04x04 - Screw Lover

Post by bunniefuu »

Ha, you saw them, they wanna k*ll her!

We had a deal. I got you the conjugal visits.

Make it clear, that Ferguson is off limits.

Ferguson: If you'd be willing to guarantee my safety...

Guarantee your safety?

Oh! I've been approved.

Liz: Who with?

Daz.

But you're not even with Daz, love.

Why would they reject me?

A whole bunch of other women are getting conjugals. I should have been approved.

You can feel it?

I'll send you to the hospital for a mammogram.

Has anybody told you what really happened in the fire?

I couldn't save Warner, but I did save your son.

Sex has never really been my...

Well, maybe you've been doin' it with the wrong people.

Maybe.

I know the women want their pound of flesh.

You want me to bash you?

Give the women what they want.

You gonna k*ll me, or help me?

I'll protect you.

And how has the transition to general been?

Quite difficult, I imagine.

Actually, it's been something of a relief.

Oh, really?

Yeah, it's nice not to be cooped up all the time.

New company.

It's been quite instructive, seeing my former colleagues from a fresh perspective.

And what is it you think you see?

What I see is you and Vera Bennett pathetically trying to get me to admit to some imagined persecution. Anything so you can move me back into protection.

And I am struggling to understand how that happened, seeing as she has been under constant guard for over 48 hours.

She put herself in general, that's how it happened.

It is my expectation that if I put someone, anyone, under guard, they will not be savagely att*cked.

One of you must know something.

All right, then I am presuming... that all of you can confirm that at every shift handover, prison Ferguson was completely unharmed.

Mitch: She was fine when I got her from Ed.

Yep, same when I handed her over.

Rest assured, this isn't the end of this.

If anyone has any relevant information, I'd encourage you to come and talk to me privately. Thank you.

Have you considered that she might have done it to herself?

Proctor for you, Governor.

What happened to your face?

Um... I ran into a door.

The same door that att*cked Joan Ferguson?

Apparently not.

All right.

Then who did att*ck her?

How would I know?

You seem to have taken Ferguson under your wing, as ill-advised as that may be.

She needed protection and you obviously couldn't or wouldn't provided it.

Has it occurred to you that she might be manipulating you?

Are you saying she f*cked herself up to get me onside. Have you seen her injuries?

Yeah, yeah, okay.

Not now!

Okay, well, thanks for the support, Bea.

Hey.

What is it, Smith?

Ferguson's telling people you r*ped her.

What?

No one's gonna believe that.

Proctor does.

Oh, for f*ck's sake! Okay, so Ferguson's playing her. who did att*ck her, do you know?

I don't know but it happened at breakfast.

Okay, wait... wait, breakfast when?

W-when, yesterday?

Bea: Allie!

Allie, you're comin' with me!

Yeah? Jesus!

Out!

prisoner: Nice!

I said, get out!

prisoner: God, calm down.

You do love roughing me up in the showers, don't ya?

You take that back to Kaz and there'll be consequences, you hear?

You know... you could just say to me, "Hey, Allie, ah, woman to woman, "friend to friend, I prefer it if..."

You're not a friend of mine.

(laughs) You don't rule by charm, do you, Bea?

I'm not going to say anything.

Good.

(scoffs)

Yeah, cheers Allie. No worries, I owe you one.

Are you on with him?

Jackson?

There's definitely something there.

It's... it...

(quietly clears throat)

When my daughter d*ed... he did something for me... he...

(sighs)

He did me a favour and I'll never forget it.

That's it.

Okay.

So, no sex then?

Good.

When did you hear this?

Ah, before.

I mean it's just a rumour. I thought I should report it immediately.

And where... did this att*ck supposed take place?

Well, I-I didn't get specific details, possibly during breakfast time.

In her unit?

I dunno, Governor.

I mean, as I said, it's not a formal accusation.

I mean, I haven't made contact with Ferguson whatsoever.

Okay, so what's this then?

Here.

Okay, yes, I did escort her back to her unit after the incident in the yard.

I mean it was an emergency situation.

And then you remain in her unit, unaccounted for, for some time.

It would have been less than a minute.

I told you specifically, to have no contact with Ferguson under any circumstances.

Governor, if you think I did anything...

Oh, of course I don't!

But it is a huge concern that she has made this accusation, even informally, and thanks to your carelessness, you've left yourself wide open.

But officially, she's still saying she fell.

For now.

Oh, for God's sake, Will.

You know her. You know what she's like, just stay away from her.

You can understand our position, Doreen.

I have always been a model prisoner.

Your pregnancy reflected very badly on this prison.

If I could finish...

(train rattling past outside in background, whistle sounding)

I have always been a model prisoner, and now peer worker... the day I fell pregnant, I was left unsupervised and unprotected amongst five visiting male prisoners... my legal advice suggests that's a massive breach of your duty of care, and I'd be well within my rights to sue.

There would also be significant media interest in a young Wentworth prisoner who ended up pregnant, via staff incompetence.

But... I might not take those steps... if my conjugal application were to be approved.

Oh, Doreen...

f*cking Red Right Hand, I'm going to get 'em.

Yeah, well, slow down. If they were all wearing masks, you won't be able to formally identify them.

Give me five minutes with Proctor and I'll make sure.

You know I can't sanction that.

You... you know sometimes, Will, I seriously worry about your judgement.

What, because I care about my job?

That's exactly what Proctor wants you to do. No, to No, that's bullshit! provoke you into an act of v*olence. You just need to calm down and think.

Okay, so we just... we just let them get away with attacking an officer?

At least you didn't wind up with Hep-C.

Just tell Linda to send Smith to my office.

Fine.

Kaz whispers: I'm so sorry.

I got stopped.

Did you tell 'em?

Tell who?

Did you tell Bea Smith?

What? No.

Allie, you were the only one that knew about that att*ck that wasn't there.

Right-o.

Bloody hell, Bea, I warned you about defending a screw and what do you go and do?

You take out a f*cking ad!

Oh, you know how this goes, Liz. I'll be slotted and then it will all blow over.

Well, you better bloody hope so, 'cause Kaz is revvin' up the women, and they all think you betrayed them.

Okay.

It's not okay.

She's not herself, is she?

Nup.

Been tryin' to talk to her and she just bloody ignores me.

We're supposed to be her family.

Mmm.

And I feel like the cranky grandmother.

(chuckles)

Wait, can you play the whole thing?

We have to slot her.

What, for warning me?

She disobeyed an officer and seized her radio. What other option do we have?

Look, just let me handle it.

I played right into her hands.

Bea, it doesn't matter about Kaz.

Now I've lost the women... the Governor's on my back...

Bea...

They'll probably neck Allie for tipping me off.

Bea...

It's just bull... bullshit!

Yes got it... bullshit! Now give it a f*ckin' rest will ya.

What's up your arse?

(sighs) Nothing.

Yeah, right.

Well, come on... spit it out.

Mm... (inhales) they found a lump in my breast and they have to cut it out.

What? Y... w... cancer?

Mm-hmmm, yeah.

Oh, Maxine... why didn't you say anything?

It's just a lump, Bea.

Oh, just a lump, it's bloody cancer.

And they're gonna cut it out and it's gonna be fine, it's not that bad.

We got it early and the doctor's not worried and neither am I.

Hey, but...

Listen, this is why I didn't wanna tell you. It's no big deal.

All right?

Y...

Are you... are you gonna tell the other women?

No, no! It weakens us.

Well, you think I give a f*ck about that?

Yeah, just a sec!

Need a word.

Go on... f*ck off!

Everything's good. (chuckles)

Thank you, Bea.
