00:00I'll be getting some pretty interesting merchandise in here real soon.
00:04Happy dreams in little packets.
00:07But I'll only be selling to customers who like me.
00:10So think it up.
00:12Oh yeah, that excess baggage.
00:15Where is she?
00:16Blubbering mess in the basement.
00:19Put her out of her misery.
00:24This one I'll think about for a while.
00:30It's a pity, really.
00:40She's experienced.
00:42Seems a waste to get rid of her when she could be good money for us.
00:45Don't type her a dime a dozen.
00:47Maybe.
00:50But she's smart enough to play it straight.
00:56And talk, if she's offered enough.
00:58She doesn't know anything.
01:00Besides, it'd be good to have her on the streets.
01:08There's every chance that the police will spot her.
01:11And you want the word to get out there when we're in Sydney?
01:13She's obvious bait.
01:14They spot her, then they know I'm here.
01:16That is what you want, isn't it?
01:18Yeah, that's what I want.
01:20We can make sure they know you're here without the girl.
01:24Are you sure you're not just trying to save a life?
01:26She's nothing to me, like you said.
01:28Her type of a dime a dozen.
01:32Precisely.
01:35You know, Cass, I've been thinking.
01:37You're probably right.
01:39Well, Mr Manning must get very lonely.
01:41I mean, he doesn't seem to have much of a private life.
01:43Well, not that he talks about anyway.
01:45Perhaps the details don't bear repeating.
01:47Oh, don't be awful, Doreen.
01:48Well, you know, Pixie was pretty shaken up over that business with young Bobby.
01:52Yeah, and you can't blame him.
01:53I mean, he might be scared someone else might have a go.
01:56Mind you, I could be tempted.
01:58I think he has very sexy eyes.
02:01You're wasting your time on that thing, Mr Manning.
02:04Everything in this place is at least a hundred years old.
02:07Present company exclude.
02:08There's never any bloody thing worth watching anyway.
02:11Oh, there was a very good film on the other night.
02:13It was the one about the little boy who lost his parents and he had to find homes for his
02:16brothers and sisters.
02:17I cried my eyes out.
02:19Well, did you watch it, Mr Manning?
02:21No, I must have missed that one, Pixie.
02:23You good with your hands, Mr Manning?
02:25I can slap someone down if I have to.
02:28Do you watch a lot of telly, Mr Manning?
02:31Don't get much time, Pixie.
02:32Seem to spend all my time working.
02:34Oh, well, you must have other interests outside your job.
02:37It can get very lonely, you know.
02:39Well, being lonely is just a part of being alive, I suppose.
02:42Where's the culprit?
02:46Fellas hasn't wasted any time sucking up to Margo.
02:49Two of a kind.
02:52Lara, could I have a word with you?
02:54Yeah, sure.
02:55Alan's contacted me.
03:01Kay's left home.
03:03Oh, no.
03:04Where is she?
03:05Well, we don't know, but she's probably with one of her friends.
03:08Oh, God.
03:09It never rains, but it pours.
03:11You know I'll do what I can for your kids.
03:14Yeah, I appreciate that, Mrs M. Thanks.
03:16I mean, I can't do anything in here.
03:18Let Kay down, but I won't let the women down.
03:21I'll be in touch with Alan, okay?
03:22Thanks a lot.
03:23I've got contacts.
03:27Yeah, well, I want to be good.
03:28It's not easy getting drugs in here these days.
03:30It'll happen.
03:31Terrific.
03:31It's not going to be cheap and it'll be cash on the knuckle when I deal.
03:35Well, that cuts me out.
03:37It's not going to be easy for me to make the contacts.
03:41Oh, Ma Morris is watching me like a hawk and bloody Desmond's a pain in the arse already.
03:46I could probably use someone to take the orders.
03:48Yeah, well, what's in it for me?
03:50Free snort.
03:51If and when you bring the orders in.
03:52Well, you're on.
03:54Did you have a good thing going at Barnhurst, did you?
03:56Yeah, pretty good.
03:58Yeah?
03:58Well, I reckon you'll do all right here.
04:00It's a long time since we've had anything stronger than grass.
04:03You'll have to watch Ferguson, though.
04:04She's really down on drugs.
04:06And I can't afford to get on the wrong side of her right now.
04:10Always get someone else.
04:11Look, I said I'd be in it, didn't I?
04:13When's the supplier coming in?
04:14Could be today.
04:16Just one word.
04:17Oh, come on, we're partners, aren't we?
04:19Correction.
04:20I'm none of this outfit.
04:22You take your orders from the women and me.
04:25Got it?
04:29I don't understand.
04:31Eddie Stevens was killed in a car accident.
04:33The police made it look that way to protect him.
04:35You've no idea where Mitchell and Stevens might be?
04:38Possibly in the state.
04:39If they're still alive.
04:42Yeah.
04:42You wanted to see Myra Desmond.
04:45Shall I bring her in?
04:46Yes, please.
04:50Myra?
04:55Now, what is this go slow all about?
04:58To draw attention to the conditions in here.
05:00To get things the women really need.
05:02You don't think you ought to be concentrating on your own problems before you start all this?
05:05I know I've got to face whatever's coming to me, but while I'm in here, I can't sit back and see what's happening.
05:10Or not happening, to be more precise.
05:11Such as?
05:13Rehabilitation.
05:14Look, I'll get it all written down and presented properly, but Mrs. Reynolds, when the women come in here, no one finds out what they can do.
05:21They're shoved into the kitchen, the laundry, wherever.
05:24I agree, Myra, but it's been tried and the results weren't very encouraging.
