Anyone seen a set of photos?

I need them for a new passport.

Leaving it a bit late, aren't you?

Yeah, I didn't know I'd lost the old one till yesterday.

I don't see Karen's name down there.

Why would I want to celebrate 30 years of marriage with a woman who's just had

me demoted?

You're lucky to be in a job after what you did. Why? She only gave a prisoner

her key.

Where's the harm in that?

No point in snubbing her.

Oh! How come your bet's champion all of a sudden?

Fine. If you want to make an enemy of it, it's up to you.

Hi, guys.

Morning. Morning.

I've, um... I've had security on at me about your due tomorrow night, Sylvia.

Have they got your final guest list?

Um, just finishing it now.

They also want the names of the red bands serving the food and drinks.

Maybe you could give them a call.

Right.

One last thing, Sylvia.

You can tell Yvonne Atkins we've had confirmation that her inter -prison

with her husband is on for this afternoon, 12 till 1. OK?

Right.

Hi,

Chris.

It's me.

I need a favour, darling.

Cash.

Three grand and two lots.

And I need it in a hurry.

I hope you appreciate how many prison officers it takes to give you and your

gangster husband this treat.

Is that your basic grade, prison officer, like yourself, Sylvia?

Oi.

Don't push it.

Ain't you told your old man to sling his up yet?

Eh? Well, I would if he'd done the dirty on me.

It's called love.

You don't break up a marriage on the face of its heart.

She seemed to know him pretty well.

Especially when she said about that scar.

You'll have a scar if you don't piss off.

Hello, Helen.

Jim? I hear you've got a promotion ball coming up.

I've been playing golf again with number one.

I have to say, he's not too keen on your little plan to turn G -Wing into a

lifers' unit. Really?

You know it's not going to happen.

Oh, well, Jim, if I wanted to.

Morning, Helen.

Morning.

Looks like it'll be a while before she gets it up for you, love.

Just tell them to buzz up when you're through if there's nobody to bring you

back.

My hand.

Oh, not again.

I need to talk to you.

Shut the door.

What is it?

If you want to be in Australia with your boyfriend by next week, I can get you

the cash.

What?

What you said, three grand. I can get it for you.

For a favour in return.

What do you mean?

I need to get out of here for one night.

You want to help me?

Are you crazy?

No, I'm not. Look, this screws party tomorrow night. Couldn't be a better

Cos the night patrol will all want their turn for a free drink.

You offer to cover for them, they'll love you.

And you get out and you're never seen again. I can't afford to leg it.

I've got my lawyer applying for my appeal.

All I need is just this one night.

I should report you right now for talking like this.

3 ,000 quid.

Now, what we've got to do is cut the bag in half.

Well, not half, about here.

Then we stuff it down our front to make like a little kangaroo pouch.

And then... Have you finished with that drink, sir?

Thank you.

Brilliant.

If we put liquid in the bag, it can spill out. Spill out, yeah.

No, not if we start in place, it won't.

Remember, we're going to have really baggy tracksuit bottoms on.

There'll be plenty of space.

You've only got two plates of macadamia, haven't you?

What are you going to eat first when you get out?

Depends. Haven't you thought about it?

I know what I'd eat straight off. A whole family bucket of chicken nuggets,

large fries and a strawberry shake, twice.

She means it. Depends on if there's someone she's eating with.

Am I right?

So you didn't get to the lifers' meeting at all?

No.

You can have a long wait till you're here on Monday, then.

Not necessarily.

Rise, Atkins.

About time, too.

Do you want this visit or not?

I suppose I'll be seeing your fella tomorrow night, won't I, miss?

Please tell me you're joking.

I've been done before.

Nicky, they are not going to leave an agency nurse in charge of the night

patrol. I don't believe it. I thought you'd have known by now.

What screw's up to do and what they get away with?

Just criminal.

Hello, Gate.

This is Lulu.

Has the Atkins escort arrived?

Say again.

Right. Message received.

What?

Out you go.

She's going back to the wing.

What do you mean?

Your husband isn't coming.

This is some kind of joke, right?

He doesn't want to see you again.

That's from the horse's mouth.

Don't you bloody tell me that.

Don't blame me.

You're a lying cow!

Now, come on, don't start.

But Charlie wouldn't do this to me.

He just wouldn't.

and a cup of tea.

Here you are.

Get this down now.

Oh, a lot of porridge.

Yeah, you got a few last porridge?

