00:00Petra Roberts, you have been found guilty of the murder of William Roberts.
00:05I hereby sentence you to life imprisonment with a non-parole period of five years.
00:12Is there anything you wish to say?
00:14I didn't.
00:19I didn't do it.
00:25Please, Jade.
00:27I can't stand this part anymore.
00:29You've got to help me.
00:30I will.
00:31I'll be here all the time, you'll see.
00:34You're my mate, aren't you?
00:35Of course I am.
00:37You're the only one I've got.
00:39You've got to help me.
00:40Help me out of this.
00:43Hazel.
00:44Please, Jade.
00:45Be my mate.
00:47My best mate.
00:49Help me.
00:50Please.
00:52Kill me.
00:54Kill me.
00:56Hazel.
00:57You don't know what you're saying.
01:00You don't mean it.
01:01But I do, Jude.
01:03God help me.
01:04I can't do it for myself or I would.
01:06Please.
01:07You're all of God.
01:09Just end it.
01:10I want it to be over.
01:11I can't.
01:16Hazel.
01:17I know what you're going through.
01:20If I could take some of your pain, I would suffer it myself, believe me.
01:25But you have asked me to kill you.
01:29And I can't do that.
01:30I just can't do that.
01:32I'm begging you, Jude.
01:34Look at me.
01:35Me life's over now.
01:37Every extra day I live bloody agony.
01:39I don't want to end up a vegetable.
01:43I just want to go to sleep.
01:45I want to sleep and never wake up.
01:47No more drugs or nothing.
01:49Oh, you can do it, Jude.
01:52Please, Hazel, don't.
01:53Look, just give me all me pills, leave them there, and you wouldn't even have to know when I took off it.
02:03Now, Hazel, you think that it's easy for me to look at you like that and still say no?
02:10But it's not up to you to decide when you're going to die, and God knows it's not up to me.
02:16Now, please, don't ask me again.
02:23Oh, sweetie, I've got no one for nothing.
02:36I'm sorry.
02:39God knows I'm sorry.
02:43Jude?
02:45Jude?
02:47Jude?
02:48Jude?
02:53Jude?
03:06Jude?
03:06So the freak hauled me up in front of the governor and fed her a load of balls?
03:10I must say, Renae bought most of it, too, and I lost a week's privileges.
03:13I still don't understand about Miss Ferguson.
03:15G'day, all you hard-working buggers!
03:18Well, this is Cinderella back from the ball.
03:20How did it go, love?
03:21Bloody beauty.
03:23Of course, it didn't turn out exactly as I expected, but you should have seen Mrs. Henderson's house, butler and all.
03:29Oh, it sounds gorgeous, Lizzie, but why are you back so soon?
03:32I had to bring her back, in case she turned into a pumpkin.
03:35How are the ugly sisters?
03:37Oh, for screws, they're real good sports.
03:39They treated me like a real person.
03:41I owe them heaps.
03:43How'd you get on with me not here?
03:44Oh, we managed.
03:45Well, Mrs. Reynolds took away all these privileges.
03:48Yeah, why?
03:49Oh, my fist slipped and landed on Stephens.
03:52And Miss Ferguson saw it.
03:53I would have fainted if it had been me.
03:55Oh, trust the freak to be in the wrong place at the right time.
03:59No, it was no accident she was there.
04:00Hey, do you reckon that she's in with Sonia and Phil's racket?
04:03Come off it.
04:04Phyllis hasn't got the brains to be partnered with an icy bitch like Stephens.
04:08No, Fergo's backing up.
04:10Phyllis is just the runner, so the two of them don't get their hands dirty.
04:12You mean Sonia's working with an officer?
04:15Are you sure, Bea?
04:17I didn't think that would be allowed.
04:18No, and it won't be either.
04:20Not now I know about her.
04:22But Miss Ferguson is pretty frightening.
04:24I mean, I wouldn't like to deal with her.
04:25No one is going to deal with her or Stephens either.
04:28And if I catch anyone doing business with either of them, there is going to be trouble.
04:32Now, do I make myself clear?
04:34Yes, Bea.
04:34But what about Phyllis?
04:36Phyllis's got any sense.
04:37She'll stick close to Stephens.
04:38That way it'll be safer for both of them.
04:43So, in the end, it was pretty hard to tell who was conning who.
04:46So, Lizzie's foxy wasn't the lord of the manor?
04:49Mm-hmm.
04:51Hardly.
04:52A lovable rogue.
04:53That'd be closer to the truth.
04:54I think Lizzie preferred him that way too.
04:57Well, between Lizzie and Mason, things are never dull around here.
05:00Oh, so you've spoken to her about the letters?
05:02Oh, yes, I've spoken to her.
05:03Rather, she spoke to me.
05:04She thought I was going to help her pick out prospective suitors.
05:08That sounds like her.
05:10I find it amazing that she got so much response from a Lonely Hearts ad.
05:14Yes, and I think that's just the beginning.
05:16Oh, more.
