00:00Get away from me, you bitch! You're the one who took them off me in the first place, and they're mine, see!
00:04Hazel, I can't give them to you. The doctor says you have to take them when they're prescribed.
00:08The doctor!
00:10What's the doctor gonna do with it? He's not going through all this, is he?
00:16I got this headache this morning, see?
00:19And I got worse and worse and worse.
00:23And the pill I took, it didn't work. I just keeps pounding and pounding and pounding in my head.
00:28He's out of my shell!
00:29Hazel, if I give you an extra one now, then next time it's two, then three, they're powerful things!
00:34What's he gonna do? Kill me?
00:58Oh, come on, ladies! Hurry it up! There are others waiting!
01:06Yeah, get a move on! My brain's getting steamed up out here!
01:10Stick around your input, please and surprise!
01:13What's happening? You'll see.
01:16What is she talking about?
01:18Well, I guess I'd say she's planned some surprise for Stephen.
01:21Did you okay?
01:22I don't know.
01:23What's happening?
01:24I don't know yet, but I think we're about to find out in a minute.
01:27It's true, Stephen.
01:36Oh my God!
01:37How is this happening?
01:38How is it happening?
01:39It's so fun!
01:40I was late for the hospital, Mr. You sit in the car and wait for me in the corridor and check the phone.
01:44Just check the phone.
01:45I'm not saying it happened.
01:46I wouldn't be the first time, love.
01:47I'm one of the last, now.
01:49Here's another lesson we haven't learned.
01:50We're going to have to get our board for you
01:54or go out to knock back down.
01:57Paisley, you've been longing to see your kids for months now.
02:00You're not going to let them see you all down in the mouth, are you?
02:03Jude, I just don't think I'll be able to handle it.
02:05Of course you will, honey.
02:07Don't you regret it if you didn't?
02:09You've been waiting for this day for so long.
02:10Yeah, but it was different before.
02:12There was always a chance they were going to come back to me.
02:15But this time, well, I know it'll be the last time I'm going to see them.
02:20I know it's going to be hard for you, honey.
02:25But you have to say goodbye to them properly.
02:27You deserve that much.
02:29What about them?
02:32They might have almost forgotten about me now.
02:34Is it worth the risk upsetting them all over again?
02:36Hazel, you're their mother.
02:40They don't know about me, do they?
02:42No.
02:45I just don't think I'll be able to handle it, Jude.
02:47I know I won't.
02:50You've got a chance now to tidy up your life.
02:54Don't throw that chance away.
02:58Okay, come on.
02:59We're ready for the load over here.
03:01How's that sorting going, Rosemary?
03:03It won't be a minute.
03:04We'll get that load of washing out of there into the dryer.
03:06Oh, no.
03:07Come on.
03:07I haven't got all day.
03:11God, we seem to have twice as much work today.
03:14Where did it all come from?
03:15I haven't got behind during the quarantine.
03:16The deliveries are only just catching up now.
03:18We really need some help in here.
03:20Yeah, well, Phyllis was supposed to be here, wasn't she?
03:22Pity about her accident.
03:25Oh, Rosemary!
03:26For heaven's sake, what do you have to do now, Rosemary?
03:28It's not my fault.
03:29I couldn't see where I was going.
03:31For God's sake, will you open your eyes?
03:32I cannot afford to have someone following you around all day and holding your hand.
03:36I don't want anyone to hold my hand.
03:38I just want to be treated like a human being.
03:41I didn't have to work, you know.
03:42I volunteered.
03:43Thought it might give me the chance to get to know someone if you make a few friends.
03:47Should I?
03:50Are you a bit hard on her, Bea?
03:52I told you, it's for the kids' own good.
03:53But she's only a little kid.
03:54You've seen what happens to the soft ones.
03:56They're vultures.
03:57Get them.
04:01Grazerblaze in the soap.
04:03I've heard that little chick before.
04:04Any idea who did it?
04:07No.
04:08Naturally, Hunt refuses to say.
04:09Oh, of course.
04:11What's going on, Meg?
04:12I don't know.
04:13I thought the women were getting on fairly well lately.
04:15That is, until Sonia Stevens arrived.
04:18She's definitely on the outer.
04:20You think it could have been meant for her?
04:21Yes, I think it's a possibility.
04:23I think the women have found out about her.
04:25Why do you say that?
04:26Well, it's just this bad feeling whenever she's around.
04:28I mean, there was that accident with the sewing machine yesterday,
04:31and then a cell was ransacked.
04:33Now, if they're on to her, I think there could be trouble.
04:36Right.
04:37I'd better have a word with her.
04:38Thanks, mate.
04:40Oh, well, whilst I'm here, this telegram came for Lizzie.
04:46I don't think she'll be very excited about that, do you?
04:48No, she has created a few problems for herself, hasn't she?
05:02Come in love.
05:03Don't take it so hard.
05:08Be and the others are only trying to help you.
05:11Help me?
05:12How about yelling at me?
05:14Oh, that's just Be.
05:16That awful thing that happened in the showers this morning,
05:18that woman getting her hands cut.
05:19No one showed any sympathy, any kindness.
05:23Listen, love.
05:24We all like you, and we're all worried about you.
05:28But life is different in the country and away from your family,
05:32and you've got to learn that.
05:34It's different, all right.
05:34I wish I'd never left.
05:36You're planning to go back?
05:39I can't.
