00:00There's a whole host of stars in our Michael Caine movie tonight.
00:14James Caine, Elliot Gould and Diane Keaton in Walter and Harry go to New York.
00:18That's after Prisoner Cell Block H, which is next.
00:24Now, if you're a fan of Western films, here's something for you.
00:27The Movie Makers takes a look at the making of five classic Westerns.
00:31That's later at 2.15.
00:34I'll look after you.
00:37How can you in here?
00:39Because I'm being released on Monday.
00:42That's how.
00:44You sure?
00:45Of course I'm sure.
00:48And you're like the rest.
00:51Never stay out of trouble for long.
00:53Oh, look, Mum, I know what I'm doing.
00:56I've been keeping me nose clean, see?
00:59Can't wait to get out of the stinking hole and all them smart-ass bitches.
01:04I hate them.
01:04I hate them bloody well.
01:07Well, they're in for a big shock.
01:09Oh, there you go again.
01:11Mum, I know what I'm doing.
01:14No one catch me this time.
01:15Look, Meg, you're lonely.
01:19You've admitted that.
01:21Well, my private life isn't exactly a great social whirl.
01:24So what is wrong with two lonely people getting together occasionally and if it leads to other
01:29things, well, what's the harm?
01:30Well, loneliness isn't a good basis for a relationship, you know that.
01:33Look what happened to Vera.
01:34Look, I'm not saying it's ideal, but it's a start, isn't it?
01:38It's a start.
01:38Well, say yes.
01:43I don't know.
01:47Friends?
01:55Can I come around tonight?
01:56A lot of people don't realise that many of the women here find it very difficult to
02:07cope with the outside world once they've been released and they need a refuge, a kind
02:12of hiding place while they learn to readjust to the realities of the new lives and somewhere
02:17they can be sure of finding a helpful hand and a friendly face.
02:21In short, a halfway house.
02:23Ladies and gentlemen, I have no intention of boring all of you with yet another speech.
02:44I just want to say this.
02:46The colour television set here is a symbol, nothing more, of the help that I hope to be
02:50able to provide from time to time for the women of Wentworth.
02:53It is not an act of charity on my behalf, but a gift to them from a friend.
03:06This is monstrous.
03:08How could they?
03:09And you talk me into helping these creatures.
03:12They're nothing more than animals.
03:13My aunt, please, it's not...
03:14We've made the papers.
03:36How bad is it?
03:37Oh, we have a comic here.
03:38He's treating it as a joke.
03:40Well, it's better than dramatising it.
03:41Perhaps you don't care that the entire prison service is being held to ridicule?
03:45Well, no one could say that.
03:46The department already has.
03:48They've just been on the phone and they hold me personally responsible.
03:51It was Mrs. DeVere who started the whole thing.
03:53But I invited the press.
03:56No, it's my own fault.
03:57I forgot the type of woman we're dealing with.
04:01I am cancelling all privileges until further notice.
04:05They'll understand that.
04:06Yes, I think they will.
04:07Does that mean you're stopping work and study release?
04:08It does.
04:09Oh, but Lynn Warner and Karen Travis were...
04:11They must have known about it, Meg.
04:12But they play deaf, dumb and blind.
04:15It's about time they all learned a lesson.
04:17Well, Travis and Warner will be...
04:18Well, stop them.
04:19And report back here as soon as you've done that.
04:22We are holding a spot check on every cell and dormitory
04:26till we find whatever it was they used to smash that TV set.
04:30Never seen her so angry.
04:32Yes, she's finally woken up.
04:34So unlike Mrs. Davidson, she used to be so reasonable.
04:36There must be something else bugging her.
04:38Look, she's been made a public laughingstock by a bunch of crims.
04:41What do you expect her to do?
04:42Pat them on the back?
04:43Now you go and look in the dormitories and I'll check at the desk.
04:49You can stop that.
04:50Nobody's going anywhere.
04:51All privileges have been cancelled.
04:53Why?
04:53Oh, look, don't act dumber than you already are, Warner.
04:56Now get back to your cells.
04:58Both of you.
04:59They can't do that.
05:01Yes, they can.
05:02But it's not fair.
05:03What did you expect after yesterday?
05:05Heads were bound to roll.
05:06Look, we weren't even involved.
05:07No innocent bystanders in this place, Lynn.
05:10Come on.
