To counteract the situation, I would advocate that... You are, Miss Hewitt,

lacking in actual practical experience.

I see no reason why my age should be held against me when applying for

Rank 3.

You're not married?

No, I'm divorced.

Do we have any further questions for Miss Hewitt?

Have you got any estimation of the damage?

It's catastrophic.

Three of the four accommodation wings are virtually demolished.

They've systematically smacked every bathroom, plumbing ripped from the wall,

water dripping down, and gas cylinders ignited to fuel the fire.

It's bloody tragic.

Thank you very much, Miss Hewitt.

across to home so we can't delay it any longer.

Did you tell her? What do you think?

She knows it was coming and the longer the delay, the worse it'll be.

Wait, wait.

Beryl, wait.

I wanted to be with her when she was told.

I waited, Helen.

She'll need supervision for a while. Did it go well? Right now, my prisoners are

displaying all the symptoms of an endemic drug culture.

When we began to move the inmates from their cells, the trouble spread.

It was now 2am.

More fires had started, some inside the cells, and the prisoners began the

rampage.

By 5 o 'clock, it was estimated that there were some 400 prisoners involved.

By 5 .30, the ambulances had taken all the casualties to the hospital wing.

And at 10, 10 o 'clock, the riot was under control.

Don't let them take her.

Come on, Tina. You knew this was going to have to happen. We've been preparing

for it.

Tina. She only knows me.

She's mine.

Of course she is.

But it's upsetting for everybody else.

You're just going to have to accept it, I'm afraid.

Tina. I know.

But not yet.

You can't take Karen yet.

I won't let her go.

I have asked for more officers to deal specifically with the influx of drugs.

But you instigated this personal lock -up method and the prisoners have keys.

Yes, only to their cell.

They couldn't leave the spur.

Obviously it doesn't work.

The press are assuming that your employees not only shop for groceries

inmates, but could have brought the drugs in as well.

Seen the Independent this morning?

We've had to segregate Tina.

She's causing problems.

Pity Mona wouldn't help out.

I don't think it would have been any good anyway.

It's riots causing us all.

Can I have a word?

It wasn't very convenient, your taking the morning off, especially with the

situation. In the future, give me more warning.

Keep your eye on her.

See you tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night, Claire.

Good night, Governor.

I was going days ago.

We got all the balloons.

Do you want to see what we got?

What are you talking about?

For Beryl. She's getting married Saturday.

The hen party's Thursday night.

She's got a second honours degree in psychology.

Played a substantial part in suicide awareness support.

We'll all be needing more than support.

Excellent result from the field.

She is very accomplished.

She's not married. Very dedicated.

She's still very young.

Even so, she spent two years in the US studying their penal system.

No, I think she is a very good candidate to put on the investigation team.

Hmm.

Good to have one woman.

I might as well come straight to the point.

There's to be a full -scale investigation into the riot and into the

death of the prisoner Michael Winchwood.

As part of your studies, you are...

I note from your records, familiar with prison suicide awareness.

I would therefore like you to agree to be part of the investigation team, Miss

Hewitt.

Come on.

Helen Hewitt!

I've been trying to contact you.

We have a problem.

Tina's tried to kill herself.

What did you say?

Tina's tried to kill herself.

OK, listen. Listen, just... Just try and keep her calm and I'll be right there.

Are you coming in? Yes, now!

We slated her.

She cut both wrists.

She seemed to accept it.

But then next minute she went into association.

She did it with Dory Rigby's

glasses.

I'm sorry I wouldn't hear, Tina.

Did you hear what I said?

Aye.

I said to myself, if they take her, really take her, then I'll kill myself.

As soon as I'd made my mind up, I could sleep.

Like I'd made the right decision.

I knew she'd gone.

I'm really sorry I wasn't here.

It's all right, Miss Hewitt.

It was funny.

I got that fat girl's glasses.

You know her, Doreen.

Anyway, I nicked her glasses. I planned it. They took me baby so I had nobody

else. The bloody things I wouldn't break.

I trod on them. I jumped on them. And I could barely break the skin, never mind

kill myself.

It was ridiculous.

And I started laughing.

I

just

want to know why, after I left specific instructions, why nobody took the time

to sit with her, to stay with her.

Do you know what she actually did?

She couldn't smash the glass.

So she broke one of the arms and tried to gouge out the veins in her arm.

We had three new admissions today.

That is no excuse. What about one of the probation officers? Any one of the

officers? I am short -staffed as it is, and the last thing I needed was my

deputy disappearing.

So it's my fault.

Nobody is directing blame at anybody, Helen.

Oh, I am.

I am saying that we are to blame.

And I am saying you should not have taken time out without consulting me.

I understand you've been asked to be a part of the investigation team looking

into the riots at Barfield Prison.

I think it'll be very good for you.

But a word of advice.

Just look and listen.

Don't run before you can walk, or you'll fall down right on top of your

ambition.

Thanks for your advice, Captain.

Congratulations.

Hewitt, sir.

Sorry I'm very late.

Gary Marshall, the Deputy Governor.

Would you like some coffee?

No, I think we should join the others. Is everyone here?

Yes, they're all here.

I've been instructed to take you on a tour.

We'll catch the others up later.

As you said, you're very late.

There's a lot of mess in here, so be careful.

