00:00Would you mind pasting this in the personal column of the paper for me?
00:05Attractive young woman, affectionate nature, seeks correspondence with similar man, object matrimony.
00:12Advertiser is currently a model inmate, prospects good, replied care of Wentworth Detention Centre.
00:18Well, do you think anyone would be interested?
00:21I'm sure they will. It's a wonderful idea, of course I'll do it.
00:23Oh, thank you.
00:25Alright, Frisco House it is.
00:27But you won't be able to stay there full-time, it's a halfway house.
00:30I know, Wally, but it'll give me time to find something permanent without rushing in.
00:34Alright, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll put in a good word for you. I know the owner.
00:41One of the prisoners is missing. Stop!
00:44One of the prisoners, surely I didn't think you could get away with that.
01:01And under the very eyes of the Deputy Governor herself.
01:04So, you will appear before the VJ on an attempted escape charge, and you will also spend 24 hours in solitary.
01:25If it hadn't been for Miss Ferguson's foresight and experience in this matter, I can assure you the consequences would have been much more serious.
01:34Have you anything to say, Stevens?
01:37No.
01:37No, Mrs Reynolds.
01:40No, Mrs Reynolds.
01:41Alright, that'll be all.
01:46Miss Ferguson, could I see you for a moment, please?
01:49Certainly, Governor.
01:50Officer Brown, would you wait with Stevens for a moment, please?
02:04Miss Ferguson, could you explain how Stevens managed to get into the laundry van?
02:10No, Governor, I can't.
02:11This is the second time this has happened, and you've been there in both cases.
02:15Maybe you could explain just what's going on.
02:17Well, perhaps you could ask Mrs Powell about this one.
02:21Mrs Powell?
02:22Yes.
02:23She was the officer in charge at the time.
02:30Alright, Miss Ferguson, that'll be all.
02:33Thank you, Governor.
02:40Oh, well, the Ritz, it ain't.
02:42You should be comfortable.
02:44No, I will.
02:45I'll be with friends, won't I?
02:46Anyway, this is the Ritz compared to Wentworth.
02:50I don't know how you did it, Wally, but thanks for getting me out of there.
02:52Thanks aren't necessary.
02:54All part of the service.
02:55Now, all we've got to do is get you a job, eh?
02:58Yeah, yeah.
02:59Can't really well go back to Rod's supermarket, can I?
03:01No.
03:01Don't worry, we'll find something.
03:03Look, I've got to go and get some clay from my pottery classes.
03:05I might as well pick up the afternoon papers.
03:07Okay.
03:08Is there anything I can do around here to help?
03:09Just make yourself at home.
03:11Judy will fit you into the Judy rosters when she gets back.
03:13Get to know our friends here, if you like.
03:17Not as bad as they look.
03:19See you later.
03:20Bye.
03:20Bye.
03:20Hello, is that the dispatch?
03:42I'd like to place an advertisement.
03:45In the personal column, please.
03:46Bye.
03:46Bye.
03:46Bye.
03:46Bye.
03:46Bye.
03:50Not quite what I expected for $2,000.
03:55Oh, you mustn't hold a grudge.
03:57Just think of it as a small lesson, Stevens.
04:00To let you know who's boss.
04:03You can go to hell.
04:05All right, Stevens, have it your own way.
04:07But you're not exactly topping the popularity stakes in here, are you?
04:11You need a friend.
04:12Once bitten, twice shy.
04:14Oh, I thought you might be interested in getting some of that money back.
04:16In here?
04:17How'd it worth my while?
04:18Well, there's money to be made in here if you've got the right connections.
04:21And I suppose that's where you come into it.
04:23Right.
04:24First time.
04:24What's to stop me doing it by myself?
04:27Me.
04:30Perhaps you're right.
04:32I know I am.
04:33All right.
04:34What have you got in mind?
04:35I knew we'd understand each other.
04:38Oh, I understand you perfectly, Miss Ferguson.
04:40Good.
04:40Then you come up with some money-making schemes and I'll give you room to move.
04:44Brains and lawn.
04:45No need to ask which is which.
04:48What do you expect to get out of this?
04:51Oh, I think we can come up with something that's mutually satisfying.
04:55Don't you?
04:57Besides, you've got plenty of time to think about it.
05:00You wanted to see me, Governor?
05:14Yes, Miss Ferguson.
05:20This is a list of new cell allocations.
05:23Could you organise the move sometime today, please?
05:25Oh, Roberts and Stevens in the same cell?
05:28Is that a problem?
05:30Well, it could be, Governor.
05:32Stevens is quite unpopular with some of the women.
05:34My main reason for putting her in with Roberts.
05:37Well, Governor, I would have thought she'd be better off in a cell on her own.
05:40I mean, with her drug conviction and police connection,
05:42surely the more time she spends away from the other women,
05:45the easier it'll be for all of us.
05:46I can understand your worry,
05:48but Roberts is a fairly stable influence on the women
05:52and I'm hoping that she can get them to be a bit more tolerant towards Stevens.
05:56Yes, of course.
05:57If there are any problems, we can review the situation.
06:00Any other queries?
06:01No, Governor.
06:02Good.
06:04Oh.
06:06Well, do you think I could leave my number just in case something does come up?
06:10I see.
06:11Well, thank you anyway.
06:13Bye.
06:13Bye.
06:22Hi.
06:25Hi.