05:10I thought you'd be in the laundry.
05:21I thought you'd be out in the town.
05:22No, no, no.
05:23My privilege is cancelled.
05:25Oh, tough.
05:26Nice day for it, too.
05:28Hey, tell me, what do you do when you get out there?
05:30Oh, go to my lectures, go to the library, sit on the grass, eat my lunch.
05:34Oh, you're a regular little tearaway, aren't you?
05:36Don't you have a nick off and have some fun?
05:38I have fun.
05:38Just breathing the air outside's fun.
05:40Yeah, but what about the blokes?
05:41What blokes?
05:42Oh, the place must be thick with blokes.
05:45Hmm.
05:47Talk, talk, talk.
05:48I can hardly get a word in edgewise.
05:49Oh, Bea, I've got to study.
05:50If you want company, go to the laundry.
05:52Oh, with that Goddard dame bignotting herself all over the place,
05:55I'd puke in the dryer.
05:57What's Clara ever done to you?
05:59Oh, they think she's Christmas or that's stupid.
06:01But just you wait.
06:02She'll come the proverbial.
06:04You'll see.
06:05But what's she done?
06:07She got us into strife, didn't she?
06:09Oh, you don't think she smashed the television?
06:11All I'm saying is it wouldn't have happened if I'd been in charge.
06:14Madam Clara.
06:16Couldn't run a sewing bee.
06:18Well, do you know who did it?
06:20I've got a pretty good idea.
06:22I'm not stupid.
06:23And I know everything that goes on here.
06:25Now, uh, take that doctor boyfriend of yours, for instance.
06:32Oh.
06:34Not interested?
06:36But he's not my boyfriend.
06:38Oh, then it's no skin off your nose, then, is it?
06:41It's no skin off my nose.
06:43That is having it off with one of the screws.
06:46I'd say my nose was unaffected.
06:50Huh.
06:52Which one?
06:53Oh, no.
06:53You didn't want to know.
06:55Oh.
06:55On your feet.
06:57I want you two out of here.
06:58Smith, you go to the laundry.
07:00Travis, you can study in the recreation room.
07:02Hmm.
07:02Hey, uh, you all right now, Mrs Jackson?
07:05That was a nasty bump on the head she got, you know.
07:08I'm glad the doctor's looking after you, all right?
07:09Not only no colour TV, now we've got no TV at all.
07:19And it's not as though we've done it, either.
07:22It's iniquitous.
07:23I mean, why should you all be punished because of one foolish girl?
07:26It's so unfair.
07:28You tell them, Tinkerbell.
07:30You know, you'd think that you'd have the common sense to confess.
07:35Oh, yes, but you're dead sure to do that.
07:36Well, don't you think so?
07:42Who, me?
07:43Who are you talking to me?
07:44I thought you said something.
07:47She's like a girl guide in a brothel.
07:48She hasn't got a clue.
07:50Well, you don't need a clue if you've got an education.
07:54I've never claimed that education could take the place of, uh,
07:58practical experience.
08:01Bea, you know this prison inside out.
08:05Why don't you find who's responsible?
08:07Why should I?
08:08Well, why not?
08:09I mean, we're all being punished for something we didn't do.
08:12But you're the big cheese around here.
08:13Now, why don't you do it?
08:15And while you're at it, you could have a word with the governor
08:16and straighten her out as well.
08:19Very well, I will.
08:22Erica is going about this the wrong way.
08:27Isn't she marvellous?
08:29Bloody mums!
08:41Where was it?
08:42In the shower block.
08:43Stuffed behind one of the toilets.
08:45Anyone could have hidden it there.
08:47In that case, the ban on privileges remains.
08:50Well, do you think that's a good idea?
08:51I mean, the guilty party may not still be in the prison.
08:54Why do you say that?
08:55Well, anyone who had to stop in here would hardly smash up a TV set.
08:58Now, Norlene Burke was released this morning.
09:00You know how she felt about everybody.
09:02We don't know it was her.
09:04Any one of them could have been responsible for it.
09:06I agree.
09:07The ban on privileges remains.
09:09That is all.
09:14Can you spare a tiny moment, please, Erica?
09:17What are you doing here?
09:18Well, I wouldn't insist, but it's so important.
09:25Now, please don't think I'm being unduly critical.
09:28But was it necessary to ban all privileges?
09:31They long for TV, the poor things.
