00:00What did you think of life in prison?
00:02Well, like everyone, I had certain preconceptions.
00:05I expected it to be a degrading, demoralizing experience.
00:09And I'm sorry to say, I was absolutely right.
00:11Your conditions inside were positively appalling.
00:14Yay, Helen!
00:15How did you find the other women?
00:17Equally appalling, I'm afraid.
00:19All I can say is, God help the decent citizens of this country,
00:22if that collection of killers, thieves, and perverts
00:25is ever let loose on society.
00:28I formed the impression that most of them actually enjoyed it in there.
00:32And no sooner are they released than they commit another crime,
00:35are caught, and sent straight back in again.
00:50She didn't say anything about my baby.
00:54No.
00:57No.
00:58No.
00:59No.
01:00No.
01:09No.
01:10Hi, Missy!
01:40Oh, come on, Lizzie. I've always been your friend. You know that. I gave you the compact,
02:02didn't I? Only when that woman did the dirty on you. I wasn't really sucked in. I was just
02:09playing along. It was all B's fault. Mrs Davidson wants to see us in her office. Oh, Lizzie.
02:25I can understand the way they feel. I mean, I got involved in her projects myself. Oh, sit
02:32down. Well, it seems Helen Masters has left us with a bit of a problem. How are the women
02:38this morning? Brooding. I think they're all feeling pretty much let down. Well, it's their
02:42own fault. They were stupid enough to think she could have changed things. It's not just
02:45the feeling of being let down. I think it's more a question of having let themselves be
02:49conned. Well, we can't let them simmer for too long. Has anyone any suggestions? Yes, we've
02:53got to find a way of keeping them busy. Give them something to think about apart from themselves.
02:58Well, how about more sport? I mean, I know we've used it before, but it does get rid of aggressions.
03:02It'd do more good if you just warned the ringleaders. Once they stop their sulking, well, the others
03:06will follow. I don't think that's the answer. But whatever we do, we have to stop these
03:10pent-up feelings from exploding. You and me won't fool, were we, Frankie?
03:20Nah. And they're meant to be the smart ones. We've got more brains than a lot of them put
03:24together. Yeah. Followed that Helen Sheila around like sheep. She promises them the world
03:30and she spits in their eye. They even forgot who their old friends were.
03:34Yeah, well, I always knew B. Smith was two cents short in the dollar, but little miss
03:38schoolteacher.
03:41Oh, well, you can have these too if you like, Frankie.
03:43Coming back home, are you? You're an idiot, Doreen. Can't you see she's just using this
03:47to get you on side? You're a bloody fool.
03:49I am not. You're the fool, B. Oh, well, you're the one who got us doing things for that woman
03:55and all the time she was just laughing at us.
03:58All right, so I was conned, weren't we all? I hadn't forced you to go along with her.
04:01And what about Lynn Warner? You all thought she was guilty and it took Helen Masters to
04:05get her off and then you all thought she was the ant's pants.
04:09So what? Warner might have been innocent at one thing, but what about being raped? They
04:12bet she led the bloke on, got everything she deserved.
04:14Since when have you started siding with the blokes? Your kid brother making you feel something
04:18for men?
04:19You shut your filthy mouth.
04:20Shut up. Shut up. Both of them.
04:22Well, yeah, I forgot we shouldn't talk about men in front of hot pants. Not since she lost
04:25a bloke.
04:25Oh, Marilyn's okay. She never hurt anyone.
04:41I'll finish this, love. Why don't you hop out for a bit? Do you good?
04:44Mum, I'm not going out.
04:47They'll forget about you soon, love.
04:49Oh, with this getting bigger every day? What if you stay cooped up here? They'll really think
04:53you've something to hide. Oh, let them. They're talking behind my back anyway. Pointing at
04:57me like I'm some kind of freak or dirty. Oh, I don't know why I came back. Well, if you
05:04can't turn to your father and me, who can you turn to? We love you.
05:10I know.
05:10There's someone outside said he's a friend of yours. Who? Oh, I don't know. Just said he's
05:34from Melbourne. Um, come in. Hi, Ellen. Doug. Oh. Oh. When Doug Parker says see you around,
05:47he means it. Right? Right.
