00:00You alright? That's the kid, Mr. Fellas.
00:03Good.
00:05I've been waiting for this for a long time.
00:08Better make sure he's not snap-happy around the wrong people again, hadn't we?
00:12Get Harry onto it.
00:13Done.
00:18Is Ferguson coming in on the dope, dear?
00:20No way. She read down us like a ton of bricks if you found out.
00:23You don't seem too worried.
00:24I'm not. I've paid my insurance.
00:27That tape?
00:28That tape.
00:30What are your terms?
00:32There's no way I can get the department to change its mind on the rehabilitation scheme.
00:36No, no, obviously we have to tackle that from a different angle.
00:39What I'd like to see is an open family day once a month and a good work release program.
00:47Oh, he'd have to get official departmental approval, but I think they're very workable schemes.
00:52Do you think the department would agree?
00:54I can't see them having any objections.
00:56Well, no outlays.
00:58Right.
00:59Agreed?
01:00Yes.
01:02Now, what can you tell us about this tape?
01:04That tape would have given you all you need to know about Ferguson.
01:12Not only is she involved right up to her neck in every racket in the prison, but I can tell
01:19you things about her that will make your hair curl.
01:22She's just about as good manipulator as I am, but she destroys people in the process.
01:40Just stick to the facts, Minnie.
01:42These are very serious allegations.
01:43Oh, the booze and numbers racket to mine are compared to the fact that she's indirectly involved
01:49in every bashing and death that's happened since she came.
01:52And she got rid of Bea.
01:54Nothing surprises me.
01:56But you've got no concrete proof of any of this.
01:58Oh, the women will back me up.
02:00Oh, I guess that's not enough, eh?
02:03Sorry, Minnie.
02:05Wild accusations are continually being levelled at offices.
02:08The tape from this would have helped, though, judging from what you said was on it.
02:12Well, Sonia has a copy.
02:15I'm positive of it.
02:17Does she?
02:18It'd be in the interest of all of us if you could get that other tape, Mrs. Reynolds.
02:23And it'd certainly help drive a big, hefty nail into Ferguson's coffin.
02:30It wasn't a bit like last time.
02:33The kids were really beautiful.
02:35And Diane, she lost a packet of the races and didn't even stop laughing.
02:40How was your day, Lizzie?
02:42Oh, really nice, thanks, men.
02:43I'm glad.
02:45Can't wait until I finish eating.
02:46Just come along with me, students.
02:48Right now.
02:54Did you see that?
02:55What's up with her nose?
02:58What's the matter with Sonia?
02:59She's been questioned about her dealings with Ferguson.
03:03You lagged to the governor.
03:06Not exactly, Lizzie.
03:07I pointed the finger at Sonia.
03:10Mrs. Reynolds now knows all about the capers involving Ferguson.
03:15No wonder you were gone so long.
03:16What did Mrs. Reynolds say?
03:18Shut up, Pixie.
03:19Lagging's not on, no matter what.
03:21I understand that, Lizzie.
03:22But in this case, the most important thing for all of us is to get rid of Ferguson, isn't it?
03:28How many more of us are going to disappear, be bashed, die even because of her?
03:33It meant dobbing Sonia in.
03:36It was the only thing to do, and I have no regrets.
03:40Yeah, I think Minnie's right.
03:42I mean, there are exceptions to every rule.
03:44You all know that.
03:45Maybe there are.
03:47But laggers are still the scum of the earth.
03:50Oh, I understand why you want the tape, Mrs. Reynolds.
03:57But in here, everything has a price on it.
04:00I'd call that blackmail.
04:01I'd call it insurance.
04:03Insurance that everybody gets what they deserve after the transaction.
04:06You're wasting your time, Stevens.
04:08I'll pull this place apart until I find it.
04:11What makes you think it's in the prison?
04:12What do you want?
04:16Two things.
04:17Firstly, immunity from the prosecution regarding the rackets.
04:20And secondly, maximum remissions for my parole.
04:24You know I can't grant those concessions, Stevens.
04:28That's something the department will have to rule on.
04:31I understand perfectly, Mrs. Reynolds.
04:33And I'm more than willing to wait.
04:35You see, I'm extremely cooperative.
04:42Am I intruding?
04:55You could say that.
04:57I'm sorry.
05:00You still think I did the wrong thing?
05:03Too bloody right I do.
05:05But something had to be done.
05:07You must realise that, Lizzie.
05:08See, all I know is that the top dog lagged.
05:13Bea'd never have done a thing like that.
05:16Yes.
05:17I changed the rules, didn't I?
05:20But the end result is the same.
05:23Bea understood how important it was to get rid of Ferguson, and so do I.
05:27They've all tried before.
05:29But this time it'll work.
05:32I still don't think it was right.