06:26Any luck?
06:27No.
06:28I think it must be a bit late on these morning ones.
06:29All the jobs have gone.
06:31There's a lot of people out of work at the moment.
06:33I knew that before I left home.
06:34I just didn't think it'd be as bad as the paper said.
06:37Well, don't give up.
06:38Hang in there.
06:39Something will turn up.
06:40I hope so.
06:42There just don't seem to be many jobs around
06:44for people who can drive a tractor and milk cows.
06:47Half the problem is I don't even know what these jobs mean.
06:50Look at this one.
06:51Comptroller needed and hand finisher.
06:54What does a hand finisher do?
06:55They can't make them.
06:56They break them.
06:58Look, there must have been something else you did up at the farm
07:00apart from milk cows.
07:01I mean, did you cook?
07:03Yeah, I'd love to cook.
07:04There you are then.
07:05We'll look for a job in a restaurant.
07:07You look back through that lot.
07:09I'll have a look in the afternoon papers.
07:16Being in solitary doesn't seem to worry you, Stevens.
07:19Some of us don't mind our own company.
07:21Well, you'd better make the most of it
07:23because when you get out of here, you'll be sharing yourself.
07:26And you'd better do something about it.
07:27I prefer to be on my own.
07:29Oh, we all like our own little private comfort, Stevens.
07:35But unfortunately, the Governor's got other ideas.
07:39You'll be sharing with Roberts.
07:41Then that means the end of our business before we even start.
07:44I can't imagine Miss Goody Two-Shoes cooperating.
07:46It's no problem.
07:47We just have to find another place for our little staff meetings.
07:53And V Smith is going to stand by and watch it happen?
07:55Take care of Smith when the time comes.
07:58Good.
08:00Because I've got an idea to start the bank rolling.
08:03Ever heard of the numbers game?
08:05Sure.
08:05Everybody buys a number and the winner takes the money.
08:07Right.
08:08Well, where's the profit?
08:11Oh, there'll be plenty of profit.
08:13You see, the winner only gets a very small percentage.
08:16We get the rest.
08:18That's going to upset a few people.
08:20Yes, I'll find a way of handling it.
08:21When can you start?
08:26Well, I don't think the women will be too pleased with the idea when they hear it's come from me.
08:30So I'll have to find someone else.
08:33Got anyone in mind?
08:35Phyllis Hunt.
08:36Well, she has had a taste of what it's like if you don't cooperate.
08:42Surely you're not going to dismiss this out of hand.
08:45I see no point in putting the request forward, Mrs. Reynolds.
08:48Judging by Birdsworth's past record, I'd say she has very little hope of attaining it.
08:52We're talking about an old woman at the end of her term.
08:55She may not live long enough to see this friend again.
08:57I think you're being a little melodramatic.
09:00No, I don't.
09:01Perhaps you ought to talk to Dr. Collins.
09:02He's with me now.
09:03I'm sure that won't be necessary, Mrs. Reynolds.
09:05I'm sure that he would call...
09:06Mr. Richards?
09:07Dr. Collins.
09:09Now, what's this about Birdsworth?
09:11Well, Mrs. Reynolds is right.
09:13Lizzie's recent bout of Lassa fever has been very detrimental to her health.
09:17Yes, I'm quite sure that, sir.
09:19But I fail to see what that has to do with her day release.
09:22Well, apparently there is some doubt as to whether it'll be granted.
09:26As her physician, I strongly recommend that her application be accepted.
09:32Very well, Doctor.
09:33Your suggestion has been noted.
09:35I hope so, Mr. Richards.
09:37Turning her down now could be a huge disappointment for her.
09:40The stress on her heart could prove fatal.
09:44And you can imagine what the newspapers would do with a story like that.
09:48I trust you're not trying to blackmail the department, Dr. Collins?
09:52Of course not.
09:53I just know how newspapers can turn a little thing like that into a major government blunder.
10:01Put Mrs. Reynolds back on.
10:05Mr. Richards?
10:07Very well, Mrs. Reynolds.
10:08I will present the application.
10:10Good afternoon.
10:10Mr. Richards?
10:13Yes?
10:15We need the release by the 12th.
10:17Really?
10:28Oh, that's fantastic.
10:29When can I start?
10:31Yes?
10:32Well, yes, I can come right now.
10:34You know, you've really saved my life.
10:36Hello?
10:41Wally!
10:41What's going on?
10:44Oh, I've got a job, Wally.
10:45I have to get down there straight away.
10:46Oh, after you have the breakfast.
10:48Oh, well, you can have mine.
10:49Hey, um, what is the job?
10:51Well, it's in a little restaurant.
10:52They want to cook and waitress.
10:54Oh, isn't that wonderful?
10:55Well, it's only part-time, but at least it's a job.
10:57Well, when did you go to see them?
10:58Oh, look, I can't talk now.
10:59I've got to go to work.
11:00Well, at least you're tidy.
11:08Well, at least, yeah.
11:10Try and keep it that way.
11:11Maybe then we can be friends.
11:13Look, you're not my idea of a perfect cellmate, either.
11:17Now, that's enough.
11:19Both of you.
11:21You will be sharing this cell, so I suggest you both make the best of it.
11:25You've ten minutes to settle in.
11:27And then report for work, Stevens.
11:29Robert, you have a visitor.
11:34Get a move on, Stevens.
11:46Hi.