05:49They only know I wrote to a boy in prison. I didn't tell them who it was. Doug, they'll
06:03hit the roof if they've found that you've been inside. So what do I tell them? I don't
06:08know. Make up something. Anything. And what'd they say about that? Oh, they're coming. They
06:15don't talk about it much. Mum made up some stupid story about my husband dying. How sad
06:21it is he didn't live to see his child. I think she's starting to believe it herself. Rape
06:26is something that happens to other girls. Oh, this is Doug Parker, Dad. Hello, Mr. Warner.
06:35Pleased to meet you. How you going, sir? Good. I'll make a cup of tea. Well, then. Take a seat.
06:39Thanks. So, you met my daughter in Melbourne, eh? Yeah, you might say we live next to each
06:46other. Doug lived close to the Bentleys. He used to deliver the meat. His brother's got
06:52a butcher shop, see, and I used to help him out now and then. You knew about Lyndon?
06:56Being inside. Oh, yeah, sure. I used to visit her. But I never doubted Truth Wood out.
07:03Well, how long are you staying in Riverton? Oh, I've just got a few days off work, Mrs.
07:08Warner. Just thought I'd pop in and see how Lynn was getting along. Well, it hasn't been
07:12easy for her. No, well, that's the trouble with the world. Even if you're innocent and
07:16been inside, they never let you forget it. Well, you got a place to stay while you're in
07:22town, son? Oh, I'm staying at the pub. Wouldn't think of letting you stay at the pub. Any
07:26friend of Lynn's is a friend of ours. We got a room. Oh, great. Thanks, Mr. Warner.
07:33Detective Lane. Oh, Miss Bennett. I was just told someone from consortium wanted to interview
07:47one of the girls. I wasn't expecting you. Yes, well, I was only put on the case last
07:52night. What can you tell me about Marilyn Mason? Oh, she's in and out of here for prostitution,
07:59porn movies, that sort of thing. Is she likely to give us any names in the people she work
08:03with? Oh, I doubt it. What type would she be? Pretty dumb, but she thinks she knows
08:11it all. Any weaknesses, you know? Yes, just one. Eddie Cook. Get out of it, Lizzie, it's
08:19mine. I want it. Oh, get your own piece. Give us it. Stop it, you rip it. I will if
08:24you don't give us. Let's be. Oh, get lost, Lizzie. Stay where you are, Lizzie. Go and
08:29ground something else for yourself. Why should she? It's just as much hers as it is Mason's.
08:32She can't even sew. I want to cut it up and make anything. You just leave. Why should
08:36today be different? Look, this is between them two. Why don't you just pull your head
08:39in? You want to try and make me? Doyle, you've got a visitor. Anyone wanting to see the doctor,
08:45line up outside his office in one minute. He wants to see you after sick call, can't he?
08:51Give our love to your brother, Frankie. Someone to see you, Mason. I wouldn't get too excited
08:59about it. It's a detective from consorting squad. Or did you think it was your boyfriend?
09:05I've got nothing to say to a cop. He'll soon make short work of you. Now get moving.
09:14Bitch. Okay. Who's got to see the doctor?
09:21How's it feel to be without a man, Mason? You should know Miss Bennet.
09:45Since when do you smoke? Used to sneak him in up at the home.
09:48I've just done your growth. Thought I saw Dad the other day. Wasn't him, but. Just some
09:56old drunk. At least I've got something in common.
10:01You ever think about Mum much, Frankie? No. I do. Well, sometimes. I wonder why she stay
10:08with him. Always getting drunk, bashing her up. Too scared to leave him. You weren't.
10:12You would have killed me if you hadn't taken me with you. Might have killed him first.
10:17Must have been a real drag bringing up a kid brother, eh? No.
10:21But I'll make it up to you. I swear. You just keep your nose clean. That's all.
10:26Frankie, I won't be able to come visit you for a while. I've got a job on a farm near Waller.
10:32Leaving today. It sounds great. I couldn't just pass it up.
