00:01You little beauty, Lizzie.
00:06Come on, Lizzie.
00:12Go.
00:15Go, ma'am.
00:17Come on, you next, Lizzie.
00:19Come on, Lizzie.
00:21Come on, come on.
00:24Get a little more, Lizzie.
00:26Come on, get that leg out.
00:30Come on.
00:31Come on.
00:32Come on.
00:36Come.
01:00Oh, come on, you old croc.
01:01Lizzie.
01:02She's faking.
01:03No, she isn't.
01:04What do we do?
01:05Leave her.
01:06We can't.
01:07What do you want to do?
01:08Do you want to take her back?
01:09Sure, we'll get a bloody taxi.
01:10Take her back.
01:11Make sure she's nice and safe.
01:12Then break out all over again.
01:13Got you as dumb as you look, Doreen.
01:14We just can't leave her here.
01:15Oh, no.
01:16Alright.
01:17Come on, really, come on.
01:19Come on, Lizzie.
01:20Come on, come on.
01:21You!
01:22Come on, Lizzie.
01:23Come on, Lizzie.
01:24Come on.
01:26Come on, Lizzie.
01:28Come on, come on.
01:29What are you doing out there?
01:31Trying to get in...
01:33Oh, can I take her back?
01:34Sure, she's nice and safe and break out all over again.
01:37God, you're as dumb as you look, Doreen.
01:39they go. What are you doing out there? Trying to get in. What do you think? Oh, come on.
01:50I've got to see the doctor. What are you trying to do? Kill me or something?
01:56I don't think she'll be all right. I'll call, Kastra. Thanks, Frankie. Do you think I'll leave
02:11her? What do you take me for? I know. Anyway, guess what? What? We did it. We're out.
02:20It's a bloody bird's glove. Come on, girls. Move it along. Move it along. Have a look
02:28at the screws, will you? They'd like to line us up against the wall. Where do you shut
02:32up and come to get into your cells? Your own cells, you understand? Oh, Vinnie Cadets
02:36is really mad. I heard that. The next one to speak goes to Solitry. And that includes
02:41you two. You had no reason to do that, Miss Bennett. We'll see about that, Mum.
02:50We're going to get our dinner or not. You should have thought of that before. Is this
02:56going to stop anyone's parole? You knew about this escape, didn't you, Mason? Escape? Not
03:01me. Still don't know what's going on. Oh, and I thought you'd got smart. You just take
03:07it easy. Once we've got them all in their cells, we'll do a head cut. Oh, no. Well, we've
03:10got to find out exactly who's missing. Looks like Dawn and Anderson for sure. Weren't they
03:14with you? Yes, there was a brawl in the wrecked room and a... Spontaneous, of course. Like
03:19the fire in the shower block and the food fight in the kitchens? Well, one way or another,
03:23these bitches had every officer in the place tied up. Just calm down. Look, if two morons
03:27like that pair can get out of here, we might as well give up. You ladies are going to lock
03:31us away or not. You don't want us wandering off, do you?
03:35You ran this place.
03:39She's going to burst a blood vessel. You want to watch your mouth, Marilyn. Why? I love
03:44stirring that vinegar tits up. I guess they must have got away. Isn't that great? Oh,
03:50bloody fantastic. Can you imagine how far they're going to get? And don't change the
03:54subject. I'm warning you, be polite. Otherwise, you're going to end up here a lot longer. Well,
04:00you're always making smart cracks to the screws. Yeah, well, I haven't got anything to lose,
04:03have I? Why are they getting so upset? They still get paid at the end of the week. But that's
04:07not the point. One of us escapes, and they look bloody stupid. So don't upset them, especially
04:11Vera. You think she'd try and stop my release? How should I know? Well, she owes me. Nothing.
04:18Oh, I'll catch up with them in a few days. You think? I hope so. I just see Doreen's chances
04:26with that fat cow, Frankie. And Lizzie, she'd be lucky if she lives to the end of the row with
04:31that heart of hers. Well, I always thought that Frankie was sort of fond of Doreen. Oh, yeah.
04:36like a snake's fond of a chicken. Pass it on! Lizzie's back! There you are, you see? Dead or alive,
04:46I wonder. Thank you, sister. Have we got some more of that? Yes, doctor. Well, that should help a bit,
04:57Lizzie. Now, I suppose you're expecting some sympathy. I wouldn't go astray. What happened to
05:04your bedside manner? Apart from trying to kill yourself, you tricked me this morning, resting in
05:09the garden. It wasn't difficult to lead you up the garden path, if you know what I mean. Oh, you're a good
05:16lad. And your heart's in the right place. I wish mine was. It feels as though it's come adrift. What
05:24do you expect if you go climbing fences? You do your job and I'll do mine. Like in the war. I was
05:33watching this film on telly the other week. All these pommies in a prison camp, all arguing about
05:39how they were trying to escape. Said it was their duty. Led the screws a merry day. Lizzie, that was
05:46different. Dr. Miller, I have some questions for your patient, if that's all right. Yes, go ahead.
05:54Well, Lizzie, you didn't get very far. I got out. If it hadn't been for me, I'd have been... What? I take
06:01it Frankie Doyle is the brains behind the Enterprise. Well, it was all in it together. Well, in that case,
06:07you can tell me the whole story. To begin with, where are they now? I don't know. Could be anyway.
06:15I am not in the mood for games. There must have been some talk of a destination, some hiding place.
06:23What if there was? You will tell me where Anderson and Doyle are heading.
06:27Mm-hmm. Were they to be met, some outside accomplice?
06:32I'm not saying. I cannot understand this loyalty to two women who left you to die.
06:40They did not. They brought me right back here to the gates. Say what?
06:46You heard. Mrs Davidson.