05:40Even if I get out of this mess, Dad can't afford to keep me any longer.
05:44Well, then, you just have to learn
05:47to keep your eyes open to everybody and everything.
05:53Oh, you're right, Lizzie.
05:55I didn't mean so darn simple.
05:56I don't know what that Rod Miller bloke was up to in the first place.
06:00Yes.
06:00Well, I'm not supposed to, but I'll help you.
06:04You just stick by me, and I'll soon show you the ropes.
06:08Would you, Lizzie?
06:09Sure.
06:11Now, I'm a bit long in the tooth,
06:13but I've been around long enough to cope with anything,
06:16and I remember when I used to live in the bush...
06:19Lizzie, what are you doing in here?
06:20Why aren't you in the laundry?
06:22Oh, Rosemary here is a bit upset about what happened in the showers this morning.
06:27You all right now?
06:28Yes, thanks, Mrs. Morris.
06:30How's Phyllis?
06:31Oh, complaining, but her hands aren't too badly cut.
06:34Do you know who put those razor blades in the soap, Lizzie?
06:37Oh, no, Mrs. M. I don't know anything.
06:39Right.
06:40Oh, there's a telegram for you.
06:43Oh, God, for me, I hate those things.
06:47Read it for me, will you, Mrs. M.?
06:49It's from Nick.
06:50Determined to see you before you leave for China.
06:57Stop.
06:58Move trip forward.
07:01Stop.
07:02See you in four days.
07:05Stop.
07:07Four days?
07:09Oh, God, Mrs. M., what am I going to do?
07:11And you're quite sure it was an accident?
07:21Yes, of course.
07:22There was no one else even near the sewing machine at the time.
07:24And you've no idea who ransacked yourself?
07:27That.
07:28Oh, look, there was no harm done.
07:29I thought it was the usual initiation into the place.
07:31Same thing happened to me at college.
07:33And did they also hide razor blades in the soap at college?
07:37Look, that had nothing to do with me.
07:39Obviously, someone was paying that woman back for something she'd done.
07:42Would you have any idea who did it and why?
07:45Look, I keep pretty much to myself.
07:47I've no idea about the factions in this place.
07:49And you haven't been openly threatened?
07:51Of course not.
07:53Should I?
07:55We think the women have found out that you're a policeman's wife.
07:58You know how dangerous that could be for you.
08:01I think perhaps you'd be safer if we moved you into the isolation wing.
08:05Mrs. Reynolds, I think you're overreacting.
08:07I'm perfectly all right where I am.
08:11Yes?
08:13I see.
08:14Yes, that'll be all right.
08:15I'll send her in from here.
08:17You've got a visitor.
08:18Your husband.
08:19Oh, God.
08:20He might have some news about my appeal.
08:22In the meantime, think carefully about moving into the isolation wing.
08:25There's no need to.
08:26I'm perfectly safe where I am.
08:29Mrs. Morris, would you take Stevens to the interview room?
08:32No.
08:36Stevens.
08:38I'd still watch my step if I were you.
08:40Yes, I will.
08:44I just keep running up against a brick wall.
08:47I don't suppose we could expect much else.
08:49But I've spoken of dozens of contacts.
08:51People who feed us information all the time and there's nothing.
08:54It's almost as if they're afraid to say anything.
08:58But there must be somebody that's willing to talk.
09:01There's another thing, too.
09:04You're definitely known around the traps.
09:07Well, that's not surprising, is it, really?
09:09After all, I am a policeman's wife.
09:11It was also mentioned a couple of times about a bloke called Turner.
09:15A Gerry Turner.
09:16Ever heard of him?
09:19No.
09:20Should I?
09:23Well, I hope not.
09:25He's mixed up in a lot of shady deals.
09:30Eddie, we knew it was going to be difficult trying to prove that somebody planted Hero Anominy.
09:35But it's got to be someone who's got it in for you.
09:38That's the only reason they can be.
09:39That's the line I've been working on.
09:41And so far, I've drawn a blank.
09:42Oh, please, keep trying, darling.
09:47You're my only hope.
09:52Are you sure that finger's all right?
09:56Yes.
09:59Darling, how can I get you anything?
10:03Just get me out.
10:05Can you do anything with these?
10:06Doc said I wasn't going to get them wet.
10:08No, try some sorting.
10:11Oh, I see.
10:12A little rest time over, is it?
10:14Oh, lay off, Bea.
10:15I've got a problem.
10:16And so have I.
10:17No workers.
10:24Bea, I'm trying to tell you something.
10:26May I what?
10:27The cat's hit the pigeons.
10:29Mick's putting his trip forward.
10:31So he can see me and he'll be here in four days.
10:33Well, hold your horse.
10:35There's no use to panic.
10:36Oh, who's panicking?
10:37It's too late for that.
10:38I'll just have to expose myself.
10:40No, I wouldn't do that.
10:41That'll put him right off.
10:42Well, I mean write to him and tell him I'm a fraud.
10:45You'll never get the letter in time.
10:47What do you suggest?
10:48I invite him here to tea and scones in the dining room?
10:52Yeah, he could.
10:52You could say you're taking over as governor.
10:54Oh, yes.
10:55And we'll get Ferguson to wait on us.
10:57Now, that I would like to see.
10:59Come on, love.
10:59Don't worry.
11:00We'll think of something.
11:02I'll see.
11:03I told you they weren't going to turn up.
11:05Well, honey, it's early yet.
