==========================


(In garden, by the bins, Dominic sees Josh and Crystal talking and so walks over, as Josh bends down)

Crystal: Oh hi Mr McCallister.

Dominic: What's the problem?

Josh: Sticky wheel mate.

Dominic: Sticky wheel?

Crystal: Yer, keeps sticking innit.

Dominic: Hmm, 2 minutes.

(Dominic walks away)

Crystal: Glad he's back, he's the only one of them  screws who cares about Zandra.

Josh: Well good then, now you can stop stressing yourself out about her and start looking forward to getting out of here.

Crystal: What like i can just forget about her?

Josh: You gotta start thinking about your own life now Chris.

Crystal: Think about yours you mean, how can you talk so selfish?

Josh: What, look i'm just trying to help you out, you know you're getting out on friday, and she's not. You're gonna have to start to let go.

Crystal: Yer well if that's what you think maybe you better let go of me.

(Crystal walks away)

Josh: Chris!

(In four bed dorm, present are Denny and Zandra)

Zandra: Why is it always worse first thing in the morning?

Denny: 'Cos everything is man.

(Dominic enters cell)

Dominic: Hiya, how you been doing?

Denny: She's been missing you sir.

Zandra: (To Dominic) Nice holiday?

Dominic: Yer.

Zandra: I went to hospital.

Dominic: Hospital?

Zandra: Last week. They sent me for a load of tests.

Dominic: What kind of tests?

Denny:They stuck all these wires in her head.

Zandra: Yer it was really scary.

Denny: And stuck pins in her innit.

Dominic: And what did they say?

Zandra: Nothing, just gave me a few tests and then sent me back here.

Dominic: Well they must have to wait for the results then. Yer but that's great, i mean you're being seen properly now. (Zandra nods) Yer, they'll soon have you sorted out.

(Dominic leaves cell, and Zandra suffers a headache. Denny pats her on the shoulder)

(Karen Betts' Office, Karen is talking to Shell, who is wearing prison charity clothes, and is holding a tissue where she has been crying.)

Karen: So how you feeling? Ready to go back on the wing?

Shell: It's not me you gotta worry about miss Betts, it's my two kids, I've gotta get them away from my mum.

Karen: So you are worried about them?

Shell: Well yer i've gotta be haven't i? You've gotta help me get them took into care miss.

Karen: It's okay Shell. Now i've already had a talk with probation, and with Meg Richards, and we all think you needcto speak to your mum. For your own sake as much as anything.

Shell: Yer but i don't see her do i. She won't come and visit me.

Karen: Well, we can make contact with her and ask her to come in for a private meeting. Do you think she'd refuse that?

Shell: She won't bring my kids though, and it's them i've gotta save from her.

Karen: Talk to her about them, tell her why you're worried.

Shell: (Sighs) I should have done it ages ago. I just daren't say it to myself then, oh stupid.

Karen: Takes alot of courage.

Shell: I could kill her for it now.

Karen: Can we not talk about killing people?

Shell: Yer sorry miss.

Karen: Right then.

Shell: Err you won't say nothing to anyone else about this, will you? The other girls?

Karen: Trust me.

(Yvonne's cell ,where she is reading the paper. One side's headline is ATKINS ARRESTED and the other side is full of advert for telephone sex lines. Walks over to mirror, then walks back to paper and looks at the adverts again, then she smiles)

( In the garden, where Nikki is tending to Cannabis leaves. Barbara walks over and bends down next to her.)

Nikki: Tomato plants.

Barbara: Very unusual variety isn't it?

Nikki: I think they've got a touch of blight actually.

(Barbara takes one)

Barbara: Certainly got a touch of something.

(Barbara and Nikki look at eachother)

Nikki: I had a letter from Helen this morning, she told me i better be keeping my nose clean, so i reckon this little lot's gonna have to be molched.

Barbara: It's interesting isn't it, a hundred years ago, cannabis was regarded as a perfectly legal treatment for all sort of ailments.

Nikki: Surprised you'd know that Barbara.

Barbara: I grew it myself for my husband during his illness. Seems an awful waste of a perfectly good herbal remedy, particularly when all poor Zandra's been given is a few miserable paracetamol. We can say it came from me.

Nikki: I really don't get you Barbara, one minute you're Mrs middle-England and the next thing you're offering to be a drugs mule, i mean excuse me?

Barbara: I only obey rules i respect Nikki, which in this place i assure you, means very few.

(Outside potting shed, yvonne walks towards Denny)

Yvonne: Alright.

Denny: Y'alright.

Yvonne: I need another errand from your little friend over there. (Nods over to Josh)

Denny: Yer?

Yvonne: It's to meet my Lauren in the Larkhall Arms at six 'o' clock. Give her this to take back out. (Hands Denny a package)

Denny: What is it?

Yvonne: It's me locket and chain. She'll give him his fee and a plastic lunchbox to give to you tomorrow morning.

Denny: A lunchbox?

Yvonne: Yer well he can pop that in his tool bag can't he?

Denny: Alright.

(Denny walks over to Josh)

Denny: You alright geez, you got a light mate?

