Janice is in the staffroom having a coffee when Colleen enters the room

Colleen - Have you seen Ian at all?

Janice - No? I thought you said you sent him home?

Colleen - I did but Pat is on reception and says he never left, he also hasn't signed out in the book

Janice - Well I haven't seen him

Colleen - If you do can you ask him why he is still on the premises?

Janice - Sure, will do

Ann is sitting watching tv as Meg arrives home

Ann - You're back early, I wasn't expecting you for a few hours yet

Meg - Yes well the dinner ended earlier than expected

Ann - I take it, it didn't go too well then?

Meg - Vera, and Maxwell in a room together? It was a disaster, I knew it would be

Ann - I just hope Mr. Fletcher realizes the risk he's taking getting involved with an ex-prisoner

Meg - I've no doubt he does....whatever you do you mustn't tell anyone, Ann. Jim swore me to secrecy I doubt he'd be too pleased if he knew I told you

Ann - Don't worry Meg I can keep a secret...but I'm surprised Vera was willing to

Meg - So was I quite frankly...anyway enough about that, did you see Paul today as you planned?

Ann nods her head

Ann (tearful) - It was awful Meg. He isn't coping in there, he looks so skinny, so pale. He tried so hard to put a brave face on it but I could tell it's destroying him in there. He won't cope with 25 years in that place

Meg - And you're still convinced Joan set him up?

Ann - Damn right I am. just like she set Jenny up to stop her making inquires

Meg - I believe Joan set him up too now. She killed Pippa and Marty

Ann - Why the change of heart Meg? You seemed convinced she didn't

Meg - She admitted it to me tonight....well she admitted she had Marty killed anyway

Ann (surprised) - You saw Ferguson tonight?

Meg - Yes, after I left Jim's. You see Maxwell finally made me see sense. It turns out Ferguson tried to set it up for her to miscarry her baby too, Maxwell was telling the truth I could tell. I finally realized the truth and went to confront Ferguson and she admitted she had Marty killed

Ann - So now that you finally realize the truth where do we go from here?

Meg has a cold, severe expression on her face

Meg - She isn't going to get away with it Ann, no way...I have a plan

Janice is wondering a corridor when she bumps into Ian

Janice - Colleen was looking for you you know, she wanted to know why you haven't left the building

Ian - I haven't left because I went to see Tucker to ask her why she has made up this lie about me

Janice - And was she any help?

Ian - No of course not, the little bitch

Janice - Well if I were you I'd leave now, you're not supposed to be here

Ian - I can't leave yet, I still have a bit of business to take care of

Suddenly Janice is grabbed from behind and a hand put over her mouth, by Kelly

Kelly holds a knife to her throat

Kelly - Mr Henderson and I want to have a little chat with you Jan. I'm sure you can spare us five minutes of your time can't you?

Kelly and Ian lead Janice along the corridor and up a flight of stairs.....

....The three of them arrive at the boiler room

Kelly - Isn't this cozy, just the three of us here like this

Janice - What the hell do you think you're playing at?

Ian - I know you set me up, Janice

Janice - That's total bullshit.

Ian - Webster here told me it was you who beat up tucker

Janice - So she's lying!

Kelly - No I'm not

Ian - Yes and I know I didn't beat her up, none of the women could have either so it had to be an officer

Janice - It was Di Hagen!

Ian looks shocked

Ian - It was Di?

Janice - Yeah, she was angry about Tucker lying about being paralyzed, she had to be her carer for weeks you know and it made her so mad she went and beat her up

Ian - How do you know it was Di?

Janice - She told me afterward, she was panicking worrying she'd lose her job

Ian - And you gave her the idea to pin it on me?

Janice - Not you exactly, I suggested she give Tucker a bit of encouragement to name another officer, I had no idea she would name you Ian I'm so sorry

Kelly - I believe you when you say Hagen beat up Brumby, cos I knew you had someone else with you. But it doesn't alter the fact you were in on it too and deliberately wanted to set Me Henderson up

Janice - This is simply a lie Ian, you must realize Webster hates me and would do anything to get at me

Ian looks at Kelly

Ian - Well that's certainly true

Kelly - Look she's the one lying not me! She set us both up on purpose!

Ian - I only have your word on it that she set you up, you could have attacked Connie Slater like she said you did

Kelly - I didn't!

