00:00Killed him, Mrs. Beaton. He wouldn't stop and I hit him.
00:03Who?
00:04Rod.
00:05Oh, I didn't mean to kill him. I asked him to stop and he wouldn't.
00:10Oh, he's dead, Mrs. Beaton. He's dead.
00:12Maybe she's telling the truth and maybe she isn't.
00:16We'll find out sooner or later.
00:17But until that time, lay off!
00:21Miss Kay, I found this in your bedroom.
00:23Can you tell me where you got it?
00:24Well, yes. Rod gave it to me. I was going to pay him back next week.
00:28Is anything wrong, Sergeant?
00:30Yes, I'm afraid there is.
00:31Mr. Miller has accused Miss Kay of stealing this money.
00:35He also accused her of attacking him when he went to her room to retrieve it.
00:40Well, well, well.
00:43If it isn't the snake lady.
00:46Do you know her?
00:47This one's a real sweetheart.
00:49There's hardly a girl north of the city who isn't paying her protection money.
00:53Protection against what?
00:54Oh, she claims if they don't pay up, her old man will pick them up.
00:57Hmm, does he?
01:00Who knows?
01:02Who really knows?
01:03Because everyone pays up, don't they, Sonia?
01:05Everyone, including those pathetic little junkie bastards.
01:09Oh, and they can't win either way.
01:11Because she takes their money from them.
01:13And then she turns good old Jerry Turner loose on them.
01:18And have you got anything you would like to add to that?
01:22Not really.
01:23I think she's covered just about everything.
01:25So if you'll excuse me, I'll say goodnight.
01:28Good night.
01:28Good night.
01:28Well, I reckon we should have her guts right now.
01:47Well, I hate violence, but, well, she has done some pretty awful things, hasn't she?
01:52Yes, and she's going to pay.
01:53Oh, come on.
01:54She'll be a real pushover without a heavy boyfriend to look after her.
01:56Forget the bashing.
01:57That lady is no pushover.
01:59You could chip away all day at that block of ice and you get nowhere.
02:01Well, she'll bruise just like anyone else?
02:04I said forget it.
02:05There's more than one way of killing a cat.
02:08And I've just come up with a beauty.
02:09She must have had those hookers so uptight they'd jump at their own shadows.
02:12Right, Helen?
02:14You said it, sweetie.
02:15She makes the pimps look like everybody's fairy godmother.
02:18And that isn't easy, believe me.
02:20Right.
02:20That's what I thought.
02:21So we'd give her a taste of her own medicine.
02:24You mean play a game of nerves?
02:26That's exactly what I mean.
02:28Things are going to start happening to that lady.
02:30And she's not going to know who did them or when the next time will be.
02:34Oh, you mean like we pull a chair away when she goes to sit down, Bea.
02:38That sort of thing.
02:39Ah, sort of, Pixie, but a bit heavier.
02:41Oh, the lady's got class.
02:44I like it.
02:45I do like it.
02:46Well, I don't like it.
02:47I reckon it sounds like kids' games.
02:49Not the way we're going to play it.
02:51Things are going to really hot up around here for Lady Cool by the time we've finished.
02:55So do I have any suggestions to start the ball rolling?
02:58Then they hit her with it.
02:59Theft and assault.
03:01It's a first defence.
03:02Surely they'd let her out on bail.
03:04Oh, they would have.
03:05I offered to pay for it.
03:06But do you think Rosemary would let me?
03:08No way.
03:09No, she's too proud.
03:10Well, being charged is a fire cry from being convicted.
03:13That's not the point.
03:13She'll still end up in Wentworth.
03:15I know it's no picnic.
03:16Look, she's an innocent kid.
03:18She's down from the country.
03:19She's used to open spaces.
03:21And what's more, she believes in people.
03:24Oh, come on, Anne.
03:25Pull a few strings.
03:27Get a move somewhere else.
03:28I can't.
03:29There's no such word.
03:30Now, come on, you've got contacts, haven't you?
03:32But there's nowhere else to send her.
03:34She's a remand prisoner.
03:36That means Wentworth until a trial.
03:38You honestly believe that innocent kid should go to prison?
03:40Of course not.
03:41Look, I'd like to help Rosemary, but we can't be seen to be favouring one prisoner.
03:48You know that.
03:50No, I suppose not.
03:54Sorry to carry on like a bear with a sore head, but she's got nobody else to fight for her.
03:58She's got you.
03:59Who else does she need?
04:00I honestly can't have her moved.
04:04But I'll keep an eye on her.
04:05How does that sound?
04:07You're wonderful, you know that.
04:08Mmm, I know.
04:18Hazel!
04:19Well, bugger off, will you?
04:21I don't want to see no one.
04:23Come on, Hazel.
04:24It's Judy.
04:24Open up, love.
04:25I want to talk to you.
04:28Hazel, I can't stand out here all night.
04:30I'll be picked up for loitering.
