Exterior shot of Wentworth in daytime

Inside Jim is sat behind the governor's desk in a suit, he has the staff gathered around

Jim - Miss Raymond is taking some time off to deal with personal problems and in her absence, I will be deputy governor...Miss Raymond has left strict instructions regarding Kelly Webster, she is to remain in solitary, she is to have no visitors, phone calls, nothing

Meg looks concerned

Meg - But we can't keep her there forever Jim? She's already done 24 hours

Jim shrugs

Jim - Miss Raymond sees her as too dangerous to be allowed to roam around free and I tend to agree with her, look what she did to Slater....and while we're on the subject she is expected back here sometime this morning

Colleen rolls her eyes

Colleen - Great more trouble!

Spike and Graham are sat eating breakfast, Spike is humming cheerfully

Graham - You're in a good mood this morning

Spike - Yes I certainly am, I'm free aren't i

Graham - I'm glad you're out of there, I can't imagine how awful it must have been...I am still amazed you managed to get bail

Spike - It's like I told ya, Grace felt he owed me a favour for Kelly Webster

Graham - And he really thinks he can get you off and keep your job at the center?

Spike -That's what he said yes

Graham - I hope so Margaret, I want things to work out for you..for both of us

Spike - I want that too...I was so sure you'd want nothing more to do with me but I'm glad you do

Graham -Of course I do Margaret, I like you a lot and it will take more than that to get rid of me

Meg and Colleen are in the staffroom

Meg - So I hear they brought Maxwell back in last night?

Colleen - Yes, but look Meg please don't go near her, I do understand how you must feel but just remember Carol Lewis, Meg, how you advised me to put my personal feelings aside and keep professional

Meg looks confused

Meg - What are you talking about Colleen?

Colleen looks stunned

Colleen - You mean you don't know?

Meg - Know what Colleen?

Colleen - It's Marty...

Colleen pauses and looks awkward

Meg - Marty? Oh for god sake tell me...

Kath is stood in front of Jim in the office. Matt is stood to the side

Jim - I won't waste my breath lecturing you on how foolish you were Maxwell as I'm sure none of it will sink in

Kath rolls her eyes

Jim - I am sending you back to H Block for now as Maternity is full but as soon as a space becomes available there I am sending you there

Kath shrugs

Kath - I expected as much

Jim - And let me give you a warning, I am aware of your recent drug use, prior to your escape. It was noted down on your file several times. I find it disgusting that any pregnant woman would expose her unborn child to drugs in this way and I'm going to be watching you from now on

Kath - It was only a bit of grass ...

Jim - Only a bit of Grass? It is damn irresponsible and I cannot believe you would be so foolish especially after your first child was born deformed, why would you risk it a second time?

Kath - That was due to the Vietnam war, my husband was exposed to defoliants. I really doubt a bit of grass would have the same effect

Jim - Unless you're a dr I don't see how you are qualified to make such an assumption Maxwell, the point is I will be watching you like a hawk

Kath - I only took the damn drugs because being in this place gets me down so much. I used to see no end to it, no hope, but Marty changed all that. We were going to run away together and never see the inside of a prison again, well that's all down the drain now isn't it

Kath is tearful

Kath - I get so damn sick of this place Mr Fletcher, you have no idea what it's like

Jim doesn't look impressed

Jim - Spare me the tears Maxwell, self-pity doesn't impress me. You're here because you committed a crime same as all the others. What makes you think you have any right to be free? You have no damn right until you have completed your sentence..a sentence which is going to be very long if you carry on the way you have been

Kath - I should never have been put here in the first place, all I did was...

Jim - Kill your own daughter, yes I know

Kath - End my child's suffering was what I was going to say

Jim looks at her in disgust

Jim - If you say so...personally I suspect it's more likely you just got bored of the child

Kath is shaking with rage

Kath - How dare you! What right have you to sit there and judge me like that? You know damn all about it

Jim - Careful Maxwell...

Kath - What would you know about Vietnam? About the damage it caused?

Jim - That's enough...

Kath leans across the table

Kath - You know nothing about it do you? Nothing at all

Jim - I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH!

