Exterior shot of Blackmoor in daytime

Inside Joan is laying in her dark cell as Len opens the door and comes in

Len - Good morning Ferguson, did you sleep well?

Joan - Bloody awful, this bed is like sleeping on concrete

Len chuckles

Len - I suppose you could do with some breakfast could you?

Joan - What the hell do you think? I'm starving, I have not eaten since yesterday lunchtime

Len turns around

Len - Alright bring it in

A smirking Marie enters the cell carrying a plate of food

Marie - Well well well if it's not my old mate Joanie. Mr Murphy told me you were here, but I found it hard to believe

Len - That's right Ferguson, Winter has rather a distrusting nature, she insisted on seeing it for herself

Marie sits beside Joan

Marie - Mr Murphy insisted I bring you some food, he was worried you'd be pretty starving by now

Len - That's right, gotta look after my girls

Marie holds the plate out and Joan tries to take it but Marie drops it all over the floor

Marie - Oh dear me, look what I've gone and done

Joan - You stupid clumsy fool!

Len - If you want it so badly why don't you get on your hands and knees and eat it off the floor

Marie chuckles

Marie - Yeah like the dog you are

Joan - Get stuffed! I'd rather go hungry!

Len - Oh but we can't have that

Len drags Joan off the bed and forces her to the floor and pushes her face in the food

Len - EAT UP FERGUSON!

Joan - YOU MONGREL MURPHY! YOU FILTHY DISGUSTING MONGREL!

Exterior shot of Wentworth

Inside Marty is in the governor's office with Janice, he is not wearing a uniform

Janice - Unless I'm mistaken you are meant to be on duty this morning, so may I ask why you are not in uniform Mr Jackson?

Marty - I'm not in uniform because I don't work here anymore. I've come in to tell you I quit right now. I am going to clean out my locker and leave for good

Janice looks annoyed

Janice -This had better be some kind of joke Jackson!

Marty - It's no joke, I'm going right now

Janice - Well I have news for you boy, you can't simply leave just when you feel like it, you have to give reasonable notice so that we can find a replacement in good time

Marty - I am leaving today and that's that

Marty turns to leave

Janice - JACKSON! I HAVEN'T FINISHED WITH YOU LAD!

Marty - Well I'm finished with you, goodbye

Marty walks out of the room, Janice is fuming

Colleen is in reception when Brumby is brought in in a wheelchair, Colleen looks shocked

Colleen - Tucker? What happened?

Brumby looks bitter

Brumby - Morgan put me in a wheelchair

Colleen - Morgan did that to you? Hell, I knew she was a nasty piece of work but this?...

Brumby - She threw me from a car, now thanks to her I'm probably gonna be stuck in this thing for the rest of my life

Janice is marching along a corridor where she bumps into Meg

Janice - Mrs Morris! Just the person I wanted to see

Meg senses Janice's bad mood

Meg - Oh yes? Is something wrong?

Janice - Yes something is wrong, some things very wrong. I wondered if you were aware that your son has just handed in his notice and is leaving right away, regardless of leaving us short-staffed or the fact he is duty-bound to give reasonable notice?

Meg looks shocked

Meg - I had no idea

Janice - I don't need to tell you what a disappointment that is, and if he hopes for a good reference for future employers he better not come to me for one!

Meg - This doesn't sound like Marty governor, he is normally so reliable

Janice - Yes well he must have got bored of that, decided to rebel

Meg - Is he still in the building? I'll try and talk to him, something can't be right

Janice - He said something about clearing his locker out, maybe you'll catch him if you hurry

Meg turns to rush off

Janice calls after her

Janice - If I were you I'd save my breath, he seemed quite adamant about it

The dining room

The women are having breakfast as Colleen arrives in the room with Brumby. The room goes silent, everyone looks at brumby is shock

Brumby (angry) - I said I didn't want to come here Mrs Powell, I said take me straight to my cell

Colleen - And I told you I want to see you have something to eat first

Brumby - I'm not hungry!

Colleen wheels Brumby over to where Pauline and Helen are sitting

Brumby - Why are you leaving me with this bitch?