06:48Yeah, tell her I'm not to get excited, Doc. Tell her I got a bad heart.
06:53I think all you're going to get out of her tonight is name rank and serial number.
06:57I am not in the mood for your humour, Doctor.
07:00I got him on the hop, Doc.
07:14Quit the clowning, Doreen. Try to be aimed like somebody normal.
07:24I've never been on the run before.
07:26Well, you are now.
07:27Oh, you're hurting me.
07:29I'll keep moving.
07:43Stupid Maul, what do you think you're doing?
07:44She might have recognised this.
07:45She wouldn't know it's from Adam.
07:47But you're behaving like some mad thing.
07:49I'm sorry.
07:51All right, you tell me what to do and I'll do it.
07:53Too right, you bloody will.
07:54You get us shopped and I'll have your guts for Gartas, Doreen.
07:57Now get this through your thick head.
07:59I'm never going back there.
08:01Never.
08:10Keeping your heart at it, are they?
08:12I've just been treating two women with rather severe burns.
08:15Oh, there's a lot of careless types around here.
08:17There was a fire in the shower block.
08:19You wouldn't know anything about that, I suppose.
08:21When was this?
08:22No, I thought not.
08:23Not a bad effort, though.
08:26Frankie makes up her mind in the morning and now, now she's God knows where.
08:32You don't know.
08:34I told Mrs Davidson.
08:37Look, you know Frankie, she's a desperate woman.
08:42She has to be.
08:43Making up her mind on the spur of the moment when something upsets her.
08:48Nowhere to go, always on the run.
08:51I can't say I fancy it myself.
08:55Even if my old heart hadn't played up, I think I'd have still come back.
09:00I'm afraid you've lost me.
09:02You realise, apart from anything else, you've completely ruined your chances of parole.
09:05Well, that's a relief.
09:06That's a relief.
09:08Well, where could I go?
09:10Look what happened to Mum.
09:12No one wants to know.
09:15I've got a brother stashed away somewhere, but we kind of lost touch.
09:20So you were just fooling around this afternoon?
09:22Yeah.
09:24Well, you get kind of bored in here.
09:28The old ticker's not too good, is it, Doc?
09:31Well, if you're careful.
09:33Oh, you can tell me.
09:36I know I'm living on borrowed time.
09:39But if I've got to go, I want to go where my friends are and they're all here in the clink.
09:45Do you like to get some sleep now?
09:52Well, if Lizzie's back, that leaves only Doyle and Anderson missing.
10:00That's a wonder.
10:01Things are so slack around here, half of them could have walked out.
10:03But they didn't.
10:04Only because they haven't got the brains or the nerve.
10:07From now on, security's got to be doubled as far as I'm concerned.
10:10Well, it's not up to you, is it, Miss Bennet?
10:12Just because two of the girls escaped, there's no reason for you to overreact.
10:15I'm not overreacting, but I can just imagine what the papers will say about this.
10:19Thank you for reminding me.
10:21No member of staff will make any unauthorised statements to the press.
10:24Understand?
10:25The women are wondering if they're still going to get their evening meal.
10:28Oh, come on.
10:29I see no reason why not.
10:30But they will return to their cells directly after dinner.
10:33Lights out will be at 2100.
10:35Come in.
10:38Well?
10:39Lizzie's been talking to me.
10:41She claims that Frankie and Doreen had no particular plan of action.
10:45I gather, although she may be lying, that they have no destination and no one meeting them.
10:49They're on their own.
10:50She's probably telling the truth.
10:52Although it would be better if someone were helping them.
10:54At least it would give us something to go on.
10:57Dr. Miller, did Lizzie give any hint as to why they decided to escape?
11:02Lizzie claims to have been bored.
11:03Well, there's very little any of us can do this evening.
11:08I suggest a...
11:09Governor's office.
11:13A reporter.
11:15Yes, very well.
11:16Put him on.
11:16That'll be all.
11:18Yes.
11:19Speaking.
11:20Two prisoners, yes.
11:24One returned of her own free will.
11:26That's right.
11:28Our security measures are not the point.
11:32We are not running a zoo, sir.
11:34Frida Joan Doyle and Doreen Anderson.
11:42The police have full descriptions.
11:45This still isn't too good.
11:46No, but she woke up a while ago and said she'd like some egg custard.
11:51The old witch.
11:53Will you keep an eye on her?
11:54If you need me during the night, you know where to find me.
11:56Yes, doctor.
11:56And the custard?
11:58Well, if you can get some without too much trouble.
12:00Right.
12:01How is she?
12:05She'll be all right, I think.
12:06Gave her more of a scare than anything.
12:09Look at her.
12:10You wouldn't think she'd killed anyone, would you?
12:12Yes.
12:13Now, don't let her fool you.
12:15She's a sly old devil.
12:16One of the worst in the place.
12:17Yeah, I suppose so.
12:18I'm just not case-hardened yet.
12:20What do you mean?
12:21Well, nothing.
12:22Just an apology for being naive.
12:23I'm sorry.
12:24Oh, that's all right.
12:25It's been a long day.
12:26I should have been home ages ago.
12:28Well, could I give you a lift, perhaps?
12:29Would you?
12:30Yes, of course.
12:30No trouble.
12:31Thanks.
12:32Marty's been sitting there for hours.
12:40Well, I think Vera's a very lonely sort of a person.
12:44She had this rather nasty detective hanging around for a while, but he seems to have shied
12:48off.
12:50Marty!
12:51I'm home!
12:56Marty!
12:58Oh, really, Greg, the way he just announces it.
13:02Mum, not home tonight, staying with friends loved Marty.
13:05Oh, what's the use?
13:06It'd be all right, wouldn't it?