11:57How are you?
11:58A little nervous.
11:59Mrs. Morris just told me the trial's tomorrow.
12:01Yes, I know.
12:02I didn't realise it'd be so soon.
12:04Scott, I'm worried.
12:05What if they don't believe me?
12:06Look, all you have to do is tell them what happened.
12:08Now, Ray Gilbert's coming in later.
12:10He'll go over the whole thing with you.
12:11Yes, I know, but what if they think...
12:12Look, we've got the best barrister that we can.
12:14His name's Paul Manningham.
12:16He's the best, isn't he, Mrs. Morris?
12:17Well, so I've heard.
12:19Sir, I want you to get all your things together, because after the trial, you're not coming near this place again.
12:24Oh, I hope you're right.
12:26You want to make a bet on it?
12:27I love you.
12:30And I love you, too.
12:32Hi, I'm...
12:50You the new girl?
12:51Yes, my name's Rosemary.
12:52I thought you'd never show up.
12:54Come on, come in.
12:55I'm sorry.
12:56It's the buses.
12:57They don't come very often out where I live.
12:59You don't really look the type.
13:01Sorry?
13:01Fred, the new girl's here.
13:03I want my money.
13:04Rotten bastard wouldn't pay me till you showed up.
13:07Probably figures he can have a last little feel if he can get me back there.
13:10Bloody turd.
13:12Here.
13:13Thanks.
13:14Jeez, you must be real desperate.
13:16Why?
13:17You've got to be to work in this dump.
13:19Look, love, are you really going to take this job?
13:25Yes, I have to.
13:27Okay, it's your life.
13:29But a word of warning.
13:30Fred's nickname is Octopus, so don't turn your back to him.
13:34Why?
13:35Oh, boy, he's going to love you.
13:37See you, kid.
13:38Good luck.
13:42I must say, I am surprised at Sonia Stephen's actions.
13:46Understandable, though, I suppose.
13:48Really?
13:50Considering the allowances made to her, I find her actions rather strange.
13:53Considering her position in the community, she has been put in an untenable position.
13:59Perhaps we might review some of these charges before the...
14:01Mr. Richards, as long as I am governor, Sonia Stephens will be treated exactly the same as the other women.
14:07Quiet.
14:09Did I suggest differently?
14:10Now, as to this legacy, perhaps a trust fund could be set up to...
14:19The women already have a trust fund?
14:20Yes.
14:21But perhaps the department should oversee and allocate the use of that money.
14:25$20,000 is quite a substantial sum.
14:29It's more than that now.
14:30There have been several donations from outside.
14:33Then we definitely should...
14:35Those women have already come up with a very commendable use for their money.
14:39Mrs. Reynolds, let's not forget that those women are prisoners.
14:42They are in here because they couldn't decide what was the right thing to do.
14:46Come.
14:47Well, I'm sorry.
14:49That's all right.
14:49Come in.
14:51Mr. Richards was just going to tell me about Lizzie's day release.
14:54The department has decided to grant Birdsworth her release.
15:03Good.
15:05However, Mrs. Reynolds, should anything go wrong, I will hold you personally responsible.
15:11Of course.
15:13But I'm quite sure we have no need to worry.
15:17You know, when I first heard the trial was tomorrow, I panicked.
15:20Now I'm glad.
15:21I just can't wait to put it all behind me.
15:23A natural reaction?
15:25Scott said you thought my chances of getting off look positive.
15:28Well, of course, juries can be very unpredictable.
15:30But I know Judge Waring, a good fellow to have up on the bench.
15:33And with Manningham standing for you, things look a lot better than they might have been.
15:38If you could just fill me in on the sort of thing I'd be asked, I'd really appreciate it.
15:42I'm sorry, Petra.
15:43There's no way we can avoid bringing up the incestuous relationship between your father and yourself.
15:48As you have no one to substantiate your evidence,
15:51the only approach we can take is to tell the court everything.
15:54No, but you can't...
15:55No, no, let me finish.
15:56If we don't, your reasons for taking the blame for Emma's actions are going to seem very hollow.
16:01All right, Mr. Gilbert.
16:05I've been rather stupid, haven't I?
16:07The only thing left to do is to face the consequences.
16:11And hopefully everything will turn out all right tomorrow.
16:13Scott and I can start living.
16:16Why aren't you in the laundry?
16:18It's a little too crowded for my liking.
16:20I find it difficult to think.
16:21You're just going to have to learn to get used to it, aren't you?
16:24I can't see why.
16:25Either I get what I want or you don't get what you want.
16:27Don't you threaten me.
16:29Threaten you?
16:30I'm just trying to make our position in this partnership a little clearer.
16:34Now, in order to have things run smoothly,
16:37I want a little bit more time off.
16:39And I also want to sell to myself.
16:41You're in a position to arrange it.
16:43So I suggest you pull your weight and organise it.
16:46Is that all?
16:55For the moment.
17:02And that was just to let you know who calls the shots around here.
17:08Now I suggest you get back to work.
17:16I'd be careful, Hunt.
17:17Soap can be very dangerous.
17:19Well, it's all right this time.
17:21But next time, who knows?
17:23What do you want?
17:26I've got a proposition to put to you.
17:28Like what?
17:30Numbers game.
17:31I need somebody to set it up and run it for me.
17:33Interesting?
17:34It depends.
17:35What's in it for me?