05:34Oh, Lizzie, to be so much better in here without someone like Ferguson around, she brings the
05:41worst out in people.
05:43With her gone, we can try and help some of the weaker ones.
05:48Make them realise they've got something positive to offer.
05:53Bea used to say that.
05:56She was right.
05:58We're all in here together whether we like it or not.
06:00And we've all got to help each other survive the course.
06:04But with someone round like Ferguson, it's a pretty hard thing to do.
06:08Yeah.
06:09This dump's never been the same since she came.
06:12Everybody at each other's throats.
06:15Well, we're going to change that.
06:18But I'll need your support.
06:20What can I do?
06:22The women look up to you, Lizzie.
06:24If you don't back me, nobody will.
06:29And if that happens, the freak will win again.
06:32Oh, we can't let that happen, can we?
06:35I'll leave me knickers till later.
06:37We'll go and straighten the others out.
06:42I need that tape brought back in right away.
06:44Yeah?
06:45Why the big rush?
06:46If I thought it would help, I'd let you know.
06:48Just bring it back.
06:49Well, it's not so easy getting things in as it is getting them out.
06:52It'll take time.
06:53When?
06:54Well, it depends when you want the information.
06:57It's got something on it for the governor, right?
06:58Is that why she wanted to see you?
07:00That recording has no value to anyone but me.
07:03Okay.
07:04I'll get hold of the contact tomorrow.
07:08Interested in our special radio program from Woodridge?
07:16Thought you might be.
07:20Yes, but I'm a bit confused.
07:21Well, does that mean we can love from now on?
07:24No, Pixie, but sometimes...
07:26Sometimes it's different, love.
07:29Men will tell you when.
07:30You trust men.
07:31Oh, well, I'm glad you're both friends.
07:33I hate it when people quarrel.
07:34Lizzie?
07:35Lizzie?
07:36I think this is the letter you've been waiting for.
07:38Oh, from B!
07:40Oh, quick, where are Miss Bex?
07:42Come on.
07:44Shut up, everybody, and listen.
07:51Dear Lizzie and company, it has taken a while, but I had some adjusting to do at Barnhurst.
07:59I hope you are all managing to take just as good care of things back home.
08:05Just stick to your mates and you'll be right.
08:09I met a couple of Jude's Driscoll house girls, and they said to tell her that they are barricading
08:17for her, and that goes double for me.
08:22Just like we all are, love.
08:23Yeah, I know, I know.
08:24Just get on with B's letter.
08:25Yes.
08:26Has she said whether they have any male officers there?
08:28Let's finish here.
08:30Oh, God, there's a big piece cut out of here, the rotten buggers.
08:34And anyway, Mary's still saying, Gina, that's the bit's been cut out, too.
08:46I haven't seen too much that's different here, and vinegar tits is as sour as ever.
08:54Another certainty is that I'll see you again soon.
08:58Does that mean she's going to escape?
09:00If she does, I doubt she'll drop in and visit us, Pixie.
09:03Our next message comes from Rhonda to her sister.
09:07Happy to hear your news.
09:09Have written, you should get it tomorrow.
09:12Hope you're keeping clean.
09:13We're in.
09:15When's the rubbish pick up tomorrow?
09:16After lunch.
09:19Hey, I thought you ladies wanted to hear the broadcast.
09:22Oh, Pope, I wanted to hear me messages have been on yet, Brenda.
09:27Are you sure speed reading doesn't harm the eyes?
09:34Don't be flippant, Wally.
09:35Flippant?
09:37I like it.
09:43Paul seems rather wrapped in his flap, don't you think?
09:46How do you feel about it?
09:51Not important.
09:52Of course it's important.
09:54You must feel some sense of loss.
09:58Well, at least you're not alone, are you?
10:00That depends on how you look at things.
10:04Is something else eating you?
10:07I told you it's not important.
10:08It's probably because I'm tired.
10:14If you'll excuse me, I think I'll go to bed.
10:17Okay.
10:19Have a good night's sleep.
10:21I'll see you in the morning.
10:22My, my, we aren't touchy, aren't we?
10:40It's only the freak's codename.
10:42If she starts hassling us about the dope,
10:44I'll just send out the codename
10:45and Ferguson gets herself a couple of visitors.
10:48And the license paper?
10:50Well, that'll take a couple of days.
10:52Well, you have got your connections organised, haven't you?
10:55Yeah.
10:57It takes a while to get people's trust,
10:59especially fellows.
11:00But once you're in, you're made.
11:02Which is why my cut's larger, right?
11:04I've never argued that.
11:06Well, remember it.
11:08You start hassling the fellows crowd
11:09and it's a quick trip to the undertaker's.
11:22McGregory's, like, through five years...
11:27What's going on?
11:29What are you doin', what's going on?
11:29Let's get it back to me.
11:30But you don't see anyオ victims.