05:19I suppose there's no way we can put a stop to it.
05:21Oh, as long as she doesn't break any censorship rules,
05:23there's nothing we can do to stop her from writing to as many people as she wants to.
05:27We'll just have to see it doesn't get out of hand.
05:30I think we're fighting a losing battle.
05:32Well, and it turned out that he didn't have a hackney to scratch himself with.
05:37And there was this bloke buckling around with modern light tea in the garden.
05:43And Big Foxy thought all his businesses would come at once.
05:47Well, just as long as you had a good time, love.
05:49Too right I did.
05:50I could have brought home a few prezzies too,
05:52only they were watching me like a whore.
05:54Oh, it sounds heavenly, Lizzie.
05:56I've always wanted to live in a mansion like that.
05:58Well, play your cards right, Pixie, and you could inherit all this.
06:02The only trouble is you can take a rat's that go with it.
06:08Ooh, this place is full of warm air.
06:12But then it always is when you're sounding off at the mouth, isn't it, Bea?
06:15You are about as funny as a smack in the face with a wet fish, Stevens.
06:20Perhaps you just haven't got a sense of humour.
06:22Not where Ferguson's concerned.
06:25Now, I don't know what your little game is,
06:27but no one deals with the freak.
06:30Not while I'm top dog.
06:32Times change, Smith.
06:34You've got to change or else you get left behind.
06:37I decide when things change,
06:40and the women do as I say.
06:42Dead, Smith.
06:44Past tense.
06:45You see, I can give them what they want.
06:47Money.
06:48A little bit of fun now and then.
06:50The old times obsolete.
06:53And you know what that makes you, don't you?
06:56Well, I'm not quite ready to step down yet.
06:59So don't hold your breath.
07:02Fine.
07:03But if I were you, I'd get ready real fast.
07:06Whilst there's still somebody around to help you down the last step.
07:12I'm sorry.
07:26You may not believe this, but I really didn't expect you back.
07:30Then we were both wrong, weren't we?
07:35How long?
07:39Life.
07:40Then you'll get away with about five.
07:43Oh?
07:44And is that supposed to make me feel better?
07:47No, I suppose not.
07:51Needn't be that bad.
07:54You're smart, Petra.
07:55You're also a realist.
07:57Life in here is only as difficult as you choose to make it.
08:00It largely depends on who your friends are.
08:04You never give up, do you?
08:06You still think you're going to turn the women against me?
08:09Well, not me.
08:10She's been good to me.
08:11I owe her.
08:11You owe yourself.
08:13You spend half your life sparing everybody else, and look where it gets you.
08:16Isn't it time that you're wised up?
08:19I already have.
08:21You can count me out.
08:22Just offering you a chance to be on a winning streak for a change.
08:26Think about what I said.
08:28Life in here can be pretty bleak unless you choose your friends wisely.
08:32Good.
08:51You're not going to answer this one from the bloke with the German Shepherd, are you?
08:55Certainly not.
08:56I'm not even sure what it means.
08:58Oh, but some of these are so romantic, aren't they?
09:01Not any of these are.
09:03God, some of these blokes are dirty buggers.
09:06Yeah, just give me a look at that.
09:10Oh, you really finished up with the dregs, didn't you, Lizzie?
09:13Bloody typical.
09:14Somebody give me a hand with this.
09:15I can't write anything that doesn't make me sound like I'm real desperate.
09:18Oh, give us a look.
09:19It's that bloke that's a cook for the army.
09:21Well, it's time to get his body over here.
09:22He couldn't do worse with dinner than Mrs. O'Regan did.
09:24B, is there one G or two in ecstatic?
09:28Why not play safe and write thrilled?
09:30Good idea.
09:43You okay?
09:45I've been in my cell.
09:46But then Sonia came in, and all of a sudden it felt very crowded.
09:51Yeah, well, she doesn't want to mix with her peasants.
09:54Does Scott know?
09:56I think Mrs. Reynolds told him.
09:59She asked if I wanted to see him when I got back, but I couldn't be.
10:02I couldn't face anyone.
10:04I know I've so much consolation, love, but you really are needed around here.
10:08Those letters are piling up.
10:09Not now, babe.
10:10Please.
10:11You've got to start sooner, later.
10:13And she really could do with your help.
10:16Roberts may be trouble.
10:29We can handle Roberts.
10:31Smith might be a problem, though.
10:32Now that she knows I'm involved, she'll probably start working on the women.
10:35Yeah, she's been making a few noises, but then empty vessels usually do.
10:39Listen, Smith has been top dog for a long time.
10:41Don't you write her off yet?
10:43Is that a warning?
10:45Just friendly advice.
10:47She's got a very strong hold on those women.
10:52But she can't give them what we can.
10:54That's why she won't beat us.
10:56Yes, I think the numbers game is working well.
10:59But it's time to move on to bigger and better things.
11:02Such as?
11:03The liquor trade.
11:05Oh, forget it.
11:06If you think I'm going to smuggle liquor in here...