I don't want to rush you, but, um... Are

these inmates?

No, contractors.

There's about 20 men allocated to clear this place out as fast as possible.

Private contractors?

Yeah. They're dumping the rubble in the exercise yard for the moment.

So the men held here now have no exercise, are they?

From what I've gathered, there were major drug problems.

No more than any other prison at this point.

All right, everyone.

Lunch, I think. Tell Miss... Hewitt, sir.

Hewitt to carry on.

Where's the governor?

The governor's in his

office. Now, I told him you were still showing her around.

But it's just that Arnie Franks is creating a bit. The usual only is

very at all.

Look, when she's through here, buzz me, I'll collect her and weed her out. Where

are the others?

Not back from lunch.

Bit young, isn't she, Gary?

And a knoll.

Blood a universe at the eye flyer.

Four years I waited for governor three, and I've just heard that she's been

promoted to it first time.

Bloody stupid.

Now, look, I'll sort Arnie out. You just keep her busy.

Blimey, I didn't realise you had him there.

Yeah, and he's not a happy man.

We got a formal complaint after Winchwood.

Doesn't feel safe with a murderer on the loose.

Considering he's a mass killer, he's got a bloody nerve.

Does he reckon Winchwood was murdered?

No. Winchwood was just a spark that started the riot.

So have you got all the ringleaders, then? Yeah, we got them.

In fact, they were the problem. We tried to get them out without a row and all

hell broke loose.

They're not our problem any more. They've been shipped out.

So, is Governor Langham going to be shafted?

I wouldn't know.

Tell me some more about Winchwood.

I presume with his record he'd be a vulnerable prisoner. So, was he

Will Marshall be taken over if Langham retires?

That'll be up to headquarters.

Could you take me to Mr Marshall, please?

See if you can calm him down. If not, get back to me. Grobbler.

Oh, excuse me. I was just waiting for Mr Marshall.

I'm Brian Langham.

Helen Hewitt, part of the investigation team.

I have to uproot my wife, my kids from their school.

I think I'm still in shock.

The riot was bad enough, but they really pulled the rug from under me.

Enforced retirement.

Or somebody had to be the scapegoat, I suppose.

I'm sorry.

Can I ask you something?

Michael Winswood.

It's been put out it was suicide.

We won't get verification until the autopsy reports have finalised.

Yes? You'd better come on the VP wing, sir.

I'll be right down.

I'm sorry, I have to go to the VP wing.

Do you mind if I come along?

This is very dangerous.

He's also mentally subnormal and as strong as an ox.

And very active, sexually.

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Is that Winswood, sir?

Not any more, ma 'am.

So, then, will you get Miss Hewitt out for safety?

Get her out!

Good luck.

Winchwood Cell?

They're coming in now. They want to see Winchwood Cell.

Right! Back to yourselves!

Come on, move it!

Judge Simp, Miss Hewitt has just arrived.

Not just that. I've been on a guided tour.

Miss Hewitt?

Are these the governors that can just swallow Hartington and Little John?

Are we to wait for Mr Langan?

Hello, Norman.

Have you been taking notes?

He barks out to the secretaries that I've made mail. Ah, Governor Langham.

Right, gentlemen, I've asked to see Winchwood's cell.

If we could cut the chit -chat.

It's this way.

Which one's the psychologist?

The nervous one.

With a twitch.

Don't touch anything inside the cell.

Do you want to go inside?

I don't think it will be necessary for all of us to go in.

Get yourselves a coffee and grab a chair.

Ah, Miss Hewitt. Have you had a moment to study the file?

No, I've only just been given it.

I want to start the discussion straight away.

As you can see, prison services have supplied a scale model of Barfield

the relationship of the various wings.

Mr. Ettinger, do you feel that the governor in charge, Mr. Langham, is

any disciplinary action? Please keep your answer short and to the point.

Well, to be quite honest... That is the point.

Yes?

Well, I do think there's some time discrepancy in the statements of several

the officers.

In particular, O 'Keefe, Duggan, Jensen, Smith

and Mallard.

Yet all these stated that A -Wing, that is, the VP -Wing, was, at the time of

the first fire, locked.

Yes, continue.

Well, if you take into consideration the victim's injuries,

he could have been attacked.

But it has not been verified by the police that Michael Winchwood was

To the contrary.

We must accept that the wounds were self -inflicted. Yes, but, sir... His right

and left wrist artery, throat, frontal and two chest wounds.

Excessive, I'd agree.

Well, Winchwood, according to the medical reports, also received extensive

bruising. But these have not been proved to be inflicted on the night of the

riot. They were, in fact... Do you have the medical report from his previous

prison? Winchwood arrived at... Barfield from Hull, two weeks prior to the riot,

with bruising to his abdomen, back and buttocks.

I think we must move on from the Winchwood injuries, as I said, until we

verification that it was suicide, and not, for want of a better word, murder.

I am uppermost interested in finding out how and why this riot occurred and

where the blame is to be directed.

Miss Hewitt...

I would appreciate it if you read the file in your own time. Please pay

attention to the discussion.

Is the judge going in his own car or with us?

I can't hear.

Could you get social services to make a set of photographs of Tina's baby?

Because I'm asking you to, Enid. If necessary, I'll pay for them myself.

