00:01That Lou's gonna kill me if she can solve a chance.
00:03What did anybody want?
00:04Teach me.
00:08Oh, what a shame.
00:10This is from Karen, Dad.
00:14It's all my fault she ended up in prison.
00:16What?
00:17What do you mean?
00:18Just read it.
00:20Myra, he's dangerous.
00:23Yeah, maybe I'd better talk to Reno.
00:26You're alright.
00:27Be very careful.
00:28Two Woodridge prisoners tried to report Murphy to the governor there.
00:31They both found with their necks broken and nobody could prove anything.
00:36Is this Tom?
00:42Oh, no.
00:59Come on, Pixie.
01:00Quit stalling.
01:04Let's see this.
01:09It's a bit harder, Pix.
01:16Good one.
01:17I've got plenty of help for you guys.
01:18Look, I just can't concentrate.
01:19I have to just...
01:22Here.
01:23Much later.
01:24Do you think they'll find Karen yet?
01:26Well, they must have.
01:27I'll bet you right now the two of them are whooping it up in that suite.
01:30Oh, I hope so.
01:31So she's awfully worried Lyle might become.
01:34Oh, come on, love.
01:35You watch any minute now.
01:36She's gonna walk through that door a new woman.
01:39Hi.
01:40Did you get anything out of the PRG, lady?
01:42Yeah.
01:43Somehow, I wish I hadn't.
01:44Why?
01:45What happened?
01:46Stan told you it was right, love.
01:48According to some ex-Woodridge guys, Officer Len Murphy is big trouble.
01:51How bad?
01:52Male version of the freak.
01:55Apparently his wife ran off with another woman about five years ago.
01:59So he's got it in for lesbians.
02:01That's why he's got it in for the freak.
02:04God help us.
02:05I hope he doesn't think I'm one.
02:07We're still gonna set her up for him or are we gonna do it in a double whammy?
02:10Nah, wonder time, love.
02:11First the freak and then Murphy.
02:13I think the two of them together might be a bit hard to handle.
02:18Is there anything I can do?
02:21I'll get you.
02:27Look, how long am I expected to wait around while they dispose of Davy's body?
02:30Miss Ferguson, this isn't the time.
02:31My shift finished an hour ago.
02:33I've had to stand around while Forensic just...
02:34You can leave now.
02:38Yes.
02:40I'm sorry.
02:43I'm terribly sorry, Mr Davies.
02:45Miss Ferguson's been badly upset by the whole thing.
02:48I could have stopped her.
02:52Now Murphy and the freak are working tonight.
02:55So we do it before lockup, okay?
02:57Does it have to be me?
02:58Of course, it's gotta be you.
03:00What if I botch it up?
03:02You better not.
03:03Look out here comes the bent BJ.
03:04Good job.
03:05I haven't played Paul in years.
03:06How about again?
03:07Something wrong, Mrs. M?
03:10Who's the last person to see Karen Davies today?
03:11I think I was.
03:12And I saw her going towards the right suite.
03:13Why?
03:14You should have told one of the officers.
03:15Oh, she didn't try to escape, did she?
03:16I mean, well, she's all right, isn't she?
03:17No, I'm afraid not.
03:18She committed suicide.
03:19No.
03:20How?
03:21How?
03:22How?
03:23How?
03:24How?
03:25How?
03:26How?
03:27How?
03:28How?
03:29How?
03:30How?
03:31How?
03:32How?
03:33How?
03:34I don't.
03:35How?
03:36You don't smell good.
03:37How you hiding behind me or still I know you're going to watch the right suite.
03:38Why?
03:39You should have told one of the officers.
03:40Oh, she didn't try to escape, did she?
03:41I mean, she's all right, isn't she?
03:43No, I'm afraid not.
03:44She committed suicide.
03:45No!
03:46Well, hang itself.
03:49Would someone help me pack Karen's belongings?
03:51Pixie?
03:52Oh no, I just couldn't.
03:53I'll do it.
04:00It was my fault, Jude.
04:07They could have stopped her.
04:08Forget it, kid. It's not your fault.
04:10It's this stinking place.
04:12Yes, she'd have managed it somewhere, sometime.
04:15Obviously, the poor woman needed psychiatric treatment.
04:19You bloody hypocrite.
04:21Since when did you trouble yourself about people's needs?
04:25You sat up there, dishing out extended sentences,
04:28knocking back paroles.
04:30You never gave a damn what it did to them.
04:32Well, you are going to get a bloody good taste of it
04:35before you get out of here.
04:37If you get out of here.
04:44Silly, isn't it?
04:46We cling to photos as if our life depended on them.
04:49Well, they do in a way.
04:51It's the memory of happy times that gives us hope.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Poor bitch.
04:57Funny, she'd held on a bit longer.
05:01I should have realised she'd given up.
05:03How were you to know?
05:05How were any of us to know?
05:07Oh, there were signs.
05:09She was panicking that Lyle wouldn't come
05:11once he found out about his son.
05:12I was too caught up in prison politics
05:16to realise she needed support.
05:18You're not a psychologist.
05:19You can't be responsible for the woman's state of mind.
05:23Who else could have got close enough to her
05:25to know what she was going through?
05:27It's not your job.
05:28The department should have a trained counsellor on duty
05:31all the time.
05:32Well, but try and convince them of that.
05:35Well, not going to help her now, is it?
05:41The one who doesn't need helps her husband.
05:44Yes.
05:45Do you think Mrs Reynolds will let me see him?
05:48Might do some good.
05:49I don't think I could bear facing myself tonight.