13:07Oh, I suppose so.
13:08Tonight, I thought we could have a talk.
13:10I had dinner prepared and...
13:11It is late.
13:12Maybe he got sick of waiting.
13:13Oh, yes, it's late.
13:13It's always late.
13:14There's always something.
13:15I hardly ever see him anymore.
13:16You need a holiday, Meg.
13:18Oh, I know, I know.
13:19I need a new job or a new personality or something.
13:21Look, you said you got a meal prepared.
13:24Would you mind if I invited myself to stay?
13:25I could go and get a bottle of wine.
13:27Why, of course, yes.
13:29Please do.
13:30You do need that holiday, you know.
13:32Well, I can hardly see any of us getting any leave at the moment,
13:34not with those two still out on the run.
13:36Yeah.
13:37Well, go and get the wine and I'll put the casserole on.
13:55Not over there.
13:56Too many people.
13:58Oh, I can smell somebody's dinner.
14:01Oh, it's steak and chips.
14:04OK, you win.
14:05Got any money?
14:06No.
14:06No?
14:07Well, you didn't say.
14:09How much you got?
14:10Bought a bloody cracker.
14:11Oh, no.
14:12Go through your pockets.
14:13Oh.
14:14No.
14:16Haven't even got the tram for you back to the pokey.
14:20Oh, they're under us.
14:22Sure.
14:25All right, settle down.
14:26We're not the only ones they want.
14:28Yeah, but they want us the most.
14:30I'm so hungry.
14:31Well, what am I supposed to do?
14:33Well, you're so smart.
14:36OK.
14:38Follow me.
14:39Hey, you.
15:01Spunk.
15:04Me?
15:04I've been waiting for you behind this bush.
15:08You look my type.
15:11Yeah?
15:12Come on, don't muck around.
15:14You like what you see?
15:16It's all waiting for you.
15:18You're a good door in real good.
15:34Get some.
15:35Hey.
15:44Hey, come on.
15:45Hey, come on, go.
15:46Hey, come on.
15:51You eres M olds, em up.
15:53Hey, come on, yeah.
15:53Hey, come on.
15:54Come on.
15:55Come on, eventually.
15:56In here, you've got to be joking.
16:22Hotels are all booked, sorry.
16:24But there's rats and it stinks.
16:29What's that noise?
16:31Ten minutes and you won't even notice.
16:34Can't we go somewhere else?
16:38Maybe it's got ghosts or something.
16:42Anyway, I don't like it.
16:44Look, Doreen, either shut up or shove off.
16:46I've got a belly for you.
16:52All right.
16:55I'm going.
16:59Might as well turn myself in.
17:02Ta-da.
17:04I can't get out of here on me own.
17:06It's too dark.
17:08You'll have to take me.
17:10No.
17:12Well, I'll go in the morning then.
17:15Suit yourself.
17:16As soon as it's light.
17:19You'll see.
17:21Yeah, sure.
17:22Miss Bennet.
17:33What?
17:34Can you tell me how long this extra security will go on?
17:36Not long enough.
17:38You see, I usually water my garden up.
17:39It's the prison garden.
17:41Of course it is.
17:42Of course.
17:43But the plants.
17:44I couldn't care less.
17:45But I'm responsible for it.
17:47Responsible?
17:50Responsible?
17:50You were out there today, weren't you?
17:52You saw the whole thing.
17:54You must have stood there twiddling your thumbs while I went over the wire.
17:57No.
17:58I was out there.
17:59I won't deny it.
18:00But I saw nothing.
18:00You don't fool me with your garden and your little cups of tea.
18:04You were in on it.
18:06And an accessory.
18:08You've no proof of that.
18:10You saw them as plain as day.
18:12You must have.
18:12And you did nothing about it.
18:14Well, you'll see the governor in the morning.
18:17Think about it.
18:20It's going to be different tomorrow, Frankie.
18:22Sure.
18:23I'll think of something.
18:25I know you will.
18:27Yeah.
18:28Maybe we could eat one of them rats for breakfast.
18:30Oh, jeez.
18:31Are you some kind of pervert or something?
18:33Don't be depressed, Frankie.
18:38I'm not bloody depressed.
18:40You were pretty sweet on that Karen Travers, weren't you?
18:44Bloody little snob.
18:45Talking down to me.
18:47Doing me favours.
18:48Yeah.
18:50She wasn't your type.
18:52You want to stick to your own sort.
18:54Do I?
18:55Yeah.
18:57I've only got one left.
19:00You want half?
19:01Oh, yeah.
19:02Thanks.
19:03You know, this place reminds me of when I was a kid.
19:21I don't know why.
19:23Maybe it's the smell.
19:26You know, my dad worked at a racecourse,
19:27cleaning out the stables and stuff.
19:30He was a weird bloke.
19:32Real gentle with horses.
19:37But with me, jeez.
19:40You know, you couldn't open your mouth round our place.
19:44One word and he'd clout you.
19:48He'd go right off.
19:50You would have seen him, Frankie.
19:52His eyes would stick out.
19:53He'd breathe all funny through his mouth.
19:55Anyway, when he got like that, I'd run and go into the racecourse and hide under the grandstand.
20:01And I'd wait there.
20:03And I'd wait there, frightened sick.
20:07And then he'd come looking for you, eh?
20:10No.
20:12No, he never came.
20:13I suppose he had it tough, bringing up a girl on his own.
20:28See, Mum piffed often when I was little.
20:34She wasn't like him, though.
20:36She was a real lady.
20:40Always smelled good.
20:41I remember that real clear.
20:48Of course, it didn't lay a finger on her.
20:54She had this real soft voice.
20:57She used to say to him,
20:58If you hit that girl again, John, you'll be very, very sorry.
