QUIET CHATTER

Jesus! Hi. What happened?

Mate headbutted me. Why?
Disagreement.

SHE SIGHS Some mate!

Yeah.
Are you even able to eat like that?

Oh, I don't know. Um, I'll try.

Can I get you a drink?

Oh, yeah, uh, I'll have
a vodka and tonic, please.

Uh, another one for you, boss?

"Boss"? Yeah, boss.

Do I know you?

Three years Alderwick, boss.

I remember the very good
and the very bad,

so you must have been
somewhere in the middle.

Nadim Sharif.

Nads.

I remember.

No, you don't.

It's all right.
I remember you and...

your missus.

You trying to embarrass me, Nadim?
No, boss.

We're not together anymore.

Oh. Right.

I will have another one.
Pint of bitter, vodka tonic, please.

Is that Jennings still there?

Yeah.

Did you know his tactic?

Punching kids in the guts
where it don't show.

Did you know that?

No.

Yeah, you do.

But you back each other up, you lot.
Don't you?

Shall we go? Yeah.

What's a pint of bitter?

It's a well-known alcoholic drink.

Yeah, but how much does it cost?
£6.

There's seven.

Get yourself a shopping trolley.

MUSIC BLARES, FRYERS SIZZLE
Two fish suppers, please, love.

I know how to show a girl
a good time, don't I?

Yeah!

Another officer did that?

Yeah.
You need to speak to your boss.

Is it governor? Yeah. Yeah.
Speak to your governor about that.

Thinking about it.

What's there to think about?
He's assaulted you.

He should be sacked.

Right.

Would it hurt if I kissed you?

It would hurt more if you didn't.

Sorry.

You promise you'll speak
to your governor?

I promise.

♪ Everybody's gonna say
that it's all right

♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

♪ I got this thing for you

♪ It's all I got
and it's nothing new. ♪

Jennings headbutted me.

Why? I warned him not to have
that reconciliation meeting

between Flynn and Madubuko.

And he ignored my warning.

That's why Madubuko died.

Despite being the one to blame,

he used Madubuko's death
to throw a sickie and play golf.

I remonstrated with him about it,
and he did this.

Are you going to go to work
looking like that? Yeah.

What are you going to say?

Walked into a lamppost.

What do you expect me to do
about Jennings?

Sack him.
I'm going to go to the police

to make sure that he stays away
from me out there,

but that's not much use
if we're working together here.

He should be sacked, guv.

Sit down, Bobby.

All right.

First, he threw a sickie
to play golf.

Mm-hm. He's not the first officer
to do that,

and he won't be the last.
Second - and this is the biggie -

you say you warned him
about the reconciliation meeting,

but he still went ahead with it.

Yep. Well, as things stand now,
Madubuko's death is something

that happens
in young offenders institutions.

Boys get stabbed in all of them.

But if you say one of our custodial
managers f*cked up,

that is a black mark against us,

against this particular
young offenders institution.

And that, Bobby,
could get us closed down.

I don't think I should do anything,
Bobby, about either issue.

However...
HE CLEARS THROAT

I was going to ask you
this in a couple of weeks,

but I may as well do it now.

We're looking
for a new assistant governor.

Marcus is leaving.

Would you be interested?

Uh, yeah, might be, guv, yeah.

It means you'd be more involved
in the running of the place.

More pay, of course.

Can we do this?

If we jump through
the right hoops, yes.

BANGING AND SHOUTING

LAWYER: The police have got
the CCTV, Peter.

It was dark. That doesn't seem
to bother them. They've got nothing.

All four lads. All the same gear.
Could have been any of us.

Exactly, Toby. Any of you.

All of you. Same to them.

The clothes you were wearing
on the night...

Won't find anything on them.
They have.

They found blood? Yes. His blood?

They've got f*ck-all. Nothing on me.
Nothing on our Peter.

Peter was covered in his blood.

What?

LAWYER: So, you were nowhere near
him when the stabbing took place?

No.

Are you sticking to that?

It's true. Then, why are
the police saying

there's blood all over your clothes?
More than any of the others.

INDISTINCT SHOUTING

I told yous to burn them, though.
It was my best trackie.

I'm not getting done for this, lad.
I'm not. If yous would have done

what I told yous, we'd all be sound.
Who made you boss, eh?