Josh: Yer (hands her a lighter)

Denny: Got another job for you, if you know what i mean.

Josh: Den, i can't do no more jobs for ya, not now.

Denny: What do you mean? Why not?

Josh: You're asking me to do a crime. I could get arrested just as Crystals getting out.

Denny: No you wont.

Josh: Nah, nah i'm in the doghouse with her already so...

Denny: Look please Josh. I'll put in a good word with her for ya.

(Karen's office, Dominic knocks on the door then enters)

Karen: Oh hi Dominic. Have a good holiday? Ibiza wasn't it?

Dominic: Yer.

Karen: Live up to expectation?

Dominic: Yer, it was great.

Karen: Well, i'm sorry to plunge you straight back in at the deep-end, but it's about Zandra Plackett.

Dominic: yer, i'm going to have a really good talk with her today, try and set some new goals. I mean i really think she's been trying but... (Karen interrupts)

Karen: I didn't mean about that. I've had the results of her tests back from the hospital. You know she went in last week?

Dominic: yer, she said yer.

Karen: This has got to be totally in confidence, but as her personal officer you're going to have to deal with this.

Dominic: What did they say?

Karen: They need to have her back in to do an urgent scan. They think she's got a malignant brain tumour.

Dominic: A brain tumour?

Karen: They're saying theres a strong possibility. Something's definately wrong with the nervous system anyway.

Dominic: She doesn't know anything about it?

Karen: Not yet.

Dominic: I can't believe this. What are we gonna do?

Karen: Well, the scan will show whether it's operable or not, if it isn't, then i don't know.

(At the cantten, Crystal and Julie J are cleaning, when Barbara walks up to them)

Barbara: I need some more tea bags for the office.

Crystal: Oh, (yells to Julie J) Jue, could you get some tea bags please?

(Julie J nods her head, then leaves)

Crystal: Thanks

Barbara: And i wanted to give you this aswell, you better hide it. (Hands Crystal a package)

Crystal:Well what is it?

Barbara: It's some cannabis.

Crystal: (Angrily) Eh?

Barbara: I'm givin it to you because you'll need to dry it out in the oven first. You'll have to disguise the smell of course, but perhaps if you put some sugar and margarine in along beside it. Anyway i'm sure Zandra will be glad of it.

(Julie J re-enters and hands Barbara the tea bags)

Julie J: Here you go.

Barbara: Thank you.

(Barbara walks away)

Crystal: (To Julie J) Don't bloody believe it.

Julie J: what's the matter?

Crystal: You know about how the Devil comes in many disguises. Well it ant no lie.

(Crystal shoves package deep into the bin below all the other rubbish)

(In Shell's cell, Karen enters)

Karen: Settled back in okay?

(Shell is staring at the pictures of her kids on the wall)

Shell: Yer.

Karen: I got through to your mum Shell. She's coming in first thing tomorrow morning.

(Shell stops staring and turns to Karen)

Shell: Tomorrow?

Karen: Yer. She said she'd come straight after dropping your daughters off at school.

Shell: But i didn't tink it would be that quick.

Karen: Well if you feel you need more time to think about it i can put her off.

(At a table in the canteen, Yvonne and Denny are eating lunch, and the two Julies are just sitting there)

Julie S: Telephone sex lines!?

Yvonne: Just think of it, hot babes behind bars, desperate for it. Well you can forget about your bored housewives, and your naughty school girls, we got the best pon aint we?

Julie S: You're not wrong.

Julie J: You're right.

Julie S: Yer i never thought of it like that.

Julie J: Well what's the deal then Yvonne?

Yvonne: The deal is, you get 10p a minute for every call you take, and it's paid directly into your personal spends.

Julie S: 10p a minute, that's...

(The two Julies think)

Julie S & Julie J: £6 an hour!

Yvonne: An hour a day, £42 a week.

Julie S: £42 that's fan...

Julie s & Julie J: ...tastic!

Yvonne: You up for it?

Julie S: You kidding?

Julie J: Yer but the problem is, that payphone (Points to phone) it don't take incoming calls.

Yvonne: Nah, but we're all gonna have our own mobiles.

Julie J: Oh.

Julie S: See.

Yvonne: Look, my daughter's setting it all up for us right, the way it works is like this: we get one of them 090 9 numbers, and then when the punter calls in, he geats a really long message telling him whats on offer. Like, in cell 1, you've got Suzy the Slut, in cell 2, you've got, or whatever acts we decide we are.

Julie S: Yea yea.

Yvonne: Alright, then he rings the number of whoever he wants to have a one to one with, and it goes directly to whoevers mobile phone it is. The more calls you take, the longer you make them last, the more that's in it for you.

Julie S: Genius!

Julie J: You've got it all worked out.

Denny: What, you mean me aswell then Yvonne?

Yvonne: Well, nah i din't think you'd be interested.

Denny: What, being on an earnor?

Yvonne: Not if it means talking a bloke for a you-know-what.

Denny: Well i don't care if it's down te other end of the phone do i? Look please Yvonne.

(Yvonne sees Dominic walking over)

Yvonne: Oi oi.