17:37Well, we could call your commission salesman.
17:40The more you make, the more you earn.
17:42It would have to be a bloody good commission.
17:44Bea wouldn't be too happy about a racket like that.
17:46We can handle, Smith.
17:47No, you can.
17:48I know what side me breed's butted on.
17:52I don't think you do.
17:56And we wouldn't want another little accident to happen.
18:02This way we'll work out quite well.
18:07Not both of us.
18:14I never thought it would come through.
18:20Oh, I think it's wonderful, after all this time, to find the man of your dream.
18:25Oh, I don't know that I'd call him that, but it will be nice to talk over old times.
18:29Oh, I'm sure you'll fall in line and get married.
18:32Oh, come off it, Pixie.
18:33She's only got a day of release.
18:34She's worked bloody hard to fit already.
18:36Yeah, especially with Foxy.
18:38God, for the very word marriage, make him break out in a rash.
18:42God, he was a lair, Ben.
18:44Oh, then we'll just have to dress you up so you sweep him off his feet.
18:49I can't go.
18:50Why not?
18:51I haven't got anything to wear.
18:53Oh, no.
18:54I can't see Foxy and all my old stuff.
18:57You'd never believe me.
18:58He's so classy.
18:59I mean, all the stuff I wrote to him in me letters.
19:02Oh, don't you worry.
19:02We'll think of something.
19:04Maybe somebody could loan you a suit and we can dress it up with accessories.
19:07Oh, maybe we could run something up on the machine.
19:10Why can't we just buy Lizzie a new dress?
19:12Yeah, we could all take the rest of the day off and go shopping.
19:15No, I thought perhaps one of the officers could get something.
19:18You must have some money saved, Lizzie.
19:20Yeah, but I don't reckon they'd let me have it.
19:23Well, what about the Fresh Start Fund?
19:24That's what it's for, to help people on the outside.
19:27But she's only out for one day.
19:28So we'll make it a good one.
19:29What do you say, put it to the boat?
19:31Well, I'm sure we're all for it.
19:32Oh, yes, Lizzie.
19:33We'll be able to find you something beautiful.
19:35What do you reckon?
19:36How does it go for it, Pete?
19:37Yeah, of course they will.
19:38Anyway, I'll check them out at lunchtime.
19:40What is it, a union meeting?
19:43Where's Hunt and Stevens?
19:44Don't know.
19:45Must have gone to the toot.
19:46Oh, Mrs. Powell.
19:47Can you do me a favour?
19:50Yes, well, it depends.
19:51Well, I've got to get in the address.
19:53And I didn't know how I was going to get it.
19:54But now I know I can.
19:55And all I need is to get it.
19:56Lizzie, please.
19:57Just slow down and tell me exactly what you're asking.
19:59She needs a new outfit to meet Foxy,
20:01and we want to give it to her out of the Fresh Start Fund.
20:03And you want me to organise it?
20:05Yes, please, Mrs. Powell.
20:06Something really classy.
20:09Oh, well, I'll see what I can do.
20:11Now, please, let's get some work done.
20:13Something lavender.
20:18That's what it should be.
20:29Good.
20:30You look like death on a stick.
20:32Hey, is you all right, love?
20:33Screamer of a headache, Jude.
20:35Got me tablets?
20:36I must be told.
20:37Yeah, sure.
20:38Could you get some water, surely, please?
20:40Yeah, of course.
20:41There you go.
20:41Well, you're back early.
20:43How'd the case go?
20:45Well, it went fine for me.
20:46They didn't have enough evidence to convict me,
20:48but it didn't go so well for Helen.
20:50She got three years at Barnhurst.
20:53Poor bitch.
20:54Three years with vinegar tits just for helping your sister.
20:57Well, I think she feels it was worth it, yeah, love.
20:59It does, she'll.
21:00Listen, Jude.
21:09Do you reckon we could skip going to Whitworth, Osavo?
21:12Hayes?
21:14I thought you were looking forward to it.
21:17Yeah, I was, but I got to thinking.
21:20Well, I think it's a bit strange, an ex-con getting visiting rights.
21:23They want to know how I swung it.
21:24Oh, come on.
21:25They'll be so happy to see you.
21:26They won't give that a second thought.
21:28They're your mates.
21:29Trust them.
21:31Yeah.
21:32Yeah, I suppose you're right.
21:33Of course I'm right.
21:33Yeah.
21:34Wow.
21:35I reckon I've outdone myself today.
21:37Tomato soup with chips to follow.
21:39Well, I'll say one thing for you, Shirley.
21:41When you cook, we know we're in for a treat.
21:43I wonder what the slop de jure is.
21:56Ronnie assured me that it was shepherd's pie.
21:59Well, my condolences to the shepherd.
22:01How can you eat that, Lizzie?
22:04It's all right if you don't look at it.
22:06It used to be Foxy's favorite food.
22:09He always asked me to cook it for him when he came over for a visit.
22:12Yeah, except she used to use real shepherds.
22:14I thought you said Foxy was posh.
22:17Oh, it is now.
22:18This used to be his favorite tucker.
22:21I suppose he only eats in fancy French places now.
22:26Excuse me, Wendell, do you have frog's legs?
22:28No, madam.
22:29I always stand like this.
22:32Well, I don't reckon that Foxy would be into frogs and snails and things.
22:36He hates gardening.
22:37He always did.
