Episode 1
Time to go.
Where's that medic? Get that medic in here, now! You did all you could.
Thank God you were here.
Let's just hope it was enough.
So what happens now? Well .
.
looks like you're the new governor.
Come on, you lot.
We're a big happy family here at Bridewell.
We even do secret Santa every Christmas.
Oh, imagine unwrapping that under the Christmas tree.
Onwards.
Thanks.
Are you sure you're OK, Dominique? I'm fine.
It's Alison we need to think about now.
They're not going to wake her until the swelling's gone down in h Which means we need to manage things until she's better.
As the new governor, you're going to I've only been deputy for two weeks.
Protocol is protocol.
And the board will want to make an announcement sooner rather than later.
You're far more experienced than I am.
I'm not the one they promoted.
Can I ask what happened? Your guess is as good as mine.
Keep moving forward, ladies.
Name? Anderson.
Chloe Anderson, sorry.
Sorry OK, next.
Look, I'm flattered to be asked, really.
I was hoping you'd be a little more ambitious.
Oh, I'm very ambitious, Dame Stella.
I just don't want to run before I can walk.
Caution can be an admirable quality Ms Derby, it can also be a big hindrance to progress.
Sinead thinks you can cut it, and I trust her judgment.
You'll have our full support.
Won't she, Sinead? 100%.
Hey, I'm Laura.
And you're Chloe Anderson.
How do you know that? CLAPPING Attention.
For the new ones among you, a warm welcome to Love Island, AKA the first night centre.
For the rest of you, welcome home.
After your health and level of crazy assessment, you'll be assigned to your hotel.
The lucky ones will get a room to themselves, a bit of peace and quiet to sit and think about how even more screwed up your life has become.
The others, you'll be sharing, so you get to compare crap and decide who's got it the worst.
I'm thinking you'll win that one.
Keep up, I don't get paid overtime.
First time, right? What, locked up or knocked up? Both? Yeah.
Don't worry, it all looks, sounds, feels and smells worse than it is.
Hey, that's more like it.
More of that, less of the victim face.
It's never a good look i Oi, revolver, get a rattle on.
It's not like you don't know the ropes.
Come on, let's not keep Mamma Morton waiting.
Who? You eat three times a day.
Except today.
Far too much to get through.
Oh, don't cry.
There will be something suitably sweet and carbolicious waiting in your rooms.
By the time you leave here, you'll look like the back of the sweat box you came in.
Shower block.
One minute of hot water per inmate per day, so make it count.
Right, come on, let's go.
Chop chop.
On to visiting Hey, are you coming? Are we supposed to remember all this? Well, yeah, there won't be much else to do in here, trust me.
You've been here a few times, then? Define "a few".
Listen, all you have to remember is keep your head down, keep your eyes open and keep that shut.
It'll make your time go a lot quicker.
Revolver? Once more unto the breach, eh? ALARM SOUNDS Well, they don't hang about, I'll say that for them.
Life goes on, Officer Trent.
I'm sure Governor Hayes will be back before we know it.
She looked pretty unavailable when they were wheeling her out in that ambulance.
Aneurysm, they're saying.
Well? You were there.
Still, good for you though, eh? Excuse me? I didn't ask for any of this to happen.
God works in mysterious ways.
It's not the Priory, but at least you don't have to wait a month for an appointment.
You'll all be assessed at some point today.
We'll head to the guest suites in a minute.
Single, double and triple deluxes, all mod cons with complementary cockroaches.
Joyce, let me get that for you.
Joyce, everyone.
After transfer, anything you need, Joyce is the woman to get it for you, aren't you, Joyce? Don't get on the wrong side of her though, as she is liable to whack you over the head with a chip pan.
Just watch it, Sherry.
Move.
Not seen you before.
You the stripper? Laura McDermott, wanted in medical.
Yeah, here.
Williams Rolls right off the tongue, don't it? Want to know what else would roll right off my tongue? Shall we go, then? Follow me.
I was sure it was this way The clueless leading the worthless.
How many have come in today, Officer Dolan? Erm, nine.
Six revolvers Sorry, reoffenders.
Which is funny, because it's usually a full card.
Yep? Doctor Wendell, this is Ms Derby.
Acting Governor Derby.
Fast track.
I don't think we've had the pleasure yet? Hi.
And this is Officer Williams.
I see you two have got something in common straight away.
First day in the job? Do you mind if I sit in? Sure.
This is Laura McDermott, 28 years of age, history of drug use.
She's completed one detox but relapsed.
When did you say, Laura? A year ago.
