Chrissie is extremely distressed

Chrissie - Look Please Neil, please leave

Neil - But I haven't come to hurt you, Chrissie, honestly I haven't

Chrissie - But you killed my baby Neil. Just being near you freaks me out, you can understand that can't you?

Neil smiles

Neil - I did not kill little Lizzie at all, I set her free, can't you see that? She was the daughter of a whore Chrissie, she was filthy just like her mother. Now she is clean you see?

Chrissie - You're round the bleeding twist do you know that!

Neil shakes his head

Neil - Oh no, I know what I'm talking about, believe me

Chrissie - I loved that little girl so much, I wish you'd killed me instead. You may as well have, I've felt dead since Lizzie's been gone

Neil - I do hope you have learned the error of your ways now at last? No more whoring yourself? You see God had to punish you Chrissie and he sent me to do it. Losing Lizzie was your punishment and now you can truly repent and earn forgiveness...if you've truly learned your lesson anyway

Neil shakes his head with sorrow

Neil - Otherwise there is simply no hope for you I'm afraid....and little Lizzie will have died for nothing

Chrissie loses it and attacks Neil, hitting him over and over

Chrissie - YOU BASTARD! YOU'RE OFF YA BLEEDING ROCKER!

Neil restrains her with a grin

Neil - Easy now Chrissie! Let's not be foolish eh?

Neil holds Chrissie's arms and gives them a squeeze

Chrissie cries out

Chrissie - YOU'RE HURTING ME!

Neil laughs

Neil -Yes! Yes, that's right, I am. You must learn to control that frightful temper of yours Chrissie!

Chrissie sobs

Chrissie - Please Neil, let me go now?

Neil - So long as you promise to behave?

Chrissie nods her head

Chrissie - Yes I promise

Neil - Good girl!

Neil lets Chrissie go, she sighs with relief and massages her arms

Neil - It's getting frightfully late isn't it. Perhaps its time for us to sleep now, we can chat again another night can't we

Chrissie looks into his eyes with a pleading look

Chrissie - Please Neil, don't come back again. I know you're sick, that's why you took my little girl, you're sick and you can't help yourself. But I can't stand to be around you, it's too painful

Neil acts like he didn't hear a word Chrissie just said

Neil - I'll see you again soon, get some sleep now

Neil gets up to leave

Chrissie lays down on her bed and quietly sobs as Terry and Bruce stand in the doorway smirking

Terry - Goodnight now Latham

Terry shuts the door and locks it

Terry and Bruce stand in the corridor with Neil

Bruce - Well she seemed in adequate distress to us, just what we wanted. Good work Murray

Neil - Thank you very much, officers. It's clear to me that Chrissie is still a deeply troubled soul. If i'm to have any hope of rescuing her I must see her every day

Bruce - Oh I'm sure that can be arranged!

Neil - Somehow I just knew it could be! We must all do our best to save her, work together as a team

Terry pats him on the back as they walk up the corridor

Terry - Oh absolutely Murray, we agree totally there!

Brumby and Cassie are already in the shower room as Judy and Vicki arrive

Brumby gives a filthy smirk

Brumby - G'day Vic, been getting to know Jude well have ya?

Vicki ignores her

Brumby - Hey I'm talking to you McPherson you dirty lezzo!

Vicki - I have nothing to say to you Brumby

Brumby - You know she tried it on with me once hey Jude? Still at least when she tries it on with you you won't say no eh? Be glad to have a pretty young girl in ya bed, I bet you don't get much attention at your age, old fat dyke!

Judy grabs Brumby around the throat

Judy - Will you cut it out, you're getting on my nerves! You have a bloody big mouth Tucker

Brumby - Yeah ok ok! Let me go will ya

Vera arrives in the doorway

Vera - Yes let her go, Bryant! Can't you keep your hands to yourself

Judy lets Brumby go with a sneer

Judy -Yeah well she's got a bloody filthy mouth on her

Vera - I expect she's right though Bryant, yourself, and McPherson are both that way inclined. I bet you wouldn't say no if she offered it

Judy - Listening outside the door were you Miss Bennett?

Vera smirks

Vera - Yes of course

Judy - Well you're as disgusting as Tucker is

Vera - Watch it, Bryant!

