PRISONER CELL BLOCK H: EPISODE 693 ONWARDS

Episode 806

EPISODE #114 IN FANFIC

NOTE - THERE IS A NEW CHARACTER INTRODUCED IN THIS EPISODE CALLED ABIGAIL FREESTONE. IN MY MIND I IMAGINED THIS CHARACTER TO BE LIKE KAY FREESTONE, THE FEMALE KILLER IN A COLUMBO EPISODE FROM SEASON 7 ''MAKE ME A PERFECT MURDER'' AND ONE OF MY FAVOURITE COLUMBO KILLERS(AND THIS IS WHERE I GOT THR NAME FREESTONE FROM). THE MIX OF ABIGAIL AND FREESTONE IS ALSO BECAUSE THERE WAS ANOTHER FEMALE KILLER CALLED ABIGAIL IN SEASON 7 OF COLUMBO.  COLUMBO WAS ALSO ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SHOWS ALONG WITH PRISONER, SO THIS IS WHY THERE IS A COLUMBO VIDEO WITH KAY FREESTONE :) I ALSO HAVE A COLUMBO VIDEO ON EPISODE 803 WITH JOHNNY CASH AND IDA LUPINO.

NEW MUGSHOTS - SASHA/JUDY/SPIDER

Eileen and Ted are sitting down
Eileen - So how long has it been going on?
Ted - Look, are you sure I can't get you a drink first? You look like you could use one
Eileen struggles to keep her cool
Eileen - Damn the drink! I want answers and I want them right now!
Ted - Yeah well I need a drink ok!
Ted gets up to pour himself a whisky
Eileen glares at him as if she wants to kill him

A swarm of police and forensics are at the sight where Joan's body was dumped
Grace is there puffing on a cigarette and muttering miserably to a nearby colleague
Grace - I had just got home for the evening when I got the damn call to come out here!
Colleague - A police detectives work is never done eh Sir
Grace nods his head grimly as another colleague approaches
Grace - So, what do we have then?
The colleague looks grim
Colleague - Suspected female, possibly middle-aged. Doesn't appear to have been there for very long, a couple of days at most
Grace - Killed here or elsewhere?
Colleague - Hard to say. But I suspect she was killed elsewhere and dumped here later
Grace - Any clues to help us identify the poor bitch?
Colleague - Yes as a matter of fact there is Inspector. We found this next to the body
He hands over a purse
Grace - Lovely, this sort of thing usually helps us out a lot... let's see if it can help us today
Grace opens it and looks through it. He finds something and takes it out, has a good look at it
He gasps in shock
Grace - Ferguson...it's Joan bloody Ferguson
Colleague - You know her?
Grace - Oh I know Joan alright. This woman was trouble, big trouble and she had more lives than a bloody cat, she kept bouncing back time and time again when most people would fall. It seems that this time her luck finally ran out for good
Grace looks almost sad

