00:00Get it, idiots!
00:07Hello, police!
00:10You know, it's strange that Bryant never married.
00:14Not many lesbians do, I suppose.
00:16See you tomorrow.
00:19I want you to cook up a little accident for Red King.
00:23What if she gets hurt?
00:25That's unreal fast, don't you?
00:27Miss Brooks, no, no, no, I can't.
00:30I can't do this, no.
00:31You'll do as I tell you, Proctor,
00:33because I can have you thrown out of here any time I choose.
00:35What did he say his name was?
00:37Lynn Murphy. Why?
00:40You stay away from him.
00:43He's a wicked, sadistic man.
00:57Pete, where have you been?
01:01Your Uncle Ray's been frantic with nowhere near Ray.
01:04I mean, leave it this letter.
01:05Pete, what are you doing?
01:06You read it later.
01:07Don't get in a tease.
01:08I'm just putting it into your...
01:10It smells nice.
01:11Roses!
01:12And here I was thinking,
01:14the letter is one from your big boyfriend.
01:17No, it's from...
01:19It's from Mummy.
01:21Oh, I'm sorry, but we'll read it then.
01:24No, it's alright, I'll read it later.
01:27I'll go and start porridge.
01:30Pete, we're cooking dinner.
01:34Porridge is breakfast.
01:35Oh, golly, is it that time already?
01:38Is everything okay?
01:40Oh, yes, I'm fine.
01:41I'm just being a bit silly, that's all.
01:44You don't look too happy, though.
01:46Perhaps I should be helping you.
01:48I don't want to worry you with me.
01:51Well, come on, you make me angry.
01:52Now, what's the problem?
01:57Well, what would you do if someone would force you into doing something bad?
02:05You mean really bad?
02:07Yes, the worst kind of bad.
02:10Well, I suppose I'd go and talk to somebody about it.
02:12You know, like a policeman.
02:13Oh, no, God forbid.
02:15Well, Myra's awfully good, or Mrs Reynolds.
02:17Mrs Reynolds?
02:18Yes, that's a wonderful idea.
02:19Go and talk to Mrs Reynolds about it.
02:21Yeah, Pete.
02:22Come on.
02:23Let's get the dinner ready, hmm?
02:25Let's get the dinner ready.
02:26The department's just been on the phone to say Kelly's been picked up.
02:32Yeah?
02:33Where was she?
02:34Adelaide.
02:35Couldn't pay a bill in a restaurant, apparently.
02:37I'm surprised she could read the menu.
02:39Makes you wonder what they use for brains sometimes, doesn't it?
02:42Oh, by the way, how's Stan getting along?
02:45According to the hospital, he'll be fine, but I'm afraid his days at Wentworth are over.
02:49So are his chances of getting Mitchell released?
02:52Good.
02:53Early release just makes a joke of the court's decision in my book.
02:57Yeah, well, look, I'm pleased to hear he's coming along well, but I think he's going to do it a lot quicker with Mitchell here where she belongs.
03:04I doubt it.
03:06And I didn't have the heart to tell him that he's under investigation for the Neville Sloan business.
03:10You can't be serious.
03:12Why?
03:13I hired him at Stan's request.
03:16I think Stan felt guilty of getting the job over Sloan.
03:19That'd be right.
03:20He was always a soft touch at Woodridge.
03:22He was a good officer, Mr. Murphy.
03:25Sure, but there's more to being a good officer than winning the popularity stakes.
03:31It'll be at least a day before Kelly returns.
03:33She has to appear in an Adelaide court to be extradited.
03:35Could you get a cell ready for him, Miss Ferguson?
03:37Certainly.
03:38You know, I'm all for raising the level of security after this escape teaches the others a lesson.
03:46Well, at least we agree on something.
03:49A prison's a prison.
03:51Listen, I don't want to sound like a grouch, but I'm starting to get a bit confused.
03:55I mean, it was your idea that we have lessons in economics, not mine.
03:58Oh, hang on. It wasn't my idea.
04:00Shut up, Alice. We do want lessons, Mr. Cleary.
04:03It's just that, at the moment, everyone's really worried about Stan.
04:07Come on, Marlene. Look, if you don't learn to live off the doll, you're going to end up straight back in here.
04:12Why don't you take this opportunity?
04:13Give it a rest, Myra.
04:15Oh, don't you think I care, Jude? But what would Stan want us to do?
04:18Yeah, well, maybe you're right, but at least we want to do something for him.
04:23Why don't we all get out the art stuff and make him a great big get-well card, eh?
04:28Would you take it for us, Mr. Cleary?
04:30May as well. I might get in anywhere here.
04:32Great, let's do it. Straight after tea.
04:34Wait, hang on. I can't do it tonight, though. I'm going to a party.
04:37Hey, you can take me, if you like. You have to keep yourself nice, Basha.
04:40He is keeping himself nice. He's taking Mrs. M, aren't you, Mr. Cleary?
04:44I'll see you ladies tomorrow, eh? Bye.
04:46Hi, Bobby.
04:47Hey, Bobby! How did it go?
04:49How is it, love?
04:50Oh, it's okay. Stop crowding, will ya?
04:52Yeah, but we're only asking.
04:53So I told you, now, will you leave me alone?
04:55Well, honey, we care about Stan too, you know.
04:57He is all right, isn't he?
04:58It's going to be okay. Sorry I yelled at you. I don't want to talk.
05:02Oh, that's all right, love. We understand.
05:05Better leave her alone, huh?
05:07Well, she needs cheering up and I've got just the thing back in the cell.
05:13You all right?
05:15Oh, yes. I'm sorry, Mrs. Reynolds. It was just a little unexpected, that's all.
