Applications.

Right.

There's only two. Do you want me to bring them in now?

Can't now. Got a date with the old man in two minutes.

Do you know if he's heard from Helen?

I'll find out, won't I?

Morning.

Morning, sir.

Sorry, sir, I thought I was coming to you. I forgot.

Got my new carpet being laid.

Ah.

On the subject of Helen Stewart, obviously all your staff knows she's

back from sick leave.

Frankly, I think she's gone AWOL.

No message from her, no reply from her home.

It's a shame. I feel sorry for her.

This job's tough enough without problems on the home front.

I'm going to speak to personnel.

It'll leave a gap to fill on the wing, but we'll get you a promotion board as

soon as possible, Jim.

Hello?

How do you fancy going out for a nice steak tonight?

What? I've just seen the boss.

Stuart's out, I'm in.

He's just got to go through the motions.

Did you hear me?

I'm sorry, I just wasn't expecting... Well, show us a bit of enthusiasm, will

you? This is it, Marilyn.

I'm going to be a suit full time.

I'm really pleased, Jim.

So phone up and book us a table, will you?

Yeah, right, right.

It's all right. I think it's starting.

What, proper?

Yeah, it is. No, it is.

Don't do that over her.

She can't be having it yet.

Do your breathing.

Oh, what now?

It's the dorm.

Forget it, then.

I'm not going running for some silly kids.

One of them's pregnant.

I want another miscarriage, do we?

I'd better not be wasting my time.

What's up?

It's starting.

You sure, Zandra?

My water's just broken.

All right.

What's the fuss now?

I'll call a minicab right away.

She's having her baby. We've got to move her.

Don't worry. We'll get you to the hospital straight off.

Can you help her get some things back in?

All right.

Come on.

Off to work.

Just took my application.

I sent it in proper.

That put me back on enhanced.

It's on my list.

Just be patient till I'm in the job for good, eh?

Then who knows?

We could be having late -night sessions in my new office.

Maybe even a little bottle of wine, eh? Oh, please.

If you don't rock the boat.

What were you going to believe?

Oh, you've still got the gums because your little guppy's gone, have you?

Shame she ain't coming back, innit?

You're going to fetch a coat?

So we don't look so obvious?

Why? It's her own fault. She's a prisoner.

I want Robin to be here with me.

Where will you find him?

Sound. The sad fact is, if your boyfriend was remotely interested in

he wouldn't have married somebody else, would he?

Now just get in the car.

And keep your legs together.

I'm scared.

Don't worry.

You'll soon be safe in hospital.

Yes, who's Zonda got on escort with her?

Mr McAllister and old body bag. Body bag?

Oh, God, poor Zonda.

Christ, don't want to go through labour with that old cab by your bedside. Not

me. I just hope with the baby then it'll come out quicker.

Yeah. Marianne was early.

The sickle cell was anemic.

She was only five pounds, two ounces. Poor little thing.

Well, we just take our fingers crossed, eh?

Put your hands together like this.

You'll be of more use to her.

Gosh, she's all right, that Crystal, but she's an off -banger tambourine.

Here, you two.

Add your fancy in and in a bit of extra money.

Now, where would you feel most comfortable, Zandra?

On the bed or on the chair?

Try the bed.

I'll wait outside, then. No, you stay here, Miss McAllister.

Send her outside.

Don't be ridiculous.

Do you think we could take those off her now?

Oh, I'm sorry.

This one's a security risk. She can't be trusted.

Well, she's in my care now, and I want them taken off, please.

Come on, she's not going anywhere in her condition.

Are you?

Just one move.

Thanks, Miss.

Ready then? Yeah.

You can always get up again if you want to.

Whatever feels most comfortable.

Miss. Yes?

I wondered if you could do me a big favour.

Well, I'll try.

As long as you stop calling me Miss.

My name's Mary.

Sorry, Mary.

It's just I really want the baby's father to be here with me.