05:56Yeah, well, why don't you bunk down in here
05:58if the screws say it's all right?
06:00Tell you one thing, I'll be buggered
06:01if I'll ever get myself in so deep with a bloke.
06:04Oh, don't be silly, Bob.
06:05It doesn't always turn out like that.
06:07My parents have been together for years
06:09and they still love each other.
06:10Your mum's never been inside.
06:12I'd like to see what would happen if she was.
06:14My dad would stick by her.
06:15I know that much.
06:17I don't know how she'd go in a place like this, though.
06:19I'd probably care.
06:20Exactly.
06:21Oh, well, you two stop it.
06:23Look, Karen is dead
06:24because she couldn't stand being apart from her lover.
06:27No, it's as simple as that,
06:28so let's not argue about it.
06:31Have you heard any more news, Jude?
06:34Well, the police are here.
06:35The ambulance have taken Karen away.
06:38Myra's gone to the governor's office
06:39to give our sympathies to Lyle.
06:41Oh, poor man.
06:42Well, maybe if he'd come to visit her more often,
06:44she'd still be alive.
06:45I just don't understand it.
06:47There must be a reason.
06:48I'm sure he loved her.
06:50Jude, you don't reckon our stupid chick
06:52outside the visiting suite
06:53had anything to do with it, do you?
06:55I don't know.
06:56We'll never know, will we?
06:59Forget it.
06:59She got over that.
07:00It had nothing to do with it.
07:02I hope not.
07:03I couldn't stand to think
07:04if we had something to do with it.
07:06Oh, Marlene, don't you start.
07:07You know something?
07:11I've seen a lot of death
07:12in this place over the years.
07:15Never prepares you for the next one.
07:16Go on, Marlene, don't you?
07:31Go on, Marlene.
08:04Yes?
08:29I've been wondering why you went so easy on me at the last hearing.
08:31I had my reasons.
08:33Like what?
08:34They're personal and had nothing to do with you.
08:37They did.
08:38You gave me the chance to get out and see some real friends.
08:41I owe you for that.
08:43There's no need.
08:45No one would have paid you to do it.
08:48So what was in it for you?
08:50Listen, you.
08:51Whether you spend six months or six years in here is of little interest to me.
08:56You're a loser.
08:58No matter what happens, you'll always finish up back in prison.
09:00It's all you're mentally equipped for.
09:03So don't patronise me.
09:04Well, I was going to try and talk everyone into giving you a second chance.
09:11You can forget all about that now.
09:15And anything else.
09:16Oh, yeah.
09:18And you can take all your fancy big words, too.
09:20And you can jam them sideways.
09:26Well, there's no way they can tell whether it was an accident or not.
09:29There were no witnesses.
09:30And judging by the impact, he was going very fast when he hit the tree.
09:34I should have known.
09:36I tried to persuade him not to drive himself home last night, but he insisted.
09:40Obviously, he'd made up his mind.
09:42No, the son's lost both of them.
09:44Do you want me to arrange to have some flowers sent to the funeral?
09:47Or what do you want written?
09:49Oh, just with deepest sympathy from all the women it went with.
09:53Ridiculous, isn't it?
09:55Two lives lost.
09:57That's all we can say.
09:58I had to go last night, love.
10:04Oh, I'm cold.
10:06Well, when you fall off a horse, the best thing to do is jump straight back into the saddle.
10:10Right.
10:11It's all on for this afternoon.
10:12Murphy's on split shift and might be until later.
10:15Ferguson's here all day.
10:16What are you talking about?
10:17Playing.
10:18I get the free.
10:20God, Mari, you're not going to do it now, not today.
10:22It's all set up.
10:23Why not?
10:24For God's sake, Curran's hardly cold there.
10:27Show a little respect.
10:28Look, mooning around the place and feeling miserable is not going to bring Curran back
10:32and it's not going to help us.
10:34Getting rid of the freak will.
10:37Now, I say it's on.
10:39Any questions?
10:42Marley?
10:44Good.
10:46Stick close.
10:47I'll give you the nod when the time comes.
10:49Oh, gosh, I'm glad I'm not top dog.
10:52I could never be that hard.
10:53All right, for her, she doesn't have to face the music.
10:56I wonder what finally did push her over the edge.
11:02Who knows?
11:04The state the poor woman must have been in.
11:06I mean, it would have only taken the wrong word at the wrong time.
11:09Yes, well, look, it's happened.
11:12It's over and done with.
11:13Let the pathologist do the post-mortem.
11:15We've got a prison to run.
11:16Only she'd waited another hour.
11:18She'd still be alive today and so would her husband.
11:20There's no point dwelling on it.
11:22It's not the first suicide we've had in here and it certainly won't be the last.
11:25It's not the suicide itself, it's the futile waste behind it.
11:29Good morning.
11:33Look, I heard about Karen and her husband.
11:37I should have been able to help her, eh?
11:39It's not even much good at helping anybody.
11:41Could have you done.
11:44I could have told her that when you love someone, that you trust them as well.
11:48Desmond, Bryant, Keane, Greenway, Mitchell, Mason and Warren to the laundry.
12:06Right, Officer Slattery, move them out.
12:08Miss Ferguson, do you think it's all right if Sam here sees the Governor this morning?
12:13Mother Hen found herself a new chick, has she?
12:15What's the matter, Greenway?
12:16Cat got your tongue?
12:17No, Miss Ferguson, it's just that Judy thought I might be able to...
12:19She's got a little few personal problems here.