Yeah, I got a lot. Do you know what they say?

Give the back to you for another day.

Think of us tonight, won't you, Crystal, when you're out in the town

celebrating? Yeah, I'll be doing a lot of that with my skinny grant money,

innit? You got somewhere salty to stay?

Yeah, my probation officer's got me into a hostel.

Oh, yeah? What happened to lover boy, then?

Er, Crystal, we're going to have to keep you a little bit longer, I'm afraid.

Eh? We've got a problem with your travel warrant.

We'll get it sorted as soon as the office starts, right?

But what if someone's waiting for me?

Well, I can tell the gate lodger to let them know you've been held up.

What's her name?

Well, just say if anyone asks for me.

Right.

Always some cock -up, innit?

Looking a bit down in the mouth today, Atkins.

Of course.

Your old man's dumped you, hasn't he?

Shame.

Another woman, was it?

Piss off, then.

Not Rene Williams by any chance.

And look what happened to her.

And to think you tried to rub her old man out for them.

That's life, eh?

Say something.

Nice.

I've engraved it on the back.

It says, to Sylvia and Bobby, 30 years and still going strong.

From all your friends on G -Wing.

Friends. Does that include me?

You're terrible.

One with two sugars, Miss Barker. Thank you. One with that.

Thanks, Barbara.

I want to know what's going on, cos he's just taken a piss, man.

Crystal, I've told you.

All I need is my bus fare to Peckham.

It's not that simple. You have to be patient.

Oh, come and have a cup of tea.

How do you like it?

Half milk, free sugars.

It's all right, Barbara, I'll do this.

Go and check on Edmund.

Oh, Miss, can I just have a word?

In private, Miss.

I've got some reports to go through.

What is it, Cheryl?

I've just spoken to my kid's social worker.

The Foster family wants to adopt him.

Well, are you happy with that?

They sound nice.

I can't thank you enough, Miss, for what you've done for me.

None of it's got out.

You know, you never said nothing, did you?

I told you I wouldn't.

I don't want you to stick by what they say.

Now, remember, don't look back when you get out the gate. Do you know what they

say? You'll be back another day.

That's the address of my hostel.

That's if you want to write to me.

Give her the hug, then.

You stay safe, man. You too, all right?

Have fun.

Yeah.

Take care of yourself, love.

Be lucky, eh?

Keep your head down.

Yes.

Be finally off, then. Yep.

I'll miss you in the chapel.

You'll have to convert these evens on your own now.

Take care of yourself, Crystal.

We'll never forget what you did for Zandra.

Right, come on. Get her out before something else goes wrong.

Nice knowing you too, miss.

Go and get serving.

Bye, Crystal.

Keep on strumming.

See ya.

I'd do nothing weird, wouldn't I?

Bye, Crystal.

See you, sir.

Bye, Crystal.

Anybody help me?

I'm sorry.

Can you change your dressing now?

Yeah. Sure.

Stuff's in here. Right.

ID card's in the pocket.

The coat will be on locker 20 in the locker room.

Great.

You better do this.

God, I'm so nervous.

Just keep thinking about getting on that plane to Australia.

I like you going to the gym.

What about you, miss? You wearing something nice?

No, I had to buy a new dress.

A bit sexy, is it, miss?

You saying I can't look sexy?

Come on, you two, you can go canoodling yourself.

Right, Barbara Cartland, bedtime.

Come on.

I hope you're going to be good girls tonight.

Wouldn't want to spoil your fun, would we, Fenner?

Don't even think about it.

What do you want to goad him for?

Because he expects me to.

You might want to turn away.

I wish I could talk you out of this.

It's Karen Betts. I'd like to sort her out before the night gets going.

No, Bobby. I don't want any trouble.

There she is.

This is Miss Betts, Bobby.

Miss Betts?

Karen, please.

I've heard a lot about you, Karen.

I'm sure most of it bad.

Well... You know.

I'm not saying it's easy running a prison wing, but it seems to me you were

bit hasty demoting my wife, yeah?

Well, you would say that, wouldn't you?

That's her well and truest daughter.

Just prime him with good self.

But I'm going to prime the boys in the balance.

Boys!

Is it new, the dress?

I like it.

I was dead scared I wasn't going to find anything.

But then I thought, it's an occasion.

What the hell, I'm sure a bit of flesh.

I need a drink.

Oh.

I'm going to have a white wine, please.

Sure.