05:20Are you sure that's what the doctor said?
05:22Yes, this is his report.
05:25Um...
05:27Davy's progesterone level is reduced significantly in a very short period of time.
05:32Taking this plus her emotional state into consideration, I think we can safely diagnose...
05:37Yes, well, I think I agree with that.
05:39It makes sense, doesn't it?
05:41See those tablets, the antidepressants?
05:43Well, they worked so well.
05:45You're not upset?
05:46No, no, I'm not.
05:48I'm in change of life, that's all. It's natural, isn't it?
05:51Though I would like to see Lyle and tell him myself.
05:54Well, I did phone, but he wasn't back from Sydney.
05:57Don't worry, I'll try again tomorrow morning.
06:01You surprise me, Warren, you really do.
06:08What makes you think you can run a book in here without me finding out?
06:12Not me, Miss Ferguson.
06:14Oh, really?
06:15And how did you pay Proctor for the goods he smuggled in?
06:18And don't try to tell me he didn't.
06:20I don't care what you do to me.
06:22Please don't put Ray in.
06:24Oh, Warren, I don't lag on people, especially if they can be of some use to me.
06:28And as far as I'm concerned, you are Wentworth's bookie.
06:32In fact, I've got your first tip of the day for you.
06:35Kelly was picked up in Adelaide this afternoon.
06:38Why don't you run a book on that?
06:40Oh, I couldn't do that, I wouldn't be honest.
06:42I don't need money that much.
06:44Oh, yes you do, Warren, because you've got overheads.
06:48Me.
06:49How much?
06:5050% of the take, not the profit.
06:54The take?
06:55I can't afford-
06:56Oh, yes you can, Warren.
06:57Otherwise your friend, Ray, is going to be in a whole lot of trouble.
07:03Understand?
07:13Get out of your brain, Warren.
07:15Lou's gone for good.
07:16There's no way they're going to catch her now.
07:17Yeah, well, let's see your money.
07:19I reckon she's going to get it today and I'll give you a tender one.
07:22Heavens, that's a lot.
07:24You must be awfully sure, Martin, how do you know?
07:26It hasn't been on the radio, has it?
07:28Why?
07:29Call it bookie's intuition.
07:31Sounds more like bunny's intuition.
07:33I reckon Alice is right, you're up here.
07:34Yeah.
07:35What if I join you?
07:36Fine.
07:37I've got something to tell you anyway.
07:38Good.
07:39I thought you might have still been nasty on me.
07:42No.
07:43I've got what I deserve.
07:44I told that to the other women too, so you don't have to worry about it.
07:49I won't.
07:50I won't.
07:51I won't.
07:52And thanks.
07:53Now, if there's something troubling you, I want to hear about it.
07:54And don't tell me there's not, because it's written all over your face.
07:55Stan.
07:56Well, what about him?
07:57It's not fair.
07:58I'd never be able to go and stay with him now.
08:16It's not fair.
08:21It's not fair.
08:25Don't throw the towel in you, love.
08:26That's not all.
08:29Stan's really worried about us.
08:31How come?
08:33The new screw.
08:34Stan said he's a real bastard.
08:37Yeah, well, don't you worry about it.
08:39They work together.
08:40Stan reckons he'd kill you as soon as he'd look at you,
08:42no matter whether you're a screw or a creeper.
08:45Well, if he's that bad, we'll find out soon enough, won't we?
08:48Bad or right, Stan wouldn't have said anything.
08:51No, he wouldn't.
08:52We're going to make the freak look like a nun.
08:56What are we going to do?
09:01Look, you really should get down there.
09:03The gear's just stunning.
09:04Oh, I know, but Danny's a bit tight with the purse strings at the moment.
09:07You haven't been upsetting me yet, have you?
09:08Well, he wasn't too pleased when I hit the fire under his murk.
09:11Oh, he made a dreadful dink.
09:17Oh, thanks, Chris.
09:19Well, you may be on the wagon, mate, but I'm not.
09:21Yeah, well, my budget just won't expand that far at the moment.
09:23Oh, you'll shout next time, all right?
09:25It's a promise.
09:26Hey, uh, you notice, Gina?
09:28She's been giving you the eye, mate.
09:30I think you're on a winner there if you bomb out with Meg.
09:32Chris.
09:34You're a bit touchy, aren't you?
09:36Yeah, relax, mate.
09:37I'll straighten her out.
09:38I think I'm counting on you.
09:39Have I ever let you down before?
09:41No, no, no, no.
09:42Don't shout at my confidence before I've begun.
09:44You will tread gently, won't you?
09:45Of course.
09:46If she ever gets here.
09:48Meg will be here, all right?
09:49She's a dependable type.
09:50Of course she is.
09:51To Meg.
09:56Never thought I'd be grateful to the police,
09:58but they owed me some money today when they caught Lou.
10:00Still like to know how you were so bloody sure.
10:03Yeah.
10:03I just think she's awfully clever, that's all.
10:05You'd be the only one.
10:06Okay, bye-up time.
10:08Oh, bye-up time.
10:09You know, it's a bit of a change for me
10:26having that lipstick and cosmetics at buy-up.
10:29Wasted on this lot.
10:30I don't know.
10:31As long as it makes them behave themselves.
10:33Oh, they'll behave themselves today.
10:34You see, they haven't had buy-up for quite a while.
10:37Good.
10:38Useful little weapon, buy-up.
10:40Now you see it, now you don't.
10:42Couldn't agree more.
10:43Come on, let's get to it.
10:45Okay, you lot, line up and do it quietly.
10:47Hey, am I going to get a chance to get some of me money back?
10:50Yeah, sure.