10:36And I'll be able to learn all about farming and stuff. So when you get out, we'll be able
10:40to get our own little place. Won't be up to Melbourne for a month, though.
10:45A month's nothing. Do it on me. You're still staying out of trouble, aren't you?
10:48Said I would, didn't I?
10:51Time's up, Frankie.
10:59All right. Let you know how I'm getting.
11:02Nah. Got a better idea. I've got a mate.
11:05Well, you can drop in and visit you. Let you know what's happening, huh?
11:10Yeah, sure.
11:12Well, um, see you in a month, then.
11:20Well, Mr. Frankie.
11:22Yeah.
11:23You too, Gazza.
11:32Any chance of seeing the Governor, Mrs. Jackson?
11:33I'll organise it.
11:36Well, I don't know how much I've got on to me, but it must be a bit.
11:39I've been saving for two years.
11:41The money you don't spend in here is supposed to be held until your release.
11:44Yeah, but I want my brother to have it.
11:46I'm going to be stuck in here for years. He needs it now.
11:49Well, I'll see what I can do, but it is a regular.
11:51What's your brother's name and address?
11:53Gary Doyle.
11:54I don't know his proper address.
11:55Mate of his will let me have it.
11:56All right, leave it with me.
11:59Before you go, I'm aware there are certain tensions amongst the women.
12:04I was hoping that someone like yourself, for instance, may be able to stop things before they get out of hand.
12:09Can't it by they feel.
12:10Well, no, but I'm expecting you and some of the others to set a good example.
12:14You've been behaving yourself quite well lately.
12:16I'd hate to see anything happen to spoil that.
12:22Meg, have you spoken to Bea Smith yet?
12:24I will. I have to seek to parade.
12:26Fine.
12:28I just don't need to have any energy.
12:29For no reason.
12:31All I want to do is lie down all the time.
12:33When I do, I can't sleep.
12:35You've got to give me something to buck me up, Doc.
12:36There's nothing wrong with you, Bea.
12:38No pills.
12:39But I'm run down.
12:40It's all in your mind.
12:42Next.
12:43Quack.
12:47G'day, Doc.
12:48All right, Lizzie.
12:49What's the trouble?
12:50Oh, my hands have got to shakes.
12:52And I've got a taste in me mouth like the bottom of a birdcage.
12:56Nothing a good stiff drink wouldn't fix, right?
12:58Right, Doc.
12:59Out and drink plenty of water.
13:01Next.
13:02Oh, don't kill me.
13:07Don't tell me.
13:08You can't sleep when you need something to help you.
13:10Oh, how'd you guess?
13:12Look, Doreen.
13:12You can't sleep because you're not tired.
13:14And you're not tired because you're not doing enough to tire you out.
13:17So no pills.
13:18Just go and get some more exercise.
13:20But...
13:20Next.
13:21Oh, heck.
13:28Close the door.
13:28You only idea why the women are back on the pill parade?
13:35They're not sick.
13:36I've just got a few problems like boredom, feeling sorry for themselves, frustration, little things
13:41like that.
13:42Shouldn't you be telling the governor?
13:44Look, I thought you wanted to get in touch with the prisoners reform group.
13:47I've got the address.
13:48I changed my mind.
13:49Yes, and I know why.
13:51For the first time since you've been in here, you started to believe in someone.
13:54But as soon as she lets you down, you throw up your hands and start feeling sorry for yourself.
13:58You believed her too.
13:59Yes, of course.
13:59What she was doing was right.
14:01Giving the women back an interest in themselves.
14:03Some pride in their appearance.
14:05Oh, lay off, quick.
14:05Karen, you'd started to pull yourself together.
14:10Don't slip back now.
14:17Now, you'll tell me what I want to know if I have to come back every day.
14:23All right.
14:25We'll start at the beginning.
14:28Now, we know that you work for Freddie Best.
14:32And we know that he's been pushing drugs through the parlour.
14:34But like you, he's just a little fish.
14:37And we're more interested in pulling in the big ones.
14:41So who does Freddie answer to?
14:47What's Eddie Cook to you?
14:49Yes, he was your boyfriend, wasn't he?