Look, you silly girl, I've told you.

I know he'll want to be here.

Well, if you can give me his phone number. I haven't got it in the sex

directory, but I can give you his address.

Well, I'll see what I can do.

But, Sandra, I've got to ask you one thing.

I've noticed you've got needle marks in your arm.

Are you using drugs?

She better not be anymore.

They're old marks.

Right, that's me finished today.

See you tomorrow, Sheila. Bye.

Good night, Leela.

We were thorough.

What were we like?

You've made it lovely, girls.

Oh.

Are you actually making a regular job of it?

Yes. What do you mean, like? Regular payment.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, we'd be up for that, wouldn't we, Jo? Kicking. And if you need any

washing, darling? Washing.

Ironing.

Well, I was wondering about a third curtain.

Curtains. Curtains.

Yeah, no problem.

And I'd love something soft to put me feet on first thing.

Glad you could get here, Karen.

Glad you asked me.

I told you they'd come a day.

So, you want to lure me away from men?

I want to help you up the ladder, Karen.

I won't deny it, though.

Female inmates aren't as easy to manage, and we've had some serious problems on

this particular unit.

But I know you'd like a challenge.

That's why I'm here.

Now, can I offer you a scotch?

Oh, if you're having one, great.

We're off duty, aren't we?

I've asked G -Wing's acting governor to join us, Jim Fenner.

He's an experienced landing officer like you. I trust his instincts.

Ah!

Jim! Sorry I'm a bit late, sir. Good to see you.

Now, let me introduce you.

Karen.

Hello, Jim.

Long time no see.

I don't believe this.

You already know each other?

Yes, sir. We met at a conference a few years ago. Excellent.

I thought you two would click.

You'll have a scotch, Jim?

Oh, yes, please, sir.

I'll just get another glass. Feel free to smoke.

Let me.

You've put on weight, Jim.

Do you want me to give you some Pethitin?

Nothing.

Zandra.

Sorry. Someone's just come to say the police have tried contacting your

boyfriend, but there's nobody answering.

They've left the message.

He should be here. Where is he?

I'm sorry.

Oh, never mind that.

Go and get you and me some teas, Dominic.

And phone him to make sure they've got another shift sorted to cover us.

See? You've made her more upset now.

But don't listen to me.

You upstairs?

I'm in here.

So where have you booked us for dinner, then? I haven't yet.

Thought I told you to book somewhere.

I wanted to talk to you first.

Well, what do you fancy?

Jim, I think you should have a look at these.

What?

These letters.

Letters? I didn't say anything when the first one arrived because I thought it

was just a thick joke.

Then this one came this morning.

What are they about?

Look, just read it.

Come on, Zandra, keep taking deep breaths.

Oh, God, I had to push.

Well, push then. Go on.

Let me have a look.

Oh, I can see a little bit of the baby's head coming.

Okay,

you just listen to your body, Zandra. If you feel like pushing, just bear down.

Where's Zandra? She's in there.

Robin! Zan!

You've got a baby boy.

There's some toast.

Do you want boiled or scrambled?

No, I'll just have a swig of this.

I want to get in and talk to a few people. You've got an idea, then?

Just leave it with me. We're exposed to this sort of thing all the time.

Prisoners tell them lies about us.

Don't you worry about it. Well, I am worried, Jim.

I mean, who is this Cheryl Dockley?

Now, for Christ's sake, Marilyn, don't you trust me?

Of course I trust you.

Well, you better had, or you'll be a total idiot.

I'm going to nail the vicious little bitch behind this.

And when I do, I'll have her go through that lark all that quick.

We're making a meal of this, aren't we?

Where's the baby?

They've taken him away for some tests.

Tests? I don't know what.

They said they had to put him in an incubator to keep him warm.

They do that with small babies, don't they?

Are they worried about him?

No, they said he's a tough little thing.

We're going to have to decide what we're going to name him.

