00:00Well, we're going to have to do something about that Mari bitchin' soon.
00:04It'd be easier if we could prove she's the lagger.
00:06Of course she is.
00:07Yeah, I know that. We have to prove it and convince the others.
00:11Well, maybe I could help.
00:12How?
00:13Well, Mari talks to me. She doesn't think I'm with you.
00:16I don't think she'll admit to being the lagger, but she could let something slip that might be useful.
00:20Well, I happen to know a good mate of yours who's a lagger.
00:23Num mates wouldn't lag on us.
00:24Not on you, maybe, but they'd lag.
00:27We've all been wondering why Doreen's been acting so strange since she got back.
00:31Are you saying the door's a lagger?
00:33Too bloody right I am.
00:36I just had a visitor. Someone who just got out of Barnhurst.
00:39And she told me that Doreen was Vera Bennett's tame little dog and couldn't keep her mouth shut about anything.
00:45You're just telling us this to get the heat off yourself.
00:47We don't give a damn what happens at Barnhurst. We've got a lagger here.
00:51Yeah, and you're a bloody liar.
00:53Shut up, Lizzie.
00:54Hey, you're not going to let her get away with that, are you, saying the door's a lagger?
00:58She's got no choice because she knows it's true.
01:00Not the way you say it.
01:02No, but she lagged, didn't she?
01:07Yeah.
01:07Here we go, ladies.
01:13Oh, it's about time, huh?
01:15Change.
01:16Thank you very much. A person could die a thirst waiting for it.
01:18Hey!
01:20We never got this at work with, I can tell you.
01:22I can imagine that.
01:23We made some, though.
01:25Nearly killed us.
01:27Right.
01:27What shall we drink to, ladies?
01:31Let's drink to us, huh?
01:33To us.
01:33And, Uncle Archie.
01:36Let's not forget the horse, either, ain't we?
01:38Are you all right, ma'am?
02:08Yeah, I'm fine. I just have to go to the loo, that's all.
02:12Hey, Uncle Arch.
02:13What's that, Lodge?
02:15Congratulations, Uncle Arch.
02:16Thanks, Jeff.
02:17Hello, Laurie.
02:18Oh, hello, Uncle Arch.
02:19This is my mother.
02:20Oh, I'm pleased to meet you, Mrs...
02:22Judy. Everyone cross me, Judy.
02:24It's OK by me, Judy.
02:25Well, what are we all drinking?
02:27Well, nothing at the moment, thanks, Uncle Arch.
02:28Mum and I have to go.
02:29Go? Already?
02:30Well, he's back in a second.
02:32Oh, yeah, I see what you mean.
02:34Well, I'll have the champers lined up when you get back.
02:36Patty, you'd remember the day...
02:39I thought most of the women liked Dory.
02:57I suppose so, but that's not the point.
02:59I can't stop treating her as a friend
03:00just because she made a mistake at Barnhurst.
03:03Look, Doc, there's one thing
03:04that gets handed into everyone's heads,
03:06and they all know it.
03:07There's no lagging to the screws.
03:09Even if she was threatened?
03:11If everyone went running to the screws
03:12when they thought they were being threatened,
03:14we'd be stuffed completely.
03:15There's us and there's them.
03:17The screws go home at night and we live here.
03:19Yes, well, I understand that,
03:21but it seems a bit harsh,
03:23especially when we don't know what happened at Barnhurst.
03:26We don't know all the circumstances.
03:28Well, that's why she's walking around
03:30with only one busted arm.
03:31If anyone lags on us in here,
03:32we'll find out about it sooner or later.
03:34What would you do?
03:35With a lagger.
03:37Anything we want.
03:38Surely you wouldn't do anything drastic, would you?
03:41Listen.
03:41Lagging is like fizzing on your mates outside.
03:44Fizzing?
03:44Dobbing your mates into the cops.
03:46Now, I'm in here for killing one of those.
03:48Go work it out for yourself.
03:49Those bloody earrings are killing me.
03:54Come on, Mum.
03:54What is it?
03:55Nothing, love.
03:57I saw you in there.
03:58You were really scared.
04:00And you're still shivering, too.
04:02It's nothing, darling.
04:03I just saw someone there I know.
04:05That's all.
04:06Well, who was it?