10:51What race?
10:52Bugger the GGs.
10:53You still running that Bible paper?
10:56Yeah, Picks.
10:56Yeah.
10:57The Bible stuff, okay?
10:58Oh, yeah, yeah, just this one.
11:00We'll get a Bible later, okay?
11:01No need to.
11:02Got it written down.
11:03Cop this.
11:04Picks, listen to this.
11:05It was the best of times.
11:06It was the worst of times.
11:08It was the age of wisdom.
11:10It was the age of foolishness.
11:12What's it from?
11:13Pixie?
11:14Hmm?
11:14What's it from?
11:15Oh, I don't know.
11:15Gosh, we said, hurry, I'm dying for my chocolate.
11:19Pixie?
11:19Where's it from?
11:21Like I said, Marlene, I don't know.
11:23I'm ruined.
11:26Hiya.
11:27I'm coming in.
11:28You're not, James.
11:30You having a good time?
11:31Ah, sometimes it's gorgeous.
11:38Hey, it's great to see you.
11:39Come on in.
11:40I wish I was able to say it.
11:42It's great to be here.
11:43But I'm ready.
11:43No, but you're going to enjoy yourself.
11:45Come on.
11:46I'm going to get you a drink.
11:47Okay.
11:49Scotch and water?
11:50Scotch and water.
11:51No worries.
11:52Everyone, excuse me.
11:53I'd like you to meet Meg Moores.
11:55Hi.
11:59Come and sit on the couch.
12:01You feel more comfortable.
12:04You ought to be careful, love.
12:06I'd be fooled by his little boy lost routine.
12:13Friend of yours?
12:15Gina?
12:15She's everybody's friend.
12:17There are some people here that I'd really like you to meet.
12:19Hey, Chris.
12:20Chris.
12:21Here you go.
12:35Um, careful.
12:36I might have been a bit heavy on the Scotch.
12:38Good.
12:39Always nice to know who your friends are when you need to.
12:42Cheers.
12:42Dependable, that's right.
12:45Now, what was I up to?
12:47Well, you were telling me all about England and how you went around it.
12:51Oh, the beautiful big Harley Davidson.
12:53Loved it, too.
12:54Don't think I ever got over seeing Easy Rider.
12:56Dates me a bit, doesn't it?
12:58I don't know how you two ever got together.
12:59I mean, you like chalk and cheese.
13:01Common bonds.
13:02Good drink, bad women.
13:03Present company, except for it.
13:04Oh, and a shack I have down on the coast.
13:08Bachelor's retreat, eh?
13:09Well, that's what I call it.
13:11Phil sees it as a result of ill-gotten capitalist gains.
13:15What do you do?
13:16Well, I knocked around for a bit after I left school.
13:18I saw the pot of gold at the end of the business rainbow, but couldn't master a calculator.
13:24So I did what every Australian boy with wonderlust does.
13:27I took my inheritance from good old dad and travelled.
13:30Chasing the moon around the world, eh?
13:31For a while.
13:33I'm finding I'm starting to settle down now, almost in spite of myself.
13:36So, no.
13:38Don't tell Veronica, I see.
13:39Hey, Carla, you weren't the happiest pixie in the world when you left the rec room.
13:49Oh, gosh.
13:50Was that all that obvious?
13:51Sorry, Jude.
13:53That's okay.
13:55Do you want to talk about it?
13:56I'm all ears.
13:57Oh, thanks.
13:58It's nice having someone who cares.
14:01I don't think it will ever be the same again.
14:04What won't?
14:06Just start at the beginning, okay?
14:09Well, I got this letter from Mummy.
14:12Heavens, I don't even know how they found out I was in here.
14:14I never wanted them to know.
14:16Well, I had to find out sooner or later.
14:19What did she say?
14:20Oh, a lot of awful things like how could I let them down
14:23and what a failure their upbringing had been,
14:25a lot of other bad things about me.
14:28Well, Mummy's even going to come and visit.
14:30What can I do, Jude?
14:32Honey, there's nothing you can do.
14:34I mean, people just need time to get used to this sort of thing.
14:37But Daddy's a minister,
14:38and they're very religious.
14:40They're not young anymore.
14:41Well, I'm afraid the shock might be too much for them.
14:45No.
14:46Isn't that what religion's all about, forgiveness?
14:49But, well, they've been so happy together all these years
14:52and everything has just been perfect.
14:54And then I came along and I ruined it all.
14:57Honey, look, you've made a mistake.
14:59You're paying for that.
15:01Your parents are probably just embarrassed.
15:02They'll get over it.
15:03I don't think they'll ever forgive me.
15:06Of course they will.
15:08I mean, just look.
15:10You're still the same name, sweet person you...
15:12Of course I forgive you.
15:18Of course.
15:19Don't you know that?
15:20Don't fool yourself about bloody Murphy and the freak.
15:25They're as thick as thieves.
15:26Well, I can't figure the bugger out.
15:28He was nice enough in the rec room, wasn't he?
15:30Bull.
15:30Word has it, he'd bloody take away your buy-up just for kicks.
15:33Stan was right.
15:35Yeah, well, I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
15:38Too busy making money.
15:39Wake up to yourself.
15:41If he starts picking us off one at a time,
15:42you're going to be a bit short of punters, aren't you?
15:45Take a walk, Mitchell.
15:46Now.
15:47It's all right, Bobby.
15:50Uh, Mitchell.
15:51Sorry things didn't work out with you, Mr. Dobson.
15:54Thanks.
15:55Don't thank me.
15:56It's Stan I'm concerned about, not you.
16:02Don't worry.
16:03I didn't tell you about Kelly's capture for nothing.