What kind of drugs? Methamphetamine, heroin.
She's been rattling longer than she hasn't.
Officer Trent, do you mind stepping out? OK, there are a number of things that we can try.
Yeah, I've done them all.
Which is why we need to look at the bigger picture.
I know how difficult this is.
Prison, it's the easiest place to get on the stuff but the toughest place to get off it.
No, not for me.
I can do it in here.
I can't do it out there.
Well, I'll be doing everything I can my end to give you a fighting chance.
Can you do the same for me? OK, then.
We'll start you on 80mg of methadone.
Just see how you go.
I don't want to take anything.
Oh, cold turkey could do you more harm than good.
It's not safe.
Dollies don't do it for me.
I've tried it, it doesn't work.
If I'm going to get clean, it has to be all or nothing.
You really should listen to the doctor.
Kardashians in here.
Oh, lunch is served.
Thank you, Joyce.
This is you, Bambi.
What, am I own my own? What's up? Scared of the dark? You need to give me that.
Why? It's all I've got.
You came with nothing, you leave with nothing.
But you let the others keep their stuff.
Well, you're not the others, are you? I won't ask again.
You're not taking it.
Pick it the fuck up.
Nice one, mate, cheers.
I'll be having that, too.
No! No, please.
Everything all right here, Simms? Oh, yeah, home sweet home.
Just give it back! There's always one.
Just tell her to give it back.
Get yourself back inside there or I'll write you up.
Now, go on.
And watch your back.
The new sheriff's on the prowl.
So, this is where the party's at, yeah? We're sharing? Well, technically you already are.
Why aren't you with the others, exploring? Make the most of it.
You've got your stuff.
Yeah, haven't you? Hey She took everything.
That woman officer.
She's not an officer, you muppet.
What? But she took my baby.
How could she do that? Oh, God.
It's all right.
We'll get it back.
We'll get it back.
It's all right.
Take it.
What do you mean? But it's not yours.
It smells ever so nice, Joyce.
It's not yours though, is it? Do you want to have a whiff, Joyce? Why don't you stop just taking things that aren't yours? Maybe you just need to calm down.
All right, everybody.
Bit of hush, please.
Quiet! Governor Hayes is unable to continue for the foreseeable future, so I'd like you to meet our acting governor, Dominique Derby.
Good afternoon.
Good afternoon, ladies.
I won't keep you.
Good, because we have places to be, you know.
Quite, Gilani.
Well, I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that Governor Hayes is recovering.
Was it you that did it, Dominique? Will you just shut it, Sherry? All right, Joyce, I'm just saying it's great timing, innit? It's convenient.
I'm going to come over there I'm really looking forward to getting to know you all.
And I want you to know that my door is always open.
Metaphorically, at least.
What does that mean? Long word.
There's room for dialogue here.
I'm a woman, same as you.
Well, not all of us, eh, Joyce? Oh, shut up.
And just because some of us made different choices in life doesn't mean that I don't want to try and understand you.
Yeah, There's no judgment here, I can promise you that.
There but for the grace of God go all of us, right? I don't think God's got anything to do with it.
You all have a voice, don't be afraid to use it.
She will.
In a constructive way.
Yeah, she won't.
Oh, Angel fucking Gabriel over here, I see.
Enough, Simms.
All right, Brian.
Now, seeing as I'm happy to let you into my house, I think it's only fair that you let me into yours, don't you think? Not really, no.
Get the stuff Here we go.
Right, you lot.
Work detail, out you go.
Come on.
Bedrooms? Hmm.
Look at all this.
I'd offer you a cuppa, but we're all out of milk.
It's about the only thing you're out of.
I don't like throwing things away.
Except your future, clearly.
You don't know me.
Cock of the block.
Every prison has one.
You'll be late for work, Sherri.
Hooch? Yep.
Code blue, the gym.
What are you waiting for, permission? Let's go.
SHOUTING Please, girls In your own time, fellas.
Come on Impressive.
Amira Khan, 26.
Death by dangerous driving, yeah, I know.
They were supposed to be meditating.
All right, show's over.
Take your places.
Yoga.
I always wanted to try that.
We've got a spare pair of shorts somewhere.
Maybe another time.
All right, downward dog.
And hold for ten.
Nine Got them eating out of your hand.
I hypnotise them.
One of the many things I do here.
Circuit training, dance, mind control.
Quite the programme.
We could do more.
Much more.
I'm open to suggestions.
Not many takers, though.
Well, exercise can hardly compete with the delights of, say, getting off one's tits on the drug of one's choice, can it? I suppose some people feel they have nothing to lose.
