Bad Girls (1999) s06e11 Episode Script

l did not attack Kris Yates.
l'm not the only one he's tried to molest.
He attacked a staff member in the toilets.
Stuart Jones.
You ask him.
Go on.
l discovered he'd been abusing two staff members and several inmates.
When you say abusing, do you mean sexually or violently? Both.
lt was the seat and mirror positions l looked at first.
The way they're both positioned is for someone who's six foot tall.
lt means there's a good shout it wasn't her at the wheel.
- Karen.
- For God's sake! - Please just hear me out.
- Just leave me alone.
What if l can make it up to you? Take a look at the electoral roll.
lt tells you who lives where and with who.
And then, Mr Fenner, you'll have 'em.
Oh, thanks.
(TV) 'People of all ages either sat around enjoying the few hours of weekend sun, 'or finding whatever space was available to dance.
'Some were looking for an out-of-world experience.
Some brought their dogs.
'Others were just' You're doing the right thing, Milly, so we can all be together.
You, me and Kris.
Except l won't be with you, will l? l'll be in borstal or whatever.
You won't.
l've told you.
Our lawyer's right on the case.
Mum won't budge from what she's saying.
Hates me the same as Kris now.
Be my word against hers, what our dad was like.
That's what the lawyer said.
And it's her who'll get believed, not me.
- l can't handle it, Selena.
l know l can't.
- Stop it.
For Christ's sake, listen to yourself.
Whatever happens to you won't be half as bad as what you've landed Kris in.
That's right.
You let her ruin her life for something you did, Milly.
You, not her.
l don't even know what my right mind is now.
l'm 15 and l'm a murderer for the rest of my life.
l can't take it back, can l? No, but you can stop being such a selfish coward.
Kris is going through hell for something she didn't do.
lf you don't tell the truth, l'll never forgive you and neither will Kris.
Come on.
We'll talk on the way.
l knew some air would do you good.
Look, let's meet on my lunch break.
That café near your lawyer's office.
l'll give her a call and see if she's free to talk things through.
lt'll make you feel better to face it, Milly.
Come on.
l'll see you at 12:30.
Good girl.
- Put that on top, shall l? - Thanks.
- That's for you.
- Thanks, Di.
- That's for you.
- Thank you.
- Déjà vu.
- Just keep quiet about it.
Don't want the cons mucking it up, like they did last time.
- Plus one, is it? - Optional.
Bring someone if you like.
Sorry l'm late.
Come on.
Let's get on with it and be quick.
Now, l want Buxton and Yates kept on CC.
Eh? Both of them? l mean, l assumed you'd come to a decision after their adjudications.
lt's still in process.
lt's not open and shut.
Oh, come on.
Yates is guilty.
We all know it.
Do we? lf you're privy to further information, Jim, l think you'd better let me know.
All l'm saying is look at her record.
She's a violent bully.
She kicked me in the guts.
She's capable of doing Buxton.
After your attack on her in front of the prison, you've got a nerve.
- Jim was ill.
- OK, that's enough.
l'll be going on evidence, not on hunches.
So it's CCs until l say otherwise.
All right, unlock the rest.
My office, 1 1 o'clock sharp.
You want your scrambled egg, you'd better come clean to Myers.
l haven't done anything to come clean about.
You beat the shit out of Natalie and then you go around acting all innocent? So why is she banged up an' all, then? Because, Yates, you're a vicious liar.
Oops.
Better get a mop and clean that up.
Now! - Yes, Miss.
- Fetch another breakfast.
Have fun, girls.
l need to know what happened yesterday.
Myers has summoned me to her office.
She told your bosses l attacked her cos she found out you and me were an item.
- Jesus.
- Said she was going to spill the beans.
l went for her.
l told you it was crap.
Myers must be suspicious, or l wouldn't still be on CC, would l? l don't know.
Buxton's already spread shit about us.
Myers didn't believe it then.
Yeah, but if it's a formal accusation in front of the prison governor, she'll have to look into it, won't she? They can't prove anything, though.
Can they? l was sweating like a carthorse in the night.
Probably just a cold coming on.
All the germs in this place, you can't help but worry you'll come down with HlV.
