I know what you're going to

You did a deal behind our backs,

mate, and that explains that.

That explains how they found

the stash on Berry Street.

How's Tom?

Don't go there, Mark.

Tomorrow is induction.

After induction, you get

Are you a nonce?

I k*lled a man.

Here, did you hear that?

The old man said he k*lled someone.

INMATES LAUGH

You expect us to believe that?!

LAUGHTER CONTINUES

I've left you a coffee downstairs.

- No shirts.

- In the basket.

You haven't ironed 'em?

No. I told you, I'm not

ironing your shirts any more.

You said you'd still

iron my work shirts.

No, I didn't. For Christ's sake, woman.

I'm your personal officer.

Any problems, you come to me, right?

If I can't sort it, I'll

find someone who can.

Right, boss.

- Is Gabber still here, boss?

- Gabber?

Fat b*stard with a shaved head.

That's half the prison, that is, lad.

What's his proper name?

I just know him as Gabber, boss.

I owe him money from last time I was in.

- Yeah, boss.

Well, find out his proper name

and I'll look into it for you.

Thanks, boss.

Right, in you go. Find a seat.

INMATES MURMUR

- I got banged up with you three years ago.

- All right, boys?

Don't sit next to him. He's a grass.

- You're a grass.

- Did they find my stash on Berry Street, yeah?

- Quiet, please.

ARGUMENT CONTINUES

Shut up!

Hey! Hey!

- What?

- Shut up!

If you don't shut up,

I'll nick you, and if I nick you,

it's seg, and what a

start that'll be, eh?

Now, you're unlucky to come in

over a weekend because it means

you'll spend your first

couple of days banged up.

You might get association later on

but that depends on

staffing levels at the time.

In front of you, you'll

see sheets of paper.

On the first sheet of

paper, where it says "name"

and "prison number",

I want you to write your

name and prison number.

Well, go on, then.

Anyone in for the first time?

Er, yes, boss.

Welcome.

Cheers.

Name and prison number? All done, yeah?

Right, now write down the

names and numbers of the people

you want to call during your time here.

We'll then phone them

Why would I spy on you?

Who's that?

Tom. My son.

- None of his mother, then?

- No. No.

So you're separated, then?

Yeah. Yeah.

Nosy, ain't I?

Yeah.

You know how many staff

there are in this nick?

And I don't just mean officers

I mean everyone: ancillary

staff, admin, all that.

How many?

Don't know.

Not far short of 1,000.

How many prisoners?

Don't know.

Not far short of 1,000.

That's one for one.

One member of staff per prisoner.

You know how much that

costs per prisoner?

No. No.

30 grand.

30 big ones.

That's six British

winters on an Aussie beach.

- Huh.

- That's money down the drain, mate.

You come in here bad

and you go out worse.

It's money down the drain,

and everybody knows it,

but everyone keeps shtoom

'cos it's money going into

their pockets, isn't it?

1,000 pockets here, 1,000 in

Wandsworth, 1,000 in Walton.

So what if this place is a sh*t-hole?

So what if it does no

f*cking good whatsoever?

It's money going into people's pockets.

That's my case, mate.

Right.

- RAGGED BREATHING CONTINUES

- Are you all right?

What is it?

You asthmatic?

You get panic attacks?

What do you take for them?

Push your diaphragm out.

If you push your diaphragm out,

you get more room in your

lungs, so you get more air

That's what I get from this.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

What's going on?

There's a man bleeding to death in here.

No, it's not as bad as it looks.

- What am I going to do with you, eh, Bernard?

- Don't know, boss.

You promised me you

wouldn't do this again, lad.

- I know, boss.

- Look, there are no beds in the hospital wing,

so if I take you out,

I'm going to have to

put you into segregation.

- Do you understand that?

- Yes, boss.

- So are you going to stop it?

- No, boss.

Then I'm going to have

to come in and get you.

I've got A*DS.

Oh, don't say that, lad.

You say that and I'm going to

have to come back mob-handed.

I'll smear you with

my A*DS-infected blood.

Don't threaten me,

lad. If you threaten me,

I'll have to come in and

I'll have to twist you up.

- I'll smear you with it.

- Don't threaten me, son.

- I'll soak you with it.

- I'll have to act on it.

I'll smear you with

my A*DS-infected blood!

