00:00What's this?
00:02Oh, that.
00:03I found it in Tinker's room.
00:06It's a going-away present.
00:08Have a look inside.
00:09$2,000.
00:10Why would she leave this behind?
00:13She left this note.
00:16She wants it to spend it in the way that Maxime would like.
00:19It's her cut of the robbery.
00:22Wally, what the hell are we going to do with it?
00:28How is she, Doc?
00:30Not too good, I'm afraid, Bea.
00:34With Lizzie's heart condition, all we can do is wait and hope.
00:51Why don't you show me how to do that, Doc?
00:53I can manage Lizzie.
00:54Look, I know how you feel about it, Bea, but there's nothing you can do, really.
00:56Well, I'm not budging from her side, so you might just as well.
00:59All right.
01:01How is she?
01:02Oh, I don't know.
01:05I don't know anything.
01:06Just wish this was a bad dream and I could wake up in a minute.
01:08I don't know what you mean.
01:10Scott's wearing himself into a frazzle, too.
01:12All we can do is just wait.
01:13She's dead, isn't she?
01:18What do you want, Hunt?
01:19Lizzie.
01:20She snuffed it, hasn't she?
01:21And I'm going to be next.
01:23All because you put me in that lousy, bloody cell with a...
01:26That's enough.
01:27Nobody's dead.
01:28Now, why don't you make yourself useful?
01:30We're running out of clean linen and I'm sure you can find someone in the laundry to help you.
01:34You don't need clean sheets for dead people.
01:36And that's what we all are, you know?
01:38Dead.
01:39Before this is finished, this place is going to be bold.
01:42It's bold.
01:42And I don't want to...
01:43I don't want to wake up like that.
01:44Now, who's going to die, Lizzie?
01:47Now, shut up.
01:48Get out of here.
01:53You all right?
01:55She's not going to die, Doc, because I'm not going to live her.
01:59Scott.
02:05The fever's broken.
02:09It's crazy, isn't it?
02:13Maxine died for this money and there's nothing we can do with it.
02:16Yes, we can.
02:17We can give her back.
02:19Well, that'd be like stabbing her in the back.
02:22Doesn't seem fair that it would end like this after all she's been through.
02:26But top it off, her family couldn't care about her.
02:28Oh, we can't be sure about that, can we?
02:29Oh, come on, Wally.
02:31The only reason she ended up in the slammer last time was because of that sanctimonious brother-in-law of hers and that bitch of a sister.
02:37It's just not fair, that's all.
02:40All right, all right.
02:40I agree with you.
02:41But what are we going to do?
02:43All right, I know.
02:44Let's just talk about the error.
02:46Good girl.
02:47What are we going to do with the data?
02:49Well, we can't take it to the police, can we?
02:51And tell them we found it in a rubbish bin somewhere.
02:54All right.
02:55We give it back to the factory.
02:59That's a really good idea.
03:01We give it back to the factory.
03:02The factory owner keeps the money, then he claims it on the insurance.
03:05Oh, brother.
03:07You're a real crook, you know that?
03:08Well, I've learned from the best.
03:10Tell you what we do.
03:12We give it to the insurance company.
03:14Now, what could be wrong with that?
03:17Nothing, I suppose.
03:18Right.
03:20I'll take care of it.
03:21I've got to go out anyway.
03:22I want to check some lead for the police.
03:24And I won't be happy until this money's out of the house.
03:28Thanks, Wally.
03:29From me and Maxine.
03:34Scott.
03:35It's all right.
03:36You're going to be fine.
03:38I feel so weak.
03:40Hey, don't try to talk.
03:42Just rest.
03:43Okay?
03:45I feel a bit redundant here, Mrs. Powell.
03:47Perhaps I'd be more help in the laundry.
03:49All right.
03:50If you don't mind.
03:51Well, no, of course not.
03:53I didn't always have a silver spoon in my mouth, you know.
03:55Okay.
03:59How is she now?
04:00Well, she doesn't seem much better.
04:02I suppose we're lucky we're not all done with it.
04:05Yeah.
04:05Listen, you haven't seen Wendy Sharp this morning, have you?
04:07I thought she was going to relieve you in here.
04:09Well, she was.
04:10But I haven't seen her since early yesterday.
04:11Neither have I.
04:13Could be in the hospital with Sister Kelly.
04:15I'll go and check.
04:15Who is she?
04:25No change.
04:27She'll pull through.
04:28I know Lizzie.
04:31Oh.
04:32Oh, God.
04:33My head.
04:34I feel like I've been on a week-long pub crawl.
04:40Welcome back.
04:41How do you feel?
04:44Oh.
04:45Starving.
04:48Oh, I'd love a piece of steak.