11:07Look, why don't we go and sit down?
11:08Oh, I can't.
11:10God, I wish I had a drink.
11:13Well, what difference would it make now?
11:14Well, for starters, they'd smell it on you, wouldn't they?
11:17No, they wouldn't because they're not coming.
11:20I know, George.
11:21He's changed his mind.
11:22Oh, come on, June.
11:26Let's go.
11:26Yes.
11:36Hello, Johnny.
11:38Barbie.
11:40Hello.
11:42Hello.
11:48You look wonderful.
11:52Well, don't I get a hug?
12:06It's ringing.
12:12Hello.
12:14G'day, buddy.
12:15How are you getting on?
12:17Not good.
12:18Oh, I'll get it.
12:20Listen, if you don't get me out of here,
12:22I will never get out.
12:23They think you're a bit of a celebrity, eh?
12:24Oh, you could say that.
12:26Only they're not after autographs,
12:27they're after blood.
12:28Well, there's not much I can do for you in there.
12:31I could call off the protection rackets
12:32for a while if you like.
12:34That should cool things down for a bit.
12:36At least until the appeal.
12:38Well, you can forget about the appeal.
12:40Eddie hasn't been able to come up with anything.
12:41All it's doing is making him more suspicious of me.
12:44Oh, he's been snooping around.
12:45He came up with your name today.
12:46My name?
12:48Damn it.
12:48How'd he get that?
12:51I thought we had this thing shut up like a drum.
12:54Uh-huh.
12:56Well, what do you want me to do?
12:58Just get me out of here,
12:59and I don't care how.
13:00Arrange something from your end,
13:01I'll do what I can from my end.
13:02I'll get me to all you.
13:03Listen, there's a couple of other things.
13:06Two thousand dollars.
13:08No problem getting it,
13:09but how do I smuggle it into you?
13:12All right.
13:13All right.
13:14What was the other thing?
13:15John Ferguson.
13:19Well, I haven't been able to do much yet.
13:22I'm relying on you, Jerry.
13:24Don't let me down.
13:25I'll do what I can.
13:30We haven't seen you for a long while.
13:33No.
13:34No, I've been away.
13:36But I've thought about you both all the time.
13:39Do you think about me sometimes?
13:44Yeah, sometimes.
13:46What do we call you now?
13:49Well, you used to call me Mummy.
13:52Yes, but we've got another Mummy now.
13:57Do you like her?
13:59Yeah, she's great.
14:00She's home, even when we get back from school.
14:04Yeah.
14:04Well, that's much better, isn't it?
14:09Does she look after you?
14:10Yeah, she's pretty good.
14:13Why don't you come and live with us too?
14:16No, I couldn't do that.
14:20Actually, I've got to go away again.
14:23Quite some time.
14:24Could we come too and Daddy?
14:26Like we used to?
14:27No.
14:28Sorry, baby.
14:29I've got to go on me own.
14:30Yeah.
14:31As a matter of fact, I've got to go pretty soon.
14:38George, can you take me away, please?
14:43Now, I want you to be real good to your new mum.
14:48Look, kids, you went over there for a minute, okay?
14:51Kiss your mother.
14:52Kiss Hazel.
14:53Goodbye.
14:54No, it's all right.
14:55We've said our goodbyes, haven't we, kids?
14:57Goodbye.
14:58Goodbye.
15:01Look, Lays, I am sorry the way things have turned out.
15:08Yes, so am I, George.
15:10I'm never going to see him again.
15:14Now, you make sure you look after my kids.
15:17Yeah.
15:17I love you.
15:30I love you.
15:31I love you.
15:41Now, Smith, what can I do for you?
15:43Well, it's not for me, Mrs. Reynolds.
15:44It's for Lizzie.
15:45Lizzie?
15:45Yeah, I suppose you know her friend Mick from overseas plans to visit Australia.
15:49Yes, I do.
15:50Well, Lizzie's going and dropped herself right in the...
15:52Well, she's going and dropped herself right in it by telling him that she's really rich.
15:57And now she's frightened that he...
15:59But he'll find out the truth.
16:00Yeah, exactly.
16:02Well, unfortunately, I don't see what I can do about it.
16:04Well, I was wondering if Lizzie could have a day release.
16:07I doubt whether the department would approve.
16:09I don't see why not.
16:10Wouldn't do any harm.
16:11You could just say she's visiting an old mate from overseas.
16:14And it would get Lizzie off the hook.
16:16And she'd have an officer with her the whole time.
16:18Well, there's nothing to stop her from applying.
16:20But it'd help if you put your weight behind her.
16:22And it might be the only chance she'll ever get to see him.
16:25Tell her to apply and I'll see what I can do.
16:28Thanks, Mrs. Reynolds.
16:29By the way, that woman you mentioned on the phone.
16:35Oh, yes.
16:36Have any luck?
16:36It seems she's quite an animal lover.
16:41She's got a dog she's very fond of.
16:43Do anything for her.
16:45I see.
16:47Yeah, she helped some way with strays lately.
16:49Found them good homes.
16:50Oh, really?
16:51Hmm.
16:52It seems she has a soft spot for special cases.
16:55Well, we'll have to see if she can be persuaded.
16:59How are the plans for the holiday going?
17:01It's fine, eh?
17:02I found a real estate agent who could be quite helpful.
17:05Well, rent's a bit higher, though.
17:07Still, it'd be worth it.