I've been calling him Little Robbie.

Robert's a good name.

Robbie's short for Robert?

Yeah. We can't call him Robin.

Think of all the Batman jokes.

You know what you said about Chloe last night?

Why didn't you marry her?

What's it matter, Dan?

She's engaged to someone else now.

So why didn't you write to me?

Why'd you drop me, Robin? You knew I was having our kid.

I just thought by then I'd left it too late, you know, like you'd tell me to

piss off.

Then I got the message to come here.

Honestly.

It was amazing, seeing our baby born.

Do your parents know you're here?

They're in Italy.

I'm going to tell them.

They've been different since after Chloe, really.

I'm doing a woodwork course now.

Making furniture.

They're going to buy me a shop.

Yeah?

Morning, Sheila.

Mr Fenner?

Mr Fenner?

Morning,

Jim.

Obviously, I didn't expect to find you here. Obviously.

We were beginning to wonder if you'd had enough of us.

On the contrary.

My flight back was cancelled.

Only we didn't know what to think, did we?

Seeing as how you didn't phone in.

It wasn't easy, parked on the runway for five hours.

You must have already been home when I got through to Simon.

Right.

Well, then.

Talking of Simon, I've got a meeting with him first thing.

Then I want to talk to all the POs after morning lock -up.

If you can call them together, please.

Fine. Only you'll be missing Sylvia and Dominic McAllister.

They're both at the hospital on bed watch.

Zandra Plackett went into labour yesterday.

Did she?

Well, when they both get back, then.

Right. Oh, Jim.

I take it these are yours?

Thank you.

Nice suit.

Morning. I'm glad you're here.

Where's the baby?

I'll take you to see him. We're going to have to keep him in special care for a

few days.

I've got to go back to prison today.

I'm sorry, Zandra, but he's withdrawing from the drugs you've been using.

What?

He's acting a bit jittery and unsettled. We need to keep a close eye on him.

He's withdrawing from drugs?

No.

No, he can't be.

Please don't worry.

He's going to be all right.

Zandra!

Don't you come off all that.

Bleeding. Good to see you back, miss.

Good on you, Gav.

Looks like Fen has been telling you fibs, don't you?

Who needs men, eh, miss?

Good morning, everyone.

Morning. I have some good news.

I had a message from the hospital to say that last night Sandra Placker had a

baby boy.

Not now. And I'm ready.

What's going on?

You told me she wasn't coming back.

Yeah, well, I was... I was missing Paul, wasn't I?

So much for you and your big promises.

You said her job was yours.

Listen to me. I'll be bloody lucky to hang on to my own job.

Some shit's been sending letters to my wife, telling her about us.

Eh? Threatening to finish me.

What, you mean someone from in here?

They're on prison issue paper.

But who? Who'd do that, Jim?

Well, you really can't think.

It's obvious, isn't it?

Wade.

The evil, lousy bit.

So what did your wife say, Jim?

Well, she just thinks I'm sick of playing games.

That's what I told her.

She's not giving you a hard time, then? No, of course not. She trusts me,

doesn't she?

So what are you going to do about Wade?

I don't know.

I was going to put the wind right up her, but now her little friend's back in

charge, maybe she'll have enough to crow about anyway and leave it off.

No, she won't. That'll only make her worse.

What? You know her better than me, do you?

No.

I'll open that door.

Well, don't suppose.

I'll pick on.

I need to be reassured that you can take control again, Helen.

I've already been down onto the wing, and I've arranged a unit meeting for

later.

As far as my personal life is concerned, I've dealt with that matter.

Well, I want you to take this as an official warning.

I shall note it on your record.

I'll expect you to do a thorough handover with Jim Fenner.

Even though he'll return to uniform, he'll be staying on the same grade as

New carpet.

You should also know that I'm appointing a new principal officer on G -Wing. We

worked together in my last establishment. She's got an 11 -year

recently completed a BA honours. She'll be coming for a look -round next week.

