Breakin' teeth down in, tent one
I fought the law and the, law won
I fought the law and the, law won
I needed some satis-faction
I fought the law and the, law won
I fought the law and the, law won

Around the baby it felt so bad,
I'd had enough of Fern,
She gave me a real ton of crap
I fought the law and the, law won
I fought the law and the, law won.

She's robbed people of their, rations
She fought the law and the, law won
She fought the law and the, law won
She missed her baby and she, missed fun
She fought the law and the, law won
She fought the law and the, law won

Around the baby it felt so bad,
I'd had enough of Fern,
She gave me a real ton of crap
I fought the law and the, law won
I fought the law and the, law won.

In adjacent cells, with a typical barred door, Kate and Fern have been incarcerated. Fern has spent most of her incarceration so far sobbing loudly, but it hasn't got her any more than the bread and water Kate got.

There is one guard, who looks tired, and is sitting down the end of the corridor with a newspaper. There is a barred window in each cell, a non-lit fireplace near the guard, and a large barred window at the other end of the corridor.

Kate is sitting with her head leaned back against the wall, quietly humming the tune she and Tommy danced to in an effort to drown Fern out.

She has to give it to her, she has exceptional resilience.

With a sigh loud enough to be heard in the adjacent cell, she switches tunes.


"Nobody knows the trouble I've seen / Nobody knows but Jesus ... "

Breakout

When the summer sun has long since set, two shadowy figures and a monkey approach the outside of the police station.

"Keep your eyes and ears peeled." Carlotta whispers to Tommy, setting the monkey on her shoulder before shimmying quietly up the drainpipe. Once up, she tiptoes across the roof, lies flat, and carefully peers down through the high end corridor window.

"One guard, asleep. We need keys."
