00:00Where is Lizzy?
00:02Lying down.
00:03Hey, she said she didn't want no tea.
00:05No.
00:06She's fretting over B.
00:08I know how she feels. It's not the same without her.
00:11All the more reason to keep everyone busy.
00:14Mind you, if Mr Bridges treats us well,
00:17we must all play the game.
00:19If he bends the rules for us,
00:21then we gotta see that he doesn't get into trouble over it.
00:23Well, I reckon he's a poof-dub.
00:24What?
00:25Never mind, dear.
00:26Well, he doesn't strike me that way.
00:28I don't know what a poof-dub is.
00:29What?
00:30Get your tea, Cass.
00:31Well, whatever he is, he's better looking than the freak.
00:33Hey, what?
00:34You are in the air two of a kind.
00:36But you've still got connections with the fellows, can't you?
00:38Well, you never know when you need a friend.
00:41You know, I don't think we'd have any trouble selling dope in here
00:44now that B Smith's gone.
00:45Do you think we'd get a slice of the action from Barnhart?
00:47They'll deliver if we can come up with the cash.
00:50Of course, we'll have to work out something between us.
00:53Of course.
00:55It'd help to have a screw on side, too.
00:58I wonder if Bridges is approachable.
01:01Forget him.
01:02We've already got Ferguson.
01:03I wouldn't trust her as far as I could spit.
01:05Don't worry.
01:06I have to coin a phrase, got her taped.
01:09She'll do as she's told.
01:16Out, Mitchell.
01:17What'd I do now?
01:18I said get out.
01:22Find the tape, Donovan.
01:23I've got to think.
01:24I've had to move it so often.
01:25Oh, no.
01:26I put it in that cupboard before the search.
01:28Oh!
01:29Now you find it.
01:30Or you get more of the sound.
01:32Don't do it.
01:33It's not worth the trouble you'll get into.
01:36Back off, Parker.
01:37You hit me.
01:38I'm going to fix you.
01:39I said back off or she gets more of the sound.
01:40Don't you hurt her?
01:41It's up to you, Parker.
01:42Now let me get to that door.
01:43Chow up.
01:44I guess.
01:45Do what she says.
01:46I'm not through with you yet, Donovan.
01:48Now, whenever you've got that tape.
01:50Hit.
01:51No.
01:52No.
01:53No.
01:54No.
01:55No.
01:56No.
01:57No.
01:58No.
01:59No.
02:00No.
02:01No.
02:02No.
02:03No.
02:04No.
02:05No.
02:06No.
02:07No.
02:08No.
02:09No.
02:10No.
02:11No.
02:12No.
02:13No.
02:14She would have killed you, Min.
02:15She would have.
02:16Don't you worry dear.
02:18The likes of hers could have become better with me.
02:36I just want to run a hopper and hold in the bed.
02:39I feel as if I've been dealing with you.
02:41Well, do what you like now.
02:44You're a free woman.
02:46I'm afraid so.
02:48Oh, you'll love it.
02:49Don't let Paul talk you out of it.
02:51How could he?
02:52Oh, he's trying to get us to move in together, you know.
02:55Maybe you should have a chat to him.
02:57Why?
02:58Well, he keeps dropping hints about us getting married.
03:01Strange how kids think, isn't it?
03:03Wally, marriage is hardly strange.
03:06No, no, I don't mean that.
03:07I just mean that Paul seems to feel it's rather important.
03:10I'm beginning to think it's probably more important than he's let on.
03:13Do you think he probably worries about us sleeping together?
03:17No, I don't.
03:19He's terribly fond of you.
03:21If Paul talks about marriage, it's because he's the marrying kind himself.
03:25He'd love to be married.
03:27He'd love to have a family.
03:28He'd turn me into a grandmother within a year if the right girl came along.
03:32Ah, a long time ago, I thought the right girl had come along.
03:35Well, four or five times, as a matter of fact.
03:37But I married one of them.
03:40Yeah, it was wrong.
03:41I'd never even consider marriage again.
03:44Not everyone has a miserable marriage.
03:47Yeah, maybe not.
03:47But what could be better than our set-up?
03:50We've got each other.
03:52We've got our freedom.
03:55I think getting us to move in together would be the thin edge of the wedge.
03:59Wally?
04:02Yep?
04:04You're getting dirt on the cushion.
04:07Oops.
04:08Sorry.
04:09It's an example of what might happen if I did move anything.
04:13Well, I'll run you a nice hot bath, then it's straight to bed.
04:19For both of us.
04:20Look what I've got.
04:31Where'd you get them?
04:32From your pocket, and you didn't feel a thing.
04:34You'll feel a thing if you pinch anything from me and keep it for good.
04:39As if I would.
04:39Selling's a sin.
04:41Sin or no sin.
04:43I'm pretty good at it myself.
04:44That's why I can see it in you.
04:46Yeah.
04:46Min says you picked it up real quick.
04:48Well, it's lovely to be good at things, but what do you do when the things you're good
04:53at happen to be illegal?
04:54Oh, I wouldn't let that worry you, love.
04:57It's a God-given talent, and you'd be a mug if you didn't use it.
05:01Oh, I'd never take from the needy.
05:03Well, Minnie says we ought to concentrate on large department stores.
05:06I don't suppose they'd notice a few bits and pieces missing.
05:09They've got so much.
05:12Where'd you get that?
05:14Oh, it's Min's.
05:15Did you lift her from her?
05:17Aren't you clever, Kat?
05:18No, no, of course not.
05:19I'm looking after it for her.
05:20Oh, what's on it?
05:21Can I have a look at that?
05:22No, no, no.
05:22Sorry, Lizzie.
05:23No, no one's allowed to touch this, except me and me.
05:30Oh, go on.
05:44I'm just going to practice.
