Kath paces the cell with a smirk

Kath - It's time for you both to pay for the damage you have done to my life

Janice is outside in the corridor listening

Kath - I want you both to fight, right here and now

Shirley - Is that all? I've been waiting to lay into her for what she did ever since she got here. She's the one to blame for me being back here, I'll happily fight her and tear her apart limb from limb for what she did

Kath - That's good Shirl, cos I want to winner to kill the loser... I'll set a timer. If you fail to kill her you both die

Shirley - I can kill her no worries

Shanice - You're mad Karen I always knew it. Well, I ain't sticking around for this rubbish!

Shanice tries to leave

Kath - Stop her!

Cassie and Brumby do so

Brumby - Not so fast eh sweetheart

Shanice - Look just let me go will ya!

Kath gets into Shanice's face

Kath - What's wrong Shan? Scared that Shirley will kill you?

Shanice - No way! I can beat her easy

Kath - Really?

Shanice - Course!

Kath - Well nows your chance to prove it

Janice arrives in the doorway

Janice - There ya are Shirl, been looking for you everywhere

Kath - Get lost Raymond, we have business to attend to, private business

Janice - Oh but Shirl and I were going to have a game of pool in the rec room weren't we?

Shirley - Yeah that's right

Shirley begins to leave with Janice, Janice grins at Kath

Janice - I'm so sorry to interrupt your business Maxwell, I hope it wasn't too important?

Kath looks angry but keeps cool

Kath - It can keep.....

As Janice and Shirley are leaving Bea arrives in the doorway blocking their exit

Bea - But this can't

Bea glares angrily around the room

Vera is with Sandra

Vera - So Smith is back on H block

Sandra - How did she seem to you?

Vera - A bit subdued, unusual for her

Sandra - Would you say she'll be out to cause more trouble?

Vera - Well knowing Smith she won't let being hit over the head like that pass without doing something

Sandra - Well I warned her I do not wish to see Leanne getting hurt anymore so if she ignores me then woe betide her!

Vera - Well naturally I will keep my eye on the situation

Sandra - Yes you do that Miss Bennett

Bea stands in the doorway with a face like thunder

Janice - Yes well Shirl and I were just leaving

Janice and Shirley try to leave the room as Bea prevents them

Bea - No you can stay right where you are, all of you

Shirley - Why? You've come for Kath, right? What's that got to do with us?

Bea - True I've come for Maxwell and I will deal with her in good time

Bea gives Kath a look, Kath stands calm

Bea - But I want to talk to you all first

Bea looks at Janice

Bea - You're an ex screw and I don't like you or trust you

Janice - Thanks for telling me, at least we know where we stand...

Bea - I will be keeping an eye on you Raymond, a close eye

Bea looks at Shirley

Bea - And I will be keeping an eye on you too. I don't like or trust you either and even less so since you choose to make friends with an ex screw bitch

Shirley grins

Shirley - If you don't like me I really can live with that Smith

Bea - Ok get lost the pair of you, I've said all I wanted to say

Janice and Shirley leave, giggling like a pair of schoolgirls as they leave

Bea looks at Brumby and Cassie

Bea - A right pair of troublemakers you two aren't ya? Remind me of Gaffney and Peterson, can't be trusted

Cassie - So?

Bea - So I'll be keeping my eyes on the pair of you

Brumby - Yeah? Big deal, you ain't top dog are ya, Kath is

Bea - Thanks for reminding me Tucker...ok get lost the pair of you

Brumby and Cassie leave the room

Bea closes the cell door behind them and looks at Kath and Cheryl

Bea - just the three of us now.....

The rec room

Janice and Shirley are sitting together

Shirley - Thanks for stepping in

Janice - That's ok Shirl, we're mates remember, you'd do the same for me right?

Shirley - Yes right

Janice - Maxwell did seem like she meant business though, reckon you may have been in trouble if I hadn't stepped in

Shirley - let's see how cocky she is once Smith has finished with her, shall we?