(Julies get up and pretend to clean)

Dominic: Denny, have you seen Zandra?

Denny: Oh she's behind the door, said she weren't hungry.

Dominic: Right, cheerz.

(Julies sit down again)

Denny: Please Yvonne, go on.

Yvonne: Oh alright we'll give it a shot, but you have to ask the Julies for some tips.

Julie S: You can go along way just sucking your finger down the phone.

Julie J: A few moans and groans, heavy breathing, that sort of thing.

Julie S: She'll be alright.

Yvonne: Well i've still got a few things to work out, like, advertising. But i think i know the person who can help me, so if you'll excuse me girls.

(Yvonne walks over to Barbara and Nikki)

Yvonne: Do yu mind if i? (points to chair)

Nikki: Oh, be our guest.

Yvonne: Ere Barbara, you're a bit of a whiz on the old computer aint ya?

Barbara: Well i wouldn't exactly say that.

Yvonne: But you do know your way around this internet lark?

Barbara: Yes, why?

Nikki: I think you're about to prove invaluable Barbara. (Leaves table)

(In the four bed dorm, Zandra is lying on her bed, when Dominic enters)

Dominic: Zandra?

Zandra: Hiya.

Dominic: Why aren't you having your tea?

Zandra: Felt sick.

Dominic: Listen, (closes door) i found out a bit about your tests.

Zandra: What?

Dominic: Well, basically, the hospital can't tell enough from just them so you need to go for a scan.

Zandra: A scan?

Dominic: Shouldn't tell you when but it's tomorrow morning.

Zandra: Why what do they think i've got then?

Dominic: They're not sure yet.

Zandra: They must think it's something.

Dominic: Well they know there's something not right.

Zandra: (Sighs) Well, at least that provesi'm not making it up.

Dominic: I never thought you were.

Zandra: I didn't mean you, i meant that bastard Dr Nono.

(Dominic nods)

Dominic: Anyway, i thought you'd be pleased to know i'll be taking you in there.

Zandra: Really?

Dominic: Yer. So try and get a good nights sleep and we'll set off after breakfast.

(Dominic leaves cell)

(In prison courtyard, Denny is waiting anxiously below the cell windows, at the same time Yvonne is in her cell, also waiting anxiously. Denny whistles once, which catches Yvonnes attention, then twice when another officer arrives)

Denny: (To PO) Y'alright mate.

(An obviously arranged fight breaks out, which causes all the officers to turn their attention away from everything else, including Denny. Then, she whistles again. Yvonne hears this, and sends a swinger down below to Denny who attaches the plastic yellow lunchbox Josh had given her to it. As Yvonne pulls the swinger up, Denny looks on in satisfaction)

(In Yvonnes cell, she has just recieved the lunch box, she goes over to her bed, opens it and takes out two wagon wheels, then she unwraps the tin-foil covered sandwhiches which enclosed between the 4 slices of bread, are two mobile phone chargers, and four mobile phones)

Yvonne: Yes!

(In Shell's cell, she is trying to be sick, when Karen enters)

Karen: Shell your mum's here, are you ready?

Shell: Oh tell her to sod off.

Karen: Shell!

Shell: I don't wanna see her i can't handle it!

Karen: Yes you can. You're going to do this for your daughters aren't you?

Shell: I'm scared.

Karen: I think what you're scared about is showing her how angry you feel about her, isn't that right? You've got to tell her Shell. Tell her what you feel about what she and your dad did to you, tell her you're worried about your kids, 'cos then you can start to feel good about yoursel again. Do you think 'm talking sense? Or a load of bollox?

Shell: Have you got a fag miss?

Karen: Here. (Hands Shell a ciggarette, and then lights it for her)

Shell: Okay.

(Shell and Karen leave cell)

(In the private visiting room, Shells mother, Rita Dockley, is waiting, when Shell and Karen enter, Rita walks over to them)

Rita: Michelle! What's going on? (To Karen) You the governor?

Karen: Yes, i'm Karen Betts.

Rita: Well what's all this about?

Karen: What i said to you on the phone, Michelle wants to talk to you.

Rita: Yer, well i can see why. (To Shell) What have they done with your nice clothes Michelle? And your makeup? (To Karen) You bastards took her make up off her?

Karen: No.

Shell: I've been in the hospital block mum, i went a bit funny.

Rita: You've been doped up aint ya? (To Karen) What you do that to her for, she didn't need bloody doping up.

Karen: (To Shell) There'll be an officer outside the door Michelle, be back in half an hour.

(Karen leaves)

Rita: Cor, you look terrible love. better tell me what's been going on.

(Rita puts Shell into a seat)

(In one of the side rooms, present are Yvonne, Denny and the two Julies. Yvonne is holding out a makeup bag, which everyone is taking a mobile phone out of)

Yvonne: Right, each of you's gotta look after your own now.

Denny: What? Crutch it?

Yvonne: No, down your bra will do, and you wear the headset like you would your walkman. What we gotta look like now is that we're listening to music the whole time.

Julie S: Right.

Julie J: They're lovely light little things aint they.