04:35Hi.
04:37Well, how the hell did you find me?
04:39I got a nose like a bloodhound.
04:41I got a thirst to match.
04:44Are you going to invite me in for a drink or make me stand out here all night?
04:49Oh, hello.
04:50Are you coming in for a chat?
04:54You lied to me.
04:55About the charge?
04:57Like I said, I was told to.
05:00The rest was true, though.
05:01I was said that.
05:02For a good reason, it seems.
05:05I don't understand you.
05:07You've got brains, money.
05:09You could have helped women like that, not fleece them, had them beaten up.
05:13Bashings were Jerry's idea, nothing to do with me.
05:15It's not my style.
05:16Your style's to terrify people.
05:19It's a bit over the top, isn't it?
05:20Not from what I've heard.
05:25Look, I was bored.
05:28Being a cop's wife isn't so great.
05:30Long, lonely nights, no one to talk to.
05:33Then when he did come home, nothing but shop talk.
05:36Some people just don't know when they're well off.
05:40Petra?
05:47I'd like us to be friends.
05:49Forget it.
05:50Why not?
05:51We're alike.
05:52Both thinking people.
05:53That's where any resemblance ends.
05:58You're wrong.
05:59Look, we're both in here for a very long time.
06:01We ought to harness our brain power, work together.
06:04What do you mean?
06:05Well, I think we could make our stay in here a little cosier.
06:08You've got to be joking.
06:11I don't like what you've done, nor do the others.
06:15So I'd tread carefully if I were you, because you're right.
06:19Collective brain power can be pretty powerful.
06:21Thanks, honey.
06:37Oh, help!
06:39Hey, for God's sake, sit down.
06:42You're making me nervous watching you jump about all the time.
06:47Just like I said before, Jude.
06:49Just my nerves, you know.
06:51It's not your nerves, is it?
06:53Well, what do you mean?
06:56Hazel, why did you run away?
06:58We had a blue, didn't we?
07:00Yeah, we've had plenty of blues, but you've never walked out before.
07:03Well, I just want to be on my own.
07:07Think things out for a while.
07:08Yeah, but we were half sick with worry.
07:11We care about you, Hazel.
07:13I know you care about me.
07:14That's why I went back to the house.
07:18But I was doing no one any good, and...
07:20Look, why don't you just get out of here and leave me alone?
07:25Well, for starters, I don't think that you're well enough to be on your own.
07:31You left that at the house.
07:34So?
07:34It's empty.
07:35It's what was in them that worried me.
07:37There was morphine in that.
07:38So what?
07:39So what?
07:40That's pretty powerful stuff, Hazel.
07:42They don't hand that out for nerves.
07:45Hazel.
07:46You know you can trust me.
07:51Please, love, tell me what's wrong with you.
07:55All right.
07:58It's not nerves.
07:59I started getting these real bad headaches.
08:06My doc didn't know what was up, so he put me in a hospital.
08:12God, it was horrible in there, Jude.
08:15All them bloody tests.
08:17I had no one.
08:18No one was with me, and I didn't know what they were going to do next.
08:22I was so bloody scared.
08:29I had enough after a while, so I checked myself out.
08:32Yeah, well, you're not on your own now.
08:35Look, we'll put you in another hospital.
08:36What matter if is it?
08:37No, no, no more hospitals.
08:38You've got to go back, love.
08:39You've got to find out what's wrong with you.
08:41I found out.
08:43That's where I left.
08:46I'm spending the rest of my life in a bloody hospital.
08:49What do you mean the rest of your life?
08:52I've got a tumour on the brain, Jude.
08:59It's malignant.
09:02I can't operate.
09:06I'm going to die.
09:09I'm going to die, Jude.
09:12There's nothing no one can do about it.
09:22We didn't take your fingerprints at the station.
09:30You'll have to do your own.
09:31Yeah, that's fine.
09:32Okay, put your belongings on the desk over there and stand on the white line.
09:37Oh, come on, move it.
09:38Sorry.
09:39What did you say?
09:39Uh, I want you to put your belongings on the desk over there and then stand on the white line.
09:46Of course, I'm sorry.
10:00Your name is Rosemary Ann Kaye, is that correct?
10:04What?
10:06Your name is...
10:07Rosemary Kaye.
10:07Yes, look.
10:10I want you to listen to the questions, then just answer them, all right?
10:16You have been charged with theft and assault and will be held on remand pending a court hearing to answer these charges.
10:21Is that correct?
10:23I didn't do it, honestly.
10:24I haven't stolen anything in my life.
10:26Rosemary, you must answer the question.
10:30Is that correct?
10:31Yes.
10:33All right, I'll have to take your fingerprints.
10:35No!
10:37No, they do that to criminals!
10:38I'm not a criminal!
10:39I'm not!
10:41Good morning.
10:43Hi.
10:43Hi.
10:47How's Hazel?