05:45Oh, okay.
05:52No, no, you don't.
05:53Just practicing, Lizzie.
05:55If I were you, I'd mug them before I tried ripping them off.
05:59She's right, Kat, you have to find something else for you to do.
06:03Yeah, yeah, you know, I just can't get the hang of it.
06:06Nothing to it, dear.
06:08Oh, sorry, now.
06:09This is yours.
06:11Oh, Min.
06:12Oh, come on.
06:13Keep this noise down and hurry up.
06:15Just high spirits, Mrs. Powell.
06:19You got that tape safely hidden, Kat?
06:21Oh, yeah, sure thing, Min.
06:23Got it right here.
06:24Don't you worry about nothing.
06:25You can't take it under there.
06:28You told me I wasn't allowed to.
06:29Just give it to me while you're showering.
06:31Oh.
06:35Maybe I should take up the pickpocketing course after all,
06:37if that's what I think it is.
06:39Don't be greedy, dear.
06:41You've got your own copy.
06:43And Ferguson won't give up till she gets it back.
06:46I wouldn't give her half the chance.
06:47And I'd give you even less of one if you and I became a team.
06:50What can you be?
06:51Thinking of...
06:52Putting Ferguson out of business.
06:53Together we'd have the women sewn up.
06:55The women would follow you while we had the tape.
06:57Ferguson wouldn't make a move.
07:00You know, for a smart girl, you're not getting the picture at all.
07:04You're the one that's going out of business, Sonia.
07:07That's why I became top dog.
07:09To see that very thing.
07:17More coffee?
07:21Toast.
07:27How about a jog around the block?
07:32Look, could you stop giving me the silent treatment long enough to tell me why you're giving me the silent treatment?
07:38I'm just not talkative in the mornings.
07:39Rubbish.
07:40You're normally chatting your head off.
07:41Well, I'm not this morning.
07:42Yeah, I can see that.
07:46Look, if it was last night, then I'm sorry.
07:48It isn't because of last night.
07:49It must have something to do with it.
07:51You were so cold.
07:52I mean, what went wrong?
07:54I can't imagine.
07:57Look, Anne.
07:58If this is some sort of reaction to Paul's leaving, I cannot say...
08:01It's got nothing to do with Paul.
08:02Well, it must have something to do with it.
08:04I don't know you this morning.
08:05And last night you were like a stranger.
08:07Now, what's going on here?
08:08Do you remember talking about freedom last night?
08:17Yeah.
08:19Well, I'm exercising it now, and I'd prefer you didn't pry.
08:24Oh, I can see I have stepped over the line.
08:29I'm very sorry I won't do it again.
08:32I'm Stuart Driscoll now.
08:34This afternoon I'll be helping Paul set up his studio,
08:36just in case you want to reach me.
08:58Yes?
08:59Look, I've done your taping for you, right?
09:02Now you've got to come good.
09:03All I've had is trouble from the freaking Minnie the Mouse
09:06telling me what to do.
09:07And all I've had from you is lies.
09:09Trying to play Ferguson and me off one another
09:11would be a very dangerous game.
09:14You're trying to blackmail me when you kept that tape, weren't you?
09:17Well, I wasn't going to try it on you.
09:19You'd be stupid to try it on anyone.
09:20Isn't it about time out something from your bloody troubles?
09:23I'll take more work for you first.
09:24Forget it.
09:26Pretty.
09:27I was going to pay you in grass.
09:29Is it good stuff?
09:34The best.
09:36How are you going to get it in here?
09:38You let me worry about that.
09:40What, do you want to work or don't you?
09:42Yeah, I'll do it.
09:45Good.
09:47Don't try and cross me.
09:48Oh, good morning, governor.
09:58Any messages?
10:00Arthur Charlton rang.
10:01He wants to take Lizzie out for the day.
10:03That's in order.
10:04Has she been told?
10:05Yes.
10:06She wasn't too enthusiastic.
10:08Is there anything else?
10:10No, nothing that requires your attention.
10:12Bryant's solicitor will be in this afternoon.
10:15I don't want to be disturbed,
10:16and this is absolutely necessary.
10:17Of course.
10:20Oh, I suppose anyone can have an off day.
10:28I'm going to do a pick-up.
10:29Lizzie, no.
10:30You should be changed by now and ready for your outie.
10:33Look, I'll do the pick-up, Lizzie.
10:34Oh, not on your life.
10:35I don't want to go out.
10:37Yes, but they're your family.
10:38Oh, you wouldn't have thought so last time.
10:41They're a bit too posh for me.
10:43Oh, it might be different this time.
10:45I don't think so.
10:46I don't think they want to know me.
10:48That can't be true.
10:49They want to see you again, don't they?
10:51I don't want to talk about it, men.
10:53Oh, you probably need something to get them off your mind.
10:55They're not on my mind.
10:57They're on everybody else's mind.
10:59Everyone's too bloody busy minding my business.
11:01Well, there's nothing else to do around here.
11:03That's your job, men.
11:07When are we going to start the numbers game again, love?
11:09What I feel like you can't draw out of a hat.
11:11Oh, what's that, Brenda?
11:13One of your ex-husbands, or maybe one of them.
11:16There'll be another draw next week.
11:18Next week?
11:18Oh, gee, men, that's a long way off.
11:23Men liven up the joint a bit.
11:25Get my mind off things.
11:27Will it take my mind off me?
11:29I'll be careful, Minnie.
11:30I might win the ladies, baby, unless you need their denies.
11:32Well, I wouldn't like your chances.
11:34Thank you, Lizzie.
11:36No more numbers till next week.
11:38Oh, gambling's not going to solve the problem.
11:40What problem?
11:42Boredom.
11:43But I'm going to see to it that you don't get bored.
