Bad Girls: The Musical (2009) - full transcript

Bad Girls The Musical is an original British musical based on characters from the award winning and hugely popular television drama Bad Girls. Set in the fictional HMP Larkhall, it's the story of new idealistic Wing Governor Helen Stewart and her battles with the entrenched old guard of Officer Jim Fenner and his sidekick Sylvia Hollamby. It also follows the love story that develops between Helen and charismatic inmate Nikki Wade. Other featured characters include Shell Dockley and her runner Denny Blood, old-timer Noreen Biggs, The Two Julies and the ultimate Top Dog, King-of-Gangland's missus, Yvonne Atkins. A tragic death on the wing - in which Jim Fenner is implicated - leads to an angry protest from the women and forces Helen and Nikki to their opposite sides of the bars. But when it's clear that Helen stands to lose her job over Fenner's misdeeds, the race is on for the women to nail him once and for all.

(SOBBING)

Lift your bosoms up
for me.

We'll have to get the doctor
to give you some pills,
stop you leaking.

Right, cover up your
top half and take
your knickers off.

Don't worry, you haven't got
anything I haven't seen
a thousand times before.

Oh, morning, ma'am.
Hicks, Rachel.

18 months for possession,
with intent to supply.

But I never!
No, it's a lie!

Hey! You speak
when you're spoken to.

Right, I think
we're done here.
But, ma'am...

Thank you,
Mrs. Hollamby.

Come on, Rachel.
I'll take you
through for your medical.

You're on G Wing.

Shut it!

Oh! Chocks away, Sylv.
Here comes
Little Miss Newbroom.

Flamin' Nora!

Why can't she stay
in her office like any
normal wing governor?

One day they'll pick
the right man for the job.

Morning, ma'am.
MRS. HOLLAMBY:
Morning, ma'am.

We've got a new allocation.
This is Rachel Hicks,
first-time young offender.

Another drug addict
come to join us.

Welcome to G Wing,
Rachel. I'm principal
officer Mr. Fenner.

You've met
senior officer Mrs. Hollamby.

MRS. HOLLAMBY:
You lot call me "miss."
No, we don't.

We call you "Bodybag!"
MRS. HOLLAMBY: Shut it!

And this is
junior officer
Mr. Mattison.

Hi. First day's
the worst. You'll soon
get your bearings.

Here's her file. Make an
appointment with my
secretary for her induction.

Don't have to take up
your valuable time, ma'am.
Leave Rachel with me.

Come on.
(SOBBING)

MRS. HOLLAMBY:
Log book, ma'am.

MR. FENNER: One more
for breakfast, Julies.

BOTH: One coming up,
Mr. Fenner.

Get yourself fed, Rachel,
I'll find you a bed.

That's his specialty.

I'll find you a bed
down the block
if you don't shut it, Wade!

Ooh!

Like he'd be
interested in
that little minger.

Fresh meat,
better than leftovers.

I ain't sittin'
next to this lowlife.

(CLAMORING)

Cha! There's more doin'
dealin's in here
than down King's Cross.

Skip the saint act, Gordon!
I don't remember Jesus saying,
"Blessed are the shoplifters."

MISS STEWART: Mrs. Hollamby!
I'll deal with this.

No, you've got me wrong,
I was only done for two E's!

E's for evil.

(ALL SHOUTING)
MISS STEWART: That is enough!

Nobody is here
to be judged.

We are all of us in this
prison to try and help you
get you out of it.

Yeah, okay.
Me and Den's up
for that, miss.

Just give us the key
and we'll be off.

I am trying
to treat you women
with respect.

Please don't
make me think
you don't deserve any.

Nice idea.
Pity you don't tell it
to the screws.

Miss Stewart.

I was expecting
to find you
in your office.

Well, it's got a great
desk, sir, but a lousy
view of the prison.

Well, I prefer the more
hands-on approach.

Indeed.

Well, I came to inform you
that your probationary period,
though not without incident,

has been deemed
a success.

Congratulations.
Thank you, sir.

Now I can really hope to make
a difference. (CHUCKLING)
Come.

Just remember,
whatever new ideas
you've got in mind,

prison is a place
with two types
of people in it.

Us and them.

♪ Maybe I'm a fool to think
that I could do some good

♪ But if I didn't think
I could

♪ I wouldn't be here

♪ Now I have a chance
to really do this

♪ My own way

♪ I won't let anyone say

♪ I shouldn't be here

Don't worry, Rachel.
We'll help you cope
without your drugs.

Won't we, Den?
Yeah. 'Cause either you
give 'em over to Shell

or I'll slit
your head open!

Oi! Leave the kid
alone, Dockley!

Why? Fancy it
yourself?

Shift it!

Come on!
All right!

Dear me.

(COUGHING)

And what time
do you call this, Biggs?

(WHEEZING)

I'm on me last legs, miss.
You've got to take me
to the hospital, please.

You've been on
your last flaming legs
since I've been in uniform.

Oh, come on, miss,
it's not been that long.

You just get back
to your cell
and save your lungs.

Yes, miss.
Thank you, miss.

Thank you.

I gotta be excused
an' all, miss. Got the
decorators in, innit?

What, again?
All right, Dockley,
take the morning.