10:49She's sleeping, thank God.
10:52I was up half the night with her talking it through.
10:54I'm sorry I wasn't here to help.
10:56Hey, forget that.
10:59It's knocked me through a loop, Wally.
11:00It's so awful.
11:03It's also so unfair.
11:05She's had such a rotten life now, she doesn't even have a future to look forward to.
11:09Well, at least you found her.
11:13Sitting alone in a caravan doesn't do anybody any good.
11:16Now we've got a chance to get her into a hospital, get her some proper care.
11:19No, she doesn't want to go to a hospital.
11:21She's going to stay with me.
11:22Here?
11:23At Driscoll?
11:24Where else?
11:26She's dying, Jude.
11:27You're not trained for that sort of thing.
11:29So what the hell do I need?
11:30Some sort of certificate or something?
11:31Of course not.
11:32Look, look, look.
11:32I care about Hazel just as much as you do, but do you realize what you're getting yourself
11:36into?
11:37It's going to get very heavy, especially towards the end.
11:39Yeah, well, it's not going to be a bag of laughs for her either.
11:42Now she wants to do this and I want to help her.
11:45I've got to help her, damn it.
11:46So think about her.
11:48Being here mightn't be the best thing for her.
11:50Come on, Wally.
11:51She's going to be here with people that care about her.
11:54Sure, sure.
11:54But you don't exactly just own this place.
11:56There are other women here.
11:57Well, so what?
11:58They'll understand.
11:59Well, they're all trying to defeat their own private nightmares.
12:03Perhaps they won't be able to cope too well with the idea of a woman dying in the place.
12:06They'll just have to cope.
12:08And maybe it'll be good for them too.
12:10They won't just always think about their own problems all the time.
12:12Ah, gee, look.
12:14Look, don't waste your breath, Wally.
12:16I've already talked to a doctor and he's giving her records over to Dr. Collins.
12:20Scott.
12:21Yeah.
12:22I want him to help with the medical side.
12:26I don't know.
12:28Like they always say, if you can't beat him, join him.
12:34Thanks, Wally.
12:35Well, look, if we all pitch in and help, it'll work out.
12:39You'll see.
12:43Rosemary, this is your first time in prison, isn't it?
12:46Yes.
12:48I don't know why I'm here.
12:50I didn't do what they said.
12:51Sit down.
12:53That'll be decided at your trial.
12:55Do I have to stay here then?
12:58No one of my family's ever been in jail before.
13:00Yes, I'm afraid you have to, Rosemary.
13:03Look, you're on remand.
13:04That means things will be a lot easier for you.
13:06You don't have to wear a uniform and you needn't work.
13:09In fact, you can spend a great deal of time in your cell if you like.
13:12I'd rather work, please.
13:15Well, that'd mean being with the other women.
13:17Now, I don't want to frighten you, but some of them do take a bit of getting used to.
13:19Well, I couldn't stand being cooped up all day with nothing to do.
13:24Please.
13:25If you're sure.
13:27All right, Mrs. Powell, put her on laundry duty for the time being.
13:30Okay.
13:30How you manage in here depends largely on yourself, Rosemary, but the officers are there to help you.
13:37Remember that.
13:39Now, wait outside, will you?
13:40I want to talk to Mrs. Powell.
13:41The women will have her for breakfast.
13:52Yes, that's what I'm afraid of.
13:53Keep an eye on her, won't you?
13:54Yes, Colleen.
13:59Yes, that's right.
14:01Riley there, collect Stevens and take her to reception.
14:03She's got a visitor.
14:04Another one?
14:05Yes, she's allowed as many as she likes.
14:07Ah, I beg your pardon?
14:10Not my idea.
14:11Departmental directive.
14:14Yes, well, it'll cause trouble.
14:16The women will scream blue murder.
14:17I know.
14:18There's nothing I can do.
14:20The powers that be have spoken.
14:22It certainly pays to have connections in the right places, doesn't it?
14:32Oh, what?
14:34Oh, I'm awfully sorry.
14:36I really am a butterfingers, aren't I?
14:38I think you'd better pick them up, hadn't you?
14:39Yes, of course.
14:41Oh, oh!
14:43It really isn't my day, is it?
14:44I knew I should have stayed in bed this morning.
14:46Look, just put them in the dryer and keep out of my way.
14:49Stupid little bitch.
14:50Roy!
14:50Hey, that's our mouth you're talking to, Stephen.
14:53Yeah, yeah.
14:54I'd watch my mouth if I were you, Stephen.
14:56And I'd watch yours, Smith.
14:59So what's going on here?
15:00Just work, Mrs. Powell.
15:02Get on with it.
15:03All right, this is Rosemary Kay.
15:05Find us something to do.
15:07Good Lord, what are we doing now?
15:08Cradle snatching.
15:10Stephen's brought to reception.
15:13We've got a visitor.
15:14Oh, another one?