17:11Did you bring me that thing I asked for?
17:13Yeah, I hope it's the one you wanted.
17:16All right if I give this to Mrs. Stevens?
17:23Yeah, fine.
17:29Oh, I'd hate to have missed out on this issue.
17:35Hi, what are you doing here?
17:41Oh, I thought I'd just pop in and see how you were.
17:44How are you, Hazel?
17:45I'm all right.
17:47A bit tired.
17:48You can go and lie down for a bit.
17:50Okay, honey.
17:51I'll put the kettle on.
17:52I'll bring up a cup of tea in a minute, okay?
17:53How is she?
18:02Well, she's just said goodbye to her kids for the last time.
18:08Oh.
18:10I wish there was something we could do for her.
18:12Look, all you can do is try and make her as happy as possible.
18:16Happy?
18:16Anyway, how are things at the prison?
18:22Well, now the last half fever scare's over, everything seems to be returning to normal.
18:27Good.
18:28And Petra?
18:28Well, she's recovered, thank God.
18:30Her trial's coming up soon.
18:32Well, I hope she gets off, for both your sakes.
18:34She will.
18:36And the minute she's free, I'm packing her off to that church.
18:39Hey, how do you feel about being best man?
18:44Hang about.
18:45Oh, God.
18:47What's the date?
18:48The 12th, what?
18:49Yeah.
18:51Tomorrow is my trial for the abduction.
18:53I'd forgotten about it with Hazel and everything else.
18:56The 13th?
18:57I hope you're not superstitious.
18:59Well, with my luck, it won't matter anyway.
19:15It won't matter anyway.
19:25Oh, God.
19:26The 13th, what are you doing here?
19:32Stevens, what are you doing here?
19:45I'm on my way back to the laundry.
19:48Actually, I'm rather glad I bumped into you.
19:51Look, we haven't got much time, so I'll get straight to the point.
19:54Oh, yes?
19:55I want to get out of here.
19:57You and 50 others. Now get going.
19:59But I can play.
20:02How much?
20:042,000 now, and the other two when I get out.
20:07How would you get 2,000 in here?
20:10I've already got it.
20:12Oh, but don't get any ideas.
20:14See, you've got this cousin on the outside,
20:16who has a rather nasty habit with women he doesn't like.
20:20Is that so?
20:21Now why don't you and I go down and see the governor,
20:23and you can put your little proposition to her.
20:26It should get you at least another six months.
20:28All right.
20:29Then we can tell her about the last two girls you helped escape.
20:32Maxine and Lucy, wasn't it?
20:33I hope you can prove that.
20:35Oh, I wouldn't have to prove it.
20:36Just a suggestion on top of what's already on your record, apparently.
20:40If you know so much about me,
20:42then you know what happens to people who threaten me.
20:45Well, this cousin of mine hates animals.
20:49I wonder how long your precious mutt would last.
20:50He has a real talent for pain when he puts his mind to it.
20:56Now I think we know each other's strengths.
20:59Let's talk business.
21:00Anyone want to make up a four?
21:12No, thanks, Bea.
21:13I've got a new magazine.
21:15I wouldn't mind playing.
21:16Oh, love.
21:18Careful where you say that.
21:19Come on over here and sit down,
21:21and don't take any notes of her,
21:23because she's a dirty old woman.
21:25Oi, enough of the old.
21:29What are we playing?
21:30That depends.
21:31What do you know?
21:32I play sevens.
21:33Sevens?
21:34I haven't played sevens since I was a kid.
21:37We might as well have a game of old maid.
21:39Oh, no way.
21:39You'd have too much of an advantage.
21:41Oh, you like playing pontoon,
21:43so you can sit on it and twist.
21:45Keep yourself nice, Lizzie.
21:48What other games do you know?
21:49Oh, my dad tried to teach me to play yuker once.
21:52I've been yuker in the country a bit myself.
21:55I think it was about time we completed
21:57her husband's education
21:58and taught her how to play pontoon.
22:00Don't you need money for that?
22:02No, love.
22:02You put it on the slate.
22:03Oh, deal.
22:04Here, cut.
22:05So far, Lizzie owes me about $400,000.
22:07Oh, it's only $300,000 and $42,000.
22:15There you go.
22:16Not much good at cards, I'm afraid.
22:18Don't worry about that.
22:20We'll play a couple of dummy hands.
22:22Teach her the ropes.
22:26Oh, it's a good idea about the dummy hands.
22:28I've got a hand like a foot.
22:30Don't blame me.
22:31I only dealt.
22:32Now, the whole idea of this game
22:33is try and make 21 in as few cards as possible.
22:36The easy way to do it is with an ace
22:38and with a court.
22:39What are you playing?
22:41Cards.
22:42What are you doing?
22:43I'm waiting for a bus.
22:45An ace.
22:48There you go, Smith.
22:49Just earned yourself a charge.
22:51And what about her to be in the ashtray or...
22:52Oh, Smith.
22:53I saw what happened.
22:55Looked like a perfectly simple accident to me.
22:57You, Stevens.
22:59Clean that mess up.
23:00Teach her to be so damn clumsy.
23:02Okay, smart.
23:02Come with me.
23:04Well, don't look so excited.
23:06It's your solicitor.
23:06I've got plenty of time, Stevens.
23:18You'll get yours.
23:27How are you, Miss Smart?
23:28Well, okay, I suppose.