Thank you, sir.

Thank me later.
Go on.

Right. This way, Rachel.
Come on.

Got you a cell
of your own,
nice and private.

In you go.

Get your bed made up,
put your own things out.
Soon feel like home, eh?

(SOBBING) I wish I'd swapped
those two E's for a load
of sleeping pills!

Now, now, come on, love.
It's not the end
of the world, is it?

It is. I've lost
everything now.

Here. Have a good blow.

Now, take a deep breath,
tell Uncle Jim
what's the trouble.

See what he can do.

It's Maddy.
Hmm?

My baby. I'm still meant
to be breastfeeding,
she won't look at her bottle.

I didn't know
you had a little baby.

Yeah, but social got her,
took into care.

Only till you get out
of prison, love,

then they'll give her
back to you, won't they?

What if they don't?

I'll be chucked out
of me home by then,
'cause social stops your rent.

They won't give you
back your baby if you
haven't got a home,

but council won't rehome you
unless you've got a baby!

Rachel,

have you ever heard
of the Brotherhood
of Freemasons?

No.

Well, I'm gonna let you in
to a big secret.

There's men like me
in every walk of life,

got the power to pull
all sorts of strings
for each other.

You mean like
you're all on the fiddle?

Not for ourselves, no.
We use our influence
to protect the weak and needy.

And I can jump you to the top
of any housing list you fancy.

Really?

Place in the country,
cottage by the sea.

Three-bed semi
with a little nursery.

Oh, I just want a flat
in Blackpool.

(CHUCKLING)

Well, better put a smile
on that face for me, then.
(CHUCKLING)

Here you are.

I can tell
you're special, Rachel.

That's why I'll be keeping
a very special eye on you.

That's a promise.

(KISSING)

(BUZZER SOUNDING)

MAN ON PA:All inmates
are reminded to make beds
before movement.

Watcha!

Thought I'd better come
and see if there's
anything you need.

Being as how
you're not carrying,
you'll be buying, right?

Crack? Smack?

Whatever you fancy.
I'm gonna report you
to Mr. Fenner.

What do you think
he's gonna do for you?

He said he's gonna
keep a special eye on me.

Did he, now?
Tell you what
eye that is,

the one on the end
of his dick.
(DENNY LAUGHING)

Listen, Rachel,
just trying to be a mate.

Tell you how things work
round here, right?

'Cause ain't no bastard
screws ever gonna give
you a helping hand.

MAN ON PA:Movement to work
will now commence.

Here you are.
I'll give you
a couple of freebies.

(LAUGHING)
Come on, Den.

(SOBBING)

(FLUSHING)

Black coffee?
Sweet tea?

Oh, I'd prefer a G and T,
the morning I've had.

You never have
a good morning,
do you, Sylvia?

'Scuse me!
Justin! Better hop it down
to reception,

there's a sweat box
due back from court.

Why do they keep
sending us prisoners?
Eh?

Don't they know Sylvia's
on her tea break? (CHUCKLING)

You can see who
that little pup's licking
up to, can't you?

Mr. Fenner!
(GROANING)

What is it now,
Rachel?

Oh, I need to talk
to you, sir.
Private, like.

This isn't
a drop-in center,
you know.

Please, sir!
All right, all right,
all right.

Come on.

(CHUCKLING)
Mr. Popular!

Come on.
(SOBBING)

Now, what's the problem,
Rachel?

That Shell Dockley.
What about her?

Her and her mate's
been trying to get me
on smack!

Don't you worry
about Dockley,
I'll deal with her.

Thanks, sir.
I told her I'd
report her to you.

Well, she better not
find out you have her,
she'll rip her tongue out!

But... You'll stop her,
won't you?

Rachel, look.

I can't give you
special treatment

if you go round telling
everyone about it.

I'm gonna report her
to Miss Stewart.

Miss Stewart?

She's been in prison
for about as long
as you have, love.

But fine.
If you'd rather
trust her than me.

No! Sir, please.
Hmm?

I'm sorry if I said
the wrong thing.

All right,
all right. Look.
I just can't do it.

It's only me can keep
you safe and get you
back your baby,

but you've got
to keep this shut.

Okay? Hey, hey...
Trust me?

Yeah.
Good girl.

Now, go
and report for work.

Go on!

Problem?

If you ask me, that one's
got "victim" written all
over her, poor kid.

No one's a victim
on my wing.

That's why I'm
taking her under
my wing, ma'am.

Book her in
to see me first
thing tomorrow.

Can I fetch you
a foot stool, Sylvia?
Oh. (CLEARING THROAT)

(STUTTERING)
Er, sorry, ma'am,
I was just, um...

Skiving?
Not me, Miss Stewart!

I live and breathe
for this prison.

Well, living and breathing
isn't quite enough,
I'm afraid.

You've got to move
about a bit as well.

So when you've caught up
with your other duties,

I want you to find
Nikki Wade and
upgrade her cell.

What? You're putting
a known troublemaker
like Wade on enhanced?

Giving her privileges?

Her appeal came through today.

It's our job to give her
every encouragement
she needs to win it.

What, so she can
murder another man
in a fit of jealous rage?

She's lucky we're not
allowed to give her
a good hanging.

Oh, really!

