Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot
It was raining in Texas as usual as everyone was going about their business, except for Phil who was nowhere to be seen. "I see that this is the point for everyone in this case to actually end." "seems reasonable." said Lopez. As they were talking some more the phone rang and Moran answered it. "Hello, Offices of The Firm." "Sam, it's me. I'm at the police station.. I've handed myself in." "You what?" "I have no time to explain but can someone get down here for me." Moran then said "Fine." and he hung up and Moran put the phone down. "You have got to be shitting me." 'What, who was that." "That was Phil. He's at the station. He's handed himself in." "In for what?" said Charlene. "He didn't say. I'm assuming its was regarding the fire and Adams' death." "That's odd he was never charged with anything.." confused looks were shared by everyone "Fine I'll go." Charlene put her jacket on and said "I'll be back later. Maybe, with a husband not on bail." Charlene then walked out the door and outside to the car. Charlene made her way to the police station. Charlene walked into the station and spoke to an officer. "I'm here to lawyer for my idiot husband." "This way mam." the officer opened the door for Charlene to the room that Phil was being held in. "Phil. What the hell." said Charlene. "You don't understand Charlene. I technically killed a guy.." "Involuntary manslaughter at best Phil. He escaped jail and blew up a building he had it coming.." "Yeah the building he blew up and rebuilt but decided in the end it was worth moving out of it because it was still to dangerous to work in." "Why are you so testy?" Phil didnt say another word as a detective walked in an said "Sorry to keep you waiting. Mr Purcell. We're going to charge you with involuntary manslaughter." Phil didnt move as Charlene said "At best he didn't even point the weapon at him. He fired at a light fixture." "Thats understood mam, but it's still an offense to fire a weapon in a building and even though we found the gun there was no prints on it due to the fires intensity.." "What else?" "Unfortunately.. We just had a 3 hour phone call with the Australian Justice Office, and you will have to be extradited to Underline Prison." Charlene waving her arms about said "Underline Prison, is a female prison. Why is he being sent there?" "A new unit was built for those on remand after being charged with a crime. Phil is being sent to the prisons new unit while he waits for a court date." "That doesn't even make sense. Why not process him through the court here? Its easier and cheaper then sending him back to Australia." The detective then said "I don't mean to split up the happy families vibe you have going, but I will come back in a minute and file this paperwork through and make sure the transfer will be ready." the detective put handcuffs on Phil as he left the room. Charlene stood up and said "You said to me, if you went back home it would feel as if you've failed." "Only if I failed my career as a lawyer." "What happens if the charges get dropped? You will have nothing to go back to. You sold the farm, you sold everything you ever knew in Australia, and now you handed yourself in for a charge that can bring at least 30 years here and 10 there. Phil.. You're going to allow this?" "Don't count on it." "What is that supposed to mean?" Phil looked up and said "Look if you go back to the office, check my draw. I left something there and you should read it." "Why should I read it?" "There's paperwork. Power of Attorney to do whatever you like to the new building we are in." "I just don't understand this.. I really don't." The detective came back in with two officers and he said "Philip Purcell, I am formally charging you with the involuntary manslaughter of Felix Adams, and the reckless use firearm. You do not have to say anything..." Phil was read his rights as he was escorted out of the room as the door closed behind him, Charlene looked on and said "Shit!". Phil was then taken into another room where the detective said "This better not backfire Phil." "Does the Prison know?" "We had to pull a lot of strings to make this happen. Just remember the governors name is Vera Richards, and that this prison is one of the highest rated for violence and slottings. So be careful." "Why would you care? You wouldn't even know.." "Yeah we know. We're just extraditing you for the fun of it. Its costing us $40k to do so." "The money's been put in. I can't stay here anymore.." "Here or in Texas?" "Texas." "Ah yeah.. sure. Fuck me.." Phil was still in handcuffs when he said "I'll enjoy my time in the protection unit aye. They've been sent my resume.." "You know the fact is, at any moment your wife can and probably will look up your prison file.." "So? Its not like she's hopping on a plane and gonna fly down there." "You know.. Normal people, fly. Or move.." "I'm not normal am I?" The detective didn't say anything just as his phone rang. He answered it and hung up. "Your flights ready. Time to say goodbye." As Phil was being escorted by the detective and the guards, Phil was still in handcuffs up until he got to the plane. They were taken off." Phil rubbed his wrists as the detective said "All the way flight to Underline Prison. One way ticket, no turning back now." Phil smiled as the plane took off. Charlene arrived back at work confused and upset. "Where's Phil?" said Lopez. "He's gone.." "He's what?" "Phil, is being extradited as we speak. He got formally charged with involuntary manslaughter and a weapons charge." "One of those takes months. Phil must've told them months ago or something." "I don't get it. he just stared. You know he was getting read his rights and he didn't say anything, he just stared. He wasn't upset. It was like he knew it was going to happen." "Are you upset about it?" "I mean yes. But I can't stop him from saying stuff to the police.." Charlene then walked into Phil's office and saw that it was clean and none of his photos were on the wall, his desk was tidy and pencils and pens were sitting on the desk. Charlene opened the draw to find a folder. She grabbed the folder out as everyone came into the room. Charlene saw the letter and started reading it:

''"If you're are reading this anyone who works he it means, I am no longer around. Or my past has caught up with me. And if you are reading this now, you'd know that I am on a plane headed for home. Not just proper home, home. I went to the police station and made a deal with the authorities. I was already aware that being charged with killing Adams that they wouldn't stick and that no charges would come of it. but I changed my mind and went back and told them everything. As much as I loved Texas, and everything it stood for, too much heartbreak and pain is here for me. I saw death too many times and to many good people get hurt in the process. I couldn't live with myself knowing that I was around to long at 'The Firm', so I made the decision to get extradited to protect everyone there and make sure that the firm could do whatever it could do to survive. I want you all to know you were special to me, and that I'll never forget you.. Please note in the folder there is a letter for everyone. I'm sorry but if you are reading this out loud there is a signed copy of divorce papers whilst we're not over, I don't want to hold you back. So all of you love Charlene in this moment. I thank you for letting me be your friend for so many years. Love Phil." ''

Charlene put the letter down as she looked in the folder and handed out the letters to everyone as Charlene signed the papers and Davis said "Some story." "I guess this means we are done now. It's over" said Lopez. Charlene shook her head and told them to read the letters, the letters were letters of kindness and memories, telling them to remain strong and happy for days to come. Charlene looked up and said "We'll keep going. Stronger then ever."

As the plane landed, Phil was put back in handcuffs as he was put into the back of the police van with the two guards and the detectives, after an hour drive they made it to the prison, where the governor was waiting for them. The van stopped in the security bay and the driver go out and opened the doors. "I see we have our visitor." said Vera. Phil nodded as Vera said "Take him to my office. The guards and I will debrief with you." Phil's handcuffs were taken off as he was led to her office. Vera entered first with guards Miles, Wilson and two more guards sitting at the table. "We were surprised to get that email." said Vera. "Its not everyday you get an extradition to a female prison, stating there is a 'cell block 0' which we call Protection." Phil nodded and said "Texas, had so much hurt there for me. I lost so much. I met my first wife Dixie on the set of a TV show, we were together almost 30 years." "Impressive. So is your resume." "You've done corrections training, before, why?" "I was in the army cadets as a kid and they asked what job I would've loved to be in. I saw corrections, ended up being a lawyer instead." "So you are aware of corrections codes and legal proceedings." "Highly aware. Look I spent almost 32 years working Texas Law, and went to every possible prison and police station jail, my wife didn't even do that." "Says here you just got divorced." "Sadly. But it had to happen." as they talked some more Phil said "I don't want other prisoners to know that yeah I'm a male, in a female prison, but dont tell that I am going to spend two months in those cells before magically turning into a guard." "We dont. We appreciate the strange way you are going about this.." "Look for the next couple of months treat me like you do a female prisoner. I'll get on board with saying i'm studying corrections, and may be able to get in somehow." Vera nodded and said "Yes.." Miles then said "As weird as this will go down, what if the female prisoners want a shag? Half of them are Hep C, others are just gross." "That doesnt bother me. If they want a dick they got one." Vera rolled her eyes as she said "Well Ms Miles, better get Mr Purcell here, settled in." they all stood up as Phil was taken into the protection unit and given a room.

Season 1 Episode 2
As Phil was settling in to his role in prison he in the couple of weeks had been there made friends with the prisoners. Phil was eating lunch at in dining room and he was talking to Karen. "Yeah, I was a lawyer for almost 35 years, shit got real in the last couple of years." another prisoner said "I remember you. You were my friends lawyer during a case in Texas. Said you were nothing but good. What happened to make you get charged with manslaughter and extradited here?" Phil looked up and said "We put Adams behind bars, I was in the back room, got fined with contempt, and the stories said that he threatened those I worked with. He wasn't threatening them, he was gunning after me." "Shit.. that's intense.." "4 years later he escaped from prison, and I was scared, we all were, everyone I knew got out of the building, and then I was talking with the judge I was friends with. Next thing I know is the building exploded and Eddie was dead and I was hurt." Phil put his hand down and said "He tried to kill me, and I shot the weapon I had at a lighting fixture. That was the thing that killed him..I'm not a killer, all I wanted to do was protect those I loved." "You really cared for them didn't you?" "It went to shit.. I had to get knee surgery, and I decided that after everything. Though self-defense isn't a crime." Phil put his fork back on the plate and rubbed his face as he took his plate back over and walked out of the dining room. Phil was sitting in his cell when Miles walked up and said "You have a visitor Phil." "Who?" "Your lawyer.." Phil stood up and walked with Miles and said "Your cover still fine?" "Yes. 100%, just another criminal to those people." "Good. Listen, fights and shit go down every day at noon in the basement if you want in." "I ain't here for that Miles. Neither should you be profiting off of it.." Miles laughed and said "I've been doing it for years.." "Maybe.. but just know, if the Justice Department found out, you'd be a prisoner before you know it.." "You wouldn't..." "I wouldn't. But just know." as they made it to the visitor room, Phil was taken into a room where the door opened and Phil sat down. "Charlene, what are you doing here." Charlene smiled and said "Good to meet you as well." "I don't understand. Why are you here." Charlene showed a piece of paper and said "You lied to me. This paper was the paper you left in your office. A folder full." Phil smirked and said "That was the full letter. You deserved better then me." "No one was better than you Phil. Those 8 years we spent together, does that mean nothing?" Phil rubbed his face and said "You found what you wanted in Texas. You found steady and stable work.." "I already had steady and stable work. Everyone knew me Phil. What I dont understand is why you wanted to leave everything behind." "So you found out.." "I think what you did was insane. And probably illegal." Phil rubbed his face and said "I had to leave Texas. You know that. The law as a whole was intense in America, how it all went down. And how everyone was dying around me, suffering, and just down right bad luck. I put up with a lot in my life, but after what happened that day, I realised I couldn't spend another moment living in that building, working in that building non-stop, protecting and putting people behind bars." "Then why the hell did you keep that fucking gun?" "For protection like all those in the US." "Oh come off it. i have every right to use my 2nd amendment rights, but not blame them for crime.." Phil broke and said "I don't care what you think Charlene. I did this because I needed to. You know ever since that night I lost Dixie, I lost everything in my mind, and it took me years to get over it. And yeah that night I overdosed I was hoping that manager wasn't going to find me, that I would slip into the night..But she found me and I survived. That's the guilt of living." Charlene shook her head and said "The guilt of living.. Gee you really are backward thinking.. If I had overdosed I would've made sure that I went to rehab and got clean.. And now you decided it was a good idea to come to a prison and you know they are rife with drugs." Phil then said "Did you read that I was spending those months in protection to become a guard? I didn't plan on doing drugs Charlene. I can't believe you would think that.." "Wait, you wanted to become a guard?" "For the longest time. But what would I know.. I'm just a druggo who survived an overdose, and the loss of my first wife, plus my second one never setting foot in a prison to deal with prisoners who had legal issues. I did all that. Its why I became a lawyer, and why I probably wanted to quit those last 8 years. It was fucked.." "You're an idiot." Phil stood up and said "And this conversation is done, I don't want you to come back again. Do what you want with The Firm, and everyone in it. I'm done. With you. And with everything relating to the past in Texas." "Why?" Phil turned and said "If I had stayed Charlene, I would've hurt myself or others with my actions. It got harder for me to stay. I did this for me.." Phil opened the door as Charlene got up and hit the table with her hand. Phil was taken back to his unit by Miles. Phil was sitting on the bed as Karen entered his cell. "Do you plan on leaving here?" "As what?" "You're not studying anything in here are you?" Phil looked at Karen and said "You're not gonna tell anyone this are you?" Karen nodded and said "No. This is just between us." "I had planned to quit law years ago. Always wanted to work in corrections. When I was extradited I made a deal with everyone. I paid a $40 grand donation to the people." Phil continued telling Karen the truth and she said "I would've done the same thing. Except the drugs.." "That wasn't one of my best.." then the prisons PA system said 'attention compound, count will commence in 10 minutes.' Karen stood up and said "Everything's ok between us yeah? even when you become a screw, I reckon alot of these girls won't be happy, but they'll get over it." Karen left the cell as Wilson had a board with him and took count and the others left. "Mr Wilson.." "Purcell." He walked over and said "can I trust Karen.." "Yeah you can. You can trust her.. why.." Phil didn't say anything as Jackson said "You didnt.." "Yeah I did. I had to tell someone, their gonna find out anyway..." "Yeah a few more weeks from now.. Look dont tell anyone else.." Phil nodded as Wilson walked away. Phil went back into his cell and went to sleep. In the morning the PA called everyone for lunch. and Phil was called to Vera's office. "Governor." Phil sat down as Vera said "Well. I got word from your ex-wife that she sold The Firm and moved to Denver. Everyone you worked with has quit the firm." "And?" "She sent me this video." Vera produced her phone and showed Phil the news report. "Our breaking news tonight is, former Legal Firm known as 'The Firm' has closed its doors months after rebuilding, after her husband Phil Purcell resigned and left the firm. His current whereabouts are currently unknown and has been unavailable for comment but sources close to Purcell say they have tried to contact him with no luck. Ms Richards also said that everyone in the building would be compensated and offered jobs in the new law building. This is Hector Reporter, reporting live." Vera put her phone down and said "Thank god the media think that." "I guess so. But wont they know?" Phil meaning the prisoners. "Well if they say anything, and they hurt you, it is not our fault." "Yeah its mine.. And i'll take that." Vera stood up and said "I give you another 2 weeks with the prisoners then you join the wonderful world of a corrections officer." Phil nodded and said "Can't wait." "Phil, I read your medical file. Your injuries suffered in the fire wont stop you from doing your duty, will they?" "I haven't had trouble with anything. so no." "Yeah alright. But whatever happens, you are to do your duty." "I know how it works. I've worked in a team. I was apart of the cadets.." "so you've said." "Its bares repeating." Vera stood up and said "2 weeks." Vera asked Miles to come in and escort Phil back to his cell. Phil was locked in his cell as he looked into the sink as he heard people say "Yeah, I heard that report. Phil quit his job and somehow ended up here." "I don't blame him. For real yo. I lived in Texas, and it was a no from me.. That Firm saved my life. We do as Phil says yeah.." "Yeah sounds good." Phil sat on the bed as he lowered his head and then raised it and looked evil.

Season 1 Episode 3
Phil was sitting in his cell as he was reading a newspaper when he heard the cell door open. "Purcell. You have a visitor waiting for you.." said Miles. Phil stood up and said "Who is it?" "Someone else named Purcell." Phil rolled his eyes as he took the paper with him and said "No doubt its my brother.." Miles was walking with Phil and said "You didn't hear it from me, but Vera was pissed off at the paper article. Richards put this whole thing in danger. Lucky the press only got wind of you resigning from your legal firm." "Yeah I know. It's a mess." "After your done with your brother, Vera wants to see you." "Of course she does." Phil and Miles made it to a room where Derek was waiting. Miles opened the door and Phil walked and closed it. Phil sat down as Derek looked at Phil and said "It's not good news.." Phil put the paper on the table and said "Yeah so is this. No one was supposed to go to the papers, and yet Charlene put down I resigned and left Texas." Derek looked up and said "I know that. I couldn't stop her from putting it out there." "Then why didn't you try Derek?" "I'm sorry.. what? You're the one who was crazy enough to pay and get sent to Australia, and where did you go to.. A prison. Fuck me Phil." Phil said "I don't know Derek.." Derek crossed his arms and said "of course not." "Is there a reason you're here? Just to annoy me?" "No.." "What has someone died?" Derek nodded and said "Yeah. Charlene did." "What? When?" "A week ago. She was hit by a car coming back from lunch. I was going out to lunch and saw everyone, helped out, but her injuries were too severe, she didn't make it." Phil looked at Derek and said "You're not pulling my leg are you?" "No." Derek pulled out his phone and went into his videos. "This is the news report." Derek pressed play. "Breaking news tonight. A well known lawyer has died after being struck by a car coming back from lunch. The victim has been identified as Charlene Richards the ex-wife of lawyer Philip Purcell, Purcell's brother Derek released a statement saying that they will try their hardest to continue to work in these difficult circumstances and Phil has been notified. It isn't known whether Denver Lawyers will close its doors permanently or continue serving the public. This is Hector Reporter, reporting live." the phone paused as Derek grabbed his phone and put it back into his pocket. Phil rubbed his face and said "I can't do that again Derek. I just can't." "What face reality? Phil you have to.." "No. Not this time. I wont be pulled into permanent again. I spent a long time mourning Dixie and I can't afford to mourn like that again." "Phil, you're in prison now. What the hell is the difference." "A lot." Phil threw the newspaper at Derek and said "Read that.." Derek opened it and read it "After the building sold and everything worked out, Phil resigned and seemingly left Texas. He has since then been unavailable for comment, but sources close to Purcell say that he is taking some much needed time off after leaving his position at the firm. It is also been confirmed that Purcell had divorced Richards before leaving." Derek put the paper down as Phil looked up and said "Close sources? You are a source. You are my brother, Derek I didn't want the papers to know." "You tell the world where you are and they will leave you alone. gee." Phil stood up and said "Don't be stupid. The world finds out what I did, they'll burn me at the stake. I did this to get away from everything I was accustomed to. The losses, the old scars, everything I ever knew, I had to leave. Derek you don't know the half of it." "Who do you reckon watched you breakdown after Dixie and Julia died. I know what you went through and I don't blame you. but the way you went toward it was wrong. You could've just said 'I'm going to Australia' not 'I'm charging myself and almost breaking the law'. but you manage to surprise the rest of us." Phil pushed the table aside and grabbed Derek and said "Don't say anything to the media. they don't deserve this. When they have something interesting to say to me then I tell them I quietly got a job here. That is what I will see." Derek smiled and said "Of course. But I quit in Denver. Got a job in Gibbstown." "That's in Queensland. Why would you do that?" "At least to be near you. Look Phil I understand why you wanted to run the media is nuts in the states here they ignore you. I got a job at the prison there as a peer lawyer." Phil let go of Derek and he said "Fuck off then." Derek opened the door and walked out as Phil was taken out of the room and to Vera's office. Vera was furious as she slammed her hand on the table and threw the paper on the table. "I don't know what to say. Other then this whole operation is on a knife edge. Your wife is dead and your brother is a peer lawyer at another prison. If word gets out then we shut down." "Gov.." "No. I won't say I wasn't warned. But at another month, you will be part of the prison population. But I will put you in isolation for another week. There you can work on what you will tell the media when you say that you're not missing but have been working here all along. As long as your brother doesn't give you up first." "Told you so.." said Miles. Phil looked at both of them and put his head down as he said "Its not over." "It is now." "Put him in isolation, Ms Miles." Phil was taken out of the office as Vera swore. "This is so stupid. This wasn't supposed to get out. I'm missing?" "Well. Thats something else at least." Miles then handed Phil to Jackson who took Phil to the slot and said "I don't see why you didn't tell us that you left Texas after so much." "What was to tell. Trauma and loss, that was everything I did in Texas." Phil didn't say anything else as Jackson put Phil in the cell and said "Be careful around here. Vera on the warpath is dangerous. Miles is ok she's been bribe taker for so long she doesnt care about money just the size of her tab account. But she will protect you. One more stuff up and we have to take you out and too another prison." Phil sat down and said "Yeah, fair enough." "I mean it. Any more words get out, and you're cooked." the cell door shut as Phil said "Fuck.."

Season 1 ep 4
Phil had been in isolation for a couple of weeks and he was starting to get worried that he would never get out. As a prisoner was screaming from the down the hall Phil stood at the mirror in the cell and looked at his reflection, Phil then sat back on the bed and stared at the wall. Then Phil's cell door opened it was Wilson. "Times up." Phil looked up and said "What?" "Vera wants to see you. But you might want to put these on." Wilson had a basket with him with a different colour of clothing. "Not in here though. When you meet Vera she'll tell you everything." Wilson gave the basket to Phil and said "Lets go." Phil nodded as he stepped outside the doors and waited for Wilson, he shut the cell door and started walking with him. "I've been in there for 3 weeks, what happened?" "Nothing much. You were in there for a reason." Phil didn't say much as they got to Vera's office. Wilson entered first and then Phil was next. Phil put the basket on the table in the room and sat down as the blinds were drawn closed. "So.." said Phil. Vera turned around and said "We have a media crew coming in today for a rehab program on education." "And?" "This will shut the media up on where you have been. Reports are coming in you're somewhere in Taiwan. Now its time to prove yourself. I've gone through your files and everything checks out. You've got the right qualifications as you said you studied and even did a few hours in corrections when you were with the cadets... I believe you are ready." Vera opened her hand and a name badge was produced, she put it on the table and said "Get dressed.", Phil undressed as Wilson said "Was it necessary for us to watch this Vera?" Vera nodded and said "No, but you were staying anywhere.", Phil got his pants on and then the shirt and then tied the tie and put the jumper on over it. Phil then placed his jumpsuit in the basket as Vera picked up the badge and walked over to Phil and said "Welcome aboard, Officer Purcell." Vera clipped the badge onto the shirt as Phil said "So I spent almost a month in isolation for some media experiment?" Miles nodded and said "It was for your own good. Some of the prisoners complained that because you weren't around they had no eye candy to look at. Gonna be a real shame when you walked out there and they are vying for blood." "Shut up Diane." said Wilson. "All I'm saying is going from a prisoner to a screw is huge in the prison grapevine. But you told Karen when you first arrived your plans. She was happy for you and everybody knows, mostly everyone that your ex-wife is dead and your other one had cancer. You got away with a crime. everyone's happy.." "And you get away with fighting club.." Vera looked at Miles and said "You're still running that?" "How the hell did you know?" "The prisoners talk Miles. To me they did. I had a few offers of oral sex by the way." "Not surprised, considering this is a women's prison and some of them are horny all the time.." said Miles. "Is it true though, some turn gay in prison?" said Phil. "Yeah it is. But who can blame them. The only company they got for their sentence. These girls turn into family. So if they turn in here it doesn't bother a lot of them. On the outside its kinky and sexy, on the inside love is love." said Vera. Miles then handed Phil his belt and his radio. "That won't bother you will it Phil?" Phil looked as he was putting on his belt and said "Course not. What do you think those noises are at night.." They laughed as Vera then seriously said "On to business. Your call-sign is sierra 5. I am 1, Miles is 6 and Wilson is 2. By now you already know what the codes are." Phil nodded as Vera was telling Phil more about the codes and responsibilities of staff. It was a 10 minutes conversation. "Time to get down and dirty. Welcome to Underline." said Miles as she opened the door and Phil nodded as he walked past her and Vera said "Don't forget this.." Vera handed Phil his security pass and said "Don't lose that." Phil nodded as continued walking. Miles said "Your shift begins now and goes for 15 hours. You start in the exercise yard and end your shift during night lock down. If you're lucky." Phil nodded and said "Just good to be out of that isolation cell." "I bet. Look you know this place well by now, by if you need me I am 6.. sierra 6." Phil nodded as he tapped his pass into the main hall of the prison. "It's rec time. You ready?" "As I will ever be." as they got outside the women were running around playing basketball as Miles and said "Be best to stand over near the doors. Good luck mate." Phil nodded as he walked around. "Hey look who got out of isolation!" said Karen. Phil waved as he stood near the yard entrance. The murmurs from the other ladies were "what a hunk" and "that's insane." Phil entered the yard and talked with another officer "Good to see you out Purcell. Never thought you'd be here. With us." "Lucky for me." "What are the girls saying about your radical transformation?" "Not much. A few said something. I couldn't hear them." Phil rubbed his face as a prisoner was being brought in. "This one is yours." Phil walked over to the gate and opened it for Vera and the new prisoner. Vera then said "Thanks Phil. Just remember you have a statement to make in an hour." Phil nodded as he walked with Vera and the new prisoner. "Who've we got?" "Kelly Kingram. 25 years old. Caught speeding and resisting arrest." Phil nodded as she was taken in to the room to do details. Phil then said "i'm way off, but didn't you play soccer in Milan a few years ago?" "Yeah I did. Got injured again fucked up my ankle pretty good in a club game 2 years ago. Never played again." "You've been sentenced?" "10 years." "That gives you a lot of time to think in here. Just keep out of trouble." Phil was done as Miles took over. Phil's radio then went off. "Sierra 5, this is sierra 1 requiring your assistance in the media room." "Sierra 1 on my way. sierra 5 out." Phil found his way to the media room, where he found Vera setting up for the media. "You look overwhelmed.." said Vera. "You would be as well. Vera how do you do it?" "Just standing up and doing the job. This is very different to sitting in a court room. This is the gritty side and its not pretty." "Yeah right." Phil rubbed his eyes and said "When my shift is over, I have nowhere else to go." Vera looked up and said "That's been taken care of. When you came over a place had been set up for you.." "Where?" "With me." "Excuse me?" "I have a spare room. I built on an addition years ago. You can sleep there." Phil smiled and said "That's kind of you thank you." "All your money. Where did that go?" "It went to legal fees. I was a good lawyer, but I spent most of my cash on dumb things. Yeah like overdosing on morphine and spending a ton to bring myself over here. Everything else went to charity." "Maybe you can shave when you finish your shift." "Oh who knows." Vera's radio then went off "sierra 9 to sierra 1, the media for the education summit are here." "Thank you. let them in. also bring in a few of the prisoners used for this education course." "sierra 1 understood." Vera looked at Phil and said "The media might eat you up. But I need you to come out of the other door. Surprise the media, this is for you as much as them." Phil nodded as he stepped outside into the corridor, Phil sighed and rubbed his face. As the media arrived, Phil was listening to Vera speak as she said "Welcome all. Now today is about education and one person today has been doing that here for the past couple of months. And its been great. Today, speaking on behalf of everyone involved tonight is Phil Purcell." Phil heard this and he entered with several prisoners. The murmurs became louder as Phil said "Today. Education is one of the most powerful weapons. While a prisoner is serving time, they are given limited chances when they are released to gain extended education or employment. Now most of you know I spent my career as a lawyer, and I've seen what some criminals do for their education to reeducate themselves. And over the past couple of months I have witnessed this, they try their extreme hardest and it has been a wonderful experience to watch. Education is important and very important part of rehabilitation during incarceration." Phil stepped down to applause and some of the prisoners started talking and an hour later the media left, Phil answered a few questions but didn't give much away. Phil and the prisoners helped pack up the room as Phil had to leave. Phil went into the boiler room and closed the door as he sat on the floor and held his head in his hands. "Tough day huh?" said Miles. Phil looked up and said "I think I made a mistake doing this.. Did you see the way the media looked at me? I don't know what they're gonna write, but it wont be pretty." Miles knelt down and said "Phil. Corrections is one of the hardest jobs in the world. And its people like you who understand what the law is like. Sometimes prison is better then the outside. They come back. You tried today. What they say doesn't matter anymore. You need to believe again Phil. In yourself, thats the only thing you need to believe in, is yourself." Phil wiped away a tear as Miles helped him up when they almost had a moment but they were called to lunch. As they walked to lunch in the staffroom, Vera said "The media is positive from today." Vera turned on the TV and the media was talking about the prison. "Today's education summit from Underline prison was headlined by former lawyer turned prison officer Phil Purcell who stated that education was the most important thing for a prisoner to learn while they are incarcerated." another report came up all about Phil. "while he didn't speak to the media today, Phil Purcell former lawyer in Texas was sporting a new type of suit. A prison officer uniform. Mr Purcell didn't give much away but he did say this ''"I resigned from being a lawyer to do something I wanted to do for a long time. what are you going to do? job shame me for it? I had left Texas to come home. Underline gave me a chance and I grabbed it. I made no contact with the media for a reason."'' when asked why he never responded to any media calls he simply said that there was nothing to say. Hector Reporter, reporting live. Vera turned the TV off and said "What's done is done. They will now leave you alone." "Education.." said Wilson. Phil didn't say anything as he walked into an empty office and slumped to the floor. Vera later found Phil and said "Common lets go." Vera took Phil home and said "Phil. You were overwhelmed and thats expected." "You don't get it Vera. I'm a bad person. The media wanted this. I wanted better. I am so conflicted I don't know anymore." Vera nodded and said "You spent 3 weeks in isolation being treated like a prisoner you end up with a job and explained today to the media why you never answered. You had nothing to say. And if you believe you had nothing to say then you go with it." Phil looked up at Vera in tears and said "Its insane. Who does what I did. I still cant believe it." As Vera comforted Phil, she eventually got him to shower and shave while she prepared dinner.

Season 1 ep 10
Phil was standing on guard with Miles, as Phil rubbed his face, Vera was walking past and said "Mr Purcell." Phil nodded as he said to Miles "You ok here?" "Yeah its all good, go." Phil nodded as he walked over to Vera and followed her. "What's this about?" "The media are asking questions again." "That's the media Vera, it happens they snoop, they pry they do everything." "Phil, they're on to you." "So what?" Vera stopped as Phil kept walking. "You don't say anything to the media and you're fucked. This whole operation is over." Phil turned around and said "I couldn't care less Vera." "The media are already here. They're outside. They vying for blood." Phil walked up to Vera and said "I'll tell what they want. But then this doesn't get discussed again. Because I can't keep on going back to the past Vera." Phil walked away as Vera stood there. Phil was standing in the entrance way looking outside as the media were standing outside the prison. Phil took a deep breath in as he went outside to face the media. When Phil made it there was a barrage of questions. Phil then said "Everyone listen. You can't keep on doing this. This is a prison and you are in the path of our brawlers." "Mr Purcell why did you leave Texas with no warning? And why did you turn up here?" "You want the truth? I assume that's why you are crawling here all the time. The story is I couldn't cope after the building fire I barely survived. That building was my home for almost 30 years. I was a lawyer for 34 years, I worked on one of the most colourful TV sets of all time and met one of Hollywood's it couples and worked for them, yeah I started my own Law Firm and yeah I put people behind bars and set some people free but I wouldn't betray the trust of those I work for." "Mr Purcell is it true that you overdosed on morphine 6 years ago?" "Yes thats true. And it has nothing to do with anything." "Mr Purcell, a news report said you handed yourself in for a firearms charge, how true is that?" Phil nodded and said "That report was true. I did hand myself in. And for that that charge was dropped." "Mr Purcell.." "Alright thats enough. Look listen, write whatever you want to write. But I came here to Australia for a new life, and the fact was after the charges were dropped I was informed that a job was on offer here, and I grabbed that offer because I thought it was a great offer. As a kid I was in the cadets and studied corrections I even went for a couple of shifts as a junior officer. I came here to become a fully fledged officer. I privately studied as a guard and I even put myself into isolation to see the mind of a prisoner, and then I passed and became a prison officer, not the glamorous lights of a lawyer but this gives me a chance to better myself and become a better me. Give me as much hell as you want, but you can't keep on dragging up the past." "Mr Purcell" said a familiar voice. "Yes Hector?" "Is it true that you extradited yourself to come here from your weapons charge?" Phil folded his arms and said "No. That is not true. I don't know where that piece of information came from but its not true." "There was a payment made though?" "Of course there was a payment. The payment was a donation to the police department for the dedicated work they do." another question was asked about his time in Texas, but Phil ignored it and said "Fuck off. I have work to do. And just get lost from here" Phil turned around and went back inside. Phil went into the entrance and he looked back to see the media leaving. Phil sighed as Vera was standing in the door way. Phil ignored her and walked back into the compound. Phil went into the staff room as the TV was on and reporting on Phil's press conference. "Colourful former lawyer Phil Purcell fronted the media today and to tell them to 'go away'. Purcell admitted that he trained when he was in the cadets in corrections, and that after the fire incident in Texas he couldn't cope with it anymore, he flew out here and donated a large sum of money to the Texas Police Department. All this reporter has to say is that Purcell made a change in his lifestyle, and this isn't worth reporting on anymore, he mourned privately the love of his life and moved to further his career." The TV cut off as Phil ate lunch. As Miles walked in there was no else in the room as Miles said "You did good out there." "Are you sure? That was awful.." "You telling them to fuck off was amazing." Miles went over to Phil and stood behind him and kissed him on the cheek. Phil smiled as he said "You're the only one here saying that." Phil stood up and he turned around to Miles. "You've been the only one whose believed in me." As Phil and Miles shared a stare, Vera came in and said "The media finally left." the moment was gone as Phil sat back down. "Good." Phil stood back up and took his plate over to the sink and washed it. "Phil.." said Vera. Phil looked over. "How come media for you is so easy?" "It's not. Its a waste of time. Nothing against it but if you have nothing to hide you tell them that." Phil walked over to the door and opened it as he went back out to the yard. As the prisoners moved around Phil put himself on the wall, and then all hell broke loose. A fight started at the basketball hoop. "This is sierra 5 calling all available units theres a fight breaking out in the yard." as Phil signaled other officers to come over "Sierra 1 to sierra 5, careful there may be weapons." "Copy that." Phil and the officers shouted "break it up" as Phil grabbed a prisoner from another and moved them aside. As Phil was grabbing another prison he was hit in the back. Phil fell but got up quickly and took down the prisoner. Phil was hit again this time in the face. Phil looked to see who it was and he grabbed the prisoner and took them to the slot. Phil went back outside and helped another officer take in another prisoner. Phil then said to the one who started it "What was that about?" "Oh you know Phil.." "It's officer Purcell. What happened?" "The usual. Things got a bit rough." "And it turns into a fucking riot?.." Phil walked away as Vera walked in and looked at Phil. "What?" "You're bleeding, Phil." Phil touched his face and saw the blood on his fingers. "You gotta get to medical. " Phil nodded and said "This happens." Phil and Vera walked to medical as Phil said "Listen Vera. I don't need someone walking with me to medical. I know this place." "I know you do. I know you feel like you hate me, but you gotta get it straight. You told the media you did time for possession back in Texas." Phil turned to Vera and said "Texas is old news Vera. And I am done speaking about it. That's what I know. It was 1 month I spent for doing possession. That was after a coma. It puts it in to perspective. Vera. So stop bringing up my past. How about we talk about yours huh?" Vera crossed her arms as Phil said "I thought so." Phil walked away to medical. The nurse cleaning up Phil's face said "No breaks. surprised you weren't flattened." Phil agreed and said "Always something." "I think we can get away with strips. It's a small cut." as the nurse did it and finished up, Phil thanked the nurse and Phil left. Miles was waiting for Phil in an empty room. "Big bad boy." "What?" "First scar on the job. Its a good one." Phil walked up to Miles as they shared another stare. Miles leaned in and Phil kissed her with passion. The two started kissing. "We barely know each other.." "You've been here for almost 8 months. You know me." said Miles. Phil laughed and said as he kissed Miles. "You were listening to me when no one else would.." "You got that right.." as they heard a knock on the door they stopped kissing and started talking about work as Wilson entered the room. "Surprise, surprise alone in the only room in the prison without a table." "What do you want Wilson?" "Vera gave me this to give to you." Wilson handed Phil keys and said "It's house keys for a property she owns. She wants you to have it." Phil said "Fucking Vera." Phil left the room and went to Vera's office. "What was that about?" said Wilson. "He doesn't want anything to do with being near Vera at the moment." "Why?" "Who do you think called the media? Vera's getting to Phil." "Shit.." said Miles. As Phil told the lady outside the governors office to leave Phil entered Vera's office and threw the keys back at her. "You can't help yourself.." "I'm offering you a house." "I told you I didn't want anything more to do with that house of yours. The things you told me. Vera, I can't do this.." As Miles and Wilson made it to the office as Phil said "You pushed the media onto me. And I just can't do that anymore. I told you. You blew your chance. I am going to work here. With or without your support. Because at the end of the day, you want me to leave. Back to Texas. But I am not letting you win this one." Phil put down the pen as he left the room. Vera looked at Miles as Wilson said "You just have to push don't you? Can't leave anything alone. Fuck me Vera you're so stupid sometimes." "He's on the verge of another breakdown if you keep on doing this." Vera stood up and said "Yeah.." "Yeah. Its over Vera." said Miles. "Leave him alone.." Vera looked at them both and said "Its fine anyway. The media aren't to fond of this prison anymore.. Phil did a good job."

Season 1 ep 15
As Phil was getting ready for work, he put on his uniform as he checked his phone. He had a message from Miles that said 'Vera on warpath, called a meeting. Get here soon.' Phil put his phone in his pocket and grabbed the keys to his car and headed off to work. Phil had moved in with Miles because he no longer wanted to stay at Vera's house. As Phil pulled into work, there was extra security waiting to escort him inside. Phil made it inside to the board room. Where Vera was holding files. "Vera, what the hell is with the security outside?" "That's for the head of the board. He's coming in today." "Why?" said Phil. "You should know.." Phil looking confused said "No, I don't. I just came from home into work why the hell would I know?" Vera calming down and saying "Something about a complaint made a while was brought up in a meeting. If they decide to look into it, I'm cooked." "Serves you right then." said Miles. Vera folded her arms and said "Lets see what the board says." as the door opened the head of the board entered the room. "Mr Hampton, welcome." "Shut it Vera." "Bad mood much.." "Everyone sit down." as everyone did sit down Hampton said "Unfortunately, after we looked into the complaints about Vera, that we had to look into everyone else. The only people without complaints were Purcell, Miles and Wilson. Which makes me confused on why three people are the only people. The worst complaint is harassment, and obviously this is an intense environment and rash decisions are made everyday. But the one thing you should know is that I wont take it." Vera rolled her eyes as she said "And did you find anything?" "Yes.. Against you Vera." "Me?" "Surprise, surprise." said Phil. As Hampton went on he discussed his disappointment with the treatment Vera had given her staff. "Now. I'm open to not sacking you Vera. But you're this close to losing your job. You're on egg shells, and if you're not careful you will be just another officer." Phil laughed and said "I bet someone feels small now." "Shut up Phil." As Phil was about to say something his radio went off. "Sierra 8 to sierra 5 I request your presence in the yard. Bit overwhelming with one guard here." "On my way sierra 8." Phil stood up and said "Excuse me, I have a job to do." Phil then left. "He's settling in very nicely.." said Hampton. "You think?" said Miles. "I believe, that he is the right sort of broken to work in a place like this. Great addition." As the meeting continued about budgets and new inmates Vera finally said "This is a prison. And we house prisoners. For a life sentence or 3 months, these guards protect us and them from each other." Hampton nodded and said "Well, I'm off. Have to be elsewhere. Just remember what I said, you're on eggshells. And I have a great idea on a replacement if you keep up the complaints." as Hampton left so did a few of the other guards. Vera stood there as Miles was about to leave and said "Miles.." She turned around "What?" "Tell me that wasn't you." "Why should I?" "Because.." "You'll fire me? Please Vera, all you do is manipulate people, as you did with Phil." "I can control him it's easy.." Miles laughed and said "I don't think you can." Vera's eyes widened as she said "Don't tell me you've fallen for him.." "Yeah. I can say I have, and so has half the prison." Miles opened the door and said "Time to end your war with Phil, Vera before someone gets hurt." As Phil was roaming the corridor he ran into Vera. "Vera.." "Phil." Phil then said "That was all me Vera. That meeting was all me." "I knew it.." "You think you can control me. You're so wrong. I worked all my life with criminals, and you think you can manipulate me? Get me to do media.." Phil opened the door to another room and got Vera in the room to. "I can make another phone call get Hampton back down here and tell him everything." said Phil as Vera said "I can tell him everything about you to." Phil laughed and said "I made contact with one of my lawyer friends in Texas. In fact.." Phil showed a video to Vera and said "You can't use my extradition reason anymore.." Vera watched the video. "A donation made by Phil Purcell saved this Texas police department from closure, the police commander stated that Mr Purcell was grateful to the department that helped him during his career that it deserved some good luck." "We were grateful to Mr Purcell, he straight up offered a donation to the department, and in return we gave him a new career as a prison officer in Australia." "It was rumoured that he used a charge for weapons to be extradited, how true was that?" "Completely false. he was never charged with any crime due to lack of evidence. Mr Purcell saved this department and he donated to a lot of money to a lot of departments. He doesn't deserve that disrespect." Phil paused the video and said "That was the video going around law firms. And that's what I did." "Bullshit. I know what you did, so does the board and everyone who works here." Phil smiled and pushed Vera to the wall and said "They do, but they're aren't gonna believe you. Because that interview went out today. Everyone's watched it already." Phil turned around as Vera said "Did Charlene believe that? Bitch probably didn't believe anything you ever said.." Phil turned back around and in anger punched Vera in the stomach. Vera winded by the punch, slid to the ground as Phil stood over her. "You never talk about Charlene like that. She did a lot for everyone. She saved about 70 people from the needle, you don't get to say that about her or me." "I can, get you done for assault." Phil said "I know." Vera looked up confused as Phil helped her up. "But you wont. Because we both know. I have nowhere else to go and you can't afford to lose this job." Vera nodded as Phil said "But you have to drop this Texas thing. I can't afford to think about that on the job either." Vera nodded and said "I let that go way to far. I'm sorry. I didn't realise it effected you that much.." "It did. It was fucked what happened, but I can say I stabbed a bank robber in self defense and watched him push the knife further in. This is after I got shot 3 times. Luckily the bullets hit fat and a bit of muscle. But things happen. And I remember the firs time I was injured on the job. I was shot in the knee. Still have a funny walk sometimes but those scars remind me that I can be better." Vera finally getting her breath said "Shit.. I'm sorry.." she said meaning it. "Thats a lot to take in." Phil nodded as he walked over to the door. "Just remember, we can take each other down, but you're done coming after me for my Texas life." Phil left as Vera wiped her eyes and said "shit.." As Phil was walking past a prisoner, he Wilson talking with one. As Karen walked past Phil and Phil looked at everyone. Phil leaned against the wall and took a breath in as he watched a prisoner collapse. "Shit.." said Phil. Phil and Miles rushed over to a prisoner and Karen pressed the panic button. Phil checked for a pulse and began CPR. "What did she take?" "I don't know.." said Karen. "Kaz. What has she taken? Is she clean?" "She's got a heart condition." "What?" "High blood pressure.." "Shit" said Phil. "This is Sierra 5 I need an ambulance immediately. We have a code blue." the siren alarm to still going on. "Copy that sierra 5." as they continued CPR for another 10 minutes, the ambos finally took over as Phil and Miles looked on. They tried for another 10 before calling it. "Time of death. 12pm." Vera was looking on as she said "What was it?" "Sudden cardiac death.." said the doctor. "Her blood pressure went up and shot out the heart. She wouldn't have made it to hospital." The doctor walked over to Phil and said "You tried mate. You did good." Phil nodded as Vera went with the ambos. The lockdown was still in place, so Phil went to the rec room for some quiet. Wilson was there as well and said "It can be tough, your first death in prison. You never get over it.." Phil looked at him and said "How do you cope?" "You don't. You make jokes and talk with the others. Sometimes you won't be able to save everyone. But that's why we do what we do." Phil nodded as he decided to go back into his shift and outside.

Season 2 ep 1
Phil was roaming around on guard duty with many of the other guards as Vera, Wilson and Miles were having a private conversation with Hampton. "Phil's struggling with the job. He needs to go." said Vera. "Richards, why must you have a go at Phil every time we have a meeting like this?" "He's not ready for this type of job and we all know that." "What makes you think he isn't handling this very well? I mean look." Hampton pointed at the screen and it showed Phil breaking up a fight and a guard taking them away. "He's handling himself." "What about the code blue a couple weeks back? First death in prison." "Vera, everyone is different." said Miles. "I think he took it rather well. He has been around death all this life. It does get easier.." said Wilson. Vera then got out her phone and brought up and article. "Yeah it does get easier." Vera then said "Phil sent me this last night. We were talking about his time as a lawyer, and he brought up an interview he did." Hampton grabbed Vera's phone and threw it at the wall. "That's enough Vera." Hampton crossed his arms and said "We are all aware of what happened in Texas. We know we were informed about everything about him in his file. Which I assume you never read. I'm right aren't I?" Vera nodded as Hampton said "This is harassment Vera, you know that. Phil has done nothing but show how much he can handle. And that's what we need. We don't need you prying into his past and showing us all these interviews and reports, because his ex-wife Charlene was a well known lawyer, and his first wife Dixie he met on a TV set. Phil put his heart and soul into law and I am over this, he donated a huge sum of money to the police department and was offered a job in his home country, he grabbed that opportunity and he is making a new life for himself." Vera sat down and as Hampton continued. "Furthermore I believe it is of the best interests of this prison for you to step down until further notice." Vera looked up and said "To be honest. I deserve that. All I wanted to do was to know Phil better. He told me about getting shot in the bank and how scary his overdose was. Losing those people close to you is without a doubt a scary thing. I just couldn't let it slide for me. I had to look into his past for my sake.." "You took it too far like always Vera. You'll be demoted to senior officer." Hampton turned to Wilson and said "You'll be acting governor and Phil will be your deputy." Vera took off her badge and put it on the table and put the other one on. Miles smiled and said "Good. For now we can keep the peace at least." Hampton picked up his radio and said "This is sierra 18 calling sierra 5, can you please come to the governors office." Phil answered the call "sierra 18 I am on my way. sierra 5 out." "He really has to work on that.." said Vera. "And you've got to work on not being such a bitch.." said Hampton. Phil made it to the office and Hampton said "Come in son.." "What's this about?" Vera looked at Phil and said "I owe you an apology. For months I've been hassling and annoying you about your time as a lawyer and life. I've been ordered to step down because of my behaviour.." Phil looked at Hampton and said "Wilson has been made acting governor and you will be acting deputy.." Vera looked up and said "It won't be acting. It'll be permanent." Hampton looked at Vera as she said "I've been at the top for 10 years. and in that time you become hooked on getting things done. I believe I got hooked trying to bring you down.." Phil said "Are you sure about this?" "You've proved yourself. Got your first battle scars and prison code blue under your belt. I think you're perfect for this." Phil nodded as Hampton held out the deputy badge and put it on Phil's jumper. "Don't we need to tell the prison guards?" said Vera. "Nope. They'll know soon enough." As Phil was about to say thank you his radio went off. "Sierra 3 to sierra 5 requesting your assistance in the dining hall." "Sierra 3 copy that.." Phil nodded as he rushed off. Phil made it too the dining room where the prisoners were eating lunch. "Congrats on the promotion by the way.." said the guard. "How'd you know?" "Vera has this habit of not turning her radio off when she's done with the radio call." They shook hands as he said "Vera stood down?" said a prisoner. Phil looked at them and said "Yes. As of now Wilson is the governor, and I am the deputy." as Hampton, Miles and Vera watched on from the screen, Vera could hear the conversation. "Phil, Phil Phil." "Alright that's enough. Eat your lunch." "She lost us long ago mate. She deserves it. I bet the look was of those 'I'm sorry, but I know its my fault.. but clearly I know your past looks..' was it?" Phil didn't say anything as he nodded. "I knew it." said the prisoner. "Can't help herself. Hope Hampton is putting her under investigation.." Phil again said "He probably is. Now eat lunch." Hampton looked at Vera and said "Turn your fucking radio off." Vera did that as Hampton said "You're going to be on the visitor entrance for the time being. No radio. you will be under investigation and possibly suspended. This ends now Vera." Vera nodded as Hampton said "The fuck are you waiting for? Go!" Vera grabbed her phone and placed her badge on the table in disgrace. She closed the door and walked to the visitors center. Phil was roaming around the dining room when the PA went off. "Attention compound, attention compound, phones are available for use." As everyone finished eating and cleaned up they left the dining room, as Phil left with the guard. Phil was walking past the phones when Miles bumped into him. "Hello there Deputy." Phil smiled and said "Got some time?" "About 5 minutes.." Phil gestured toward the stairwell. As they walked to the stairwell and opened and closed the door, Miles hugged Phil and said "Well done mate." Phil smiled. They then kissed and hugged before going their opposite ways. "Sierra 1 this is Sierra 10, requesting your presence in the detention cell. over" the call on the radio came through. "Sierra 1 to 10, are you available?" the call went again two more times before Phil said "Sierra 10 this is sierra 5 has one answered yet?" "Sierra 5 no sierra 1 hasn't." Phil wiped his brow and said "Sierra 10 can you authorize another officer to do it?" "can do sierra 5." Phil walked around the bottom floors and then made the call. "Attention all units sierra 1 is not answering any radio calls, please be on the lookout." Phil ran to the office as Hampton was looking at the monitor. "Anyone found her?" "No.." said Miles who was breathless said "The guys in the visitor center haven't seen her." Hampton said "This has to be a joke. She can't have gone far.." Phil said "Look she might be a bitch, but if anything has happened to her this wont be good.." "Sierra 8 to sierra 5 I've found a radio near the laundry.." "Who's is it sierra 8?" "Sierra 1's boss." "Alright keep looking." "Lets keep looking.." Phil went back out and checked the isolation unit. Phil was checking all the rooms, when he saw a body on the floor. "Shit.." Phil ran over to the body and he turned them over. "Shit.." said Phil, it wasn't Vera, but a prisoner it was Kelly. Phil checked for a pulse and there was none she was dead, Phil then looked around "Attention all units. Place the prison on lockdown. We have a code black." "Sierra 5 confirm, who is the deceased. It's Kingram.. She's been bashed, she's dead. Isolation area." as the alarm blared 'attention compound, this is a code black, return to your units.' as the monitors from the governors office showed the prisoners in the yard lining up against the wall, Phil was searching for Vera. "Vera, you killed. You're just as bad as them." Phil was looking around before he was hit in the head with a book. Phil fell to the ground in a heap. "Oh fuck.." said Phil as he looked and saw who it was, it was Vera. Vera stood over Phil and she pulled out a knife and hovered it over Phil's chest. "I worked hard for that job." Phil then said "Hard work doesn't involve bullying your colleagues." "That's the thing.. You came from the world outside these walls. You put these guys in prison, not caring.." "I was a lawyer not a judge.." "You don't judge them now do you?" As Hampton watched the screen he said "Sierra 6, he's on the floor in the isolation unit. Be warned Richards has a weapon." "Copy that.." Miles went around the other way to the isolation unit. Spitting in his face as she was talking Vera said "I crossed the line many times.. And now you're gonna join your dead wives.." Phil grabbed Vera's arms and tried to hold her back as much as possible before she punched Phil knocking him out cold. Miles was standing behind Vera and grabbed hear by the hair and pushed her against the wall before slamming her onto the floor and handcuffing her. "I always wanted to do that.." "Happy now?" "Shut the fuck up Vera." Hampton and Wilson made it to Vera, Phil and Miles. Phil was helped up by another guard and taken to medical as Vera was arrested and taken away. Wilson was with Phil in medical and said "What happened?" "CCTV would've picked it up. Chick has a powerful fuckin' swing Wilson. She hit me with a book. and then fuckin' punched me.." Miles walked in and said "CCTV checks out Jackson. She killed Kingram.. We now have to call her next of kin. An officer murdered an inmate. For what?" "Revenge" said Phil. "Revenge for fucking what?" "Losing her job.."

Season 2 ep 2
As Phil shut the door to his office, he was talking with Karen as he was making a statement. "What was the code black about? Who died?" "One of the young prisoners. Kingram.." "You have got to be kidding me.. She was only 22. Who?" "I shouldn't tell you this, because its currently a police matter, but fuck it. Vera killed her." "Why the hell would she do that?" Phil shrugged his shoulders. "Wilson's still with the cops and I have a blistering headache." "She attacked you as well?" "She tried to kill me yeah.. She held a knife to my face. She was after revenge." "But why kill? She knows that this is the only prison for those too dangerous to be in minimum security." "I know.." "The moment she comes through those gates, she will have a target on her back." "I know.." "How long could she be in for?" "The assault is at least 8 years, murder 20." "28 years is all she gets?" "Kaz, look she's gonna be pissed at all of us." Phil grabbed the phone and said "Look I need to make a call." Karen nodded and said "Just remember what I said yeah?" Phil nodded. Phil called the number of Kelly's next of kin. "Hello, is this Kari Kingram? My name is Phil Purcell I'm the Deputy Governor here at Underline Prison. I need you to be sitting down for this. It's not good news." Phil delivered the bad news to a cry on the phone. "I'm truly sorry for you loss. If you need anything more the hospital will take care of you." as the phone hung up Phil put the phone down and his radio went off "sierra 5 this is sierra 6 request your assistance in the education corridor." "Copy that." Phil got up and opened the door to his office and went to the education corridor. "I just got off the phone telling a family their daughter is dead.. Please tell me you have something else?" "I dont think so.." they started walking and Miles said "Wilson called, they've taken Vera straight to court. She's cooked." Phil rubbed his face as Miles said "You were a lawyer, what does that mean?" "Normally? If they go straight from the station straight to a courthouse it means she had no chance. She's only been in custody for about 3 hours, this place is still in lockdown and will be for a while." "So she's coming here I take it?" "Yeah.." "She wont last her sentence." as they made it back to Phil's office the TV was going, and it was on the news. "We have breaking news. We cross live to Rodeo Courthouse." "Thank you Jess. I am standing here at the courthouse where former Underline Prison Governor Vera Richards has been sentenced to life in prison, after killing an inmate and assaulting a guard earlier today. A lock down has been in place at the prison since the incident has happened and the family of the deceased has been notified. A statement has been made by the prison by the deputy governor who in his statement. 'Everything goes against our former governor and the way that she acted today. No governor, deputy or otherwise should be making the call to a family saying that their daughter died in prison. This prisoner was 22 years of age, had her whole life ahead of her that was cut short today, by Vera Richards.' no further comment has been made but it is expected for Ms Richards to be taken to Underline Prison and into protection upon request. But according to Governor Jackson Wilson, Richards will go into general population and have no special treatment. Hector Reporter, Rodeo News." The TV cut off as Phil looked at Miles. "Straight into general? fuck.." "Wager it Phil.." Phil looked at Miles and Miles said "100 bucks, she doesn't see out her sentence." "I'll have that bet." Phil's radio went off and so did Miles' "Sierra 5 and 6 you're needed for prisoner escort. Richards' brawler just came back." the both said "Copy that." they shared a quick kiss before leaving the room and going outside. Wilson got out of the brawler and said "Good work. She goes into isolation first. Then general in 2 days." Phil nodded and so did Miles. As they stood there as guards took out Vera. Vera was pushed by them and escorted to isolation. "Life in prison." said Wilson. "No chance." As Vera was put into isolation, Phil closed the door with Vera inside the cell and Phil standing outside it with Miles and Wilson and said "We have a bet. 100 bucks, you won't last your sentence." "You know as much as I do I will survive." Phil laughed and said "You have no support in here. All these women want you dead. And if they attack you I don't think the guards will step in." "How's the power. Knowing that your deputy?" "That's the thing, Vera. You have no power anymore. What you did, that phone call was the 2nd hardest thing I have done in my life." "And the first? burying two wives?" Phil looked at Wilson and Miles using hand gestures to tell them to go. "The thing is.. you didn't watch both of them die Vera. You read it in the paper. I loved both of them. Dixie my first wife died of cancer. She thought for the last 3 years of her life, I was dead. I wasn't there for Charlene and I regret that. But what I don't regret is letting them be apart of my life. And that's what it is about." "You think that. But your weak." "The only weak one is you." Phil walked up to the glass and said "No one hurt me more then myself. And this time you lost your mental battle with me. Wilson has your job, I have the deputy ship. I win." "Don't be so sure of yourself. I saw the footage of you and Miles. Sharing kisses, but not going at it. Are you afraid of commitment? Something a little more substantial?" "Not all relationships are about sex. You wanted me to live with you when I first came out to Australia. You pushed it, and I said no. You dug into my past and saw a lot of shitty things I did. But all that did was make me a better person." he said loudly. "Does she know you love her." "My love life is none of your fucking business." Vera insulted Phil one more time before he said "Never once have I heard such dumb comeback. Don't forget you're here forever on the other side of the bars. You killed someone you attacked me. I clearly don't hold a grudge for your campaign against me. So yeah, I win." Phil then walked away as he could hear prisoners vying for blood. Karen pulled Phil aside and said "What the shit is that? She's in protection?" "Only for two days. She'll get released into general. The bet is she wont last her sentence. Tell everyone. She's powerless." Phil walked off and to his office where Miles was waiting for him. "Diane." "Phil." Phil closed the door and sat on his desk, before pulling something out of his draw, it was a condom. Miles smiled as Phil stood up and kissed her passionately. "What about Wilson?" "It's my office, nothing's happening at the moment. This is our time." Miles kept kissing Phil as she pulled his pants down to around his ankles and then his underwear was next. Phil had an erection and he put on the condom as the two continued kissing. Phil took off Miles' pants and they both got onto the floor under the table and started intercourse. They went slowly for 10 minutes and they enjoyed it. They stopped when the phone in Phil's office stared ringing. Phil sighed as they both got up without pants. "Phil Purcell. Ah hello Mr Kingram, Ah in 5 minutes will be fine." he hung up the phone as he took off the condom and tied it and put it into the bin. He pulled his pants back up and helped Miles put her's back on. Phil kissed Miles and said "Next time, not at work aye?" Miles smiled as they kissed again and Miles fixed her hair. As they were both presentable in that five minutes they talked about prison duties when John and Kari Kingram were in the office. "Thank you Ms Miles, that will be all." "Your welcome Mr Purcell." Miles walked out of the office and went about her duties. "Mr and Mrs Kingram." "I would like to know why our daughter's killer gets put into the same prison?" said Kari. "This is the only prison to house dangerous prison who cannot be kept in minimal security. We had no choice." "There's always a choice.." "Look. I'm sorry for what happened to your daughter. But I want you both to know, Richards made a lot of enemies. We have intel she won't last her sentence. Maybe a prisoner would push her down the stairs.. Or she would OD.. either way she's got no support here." "If and when she does die. I'll join that bet." they spoke for another 10 minutes before they left. Phil was then called into Wilson's office and they talked.

