You did a deal, mate. I said open the door!

You did. No, I never.

You did a deal behind our backs, mate, and that explains that.

BANGING CONTINUES Shut your mouth, lad!

That explains how they found the stash on Berry Street.

Your big mouth told them it was there.

I owe him money from last time I was in.

And you're worried about that, yeah? Yeah, boss.

Well, find out his proper name and I'll look into it for you.

Thanks, boss.

If you don't shut up,

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

it's seg, and what a start that'll be, eh?

Now, you're unlucky to come in over a weekend because it means

you'll spend your first couple of days banged up.

You might get association later on

but that depends on staffing levels at the time.

In front of you, you'll see sheets of paper.

On the first sheet of paper, where it says "name"

I want you to write your name and prison number.

Well, go on, then.

Anyone in for the first time?

Er, yes, boss.

Welcome.

cos there's no real bond between us.

And bond or no bond, you'd want him to be comfy, wouldn't you?

Yeah, well, we know loads of lads there.

They'll make sure he's all right.

Is that a threat?

No, boss.

Well, not just yet.

It's rock bottom, yeah,

but it's somewhere to start again from. A clean slate.

I don't deserve you. I know.

You see, the thing is, I'm not appealing the conviction,

I'm appealing the sentence.

So he's basically just going to stress that there was

only one stab wound, cos the judge never took that into consideration.

There was no discount or anything for that.

I'll just put you on loudspeaker, all right?

It's our David. Oh.

You all right, son? I'm great, Mum. I'm great.

Where are you?

Chapel Grove.

What's it like?

Looks OK. Good, well-run nick.

I'm in a first-night cell,

so won't be on the wing till tomorrow, but it's all looking good.

Do you feel safe?

Totally. Totally, Dad.

Right, well, look, we'll, erm, we'll organise a VO

and we'll come and see you as soon as we can, son, yeah?

All right. Yeah.

Do you need anything sending in?

Just send me...

AUDIO FADES

Yeah, OK. I'll sort that out.

KEYS JANGLE

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Jawad.

Yes, boss. On your bed.

Why, boss? We're coming in.

What? Going to twist your padmate up.

What? Come on, then!

Come on, you fucking bastards!

Come on, then!

SHOUTING AND GROANING

What are you doing?!

Stay on your bed and shut up!

Get off the fucking...

Get off! My freaking head!

Watch it, mate, watch it!

What the fuck?!

HE GROANS

Out of order, that, boss!

Any complaints, you know the procedure.

You're dead hard, aren't you? Three of yous, one of me!

What? What are you looking at?

At what?!

HE GROANS AND SEETHES

INMATES SHOUT

Threaten my son, and you pay for it.

LOCK CLANGS

Hello? Hiya, Dad.

Hi, son.

There's someone here who wants a word with you.

Yeah?

Hi, Dad.

Tom?

Yeah.

Wasn't...wasn't expecting you.

No?

Does your mam know you're speaking to me?

No.

I'm not sure we should be, then.

Dad, I'm 14. I can talk to whoever I want.

You can't, son.

It's entirely up to her whether we speak together or not,

and she don't want it.

Two minutes, then.

OK. OK.

I want to come and see you.

I'm not sure about that, son.

It's not such a good idea right now.

I want to come and see you, Dad!

OK. Maybe next time Gran and Grandad come.

Right.

How are you?

Fine.

Gran and Grandad, they all right?

Fine.

It's lovely to hear your voice, son.

Give us that, lad.

Hey.

Hey, give it me back.

Give me that back, please.

I was on the phone

to my son there, so give it me back, please.

Look, it's one thing taking me food,

that's me suffering, but taking me call, that's me family suffering,

and that's not on, that. John Milner, please.

So give it me back! Yo, what's up?

Give it me back!

Wha... Yeah!

Give it me back.

Yeah.

If you don't give it me back, I'm going to hit you, I mean it.

Come on, then.

Hit me.

Sorry about that...

Fuck.

Oh...

You should've hit him back.

I'm a teacher.

A fucking teacher.

Your life won't be worth living now.

BANGING ON DOOR

He hasn't stopped banging on.

Ta.

BANGING CONTINUES

You've been asking for me? Yeah.

What is it?

Just wondering, boss.

Wondering what?

Why you and your lad don't get on.

We do.

But he's somewhere safe now,

somewhere you can't lay a finger on him.

He's in Chapel Grove.

You fucking...

ALARM BLARES

You lay a finger on that lad, and I'll fucking kill you!

I'll rip your head off, I swear to God.

I'll kill you.

Don't you go anywhere near him, do you hear me?

Let him go! Let him go!

Get him off me!

I swear to God, I'll kill you!

Get off me!

ALARM CONTINUES
