00:00Did you give this poor excuse for wine to young Bobby?
00:08Yes, and she was happy with the deal too.
00:11Well, for your information, she's made herself very ill drinking this little money spinner of yours.
00:16So?
00:19I didn't force her to drink it. I was merely doing her a favour.
00:22Well, now, you're going to do us a favour.
00:26Give her a drink, Cass.
00:30Oh, no.
00:45That's not enough.
00:48You're going to drink all three bottles.
00:51Better get started, dear.
01:00Oh, anything I can do to help, Mitchell?
01:25Yeah, you can get me out of this rotten, crappy piss-pot hole.
01:28That will be quite enough of that, young lady.
01:30I'm sorry, I'm not feeling myself today. I'm a bit crook in the guts.
01:34Do you want to see the doctor?
01:35No, I'll be all right in a bit. Just leave me alone.
01:39Not feeling yourself, eh?
01:41It wouldn't have anything to do with drink, I don't suppose.
01:44I don't know what you're talking about.
01:45Oh, alcohol is strictly forbidden in here, Mitchell. You know that. You'll be put on a charge.
01:49Look, there's no booze in here. You can't prove a thing.
01:52Oh, you're probably right. But we'll put your case to the Governor in the morning.
01:57Hey, will I give her the last bottle, men?
02:14Yeah, and then her insides will be as rotten as the rest of us.
02:20Two should do her for the moment. We'll go to three if there's a next time.
02:25Oh, well, that is a charming little sight.
02:34OK, Mason, get Stevens to her cell.
02:36Please, Miss Ferguson, I don't like drunks very much.
02:40You bet.
02:43Well done, Evan. So this is your doing, is it?
02:46Oh, Miss Ferguson, I see you've been involved in this business as well.
02:50What are you talking about?
02:51Well, I've just come from Mitchell's cell, and she's drunk too.
02:54Oh, yeah. Yeah, I just put Stevens on a charge for all of this.
02:58All right, you lot. Where did she get the booze from?
03:05Oh, yeah.
03:07I forgot.
03:09You never lag on your mates, do you?
03:11Daphne, I really don't think the professional section's the right place for you to be looking for a job.
03:24Oh, you're not wrong, Narelle.
03:26I can't even read half of them ads.
03:29Fat chance I've got to getting anything anyway.
03:30Well, it's right, Daphne.
03:32It depends where you look.
03:33Now, first, you find out what you're interested in doing.
03:35Oh, lots of things that, you know, get paid for most of them.
03:40Oh, who cares?
03:41Does anyone want a coffee or something?
03:43No, there you go.
03:44No, I'll suit you soon.
03:45I've got it. Stay there.
03:49Please, you've got to help me.
03:50Oh, no, no, come on, come on. Sit down. Sit down here.
03:52I took Susan. He wants her back. He's coming after me.
03:55Daphne, get a cup of tea with you. Don't worry. We'll take care of everything.
03:58Oh, but he's drunk. Whenever he's wagged, he's really violent.
04:00Don't worry. We're used to her with this sort of place as well.
04:02Oh, yeah. With a gun.
04:05It's all right. It's all right.
04:17You look revolting, Stevens.
04:19You're no oil painting yourself.
04:21Careful. You're already on one charge.
04:24Here. Thanks for the backstack.
04:27Small price to pay for staying in business.
04:30Is that so?
04:33What's your contribution, then?
04:35Well, I'll get rid of the rest of the boos.
04:38And you tell the Governor that only you were responsible for making the wine.
04:43And that you and Mitchell decided to go on a bit of a binge.
04:46Breaking your neck to be helpful, aren't you?
04:47It's called power, Stevens.
04:49That's why I've got more to lose than you have.
04:52What about Mitchell?
04:53Don't worry about Mitchell.
04:55About to pay her a little visit.
04:56You know, Stevens.
05:03Somehow throwing up really suits you.
05:06It's not the first time he's threatened to kill me.
05:16Well, are the police aware of this?
05:17No.
05:18Wouldn't do no good.
05:20It's only a domestic.
05:23Is he out there?
05:24Can you see him?
05:25I can't see her bloody feet.
05:27You sure he's coming?
05:28Too right.
05:28He's not going to be happy till he kills me and takes those back.
05:31Come on, sit down, Claire.
05:33Now, how does he know you're at Driscoll House?
05:35It's the first place he'd look.
05:37I was telling him for months I was going to take Susan Nick off here.
05:40Well, is there any chance you might think you've gone to family or friends?
05:43What's family?
05:44I haven't got any friends anymore either.
05:46That bastard took care of that.
05:47Get your arse out of here, you bitch!
06:01I want me king!
06:04He'll kill us.
06:05Oh, no, he will.
06:07Police are on the way.
06:08Look, get away from the window.
06:09Come on.
06:09What's his name?
06:10When?
06:13We'll get you upstairs.
06:14Daphne, you're going to have to mind.
06:15I want to be near a door.
06:17Wally, stay with him.
06:20Shut the door.