Ted sits down and drinks his whisky
Ted - Good stuff this, sure helps steady the nerves when needed
Eileen - Please stop wasting time and tell me about you and Janice
Ted - There is not much to tell really, we had a little fling, but it didn't mean much
Eileen - Really?
Ted - Yes really, it's over now for good
Eileen - And you expect me to believe that do you?
Ted - Well why not, it's the truth. Janice is marrying Richard and I am marrying you so the right thing to do is end it. We had our fun and now its time to settle down with the ones we both love and who we will marry
Eileen - Admirable I'm sure
Ted - So what do you say Eileen, just forget the whole damn thing, and let's concentrate on getting married
Eileen lets out a cruel chuckle
Eileen - You don't seriously think I am going to marry you now after this do you?
Ted - Why not? I told you it is over between Jan and i
Eileen - SO what? That doesn't alter the fact that it happened in the first place
Ted - You weren't even supposed to know about this, damn Lucy and her big mouth!
Eileen - Oh yes, I realize I wasn't supposed to know but I am glad I know the truth. About the only decent thing, Lucy has done!
Ted -Eileen please, I do love you I swear it. Please forgive me, I will never do this again I promise
Eileen - Oh you're right, you won't! That much I can promise you
Ted - Are you going to give me another chance?
Eileen - No way, never in a million years...and I will make you pay for this, you and that bitch
Ted looks fretful
Ted - What are you going to do?
Eileen - I don't know yet, I will need to think it over. But when I do eventually decide on something you will be the first to know I assure you, you and Janice that is
Ted - Now look Eileen please, be reasonable about this
Eileen snaps
Eileen - REASONABLE? REASONABLE!.... I FIND OUT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN SLEEPING WITH MY DAUGHTER BEHIND MY BACK AND YOU ASK ME TO BE REASONABLE! WELL YOU HAVE SOME NERVE TED, I'LL GIVE YOU THAT
Ted - Please don't do anything ghastly to us, Eileen, we are both truly sorry
Eileen - Yes, you will be! Now I must get out of here and away from you
Eileen gets up and begins to march out as Ted runs out after her
Ted - Eileen, please! I am begging you, my sweetheart, to forgive us both, please!
Eileen - NEVER!
Eileen opens the front door and Inspector Grace is standing there
Grace - Good evening, what excellent timing. I was about to knock!
Ted - Oh good evening Inspector! What a lovely surprise!
Grace - Did I call at a bad time? You both seem a little upset.
Ted - No it's fine really. What can I do for you?
Grace - Well it would be better if I can come in so we can discuss this inside
Ted - Ok, do come on in then
Eileen - I will leave you both to it
Grace - No actually Mrs Raymond it would be better if you stayed
Eileen sighs
Eileen - Oh very well if you insist
They go inside and into the lounge
Ted - Take a seat inspector
Grace sits down
Ted - Can I offer you a drink? Brandy? Whisky?
Grace - No thank you, I don't drink on duty
Ted- Tea or coffee then?
Grace- No I am fine thank you
Eileen looks at her watch
Eileen - Awfully late for a police visit isn't it?
Grace - Well this isn't a social call Mrs Raymond, it's police business...and police business has to be taken care of any time of the day
Ted - Actually I am glad you're here inspector, I was going to ring you soon about my sister
Grace looks interested
Grace - Oh and what about her?
Ted - Well she is missing see, no one knows where she is. She has been gone several days and I am worried sick
Grace - Worried why?
Ted - Well it's just not like Joan to vanish like that without telling anyone. With all the enemies she has I just can't help but be concerned
Eileen - Not to mention it is damn irresponsible of her to leave her role as governor without a word! Luckily I had reliable Vern to step in!
Grace - Yes well Mr Ferguson it is Joan I am here about and I am afraid to say that you had good reason to be concerned
Ted - Why? What happened? Oh I knew something had happened, I had a bad feeling
Grace - We've found a body
Ted - Oh no! No please tell me it's not Joan!
Grace - We believe it is sorry Mr Ferguson. We found her purse by the body
Ted looks devastated
Ted - Oh god no!
Grace - I must ask you please to come and formally identify the body Mr Ferguson
Ted looks horrified
Ted - You want me to identify her? Oh I don't think I could do that Inspector, look at her laying there like that
Grace - I'm afraid it has to be done and we like it to be done by a family member
Ted - I can't do it, I just can't
Grace - Then perhaps Lucy would do it?
Ted - No, Lucy is not here
Grace - Then I'm sorry but it will have to be you
Ted turns to Eileen with tears in his eyes
Ted - Come with me love please, I need your support
Eileen - Oh forget it, Ted! You and I are finished and you will get no more favours from me
Ted - But please Eileen! Can't you see that I need you? My sister might be dead and I have to look at a body. I know you're upset with me but can't you see that this is serious and I need support? I can't do this alone Eileen please, I'm begging
Eileen looks at Ted and looks genuinely upset and concerned for once
Eileen - Ok Ted, ok I'll come with you. I can see how upset you are and I'll come and support you during this dreadful ordeal
Ted - Oh thank you so much, it means a lot
Eileen - Yes, well this does not mean that everything is ok between us
Ted - Yes I realize that
Grace seems impatient
Grace - Mr Ferguson, if we could perhaps make a move now, please?
Ted - Yes, of course, I'm sorry. I'll just get my coat
Ted leaves the room for a moment, leaving Eileen and Grace alone
Grace - Good of you to come along Mrs Raymond, it doesn't look like Mr Ferguson would cope with this by himself
Eileen - I know, poor man. There is a small chance that this person isn't Joan isn't there?
Grace - Yes, there is always a chance that this person stole Joan's purse, that is a possibility
Eileen - let's hope and pray that that is what happened and that Joan is still alive and well
Grace - Between you and I, I wouldn't be too hopeful about it. Joan has been skating on thin ice for years. Her luck was bound to run out eventually and I have a feeling that now is finally the time
Eileen - Yes, maybe you are right. Well, at least I know I can trust Mr Schofield to look after Blackmoor as the new governor!
Ted returns to the room
Ted - Ok well I am ready to go now
Grace - Very good, we will go in my car
They begin to leave
Ted - I feel sick, absolutely sick. I really hope this isn't Joan but instead some case of mistaken identity
Eileen makes a half-hearted attempt to comfort Ted
Eileen - Oh you poor man!
They arrive at Grace's car
Grace opens the door for Ted and Eileen
Eileen - Thank you, Inspector
Eileen get into the car
Ted stands staring blankly
Grace - When you're ready Mr Ferguson
Ted - I don't think I can do this, I really don't
Grace - Please hurry, we haven't got all night to waste!
Eileen extends an arm out
Eileen - Come on my dear let's get it over with. Come inside the car and I will give you a nice hug while we drive to the morgue
Ted gets in the car next to Eileen and she hugs him
Eileen - There you go dear, it will be ok. I am with you