The gnome ringleaders have been named and are being dispersed.

However... As there are more than 150 prisoners all admitting to taking part

the riot, it would be a time -consuming and financially punitive undertaking to

review each man's sentence.

Now, that being said, I think in time the ringleaders must be publicly named

their sentences adjusted accordingly.

Governor Langham has agreed to take another retirement.

And no disciplinary action will be taken against any of Barfield's officers.

The Home Office pathology report is being sent by courier. It is determined

Michael Winchwood committed suicide.

Suicide. It's now been made public. It is a complete bloody whitewash.

Not entirely. Brian Langham's lost his job.

Only one report adds... Here it is.

Detectives conducting the inquiry had previously thought it was impossible for

man to sustain such injury. If you had anything to say about it, you've missed

your opportunity.

I took your advice. I looked, I listened, I said nothing.

But I wish I had.

If Michael Winchard killed himself, he was a bloody contortionist.

A moment.

Mr. Bonney, Barfield's area manager. You've met him? Yes.

He just called to offer me Barfield Prison.

You're going to take it?

Does that mean I... Does that mean I run capture? I turned it down.

He asked me about your operational experience in male prisons.

Me?

The governor?

Are you serious?

Did he say there was a possibility?

Sorry to interrupt, but the photos of Tina's baby have arrived.

Enid said you were going to pay for them.

What? Oh, yes, yes, I did.

Apparently you said it was urgent. Right, right, I'll do it.

You have two adjudications, Mrs Redwood.

Thank you, Joyce.

Hmm.

You don't think they'll offer her barfield, do you? I have a nasty feeling

might. Right.

We want the new governor settled and primed before we announce it to the

and in particular to the press.

Thank you.

We're taking a big chance.

Risk, more like it.

Why, don't you think?

I think the risk is minimal.

We should have 200 prison officers to look after 88 men.

It's a strong academically practical experience.

If she works out, she can stay on.

If not, well, there's a possibility that the prison will be recategorised and

someone of a higher rank will automatically take over.

You're right.

It's a good choice.

The press will love her.

She fitted in very well on the investigation team.

Knows how to keep her mouth shut.

So it's agreed.

Helen Hewitt will be the new governor of Barfield.

Congratulations.

I presumed I'd be taken over.

They at least had the decency to let me know.

I'm sorry.

But as my deputy, Gary, I'm going to need all the backup I can get.

You'll have it.

Do you want coffee?

I'm sorry, I don't know your name.

Maybe so, Colonel and Secretary.

Good.

Nice to meet you. Nice to know I'm not alone.

This is Miss Helen Hewitt -Mavis, the new governor.

I like my coffee black and in a china mug.

Do you have a percolator?

Yeah, I think so.

It's Amaretto coffee. I got you through as an update.

Are we computerized here?

Pardon?

Other staff files on computer?

No. Not all of them.

Right, we'll have to get that sorted out. Thank you, Mavis.

What's this?

Michael Winchwood's family are not too happy with the findings of the

investigation results.

What?

I referred them to the prison authorities.

Did you?

Do you want my honest opinion?

I don't think it was suicide.

I don't believe Winchwood committed suicide.

Just stick to the same stories, OK?

Agreed?

It'll be all right. She can't prove anything, country.

Not if we make sure of it, no.

Where's the ladies?

You go to the end of the corridor, first right, past the lift, and it's at the

bottom of the stairs at the end of the second corridor.

You'll need a key.

I haven't got the time to walk half a mile if I need a piece.

We'll make this one the ladies.

Got you working hard, has she, Mavis?

I can say that again.

You know this toilet?

Can you get maintenance to fix up a proper ladies' only notice on the door?

Oh, yeah, Michael Winchwood's family will need visiting orders for tomorrow.

They're coming here.

Oh, I want that replumbed and a shower unit put in.

Right, where's the cinema?

Here she comes.

A

bit

of respect.

Morning.

Thank you.

First of all, can I say how pleased I am to be here as the new governor of

Barfield.

There are three things that are probably worrying you about my appointment.

One, that I'm a woman.

Two, my age.

And three, am I going to stay?

Well, the first two I can do nothing about.

But with regards to the third, let me tell you that I am staying.

As you must all be aware, the rebuilding of Barfield will continue.

Our priority during this period will be security, but we are in the enviable

position of having only 88 inmates and enough officers to control 400.

I intend to take a harsh line with any inmate attempting to create further

disturbances whilst Barfield undergoes refurbishment.

I will put my intentions in writing on the bulletin board, and I ask each of

to give me every assistance in establishing a new regime.

My first order, as from today, is to withdraw all inmates' personal cell

What? Thank you.

I look forward to working with you all and getting to know each of you on a

personal basis.

If any of you now have any complaints or queries, please feel free to voice

them.

Thank you very much.

I know, I know.

...or passed on any narcotic substances, blah, blah, blah. As from now, every

man and woman coming into this prison must be willing to be searched, and that

includes all DAF members.

My intention and priority is to clear Barfield Prisoner drugs.

She also wants every cell and inmate strip searched, as from 11 .30 tomorrow

morning.

Right, let me strip search!

are very edgy about the landing being searched.

If there are drugs in this prison, Gary, then I'm going to find them, and I'm

going to find out who's bringing them in.