Season 2 ep 3
As Wilson was sitting in the office, Miles was called into his office. "Officer Miles." "You wanted to see me?" "I wanted to see how you were getting on, after the events of the other day?" "It'll never feel the same. No officer is ever the same after an event like that." Wilson nodded and said "Of course.." "Did you call me in here for anything else?" "Ah yeah.. A new officer arrived 2 days ago. Needs the ropes shown to them.." "Why is it my duty to do that? They should know the ropes already.." "New prison. According to her file she transferred here from a Maximum security prison in Queensland." Miles rubbed her face and said "What else?" "That her previous job was a school teacher.." "I thought it was a bit strange the first time I heard about people going into corrections from education... Then again people who are footballers somehow get careers in admin work. And then again, I had a mate who was a dentist who went in corrections. Its a strange career path for sure.." "Perhaps got sick of looking at teeth." "She's waiting in Phil's office." Miles nodded as she left the room. Miles walked over to the deputy's office and opened the door. The person was sitting in the chair turned facing the wall. "Officer. I'm Diane Miles." as the chair turned round Diane then said "Oh you have to be kidding.." "Hello, Diane.." Diane sat down and said "It's been awhile.. What are you doing here?" "Change of pace.." "Of pace? I got read your file just 5 minutes ago. You worked at a Super-max Prison, and before that it was Wentworth and 10 years as a teacher, you don't get a change of pace. A prison career is go, go, go." "Where's Julia?" "I don't know. Haven't heard from her in ages, but I assume she's okay. She's busy with her career as well." Jackie stood up and said "You want the real reason I'm here?" "They found out about your underground fight club?" Jackie looked steely eyed and said "They knew about. For years and didn't give a fuck, the board knew, even at the super-max where everyone wants to kill each other you let them at it. No.. I transferred myself because of the fucked up way things were done. We lost officers to injuries to many times, prisoners escaping all the time. I had a mental breakdown the last time someone escaped." "I reckon you should've stayed in teaching.." Jackie looked down and said "Teaching was the reasons I went into corrections. I never told anyone else this.. I was in my 5th year of teaching, and some kid came to school with a knife and stabbed a kid right in front of me. I held that child's wound. I tried to stop the bleeding. The kid died before the ambulance got there. That other kid was charged with murder and sent up to Super-Max. in the space of another 5 years, the school I worked out was labeled one of the most dangerous in the country. 32 students were stabbed with knives or sharp sticks, the food technology staff couldn't actually use anything to cook with because of the threat. It took its toll." "I bet it did.. But why did you stop teaching." "I was a History Teacher going into work not knowing if I would get home." "So.. You went into Corrections, where your likelihood of death doubled?" "I'd rather die knowing I've done what I can to help these people.." "But you ran a fight club!?" "I know!" "What was the twist of fate?" "The kid who was arrested for murder was sentenced to 17 years in prison. My first day on the job at the Super-Max and he's got an escort." "No way.. He recognized you?" "Oh yeah.. He did alright. He then purposely killed several more inmates. Before someone hot-shotted him in the showers. That day I think I actually felt safe at work knowing that prick was dead.." Diane rubbed her chin and said "Thats hard.." "Most school students feel that having an education is like being in prison. Little do they know the half of it. 6 years of learning and then the HSC is nothing compared to what a lot of those people in here do. They're in for murder, rape, assault, and you got school kids complaining life is to hard, my assignments late, my boyfriend dumped me... Fuck all that shit. I left teaching so I didn't have to hear it anymore. I can tell you when I quit teaching it burned a few bridges for sure." "It always does." as Diane sat down Phil made his way into the office and said "Oh am I interrupting something?" "Just the fact my sister transferred herself here from one of the biggest Super-Max prisons, to feel 'safer', which I don't blame her on.. and a conversation about education." Phil smiled and said "Fuck education.. I went to Law School to be $145k in debt. I finished paying off that loan 2 years ago." Jackie said "See what I mean?" "I do now.." "Education is important of course. I'm just glad I burned those bridges..." Phil then said "I got word on the new numbers base. I'm still 5. Diane is still 6, you'll be 7." "Sierra 1 is Wilson." "I have the feeling I'm replacing someone.." "You are.. The old governor. As an officer." "What did she do?" "You never watched the news?" "Hadn't the time." "She attacked an officer and killed a 22 year old inmate. She's cooked." "Ah fuck.." as they continued talking the sound of thunder was going off in the background. "Sierra 9 to sierra 5." "Sierra 5 copy." "We have angry prisoners in the dining room. Request assistance and backup." "Copy that sierra 9 on our way. Attention all units, backup has been requested in the dining room. Code red. I repeat code red." as the alarm blared and Phil turned to Jackie and said "Welcome to Underline." as they ran out of the rooms into the dining room, there were chairs being thrown and voices booming. Phil stood in the middle of the room and said "ENOUGH.." they all looked at him and said "I bet I know who's responsible for this.." he walked over to one prisoner and grabbed her arms, releasing a shiv in the process. "Slot her.." the guards took away the prisoner and Phil held the shiv and said "Someone's been hurt, so get yourself to medical. If not bleed everywhere." Phil gave the shiv to an officer and said "All of you against the wall." they all did, and revealed a person lying on the floor. Phil walked over to the body, and felt for a pulse. "You're lucky no stab wounds, she's still alive." Diane reached for her radio and said "sierra 6 to medical help needed in the dining room." "Copy that sierra 6." Phil turned the body over and said "You can't just leave each other alone huh? Have to kill the laggers? or hurt them as much as possible." Jackie walked over and said "judging by the wounds to the neck, she may be paralyzed." Phil looked at her and said "How could you know that?" "I took a course in first aid. And wound/assault recognition. " Phil nodded and said "Impressive." Wilson made his way to the dining room the same time medical did. Wilson then said "Lockdown straight after she's taken to hospital. And cell tosses." The prisoners complained as Wilson said "What's the diagnosis?" "from the looks of things. It looks like she was thrown onto the table, and the impact broke her neck somehow. They were going to shiv her as well. for good measure.." "Nothing says good measure like trying to shiv someone with a broken neck.." Phil stood up and so did the rest of the guards. The prisoner was taken away and Phil stood there. A few hours latter they were called into Wilson's office. "Confirmation. She was slammed into a table at just the right angle. Broke her neck." "I guess she's not coming back here then." "She's considered no longer dangerous. She woke up, unable to move her arms and legs. Complete spinal injury." "Gee." said Jackie. "Doctors aren't optimistic. If so she'll be moved to a hospital and kept there for good." Phil stood up and said "I don't get what all of it was about?" "A freak out probably. all it takes is one bad mood." "I need danger money.." said Hammer. "You don't need squat Hammer. You need to be on the look out for anything similar." they nodded as the meeting went on.

Season 3 ep 15
As Phil woke up in bed next to Miles, they smiled as they kissed. "Sleep well?" "Always." Phil stretched out as he stood up, Miles did the same and Phil went toward the kitchen to make breakfast. Phil was in his underwear as he turned the TV on for the background noise. Miles was getting dressed as she sat at the counter. "I've been thinking.." said Phil. "I think the other officers know we're together." "It's not that hard Phil to figure out." Phil smiled and said "I really do love you." Miles did up her shirt and said "Do you think you could do that again? Fall in love I mean?" Phil chuckled and said "It took a lot to get over the losses. And it still hurts, but you're the first person I ever opened up to like that.. I mean that couple of weeks ago in my office, that was my dick thinking instead of my head." Miles stepped to Phil and said "I don't mind the action. But not in the offices. Those walls have eyes.." "We work in corrections, what more do you expect." "We make jokes, we survive." As Phil was eating breakfast, the news went to a breaking story. "Yes we have breaking news in Texas tonight." Miles walked over to the TV and turned it off. "Phil. That's one thing you need to let go of. Texas" "Yeah.. I know.." Miles opened the door and said "Come on. We don't want to be late." as they went to the car Phil opened the door and said "I could do it again you know. Fall in love again." "I know you could. I know you love me. You don't have to show it. You're kind and caring, and I've seen how you treat prisoners. With respect. In a job like ours, it takes guts to do that." Phil nodded and he said "I was a lawyer, I had to have that." as they got into the car and drove to work it started to rain. They made it to work, they walked into the staff room together and put their stuff in the lockers. Wilson walked in with Derek. "Derek, what are you doing here?" "We need to talk.." "My office." said Phil. As Phil and Derek walked to Phil's office there was no talking, it was quiet. Phil opened the door and let Derek in. He closed the door and said "What? Why are you here?" "I just got off the phone to Moran." "And?" "It's not good." "What happened?" Derek cleared his throat. "Eddie's dead.." "Eddie Adako? How?" "Someone shot him in broad daylight outside the courthouse. He never made it to hospital.." "Shit.. is that what that breaking news was this morning?" Derek nodded and said "Yeah. Most likely." Phil got out his phone and searched the web for a video. He found it and played it "A brazen murder outside the Texas courthouse has taken the life of judge Eduardo Adako. Adako who had a career spanning over 30 years was shot and killed in an act of defiance by a member of the public. The shooter was arrested 2 hours later before committing suicide in his holding cell. Police have asked for leads. Former Lawyer at the firm and current deputy governor of Highmoore Prison Derek Purcell released a statement saying it was a loss for the greater good and a loss for the people of Texas and working with Adako was a career high and his loss will effect everyone he has worked with. That news again Judge Eduardo Adako dead at 68. Hector Reporter reporting live.." Phil put his phone down and said "This Hector Reporter guy is on every piece of breaking fucking news its ridiculous." "What about Eddie? He got fuckin shot!" "What can I do Derek? Of course I worked with him for many years.." "Many? He was the main judge we had." "I can't do this.. Look Derek, Eddie was a good bloke, a great friend. Life threw him a curve ball." "It threw him a bullet!" "Everything in Texas throws a bullet at you.." Derek stood up and said "This isn't like you.." Phil stood up as well and said "You know nothing about me." "Maybe I don't. But I can tell that woman who you walked in with you fallen in love with." Phil laughed and said "You may be my brother, but you failed to understand.. I needed to leave Texas. And I've been trying for months to forget what agony brought me here. But you and Richards keep bringing it up, its hard to forget. So what if I have fallen in love, what are you going to do about it?" "I can't do anything. But you left Texas and basically killed Charlene when you left." Phil tensed up and said "You don't get to use that anymore. You don't get to use anything anymore." "Tell me. If you have the chance.. would you have taken that gun and shot Adams?" Phil didn't say anything as he paced the room. "Your silence says what I need to know." Phil hit his table and said in a menacing tone. "get out. return your visitors pass and get out." "You let down a lot of people when you left." "Like I give a fuck. I either had a choice to live and die in Texas or make a change in my life. I chose life." Derek walked over to the door "You chose to ignore your past." Phil walked up to Derek and threw him against the wall. "You chose corrections over legal aid. You walked away from that for this?" Phil then said "This.. This is more rewarding." Phil helped Derek up and opened the door. "I was right. I don't know you. Maybe it's better that way." Phil pushed Derek out. Derek was walking to the centre to leave. He handed over his pass as he was pushed aside by Wilson. "Don't think about changing his mind. He's done wonders for the prison. If you didnt notice his badge, he's the deputy.." "What?" "He doesn't have to answer you anymore. He's living his life, like he wants to. Free." Derek to annoyed to say anything gave back the pass and left the prison. Phil was standing in the corridor when he got a call. "Sierra 6 to sierra 5, requesting your assistance in the dining room." "Copy that sierra 6." As Phil walked to the dining hall, he was struck in the back of the leg and he fell down and yelled out in pain. Phil looked up to see some prisoners taking Phil hostage. "What the fuck this is?" "Shut up Purcell. Just keep calm." Phil was dragged by the prisoners down the stairs to the slot. "You're not gonna slot me are you?" "Yeah.. We are.." "What did I do?" "We like you and all, but this one is for us.." Phil had his handcuffs cuffed to his hands and the door to the slot was open. Phil was thrown in there and the door with his keys were thrown in for good measure. "Sierra 5 are you there?" Phil struggled to reach his radio but he got it before dropping it.. "Far out.. are you for real?" Phil slumped down to the ground and sat there as the alarm for the compound went off. "Attention compound this is a code red." Phil sighed as his radio went off. "Sierra 6 to all units a riot has broken out in the yard, all units requested.." Phil didn't respond. "sierra 5.." said the radio. "sierra 5 respond." Phil kicked his radio over to him and said "Sierra 5 copy. I'm a bit tied up.." "Say again.." "I was ambushed, they've handcuffed me. I'm in the slot.." "Sierra 5 where sending someone down.. then you go to the yard.." "Copy that." as Phil sat in the cell, it was Wilson who came and opened the door. "Made yourself a home.." Wilson walked over to Phil and released the cuffs and helped Phil up. "It's not your fault.. Richards, has gone mental. You up for that?" "Taking on Vera?" "You better believe it." As Phil put his radio back on and his keys back in his pocket he said "Lets end this riot." Phil and Wilson ran to the yard as Miles said "Enjoy the slot?" "You wish.." as they moved in to control the riot. Phil pushed off prisoners and told them to get back to their cells. As Phil was moving around and subduing prisoners, the others were providing guard. In the middle of the yard there was a body on the ground. Phil rushed over to the body as the riot subsided. "Hey guys.." Phil yelled. The guards turned around as Phil walked over to the body on the ground. He rolled the body over. "Holy fuck.." said Phil as he fell down, the body was Vera's. Wilson walked over to the body and said "They killed her alright.." Phil looked up and said "They did that alright.. They used shiv's and stabbed her in the gut. This was their plan." Phil grabbed his radio and said "Sierra 5 to base, requesting the police and the morgue car. We have a murder." Phil put his radio down as he stood up. "I guess, some of you owe me $100 bucks." they turned. "You made bets. She didn't live out her sentence.." said Miles. Phil rolled his eyes, as the police came and took the body away. Hampton followed them. "Who died?" "Richards." said Wilson. "They got her in the riot. They gutted her. Stabbed her with shivs." "Doesn't surprise me." "Put the prison on lockdown for 72 hours. One woman will be slotted. and it wont be for murder but assault.." Phil looked at Hampton. "Yes I did hear you being slotted." "Ah great everyone knows.." Phil walked away as he spotted the prisoner who attacked him. He caught them. "Karen, you attacked me.. why?" "We all wanted a piece of Richards." "I have to slot you for assault, you know?" "Yeah I know." as Phil was taking Karen to the slot Hampton said "assault?" she nodded. "Alright.. Who stabbed her though?" "Theres a ton of people who wanted blood. Maybe everyone.." Phil put Karen in the slot and then went to medical to check out his knee.

Season 3 ep 16
"I don't understand this. How did those prisoners lynch her in five minutes?" said Hampton. Wilson sat down as Phil and Miles were there as well. "I still don't know. Look we had a breach, Phil ended up in the slot and injured his knee when a prisoner kicked him. For all we know, they did that to get at her." "How is the knee Phil?" "torn ligament, I'll survive." "What did you tear?" "Grade I MCL tear." "Should you be working?" "As I said I'll survive. It doesn't hurt." "Diane.. I hear your sister joined us yesterday in the riot. First day on the job.." "Yeah. So?" "You talk to her?" "Yeah I did. Julia's worked in corrections ever since she was 20. She knows what she is doing." "Bring her in.." Phil got his radio out and said "Sierra 5 to sierra 11 you've been requested to come to the governors office." "Copy that Sierra 5, on my way." Phil put his radio down and said "There's a lot to talk about. The prison is still on lock down and the weapons we seized from a few prisoners. We need to cell toss." "I agree." as a knock on the door happened and Miles' sister Julia walked in. "You requested to see me." "Ah Julia." said Wilson. "You made a quiet entrance yesterday, and made some slots yesterday after the riot. did you see anything regarding the death of the former governor?" "No sir. After I slotted a number of prisoners, we had to push those who weren't involved in the fight over to the wall, and thats when someone yelled out there was a body. A bunch of us where watching on those prisoners were watching on as well." "The CCTV shows the same thing. But 5 minutes of footage are missing. The system crashed at an opportune time, and no one will lag about who got involved in the stabbing." Hampton then said "Just say the person you slotted yesterday for attacking Phil did it. The board need answers." "Where is Kaz?" "Still in the slot." Phil then said "Let me talk to her. I know laggers are more likely to get attacked, but you can't get attacked in the slot." "You're crazy." "Well it can only happen once can't it?" "Whatever you believe. Just get a confession." as another knock on the door happened the door opened and an officer made his way into the room. "I hear you are going to question a prisoner." "Yes. Look until I get that confession, you can wait outside the slot area and wait until she says she did it." Phil then said "Lets go." Phil and the officer walked to the slot as Phil told the officer to wait with the guards and watch the screen. Phil walked into the slot and opened the cell Karen was in and the door was closed behind him. "You messed up Karen.." "You shouldn't have called for help.." "I had to. You attacked me and a whole heap of other guards." Kaz laughed and said "It was too late, by the time you got out of the slot, we already killed her. Richards blackmailed a lot of us. And she never had the chance to tell anyone any secrets because no one would listen to her." "She was the former governor.." "She needed to be taken care of." "And so you killed her. You took a life for what? To assert dominance?" "I never took anyones life. But I guess you had the bet with your crew to end her life." "And you took a bet didn't you? see who get the last shiv wound in." "You bet I got the last stab wound right in her neck, and I don't regret it. She was dangerous." "You know.. She may have known the prison. but that doesn't give you the right to end her life." "She put you in isolation. She broke you.." Phil stood up and said "She may have dehumanized us. But she knew how to survive. All you did was handcuff me and put me in here." Phil went over to the door and the officer was standing there with handcuffs. "Karen Johnson I am charging you with the manslaughter of Vera Richards." Phil stood as the officer arrested her. As Karen was escorted by both Phil and the officer, the prisoners spat at Karen and called her names. As Karen was taken away Phil walked into the yard and no one was in there and he sat down in front of the garden. Hampton walked over and said "You did it." back in the office Miles was talking to her sister. "How come you left the other prison?" "Do I need to get into that?" "Answer me.." "Fine.. A whole heap of guards were let go after a security breach." "Tell me you weren't apart of that breach." "No I wasn't. I was in the right place at the wrong time. There were builders fixing stuff and a whole heap of prisoners somehow got onto the roof. A few of them jumped, and a few came back to life and went back to their cell." "So what?" "I was told there was a job here and I took it. I came here silently because I didn't need the induction." "I get where you're coming from.." Julia sighed as she said "I saw the way you looked at Phil. Do you love him?" "We're together. Of course. Things are good between us." As they continued to catch up Phil was still talking with Hampton. "Yeah it was weird though. I got thrown into the slot and I had all my thoughts with me." The radio then went off "Sierra 9 to all units we have a code black in the shower unit.." "Copy that sierra 9. Understood."

Season 3 ep 20
"Alright everyone. Out. Cell Toss." said Phil as he put gloves on and another guard watched him. Phil looked through stuff, high and low. "This one's clear." Phil walked into another one and did the same thing. Phil looked in the pillow case and he found a shiv. Phil grabbed it and walked out. "Anything to say Boomer?" "It's a tough gig in here. That's not mine.." "I have to slot you anyway." "Oh come on. Just once sir.." Phil passed the shiv to the guard and took Boomer with him to the slot. "Boomer, you're coming up for parole soon, why are you doing this.." Boomer didn't say anything. As Phil put Boomer in the cell, Boomer said "You don't know what it's like boss. Out there, there is no one." "Try me." "My lawyer told me I was a lost cause. I'd end up back in here. It's why I keep getting charged with stuff." "Listen Booms. Those people on the outside, have nothing until they lose it all. I watched many crims being sentenced and they are much happier in prison then they are in the public. Because these people are family in here and they treat you better, isn't that right?." "Yeah basically.." "That's shit and you know it.. You want to know something. Many people in the US criminal system are in prison for years just waiting for a trial, there is no 'time served' loophole, you either get sentenced or walk. And a lot of people in Texas I lawyered would've rather went back to prison. Life is so hard for them because they can't find work, they can't do anything. People here, have a second chance." "My family is dead Phil, and no one out there would take care of me anyway.." "Fine have it your own way. Don't say I didn't tell you." "Phil.." Phil faced Boomer and said "It's Mr Purcell." As Phil and Boomer stared, Phil's radio went off. "Sierra 6 to 5 requesting your assistance in H2." "Copy that. On why way sierra 6." Phil put his radio back on as he walked to the cells. "What's the matter Ms Miles?" "Keep this on the down low just for the moment." Miles told the other prisoners to go away as they had to check the cell. Miles opened the door as Phil went in. The prisoner was dead and Phil looked at Miles. "What happened?" "I called out her name... Went to check up on it and the smell was overpowering for me." Phil felt for a pulse to make sure there was none.. Phil grabbed his radio and said "Sierra 5 to command, we have a code black in H2. Possible heart attack." as Miles said "She was 65 years old." "It wouldn't have been a natural heart attack thats for sure." "That's prison for you." as the siren blared "Attention compound.", Phil said "I just hope you aren't turning a blind eye to drugs Diane." "I slotted 3 people in the last week for freak outs Phil. I wouldn't turn a blind eye at all." "We gotta get down to the supply of these drugs." "You're telling me something we've tried to get on top of for years." as Wilson made it down with the medical crew, he said "What was it?" "Drug related heart attack probably.." said Phil. "She's not a user was she?" "A prisoner could've slipped it into her food. You know what they're like." "I'm so sick of this. Order a search." "We did a cell toss and slotted Boomer for a shiv. No drugs yet." "Hampton's gonna flip.." "Hampton's already flipping." said Hampton as he appeared from behind. "Code blacks are Underline's appetite. Other prisons have less." Hampton walked up to Wilson "As soon as the body gets done for autopsy. Call me and charge the idiot who gave her the heart attack." Hampton walked off as he said "Fuck off Julia.." in the background. Julia walked over to the guards and said "Boomer's requesting to see you Phil.." "Why?" said Wilson. "We were talking about her dumb decisions. Reckon she's gonna tell me some more.. She can wait." as the police and medical took the body away. Phil walked with Miles to the slot. "I see you brought a friend. Who was the code black?" "Someone in your cell. Heart attack probably." "Who?" "Young." "Oh no.." said Boomer. "Young? She was clean, she had heart problems for years, someone finally get her." "Boomer, tell me it wasn't you." Boomer "Nah. I was in the slot remember? You put me here.." Phil's radio then went off and so did Miles'. "Attention all units requesting you be on the lookout and be extra vigilant, we've had a death related to drugs. We're sending a body to the coroner Heidi Young." Phil looked at Boomer and said "Boomer. Tell me, the shiv. We're you going to kill her?" "You gonna get me for attempted murder?" "No. But did you plan to?" "We went to school together. I hated her she was a bully." "Booms.. The only thing revenge does in prison is get you life." "I'm in here for 15 years. Already on my 5th year, so what's life.." "So tell me.. How'd you end up in prison?" "I attacked Heidi broke her leg and caused a brain injury.. Got 15 years.." "And how did she end up in here?" "Assault." said Miles. "So who finished the job?" "You ask me. How do I know.. Prison was even ground.." Phil turned around and Miles said "Even ground... my ass. You wanted revenge so you injected her with drugs and made it look like a heart attack." Phil turned back around and said "You're nothing but a liar." "One day. I'll come after you Phil. And I will hurt you." "It's Purcell. And no you wont.." Boomer laughed and said "I still remember that day. You were knocked out cold by Vera. She hit you with a book." "And punched me in the face. End of story." Phil turned to walked away and Boomer said "We all laughed for 2 days. Not everyday.." "Shut the fuck up Boomer." Phil turned and went straight up to the glass. "You're in there for weapon holding. You don't have any rights and you said you'd rather be in prison then outside. So we can take this outside if you want.. Fight right in the carpark." "Phil calm down." "I wouldn't waste my time on you anyway. No lawyer would get your charges dropped or reduced." Phil walked away angrily and Boomer said "He's right you know..I'm a bad person.." Miles looked and then walked away. As Miles walked to the main corridor the door opened and Phil grabbed her arm. "Dangerous.." Miles smiled as the two kissed and kissed and kissed. Until they stopped and went back to work.

Season 4 ep 10
As Phil took off his belt in the staff-room and put it in his locker, Diane walked past and said "You should be glad you're knocking off. I pulled a double.." "Why?" "I like it when you're not around. Means I'm technically Deputy Governor.." Phil smiled as he kissed Diane on the cheek and said "Of course. I take that as my excuse to leave" he said as he laughed. Phil put his phone in his pocket and closed his locker as he went out the door. Phil walked out into the carpark and saw Jackie there, Phil walked over to her and said "Morning?" "Morning. Phil." "Hey look if I'm giving out weird vibes can you tell me?" "You always give off weird vibes. It's what you do. But somehow Diane's fallen for you and those vibes went out the window ages ago." Phil chuckled. As the two walked around the car-park having a chat, a car was driving in at 40 ks. "Phil I need to get into work. catch you later." as Phil was about to walk off Jackie saw the car out of the corner of her eye. "Phil, watch out!" before Phil could react, he was on the ground and Jackie was grabbing her leg in agony. Jackie had pushed Phil out of the way and got struck by the car. Phil looked up and said "Jackie, are you alright?" "Nah.. I'm not.." the driver of the car then speed away, as Phil tried to get up. Phil got his phone out of his pocket and rang Wilson. "Governor Wilson speaking.." "Wilson, we have a code black in the carpark. I repeat code black.." "What the hell happened?" "We were talking to each other and out of nowhere this car came. She pushed me out of the way..." "Who's she?" Phil went over to Jackie and said "Officer down." as Wilson put the phone to the side he grabbed his radio and said "This is Sierra 1 to medical." "Medical?" "We have an officer down in carpark." Phil was listening to the conversation through his phone. "I repeat officer down in the carpark, send out a team, ambulance has been called." "copy that sierra 1 we are on our way." "Here that Phil. They're coming." Phil said "Hurry." and he hung up the phone. "Jackie run down what you think you've got?" Jackie looked up at Phil and said "My ankle I think its broken.." "Any neck pain/back pain?" "No.. I took most of it on the lower half." "Why did you do that?" "You would've done the same." "You're right I would've.." Phil felt his wrist and he said "Yeah I've done my wrist.." Phil held his wrist and popped it back in. Phil grunted as he said "Look I'm going to have to look at the leg.." "Fuck.." as the medical team and Wilson were running toward them Phil yelled out "Give me the scissors. I need to see how bad this ankle is.." they got to Phil and Jackie, and the doctor gave Phil the scissors and started cutting the pants. As Phil put the scissors down, he pulled up the pant leg and they saw it. "That's mad.." said Wilson. Phil then said "We have to align it.." "Ya what?" said Jackie who was being given pain medication. "Look.. I was in the cadets and our medical first aid training was real people. an ankle injury like this, if not aligned straight away can have serious effect later down the road." "Mr Purcell. We're not in a hospital, this isn't the right environment.." "How long have you worked in corrective medicine?" "30 years.." "Then you know as much as I do. It needs to be done." Phil instructed two of the medics to hold her ankle, Jackie grabbed Phil's hand and said "Phil.." Phil looked at Jackie and she said "On the count of my 3.. You do it." Phil nodded and said "Just hold my hand, its gonna be okay.." "3..2............1" the medics in unison re-aligned Jackie's ankle to a scream and cry. "Remember to splint that.." said Phil as Phil looked at Jackie and said "You alright?" Jackie nodded as Wilson said into his radio. "Someone please get into contact with the police. We have a hit/run at the prison. Send them everything from the carpark. We need to find this arsehole." Wilson put his radio down and knelled to the ground. Phil as comforting Jackie and he said "You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt her you know.." "I know. You're a good man.." "You wouldn't say that if you read into my past.." "Oh don't worry.. We all did at Wentworth. We thought it was hilarious that you spent 3 months in the slot just to prove a point." "It wasn't a point. It was moronic." Jackie then said "It's anything but ordinary working in a prison." Phil nodded and said "Of course." Phil looked up to see the medics cleaning up wounds and splinting the ankle to keep it stable. The moment Phil looked back Jackie was in the start of a seizure. "Shit.." said Phil. "What said Wilson?" "She's seizing. Roll her over. Time!!!" Phil looked at Wilson and said "The fucks that ambulance?" Phil was handed an oxygen mask so he put it on Jackie's face as the wailing of sirens got closer. "Has she got history of seizures?" said Phil. "No.. None that we know of.." "Could be related to the accident." said the nurse. "The body shuts down sometimes and the brain cuts out. Its common in stuff like this." as the seizure stopped Phil said "How long was that?" "3 minutes and 5 seconds." Phil grabbed Jackie's shoulders and said "Jackie can you hear me? Jackie!" as the ambulance arrived and parked right in front of them Phil said "She's out cold guys. Breathing is shallow." the paramedics got out the spinal board and Phil said "She's post seizure, so fluids.." "Mr Purcell. We know.." The paramedic looked at Phil's hand and said "You've broken your wrist? She pushed you outta the way." "We work in a stressful environment. we do what we can for our family.". Wilson came up to Phil and whispered in his ear "Julia and Diane both heard, but they can't leave because they pulled doubles. They made you proxy." Phil looked at him and said "Fuck.. How do they both pull doubles?" "It's what they do.." "Alright then.." Phil turned to the paramedics and said "I have to come with. I'm proxy at the moment." they nodded and said "You can get that wrist checked up on as well." "Yeah right." Phil helped them load Jackie into the ambulance and he hoped in the back. He nodded at Wilson and Wilson stared blankly. The ambulance drove off. Wilson and the medics cleaned up the carpark and he said "I hope they find whoever did that. I also hope they never come here again.." Wilson's phone rang and it was the police. "Mr Wilson, we found the car that did the hit/run. It's been found torched. Driver dead." "Suicide?" "Likely had second thoughts, was too much for em.." "Cowards way out.. injure someone and then go off and do that? I got no words for how pissed I am.." Wilson hung up and went back inside. He called a meeting saying that Jackie was in hospital and Phil was there as backup support and he also injured his hand. "What about the prick who did that?" "Cops found the car. Torched. Driver still inside." "Fuck.." "Serves the prick right." said Julia. "What did the footage show?" said Diane. Wilson then played the footage. "This is how it happened. Phil and Jackie were talking, then this arsehat, comes out of nowhere." the footage then showed Jackie pushing Phil out of the way, and the driver driving off. Wilson then said "This bit gets a bit harder." Wilson played the further footage of Jackie having a seizure and Phil putting the oxygen mask on. "Holy shit.." said Diane. Wilson then said "I need to know. Does she have history of epilepsy?" "No.. She's never had one. Ever." "medics reckon it was accident related, but this prick who injured two officers, wont face justice.. The driver was well known.. Police got the call about the car found it ID'ed the body and it was a suspended driver. As Jackie was taken in for scans, Phil was having his wrist x-ray'ed and the doctor said "What happened?" "We were having a chat. Next thing this car comes out of nowhere. All I remember is falling to the ground and seeing my colleague in front of me. She had broken her leg.. She said that.." "How long before the seizure? About 10-15 minutes. They had to put the brace on." "How long did the seizure last for?" "3 minutes 5 seconds." Phil looked down and said "I just need to know if she's ok. I'm the proxy.." "We're aware. You're also the proxy for many of the others in the prison you work at.." Phil looked up eyebrow's raised and said "Yeah, that would be right, because I'm an ex-lawyer.." as the x-ray was being looked at the doctor said "You did a good job. Hurt and still managed to give first aid. It was a good call on the leg and the oxygen for Jackie." as the doctor was given the report for the x-ray he said "Ulna is broken. everything else is fine." "Can you plaster it up?" "Yes we can." he showed Phil his xray and said "Small break here, but we wont have to realign, just cast it up and she'll be good." as Phil was taken into another room to get his arm cast, he was done in 10 minutes as he waited outside the ICU for word. 5 hours later a doctor came out and said "She's awake now. She'll be groggy because of the seizure and surgery, but surgery went well. We plated the ankle." "I thought you weren't supposed to operate on post-seizure patients?" "We monitor post-seizure patients closely, give them doses of drugs to allow the brain to calm down. Her file had no history of this. So it was the body shutting down. Its why surgery took 5 hours. You have to know the limits.. She was one of the lucky ones. A broken leg and seizure, sometimes I see people brought in and they go to the morgue after that.." "Can I see her?" "Sure." Phil nodded as the doctor led Phil into her room. "Phil.." "Jackie.. How do you feel?" "tired.." "You would do after something like that. You remember what happened?" "Not much. I remember the ankle crunch noise, and passing out." "Yeah, the doctors say it was a seizure caused by the brain turning off." "gee. I'm a walking health magazine." as Phil talked with Jackie he said he was grateful. 20 minutes later, the doctor came back in and said "The scans we took, came back clear. But this means you cannot drive for 6 months. Just in case." Jackie smiled and said "I don't mind." "But. When you go back to work, light duties only. And I mean light.." "It's a prison.." said Phil. "But we'll look after her. That's what we do." the nodded and said "There is also a moonboot for you. Too get around easier." as the doctor sat the boot next the bed he left. Phil then stood up and said "I gotta make a call." Phil got his phone and rang Wilson. "Hey Wilson, you got everyone there?" "Yeah." "Jackie's doing great. Bit sore and sorry." "The rundown.." "I'll let her tell you." Phil handed over the phone to Jackie and she said "Broken ankle, and clear brain scans." a cheer came from the phone. Jackie then said "I'll be back at work, sooner then you know.". 2 weeks later, Phil was back at work with his arm in a sling, so he was put on yard duty because he wanted it. As the team were in the staff-room for a meeting, a surprise guest arrived. It was Jackie who was on crutches and in a moonboot. "I thought you were meant to be taking it easy?" "Turns out.. every reality show is very boring after two weeks. I had to come back. Otherwise I would've had this weird reason to renovate my house.."

Season 5 ep 1
It was raining, as Phil was getting ready for work. He was sitting next to Diane in bed stroking her head and he said "Are you going to think about it some more?" "What's to think about?" Phil smiled as he reached over to the drawer and handed the box over to Diane and said "You know when we first met.. I didn't think you'd like me.." "You took some getting used to you know.. Before you came over from Texas, the prison was in a state. Vera was losing support from everyone and she threatened some big deal with the board. But somehow the board got back on her side. The person they wanted was you. Big time lawyer, knew about justice. A lot of it as well. That night when you were brought here, there was a team of guards who had to stand outside the cell for about 6 hours." "You probably know the reason, but did she give any on why I spent so long in isolation?" "The media mostly. With everything that happened at the firm, the death of your ex-wife and firm closure. Vera didn't want anyone to know that you were in the prison.." "Yeah right." Diane opened the box and gushed. "5 years ago.. I don't think I'd be able to see what the others got up to. It's none of business anymore anyway. My focus is here." Phil kissed Diane and said "I have to finish getting ready." "Yeah, alright." Phil looked at Diane and said "Lets keep our engagement quiet for now. Because this right here is our moment." Diane smiled and said "Yeah.. of course." she put the box back in the draw as Phil put his shoes on. They arrived at work and started their shift, Phil got into the staff-room and saw Jackie. "Morning Jackie." "Morning." Jackie looked at Phil before walking off. Phil opened his locker and got his belt out and put it on. When an angry Wilson came in. "Phil, you're late." "I'm sorry.." "Forget it.. You're on yard duty with Jackie. get outside." Phil nodded and made his way to the yard. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Phil said to Hammer. "Who?" "The Governor.." "Oh no.. he's mad because the investigation into the person who attacked Melba, got released without charge." "Melba? Who's that?" "Jesper Melba. Some bookie creep." "Yeah right.." Phil looked up and around as the prisoners were talking, Phil's radio went off. "Sierra 1 calling sierra 5, requesting a prison to be brought to me. Bring me Hardwood." "Copy that sierra 1" Phil clipped his radio back on and said "Hardwood. Follow me, governor wants to see you." she nodded as she followed Phil. "Know what its about?" "Doubt it." "Don't you have parole coming up?" "With the mood the governor's in. he could care less about parole." as the made it to the governor's officer Phil knocked on the door and opened it. "Hardwood for you governor." "Thank you Phil." Hardwood went in as Phil closed the door over. He was standing outside the office standing there listening to the conversation. "I have some news for you. It's good news." Wilson put the letter on the table. Hardwood reached over and opened it. "You've been granted an immediate release. Your good behaviour and peer-working with the prisoners, has gained you a lot of experience." "This is unreal.." Wilson smiled and said "The paperwork came through an hour ago, the letter followed suit this morning. I've also been in contact with the Department, and they want to offer you a role when you get out of here." "Is this for real?", Wilson handed over another letter and Hardwood read it. "You've been the only prisoner to work their arse off in here. You're in here because someone attacked your best mate, you defended him, things got bad. You got sentenced to 20 years no parole. You've served 10, the parole board had a change of heart when you delivered that heart felt speech. They gathered in a special meeting the other day. They were please with your progress, and felt that because of your resilience you deserved a break.." Hardwood finished reading everything and said "This is, unreal. Granted immediate release. a contract to a job at the department.." Wilson smiled and said "Your family has been notified. They'll be here sometime in the afternoon." Wilson opened the cupboard and put a fresh pair of clothes on the table and then into the basket sitting next to him. "Don't fuck this up Jean." "I wont..believe me.. I won't." "Phil!" said Wilson. Phil opened the door as Wilson "Take her back to her unit." Phil nodded "come on.." he said escorting Hardwood back to her unit. "Congrats by the way.." "Thank you Officer Purcell." "Are you gonna take the job with the department?" Jean smiled and said "Yeah. I will." as they got back to the unit, Boomer said "What's going on?" Jean then said "I'm getting out. I got immediate release." the group screamed happily as Hyuam said "I thought you weren't eligible for parole?" "I thought so to. But because of the work I've done as peer worker, and a lot of other things, they had a meeting and I'm getting out." "That's amazing." as Jean quickly changed she said "They also lined me up with a job.." "Where?" "In the department. I don't know what it is.." Phil walked away smiling as the conversation continued, Phil decided to go outside again. Later in the afternoon, Julia was escorting Jean into the yard. "Don't let me see you here again.." "As a prisoner? No. As a visitor yeah." as Jean was being taken through the process of leaving through the yard, the prisoners did a lap of honour, before saying last goodbyes. Julia opened the gate and escorted Jean to another gate until Jean was released. Julia came back into the yard and saw Wilson standing there. "Brilliant work." Julia nodded as the PA went off telling everyone to get to work units. Wilson went back to his office and sat down watching his computer security cameras. One of on the carpark, and one was on Phil walking back from his car. Wilson lifted his eyebrows and kept watching at Phil ran into Jackie, the walked further up the road and to the path. But what they didn't see was a car coming up the road. "And that's something else isn't it.." said Phil. "If you say so.." said Jackie. As the car came ever closer, Phil was looking in the corner of his eye. Jackie was in the way. Phil screamed out "Jackie" and pushed her out of the way. "Holy fuck" said Wilson, watching on from his office. Jackie got up and saw that Phil was lying on the ground. The driver crashed into a pole. Jackie took off her radio and called "Sierra 6 to medical request assistance in the carpark, we have a code black I repeat code black. Officer struck by vehicle." Wilson was looking at the carpark and seeing that Jackie was performing CPR on Phil. Wilson grabbed the phone and said "Get me an ambulance and the police. hit and run in the carpark again." "Be there in 10 minutes tops." Wilson hungup and ran for outside. "Attention this is not a drill I need every available officer not on yard duty to put the prison on lockdown. We have an incident in the carpark.", Jackie was still doing CPR "Common Phil..Common! 4,5,6,7,8,9,10" Jackie kept checking for breathing. as the medical team made it the sound of the ambulance was coming ever closer. "Those fucking cars.." said Wilson who finally made it. "How's the driver?" "Dead.." said the medic. "He's got medical ID. epileptic. Looks like he fitted and Phil's done what he's always done. Been the hero." Jackie switched over and a medic took over. "You okay though?" "Yeah. I'm fine. I maybe wearing heals but I don't fall over in the them." as the ambulance got there, Phil was shocked 3 times before getting his heart beat back, they had stabilized him to treat his other injuries on the go. As they loaded Phil into the ambulance, Wilson turned to one of his medics and said "Go with him." they nodded and went off with them. Wilson looked up at the sky and said "Fuck this carpark."

Season 5 ep 2
As Jackie was sitting in the staffroom with her head in her hands, she looked up to see Wilson walking into the staffroom as well. "It was a year ago, I almost died in that carpark.." said Jackie. Wilson nodded and said "It was the reverse this time.." Jackie rubbed her head and said "Any news on him?" "I just got off the phone with our medic. He's in surgery. So far so good." Jackie looked at Wilson and said "We need to do something about that carpark. Before those gates. Last time it was a reckless driver. This can't keep happening." as Jackie walked over to the sink, Hampton walked in. "Wilson.." "Mr Hampton." "Shut down the carpark until further notice. All visits are suspended." as Jackie was at the sink, she vomited into it and Hampton went over to her to say "You need to get checked out by a medic." Jackie waved her arm, turned the tap on and washed her face. "I'm the least harmed in all this." "You're in shock. That's what you're in." "It must be stirring up something." Jackie sat down as Wilson called for a medic over the radio. as Diane and Julia walked in as well. "What's going on with the carpark?" Hampton looked up and said "Right now? This is a public issue. And the public will know about it. It's their fucking fault." Hampton then said "They'll pay for this.." "But the guy who was behind the wheel fitted that can't be his fault?" Jackie pipped up and said "He was a known epileptic. Also should've known he wasn't allowed to drive. I wasn't after what happened with me." Julia then said "There's a lot wrong with that statement Jackie..." "Oh really? He knowingly got behind the wheel of a car, drove here, where we have on file his history of seizures, seized behind the wheel and put one of our officers in hospital and in the process killed himself. So tell me now how that statement is wrong?" "You said you weren't allowed to drive. Medical practitioners claim a patient must be 6 months seizure free before they can get behind the wheel again. You still don't drive.." "I chose to walk. To be healthy." Jackie looked up and said "This is why I do what I do alright. I just hope Phil, makes it through surgery." "Diane.. At this point in time you're acting governor." Diane nodded, as Julia left the room with Jackie. "Somethings going on with that story. More than meets the eye.." "I don't know what went on, that's up to her to discuss when she wants to." Wilson sighed as he walked into the yard. The Prisoners were rowdy. One said "How come we can't get visitors?" Wilson turned around and said to them "Security breach. Someone hit one of our officers." "Was it that bloke who had seizures all the time?" "How is he?" "Currently in the morgue. After he hit our officer he went into a pole. Killed him." "Mate..." Wilson walked off and Hammer who was on duty said "Boss." "What is it Hammer?" "You have a call waiting for you. From one of our medics.." Wilson nodded and said "Thanks Hammer." Wilson ran to his officer and took the call. "Update me.." "He's out of surgery. He's stable. He's alive." "What were his injuries?" "Extensive bruising, collapsed lung. He also had a value replacement." "In his heart?" "Yeah. As they said they were pretty extensive.." "Alright..thanks." Wilson hungup the phone and called everyone into his office. Where he told everyone that Phil was stable and out of surgery and that his injuries were so extensive that it required a heart value replacement. Wilson then said Phil was going to be ok. "You better hope.." said Hammer. "For all our sakes." as everyone left. Diane was sitting in Phil's office, as Julia and Jackie talking. "You gotta tell us what happened." Jackie said "I almost died a year ago." "But you broke your leg.." "And had two seizures.." "We thought you just had one?" Jackie looked up and said "It's not something I'm gonna announce is it? Until last week I was scared I would have another one. But all my scans came back clear. Its common for people who aren't epileptic to have one in an accident. The broken leg was the least of my problems." "Did you think about it all the time?" "It played a lot on my mind. I even thought about quitting. I just knew I couldn't do that." Jackie stood up and said "I know what I have to do." Jackie opened the door and said "I have to see him." Jackie didn't shut the door and made her way to the staff-room, and she put her belt in her locker. Hampton then said "Need a lift?" Jackie looked at him and said "I didn't walk to work today I drove." Hampton nodded and said "Still need a helping hand?" "Are you.?" "No. I am not. I read your medical report. You were cleared, and you returned to work safely. Its no longer considered a legal suit." "Right.." "Come on then." Jackie and Hampton made their way to the carpark, and to their cars. Jackie and Hampton made their way to hospital, where the prisons Medic was waiting. "Ah you made it." "We did." Hampton put his hand on the medic's shoulder and said "You can go home now. You no longer need to be here. Tomorrow morning its back to the prison." "Yes sir." the medic walked away. Jackie and Hampton made their way to ICU, and they saw Quinton who was awake. Hampton said "I have other business, you have a lot to discuss." Hampton walked away as Jackie said "Why'd you do that?" "Because.. I said I'd do the same thing." "Everyone's freaking out. The carpark for visitors is being suspended until they can figure out a plan." "Surprise, surprise.." as they continued talking Phil said to Jackie that he believed that they were both the same in a way. They would protect someone else even if it meant injuring themselves in the process. "We work as a family.. It gets thrown around alot. But that's how we work.", hours had passed and Jackie had left for home as Phil got moved out of ICU to regular, Phil also watched the news to the news report that the Underline had put visitor visits on indefinite hold as they figured out a plan to protect officers who were in the carpark. As the staff were having a meeting a week later, Jackie said "Well the media are still on our arse about the carpark. but they'll find something else to complain about." "I dunno. Maybe they wont.." said a voice form behind. They all turned around and it was Phil, who was in his work gear. "Um no." said Wilson. "You back at work after heart surgery, a week after you had it.." "Light duties. For a couple of weeks." Hampton then said "How are you feeling?" "The same. I had a good team." Phil nodded at everyone.

Season 5 ep 10
As Julia was walking around the prison she was holding her gut as she was bleeding through stomach wounds. She moved her hand as she turned the corner to reveal the shiv was still there. A few of the prisoners had attacked Julia and injured her with the use of shivs. Julia's thoughts were on survival as she had a flashback. "You need to get to work unit." "Of course officer Miles. But before we do.." the prisoners lunged at Julia as the head prisoner said "I heard in passing, you got a baby in the oven.." "Yeah... You heard right. But it doesnt matter.. I dare you.. I dare you.." the prisoners then stabbed Julia. Julia came back to reality as she tried to turn her radio on, but she dropped it and she kept moving. As Phil was walking he spotted a blood trial on the floor. Phil knelled down and looked and grabbed his radio. "Sierra 5 to medical, just wondering if you have any prisoners or officers in medical with open wounds?" "No we don't sierra 5. We have a concussion and thats it.." "Thank you medical." Phil looked around the corner and said into his radio. "Attention all units, we have a code red I repeat a code red we have a injured officer or inmate bleeding. Lockdown required. We need to find who it is." Wilson was in his office when he heard the call. "Sierra 5, how big is the blood trial?" "its spatters. Meaning they've been shived. Authorize a cell toss after lockdown is complete." as the alarms blared in the background Phil ran into Hammer and said "Hammer, have you got into contact with other officers?" "Yes, everyone has reported in as I know." "I hope we find who it is.." Hammer nodded and he walked away. Phil walked around some more before he found a radio. "Oh no.." Phil picked the radio up and said "Sierra 5 to all units, be on the lookout for an injured officer. I have just found a radio.." Phil put his radio down and continued to follow the trial. As Phil was walking down the education corridor he saw a hand further up. Phil ran toward it and saw that it was Julia. "Oh shit.. Julia.." Julia looked up and said "How far did I make it?" "You're in the education corridor. Where were you when you got attacked?" "I was in H block.." Phil grabbed his radio and said "Sierra 5 to medical, get an ambulance on the way. I'm bringing in the injured officer." "Medical to sierra 5 understood." "I'm going to carry you to medical Julia." Phil picked up Julia and said "Stay with me Julia.." Julia smiled and said "Right.." Phil looked up as he ran to medical with Julia in his arms. "What happened?" said the nurse. "She was stabbed." Phil put Julia down on the bed as Wilson entered the room. Phil put the oxygen mask on her face as Julia looked up and said "There's something else.." "Something else what?" said Phil. "I'm 2 months pregnant.." Phil and Wilson exchanged looks as Wilson said "Who's the father?" Julia looked up and took the mask off and said "Don't bother.. It was a one night stand with an officer.." Wilson looked at Phil and Phil said "No. I'm with Diane, Wilson.." "There are 10 other male officers here. Who is the father? Do they know?" "It's Hammer.. I never told him.." as the nurse was assessing her injuries she pulled up Julia's shirt and she said "Phil, Wilson.." they both looked and saw the shiv still in her stomach. "Jesus.." said Wilson. Phil then said "I'll call Di. She needs to go with her sister.." Julia put her head down as Phil put the mask back on and reached for his radio. "Sierra 5 calling sierra 6 requesting you in medical." "sierra 5 copy that.." Phil nodded at Wilson and Julia as Phil opened the door to medical and saw Diane walking toward him. "What's up.." Phil pointed as Miles looked through the window. "Hell. What happened?" "She got attacked. She still has a shiv in her stomach.." "God.." "There's something else.." "What else?" "She told us she was pregnant." Miles looked and said "She'll be okay yeah?" "I don't know. But the thing is she'll need counselling after this.." Miles looked at Phil and said "Believe me she wont.." "Why not?" "She's been through something like this before. She's miscarried before." "How do you know that the blade hasn't entered the womb?" "You don't. But knowing a prison shiv, it's not clean, and that one is still in there." "Gee.." "Look Phil. You need to know, that all she could talk about as a 14 year old was to start a family.. She tried. Twice, both ended in miscarriage the last one resulted in the removal of an ovary." Phil's eyebrows raised and said "So she takes the anger out in corrections?" "Who said she was angry? She put her emotion into the job. Didn't want to cry about it." as Wilson opened the door he said "The ambulance is here." "I'll go with her." said Miles. Wilson nodded and said "Keep us updated alright?" Miles nodded as Phil said "How is she?" "Stable for transit." Phil nodded as he held his radio as they watched the bed go down the hallway. Wilson said "I'll be in my office." Phil nodded and said "I'll inform the other officers." Wilson nodded as Phil took to his radio and informed the officers. Phil then made his way to the yard as it was raining he stood there in the rain. In the 3 hours that both Miles sisters were gone the guards did a cell toss and put three people in the slot. Phil was called to Wilson's office. Phil opened the door to Wilson on the phone. "Thank you for the update. Tell her to get better before coming back to work.. Ok, if she wants to she'll be placed on light duties." Phil was standing at the window. Wilson continued his conversation and said before hanging up "See you later." Wilson put the phone down and sighed heavily. Phil turned around and said "What happened?" "Several stab wounds lucky some didnt pierce the deep layers of skin. The shiv, went straight into the womb. She lost a lot of blood. She also lost the baby." Phil said "Shit.." Phil stood up and went to the window and looked out it. "Can I ask Phil. Is there any chance that the prisoner could get charged with fetal murder?" Phil turned around and said "I saw plenty of cases with pregnant women being assaulted and them suffering miscarriages as a result. But a fetus isn't considered life to a court. When someone is charged after attacking someone who is pregnant, they get charged with aggravated assault. Thats it.." "That's shit." "Believe me. I had a client who survived this attack, but went on to take her own life. The law around a life that hasn't been born is crap. Always will be." "To be going through something like that.." Phil nodded and said "Julia will put that pain into her work.." "I don't doubt she will." as a knock on the door happened, Hammer entered the room and said "Governor. When is Miles coming back? We are two officers down and some of us have to go home.." "Hammer sit." Hammer sat down as he went on a rant. Phil then said "Hammer, shut the fuck up. Diane is with her sister right now, because she not only got shivved by inmates, she lost her baby." Hammer's eyes raised as Phil said "It was yours." "Oh.." Hammer then said "Why are you telling me this?" "Because you deserve to know." Hammer stood up, as Wilson said "Just keep your dick in your pants Hammer. I hear of any news regarding anymore one night stands and you'll be working a condom factory." Hammer nodded as he swore under his breathe before leaving. As Phil and Wilson shared a look, Phil left the room as well. At the hospital Diane was talking with Julia. "You're okay. You'll be fine." "I was smarter then this.." "Wilson and Phil told Hammer, he was upset at the news. But of course in Hammer fashion he won't come." "I don't care about him." "Of course you don't. Some of us want to punch him in the head." Julia then said "Those 2 months I realised I had so much to give up. I was on the verge of quitting corrections. I love my job and it means a lot to me, it always has.." "When you were a kid, its all you talked about. Wanting your own family. Can I ask what happened?" Julia smiled emotionally and said "After those last two miscarriages.. I thought it was over for me.. losing that ovary, losing what I worked so hard for. I was always that one at parties with no kids running around, but I'd look on and say to myself, if I tried again, I could die." Julia wiped a tear away as Diane held her hand. "You never told me that." "You know what people are like. They get wind of someone who doesn't have kids and focuses on their career, you're considered bad. I couldn't give a shit about the labels. But.. Being stabbed at work.." as Julia struggled she started cry talking. "I just didn't want to lose the baby in the prison. That was the only thing I was thinking about." as she was in full on tears she said "Oh god.." "Hey. It's okay." as Diane comforted her sister, Phil was watching through the window and decided not to go in and leave them together. As Phil left Hammer stood outside the room, and looked in to see Julia in full on tears and in Diane's arms. Hammer shook his head and knocked on the door. He entered. "Hammer. Leave." Julia looked up and said "No, its ok.." Hammer walked over and said "I'm so sorry this happened to you.." "Did they get who did it?" Hammer nodded and said "We did a cell toss, and the weapon was there. They got slotted." "Will they be charged?" Hammer shook his head. "With assault. Thats about it. Phil was discussing the how unfair the law is around pregnant people.." Julia nodded as Hammer said "How come you never told me?" "I wanted to keep it private. But it was hard, because I think the prisoners knew, and thats why they attacked me. In a way.. It was poetic wasn't it." "I don't get what you mean?" said Hammer. "They got me several times, one hit the ovary I had left. I now have none." Hammer looked down and said "Words can't say how sorry I am." "Your words mean nothing now." said Diane. "I know they don't. But hear me out. I'll stop annoying you at work. Now on its professional." Hammer sadly said "You would've made a great mum I think. You treat a lot of people good. Get trodden on. We all do its prison." Hammer then left the room as Diane hugged Julia and said "When you get back to work, you know what you do. Remain strong. For yourself."

