Johnson screams out as Matt grabs him through the bars and pulls him up against them

Johnson - HELP ME, SOMEONE!

Matt - QUIET!

Matt begins to slash him with the knife

Johnson screams out as Matt slashes him across the face

Suddenly Matt is dragged off....by Vern

Vern - I DON'T KNOW HOW THE HELL YOU GOT OUT OF YOUR CELL SCUM!

Matt - Ask Officer Ferguson about that! She came to my cell for some fun and I knocked the silly bitch out!

Vern - RUBBISH!

Matt - No truth! I don't wish to appear crude but she couldn't wait to get her knickers off for me

Vern opens the door to the box next to Johnson's

Vern - GET YOUR BUTT IN THERE!

Vern throws Matt in the box and locks him in

Vern - It will stay here tonight until we decide on further punishment in the morning

Johnson - -Please Sir, I am bleeding. I need medical attention

Vern - Rubbish, it has a few cuts that is all! It will be fine

Vern marches off

Matt - Hey Johnson, fancy that eh, us two neighbours

Johnson - You psycho! You'll pay for that!

Matt - You can't get me from in there can ya

Johnson - Well I'll get out and then I'll get ya

Matt - That's if I don't get you first!

Matt chuckles

Matt - You screamed like a baby just now! Little baby boy Billy Johnson!

Billy - Shut up Brewer!

Lucy is coming around in the cell as Vern arrives

Vern - Are you ok?

Lucy - Yeah.....Brewer attacked me and knocked me out

Vern - I think we need to talk, Officer Ferguson

The phone is ringing

Kath answers

Kath - Hello?

Silence

Kath - Hello?

Heavy breathing

Kath -Who is this?

A voice talks in a creepy whisper - Kath...hello Kath!

Kath - Is that you Mark?

Voice - I've been watching you, Kath!

Kath - Leave me alone or I'll.....

Voice - You'll what? Set Jim on me?

Kath - Yes if I have to I will!

Voice - I'm really scared, Kath!

Kath - You should be, Jim will knock your block off

The person laughs

Voice - You need to try harder than that to scare me Kath!......btw I meant to say, you look real pretty Kath. I especially like that night dress you wear!

Kath - You bloody creep, stop this, or I'll call the police you got it!

Voice - How are little Scott and Charlotte? Both well I hope....be horrible if anything happened to them wouldn't it

Kath - You sick bastard! I will call the police, I mean it you bastard!

Voice - See you soon Kath!

The line goes dead

Kath slams the phone down looking freaked out

Jim calls out from the other room

Jim - Who was that love?

Kath - I think it was that creep next door again

Vern and Lucy are in the staff room where he hands her a coffee

Vern - You have some explaining to do. Brewer was attacking Johnson when I got there, had I not decided to do a spot check we may well have had a corpse on our hands

Lucy - He faked a seizure, I went into his cell to help him and he attacked me

Vern - He says you went to his cell for some fun?

Lucy - Oh what rubbish, I wouldn't be that foolish!

Vern - I don't like being lied to ya know

Lucy - I'm not lying it's the truth I swear. He faked a seizure and I went in to see if he was ok and that's all there is to it

Vern - Well even if it is, you were still foolish going in alone. You should have come for backup. A prisoner could be dead now if I hadn't arrived when I did

Lucy - Yes, I realize that. Are you going to report it?

Vern - I really should you know...but I won't this time. I'll deal with that scum Brewer without involving the governor

Lucy - Oh Mr Schofield thanks

Vern - But I will be keeping an eye on you. Any more mess-ups like the one tonight and I won't be so lenient

Lucy nods her head

Lucy - Yes I understand

Vern - And you owe me a favour too. I'll let you know when I want it

Lucy - What sort of favour?

Vern - Like I say I'll let you know when it's time

Lucy looks unnerved

Matt sits in his box as Lucy arrives at the bars

Matt - G'day gorgeous! Come to give me a kiss ave ya!

Lucy leans in close to whisper

Lucy - Listen to me you bastard, that was a real bad move last night. We could have had a nice thing going until you did that

Matt - I bet that bastard Schofield reported you right?

Lucy - Wrong, not this time

Matt - No harm done then!