That's the point of punishment, isn't it? To lose the things you love.
Control to Officer Trent.
Cover required at MBU.
Copy that.
Shall we? Break it up, break it up now.
Hey, Sherri, Sherri! What the fuck do you want? Give us the picture back, the one you took off Chloe.
Should have known you'd pick up a stray.
Now you've not got that lump of a brother to fuss over.
It makes sense you'd find a replacement.
Makes you feel needed, doesn't it? Well, I think we both know what you really need.
No, I'm getting clean.
Not that it's any of your business.
I tell you what is my business, though.
Getting things up and running again.
Supply chain's a bit thin at the moment, just can't get the staff.
Miss you, Laura, and your connections.
Me and Luke broke up.
Really? Mm.
Come on, you will never really leave him.
You need him too much.
What he can give you.
Look at you, you're rattling faster than a snake.
The meth's already wearing off, right? I can fix that.
We can fix that.
I don't want anything off you.
Yeah, you do.
It's just one phone call, Laura.
One call, and mummy gets her baby back.
Fuck you.
In the nappy? It's not uncommon.
They'll try anything to get the stuff in.
Just a kid herself.
Most of them are.
That one will be walking, soon, then we start counting, six, seven more weeks.
They'll get taken away.
I sometimes wonder if they shouldn't take them away the moment the That sounds heartless, I know.
I didn't mean it to be.
The father smuggled that in.
That's what these kids are going back out to.
What chance have they got? Thank you both.
We need to break the cycle.
Good luck with that.
Where did you go? I thought you were going to try and get some rest.
I can't.
You need to eat something.
They'll take it away otherwise.
I feel sick.
Well, think about the baby.
Look, it's just a picture.
Do you really need it that badly? It's all I've got.
Pick something, anything.
What? Go on, before I change my mind.
Er, shampoo.
Oh, good choice.
You're going to need it.
OK, so I'm breaking my own rule here because I'm really not arsed, but you are killing me.
What are you in for? I didn't do anything.
Suit yourself.
Hiding a gun.
It was my boyfriend's.
Bad boyfriend.
Sounds like a keeper.
He just told me to put it where no-one would find it.
I didn't know it was actually a bloody gun.
But you knew it was dodgy? Sorry, I'm not judging you.
We're both in here, aren't we? How long have they given you? You're on remand? Well, there's hope, then.
You will be out by the weekend.
Solicitor says it'll just be a couple of weeks.
Oh, fuck's sake, you used your phone call to phone your solicitor.
You'll see him tomorrow.
Her.
Oh, well, you're fucked then.
Female briefs are bitches.
There she is, hallelujah.
So what about this fellow of yours, then? He'll be going mad.
We've never actually gone so long without speaking to each other.
He'll be thinking all sorts.
Did you get picked up at the same time? Your family? I've made my bed, now I can lie in it, apparently.
Well, while you are doing that maybe you can eat something.
Chloe Anderson, time for your medical.
It's definitely this way.
Chloe Anderson, the pregnant one? I've got older socks.
Does it shock you? It's just different, suddenly being responsible for people.
She's a remand prisoner.
Yeah, but she had nothing, not even a bar of soap.
Was she even checked in? I'll make enquiries.
This is a good place.
We do the best with what we've got, but we have to be realistic too, we're stretched.
Sometimes the inmates don't get the care they need.
Yeah, but she only just got here.
Already this isn't good enough.
Things need to change.
And I'm sure you're the right person to change them, just don't go making any promises you can't keep.
We've been this way.
No, we haven't.
You're lost.
I am not lost.
Come on.
Oi! Fresh meat, girls! Shit.
WOLF WHISTLE Fucking hell.
Doesn't look good.
Mate, you all right? Come here.
What's happened to you? You need to go back that way.
Come here! Come on! Where's the medical centre? Back through that door.
No, it's quicker to go that way.
What are you even talking about? It's that way! SHOUTING Oh, my God.
Poor lass.
Would you? In a fucking heartbeat! It was definitely a photo.
I couldn't see what it was.
She crumpled it up and threw on the ground.
And then she got her bag and she emptied it.
Well, they say there's only one thing worse than being talked about.
Had a good day, have you? Profitable? If you've got something to say, Amira, spit it the fuck out.
OK.
Would you take for my girlie? Not you and all.
I saw you, you know.
You're beginning to sound more and more like the screws every day, Joyce.
Mind you, you've been here long enough, you probably shagged them all too.
Don't, Joyce.
It's not worth it.