04:54Mr. Wallace, sit down.
04:57How are things going?
04:58I know you've got a vested interest, Mr. Wallace, and I appreciate your concern, but
05:01there's not a lot I can tell you.
05:02What about Harry?
05:03Have you heard anything?
05:04We thought we had something.
05:06One of the civilian victims was a known fence around the docks area.
05:09Stolen goods, huh?
05:10Not just stolen.
05:11Smuggled, mostly.
05:13Did a roaring trade with the illicit stuff the seamen brought in.
05:16Oh, he should know this Harry character.
05:18That's what we thought.
05:19We questioned him out at the infectious diseases unit.
05:21He wasn't able to say very much, but it appears that he was dealing with this sailor from
05:25Africa, and there's not much to go on.
05:27Brady, huh?
05:28Well, could we go and see him again?
05:29Maybe get an address.
05:31He won't be telling us anything else, Mr. Wallace.
05:34He died during the night.
05:39Mrs. Power?
05:41I think you'd better come to the laundry.
05:43I'm sorry, I'm just on the way past.
05:44Mrs. Power, please.
05:45I've already checked.
06:01She's dead, I'm afraid.
06:08Who the hell is Harry?
06:10Bug it if I know.
06:11Every lead finishes in the dead end.
06:13Yeah, we're not having much luck, are we?
06:15Oh, well, Dan, that'll get you down.
06:17I can't help it, Wally.
06:18I'm worried about being Lizzie.
06:21There's no picnic for me either, you know.
06:22Anyone want more coffee?
06:23No, thanks, love.
06:25I'll get it.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Something's just got to break soon, won't he?
06:30I hope so, I'll tell you.
06:33Walt?
06:34Yeah?
06:34It's a captain, somebody on the phone.
06:35Says you told him to call you.
06:37Beauty.
06:38This could be it.
06:39You're real worried about your mates, aren't you, Jude?
06:44Yes, I am.
06:47I'm sorry, Betty.
06:48I hope you don't feel I'm neglecting you.
06:50Oh, no, that's okay.
06:52Hell, I got a roof over my head and a bed to sleep in.
06:55I'm not complaining.
06:56When I was inside,
06:57the whole bloody world couldn't wait to twist the knife on my back.
07:01I'll clear this away for you.
07:02Thanks, Phil.
07:03Hey, I think we've got it.
07:04I think we've got the lead we need.
07:05You're kidding.
07:06That was Captain Todd.
07:06He reckoned one of his sailors jumped ship in West Africa.
07:09He didn't tell me about it because the bloke's name wasn't Harry.
07:12But it was Freddy, right?
07:14Freddy the Young, right.
07:15Now, I've got an address for him.
07:16This is the lead the police need.
07:18Well, what are you standing there for?
07:19Go and ring him.
07:22Get something to eat, Bea.
07:22I'll look after Lizzie.
07:24It won't hurt me to lose a few pounds, Doc.
07:27Let's keep it.
07:29Did you find, Wendy?
07:30Uh, can I see?
07:33What's the matter?
07:34Bad news.
07:39Well, that is at stake, but at least I feel human again.
07:45Good news, everyone.
07:46Miss Ferguson's out of danger.
07:48Her fever's broken.
07:51Well, if that's the good news,
07:53I can't imagine what the bad news is going to be.
07:56Come on, girls, please.
08:05Do me a favor.
08:06Just clean this place up a little bit.
08:07It's like a pigsty.
08:14Hazel!
08:15How are you?
08:16How are you?
08:17All right, Jude.
08:17Come on in.
08:19Oh, for heaven's sakes.
08:21You're the last person I expected to see.
08:25Well, you know me.
08:26Keep turning up like a bad penny.
08:28Come on in here.
08:31So, how have you been?
08:33Oh, fine, fine.
08:35Only I went away on a sort of trip, see,
08:38and now I've got nowhere to stay.
08:41They baggered up me social security, Jude.
08:44It's only temporary, but, I mean, I promised I wouldn't be here long.
08:47I just need somewhere to stay for a few days, like, you know.
08:52Yeah, well, that'd be fine.
08:53It's just that the no booze rule still goes here.
08:57Oh, I know.
08:57Oh, you still think I'm on the booze.
08:59Well, I'm not.
09:00I swear I'm not.
09:01I haven't touched it for months, as a matter of fact,
09:04and I'm not planning to, neither.
09:06Okay, well, I'll trust you,
09:08and I'd like you to stay, Hazel.
09:11It's just you'll have to tell me what you've been up to.
09:12I mean, I couldn't have the cops knocking on the door.
09:14Oh, no, no worries there.
09:15I'm clean.
09:16Wish it was as simple as that.