06:21I'll see if I can reason with him.
06:22I'm coming with you.
06:23Well, all right then.
06:24But you stay absolutely still.
06:27Now, you go on.
06:28Get upstairs, please.
06:31Are you there, Wayne?
06:34Your wife and baby are safe.
06:36Now, you don't want them hurt, do you?
06:39Baby's dirty!
06:41Ah, take them out to the other room.
06:42Go to the back.
06:47I'm opening the door, Wayne.
06:54Where is she, you bitch?
06:55And she's frightened for the baby now.
06:57Why can't we talk about this?
06:59Get Susie and Claire now!
07:01All right, all right.
07:02Just put the gun down.
07:03Somebody might get hurt.
07:04Well, the doctor's on his way.
07:22She was damn lucky.
07:23The graze is bad enough.
07:25You sure you're all right?
07:26Anything you want?
07:27Oh, no, no, thanks, Wally.
07:28I'll be all right.
07:30Look, it's Claire I'm really worried about.
07:31Will her husband be released?
07:33No, we'll be holding on to him for a while.
07:35You risk your life, Mrs. Dodds.
07:36It's not very wise.
07:38Oh, well, in this job,
07:39you have to make quick decisions.
07:40They may not be the right ones,
07:41but you can't regret them afterwards.
07:43No, I'm really worried about Claire.
07:45Look, if she comes back tonight, Wally,
07:47could you look after her?
07:47I'm feeling a bit shaken up.
07:49We'll be in touch in a couple of days, Mrs. Dodds.
07:51Thanks again for your help,
07:52and you take care of yourself.
07:54Oh, I couldn't be in better hands.
07:56Funny how Sonia didn't make it to tea, isn't it?
08:03Yes, she must have gone right off her food.
08:05And other things with a bit of luck.
08:08Ah, good on you, Min.
08:09You're a beaut top dog.
08:10Yeah, I reckon Bea would really approve of you, Min.
08:13And we'll cast her back to you up,
08:15and we'll all support you, love.
08:17Oh, yeah.
08:19Hang about.
08:20Well, I hate to put the kibosh on this party,
08:23but someone's going to have to pay for it.
08:25I don't think the freak's going to let you
08:26bust up one of her little rackets.
08:28I know that, Judy.
08:30But if we stick together, all of us,
08:32it's going to make it very difficult for her
08:35to break us down.
08:36Oh, she's done it before.
08:38She just gets you on your own,
08:40and you're a goner.
08:41Lizzie's right, you know.
08:42Oh, we'll find a weak spot.
08:44It'll take time.
08:46Meanwhile, we can all keep working at it together.
08:49At least the booze racket's almost under control.
08:52Yeah, the trouble is the women want a bit of booze and gambling.
08:56I mean, there's bugger all else to do in here.
08:58And if the only person they can get it from is the freak,
09:01well, what other choice have they got?
09:02You know something, Judy?
09:04You could be right.
09:06What do you mean, Min?
09:07You're not going to give up, are you?
09:09Never.
09:11There's going to be some healthy competition.
09:14Oh, how are you going to do that, Min?
09:16Hey, you wait and see.
09:17Ferguson won't know what's hit her.
09:20Oh, yeah.
09:20Had a nice day, Mitchell?
09:48You know, you disappoint me, Mitchell.
09:56I thought you were more sensible.
10:00But then you do know when to keep quiet.
10:04And that's very important in here.
10:08So make sure you remember.
10:12Well?
10:13I might just call back later.
10:22Just to make sure.
10:24Mitchell, Stevens, you're with the governor first up.
10:51Right?
10:54Our son, you didn't seem too happy about that, Judy.
10:57Robert Mason, Parker, Donovan, Brent, Green, and Birdsworth to the laundry.
11:01Oh, I don't think Jude's feeling very well, Miss Ferguson.
11:05You've been hitting the slops too, have you, Brad?
11:08Maybe you want to see the governor about something.
11:11She needs to see the doc, Miss Ferguson.
11:13Watch yourself, Birdsworth.
11:14You're not off the hook yet, either.
11:16Can I see the doctor?
11:16You'll go at the bottom of the list and wait your turn like everyone else.
11:21Now get to the kitchen with Brodie.
11:23The rest of you move out, quickly.
11:30Excuse me, Miss Ferguson.
11:32Has there been any word about my appeal?
11:35You've got to be joking.
11:37It's going to take more than an appeal to get the likes of you out of here.
11:41Come on, Petra.
11:42We're wasting our time.
11:50You know, Daphne, I think waitressing might be the answer for you.
11:54You're doing a top job.
11:55That wouldn't be a hint for another cup of coffee, would it, by any chance?
11:58Am I that easy to read?
12:00Yes, at times.
12:01Oh, I am sorry.
12:02I overslept.
12:02Must be the pills a doctor gave me.
12:04Ah, it does.
12:05You're good to have a lie in, especially when it's so deserved.
12:08You're looking much better than you did last night, Mrs Dodds.