05:27But it's all been so hit and miss.
05:28The department talks about preparing prisoners for when they get out.
05:33But where's the apprenticeships?
05:34Where's the training?
05:35The department isn't exactly easy to approach at the moment.
05:38When have they ever been?
05:39Oh, be fair.
05:40Our track record's been pretty poor during the last few months.
05:43We've shown trust and it's been abused.
05:45However, if you'd like to make out the report and give it to me, I'll see what I can do.
05:48I'd like to see a lot of improvements myself.
05:50Yeah, I know you would.
05:51Thanks.
05:52But I have to be honest, Mrs. Reynolds, we can't wait indefinitely.
05:55Meaning?
05:56If the department doesn't do something soon, we will.
06:00And they're going to have real industrial problems on their hands.
06:07Why don't you flip a bloody coin?
06:10Or does it take two of you creeps to bump off one, Sheila?
06:13Shut up.
06:16What's the matter?
06:17You're going to do that to me permanently, aren't you?
06:23You've got to admit she's got guns.
06:26I bet she's a good lady, too.
06:30Nah.
06:33It's skinny.
06:35Still, there's only one way to find out.
06:39Might be a lizard, of course.
06:41You know what happens in them female prisons.
06:43Yeah.
06:45Maybe we want to show her what it's really like, eh?
06:48Give her a last big thrill.
06:50Boys!
06:52Get her out of here.
06:56Get lost.
07:13Don't give me orders, lady.
07:16And don't get any funny ideas about making a break for it.
07:19We'll be right outside.
07:21Are you okay, Blondie?
07:31Let's go.
07:32Let's go.
07:32I don't get it.
07:45They were just going to wipe me out.
07:46Maybe they changed their mind.
07:48How come?
07:50I persuaded Mr. Renner you might be useful.
07:52Yeah, well, I'm not sticking around for him to bloody change his mind again.
07:55Listen, I did a lot of fast talking to get them to keep you around here.
07:58Use your brain.
07:59You try something like that and we've both had it.
08:04Why'd you stick your neck out for me?
08:06You got unlucky.
08:09I don't like to set up any more than you do, but those guys out there mean business.
08:13So we go along with it until we can work out something else.
08:16What happens now?
08:18Renner's going to set me up with three girls.
08:19I'm going to work out of here.
08:21And another half dozen that are going to do the streets.
08:25You'll be one of them.
08:26No way!
08:27Oh, don't play coy with me.
08:28You've done it before.
08:29Yeah, when I had to.
08:30And now it's time again.
08:32Now, if you want to keep breathing, you play it straight and you grab anybody who can pay cash.
08:38I don't have much of a choice either.
08:41So you play it the way it is.
08:42I open that door right now and I'll let those guys back in to pick up where they left off.
08:45It's like you said.
08:50There's not much choice.
08:54I guess I owe you one.
08:56Remember.
08:58One mistake and they wipe us both out.
09:03I miss.
09:07Count your blessings.
09:08We're alive.
09:08What are you doing, Cass?
09:13I'm folding sheets, door.
09:15But look at how you're doing it.
09:17Yep, I'm doing it the same way I always do it, door.
09:19But we're on a go slow, Cass.
09:22Oh, yeah.
09:22We've got it.
09:23Aw, it feels funny, door.
09:30You know, Ma, I hope we don't have to keep this up too long.
09:32I reckon it's harder to work slow than it is to work normal.
09:35Well, from what Reno said, we might have to take it a step further.
09:39At a strike?
09:40Yeah, generally.
09:41Might make her sit up and listen.
09:42Does that mean all the working areas would go out?
09:45That's right, Pixie.
09:46Well, I reckon it'd be easier to stop altogether than go slow.
09:49Well, it's all in the way you do it, Cass.
09:51Now, you've seen it in the movements.
09:53Watch.
09:56Oh, it's lovely.
09:58It's just like an underwater ballet.
10:00Yeah, it is.
10:01It's a bloody nut house around here.
10:03In for a penny.
10:05Well, if you can't beat them, join them.
10:09What is this, a bunch of bloody poofters?
10:12You lot better get your orders into Phyllis if you want some of my happiness, Dust.
10:16Get in a supply in real soon.
10:18I've told you before, Gaffney, no drugs.
10:21That's right, forget it.
10:22It's a waste of time.
10:23Nobody'd buy it off you anyway.
10:24There'll always be customers.
10:25Not while I'm here.
10:27All right.
10:27You made your point.
10:30It'll be coke.
10:31Real good stuff, too.
10:32So get your orders in, girls.
10:34She's not going to back down.
10:37I'm going to have to make her.
10:41Feels strange having a shower without a screw breathing down your neck.
10:43Classy joint.
10:49Bet he pays a fortune for it.
10:52He doesn't pay for anything he takes.
10:57How about some booze?
10:59I'll push your luck, Bobby.
11:03This is how you used to live, isn't it?
11:05Before they put you in the slammer.
11:07Yes.
11:08I used to call the shots.
11:09It makes a difference.
11:15Wonder what Renault and the screws are thinking back at Wentworth.
11:18Mrs. Reynolds and the officers are too busy hanging on to their jobs to worry about us.
11:24How'd you fix it?
11:26You know, get now.
11:27The less you know about that, the better.
11:29Make sure you remember that.
11:32Does she understand why she's been allowed to stay alive?
11:35Oh, yes.
11:37Good.
11:37You start work now.
11:42The Minotti brothers look after your area.
11:45Don't give them any trouble.
11:46You're very replaceable.