11:08Make it right here in Wintworth.
11:09Well, at least the women will.
11:11Then we'll sell it back to them and make a hundred percent profit.
11:14No, it's still too risky.
11:17Only for the women involved.
11:19See, if they get sprung, who can they blame?
11:22You?
11:23Nobody believes them.
11:27Yeah.
11:29Yeah, I like it.
11:31And I know just the person we can bring in on this deal with us.
11:38This bloke's 64 years old.
11:41Well, have a go, love.
11:42Maybe prefers older women.
11:43Well, if you write all that, every letter will be ten pages long.
11:47It's not important to go into long details of the wedding, Pixie.
11:50Yes, it is.
11:51I mean, well, what is a marriage without a wedding?
11:54You know, Pixie has towels marked hers and to whom it may concern.
11:57Oh, don't be mean.
11:59Hey, Pixie, what about this deck from the cow cockies?
12:01Do you want us to answer them too?
12:02Oh, no, I think I'll give those to Rosemary.
12:05Well, somehow I can't see myself in the country mooking all those cows and bulls.
12:10No, nor can I.
12:11Can we please get on with this?
12:13Now, we need to know about income, type of job, house, personal savings, previous marriages.
12:19Oh, previous marriages.
12:20I can tell you about that, but, oh, well, I don't know about all the rest.
12:24Not you love the blokes.
12:26Oh, golly, I didn't realise it would be so complicated.
12:29Well, why don't you just shove them all in a hat and have a lucky dip?
12:32And what would you be, Smith?
12:34A booby prize?
12:35Oh, no, Miss Ferguson.
12:36Wouldn't dream of taking your place.
12:43I've been searching for someone like you for years.
12:46Your ad was like an answer to a prayer.
12:50I don't see how anybody could be so desperate enough to write to anybody in here.
12:54Well, you'd be surprised how many of them are cops.
12:56You said they're not fussy.
12:58They'd marry anything.
12:59Oh, dear.
13:04What have we got here?
13:05Letter bugs.
13:08Is that your letter, Mason?
13:09Yes.
13:10Now, just a minute.
13:11Pick it up.
13:12Now.
13:12Now, Kay, you lot, clean the rest of that rubbish up and get back to your cells.
13:27It's hardly worth you a while coming in there, was it?
13:30It had its uses.
13:31Oh, I do agree.
13:33You and Ferguson are great, this comedy relief.
13:36What a double act.
13:38Laurel and Hardy.
13:42Okay.
13:46Smith, Murray, Roberts, Adler, Anderson and Shaw, you're in the laundry.
13:50Surprise, surprise.
13:51Stephens and Mason.
13:53Where the hell's Mason?
13:55Mason, you know you're not to leave this area after headcount.
13:58I'm sorry, Miss Ferguson.
13:59I had to get these for you.
14:02And what am I supposed to do with them?
14:04I could tell you, but you'd have trouble walking.
14:05Well, I'd like you to post them for me, thank you very much.
14:09Just these?
14:10Oh, well, there would have been more, but the lights weren't up.
14:13Get with the others.
14:15Stephens and Mason, you're on kitchen duty.
14:17The rest of you get to cleaning duties.
14:19Come on, move it.
14:20Right, Fisher, I want you in the kitchen.
14:23And scrub out those bins, they're disgusting.
14:24Well, I think at least you should go back and get your money.
14:35I mean, you're entitled to it.
14:37I'd rather go without the money than have to face that man again.
14:40Anyway, I'm sure I'll get something else soon.
14:42Well, of course you will, love.
14:43But you've got to get those newspapers, you know.
14:44Get in early.
14:45I already did.
14:46As a matter of fact, I've got an interview this morning.
14:48Oh, good girl.
14:49I don't suppose I'll get it.
14:50Oh, you've got to think positive.
14:52What is it you won't get?
14:53A new job.
14:54As a waitress.
14:55Oh, right.
14:56Well, I will personally coach you to make certain that you do get it.
15:00Now, how about a cup of coffee for an old digger?
15:01You weren't an old digger.
15:06Well, can I help it if I was born too late?
15:11What's the matter, love?
15:14Hazel?
15:17Wally, she's...
15:19She's asked me to give her an overdose.
15:22You refused, of course.
15:23Yes.
15:26Maybe I...
15:26Ah, Judy, there are no maybes.
15:28Well, how can you be so sure of that, Wally?
15:31She begged me.
15:33All she wants is to be put out of her misery.
15:35Do I have the right to deny her that?
15:37Would you?
15:38Oh, you mustn't talk that way.
15:39You mustn't even think that way.
15:41You know what it'll mean, don't you?
15:42You go straight back to Wentworth.
15:43Yeah, well, I have thought of that.
15:45Yeah.
15:46That's the last thing we want.
15:47Especially Hazel.
15:50You're right.
15:52You always are.
15:53It's just that looking at her like that, it's breaking my heart.
15:58I hope it'll be over soon.