23:31Wasn't expecting to see you.
23:33I had to see you.
23:35You're standing trial tomorrow.
23:38Tomorrow?
23:39I thought it'd be at least another couple of weeks.
23:42Yeah, it surprised me, too.
23:44They're making a special effort
23:45to clear off the backlog in the courts.
23:48I don't suppose it matters when it is, really.
23:50Have you seen Sharon?
23:54Yes, she's quite well, but...
23:57The Crown's calling her in
23:59to give evidence against you.
24:01Oh, that's bloody lovely.
24:04Look, it doesn't necessarily mean
24:06that she's going to be hostile.
24:07She won't need to be.
24:09She'll only have to say what I did.
24:10That'd be enough.
24:11It doesn't look very good, does it?
24:13Do you have a cigarette?
24:18Sorry, I don't smoke.
24:22I should pack it in, I suppose,
24:24when my luck's running.
24:27So, how long do you think I'll get?
24:31Look, a charge of abduction is very serious.
24:34Look, I was doing it to try and help my sister.
24:38We may be able to convince the court
24:40that these were extenuating circumstances.
24:41All right.
24:44All right, let's say I can convince the Beak
24:46that I did it out of sisterly love.
24:47What'll I expect then?
24:49The least you can hope for is six months.
24:56Hello, Mrs Beaton.
24:57Oh, hello, Mr Wallace.
24:58Wally, how are you?
25:00Oh, fine, thanks.
25:00Good.
25:01How are things with you?
25:01Oh, fine.
25:02Hey, listen, how's young Rosemary?
25:04I've been worried about her
25:05ever since they took her away,
25:06poor little tyke.
25:07Ah, she's all right as far as I know.
25:10But I think she's probably still trying
25:12to work out what hit her.
25:14Yeah.
25:14Oh, let me help.
25:15Oh, no, I think I'm right, thanks.
25:17Wentworth's no place for someone like her.
25:19I mean, she's a real nice kid.
25:21Yeah.
25:22Well, she'll be out there a long time
25:24unless we give her a hand.
25:25Oh, I'd do anything I could if I could help her.
25:27Well, you just might be able to help, Mrs Beaton.
25:29Yeah.
25:30For a start, you could tell me a bit about this Miller.
25:34Well, I'll tell you what I know.
25:36Not that I normally gossip about my borders, you know.
25:39Oh, no, no.
25:39Of course not, no.
25:40Of course, I've never really liked him.
25:43I mean, he moves his clothes all over the place.
25:46And what he did to that poor kid now,
25:47that was really rotten.
25:48Yeah, that was, wasn't it?
25:49It was a real mongrel trick.
25:51Oh, dear.
25:52I'm trying to locate some of his friends.
25:55Well, I don't think he's got any.
25:57None that I know about, anyhow.
26:00Oh, no.
26:03Becca.
26:04Oh, well, look, if not friends,
26:06people who know him say better than you or I do, you know.
26:10Well, any girlfriends?
26:12Well, I know he's had his share of them,
26:14more than his fair share, most probably.
26:17Oh, not that I allow him to bring them round here.
26:19I mean, I don't go in for that sort of thing.
26:22Very wise.
26:23Give him an inch, so take him up.
26:24Let me do it this morning.
26:25Oh, thanks a lot.
26:26Yes, now, what about, uh, phone calls?
26:31Do you make a sort of record of incoming calls?
26:34Not really.
26:35I mean, I don't like the boarders to take too long over their calls,
26:38you know, in case someone else is trying to get through.
26:40All right, what happens if a call comes and a person's out?
26:43Well, we leave a message on the pad by the phone.
26:46Ah, and how long do you keep those pads?
26:49Well, we keep them until they're used up.
26:51But all the, um, the latest ones should still be on the pad that's there now.
26:55Can I have a look at it, please?
26:56Oh, I've only checked the messages for Miller.
26:59Yeah, of course.
27:00Hey, listen, I'll make you a cup of tea while you're doing it.
27:03Thanks a lot, Mrs. B.
27:04No need to rush these, tomorrow will do.
27:09I might as well get them out of the way.
27:10Well, you don't have to, you know.
27:12The other women in the recreation room, we can join them, if you like.
27:14I can knock them over in a few minutes.
27:16It's up to you.
27:23Something else, Mrs. Morris?
27:26Yes, yes, there is.
27:29I was just wondering, when you get out of here,
27:31why don't you go and get yourself a good, steady office job,
27:35rather than go back to prostitution?
27:37Mrs. Morris, I charge $100 a client, which adds up to around a grand a week.
27:42How many secretaries make that kind of money?
27:44There is more to life than money.
27:47Yes.
27:48There's job satisfaction and security.
27:51As it happens, I'm good at my job, I enjoy it,
27:53and I don't have to worry too much when the bills come in.
27:57I don't lose any sleep about becoming redundant, either.
28:00Most of the other people on the game have no choice.
28:03But there's a lot of other things you could do.
28:06Yes, well, let's just say I prefer it when lying down on the job
28:08is not likely to get me to sick.
28:11You have it all very nicely rationalised, haven't you?
28:14What about the time you spent in here?
28:17Every business carries its risks.
28:19It's an occupational hazard.
28:21In future, I'll be much more careful.
28:24You won't be seeing me back in here after this.
28:28Oh, Wally, what can I do for you?
28:30Mrs. Morris, I arranged with the Governor to see young Rosemary Kaye.