11:50You'll, uh, need some clothes for yourself and the girl.
11:55But don't get any ideas about going shopping on your own.
11:58Take Keith or one of the other boys.
12:00They'll organise transport for you when you want it.
12:02And I'm sure you're both aware that you're on probation.
12:10Move.
12:14I'll be back.
12:15Myra's points are valid, Meg.
12:21I don't doubt you put together a very good report for the department.
12:24Yes, that's some constitution she's got.
12:27Taking on the women's problems when she's got so many of her own.
12:30And now her daughter's left home.
12:32I've had to tell her.
12:33Oh, God.
12:34Well, perhaps worrying about the women and the conditions is helping to blot out her own worries.
12:38She must be frantic about that.
12:39Yes.
12:40She's only 16.
12:41I mean, she loves Myra.
12:43She also loved her father.
12:44And she's the one that's got to give incriminating evidence at her own mother's trial.
12:48God, I don't think I could have handled that at 16.
12:50Me either.
12:53I was wondering if I could move Bryant in with Myra.
12:56I mean, they're old friends and she could be a steady influence at a time like this.
12:59No objection as far as I'm concerned.
13:01But Myra looked pretty stable to me when she was practically threatening to blow the union whistle.
13:06And I'm worried about Payne being in the same block as Myra.
13:09I've spoken to Alan Desmond.
13:11He thinks Payne could be called as a witness against his mother.
13:14What?
13:15We should have been told that.
13:17Well, she only came in on a drug and assault charge.
13:19I mean, I thought you knew that Hayne...
13:20No, and that's a very serious situation.
13:22I don't know what the hell I'm going to do about it.
13:23There's a rotation for what it, Governor.
13:24And I'll fix the telly in the wreck room.
13:26Despite Pixie Mason's help.
13:28It's good to have her back, though, isn't it?
13:29Yes, it is.
13:30What do you think of her claim that she was lured away on false pretenses?
13:34Well, if there's any truth in it, it must make a big difference to her hearing.
13:37Surely it wouldn't be that hard to find that Ralph Cranter.
13:39Leave it to the police, Meg.
13:41It's up to Mason's lawyer to bring out the truth at her hearing.
13:44In the meantime, let's remember our job's here.
13:46Finding Ralph Cranter or our missing prisoners is strictly for the police.
13:52Oh, jeez, this is boring.
13:54I'm almost glad I'm not going to be here much longer.
13:57I never knew you to complain about taking it easy before.
14:01That's crap.
14:02Either we go on strike or we forget the whole friggin' idea.
14:05Oh, look, I've told you.
14:06I laid it on the line with Mrs. Reynolds.
14:08Now let's give her a chance to do something about it.
14:11Do you know what the bloody department's like, though?
14:14It takes them a month to change their typewriter ribbons.
14:17Yeah, Myra's right.
14:18We've got to give Mrs. Reynolds a fair go.
14:19Anyway, Myra's top dog.
14:21We do as she says.
14:22If I want to do my own thing, I will.
14:24Yeah, why not?
14:25Everyone should do their own thing if they want to.
14:27There are rules around here.
14:28We've got to learn to stick by them.
14:29Besides, Myra's trying to make things better for us.
14:32Yeah.
14:33Myra, you really reckon I'll get a chance to learn all about engines and stuff?
14:37If I have my say, Cass, you'll get a proper apprenticeship.
14:39Make it a lot easier for you when you get out.
14:41Oh, that'll be the day when they let her out.
14:44Three murders and an escape rap.
14:46You realise you're locked up in here with three legs on a murder rap?
14:50Yeah, I need to go to the room.
14:55Watch the press, Jude.
14:56I have to go, too.
14:59You really believe that, don't you?
15:01What?
15:02About people doing their own thing.
15:04Yeah, so what's wrong with that?
15:05Oh, come on, you know.
15:07What?
15:08You put the idea into her head, but you're a bit stupid gloating about it.
15:12Listen, I tell you, I don't know what you're talking about.
15:14Kay has left home and you can take full credit.
15:16Why blame me?
15:17I didn't even know, all right?
15:22Now, I took you in off the street, you lousy little bitch.
15:26Hey.
15:28I took you into my home.
15:30In with my family.
15:32And how did you repay me?
15:34Climbed into bed with my husband.
15:36And then turned him against his own son.
15:38But that wasn't enough, was it, Gloria?
15:39Oh, no.
15:40You had to muck up my daughter's life the way you've mucked up yours.
15:42Because of you, she got picked up by the cops.
15:44But if she turns out like me than a murderess like your mother.
15:47You're going to regret you said that, slut.
15:49You just can't get over your old man dumping you when he found someone who could really give
15:52him what he wanted in bed.
15:54And don't blame me for what your little girl's done.
15:56She wiped you a long time ago.
15:58You're just the rotten bitch who killed her father and she can't wait to get up in court
16:02until I'm just fed.
16:03I'm going to do you a big favor, Gloria.
16:13I'm going to make sure that you never get into any trouble with a married man again.
16:20Or any man, for that matter.
16:23I mean, what have you got to offer better?
16:25Pretty face.
16:28What a thing.
16:32Well, it's not going to be pretty for very much longer.
16:35Desmond, you wouldn't be here if Mrs. Morris hadn't thought you were threatening Payne.
16:50She didn't see me strike, Payne.
16:53Meg?
16:54No, I didn't.
16:55But it was obvious you weren't having a friendly chat.
16:58Payne looked terrified.
16:59I had no choice but to report it.
17:01But you heard no actual threat being made?
