00:00Ronald then made a full statement in which he admitted intending to shoot Dr. Miller.
00:06Apparently, he was convinced somehow that you were responsible for his mother's imprisonment
00:10and for the shootout in which his mate was killed.
00:21What will happen now?
00:22He'll be charged on both counts of murder.
00:25He'll probably plead insanity.
00:27And get off, you mean?
00:29Oh, no, he's not a well lad, Mrs. McCauley.
00:31I doubt if he'll ever be released.
00:34Greg, Mrs. McCauley, could I have a word with you, please?
00:38I need your permission to operate again.
00:40But you said Karen's too weak.
00:41She is.
00:43And I wouldn't want to operate under any other circumstances.
00:46But the fragments are moving closer to the heart.
00:49If we don't operate, she will most certainly die.
00:58One, two, three, four, four.
01:01All right.
01:11All right.
01:11One, two, three.
01:14One, three.
01:16Janet, are you awake?
01:34Janet?
01:36Hello again.
01:39I didn't wake you, did I?
01:42No.
01:43I was just thinking.
01:46So was I.
01:48What about?
01:50Just things, generally.
01:52What about you?
01:54Same here.
02:02I might as well be honest.
02:04I was thinking about you.
02:07You're the most interesting person I've met since I've been in here.
02:12What do you think's going to happen?
02:14I mean, that man who died in the States.
02:16Will they take you back there for trial?
02:18I doubt it.
02:21Why?
02:22Well, I have to be extradited from Australia first.
02:25And our cause has support us here.
02:28And enough finance to get me the best lawyer available.
02:31Oh, come off it, Janet.
02:33How do you mean?
02:35Well, the courts aren't going to support you.
02:36You've killed someone in America.
02:39Someone important.
02:39Janet, I want to escape.
02:45Why can't we help each other?
02:48I mean, when we get out, we can go overseas.
02:51I've never been overseas.
02:53Thanks, but I've told you.
02:55My people will look after me.
02:57Good night.
02:57Oh, thanks for the lift.
03:09Pleasure.
03:09Coming in for a minute?
03:10Well, just for a minute.
03:11I won't stay.
03:12Not even for a coffee?
03:13Well, I shouldn't.
03:14But I know you're tired, and I wouldn't want to wear out my welcome.
03:20Leela's a wonderful cook, isn't she?
03:22Hmm.
03:22I'm sure you won't sit down.
03:24Well, just for a moment.
03:25Well, that's a definite no to coffee, then.
03:27Well, I think it should be.
03:30Leela.
03:31I've always had a soft spot for the old girl.
03:33Well, can I be rude and say it didn't seem mutual?
03:36We're old sparring partners.
03:37It keeps us both on our toes.
03:39Well, I was rather surprised to get an invitation.
03:42Well, actually, I asked Jim to invite you.
03:46I hope you don't mind.
03:48Not at all.
03:49Thanks for the thought.
03:50Good.
03:51I'd really like to do it again sometime.
03:54Maybe dinner and a show or something like that?
03:56Well, I'm pretty busy at the moment.
03:58Every night?
03:59Look, if you'd prefer not to go, just say so.
04:01I understand.
04:03Well, perhaps I could change some plans for Saturday,
04:06but I'd have to check and phone you.
04:07Oh, that'd be great.
04:09Okay, then, Geoff.
04:10Well, I'll be in touch.
04:12Good.
04:14Thanks for this evening.
04:15Pleasure.
04:16Goodbye.
04:17Night-night.
04:28Oh, is this disturbing you, Bea?
04:29No, no worries, love.
04:31Listen, give us a hoi if the news comes on.
04:33There might be something about Karen.
04:35Oh, I could tell you in the morning.
04:37Look, love, I know if it's on the news,
04:40it's most likely going to be bad,
04:41but they might just happen to say she's all right.
04:45And I'd rather know.
04:47Just like you with David.
04:48And here is the latest news.
04:51There's still no word on the future of suspected terrorist Jeanette Dominguez,
04:55arrested early this morning at Tullamarine Airport.
04:57Dominguez is alleged to have planted a bomb at the United Nations building in New York,
05:01killing a senior South American diplomat.
05:04She's being held under tight security at Wentworth Detention Center,
05:07pending her decision on extradition.
05:08There's a new woman in the town.
05:10Police are expected to fly in from New York over the next two or three days
05:13to commence extradition proceedings.
05:16The hunt is over for prison escapee David O'Connell,
05:19alleged to have killed a policeman in a gun battle last week.
05:22Police recaptured O'Connell tonight after receiving a tip-off.
05:25Ah, somebody shopped him.
05:27I was probably for the best.