12:10Do you want some brekkie or something?
12:12Oh, no, thank you, Daphne.
12:13Just a coffee, thanks.
12:14That'd be nice.
12:17How's the, uh, much pain?
12:19No, not really.
12:21Oh, the flowers are very nice.
12:22Where are they from?
12:24The women bought them for you this morning.
12:26Would you say the ice had finally broken?
12:30I'd say so.
12:31Well, I'm glad.
12:33It'll make working here so much easier.
12:36Alice, I think it's time I moved on.
12:40No, no, let me explain.
12:42When I originally came here, it was to help my friend Judy.
12:46When she went back inside, I promised I'd stay on to see the place was run as she wanted it to be.
12:51But now I see nothing at all wrong with the way you're running the place.
12:55So I'm not really needed anymore.
12:59Well, I know we'd get on much better now.
13:02I know we would.
13:02But I think it's time.
13:06All right.
13:08And thanks, Wally.
13:12Mrs. Powell's given me Mrs. Barry's report.
13:15I've got no reason to doubt her.
13:16Now, once again, where did the alcohol come from?
13:18It was just there.
13:19I can't remember who passed it to me.
13:22You mean you won't remember?
13:23Won't dub anyone in.
13:24Stevens, what about you?
13:25Same story?
13:27I made the alcohol, I sold it, and I take full responsibility.
13:31Now, can we get on with it?
13:32I thought as much, Governor.
13:34She had quite a stash of it.
13:36There's no report to indicate a cell search.
13:39How was it discovered?
13:40Well, Stevens confessed in her drunken state that she had more hidden in the library.
13:45I found it and confiscated it.
13:47Well, there simply wasn't the staff available for a full cell search.
13:51Did you check Birdsworth's cell?
13:52This is my racket, not hers, and I have no need for partners.
13:55All right, Stevens.
13:56I want the details of your operation.
13:59Forget it.
14:00You've confiscated the lot and I've confessed.
14:02That's all you're getting out of me.
14:03Both of you will be on cleaning duties for two days.
14:06Stevens will lose biops for a week as well.
14:08Take them out, please, Miss Fergus.
14:09Certainly, Governor.
14:23Well, even if the others did have some, they would have hidden it overnight.
14:27Yes, a cell search would be nothing but a waste of time, no?
14:30However, there is another angle I could try.
14:42Lizzie, you're standing in my light.
14:45Wait, I'll get this bloody thing off me arm and then I'll show all you fuckers what work's all about.
14:51Oh, Lizzie, could you please help me with this? Because me is going off with a skid.
14:55Very funny.
14:57Don't try and treat me like an idiot.
14:59Frida's already out doing a run and don't try and organise my life for me.
15:05Besides me, I'm hurt.
15:06She doesn't mean it, Pixie.
15:08Do you, Lizzie?
15:09Ladies, Stevens has confessed to making the wine and swears there's no more in the prison.
15:18But my feelings tell me differently, so I've got a proposal to put to.
15:22Oh, yeah? What's that, Mrs Reynolds?
15:24An amnesty.
15:25Oh, what's an amnesty?
15:27What are the terms, Mrs Reynolds?
15:29Mrs Powell?
15:31A bin will be placed outside the recreation room for the next 24 hours.
15:34Any remaining wine can be left in there.
15:37And who will be spying on us when we do?
15:39There will be no guards posted in the area and there will be no punishments.
15:44But there is a catch.
15:45We're going to search the entire prison after the 24 hours.
15:48As anyone found with wine then, it will be severely dealt with.
15:52That sounds fair enough.
15:53You can trust us, Mrs Reynolds.
15:55I know I can.
15:56That's why I'm doing it.
16:00Do you reckon she means it?
16:04Why not?
16:06She's got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
16:10So how are your other patients, giving you heaps?
16:13Yeah, especially Phyllis.
16:14Well, it wouldn't be like Phyllis if she wasn't whinging, eh?
16:16No, all convalescence get a bit twitchy.
16:18Oh, is she getting better?
16:20Yeah, she'll be up this afternoon.
16:22Frances will be in a little while longer, though.
16:24Must have been one hell of a fight.
16:26Hmm.
16:26Well, Mary seemed to get the worst of it.
16:29She's still at the Wentworth Hospital.
16:30Yeah.
16:31I suppose she's enjoying the change.
16:34Speaking of the change, if that's what I've got, I'm not enjoying it.
16:38Oh, I don't think your female obligations are over yet, Judy.
16:41Obligations?
16:41Oh, Scott.
16:44Now, for a number of reasons, your blood pressure's up.
16:48This, in turn, is putting a strain on the pacemaker.
16:51Now, if you don't start making a conscious effort to wind down, you'll be in deep trouble, Judy.
16:55Yeah, well, I'm already in deep trouble.
16:56I had you forgotten.
16:57No, I'm being serious.
16:59You need more rest.
17:01You're obviously not sleeping at night.
17:03I can't.
17:05I keep thinking about Hazel's death.