Lucy - It's the last time I ever trust you, you won't get a chance to do that again....and you will regret doing that to me. I'll make sure you pay!

Matt (sarcastic) - Oh I'm real scared little girl!

Lucy - You should be. Don't underestimate me, not ever!

Matt - When can I expect your revenge then?

Lucy - I'll surprise you

Lucy leaves

Matt watches her go with a laugh

Billy - What did she want?

Matt - None of your business baby Billy!

Billy - She looked pretty angry!

Matt - How's the face this morning? Sore is it?

Billy - Bastard!

Matt chuckles

Joan is in her office with Nola

Nola - They will cause you problems...Vern, Meg, Marina and Lucy, all of them

Joan - Yes I know...

Nola - What will you do about them?

Joan - Deal with them as and when I have to, just like I dealt with Beacham.....and soon Janice will help me

Nola - Good luck getting Eileen to agree to Janice's transfer here, she asked to come here and Eileen sent her to Wentworth to torment her

Joan - Yes well Ted is head of the department and I can get him to make her agree to the transfer

Nola - I'm sure you can but you still have not told me how you will deal with the four of them

Joan narrows her eyes at Nola in anger

Joan - That's because it's really none of your business McKenzie!

Nola - I only want to help, like in the old days

Joan - How nice of you

Nola - Here's a word of warning;.....watch Beacham too. She may be a prisoner here but she'll still be out to get you now

Joan - I can handle her, I can handle the lot of them

Nola gives a mischievous grin

Nola - That's what you thought about Rita Connors too and look how she got the better of you!

Joan - Shut up McKenzie!

Nola chuckles

Joan - I said shut up! Stop laughing McKenzie!

There is a knock at the office door

Joan - Come in

Vern enters and looks around the office looking confused

Joan - Are you looking for anything in particular Mr Schofield?

Vern - Oh I'm sorry, I thought you had someone else in here with you

Joan - Well as you can see there is no one

Vern - Yes, I could have sworn I heard you talking to someone

Joan shakes her head

Joan - No, no one. As you can see I am here all alone

Vern - Yes, I can see...

Joan - Anything to report this morning? Any problems? Anything I need to know about?

Vern hesitates before answering

Vern - No Miss Ferguson, nothing at all

Exterior shot of the charity shop Vicki works in

Sandra and Toni enter carrying some black bags

Vicki is on the shop floor tidying and spots them, she looks surprised

Vicki - Mrs Clements...Miss Williams...Hi!

Sandra - Hello McPherson...we've come to drop off some donations

Vicki - Ok leave them here, I'll take them out the back for you

Sandra - thank you

Toni - How are you settling in here Vicki?

Vicki shrugs

Vicki - Oh ok I guess

Sandra looks impatient

Sandra - Come on Toni, we didn't stop here to talk to McPherson!

Toni - I just want to see how she's getting on that's all

Sandra - So ask her another time, it's our day off and we have plans remember

Toni sighs

Toni - Yes, how could I forget?

Toni looks sadly at the bags with her old clothes in

Toni - I really don't want to get rid of some of this stuff

Sandra - Nonsense, you will have a whole new wardrobe in no time!

Toni - Have a good day McPherson, see you later

Vicki - Yes see you miss

Sandra practically drags Toni out

Vicki watches them go with a curious shrug

Bob is in his office with Officer Bailey

Bob - We have a new arrival coming in from Ingleside Sue, She has been here before and I wanted to talk to you about her because I believe you worked here when she was here before

Bailey - Who is it Mr Moran?

Bob - Sandra Mason

Bailey - Ah Pixie, yes I remember Pixie! It was awful what happened to her

Bob - Ingleside feels she is finally ready for return to mainstream prison after a number of years at Ingleside....what I wanted to ask you is was there anyone here she was particularly close to? Anyone who could help her settle back in?

Bailey - Yes, Bryant would be the one to help with that. She was always very close to Mason

Pixie is in the reception with Vera

Vera - You are Sandra Louise Mason, is that correct?

Pixie - If you say so

Vera - IS THAT CORRECT? YES OR NO?

Pixie - As I said, if you say so

Vera - I want to hear it from you, now is that correct?

Pixie - Well if you say it is then it must be mustn't it

Vera - Are you trying to be smart Mason? I can throw you in solitary for that!