05:28Police have charged O'Connell with the attempted murder of Mrs. Karen Travers,
05:32who tonight is still in a critical condition in hospital.
05:34Travis was gunned down in the surgery of her fiancée, Dr. Greg Miller.
05:39Oh, no. No!
05:43Quiet down the road.
05:44It's over.
05:59Who is it?
06:00It's Greg.
06:01I'm sorry it's so late.
06:05I saw your light on.
06:06Oh, come in, come in.
06:09I didn't mean to disturb you.
06:13It's all right.
06:13Sit down.
06:14I'll get you a drink.
06:15Well, just one, eh?
06:19They had to operate again.
06:21How is she?
06:22She's out of the theatre,
06:24just hanging on.
06:27I had to get out and drive around a bit.
06:29Yeah.
06:30Oh, thanks.
06:35I'm sorry to barge him.
06:37It's okay.
06:37Don't worry.
06:38I couldn't think of anyone else to talk to.
06:40Look, she's going to be all right.
06:44It's too early to tell.
06:46It's her second major up in 24 hours.
06:48Look, she'll pull through,
06:49but you've got to start thinking about yourself.
06:52You're just pushing it too hard.
06:53You'll collapse.
06:54No, I'll be okay.
06:56Look, why don't you stay here and get a few hours sleep?
06:58You can ring the hospital.
06:59Leave them my number.
07:00No, I'm okay.
07:01I just needed a friendly face, that's all.
07:04Look, I...
07:05I want to check back at the hospital.
07:09There's a motel opposite.
07:10I'll go in there, I promise.
07:11Fine.
07:12But if there's anything I can do...
07:13Yes, thanks.
07:16Thanks.
07:17Take care.
07:18Janet Dominguez is becoming a problem.
07:39The department were on the phone to me
07:40the minute I arrived this morning.
07:42Apparently the group she's with
07:43has issued a statement.
07:45They're threatening reprisals
07:46because of her imprisonment.
07:47What sort of reprisals?
07:48Well, nobody knows,
07:49but the department still wants maximum security.
07:52She's to remain in solitary
07:53for as long as she's here.
07:54Well, I think that's reasonable
07:55under the circumstances.
07:56I agree, but it might make her
07:58more difficult to handle.
07:59We'll manage.
08:00Yes.
08:03Oh, Officer Phillip is supervising
08:04breakfast for Dominguez.
08:06How does she see it?
08:06Quite relaxed.
08:07She ate everything,
08:08even thanked us when we took the plates.
08:10Well, maybe she's waiting
08:10for something to happen.
08:11I wouldn't be surprised.
08:12We'll just have to keep our eyes open.
08:13Yes?
08:16I'm sorry.
08:17Oh, it's all right, Dr Miller.
08:19How's Karen?
08:19I heard they had to operate.
08:20Yes, she's hanging on.
08:22You look very tired.
08:23I'm fine.
08:24I got into a motel room,
08:26had a few hours sleep there.
08:27Well, I expect you'll need
08:28a few days off.
08:29We can manage,
08:29but if anything happens,
08:31I can get in a GP.
08:32Mrs Davidson, I'd rather work.
08:34I need something to take my mind
08:35off what's happened.
08:36Well, of course.
08:36In fact, I'd like to start
08:37right away, if that's okay.
08:38Well, I've cancelled the sick call.
08:40It was only the usual
08:41hypochondriacs anyway.
08:41There must be something.
08:43I really need to work.
08:44I'll go back to my own surgery,
08:45but the window and the telephone,
08:47they've not been fixed.
08:48Mrs Davidson, there's Dominguez.
08:50New admissions, the medical.
08:52Oh, yes, thank you, Mr Fletcher.
08:53Janet Dominguez.
08:54Oh, yes, I heard on the radio.
08:56Well, she's in solitary.
08:58You'll have to examine her there.
08:59Oh, that's fine.
09:00Mr Fletcher and Officer Philip
09:01will go with you.
09:19Who are you?
09:20I'm the prison doctor.
09:21I have to give you
09:21a routine examination.
09:22Why did this happen
09:23when I was admitted?
09:24Oh, because I wasn't here.
09:26Sit down, please.
09:26I'm afraid I don't have
09:33much faith in prison doctors.
09:35One examined my husband
09:36regularly while he was
09:37being tortured,
09:38then wrote natural causes
09:39on the death certificate.
09:40So we do things
09:41differently here?
09:42Really?
09:42I haven't noticed.
09:43That's enough.
09:43It's all right.
09:44Oh, I know you, doctor.
09:45The obligatory Mr Kindness.
09:48You're part of the window dressing.
09:50When did you last
09:50try to change anything here,
09:52except perhaps your salary?
09:53What do you really do
09:54for the masses,
09:55the ones who pay for it?