04:07No one.
04:07Just some bastard I don't want to run into.
04:10Well, who is he, Mum?
04:13He's an ex-screw, love.
04:15He's that man that hurt my friend, if you remember.
04:18I see.
04:20Well, which one is he?
04:22There's nothing you can do about it.
04:24Look, all I want to do is go out there and see if it's safe to go back, all right?
04:28Yeah, all right?
04:30He's at the bar.
04:31He's at the end of the bar.
04:32A big man with a leather jacket.
04:35Okay.
04:47Well, he's not there now, Mum.
04:49Look, I'm afraid we'll just have to go back to the others.
04:51Darling, I don't want to go out there.
04:53Look, I know you don't.
04:55We'll make some sort of excuse to Uncle Arch and we'll get away as soon as possible.
04:58I promise.
05:00Just we'll have to make some sort of a toast to his win.
05:02You'll be all right with Jeff and Uncle Arch.
05:05I love that, kid.
05:10Thanks, honey.
05:12We'll look after you, Mum.
05:13You wanted to see me, Mr Davison?
05:21Yes.
05:21Have you seen the Gazette?
05:22I didn't even know it had arrived.
05:24Well, that's good because the department seems to be showing more interest in correct procedures
05:30than correct proprieties.
05:31Well, is there some sort of a problem?
05:32Yes, we look like having another senior staff problem thrust upon us.
05:36Oh, no.
05:37What is it this time?
05:37Oh, nothing you need worry about.
05:39I am Deputy Governor.
05:40Any staff problem is my concern.
05:42Yes, I realise that.
05:44But this time, you are the cause of the problem.
05:48Congratulations, Jim.
05:49You've been promoted to Governor of Beechmont.
05:51I'm glad I was able to tell you personally before you saw it in the Gazette.
05:57You mean they Gazetted it and they hadn't even told you?
05:59Yes, I'm afraid so.
06:00Well, will you be able to find a replacement for me before I go?
06:03Well, unfortunately not because you take up your new duties in two days' time.
06:07In two days?
06:08Well, I can't pretend that I'm not happy about it, but what a way to run the department.
06:12I agree, but congratulations anyway.
06:14I suppose we'll be able to muddle through somehow.
06:16All right.
06:17Well, now that we've toasted the champion, when do we get to go have a look at her?
06:25Any time you like, Judy.
06:26How about now?
06:27Steady on.
06:28We've still got half a bottle left yet.
06:30Well, I'm afraid I'm not much of a champagne drinker.
06:32I think what I need is some fresh air.
06:34Tell you one thing, lad.
06:35We'll have to get rid of these women if we want to do any steady drinking.
06:38I don't know, Uncle Arch.
06:39It would be a hard choice.
06:40It's the trouble with the younger generation.
06:42They're always thinking of the same thing.
06:45Come on, Judy.
06:45I'll show you what a real champion looks like.
06:48Not that the air in the stable will be that fresh, mind you.
06:53Hey, don't forget that champagne, Jeff.
06:55Not your nephew for nothing, Uncle Arch.
06:57Cheeky bugger.
06:58Sorry, love.
06:59That's all right.
07:00Where I come from, that's polite conversation.
07:02Have a look at that for us, will you?
07:19Finest stock and more spirit than a gin shop.
07:25Well, she's so beautiful.
07:27It's a heat.
07:27Oh, sorry.
07:28I should have known.
07:29It's a bit hard to tell from this end, though.
07:31Are you feeling a bit better now, Mum?
07:33Look, love, I'm just a bit giddy, that's all.
07:35I think it was the excitement.
07:36How about we go to a nice, fancy restaurant for tea tonight, eh?
07:40You mean dinner?
07:41He's talking about food.
07:43I don't care.
07:44You going to be in it, Judy?
07:46Yeah, I don't see why not.
07:47I think I can afford a slap-off meal now.
07:49Afford it?
07:49Hell, of course you can.
07:51This one's on the winner.
07:51No, no.
07:52Now, look, no argument.
07:54Here, Frank, pop this, sir.
07:55You can do a bit of celebrating yourself after you finish looking after my boy.
08:03Thanks, Mr Maynard.
08:04Come on, you lot.
08:05Bye-bye.
08:05See you.
