn't. It can't.
Not while people in your position
still call opening a new prison an honour.
Leigh... An honour?!
A new prison should be a matter of shame.
For all of us.
What exactly are you so proud of?
We imprison more people than any country in Western Europe.
It has absolutely no affect on the crime rate.
The only thing we're good at is getting the same people in,
again and again and again. It's... It's broken.
But you don't give a fuck about that, do you?
Because apart from anything else,
you know you'll be gone within a year.
You don't have to take responsibility for any of your decisions,
so why should any of us?
Have you finished?
No.
Virtually all the men in here will come out at some point,
and they'll be back on your street.
What kind of people do you want them to come back as?
We can go on punishing and punishing -
being punished doesn't make anyone accountable.
That's just vengeance. Vengeance is not justice.
The murder of an officer,
a suicide last night - and if that prisoner dies,
the killing of a prisoner, all within a few months.
And it still doesn't occur to you
that the real problem here might be you?
Are you saying that C Wing has a better chance of staying open
if I'm not here?
Then there's only one thing to do, isn't there?
DOOR OPENS
How you feeling, sweetheart?
I'm at least half dead already, aren't I?
Course I am.
Do you want me to get the nurse?
I don't mean the cancer.
I mean, because I killed.
You take a life,
you kill yourself at the same time, don't you?
Nobody tells you that, do they?
Course they don't.
There's no going back.
You look nearly as bad as me.
Just need a little sit down, that's all.
Been a long day.
I know it's easy to say, but...
I suppose death's just part of life, innit?
The meaning of life, some say.
Still cruel, though.
You only realise how precious it is
when it's taken away from you.
DOOR OPENS
Any news?
He's at the hospital, in surgery.
Morgan really will be one of them now.
Prison's a great leveller.
You did well in there.
I heard about what happened, with the minister.
You wouldn't really leave, would you?
If it means you lot staying, then... yes.
Maybe she's right. Maybe I am the problem.
Look at Hemmings.
All I've done is more harm than good.
She's not right.
We need you, all of us.
Mugged me right off. Fucking mugged me right off.
Cos I'm a fucking dickhead.
Absolute fucking knob head.
I swear to God, let me out of here
and I'll fucking... KNOCK AT DOOR
Right. You can go back to your own cell now,
Mr Shah's up there for you.
What? Am I not going to Seg?
No. CM's orders. You're to stay on the wing.
She says she'll come and talk to you when she can.
Does she ever give up?
Do you really want her to?
KNOCK AT DOOR
All right, Leigh.
I need help.
Good.
Larry won't let me call a doctor
so I think if we're still gonna do this thing for him,
it had best be now.
What's all this?
Er, well, it's not exactly Johnny Cash,
but it's the best we could do.
You ready, kid?