09:19Hazel, are you all right?
09:19Look, Jude, can I stay here or not?
09:21Sure, love.
09:22It's great.
09:24Third door on the left upstairs, huh?
09:26Thanks, Jude.
09:30I won't let you down.
09:31I promise.
09:36I don't think there's any need to tell you
09:38that you shouldn't be here, Mr. Wallace.
09:40You're not going to quote the book at me, are you, Inspector?
09:42I've got as much at stake as anyone.
09:45All right, I suppose we owe you for this lead.
09:46Thanks a lot.
09:48Are you sure this is what you're looking for?
09:49No worries.
09:50We call the airlines after your phone,
09:52as it seems our little mate up there
09:53flew into Australia just over a week ago.
09:55From Africa?
09:55Yeah, that's right.
09:57Look, I'm still a bit confused.
09:58The dead girl kept talking about a Harry.
10:01Where does he fit in?
10:02You tell me, but right now my money's on Freddie Deion.
10:07All set, Inspector.
10:08There's about 12 blokes living the place,
10:09but most are out or away at sea.
10:11Righto, Chris.
10:11You tell Rhys to cover the front entrance.
10:13We'll go on up here.
10:14Fine.
10:15I'm coming too.
10:16Now, look, Mr. Wallace,
10:17if this bloke is the one we're looking for,
10:18he's a heroin bushing.
10:20Now, he's not going to welcome us with open arms.
10:22Please, Inspector.
10:23Okay.
10:32Now, just do me one favor, will you?
10:33You stay right down here.
10:35Don't worry, I won't get in the way.
10:36I'll check upstairs.
10:37Let's go.
10:50Let me stick around.
10:51Let me stick around.
11:21Open up, please, sir.
11:35Come on, Deion.
11:36Open the door.
11:37Come on, Deion.
11:39Come on, Deion.
11:40Come on, Deion.
11:48Harry.
11:49Come on, Deion.
11:50Harry.
11:57But surely you can't blame the department for all of this.
12:01Oh, can't I?
12:02They had no right to admit us to this place while there was any risk.
12:05It's pure negligence.
12:06But they had no idea.
12:08Exactly.
12:09They have no idea.
12:11I'm out of pocket God knows how much.
12:13They're going to have to pay me compensation,
12:15or they'll find themselves up in court.
12:16Oh, for God's sake, Don, I've had a gutful.
12:19We've got enough to cope with without listening to a whinging,
12:22gutless bastard who's only out for himself.
12:24Well, I must say, that's charming language for a lady.
12:29And I use the term advisedly.
12:31You can use the term however you like.
12:34Now, whatever I've done in my life,
12:35and God knows I'm not proud of all of it,
12:37I've never sunk as low as you have in the last couple of days.
12:39What's come over you?
12:40You might ask yourself the same thing.
12:42I always suspected you weren't quite top drawer.
12:46Now you've proved it.
12:47Wake up, Don.
12:48Every one of those women has more courage in her little finger
12:52than you have in your whole damn body.
12:59Aren't you going to eat that?
13:01I'm not hungry.
13:02Oh, come on.
13:03It's not that bad.
13:04Try it.
13:05See, they've eaten all theirs.
13:07Good little girls, huh?
13:08I said I'm not hungry.
13:10God's sake, you're not a bloody nursemaid.
13:15Well, sometimes I feel like one.
13:19What do you mean by that?
13:21You know what I mean, Hazel.
13:23Oh, you think I'm back on the piss, do you?
13:25Well, why don't you say it?
13:27All right.
13:28I'm saying it.
13:30Jeez, I'm sick to death of people throwing the past up in my face,
13:34and I'm tired of being called a liar.
13:37Why don't you trust me?
13:38I told you the cops aren't after me.
13:42All right, I've got a few problems, but they're personal.
13:46So what are you going to do, throw me out of it, I don't tell you?
13:53I've done it again.
13:54I've no right to doubt her.
13:55You had every right.
13:58Beginning to wonder myself if she was drunk.
14:00What are we going to do, Wally?
14:03I can't throw her out in the street.
14:04She's got nowhere to go.
14:07Ease up.
14:08I'll go and have a chat to her.
14:18Any change?
14:20I think so.
14:23Is she...
14:24She's over the worst of it.
14:26Fever's about him.
14:27Oh, thank God.
14:30I don't know how she made it at her age, but she's going to be okay.
14:35Okay, Smith.
14:36Come on, it is time to get some rest now.
14:39How's this pal?
14:40I won't give an argument this time.
14:42Yeah, well, it's time I made a move to see you in the morning.
14:49Good night, Tony.
14:49Thanks for everything.
14:51Oh, what about you, Scott?