09:33They haven't anything else, you see.
09:34Are you here as the prisoner's elected representative?
09:38Well, yes, I suppose I am, really.
09:41Then I suggest you go back and tell them
09:43that until they are willing to accept responsibility
09:46for one another's actions,
09:48they will have to suffer the consequences of those actions.
09:51But isn't that being a tiny bit unfair?
09:54Wouldn't it be more positive for you
09:56to channel your efforts into finding the guilty party?
10:00Are you telling me how to run this prison?
10:02Oh, no, no, I'm just offering suggestions.
10:04I promised the girls I would, you see.
10:06It appears to me you are undermining my authority.
10:10Is hardline authority wise, Erica?
10:13Isn't it counterproductive?
10:15I mean, you know as well as I do
10:17that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
10:19You will stop calling me Erica.
10:21You will address me as governor or Mrs. Davidson.
10:25You will speak only when you are spoken to
10:27and you will not have the impertinence
10:28to come to this office without an appointment.
10:31Oh, dear!
10:32My advice to you
10:33is to keep out of my way
10:35and not compound the damage you have already done.
10:39Damage me?
10:40You have abused privileges I have given you.
10:44You who should have set an example.
10:45Because of you
10:47I have exposed my officers to ridicule
10:51and the department to humiliation.
10:53I lay yesterday's debacle wholly and solely at your door.
10:58But it wasn't a debacle until the very end.
11:01We're all having a wonderful time
11:03and they're all very enthusiastic about my halfway house project.
11:06I mean, you were yourself.
11:08You made a marvelous speech to the media.
11:10Then I have changed my mind.
11:13I see no point
11:14in creating a home for women
11:16who have no more sense than a common vandal.
11:19Oh, one poor demented creature externalizing her miseries.
11:22Must I send for a warder
11:23or will you leave this office of your own accord?
11:38I understand, dear.
11:39It's a bad time of the month.
11:46God, how much longer are they going to keep us here for?
11:49As long as it suits them, I suppose.
11:51Oh, Sid's just been waiting for a chance to sack me.
11:54Would he do that?
11:54Yes, he's done it once already.
11:56But he took you back
11:57and you do your work, don't you?
11:59My work and more.
12:00One thing about a Wentworth girl,
12:02she tries harder.
12:03She has to.
12:04Well, then why should he fire you?
12:06Oh, he doesn't like me being there
12:07while his son's around.
12:08I told you about Jeff.
12:10I thought he was back at uni.
12:12Oh, he is, but he drops in from time to time.
12:15Well, if he's there to supervise you,
12:16I don't know what he's worrying about.
12:18Now, if you were Bea...
12:19Poor old Bea.
12:21She certainly didn't last long outside.
12:23I think she enjoyed herself.
12:24Oh, I couldn't bear knowing that I'd never get out.
12:27I mean, it's bad enough as it is,
12:29having one foot in, one out.
12:31Yeah, sort of like being on another planet.
12:35I look at those kids at uni
12:37with almost nothing on their minds
12:39and sometimes I'm amazed
12:41that we even speak the same language.
12:43Do they ask you out?
12:44Yeah.
12:45Parties and barbecues.
12:47I'm running out of excuses not to go.
12:49One boy came up to me the other day
12:52and said,
12:53are you a nun in cities or something?
12:55Oh, no, I see them on the bus coming home,
12:58planning where they'll go, what to do.
13:01I don't know.
13:03Don't worry, Lyn.
13:04Our time will come.
13:06We're really the lucky ones.
13:08Oh, she's still there.
13:28Yeah.
13:29Looks kind of Greek or something.
13:31Funny you don't often get them on the game.
13:36No onions.
13:37I told him.
13:39You want to get her out of the cold?
13:41Sure.
13:42I always arrest people with a cup of coffee in one hand
13:44and a hamburger in the other.
13:46Use your head.
13:48You got all the bloody onions, didn't you?
13:54Irene, what are you doing here?
13:58It's not right for a nice Greek girl.
14:01Irene, do you hear me?
14:02I don't want to say anything.
14:04I don't want to talk to you.
14:05I don't want to talk to you.
14:08I don't want to talk to you.
14:09I think I won't spot on us.
14:17An astynoomia.
14:18I don't want to go with my son.
14:20I'm going to go with you.
14:23Oh, my God, you're not worthy.