Don't.
Is it some kind of competition, Williams? Sir? To see who can make the biggest cock-up on a first day.
Sorry, sir.
It was a simple transfer.
My Jack Russell could have done it blindfolded, and he's deaf.
I got disorientated, sir.
I'm still finding my way around.
It's not the Crystal Maze.
And another thing.
never ever lay hands on an inmate without another officer present.
There wasn't anyone else there.
Precisely.
You're supposed to be supervising me.
You! Gate, gate.
HE CLEARS HIS THROA You gave us a fright there, young lady.
Is my baby OK? It was just a panic attack.
Baby's fine.
Are you sure? I want to see her.
Are you having a girl? I want a girl.
We can't do scans here, I'm afraid.
But I want another picture.
That bitch took my other one.
Who took your picture, Chloe? Just give me another one, please.
I'm sorry, we can't.
Right, well, I need to call my boyfriend.
He'll be worried about me - about us.
We're worried about you, Chloe.
And we're going to keep an eye on you, OK, make sure you're looking after yourself.
Take her back to her room, and try not to get lost.
DOOR SHUTS DOOR OPENS Chlo? What the hell? What? Just lie down.
Go ahead.
Williams.
DOOR SHUTS SHE SIGHS What happened today with Chloe Anderson is unacceptable.
An inmate was put in a vulnerable position by a prison officer.
It could have been a much more serious situation.
Sorry, Governor.
You were left unsupervised, Officer Williams.
/fo It was a breach of protocol.
It's not a question of protocol - it's a question of maths.
There aren't enough of us.
We can't be everywhere.
You're his superior, Officer Trent.
You should have been with him.
Where were you, Brian? I was attending an altercation on the wing.
Prior to that, I was conducting a mandatory cell search.
Then Officer Williams should have been with you.
Then there would have been nobody to complete the FNC medicals, and they take priority.
That's what protocol says.
All new intakes to be medically assessed within four hours of arrival.
But wasn't Officer Dolan meant to be overseeing the medicals? Inmates can't be left unattended whilst they wait.
It just seems like an ineffective use of resources.
That's because it is.
Janine.
OK, look, from now on, no junior officer is to be left unsupervised font color="whit Then we need more staff.
You know that's not going to happen.
Well, doubling up is going to make even more gaps than there are already.
Right now, we should all on dinner duty, because it's the busiest time of the day, and yet we're stood here - for what? You want another situation, Governor - we won't have to wait long.
Do you have any family? There is my brother, Horse.
Our dad loved that cowboy show they never stopped playing - Bonanza.
Ah, don't worry, his real name's Lee.
He's a big fucker, but soft as shit.
Yeah, he's the only good thing in my life, really.
The only thing I .
.
truly love.
And he deserves better than a car crash like me for a sister.
Sorry.
If you say sorry one more time, I'll bloody deck you.
SHE LAUGHS How did it feel when you thought you'd had the baby? Um .
.
scared.
Scared for yourself, or scared for her? Oh, for her.
Not me.
I don't care about myself.
Don't say that.
Why not? Because the more you say it, the more you believe it.
I'm so frightened.
I'm scared of giving birth.
I'm scared of the pain.
Well, pain's relative.
Trust me on that one.
And what if I'm a shit mum? What then? Well, I've got one of them.
Oh! Sorry.
What did I say? Sorry.
No, you'll be a great mum.
DOOR OPENS Seriously, Brian.
You're going to have to make her see sense.
Look, the governor's got a point.
No way should Williams be wandering this place on his own.
Yes, and Governor Hayes knew that too.
She just let us work around it.
Governor Hayes isn't here.
Why are you taking her side? I'm not taking sides.
Doesn't it bother you? Lots of things bother me, Brian.
Yeah, but not enough to do anything about it, eh? Is that why you never went for the job - afraid you might hav You know why.
I thought I thought your lad was getting better.
Good days and bad days.
And that's never going to change.
Well, look, all I'm saying, Sinead, is if this is how she's going to run things, there mightn't be a job for any of us.
She'll be fine, Brian.
It'll all be fine.
It'll be fine.
Go on.
Ta-ra.
DOOR SHUTS INDISTINCT CHATTER Sorry to interrupt the festivities, ladies.
Here are all the wildly exciting courses, certificates and other shit you can do while you're in here.
Anything that takes your fancy, sign up on the board before lights out.
But please, don't fight over the flower arranging.
Oi, ready to meet, before lights out, same place.
BELL Connor? Yeah, it was you I wanted to speak to, actually.
Really.