They share a smirk

Back in the cell

Bea - I don't like how you two operate. Snooker balls in tights, beating up young kids and framing me for it and then taking over as top dog once I'm out of the way

Kath - Cheryl had nothing to do with it, it was all me

Bea - Rubbish, it's clear to me you are both in it together

Kath - No like I say Cheryl had nothing to do with it

Bea - Well even if that is true she still decided to back you up it seems

Cheryl - Kath's my friend

Bea - You should pick some better friends

Cheryl - Think what you like but don't expect me to do it just because you say I should

Bea - Oh I don't...but can't you see when you're being used? Maxwell needs you on her side, she knows she isn't tough enough to keep top dog without you

Kath - That's rubbish, Cheryl is my offsider sure. Don't try and tell me you never had any of those yourself Smith, I'm sure you did

Bea - Of course, I bloody did but I didn't need them, I could win a fight without them. I wonder if the same could be said about you?

Kath - Of course, I can win a fight, I don't need Cheryl

Bea - Care to put that to the test right now? Of course, you haven't got your snooker balls on you this time have you

Kath - Sure I'll fight you

Bea - Just one on one? No help from Gibson?

Kath nods her head

Kath - Yes ok

Bea looks at Cheryl

Bea - You keep nit...and keep out of this fight

Cheryl looks at Kath with concern, Kath nods her head

Kath - Do as she says Cheryl, I'll be ok I promise

A fretful Cheryl makes her way to the door to keep nit

Bea - Now I'm going to show you how I feel about people who hit me with snooker balls when I'm off guard Maxwell

Beth is in the governor's office with Sandra. Toni is also there

Sandra - I trust you've had a few hours to digest your sentence?

Beth - Yes thank you

Sandra - Of course being in a single cell must help you feel more comfortable here?

Beth smiles

Beth - Oh yes it does rather, I do so hate sharing! Well except with my Brian, of course, I didn't mind that

Sandra - Maybe that's the real reason you killed him? Finally, got sick of his snoring?

Beth bows her head and ignores the bait

Sandra - Well Abbott I have a bit of news for you

Beth - Oh?

Sandra - Yes...as of tonight you will no longer be in a single cell, you will be sharing

Beth looks horrified

Beth - Oh must I?

Sandra - Yes you must...my god you really think you're something special don't you

Beth - No I don't!... I'm just used to being alone that's all

Sandra - Well now you can get used to sharing can't you

Beth - Well I hope whoever I go in with is tidy and keeps good hygiene

Sandra - I'm sure you do yes

Beth - Who will I be sharing with then?

Sandra - Shanice

Beth looks horrified

Beth - Shanice? That ghastly thug of a woman?

Sandra - Yes I'm afraid so

Beth - But she will drive me round the twist!

Sandra - Well how unfortunate!.... Officer Williams will take you to pack now

Toni nods her head and shows Beth out of the office,l they walk up the corridor

Beth - That woman enjoys tormenting me, doesn't she!

Toni - I'm sure she doesn't, she has a job to do that's all

Beth - Why did she have to move me? I was perfectly fine on my own

Toni - You were lucky to have a single for as long as you did. most prisoners get put to share much sooner

Beth - But why must it be that ghastly Shanice? Anyone but her

Toni - I'm sure it won't be as bad as you imagine love

They carry on down the corridor

Kath tries to fight Bea but gets overpowered and pinned to a bed very quickly

Bea - Now I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget!

Cheryl runs in and pulls Bea off

Bea - I told you it was just between me and her Gibson!

Cheryl - I'm sorry but Kath's my friend, I can't just stand back and watch you hurt her

While Bea's back is turned Kath takes a flick knife out of her pocket

Bea - Yeah well you know as well as I do that I can make mincemeat of Maxwell in a fight one on one

Bea turns back to face Kath

Bea - You're just lucky you have Gibson here to look after you Maxwell!

Kath suddenly leaps up and goes for Bea with the knife

Beth is in Shanice's cell unpacking as Shanice arrives

Shanice - What are you doing in here?

Beth - I have to share with you

Shanice sighs with annoyance

Shanice - Oh great, I liked being alone

Beth - So did I, but you can hardly expect them to let you keep a double to yourself can you

Shanice - OOOH! Listen to her! She thinks she's an officer or something now does she?

Beth - No I don't, it's just common sense that's all

Shanice - Well take your common sense and shove it up your arse granny

Beth - Must you be so rude? Manners cost nothing you know

Shanice - Just keep to your side of the cell and keep your gob shut and I won't need to flatten ya will i

Bea and Kath fight over the knife. Bea overpowers Kath and pins her face into the wall and presses it in, she pokes the knife in Kath's face

Bea - You keep making this worse for yourself Maxwell

Kath bites into Bea's arm and Bea drops the knife

Bea - AH YOU BITCH!