17:04No.
17:05But I am aware that there's a lot of tension between the two women.
17:09Yes, I'm making arrangements for Payne to be transferred to another block.
17:12Myra, I simply cannot understand your behavior.
17:15After all the work you've done for the PIG and knowing your trial was coming up,
17:19I thought you'd be too intelligent to get yourself into this sort of trouble.
17:23Now, reorganizing things so I can move Payne is going to be difficult and time-consuming.
17:28So I want your word of honor that there'll be no more trouble with her before a transfer.
17:33Will you give me that?
17:34Yes.
17:35Right.
17:36But if you let me down...
17:37I won't let you down, Mrs. Reynolds.
17:39I promise.
17:40Good.
17:40I wouldn't accept that from a lot of the women, but in your case, I believe your word really does mean something.
17:46You're hurting my arm.
17:51I'll hurt a lot more than that if you give me trouble, baby.
17:54Look around.
17:55This is my territory.
17:57And anything that Gino and his brother Mario says around here goes.
18:00Got it?
18:01Yeah, I got it.
18:02Good.
18:02Good.
18:03Because we'll be watching you.
18:04And don't get any ideas about holding back on the cash.
18:08We don't like that.
18:10We don't like that at all.
18:11Hey, get it back on the walk.
18:20What's this dump?
18:27This is where you operate and where you stay.
18:30Come on.
18:30We'll get you settled in.
18:31I thought I had to start work now.
18:34I always test the merchandise before it goes out on the street.
18:37And you'd better be good.
18:39I like a little imagination.
18:41I'm like girls.
18:49Wasn't aware you had a sister, Gaffney?
18:51Maybe you just forgot, Mrs. Morris.
18:54How come she's never visited before?
18:56I think that's when she was overseas.
18:58She gets around a fair bit, you know.
19:00G'day, sis.
19:01Good to see you.
19:01And no physical contact, please.
19:04Sorry.
19:05Glad to see you, hon.
19:06Let's go and take a stroll.
19:11Okay.
19:12Who are you?
19:13Brenda, Mr. Hughes.
19:14How's he making out?
19:16Fine.
19:17Seems to think he's going to have a very good year.
19:20Let's have all his contracts work out.
19:22I'm sure they will.
19:23You want to know how you were?
19:25If you're still finding a few old friends around the place.
19:27Oh, yeah.
19:28And making some new ones, too.
19:29Everything's fine.
19:30Right, I'll have a look at that.
19:34Sure.
19:35Not very trusting, are they?
19:39Thanks.
19:40Just about x-rayed me while I was signing the visitor's book.
19:44I suppose they're doing the same to the soap and powder I brought in for you.
19:47Probably.
19:49God, anyone would think I wanted to come back to this bloody dump.
19:52Can you believe it?
19:53Next thing you know, they'll be giving us a breathalyser before they chuck us in the lock-up for the night.
19:57Hey, Picks, it's a go slow, not knock-off time.
20:03Oh, I was just thinking.
20:05The important, Bernsie, hand delivered.
20:07Probably a bloody summons with my luck.
20:09Oh, I've been looking through the paper, Mr. Manning.
20:11There are some lovely films on, aren't there?
20:14Yeah.
20:14Well, why don't you take some time off and go and see one?
20:17With a friend, of course.
20:18It makes all the difference if you have someone to share it with.
20:21You could be right.
20:23All the flame and cheek bloody hands has gone and asked me to his wedding.
20:26Oh, well, it's not that funny.
20:29I'm stuck in here because of him and now he's got the nerve to send me an invite.
20:33Well, I hope he falls out of bed and breaks his bloody leg.
20:36Yeah, before or after.
20:38Now, come along, Dory, and the least you can do is send him a telegram.
20:41Yeah, good one, Jude.
20:43Perhaps I could say, if you can't keep it up, use your paintbrush.
20:46Oh, yeah, what about good screws are hard to follow?
20:48Oh, that's just not nice.
20:51Hey, they're only clowning around.
20:54Pixie, are you all right?
20:55I'm fine.
20:57Something's bothering you.
20:59Oh, well, it worries me, Jude, that no one believes my story.
21:02I wouldn't have gone away with Ralph if I hadn't got the card from Mrs. Powell,
21:05but now I can see that Ralph wrote the card himself.
21:09It wasn't very nice, was it?
21:11No, it wasn't.
21:13And I believe you.
21:15So do I, Pixie.
21:17Just a pity you still haven't got that card, though.
21:19Oh, I have. It's in the room I was renting.
21:22I wouldn't throw away a wedding card, would I?
21:24No, I suppose you wouldn't.
21:26No, I suppose you wouldn't.
21:27Oh, well, I'll see you.
21:38I don't know.
21:39Oh, well, I can see you.
22:39Put them away and get back to work.
23:47What do you mean?
23:48If Desmond's going to try and pull this strike, she's going to need all the women behind her.
23:52If she cuts off their dope supply, she'll look over her shoulder and find there's no one there.
23:57Right.
23:58So we play along with her crummy union for now.
24:01Here's your cut, Hunt.
24:02What's it like?
24:03Try it for yourself.
24:04Where do you keep the rest of it?
24:06Where do you reckon I keep me brains?
24:08In me ass?
24:11Get out of here.
24:12So you see, that was the clincher.
24:20When she got the card, she thought it really was from Mrs. Powell that she really was being released.
24:25It's true.
24:27It's true.
24:28Well, I know it seems a bit batty, but then Pixie's record is a bit unusual.
24:32Is this true, Mason?