Yvonne: State of the art Jules. Ere can one of you look after the charger?

(Yvonne holds phone charger out)

Julie S: Yer, gis it here. (Takes charger and stuffs it down her top) They're all mine miss, honest.

(Girls laugh)

Yvonne: I've got one for us Denny.

Denny: Ere i've been thinking, we should get Shell in on this.

Yvonne: Eh?

Denny: Well she can act it brilliant can't she, all that sexy talk stuff.

Yvonne: You're kidding Denny, i don't want her anywhere near this operation, she can't be trusted.

Denny: I just thought...(Yvonne interupts)

Yvonne: Forget it. I don't want you saying one tiny word to her, d'you hear me?

Julie S: Ere we got our call names worked out Yvonne.

Yvonne: Yer?

Julie S: And i'm saucy Sonia. And we thought we could do a one on one, or a nimpho sisters number.

Yvonne: That's great!

Denny: Oh i chose my name too, i'm gonna be Gail.

Yvonne, Julie J & Julie S: Gail!?

Denny: Yer.

Yvonne: Well why Gail Denny?

Denny: I knew a girl called Gail.

Yvonne: Yer? (Denny nods) Well, what kind of act do you think it should be?

Denny: Just whatever.

Yvonne: (To the Julies) Any ideas girls?

Julie S: Well she could do the virgin number.

Julie J: Yer could do virgin bride couldn't she? Got banged up before she got...

(Julie S interrupts)

Julie S: ...Banged up.

Julie J: Yer 'cos you could just pretend you don't know nothing then.

Julie S: Yer just do oohs and aahs.

Julie J: Yer.

Yvonne: Virgin bride suit you Den?

(Denny nods)

Denny: Yer.

Julie S: Can't call yourself Gail though.

Julie J: Yer you gotta have a name with a bit more shoosh love.

Julie S: Yer not too much.

Julie J: How about luscious Lola?

Julie S: Virginal, virginal... Vicky...

Julie S & Julie J: Vicky the virgin bride!

Denny: Yer okay.

Julie J: What you gonna call yourself Yvonne?

Yvonne: Oh it's gotta be something with discipline for me girls...(puts on accent) call me Silvya Hollamby, the stern screw that likes strictness and spanking, disobedience will be severely dealt with!

(girls laugh)

Julie S: That is brilliant.

Julie J: We got a great range aint we?

Julie S: Great range Jue.

Yvonne: Listen right, meet me back here after dinner, and we'll have a proper practise with the phones and sort out our patter. (To Denny) You and me's got a date in the library.

(In the private visiting room, Rita lights Shell's ciggarette for her)

Rita: Giving me the bloody summons, i could tell right off she was a cow.

Shell: She aint she's alright.

Rita: Alright!? How can you say that love when she's got you here looking like a lump of sick? Cynide pills, that's what i'd give them screws, a whole bloody bunch of them, wipe them off the face of the earth. Bloody would too i'm telling ya.

Shell: How's Kayleigh and Deena?

Rita: Don't worry about Kayleigh and Deena, Michelle, it's you you gotta worry about. You gotta get ya fight back girl. Get the old swagger back, hmm. Them pigs think they can grind Michelle Dockley down, bollox! Up their arses.

(Rita's voice is drowned out by the sound of Shell's thoughts)

(In Shell's thoughts)

Rita: He can't have touched you, y'kidding?

Shell: I don't want to. Please mum.

Rita: Be a little daddy's girl.

Shell: Mum, tell him not to touch me. Mum!

Rita: Daddy's only having fun.

(In the library, Barbara is typing on the computer with Yvonne sitting next to her, Denny is keeping look out)

Barbara: Honestly, i think what's the point of having a password if you're going to leave it taped to the back of the monitor, but i've seen it done so many times. Anyway, have you decided what you want to call this service of yours?

Yvonne: Yer, we were thinking babes behind bars. But let me run this by you again, are you sure this is totally free?

Barbara: Oh yes totally free, and pretty much totally untraceable back to here.

Yvonne: Bloody fantastic!

Barbara: Yes i believe alot of criminals are using it these days for all sorts of things. Right then, in order to get you as many hits as possible, we need to register your website with some twenty five keywords about it's content.

Yvonne: Tell me that again in English.

Barbara: Well, we need to think of words  that your likely clients might use to search. Sex for instance would be an obvious one, or girls, or naughty, or phone. Anything they might associate with the service you're going to provide.

Yvonne: Right, you ready for this Barbara?

Barbara: Oh yes, i think i'm going to enjoy myself.

(Outside the cells, Zandra is waiting to go and see the Doctor. Waiting with her are Denny and Crystal)

Dominic: Come on.

Crystal: God bless yea.

Denny: Yer take care mate.

(Zandra and Dominic walk away)

Rita: If you're not gonna back yourself up then i don't know what i can say to ya Michelle. Must of doped you up good and proper.  What was it pills they give ya? Well don't swallow them love, tuck 'em under your tongue, then spit the buggers out. (Sighs) Right i'm just gonna have to hope it's all sunk in somewhere aint i. I gotta get off, i'll give ya these, (hands out 3 ciggarettes) go on keep 'em for later. (Drops them on table and sighs, then Karen comes in)

Karen: Hello.