Morning. Morning, Mum.

Do you ever think that maybe, just maybe, it could be the prisoners?

What are you telling me, that the prisoners are going out, they're

they're scoring, and they're bringing it back in again?

I meant they're visiting.

Ah, visiting, right.

That's when tomorrow they will be reinstated.

In a way, very heavy with security.

And we need to get back to the basics of security.

Any visitor discovered passing or bringing in drugs will have their visit

curtailed and further visits reviewed, possibly facing criminal charges.

I'm warning you. And I'm warning you, because I have not finished. I have only

just started, Mr Morgan.

Well?

Good morning. It's Mr Leighton, isn't it? Good morning.

This is the new governor, Miss Hewitt.

Good morning, Miss Hewitt. Pleased to meet you. How do you do?

the VP wing tomorrow morning.

Yes. Mr and Mrs Winchwood, plus a Norman Sewell, and I have two girls from the

Kent agency waiting to be interviewed in the furniture removal firm of Cold

Swine. Tell the Winchwoods to send in one girl at a time. Give them five

each and maybe call an agency, get them to clean my flat, anything. It is a

complete mess. And tell the removal company I'm missing two crates.

I'm sorry, Gary, you're going to have to excuse me. Don't you want me in on a

Winchwood meeting? No.

Mavis?

Has HQ called her about the Winswood visit?

I don't think so.

You have Farah Green.

Roy Sanders speaking.

Just find out what the Winswoods want and then get back to me as soon as you

can. No.

Get Miss Hewitt to contact me.

It's a word -perfect programme.

Good.

Mind you, probably with the amount of staff references, it'd be best to have

Windows programme on disk as well.

Does it worry you working in a prison, even just temporarily?

No, why should it?

They're not running the offices, are they?

I don't know about that.

Thank you very much for coming in. I'll call your agency.

Thanks for seeing me.

Send in Mr and Mrs Winterwood. Who's the man with them?

I don't know.

Ask Mavis and all will be divulged.

And the last girl, if her details check out and she's OK with security, give her

the job.

That one?

There were only two, Mavis.

Oh, and ask her to wear a longer skirt.

Oh, Mavis, did you get someone to clean my flat?

Mr and Mrs Henry Wingswood and their legal advisor, Mr Norman Fuel.

Please, do come in.

I do apologise for the state of my office.

Coffee, Mavis. Please, sit down.

Thank you.

We wish to see you with regard to the police investigation into our son's

We're very disappointed.

No arrest has been made, and yet everybody concerned in this tragic

that Michael died in what can only be described as a horrific, violent and

disgusting manner.

He was prepared to do his sentence, serve his punishment.

He should have been protected from the other inmates and from himself.

Michael was, as you must have been aware, due to the type of crimes he had

committed, segregated from the main prison wing.

Mr and Mrs Winchwood have asked me to undertake a private civil action against

Barfield Prison, citing gross negligence to blame for the death of their son,

Michael.

Did Michael ever mention any particular prisoner who made threats?

Not at his first prison, but here at Barfield?

No.

You must understand, even though...

Every precaution is taken to protect sex offenders, particularly child sex

offenders, and in Michael's case, a brutal child murder.

There's no need for this, Miss Hewitt. I am, Mr. Sewell, simply stating facts

and the problems that we have with men on Rule 43 within a prison of this size.

You see, they're not all sex offenders.

Some are in debt and...

scared to be on the main prison wings.

Others are mentally vulnerable.

And there was a full -scale police inquiry and an investigation by the

prison authorities into Michael's death.

Investigation or cover -up?

Have you seen the medical reports?

There was, to my knowledge, no cover -up, Mr Jewel. None whatsoever, thank

Mavis.

Black or white, Mrs Winchwood?

What's going on?

She said there was no cover -up. None whatsoever.

Would you drop the civil action if I personally undertake an investigation

your son's death?

All I want is justice.

I shall see that you get it, Mr...

I'm the new governor.

I'm afraid Mr Langham isn't here anymore.

I know they've told me.

You've requested a visiting order.

There you are.

All you have to do is fill in the form.

It is what you wanted, isn't it?

Morning, miss.

Morning.

How long has Arnie Frank been on all this medication?

I haven't got a clue.

He's just been brought back on a limb from the hospital.

He should be in broad mode, not in here. I don't know what gets him going.

You should try and find out.

These men are in your care.

It does help if you know or are aware of what affects them.

I'll speak to Dr Thomas.

Hey. That form you gave him, he's eaten it.

Perhaps it's preferable to that congealed mix we call breakfast.

See if you can get him from Exeter today.

You say so.

You weren't on duty the night Michael Winchwood died.

No, I was called in for the riot. We all were.

How did you get on with it? I didn't.

It's, um, Mr Jackson, isn't it?

Yes.

What's your first name?

Curtis.

Well, Curtis, I worked very hard for the title governor.

Please use it.

Stop panicking. Just as long as she's not talking to those two bastards.

Gregory Collier.

Come on.

Good morning, Gregory.

Good morning, Miss.

Welcome to my billet.

Did they tell you about my boo situation?

Mr. Langham always saw to it personally.

Oh.

I never cheat.

Never stick a few together.

Always one at a time.

Perfectionist me.

