Sasha and Marie fight and Marie pulls a knife out of her pocket

Sasha - OH YOU BITCH, HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF A FAIR FIGHT

Marie - AT BLACKMOOR THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS A FAIR FIGHT!

Sasha - SEEMS I HAVE TO REMIND YOU YET AGAIN THAT THIS AIN'T BLACKMOOR!

Abigail sits staring at Katie

Katie - Well, aren't you going to say anything?

Abigail - Like what?

Katie - After what I just told you I would expect you to have something to say on the matter

Abigail - I think you would have been better off staying away, that's what I have to say

Katie - That was never an option, not after what you did to my husband

Abigail - Why are you so angry? I did you a favour you know. Your husband was a waste of space, the world loses nothing from his death

Katie looks like she is struggling to contain herself

Katie - Ooh you evil bitch, I could scratch your eyes out right now for a comment like that

Abigail - What's stopping you then?

Katie - I have to pick the right moment, not just go for it in the heat of the moment

Abigail - Afraid are you?

Katie - No way, I have been waiting for the moment when I can have you, it's all I am living for now

Abigail - You made a mistake telling me your plans. now I will be extra vigilant

Katie - Are you really not sorry at all, not even a little bit?

Abigail - Why should I be? What's the point in carrying out an action if all you are going to do is regret it afterward? That would be a bloody waste of time and I never waste my time on anything

Katie - It was possible that if you were at all remorseful we may have been able to talk about it, I may not have been so keen to make you pay. But because you feel no remorse it only makes me angrier

Abigail - Look, love, I knew what I was doing. I wanted to do it and I did it. I don't regret a thing, I wish I was out there now infecting more men

Katie - But he was my husband and I loved him. You took him from me, cut his life short. He was a healthy man before you infected him

Abigail smirks and gives a shrug

Abigail- And?...

Katie - You didn't have to sit and watch him suffer and fade away, i did. It is something i will never get over, it broke my heart

Abigail - Yeah, well maybe I'm a bit sorry for you but not for him. I still say you should be grateful to me though

Katie - YOU JUST DON'T GET IT DO YOU? HE WAS MY HUSBAND, I LOVED HIM. I AM NOT GRATEFUL, I AM FULL OF HATE FOR YOU, NOTHING ELSE BUT SHEER HATRED AND I WON'T BE SATISFIED UNTIL I MAKE YOU PAY

Abigail - So what do you have in mind then?

Katie - I could start by telling the other women the truth about you, they don't know about your HIV do they, could be interesting to see how they may react to it

Abigail - So tell them then, I don't care

Katie - They might hate you for it

Abigail - So? I don't want to be friends with them do i

Katie - They are likely to react with disgust. There is no telling what they might do to you

Abigail - Well I am not afraid of them either dear

Katie - Why didn't you tell them yourself if that's the case? If you are not afraid why keep it a secret?

Abigail - I was advised not to say anything, so I took the advice

Katie - Yes but why? If you're not afraid then why follow the advice?

Abigail shrugs

Abigail - I can do without the extra hassles that's all. This bunch of Sheila's screech and shout enough as it is without giving them more reason for it. Besides, it really isn't anyone else's business

Katie - I personally think they have a right to know they are sharing a cell block with a diseased bitch like you

Abigail - So tell them then, I don't care. But it shows you up as gutless doesn't it if you are depending on them to get me rather than get me yourself

Katie - Oh don't bet on it, I can and will still get you in my own way regardless of whether I tell the others about you or not

Abigail - I will be ready, ready, and waiting whenever you want to strike

Katie - I'll see you later then...

Katie leaves the cell

Sasha fights Marie for the knife

Marie bites into Sasha's arm, making her scream out

Sasha - Ah you vicious bitch!

Sasha punches Marie in the face and gets the knife

Sasha - See Winter, using a knife is not always such a good idea, it can be taken off you and the tables turned around on you

Marie - USE IT THEN, GO ON I DARE YA SWEETHEART

Sasha passes the knife on to Martha

Sasha - Look after that for me love

Martha - Yes Sasha

Marie - Too gutless to use it are you?

Sasha - I don't need a knife, knives are for cowards like you Winter

Sasha stares at Marie

Marie - So now what? Do we stand here and talk about the weather or carry on fighting?