16:05Where's my money?
16:11That's it, Miss Ferguson.
16:12Half the take.
16:13It better be.
16:15Well, you haven't left me with much.
16:16What if all the favourites come in tomorrow?
16:19Yeah.
16:20Risky business running the book, isn't it?
16:22Still, I'll leave you with it, Warren.
16:25That's your concern.
16:26Just keep quiet about it.
16:29Sweet dreams.
16:37Well, you'd be a mongrel, wouldn't you?
16:39What are you talking about?
16:40Bleeding your mate's story on a scam you got going with a screw
16:42and splitting the dough with it.
16:43I couldn't help it.
16:44Oh, bull, you didn't have to run it, you know.
16:46She was blackmailing me, Bobby.
16:48I couldn't help it.
16:49You should have seen her.
16:50She was off her head.
16:51She would have got heavy.
16:53Look, I can't tell anybody else, so don't you turn on me.
16:57All right.
17:00Bloody Ferguson.
17:01Listen, I reckon we ought to tell Myra what she's up to.
17:04Myra would do me like a dinger if she found out I conned everyone.
17:07What are you going to do, Rabbit?
17:10There's nothing I can do.
17:15Just got to keep paying.
17:16What with?
17:17A bookie who can't pay up in here's got nowhere to hide.
17:21You think about it.
17:27Oh, Jude, there you are.
17:28Can we have a chat?
17:29What about?
17:30Well, if Stan's right about Len Murphy,
17:32we're in for a lot of trouble,
17:33and I want to know what you think.
17:35Well, whatever you say.
17:36You're the top dog, aren't you?
17:38I'm sure you can deal with Mr. Murphy
17:40if you haven't broken your fist on the kid.
17:41Oh, come on, please.
17:43Let's leave Bobby out of this.
17:44We're not talking about your average unpleasant screed.
17:48We're talking about someone that Stan has described as a killer.
17:51That's what Bobby said, wasn't it?
17:53And maybe she's right,
17:54but you better check your facts before you do something drastic.
17:56Well, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
17:58I'm going to get in touch with the PRG,
17:59and if he's been a bad boy, they'll let us know.
18:02Good.
18:03I've got to run later.
18:04I'll see you later.
18:06Jude, I've got your support on this.
18:10Please.
18:11If he's as bad as Stan says, I can't handle it alone.
18:15I'm sure you won't have to.
18:21Well, it was my birthplace,
18:23so I suppose I was destined to become a prison officer.
18:26How did you handle it
18:28when the inmate killed your first husband?
18:31Angry.
18:33I suppose I still am.
18:34But you've got to learn to live with this.
18:36Yes, but you've had it harder than most.
18:39Pretty amazing life, really.
18:41Must be all the Scotch.
18:42You seem to be doing all the talking.
18:43Must be bored to death by now.
18:44Oh, no, no, no, no.
18:46You make my life seem positively freer.
18:47Oh, come on now.
18:48Let's play it fair and talk about you for a chance.
18:51Forget it.
18:53Psychologists don't talk about themselves.
18:57Gina, do the words go away hold any significance?
18:59Gina, would you like another drink?
19:01Hey, what is this?
19:02Get Gina week or something.
19:05Listen, sweet.
19:06Wonderboy, he was a psychologist.
19:09So, Andre hasn't got you flat on your back by now.
19:13Meg, it's not what you think.
19:14Meg.
19:16Meg.
19:17Philip, you'll only do more harm.
19:20Meg, please, listen.
19:21Get out of my way.
19:22Look, I was only trying to help.
19:24Oh, you helped all right.
19:26You made me look like a bloody fool.
19:27Look, I'm sorry.
19:28Just leave me alone.
19:40What are you doing here?
19:42Huh?
19:42Ask the freak.
19:43She must be trying to poison the women.
19:45She knows I can't cook to save my life.
19:46She can't send you here.
19:48What's that supposed to mean?
19:49Can't you ask to be given something else?
19:51Come on, I'm not that bad.
19:52Look, I didn't mean that.
19:53I could...
19:53Please, move over there.
19:55Just get off my way, please.
19:56Sure.
19:57Now, what am I...
19:58What am I cooking?
20:02If it's any help, the menu's written down.
20:04So it is.
20:06So it is.
20:14Oh.
20:19Try the other side of the knife.
20:32Sure could use a hand, couldn't you?
20:35Look, if you want really to make yourself useful, just go and help the others in the dining room.
20:41Okay.
20:41Wouldn't you be safer working at a sheltered workshop?
21:03Oh.
21:03Oh, Karen, come and join us.
21:16Good to have you back. How are you feeling?
21:18Well, I never thought I'd be able to say this, but I'm pretty good.
21:20Oh, why shouldn't you say that?
21:22Oh, I just wish I didn't smile so much.
21:25If you stop saying it, then maybe you won't.
21:28Come on, it's up to you.
21:29You've got a lot going for you.
21:31I mean, compared to you, most of us are behind the eight ball.
21:33Yes, I know you're right. I'm sorry I'm such a pain.
21:35Oh, I understand. It's awful, isn't it?
21:38I get into dreadful trouble every time I fall in love.
21:42You going to do anything about it?
21:44Yes, I am.
21:45I'm going to tell you the truth.
21:47I know it'll hurt, but it's going to hurt our marriage a lot more if I don't.
21:51Good for you. You've learnt the big lesson.
21:53No matter how much you care for other people, you've got to look after number one, right?
21:56Yeah, you can't get better advice than that.
21:58Yes, I know.
21:59And I'll never be able to thank you enough, all of you, for the way you've looked after me.
22:03Oh, that's okay.