Well, you can't believe
she stabbed a broken bottle

in that copper's neck
by accident?

That copper
was trying to rape
her girlfriend.

They've always got an excuse.

Oh, for goodness sake!

Are you sure
you're not getting too
personally involved here?

All I'm just saying is
she's not a homicidal maniac.

No. Just a
homosexual murderess.

Society needs protecting.
We need protecting.

Well, if you'd rather
execute prisoners, Sylvia,

I suggest you apply
for a job in Texas.

Just a minute.

You say you're worried
about Rachel Hicks.

How are we supposed
to keep her safe

with the likes of Wade
let off the leash?

It's like
throwing a chop
to a Rottweiler.

You don't know anything
about the women
in here, do you?

With all due respect, ma'am,
us old lockhands know
a bit about jailcraft.

Bottom line is,
you go soft on
a hard case like Wade...

Well, that's good order
and discipline
dead and done for.

I'll tell you
what's dead and done for.

You treating these women
like children!

Canceling their visits,
losing their letters.

The whole bag of dirty tricks
you've used to make
their lives a misery.

So stop living in the past
and carry out my orders.

Well, that's it, then, Jim.
End of an era.

Time to bring on
the chronic backache
and sign off on the sick.

Maybe not, Sylv.
I think she's just shot
herself in the foot.

How's that?
Well, talk about
high-risk strategy.

If Wade kicks off again,
and let's face it, that won't
be hard to arrange,

then Stewart will be
in a right mess.

Ha! And we'll clean up.

MRS. HOLLAMBY:
Governor's orders.

To put me
on enhanced?
Eh, what's this?

None of your
concern, Dockley.

Yeah, but...
What's she done to get
given special privvies?

Just wait
by the gates
at escort to work.

Wade, go and pack
your bags.

You ain't packing
nothing 'cept my fist,
you shitpiece!

Whoa-ho-ho!
Stay away from me!

What's her problem?

Turned governor's grass,
have you?

What are you on about,
you crackhead?

(BOTH YELLING)
Go on, Nikki,
kick her in the fanny!

(ALL SHOUTING)

NIKKI: I'll kill you,
you bitch!
Slap her tits!

OFFICER: Listen, right!
Break it up!

What the
blue blazes...

You saw that, sir.
She just went for me!

Stupid nonce
is off her face!

MR. FENNER: Problem?
Wade has just
attacked Dockley.

It was self-defense.
MRS. HOLLAMBY: (SCOFFS)
That old line!

You're on rule 43.
Oh, no way!

No, that's not fair!
It's not fair.

It was just
getting good.

And you can stop stirring
and get back to your cell.

Go to work, Dockley!
Come on, show's over.
Move it!

Come on, Dockley!
Haven't got all day,
move yourself!

SHELL: All right,
keep your hair on.

You just can't control
that vicious temper,
can you, Wade?

Shame, because
apparently your appeal
came through today.

What appeal?
(CHUCKLING)

Too late for regrets now.

Take her down
the block, Mr. Mattison.

Get off me,
you bastards!

That's enough!

What's this
about my appeal?

Miss Stewart's got you
a court hearing.

There's new evidence
against that policeman.
Huh?

You just keep looking
for trouble, don't you?
I didn't start it.

Why the hell do you make
it so hard for people
to help you, Nikki?

Don't you wanna get
out of prison?

Great timing, Nikki.
Just leave me alone,
will you?

Oh, I'm sorry,
but I stuck my neck
out for you.

I need you to win
this appeal.

Look, if you've
got some Good
Samaritan fixation,

why don't you go
and help Rachel Hicks?

Nikki, this is your chance
to get back together
with your girlfriend.

You can't give up
on her now.

Yeah, that's right, I can't.

'Cause she's got together
with somebody else.

Oh.

Look, I'm so sorry.

Yeah, well, don't worry.

If I'd known I'd lose
the girl, I'd still have
stabbed the bloody guy.

Can't control
my vicious temper, can I?

(SCOFFING) So you're
just gonna play
the martyr, are you?

Feel sorry
for yourself.

Yeah, that's right.

Do you mind?

Yes.

I do, actually.

You're going to work,
and then back on the wing.

What?

I'm overruling Fenner
and I'm moving you
back to enhanced.

And I want you to go to
court and bloody well fight
for your freedom, Nikki.

Not just for you,
but for all the other
women in here.

Deal?

You're the boss.

On you go.

(CHUCKLING)

Ah! Any jobs
you want a hand
with, sir?

We don't mind
getting dirty for you.

But we do insist
on using rubbers.

Look, Julies,
do you have
to keep this up?

Keep what up,
loverboy?

That!
Harassing me.

Respect works
both ways,
you know.

Well, sorry darling,
only showing
our appreciation.

We're not used to men
treating us nice.

Well, that's a good reason
to try and change your ways,
isn't it? Start afresh.

Do that every time
I get out, innit?

We're not educated
like you, sir.

The only jobs we can do
are against
the bleedin' law.

Even when half
the punters out there
are the bleedin' law.

Oh, hi. Er, tell Mr. Fenner
I've sent Nikki Wade
back to work

and then she'll be
moving cells.

Julie, can I have a word?