08:25That's what I call a real fine-looking animal.
08:29Yeah, he's one of the best.
08:31Mr Maynard, do you know more at home like him?
08:33Oh, nothing comes close to him.
08:34Just a few to liven the place up, you know?
08:37He's a breeder, then, is he?
08:38Oh, yeah, of cows.
08:40Mostly Stud Hereford.
08:42Yeah.
08:43You wouldn't know, Mr Maynard.
08:45I've got mutual acquaintance.
08:46Actually, what I wanted to do was congratulate my money's win,
08:49but when I was on with his family and all, I didn't want to put in.
08:52It wasn't quite his family.
08:53My young Jesse's nephew.
08:54Yeah, and the others were at Jeff's missus and his mother-in-law.
08:58I don't know, and I would have put it in any case,
09:00just to say hello, you know?
09:02Yeah.
09:13What are you doing here, Burns?
09:15Nothing.
09:16You should be dressed by now and having breakfast.
09:17I'm not hungry.
09:18I don't care if you're hungry or not.
09:20Now go and get changed and report to the dining room quickly.
09:23I have to go to the loom.
09:26You just said you were doing nothing.
09:27Yeah, but...
09:28No, no, no.
09:29Don't answer me back unless you want to be in trouble.
09:31No.
09:33Mrs Powell?
09:35What?
09:36I was wondering if I could work in the garden after breakfast.
09:39Why?
09:40Sick of being inside, that's all.
09:42Well, you're not here to do what you like.
09:45Well, I can't do anything inside but this arm anyway.
09:47You're well enough to work in the garden.
09:49You're well enough to work in the laundry.
09:51You will go and get changed.
09:53You will report to the dining room, and you will do it now.
09:57Well, move it.
10:00It's not fair.
10:04Morning, Mum.
10:05Morning, darling.
10:06Did you sleep well?
10:07Yes, thank you.
10:08It's wonderful having you here.
10:10It's wonderful being here.
10:11Morning, Jules.
10:12Morning.
10:13You two should be on your own, you know.
10:15You're on your honeymoon.
10:16Jeff had his way.
10:17He probably would have brought a couple of friends along as well.
10:20That's lovely, that is.
10:21Oh, well.
10:21Anyway, I reckon you're the next best thing, Jules.
10:24Well, thank you.
10:25That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me today.
10:27Must have been an accident, then, I'll bet.
10:32What's in, Mum?
10:33Yes, I'll have.
10:35Well, about that man at the bar yesterday.
10:39What about him?
10:42I'm a bit worried.
10:43Well, don't be.
10:45What do you mean, don't be?
10:46You were really terrified of him.
10:49Come on.
10:50Arch and I were there.
10:51He wouldn't have done anything.
10:53Oh, I don't know.
10:53I appreciate that, love.
10:55I really do, but let's not underestimate Jock Stewart.
10:58He's the most dangerous man I know.
11:00Well, there's nothing he can do to your hearing.
11:01Darling.
11:03No.
11:04I think it was just the shock of seeing him or something.
11:07Well, look, I'll tell you what.
11:08Why don't we just go down and report...
11:09Please, can we...
11:09Can we forget about it, huh?
11:11Sure, but it really wouldn't...
11:12Promise?
11:15Yeah, okay.
11:18This is my taxi.
11:20I'd better get a move on, huh?
11:21See you, Jute.
11:22Wish me luck.
11:22Good luck.
11:23Good luck, Mum.
11:24Thanks, honey.
11:25Bye.
11:25Keep your meat a-ticking, Gabby.
11:27I'll do the jokes, if you don't mind.
11:28You just look after the kid.
11:29Have a good day.
11:30Bye-bye, Mum.
11:31See you.
11:36Mmm.
11:37You are worried about her, aren't you, love?
11:38Of course I am.
11:40And she was really terrified of that man yesterday.
11:42Yeah, I know.
11:43It's just so unlike her, darling.
11:45I mean, she never gets unnerved by people like that.
11:48Oh, there must be more to it than she told you.
11:51Yeah, I suppose there must be.
11:53Maybe if I had a word with her, she might open up a bit for me.
11:56Hmm, you think so?
11:57That'd be very nice.
11:58What are you going to do about Doreen?
12:04Nothing.
12:04It can't go on like this.
