02x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

You k*lled Katy Trent?

It was an accident.

You fired that g*n.

I wasn't aiming at her, all right?

I didn't see her, none of us did.

But you were trying to sh**t
someone, to k*ll them.

I'm still the same person you
just kissed.

No, you're not.

Rose...

So... So what are you gonna do?

Look, I know you can walk away
from all of this

by giving up my name -

but if you have any feelings for me
whatsoever...

Go back to your cell, please...

Rose... I only told you because
I can't lie to you no more.

Back to your cell.

Please.

My life will be over.

Miss Gill?

Rose?

Rose!

What?

Have you heard from Jax?

No. She's never late...

C Wing.

How far away is she?

Thank you.

What is it?

The minister will be here within
the hour.

Huh!

What are you doing?

Just handing in my menu sheet.

Don't look so worried, bro.

What kind of notice is this to give?

The kind that stops
the cons finding out,

planning their idea of a welcome.

What do we know about her?

Apart from the fact
that she's almost here?

I'm looking her up now.
Anya Forsyth.

Oh, I've actually seen her
on Question Time.

You don't watch Question Time.

I do watch question time.
Don't I, Don?

Yeah, watches everything,
quite something.

All I know is she's still quite new
to the job and pretty hardline.

Oh, she's that
"Let's be tougher on criminals

"and build more jails" one,
isn't she?

Yeah, exactly, yeah -
she says prison works

and we should focus more
on victims of crime...

Right, well, if she wants more
jail spaces,

then why would she close us down?

We'll be repurposed,
not officially closed.

Become a YO unit or an
immigration centre with new staff,

lots of PR about positive action
after what happened to Toby.

Anything else?

Er, yeah. She...lives on a farm.

Right, and how does that help?

Well, you never know.

I mean, did you know that sheep
have rectangular pupils?

It's a true fact.

So are we unlocking?

No. Erm...

The men'll stay behind their doors
until the visit's over.

They won't like that.

It's standard procedure
for a ministerial visit,

we can't take any chances.

Just unlock those who
need to be out...

Most of the wing watches
Question Time, by the way...

I need you all to focus.

We'll give her the grand tour,

and then, erm...

..we'll unveil the new mural,
so get everyone working on that.

And what are you doing with that?

Don and Troy Walker are planning on
surprising Larry

with a Johnny Cash song.
It's on his bucket list.

Can you do that today?

We've only had one rehearsal.

How are they going?

It's great. It's terrible.

Troy's a bit nervous, that's all.

The lad is so petrified
he can't sing in front of me,

never mind anybody else.

We could use a lot more time.

So could Larry.

He, er...

He may only have days left now,
you know.

Just do your best. All of you.

That's all for now.

Miss Gill.

What did Costa say last night?

I know you're angry about
Stephen Childs...

I couldn't give
a sh*t about Stephen Childs.

Ladies and gents, there will
not be a normal regime this morning.

I repeat, normal regime is cancelled
until further notice...

Come on, man.
Need to let us out of here.

What's happening?

Do you think there's been
another suicide? Maybe, yeah.

Or they're worried that we've found
out something

we're not supposed to know.

Like what?

Like the fact we were wrong
about Reeks.

For definite?

As soon as we get out, we do him.

Yo, yo. Leave my flap open, bro.

You said you were sure about Reeks.

Things change.

Well, if someone thinks they know
who the undercover officer is,

won't they just attack him
in his cell?

Nah.

Half of the wing wants
a piece of him,

it'll happen when we're unlocked.

Now you look worried.

Do I? Mm.

What?

What?

Is there something you wanna say?

I'm saying...

..you're the pig.

Well, I'm not.

And as soon as we get out,
you're dead.

Where've you been?

The minister's on the way.

Yeah. Morning to you, an' all.

How'd it go with Pat?

He's gutted, like the rest of us...

I didn't mean Jesse.

Yeah, I know what you meant
and I don't want to talk about it.

He took it badly?

Oh, God, how's that
not talking about it?