12:21She asked me if I'd come along and explain to the Governor.
12:23You've turned into a real little prisoner's aid group all on your own, haven't you, Bryant?
12:27See what I can do.
12:29Move out.
12:29Thank you very much.
12:30Thanks, Mrs. Ferguson.
12:31Okay, the rest of you, move it out.
12:33Come on, hurry up.
12:35It's all covered with acne scars.
12:36It's not acne, it's just a couple of hints.
12:41Spare me a minute, Myra.
12:43Please.
12:44Listen, I want to explain that when I was the visiting director,
12:47Justice, it was just a job.
12:48A job that paid very well, as it turned out.
12:51There was never anything personal in the decisions I handed down.
12:54I just had to rely on the facts.
12:55Facts that rarely showed the truth.
12:58How was I to know that?
12:59I didn't know the women.
12:59You should have bloody found out a bit more about them before you handed down those sentences.
13:03It was hardly possible under the circumstances.
13:05Under the circumstances?
13:07You are very lucky that I've been able to keep them under control.
13:10How long can I expect the stupidity to go on?
13:14Oh, I'd relax and enjoy it if I were you.
13:15I think the women have got some very special plans for you.
13:19Oh, good morning.
13:32Ah, good morning, Meg.
13:33I just came in to have a word with Phil.
13:35Catch the man in action, so to speak.
13:37I'll get him for you.
13:39Look, I'm really sorry about the other night.
13:42It was a lousy trick, but I was genuinely trying to help.
13:46I know.
13:47The office always open if you feel the need to talk to someone.
13:50Thanks, Chris, but I think I'm getting things under control.
13:54Good.
13:54Can I see you again?
13:56Well, it'd be hard to avoid if you and Philip are such good friends.
14:00Be seeing you.
14:02I can certainly lodge your appeal with the department,
14:05and they'll arrange for your legal representation.
14:08Do you think it'll be long before I hear?
14:10Oh, I can't answer that.
14:11Depends how many cases are before the courts.
14:13Now, as far as locating your natural parents is concerned,
14:16we can apply for information from the welfare department straight away.
14:20You'd have to give me written authority
14:22and state your date and place of birth.
14:24Do you know that?
14:24Yes, I'll do that straight away.
14:26Thanks, Mrs. Reynolds.
14:26And is there any chance of her getting study release
14:29so she can go on with her art course?
14:31Oh, I'd have to put that to the department, too.
14:34Of course, you'd have to prove that you were cooperative and trustworthy.
14:37Of course.
14:38So don't expect an overnight decision.
14:40In the meantime, I can talk to Mr. Cleary
14:42and see if we can find somewhere for you to paint
14:44and get in some art materials.
14:45Oh, that would be wonderful.
14:47Thanks.
14:48See, I told you she wasn't an ogre.
14:51Well, only some of the time.
14:53Mrs. Slattery, would you wait outside with Greenway, please?
14:55I want to have a quick word with Bryant before you take them back.
15:02What's the Sarah Higgins situation?
15:05She's alive, if that's what you mean.
15:08I'm relying on you and Desmond to make sure it stays that way.
15:11Mrs. Reynolds, you know that I don't agree with violence in any form.
15:16Now, what Myra does is an entirely different matter.
15:18I won't be held responsible for her actions.
15:20Can I go?
15:24Yes.
15:29And you think guilt motivated him to suicide?
15:32Looks like it.
15:34The number of emotional disturbances that are directly attributed to guilt,
15:38this place must be a hotbed of it.
15:39Not as much as you might think.
15:41Most of the women here claim innocence,
15:42victims of circumstance, routine,
15:44or they took a chance and got caught.
15:46Oh, come on, that's a cop out there justifying their guilt.
15:49Not always.
15:51Tell you something, this would be an ideal place for study and research.
15:53It's a controlled environment.
15:54There's no outside interference.
15:56Hey, look, these are people in here, not cases.
15:59Yeah, of course.
15:59Look, could you arrange for me to have a quick tour of the place?
16:02Because you're me, mate.
16:03I use my considerable influence and see what I can arrange.
16:07Good.
16:07So all I have to do is give them my birth details
16:12and the welfare department to the rest.
16:13Oh, that's wonderful, you, Samantha.
16:15Does that mean you find out about your mum straight away?
16:17Yeah, well, I hope so.
16:18Oh, you will. No worries.
16:20I'm glad none of you are worried.
16:21How does it feel?
16:23Oh, shut up, Rabbit.
16:24Things aren't so bad for you.
16:25Oh, yeah, you're not the one in the hot seat.
16:27Luke Kelly gets out today and she swore to get me.
16:30She's not going to get anyone, so forget it.
16:33Shit.
16:33Myra, can I have a talk to you for a second?
16:39Free country.
16:40I, uh, I just wanted to let you know I'm not into drugs.
16:44Well, I'm not a drug pusher and I never have been.
16:47I just wanted to let you know.
16:55I believe her.
16:57You know, it wouldn't hurt to give her a go, Myra.
16:59We could use a few more supporters around here.
17:03Same coloured walls.
17:09Same coloured faces.
17:11See, the old place hasn't changed.
17:12I bet on it, Kelly.
17:13We've had an addition to the staff since you went on your little holiday.
17:16You're talking about Officer Murphy.
17:18I've already had the pleasure.
17:19You think I get a bit rough sometimes?
17:21Wait till you see him in action.
17:22Oh, he makes me look like little Mary Sunshine.
17:25Terrific.
17:26Yeah, he should take to you, Kelly.
17:28But with what, eh?
