00:00I just thought you'd be interested.
00:02What if he's not the innocent he used to be?
00:04Meaning?
00:05I'm the take, like the rest of them.
00:10You and all your big talk.
00:11We only want to make this dump bearable.
00:14You've been fed and clothed and paid to work all at the state's expense.
00:17Now if you don't like it, you shouldn't have broken the rules in the first place.
00:23Who do you think you are?
00:25I shouldn't have had to do it at all.
00:27That's the governor's job.
00:29Apparently that's the way it's going to be.
00:32Anne gets the kudos and the salary and I do all the dirty work.
00:34Well, she's got another thing coming.
00:36Hey, what is this?
00:38Look, either she is fit enough to do this job, and that means all of it, or she can
00:43find herself another whipping boy.
00:45I've had Anne the bloody job, and the sooner she knows about it, the better.
01:00Can I come in?
01:06Be my guest.
01:08Don't expect me to apologize.
01:10Oh, I just thought you and I should have a little talk.
01:13Take the best chair.
01:15I expect you're here to slap my wrist.
01:18No, no, no.
01:19I just came to remind you that the women here have feelings, that's all.
01:22Oh, look, I'm sorry I upset them, but I'm not about to be used by anyone.
01:25Well, you're the one that wanted to be one of us.
01:27So?
01:28You're off to a bad start.
01:29Look, they're behaving like a bunch of kids.
01:32Oh, well, can you blame them for that?
01:34You've got to stop and look at the people you're dealing with, Camilla.
01:37Most of those women never had a fair chance in life.
01:40They went from bad families to bad marriages.
01:43Do you know that this place is the only security they've ever known?
01:46Now, they would like it to be better if it could be.
01:48You can't blame them for that.
01:50I keep hearing that argument and it stinks.
01:52Now, hang about.
01:53Look, I hassled, hustled my way up the ladder to where I am now.
01:57I don't get the benefits you talked about either, but I am not like the women in here.
02:01I just don't believe that they tried hard enough.
02:03Oh, they tried all right.
02:05But they didn't have your looks, did they?
02:06They didn't have your brains.
02:08Can you imagine someone like Cass getting a scholarship to university?
02:10Now, that's an exception.
02:11Oh, well, then what about Phyllis?
02:13What about Babs?
02:14What about Jacko?
02:15All right, all right, point taken.
02:17Be fair, Camilla.
02:19There are a lot of born losers in this place.
02:21The last thing they want is someone like you with everything, treating them like dirt.
02:26I didn't treat them like dirt.
02:28I liked them.
02:29I showed them that, didn't I?
02:30From your own protected little world, maybe.
02:33Now, if you want to come in here and get some dirt for your radio program, do that.
02:36You do that.
02:37But don't try and be friends with us.
02:39We may be a bit short on brains, but we're not stupid.
02:48I'm sorry.
02:50Did it look that way?
02:51I'm afraid it did.
02:54There are some nice people here.
02:56You try and understand that, and you'll find out.
03:01And will they give me another chance?
03:05Try us.
03:14Could I get you one, Mick?
03:15Oh, thank you, Stanley. Yes, white with one.
03:17Good.
03:18Is there any news on Pixie Mason?
03:20I still can't believe she'd do this.
03:22I still can't believe she'd do a thing like that.
03:25There must be some sort of sensible explanation.
03:28Sensible? Pixie?
03:31Yes, I suppose that is her own word.
03:34Oh, thank you, Stanley.
03:36Won't you join us?
03:37You know, I thought I'd sort out the piano rolls, make sure everything's ready.
03:41That's right. It's the official opening of your glee club this afternoon, right?
03:44Good luck.
03:45Yes, I'm looking forward to it.
03:47I just hope the women appreciate it.
03:49Oh, don't worry. They're very enthusiastic.
03:51I'd better get to it.
03:54Oh, I hope he's not disappointed.
03:56The women don't often stick at anything.
03:59Oh, you're being a bit pessimistic, aren't you?
04:01Do you think so?
04:03Just have a look at Wally's pottery classes.
04:05Well, if we don't give them a chance, they'll never succeed at anything, will they?
04:09I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt.
04:14Oh, and by the way, have you heard the good news?
04:19The department have decided to withdraw my resignation.
04:23Oh.
04:24Congratulations.
04:25Thank you both.
04:27Nice to be part of the team again.
04:34Well, I've had it. What about you, mate? Ready to hit the road?
04:36Oh, no worries. I'm buggered.
04:38Aren't you going to stay the night?
04:40Alice, you can stay the night.
04:41Yeah, well, I'm not Alice.
04:43I mean, I hope you don't mind, but I've got a family to look after.
04:46Well, Alan could stay.
04:47He'd make sure he didn't get lonely.
04:50Sorry.
04:51Oh, well, I guess I can look after it for tonight.
04:56Can we call you if things get desperate?
04:58For the house or for you?
05:00Oh, party people.
05:01Anyone want a drink?
05:02No, not for us. And not for you.
05:07Now, the no-booze rule sticks.
05:09I thought I told you to chuck it all out.
05:11Oh, I just kept one bottle.
05:14It's a social occasion.
05:16Alan, get rid of it, will you?
05:18Where'd you put it?
05:19Come on, OK?