11:46Not sure about your needs, Brenda, but I'll never say die.
11:54What is this?
11:56Get back to work.
11:58Oh, come on, Burt'sworth.
11:59Why aren't you dressed?
12:00I don't want to go, Mrs. Powell.
12:03Since when have you been passing up day releases?
12:05Since now.
12:06OK, well, that's entirely up to you.
12:09But next time, you will let us know in advance
12:11because your family's already on their way.
12:13Oh, Lizzie, you can't have them turned away.
12:16It's very unkind, Lizzie.
12:17Well?
12:19Well, I suppose I'd better go.
12:21Young Kev will be there, and he's a nice enough kid.
12:24Oh, yeah, she'll be apples, Lizzie.
12:26Remember, blood is thicker than...
12:28Fold some sheets, dear.
12:31Give them another chance.
12:36Anything wrong?
12:46No, no, I was just fixing myself up a little.
12:50Waste of time, really.
12:51Of course not.
12:52You're beautiful.
12:53Why not?
12:54Just like me said, never say die.
12:56I'm sorry.
12:57Oh, don't be.
12:58Your place or mine?
13:01I can see what you're getting at, but I'm afraid it's impossible.
13:04It's not, you know.
13:04I do it all the time.
13:06Here, I mean.
13:07Well, you could fix something up, surely.
13:09What makes you the way you are?
13:11What's your background?
13:12My background?
13:13Yeah, I'm interested.
13:14You could have fooled me.
13:17All right, how far back would you like to go?
13:20When I was nude on a bare-skinned night?
13:21Well, how about we start with your education?
13:28Well, I'm an arts graduate.
13:30I harbour dreams of being a real artist once.
13:32What happened?
13:33Haven't got the temperament or the dedication, but I do have the talent, so I put it to my
13:40advantage.
13:41Forgeries.
13:43Counterfeiting.
13:44I'd love to forge artwork.
13:45It must be terrible for you to be in here.
13:48You're so full of life.
13:49Well, you could brighten things up knowing if you just let yourself go, huh?
13:54Yes, but I've got work to do.
13:56And so have you.
14:00I'm sorry.
14:06You're sorry.
14:12Take a look at them.
14:13I wish I hadn't let that look talk me into this.
14:17Well, it's too late now, so get moving and start smiling.
14:22Oh, there isn't anything much to smile about.
14:28Hello, Mum.
14:29Hello, Mum.
14:30We must have made you feel very uncomfortable.
14:32I'm sorry about that.
14:33Oh, no, I'm done.
14:35You know, I didn't sleep last night thinking you'd turn us away.
14:38Oh, as if I'd do a thing like that.
14:41Does that mean you'll give us another chance?
14:43Oh, of course, love.
14:45It'll be different this time.
14:47How about a movie?
14:48Yeah, what'll we see?
14:49Oh, how can I talk to you all in the movies?
14:52Well, it's your day.
14:53I mean, what do you want to do?
14:55Well, there's a meeting on at the valley this hour.
15:00The races?
15:02Oh, I'd love that.
15:03Have a good day.
15:04Thanks, Mrs. Pell.
15:06I'll get to your hair again if you want, Magdalene, like my new style.
15:10Thank you, love.
15:20Oh, that baby Bridges is so cute.
15:23Yeah.
15:23He's a good screw, too.
15:24And they told me you were slow.
15:26That's not what she meant.
15:28Who cares what she meant?
15:29I just hope she's bright.
15:31Are you saving your cap for him?
15:32Oh, that's a quaint way of putting it, but I am, yeah.
15:35Oh, well, I wouldn't if I were you.
15:36Well, why not?
15:37You're bothered with everyone else.
15:38Oh, well, it's not that he's all attractive.
15:40Well, he is, but...
15:42Well...
15:42Come on, we're all girls together.
15:46Well, Bobby says that he's...
15:48Well, he's...
15:49He's what?
15:51Well, you know, like Miss Ferguson.
15:54Big and ugly.
15:55No.
15:56I mean...
15:57I mean sexually.
15:58Oh, I've got it made.
16:01He's into women.
16:03No, I think Bobby meant that he prefers other gentlemen.
16:06Well, Bobby's got her lines crossed.
16:09If David Bridges is gay, then I'm frigid.
16:11And if I was frigid, I'd be sleeping a lot better than I am at the moment.
16:15Well, I hope you're not disappointed.
16:16Bridges is the kind of man that chooses his mark,
16:19buys his time, and then makes his move,
16:22and I just hope I'm in the firing line.
16:24And I'll see to it, Hewitt, if you don't get on with your work.
16:27And that goes for the lot of you.
16:30That's better.
16:35How can anybody that big sneak up on you so quietly?
16:38She can be kept under control.
16:40I'm getting a visitor this morning.
16:41We should get the dope on the dope.
16:43Good, you can do me a favour.
16:45Like?
16:46I want to smuggle something out, a cassette tape.
16:48Maybe you can slip it to your visitor.
16:49What's their special amount?
16:52It's our insurance.
16:54Okay.
16:55Hi.
16:55Where have they taken her?
17:00The races.
17:01Where else?
17:02She likes betting.
17:03Lizzie.
17:05Like you and I enjoy breathing.
17:07She's pretty tinny, too.
17:08I wouldn't be surprised if she made a killing.
17:10Oh, I think she's wonderful.
17:11I wouldn't mind taking her out on a day release myself one day.
17:13Well, if she turns you down, you can always take your pick from any of the others, from what I've heard.
17:19What have you heard?
17:21Oh, just that you're planning on turning this place into your own personal harem.
17:25Just a minute.
17:27Are you making a specific charge, or just doing a spot of rumour-mongering?
17:31Call it a warning.
17:33If it's true, he's had it.