22:40Hey, what's the matter?
22:42To find out if I'm going to get me new stuff.
22:45Mrs. Morris will get it this afternoon.
22:47Oh, good on you, Mrs. Powell.
22:50Oh, that's not a bad old sort of drool.
22:53Oh, a screw's a screw.
22:54I'll drink to that.
22:56In fact, I could drink to this too,
22:57only I'd like to hold on to my stomach for a few more years.
23:00Don't you want that, love?
23:02Do you want it?
23:03You can have it.
23:04Oh.
23:04How is the thought that society knows you're supposed to eat like food?
23:12What do you mean?
23:13Well, there's no point in having a classy dress to impress Foxy if you're going to attack your food like a football.
23:18Oh, it's only a healthy appetite.
23:23Oh, bugger it.
23:25What's the matter?
23:27What am I going to tell Foxy when he wants to see me big house?
23:31When he wants to see your big what?
23:34Come on.
23:36Well, how did I know it was going to land on me doorstep?
23:40I told him I was really rich and that I had this big house and servants and everything.
23:45Oh, well, if you're going to spin a yarn, you may as well use the best wool, I always say.
23:50Oh, it's no joke, Bea.
23:51What am I going to do?
23:53Oh.
23:53Well, tell him you're redecorating so he's staying in a hotel for a while.
23:57Oh, Foxy never swallowed that.
23:59Foxy by name and Foxy by nature.
24:02Irene Henderson.
24:04I wonder if she'd help out.
24:06How?
24:06Lona House?
24:07Hmm.
24:09Oh, come on for me.
24:11I've heard of long shots, but that's right over the trees.
24:15Just a thought.
24:18You'll leave it with me.
24:29Are those fish and chips ready yet?
24:36Um, I don't know.
24:37Well, come on, love.
24:38Get your finger out.
24:44Hey, you're burning those bums.
24:46Even if Irene comes good with the house, I've still got to worry about me manners and things.
25:00Oh, give it a rest, Lizzie.
25:01I wish I'd never got myself in this mess.
25:04Look, I'm sure you're worrying far too much, Lizzie.
25:06Look, just think of it as meeting an old friend and be yourself.
25:09I can't, but not after all the things I told him.
25:12Hey, it's in.
25:13Rosemary put my hat in the paper.
25:15I'm going to have so many husbands, I won't know what to do with them all.
25:18Just share them around, honey.
25:19Lots of ladies in here without a fella.
25:20Yeah, I could, couldn't I?
25:22I could start my own marriage bureau if I get too many.
25:25What do you think, V?
25:28Oh, well.
25:29I don't know what you want with all those men picks.
25:32Just one's enough for me to worry about.
25:35Well, listen, I've got an idea that won't give you half the trouble.
25:37I wouldn't bet on it coming from you, you bitch.
25:40Yeah, well, it'll be you that's out of pocket, because this one's a dead-set winner.
25:43Oh, what is it, Phyllis?
25:44The numbers rack.
25:45What's the numbers rack?
25:46Oh, Petra, don't you know anything?
25:49I thought you said you were a teacher.
25:51English teacher, not me.
25:52Well, all you have to be able to do is to count up to 40.
25:55You see, you buy a number off me, say, for a dollar.
25:57A dollar?
25:58That's a bit steep, isn't it?
25:59Well, you get a hell of a lot more back if your number comes up.
26:01Well, how much do you win?
26:03Well, it depends on how many of you's playing.
26:05Sounds like a great idea to me.
26:07I'll be in it.
26:07Just a minute.
26:09Where did you get this great idea, Phyllis?
26:12Oh, it just came to me.
26:14I'm surprised no one thought of it before.
26:16Oh, it's been done before.
26:17Trouble is, the people running it got greedy.
26:20Come on, Bea.
26:22It's only a bit of fun.
26:23I might be one of the big winners, and then I can pay back the fund.
26:28Oh, all right.
26:29But make sure you run it straight.
26:31Oh, sure.
26:32Okay, ladies, pick a number.
26:33What the hell's going on here?
26:35Get back to work, the lot of you.
26:38You too, Stephens.
26:43I don't want to bug you, Bea.
26:45But are you still going to find out from Irene about the house?
26:48Well, I'm not going to get a minute's peace until I do, aren't I?
26:51Excuse me, Miss Ferguson.
26:52Can I make a phone call, please?
26:54All right.
26:55Wait in the corridor.
26:56Birdsworth, get back to work.
26:58You're not out yet.
27:02Well, I reckon I've gained at least five pounds.
27:05She must have made buckets of these things.
27:08Well, how do I look?
27:12Like a million dollars, you know that, huh?
27:14Thanks, Chip.
27:16I know it's real stupid, but I feel nervous.
27:18Come on, you're going to be fine, huh?
27:20Now, listen, you had to better eat some of these.
27:22You know how upset Shirley gets if there's anything left.
27:24No, thanks, I've had plenty.
27:26Well, hi, I didn't hear you come in.
27:30Tried day at the office, eh?
27:33How was it?
27:35Well, it wasn't what I expected.
27:37I suppose I'll get used to it.
27:38At least I'm getting paid.
27:40You stick to it, love.
27:41You never know where to lead.
27:44You've got to make something out of your life.
27:45It's the only one you've got.
27:50Take no notice of me.
27:52I don't know what I'm talking about half the time.
27:54You just do what you want, love.