Kath stands back up with a smirk

Jim - Not that it's any of your business but I know plenty about it, I was there too just like your husband was. I saw things that I still have nightmares about so how dare you stand there and tell me I know nothing about it

Kath looks guilty

Kath - Look I'm sorry, I didn't...

Jim - Just shut up, I've had enough of listening to you...I'm not impressed with your attitude Maxwell. I am not impressed by pregnant women putting their unborn children at risk and I will not tolerate it

Kath - You''ve made your point, can I go now?

Jim - You can go when I've finished with you and not before...When this baby is born I will see to it personally that it goes into care right away

Kath - But I can have him for 2 years...

Jim shakes his head

Jim - Sorry Maxwell, only if you are deemed fit to keep the child. I'll see to it that you aren't

Kath - You bastard! I guess you're one of those bitter men whose ex-wife won't let him see his kids eh? She got custody after the divorce did she so now you want to punish me and every other pregnant prisoner by taking their kids from them? Is that it?

Jim looks ready to fly into a rage, Matt stands looking uneasy. Jim manages to suppress his anger

Jim turns to Matt

Jim - Get her out of my sight

Matt - C'mon Maxwell

Matt quickly leads Kath out of the office

They walk up the corridor

Matt - You're a real piece of work aren't you

Kath - I don't remember asking for your opinion

Matt - Yeah well you're going to get it anyway...you're scum

Kath - Oh spare me. I've heard it all before, call me what you like, you don't even know me, you're new here and think you know it all already...

Matt - I know when I'm looking at some big-mouthed bitch who says vile, hurtful things to people without caring about the hurt it could cause

Kath - You mean about Vietnam? So I didn't know he served in it did I,...I did apologies

Matt - It's not just about Vietnam... Mr Fletcher lost his kids years ago, they died in a bomb blast....so maybe you should have a think about what you just said to him in there

Kath - Oh...I didn't know

Matt snaps

matt - No you didn't did you! Just like you didn't know about Vietnam. That's my point, you didn't know anything before you made your spiteful comments, you just made them, and to hell with finding out the facts first eh

Kath - Why do you care so much anyway?

Matt - Mr Fletcher has been good to me that's all and I know that your comments in there hurt him a lot

Kath - And what about the things he said to me? I'm supposed to take those lying down I suppose

Matt - You should yes, you're the prisoner, he's the governor, know your place

Kath - Oh you're going to fit in here just fine aren't you, I can see that

Colleen is in reception as a one-eyed Mandy is brought in

Ruth arrives at her cell to find all her special stuff being taken away by Ian and other officers

Ruth - What is going on here? That's my stuff you're taking!

Ian - Governors orders I'm afraid

Ruth - I want a word outside now

Ian follows her out to the corridor

Ruth - I thought Miss Raymond and I had a deal?

Ian - It wasn't Miss Raymond who ordered it, it was Mr Fletcher. Janice has taken some leave and he's acting governor

Ruth - This is outrageous! I demand to speak to him right away

Ian -- He is a busy man Ballinger, I'm sure he doesn't wish to speak to you

Ruth - I told you to address me as Mrs Ballinger boy!

Ian laughs at her

Ian - You've been knocked off your perch Ballinger, you're nothing around here anymore...you're not even top dog anymore

Ruth - Yes I am! You know I am Henderson!

Ian - Oh but all that has changed, this morning at breakfast time someone else took over

Ruth looks furious

Ruth - Who did?

Ian - Gibson took the spot back

Ruth - We'll see about that

Ruth marches off in a rage

Matt and Kath arrive at the three-bed dorm

Kath - So I've still got my old cell then?

Matt - Looks like it

Kath - At least that's something, I get sick of being moved around to different cells

Matt - Make the most of it. you'll be in maternity soon enough

Matt leaves the cell. Kath turns her back to the door to switch on the kettle and Meg appears in the doorway

Kath turns around and is startled to see meg

Kath - Mrs Morris....I wondered when you'd show up

Meg - Did you?

Kath - You've come about Marty I take it?

Meg - You're damn right I've come about Marty...thanks to you he's now on remand at Woodridge

Kath - Yes I know

Meg - Is that all you have to say about it?