You need to let me be part of this.

You've said it yourself,
how many of the rats in here

have got no relationship
with their dad?

I mean it's no coincidence, is it?

I've never called them rats.

I need this, Jax.

Please don't take it away from me.

Not now. All right?

Mr Hemmings.
You're needed on the PID.

When are we being unlocked?

Why? Are you all right?

Fine.

Got a visitor coming,

I want you to be on your
best behaviour.

Yes, Miss. You'll be unlocked later
for tea-making.

Come on.

Miss Gill.

It's impossible to avoid anyone
for very long. It's a prison.

At least let me explain.

What is there to explain?
You lied to me.

I didn't lie.

I just...didn't tell you everything.

There's a difference. Is there?

Yes. I think so.

At least, it's not black and white.

Especially when you care.

What if Childs asked you
to keep quiet about what he did?

Would you have?

That would have made me as guilty
as him, wouldn't it?

Him confessing was the right thing to
do, for everyone.

Why do you ask?

It's OK.

I understand. I get it.

Wait, how did your meeting
with Costa go?

I'll speak to you later.

Will you help me
with the minister?

It's a big day.

Yeah. Just give us five minutes.

Miss Henry?

Hello? I need to speak to someone!

Minister, this is Leigh Henry,
custodial manager.

Welcome to C Wing.

Thank you.
I've heard a lot about you.

Hello?

Where is everyone?

What is it?

What did Costa say?

I'm getting closer. Not good enough.

You need to get a name,
before this wing unlocks.

Has something happened?

Yeah, my time's run out.

Hemmings knows who I am.

You've got to get out of here.

No. Look, I came in here
for justice, right?

I'm not leaving without it.
This is more than a job to me.

If you'd viewed Katy's body,

if you'd sat with her mother,

seen what this whole thing
has done to her family,

I think you'd understand.

So push, Rose.

Please.

Do whatever it takes
to get that name,

for your sake as well as mine.

Miss Gill.
You're needed on the Ones.

b*tch.

My goodness, it's very loud.

Have I interrupted feeding time?

It's not a zoo.

Don't you always say noise is good,

that if they're too quiet, it means
they're probably up to something?

It's actually fairly subdued now,
considering.

Maybe I'm just not used to it.

I had the honour of opening
a brand-new prison last week,

and I was impressed by how quiet
it was,

until I realised there were no
actual prisoners there yet!

This is Rose Gill,
our newest recruit...

And a star of the future,
according to Miss Henry.

We were just talking about the noise.

Yeah, the men don't like change
to their routine, do they?

I need to talk to you about Morgan.

Ah, don't tell me -

you've cancelled the normal regime
because of my visit.

Please don't do that.

If they're usually unlocked,
please unlock.

In order to make any kind
of decision,

I need to see the reality
of the wing in action.

I guess the ethos of what you've
been working to establish here

is all about trusting the men so...

Commendable, but trust has to
be earned, doesn't it?

You could argue that.

Or you could say, on the outside we
trust people until they let us down.

So why not in here?

In that case,
why aren't you unlocked?

You're right.

Here you go.

A quarter of these men here
are in care.

Half have mental health issues.

Ethnic minorities are
massively over-represented.

The average reading age is 11.

Yeah, the addicted,
the homeless, the abused.

Most have already been let down
by the system

at least once by the time
they come to us.

They struggle with responsibility
cos they're not used to it.

Isn't that right, Miss Gill?

Yeah, most of the men feel
more comfortable

being disciplined
or told what to do.

Yet despite all that,

everything seems to be running
remarkably smoothly.

Because of the changes
Miss Henry's made.

Can I introduce you
to Wade Hemmings?

He runs our
Prisoner Information Desk.

He's one of our success stories.

Hello.

I've seen you before.

On Question Time. Oh.

Thank you, Mr Hemmings.

What is it?

They know about Morgan.

Who does?

Hemmings. I don't know who else.

I'll take care of Hemmings,

you just make sure that
Morgan stays banged up.

Right.