24:34Oh, yes, it is, Mrs. Reynolds.
24:36Can't you see why it's important to get it back now for evidence to prove that she was tricked into a scam?
24:41I see that, Bryant.
24:43All right, where's the card now?
24:45Oh, it's in my place.
24:46Oh, well, it must be because the police didn't take me back there.
24:49I didn't have a chance to pack anything.
24:51Well, perhaps if I went back there after my shift, I could try and find this card.
24:54Oh, that would be very sweet of you.
24:56Thank you very much.
24:57Yes, well, let's get this settled once and for all.
24:59Write down the address, Mason.
25:00Right.
25:01Oh, Mrs. Morris, do you think while you were over there you'd be able to pack up a few of my things?
25:05I have a lot of make-up there in my jewellery and the sweetest little peasant skirt I bought just the day before.
25:10It's blue.
25:11Oh, it's sort of a cornflower blue.
25:12Oh, well, not.
25:13No, it's a bit darker than that.
25:14Mason.
25:14It has a full skirt and the cutest little black tie around the waist.
25:16Mason.
25:17Yes, Mrs. Reynolds.
25:19Goodbye.
25:20I'll take you back to the gates.
25:21Yeah, thanks, Mrs. Morris.
25:22Come on, Pixie.
25:23Mrs. Reynolds, I'd just like to say thank you very much.
25:26Don't push your luck.
25:26Thank you, Mrs. Reynolds.
25:28Come on, Pixie.
25:31Yeah, well, let's hope Mrs. Morris finds that card, eh?
25:34At least that'll take a bit of the heat off.
25:36Oh, she will.
25:37I know she will.
25:38I just hope she doesn't forget my skirt.
25:40Well, you've got to have something to wear to court.
25:43And you've got to have something to take your mind off sharing with Margot.
25:46She's not very nice, you know.
25:47Not very nice?
25:48Well, that's the understatement of the year.
25:49She's a bloody creep.
25:51I'll tell you one thing.
25:52She gives you any trouble, any trouble at all, you tell me and I'll look after you.
25:55Oh, I'll be all right.
25:57Yeah, I know you'll be all right.
26:00What are you doing?
26:01I'm just taking my photos down.
26:02Why?
26:03Because I don't want them up anymore.
26:06But, Pixie, you're beautiful.
26:09Well, not to me, not anymore.
26:12Hey, have you let Ralph get you down?
26:14Now, that's not like you to let one guy get you down.
26:18Well, I expect I've changed.
26:21Well, I expect you'll be changing back to your old self again when you get out of here.
26:24I'll meet up with some other guy.
26:26No, no, no, that's all finished.
26:29Besides, there are other things, like friendship.
26:34Yeah, sure.
26:36Julie, I love this.
26:39And you made it for me, even though you thought you may never see me again.
26:45Why?
26:47Well, pink isn't my colour, Pixie.
26:51Why are you so good to me?
26:58I don't know.
27:00You're my friend.
27:03Yeah.
27:05Well, do you ever remember Gaffney having a visit from a sister?
27:08No, I don't.
27:09Right.
27:10Where's she been hiding herself these last four or five years?
27:13Well, if she is anything like Gaffney, hopefully under a rock.
27:16Is the governor going to do anything about this go slow nonsense?
27:20We run its course.
27:21Run is hardly the word.
27:23I'd say it's only a matter of time before Desmond gets the same thing underway in the kitchen and the workshop.
27:28Oh, I doubt whether it'll come to that.
27:30Mind you, her ability at organising things is pretty good.
27:34Top dog material.
27:35Oh, we're better off without a top dog.
27:38It's better the women.
27:40At least it keeps Mara's mind off Gloria Payne.
27:42That way everyone's better off.
27:44Why?
27:44Something happened.
27:45I was about to and I stepped in.
27:47Because O'Mara really meant business.
27:50You've got to keep those two apart.
27:51Well, I'll watch it.
27:56This top staff, can you try it?
27:58I'm going to have a line now.
27:59You'd be a bad enough to try it.
28:00Listen, just go and see Mara, but make sure you tell her that I've seen her.
28:03Hunt!
28:04Come on, the rest of you.
28:05Get a move on.
28:06Quick smile.
28:06Come on.
28:13Well, that must be the fastest you lot have moved all day.
28:17Yes, Miss Ferguson.
28:18You must have a bit of energy, Hunt.
28:22Eh?
28:23Well, this goes slow business.
28:25Now, if you don't expend energy, you conserve it.
28:28Therefore, you must have energy.
28:30I guess so.
28:31That's good, because I've got a little job for you.
28:33Doing what?
28:34I thought you'd like to get back at Payne for putting you in over the book.
28:38No one likes a lagger, do they?
28:40No.
28:41What do I have to do?
28:43Just mess her up a little.
28:45What's in it for me?
28:46Hey, I'll make sure that you stay as sweet as you are.
28:51Why don't you get Mara to do it?
28:53She'd sort her out for you.
28:54I said I had a job for you.
28:57Ferguson, I might get copped.
28:59Oh, I can't afford that to have.
29:00I'm not after being the bookie.
29:02You know, I think Desmond would be real grateful if you took care of Payne.
29:05In fact, I think she'd be so grateful, she'd take the rap herself.
29:08A good luck card from Poe Face?
29:21Sure, she sends one to everyone who escapes.
29:23But I didn't know I was escaping.
29:25Yeah?
29:26Who's going to believe that?
29:27I sure don't.
29:28They will when they see the card.
29:30I get too comfortable, you're leaving.
29:32No, I thought I'd write some letters.