14:50But he's not speaking to you now because he landed back inside.
14:54Now, do you reckon he'll change his mind?
14:57How would you like us to speak to him?
14:59You know, really fill him in about you and your friends.
15:02Oh, I'm sure there must be some things he doesn't know about.
15:05And I don't reckon he'll want you back after that.
15:08Pete.
15:21Well, not going to get through to her that way.
15:24Oh, look, that's the lunch break.
15:26You'll have to finish with Mason now.
15:27Oh, damn.
15:28I wanted to break this one quickly.
15:30Oh, look, I'm sure you won't have any trouble, Graham.
15:33You're some woman.
15:34You know that, Vera?
15:35I'm sure you didn't think that the other night.
15:38Oh, come on.
15:38Anyone working in a place like this needs to break down once in a while.
15:42Look, Vera, about our date tonight.
15:46Well, it's been a bit heavy at the office.
15:47You know, a lot of paperwork.
15:48Maybe we could make it another night.
15:49Hmm?
15:50Oh, look, there's no need.
15:51Why don't you come over to my place and relax and I'll cook?
15:56Okay.
15:58Look, there's a favor I'd like to ask.
16:00Of course.
16:01You're in here with Mason all the time.
16:03Maybe a bit of pressure and she'll come through in a few answers.
16:06Yeah.
16:08Well, nothing will give me greater pleasure.
16:10You were stupid not to help, Detective Lang Mason.
16:23You may only be in here for a month, but things can get pretty tough.
16:26Well, I guess I'll have to be careful then, won't I?
16:28Oh, yes.
16:29Because I'm going to be watching you very carefully.
16:37Things seems a little quieter than usual.
16:39I hadn't noticed.
16:40Come on, Bea.
16:41The women look up to you.
16:42Can't you do something?
16:43It's not my place.
16:44Look, I'm not asking for the staff.
16:46I'm concerned about the women.
16:49Oh, yeah.
16:50Yeah.
17:09Hey, Bea had been giving you a hard time.
17:14She doesn't frighten me.
17:15Listen, you keep clear of her.
17:17You're not tough enough to fight the screws, especially that one.
17:19Bea, what about doing some tea leaf readings?
17:22Yeah.
17:23Start with your own first.
17:25Then we see.
17:25It should go something like, your days are numbered.
17:28Best thing you can do is drop dead.
17:31I think that's funny, do you?
17:32Oh, just like I figured.
17:37It says keep clear of big, fat toads.
17:40They're trouble.
17:42Ah, but I see the big, fat toad's going to come a cropper.
17:44So make sure you know who your real friends are.
17:46Your attention, please.
17:48I've decided that due to the pleasant day outside, there will be no work this afternoon.
17:53Instead, there'll be a volleyball game for those who are interested.
17:56Those of you who still wish to work may still do so.
17:59But I'm hoping all of you will take part.
18:04What's going on?
18:05Well, you can thank me for that.
18:06Oh, what are you all about?
18:08Well, when I went to see Dr Miller, he said I needed more exercise.
18:12So then.
18:13So we all have to suffer.
18:14At least they're reacting.
18:18G'day, Doc.
18:20Mind if I do a little bit of work on your PowerPoint?
18:21No, go for your life.
18:22Stampede's over.
18:24Keep me busy, eh?
18:25There weren't too many women who stayed away from a sick call this morning.
18:28What, Marilyn see you too?
18:29No, she's one of the real ones these days.
18:31Not that I care.
18:34Sorry to see her back in here.
18:36How long have you been working here, Doc?
18:38Oh, four months.
18:40So you wouldn't know them any better than I do, then?
18:42Probably not.
18:43Do you reckon a lot of them end up back inside?
18:45Yeah, recidivists.
18:48What?
18:49It means the more often a woman is jailed, then the more likely she is to end up back inside
18:53after she's been released.
18:55You're not Irish, are you, Doc?
18:58Pommy bastard through and through.
19:00Yeah, well, you're not a bad bloke.
19:02For a pommy.
19:02But, you know, I reckon I'd understand it if I got out and didn't have anyone waiting
19:08for me, but...