27:56Hey, we'd better get a move on, you know that?
27:59Otherwise, we're going to get to the prison and there's going to be nobody there to visit.
28:03Hey, Rosemary, if you're hungry, get stuck into these.
28:07They're delicious.
28:08There you go.
28:12Number 13.
28:15Um, could I have number two, please?
28:18Sure can.
28:20I'm sure I'll win.
28:22It's such a lucky number.
28:24Two people, two hearts beating as one.
28:28Come on, pinks.
28:29I want to get my deb in.
28:31Can I have my number on tick, please?
28:32I'm running a bit short at the moment.
28:35No way.
28:36Cash up front.
28:40Oh, it's going...
28:41Oh, God, you may be old ticker jump four feet then, Bea.
28:45Then you must have a guilty conscience.
28:47No.
28:47Here is a wet day in Melbourne.
28:51Hey, did you get in touch with Irene?
28:53I mean, yeah, and...
28:55And...
28:56She said it was okay.
28:57Oh, you little beauty.
28:59Oh, thank you, Bea.
29:01We have to do it with Irene first, but as far as Irene is concerned, it's fine with her.
29:04What's fine with her?
29:05Oh, Mrs. Powell, can you do me a favour?
29:08Another one?
29:09Just one.
29:11Oh, God, what is it?
29:12Well, Irene Henderson reckons I can take Foxy to her house and pretend it's mine.
29:18You've got to be joking.
29:19No, she's not.
29:20I just spoke to her on the phone.
29:21She said it's fine with her, but we have to clear it with Mrs. Reynolds.
29:24Can you fix it?
29:25What do you say?
29:27Well, I...
29:28I wouldn't mind seeing her place myself.
29:31I'll see what I can do.
29:33You're not coming with me, are you?
29:36You are going to have the cream.
29:39Me and Mrs. Morris, we're not going to take any chances this time.
29:46Come on.
29:47God, how's anyone going to get to talk about anything with Poe Face breathing down your neck?
29:56Foxy will twig straight away.
29:57I'm sure she'll be discreet, Lizzie.
29:59Oh, yeah.
30:01Anyone could spot Poe Face for a screw with her eyes shut.
30:05It's not going to work.
30:06Oh, cheer up, Lizzie.
30:08You know, it could be worse.
30:09Yeah.
30:10How?
30:11That could have said the freak with you.
30:12Oh, God, don't mention it.
30:14It might happen.
30:16All right.
30:17Who wants to find out the big winner?
30:19Oh, who's going to draw the lucky number?
30:20Well, it should be someone who's not in it.
30:22Oh, well, that's me.
30:24Come on, make way.
30:28And the winner is number two.
30:32Oh, that's me.
30:33I told you two was a lucky number.
30:35It must be an omen.
30:36Thank you, Lizzie.
30:37And you too, Philip.
30:39There you go.
30:39First lucky winner.
30:41Five lousy bucks.
30:42You must have over 40 in there.
30:44What happens to the rest?
30:45Oh, didn't I tell you?
30:46There's going to be a big draw at the end of the week.
30:48Oh.
30:49Whoever wins will win a real bundle.
30:50Well, I just can't wait until the end of the week.
30:52And if you want to stay healthy, you better make sure it happens.
30:59Okay, anyone going for exercise period?
31:00Move out into the yard now.
31:02It's an old friend.
31:03Come to see you all.
31:03Who would that be, Miss Ferguson?
31:05You'll just have to wait and find out, won't you, Birdsworth?
31:11Oh, she's a right charm.
31:14Hey, Bill.
31:15What do you think about Phyllis's game?
31:17Oh, I don't know.
31:18She could be on the level.
31:19She'd better be for her sake.
31:21I didn't think you'd be in this.
31:23If you're not in, you can't win.
31:25If you're in here, you can't win anyway.
31:33You took your time?
31:35Yeah, well, I'm here now, aren't I?
31:37Be's $35, but I reckon we should have the big draw soon.
31:40What draw?
31:41The big jackpot.
31:42Be's getting heavy about it.
31:43There's going to be a draw.
31:44That's just to keep them interested.
31:45But I thought you said we were going to...
31:47You're paid to think, you're paid to do as you're told.
31:51Is that all I get?
31:52Yes, that's it.
31:54Look, I'm going to need more than this, especially if we don't have the big draw.
31:57Be will get heavy.
31:58Don't worry about Smith.
31:58I can handle her.
31:59You just keep selling the figures.
32:01Look, if you're only going to pay me peanuts, you'd better get somebody else to do your dirty
32:04work.
32:04I'm not interested.
32:05I think that's very unwise, Hunt.
32:09Well, I should get more.
32:10I'm the one that's got to take all the crap.
32:13Get out.
32:15What?
32:17You've just quit.
32:18You have no reason to be in here, so I suggest you leave.
32:21Now.
32:22I reckon it's just about worth it, though.
32:29I look on Vinegar Tits' face when I clocked her.
32:32She looked as though she'd been goosed by a cactus.
32:36Didn't she always?
32:39So, how's the freak these days?
32:41Oh, up to her usual form.
32:43I reckon the freak and Vinegar Tits come out of the same mould.
32:47Hey, Lizzie.
32:48Your home brewery got any better?
32:49I don't make it anymore.
32:51The freak's got a nose for her and brew like a bloodhound.
32:55Probably just as well.