29:34Get out.
29:34Well, I like that this isn't even your door.
29:39Yeah, she's a pushy bitch, isn't she?
29:41Come on.
29:43Piss off.
29:45How much?
29:50Ten bucks a line.
29:52Two forty a gram if you're a big spender.
29:55Not giving anything away, are you?
29:57You want a deal or not?
29:59Take a line.
30:00Take a line.
30:04Better be good.
30:08Trust me.
30:09Think I could.
30:11What's that supposed to mean?
30:13You're smart.
30:14You're going to have this place sewn up.
30:15That is the general idea.
30:18Maybe you could use some help.
30:20From you?
30:21Why not?
30:22I don't want to see Desmond on top or that fat dyke.
30:25Could use some help getting the coke in, selling it.
30:29Phyllis is useless.
30:30Yeah.
30:31She's a sneaky bitch too.
30:33Well, what about it?
30:38It's the joke.
30:39You!
30:41You are.
30:42What are you talking about?
30:44Talk that gets round this hole.
30:46Talk that gets all the way out to Barnhurst.
30:49Talk about you.
30:51About Reb Keene.
30:53You think I'm not onto you?
30:55You're a hustler.
30:57A two-timer, right?
30:59Yeah.
31:00Sure I am.
31:01Call again.
31:05Only next time, don't try and sell me a line.
31:07That's my business.
31:13Oh, it's just not fair.
31:14They had no reason to kick me out of my own dorm.
31:17They had a reason, all right.
31:18They're just not going to get away with it.
31:19Judy, I don't want you sorting out my problems all the time.
31:22It's not just your problem, Pixie.
31:24Margot is everyone's problem.
31:25What do you mean?
31:27She's dealing in cocaine.
31:29That's why she wanted you out of the dorm.
31:31Oh.
31:32I think I'll go and talk to Phyllis.
31:34No.
31:35She's with pain.
31:36We've got to keep away from her.
31:38But I don't have to.
31:39Well, it's nice to know you've developed a sense of humor at last, Phyllis.
31:48I'm going to need it if you're going to prop him.
31:51So Margot's decided to deal, right?
31:53And the guy don't care who deals as long as we play cats.
31:56Well, I'm glad you think it's funny.
32:02Because you are going to be laughing out of the other side of your face
32:05when the inside of your nose starts to rot from sniffing that stuff.
32:10What's the point?
32:12Come on, we're going visiting.
32:13Oh, we'll be visiting.
32:14No, you stay here.
32:16Get out of your door.
32:25Ten bucks.
32:26On the knocker.
32:28Yeah, well, I probably won't be buying too much of it at the price.
32:30Probably just as well.
32:31They reckon it's not too good for you.
32:33Phyllis said it was uncut.
32:34For once you can believe her.
32:35It's good stuff.
32:39How's business?
32:41Private.
32:42Better hurry up, Frances.
32:43You'll miss the news.
32:52Okay, Margot.
32:54Where's the dope?
32:54Where is it?
32:58Like I said before, it's private.
33:00So forget it and butt out.
33:02Where is the dope?
33:04You screw this up, you'll screw yourselves.
33:06Oh, how's it?
33:07The women like their dope.
33:09You mess up their supply, you think they're going to follow you?
33:12They won't even spit on you.
33:14You'll be out in the cold, both of you.
33:15We'll take our chances.
33:16Yes, yes.
33:30How about I just leave you to it?
33:33Hang on.
33:34Get your dyke paws off me.
33:48Well, well, well.
33:51And what are you charging for these little things?
33:53How much?
33:55Ten.
33:56Oh, you're making a lovely profit out of that.
34:00Well, where's the rest of it?
34:02Okay, okay.
34:03Mrs. O'Regan keeps a stash moving.
34:05No, no, no.
34:06Kidding.
34:06She's the coat queen.
34:08Stashes it with her baking powder.
34:10You want to try one of her lamingtons sometime?
34:12What do you say, Jude?
34:13Oh, you bitch!
34:14The only thing I have to say to you, the only thing, is that you have just gone out of business.
34:22Is it working on you yet?
34:23Yep.
34:23I feel real nice.
34:24I wish I had the cash to buy, Grandma.
34:26It grabs me off by the line.
34:28Oh, quick, it's about Bobby and Sonia!
34:30...that Mitchell was caught up in the escape.
34:33Mitchell was a last-minute transfer from Wentworth to Barnhurst,
34:36and police have not discounted the possibility that she might be in some danger.
34:40The police escorting the woman were found bound and gagged
34:44in what was a highly professional operation.
34:48And now, let's cross to Jeff...
34:49Well, they think Bobby might be in danger.
34:50I managed to muddle through.
34:52Oh, this is a bit different, Pixie.
34:53They only wanted to take Sonia, but they got Bobby as well.
34:56They'll probably just let her go, though.
34:57Oh, sure they will.
34:59They'll let her go so she can get picked up and put the finger on them.
35:02Well, anyone can see that.
35:04That's enough, fellas.
35:06They'll waste her.
35:08That's what they'll do.
35:09That's enough.
35:09Oh, poor Bobby.
35:11As if it isn't bad enough being with Sonia,
35:13but imagine being with Sonia and her friends.
35:16Pixie, I'm afraid you're going to have a little bit of housekeeping to do.
35:19We messed up your cell looking for Margot's dope.
35:21Did you find anything?
35:23Oh, just a bit.
35:23We don't know where the main stuff is, though.
35:25Look, I could find it.
35:26Even if she carries it on her, what does it look like?
35:28No, Pixie, you stay right out of it.