19:10Well, Marilyn had me.
19:13Yeah, hard to figure, all right.
19:15I mean, she didn't give us a fair go.
19:17She was up and off before you knew it.
19:18I mean, sure, we had a blue and everything, but that wasn't enough to send her back on
19:21the game.
19:22Have you asked her away?
19:23Well, it's obvious, isn't it?
19:25I mean, she couldn't do without the money.
19:28All the excitement.
19:30But I'll tell you one thing.
19:32I don't reckon I'd have her back even if she begged me.
19:34Well, I'd never be able to trust her again, would I?
19:36Know what I mean?
19:37I mean, you can't have a good thing without that trust, can you?
19:42Well, what about you, Doc?
19:43You must do all right in the woman department.
19:44What's your answer?
19:46If I knew that, I'd be a very rich man.
19:48Yeah.
19:51Does that look okay, Mum?
19:53Well, now, who are going to be captains?
19:54Bea?
19:56Frankie?
19:56I'm not going to play this crap.
19:57You've just come to watch you make fools of yourselves.
19:59You take the other side, Mum.
20:01This idiot couldn't play volleyball anyway.
20:02Would you like to score then, Frankie?
20:05No.
20:05I think I'll teach the mouth a lesson.
20:08It should be worth watching.
20:09All bags going fast!
20:12Well, where's the three?
20:13Oh, that's a good guy!
20:16Oh, that's a good guy!
20:19Oh, not many of the women turned up for the money before.
20:22Some of them wanted to work.
20:23At least the ringleaders were involved.
20:25Authorisation for Frankie's money to be sent to her brother.
20:29$230.
20:30She hasn't exactly squandered her 50 cents a day.
20:32Well, Frankie has other ways of getting her extras.
20:35I wish her brother hadn't gone away so soon.
20:38He had quite a stabilising influence.
20:40She's kept herself clean so far.
20:43I think she'll be all right.
20:44Oh, yeah!
20:51Oh, beauty!
20:52Oh, no!
20:53Come on!
20:55Yeah!
20:55Come on, Frankie!
20:57You're not supposed to hold on to the ball.
20:58No.
20:59I'm changing the rules.
21:00If you don't want to play properly, get out!
21:04Oh!
21:04You big ox!
21:05I said I'm changing the rules.
21:09Oh!
21:11You did that deliberately, Mason.
21:12I'm sorry, Miss Bennet.
21:13It was meant for Frankie.
21:14You know what happens when you hit an officer?
21:16Two days in the pound.
21:17It wasn't Marilyn's fault.
21:18Blame Frankie.
21:18She started it.
21:19Do you want to join her in solitary?
21:21Get moving.
21:22No, Miss Bennet.
21:22I can't stand being locked in there.
21:24Any more lippin', I'll make it three days.
21:26There's another game.
21:31Two days in the pound and she'll be talking her head off.
22:00Yeah, it's made my job a whole lot easier, too, thanks to you.
22:03Well, there must be something I can do to repay you.
22:06I'm sure you'll think of something.
22:09You know, that was what I call a really good meal.
22:11You're a woman of many talents, you know that, Vera?
22:16Have you got anyone special tucked away, Graham?
22:19And why'd you ask that?
22:20Oh, a man like you, I can't see him being alone.
22:23Yes, well, you know, work keeps me too busy.
22:26Look, I didn't mean to pry.
22:27No, no, it's okay.
22:28It must be a difficult job.
22:32Yes, it would be easier if the department would let me do it my way,
22:35instead of all this pussyfooting around.
22:37Well, I mean, crims are animals.
22:39They don't deserve to be treated like human beings.
22:41Yes, well, I'll break Mason.
22:44You know, it's not often I find a woman who thinks like me.
22:46And, uh, I think I might have just thought of a way of saying thank you.
22:53They don't deserve to be treated like me.
23:23Eddie, what are you doing in here so early?
23:34The sooner I get this dump rewired, the sooner I can leave it for good.
23:37Marilyn's been in solitary for the past two days.
23:40So?
23:41Well, it wasn't her fault.
23:42It's got nothing to do with me anymore.