Rita: You've turned my daughter into a zombie aint ya. Look at her, she can't even tell me about it. Can't even barely keep her lips open.

Shell: Shut it mum.

Rita: No wonder she asked to see me, 'cos she needs me to tell ya what a bunch of bas...

Rita: Shut your mouth.

Shell: Well i aint forgot none of it see, 'cos you don't, you remember all of it.

Rita: Right i'm off. You can stay in here and rot yo twisted little cow.

Shell: (Yelling) Well don't think i'm gonna let you get at Kayleigh and Deena 'cos you're not! 'Cos i'm telling social services.

Rita: Don't say that!

Shell: I mean it mum, i'm gonna, 'cos i aint having my kids brought u by a pervert!

Rita: Don't call me that. I'd never see any harm done to them kids. (Shell starts heavily crying) It was all your drunk pig of a dad Michelle, i was scared of him.

(Rita tries to hug Shell)

Shell: Don't touch me!

(Rita starts crying)

Rita: Please don't blame me for what he did to ya. Don't blame me darling.

Shell: (To Karen) I wanna go to my cell miss.

(Karen nods)

Karen: Okay.

(Shell and Karen leave)

(In the hallway, Karen walks Shell back to the wing, and hugs her)

(In the servery, Crystal is putting food away when Josh walks in)

Josh: Hey. Can i talk to you for a bit?

Crystal: Look, i'm really sorry about what i said to you.

Josh: No look, i'm sorry for what i said Chris.

Crystal: It's just that things aint been that easy right now innit.

Josh: Zandra back from the hospital?

(Crystal shakes her head)

Crystal: Must be soon.

Josh: You know i never meant it the way it came out about her. I think you're fantastic to her. It's just, i really love you Chris. (Crystal smiles) I've said it now so.

Crystal: Do you mean it?

Josh: Yer, i dunno why, because you're crazy. But, just be nice to know that you felt the same way about me.

Crysal: I keep letting you waste ma time dont i?

(Josh laughs)

Josh: I can't wait 'till we can be together somewhere normal, instead of all this sneaking about. Y'know, spend a whole evening together, just the two of us.

Crystal: Well just as long as you remember i'm saving myself till my wedding night, right? So you better be dead sure you know what you're saying to me.

(In Shell's cell, Shell and Karen walk in)

Karen: Maybe you should try and have a bit of rest now.

Shell: Can i go or a bath miss?

Karen: Yes of course. I'll tell the officer on duty.

Shell: Thanks, you gonna get on to social services then?

Karen: Yer, and it will be up to them what's best for your kids, but you know you don't have to worry about them now.

Shell: Yer.

Karen: You've been really brave Michelle. And i hope you feel alot better about yourself because of it. Make a big difference on your progress report.

Shell: Thanks alot miss. You've been real good to me.

Karen: I'll leave you to it then. Have another cat soon.

(Karen leaves the cell. Shell takes the pictures o her daughters off of her pin board, kisses them, and then tears them up)

(In the servery, Crystal is cleaning, when she sees Dominic and Zandra re-entering the wing)

Crystal: Zandra!

Zandra: Hiya.

Dominic: Any tea going?

Crystal: Yea. (takes out tea and cups) How'd it go?

Zandra: They gave me a fix of that stuff again. It's alright.

Crystal: And what about the scan?

Zandra: Dunno, i'll find out about it later.

(In the art room, Yvonne, Denny and the two Julies are discussing the phones)

Yvonne: The only two buttons you need to know about are these. You press this one to answer, and this onew when you're finished to switch it off.

(Yvonne points to the buttons)

Denny:What if it rings when the screws' around?

Yvonne: Ah, i was just coming to that, 'cos they're not gonna ring, they're gonna vibrate.

Julie S: Vibrate?

Denny: Eh?

Julie J: What you mean like...

Yvonne: That's the beauty of these little buggers, they've been fixed so that when a call comes in, you can't hear nothing, but you get a good vibration down your cleavage.

Julie S: Ooooh we like the sound o that, don't we Jue?

Julie J: Probably like the feel of it n'all.

(Girls laugh)

Yvonne: Yer well you'll soon find out. We've got our own website on the internet.

Julie J: Yeah?

Yvonne: Babes behind bars! (girls laugh) as live from tomorrow.

Julie S & Julie J: Tomorrow?

Yvonne: That's right.

Denny: Right.

(In Dr Nicholson's office, Zandra and Dominic are waiting)

Dominic: I'm sure it won't be long now.

Zandra: I need some more of that stuff. It's all coming back, but hurting my eyes now.

(Dr Nicholson enters)

Dr Nicholson: Right then. So i've had a fax from the hospital, it's the results of your various tests, including the scan, and basically it confirms the abnormality we suspected from your eeg result.

Zandra: What?

Dr Nicholson: You have a high grade, brain stem dioma, thats a tumour. Now that's very unusual in a female of your age.

Zandra: A tumour?

