00:01Hey, please, let's get out of my way.
00:03Look, I was only trying to help.
00:05Oh, you helped all right.
00:06You made me look like a bloody fool.
00:08Look, I'm sorry.
00:09Just leave me alone.
00:18Interesting reading, wouldn't you say?
00:23It's only a copy.
00:25Ray's taken the original to a solicitor.
00:28Dreadful, isn't it?
00:29You just can't trust people nowadays.
00:34You won't get away with this.
00:36It's how I already have.
00:38It's only your job at risk.
00:40I just don't know how much longer I can take it in isolation.
00:43It's for your own protection.
00:45You can't go on protecting me forever.
00:47And there's no doubt in my mind I'll be convicted.
00:50So it may as well be sooner than later.
00:52Your cash flow had better start improving
00:54because scum like you are not indispensable.
00:57Yeah, it's a bit of rough stuff for the young'uns, eh?
01:00What?
01:01Make yourself scarce, Warren.
01:02How dare you undermine an officer?
01:06That's totally unprofessional.
01:09I just found out about you, Ferguson.
01:12You want to know something I didn't like what I heard?
01:14I wouldn't put a dyke in charge of an outhouse, let alone a prison.
01:18Your days are running, this place are over.
01:21Come off it, rabbit.
01:39Since when would Murphy save you from the freak?
01:42It doesn't make sense, Marlene.
01:43Not after what he did to you before.
01:45But I'm telling you, he did.
01:47Maybe he was making up for mashing my hand or something.
01:49I don't know.
01:51Make a bet on it, rabbit, then we'll all ask.
01:53Oh, no, he scares me.
01:54You never know when he's going to get cross.
01:56But maybe he is sorry for what he did,
01:59and that's why he tried to help my way.
02:01Thank you, Karen.
02:02Now maybe some of my other friends will believe me.
02:05Yeah, well, just tell us the whole story first.
02:08Why was Ferguson getting heavy with you?
02:10Well...
02:11Well, when's she having an excuse, right, girls?
02:13Yeah.
02:14If he did stand up to the freak, he might come in handy after all.
02:17Well, perhaps he was just having trouble settling in.
02:20Oh, heavens, we've all done that.
02:21You do know insecurity can make you do a lot of strange things.
02:26You lot are off your heads.
02:28Have you forgotten what Stan said about him?
02:30Yeah, you're right, Bobby.
02:31The sooner I get the lowdown on him from the PRG,
02:34the better I will feel.
02:35Well, I can understand how isolation must be getting at it.
02:41She must be out of her mind to want to join the rest of the women.
02:43I know.
02:44But if the court finds her guilty and we put her back in isolation,
02:47she'd go out of her mind anyway.
02:48There just seems to be no solution.
02:50Huh?
02:50Problem?
02:51Sarah Higgins wants to join the others.
02:54I thought we could talk to Myra about it.
02:56Oh, come on.
02:58I'm sorry, Governor,
02:58but do we really have to ask the prisoners how to run this place?
03:01I wish we could do it more often.
03:03I'm sure we'd have a lot less trouble.
03:04I agree.
03:05If we had Myra on side,
03:07Higgins would stand a much better chance.
03:08Oh, like Mitchell, huh?
03:09Well, we don't know who bashed her yet.
03:11Well, not officially.
03:12You put Higgins in with that lot,
03:13they'll finish her off in no time.
03:15We've got no choice.
03:17Let's just hope we can get Myra on side.
03:20Your name is Samantha Greenway, is that correct?
03:22Yes.
03:23And you've been charged with illegal possession of drugs
03:26and sentenced to six months' imprisonment.
03:28Is that correct?
03:29Yes.
03:31Right.
03:34There we are.
03:35See you next time.
03:37I'll take that bag.
03:38Bye.
03:39You'll be right.
03:42Can't I keep my things?
03:44Well, that all depends what you've got in here.
03:46Just come over here,
03:47and we'll check all the things through.
03:49Oh, it's just a formality.
03:54Don't worry, it won't take long.
03:57When will I see the other prisoners?
03:59Well, just as soon as you've had a shower
04:01and been to see the sister.
04:05Oh, now, now.
04:07Once you've made some friends
04:08and your family's been in to see you,
04:10you'll wonder what you're worried about.
04:13It's just the thought of being locked up here for six months.
04:16I know.
04:17I understand.
04:18Oh, this is Mrs. Morris.
04:21Don't tell me it's afternoon tea time already.
04:23Yes, it is, and Ray's made a tray of fairy cakes.
04:26So you'd better hurry up, or Gail will eat the lot.
04:28But I haven't finished here yet.
04:29It's all right, it's all right.
04:30I'll fix it for you.
04:31You go and have your break.
04:32Thanks.
04:33Samantha Greenway.
04:34Can I keep the sketchbook?
04:40Anything from the outside?
04:42Of course.
04:44And we'll see what else you can take, all right?
04:50G'day.
04:51Hi, Bobby.
04:52Don't look too good.
04:53What's up?