23:44Oh, come on, Eddie, don't try and be tough.
23:46You know how she hates being on her own.
23:48Yeah, well, that's what got her back inside in the first place, wasn't it?
23:51You may make me sick.
23:52You try doing a stint in here sometime and see how you like it.
24:02What's wrong?
24:03Oh, Frankie Dornan's brother's had an accident.
24:05I thought she might go berserk when she found out.
24:06Where is she?
24:07I've called her. She's on her way.
24:08What do you want me to do about it?
24:24Hello?
24:28Nothing.
24:28Sleep well?
24:52Perhaps now you'll learn to be a bit more cooperative.
24:55You can all drop dead.
24:57You'll change your mind after you've been in here a few more times.
25:00I'm never coming back in here.
25:02Then you'll have to learn to behave yourself, won't you?
25:12Gary.
25:15See?
25:16See?
25:20It...
25:21Stop.
25:27Two.
25:30Two.
25:33You.
25:39Damn it.
25:44But you must remember Lizzie.
25:46I mean, you must.
25:47Was she the tall blonde?
25:49Short, dark.
25:50Yeah, she was the one who, uh...
25:53Pull a nice face out of them.
25:54Yes, she was.
25:55Yeah, God.
25:56That was when we were digging those drains.
25:59I haven't read it.
26:00I found it when I was tidying your room.
26:02It's the first time you've ever lied to us, Lynn.
26:04I thought you'd send him away.
26:06But he's a criminal.
26:07Not anymore, Mrs. Warner.
26:08Mum, he's a friend.
26:09A friend?
26:10You've met him in prison.
26:11You don't know anything about him.
26:12I know enough.
26:12He's the only one who doesn't treat me like dirt.
26:14Don't talk to your mother like that, Lynn.
26:16Well, it's true.
26:18And if he goes, so do I.
26:22Didn't you say you had to get back to Melbourne?
26:24I've got nothing to go back to.
26:26And what about your brother's butcher shop?
26:28I don't have a family, Mrs. Warner.
26:34Well?
26:34Well, I'm going to be honest with you, son.
26:40Ethel and me have just got Lynn back as part of the family.
26:45I'm going to let you stay here.
26:47But only because we don't want to lose Lynn.
26:51Still, if you can prove to us you're a decent, hard-working young man,
26:56things could work out just fine.
27:00Ever drive a tractor?
27:02No.
27:03You'll learn soon enough.
27:04Thanks, Dad.
27:11Oh, Dad's all right.
27:13I mean, once you get to know him, you'll like him.
27:17Lynn, I had enough of people telling me what to do when I was inside.
27:20But if you don't know anything about farming, you've got to learn.
27:24Yeah.
27:25I still don't reckon I'll make a farmer, though.
27:28Oh, yes, you will.
27:29I bet you could do anything you wanted to.
27:31Isn't it lovely just to be able to walk without a screw staring over your shoulder?
27:38Yeah, well, at least your old man's not that bad.
27:40Strip Jack naked's about the easiest game there is.
27:43You'll pick it up.
27:43If I've got a strip, I'm not playing.
27:46Oh, Lizzie, I saw you naked in the shower once.
27:48That was enough.
27:49Oh, now look.
27:51Pick up your cards, and I'll show you how to play.
27:54Don't look at them.
27:55Now, if I put down an ace, well, then you have to put down four cards.
28:00And a king's worth three, a queen's worth one, and, no, a queen's worth two, and a jack's worth one.
28:07Now, if I put down an ace, then you have to put down four cards.
28:12Listen, I don't know what's going on between you and Vera, but keep away from them, my love.
28:15She's out to get me, Bea.
28:16Well, why?
28:18Well, the blokes have been using the parlours to push drugs.
28:20The cops want to bust it open, so they want me to give them names.
28:23Well, why not tell them, then?
28:24Since when have you wanted to help the cops?
28:26Anyone pushing drugs should be put inside for life, you included.
28:29I've never been into drugs, Bea, you know that.
28:31Makes no difference.
28:34Oh, you one.
28:35Hey, Doreen.
28:36What's wrong with your eye?