I washed my trabs, like,
there weren't a spot on them.

Did I tell you to wash them?
Or did I tell you to burn them?

Have you got 180 quid to give me,
yeah?

I didn't think they'd catch us.

They're blaggin' it.

I'm telling you. They're trying it.

Trying to get us to say we done it.

That's why we say nothing.

Why was there blood on your clothes?

CHAZ SCOFFS What?

They found blood. On his clothes.

No, they never.
Bizzies are saying they did.

My brief told me.
How could they? I weren't near him.

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

How could they, if you weren't
nowhere near him when it happened?

Except if you went back.

They're lying, aren't they? Yeah?

Like he said, they're lying.
They're trying to twist our heads.

Trying to... Did you
go back or what? No!

Is that how they got us?
You were with him?

No! Right?

f*ck's sake!

HE BREATHES RAGGEDLY

Everything all right, young man?

f*ck off!

BANGING

Boss, boss!
I-I can't take it in here no more.

I'm going off my head. All right?

More than normal? Boss, please!

Like, like, I am not joking here!

Just let me out for a bit!
Come on, man!

Jayden! You promised
you'd stopped doing that.

Doing what?
What you're doing right now.

Hurting yourself. I'm not.

I can see that you are.
I'm going to have to come in.

I'm not doing anything, boss!

Come here, then. No! Why? Why?

Come here or I open that door, get
you out and I go through all that.

Leave that, what you've got there.
Leave it.

What's going on?

Why have you started this up again?

I don't know, boss.

Just between you and me.

I won't te... I won't tell anyone.

It was my fault...

that Chris died.

What do you mean?

I knew he had it.

Patsy, I knew he had a f*cking blade
and-and I didn't say anything.

Because he said if I told anyone,
he'd do me instead,

so I didn't. I-I kept my mouth
shut, and...

Christopher died.

And, you know,
it's my f*cking fault.

f*ck. Do you think
I should tell her, boss?

Who?

His mum.

You know, tell her that I knew,
this whole f*cking time.

What good would it do?

I don't know.

I just think I should, you know?

If you'd spoken out,
he'd still be alive.

That's just one more thing
for her to get angry about. Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I suppose so, yeah.

Yeah, keep shtoom, lad.

Best course of action.

OK, boss.

Yeah. All right.

Yeah.

DOOR CREAKS

THUD

HE SPLUTTERS

HE GRUNTS

HE BREATHES SLOWLY

Bobby.

Bobby.

HE BREATHES DEEPLY

You crashed your car into mine.

Bad?

Bad enough.

Why?

Why did I crash?!

Why did you get drunk?

Celebrating.

Celebrating what?

I'm going to be
an assistant governor.

All I have to do is keep that shut.

BANGING AND SHOUTING

THUMP!
f*cking...!

HE PANTS

f*ck!

CLATTERING

"The boy was beginning to wish
he'd stayed at home on dry land.

"Just then, he heard a voice
over the howling wind.

"A huge ship had pulled up
beside him"

"and a man was calling down to him
to jump on board."

"He climbed the ladder"

"just as his ship sank down
to the bottom of the sea."

"And when he turned round to thank
the man for saving him,"

"he saw a face he knew."

"It was his dad."

"He'd found him at last."

Brilliant.

Some of it,
I weren't really reading.

Memorised it.

It's still brilliant!

Is that why you asked to see me -
the story?

I don't know what to do, Miss.

About what?

We were just messing about.

And that's it.

Just, like, kicking sh*t. Like,
wing mirrors and bins and that.

Just having a laugh.

And that man,
he came out and shouted at us,

so I ran off, thinking
that the others are just behind me.

But I looked back and
they was arguing with him.

And he's grabbed Tobe
to stop him getting away.

And...

And then Toby pulled out this knife
and stabbed him.

And...

then the poorly bloke,
he went... he went down.

Then... and then...

and they all ran off. Just...

TEARFUL: But I couldn't
just leave him there,

so I went to...

I don't know, try and, like,

stop the bleeding.

It... it was too much.

So I rang the ambulance and waited.

Cos it was on this, like,
a turning where he could,

you know, like, you know, like,
go left instead of right

and then they'd miss him
just lying there on the ground.