Pixie starts to cry

Pixie - No honestly I am not trying to be smart, please don't throw me in solitary, I hate it there. I am so frightened there!

Vera - Then why won't you answer a simple question?

Pixie - I won't answer because I don't know the answer. I don't know who I am or where I am

Vera rolls her eyes

Vera - Not another one with amnesia!

Pixie - Yes amnesia...yes that's right I have amnesia!

Vera - That trick won't work on me. I'll warn you right now

Bailey arrives

Bailey - Hello Pixie, we have been expecting you. How are you keeping?

Pixie looks at her blankly

Pixie - I'm sorry but do I know you?

Bailey - I'm officer Bailey, I was here last time you were here remember?

Pixie shakes her head

Pixie- No I'm sorry, I really don't remember you at all

Bailey - Well it's been a long time, hardly surprising I suppose

Vera - The stupid girl is making out she has amnesia Sue

Colleen and Geoff are sitting with Eileen in her office

Eileen - So what can I do for you both?

Geoff - It's about my desk job

Eileen - Ah yes, I felt that would be most appropriate for you Mr Carlton

Geoff - Well I hate it, I prefer to be where the action is

Eileen - Well I'm sorry but you do have a prosthetic leg...

Colleen - Having a prosthetic leg does not mean Geoff is useless

Eileen - No one is saying it does, it's just best to be safe that's all!

Geoff - I want to ask you please reconsider Mrs Raymond. There is so much more I have to offer than sitting doing paperwork all-day

Eileen - I'm sorry Mr Carlton but my mind is made up!

Colleen looks angry

Colleen - You won't even consider giving Geoff a chance?

Eileen - No I won't take a risk!

Colleen - Geoff has given years to the service, he deserves better than this! He is a damn fine officer

Eileen - Its either a desk job or nothing at all

Geoff - Then it will have to be nothing, I resign as of now

Eileen - Suit yourself.....

Colleen - I can't believe you are treating Geoff like this

Eileen - What you believe really doesn't interest me in the slightest

Colleen - Ooh you're a lousy old bitch!

Eileen - Resorting to name-calling now? How classy!

Geoff - Come on love, we're wasting our time here

Geoff stands up to go but Colleen stays in her seat

Colleen - You're a disgrace do you know that! You should do us all a favour and resign!

Eileen - Careful Mrs Powell, I can easily fire you if I want to

Colleen - Oh yeah? And how will you do that when I am quitting as of now?

Geoff - You don't have to quit, love

Colleen stands up

Colleen - Yes I do, after the way she's treated you

Eileen - Well don't slam the door on the way out will you!

Colleen - One day someone's going to give you such a smack in the mouth

Eileen - Are they really?

Colleen - Yes, just like this

Colleen hits Eileen in the face hard and sends her flying

Eileen clutches her cheek in shock

Eileen - YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT POWELL!

Colleen smirks

Colleen - And what will you do, fire me? I already quit remember. Come on Geoff, let's go

They leave

Judy is working in the garden

Bailey walks out into the grounds with Pixie

Bailey -Come and say hello to Judy, you'll be pleased to see her and she will be pleased to see you too I imagine

Pixie - Judy?

Bailey - Yes, your old friend

They arrive in front of Judy

Bailey - Bryant you may stop work for a minute, there is someone I want you to see

Judy looks up and lays eyes on Pixie

She jumps up with delight and hugs her

Judy - G'day love! Oh, it's so good to see ya! It's been a long time

Pixie stands unresponsive

Judy - So how are ya love? Oh, I've missed ya!

Pixie - Who are you?

Judy looks surprised

Judy - It's me love, Jude...you're old mate remember?

Pixie shakes her head

Pixie - I've never met you before

Judy looks distressed

Judy - But Pixie love, you must remember me. We were very close friends

Pixie - No I'm sorry, you must have me confused with someone else

Judy - What about Myra? Do you remember Myra?

Pixie - No sorry

Judy - Bobbie, you remember Bobbie?....and dear Cass?

Pixie shakes her head

Judy - What's the matter with her damn it? Why can't she remember?

Bailey - Come over here Bryant

Bailey and Judy walk up the garden a bit

Bailey - It seems Pixie has amnesia, she can't remember anything

Judy - Oh hell no

Bailey - Just be patient with her. You're the only inmate here who knew her back then. well apart from Smith anyway

Judy - Yeah and Sonia!