22:05Now that everyone's in such a good mood, I might as well tell you, we were going to run a book on how many times you and Lyle got off together.
22:12What?
22:13Oh, we can't. You are sick, do you know that?
22:17Oh, it's so nice when everyone's so happy. I was awfully down in the doctor a few minutes ago.
22:23Mum, what's the matter?
22:24Oh, your mother. When's she coming?
22:26Oh, any time now. Oh, gosh, now I'm all worried again.
22:30Honey, don't worry. You've got a lot of people behind you.
22:33Thanks, June. That makes me feel a lot better.
22:36How was the party?
22:40Oh, just the usual froth and bubble.
22:42You don't look too bubbly.
22:45Well, let's just say it would be nice for once, just once, to find a man you could trust.
22:51What happened?
22:58Well, not only was I the oldest there, but unbeknown to me, Philip had invited a psychologist friend of his.
23:05I was to be the subject.
23:07Oh, I see.
23:08I never thought he'd pull a trick like that.
23:11Still, how was your night?
23:14Quite. Had a good night's sleep, though, for a change.
23:17Good. Oh, and Karen Davies is feeling much better. She's back with the women.
23:20Fine. Which reminds me, I must ring a husband. I told her I'd contact him this morning.
23:25Oh, have you had any more thoughts about who might be responsible for the smuggling?
23:28No, I think we've just about exhausted all possibilities.
23:30What about staff? That's my main worry.
23:32All clear. Unless Philip thought it would be therapeutic value for the women.
23:38Well, anyway, I'm hoping Stan will be able to help us when he's better.
23:41Oh, one other thing. Sue Bailey said that Higgins had a sleepless night.
23:45Perhaps isolation is getting to her. Mightn't hurt to pay her a visit.
23:48Yes, all right. Not that it'll achieve much.
23:54Morning, Meg.
23:55George, how are you? Are you sure you're up to it?
23:57Well, I must admit I'm a bit nervous about facing Lou Kelly again,
24:01but I'd have been a candidate for the funny farm if I'd had another day at home with Norm.
24:05Playing the worried husband, was he?
24:07Oh, he was driving me mad with kindness.
24:09I mean, it's a great choice, isn't it?
24:11Being driven mad at home or frightened to death here.
24:13Good.
24:19Good.
24:33Okay.
24:33Finished out there. What's next?
24:35Uh, just take that boiler out of the stove and empty it into the sink.
24:39Yeah, right.
24:42Pity we don't have a few gentlemen around here to do the heavy lifting.
24:45Look, if it's too much trouble, leave it, leave it.
24:48Okay, don't get your knickers in a knot.
24:50What are you trying to do?
24:52Do yourself in or something?
24:53There's oil all over the floor here.
24:54Well, if you keep on interrupting, I'll never get lunch ready in time.
24:57No.
24:57You're trying to help.
24:58Pics, I reckon it'd be a good idea if we gave the Bible routine a big miss.
25:15What do you say?
25:17Hello?
25:19Pics?
25:20Oh, I'm sorry, Molly.
25:21What were you saying?
25:23I was actually saying that it's probably...
25:25Mrs. Barry!
25:26Oh, it's good to have you back, and we're all really pleased that Lou didn't, you know...
25:32Welcome back, Mrs. May.
25:33Thanks very much, ladies.
25:35Oh, Pixie, you've got a visitor. It's your mother.
25:40Oh, Jude, I forgot everything I was going to say. What am I going to do?
25:44Just tell her the truth. She'll understand, okay?
25:46Oh, golly, I wish she would go instead of me.
25:48She'd know it wasn't.
25:50Mrs. Barry, can I make a phone call?
25:52Oh, I think it'll be all right, but I'll just have to fix up Pixie's visit first.
25:55Thanks.
25:56Pixie, come on, please.
25:57I'm coming.
25:57And don't forget to ask about that Bible quote, if you can.
26:00Yeah, if I can remember.
26:01Oh, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was an age of...
26:06The age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness.
26:09Yeah.
26:09Charles Dickens, Tale of Two Cities.
26:11It's hardly the Bible, but it is one of my favourite classics.
26:14Come on, Pixie.
26:15Oh, I'm coming.
26:17What?
26:18Bitches stung me?
26:20Well, I wouldn't have thought Alice was capable.
26:23She's no fool.
26:24Yeah, well, don't worry, Rabbit.
26:26It hasn't exactly broken you.
26:27Oh, yeah, that's not the point.
26:29She conned me.
26:30And what have you been doing?
26:37Yeah, well, that's bloody hot oil in there.
26:40Just what were you planning?
26:41Scarring me for life?
26:43Oh, I'm so sorry.
26:44What is your angle?
26:47Nothing.
26:48I didn't wish to do it.
26:50Miss Ferguson, she made me...
26:53Yeah, that'd be right.
26:55Freak's got to stay lily white, or Renault will set.
26:59So, she's getting others to do her dirty work.
27:02What's she got on you, darling?
27:04I smuggled in some chocolates and some shampoo,
27:08and now she's threatening to get me set, or even get me into jail.
27:11Yeah, it's her style, all right.
27:14You're pretty scared, aren't you?
27:19Of course I am.
27:20She's already proved how it is, how easy it is for her to set me up.
27:24If I'll be jailed on drug charges, I'll never survive.
27:26You know what they do to people like us?
27:29I'll just die.
27:30Yeah, yeah.
27:31All right, you relax, will you?
27:33There is a way out of this,
27:35but it means you backing me.
27:36You mean...
27:38Well, of course I'll help you, but...
27:40I'm not good at fist fighting.
27:44Yeah, well, we're not fighting with fists, are we?