Season 5 ep 15
As Phil was sitting in his office as he heard a knock on the door. "Come in.." it was Wilson. "Phil, I want to know what happened between you and Diane the other night?" "You tell me." Wilson then said "I need to know if there is anything happening between you." Phil smiled and said "We're engaged. Keeping on the down low." "That's wonderful news. How long have you two been engaged for?" "About 4 months now." Phil's office phone then rung. "Phil Purcell. Ah hello." Phil hung up and stood up. "I gotta go. Look I'll be back soon." Wilson nodded. Phil ran out and made it to the carpark, and he jumped into his car and drove. Phil stopped in front of the house, Phil got out of the car and knocked on the door, he knocked again before opening the door. "Jackie, it's me Phil.." Phil was hit from behind and dragged into the kitchen. Phil woke moments later to find that he was tied to Jackie and that kidnappers were in the house. "The deputy governor. They pay well for you." Phil said "They wont pay anything.. Not for me.." "Tell us. Phil. Why you left Texas.." "Who the fuck are you?" the kidnapper took off his mask and it was revealed who it was. "You have got to be joking." said Phil. "Miss me?" said Davis. "No.. In fact I haven't." Jackie looked up and said "You worked with him?" "As a lawyer at the firm yes." "You put a lot of good people out of work." "It wasn't my decision to shut down The Firm was it? That was Charlene's choice. She made that choice, no one else." "I'm still mad and Moran and Lopez don't talk to me." "That's not my problem is it? You were never easy to get along with." "Either were you." "Don't go there." "You kept a gun in desk for 20 years. You lived in a state were open carry was legal. You said if you ever returned home you were a failure. You turned your back on everything you held dear back in Texas." Phil rolled his eyes as he said "I never said I wasn't going to rule out a return home. I always wanted to come back." Davis looked and said "You never fail to amaze me." Phil struggled to get up as he was pushed back down by Davis. "Ah ah ah." he held a gun out and pointed it at Phil. "Remember this?" "Fuck.." said Jackie. "That was my weapon. I was told it got burnt in the fire." "Evidence never really burns does it Phil?" "This is insane. Why did you come after Jackie?" "Leverage." "You touch her, and I will kill you." Davis looked and stared at Jackie and said "I reckon you'd be much better as deputy governor.. What do you say?" as that went on Wilson was with Hammer, and said "I don't know where he went, but he left in a hurry." as they were walking past prisoners taking medication, some were talking about books, others work unit. "Somethings up. Something bad." "What with the prisoners?" "Nah, the fact Jackie never came into work today." "Phil got a call and rushed off, could that be it?" "What you reckon their having an affair?" "No. But something tells me we should be worried." "If he isn't back in an hour tops, then something is wrong.". Davis was reading Phil's file to him. "You see Phil. 160 people were put on community service when you took the stands. The highest rates of anybody who worked for us." "I don't give a fuck Davis. Not about lawyer-ing or anything else relating that matter." Davis threw the file in Phil's face and said "I gave a fuck. I cared what happened." "No mate, you never did. You cared about getting that precious retainer. I cared about those who were assault victims." "Because you were one of them?" Phil snapped and said "You slimy fuck..!" "Phil, calm down.." said Jackie. "Better listen to her." Phil leaned forward as Davis knelt down and said "Tell me.. Do you love her?" meaning Jackie. "As a friend of course." "Maybe you two are more then friends.. I see the way you two look at each other at work." "What the fuck?" "Yeah I worked undercover as a guard for a few months. You two got chatty on more than one occasion." "It's our line of fucking work, Terry!" Jackie looking on confused said "Never once. He's marrying my sister. Fuck." Davis got out his phone and said "This her?" Jackie and Phil nodded. "Yes, that's her. Diane Miles. My fiance." "I don't see why you attempt to marry someone else.. Everyone else you marry ends up dead." Phil twitched as Davis said "Everything, you know now, was everything we knew.." Davis left the room for a minute, as Jackie said "Phil, you need to calm down. Getting angry wont help you." "Every time I try to leave the past in the past. An old part of myself comes to light. I hated myself then. I left Texas for a better fucking life. And everyone puts that against me." Jackie looked at Phil and said "As much as it hurts Phil, you never really get that part of your life to go away. I worked as a school teacher. High school teacher for 10 years before the ambulance got there. I'll never forget the day a student stabbed another student. That student died in my arms. I try to repress that memory, but I can never do it. I thought after I got hit by that car those thoughts would go away. But they don't. Another 3 stabbings happened at that school, staff couldn't come into work without protection." "Is that why you went into corrections?" "Yeah, the story behind it. You have your reasons for wanting a career change, I had mine. I think a part of me knew where I went into corrections that kid would be. Funnily enough the super-max prison I worked at, that kid was there. He recognized me straight away. Gave me chills. But he didn't see out his sentence. No one at that prison saw out that sentence. It's why I transferred to Wentworth, it was a bit easier, but got boring quickly so I started a fight club. Everyone including the governor knew, didn't care. But it came up to a choice for me. It was either quit, or go back to teacher. I had that to fall back on at least." "So you transferred to Underline, to be with family?" "No I transferred to Underline, because the staff WERE a family. Everywhere I see smiling guards in the breakroom, leaving happy. Because you don't see that in many places. It's always go here, and that challenge I like." Phil nodded and said "I truly love her you know." "I know. I know." Phil leaned over and said "But I've always wanted to do this.." Phil kissed Jackie for a a minute, Jackie smirked and said "Tease.", as Davis came back into the room he said "Your past Phil is law. And yours Jackie will never leave you in the dust." back at the prison Hammer said "It's been an hour now." "Alright fine. But we have to make sure.." as Julia came rushing into the room she said "Guys, Phil forgot to take his radio off. He's at Jackie's house, and someone's there with them." "Who?" "Someone named Davis?" "Yeah its his old mate.. Lawyer Terry Davis, worked at The Firm with Phil.." nodding in agreement that they needed to go, Hammer and Wilson went leaving Julia and Diane in charge. As Phil was losing patience he said "Fuck you Terry. I don't have to explain anything to you. Leaving everything behind was what I had to do. I don't owe you anything." as Davis aimed his weapon, Davis was suddenly smashed to the ground. "Cops are on there way." said Hammer. "How'd you know where to find us?" said Jackie. "Phil took off his belt, but forgets his radio is attached to his pants. Julia heard the commotion on the radio cell." as they were talking Davis was handcuffed using prison issue handcuffs. Hammer untied Jackie and Phil just as the police arrived. They re-cuffed him and gave back the handcuffs. "Look we gotta get back to work. Cops know where we work." as Hammer and Wilson left Phil said to Jackie. "You're a good person Jackie. I could see you as Governor one day." Phil and Jackie hugged as they returned to work. Phil was standing in his office looking out the window.

Season 5 ep 24
Phil was standing in the yard watching over the prisoners as Jackie walked over to him and said "This weathers giving me grief today.." "What do you mean?" "Oh, old injury playin' up. The cold is kinda helping soothe it, but first time in ages it's flared.." "This your ankle?" Jackie nodded as Phil said "Could be early onset arthritis from the ankle dislocation." "It'l come good soon mate.. Don't get ahead of yourself yet.. Beside I had the ankle checked out, weeks ago. Doctors said it was common for ankle pain to linger for a few years after something like that." as Phil said "What's happening inside?" "Same old, same old." Phil laughed as Jackie said "I never told you this before, but I have feelings for you." Phil turned and smiled and he said "And me for you." Jackie raised her eyebrows and said "Does Diane know?" "Nah, but I think she knows. We do work together. Feelings come about, sometimes there's an urge." Jackie nodded and said "I'd like to kiss you in the yard right now. Always wanted to plant a big kiss on that beard of yours." Phil smiled and said "Maybe later." Phil walked away smiling a big grin, as Hammer took over Phil's spot. As it started raining, Jackie looked at Hammer and said "Do we bring em inside?" Hammer shrugged and said "If you want to. Cooler weather calms the ladies, so best to keep em out here for awhile." "Yeah, true." Jackie stood on guard as her radio went off. "Command to Sierra 6 are you there?" "Sierra 6 to command, yes, what's the matter?" "We have a silent alarm going off in the H Block Guard office, the door hasn't been closed in 20 minutes, and no one has been available to take the call, do you mind checking it out, seeing if there's anything wrong?" Jackie rolled her eyes as she said "Yeah, I'll take it." "Thank you sierra 6." Jackie put her radio back, and nodded at Hammer to take over her spot. Jackie made her way to H block, and could hear the low tones of humming coming from the rooms. Jackie looked at all the doors and seen the guard office door closed over but not fully closed, Jackie walked over to it and opened it to see what was causing the issue. As the door opened, an officer was on the floor. "Jesus." said Jackie as she walked over to him. "Command to sierra 6 have you found the issue in the H Block Guard Unit?" Jackie rolled the officer over and checked for a pulse, there was none, their eyes still open, Jackie closed them. "Sierra 6?" Jackie reached for her radio and said "Sierra 6 to command, open channel." "I don't like the sound of this.." Jackie paused as she was still kneeling on the ground. "Sierra 6 to all units, we have a officer code black in the H Block Guard Unit. officer Code Black. Requesting the presence of medical and command. The officer is Frank Johnson." "Command to sierra 6, on our way. No alarm.", Jackie stood up and walked over to the door to see Phil and Wilson were already on there way. Jackie leaning out the door using the 'hurry sign' with her hand. Phil walked into the room, as did Wilson and shortly after a doctor and Hampton who was speaking with Wilson. "What happened?" "Frank had a history of heart problems. Looks like he just dropped dead." said Phil. "Frank had a pacemaker, after failed bypass surgery, he was always fit, didn't look out of sorts, but he had 3 other heart operations during his time here." "His heart couldn't cope you reckon?" the doctor was reading the files and said "He shouldn't have been working, he's had another heart attack a big one, it would've been quick. He wouldn't have felt any pain." Jackie leaned down again and picked up his phone. Reading the last message he sent. "He sent this message to his wife.. 'Hey hon, mind picking up some potatoes? might make chips for tea.. xx' Jackie looked down and said "We have to tell his wife.. Frank had two kids.." Wilson said "Our prison liaison officer will go with a police officer and tell her." Jackie shook her head and said "I humbly disagree. An officer should go. With a member of the police. It'll mean more hearing from an officer then the liaison." Wilson nodded and said "Fine.. but you take another guard with you. Purcell, you go, and I'll cover for you." Phil nodded as a police officer said "I'm Commander Jeremy Lomax. I'll take you for the knock." Phil watched on as Frank's body was being taken away. Phil then said "We do this my way Lomax." "And what would that be?" "No lights, you stay in the car and we tell her." Lomax nodded and said "It's not my first rodeo. But its a courtesy, that I have to come inside, and offer my support." "fine." as Phil and Jackie were walking Phil took off his radio and so did Jackie, placing it on the charging dock as they walked out. They got into the police car and made their way to Frank's wife's house. Lomax parked out the front and got out last. Phil looked at Jackie and said "I got this.." Jackie nodded as Phil walked over to the door and knocked on it. The door opened. "Officer Purcell, Miles." "Cindy.. do you mind if we come in?" "Of course.." Lomax was standing outside the door as well, but Cindy didn't take notice as they entered the house, Cindy said "Can I ask what this is about?" Phil looked at Cindy and grabbed her hand. "It's Frank. He suffered another heart attack at work. A big one.. I'm sorry Cindy, but he didn't make it." Cindy shell-shocked said "Was he in any pain?" Phil nodded no and said "The doctor believes because his heart was already so weak, that it was just as quick as possible. He wouldn't have been in pain." Lomax standing up said "If you'd like I can take you down to the hospital, were you can be with him as long as you like." Cindy looked up and said "What do I tell the kids? Jackson and Dixie are currently studying for their exams, what do I say to the school?" "Mrs Johnson, when can explain to the school the situation, and something will be put into place." Lomax nodded as he called for another car, and Jackie said "Frank was a good man. he helped a lot of those women." "I bet he would've. Frank worked too hard. Didn't want to slow down. Always said the job was going to kill him." Lomax said "We better get going Mrs Johnson." Phil and Jackie had gone outside and left in the other car already, as Lomax helped Cindy into the car. As Phil and Jackie got back to work, Jackie said to Phil "You're amazing, you know that." "Thank you.". "How'd it go?" said Hammer who was standing with a bunch of guards. "Cindy doesn't sound to devastated, but she's on her way to the morgue with a cop." Phil said "It's part of our job, I always hated watching those videos of police going up to someone's house and saying a family member was dead, but I've done it, I told someone that." Jackie nodded as she walked away, with Phil finishing his sentence and walking after her. "My office." he said with a grin. Phil stood in his office as Jackie came in a few minutes later. Jackie locked the door and Phil walked over to her and kissed her. "we did that." "We did." refering to the 'knock' the two continued kissing as Phil held Jackie up against the wall and kept kissing her. Phil holding Jackie brought her over to his desk and undid his pants as Jackie unzipped hers. "No fuss or muss.' Phil reached over into his desk and pulled out a condom and put it on as he kept kissing Jackie. as guards walked past the office they had no idea what was going on, as the blinds were drawn and Phil and Jackie weren't making that much noise. Phil and Jackie were on the table upright with clothes still on but pants unzipped as they had sex in Phil's office. A few minutes later they were done. Phil took the condom off and wrapped it in a piece of paper before putting it in a bin. "That'll be our secret." Phil chuckled, Jackie zipped her pants back up and said "I hope no one heard us.." "We weren't that loud." Phil kissed Jackie, as Jackie opened the door and saw that Diane was talking with Wilson and said "What's going on?" "Frank's wife went apeshit at the hospital aye.. She's getting sent for a mental health check." "What the fuck she do?" "Saw her husbands dead body and had sex with it. Then bashed a pathologist." Phil walking out adjusting his hair said "So she's coming here?" "Highly unlikely. But something else is in the air.. I smell love and custard." "Love, but no custard." said Diane. "I'm guessing these two had some.." Wilson said "And you're not mad?" "Why would I be? I'm open for it. You just don't walk out of an office fixing your hair if you're a bloke." Phil laughed as Diane walked away.

Season 5 ep 25
Wilson was overlooking the compound from his office and he heard a knock on the door. The door opened it was Phil. "Ah Phil, what news do you have?.." Phil sat down and said "Well the cell toss was a waste of time. The only thing we found was a shiv. Everyone is behaving which is strange." "Prison can be strange. That's why officers have to know when something is going down." Phil grabbed his radio and said "Sierra 5 to sierra 6 is there anything happening down in the yard?" "Nothing of note sierra 5." "No drug deals or whatever?" "None. Its one of those days." "Copy that, thank you sierra 6." Phil put his radio back and Wilson turned around and said "Can I ask.. When Vera said that day in the wet cells you two made out. Did you ever have relations anywhere else?" Phil chuckled and said "Once. On the floor in my office." Wilson looked and said "On the floor? right.." "We never let our relationship get in the way of work. It is the way I did things." "If you don't mind me asking something personal about Texas. Were you truly in love with Charlene? Or did you fall in love just enough to forget the pain?" Phil sighed and said "I believe it was a bit of both. I mean 3 months after Dixie died I was shattered mate. I was a lawyer then ever used your emotions to overrule a sentence. I was almost barred from law because of my decision making. I lost confidence and no one was coming for me to help. They went to my other lawyers. I had to hired one more, and when Charlene walked in the job was hers she was amazing from day dot. I proposed to her less then a year after losing my first wife. I regret that. I regret asking for her hand in marriage. Charlene meant the world to me.." "What happened.. why did you break apart?" "When I overdosed, our relationship started to crumble, we'd been married for 3 years then. And I owed it to a lot of people that if I ended up behind bars for possession I would try my hardest to make sure I'd never do it again." "What you told Vera years ago was shit.. wasn't it? You never went in for possession you were sent to rehab. Twice.." "Vera's dead Jackson. That's all that matters. I loved my life in Texas, but sometimes things that nailed you to the floor. That's the reason I kept a gun in my desk. It always had a bullet in it, never once did I feel the need to fire it at a colleague. I always had it there to remind me of what I can lose. That gun was my sanity." "Did you ever have those thoughts? About suicide?" "After my aunt and my mentor died, it really crumbled, I had planned to shoot myself in my office." "What stopped you?" "Life I guess. I had the gun to my forehead and something said to me 'no. you cannot do this. people love you, you have a career, a home a wife.' I never thought the way I'd go out would be easy. But when I do die, I'm going out fighting. Til the end." "Til the end?" "Til the end." Wilson said "For years I've wanted that answer. Instead of you shutting down about life, you finally talked." "What's not to love about life right now." "I heard you two got engaged. Congrats by the way. how long ago did that happen?" Phil smiled and said "We got engaged 5 months ago. But only told people now. No else needed to know." "Ah mate. cop out." "Nah never." Phil laughed as he said it. "Command to Sierra 5, your brother is here." Phil shook his head and said "Alright command, send him to my office." "copy that sierra 5." Phil stood up and said "With how quiet it is here today, may as well send the officers home.." "You know I can't do that.." Phil chuckled as he opened the door and went to his office where Derek was waiting. "Derek. What's up?" Derek hugged Phil and said "I heard, cheeky. congrats." "Thanks mate." Phil and Derek sat as Phil said "How is everyone?" "Good. I think it's going ok. Moran and Davis just announced they were retiring from law. Their gonna start their own business." "Oh mate. Even better eh." "Lopez get offered a high rank job at the CIA.. How good is that.." "Hey they miss ya. What can you do when you live in two places. This place and Miles' house." Phil smiled as Derek said "How's Julia knowing your marrying her sister?" "Julia and Diane tell each other everything. I'm ok with that, means a lot." Phil's radio then went off. "Sierra 4 to sierra 5 requesting assistance in the dining room." "Sierra 4 copy that." Phil stood and said "Hey wish them luck for me ok?" Derek nodded as Phil left his office and made his way to the dining hall. Phil entered the room and two of the women were punching each other. Phil and Hammer were trying to get them apart. "Hey! Hey! Stop!" said Phil. As Phil pushed them apart he said "That's enough. Sit down and eat." the prisoner spat in the others face. "Alright them. Hammer, slot her." Phil was telling the other to calm down as he looked up and said "No longer quiet." Wilson saw this on the monitor and laughed to himself. The PA went off saying it was time for work unit and Phil made his way for rounds. When he did he bumped into Miles and said "Hello there." "Hello yourself." Phil and Miles made their way to the lunch room and they started kissing on the two chairs in front of the fridge. Then Hammer walked in and said "Get a room you two.." Phil chucked and said "How's Groggy." "In the slot. Angry. By the way after we did that a knife has gone missing from the kitchen, one of those big knives chef's use." "Shit. Keep eye contact on anything and report this to Wilson." "Yeah well." Hammer went into the toilet as Miles said to Phil "I love you so much." "I love you to. You want to know something?" "What?" "These 5 years I've known you, I am glad to have known you. through thick and thin." "Where's this coming from?" "The heart. just know that alright. I love you so much." Phil kissed her one more time and then again on the head. Phil walked out of the room as Julia walked in. "I know that look." "What look?" "Your resting bitch face." "Oh thanks.." "Nah.. I'm joking. He's one of the good guys." "He certainly is.." said Diane. Julia then said "Everything works out doesn't it. You two had something going on for years." "I guess we did." as the radio chatter from the radios was going on the two continued their conversation. As Phil was walking down the hallway of H Block, Boomer was standing on top of the stairs. "Boomer, move." said Phil nicely. Boomer turned around and said "Remember what I said that day I was in the slot? I meant that.." "Meant what?" "This.." Boomer hit Phil in the back and it sent him to the ground. Phil struggled to get his radio out but Boomer threw it down the stairs, along with Phil, Phil managed to roll to avoid injury. As Boomer made it down the stairs she struck Phil again before grabbing his handcuffs. "Boomer.. What happened in the slot years ago.. You didn't kill Heidi did ya. You took the fall because you wanted to be in here longer, and right now you're doing that.." Boomer handcuffed Phil to the staircase banister. "This is enough Boomer. What else are you gonna do?.." Boomer out of her pants held a chef knife out. "Oh fuck.. Boomer..." "You lose." Boomer then stabbed Phil in the leg, and Phil let out a massive scream.. "No one can hear you down here.. Everyone's in work unit.." Phil's radio then went off. "Attention all units Boomer has failed to appear at work unit. I want an immediate lockdown." Boomer punched Phil in the face as Phil said "I win..." She hit Phil again in the stomach and once more in the head and back. Boomer then ran away. Phil tried to free his hands but no luck, Phil then used his legs to kick his radio over to him. "Sierra 9 to sierra 5.." Phil managed to get his radio to him with luck. "Sierra 5. are you there." Wilson in his office looking at the monitors as the radio went off again "sierra 5 are you there.." "sierra 5 please answer." Miles was locking down prisoners when Boomer appeared. "Where were you?" "In medical." "What for?" "Chest pain.." the radio went off again. "Sierra 5 please answer.." "This is sierra 6 to command has anyone heard anything on sierra 5?" Boomer then said "Better find him. You know what happens to those who go missing in this prison.." Miles turned around and said "You're a sick fuck." "What are you gonna do huh?" Miles walked into the corridor and gave a dirty look to Boomer. Then the radio cracked with "Officer down.." "Who's down? Who reported that? Who is the officer down. What is your sierra number?" "Sierra 5 to all units.. code watermelon.." Wilson in the office became so frantic he ran from the office to make it down to the other officers. "Attention all units, this is command, we have an injured officer somewhere in the prison. I repeat put the prison on code watermelon, I repeat code watermelon." Miles looked at Wilson and said "What's a code watermelon?" "A code I never wanted to hear in my life." Miles took to her radio "Phil do you know where you are?" "A stairwell somewhere.." "That's half the prison.. stairwells.." "Wait were was he last?" Miles took off and so did Wilson and the other guards as the alarm blared. as the prisoners were saying "What the hell is a code watermelon?" "It's a guard code. One of them's been hurt, badly by another prisoner. The guard may die." They looked at each other as Getty said "That's life for whoever did that." "Boomer, let me look at your hands.." Getty walked over and looked at Boomer's hands.. "Oh fuck.. Boomer.. I can't believe this." Getty said "This is un-defend-able. Fuck you." as Wilson ran past, he stopped at the cell and said "Who did this?" the prisoners all pointed at Boomer. "Where the fuck is Phil? Where?" "I ain't saying.." A guard running by was stopped by Wilson and said "Slot Boomer." The guard nodded as Wilson continued to run. Miles was looking at the top of the H block staircase at first she didn't see anything, and then she looked at the floor. "Shit.." She walked down the stairs and saw Phil. "Oh shit.." She ran over to Phil and said "Phil.. look at me. Stay with me.." She undid the handcuffs and lowered Phil's arms and moved him away from the stairs. Miles grabbed her radio and said "Sierra 6 to all units, Code watermelon is confirmed, Phil's been assaulted and stabbed with a knife.." "Copy sierra 6 on our way.." "Phil who did this.." "The radio chatter... Boomer's been slotted.." "Fuck.." Miles was holding pressure on the wound below the knife. Phil coughed and vomited up blood. "Oh that's not good." Phil then said "I'm in shock, heart rates going down. Need...hospital" Phil looked up and said "I love... you... so much.." "I love you too Phil, you know that. You hold on alright.." Phil smiled as he stopped breathing and his head rolled back. "Phil.. Phil!" Miles started CPR as the rest of the guards and medical crew arrived. "Jesus Christ.." said Julia. "How long has he been down?" "About 2 minutes. He was talking with me and he just stopped breathing. He vomited up blood." "How'd you find him?.." "He was handcuffed to the banister and left to die." "This is one of the knives from the kitchen.." said Hammer. "You didn't do a check?" "We did. Checked everyone.." As Wilson took over CPR they were loading Phil onto the bed and running down the hallway. The prisoners watching on in horror. "Boomer, what have you done.." said one. 15 minutes later Wilson and every guard were called for a meeting. "Indefinite lock down is what they all deserve.." said Hammer. "Of course it is. Huh Hammer. We're covered in Phil's blood and he had a knife sticking out his thigh." "Boomer's going down for attempted murder.." said Miles. "Boomer's going down for everything. Nuthin' will stop her from killing again.." "I think I'm done.." said Miles. "I'm going to slot every single one of them. These bribes, this.." Miles pulled out rolls of cash and said "I turned a blind eye to prisoner on prisoner bashing, but this ends now." "It only ends when you stop betting on shit aye.. like fights.." "Oh shut up. We all just did Cardiopulmonary resuscitation on my fiancee." Miles then said "Let them roam and I will talk with Boomer." "If you talk with Boomer, you're likely gonna kill her.." "Damn right I might. But I wont be bribed into doing it." Wilson nodded as Hampton walked in "What the fuck is going on.. I hear a prison in lockdown and a guard in hospital.. who?" "It's Phil.." "Oh you gotta be jokin.. You have 2 inmates who survived OD's still in the same hospital. Now Phil.. What happened!" "A prisoner stabbed him and used his handcuffs to handcuff him to the fuckin' staircase banister. He coded, but he came back.." "far out.." Miles had her arms folded as Julia said "We slotted who did it. She'll be there indefinitely.." "I don't understand what pushes a person to do this.." "Code watermelon as well, your own doing?" "Every officer decided to have their personal code be a fruit or veggie. Phil's code was watermelon. We use it when we fear for our lives.." Hampton nodded as he walked up to Diane and said "You know I'm sorry." "It's part of the job. We just need danger money." "You do realise this makes you deputy governor for the time being.." Miles said "I know." Miles walked away and the prison lock down was lifted. Getty walked up to Miles and said "I need info.." "Get your own." "Hey.." "You don't get it do you. If were up to me.. I would have this entire prison fuckin' slotted.." "But you wouldn't.." "Don't tempt me.." and officer brought Miles her new badge and she put it on. "Hey Miles.." said a prisoner. "What?" they produced cash and said "Make a bet.." Miles then went over to her and said "The slot for you.." "Aye.." a guard walked past and said "Give this to Wilson, bribery of an officer.." "Shit you were serious aye." as Miles put the prisoner in the slot. Wilson was standing there with police. An hour later Wilson called everyone for a meeting. "I just got off the phone with Derek at the hospital.." "And how's Phil?" "Well the knife went in so deep it went into bone, they don't know if the knife can be removed yet. His shoulder was dislocated and he's got bleeding in his brain and he is currently waiting in the cardiac ICU for surgery, he's critical. If any of you need to go home after today I wouldn't blame ya.." "The revenge we get is finishing our shifts and coming into work with the belief that he's gonna make it.." said Miles. "We go with that then." as the meeting continued and finished 10 minutes later Hampton was talking with Wilson. "She's hurting." "Well fuckin' hello. We are all hurting. His fiancee has to finish work to an empty house and no guarantee he'll survive the ordeal." Wilson walked over to the window and the weather turned grey.. "Somethin' is brewing. Something bad."

Season 6 ep 1
As Wilson was talking with other officers about what happened, Hampton was standing in the staffroom disappointed. "I need everyone possible back on duty. I know how hard it is going to be right now, but you need something to occupy your mind." they nodded and left the room. "Can we talk in your office?" said Hampton. Wilson nodded and walked quietly back to the governors office. Wilson sat down and said "Has there been any news?" "Derek is still there at hospital and he said no one is telling him anything.." "That's all we need.." "But there is something else." "Oh.. what is it?" "3 days ago, Phil tendered his resignation." "Oh so we have to find a new deputy governor?" "Actually no.. When Phil was on break from Underline, he went up to Queensland. He searched Blackmont prison for a new officer. They agreed and should be here any minute." "Right now, all my officers are off guard with this. The prison is still on lockdown. I don't know how they are going to deal with another officer coming in and taking his place.." Hampton then said "You'll have to get used to it." the phone rang and Wilson answered it. "Wilson. Alright tell her to come up." Wilson put the phone down and said "That was reception. Our new deputy has arrived." Hampton stood up as a few seconds later there was a knock on the door. "Come in.." the door opened and the new officer walked into the room and shut the door. "Mr Hampton. Governor." "This is Adena Ferguson. The former deputy governor of Blackmont Prison." Adena shook hands with Wilson as Hampton put her folder on the desk and said "Happy to be on board. Under the circumstances." "How much experience have you had in the prison service?" "32 years." Wilson nodded and said "I think you will fit in very well." Hampton's phone then rang and he said before answering it "Welcome to Underline." Hampton stepped out of the room, as Wilson said "How well did you know Phil Purcell?" "He handled a few of my legal affairs when he was in Texas." "You lived in Texas?" "No. I met him during an exercise at a Texas Prison. We swapped over guards from Blackmont for 7 months. And I met him there. We kept in contact." "Of course.." "Do you need someone to show you round the prison?" "I'll find my way around. Most prisons have the same layout. The only thing that changes are the prisoners. Which sometimes is the same person on more then one occasion. Rehabilitation is a waste of time.." "I tend to agree. Some have it harder than others, but then again.." "Then again, what governor? I can tell you, I've been in this job long enough not to trust any prisoner." Wilson who was reading Adena's file said "You have a good record. Served as deputy governor for over 10 years. Been around prisons since you were... 19? Wow.." "I was 22 when I received my promotion to senior officer. I was very efficient." "This report certainly agrees." Adena nodded as Wilson said "Do you have any family here?" Adena looked up and said "Ah yes.. My father, and a couple of sisters. But I don't keep in contact with my sisters. My father lives in the area." "I know it sounds intrusive, but I need to know where I stand on a personal level, I need an understanding of my new officers." Adena cleared her throat and said "I did have a relationship with an officer at Blackmont. 17 years in fact. We were very close. But I lost her." "I'm sorry.." "Don't be sorry. We broke up after I found her in bed with someone else. She resigned as a result and ended up behind bars on drugs charges." "I'm sorry I pried." "Well its better you know now then if someone else told you." Wilson rubbed his head and  as Hampton came back into the room and said "Gather your staff together, now please. Send them to the staffroom. There's news." Wilson stood up and grabbed his radio off of the table and said "Radio command open channel to the entire prison." "Copy that. Open channel granted." "This is sierra 1 to all units available, please make your way to the staffroom, ASAP." Wilson turned the radio off and said "This isn't going to be good news I bet you.." Wilson nodded with Hampton and Adena following everyone to the staffroom. As the staff where in the staffroom, Adena introduced herself and everyone welcomed her as Hampton was standing with Wilson as Adena walked back over to them. "How long do we have to wait?" said Hammer. "The prison is on lockdown, Hammer, no one is going anywhere." said Jackie. Outside Diane was with Derek and they walked somberly into the prison. They made there way into the staffroom, where Wilson saw them and he said "When?" "An hour ago.." Adena lowered her head as Wilson said "What happened?" "Ah it's a mess.. But he lost a lot of blood. The moment the surgeon removed the knife, he bled out, faster then they could put blood back in." Derek then said "I want you all too know, that even though you are all hurting, he would want you to get on with the job. This job requires humanity and sometimes we lose it, by god we do. Every officer has a story, has a world of their own but we never forget why we do a job like this. I'll inform you when the arrangements have been made." Derek left by himself. "You heard him.." said Ferguson. "Time to get back to work.." everyone except Ferguson, Wilson and Diane left as Ferguson held Diane's shoulders and Wilson said "I think we need to speak in my office." "I don't think we need to talk about anything. And who is she?" referring to Ferguson. "This is officer Ferguson. the new deputy governor. Phil handed in his resignation 3 days ago, he found his replacement in that time.." "I should be the deputy governor. I mean I was next in line." "Under the circumstances Diane, he made the decision. And if you were to be the deputy in this moment, you wouldn't be able to cope." said Wilson. "Phil was one of a kind, and I loved him. We were going to get married, how.. how does someone snap like that.. And I'm going to kill her.." Diane stood up and pushed Wilson aside as Diane went off in a huff. Adena then said "Where is this prisoner?" "In isolation." "Can we cut Diane off?" "No she knows all the routes." "I'll stop her.." Adena grabbing her radio said "This is sierra 8 to officer Miles.." "Jackie.." "Not you.. But I need you to cut off your sister, she's on her way to isolation.." "Shit.." Adena made her way to isolation where Diane was standing outside the gate. "Diane..I know how much he cared about you. This is not what he would of wanted.." "What would you know.. You didn't know him.." "That's where you're wrong. I did know him. He handled my legal affairs and we were close. But clearly not as close as you were. He talked about you all the time." "I'm sure he did." "He did. He loved you. He wouldn't want you to do this.." Adena got a little closer as Diane reached for her security pass. "This is for Phil.." Adena reached out and grabbed Diane's arm and said "You do this, you're no better then her. You will spend the rest of your life in here. For what? A bit of revenge... You know these prisoners will do the job.." "You shouldn't condone that.." Adena leaned in to Diane's ear and said "I condone what I like.. If these prisoners want to murder this one. Let them." Diane shook out of Adena's grip and opened the gate. Adena followed her and grabbed Diane by the shoulders, but Diane lashed out and pushed Adena against the security gate and the sound of Adena's head hitting the gate could be heard. "Diane stop!" said Wilson. Wilson rushed over to the gates and knelt down and said to Adena, "Are you alright?" Adena mumbled. "I'll be fine.." "Alright, get medical down here. Get Adena to medical." Adena was helped up with a cut above her eyebrow and blood dried over her cheek, Diane was standing outside the room that Boomer was in. And she said "I hope you are happy. You murdered him.. You're lucky that I don't come in there and kill you myself.. But I know it wouldn't be worth the prison sentence. But it would be a great feeling to watch those prisoners tear you limb from limb.." "That's enough.." said Wilson as two other guards grabbed Diane. "Take her to my office.." as Diane was marched away, Wilson looked at Adena and said "Welcome To Underline." 20 minutes later, Wilson was talking with Diane who had calmed down. "I can't believe you did that, Diane. I thought I knew you better than that." "I'm angry Wilson.." "I know you're angry but you need to understand, that if we lose another officer, you cannot do that." then a knock on the door. The door opened and it was Ferguson, she closed the door and stood in the corner. "What's the damage Ferguson?" "A few stitches. Nothing special." "Concussion?" "I'm still here, with it." "You should go home and rest then." "No thanks Governor. I am here for my job, and it wont be the last time I get injured on the job." Wilson sighed and said "No charges against Diane?" "No none." "That's good." "I'm concussed sir, not stupid. I understand what loss does to an officer and too morale. When I served at Blackmont we lost one of our own. But we didn't have time to mourn because we worked in maximum security.. but the officer ended up on the wrong side of the law, she was still one of us, in a way.. Still a screw, but it took a while.." Wilson waved his hand and said "I understand that." then another knock on the door. Jackie walked in as Wilson said "I need you to take Diane home.." "Bu---" "No arguing Diane. You are going home. Be somewhere quiet." "I guess you're right.." "You know I'm right. And don't come back until you have your shit in check.. Jackie." Jackie nodded as Diane stood up and left the room. Wilson turned to Adena and said "You're a tough cookie aren't you.." "Listen Governor, I'm only going to say this once to you. I've worked in prisons for a long time a very long time, and I am more of a lone wolf, not to be messed with. Because those who have crossed me haven't faired well. I worked alongside some of the most loyal people and some who I wouldn't give the time of day, and that's going to be the same here. I've survived injuries such as an accidental lynching, being shot at, stabbed twice with a pair of scissors, bumps, bruises, you name it. I've survived it. I became the officer I had to by surviving. And you tell your staff that." Adena then left the room. Wilson rubbed his head as the sound of thunder was rumbling in the distance.

Season 7 ep 1
As Jackie was sitting in the lunch room and the sound of thunder was audible in the background as she was reading a book before her shift started. As Wilson walked in with a guard. "And this is our breakroom/staffroom. And one of our officers." Jackie looked up and said "Hi." "This is officer.." "Jackie Miles.." "You two know each other?" said Wilson. "We worked at the same high school. I was a PE teacher." Jackie put the book down and stood up. "Small world." "Greg here, got transferred from Fairbanks." "Strewth. Prison of all prisons.." "I got somewhere else to be, show him around yeah?" Jackie nodded and said "Yep." Wilson walked out of the staffroom, and Greg said "Long time no see." "What's it been? 15 years?" "22.." "Didn't know you quit teaching." "I did a year after you left. The entire system at that school was broken. A lot of us couldn't deal with it anymore. I quit after 8 years as a teacher. Too many people got hurt." Jackie nodded as the two were walking down the corridor. "People get hurt here to you know." "Yeah I know." they stopped in front of the medical bay as Julia was talking with one of the medics she turned around and waved. "Morning Jules.." "Morning.." "Who's the hottie?" "This is Greg Smith. Transfer from Fairbanks." "Wow. That's a bad prison.." "Tell me about it." "I worked with Greg when we worked in Brisbane." "Blast from the past then." "Yeah, you could say that." "This'll be a cake walk compared to Fairbanks.. Morning count will begin soon, got your sierra number yet?" "Yeah. I'm sierra 15. And some fruit in case of an emergency.." "Watermelon? Yeah we all got watermelon.." as Jackie and Greg walked to the cells for the morning count, Jackie opened the gate and said "Morning everyone." "Morning Miss Miles." "This here is officer Smith. He'll be doing rounds throughout the day. So behave." Miles marked off the names as Greg stood watch. As Greg went to move his radio went off. "Attention all units code black. I repeat code black. This is a code black dining room." "Sierra 5 to sierra 1 what's happened?" "Overdose. Medical's on their way.." "We only just did morning count, how does that happen? Fuck it..Fuckin' prisoners.." Jackie clipped her radio back on to her belt and turned to Greg and said "Welcome to Underline.. Let's go." the two ran to the dining room, where Diane was doing CPR. "Reverse drugs been given?" "No effect. This prisoner has overdosed previously 3 times before, the drugs don't work." "Tendaol?" "We used that. We used several other drugs to reverse the overdose. It's not that simple, not anymore..", as Greg took over he said "How bad are the drugs in this place?" "The only crew who gets them is the Asian crew. Everyone else stopped using and started drug programs to get clean." "It's not that simple is it? They don't all get clean at once.." As Wilson walked in he said "This lot did. The Asian crew are the only ones who can't give it up. Makes me angry to see them like this." "This one part of the Asian crew?" "Yeah.. It's Summers. She's the leader.." Wilson then said "Stop compressions." Greg stopped and wiped his forehead. "What caused the drug stoppage?" "An officers death. They all loved him." said Jackie. "A lot of them got clean because of him." Greg looked up and said "Must've meant a lot to everyone." Wilson called it. "Time of death 9:30am." Wilson turned to Diane and said "Order a ramp. We gotta get rid of these drugs." Wilson said "Put the prison on lockdown as well." As Diane called it in she said "Attention all units, requesting the dog squad, I repeat requesting the dog squad." "order received prepping now." "We get these prisoners, now." 10 minutes later Wilson was standing outside with the dog squad and he walked in with them. The prisoners having no time to get rid of anything. Wilson was standing in the corridor as Greg with one of the officers found drugs. "Governor." "Slot her." Greg nodded and handed over the drugs, before taking the prisoner away. Greg came back 2 minutes later and Wilson was handed magazines and some books. A prisoner said "Why the ramp?" "One of the Asian crew overdosed before breakfast. The leader is dead." "Maybe the drugs will stop then.." "Don't bet on it. They're crafty.." "I know." the dog squad were done as Wilson went back to his office. Greg was walking to the yard when he was pulled aside by Jackie. "Look. I'll tell you everything about Phil.." Greg put his hands on Jackie's shoulders and said "It's alright Jackie. I know.. Phil was important to everyone. Phil saved your life, and you saved his. I'm not here to be that person Jacks. You know me.." "Did you know that this hasn't been a good place for me.." "Either was working in education. The school didn't last. When I quit they let one more Year 12 class graduate, then shut down the school, knocked it down made it in to house estates." "You had everything as well. Why did you quit?" "The fact all we were doing was fearing for our lives, we had security guards outside every class room, and that's not education, that's fear. Fear overtook the job, and I couldn't do it anymore." Jackie looked up and said "You sound like me.." "We let fear and grief become part of our lives. That was us. You suffered a terrible loss, we all did, we all felt your pain. No parent should ever have to bury their child, not at any age. We all mourned alongside you." "Is that when every decided to leave?" "We all left after you did. One at a time. Student numbers went down, so did staff. My favourite thing was watching a bobcat crane destroy those buildings. Every single one of them." Jackie smiled and said "I can't remember, but we did like each other yeah?" "Yeah, we did. We dropped out of contact after you quit. Everyone thought you died.." "Makes sense.." "You gotta stop saying things like that now. We can make amends and work together." Jackie's radio then went off. "Sierra 7 calling sierra 5, the deputy governor wants to see you." "Yep alright." Jackie smiled and kissed Greg on the cheek and said "Take care." before going to the Diane's office. Diane was with Hammer and a few other guards including Wilson and said "The Asian crew." "What about them?" "With their leader dead, they'll be pushing the drugs in fast and thick. For their lot at least. How was everyone in the yard?" "Everyone's ok. A block was the only block we found drugs in. We found smokes, the usual in every other block." "So they are clean?" "Means we're safe for now.." Hammer folded his arms and said "Doesn't mean jack squat. One of them could get some gear and be really good at hiding it. Or they took it. Ate or smoked it." a knock on the door. Greg opened it and said "Governor, I have on good reason to believe the overdose, wasn't an overdose. It was revenge." "Officer Smith, how are you sure?" Smith opened the other door and revealed a prisoner with two guards in handcuffs. "She confessed to an inmate about slipping rat poison in her tea." "Why?" said Wilson. "The girls in the Asian crew, got sick of the drugs as well. We only bring them in to sell back to the outside." "That makes no sense." said Wilson. "So you killed your leader, to stop the drug trade?" "Revenge on how many people have died in here because of her." "Are the police coming?" "They're on their way." "Take her to the slot." "Drugs will keep coming in." "They always somehow do." Greg nodded and walked with the guards closing the door behind him. Wilson rubbed his face and said "I think I like him. We've always needed an officer like Greg.." Hammer said "We are like Greg.." "Sometimes.. But other times Hammer you can be a complete idiot. Like the time you distracted officers and one was taken hostage.. you remember that?" Hammer folded his arms and said "Yes I do. And I am still forever sorry about that." Jackie rolled her eyes an said "I worked with that prisoner, just so you know. We were teachers together.." "She told you that?" "Yeah she did." "Why is it, everyone you worked with is either a criminal or on the verge?" "Don't blame me, blame the shite school they came out of. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and get rained on, because the prisoners like playing basketball in the rain." Jackie nodded as she left. "Yeah, this meetings over to.."

Season 7 ep 9
As Jackie was sleeping she was having dream about her sons death. It was raining at the school as Jackie was speaking with Ryan "Now Ryan, just remember that this assessment task is most of your Year 9 mark. So make sure you get the bibliography right. So far this is good work so far." Ryan nodded as Jackie tapped him on the shoulder. Jackie turned to walk away and moments later she heard screaming and a clang. Jackie turned around and saw a student on the ground with students holding him in chicken wing and a teacher standing over him, while Ryan was standing there with blood coming out his stomach. Ryan walked over to Jackie and collapsed in her arms."Jesus Christ." said Jackie. Jackie was holding the wound, but blood was trickling down her hands. "Someone call for help!" Jackie screamed out. Greg was running over making the phone call "Yes, ambulance, and the police, a students been attacked, please hurry." "Mum.." said Ryan. "The ambulance is on the way. Stay awake for me, stay awake Ry.." Greg made it to Jackie and he took his jumper off and placed it on Ryan's stomach. "Ryan, look at me." said Jackie. "You gotta stay awake." Ryan looked at Jackie and said "Mum.." "Common Ryan, you have something to dream about, use that to stay awake. Your acting dream." Ryan smiled as police sirens could be heard. Jackie looked at Greg and said "Where the fuck is that ambo?" "Said they be here in a matter of minutes." Ryan then said "Mum.. I love you." Jackie looked at him as police cars surrounded the school and officers rushed into the grounds and arrested the kid who did it. Students were being herded into rooms and teachers watching on as Greg and Jackie were with Ryan. An officer came over and said "Ambulance was behind us. Do you know who that kid is?" "Yeah.. Ricky.. Ricky Bolton." Ryan looked up at Jackie and said one more time as the ambulance was just arriving, "I love you mum. I love you so much", Ryan had a tear go down his cheek and his head rolled back and his breathing stopped. "Ryan? Ryan!" said Jackie holding his head closed his open eyes, as she lowered his head to the ground and kissed his forehead, the paramedics came over. Greg stopped holding the wound and looked at Jackie who was shell shocked. The officer then said "I'm sorry, for your loss.", Jackie started crying and Greg held her as the officer said to another officer to take him to the morgue. Jackie jolted awake "Ahh!" Greg who was in the next room getting ready for work, came into the room and walked up next to Jackie and said "Is everything alright?" Jackie looked at Greg and said "Nightmare." "About?" "That day.." Greg sat next to Jackie and said "Something you relive often?" Jackie looked down and said "It doesnt occur often. But...can I ask you something?" "What?" "Why did you help, you held me for hours in the rain, blood soaked clothes, comforted me." "Human decency. Anyone would have done the same thing. After all you just lost your son." Greg hugged Jackie and said "You were brave, and since then have remained strong and brave. We've lost a lot in our prison world, sometimes our personal lives come into our prison world, and the opposite. We're are there for one another. We've all lost something close to us." Greg kissed her on the forehead and said "I wasn't going to leave you in the rain." Greg got up as he finished getting ready for work, Jackie got up as well and got ready as well. An hour later, Jackie was standing on guard with Julia and said "This weather can go somewhere else.." "Rather the cold then the heat." "Always loved winter.." said Wilson who was standing behind them. "Where the hell did you come from?" "Governor's meeting. A word Jackie." Jackie nodded and walked off with Wilson. As Hammer was patrolling with Diane. "Them governor's meetings sound extremely bad." "Ah, not to bad." as a guard was taking a drunk prisoner to the slot. "Jensen.." said Diane. "Where?" "The slot, she's drunk." "Yeah right.." As Wilson finished talking with Jackie she said "Of course, I understand that." "Yeah, just keep an eye out yeah?" "Yeah of course."

Season 7 ep 10
As Jackie was with a prisoner at the hospital receiving chemo for cancer, Jackie was talking with one of the doctors. "I personally believe being transferred to a prison closer to a hospital, will help her recovery. This is getting too much for her." Jackie nodded and said "The paperwork would take months, and sometimes the transfers don't work out. The board can step in and cancel the transfer, even if it is for lifesaving treatment." "That's horseshit.." said the doctor. "Yes, well that's how it goes unfortunately. Prisoners who are high risk even with a disease are to be guarded at all times." "And what is this prisoner going to do? She can barely move. That I would consider in need of transfer." "It isn't up to me. I'm just an officer of corrections." "I can see that." "The disrespect I can hear in the tone of your voice disturbs me. But if you have a problem with it, contact the DPP. I'm sure they will listen to you. Doctor." "Touche. It's a battle I won't win.." the doctor nodded and walked away, as the doctors brought out the prisoner. "That was quick." said Jackie. "May we talk in private officer?" Jackie looked over her shoulder and called over another guard. "Take her to the brawler." "Alright." The guard took the prisoner with her and Jackie said "What's going on?" "Normally I wouldn't tell you this, but she's refused anymore treatment." the doctor passed over the folder and said "Your governor should read this." "Shit.." said Jackie. "Does her family know about this?" "According to prison records, she doesn't have family, the only family she has is the prisoners." "When you get back, please for the love of god, let her tell them." Jackie nodded and said "They'll be heartbroken, but as a unit we stay together. Everyone does." The doctor then said "Tell the governor everything." and he walked away. Jackie holding the folder in disbelief got her phone out and called Wilson. "Governor Wilson, Underline." "Jackson it's me. We're coming back with the prisoner." "Already? That was quick.." "She's made a choice, Jackson. She's refusing anymore treatment. I need you to gather the officers for a meeting. I'm on my way back now." "Alright, take care." Jackie hung up the phone and went outside to the brawler and said under her breathe "Fuck..." Jackie got in the brawler in the passenger side and did up her belt. "Not good news is it?" said the officer. "Nah mate. Those women will be a mess when she tells them." "You should read it." "I won't. I'll let Wilson tell the guards, and then we can make a plan." "What's to plan? If it was me.." "It's not Hunter.. it's not you. I know where you are going with this.. In the end, we didn't make that choice." "You seem hostile to this.. has someone you known gone through this?" Jackie looked down and said "one of my best mates did. a teaching mate. went through months of treatment for cancer, and in the end he came to work one day. We were in a meeting talking about things, first thing on a Monday morning. Little did we know he suffered a fatal stroke in that meeting, and it wasn't until the lunch break someone found him." "Who found him?" "Greg did. Greg found him. When he did, he shut the door and closed his eyes. The school was put on lockdown and the body taken away." "Why lockdown?" "is was the only way to do it without the students knowing. But they knew.. the school was always in lockdown for something.. I fuckin' hated that school.." "What sits there now?" "Apartments. shoddy ones at that." "That's something at least." Jackie looked up and said "Its difficult for me, but I think at this stage where someone has said 'enough treatment' they fought a battle, and even if they lose the battle, they proved that they are stronger for doing so." "I can agree there." as the brawler made it back to the prison, the prisoner was taken back inside and Jackie met with Wilson. "This is for you. The folder." Jackie passed it over as Hunter said "Catch up with you guys later, got another grunge run." Hunter got back in the brawler and drove off. "Really wish he would stop calling it that." "The hospital run he calls the grunge run? Why?" "I don't know.. Is everyone ready?" "Yeah, I have one of the nurses in to. Everybody needs to hear this." Jackie and Wilson made it to the staffroom as Jackie sat down. The nurse was over with Wilson reading the file and Jackie was talking with Hammer. "You think about that to often." "Yeah sure. What ever you say." Wilson cleared his throat and said "Prisoner Trina Anderson, our prisoner with stage 3 breast cancer, has refused anymore treatment." the officers murmured. "Um.. according to this, she was given the all clear, but they were the wrong results, she treatment stopped until a month ago, then the decision to end treatment was made by the prisoner." "What do we do now?" "Does she get released to die on the outside?" said Hammer. "She can't. She's still seen as a threat.." said Greg. "She can barely fuckin' move. We move her to a medical holding cell." said another officer. Wilson clearing his throat said "Those aren't options.. The prisoners already know of her condition, they'll take good care of her. But we try to keep things as normal as possible, Anderson will no longer take work duty, and will confined to rest. It's up to Anderson if she goes to a holding unit." "What happens if a prisoner gets to her first?" "Then we will deal with that." "What hard about it, is all the officers have been around for her treatment. it's compromised all of us.." said Greg. "Yeah, months of treatment, we probably thought of a friends battle or a family battle. Thinking out it has sent me stir-crazy. Reading that folder, Anderson's done a lot of things, but how the story ends is up to her.." as Wilson said "I'll have a chat with the peer worker, the rest of you need to work, keep your mind active." everyone stood up and left as Wilson went to his office. Hammer knocked on the door. "Governor, the peer worker, to see you." "Thanks Hammer." "Governor, special call." "Anderson settling in?" "As much as you can. Why?" "You need to know this I've just informed my officers, I'll inform you. Anderson has rejected anymore treatment, and she's been taken off work detail and ordered to rest." "Jesus Christ.." "What happens next when she gets worse?" "The DPP say she's still considered a High A risk and she can't be released, but until Anderson says so, she'll remain in your unit. When Anderson makes the decision to be placed in a medical holding cell things will go from there." "She can barely move now. She isn't the person who came in for murder 10 years ago. As bad as it sounds one of the prisoners may hotshot her." "I figure that may happen, but you all need to just leave taking someone out for now." "She fought cancer for months, what happened? for her to change her mind?" "She was given the all clear." "And?" "They weren't her results. treatment stopped for that month, and the cancer spread." "Oh fuck.." "Yeah, it's as rough as it sounds." "I have to speak with the ladies..speak with Anderson." Wilson nodded and said "Listen to me Walmack, until they know, you don't know." Walmack nodded as Wilson said "Officer Brennan." Hammer opened the door and escorted the peer worker out. Jackie was sitting outside by herself as Diane came outside. "Thinking about life?" "Seems the one thing I keep thinking about." "You ok though?" "I don't think I'll ever be ok. That's a question I don't think I can ever answer." "Puts things in perspective. We as guards are like family, these prisoners share their lives everyday." Jackie smiled and said "We put up fights everyday. I couldn't imagine, receiving the wrong results. You feel like you've won, but to have it shoved back in your throat, that would be devastating." Diane nodded as Julia was walking toward them. "That's rough.." "What happened?" "I just walked past H block unit. All I could hear was crying. Anderson told them." "How is she doing?" "Well at the moment. Could change any moment though." "I never expected to see something like this. The DPP refusing to release a prisoner with cancer.." "She did murder someone after all." "What she gonna do now? get out of the wheelchair and bash someone?" said Jackie. "I think what the DPP are getting at is if she got released that she would make a 'remarkable recovery' and end up on the news weeks later after running someone over." "True..". The next day as some of the guards were walking around in the rain and others were inside some prisoners were just sitting outside their cells. Wilson was talking with Hampton. "That was the reason. The 'I'm almost dead.. but doing fine now' is the reason that Anderson couldn't be released. cancer or not." "Come on, thats feeble." as work detail had started, Jackie was roaming the halls, she turned to face the wall as she had gloves on. She went into a cell and placed a syringe under a toilet seat before leaving the cell. Jackie made her way into staffroom where she took the gloves off and went over to the computer and looked up the security camera footage, she edited a file which showed her leaving the cells of H block and used a fake guard name and number in the process, she edited in a prisoner entering the cells. she saved it to footage and logged out of the computer, deleting who was last on there. Jackie stood up and went over to the toilets. Jackie vomited into the toilet and flushed before coming out again. Hampton and Wilson were standing there talking as Jackie said "What's the go gentlemen?" "Our arguing over Anderson." "Of course.." then Wilson's radio went off. "Sierra 15 to sierra 1 we have a code black in H Block. I repeat a code black." Wilson grabbed his radio and said "Is the prisoner ok sierra 15?" "No.. prisoner is dead." "On my way." Hampton looked at Wilson and Jackie, before all three of them made it to the cells. "Police been called?" "Work detail is sketchy, we sent police the footage and we've ordered a cell toss. Whoever gave Anderson the hotshot, she knew it was coming, didn't put up a fight." Jackie looked down as they went into her cell. Greg looked at Hampton and Wilson and said "I believe who did it gave her a fatal dose of morphine." "Could it have been a suicide attempt?" "No." said Greg. "You never know. She got devastating news." said Hammer. "Not making things easier Hammer." Hammer folded his arms and said "I'm just saying." "Then don't." as the police arrived and took the body away, Wilson said "Do the cell toss." Jackie nodded and walked away. "Is she ok?" "She'll never be ok. This job is messy sometimes." said Greg. 10 minutes later they did a cell toss. "Find anything?" said Wilson. Greg said "We did. We found a syringe with blood on it." "Shit.." "Blood matched Anderson. No prints on the syringe." "So no slotting?" "Unfortunately not.." "We'll have to wait on tests.". A few weeks later Wilson got the results of the blood work. "So what was it?" said Hammer. "It was an overdose of morphine. Medical guys said it was deliberate." "She did that to herself?" said Greg. Wilson nodded. "It's all in the report." "But how did the syringe end up in another prisoners cell?" "I assume an officer found her, hid the syringe." "So an officers involved?" Wilson shook his head. "I don't believe that. But I do believe, that whoever did it, was for the right reasons.." Greg lowered his head and so did Hammer. "But this is a warning.. Any other prisoner gets diagnosed with cancer, they will be transferred to Fairbanks." Greg looked up and said "That's insane.." "I spoke with Hampton about it, and he agreed we need to send those with cancer to Fairbanks, we are an hour away from hospital, and Fairbanks is 10 minutes away. We can't do the run anymore." "They'll come back here though?" "No. When they're cleared of cancer, they'll be transferred interstate." as Wilson finished up the meeting, Jackie and Greg went home. Jackie was standing in the kitchen as Greg said "Are you okay?" Jackie slid down onto the floor and said "I found her.." "And you didn't report it?" "I couldn't.. I had it in my hands and I couldn't.." Greg held her shoulders and said "How come the needle ended up in someone else's cell?" "I had the gloves on, and moved it. figured if I moved it a prisoner would get slotted.." "It was ruled a suicide, overdose, you missed the meeting." Jackie lowered her head and said "I was thinking.." Greg knelled down as Jackie said "Are you gonna report me?" "No. I'm not going to.. I've done the same thing as well." "You did?" "Yeah, working at Fairbanks, sometimes some of the prisoners got so sick, you have to do something." Greg hugged Jackie she started crying and Greg said "It's alright.."