Bailey - Neither of those two would be suitable to help Mason right now, you're the best one to help her...she needs your help even if she can't remember you

Judy nods her head

Judy - Of course, I'll help her all I can

They both walk back to Pixie who is stood admiring the garden

Pixie - Such a beautiful garden, just like my old garden at home

Judy - Maybe you could come out here and help me with it if you like? We could ask Mr Moran if you can come out here, would you like that?

Pixie smiles sweetly

Pixie - Oh yes, I'd like that very much!

Colleen and Geoff are sitting in their car

Geoff - You shouldn't have quit too love, now we're both out of a job

Colleen - I wanted to, I couldn't work thereafter the way she treated you

Geoff - But it was my problem, shouldn't have involved you

Colleen - No truth be told my heart wasn't really in it anyway. As soon as I stepped in there and saw Joan and Marina again I knew I didn't want to be back there. My heart is just not in it anymore, I'm tired of it. Tired of Ferguson and Donovan and dealing with scum

Geoff - But what will you do now? You aren't the type to sit around all-day

Colleen - Honestly? I want to go traveling again

Geoff looks surprised

Geoff - Really? You never said anything about this before

Colleen - Well I'm saying it now. I was happy when I was traveling, seeing the world, meeting different people. It was an adventure, it was exciting. Ever since I've been back here I haven't really been happy, I feel trapped. I feel like a prisoner myself

Geoff - I had no idea you felt so strongly

Colleen -Well I do, I would be happy if I never stepped foot inside a prison again. Let the likes of Donovan and Ferguson get on with it. I only really went back for your sake and now that you've quit there is no need to stay...

Geoff - What about Meg? She wanted us to help her

Colleen - Of course, I'm sorry to let Meg down but I have to look after my own needs and my own happiness, I can't stay somewhere I don't want to be just to please Meg...anyway, Raymond won't have me back now after I hit her

Geoff can't resist a smile

Geoff - I was tempted to cheer when you did that

They both laugh

Colleen - The only question now is are you willing to come traveling with me?

Geoff looks thoughtful for a moment then smiles

Geoff - Yes why not, I'd love to Col. It's like you say, it will be an adventure

Colleen - let's leave tonight

Geoff - That soon?

Colleen - Yes, why put it off any longer? I can't wait to get off and see some more of the world

Geoff - Where do you want to go first?

Colleen - I think south America!...we'll start with Venezuela, I want to see Angel Falls!

They kiss

GATESLAM

PART 2

Kath and Jim are standing in their hallway with the babies in their prams. They are putting their jackets on

Kath - I'm not sure about this, I feel he is out there watching me

Jim - He is just trying to intimidate you, don't let him eh? If you let him it means he gets what he wants and he wins

Kath smiles

Kath - Yes you're right

Jim - Come on love, this walk in the park will do us both good before I have to go to work

Kath opens the front door and stops in her tracks with a look of shock on her face

Kath - Oh no I can't believe it!

Jim arrives and looks

Someone has emptied a load of rubbish over their doorstep and front garden, they have also ruined Kath's flowerbeds. Plants pulled out and torn to pieces

Kath - This has to be those mongrels next door

Jim - We don't know its then love

Kath - No? Just like we don't know it's Mark behind the calls? Of course, it's damn well them, who else would it be?

Sonia arrives at her cell and finds a note. It says

The laundry

Bea is on the press as an angry Sonia enters and storms over. She thrusts the note in Bea's face

Sonia - Very funny Smith! Leaving silly notes for me! Well, it will take more than stupid schoolgirl stuff like this to scare me you got it?

Bea - Oh shut up Stevens, as much as I'd like to take the credit for this I know nothing about it

Sonia - You expect me to believe that? I know you want to get at me for my part in Josie's death

Bea - True I do, but I have something better in mind than leaving silly notes for you

Sonia - I'm sure you do but you'd still enjoy tormenting me first. Well I'm warning you, just stop it now

Bea - I already told you I know nothing about the note

Sonia - And I told you I don't believe you

Bea - Are you going to do any work today Stevens?

Sonia storms over to the folding table

Bea stands looking intrigued