04:54Come on, let's sit down.
04:55It's down, isn't it?
04:56He's worse.
04:57Come on, he's okay.
04:58Hey, I, uh, look, I just been to see him, and he gave me a letter for you.
05:05Do you know what it says?
05:07He had me write it out for him.
05:13You'd better read it.
05:15Sure.
05:17Dear Bobby, they've cut down on my visitors for a while, so I thought I'd write and let you
05:22know I'm all right.
05:23Now, let's get the bad news out of the way first.
05:29The department has decided it's time this old horse went to pasture and stayed there,
05:35and of course, he is right behind them.
05:37So, I'm afraid it's goodbye, Windworth.
05:41I guess it won't be too bad.
05:43I'm feeling pretty tired at the moment.
05:45Now, the good news, soon as I'm up to it, I'll be right in there putting in my application
05:52for your custody.
05:54So, nothing's changed on that side of things, except we have to wait a bit longer, that's
05:58all.
05:59Be a good girl, and we'll come and see you as soon as they let me out of this bed.
06:05Your old mate, Stan.
06:11Better not tell the others I was born.
06:13Look, it's just him lying there.
06:18Stupid bugger still worries about me.
06:21You really care about him, don't you, Bobby?
06:28We made this really good card for him.
06:31Do you reckon you could get it to him?
06:33Sure.
06:36Tell him it's okay.
06:39The letter and everything.
06:41And then I'm thinking about him.
06:43Hey, would you like to put a note in with the card?
06:47Not much of a letter, right?
06:51I suppose the chances are pretty slim of me going to live with Stan and Edie now.
06:57Yeah, pretty slim, but I can't see the parole board putting it through under the circumstances.
07:02You know what they're like?
07:03Better than anybody.
07:10It's not point in even trying.
07:12They always want to knock you down.
07:15Hey, why don't you come outside for a while?
07:17The fresh air will do you good.
07:18No, no, softball and I don't mix.
07:19Any way I'm expecting that.
07:21Okay.
07:21Who the hell is Bobby?
07:24She's got to be on our team.
07:26Oh, come on.
07:26It's only a practice game.
07:28Yeah, but we can have a game at the same time.
07:30Judy, have you got my cap?
07:32Well, what the heck would I do with your cap?
07:34Oh, bugger.
07:35Oh, come on.
07:35The world's not going to end if you haven't got it.
07:37I won't be long.
07:38Gotcha.
07:58Hi, Mr. Murphy.
07:59I just had to get my cap.
08:00I've got it now, back.
08:01Plenty of time, Warren.
08:03Would you like a little information first?
08:06Yeah?
08:07Oh, well.
08:07Far away.
08:11What's Ferguson got over you?
08:14Oh, nothing.
08:18Let's try it again.
08:20Why was she getting tough with you?
08:22Now give before I lose my patience.
08:23She was...
08:24I was running a book and she made me give a half.
08:28That's a very good one.
08:30You learned quick.
08:33Here's another one.
08:34There'll be no more payoffs while I'm around, okay?
08:38In fact, if I even hear of a book being run,
08:41the book is going to be a very sorry crim.
08:45You with me?
08:48Good.
08:48Oh, you can pass the message around.
08:52I'm in charge now.
08:54Anybody breaks my rules, I'll break their backs.
08:57Most of the women are out on exercise at the moment.
09:12But if you get your bed made, I'll ask one of the officers to take you out there.
09:17Right.
09:17Uh, the other bed?
09:21It's Judy Bryant.
09:23You like her?
09:24She'll show you around.
09:26So don't worry about getting lost.
09:29And don't forget,
09:30it'll make your time much easier here if you stick by the rules.
09:34So you study that book.
09:36I will.
09:38Oh, uh, Mrs. Morris?
09:40Um, I heard if you don't get into any trouble,
09:42you can get out a lot earlier.
09:43Is that right?
09:44Yes.
09:45It's called remission.
09:47But Mrs. Reynolds will help you with that when the time comes.
09:50Good.
09:50It's essential I get out as soon as possible.
09:53I hope you do, Greenway.
09:54What are you daydreaming about?
10:13It's just thinking of the way to make everybody play better.
10:16Oh, bloody hell.
10:17Here we go again.
10:18How much are we up for this time?
10:20Shumira, jeez.
10:22Everybody puts in a dollar, right?
10:23And the person that hits the ball the furthest gets a fiver.
10:26A fiver.
10:27Who gets a rest?
10:28Well, I have to organise it.
10:29What do you reckon?
10:30Oh, yeah?
10:31Read any good Bible quotes lately, have you?
10:33Yeah, she wins two bucks and someone pinches the biscuits.
10:36What a bet who organised that.
10:37Hey, that's right.
10:39Know anything about that, do you, lard belly?
10:41All I know is you cheated on the quote, mate,
10:44so you still owe me two dollars.
10:46No bloody way, Warren.
10:47I won that money fair and square.
10:49You and Peabrain should have known it wasn't in your Bible.
10:52Well, it isn't fair because it's meant to come from the Bible.