Maybe you'll do me the honour later on.

A dance.

Oh, well, only if you get Phoebe's blessing.

That's all you're in there.

Thanks, Jim.

Hmm. Told me you told me you two kissed and made up.

Oh, yes, we've definitely done that.

I'll find you later, Karen.

Do you have to be so obvious?

Sorry? Oh, yes, we've definitely done that.

There. I thought you said Betts was all right.

She is.

Best governor we've had.

Yeah?

Well, what's she doing all over that slimy bastard, then?

I bet it's going to be such a penner.

I'd say she was shagging him.

Here. I thought we'd give our body bags a present for our anniversary.

Eh? I'm not giving that old cow nothing.

Oh, that's a pity.

I was going to flip her an egg.

What, a whole one?

She'll go up like a study rocket.

Here. OK, girls.

Don't tell Huddle at the bar. Go and serve some drinks.

Miss.

I know I've done a lot of bad things in my life, but, you know, I never lied to

you about Mr Fenner.

What's brought all this on?

He did it with me.

You know he did.

Oh, come on! What are you waiting for?

Not a very good dancer.

You'll just wriggle your body.

Oh, God!

I've just got to get this fixed.

You said you wanted to share a bit of flesh.

Happy anniversary, miss.

Oh, thank you.

Selkie, the castrate.

Book a party.

They say blondes have more fun.

Will I do?

I bloody well hope so.

I'm asleep.

Okay.

I'm not really dressed now.

Better go and have your fun, then. All right, I'll see you later.

Hello?

Sorry, love, didn't see you there.

Lucky bastard, eh?

Don't get up there till ten.

I hope they've saved me a drop.

I've got Mike to get me another pint.

Mike!

Mike!

Get another one when you've got them on.

Sorry, sweetheart.

What's your name?

Ford.

What time did you come in at?

12 .30.

12 .30.

Anyway... Can

I go now?

Not unless you want to sleep tonight.

You all know Sylvia as a hard -working and trusted colleague who's given her

life to the prison service.

But I know her as a wife and a mother to our three children, Constance,

Gail and little Bobby Darren.

And she is the best.

So, here's to the next 30.

Something for you from your colleague's luncheeroom.

Is this someone's idea of a joke?

Well, it's not very funny if it is.

What's going on, Di?

Oh, never mind it now.

Let's have another dance. Something from the 50s, boys.

Come on, Bobby.

Back in by ten, remember? You stay out all night.

Look,

we'll have another whip round. Make sure you get your clock, eh?

Oh, forget it.

It's only a daft guest.

We've got a dozen clocks at home, haven't we, Bobby?

Come on, don't sit.

Christ almighty.

Another glass of red for Miss Betts, please.

You go.

I'm not going.

I wish you'd stop topping me up, Jim. I'm losing count.

That's four so far, Miss.

Is that right, Mr Fenner?

Oh, for Christ's sake.

Relax. Come on. Let's have a dance. No.

You're not even going to dance, are you?

Didn't you hear me?

Fine. I can't prop up the bar.

I've got to talk to you.

No. No! Hello?

Helen!

Helen, please!

For Christ's sake, let me in!

Look, it's okay. No one knows I'm here.

It's only for tonight.

I'm really sorry about your clock, Sylvia.

Die? What's the clock between friends?

Because that's what we are.

All of us who work in this dump.

We're family.

And we need to stick together.

That's a lovely thing to say.

Oh, come on, let's have a boogie.

How's your driving?

Not good.

Well, the better I can teach you.

That did set her.

Another pint of lager, sir?

Oh, she'll pay it for you, nothing?

Another one in there, please, ma 'am.

Not talking to Miss Betts no more?

Shut it.

She can see right through you.

Oh, yeah?

Is that why she's invited me back to her place for the night?

A prick like you.

You must be joking.

Am I?

I'm knackered.

Honestly.

The youth of today.

No stamina.

Don't you abandon me.

Just one drink.

Come on.

If I can do it.

It's not a competition.

But this is our night.

Get up. I'm exhausted.

Well, that's nothing new.

Sylvia. There's always some excuse, isn't there?

Too tired, sore back.

He says it's carrying the coffins.

I think there's something wrong in the waterworks department, if you know what

mean. That's enough, Sylvia.

I don't know why I waste my time with you.

You haven't danced all night, you.

I don't really.

Right, that's it. I'm taking you home to sleep it off. Oh, get lost.