Bleedin' hell!
What have I done
now? (LAUGHING)

Yes, miss?

I've had a call
about your son, David.

Well, what about him?
Oh, no, he's all right,
isn't he, miss? Tell me.

Don't worry, Julie,
there's nothing wrong
with him.

But social services
say there's been a problem

with the care arrangements
you've made for him
over the school holidays.

Eh? What's my arrangements
got to do with
social bleedin' services?

No! My David's staying with
his auntie Sandra. Sorted.
His auntie Sandra.

Unfortunately his
auntie Sandra has also
been taken into custody.

Oh, shit.

Social services
have found
a foster home for him.

What? You mean...

You mean
they're sticking my son

in an 'ouse with
a couple of strangers
to look after him?

He's too young
to look after himself,
Julie.

Oh, look, I'm sure
your son knows
how much you love him.

I'll try and get
a number for you
to call him.

Oh, my God, Ju.

Well, what if
I have to tell him
the truth?

You can't do that, Ju.

He thinks his mum's
a top international
travel agent.

That's why you have
to spend so much
time away, innit?

Why you sent him
to boarding school.

You can't tell him
you're on the game
and in the nick.

Oh, why do they
punish our kids?

I mean, it's not their fault
what their rotten mum's done.

Should have seen
this coming, Ju.

MAN ON PA:
Return from work
will now commence.

Medication!

ALL: Buns and biccies!

SHELL: You tell him, Den.

(COUGHING)

I'll... I'm on
the methadone.

No, you're not!

You're on biccies.
Get back in
the other queue.

Mr. Mattison,
one more to collect
from reception.

Here! What's that
snitch bitch doing
back off the block?

Miss Stewart insists
on moving her
to an enhanced cell.

Enhanced? That sinner?

I don't get it!
Yeah, neither do
bleedin' I.

Oi, after what
that bitch
done to me?

Don't blame us,
Dockley, we're just
following orders.

Stewart must be
shagging her.
Oh, piss off, Dockley!

Wade, shut it!

Dockley, move it.
Go on.

Then the Lord rained upon
Sodom and Gomorrah
with brimstone and fire

from the Lord out of heaven.

Oh, give us a break,
Crystal!

Yeah, we had enough
rained on us from old men
when we was working, innit?

All you heathens
is gonna get stuffed

with red-hot pokers
come Judgment Day,

while I will be chillin'
up in heaven

with angels bringin' me
milk and honey to sip

off the golden spoon.

Only till you nick it
off 'em.

Then you'll get a poker
like the rest of us.
(ALL LAUGHING)

New one on the wing.
Yvonne Atkins.

(EXHALING)

Hi, girls.

Just popped in
for a quick four years.

"But look on the bright side,"
I said to myself,

"at least you'll get a break
from bleedin' men."

On the other hand,
what nice firm buns.
Do you give 'em away later?

(LAUGHING)
(PRISONERS EXCLAIMING)

How'd you like me
to take you
down the block?

Is that like
"up the Arsenal"?

(PRISONERS WHOOPING)

Bloody hell!

Pushy, ain't he?

Wait there,
I'll see what cell
you're in.

I booked an en suite
double with a view
of the bay.

PRISONER: You wish!

Blimey, Noreen!
I thought
you were dead!

(LAUGHING)

SAUNDERS: Well,
what you waiting for, Shell?

You gonna say hello
to the new girl?

Like you do?

What? You think I'm crapping
it for some knackered
old mobster's missus?

Insult, innit?
Yeah, mentalist.

Go on then, Den.
Do the honors.
Me?

Yeah, like you do.

Oi!

Brung any gear in on you?

'Cause either you give it
over to Shell or I'll
smack your head open.

Oh? And who is Shell
when she's not at home?

Shell Dockley. She's
top dog in this nick.

Yeah? Woof-woof.

Well, sorry, Fido,
it's time to move you
out of your kennel.

Listen, grandma.
You ain't gettin' it.

Shell's doing life for
topping the last tart
who got on her tits.

You should be
scared of her.

(GASPING)

I don't do scared.

And I think your balls
are on the floor.

(PRISONERS LAUGHING)

Going down,
Denny Blood!

All sorted, darling.

You can wipe that smile
off your face, Atkins.

You might be famous
on the outside,
but you won't be in here.

Wanna bet?
You're in cell 7.
Move it.

Who's the concierge?
You lot call me "miss"
and you move it,

or you're on report.

Sylvia Hollamby,
oh, that's right.

As in Mr. RJ Hollamby,
funeral directors,

care of number 13,
Cherry Tree Crescent,
London SW9 4PQ.

How does she know that?

She's a witch.

Not from me.

From my husband, Charlie.

He provides a lot of
business for undertakers.

If you want me
to put in a good word
for your old man, miss...

You're on free
association till lockup.

(CHEERING)

And you're on paperwork!

Oh, ladies, I do hope
you know how to party.

Come on, girls,
roll up, roll up.

Hey, Noreen. I know
you like Malibu,
don't you?

Go for that, girl.

Christ, I thought this
place was all bars
and no booze.

Do you know, the screw
that was supposed
to search me

didn't fancy a visit
from my Charlie neither.

Cheers.
Cheers.

I don't need any of that.