15:16That makes two in two days.
15:18Good girl.
15:19You can count.
15:20Mind your own business and get on with it.
15:23What a visitor day, huh?
15:26Pays their friends in high places.
15:28Yeah.
15:29Well, she's going to need them.
15:32Oh, come on, love.
15:33Don't worry about us grumble bums.
15:35Welcome to our happy home.
15:38Oh, hello, Doctor.
15:39I didn't expect you so soon.
15:45Have you seen the specialist?
15:46Yes, I've just come from there.
15:48He's given me the whole history.
15:50Is there any hope?
15:52I'm afraid not.
15:53Huh.
15:56Look, I'm not much into cracks and people like that,
15:59but I have heard there are some miracle cures that...
16:00Jim.
16:03Yeah, I know.
16:04I'm just grasping at straws.
16:05Look, Hazel's had to face it too,
16:06and you will also,
16:08if she's going to stay here.
16:10All we can do for her at the moment
16:11is try and stop some of the pain.
16:13Will there be a lot of pain?
16:14Yeah.
16:15The myphogen won't help much after a while.
16:19And there are one or two other things
16:20you should know about.
16:22Like what?
16:24Well, it's not just the pain.
16:26One by one, she'll start to lose her faculties.
16:28Oh, God.
16:29Her eyesight will probably be the last to go.
16:31When that happens, you know
16:32the end won't be too far away.
16:33Oh, my God.
16:37Does Hazel know what to expect?
16:39Only about the pain.
16:42Look, why don't we get her to go to bed, you know?
16:45I mean, don't you think that way
16:46she can serve her strength?
16:47Not really.
16:48It won't help much in the long run.
16:49Well, there must be something we can do.
16:51The best thing to do is just be with her.
16:53Try and keep her spirit.
16:55G'day, everyone.
16:56Thanks.
16:56Oh, well, who's this spunk
16:59you've been keeping all of yourself, Jean?
17:00This is Dr. Collins, remember?
17:01I told you all about him.
17:03Oh, hi, Doc.
17:04Hi, Hazel.
17:04Afraid of feel too good for you
17:05to be trying out your bedside manner on me today.
17:08Got me doll check yesterday.
17:10I thought I'd bugger off down the shops
17:11and buy out big, you know,
17:13tart up me room a bit.
17:14That's a great idea.
17:15If you hang on a second, I'll come with you.
17:17And if we're lucky,
17:18we might get the good doctor here
17:19to give us a lift.
17:21Why not?
17:21Bag's the front seat.
17:22Well, it's good to see you, Sonny.
17:31Even if it is in here.
17:33Well, let's hope it's not in here for much longer.
17:35You wouldn't believe this place.
17:38Women giving you a hard time?
17:39Well, they found out about the racket,
17:40thanks to some happy hawker.
17:43I still don't hold out much hope for the appeal.
17:46Isn't Eddie organising that?
17:47My husband couldn't organise himself
17:49out of a paper bag.
17:50Besides, it would take too long.
17:51In the meantime, his copper friends
17:52would be digging into my background.
17:55There's nothing to connect us with the rackets.
17:57Someone could turn in for me.
18:00What do you want me to do?
18:02Nothing.
18:06If Eddie could just swing my release legitimately,
18:10that's still my best bet.
18:12And if he can't?
18:15I'll go over the wall.
18:18You want me to set that up?
18:19No, not yet.
18:19Just keep it in mind.
18:21Do you realise the money we've got
18:24from the racket would be a clearer?
18:26Going to stay.
18:28I'd like that, Jerry.
18:30Yeah, I'd like that too.
18:33You and me and 50 grand.
18:36We'd be laughing.
18:38All the way from the back.
18:41If you want to break out,
18:42you're going to need inside help too.
18:44Yeah, I know.
18:44I'm working on it.
18:46I've got a couple of things.
18:47Could be it.
18:50I've got another little dog for you.
18:52See what you can find out about Officer Joan at Ferguson.
18:54I wonder what's happened to Stephen.
19:06She's supposed to lose her appetite after we've finished with her, not before.
19:09That's what happens when you have all those visitors standing in line.
19:12She's going to be back by this afternoon because I've got a nice little surprise.
19:17What's up, love?
19:19Oh, I don't quite know what to do.
19:22It's all so scary.
19:23It always is the first time here.
19:25There you go.
19:30Well, now, don't look so jittery.
19:33Heaven's face.
19:34You're supposed to eat it.
19:36It doesn't eat you.
19:37They don't quite me on that.
19:40Okay, now look, you go over and see what Bixie will be,
19:43and I'll be able to make a tick.
19:44She's really nice, isn't she?
19:55What the hell are you, honey?
19:57Oh, really nice.
19:59You know, we always thought prostitutes were dreadful people.
20:03Prostitutes?
20:04She's a prostitute?
20:06Oh, yes.
20:07Well, not in here, of course.