21:05And she'd go out.
21:08And he'd hit me anyway.
21:09The Prime Minister with one of the largest entourages on record will return to Australia on Friday.
21:28This is his second overseas tour this year.
21:31Police predict a swift recapture of the two women who escaped from the Wentworth detention centre this afternoon.
21:36The women climbed a fence in the prison garden during a disturbance.
21:41Embarrassed prison authorities say they have no idea where the women might be heading.
21:45Police describe the women, Freda Joan Doyle and Doreen Anderson, as violent and dangerous and warned that they may be...
21:55Anderson for breaking and entering.
21:58Opposition backbenchers have already demanded an inquiry into the escape and security measures at the prison.
22:03In sport, Fitzroy selectors say there may be some changes in this week's line-up.
22:11Well, they've gone.
22:13Mm-hmm.
22:14Something wrong?
22:16No.
22:17No, everything's terrific.
22:19Just, I was looking for some music on the radio and I heard the news.
22:23It just made me feel a bit funny, that's all.
22:26The news?
22:26We don't want the news.
22:28Well, not tonight.
22:30As long as I'm with you, lovey, that's all the news I want.
22:33No, Dad, let me tell you.
22:35Please.
22:36I don't want to know.
22:38Go on.
22:40All right, go on here, bust them to tell me.
22:42Well, what they say was that...
22:44That, uh, that World War III started.
22:46No, somebody's giving away money?
22:49No, it had to be something big.
22:51Jesus is coming back.
22:52Oh, Doug.
22:54All right, all right, I give up.
22:56Well, two of the girls I was in prison with escaped this afternoon.
23:00Well, good on them.
23:01How'd they manage that?
23:02No, one of them, Frankie, she was terrible, Doug.
23:05Makes me scared just thinking of her.
23:08Well, no one's making you.
23:09Think about me instead, hmm?
23:11I mean, I am your, uh, your legal husband, wife.
23:17Feels weird, I'll tell you.
23:19But I like it.
23:21Yeah, I really like it.
23:22And here we are in our little honeymoon cottage.
23:26Now, you should have heard Sue's putting the screws on burn today.
23:30Oh, burn.
23:31Let them have the house just, just for one night, their own little home.
23:35Real romantic.
23:37And we'll go down to that big flash motel.
23:40It'll be such a treat for Linny.
23:43Well, I'm glad she did it.
23:45She was right.
23:46We're, we're really alone for the first time ever.
23:48No waiters, no people staring at us.
23:51Just you and me.
23:53No mum and dad, no screws.
23:56I love you, Linny.
23:59I love you too.
24:02Oh, we're going to be happy, aren't we?
24:04Just watch us.
24:06Oh, we're married now?
24:09Yep, sure are.
24:14Do you, do you want to go to bed?
24:18Eh.
24:20Will you carry me?
24:22Eh?
24:24Huh?
24:25Oh, decapital?
24:26Oh, sure.
24:28Oh, thank you.
24:29Oh, thank you.
24:30Oh, I'm so nervous.
24:31Well, you sort of, we're not that long.
24:33But you're so nervous.
24:33Oh, I'm so nervous.
24:36What are you doing?
24:53Well, what do you reckon?
24:54All those wires and things.
24:57You must be that clever.
24:59Oh, I get by.
25:00Hey, listen, I've changed a few things around here.
25:02How would you like me to show you how to blow this one?
25:04Eddie, I'm getting out of here soon.
25:06Oh, yeah.
25:07Must have slipped my mind.
25:08You'd like me to stay in here, wouldn't you?
25:10Keep you out of mischief.
25:11Don't be mean.
25:13No, no.
25:14Of course I want you out.
25:16Sure?
25:16Sure, I'm sure.
25:17Give me a kiss, then.
25:22Oh, Eddie.
25:23I miss you at night.
25:25Yeah?
25:26You miss me, too?
25:28Oh, a bit.
25:31Bea's been talking to me about the future.
25:33Yeah, she goes on a bit the old Bea, don't she?
25:35She thinks we ought to get married this time.
25:38What do you reckon?
25:38Well, I wasn't the one that said no last time, was I?
25:42I mean, you're the one that's been holding us back.
25:44Well, I didn't know what I'd be getting myself into.
25:48Yeah, well, I've had a few ideas about the future.
25:51Thought about starting something on me own, for instance.
25:54Just something small, you know.
25:55Don't know.
25:56Do you think you could?
25:57Well, why not?
25:58Of course I'd have to have someone to help me, you know.
26:00Someone to take the orders, answer the phone, do the books, that sort of thing.
26:03That could be me.
26:04I could do that.
26:05Well, are you up on that sort of thing?
26:07I could learn.
26:08I'm not that dumb.
26:09No, no, of course you're not.
26:10But, I mean, would you want to?
26:12It'd be hard work.
26:13Better than cleaning floors.
26:15Anyway, as long as I'm with you.
26:17Yeah.
26:18Just think of it, eh?
26:19The two of us.
26:20A little business ticking away.
26:21Yeah.
26:22And I'd be good this time.
26:23Promise I would.
26:24Yeah.
26:25And I'd do my bit as well.
26:29Stop that at once!
26:30Oh, I reckon we've got a bit carried away, Miss Bennett.
26:32You're disgusting, the pair of you.
26:34There's enough filth in this prison without you two carrying on in the corridors.
26:37Sorry.
26:37That's easy to say.
26:39I'm reporting the pair of you.
26:40This secret romance has gone on far enough.
26:43You'll be replaced, cook.
26:45Get back to work.
26:46Oh, fair go.
26:47You'll get a chance to ply your trade again soon enough.
26:51What are you doing in here?
27:03I don't feel quite myself this morning.