16:01Me too.
16:04For all air sakes.
16:05A little job for you, Birdsworth.
16:18Turn round, we're going to the kitchen.
16:20But I've just taken all the dirty stuff from the...
16:23Don't argue, Birdsworth.
16:24Just do as you're told.
16:27But none of those dirty tea towels will be washed up yet, Miss Ferguson.
16:30And you will be, Birdsworth, if you give me any more arguments.
16:33Now, I'm losing my patience, Birdsworth, and that means I could get very nasty, so move.
16:44You sure we need this many?
16:47Heaven's all those calories.
16:48I'm not interested in potatoes, Pixie, just the peelings.
16:51Potato peelings?
16:52Yuck!
16:53Anyway, they just go straight into the bin.
16:55Not today, they don't.
16:56You're going to steal them.
16:57Me?
16:58But I don't want them.
16:59But I do.
17:00And some yeast and sugar.
17:02Well, what on earth are you going to do with them?
17:04That's not your concern.
17:06Just keep peeling.
17:08Well, how are you two managing?
17:11Heavens above, girl.
17:12What do you think you're doing?
17:13We're not expecting an invasion, you know.
17:16Yes, well...
17:17Well, I know we've done quite a few, but...
17:20Well, perhaps we could freeze them.
17:22Freeze them?
17:23Freeze?
17:24You must have a brain the size of a pea girl.
17:27I can't trust you to do anything.
17:29Now, just clear that mess up.
17:32Freeze them deep.
17:34Never at all.
17:35I'm fine.
17:36And don't think you're going to come cluttering up my kitchen with that.
17:40What are you doing back so soon, anyway?
17:42I've been forced...
17:42I'm afraid Birdsworth's a little forgetful, Mrs. O'Regan.
17:45It seems that senility is finally taking its toll.
17:48Hey, Birdsworth.
17:49Oh, I forgot to get all the dirty details.
17:52Well, you can look for them yourself.
17:54Heaven knows I've got enough to do.
18:03Pillowcases?
18:04You heard her, Birdsworth.
18:05Get the pillowcases.
18:06Four.
18:08Two for peelings.
18:09Two for sugar.
18:10But I don't understand...
18:11Come on, we haven't got much time.
18:12Start loading.
18:22And always smile at them, but don't let them take too long to order.
18:26Remember, we fall between the hamburger and thick shake and the finger bowl set.
18:29We can give them their prawn cocktail, tea bun and chocolate mouse for around ten bucks.
18:34Chocolate mouse?
18:35Try to.
18:35Well, that uniform's not too great, but we'll see how you go before we get your new one.
18:41Now, don't forget, every minute that they sit out there costs us money, so move them along, right?
18:45Yeah, I think so.
18:47Well, off you go then.
18:48Good luck.
18:48Oh, and push the chicken schnitzel.
18:50We over-ordered.
18:57Hello, I'm your waitress, Rosemary.
18:59May I take your order?
19:01I can recommend the chicken schnitzel.
19:03And it's just not good enough, Mrs. Reynolds.
19:06I swear, that girl's cuckoo.
19:07Really, I do.
19:09Every time she comes into my kitchen, there's trouble.
19:11Yes, I understand, Mrs. O'Regan, but please, how much sugar is missing?
19:15You want me to be exact?
19:16They're 50 kilo bags, Mrs. Reynolds.
19:18All I can say is there's quite a lot missing from one of the sacks.
19:22And the yeast.
19:23Don't forget the yeast.
19:24I haven't forgotten.
19:25I'll order an immediate cell search, and I'm quite sure we'll find it.
19:28But don't worry.
19:29Whoever the culprit is, I can promise you she'll be punished.
19:32It's that girl, you mark my words.
19:34She's crazy as a loon.
19:35What's this?
19:58Tomato soup.
19:59I can see that.
20:01What's it doing here?
20:03Well, you ordered it.
20:05No way.
20:06I ordered a seafood cocktail.
20:08But I voted down.
20:11Tomato soup table 12.
20:13This is table 12, isn't it?
20:14Oh, how the hell should I know?
20:17You're the one who works here.
20:18I'm sorry.
20:19Well, don't you stand there, take it away and bring me back what I ordered.
20:21Something troubling you, sir?
20:23Yes.
20:24Your waitress is.
20:26Look, all I want is a seafood cocktail.
20:28Now, that's not too hard for you, is it?
20:30I think we can manage that.
20:33Rosemary, take the seafood.
20:37Oh, Mr. Brandon, sorry.
20:40Get changed, kid.
20:42This place can't afford you.
20:45Look, I'm really sorry.
20:50If you tell us what the prize was, maybe we can all play.
20:53That's enough, Smith.
20:54You'll know when we find it.
20:55Might be looking for all your love letters, Pitsy.
20:57Oh, hardly.
20:57They're from blokes.
20:58They've been no use to Ferguson.
20:59I said, that's enough.
21:02We're not doing this for your amusement.
21:12Anything?