11:32No, they're legitimately trying to shit out on footage.
11:33They're the ones you just dirty, right?
11:34Well, you don't know.
11:35Yes, it's funny.
11:36No, you didn't stand back.
11:36Oh!
11:37Little wind.
11:37Let's go.
12:07Let's go.
12:37Let's go.
13:07Let's go.
13:38Is there any hot water left, Lily?
13:40Sorry, dear, but never mind.
13:41Cold showers are meant to be wonderfully invigorating.
13:44I always have cold water.
13:45It's not fair.
13:47Oh, I don't know, Pixie.
13:48I think it's exactly what you need.
13:50The way you carry on with anything male around the scene.
13:53Isn't that right, Donovan?
13:57You'd almost think they're expecting trouble.
14:00It's only natural.
14:01You have a way of attracting it.
14:03Sometimes it's out of my hand.
14:06Everyone gets their just dessert.
14:08And of course, you're right, Minnie.
14:10And this time the dessert was very sweet.
14:13For some reason, it all turned out in my favor.
14:15You see, Lagoon has its rewards.
14:20Listen.
14:20I don't like her when she's that pleased with herself.
14:28I don't like her at any time.
14:31Well, we'll leave straight after Master.
14:32Oh, Mrs. Morris, can I make a phone call after breakfast?
14:36I seem to recall you having everyone just the other day.
14:38Oh, yes, I know.
14:39But my mother's really sick of them.
14:40And I really like to check she's okay.
14:43All right.
14:44Hurry along.
14:46You too, Stevens.
14:46Thanks, Mrs. Morris.
14:48You're a prick.
14:58Oi!
14:59How about some service?
15:01Sorry, wait for your second.
15:03Oh, hi, Wally.
15:04You're early.
15:05Don't let me stop you.
15:06I want to hear your sales spiel.
15:07I prefer to do it on real customers.
15:09They're pretty rare animals.
15:10Oh, give me time.
15:11You've only been in business a minute.
15:13Yeah, and already I've had a break in.
15:15You're joking.
15:16Last night?
15:16Yep.
15:17I thought I heard somebody moving around,
15:18and when I came in, I found the door unlocked.
15:20Did you...?
15:21I definitely locked it.
15:23Hmm.
15:23What's missing?
15:25Well, that's the strange part.
15:26Nothing.
15:27But this equipment's worth quids.
15:29You mean as though they actually broke into the place
15:31and left all this behind?
15:33I don't know.
15:33Maybe I scared them away or something.
15:34Well, it could be the walls just settling.
15:38You know, I wouldn't worry.
15:40Yeah, you're probably right.
15:42Could have been my pet cockroaches battling mum's insecticide.
15:46She's sprayed enough of the stuff around.
15:48It's one of them not falling from the ceiling.
15:50Tell you what.
15:51If it'll make you feel any better, I'll put a deadlock on.
15:54No, it's okay.
15:55Anyway, you've got enough on your plate with Driscoll.
15:57No, no, no.
15:57That's all right.
15:58My replacement officially takes over soon.
16:00But I'm thinking of going into business as a freelance devil's advocate.
16:04You don't seem to be too worried about losing your job.
16:07I'm not.
16:09I've got other things on my mind.
16:11Like Judy's trial today.
16:19Three minutes, Hewitt.
16:21Thanks, Mrs. Barry.
16:24Hi, it's Brenda.
16:26Listen, that tape, did you get it?
16:27Right, now listen carefully.
16:31I want you to play it, and if there's anything on it about a screw named Joan Ferguson,
16:35get it to Don quick smart.
16:40Mrs. Barry, would you make sure Mrs. Reynolds gets those photo stats as soon as possible, please?
16:44I forgot them.
16:45Oh, yes, certainly.
16:47Break a leg, Judy.
16:49Thanks.
16:49If that's what it takes, I'll gladly break both of them.
16:52Oh, good morning, Mr. Charlton.
16:54How are you this morning?
16:55Oh, good morning.
16:55Fine, thanks.
16:56Uh, is it possible to see Mrs. Reynolds?
16:58Oh, I'm sure it will be.
16:59Uh, just take a seat and I'll see what I can do, okay?
17:02Thanks.
17:03You're all right, that's my health insurance policy.
17:06Time's up, Hewitt.
17:08Gotta go.
17:08Talk to you later.
17:10Bye.
17:11Come on, get a wriggle on.
17:13Isn't it amazing how time flies when you're having fun?
17:15Yes, all right, thank you.
17:24Goodbye.
17:26Sorry about that.
17:27Now, where were we?
17:30Well, as you probably realise, the last couple of weeks have been very trying for our family.
17:36Mm, naturally.
17:37And for your mother as well.
17:38Yes, I know.
17:40Perhaps we've underestimated the effects it would have on her.