17:07Every time I try to close my eyes, I can see her face.
17:09Well, that's pretty natural, but it'll go away in time.
17:12Now, I'll give you something to help make you sleep.
17:16Look, the only thing that's going to help me is for the jury to understand why I did it.
17:21Yeah, I know that.
17:24Judy, I'll be appearing as a witness for the prosecution.
17:27What?
17:31Oh, how could you do that?
17:32I mean, I thought you were going to be a character witness for me.
17:35Yeah, I know that, but I'm afraid I don't have much choice.
17:37You see, I prescribed Hazel's drugs and left them in your care to administer, didn't I?
17:41I'm sorry, Judy, I really am.
17:47Yeah, well, tell that to the judge.
17:52An amnesty.
17:54That's like throwing meat to piranhas and hoping that they're vegetarians.
17:59Yeah, well, I have reservations as well, but I don't think it's as devastating as you make out.
18:04Oh, come on.
18:05Next thing they'll be sitting on the parole board.
18:09Mrs. O'Shea is organizing events.
18:10Uh, Governor, about this amnesty.
18:14It's worth a try, Miss Ferguson.
18:16If we can get the women to trust us, we may be able to concentrate on the jobs we're meant to be doing.
18:22Well, what about discipline?
18:24Are those women are just going to treat this as a game?
18:26I disagree.
18:27Given time, they may stop viewing us as enemies if we stop viewing them as children.
18:31Yeah, well, with respect, Mrs. Reynolds, I think it's futile to trust them this far.
18:36Hear, hear.
18:37Well, it's my decision to prove you wrong.
18:40You're off your head if you believe her.
18:46Bet you as soon as you dump that grog in the bin, there'll be a screw grabbing you by the neck and dragging you off.
18:50Oh, don't you bother?
18:52You want people to give you a fair go?
18:54It's not a fancy or cheapie.
18:55Well, you're okay.
18:56Reno knows you.
18:57We get sweet F.A. from you.
18:59I knew Mrs. Reynolds a long time ago.
19:01She was okay then and she's okay now.
19:03You reckon she's going a bit soft in the head?
19:05I mean, old Avo had never gone through all that amnesty stuff.
19:09I reckon Mrs. Reynolds's oral.
19:11Oh, yes, I think I can trust her, too.
19:12You can't trust any screw, especially the top one.
19:16Don't be such a stupid bitch, Bobby.
19:17You don't know what you're talking about.
19:19Mrs. Reynolds is a fair person.
19:20She'll treat you as you deserve to be treated.
19:23Do you hear what I'll do?
19:25To make it easier on everyone,
19:27I'll organise some real booze once we dump this plonk out.
19:31Oh, be a slap in the face with a freakin' Sonia.
19:34Oh, what sort of boozy a thing you're bringing in, then?
19:36Oh, maybe a drop of scotch?
19:38Real scotch?
19:40Good, I'd give anything for some real scotch
19:42if you keep all that other rotten muck.
19:45You and your big mouth.
19:46I know.
19:47Always was my problem.
19:49I won't back down, though.
19:53Mrs. Powell, is this about my appeal?
19:55Well, that isn't for me to say.
19:58Would you like to explain, Scotch?
19:59No, I don't think I really understand myself.
20:01Dr. Collins and his wife, Mrs. Reynolds.
20:08Mrs. Reynolds, why are we being seen together?
20:10I felt it was appropriate under the circumstances.
20:13Then it's about my appeal.
20:15Yes, it's being upheld.
20:18A mistrial's been declared.
20:20You're free to go, Petra.
20:311-1-7-4-2-8-6.
20:35Is that it?
20:36What a wonderful memory.
20:38I'll try not to disturb you, Mrs. Morris.
20:40It's quite all right.
20:43Here you go.
20:44Oh, thank you, dear.
20:45Hello?
20:47Oh, it's Scotch.
20:47Oh, hello, dear.
20:49It's Auntie Min.
20:50How are you?
20:52It is a fiddle.
20:54Now, listen, I can't talk for long, but I do need to see you.
20:58Yes, this afternoon.
21:00And bring Billy's bag, will you?
21:04Yes.
21:05Nine of my little pick-me-ups.
21:07He'll know what I want.
21:08Sorry.
21:09All right, love, thanks.
21:10Look forward to seeing you.
21:11Bye-bye.
21:12Bye-bye.
21:15Petra, get on all right, Mrs. Powell?
21:18Well, I think I'll let her tell you that, Donovan.
21:21Thanks for the phone call.
21:23Just a few little details I need to see my solicitor about.
21:27Right.
21:27Come on.
21:31Good, Sonia.
21:32I reckon it's awful.
21:34You're having to slave away all day in here
21:37and then go and scrub floors for another two hours.
21:42Still, I suppose it's good for your figure.
21:45What do you reckon, Cass?
21:47Oh, Min reckons there's nothing like hard work
21:49for getting a lot of bad wine out of your system.
21:52Where's Peg's?
21:54Oh, she's doing the pick-up.