12:06Either she'll crack or one of the other women will really hurt her.
12:08So?
12:09Well, that won't help any of us.
12:11Look, if you're really worried, why don't you go look after her yourself?
12:14I didn't say I was on her side.
12:16Just that they'll all suffer the repercussions if there's any unnecessary trouble.
12:20Maybe it isn't unnecessary.
12:21Maybe it's necessary to show people that lagging isn't worth it.
12:25Maybe it'll show our lagging how to stop.
12:28Do you really think there is a lagging?
12:31I know it.
12:32How will you find out?
12:34For sure.
12:37Stardust?
12:38I'll ask Jack what he thinks about it this afternoon.
12:41Jack?
12:42You mean Fitzwater?
12:43Shut up, that's not the kind of man you banter around here.
12:45You're seeing him this afternoon?
12:49I always pay my debts one way or another.
12:58Good morning.
13:05What the hell was that all about?
13:07Oh, of course, you've no idea, have you?
13:09No, I don't.
13:09You come charging me.
13:10Would you let me go, please?
13:11I think I deserve some sort of an explanation.
13:13You deserve an explanation.
13:14Oh, that's beautiful.
13:15What the hell's going on?
13:17Why couldn't you tell me?
13:18Couldn't you at least have had the decency?
13:20Tell you...
13:20No, not Lord Jim Almighty.
13:22Did you just calm down a minute?
13:23Tell you what?
13:24That you are going to Beechmoor.
13:25That you are walking out on me with no warning.
13:27After you said that you wouldn't apply.
13:29So that's what this is all about.
13:31Is that all you can say?
13:32I didn't say that I wouldn't apply.
13:34I said I didn't think I'd get the job.
13:36I didn't know the result until I walked into this place yesterday.
13:38And you expect me to believe it?
13:39I don't care whether you believe me or not.
13:42That's what happened.
13:43And why was I the last to be told?
13:44Oh, God, Janet.
13:45You don't care, do you?
13:46Not about this conversation.
13:47No, I don't.
13:48You just use people and then drop them?
13:50Look, Janet, there is a time and a place...
13:52Oh, that's right.
13:52Everything in the right place and the right time
13:54and properly discarded off and finished with...
13:56Listen, what's going on, you two?
13:57You can be heard of...
13:58Look, things have just got a bit out of hand.
13:59Talk to her, will you?
14:00Janet, you must realise
14:01we can't have this sort of behaviour amongst officers.
14:05Squabbling over personal affairs
14:06as though we're no better than the present.
14:08Just leave me alone, will you?
14:15Come on.
14:16What's it all about?
14:17I don't want to talk about it.
14:20Vicious birds.
14:24I sometimes think they're more trouble than they're worth.
14:31Come on, I think you should go back and see.
14:33What's it all about?
14:46I think you should go...
14:49now that we are all here I have an announcement to make although it will be
15:08of no surprise to those who have read this week's Gazette I'm happy to

21:59well no he's in town on his honeymoon
22:02oh so he did marry her
22:03oh you know Laurie
22:05well not really but he wrote to me about her
22:07oh is that a fact
22:08yeah
22:08the number of letters we got I thought he was illiterate
22:10well actually it was the only one I ever got myself I can assure you
22:15look uh I wonder if you could help me contact him
22:18um I didn't want to bust in his honeymoon
22:20but I've only got a couple of days left before I go back to New Zealand
22:22I can't see any harm in that
22:24they're staying with Laurie's mum
22:26hang on a minute I'll get you the address
22:28good
22:30you'd think they'd give us some rubber gloves
22:42oh you've got no hope of that
22:44well look at me hands will you
22:46they're ruined and they used to be me pride and joy
22:50alright Lizzie change the record
22:51gee am I glad to see you
22:56we've given you a hard time
23:00yes Bea
23:01two of them just tried to bash me in the corridor
23:03only Conway's frown them
23:05been limited up at this sweatshop have you
23:07we've been making out
23:09we don't get too comfortable
23:10I see you're still pushing kids around
23:13going soft on ladders are you
23:15you can think what you like
23:17you can even think I'm going soft if you're looking for a surprise
23:20come on what are you waiting for us all to starve
23:23well you could always eat Doreen's tucker if you like
23:26she doesn't seem to want it very much
23:27trouble with some people in this place
23:29they haven't got any manners
23:31I think it's wise to antagonise her like that
23:34Marie
23:35yes
23:35she doesn't scare me
23:37hey