Janice - Look Ian why don't we lock Webster back up and go and talk to Tucker right now? Get her to own up it was Hagen who beat her?

Ian - Yeah ok....come on Webster

Kelly is angry

Kelly - No way!....no bloody way!

Kelly grabs Janice and gets the knife around her throat

Kelly- Nows the time I finally pay you back for killing Tanya and my brother

Janice - Sure of that are you?

Janice elbows Kelly in the ribs and breaks free, Janice grabs Kelly's head and slams it into one of the boilers

Kelly - YOU SAVAGE BITCH!

Kelly goes for Janice with the knife again and they fight... Ian runs in and the three of them fight over the knife

Ian - GIVE US THE KNIFE WEBSTER!

Kelly - LIKE HELL I WILL! I TRIED TO HELP YOU TONIGHT HENDERSON AND YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE HER BULLSHIT OVER ME!

Ian gets the knife off Kelly and he and Janice overpower her

Ian - let's get you back to the pound

Kelly - Bastards the pair of you!

Spike and Brumby are in a dreary Blackmoor cell

Brumby - I'm gonna escape today ya know, got it all planned out, this time it can't fail

Spike - Oh get real Brumby! You say that every time and every time it does fail and you get more time. When will you learn to just do your time and get out the proper way!

Brumby - But this time it can't fail Spike! You should come with me too!

Spike - No way! I'm staying here!

Brumby- You wanna stay here with Craven and Leach making our lives hell then that's your choice, but I ain't sticking around a moment longer than I have to

Spike looks frustrated

Spike - Look Brumby please, just serve your sentence and get out the proper way. You keep on with these daft escape plans and you'll never get out....and one day you'll go too far and someone will get hurt or killed!

Brumby - Bull!

Spike - It's no bull, it's the truth, and deep down inside you know it. Why won't you listen to me?

Brumby smirks

Brumby - Cos I know what I'm doing that's why

Spike - One day you'll go too far and you'll remember this conversation and you'll wish you'd listened to me...

...Brumby lays on her bed staring at the ceiling with tears in her eyes

Brumby (to herself) - You were right as usual Spike

Suddenly the door opens and Ian and Janice enter the cell

Kelly is in the next cell as she hears Brumby cry out with pain

Kelly - YOU ALRIGHT IN THERE BRUM? WHAT ARE THOSE TWO BASTARDS DOING TO YA?

Janice has a hold on Brumby as Ian punches her in the stomach

Ian - You tell the screws Di bashed you got it? You tell them that she ordered you to lie!

Brumby - Yeah! yeah ok!

Janice lets her go

Ian - Make sure you do or I'll be back

Janice -We'll both be back

Brumby - Why the change of heart Raymond?

Janice - Shut up!

Ian - No I want to know what she means?

Brumby - I mean Raymond and Hagen both bashed me and wanted to set you up

Ian glares at Janice

Janice - Come on we still need one last word with Webster remember

Ian and Janice leave the cell and lock Brumby in

Kelly calls out again from her cell

Kelly - BRUMBY ARE YOU OK?

Janice and Ian open the cell door and enter

Janice - Tucker's fine Webster...now we want one final word with you

Kelly - What do you want now?

Ian - We want you to back Tucker up when she tells the governor that Hagen did it

Janice - Yes you must tell the governor that you heard Hagen do it. We want to make sure Ian can clear his name completely, the governor may not take Tucker's word as enough since she lied once

Kelly - Fine I'll lie for you...but we both know the truth don't we Janice

Janice and Ian leave the cell and lock the door

Janice - I don't know about you but I sure could do with a coffee...fancy one too?

Ian grabs Janice and throws her against the wall

Ian - Why did you try to set me up Jan?

Janice - I didn't...

Ian - Yes you did and I want to know why

Janice - Does it matter now? I'm willing to put it right now, aren't I?

Ian - Only because you were forced into it, you wouldn't have if Webster and I hadn't have got you alone tonight

Janice - Look Di and I had to get ourselves off the hook didn't we, it was nothing personal

Ian - Yes it was Personal Jan....I know you told her to accuse me specifically. I want to know why me and not Mr Brewer or Mrs Slattery or anyone else?

Janice chuckles

Janice - Slattery? be serious now that woman couldn't fight her way out of a paper bag without someone assisting her!

Ian - Then Mr Brewer? I'll ask you again why me after our history together?