14:39I don't know what you've been up to. There have been complaints.
15:09What? Speak English?
15:15No English? Oh, great.
15:17How did she stay in business then?
15:24Oh, dear. You're confined to barracks. That's a shame.
15:27Stayed to keep me company, didn't you, Wonk?
15:29I didn't, and don't call me Wonk.
15:31Don't get off your bike. I was only joking.
15:34Did the governor say for how long?
15:37Ooh, the governor.
15:38No. I wonder whatever happened to Eric.
15:42Maybe they'll let you work in the garden here. I'd give you a hand.
15:46Yeah, like last time.
15:48That was different. I was all upset about Frankie.
15:51Oh, I can't be bothered, Doreen.
15:53You don't want to come back and work in the laundry.
15:56Tell you what, we'll ask Mrs Davidson if we can both go and work in the garden.
16:00She's not in the mood for favours.
16:01I'll ask her.
16:02You'll ask her.
16:03Yeah, I'm going.
16:05And you wouldn't feel so locked up out there among the cabbages.
16:08I thought the Devere woman was going to pay all those expenses.
16:15Originally, that was the idea.
16:17But I shouldn't be at all surprised if she changes her mind about that as well.
16:20I think we ought to be prepared to put the bill ourselves.
16:23What will we put it down to?
16:24Public relations?
16:25That was the general idea of the exercise.
16:28Pretty expensive exercise.
16:29It certainly was.
16:32Are you sure these figures are correct?
16:35The kitchen staff's usually pretty reliable.
16:37We seem to have used an inordinate amount of cream and eggs.
16:41With that Goddard woman running the show, God knows what they pinched.
16:45Well, the rest of the list is quite reasonable.
16:47What on earth could the women do with all that cream and eggs?
16:50Probably stuffed themselves silly.
16:52Oh, it's not possible. Not this amount.
16:53And besides, they were supervised the entire time during the operation.
16:58Weren't they?
17:00I needed Williams outside.
17:01Oh, really, Vera?
17:03You left them alone in the kitchen after what happened last time.
17:05I needed her outside with all those people milling around.
17:09Anyway, I don't know why you let Goddard in the kitchen again.
17:12Very well. Point taken.
17:14She can't be trusted.
17:15None of them can.
17:16I said point taken, Vera.
17:18Mrs. Davidson.
17:19What are you doing in here, Anderson? Get back to the laundry.
17:22I want to speak to Mrs. Davidson.
17:23Then you make an appointment with the duty officer like everyone else.
17:27Get back to work.
17:28It's all right, Miss Bennet.
17:29What is it?
17:30Uh, could, uh, Lynn and me work in the garden, please?
17:34Oh, Miss Bennet.
17:35Would you check those figures again, please?
17:38All the prisoners have been confined to the main building.
17:42What makes you think you and Warner should be given special consideration?
17:44Oh, it's not that, Mrs. Davidson.
17:47It's just that with everybody working on the inside, well, there aren't enough jobs to go around.
17:51Well, I'm sure Miss Bennet could fix that up for you.
17:53With pleasure.
17:55Oh, but there's millions of things to do out in the garden.
17:57And since Wonk, uh, Lynn went on work release, well, things got real bad out there.
18:02I had no idea you cared so much, Doreen.
18:05Oh, yeah?
18:06Almost as much, it seems, as you care about working in the kitchen.
18:10Hmm?
18:11Perhaps you could tell me how you managed to use so much cream and eggs when preparing a few savouries.
18:18Oh.
18:19Oh.
18:21Yeah.
18:22Oh, well, we did break a few things, Mrs. Davidson, but we cleaned up the mess.
18:26And if we was out in the garden, well, then we couldn't break nothing, could we?
18:30Oh, I'm real sorry about that, Mrs. Davidson, and I'm sorry about the tally.
18:34We all are.
18:35But Lynn and me, we didn't do nothing, honest.
18:38I wanted that colour tally more than anything, Mrs. Davidson.
18:41And Lynn's so miserable about losing her work release and being all shut up inside, and we'd be real good, promise?
18:47Promise?
18:48Who do you think you're kidding, Anderson?
18:50Go back to the laundry, Doreen, and I'll think about it.
18:52Maybe tomorrow.
18:53Oh, gee, Mrs. Davidson.
18:55Thanks.
18:56We'll be real good.