Should have known you'd worm your way back in there.
She's always liked me.
What did you for her, a rock or two to until I called? You're a cynical bitch.
Yeah, and you're a dick.
Oh, we're back together, then? No, it doesn't mean we're going to get back together.
Come on, Laura.
I'm done with your shit.
Yeah? Yeah.
No, I'm doing this for someone else.
Oh, yeah? Who? None of your fucking business who.
Well? I'm not going to turn down business, am I? OK.
Yeah, so I'll arrange it, then.
Oh, and Luke, get the fuck out of my mother's house.
Dickhead.
So you'll leave her alone? I've given you what you wanted.
Say it.
As long as your man gets the gear coming in, I won't go near Bambi.
I'll still be watching her, though.
Watching both of you.
You'd better not be fucking me about.
Ditto.
Good to be back in business.
WHISTLE SHE SOBS DOOR OPENS SHE SOBS SHE SOBS SHE SOBS You're going to be late.
You're making me later.
Mmm.
Well, I'd love to stop and chat, but What do you want? Fell out of your window.
What are you going to do? Send me to bed without any supper? I'm not afraid of you.
You should be.
You need to calm down.
Don't want to end up like Governor Hayes.
Dangerous job being governor.
Is that a threat? I'm not threatening anyone.
Especially not the new queen of Bridewell.
I see you.
For everything that you are.
Yeah? Yeah.
Yeah, you suck the life out of everyone around you until they're font color="yell Cos that's what happened to you all your life, isn't it? Nobody cared about you.
Nobody noticed you.
You were invisible.
And you hated being invisible.
You don't know me.
Yeah, I do.
In here, you're somebody.
You've got people at your beck and call.
You rarely get your hands dirty.
You don't need to, but it's not really you that they're afraid of.
No, it's the idea of you.
That's your power.
It's the only power you've got.
You don't know shit.
Governor Hayes might have let you roam your little kingdom, but here's the thing.
It's not your kingdom any more.
It's mine.
So here's a piece of advice, and you'd do well to listen to it.
If you're going to go shooting at the queen, the real queen, you'd better make damn sure that you don't miss.
Where's that medic? Get that medic in here, now! You did all you could.
Thank God you were here.
Let's just hope it was enough.
So what happens now? Well .
.
looks like you're the new governor.
Come on, you lot.
We're a big happy family here at Bridewell.
We even do secret Santa every Christmas.
Oh, imagine unwrapping that under the Christmas tree.
Onwards.
Thanks.
Are you sure you're OK, Dominique? I'm fine.
It's Alison we need to think about now.
They're not going to wake her until the swelling's gone down in h Which means we need to manage things until she's better.

Joyce, let me get that for you.

I know how difficult this is.
Prison, it's the easiest place to get on the stuff but the toughest place to get off it.
No, not for me.
I can do it in here.
I can't do it out there.
Well, I'll be doing everything I can my end to give you a fighting chance.
Can you do the same for me? OK, then.
We'll start you on 80mg of methadone.
Just see how you go.
I don't want to take anything.
Oh, cold turkey could do you more harm than good.
It's not safe.
Dollies don't do it for me.
I've tried it, it doesn't work.
If I'm going to get clean, it has to be all or nothing.
You really should listen to the doctor.
Kardashians in here.
Oh, lunch is served.
Thank you, Joyce.
This is you, Bambi.
What, am I own my own? What's up? Scared of the dark? You need to give me that.
Why? It's all I've got.
You came with nothing, you leave with nothing.
But you let the others keep their stuff.
Well, you're not the others, are you? I won't ask again.
You're not taking it.
Pick it the fuck up.
Nice one, mate, cheers.
I'll be having that, too.
No! No, please.
Everything all right here, Simms? Oh, yeah, home sweet home.
Just give it back! There's always one.
Just tell her to give it back.
Get yourself back inside there or I'll write you up.
Now, go on.
And watch your back.
The new sheriff's on the prowl.
So, this is where the party's at, yeah? We're sharing? Well, technically you already are.
Why aren't you with the others, exploring? Make the most of it.
You've got your stuff.
Yeah, haven't you? Hey She took everything.
That woman officer.
She's not an officer, you muppet.
What? But she took my baby.
How could she do that? Oh, God.
It's all right.
We'll get it back.
We'll get it back.
It's all right.
Take it.
What do you mean? But it's not yours.
It smells ever so nice, Joyce.
It's not yours though, is it? Do you want to have a whiff, Joyce? Why don't you stop just taking things that aren't yours? Maybe you just need to calm down.