27:48But if you sign a statement explaining the freak's blackmail attempt,
27:52we get it into a safe deposit box,
27:55and then we tell the freak about it.
27:58What good will that do?
28:01You don't know her very well, do you?
28:03There's only two things that matter in her life,
28:05her old man and her job.
28:08She's not going to risk losing her job for either of us.
28:10Well...
28:13I hope you're right.
28:16Believe me, I am.
28:25He must be very disappointed in me,
28:27and I'm awfully sorry, Mummy.
28:29Why didn't you tell me you were in trouble?
28:33I know your father carried on when you married an atheist,
28:36but that didn't mean I stopped caring for you.
28:39I felt such a shock when Eddie Mason told me you were here.
28:43Where did you see Eddie?
28:44I wrote to him, and he phoned me last week.
28:47Oh.
28:47Well, did he have anything to say?
28:49Oh, the poor man was dreadfully embarrassed.
28:51It took him quite a while to explain
28:54that you were here on bigamy charges.
28:58Oh, no, that was last time.
28:59Well, this time I'm on a stealing charge.
29:03Oh.
29:04I've been very foolish, haven't I?
29:07None of us are perfect, dear child,
29:09and far be it from me to stand in judgment of you.
29:13I'm just glad I've found you.
29:18Now, I know the nights get a bit nippy,
29:20and this might help.
29:23Oh, it's lovely.
29:25Oh, thank you.
29:28And you need plenty of vitamin C
29:30when you're laid up in dark places like this.
29:33So eat plenty of fruit.
29:35Oh, we get exercise periods outside
29:37and three good meals a day,
29:38so don't worry about me.
29:40I want to hear all about you and Daddy.
29:44I suppose he's really disowned me this time.
29:48Mummy, what's wrong?
29:51Your father and I have separated.
29:53We're going to be divorced.
29:56Oh.
29:57Oh, no, you can't.
29:59Oh, you're joking, aren't you?
30:02Mummy, you can't leave Daddy.
30:04He depends on you.
30:06I'm afraid you've got it the wrong way round.
30:09Your father has left me.
30:11Not only that, but he's seeing a girl younger than yourself.
30:20Davies is waiting outside when you're ready.
30:22Oh.
30:22Is there something wrong?
30:24Her husband's back from Sydney,
30:25but says he's not ready to see her yet.
30:27I think he's having trouble coming to terms
30:29with their situation.
30:32I'm not sure how to explain it to Davies.
30:34I'll only better send her in.
30:40Davies?
30:43How are you feeling now?
30:45Oh, I'm fine.
30:46What's wrong?
30:46Where's Lyle?
30:47I've been in contact with him.
30:50He's back from Sydney,
30:52but he wanted me to tell you
30:53that he can't come and visit you just yet.
30:56He sends his love
30:57and asked if there's anything you want him to send in.
30:59Um, no, no, thank you.
31:02Look, I think there's some mistake.
31:04Would it be possible for me to phone him
31:06and find out if there's anything wrong?
31:08Of course.
31:09Mrs Morris, would you take care of that for me?
31:11And tell reception I'll be in isolation if they read me.
31:14Certainly.
31:20But, Jude, I've always looked up to them
31:21and hoped that one day I'd have a marriage
31:23as perfect as theirs.
31:25Well, no, I don't think there's any reason
31:26for any marriage to work.
31:28I know, love.
31:29Seems impossible after all you told me about them.
31:32Yeah, if my mum and dad ever split up,
31:34I'd feel like I'd been orphaned or something.
31:36Mummy was trying so hard not to seem upset.
31:40Well, look at it this way.
31:41At least they turned to you for support.
31:43Yes, but I wish I could be with them to help them.
31:45I mean, well, they must be feeling dreadful.
31:48Doesn't your mother have any friends she can turn to?
31:50Yes, but they're mostly Daddy's friends.
31:52It's always the way, isn't it?
31:55Watch.
31:56Well, what have we got here?
31:58A little accident, Mr Murphy.
32:00Yes.
32:02Pick it up now or I'll put you on a charge.
32:05Accidentally, of course.
32:06Oh, hang on, Mr Murphy.
32:07It really was an accident.
32:08Another malingerer, Bryant.
32:10In fact, by the amount of work achieved here,
32:13I'd say you were all malingerers.
32:15Well, we have stopped work, but we were talking to Pixie.
32:18She's very upset.
32:18She had some bad news about her family.
32:20Yeah, her parents split up after 25 years.
32:23Oh, and I suppose you gave her some very helpful advice, Bryant.
32:26And there's nothing wrong with a bit of sympathy.
32:30Of course not.
32:31Be right up your alley, wouldn't it?
32:33Did Pixie know that it's quite all right
32:35for a woman to live with another woman?
32:37That's how you operated at that halfway house.
32:39Now, just a minute.
32:40How dare you bloody insinuate the...
32:41Thank you very much, Bryant.
32:44You're on a charge of insubordination.
32:48Now get back to work, all of you.
32:49But, darling, if there's some sort of a problem,
32:57you would tell me, wouldn't you?
32:59I mean, you do still love me, don't you?
33:02Of course I do.
33:04I just need some time.
33:07Believe me, darling, it's not you.
33:08It's me.
33:10Darling, please come and see me.
33:11I know we can sort this out.
33:13If we can just see each other.
33:15I wish I could feel that way.
33:18I still don't even know how all this happened.
33:21Lyle, I'll tell you everything when you come.
33:25Mrs Reynolds will give us some privacy
33:27and the other women won't interfere.
33:28They've promised me they won't.
33:30And now, please come, darling.
33:33I just can't bear this.
33:34Please.
33:36Oh, darling.