But I thought we just needed a replacement for Lorna Rose.

What I need, Helen, is to know that you've got a strong team behind you.

We have to keep him warm because he can't properly maintain his own body

temperature at the moment.

I can't believe you've done this to him, Sam.

I didn't know, did I?

Look at him.

I'm never going back on stuff.

Honest. I promise you.

I'm really going to look after him.

Say your goodbyes, then.

Bye -bye, little Robbie.

I'll put us on mother and baby unit as soon as he can join me.

There's a drugs -free zone in there.

I love my own room near the cot.

And there are plenty of nurses around, so he'll be really well looked after.

Yeah.

And he will come and visit us. every thought right, won't you?

Of course I will.

I'll see him every day while he's in here.

So, Lord, have one of us.

Won't you?

Are you done?

Aye.

See you next week.

Take care of yourself.

Nicky, wait for your mum.

I thought we'd better have a talk.

I can't believe you're back here.

I was really beginning to think you'd walked.

You must have been through hell.

I'm where I want to be now.

Meaning not back with Sean?

Hardly. Couldn't believe him turning up here like that.

Had to mean you chucked him there. Nicky, I don't want to talk about Sean.

Sean.

But I'm not wrong about why you couldn't marry him, am I?

Look, Sean and I were never going to work out.

Oh. I knew that as soon as he moved in with me.

It had nothing to do with what you felt for me.

Why can't you tell me I mean something to you?

Of course you mean something.

Say that again.

Look, it doesn't matter what the hell I feel, Nicky.

You're a prisoner in my charge.

I can't take advantage of you. You wouldn't be.

Look, while it's my job to lock you up...

There's no way we can be equal, Nicky.

Look, wait, I'm not saying any of it is going to be easy, but it's not

impossible, is it? Not if we both want to try.

But that's what I'm trying to say to you. I don't want to try and pretend

these aren't the facts.

Look, how can I do my job when I'm breaking my own rules?

I'm sorry, Nicky, but there's no way.

Well, you obviously care more about your bloody career than you do about me.

I must be mad.

Of course I'm not worth risking your precious job for, not when you can nick

down the garden centre and pick up another boyfriend, because that's what

rather have, isn't it, Helen? Then you won't be breaking any rules.

I nearly didn't come back to this.

Look, my back is up against the wall.

This is my last chance to do something good.

I want you to help me, Nicky.

OK?

Go.

Where's your baby?

He's still in hospital, in special care.

Why's that?

Because he's early.

Because he's clucking.

He is what?

He's detoxing, so you can blame me. Oh, son, you poor little love.

But he'll soon be all right, won't he? Yeah, when can he have him back?

I don't know, about a week. A week? Oh, that'll soon go past.

Then he'll be all mums and bums, won't he?

Guess what?

What? He never will.

I've got Robin back as well.

Robin? He never married that posh cow anyway.

The hospital got in touch with him for me, and he was there when it all

happened. He was great.

Oh, good. Fantastic.

Yes.

You're just going to stand there like you've got a bad smell under your nose,

Crystal.

Oh, you want no pudding?

Why, are you going to chuck it in Fenneth's frigging face for me?

No, I just thought... Never mind.

Yeah, well, I do mind, don't I?

Stop your wife letting him off so easily.

Well, what else do I have to tell the stupid cow what it looks like?

Why, am I funny about it?

No, big bog standard.

It's a shame you couldn't get a camera in.

Then there were a photo of him on the job, do you know what I mean?

Yeah, right.

Because we'd have no problem taking a snap of that, would there?

I'll shove some more studs in your brain then.

Hang on.

You'll fill out in no time.

All you like to do is drink.

You're all right, little guzzler, aren't you?

I'm better a guzzler than a grizzler.

He's got his daddy coming to visit him today.

Well, I've got to visit myself today.