17:29That's the question.
17:30So in the interest of continuing harmony, I think we should work together to get rid of him.
17:36Causing you a few problems, is he?
17:38Let's just say we'd all be better off without him.
17:45All right, stop beating about the bush.
17:47What's the scam?
17:49Well, I think we should arrange to have you beaten up.
17:51Well, not too badly, of course, just so it looks good.
17:54Then I can arrange for him to take the blame.
17:57He'll be out of here before the ink is dry on his transfer.
18:00Oh?
18:01And just who did you have in mind to do the job on me?
18:04Forget it.
18:06Think it over.
18:06I could make it worth your while.
18:10No way.
18:11Well, I could put you in a position where he'd get at you anyway.
18:15It's best to do it my way and get some benefit from it, eh?
18:18What's that bitch doing in here?
18:20No, she got careless.
18:22She got caught accepting bribes and arranging early releases.
18:30What about using her as bait for your trap?
18:33You wouldn't have to dirty your hands at all.
18:34All you've got to do is make sure that we're close enough to here.
18:43Don't make it too obvious.
18:45As far as setups go, Lynn Murphy is no looking.
18:47Hey, you're going to be careless, aren't you?
18:49I could have been a screw.
18:50Yeah, but you weren't.
18:51Give me some credit, will you?
18:53You're going to go through with this today?
18:54I thought I made that clear.
18:56Company!
18:58...responsible not only for all the machinery,
18:59but they're taking outside contracts as well.
19:02Good morning, ladies.
19:03Good morning.
19:03This is Mr. Sutton.
19:04He's a friend of Mr. Keynes.
19:06Hi.
19:06G'day, Mr. Sutton.
19:08Good morning.
19:09You going to work here in the prison too?
19:10No, this is just a quick guided tour.
19:13Oh, what a shame.
19:15Uh, do you all work here all the time?
19:17Oh, yeah, well, I couldn't do without me.
19:18I can poll 40 of these in under a minute.
19:21How about that?
19:22Really?
19:22Yeah, you don't believe me, do you?
19:24I bet you five of them can.
19:24Oh, Warren, that's enough.
19:26Thanks.
19:26Back to work, ladies.
19:27You didn't know.
19:28I've still got a lot of ground.
19:29I'm standby.
19:30Good morning.
19:34Jeez, what the fuck?
19:35Aw.
19:36What the fuck?
19:37Hi. Remember me?
20:01No, I don't think so.
20:03Well, I remember you.
20:05Higgins, isn't it?
20:07Yes, that's right.
20:08Kelly.
20:09Louise Kelly.
20:11Name ring a bell?
20:13No.
20:14I was hauled in front of you three times.
20:16I'm sorry.
20:17I don't remember all the names and faces.
20:19We all looked the same to you, did we?
20:22Nothing but file numbers
20:23that kept you away from your game of golf
20:26or your afternoon tea parties.
20:29And all the time you were selling your favours
20:31to those rich bitches who could afford it.
20:33That's why you don't remember me.
20:35Because I was one of the poor bastards
20:37you never gave a second thought to.
20:39Now, you turn around and walk out of here
20:42or I'll rearrange your fees.
20:46So, the two Raktarts know cream puff.
20:50There are dozens of ways to fix you, Higgins.
20:51And I know them all.
21:01Group therapy?
21:02Yes.
21:03It'd allow them the opportunity to air their grievances
21:05and release aggression in a controlled situation.
21:07God knows that'd be a blessing.
21:09Well, all I'd need would be a suitable area
21:12and the assistance of one of your officers.
21:14Certainly sounds interesting.
21:15But knowing the department,
21:16I doubt whether they'd part with the money.
21:19Well, that's not a problem.
21:20I'm not after payment.
21:21I'm just trying to help.
21:22I'm quite prepared to offer my services
21:24on a voluntary basis, just like Philip.
21:26Well, as a matter of fact, that's changed.
21:28The department has at last approved his position.
21:31Oh, good.
21:32I know how keen he is.
21:34Well, what do you think?
21:35I think it's definitely worth putting to them.
21:41Where's Mara?
21:42Dracoff.
21:44Has Mara been in yet?
21:48Have you seen Mara?
21:50Oh, who?
21:51What's that funny smell?
21:52I think someone's been fertilising the pot plant.
21:55Oh, it's only mad at lunch.
22:01I have to speak to you.
22:03There's nothing more to say.
22:04You can see where you stand.
22:06I never expected it to be easy.
22:08But I did expect to be dealing with adults.
22:14My initial opinion of you was right.
22:17You're nothing more than a pack of stupid,
22:19narrow-minded delinquents.
22:21And you deserve everything you've got.
22:24Got your jug with you?
22:25Okay, drop it.
22:26I said drop it!
22:28Now get out of here, Higgins.
22:30That bitch has got to be chopped when I say so.
22:32Now anything happens to her and we all face another VJ and an extended sentence.
22:38Do you want to give the department that satisfaction?
22:40You're going soft, Desmond.
22:42Try me.
22:44Now scare her if you like.
22:46I don't give a damn.
22:47But no one,
22:49no one lays a finger on her.
22:51Understand?
22:52It's bad luck about Davies' husband,
23:02but I've got no time for people that can't take it.
23:04Perhaps not everyone's as strong as you.
23:07Oh, maybe, but
23:07no need to drop your bundle.
23:10She put herself into Wentworth.
23:11I know that.
23:13But there should be somewhere
23:14for people like Davies and Young Greenway
23:16to go instead of mixing with hardened criminals.