Dr Nicholson: A cancerous growth. Now unfortunately, it's located too close to a vital part of your brain to make surgery a viable option, so...

(Zandra interrupts)

Zandra: I have brain cancer?

Dr Nicholson: Yes. So what they're offering you, is radiotherapy to reduce the size of the tumour, but theres no possibility that this will becure it.

Zandra: What? (To Dominic) What's he saying?

Dominic: Could you put it a bit more plainly?

Dr Nicholson: What i'm saying is you can have radiotherapy if you want to, in that case you go every day for two weeks. But theres no chance of a cure. So quite frankly, given the side effects of lathogy and hair loss and so on, this is not something i would reccomend.

Dominic: What are you reccomending then?

Dr Nicholson: All that's left, pallutives, steroids, painkillers. Even here, managing the dosage could be tricky.

Zandra: So what''s going to happen to me?

Dominic: She asked you a question!

Dr Nicholson: All i can say from the information here, is that she may die in months rather than years.

(In the four bed dorm are the two Julies, Zandra and Crystal)

Julie S: I can't believe it.

Julie J: It's terrible.

Crystal: It's been terrible right from the start the way she's been treated in here.

Julie S: Yer i know.

Crystal: Keep blaming it on drugs, they should have sent her for tests ages ago.

Julie S: 'Course they should 'ave.

Julie J: 'Course.

Crystal: Then maybe they could have done something.

Julie J: D'they know what caused it Zan?

Zandra: They said they don't know the cause.

(A nurse enters the cell)

Nurse: Zandra Plackett?

Zandra: Me.

Nurse: There we are.

(The nurse gives her a small amount of tablets)

Zandra: Is this all i get? Two shitty pills? The doctor has just told me that i've got a brain tumour!

Nurse: Well i'm sorry love.

(Zandra take the pills and the nurse leaves)

Zandra: He's still at it isn't he. he's still not giving me my proper dose.

(Zandra starts crying) 

(In Shell's cell, Shell is standing at her mirror, putting mascara on, and Denny is lying on the bed)

Shell: So, they'll get 'em adopted by some nice normal family, and i just gotta be glad i done the right thing by 'em.

Denny: Yer well, i'm glad you're getting all niced up again anyway.

Shell: It's all down to that miss Betts, what she done for me. I tell ya, she's alright, and anyone who thinks any different better watch their gob in front of me. ( Stands and faces Denny and lifts arms) Tada!

(In Karen's office, Dominic and Dr Nicholson are sitting one side and Karen is sitting on the other)

Dr Nicholson: Well, that is the sorry picture i'm afraid.

Karen: Well are there any alternative therapy's we can offer her?

Dr Nicholson: Well what do you have in mind? Coffee ennimas and such like?

Karen: I don't know, any, dietary supplements to boost up her general health?

Dr Nicholson: Not after all the years of abuse she's given it, no.

Dominic: Those women are dead right about you.

Karen: (Yelling) Dominic!

Dominic: You really don't give a toss about them do you?

Dr Nicholson: I'll try and overlook that.

(Dr Nicholson gets up)

Dominic: Not this time!

(Dominic grabs him and spins him around to face him)

Karen: Leave it!

(Dr Nicholson breaks free of his grasp and leaves)

Karen: I thought i asked you to just sit in on this.

Dominic: Well i'm sorry, but i'm sick of listening to this shit! What are we talkin about here? A dying kid! She's not even twenty years old! She's gotta spend the last few months of her life locked up in prison, with him as a doctor! We've already taken her baby off of her for gods sake! It's bloody barbaric! What are we doing? Why don't we just let her out?

Karen: Of well why don't we open the gaes and let them all out in that case? Don't be stupid!

Dominic: She's dying!

Karen: She's still a convicted prisoner Dominic! She's done wrong! And if she's not seen to be serving her sentence like everybody else there'll be bloody uproar out there on the landings! And before you open your trap again, i've already reported my concerns about Zandra's medical care. I'm also going to see about releasing her on temporary lisence!

Dominic: Oh what so she'll get out for all of five days?

Karen: Will you just shut up and listen! (Dominic sits down) You are not the only person with a conscience in here Dominic, now what i'm trying to say is, if we could just get her out of prison, all she's got to do is get her GP to say she's too ill to come back! D'you think she could manage that?

(Dominic nods)

(In the hallway, barbara and Nikki are walking when Crystal runs up to them)

Crystal: (To Barbara) Can i ask you something?

Barbara: What?

Crystal: That weed you give me, would it really help Zandra not to feel so much pain?

Barbara: So you haven't given it to her then?

Crystal: I will if you've got some more.

Barbara: Well i haven't!

Crystal: What am i gonna do then i gotta get her something. You heard what she's been told?

Nikki: Yer we heard, and you know what the joke is Crystal? If she were being treated outside here, they'd probably be giving her heroine now, not with your approval i'm sure.

Crystal: Well i know what you all think of me but i'll do anything or her right now. Please, i need your help.

Nikki: Yer well i'm sorry but personally i'm not into anything right now. Anyway, from what i gather, your the one with the best contact for getting stuff brought in here Crystal.