10:55Well, better be clearer with the rules next time you run a book.
10:58I'm clear on my rules.
11:00You couldn't be clear on anything.
11:01Well, no, you light off your backside and we'll get this thing moving.
11:04Oh, not Francis.
11:08I think you can kiss your two bucks goodbye.
11:10She's got a point.
11:12Myra, I've got to talk to you about something really urgent.
11:14Yeah, well, after the game, love, otherwise Murphy will have a coronary.
11:20Hi.
11:21Myra Desmond.
11:22Why don't you join us?
11:23I'll introduce you around.
11:25And if you can bat, you're on out there.
11:27Pray not, but I have played before.
11:29My name's Samantha Greenway.
11:31Hi, Sam.
11:31Marlene Warren.
11:32Hey, you, Warren.
11:33Over here.
11:35Myra.
11:36And the new girl.
11:37You're on my team.
11:38I'll get around.
11:38Come on.
11:39Hi, Sam.
11:40Hey, everyone.
11:40This is Sam.
11:41Hi, Sam.
11:43Well, Mr. Murphy, looks like brains versus brawn.
11:51I want you to hit low and hard.
11:54If anybody gets run out on a base, they'll answer to me.
11:57Now get out there and kill them.
12:02I'm sorry, Davies.
12:03He said it was an urgent business deal.
12:05I suppose he just couldn't get out of it.
12:08Is he coming tomorrow, then?
12:10He didn't say when he might be able to come.
12:14He didn't make any arrangement at all.
12:18Karen, I think if you're patient...
12:20No, you see, I can't be patient because I have to speak to him and there is something wrong.
12:24Look, I do sympathise, but I can't keep bending the rules.
12:26Mrs. Reynolds, please.
12:28Please.
12:29Let me make just one more phone call, just so that I know he's all right.
12:33All right.
12:35But this will have to be the last for this week.
12:37Yes, I can understand that.
12:38Keep an eye on him.
12:48Go, go, go!
12:52Hold the mat higher.
13:09What's the matter with your cart, you'll hit the thing.
13:10Maybe I'd want if you weren't freezing down me neck.
13:14He's getting angry again.
13:16Yeah, two guesses who he'll pick on next, too.
13:19Oh, Marlene, honestly.
13:20You better go back and field or they're just going to yell at you, then.
13:27Oh, come on, Ernie, there must be something on him.
13:32You can't be squeaky clean in a place like Woodridge.
13:35We are talking about Len Murphy, aren't we?
13:44Oh, come on, Ernie, there must be something on him.
13:45You can't be squeaky clean in a place like Woodridge.
13:56We are talking about Len Murphy, aren't we?
14:00All right.
14:01All right.
14:02All right.
14:03Then, well, what about off the record?
14:05Look, just keep your ear to the ground, will you?
14:09There must be something on him.
14:11Ernie, no, I'm sorry.
14:12There will be no press interviews until further notice.
14:14All right.
14:15The doctor's going to have to watch his budget.
14:16You should see some of these orders.
14:18Yes, well.
14:19Well, it sounds like...
14:20What was it going to do with?
14:22Now, what else?
14:23We lost you.
14:24Never mind.
14:26All right.
14:27Keep it down and keep moving.
14:32Hey, Desmond.
14:33Showing the new drug push of the ropes, eh?
14:38Wentworth Detention Centre.
14:39Hold the line, please.
14:40Now, would you keep that lot quiet?
14:42If you can't do it, get some help.
14:44Oh, for heaven's sake, let me help you.
14:47Yeah, just...
14:48Oh, by Jove, that Len Murphy can keep their spirits up, can't he?
14:51We've struck a good one this time.
14:53Yeah, just because he panders to them and lets them play softball.
14:56Panders to him?
14:57He ran that game like an army maneuver.
14:59Oh, that's what we want.
15:01Leadership.
15:02I think it'll be all right, though, don't you?
15:04Yeah, thanks.
15:05Yeah, sorry to keep you waiting.
15:10Hi.
15:11Oh, hello.
15:12How'd your practice go?
15:13Oh, not bad all.
15:14It was more like a grand final match with one out there pushing for runs.
15:17Well, I must go.
15:18See you tomorrow.
15:19Hey, just hold on a second.
15:20I'll come with you.
15:21I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry.
15:22Hey, look.
15:23What's wrong?
15:24You've been avoiding me all day like I've got the plague.
15:25Hey, if it was about last night.
15:26Well, of course it is.
15:27I mean, it was a stupid and childish thing to do.
15:30And if you must know, I think your psychologist friend was embarrassed too.
15:33Yeah, he was, and so am I now, but I was like...
15:35Just drop it, will you?
15:36All right, but I'm not going to let you go until you tell me that you care about me.
15:40I don't want to care about you.
15:42Oh, you don't mind, do you?
15:43I just need two slices.
15:44They're fine art up there.
15:45Go for your life.
15:46Thanks.
15:47I'm making a sandwich for Karen.
15:48I think she's visiting Lyle.