18:57Mrs. Davidson, you can't be serious about...
18:58Vera, would you please refrain from telling me what I can and cannot do?
19:03Now, shall we continue?
19:05Alèkko, τι ώρα είναι αυτή?
19:24Why did you do it?
19:26Why did you do it?
19:26Why did you do it?
19:26Why did you do it?
19:27And of course...
19:28Speak English, Tessa, speak English.
19:30If you do not speak English, how will Irene learn?
19:33Irene?
19:34She is nothing but trouble to this house.
19:36My sister is not trouble.
19:39Your sister has been arrested by the astronomia.
19:42She has papers.
19:43We saw to that.
19:43The police thinks she goes with men for money.
19:48To Dromo?
19:49Prostia?
19:52No, not Irene.
19:53It must be a mistake.
19:55A language mistake.
19:56Tessa, why did you let this happen?
19:58I could do nothing.
20:00Nothing.
20:02Irene.
20:03You know why I ran.
20:05Tessa, are you crazy?
20:07She used to be married to Stavros.
20:09Do you know what she's going to do when he finds out?
20:11We must go to the police.
20:13We must release her.
20:14Not the police.
20:16We cannot leave her in jail.
20:18Get Stavros.
20:19He is her, man.
20:20Where is Stavros?
20:21Get his uncle, then.
20:23His uncle is a dικηγόρο.
20:25Stéphanos Michael will know what to do.
20:27Yes.
20:28He will tell them his amistai.
20:29They'll apologize to Irene and let her come home.
20:32Answer me.
20:43This was a really great idea, wasn't it?
20:48It's better than being in the laundry like we were yesterday.
20:51Oh, look.
20:56A worm.
20:57Want it down your neck?
20:59I'll grow up, Doreen.
21:01We could start a worm farm.
21:03Hanley, how would you tell the difference between girl worms and boy worms?
21:08Look, I don't know and I don't care.
21:10You're not still worried about that old job, are you?
21:16I think it's been real good out here, digging all week, you know, and getting sweaty and stuff.
21:20Don't you think it's been real good?
21:22Oh, it's not like being on the outside.
21:24I didn't have much fun on the outside.
21:26Well, what do you expect?
21:27You were on the run.
21:28You weren't and you didn't do much good for yourself either.
21:30Yeah, well, next time it'll be different.
21:32I've heard all that before.
21:34I'd inside you two.
21:35Paddy Wagon's coming through.
21:37It's not me you have to worry about, Mrs Jackson.
21:39She's the one who wants to nick off.
22:03Stand on the line, please.
22:25Oh, she doesn't speak English.
22:26How can I read the girl her rights?
22:28She won't understand.
22:29Does anyone here speak Greek?
22:31I don't think so.
22:32English is good enough for us.
22:33It's good enough for her.
22:34She has no idea what I'm saying.
22:36The regulations say her rights must be read to her.
22:39There's nothing about reading them in Greek.
22:48Irene Zervos.
22:50You have been found guilty of prostitution and sentenced to 21 days in prison.
22:54Is that correct?
22:57Sign for her and take her to the showers.
23:02Come on.
23:08All right, garden party over.
23:10Yeah, we had to come inside because of the paddy wagon.
23:12Yeah, they wouldn't trust us to stay out there while the gates were open.
23:16That's petty.
23:17How can they expect cooperation when they treat you like that?
23:20They didn't used to, but they got her down on all of us now.
23:23Dava never used to be that bad.
23:25Mind you, she wasn't that good either.
23:26But she wasn't jack of us the way she is now.
23:29Yeah, she's been awful since the barbecue.
23:31Well, you can't really blame her.
23:32I mean, she looked like a mug in front of the press and ended up with eagle over her face over that halfway house rubbish.
23:37Yeah, you'd have to be bonkers to think that'd work.
23:40Yeah, and now I miss out on my job and Karen can't go to uni.
23:43But how was I to know that someone was going to smash the television set?
23:48How did you expect me to know?
23:50We didn't expect you to know anything, Tinkerbell.
23:52And not a word of English.
24:06There's nothing much we can do about that.
24:08It's possible she's too frightened to talk.
24:10It hardly matters.
24:11She's only in for 21 days.
24:13Oh, can't we at least get her an interpreter?
24:15I don't think she understands what's happened.
24:17She's not much more than a child.
24:18This child was seen soliciting in broad daylight, several times, and once near the local school.