17:35And if it's just a rumour, then he's got trouble.
17:37Well, it's not true, so how about we forget it?
17:39Oh, we can forget it.
17:41But the women won't.
17:42She's right.
17:43It can cause trouble.
17:44If one of those women decided to set you up, you are finished.
17:47Mm-hmm.
17:48And it's happened before.
17:49Well, what do we do?
17:51Well, we can get around it.
17:53I'll make a few adjustments to the rosters.
17:55What do you mean?
17:56No more solo patrols from now on.
17:58When you're on duty, you'll be accompanied by another officer.
18:01Oh, no, wait a minute.
18:02If we do that, the staff levels will be back where they were before I got here.
18:06Well, we'll manage to get by.
18:08Just.
18:09Look, um, may I make a suggestion?
18:11How about I talk to the women?
18:13They'll laugh in your face.
18:15Do you have any objections to me trying?
18:17No.
18:18Look, the only thing these women understand, Mr. Bridges, is authority.
18:24Have you ever tried any other method?
18:25Is it out for him?
18:31Yeah.
18:32Okay.
18:33Hewitt has a visitor.
18:35Oh, I'll tell her.
18:35Look, I'm going that way.
18:36Is it right with you?
18:37Good luck.
18:38Thanks.
18:39Thanks.
18:39No, no, no, dear.
18:57That's not it at all.
18:59Don't creep up on people.
19:00Well, you're not the bill for it.
19:02The whole movement must be more natural, more fluid.
19:06Like this?
19:07Oh, God.
19:08That's very good, Pixie.
19:10Of course, I am wearing a girdle and that does make it easier.
19:13Well, next time I might get that as well.
19:15It's okay.
19:18You can all relax.
19:19I'd like to talk to you for a minute.
19:21Oh, something wrong, Mr. Bridges?
19:23Well, not yet.
19:24But I've heard a rumor that some of the women think I'm trying to make a play for them.
19:28Well, now, where would they get an idea like that for?
19:30The rumor I heard was that some of the women were hoping you'd make a play for them.
19:35Yes, well, that's very flattering, but I'd like to rule out both versions.
19:38Oh, I was afraid of that.
19:40Look, I've got a job to do here.
19:43It's an important one.
19:44I want to help all of you, but I can't do that if I'm going to be subject to rumors and suspicions.
19:51So how about it?
19:52Will you give me a break?
19:54Oh, yes, yes, yes.
19:56I think that solves the problem.
19:58Thanks.
19:58Thanks very much.
19:59All right, now you can all get back to work.
20:01Cue it.
20:02You've got a visitor.
20:03I'll be right there.
20:05Be careful.
20:05He's out there.
20:09How about that, Mr. Bridges?
20:13Wonderful, gentle understanding.
20:15If only we could keep him and lose Miss Ferguson, light, it'd be a lot easier.
20:20Yeah, sure is a good screw.
20:23Press some sheets, Cass.
20:25Right, me.
20:29What do you want?
20:34But you might be lonely.
20:36Well, I'm not.
20:38So why don't you nick off?
20:39Pushing your luck, Mitchell.
20:40If you lay a finger on me, I'll let everyone know about it.
20:44The governor, the lot of them.
20:46You're not being very sensible.
20:48It's about time you learned a little respect for authority.
20:50What are you going to do?
20:54Me?
20:55Oh, I'm not going to do anything, Mitchell.
20:58But you, you're going to be the victim of a savage bashing.
21:03By person or persons unknown.
21:09Now, you remember that, Bobby.
21:12That is the important part.
21:17Get it here.
21:22She's all yours.
21:27Please, please, leave me.
21:29Hello, brother dear.
21:54Do I get a kiss?
21:56It'll have to be a sisterly one.
21:57You can keep it.
21:59Oh, I insist, Jack.
22:03What's this?
22:04Just keep it stashed for me, will you?
22:08Listen, how's the dope supply at Woodridge and Barnhurst?
22:11Any more and they'll be floating over the walls.
22:13So fellows that have enough to supply Wentworth, too, huh?
22:15It was too hard to set up before.
22:18They had a crim here for years, Bea Smith.
22:21She was top dog and that meant no dope.
22:23Well, she's not here now.
22:24I know it.
22:25She's making trouble at Barnhurst.
22:27So how about you tell your boss to put us on the delivery list?
22:31Can you handle distribution?
22:33Talking to a born middleman?
22:35How do they get the stuff in?
22:40It comes in with the garbage trucks.
22:41Oh, jeez, what happened?
22:51Oh, come on, let me give you a hand.
22:53Oh.
22:56Yeah, I know.
22:56I know.
22:57Easy, darling.
22:58That's the way.
22:59You better lie down in the bed.
23:03Oh, jeez.
23:05What a rotten muggle done this to you.
23:07Maybe we should ask you that, Parker.
23:09Me?
23:09Oh, no, I just found her.
23:10I'd say you just bashed her.
23:13No, I'm just...
23:14It's your style, isn't it?
23:15A good bashing.
23:15What you do?
23:16Getting the wrong side of your temper.
23:17Miss Ferguson.
23:17Shut up.
23:19This has got your trademark all over it.
23:22All right, Mitchell.
23:24Now, you've got nothing to fear,
23:25as long as you cooperate.
23:28Who did this to you, Mitchell?
23:33Parker.
23:33Parker.
23:37What?
23:38Right, Parker.
23:41Now we talk.
23:52Well, you shouldn't be too cross with her, Minnie.
23:54I mean, the wheels on the skip might have broken down.
23:57They're awfully wobbly.
23:58Well, maybe so, dear,
23:59but if I find Cass has been shirking,
24:01she'll feel the edge of my tongue.
24:03Well, you know, this simple man,
24:04she's probably engrossed somewhere
24:06steering the flight roll-up a wall.