23:39I see you had a few words with Marie
23:42so
23:43well you were sort of back in Doreen
23:45no I wasn't
23:47well maybe not
23:48but I think it's about time they lay off the kid
23:50and a word from you to the women might help
23:52you've gone for us haven't you
23:54sure I have
23:55what good's it doing at the moment
23:57another one wouldn't hurt
23:58you can always try
24:00it might help you know
24:01personally I've had a gut full of laggers
24:05there's one we've got here
24:06who's ruining everything we do right
24:07okay but it's not Doreen
24:09I know that
24:10so why not put in a good word for her
24:12you're asking the wrong person okay
24:14I've got nothing against her
24:15but you're asking the wrong person
24:17oh is that right
24:18let me know when you want a favour
24:20you'll be pleased to hear
24:30we have a new project to occupy the women
24:32well what is it
24:34the department is supplying a small printing press
24:36I can imagine the sort of tricks the women will get up to with that
24:39oh I think it's a bit early for judgment
24:40I believe it will give the women more variety in their work
24:43and perhaps teach some of them a new occupation at the same time
24:46well what sort of work will they be doing
24:48well just official papers and circulars
24:52well haven't we had enough trouble with forgery in here
24:54without giving them a printing press
24:55oh the plates for the official documents and forms
24:58will not be made at Wentworth
24:59so there shouldn't be any problem there
25:01well what sort of training will they need
25:02the department has hired a Mr Marnie
25:04he will instruct and supervise the use of the machine
25:07now as the machine is being installed tomorrow
25:09so soon
25:10yes I would like you to post a few circulars
25:13asking for volunteers Mrs Morris
25:14right I'll get on to it straight away
25:15thank you
25:16there is another thing Mrs Davidson
25:18yes
25:18it's about Doreen Burns
25:20she seems rather unsettled after that Barnhurst experience
25:23I was wondering if she could have some time alone
25:25you know perhaps working unsupervised in the garden might help
25:28yes yes that will be all right
25:31well she did speak to Mrs Powell about it
25:33but Mrs Powell didn't
25:34yes well I don't think there should be any problem there
25:36she can stay there at least until her arm is mended
25:39thank you
25:40right I'll get on to those notices for the printing press for you
25:43Mrs Davidson
25:47yes Miss Conway
25:48about the party for Mr Fletcher
25:50I was wondering if I could be rostered on duty at that time
25:53I don't really like parties
25:55and I can always say my own goodbyes later
25:57yes very well
26:06yeah can I help you
26:08yes I'm the solicitor acting on behalf of Sandra Edwards
26:11Mr Parker
26:14that's right
26:15yes all seems to be in order
26:18thank you
26:20if you'll just sign in I'll take you to the interview room and get Edwards
26:22what you doing that for
26:32oh all right it's enough
26:34if you're not trying to get someone around you can try it with me
26:36don't tell me the girls are fighting again
26:39I don't know what this place is coming to
26:41you know exactly what's going on
26:43and it's gone far enough
26:45really
26:45yeah that's right
26:47I know you're behind it
26:48just because Doreen loused up your petty thugs in Barnhurst
26:52lagging's the word I believe
26:54call it what you like
26:55I will
26:56course you know all about lagging at Barnhurst don't you
26:59survival's the name of the game
27:01you should know better than anyone what those bitches at Barnhurst are capable of
27:04survival is what they're capable of
27:06and I taught them everything they know
27:08it's only sticking up for meself
27:10sticking it up everyone else you mean
27:12I wonder if you'd be so cocky if you were on the receiving end
27:15without your heavies to back you up
27:17have you quite finished
27:19oh I haven't even started
27:21a lagger is a lagger
27:24everyone around here knows that
27:26and if anyone wants to wipe their feet on one
27:28they can go right ahead
27:29I do need to talk privately with my client
27:47you've got 15 minutes
27:50we haven't been very happy with you
27:58so I gathered
27:59when people work for us
28:01we expect them to work
28:02not tell us they're too busy
28:04when we ask a simple little service of them
28:06when did I ever say that
28:08that's the message we got back
28:09when we asked you to check a leak in the system
28:11that bastard Grace has been sniffing around
28:14the message didn't come from me
28:15as for Grace