So if you're feeling a bit down, I'll... I'm kicked.

Eh? I've made my mind up.

What, serious?

Well, I've got to be, haven't I? I've got him.

Well, if you change your mind, I can always use a phone card.

It's me.

I need something sent in.

A little present for a dog, get it?

And a mean little.

Promising straight to who you are visiting in an orderly fashion, please.

Look, Robbie, it's your daddy.

Hello again.

He's a little bit grisly today.

It's Slim Towns. Don't you mind your seat, please.

How's he doing?

He's doing great.

Really missed him last week.

Yes.

I've been making wooden rattle for him on the lathe. That's a lovely woman.

They said they'd give it to you later.

I want him to have all his own new things.

Hello, lover boy.

I promise you didn't know.

I've told my parents, no?

What'd they say?

Well, I think they kind of expected to hear something.

Obviously, my mother had worked out when he was due.

They slagged me off.

What worries them is Robbie being in this place, Sam.

It worries me, too.

Well, we've still got a nursery at home, you know. It's where my brother brings

his kids to stay.

What are you saying, Robin?

Why risk his health in this place?

What's the point?

We both want what's right for him, yeah?

Surely it's best for him to be with his mother.

We'll have visits.

I'll bring him in to see you.

Just think about it, OK?

Take that one for a strippy.

Just a minute. I want to have a look inside that nappy.

What? Put him on here and take it off.

You want to have a good sniff and all, don't you?

Don't blame me we can't trust your placket.

isn't it, Dan?

Here, you keep a lookout.

What are we going to do then?

I thought we'd have a little play of it.

Telephone for you.

Hello. Is that Mrs Sylvia Hollenby?

Speaking. Hello, Mrs Hollenby. My name's Penny.

I'm ringing from Mail Order Customer Services for your recent order from our

catalogue. What order?

For a double bed.

What double bed?

One deluxe, double -sized bed, £999 .99.

I haven't ordered a double bed.

That's what it says on my computer.

Look, I'm telling you, I didn't order it. I don't want it.

Oh. Well, it's a bit like change your mind now, Mrs Hollenby. It'll be loaded

in the depot.

I'm not changing my mind.

Listen to me.

I did not order double bed.

Oh, well, I don't know what to say.

Leave it with me. I'll try and get to the bottom of it.

No, hold on a minute.

Well, that's me finished with catalogues.

All stop.

Come on, baby.

That phone card was half used up.

I'll have to give you the wrong one.

Give me the right one then, Sandra.

I'll give you back the stuff.

I've changed my mind.

I'll go and fetch it.

You don't get me that way.

Honest, I don't want it. Yeah, not now you've had your hit and cut the rest of

it too, OK? No, I haven't. Just get me a clean phone card. Look, now, Sandra...

Get off!

that a place in the mother and baby unit is a privilege, not a right.

Why the hell were you fighting?

I didn't start it. He was winding me up.

The other women said they were fighting about drugs. When a search was conducted

in Zandra's cell, we found a small supply of heroin.

What? But I said I didn't use it.

I didn't want it, Robin.

I was pissed Tessie clean, wasn't I? You broke the rules.

The other mothers in the unit are up in arms about this.

We'd have to segregate Zandra anyway for her own protection.

Now, the problem is the law won't allow us to lock a baby into a cell.

I can't believe you got involved in drugs again.

But I didn't want to. She put them on me.

Why don't you tell him that it wasn't my fault?

Look, there'll be a case conference now.

You might have to hand your baby out, Zandra.

What?

Well, obviously, if she can't keep Robbie in here, then I'm taking him home

me. No.

Of course I am, Zan.

We should have thought about that before.

But I didn't do any drugs.

We all have to think of what's best for the baby.

Now, if you and Robin don't make your own arrangements... No, no, I've

No!

You've got nothing to give him, Zandra. You can't even breastfeed him.

I'm baffled.