And... and he couldn't talk
or nothing to call out for himself.

HE SNIFFLES

The bizzies come with the ambulance

and... and... just tried to run
when they got there.

Just...

Just, like, his blood all over me!

That's what happened?

Yeah.

You need to say that.

I see him all the time.

His... his eyes...

like...

just wide open.

sh1tting himself.

They don't see that, do they?

They weren't there by then.

It was just me.

And it's horrible.

You need to tell them all this,
Peter.

You can't grass on your cousin,
though, can you?

Can't grass on your family.

Tell your lawyer
what you've just told me.

She's not going to believe me.

She will.



and the ambulance driver
will remember

you pointing him in the right
direction. You have to tell them.

It's my family, Miss.

It's the only family I've got.

Peter, you're looking at life
in prison.

PRISONERS SHOUT

So, Jayden's cutting himself because
he feels guilty. About what?

Nothing. Well, it's not nothing.

It... it was serious,
but he wasn't to blame for it.

You told him that? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah? Yeah.

Did you speak to the governor?

About what? About getting attacked.

Mm. Yeah? Yeah. And?
What did he say about it?

He's looking into it.
He's looking into it? Yeah.

So he's going to do something
about it, or...? Yeah.

Yes.

Yeah.

GOVERNOR RICE: Now, I'm sure
you've all noticed

that Bobby isn't in a uniform
anymore.

So, a warm welcome to
Assistant Governor Bailey.

Thank you.
RICE CLEARS THROAT

Right, I'll chair. And, Abby,
will you take minutes again?

Yes, guv.
So, these four arrive tomorrow.

Definitely keep-aparts, these.
No association with anyone.

BAILEY EXHALES DEEPLY

What? You ever tried
to explain this, Freddie?

Has anyone ever tried
to explain this to anyone

outside the Prison Service?

"He's from L8, he's from L7,
so you've got to keep them apart."

"And those two lads,
they're both from Salford -"

"we'd better keep them apart
as well."

And they go, "How'd you cope with
all that?" And you go,

"Well, we just keep them all
banged up 23 hours a day."

It's embarrassing.
Well, it's how it works, Bobby.

It DOESN'T work.

We've got 140 boys living here,

and when those two lads are out on
C Wing,

that's 138 banned from C Wing.

And there - oh, look, there's a 20,
so that's party time,

except when those 20
are in the fresh air,

that's 120 that are cooped up.
It's ludicrous.

So, what do you suggest? We stop it.

FREDDIE SCOFFS
We stop all this non-association.

From now on, all new entrants just
HAVE to associate with each other.

No matter what their postcodes are.

And there'll be fights, yeah, but
we're prison officers,

we would sort that. And there
wouldn't be that many anyway,

cos they would get
to know each other.

And all the lads that we've got now,

all the lads who only know this
keep-apart shite, they'd be leaving.

And, bit by bit, we'd get
this nick back to how it was.

Gym, chapel, education, training.

They proved that they can do
it at Madubuko's memorial.

They proved they can mix
and not go for each other.

We'll park that one for now, Bobby.

Before I pass sentence on the
defendant, Patsy Flynn,

Mrs Madubuko is going
to describe the impact

that this crime has had on her.

But as she speaks only Swahili,
her friend has translated it

and will read it to us.

Please. Thank you, Your Honour.

"We were poor."

"Ushindi's father took him
to England and died there."

"I did not hear from Ushindi again."

"Years later, I came to England
and asked Bahati..."

That is me, Your Honour. Mm.

"Asked Bahati to find Ushindi.
She found him in prison."

"I went there to hug him,
but they will not let me hug him."

"And now, of course, I never will."

"British people talk of the damage
immigrants do to this country,"

"but what about the damage
this country did to my son?"

I should have spoken out? Yeah.

I would have been headbutted
by Jennings again,

and maybe some others.

I'd have had to pack my job in cos
I couldn't go on working with him.

No-one would work with me anyway.

And I'd have lost the promotion,
and the money that goes with it.

Ready? Yeah. Uh, no. Can we have,
uh, another five minutes, please?

Yeah, sure.

I thought you were hungry.
I don't want to eat with you, Bobby.

Why? Why?! So,
her son should still be alive, yeah?

Yeah. And if it wasn't for that
reconciliation meeting,

he still would be. Yeah.