28:16he's been here questioning me about Megan Arnott
28:18how many times
28:19twice he's been here more often than that
28:21doesn't surprise me
28:23he'd be screwing someone for a bust
28:25what do you know about it
28:27well
28:28we have got a lagger
28:30maybe she's been blabbing to Grace
28:32it all fits in
28:36who is it
28:38that's my business
28:39don't get up at you with me
28:41I wasn't Jack
28:43but if I'm going to deal with her
28:45then it is my business
28:46and you know I always take care of my business
28:48yes
28:49well I will give you that
28:50I suppose I'll be reading her name
28:52in the newspapers anyway
28:53still your part of the deal
28:55to come through
28:55I haven't forgotten
28:57still it would be nice
29:09to know who it's for anyway
29:10did Mr Fletcher say how long he'd be
29:16he won't be long
29:17can I help you Inspector Grace
29:19oh yes I hope so
29:20I've got information that John Fitzwater might be on his way here to talk to Sandy Edwards
29:23Fitzwater
29:24isn't he that hood that had Terry Harrison killed
29:26well he's the one we suspect had something to do with the murder
29:29yes
29:29oh he wouldn't be that crazy would he to come here
29:31he may not call under his own calling card
29:33well Edwards has got a visitor at the moment
29:35solicited by the name of Parker
29:37that'll be him
29:38yeah just a minute
29:38sign in first
29:39don't worry
29:40there's only one way out of here
29:41he won't get past us
29:42how are you going to get that inside
29:45won't they search you in here
29:46you leave that to me
29:48it's my deal now
29:49yes I must say it's a pleasure doing business with you again
29:53now Sandy
29:55yes
29:56I'm sorry about that misunderstanding that led to Arthur's accident
30:00still insane not having seen him for such a long time
30:05I don't suppose he mattered much anymore
30:07you know it's a pity we've only got a few minutes left
30:12you can have a bit of fun just like the old days
30:15Arthur wasn't like a normal husband to me Jack
30:20yes well I sort of figured that
30:22he looked after me since I was 14
30:26it's more like a father you know
30:28as well as the other thing
30:30Arthur was all I had left Jack
30:35you dead?
31:02just about
31:03get in over us will you
31:04well Sandy
31:08looks like our friend that's headed
31:10and that would be about as close to being caught in the act as I've ever seen
31:14he was self-defense
31:16Sandra what do you take me for an idiot?
31:17Inspector Grace
31:18this is murder I've never seen such an open and shut case
31:21you didn't see enough then
31:22look Fletcher you're letting your personal feelings about this man affect your judgment
31:25I got here first remember it was all over by the time you got here
31:28so what are you getting at?
31:30well it's obvious that Fitzwater was trying to kill her
31:31I had to drag him off he obviously got stabbed in the process
31:35and all your prisoners bring a knife into the interview room?
31:37it was his knife
31:38yeah that'd be right
31:39all prisoners are searched before and after interviews
31:41he had to have brought it in
31:42I don't believe what I'm hearing
31:44look Meg take care of Edwards will you
31:46get her to her cell get her sister to have a look at her
31:48now just wait a minute I've got a few questions for Edwards
31:50then you can organize it through the proper channels
31:52she's in no fit state to be questioned
31:54in this state is it just the health of your prison that you're concerned about Fletcher?
31:58look Grace you've been sniffing around this place long enough to know how we operate
32:01now you can talk to Edwards after she's been seen to
32:04I just can't understand how such a shocking thing could happen at Wentworth
32:15oh you've had killings here before Mrs Davidson
32:17I am aware of that inspector
32:20but a prominent criminal killed right under our noses
32:24yeah just a bit out of the ordinary I agree
32:26a bit out of the ordinary?
32:28look I've been dealing with these mobs for years
32:29I don't get surprised anymore
32:31or shocked
32:32well it's my job to deal with things that may shock the rest of you
32:36however I still can't believe Edwards' story
32:39well I know what I saw
32:40yeah you saw the tail end of it
32:42like what I'd like as a witness who saw the start of it
32:44look there's a couple of things about this whole business that bothers me
32:48I mean Fitzwater's style is to point the finger
32:51get someone else in to do the dirty work
32:53he's no fool that's why I've never nailed him
32:54what do you mean?