17:43Then again, we're not in the best position to judge it either.
17:46I just hope that she can cope with the changes.
17:49Well, Lizzie's remarkably adaptable, I assure you.
17:52Well, I hope you're right, Mrs. Reynolds, because Diane and I want my mother with us permanently.
17:57I had a feeling you might say that.
18:00I'll contact the department and arrange a parole hearing as soon as possible.
18:04Shouldn't be long in Lizzie's case.
18:05That's terrific.
18:07Look, thanks very much for everything you've done.
18:10I really appreciate it.
18:11My pleasure.
18:13Well, I suppose the next step is to discuss it with your mother.
18:16I'll arrange a visit now.
18:17What are you doing, Pixie?
18:22Oh, I'm just getting these ready for the truck.
18:24Why, do you want me to go into something else?
18:26No, dear, you're doing very well.
18:27But why are you mixing the coloured sheets?
18:29Shouldn't they be kept separate?
18:31Yes.
18:32Blue for the hospital and green for the old people's home.
18:34But, well, don't you think it'd be nice if the old people could change their colours every now and then?
18:39Well, yes, dear, I do.
18:40Except, what?
18:41That's not the point.
18:43Oh, Lizzie, will you explain to Pixie?
18:48Lizzie?
18:49What?
18:51What's the matter, dear?
18:52Oh, what do you think?
18:54Being stuck in this bloody joint's enough to drive anyone around the twist.
18:59You're worried about Judy, aren't you?
19:01Look, don't worry, Lizzie.
19:02She'll be all right.
19:03What makes you think that?
19:05Well, she'll have all those obby barrister people took after her, won't she?
19:09So did I.
19:10And I've spent more than half my rotten life in this bloody joint for something I didn't even do.
19:15What hope has she got?
19:18Even I wouldn't have anything to do with her when they brought her in.
19:21Now I'm supposed to be her mate.
19:23No one would blame you, dear.
19:25I think all the girls were shocked a bit.
19:27Lizzie?
19:28What's wrong?
19:30Nothing's wrong.
19:31You've got a visitor.
19:32Now, do you want...
19:32Is it Arthur?
19:33Well, it's a Mr. Charlton.
19:35I'm not sure of his Christian name.
19:36Oh, dearie!
19:37Ha, ha, ha!
19:39I just can't keep up with Lizzie sometimes.
19:41Don't worry about it, dear.
19:43As long as she's happy now, that's the main thing.
19:48I think the larger ones will probably do.
19:50Well, for the same price, you could get two of the large ones and four of the small ones.
19:54Could I have a look at the size of the small ones, please?
19:56Yeah, sure.
19:56Oh, good morning, gentlemen.
20:06Can I help you?
20:07Paul Reynolds?
20:08Yes.
20:08I'm Detective Sergeant Brooks.
20:09This is my partner, Senior Detective Clark, Templewood CIB.
20:13And?
20:14We'd like to search the premises.
20:17Here's the warrant.
20:18I'll think about those prints and come back later.
20:21Thanks for your help.
20:23Oh, look, this isn't particularly good for business.
20:26Would you mind telling us what you're after?
20:28We'll let you know that when we find it.
20:37Strike me lucky.
20:39Come and live with you.
20:42Oh, thank you for asking me, Arthur.
20:46It means a hell of a lot to me.
20:50But it wouldn't work, love.
20:53Why not, Mum?
20:54Listen, love.
20:57I've been in here for donkey's years.
21:00And you sort of get settled in at my age.
21:04Yes, but...
21:05Now you've got a family to take care of you.
21:08Don't get me wrong.
21:10I'm glad you found me.
21:12That's really important.
21:14But me mates are in here.
21:16And they're my family, too.
21:20Yes.
21:23I realise that, but now it's our turn.
21:26We want you with us, Mum.
21:27You think you do.
21:30But visiting people and living with them is a different kettle of fish.
21:34It'd muck everybody out.
21:36Mum, we're not asking you because we feel guilty.
21:39The kids want their grandmothers.
21:42And so do Diane and I.
21:44It would mean more to me than you could know.
21:48Yeah.
21:52I'd have to think really hard
21:55before I could really change anything at the moment.
22:01You still maintain you know nothing about these?
22:03Look, I swear I've never seen them before.
22:05Then what are they doing amongst your work orders?
22:07Seems a bit coincidental, wouldn't you say?
22:09Look, there was an intruder here last night.
22:10He must have planted them there.
22:12An intruder, eh?
22:13Did you report it?
22:15Why didn't you?
22:16Hello, Ann Reynolds speaking.
22:27Pat, we've got a problem at the shop.
22:30What sort of problem?
22:31Is Paul all right?
22:33The police are questioning him now.
22:35Police?
22:36Oh, well, what's going on?
22:39It seems they've found some pornographic material on the premises.