14:53Now that Lizzie's on the mend, you need some rest.
14:55Why not?
14:56We seem to be over the worst of it.
14:58I think we're going to make it.
15:08Come searching for grog bottles, have you?
15:10Well, go ahead.
15:13You won't find any.
15:16I just wanted to have a talk to you.
15:19Judy's worried sick about you.
15:21Yeah?
15:22Well, she's got a bloody funny way of showing it.
15:32Tranquilisers.
15:33The doc give them to me.
15:34My nerves have been shot since I lost the kids.
15:43The only trouble is, they make me pretty bombed.
15:46I can hardly see straight.
15:49Pity you didn't tell Judy.
15:51Would have explained a lot of things.
15:53Why should I?
15:54I'm fed up to the teeth making excuses to people who don't want to listen.
15:58I want to listen.
16:02Tell me about your kids.
16:04I lost them, didn't I?
16:11George got custody of them and took them away from me.
16:16Why?
16:16Geez, they were lovely kids.
16:23Never talked back to me or nothing.
16:31It was awful not being able to give them things.
16:34Because I wanted to.
16:36They deserved it.
16:37We were in the gardens one day.
16:43They wanted an ice cream.
16:45I couldn't give it to them.
16:47We were broke.
16:50Do you know what the little buggers did?
16:54They went off and picked the loveliest bunch of flowers you've ever seen.
16:58You see, George is right, really.
17:07I don't deserve them.
17:13Bloody no hope.
17:17You are if you think you are.
17:22I've got to see him now, though.
17:25I've got to.
17:28There's something I've got to tell them.
17:33They've got to know.
17:36Yeah.
17:38They've got to know.
17:48How long have you been there?
17:50No, it's the right.
17:53I don't even remember sitting down.
17:55Yeah, how do you feel?
17:56How do you fancy a cuppa?
18:00Tell.
18:01Yeah.
18:02I feel like I might keep saying that she wasn't going to die.
18:07There's a voice in my head that keeps saying,
18:09what if she does?
18:11Hey.
18:12If Lizzie does die.
18:13Hey, come on.
18:14She's going to be fine.
18:16Someone's obviously watching over Lizzie.
18:18It's the other one I'm worried about, you know.
18:26The other one that needs looking after.
18:28I'm all right.
18:31Now the worst is over, maybe you'll stop worrying about everyone else, eh?
18:33You know, I was watching you today.
18:40You really do care so much for that old lady.
18:47You're a wonderful person, Bea.
18:50You really are.
18:55Hey, Bea.
18:56You're a wonderful person, Bea.
19:26Of course, we can't go, but I'll organise a wreath from the women.
19:33And I thought perhaps something from all of us, too.
19:37Good idea.
19:38And that will please the women.
19:40This Maxie girl seems very special to you.
19:43To most of us, they're not just prisoners.
19:45We do get to know them very well.
19:47Some of those women have just been remarkable,
19:49the way they've handled this lesser fever thing.
19:50Yes.
19:52That's why it seems even more tragic
19:54when someone like Maxie dies so senselessly.
19:57She was only 20 years old.
19:58Oh, poor kid.
20:00Morning.
20:01Morning.
20:02Ah, coffee. Just for the doctor ordered.
20:04It would have woken you earlier, but when I looked in, you were out like a light.
20:08Yes, I could have slept standing up last night.
20:10Do you still think the worst is over?
20:12Well, everyone seems to be on the mend.
20:15Smart and Roberts have got no temperature.
20:17Megs take them to the showers, and then they'll rest in their cells.
20:20But as for Joan Ferguson...
20:23What?
20:23Quite frankly, she's driving me up the wall.
20:28She insists she's well enough to go back to work,
20:29but she's still running a high temperature.
20:31Well, then she must stay in bed.
20:33That's what I told her.
20:35But I just don't seem to be able to get through it.
20:37I'll have a word with her.
20:38Well, what happens now if no one else gets this fever?
20:41Well, we're almost through the incubation period.
20:43The next 24 hours could be the crunch.
20:45If we get through that, I think the quarantine will be lifted.
20:48Hi.
20:52Good morning.
20:53You up to rest early?
20:55Yeah, well, I didn't see much point in changing for the funeral later.
20:59You sure you don't want me to come with you?
21:01No, Wally.
21:02I'd rather you stayed here.
21:03I'd feel better.
21:05Anyway, I know how you hate saying goodbyes.
21:09Oh, just made it.
21:11How's Hazel?
21:13Well, you know Hazel, it's hard to tell.
21:15She wandered down this morning.
21:17She had a cup of coffee, but she wouldn't eat anything.
21:20She said she wanted to go to the funeral.
21:22Now, I think that's a lousy idea.