28:33Right, sign in and I'll take you through.
28:35Thanks, Mrs. Morris.
28:45How are you, Rosemary?
28:48It's nice of you to come, Wally.
28:49Sorry, you didn't think I'd leave you in this place without coming to see you, did you?
28:52Not really, but...
28:54I just feel so cut off from the rest of the world.
28:58Sometimes I feel as if I'll never see anyone I know from the outside again.
29:01No, no, no.
29:01Don't you think that way.
29:03Plenty of people care about you.
29:05How are you getting on in this place?
29:07Only just.
29:09How are you getting on with the other women?
29:11Some of them are very hard.
29:13There was an awful accident this morning and no one even seemed to care.
29:16Well, Bea and Lizzie are being really nice now.
29:18I don't know how I'd get by without them looking out for me.
29:21Just because they're in prison doesn't mean they're all bad.
29:23Well, they're only trying to help me, Wally, but I wish I was out of here.
29:27Of course you do.
29:29And I'm working on it.
29:30Just a little chance I might be able to get you released.
29:33I don't see how you can unless Rob Miller decides to tell the truth and her charges are withdrawn.
29:37Can't see him doing that now, are you?
29:39I wouldn't be too sure about that.
29:42You've heard something, haven't you?
29:43Hmm, not exactly, but I've been nosing around a bit.
29:47I'm going to pay him a visit tomorrow and have a word or two in his shell pink.
29:51Oh, do you think he can get him to drop the charges?
29:53I know, don't you get too excited just in case it doesn't come off.
29:56But I reckon he'll be more than happy to drop the charges when I'm finished with him.
29:59Oh, I hope so, Wally, I really hope so.
30:01So do I.
30:02Believe me, I wouldn't have said a word of this to you if I didn't think I could deliver.
30:07So keep your chin up.
30:08I will, Wally, and thanks for everything.
30:13I thought I'd find you here, Stephens.
30:18Well, I had a lot to think about.
30:20Besides, I've got nothing in common with the other one, eh?
30:23Except Wentworth, eh?
30:28I'm giving a bit of thought to that proposition of yours.
30:32You're going to help me escape.
30:33Come on, I don't need to draw pictures, Stephens.
30:35We both know what I'm talking about.
30:37All right, what have you decided?
30:39I'll help.
30:39I thought you might.
30:41Oh, you're very sure of yourself, aren't you?
30:43Yes.
30:44And I also know the way I'm going out.
30:47You've got a busy little mind.
30:49And just, uh, which exit have you decided on?
30:52The loading bay worked like a charm last time.
30:54I've always believed in using tried and true methods.
30:57Perhaps you're right.
30:59They wouldn't think of the same lurk being used again so quickly.
31:01Set it up for tomorrow?
31:05I won't be on laundry duty myself, but I can make sure that you are.
31:10Yeah.
31:11It can be done tomorrow.
31:13Providing I get my 2,000 tonight.
31:17You got yourself a deal.
31:18Come on, you lot better.
31:30Move on, I haven't got all day.
31:32Come, move.
31:35Cut it now.
31:36There was a phone call for you last night.
31:38I must have forgotten about it.
31:41It was from your husband.
31:42Yes, what do you want?
31:44Your cousin.
31:46Jerry?
31:47Yes, what about him?
31:49Seems he had a little disagreement with the police
31:51and decided to take a few shots at them.
31:55Did he get hurt?
31:56All about as hurt as you can get.
31:58He was killed.
32:01Hell.
32:02I'd say that's very likely.
32:04Of course, he might have got away
32:06if he hadn't been weighed down with all that money.
32:09$50,000, according to the police.
32:12Did they get the money?
32:14Oh, no, the police couldn't leave that sort of money
32:16lying around the streets.
32:18Might have fallen into the wrong hands.
32:19And there are some terrible people around these days.
32:22And not all on this side of the bars.
32:23Now, unless you want to stay on that side of the bars,
32:25you better start thinking of some answers.
32:28The police are going to want to find the rightful owner of that money.
32:31And I wouldn't be surprised if they come around asking you a few questions.
32:36If you're still here.
32:38I won't be.
32:40Let's hope not.
32:44Okay, Dobbs, what do you think you're doing?
32:46You've got to move on.
32:51These little things are sent to try us, aren't they, Stevens?
32:54Thanks, mate.
33:01All right, Mr. Wallace, what exactly do you want?
33:03I'd just like to have a chat about young Rosemary.
33:06There's nothing to talk about.
33:08I thought it'd be a nice gesture if you dropped those charges.
33:11Forget it.
33:12She can stay in the slot where she belongs.
33:15That's all you've got to finish with you yet.
33:18I'm a busy man, Mr. Wallace.
33:20We're talking about a young girl's life.
33:23You can spare a few minutes.
33:25All right, but get on with it.
33:27Hurry up.
33:28Well, it's funny how you bump into people, isn't it?
33:30You know, they say it's a small world.
33:32What are you getting at?
33:33Well, I met another young lass yesterday.
33:36Ex-girlfriend of yours.
33:38Name of Janie Martin.
33:40So?
33:41Oh, so we had a rather interesting chat.
33:43It appears she's not very wrapped in you at the moment.
33:45She's got a long memory.
33:48What's all this got to do with Rosemary?
33:50Well, you know how it is.
33:52A woman's scorned, all that sort of thing.
33:55Janie's pretty dirty on you at the moment.