Colleen - Look Tucker, don't you think it's about time you let go of this grudge against your mother, you are going to need her support now

Colleen turns to Pauline

Colleen - I'll leave her with you, make sure she eats something

Pauline nods her head, Colleen walks away

Pauline - I'll get you some breakfast...

Helen - No I'll go, you two need to talk

Pauline - Thanks Helen

Helen gets up and walks off

Pauline gently touches Brumby's face, she belligerently pulls away

Pauline - Oh my poor baby, what has happened to you?

Brumby - Morgan has put me in this thing if you really want to know

Pauline - Morgan did this to you?

Brumby - Yeah.....nice of her wasn't it

Pauline - Oh I knew, I just knew something awful was going to happen as soon as i heard the news reports of the robberies the pair of you were doing

Brumby - So you must be feeling pretty smart mother, you were right eh

Pauline - You have no idea how much I wish I wasn't Michelle.....please tell me you aren't going to be like this forever? Please tell me they can do something?

Brumby shrugs

Brumby - They already tried to do something, they performed an operation, the doc did warn me the chances of success were slim and he was right

Pauline - So that's it? There is nothing more they can do?

Brumby - Yeah looks that way

Pauline is crying

Pauline - Oh dear god, my poor child...

Brumby - Yeah well I'm the one who has to live with it not you, so quit with the crocodile tears will you

Pauline - They aren't crocodile tears! And I may not be the one in the wheelchair but you're my daughter and seeing you like this is horrible, so horrible

Helen returns with some food

Brumby pushes the plate away

Brumby - I keep telling everyone I'm not hungry, no one wants to listen it seems

The staffroom

Marty is there cleaning out his locker as Meg comes in

Meg - The governor tells me you're quitting?

Marty - Yes that's right mum... and if you are here to talk me out of it don't bother

Meg - But why, I don't understand?

Marty - Because I've had enough of this place

Meg - But you've always loved your job Marty

Marty - Yeah, before Latham turned up I did

Meg - But now she's gone?

Marty - So the damage is done, my heart is just not in it anymore

Meg - But what will you do now? You know jobs are hard to find right now, you need to save up for yours and Margarets...

Marty cuts her off

Marty - That's the other thing I was meaning to tell you, Margaret and I have split up

Meg - Split up? But...

Marty - She was the one who left me, so that's the end of it

Meg - I don't understand why Marty, you both seemed so committed to each other?

Marty - Well it would appear she's shacked up with a new man now, I think it's her colleague at the drug center, Graham something or other....now I must press on mum

Marty walks off leaving Meg stunned

Inspector Grace is waiting in the interview room as Kelly is shown in

Grace - Good morning Webster...I guess you know why I'm here?

Kelly - Yeah, you want to talk about those silly redheaded bitches

Grace - Yes but not just them, there's the small matter of your brother too

Kelly - I'm glad you mentioned him! I wanted to talk to you about him and tell you everything that happened!

Grace - That's good Webster, we already know what happened but co-operation from you would save us all a lot of time

Grace opens his notebook

Grace - Now why don't you explain to me why you pushed him off the cliff? You're own brother Webster?

Kelly looks ready to explode

Kelly - I didn't push him! Raymond did! She did more than push him, she deliberately let him drop when she could have pulled him to safety

Grace - Do you think I came down in the last shower girly!

Kelly - It's the truth I swear! Raymond killed him not me

Grace - I understand girly, it must be hard for you to admit to killing your own brother. It was an accident, right? You meant to push Raymond and he got in the way? Why don't you unburden yourself, Webster, it must be bloody awful living with the guilt

Kelly - I'm telling you I didn't push him, Raymond did!

Grace loses his temper

Grace - STOP WASTING MY TIME GIRLY! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE LIES!

Ruth is in her cell on the phone

Ruth - I thought it was time we talked business...

...We cut to the governor's office at Blackmoor where Len is sat in his chair with a glass of whisky

Len - I couldn't agree more. How is Henderson shaping up?

Ruth - He is proving to be an obedient and willing apprentice....as for the governor she really needs to learn some lessons on respect but she is beginning to see things my way at least

Len - Excellent....now we should discuss business

Ruth - We will but first I want to discuss Ferguson

Len - Oh? And what about her?