05:20Don't be too long, love. I want to get home for Kay.
05:22She's probably gone straight to Dad's.
05:24You coming?
05:26In a minute.
05:29Stop worrying, Mum. She'll be OK.
05:32Stop worrying? Oh, come off it, love. I've got to worry.
05:35My daughter hates me.
05:36No, she doesn't.
05:38You know what it's like.
05:39She's just trying to prove she's old enough to make up her own mind.
05:42Got it all worked out, have we?
05:44I'm a smart-ass, just like my Mum.
05:47Oh, no!
05:49Jenny found a bottle of booze.
05:50Don't tell me.
05:51She drank it all. Now she's thrown up all over the land here.
05:53Get the mop.
05:54That's what I'm doing.
05:55You lousy, thieving bitch!
05:58I hope you die thieving!
06:01Come on, mate. I think we're on overtime.
06:04Oh, that was better than usual. It usually makes me want to chunder.
06:07Oh, what's going on about? Phyllis is always good, Tucker.
06:09You'd be in stewed garbage with good Tucker, Cass.
06:12Shut up, fellas.
06:14I thought it was quite good, too.
06:15Well, you're full of it anyway.
06:17Oh, now cut it out. Give her a chance.
06:19Why, she gave us her.
06:21All right, all right.
06:23I blew it. I'm sorry.
06:26What do you expect me to do, crawl?
06:28It wouldn't be a bad start.
06:30Well, forget it. I'm not playing any of your games.
06:34God, it's unreal, isn't it? You just look on the radio.
06:36What did you expect?
06:37Anyway, you're the one that called her Bucket Mayor, Blanca.
06:39Oh, shut up.
06:41Look, all I can offer you is a lot of publicity when I get out of this place.
06:45Take it or leave it.
06:47I'll take it, eh, girls?
06:50All right, ladies, gather round.
06:52First meeting of the Wentworth Glee Club.
06:54Oh, why, count me out.
06:56Who asked you anyway, huh?
06:57Oh, here you are, Mr. Dobson.
06:59Thank you. Oh, I really love singing.
07:01But please don't, Cass.
07:03No, thank you, Mr. Dobson.
07:05I can think of other ways of amusing myself.
07:07What are you on about, Sonia?
07:09I used to sing. I used to sing in church.
07:11Yeah, I used to work behind one.
07:13Funny, so did I.
07:15Yeah, you need a better class of people.
07:16Right, let's get started now.
07:18Has everyone got a song sheet?
07:20Oh, Bobby.
07:21Oh, get lost, singing's boring.
07:24Cass, will you pedal for us?
07:26Oh, sure thing, Mr. Dobson.
07:27Right, number one on the sheet.
07:32Silent night, holy night
07:37Oh, someone call in Dr. Cass Sproul!
07:40Shut up, stupid. She's doing her best.
07:42Oh, how would you know? I suppose you're an expert, are you?
07:44Yeah, well, I'm more a fan than you are.
07:47Holy infant, so tender and mild
07:52Sleep in heavenly peace
07:56Heavenly peace
07:58Sleep in heavenly peace
08:04Look at that, a kickin' harmoni!
08:06Yeah!
08:17Can't get any smell out of your clothes.
08:19Who was that on the phone? Kate?
08:21No, help, set the table, will you please?
08:23No, it was Meg Morris.
08:25She's coming round after tea.
08:26Oh, good. How is she?
08:28Oh, fine, I think. I didn't get much of a chance to talk to her.
08:30Hi.
08:31Hi.
08:34G'day, Brett. Where have you been?
08:36I went around to see Dad.
08:38Oh, how is he? All right?
08:40I suppose so.
08:46Butter some bread, will you, Alan?
08:49Bit heavy on the war pain, aren't you, love?
08:51So what?
08:52Nothing, I just don't think it suits you, that's all.
08:54Well, I do.
08:55Can't you be a bit nicer?
08:57Can't she be?
08:58She doesn't want me to have a good time at Dad and Gloria's.
09:01She hates them, Alan.
09:02She wants me to hate them too.
09:04But I don't. I like them. They're great.
09:07Fine, fine. Now just help with the tea, will you?
09:10How come it's so late?
09:12We were called over to Driscoll House.
09:15Lucky I didn't come home then.
09:16Nobody would have been here as usual.
09:18Oh, that's not true, Kate, and you know it.
09:20It is so.
09:21You're always at that bloody PRG place and now it's Driscoll House as well.
09:25Don't swear.
09:26Hey, just shut up and help, all right?
09:27It's always me, isn't it?
09:29I'm not allowed to be late.
09:30I'm not allowed to wear make-up.
09:32No wonder Dad couldn't stand her.
09:34No wonder he went off and found someone who was fun.
09:36Kate!
09:37I'll do what I like. I'm old enough.
09:38While you're living in this house, young lady, you'll do what I tell you.
09:41Well, I won't be living here for long then.
09:55You're going to stay with the glue club?
09:57Glue club, it's a stupid bloody name anyway.
09:59No, I wouldn't be seen dead in it.
10:02Pity, because...
10:04Oh, well, never mind.
10:13Phyllis will be pleased.
10:15She said you wouldn't last.
10:18Too bloody bad.