15:49Hi.
15:50Well, Ray calls this Marcello's delight, but it still looks like plain old macaroni cheese
15:51for me.
15:52Oh, but it's lovely.
15:53Hey, what is it with you three tonight, all sitting over there?
15:54We've got the O or something?
15:55Oh, heavens no.
15:56It's just a good night.
15:57It's just a good night.
15:58It's just a good night.
15:59It's just a good night.
16:00It's just a good night.
16:01It's just a good night.
16:02It's just a good night.
16:03It's just a good night.
16:04It's just a good night.
16:05Oh, but it's lovely.
16:06Hey, what is it with you three tonight, all sitting over there?
16:09We've got the O or something?
16:10Oh, heavens no.
16:11It's just that Bobby's still a bit depressed because Dan has been coming back, so we thought
16:15we'd try and cheer her up a bit.
16:16Yeah, poor kid.
16:17I think her plans for living with him have gone out the window.
16:19Yeah.
16:20Well, I'm going to take this to Karen.
16:22Maybe you should try and cheer Bobby up.
16:24Oh, no, love.
16:25I think rabbits are enough when you want to be on your own.
16:27It's too much to take any time.
16:29No, and I do, Frances.
16:30Eat your food and shut up.
16:32Here you go, Jude.
16:33You can have mine if you like.
16:34Oh.
16:35Oh, no, look.
16:36It's really nice.
16:37It's got little bacon bits in it.
16:38Well, yeah, that's the point.
16:39I'm a vegetarian.
16:40Are you?
16:41You know, I always thought I might like to be a vegetarian.
16:44You feel really healthy, do you?
16:46Well, yeah, but that's not the reason why I do it.
16:48It's just the thought of eating dead meat makes me feel sick.
16:51Oh, you're in the wrong company if you don't like dead meat, sweetie.
16:54No.
16:58Sit somewhere else, would you?
16:59Do you not like men at my right?
17:00You know the rules, Jude.
17:02Exactly.
17:03Come on, love.
17:04You stick with me.
17:05I'll look after you.
17:09Oh, good.
17:10You're back.
17:11Hi, Lucy.
17:12I made you a macaroni sandwich.
17:13I'm sorry it's a bit squashed.
17:15Oh.
17:16Oh, Karen, what's wrong?
17:18Nothing.
17:19Nothing.
17:20Nothing.
17:21Everything.
17:22Lyle didn't come.
17:23He had to work.
17:24Oh, no.
17:25What a pity.
17:26Oh, but don't worry.
17:27He'll come tomorrow instead.
17:28Nope.
17:29Nope.
17:30Mrs Reynolds let me phone and Tim answered the phone and he said that Lyle wasn't at home and
17:34Tim has never been a very convincing liar.
17:36You mean he didn't even come to the phone?
17:37Oh, but that's awful.
17:38Oh, honestly, I just don't know what to think anymore.
17:43When I see two people who love each other break up, well, I just don't understand it.
17:49Do you know my parents have been married for years and now look at them.
17:54I just don't think it's worth it.
17:56I think you should forget him, Karen.
17:58Become a spinster.
18:00Get yourself a cat.
18:01That won't let you down.
18:02Oh, Pixie dear.
18:04Cat or no cat.
18:05Life wouldn't be worth living for me without Lyle.
18:08Well, you just have to make him believe that.
18:11Do you know what I'd do?
18:13I'd write him a letter.
18:14I think letters are better anyway because then you can think about what you're going to say.
18:18I think that's a very good idea.
18:20Who?
18:21I'll write it all down.
18:22I'll tell him the truth.
18:23Great.
18:24Well, I'll go and get some paper.
18:25Oh, don't forget your sandwich.
18:30Oh, we've got some nice paper.
18:31Oh, what for?
18:32Oh, well, Karen's going to write a letter to Lyle so you come and visit her.
18:35Didn't he come?
18:36Oh, no, and she's so depressed.
18:37Oh, Sam, can I have a few pages?
18:39Sure.
18:40Golly, that's wonderful.
18:43That's Jude, isn't it?
18:44Jude, come and have a look at this.
18:45What?
18:46What is it?
18:47Hey, you're awfully clever.
18:48Oh, it's just a rough character.
18:50No, this is good.
18:51And that's Alice.
18:52What?
18:53Why are you laughing?
18:54It's just like her.
18:56Hey, Lortz, I think you'd better get your face lifted.
19:00No, no, no, a second, Lortz, get your body lowered.
19:02Hey, give it to me.
19:03Jeez.
19:04Give it to me down, Alice.
19:05Hey, Mara, look not bad, huh?
19:07What's going on?
19:08Hey, Mara, look not bad, huh?
19:09What's going on?
19:10Do you want to have that talk?
19:11Yeah?
19:12Let's do it now.
19:13Hey, Alice, better not let your lover voice hear it.
19:15You bitch.
19:17I couldn't help it, Mara.
19:23Honestly, she really got heavy with me.
19:25For God's sake, why didn't you tell me earlier?