32:56The last lot we had, we bought from the blokes of Woodridge.
33:00Tastes a bit rubbery, though, from being in the water bottles.
33:04Wouldn't have stopped you getting a skid ball.
33:06Oh, you don't know it's the taste after a while.
33:09I don't know what they made it from, though, because, God, I was so sick the next day,
33:13I thought I was going to die.
33:15Nobody ever got that sick from tasting my brew.
33:19You're lucky, Hayes.
33:21You don't.
33:22What's the matter?
33:25Oh, God, Hayes.
33:27I'm sorry.
33:28I didn't mean to talk about dying or anything like that.
33:31She's right, Lizzie.
33:33I know exactly what you mean.
33:35I've looked down the wrong end of a bottle a couple of times myself.
33:38But your stuff was the best.
33:39Oh, hey, is that Phyllis Hunt?
33:44Yeah.
33:45Hey, Phyllis.
33:47Come and see what we've got over here.
33:55G'day, Phyll.
33:58That lousy bitch.
34:00No, Bea, don't.
34:01It's okay.
34:03I understand.
34:04Some people just can't handle being around, you know.
34:07Look, I want you all to know that I was real scared about coming here today.
34:18I didn't know whether you'd want to see me or not.
34:21Well, I haven't always been the nicest person to be around.
34:25But just being back here with me old mates,
34:28it's made me feel like I've got a real family.
34:33And I'm glad I came.
34:34So will we have.
34:48The poor little soul.
34:50When she told me what they'd done her in that hospital, I could have cried.
34:54Yeah.
34:54Just remember I'd have more guts than to give them credit for.
34:57I reckon Jude's doing the right thing looking after her like that.
35:00Yeah.
35:01I think Hazel is the bravest woman I've ever met, you know that?
35:05Once, Pixie, I think I agree with you.
35:08Lizzie, here you are.
35:09Now try them on for size.
35:11I'll be back later.
35:12Oh, Mrs. Pell.
35:13What are you doing?
35:14Open there.
35:15Oh, Bea, this is me new stuff.
35:16Come on, don't give us a suspense.
35:18Oh, you open it for me.
35:19I'm too nervous, silly old buzzer.
35:22Oh, hey, look at that.
35:25Oh, Lizzie, absolutely beautiful.
35:27Oh, God, look at that one.
35:31It looks like a bunch of scarves tied up with string.
35:34Oh, I can imagine walking out in the wind in that.
35:36Awful.
35:37Oh, hi, Jude.
35:39How's Hazel?
35:39Well, she's a bit tuckered out, but she's in great spirit,
35:42so after visiting all of her friends at Wentworth.
35:44Oh, that's good.
35:45And listen, what about you?
35:46You looked her a bit down in the mouth when you came home from work.
35:49Anything wrong?
35:50Oh, not really.
35:51I guess the job's not exactly what I expected, that's all.
35:54I see.
35:55All right, tell all.
35:57Well, it's not the work.
35:58I don't mind hard work.
36:00But?
36:01Well, it's a bloke I'm working for.
36:03I don't know, maybe I'm imagining it,
36:05but he always seems to be sort of close to me, too.
36:07Oh, one of those.
36:08Oh, I'm sure he's very nice, really.
36:10Oh, I bet he's a slob.
36:11Well, has he actually done anything?
36:13No.
36:14It's the customers as well.
36:15They're so rude.
36:16I felt like throwing a hamburger on one man's face.
36:20All Mr Dunn had to say to me at the end of my shift was,
36:22see you tomorrow, love.
36:23No thanks or anything.
36:25Well, just keep thinking of the money.
36:27It's a hell of a lot better than being at Wentworth, you know.
36:29Yeah.
36:30I'm so glad to get away from Joan Ferguson.
36:33I think I'm working for a brother.
36:36I think you're learning, too, kid.
36:38Open and close with the full harmony of all the instruments,
36:44Alec Grendel.
36:45Hello.
36:46So after both solo instruments of things used singly,
36:50we hear them in an enchanting combination of melodies.
36:53I didn't know you were a musical of her.
36:55Oh, God.
36:56There isn't any privacy around this joint.
36:58Well, thanks.
36:59That's the way you feel.
37:00Oh, no, don't go, Bea.
37:01What you want, love?
37:02I was just wondering where you were.
37:04Oh, bloody rubbish.
37:06It looked to me as if you were right into it.
37:09Well, I was just listening to the way she talks.
37:12Mm-hmm.
37:13Oh, Bea, you've seen me new clothes.
37:16Yeah, so?
37:17Well, how can I wear all that posh stuff when I talk like I should be wearing a flower bag?
37:22Look, love, why don't you just try being yourself?
37:27If Foxy's any kind of a mate, that's all he's going to expect.
37:30No, I can't let him down.
37:32I just have to give it a miss, that's all.
37:35What are you talking about?
37:36Well, if I don't turn up at the airport, he won't know where to find me,
37:40so I'll just have to write to him and tell him I had to go away.
37:43Just a minute, Lizzie Birdsworth.
37:45A lot of people have gone to a lot of trouble so you can have this day out with Foxy.
37:48Yeah, and I'm really grateful to him.
37:49Well, you've got a funny way of showing it.
37:51What do you mean?
37:52Reno gives you a day pass, Mrs. M goes out and buys all that gear for you,
37:55and suddenly you're not going to be bullied anymore.