10:21Yes, you're right.
10:22Doesn't matter.
10:25I hear Reb's got a very good voice.
10:29You're joking.
10:30You're not using that stupid bitch, are you?
10:32We have to, dear.
10:33We need every good singer we can get.
10:36What with poor Cass's voice, what it is.
10:39It's not too good, is it?
10:43I suppose I could help out for a while.
10:55How do you know my husband's on the take?
10:57You know his mate, Fred Mears?
10:59Yes.
11:00I used to live with him.
11:02God, he was a bad bugger, even for a copper.
11:04You got bad taste, so what?
11:06Suit yourself.
11:08If Fred knew which side he spread his bread was buttered,
11:10he'd have a long time to work that out.
11:13Yeah, stupid bastard.
11:14Could have had a good thing going if he'd only realised that sooner.
11:17It's the way the cookie crumbles, sweetheart.
11:19Well, I hope he gets caught.
11:21It's because he turned you down.
11:22Mind your own business.
11:23The whole world knows about it.
11:26Hello, captain, ladies.
11:28Sleep well?
11:29Good night.
11:34I wonder what happened to him.
11:36Who?
11:37Rick Manning.
11:38Do you know him?
11:39Well, of course you would.
11:40He's a friend of Eddie's, and you know everybody.
11:43I'm glad I moved in with you.
11:46That's touching.
11:48I suppose being a screw's better than being dead.
11:50Not much, though.
11:51What do you mean, dead?
11:53Dead, dead.
11:54Like when rigor mortis sets in.
11:56Boring old story.
11:58His fiancée got killed in that bank job, Barney Greg Simple.
12:01Anyway, Fred and his Birmingham got a bit clumsy.
12:04And good old Rick found out they were on the tape.
12:07Trouble is, he couldn't prove it.
12:09Well, what'd he do?
12:11What could he do?
12:12Backed off and got out of the fire.
12:14Well, what'd he do?
12:15What could he do?
12:17Backed off and got out of the force.
12:19Good thing he did, too.
12:20That would have killed him.
12:22Did he know that?
12:23Who knows?
12:24Stupid, that Rick Manning.
12:26Living in the dark ages.
12:27Trying to be a pure cop.
12:29They don't exist anymore.
12:41Get your food, Stephens.
12:42You'll be late for mustard.
12:43But I've got to talk to you.
12:44You heard me.
12:47Hey, look at this.
12:52You're all right, Camilla.
12:53You can stay.
12:54Well, I was thinking of checking out.
12:56But if you insist.
13:03I gather you don't have scrambled eggs every morning.
13:06No beer, porridge, grey death if you wish to get that.
13:09No wonder Phyllis was so pleased with me.
13:11Forget Phyllis.
13:12I'm so pleased with you.
13:14Can I ask you something?
13:15Yes, of course, dear.
13:17Judy and Cass, are they really in for murder?
13:21Well, are they?
13:24Judy did kill a close friend, it's true.
13:27But she was dying of a brain tumour.
13:30And she begged Judy to end it for her.
13:33Exactly.
13:35And Cass?
13:36All you need know about Cass is that she's the most gentlest person on earth.
13:41Hey, shut up, you little puss.
13:43Judy.
13:45Tell you what, Camilla.
13:46It's real good having you here.
13:48I wish you'd have scrambled eggs every morning.
13:50It's nice to be at home.
13:51Yes, Pete, I've had it ages too.
13:53It's hard enough finding somewhere to sleep,
13:54little I'm worrying about what I might find to eat.
13:56Well, can you go to a half warehouse or something?
13:58You know, like Driscoll.
13:59Driscoll? What's Driscoll?
14:00It's a refuge for women.
14:01For people just like yourself.
14:03I used to run one on the outside.
14:04Never heard of the place.
14:05Well, isn't that typical?
14:07The people who ought to know about it aren't informed.
14:10I get a feeling they will be.
14:12You're damn right.
14:13That's one thing I can do for all of you.
14:14Hey, listen, I'll put you on to Myra Desmond.
14:16She's running the place at the moment, I hope.
14:18Hey, Camilla, can you really do that?
14:20Tell people what you think about halfway houses and stuff?
14:23Yes, I can.
14:27Hey, hey, Bobby.
14:28Hey, you was wrong about Camilla.
14:30She's not a bucket mouth at all.
14:31She's terrific.
14:36Excuse me, madam.
14:37Mainline News.
14:38Are you with the department?
14:39I'm sorry, no comment.
14:41Are you an officer here?
14:42How's Camilla Wells getting on?
14:44Does she wear a uniform like the other women?
14:47Does she share a cell or is she on her own?
14:49I'm sorry, Governor, but the boom gate isn't operating.
14:52I've just rung the maintenance.
14:54Governor, how do you know?
14:55I'm not a boom gate.
14:56I'm not a boom gate.
14:57I'm not a boom gate.
14:58I'm not a boom gate.
14:59I'm not a boom gate.
15:00I'm not a boom gate.
15:01I'm not a boom gate.
15:02I'm not a boom gate.
15:03I'm not a boom gate.
15:04Governor, how do the other women react to this dressing?
15:06No comment.
15:07Mr. Davis, would you get me out of here, please?
15:09All right, let Mrs. Reynolds through, please.
