Bruce is sitting behind the governor's desk as Colleen and Geoff enter the office

Bruce looks at them with surprise

Bruce - Mrs. Powell.....I wasn't sure if you'd be back in today or not

Colleen - I didn't want to stay away for longer than a day

Bruce looks at Geoff

Bruce - Hello Mr Carlson, how are you? We didn't think you'd be back so soon

Geoff - I'm fine boy and ready to get stuck in again

Colleen -Thanks for looking after things for me Bruce

Bruce - Thanks for having faith in me to do it Governor

Colleen - Any problems while I was away?

Bruce shakes his head

Bruce - The place ran like clockwork, Marina and I saw to that

Geoff gives an inquisitive look

Geoff - Marina?

Colleen - Yes Marina Donovan Sean's fiancee. You probably remember her from Woodridge?

Geoff looks unimpressed

Geoff - Oh I remember her alright

A nervous Toni is waiting in the visitor's room at Woodridge as Nigel is shown in

Nigel looks at her with a leering smirk

Nigel - Well what a nice surprise, I wasn't expecting to see you again

Toni - Have you any idea what you've done to Beth? To your wife and your kids?

Nigel - I couldn't care less about that old trout, she never liked me and I never liked her

Toni - What about Rachel and the kids then? Do you care what you did to them?

Nigel - I did it for their own good, don't you see that? I tried explaining it to Rach, stubborn as a mule as usual. She always has been stubborn

Toni - You're pathetic, sick, and pathetic

Nigel - and you're still gorgeous.... a shame to ruin the visit with a slanging match. Why don't we get friendly again like we did before

Nigel touches Toni up under the table, she pushes his hand away

Toni - Keep your dirty hands off me

Nigel - A feisty one, I like it

Nigel smirks

Nigel - If I ask nicely Mr Brown will leave us alone for 10 minutes.....isn't that right Sir?

Officer Brown - The lady doesn't look likes she wants to be left alone with you

Nigel - She does, she is just playing hard to get

Nigel leans across the table

Nigel - Come on darling, give us a kiss

Toni pushes him away in disgust

Mr Brown - Keep it nice or I'll terminate the visit

Toni - You know looks can be so unbelievably deceiving. When I first met you at that party I remember thinking what a nice normal family man you were...but it turns out your a sick murderer and pervert

Nigel - Yes well if you came all this way just to insult me, I feel I ought to tell you that I have a very thick skin so you'll be wasting your time

Toni - Actually I came to ask you about what happened after the party, you know when we were found together on the sofa

Nigel smirks

Nigel - You mean you don't remember? Well I guess its hardly surprising really, considering how much you had to drink that night

Toni - That's right, I don't remember anything, so why don't you enlighten me?

Nigel - You were all over me love....begging for it you were. You wanted it more than I did I think

Toni - I want the truth

Nigel - That is the truth

Toni leans across the table

Toni - Did you rape me?...did you slip a date rape drug in my drink?

Nigel chuckles

Toni - Answer me!

Officer Brown - Sit back in your seat and stop whispering

Toni sits back down

Nigel continues to giggle so she reaches under the table and hits him in the balls. He grimaces in pain

Toni - Someone should have chopped these off at birth you bastard

Nigel glances at Officer Brown and then leans across the table to whisper

Nigel - Ok you want to know I'll tell you, yes I did rape you...and I damn well enjoyed myself too. But if you're thinking of reporting it I'm not about to own up to it and there's no proof of anything, just your word against mine

Toni shakes her head in disgust, she has tears in her eyes

Toni - Oh you bastard!

Nigel - What's the big deal anyway? I was gentle, I never hurt ya

Officer Brown - Look you two, I won't warn you again, sit back down straight and stop whispering

Toni stands up

Toni - I'm leaving now anyway

Nigel - Aww must you leave so soon? What a pity....I'm sure Officer Brown would still be willing to leave us alone for a while if we asked him nicely

Nigel winks at Toni

Toni leaves the room, she is upset

Colleen and Geoff are alone in the office

Colleen - Perhaps you should work in reception today darling, have light duties

Geoff looks annoyed

Geoff - Absolutely not, I'm here to do a proper day's work. I'll go and see the women shortly

Colleen looks fretful

Colleen - I just hope you're not taking on too much too soon

Geoff - I'm not....anyway I want to discuss Donovan

Colleen - What about her?