..certainly for prisoners
like Hemmings

with some nascent
behaviour issues...

Mr Shah?

Would you excuse me
just for a few minutes?

There's something I need to
attend to quite urgently.

Is everything all right? Would you
mind showing the minister around

the refurbished learning centre?
Hello. Hi.

I've seen you on Question Time.

Yeah, nice to meet you.
Yeah, follow me.

It's me again.

Mr Carpenter.

Don.

You can call me Don -

but if you do it in front of
the others, I'll nick you.

I want to do this,

and I know how much it would mean
to Larry, but...

But what?

I don't want to be
the centre of attention.

You know, I... I don't...

I hate feeling like people are
looking at me, and...

I just want to...be.

I've made a career out of
disappearing into the background.

I can recommend it.

The days are nice and easy.

But they're also long.

Don't hide your talent, kid,
and don't waste your days,

life's too short.

You ask Larry.

Come on, man.

There's something you should know,

and I just need you to shut up
and listen, all right?

So, about two o'clock this morning,
I lost the baby.

Erm...

I was bleeding, so I went
to the hospital.

And there was no heartbeat.

It's gone.

What are you doing here?

I'd already told Pat about the baby
before it had happened, so...

I can't bear to go home.

Right.

I'm really sorry I'm only just
telling you now, but...

..I know what you're like...

..and I know that you're gonna
lose your rag,

and hit something or someone

and I...I can't spend all my energy
talking you down.

And I'm not doing it, all right?
I'm...

I'm past caring whether
you can change.

Do what you need to do, all right?
But...

You leave me out of it, please.

What's my success story doing?

You need move out of my way.

I can't do that.

I won't ask you again, Miss.

I believed in you, Wade.

And I told you not to,
more than once.

Now f*cking move, man.

And what if I don't?

Come on, then!

Let me out of here! I swear to God,
I'll f*cking get Morgan!

I promise. Or someone else will.

I swear to God!

Morgan?

Erm, Mr Campbell,

will you bang me up again,
after I've made the tea?

I'm just... I'm not feeling great.

Oh, just get on with it.

Can I use the phone?

Got no credit.

We'll see, when you've made
some f*cking tea.

Oi. No, no, no. Hey...

What are you...? Sh... You can't be
in here, what are you doing? Sh.

I only wanna talk.

Hey, just...

We both know who you are,
that's not why I'm here.

We can both still get
out of this in one piece...

What do you mean?

She told you, didn't she?

Yeah.

Did she tell you
it was an accident?

Why don't you tell me
your side of the story?

If I do, we can make a deal,
all right?

Just tell me about Katy Trent.

The target was a guy who was selling
where he shouldn't have been.

It was just a chance to step up.

I don't even know
where she came from. All I...

All I know is...

Go on.

I never meant to k*ll her.

Now I know that
you're gonna make a deal.

Rose told me that much.

What kind of deal?

There were four people
there that day.

I know everyone.

Now, you keep me out of it,

and there's all sorts
of information I can give you.

Yeah, if you live long enough, eh?

What about Rose?

What about her? She knows the truth.

Leave her to me.

But you've got feelings
for her now, haven't you?

No, of course not,

because I think we both know that
you're not capable of that.

You don't know anything about me.

Morgan safe? He's not there.

He were gone when I got there.

Gary must have unlocked him
to make tea...

Ugh.

I will consider a deal.

Usually.

But not for murderers
of innocent teenagers.

There can be no negotiation there.

None.

I'll k*ll you.
I'll f*cking k*ll you.

All right. All right.

Hey...

Lock the door.

Stay the f*ck back.

Louis...
I don't want to talk to you...

Louis, put the weapon down.

If you come in here or you hit the
alarm, I'm gonna k*ll him, I swear.

Whatever the problem is,
if you just open the door

and put the weapon down,
we can talk about it.

You know what the problem is!

Don't act like she hasn't told you
as well. Told me what?

I haven't told anyone anything.
Liar!

Louis, you need to calm down.

Just step back. You're too close
to this, I'll handle it...