Crystal: What do you mean?

Nikki: That boyfriend of yours.

Crystal: Eh?

Nikki: He's who everybody else uses isn't he?

(In the canteen, Denny is sitting at a table, pretending to listen to music, and eating her breakfast, Shell has just been served hers and is walking over to the table when she notives everyones head phones)

Shell: Eh what's everybody listening to all of a sudden? (Denny gives a confused look as if she can't hear) I said what is it! Ere (takes headphone out of Denny's ear) let's have a listen.

Denny: Shell!

Shell: Theres nothing on this! You better tell me what's going on.

(Outside the Po's office)

Karen: Dom! I've managed to get Simon on his mobile, he was off to area, anyway, i think you'd better go and ask Zandra what address she wants to go to.

Dominic: Really?

(Karen smiles then walks away)

(back at the table, Denny has told Shell all about Babes behind bars)

Shell: Right then.

(Shell walks over to Yvonne)

Denny: Shell!

Shell: Err, i know about babes behind bars, and i wanna be one.

Yvonne: For shits sake Denny!

Denny: I didn't tell her on purpose, she made me!

Shell:Yer, and i'll be a frig sight better at doing it than her.

Yvonne: I don't want you blowing the gaf on this Dockley.

Shell: Better let me in then.

(In the four bed dorm, Zandra is suffering from a headache when Dominic enters)

Dominic: Zandra! It's me. I've got some good news for you.

Zandra: What about?

Dominic: Miss Betts is gonna let you out on a temporary liscence.

Zandra: You're letting me out?

Dominic: Yer, so all you've gotta do is register with a GP, get them to sign you off sick and then they can't send you back to prison.

Zandra: What do you mean? Where would i go?

Dominic: Anywhere you like, a friends', relative's.

Zandra: Aint got any relatives, well none that gives a shit.

Dominic: Well there must be someone. Where did you live before you were sentenced?

Zandra: Robin and i had a bedsit, but that's been gone ages.

Dominic: Well you could call him. (Zandra sighs) Well, what about other friends?

Zandra: The only friends i've got are in here.

Dominic: Crystal gets out in a couple of days, why don't you get together with her? Where's she gonn be staying?

Zandra: Her boyfriends'.

Dominic: Well?

Zandra: What, you think they want me to come and die with them?

(In the servery, Crystal is talking to Josh)

Josh: So who told you? Denny?

Crystal: I told her, then she told me it was true.

Josh: Come on i couldn't say no to all that money could i? I got a new bathroom suite out of all this. I know it could have turned out nasty yea, and i shouldn't have risked it. But, i swear to you, it aint never gonna happen again.

Crystal: Well it is gonna happen again right. Just one more time, that's if you wanna keep me sweet.

Josh: (Not understanding) Eh?

Crystal: Look, this friend of mine, she's a nurse.

(On the Gwing landing, Yvonne and Shell walk up to Barbara)

Yvonne: Barbara.

Barbara: Yes?

Yvonne: I need you to add something to the website.

Barbara:oh?

Yvonne: Another babe.

(Shell smiles at Barbara)

(On the other side of the landing, Denny is talking to the two Julies)

Denny: Is she pissed off with me or something?

Julie J: 'Course she's pissed off with ya Den.

Julie S: Yer what did you have to get Shell involved for anyway?

Denny: Look i didn't mean to, she forced me.

Julie J: Yer well i've had to give up my mobile now.

Julie S: Yer and we've gotta share one between us.

Denny: Well we aint had any calls yet.

Julie S: Yer well when we do you gotta make sure that you don't go wasting 'em alright?

Denny: Yea!

Julie S: Well answer it then.

Julie J: Go on.

Julie S: Quick.

Denny: What, here?

Julie S: Good point. In here.

(Julie S & Julie J Take Denny into their cell)

Denny: Hello.

Julie S: (Whispering) Be sexy, sexy.

Julie J: (Whispering) Yea you're Vicky, Vicky.

Denny: Yea, this is Vicky, what d'you want?... You what?... Lick what off!?... Hey you can get to... Yer well you're one seriously sick geezer man!

(Denny hangs up the phone)

Julie S: Denny!

Julie J: D'you just cut him off?

Denny: You didn't hear what he was telling me.

Julie S: Den!

Julie J: Well what d'you think he was gonna tell ya?

Julie S: You're on a bleedin' telephone sex line!

Denny: It's off again.

Julie J: Oh god i don't believe this.

Julie S: How comes they keep calling her?

Julie J: You got one more chance Denny.

(Denny nods)

Denny: (Sexily) Hi, this is Vicky. (Normally) You the same geezer i just spoke to! Yer, well listen mister, you're saying you want a bad mouthed bitch, i aint even started on you yet!

(Denny smiles then winks at the Julies)

(On the landing, Crystal walks over to Zandra who is sitting on a table)

Crystal: Alright girl, i gotta get back. You alright?

Zandra: D'you think i'm a really bad person?

Crystal: What?

Zandra: That i'm being punished for it.

Crystal: Hmm, that's daft. What you saying that for?