33:57Bag dirty enough to get up in court and say some rather nasty things.
34:01So Janie's got her knickers in a twist.
34:03She's got nothing on me?
34:05Oh, well, she thinks she has.
34:07So much so she's prepared to swear in court
34:09that while you and she were living together,
34:11you used to knock off all your groceries from the supermarket.
34:13That's a filthy lie,
34:15and I don't care what Janie says,
34:17nobody can prove anything.
34:18Maybe.
34:19Maybe not.
34:20But the police will have a damn good try.
34:22If you think you can blackmail me into dropping the charges,
34:25you've got another thing coming.
34:26Now, if you don't get at yourself,
34:27I'll call the cops.
34:28Call her blackmail if you like, son,
34:30but you have a damn good think about it.
34:32You could face some serious charges yourself
34:35if Janie had a chat to your employer.
34:47Pass the word.
34:48I have had it up to a heel in a smart ass,
34:50which no one talks to or has anything to do with it.
34:53If they do, they don't have me to answer to
34:55what pussyfooting the man anymore.
34:57Oh, come on now.
34:58I can't remember when you ever did.
34:59There are a few around if you love going soft.
35:02Not too many of them in here.
35:04Okay.
35:05Pass the word, don't you?
35:06Yeah, well, I will,
35:07but don't forget I'll be away most of the day.
35:09That's right, so you will.
35:12What about you, Pixie Willis?
35:16Oh, sorry, Bea.
35:17I was just thinking.
35:18Oh, don't do too much of that, love.
35:20You could do yourself a mischief.
35:22Do you hear what I said about Pixfeatures?
35:24Yes, Bea.
35:24You want to pass the word around the other woman?
35:26Right.
35:27Right.
35:27Smart.
35:28Report to reception.
35:29Good luck, come on.
35:32Yes, good luck.
35:33Yes.
35:35I won't say goodbye.
35:36I'll be back here tonight for sure.
35:38Get up, you want to be smart.
35:39You don't want to be late for your own trial, do you?
35:41I wouldn't count on coming back here.
35:43Because if, or should I say when,
35:45you're sentenced,
35:46you'll be going straight to Barnhurst.
35:49Get a move on.
35:52Move!
35:52I'll get you, you great, fat freak.
36:04Uh, Mr. Wallace, hang on a minute.
36:07Uh, glad I could catch you.
36:10Look, um,
36:11I don't want to get the kid into a lot of trouble.
36:15Well, you can stop it if you want to.
36:16Yeah, but what'll I tell the cops?
36:19Well, you can tell them you were drunk,
36:22you lent her the money,
36:23then you forgot about it.
36:25But that'll make me look a bit of a dill,
36:26don't you reckon?
36:27Not as much of a dill as you look
36:29if you lose your job
36:30and you get arrested for knocking stuff off
36:31from the supermarket.
36:32Yeah, but won't they get a bit niggly
36:35if I change my story?
36:36Well, that's a chance you've got to take.
36:38But I can arrange for them
36:39to get a lot more niggly.
36:43All right.
36:46I'll see the cops and I'll drop the charges.
36:48Good on you, son.
36:48I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what.
36:50One good turn deserves another.
36:52I'll give you a lift down to the police station, eh?
36:54Good on you, Mr. Boris.
37:04Oh, hello, Sergeant.
37:05Hi.
37:06These are the release papers for Oja McKay.
37:08The charge has been dropped, then?
37:09Yeah.
37:10Young Miller came in and told us the whole story,
37:12or at least another version of it.
37:14So what happens to him?
37:15From what I've heard,
37:16he could go for attempted rape.
37:17Well, that's not quite the way he told it to us.
37:19But he did confirm most of the girl's story.
37:22We let him go.
37:22There's a stern warning not to try anything like it again.
37:25He gets Rosemary out of here.
37:26That's the main thing.
37:28Well, I'll leave you to it.
37:29See you later.
37:29See you.
37:29Thanks a lot, Sarge.
37:31I don't know what you did to make Rod change his mind, Wally,
37:34but you must be very proud of yourself.
37:36And I'm glad to see Rosemary's getting out.
37:39But I think only half the battle's won.
37:42How have you been?
37:43I'm wondering what's the best thing for her when she's released.
37:46I mean, she's hardly equipped to face the big bad world,
37:50even though she has aged a few years in a couple of days.
37:53Yeah, yeah.
37:54I've been giving that a lot of thought.
37:56I don't know about the future,
37:57but I know the first thing I'm going to do,
37:58I'm going to find her a proper place to live
38:00where she won't get into any trouble.
38:02I think you're right, Wally.
38:03You know, I don't think I can remember
38:06when I've been quite so pleased
38:07to see somebody discharged from Wentworth.
38:09Can you pick up the coffee?
38:17Mm-hmm.
38:18You'll keep.
38:35You can bet on it.
38:36I wouldn't waste my money.
38:38You're a loser, Smith.
38:39And everybody knows it.
38:41Get back to work, Smith.
38:46Right.
38:47Now, these women report to the loading bay.
38:49Stephens, Mason, Shaw, Dobbs, Murray and Kennedy.
38:52Report to Mrs. Powell when you get there.
38:57Kay?
38:57I spoke to you, Kay.
39:01Yes?
39:01Yes, what?
39:03Yes, Miss Ferguson.
39:04That's better.
39:06Now, collect your traps and report to reception.