No, this is my problem,
and it were me he told.

Told what?

That he k*lled Katy Trent.

That's what you were talking
about earlier, wasn't it?

You were really considering keeping
this a secret?

No.

Get up!

Stay still. Stay the f*ck still.

Louis. Listen to me.

I didn't tell Morgan about Katy,
and he knows I didn't. Tell him.

Whichever way you look at it,
he is right, you are a lying.

Did she tell you or not?

She's been lying to you
from the very beginning, mate.

Every word she told you,
I told her to say.

What's he saying, Louis?
Let me in and we can talk.

No! I should never have
trusted you.

You've got to believe me.
I haven't told him anything.

Even though I should've,
and I needed to.

And the reason I didn't tell him

is because I care about you,
and you know that's true.

I didn't come here to hurt him.

You haven't hurt anybody yet.

Point is, like the boss says, yeah,
no responsibility, yeah,

it means no self-worth, yeah?

And nothing good comes from that,
you know? Innit, Don?

Right. How's it going?

Very well, I think.

I'm pleasantly surprised so far.

Miss Henry's responsibility agenda

seems to have really
permeated the wing.

Do we think she'll be
joining us soon?

I'm sure she won't be long.

Look, just put down the weapon.

If I k*ll him now...

If I k*ll him, we're both
off the hook, aren't we?

Louis, you're not
thinking straight.

He's the only one who knows
the truth about everything.

So, if he's gone,
we just keep it between us,

and your boss will protect you,
won't she?

Rose, I'll be looked after in here

and when I get out,
me and you can still be together.

Whatever you feel for him,
you can't let him do this.

Louis, if you do this,
if you k*ll him,

there is no future for anyone.

Your life will be over,
and you'll be a m*rder*r.

I'm already a m*rder*r!

That were an accident.

That's what you told me -
and I believe you.

And I believe you when you said
that you're truly sorry.

But this isn't an accident,

and all that guilt and all that
regret you still feel over Katy...

..it'll be twice as bad this time.

Don't you want to be with me?

Tell him the truth, Rose,
no more lies.

The truth is, no.

We can't ever be together.

You are a prisoner
and I'm a prison officer,

and I've made a commitment.
So if you're gonna k*ll him,

don't do it for anybody else
but yourself.

But I don't think
that's who you are.

You're a good man, Louis,
I've seen it.

If you just confess to k*lling Katy,

take your punishment
and...and do your sentence,

by the time you get out, you'll have
a whole life ahead of you.

Unlike Katy, eh?

You'll have years left
with your son.

You never know, one day,
he might even be proud of you

for making this choice.

How long will I get?

What does it matter, eh?

Prison's nothing to you, is it?

Holiday camp. I've seen you.

You can carry on dealing your drugs,

having a laugh with your mates,
it's a f*cking joke.

None of us can go back and change
anything that we've done.

No, it's too late.

You can do the right thing now.

Start banging the wing up, please,
quickly and quietly...

I'm sorry.

He's going straight to Seg.

f*cking joke. He's a f*cking animal.

Are you OK?

Well, what an absolute pleasure,
Mr Shah,

I really feel like
I've learned something.

I should just say goodbye
to Miss Henry before I go.

Minister.

You know she's right.

You will have a whole life
after this.

Agh!

That's not justice, is it?

That's for Katy.

Agh!

Louis?

Louis!

Morgan!

Morgan...put it down.

Prison's not enough for some,
is it?

It's OK.

You're gonna be OK.

Rose...

It was real...me and you.
Wasn't it?

Yeah.

Down. On your knees now. Now.

Got him? Yeah. Got him.

Minister.

The minister really needs
to leave, Miss Henry.

Of - of course.

Probably a bit too much reality.
Sorry you had to see that.

I'm sure you are.

I need to brief you both fully
on the circumstances,

it's not as simple as it seems.

I came here with my mind
already made up, Miss Henry,

that this wing is only fit
for closure.

But your ethos, and most of all,
your staff, made me question that.