23:18Can't see the difference meself.
23:20The law's the law.
23:21If they want to break it,
23:22they've got to cop the consequences.
23:24Well, come off it, Len.
23:25Even the courts take extenuating circumstances into account.
23:28Too soft.
23:30It's easy for a crim to get up in front of a judge
23:32and say it was all a mistake.
23:33Haven't you any compassion at all?
23:36Of course I have.
23:37But you have a look at the court list any day
23:39and you'll see that most of them are wogs or fairies.
23:42What's that got to do with it?
23:43Everything.
23:44Keep the wogs out of the country,
23:45lock up all the fairies,
23:47and Australia would be a better place to live in.
23:49Well, why stop there?
23:50Why don't you lock up everyone who wears jeans
23:52or drives a foreign car?
23:55You know, you're a good officer.
23:57And you do a good job.
23:59But you can't treat prisoners like ordinary people.
24:03Why's that?
24:05You can't afford to be too lenient.
24:06If we had a man here for governor, you'd know what I mean.
24:10You don't approve of Mrs Reynolds, then?
24:12Well, she's a nice lady.
24:14Kind, efficient.
24:15But she doesn't seem to grasp the need
24:17for good, strong discipline the way a bloke would.
24:20Well, what sort of jobs do you think
24:22women officers could do adequately?
24:24Oh, you know, clerical work, typing.
24:27You're good at that sort of thing.
24:29You ought to make some suggestions to Mrs Reynolds.
24:32I'm sure she'd be very interested.
24:34I already have.
24:36It's just something I need to take my mind
24:40off of all the money I'm making.
24:42And it might be a good tax don't.
24:44Come on, get out.
24:47You know, it's a good thing that I know
24:48you're really a soft touch.
24:49Hey, there's no need to tell everyone.
24:52Sure you won't change your mind about lunch?
24:54No way, Jose.
24:55I have a date with Veronica
24:56and a very nice bottle of red.
24:58But you could give my best to Meg.
25:00You've got good taste there.
25:01Hey, don't expect an argument from me on that.
25:03I don't.
25:04Just let's hope the Governor gets in touch soon
25:05so I can come and hassle you some more.
25:07Oh, see you soon.
25:14Okay, it's time.
25:16What's the matter?
25:17What are you thinking?
25:18I'm terrified.
25:20Look, come on, you're going to be fine.
25:21I just keep thinking if it's not going to work,
25:23she's going to see right through me.
25:25Tell you what, I will bet you one dollar
25:27that she's got her hands on that money
25:28within a minute of seeing it.
25:31You're on.
25:34You ready?
25:44You get them in a lot of trouble, you know that?
25:47Yeah.
25:47Got any other ideas?
25:49Look, if you don't want to help,
25:50just stay out of it, okay?
25:51Right.
25:51How'd the book go today, Rabbit?
25:56Oh, really good.
25:57Must be more money around than we thought.
25:59Oh, how much did you take in?
26:00About 26 bucks.
26:05Hang on, Desmond.
26:06We'll do a cutlery count on those.
26:08Sure.
26:08From now on, every mealtime,
26:12we'll do a count the same as Woodridge.
26:14Right.
26:17How are you fitting in at Wentworth?
26:20Oh, that's a job.
26:21Same as anywhere else.
26:23An officer can have it pretty easy in here
26:25if he keeps in with the right people.
26:27Oh, yeah?
26:28Yeah, between you and me,
26:30we're getting a bit tired of Ferguson.
26:31She can't play it straight anymore.
26:33How would you like to pick up a piece of her action?
26:36Now, you listen to me, Desmond.
26:38I play it straight.
26:40Right down the line.
26:41You got that?
26:42Yeah.
26:43There'll be no more rackets in Wentworth
26:45as long as I'm working here.
26:46And Ferguson already knows that.
26:49I don't think he made it clear enough.
26:52She's in the cell right now,
26:53ripping Warren off.
26:54Trying to keep the top dog
27:11between you and the freak, eh?
27:15Paid your mum a visit.
27:17She sends her love.
27:18Yeah, I know all about that.
27:19Especially what you did to my mum.
27:22So don't try leaning on me.
27:23Why shouldn't I?
27:24It was your stupid idea
27:25that had me facing a murder charge.
27:27You knew what you were getting into.
27:29You took the risk.
27:30If you'd seen Deidre,
27:31you must have got me message to fix Warren.
27:33So how come you didn't?
27:35Because I don't take orders from you.
27:37Oh, you think you're real smart, don't you?
27:39Well, I've got news for you.
27:40You got me into this mess
27:42and I'm going to see you pay for it.
27:44You know, you've only got one problem, Lou.
27:47Your brain.
27:47And I've got this place, Sona.
27:52Yeah?
27:53Shacking up with Myra
27:54won't stop the freak from getting even.
27:56I've fixed that.
27:57She won't touch me.
27:58I've got Alice and Frances in my pocket
27:59and Myra and the girls.
28:02They think I've seen the error of my ways.
28:04Oh, so what?
28:06So I can run drugs, booze, anything I'd like.
28:09As long as our precious top dog
28:11doesn't find out I'm behind it.
28:12Oh, fat chance.
28:14Murphy and the freak will be onto it for sure.
28:16They're too busy playing cat and mouse.
28:17So what's to stop me doing it?
28:19Who says I need you?
28:20I do.
28:21And you know I've got the money to set it up.
28:24What makes you think I'd trust you
28:25after what you did to me?
28:27You ripped off two grand of mine, Lou.