19:28I thought you'd have a go at me, like you did with Bobby.
19:32And...
19:34And what?
19:37Marlaine, I only hit Bobby because she broke the rules.
19:41Yeah, well, I reckon I broke the rules, too.
19:43The only reason I cleaned up over that loo thing is because the freak told me they'd already called her.
19:49And Ferguson got half, right?
19:51Mara!
19:52Just shut up for a minute and let me think.
19:53There has got to be a way.
19:55Yeah, well, you don't have to worry about me running a book ever again because old Spudface told me he's gonna break both...
20:04That's it.
20:05He is out to topple the freak.
20:08And we're gonna help him.
20:10Yeah?
20:11Yeah, you run as many books as you like, Marlaine.
20:13But, Mar...
20:14Don't worry, I'll look after you.
20:15The important thing is to get those two at each other's throats.
20:18Why should we fight the screws when they can fight each other?
20:25Ah.
20:26Gee whiz, Fran.
20:27Famous artist and drug pushers all by herself.
20:28So she is.
20:29What's up?
20:30They get sick of you already?
20:31Look, if you two wanna say something, then I suggest...
20:32Just wanted to thank you for drawing me picture.
20:33And I'll thank you not to draw any more, Greenway.
20:34Because if you don't come good with some dope, I'll scrub your eyeballs till they shine.
20:39Got me?
20:40I get you.
20:41Now get out of here before I call in some muscle.
20:43That'd be right.
20:44Couldn't handle this on your own, could you, fatso?
20:45I wouldn't have to, Harvey.
20:46Everybody wants to get you.
20:47Come on, Fran.
20:48Reckon Miss Artie Crafty's got the message, anyway.
20:49Yeah.
20:50You won't last time.
20:51Don't pay any attention to them, love.
20:52They're all talk.
20:53Thanks, Judith.
20:55Not leaving without saying goodnight, I hope.
20:56Not till we've had a little chat, anyway.
20:57Listen, Murphy, I'm just gonna get out of here before I call in some muscle.
20:58I'll get out of here before I call in some muscle.
20:59Oh, that'd be right.
21:00Couldn't handle this on your own, could you, fatso?
21:01I wouldn't have to, Harvey.
21:02Everybody wants to get you.
21:03Come on, Fran.
21:04Reckon Miss Artie Crafty's got the message, anyway.
21:06Yeah.
21:07You won't last time.
21:08Don't pay any attention to them, love.
21:13They're all talk.
21:14Thanks, Judith.
21:16Not leaving without saying goodnight, I hope.
21:18Not till we've had a little chat, anyway.
21:23Listen, Murphy, I'm just about...
21:25No, you listen to me.
21:26I've got a little problem I'd like to discuss with you regarding prison discipline.
21:30I know you're all for that.
21:32You see, I've heard that you're pushing rackets.
21:36Oh, yeah?
21:37From one of the prisoners, was it?
21:39Oh, you're very good, Ferguson.
21:41But I've got enough on you to have you out that door so quick your feet wouldn't touch the ground.
21:45And who'd back you up?
21:46The word of a crim means nothing.
21:48Oh, I could manage it very well on my own without any backing whatsoever.
21:52Of course, I'd much rather we join forces.
21:57Run this prison the way it should be run.
21:59I need a good lieutenant.
22:01Someone with a bit of backbone.
22:03Yeah, well, you keep looking, Murphy.
22:06Because I'm not playing second fiddle to anyone.
22:09Especially you.
22:11Don't be too hasty.
22:13Better to join forces with me than be out of a job, wouldn't you say?
22:28Come on, get a move on, you lot.
22:30Come on, kid.
22:31I'll show you the ropes.
22:32Oh, isn't that nice.
22:33Morning, Miss Ferguson.
22:34Come on.
22:35Miss Ferguson.
22:36Miss Ferguson.
22:37What?
22:38I've written a letter to my husband, Lyle.
22:39Could you see that he gets it, please?
22:40I'll see that it's posted.
22:41No, you don't understand.
22:42It's urgent.
22:43Could it go special messenger or by courier?
22:44I'll have just a minute, Davies.
22:45This is not a school dormitory.
22:46This is a prison.
22:47And you are a prisoner.
22:48Now, you've abused this system for quite long enough.
22:50From now on, you'll follow the rules.
22:51It will be posted.
22:52But, Miss Ferguson, you don't understand.
22:53Anything about letters?
22:54You can either make or break it.
22:55Miss Ferguson, it's urgent.
22:56He's got to get it today.
22:57What are you talking about?
22:58Please.
22:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:00All right.
23:01It'll get to your precious husband.
23:02Now, get to the showers.
23:04Miss Ferguson, you don't understand.
23:05Anything about letters?
23:06You can either make or break it.
23:07Miss Ferguson, it's urgent.
23:08He's got to get it today.
23:09What are you talking about?
23:10Please.
23:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:12All right.
23:13It'll get to your precious husband.
23:14Now, get to the showers.
23:16Go on, move.
23:17Oh, look.