33:39Darling, I don't know.
33:41All right.
33:43Maybe tonight.
33:44Well, I dished out my first charge this morning
33:49and London to a brick at one be me last.
33:51Who was it?
33:53Bryant, in subordination.
33:55Oh, good luck.
33:57It's all very well laying a charge,
33:59but I think you'll find the governor a bit soft
34:01when it comes to imposing a penalty.
34:04They've got to support their officers,
34:06otherwise it leads to disrespect for authority.
34:09Don't get me wrong.
34:10I couldn't agree with you more.
34:11It's just that in the past,
34:12I've found Reynolds far too lenient.
34:14She's made my job very difficult at times.
34:17It's going to be a bit of a problem, then.
34:20There's only one way to run a place like this,
34:21as far as I'm concerned.
34:22Well, at last.
34:25Someone who thinks the way I do.
34:27You had me worried for a while.
34:28I thought you were another do-gooder.
34:31I reckon between us,
34:32we can pull this place right into shape.
34:35There's a few people around here
34:36who need to be pulled into line.
34:38Take that lesbian bride, for instance.
34:41The less of her type around here,
34:43the better.
34:43I'm healthy.
34:44Everything went wrong,
35:14when my mother died.
35:16My father fell in love with a real bitch.
35:19Criminal record as long as you're around.
35:21She moved in,
35:22and everything took a downhill slide.
35:25It happens, I know.
35:27My father believed he could rehabilitate her
35:29with love and understanding.
35:31She understood all right.
35:32She dragged him right down to her level.
35:35Once,
35:36just once, he nearly got out.
35:40Did you know I had a stepbrother?
35:42No, I didn't.
35:43Where is he now?
35:44Killed in a car chase at 19.
35:47Oh,
35:47I'm sorry.
35:49No need to be.
35:50I was glad when it happened.
35:52He was an animal.
35:53Anything for kicks.
35:55Yes,
35:56the bitch had bred another criminal.
35:57What's happened to your father?
36:01I don't know.
36:04She made it perfectly clear
36:05I wasn't wanted.
36:07Each day,
36:08I could see my father
36:09turning against me
36:10because of the lies she'd fed him.
36:13I left home
36:14as soon as I could earn a living.
36:16But surely,
36:17after all this time,
36:17you'd want to see him
36:18just out of curiosity.
36:19As far as I'm concerned,
36:20my father died
36:21the day that woman
36:22walked into our house.
36:24The day I left,
36:25I vowed women like her
36:26would suffer.
36:27She should have been
36:28incarcerated for life.
36:30I can understand
36:31your bitterness,
36:32but you're wrong.
36:33You can't judge
36:34other women by her guilt.
36:36There are some
36:37who genuinely
36:37try to get out of it.
36:38We must give them
36:39that chance.
36:40There's no point.
36:42You're wrong.
36:45I've seen quite a few
36:46leave here and make it.
36:47And I haven't been here
36:48very long.
36:49Maybe.
36:51But they're the exceptions
36:52to the rule.
36:53For everyone that makes it,
36:54there are ten who wind up
36:55back inside,
36:56bleeding society dry.
36:57Even if you were right,
36:58that doesn't mean
36:59we should stop trying.
37:01Every success is worth ten.
37:03A hundred failures.
37:04We owe them that much.
37:12What are you doing here?
37:15Cat got your tongue wrong?
37:17No, I just had a bit
37:18of stomach cramp.
37:19I had to sit down
37:20for a bit.
37:21A little bag.
37:21All right now, though?
37:24That's good to hear.
37:27But you won't be all right
37:28if you ever try
37:29lying to me like that again.
37:31You're nothing but
37:32a lazy, overweight liar.
37:35I think it's about time
37:36you learnt
37:37the first rule
37:38of Murphy's law.
37:46Now!
37:51I don't know what got into you, Brian.
38:07I don't know what got into you, Brian.
38:09Why did you refuse to work?
38:10I didn't refuse to work, Mrs. Reynolds.
38:13That's not what Mr. Murphy says.
38:14Oh, okay.
38:16We were having a little chat.
38:19Pixie was very upset
38:19about her family.
38:20I explained all of that
38:21to Mr. Murphy.
38:24Did he tell you
38:25to get back to work?
38:26No, he said
38:26we were a bunch
38:27of malingerers.
38:29Were you rude to him
38:30and refused to work?
38:31I got a little upset
38:33when he accused me
38:33of breaking up marriages
38:34at the halfway house,
38:35but I didn't exactly
38:36refuse to work.
38:38You realise
38:39this looks like
38:40direct insubordination.
38:41It's not insubordination,
38:42Mrs. Reynolds.
38:44Mr. Murphy
38:44was deliberately
38:45picking on me.
38:47Let's see, shall we?
38:49Come in, Mr. Murphy.
39:02Bryant alleges victimisation.
39:04Is this true?
39:05Of course not.
39:07Bryant is one
39:08of the first women
39:09I liked.
39:10I didn't want
39:11to put her on a charge,
39:12but, well,
39:13she gave me no choice.
39:16All right, Bryant,
39:17you'll lose your privileges
39:18for one week.
39:19Would you take her
39:20back to work, Mr. Murphy?
39:20I'd like to put up
39:36with queers
39:36like you at Woodridge.
39:38As far as I'm concerned,
39:39the less you lot
39:40around here,
39:41the better.
39:43After you.
39:44Oh, Miss Ferguson,
39:55anything the matter?
39:56Uh, no.
39:57No, where's Pricklett?
39:58Oh, he's just gone off
39:59on a break.
39:59He said I had to post
40:00a letter or something.
40:00I see.