21:23She's too depressed.
21:25I don't think those tranquilizers are doing her much good.
21:27Well, they're killing her appetite, that's for sure.
21:30It's not just the pills either.
21:32She's breaking her heart over those kids.
21:36Wish there was something we could do about it.
21:39Yeah, but how?
21:40You've seen her.
21:41There's not a court in the world that would let her look after two little kids.
21:46I don't know.
21:47As I told her last night, I don't see any reason why she can't at least see them.
21:52A mate of mine's a solicitor.
21:54I think I'll give him a ring.
21:55Get him to check out the legal angle.
21:57Never know.
21:58We might get a lead on this George.
22:00That's a good idea, Wally.
22:02I mean, there must be something we can do for her.
22:05I just can't let her go on disrupting the house.
22:10Is she still okay?
22:12Yeah, coming along quite nicely.
22:15But I'm surprised Smith hasn't resumed her vigil.
22:17Yeah, well, I've just checked her cell.
22:19Fast asleep.
22:20Good.
22:21She deserves it.
22:22Hello, where's Joan?
22:23Oh, Meg took her to the showers.
22:25She's not the easiest person to cope with when she's sick.
22:29She's not exactly a lamb when she's well, believe me.
22:32Well, she's still running a temperature.
22:34I don't think she'll be turning to work for a while.
22:36How are the other two ladies?
22:38Well, Smart and Roberts.
22:40They're resting.
22:40Pretty weak, but they've eaten a good breakfast.
22:42Good.
22:43Look, don't underestimate this thing.
22:45It's going to take everyone a while to get over it.
22:47It's not like a headache that just miraculously disappears.
22:51Dr. Collins, where's your white coat?
22:54Pardon?
22:55Your white coat.
22:56All doctors should wear a white coat.
22:58I'm sorry, Pixie.
22:59I haven't had time for the niceties yet.
23:01But I must say, it's nice to see someone coming in here fighting fit.
23:05Oh, me?
23:06I wouldn't fight anyone, but I am fit.
23:09I've always been healthy, you know.
23:11I never even get a cold.
23:13I could wash it for you if you like.
23:15Huh?
23:16Your white coat.
23:17I'm here to collect the dirty linen for the laundry.
23:19Then why don't you do just that?
23:22Oh, right.
23:25Isn't it lovely that everybody's getting better?
23:27Yes, it's marvellous.
23:28If we get through today, I think the quarantine will be lifted.
23:31Oh, you must be so pleased.
23:33I can imagine how worried you were, especially seeing poor Petra so ill.
23:37I know if it was somebody I loved, I...
23:39Oh.
23:40I mean...
23:42Well, doctors do love everybody, don't they?
23:45Oh, well, not exactly love, but they help everybody, don't they?
23:49Yes, yes.
23:49Why don't you get back to the laundry?
23:52Yes, Miss Spau.
23:53She does go on a bit, doesn't she?
24:00Pretty hard to follow most of the time.
24:02But not all of the time.
24:04There is something between you and Petra, isn't there?
24:07I saw how you reacted when she collapsed.
24:09Well, I am her doctor.
24:10No, I'm not talking about a bedside manner, and I'm not trying to pry, but there are rules.
24:15Look, I know there are rules, but sometimes they're not easy to follow.
24:20So there is something.
24:23Look, I didn't say that.
24:24Look, I just don't want to say any more about it.
24:26If you want answers, perhaps you'd better talk to Mrs. Reynolds.
24:30That's all I'm going to say.
24:41Funerals give me the bloody creeps.
24:43We're all a bunch of hypocrites, anyhow.
24:45Who are?
24:47The people who turn up at funerals.
24:49They'll pick you out of the gutter when you're alive.
24:52And then they turn up at the graveside to moan and cry about how much they're going to miss you.
24:57What's the matter with you, Hazel?
24:59Maxine was our friend.
25:00I don't have to pretend that I'm going to miss her.
25:03Yeah, I know.
25:05It's not Maxie.
25:07But us going to her funeral's not going to help her, is it?
25:10Well, maybe not, but it might help us.
25:14God, you have to give yourself time to grieve.
25:16Anyway, if there's anything in afterlife, don't you think Maxine would like to know that we cared about her enough to say goodbye to her?
25:24Yeah, well, there'll be nobody to say goodbye when I die.
25:28They've said it already.
25:29Oh, for heaven's sake.
25:30Will you stop feeling sorry for yourself for five minutes?
25:33Have a look around you.
25:35Sometimes it's a pretty good thing just to be alive.
25:37Are you coming or not?
25:42We're going to be late.
25:43I don't know, Judah.
25:44I've got a splitting headache.
25:46Hazel.
25:47I can't, Judah.