22:42That's true.
22:43But that's ludicrous.
22:46It's serious.
22:47Yes, I know.
22:48Nothing's wrong.
22:49Don't worry, Ann.
22:49I'll go with him to the station.
22:51You can meet us there.
22:53Right.
22:54Wally, is Paul being charged?
22:57Yes.
22:59With possession and manufacture of pornographic material
23:03pertaining to minors.
23:10Well, surely in a case like that
23:13an appeal would be automatic.
23:14No, no, it's far more complicated than you know, Mrs. Powell.
23:18Oh, the time.
23:20Mr. Harnsworth, I'm sorry I'm late.
23:22Oh, Mrs. Reynolds.
23:24Thank you, Mrs. Powell.
23:25Good afternoon, Mr. Harnsworth.
23:26Good afternoon.
23:28It was very rude of me to keep you waiting.
23:30An urgent family matter, I'm afraid.
23:33I quite understand.
23:34But I am a busy man.
23:36Of course, I wouldn't have asked to see you
23:38if this hadn't been important.
23:41One of our officers seems to be implicated
23:43in organized rackets within the prison.
23:46What?
23:47I find that hard to believe.
23:48Who is it?
23:49Joan Ferguson.
23:50But she has the most exemplary record.
23:53You have evidence?
23:55Yes, one of our prisoners.
23:56It's only verbal at this stage.
23:59Well, the word of a prisoner
24:00is hardly convincing evidence.
24:02Proceed to an investigation on the strength of that
24:04and you'll be setting a precedent
24:05for every officer in the service
24:07to be open to blackmail.
24:08I realize that.
24:10No, no, Mrs. Reynolds.
24:11I'm afraid you'll need a lot more to go on than that.
24:13But, Mr. Harnsworth,
24:15I wouldn't have asked to see you
24:16if that's all there was.
24:18Apparently, there is a tape recording
24:19which backs up these allegations.
24:21Where?
24:23A copy is to be given to me
24:25once I agree to certain conditions.
24:27Mrs. Reynolds, you know very well
24:29the department frowns on that sort of thing.
24:32But I have reason to believe
24:33that this is not just an effort
24:34to get rid of an astute officer.
24:36Even so, I...
24:36I don't need to tell you
24:37how much harm one corrupt officer can cause.
24:43Yes, you're quite right, of course.
24:45I suppose we should look into it.
24:47But I must insist
24:48we protect the interests of Officer Ferguson
24:50until such time as these allegations are proven.
24:53Naturally.
24:53Well, how soon could you organise an investigation?
24:59This afternoon?
25:00No, I won't be available.
25:02Call in the necessary people now.
25:04And a pot of tea would be welcome.
25:07Of course, sir.
25:08Oh, but Lizzie, the bell's already gone.
25:17Never mind that.
25:18This is important.
25:20All right.
25:22All right.
25:24Now, what is it?
25:25It's me son.
25:27He wants me to go and live with him.
25:29But that's wonderful, dear.
25:32Oh, I suppose so.
25:33That's why I needed to talk to you.
25:36All my mates are here, you see.
25:39Sometimes I hate this place so much
25:42it makes me sick.
25:43But it's my home, men.
25:45But your family are offering you
25:46a real home, Lizzie.
25:48Yeah.
25:50Supposing they shove me in a back room
25:52and only bring me out
25:53when they've got visitors.
25:54That's just your cold feet talking.
25:58You know that's not true.
25:59And Arthur loves you.
26:00He came looking for you, didn't he?
26:02And think of it.
26:03Your own place.
26:05No locks.
26:06No bells.
26:07Yeah.
26:08Would be lovely.
26:10And me grandkids.
26:12But what about me mates?
26:14Oh, you're not going to lose us, do you?
26:16Mrs Reynolds will let you come and visit us.
26:19And anyway,
26:20you'll have a chance to make new friends.
26:22Oh, yeah.
26:24Senior citizens.
26:26Tea and scones and a sing-song.
26:28How do you reckon I could put up with that lot?
26:30You couldn't.
26:31But I've got a group that'll fit you like a glove.
26:35They have race days,
26:36poker parties,
26:37pub nights,
26:38you name it,
26:39they have a ball.
26:41Yeah.
26:42And they're friends of mine.
26:44Jack's the best contact I've got
26:46when I've got to get rid of anything extra around the house.
26:48Do you reckon they'd let me tag along the races and everything?
26:52I think they'd love you, Lizzie.
26:54You'd be just their cup of tea.
26:56And right now,
26:57my tongue's hanging out for a good strong cuppa.
27:00Come on.
27:01Oh, we'll miss out.
27:02I'd better hurry and let her have
27:04for now that I've changed me mind.
27:09That's it.
27:10Thanks.
27:13Good afternoon.