35:31That's right.
35:32Leave it to the big girls.
35:34Oh.
35:34Oh.
35:39Oh, I'm beat.
35:44That's all that work you're doing for Margot.
35:47What's it like being her flunky?
35:49I'm not her flunky.
35:50We're partners.
35:51Oh, yeah.
35:53Maybe we could be partners.
35:55You know where she keeps the dope.
35:57I'd rather team up with a death adder.
35:59Do you know where she's got the coat?
36:00Of course I do.
36:01We're partners, aren't we?
36:03Where?
36:05Tell you.
36:06Come on.
36:07Where do you think I keep me brains in me bum?
36:11Maybe.
36:13It's enough like your face.
36:17Right.
36:18Lock up, ladies.
36:19Sleep well.
36:20Thank you, and thanks for the cell shuffle.
36:21Yeah, thanks a lot.
36:22No trouble.
36:23Well, we got rid of Sonia.
36:24Now all we have to do is get rid of Gaffney and Payne.
36:26Well, Mrs Reynolds is having her transferred to another block.
36:28And you gave your word.
36:31Yes, I know.
36:31But the sooner she's gone, the better.
36:33I never want to see her again.
36:34Good night.
36:35Good night.
36:35Oh, Mrs. Em, any word from Ellen about Kay?
36:38No, I'm sorry.
36:39But I'm sure if he hears anything, he'll be in touch with us.
36:42If he does get in touch, no matter how late, you'll get word through.
36:44Yes, you can count on me.
36:45Good night.
36:46Good night.
36:49Oh, God, Jude, where the hell is she?
36:55Sixteen years of age, and she thinks she knows everything.
36:58She's just a kid.
36:59She doesn't know anything.
37:01That bitch, Gloria.
37:03What sort of scum can lead a kid astray with dope and booze?
37:07I swear, Jude, if I crack, I'm going to kill Gloria.
37:09As soon as she's away from here, the better.
37:11Now, Myra, you mustn't think like that at all.
37:13I can't help it, Jude.
37:14Not until I know that Kay is safe and that she can forgive me.
37:17She can forgive you?
37:19You said yourself she's just a kid.
37:21One day she's going to realise that what you did was because you loved her.
37:24I'm glad you're in here.
37:30I got crazy on my own.
37:31Thanks.
37:33Hey, you know what we should do?
37:35We should try and get transferred to a three-bed cell.
37:37That way we could get little Pixie to share with us.
37:39That would enliven us up a bit.
37:40Yeah, we should get her away from Margot.
37:43Yeah, it's not just Margot.
37:45Something else is bothering her.
37:47Why do you say that?
37:49I don't know.
37:50She's still bright and cheerful and everything, but something's bothering her.
37:54Something's hurt her.
37:57You're very fond of her, aren't you?
38:00Yeah, I am.
38:01She's got, uh, she's got what you said, you know, innocence.
38:05She has that.
38:08Did you tell me to, uh, mind my own business, but you're not getting involved, are you?
38:13I'd hate to see you get hurt.
38:17She just brings out the maternal instinct in me, that's all.
38:20She's, uh, someone I want to look after and help over the bumpy patches, that's it.
38:25I'll have that.
38:33You know, you should invest in some of this stuff.
38:35I think you'd like it.
38:36I'd rather not.
38:38Oh, well, I've got plenty of customers.
38:39I don't need to hear you.
38:41You wouldn't dare.
38:43What are you talking about?
38:44Oh, sure.
38:46Bloody Judy.
38:47Is she a dyke girlfriend looking after you?
38:49Judy's my friend.
38:50She's not my girlfriend.
38:52Wait till she's been through here a couple of times.
38:54You won't be so prissy or pure.
38:56I'm not prissy and I've never pretended to be pure.
38:59I've never pretended to be anything that I'm not.
39:01Come on.
39:02I can see straight through that little girl lost act.
39:06I can see the way Judy laps it up, too.
39:08You're wrong.
39:09Suit yourself, Snow White.
39:11Don't call me that.
39:13I've never set myself up to be anything special.
39:16But I'm certainly better than you with your bullying and your dope peddling.
39:19I hate sharing with you.
39:21I wish they'd come and pack all of your drugs up and send you back to Barnhurst with them.
39:24Would you keep your voice down?
39:26Why?
39:26Everybody knows you're selling drugs.
39:28A whole prison does.
39:29Shut up.
39:30The bloody screws don't.
39:32I don't want another word out of you.
39:34I'm going to be top dog of this crap heap.
39:36Screw Judy and Myra.
39:38The women will stick with me because I can supply what they want.
39:41And no one's going to get in my way.
39:50Got any more stuff?
39:52Sure.
39:52You got any money?
39:53Well, no, not right now.
39:54But I might be getting a visitor later.
39:56That saves a couple of lines, will ya?
39:58What's it here to?
39:59Nothing.
40:00Nothing?
40:01Good.
40:01That's what we like to hear.
40:02Brian, Mason, Cain, Gaffney, Martin, Fisher, Combs and Lime in the laundry.
40:08Harvey, Hunt, Desmond and Payne in the kitchen.
40:11What's wrong with Gloria?
40:12Excuse me, Miss Ferguson.
40:13It's okay, it's okay.
40:14What?
40:15Miss Ferguson, couldn't we have Myra in the laundry?
40:17She's rusted in the kitchen, Brian.
40:19Yeah, I know that, but she's really useful in the laundry.
40:21She's got it on the press.
40:22You can handle that, Brian.
40:25Desmond stays in the kitchen.