All right, everybody.
Bit of hush, please.
Quiet! Governor Hayes is unable to continue for the foreseeable future, so I'd like you to meet our acting governor, Dominique Derby.
Good afternoon.
Good afternoon, ladies.
I won't keep you.
Good, because we have places to be, you know.
Quite, Gilani.
Well, I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that Governor Hayes is recovering.
Was it you that did it, Dominique? Will you just shut it, Sherry? All right, Joyce, I'm just saying it's great timing, innit? It's convenient.
I'm going to come over there I'm really looking forward to getting to know you all.
And I want you to know that my door is always open.
Metaphorically, at least.
What does that mean? Long word.
There's room for dialogue here.
I'm a woman, same as you.
Well, not all of us, eh, Joyce? Oh, shut up.
And just because some of us made different choices in life doesn't mean that I don't want to try and understand you.
Yeah, There's no judgment here, I can promise you that.
There but for the grace of God go all of us, right? I don't think God's got anything to do with it.
You all have a voice, don't be afraid to use it.
She will.
In a constructive way.
Yeah, she won't.
Oh, Angel fucking Gabriel over here, I see.
Enough, Simms.
All right, Brian.
Now, seeing as I'm happy to let you into my house, I think it's only fair that you let me into yours, don't you think? Not really, no.
Get the stuff Here we go.
Right, you lot.
Work detail, out you go.
Come on.
Bedrooms? Hmm.
Look at all this.
I'd offer you a cuppa, but we're all out of milk.
It's about the only thing you're out of.
I don't like throwing things away.
Except your future, clearly.
You don't know me.
Cock of the block.
Every prison has one.
You'll be late for work, Sherri.
Hooch? Yep.
Code blue, the gym.
What are you waiting for, permission? Let's go.
SHOUTING Please, girls In your own time, fellas.
Come on Impressive.
Amira Khan, 26.
Death by dangerous driving, yeah, I know.
They were supposed to be meditating.
All right, show's over.
Take your places.
Yoga.
I always wanted to try that.
We've got a spare pair of shorts somewhere.
Maybe another time.
All right, downward dog.
And hold for ten.
Nine Got them eating out of your hand.
I hypnotise them.
One of the many things I do here.
Circuit training, dance, mind control.
Quite the programme.
We could do more.
Much more.
I'm open to suggestions.
Not many takers, though.
Well, exercise can hardly compete with the delights of, say, getting off one's tits on the drug of one's choice, can it? I suppose some people feel they have nothing to lose.
That's the point of punishment, isn't it? To lose the things you love.
Control to Officer Trent.
Cover required at MBU.
Copy that.
Shall we? Break it up, break it up now.
Hey, Sherri, Sherri! What the fuck do you want? Give us the picture back, the one you took off Chloe.
Should have known you'd pick up a stray.
Now you've not got that lump of a brother to fuss over.
It makes sense you'd find a replacement.
Makes you feel needed, doesn't it? Well, I think we both know what you really need.
No, I'm getting clean.
Not that it's any of your business.
I tell you what is my business, though.
Getting things up and running again.
Supply chain's a bit thin at the moment, just can't get the staff.
Miss you, Laura, and your connections.
Me and Luke broke up.
Really? Mm.
Come on, you will never really leave him.
You need him too much.
What he can give you.
Look at you, you're rattling faster than a snake.
The meth's already wearing off, right? I can fix that.
We can fix that.
I don't want anything off you.
Yeah, you do.
It's just one phone call, Laura.
One call, and mummy gets her baby back.
Fuck you.
In the nappy? It's not uncommon.
They'll try anything to get the stuff in.
Just a kid herself.
Most of them are.
That one will be walking, soon, then we start counting, six, seven more weeks.
They'll get taken away.
I sometimes wonder if they shouldn't take them away the moment the That sounds heartless, I know.
I didn't mean it to be.
The father smuggled that in.
That's what these kids are going back out to.
What chance have they got? Thank you both.
We need to break the cycle.
Good luck with that.
Where did you go? I thought you were going to try and get some rest.
I can't.
You need to eat something.
They'll take it away otherwise.
I feel sick.
Well, think about the baby.
Look, it's just a picture.
Do you really need it that badly? It's all I've got.
Pick something, anything.
What? Go on, before I change my mind.
Er, shampoo.
Oh, good choice.
You're going to need it.
OK, so I'm breaking my own rule here because I'm really not arsed, but you are killing me.
What are you in for? I didn't do anything.
Suit yourself.
Hiding a gun.
It was my boyfriend's.