Very, very impressive.

You were on the same landing as... Michael Winchwood, yes. That is correct,

Miss. But it's imperative that I get me glue.

Now, I know the problem, I know.

I have, swear, on the Bible, never been under the influences.

It's too precious a substance to me. You understand, Miss?

I know about your request, Gregory. I'll see that you get your glue.

Oh, God bless you.

I've not been able to sleep.

Where were you on the night that Michael Winchwood attempted suicide?

Out for the count.

Every sleeper, miss.

Did you ever hear anyone make any threats against him? Did you talk to

Me? Who, me?

I'm a special.

I used to be segregated for my own safety.

I still don't ever see nobody.

Thank you, Gregory.

I miss the music, though.

Winchwood played nice music.

Opera.

What is it for?

Yeah? Oh, well, he's still got his hobby.

Michael Winchwood have a hobby?

Oh, yeah.

Making our life bloody difficult.

Is this really all we got from the cells?

They're tossing it.

They're just flinging it out of the windows.

No matter how decent the cell, own toilet, etc., they still have to chuck

shit out the window.

Not just the type you smoke.

Thank you, Mr O 'Keefe.

Homebrew from the floppy buckets.

Disgusting.

I'd say this is about all we're likely to get.

Hmm.

Is there any way that any prisoner from B -Wing can transfer goods from one

division to another?

Other than just throwing it out the window.

Yeah.

They tie it with a bit of dental floss and swallow it. I mean, what do you want

us to do, get X -ray units in here next?

They stuff it in their ears, stuff it up their nose, stuff it up their ass.

Thank you.

I still want another search.

This time we'll go in at night when they're not expecting it.

I want all prisoners out of their cells, that is, all non -VP prisoners.

What? No way.

At this moment?

Tension is way out of hand. Right, so we'll give them something to take their

minds off the tension.

In my office, please, Gary.

Do you want him to speak to Dr Thomas while these are his surgery and home

numbers?

Fine, thank you. See if he's free for lunch.

Have you ever heard a caution?

You've only dealt with women.

Let me tell you, these men here are ready to blow.

They're already uptight over losing their Selkie privileges, and you can't

pushing prisoners like Murphy and Jellins.

When did these men last have a movie?

I don't know. Before the riots.

Right, so we'll give them a movie night.

And, Gary, in future, will you please remember that I am the governor here,

you?

What do you want, Aladdin?

I want them to see the movie voluntarily, Gary.

All right. We'll give them Sharon Stone in, eh?

That'll do fine.

And could you tell Officer O 'Keefe I'd like to speak to him this morning?

I'll be in the gymnasium in ten minutes.

Could

you

tell me about the night of the riot, exactly where you were and what

you had with the prisoners?

We've all given statements to the police.

It's the investigation team.

Yes, I know, so it shouldn't be too difficult to recall your movements that

night, should it?

I did the lock -up checks on B wing about 7 .30, and I checked all the open

areas, that's in here.

Cinema, the laundry, then I went to the canteen. Alone?

No. Tom Duggan was with me, Russell Morgan, and I think Jensen.

Jensen, Smith and Mellard.

Yes, go on.

Had a cup of coffee and a sandwich, then maybe about half -eight, I went to do

the BP wing.

Where Michael Winch would look out.

Yes.

Alone? Yeah, he was segregated.

No. Were you alone?

No. Tom Duggan was with me. This is all in the report book, you know.

Yes, I know.

Do go on.

We checked Winsford. We had a few threats against him, so we were keeping

under supervision.

A few threats?

Would you care to elaborate?

Well, we always get in with child molesters.

Sex offenders, it's part of the norm.

I am aware of that.

But which prisoners did you know or were aware had made threats against Michael

Winswood? Most of them at some time or other.

But on the night in question, two prisoners, Murphy and Jellings, became

excessively violent.

Do you think they could have had anything to do with Michael Winswood's

No, I don't.

You and Officer Duggan were instigating lock -up when the fire broke out?

Yes. Were all the prisoners locked in their cells?

Yes.

Including Ben and Bart?

Yes.

Could you ask Officer Duggan to see if my office is in place?

Yes,

Governor.

Maybe it's if Officer Duggan is there. Can you send him in, please?

On the night of the riots, you have stated that all prisoners on the VP wing

were locked up when the fire started.

Yeah, that's right.

On that night, Vernon Black was in the VP wing.

Yes, but he's subsequently been transferred to Sea Wing.

After the fire?

Yes. So he's not a vulnerable prisoner?

Not any more.

I think he owed money. They're not all sex offenders.

I do know that, Mr Duggan.

I'm simply making sure that Vernon Black was, on the night of the fire, locked

in his cell.

The reason must be obvious.

Sorry?

Vernon Black is an orphanage.

And according to the fire team's findings, the first fire began in the

area of the VP wing.

Well, he must have been questioned.

Yes, he was.

You're here for five years and you've done... 18 months.

Transferred from Leeds.

Did you prefer it there?

It was easier for no other to see me there.

Why are you in the VP wing, Mr Black?

I owed Murphy a few quiff phone cards.

I had to wait for a visit before I could pay him back.

Have you paid him back now?

Yes, ma 'am.

Thank you very much, Mr Black.

It's OK.

Okay.

Oh, Emily.