40:26But Miss Ferguson...
40:27She stays in the kitchen.
40:30Right, everybody out.
40:31Quick smile.
40:31It's all right, Jude.
40:32I won't know your hand on the bitch.
40:33All right, but you be careful.
40:35If she goad you, you just ignore her.
40:36I promise you there'll be no trouble.
40:38I hope so.
40:40Well, once we get in the kitchen, you don't see nothing, you don't say nothing.
40:42Understand?
40:43What are you talking about?
40:44You see, just keep your mouth shut.
40:49To Pixie regards Mrs. Pearl.
40:52You really think she fell for this?
40:54Yes.
40:55Anyone else and I just couldn't believe it, but Pixie, I believe it.
40:58Well, the only other explanation is that she wrote the card herself, and that she was going
41:02to use it to strengthen her story about being tricked.
41:04Can you see Pixie looking that far ahead?
41:06No, not unless she was focused on a wedding.
41:09Right.
41:10Now, I really believe she thought the card came from you.
41:13Okay.
41:14I'm convinced, but I don't think it's going to help her case.
41:17Why not?
41:17Well, we know her.
41:19Come on, we know how batty she can be.
41:21But who else is going to believe that Pixie Mason thought she was going to be released
41:25from prison because her boyfriend told her so, and that he gave her a card from the acting
41:30governor?
41:31It's mad.
41:32Doesn't sound too rational.
41:34Well, I think it'd be worse for her if they did believe it.
41:37Why?
41:38Because they would put her in a home for the mentally bewildered.
41:41Or bewildering.
41:42If only we'd find this Ralph Cranton.
41:44Forget it, Meg.
41:45I don't want you tracking down accomplices.
41:47It's not your job.
41:49Look, even if you did find him, I doubt whether he'd admit to it.
41:52He'd end up in a slammer himself.
41:54Well, I still say that that card is the key to getting Pixie off the hook.
41:57I hope so.
41:58Otherwise, we'll throw the other key away.
42:00Oh, God, I'm nearly asleep working at this pace.
42:07Well, Myra said we go slow, so we go slow.
42:10It's going to wear the screws down a lot quicker than it's going to wear us down.
42:13You want a bet?
42:15I don't know what you're complaining for, Margot.
42:17You've always worked at this pace.
42:19Have a word with you, Meg.
42:23Listen, how are you going sharing with Margot?
42:25Oh, she's awful.
42:26She was rubbing her drug deals in her little packages last night.
42:29Did you see where she was getting them from?
42:31She got them out of her pockets, but I'm sure I can find them.
42:33She sleeps heavily.
42:34I almost got up and had a look around.
42:36Pixie, for God's sake, you mustn't do that.
42:39Margot's a very dangerous person, now I mean it.
42:42Oh, but I can help.
42:42What are you going to do about it?
42:45Nothing.
42:45What?
42:46Well, not at the moment.
42:47Right now, my main concern is Myra and Gloria being put in together.
42:51But you said Myra promised to behave herself.
42:52She did.
42:53But she also hates Gloria's guts.
42:55All Gloria has to do is say one little thing that's not right, Myra could go with a cleaver.
43:00Hey, Pixie, you want to do a pick-up?
43:06You're so good at it.
43:08And what the hell does that mean?
43:10Kick it around.
43:11I'll kick you around, mate, if you don't give me a straight answer.
43:14But straight, you can't use it.
43:15Isn't that right, Pixie?
43:17Why are you saying all of these things?
43:19They're just not true.
43:20Settle down.
43:21Well, I don't care if you're a liar.
43:23And I don't care if I lie you.
43:26Now, hey!
43:26Now you go and do your own dirty work and mind your own bloody business.
43:37You're sure giving Myra a wide booth.
43:39Don't trust that mad bitch.
43:41Especially if she's got a knife.
43:43You'll be okay.
43:44I'll keep an eye on that.
43:45Yeah.
43:46Wish I had some coke.
43:48Keep my mind off her.
43:49Yeah, well, I reckon you're on her mind, too.
43:52Yeah.
43:53Why don't they roster me somewhere else?
43:55She's giving me the creaks.
43:57Don't worry about her.
43:58She's nothing.
43:59You'll be all right.
44:00Come on, get her move on.
44:01We want this stuff for lunch, not supper.
44:04Oh, yeah.
44:05She's right.
44:06Better get this on or we won't have any tucker.
44:10Oh, God!
44:11My butterfingers!
44:12Don't worry.
44:13They don't know what to do, eh?
44:14It's what I say.
44:15You bitch!
44:21You stupid cruel bitch!
44:23Oh, my God!
44:23What's happening?
44:24She's mad!
44:24She's got evasion of caught water over a cloud of water!
44:27I'm standing over there!
44:28I have begun to...
44:29Why do you have two fellas?
44:30She's going to go away from her!
44:32I'm going to tell her, for God's sake!
44:34I'm disciplined.
44:35You're on her charge.
44:37A warranted and sadistic attack on a fellow prisoner.
44:39He used to give me roses
44:49I wish he could again
44:54But that was on the outside
45:00And things were different then
45:05On the inside
45:06The sun still shines
45:10And the rain falls down
45:15But the sun and rain are Christmas too
45:20When morning comes around
45:24Last night I dreamed we were together
45:30Sharing all the love with more
45:35Till I had to face the nightmare
45:41Of waking up alone
45:45On the inside
45:47On the inside
45:47The roses grow
45:49They don't land the stony ground
45:55But the roses here are Christmas too
46:00When morning comes around
46:05On the inside