Zandra: Why is it me then? Why isn't it Shell or Denny or someone else?

Crystal: it aint 'cos you're a bad person Zandra.

Zandra: You think i'm going to hell don't you?

Crystal: I aint even thinking like that.

Zandra: I'm so scared Crystal.

(Crystal hugs Zandra)

Crystal: Don't be scared. God's gonna look after you innit, 'cos i'm praying him to. I tell you enough prayers is going up there to heaven for you girl non stop.

Zandra: Couldn't have stayed with you and Josh any way could i?

Crystal: How d'you mean?

Zandra: Don't matter.

Crystal: No, what are you saying stay with us?

Zandra: It's just that Mr McCallister said that i could get out on liscence if i had somewhere to stay, but i haven't have i? I'm gonna miss you so much Crystal.

(Zandra and Crystal start crying)

(In the servery, Josh walks up to Crystal)

Josh: Hey.

Crystal: Did you get it? (Josh hands her a tube of painkillers) You're the best. Listen i'm really gratefull to you for dooing this for me Josh, but don't you ever do it again.

Josh: That's not gonna happen, because i handed in my resignation yesterday.

Crystal: You what?

Josh: Yeah i thought why tempt fate? You know, i'm gonna sack myself first.

Crystal: That's a bit daft innit?

Josh: No i'm glad. I don't want nothing to do with prisons now you're getting out Chris. No i just wanna get a normal job, go work for the council or something like that. Start a whole new life together, you'll find out tomorrow.

Crystal: Just wish there was a way that Zandra could get out though. Mean that way we could have both couldn't we? Could be us together, and see her looked after.

Josh: You got her them didn't ya? (Points to painkillers)

Crystal: But what would you say though if she could get out with me?

(Josh laughs)

Josh: I would say... lucky for me that that aint gonna happen. I better make a move 'cos they got me over on H-wing but, i'm gonna see you first thing tomorrow yea, at the gate, yea?

Crystal: Yeah.

Josh: Tomorrow?

(Crystal nods)

Josh: Alright. (Kisses Crystal's cheek) See ya tomorrow.

(In the four bed dorm, Zandra is standing at her locker when Crystal enters)

Crystal: I got you some proper painkillers. (Takes tube of painkillers out from under shirt)

Zandra: What?

Crystal: DF118's, they should do something for it.

Zandra: Where'd you get them from?

(Crystal takes some and puts them in her hand)

Crystal: Let's just say the lord showed me the way.

(Zandra takes one then walks over to the mirror)

Zandra: Look, i want you to know, that i really really hope that you and Josh are happy together Crystal. You know i mean that don't you?

(Crystal nods)

Crystal: Take a pill.

(Outside in the garden, by the bins, Crystal puts on rubber gloves, then starts looking through the bins)

(In the PO's office, Dominic and Di are just talking and Barbara is sweeping the floor with a dustpan and brush, when someone pushes a note underneath the door, and Barbara picks it up)

Di: What's that Barbara?

Barbara: Just came under the door.

(Hands Di the note, and Di sighs)

Di: Pull the other one.

Dominic: What does it say?

(The note reads: I just thought you'd like to know that Crystal Gordon keeps drugs in the servery. I don't like drug dealers so i thought you should know)

Di: Oh it's just spite. It says Crystal Gordon keeps drugs in the servery.

Dominic: Crystal? No way. (Di laughs, then sighs) It's just bollox.

(Di and Dominic leave)

(In the servery, Dominic opens the oven and smells the cannabis leaves which are on one of the trays. Crystal turns her head, then smiles)

(In Karen's office, present are Dominic, Di, Karen and Crystal)

Crystal: Look i was doing it for Zandra right. And i bet you'd have done the same if it was your friend crying out in pain night after night.

Karen: Crystal, theres a bottom line here, doesn't matter how good your intentions were, you've committed an offence.

Crystal: Yer well it aint nothing like what you lot have done to Zandra. She' gonna die because of your shit Doctor, tellin' ya. A sick dog would get treated better than what she's been.

Karen: Well let me tell you something Crystal, i used to be a nurse myself, and i can assure you i am very well aware of the short comings of the prison health service. But that's one thing, bringing in drugs is another.

Crystal: Well it's tough innit. 'Cos i'm getting out tomorrow.

Karen: Not now you're not.

(In the four bed dorm, Zandra walks in to find Crystal packing, and Di with her)

Zandra: Why are you packing up already Crystal?

Di: 'Cos she's going down the block.

Zandra: Why what's happened? You're supposed to be getting out tomorrow morning.

Di: She's been a very stupid girl.

Crystal: I was only trying to help Zandra.

Di: Yer well you'll know now that smuggling cannabis in here's not the way.

Zandra: You what?

Di: Well that's how she's got additional days added to her sentence.

(Zandra laughs)

Zandra: Crystal!

(Crystal laughs, then they hug)

Di: You did this on purpose didn't you?

(Crystal looks at Di in an innocent manner)

(Outside the gate, Josh is waiting with an engagement ring in his hand, he sees all the girls walking out, but Crystal's not there, so he walks off, upset)