Well, Sylvia, l think you can rule that out.
l'll get you some aspirin.
Thank you, Malcolm.
Got my invite this morning, for Di and Jim's wedding.
- l was worried l'd be poorly for that.
- Well, worry not.
Get a good night's sleep, best way to boost the immune system.
l think l feel boosted already, just for having your attention.
- Sorry to interrupt, Doctor.
- Oh, l erm l just popped in for a quick checkup, ma'am, feeling a bit fluey.
l didn't notice you suffering from any symptoms earlier.
l nearly didn't come in at all today.
l'm glad you did.
Someone hilarious has put an incontinence pad on the hotplate and the smell in the servery is, well, unwelcome.
Can you get it sorted before lunch, please? Oswyn and Tull, what's the story? Still complaining of cramps, stopped vomiting, rehydrating quite nicely.
- l was going to check on their progress.
- l'll check with you.
Oh, Miss Myers, how good of you to visit.
Dr Nicholson tells me you made an excellent recovery.
No thanks to that sadist.
Won't even give us our normal ration of sleeping tablets.
l can't give you any drugs at all.
A pair of abusers, like you two.
Christ almighty, one mistake.
l can see you're well enough to speak, which is handy, because l want some answers, specifically about Alison McKenzie's death.
- We've told you everything we know.
- We're victims ourselves.
Don't piss me off.
Just tell me how Natalie Buxton fits in.
lf we could deflect suspicion, don't you think we would? l think you can.
l think you better had.
We would do our best to assist you if we had guarantees in return.
l don't think you're in a position to strike deals.
l'm saying that we would need extra privileges by way of protection.
lf you come up with anything useful, it'll be gratefully received.
Now, get on your feet, you're checking out.
Don't get your hopes up, cos it's not enough.
But it's down there in black and white, on the scene of crime report.
''lndications that a man was driving the car, or someone of a large stature.
'' l can't believe it wasn't taken into account.
But anyone could have adjusted the seat and mirror position, regardless of what it says in this report.
l mean, kids, some rookie who didn't know his scene of crime from his elbow.
And that's what the prosecution would argue, but it's a start.
Now, l'm tracking down all the witness reports plus CCTV footage of the route the vehicle took before it was abandoned.
- How long? - Depends what we come up with.
Of course, l'll move as fast as l can.
Right now l'm going through all the items found in the car, so don't worry.
lf you're telling the truth, l'll find something.
OK? l'll call yous.
This is the first time anyone's bothered to look beyond the eyewitness reports.
l hope he turns up something soon, because if he doesn't, l'm up to my eyes in it and you're in the dock and Fenner's screwed us both.
Come in.
Listen, l know you wanted to see me, but l think l've got a few things l'd better come clean about before you start.
l'm all ears.
Yeah, OK.
We did live together, as friends.
Of course.
And it's just a coincidence you ended up working here.
- No.
- l think you'd better sit down.
A little something for you to pass the time.
Not that you've got that long to wait now.
Oh, thank you.
You were spot on.
They were side by side on the electoral register.
Geeson's getting a grilling from Myers as we speak.
Told you.
Look, Mr Fenner, l do really appreciate what you did for me.
There's not many that would take the word of a con over one of their own.
l'm a professional, Natalie.
l like to make it my business to know the good ones from the bad.
Just don't let me down.
l knew Kris was innocent, one hundred per cent, and l just thought if l was her PO, l could help prove it.
You're very determined.
l don't know if l'd go to such lengths for a friend.
Look, l know you're going to sack me and l'm sorry, but Kris didn't murder her dad.
And now that l've found her sister, we can prove it.
Couldn't you have tracked her down from the outside? l'll go.
Just please don't let this jeopardise Kris's appeal.
Please.
OK, this is what we're going to do.
You are going to get your arse on that lntensive Development Scheme.
Anybody asks, and l mean anybody, you told me months ago that you and Yates were roomies.
Tomorrow, l'm ghosting her out.
ln the meantime, don't go anywhere near her.
lt's got to look right, Selena.
Once she's gone, you can visit her and explain.
ln the meantime, you do it my way.
Thanks.
Yeah, well, despite everything, you're still one of my best POs.
l mean it.
Thank you.
Hi.