23:18There's a horse running in today's race called Pixis Delight.
23:20Must be an omen, love.
23:21You should have a bet with Rabbit.
23:22First start, too.
23:23I could win a fortune.
23:24Marlene could go broke.
23:25Are you two waiting for a special invitation?
23:27Only if it comes from you, Miss Ferguson.
23:29Don't push your luck, Desmond.
23:31Morning, Miss Ferguson.
23:33I drafted out a list of suggestions I thought might help.
23:45You know, make the place run more smoother and make your job a lot easier, too.
23:49Very considerate, Mr Murphy.
23:51Oh, just doing my job.
23:53I'd like you to read it, though.
23:56It took me about six hours to get through that stuff.
23:58Well, there's no doubting your dedication to the job.
24:01Yeah, you'll notice there I've changed one of the schedules.
24:05It gives the prisoners a lot less free time.
24:08Why?
24:09Well, free time leads to mischief.
24:11I'm not sure I agree.
24:13I support leisure activities.
24:14I think they're good for morale.
24:16Certainly are.
24:18As long as they're the right activities.
24:20Stuff that's going to do them a bit of good.
24:22Oh.
24:23Well, Stan Dobson's still in hospital.
24:25Doesn't look like he's coming back, does it?
24:27No.
24:28Well, somebody's got to do the odd jobs round here.
24:30Yes, I suppose so.
24:31Well, I thought I might teach the prisoners how to do those odd jobs.
24:35You know, a bit of carpentry work, a bit of electrical stuff.
24:38Stuff that'll keep them out of mischief.
24:40Save the department, a bit of money, too.
24:42Yes, well, I'm not worried about the money,
24:44but I do think it'd be a good idea for them to learn things like that.
24:48They might get a bit of pride in themselves.
24:51After all, Wentworth is their home.
24:54I beg your pardon, Mrs Reynolds, but Wentworth is a prison.
24:59What's this new disciplinary measures?
25:03A bit extreme, don't you think?
25:07Yes, well, maybe, but as I said before, Wentworth is a prison.
25:12Yes, I know, but we're not the Gestapo.
25:14Look, I did the same things at Woodridge, and believe me, the place worked like clockwork.
25:18I don't want clockwork, Mr Murphy. I want rehabilitation.
25:22Well, sure, they may look tough, but we even stamped out smuggling.
25:29Right, I'll pass them on to the department.
25:32But I'm not going to support you on those disciplinary measures.
25:35I don't think they're necessary.
25:37Okay, then, well, like I said, I was just doing my job.
25:41Thank you, Mr Murphy.
25:43All we've got to do is make sure that Murphy catches the freak on the take.
25:47Yeah, how do we do that? Simple.
25:49That's me.
25:50A certain unknown pixie and yours truly have let it slip that you're running a book on today's races.
25:54Now, the freak's going to want her take.
25:56She comes to get her take, we make sure then is there.
25:58Yeah, well, the problem is I'm not running a book on today's races,
26:01and that's because nobody's got any money to place a bet.
26:04Yeah, well, the freak doesn't know that.
26:06Look, I must be stupid or something, but how is Murphy going to catch me handing money over
26:10when there's no money to begin with?
26:12Because you are going to supply the money from your bankroll.
26:15Eh? Oh, no, I don't think that's fair.
26:18Oh, I do. At least that way we get a chance to get our money back.
26:21Well, why should I bankroll you like to win your money back?
26:24Because it'll help get rid of the freak.
26:26Sorry, I reckon you're wasting your time.
26:28Well, it sounds okay to me.
26:30Nobody took my word against hers.
26:32All right, I'm a crimp. What about Heather Rogers?
26:34She got the bullet instead of the freak.
26:36Yeah, but she was caught trying to set her up.
26:38Right. And if Len can catch her out at red-handed...
26:41Well, how do we know he's straight?
26:43Yeah, we don't. We've got to take the punt on that.
26:45We've got the PRG looking into it. I'll soon know.
26:47In the meantime, we're taking a big risk.
26:49Worth it. What reckon?
26:51I know. I'll give you a lot four to one against the freak.
26:54No bit.
26:55Good morning.
26:56Good morning.
26:57Here's one of your black sheep back.
26:58Good.
26:59On the white line.
27:08Kelly?
27:09On the white line.
27:22Your name is Louise Kelly?
27:24No, I'm her twin sister.
27:26Just answer the question.
27:28Are you Louise Kelly?
27:29Yes.
27:30Louise Kelly, you've been charged and convicted of armed robbery
27:35and are currently serving a sentence of eight to ten years.
27:37If you say so.
27:38You're hereby charged with escaping lawful custody,
27:44theft, illegal possession of a firearm,
27:47kidnapping,
27:49assault, occasionally bodily harm,
27:52and assault with a deadly weapon.
27:54Is that correct?
27:55Yeah.
27:56I've been a bad girl, haven't I?
27:59Ladies?
28:01As I'm sure you already know,
28:03Sarah Higgins is now a prisoner here.
28:05Bad news travels fast.