Season 7 ep 15
Jackie was standing in the waiting bay for the brawler to come in as Greg was standing beside her. "Heard a former prisoner is in with this lot.." "Know what for?" "Nah didn't read that far in. But if its who I think it is, I'm disappointed for her." as the brawler pulled up and stopped, the drivers got out and opened the doors. Two prisoners. Jackie frowned as she saw the other prisoner. "I thought so.." she said under her breath. "Let's go." said Greg. as Jackie shut the door to the brawler she nodded to the drivers and walked behind the other prisoners. As Jackie and another officer strip searched Hardwood and took her to the room to take details. "I really thought it was a different Jesse Hardwood..I'm disappointed in you." said Jackie. "Didn't you get hit by a car the day I was released?" "irrelevant. What happened Hardwood? You had a family waiting on the outside for you. A young son. A life and a job with the board. what happened?" "Hampton fired me for misconduct, and I tried so hard to keep my life on the straight and narrow." "Yet you ended up back here. Those prisoners, and these officers won't go easy on you now. You worked your arse off. Had a job waiting for you practically the moment you stepped out those gates, and you threw it away.. For what a bit of fun?" "If you call drunk driving and some how killing your family fun yeah.." "You did WHAT?" "I got in the car drunk, drove off and through traffic lights. Hit a car, got out to check on them, and then saw who the driver was.." Jackie rubbed her face and said "You killed the rest of your family." Jackie stood up as did Hardwood. "You're a killer." "I was drunk." "That's not an excuse, you shouldn't have been driving." Hardwood raised her fist and said "You better watch it Miles." "Are you threatening me. Not a good look." Jackie had her hand on her radio and said "Just tell me that your son wasn't in the car.." Hardwood nodded and said "He was.." Jackie sat down in anger and said "You had everything.. everything.." Hardwood was still standing as she jumped onto the desk grabbing Miles who grunted in the process and then pinned Miles to the wall and at the same time Jackie's hand managed to hit the button on the wall with the PA saying "All available officers to the information room, code red. I repeat code red." Jackie had a hand to her pepper spray and said "Back down." Hardwood then pushed Miles to the floor and raised her fist to her. "I dare you." as Hardwood was about to Miles sprayed her in the face with pepper spray as officers made it into the room. Wilson grabbed Hardwood's shoulders as Julia helped picked her up. Diane came over to Jackie and said "You ok?" helping her off of the floor. "Yeah, I'm good." Jackie put her spray back into the pouch and said "I'm good. Her not so much." Wilson said "I see you got the bad end of this deal. I'll inform the board of this, extra charges of assaulting an officer, on top of manslaughter caused by drink driving. You'll be in here for a long time." Hardwood then said "Do your best." "Shut up Jesse. You blew your chance when you got into that car drunk." said Wilson. "Slot her and inform the police she attacked an officer." Jackie and Julia nodded and took Jesse to the slot, where Jackie said along the walk "You had no right to attack me like that.." "I didn't hit you.." "You pinned me to the wall and then threw me on the ground. Spraying you was the only way I could get you off of me." "Knowing what's in store, you won't be offered protection." "They'll lynch me.." said Hardwood. "Maybe it's what you deserve." said Diane. "They lynched Boomer after she killed Phil." "Boomer did what?" "Yeah two years ago. pushed him down the stairs and stabbed him. Left him for dead. He didn't survive the night." as they made it to the slot, they undid the handcuffs and put Hardwood in the cells. An hour later Hampton arrived and spoke with Jackie. "You're okay yeah?" "Yeah won't be the first time and wont be the last. Just glad she didn't have a shiv.. Can I ask what did she get fired for?" "Breach of conduct. She gave out private information of a prisoner to a third party. We had to let her go. She wasn't in breach of parole as it was her own information, but still." "I don't think we were told about that. I heard about someone hitting a car and killing their own family.. She doesn't seem remorseful.." "She wasn't the judge revoked parole as soon as she came in to the courtroom. She was 4 times over the limit. She got remanded but when she attacked you, the police and then I was informed, the judge took on an immediate sentence of 25 years." "How does someone do that? Get into a car drunk and just drive. Crashing and then seeing who it was.." "Jackie.. don't think about it. She did a hit and run when she saw the driver. the security footage showed she got the driver out of the car and then ran away. No one survived that crash and how she did is a miracle." Jackie rubbed her head as she said "She worked her arse off to get out of here. What happens when she goes into general? Their gonna kill her, they know what she did." Jackie rubbed her eyes as Greg walked into the room and said "Hey sorry to interrupt. Hardwood wants to talk to you both." Hampton nodded and said "Of course." Jackie nodded as well. Hampton walked away as Greg said "Hey look. Be careful alright. I have a surprise for you later alright." Jackie smiled as she walked away with Hampton. Greg looked at Diane and said "Everything been planned?" Diane nodded and said "It's all in place." Jackie and Hampton made it to the slot as Wilson was standing in the corridor. "She wants to go into general." "Let us talk to her first. alright." Hampton was given a piece of paper and said "This is to be signed. I don't want legal messy stuff when she gets released. Its on her." Hampton said "of course." the guard opened the door to the slot and opened the cell Hardwood was in. "What do you want?" "I'd like to apologise to both of you.. I let you down.." "You let everyone down." said Hampton. "You let this entire prison down. You did a hit and run left your own family to die in the street. You are nothing but a drunk piece of shit. The board saw how hard you worked and we went out of our WAY to give you a job, and still you managed to let us down." "Life seemed more clearer in prison it really did." "You wanted to get out of here more than any prisoner. You took on the role of peer worker, you saw how happy everyone was for you. You had a son, you had a family. You had everything, and you let us all down." Jackie standing silent as she watched on. Hampton handed over a piece of paper. "If you are to go into general, my officers won't be protecting you, they will be protecting the others. I've seen prisoners who got released take life a little more seriously then you. You showed no remorse in that court room. You killed your own family." Hardwood signed the piece of paper and Hampton nodded at Jackie, who didn't say anything. They were walking into general when Hardwood said "I'm sorry.." "Don't talk to me. You don't get to talk to me." said Jackie as another officer took Hardwood. Jackie sighed as she leaned against the wall. 4 hours later Greg called Jackie over the radio "Sierra 15 calling sierra 6, requesting your presence in the education corridor over." "Sierra 15 copy that." Jackie walked down to education where Greg was waiting. "What's the matter?." Greg smiled and said "close your eyes, I'll guide you into the room." Jackie closed her eyes as Greg put his hand over her eyes and opened the door to one of the rooms. Another officer put his hand over Jackie's eyes as Greg was on the ground on one knee. Greg nodded to the officer and they moved his hands and Greg said "You can open your eyes now." Jackie opened them and put her hand to her mouth as Greg said "This may be a strange place to do this, but... Over the course of these last few months, I've gotten to reconnect and get to know you again and after years of knowing each other through different teaching areas, I'm so glad to have met you again and to have been around to help and see you through some of the tough times. Jackie would do the honors in making me the happiest man in the world?" Greg produced a box with a ring in it and said "Will you marry me?" Jackie smiling beyond belief said "Yes, of course!" the room clapped and cheered as Greg put the ring on Jackie's finger and kissed her. Hampton said "Congratulations. Something happy for today." Hampton hugged both of them as Wilson did the same thing and as did the officers in the room. "Here's to health and happiness for the new couple!" said Diane.

Season 8 ep 14
As Jackie was working at reception she was talking with a member of the public. "Remember, next time. Sign in and make sure that you come here sober." The member of the public left as Wilson came into reception and said "Jackie.." "Yes?" "Everything alright?" "Yeah. Its fine. Just drunk members of the public." "Of course. Told them to come back sober?" "Yes, Governor." Wilson nodded as he walked back into the prison room. Wilson walked into the security room where Greg and Diane were stationed. "Any news on those prisoners?" "Nah. Its quiet. So just making sure things stay that way." As Wilson watched the screen he saw a member of the public walk into the prison reception. "Officer, I requested to see a prisoner." "Well, this is a prison, who did you want to see?" "My sister. Jane." Jackie looked up and said "I'm sorry, but Jane's been in the slot for about a week." "What for?" "Assault. She assaulted another prisoner. So badly she lost her eye." the member of the public nodded and said "I guess." as no other guards were in reception, Jackie said "Are you alright?" "I am.. But will you be?" "Excuse me? Are you threatening me?" Jackie walked from behind the desk to face the member of the public. The member of the public then produced a gun. "Jesus Christ." "Hands up." Jackie raised her arms as Wilson looked on from the security room. "Put the prison on lockdown, now!" said Wilson, as Greg said "I'll call the police." Greg reached over for the phone and called. "The phone's not working." "Oh shit." as Jackie was standing with her arms up she said "You have every reason to be mad. But it shouldn't be at me." "She got 30 years for murder, now what is it for grievous bodily harm?" "It's another 6-10 years at least." The member of the public looked down before looking back up with the weapon firmly in her hands. "I don't know why you want to injure an officer." "I have every right to." "You have no right. You come in here, threaten an officer and are already facing a sentence of 10 years for carrying an illegal weapon on prison premises." "My sister means a lot to me. And you're letting her rot in the slot. Anyway, what is the slot?" "It's isolation. It's all that is." "Take your belt off and put it on the floor." Jackie using one hand took off her belt and held it as she said "I hope you know what you're doing." "Drop it. On the floor." Jackie let go of her belt and it dropped to the floor, putting her hand back up. Jackie swallowed hard. "What the hell is she doing?" said Greg who was still trying to get through to the police. Wilson said "Following instructions." "Sierra 9 to sierra 1, prisoners are in their cells. Lockdown complete. What else do you want us to do?" "Sierra 9, get all available officers to medical and to the brawler bay. One of you has to get in contact with the police, one of you has to have forgotten to put your phone away in your locker. Tell them we are in lockdown and an officer has been taken hostage, the phones aren't working." "Roger that sierra 1." Wilson put his radio down, as Julia and many other guards were coming into the room. "What's going on down there?" "It's a prisoner's sister. Linda Jane's sister, Melinda. Jackie's radio was on at the moment and we caught why she came. It was to visit her sister, she got pissed off learning she was in the slot, now Jackie's standing out there, while we're in here.", as Greg was watching the screen, Jackie was trying to control the situation. "You'll never get into the prison now. It's in lockdown and the only way out is through a security door. The only way in is through the visitors centre." "That that's the way I'll go." "That door there. Behind you. Where does that lead?" "Into the staff room. Nothing there." "Nothing good will come of this Melinda. Back down.", Melinda walked over to the staff reception desk when she pressed the button to open the door. The gun firmly pointed at Jackie, as the door opened but locked again. "Just business, Officer Miles." the loud sound of gunfire rung out. Jackie was hit in the stomach, as she stumbled over to the reception desk and dropped to the ground. Melinda walked over to Jackie's belt and picked up her swipe card walking over to the door and opening it with the card. Melinda used the chair to keep the door open and walked over to Jackie dropping the swipe card on her chest. Melinda walked over to the door and moved the chair as she held the door open as Jackie said "You won't win." "I think I have." the door closed behind Melinda. Jackie looked up and moved the card. "Shit.." she said in agony. "What the fuck just happened?" "I don't know.." "Bring up the reception camera." Greg did so and saw the scene in reception. "Fuck.." said Wilson. "Get up.. come on. get up.." "Jesus, where the fuck is Melinda?" as they checked the other cameras they saw her making her way toward solitary. "Sierra 9 to sierra 1, police are on their way. an ambulance is also on the way. We heard shots. What's going on?" Wilson looked up and said "through his radio, attention all units, this is a code red, we have an active shooter on site, if you find Melinda Jane, spray her if you have to." "Roger that sierra 1." Julia then said "Zoom in on Jackie's injuries." Greg did so and he said "Looks like a gun shot wound to the abdomen." as he saw Jackie reaching over for her radio, Diane said "Are you sure?" "She's wearing a fucking shirt. I can't see through the screen." "Sierra 6 to sierra 1.." "Jackie.. thank god.." "She's in the building." "We know.." "Stay where you are, please." "Jackie, do you reckon you could crawl to medical?" Jackie laughed and said "Yeah, I'll roll over and get my footing." as Wilson turned around Greg had gone. "Fuck sake. Greg's gone." "You two stay here, I'm going to medical." Wilson rushed off, as Greg made his way to reception. "Jesus.. Jackie." Greg got over to Jackie who managed to put her belt back on, looked at Greg and said "You made it." "I'm getting you to medical." Greg grabbed Jackie shoulders as Jackie groaned in pain and Greg lifted up Jackie and got her out of reception. Greg said "Lucky.. she wasn't any closer." Greg's radio went off. "Attention all units, we have apprehended Melinda Jane, she's being held in the slot, handcuffed." "Copy that." said Greg. As Greg was running to medical with Jackie in his arms. Wilson was waiting for them in medical, he opened the door as he put Jackie on the bed, the team took off Jackie's belt and handed it to Greg. The doctor lifted up her shirt and said "Abdo. entry.." he turned around and said "Would you help me in turning her over?" Greg and Wilson nodded as they did that "No exit. Means its still in there." Jackie rolled over to her back. the doctor put the oxygen mask on Jackie's face as he said "How long was she there for on the floor?" "At least 20 minutes." Jackie said "Did they get her?" "No need to worry about that Jackie, they got her.." "good." the radio then went off. "Sierra 9 to sierra 1 police and the ambulance are here. Escorting them in now." "Thank you sierra 9." Jackie's head rolled back onto the bed as the paramedics came in an put Jackie on the stretcher and too the ambulance. "Go. Greg." said Wilson, as Hampton walked in with police. "What the fuck happened?" "Prisoners sister came in, got mad, used an officers swipe card, and shot her own sister and an officer." "How the shit did she get a gun in?" "I don't know." "You better find a reason. Because this is a breach of the highest order." Hampton walked away with the police. A few hours later things were getting back to normal as reception was closed to replace the carpet. Hampton got off the phone at a staff meeting. "That was Greg. It's good news. Jackie is out of surgery and stable, but under heavy sedation. Greg said due to her history, they needed to monitor pain levels and brain waves." "Due to the seizures from the car accident?" "She hadn't had one in a long time. Doctors are being cautious." Diane then said "We failed today. There should've been more guards in reception." "Normally there is. But some were out on transfers. Was happening all day.."

Season 8 ep 15
Wilson was in his office on the phone as Julia and Diane were in the office with several other guards 5 days after the shooting and said "Thanks for the update, Greg we'll see her sometime when we get off shift. Not all at once of course, but you know. Thanks Greg. Talk later." Wilson put the phone down and said looked up at his staff and said "Of course, that was Greg." said Diane. Wilson smiled and said "It's good news. Jackie's been moved from ICU to the ward. She's awake, but is refusing to talk to anyone at the moment.." "Did he say the extent of her injuries?" "Yeah, he did. He said that the bullet lodged in her gall bladder and they had to remove it and she had a blood transfusion, she did lose a lot of blood. Doc says she'll make a full recovery though." "That's good news.." said Diane, as the door opened with Officer Simmons saying "Sir, Hampton is here to see you." Simmons moved out of the way as Hampton walked in in a fit and said "You can all stay. I am still highly aware of the situation with Officer Miles, who I saw just an hour ago. She hasn't said a word since. One of the best officers is sitting in hospital while we had a security breach. The footage from the carpark shows Jane loading a weapon in the carpark. Miles was the ONLY one in the reception area, when visiting hours should've been over. She pointed the weapon and shot officer Miles, used her swipe card, threw that back in her face, got into the prison and shot her sister." "What happened to her by the way?" "Funny that.. She was sent to Wentworth. The prisoners lynched her, and she was found dead in her cell hours later. The prisoners did that for Miles. This entire place is on a thin line. Another indecent like this, and you'll be looking for a new governor. Or job." Hampton walked out of the room as Wilson nodded and said "get back to work, the lot of you." as the staff left, but for Diane. "Diane, I just hope you know, the next time something like this happens, its not going to be my neck on the line." "Are you saying this is my fault?" "You know as well as I do, that you always leave an officer after visiting hours are over. You seem to forget the visitors entry needs to be locked. But right now, I'm letting you off with a warning. Forget to lock the entry/exit door again and you'll be wiping down benches at a local Maccas." "Yeah alright. Understandable I'll keep doing my job. Reception duties are mine to." Diane nodded and left the room. Wilson grabbed his radio and said "Sierra 1 to sierra 9." "Sierra 9 copy." "I need to see you in my office." "Copy that sierra 1." a few minutes later Simmons was in his office. "Simmons, I need you to take over as governor for the rest of the day. I'm going to see someone." "Sir, are you sure thats a good idea?" "Yes, Diane is in reception for the rest of the day, and I need someone I can trust." "You don't trust Diane anymore?" Wilson nodded and said "Diane left Jackie in reception by herself. She didn't lock the visitors entry/exit door." "Fuck...." "I trust Diane with a lot of things, but after this, I don't think I can during work hours anymore." "So is there anyone else you don't trust?" "No, its about it. Diane has done so much for the prison. But this is just unacceptable." "Of course." Wilson put his coat on and grabbed his radio. "This is sierra 1 to all units, I am going out for the rest of the day. Simmons will be acting governor for the rest of the day." Wilson put his radio down as units responded. Wilson said "Good luck." Wilson then left. Simmons stood at the governors desk and sat down. Wilson met up with Greg and said "How is she at the moment?" "Quiet, hasn't really said much." "Could be shock." "Who knows." "Do you mind if I go and see her?" "No, not at all, she's awake, staring at the ceiling mostly." "Maybe she'll talk to me." Wilson who had flowers smiled and walked off. He spoke with a doctor who said it was fine to see her. "Looking grim there Miles.." Jackie turned her head to see Wilson. "Wilson." "How are you feeling?" "Stiff and sore." Wilson put the flowers in the flower pot and sat in the chair beside the bed. "The prison misses you." "I'm sure it does." "Have Diane and Julia seen you yet?" "Julia did, but Diane's being useless again." Wilson chuckled and said "You know it was her fault. She failed to lock the door after visitor hours." Jackie looked at Wilson and said "I know.. I watched her leave. But you enjoyed watching it on the security camera." "No. I never like to see an officer hurt." as a doctor was in the room taking down notes, Jackie said "When can I get out of hospital, doc?" "It'll be a few weeks at least. rest up and rehabilitation. But work right now is out of the question." Jackie scoffed and said "You don't get it do you doc?" "Get what? The fact you were shot and we had to remove your gall bladder. That we had you in ICU to monitor your condition, or the fact that we had to keep your pain levels down because of previous injuries." "I work in a dangerous profession. I have for almost 30 years. And I am not going to lie here for weeks, thinking about everything I have lost. I lost a lot during my time as a guard, lost some good friends. Watched a guards wife breakdown, and been to one too many funerals. You want to know my motivation for why I am a corrections officer?" "Why, what is it?" "I do it for my son. He was murdered. So I can't lie in here with those thoughts going through my head." "Mr Wilson, are you sure you'd have Officer Miles back at work so soon?" "They say you heal best outside of hospital. And its what my officers need. They get hurt end up in here. They don't have routine or discipline. And that's what they get when they are at work, routine. Jackie will be well looked after at work. I can assure that." "Light duties?" "There's nothing light about our work duties. Muster and evening count. That's what Jackie will be doing here." Jackie smiled and said "I guess your opinion is irreverent now doc." "Well you are healing a lot faster then a normal gun shot victim would be. Some aren't out of ICU after a few days. I'll have a chat with the surgeon and we'll go from there." the doctor nodded and walked off as Jackie laughed. "On one condition though Jackie. You do return to work, on light duties. Muster, final count and reception duties. And you come straight to me, if you are in any pain. Deal?" "Deal.", the doctor walked back in and said "The surgeon is happy with your progression, and in the morning you will start physio for a few days and make sure you rest in between. Otherwise now I can leave you alone." the doctor nodded and walked away as Diane and Julia walked in. "Nice to see you." said Diane. "I thought you weren't going to come.." said Jackie. "I had a lot to answer for. I'm sorry this happened." "I know. And look, I'm not scared of dying. I'm scared of what comes after it.. I can't sit in and have those thoughts. Waking up and being angry isn't going to help me.." Wilson looked at Jackie and said "Just so you know.. That Jane woman was killed at Wentworth." "Jesus.." "Yeah, claimed it as revenge. They were furious. The governor sends her love by the way." "Good old Fergo."

"Alright thank you. good luck." Wilson hung up the phone and Jensen was standing in the room at the same time with Greg, Diane and Julia. "That was Jackie." "And?" "She's taken extended leave. She'll be off indefinitely." "Did she say where she was going?" "Thailand. Rehabilitation centre for injuries. Said that the place she's going to uses techniques to deal with pain from scar tissue injuries as well." "So she changed her mind about returning to work, then." said Julia. "She had a conversation with our prison psychiatrist whilst at the hospital. She finally realised that returning to work would be a bit stupid, 2 weeks after she was injured. But she's been working non-stop as an officer for over 15 years. She deserves this." "Yes, of course." said Wilson as he said "We'll be an officer down, but we can make up for it, easily." Jensen nodded and said "For the time being it'll be easier I take on Jackie's work. Until she returns I'll do her shifts." "Doubling up, Jensen. You're keen." said Greg. "Always. Jackie deserved a lot better then what happened." "Yeah alright." said Diane. "What's your problem Diane." said Julia. "I made a mistake, yes I did, and I will never forgive myself. We are in a position of trust, and I broke it. Jackie deserved better to be shot in reception, she didn't deserve to be shot at all. I regret not locking the door." Wilson then said "While we're talking about it. I have lost faith in my deputy governor. Have had for awhile now. Jensen." Jensen looked up and said "Yes?" "You will come in to the role of deputy, while officer Miles will return to senior officer." Diane nodded said "Thought so." "It's not an easy choice, Diane. You know I can trust you, but after this, I don't know." "It was a mistake." Wilson dismissed everyone else as they left, Diane was swapping over badges. "It was a mistake, Diane, but at this point in time it was reckless and dangerous. The next time, another officer wont be lucky." "Jane shot her sister and was murdered in another prison. That wasn't my doing. She had a weapon, we were all out in the brawler bay." "Surely you must've known." "Must've known what?" Wilson turned the computer screen around and played the security footage 20 minutes before the shooting. Showing Diane coming back from lunch and standing at the door, seeing visitors leave. And walking away from the door. Diane stopped before turning into the prison. Wilson paused the video and said "You saw them leave, and then walked back into the prison. You know that its regulation to lock the visitors doors after the hours are up. You did that." Diane looked down and said "What happens now?" "Nothing. The police can't charge you with any crime, but the board were given the footage and Hampton got in contact, he told me the demotion will remain in place indefinitely." "Of course it will." "Look, Diane, I understand what being deputy meant to you, but right now it seems that you're not up to it. What happened I know was an accident, but all of us are under pressure, one officer down and one taking on double shifts. Just please watch it Diane." "Trust is paramount in this job, and if you don't trust me I don't know if I can keep doing this." "That's the thing. I do trust you. But right now, I don't know what to think." Diane nodded and left the office as Jensen was in the staffroom as he was in his locker something fell out of his locker. He picked it up and saw that it was a folder from Jackie's locker. Jensen looked at it and started reading it. Jensen stopped reading and took it with him to the governor's office. "Where did you say you found this." "It was in my locker." "How?" "Jackie must've put it there." "Look I'll get Greg up here. Maybe he can explain things." Wilson contacted Greg via radio and Greg came in moments later. "Did you know about this Greg?" "She received it months ago. It was from Phil. He had mates in the department, cause of his lawyer background." Wilson rubbed his face. "So, this Ricky Bolton. His dad was a gangland leader. So far what they know is Bolton had a father, but DNA results came back inconclusive. But they found out the leader of this gang worked in Queensland Corrections during Jackie's time as a teacher, they tracked down the movements of the officer, and the officer works here." said Greg. "Does Jackie know that?" "Not about the officer." "Fuck.." said Jensen. "Anyone who worked in Queensland, could be the father of the kid who murdered Jackie's son?" "That's half the guards that work here." said Wilson. "Those 10 years, Jackie worked in Queensland, so did you, Murphy, Simmons, Brennan and about 8 other guards." Jensen looked up and said "I wasn't in corrections then. I was a brickie. I don't have kids." Greg looked up and said "This conversation doesn't leave this room. I saw how devastated Jackie was. I sat with her when her son was in her arms. I held a jumper on his stab wounds. Then when he was taken away I sat with her in the pouring rain for about 3 hours. If Jackie finds out its an officer here, she'll go mental." "That's why I said this discussion doesn't leave this room." Greg nodded and said, "It's not the reason why Jackie decided to leave for Thailand." "Is she even in Thailand?" "Yeah, she landed a few hours ago. She needs to focus on her health first. This rehab centre has worked well for other officers as well." "Yes. It's real good." then Wilson's radio went off. "Sierra 5 to sierra 1 we have a situation in the dining room." Wilson said "On my way." Wilson then said "We best get going." Greg then said "Not a word leaves this room." they all nodded and said "Of course.'

Season 8 ep 19
As Ferguson was roaming the hallways of the prison, she bumped into Jackie. "Welcome back.. Officer Miles." "Ferguson." "My, my aren't we a little rude after our forced medical leave." "It wasn't forced, Ferguson. I took it on my own accord." "Own accord? A little meeting we had when you flew out said that you had to be talked into it. It's dangerous you know. Maybe next time the person shooting you, might be shooting to kill." "How do you know they weren't?" "Be in the force long enough and you know these things." Jackie scoffed and walked away but stopped when Ferguson said "I overheard a conversation. Too do with you son." Jackie turned and said "What about?" "They found a folder in Jensen's locker. It was a letter from Phil, detailing that 10 officers were around in Queensland Corrections, the time you were in education." "I don't believe you." "You don't have too." Ferguson walked right over to Jackie and said "10 officers including myself. But I'm letting you know now it wasn't me, because I have no connections to the mob. And I don't have children and I was never married." "You're married to the job." Ferguson laughed as she then pinned Jackie to the wall with her elbow. "You need to know this as well. I don't know how you can't see it, but Brennan has never said a word about his son, and I know for a fact he sent his son to the same school as your boy and I don't know how you can't see the connection, maybe you trust him too much, maybe you met up and decided to do things together, but I see him as my number one suspect. I know you don't like me and you know that I hate you. So just leave this conversation here." "Will do." Ferguson released Jackie and goaded her some more and said "You also might want to know, Diane was demoted over the entire incident. She's wallowing in pity about being a senior officer. I've been one for many years. I've bided my time. You can wait a few more decades." "If I last that long." "Won't be long, one day someone will let you join your son." Jackie then slapped Ferguson across the face and as Ferguson looked at Jackie, Ferguson chuckled as Jackie this time punched Ferguson in the face and was about to do it again as Ferguson grabbed Jackie's arm and twisted it. "Next time you do that, I'll break your fucking arm. Remember I'm smarter then you will ever be, Officer Miles." Ferguson heard heels in the distance and let go of Miles' arm and did it with enough force to hit her again, Ferguson fell backward, this time drawing blood, as Wilson and Diane looked at Ferguson who was on the ground Miles standing over her. "Jesus Christ." said Diane. Wilson looked at Jackie and said "Jackie, my office. Wait for me." Wilson knelt beside Ferguson and said "Ferguson, can you hear me?" Wilson shook her shoulders. "She's out cold." said Diane. Wilson picked up his and called for medical. "Sierra 1 to medical we require immediate assistance in the hallway. And officer has just been attacked by another officer and is out cold." "On our way sierra 1." as Ferguson came to a few moments later in medical, Wilson said "Adena, tell me what happened?" "We were talking, Jackie was agitated about something. I tried to talk her down." "Security footage, backs your story, you grabbed her arm why?" "It was an attempt to stop the attack. Obviously didn't work." "How is she doc?" "She can stay in medical for now, but its best officer Ferguson goes home. The eye socket is not broken, but rest will be needed" "No.." said Ferguson. "It won't be the last time I will be attacked. I've been hit with chairs, bats, shot at. You name it I've lived through it." "Are you sure, Officer Ferguson?" "Yes." "Alright, if you insist." "Governor." "Yes?" "I intend to press charges." "No changing your mind?" Ferguson shook her head. "No, Governor." "The police are already here concerning another matter, they were informed of the incident and we will give them the footage and your statements." Wilson turned to Diane and said "I'm going to deal with your sister." Wilson left and went to his office. "Do you have anything to say Jackie? Security footage shows you attacking an officer, unprovoked. Diane and myself saw you standing over her, you are 5 foot 7 and you brought her down like a pig to slaughter." "She goaded me." "Goaded? That doesn't look like goading. You attacked her!" Jackie went on about her son Ryan as Wilson had enough. "Jackie.. Jackie.. Shut up! For 5 minutes. I don't want to hear anymore about your goddamn son, ever again. We are sick to death of hearing about Ryan. Yes what happened to him was tragic, but I don't need the same story every time someone goads you. You just came off extended medical leave, and you do this." "What are you going to do." "I'm afraid that Ferguson has pressed charges, and you will be charged with common assault causing bodily harm. The department has been informed and Hampton has made a punishment for you. You'll be suspended today. And I need you off the premises." Jackie nodded and said "Of course. Whats the sentence for common assault?" "Could be 4 years. Or 350 hours community service. goaded or not, you know better than this Jackie and I am disgusted at your behaviour today. I need your belt and your security passes. You'll be escorted off the premises." Jackie took off her belt and her badge placing them on the table and also took off her epaulets. "Officer Jensen." said Wilson, Jensen opened the door and said "Yes Governor?" "Escort Jackie to reception. The police are waiting for her." Jensen nodded and said "Common Jackie. I haven't got all day." Jensen took out his cuff and put them on Jackie's hands and walked her down to the reception area. "She's all yours boys." Ferguson was watching this all unfold from the reception desk. The police gave Jensen back his cuffs as Ferguson handed the police her statement. Jackie was taken away. A few days later Ferguson was in a meeting with other officers. "Jackie refused to give evidence, not only was she charged with common assault, but contempt of court as well." "Is that her job gone, Governor?" said Julia. "Not normally, but Jackie's record speaks for itself." "How long was she given?" "6 months." "For contempt?" "She was given 5 days for contempt. the assault charge was upheld. She plead guilty the evidence was overwhelming. She attacked a fellow officer, almost could've caused permanent eye damage." Ferguson said "She'll be treated like the rest of them for that time. We can't be seen playing favourites." Wilson agreed and Julia said "You know what happens with officers when they come in as inmates.." "I have no choice." "But the protection unit, at least she'll be fine there.." "She refused to be placed into protection, she'll go straight into the unit and we see what happens." "She'll be killed, this is madness.." "If Jackie is smart enough, she knows these women enough to know that they are going to hurt her anyway. We can't babysit Jackie. She's on her own.." "Are you saying she's fodder?" "I"m saying she should've thought about her actions." said Ferguson. "You pressed charges." "She hit more then once." Wilson then said "I never showed you the full video, here it is." the video played showing Ferguson catching the punch but missing the second and third shot, audio that played was "You need to calm down.." "I am calm." Wilson stopped the video and said "No special treatment. Nothing. She knew what she was doing. She'll do the time."

Season 8 ep 20
"Governor." said Greg. "The Brawler's arrived." Wilson nodded and said "Look, Greg." "I know. We treat her like any other prisoner." Wilson said "Greg. She refused to be placed in protection. You know whats going to happen." "I know." Wilson looked at Greg and said "You'll have to stay away from Jackie for the time being. With her being your wife in this situation, I need you on another area of the prison, until further notice." "Yes Governor." Greg walked off in the other direction and Wilson walked with Diane to the brawler bay. The brawler doors opened and Jackie was helped down from the car. Jackie looked up and saw the disappointed looks on everyone's face. "Take her to admissions. Ferguson's on." "Is that a good idea?" "Greg can't be apart of any of this. And it was a one off. It doesn't matter." as they walked into the admissions area, prisoners were looking on. "Jesus Christ." they said. Wilson nodded and closed the door as Ferguson said "You are Jacqueline Miranda Miles, you were charged with contempt of court and common assault and sentenced to 6 months imprisonment here at Underline Prison, is that correct?" "Yes." Wilson was standing in the room and said "You know what these prisoners will do to you Jackie. You being in here has already made a crowd here outside. They'll get to you first chance they get." "I know that." Ferguson looked at Wilson and said "Do you mind if we have a talk?" "Of course. I'll be in my office. Send her up there when your done here." Wilson left the room and told the crowd to move off and they did. "Why did you contempt yourself Jackie? Refusing to give evidence like that.." "You said the first day we met to stay out of your way. I crossed you, I apologise." "I worked in Queensland for a long time. Worked with a lot of good officers, when I came here I saw that in you." "What happens after? I mean.." "The board won't be happy about it, but I can have a word with them. Contempt isn't really anything, but assault is another matter." "I see why you did it.. I understand." "I shouldn't have goaded you, I should've known better myself." "Well, you are pretty intimidating." "I got that a lot." Diane knocked on the window, Ferguson nodded and released Jackie from her handcuffs and gave her to Diane. Ferguson said "the governor wants to see her." "Alright." Ferguson sat back down and rubbed her temples as Hammer walked past. "Heath!" Hammer stopped and went into the room, shut the door. "How long did she get?" "6 months." "That's a long time for a screw." "Do you reckon that at the end of her sentence that she'll be allowed to return to work?" "Hampton knows the risks of officers having a bad day. The board knows that as well. She'll be on probation for a long time. Will take the governor and her sisters a lot to trust her again." as Ferguson and Hammer continued talking, Wilson was talking with Jackie. "Word is the prisoners are planning to welcome you. You know what that means." "An attack, I know." "You're prepared for what they might do?" "I am aware of what they might do. Sexual assault is common in prison." Wilson lowered his brow and said "Yes that may be, but remember the last person.." "I was the one who found her.. brutalized. She committed suicide weeks later." "We don't have to place you on any watch do we?" Jackie looked up and said "No..", the door then opened and Greg was standing there. "Greg, you can't be here." said Wilson. "Just a minute?" Wilson sighed and said "Fine.. Just a minute." Wilson stood up and left the room and closed the door. Greg hugged Jackie and said "Surely... Jackie you know what happens to our kind in here. I haven't been able to pull myself into seeing you.." "You didn't come to the trial, I know you were working.." "I was ashamed. I know Adena had every right to press charges. But you contempting yourself in court, you put a nail in your coffin. Right now, I can't even be seen in the same room as you. How come you weren't sent to Barnhurst?" "I worked there as well, some of the prisoners would still know me, Wentworth was the same.." "Oh god.." Greg rubbed his head and said "Jackie, you should've know that people will goad you in this job, you can't go around attacking other people. As of right now, you are just another prisoner." Greg stood up and said "I just hope the board sees what this does to a guard." Greg walked out of the room and Jensen escorted Jackie to her cell. "Jensen.." "That's officer Jensen, Miles. You mean nothing during your sentence. As far as I know, you assaulted another officer." Jackie made it too her cell as a prisoner said "Well, well, a screw.." "You know the drill, Miles. Behave." Jensen walked away as Jackie said "Yeah, bye.." the prisoners laughing at Jackie who entered her cell and sat on the bed. Jackie held her head in her hands as her world fell apart around her. "Hey boss, ya hear?" "hear what?" "They stuck Miles in with us." "I thought they would send her somewhere else?" "Guess not. She did work at Wentworth and Barnhurst. She knows the drill." hours later the showers were ready and Jackie went for one. After she was dressed, the prisoners she was with held her back. "Giving you your welcome to the other side of Underline.." another prisoner came in with a broom and hit Jackie so hard she fell on the floor. "Not as tough when you're not behind the uniform..are ya, Miles.." Jackie looked up and said "Just please don't.. assault me *that* way.. I found the last person you know.." the prisoner knelt down and said "Not for you.." Jackie was coughing and she coughed up blood as she was hit in the face. "Hey, best you scatter.." said a prisoner holding the broom. "This one is on me.. go!" "You know what happens if you lag.." "If I do it doesn't matter. Just remember Miles is in here for 6 months, and if she does get reinstated she'll get revenge. Now go.." the prisoners left as the prisoner hit Jackie one more time. Ferguson was roaming the halls and heard a scream and rushed into the bathroom and saw everything. "What the hell is going on?" Ferguson looked at the prisoner and said "Drop the broom, Latham." "She's a prisoner now. She deserved this.. Don't report it.." "I said drop the broom." Latham dropped the broom and Ferguson got her cuffs out and handcuffed Latham to the sink and said "I'm reporting this.." Ferguson reached for her radio and said "This is sierra 8 to medical I have a code black, requesting your assistance in the showers, a prisoner has just been assaulted and I have one handcuffed to the sink." "Copy that sierra 8 we're on our way." Ferguson put her radio back and rolled Jackie to her side. "What have you done?" said Ferguson. The siren blared for code black and Wilson rushed in with medical. "How's Jackie?" "She's still unconscious but she's breathing, thank god, they beat her with a broom.." "Who's they?" Ferguson pointed to Latham. Wilson looked at Latham as Wilson said "Slot her." Jensen and Simmons took Latham away. Moments later Ferguson was talking with Wilson and said "How is she doing?" "In medical. Ambulance is on the way." Greg rushed to the governor's office and said "How come I wasn't informed?" Wilson looked at Greg and said "You know the rules.." "Fuck the rules.. Surely it doesn't say I can't see my wife before she goes to hospital." as the phone rang Wilson answered it, 10 minutes later he hungup. "Well?" "That was Hampton. The investigation into the common assault charge was upheld but it shouldn't ruin Jackie's plans to return to work in 6 months. They are willing to over look the conviction because she's a good officer." "You think she'd want to return to work after being attacked?" "She was shot at and injured. She was bound to be angry at something." Ferguson nodded and said "Did he say why?" "Someone who trusts her enough to work with her again. Hampton said an officer from Wentworth had good things to say. Owed her a lot, they said." Greg said "I want to go with her to the hospital." "Greg you know you can't. Adena. I need an officer out there with her." Greg said "You'll call with news, please Adena." "Of course Greg." Simmons then knocked on the door as Ferguson left the room and said "Governor, Latham admitted to everything. She gave names on who attacked Jackie." Wilson nodded and said "The same rabble as last time?" Simmons nodded. "Move Latham to protection after her stint in the slot." "Get me Johnson." Simmons nodded and rushed out. At the hospital, Ferguson was standing with another guard watching over Jackie. "Is it good news doctor?" "She's regained consciousness, which is a good thing. but the bruising is a little worrying.. What was she struck by?" "A broom." "Jesus Christ.." "Scans came back inconclusive.." "Can I ask, knowing the prisoners... was there any sign of internal injuries?" "Sexual assault injuries? No, none. She was lucky in a way." "How do you mean?" "You've worked in a prison long enough to know, when a prisoner is assaulted, its normally for a reason. Did Jackie give anyone a reason?" "She's an officer, well not at the moment. She was charged with common assault and contempt of court.. No shortage in a place like that. I think she knew one day her sarcastic comments would land her here." "Well, thats a way to see it. But when she does return to duties, tell her to keep the sarcastic remarks to herself." the doctor then said "She'll be released back into corrective custody in the morning." the doctor walked away as Ferguson walked back into the room. Jackie was awake. "What happened?" "You were assaulted. Latham and and her gang." "Did they?" "No." Jackie sighed with relief. "Thank god.." Ferguson then said "I shouldn't be saying this, but Hampton called Wilson. He said the board convened." "There goes my job.." "No. You'll have one. Someone put in a good word for you. Hampton and the board agreed." Jackie looked at Ferguson and said "Was it you?" "Of course it was. But the contact came from Wentworth." Jackie put her head back and said "You know, you could've let them get to me more." Ferguson looked at Jackie and said "I couldn't of. We see nasty stuff as prison officers. assaults are of course common, but you don't forget walking in on rounds seeing someone assaulted. One time I saw it and didn't report it.. I've regretted that day forever." "You never told me this.. I've done the same thing.. Almost broke down because of it.." Ferguson then said "You should put yourself in protection." Jackie looked at Ferguson and said "I can't." "What are you trying to prove?" "That an officer isn't above the law.." Ferguson stood up and said "Oh I believe that, but you're going about this the wrong way.." "No..." "But I do believe when you return to work you'll turn a blind eye." Ferguson looked and said "You know as well as I do, this job will kill us eventually. Never once has it made me open my eyes. Jackie you're dumber then you think. You put yourself into this position when you refused to give evidence, you did that charge." "And you goaded me.. I can always change my statement.." "But you won't. 6 months is a nothing sentence. But now you'll have to sleep with one eye open." "You know the procedure, how long will I be in medical for?" "About 3 days observation." "Well, alright." Ferguson lowered her head and said "This may happen again. You do know that.." "If it does, I'll handle it." "Next time you won't be so lucky."

Season 8 ep 25
Wilson was standing in his office talking with Jensen. "I see how it effects everyone now.. Jackie's sentence ends tomorrow, she's had a rough trot.." "Yes..very rough. But she brought it on herself when she refused to be placed into protection. I'm not for protection of officers when they are brought in, but Jackie could've made it easier on herself. Greg's world has fallen apart these past 6 months. It was a hard line Ferguson took." "Jensen, I'm not going to let another officer be assaulted and get away with it. Ferguson had every right to press charges, and Jackie had the right to be charged. Little did I know the judge would give her 6 months." "Well. Its education for all of us then." Wilson nodded as he said "Send Greg up to me please." Jensen nodded and said "Of course Governor." the door closed as Wilson stood up and looked out the window and saw officers on duty. A knock on the door. "You called for me governor?" "Yes, come in Greg." Greg closed the door and sat down. "What's the matter governor?" "Jackie's release has come through. She's being released tomorrow." "At least that's something." "Reckon it'll be good to get home?" "For her? Yeah maybe. It's been a rough couple of months. Having her home, safe is my prerogative." Wilson nodded and said "I"m sorry we had to place you elsewhere during these 6 months. But you know it was policy." "Policy or not, its difficult to protect my wife in prison, when I couldn't even be near her." Wilson then nodded and said "It's also policy, that you have to leave the premises when she is released. You can wait outside the gates, take her home, let her have a good night sleep at least.." "How long do I have to be off the premises for?" "The next 24 hours." "Fair enough. I'll get her tomorrow when she's released. I'll go home and do something constructive. Pace around maybe." Wilson chuckled as Greg left the room. Greg was in the staffroom where Adena was eating lunch. "Going somewhere Greg?" "Been ordered off the premises." "The release?" he nodded and said "Stupid policy.. way outdated. It's not like she's going to do it again." "The policy is in place. The board but that policy in place for anyone who has someone behind bars and works for the department and its family that they have to leave the premises.." "Who put that to the board, and made that policy?" Adena said "I did. Over 20 years ago. I was apart of the committee that put some rules into place. It was also that policy that any relative who does have someone in the same prison, has too leave 24 hours before said prisoner is released." "I haven't spoken to my wife in 6 months all because of your stupid board policy." "You get angry now, and you wont get to see her for 6 months. Watch it Greg. Policies are in place for a reason. Jackie knew her actions had consequences. Hampton was also apart of that board committee. If you have a problem, take it up with him." Greg nodded and said "Yeah, fine.." he took off his belt and placed it in his locker. "Look, Adena. You did what you had to, but next time.." "There won't be a next time. If Jackie is smart enough, she wont be goaded into attacking someone. Now hurry up and go home. Your wife is being released tomorrow." Greg smiled and said "See you later." Greg walked out of the room, as Adena went back on duty. 24 hours later, Wilson walked through the corridors and met up with Diane and said "Diane, send Jackie to my office." Diane nodded as Julia walked up behind him and said "Can I ask something?" "What?" "Why was Greg sent home for 24 hours yesterday?" "Policy." Julia grabbed Wilson by the shoulder and put him into another room. "Policy? Then how come we weren't sent home? If its policy.." "It's policy. end of story. Jackie didn't have you down as contacts, so I couldn't send you home." "She what?" "She didn't have you down as family, and because of that I didn't have to send you home." "But this entire prison knows we are related, the board probably knows that to." Wilson rubbed his head and said "The board put the policy into place. She's married to Greg and Greg had to leave. He'll pick her up later." "Yeah right.." Wilson left the room and went to his office where Jensen was standing with Jackie who was in a change of clothes, from green to civilian clothes. "Today's the day." Jackie nodded and said "Yes, it is.." "The other side of the bars, isn't pleasant." Jackie nodded and said "Of course." "But I do have some good news. You'll be able to come back at the start of next week. Pending a physical." "Of course.." "You were attacked, and I need to know your mental state. It gets pretty nasty here." "Mentally all I need is a good long rest." "Being assaulted your first night in isn't something to laugh at Jackie.." "You know it was Adena who stopped the assault. She cuffed one of the girls to the sink." "How much of that night do you remember?" "Not much.. Just getting hit in the face, and waking up in hospital its about it." "The reason.. Is because the night you were sent in, you suffered a seizure in the night, its why you don't remember much." Wilson opened the draw and put the medical report on the desk. "This is the full report." "I guess thats why you're sending me for the physical." "No.. but the diagnosis made it official and it will have to be put on your records. Jackie the board and the medical staff know that you should've taken medication for your seizures when you had the car accident. We never received that medical report, but this one has to be kept on file." Jackie sighed and said "I hadn't had one in almost 3 years. I stopped taking them for that reason." "You don't ask someone who's had a heart attack to stop taking their meds do you? Jackie no one will think any different of you. But you do need to tone down the sarcastic remarks or you may get hurt again.." "What use am I then? One hit to the head and this epileptic guard will go out all over the floor." "Stop that Jackie. I won't have you talk about your condition like that." "If I can't joke about it, whats to laugh about. I spent 6 months behind bars, I'd like to get back to being the one putting them in." "You'll here it from everyone here. When you do come back, you will be demoted from senior officer back to officer. Start from the beginning and earn everyone's trust again, even mine. You probably also know that Jensen will be deputy for the time being and Adena just may get lucky next time." "I owe her." "You owe everyone." Wilson gave the file to Jensen and said "Take that to medical, see it gets entered into the computer." "Yes Governor." Jensen left as Simmons entered the room. "I see, still dangerous am I?" "Until you are out of those gates and returning in uniform, yes, you are still dangerous." Wilson then reached for his phone and answered it "Yes? Oh thank you. No its alright." Wilson hung up and said "Greg's outside the gates waiting for you. He can't enter the prison the day of release." "Why?" "Policy." "Of course." Wilson stood up and said "Freedom, awaits." Simmons opened the door and Jackie followed out the door. Jackie was taken through admissions and through to the exit. Jackie was walking in the carpark and saw Greg waiting for her. "Greg, it's so good to see you." Greg smiled and said "Same to you.." Greg helped Jackie into the car and home. "You know how humiliating that was.." said Greg. "For 6 months I couldn't work on the same floor as you, couldn't even come close to being near you.. I had to be radioed every time you were moved.. I've never felt so low.." "Then I guess you do know.." "About the fits? I knew for years you should've been taking them. It was a matter of time.." "Jackie, you helped protect Adena, why?" "Because she saved my life, that's why." "That policy of not being allowed on the grounds 24 hours before being released, how come that didn't include your sisters?" Jackie lowered her head and said "They were strangers for 26 years. They weren't family.." "Are you that dumb? The department know and so does the entire prison that you and Julia and Diane are sisters. I had to leave the prison because I'm your husband. You consider me family, but not them?" "That was long before I joined corrections. After Ryan, I didn't know if I could do that again.." Greg lowered his head and said "Yeah, fine.." Greg walked away saying "I guess it'll be change sleeping in your own bed and going to sleep will be a lot easier.." Jackie smiled and walked away. The following week Jackie was in Wilson's office and Wilson gave Jackie her badge and belt back. "You're under probation until further notice. You radio call is still 6, and I don't want any trouble." Jackie nodded as she clipped her belt on as she said "How did my medical go?" "Good, passed with flying colours. And if you get called to medical, go. It'll be for your tablets." Jackie nodded and was about to walk away when she bumped into Adena. "Welcome back to Underline.." said Ferguson. "Thank you. Fergo.." Ferguson looked at Wilson and said "Do we need to discuss something?" "Yes.. make sure Jackie isn't goaded into something else.. If she does, she'll be cooked in corrections.. next time it wont be 6 months it'll be 20 years. And she'll die if that happens." "Jackie wouldn't do it again.. Beside, she;ll be someone who goes out in an explosion of dreams. She'll see to that.. Don't worry about her. She'll be ok.." Wilson nodded and said "There's a lot to like about you Ferguson. A lot indeed." Ferguson turned around and said "Sir.. if I can say this.. I've had it both sides for years.. I loved this one woman for years, we worked together, and she walked out on me, saying I was putting too much time into my job. One night I was on duty and she was brought in for a crime. Petty crime. A day later she committed suicide in her cell, I found her.. She was my lifeline, my everything. It's why I'm so hard line now.. I lost her because of my job.. I don't think I could do that again.." Wilson nodded and said "I understand. Adena, it that why you left Queensland?" "Yeah.. It was difficult for me, 30 years I spent there, one officer was all it took. I never expected myself to fall over that line. I did, and it hurt." Wilson nodded and he hugged Adena and said "I like you. As a friend. But if you need a stiff drink, call round." Adena smiled and said "Thank you, Governor." Adena left the room and Jackie was on duty again. Jensen was talking with Simmons and Julia was staying away.

Season 9 ep 1
As Julia was standing on guard she was standing with Wilson who said "Jackie, won't be in today." "Yeah why?" "I dunno. She was coy, said something about being invited to talk at some school." "Reckon? I don't think there will be much talking.. If she got invited somewhere, I think she's gone to have a chat." "With?" "Some person she used to work with at the school she taught at.." "I thought that school closed down?" "It did. The principal got work in some place called Sebour just 140k out from here." "I never heard of it?" "All you need to know is it has 3 hospitals for a population of 70,000." "Who lives there?" "No idea, but its a 5 hour drive. Jackie said she'd be here tomorrow." as Officer Jensen walked over with Officer Simmons and said "Hopefully this weather stays good. I wanna get outta here sometime today.." "Of course you do." said Wilson. "We're an officer down today, and I'm finishing up that shift for them. You can go to reception and be there for a while. Officer Simmons." Simmons nodded as he walked off. "Jensen keep vigilant today." he nodded as he walked away. Wilson left for his office and other officers patrolled. As Jackie got to the Sebour High School carpark, she parked and got out of the car. As Jackie locked the car she was met by David Kilmer. "Jackie.." Jackie looked up and said "David Kilmer... It's been a while.." "It certainly has." "I have a lot to say.." "I know you do. Follow me, we'll talk in my office." as David lead Jackie to his office, he closed the door and said "I hear you've made a name for yourself now." he said as he was sitting down. Jackie sat down as well and said "Prison Officer at Underline Prison. Wouldn't call that making a name, more like keeping out of trouble." David rubbed his beard and said "I assume that's not why you are here." "You assume correctly." "Listen, Jackie.. That business with your son, it just happened, it was tragic for sure, but if you're angry at me, then you're angry at the wrong person.." "So you're calling him business? He was just business to you? Let me remind you, Kilmer.. You had a duty of care to all those students then and every single one of these students now." "Don't you dare tell me about duty of care. I did my job." "No, that's the thing, you didn't. The first incident you just stood back and watched a 13 year old year 7 student get bullied so badly he jumped off the fucking school roof. I wasn't around for that one, but I heard about it. You breached every right to care for students, when students were bringing knives to school to protect themselves." "That wasn't my problem." "That was your problem. You stopped caring, you stopped caring about safety." "Then I can say, it was safe after you left." "You never had empathy for those kids.. All you could do was stand up the top of the school. I saw you, hiding behind one of the poles like a coward, I held my dying son in my arms. My son who was 15 years old and had his ENTIRE LIFE ahead of him. He would've been in his mid-30s now. Living his dream of being an actor, probably have a family of his own. I should've been welcoming his babies into the world, not spending the rest of my life grieving for my son." "You can spend the rest of your life grieving for him, but I wont have that floating around in my office." Jackie stood up and said "You've always been a piece of shit. Everything you have done for us, was put us in danger, we were frightened to come to work, we feared for our lives every day. And you never got away with it because you were a member of BTEC. The education centre with the meaning 'Good Education,Better Future', there wasn't a better future for my son, all because you refused to believe that there was a problem. Weapons and drugs were a problem, you sat up in your old office like this treating staff like shit, while you let them get away with it. From what I understand, Ricky's father was apart of the gang. Ricky was under orders to murder my boy.." "Its not uncommon for friends to be used as an example." getting angry Jackie retorted with "You wanna know how Ricky died?" "How?" "He was lynched by inmates. He was stabbed in the throat and left to die.." "The reports said it was murder." "Prison files called it suicide. The prisoners didn't take to kindly to a kid killer who was a kid himself." "You yelled it out didn't you?" "Yeah, told me he was sorry, and I said it doesn't bring back my son. The one you killed." "Interesting point." "Ah.. Not done yet. After I left I reported my concerns to the police and the State Education Board. So did every other teacher who quit in the space of a year. You're going down for a lot of things. Misconduct. Aiding and Abetting assault, Abetting a suicide, sexual misconduct, corruption, failure to provide adequate safety. That could get you 25 years and knowing how prisoners are.. You wouldn't survive your sentence." "Would you put money on that?" "No. You spend long enough in a prison, you know how it goes." Jackie rubbed her face as Kilmer stood up and said "You've always been a firebrand, emotional.." "That's the thing. To be emotional isn't a problem. Because I spend everyday remembering my beautiful son, Ryan. I visit his epitaph every week with my husband, and sit there and talk. I'm not afraid anymore. I remain afraid of a lot of things, but being emotional? No.. Because I can't be that robotic person anymore. I have lost a lot of good friends while working as a guard, watched some of them die. But you never got it. That prison world, is my family now. And it means more to me now then any teaching career." "Education left you behind.." Jackie smiling said "But that world inside, taught me more then any meeting could." as sirens were wailing in the background Jackie walked over to the door and said "At least I am not bitter. I will never forgive, but I know where I stand." Jackie opened the door and walked away, with David smashing his hands on the desk. Jackie smiled as she left the school with her head held high. A few hours later Jackie was at the prison. "Didn't expect to see you here today Jackie.. How'd it go?" said Simmons. "Yeah, good." "Isn't a five hour drive?" "Took a short way got there in two." Diane as she was coming back from lunch said "Hey, welcome back you. Staff meeting in 5, close reception." Jackie nodded and walked off to the staffroom as Simmons locked the door. As the staff meeting was taking place the TV was playing in the background when attention turned to the TV report "We have breaking news coming from Sebour High School. There has been a police standoff between police and school principal David Kilmer. Mr Kilmer opened fire on police after tip off came from a member of the public regarding Kilmer's days as a member for BTEC, in which Mr Kilmer was to stand trial for. During this standoff Mr Kilmer fired at students and teachers, before being shot and killed by police. An investigation has been launched. Hector Reporter, reporting live." the TV was turned off as Jensen said "Holy shit.." Jackie said "All these years, he was never short of an opinion.. Looks like this is a win for all the old staff back in Brissy." Greg looked at Jackie and said "We all went to the board, and now he wont answer for anything, but not I know he's going to hell. that's where he can stay."