Hi, Milly, it's me.
Are you there? Pick up.
'l'm running about ten minutes late, but l 'l guess l missed you.
l'll see you there anyway.
' (Hangs up) Has anyone seen Miss Geeson? Kris Yates is making a real racket up there, shouting out for her.
She'll be too busy swotting for her fast-track scheme to do a proper shift.
l haven't seen her since this morning.
Get ready for some mandatory overtime.
Come on, Johnston, move yourself.
Typical, innit? Fall for someone just as l'm due out.
(Julie) What fall for? You've only met him once.
(Tina) You weren't there.
There was a you know, a thing.
Yeah and it's swinging between his legs.
End of story.
You've got your whole life ahead of you, Tine.
Forget him.
Whole life? l ain't got nobody, Ju.
No one waiting for me.
No bleedin' job skills.
You want a job on the outside? Me find one for you.
Put you onto the old boys, so you can hook us up with some ganja in here.
Pack it in, Cakey.
She wants something legit.
You will get a job, Tine.
You should be happy.
Wish it was me getting out.
Yeah, so you can be with your David.
See what l mean? You got family.
l ain't got a bleedin' sod in the world.
You should be grateful, girl.
One mouth to feed is enough.
See them bad old bitches still alive.
Take more than poison to kill them off.
- Where's Buxton? - Cellular confinement.
Where the two of you should be, permanently.
l resent that.
What a way to treat us when we've been so poorly.
We're still recuperating.
Then you'll have lost your appetites.
Better skip lunch and get some rest in your cell.
Hmm.
l thought so.
Go on, you pair of blaggers.
From now on, you'll be fetching your own meals.
Thank you.
Oh.
How's my patient? Fighting it off? Biggest threat to my immune system is called Myers.
She'll be docking our wages for going to the loo next.
Actually, Malcolm, before she stuck her nose in earlier, l was going to ask you, have you got your plus one for Di and Jim's wedding yet? Plus one? Since my Bobby passed on, l've gone everywhere on my ownsome.
l expect it's the same for you.
Be nice to have a man whisk me around the dance floor.
- What do you think? - Well, the thing is Come to mine first, have a sherry and l could show you some moves.
l'm not sure l'm going yet, you see? - Don't tell me you've not been invited.
- No.
l think l might have double booked.
Excuse me.
Tell Her Majesty l've filed the paperwork on Oswyn andthe other one, whatever her name is.
(Police radio) (Man) Oi! Oi, madam.
Madam! Here, Ju.
l've left something in the servery.
- Don't go making a fool of yourself.
- Please.
Just give me two minutes.
You act too keen, he's only going to want you for one thing.
- So? - What about what you want, Teen? Bleedin' hell, between you and Ju, am l the only one here who's got any self-respect left? Please.
l'll catch you up.
- All right? - Yeah.
l waved at you earlier, but you didn't see me.
Oh, l saw you, but you was busy with Mr Fenner.
Nicenice spanner.
lt's a wrench.
Oh.
Nice wrench, then.
Are you saying you like my tool? Yeah.
Oh.
l don't know.
l haven't seen it yet, have l? Well, that could be arranged.
Like l said, when you get out, we should meet up.
Why wait till l get out? l might be able to fix something up for later.
lt's pathetic the way he swans in here every day as if nothing had happened.
How area can think he can command any respect if he's under investigation for sexual assault is beyond me.
Should have been suspended from the word go.
With a bit of luck, Myers will follow him out.
l can't see how her position's tenable once Grayling's gone.
That's the whole point, isn't it? She should never have got the job in the first place.
She'll be clearing her desk.
Don't you worry.
To make way for our wedding photo, eh? lf there's any justice in the world, l am going to marry the next wing governor.
- l'll drink to that.
- We're having a full guard of honour.
- lt's going to be the wedding of the year.
- (Sylvia) You see? You'll kick yourself if you miss it.
Naughty Malcolm's told me he hasn't RSVP'd yet.
Don't you let him get off with it.
- The best man doesn't need to RSVP.
- Best man? You don't have to do the Official Secrets Act to your colleagues.
Ey, maybe you could help him with his speech, Sylv.