21:56Hey, are you sure you're okay to work for us?
21:59Yeah.
22:02Lizzie, it really happened.
22:05No trial, no more questions.
22:07I've been released.
22:08Oh, love, I'm so pleased.
22:12That real great Petra, hey, what happened?
22:14My appeal was upheld and the charges were dismissed.
22:16They call it a mistrial.
22:17Oh, jeez, I bet the doc's pleased.
22:19Of course she is.
22:21Oh, I miss you.
22:22You will try and keep in touch, won't you?
22:24Of course I am.
22:25Oh, what a pity Pixie isn't here.
22:27She could have had a good cry by now,
22:29when she heard that news.
22:30She already has.
22:31I met her in the corridor.
22:33Pixie just told me I'm so pleased for you, dear.
22:35Thanks, Mary.
22:37I'm going to try and get where to Bea.
22:39I know she'll be glad things have worked out this way.
22:41Oh, well, if you do,
22:43tell her all her old mates are thinking about it, won't you?
22:45Especially me, of course.
22:48You know, if Bea hadn't made me see sense,
22:50this may never have happened.
22:51So I've got her to thank Mia.
22:52And all I have to do is try to forget the bad parts.
22:56Oh, you'll never be able to do that, love.
22:59None of us can.
23:00But you've got a good bloke and a chance to make a good life,
23:04so you just grab on to that.
23:06I will.
23:08And thanks for everything.
23:11Bye.
23:12Good luck, pet.
23:12Bye, Bea.
23:13Well, now that the hearts and flower bit is over and done with,
23:19it's back to business.
23:20The numbers game is back on.
23:23Phyllis?
23:24Start collecting.
23:27Something happened to your hearing during the accident.
23:29I said start collecting.
23:31How about it?
23:37That's nice, love.
23:44Lizzie?
23:46I'm a bit short at the money.
23:50Maybe we'd better tell them about the new rules.
23:53We've got a new set of prizes.
23:55Six dollars for first, four dollars for second,
23:57and two dollars for third.
23:59So how does that grab you?
23:59You're better than your last set-up.
24:02What happened?
24:04Your conscience get to you or something?
24:06I can do better than that, ladies.
24:09Double the cash prizes and a nice little bonus.
24:12A miniature of scotch for each of the lucky three withers.
24:16Oh, God, I reckon I'll be in on that.
24:18I think I can scrape up enough.
24:20It's just one cost.
24:22Yeah, all that stuff, too.
24:23Me and lucky number six, don't forget you.
24:25I'm mad.
24:26I'm sure you both know how happy we are things have turned out this way.
24:32Thanks, Mrs. Reynolds.
24:34I just can't wait to be on the other side of those gates.
24:36But I'd just like to say thank you for all the support you've given us,
24:40and especially for our wedding.
24:42Good luck.
24:43Yes, to the two of you.
24:44We won't expect you in tomorrow, Scott.
24:47Ness is an emergency.
24:48Thanks.
24:49Come on, darling.
24:50Bye.
24:50Bye.
24:51Bye.
24:53Well, at least something cheerful's happened today.
24:55I had to tell Arthur Charlton.
24:57Lizzie wants no further contact with the family.
25:00She was so pleased about seeing.
25:01Apparently the day was a disaster.
25:03But they couldn't expect to hit it off the first time.
25:05I know, but Lizzie's adamant.
25:06Mr. Charlton thinks it was mainly their fault.
25:09But unfortunately, she's not going to give them a chance to try again.
25:11Well, well, well, if it isn't the seven dwarves back from the mines for the day.
25:22Shut up, Bobby.
25:23Oh, and here comes Snow White.
25:25Talking to me, Mitchell?
25:27No, Miss Ferguson.
25:29Donovan, you've got a visitor.
25:31Oh, lovely.
25:33See you later, Cass.
25:34Right, Omin.
25:37And, Stephens, don't forget those extra duties.
25:41Yeah, not my idea of a joke, either.
25:52Scrubbing them bloody corridors.
25:55Hey, listen, thanks for getting me off the hook about the booze.
25:57We had a deal.
25:58I hope you haven't forgotten.
25:59Of course not.
26:00Just beats me why you want to do it.
26:02I thought you were in the freak with mates.
26:03Partners, strictly business.
26:06Yeah, so why do you want to tape her?
26:07Because partners means equal risk, equal split all the way down the mine.
26:11And Ferguson gets a little confused about that, so I need something to remind her.
26:14Call it an insurance.
26:16Yeah, well, I'm not too excited about being the meat in the sandwich.
26:19Why would she suspect you?
26:20Nearly all the women in here have tape recorders.
26:22Yeah, but why me?
26:23Because you're the one that's always walking around with your earphones on.
26:26You're the perfect setup.
26:27Besides, you owe me a favor, remember?
26:30Come on, Bobby, you've got your head screwed on the right way, and I like that.
26:32You and I make a good team.
26:36You've got a partner?
26:38We'll use her while it suits us, but we have to have the tape.