27:05You're just in a tiz about your precious little garden.
27:08I've taken care of that.
27:09Oh, good.
27:11Am I to see Mrs. Davidson this morning?
27:13You certainly are.
27:15Be outside her office in ten minutes.
27:18You know the way.
27:19Meanwhile, a Vermont dude, Grant Mitchell, 16, reported to police last night that he encountered what could have been the two escapees.
27:28They threatened him with violence, Mitchell said, before stealing a package of fish and chips.
27:33Police can take...
27:34Are you still checking up on your mates, eh?
27:35Oh, no.
27:37I'm just a bit interested, that's all.
27:39Yeah, well, I'm not.
27:40That's all past history now.
27:42Oh, you know, good luck to them and all, but there's nothing we can do about it.
27:46Hey, breakfast!
27:47Oh, Doug, you've spoiled my surprise.
27:50Well, you gave me enough surprises last night.
27:53Doug.
27:54Oh, you're beautiful, honey.
27:56Stop it!
27:57Why?
27:58There's no one here but us.
28:00We can say and do what we like.
28:02Now, why don't we go back to bed?
28:05Wait till I finish getting breakfast.
28:07Well, breakfast can wait.
28:10Oh, Doug, I'm so happy I want to tell everybody.
28:13Oh, you sky...
28:15Obviously, I must ask you why you did not raise the alarm.
28:19Yes.
28:21Why?
28:22As I've already explained to Miss Bennet, I really didn't see anything.
28:26You'd have to be blind.
28:27Possibly I had my back to the fence at the time.
28:30Then you deny all knowledge of the escape.
28:32Yes, Mrs. Davidson.
28:35You realise that you are trusted here.
28:38Oh, yes.
28:39But I am just one of the prisoners in the end.
28:43You may go.
28:53Is that all?
28:54She was there.
28:55She must have seen them.
28:56All right, supposing she did.
28:58Vera, no doubt, every girl in the place knew about this escape and went along with it.
29:02They have their ethics, too.
29:03Honour among thieves and that sort of thing.
29:06You can still surprise me, Mrs. Davidson.
29:08Really?
29:08Why don't we single out the ones we've definitely got something on and make examples of them?
29:13Otherwise, this...
29:14What would you suggest?
29:14Well, I don't think I need tell you what legal, perfectly legal, disciplinary measures are at our disposal.
29:21I'd begin with a seven o'clock curfew, withdrawal of all privileges.
29:23And within two days, we'd have a situation here, Miss Bennet, that even you would not relish.
29:27You know how understaffed we are.
29:30It is only because of the tacit cooperation of the majority of prisoners that we function at all.
29:35And how do you think we get that cooperation?
29:37By patting them on the head?
29:38Certainly not by breaking heads.
29:41You had a great deal to say yesterday, and I let you say it.
29:43Only because I do not wish to humiliate an officer in front of her colleagues.
29:48But I will speak my mind now, Miss Bennet, and you will listen very carefully.
29:53I am well aware that you exceed your authority in some areas,
29:56and that your overall attitude to the women is quite at odds with the way in which I will have this prison run.
30:01You don't know these women.
30:03You can't.
30:04You come here with your university degrees over offices with years of experience in the prison service.
30:08Such as yourself?
30:09And others.
30:10You have a lot of fine theories.
30:11Oh, yes. These women can roam around unescorted, sit around gossiping.
30:16Look at Mason and that electrician.
30:17Everybody knows about them.
30:19Copulating in corners while we all look the other way.
30:21I have that situation in hand, and I'm dealing with it.
30:23What are you going to do about it?
30:25Provide them with a double bed?
30:26Don't be impertinent.
30:28Let me remind you that I am in charge here, and you are not.
30:32Now return to your duties.
30:34Yes, madam.
30:41Well?
30:49Well?
30:50It seems a fair report of the escape.
30:53Everything's here, as far as we know.
30:55There are no names.
30:56No one seems to be responsible.
30:57What's going to happen to Frankie and Doreen?
31:00They're neither of them very bright.
31:02What we university-trained theorists call disadvantaged.
31:06They'll be caught, brought back here, and given longer sentences.
31:09Even in their wildest dreams, they must have known that.
31:12They were sent here for three reasons.
31:14To be punished, to protect the public, and to be rehabilitated.
31:19Our laughter's obviously a joke.
31:22Tell me, Meg.
31:24Do you think I'm an idealistic theorizer?
31:28It's a difficult job.
31:31I mean, you can hardly win with these women.
31:33I mean, you try to be fair, and give them the benefit of the doubt, and they call you soft.
31:37Or you're as hard as nails, and you're a mean bitch.
31:39I don't know.
31:41I'm not seeking your approval, Meg.
31:44I know.
31:45I know.
31:48Hi.
31:51Look, I could have done that.
31:52Oh, it wasn't fair.
31:53And besides, you look so sweet when you're sleeping.
31:56Reckon?
31:57Uh-huh.
31:58Oh, you're looking for a job.
32:00Yeah, I thought I'd see what was offering.
32:02Bloody waste of time.
32:03Every ad's the same.
32:05Experienced applicants only, qualifications necessary.
32:08And how's a bloke supposed to get a start?
32:09Oh, something will turn up.
32:11Don't see how.
32:12Look, I bought some beaut things for our picnic.
32:15Look, we're going to have to call that off.
32:18Doug, why?
32:19I've got to go out.
32:20We'll eat when I get back.
32:21Where are you going?
32:22Just down.
32:23I won't be long.
32:23Only an hour or two.
32:25Bernie's going to introduce me to this bloke about a job.
32:28Oh, what sort of a job?
32:30Oh, in a factory.
32:32Well, you never know.
32:32There might be something in it.
32:34Oh.