21:13No, nothing.
21:15I've checked up there, but I haven't looked at that bed yet, though.
21:22There's nothing.
21:24If you ask me, we're wasting our time.
21:26Lizzie?
21:27Shh.
21:28Not a word.
21:29All right.
21:30The show's over.
21:32Get back to work.
21:32Oh, what a shame.
21:33Now, we'll never find out what you do as an uncle.
21:36Keep it up, Smith.
21:37I'm dying to charge somebody.
21:39June.
22:03Jude!
22:07Julie!
22:07Julie!
22:08Julie!
22:08Julie!
22:08Julie!
22:08Julie!
22:09Jesus.
22:32Useless! Bloody useless!
22:35Hazel, what are you doing?
22:37I called and called you.
22:39I'm here now, honey.
22:41Come on, let's get back into bed.
22:43Come on.
22:44I wanted to find out when we kittens
22:46and I couldn't find me back.
22:48I couldn't even...
22:49I couldn't even get across the floor to me.
22:51Hazel, I'll find it for you. You like it, love.
22:54I can't take much more of this change.
22:57I can't stand it anymore.
23:00It's all right, Hazel.
23:02Everything's gonna be all right.
23:05I promise you.
23:06Nothing?
23:08Nothing at all?
23:09No, not a thing.
23:11We've been through the place with a fine tooth comb.
23:13And Mason's cell?
23:14Oh, Mrs. Powell and I checked that together.
23:16It's clean.
23:17It's ridiculous.
23:18Those goods must be somewhere.
23:19Obviously, someone's planning on making some form of alcohol.
23:22Yeah, well, we've checked all the store cupboards.
23:24God, we've practically torn the prison apart.
23:27Then we'll just keep looking till we find it.
23:29Oh, I agree.
23:30Of course, Governor.
23:31But frankly, we don't have the time to be making full-scale cell searches.
23:34No, I want the women thrown off guard.
23:36Spot checks whenever you have time.
23:38And I want to speak to Mason and whoever else was on kitchen duty during the last two days.
23:44I'll attend to that, Governor.
23:45Good.
23:46They're not getting away with this one.
23:49Oh, please, Miss Ferguson.
23:51Shut up, Mason.
23:52Now, Mason.
23:53A little birdie has told me that you've been a bad girl.
23:56Yes, and that same birdie also told me that you stole sugar and yeast from the kitchen.
24:05Put it in here.
24:07Now, tut tut, Mason.
24:08If I hadn't come along and found this, the officers would have been searching for God knows how long.
24:13But you knew you came with this the end.
24:15Are you suggesting that I was part of this, Mason?
24:17Yes.
24:18Um, I mean, no.
24:19No.
24:20That's better.
24:21Now, Mason, you're going to the Governor and you're going to tell her that you stole this all on your own.
24:26Yes, but what will I say if she asks me why?
24:28Oh, I'm sure you'll think of something on your way, Mason.
24:32She counted so much on getting out of here.
24:35We both did.
24:36I know what she must be going through.
24:38Give her time, Scott.
24:40I've asked Meg to keep an eye on her and apparently she's much more relaxed today.
24:45So it's all right if I visit her?
24:47Of course.
24:48And thanks for going through the proper channels.
24:50We all know how sticky things can get when you start bending the rules.
24:53Now, cheer up.
24:55At least you're not completely separated so you can help her adapt.
24:59Thanks.
25:00You've been very understanding.
25:01Excuse me, Governor, I've got Mason outside and the missing goods.
25:06Oh, Lord.
25:07I thought as much.
25:08Can I bring her in?
25:09Yes, please.
25:10Scott?
25:11Yeah, I've got things to do in the dispensary.
25:13Thanks again.
25:14Pleasure.
25:15Now, Mason, I don't imagine you were playing Santa Claus.
25:20What exactly did you intend to do with this?
25:22It's sugar.
25:23And yeast.
25:24Well, I...
25:25I stole it.
25:26Yes, you see, I wanted to make a cake.
25:28A wedding cake.
25:29A wedding cake.
25:30Well, you should always be prepared.
25:31Now, Daddy always used to say that.
25:32Well, you never know.
25:33I might have already written to my future husband.
25:34And exactly how did you intend to cook it?
25:36Cook?
25:37Oh, I didn't think of that.
25:38It was just a spur of the moment thing.
25:39Pixie, you don't use yeast in a cake.
25:40You don't?
25:41Well, I know you use it in bread.
25:42Well, how do you get the cake to rise?
25:43Never mind.
25:44Now, you will lose telephone privileges for a week.
25:45And I am not going to warn you again.
25:46If I have any more of this nonsense from you, you will be put in solitary.
25:47Is that clear?
25:48Yes, Mrs. Reynolds.
25:49And I am sorry.
25:50Wait outside, please.
25:51Wait.
25:52Wait.
25:53Wait.
25:54Wait.
25:55Wait.
25:56Wait.
25:57Wait.
25:58Wait.
25:59Wait.