Season 9 ep 2
As Jackie was watching the report on the news, the entire story came out. "Unfortunately, the heads of the BTEC have come to a close. While regrettable, the events that happened at many of those schools could have been avoided. David Kilmer may not answer for his crimes, but we will. Everything that he was charged with, we will get to. The assault charges, the murder charges the misconduct and corruption charges every single charge we will plead guilty on..The BTEC will shutdown operations effective immediately. And we offer our sincere apologies to those families who were hurt. Reading file after file, was heartbreaking, a mother lost her child, and from stories I have heard now patrols a prison as a prison guard. Friends lost friends. We failed in our mandate to protect the children who are placed into our care. We share equal blame. Its our fault. No parent deserves that phone call, no friend deserves to watch that. We are guilty and we will serve time for our actions, we all failed to act, the board included, not just Kilmer." as Greg walked in he grabbed the remote and turned off the TV. Jackie turned around and said "Justice.." "Them taking the blame, shutting down a section of the Education Board. That's justice to you?" "Them facing justice. The sweet smell." Greg grabbed his keys and said kissed Jackie and said "Gotta get going. See you at work." "Can you tell Wilson I'll be late. I gotta do something first." "Yeah sure.." Greg walked out the door and Jackie walked over to the kitchen draw and grabbed out the rose pruners and foil and went into the back yard. Jackie wrapped the flowers in foil and took them inside. Jackie got the car keys and left the house, she drove out to the cemetery, and walked to her sons epitaph. Jackie said "Hey son.. It's mum." Jackie knelt down and placed the flowers in the pot that was next to the epitaph. "I wonder if you know. I wonder if you know that the entire BTEC has shut down.." Jackie looked up and said "For years I wanted your soul to rest. And thats what it can do now, my boy. my sweet boy. I love you Ryan." Jackie stood up as she smiled at her sons epitaph and walked away as she found Phil's not far away, Jackie said "It's still quiet without you mate. We all miss you. Not a day goes by where I don't think about you saving me. I want you to know, I'm married now. Old colleague I used to teach with. Greg Smith, you'd like him.." as Jackie talked for 5 more minutes, she looked up to see the clouds getting grey. "This bloody weather.." Jackie then said "Gotta run Phil. Prison to help run." Jackie got to the car as it was starting to rain. As Jackie pulled into the carpark, she was met by Julia who was also turning up to work. "Hey, morning." "Morning." "heard the news?" "Yeah, BTEC are closing down and everyone is being charged." "That's a fucking massive statement. How much noise did those old teachers give?" "The public couldn't ignore this. It was a major decision. Yeah we won't get any of them though. The BTEC section of the Education Department was male. All boys club.." "Gutless wonder.." "You got the one thing you wanted all these years though. Some justice. What did you do after that?" "Went to the cemetery.. Paid a visit to Ryan, and Phil." "Have a chat?" "Of course. All it is. Is something that I think we all do and we don't notice it that much. Means we're human." "Indeed. I do that do.. Phil was a firebrand, always someone we could turn to. It's changed you know.." "Ever since Vera got killed, its been a different ball game ever since." Jackie nodded as the two got to the staff room and Wilson was reading a report. As they sat down to join him the radio went off. "Sierra 15 to all units we have a code black in the education corridor. I repeat a code black. no alarm please" they all got up and rushed over to the corridor. "What the fuck.." said Wilson. "What happened?" "We were patrolling, and suddenly she fell out of the roof venting." "Was she trying to escape?" said Diane. "She was up in the roof venting on the phone. Lost her footing and fell back to earth with us. CCTV shows not much other than her standing on a table." "Yeah right.. Toss her cell. And clear it out." said Wilson. as the medical officer put the body on the gurney he said "cause of death is at this point is a broken neck." "The footage showed her landing on her head. Officers finding her seconds later." "Go ahead. Do the cell toss." "Yes Governor.." as the officers left Wilson said "What a fucking waste." as prisoners were called to units for a lockdown, Jackie and Greg were doing the block together. "Hey Officer Miles, where's Goody?" "Fell out of venting, snapped her neck." "She's okay yeah?" Jackie replying sarcastically, "Unless you call dead, okay.. Then sure." "Did you say roof venting? What the hell was she doing?" Jackie was in Goody's cell and was tossing it as she came across a huge stash of money and drugs. "Greg.." "Yeah, what?" Jackie came outside with the roll of cash and said "There's 10 grand here at least." "Fuck." said one of the prisoners. Jackie reached for her radio and said "Sierra 6 calling sierra 1, we found something in Goody's cell." "On my way. thank you sierra 6." as Greg bagged the cash, he also bagged the drugs and smokes. Wilson came down with other officers who had finished searches. "Any luck elsewhere?" "Nah." "It's fucking Christmas here." said Jackie. Greg held up the bag and Wilson said "that's about 10k in cash yeah?" "Yeah." "Wont be drug money in here. Give it to the police." "Yes Governor."

PU Season 9 ep 3
As Adena was getting ready for work she heard arguing coming from next door. Adena walked over to her window and didn't see anything, but she grabbed her pepper spray and put it into her pocket. When she heard shouting again, she decided to investigate. Adena went outside and went over to next door, where she knocked on the door, and entered just as a weapon fired. Adena rushed into the room and said "What have you done!" The woman looked at Adena and said "It's over.." Adena knelt down and felt for a pulse. "He's dead.. You killed him.." Adena looked up and said "Why?" "This neighbourhood should know. All we did was argue. He hurt me and her on more then one occasion.. and so did I." Adena stood back up as her neighbour had the weapon pointed at her daughter's head as her daughter was stunned. "So far you're on 20 years for murder.Just put the gun down." at Underline Wilson was sitting as his desk when Jensen said "Has Adena signed in for work yet?" "No she's late.. 30 minutes late.. Not like her.." "Something must be up..", back at the house, Diane who was heading into work pulled up in the driveway of Adena's house and saw the screen door wasn't shut. Diane walked into the house and said "Anyone home?" before more noises came from next door. Diane walked over to next door and squatted to avoid being spotted. There she could see what was happening. "Come on, Mary put the gun down." Adena looked over to the curtain and saw Diane and nodded her head and said "The police could be here any moment. Put the weapon down." Diane saw Adena's nod and moved to the front lawn before getting her phone out of her pocket and calling the police and work. Wilson rubbed his head as the phone rang "Governor Wilson.." "Wilson.. it's me Diane. I know this is going to sound like the strangest thing on earth, but Adena's being held hostage in her neighbours house. She has a gun, and her neighbour has a kid as a hostage." "Jesus Christ.. Have you called the police?" "Yes they're on their way. By what I could see, it looks like it was a domestic dispute. The neighbour had enough and shot her husband.." "I just hope Adena knows what she is doing.. Keep me updated yeah.." "Of course Governor.." Wilson hung up the phone and looked at Jensen. "You won't believe this.. Adena's late because she's talking down her neighbour.." "What about the neighbour?" "domestic dispute." "Shit.." Wilson then said "The women will go mental when they find out this woman has threatened to kill her daughter.." "Do you want me to cut the TV? and newspaper?" "Whats the point? They'll find out anyway.." Wilson rubbed his forehead and said "This is something I could've done without.. We are two officers down, and no one is available to pull off double shifts.." "I can take Adena's.. Knowing these types of situations, she could be there for hours.." "Thanks.." as sirens were blaring in the background, Adena said "You have to stop this. not for your sake but for your daughters as well." "What do you know about raising children, Ms Ferguson? Do you have any?" "I have nieces and nephews I love very much, but you are mistaken if you think you'll get off scot free. Prison isn't a nice place to be if they know what you are in for.. They'll make your life a living hell." "Would be the same hell I lived for years with my daughter and husband. He beat her and me. I was taking revenge.." "Revenge in some places earns you a life sentence." "It'll be worth it.." outside Diane was standing with Lomax and said "You called it in?" "Yeah I did. I was offering a ride for my colleague today.. I heard noises and went over. Called straightaway." "Glad you did.. Mind staying?" "Not at all." "I hope she knows what she is doing. Situations like these are highly volatile." "She's a trained prison officer with over 30 years experience.. She knows what she is doing.." "Well just hope that this nutcase doesn't end up in your prison.." "Don't bet on it.." Lomax looked at the house and held his baited breath. Adena said "I've lived next to you for 4 years, what happened in that time?" "a few breakdowns. nothing much.." "Something snapped inside.." "It did alright.. This prick on the floor.. Mary this, Mary that.." Adena looked up and said "Mary, if there isn't a news team out there now, this will be broadcast everywhere, including every prison in the country..." and Adena wasn't wrong, a report was coming out live on TV. And at Underline, Wilson was watching it. "Our latest on the hostage siege is that a woman who is a trained corrections officer went to go investigate a noise at a neighbours house and was taken hostage, police at the scene this woman is trying to talk down the neighbour who is yet to be identified. Other neighbours have said it was only a matter of time before something like this would happen as they say domestic squabbles were a common occurrence. Neighbours heard a single gun shot, but mistook the noise for a backfiring tire. The call was made to police who arrived on the scene with hostage negotiators. The siege enters its 4th hour.." Wilson turned off the TV and said "This is scary stuff." As Adena was sitting in a chair as she said "You need to think about what you have done to yourself. You admitted that you struck your child, you attacked her as well." "Her own good." Adena said "The women inside won't see it that way.. They'll see you as a piece of trash. I know the system and the only place you'd be safe in is protection, by yourself for your entire sentence. That's if the guards don't get to you first.." "What are you talking about?" "A lot of them don't take kindly to those who have abused children. Many guards are parents themselves. If you have abused your child a detailed medical report will be sent to the governor of the prison you go to." Mary swallowed as she said "Maybe being bashed won't be so bad.." Adena stood up and said "They won't just bash you.. They'll kill you.". Outside Lomax said "Mail, addressed to Mary King.. husband is Harry King.. Known to us.." another officer ran over to him and said "Was known to us sir.. He's the body on the floor.." "Anyone else in there?" "Yeah, a kid, looks about 6.." Diane looked up and said "Any idea on what they are talking about?" "Yeah.. Ferguson's telling the mother about what they do to abusers and she's being as calm as possible.." "They both down as that?" Lomax looked and said "We got called to something similar, months ago." "Was it a domestic dispute?" "We had reason to believe the child wasn't hurt.." "Great job.." said Diane would rolled her eyes. back inside Ferguson said "You need to understand. I am trying to help. Put the gun down." as the child in Mary's grip bit her on the arm, the mother sent the kid flying to the china cabinet with a push. Ferguson looking on in horror as the kid lay on the floor. Ferguson walked over to the kid and helped her up, the kid holding Ferguson's legs. "You're an animal.." Ferguson looked at the kid and said "You need to leave. go outside.." "no.." "Please.." the kid nodded another no as Mary pointed the weapon at the kid. Ferguson looked at her and said "don't you dare.. children do not survive these types of wounds. The ones that do survive need to be cared for, for the rest of their life. Do not do this." "Too late." as the sound of two gunshots fired from Mary's weapon, one hitting the kid in the leg and the other hitting Adena in the side. Adena fell to the ground as Lomax signaled cops not to go in. Adena was lying on the floor as Mary came over to her and pointed the gun in her face, Adena was also reaching for her back pocket. "There's one thing you seem to have forgotten, Mary.. I'm a survivor." Mary looking very confused was then sprayed in the face by Adena, who gingerly got back up and held Mary in a chicken wing, as Adena also helped the little girl up. "You misjudge me.. You will be going away for a long time.." Adena walked over to the front door as Lomax was standing on the grass, the door then opened and Mary was pushed out into the arms of waiting officers, Ferguson then carried the little girl to an officer who said "What happened?" "She fired twice, hit me and hit the kid. She also threw the girl into a chin cabinet." the paramedic took the kid away as Diane said "Adena.. are you alright?" "Nothing like a 26 hour siege to brighten the mood." Ferguson laughed before she collapsed into the arms of a paramedic. Diane then said "What's going on?" the paramedic then said "Probably exhaustion." Diane lifted up Ferguson's jumper and saw the vest on underneath. "Tickle me pink.. she's wearing a stab vest." the paramedic then took off the vest and said "Graze wounds.. these will need attending to, may keep her in overnight for observation, for shock and a little rest." Adena was taken away as Diane made the call to the prison. "The siege is over.. Mother is in custody. Daughter is being sent to hospital.." "And Adena?" "Gone for obs. graze wound from getting shot at. She did good." "Alright then.. talk to you later.." Wilson hung up the phone. As he turned on the TV the story broke "A 26 hour siege here in Rodeo has ended in bloodshed after a corrections officer entered a neighbours house to check up on the family after arguing could be heard. In a turn of events the officer found the husband was dead on the floor and the woman holding her daughter hostage. The siege ended with the officer in shock and the daughter with a gun shot wound to the leg. Police took the woman, Mary King into custody and will undergo treatment before her sentencing."

Season 9 ep 4
24 hours after the siege had ended Jensen was standing in the governor's office with Wilson and said "The women are rowdy, we can't calm them down.." Wilson looked up and said "I know. This King business has unsettled them. They also know who the officer was who tried to talk her down as well." "Is there any news from the hospital?" "I got the medical reports." "Reports?" "Yeah.. The kid's gunshot wound was serious. She's critical. Fergo's got a graze wound. No other news came through. Don't expect it to" "Expect her to be off for a week or so.." said Jensen. The phone then rang. "Governor Wilson speaking.. she's what? Yeah alright send her up." Wilson hung up the phone and said "That was reception.. Ferguson just signed in for work." "That does not surprise me. Her arm could be hanging off and she'd be at work.." "I've read a lot of Ferguson's medical reports from Queensland. Somehow I don't know how someone can survive the injuries she's had." "What injuries are those?" "If she was a medical study, she'd win first prize. The most serious injury in her report is being lynched by prisoners. The thing that saved her was her neck muscles. Thick set neck.." "Gee.. I remember a guard I worked with who got lynched never worked again. His neck muscles weren't as thick as Adena's." then a knock at the door. The door opened and Ferguson entered the room. "Adena, what are you doing here. You should be resting. According to reception you signed out AMA." "Yes..No rest for an officer like me.." Ferguson handed over a file and said "I had to come in. I had to give the police a statement. And some news Mary King. She has been declared sane and is being transferred here. Fairbanks wouldn't take her and Highmore haven't got the security measures for someone like King in their isolation wing." Wilson sat down and said "You have got to be kidding me." Adena shook her head and said "The file shows the charges.." Wilson opened the file and read it. Wilson slammed his hand on the desk and said "Fuck this job sometimes." Jensen looked at the file as well and stammered back to the wall. "2 counts of murder, and attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon." said Adena who lowered her head and also said "The little girl died of her injuries early this morning. That report says that her injuries were consistent with falling out a 2nd story window." "Meaning what?" said Jensen. "They hurt her.." said Wilson. "Not only is she a murderer but an abuser as well. And thanks to the media coverage, they know who this woman is.." Wilson turned the computer screen around and said "The board made themselves clear on this. She wont be placed into protection. King hasn't requested it." "She's not even here yet.." Adena rubbed her eyes as Wilson said "Have you slept in the last 48 hours?" "About 2 hours. I sat there last night thinking about what I could've done better. She pushed her child into a china cabinet, she was deranged." "Adena.. What's done is done. You went through something that no one should have to go through. You should go home and rest." "No, Governor with all due respect I need to be working." "Alright. But I need your radio turned off." Adena nodded and took her radio off and placed it on the governor's desk and walked out of the room. Diane then knocked on the door and said "Governor, the brawlers arrived." Wilson nodded and said "Take her to admissions. Then send her up here." Wilson slapped his hand on the desk as Diane nodded and left. Diane met up with Jackie outside in the brawler bay. The officers opened the doors to the brawler and took out King. Jackie then said "Welcome to Underline." "Oh shut up Jackie.." said Diane. Jackie gave a feral look as King was moved inside and into admissions. "The atmosphere is different." said King. "Shut up King.." said Simmons. "Rude.." said King in return. "Let me tell you something, King.. Over 300 prisoners are in this prison. And over a dozen prisons refused to take you. You are nothing in here. Refusing to go into protection and making sure you will make life hard for yourself.." Simmons finished as he got Jackie to come into the room. "Take her away. The governor wants to see her." Jackie nodded as King said to Jackie "You're the screw who got 6 months?" "I know these walls, from both sides." "Clearly.." "Oh shut up.." "I'm still in cuffs, are you going to remove them?" "Not my decision." as they made it to the governor's office, Jensen was standing beside the governor. Jackie led the prisoner in and closed the door. "I won't keep you long, but I just want you to know the officer you shot, works in this prison. And every officer and prison will be out for blood and I can promise you there will be hell to pay." "Governor, what unit do you want her placed in?" "Place her in B block. 3 other people are in that unit." "Should be cozy.." "This is a big joke to you isn't it King? You're scum." King scoffed as Jensen said "Well you should enjoy being here. It will teach you a thing or two." Wilson then said "I don't think any of these woman would put you out if you were on fire. get her out of here." in the staffroom Adena was asleep on the staff lounge as Jensen walked in with Simmons and said "King's taking this as a joke. She doesn't believe that this place can straighten her out." "I believe it can. Jackie said she had a run in with her already." "This isn't going to be easy. On any of us." Simmons tapped Jensen on the shoulder and whispered. "I think we should leave." "No point in leaving, I was just dozing." "You shouldn't even be here Adena. You should be at home." "Everyone's said that today, but I'm more use where I am needed. What that King woman did disgusted all of us." "Got that right." then a radio went off. "Sierra 1 to sierra 2, can you please come to my office, and bring Officer Ferguson with you please." "on our way sierra 1." Jensen looked and said "Best hop to it.." as the guards made it to the governor's office. Greg was told to leave and he did. Jackie, Diane and Julia were also there with Jensen and Simmons. Adena was standing in the corner. "All I am saying is, we should be understanding." said Jackie, "Understanding? Jackie do you even know what she is in for? 2 counts of murder, attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and child abuse. No understanding needed. That woman is a monster." "There is still some good in her at least?" Adena scoffed and said "And where has this come from? Jackie, you've been back at work for about 4 weeks, after being in here for assault, did this place soften you? Do you remember what they did? They bashed you twice. And now its on your medical reports you suffer from seizures. It doesn't get more understanding then that.." "I was an officer, they got it out of their system." "Jackie, sometimes you are dumber then you look." "Oh excuse me. I didn't realise, from the resident taking up a tab at the local hospital." Adena walked over to Jackie and said "You have no idea what went on in that house. Jackie, you were probably to busy thinking about that dead son of yours." "Makes no difference. The daughters dead isn't she?" "That's not the point. Had you have been there, she explained horrible things, admitted to a lot of things. She had a gun pointed at me, I was talking her down, until something got to her. She fired that weapon twice. I sprayed her with pepper spray and got her down to the ground, her daughter was shot in the leg blood was everywhere." Adena looked down as Jackie said "Maybe she wasn't aiming to kill her daughter, maybe it was you. After all nosy neighbours are the ones who normally get shot at first." Adena then turned around in anger and punched Jackie in the stomach, taking the wind out of her. Jackie catching her breath said "You're gonna let that happen?" "Quite frankly yes. I have had enough of your attitude Jackie. You are still an officer, remember that. You were reinstated because you were a good officer, and quite frankly today I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. Mary King is nothing but trouble, a murderer, you see it differently because you were behind bars for 6 months, but you have no right to an opinion on this." "I have every right to my opinion, Governor. I know the moment she meets those women they know her. they will get her. Every chance they get." "Good, let them. Fairbanks has a lot to answer for though. They have the facilities to house someone like King, and yet we get bunked with her." Diane then said "Highmore couldn't take her because they don't have enough officers for their isolation wing. The governor there Joan Kirkpatrick is doing something about it.. the deputy will try much harder though. "What about Barnhurst?" "You're kidding right? its a prison out in the country." Diane walked over to Jackie and slapped her across the face. "I wanted to do that for about 26 years." "Save it.." "The abuse charge.." said Jensen. "What about it?" "Can it be upheld?" Adena looking at the group said "It's a matter of principal. Those who are innocent of that crime are always having pushed in their faces again. Sometimes the person who lodges that complaint can't tell fact from fiction. There was a case back in 2015, a woman named Leech was charged with historic offences. The person claimed sexual misconduct. Leech was originally found guilty. Told to serve 300 hours community service. Spent months proving her innocence. In the end the person finally admitted she was ill and told the court lies. The conviction was stricken from record, but Leech struggled, all because someone couldn't tell the difference between someone off of a TV show and real life. Leech never found work again. It was all over, it ruined her reputation and no one wanted a bar of her. You can't get back those moments before the storm. Whether you are innocent or guilty the facts need to be set out first, its hard enough maintaining your sanity after a court case like that, but something as big as a charge of misconduct and its always a career stall. No matter who you are, famous or not, it'll be the downfall of many people." everyone nodded as the alarm sounded and the radio's went off.

Season 9 ep 5
"Sierra 15 to sierra 1, we have a problem." "What sort of problem sierra 15?" "The prisoners have taken over the exercise yard, and it looks like they are rioting. We can't get out to the yard, someone's cut access." Wilson rubbed his head as he said "All right I'll get on to it. Just make sure you watch what's going on.." Jensen then said "Governor, I believe its a distraction.." "I know its a distraction. they're trying to get to King. Those outside are rioting because of King." "Their gonna kill her.." "I know that." Wilson rubbed his head as other officers left the room to see what they could do and Wilson spoke into his radio "Sierra 1 to security room, is anyone there?" "Yes Governor, what is it?" "Can you spot anyone going into B block?" "Ah, no governor, there are prisoners headed toward b block isolation." Wilson then said "Alright..keep watch. I need reinforcements." "Will do governor." Wilson then got on the phone to Hampton. "I need guards here at the prison. We are on lockdown, prisoners in the yard rioting and others have gone to isolation.. To kill." "I can send guards to deal with the riot. if they want to kill they can." "You're not serious are you? That will add years to their sentences.." "I know, but we can use this to our advantage." Wilson then said "I don't like where this is going.." Wilson hung up the phone as he went over to the window and saw the prisoners, they were fighting, but could see weapons weren't involved. As Jackie was making her way to B block she was tackled from behind by some prisoners and had a pillow case put over her head. "You won't get away with this.." said Jackie. "We already have..move.." the prisoner then took out Jackie's cuffs and put them on Jackie's wrists. Jackie being pushed around as Wilson got another radio call from the security room. "Governor, they've taken an officer hostage.." Wilson grabbed his radio and said "Who?" "I don't know which one it is, but it's a Miles sister.." Wilson lowered his radio and rubbed his face. Wilson then said into his radio. "I need all units to report in please." as he did everyone reported in. "Sierra 1 to sierra 6 are you there?" "sierra 6?" Jackie then said "let me answer it, they know I've been taken, please just let me take the call. The prisoner grabbed the radio and said "Sierra 6 is held up.." Wilson's eyes glazed over and he said "I know what you are planning, this will not look good if you want revenge on someone like King." "Isn't it governor. From what we see, killing her rids the stench of kid killer out of the prison and makes it safer." "I don't know what the department will say about that.." "The department want her gone as much as you do.." the radio cut out as Wilson heard a knock at the door, Hampton opened it and said "The spare guards are taking care of business outside. The power to the card readers is down and will take a while to hack into." Wilson grabbed his radio and said "Sierra 1 to sierra 3, can you spot any weapons down there?" "None that I can see governor. I see our backup has arrived. No telling how many need medical attention.." Wilson rubbed his head and said "Sierra 1 to medical, prepare for an influx of patients after this.." "Already on it governor.". as Jackie was dragged to b block isolation, Adena was following them. "Stop!" said Adena. The prisoners stopped as the leader took of the pillow case on Jackie's head. The prisoner who was holding Jackie was holding a shiv to her throat and said "Back off Ferguson.. She's ours.." "Who, Jackie or King?" "Both. We have her radio. All we need is a way in." "Use her swipe card." said Adena. "You of all people shouldn't be encouraging this Adena!" said Jackie. A prisoner then un-clipped Jackie's belt and took off her card. Still being held at shiv point, Jackie said "You're a bitch, Ferguson.." Ferguson smiled and said "You can't intimidate me. I've heard it all before.." "You know what they'll do to her!" Ferguson nodded and said "I know." Jackie then said "You know I don't come into work to be held hostage for the 3rd time.. What are you going to do.." Ferguson smiled and walked over to the security look and took the pass off the prisoner and used Jackie's pass to open 3 of the gates. "Down the end and to the left." "The board will hear about this.." Adena then got in Jackie's face and said "The person who finds her, will be another guard. Because you won't remember anything. It'll be ruled suicide. Because if you forgotten, b block isolation is famous for it. Imagine Jackie, you were so wrapped up you forgot that people like Mary King, cannot be redeemed. Her daughter was shot, and died in hospital. She shot without an inch of remorse. We were the only prison with the security measures to take her. But as soon as she arrived, she caused trouble. The women were rowdy for 3 days. They want blood. The department has refused to be anywhere near this, and everyone else is on edge, but you. You think you know the criminal mind because you were on the other side for 6 months. All you learned was officers aren't the only ones who receive bashing's, it's not a pretty way to do it." Ferguson then walked away as Jackie said "Bitch.", the prisoners laughed as the one with the shiv hit Jackie in the head, knocking her unconscious and falling to the floor. Putting the shiv away the prisoner said "Drag her by her arms. She's not going anywhere." "Actually.." the other prisoner dragged Jackie to the gate and released the cuffs from one wrist to cuff it to the isolation gate. "I hope she's ok.." "I don't she's a screw, who cares.." the prisoner then took off Jackie's tie and used it too gag her. "That's a bit far.. even for you.." "Oh who care. Lets get done what we needed to get done." Ferguson's radio then went off. "Sierra 1 to sierra 8 I need you in my office." "Coming Governor." Ferguson put the radio back and looked behind her, she couldn't see anything and made her way to the governor's office. "You wanted to see me governor?" "Yeah I did. The prisoners down in the yard have dispersed and have been taken back to their cells. The guards are still patrolling, have you seen anything else?" "No governor. I went to b block and didn't see anything, then went to h block and didn't see anything there either." Hampton who was sitting in the office said "If there is something else.." "I haven't slept in 3 days. But I know if something isn't right.." "the fact that you are in agony and working today shows me how dedicated you are Adena." "It's just a graze wound.." "not according to the medical report.. it cracked ribs.." "I've cracked them before its nothing new.." "not in an event like this.." Adena lowered her head. "You can't see it but I'm so sore, I don't think I could sleep. This whole thing is ludicrous." as Jensen was checking out b block he saw Jackie from the distance. "Jesus Christ.." Jensen ran up to Jackie who was still unconscious and bleeding from the head and said "Jackie, can you hear me?" Jensen took to his radio and said "This is sierra 15 to medical I need immediate attention in the b block solitary unit. I have an officer down, I repeat officer has been injured." "Copy that we're on our way." Wilson then received the radio call from medical "Officer down Governor. coming from the B block isolation unit." "Lets go.." said Wilson, as Adena and Hampton followed and they made it before medical did. "Thank god, you made it.." said Jensen as he un-cuffed the handcuff from Jackie's wrist. "She's been out for I don't know how long." "That's a nasty head cut she's got going on there. What happened here?" Simmons then walked out of the isolation unit and said "There's a reason they name this unit the suicide unit. It claimed another victim." Adena kneeling down next to Jensen and helping him role Jackie onto her side said "I can take a guess on what happened.." Hampton then said "After Jackie comes to, I want a meeting. This needs to be taken care of, quietly. " as medical arrived, Hampton said "You know where to find me. I'll be in the staff room." Hampton walked away, and medical took Jackie away. hours later all the staff were in a meeting, as Jackie had a bandage around her head. "How are you feeling, Jackie? Remember much?" "I couldn't if I tried.. I just remember prisoners taking me hostage and waking up in medical.." Hampton then said "You know why you are all here. After Jackie was taken to medical, we took out a dead prisoner from the isolation block in b block. That prisoner was Mary King. King was hung by the neck in a suicide staging. That's what the department will put down. That she regretted her actions and couldn't do anything about it, so she hung herself to repent, or something." Jackie looked up and said "So you lie to the board and to the police?" "Oh Jackie.. for once just be quiet, and I'll explain. There was directive from the department that prisoners were going to attack her, we knew it and the entire department knew it. King would've been killed in here sooner or later." "surely that directive, meant protecting her as well?" "No, Jackie. not one bit. that directive was in place to protect others, not King. King was scum." Jackie was going to say something but was told to shut up by Julia. Adena holding her side as Wilson said "all records of King's stay here will be stricken from record. We never discuss this again, and if it is brought up, immediate suspension for 3 days.." "The place has been so tense these last few days, I struggle to realise how much a case like these hurts the guards and other prisoners." said Jackie. "I see someone finally found the light." "I guess I took on a lot of my prisoner mind. It's not like I have any say on what people do in here. I am coming back from a suspension and yeah I know I drag on about my son, but everything that's happened has made me realise, this job means so much to me. and I get why we have been so close to snapping at each other." Hampton then said "Alright.. enough. Give me the files and I'll destroy them." Wilson handed over the files and Hampton nodded, "night all." "night.." Wilson dismissed the guards, and he turned to Adena and said "Go home. Rest.." "I can't I'm needed here." Wilson looked at Adena and said "Not tonight. Look you can stay at my place, I'll cook some dinner and then you can sleep in the spare room. I have reports to do and maybe we can just talk?" Adena smiled and said "Thanks for the offer.." "I mean it. You need to sleep, or else I'll be picking you up off of the floor." Ferguson agreed to and said "I appreciate this.." "I know.." an hour later, Wilson was cooking dinner for Adena who was sitting on the lounge watching the news. And the news report came on TV. "Yes, we have some breaking news that has just been made public, Mary King who was on remand at Underline Prison for double murder and assault charges, was found dead in her cell after she had committed suicide. A source inside the prison said that mounting tensions and keeping the prisoners away from a high profile prisoner was too much for King to bear. A guard was found unconscious near where the prisoner was found and the source inside the prison said the guard who was knocked out was done so by King, the guard is reported as okay and at home resting with concussion. Hector Reporter, reporting live." as Wilson brought out dinner, he st beside Adena and they at in quiet. When they were finished they just put their dishes on the table and Wilson looked at Adena in the eyes before kissing her. The two embraced in a kiss, before Wilson backed away. "I'm sorry.." Adena then looked at him and said "That's alright.." Wilson stood up and said "I haven't felt this way about someone before.. someone I work with.." Adena smiled as Wilson went back over and kissed her again, before pulling away again and saying "I should let you go to bed. Let those ribs heal." "Whatever you say.." Ferguson smiled as she went into the spare bedroom and sat on the bed, before laying her head down and finally going to sleep after 72 hours.

Season 10 ep 10
"This is sierra 8 to all units, requesting immediate backup to B block cells, a riot has broken out between the women and I need all the help I can." "Copy that sierra 8." the radio then started going off and so did the prison PA system stating the prison is in lockdown. "This is open channel Underline Prison we have injured officers outside the building, ambulances are on the way.. Use of deadly force if needed applies. Find other injured officers and slow down this riot. End it. Shoot to kill orders are in place. I repeat are in place." Adena then ran to the armory where she saw Anita who was bleeding from the mouth. "Those women are outta touch." "What the hell happened?" "I dunno. Someone set them off about the death of an ex inmate. This is the last thing we needed today." Adena opened the locker and pulled out a rifle. "You don't back down now, Collins. You either get a gun or you face those women with capsicum spray.." "Adena.. What the hell is wrong with you? Years ago you wouldn't have touched a gun." "Blackmont was a different prison. Here they'll kill if they have the chance. It's what happened with the ex deputy governor." "But you were the deputy governor.." Adena rubbed her head and said "Before me, there was Phil Purcell he served as deputy governor for 5 years. He was murdered by one of the inmates who said they did it for 'shits and gigs'. His fiance almost attacked them. I stopped her, not before being pushed head first into a security gate, earning my first stripes as an Underline Guard." Anita grabbed a gun from the locker and said "I can't believe we got the orders to shoot to kill. I don't think I can do it.." "I know I can." "Oh I know you can.." "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Anita didn't say anything as she walked away. As Ferguson left the room she bumped into Jackie. "How is it?" "Getting worse, the sooner we can end this riot the bloody better. I'm exhausted." "Aren't we all." Adena walked away with weapon in arms as she turned a corner as spotted guards subduing one lot of prisoners, while Adena did some more rounds her radio went off. "Open link channel, B Block riot under control, but elements are popping out of nowhere. Stop them." Adena roamed the corridors as she saw Anita being hold hostage by some prisoners. "Look what we got 'ere.. Officer Collins." "You got me.. What do you want?" "You know what we want. A little dignity. Some time to ourselves." "I don't control that, you know it.." "We know you don't.. Who's gonna stop us.." Adena with her weapon raised walked over to the group and said "I am." they laughed as Adena fired her weapon, killing one of the prisoners in the process. "We have been given orders, shoot to kill. I'm quite prepared to shoot all of you if you don't back down. This is a high powered weapon, this one here is used for hunting. So if I have to I will shoot you like animals." "We have Collins' weapon. What are you gonna do.?" "If we have to treat you like animals, we will deal with you like animals." Anita looked up before being thrown at Ferguson who caught Anita before putting Anita to the side. Ferguson fired several warning shots, before Anita grabbed Ferguson's hand and said "Stop shooting at them Ferguson." "I have orders. I am following them." "Stuff those orders. Adena. Lower your weapon, these people are frightened.." Ferguson turned around and pushed Anita to the wall and said "Shut it." before Anita slumped to the floor. The prisoners who were watching this said "You treat all your colleagues like that?" "No, I don't.. But you might want to get back to your cells. Before I shoot you." Adena was walking and aiming the weapon at them as Adena made it back with them to B Block. "Put your weapons down." she said as Jackie made it to her. "Nice.." the prisoners dropped their weapons as they got into their cells and Adena closed the door to the unit. Adena grabbed her radio and said "This is sierra 8, B block unit 3 has put weapons down and returned to their units." "Copy that sierra 8. The riot is almost under control." "Still no idea on how this started? Someone said something about the death of a former inmate?" "Yeah, that's what one of the injured guards said. It was about that." "Oh for crying out loud." "Sometimes I wonder, why I still stay in this job.." said Jackie. Then the radios went off again. "Command to all units, we have word the riot is now under control and all of B block has returned to their units." Adena handed her weapon over to Jackie as Adena said into her radio. "Copy that command. Will do rounds now just in case." "Copy that sierra 8." as Adena walked the corridors, she spotted a rifle on the floor and picked it up, followed by a trail of blood. "Oh no.." she said, she turned the corner and spotted Anita on her back, dropping the rifle Ferguson rushed over to Anita and grabbed her radio as she looked over her injuries. "This is sierra 8 to outside units, bring in a paramedic and have the ambulance ready to leave. I've found an officer... It's Anita." "copy that sierra 8. paramedics and a trolley on the way." "Anita, can you hear me?" Ferguson said as she was holding her shoulders. "Anita.. If you can hear me, squeeze my hands.." "I can hear you.." "That's good. can you tell me what happened?" "It's  a blur.", as Jensen rushed in a few guards, Adena was holding pressure on the wounds on Anita's leg. "Adena.. What happened?" "I dunno. I wasn't around. I was with Jackie at the time." Jackie nodded as Anita then said "It's a blur.. I don't remember much. Beside someone hitting me in the back, then taking out my legs.." Adena looked at Jensen before saying "Can you feel me holding pressure?" "Yeah I can. It's kinda painful though." as the medics arrived they got Anita on to a bed and outside into the ambulance. Adena took her gloves off as the police took away the person Adena shot. "These riots never get any easier.." "No they don't.. But whoever mentioned Boomer will be getting a stay in the slot. I cannot believe another prisoner would goad someone into starting a riot.." "Wouldn't be the first time." "Just clean this place up. All weapons are to go back to the armory. B block is to remain on lockdown." A couple of days later, things slowly got back to normal as a meeting was called. "Well. B block lockdown was lifted, they will clean up whatever mess is left over. On another piece of news, we've received word from the hospital. She's requested to see you Ferguson." Adena nodded and said "I will after my shift." "Do it during your lunch break. We can handle it.." "Alright if you insist." "Doctors are saying her injuries are more serious then first thought. She may be in hospital for a while." Jensen then said "How many prisoners did we lose the other day? The shoot to kill rule may have been flaunted in this situation." "Only 3. We put the shoot to kill rule in place when officers lives are at stake. I cannot believe I am saying this but I reviewed the footage from the other day.. Anita's injuries could've been prevented.. If an officer was with her at all times.." "Governor, if I may. It was a riot, we were all in 30 different places at once. We are understaffed and the only thing that helped us were our weapons. Until you can fix the staff problem, the shoot to kill rule will have to remain in place if a riot breaks out." "And leave a prison with no prisoners and families wondering why we shot their loved ones?" "It's out lives at stake. I'm done protecting a bunch of societal rejected retards who cannot control themselves on the streets. This is a prison. Not a holiday camp. This is our job. They are behind bars, they don't deserve special treatment." said Simmons. "I understand it more than you do, but the armory isn't a place to arm yourself for work." "We will start having to soon!" said Adena. "You'd be happy to take them all out into a field wouldn't you Adena?" "Why is everyone having a go at me? Armed guard patrol for the next couple of weeks at least. Either that or I walk.." "Then why don't you?" said Jackie. "I have more to prove then everyone else here. I treat these people the way I'm supposed to, like criminals who broke the law. It's about time the rest of you do to." "You're starting to sound like Joan Ferguson, more and more.." "Funny that. I got told that once, but I'm for less redeemable then Joan ever was. I have done a lot of things in my career. I have risked everything, shot prisoners during riots, been accused of murder and stuff. But it never sticks because I am a damn good officer and have been for years. The rest of you have a lot to be desired.. I stepped down from deputy governor for this. I tried my damnedest to be the deputy governor you were used to, but I'm too tough or too strict. It doesn't make sense. You either learn to cope with this job or it takes every ounce to wake up in the morning." Adena left the room and slammed the door. Adena a few moments later was at the hospital talking with Anita. "You wanted to see me?" "Yeah I did.. sit down.." Adena sat down as Anita said "This here is me.. And it will be me for the next few years.." "What?" "My injuries Adena." "What about them. Wilson said they were more serious then first thought.." "He was right. I will spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair." "What?" "I couldn't feel my legs when you were holding them the other day. Turns out when I was attacked, they hit me in the right spot, I have no use of my legs. the nerve damage is far too great." "Oh god.. I'm sorry.." "The funny thing is.. you're not sorry. If you hadn't of left, I wouldn't be here. This one is on you.." "Oh no it's not. If you weren't so pissy about having to be armed then you would've been alright. If you have gotten up and followed us you wouldn't be here." scoffing Anita said "The thing is, the old Adena would not have said that. The old Adena cared. When did you lose your humanity? When you found Linda dead in her cell? You had someone who cared about you, someone who loved you. Then something happened..." "Something did happen. Linda happened to me. Linda ruined me. I haven't found love like that again. Linda meant a lot, but after that. I couldn't." "You always said you grew up after her death. But the thing was, you made it harder. You became more hardlined more fierce. You were deputy governor at the time and we were all shit scared of you." "I became the person I had to.." "You've said that so many times it has lost all meaning. Adena you are the opposite of the person I used to know." "Than perhaps you shouldn't know me." "I'd rather forget you existed but sometimes it's hard to forget what you have done. I still remember that riot when you were hostage and took out 4 prisoners in one go. 3 are now dead and one's a doctor I think." "things change you." "We used to talk all the time, have dinner. I don't know what happened in that mind of yours Adena. But I don't like it." "Too bloody bad. This Adena is staying." "I know in a way you're sorry. But you let power and loss control who you are. You are the person from a movie who tells everyone its fine and next minute its not. We give our lives for corrections. You've given more than others." "Anita.." "Just go." Adena looked at her one more time before leaving, and as she left Hampton walked into the room and said "She has no clue?" "None." "Well, the board as put in the request and it was taken right away. You will take over as Womens Rights Vote after Meg Morris left the vote after dropping out of the vote entirely." as Adena went back to work, Wilson said "How is she?" "High in spirits I think. After what she told me.." "What?" "She'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. She's paralyzed in her legs. Has no use of them." "Far out.."

Season 10 ep 25
Wilson was walking through the prison, and he was standing outside the education department. He looked into the room to where officer Hammer was. He entered the room and talked to him. "I'll take it from here Ham." "Thanks." Hammer turned around and said "is everything alright?" "I don't know.. Something about today is extremely weird.." "It's probably nothing.." Hammer then left the room as Wilson logged onto the computer and tried to access his files but he couldn't. "Oh you have to be kidding me." he tried again and the access was denied and he was locked out of the system. "Fuck it.." he logged out of the computer and he hit the table as he stood up and got out of the room. Wilson walked outside to take guard in the yard as he heard radio chatter. "Yeah Sierra 10, apparently Hampton's here, he's doing something with the governors office.." "Probably updating security or something.." Wilson grabbed his radio before Diane came over and held his hand and put it down. "Not worth it.." "What are you talking about.." "We can all hear the radio chatter. If Hampton wants to tell you something he will." ""Are you sure about that? I've been locked out of my own system.. Something is going down." "I haven't been able to get into my file for years. Whats the matter." "Regional Command normally calls me when they visit, but I really think something is going down.." as Wilson was about to move the alarm for the compound went off. "Attention Compound.. code black. I repeat code black.." "Sierra 6 to sierra 4 where is the code?" "In the visitor centre sierra 6." "On our way.." Miles and Wilson made it to the visitor centre were they were performing CPR on a young kid. "What happened?" said Miles. "Kid was being used as a drug mule. Bags probably exploded." Miles turned to the prisoner and said "What gear has she taken?" The prisoner said "I don't know.." Wilson then said "12 years for trafficking.. and another 12 for manslaughter. Thats 24 years if you don't tell us, what gear she has taken!" "I ain't tellin.." "You've got to be fuckin' kidding me." as Julia switched with Diane, Diane then said "When you get back from the slot they will kill you for using your kid as a drug mule, you know how much they hate that." The prisoner looked down and said "It was coke.." Everyone looked up as Wilson said "Slot her.." Hammer nodded and took the prisoner with him to the slot. "Sierra 10 to sierra 6, ambulance is outside.." "copy that." as the police and ambos rushed in Hampton was standing inside the door to the centre. Wilson took over from Julia, and Hampton opened the door and said "What happened?" "Prisoner tried to use her own kid as a drug mule. Coke." said Miles. "How long has she been down?" "15 minutes.." said Julia. "Check for output. You may have to call it." as the CPR was stopped to use the defibrillator, it didn't work, as the ambos put her on the gurney and rushed outside and to the hospital. "Sierra 10 to 6, prisoner is in the slot." "Copy that sierra 10." Miles stood up and clipped her radio back in and said "This is the part of the job that pisses me off. We have all these precautions and search every visitor, but it still gets through. Kids as drug mules I hope when she gets released from the slot they attack her.." "You shouldn't condone violence Diane.." "And you should be doing more about it Wilson.. This is the 3rd code black in the visitor center this month. Suspend visits for fuck sake. Or else more will die.." Miles waved her hand as she walked away. Julia and Hampton shared a look as they walked away leaving Wilson in the visitor centre alone. Wilson hit the wall as he went to talk to the prisoners. The prisoners gathered as Wilson said "All visits are being suspended and phone calls are cut off until further notice." "You gotta be kidding.." "Oh really? I got someone in the slot, being charged with using their kid as a mule." "They what.." "Used their kid as a mule..." Hampton was watching on as he walked closer to Wilson and whispered in his ear. "Oh that's messed up.." "What?" "The kid died." Wilson then said "Well. I guess the cops know. Thats 20 years onto the sentence." Hampton walked away as Wilson was furious. "This drug problem is disgusting.." Wilson walked away. In a quiet room Miles and Hampton were talking. "This isn't helping anyone. But have you made your mind up yet?" "We did.The board is just making a decision now.." "He's gonna be mad.." "It doesn't matter." Miles nodded as her radio went off. "Sierra 6 this is sierra 3 requesting you in the dining room." "Copy that, on my way." Miles went to the dining room as Hampton made his way to the conference room. Wilson was standing in the corridor, as he decided to go back into his office. He used his card to open the door but it didn't work. "What.. is going on.." said Wilson. "Hey.." he said to his receptionist. "Why can't I get in?" "I don't know sir." he tried again and nothing happened. "You can't get in because the cards been changed." said Hampton. "Pardon?" "The regional director is swearing in the new governor.." "New governor?" Hampton went up to face Wilson and said "That's right.. Your position as governor became untenable." "untenable.. untenable how?" "You should know." "I've been governor for 7 years. When Vera tried to kill Phil, who rose up and looked after the prison." "I don't think you get it. Under your watch the amount of prisoners dying was triple what Vera had. On your watch Vera was shived and killed, Phil was handcuffed and put into the slot, a reporter was shot and killed on sight in the carpark, several other officers have been put in danger, and Phil was handcuffed to a staircase banister and died, on your watch. You lost the prisoners ages ago." "That's shit.. getting rid of more for trying to get the prison back to normal.." Wilson then said "I'm done.." "Of course you are." Wilson walked away as Hampton folded his arms. Wilson made his way to the prison hallway were Julia said "Wilson, you okay?" "Fuck off Julia.." Julia stopped and said "You don't get to say that anymore. Look at me and tell me what is wrong?" Wilson turned around as he took off his name badge and threw it to the floor. He took off his belt and dropped it to the floor. "You tell me.. My tenure as governor was made untenable." "Maybe you deserve it." Wilson angry walked over to Julia and pinned her against the wall grabbing her throat in the process. "Was it you?" struggling to talk as prisoners surrounded the area. "No it wasn't." "Then who could it be, replacing me.." "I don't know.." as Hammer "Move.." Hammer looked as he saw Julia in a hold and he said "That's enough Wilson." Miles was also looking on in horror. "68 other officers are in this building with a reason to become governor. What would you gain?" "nothing... i never put anything forward." Hammer reaching for his pepper spray said "Let her go Wilson." Wilson looked as he released his grip and grabbed Julia's shoulders and dropped her to the floor. "Ah.. ah.. ah.." Wilson reached in his shirt and pulled out a gun and held it to Julia's head. "How the hell did you get that in.." "I'm an ex-governor, there are ways.." Hammer reached for his radio and said "Sierra 18 calling command. We have a situation in the hallway." Hampton was looking on in the security room and said "Keep the situation controlled. He won't shoot." Julia was rubbing her throat struggling to breathe and said "You did this to yourself.." the gun in her face Wilson said "Yeah I got that gist. I lost the women. Like any governor.." "You lost the women after you let Boomer attack Phil.." said Julia who still had the gun in her face. As the situation was just talking, Wilson finally put his weapon down and said "I'm done with this line of work." as Wilson stepped away from Julia, Wilson was tackled by the guards and thrown outside and taken away. The prisoners dispersed as Diane helped her sister off the ground. 4 hours later, the door opened for the new governor. Julia turned around and looked toward the compound, she then looked at the safe and said "Everything's gonna be ok."

Season 11 ep 1
"Hampton it's been two weeks. We still don't know who the governor is." "Well. You know its someone who works here.." "Can I ask.. What happened with Wilson?" said Hammer. "He got charged with assault and bringing a weapon in to the prison. Unfortunately for Wilson he'll never see the inside of an office again. He's being sentenced, and rumours are that he could get 20 years." "Gee." As Miles was standing by the TV, she turned it on as it went to a breaking news story. "We have breaking news coming from Rodeo courthouse. Former Underline Governor Jackson Wilson has today been sentenced to 20 years behind bars on an array of charges, those including common assault, weapon trafficking, conspiracy to commit assault, intimidation, corruption and misconduct. Mr Wilson told the court that the moment he was told his job was untenable is the moment he snapped, he told the courtroom everything that he had done during his tenure as governor including taking bribes from prisoners and getting a prisoner to hold onto to a weapon he almost used on another officer. He never meant to hurt anyone in the process. He sends his apologies to the staff of Underline, who have these past two weeks haven't been told who has replaced Wilson as governor. Underline Board Member Tuck Hampton has been taking the reigns over and he has said that the governor will be introduced to the officers soon enough. This is Hector Reporter, reporting live." as Julia was watching the TV from the governors officers she stood up and said "Holy fuck..." to herself. "It's real now.." as Julia walked over to the desk the name badge was still sitting on the foam, she picked it up and put it on and reached for her belt and put it on. She took a deep breathe in and grabbed the folder on the table and made her way out the door. Her heels making some noise as she made her way to the door of the staff-room, she breathed in as she could hear the conversation. "Two weeks without knowing who the governor is.. Tuck that's dangerous for everyone." "Not as dangerous as having a gun pointed in your face. 20 years is a long time for Wilson, he got what he deserved." As Julia got her pass and scanned the door she opened it and walked into the room. "Good morning.." she said as everyone turned around. Hampton smiled as he walked over and said "Meet the new governor. Julia." Julia nodded and said "These two weeks with the court case and everything going on, it was best not to announce, its why I was privately sworn in as governor before Wilson went nuts." Hammer then said "Two weeks ago, you almost died. You had a gun put to your face... Would've thought you quit." "It's no worse then having a shiv put to your neck. Wilson was never going to fire the weapon because he was afraid. We were all afraid that day. And that this is a change of leadership." "Got that right." said Miles. "Can I ask who is deputy?" "The same deputy that was under Wilson." "Me? Oh dear.." said Miles. Julia opened the folder and handed out sheets. "Now, the one thing I am going to try and do is get the women back onside. Wilson lost them after the last code black, he stopped visits and privileges and its time to reinstate a few of them. Those who are coming up for parole will be told if they end up in the slot they'll lose their right to appeal for parole. Another is suspending visits for those prisoners known for junkie boyfriends." "They wont like that." said Hammer. "You talk about getting them onside Jules, but the only thing that'll get them onside is knowing that the governor is there for them. Its a prison they need to know the governor is doing their job properly." "I am aware of that Hammer. What I am trying to say is we stamp out the drug dealers outside the prison and it wont end up in the prison." as Julia kept talking she was talking about a lot of things and she ended up saying "Alot of things have happened in this prison. We've lost a lot of good people. But what we do for them is channel our anger into the job. I know you're all still pretty upset over what happened with Phil, but you use your feelings and gut instincts to know what happens now and in the future you are doing this job for a reason. If you ran out of reasons to come into work, then you are free to leave. I will write a glowing reference for you, because you have to find that motivation to come to work for long hours and protect these women from themselves sometimes. Thats what I am going to do from here on out. Now get to work, you all have work to do." they all nodded and left the room as Hampton nodded and said "Best of luck." Hampton left the room as Diane stayed and Julia said "I know how much you loved him. Phil was a good guy. He had so much going for him.." "Do you ever think, if he survived, would he be governor?" "No.. He would've stayed as the deputy." Miles sat down and said "I think about him all the time you know.. He's the first thing I think about everyday.. And the last thing I think about when I go to bed. Fuck this job sometimes.. We do our best and it gets shat back in our faces. Fuck, you never said anything about gunning for governor.." "I went to the board a couple of years ago. A vote of no confidence to get rid of Wilson. He lost the women long before the drug kid. The board agreed and kept it a secret. I knew no one else did." "Did you mention it at all in conversation?" "It was subtle I threw hints, no one knew or cared. Which is what I wanted." "But when he held you up against the wall do you think he knew?" "No doubt. He knew, but he was too pissed to care. In the end it happened." "Oh it did. Just tell me.. you never had a problem gambling did you? You went straight to the board with a big wad of cash yeah?" "No.. but if I catch you taking bribes, you know where your going.." the two laughed as Miles' radio went off. "Sierra 11 to sierra 5 police are here for the transfer of drug mule lady." "Sierra 5 to 11 copy that." Miles put her radio down and said "That's one other thing. Making sure kids aren't used as mules." Julia nodded as Miles left the room.