Well, then
you should have told her that.

It would have made no difference.
The k*ller had pleaded guilty.

So she was going to see him
imprisoned.

Nothing I knew would change that.

Nothing I knew would add
a single day to his sentence.

I'm going.

Why? Why? Oh, for God's sake, Bobby!

DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE

CHATTER

RADIO CHIRPS
Carmel? Are you in D Block, Carmel?

Yeah.

Can you check out James Hennessy?

RADIO CHIRPS He's here.

BOBBY: I'm in visits.
His mother's here.

Your mother's here, James.

What's that mean?

I don't want to see her.

He doesn't want to see her.

Why?

Why?

No answer.

Shall I tell her he's not coming?

Should he tell her
you're not coming?

Yeah.

Yeah.

He doesn't want to see you,
Mrs Hennessy.

Why?

He won't say.

It's his father.

He's passed away.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

INDISTINCT SHOUTING

BANGING

Body of Christ. Amen.

Body of Christ. Amen.

Body of Christ. Amen.

Body of Christ.

Do you believe it all?
God, and life after death?

I don't know what I believe
right now.

So, what do people fear? Death.

So you offer them life after death,
they'll jump at it.

When they die and there's nothing,
who's going to complain?

Believe in life after death,
and death is less frightening.

That's good, surely.

Then you've got God, haven't you?
Invisible. Oh, unreachable.

Oh, so you need popes and cardinals

and bishops and priests.

All earning good money. All living
in good houses, eating good food.

It's all paid for by mugs like us.

I've got a cushy number. Yeah.

I don't know what real life is like.

Well... yeah.

I see sickness,

suicide, and poverty that'd
make you vomit,

and I still don't know
what real life is like.

And I get told that
because I don't have kids.

Well, I've yearned for kids, Bobby,

but nuns don't do them.

This can be the most rewarding job
in the world,

but it's tough, Bobby. And it costs
me, and it certainly isn't cushy.

DOOR OPENS

My priest has been in touch.

By email.

He's got my number, but he emailed.

So...

He wanted to give me time to think.

"Can we meet?" he said.

I've told no-one. They'd say,
"You're just giving him the chance"

"to hurt you again. Don't go."

But I don't
want to do what they want me to do.

I want to do what I want to do.

And I don't know what that is yet.

HE GRUNTS SOFTLY

Hiya, love. You all right? Yeah.

Toby's not here.

I know.

I've just come to see you today,
sweetheart.

All right. See how you're getting
on. I've been missing you.

Izzy's been hogging you
all to herself.

Yeah! Yeah, sorry.

Toby called me.

He's a bit worried about you.

Is he?
Well, you know what he's like.

Protective.

He said you're making
some new friends, though.

As long as you're not forgetting
about our Toby.

Nah, 'course not.

Cos he's more than a mate, isn't he?

He's more than a cousin.

He's like your brother.

Like me.
More than your auntie, really.

More like a mum.

Yeah.

But you know what keeps me going,
right?

It's knowing that if you
HAVE to be in here,

that you're in here together,

protecting each other,
keeping each other safe.

I want you to tell me
what happened that night.

What?

The lawyer said you had blood
on your clothes.

They're lying.

It weren't me, Auntie Shee,
I promise.

You were there.

But it weren't you.

It was one of them.

Yeah.

I went back...
after... after it happened.

Went back to help him
and phone the ambulance.

Who was it, Peter?

It was Toby.

Right.

You went back to help him,
the man, after he was hurt.

Cos you're a good boy.

And that'll help you...

if you tell them.

But you don't have to tell them
the rest.

You just have to say
you don't know, didn't see.

You turned around and he was
on the floor...

and they were gone.

You don't have to point
the finger at Toby.

Like, I can't stay in here,
Auntie Shee.

Listen to me, Peter. Not with
Izzy and the baby. Listen to me!

If you say it was him,
say it was Toby, right,

and he goes down on your evidence,
you won't be able to come back.

Ever.

The rest of the lads on the estate,
they'll get to you.

Even if you don't come back
and live with us.

They'll find you.

And you won't be able to go and live
with Izzy and little Peter...

cos they'll find them, too.

You'll have to leave for good.

And you'll break his heart

cos he's always, always
looked after you, hasn't he?