26:00Wait.
26:01Wait.
26:02Wait.
26:03Wait.
26:04Wait.
26:05Wait.
26:06Wait.
26:07Wait.
26:08Wait.
26:09Wait.
26:10Wait.
26:11Wait.
26:12Wait.
26:13Wait.
26:15What do you mind the stupidest place?
26:16Well, is that that appears to be that?
26:18Yes, it would seem so.
26:20And you found this in her cell?
26:22Yes, but it definitely wasn't there when we conducted the search.
26:25She must have taken it away and hidden it somewhere and then brought it back when things
26:29were safe.
26:30A wedding cake.
26:32She never ceases to amaze me.
26:34Yes.
26:36Mason's full of surprises.
26:38Well, that sounds alright.
26:40That sounds alright. I hate the cleaning side of it, but I don't mind taking my turn at cooking.
26:45Yeah, well tonight's my turn. I'm not much of a hand in anything fancy, but I don't get fish and chips.
26:50Oh, it sounds good to me. All we need is a nice cold beer to wash it down.
26:53Yeah. What? No beer! I told you when you came here there is no booze allowed on the premises.
26:59Hang on, Judy. And I meant it. Now, if you can't follow the rules, you'll have to get out.
27:04Look, I didn't mean it. I know the rules. In case you have forgotten, there is a woman upstairs dying.
27:10And all you two can think of is bloody beer!
27:14Gee, she's really cracking up.
27:16Does she always come on that heavy?
27:18Nah. Most of the time, she's a real good sort.
27:21It's just that Hazel's getting worse every day. Makes it bloody hard on all of us.
27:25She's already asked me to give her an overdose.
27:28How?
27:29Bet she's put the hard word on Jude, too.
27:31But you know, if it was me, I reckon I'd have done it for her by now.
27:35You're having me on.
27:36Well, if Hazel's in that much pain, wouldn't it be kinder to just, you know?
27:40There's nothing kind about killing someone. Not ever.
27:45And it doesn't change anything. You have to believe that.
27:49You're so sweet, Scott.
27:51But it changes everything and you know it.
27:54Yeah, all right. Just a bit.
27:57But the wedding is still...
27:58Oh, it will be wonderful.
28:00Even if I get parole, we'll have about four years to plan it.
28:04It doesn't have to be that way.
28:06We can be married here. Now.
28:09Here at Wentworth.
28:14You're crazy, Scott. It's impossible.
28:16Why is it? It's been done before.
28:19Look, it's you I'm thinking of, not the wedding.
28:22What do you think would happen to your career
28:25if your medical colleagues found out your wife was in prison for murder?
28:28I don't care about that.
28:29What matters is you.
28:31Nothing means anything without you.
28:33We're going to be married, Petra.
28:37Please, Scott. Just wait for the appeal.
28:39Maybe then.
28:41Darling, I waited long enough.
28:43Look, I know it's not the marriage we planned.
28:45But please, think about it.
28:56Now, come on, Lizzie.
28:58Don't you go giving me that crap about not knowing what's happening.
29:00You know everything that goes on in this place.
29:02So what gives?
29:04Honestly, Bea, I don't know anything about it.
29:06Oh, but I can guess.
29:08Brought your little mate back to you.
29:10She really should be more careful who she associates with.
29:12Shouldn't you, Mason?
29:16Bitch.
29:17Come and sit down, love. What'd she do to you?
29:19Please, Lizzie. She might come back.
29:21She's got you bloody terrified.
29:23Now, come on, Pixie. What's going on?
29:25It was Sonia.
29:26Oh, yeah, that figures.
29:27But what were the screws after?
29:29Well, she made me steal some sugar and yeast for me.
29:31Sugar and yeast from the kitchen.
29:32Sugar and yeast?
29:33Lizzie.
29:35Yeah.
29:37And some potato peels.
29:39So you can guess what that's for.
29:41Yes, I can. Booze.
29:42And you tried to tell me you didn't know what was going on.
29:45Well, it wasn't me. It wasn't my idea.
29:47The freak stood over us and made us load up the skip.
29:50Do you reckon they're going to make a brew-up?
29:52No, I don't reckon they're going to make a brew-up.
29:54I reckon they're going to get someone to do it for them.
29:56And I can just guess who that's going to be.
29:58Well, they didn't say a word to me.
30:00And that's the honest truth.
30:02Well, at least we can stuff their plans up before they get started.
30:05Hey, you lot. Did anyone mention booze to you?
30:07No.
30:08Did they get all of it?
30:12Well, it's in our cell, in the cupboard.
30:17Well, let's see how our smart-ass little friends like it
30:21when their plan goes right down the drain.
30:24Thanks for being so discreet out there, Colleen.
30:33It's not easy for us at the moment.
30:36But once Petra and I are married...
30:38Listen, Scott. I don't want you to think I am interfering, but I...
30:41Scott.
30:42Duty rang about five minutes ago.
30:43Hazel Kent's much worse.