32:56well I can't understand how Fitzwater would think
32:58that he could just walk in here
33:00kill Edwards and walk out again
33:01I mean it's a hole in his plan
33:03it's careless
33:04well careless or not
33:05I know what I saw
33:06and that supports Edwards' claim of self-defence
33:09regardless of how much you want to put another feather in your cap
33:11by nailing somebody
33:12Mr Fletcher
33:13that's alright Mrs Davidson
33:14in spite of what most people think
33:16I am more concerned with busting criminals
33:18than I am with getting credit for myself
33:20and I must admit
33:22we've had one big bad criminal here today
33:25well and truly busted
33:26we are talking about a man being killed Inspector
33:30yeah
33:31well
33:32I might not be as cultured as you Mrs Davidson
33:35but I do believe in poetic justice
33:37we've got one criminal less
33:39I intend to drink to that
33:41is there anything else we can do for you Inspector Grace?
33:45yeah
33:47don't let Edwards leave town before the inquest
33:49it's nice of you to let me come out in the garden Miss Conway
33:53it was Mrs Morris who arranged it
33:55yeah well it's nice to get a bit of peace anyway
33:58you haven't got long
33:59make the most of it
34:00well that's okay I suppose
34:01just like to be on my own for a bit you know
34:03you're not on your own Burns
34:05I'm here to escort you
34:06what do you think I'm going to do out here
34:08with a busted arm and the dogs over the fence
34:10dig my way out
34:11don't be insolent
34:12I'll come back for you shortly
34:14I won't be far away
34:15so don't do anything silly
34:16how could I
34:17hello boys
34:33look what dog brought for you
34:36now take it gently
34:38gently
34:38oh good boy
34:40yes a little bit for the girl

34:43no no no
34:44gently
34:45come on
34:46yes
34:47that's really nice isn't it
34:49hmm
34:49yeah aren't you
34:50good boy
34:51yes
34:52no that's big
34:53it's too big for it
34:55just a little bit there
34:56come on
34:56come on
34:57there
34:58oh what a good girl
35:00aren't you beautiful
35:01I wonder what happened to Sandy
35:07I don't know Lizzie
35:08oh who cares
35:09you got any idea Kate
35:11hmm
35:12no no idea
35:13seems the establishment is going to give us a new interest
35:16oh
35:17when have they ever given us anything except problems
35:20well they're asking for volunteers to work a new printing press according to this notice
35:23yeah
35:24well that might break the boredom
35:26I might just put my name down for that
35:29yeah
35:29I reckon Dora would be in that too
35:32give her a chance to show her talents
35:33ah big deal
35:35so what do you reckon they're going to have us printing bank notes
35:37well at least to get us out of the bloody laundry
35:40yeah that's right
35:42hey Smith you might even get a chance to work a press again
35:44the laundry press will do me
35:49and I'll be taking that over
35:51as soon as I feel up to it
35:53how are you feeling Edwards
36:14I'll find things Mr. Fletcher
36:19well the sister will be back soon
36:21to give you a final check
36:22after that you'll be allowed out of here
36:24thanks
36:25I suppose the women will look upon you as some sort of a heroine now
36:29what was the connection between you and Fitzwater
36:36he had a business deal going
36:40what sort of deal
36:41I paid him so that I could stay in business
36:46is that all
36:47he had my husband killed
36:52are you sure of that
36:55he admitted it
36:58to teach me a lesson
37:01because
37:01he thought I wasn't cooperating
37:04as his contact in Wentworth
37:06he could have gone to the police
37:08what for
37:10they knew
37:11they know about others too
37:13but they'd never be able to get enough on him
37:14for even a parking ticket
37:15did you plan to kill him?
37:27does it matter?
37:28I don't really know
37:31what would have happened to you
37:34if you'd kept on refusing to cooperate?
37:40same as Arthur
37:42point the finger
37:44and sooner or later I'm dead
37:46he was all I had
37:54in this miserable bloody world
37:56there was only Arthur left
38:00it's a shame such a terrible thing happened during Jim's last hours here
38:23yes well I can't understand
38:24I can't understand how a man like Fitzwater can just walk in here
38:26he's done it before
38:27are you sure Mr. Faulkner?