40:02Look, um,
40:02I'll take over
40:03if you like.
40:03You must be just
40:04about due for a break
40:04yourself.
40:05Oh, thanks.
40:06It'd be lovely.
40:06I've got a bit
40:07of a headache, actually.
40:08What, just taking a risk
40:13leaving you in charge
40:14of the cooking?
40:15It's only food
40:15for the officers.
40:18Glad to see
40:18you're enjoying
40:19kitchen duty.
40:20Oh, I'm glad
40:21you rostered me here, too.
40:23It's been educating.
40:32Interesting reading,
40:33wouldn't you say?
40:33It's only a copy.
40:38Ray's taken the original
40:39to a solicitor.
40:41Dreadful, isn't it?
40:42You just can't
40:43trust people nowadays.
40:47You won't get away
40:48with this.
40:50It's how I already had.
40:51It's only your job
40:52at risk.
40:54For God's sake.
40:56Why didn't you
40:57yell out or something?
40:58Because he just
40:59would have kept
40:59standing on it
41:00and was pressing
41:01harder and harder.
41:02I'm not kidding.
41:03He's off his head.
41:04That's all you need,
41:05it love.
41:05Loss of privileges
41:06and a sore hand.
41:08Not to mention
41:08what he did
41:09to the biscuits.
41:10Well, maybe that's
41:11just his idea
41:12of helping you
41:12lose weight, Marlene.
41:15Maybe I should
41:16offer to Cardi Me.
41:17Forget it.
41:18Just an idea.
41:20Well, the freak
41:21is at least
41:21the devil we know.
41:22This guy sounds
41:23some sort of nut.
41:24Yes, but I mean,
41:25surely there's
41:26some way we can
41:26protect ourselves.
41:27I mean, a legal way.
41:29Oh, by the time
41:30the coroner gets
41:31to your case,
41:32it's too late.
41:34No, we've got
41:34to think this out
41:35very carefully
41:35before someone
41:37gets hurt.
41:39Oh, hello, Len.
41:40How's it all going?
41:41Settling down all right?
41:42Oh, starting to get
41:43a feel for the place.
41:44Good.
41:45Tell me,
41:46have you got a family?
41:48Yeah, two boys.
41:49Oh, lovely.
41:50I bet they keep
41:51you on your toes.
41:53Oh, not really.
41:53They're both
41:54growing up now,
41:54living interstate.
41:56Oh, really?
41:58Oh, you must miss them.
41:59That I do.
42:01Yeah.
42:02And, uh,
42:03tell me,
42:03what does your wife
42:04think about your move here?
42:06I wouldn't know
42:07about that.
42:07See, we're separated.
42:10Oh.
42:11Oh, I'm always
42:12threatening my husband
42:13with that.
42:14Mind you,
42:14I wouldn't do it.
42:15Norm says I couldn't
42:16live without him.
42:17Can't beat a close
42:18family, Joyce.
42:19No, you can't.
42:20I must meet Norm
42:20one day.
42:21Good.
42:23Tell me, uh,
42:24what do you think
42:25of Joan Ferguson
42:26as an officer?
42:28Oh, you've asked
42:29the wrong person, really.
42:31Actually, I,
42:31I think she makes
42:32too much trouble
42:33amongst the women.
42:34Trouble?
42:35Yes, too strict,
42:36do you know?
42:37I mean, they accuse her
42:38of being a basher
42:39and a lesbian
42:39and being...
42:40Lesbian, eh?
42:41Oh, well,
42:41I wouldn't know
42:42about that.
42:43I mean, that's her business,
42:44as long as it doesn't
42:45interfere with her work.
42:46Of course.
42:47To each his
42:48or her own.
42:50Doesn't change my opinion
42:51of her in the slightest.
42:52Please, Mrs. Reynolds,
42:57I'm not overreacting.
42:59I just don't know
42:59how much longer
43:00I can take it
43:00in isolation.
43:02It's for your own protection.
43:03You can't go on
43:04protecting me forever.
43:06And there's no doubt
43:06in my mind
43:07I'll be convicted.
43:08So it may as well
43:09be sooner than later.
43:10Believe me,
43:11I can understand
43:12you're wanting
43:12to be moved,
43:14but...
43:15Look,
43:16let me think about it.
43:17I'll check with the department
43:18and let you know.
43:22Where's my cut
43:38for the day, Warren?
43:40Uh,
43:41didn't run anything
43:41this morning,
43:42Miss Ferguson.
43:43Your cash flow
43:44had better start improving
43:45because scum like you
43:46are not indispensable.
43:49That's a bit of rough stuff
43:50for the young'uns, eh?
43:51What?
43:51Make yourself scarce, Warren.
43:55How dare you
43:56undermine an officer
43:57that's totally
43:58unprofessional.
44:00I just found out
44:01about you, Ferguson.
44:03You want to know
44:04something I didn't like
44:04what I heard?
44:06I wouldn't put a dyke
44:07in charge of an outhouse,
44:08let alone a prison.
44:10Your days are running
44:11this place are over.
44:12He used to give me roses
44:25I wish he could again
44:30But that was on the outside
44:36And things were different then
44:41On the inside
44:42The sun still shines
44:46And the rain falls down
44:51But the sun and rain
44:53Are prisoners too
44:55When morning comes around
45:00Last night I dreamed
45:04We were together
45:06Sharing all the love
45:10We'd known
45:11Till I had to face
45:15The nightmare
45:16Of waking up alone
45:21On the inside
45:23On the inside
45:23The roses grow
45:25They don't land
45:28The stony ground
45:31But the roses here
45:34Are prisoners too
45:36When morning comes around
45:41On the inside
45:41Yeah