20:09It's hard enough to find a man to marry around this place.
20:11They're to learn...
20:12Oh, you know what I mean.
20:14Oh, not that I'd try anything like that if I wasn't married.
20:18No, no, me neither.
20:20Yeah.
20:21Well, of course, everybody's really nice around here once you get to know them.
20:26These have been absolutely wonderful to me,
20:28and you wouldn't believe she was a murderess, wouldn't you?
20:33She actually killed someone.
20:36Yes, three.
20:37I was absolutely shocked when I first found out.
20:40I guess a lot of the women in here have done something pretty bad.
20:43Oh, yes.
20:45You know that lovely old lady you met before?
20:48What's Lizzie in Birdsworth?
20:50Well, she poisoned a whole heap of people just for the fun of it.
20:55I can't see her anyway.
20:59Of course she can't.
21:01She's our kitchen tutor.
21:06Oh.
21:07Oh.
21:09Pixie, what did you do?
21:11Oh.
21:11I didn't do anything like that.
21:14I just got married a lot.
21:21Well, you can fold some of those sheets for us, wouldn't I, Lou?
21:24Oh.
21:25Do you have a special way?
21:26Oh, come with me, I'll show you what you do.
21:28Now, Stephens, get on the sewing machine.
21:30That mending's piling up.
21:31I don't serve.
21:32Then learn.
21:34Any fool can thread a needle.
21:36Oh, I'm sorry, I must have fixed all kinds of things.
21:56Blowsy.
21:57Hey, do you want me to get it out for?
21:59No, just go a little.
22:00I can take a look myself.
22:01How did this happen?
22:03Oh, just an accident, Mrs. Pell.
22:04I, um, I had a disagreement with the sewing machine.
22:13Well, then you'd better see the doctor, hadn't you?
22:16The rest of you get back to work.
22:20Looks like it's round one to us.
22:22Yeah.
22:24I wouldn't count my chickens at all, are you?
22:26That laddie's no pusher.
22:30Isn't it a pretty colour, huh?
22:31Oh, jeez, Jude, you didn't have to buy me that, you know.
22:36Come on, what's a couple of bucks between friends, huh?
22:39Hey, get anything for me?
22:40No.
22:41Petty cash only stretches to one room at a time.
22:43I've been here longer than her.
22:46Yeah, well, next time it'll be your turn then, huh?
22:49Looks like she's staying for a while.
22:52So how come my mate wasn't allowed in the other night?
22:54Look, cut it out, Betty.
22:55Your mate was drunk.
22:57She also had somewhere else to go.
22:58That doesn't matter.
22:59Why is she always getting...
23:00Shut up, both of you, will you?
23:02If you're going to talk about me, talk to me.
23:05I'm still here, aren't I?
23:06I'm still alive.
23:07Hey, well...
23:07It's touchy, isn't she?
23:09Why don't you learn to keep your mouth shut and stop whinging for once?
23:13What do you mean?
23:13Why is she here anyway?
23:15Looks like she's got plenty of dough to flash around.
23:17Yeah, well, she's not going to have it for long.
23:20Hazel has a brain tumour.
23:22She's dying.
23:23Doesn't that make your little hassle seem pretty small?
23:29How on earth did you manage to do this?
23:32Believe me, it wasn't easy.
23:34All right.
23:34Here we go now.
23:35Just hold tight.
23:40Sorry.
23:42You're sorry.
23:45Now, I'm going to have to give you an anti-Tetanus shot, just to be on the safe side.
23:49Thanks.
23:51I feel like a regular pincushion today.
23:54Yeah, there's a lot of industrial machinery around here.
23:56You have to be very careful.
23:58Oh, I intend to be very careful in the future.
24:00There won't be any more accidents happening to me, I promise you.
24:10Oh, bugger it.
24:12You would have thought they'd send someone to replace Sonia.
24:15Why, looks like you're doing just as well.
24:17Well, come on, love, get these folded.
24:19It's now knock-off time.
24:20Oh, I can't.
24:21They're just not folding right.
24:23I'm going to fix it, Harriet.
24:24What you mean is you are not folding them right.
24:28Now, come on, share it a bit.
24:29It's very simple.
24:31You just fold them in half.
24:34And then you fold them in half again.
24:36Slumming, are we, Smith?
24:37No, just giving a mate a hand, Miss Ferguson.
24:40I do that sometimes, you know.
24:41Get back to your press.
24:42Kay, isn't it?
24:50Yes, Miss.
24:51Yes, Miss Ferguson.
24:52Yes, Miss Ferguson.
24:54You should fit in quite well, eh?
24:56You're just as clumsy as the rest of them.
24:58Yes, Miss Ferguson.
24:59Where have you been?
25:00At the toilet, Miss Ferguson.
25:01Get over there and help that useless half-wit.
25:03Oh, now, come on.
25:04We haven't had a chance to show her the ropes yet.