25:49Just can't.
25:57What I am saying is I don't like being kept in the dark.
26:01I am the deputy governor.
26:02Colleen, I never meant to shut you up.
26:04Believe me.
26:05Then why on earth didn't you tell me?
26:06That's what I don't understand.
26:08I planned to, but suddenly we were plunged into this quarantine situation.
26:12I could hardly dismiss the only medical person on the staff, could I?
26:17Well, it can't go on.
26:18It isn't.
26:19Believe me.
26:21I've got Scott's word that nothing has or will happen between them.
26:24He just wanted to be close to her, that's all.
26:26Yeah, well, oh, God only knows what we would have done without him for the past few days.
26:33Exactly.
26:35And if he goes, how long do you think it'd be before we get another one?
26:38If we get another one?
26:40We can't afford to lose him.
26:42I couldn't agree more.
26:46Oh.
26:48I've been overreacting, haven't I?
26:51Perhaps a little, but you had damn good reason.
26:53Mm, yeah, and a bruised ego.
26:57Rubbish.
26:58You felt slighted and it's my fault.
27:01I thought you realised how much I depend on you.
27:05Well, considering the strain we've all been under,
27:08I think you've done wonders.
27:11Um, I think maybe we ought to adjourn this mutual admiration society
27:15before it gets out of hand.
27:17And we ask you to remember, Lord,
27:25that this was a child who often strayed from your path,
27:29and yet had a kind heart and a loveful life
27:32that endeared her to those who knew her well.
27:35Oh, Maxine.
27:37So we commend her soul now to your infinite mercy and love.
27:41Amen.
27:41Amen.
27:42I'm going to miss you, you crazy kid.
28:08Maxine.
28:09Excuse me.
28:37Yes?
28:38I wonder if I could have a word with Mrs. Daniels.
28:41Well, it's not really the right time and place.
28:44Well, I was a really good friend of Maxine's.
28:47We were through a lot together.
28:49I see.
28:50You're?
28:52Judy.
28:52Judy Bright.
28:54Well, you're from that Driscoll house, right?
28:58Well, you don't sound very impressed.
29:00Well, can you blame me?
29:02Maxine should have stayed at home with her family.
29:04Instead, she goes off to you people.
29:05Well, I'm sorry, but I don't think that's very fair, Mr. Rose.
29:10Carter.
29:12Carter.
29:13Roger Carter, huh?
29:15Her brother-in-law.
29:17Yes, that's right.
29:17Well, I know this isn't the time to air dirty linen, Mr. Carter.
29:22But if you and the family had been more understanding of Maxine, she wouldn't have had to run away.
29:26You don't know what you're talking about.
29:28We all loved Maxine.
29:30Yeah, well, you had a funny way of showing it.
29:32Her own sister didn't even come to the funeral.
29:34She's pregnant, Bryant.
29:36Her doctor wouldn't let her come.
29:37Oh, I don't know why I'm bothering to make excuses for you.
29:42Maxine was a disgrace of our family.
29:44A disgrace!
29:46Are you forgetting something?
29:48If it wasn't for Maxine coming for you and that money, you'd be inside right now.
29:52Shut up!
29:52I'm sorry.
30:01You're right.
30:05Maxine's dead now.
30:08We have to think of the living, don't we?
30:11Well, I'm glad in one way she is.
30:14She didn't have to discover what her family was really like.
30:22And there I stood with my foot in my mouth, and Mrs. Powell was looking daggers at Dr. Collins,
30:30and he looked like he'd just swallowed his stethoscope.
30:33Sounds pretty uncomfortable.
30:34Well, Pixie's pretty good at putting her foot in it, aren't you, love?
30:37Well, I'd better get back to Lizzie.
30:39How is she?
30:39Oh, there's no hurry.
30:40She's sleeping like a baby.
30:41I bet she'll be relieved when she finds out.
30:43And your wife and children, Mr. Maguire, I bet they'll be relieved too.
30:48Look, I'm a bachelor from way back, Pixie.
30:50No wife, or kids that I know of.
30:53Oh, what a pity.
30:54You'll have no one to celebrate with.
30:56Back up, Pixie.
30:57What's all this about celebrating?
30:59What didn't I tell you?
31:00Oh, well, Dr. Collins says the quarantine will be over tomorrow so we can all go home.
31:05Except for us, of course.
31:16Hi.
31:17How was it?
31:18Oh, you know, pretty gruelling.
31:23How's everything been here?
31:25Hi, Kate.
31:26The world's gone out for about an hour or so and your mate's really on a high.
31:31Who, Hazel?
31:33Has she been drinking?
31:34No.
31:35Can't smell it on her.
31:36Maybe it's them happy pills she's been taking for her nerves.