I know he has.

Then promise me
you won't say nothing.

Peter, promise me now.

I've got to go, Auntie Shee.

Is that the thanks I get...

for taking you in

from your smack head mother
and smack head father,

stopping you from going
the same way?

RAISED VOICE: I treated you
the same as my own son, Peter!

Let me out, boss.
And this is how you repay me!

You ungrateful little b*stard!

Peter!

I looked after you!

Is this how you repay me?!
You f*cking rat!

Number 12 for me.

GATE CLOSES

You going to give evidence?

Is that cos it's good for you
or cos it's the right thing to do?

Don't know, boss.

Bit of both.

KEYS JANGLE

DOOR CLOSES, LOCK CLUNKS

You got a minute?

Yeah.

Um...

You ever had a man?

I'm afraid that's my business,
Bobby.

I need to speak to someone.

Someone who'll keep a secret.
I know you'll do that.

But I need someone
who'll understand, too.

I've had a man, yes.

Loved him?

Yes.

Me and the wife aren't together.

Living together, yes, but that's it.
Nothing else.

She's as good as gone.

I'm sorry.

I can't knock a nail in.
I can't...

write. I mean, I'm sh*t at maths.

Got no skills.
I've got no talents whatsoever.

I'm on 65 grand in here.

I'm never going to get that
anywhere else, nowhere near.

Right. And I've got friends in here.

Outside, I go home

and I watch telly and I drink.

But in here,

I matter to one or two people.

Um, I need you to remember that -

that everything I've got is in here.

Right.

So...

Jennings was responsible
for Ushindi Madubuko's death.

I've told no-one.

Well, I told the governor, but,
I mean, that's as good as no-one.

And I had no intention
of ever telling anyone.

Then I met someone.

Nicola. And I like her,
I really like her.

And she liked me.

"Liked"?

Yeah.

Past tense? Yeah.

I'm sorry.

She found out about it,
that I'd kept the truth

from Madubuko's mother, and she was
disgusted by that, and she left me.

So...

um, I'm now thinking
of telling the truth.

But not because it's the truth,

not because
Mrs Madubuko deserves it or...

Just because I want that woman back.
I want Nicola back.

But...

if I do that, I can't stay here.

What should I do?

I don't know, Bobby.

I'd normally say,
"I'll pray for you,"

but I've no faith in prayer
right now.

If you were forced to choose.

Forced to choose,
I'd say tell the truth.

Huh.

Thanks.

Thank you.

DOOR OPENS

DOOR CLOSES

All right? What do YOU want?

Nicola.

Nicola? Why do you want Nicola?

We've been seeing each other.

HE SCOFFS

Nicky?

Yeah?

You're wanted.

What do you want? I should be
ashamed of myself, I know,

but there's going to be an inquest,
so I'm going to sort it out there.

I promise you,
I'm going to sort it out.

So please, please, please,
come out with me.

So he goes to his dad
and he says the same thing.

He says, "I'm a polar bear,
aren't I, Dad? I'm not a brown bear"

"or a black bear or a grizzly bear?"

And his dad says,
"No, son, you're a polar bear."

So he goes to his grandad
and he says the same thing.

He says, "I'm not a brown bear
or a black bear or a grizzly bear?"

And his grandad says, "No, son",

"you're a polar bear.
What's wrong with you?"

And he goes, "I'm bloody freezing!"

Who's Nicola, boss?

Come on.

Wait there.

Let's go.

BELL TOLLS

On this mountain He will destroy
the shroud that enfolds all peoples.

The sheet that covers all nations.

He will swallow up death forever.

Our sovereign Lord will wipe away

He will remove his people's
disgrace from all the earth.

The Lord has spoken.

ALL: Amen.

What are you doing? You do it.

Car keys.

Now, for some of you, I know you
won't have been in church for ages.

You might be wondering
what to do at Communion.

Well, there's absolutely nothing

It's difficult, isn't it?

Today we have James with us,

and we thank the prison officers
for bringing him to us.

But Joseph, whom he so terribly
wronged, is in this grave,

and his name is on this stone.

I think we should pray
for both boys,

and I know their mother agrees.

Yes.

Almighty Father, in your infinite
mercy, grant both boys peace.

Amen.
ALL: Amen.