Bea hits Kath in the face

Cheryl runs in to help Kath and Bea punches her in the stomach, doubling her over in pain

Cheryl - YOU BITCH!...you'll pay for that Smith!

Cheryl goes for Bea again just as Vera arrives in the doorway

Vera - Well Smith, it didn't take you very long to get into trouble again did it

Bea lets Kath go, Kath quickly kicks the knife under her locker

Bea - So take me to the governor Vera, I know you're dying to

Vera - Who said anything about that Bea? As far as I'm concerned this was a minor incident, no need to involve the governor

Bea, Kath, and Cheryl look at Vera in surprise

Kath - Miss Bennett, I feel you should know that Smith tried to Kill Cheryl and I tonight didn't she Cheryl?

Cheryl - Yes she did

Kath - She is very violent and dangerous Miss Bennett

Bea - If I wanted to kill you you'd be dead Maxwell trust me

Vera smiles

Vera - Now Bea, that's enough with that sort of talk eh!... Gibson get to your cell its nearly lock-up time and Maxwell make sure you tidy this mess up before lights out

Kath - Yes Miss Bennett

Vera - Come on Bea, let's walk and talk shall we

Bea leaves with Vera, she stares back at Kath as she leaves

Beth and Shanice are quietly getting ready for bed as Janice and Shirley run in and attack Shanice, she screams

Janice covers her mouth over

Shirley - Now it's just us, no Maxwell pulling the strings and I owe you for putting me in here don't i

Janice - Yes and I still want to beat you for what you did to your son Jeremy, I thought that was disgusting

Shanice - It was all Normy, I swear! I tried to talk him out of it

Janice and Shirley chuckle as Beth tries to rush out

Janice grabs her and forces her back into the cell

Janice - You wouldn't be thinking of running to the screws to help this bitch would you?

Beth shakes her head and trembles with fear

Janice - That's good....stand quietly in the corner and we won't have to bash you

Beth backs away to a corner as Janice slams the cell door shut

Beth covers her face with horror as Janice and Shirley lay into Shanice with a brutal beating. Shanice screams

Jessie and a few others are in the rec room as Bob arrives

Bob - Ok ladies, lock up let's get moving

They all begin to move out

Bob - Wait for a second Jessie, I need a word

Jessie - Yes Mr Moran?

Bob - You're being released in the morning I hear?

Jessie - Yes that's right, I was only in on a short sentence

Bob - Well I hope you stay out for good this time, I don't want to see you back here

Jessie - Oh don't worry, I won't be back again anymore. I've had enough, I did what I needed to do

Bob - Find out the truth about Lexie?

Jessie nods her head

Jessie - Yes I had to

Bob - Of course you did, I can understand that. I'm just so sorry the truth was so horrific

Jessie has tears in her eyes

Jessie - So am I. Now I have to explain to Julian somehow that his mummy isn't ever coming back, he asks for ''mummy'' all the time. How do you explain it to a one-year-old?

Bob - He's still young enough to adjust

Jessie - Forget her you mean? Yes, you're right, he won't remember her as he grows older and that's even more heartbreaking. He will forget his mummy and she doesn't deserve to be forgotten. Oh I know she was a bloody pain at times, she had her faults but she loved that child Mr Moran. She would have given him a good childhood I know she would have

Bob - Now it's down to you Jessie, you need to be there for him

Jessie - I will be and I won't let him forget his mother and how much she loved him

Bob - Will there be a funeral?

Jessie - Yes I intend to get that arranged as soon as I get out. A funeral with nobody, no one can accuse Lexie of not being different can they

Jessie smiles sadly and walks out of the rec room

Vera and Bea are walking along a corridor

Bea - OK Vera. what is this all about?

Vera - What is what all about?

Bea - You being nice to me, even as far as not reporting this to the governor. Usually, you would not hesitate to report it, anything to get me a stint in the pound

Vera - I don't like Clements much, the less I have to do with her the better

Bea - Not liking her wouldn't have stopped you reporting me in the old days. I want to know why you're being like this

Vera - I told you, things have changed now. I don't hate you anymore, I'm not against you anymore

Bea - Come on Vera, we've hated each other a long time. There has to be something going on here. What game are you playing?

Vera - No game Bea. It's just so much more pleasant if we get along. I'm getting along well with all the women these days

Bea - Yes so I heard...