Make sure there aren't too many rude bits.
l lt's Under the circumstances l couldn't refuse, so lcancelled my, erm other thing.
Quite right, too.
Do you want me to tell her? l've got to do it myself.
l'll take her off CC, get you somewhere private, so you can have a bit of time.
But, Selena, it's all the more important that she's ghosted out tomorrow.
You can't.
l've got to be with her.
Oh, don't be so bloody stupid.
lf people are suspicious already, how the hell are you going to play it cool under these circumstances? Look at it this way.
lf it gets out, you'll be split up for sure.
And you'll face a disciplinary hearing.
Let her go quietly andat least you get the chance to visit her.
Oh, my God.
This is going to destroy her.
You know what she's been through to protect Milly.
She was trusting me.
l don't know how l'm even going to say the words.
Jessica, will you see if interview room G4's available, please? The prosecution aren't planning on using you, so l've been given permission to review your statement.
l really don't have any more information.
Well, if you could just go over what you saw that night again.
l was on my way home from my neighbour's house and, welll saw the hit-and-run, Triumph Spitfire going fast, all over the road.
And you would know a Triumph Spitfire to look at, would you? l'm sorry.
l'm not being sexist.
lt's just that not many womenyou know? My brother had one for six years.
l know what car it was.
OK.
Fair enough.
Now, what about the plates? Erit was going too fast.
l only got the first two numbers, but l did see it plough into that man.
She didn't even try and stop.
You are quite sure, are you, that the driver was a she? l saw her.
Blonde hair to here.
l identified her picture the first time.
Well, just one more time, Mrs Welles, please.
l mean, it was dark.
Now, are any of these women the person you saw driving the car that night? Take your time.
Absolutely sure.
That's her.
l don't understand what the problem is.
The police have said they found the car.
l'm sorry to have wasted your time, Mrs Welles.
Thank you.
Oh, there's some good strong bars up there.
Tell you what, l'll smash the window, lend you my belt.
lt won't take long.
Know what l mean? - So what's happening with this one? - Thank you, Mr Fenner.
l said piss off.
What the hell have they done to you? What's happening? l can't They've found out about us, haven't they? So you get the sack.
lt's a shit job anyway.
lt doesn't mean l killed my dad, does it? l'll be out soon.
Wewill start again.
What? For Christ's sake, tell me.
Milly's dead.
(Kris screams) No! l said and you just kept on and on! Just thinking of yourself! l wasn't thinking of myself! Don't you dare try and defend what you've done.
Milly's only a kid.
She is all l had.
You selfish bitch! How scared must she have been to jump? lf you think l don't blame myself, you're wrong.
l wish l'd been there and stopped it.
But l didn't spend years smacking her about like your dad! That is why l took the blame in the first place! You stupid, stupid cow! l knew she could not hack it! - l'm sorry.
l'm sorry.
l'm sorry.
l'm sorry.
- What are you doing? You were supposed to be looking after her! Stay back or l will get security.
l'm sorry.
Sorryisn't good enough.
lt's over, Yates.
lt's over.
lt's all over.
Oi, save some for us to serve.
A bit extra for Natalie.
She must be pig sick staring at those four walls.
Don't worry.
She'll be out soon.
Word is Myers is giving Yates a doing right now.
They can't both be guilty, can they? Shit.
Buxton shops us, she'll have to explain how she knows.
Shops us? You weren't the one who put poison in the wing governor's coffee.
No one can prove that.
Besides, Myers is after Buxton's arse, even more than ours.
So we're just going to have to give her a helping hand.
lf you're talking about murder, you can do that yourself.
lt's not my forte.
We have to set a trap and let Buxton incriminate herself.
(Woman) You bitch! - Look who it is.
- Been rumbled, have you? You bleedin' bully! (Women shout) Try bullying me, bitch.
Me eat you like a Jelly Tot! Back off, Cake! Quiet, everyone, and listen.
Kris's sister Milly died earlier today.
So just give it a rest, will you? You go and open your fool white mouth again before you think! So that's it, then? There's no point in pretending, Karen.
All the witnesses l have spoken to have positively identified you as the driver.
But it was dark.
And it certainly looks like you on the CCTV footage.
l'm sorry, Karen.
lt's your car, your image.