Janice - If you really want to know I'll tell you....its because I know that's why

Ian looks confused

Ian - Know what?

Janice snarls at him

Janice - I know what Ballinger and King did to my child...and I know who helped them for a cut of the profits

Ian - I see...

Janice - You see? That's all you have to say, is it?

Ian looks guilty

Ian - Look Jan, I'm sorry I really am.

Janice - You can be as sorry as you like but it doesn't change the hatred I feel for you

Ian startles Janice by putting his hands around her throat

Ian - You can hate me all you like, but I'd advise you to keep it in your head. Any more attempts to get at me and you'll pay dearly

Janice - Oh I will, will I?

Ian - Yes Jan, you will

Exterior shot of Wentworth in daytime

Inside Brumby and Kelly are with Vera in the governor's office. Colleen is also present

Vera looks irate

Vera - I would like to know why you lied about it being Mr Henderson if it was actually Officer Hagen Tucker? I would also like to know why you waited until now to come forward, Webster?

Brumby - Mrs Hagen made me lie Miss...she said she'd hurt me again if I didn't

Vera looks at Kelly

Vera - And you Webster? Why did you wait until now to come forward

Kelly shrugs

Kelly - It had nothing to do with me really, I keep out of things that don't concern me

Vera - So why decide to come forward now?

Kelly - Brumby told me through the wall how guilty she felt about lying and she made me feel guilty too, I decided I should step forward alongside her. Together we decided to do the right thing eh Tucker

Brumby nods her head

Vera - Very admirable I'm sure

Bea is in the grounds with the skinhead thug

Thug - Murphy's at Blackmoor now, Winter confirmed it this morning

Bea looks delighted

Bea - Excellent news. Now I've got Murphy just where I want him

Thug - I still don't get what difference it makes if he is at Woodridge or Blackmoor?

Bea - It's simple. Woodridge doesn't take women, prisoners, Blackmoor does...and I need to see Len

Thug -But you're in here?

Bea grins

Bea - Not for much longer

Thug - Listen if you want Len fixed I can arrange that for you ya know

Bea shakes her head with a smirk

Bea - Oh no...oh no....when I want someone fixed I always see to it personally

Blackmoor Prison

Ann is in the governor's office as Len is shown in

Len - G'day Mrs Reynolds, I heard you were the governor here now. It's good to see you

Ann (frosty) - Frankly Len I don't feel the same way and I could do without the extra hassle of having to protect you from the other inmates

Len - I can look after myself I don't need protecting

Ann - The department doesn't agree. What with you being an ex screw you're clearly a target. That's why I have been ordered to place you in isolation

Len (angry) - Now look here Reynolds, I had just about enough of that at Woodridge! It's time i was treated like a normal prisoner

Ann - You're not a normal prisoner Len and you know that as well as I do. Anyway, my hands are tied by department orders, you must go to isolation

Len looks annoyed

Di is in the office with Vera and Janice

Di (angry) - I didn't touch Tucker

Vera - That's not what Webster and Tucker say

Di - They are both liars

Janice shakes her head

Janice - You really should own up Di....its the decent thing to do

Janice turns to Vera and sighs

Janice - Di confessed to me late last night that she did it

Vera - Really? Why didn't you say anything?

Janice - I was going to this morning but when I got in Tucker and Webster had already spoken to you, you see Di didn't tell me until very late last night, she felt so guilty she needed to unburden herself. I advised her to come clean

Di looks ready to explode

Di - You bloody bitch!

Di looks at Vera directly

Di - Raymond and I beat her together...and it was Raymond's idea to frame Henderson

Janice - Oh really Di! I know you're backed into a corner here but come on trying to drag me down with you? That's pure spite Di...I had absolutely nothing to do with it, Vera

Vera looks fed up

Vera - I'm just about sick of this now!..... Mrs Hagen, I must suspend you pending an inquiry, you must leave at once

Di looks furious

The laundry

Cheryl is on the press looking angry

Cheryl - Where the bloody hell is Smith? I sent her out on skip ages ago!

Bea is in her cell laying on the bed casually smoking

Vera, Janice, and Colleen are walking along a corridor

Vera - Someone needs to call Mr Henderson and tell him his suspension has been lifted

Colleen - I'd like to do that myself if you don't mind

Vera - Certainly

Janice -I bet it must be a relief to know he didn't do it eh Colleen?