25:05I'll show her later.
25:07We don't allow wet nurses in here, Smith.
25:09You'd better learn real fast, Kay.
25:13I'll be checking your progress.
25:18Oh, don't, Rosie.
25:20Don't let her worry you.
25:21She's just a horrible lady.
25:23I'll never be able to do anything with her looking at me all the time.
25:26Oh, come on, love.
25:27You'll be all right.
25:29You're not all right, that bitch.
25:30Oh, she's supposed to be in charge.
25:32I thought the officers were there to help us.
25:34When you're talking to her, just act normally.
25:38You know, you don't have to walk around like zombies.
25:44Hi.
25:45Sit down.
25:45We saved a meal for you.
25:47I'm not real hungry, but...
25:49Oh, Hazel, you've got to eat.
25:52Anyway, Betty will be real put out if you don't eat, won't you, Betty?
25:55Oh, yeah.
25:57I'll put it in the oven for you.
25:58It won't be a sec.
25:59I don't want to be no trouble.
26:01Oh, it's okay.
26:02You wouldn't want us to have to eat leftovers tomorrow, would you?
26:04I thought it was leftovers.
26:07She's a real weirdo, isn't she?
26:09She got stuck into me about something the other day.
26:12The next minute, we were best mates again.
26:13Yeah, well, let's hope you stay best mates for a while, please.
26:16There you go.
26:18Saved an extra spud.
26:19Is that what they are?
26:20I've been trying to work it out all through the meal.
26:24Can't we go about my cooking again, Jude?
26:26Oh, you know I love your cooking, Betty.
26:29Well, go on, try it.
26:31What do you reckon?
26:40I reckon everything's just fine, fine.
26:44Well, come on, babe.
26:45Let's start cleaning up these dishes.
26:47Oh, yeah.
26:48I know you had to tell them, Jude.
26:55I'm sorry.
26:56It's okay.
26:58You've been real good to me.
27:00You made me feel like I belong somewhere.
27:04Geez, if I just had me kids, I'd have the lot, wouldn't I?
27:06Well, how are you going, love?
27:11Got any pears?
27:12Only one.
27:13But they don't seem to be much use to me at the moment.
27:15All they want around here are my typing skills.
27:17Oh, you cheeky little bug.
27:19What about you?
27:20You could have a flush.
27:22A what?
27:22That means having all the same soup.
27:25Oh, look, I'm messing this up for you.
27:26I only played...
27:27No, no, come on.
27:28You'll get the hang of it.
27:29Get a load of that.
27:33How's your finger?
27:35I'll get by.
27:37I always do.
27:44Honestly, Bea, that's on you frightens me.
27:47I've got all sorts of shivers go up and down my spine just then.
27:50Oh, God.
27:51Well, is this a kindergarten?
27:52Will you sit down, Pixie, and stop your whinging?
27:54Are we going to play poker or not?
27:56Yes, as soon as Rosemary makes a move.
27:58Now, come on.
27:59Oh, give auntie Bea a look.
28:03Playing nursemaid again, are we, Smith?
28:06Oh, that's very good.
28:08You don't seem to be having much luck, Kate.
28:10Why don't you leave the kid alone?
28:12I hope you weren't talking to me, Smith.
28:15Any kind of cheat can get you put on a charge.
28:19Get rid of that cow.
28:20Yeah, let's don't worry about her.
28:22Let's play.
28:23You'll have to excuse me.
28:24What's wrong now?
28:25I need to go to the toilet.
28:27Can you remind me where it is, Kate?
28:28Down the corridor and turn left.
28:30Well, you come with me, Lizzie.
28:31I don't want to go on my own.
28:32She might still be out there.
28:33Oh, of course I will, love.
28:36None of you buggers look at my cards while I'm gone.
28:40My cards anyway.
28:42I've got a lot of pain.
28:48Anyone for Scrabble?
28:50Hazel, you're going to help but Shirley and Betty with the washing up?
28:55No, I don't think so, Jude.
28:57I've got this thumping headache.
29:05I think I'll just go upstairs and lie down.
29:07Now, just a minute.
29:08Didn't you just take one of those pills at dinner time?
29:11Yeah, but it didn't work.
29:12Yeah, well, I'm sorry to play the heavy, but I have to take them from you.
29:16You can't do that, Jude.
29:17They're me lifeline.
29:18Yeah, I know that, but...
29:20Well, you know the rules here.
29:22No drugs on the premises.
29:23Not even prescriptions.
29:24I'll dole them out to you.
29:26But this is different.
29:28I need them pills.
29:29The pain is terrible.
29:30Hazel, you just can't pop these as though they were lollies.
29:33I'm not.
29:34Well, you don't trust me.
29:36That's it, isn't it?
29:36Because I trust you.
29:37Just because I was on the booze before.
29:38That has nothing to do with it.
29:41Look, Hazel, there are other women here.