I mean it. You're making a fool of yourself. People are laughing.

Yes, it's you.

I'll leave you to it.

I'm leaving.

If you don't come home with me right now, I'm going to lock you out.

Nicky, I am an employee of the Home Office. Do you have any idea?

Don't worry, I'm not going to get caught.

You're completely mad.

I love you.

When I saw what pissed you off, I didn't know how I could live.

And then I got this chance.

I just want to make the most of it.

We've got a whole night together.

Nicky, this is not the way.

Tell me you love me.

Yeah, just bang them all on the table and we'll sort them out in the kitchen

later.

Have any of you seen Mr McAllister?

No, ma 'am.

He's left his drink.

Sorry, miss.

Time's up.

There you are.

I thought you'd already gone.

Just about to.

Oh, me too.

Shall we share a cab?

Yeah, all right.

Great.

Another ticking off, I heard.

Listen,

I'm going to have to get Sylvia into a taxi.

Oh, leave her.

Probably find her slumped in the loose in the morning.

Hey, one dance.

Hey, lads, just one more, eh?

Stop it.

Oh, for God's sake, Karen, stop being so paranoid.

I'm going to put Mrs Hollenby in a taxi now.

Oh, leave her.

Good night, Jim.

Oh, sod you, Karen.

Sylvia. What?

You'll have to go home. I'm not going home to that land!

Oh,

shit.

Not that she'd bloody hurt herself.

Right, that's it, girls. Come on.

Show's over.

Move! Come on!

I've imagined this so many times.

I can't believe I've already got you.

Everything's possible now.

The whole future.

Nicky.

So how do you know that I've got to get you back to Larkhall?

What? Now, before anyone notices that you've gone.

Don't be stupid.

I can't go back there till the morning shift.

Think about it.

I'm your solicitor.

I'm sorry, sweetheart, but you...

It's

number 64 on the left.

Here we are.

Yeah. Good night.

Hang on a minute, mate.

I don't know.

No.

Come on in for a coffee.

I can't, Di. I've got to be up early tomorrow.

I've got a lot of packing to do.

Oh, come on.

What's one little late night when you're going to go off on a long holiday?

Yeah.

Di, is that you?

Is that your mother?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's best not to disturb her, eh?

Well, um... See you.

Nice! I've wet myself!

Yes. All right, I'll be down in a minute.

What are you doing

here?

Got a message on my mobile from Denny.

She gave me this address.

Why does she do that for?

I know where to find you, I suppose.

But you could have got in touch with me before if you was bothered.

Show me your hand.

Now, come on, show me your hand.

Looks like you're the one who ain't bothered.

You want to come back to my place?

Got no choice, innit?

It's not the end of the line.

It's not.

Claire said she's going to go right ahead and apply to the Criminal Cases

Commission. She's going to come in and see you about it next week.

You're not going to give up. You're kidding.

No way.

Well, good, because neither am I.

I love you, Nicky.

Enough to give everything up for me.

Yeah, you know how much.

I'm not going back to that prison, Ellen.

Not after this.

This is my last chance now.

If I go back, I just know I'm going to be there till I'm bloody 50. You won't

wait that long for me.

Nikki, it won't be that long.

If the DCRC takes up your case... If.

If. If.

What if they don't?

Do you really think I could handle that?

Because I'm telling you, after what we've been through this week, I just

I'd go totally mad.

We've got to run for it.

Tonight, Vicky, you are talking absolute crap.

I can get a passport. Trish can help me. We are not going on the run.

No.

No, of course, that'd be stupid.

I'll go on ahead.

I can be out of the country before they even miss me.

San Francisco.

And then when the heat's off, you can come out and join me.

Vicky.

If you love me enough.

What kind of life would that be for us?

Better than if we wait for bloody justice.

It's true, Helen. You know it is.

No.

No, no, no, it isn't.

Don't even think about this. This is not an option.

It's the only one we've got.

Say you'll do it. I can't.

Yes, you can.

You will.

I've got to go now. No, Licky. I'll tell you where I am. I'll wait for you. No.

I've got to go. I need a cab. You've got a number.

Darling, please.

Please trust me.

Okay.

Go get ready.

That's it. Bedtime.

Jim. What?

I miss you.

Yeah? Well, you blew it.

You're going to sleep with Bette tonight, aren't you?

Can't I just have a little kiss?

I know it doesn't mean nothing to you.

But now you're with her.

Thank you.