Oh, hi.

Can I get you another?

No, thank you. A usual for me, Don.

Do you mind if we go to the table? I sit at the bar and it's... Sure.

Do I call you governor?

Helen. Thank you very much.

Thanks.

Lovely.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Cheers.

Was Michael Winchwood suicidal?

I don't know.

I've looked over his records, obviously.

My predecessor didn't, if you think so.

Or he would have made a note of it.

Is this tuna?

Quite possibly.

You ever worked in a prison before?

No.

But you must be aware of our present problems with narcotics.

Well, of course I'm aware, but until the government or the Home Office admit

that it's a problem... As far as I can ascertain, it's turned a blind eye if it

keeps them quiet.

Not any longer.

Any prisoner discovered drinking drugs will get an extra 28 days on exempt and

solitary confinement and loss of privileges.

Possession and drug trafficking is illegal and mandatory drug tests will

a regular procedure.

Here we go, drinking dogs inside our pads again.

And I'll have her. You hear me?

Listen, all the men are on our side.

They're targeting anything on us.

We'll start later. Let him ride, lads. Hey, bitch.

Anybody having a go at it? It's me, K -Sauce Burnley.

Have you heard?

We've got a film show. It's that one with Sharon Stone showing it.

Burnley, K -Sauce, come on, get out of it. Give me a towel.

All right.

Don't tell us.

Hey, O 'Keefe.

It's the Admiral, sir. On the level, Murphy.

Sharon Stone?

You lying bastard.

Not in person, Murphy.

Come on, you've been in here over your time.

Are you having a problem with that?

Or are you shitting yourself because Winchwood's parents came here?

Look,

Miss... Helen, I'm a doctor.

I don't know anything about running a prison and I don't take any sides.

I just do my job when I'm called out.

And I intend to do my job and rid Barfield of drugs.

Well, I'll give you every assistance I can. Then you're going to need it.

Thanks.

Listen, maybe we could... Excuse me. Excuse me. Maybe we could meet again and

discuss drug rehabilitation.

Sure, you know I am. All you need to do is call.

Dawn, are you OK if I use the phone?

I could arrange for you to meet the local rehab centre's administrator.

Oh, brilliant.

And perhaps we could also instigate some sessions inside the prison. And, um...

Are you free for dinner? I'm on your side, monsieur.

It's up to Thomas.

So, what do you think of the food here?

It's okay.

But you work out, though, don't you? Do you think you get enough protein?

Yeah, I get an extra.

You get it brought in?

Yeah. We all do.

Those that can afford it.

Not telling tales.

It was even in the papers.

Do you smoke?

No.

So you're the new governor, then.

My, my, my.

Whose face did you sit on?

I didn't hear that.

What other perks do you get?

On the night of the riot, Mr Murphy, could you tell me what happened?

You were bull dyke then?

What did you say?

You were dyke. Am I a what?

Lesbian.

You and I.

That's why you got the job.

Act like a man.

You were dyke.

The night of the riot, Mr Murphy, answer the question.

Banged up as usual.

Then the fire started.

They unlocked our spurs.

Held us over in the quad.

That's it.

What time were you taken out of lock -up?

I don't know.

My watch stopped.

Prisoner 493, Anthony Murphy, became violent and abusive. That was at 8 .30,

Murphy. Is that correct?

I don't know.

My watch stopped.

Do you know Michael Winchwood? No.

But you knew who he was?

Yeah, we knew he was here.

What did you think of him?

He raped and tortured two little girls aged nine and seven.

He buggered an eight -year -old boy, then buried him.

So why don't you tell me what you think about him?

Did you ever threaten him?

Personally, no.

You didn't?

You must be the only man here who didn't.

Part of the course, isn't it?

Perverted, twisted animal.

All nonsense should be castrated.

So you did threaten him?

You're putting words into my mouth, love.

I never said I did, and I never said I didn't.

He topped himself.

Saves a lot of aggravation.

Saves the government a lot of cash.

Cost a grand a week to keep a filth like him segregated.

Costs almost as much to keep you too, Mr. Murphy.

You're new to this job, aren't you?

Otherwise you wouldn't bother wasting your time with shits like Winchwood.

What time's this movie starting then?

Mr. Murphy, I will treat you with respect as long as you apply the same

me. When I interview you again, one.

Just one sexual innuendo, and I will take it personally.

I am the governor of this Britain. You will stand up when I enter your cell and

when I leave.

Now, is that clear?

Thank you, Miss Corbyn.

How can it wait out?

They get to know everything that's bloody going on. As long as we stick to

we've said throughout, nothing can happen.

And the rate of Wonder Woman's going on, she won't last out of the week.

First we lock up the BP straight away.

Choose a small number of officers to do the strip searches.

Use as few as possible, because we'll need all the officers for the cinema.

C -wing is priority, then D -wing.

We've got to keep them in the cinema as long as possible.

We've got a good two hours to do the strip search.

I don't think she has any idea what she's bloody doing. What if they don't

to see the movie?

What Sharon's done?

Are you kidding?

Maybe she's not the pushover we thought.

There is such a thing as being over -loyal.

That's supposed to break.

I'm not involved in this, and you don't have to be.

You better tell her before she finds out.

Almost got a full house.

These are the no -shows.