26:44You'd enjoy seeing someone get at her, wouldn't you?
26:46Would I?
26:48A deal?
26:49You bet.
26:59Oh, I don't know whether I could...
27:01Just give it to Billy and stop worrying.
27:05What if they search me?
27:06Would I risk any of my kids' careers?
27:08And you know they don't search solicitors.
27:12Yeah, I don't like it, Aunty.
27:14Oh, Terry, you wouldn't have grudged me one little favor, would you?
27:18No, of course not.
27:20Let's do it, then you'll breathe easier.
27:24Good boy.
27:28Yeah?
27:28Turn your head while I get rid of them.
27:31Oh, where do you think I'm going to put them?
27:38Turn your head.
27:42And just make sure
27:44you tell Billy what I said.
27:49It's very important.
27:51I wonder what Petra and Scott are doing now.
27:59Can't you guess?
28:01She said she'll keep in touch, but I bet she doesn't.
28:04Oh, dear.
28:04Why not?
28:05The only thing she had in common with us was that we're all stuck in here.
28:09Come on, she's not like that.
28:11I didn't say anything against her.
28:14I reckon she's one of the best.
28:16But once you're out there, well, it's them and us, and you can't get away from it.
28:21Well, that's pretty strange coming from you.
28:24Why?
28:25Well, you've just discovered your own family.
28:27The only family I got's in you.
28:29Donovan's bringing in hard booze, and we'd better match it or else we'd be out of business.
28:59No way.
29:01You've got no choice.
29:03You've got no choice.
29:05Now, you're so smart, I'm sure you'll think of something, Stavings.
29:19Colleen tells me the bin's almost full.
29:21The fact that it was pretty vile stuff may have helped a bit.
29:24True.
29:25I noticed we've been connected to the prison broadcasting service.
29:29Yes, well, it's always seemed wrong to me that it was restricted to Barnhurst and Woodridge.
29:35Mind you, I can just imagine the sort of stuff we'll get.
29:37You'd better get ready for some pretty heavy censoring.
29:39Well, we may discover a budding Shakespeare.
29:41Oh, we may.
29:42Uh, it's official.
29:44Our new office is going to start this week.
29:46Oh, good.
29:48David Bridges from Woodridge.
29:50Hmm.
29:50Might have hit the jackpot there.
29:52And this is for Lizzie.
29:53Mr Charlton dropped it in.
29:54Oh.
29:55Might make a change of mind about visiting again?
29:58Hope so.
29:59See you tomorrow.
30:00Have a good night.
30:01Bye.
30:01You missed one.
30:08Thank you, Lizzie.
30:12Patience.
30:13It's something I'm running short of.
30:16Isn't it time you made the draw or can't you keep your promise?
30:19I don't recall you buying any ticket.
30:22So it really isn't your problem, is it?
30:24Well, I did.
30:25And I could do with a drop of that scotch right now.
30:29Well, it's probably all talk, Lizzie.
30:32And the women aren't going to like that.
30:33It is not.
30:34You did get it, didn't you, men?
30:36We'll be making the draw tomorrow when all the numbers are sold.
30:41Why don't you buy one?
30:42Help speed things up.
30:44I hope for your sake you can put your money where your mouth is.
30:47Even when you do make the draw.
30:50Where's Phyllis?
30:52Oh, she said she wasn't feeling well.
30:54I think she's gone to lie down.
30:56Ladies, Mrs Reynolds has asked me to pass on some good news.
31:01Wentworth is officially joining the prison broadcasting service.
31:05Oh, beauty!
31:06We'll be able to send a message to me.
31:08Well, you will be able to send messages and request your favourite records.
31:12And if there are any budding writers amongst you,
31:15you can get together and do some sketches and that sort of thing.
31:17That opens up all sorts of possibilities.
31:20Yeah, sure, bulk fun.
31:22Oh, it'll be just bonza.
31:24There's a letter from your son, is it?
31:25Yeah.
31:26There's a letter from your son, is it?
31:26Yeah.
31:31Why aren't you going to open it?
31:32It looks as though it was personally delivered.
31:36I reckon I should forget all about this.
31:38You all right?
31:47Perhaps you should get the doctor to check you over again.
31:50I'm okay.
31:52Look, I'm sorry about the numbers, but I didn't have a hope of selling them.
31:55I know, we were outmanoeuvred.
31:57We'll just have to wait and see if she delivers.
31:58What if she does?
32:00Don't worry.
32:01I'm not.
32:01You said you had a cassette recorder.
32:07Can I borrow it?
32:08Yeah, but it's a real old cheaper.
32:10It's got a radio in it, but the sound's pretty crook.
32:13I hardly ever use it, but it works.
32:15Oh, yeah.
32:16It's pretty junky, but I'll sit here.
32:19What do you want it for?
32:21This.
32:22I promised to copy a couple of tapes.
32:24Oh, you can try, but no guarantees.
32:27Well, perhaps you never use it.
32:28Perhaps you'd like to sell it to me.