Sasha suddenly goes at Marie and throws her to the floor, she gets on top of her and slams her head into the side of the shed

Sasha - I AM GOING TO TELL YOU THE WAY WE FIGHT AT WENTWORTH...WHEN I AGREE TO A FIGHT WITH SOMEONE AND WE HAVE MADE OUR TERMS CLEAR, THERE WILL BE NO LITTLE SURPRISES LIKE THE ONE YOU PULLED ON ME JUST NOW, JUST A CLEAN FAIR FIST FIGHT...HAVE YOU GOT THAT?

Marie refuses to answer so Sasha slams her head into the shed again, this time even harder

Sasha - I SAID HAVE YOU GOT THAT?

Marie - YES I'VE BLOODY GOT IT BITCH

Sasha - GOOD!

Sasha lets go

Marie is laying with blood pouring down the side of her face, she is out of breath

Sasha - Want to admit defeat or give up?

Marie (panting) - No way am I giving up, this fight ain't over yet

Marie tries to go for Sasha again in a weak attempt but is overpowered fast, punched in the stomach, and collapses to the floor

Sasha - Now are you ready to give up?

Marie nods her head weakly

Sasha - Wise choice....well ladies looks like I stay top dog doesn't it

Marie - For now perhaps, but we can have round two once I have recovered

Sasha laughs

Sasha - Sure Winter, anytime!

Judy arrives around the corner

Judy - The screws are coming!

Sasha - Ok ladies, move off and try to act as normal as possible

Katie arrives at her cell and takes a photo of a man out of her locker

She sits on the bed and looks at it

Katie - Darling, I will make that bitch pay for what she did to you, to us.....I swear I will

She kisses the photo and then lays down on the bed and hugs it close to her chest

She quietly cries

The women casually stroll away from the shed area as Meg and Vera arrive

Vera - What were you lot doing around here?

Sasha - Oh nothing Miss Bennett

Vera - Don't give me that Cartwright! If you're all hanging around here out of sight it can only mean you were up to something

Meg spots Marie and her bloody face

Meg - My god, what on earth happened to you Winter?

Vera looks at Marie

Vera - HAVE YOU WOMEN BEEN FIGHTING?

Silence

Meg - Answer Miss Bennetts question please ladies

Sasha - Of course, we haven't been fighting, we are far too civilized for that

Vera - Of course, you've been fighting, after all my years in this job, I recognize the signs. You can't pull the wool over my eyes

Meg - I agree with Miss Bennett, it was obvious something was going on and it has to be a fight

Martha - Miss Bennett, there was no fight there really wasn't

Meg - Then will someone please explain what exactly did happen? Winter got this way somehow didn't she, if it wasn't a fight then what?

Sasha - Marie decided to climb on top of the shed for a dare. Unfortunately for her, it all went wrong and she fell to the ground and injured herself

Meg - Is that what happened Winter?

Marie gives Sasha a filthy look before answering

Marie - Yeah...decided to act the fool didn't i

Vera - I don't buy it, I am still convinced there was a fight

Vera looks at Marie

Vera - Don't be afraid to tell the truth, Winter, you will be protected

Marie pauses a moment and almost looks tempted to lag. Eventually, she answers

Marie - It really was just like Sasha said Miss Bennett, I only have myself to blame for getting in such a mess

Meg - Come on let's get you to Sister Hall and have you checked over

Meg guides Marie away

Vera - The rest of you move off inside, rec time is over

Sasha - Yes Miss Bennett, come along gals

They all move off

Sasha walks along with Judy and Martha

Sasha - Thanks for taking the knife Marth

Martha - That's no bother, but I don't want to keep it!

Sasha - Don't worry, once we get back inside I will take it from you

Martha - What will you do with it after that?

Sasha - Dunno yet love

Judy - What the hell is all this about a knife?

Sasha - Winter decided to change the rules and pull a knife on me

Judy (horrified) - Oh my god, you could have been killed

Sasha - But I wasn't was I, I handled her perfectly fine

Judy - We need to dispose of that knife, we can't have it hanging around

Sasha - Relax Jude, I will take care of it don't worry

Judy - That bloody Marie, she has always been trouble

Sasha - Maybe after today she will learn a lesson. I beat her easily

Judy - I wouldn't count on it love, Winter isn't the type who learns from anything

Meg and Marie are with Sister Hall

Sister Hall is cleaning the wound

Marie - OUCH, THAT STINGS!