For their Father, we say eternal
rest grant unto him, O Lord.

Let perpetual light shine upon him.

May he rest in peace.

Amen.
ALL: Amen.

SHOUTING IN BACKGROUND

We're going to have to
come in there, Jayden,

to stop you doing that.

Jayden, you listening to me?
JAYDEN GRUNTS

I need you to put that down now.

JAYDEN GRUNTS

Jayden, step back to the wall.
We're coming in.

No, no, no. f*ck off! f*ck off!
f*ck off! Yeah?

It's all right. f*ck off!
It's all right, Jayden.

Get out! Leave me the f*ck alone!
Jayden, Jayden.

All right, all right, all right, all
right, OK, OK. I dropped it, yeah?

Just leave me alone. We're just going to take you
somewhere safe, Jayden. So, f*cking get out, then!

f*cking get out! No, Jayden, I need to get you out
of here... What are you doing?! Leave me alone!

Leave me alone! Please! I'm
just going to gently grab your head,

all right? That's all. Right,
step... No, no, no, he's fine.

You're fine, Jayden. Step back.

Take a step back.
That's it, good lad. Good lad.

Good lad. You're good, you're good.
I'm just going to squeeze past you.

You're good. Sorry. I'm sorry,
all right? All right, come on.

OK, OK. Come on. Sorry, that's it.
That's it, Jayden, well done.

You're doing a great job, yeah? All
right. You're f*cking hurting me,

though. You're all right.

Right, we're going to squeeze
through this door now, OK?

Yeah, you're all right. Come on.

THUDDING AND SHOUTING

Anyone you want to say goodbye to?

Yeah. Peter.

CLUNKING

You all right, dickhead?

All right?

You settled in with the weirdos
and the nonces, then? Your sort.

You're the biggest nonce going,
you, lad. Aye, right!

Are you off, are you?

Yeah, yeah.

Big-man jail.

Yeah, man.

You ain't going to last two minutes
in there, lad.

Nah? Nah, too much of this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nah, I'll be... I'll be running
the place. You watch.

Yeah, yeah, 'course.

Better not be seeing you there,
all right?

Right.

All right, man.

Sound.

Yeah?

Yeah.

DOOR CLATTERS

You ever been there, boss?

Craigmore Prison? Yeah, I have.

What's it like?

It's no better, no worse
than any other prison.

Can we tell your mother
where you're going? No, boss.

You think that's fair?

Probably not.
Then, let us tell her. No.

Why not?

I can't take the pain.

f*ck... f*ck!

SOBBING: Why the f*ck are you doing
this to me?!

Carriage awaits.

Peter! I can smell a rat!
Should have done you, yeah?

Guess who's going to do you, lad?
I thought we were mates!

INDISTINCT SHOUTING

All you've ever done is take
from us, innit?

I looked after you!
My ma looked after you!

You're f*cking dead, lad!

I'd never rat on you! Never!

ALL YELL

Hi.

Aliomba kuniona.
You asked to see her.

Yeah.

Um...

You knew he had it.

Yeah.

Had what?

The shiv.

Shiv?

The knife.

Alijua mvulana huyo alikuwa na kisu.

Mvulana aliyemuua Ushindi.

Um...

I-I saw him with it,

and he said, you know, not to
tell anyone else, he'd...

SOBBING: He'd stab me.
So I-I didn't. I didn't.

But I didn't expect him
to k*ll anyone.

Cos it was so... it was so sh*t.

So, I just... I just, um...
I kept my mouth shut.

And then, uh, and then Chris died.

Nilimwona nacho na akasema,
nikimwambia mtu yeyote, angenichoma.

Sikudhani angeua mtu yeyote nacho
kwa sababu kilikuwa kibaya tu.

Kwa hivyo, nilikimya.

Lakini ka ningesema,
Ushindi angekuwa hapa.

Mrs Madubuko...

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Please...

I'm so sorry.

I want you to tell the truth
at Ushindi's inquest. What truth?

That Jennings was responsible
for his death.

That's going to bring him back,
is it?

No, but his mother's entitled
to know it.

I disagree.

A few days ago, you were seriously
thinking about it,

about telling the truth.

Yeah, well,
I had something to gain then.

DOOR CLUNKS OPEN

How did it go?