28:07So far, we've kept her in isolation.
28:09For her own protection, of course.
28:11However, what you don't know is that she's asked to be put in review.
28:15What?
28:16And the department's agreed.
28:18In fact, they insist.
28:19You've got to be joking.
28:21They need their heads read.
28:22Myra, could I talk to you about it?
28:24Before you say another word, I just want you to know that I'm as angry about this as you are.
28:30Then don't do it.
28:31I've got no choice.
28:32I don't know what the department's motivation is, but she is here, and she's going to be joining in.
28:37Then you're in for big trouble.
28:39I needn't be angry.
28:40Not if you can.
28:41You could protect her.
28:42Me?
28:43Yes.
28:44I'm asking for your cooperation.
28:45Think about it, Myra.
28:46I don't know why the department's doing this.
28:49The department can stick it.
28:51I can understand you being angry at having to protect her.
28:54No, no.
28:55That's not why I'm angry.
28:56I'm angry for those women.
28:58I'm angry because it's inhuman to ask them to live alongside that bitch.
29:02They don't want her here.
29:03I don't want her here.
29:05I can't make any promises.
29:06In fact, I don't want to make any promises.
29:08The department put her in here, they can bloody well suffer the consequences.
29:16Only three to go, Mal.
29:21Want to put your money on it?
29:22Oh, yeah.
29:23The way you're playing.
29:24Forget it.
29:25Yes, you're awfully good, Reb.
29:27Oh, guess who?
29:28They just put in the pound.
29:29The one and only Lou Kelly, the lady of cigar.
29:31No, what am I going to do?
29:33You'll be okay, love.
29:36Got a new inmate for you ladies.
29:38Meet Sarah Higgins.
29:42I'll leave you to make her feel welcome.
29:46Oh, Warren, I've got a little job for you.
29:49You're on trade duty and there's a visitor in solitary.
29:52I'll do it.
29:53No, Desmond, it's no job for a top dog.
29:56Warren will do it.
30:00Oh, by the way, there'll be no softball today, ladies.
30:03Oh, come on.
30:04Instead, there'll be a class on handyman jobs.
30:07I'll pick out who I want to volunteer later.
30:10Come on, Warren.
30:16This is going to be awkward for all of us.
30:18But I hope we can work it out.
30:20Oh, come on, love.
30:21What's the matter?
30:22Well, it's just this place.
30:23That's all.
30:24Are you sure?
30:25You didn't have another falling out with Myra.
30:26No.
30:27I don't think I'm a favorite person.
30:29Look, Sam, it's none of my business.
30:30It's just that...
30:31Do you remember when Myra was talking to you about being a pusher?
30:33Judy, I'm not into drugs.
30:34Honestly, I don't even like taking pain kicks.
30:35But I still don't know if I'm all right.
30:36No.
30:37I need to come.
30:38I need to go.
30:39Go.
30:40What's the matter?
30:41No.
30:42There's a hospital.
30:43No.
30:44No, I can't go.
30:45No, I can't go.
30:46They'll go.
30:47No.
30:48But I can't go.
30:49I can't go.
30:50Come on, love.
30:51What's the matter?
30:52What's the matter?
30:53It's just this place that's all.
30:54You sure?
30:55Judy, I'm not into drugs.
30:57Honestly, I don't even like taking painkillers.
30:59Come off it, love.
31:00Even the freak said you were one.
31:02Okay.
31:04I was busted with ten grams of cocaine.
31:06Well, that makes you a pusher.
31:08It wasn't mine.
31:09I see.
31:10Someone planned it on you, right?
31:11It wouldn't have been too hard.
31:12I was so drunk I could barely stand up.
31:14Well, this is a sad story.
31:17Judy, I'm telling you the truth.
31:20When my dad died about six months ago,
31:22my mum just lost the will to live.
31:25She died a few weeks ago.
31:28It was terrible, isn't she?
31:31All the most beautiful people in the world.
31:35And then, after the funeral,
31:37mum's solicitor gave me a letter,
31:39and that's what finished me.
31:41They weren't my real parents.
31:43You're adopted.
31:44What a hell of a time to find out.
31:46Yeah.
31:47Well, I didn't handle it very well.
31:49A few uni friends asked me to come to a party,
31:51and I thought, well, what the hell?
31:52And?
31:54Well, the next thing I knew,
31:55I was paralytic drunk,
31:57trying to explain ten grams of coke to the police.
31:59They were some friends, weren't they?
32:01That part of it doesn't worry me.
32:04You know what I really have to do?
32:06Find my real parents.
32:08I don't know why.
32:09I just have to.
32:10Well, honey, I can understand that.
32:12And it shouldn't be too hard, either,
32:13not with this new legislation.
32:15You just have to contact the welfare department.
32:16Oh, sure, that's for those outside.
32:18I'm here, though.
32:19Okay, ask the governor to help.
32:21She'll get the ball rolling.
32:23Would she?
32:24I don't see why not.
32:26It's certainly worth a chance.