Vera continues to smirk

Vera - Why you should be so offended is beyond me. I mean we all knew you liked the younger ones, Tracy Morris and Georgie Baxter for example? Even Gilmour was a lot younger...so all I'm doing in fact is speaking the truth

Judy - Yeah well I don't want to talk about it anymore

Vera - Oh I bet you don't

Judy grabs a shower

Vicki gets out of the shower to find Brumby standing smirking at her. Vicki pushes past looking angry

Cassie - Gee Brum you sure know how to stir up some trouble around here

Brumby - Complaining about it are ya?

Cassie - Oh hell know, it makes this dump more fun

Brumby - Exactly, it would be boring if we didn't stir things up

They both grin

Vicki is leaving as Vera pulls her aside for a private chat

Vera - If Bryant is causing you any hassles I can have you moved into a different cell you know

Vicki - She's not Miss Bennett, honestly. She's been fine with me

Vera - Well let me know if she does hassle you

Vicki - Jude doesn't seem the type to hassle people. I'll be safe with her but thanks for your concern

Vera - I'm just doing my job that's all!

Vicki - Sure Miss Bennett

Vicki carries on down the corridor

Bea is with Bob in the office. Toni is also present

Bob looks troubled about something, unsure

Bob - It's about your granddaughter Smith

Bea looks alarmed

Bea - Nothing's happened to her has it? Oh god, please don't tell me she's died

Bob - No she's still in a stable condition

Bea sighs with relief

Bea - Well thank Gawd for that, you had me worried then

Bob- Yes I'm sorry...the thing is I have decided to take you to see her myself today

Bea and Toni both look surprised

Bea - But what about the department ruling that I couldn't see her?

Bob - I have decided to use my discretion and ignore that ruling

Bea looks delighted

Bea - Thanks Mr Moran, you're a pretty bloody decent man!

Bob - Take Smith to get ready Miss Williams, we will leave in about half an hour or so

Toni - Yes Mr Moran.....

Toni and Bea walk to the door, Toni opens it and lets Bea out, and then pauses in the doorway

Toni - Wait for me out here Smith, I need a word in private with Mr Moran

Toni closes the door again

Toni - Mr Moran about Smiths visit

Bob - Do you disapprove Miss Williams?

Toni - Oh no not at all, I thought it was outrageous that she was denied a visit, where is the damn compassion there?

Bob - Precisely....so what's on your mind then? Clearly, something is

Toni - Won't you get into trouble if the department finds out you disobeyed them?

Bob - I'll worry about that later on. Anyway, I don't intend to tell them about it and what they don't know can't hurt them. Sometimes it pays to let the department think its in charge but in reality, a good governor makes their own decisions about how to run their prison

Toni looks impressed

Sandra and Leanne are eating breakfast

Sandra - I have the day off work today love, I'm free all day so we can go out and enjoy ourselves. It looks like being a gorgeous day

Leanne - Go out? Are you sure that's sensible? What if someone recognizes me?

Sandra - We'll put a pair of sunglasses on you, it will be fine

Leanne looks unsure

Sandra - We simply must go out Jacqueline, I need to buy you some new clothes

Leanne - You don't have to, I don't expect you to spend money on me

Sandra - But I want to dear, you are my daughter after all. It's a mother's prerogative to be able to treat her daughter every now and then. You just can't do that with boys, I tried with Darren and he isn't interested in girlie shopping trips like the ones we used to have. I've missed them since you've been away love

Sandra flashes Leanne with a smile

Leanne smiles back awkwardly and drinks her tea

Vera is in reception as Bob arrives with Bea

Bob - I'm taking Smith out for a while Miss Bennett

Vera looks surprised

Vera - And may I ask where to, governor?

Bob sighs

Bob - To see her granddaughter if you must know. Now any objections?

Vera looks stunned

Vera - Yes you're damn right I object! You know full well the department denied Smith permission

Bob - Yes well I was not very happy with that decision. As governor, I am exercising my discretion to take Smith for her visit

Vera looks outraged

Vera - Well it's absolutely outrageous! It wouldn't happen if I were governor

Bob - Miss Bennett, how would you feel if your granddaughter was in a coma and you were denied the right to see her?

Vera - I don't have a granddaughter Mr Moran!

Bob - I'm asking you to try and put yourself in someone else's shoes for once if that is at all possible. I'm asking you to try and feel a bit of empathy for someone else for once in your life!

Vera - How dare you! I was only saying!