Bad boyfriend.
Sounds like a keeper.
He just told me to put it where no-one would find it.
I didn't know it was actually a bloody gun.
But you knew it was dodgy? Sorry, I'm not judging you.
We're both in here, aren't we? How long have they given you? You're on remand? Well, there's hope, then.
You will be out by the weekend.
Solicitor says it'll just be a couple of weeks.
Oh, fuck's sake, you used your phone call to phone your solicitor.
You'll see him tomorrow.
Her.
Oh, well, you're fucked then.
Female briefs are bitches.
There she is, hallelujah.
So what about this fellow of yours, then? He'll be going mad.
We've never actually gone so long without speaking to each other.
He'll be thinking all sorts.
Did you get picked up at the same time? Your family? I've made my bed, now I can lie in it, apparently.
Well, while you are doing that maybe you can eat something.
Chloe Anderson, time for your medical.
It's definitely this way.
Chloe Anderson, the pregnant one? I've got older socks.
Does it shock you? It's just different, suddenly being responsible for people.
She's a remand prisoner.
Yeah, but she had nothing, not even a bar of soap.
Was she even checked in? I'll make enquiries.
This is a good place.
We do the best with what we've got, but we have to be realistic too, we're stretched.
Sometimes the inmates don't get the care they need.
Yeah, but she only just got here.
Already this isn't good enough.
Things need to change.
And I'm sure you're the right person to change them, just don't go making any promises you can't keep.
We've been this way.
No, we haven't.
You're lost.
I am not lost.
Come on.
Oi! Fresh meat, girls! Shit.
WOLF WHISTLE Fucking hell.
Doesn't look good.
Mate, you all right? Come here.
What's happened to you? You need to go back that way.
Come here! Come on! Where's the medical centre? Back through that door.
No, it's quicker to go that way.
What are you even talking about? It's that way! SHOUTING Oh, my God.
Poor lass.
Would you? In a fucking heartbeat! It was definitely a photo.
I couldn't see what it was.
She crumpled it up and threw on the ground.
And then she got her bag and she emptied it.
Well, they say there's only one thing worse than being talked about.
Had a good day, have you? Profitable? If you've got something to say, Amira, spit it the fuck out.
OK.
Would you take for my girlie? Not you and all.
I saw you, you know.
You're beginning to sound more and more like the screws every day, Joyce.
Mind you, you've been here long enough, you probably shagged them all too.
Don't, Joyce.
It's not worth it.
Don't.
Is it some kind of competition, Williams? Sir? To see who can make the biggest cock-up on a first day.
Sorry, sir.
It was a simple transfer.
My Jack Russell could have done it blindfolded, and he's deaf.
I got disorientated, sir.
I'm still finding my way around.
It's not the Crystal Maze.
And another thing.
never ever lay hands on an inmate without another officer present.
There wasn't anyone else there.
Precisely.
You're supposed to be supervising me.
You! Gate, gate.
HE CLEARS HIS THROA You gave us a fright there, young lady.
Is my baby OK? It was just a panic attack.
Baby's fine.
Are you sure? I want to see her.
Are you having a girl? I want a girl.
We can't do scans here, I'm afraid.
But I want another picture.
That bitch took my other one.
Who took your picture, Chloe? Just give me another one, please.
I'm sorry, we can't.
Right, well, I need to call my boyfriend.
He'll be worried about me - about us.
We're worried about you, Chloe.
And we're going to keep an eye on you, OK, make sure you're looking after yourself.
Take her back to her room, and try not to get lost.
DOOR SHUTS DOOR OPENS Chlo? What the hell? What? Just lie down.
Go ahead.
Williams.
DOOR SHUTS SHE SIGHS What happened today with Chloe Anderson is unacceptable.
An inmate was put in a vulnerable position by a prison officer.
It could have been a much more serious situation.
Sorry, Governor.
You were left unsupervised, Officer Williams.
/fo It was a breach of protocol.
It's not a question of protocol - it's a question of maths.
There aren't enough of us.
We can't be everywhere.
You're his superior, Officer Trent.
You should have been with him.
Where were you, Brian? I was attending an altercation on the wing.
Prior to that, I was conducting a mandatory cell search.
Then Officer Williams should have been with you.
Then there would have been nobody to complete the FNC medicals, and they take priority.
That's what protocol says.
All new intakes to be medically assessed within four hours of arrival.
But wasn't Officer Dolan meant to be overseeing the medicals? Inmates can't be left unattended whilst they wait.
It just seems like an ineffective use of resources.
That's because it is.