15:10Governor, could we...
15:11No, listen, leave her alone.
15:12She's just out of hospital.
15:13Can we see her, Governor?
15:15Is she getting special treatment?
15:17Miss Wells has settled in.
15:18She's mixing with the other women and we don't expect any trouble.
15:21What about special treatment?
15:23All the women in Wentworth get the same treatment.
15:25Mr. Davis.
15:28Sorry, Mrs. Reynolds.
15:35I suppose I should have realized it would happen, though.
15:37Well, you know how they think.
15:39Is there something we can do to stop them?
15:41I doubt it.
15:42They want a story.
15:43I imagine they'll stay until they get it.
15:45I wouldn't their place.
15:47Well, I have one suggestion, if the minister allows it.
15:51Would you write a statement we could give to them?
15:53Of course I could.
15:56I don't think it'll work, though.
15:58They might think I didn't write it.
16:01You're a trusting little bunch, aren't you?
16:04There is one thing that could work.
16:07Hold a press conference.
16:09What?
16:10If I answered all their questions and told them that was it until I was released,
16:15they might play ball.
16:17At least they'd know I wasn't being coerced.
16:21This is your Camilla Wells program.
16:24I'm standing in for the next two weeks for obvious reasons.
16:27Hey, what's that?
16:28A brief.
16:29Is that Camilla's program?
16:30Yeah, shut up so we can hear.
16:33Now, if you've just tuned in, the question this morning is,
16:36do you think it right a person can be sent to jail for non-payment of parking fines?
16:41He's not very good, is he?
16:43What do you expect? He's only the bloody stand-in.
16:45Shut up, Rita.
16:46Hear what he has to say.
16:49Was she right to stand up to the bureaucracy?
16:51Yeah.
16:52Should she be in prison?
16:53Should many of the other people there be in prison?
16:55Well, that's right about some of us, isn't it?
16:57Shut up!
16:58Tell us more about that.
16:59What's going on?
17:00In the meantime.
17:02OK, Mitchell.
17:04Hand it over.
17:06Look after it till you've finished working.
17:09Where's Stephens?
17:10In your boot.
17:11Did you say something, Hunt?
17:12She's gone to the dunny.
17:14Why can't we have the radio on while we're working?
17:16You'll get the radio back when you've finished work, Maguire.
17:19Get on with it, ladies.
17:28Maguire, you're now on a charge.
17:31Before was an accident, you know it was.
17:33Watch it or you'll go to the pound.
17:34Hey, watch it yourself.
17:35Look, I'm sick of you. I'm sick of this place.
17:37I shouldn't even be here.
17:39What do you do after the pound? Firing squad?
17:43All right.
17:44I have tried to be fair with you lot.
17:47Obviously, it's not working.
17:50Come along, Maguire.
17:51Maguire, move it!
17:53Get out of here!
17:55Shut your mouth and get out!
17:58Well, girls, the freak's back.
18:05Oh, Mr Manning, I've got to talk to you.
18:08Look, I've told you I don't want anything to do with you.
18:11Joan Ferguson wants to kill me.
18:14Well, I imagine a lot of people do.
18:16Doesn't mean they're going to.
18:18And I don't believe Joan Ferguson will either.
18:21What if I had something you wanted?
18:24Would you listen then?
18:26Don't insult me, Stephens.
18:28But I have some information.
18:30Good.
18:31Pill it somewhere else.
18:33Les Birmingham and Fred Mears.
18:40Go on.
18:41Oh, no.
18:42Not until we make a deal.
18:45What do you want?
18:47Protection from Ferguson while I'm in here.
18:51And in exchange?
18:52Oh, enough information to wipe out those two.
18:55The same way they're prepared to wipe you out permanently.
19:01All right, give.
19:03Well, let's start with Eddie.
19:05He's in with them right up to his neck.
19:07Eddie?
19:08Yes, good, clean Eddie.
19:09He's on the take.
19:10You know, you are one vicious bitch, Stephens.
19:13What's the matter? Can't you take the truth?
19:15Look, he's a mate of Les and Fred's and he's on the fellow's payroll.
19:18And you know something?
19:19He wouldn't raise a finger to stop them killing you.
19:22Eddie, wake up to yourself.
19:24He's as rotten as the rest of them.
19:29See how you feel after 24 hours in here.
19:31I'm sorry, Miss Ferguson.
19:33I lost my temper, that's all.
19:34It's the Irish in me.
19:35I didn't mean anything by it.
19:37Hey, you should have thought of that before.
19:39Please, I'm apologising to you.
19:41It's too late.
19:42Pressing charges against you, Maguire, for assault.
19:44What?
19:45You heard me, Maguire.
19:46But look, Miss Ferguson, I'm not a criminal.
19:48I don't understand how you people work.
19:51I told you I didn't mean anything by it.
19:53I'm not used to being told what to do by someone.
19:55Well, the way you're going, you'll have plenty of time to learn, won't you?
20:00Years.
20:02You're enjoying this, aren't you?
20:04You're bloody enjoying it, you sadistic bitch.
20:06You wouldn't make an enemy of me if I were you, Maguire.
20:08It's a dangerous practice.
20:10But I didn't hit you, you know I didn't.