Season 11 ep 2
"I don't know what's happening out there Julia. But how many people have been slotted in the last month?" "About 3.." Hampton put the folder down and said "That's heaps better than Vera and Wilson. Are these women still interested in drugs?" "According to the peer worker the only crew that has gear is the Asian Crew. Everyone else isn't keen on the drugs anymore. They'll always be a drug issue which we always have to adapt to and test out." Julia rubbed her head and said "The only reason we're in this mess is because of Wilson and Vera. Had Vera gave Phil the job earlier, he wouldn't of had to pay that $100k for just being in the slot and isolation and if Wilson got shit done, it would've been easier said then done." "It's how it works in prison Julia." "Don't you think I know that. I know that better than anyone.." "Can.. I ask, why do you always seem so angry?" Julia looked up and said "I don't like discussing it.." Hampton rubbed his face and said "Was it Phil's death that made you angry or was it Wilson being in charge?" "No.. I'm still angry at the fact Wilson fart-arsed around for 30 minutes before ordering an ambulance for Phil. Had that ambulance been called straight away, Phil would still be standing here! It will always be Wilson's fault. I read the report, had he made it 10 minutes earlier, he would've survived his injuries. He would be standing here in this office as my deputy, probably married to Diane by now. So of course I am angry at Jackson Wilson. Those 7 years he was in charge, he lost the women, every single one of them when he refused to let them outside after Vera was killed. That was a 3 month lockdown. He lost them for good after Boomer was aloud to go back into general population. Boomer didn't last the week. She had her throat slit in the showers. Another lockdown for 3 months.. Do you have any idea what that does to a person? Let alone a guard, we're on edge enough as it is. You can't do what he did." "I understand. But there's something else, you're not telling me.." Julia looked up and said "A few years back, I was pregnant. I was shived. Stabbed multiple times in the stomach. The shiv was still me when I was in medical. The doctor went outside to call for help, he whispered in my ear "This one's on the prisoners.." and he pushed that shiv deeper and to the left." "What did that do?" said Hampton with his voice cracking. "It's severed the umbilical cord. He killed my baby." "I read that report.. It was sent to the board.. I always hate seeing pregnant people attacked..." "The worse thing about it is I as a kid wanted a family, but as I grew up, I had to have an ovary removed, that decreased my chances. I miscarried 2 times before I had a one night stand and fell pregnant. Turns out, it made me see things more clearly." "How?" "I wouldn't feel right working in those conditions. I had written up my resignation letter. Planned to hand it in. Never happened. When I got to hospital, the baby was already gone, there was also so much damage to the other ovary as well. They had to remove both." Julia wiped her eye as Hampton breathed in heavily. "I wasn't going to return to work and cry about what happened. I stood tall and put that anger into my work. When Phil died I also put that anger in there as well. The prisoner who attacked me was moved to Barnbrook and given life. But I still carry around those scars. Internal and otherwise.." "If you don't mind me asking... Is that why you returned to work so early?" "I wasn't going to sit there and feel sorry for myself I couldn't do that. I lost a lot that day. But I needed to work." As a knock on the door was heard Diane entered and said "It's a dead shift.." "Of course it is.." Diane closed the door. "What are you guys talking about?" "The mess Wilson and Vera left.." "Vera didn't help her causes did she.." "No she didn't." "What were you discussing, before I came in?" Julia wiped her eyes and said "The day I was attacked." "Are you sure you can relive that?" "Wilson is the reason that Phil and my baby are dead. Wilson did a lot of good things for this prison, but he fucked over a lot of good officers." Hampton then said "We were lucky after he was sentenced a lot of those officers came back." Julia stood up and went over to the door and said "I couldn't give two shits about Wilson now. I hope he does die." Julia opened the door and closed it behind her leaving Diane and Hampton together. "I'd like to know more about you and Phil's relationship. You two were very proud. Kept your engagement a secret, loved each other.." Miles smiled and said "He was a good man. Everything Phil did as an officer was like he'd already done it as a lawyer. Phil saw both sides of the bars. He was complex, and caring and kind. We developed a bound when he was put into protective isolation for those couple of months. We were always talking, we took it slowly, he told me about Texas, his wives and his losses. We shared a lot. And that's why the hardest thing was to keep working when he died. Being deputy governor at the time he wanted to be loved and liked, and he did that. He was amazing. When he asked me to marry him he said this time he knew it was different, that he met the person he was ready to share the rest of his life with. It was the hardest thing to do.. Was say goodbye.." Diane looked at Hampton and said "You never forget having to say goodbye to someone you knew for so long.." "I understand how tough that must've been." Diane nodded as they opened the door and left the room. As they went into the staffroom, Julia was sitting at the computer and watching something. "Hey you two look at this.." they came over to watch the screen. "Yes breaking news here. Former Underline Governor Jackson Wilson who was serving time for his crimes including corruption and assault has been killed in prison by an inmate who hit him in the head so hard when his head hit the floor he was already dead. No word on if the prisoner who attacked Jackson has been charged but the prison is currently in lockdown and will be for months. HR reporting live." Julia got out of the tab as Miles looked at her and said "Mate..".. a few hours later Diane had finished her shift and left the prison. She had changed clothes and had a bouquet of flowers. Diane was walking down the cemetery to Phil's epitaph which had been placed after his ashes were scattered years prior. Diane knelled down and placed the flowers. She smiled as she touched the photo of Phil and said "I love you Phil.. So much.." she stood up and stared for awhile, before leaving.

Season 11 ep 3
It was a rainy day at the prison and Jackie was on duty in the yard when her radio went off. "Sierra 1 to sierra 6 requesting your presence in my office." "On my way sierra 1." Jackie looked at an officer and nodded for them to take over. Jackie left the yard and went to the office. "Jackie. Glad you made it.." "It's raining and its cold." Jackie stood by the window and said "You called me up here why?" "Your sons murder case. The police reopened the file." Jackie turned around and said "They can't do this to me.. not again.. I barely made it out the last time they found something.." "They found something else, something new. They gave me permission to share it with you." "If its the motive, then its almost 26 years too late!" "They found a USB with names on it. It was a hit list." "What? my son was apart of some gangland list?" "The leader of the gang, wanted those on the list killed for multiple reasons. Ryan was friends with the leaders son after all. Marked for death." "Fuck me sideways." Jackie was looking out the window into the yard. "Jackie... The leader is one of our guards. The police dug deeper into the file and they found out the leader, never charged him with anything, because nothing lead back to him, but he went into corrections to sever ties with this gang. Turns out he never did. He still has contacts. And his hit list is still active. The next officer they are going to kill, is you." "Who is it." Julia paused before looking up and said "It's Heath Brennan." Jackie turned around and made her way toward the door before being stopped by Diane who was in the room as well. "What are you gonna do?" "Kill him." "The only thing that will achieve Jackie, is a life sentence." "That's fine with me." "The entire time he was working here, he played us." "He played all of us." up on the other side of the roof Hammer was standing on the roof, with a sniper in hand, Hammer talking to himself said "Time to finish what I started." Hammer got down onto the ground and watched through the scope. Movement was all he saw, and the fact the window was open was a lot easier. "He got his piece of shit son, to murder my son. Ryan has his entire life to live and he was murdered for what? knowing someone? That's fucked.." "We have to get the police involved." Jackie looked up and said "Are you insane? The cops will tear this place apart. We go to the cops when we know something. They reopened a can of worms, and when everyone else finds out, he's the leader of a gang, it's not ending well for him." "What about you?" "Me?" "What happens to Greg if you get caught up in this again." Jackie looked at Diane and said "Greg and I have been through a lot, Greg knows what happened in that playground. Everyone in here, knows the fuckin' story by now. If you didn't, you'd know it." as Jackie stood in front of the window, she managed to see someone on the roof. She looked down and said "I guess we're about to find out." "Find out what?" said Julia. Hammer fired the shot and the shot went straight through the window hitting Jackie in the shoulder. "Ah fuck!" she said as she fell to the floor. "Where the fuck did that come from?" Julia took to her radio and said "Sierra 1 to all units, commence code purple event. Lock down the prison." Jackie on her haunches holding her shoulder said "He's not winning this." "And you're not going anywhere." Jackie stood up and held her shoulder and said "Call the code black. We find him." as the door opened Greg said "Governor, the police are on their way, they may be awhile though." Greg then looked at Jackie who was bleeding from her shoulder wound. "Jesus Christ.." "I'm ok.." Jackie walked toward the door as Greg stopped her. "You knew all this time didn't Greg?" "About?" "Heath.. He ordered the kill on my son." "Shit.. really?" "You taught PE for a living, surely something came up?" "No.. Jackie you can't do this, you can't go after him.." "I love you Greg. But if I have to face him, I will. I'm not scared anymore, not afraid, and I have you to thank for that." Jackie kissed Greg before leaving the office, as prison was placed into lockdown, Greg said "She'll get life I swear she'll do it." "Would you take the fall for her?" said Diane. "I would actually. I love her that much." "Then you know how far a mother would go.." Greg sighed as Jackie was walking down the hallway and a bleeding bullet hole wound. "Officer Miles.." said a prisoner, Jackie turned around. "Holy shit, you're bleeding." "I know.. Get to your unit." Jackie was still holding her shoulder when she made it to medical. "Officer Miles, what on earth." "Gauze me. I need to find Brennan." the nurse nodded and said "I need to see what type of wound it is.." Jackie lifted the arm up of her shirt using her other arm, the nurse used a torch to look. "Entry and exit wound, but it's bleeding. That wont stop, you need a hospital.." "That will be my call." "I'll gauze it and bandage it, but you gotta be careful.." "I know." as Jackie took her shirt off for the nurse to wrap the wound up, Jackie said "He did it you know.." "Who?" "Heath.." "He shot you? How, it's impossible to get a gun into the prison.." "He would've done it piece by piece. He was waiting for a perfect moment." "Jesus.." the nurse finished up and Jackie put her shirt back on and said "What are my chances if this bleeds again?" "Being shot by a rifle bullet is deadly enough, to survive injuries from another whether it be handgun or rifle, injuries would be extensive, looking at months of rehabilitation, at least 2 months recovery, years of scar tissue pain. Is this worth it?." Jackie stood up and nodded. "Now more than ever." Jackie walked out of the room and ran into another guard. "I already know thank you.." "I was gonna say, someone said they spotted him going toward the yard." Jackie nodded, as she went to go the power was cut out. and the radio went off. "Sierra 1 to all units power failure on all floors, be careful please.." Jackie made her way to the yard where Hammer was standing there with two weapons. "Glad to see you made it." "Wouldn't miss it.." Hammer through a weapon over to Jackie and said "So we're even.." Jackie picked it and said "What do you want me to do?" "You answered that question." Jackie's radio was going off as it was Greg. "Jackie, listen to me, you do this, you take this revenge and it will earn you life behind bars. Jack" Jackie turned her radio off, as Greg watched on from inside. "no!" he said banging on the glass. Jackie standing tell with gun in arm as Hammer said "You answers, you've wanted them for so long, what do you do now there standing in front of you." "Ricky was on your orders, because he made a friend." "Making friends wasn't apart of my business." "So you got your son to kill mine." "Your son was fodder." "He has a name. His name was Ryan, he was 15 years old." "I know how old he was." "It bears repeating. He was 15 years old. He had his ENTIRE life ahead of him. I never watched him grow up, never helped him to learn to drive, never got to do any of those things, all because of you." Jackie's arms shaking as a tear rolled down her cheek, she put down the weapon and said "Do it. End what you started. End what you started when you ordered another kid to kill my Ryan." Hammer fired his weapon hitting Jackie in the opposite shoulder, Jackie falling to the ground next to a planter box, holding the shoulder leaning over with blood on her face. Hammer walked over to her and knelled down. "I win." he said with a smile on his face.. "It takes a lot to bring me down.. But the thing is. I had an amazing group of people around me this entire time Heath, so in the end.. You lose.." Jackie's radio was turned as she leaned further into the grass. Everything she was saying could be heard. "Those moments in your life, were you know people have your back is the moment you know you've won." Jackie smiled as she stood up still holding her shoulder but lifting up her shirt and revealing she was wearing a bullet-proof vest. "The only thing that vest doesn't protect are shoulders." "I can live with that." Hammer then leaped at Jackie tackling her to the ground. As Hampton was in the building he said "I'm ending this. Now." Hampton went over to the cupboard and he got out a rifle used to taking down drones, Hampton went outside quickly and said "That's enough Hammer." Hammer had pulled his weapon and fired at Hampton who in return fired back, hitting Hammer in the head killing him but also getting Jackie in the same shoulder. Hampton put the weapon down and grabbed his radio. "This is sierra command to all units, medical assistance is required in the yard.." Hampton was holding Jackie as he said "You did good kid.." Jackie then said "You can live with that?" "You were a hostage, I did what I had to." Hampton helped Jackie off the ground and medical made it there as well. Jackie was taken to hospital and released a few days later. "Now is there going to be an investigation into Hampton shooting Hammer?" "No." said Julia. "Hampton was cleared because he had every right to protect his officers. Thats what he did." "And Hammer?" "Bullet to the brain and a tainted record." "How's Jackie doing by the way? 3 gunshot wounds to the shoulder can't be an easy thing.." "Technically it was 2. the 3 shot missed. We found the bullet lodged in a wall. But shoulder is ok." "She knew what she was doing? She wasn't insane?" "No.. She wasn't insane." said Jackie who was out of uniform and sporting a shoulder brace. "Welcome there.." "I wanted revenge of course, but that was no way to do it. I spent my entire life angry at someone who was forced to do something. In the end we all have a choice, I made mine." "Putting the weapon down." said Greg. "Putting the weapon down. I didn't see myself as a killer. I couldn't do that." Greg kissed Jackie, as Jackie said "I can live with this now. Knowing that he is gone, and knowing, like I said, people are around for me and for everyone, there is always something to be thankful for, I am thankful for everyone I work with."

Season 11 ep 6
It was another rainy day at Underline and Adena was just coming in for work, she made her way to reception and signed in. "Adena.." said Simmons. "The Governor wants to see you." "So bright and early.." "Like all meetings in this rain soaked dump.." "Yes.. Well nothing we can do about the weather.." "Oh, just be warned, the governor's not feeling 100% and when she is sick. she can be unbearable.." Adena nodded and went to the staffroom first and put her things away before going to see the governor. Adena knocked on the door an entered the room. "Governor, you wanted to see me?" "Yes.." "I need to know one thing. Did you know about Hammer Brennan being involved with the gangs?" "I was not aware of his involvement of any gang. Governor." "Your record shows that you worked with him at the same prison before he transferred to Baltic West. You must've been aware that he had a child, Adena." "Brennan and I weren't on talking terms then Governor.But I knew he had a young family, a son named Johnson." Julia looked at Adena and said "That file that was in Jackie's locker all those years ago, states 10 people who worked in Queensland at the time. 5 were officers in corrections, the other five were construction workers. It ruled you out because you never had children, and you had no connections." "Governor, let me be perfectly clear. I only started talking with Heath Brennan, when I started working here. We weren't friends, he never told me anything about sending his child to the same school as Jackie's kid. I've been a senior officer with years of experience, and you're throwing this accusation of what, conspiracy? I lost someone close and dear to me when I was working in Queensland corrections, I worked and I mourned at the same time. I had no time to think about Brennan or other matters during that time." "That report also states after that happened, you got violent on several occasions." "I became the officer I had to." "You did alright. So much so the other governor, had kind words very kinds. agreed the prison system needed to be more hard lined. The person who got you here, is another matter.." "Say his name Governor. Philip Purcell came to Queensland and toured some of the prisons for new guards that would join Underline and offered me a job here at Underline. I didn't have to think twice." Julia looked up and said "Phil? He offered you the job.." "You seemed surprised." "How did you know Phil?" "When he was a lawyer he handled my legal affairs from afar from his firm in Texas, I went over there for 7 months as part of a prison officer exchange and we met during a prisoner/lawyer meeting, we became friends and maintained a friendly relationship. We kept in contact for a long time. Philip offered me the deputy governorship, he was planning to resign after 5 years. An ex-lawyer making do in a prison wasn't the career path he thought he wanted, all his words. My promotion and transfer were all set. Then the news came through he was murdered by a prisoner. I then declined the promotion out of honor for Philip. I decided I was going to earn the role. Which has proved frivolous in the last few years." "I'm surprised to hear this now." "There was no point talking about it. The fact is I chose to come to Underline. And I'm keeping my promise to Philip." "What was that?" "To keep fighting." "Of course.." Adena turned toward the door as Julia stood up and said "I don't feel to crash hot.." Adena turned around as Julia was walking toward her. "Governor, maybe you should sit.." Adena held Julia up as she said "Chest pain.." Adena helped Julia over to a chair and rushed over to the door and no one was there. Adena grabbed her radio and said "Sierra 8 calling medical I need immediate assistance in the governor's office, I think the governor's having a heart attack.. get an ambulance now..!" "copy that sierra 8 on our way." Adena looked at Julia and said "Miles, listen to me, do you have any aspirin?" Julia shook her head. "No.. I don't.. never kept it on me.." "How long have you been feeling like this?" "A few hours.. I started early.. Thought it would pass." Adena stood up and went over to the phone. "Get me Hampton." "speaking." "Mr Hampton I need you to come in right away. Our governor has taken ill. She's in a bad way right now. medical help is on the way." Hampton agreed to come in as Adena made another call. "Reception.." "There's an ambulance on the way make sure they get in with no delay, its for the governor. And gather the staff for a meeting in an hour." Adena put the phone down and went over to Julia and sat with her telling her to stay awake. "Look at me Julia. You need to stay awake. Don't let the pain take you.." Julia laughed and said "I reckon it should.. I knew this job was going to get me one day.. I should just let it.." "Don't talk like that..Save your energy." Minutes later the paramedics arrived with staff from medical. The doctor from medical confirming the worse. "Call the hospital, tell them to prep an immediate cardiac patient, this can't wait." as Hampton rushed into the room from the carpark and he was still on the phone. He said "I just called the hospital. They said clear path all the way." "good, no time to waste. We need to go.", they put Julia onto the gurney and left the room, with the door closing behind them. Hampton looked at Adena and said "I guess we will have to talk with the guards." "That's not up to me sir. That's up to the deputy governor. I am not deputy.." Hampton looked at Adena and said "You could've been.. Why did you decline?" "It didn't seem right taking over the position of a murdered deputy. And beside, I owed it to him to earn it." "I'll make you a deal. The board has wanted someone strong and in charge for years. I promote you to acting governor during the meeting, take everyone off guard. Including the 2IC and Jensen. I promise extra guards, and to let you deal with officers and prisoners as you see fit." Adena smirked and said 'They won't know what hit them." "Just act surprised when I say it. don't let anything slip. The report of Miles will be filed, but it wont come from you, it'll be with medical." Adena nodded and said "And now?" "go back to duties, I'll take care of things from here." Adena nodded again and left the room, going to the staffroom where they were talking about what happened. "I've never seen someone look so ill." "How bad was she?" "Overheard someone say immediate surgery.. must be bad.." Adena then said "Pity how none of you asked her if she was feeling okay." "Hey she looked ill, she didn't look like she was having a heart attack.." "heart attacks can come on quickly.." "how long due you reckon she'll be out for?" "depends on surgery and how she recovers. Could take 6 months, could take a year.." said Ferguson. Jensen was drinking a coffee and said "Who's in the office now?" "Hampton." "Of course.." Ferguson sat down and Jensen said "What happens now? I haven't been in a situation like this." Ferguson said "Normally the deputy becomes acting governor. I don't know in this situation how it will play out. You only got promoted to deputy yourself 3 years ago. There aren't many other officers with the seniority." as Diane's radio went off "Officer Miles please bring everyone to the governor's office. Those who are available please." "On it governor." Diane stood up and so did everyone else and they walked solemnly into the governors office, opened the door to see that Hampton was on the phone with the hospital. The door was closed quietly as Hampton finished his call. "That was the hospital yeah?" said Jackie. Hampton nodded and said "Julia's been taken straight to surgery. And the news is she's critical. She's undergoing quadruple bypass surgery." "Oh hell." said Diane. "Julia will be out for awhile, while she recovers." "how long could that be?" "Depends. could be 3-6 months. Could be a year." "If she recovers.." said Jackie. "Shut up Jackie.." said Diane. Hampton then said "This is a situation I wish I didn't have to perform. But normally the deputy governor would become acting governor, and the 2IC would become acting deputy. But Mr Jensen I expect you to understand I need an officer with more years of experience." Hampton looked at Adena and said "In this world, life can be unfair, but I want everyone to know this was an immediate decision when I contacted the board. They would like Officer Ferguson to assume the role of acting governor." Everyone turned as Adena said "I'll do my best sir. Thank you.." "I trust you will Ferguson. Now.. Jensen will remain as your deputy, and the board would like full cooperation from everyone. Make this as smooth as possible." Hampton stood up and walked over to both Miles sisters and said "I'm sorry, but you were considered, but at this time I think you need the distraction of work, then the governorship." "Not for Jackie.." said Simmons. "She wont receive a governorship.. ever. She still has the contempt of court and assault charge on her wrap sheet." Jackie looked at Simmons and said "I'll show you.." "Ah.. No you won't, Miles." said Hampton. "Stay back after this." Jackie raised her arms and then sulked. Hampton then said "Any requests are to be made to the acting governor, and they will be passed on to the department. I'm sure what you have are good ideas. Now get back to work." as everyone left Adena picked up the governors jacket off the floor and handed it to Diane. "May aid her recovery. She has something to aim for." Diane nodded and left holding the jacket. Adena sat down in the governor's chair as Hampton stood behind a nervous Jackie. "You are aware Jackie, that with a criminal record becoming governor of a prison is impossible." "The courts dropped the assault charge. I appealed that to have it removed from record." "Funny thing about courts. The paperwork was never signed. The charge is on your file as clear as day." "What do you want me to do? I can't do another stint in here. Not again.." "You wouldn't last 10 minutes if they brought you in again." "Is that a threat Governor?" "No a fact." Hampton then said "If and when the time is right, you'll leave here alright." "I am not going to be intimidated. The only way they are getting rid of me, is feet first." "Which will be soon if you don't take your medication." "Look, I am alright. I haven't had an attack in months." Adena rolled her eyes and said "Fine, if you don't take it, then I have no choice but to suspend you if you don't. Playing around like this, will kill you one day." "Like hell." "I'm no neurologist, but what happens if you have an attack and you're alone? Near stairs?" Adena opened the draw and pulled out a folder. "Remember this? This file is our evidence. Your own medical negligence." Jackie stunned said "How did you know that was there?" "Get serious. Everyone did. You signed it remember? The day you were released from here. You signed it without reading it." "What did I sign?" "A waiver. If you receive a brain injury from your epilepsy at work, we are legally not responsible for ongoing medical treatment." Jackie stunned again said "So blackmail is it?" "No. Effective management of an ongoing condition. You have been told and won't be told again, that you will be radioed in for medication, and you will take it. In view of medical staff. If not, you will be suspended and placed into clean up crew after hours." "You wouldn't?" "Try me Miles. Try me." Jackie stood up and said "Fine. If its the only way to keep my job, then fine." Jackie stood up and left the room. Adena smiled and said "As of now.. It's done my way." "Of course." "Another thing. I want 3 guard transfers. We've been understaffed for the last 4 years and this Hammer and Wilson business out of the way, it can happen." "where do you want the guards from?" "Highmore can spare a few. Grudge Road has some." "Joan wouldn't be too please you'd want to poach her guards." "Joan's one of the best.." "She's also very ill, remember. Meg is making the decisions. Joan's putting on a brave face.." Hampton stood up and said "I guess this is where I leave. Oh you'll also need this.." Hampton grabbed out of his pocket the new name badge that said Adena's name and the title acting governor but to Adena this was something she dreamed of for a long time. "I don't think the women will like this.." said Diane. "Oh who cares. they need some discipline. I think thats why Adena got the job. She tough on these ladies. but she knows what she's doing." said Simmons. "Funny though. I thought you would've jumped at the chance, Jenno." "Me? I'm happy as deputy. I have no qualms or interests in becoming governor. In fact I think its a dumb idea. Ferguson will get this place running like it should." as Adena swapped over jackets, she made her way to the foyer and whistled to grab their attention. "Ladies, quieten down. I have news.. Governor Miles suffered a massive heart attack earlier this morning, she's still in surgery having bypass and will be off for a long time. During a meeting with the board this morning, the board have assigned me to the role of acting governor. And I warn you now. Any funny business and you will be punished and dealt with. I plan to make things as smooth as possible until the governor returns. But as of now I, Adena Ferguson am the governor of this prison."

Season 11 ep 7
As Ferguson was working in the office she was listening to the radio chatter of the guards, when she heard a knock on the door. "Come in." she said. "Governor, Joan Kirkpatrick is here." "Let her in then." Greg let Joan in and her deputy as well. "That will be all Greg. Thank you." Greg nodded and left the room closing the door behind him. "I guess this isn't a social visit then." said Joan. "I have a proposal. The board has given me a directive, and that's to see this prison runs smoothly. I intend of being the interim governor this prison never had." "You do understand Adena, that I make the decisions regarding my prison. I don't know why you requested my presence." "Highmore's security is the stuff of legend and I'd like to transfer three of those guards to here. We've been understaffed for the last 4 years, so much so many staff here have done 20 back-to-back shifts and many of the guards are often found sleeping in the staffroom." "I understand that predicament. But I can't spare anyone. I'm sorry." Adena then said "I have the perfect solution then." Joan raised an eyebrow and said "What's that?" "I transfer one of mine. I have contacts back in Blackmont Prison. I can use for the transfers, it's time this prison learned the meaning of discipline and hardworking. It's going to start with respect for the guards." "I think that's a wonderful idea. Any news of Julia?" "Surgery was successful, but she hasn't woken up yet. Normal for someone who had quadruple bypass. I just hope for her sake, she pulls through." Joan then said "Indeed." Ferguson reached into the draw and put a folder on the table. "This is the guard I will transfer to you guys. As acting governor.." "You can do whatever you want as acting governor." said Meg. "It's what I do.. Joan here is terribly ill, but refuses to stand down. I've taken on the responsibility." "I see.. But I'm sure we're all aware of your duties Mrs Morris and I respect that. I am aware of mine." Joan was reading the file and said "You want to send me Jackie Miles? You got to be kidding." "No, of course not. I believe that Jackie would benefit from a different prison." "I'm sure, but Highmore isn't for the faint of heart." said Meg. "I know. Highmore is Maximum Security, Underline is high security." "Well of course, this puts added pressure on other staff. Are you sure you can get her to go on this transfer?" "She'll go whether she wants to or not. It's time my guards realise no family favours while I'm in charge. I'll get her there." Joan stood up and smiled and said "Alright. First sign of trouble and I send her back." "Of course.." Meg stood up as well, as Joan said "We must get going. Get back to the prison. We'll catch up later." Joan walked out of the room and Meg said "I trust this won't be the last time we meet while you are in charge. This will be a great relationship for anyone involved." "It will be." Meg nodded and left with Joan, helping out of the office. Adena then walked out into the corridor and grabbed a piece of paper, it was the new rules. Adena put the rules on the notice board and gathered everyone together and said "While I am in charge, there will be new implementation of rules. Including two musters. One in the morning and one at 12pm, and the regular one before you go to bed. Bed has been changed from 8pm to 6:30pm. Wake up is at 5am. Visits will be restricted to 5 minutes and an officer will be present during every visit, phone calls will no longer be allowed. And recreation and study time is from 1:45pm til 3pm. Work period will be from 9am to 1:30pm. No exceptions, everyone is expected to be at work, if you are ill you go to medical first thing, no fart arsing around. This is a prison and you are here for one reason, to pay your debt to society. If you wish to speak with me, you will do so through the proper channels. If anyone makes trouble I'll have no hassle into sending you to another prison. Underline is no longer going to be a cosy place for you to chat and make deals. From now on, you will be the prisoners society sees you as." Adena looked at the other officers and prisoners and said "If you have any grievances, speak up.." no one talked as Adena said "I thought so. Spineless wimps.." Adena walked away and around to the phone cue, where Jackie was standing on guard. "Officer Miles.." "Governor, don't you think you're taking this too far? You've only been in charge of a day.. And you're treating it like Julia won't be back." "The directive of the board was made clear to me. If you bothered to read it sometime, Julia signed off on the directive when she became governor. If the governor takes ill and is out of action for more then two weeks and they return, the acting governor will either continue in the role until the other officer is ready to return or the acting governor decides to hand the role back." "These rules are insane. Are you trying to cause a riot?" "Among the prisoners? Their here for a reason. Jackie as I said.." Jackie was about to walk away when Adena said "By the way..You may be getting transferred.." "Me? You can't do that.." "I can do whatever I like." "You can, but you can't transfer me..I swear if you do I'll hurt you again.. This time I won't regret it." "Are you threatening me, Officer Miles.." "Yes.. Yes I am." "Because if you are. You aren't just threatening me anymore, you are threatening me, this prison, the prisoners and my staff. If you threaten me again, I'll transfer you so fast you wont know what timezone you're in!" Adena walked away as Jackie stood there and said under her breath. "vindictive bitch.." walking away herself, as she made her way to the staff room, Greg was standing there and said "You look like something the cat dragged in.." "You've heard. Ferguson is letting this power go to her head.." "I don't think so. She's going what Julia should've done years ago. implement changes." Jackie's phone started ringing in her locker and she answered it. "Diane, how is she? That's great news. Of course.. thank you.." Jackie hung up and said "Julia's awake. Thank god. Still got the tube in, but she's awake at least." Adena received the same phone call and said "Tell her I send my best. Alright thank you.", Adena hung up the phone and it rung again. "Ferguson." "I hear that you are looking for transfers." "Thought I could trust you Damien." "I'm sending three. Mitch, Douglas and Simpson. Our best. We have many to spare here up in Queensland." "Thank you Damien, this means alot." "Just don't blow this by letting the power go to your head. You served as deputy remember, than you resigned from being deputy to being a senior officer again." "I know.." "I guess you have it all planned then.." Adena continued as Jackie was standing on duty. "Jensen what do you think of these new rules?" "The same as you. it's rotten, but Ferguson is right, prisoners are here to serve their time.. Nothing more, nothing less. Ever since I took over as deputy, things have been down in the dumps." "This will lower them more. Ferguson got handed full reigns, the department went over your head and Julia's." "You're fighting a losing battle." as Ferguson was walking over she was walking over with a file and said "Officer Miles, my office." "You could've saved the trip and radioed me to your office." "Don't' be so smug. move it." as Greg walked over he said "What's that all about?" "I dunno, but I don't like it.." as Jackie and Adena made it to the governor's office, a box full of stuff was one the side desk, Jackie said "What is it governor." Adena reached into the desk draw and plopped a file on the desk. "Your transfer came through. You're going to Highmore." Jackie's jaw dropped and said "You can't do that.." "I can do, whatever I like." "I know we don't get along but Highmore is hours away from here." "And it's also one of the best prisons in the country. The deputy governor of Highmore declined my offer of transferring guards here, so I got some in from Blackmont." "You're sending me to Highmore.." "You should be grateful. With your record, they wouldn't have taken you.." "What made them change their mind?" "Call it an education. A new chance to learn." "Will I be able to return to Underline, I love it here.." "That's up to Julia. When she returns to duty." "That could be months. This isn't fair.." "Tough. Life isn't fair." Jackie looked at the box as Adena said "Oh and by the way.. You were set up all those years ago.." Adena said with a chuckle Jackie turned around and said "I know.. You almost ruined my career." 'But you survived. You always land back on your feet." "Next time I won't be so lucky. 6 months is better than 20 years. And I would do it all again if I had to.." Adena smugly replying.. "Another threat.. Maybe I should have you transferred. to a court room." "You wouldn't do that?" "Try me.." Jackie picked up the box of things and said "You won't win.." "I already have. Again." Jackie opened the door and walked out a slow walk, with Adena lighting a victory smoke. Jackie got into reception and was stopped by Jensen. "Jackie what's this?" "I got transferred.. To Highmore.." "Without notice?" "I had notice, the governor just told me.." "Bloody hell." "Oh, by the way 3 new guards are coming from Blackmont. I'm going to Highmore for an education apparently.." "Blackmont? heard that's a nasty piece of work. That prison is so in line, prisoners have nothing.." Jackie nodded and left sadly. A days later, Jackie was talking with Julia. "You look good, but you're not wearing the uniform I'd expect. What happened?" "I got transferred to Highmore. Ferguson;s idea of an 'education'." "Ferguson is the governor?" "Yes.. the department made that decision. Went over Jensen's head.." "Jensen himself was only promoted to deputy a few years prior, Adena was deputy at Blackmont for about 3 years. Stepped down when the deputy returned from sick leave, fighting cancer." "And,you're okay with this?" "I couldn't care less." "You know she took me out of the picture to run the prison without a hitch.." "I know. Other officers have come to see me and I like those measures she has put into place. I do. We were understaffed for years and whatever happens now Ferguson knows what to do.." Jackie looked at Julia and said "I thought this was all over. Ferguson grinned like a cat when Hampton said that she was taking over as acting governor, I think she had a chat with him before that meeting I really do." "I don't think so, after the ambulance people took me away, she was talking with Hampton about the deputy governor.." Julia was lying of course. "Oh please, the only thing we know about Adena is that she worked at Blackmont served as acting deputy, had a relationship with a female guard mourned her loss and worked alongside Hammer Brennan. And was handed Phil's deputy-ship when he wanted to resign.." "Enough, Jackie please. I don't want to hear it anymore. Adena's a good officer. Shame you can't see that.."

Season 11 ep 8
As Ferguson was reading files in her office as a knock on the door happened, and Jensen came in and said "Governor, we have trouble.." said Jensen. "What type of trouble?" "Prisoners have started a fire in the H block storeroom. We've moved them out, but some of them are on the roof." Ferguson stood up and said "Put the entire prison on lockdown. I'm headed for the armory, then going up to the roof." "You're not going to shoot them are you?" "If I have to. Yes.." "Governor, that's insane." Ferguson reached for her radio and said "This is sierra 8 to all units, this is a full lockdown. There are prisoners on the roof, and I am headed toward the armory. All guards are to remain outside when those prisoners come down from the roof." Ferguson clipped her radio back onto her belt and reached for the phone, as the alarm for lockdown sounded. "Hampton. It's me. Send in the Command Guards, we have trouble." "I know.. Command guards and emergency services are on their way. And you have clearance for shoot to kill. Don't mess this up." "Thank you." Ferguson hung up as Jensen said "We already have one governor in hospital, if you go up there and get hurt.." "That's the thing Jensen. I'm a survivor. Being put in hospital isn't a worry for me. Dying hasn't scared me either." Ferguson rushed out of the room, and saw Diane putting prisoners back in their units. "Diane once you're done, get outside." Diane nodded as she locked the cells. Ferguson finally made it to the armory and opened the door and grabbed a rifle. Ferguson's radio went off "Command to sierra 8, Command guards are here and ambulances and firefighters are here as well." "Good, I'm just on my way up there now." Simmons heard the radio call and made his way to the governor. Ferguson made her way to the ladder with Simmons saying "Governor.." "Simmons. Come on then.." Ferguson and Simmons got up onto the roof and saw the prisoners. Ferguson holding her weapon firmly then said "Get back inside all of you." Simmons was on the other side of the governor and said "Do as she says." Ferguson was aiming her weapon and said "I've been given clear orders. You are to get down from the roof, and back to your cells." "No..." "You're going to go down for more crimes. I will shoot you if you don't get off this roof." "There is no way you'd shoot any of us.." "Would you like to find out?" as a prisoner then rushed to Ferguson, Ferguson fired the gun straight at the prisoner and got them in the chest, killing them instantly. Officers on the ground hearing the shots. "Good lord.." said Diane who was standing next to the floor ladder. "Command to all units shots fired I repeat shots have been fired." Simmons responded with "Sierra 9 to all channels, the governor has taken out a prisoner." Ferguson who was kneeling with the rifle said "You want to play anymore games? Get inside." Ferguson fired a warning shot and the prisoners still didn't move. "What the hell is going on up there?" said Diane. Lomax who was standing with Diane said "Warning shots. Hampton issued shoot to kill. My guess one prisoner is already dead. I wouldn't be surprised if Ferguson shot another." Ferguson snapped and said "I can trust you all know where you will end up. I will transfer you all to hell on earth. I am the governor, and you will listen to me. If you do not get off of this roof I will shoot you all." Ferguson fired another warning shot with Simmons saying "You better get off now." Simmons who was holding his radio said "This is sierra 9 to command units, bring in the command guards to the bottom of the roof access ladder." "Copy that sierra 9." the prisoners finally moved to the access ladder as Simmons said to Ferguson "Where do you want them?" "Send them to solitary." "Sierra 9 to command units, prisoners are coming down from the roof, send them to solitary." "Copy that sierra 9." Ferguson stood up and threw the gun to Simmons who caught it. Ferguson walked over to the body and said "What a waste.." Ferguson saw Simmons go down the side roof ladder and Ferguson went over to the roof access ladder, as prisoners were just being taken with the command guards, but one was left behind and they waited for the perfect moment as Ferguson got onto the ladder the prisoner got onto the ladder and said to Ferguson "enjoy the fall." the prisoner jumped from the ladder and pushed the ladder, and Ferguson fell to the ground, screaming. Simmons climbed down from the roof and handed the rifles back to the armory guards. "There's a body on the roof." "Where's Ferguson?" "I dunno. I think she must've went through the roof access." Hampton walked over and said to the command "get the body off the roof. and search for Ferguson.." Hampton turned to Jensen and said "Until Ferguson is found you're acting governor." "Oh.." Hampton said "I'll join the search to. Radio it in." Jensen nodded and said "This is sierra 4 to all units including emergency units, governor Ferguson has gone missing, the governor may be missing or hurt. As of this moment the deputy is now the acting governor." Jensen put his radio back and said "I knew this would happen.. She should've just shot all of them.." "She'll deal with them, the lot of them.." "I know.." Diane then said "We'll search the place. The fire is out, but H blocks air vents are wrecked after that.." "Send them to b block isolation. it's the only place with enough room." "But you know what it is.." "I know its the suicide isolation block. I don't give a shit at this moment. Move them there and cordon off H block until further notice." Simmons was making his way into the area where the prisoners got onto the roof, with Hampton following him. Simmons and Hampton made their way to the room with the access to the roof, and looked around. "Simmons.." said Hampton. "What?" Simmons turned around to see Ferguson laid out of the floor. "Don't touch her.. don't move her.." Simmons reached for his radio and said "Sierra 9 to emergency units, requesting immediate assistance in the roof access room, we've found Ferguson, she's in a bad way.." "on our way." Simmons put his radio down and said "The ladders down. I assume a prisoner was waiting, pushed and Ferguson had a fall." Hampton felt for a pulse on Ferguson's neck and said "There's a pulse. She's alive." "Thank god." "Why don't we just drag her out?" "she could have neck injuries. We can't risk it." as rescue workers made their way to the roof access room. "He's right. we can't move her until we know what's going on.." "You can see the ladder..she was pushed off." one of the rescuers said "We need the Jordan frame, and a crane, there is no way our equipment can fit in here." Hampton was holding Ferguson's hand and said "This may be Ferguson's end game. I dunno what rung she was on, but ladder falls are deadly.." as the rescuers called in for the spine frame and crane, guards radio chatter went quiet as some of them were still standing outside. Ferguson was stabilized and put onto the spine board the doctor that was with them said "Ferguson, has been sedated for her own good. We'll get her out. She'll be in good hands when she gets to hospital." the rescuers then hooked Ferguson to the crane which lifted her up to the roof, and then to the ground. Diane and the guards who were outside stunned and shocked watching their governor be placed into the back of the ambulance. Hampton and Simmons making their way outside, to see Diane standing there stunned. "What the hell happened? a rescue crane? Adena.." "Looks like a case of attempted murder." said Simmons who then added "One of the prisoners from the roof must've waited and pushed her off. She's sedated. We don't know how bad her injuries are." Hampton's phone then rang. "Hampton.. What? How bad is she? This is the last thing I needed to hear, yes I'll let him know.." Hampton hung up and called over Greg. "What's happened?" "Greg, Jackie's been hurt at work. One of the guards broke her jaw and eye socket and a few busted ribs, she's in hospital.." "What the hell? why?" "The guards at Highmore hated her attitude for the last couple of weeks, and they showed her how they did things at Highmore." "Surely thats not right.." "I've had reports on her behaviour Greg.. Greg she's not the easiest person to get along with. Highmore guards are some of the toughest in the business. Its why the guards are so close, they work in tight nit units. Jackie being transferred from here made it more hard for her. First of all the governor didn't appreciate the fact that she had a record.." "One day that's going to be out of everyone's minds.." Hampton then said "Enough, alright, she's hurt, go to her or whatever you do.." Greg then said "We're understaffed." "No, we aren't you can go. I have to see Ferguson when she wakes up.." said Jensen. Greg nodded and left as Hampton left as well. A few hours later, Jensen was sitting in hospital with Ferguson who was just coming out of sedation. The doctor was standing there as well. "Who are you?" "I'm the acting governor of Underline Prison, Adena is the governor. Whatever you say you can say in front of me." "All I can say is I am surprised that you are alive. The ladder fall alone should've killed you." Ferguson then said "It wasn't an accident." "We know. We were told." "What's the damage?" "We're awaiting test results. but the first results came back inconclusive. You will remain in traction until we see fit to get you into a soft brace." Ferguson sighed and said "How did you get me out of there?" "The roof access. a Jordan frame and crane." "Oh joyous.. At least I was out to that.." "Scared of heights?" "Wasn't the first time." the doctor walked back in and said "You should be getting some rest Ms Ferguson." "Rest..Sure.." "Until I personally know you have no spinal injury, I'll hold off on a CPM machine.." "A what?" "continuous passive motion machine. It helps those who've had knee injuries or leg injuries to keep muscles from locking up." "I can move my arms, what does that prove?" "That you haven't damaged a nerve in your torso." Ferguson rolled her eyes as the doctor said to Jensen "10 more minutes, that's it.." Jensen nodded and said "I thought I should let you know.." "know what?" "After you were carted away. Hampton got a call. From Highmore.." "Oh yeah, what about?" Jensen said "Jackie.. she got attacked. the guards showed her a lesson in humility. Broke her ribs, jaw and eye socket. She's in recovery now.." "My god.." Jensen stood up and went over to Ferguson and said "I think its time you ended this experiment with Jackie. For your sake." Jensen walked away, as the doctor came back in and said "It is good news." "More?" "The MRI of your neck shows no sign of fracture. The x-rays are clear as well. But it is important to keep you in traction, as you are aware of muscle damage, bruises and some stiffness, it can lead to more serious symptoms.. I'll get a nurse to put the CPM machine on your legs. Prevents muscle lock up and it'll be easier when you do get out of bed. But the hard collar will stay for now." "Doc.. How lucky.. Am I? I mean to survive something like this?" the doctor walking over to Ferguson said "Extremely. The ladder you fell off of, is what the height of a 2nd story window is. 8 metres is very far.. Normally the people who are brought in, are dead or near death. The thing that kills them is a the force they hit the ground. Blunt force trauma. Head injuries, that sort of thing. All the tests we done cleared you of any broken bones. Which amazes even me.." "I'm a survivor." "Yes, you are. Now get some rest."

Season 11 ep 9
As Jensen was sitting in the office he was talking with the three guards that had come from Blackmont and they ended up talking about Adena. "Can I ask, was Adena always this ambitious?" "You know what Adena's nickname was at Blackmont?" "What?" "The Bear." "Why?" Douglas sighed and said "Adena got that nickname after a couple of riots where she was taken hostage. Blackmont's regulations allowed for a prison guard to wrestle out of the hold, and Adena did that and disarmed the prisoner. But under the guise of regulation, defended herself and grabbed a prisoner by the neck and slammed them into the ground. The prisoner had no chance and suffered brain damage." "Jesus.." "We did that at Blackmont. Maximum security, something is bound to happen. Unfortunately, this happened to another 3 prisoners. One ended up in a wheelchair and the other two ended up dying from their injuries 20 years later." "Was it ever investigated?" "What was the point? Those days there were no cameras in hallways, and the board would've been on her side anyway as Adena brought in many regulations, including that one about family members behind bars, and a guard having to leave the premises. Adena did things by the book." "Adena was one of the youngest at Blackmont. When she started she was 19. And in 3 years she was promoted to senior officer." "Wow, that's pretty young.." "Back then, the younger the better. No one messed with Adena." Mitch then said "Her persona changed when she had a massive falling out with her girlfriend though, I did notice that.." Jensen looked interested and said "I heard something about that. How in love were they?" "Adena and the officer, her name was Linda, were together for 17 years. They worked together and they cared for each other, they had planned to go over to the states and get married. The entire prison knew they were together, we didn't care either did the prisoners.." "What happened?" "Stories changed over the years, but I remember sitting in the office one day and Linda came in crying and Adena followed suit, not crying but furious. I never got the reason off of Linda.. but Adena said she found Linda in bed with someone.. Adena ended it there and then. I tried to calm Adena down, but I got a gob full. Linda resigned and left the prison." "When did this Linda, come into the prison?" "A week later.. She was arrested on drug charges and remanded in custody.." "Linda and Adena were allowed to have a conversation in a room, back then you were allowed to do that. They were having a civil discussion until Linda brought up why Linda got brought in. Linda admitted to selling drugs while she worked at Blackmont. Adena snapped and got violent and threw Linda to the wall and broke her nose. Adena stormed out of the room and left Linda there. I walked in and helped Linda to medical. Nothing you can do for a broken nose anyway. I think it was until then Linda realised she had no one. Linda's friends abandoned her when she got charged and sent to Blackmont." "Linda lasted a month, before it got to her. She wasn't used to being yelled at, every time she tried to talk to Adena, Adena would ignore her and walk past. Linda committed suicide that night, she overdosed on drugs in her cell. In the morning during the count, Adena was the one of found her. Called the code black" Jensen rubbed his head and said "That's a lot.." "Adena wasn't made out of steel. After the police took the body away, Adena broke down in the staffroom." A flashback showed Adena, mourning the loss of Linda and said "This. This will change me, for the better. I'm sorry Linda.." "Adena was then working by the book, but bent the rules a little. We couldn't stop her.." Jensen said "How far did she go?" "She made no secret she wanted to become governor one day. No matter where she was, she was going to make governor. And the thing was, the day one of our officers went on permanent sick leave due to cancer, Adena was promoted to acting deputy governor, for 3 years.." "She didn't just become acting deputy governor, she was the deputy governor.." said Douglas. "What caused her to be transferred here?" "You remember your mate, Phil Purcell?" "Yeah, Phil was the deputy governor here.." "He come up to Blackmont searching for guards to come to Underline. He was also searching for a new deputy governor. He knew Adena when she went over to the states for a program, we for 7 months had Texan Prison officers roaming our prison. He offered Adena the role of deputy governor here. She signed on for it, but the thing was she was prepared. She wanted this role as deputy governor for a long time. Unfortunately the news of Phil being killed drove Adena to rip up the contract of promotion. She wanted the transfer, and work the way up to deputy. But obviously here, everything is in stone." "Yeah, strange. It's sad though." said Jensen. "Listen, Adena is a survivor. She's a good officer, even at Blackmont she was a brilliant officer." Jensen rubbed his head and said "I see. Being the acting governor means a lot to her then." "Yeah, more than you know.." Jensen stood up and said "That means a lot. Thanks." "What do you make of Jackie returning to Underline?" "If I know Adena, she's working something out. Because if Jackie returned to Highmore after what she received, they'd be taking her out of course.. But feet first. Those officers at Highmore are highly trained, some are ex-SAS." "It's not looking well at the moment.. I don't know how someone would want to be governor.." The officers stood up and left the room, as Jensen sat back down. At the hospital, the doctor was talking with Adena. "There's someone in the waiting room for you. A Meg Morris." Adena then said "It's alright. Send her in." the doctor nodded and Meg came in and sat next to Adena. "What the hell happened Meg?" "To Jackie?" "No to the man down the road. Of course Jackie." "A case of mistaken identity." "Bullshit. You wear black uniforms, how could it be a case of mistaken identity.. Your inmates wear blue. How the hell.." "You made your decision. Your war with Jackie started the moment you worked at Underline. You transferring her was the icing on the cake. She was attacked accidentally. She was trying to stop a riot. A guard went in full force and hit her accidentally." "I was told a different story. I was told they bashed her?" "No.. it was an accident." "Being hit in the face once is an accident. Twice isn't.." Meg then said "I know what you are thinking.." "I've been in traction for 72 hours, I'm not dumb. I want those transfer papers. I want Jackie re-transferred over to Underline." Meg opened the briefcase and pulled out a piece of paper. "Let me see it." Meg gave the paper to the doctor and the doctor held it above Adena's eyes. Adena read it "Jackie Miles, immediate re-transfer to Underline, pending medical assessment. Miles showed dedication during her two weeks but a recommendation was made to move her back to Underline." Adena then said "Give me a pen." the doctor handed over a pen and Adena said "Hold the board while I sign it." Adena signed the transfer paper and handed the pen back over to the doctor. the doctor moved over to the door and left the room. "The paper will go to the board, and Jackie will be informed." "I'll get into contact when I am back at work. I feel like it should be me who tells her she can come back to Underline." "Well of course. You can inform her, but Hampton will get it and sign off on it." Adena sighed and said "I still can't believe it.." "That you survived?" "Whatever happens I have a reputation. I spent a long time at Blackmont.." "You reckon, that the acting governor has talked to the blokes you brought down from Blackmont?" "No doubt. I don't care." "Of course. We all know your nickname from back then. You didn't have to be at Blackmont to know what it was.." "Yeah, 'The Bear'." "Putting four prisoners in hospital because of riots." "Back then there were no cameras. They were riots and you had to defend yourself." "I hope you know 3 ended up dead from their injuries 20 years later. And the sole survivor, has cognitive difficulties and is wheelchair bound. But has a double doctorate in psychology. Of course you have a reputation, your reputation is seen as someone so intimidating that no one wants to stand up to you. You're the governor now. I'm sure you did the right thing.." "I became the officer I had to." "Oh yeah.. When Linda died. Come on I worked at Blackmont as well for a year. We seen you. 'Become the officer you had to..' oh please. All you did was make life hell for everyone." tears rolled down Adena's cheek. "Linda cheated on me." "I know. You broke when she was brought in for drugs charges." "Stop.." "No. I'm going to say it. You could've given Linda another chance." "Being cheated on once was enough. We were together for 17 years." "Finding her dead in her cell must've hurt.." Adena started crying and the doctor came back into the room and said '"Ms Ferguson, please calm down." Adena in tears said about her career. "Oh my god what have I done.." "Become the officer you had to.." said Meg as the doctor said "I need you to get out." Meg looked at the doctor and said "Gladly.." Meg walked out the door with the doctor trying to calm Adena down. "Adena if you don't stop you could do permanent damage to your neck." Adena didn't and she was still crying. "Adena, listen to me, I'll have to sedate you, there's a reason they call it traction, you're not supposed to move your neck." the doctor called in a nurse to bring in a sedative and sedate Adena, Adena was sedated and the doctor said to the nurse "Get her up to CT.." "She should've been left alone doc, what happened?" "Her visitor told some home truths about her career in corrections. At the point.. They are all the same. Treat each other like crap.." "Ferguson being in here is really putting a dampener on things. She's a survivor for sure. You read the injuries this woman has had and some people would be dead.." "What type of injuries?" "Well beside being stabbed with scissors twice, and being shot in the ribs leaving nothing but a graze wound, plus surviving being lynched. She's a case study that's for sure." "How does one keep going back to a place like that?" "I guess it's something you do." Adena was taken up to CT, and in that time had her hard-collar neck brace replaced with a soft collar and was taken back into her room. The doctor was outside where Jensen came into the hospital and said "Doc, can I see Adena?" "I'm sorry but no. We had to sedate her. She got highly upset after she had a visitor.." "No guesses on who the visitor was.." "Meg Morris." "Yeah thought so. How is Adena?" "Sedated. We had to take her back up to CT.. Scans still show bruising and muscle damage. No spinal damage." Jensen nodded and said "I'm going to have words with Meg.. the stupid cow.." "Officer Jensen.." said the doctor. "We replaced braces as well. from hard to soft collar. Prevent strain." "No more traction?" "Nah no more. If all goes well, she'll be released either tomorrow or the day after." Jensen then said "Would you mind doing me a favour, organise it tomorrow if possible, the psych doctor in the hospital the wheelchair bound one." "Morgan Harmon?" "Ex-Blackmont prisoner. I think to get Adena's spirits up she needs to know that Morgan has done something with her life after living prison." "I can organise that.." said the doctor and Jensen nodded and walked away, as the doctor walked back into Adena's room and waited for her to wake up. Jensen saw Meg and walked up to her and said "What games do you think you're playing?" "Oh that.." "Yeah, that. Meg you know that she could've damaged her neck more.. home truths? I don't think she needed to hear them.." "But her past at Blackmont.." "Oh who cares.. It's the reason she's here in the first place. Ferguson was pulled out of a building that was on fire in one area, in a bad and you want to talk about home truths. I know the truth as well. The Blackmont guards told me everything. Everything you would neglect to tell someone in hospital with a neck injury." Meg stood there and said "I don't have to take this.." "Tell Joan next time she wants to upset someone, tell her to come and do it herself." Jensen then walked away and so did Meg. Adena woke up and felt her head. "Oh my god what happened.." "We had to sedate you. You got highly erratic." Adena said and said "I kinda remember." "Your time at Blackmont is what set you off. You hold it highly in your mind." "Yeah that.." "We had to take you back up to CT, and no new news about your neck, but we did swap over collars, and we got clearance to lift up the bed. If things go alright you could be released in two days. Pending a meeting with the physios to get you out of bed." Adena smiled and said "Thank you. Doctor.."