29:43Some of those women are trying to kick hard drug habits.
29:45They find out you've got these pills.
29:46You're asking for trouble.
29:47I can't help that.
29:49Oh, do you think that's fair?
29:51Fair?
29:52What's bloody fair got to do with it?
29:54I need them pills, Jude.
29:57Well, what's going to happen when you're not here?
29:58I'll be here.
29:59Well, how do you know you'll be here?
30:02Well, sometimes I need one extra, you know,
30:04when the pain gets real bad, like now.
30:07It's like a bloody hammer in my head.
30:08It's banging and banging and banging.
30:10Hazel, stop.
30:11Hazel, please.
30:12You've got to take these things as they're prescribed.
30:17I'm real scared, Jude.
30:20What's going to happen to me
30:21when their pills don't take away the pain no more?
30:28You lot don't mind, do you,
30:29that I'm going to be working reception?
30:31I mean, it is something of a privilege.
30:32No.
30:33Give it what you can.
30:34That's what I always say, too.
30:35Oh.
30:36Well, where Rosemary and Lizzie are?
30:41They're taking their time.
30:42I hope that Miss Ferguson hasn't done something to them.
30:45She did look very nasty before.
30:46She always looks bloody nasty.
30:48Look, Rosemary's probably gone back to her cell or something.
30:50Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you a lot about that.
30:52We are not doing her any favours
30:54by doing everything for her.
30:56But you've helped yourself, Bea.
30:57I thought you felt sorry for her.
30:59Yeah, I do.
31:00That's just the point.
31:01She's getting worse.
31:02She'll have us cleaning her teeth for her next.
31:04Oh, but she's just so terribly scared of everything.
31:07I know, and that's the whole problem.
31:09She's not going to survive in here
31:10if she doesn't stand up for herself.
31:11Oh, she'll settle down.
31:12No, it's getting worse.
31:14You know what Malice was like?
31:15She'd been locked up here so long
31:17she was frightened of her own shadow.
31:18Well, Rosemary is starting off like that.
31:20So what hope has she got?
31:21What do you want us to do?
31:22Nothing.
31:23Leave the kid alone
31:25unless she really needs your help.
31:27Otherwise, let us down for herself.
31:37Good heavens, you're quick.
31:39I've always been a fast worker.
31:42Yes.
31:43Well, if you're as good at this as office work,
31:44why don't you take it up permanently?
31:47For one thing, the pay's lousy.
31:49For another, I like the job I had.
31:51Look where it landed you.
31:53That was a mistake.
31:54It won't happen again.
31:56You could make sure of that.
31:58I've got a friend who's looking for a typist.
32:00I could get you an interview if you like.
32:02Thanks, but no thanks, Mrs. Reynolds.
32:04I have other plans.
32:05You never know.
32:06I might even get married.
32:08But there's no way I'd sit behind a desk all day.
32:10That's for sure.
32:11All right.
32:12Let me know if you change your mind.
32:14I'll be in the staff room, Mrs. Morris.
32:16Right.
32:18Oh, hello, Judy.
32:20Hi, Mrs. Morris.
32:25Everything all right?
32:27Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
32:29Got some trouble at the house, though.
32:31Hazel Kent's back.
32:32Good.
32:33She's not hitting the bottle again, is she?
32:35I wish it was that simple.
32:37Mrs. Morris, Hazel's dying.
32:40What?
32:40Yeah, she's got a brain tumour.
32:43Can I have a word with Mrs. Reynolds?
32:45I want to talk to her about it.
32:46Sir, what are you doing in there?
32:56Thought you'd been rusted off duty today.
32:58I am.
32:59I don't like being left in that cell on my own.
33:01Oh, half your luck.
33:03I wouldn't say no to a day flat on me back.
33:05Oh, neither would I.
33:06It'd be lovely if you'd just sit and dream the day away.
33:09Yeah, well, it's not dream time now, Pixie,
33:11so come on, back from fairyland.
33:14And as for you, young lady,
33:15around here, either you work or you don't.
33:18And if you don't, you leave others alone to do things.
33:21I just wanted to ask for some help.
33:22Oh, like what?
33:24It's this rule book.
33:25Miss Ferguson said I had to learn it off by heart.
33:27I just don't understand some of it.
33:29So what?
33:30Half of those rules don't make sense anyway.
33:32But she said I...
33:33Why don't you just go back to your cell and try
33:34and look at it yourself?
33:36And if there's anything really bugging you,
33:37we'll talk about it later.
33:39After work.
33:44Oh, that really wasn't very nice, Bea.
33:46She's so unhappy.
33:48Yeah, I know.
33:48And I end up feeling like the big bad wolf.
33:50Well, just watch it.
33:51Because if you don't get back to work,
33:52I'll eat you as well.
33:54The poor woman.
33:56That's absolutely dreadful.
33:59What about you?
34:00Are you going to be able to cope with all that at the house, Judy?