24:24The residents complained to the police.
24:26Perhaps someone in here speaks Greek.
24:28Among the prisoners?
24:29I doubt it.
24:30There certainly aren't any Greek girls in at the moment.
24:33In fact, Zervos is something of an exception.
24:35There's usually too much family pressure keeping them in line.
24:38Clara might have a word or two.
24:40Or perhaps Karen.
24:41They're better educated than...
24:41Then ask them.
24:43Is there anything else?
24:46No.
24:47No, that's all.
24:47The police?
24:59No.
25:00Stavros.
25:01He used to be away for three weeks.
25:02What will we tell him?
25:06Welcome, Stavros.
25:07Welcome.
25:07Well, about time, Alex.
25:09How are you?
25:10And Tessa?
25:12Where is Irene?
25:14She's not here.
25:16Where is she?
25:17Uh, she's away.
25:18Stavro on holiday.
25:20Alone?
25:22Look, I heard she was in trouble.
25:24That's why I came back.
25:27Well?
25:28Who told you all this?
25:30It's all lies.
25:32Where is she?
25:33It's true, she is in a bit of trouble.
25:37But it's all a mistake.
25:38She's a good girl, my little sister.
25:40Look, I wish you speak to her, Alex.
25:43You can't.
25:43She's in prison.
25:45Prison?
25:46Why?
25:48What has she done?
25:50Nothing.
25:51It's all a mistake.
25:53Go and ask your uncle, Stefanos Mikhail.
25:56He'll tell you.
25:57It's all a mistake.
25:58Well, I hope so, for all our sakes.
26:00I went to a lot of expense to bring your sister into this country.
26:04There is no time to talk about money now, Stavros.
26:07Perhaps not.
26:09We'll see.
26:11What do we do now?
26:23There is nothing we can do.
26:36You all right?
26:39Excuse me.
26:40You okay?
26:42Who are you?
26:43What do you want?
26:44Is she Greek or something?
26:47Yes.
26:50Are you Elenida?
26:52No, I'm Elenida.
26:54Spot on.
26:55I didn't know you spoke Greek.
26:56I don't, really.
26:57I just talked to some great kids once.
26:59Well, ask her what's wrong.
27:01Well, this is what's wrong, obviously.
27:02Well, what about her parents?
27:04Anything.
27:05Um, hang on.
27:06Um, uh,
27:08in all East in Alaba.
27:15They're in Greece.
27:17Oh, she must have someone here.
27:19Ask her what's wrong.
27:20I'll give us a break, Lynn.
27:21We don't know about as much Greek as she does English.
27:23Lynn.
27:24Karen.
27:26Irene.
27:27Irene.
27:28Uh, you, Australia.
27:31Um, why?
27:32She must have come to get married.
27:38Wow, she's taking the wrong turn.
27:41Stavros.
27:42St-
27:43Stavros?
27:43That's a man's name.
27:44Mm.
27:46So that's Stavros.
27:54Where is Stavros?
27:55Where is Stavros?
28:06Lies.
28:07All lies.
28:08So, you're a little sustenous, isn't she?
28:11Like a flower.
28:12That's not what my uncle tells me.
28:14What did your uncle tell you about Irene?
28:16That she was selling her body in the streets to any man.
28:19And the police caught her.
28:20I forgive you for what you say.
28:22Because you are angry.
28:24I'll be angry, too, if it was true.
28:26But it's not true.
28:27My wife was there.
28:28You tell him, Tessa.
28:29The police came.
28:30She had no English, so she ran.
28:31But I think she is guilty.
28:34You speak English?
28:36Why did you not tell them?
28:37This is Irene.
28:39This is my husband's sister.
28:41You speak English?
28:42Why did you not tell them their mistake?
28:44You know why she cannot talk to the police?
28:46You know why she ran away?
28:48She ran to hide her head in shame.
28:50Because her husband's sister is a puttana.
28:57You're a fool, Alexis Zervos.
29:00But I'm not fool.
29:01When that woman comes out of jail, I will not marry her.
29:05Let her go back to Greece.
29:21Oh, a new kid in the school.
29:24Oh, Irene.
29:25Who's your mate?
29:26Irene Zervos.
29:27This is Lizzie.
29:28Hello, love.
29:29And this is Monica.
29:30Monica.
29:31That's right.