Sister Hall - I have to clean it up, there are specks of dirt in it

Marie - Well can't you bloody well be a bit more gentle about it?

Meg - Stop being such a wimp Winter. If you hadn't been messing around climbing the shed roof in the first place then none of this would have happened

Sister Hall - You will need to be bandaged up for a while

Marie - Terrific!

Vera arrives in the room, with a slight smirk

Vera -So, how is our patient then?

Marie - In pain that's how I am!

Sister Hall - It's a nasty wound, but she'll survive. Once I dress it nicely we can avoid any infections

Vera - Tell me, Sister, how do you think Winter got the injury? Did she fall or was she fighting?

Sister Hall - It's impossible for me to say on that I'm afraid

Vera- Pity, I was hoping to nail the women with a bit of evidence. I know there was a fight

Marie - There was no bloody fight, how many times must we tell you that

Vera - Tell me as many times as you like but I will never believe you. If I had some proof I'd have you all up on charges!

Marie - It must bother you that there is no proof then eh

Judy, Sasha, and Martha are in Martha and Judy's cell where Martha hands the knife over to Sasha

Sasha - Here it is Jude, look, a real beauty eh

Judy - Bloody hell, that's a nasty looking thing

Sasha - I will have to grill Winter about where she got this from at some point

Judy - Well just don't expect a straight answer, will you? Winter doesn't know how to tell the truth about anything

Sasha - Yes, well I had better dispose of this now, catch you both later

Sasha leaves the cell and Judy and Martha are left alone

Judy - Oh honey are you ok? I did tell you not to watch the fight, I felt it would be best for you if you didn't. But since you insisted on watching, I hope it wasn't too traumatic for you

Martha smiles and shakes her head

Martha - Actually I found it all rather exciting

Judy looks surprised

Judy - Exciting? Really, Martha, you did not strike me as the type to enjoy violence

Martha - Well I'm not usually, but it was nice to have some excitement for a change. I loved my Charlie and I had a lovely life on the outside. I was happy, but it was also very dull at times. I never thought I'd feel this way, but the dramas of prison life make a change from the dull normality of life outside

Judy - Well I never thought I'd hear you say that honey, you're one of the quiet ones

Martha is playful

Martha - You know what they say, Judy, it's the quiet ones you've got to watch

Judy laughs

Judy - Is that so?

Vera is walking along a corridor with Marie

Marie now has her head bandaged up

Marie - I feel like a bloody idiot walking along with this thing around my head

Vera -I hope you don't expect any sympathy from me Winter... you only have yourself to blame, if you are stupid enough to fight then this is what happens

Marie - Look we told you there was no fight...

Vera - Cartwright gave you a good hiding did she? I couldn't help but notice there wasn't a mark on her

Marie - Listen if I was to fight that bitch I would beat her easily

Vera - Would you though? She is so much younger and you are no spring chicken anymore

Marie - Yeah thanks...

They arrive at a gate

Vera - Remember what Sister Hall said, you must return daily to have the dressing changed

Marie - Yeah, how could I forget

Meg is with Bob in the office

Meg - So Vera and I both suspect a fight, but without evidence to back it up, there is little we can do. Sister Hall could not help

Bob - Hmm, I see, well we will keep an eye on them that's all we can do

Meg - Winter is always a cause of trouble, she must be watched at all times

Bob - Yes

Meg - If you ask me she really is Blackmoor material

Bob - Winter won't be going to Blackmoor

Meg - Why not? I really do not understand

Bob - Because I say so Mrs Morris, I do not expect to be questioned over my decisions in this way

Meg - Fair enough...

Bob - Anything else you need to say to me tonight?

Meg - Well yes, you may think this is stupid though

Bob - Go on...

Meg - Well seeing the shed today reminded me of when it was a shop. The shop really was a good idea, better than the buy-up system

Bob - I think I remember Kath telling me about it

Meg - Miss Bennett shut it down when she was governor. I think it should be reopened

Bob - Yes, maybe. It is something we can consider

Meg - Of course, we won't have Maxwell to run it now so there would need to be another Trustee. I was thinking Martha Conway might be a good choice

Bob - Yes I imagine so, she seems the ideal type for something like that

Meg - So you think it is a good idea then?