Janine.
OK, look, from now on, no junior officer is to be left unsupervised font color="whit Then we need more staff.
You know that's not going to happen.
Well, doubling up is going to make even more gaps than there are already.
Right now, we should all on dinner duty, because it's the busiest time of the day, and yet we're stood here - for what? You want another situation, Governor - we won't have to wait long.
Do you have any family? There is my brother, Horse.
Our dad loved that cowboy show they never stopped playing - Bonanza.
Ah, don't worry, his real name's Lee.
He's a big fucker, but soft as shit.
Yeah, he's the only good thing in my life, really.
The only thing I .
.
truly love.
And he deserves better than a car crash like me for a sister.
Sorry.
If you say sorry one more time, I'll bloody deck you.
SHE LAUGHS How did it feel when you thought you'd had the baby? Um .
.
scared.
Scared for yourself, or scared for her? Oh, for her.
Not me.
I don't care about myself.
Don't say that.
Why not? Because the more you say it, the more you believe it.
I'm so frightened.
I'm scared of giving birth.
I'm scared of the pain.
Well, pain's relative.
Trust me on that one.
And what if I'm a shit mum? What then? Well, I've got one of them.
Oh! Sorry.
What did I say? Sorry.
No, you'll be a great mum.
DOOR OPENS Seriously, Brian.
You're going to have to make her see sense.
Look, the governor's got a point.
No way should Williams be wandering this place on his own.
Yes, and Governor Hayes knew that too.
She just let us work around it.
Governor Hayes isn't here.
Why are you taking her side? I'm not taking sides.
Doesn't it bother you? Lots of things bother me, Brian.
Yeah, but not enough to do anything about it, eh? Is that why you never went for the job - afraid you might hav You know why.
I thought I thought your lad was getting better.
Good days and bad days.
And that's never going to change.
Well, look, all I'm saying, Sinead, is if this is how she's going to run things, there mightn't be a job for any of us.
She'll be fine, Brian.
It'll all be fine.
It'll be fine.
Go on.
Ta-ra.
DOOR SHUTS INDISTINCT CHATTER Sorry to interrupt the festivities, ladies.
Here are all the wildly exciting courses, certificates and other shit you can do while you're in here.
Anything that takes your fancy, sign up on the board before lights out.
But please, don't fight over the flower arranging.
Oi, ready to meet, before lights out, same place.
BELL Connor? Yeah, it was you I wanted to speak to, actually.
Really.
Should have known you'd worm your way back in there.
She's always liked me.
What did you for her, a rock or two to until I called? You're a cynical bitch.
Yeah, and you're a dick.
Oh, we're back together, then? No, it doesn't mean we're going to get back together.
Come on, Laura.
I'm done with your shit.
Yeah? Yeah.
No, I'm doing this for someone else.
Oh, yeah? Who? None of your fucking business who.
Well? I'm not going to turn down business, am I? OK.
Yeah, so I'll arrange it, then.
Oh, and Luke, get the fuck out of my mother's house.
Dickhead.
So you'll leave her alone? I've given you what you wanted.
Say it.
As long as your man gets the gear coming in, I won't go near Bambi.
I'll still be watching her, though.
Watching both of you.
You'd better not be fucking me about.
Ditto.
Good to be back in business.
WHISTLE SHE SOBS DOOR OPENS SHE SOBS SHE SOBS SHE SOBS You're going to be late.
You're making me later.
Mmm.
Well, I'd love to stop and chat, but What do you want? Fell out of your window.
What are you going to do? Send me to bed without any supper? I'm not afraid of you.
You should be.
You need to calm down.
Don't want to end up like Governor Hayes.
Dangerous job being governor.
Is that a threat? I'm not threatening anyone.
Especially not the new queen of Bridewell.
I see you.
For everything that you are.
Yeah? Yeah.
Yeah, you suck the life out of everyone around you until they're font color="yell Cos that's what happened to you all your life, isn't it? Nobody cared about you.
Nobody noticed you.
You were invisible.
And you hated being invisible.
You don't know me.
Yeah, I do.
In here, you're somebody.
You've got people at your beck and call.
You rarely get your hands dirty.
You don't need to, but it's not really you that they're afraid of.
No, it's the idea of you.
That's your power.
It's the only power you've got.
You don't know shit.
Governor Hayes might have let you roam your little kingdom, but here's the thing.
It's not your kingdom any more.
It's mine.
So here's a piece of advice, and you'd do well to listen to it.
If you're going to go shooting at the queen, the real queen, you'd better make damn sure that you don't miss.