20:12Tell it to the VJ.
20:15You wanted to get me into trouble just so you could show off your power.
20:18Can't get in any other way, huh?
20:23Go on.
20:24Go on, hit me.
20:26Well?
20:27Scared?
20:28Okay.
20:29I'll make it easy for you.
20:37I'll get you for this, Maguire.
20:41I'm going to get you, Ferguson!
20:52Yeah, okay, Eddie, I'll see you there at eight then.
20:55Right on.
20:57Can I help you?
20:58Got an order to deliver.
20:59I've got to go.
21:00I've got to go.
21:01I've got to go.
21:02I've got to go.
21:03I've got to go.
21:04I've got to go.
21:05Got an order to deliver.
21:06Delivery bay's out the back.
21:07Yeah, I know, but I've got to get the invoice signed first.
21:09Oh, see you, Mrs Powell.
21:12What sort of goods?
21:13Um, one billiard table, a snooker set and four queues.
21:17A billiard table?
21:18Yeah.
21:19Some mistake.
21:20Your order number's right there on the invoice.
21:21Don't you lot even know what you order?
21:24Come on, love, we've got work to do.
21:25Do we unload it or do we take it back?
21:28Unload it.
21:32I'll find out why it's here.
21:36The department ordered it.
21:38I'm sorry.
21:39I meant to tell you.
21:40But I knew nothing about it.
21:42And according to the date on the invoice,
21:44that order went through while I was acting governor.
21:46Yes, I know.
21:47Erica Davidson ordered it.
21:49Apparently, Stanley Dobson suggested it,
21:51and she thought it was a good idea.
21:53Well, I don't.
21:54Look, can't you see how dangerous it could be?
21:56The queues could be used as weapons,
21:58and God knows I'd hate to have a snooker ball thrown at me.
22:01Look, almost anything can be used as a weapon.
22:04Colleen, you know that.
22:05I do think you're overreacting a little bit.
22:07Oh, oh, really?
22:09Look, if I'd known about it while I was in the job,
22:12I would never have allowed it.
22:14Security concerns me, that's all.
22:17Are you sure that's all?
22:19Look, Colleen, I know my coming back has been a shock to you,
22:21but I am back, and I'd like you to accept that
22:23I cannot work with a deputy governor who's pulling against me.
22:26Beg your pardon?
22:27What are you suggesting?
22:29I'm just saying that we need to work in harmony.
22:33So please forgive me for being so tactless in the way I returned,
22:37and let's get on with the chop.
22:47Hey, what have we got here?
22:48Wow! A pool table! Fantastic!
22:51She's talking about the table.
22:52She's right. Reckon these two could teach us a few games.
22:56Something else to impress me, do you think?
22:57Yeah, probably.
22:58We did have a ping-pong table once, but it got all smashed up in a brawl.
23:01Oh, charming.
23:02Hey, I reckon we ought to kick the fellas and send the table back.
23:04What do you lot reckon?
23:06Settle down, girls.
23:08We don't mind. Do we, Pete?
23:09No worries.
23:10Hey, anyone want to go in the pool?
23:12Oh, no. Snook is the game, Jude.
23:14You don't know any Charlton, do you?
23:15I've had dinner with him.
23:16Yeah? Did he teach you how to play?
23:18The girl does ask personal questions.
23:20You know what I mean, you dirty little bugger.
23:22Look out, the beach is back.
23:24Been some trouble?
23:25Yeah, Rebecca Keane's the name.
23:28Feeling better?
23:29Okay.
23:30All right, give me that.
23:32Just get out of the pound, eh?
23:33What's it to you?
23:34Now, don't give me any trouble, Rebecca.
23:35I haven't forgotten what you did to Bobby.
23:37She had it coming.
23:38Like hell she did.
23:39Now, you stay out of trouble.
23:42Heard your little Irish mate getting shoved in the pound.
23:45Sounded like she didn't like it.
23:49Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
23:52Here we go again.
23:53You just remember we're going to have a ball.
23:55Here we go again.
23:56You just remember what I said.
24:01You got any bread?
24:03Shall I?
24:05I reckon I could make a nice little packet if I had some of the steak.
24:09I need ten bucks to start with.
24:11What have you got in mind?
24:14You get the bread.
24:15I'll show you.
24:18I thought you wanted a packet.
24:21All right, I'll get it.
24:26Oh, now, sure you can't hang around and teach us a few things, boy?
24:30I reckon we could teach you nothing.
24:31It'll be fun to find out, huh?
24:34That's a great voice you've got there, Cass.
24:37You ought to rent it out as a vlog.
24:39Stan has started a singing group and Cass is part of it.
24:41Do you want to join?
24:42I don't want to be a mutt in that old bus.
24:44Well then, buzz out of it and don't interfere with anyone who's in it.
24:50Care for a game?
24:51Particular about who I play with?
24:53Pretty good, of course, if you're not gay.
24:56I'm gay.
24:57Why don't we make it interesting? How about a little bit?
25:00No, big a little bit.
25:02Ten bucks.
25:05Of course, if you're worried about doing your dough.
25:10You're on. Set them up.
25:19At least the phones have stopped ringing.
25:20Yes, well now that Mrs Reynolds has organised that press conference,
25:23things should quieten down quite a bit.