What am I supposed to do in here?!

No, I wasn't.

I saw you. I saw you looking at me.

No, I I just glanced

I heard you shouting,

INMATES SHOU

- Boss, you all right?

- Yeah, you?

Sound as a pound.

Something I can do for you?

I see your lad's in Lowood Prison, boss.

My lad?

Your David.

I haven't got a lad called David.

That's strange, that

'cos you mention him on Facebook,

except there you say he's working away.

But he's not, is he, boss?

He's in Lowood Prison.

Look, we're not really that close.

I don't think you can

use this against me

'cos there's no real bond between us.

- No?

- No.

Then how come you're down

to visit him tomorrow?

And bond or no bond, you'd want

him to be comfy, wouldn't you?

Yeah, well, we know loads of lads there.

They'll make sure he's all right.

Is that a threat?

No, boss.

So if I ignore this

conversation, what'll happen?

He won't be as comfy

as he could've been.

Or as safe?

Maybe.

All right, so you make him

comfortable, you make him safe,

what do I do in return?

We'll let you know about that.

All right. Give me a few

days to think it over.

Course, boss.

Boss! Boss!

Hey, I put an app in two

weeks ago for a change of wing,

and I haven't heard nothing

yet. What's happening?

- Two weeks is nothing.

- What do you mean, two weeks is nothing?

What are you on about?

It is when you're surrounded by nutters.

- Hi.

- All right, love.

You're going to have to

cancel Maureen tonight.

- Why?

- We need to talk.

- What about?

- Our David.

That prison's nearly 200 miles

away, how could they know?

Staff.

What do you mean, staff?

Well, they knew we're

visiting tomorrow, so

Staff, it's got to be.

Are you sure it was a threat?

It was a threat.

He said he'd be well looked

after if I play ball.

If I don't play ball, then

he'll get hurt.

And what does playing ball entail?

Eric, what does playing ball entail?

Speak to our David in the morning.

We've got a problem, son.

Yeah?

You told anyone what I do, son?

No.

You sure?

Why would I tell anyone you're a screw?

What good's that going to do me in here?

Well, the lads in my nick

know that you're in here.

How?

Don't know.

They said you'd be well

looked after, though.

Only I might have to do

them a favour in return.

sh*t.

Yeah.

What are you going to do?

Keep you safe.

How?

- VP wing.

- No!

Well, it's the only way.

I'm not having the entire prison

thinking I'm a nonce

or a grass, Dad. No way.

- They're not all nonces and grasses.

- No way!

It won't work anyway.

They'd just get some nonce

to slash me, you know that.

- We'll have to have you ghosted, then.

- What's ghosted?

- Moved to another prison.

- I'm just getting used to this one.

Well, that's the only

choice, son. All right?

You can't do three years on

seg: it's VP wing or ghosted.

Take me chances as I am.

No, you won't. I'm not

letting you do that.

VP or ghosted.

Ghosted.

Good.

I'll talk to my governor in the morning.

She'll speak to the boss here

and we'll have you moved in a few days.

It will be all right.

I promise.

HE BREATHES RAGGEDLY

- No.

- I do.

You remember him from

when he was at home.

He lost most of that weight on remand.

He's fine.

Horrible places, prisons.

- If you can't make up your mind

- Cheese, please.

Thank you.

- Yeah, I'll have a cake.

- Yeah.

Is Bernard back?

No, he's still, you know

You know, er, north of the

Equator, we all walk clockwise.

South of the Equator, they

all walk anticlockwise.

There's a prison in Uganda,

right on the Equator.

It's f*cking chaos.

Ha! Yeah.

Good one, that.

- You ready?

- Er, yes, boss.

- Who's visiting you?

- My parents, boss.

Nice.

Ooh!

Hi, Dad. All right?

Good to see you.

- How are you, Dad?

- OK.

I thought you weren't coming then.

You tired?

I couldn't sleep last night,

thinking about you coming here.

HUBBUB OF CONVERSATION

Have you seen much of Tom?

She brought him round on

Sunday. Yeah, she's been great.

She said she doesn't want what happened

to come between us and our grandchild.

How was he?

- Good.

- Yeah, we had photos,

but they're on our phones

and they took them off us.

Do you think she'd bring him here?

Well, not just yet.

I think she's still in

too much pain for that.

Ah.