Geoff - Why is she here Col? That woman is corrupt, I have never liked her. At Woodridge i suspected she was involved in bringing drugs in, organizing fights among the men, and having improper relations with some of the men among other things. I could never prove anything because Crawford thought highly of the woman

Colleen - I wanted her here Geoff

Geoff looks stunned

Geoff - Why Col? You knew about her, I told you. Why on earth would you want her here?

Colleen bows her head and looks sheepish

Colleen - Look Geoff, she was Sean's fiancee as you know.....well she wanted to come here to take care of Ferguson and I want her to do that as well

Geoff -Take care of Ferguson?...what has got into you Col? You're not corrupt

Colleen - No but damn it Geoff look at what that woman's done to you...look at what she did to Sean and to Gaffney....alright so Gaffney was a troublemaker but she didn't deserve to lose her life like that...and what about poor young Sean?

Geoff - Whatever's she's done that doesn't mean we have to take any revenge. That just makes us no better than she is. Frankly, I'm shocked at this

Colleen - Look I'm not proud of feeling this way but that woman needs to be dealt with

Geoff - She has been, she's in here for the rest of her life for a start

Colleen - Well I'm sorry but that's just not enough

Geoff - And what about the other prisoners here, do you care about their welfare while Donovan is here?

Colleen - Yes of course I do, I told her not to harm any of the other inmates

Geoff - And you believe she'll take any notice of that do you?

Geoff gets up with a look of disapproval

Geoff - I'm disappointed in you Col, I really am

Geoff leaves the office. Colleen looks upset

Marina is in a dark section of the prison doing up her shirt

She has Stud with her

Marina kisses him

Marina - You sexy beast Stud!

Stud - You're almost as good as Janice Raymond was

Marina - Janice Raymond? Who is she?

Stud - A screw who was here months ago, a real corker she was...hope you're not offended

Marina - No I'll just have to get better won't I?...soon you'll forget all about this Janice woman

They kiss again and play around

Marina - Did you get the protection money off the men?

Stud - Yes....some of them tried to resist but they didn't get very far

Marina - let's have my cut then

Stud hands a wad of cash over

Marina - There's a good boy, keeps things nice between us this way doesn't it. Bruce and I don't mind your little rackets as long as we get our cut

The rec room

The women are sitting around looking bored as Geoff arrives in the doorway

Geoff - Good morning ladies...

Joan and Roo look over, Joan smirks

Joan - So you're back Mr Carlson?

Geoff - Yes I am and I wish I could say it was a pleasure to see you, Ferguson

Joan - How's the new leg then? Must take a bit of getting used to eh?

Geoff stares at Joan

Roo looks remorseful

Roo - Mr Carlson, I'm sorry about what happened

Geoff - You're sorry are you Morgan?

Roo -Yeah I am, honestly

Geoff - The only thing you're sorry about is that your plan to escape didn't work out for you

Roo - No I'm sorry you got hurt, really

Geoff - And you Ferguson?

Joan - You're right, the only thing I'm sorry about is that the plan to escape didn't work out

Joan delivers a vicious smirk and winks at Geoff before raising her hand and doing a gun symbol at Geoffs head

Joan - Shame I missed my intended target too isn't it

Geoff is shaking with rage, he turns to leave and loses his balance, falling to the ground

Roo rushes over to help him up

Roo - Let me help you Mr Carlson

Geoff pushes her away and gets up on his own, he is shaking

Geoff - I can manage perfectly ok on my own thank you Morgan...and even if i couldn't you're the last person I would want to help me, last along with Ferguson

Roo stands head bowed as Geoff rushes out, sweat pouring down his face

Joan laughs cruelly and most of the other prisoners join in with her

Roo (angry) - STOP IT THE LOT OF YOU, CAN'T YOU SEE THE POOR BUGGERS IN DISTRESS?

Joan sneers at Roo

Joan - Since when have you cared Morgan? This saint act all of a sudden doesn't seem convincing to me

Roo - Look I just don't think there is any need to torment him that's all, we've done enough to him already

Marina is with Kate in private

Kate - So young Josie is already hooked on the stuff and some of the others are following

Marina - You surprise me, Peterson, you really do

Kate - How so?