38:30I checked the visitors books
38:31he's been in twice under the name of Parker
38:33could have used other names but we'll never know now
38:36to see Edwards
38:36to see Edwards
38:37that young lady has some rather disturbing secrets
38:40she's a murderer
38:42yes that's why she's here
38:44I mean today that was murder
38:46that would depend on the coroner's verdict
38:47look I think a change of subject
38:50would be appropriate for Jim's party
38:51don't you think?
38:52agreed
38:53is everything in order Mr. Fletcher?
39:02yes everything ship shape
39:04as Captain Faulkner here might say
39:05good then consider yourself relieved of duty
39:07and enjoy the party
39:09thank you I will
39:09oh here you are Governor
39:11this should help
39:12thanks Meg
39:13hasn't got much of a head on it
39:14oh a beer drinker eh?
39:16so you don't want to wait?
39:17oh well I've got to be sociable haven't I?
39:20I'm sorry to see you go Jim
39:22although I'm pleased to see you get what you want
39:24yes I must admit it's going to feel a bit strange for a while
39:26still it opens up a few opportunities around here
39:29yes that's just it
39:30who's going to take up those opportunities?
39:32surely you'll be applying
39:32yes but I'm two rungs down the ladder remember
39:35so was Vera when she got Barnhurst remember?
39:38true
39:39however I don't see myself as that sort of material
39:41oh no come on come on you apply me
39:44and if they don't give it to you
39:45then they're crazier than I thought
39:46there'll be lots of other applicants
39:48true but it doesn't alter my opinion
39:50in fact why don't you come with me
39:51and give me a hand at Beechmont
39:52thanks Jim but I think I get homesick for this place
39:55oh really?
39:55someone must need a refill by now I suppose
39:57there you go
39:59no I'd love to have you out there Meg
40:00oh Dodd did you hear about the printing press?
40:05what printing press?
40:06they've got a new printing press
40:07and they're setting it up in the workshop
40:09and they're asking for volunteers to work on it
40:11yeah?
40:11could be good for you with your special talents
40:14oh yeah she could print up lists of everything that we're doing
40:17and give each of the screws a copy
40:18why don't you keep your traps shut?
40:21why don't you tell your little playmate that
40:23she's the one who's always shooting her mouth off
40:25oh get off my back
40:27oh poor little sourpuss is offended
40:29hey I'm surprised they didn't invite you to Fletcher's send-off party
40:34ignore her Doreen
40:35it's not easy Bea
40:36yeah well what is?
40:37what about the printing press?
40:39I don't know I'll have to think about it
40:41well don't let your enthusiasm carry you away
40:43you can't spend the rest of your life moping about you know
40:47well I might have other interests
40:49such as?

41:06and they won't let anyone near her
41:07what for?
41:09I don't know
41:10but I saw Fletch coming out of there a little while ago
41:12and he looked as though he had quite a lot on his mind
41:15maybe she was giving him a going away present
41:18of course she doesn't waste any time does she?
41:24it's up to you
41:25okay okay
41:26okay how about a bit of order please
41:28sorry to have to do this to you
41:30but Jim wants to say a few words
41:32I knew somebody was going to do this
41:33well I told him not to interrupt the party
41:35but I'm afraid he insisted
41:36oh yeah
41:37well how about a few official words?
41:39well I can't be official
41:40I don't work here anymore remember?
41:41well how about a farewell speech then?

42:34Audrey Fletcher's gone yet
42:37well good riddance if he has
42:39they'll probably just replace him with another one
42:41I wouldn't mind applying for that job myself
42:44I'd rather fancy myself as a deputy governor
42:47it's true if that happened
42:49I'd have to go over the wall
42:51but this place would be real good then
42:52I mean if we were running it
42:54well you've got fat chance of that
42:56I wasn't talking to you
42:57no of course not

42:59I am sick of hearing that tune from you winter
43:02now why don't you lay off
43:04who's gonna make me

43:11Bea
43:12you hear that girls
43:13there's a lot of big talk flying around tonight
43:15I think a few people need reminder of their position

44:19and things were different then
44:25on the inside