24:07You'd understand that, wouldn't you, Pixie?
24:10Honestly, Sonia,
24:11you're the rudest person I've ever met.
24:13Don't take me notice, dear.
24:15Come on, you shouldn't let people see
24:16that they upset you.
24:22Well?
24:23Done.
24:24What about the dope?
24:25Are they interested?
24:27Very.
24:28When can we expect our first job?
24:30They'll confirm everything in the next prison broadcast,
24:32as long as they get $500.
24:35That's not going to be a problem, is it?
24:37No, as long as the investment's worth more well.
24:39Well, if we need any extra capital, I have an idea.
24:43I can't let my talents go rusty,
24:44so I'm thinking of producing driver's licenses.
24:47Really?
24:48I thought your forgery skills
24:49extend as far as signatures on checks.
24:51Honey, there's a lot of things you don't know about me.
24:53I'll let you into another little secret.
24:56I expect my artistic talents to be properly rewarded,
24:59which is why my share of the profits
25:00will be larger than yours.
25:02Fair enough.
25:03Also, my name will not be mentioned
25:05should anything go wrong.
25:07Well, you certainly look after number one.
25:10Nothing will go wrong.
25:13You found Mitchell, did you, Miss Ferguson?
25:15That's right.
25:16And you honestly believe her story about what happened?
25:19Why do you ask?
25:22Her injuries are not consistent
25:24with the fall down a flight of stairs.
25:26She didn't go into any detail,
25:27but I did find her at the bottom of the stairs
25:29and saw no reason to disbelieve her.
25:32You know, it's a remarkable coincidence
25:34that you happen to be on the spot
25:36every time someone gets hurt around here.
25:38What are you suggesting?
25:40Just that you might know more about these accidents
25:42than we hear.
25:43Doctor, I would suggest that you stick to medicine.
25:45Listen, your imagination isn't sharp enough
25:47to start writing whodunits.
25:49The report, if you don't mind,
25:51I've got a very busy schedule.
25:53Well, I'm sorry to have wasted your time.
25:56There are one or two aspects
25:57I'd like to discuss with the governor,
25:59so I'll be taking it to her myself.
26:01Oh, and where have you been, young lady?
26:06It's pretty difficult to do laundry
26:07when it doesn't even turn up.
26:09Oh, I'm sorry, men.
26:10I took it back, but you was all gone.
26:15What's happened?
26:17It's awful, men.
26:19Little Bobby's been bashed.
26:21Something dreadful.
26:22And I didn't do it, men.
26:24Honestly, I didn't.
26:26I mean, she told Miss Ferguson I did.
26:29Well, why would she do that?
26:30Well, obviously, Mrs. Reynolds doesn't believe her
26:32or you'd be in the pound right now.
26:35She never took me to the house.
26:37Yeah, well, it smells like something
26:39the freak had set up.
26:40Did she do the bashing?
26:41Oh, poor little Bobby.
26:42Well, why would Miss Ferguson want to beat them up?
26:44Now, come on, Cass.
26:46There's something you're not telling us, isn't there?
26:48Why didn't she take you to the governor?
26:51She wanted that tape, men.
26:54Well, I had to let her have it.
26:56She was going to do terrible things.
26:58No, not to me, to you and little Bobby.
27:01You mean there was something on that tape about Ferguson?
27:04And you shouldn't have given it to her, Cass.
27:06I'm really sorry, men.
27:07I know it was really important,
27:08but I had to let her have it.
27:09I'm not worried about the tape, Cass.
27:12I thought I could depend on you
27:14and at the first sign of pressure,
27:15you let me down.
27:17I'm very disappointed in you, Cass.
27:19I'm sorry, men.
27:20I'll get it back on us, I will.
27:24Where are you going, men?
27:25I've lost my appetite.
27:29I will get it back.
27:31I will.
27:32Well, I'm sorry, honey.
27:33But if there's something on that tape
27:35Ferguson once kept secret,
27:36you haven't got a hope in hell.
27:43Hey, look at it.
27:44You're about something.
27:44Oh, hi, Walt.
27:45Grab the other end of this.
27:46I don't want to stuff up the axe minster.
27:47Or smash a chandelier.
27:49All right.
27:50Where to, mate?
27:51Just keep going backwards.
27:53Oh, don't make me part of the wall fittings,
27:55will you?
27:55No worries.
27:56I want this place to look like
27:57it's got a bit of class.
27:59That's enough.
28:02Thanks, mate.
28:03Well, what do you think?
28:06Oh, well, I think you've got a lot to do
28:08if you want to open tomorrow.
28:09Well, I've put up notice
28:10saying I'll be open today.
28:12Oh, yeah?
28:13Well, people need time
28:14to go home and think about it.
28:15I'll be ready tomorrow
28:16when they all come trooping in.
28:18Oh, well, if get up and go
28:19is the way to run a business,
28:20you've got it made.
28:21Well, let's get stuck into it all, shall we?
28:23Great.
28:24How long have you got?
28:24I've got all afternoon.
28:26Alice is interviewing
28:26my replacement back at Bristol.
28:28Where'll I put this?
28:29Just put it on the table.
28:30Right.
28:30So, how's Mum?
28:35She accepted the idea
28:36of me moving out yet?
28:38She's a touch moody,
28:40but they usually are
28:41when the last one leaves the nest.
28:42You know, I was the same
28:42when Mickey, my daughter, went.
28:45So, when are you moving in?
28:47I'm beginning to think
28:48you're in the wrong business.
28:49I mean it.
28:50Come on, you two are made for each other.
28:52Besides, now I'm out of the way.
28:54Well, I admit we have discussed it,
28:56but we've decided
28:58we like things the way they are.
28:59In other words,
29:00mind your own business, Paul.