32:30Say, er, 25 bucks.
32:32Oh, 25 bucks.
32:34I'll check in me old tapes as well.
32:35So do you.
32:36Oh.
32:36Oh.
32:36Oh.
32:56Oh.
32:56Oh.
32:57Oh.
32:57Oh.
32:58Oh.
32:58Oh.
32:58Oh.
32:59Oh.
32:59Oh.
32:59Oh.
33:00Oh.
33:00Oh.
33:00Oh.
33:01Oh.
33:01Oh.

33:03Oh.
33:03Oh.
33:03Oh.
33:04Oh.
33:04Oh.
33:04Oh.
33:05Oh.
33:05Oh.
33:06Oh.
33:06Oh.
33:06Oh.
33:07Oh.
33:08Oh.
33:08Oh.
33:09Oh.
33:09Oh.
33:10Oh.
33:10Oh.
33:10Oh.
33:11Oh.
33:12Oh.
33:12Oh.
33:13Oh.
33:14Oh.
33:14Oh.
33:15Oh.
33:16Oh.
33:17Oh.
33:18Oh.
33:19Oh.
33:20Oh.
33:21Oh.
33:22Oh.
33:22Oh.
33:23lovely way to start the bloody day
33:29how many more of these corridors
33:31we've got to do anyway
33:32just this one
33:32you know she'd better show soon
33:34I'm going round the twist with your music
33:36just make sure she thinks it is your music
33:39now the minute I get her talking
33:42make sure you press that record button
33:44alright, I think I am dumb or something
33:46shh, she's coming
33:47Miss Ferguson, let's brush some sort of headers
33:52could you organise me with another one?
33:54it'll last the day
33:55I think Donovan's bringing the bruce in today
33:57don't worry about her, she can't hear a thing when she's plugged in
34:00did you find out who Donovan's visitor was yesterday?
34:03hey, just a solicitor
34:04she'd probably ask him to sit her up
34:06you know, if she goes through with it
34:08it'll be the finish of our business
34:09you don't seem to have very much confidence in me, Stephens
34:13if I can get rid of Smith
34:15I really don't see how Donovan can be a challenge
34:17it's not a matter of confidence, Miss Ferguson
34:19you're getting a major cut
34:21in this partnership
34:22I figure it's time we wound it
34:23if you didn't have my protection, Stephens
34:27you'd be out of business in five minutes
34:30and you know it
34:31these are clear to go
34:39can I help you?
34:43yes, I wonder if I could see Mrs Donovan
34:45I rang earlier?
34:46you must be Mr Dorsey
34:47look, if you just sign in over here
34:49I'll organise it for you
34:50um, look, I'll see Mr Dorsey through
34:52if you like
34:53you'll find Donovan in the laundry
34:55thank you, Miss Ferguson
34:56you're most hopeful
34:57a friend of the family, are you?
35:03I've known them for a long time
35:04well, let's not keep Mrs Donovan waiting
35:07I'm sure she's very anxious to keep in touch
35:09how's Dorsey, dear, keeping busy?
35:12oh, you know Dorsey
35:13a finger in every pie
35:15couldn't stop talking about the new supermarket that's opened up
35:18came home with enough goodies to keep the family going for weeks
35:21oh, she always was a good little manager
35:25and always did love the big shops
35:27you needn't worry about the family
35:28they're all doing fine
35:30they miss you, of course, aren't you?
35:31but Dorsey's totally organised
35:33everything's running like clockwork
35:35well, you tell them I'm fine
35:37and I'm very proud the way they're keeping things going
35:40and I certainly miss them
35:42it's lovely seeing you, dear
35:44I, um, had a word to your solicitor
35:47he, um, told me how things stand
35:50oh, all these things take time
35:53he's doing what he can, dear
35:55we just have to be patient
35:57yeah
35:57time's up, Donovan
35:58well, you don't get very long
36:00no, dear
36:01but they're very nice to us on the whole
36:03well, bye-bye, dear
36:05come again
36:05no physical contact
36:07Officer Radcliffe, I'll see you out
36:10I see what you mean
36:12very helpful, too
36:14okay, Donovan, hand it over
36:19pardon?
36:20let's just call it a routine search, shall we?
36:28well
36:28I don't think the Governor's going to be too pleased with her old friend, is she?
36:35and I shouldn't imagine the other women would be too happy with you either
36:38I'm very disappointed in you, Donovan
36:45you know the rules concerning alcohol
36:48yes, it was a silly thing to do
36:50but Billy's like a son to me
36:53and he knows I like a drop of scotch in me milk to help me sleep
36:57and I didn't want to hurt his feelings
36:59well, he may be a lot more distressed if he knows it as a result
37:02you're losing privileges for a week
37:04maybe you'd better warn him
37:06the consequences could be a lot worse if it happens again
37:09oh, it won't, Mrs Reynolds
37:11I'd give you my word
37:13good
37:14um, would it be possible to have a private word with you, Mrs Reynolds?