28:29I'd say that makes us dead square.
28:32You'd better make up your mind
28:33whether you're in or not.
28:35Or I might just decide to take my offer elsewhere.
28:37The freak.
28:54Warren?
28:56What have we got here?
29:00I wasn't hiding it from you, Miss Ferguson.
29:02Better not be, Warren,
29:03because we've got a business arrangement.
29:04I don't like people holding out on me.
29:06I wouldn't do that, Miss Ferguson.
29:07That's very good, Warren,
29:08because you know what happens to people who cross me.
29:11What's going on here?
29:13Not my fault, Mr Murphy.
29:15Miss Ferguson was making me run a book.
29:16That's rubbish, Warren.
29:18I caught you red-handed with this money.
29:19Now, you know the rules.
29:20You're on a charge.
29:21Forget it.
29:23I'll just take this to the governor.
29:26You won't get out of this one, Ferguson.
29:40I should have seen the looks
29:41the freak and Murphy were giving each other.
29:43They would have shriveled anybody human.
29:45How come he let you go?
29:46I don't know,
29:46but I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
29:48I really thought I was a goner.
29:51Warren,
29:51I still owe you, remember?
29:53Lay off, Kelly.
29:55You did a good job, love.
29:56Thanks.
29:57Bloody ripper, I reckon.
29:58Yeah, I reckon it was pretty good, too.
30:00Well, I'll say one thing for you.
30:02You've got a lot of guts.
30:03Let's hope the plan works
30:04so you can keep on.
30:07You owe me a dollar anyway.
30:09I'll probably have the freak there for a minute
30:10before she got me.
30:11All right, I'll take your word for it.
30:13Yeah, you've got to spend up real big in the pound.
30:16All right, so I'll get a day or two in solitary.
30:19It'd be worth it to get rid of the freak, though.
30:21Wouldn't it?
30:22Yeah, as long as she doesn't weasel out of it, as usual.
30:24Well, how can she?
30:25Murphy's got it over.
30:27One down and one to go.
30:29Trouble is, Murphy's not going to be so easy to fix.
30:32Well,
30:33likes to rough people up a bit.
30:34Couldn't we get him on the assault charge?
30:36Yeah, indecent assault, maybe.
30:38You lot have done it on I thought
30:39if you think you got rid of Ferguson.
30:41When it comes to conniving,
30:42she's got tricks no one's even heard of yet.
30:43Yeah, but Murphy saw her with the money in her hand.
30:46She can't beat that, can she?
30:49Yep, even the freak could find that hard.
30:51Don't bet on it.
30:52She started working on dumping Murphy
30:53as soon as he got here.
30:54Oh, yeah, how do you know?
30:55Because she tried to ring me in, didn't she?
30:57Wanted me to do her dirty work for her.
30:59But I told her to shove it.
31:00Funny.
31:01Thought you'd do anything to get back in Ferguson's good books.
31:03I don't need her.
31:04I never did.
31:06And besides,
31:07Murphy might have been boss cocky round Woodridge.
31:09But that's not here, is it?
31:11You might be right.
31:13For once.
31:14Put your money where your mouth is, Warren.
31:16I'll put everything I've got on Ferguson
31:17to come up smelling like roses.
31:19You'll have more than me after you then, won't you?
31:23And I'll make a bet with you, Callie.
31:26You lay one finger on my way.
31:29And I'll bet that you end up with a few broken bones.
31:33Are you quite certain Miss Ferguson was dealing with Warren?
31:39Yes, Governor.
31:40I heard Officer Ferguson say she had a business arrangement with Warren
31:44and expected a cut.
31:45You couldn't have misinterpreted?
31:47Oh, no.
31:48Look, I'm sorry, Mrs Reynolds.
31:49I don't like to report a fellow officer,
31:51but I can't ignore corruption.
31:53I wouldn't expect you to, Mr Murphy.
32:00Come in, Miss Ferguson.
32:03I want you to repeat what you told me a few minutes ago.
32:09Certainly, Governor.
32:10I left the dining room after the lunch period
32:13and went to patrol the corridors.
32:15It was then that I saw Officer Murphy with the prisoner Warren.
32:18Now, just a minute.
32:19Let Miss Ferguson finish, please.
32:21At first, they didn't see me approach.
32:24Warren was handing money over to Officer Murphy.
32:27He then said,
32:28in future, make sure it's on time.
32:31It was apparent to me that he was receiving commission
32:33for some sort of illicit business transaction.
32:36You bloody liar.
32:37Mr Murphy.
32:39Warren saw me then and ran off down the corridor.
32:41I was concerned with getting the evidence from Officer Murphy.
32:45Why didn't you?
32:47Officer Murphy became quite physical, Governor.
32:51He pushed me against the wall
32:52and said that if I didn't forget what I'd seen,
32:55he'd hand the money over to you
32:57and I would get the blame for it.
32:59That's a pack of lies to save her own skin.
33:02My record's clean.
33:03There's never been any suggestion of corruption.
33:06So where do we go from here, Governor?
33:09I'm going to question Warren.
33:10Yeah, as well as my belief
33:11that the other women have put her up to this
33:13to get rid of two officers.
33:16I'll be the judge of that.
33:18Now, do either of you have any objection
33:20to my questioning Warren?
33:22Not me, Governor.
33:23Heads, I win.
33:27Tails, you lose, eh, Warren?
33:28I don't see no future for Marlene the Dill.
33:31If the freak don't get her, Big Murphy will.
33:33Ignore her, Rabbit.
33:33She's all mouth.