29:02Come on, give us a hand
29:03with your backdrop there.
29:04All right.
29:08Just listen to this, Judy.
29:10After the reception,
29:11everybody came outside
29:12and threw rice and confetti
29:14until you almost drowned in it.
29:16Oh, just imagine
29:17a lovely country wedding.
29:19Yeah, well,
29:20it couldn't happen to a nicer kid.
29:23Oh, I need to put this
29:24under my pillow tonight.
29:26Have you met Bill?
29:27Oh, you must be off
29:27your romantic sweet rosemary
29:29off of feet like that.
29:30No, I haven't met him,
29:31but Wally said
29:32he's a real down-to-earth guy.
29:34Oh, well,
29:34I suppose that sort
29:35must be romantic as well.
29:37Don't you think?
29:38You doing, Mike?
29:38I guess.
29:40Ready?
29:41Mm-hmm.
29:44Hello, Rhonda.
29:45This is Brenda.
29:46Everything's fine here.
29:48I have your birthday present.
29:50Oh, g'day, Min.
29:50Hey, you want to come?
29:51Parker.
29:51Parker.
29:52Could you just shut up
29:53while we're trying to record?
29:54Gee, sorry, Mrs. Powell.
29:56I just thought Min might...
29:57As far as the thoughts
29:57cancel outside of me.
29:58Go on, get out.
30:00Okay, go again.
30:03Hello, Rhonda.
30:04This is Brenda.
30:06Everything's fine here.
30:07I have your birthday present.
30:09Hey, can't wait to see you
30:11and we'll talk about
30:11the high times we'll have.
30:13Right soon.
30:14Ready?
30:16Okay, anybody else?
30:19All right, then.
30:19The bell's going to go
30:20in a minute,
30:21so get all this cleared up.
30:23We'll run away, kiddo.
30:37Oh, is that a tape
30:37for the broadcast tonight?
30:39Oh, no.
30:39It actually belongs
30:40to a friend of mine.
30:41It got mangled
30:42in the cassette player
30:43when she was driving me
30:44to work this morning.
30:45Hope it's not one
30:45of her favourites.
30:47Oh, well,
30:47as a matter of fact,
30:48it is,
30:48and I was going
30:50to try and fix it for her.
30:51Not much point.
30:52Even if you do
30:53get it untwisted,
30:53the sound will be distorted.
30:56Oh.
30:57Well, at least I'll know
30:58what to buy her
30:58for her birthday.
31:15Crillit cheese.
31:18Cash, all right?
31:34Honey?
31:35Hey, come on, honey.
31:36It can't be that bad.
31:38It is.
31:40Someone giving me
31:40a hard time, love?
31:41Oh, highly well
31:42I deserve, Judy.
31:44Is it men, is it?
31:45Yeah.
31:47Oh, we was real good mates
31:48and I'll let her down.
31:50Now she hates me.
31:52She doesn't hate you.
31:53She's not like that.
31:54And she's not going
31:55to hold a grudge against you
31:56for one little mistake.
31:57Oh, no.
31:58It was a big one.
31:59Well, so what?
32:00Everybody makes mistakes.
32:01Even Min makes mistakes.
32:03She'll get over it.
32:04She won't.
32:06You ever make a mistake
32:07and really hurt
32:08your best mate?
32:09Yeah.
32:09More times
32:11than I'd like to remember.
32:13Yeah.
32:13They still like you after?
32:19Well, sometimes
32:21it just takes
32:21a little bit longer
32:22for them to forgive me.
32:24But you know something, Cass?
32:26Sometimes it's not
32:27even a mistake.
32:28It's something
32:29that you have to do
32:30because there's
32:30no other way out.
32:31Well, that's what I've done.
32:34Miss Ferguson
32:34would have hurt Min real bad
32:36if I hadn't given her
32:36that rotten tape.
32:38Well, there you go.
32:39She knows that.
32:41She still won't talk to me.
32:42Tell you what.
32:45Minnie's had time
32:45to calm down now.
32:46Why don't you just
32:47go and see her
32:48and tell her
32:48how sorry you are?
32:50Well,
32:51yeah.
32:55Anyway,
32:56if I don't go
32:56and collect the maternity stuff,
32:57she'll be so mad
32:58she won't even talk to me.
33:02You reckon it might work?
33:03I reckon.
33:11I've just had Scott in here
33:13voicing the same suspicion.
33:15Well, I may be jumping
33:16to conclusions,
33:17but it's common knowledge
33:18that Joan's been up to her neck
33:20in a number of rackets
33:21that have been run here.
33:22That's a very serious
33:23allegation, Meg.
33:24Yes, I know.
33:24I also have a feeling
33:27that Mitchell's got
33:27something on her
33:28and if she has,
33:30I think it'd be a pity
33:30not to use it.
33:32Why hasn't something
33:32been done about her before?
33:34We've tried many times,
33:35but we've never been able
33:35to prove anything.
33:36And you think maybe this time?
33:38Well, this is the first time
33:39that we've had anything concrete.
33:41Mind you,
33:42even if Mitchell did admit
33:43that Joan bashed her,
33:44the department wouldn't take
33:45her word against an officer.
33:47No.
33:48If only we knew
33:49what this was about.
33:50Well, I'll confront Mitchell
33:51with it.
33:51She may give us
33:52something to go on with.
33:53It's all right, Meg.
33:54But don't let Joan know
33:55she's under any suspicion.
33:56If there's anything in this,
33:57I want to make damn sure
33:58we find enough evidence
33:59to have her thrown out
34:00on her ear.
34:07Oh, me, sorry, please.
34:09Your cimen járok.
34:10Ah, you mean?
34:11Oh, this other photographer, yeah.
34:14Well, it's all right.