Hey! Here's an invite
for you two an' all if you
want to have a good time.

Eh?
I only do nasty
if I can't do nice.

Go on.

Shell?

Yeah, right.

Go with the flow, innit?

Only one who wants us
to have a bad time
is that Bible basher.

Right, Crystal?

Ain't no Commandment
says, "Thou shalt not
shake thy booty."

Get him a rum,
just kiddin'.

(ALL TALKING EXCITEDLY)

Now then, who is this
little Cinderella then, eh?

Are you not coming
to the ball, darling?

I don't know anyone.

Right, well, I think
you and me should
stick together, eh?

Come on. Have
a swig of this.

My special cocktail,
soon get you in the mood.

What's in it?

Well, it's (CLEARING THROAT)
two parts sweet dreams
and one part dynamite.

Hi. Welcome to

Mmm. Happy with it?

Oh, yeah, it'll be
really lovely when
I've knocked through.

(LAUGHS) Look, I know
it's still a cell,
but it's the best I can do.

Well, hopefully I won't
be here for too long.

I've decided to really
go for this appeal.

Well, that is
such good news.

It's the least I can do
after you sticking
your neck out for me.

You're taking a hell
of a risk, aren't you?

I don't believe prison
should be about us
and them, Nikki.

I don't believe most
of these women
should even be here.

I never doubted you
were telling the truth
about your case,

so I hope you believe
we're on the same side now.

Yeah, apart from
the odd set of bars
and a 10-foot wall.

Seriously, you've given
me the first hope
I've had in ages.

Even lightened up
enough to let
my hair down tonight.

Would that explain
the whiff of alcohol
I detected on the wing?

Do I have the right
to remain silent?

No!

(LAUGHING)

Do I have the right
to tell you you're gorgeous?

Uh...

I mean, all the women in here
think you're brilliant, taking
on Fenner and everything...

Why not?

My Bobby's doing

Do you ever dream

No.

I can lock 'em

(LAUGHING)

Oh, why do we do it?

Tonight as I was locking
Nikki Wade in her cell,

I thought, "This must
be the shittiest job
in the world."

I mean, what kind
of profession is it

where the occupational
hazard is lockhand?

It's the kind where
you start the day
with two prostitutes

giving you the come-on,

and you end it with
a mobster's missus
grabbing your bum.

At least that's
one hassle you don't
have to deal with,

getting propositioned
by the prisoners.

Not every Juliet's
looking for a Romeo.

Right.

Right?

Anyway, Nikki Wade's
going for her appeal,
so up yours, Fenner!

Taxi!
Oh, wait, my hair's
gonna get wet.

Ain't you never
heard of "ladies first"?

You play your cards right,

pretty soon you could be
shagging the wing governor.

What, that Scottish tart?
She'd be lucky.

No!

Me. (CHUCKLING)

Flamin' Nora!

How long does it take
for the buck
to stop these days?

Maybe Jim's been told
it stopped with him.

Oh, you'd like that,
would you?

How can they blame Helen?

She didn't drive Rachel Hicks
to kill herself.

Ooh, it's Helen now, is it?

I think
the whole thing stinks!

Jim!

What?

Tell me!

You are looking at a man

who has just been
given the nod.

Oh, Jim!

Do you mean everything
that I hope you mean?

A new day dawns, Sylv.

It's just a shame
you won't be part of it.

Not part of it?

I thought you were putting in
for early retirement,

bad back.
Well...

A girl can change her mind.

A bit of good news and I think

a full recovery
is very much on the cards.

Looks like we'll both be
moving up in the world then,

as soon as
Stewart moves out.

You mean they've sacked her?

Sacked?
A senior civil servant?
Don't be daft.

No, they'll just show her
out the side door.

As long as she
carries the can

with her
when she goes.

(CHUCKLES) Oh, Jim, I hardly
dare believe it!

You in a suit
and me by your side.

Well, it's a dream come true.

No stopping us
now, Sylv.

We are going to
show them

Bye.

Miss Stewart, I know
how you must be feeling,
but let me assure you,

one tragic mistake
need not be the end
of a promising career,

provided you're
prepared to cooperate.

Cooperate?
With this pack of lies?Helen!

Well, obviously
if the government
wanted us

to tell the truth about
what happens in prisons,

why would it insist
we all sign
the Official Secrets Act?

(MOBILE RINGING)
Jesus.

Yes?

Oh, almost.

Certainly, Your Ladyship.
No, no, I will be there.

No, I'm just...

I'll be along shortly.

Very good.

Yes, right, goodbye.

Look, the important thing
is knowing when to move on.

You're talking
about covering up

what caused a
young woman's death.

Had you followed
Mr. Fenner's advice
about Wade,

she might still be alive.

Nikki Wade was
no threat to Rachel.

Well, she was
certainly instrumental
in causing a riot.

Oh! (LAUGHS)

This is all from Fenner,
isn't it?

Helen, you made the mistake
of becoming involved

with a dangerous
and manipulative inmate.

The case is closed,
whether you like it or not.
Well, I don't like it.

I don't like it one bit.
Your only option is
where you go from here,

and face it, Helen,
you are going.

And I'll tell you where.

To a tribunal.
Oh, don't be ridiculous.