Ruth -I hear she arrived at blackmoor last night?

Len - Yes she did

Ruth - I want her dead Len

Len chuckles

Len - Oh do ya? Well forget that Ballinger, Ferguson is mine and I want her alive so I can make her life a living hell

Ruth - I said I want her dead Murphy!

Len - Yeah and I heard ya. Killing is your answer to everything isn't it Ballinger, don't you have any imagination? Killing Ferguson would be unsatisfactory for me, I have other plans for her

Ruth - You'll do it or so help me I'll...

Len loses his temper

Len - Don't try and threaten me, Ballinger! You know I can have ya so don't try it ever!

Ruth - Ok I'm sorry, I overstepped the mark...

Len - Too bloody right you did....call me again when you're ready to talk business

Ruth - I'm ready to talk business now, lets forget all about Ferguson, you want her she's all yours

Len - Sorry but you have wasted too much of my time already and I have stuff to do, call me later

Ruth - I would like to talk right now

Len - Bye Ballinger

Ruth - Murphy! Don't you dare hang up on me!

Len puts the phone down

Ruth slams the phone back on the hook looking angry

Grace is with Janice in the office

Grace - I have just spoken to Webster about her brother's death

Janice - Did she admit to pushing him?

Grace sighs

Grace - I'm afraid she didn't. she insists it was you

Janice looks shocked

Janice - Me? Oh, but I could never kill anyone inspector...I can barely bring myself to kill a fly let alone a person

Grace - Yeah well don't worry Miss Raymond I don't believe her and I am charging her. It would have made things easier if she had confessed that's all, bloody crims they have to make things so much bloody harder than they need to be

The laundry

A battered and bruised Cheryl is on the press

Vicki looks concerned

Vicki - I can take over the press for ya if ya like Chez

Cheryl - Thanks Vic, but I can manage

Mandy chuckles

Mandy - Trying to show us all what a tough girl ya are eh

Cheryl - It will take more than your fist to beat me if that's what you mean

Mandy - Well you shouldn't be on that press as you are no longer top dog, Mrs Ballinger is

Cheryl - Yeah well in that case where is she? I don't see her here, do you?

Mandy - She told me I can have the press...so you had better get off now

Cheryl - I don't think so Slater, I'm not giving up this press for you, you aren't the top dog I am

Mandy - Fact is Ballinger is top dog now, not you and she said I could have the press

Cheryl - Ballinger can't just take over when she feels like it, if she wants it she needs to be voted in

Mandy - She was voted in last night

Cheryl - No she wasn't, what happened last night was completely out of order

Mandy - You're braver than I thought Gibson, brave and stupid that is....now I'll have a word with Mrs Ballinger

Mandy leaves the room

Vicki looks fretful

Vicki - Oh gee Chez, it's not a good idea to upset Ballinger, maybe you should step down quietly

Cheryl is angry

Cheryl - You want her to be the top dog do you? Is that what you're saying?

Vicki - No of course not, but she's dangerous Cheryl

Cheryl - She doesn't scare me, no one does

Joan is laying on her bed in the cell as the door opens and Len comes in

Len - I've just had a chat with our friend Ballinger Ferguson....guess what she wants me to do?

Joan(aggressive) - Why don't you tell me, I know you're dying to

Len - She wants me to kill ya

Joan sits up on her bed looking startled

Len chuckles

Len - Oh don't worry Ferguson, luckily for you, I told her to forget it. I have other plans for you

Len walks out of the room

Len - She's all yours

Marie, Veronica, and a large group of other inmates walk into the cell

Marie is rolling her sleeves up

Marie - I've been waiting for a long time for this Freak...

They descend on Joan

Len stands outside the cell, puffing on a cigarette and listening to the sound of Joan taking a vicious beating

Marty's flat

Marty and Kath are sitting on the sofa

Marty - So that's it, Goodbye Wentworth

Kath - I bet Raymond wasn't too happy about that?

Marty - She was furious

Kath laughs

Kath- I wish I could have seen her face

Marty - Now all we need to do is get you a passport and we're off

Kath - Can we afford it?