27:15Yes.
27:16Well, it could be
27:17for some of us.
27:19Mr. Hansworth
27:20is waiting to see you
27:21in the governor's office.
27:23To see me?
27:24He's come all this way to see me.
27:26Must be important.
27:27Apparently.
27:28Something to do with a certain tape.
27:32What could that possibly have to do with me?
27:35Don't keep him waiting.
27:40Make it a double-served love.
27:42There's nobody else coming out.
27:43Any help, thank you.
27:45I didn't know you were out of hospital, Mary.
27:48You all right?
27:49What do you reckon?
27:51I don't believe you've met Brenda.
27:56Sick.
27:57Obviously blames me for the bashing.
28:00Make it cool?
28:02Yeah.
28:03When can we get it back in?
28:05Well, there's not much point, really.
28:07What are those stupid fools
28:09spilled coffee all over it?
28:10It's stuff.
28:11What?
28:12Oh, sorry.
28:13I hope it wasn't too important.
28:14Listen, don't play games with me, Hubert.
28:16I don't know what you're planning on doing,
28:17but believe me, it won't work.
28:18I want the tape back.
28:19Oh, you wish you never set eyes on me.
28:23You're very good at wielding the beef stick,
28:25aren't you, Sonia?
28:25But you're forgetting something.
28:26Oh, the dope.
28:29You won't see a penny of that bread without me,
28:31so the boot's on the other foot, isn't it?
28:34Look, we need each other, right?
28:37Forget about the tape.
28:38It's gone.
28:39Concentrate on this new business we're setting up.
28:41That's where the money is.
28:43Stephens, you want it in the governor's office.
28:49That's quite clear, Governor.
28:57You've been sold a bill of goods.
28:59Have I, Miss Ferguson?
29:01These allegations are ridiculous.
29:03A lot of the women are prepared to substantiate them.
29:05Oh, I'm sure they are.
29:07But it doesn't mean they're true, does it?
29:09You may be right, Miss Ferguson,
29:11but we do have to go through the motions nevertheless.
29:14Yes, well, with all due respect, sir,
29:16you do have to understand these women.
29:18They don't take too kindly to an officer
29:20who expects them to stick to the rules.
29:22Explain that.
29:24Well, now, Stephens, for instance,
29:26she's just had a loss of privileges
29:28for her involvement in a gambling
29:30and illicit alcohol racket.
29:32Well, of course she's going to try and get back at me.
29:34All right, Miss Ferguson,
29:35we realise prisoners do try to retaliate,
29:38but how do you explain this?
29:40Ah, yes, young Mitchell's tape.
29:45She fell down the stairs, sir,
29:46and in the process damaged the tape.
29:48I thought I might be able to fix it for her.
29:50Well, that's an admirable sentiment.
29:52I see.
29:55Where's the missing tape, then?
29:57Oh, I didn't know that it was missing.
29:59It was certainly in there when I left the staff room,
30:02Mrs Morris can tell you that.
30:04Come in.
30:08Thank you, Miss Riley.
30:10Now, Stephens,
30:13your requests will be granted
30:15in return for the tape you told me about.
30:19Did you bring it with you?
30:21I'm sorry, Mrs Reynolds,
30:22I don't know what you're talking about.
30:26Would you prefer to speak to us alone, Stephens?
30:30About that tape you mentioned?
30:33Yes.
30:34I'm sorry, Mrs Reynolds,
30:35but I don't know about any tape that could help you.
30:37Here, let me.
30:47Oh, thanks.
30:49Better not let anyone else here do this.
30:50Oh, you girls work pretty hard as it is.
30:52What are you doing in the workshop, anyway?
30:53You've been lugging these things in and out all day.
30:55Oh, the prison officers like to keep our noses to the grindstone.
30:59They think that way we'll stay out of trouble.
31:01You better let me take it now.
31:03I never know who might be coming around the corner.
31:04Right, why don't we head for the bushes?
31:33Nice day for it.
31:35Come on.
31:39Oh, yeah.
31:40Hazel was asking all of us to kill her, not just Betty.
31:44Now,
31:46Miss Daly has told us of the defendant's reaction to Kent's death.
31:51Were you present at the time?
31:53Well, not when Betty found Hazel.
31:55But you saw the defendant soon after?
31:57Yeah.
32:00And what was her reaction to her...
32:03friend's death?
32:05Well, I think she was kind of relieved.
32:08I think she was glad that Hazel was out of her pain.
32:12We don't need to know what you thought.
32:14Thank you, Miss Mills.
32:21Dr. Collins,
32:22how long do you think the deceased would have lived had she not taken that fatal overdose?
32:28Well, that's a little hard to say.
32:29Well, just try, Doctor.
32:31Well, you must understand there are several factors to take into account.
32:35I'm sure we're all aware of that.