Er you have no alibi, you know.
All the evidence adds up.
That's all l can do for you.
Well, that's not going to help.
Speak for yourself.
l knew it was too sodding good to be true.
Well, l'm not giving up yet.
Even if you're determined to drink yourself to death.
l'm going to jail, Neil, an ex-governor.
l bloody hope my liver packs in first.
Ah, do l work here or what? l'm Buxton's effing personal officer and the bloody cons know what's going on before l do.
Grow up.
Yates has had a bereavement, so l let her off CC, end of story.
Look, there are serious allegations here.
We all know Yates has a history of violence.
lf she's let off CC, then it's only fair that Buxton's let out as well.
They need to be separated and it's my decision.
l don't give a shit what you think's fair.
So you know Yates isn't getting special privileges, l'm shipping her out tomorrow.
ln the meantime, a little bit of humanity wouldn't go amiss.
ls that clear? Go on.
Go ahead and say it, but it isn't me.
Then we need to prove it, so why don't you help? There's another VCR in the bedroom.
There's hours of bloody footage here.
At least Rob's cued up all the juicy bits for you.
Oh, l'm trying to save your skin here, Karen.
No, you're trying to save your own skin, as usual.
And, as usual, you're onto a loser.
So now you're saying it is you on the tape? Of course it bloody isn't! Why didn't you say you did it and save me the stress? - Cos l didn't.
- How the hell would you even know? Here you are, love, and there's a little something in it for you as well.
l hope you get some sleep.
Appreciated.
Here, girls, l've got a massive load here.
You couldn't make sure none of the other girls muscle in on my time? You're a bit glammed up for washing out your smalls.
Oh.
Er this is all l've got left.
That's why l'm so desperate to get this lot done.
Desperate's the word.
She just wants what she ain't got waiting for her on the outside, a bit of love.
You're sorry, right? You will be.
This is the last chance we'll have to speak.
You're on the ghost train tomorrow.
Brightwell Prison, 7 am.
Whatever you think at the moment, l'm still fighting for you.
- We've got Milly's affidavit.
- What's that worth now? She was forced to sign it and then topped herself.
Doesn't hold much water any more, does it? - You can't give up hope.
- l have no hope to give up.
And nothing left to live for.
So what does it matter? - Kris - Get out of my sight, Selena.
l love you.
Well, l hate you.
Want to give me a hand with this? Terry, it's Kris.
Yeah, l know.
How are the lads? l've been better.
Listen, Tel, l need a favour, if you're up for it.
A bloody massive one.
(Woman) Keep your chin up, mate.
We're with you, girl.
(Doors bang) OK, Yates.
Pack up.
We're shipping you out.
You sick bastards.
You know what l'm going through! l agree the timing's not good, but we both know why you've got to go.
lt was either you or Geeson.
Believe me, l'm doing us all a favour.
You've got ten minutes.
(Door slams) Just thought l'd say goodbye to my favourite girl.
See you in hell, Fenner.
(Fenner whistles) One less plate for breakfast, please, ladies.
Yates has been shipped out.
- You what? - How come? Why do you think? Myers has had enough of her shit.
But her sister's just passed away.
Doesn't change the fact she attacked Buxton, does it? Bleedin' hell, that Myers is one hard cow.
Poor old Kris.
Good for Natalie, though.
She's off the hook.
We have go.
- (Tyres screech) - Shit.
- Terry! - Come on, Kris, quick! Give it till tea time, then take Buxton off CC.
Why not now? She'll know Yates has gone.
l don't want her kicking off.
l don't believe a word of her story, whether Yates is here or not.
Let her sweat for a bit.
Tea time.
- (Phone) - OK, everyone, unlock.
Myers.
Jesus.
Right.
Keep me posted.
There's been an accident with the transport taking Kris Yates to Brightwell.
- ls everyone all right? - There's an ambulance on the scene.
l only hope the ambulance is for her who deserves it.
(Terry) Keep your head down.
Cheers, Tel.
Fenner.
- Buxton! - What? You murdering bitch, you! (Shouting) Oh, my God.
l am a victim of the justice system! Hello.
He's won.
Bastard.
Might as well get used to the fact.
l can kiss goodbye to the next ten years.