34:03Yeah, well, we've had a few hassles,
34:04but the women seem to be handling it okay.
34:07Well, if there's anything I can do.
34:09Funny you should say that.
34:10There is.
34:13You know that Hazel's been in and out
34:14and went with more times than she can count.
34:17She's got a lot of friends here she really cares about.
34:19And you'd like her to be able to see them?
34:21Yeah.
34:21I mean, I know it's against departmental policy,
34:23but surely on compassionate grounds,
34:25it'll be all right.
34:25As far as I'm concerned, of course,
34:27but I'd have to clear it with the department.
34:28Would you?
34:29It'd mean a lot to her.
34:30They're the only family she has.
34:32And what about George and the kids?
34:33Do they know?
34:35No.
34:36I've got to tell them today.
34:39I'm not looking forward to that either.
34:40Dear Dad,
34:52it was so lovely to talk to you on the phone the other night.
34:56Hello, Rosemary.
34:57Did you manage to sort out all those awful rules and things?
35:02No, I didn't.
35:04Well, I wouldn't get too upset about it if I were you.
35:08I can't make much sense of them either,
35:09and I've been here longer than you.
35:11It's all right.
35:11I'm not upset.
35:14Look,
35:14Bea wasn't trying to be nasty to you before.
35:17She's not that kind of lady.
35:19She was just...
35:19What the hell are you doing here, Mason?
35:21I've just come to collect the dirty sheets in this phone.
35:23Funny,
35:23I could have sworn I heard you talking to Kay.
35:27The place got too much for you already, has it?
35:35Hiding away in your cell?
35:37No, I...
35:38Oh, what's this?
35:40Writing a letter to dear old Dad, are we?
35:44Does he know his little girl's a crimp?
35:46Please give it back.
35:47It's private.
35:48Ooh,
35:49a little lamb can bleat, can it?
35:53Nothing is private in here.
35:54No, I just have to make sure
35:58that you don't give people
35:59the wrong impression of this place.
36:01You're still here, Mason.
36:02Get that laundry and get out.
36:04Well, well.
36:29Your cell is a mess, young lady.
36:31You're going to have to clean it up
36:37before you do any more letter writing.
36:51God, this stuff must be worth a fortune.
36:53Yeah, well, it's all day she made
36:54out of taking it off the world
36:55and you're a lousy bitch.
36:56Oh, come on, we haven't gone all day.
37:04Hey, the freak's coming.
37:06Yeah.
37:06Do you reckon that Renault was fair diggum
37:23about letting her come to visit?
37:25Oh, I think so.
37:26Anyway, I'll let you know
37:27as soon as I hear anything.
37:28Those poor little kids.
37:31They'll grow up now
37:32without knowing anything
37:33about their real mum.
37:35Just like mine.
37:37Do you think she'll have
37:38very much pain, too?
37:40No, of course not, Lizzie.
37:41That's what the pills are for.
37:42Now, come on,
37:43you'd better go back to the kitchen.
37:44Otherwise, Mrs. O'Regan
37:44will really throw a wobble.
37:45See you later, love.
37:46Look, what's up with you?
37:47You look like you've been chased
37:48by a mad dog.
37:49It could be right.
37:50Here she is, foaming at the mouth.
37:51Female dog.
37:53What are you doing here, Brian?
37:54I'm doing a job for the governor,
37:55didn't she tell you?
37:56Stephens,

38:01What?

38:02Now, get out of here
38:03and clean it up.
38:03But I just...

38:06Nothing.
38:14Well, you just met it
38:14by the skin of your teeth.
38:15Yeah, well, I made it
38:16and that's what counts.
38:17Things are hot enough
38:18around here for the ice lady.
38:19Now, listen,
38:20I know Curiosity killed the cat,
38:21but is anybody going to tell me
38:22what's going on around here?

38:42than the supermarket.

38:57because as you can see,
38:58I'm doing very well.

39:19to knock me out
39:20or something.
39:21Anything.

39:58when they're prescribed.

40:30better than this.
40:32Oh, yeah.

40:54Hey, Rosemary,
40:55you'll have to lend Sonia
40:56your book of rules
40:57since she's lost hers.
40:58One of the most
40:59important rules
41:00is to keep your cell
41:01tidy at all times.
41:03Yeah, I'll remember that.
41:05Salt?
41:06Oh.
41:07Whoops.
41:10Gee, I forgot.
41:11I'm not supposed to have
41:12salt with my meal.
41:13It's bad for my blood pressure.
41:18You'll swap with me,
41:19won't you, Rosemary?
41:20Rosemary?
41:20Oh, that's a fish.
41:23She can't eat that.
41:24Why not?
41:25You expected me to.
41:27But, sir,
41:28shut up, Pixie.
41:30Well, Rosemary.

42:01You feeling better, love?
42:04A bit better.
42:07Listen,

42:10like that.