32:36But in a general sense,
32:39could Hazel Kent have lasted for a week, two weeks, a month?
32:42As I was about to say.
32:44Six months?
32:45That's possible, but...
32:46That's fine.
32:48Thank you, Doctor.
32:57She said she'd killed a woman.
32:59That she'd administered a lethal dose of morphine to the person in question.
33:05Just like that?
33:06Yes, sir.
33:07According to my recollection, sir.
33:09No, that's not how it was at all.
33:13Why don't you do something?
33:14You'll keep...
33:15Get Wally up here.
33:16He'll know how I really...
33:16The prisoner will take her seat and keep quiet.
33:18Silence!
33:21If I have to warn your client once more, Mr. Goldsmith,
33:25she will be charged with contempt of court.
33:29Your Honor.
33:29The garden looks like it needs a bit of work.
33:39Yeah.
33:40The last governor, she started the prisoners growing their own veggies,
33:43but it didn't really come to much.
33:45They would rather opt for the higher-paying jobs.
33:48Oh, that's a pity.
33:49There's nothing like fresh vegetables straight out of your own garden.
33:51You sound as though you know what you're talking about.
33:53Yeah, gardening's about the best way of relaxing, I know.
33:56Perhaps I should get this one started up again.
33:58I don't know.
34:28Oh, hi, you're back.
34:40Look, I'll take Judy through.
34:41You have your break.
34:42Thanks, Dave.
34:42Come on, love.
34:45I take it.
34:46It didn't go very well.
34:48You could say that.
34:49It's going to be a long trial.
34:52Well, why's that?
34:53Prosecution today, defence tomorrow, three days at the most, surely.
34:56Well, long in terms of the strain on Judy.
34:59I mean, the prosecution did a very good job.
35:00It couldn't look worse.
35:02Well, you know how they can make the most innocent statements sound damning.
35:05I mean, even Scott's evidence made Judy look black.
35:08God.
35:09And she didn't help matters either.
35:11She got all upset and started yelling at her solicitor.
35:14Judge Warren nearly burst her blood vessel trying to quieten her down.
35:18Oh, that's the worst thing she could have done.
35:19So you can imagine how the jury's going to take it after hearing today's evidence.
35:25If I didn't know Judy, I could quite easily believe that she was nothing more than a ruthless, cold-blooded murderer.
35:40Stevens.
35:43You'd better have a good reason for that little charade in the governor's office, or you won't be looking quite so smug when I'm finished with you.
35:50Of course I have.
35:51But you must admit I'd be better off without you.
35:53Oh, nice try.
35:54What went wrong?
35:56I'd change my mind.
35:58It's better the devil you know than the devil you don't.
36:00Oh, come on, Stevens.
36:01I can't imagine you passing up a chance to get out of here.
36:04Not unless something went wrong.
36:05And I'm prepared to buy it.
36:07For now.
36:10So you just watch yourself in the future, Stevens.
36:13Any more clever tricks and you'll be selling tickets to your own funeral.
36:17And get that stuff into the laundry.
36:18Oh, you've timed that well, didn't you?
36:26Well, you can put it in the bag till tomorrow.
36:29Run it off at the mouth again, Donovan?
36:32You've been doing a lot of that lately, haven't you?
36:35And it's all been a waste of time.
36:41Ladies, you'll all be thrilled to know that I am going to be around for a long time yet.
36:48It didn't work, ladies.
36:54You're going to have to try a hell of a lot harder than that to beat me at my game.
37:03Now get out of here, the lot of you.
37:04Oh, hi, Scott.
37:25Oh, good evening.
37:26Just finished?
37:27Yeah.
37:29Oh, sorry, my mind's still on the trial.
37:31Oh, look, I'm sorry.
37:32I forgot you were calling the witness, weren't you?
37:34Yeah.
37:35Doesn't look good for Judy.
37:36Well, that's an understatement.
37:38I know we're not supposed to get involved with the prisoners, but sometimes it's hard not to.
37:43I understand you married one of them.
37:45Yeah, but I knew her before she came in.
37:47Oh, I didn't know that.
37:49Well, I need a cup of coffee.
37:50How about you?
37:51No, I'm right, thanks.
37:53The women all think you're just a great bloke, especially Lizzie.
37:57Yeah, she's quite a character, isn't she?
37:59Yeah.
38:00Always finding an excuse to come and see me, but I don't mind.
38:03She's got a heart condition, so I like to keep a close eye on her.
38:06Oh, I'll keep it in mind.
38:09Well, it's certainly refreshing being among all these women after being in a male prison.
38:14A job can be just as hard, though.
38:16Oh, I'm sure it can be at times.
38:18I'm more comfortable around women.
38:20I suppose it's because when I was growing up, there was just Mum and myself.
38:24We were pretty close.
38:25Yeah.