30:45Thanks.
30:46I'll get over there straight away.
30:47Sorry about the coffee.
30:49Oh, hell.
30:52Problem?
30:53Could be.
30:55Scott wants Petra to marry him straight away.
30:58Of course, I know it's not the first time we've had a wedding in here...
31:03Oh, but it's different when it's a prisoner and someone employed in the prison, right?
31:06Exactly. Here it's free.
31:08Has Roberts accepted?
31:10He was being very persuasive.
31:13She could well refuse.
31:15Would you?
31:17Probably not, but then I'm the sentimental type.
31:20Yes, well, let's hope that Richards doesn't find out.
31:23Somehow, I don't think he is the sentimental type.
31:35Looking for something, Smith?
31:37You know bloody well what I'm looking for, Ferguson.
31:40But don't you try and heavy me, because I don't scare quite as easily as Pixie.
31:43Oh, I wouldn't dream of it, Smith.
31:45And don't let me interrupt.
31:47I'll even give you a hand if you like.
31:51You're cold, Smith.
31:53Very cold.
31:54Gonna have to get a lot warmer than that if you're gonna find it.
31:56Where have you hidden it, you bitch?
31:58Oh, come on, Smith.
31:59You've had your clue.
32:00You wouldn't want me to make it too easy for you, would you?
32:04And, um, clean all this up before you leave.
32:07You could get yourself a charge for a mess like that.
32:19Patience as well as can be expected.
32:21That's what your Doc's saying.
32:24What the hell's with that needle anyhow?
32:27Just something to make you rest and take the pain away for a while.
32:31Yeah.
32:32Well, why don't you give me something to take me away for a while?
32:35That's what I really want.
32:37I asked Jude to do it.
32:40I bloody begged her.
32:42But she knocked me back.
32:44Oh, come on, you must have known she'd say no.
32:47I don't want to lay all this on her, Doc.
32:50This isn't like I stand it anymore.
32:53And you're the only one who can help me.
32:58Except for you, Doc.
33:01You could do it.
33:03Hazel, there are times when I don't like my job very much,
33:06and this is one of them.
33:07Then?
33:08No.
33:09It doesn't matter what I think's right or wrong.
33:11I took an oath to save life, not to take it.
33:14I'm sorry, Liz.
33:16Yeah, I know.
33:17Everyone's bloody sorry.
33:19Me, most of all.
33:26Just what do you think you're playing at, Stevens?
33:28Are you not?
33:29Just remember, next time you feel like calling in, don't.
33:32I won't know where that stuff is.
33:34All of it.
33:35Because nobody is making booze in here.
33:37Understand?
33:38I'll try it and I'll bust the deal wide open.
33:42And who do you think you are, Elliot Ness?
33:45Look, you've had your way in here for so long, you just don't know when to give in.
33:49Well, it's over.
33:51Anything that happens from now on in is none of your business.
33:54Well, maybe.
33:56This will make it my business!
34:04Too bad, Smith.
34:06All that energy down the drain, and nobody here to be impressed by it.
34:10What's happening here, ladies?
34:17Why don't you tell her?
34:19Nothing, Mrs. Pearl.
34:21Bea and I were just having a chat.
34:23Just a friendly word of advice, Mrs. Pearl.
34:25That's right.
34:26And I want to thank you, Bea.
34:28Me?
34:29Anytime.
34:30You would have found me.
34:49Now, I want you to take this duty.
34:51I'm not just writing it for the practice.
34:53Look, I'm okay.
34:54I don't need anything.
34:55I'm not even sick.
34:56You will be if you keep this up.
34:58Now, you're running yourself into the ground.
35:00Now, this is full of vitamin B and iron.
35:02It'll help pick you up.
35:03Okay, you're the doctor.
35:05Don't worry.
35:06We'll see if she takes it.
35:07Good.
35:08How about a cuppa, eh?
35:09Yeah, why not?
35:12How long has she got?
35:16I can't really say, Judy.
35:19That's why I think it might be best if I arrange for her to go into hospital.
35:22No!
35:23Look, we've been through this before.
35:25Hazel doesn't want to die in hospital.
35:27Judy, it's not that simple.
35:30The end might not be as soon as we thought.
35:33What are you saying?
35:34When you see her, she's getting worse every day.
35:37No.
35:38Mentally, she's worse.
35:39But physically, she's the same.
35:40In fact, her vital signs have improved.
35:42I don't understand.
35:43You say she's getting better?
35:44I can't believe that.
35:45No, I'm not saying that at all.
35:46What I am saying is that it may be weeks, even months, before she dies.
35:50And I don't think you're in any fit state to cope with that.
35:55I don't know what's the best thing to do.
36:00I mean, if we put her in hospital, would they let her die with some dignity, quietly and quickly?
36:06Judy, it's their job to keep people alive any way they can.
36:11And with any drugs at their disposal.
36:14I don't know what's right to do.
36:17Hazel can't take any more of this torture.
36:23Neither can I.