It's how you see this place.

It's rock bottom, yeah,

but it's somewhere to start

again from. A clean slate.

- I don't deserve you.

- I know.

You see, the thing is, I'm

not appealing the conviction,

I'm appealing the sentence.

So he's basically just going to stress

that there was only one stab wound,

'cos the judge never took

that into consideration.

There was no discount

or anything for that.

So we'll see

- There you go, Mark.

- Ah. Thank you.

You've been watching

me like a hawk, Mum.

- Have I?

- I'm fine, honestly.

I'm fine.

I mean, it's noisy, it's

boring, the food's a bit rubbish,

but apart from that, it's all right.

I wish I had more to

complain about. I really do.

You're in here as punishment, son.

Not for it.

Yeah.

Do Do you still see him?

Mmm.

A lot?

I see, er

I see her, his wife.

When do you see them?

- Just

- That's it, ladies and gents.

That's it, I'm afraid.

All right, that's it, Mum.

- When will I see you?

- Next week.

- Next week?

- See you next week, love.

Look after yourself. I love you.

Can you ask Tom to write?

- Yes.

- Yeah?

See you, Dad.

All right, take care.

All right, I'll see you soon.

- See you, babe.

- I love you.

- See you. See you soon, eh?

- You take care.

You're sure it was a threat?

- Positive.

- OK.

We won't do anything till we've

got your son somewhere safe.

Any ideas?

Chapel Grove.

That could be possible, yeah.

Might take a couple of days, though.

I told him I'd take a few

days to think about it.

Good. We'll move David to Chapel Grove

and then we'll sort him out.

Thanks, guv.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, mate. It's my turn.

All right, babe, how's it going?

You took my turn, mate.

Piss off.

What? No, no, no, not you.

Some pain-in-the-arse here

going on about the phone.

You've took my turn, mate.

Did you go your Debbie's? Yeah?

Yeah?

Nah. I'm all good.

You know me. So go on.

When are you going to come

I'm sorry, mate, but

Hello.

Hi.

Mark, isn't it?

Yeah.

Can I come in?

Yes.

KEYS RATTLE

I'm Marie-Louise O'Dell.

I'm a Catholic nun, part

of the chaplaincy team.

I'm not into God, I'm afraid.

Oh, you don't know what you're missing.

I'm really sorry about Bernard.

They're saying it was suicide.

Yeah.

How?

He saved up his meds,

took them all in one go.

You been in prison before?

No.

Difficult.

Yeah.

What do you do on the outside?

I'm a teacher.

Or was a teacher, yeah.

Oh, Mark, you could be

the answer to my prayers.

Stop there.

Come on, in you go.

Hi, Mark. Welcome.

- Hello.

- Come on in.

Do you want to take a seat?

- Yeah.

- Yep.

Come on, lads.

Welcome. Come on in, everybody.

Just take a seat, grab a seat.

Yeah.

What's happening, lad?

OK, first things first, we've got

a couple of new faces with us today.

You all right?

Hiya. You all right?

Mark's a teacher, and he's

promised to sort you lot out.

Everyone is going to be sharing

some of their experiences.

Daniel's going to start us off

by telling us how he ended up here.

Daniel?

Erm, well, I k*lled someone in a fight.

Another young man?

Could you say a bit more?

Sorry, I don't know if I can, you know.

- I know I said I would, but

- It's OK.

- Yeah.

- It's OK, no worries.

Can we go to you, Barry?

It's Baz, Miss.

Oh, sorry, Baz.

Baz has been injured recently

and has agreed to tell us about it.

Yeah, erm,

well, I got a shorter sentence

than these lads I was up with,

which made some people

think I'm a grass,

and I'm not.

See, these kids, like, what they did is,

they, like, boiled a kettle

and poured all the sugar in

so it'd stick to me flesh

and then, like, chucked it in me face.

The thing is, like, I know

who they are who did it, yeah,

but they did it because they

thought I was a grass so

the last thing I want

to do is grass them up

and prove them right, innit?

So now I'm hoping that they think

that this is enough and that they,

erm, that they leave me alone.

Like, I'm I'm only telling you

all this because, you know, like,

these are the types of

things that can happen

while you're doing jug,

so, I mean, stay out

of jail and that, kids.

That's it, Miss.

Thanks, Baz.