I'm not leaving
these women
with Fenner.

I'm gonna fight this
all the way.

Then you'll lose everything.

Not my principles.

They're worth more to me
than a bloody pension!

I sincerely advise you
to think again,
Miss Stewart,

and swiftly!

(BUZZER SOUNDS)

MAN ON PA SYSTEM:
Unlock will now commence.

Those bastards
should be giving us
silver service!

I thought they was waiting
for us all to top ourselves.
Top ourselves, yeah.

They just better tell us
what's been done about Rachel.

Yeah, because we want
an explanation
for this situation.

Be quiet!

Now, I will tell you
what's what.

You do that and
it better be good!

There's been a tragic set of
circumstances on this wing...
Oh.

...which should never
have been allowed to happen.

And rest assured, Miss Stewart

will be taking
full responsibility,

so no more bending the rules.

From now on,
it's back to basics.

Which means you lot
better start behaving like
good girls. Got that?

Total bollocks!
This is shit and you know it!

Johnston, Saunders,
serve out the slops.

The rest of you
form an orderly queue.

We're going on strike!

(ALL SHOUTING)

So, if you want
that lot served...

Serve it yourself!

(ALL YELLING)

We ain't doing our job.

Till he's lost his.

You've lost your marbles
if you think

that's going to happen.

Dockley, Blood,
put these pinnies on,
get serving.

HOLLAMBY: Hello,
Zulu receiving, over.

You've lost your jobs
and your visiting rights,
go on.

Now, all of you,
get the message
and get on with it.

Jim, Jim, Jim!

It's the number one,
he wants to
see you urgently.

Blimey, talk about fast track.

Open the gate

for your new
wing governor, Justin...

And look happy about it,

or you might
find yourself,
"Just-out."

Very good, Sylv.

You've had your orders,
now move it!

Grub's up!

Mine's a full English!

What do you think you're
playing at, Nor?

Where's your solidarity, eh?

Come on, don't live
by bread alone, innit!

Yeah.
What do you reckon, Yvonne?

I reckon I'd sooner be dead
than fed by Dockley, Cat.

Yeah? Well, you ain't
gonna get fed
by nobody else.

This ain't Meals
on Wheels, grandma!

Yeah, seeing as how
we've got something,
you lot want,

I think we need treating
with a bit of respect.

Yeah, respect, man.

'Cause if we don't get it,
you lot don't get nothing.
Get it?

Have you lost the plot?
Do you really not care
what happened to Rachel?

Ain't nothing happened to her
ain't happened to me.

Tell her to piss off, Den.
Piss off.

All right, ladies,
let's clear these decks,
shall we,

'cause we're all done here
and you,

tell Fenner we're all
going on strike.

That's hunger strike, ladies!

Hunger strike!
Bring this place down!

BLOOD: Whatever!
Like we give a shit.

Nikki, you've gotta stop this.

Oh, who the hell
do you think I am,
head bloody prefect?

This isn't gonna
help anything.

Look, wait by the gate.

Julie, Miss Stewart
asked me to give you this.

It's the number
of the foster home
where your son is.

She remembers.
She's not giving up on
any of you women.

Oh, what,
like they're really gonna
let me speak to him.

You're still his mum,
aren't you?

Miss Stewart wants to see you.

Good, because I wanna see her.

Oh, shit, Ju,
what am I gonna say?

Tell him you're abroad
and the line's bad.

Tell him you'll
sort out everything

when you're back
in the country.

Honest, Ju, lying's best.

(EXHALES) Come on, Ju.

David, it's your mum.

Yeah.

Wotcha, mate.

Um, listen, I've
gotta be quick,

'cause it's long-distance.

Yeah, I'm abroad.

Where?

Taiwan.

Well, I don't know.
Japan, innit?

Well, they just, they just
fly us in and we go straight

to the hotel and that.
(LAUGHS)

Never know where we are
half the time. (LAUGHS)

Yeah, it is
a good line, innit?

(CLEARS THROAT) Sir?

We have a problem, Jim.

Helen Stewart is refusing
to fall on her sword,

she wants to go to tribunal.

Tribunal? But you can't
let her do that, sir.

Well, if she insists,
how can I stop her?

That'll drag out
the aggro for months!

Cost the taxpayer a fortune,

not to mention
the damage she could do

to this prison's
good reputation.

I think you should know,
it's your reputation

she's gunning for, Jim.

I've gotta go
to assuage the
board of governors.

It proves what
I told you, sir.

How she's got too
close to the cons,
let herself be influenced.

Well then, other influences

will have to be
brought to bear, hmm?

My responsibility
is simply to ensure
that a head rolls,

and much though I'd prefer it
not to be yours, Jim,

whatever happens, it's not
going to be mine.

Shit!

Shit.

(SIGHS) God!

Jim!
Oh, Sylvia!

Just tell me, how did it go?

In the right direction.

Just a slight
unforeseen hold-up.

What's that?

Stewart still thinks
she's got a leg to stand on.

What? After a suicide
and an all-out riot?

Take one more cock-up
to clinch it.

Any tips such as?

Such as?

Such as?

Such as a load of class-A

turning up on the wing,
for instance,

due to her stopping
our routine searches.