Bea - You're wasting your time Mr Moran. Miss Bennett wouldn't even let me attend my own daughters funeral, that's the sort of thing we are up against here

Vera rolls her eyes in anger

Vera - Trust you to rake that up again Smith! This must be the millionth time you've mentioned it now!

Bob - Oh come on Smith! This is just wasting time, lets get going

They leave and Vera watches them go while shaking her head with dismay

The laundry

Sonia's on the press. Vicki is quietly loading a dryer and Brumby and Cassie are looking at Vicki while whispering and laughing

Sonia glances over suspiciously

Toni arrives in the doorway with Pam

Toni - Ladies. Mrs Sparrow will be working in here with you, show her the ropes, please

Toni leaves again

Pam is left alone with the women

Brumby - You're on remand you don't have to work

Pam - I asked if I could

Cassie - Are you mad? Why did you do that, if I could laze around in me cell all day I would

Pam - I got bored....besides all I kept thinking about was what Derek did to me, how he threw away all my treasures! I need to keep my mind on something else

Sonia - You can help Brumby and Cassie with the folding

Pam nods her head

Pam - Yes ok

Pam joins Brumby and Cassie at the folding table

Brumby - Tell us more about your treasures Pam!

Cassie - Yeah please do, we're dead curious

Pam - Oh well you see every single day for the past 30 years I have bought the daily newspapers and kept them all! So I can have a handy record of all world events! Then, I also rescued toasters, mattresses, fridges. All the things people throw out! I even found a broken toilet seat that someone had thrown out once! I mean heavens above, that could be repaired and used again

Brumby and Cassie laugh their heads off

Brumby - You're mental Pam!

Pam begins to cry

Pam - I still can't believe Derek threw it all away!

They laugh some more

Pam - Why are you laughing at me? You're a pair of very cruel girls!

Meg arrives in the doorway

Meg - Tucker, McDonald, what have you been doing to Pam?

Brumby - Oh gee nothing miss I swear

Meg - Why is she crying then?

Cassie - Gee beats us!

Pam - They laughed at me Mrs Morris. They laughed and mocked me

Meg - I see...

Brumby - Oh Mrs M, we never did!

Vicki - They did I heard them. They teased and bullied her cruelly

Meg - You're both on report, you'll see the governor later. Mr Moran made his anti-bullying policies perfectly clear

Meg leaves again

Brumby looks angrily at Vicki

Brumby - Thanks a lot, McPherson! You really landed us in it

Cassie - Yeah! Thanks a bunch bitch!

Vicki laughs at them

Brumby flies at her and they scrap

Brumby - You bloody bitch!

Sonia rushes over and pulls them apart

Sonia - Ok you two that's enough! Now let's get on with some work shall we

Brumby rejoins Cassie at the folding table

Brumby - That bitch is gonna pay for that

Cassie - What ya got planned, Brum?

Brumby - Not sure yet, need to think about it

Cassie Well whatever you decide to do I'll help ya!

Brumby nods her head

Sandra and Leanne are in a clothes shop looking at dresses. Leanne is wearing sunglasses

Sandra - Seen any you like yet?

Leanne picks one out

Leanne - I really like this one

Sandra - Try it on then

Leanne - Have you seen the price tag? It's way too expensive, I couldn't expect you to pay for this

Sandra - I told you, today I'm spoiling you! Nothing is too expensive so go and try it on

Leanne - Well ok then

Leanne walks towards the changing rooms

Vera is in the staff room as Meg enters

Meg - I just had to put Michelle Tucker and Cassie McDonald on report

Vera - So tell me something surprising! They are a right pair of troublemakers those two

Meg sighs

Meg - Yes...

Vera - What did they do anyway?

Meg - They were teasing the new woman, Sparrow

Vera - Ah yes, well Sparrow is a few grapes short of a bunch anyway! It's hardly surprising if the women pick on her!

Meg - Now come on Vera, just because she might be a little odd doesn't make it alright for the women to bully her

Vera - No, I suppose not!.....well anyway have you heard what Moran has done?

Meg - If you mean about taking Smith to see Chloe then yes, he told me about it

Vera - And you're alright with it?

Meg - As a matter of fact, yes I am, I'm glad he has the compassion and the backbone to do it. The last thing Wentworth needs is an obedient robot for the department

Vera - Well I have a good mind to report him!

Meg - Oh I don't think you'll be too popular if you do that Vera! No one likes a snitch much!