If they'd let me stay with him in hospital, my milk wouldn't have dried

There's no point in arguing about this.

She'll never be a fit mother.

You're not taking him, Robin.

You weren't there with me the whole time I was carrying him. So you can piss off

now!

OK, Zandra.

You can take her back to the MBU.

You're a shit, Robin!

And make sure there's someone there to stay with her, please.

Maybe this was a mistake.

No.

It's made me realise I'm doing the right thing.

I've already started legal proceedings, Miss Stewart.

I want sole custody of my son.

Good afternoon.

What are you doing in here? I just kept going for the water.

Come

in.

Are you taking your coat for the water?

Yes, of course.

Your officer, Karen Betts, be the number one. Oh, he's just been asking after

you. Has he? Yeah, he just got back in himself.

Thanks.

Are we all right to park up here?

Yeah, sure, leave it there.

Yeah, I thought I might have missed you. Got stuck in the area.

Been a few changes here since we last talked. No problems.

No. Denny said she's not back at work yet either.

I'm going to ask my Stuart if I can visit her. Yeah, right.

Well, send her our love, won't you?

Send her!

Oh, Christ!

They're trying to steal my baby!

You stupid girl!

Get back down!

I'm not going to let them take you!

Call control and get Stuart.

Sandra!

This is all we need.

Get this lock banged up and go now.

All right.

Give me the easy job.

Come on, it's your baby.

You can't tell my car. Right, you lot, move it.

Amy, admit not having this yard in two minutes is unrecognizable. Come on, move

it. Come on.

Come on. I said, move it.

Yeah? Sandra Plackett's on the hospital wing roof. What?

With her baby.

I put her on special watch.

That's the stuff you've been told.

No, they can't get hold of him.

Zandra, it's all right.

I just want to talk to you.

I don't want to talk.

I just want to keep my baby!

Zandra, stop!

They'll know what they'll decide.

They'll send him out to his rich shit, Dad.

Well, you're not going to help your case with this kind of caper.

Now, come on.

Stay away from me.

Get back.

OK. OK.

Sandra! You've got your whole life, Sandra!

Be fair to your baby.

What can you give him in here, hmm?

If I can give him anywhere, I can give him love, can't I?

Come on.

This is silly.

Don't kid yourself, Dondra. You're not going to jump.

Not if you really love your baby.

Jim. I think it's me Zandra's angry with.

Isn't that right, Zandra?

You think I'm on Robin's side?

You want him to take Robbie away from me, don't you?

OK, I'm going to put myself on the line too, Zandra.

I'll tell you what I think about your Robin.

I think he's very like my ex -fiancé, to be honest.

He's weak, Sandra.

He's weak, but he's totally sure of himself.

Now, he'll use every single advantage that he has to try and get custody of

baby.

But he'll only win if you give up the fight.

Why do you think I'm up here?

Because you think you've already lost.

You haven't.

You'll be out of here next year, Zandra.

And I promise you, I'll give you all the help I can to protect your rights as

Robbie's mother.

But first you've got to respect his rights.

I'm going to stand up.

And I want you to hand them to me.

Please.

Because you already had extra you shouldn't have outside, didn't you?

Night -night, Sylvia.

Wake me up when the bar's open.

Hang on.

What's happened in here?

Just a few home improvements, miss.

It's not a crime, is it?

It will be at King.

If I find you've been doing deal.

That'll be right then.

No chance.

I'm early tonight then, sir.

Just as well.

I'll be thinking of you.

Give the threes another quarter and half a bar, then take them up.

Hello again.

Well, I reckon it happens here, doesn't it?

You'd better believe it.

You must be a bit disappointed how things have turned out, Jim.

It's not all bad.

I'll be seeing you every day.

Helen?

fantastic up on that roof and I'm sorry Helen I've got to tell you you're

gorgeous I'm totally in love with you Nikki there's nothing I can do about it

well I can

Can I speak to Mrs Fenner?