(LAUGHS) Well, a nod's
as good as a wink to me.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

JUSTIN: Nikki Wade for you.

Thanks, Justin,
will you wait outside?

(EXHALES)

So, what did they give you,

a cushy desk job
in area management?

I wish you'd shut up
and stop giving Fenner

another excuse
to send you down.

Oh, I don't need to
give him one, do I?

He's a rapist.
Whatever he wants, he takes.

And all you've
bloody well done is

play into his hands, Nikki!

Me? You're the naive
do-gooder who thinks

she can turn this place
into a girl guide camp.
No, no...

I stupidly thought
if I gave you
another chance,

at least you'd have
the sense to

stay out of trouble. But no,

you go and kick up
a full-scale riot!

I had no choice.

Rachel Hicks died.

Has anyone even asked Fenner
what he was doing that night?

No, everybody's asking me

what I was doing
letting you back
on the wing,

and I can't answer them,
can I?

Well, you can't
let Fenner win.

Nobody'll be safe in here
if he gets your job.

Don't think I don't
blame myself.

I failed.

I should've spoken
to Rachel sooner,

but I just didn't think
for one minute...

I just... Oh!

Hey...

Look, we're on the
same side, remember?

We'll fight together.

Don't beat yourself up.

Helen, please.

Oh, sorry! Just, you
went very quiet and
I wondered if, um...

What, if I've returned
to my murdering ways?

Uh, take Nikki back
to her cell, please,

I'm going home
to work on my case.

Right, I'll be round
straight after my shift, then.

Oh, yeah, that'll be great.

Oh, I'll come too,
shall I? Bring a bottle?

Good night, Nikki.

Right.

I see you didn't waste
much time then.

How cozy!

PRISONER 1: You can't
kill us all, Fenner!

SAUNDERS: We've nothing else
to lose now, have we?

JOHNSTON: Be scared,
you bastard!

PRISONER 2: Save your breath,
he's not listening.

BIGGS: We're all gonna
starve to death

'cause of you two Julies.

Yeah, too right!

At least we got
Fenner, all right!

You can't blame us
how it's went.

WADE: Ain't our fault
Dockley's a scab!

And you, Atkins!

How's it reading?
Pfft!

I can fight
till I drop,
Justin, but,

I'm never gonna
win this without
a scrap of evidence.

I can't believe Rachel
didn't leave a note.

Ah, I'm kicking myself
for letting Fenner

go into her cell on his own!

I swear the women
are right about him.

Well, here's to
hopeless causes.

You're not that, Helen.

You're the reason...
Maybe they're right.

I don't deserve this job.

I get too
emotionally involved.

Because you care!

I'm only staying
in the job myself,
because of you.

Oh, God, Justin, don't!
Oh, shit, sorry.

You're well out of my league.

(LAUGHS) It's not that.

It's... You know, I just...

I... Jesus!

Yeah? Well, a tray
of sausages to meself

says you don't know shit,
innit?

All right.

Is that all you want
out of life, is it?
Dockley's leftovers?

It'll be you lot screwed

Me and Shell's gonna get
special everything then.

Denny. Denny, look,
I know you've had

a tough life, I know you have,

children's homes
and that, no wonder

you wanna be
special to somebody.

But what you're
really looking for

is a mum, yeah?

(LAUGHS) What are you,

some sort of undercover
probation officer?

I'm just trying to
give you a break, Denny.

Why don't you leave me alone?

Because maybe I
could do with a
second chance an' all,

for being a lousy mum
to my own kids!

But I can't make it
up to them
'cause one's dead,

and the other's
doing life for murder.

So...

What do you reckon, eh?

I reckon you're
just trying to mess
with my head.

Do yourself a favor, Denny!

And do Dockley one as well,

'cause if she thinks she's
anything special to Fenner...

Come on,
you know what
that bastard's about.

He'll bin her off like a shot

and where will you
be then, Den?

Up yours, Atkins!

She's her own
worst enemy, that one.

She can't see past Dockley.

We're stuffed, ain't we?
Stuffed.

That is the one thing...

We ain't.

You know, I can
do without food.

I can even do without booze,

but I can't do without...
Don't go there!

I don't.

Nor me.
No way.

Who needs it?

BOTH: Not us!

ATKINS: Oh, yeah?

Well, I can't think of
nothing else most nights.

Well, You should be
ashamed of yourself
at a time like this.

You should be thinking about
what happened to poor Rachel.

Yeah, but let's face it,

there ain't nothing like death

to whet your
appetite for life.

Oh, no, thanks,

For God's sake, she's risking
everything for you women!

If you want to help her
beat Fenner, you'd better

act before it's too late.

Look, she doesn't
give a toss about

what I could
do for her, darling.

Yeah?
Well, I wish you were
right about that.

But she can't tell you
what she feels
about you, can she?

Eh? What are you
talking about?

The point is,
you'll never find out

if we don't put

in the book now.

we've had a tip-off,

of illegal drugs

here on the wing...

we don't find.

(ALL CHATTING)

HOLLAMBY: Dockley, Blood,
stand aside.
Eh?

We're conducting
a drugs search
in this servery.

Ain't no drugs around here.
Then we won't
find any, will we?

But if we do,
then obviously we'll
know whose they are.