36:24I've been looking for you, Birdsworth.
36:31I haven't done anything, Miss Ferguson.
36:34I'm an old woman.
36:35I don't want to get into any trouble.
36:37And there won't be any Birdsworth as long as you do as you're told.
36:39Now, come with me.
36:40Yeah, but...
36:41Birdsworth, come quietly.
36:44We don't want an audience, do we?
36:54You okay, Jude?
36:59You look like death warmed up.
37:01Oh, sorry, I mean...
37:02Oh, don't worry about it.
37:03It's no use pretending it's not happening.
37:06Is that Hazel's tray?
37:08Yeah.
37:09I left it up there for ages, but she hasn't touched a thing.
37:11Yeah, well, I don't suppose she can see much point in eating.
37:16Listen, Betty.
37:18Did Hazel say anything to you?
37:20I know what you mean.
37:28Every time I go up there, she goes on about putting her out of her misery.
37:32I was a bit hard on her, but hell, she knows how I feel, and enough's enough.
37:36Yeah, it is.
37:39Guess I might as well chuck this lot out, then.
37:44You sure you're okay?
37:47Yeah, I'll manage.
37:48It's almost time for her pills anyway.
37:51I'll go and try and cheer her up.
37:53Yeah.
37:55Well, I wish you luck.
37:59I reckon you got Buckley's.
38:18Please, Miss Ferguson.
38:20Supposing I don't get back before luck up?
38:21They'll come looking for me.
38:22You'll get back, Birdsworth, providing you finish your work.
38:25What work?
38:26Don't come the senility trick with me, Birdsworth.
38:27Listen, we didn't take those potato peelings to make a compost heap.
38:28Now, come on!
38:29Please, Miss Ferguson, supposing I don't get back before Lockup, they'll come looking for me.
38:39You'll get back, Birdsworth, providing you finish your work.
38:43What work?
38:43Don't come the senility trick with me, Birdsworth.
38:47Listen, we didn't take those potato peelings to make a compost heap.
38:50Now, come on!
38:59Do you want me to make a broom?
39:07Oh, you catch on real quick, Birdsworth.
39:10You see, I've heard on the grapevine that you fancy yourself as a first-rate bootlegger.
39:15Now's your chance to prove it.
39:17You got everything you need?
39:19Well, water.
39:21It's in the bins.
39:22You see, Birdsworth, I think of everything.
39:26Anything at all to make life easier for you.
39:29Well, I don't know.
39:32I've got me recipe, but there isn't any still.
39:36So I can only do wine, and that'll take weeks to ferment.
39:40Wine will do very nicely, thank you, Birdsworth.
39:43I'm sure the women won't be that fussy as long as it's got a kick.
39:46Now get cracking, I'm not a word to anyone.
39:48Surprising is true.
39:50Someone comes looking for me.
39:52Oh, I've already thought of that.
39:54I'll tell them I found all this stuff in here and brought you in to confront you with it.
39:59Then you'll have all the explaining to do.
40:02So you see, Birdsworth, whatever happens, you can't win.
40:07I can't lose.
40:09There.
40:25There.
40:26Now that feels better, doesn't it?
40:27I've just been lying here thinking what a waste of my whole life's been.
40:33Hazel, that's not true.
40:35I mean, what about your kids?
40:37Yeah.
40:38You know, I read somewhere once that if you have children, will you never really die?
40:45There's always someone around that remembers you.
40:49You reckon that's true, Jude?
40:51Yeah, that's true, Hazel.
40:54Now here, honey.
40:55Nice, fresh pillow for you.
40:57Make you more comfortable, huh?
40:59Well, let's say we brush your hair a bit guzzy up, you know?
41:07Doesn't seem much point.
41:09No one will see it in here.
41:12What are you making all this fuss for, anyway?
41:18Jude, you're going to do it, aren't you?
41:22Yes, love.
41:26If you're sure.
41:29If you're ready.
41:30I'm ready.
41:32Oh, good on you, Jude.
41:38There.
41:43Oh, don't cry, love.
41:46Look at me.
41:48I'm happy.
41:49Honest.
41:50I know, love.
41:52You've been a real great mate, Jude.
41:57I never said this to no other woman.
42:00Not even me mum.
42:03But I love you, Jude.
42:05Oh, and I love you, Hazel.
42:12Will you stay with me?
42:14Until I go to sleep?
42:17Yes.
42:19I'll stay.
42:20I'm right here, Hazel.
42:22I wish you good again.
42:25I wish you good again.
42:44But that was on the outside.
42:46And things were different then
42:52On the inside the sun still shines
42:57And the rain falls down
43:02But the sun and rain are Christmas too
43:06When morning comes around
43:11Last night I dreamed we worked together
43:16Sharing all the love ignored
43:22Till I had to face the nightmare
43:27Of waking up alone
43:32On the inside the roses grow
43:36They don't mind the stony ground
43:42But the roses here are Christmas too
43:47When morning comes around
43:52When morning comes around