Vera - But you were foolish picking a fight with Maxwell, you're just lucky it was me who caught you and not another officer!

Bea - Kath's a bitch Vera and I will get her next time I try

Vera - This is silly talk Bea, I'll pretend I didn't hear it

Bea - She's trouble

Vera - Well she was nice to me. Jim and she gave me a home when they really could have said no

Bea - Well that's very nice, but I still intend to fix her

Vera smiles and acts like she didn't hear

Vera - Do you see Bryant or Anderson these days?

Bea- No not since Lizzie's funeral

Vera - I often wonder how they are getting on...Bryant will be on tv tomorrow night for her concert

Bea - Yes I know, I will be watching in the rec room

Vera - I will watch too

Vera smiles at Bea, Bea smiles back awkwardly

They carry on down the corridor

GATESLAM

PART 2

Exterior shot of Wentworth in daytime

Inside the women are in the dining room as a badly beaten Shanice comes in

Cheryl is sat with Kath and looks over

Cheryl - Looks like someones had a go at Shanice

Kath look over

Kath - Probably Harris and Raymond

Cheryl - What are we going to do about Smith?

Kath - What do you mean?

Cheryl- Come on Kath, she's not likely to leave it is she, bound to try and get at you again

Kath - So let her, I'm top dog remember

Cheryl - Yeah, for now, Smith is bound to try and take over again

Kath - So let her try, the women all know that if they want drugs they need to keep me in not Smith

Cheryl looks fretful

Beth sits down with Shanice

Shanice - Who said you could sit here granny?

Beth- Come on we share a cell now, we may as well be civil with each other

Shanice - Thanks for all your help last night by the way I really appreciate it

Beth - Look I wanted to help but what could I do? They were both much younger women than I am,I can't fight young women like them they would tear me to shreds

Shanice sneers at her

Shanice - What's to say I won't tear you to shreds too Granny?

Beth bows her head and quietly eats her porridge

Bob and Vera are observing from the doorway

Bob - Looks like someones had a good go at Battersby

Vera nods her head

Vera - Yes, hardly surprising really. She does rub people up the wrong way

Bob - Do you think there is any point asking her who was responsible?

Vera shakes her head

Vera - She's not very bright but I think even she has learned the no lagging code now

Bob - Yes that's what I thought

Blackmoor

Colleen is sat behind her desk as Bruce shows Joan into the office

Colleen - Good morning Ferguson, how was your time in solitary?

Joan - Most relaxing I must say, plenty of time to think

Colleen - Think about what?

Joan - This and that you know

Colleen - I suppose you are aware that Gaffney died?

Joan - Yes I did hear a whisper, such a shame eh

Colleen - And Geoff could have died

Joan smirks

Joan - Ah yes Mr Carlson, how is he? I have been wondering

Colleen - He isn't so great right now, he is coming to terms with the prospect of being fitted with a prosthetic leg

Joan looks surprised

Joan - A prosthetic leg?

Colleen - Yes he had to have his leg amputated thanks to you

Joan - Oh what a pity...

Joan can barely hide her delight

Colleen - I'll warn you right now that I am going to see to it that you pay for this Ferguson, do you understand me? Your life will be absolute hell I'll make sure of it

Joan - Do you hear this Mr Cotton? Threats from the governor

Bruce - Sorry my ears must need cleaning, I couldn't hear a thing just now

Joan smirks

Joan - Oh I see, in it together are you?

Bruce - Officer Finley was a good mate of mine Ferguson

Joan - Well I'm sorry for your loss

Colleen - And are you sorry about Geoff losing a leg?

Joan - Yes of course...it must be tough on a man like him, a tough man, losing his leg. One wonders how he will cope with such a loss

Joan smirks again

Colleen gives her a look of hatred and turns to Bruce

Colleen - Get her out of my sight

Bruce leads Joan out of the office

Colleen sits looking angry

Joan and Bruce are walking up the corridor

Bruce - Sean was getting married soon you know, I've met his fiance they were so much in love and looking forward to their future together. But I don't suppose any of that matters to you right?

Joan - If I saw his fiance now I would offer my condolences. Mr Finley was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, it was certainly nothing personal

Bruce - Well I'm sure that will make Marina feel a whole lot better Ferguson

Joan - Marina?

Bruce - Yes that's his fiance's name