Vera - Relax, I didn't say I will report him. Not this time anyway. But I can't pretend I'm not disappointed. Being an ex-army man I expected Moran to really crack the whip here, not take Prisoners out on cozy days out!

Meg looks incredulous

Meg - Cosy? The woman's granddaughter is lying critically ill in a coma, I'd hardly call that a cozy day out you fool!

Vera - I was only saying...

Meg snaps

Meg -WELL JUST DON'T SAY ANY MORE! I'VE JUST ABOUT HAD ALL I CAN TAKE OF YOUR RUBBISH VERA! I'M SICK OF HEARING IT! THOSE WOMEN ARE HUMAN BEINGS...

Vera - THEY ARE ANIMALS

Meg - THEY ARE NOT ANIMALS DAMN IT! SMITH HAS THE RIGHT TO SEE HER GRANDDAUGHTER, FRANKLY, I THOUGHT IT WAS DISGUSTING THAT SHE WAS DENIED A VISIT, TO BEGIN WITH UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES!

Vera - YES WELL I DIDN'T! I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST RIGHT!

Meg - YES YOU WOULD YOU BITCH!

Vera storms out, nearly bumping into a shocked looking Toni who is stood in the doorway

Meg - I'm sorry you had to hear that

Toni - It was a bit of a surprise, usually, you're one of the few people Vera gets on with, apart from me

Meg - I just get sick of her attitude sometimes...sometimes she takes it too far

Toni - I know...I don't think she can help it though. She's stuck in a particular way of thinking and won't snap out of it

Meg - Yes I know, it just makes me so mad sometimes that's all

Meg sighs

Meg - I'd best get on with my rounds

Meg leaves the room

Bea and Bob are at the hospital with Chloe, she is wired up to a machine with tubes everywhere

Bea is crying

Bea - God...I never imagined she'd be this bad

Bob - She's in the best hands Smith, I promise you they will be doing all they can for her

Bea sits beside Chloe and strokes her face

Bea - Can you hear me, love? You have to pull through, you have to. I can't lose you too. That was a bloody silly thing you did trying to kill yourself, there is never any problem that can't be fixed in time. You just have to hang on and wait, not throw in the towel.....anyway listen to me lecturing you, you don't need that right now. Just know that i love you and I need you to wake up and be ok love!

Bea sobs

Bea - Can you hear me, Chloe? Please wake up sweetheart

GATESLAM

PART 2

Blackmoor

Colleen is in the office as Bruce enters

Bruce - Mrs Powell, I thought you'd like to know that Mr Carlson's just arrived back

Colleen - Yes thanks Bruce, I was expecting him in today

Geoff is in the reception with Marina

Marina - How was your holiday then?

Geoff - A disaster if you must know

Marina - Yes I heard about Latham, still it allowed yourself and Powell a chance to play hero didn't it

Geoff - It was a terrifying situation, I hope I never have to face such a situation again

Marina - No more terrifying than the hostage situation with Ferguson surely? At least this one didn't cost you another limb

Geoff stares at Marina, she grins at him

Geoff - I must get started now, can't stand here all-day

Marina - Be careful eh, need to keep your wits about you. Don't want a repeat of the Peterson incident

Geoff marches off while Marina chuckles to herself

Meg is with Greg in the surgery

Meg - Seeing you here like this is bizarre, it feels like you were never away

Greg - Well I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. It still reminds me of Karen

Meg- Will you and Karen give it another go do you reckon? She seemed very eager to see you

Greg - Look, Meg, I told you, it's you I want now

Meg - I have to get back to work...

Meg turns to leave but Greg stops her

Greg - No Meg, don't keep avoiding the issue...won't you come out for dinner with me tonight so we can talk?

Meg studies the floor

Meg - Look Greg, i don't know

Greg - For heaven's sake Meg, I'm only asking you to have dinner with me that all! Please say you'll come

Meg smiles reluctantly

Meg - Well ok then

Greg- I've already booked a table for 9 pm

Meg - Oh have you indeed?

Greg smiles cheekily

Greg - Well i thought I'd book just in case you said yes. No harm in being prepared is there?

Meg smiles back

Leanne and Sandra are sitting in a cafe

Leanne is wearing her new dress

Sandra - The next thing on the list after this is a trip to the hairdressers, see if we can get them to do something with your hair

Leanne shakes her head

Leanne - You've already spent enough money on me for one day

Sandra - No, today I will spoil you rotten. I have barely even started yet