Marina - When I first clapped eyes on you I didn't think you'd be anything special around here but you're proving to be a real asset to me....which is more than I can say about Morgan right now. She has been useless

Kate - Thank you very much

Marina - Of course, I'm still relying on you to get Ferguson hooked

Kate - Well I tried to tempt her but so far she won't bite

Marina - Then you need to try harder don't you...I heard she had a drug habit before, how hard can it be to tempt her back to it?

Kate - I will keep trying of course

Marina - Yes you just do that...she will be much more vulnerable and weaker if she's a hopeless druggie when I come around to dealing with her for the final time....justice for my Sean

Kate - Yes of course....now about young Josie, we have a problem

Marina - Oh?

Kate - Well I rather foolishly allowed her credit on the understanding she would pay up soon

Marina - Let me guess, she hasn't paid up?

Kate - Not a penny. I hate to get the girl into any trouble of course, but...

Marina nods her head

Marina - She needs a more forceful reminder now

Kate grins

Kate - That's just what I was thinking too

Marina - We'll do it when the women take their outside rec. You get her to your cell and keep her there until I arrive

Kate nods her head

Geoff is in the staff room pouring a coffee as Marina arrives. She sees him and grins

Marina - Mr Carlson, what a nice surprise to see you again

Geoff (hostile) - Yes I heard you were here....and I can't say I'm very happy about it

Marina - Pity that I was hoping we could get along a bit better now?

Geoff - No chance

Marina - Are you ok? You look rather upset?

Geoff - I'm fine, I just had to face Ferguson for the first time since.....since that incident

Marina - Ah yes, that would be enough to upset anyone. A nasty woman that one

Geoff - What are your plans, Marina?

Marina - Plans for what?

Geoff looks annoyed

Geoff - Don't play games with me, we know each other too well for that. What are your plans for Ferguson, I know you have some

Marina - Of course...and I would have thought you'd have a few plans too after what she did to you

Geoff - I won't sink to her level..or your level come to that

Marina talks in a slightly mocking tone

Marina - Of course not, you always have been too straight and decent for that right?

Geoff - That's right....and if I had my way you would be out the door

Marina - Yes I know... a pity you could never get Crawford to listen to you eh? And well now I suspect you will have equally as many difficulties getting Mrs Powell to listen too

Geoff - Colleen knows how I feel about you

Marina smirks

Marina - Do you also know that she feels the same way I do about Ferguson? And that she has given me the go-ahead to do as I please with her?

Geoff - I do and I don't know whats got into her

Marina - She must simply think the same way I do, an eye for an eye

Geoff - Col is nothing like you at all, this is a temporary lapse of judgment on her part and I will soon make her see sense

Geoff slams his coffee cup down and angrily leaves the room

Marina calls after him

Marina - DO YOU NEED A HAND? YOU LOOK A BIT UNSTEADY ON YOUR FEET THERE MR CARLSON

Geoff ignores her

Roo is alone in her cell looking at a picture of her son Danny, she has tears in her eyes

Roo - I miss ya, my little baby, I hope you're being looked after well

Roo puts the picture away and looks at one of Mike

Roo - I even miss you too you stupid fool....say g'day to Roly for me eh

Roo shakes her head with a chuckle

Roo -Gawd what's got into me, I'm going soft or something? I hate that stupid mongrel Roly!...you can tell him that from me

Roo is distracted by the sound of someone in the corridor, she looks to see Geoff passing and rushes out

Roo - Mr Carlson please, can I talk to you for a moment?

Geoff - Morgan I really have nothing to say to you

Roo - I really am sorry I swear, please believe me

Geoff - Morgan I have observed you here for some time now, you don't care what harm you cause people and you're never sorry

Roo - Hey that's just not true...sure I can be a heartless bitch I know I can. You have to be in a place like this, showing kindness and compassion can be seen as a weakness among these women you know

Geoff - Yes I know...