32:31Oh, would you please hurry up?
32:32I'm awfully hungry.
32:34Oh, I don't think I am.
32:36Isn't it funny?
32:37I always feel ravenous when I'm depressed.
32:39Oh, I'm not depressed.
32:40No, I don't have my letter right now in here.
32:42You know what?
32:43Yeah.
32:44Um, no.
32:46This place has gone off, Jude?
32:48Don't feed anyone here.
32:49Yeah, they're not too fussy about his serving it, neither.
32:52That smell ain't the food, so don't complain.
32:56Where's Bobby?
32:57I thought she was going to serve.
32:58In the kitchen.
32:59Oh, hey, listen.
33:01Sam here's a vegetarian,
33:02so she'll just have the vegetables,
33:03but I'll take the meat.
33:05You know, waste not, want not.
33:07Thanks.
33:15Pile it on.
33:27I would like some food.
33:29Go jump.
33:30I would like some food now.
33:33What's the trouble?
33:35No trouble.
33:36Just a slight misunderstanding, that's all.
33:38Thank you, Mr. Murphy.
33:49Couldn't somebody else do trade duty, Mr. Murphy, please?
33:54That Lou's going to kill me if she gets half a chance.
33:57You won't get one, not with me around.
33:58Yeah, but what if she makes it great?
34:01Now look, that's enough.
34:03You just do what I tell you, when I tell you, and we'll get along just fine.
34:11Up against the far wall, Kelly.
34:17In you go.
34:29You're a dead bunny, Warren, on your team.
34:33Oh, what a shame.
34:36You're a bit clumsy, Warren.
34:37Now you'll have to go and get another tray.
34:40Wait outside.
34:41My name's Murphy.
34:51I'm a nice bloke, if people do what I tell them and don't upset the apple cart.
34:57Now while we're gone, you'll clean that mess up, right?
35:01Wrong.
35:04Then we won't be back.
35:07Now let it get cold, will you?
35:16Oh, Mr. Ferguson, have you seen my husband?
35:22Has he arrived yet?
35:23No.
35:24Well, you received my note, didn't he?
35:26I suppose so.
35:27Well, he must have done.
35:29You arranged it, didn't you?
35:30You said that you would.
35:31He got the note.
35:32Well, then, as he replied, perhaps he phoned him.
35:35I don't know, Davies, and I don't care.
35:37The note was delivered hours ago.
35:38If he wanted to contact you, he would have by now.
35:41Are you sure?
35:42Yes, I'm sure.
35:45Now, Davies, you're going to have to set yourself right on a few facts.
35:49You're in here for two years, right?
35:52And after a while, nobody gives a damn.

39:50kind of screw it and cover his tracks and he comes up smelling like roses every time just like our freak eh
39:56probably worse all our information came from ex Woodridge prisoners apparently Murphy's all twisted
40:03up since his wife left him for someone about five years ago that's why he's got it in for the freak
40:08Judy too for that matter
40:11Myra he's dangerous
40:14oh yeah maybe I better talk to Reno
40:16you're all right but be very careful
40:18two Woodridge prisoners tried to report Murphy to the governor there they're both found with their necks
40:23broken and nobody could prove anything
40:25sorry it's too late you don't understand I must see my wife it's urgent sorry look can't you just bend

40:45must see Karen it's urgent she wrote me a note I have already told you it's too late the women are
40:49on their way into tea but you don't understand all right mr. Davies of course you can see it
40:53would you come to my office and miss Ferguson would you get Karen please
40:56hey where's Karen oh who cares bloody pain in the bum she's probably crying in the loo or something oh
41:10my name oh I'm sorry but she really gives me the heebies why oh she's always up one minute down the
41:16next we ought to call a dunny seat Davies last time I saw her was doing our exercise period oh that's
41:22right she was going to the ladies room what did I tell you when I last saw she was going to the
41:27right sweet oh yeah maybe your husband's finally come oh yeah maybe your husband's finally come oh
41:30I'm going to praise you oh I'll pull yourself together lucky bitch I wish I could get a bit on the side
41:35you've seen Davies my husband has finally decided to put in an appearance oh a wreck room or door
41:43I suppose no got a sign of it looked everywhere so you see it was all my son's fault he couldn't
41:50make good his gambling debts and he talked Karen into borrowing money from the bank unfortunately
41:57didn't replace it in time and she continued to protect him if only either of them had come to
42:03me none of this would have happened if yeah it's taking a long time isn't it oh Wentworth's quite big
42:13she could be in several places don't worry she'll be here thanks what's the bright side of all this is
42:19that your lawyer may be able to have the major charge quashed and that'd mean that Karen could only serve a
42:25maximum of one year I hadn't thought of that and taking missions into account she could be out of
42:31here in nine months that's fantastic I wish she'd get here I'll have her on a charge for this
42:41black eye Davies this time
42:50oh no
42:56he used to give me roses
43:13i wish he could again
43:18but that was on the outside and things were different then on the inside the sun still shines and the rain falls down

44:10on the inside the roses grow