25:25I hope I can get the women out into the garden tomorrow.
25:32You going out?
25:33No, going home.
25:35I missed my rostered afternoon off when I was acting governor,
25:38so I've decided to make it today.
25:40Shouldn't you wait until next week when Anne's been back a bit longer?
25:44No, thank you.
25:46I'm just taking the time off that's due to me now.
25:49Bye.
26:04Got the backyard cleaned up a bit.
26:06Thanks, mate.
26:07I wish you'd go back to work, though. I don't want you to lose your job.
26:10No way. The place couldn't run without me.
26:15What's wrong?
26:17I just rang Kay's school.
26:19Well, to give them this number in case of an emergency.
26:22She hasn't been at school all week.
26:25I don't understand.
26:26Well, I do.
26:27You know where she's been, don't you?
26:29With your father and that bitch.
26:32Doesn't he care about her schooling?
26:34It's a long time since he's given a damn about anything to do with us.
26:38I don't know, Alan.
26:40Maybe it is my fault.
26:42Come on, Mum.
26:43But, Mum, don't start blaming yourself again.
26:46No, no. Perhaps what Kay said last night's true.
26:49I have given an awful lot of my time to the PRG.
26:53What else can I do?
26:55I've got to work for a living and it's something I really believe in.
26:57Of course it is.
26:59Oh, I'm going to have to go and talk to Bill.
27:02I'll go with you.
27:03No, thanks, mate.
27:04The last thing I need is for one of you to start throwing punches.
27:06No, I'll go on my own.
27:08Try and talk some sense into him.
27:10When's that selfish bastard ever had any sense?
27:12Just tell him to leave Kay alone.
27:14None of us need him.
27:15Kay thinks she does.
27:17They're obviously giving her something that I can't.
27:20Just filling her head with a lot of garbage.
27:24Keep an eye on this place for an hour or two, will you, love?
27:27Oh, and watch yourself when Kathy gets back.
27:30She fancies you.
27:32Reckon I know how to handle her.
27:34That's what worries me.
27:38Oh, come on. I did me ten bucks cold.
27:40If you want to lay bets, you better start practicing.
27:43Yeah, well, just give me a chance to win me dough back, eh?
27:45I was out of luck.
27:46Out of luck?
27:47Or out of talent.
27:48You weren't all that hot.
27:49Way out of your league, sister.
27:51Why don't you pick on somebody else?
27:53How about Judy?
27:54Oh, no way. She plays p...
27:56Hey, what's going on here?
27:58You two trying to set me up?
28:00Believe me, sister, you don't need setting up.
28:03Pay up or shut up.
28:04Are you going to play me again or not?
28:07I'll play you, rep.
28:08You? You wouldn't know one end of a cue from another, would you?
28:11Oh, yes, I would.
28:13My Uncle Edward taught me to play when I was just a nipper.
28:15Play as well as you sing, do you?
28:16Yeah.
28:18Just about.
28:19Cass, I don't think you should play for money, love.
28:22Just have a friendly game.
28:23I don't reckon you're good enough to play for dough, Cass.
28:25Oh, I don't mind a bet.
28:27Ten bucks, wasn't it?
28:28Yeah, that's right.
28:29You're on.
28:34Don't you think Cass can beat her?
28:36She couldn't be any worse than Renny.
28:37Well, I don't know.
28:38She's not exactly poetry in motion, is she?
28:40Yeah, she'll get done like a dinner.
28:42Wells, Governor wants to see you.
28:44I think I'm about to meet the press.
28:46Remember, the name of the game is screw the screws.
28:48You leave it to me.
28:50Hello, Wells.
28:58Well, girls, let's hope she makes them sit up and take notice, huh?
29:02No worries, she will.
29:04Your colleagues from the press are being shown to the staff room at the moment.
29:07I had hoped they'd be able to interview me in my cell.
29:11Miss Wells, you must understand that this is being done on our terms.
29:16You'll be allowed to speak to the reporters for ten minutes, that's all.
29:20The department's not happy about this, but there seems to be no alternative.
29:24No.
29:25They do seem to be in a bit of a corner, don't they?
29:28This conference is to solve problems, not create new ones.
29:33You mean I'm not to say anything to embarrass the department?
29:37Don't even worry, I shall be the sole of discretion.
29:40In any case, I have no complaints about my treatment.
29:44All right, then.
29:46You should be ready by now.
29:48Here I come.
29:51What do you want?
29:53I want to see Bill.
29:54I bet you do.
29:55Well, he doesn't want to see you.
29:57Oh, listen, Gloria, it's about Kay, it's important.
30:00Who is it, dove?
30:03What are you doing, door-to-door collection for your little prisoners?
30:06I've got to talk to you, Bill.
30:07Oh, bugger off, I'm busy.
30:09God, you never stop, do you?
30:11Trying to make up for everything you missed out on with her, huh?
30:13Listen, Bill, if you give two hoots about your daughter, you'll listen to what I've got to say.
30:17Go ahead, talk.
30:18Gloria stays.
30:20I've no secrets from her.
30:24Look, I know Kay's been missing a lot of school lately, and I know she's been coming around here.
30:27Yeah, so?
30:28Oh, come on, Bill, she's not going to get anywhere unless she finishes her schooling.