Season 11 ep 10
As Adena was still in hospital she was asleep and dreaming about her time at Blackmont. "Linda!" said Adena. "I'm home.." Adena put her bag down, and went to the bedroom, and opened the door, to find Linda in bed with another person. "Jesus Christ.." said Adena. "It's not what it looks like.." "It's what it looks like.. You get dressed and get out.." the person nodded and hopped out of bed quickly, Adena made her way to the lounge room and sat down. The person then said "Catch you later." Adena looked up furiously and the person left the room. Linda made her way out of the bedroom and said "I'm sorry.. I wasn't expecting you home so soon.." "I was out having lunch.. I'm due back to work soon. I came home to change shoes..Looks like I have to change something else.." "Adena please.. This was a once off." "Oh, you looked quite cosy. Don't lie to me.. How long?" "3 months.." Adena stood up and said "Are you serious? For three months you've been having an affair? All this time. The gifts and the extra love to me was, what?An apology?" "You're taking this too hard, please calm down.." "Calm down? Calm down? No way.. You've done it.. 17 years. What does that mean to you? We planned to get married to spend the rest of our lives together.." "Planned to Adena. We planned it." Adena sat down as Linda sat down next to her and said "I didn't mean for it to go this far. It just happened. He could offer me more than what you could.." Adena pushed Linda away and said "I don't believe this.. What could he offer that I couldn't?" "More affection.. Love.." Adena stood up and so did Linda. "Then when you finish your shift, you can pack your things and get the fuck out of my house. Being cheated on once is enough for me." Adena walked over to the door, to see Linda crying. "You and me, we're finished. 17 years of love and togetherness. I trusted you.." "Adena, wait…" "I have to be back at work. If you cross me at work, I can't promise I won't smash your face in." Adena left the house and got into the car. Linda was still standing shocked and agreed to herself that it was over. Linda was also on the same shift and had to get to work as well. Adena drove into work and went straight to the staffroom furious. "Bad afternoon?" said Douglas. "You could say that.." as Adena made a coffee, Linda roamed into the staffroom as well with Adena looking at her, and Linda walking into the bathroom through loud audible cries. "Is she ok?'said Douglas.. "Who cares.." said Adena in reply.. Mitch walked in behind holding tissues and said "I have no idea what's going on. She parked in the carpark and started crying.. Do you have any idea why?" "She cheated on me for three months. 17 years together.. All it took was 3 months.." Adena rubbed her eyes as Mitch said "Maybe you shouldn't be at work.." "You shouldn't tell me how to do my job.. I am the acting deputy governor.." "Adena, you know better than all of us, you're not just the acting deputy, you are the deputy governor.." Adena then said "I'm going to take this in my stride.." Adena walked out of the staffroom. Several hours later a meeting was called the governor said "I was just handed the resignation of one of my officers. A relationship breakdown. She thought giving up her career in corrections was the way to go. I had no choice but to accept it.. While I am all for relationships. I don't want you bringing your issues in with you. Alright.." the meeting ended and Adena also finished her shift at the same time. Adena went home to an empty house and a note left on the table. The note said 'I'm sorry for what I did, but I did lie to you. It was more than 3 months. I truly did love you but I had to explore something else, something more. I've packed my things already, it was mostly just clothes.. But if anything is left behind feel free to send it to my parents' house. I'm sorry once more.. Love Linda.' attached to the note was the spare key. Adena walked around the house and went into the kitchen and poured herself a drink, Adena looked over to the TV cabinet and saw a photo of her and Linda the first time they went out, Adena grabbed the photo and looked at it, Adena then threw the photo on the ground, smashing the frame. Adena wiped away tears and sat on the lounge. A week later, Adena was in the staffroom filling out paperwork when Douglas rushed in and said "Adena, you won't believe this.. I just got off the phone with the watchhouse. The cops are bringing in an officer on drug charges.." Adena looked up and said "You're right.. I don't believe..Any idea who?" "Nah none. But apparently the officer was selling drugs while she was here. She admitted everything in court this morning." the governor then walked in and said "Thank you Douglas.." "What it was interesting?" the governor sat down and said "This is about to get personal for you. I need you to maintain a professional stance.." Adena nodded and said "Do you want me to induct her?" "Best let another officer to do that.." Adena stood up and said "Son of a bitch.. It's Linda.." "Well, there goes professionalism." "Screw that. Those women are gonna kill her.." "You don't have vested interest anymore, she refused to be placed into protection. But I can let you two talk.." Adena left the room with the governor saying to Douglas.. "I hope she doesn't do anything stupid.." "Oh who cares.. If the women don't get her, Adena will." Mitch was seen walking with Linda to her cell and Adena said "We need to talk.." "Can it wait Adena?" said Mitch. "It can't. " "Alright fine. Cell 3. I hope you know what you are doing.." "Why do you care?" "I don't." Adena then shoved Linda into her cell and shut the door. Mitch was standing outside the cell. "Drug charges? What the hell? How long have you been dealing?" "You weren't involved. What's the matter." "What the matter is, is that 5 people in here are going to be out for blood when you tell them what your sentence is for. 15 years for trafficking, and 5 on top of that for corruption in a government position.." "I won't be the first bent screw. I won't be the last." Adena grabbed Linda by the shoulders and slammed her up against the wall. "You idiot." "Yeah Bear. I'm the idiot.." "All this time..You used your position to sell drugs. To push them.. Without caring who you hurt.. Did you ever love me?" Linda smiled and said "Of course. I did, to a point.." Adena then said "This isn't over.." Adena opened the cell door and left as Linda realigned her nose. A couple of weeks of trying to talk to Adena, Linda was hurt deeply by this and she still wasn't used to being in prison on the other side. Linda after dinner went back to her cell and decided to end it all, with an overdose, she grabbed the hidden drugs that were in the toilet cistern and shot up in her cell. The following morning Adena was calling the roll and said Linda's name 3 times. "Linda. If you don't get out of that cell I will drag you out of there." "Kinky.." said another prisoner "Shut it." Adena walked over to the door and opened it, before she called for another officer. Mitch walked over to Adena and saw the body on the floor. "Jesus Christ.. Clear everyone out Adena. She's dead.." Adena nodded and with a crack in her voice said "You heard him, move.." they moved as Adena pressed the alarm. A few minutes later Adena came back with another officer and the governor. "She would've had chances as an officer to bring in the drugs. Hid them very well. " "hiding them in the toilet would do it.. Get her out of here." Adena walked away and went into the staffroom. Meg walked into the staffroom as Adena was staring blankly into the void. "Adena, are you alright?" "What's it too you?" "I'm only asking.." Adena looked down and said "It wasn't the first dead body I've seen or the first overdose suicide." "But it was someone you did love.." "It was a lie, Meg.. All those years, she brought in drugs to the prison. Those drugs killed 30 people. Meg I can't go around like that, knowing.." Adena broke down and cried, with Meg holding her. The governor walking in with Simpson, Meg used her free hand to usher them away, Simpson left but the governor said "I'm sorry Adena." Adena looked up and said "I just hope that hurt her. Like all those people she killed. I hope that it was painful." Adena was sent home. Another moment from Blackmont popped up, the riots. "Alright, let go.. You've had your fun.." "No way you're putting me in hospital.." Adena got out of the hold and slammed the prisoners head into the ground and said "Try me." Adena left the prisoner on the ground and yelled out. "Enough of this non-sense. If you don't stop this you will all be in your cells for the next month." Adena then fired a warning shot which stopped the rioters in the process. "Make your way back to your cells and shut up. You're all on report." "What about dumbass on the floor there?" "She'll get help. The rest of you go.." everyone left as Adena held up the prisoner and said "But it won't be from me." dropping the body back on the floor, Adena looked around and saw officers getting back on their feet. "Adena, some of us are hurt, we need attention." "Next time do as I say and be armed. " "Or I could just body slam prisoners into the ground.." "get attention for her.." "I could report you.." "But you won't. You want the deputy ship more than ever. You don't want it the way you think you will." again the memory changing to Phil coming to the prison. "Mr Purcell, how can I help you?" "Hampton is here as well.I have some news for you.." Phil lead them into a room and said "I'm planning to resign from Underline. I wanted to choose the new deputy." "And so you came here." "Being a lawyer I want you to understand, that I want you as the new deputy." "Me?" "Yes. I trust you. If you can trust me with your legal affairs, you can trust me to hand over the deputy governorship." "What made you change your mind about the prison system?" "I'm an ex-lawyer. I can't do the job anymore. I was never up to it." "But you brought in some good measures." "And on my watch was knocked out as an ex-governor was murdered in the yard." Adena nodded and said "Dear lord.." "I became the person I wanted to explore. I think Underline could do it for you." "I'll do it." Adena signed the papers, then the few weeks later Phil's death. "Hampton, I can't go into the job that way.." "You normally would've without question.." Adena held up the paper and ripped up the contract. "Stuff the promotion. I'm going to work my way up to it. I owe Phil that much.." "You owe him nothing.." "In a way I do.." "Fine, you'll be in for a ride then. Phil was respected by those guards. Planned to marry one of them, another guard I think they call Hammer is on the fence again, under investigation for something that happened in Queensland.." as Adena slowly started to wake up she had one more "I will become the officer I need to be. I became the officer I wanted to be." Adena woke up as the doctor was standing taking vital signs. "Afternoon, sleepy.." "How long was I out?" "About 12 hours. We let you sleep because it was the first time you slept in 3 days.." "Yeah.." the doctor smiled and said "I do have someone outside to meet you though. Someone who wants to speak with you. But promise me, don't get frazzled and move around a lot. You're out of traction, and finally upright in a soft brace, but if we have to, we will sedate you again." Adena agreed and the doctor left the room and the person came in. "Been a long time, Officer Ferguson.." "Morgan?" "It is.." Adena remembering what she did.. "Oh my god.. I am sorry.." "Don't do that. Don't say sorry. You were doing your job. If I lived that moment again I would. I wasn't the best person to get along with. I owe you for changing my life, for the better." "Better? I confined you to a wheelchair…" "And that made me see that what you did was for the best." "What are you doing now?" "I work here. I'm a psych. Double doctorate." "But I assumed the worst when you never returned.." "I have memory problems. Still do, the injuries never really fade, but I'd rather be this person than the person I was in prison." "Normally someone would be mad.. Angry.." "I was for about 3 months. But I put my energies into studying, became a doctor." Adena smiled for the first time in days. "Now that's what I want to see a big smile.." "I haven't had much to smile about…" "I know, I read the file.. The Bear survives again.." "I don't think The Bear could survive something like this again." "It takes a lot out of you for sure, but I believe you can return to the job you want." "I'm working that at the moment. I'm acting governor.." "not at the moment.." "Of course.. Not at the moment, my deputy is acting governor. The other governor had heart surgery and is out for about 8 months." Adena sighed and said "Being in here.." "Is draining, but the thing you need to do is return to work, knowing that you have that to go back to. You have the governorship for as long as you have it." Adena smiled and said "I can't wait." Morgan smiled and said "That's the spirit, look I gotta go. Have other appointments. It was good seeing you again." the door opened for Morgan and Morgan left as the doctor came back in and said "There's the spirit I wanted. I think it's time to get you out of bed. Get the blood pumping." the doctor brought in physios  and did physio stuff. "Alright the CPM machine would've helped over the past couple of days, but nothing beats getting out of bed." said the physio. Adena was moving freely, but was minding her neck. "I think that's as free as someone can be." said the other one. For someone who was pulled out of a building a week ago, you have come along very well." Adena smiled and said "Thank you." they put Adena back onto the bed and said "I think we can talk with the doc. Have you released today. Just remember a couple of weeks rest." Adena said "Of course." knowing full well she wasn't going to. A few hours later, the doctor came back around and with charts and papers  and he said "It's all good news. The scans have come back clear, the soreness and stiffness will remain for a couple pf weeks. The brace will need to be on for a few weeks to prevent strain. Only take it off to shower and get dressed." "Good." "Just take it easy." "I have a prison to run. I'll take it easy." "No stopping you lot." "No." Adena signed the release papers, and the doctor said "We washed your uniform for you. That's where we figured you would go." "thank you.." "Just remember, if there is any pain, come in straight away." the doctor left the room and Adena got dressed. Adena left the hospital 10 minutes later and made her way toward the prison. Simmons was in reception helping the receptionist. The security door opened and Adena walked through and said "My passes please." "Adena.. You're back.." "What did you expect. I got released this morning. I took a few hours to myself." "Of course." "You'll go back to 2IC. Jensen in?" "Ah yeah.. I think he's doing muster." "I'll be in my office." Simmons grabbed the phone and called Jensen. "Jensen you won't believe this. Adena has signed in for work.." Adena made it to her office and sat down, then a knock on the door. "Come in.." said Adena, it was Hampton. "I thought so." "You couldn't keep me away." "Welcome back. Are you sure you feel fine?" "I'm not fine, I'm sore." "Of course." Adena looking at the files on the desk said "You know where I am sending those prisoners." Hampton needed as they were brought in. "Oh my god.." "She lived?" "I lived. An according to the doctors I will heal fine. Just so you all know I am doing this all at once. You have all been charged with attempted escape, damage to property and attempted murder time has been added onto your sentence and you will all be transferred today." "Where are we going.." "Up North. To hell on earth." "Oh no.." "Blackmont.." said Adena. "Enjoy." Adena then saw Jensen and he walked into the office and said "Thank god. I don't think I could've done another moment as governor. Why it’s a fought after job I don't know. I'd rather suck chode then do that again." "Back to deputy." Jensen swapped over badges and said "I know it means a lot to some, but to me, no.." Jensen walked out as Adena said "I still need to speak with Jackie.."

Season 11 ep 11
Adena was sitting in her office, and reading reports. Jensen knocked on the door and said "Governor, Jackie Miles is in reception." Adena looked up and said "Good, give her a visitors pass and send her up." "Of course Governor." Jensen opened the door as Adena said "Thank you for holding the fort by the way.." "It's mostly just paperwork and dealing with Hampton. Why some people want the job, I don't know.." the door closed as Adena rubbed her face. A few moments later, Jackie was escorted into the office. Adena looked at Jackie and said "I'm so sorry.." "Don't be. It wasn't your fault.." "I've been told 3 different stories.. Was it a riot and an over zealous guard?" "Yeah it was. It was a riot. You do what you have to.." "I guess you heard about our riot then.." "Yes.. But I don't think that's why I'm here." Adena reached into the draw and pulled out transfer papers, and put them on the desk. "Transfer papers?" "When I heard what happened.. I couldn't live with myself." "So your vendetta ends with me returning to Underline does it?" "It wasn't a vendetta." "Then what was it? A personal attack? You said yourself you set me up for those 6 months in jail. Let alone being attacked.." "I wasn't playing nursemaid for 6 months. I wasn't going to walk around like an idiot and force feed you medication. Which in these reports you still refuse to take." "You said you knew about Hammer." "Hammer was an idiot. He wanted you dead. Not your son. He worked at Blackmont for 3 months, then moved interstate. He discussed you a lot in the staffroom.." "I bet he did. You said you never spoke with him.." "Only to give orders to. I was the deputy governor back then. Brennan moved interstate to Moore Road, we didn't keep in touch." "What did he say about me?" "That you were one of the worst teachers in the entire state. From memory that's what he said." Jackie laughed and said "Yeah sure.. I believe that.. Why I lasted 8 years.." Adena changing the subject said "So do you want to return to Underline?" "I do.. But it wont be under you. As long as you're here I will no work under your rule." "You didn't hear any complaints when you were walking here did you? Since your sister has been recovering, right now we are one of the safest prisons in the country." "I doubt that.. 3 musters? These girls are mad.." "Prisoners are not meant to be pampered. They are here to serve their debt to society. If that means implementing stronger rules, so be it." "Are you insane? I'd rather get rioted on by a group of angry Highmore Prisoners then work here, under you Governor Ferguson." Adena standing up said "Then you've made your choice. Until Julia is fit enough to return to active governorship, or until I hand it back over, I am suspending you from stepping onto the premises. If you attempt to come back the guards will use force to get you off the premises. I tried to make this easy for you. Offer you your job back. Back from just an officer to senior officer. You would've had the promotion, but since we can't agree on anything.." Jackie thinking said "So this wasn't a power game?" "Why the hell would it be?" "Because that's just you." "There's no use.." then a knock on the door. "What?" Jensen opened the door and Joan Kirkpatrick walked in. "Leave us Jensen." Jensen shut the door as Joan said "Any luck.." "What's the point..Talking with Jackie here is like trying to talk to a brick wall." "the enticement of a promotion back to senior officer, doesn't tickle anything?" Adena sat back down and said "I may have spent a week in hospital, but that doesn't make me any worse then everyone in here. Every officer in this prison, spent at least a few days in hospital." "You were the one stupid enough to go down the roof access." Adena chuckled and said "And you were the dumb one for putting yourself behind bars, my doing or not. Jackie this is a good deal here." Joan looked and said "Unless you don't want to work here anymore? What about your husband.." "What about him?" "Wouldn't he like to know that you work here again?" Jackie rolled her eyes as Adena said "Fine.. go back to Highmore, drop dead for all I care. I fucking tried." Jackie got up and said "The immediate transfer back, comes when you get out of that chair. Permanently." "get an attitude adjustment while you're there." said Adena as Jackie walked out. "Why are you still here." "My job may be coming up in a few years?" "And you're thinking of me. congrats. But I have work to do." "I'm ill." "The entire prison board knows that. Meg makes executive decisions. It's why she follows you like a bad smell. Put me on the shortlist, and when you quit I will think about it." Joan stood up and said "Good, at least you're thinking of it. Meg made it clear when she became my deputy, she never wanted that responsibility." "I hate this place sometimes, but right now its home. Like Blackmont was.. There I had to adapt. I became the officer I had to." "You've killed, Adena. You've lost and you've been in some dark places, I don't think we can save you from that." "I don't care anymore. I have nothing to lose. And a person with nothing left to lose, is a person you gotta make feel homey. Otherwise, what's the point." Adena sat down as Joan stood up and left the room. Adena decided to take a walk around the prison, and she decided to put her gloves on as her hands were cold. Adena got up to the higher level of the prison, before out of nowhere she was grabbed from behind and gagged. "Watch her neck, alright.. We don't want to kill her.." "Where are we going?" "To the roof. No one will notice us up there." Adena's cries where muffled as her hands were tied with her own tie. As they made their way onto the roof, the gag was removed as Adena said "Good going.." "We know you have your 3 hours in the boiler room. What do you do in there?" "Sleep. Do some yoga.. That's about it.." "You have a lot to answer for.." "I don't think so.. You see.." "We see alright. You shot one of us a week ago. In cold blood. Jensen was watching.." "I fired warning shots first. Hampton gave me instructions." "Shoot to kill.. Wasn't governor?" one prisoner was getting nervous. "They're gonna notice that we are gone.." "Oh they'll do a search first. Who cares." the head prisoner untied Adena's hands and decided to re-tie the tie and take off Adena's neck brace, Adena let out a little grunt and the prisoner put the brace back on and used the gag to tie her hands.. "For someone wearing a neck brace. I'm amazed the tie fits over it.." "Pity your mates didn't kill me." "That fall should've.. The doctors would've told you. You're a statistic. Not many can say they survived a fall equivalent to falling out a second story window" "I'm a survivor. Always we be." the head prisoner walked over to Adena and said "I bet this makes you feel tough eh.. Being on the roof. This is the exact spot were you shot Terri." "So what? It's my job to stop trouble." Adena looked and said "I don't know why you can hate me for that.." "You Shanghaied 6 prisoners.." "Call us even then.." Adena looked at the prisoner had dropped a pair of handcuffs on the ground and didn't notice. Adena's radio then went off but it wasn't her call sign. "Sierra 9 to sierra 5. I can't seem to find the governor.." the conversation went on. "The governor's in the boiler room. Catching up in a quiet environment I suppose.." "Yeah right.. I'll leave her to it then." "While we're talking have you seen Dominic? Her lawyer's here." the prisoners looked up and said "Shit, we need to go, now.." "What about the governor?" "She'll make her way back down.." as they rushed off, Adena managed to free her hands and reach for the cuffs on the ground, she looked at them and said "No way.." she recognized that the cuffs had gone missing 6 months before, they were another officers. Adena put the cuffs back down, as one of the prisoners rushed back. "What do you want?" "To help you Governor.. they don't know I've come back.. They don't care.." the prisoner helped Adena get up off the floor as Adena said thank you, the prisoner was standing on the roof with Adena, as Adena had managed to pick up the cuffs off the ground. Adena went up behind the prisoner and used the cuffs around her neck. "You think you can get away with that.." struggling to the breathe the prisoner said "They just wanted to scare you.." "Should be fun for you.. Let me tell you something. It'll be the last thing you ever hear. There are no camera's on the roof, and there are no guards on duty outside. When they find your body it'll be too late. Because The Bear is a survivor. I became the officer." "You needed to become.. Please just shut up about that.." Adena released the cuffs from the around the prisoners neck and put one wrist cuff on. "What's that gonna do.." "Oh you'll see." "Planning to frame another officer?" Adena chuckled and said "No.. these cuffs were reported missing 6 months ago. I wouldn't frame an officer for murder. I would suspend them for missing government equipment." Adena took the cuffs off and threw them off the roof. The prisoner turned around and tried to attack Adena, but Adena got the prisoner in a chicken wing, which dislocated the prisoner's shoulder. "Oh sorry.." Adena said sarcastically. Adena moved the prisoner toward the edge of the building. "You're not going to push me off the roof? You're off your rocker.." "This is my revenge. This is what I do to those who cross me. I shot your mate in cold blood. I laid out four prisoners back in Blackmont, three died, one became a double doctorate psych doctor. You'd never understand." "I understand that you are bloody crazy.." "You better bloody believe it." "Oh god." "Happy landings.." said Adena as Adena then pushed the prisoner off the roof and watched as she hit the ground. Adena smiled an evil smile and she backed away, walking back into the back of the boiler room, she took off her gloves and put them back in her pockets. Adena left the boiler room and went to medical. "Governor, never expected you to be back at work so soon.." "You and every other person in this place." Adena sat down on the bed and the doctor had a look at Adena's neck. "This brace is a little redundant." the doctor walked over to the cabinet and got out a different one. "This one here provides a little more support." as Adena was having her neck examined, Diane rushed in and said "Governor.. We have a problem." Adena still laying down said "What type of problem.." "We found a body. A prisoners." "Alright. Sound a code and I'll be out there. Have you called the police yet?" "No not yet.." "Well do that.." Diane rushed out as Adena was helped to an upright position. "That still a bit tender?" "If you don't mind. I spent a week in hospital, 3 in traction.. And the other two learning to walk properly. So yes I am tender, thank you for the concern.." "Governor, if it were up to me I'd still have you in a spinal unit at the hospital." "I was cleared of spinal injury. the neck brace is prevent strain." "I am aware of that governor. But please don't push yourself." Adena got off the bed and said "Don't worry about me.." Adena walked away to outside. Where a group of guards were guarding the body. Adena then said "What happened?" "Take a close look, governor." said Jensen. "The shoulder is deformed, could be from landing that way or someone was on the roof with her.." Jensen then said "I think she was strangled with something I don't know what." "Could she have done it herself?" "If she was on drugs maybe.." Adena knelt down and said "These marks around the neck are strange. But I remember seeing something like this at Blackmont. Prisoners who used to riot and wanted to choke another prisoner, used chain link." Jensen looked down as a guard said "Governor.." Adena was helped up as the officer bagged the handcuffs. "An officers cuffs.." "Did anyone report their cuffs missing?" "6 months ago. someone did.." Adena then said "Everyone, show me your cuffs." everyone did and so did Adena. "So a guard could've done this?" "Either that or they were lying around. This officer will have a lot to answer for. Losing cuffs in the first place.." as the police arrived they took the body away and Lomax said "The coroner will love this." "You think she was pushed?" "could've been. who knows. Is there any surveillance on the roof?" "No, the roof doesn't have anything. the only thing you could get was the footage from when she hit the ground." "That's no use to me. Her organs will be nothing after that fall. That's a hell of a height." Jensen walked over to Adena and whispered into her ear. Adena nodded and said "Get him to my office. He has a lot to answer for.." Lomax said "You wont mind if I tag along." "No.. go right ahead." A few moments later Adena was sitting down in the chair with Lomax standing in the corner and Greg Smith standing in the room. "Greg, 6 months ago you lost your regulation handcuffs, and you ordered a new pair. Every officer gets a set of two. This pair.." Adena held them up. "Were found near the body. With the prisoners DNA all over it. Did you have anything to do with this?" "Of course not governor. I would not jeopardize my career to kill someone. And beside those handcuffs were reported missing, when we had a riot 6 months ago. You were in that riot." "It was a scuffle. Not a riot." "You weren't governor then." "I know that. But you're up on a serious charge anyway, Mr Smith. Losing governor property, even if accidental, means immediate suspension. For 3 months.." "Three? For losing cuffs? You have to be kidding. I had nothing to do with that. I was on rounds when they found the body. Where were you?." "In medical Mr Smith." the door knocked. "What?" the door opened and Douglas came in and said "Governor, they found a suicide note." "Of course they did how convenient." "The letter says that she admits to stealing Greg's cuffs. And wanting to frame him for it." "For what?" Lomax then said "She would've framed you for murder." "Oh please.." the phone then rang. Adena running out of patients answered it. "What? Oh sorry. Yes, of course. very interesting, didn't think someone could do that to themselves.. Thank you. Yep bye." Adena hungup as Lomax said "Well?" "Open and shut detective. Coroner did a once over and checked. Shoulder dislocated when she landed, and other injuries were self inflicted. He did find other marks on her arms, but they were her own, holding her arms tightly." "Excuse me? how do you choke yourself? with a pair of handcuffs?" said Greg. "He said that she had drugs in her system to. She was doped up. Saw no other exit.." "So she jumps off the roof and does it while doped? No one even doped up would do that." "Thank you don't know prison life very well Lomax. After one of our officers died, the prisoners gave up a lot of drugs. They respected Phil, but drugs are always gonna find a way in." Lomax stood up and said "Fair enough. I guess I'll go now." Lomax then said "This is a weird place.." Lomax left as Greg said "So I guess I'm suspended for missing property then?" "Yes, of course it still stands." Greg stood up and said "He's right, this is a strange place. I can take the suspension but that wasn't a suicide, that was a clear murder. One of the prisoners wanted her dead." Greg left, as Adena smiled a big smile. There was no return for Adena, she turned around and poured herself a drink.

Season 11 ep 25
Adena was sitting in her office as Jensen walked in. "Do you ever knock?" "Didn't think I had to. I just want you to know, Adena. There's someone in reception." "And who is it?" "Julia Miles." Adena grinned and said "What's she waiting for? Winter? Send her up." Jensen said through the radio for reception to let Julia up to the office. Adena stood up and walked over to the window. "I've worked hard during these months. Tried to make this dump bearable for the staff. What do I get instead, 3 suicides, a murder and a neck injury.." "Funny that.. I never did believe what happened on that roof was a suicide. And Greg didn't think so either when he returned to work." "His cuffs were reported missing 8 months ago. 8 months ago I was not the governor. I was on medical leave. For the bullet they found lodged in my ribs." "I thought you weren't injured in the hostage situation?" "I have a graze wound, but nothing else to complain about. Until I felt some strange sensation one night. It felt like I broke my rib, but I went to hospital that night, and they x-rayed me.. The next thing I know I was told I needed immediate surgery to remove the bullet. Lucky it was lodged in between ribs and didn't hit my lung or heart." "So that's why you took leave. And returned to work 3 weeks later.." "Yes.. I was stuck at home, hearing my thoughts and hearing the noise of that gun." "What happened to the house?" "The knocked it down and built another house. The street got back to normal, but I never forgot that night. Ever.." "Either did the officers, or the prisoners." "I refuse to talk about it still. It just makes me so angry.." Adena was looking into the compound and it was raining, but officers where still roaming the exercise period. "I've been called a lot of things in my career, but being nicknamed 'The Bear' was a highlight of a dismal time at Blackmont.." "Then why did you stay?" "I served as deputy governor. I worked alongside a real governor." "You admitted you used self defence as an excuse. Adena, 3 out of those 4 died 20 years later, of their injuries.. That makes you a killer" "And the other one has a double doctorate in psychology.. Who I talked with when I was in hospital." Adena held out her phone and said "This is an interview she did a couple of weeks ago." Adena pressed play and the video started. "I don't think what she did was wrong. I believe she had every right to defend herself. It was a prison and back then, no one made a big deal of self defence. It was a riot she had a knife held to her throat. I was the one holding it to her throat. She got out of the grip and pinned me to a wall. I attacked her again and she threw me to the floor, I hit my head and all I remember was walking up in the prison hospital, unable to move my legs and barely talking straight." "Were you angry?" "At the injuries? No. It opened my eyes. I was a real shit to do what I did. I hate no right to harm somebody and I was in prison for a long time. I learned a lesson. In humility." "So you hold no ill ill to the officer they nicknamed 'The Bear'?" "None. She saved me from myself. Had I kept going the way I did. I would have killed someone. I owe her everything." the video finished and Adena put the phone in her pocket. "That video is proof you saved someone from themselves.. But can you explain why you magically became the governor? I know that reason. Because you went over our heads. Because you were on the board you used your position on it to exploit the fact I was barely 3 years into the role of deputy governor. But you know who had the most experience here in this prison. Diane did." "Diane was in no place to take on such a role. After all it would've been a distraction to her job worrying about her sister." "You wanted it to be you, because you worked in the service for 30 something years. You used that.. Didn't you?" "And what if I did." "You don't see anything wrong with this?" "Not really." Jensen stood in front of Adena and said "So you shot down a prisoner months ago, to prove a point?" "To prove that I wasn't going to be pushed around. We have an armory for a reason.." "Yeah for emergencies." "Being on the roof isn't an emergency to you? attempted escape on the prison roof isn't a big deal to you?" "The only place they would've went is down." "Remember they had weapons." "I wasn't with you that day on the roof. Simmons was." "Simmons knew what he was in for when I went to the roof. You all did. He went up to the roof with me." "So hurting prisoners is something you like doing?" "If you're still talking about the people at Blackmont. They put it on themselves when they rioted. Back then the board had no qualms with using brute force. And if my actions turned 3 of them into permanent vegetables who died 20 years after their injuries were inflicted I don't care about those 3 anymore, I never thought of them again.. The other one is helping people in a worse position then me, then so be it. I admit I've hurt a lot of people, nothing hurt more than finding my ex girlfriend dead in her cell. Weeks after she resigned from Blackmont and our breakup. Nothing hurt more then losing that, that one bit of love I shared. I had relationships before, but for 17 years, Linda was my world. Working in the same place, living and talking. It's what we did." thunder then rolled in as Adena said "When she was brought in I've never felt so angry. She used every single one of us guards. It wasn't until they cleaned out her cell, they found her letter. She committed suicide because she couldn't handle being the 'bad guy' in a prison system.. Prisoners wanted her dead, so did the officers. Her only way was out.. they gave me the letter to finish reading." Adena turned around and said "That letter blamed me for breaking up with her. She claimed she lost everything when she started her relationship with me. The only thing she lost was her sense of duty. She did it out of spite. Too make sure we all felt bad for it. I did for a while, but mourned and moved on. I struggled to find happiness like that again.. What do you say about 17 years.." "More than I can say for sure.." Adena walked back over to her desk and said "That's why I like to do what I do. Serving the community by keeping prisoners off of the streets. dangerous prisoners at that. Some of them are nothing but scum.." "Could you put yourself in that category? You've admitted to a lot of things.. If you were to be investigated by the department..." "They would find nothing. Things were very different back then. very different. The only thing that would be of interest is my demotion from deputy to senior officer. They found someone better and I was the scape goat. I was bitter of course, but I got over it.." "You're so modest.." Adena stood up and walked over to Jensen who said "Pity they didn't finish you off when they pushed you off that ladder. Would of saved us all the trouble.." Adena furious, grabbed Jensen by the throat and pinned him to the wall and said "I appreciate your concern.. I'm not afraid to crush your larynx if you're not careful." "Yeah, and what are you gonna do? Transfer me.." Jensen struggling to breathe as Adena said "No I'm not gonna transfer you, but I could snap your neck right here. That's what that did to me, and if you push me.. I will snap it.." the door opened as Julia quickly closed the door and said "Let him go Adena." Adena who still had a firm grip around Jensen's throat said "I am a survivor.. Nothing is going to stop that.. You tell everyone Adena will not be bullied out of Underline, and that no member of staff will force me to either. tell them that." "Let him go." Adena released the grip and let Jensen go who dropped on the floor and was struggling to breathe. Julia who knelt beside him said "Get yourself to the staffroom or a quiet room.. If you find the quiet room pass out in there." "But what about?" "Just go.. Don't mention this to anyone.." Jensen nodded and made his way out of the room, as Adena was standing up. "Well Adena? Were you going to snap his neck?" "How much of that did you hear?" "Half of the conversation... It doesn't take me all day to walk from reception to my office.." Adena rubbed her head and said "I guess your happy to be back.." "I can't say I am.. These new regulations you have in place, why 3 musters?" "Prevent escape, you know that." "I know more then anyone what this prison is like. We have had in our history only 3 successful escapes." "An escape is still an escape.." "I know that.. And I know why you became the governor. Too prove that you had the guts to run a prison.." "I had a real governor, back at Blackmont. A real warrior." "Pity I can't be the Blackmont governor then. You're not at Blackmont anymore Adena. You're at Underline, and in the several months you were in charge, I've read every single report. All good. Hampton seems to think so anyway.. The thing that gets me is the junkie suicide, strangling herself with a pair of officers cuffs." "She was a junkie. She did it to herself." Julia said "I want you to know, that I know.. I got a report off of medical that day, they swapped over neck braces for you.. The doctor wrote down he found a bruise on your neck. He didn't say anything to you because you would've said it was from the brace.." "Are you blackmailing me Julia?" "Just tell me.. You did it because you needed to? Because the only place in this prison that does have cameras are on the roof, and the other cameras have been focused into the yard and don't show anything on the roof." Adena then said "She was coming back for the cuffs, but she was so strung out. It would've been quick. I had gloves on and strangled her for about 10 seconds with the cuffs before throwing them over the edge. She caught her breath and tried to apologise to me, but I wasn't having it. I pushed her off of the roof and watched her land, sounded like a log dropping on concrete." Adena looked down as she said "Are you proud of to have a murderer on your staff? I've had to put up with this non-sense for years. Just put me out of my misery and arrest me.." Julia sitting back over at her desk said "Now why would I do that?" "Because I've just admitted a crime to my boss.. At this point I deserve everything I get.." Julia then said "Every officer in here has a crime they won't talk about. I'll tell you that our old mate Phil had two convictions. Contempt of Court and possession of morphine. If I was to report your actions I'd be down a good officer, and if I reported everyone I would have no officers. I have no qualms with what you did. You were under considerable strain. I would've done the same thing.." Adena looked and said "I don't get it.. You shouldn't condone this.." "I know I shouldn't. But we all do things we regret.." Adena stood up and took off the acting governor badge and said "I guess it's back to rounds then.." "Actually no.." Adena turned around and said "Why not?" "Go along with me on this. I want you to relax at home for a few weeks. Put your feet up. take some time out to yourself. Because I will ask the board to investigate your past and if nothing comes up I'll call you. If something does, I'll say you're already on leave." "Are you sure that's a good idea?" "You look like you haven't slept in about 10 years. This one's on me." Adena smiled and said "Can you call Jackie for me. Tell her your back in the saddle." "I did that this morning. Jackie's doing rounds at the moment." "That's good then." Adena opened the door as Julia said "Adena.." Adena looked as Julia said "Thank you. It means alot." Adena nodded as she closed the door. Adena walked into the staffroom and over to her locker where she changed shirts. Jackie walked in and sat down at the desk.. "It's bound to kill me one day.." she said to Adena. "What?" "This job.. Maybe I'll go out in great glory.. Maybe in the brawler bay.." Adena laughed and said "Get real.. the brawler bay?" "Can't use the boiler room.." Adena chuckled and said "Hey.. Welcome back." 'Thanks.." Adena walked away as Jackie said "Thanks by the way.. I should'be never had a go at you." "You had every right. I've done a lot of shit things, but I don't regret what I've done.. I just hope Highmore was worth the trouble." "Yeah, it was.." Adena left the room and made her way to the carpark where Hampton was waiting in the carpark. "I see you are leaving for the day.." "A couple of weeks. why?" "Julia just called. We are to start an investigation. I take it, that was here idea, to get you to take some time off?" "What about it.." "If they find anything, you could go down for assault, and manslaughter." Adena raised her eyebrows and said "It was all in self defense. They'll find nothing." "I hope they do."

Season 13 ep 25
As the guards where roaming around the prison, Adena was sitting in the staffroom eating lunch. Mitch walked in and said "Better finish that quick. The governor wants us at a meeting." Adena sighed and said "Of course. Got nothing better to do in this dump." Adena was at the present the acting deputy governor after Jensen took ill and Simmons refused to take his place. Adena stood up and said "I just need to get away from this place for awhile." "Your neck giving you grief?" "No, the neck is fine..Just this place.. I don't think I could handle another day here." "You know what to do if you do quit.." "What?" "Leave the service. Adena, you've put up with so much. You don't deserve to be treated this way.." "What way? 2 years ago I was governor, I stepped down, continued as a senior officer. Despite the bumps, I think I've done well here." "You know what happens here though, you either end up transferred, behind bars or end up dead.. 2 dead governors and a dead deputy governor.. Vera Richards remember what happened to her?" Adena nodding and said "I remember the Vera thing, was on the news. stabbed by inmates." "Not to mention, Phil Purcell and Jackson Wilson, Heath Brennan being shot on site after the police informed the governor of what Brennan really was. The infighting between Julia and Diane, ousting your own sister just to be governor.." "It's the way it works here Mitch.." "It doesn't work like that at Blackmont, we stood by each other, looked after one another." "This isn't Blackmont.. This is Underline, the opposite, of course some of the others are close, but I can't stand half of them at the best of times.." Mitch finishing his coffee said "You should be glad the governor kept the changes you made." Adena smiled and said "Yeah.. I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of, but I don't regret it. You know what happened a few years back?" "The roof, the so called suicide. That was you." "It was.. I pushed her.. I was just so angry.. They took me up to that roof to show me, where I shot dead someone. On clear orders from the department. I was furious. I can't be redeemed.. I never could be.." Mitch walked over to Adena and said "I don't care what you have done and neither should anybody else.. You just need to look up. Be happy for where you are now." "I've hurt a lot of people." then Adena's radio went off. "Sierra 1 to sierra 8 and every other unit, will you please make your way to my officer please. There is news I would like you to all to hear." "Copy that governor. On our way." Adena shook her head. "This better be bloody good." as Adena walked away to the governor's office, she made it there before anyone else and decided to stand in the corner. "Adena.. You have to speak with me at some point.." Adena looked up as everyone else came into the room. "What's the news governor?" said Jackie as she sat down. "Other than a grumpy deputy.." said Mitch. Julia then said "I've gotten word from the department. They've informed me that they are going through files and applicants." "What for?" said Jackie. "A governorship has come up.." said Adena. "The board wants to appoint a new governor at Fairbanks Prison. Which is 7 hours away. A medium security facility with 30 guards on at any one time.. Governor, Katerina Brenda is retiring at the end of the month, and her deputy has a lot to prepare." "What Adena said." said Julia. "Fairbanks has been wonderful to us over the years and we send many of our less known prisoners there. It's nicknamed 'The Barn' because work unit there is milking cows and collecting eggs. Weeding, that sort of thing" "I guess we should all be waiting for a phone call." said Diane. "Actually no.. I got a call this morning. They'll be formally announcing who got the governorship as early as next week." "Any idea who it might be?" "Hampton's remaining tightlipped all he would say was Underline will be down a guard. Its going to be someone from here." murmurs. Adena stood up and walked out of the room. "Where's she going?.." "Leave her.." said Mitch. "Just leave her alone. All of you. For five minutes at least." "Maybe Simmons, should've taken on deputy.." "Maybe you should just shut up Jackie, or you'll be eating through a straw again." "Why is everyone going off on me? Leaving here wouldn't be so bad would it? You do know she set me up when I spent 6 months in here. When she became governor she told me to my face. She was also the one who left me handcuffed to a chair when I suffered a seizure.." "That was for your own safety. Because you are still too dumb. You never have taken your medication with you, have you? You look like you take it in medical and then go and vomit it up, is that right? As for Adena setting you up with the assault, it was disproved. Adena was struck by you twice." Jackie then said "Did she also tell you, the court never lodged to drop the assault charge. I've floated with losing my career for a long time." "I don't care Jackie. Maybe you should take a look at yourself. 2 years ago you were prepared to shoot Hammer Brennan in cold blood. You carelessly blame everyone but yourself. Brennan didn't order your sons murder, he was ordering yours. His idiot son wanted in and agreed to kill Ryan." Mitch then said "Alright I've had enough of this. Why don't the lot of you shut the fuck up about Adena. She became the officer she had to alright. I can't say that about the rest of you. It's not every fucking day you become governor, or deputy for that fact, but you gotta remember, Adena is human to, and she is reeling. If you haven't noticed, or bothered to ask, her father died during the week and she's been struggling with the loss. She's only at work because she was asked to be here. But instead.." pointing at Jackie "You're to busy dredging up the bloody past to take notice. Your sons dead and has been for the past 28 years, who gives a flying fuck anymore. and you.." points at Simmons. "You didn't make it easy for Adena did you? It was you who told her you didn't want to be acting deputy." "You might want to stop right there Mitch.." said Jackie. "I'm not done. I hope Jackie, the next seizure you do have, is near stairs. And I hope you do die. Because we are all sick of your attitude toward work. I'm done doing your double shifts, because you want 'time to yourself', I'm done with those excuses." "Fuck off." said Jackie. "You'd like that wouldn't you? I'm just about done with you.." "Mr Mitch. That's enough." said Julia. "Worried I'm getting to the truth governor? Tell your other lot, they need to become the officers they have to. And to stop acting like self righteous arseholes." Mitch backed down and stormed out of the room as well. "All right. That's enough. Get back to work." everyone left but Jackie. "Need an invitation to stay?" "Thought as such." Jackie left as well. As Mitch made his way to the boiler room, he opened the door and saw Adena sitting at the desk she had placed there. "This s private party?" "Mitch.." "Don't worry." Mitch walked over to Adena and sat down next to her, Adena put her head in her hands and said "I'm normally so composed." "Don't worry about that. I went off. I'm sure Jackie will never talk to me again." Adena in tears said "This place just calls you back in doesn't it. The next time, I'm out. I'm done." "What about Fairbanks?" "Oh please.. I don't care who takes that.." "I don't know how long it will be before I snap again.." "Hey if you snap you snap." "I haven't been the same person since Linda.. I loved her Mitch.." "I know you did. We all knew you did. Seeing what you went through was difficult. But I couldn't imagine." "A few rough nights.. Drinking and being stupid.." as Mitch was consoling Adena, he kissed her on the forehead and said "It's alright." A few hours later Hampton was in the prison and spoke with everyone in the staffroom. Adena was standing in the corner. Hampton then said "I'm sure you are aware why I am here. It is to discuss the new appointment to Fairbanks prison. Now it isn't an easy choice, as the officer who is chosen has to start next week, Brenda has brought forward her retirement. Now we've been through every thing, including files and reports. We believe the officer suited to the governorship of Fairbanks, is Officer Jackie Miles." "Ya what?" said Jackie. "The governorship is being handed over to you." "You're not serious are you?" said Greg. "Deadly. The board and Brenda made the decision, it was either you or Officer David Jensen." Jackie rolled her eyes and stood up and shook Hampton's hand. "When do I have to leave Underline?" "Tomorrow morning. Return your items and the transfer will go through as immediate. Congratulations." Hampton then said his best wishes and left. As the day went on Jackie was trying to talk with Adena. "Adena, stop.." Adena was ignoring her when Jackie goaded Adena. Adena had enough and grabbed Jackie by the throat and slammed her against the wall before putting her in a choke hold and saying "No, you listen to me Jackie. I tried to help you. When I was acting governor, I had you transferred so you could enjoy time away from here. I didn't know you'd get hurt. I made damn sure that I wanted you back here. I was prepared to give you senior officer rank again, but you treated me like dirt." "Because you put me in here.." "That doesn't matter now does it.. You're leaving what's the difference. Had things been different we could've been friends.." "You said on your first day.. You weren't one for friend ships.." "I wasn't one for being friendly like." "You aren't now.." Struggling to breathe Jackie said "Look.. I never meant for our animosity to go this far.." "I bet you did.." as Mitch was walking around the corner he said "Adena!" Adena looked up and said "Get out of here. We're talking." "That's not talking, that's a choke hold.." Adena then loosened the grip and Jackie breathed in a big gulp of air. "Yeah I set you up, all those years ago. And I set you up again with the Brennan thing." "You what?" "The file was in your locker. I assume you read it. Philip Purcell was handling Ricky's legal case. He lost." Adena then let go of Jackie who dropped to the ground. "There's your assurance of Phil Purcell. He repped your kids murderer." Adena started to walk away as Jackie was furious she was moving quickly but Adena outsmarted her and punched Jackie in the stomach. Jackie winded slumped onto the floor with Adena saying in her face. "I hope you enjoyed your last day. Jackie." Adena walked away as Mitch helped Jackie up and said "You just had to goad.. Didn't you.." Mitch walked away. As the day ended Jackie decided to leave quietly, she handed her passes back in and signed out, one last time. Adena was standing on reception duty, refused to look at Jackie, when Julia shook hands with her and said "I wish you all the best." "You to. I believe what the future holds."

Season 13 ep 30
As Adena was at home having her lunch break she was sitting with Mitch in the lounge room. "I didn't tell you, did I.." "Tell me what?" said Adena. Reaching for another beer Mitch then sat down and he said "I resigned from Underline yesterday." Adena looked at him and said "For real? I didn't hear about that." "Yep, should've seen Julia's face. She was fuming. She said there will be a meeting discussing my resignation." Adena smiled and said "I don't think I'd ever be able to leave, you know, I talk about how much it pisses me off but.." "Oh come on. Adena, I've seen what that place has turned you into." "Oh James. You don't know the half of it." "Becoming the acting governor, then being demoted back to senior officer, must've hurt you. I know when you went from acting deputy to deputy governor at Blackmont it was the happiest I ever saw you." "Right now, I'm the acting deputy governor. I have a job to do." "Oh come on.. Adena. Listen to yourself. You were brought into work an hour after your fathers funeral. Simmons who has worked at the prison for a long time refused to even go for acting deputy. The entire prison staff knew you had a funeral. Julia said she had no choice but to bring you in. She had a choice. She could have made Diane deputy or Mason. No, she called you. You didn't even get the chance to mourn your father. Adena, you have more to give if you left Underline." "I've been in the prison service for 40 years. I'm 59 years old. What could I do if I left the service? If I tried somewhere else, you know what employment prospects face us. I'm too old to be re-trained. I've spent my life around the corrective services area. It'll be hard to leave." "Oh come on.." "With my record in the service, I may be unemployable. I'm hard to get along with and I have been under investigation before. That harassment charge." "Which was cleared since you didn't do anything wrong." "Still. I could work for the board, afterall I am a member of the board." "Hampton would be grateful. It's what I agreed to do." Adena looked at her phone and she had a missed call from the prison, she sighed and put her phone down. "You know.. If something like a governorship popped up, I would take it in a heartbeat." "Like Jackie did?" "In charge of Fairbanks. What a joke.." "I hear she's doing a good job." "After what 2 weeks? I'm surprised." "That's the thing about you. You weren't like this when you worked in Queensland. At least you had some compassion." "James, ever since I moved here, I have had nothing but trouble." "Like that hostage situation in your neighbours house?" "I don't talk about that.." "72 hours awake. several hours in hospital and you decided to work a double shifft after a 22 hour siege, with a graze wound and cracked ribs." "Not my smartest move. We never discussed what happened to that woman.. I went into that house, saw the husband dead on the floor, and the woman with her kid hostage. I tried to talk her out of it, she sent her kid flying into a china cabinet, she got me with the bullet. They fished it out later, if you must know.." "Where from?" "The cracked rib. Turns out I got hit twice. It wasn't until the ladder fall they found the bullet. Lodged beneath the surface, they removed it when I was traction. That kid died, that kid had been abused by both parents for years. Being thrown into a china cabinet set off a remarkable turn of events." Adena stopped and said "I really haven't felt compassion for those prisoners since that happened." "Can I ask.." "What?" "Was it Linda. Was it what happened with Linda that turned you so hardlined?" "You and I both know.. I fucking found her.." "I know you don't like talking about it.. but you became more erratic. It's like as you said many times 'became the officer you to.' but that's what I am talking about. You became hardlined, disciplined and more focused on security as well." Adena said "What Linda did was she cheated on me. Told me she didn't love me like she used to. 17 years together, and I come home and find her in bed with someone else, you're bound to be a little angry. I wasn't taking that. Something snapped in my mind, I wasn't going to be that type of person to let it go. I broke it off." "And brought your problem into work. Linda resigned as a result.." "I know the story Mitch. I was there." "You were there alright.. You were there. You were aggressive and you were furious when they brought her into the prison as a prisoner. You threw her against a wall. Broke her nose. You gave her what for and over the following weeks Linda being sent to Coventry was her last straw.. Yours to. It's why you left Blackmont. Purcell offering the deputy governorship on a plate was the end game you wanted. But stupid you ripped up the deputyship, and decided to work for it at Underline." "The infighting, the dead governors.. riots.. everything. When Julia had that heart attack I was hoping that she wouldn't return, I was hoping that I'd be the governor long term, but what I got out of it was almost dying in the building, a neck problem and realizing that sending staff to different prisons wasn't the way to go about things. But if I was given that chance again..." Mitch then said "I think something may be coming up at Highmore." "The deputyship?" "No, the governorship. As everyone knows Joan Kirkpatrick isn't that well. She's been fighting cancer for a long time. Her deputy, Meg Morris refused to become governor in those circumstances, but has told the board she would happily serve under someone else." Adena thinking said "Highmore does have high standards." "I think you'd fit in nicely." Adena smiled and said "I believe that's right." Adena stood up and went into her room and changed into a dress shirt and pants and placed her work stuff into a box and kept her belt on. Adena came back out of the room with the box and grabbed her keys off of the table. "I'll see you later." "That'a girl." Adena chuckled and walked out the door. Diane was talking with Julia and said "I think it'd be best if I took over as acting deputy.." "Until Adena comes back." Adena was in the staffroom and put her stuff into a locker as Simmons was entering the staffroom. "You look nice." he said sitting down. "Fuck you." said Adena as she closed her locker. "I know why you did it." "Did what?" "You know what.. bringing me in as acting deputy.." "Either that or you would've gone over my head and to the departments." "I was at a funeral. My fathers if you weren't told you dense idiot. Jensen was out sick and yet you did that to me. I didn't even get the chance to mourn my father." "I'm sorry, but I didn't know that.." "Of course you did.. This entire place does.." Adena walked away before making her way to the governors office. "Ah Adena, we didn't think you were coming back." said Julia. "Would've been a shame." "Excuse me?" "Governor. 6 months ago I appalled for a leave of absence. I didn't hear back." "Ah yes.. It was signed off on. And approved. But had to be put back because we were so shortstaffed six months ago and we've been shortstaffed ever since Mitch left.." "Funny that. When I was in charge, every officer was at work, no excuses." "But you're not in charge anymore. Are you Adena." "I'm taking that leave of absence if you don't mind. And one thing I want you to do for me is this. I don't want any contact from the prison and if I do get called in, it will get reported straight to the department." Julia nodded and said "That's fine. Diane will take on your duties until further notice." "This place will find a way to drag me back in.. But for now I need some time to myself." "It always seems to pull us all back in.." Adena nodded and left the room as Julia said "I guess there will be no trouble for the next couple of weeks. Do us a favour, inform the inmates, Adena's rules will no longer be implemented. 3 musters and this bed time getup is very wrong.." "Will do." A couple of weeks had passed and Adena was talking with Hampton. "You made up your mind haven't you Adena?" Adena nodded and said "You better believe it. I'm taking on a role with the board. Underline has no future. It'll fall apart without me." "It already has.." "What do you mean?" "They relaxed your rules and reverted back to old ways. I guess it had to happen.." Adena rolled her eyes and said "Mind if I make a call." "Not at all." as Diane was talking with Julia she said "I have this urge to smile now.. Those regulations that Adena put in were mental.." "Of course. She made it worse not better. Some of these women are smiling for the first time in months." as the phone rang Julia answered it "Julia Miles, Underline Prison. Oh hello, how are you? Yes, yes.." as the conversation went on Julia got the surprise of her life "are you sure? okay.. I wish you all the best then. Goodbye.." Julia put the phone down and looked up at Diane dumbfounded. "Who was that?" "That was Adena Ferguson. She's just resigned."

Season 14 ep 1
"What do you mean resigned? I don't believe it.." said Diane. "Believe it.. She's coming in later to return her gear. But she's done." "I doubt it.." "She's been offered a role on the board, and she's taken it. Its what she said.." "Wow." Julia pushed the phone away and said angrily "You know what, that was the last thing we needed.. First Mitch, then Mason and then Adena. We're already understaffed as it is.. How am I supposed to find another two officers? The board isn't going to be happy about this." "Oh who cares. We have the numbers. We'll just have to cut short a few holidays." "Jensen's for starters. He won't like that, but who does." as the two wondered who they were going to call in from holidays as Adena was at home with Mitch sharing an intimate moment. "Here's to us." they clinked glasses and kissed. "I have to go back in to Underline and hand my stuff over. Say a goodbye to the place." "At least this time it wont pull you back in." Adena smiled and said "This time, the place will fall apart. Shame discipline went out the window when I left. It's the only thing the place had going for them." "Don't think about that now.." Adena stood up and said "I may as well get this over with now." "Need help?" "I think I need to do this alone.." Adena grabbed her car keys and left the house and made her way toward Underline. As Adena got to Underline she made her way into reception and signed in as a visitor. "I know the way from here." she said to an officer. "I still have stuff to give back." "Sure thing. I'll leave you to it then." Adena made her way to the staffroom where she opened her locker and her equipment was still in it. Even the badge she had when she was acting governor. "Something short lived.." she said as she lifted up the box and took it with her to the governors office. She was about to knock on the door when she overheard the conversation in the room. "I don't care anymore. Adena resigning may be the best thing for this prison. Maybe everyone with a medical condition wont be handcuffed to chairs." "Oh it was once. And Jackie deserved it." "Are you serious?" "Who cares. Jackie left it doesn't matter to me anymore. She has her own life to lead." "Of course she does, but I don't think that she'll make a good governor, and just imagine if Adena of all people got those ridiculous rules put into regulations, prisoners would riot.." "And? You reckon Adena could do worse?" "We all have our lives to lead.." "And so do I.." said Adena as she opened the door. "I guess my resignation came at a bad time?" "Are you kidding.." said Diane. "Now you have to figure out who to bring back from holidays. And who needs to be informed." "How the shit did you know?" "Oh please. You've taken me for an idiot the moment I started working here. Let me tell you something, Julia. I was always one step ahead of everyone. I worked with and on the board for almost 30 years and spent most of my life working in the prison system. I know every regulation, every rule. The book I could read to you backward. I resigned from Underline because I couldn't take anymore of this.." "This what?" "You know what. The infighting.." "I didn't realise there was any infighting." said Diane. "Oh really. How about the instability of the governors job. Lets talk about you ousting Wilson as governor and then Julia ousting you as governor. Such much for sisterly love huh, but you weren't to happy about that?" Julia sighed as Adena went on "Or how about the two dead governors. The security breach that led to Vera Richards death and an officer assaulted and placed in isolation. Philip Purcell being attacked and left for dead on the staircase after an aggressive prisoner wasn't sent to isolation for threats toward an officer. It was your duty as 2IC to make sure it was reported, but I guess it was swept under the rug and when he died you acted like it was no surprise. Phil afterall was in over his head. He admitted as such, being a lawyer in a prison environment wasn't for him. He could've been sent back to the states and sent to prison for a long time if the truth about him coming over here ever got out. But it didn't he had to lie for years. Then again if you can't handle life as a prison officer, then you shouldn't be working in corrections, again he admitted that to the staff of Blackmont, he was scared for his life, he knew something was going to get him. And what about Wilson's arrest and the security breach behind him bringing a gun into the prison. Or how Heath Brennan smuggled weapon parts into the prison and shot your sister, not once but twice and both times the person in charge was you Diane once as deputy governor, another as governor. This place is a walking disaster." "Oh like when you were in charge, the prisoners were too afraid to even request to see you. You put fear into them.." "Like any good governor would. Prisoners are here for a reason, they broke the fucking law. They are here to be punished. Not to be pandered to or consoled. They committed a crime and they are here in prison to pay their debt to society." "It was a real shame to you when you were demoted back to senior officer wasn't it? I know how angry you were." "I put that anger into my work. What anger I had was staying in this dump. Never once did anybody ask how I was." "Oh right your dads funeral.." "I worshiped the ground that man walked on. He was a mentor to me and when he died, I had to pick up the pieces, I kept my private life very private as you know. But being called into work because Simmons was too chicken shit to face the responsibility of being acting deputy governor made me question why I stayed here in the first place. Afterall I think I would've been a great long term governor." "But you ripped up your promotion, out of honour for him. That I understand." "Not anymore." Adena walked over to the box with her stuff in it and reached into it holding her name badge with her position as senior officer on it. "This is our identity. It has been mine in this prison for 8 years. Out of my 40 year prison career, I had never felt more alone." Adena lowered her head and said "Until Mitch came down from Blackmont. I felt like I belonged. We got together, started reconnecting. I found love once before, but I found someone. Someone who likes me for me.. We decided to get married, privately in a courtroom, no fuss." Adena held up her hand with the ring on it and said "I didn't resign because of Mitch. I resigned because I couldn't be here for a moment longer." Julia then said "Keep the name tag. As a memento." Adena nodded and put it into her pocket and said "All the prisoner stuff should be in there." Julia pulled out a piece of paper and Adena signed it, it was the release forms for all the equipment. Adena walked over to the door and opened it and said "I guess this is goodbye.." Adena left the room closing the door behind her. Adena made the slow walk out of the prison, as Adena made it to reception she returned her visitors pass, as Hampton made his way into the building. "You still up for the meeting later?" "Yes of course." "Joan Kirkpatrick will be there." "Alright then." Adena left the reception and went outside. Adena gave the prison one more look over and smiled as she left. A few hours later Adena was at the board meeting, where Hampton was with several others, before they left, leaving Adena alone with Joan and Hampton. "Is it good news?" said Adena. "I'm going to resign from Highmore." said Joan. "I cannot keep up this battle forever." "Does your deputy know?" "Who do you think's been running the prison for all these years? I've been too sick to handle it. The day I got promoted to deputy was the day I was diagnosed with cancer." Adena's eyebrows raised as she said "All these years.." Joan nodded and said "I've put up too much of a fight.. That's why I need someone with your talent as governor of Highmore." "It's still maximum security yeah?" "Yes. 40 guards on at any one time." "And no infighting to take this away from me this time.." "So you'll do it?" Adena nodded and said "Of course. When would I start?" "Immediately." Hampton walked over to the dress cupboard and opened it, he brought over a uniform. It was the Highmore uniform with the governors pips on them. "You've waited so long for this. Why not show them, you still have it." Adena looked at Joan and said "You want to leave right away?" "I resigned last night. Meg is acting governor. She'll need someone right away." Adena then said "A deputy governor like Meg is someone I need." "Someone she needs Adena. I've been sick for years. Meg needs someone healthy." Adena looking at the uniform said "Its a done deal." the two shook hands as Hampton then said "We'll get down to Highmore, the press is waiting for a call. get dressed and we'll go there." a few more hours later, Adena was with Hampton meeting with Meg and touring the prison, Meg giving thanks to Adena for becoming the governor and Adena feeling finally happy about her career path. 10 minutes later the press were at the prison. Joan walking out first, with Adena standing next to her. The press conference went live. "As many of you know, I Joan Kirkpatrick have been the governor of this prison for 10 years. In that 10 years I have been fighting cancer. And my deputy governor Meg Morris made executive decisions regarding the prison, but I could no longer put that burden on my deputy governor. Last night I resigned from my job as governor and went straight to the board. Standing beside me is the new governor of Highmore, Adena Ferguson. Adena has worked in prisons for 40 years. serving as deputy governor at Blackmont, and as acting governor, deputy and senior officer at Underline Prison. I wouldn't have given the job to anybody else. Adena I wish you nothing but the best.." as Diane and Julia were watching from the office at the prison, Diane said "What a cop out.. she leaves goes and be's a board appointment and becomes governor. What a joke.." "I don't think so.." said Julia. "If we aren't careful with this, she could blacklist Underline from receiving prisoners as transfers." "ah yeah.." as the interview went on Adena said "I never thought I'd be given a chance like this. After all working at Underline was no cake walk. The only thing left there is infighting for governor and persistent worrying if you were going to walk out of the place with your limbs still there.. But I wish every officer at Underline all the best." as Adena continued she said "We become the people we need to be. And I became the officer I needed to." Adena stepped down from the podium and shook hands with Hampton, Joan and Meg.