Well, let's hope Sharon's him of them down.

I wouldn't bank on it. It's Mr Andrews from Prison Services.

No, no, he's here.

Oh, boy, that's what I call timing.

What are we doing? Waiting on all the 15, Mum. Hurry them along.

There you go.

Evening, sir. We're all ready to go. There you go.

Got 17 men.

All of them, after today's business, very edgy.

We've got every officer on duty.

That's day and night stuff.

You think she's just out of her depth?

I'd say she's drowning.

Joke. Just a joke.

Seriously, it should be okay.

Has

Gary

given you an update?

Right, as soon as the men are in the cinema, let me know.

Mr and Mrs Winchwood have informed me that you've instigated a new

into the death of their son.

Is that correct, Monsieur?

I

do

not believe that Michael Winchwood committed suicide.

but that he was physically attacked.

I am not sure which of the officers were involved, but I think they were

prepared to turn a blind eye as long as Michael Winchwood only got a severe

beating and it got out of hand.

Do you have any evidence to substantiate what you've just said?

Or is it all supposition?

I suggest you come to the cinema immediately.

Go on. Go on.

Tenazaban sleeping tablets.

The prisoners on prescribed tabs store them, especially these.

Crush them and mainline them.

They're using their own kettles to clean needles.

We found three so far.

to get someone to take you home. No, I'll be fine, really. I'm fine.

Well, I made a really big fool of myself.

What we all had at one time.

Made a fool of ourselves.

The discovery of drugs was very good, but when the film finishes, there's

to be trouble. Fortunately, we've got enough prison officers to handle it.

So, go home, Ellen.

We're all at your disposal whenever it is.

to a business.

No.

Put the light behind you.

She misses you.

Yeah, I didn't think you'd still be here.

Catching up with paperwork.

My youngest has been ill.

She's better now.

I just popped up to see Gina. She's inside too.

She seems to be coming to terms with everything.

Has everything at Barfield?

Completely out of control.

I made a very big fool of myself tonight.

Right in front of the operational director.

I'm sorry.

You're very nice, Beth, actually.

There's been a lot of resentment about my appointment.

Well, that was expected, wasn't it?

Since my divorce, you know, my job, it's everything to me.

Barfield with the ultimate prize.

It isn't a prize, Helen. It's a tough and thankless job.

I could have pre -warned you, but you wouldn't have listened.

I didn't think it would be quite so, um... lonely.

Well, it is.

So use me, Helen.

Talk to me.

I've lost my confidence.

I don't think I can finish what I started.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do this. I've got nobody else to

talk to.

You know, when I was a kid, I always used to talk to my dad.

Be somebody on the farm, he'd give me a really big hug and he'd say, come on,

let's spit it out.

He was a really, um, big man.

I mean, um,

he's a heart.

I want to jump and be like my dad, but he wasn't.

I don't know why I'm telling you this crap.

You're not going to quit, are you?

I feel like it.

Michael Winchford didn't commit suicide. He was murdered.

But look at his case history and read what he actually did.

And the men are right. It was a disgusting piece of humanity. And I

everything he deserved. And why should I bother?

If you believe there's been any injustice, any cover -up of Barfield

it's your job to prove it.

You be angry and get to the truth.

Do you

know

why they gave me Barfield?

I think when the prison is refurbished, the category will possibly be changed,

which would mean you are not of high enough rank and... I'd be replaced.

It's just the position.

I may be wrong, but it's going to cost millions to put that prison back in

order. Oh, bastards.

And Marshall, my bloody deputy, do you think he knows?

I think it's common knowledge, Helen.

That's why I turned it down.

So I'm just a caretaker.

lot more than that.

And I shall prove it.

I'm going to see this thing through and then just let them try and shift me.

It's over. Are you coming in with us?

Are you coming in with us?

Are you coming in with us? Are you coming in with us?

Are you coming in with us?

Are you coming in with

us?

Nobody goes into that bloody wheel until I say so.

Don't you think it's until I say so?

The big riot.

You. Back to your cell.

What are you doing?

Tell every man I want every cell back in order by the time I do my morning

rounds.

Yes, ma 'am.

Lock up!

Lock up!

Lock up!

Lock up!

Good morning.

Thanks for calling me, why did you?

This isn't Tales Out of School, right?

I don't think the cons should have been allowed such privileges.

They could lock us out, they could do whatever they wanted then.

You were right to withdraw Selkie, that's all.

And that's why you tipped me off?

Ma 'am, talk to Vernon Black.

He's also a junkie, and with nothing on the wing, he'll make it in effect.

He might just talk to you.

About what?

Michael Winfrey.

He gave me a shock.

I was just checking Winchwood's belongings. His parents want them.

Did you want them?

Officer Duggan said you wanted to see Vernon Black.

He's in metal work.

He's got the shakes.

You won't get any sense out of him.

Could you wait a minute?

Over there, please.

On the night of the riot, Vernon, you told me you were on the VP way.

And when the fire started, you were locked in your cell.

Yeah.

You are serving a prison sentence for arson, aren't you?

Yeah.

Did you begin one of the fires the night Winchwood was killed?

Officer Duggan, would you wait over there?

What's the matter with you, Vernon? Are you sick?

Are you running a temperature? What's the matter with you, Vernon?