Hmm, what I've been
saying, innit?

(ALL CHATTING)

Ah, ha, hmm.
And what's this?

What it says, innit? Sugar.

And since when did sugar

come individually
wrapped by the gram?

Yes, say it there.

Looks like cocaine
to us, Dockley.

You want me to do
a taste test?
Oh, shut it, Biggs!

Well, anyone tells you
it's mine,

they're lying, right?

Ain't hers neither,
is it, Den?

Give mine to Shell to stash
in her cell, innit?

(ALL YELLING)
Mr. Mattison!

Take Dockley down the block.

I shall take this to the lab
and report to Mr. Fenner.

Hallelujah!

And get the rest of them
banged up.

(ALL PROTESTING)

I've been framed, innit?
Someone's friggin' fit me up.

Got it in one, Dockley.
DOCKLEY: Eh?

Who do you think?
It was you, weren't it?

(ALL YELLING)

Nikki's not
your enemy,
Dockley.

And I'm not taking
my orders
from Bodybag.

ALL: Ooh!

Shit me, what's this?

Screw against screw?

He's trying to
help us screw Fenner.
You what?

Who is it wants to shaft
Miss Stewart, so he can
get her job,

and the pick of
any new girl he fancies?

ALL: Fenner.
Who else?

Do you trust me now?
Well, obvious, innit, Shell?

Don't talk drivel.
Ah!

Me and him's got a deal.

Oh, he's just using you,
you soppy cow.

No, I'm his
eyes and ears, right?

Whoa-ho, tits and
arse, more like!

(LAUGHING)
As in yesterday's, right?

Good luck, Shell.

Just don't screw up.

Okay, Shell, you come with me,

everybody else,
back to your cells, yeah?

Bodybag's set me up
on this drugs rap.

Just piss in the pot,
will you?

Eh?

Telling me you want me
to test positive?

Look, I'm trying to
get rid of Stewart

for being soft on drugs, yeah,

but if you don't trust me,
that's it.

That's the end of it!
No.

No, Jim, wait!
Too late.

No, Jim, you got me all wrong.

Of course I trust you
to do right by me,

Fenner and call the police.

Oh, oops.

Looks like the electrics
just went on the blink.

Give me the key.
The what?

The bloody key,
you stupid bitch.

I've got to get out of here.

Well, now.

That ain't a very nice way

to speak to your
special little lady.

Oh, please, Shell.
I don't know.

These old electrics,

there was an accident
waiting to happen in here.

What the hell are you doing?

Sparks, they can
catch hold anywhere.

Stop, Shell, please,
I'm begging you.

Since when did them words
ever mean anything you?

Ow!
(LAUGHS)

I'll forget everything,
I swear!

Just unlock these cuffs.

I tried to, didn't I?

It's amazing, innit?

Big me up, sisters!

Bothered!

Serious, Den, you'd have
loved it.

Fenner was screaming
and crapping himself.

I would've pissed
meself laughing, only I

didn't wanna put the fire out.

You're sick, man.
You shouldn't have done it.
Eh?

It wasn't part of the plan.

(ALL PROTESTING)

Oi, it was payback time,
right?

You're on your own,
Dockley.

(ALL YELLING)

Quiet, you lot!

Thank you, Mrs. Hollamby.

I have here the report

resulting from the official
enquiry,

into events subsequent
to the previous,

and I can only say,

I wish that your concerns
about Mr. Fenner

had been brought to my
attention earlier.

As if you'd have done
anything about it, man.

You were too busy
playing golf.

You should be sacked,
you old bastard.

(LAUGHING)

Silence!

I assure you, as soon as
he's fit to be discharged
from hospital,

Mr. Fenner will be
brought to justice.

Here, here, here...

You saying he didn't snuff it?

Oh!

Oh, well, better luck
next time, eh?

(BIGGS LAUGHING)

Michelle Dockley?

Ah.

The report commends
your bravery under duress,

for which you will be granted

all due consideration
by the parole board.

PRISONER: What?

And now, I entrust you all

to the good governance
of Miss Stewart.

Sir, sir!

I really need to talk to you
about my back.

I don't think I'm up to
these double shifts
anymore, you know.

You know, ladies,
we do have another reason

to celebrate today,
don't we?

Because it's somebody's
21st birthday!

Eh, Denny?
How'd you know that?

I told you, she's a witch.

I ain't never had a
proper birthday.

You ain't never had a
lot of things, love,

but I'm gonna sort that,
if you let me.

And right about...

ALL: Five, four,
three, two, one!

Fireworks!
(ALL CHEERING)

That's for you.

Miss, can we go outside
and see 'em?

Mr. Mattison, would you?
Come on, girls.

Right, you lot...
Oh!

...you got five minutes.
(ALL CHEERING)

Be good!
Yeah, we will, sir.

Oh, we will.

Nikki.

Can I have a word?

So, you could be
out of here next week.

You haven't got Fenner around
to screw up your appeal.

Nothing stopping you,
right?
Oh, I'm not stopping.

I'm gonna set up the mother
of all campaign groups.

Fight the whole
bastard system.

So, we're not gonna get
rid of you that easily then?

I'm hoping you won't want to.

I think I know what I want.