33:34Yeah, but the freak and Murphy won't be.
33:36Oh, drop dead, Lou.
33:38You ever saw the excitement?
33:39No way.
33:40I'll add one thing from Warren, though.
33:42I've got to keep sweet with Murphy and Ferguson.
33:44That way I've got to be on the winning team.
33:46I'm going to plug in it, Callie,
33:48or I'll do it for you.
33:48Oh, is the big tough top dog
33:50going to give me a thumping?
33:51Shut your trap or I'll do it for you.
33:53Screw it.
33:57Warren, you want to buy the governor?
34:00Come on, move it.
34:02Break a leg, Warren.
34:03Lay off, Callie.
34:05How do you reckon she'll go, Myron?
34:07She'll be okay.
34:09Reno's always been fair.
34:11Well, Lou's right about one thing.
34:14It's not the governor
34:14that Marlene has to be frightened of.
34:20Warren's here, Governor.
34:21Bring her in, please.
34:22Warren?
34:23Could you wait outside, Mrs. Brown?
34:27Come here.
34:30Just look at me, Warren.
34:31Warren, I'm sure you know what this is all about,
34:34so I just want you to tell me the truth.
34:36Truth?
34:38You have my word that you won't be in any trouble
34:41as long as you tell me the facts.
34:42Sorry, Mrs. Reynolds, I don't know what you're talking about.
34:44I don't know what you're talking about, honestly.
34:46Don't play games with me, Warren.
34:48Warren, you were seen giving money to an officer.
34:50Which one was it?
34:52Money?
34:53You know we're not allowed to have money, Mrs. Reynolds.
34:56There is money amongst the women, whether it's allowed or not.
34:59And I'm fully aware that you're running a book.
35:01Yes, I was running a book, but I couldn't have been giving money to anyone.
35:06Mrs. Morris took every cent I had.
35:08You've had plenty of time to build up your kitty again.
35:10Yes, but I haven't taken a bet since Mrs. Morris sprung me.
35:13I know when I'm beat.
35:15Warren, I know better.
35:18I don't feel well.
35:20Tell me who it was and you can go.
35:24All right.
35:27I saw Miss Ferguson fighting with Mr. Murphy over some money,
35:31but I didn't have anything to do with it.
35:33He's lying.
35:34I don't want to get anyone in trouble.
35:38You must realise that it's in your own best interest to resolve this now.
35:42I don't know anything, Mrs. Reynolds. Honestly.
35:45Is that all you've got to say?
35:48Yes.
35:49I think I'm going to be sick.
35:53So, how do you feel about it?
35:55It's done.
35:55I just didn't expect a suggestion like that.
35:57Why not?
35:58It just doesn't seem to fit, that's all.
35:59Look, I just want you to meet my parents.
36:01It's not as though I'll be seeking their approval or anything.
36:03Well, that might be a good thing.
36:05Come on now, love you, Meg.
36:06Well, as long as they don't think that this is a prelude to a wedding.
36:10So?
36:11Are you going to answer my question?
36:13Thanks.
36:14Yes, I'd very much like to meet your parents.
36:16Good, I'll arrange it.
36:18You don't even think this is the end of it.
36:19Really?
36:21I think I'd better go back to work.
36:22Yeah, I mean, better get my softball gear together.
36:26I wouldn't bother.
36:26There'll be no playtime today.
36:28Why not?
36:29I've got the girls for a class after work.
36:30Teach them something useful.
36:35Don't try belittling me in front of other people, Murphy.
36:38You haven't seen anything yet.
36:39Oh, use what brains you've got and take it as a warning and mind your own business.
36:43It's my business when someone tries to make me look bent.
36:45That's what you get for setting me up.
36:47I didn't have to.
36:48I had your cold.
36:49Then quit while you're ahead.
36:51No way.
36:51The department will back me every time.
36:53My record's clean.
36:54Then I suggest if you want it to stay like that, you keep out of my way.
36:59Don't you try and bluff me.
37:02I've dealt with your sort before.
37:03You might like to think so.
37:06There's one thing I can't stand.
37:07It's a crooked officer.
37:08And I won't have one in my prison.
37:11You're forgetting something, Murphy.
37:13This isn't your prison.
37:16Wentworth is mine.
37:18And it's going to stay that way.
37:20What are you up to, Kelly?
37:32Nothing.
37:33I've just been in the toot.
37:34You sure?
37:36Yeah, I'd never forget a thing like that.
37:38Don't get smart with me, Kelly.
37:40I'll put you on a charge.
37:42Now get moving.
37:44Sorry.
37:45Sorry what?
37:47Sorry, sir.
37:49That's better.
37:50Well?
37:56There's something you should know.
37:58What?
37:59Look, I don't want to cause any trouble or get myself in strife or nothing, but I just...
38:03Just get on with it, Kelly.
38:06Okay.
38:07Miss Ferguson's got it in for you.
38:09I sure think I know that.
38:11I've worked in more prisons and you've had hot dinners.
38:13I know what's going on.
38:15Oh, right.
38:16Then you'll know she tried to get me on side to set you up.
38:19How?
38:20Wanted me to cop a passion and lay it on you.
38:23What are you lagging for?
38:24It's not lagging.
38:25She's not one of us.
38:26And besides, we've had a gut full of her.
38:29I'd rather see her out of here than you.
38:30Makes sense.
38:32Is that all?
38:34Well, so far, just thought you ought to know.
38:36So, now I know you can get back to the laundry.
38:39Just like that?
38:41What do you expect?
38:42A good conduct medal.