29:31What's wrong with her?
29:33There's nothing wrong with her.
29:34She's Greek.
29:36There you go, eh?
29:37There you go.
29:38Shut up.
29:39Don't talk to me about Greeks.
29:40They nearly put me out of business down the beachfront.
29:43They have the shop in the corner.
29:44Everybody worked in it.
29:45Kids, aunties, uncles, grandmother, a whole bloody lot of them.
29:47What's wrong with that?
29:48Unfair competition, that's what it was.
29:50As long as they could make it sent, they stayed open.
29:53I bet you stayed open when you felt like it.
29:55I kept proper trading hours.
29:58And what's more, I kept my place clean.
30:00Not like those bloody dagos.
30:02Be quiet, Ferguson.
30:08Lynn told me you know some Greek.
30:10I taught some Greek children once, but I didn't learn much of the language.
30:13Well, I found these in the library.
30:15Of course, you don't have to help, but it would look good on your record.
30:18You don't have to bribe me, Mrs Jackson.
30:22Bloody dagos.
30:23If they come here, they don't bother to learn the land.
30:25We'd rob your blind and shoot through.
30:26Somebody ought to show them.
30:27I won't warn you again, Ferguson.
30:30Now you take us somewhere less noisy.
30:31Come on.
30:36I want a word with you.
30:48What are you up to?
30:53I'm not doing anything.
30:54Exactly.
30:55You're not doing anything.
30:57I'm keeping my nose clean.
30:59Now what's wrong with that?
31:00You used to have a lot of influence around here.
31:02Oh, yeah?
31:03I would have thought with you back and Nolene gone, things would get back to normal.
31:07I don't run the jail, Mrs Jackson.
31:09That's your job.
31:10And there was a time you could have made it a lot easier.
31:13But it looks like Ferguson's the one in control.
31:16Oh, me all make money.
31:18Hmm.
31:19Be, uh, that Greek girl.
31:22She's a long way from home.
31:24Yeah, well, we all are one way or another, aren't we?
31:26Mm-hmm.
31:27So that's the way it is.
31:29Listen, if you want to employ a bit of muscle, why don't you, uh, ask Lady Muck?
31:34Who?
31:34Madam Clara.
31:36Yeah.
31:37That's what you should do.
31:38Get with the strength like everyone else.
31:40I see.
31:41Your nose is out of joint, isn't it?
31:44Is it?
31:46Maybe the doc can fix it.
31:47And maybe he couldn't.
31:49Why not?
31:50Fixed you up, didn't he?
31:51Don't be insolent.
31:53Now, what have I said?
31:56If I could just see the governor for a few minutes.
31:59I'm sorry.
31:59Ah, hello, Steve.
32:03Hello, Meg.
32:04You know, you're not exactly loved and wanted around here.
32:07Oh, come on, Meg.
32:08Be fair.
32:08My intentions were good.
32:09But the road to hell is paved with...
32:11It's paved with good intentions, yes, I know.
32:13How is Mrs. Davidson?
32:18Howling for blood.
32:19What, still?
32:20Marianne de Veres preferably, but yours would do.
32:22Oh, is she really that upset?
32:23I've never seen her so furious.
32:26You know, she's a very disciplined lady.
32:27This isn't like her.
32:29That is odd.
32:30I don't suppose a few soothing words from...
32:32From you?
32:32Oh, I'd stay out of her way.
32:34It's that bad, eh?
32:34That bad.
32:36Well, that's awkward.
32:37I wanted permission to see Karen.
32:39I can handle that.
32:41She's allowed one visitor per week.
32:42Oh, well, I'll leave my garden.
32:44Okay, I'll bring her out.
32:45Thanks, mate.
32:51Athelfos.
32:53Brother.
32:53Ne.
32:54Here in Melbourne.
32:57Melbourne, ne.
32:58Ah.
32:59Um, did he come to the court?
33:04Court.
33:05Heavy weather?
33:06Yeah.
33:06I'm trying to find the Greek word for court.
33:08Well, why do you want to know?
33:09Well, apparently she has a brother living in Melbourne.
33:11I was wondering if he stood by her.
33:12No one else was in court.
33:14Sergeant Melhurst said she was alone.
33:16Well, then she can't have had anyone to speak for her.
33:18It mustn't be much of a trial.
33:19Oh, we don't know that, Karen.