37:57Oh, they were just doing their jobs.
37:59Yeah, what about the other women then?
38:00Well, what about them?
38:01They've got a stake in this too, you know.
38:04And where do you think the money came from, so you could do all this?
38:07Yeah, but I don't...
38:08Oh, look, you are going to go if I have to drag you there myself.
38:13Well, what about the way I talk?
38:16You know what you need?
38:17A teacher.
38:19And I know just where to get one.
38:21Petra.
38:23Right, first time.
38:24Oh, Bea, you little beauty.
38:27Come on.
38:28We haven't got much time.
38:30Hazel.
38:38Hazel.
38:47Hazel.
38:48Hazel.
38:49Oh, dude.
38:50Hazel, please give me a hand.
38:52Stop the pain.
38:52Put her on the bed.
38:53Stop the pain.
38:55Oh, you're not standing here.
38:56Hazel, you feel right?
38:57Hazel, please take these.
39:04Come on.
39:05Come on, this will help.
39:06Take this.
39:08That's a girl.
39:13Oh, they're not bloody good anymore.
39:17Nothing's any bloody good anymore.
39:19All right, Lizzie, we'll give it a go.
39:24Oh, good on you, love.
39:26I reckon I'll be talking like a lady in next to no time.
39:29What'll I do?
39:30Well, the first thing is to try and round out your vowels.
39:33Well, there's nothing the matter with them.
39:34I'm regular.
39:35Oh, you dirty lot of buggers.
39:38Not your vowels, Lizzie.
39:39Your vowels.
39:40Oh, what are you doing?
39:41Now, you say them after me.
39:44A.
39:46I.
39:47What's going on?
39:48A.
39:48When Petra is turning Lizzie into a lady.
39:51No.
39:52Well, she's suddenly got a job ahead of her.
39:54I.
39:54You're pretty clued up in this area.
39:55Do you reckon you could give her a hand?
39:57Oh, why not?
39:58Hope Foxy appreciates all this.
40:00Oh, good.
40:00I feel like a bloody fish.
40:03Now, try.
40:04How now, Bronco?
40:07Oh, first I'm talking to the fishes,
40:09and now I'm talking to the bloody cows.
40:10Oh, Lizzie.
40:12Oh, dear.
40:12All right.
40:17I don't know why you're bothering.
40:18Oh, why don't you rack off, Stevens?
40:20Lizzie may be no lady,
40:22but she's street ahead of whatever you are.
40:24Depends on your point of view.
40:26She's doing really well, Bea.
40:28Excuse me, I have to get a book.
40:29A book?
40:30Oh, Randy's going to give a department lesson.
40:33You can believe in miracles,
40:34but my enthusiasm doesn't stretch that far.
40:36What a pity your mouth does.
40:38Now, all you have to do is walk across the room
40:40and try not to let the book fall off.
40:42Oh, yeah.
40:43I've seen them do that in the movies.
40:45Well, come on and give it a try.
40:46It does wonders for your carriage.
40:49Carriage?
40:49God, I didn't know I had all those things.
40:52Oh, come on, Lizzie.
40:53You can do it.
40:54Well, do you reckon Foxy knows that I've got a carriage?
40:58Oh, no, he doesn't.
40:58Oh, she's doing it.
41:00Hey, Bea.
41:01Look at this.
41:02Oh, I did it.
41:03She's got it.
41:03She's got it.
41:03She's got it.
41:03She's got it.
41:03She's got it.
41:04She's got it.
41:07Oh, I reckon this lady's stuff is not as hard as I thought it would be.
41:13I don't know what you're talking about, Miss Ferguson, aren't I?
41:15Oh, yes, you do, Hunt.
41:17Your little numbers game racket.
41:18I hear you're refusing to do it.
41:20What?
41:20Don't play dumb with me, Hunt.
41:22You are backing out of an agreement, and I don't like that.
41:25You are cutting into my profits.
41:27I didn't know that you were...
41:28Well, now you do.
41:29You are working for me, Hunt, and don't you forget it.
41:33From now on, you do exactly as you are told.
41:39Good.
41:41Now, I think you'd better get back to work, don't you?
41:50Is it any better, honey?
41:54It's a bit better.
41:55That's a girl.
41:57Oh, look, Rosemary's bought you some tea.
41:59You feel like a cuppa?
42:00Yeah, I'm sorry I caused so much fuss before I checked on.
42:08Drink your cuppa, Hazel.
42:09Lean back on your pillows.
42:11Come on, sit up.
42:12That's a girl.
42:20Jude.
42:22Yes, love?
42:24I can't see properly.
42:27Don't leave me, Jude.
42:28I'm here, I'm here.
42:30Oh, hell, my eyes.
42:33What's going on with my bloody eyes?
42:37I'm going blind, Jude.
42:41I'm going blind.
42:42I'm going blind.
42:50He used to give me roses
42:53I wish he could again
42:59But that was on the outside
43:04And things were different then
43:09On the inside, the sun still shines
43:14And the rain falls down
43:19But the sun and rain are Christmas too
43:24When morning comes around
43:29Last night I dreamed we were together
43:34Sharing all the love for it more
43:40Till I had to face the nightmare
43:45Of waking up alone
43:50On the inside, the roses grow
43:53They don't mind the stony ground
44:00But the roses here are Christmas too
44:04When morning comes around
44:09When morning comes around