38:26That's her.
38:34Oh, she looks nice.
38:37Yeah.
38:40So, how long do you think you'll be staying here?
38:42Well, I'd like to make a few changes if I can.
38:45I feel by locking these women up we're defeating their purpose.
38:48We have to make an outlet for them, make them feel worthwhile.
38:52Of course, I hardly started yet.
38:54I'm still finding my way around, but I intend to.
38:57Can't give a good bloke down, eh?
38:58You've got it.
38:59Cheers.
39:00Cheers.
39:01But that's totally untrue.
39:03I agree, Meg.
39:04But she had the minister in the palm of her hand from then on.
39:07He doesn't know Joan like we do.
39:09You've got to give her one thing.
39:10She's quick on her feet.
39:11But surely he didn't base his decision purely on what Joan said happened to that tape.
39:15I had the feeling he was going through the motions.
39:18If we'd come up with some hard evidence, I'm sure he'd have backed us to the hilt.
39:20But what about the other copy, the one Stephen said she had?
39:23If we can get hold of it, we may be able to prove that Joan's up to her neck in these
39:27rackets.
39:27If not, there's nothing we can do.
39:29You mean Stephen's backed down?
39:31Yes.
39:32I'm as sorry as you are, but Joan has been officially vindicated.
39:37By the minister himself.
39:43Who are you?
39:44New officer.
39:45I didn't think you'd come to fix the TV.
39:48David Bridges.
39:50And you're?
39:51Mary Adler.
39:52You all right?
39:53What's it to you?
39:55You look a bit of colour.
39:56Well, so would you be if you'd just been laid out by a bloody great ox.
39:59Is there anything I can do?
40:00No, no, she's right.
40:02But thanks, anyway.
40:04Who's winning?
40:05Oh, the other bloke.
40:08Hello, love.
40:10Good.
40:11Horrid, it was worth getting faster to be sitting here with a handsome young fella.
40:16You ladies don't have it too bad, do you?
40:18Oh, jeez, Mr Bridges, I don't know.
40:20Miss Ferguson just had us out playing netball in the rain.
40:22That wasn't much fun.
40:23That was volleyball, Cass.
40:26Well, whatever.
40:27It wasn't much fun.
40:27Seriously, though, is it really so awful in here?
40:31Well, it's no picnic, dear.
40:33Might be a piece of cake for you lot.
40:36You just put in your hours and then you're off home.
40:38But we're stuck in this bloody lousy joint forever.
40:42Yeah, you tell him, Missy.
40:43Look at this poor little bugger here.
40:46You'd give your right arm to be somewhere else, wouldn't you, love?
40:49You bet.
40:50I'm getting out soon, so it's all right for me.
40:53But young Mary here, she's got years to do yet.
40:56It's hard when you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
41:01Yes, I can see how it would get you down.
41:04Well, we'll just have to think of ways of solving the problem, won't we?
41:07Chin up, Mary.
41:08You concentrate on getting better, okay?
41:10Yeah, sure.
41:11All right.
41:12I'll see you ladies later.
41:17God!
41:18Between him and Mrs. M, this place could get a bad reputation!
41:28God, you're vain, Sonia.
41:31Pays to take care of yourself.
41:33Wise words from the wicked?
41:35Come and see what the tooth fairy left.
41:37What?
41:38Went like a dream.
41:39You got the dope?
41:43Yep.
41:44And they sent the papers you read.
41:45Yeah, they must have already had some in stock.
41:47I hope no one's going to try and do me out of business before I've even started.
41:51And I've been a busy girl today.
41:53What do you think?
41:57Brenda, this is Brent.
41:58Yeah, no more cold cash for dope, my love.
42:00We'll just stamp out licences in exchange.
42:02What I wouldn't give to have a tenant like this?
42:04Oh, you will be.
42:06And all donations will be gratefully received.
42:09Now, show me your clever hiding place.
42:10Joan Ferguson.
42:26Yeah, that's right.
42:27I think we have some business to discuss, Miss Ferguson.
42:30I doubt that very much.
42:32Oh, I think you'll be very interested.
42:35It's a little matter of security.
42:36An investment for the future, if you like.
42:42What do you say?
42:43He used to give me roses
42:52I wish he could again
42:58But that was on the outside
43:03And things were different then
43:08On the inside
43:10The sun still shines
43:13And the rain falls down
43:18But the sun and rain are prisoners too
43:23When morning comes around
43:28Last night I dreamed we were together
43:33Sharing all the love
43:35Sharing all the love for the north
43:40Till I had to face the nightmare
43:44Of waking up alone
43:49On the inside the roses glow
43:52They don't mind the stony ground
43:58But the roses here are prisoners too
44:03When morning comes around
44:08But the roses here are prisoners too
44:11When morning comes around
44:12When morning comes around