33:21Well, there's a visitor for you, by the way, in the garden.
33:23Oh.
33:24Um, I come back.
33:33Don't let me catch you in that cell, Ferguson.
33:35Don't worry.
33:36I'm not on visiting terms with Dago's.
33:38And watch your tongue.
33:43Hi, Monty.
33:44Waiting for somebody.
33:45Yeah.
33:46And they just arrived.
33:48Who?
33:49Oh, well, I'm not talking to myself, am I?
33:51Oh, wake up, Doreen.
33:53What do you want?
33:54Well, how would you like to do somebody a favour?
33:57Who?
33:58Our little Walgreens in there.
34:00Maybe I'm not smart enough.
34:03Oh, look, even you're smart enough for this one.
34:05Now, what I was thinking...
34:07Okay.
34:14I'll be in it.
34:15Yeah, me too.
34:16Oh, go on.
34:16Get on with it.
34:17Here.
34:18I wasn't expecting to see you.
34:28Who did you expect?
34:29I don't know, really.
34:30Just not you.
34:32And I've been looking for you at the uni.
34:34Have you been avoiding me?
34:35I haven't been to uni.
34:36The governor's cancelled all privileges.
34:39I see.
34:41I'm sorry to hear that.
34:43But the whole thing would have blown over by now
34:45if it hadn't been for your Mrs. DeVere
34:47insisting on full media coverage.
34:49That's what really upset Mrs. Davidson.
34:51Bringing in the press was the governor's idea.
34:55Oh.
34:56And she is not my Mrs. DeVere.
34:59Marianne has removed all the business from the firm.
35:01You should hear my senior partner, Charles Baldwin, on the subject.
35:03He's talking about breaking up the partnership.
35:05Wouldn't you be better off without him?
35:07Building up a law practice takes an awful lot of time, Karen,
35:11and Charles has all the contacts.
35:13But you've got the brains.
35:14If you'd left, you'd take half his clients with you.
35:17Yes.
35:17Well, if I wanted to start a full-scale war
35:19with a very influential man.
35:22But you'd soon find your own clients.
35:25In fact, I know someone who could use your help right now.
35:27Karen, please, no more legal aid cases.
35:30Oh, Steve, this Greek girl's just come into the prison.
35:32But her solicitor isn't even trying.
35:34He didn't even get her brother to come to the court.
35:37Well, I can't interfere, I'm happy to say.
35:40Not with another solicitor's case.
35:41Oh, Steve, I'm not asking you to do that.
35:43No, you're asking me for something.
35:44Could you go and see her brother and his wife?
35:47Ask them why they haven't been to see her.
35:49Steve, she's so isolated, she can't even speak English.
35:52Isn't this more in Jean Vernon's line of work?
35:54But I think you'd get results where she couldn't.
35:56And Greek men won't listen to women.
35:59I'm very sensible of it.
36:00Oh, Steve, will you do it?
36:02This really is important to you?
36:03Yes, it is.
36:06My every instinct tells me not to get involved.
36:08The same instincts that tell me to run like hell when I first saw your pretty face.
36:15Okay.
36:16But there is a price.
36:18You will have that lunch with me.
36:20You know I can't do that.
36:22Of course you can.
36:22When you go back to uni, I'll arrive one day with a basket full of chicken and champagne,
36:26and we'll go and sit under a tree somewhere.
36:28Just you and I.
36:30Yeah, several thousand other students.
36:32Sorry.
36:33Time's up.
36:36It'll be the ruination of me again, I'll try this.
36:38What are you two doing in here?
36:57Oh, we're just a welcome wagon.
36:58Irene, what is going on?
37:03Miss Jackson?
37:04Yes?
37:09Bugger off.
37:13I see.
37:15They've been teaching you English, have they?
37:17Is wrong?
37:18Is very wrong.
37:19I think we'll leave the lessons to Karen in the future.
37:22And as for those high spirits, we'll divert them towards scrubbing the corridors.
37:26Oh, have a heart, Lizzy.
37:29You too, Doreen.
37:32I've been speaking to a solicitor.
37:35Solis?
37:35A man of the law.
37:38A dicigoro.
37:41A dicigoro?
37:42He will go to your brother.
37:44No!
37:45You may know.
37:46I don't want to.
37:47No, no.
37:48But he'll help you.
37:51No, no, no.
37:52Please, I don't.