37:20Donovan, you've just lost privileges
37:22this isn't the time to ask for favours
37:24it's all right, Miss Ferguson, wait outside, please
37:26certainly, Governor
37:27now, I've only got a few moments
37:29what is it?
37:32I'm worried about the women in here
37:35oh, I know you do your best
37:37so do most of the officers
37:38but what happens to them when they leave Wentworth?
37:42we liaise with welfare
37:43their probation officers do the best they can
37:46yes, I know about that
37:47but the trouble is
37:49they don't learn anything here
37:51so when they get out
37:52it's back to crime
37:53and bingo, back into Wentworth
37:55I know, Minnie
37:56I'd give my eye teeth
37:58to solve the problem
37:59but, well, it's not as easy as all that
38:01the last governor
38:02organised all sorts of classes
38:05but none of them succeeded, I'm afraid
38:06but I'm talking about something practical
38:09like typing classes, for instance
38:11and you won't have any trouble getting typewriters
38:14I've got a contact that can get you any amount
38:18I'm sure he can
38:19but I think you should leave that to us
38:21does that mean we can do it?
38:23oh, now, hang on
38:24I'd have to see how the department feels
38:26well, while you're at it
38:27tell him that one of my girls will teach the classes gratis
38:32oh, until one of our women can take over
38:34I know how the minister hates parting with his money
38:38okay, Minnie
38:40leave it with us
38:41I think it'd be a nice gesture
38:43now that the women have responded so well to your faith in them
38:46and there's not a bottle of wine left in the building
38:51and I appreciate their cooperation
38:53I just hope we don't find any more scotch bottles
38:56you all right, Lizzie?
39:08of course I am
39:09can't anyone have a quiet think without everybody sticking their tuppence in?
39:14all right, all right, Lizzie
39:15I'm sorry, didn't mean to make you mad
39:17it seems Donovan isn't going to deliver
39:21she got sprung me in the school channel
39:23Ferguson?
39:24I think we're back in business part
39:26would you two stop hissing and whispering
39:29it's getting on my nerves
39:31anyway, you're not supposed to be back in here yet
39:34now, Lizzie, wash your blood pressure
39:35oh, good day, Min
39:38hey, what'd the governor want?
39:39not too much, love
39:40we just had a nice little chat
39:42oh, yeah
39:43yes, and you'll all be glad to hear
39:46there are going to be some changes
39:48there certainly will be
39:50unless you live up to the little bonuses that you've lost
39:52oh, I'm glad you reminded me, dear
39:55the numbers draw
39:57hooray!
39:58come on, Cass, you pick the lucky winners
40:01number seven
40:06hey, that's Pixie
40:08oh, gee, she gets lucky, doesn't she?
40:10oh, no
40:12here are, Lizzie
40:15you mind that for Pixie
40:16now, the next
40:17number 29
40:21oh, this will get you into A1 condition, Phyllis
40:28hey, Lizzie, it's yours
40:33you're one, Lizzie, number 18
40:34oh, Ripper!
40:38what a pity you didn't buy a ticket, Sonia
40:42you might have got lucky for once
40:44I think I should spike your tea with a pass
40:52or I reckon it was your lucky fingers that did it
40:55yeah, well, that's real nice, you're Lizzie
40:56but only a little bit
40:57I want a word with you
41:02well, you're not quite as clever as you thought you were, are you?
41:10let's keep your voice down
41:11now, what the hell are you on about, Stevens?
41:14Donovan's handed out the scotch
41:15rubbish, I confiscated it all
41:16just as she planned, probably already had the supply
41:19how the hell would she have got it in here?
41:21think again, Ferguson
41:22she's just handed it out
41:24well, losing your touch, boss lady
41:28well, you've just earned yourself a demotion
41:30from now on, you bring the supplies in from the outside
41:32and I'll make sure there aren't any more slip-ups
41:34don't you push me too fast, Stevens
41:36I don't think I need to push you at all
41:38in fact, I think you'd be quite happy to do as I say
41:41we're getting a major cut in this partnership
41:48I figure it's time to run
41:50if you didn't have my protection, Stevens
41:54you'd be out of business in five minutes
41:56just how far did you think you'd get with this, Stevens?
42:08I figure you're ruining it
42:09never mind, I've got some more copies
42:11so you do as I say
42:14or else one of the tapes goes to the governor
42:17and another one just like it to the department
42:20do we have a deal?
42:24Ferguson
42:24he used to give me roses
42:34I wish he could again
42:40but that was on the outside
42:45and things were different then
42:51on the inside
42:52the sun still shines
42:55and the rain falls down
43:00but the sun and rain are prisoners too
43:05when morning comes around
43:10last night I dreamed we worked together
43:15sharing all the love for the moon
43:21till I had to face the nightmare
43:25like men
43:26awaking up alone
43:31on the inside
43:32the roses grow
43:35they don't mind the stony ground
43:40but the roses here are prisoners too
43:45when morning comes around
43:52when morning comes around
43:53when morning comes around