I don't know anything.

But I might.

I want to go back closer to where my mum can visit me.

It'd help me to remember.

Don't play games with me, Vernon.

I am not here to make deals with you.

When was your last visit?

It's been over a month.

So you lied to me.

You told me you were on the VP wing because you owed money, which you were

to pay back after your last visit. Now I am asking you again. On the night of

the fire, were you locked in your cell?

On the night Winchwood died, did you see anything?

Did you hear anything?

Take him back to his cell. He shouldn't be in metal work in his condition.

Michael Winchwood had a radio CD player and it's not in his cell. Do you know

where it is?

He didn't have one, did he? He must have had one. There were two CDs in his

cell.

Get me Prisoner's Possession List, C -Wing.

Know anything about Winchwood's CD player?

The governor wants all C. Winsley mates' possessions lists.

Shit. Did Vernon Black put that on his bloody list? I don't know.

Don't bite the wrong horse, Gary.

She's getting closer.

Ah, do you recall what make it was, Mr. Winchwood?

Yep.

Yep.

And any of the CDs that Michael might have had.

Oh, that's wonderful.

I need to talk to you. Not now. When?

I don't know, Gary.

I'm sorry, what was that?

Serial number LP249.

Thank you very much indeed, Mr. Edgeford.

Come on, breathe.

Breathe, come on.

Come on.

It's okay, Vernon.

It's okay, Vernon.

Come on.

Come on.

It's okay, Vernon.

It's okay, we're here.

Come on.

Did he take something? Who did this to him?

Come on.

Come on, Gary.

This is ridiculous. You know this.

Every prisoner must list his personal possessions. This is a bloody CD player

and it is not on Vernon Black's list of possessions. It never was on his list

because you know and I know it was Michael Winchwood's.

Now, you were part of that strip search, so who is covering up for who?

I'm not covering up for anybody.

Somebody is. At least admit you'll know that.

No, I don't know that.

You are aware by now that there could be a murder inquiry.

This is your opportunity to come clean with me, Gary.

I have nothing to hide.

Good.

In the meantime, I want a list of names of every single officer on that group

search. I want the names of every officer by Vernon Blackstone before he

beaten. Beaten?

Beaten. He was also an arsonist. And if I find out that he was not on his cell

the night of the riot, then he will be a witness.

Plot thickens, with me?

Good night.

the list of who was on duty at sea.

Right there.

You're not going to black...

I talk to you and you'll kill me.

Murphy and Jennings will kill me.

Who are you more afraid of, Vernon?

Murphy and Jennings or certain prison officers?

I fell down to tears.

I can't protect you unless you tell me who you're afraid of.

Just tell me the truth, Vernon, and no one will hurt you.

I saw it.

It isn't the way you think. We can explain.

I just... We want to talk to you.

Please.

Cigarette. Why don't you smoke?

Michael Winchwood used to taunt us.

Taunt the other prisoners.

He's been made out to be some kind of victim, but in reality the man was a

perverted, twisted bastard.

He wasn't like the other segregated nonces.

He was always sort of gloating, like he was somehow superior, playing his

classical music, his opera.

Get to the point.

Tom's got two kids.

Winchwood used to keep on about what he'd do to them.

I was bathing my little boy.

And I drew the curtains because I didn't want anyone to see me.

Holding the old little boy.

That's what Winchwood did to me.

We just wanted to shut him up. Make him scared.

We knew we couldn't do it.

So you used Murphy and Jellings?

We wanted to talk to you. To tell you.

Ask you if you... I think I know what you're going to ask me and the answer is

no.

There's been enough covering up.

If Murphy and Jellings killed Winchwood...

then he has a right to justice.

Or his family does.

He deserved all he got!

We just wanted to teach him a lesson, nothing more.

Oh, but it was more, wasn't it? It was a lot more.

Governor Langham covered up for you, didn't he?

No?

What about Gary Marshall? Did he know?

Did he?

These are the self -infected officers involved, officers O 'Keefe and Dagon.

But they didn't act alone.

Also involved in the events of that night were officers Jenton, Smith,

They're all named.

I leave you to make your own decision regarding Deputy Governor Gary Marshall,

as he is not yet privy to this information.

Prisoners. Anthony Murphy on Douglas Jennings' co -thistory.

And lastly, Vernon Black's tape recording.

May I play this now?

This is actually recorded on Michael Winchford's own cassette player.

I didn't start no fire, but the one in the VP kitchen, because I hate the

animals in there.

Well, I never did anything to Michael Winchwood.

Murphy and officers O 'Keefe and Duggan agreed to say nothing about it.

They gave me the stereo. I didn't nick it.

Then they tried to take it off me.

Thank you, Miss Hewitt.

I think we would now like to discuss these developments.

You have been very tenacious.

Please would you leave the table recording?

There is a copy in the file, plus a written transcript.

Thank you.

Miss Hewitt.

Can you tell me what it feels like to be taken on the notorious Batman's prison?

It's a challenge, and I know it'll be hard work.

But as the new investigation into the death of Michael Winchwood proves, every

man, whether inside or outside prison, deserves and has a right to justice. Is

it true you're the youngest governor in England?

Yes, I believe so.

Is it true that you're the youngest female governor in England?

Yes, I am.