30:32Now, look, I'm...
30:34I'm prepared to let her come and live with you if you promise me that you'll make her go to school.
30:38Live here?
30:40You've got to be kidding.
30:41Forget it, she's not coming here.
30:44But she thinks...
30:47Is she in there now?
30:48No, she's off with her boyfriend.
30:50Boyfriend? What boyfriend?
30:51Oh, I don't know, some bloke, didn't tell you, did she?
30:54Knew what you'd be like.
30:55Where is she now?
30:56Who cares?
30:57Listen, if you don't want her at home, tell her to go shack up with her boyfriend.
31:01He'd be a starter.
31:02Listen, you bitch!
31:03Don't start, Myra.
31:04Lay off, Bill.
31:05You're no good for her, I don't want her around either of you.
31:07Yeah, well you tell her to stop coming around here.
31:21But how are they really treating you, Camilla?
31:24Sorry to disappoint you, Darryl.
31:26But they haven't thrown me into solitary or put me on bread and water, if that's what you mean.
31:29Quite disappointing, really.
31:31In other words, you're getting treated very well.
31:33In other words, I'm being treated like everyone else.
31:36No special favours.
31:37Not that I've accepted.
31:39You mean they were prepared to make concessions for you?
31:41I made it plain that that wasn't what I wanted.
31:45You've met the other prisoners?
31:46Yes.
31:47What's your impression of them?
31:49They've got guts.
31:51Some of them are quite soft, really.
31:52I wasn't expecting that.
31:53Have they got you working?
31:55Yes.
31:56This will make your day in the laundry.
31:59And to think I never do my own washing when I'm at home.
32:02What's the food like, Camilla?
32:04You always were something of a gourmet.
32:07It's not bad.
32:09Well, I was quite surprised.
32:11So were the other women, as a matter of fact.
32:14They say the meals are usually abysmal.
32:18Do you think you're seeing prison life as it is?
32:20Or are you being misled?
32:21There's no way you can gloss over these women.
32:23They're very, very real.
32:25How do you mean?
32:27I mean that some of them are nice people who haven't had a fair go.
32:32But they still have the courage to battle on and I admire that.
32:37Do you think you'll get anything out of the experience?
32:40I already have.
32:42More understanding, more compassion.
32:45What about on a more practical level?
32:47Good old practical Darryl.
32:49Yes, well, I'm gathering material for a story, even a documentary.
32:54There's a lot that needs to be said about a place like this and the people in it.
32:58Not just the prisoners, but the bureaucracy involved.
33:02You mean you found some corruption amongst the officers?
33:07I promised Mrs. Reynolds that I wouldn't embarrass the department.
33:11I think we ought to change the line of questioning.
33:13I'm afraid your time is up, ladies and gentlemen.
33:16Would you be able to answer a few questions, Mrs. Reynolds?
33:19Sorry, I suggest you contact the minister directly if you want a statement.
33:24The only statement he ever makes is no comment.
33:26Then I'm afraid I'd have to follow his example.
33:29Now you've had a chance to interview, Miss Wells.
33:32I hope you'll be as good as your word and leave Wentworth alone.
33:35We'd like to be able to get in and out of the place without feeling as though we're under siege.
33:39I bet you're not the only ones who'd like to get out.
33:42I'll take you through to reception.
33:45Daryl, what do you know about Maureen McGuire?
33:48The cat? You've met her?
33:50Yes, sir. Says she's innocent. Yes or no?
33:52Could be. There's something going on there, but it hasn't been released to us.
33:55You may go back now, Wells.
33:57But I just want to speak for a moment.
33:59Sorry.
34:01Well, you are a prisoner after all, Camilla.
34:03See you, darling.
34:10Night, Gail.
34:12Night, Meg.
34:14You get an early night.
34:16I will.
34:18I'm going to see Paul on the way home.
34:21How is he?
34:23Coming along fairly well.
34:25Well, you're coming along fairly well, too,
34:27considering that you must have been under an awful strain.
34:29Yes, well, at least things are easing up in here.
34:31No more reporters hanging round the gates.
34:33Yeah, Rick said the press conference went really well on the whole.
34:35Oh, I don't know about that. We'll have to wait and see what they print.
34:38Meg, is there something bothering Colleen outside here, I mean?
34:42Well, it's a bit awkward, really.
34:44Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.
34:46I just hope she's not going to do anything she'll regret, that's all.
34:49Well, she didn't resign or anything like that.
34:51I'm sure it'll be all right.
34:53I hope so.
34:55All right, Meg, I'll see you tomorrow.
34:57Okay.
34:59Oh, damn, I almost forgot.
35:01We won't be seeing Joan Ferguson for a couple of days.
35:03Her father's sick. She's going to visit him.
35:05Oh, I hope he's all right.
35:07Did you say what was wrong?
35:09No, I just hope it hasn't got anything to do with the Rebecca Keane business.
35:12She's had enough trouble.
35:14All is the king of Israel
35:20Very good, ladies.
35:22A few more rehearsals, we should be able to tackle more difficult pieces.
35:25Oh, come on, you don't think we'll ever be able to sing in public, do you?
35:28I don't see why not. If we practice.
35:30Well, I thought that was very good.