Guilty.

I'll come and see you.

I'll come and see you.

And Peter? He got off, the f*cking
rat! Happy with that, are you?

Eh? Your little blue-eyed boy! Hey!

You'll remember this inquest began
several months ago,

but I adjourned it because
there was a m*rder trial pending.

That trial is now over
and this inquest can resume.

Ushindi and Patsy Flynn
were on keep-aparts.

Ushindi wanted a... a reconciliation
meeting with Patsy Flynn,

and Flynn agreed.

And so the meeting went ahead.
Patsy Flynn came in first.

Assistant Governor Bailey
brought him.

I established that Assistant
Governor Bailey had searched him,

and then I searched him, too.

Ushindi came in then,
and we started.

We were only about 30 seconds in

when Patsy Flynn stabbed him.

Can I say something
to Ushindi's mother?

Yes, of course.

I'm sorry for your loss,
Mrs Madubuko.

I swear by Almighty God that the
evidence I shall give

shall be the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth.

You're Assistant Governor
Robert Bailey,

and you work
at Alderwick Young Offenders. Yes.

Can I say something
to Custodial Manager Jennings?

Yes.

Did you tell Mrs Madubuko
you were sorry for her loss?

I know you planned to do that.

SHE WHISPERS

Did you?

Yes.

He should be sorry for her loss.

He was responsible for it.

But he isn't.

Believe me, he isn't.

CM Jennings organised
a recon meeting

between Ushindi and Patsy Flynn,
yes,

but what I'm sure
he left out is this.

I told CM Jennings it was madness

because Patsy Flynn was an ignorant,
uncontrollable thug

who would harm Ushindi,
given half a chance.

CM Jennings ignored my warning,
and that is why Ushindi died.

I said all this to the governor.

The governor was worried
that it would reflect badly

on our young offenders institute,

and he offered me a...

bribe, promotion,
never to repeat it.

I'm ashamed to say I accepted
that bribe...

but no longer.

Governor, you can shove that bribe
up your arse, along with the job.

Mrs Madubuko, I'm so sorry.

I'm so, so, so, so sorry.

WHISPERING

The jury concludes
that Mr Madubuko died

as a result of unlawful k*lling

and that significant failures
by the staff at HMYOI Alderwick

exposed him to serious harm
which directly led to his death.

It's my intention to write to His
Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons

and set out Mr Bailey's evidence,

particularly the parts that apply
to CM Jennings and Governor Rice.

But for now, Mr Bailey,
thank you for that evidence,

given it could not
have been easy for you.

And to Bahati Ogbonloha, I say
thank you for translating today.

And to Mrs Amara Madubuko,
I offer the sympathy of the court.

Hello, Peter!

Hello, Miss.

This is Izzy.

Hi. Hi!

And this is little Peter. Oh!

Peter Junior.

Oh, he's lovely!

Hello!

He's absolutely wonderful.

I, uh, got you summat.

What for?

Helping me, Miss.

Thank you. Thank you.

Bye, Miss.

Bye. Bye.

And bye-bye, Peter Junior.

Yeah, bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Thanks.

You wanted to meet.

Yes.

You got something to say?

Yes.

Can I go first?

Yes.

I want to tell you what I want to
hear and what I don't want to hear.

Is that OK?

Yes.

I don't want to hear an explanation.

I don't want to hear you say,
"I'm a priest, woman."

"I can turn bread into the body of
Christ, wine into his blood."

"I have the power and the glory,"

"and it's taken years
to instil that in me."

"How can I throw all that away
for a bit of ageing skirt?"

You won't use those words,
I know it's a bit too blunt, but...

essentially,
that's what you'd be saying,

and I'd rather not hear it,
thank you very much.

And what would you like to hear?

"To hell with my collar.
To hell with your veil."

"We will stick together."

"We'll open up food banks."

"We'll work with the sick.
We'll work with the homeless."

"We will do God's work together,
and to hell with the bishop"

"and their cronies. Join me, girl."

And if you're
not going to say that,

let's just drink our tea
and go our separate ways.

There's a place in Toxteth
that looks after asylum seekers.

Yeah, they're looking for a couple -

preferably married, but
not necessarily so -

to run it.

I thought... you and me.

Would you consider that?

Yes.