32:35What do you reckon, eh?
32:36On the assembly line today, managing director tomorrow.
32:39Well, I've got to do the right thing now that I'm an old married man.
32:43And make sure you remember that.
32:45I do.
32:45I do.
32:47Listen, I think I'll call Meg Jackson and tell her about us getting married.
32:51Who's she?
32:52Oh, Doug, I told you.
32:53One of the warders at the prison, she tried to help me.
32:56Oh, she was really good to me.
32:57But I don't know, Lynn.
32:59I don't trust people like Screws and people like that.
33:02Oh, come on.
33:02It can't do any harm.
33:04All right.
33:05But don't go inviting her around for tea or anything like that.
33:07And don't tell her where you are.
33:09Be sticking her beak in before you can turn around.
33:11Oh, no.
33:12Look, they make me nervous, all right?
33:15Now, I'll see you later.
33:28The new regional officer starts tomorrow.
33:31Her name's Jean Vernon.
33:32I'm told she's very enthusiastic.
33:35Governor's office.
33:36Oh, it's Lynn Warner, Mrs. Davison.
33:38Oh, good morning, Lynn.
33:39Could I please speak to Mrs. Jackson?
33:42Yes, she's here.
33:43Lynette Warner.
33:46Lynn, how are you?
33:47Oh, I'm terrific.
33:49Thanks, Mrs. Jackson.
33:50Just terrific.
33:51That's good to hear.
33:52Home with your mum and dad?
33:54No, I had to leave them.
33:55But something wonderful's happened.
33:57I got married yesterday.
34:00Married?
34:02Well, that was fast work.
34:05No, I suppose it was a bit, but everything's fine.
34:08We didn't meet too long ago, but there didn't seem any reason to put it.
34:11How does he feel about the baby?
34:13Oh, that's all right.
34:14He understands.
34:14Well, I wish you all the luck in the world, Lynn.
34:20Thanks.
34:20I just wanted to tell you.
34:22Bye.
34:25Miss Lynn, she hung up.
34:27She didn't waste any time.
34:28No.
34:29She sounds deliriously happy.
34:31It was about time something good happened for her.
34:33She deserves it, if anyone does.
34:35Where were we?
34:37Oh, yes, the regional officer.
34:38She's asked for room to work in the prison.
34:41I'm giving her bills all the office.
34:43Oh.
34:44Meg, I had to put her somewhere.
34:45Oh, no, no, no, it's all right.
34:47I know.
34:48Life goes on, et cetera, et cetera.
34:51I suppose you want me to get Bill's things out of there?
34:53If you'd prefer somewhere else.
34:54No, no, no, I'll do it.
34:56Um, that reminds me, I want some leave.
35:00I'm hardly seeing Marty, and, well, just at the moment,
35:04I thought perhaps he and I might go away somewhere.
35:06Well, it's rather difficult right now, but I'll see what I can do.
35:12Thanks.
35:13All right, the woman escaped.
35:15She might have done that anyway.
35:16Why are you blaming yourself?
35:17I'm sure it was because of what happened.
35:20Well, I'm not saying it was all my fault,
35:22but if I'd reacted differently...
35:24Oh, how differently, Sid?
35:25Frankie, I don't share your feelings, but here I am.
35:28I mean, altruism is one thing, but that's going a bit far.
35:30She called me a tease.
35:31I knew how she felt about me,
35:33and I jumped as if I'd been stung when she touched me.
35:36You know, a lot of that goes on in here amongst the women.
35:38Yes.
35:39It's the only way many of them have of expressing affection or love.
35:43I'm not idealising it, but...
35:45What are you getting at?
35:47I'm just saying that in some limited way, I understand, that's all.
35:51I couldn't be like that.
35:53Maybe it's wrong.
35:55The church says so, but I understand.
35:58Yes, all right.
35:59But you can't let this stop you from going ahead with what we discussed before.
36:02Teaching some of the others?
36:03Yes, exactly.
36:04I can okay it with Mrs Davidson.
36:05She'd be more than happy to let you go ahead.
36:07Yes, I'm sure she would.
36:09It would make me happy, too.
36:11Would it?
36:13Yes, of course.
36:14I don't want to see you sitting around wasting your time and your talents.
36:16It's obvious.
36:18You're right.
36:19Good.
36:20Well, then, let's start by seeing what the level of interest is.
36:23I think you're in for a big disappointment.
36:25Well, possibly, but we don't know till we try, do we?
36:28You sound like a cricket coach.
36:30Do I?
36:31But I'll go along with it anyway.
36:33Good.
36:34Good.
36:39Oh, Marilyn.
36:40Oh, sorry.
36:41I've been meaning to ask you something, all right?
36:44Yeah?
36:44Well, you know how you're teaching Frankie Doyle how to read?
36:48Are there other sorts of things you can show a person?
36:50Depends what it is, I guess.
36:51Well, there's this thing called bookkeeping.
36:54About money, I think.
36:55You want me to teach you bookkeeping?
36:57Okay, fine.
36:58Fantastic.
36:59You're thinking of going into business?
37:00Well, maybe I am.
37:02I just don't want to be stupid all of my life.
37:04You must be a real good teacher.
37:06Oh, I don't know.
37:07Oh, you must be.
37:09Anyone who could teach Frankie Doyle must be good.
37:11Brave, too.
37:12Not really.
37:13Oh, come on.
37:14She's a bloody maniac.
37:16I just hope they don't catch her till I'm outside.
37:20Oh, sorry.
37:21You weren't a friend of hers, were you?
37:23No, uh...
37:24No, not really.
37:25I just got to know her a bit.
37:28Um...
37:29When do you want to start?
37:30Now?
37:34Well, did you see Bernie?
37:35Yeah, I saw him.