34:16See, this is a surprise
34:17to my sister.
34:18She's already wanted
34:19a friend.
34:20Excuse me.
34:21He's a friend.
34:23He's a friend of mine.
34:24Oh, me, sorry, please.
34:25No, speak English.
34:27Me, want,
34:28fainted,
34:29baby,
34:30a pokróca,
34:31messzelenül.
34:32Yes?
34:32Yes, yes.
34:33Very, very good.
34:34Right, right.
34:35He will be back
34:36in five minutes.
34:37So, five, okay?
34:39Nagyon olcsó.
34:40It van a baby.
34:42Van, fogja.
34:44Me, money.
34:48No, you've got the wrong idea.
34:50It's not, it's not me.
34:51It's...
34:51It's not, it's not me.
34:54It's...
34:55Hi, well.
34:58What you got there, mate?
35:01Customer.
35:02And, uh,
35:03five dollars.
35:04This is good,
35:04if it's not a pokróca.
35:06Yes, yes.
35:08Well, let's, uh,
35:08put Junior over there
35:09and make him look fantastic.
35:15At least the props won't get stained, mate.
35:22Tomorrow?
35:23I thought it was going to take months.
35:26Well, it is rather sooner than expected,
35:28but we have everything under control.
35:30Well, I wish I could say the same.
35:33Now, Philip Goldsmith will be acting for you,
35:35so you mustn't worry.
35:37He's had similar cases, and he's handled them very well.
35:40We also have some very good defence witnesses ready,
35:43mostly from Driscoll House.
35:45Well, I know I could count on Wally, but that's great news.
35:49Of course, there's Miss Daly's attitude.
35:51That could be a bit of a problem,
35:52but we're hoping we can balance out the evidence
35:54to keep the jury on side.
35:56Yeah, but it's not just Betty, is it?
35:58I mean, what about Scott?
35:59They've called him for the prosecution.
36:00Yes, that is so, but he's not what you might call hostile.
36:04Now, Goldsmith will see to it that Dr. Collins
36:07can testify to your advantage during cross-examination.
36:12I don't know.
36:13I mean, even with everyone batting for me,
36:15I still don't hold out much hope.
36:17The jury are still going to look on it as murder.
36:19I've been saving the best till last.
36:22We've managed to reduce the charge of murder
36:24to one of aiding and abetting a suicide.
36:28Well, that's great news.
36:30Oh, God, I thought I was going to end up spending
36:32the rest of my life in this dump.
36:34Yes, well, of course, we have to remember
36:36that if found guilty,
36:38you could still spend a fair bit of time in prison.
36:41The maximum term for such a charge is 14 years.
36:44Well, well, well, where have you been?
36:53Out telling your friends again.
36:54Oh, don't you listen to her, Cass.
36:56She only wants to upset everybody.
36:58Now, you've got to believe me, Min.
36:59I know I'm not fit to be anyone's mate,
37:01but I've got to tell you,
37:02I wouldn't do nothing to hurt you on purpose,
37:04and I'm real sorry.
37:06I know you are, Cass,
37:08and I'm sorry I was hard on you.
37:10I shouldn't have blamed you
37:12for what happened with that terrible woman.
37:14I thought you were awfully brave, Cass,
37:16because you only thought of your friend.
37:18Oh, dear, it is all so touching.
37:20It's a pity there aren't more like you, dear.
37:23There are some in here
37:24who would sell their friends
37:25as soon as look at them.
37:28That's not you, dear.
37:31So you will still be me friend?
37:33I'd be proud to be.
37:34Well, you ain't ever going to be sorry
37:36ever again, Min.
37:38Oh, that's lovely, dear.
37:42You really have no idea
37:50what was on the tape?
37:51No.
37:51I mean, Mitchell admitted it was hers,
37:53but that was all.
37:54Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs Reynolds.
37:56I was just coming with these.
37:57Oh, that's all right, Meg.
37:58I remembered I needed dentists as well.
38:00How did you get on with Mitchell?
38:01Nothing at all.
38:02Hardly surprising
38:03if Ferguson had anything to do with the bashing.
38:05Donovan might be able to help.
38:06I mean, she shares with her.
38:08I doubt whether any of them will talk.
38:10Oh, come on.
38:11We've not only got the no lagging code
38:12to get through,
38:13but fear of reprisals from Joan.
38:15That'd be enough to make them clam up.
38:16Yes, but if there's anything in this
38:18that might harm the women,
38:19then I'm sure that many of you don't...
38:21Uh, is that the memo
38:23from Friday night's meeting?
38:24Yes, why?
38:25Can I have it, please?
38:26I'll have to change the time.
38:28Well, I'd better get back.
38:29Thanks for finding those for me, Meg.
38:30And would you send Donovan to me
38:32in about ten minutes?
38:33Right.
38:37Well, it would be nice to get it right
38:39first time round, Mrs. Powell.
38:41We all make mistakes, don't we?
38:46I don't know why you're so happy
38:47after just one session.
38:49Seemed a little bit, uh, piddly to me.
38:51I'll never forget the look on your face.
38:54It was worth only getting five bucks for the job.
38:56I'll tell you what,
38:56you're going to have to get
38:57a multilingual receptionist.
38:59Yeah.
39:00Oh, yes, sir.
39:01Can I help you?
39:02I hope so.
39:04This is Paul Reynolds' photographics?
39:06The one and only.
39:07Oh, good.
39:08I saw your pamphlet down the pub.
39:10Are you Reynolds?
39:11Yes.
39:11Oh, glad to know you, Paul.
39:12Name's Foster.
39:13Ray Foster.
39:14How do you do?
39:14Good.
39:15Listen, uh, how are you
39:16at, uh, covering weddings?
39:18Oh, you name it, I can do it.
39:19What date would you be needing me?