Roo - So can't you at least understand a little bit? I may not have shown it but I was as scared as you were during that siege. Ferguson was out of control. Fear Mr Carlson, it's everywhere in here. It's so intense you can smell it...you can almost feel it, almost taste it.....I live in fear every day. I do what I need to do to survive this rotten stinking life

Geoff - I know you do Morgan, but if you expect sympathy you won't get it from me. You put yourself here, no one else

Roo - Yes i know and I don't expect sympathy...i don't deserve sympathy i know that. Life never came with a guide book Mr Carlson. We make mistakes as we go along and then once they've been made there is no rewind button, no way to go back and change it

Roo has tears in her eyes

Roo - If I had a rewind button I'd go back a long time...ooh I'd go back years, I'd go back to a time well before I ever came to prison, long before I made the mistakes that put me in here, separated me from my son, drove a wedge between me and my sister. I'd do anything to erase it all and have a second chance....to play in the sun with my little boy, I miss him terribly....to have a life of freedom and happiness instead of oppression and fear, and to give you back your real leg again....but life just doesn't work like that does it Mr Carlson

Roo smiles sadly before walking off.

Geoff watches her go, he looks sad too

The courtyard

Josie is standing in a corner as Kate glances over. Kate approaches Joan while keeping an eye on Josie

Kate - Good afternoon Joan...

Joan - What do you want? I told you before, you and I have nothing to say to each other

Kate - Pity that I was useful during the siege remember?

Joan - Yes and we both know why that was don't we? You were hoping if you pleased me enough I wouldn't put a bullet in you

Kate - Yes well anyway I wondered if you'd thought any more on my offer?

Joan - No I haven't, I'm not at all interested

Kate - Are you sure about that? You look like you need some

Joan - All I need is for you to get out of my space......I came out for some FRESH air Peterson and while you're hanging around the air does not smell too fresh at all

Kate - Oh well suit yourself, come and find me when you change your mind

Joan (aggressive) - I won't change my mind, Peterson!

Kate - Really?

Joan - Yes really, I've put the drugs behind me for good

Kate - Well I suppose we'll see in time

Joan glares at her as she smiles serenely and glides off

Kate approaches Josie

Kate - Cheer up young lady, what's that long face for?

Josie - I need some more stuff don't i

Kate - Well I reckon I can help you out there

Josie's face lights up

Josie - Yeah?

Kate - Yeah come with me to my cell now and I'll give you something

Josie - I still can't pay you

Kate - That's ok, we'll extend the credit for a little longer shall we

Roo is alone in her cell as Marina arrives

Marina - Not going outside?

Roo - I don't feel like it, I want to be by myself

Marina pulls her off her bed and gets into her face

Marina - You've let me down big time Morgan, I thought I made it clear to you that I was only allowing you to stay alive as long as you helped me fix Ferguson? So far the only one who has been of any use to me is Peterson

Roo - I don't care if you kill me anyway, I am sick of it all now

Marina throws Roo on her bed with a look of sheer disgust

Marina - You're pathetic Morgan, full of sickening self-pity...I was led to believe you were tough and ruthless but you're as weak as they get

Roo - I've had enough of it all now that's all. I've spent years fighting to survive in here only to finally realize there's no point to it, my life's miserable, being in prison is miserable and i miss my child, I'm better off dead anyway

Marina - Oh shut up, I haven't got my violin with me today I'm afraid so it's all wasted on me

Marina pulls her gloves out of her pocket and slips them on

Marina - So you wouldn't mind if I killed you right now?

Roo - Go ahead, I want out of this hell hole

Marina grabs Roo by the throat

Marina - Perhaps you would like to be strangled to death?

Roo - Yeah why not, it's as good a way to go as any

Marina lets go with a look of contempt

Marina - You don't get out of it that easily Morgan

Marina opens Roo's locker and takes her photo album out

Marina - I've seen you looking at the pictures of your dear son, of your dear deceased boyfriend....miss them, don't you?

Roo jumps off her bed and runs over

Roo - Give that back

Marina pushes her away

Marina - I don't think so Morgan

Maria opens the album and begins to tear the photos up

Roo screams in despair and runs to fight for them

Roo - NO, NOT MY PHOTOS!

They struggle around and Marina laughs cruelly and finishes the job, she tosses all the torn photos on the floor

Marina - Now you can have them back sweetheart!...and now I have a business to attend to

Marina leaves the cell. Roo bends over and collects the ruined photos, she lays down on her bed and cries