39:09Why?
39:10Well, didn't I tell you?
39:11The charges against you have been dropped.
39:13You're being discharged.
39:14Oh, good one, Rosemary.
39:15Oh, that's lovely, Rosemary.
39:17I'm really happy for you.
39:18Come on, you like to move.
39:19I'll report to Mrs. Powell now.
39:21Goodbye, and good luck.
39:22Oh, I can see.
39:25Goodbye, Ben.
39:26Thanks for everything.
39:29I don't know how I could have got by
39:30without even Lizzie and the others looking out for me.
39:33Just you look out for yourself.
39:35I will.
39:37Come on, Kay.
39:38I haven't got all day waiting for you.
39:40I wouldn't worry too much about missing this lot.
39:43He'll be back.
39:44They all come back, don't they, Smith?
39:46If you come back in here,
39:47I'll give you a good kick in the bun.
39:49Don't worry, Bea.
39:50I've had enough.
39:53Get.
39:56Oh, Rosemary.
40:00Pixie, aren't you supposed to be working?
40:02Oh, yes, but I just slipped away to see you for a little while.
40:04I'm sorry you're leaving.
40:06Oh, if you know what I mean,
40:07but I'm really pleased for you.
40:09Oh, thanks, Pixie.
40:10I can't say I'm sorry,
40:11but I will miss you all.
40:13Well, what are you going to do once you get out?
40:15I don't know yet.
40:16I'm not really worried.
40:17If I can survive this, I can survive anything.
40:19Oh, I'm sure you'll be all right.
40:21Um, since you are going,
40:24would you mind doing me a small favour?
40:27I will if I can.
40:28Well, would you mind placing this
40:30in the personal column of the paper for me?
40:34Attractive young woman, affectionate nature,
40:37seeks correspondence with similar man,
40:39object matrimony.
40:40Yeah.
40:41Advertiser is currently a model inmate,
40:43prospects good,
40:44replied care of Wentworth Detention Centre.
40:47Well, do you think anyone would be interested?
40:49Oh, I'm sure they will.
40:51It's a wonderful idea.
40:51Of course I'll do it.
40:52Ah, thank you.
40:55Here's two dollars.
40:56That should cover the cost.
40:57I'll arrange it as soon as I get out.
40:59You don't think I'm being silly, do you?
41:01Of course not.
41:02I think you're being very sensible.
41:04You're much better off to deal with a guy by mail first.
41:06Less chance of him chasing you around,
41:08doing the dirty on you
41:08and getting you stuck in a place like this.
41:10Hmm.
41:11Well, thank you and, um, good luck.
41:14Well, I must fly now.
41:15They're probably looking for me.
41:16Bye.
41:17Bye.
41:17Bye.
41:19Okay, back to the laundry.
41:26Oh, Mrs. Powell,
41:27you, uh,
41:28check this for me, please.
41:30What is it?
41:30Well, I was just going over the work roster
41:32and I'd like you to approve the changes.
41:34Ah, good love.
41:36You'd better leave her and typing for the moment.
41:38Oh, well, look,
41:39we are shorthanded in the laundry,
41:40especially now since...
41:41Take some of the women from cleaning duties.
41:48Right, I'll call to the roster.
41:53I never knew that fresh air could feel so good.
41:56Ah, you'll get plenty of it from now on.
41:58Well, I'll ever be able to thank you
41:59for all the help you've given me.
42:01Don't worry about it.
42:02I didn't do anything.
42:04Nothing?
42:04Well, without you, I'd still be in there.
42:10Well, the point is,
42:11you should never have been in there in the first place.
42:13I can guarantee you one thing,
42:15they'll never get me back.
42:16No way.
42:17Good girl.
42:18Have you got any idea what you're going to do?
42:22Not really.
42:23I'll have to find a job, of course,
42:25and somewhere to live.
42:27Away from the Rod Millers.
42:38Molly, do you think...
42:39What?
42:41Well, I've just come out of prison
42:42and Driscoll houses with people like that, isn't it?
42:45It's not really what I had in mind for you.
42:48But I'd be all right in there, Wally.
42:49I know I would.
42:51Well, the final say is really Judy Branch.
42:53Judy would let me stay.
42:54I'm sure she will.
42:56All right.
42:57Driscoll house it is.
42:59But you won't be able to stay there full time.
43:01It's a halfway house.
43:02I know, Wally,
43:02but it'll give me time to find something permanent
43:04without rushing in.
43:06All right, I'll tell you what I'll do.
43:08I'll put in a good word for you.
43:10I know the owner.
43:14One of the prisoners is missing.
43:15Stop!
43:28I don't know, Stevens.
43:29Surely I didn't think you could get away with that.
43:33And under the very eyes
43:35of the deputy governor herself.
43:36He used to give me roses
43:49I wish he could again
43:55But that was on the outside
44:00And things were different then
44:05On the inside
44:07The sun still shines
44:10And the rain falls down
44:15But the sun and rain are prisoners too
44:20When morning comes around
44:25Last night I dreamed we worked together
44:30Sharing all the love
44:32Sharing all the love ignored
44:36Till I had to face the nightmare
44:41Of waking up alone
44:45On the inside
44:47On the inside the roses grow
44:49They don't mind the stony ground
44:52They don't mind the stony ground
44:56But the roses here are prisoners too
45:00When morning comes around
45:07When morning comes around
45:09When morning comes around
45:11You