Kath - What do you expect me to say?

Meg - Aren't you even sorry? You've ruined his whole life!

Kath - I didn't force him to do it you know, he is a big boy, he makes his own decisions

Meg shakes her head

Meg - Oh no...no you manipulated him, you played with his head. Marty was a straight, honest, decent officer until you got your claws into him, he never broke the rules. God, i thought Marsh was bad for him but she was a saint compared to you

Kath - Straight was he? Decent?

Meg - Yes he was, of course, he was

Kath pats her stomach

Kath - This little fella could be his

Meg - I don't believe you?

Kath shrugs

Kath - Suit yourself...we'll find out soon enough, won't we?

Meg storms out

Colleen is walking along the corridor with Mandy

Mandy - Where is that bitch?

Colleen - Who Slater?

Mandy (irritated) - Margaret Thatcher!......bleeding hell, Webster of course, who do you think?

Colleen - She's in the pound...listen to me Slater, we don't want any revenge attacks on Webster you understand me? Just leave her to us to deal with

Mandy - Yeah sure...

Colleen - I mean it Slater

The laundry

Cheryl is on the press as Ruth marches in

Ruth - You never learn do you, Gibson! I'm in charge of this prison now and I have the governors support

Cheryl - You mean Miss Raymond?

Cheryl chuckles

Ruth - What is so damn funny?

Cheryl picks a file up from where it is hidden behind a shelf and waves it at Ruth

Cheryl - Miss Raymond visited me in my cell last night after lockup to give me this... it's your file Ballinger

The others have surrounded them

Cheryl - She said it was a little present for us from her, I never knew she had a nice side did you?

Vicki - The file tells us all about your sick child porn rackets

Cheryl - I have never been so disgusted by anything in my life

Ruth - Well none of it's true I was set up!

Vicki - Well we don't believe you do we, Cheryl?

Cheryl - No, not at all. You're one vile bitch

Ian is standing in the doorway

Ian - What's going on here? One day I will walk in here and find you all hard at work

Cheryl - Nothing Mr. Henderson, just having a little chat with Ruth

Ruth - I want to see Fletcher right now!

Ruth storms out of the laundry and bumps into Mandy in the corridor

Ruth - Slater.....I'm glad you're back

Mandy - Oh really?

Ruth - Yes I need your help pulling that lot into line

Mandy - Forget it, I'm only interested in Webster now

Ruth is angry

Ruth - Listen to me girl...

Mandy - No Ballinger, listen to me. All I care about now is fixing Webster, you got that?

Mandy points at her empty eye socket

Mandy - After what she did to me she's history

Mandy carries on past

Meg is with Jim in the office

Meg - I'm sorry to ask Jim but I need the rest of the day off

Jim nods his head

Jim - Of course Meg, you need to go and see Marty

Meg - Oh so you knew too? Seems everyone knew before I did

Jim - Meg I'm sorry...

Meg - I just need to go and see Marty...

Jim - Yes go, Meg, you need to see him, I understand

As Meg leaves Ruth barges in without knocking and slams the door behind her

Jim - I don't know what you think you're playing at but you do not march in here without an appointment

Ruth - Save it of the rest of that rabble, you don't know who I am do you?

Jim - Yes I do Ballinger, I know all about you

Ruth - You have made a mistake ordering my cell to be stripped back to the bare minimum, I would like the order revoked right away

Jim - I won't do that Ballinger, while I am in charge here you will be treated the same as everybody else

Ruth - I demand to speak to Dwyer right away! Perhaps if you won't listen to me you'll listen to him, he'll tell you right now that you're making a mistake here

Jim - It was he who ordered your cell to be stripped

Ruth - That's rubbish!

Ian rushes in

Ian - I'm sorry Sir, I tried to stop her

Jim - It's ok Mr Henderson, please take her away now...I need someone to clean the toilet block, take Ballinger to do it, please

Ruth looks outraged

Ruth - Clean the toilet block?

Jim - Yes Ballinger, got a problem with that?

Ruth - This is outrageous! I demand to speak to Dwyer now!