28:49I've got something in it, so I can't read.
28:51Doc put some drops in.
28:52What's it say?
28:57Well, come on, what's it say?
28:59Who's it from, for God's sake?
29:03Bloody eye.
29:06Uh, it's from someone called Barton.
29:09Must be the bloke Gaz is working for.
29:11Says something about him, doesn't it?
29:13Yeah.
29:14Well, come on.
29:16Is he doing all right?
29:17Is he okay?
29:19Yeah.
29:20Says he's working real hard, and he's doing real great in his job.
29:26Why did the boss send a telegram about something like that?
29:29Oh, I don't know, do I?
29:31Maybe Gaz had told him, because he couldn't get time off work.
29:35Yeah.
29:37When he was a kid, it was me did all the way, and now it's him.
29:40Yeah.
29:41See ya.
29:44Oh, come on, Doreen!
29:46Bea, but you've got to help me.
29:48It's Frankie.
29:48Ah, get lost, Doreen.
29:50You're the one that want to go back to and look after your own problems.
29:52Mason?
29:53You've got nothing better to do.
29:55I've got a little chore for you.
29:56Yeah.
30:03Now, that wasn't so difficult, was it?
30:05Bea, it's Frankie's brother.
30:08He's hurt real bad, and she doesn't know.
30:10What do you mean, she doesn't know?
30:11Oh, well, she got this telegram, and she had something in her eye, and I don't know.
30:14Well, she made me read it to her, and I didn't tell her the truth, because she would have killed me.
30:18You know what she's like.
30:19She goes out of her mind.
30:20I had to lie.
30:21Well, you calmed down.
30:22What was in the telegram?
30:23Oh, well, something about him being in the James Hospital and being critical, and she had to get in touch urgent.
30:29Well, she's got to be told, Doreen.
30:31Yeah, no one deserves that.
30:32She'll kill me.
30:33Yeah, well, she'll read it sooner or later.
30:35Then she'll really kill you.
30:36I can't.
30:37Look, I'll come with you.
30:38Maybe it'll help.
30:38But she must be told.
30:40Now, come on.
30:40Come on.
30:41Frankie?
30:52What?
30:54Doreen told me that you received a telegram.
30:58You can't keep your trap shut for two seconds, can you?
31:02Oh, I didn't mean to.
31:04Yeah, well, my eyes are better now.
31:05I read it for myself.
31:07Last time I asked you to do anything.
31:09You read it?
31:11Yeah?
31:13Well, why don't you mind your own business?
31:16Go on, leave me alone.
31:18Go on, get out!
31:20Out!
31:31But I can't understand it.
31:33She was upset, but it was more angry.
31:35Not as if she was shocked or sad.
31:37Yeah, and she read it and everything.
31:38Oh, that figure's always said she was as hard as nails.
31:40But it seems so strange.
31:42Remember when you destroyed the house plan her brother gave her?
31:44She went berserk.
31:45Well, that was just her temper.
31:46Oh, no, no.
31:47There's more to it than that.
31:48Her brother's the one person she cares anything about.
31:51Something's wrong.
31:52I don't know what...
31:53What are you all staring at, huh?
32:05Frankie, I think I should read you that telegram.
32:11Now, it's nothing to be ashamed of.
32:14What do you want to know?
32:15A lot of people can't read.
32:16You bloody want to shut up!
32:17You know what was in that telegram, Frankie?
32:20Your brother's been hurt.
32:22Very badly.
32:23It's critical.
32:25It's critical.
32:32No.

32:36You are...
32:38You are...
32:43You are...
32:49You are...

43:09praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
43:15the all-merciful Father
43:18the God whose consolation never fails us
43:21he comforts us in all our troubles
43:24so that we in turn may be able to comfort others in any trouble of theirs
43:28and to share with them
43:30the consolation we ourselves receive from God
43:33as Christ's cup of suffering overflows
43:38and we suffer with it
43:41so also in Christ
43:43our consolation overflows
43:46if distress be our lot
43:49it is the price we pay
43:51for your consolation
43:52for your salvation
43:54if our lot be consolation