Marty shows Kath the engagement ring he gave Spike

Marty - Once I take this back for a refund that will go some way to helping..I have some savings too. I think we might just about do it

Kath - I can't wait! I used to think I would be stuck in that place forever, it used to get me down so much Marty

Marty - Well now you're free and I'm not going to let you go back, trust me

Kath - I do

Brumby is in the rec room staring at the tv as Colleen comes in

Colleen - I've been looking for you, Tucker...I think you should work in the laundry

Brumby - Work in the laundry? What's the point?

Colleen - The point is it will be company for you and something to keep you busy. You can't mope about here on your own all-day

Brumby - How can I work like this?

Colleen - You can sit at the sawing machine easily enough

Brumby - Big deal

Colleen - Listen, Tucker, I realize how difficult this must be for you, but being in a wheelchair doesn't mean your life has to end, it doesn't mean you are completely useless?

Brumby - No? Seems to me I was already a useless bitch before this, now I'm even more useless than ever. It would do the world a huge favor if I was just put down, the way they put useless sick old animals down

Colleen - Oh pull yourself together Tucker, this kind of talk will do you no good at all

Brumby stares at the tv screen

Brumby - I'm trying to watch the tv if you don't mind Mrs Powell

Colleen sighs

Colleen - Fine have it your way

Colleen leaves again

The kitchen

Pauline and Helen are on duty

Pauline - That thug Morgan! If I ever see her again I'll kill her for what she did to Michelle

Helen - Yeah it's a pretty rotten thing she did

Pauline - I wish I could help Michelle but she refuses to let me

Helen - Just give her time Pauline

Pauline - How much time does she need? We go round in circles, it seems hopeless

Helen - She will need you more than ever now love, even if she doesn't want to admit it right now she will in time. You will just have to be patient and don't give up, that's the worst thing you could do

Pauline - You reckon?

Helen - Yes I do, you're her mother Pauline, she does need you and in time she's going to accept that. The reality of being in a wheelchair is going to catch up on her sooner or later and when it does it's going to hit her hard. She's going to need you then

Joan is laying on the bed severely beaten as Marie, Veronica and the others stand over her

Marie - Reckon she's had enough now eh girls?

Veronica - Yeah I reckon. Don't wanna kill her now do we

They leave the cell to where Len is waiting

Marie - She's a mess Mr Murphy, a real mess

Veronica - Yeah just like you wanted

Len - Good work girls....you'll get your reward later

they all leave and Len enters the cell

Len - This is just the start of it Ferguson, there will be plenty more. Your life is going to be hell, every minute of every day. You'll regret the day you set me up and sent me to prison

Joan - Why don't you just bloody kill me you mongrel?

Len - It's just like I said, that would be too easy on you. I want you to suffer Ferguson

The laundry. Ruth, Mandy, and a gang arrive

Mandy - Mrs Ballinger has something to say, ladies

Ruth scans the room and rests her eyes on Cheryl

Ruth - Indeed I do....anyone who thinks last night was a joke is welcome to challenge me, but I really wouldn't recommend it. You should also remember that it is not just myself, it is also the governor you would be challenging

Ruth stands in front of Cheryl

Ruth - Are you really prepared for such a challenge?

Cheryl - You weren't voted in properly

Ruth - Ok fine

Ruth addresses the room

Ruth - Anyone who doesn't want me as top dog raise your hands now....you're more than welcome to have a chat about it...with myself, the governor, and Mr Henderson that is

The room is silent, no one responds

Ruth turns back to Cheryl

Ruth - Seems they are a sensible bunch, know when they are better off accepting things, why don't you learn from them?...oh and btw I'll be collecting protection money later, 5 dollars from each of you, anyone who doesn't have it can expect to be punished

Ruth smirks at Cheryl

Ruth - I do hope you have the money for me?

Cheryl flies at Ruth

Cheryl - You're a cocky bitch! I'm going to teach you who the boss is here!

Cheryl goes to hit Ruth but is pulled away by Mandy and the others

Ruth slaps Cheryl in the face