37:37And?
37:38Oh, what's the matter?
37:40Nothing.
37:41Well, is there a job?
37:43Yeah.
37:44What sort?
37:45A factory, like I said.
37:46Oh, when could you start?
37:48Well, it depends.
37:49What on?
37:50Oh, we've got to get a few things sorted out.
37:53Look, Liam, supposing I did get this job,
37:55now what good would it do, eh?
37:57What good, Doug?
37:58I mean, we could start saving and get...
37:59No, look, I'll tell you what.
38:01I'd be slaving me guts out for some...
38:03a fat joker or other.
38:04Now, we haven't got a home,
38:05you've got a baby coming.
38:07All right, you're going to give the kid away,
38:09but there's still doctor's bills
38:10and paying off the car and worrying.
38:12What a life.
38:16I don't know, Lynn.
38:18I just reckon that we deserve better
38:20after what we've been through.
38:22Maybe we do,
38:23but no-one's going to do it for us.
38:25That's life.
38:27Well, it doesn't have to be.
38:29There's other ways.
38:30They're not exactly legal,
38:32but they're a bloody sight easier.
38:34Doug, not again.
38:37What are you talking about?
38:41Nothing.
38:44I was just thinking.
38:55Now, this column here is for money coming in, OK?
38:58Now, let's suppose there's a business.
39:01An electrical business, say?
39:02If you like.
39:04Called Cook's Electrical.
39:07OK.
39:09Now, let's suppose that he does a job
39:11and he sends a person a bill.
39:13Ooh, risky.
39:15I always ask for cash on the nail.
39:17Yes, well, that was probably best,
39:20but this is a bit different.
39:22Now, let's say the bill comes to $500.
39:26$500?
39:27I could make that in a few days.
39:30Oh, sorry.
39:31I've got to stop thinking that way.
39:33Now, to the $500,
39:34we have to take expenses,
39:36so we'll use these two columns here.
39:38Now, what sort of expenses
39:39would Eddie have in the business?
39:41Um, wire?
39:43Wire.
39:44What about the van?
39:46Yeah, right.
39:47Karen, do you think it's good
39:51for a girl to get mixed up
39:52in her husband's business?
39:54Could bring them closer together.
39:56Yeah.
39:57Right.
40:00Come in.
40:03You wanted to see Mr Cook?
40:04Yes.
40:05However, there's no need
40:06to detain you, Miss Bennet.
40:08No.
40:09You've been spending
40:14an enormous amount of time
40:16in the prison lately, Mr Cook.
40:17Yeah.
40:18Yeah, I'd like to meet the bloke
40:19who put the wiring in here.
40:20Oh?
40:21Yeah, he must have been
40:22an apprentice or something.
40:23You're lucky you haven't had a fire.
40:26Well, you've got overlapping circuits,
40:28lousy insulation.
40:29It's all a bit of a risk.
40:30But it's worked out
40:31rather well for you, hasn't it?
40:33Yeah, well,
40:34a long contract never went astray.
40:35Mr Cook, you know
40:36that's not what I mean.
40:37You and Marilyn Mason
40:39have been rather stupidly indiscreet,
40:40don't you think?
40:42Yeah.
40:44Yeah, I was wondering
40:45how long we'd get away with that.
40:46Oh, don't think it hasn't been noticed.
40:48Reports reach me
40:48and I can't ignore them.
40:50I sent for you
40:51because I wanted to tell you
40:52before I ring your employer.
40:54I'm cancelling the contract
40:55with Wilkins Electrical.
40:58Oh, fair go.
40:59Listen, I haven't laid a finger
41:00on Marilyn this stretch.
41:02Honest, we've been fighting up to now.
41:04Look, we're dead serious, Mrs Davidson.
41:06As soon as Marilyn gets out,
41:07we're getting married.
41:07Don't you think that's rather risky
41:08after the last time?
41:10Well, sure it is,
41:11but, well,
41:12Marilyn needs someone
41:13to take her seriously.
41:15I'm nothing special,
41:15but I've got me trade
41:16and I'm a fairly steady
41:17sort of a bloke,
41:18so I'm going to give it a go.
41:19That's very commendable,
41:20but it doesn't change my mind.
41:22I'm cancelling the contract.
41:26It's the stupidest thing
41:27I've ever heard.
41:28Well, I can't see it.
41:30Now, I will tell you
41:31what's stupid,
41:32and that is having a dead-end job
41:33getting paid bloody peanuts.
41:34Look, you want to end up
41:35back in jail?
41:36Is that all you're good for?
41:37Is that what we got married for?
41:39I've been telling you
41:39that we are not going back to jail,
41:42not this time.
41:43It's been checked
41:44and double-checked.
41:46Bernie reckons it's a pusho-
41:46Oh, that fool.
41:48What would he know?
41:49A bloody sight more than you would.
41:51Now, he reckons it's a pushover,
41:52and he's right.
41:54Lyn,
41:54this could set us up for life.
41:57No more worrying,
41:58money in our pockets,
41:59good times.
42:00Now, what is wrong with that?
42:01Look, plenty.
42:02It's wrong.
42:03It's stealing.
42:04Of course it's stealing.
42:05Just like they stole
42:06a piece of your life
42:07when they stuck you inside,
42:08and you hadn't done
42:09a bloody thing.
42:11Stealing.
42:12Those rich bastards
42:13steal every day of the week,
42:15and they get away with it.
42:15Well, now it's our turn.
42:17Share the wealth around, I say.
42:18Oh, now you sound
42:19like some communist.
42:20I'm no bloody coming!
42:23No.
42:25You're just a cheap crook.
42:27Look,
42:28this is not a cheap job.
42:29It is a fat payroll
42:30for a whole factory.