Season 14 ep 2
"Are you serious Adena? After all I never went for the governors job at all." "Oh shut it Morris. You spent over 10 years working beside Joan. You were the governor. You made all the decisions. I can work alongside you but not like this. I can't have you countermanding my orders every chance you get. You know what. Since you think you can't be governor material how about you take over. How about you grow up and take the position you wanted for over 10 years. Because I can't do this. Not again." "What do you mean?" "I've tried so hard to become a governor, and right now I see no point at continuing on as governor of Highmore if you all do this to me." then a knock on the door. "What?" the door opened and it was Hampton. "What now?" said Adena. "I heard everything.. Adena. Are you alright?" Adena walked up to Hampton and said "No. I'm exhausted. I've been in this job for 6 months already. You better bloody believe this idiot has been holding out. Claiming she never wanted to be governor, but I can see it. When you spent your entire career working toward a goal, I believe you should grab it. I've grabbed to few opportunities. I still have unfinished business back at Underline." "You're not serious are you?" said Meg. "As dumb as it sounds. I can't work here. Underline and Blackmont I served my time as an officer, but I feel it needed to make a return. Meg look, you can do this job without me. Because you are the right person for this job.." "What about you?" "I'll take some time off. I'll go up to Queensland sort out some stuff there. Visit my fathers grave for one. Say goodbye. You know." Hampton then said "I want to know what brought this on? Why leave now.." "Since Jackie got promoted and everything going my way for once.. I need a little organised chaos. And Underline had that for me. I hope I haven't disappointed you Tuck. I'm sorry, but this isn't the place for me.." Hampton nodded and said "I understand. But you must realise if you do this, you return to Underline as a senior officer." "I was senior officer before, what's the difference now.." "None I guess." "Then I resign the office of Highmore. I'll have my things packed up by this afternoon." Hampton nodded and said "Then we have it. Meg, you will have a permanent replacement as governor, you. And your 2IC deputy governor will now be deputy." Hampton nodded as Meg walked out with him. Adena sat down in the chair and reached for the phone, making a call to Underline.. "Gimme a sec.." said Julia as she answered the phone. "Governor Miles, Underline Prison, how can I help." "Please don't hangup on me Julia, I want to tell you something.." "I've decided to resign as Governor of Highmore. I'm coming back to Underline.. I know it sounds weird but I miss the place." "Are you sure you've made the right decision?" "I need a little bit of chaos in my life, here there is none. I've just had Hampton here and I've told him of my plans. I'm going to be back as a senior officer, but not for a couple of weeks." "That's good then. Because Mitch took back his resignation as well. Working with the board is more boring than first thought.." "There's good news on that front. He and I are married. We had a private ceremony, he'll be good for the prison again as well." "I believe so.. but I don't want any trouble this time Adena. Please.." "No trouble will come of this. Look I have to go. I need to start packing my things.." "I won't keep you.. see you in a few weeks." "Thank you Governor." Adena put the phone down and sighed heavily. "What is going on?" "You won't believe this. Adena Ferguson, resigned from Highmore 6 months after taking the job.." "I thought she would've loved to be there, being governor and all." "I don't think thats the reason. She was upset about something else.. I think she's going home for a few weeks to say goodbye to an old friend." "But why resign the governorship?" "If she does miss this place, it'd be through knowing that she did everything in her power to have that, and I don't think she enjoyed it. 6 months is a long time to be governor. My bet is Hampton made Meg Morris governor. It was time Meg stepped up anyway. Spending more than 10 years as basically an acting governor, Hampton would've been aware of that at least now Highmore will go back to laxing its measures.." "Maybe the power will go to her head?" "Oh don't say that.." as they continued talking, Adena was packing up the rest of her things, when she finished packing she shut the box and tapped it closed. She carried to the staffroom and opened her locker and grabbed her bag. "Governor.." said a guard. Adena turned around and said "I'm not governor anymore.. In fact that job is Meg's now." "I'm sorry you had to do this, but I understand.." "Do you really.." "Yeah. You came into the job full of life, and to watch it drain out of you these past months has been hard. What are your plans now?" "Take a break. Go back home for a few weeks and relax." "Would you like me to help with that stuff?" "Would you please?" "No dramas." the guard took the box and Adena took her coat out of the locker along with her tag. As they made it outside Adena then said "It was great working with you lot I will give you that." "Nothing beats Underline does it?" "Its strange, the back half of my career I wanted out of Underline so badly I didn't realise how much I came to love it. After all I did hurt so many people.. I just hope they don't see it as a weakness you know?" "You spend too much time caring. Adena you did a good job here. Some governors don't last a year, some last 10. Don't feel down about it." Adena nodded as the officer walked off wishing her luck, as another came out with a clipboard and Adena handed over her equipment and said "I guess this is goodbye.." "I guess it is. Best of luck." Adena got into the car as the officer went back into the prison. Adena later that day flew out to Queensland where she visited her fathers grave, after that she walked over to an old friends and knelt down to place a flower on it. "What became of me Linda.. I became the opposite of the officer I had to become.. It went to far.. I just want your soul to know, I never stopped loving you.." Adena stood up and lowered her head. "I cared for you. I loved you.. " Adena walked away slowly. "I think we all need a little guidance sometimes.." said Mitch from behind. "Mitch, what are you doing here?" "I heard you resigned from Highmore. You decided to spend a little time up in Queensland. Say goodbye." as they walked out of the cemetery, Mitch took them back to the hotel and they sat drinking and eating food. As the TV was on a news report from Highmore was played. "6 months after taking the reigns of governor from Joan Kirkpatrick, the shock decision for the governor to resign came out of the blue according to the staff of Highmore Prison. Meg Morris has said Adena Ferguson resigned from the position to take some time out for herself and was handed the position fairly due to Meg being deputy governor. The prison released a statement saying that they wish Adena nothing but the best and that being governor is an extremely hard job and takes someone with the will like Adena Ferguson to keep a prison running smoothly.." Mitch laughed and said "The will. bloody hell. It was a maximum security prison. What are they stupid.." "Yeah.. I guess." "Hey, what the matter?" "I've worked my entire life in the service. Almost gave it a few times.. The next time, I think I will give it all away.. I'm hurtin' James. Everything just hurts now. My ribs, my knees, my neck.. I wake up tired everyday from working in the service." "A few weeks away will change your attitude.." "People don't get me. Why I am the way I am.. I grew up wanting to help people, instead I shot dead 2 people in a riot several years apart. I put my closest friend in a wheelchair. I handcuffed Jackie Miles to a bloody chair. I've done a lot of crazy things, but I can never make up for any of it.." "Is that why you're returning to Underline?" "More or less. I haven't been redeemable for years, but hell I can try." "Resigning as governor of Highmore may have been one of them." "Doesn't change anything else though does it." "I guess. But it's up to you how you deal with these things."

PU Season 14 ep 3
As Adena was in the staffroom on her first day back at Underline since she had resigned from being the governor of Highmore, she was happy to be in familiar surroundings again. Adena was putting her badge back on when Jensen walked into the room. "Morning, Jensen." said Adena. "Morning Adena.. Never thought I'd see you here again." "Times change." Adena stood up and said "I don't need to tell you why I resigned.. You probably know already.." "Organised chaos the governor said. I'm sure you left Highmore in good terms. 6 months is a long time, for anyone." Adena nodded as her radio went off. "Sierra 1 to sierra 8 I wish to see you in my office." "Sierra 1, on my way.." Adena clipped her radio back on and Jensen said "Welcome back." Adena nodded and left the room and made her way up to the governors office. She knocked on the door and was told to come in. "You wished to see me governor?" Adena closed the door. "Not particularly. But this man wanted to." Adena turned around and the man introduced himself. "My names is Adrian Johnson. I work for the departments anti corruption/drug/fraud unit." "And what can I do for you?" Adrian walked over to the governor's desk as Julia moved to the door. "Don't leave governor.." he said "This concerns you as well." Julia nodded and sat down at the table in the corner. Johnson opened his briefcase and got out a folder. "If this is about my resignation from the governorship at Highmore, I had every right to do so.." "Your time at Highmore does not concern me." "Oh?" "Can I ask.. How much of the Blackmont Riot do you remember?" Adena rubbed her chin. "I remember it starting, someone set someone off and all hell broke loose. The last thing I remember is being taken hostage and waking up in hospital.." "This medical report proves that. And security footage from where you were found.." "Mr Johnson, I don't understand.. What's going on?" Johnson looked at both Julia and Adena and said "Well last week.. I guess its time you should know, Anita Collins was arrested after she admitted to everything that happened at Blackmont." "What?" said Adena. "She admitted to everything. She admitted to overdosing Linda and making it look like suicide. She admitted to starting the riot and injuring 3 prisoners, and she admitted to faking her injuries after a riot here." Adena looked up and said "You've got to be kidding me.. All these years, and she harmed those prisoners.. Why did she tell me I hurt them?" "Her statement she gave the police said she wanted to get back at you for having a stable relationship.. I have no idea what that meant. Nor do I care. What I do care about is, after we looked into your file a few years ago, we were tipped into looking at Collins', we never got around to it. Now we know why." "But what about the doctor prisoner? The one I met when I was in hospital, did Collins hurt her as well?" "No, that one was you, but it was purely accidental. It was a riot you pushed her off, and she hit her head on the wall. She pressed no charges so it didn't get put into your file." Adena rubbed her head. "What's in my file then?" "The only thing in your file, is your resignations from Blackmont and Highmore." opening the file of Adena's Johnson turned it around and showed Adena as Julia said "If Collins did all those things, then how come she is admitting to them now?" "Admission of guilt. I guess there is only so long you can hide the fact you set up a mate to take the fall for assault charges, and later manslaughter charges.." Adena looked up and said "I shot two people dead during a riot is that not manslaughter?" "No, thats self defense." Adena then said "I didn't think Blackmont had security cameras." Johnson closing Adena's file and putting it back into the briefcase said. "Blackmont, had one. It was in the library. And this report here, indicates that you would've never had the chance to get to those prisoners, unconscious or not." "I don't even remember waking up in the library.." Johnson showed Adena the medical report and said "It's lucky you're even alive.." Adena reading the report a loud "Ferguson was found unconscious but breathing in the library, she was taken to hospital where she woke up 4 hours later after undergoing a procedure to reduce swelling around the trachea. It is now known that Ferguson was placed in a chokehold and moved into the library, where prisoners left her to die. She was found in time to be sent for medical treatment. Every prisoner involved was charged and 3 with attempted murder. Blame placed on Ferguson for 3 prisoners also sent to hospital, even though Anita Collins was the only other senior member of staff with access to the library on that floor. This is to remain confidential that Ferguson did not attack those prisoners, but she will be informed that she did and no report will be lodged with the department over Collins.." Ferguson put the piece of paper down and said "Was a report made to the department?" "Oh yes, the department received it.. The day you were transferred from Blackmont." "That was 8 years ago. Why wasn't she arrested then? Instead of my mind thinking that it was me who did that to those prisoners." "The board only took it seriously, when Anita tried it again." Adena then said "What do you mean tried it again?" "The last riot here at Underline.." "She resigned from here, and claimed she would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.." said Julia. "She was never paralyzed was she?" "She had real nerve damage. But nothing so serious to be chair bound. She tried it. The board was onto her like a stack of bricks. They only offered her the role of vote after Morris dropped out. It was to keep an eye on her." Adena and Julia were speechless as Julia said "What happens now?" "Anita will go to trial this afternoon in Queensland, and hopefully get put behind bars." "But where would they send her? I mean every prison in the country could go out on strike if she gets sentenced today.. and aren't I supposed to be there?" said Adena. "No Adena, you don't have to be there. A media statement will be released but you will be preferred to as Jane Doe. It's time we saw justice." "Justice doesn't bring back Linda does it.. Or the fact I had to carry those 3 people in my head for almost 25 years, does it? Anita did all she could to ruin it.." putting the files back in his briefcase and closing it Johnson said "The charges against Collins are too great. 3 charges of assault occasioning manslaughter, fraud, conspiring to ruin reputation. That gets someone a long time." "You still didn't answer the question. No prison in their right mind would take her. At least not without a union member saying it would be too dangerous." "Only there is one prison with that power to take her.." "You've got to be joking.." "Blackmont is taking her. The only prison in the country that will." Johnson stood up and said "I urge you, whatever happens with this case, don't get involved any further. We want justice, it will get done. Trust me." Johnson closed his briefcase and grabbed it, he walked over to the door as Adena was stunned sitting in the chair. The door closed as Julia came up behind Adena and said "Are you alright?" Adena looked up and said blankly.. "Yeah.. I guess I am.." Adena stood up and went out of the governors office and returned to duty, as Jensen came into the room and said "What's with Adena? She looks like she's seen a ghost.." "She's just been told Jensen, that Anita Collins admitted to everything. Including the drugging of Linda, and the assault of 3 prisoners. Adena's just had a huge weight lifted off her shoulders." "Knowing that she didn't do it.." "The medical report and security footage came to light." Julia sat down and said "I do believe I can offer Adena something more.." Jensen nodded and said "The governorship?" Julia chuckled and said "The deputy governorship." Jensen nodded and said "Give it another week and promote her." "I intend to. You're just not the deputy I need, Jensen, I'm sorry." "Don't be. It was fun while it lasted.." Jensen sat down and said "I just heard a rumour that Meg Morris shafted some staff." "I heard that as well. Rumours are rumours though." "You think Adena had the right idea?" "I believe so. Meg had been Joan's right hand for years. The staff reports from Highmore claimed that Meg took over, and that Joan wanted someone else as governor. Meg never came forward and said she wanted the job. I believe that was the reason Adena left, as a favour to Joan. Meg plotted and undermined her, Adena had enough and came back here. Meg got everything she wanted." "Bit stupid isn't it? I mean you and Diane.." "That was different, very different. I wasn't about to move to another prison and trying to start again." "I got a report from Highmore when Adena started as governor. She was doing the right thing but every 3rd report was a countermanded order from Meg. Meg was doing it deliberately.." "Do you think that she made Joan worse?" "Either that or Joan knew and still kept going for 10 years." "Bloody hell."

PU Season 14 ep 4
As the staff were having a meeting, Jensen was standing with the governor as Julia said "Officer Jensen has decided to stand down from the deputy governorship. And I have made my mind up on who will replace him as deputy." Jensen then said "After discussion with the governor, we decided to let Officer Ferguson take over the reigns." Adena looked up and said "For real?" Jensen nodded and said "Yes. I've done so much here at this prison, I never really wanted the role as deputy. But I believe that you can do this job again." the officers nodded in agreement, as Jensen handed his deputy coat and badge over to the governor and grabbed a jacket with the senior officer epaulets and his name badge with senior officer written on it. Adena stood up and shook hands with the governor and Jensen. Adena put on the deputy jacket and was handed her old badge. "I saved this for you. Wilson kept all officer badges in his office, when he was stood down he put this in the safe and it was worth keeping the old badges. Saves making a new one." Adena nodded as an officer came rushing into the room and said "Governor!" the officer catching their breath as Julia said "What's the matter Simmons?" "News report.. escape.. Blackmont." "What are you talking about?" said Julia. "Every prison in the country is being placed on lockdown. Anita Collins has escaped from Blackmont." Adena raised her eyebrows and said "Impossible the prison is maximum security." as Adena was about to talk, Julia turned on the report from the computer. "This is Hector Davis reporting here at Blackmont Prison, as every prison in the country is being asked to go into lockdown. Anita Collins who was sentenced to life in prison after admitting to manslaughter and corruption in the service, escaped 2 days ago, and it is not known where Collins is headed. What is known about the escape is that Collins who had faked a spinal injury after a riot at Underline Prison, does have nerve damage and that the nerve damage to her legs could mean she is travelling interstate via a stolen car. The public have been warned that Collins is dangerous and should not be approached. Collins escaped after stealing an officers swipe card and making a get away outside the prison." the report cut off as Julia said "Two days ago? How come we are only finding out now?" "I can answer that.." said Hampton. "Sir, in all due respect you shouldn't be here." "And I respect that." "Two days.. She could be bloody anywhere!" "Why the hell would she want to escape anyway." "I think it will be to come after you." "She can try. But I'm at work. And there is no way she can get into this prison." "Are there any points she could get through?" "Not that I am aware of." Simmons then said "The boiler room.. shit.." "What about it?" "We've been meaning to concrete up a false floor in the boiler room for years. That floor leads out to the city docks.." "Simmons if you haven't noticed, Collins is in her 70s, no way would a 70 year old crawl through the tunnels just to get into the boiler room.." "We have a 70 year old on remand for assaulting someone with a baseball bat, don't give me that.." "It's the only room without cameras." "Funny that.." "Surely not.." Adena then said "Mr Hampton as the deputy governor, I suggest I escort you out of the prison. If Anita does find her way here, I don't want you anywhere near the place." "But what about you guys?" "Don't worry. We'll handle this." "You can't kill her. Just don't kill her.." "If we find her, we'll deal it. After everything she's done, she deserves to suffer." Adena then led Hampton out of the room and the two got talking. "I see Meg Morris has laid off some good staff." "Yeah she did. Unfortunate. A lot of those officers meant a lot to Joan.." "Joan would be horrified at what Meg is doing." "Meg's doing everything herself. She didn't keep her deputy governor. She's running the prison herself." "Can't you get her out?" "Until someone puts in a report, we can't do anything." "Bloody hell." "You should be glad you got out when you did. Meg really lost the plot after you resigned.." as they made it outside a guard walked over to them and said "We'll take it from here, thanks Adena.." Adena nodded and said "Look after Meg, before she does something stupid." "Hopefully she'll bring on her own downfall." Hampton got into the car, as Adena watched him drive away. Adena went inside again as she was walking in the corridor she bumped into Mitch. "All the prisoners are in their cells. complaining about an escaped criminal then anything." "Yeah that'd be right.." "Be safe alright?" "I will." Adena walked away and to another block, as she was walking by herself, and walked down the hallway and heard a door open but thought nothing of it until a voice said. "Hello there.." Adena turned around and saw Anita standing in front of her holding a handgun. "You have to be kidding me.." said Adena as she grabbed her radio and turned the volume up on it. As Julia said "Where did Adena go?" "Not sure.." the crackles of the radio could be heard as Adena reported it in. "Sierra 8 to sierra 1 we have a problem.." Julia then saying "sierra 8 where are you?" "Check the cameras.." Anita laughed as she got closer to Adena and punched Adena in the gut twice. Adena made noises as it brought her down, and her radio dropped to the ground. "Adena?" "What the hell is that noise?" "Her radios been broken.. We can hear her, but not the other way round." "Shit.." as Julia brought up the footage of where Adena was she could see that Adena was on the floor, bleeding from the mouth. "I've been waiting for this moment for 26 years. Finally finish what I started.." Adena who was hunched over on the floor said "You sadistic cow." "Blackmont was an easy place. Sometimes the easiest place in the country if you asked me.." "You set me up, like you did many good officers." Anita laughed. "Good officers? Thats a laugh. The only good officer in the place was you and the governor. After you left it was all too easy. I set up more officers, drugged a few more prisoners." Adena pushed herself onto the wall and said "And yet they sent you there to rot for life. Pity I can't watch you.." Anita knelt down beside Adena and said "This is the way you looked when Linda died. I saw how much that destroyed you.. The depression that it brought you." Adena then said "I suffered with PTSD from being lynched, I was held in a chokehold and almost killed. And pushed off a ladder from 8 metres high. Lost just about everyone close to me, learned to live and love again and I married the man who wanted me for who I was. I'm going to tell you I have PTSD, I have depression. And years ago I would've told you to just end it." as Julia said to Jensen as they were listening. "Routine and just that little bit of chaos is what saved her.." "Are we getting the police yet?" Julia nodded as Diane said "We can't get through to the b block gates. She's cooked them." "Get a maintenance team down there. rip the bloody bars off if you have to." as Adena slowly stood up in pain she said "The thing that saved me, was this place. Funny that.. the thing that's almost killed me multiple times, is what I keep coming back to. This place keeps me busy, this place is my work. Corrective Services is the only job I've ever known and its the reason I'm still alive. Shame the industry has people like you in it." "Don't you want to know how I escaped?" "Not particularly. No." "I stole.." "A swipe card. the news told us.." "Did the news tell you the card I stole was from a guard I killed?" "I don't care what the media say." Adena's broken radio went off. "Sierra 1 to all units, we have a situation in the b block corridors we have a team down there now trying to work out the gates. Be warned Collins is armed and will shoot." Adena wiped her chin and said "You hear that.. They've got a team.. How about you put the weapon down and we go unarmed." Collins laughed as she threw away the gun and said "Gladly." as the two fought, punches flew and Adena got the upper hand when she grabbed Collins' arm and twisted it. Adena held it and said "I push on this shoulder any harder and I'll dislocate it. I swear I will." "There's the old Adena Ferguson.. Hiding behind the deputy governor badge." "It's not the old me. This will be in self defence.." then Adena felt a sharp stab in her side. "And so was this." Adena let go of Anita's arm as Adena stumbled and went down on the floor. Anita pointed the knife at Adena said "You still chose life?" "You better believe it. For far too long did I believe the darkness should've taken me. Not any more. There is no darkness without knowing what the light has to offer. I have survived. I will survive." as Adena chuckled. Diane was at the gate as the team got the bars off and Diane pushed them out of the way as the sound of police sirens could be heard. Diane hid around the corner and saw Anita holding the gun she picked off of the floor and was aiming it at Adena. "Good night.." Diane then ran into the fray and tackled Anita to the ground, handcuffing her. Anita screaming out "No.." as Diane reached for her radio. "Sierra 7 to all units Collins has been cuffed I repeat Collins has been cuffed." "Thank you sierra 7. All units be advised police and an ambulance is here.' Diane looked up at Adena was was holding her side said "Get them here." as the paramedics made it to b block, Adena was put on the gurney and her wound was looked at. "It's deep, but I don't think it hit an organs.." Adena then said "Then again, I can deal with looking like the bride of Frankenstein for awhile." Julia who was with them said "We heard everything on the radio.. I'm sorry that we didn't know you suffered from PTSD and depression." Adena smiled and said "It's all part and parcel of working in corrections. Having that routine and the fact this does happen, is a good reason to keep on going in this job." Adena was taken off to hospital as Collins was in the governors office. "Pulled a dumb stunt.." said Julia. "And what would you know?" "I know an officer is having a stab wound looked at, a fake gun as well. I'm sure that scared Adena." "Next time I'll finish the job.." "There won't be a next time.." said a police officer. "You're being sent to Steelwater Supermax. You'll die in there." "You can't do that?" "You admitted you killed an officer, and no one at Steelwater owns a tv. so count yourself lucky." "Yeah, lucky.."

Season 14 ep 5
Jensen was sitting in his car which was parked in the prison carpark. The carpark was empty as he was the only one at work, that was outside at the current moment. He reached over to his glovebox and got out a package of white powder, and snorted it, he wiped his nose clean, and put the package on the floor, as he got out of the car. He locked the car as he was putting his jacket on and went into the prison without hassles. "Morning, Jensen.." said Diane. "Morning, how are you?" "Well. Hope it's a quiet one thats all." "You never know.." Jensen grabbed his belt and radio and put it on and said "Is the governor in?" "Nah. Not yet. Ferguson's in there at the moment." "Doing what?" "Haven't you heard?" "No, what?" "She got some news last night. We all did." "About?" "Highmore governor being under investigation. A report was lodged with the department a week ago and the department are taking it seriously." Jensen turned and said "Morris?" "What rock have you been living under? Morris sacked a heap of good officers after Ferguson left. Morris undermined everyone, including Fergo. Morris put in some new rules at Highmore which included armed guards out the front and 6 guards on the prison roof. One of the officers who got booted said things were so rough, he asked for a transfer to Fairbanks and he said the conditions at Fairbanks are much better than the ones at Highmore." Jensen nodded. "Fair enough." Diane walked over to him and said "No, not fair enough, Curtis. Meg Morris is the reason Adena came back. Meg Morris was basically the governor for the 10 years Joan Kirkpatrick was fighting cancer. She made every decision in that prison, she ran it, Adena was competition to her. got rid of her the easy way. Undermined her." "Oh who cares.." said Jensen as he turned around. "You should care. It effects every single one of us." "Adena came to this prison as deputy governor. Stood down after 12 months and you were deputy for a bit. Then I was. Then she became acting governor, introduced some good new rule changes, they were relaxed when Julia came back. And then Adena left for 6 months. There is no hard work in just leaving.." "You've been here to long Curtis.." "Way to fucking long, this prison changes people. I was around when Phil was here, we all were. Things went to shit after he died. Adena arrived and trouble brewed, tensions in here rose, we all know what happened with Jackie. Spending 6 months in here, bashed and released back into work like nothing had happened. Funny thing about it, the only thing that happened, is that her medical condition was now public knowledge. She still didn't care, she rose up from the ashes and took on Fairbanks. Greg is happy for her and I haven't heard from him since he went over to Fairbanks as the deputy governor. But in here, the only way you take staff out, is feet first." "We've seen some messed up shit during our years here, but you can't blame Ferguson. We are the only prison in the state where prisoners aren't slotted for illegal drugs.." "I can't blame Fergo, but I can blame the vibe that Vera Richards left. Wilson had to deal with the fact he had someone on his ex-staff as a prisoner, she didn't last long. Phil had to deal with the shitty example of being a pawn in Richards' eyes. She got to him." "You've changed mate.." "So what." "Be careful on who you become, you've had a rough trot over the past few years. If you're not careful, you will breakdown." "I'll know how to handle it.." "Not like last time. Not drugs again mate.." "I'll use what I have to.." Diane rolled her eyes, as Jensen walked away. Jensen was on his rounds when he bumped into Simmons. "Watch it mate.." said Jensen. "Yeah alright. Calm down mate." Jensen in a split second got really mad and shoved Simmons up against the wall, and had him by the throat, as Adena came up from behind and tackled Jensen off of Simmons. "Jensen, the governors office. Now!" Jensen snarked and said "Yeah, of course." he walked away as Adena helped Simmons off the ground. "You alright?" "I'll be fine.. I don't know what got into him." "You didn't provoke him did you?" "No.. But I've seen him like this before." "He shouldn't be here. Not in this state." "Just deal with it before he hurts someone." "He already has mate. I got complaints he was aggressive yesterday. If this keeps up I'll have to suspend him. I'm acting governor until Julia gets back from this conference. And I don't want to tell her, one officer has been suspended. But if I have to I will." Simmons nodded as Ferguson said "Get back on your rounds." Simmons walked away as Ferguson went to the governors office. "Sitting in the chair like a big girl are we Fergo.." Ferguson was standing face-to-face with Jensen and said "How long have you been on the drugs for?" "I dunno what you mean.." "Do I look like I feel off the back of the stupid truck?" "No, but you look like you've been run over it a couple of times.." Ferguson maintained a calm demeanor and said "These reports come through a while ago, all from this week. aggressive behaviour, shouting at inmates, threatening them. This isn't you." "What would you know.." "The fact you came into work today. Your pupils are dilated and your calmness is gone. You are high on drugs." "So? It's my vice." "If your vice is drugs you don't belong in the prison service.." "Either do you." "Mr Jensen. I read your file and I understand the losses you have had. But this is no excuse. As acting governor I am suspending you pending an investigation. I doubt whether you'll be working in corrections ever again.." "I doubt you will ever see me back here. This new you is unbecoming." "I grew up a lot. Pity you didn't. Life is hard, it is what you make of it." "Shove it, Fergo." Ferguson stood up and said "You still have a lot of growing up to do, Curtis.." Jensen then said "For years everyone called me just Jensen, what's changed.." "You.." Jensen left the room as Adena sat back down and started her report. She phoned Hampton and Julia to tell what happened. Adena a few moments later was met by Diane who said "What happened with Curtis?" "I sent him home, on suspension." "What why?" "To sober up." "That bloody idiot.." "Tell me, was this drug use before I came here or after?" "Before.. He was young and dumb. He lost everyone and everything, except his house. His life was this job. Vera was gonna chop him before he became clean. He was clean for about 15 years. Thats a long time.. He slipped a few times. The only reason he stayed in the job was the long hours." Adena nodded and said "It's no excuse, not in how many times we bring in the external forces." "I know.. It's him though." the door opened as Hampton came in and said "I am glad you phoned. We should've gotten rid of him years ago." "He would've been dead years ago.." "But not our problem.. So what's the go?" "He's gone home to sober up, what he does after that I don't care.." Hampton looked at Adena and said "Did you do this for your own reasons?" "To sober him up." "Of course, but I don't understand. Why send him home and not straight to a clinic.." "If you haven't noticed the nearest one is 20 hours away and then you have to be willing to give up the drugs." as the phone rang, Adena answered it and hung up 40 seconds later. "That was ground security. The just raided his car." "And?" "There's empty drug packets everywhere." Hampton rubbed his head and said "This time.." "He's cooked."

PU Season 14 ep 6
Adena was sitting in the governor's office as she heard a knock on the door. "Come in." it was Kirk who was looking extremely worried. "You alright Kirk?" "No, none of us are. The mood here is just so weird. I feel like something has happened, something bad." Adena nodded and said "I feel you, but I can't lay my finger on it.." "Has Hampton come back from Fairbanks yet?" "No, and Julia's not due back until this afternoon or earlier knowing how Julia operates. This whole business with Curtis Jensen has thrown us all for a loop." "He's an ex-junkie who lost everything. Who cares." as the door opened Julia said "He is more then an ex-junkie, Mr Douglas. For your information he suffered from PTSD after his family was killed in front of him while he was held hostage during a robbery. He never recovered." "He put it on himself when he decided he wanted his career to focus on the criminal element. You make a lot of enemies in this job.." Adena looked up and said "I did the right thing in suspending him though?" "Yeah. You did." "What happens now?" "The investigation was closed pretty quickly. It ended this morning." "I only just informed the board 3 days ago.." "They came to a decision in that time. It wasn't his first time to work high on drugs. He had been warned, and he tried to stay sober." "He fell off the wagon. He's paying the price.." said Douglas. "Gee, Kirk what has got into you.." "If your vice is drugs you don't deserve a job like this.." Kirk opened the door and said "I lost one of my best friends to a drug overdose because she refused help, and so did Jensen. One less junkie is a thing to celebrate. I'm going home, I've done a triple shift, I had to finish Jensen's shift because of that stunt." the door slammed as Julia said "You don't think like that do you?" "Anita Collins is serving life at a supermax prison. In the highest protection unit. She lives with the fact she killed someone, that someone was special to me, and I am angry everyday and always will be. But plotting revenge isn't worth it. Anita got what she deserved. Kirk's always been on the fence and he does blame the junkies and the sellers. The junkies mostly for putting it into their veins. Believe me even I wanted a way out. But it was never going to be through drugs." Adena stood up and said "Kirk will calm down.. Eventually." as Adena left the room she did her rounds and bumped into Diane. "Have you seen James?" "I think he's on yard duty." "Thanks.." Adena walked to the yard and met up with Mitch. "Hey is everything alright?" "Yeah, fine why?" "Just some strange vibe.. I haven't felt a vibe this strange since.." Adena stopped mid sentence and said "Shit.." Adena ran off as Mitch said "Where are you going?" Adena didn't reply as she ran to the governors office. "Governor.." "Adena what is this.." "That vibe, somethings happened." "Out in the yard or to one of our officers?" "One of the officers.." "This vibe has been around since the other day. It's a sinking feeling and I don't like it." Julia nodded in agreement and said "Would you like me to go check it out?" "No, I'll do it. Just stay by the phone." Julia nodded and said "I don't like where this is going.." as Adena handed over her belt she said "Sometimes I wish I didn't have these instincts. I hate them.." Adena then left the room and the prison and got into her car and drove to a house. There were lights flashing as Adena pulled up on the other side of the road and was stopped by police officer as she got out of the car. "Mam, this is a crime scene." "I know who lives here. I work with that person." the officer looked at the uniform of Adena's and said "Deputy governor?" "Yes." "Would you be able to identify the man in the house?" "Probably." "I warn you if I take you in there, it may be confronting.." "I've worked in a prison for years. Nothing surprises me anymore.." "Alright, I'll take you in.." as they walked to the house Adena said "Who called it?" "A neighbour, said he loud noises early in the night, didn't think much of it until this morning. He saw a pool of blood and a gun on the floor. called us." as they got inside the officer said "We have a colleague who could ID the body.." the coroner then said "Heath Mcready. Coroner. Its open and shut case. He shot himself in the head.." Adena looked over at the table and saw a pink thing sitting on it. "What's that?" "A bit of his brain..." "Oh god.." "Officer?" "Adena. Adena Ferguson." the coroner looked at her and said "I'm going to lift the sheet up and you will have to see this. Are you ready?" Adena nodded as the cover was lifted showing the bullet hole in Jensen's head. Adena nodded and said "That's him.." the coroner lifted the sheet back up and said "Did he have any family?" "None, they were killed years ago, tragic accident." "He was wearing his uniform, was he going into work?" "No, actually he was suspended from duty because he was high on drugs. He was under investigation after he was suspended they found more drugs in his car." "More open then shut case boss." said the officer. "Drug induced suicide? He did this on purpose?" "No person in their right mind would use hunting rounds in a handgun." Adena bent down and was taken outside by an officer. "Are you alright Miss Ferguson?" Adena looked up and said "I need to make a phone call." "To who?" "Underline. the governor needs to know." the officer got her phone out and said "Use mine." Adena said thank you as she got the phone off the officer and called Underline. "Hello, Julia Miles governor speaking." "I need you to call a staff meeting.." "Adena? Whats wrong.." "It's Jensen.. He's dead." "He's what?" "I got to the house and there were cops everywhere, I talked with them and ID'ed the body, it was Jensen alright." "I'll get the staff together." Adena hung up as an officer came outside and said "We need to bag some stuff. It was drug inflicted suicide alright. There are drugs hidden in places I would never dream of looking." Adena looked and said "I know its none of my business but may I join the search?" the officers looked at each other and said "We don't allow it. but you would know the rules.." "I haven't spent almost 40 years working in corrections if I didn't know the law." Adena was passed gloves and she was allowed to search the house for stuff. She looked in a cookie jar and said "Bloody hell." an officer walked over and said "What?" Adena pulled out bullets. "The same hunting rounds. He wasn't messing about.. What was he a hunter?" "An idiot. He was oddly private. I knew his work personality not his personal one. I never talked to him outside of work." "Boss." the cop turned around and said "A notebook, tailing his time at Underline. Just says deputy governorships mean jack shit.." "What does that mean?" "It means boss, he was the deputy but stood himself down. Underline has had 4 deputy governors in 15 years. Diane Miles was deputy before Phil Purcell arrived, Phil took over, he was killed the job went to Adena here who handed it over to Jensen and back again.." "Why is it so important?" "He lost out on a governorship at Fairbanks, and the one at Highmore.. Being deputy governor is a step closer to governor.." "Not all the time though. I mean look what happened at Highmore, the governor they had for 6 months quit, no one thought Meg Morris would take on the role as governor, she didn't challenge Joan Kirkpatrick for it. The woman was ill." "Aren't we investigating someone at Highmore?" the waved his hand and said "We'll need to come to the prison, inform the staff of whats happened.." Adena said "I've asked the governor to get available staff in for a meeting. I think they'll know whats up." the officer nodded and said "Need one of us to drive you to the prison? You've had a nasty shock.." Adena shook her head and said "I'll be alright. You grow a thick skin in this industry.." Adena got into the car and drove off as the officer said to his commander. "Are we going to tell them everything?" "We have to. It's not going to go over well. Clearly if he was suspended for drugs he took the cowards way out.." "But.." "There's not buts. Not this time." the coroner walked out of the house and over to the officers. "The blood results came back. He had cocaine, heroin and high trace amounts of alcohol in his system. As I said open and shut suicide by drugs and a gun shot for good measure." the coroner handed over the report and walked away as the commander turned to the clean up crew and said "Get this cleaned up. Bag anything you think is a hiding spot for drugs." the cops walked away to their cars and drove off. Adena made it to the prison the same time as the police did, and they made their way inside with Adena. Adena put her belt back on and met with the staff in the staffroom as Simmons came into the meeting late and sat down as Adena stood next to the governor. "This is bad news as you all know. It's not good." Simmons then said "He's dead isn't he?" the officer nodded and said "I'm afraid so." "It was drug induced suicide. He shot himself in the head, with hunting rounds." The officer then reached for a bag in his pocket and said "He left this note beside his body." the officer opened the bag and got the letter out and it said "All this says, is I had to end this. The drugs took over. They really did." the officer handed the note over to his partner as Adena said "Get out.." the officer looked at Adena and said "You've obviously taking this harder then the others.." "No, officer just get out." Julia looked at Adena who was about to burst and Adena said "He took the cowards way out. Listen to me everyone. Jensen took his own life because he refused to acknowledge his drug problem and he ended it the way he wanted to, high on drugs. He didn't give a damn on who he hurt." "Adena.." said Julia. "Let me say this, you'd be hard pressed to find an officer in the corrective services industry who doesn't have a mental health issue, but we deal with it our own way. We find our vices, whether it be swimming, talking with colleagues, having a laugh, gaming or just reading a book. Drugs are not a vice we should allow to be used. Jensen took those drugs knowing he could've lost his entire career and he did that anyway. He threw away support he threw away his career." "This means a lot to you.." "It means so much more than that.." said Simmons as Adena continued "I'm not done. I suffer with PTSD, and mental illness. Back in 1984 I was lynched by prisoners in a case of mistaken identity, the day I should've died, but I was saved by colleagues. I was pushed off a ladder and fell 8 metres with the only injuries being neck muscle soreness and traction. I have been stabbed with scissors, shot and shot at, underwent surgery to remove a blood clot, and you know something else, when I was 22 years old, I was told I had cancer, whilst I was 6 months pregnant, with a baby that was extremely ill, it had Osteogenesis imperfecta type II the worst type. I had to make a decision no parent wants to make, I chose my life over my baby's, and held my son for 38 minutes before undergoing a radical operation to remove my reproductive organs, it destroyed me and my relationship with my first partner, Linda. I had lost so much my first long time relationship, my ability to start a family and the ability to realise that I got cheated on, it broke me. I sat by my fathers side while he died of kidney failure and resigned from a job I wanted to keep, the governorship of Highmore, and I spent 22 years wondering if I had hurt those 3 people from Blackmont but found out I didn't. My entire life has been a hell of a ride, I considered it a long time ago just to end it, but something in my head twigged, something stopped me, and that was being with friends, being around familiar surrounds. There are two types of officers in this job, the Joan's and the Bea's. The Joan's are by the book rule followers, take a joke here and there, get the job done. The Bea's are the ones who make jokes who lighten up a place like this. Because if you didn't realise, this job is dark, thankless and sometimes depressing, but we know how much it means to us if when can get to one person and get them out of here for good. We don't hunt them down, we don't scare monger, we try and rehabilitate them, we try to put them back into society. We make jokes, we laugh, we drink. Because without laughter in this job, what's the point?" everyone nodded in agreement as Adena said "We'll mourn, we'll remember, but most importantly we will get on with the job, because we picked up where we left off, we pick up the pieces and continue. Now officer, please leave, while we get back to work." the officer nodded and opened the door followed by another officer. Adena was standing there still as Julia went over to Adena and said "That was real brave of you Adena.." Adena didn't say anything as Julia waved her hand in front of her face. "Adena, can you hear me?" Simmons walked over and said "I think she's in shock. She did just reveal personal stories to us, and the police.." "What she just said was also the most accurate thing anyone has ever said about this job.." Adena snapping out of it said "They weren't the ones who had to identify Jensen with a bullet in his head. I helped find drugs in places I never thought possible, and the amount of bullets I found.. I don't know what to think.." "That you shouldn't have to think about that, ever again.." "But it happened." "It did. and now its over." said Simmons. Julia said to the officers who were still in the room "It's best you get back to work. But if you wish to take some time off feel free, you've all had quite a shock." another officer then said "Sorry governor, but I refuse to take time off for that. Curtis should've asked for help when he was at his lowest. I've got many family members with depression and traumatic stress, they seek help they have the support system needed. Curtis let the drugs win. I can't mourn that, so I won't, I'll be getting back to my job, and being a Joan." officers nodded as one said "I believe I'm a Bea." "This job needs that dark humour you all expect." officers then left the governors office with only Adena and Julia being the only ones left in there. Julia looked at Adena and said "It takes guts to say what you said.. I never knew you went through so much.." "No one ever did. It's not something you bring up in conversation.." Adena chuckled as Mitch knocked on the door and entered the room. 'I'm sorry I missed the governors meeting, what did I miss?" Julia looked up and said "Just the most bravest thing I've ever heard someone say to the police.." "What happened?" "Curtis Jensen shot himself. Drug induced suicide." "What else happened.." "Adena, told a brave story." Mitch looked at Adena before walking over to her and hugging her as Mitch said "Linda and Adena wanted to start a family, and I provided the get go. Never did I think it would end the way it did." "Is it why you say you're a survivor?" Adena nodded and said "Those 38 minutes nothing else mattered, everything stopped for those 38 minutes." Julia then said "I understand now, why you are so good at this job.. You've put everything into it.." Mitch then said "I bet it feels better knowing that you don't need to be quiet about it anymore." "It does, it really does" Adena smiled as she stood up and said "I let tragedy mold me. I became the officer I had to, and told a room full of people something about me. Now they know who I am I believe this can work out for the best."

PU Season 15 ep 1
"As of now, things will be different." said Adena to the guards. "With the suddenness of how this happened, I expect everyone to understand and be willing to learn." Adena then turned around to reveal that she had been promoted to governor and that the uniforms of the prison guards had changed from blue and white uniforms to black and white, after Julia decided to stand down as governor a change was decided on. "We don't have to search for a deputy governor, thank goodness, Julia will remain as deputy governor." Julia nodded as she stood with the guards. Adena looked and said "Trust will be paramount, for everyone. And I need to know if I can trust the lot of you." Diane then said "You can trust me.." "I believe that." "Same here." said another group of guards. "Alright, good. I know the last time I was governor it wasn't a pleasant time, but I do believe I have changed since then. I believe that we are a team if we work together. The last time I didn't listen, and I was an angry person back then, but now is a different story.." as Julia then said "Back then it was a heart attack, now its my choice. I believe this move is good for morale and a good more for this prison. I am sorry for the person who did want to be deputy governor, but I felt like it was time to do the job for me in an easier way. I hope you can forgive me.." Simmons nodded and said "In this prison? the role of deputy isn't the one everyone is after now, is it?" everyone laughed as Adena said "Alright, time to scatter everyone." everyone left the room as Adena stood up and watched over the compound from her window as it was raining, she heard thunder overhead and said to herself, "This is where it starts.. This is now..", in reception, Diane was talking with Simmons who said "After last time why would the department let Adena be governor?" "You don't get it, do you Simmons?" "Get what?" "The woman you saw in there, was vastly different to the one who resigned from here a few years ago. We hurt her then, but in that time she found out who she really was. Found out the truth of what happened at Blackmont, and told everyone why she was the person she was. She's still a broken person, but this can help her." "She told everyone her personal life, in front of the cops, after Curtis shot himself in the head. She did it for herself." "Nah mate, she did that because she was hurt, she is fighting an invisible illness, and as she said then, any officer here or anywhere may have a mental illness it just takes that one person to fight the demons. And that's what she has done, she's fought." "She shouldn't be here, fighting that fight anymore, she should be lying on a beach, you know, relaxing, taking up gardening or something." "So I should retire from corrections too huh? God I hate you sometimes Simmons. Men and Women can suffer from depression and PTSD. You never once been held hostage by a prisoner?" "No.. Because I'm smart." "No, because you're a coward. How many times have you put your body on the line during work?" "None." "That's your problem, you're too scared to put your life on the line. Adena has done that on more then one occasion. And if you weren't listening, she was lynched by prisoners, pushed off a ladder, shot and shot at, slammed head first into a security gate during her first shift here. Need I tell you more?" "Oh go on. I'm interested.." he said sarcastically. "You know what, maybe you should resign Gerard. I'm sick of you and your baseless attitude toward the women officers, if you can't show some respect here, maybe you should get a transfer.. I hear Highmore's looking for a new deputy governor.. then again, Meg Morris seems to have the job pretty well sorted.. Or maybe Blackmont.." "Shove it up your arse." "There we go." Diane then walked away as Simmons walked in the other direction. Julia told Simmons to stop moving, as Simmons said "What the fuck do you wanted?" "A bit of respect." "What would you know? You demoted yourself and let Ferguson take over.. Surely.." "Surely nothing, it was the right choice to make. Gerard you have to understand you were never going to be deputy governor because of your treatment to these women. You treat them.." "Like the scum they are. They are in here because they broke the law, they are here for crimes and they are doing time." "I know that old tone, and I don't like it." "I know that, and I don't care." "Then leave. You're nothing but a hindrance to this staff." Simmons walked away furiously as a person made their way to reception. Julia walked over and said "Hi, can I help you?" the woman turned around and it was Jackie. "Jackie? Is that you?" "In the flesh." the two then hugged as Julia said "It's been ages." "It has." as Simmons barged his way into the governor's office, Adena was talking with a prisoner. "Officer Simmons there is such thing as knocking, this is a private conversation." "Oh about?" "Parole. Now If you will wait outside Mr Simmons." Simmons was furious as he stepped outside and closed the door. Adena finished the conversation as a guard got the prisoner and took her away, Simmons came back into the room. "Making an enemy of yourself today aren't we? I have reports here already. They have been piling up over the years.." Adena reached into the desk and got every folder out and put them on the table." "Oh shit.." "Shit's right.. It's piled up mate. The board isn't too happy about this either, every single report is the same. Swearing at prisoners, abusive behaviour, one count of sexual harassment against an officer, sexism, sexual slurs and an attempted assault.. Gerard, what happened? You were never like this.." "You don't know me very well then." "I don't think I want to. This type of behaviour can only be swept under for so long before it all comes out. And it did with these reports. At best its 5 months for intimidating behaviour." "Oh who cares, its a blow off anyway. I've been in this job for years, got nothing for it except abuse, I can find work elsewhere." Simmons took off his name badge and sat it on the table. "I'm done. I quit." Adena called in for paperwork regarding Simmons' stuff, as Simmons said "I figured out who I really was, when you came back." "This isn't on me. This is on you." Simmons took off his security belt and passes. Adena looked and said "Things happen. They do. But you have to move on." Simmons took off his pips and put them on the desk, as another officer was waiting outside for him. "I have no choice. I will send the paperwork off to the department, telling them of your decision to quit, the reports will be lodged and made official." "What does that mean?" "You'll be barred from working in corrections ever again and you may be barred from any service that is in corrections, including dog squad trainer and police officer." Simmons nodded and said "Do it. Lodge it, I have nothing to lose.." Adena looked up and said "You do though. If you are found guilty you could lose your freedom." the officer came in and said "Take Mr Simmons to the staff room to get his things, then escort him outside." "Yes governor." as Simmons left the room, the officer took him as Adena grabbed a box off the table and put Simmons' things into it. She put the box on the table and closed it, she put the box in the cupboard, as she sat back down. "I hear you have a new governor?" "Yes. this morning, it was made official.." as the two were talking they saw Simmons in a change of clothes being escorted by a guard. "Hey, Simmons, what happened?" said Jackie. "Fuck off. Like any of you care. I just quit, and every report on me is being sent to the department. I may be charged with intimidating behaviour and attempted assault. All those reports from 10 years ago piled up and its your fault I'm in this mess Julia, if you hadn't resigned your position to be deputy this wouldn't be like this." "There you go again." said Julia. "You better wake up to yourself boy. It's not my fault. Nothing was swept under the rug. It was all kept in a folder marked with your name. The governor had every right to send it to the department." Simmons then spat in Julia's face because grabbing her by the throat. Officers rushed over to aid Julia as Jackie was escorted into a safe room. It took 5 officers to subdue Simmons as he was handcuffed by another male officer and taken to a quiet room. An officer helped Julia up and said "Are you alright?" she nodded and said "Yeah, I'm ok.. just shaken.." As Diane rushed into the governors office she said "Governor, Simmons just went ape. He attacked Julia." Adena stood up and said "Where is he now?" "In a solitary cell. The police have been called." "I've had enough of him. I've had it up to here!" Diane nodded as she said "We had to take Jackie Miles to a safe room, do you want me to let her out?" "Of course. I just have to deal with Simmons first." "Governor... Hampton is also here." "Take him to solitary, and he can see what a monster Simmons has become.. Get Julia as well if she is up for it.." Diane nodded as Adena heard the door close. She slammed her hand on the desk and said "Fuck sake.." Adena then left her office and went to solitary to see Hampton standing with both Miles sisters and another officer. "Open the gate.." she said. the officer did as instructed as Adena opened Simmons' cell. "You resigned of your own free will, but in leaving you assaulted a correctional officer with intent to cause harm. 5 guards had to subdue you and bring you here. I have no choice but to have you charged with additional charges. To protect my staff." "Are you sure that's the only thing you are protecting.." "You worked in a womens prison for almost 15 years. You don't get to say anything anymore. It's time to listen." "Oh for sure.." "I'm not going to bother, because you aren't worth my time.." as the police had finally arrived, Adena then said "I don't think you'll enjoy being on the other side of the bars.." Adena then talked to the officers, who took statments and took the footage from the cameras as they took Simmons away in handcuffs, Adena turned to Jackie and said "After all that mess. How about a well overdue chat?" Jackie nodded and followed Adena to her office. Adena shut the door behind her as Jackie sat down. "Sorry about that.." "He seemed pretty pissed. I've never seen someone lose it like that.." "Yeah...' "I know you didn't call me here to talk about Simmons, why am I really here? You know the last time we spoke it was a different time. You held me by the throat.." "I was an angry person all those years ago. I learned a lot in a few years.." "3 years is a long time between the last time we spoke. We weren't on good terms.. It seems you made up your mind the first day we met." Adena recalled the conversation.. "Yeah, that.. You reminded me of someone.." Jackie paused before saying "Linda?" "How did you?" "Diane mentioned it the day Jensen commited suicide and how you told to the police to get out and the story..." Adena lowered her head and said "You reminded me of her.." Jackie's eyes widend and said "How?" "Personality. she was kind, caring, strong willed and with a good heart. You reminded me of her, and I had to try and distance myself from that. I never meant for my treatment to you to be so horrible.." "It was only verbal but I do believe we all need to be taken down a peg or two.." "She was the first person I ever gave my heart to as well. She lost everything to be with me, her family wouldn't even talk to her, and I spent a long time with her. 17 years.." "What happened?" "A lot of things. Mainly that Linda resigned from the service and a few days later was sent to prison on drugs charges.." Adena stopped and as Jackie said "Rough.." "I found her a few weeks later dead in her cell. She was given a hotshot by a guard during the night.. I only found out who it was years later.. She's now serving a sentence at a supermax prison.." "Anita Collins? fuck.." "I did manage to move on from that loss, but you never forget who you lose.." "No, you don't.. I was angry for years about that kid who took my Ryan's life. I have a moment to myself everytime it's his birthday. I lay flowers on his grave every year. Speak with him.." "How old would he be now?" "He would've been in his mid-30s. Probably married, 2 kids, working in the acting business." Jackie reached into her pocket and pulled out her a necklace. "I carry this around with me everyday I go into work." she held it out and it was a chain with infinity on it. Adena smiled and lowered her head. Jackie put the necklace away and said "I'm sorry.." Adena loooked up and said "Don't be.. I'm glad you remember him that way." "Lets change the subject.." Adena nodded as Jackie said "You're clearly down an officer after Simmons's resignation. I'd like to offer my return to Underline." "But.. Aren't you governor of Fairbanks?" Jackie shook her head and said "I was.. Up until 3 weeks ago. I had to step down.. Greg took over the role and I took leave." "You and Greg aren't on the rocks are you?" Jackie chuckled and said "Anything but. It was a board decision. Being the governor of a prison is a hard job and they thought Greg had the right attitude.." Adena smiled as she opened the desk draw reaching in and grabbing her name tag and said "You might need this.." Adena opened her hand it was Jackie's old badge. "But... how?" "Julia kept a lot of old badges. She kept mine.." Adena stood up and opened the cupboard that was behind her desk and got out a uniform and belt. "If you wish, you can start as soon as possible." Jackie nodded and said "It'll be my pleasure. Governor." Jackie looked at her badge and it said 'senior officer' something she was truly proud of. "First time I've been proud to wear this senior officer badge. Feels like a lifetime." Adena smiled and said "Things change. You want the truth?" "Yeah, I do.." "You deserved a lot better from me all those years ago. And what I told you today.." "Doesn't leave the room? I know. I've heard it before, we all have." Adena changing the subject said "You know the routine, as soon as you resign your post as deputy governor of Fairbanks, you can start here immediately. I need all hands on deck." Jackie nodded as she said "I did that this morning. I have free reign here again." "As free as you get, Senior Officer Miles." Jackie smiled and nodded as she left the room, Adena sat back down and sighed with relief.