Bob - Yes I do. I never understood why Vera closed down the shop, I know it upset poor Kath a lot though. Well, we can think about it more in a few weeks. Right now I want to focus on the Restaurant. One project at a time

Meg nods her head

Meg - Yes I understand, I think Ann's problem was always trying to take on too much at once. Better to take on one thing at a time

Sasha is in the boiler room, looking at the knife

Sasha (to herself) - I'll just hang on to you I think, just in case you ever come in handy eh

She hides the knife

Eileen and Jonathan are leaving the restaurant. They are both drunk

Eileen - Well it's been a lovely evening. There is no better way I like to spend my evenings than with good food, good wine, and good company

Jonathan -I couldn't agree more. I eat here a lot because I know how superior the food is

They arrive out the front where a taxi is waiting

They get inside

Eileen - Being a rich bitch is super. being able to afford Taxi's all the time It means I can really let my hair down on nights out. Drink as much as I like and not have to worry

Jonathan - Have you thought about my proposal?

Eileen - Of course, I have John dear, I have hardly been able to think about much else all evening

Jonathan - Have you made a decision?

Eileen grins evilly

Eileen - Yes I have....the answers yes John. Yes, we will carry out the experiments at Blackmoor

Jonathan looks delighted

Jonathan - I knew you wouldn't let me down, Eileen

GATESLAM

PART 2

Exterior shot of Wentworth in daylight

The women are in the shower room

Hannah is by the sink combing her hair as Abigail arrives in the room

Abigail approaches and leans in to whisper

Abigail - I hope you have my money for me today, we will meet later and I expect to get it

Hannah - I said I'd get it didn't I and I have

Abigail - Good!

Lorraine has noticed them talking privately from where she is inside one of the showers. She looks suspicious

Bob has Eileen with him. They stand on the grounds to look at the construction site for the restaurant

Bob - I still can't believe this is happening sometimes Mrs Raymond, it's all so exciting

Eileen - I agree it's exciting. It's a worthy project

Bob - I'll be honest with you, I did think that you would say no to it. I did not think you agreed much with rehabilitation

Eileen - Oh well let's just say I enjoy a challenge or something different. Also, I had to consider the fact that this Restaurant will be a superb source of income for us Mr Moran. Anything that can make us money is of huge benefit

Bob looks unimpressed

Bob - Yes I see... well I am not in this for the profits, I am in it to help the prisoners with an opportunity to gain skills and employment upon their release

Eileen smiles

Eileen - I know and I am so very supportive of that too, but I am also delighted by the chance to make money

The dining room

Lorraine and Hannah are sitting together

Lorraine - I saw you talking to Freestone just now in the shower room

Hannah - So? I'm allowed to talk to people, aren't I?

Lorraine - Of course, but I'd be careful around her. She's obviously trouble. I am sure you could find some nicer friends

Hannah - Yeah well who says I am making friends with her anyway?

Lorraine - Well why else would you be talking to her?

Hannah shrugs

Hannah - Just passing the time of day I suppose

Marie is sitting alone as Sasha sits beside her

Sasha - All by yourself today Marie? Funny how your friends abandon you once they realize they are supporting a loser isn't it

Marie - What the hell do you want bitch?

Sasha - Well I had to see how you are this morning. You must have a bad headache?

Marie - I'm fine but thanks for your concern

Sasha -That bandage must be uncomfortable? I'd feel pretty embarrassed if I had to wear that thing around my head

Marie - It won't be for long

Sasha - I hope you have learned your lesson? No more trying to fight me?

Marie - Until the next time sure

Sasha - I mean anytime and you know it. You won't ever beat me

Marie - Was there anything else because you are putting me off my breakfast

Sasha - Yes, where did you get your knife from?

Marie - Well I'd really love to help ya with that one sweetheart, but I can't quite recall sadly. Must be that bang to the head giving me amnesia!

Sasha gives Marie a grave look

Sasha - Just make sure no more knives turn up ok?

Marie - Yeah, sure sweetheart

Sasha - I mean it, Winter, knives are a no-go. If I catch you with one again the consequences will be severe

Marie - Is that it now? I want to eat in peace

Sasha - Yes that's it....for now

Sasha moves off to join Judy and Martha