35:32Do you know, I think I could do a story on your choir.
35:34Oh, because you'd have to regress from the Christmas carol.
35:37You reckon we might get a mention on the radio?
35:39Maybe.
35:41Well, thank you for your time, ladies. We'll continue tomorrow evening.
35:43Sure you won't join us, Rebecca?
35:46Her name's Reb, and no I'll don't.
35:48Good evening.
35:50Good night.
35:52Good night, Mr. Dobson.
35:54I wish you'd lay off, Mr. Dobson.
35:56Why don't you put your money where your mouth is, all right? It's a game.
35:58Oh, I'll put up with ten bucks.
36:00Twenty would make it more interesting, how about it?
36:02The way you play, Reb, I suggest you stick to ten.
36:05You want to put a bet on your mate, or are you just making a noise?
36:08Oh, no, you're on. A dollar a head, huh?
36:10Me too.
36:12How about the rest of you? Anyone else got the guts?
36:14Well, what do you say, girls? A dollar a head?
36:16Yeah, why not?
36:18The thing is, Reb, that will soon you play.
36:20All right, you're all on.
36:28She should be a bit worried. She's just taken on a lot of bets.
36:31Yeah, I know. I smell a rat too.
36:32I think maybe it's a set-up. Maybe she's hustling.
36:34I think you're right.
36:38Be my guest. New break.
36:40Oh, thanks, Reb.
36:42I love breaking.
36:45I hope she doesn't hook the queue through the cloth.
37:02Pink in the side pocket of the cushion.
37:23So you don't reckon there's any truth in it, huh?
37:25No way, Eddie. Jane's a tough lady.
37:28Bloody tough. A killer? No.
37:31Then what's Sonia up to?
37:33Who knows? I'm surprised you even bothered going to see her.
37:37She reckoned it was urgent.
37:39She still gets to you?
37:42Yeah, I want my head ripped, don't I?
37:44Yeah, Reb.
37:47How the hell did she get involved in the rackets in the first place?
37:53Sometimes you get sucked into these things. Easy money.
37:57Who knows?
37:59Come on, mate. People aren't apples. They don't just suddenly go bad.
38:03No, but things can happen.
38:05Sometimes you get swept along with the tide.
38:08No point trying to swim against it.
38:12Pretty savage on the amber, Stefan.
38:17Well, I've got a few things on my mind.
38:19Well, look, I'd better get going.
38:21Something on?
38:23Yeah, I have to meet someone.
38:24Yeah, I have to meet someone.
38:26A bit of business.
38:28Well, it's been good seeing you.
38:30Have to do it again, eh?
38:32Yeah, sure.
38:34I've got to go.
38:36I'll be in touch.
38:38Right.
38:49You'll be able to do it, love.
38:51Course you will. You play terrific, Cass.
38:52That's pretty good, too.
38:54Yeah, so we noticed.
38:56Why didn't you tell us how good you are?
38:58Speed.
39:00Yeah, you also told us you could sing well.
39:02Another joke, Jude?
39:04Yeah, just concentrate on the game, OK?
39:05OK.
39:20OK, in you go, let her have it.
39:30Geez, it's neck and neck.
39:32Not if she pots those two balls, it's not.
39:33That's the truth, I'm not looking.
39:35Hey!
39:37OK, Cass, one more to go.
39:54You were spying on me.
39:56I was trying to find out why you haven't been at school for the past week.
39:59Now I know.
40:01Off with some boy.
40:03I just know the trouble you're going to end up in.
40:05Oh, terrific.
40:07Trust you to think the worst.
40:09Well, you can't blame her, Kay.
40:11Not after the way you've been lying to us.
40:13Only because Mum will never let me have any fun.
40:15I'm sick to death of being treated like a kid.
40:17All right, all right.
40:19Let's talk about this instead of shouting.
40:25Look, Kay, if I'm strict with you,
40:27it's because I don't want you to make the same mistakes that I did.
40:30I'm not a criminal.
40:32I've done everything in my power
40:34to make up for what you kids went through when I was in prison.
40:39You think your father wants you?
40:41Well, I've got news for you.
40:43He and Gloria laughed in my face
40:45when I suggested you moving in with them.
40:47I don't believe you.
40:49You go round and tell them you want to move in and see what they say.
40:51Next week I'm 16 and I can live where I like.
40:53If I don't live with them, I'll move in with my boyfriend.
40:55You'll do nothing of the sort.
40:57I will!
40:59I'll live my life the way I want to without you interfering.
41:01I'm sorry.
41:31I'm sorry.
42:01I'm sorry.
42:31I'm sorry.
43:01I'm sorry.
43:32See you.
43:36Now!
43:41Can I finish him off?
43:43Yeah, don't be an idiot.
43:45A gunshot's the last thing we need.
43:47That's Rick Manning, isn't it?
43:49An old friend of yours, Eddie.
43:51He's got a gun.
43:53He's got a gun.
43:55He's got a gun.
43:57He's got a gun.
43:59He's got a gun.
44:01What do you think we should do with him?
44:03That crusher will be going in the morning.
44:06Just tie him up, throw him in the back seat and throw some rubbish over him.
44:09Yeah, good one.
44:11Let somebody else do the work.
44:31No!