31:39Reckon I can do with a few myself.
31:41Oh, Betty.
31:41G'day, Jude.
31:46Oh, you're not still cranky with me, are you, for not going?
31:50Of course not, Hazel.
31:51Good.
31:52Listen, I've been thinking.
31:53There's no point in moping around here all day.
31:56Why don't we get out for a while?
31:58Head for the hills.
31:59You know, unwind a bit.
32:00Yeah, well, I don't feel like it.
32:02I mean, I've been at a funeral, you know.
32:04Oh, come on, Jude.
32:06I'll bet you Maxie would say yes.
32:08She doesn't want us weeping buckets of tears over it.
32:12Yeah, well, it's not just the funeral.
32:14It's the quarantine.
32:15It's everything.
32:16Well, why don't you get out for a bit?
32:17There's nothing you can do here but sit and wait.
32:19I can hold the fort here.
32:21Yeah, but the hills are so far away.
32:23Take my car.
32:25It's an old bomb.
32:25It goes like a dream.
32:26Hey, just put some petrol in it.
32:29I don't mind.
32:30Oh, come on, Jude.
32:32Just think of them trees and the fresh air.
32:35All right, stop the sell.
32:36I'm buying.
32:46G'day.
32:47How's it going?
32:48Well, at least I'm getting anything's in the right order now.
32:52What's the matter, kid?
32:53Is somebody giving you a hard time?
32:55It's my pay.
32:55Yeah, well, I didn't get half as much as I was supposed to, and I can't make head or
32:59tail of the slip that would in with it.
33:01Oh, show me.
33:02You'll see where it says deductions.
33:04Well, for a start, you only got half a week's pay.
33:06Then this is your income tax, deposit on your uniform, and staff social club.
33:11You mean they didn't make a mistake?
33:14I still don't understand.
33:15Well, look, I'll write it all down for you tonight when we go out for dinner.
33:18Dinner?
33:19And if you still don't understand, I know a little spot where we can park and spend all night
33:23working it out.
33:24See you later.
33:25But, Rod!
33:34Boy, would you get an eyeful of that view.
33:37Makes you feel pretty insignificant.
33:40Yeah, you're not wrong.
33:41It's so peaceful here.
33:43It's like another world.
33:46We've always loved it up here.
33:49When George and me was first together, we used to live up here, in the caravan park.
33:55Never had no money.
33:56But I was pregnant, too.
34:01I reckon it's the happiest we ever were together.
34:04Yeah.
34:06Well, it's been years since I've been up here.
34:09You forget how lovely it is.
34:11You know, I reckon this is the best time of year, the fall, with all the leaves changing
34:14colour, all the reds and the browns.
34:17Tell you what.
34:18We'll make an agreement that we'll come back here next fall, okay?
34:27What's wrong, Hayes?
34:31Hayes, what is it?
34:33Jude, will you take me away now, please?
34:37I want to go home.
34:38I'll take you out of your chopsticks.
34:56Rod, thanks very much, but I can't come.
34:59What are you talking about?
35:01Well, I promised I'd go and pay Mr. Wallace back as soon as I got some money.
35:04Why didn't you tell me you could come?
35:06Are you trying to make a fool out of me?
35:08No, honest.
35:08Look, you didn't even give me a chance to say no.
35:10Oh, so it's my fault now, is it?
35:18And how are you going to get to this close place?
35:20It's not very far.
35:21I was...
35:21Good.
35:23Then you won't have any trouble getting there.
35:25See you around.
35:29Let me know if she wakes up, Bea.
35:31Why don't you worry, Doc.
35:31You'll hear the cheering.
35:37I've watched you pretty closely over the last couple of days.
35:48You must be feeling very proud of yourself.
35:49Thanks.
35:50But I'm just doing my job.
35:54Yes, I know that.
35:57But I can't help wondering why, here, in a prison.
36:01Well, I suppose the obvious answer is that I'm needed here, and there are personal reasons.
36:09Oh, yes.
36:09I think she's lovely.
36:10Is it that obvious?
36:14Well, it's not too hard to say.
36:19Doctor, I don't know what your plans are, but rich people get just as sick as poor ones.
36:24I have a great deal of money, and not a lot that's useful to spend it on.
36:28If you had an expensive practice at a good address...
36:31Thanks, but I didn't go into medicine for the money.
36:36The integrity of the young.
36:38All right.
36:40If you change your mind...
36:41Thanks, Mrs. Henderson, but I won't.
36:52Hello, Bea.
36:56Hello, you old faker.
36:57Now, when are you going to stop bludgeoning and get out of that bed?
37:03I'll get away with you.
37:11Well, she certainly was a mess when you brought her back.