38:43I just gave you a chance to cover your back.
38:46Would there be something in it for me?
38:48You're just like all the other animals on this side of the bars.
38:50Every time you do something for someone, you expect a pat on the head or a good O.
38:54I wouldn't kill you to say thanks.
38:57Thanks.
38:59Now get your bum back in that laundry or I'll charge you for loitering.
39:02Yes, sir.
39:08You what?
39:09I couldn't go through with it.
39:12I'm scared silly.
39:14Through the plan, out the bloody window.
39:16I couldn't help it, Myra.
39:17They were both just there staring at me.
39:20I couldn't remember what to say.
39:21All you had to say was what we worked out and the freak would have been out on her ear.
39:25Yeah, well, I know.
39:26I just forgot.
39:27I was too busy packing it.
39:29I thought I was going to be sick all over the guv's office.
39:31Bloody hell.
39:32Oh, I'll take it easy, Myra.
39:34Serves you right for trusting the gutless time to carry it through.
39:37Rabbit's not gutless.
39:38She did her best.
39:38Yeah, well, it's not good enough, is it?
39:40Best laid plans of mice and men?
39:43Take it easy, Myra.
39:44She feels bad enough.
39:45She's going to feel a lot worse.
39:47Look, I don't give a stuff about the plan, Faye Lee.
39:50Really?
39:52Well, then what are you so uptight about?
39:54I set it up to protect Rabbit from the freak.
39:57Now that she hasn't dobbed the freak in, she's got Murphy after her as well.
40:00Well, what are we going to do?
40:06We have to protect her.
40:0724 hours a day.
40:09I know Mr. Murphy has an unfortunate manner, but I think he means well.
40:19Unfortunate?
40:20He's ignorant, bigoted, and bloody rude.
40:22Now calm down, Philip.
40:24Will it really do so much harm for the women to miss softball and learn how to do a few simple household jobs?
40:31No, but it's only the beginning.
40:33Look, I've done a lot of work to get the women interested in softball, and if Murphy has his way, it's all going to go down the drain.
40:38I doubt it.
40:38I am still running, Wentworth.
40:40Well, I'm glad to hear it.
40:42You may also be glad to hear that the department's finally approved your appointment.
40:47You're now on staff, and they're backdating your salary to when you first came here.
40:51Great, that's really great.
40:53Look, I'm not going to pretend that the money isn't important, but the real reason I'm at Wentworth is to help the women.
40:59If I'm not allowed to do that, then I'd just as soon not be here.
41:02Well, then, it's not the sort of job you could do well, is it?
41:06I'll have to think of something.
41:07Look, I'm just going to the loo.
41:08I'll come with you, love.
41:10Jude, I can go to the loo by myself, all right?
41:13Someone's got to be with you all the time.
41:14You might as well get used to that idea.
41:16Oh, jeez.
41:17Oh.
41:18Jude.
41:19Oh, what do you want?
41:20I just want to talk to you.
41:21I don't butt my head off.
41:22I'm sorry.
41:23It's just, I'm really worried about Marlene.
41:25Yeah, I know.
41:26So am I.
41:27Especially lock-up time.
41:32Lost your bodyguard, Warren.
41:39What do you want?
41:40It's ain't the fish and ship shop, is it, stupid?
41:42Oh, you can go first if you like.
41:44Oh, I couldn't do that.
41:45You were here ahead of me.
41:47Wouldn't want me to forget me manners now, would you?
41:49Nah, go ahead.
41:50I've gone off the boil.
41:52Oh, what a pity.
41:53Good fright helps sometimes.
41:55It's all right.
41:56I've changed my mind.
41:58I was surprised to find you in one piece when I got back.
42:00I thought you would have copped it by now for fouling up me chances to get out of here.
42:04Because of you, I copped an extra six charges.
42:06You lay off me.
42:08Marlene Jude will get you.
42:10Oh, funny.
42:11I don't see him around.
42:13And I reckon when they do find you, they'll put the blame on Murphy.
42:16Another freak.
42:20I seem to have run out of prison station.
42:22You could have some, please.
42:24Will this be enough, Mrs Reynolds?
42:26Yes, plenty.
42:27Should have a fresh delivery tomorrow, the day after.
42:29Oh, speaking of deliveries, there's a package here for you.
42:32I meant to bring it in before, but I forgot.
42:34Sorry.
42:34It's all right.
42:48What is it?
42:52A dead rat.
42:54Oh, Marlene, you silly bitch.
43:09Where's Warren?
43:11Oh, I don't know.
43:12Don't try and put it over me, Bryant.
43:14I want Warren.
43:14Where is she?
43:16Why don't you leave that kid alone?
43:17It wasn't her idea.
43:18She just did as she was told.
43:20Where is she?
43:20I don't know.
43:29Fancy you yourself, do you?
43:31Let me out of here again.
43:33You perverted bitches are all the same.
43:35Always picking on the young girls.
43:37I can't stand dykes.
43:39Can't take the competition, can you?
43:41He used to give me roses.
43:58I wish he could again.
44:01But that was on the outside, and things were different then.
44:12On the inside, the sun still shines, and the rain falls down.
44:22But the sun and rain are Christmas too, when morning comes around.
44:32Last night I dreamed we were together, sharing all the love for it more.
44:42Till I had to face the nightmare, of waking up alone.
44:52On the inside the roses grow, they don't lie on the stony ground.
45:02But the roses here are Christmas too, when morning comes around.
45:11When morning comes around.
45:13When morning comes around.
45:32When morning comes around.