Ultimately, though,
actions speak louder than words

and it's pretty clear to me
that C Wing is a lost cause.

It seems to me you're way
too focused

on the needs of those
who have committed crimes,

when the primary focus of
the entire system

needs to be the people
who've been harmed by them.

These men are here as punishment.

Your sympathies are misplaced
and that's why C Wing is failing.

With respect, Minister,
the wing isn't failing.

Oh, really?

It's the system itself.

For someone so invested
in responsibility,

you don't seem too keen
on bearing any.

I've spent all my career trying
to make this work.

But it doesn't. It can't.

Not while people in your position

still call opening
a new prison an honour.

Leigh... An honour?!

A new prison should be
a matter of shame.

For all of us.

What exactly are you so proud of?

We imprison more people
than any country in Western Europe.

It has absolutely no affect on
the crime rate.

The only thing we're good at
is getting the same people in,

again and again and again.
It's... It's broken.

But you don't give
a f*ck about that, do you?

Because apart from anything else,

you know you'll be gone
within a year.

You don't have to take responsibility
for any of your decisions,

so why should any of us?

Have you finished?

No.

Virtually all the men in here
will come out at some point,

and they'll be back on your street.

What kind of people do you want them
to come back as?

We can go on punishing
and punishing -

being punished doesn't make
anyone accountable.

That's just vengeance.
Vengeance is not justice.

The m*rder of an officer,

a suicide last night -
and if that prisoner dies,

the k*lling of a prisoner,
all within a few months.

And it still doesn't occur to you

that the real problem here
might be you?

Are you saying that C Wing
has a better chance of staying open

if I'm not here?

Then there's only one thing
to do, isn't there?

How you feeling, sweetheart?

I'm at least half dead already,
aren't I?

Course I am.

Do you want me to get the nurse?

I don't mean the cancer.

I mean, because I k*lled.

You take a life,

you k*ll yourself
at the same time, don't you?

Nobody tells you that, do they?

Course they don't.

There's no going back.

You look nearly as bad as me.

Just need a little sit down,
that's all.

Been a long day.

I know it's easy to say, but...

I suppose death's just part
of life, innit?

The meaning of life, some say.

Still cruel, though.

You only realise how precious it is

when it's taken away from you.

Any news?

He's at the hospital, in surgery.

Morgan really will be one
of them now.

Prison's a great leveller.

You did well in there.

I heard about what happened,
with the minister.

You wouldn't really leave,
would you?

If it means you lot staying,
then...yes.

Maybe she's right.
Maybe I am the problem.

Look at Hemmings.

All I've done is more harm
than good.

She's not right.

We need you, all of us.

Mugged me right off.
f*cking mugged me right off.

Cos I'm a f*cking dickhead.

Absolute f*cking knob head.

I swear to God, let me out of here

and I'll f*cking...

Right. You can go back
to your own cell now,

Mr Shah's up there for you.

What? Am I not going to Seg?

No. CM's orders.
You're to stay on the wing.

She says she'll come
and talk to you when she can.

Does she ever give up?

Do you really want her to?

All right, Leigh.

I need help.

Good.

Larry won't let me call a doctor

so I think if we're still
gonna do this thing for him,

it had best be now.

What's all this?

Er, well, it's not exactly
Johnny Cash,

but it's the best we could do.

You ready, kid?

That's The Streets Of Laredo -
am I right?

Course you are, Sarge.

Well done, son. Well done.

See? Getting close to someone in
here doesn't have to end so badly.

I know what you've been doing,
you know.

You've been rehabilitating me.

I wanted to say thank you.
For everything.

You don't owe me anything.

You made an old man
very happy today.

I don't mean Larry.

Jesse Doyle designed it.

He asked round the wing
what people thought it should be.

This is what he did.

It's not finished.

No. They'll carry on tomorrow.

I don't mean the mural.

I mean your work here.

And I mean us.

What if there was a way
for you to stay?

Is there?

Would you do it?

I'm not going to like it, am I?

Would you?