Dwyer is with Janice in his office as the phone rings, Dwyer answers

Dwyer - James Dwyer speaking?

It's Ruth calling from the reception

Ruth - What are you playing at Dwyer? I want my stuff back right away or I'll have to have a little chat with Wendy...

Dwyer - Tell her what you like she won't believe you

Ruth - But I have the proof to send her you know that!

Dwyer smirks and glances down at his desk.

There is a folder full of photos of Dwyer in bed with various women, as well as some negatives

Dwyer - Your Mr Pendlebury gave the whole lot to me, there is nothing for you to use on me anymore

Ruth - You're lying! Nicholas would never do that to me

Dwyer - Money talks Ruth, you know that...good day

A smug Dwyer hangs up and looks at Janice

Dwyer - Are you absolutely sure there are no more copies?

Janice - Totally sure Sir...Pendlebury assured me and I believe him

Dwyer hands Janice an envelope

Dwyer - The money is in there, you did very well Miss Raymond, thanks

Janice - I hate Ballinger that's all

Ruth is on the phone with Nicholas

Ruth - You bastard! How could you do this to me?

Nicholas - Miss Raymond offered me a lot of money

Ruth - Raymond did? Not Dwyer?

Nicholas - Raymond was the one who tracked me down, I must have got her attention when she saw me visiting you, she's a smart woman Ruth, very Smart

Ruth - Well that's more than I can say for you Nicholas, having known me as long as you have you should have known better than to cross me, now you're going to pay

Nicholas laughs

Nicholas - You have no power anymore Ruthy darling, you're nothing, nothing, and no-one, the only person who will do business with you is that bastard Murphy down at Blackmoor

Nicholas hangs up

GATESLAM

PART 2

Connie is asleep on the sofa as Tess wakes her up

Tess - John's gone to work and I want a chat, just the two of us

Connie - What about?

Tess - Look I don't want you here I'm sorry...I can give you some money, will you go if I do? How much is enough, I can give you a couple of hundred and that should see you right for a while?

Connie - It wasn't my idea to come here in the first place, it was John's

Tess - I know, well John can't help himself, he is too kind-hearted. He sees someone in need and he immediately wants to help them out. But this is my home and he never asked me if I minded

Connie - I've known from the first moment you saw me you didn't want me here

Tess - It's nothing personal I promise you, I just prefer it when it's just myself and John

Connie - No need to explain, I understand

Tess - So you'll go?

Connie - Sure, you clearly don't want me here, I know when I'm not wanted

Tess - I do wish you the best of luck sweetheart, please believe that

Connie - Yeah thanks....well that money you're offering will help a bit at least

Tess - Yes, of course, I'll run us to the bank and get it now for you, get your things together

Exterior shot of Woodridge

Inside Marty is waiting in a room as Meg is shown in. Meg rushes in to hug him

officer - No physical contact, please

They let each other go and sit down

Meg - Oh Marty, you've got yourself in a real mess this time

Marty - I know mum, I don't need the lecture ok

Meg - But why? I just don't understand it, Marty, not at all. I thought you were happy with Marsh

Marty - I was...I don't know why it happened, it just did. I like Kath too

Meg - That bitch! She's ruined your life

Marty - No mum! Don't blame her, its just as much my fault

Meg - She told me the baby could be yours, that's not true is it?

Marty nods his head

Marty - Sorry mum but it is

Meg - Oh Marty why? I don't understand it, I thought i knew you but it seems I don't. The Marty I knew wouldn't have got a serving prisoner pregnant

Marty bows his head looking guilty

Marty - Well there's a lot more about me you don't know mum

Janice is with Nicholas

Janice - There's one more job I want you to do

She hands him the envelope full of cash

Janice - I want Ballinger set up to take the blame for trying to have my son and my sister killed

Nicholas - But Miss Raymond, she really wasn't behind that I promise you. Surely you'd prefer the real culprit to be found?

Janice - I already know who the real culprit was and I can deal with her in my own way. I want Ballinger framed for it, that lady is nothing but trouble and I'm going to show her whose boss

Back with Meg and Marty

Meg is crying