Colleen - Yes it is...but I feel bloody rotten that I doubted him

They turn a corner and spot the laundry skip in the middle of the corridor

Vera - What's that doing there?

They arrive at Bea's cell

Vera - SMITH!...on your feet at once!

Bea ignores her and takes a puff on her cigarette

Vera - DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME, SMITH? I SAID ON YOUR FEET AT ONCE

Bea - I heard you perfectly well Vera...

Colleen - Then do as the governor says, Smith!

Bea - And what if I don't want to?

Vera - Then you will go on report won't you! You know damn well you should be in the laundry with the others

Bea - Yeah well I fancied taking it easy today didn't i

Vera - On your feet...MOVE!

Bea chuckles

Bea - make me!

Janice - Come on now Smith, we'll give you a chance to return to the laundry right now and we'll say no more about it. How does that sound?

Colleen - I think its a fair offer Smith considering we should put you on a charge for this

Bea lays there and chuckles

Vera(angry and impatient) - Oh I've had enough of this!

Vera grabs Bea and tries to pull her off the bed

Vera - MOVE SMITH!...NOW!

Bea suddenly leaps up and grabs Vera and headbutts her violently, sending her flying. Janice and Colleen look shocked as Bea grabs Vera by her hair and throws her face-first into a wall

Bea - Oh I've been waiting years for this moment, Vera!

Bea punches Vera hard in the stomach, doubling her over in pain

Colleen and Janice rush in to restrain Bea, she fights them off and kicks out at Vera, kicking her in between the legs, she punches her again this time in the face. Colleen and Janice finally restrain her and pin her to a wall

Vera stands trembling, crying. she wipes the blood off her face

Janice - Are you ok Vera?

Vera - YOU'RE AN ANIMAL SMITH! A SAVAGE, FERAL ANIMAL!

Bea sneers

Bea - That's what they tell me

Vera - GET HER TO THE POUND! SHE CAN STAY THERE UNTIL THE CAR GETS HERE!

Colleen - What car Vera?

Vera - The car that's going to be escorting her to Blackmoor of course! Assaulting the prison governor is the most serious offense there is and this animal belongs in Blackmoor!

Bea smirks

GATESLAM

PART 2

Colleen is in reception as Kate is brought in

Colleen looks shocked

Colleen - Peterson?

Kate smiles at her

Kate - I keep telling everyone my name is Dr. Edwards, Dr. Marie Edwards...I really do wish people would listen

Colleen - Your name is Kate Peterson! Drop the act

Kate - Have we met? I really can't remember

Colleen - You know damn well we have Peterson!

Kate - You really must learn to address me by my correct name. I simply won't tolerate these sorts of mistakes

Dwyer is with Ann at Blackmoor

Dwyer - I trust Murphy has been taken care of?

Ann - If by taken care of you mean placed in isolation then yes

Dwyer - Good good

Ann - But I would like to know why he was moved here to start with?

Dwyer - The department felt that Woodridge would not be secure enough for him, he was already causing problems there. We feel he is better suited to Blackmoor

Ann - I see...

Dwyer - I hope you are up for the pressure Mrs Reynolds? If you aren't please say so now, i can easily relieve you of your duties

Ann (frosty) - I can handle the pressure Mr Dwyer, you needn't worry about that

Dwyer - I'm glad to hear it Mrs Reynolds

Ann - Yes well while you're here I wish to discuss my son Paul...the department is aware that he is a prisoner at Woodridge?

Dwyer - Yes, yes I did hear something about that most unfortunate of situations. Please allow me this opportunity to express my deepest condolences

Ann - Thank you......the thing is I would like him moved here

Dwyer - Moved here? That is totally out of the question Mrs Reynolds!

Ann - May I ask why?

Dwyer - That ought to be obvious....the department can't allow a prisoner to be in the same prison where his mother is the governor

Ann looks desperate

Ann - Please Sir... I've visited him in Woodridge and I am very concerned about him. He isn't coping with prison and I just want him here where I can keep an eye on him

Dwyer - If he came here and the other prisoners found out the governor was his mother they'd kill him

Ann - We'd have to make sure they didn't find out

Dwyer - These things have the habit of leaking out and you know that. No, I'm sorry Mrs Reynolds it's out of the question!

Ann looks distraught