42:32Now, Bernie's mate
42:32reckons it's worth 50 grand.
42:34Well, there'll be guards
42:35and dogs and God knows what.
42:36Well, we know
42:36it's not a bloody paper stand,
42:38but we know all about that.
42:41Look,
42:42all you have to do
42:44is drive.
42:45What?
42:46Now you want me there as well.
42:48We need you.
42:51Somebody has to drive the car.
42:53What about the lovely Susie?
42:55Well, where do you think
42:56we got the information?
42:58Now, look,
42:58the guy on the gate
42:59knows her.
42:59It has to be you!
43:01No.
43:03Jeez,
43:03can't you stand by a bloke once?
43:06I'm your husband.
43:08Yeah,
43:09and I thought you'd changed.
43:11All right,
43:11you won't do it.
43:12I'll get some mole off the street,
43:13someone who's not so fussy.
43:15You would, too.
43:16Yeah, too right I would.
43:17Oh, God.
43:27Mum?
43:29Oh, Mrs. Jackson.
43:30Oh, I wasn't asleep.
43:32Are you all right?
43:33I was watering the garden
43:34and I felt a bit giddy.
43:35It was nothing.
43:36You should see the doctor.
43:37I wouldn't want to trouble him.
43:40Aren't you supposed to be off duty?
43:42Yes,
43:43but I thought you'd like to know.
43:44Lynn Warner rang me today.
43:46Oh, yes.
43:47How's she getting on?
43:48She's very well.
43:50She's married.
43:51Oh,
43:52that seems a bit hasty.
43:54Someone from her hometown,
43:55I suppose.
43:56She didn't say,
43:57but apparently she's not at home anymore.
43:58Well,
43:59we can only hope for the best.
44:01Yes.
44:02She suffered a great deal
44:03in a short time.
44:05Thank you for telling me,
44:06Mrs. Jackson.
44:07She's a sweet-natured girl,
44:09but
44:09a good deal to learn,
44:11I'm afraid.
44:12Yes,
44:12that's true.
44:14Well,
44:15see you tomorrow.
44:20Look,
44:21Bernie,
44:21I've tried all that
44:22and she won't do it.
44:25What?
44:26Look,
44:27I'm not doing that,
44:28Bernie.
44:29Yeah,
44:29well,
44:29you do what you like
44:30with Suze.
44:32Can't we just get someone else?
44:35No.
44:36I've talked to her
44:37until I'm blue in the face.
44:40Look,
44:41it's a dead loss.
44:42I'm...
44:43Look,
44:44I'll drive myself,
44:45all right?
44:47We'll think of something.
44:49I'll see you...
44:49See you in a minute.
44:52Well,
44:53I hope you're bloody satisfied.
44:55You've ruined
44:55the whole thing.
44:57Call it off,
44:58then.
44:58No way.
44:59It's set for tonight
45:00and we're doing it.
45:01God,
45:01I already feel like a fool
45:03being pushed round
45:03by me wife.
45:04I'm not pushing you around.
45:06You're still doing it,
45:07aren't you?
45:07I can't seem to stop you.
45:08Oh,
45:09shut up.
45:09I've got to think.
45:10I'm going to have to do things
45:13different now that you're
45:14not with us.
45:15Oh,
45:15sorry.
45:16Oh,
45:17you're a sour little bitch,
45:18aren't you?
45:19Hoity-toity little angel.
45:21We don't need you.
45:22We'll get by without you.
45:24Little Miss Purity.
45:25Oh,
45:26Doug,
45:26look,
45:26please don't do it
45:28for my sake.
45:29For your bloody sake,
45:30I'm doing it.
45:32I'll have to find
45:33another diversion now.
45:34I'll have to slug that clown
45:35on the gate.
45:36You know I'll have a gun.
45:37And what'll happen
45:38after you've done it?
45:40We piss off.
45:41Dry like hell.
45:42What about me?
45:44I don't know.
45:45We'll just wait
45:46till things settle down.
45:47I suppose I'll come
45:48and get you.
45:49How the hell
45:49am I supposed to know?
45:51Look,
45:51if you want to know
45:51the truth,
45:52you're the least
45:53of my worries
45:54at the moment.
46:01What would I have to do?
46:03I told you,
46:04it's simple.
46:05You drive up
46:06to the gate.
46:07You stall the car,
46:08you get out,
46:09you open the bonnet
46:09and you take
46:10the distributor.
46:12Hang on.
46:14Are you doing this now?
46:16Yes.
46:18Lynnie,
46:19it's my last job.
46:21I promise.
46:22Things will be fine.
46:24With you coming along,
46:25we can't miss.
46:28Will that be him?
46:30Yeah,
46:30that'll be him.
46:31Now look,
46:32I'll tell you
46:32everything on the way,
46:33all right?
46:33All right.
46:36Doug?
46:41Yeah?
46:44Oh,
46:45doesn't matter.
46:46Let's go.
46:47He used to give me roses.
47:00I wish he could again.
47:05But that was on the outside.
47:11And things were different then.
47:13On the inside,
47:15The sun still shines
47:18And the rain falls down
47:23But the sun and rain are Christmas too
47:28When morning comes around
47:32Last night I dreamed we were together
47:38Sharing all the love we'd known
47:43Till I had to face the nightmare
47:49Of waking up alone
47:54On the inside of the night
47:55On the inside the roses grow
47:57They don't land the stony ground
48:02But the roses here are Christmas too
48:08When morning comes around
48:13The snow and the snow
48:16I cried
48:18Tickly
48:19Since the mountains
48:20Christmas
48:21She's been to me
48:22Hilary
48:22She's been to me
48:23I'm to be in the inner
48:23Thunder
48:24Kristus