37:14I thought she was having a nervous breakdown.
37:16Well, you could be right, you know.
37:18She had one of those before and went with.
37:20I mean, she just doesn't seem to be able to cope with anything.
37:23I'll get it.
37:24Thanks, Mrs.
37:27Is Mr. Wallace there, please?
37:29Yeah, come in.
37:30Wally!
37:31Yeah?
37:33Come in and meet everybody.
37:34I hope I'm not interrupting.
37:36I know I said I'd be here earlier, but I took the wrong bus.
37:38Don't worry.
37:39Rosemary, this is Judy Brandt, who runs the halfway house.
37:42How are you, love?
37:42Nice to meet you.
37:43Would you like a coffee?
37:45Well, a cup of tea if it's no trouble.
37:46Betty?
37:47Yes, thanks.
37:50Might have known it'd be me.
37:51Well, you're so happy in the kitchen.
37:53This is Betty.
37:54She moans a lot, but she makes a great cuppa.
37:56Well, pleased to meet you.
37:57Likewise.
37:59Tea.
38:03Oh, don't bother about paying me back yet, you know.
38:06If you're short, wait for a while.
38:07No, thanks a lot, Mr. Wallace.
38:08I'd rather pay her back now.
38:09Oh, you are a breath of fresh air.
38:12Come on, sit down.
38:14Oh, it is good to see.
38:15Now, tell me, how are you settling down now you've got a job?
38:19Well, the job's all right.
38:21Mrs. Beaton's a really nice lady, but...
38:23But no place like home, right?
38:26Right.
38:27I guess I'm just not cut out for the big city.
38:29I like the bush.
38:30Lots of growing room.
38:31Everyone knows your name.
38:33Well, why stay here?
38:35I know I wouldn't if I felt like that.
38:37Well, I can't let Dad down.
38:38I'd just be a burden if I went home.
38:41Besides, I rang him up last night.
38:43I guess you could say I told a few fibs.
38:47He thinks I'm doing well.
38:49He's really proud of me.
38:51Honey, one of the hardest things about leaving home is not having anyone to talk to.
38:55I already found that out.
38:58Well, I tell you what.
39:01If you're looking for a friend, or maybe two, we've got Wally and I.
39:06Isn't that right, Wally?
39:07That sure is right.
39:08None of those health fads.
39:15Booze and fags.
39:17I reckon that's what kept me going.
39:19Built up me constitution.
39:21Well, we'll talk about it when you fully recovered, Lizzie.
39:24Here you are, Lizzie.
39:25I have a surprise for you.
39:26It's a letter from England.
39:28Mrs. Morris has been holding it until you got better, but...
39:30I think it might help buck you up.
39:33Oh, bugger it.
39:34I haven't got me specks.
39:36Could you read it for me, Mrs. Powell?
39:40Right.
39:43It's from Nick Lawson.
39:45I knew that.
39:47He says,
39:48Dear Elizabeth,
39:51Your letters are a real treat.
39:53So much so that I figure 12,000 miles is too far for old mates to be apart.
39:58He's a real charmer, that one.
40:00Next month, I have to make a business trip to the East.
40:04And since it's only a hop, skip and jump from here, from there to good old Aussie,
40:09I've decided to pop in and see you and that family of yours.
40:12What do you think of that?
40:18God.
40:20No, he can't.
40:21Now, what am I going to do?
40:26I don't want to leave.
40:28I know it sounds ridiculous.
40:31But not right now.
40:43Not just yet.
40:44You know, you start telling yourself that you're used to being in here.
40:52And I'm having nothing.
40:55But it's not true.
40:58I get so tired of everyone leaning on me.
41:02I think at this stage, I forget I'm a woman.
41:09And that perhaps there's someone I can lean on.
41:10I need you, Tony.
41:15Okay.
41:17Don't go, not tonight.
41:19Stay with me.
41:21That's all we're ever going to have.
41:24I really want you to be, you know that.
41:29The officers.
41:32They won't check for a couple of hours.
41:35That's not wasted.
41:40You sure?
41:40I'm not.
42:07He used to give me roses
42:10I wish he could again
42:15But that was on the outside
42:20And things were different then
42:25On the inside the sun still shines
42:30And the rain falls down
42:35But the sun and rain are Christmas too
42:40When morning comes around
42:45Last night I dreamed we were together
42:50Sharing all the love for the moon
42:55Till I had to face the nightmare
43:01Awaken up alone
43:06On the inside the roses grow
43:09They don't mind the stony ground
43:15But the roses here are Christmas too
43:20When morning comes around
43:25And what may be
43:36On the inside the roses
43:39these tvs canto
43:40I would end to the 어�born
43:41ustedes may see