39:20Oh, it wouldn't be for a couple of weeks.
39:22My sister's getting married,
39:23but I don't want it to cost the earth.
39:25I think you'll find
39:25the prices are pretty reasonable, Ray.
39:27Why don't you get your sister to come in
39:28and we can have a chat
39:29and I'll give her a quote.
39:31Hmm, sounds good.
39:32I'll do that.
39:33You've got some good stuff up there.
39:36We'll probably see you down the local
39:37when you settle in, eh?
39:38You can count on that.
39:39Okay.
39:40See you.
39:41Bye-bye.
39:44How's that, eh?
39:45One day and I'm already in business.
39:56You all right?
39:57That's the kid, Mr. Fellows.
39:58Good.
40:00I've been waiting for this for a long time.
40:03Better make sure he's not snap-happy
40:05around the wrong people again, hadn't we?
40:08Get Harry onto it.
40:09Done.
40:09Well, Lizzie must be having a lovely time
40:15because she would have been back by now.
40:17Oh, I'm sure she is, yes.
40:18It's just a matter of adjusting to each other.
40:21Oh, hey, Jude.
40:22Hi, Cass.
40:22You said Alice said you didn't have a nice place.
40:24You know, the television set isn't on, Jude.
40:29Yes, I have noticed that, Cass.
40:33You can have my seat, kid.
40:34Oh, thanks, Jude.
40:35Oh, Jude, come and play poker with us.
40:37It's much better with three.
40:38I don't feel like a game today.
40:40Oh, come on, love.
40:41The news couldn't be all that bad.
40:43Okay.
40:48Thanks.
40:49Now, why are you looking so down in the dumps?
40:53My trials tomorrow, too.
40:56Well, if that gets you down,
40:59in a few days it'll all be behind you.
41:01Yes, Judy, and then you can start living life
41:04instead of thinking about it.
41:06I'll have two.
41:07Oh, no, three, thank you.
41:08I wouldn't call it living being stuck in this dump.
41:11Now, who says you're going to end up back in here?
41:15You've got to think positive.
41:17Where there's a biting chance,
41:18you must never give up hope.
41:20I wish I had your enthusiasm.
41:23But even though they've reduced the charge,
41:24I'm still guilty.
41:25They've reduced the charge?
41:26Well, there you are.
41:28Donovan, you want to do the governor's office.
41:30Oh, coming, Mrs. Morris.
41:34Now, chin up, Judy.
41:36All you've got to do is get that jury to understand
41:39that a little touch of humanity
41:40doesn't make a criminal.
41:42Donovan?
41:43Hmm?
41:43Oh, coming, dear.
41:46Pity about the game.
41:48It's a good hand.
41:50She's some lady, huh?
41:52She's a lovely lady,
41:53but a terrible card player.
41:56She's got all clubs,
41:56and there's not one pair.
42:01Is Ferguson coming in on the dope, dear?
42:03No way.
42:04She'll be downless like a ton of bricks
42:06if she found her.
42:07You don't seem too worried.
42:08I'm not.
42:09I've paid my insurance.
42:11That tape.
42:13That tape.
42:14Nice one.
42:19Did you put yourself down the workshop roster tomorrow?
42:21Mr. Bridges is an obliging man.
42:24Only when it comes to changing the work roster, though.
42:26More's the pity.
42:28You're going to have to get some materials in
42:29if you're going to do those licenses.
42:31Paper in the workshop won't even pass inspection.
42:33It'll do to make out a rough.
42:35In the meantime, we'll wait till we get the go-ahead
42:37from fellows on the dope.
42:38Once we've got that,
42:39it'll be no trouble at all
42:40getting some official papers slipped in.
42:42How long do we have to wait?
42:44Business is going to start dropping
42:45if we don't hurry up and make good with the promises.
42:47You ought to be careful
42:48who you make promises to around his statements.
42:50Well, well, if it isn't my partner in crime.
42:53Found any good tapes lately?
42:55Just lowering the odds.
42:57Wouldn't want anything to interfere
42:58with our business, dearlings, would we?
43:00Of course not, Miss Ferguson.
43:06I wonder if the nice lady
43:08would be so cocky
43:09if she knew about the other one.
43:11Now, Mrs Reynolds,
43:13you know me better than that.
43:14I'm not suggesting you tell us anything
43:16that can get the other women into trouble.
43:18What I mean is,
43:19I do something for you
43:20and you do something for me.
43:23What are your terms?
43:25There's no way I can get the department
43:26to change its mind on the rehabilitation scheme.
43:28No, no, obviously,
43:29we have to tackle that from a different angle.
43:31What I'd like to see
43:33is an open family day,
43:35once a month,
43:36and a good work release program.
43:39Oh, he'd have to get
43:40official departmental approval,
43:42but I think they're very workable schemes.
43:44Do you think the department would agree?
43:46I can't see them having any objections.
43:49Oh, no outlays.
43:50Right.
43:52Agreed?
43:52Yes.
43:54Now, what can you tell us about this tape?
43:56That tape would have given you
44:01all you need to know about Ferguson.
44:05Not only is she involved right up to her neck
44:08in every racket in the prison,
44:10but I can tell you things about it
44:12that'll make your hair curl.
44:14He used to give me roses
44:23I wish he could again
44:28But that was on the outside
44:34And things were different then
44:39On the inside
44:41The sun still shines
44:44And the rain falls down
44:49But the sun and rain are Christmas too
44:54When morning comes around
44:59Last night I dreamed we worked together
45:04Sharing all the love ignored
45:09Till I had to face the nightmare
45:15Of waking up alone
45:19On the inside the roses grow
45:23They don't mind the stony ground
45:29But the roses here are Christmas too
45:34When morning comes around
45:39When morning comes around