09:57You're so concerned
09:58about the masses.
09:59When did you last think
10:00about the innocent people
10:01that get killed
10:02in the crossfire?
10:03All the time, doctor.
10:04But when force is used
10:05against you,
10:06you have to use force
10:07in reply.
10:08And to hell with
10:08who gets hurt.
10:10I think I'll continue
10:12this examination later.
10:13She seems perfectly healthy,
10:15physically anyway.
10:16Sorry if I made you
10:17think a little, doctor.
10:22Ready?
10:23I thought I'd move
10:49some of this stuff in now.
10:50Save time later.
10:51Don't waste any time,
10:52do you?
10:52Hey, come on, Leela.
10:54It's me, Jeff.
10:55You don't have to remind me.
10:56Well, Jim invited me.
10:57What could I say?
10:58You could have said no.
10:59I would have.
11:00I'd known you
11:00were going to get
11:00so sore about it.
11:01As long as you realise
11:02you're his guest
11:03and not mine.
11:04Come on,
11:04I'm only here
11:05for a short time.
11:06What have you got
11:06against me anyway?
11:07Times change, Jeff,
11:08and so do people.
11:10Jim's army days
11:10have gone forever,
11:11and the sooner
11:12he realises that,
11:12the better for everyone.
11:13Well, don't point out
11:14Jim's problems
11:15to me, honey.
11:15And don't call me honey.
11:17That's the old Leela
11:18I always knew.
11:20Bites like a tiger snake.
11:22What did you say
11:22you did for a living
11:23these days?
11:24I'm an insurance executive.
11:25So why aren't you
11:26out working
11:26at ten o'clock
11:27in the morning?
11:27I'm a senior
11:28insurance executive.
11:29I work a lot of evenings
11:30and take time off
11:31during the day.
11:32Well, I hope you like
11:33going to movies.
11:34Oh, I do.
11:35Is there anything
11:35you'd like to see?
11:36No, but it'll keep you
11:37out of my hair
11:38until Jim gets home.
11:39So, there was this
11:47poor old man
11:47dying in the street.
11:49I couldn't just run away
11:50and leave him.
11:52So, I asked somebody
11:53to call an ambulance.
11:55You know what she did?
11:56She recognised me
11:57and called the cops.
11:58I mean, it didn't matter
11:59that the old man
12:00was dying.
12:01Right.
12:02Bourgeois morality.
12:03Protect their own
12:04interests first.
12:05And he did die.
12:07So I might as well
12:08have left him there
12:08in the first place.
12:10At your age,
12:11I'd have done
12:11exactly what you did.
12:13Now I know better.
12:17Dr. Miller must be furious
12:19the way you put him down.
12:20Those people,
12:21they're the dupes
12:22of the system
12:23and they don't even know it.
12:28Before,
12:30when you offered
12:30to help me,
12:32were you serious?
12:34Well, of course I was.
12:35How serious?
12:37What do you want me to do?
12:38We're an army
12:39involved in a war.
12:42It's a matter
12:42of following orders.
12:45It's not quite
12:45as simple as that.
12:47When you go,
12:49I want to go with you.
12:51I think that's reasonable.
12:53You seem our kind of person.
12:55And I need to know
12:55what's going on.
12:56Our organisation
12:57doesn't work that way.
12:59Everyone knows
12:59only what's necessary.
13:01So if anybody's captured
13:02by the other side,
13:03they can only tell
13:03what they know.
13:04Do you see that?
13:05Yeah, I suppose so.
13:08An organisation like ours
13:09works on loyalty
13:10to the cause
13:11and to each other.
13:14I give you my word,
13:15I'll look after you.
13:16That's all I can offer.
13:19What do I have to do?
13:21Tell me the name
13:22of one of your friends
13:22at school.
13:23Anyone at all.
13:24Why?
13:28Sandra Thompson.
13:29Don't be surprised
13:30if you receive a visit soon.
13:32What, from Sandra?
13:34Have you ever been
13:35interested in politics before?
13:38No, not really.
13:40I'll have to educate you.
13:44What's going on?
13:46Just talking.
13:47What about?
13:48We're just passing the time.
13:51All right, come on.
13:51Exercise.
13:52Exercise.
13:59Time for your exercise.
14:02Come on.
14:05That way.
14:17Four officers standing around
14:19because a murderess
14:19wants to take a walk
14:20would have always up to me.
14:21I'd...
14:22Oh, here they come now.
14:26Stay here and keep your eyes open.
14:28Screws everywhere.
14:35You've really got them scared.
14:36They're always scared.
14:38They know the people
14:38won't put up with it
14:39much longer.
14:43Thick as thieves, aren't they?
14:44Mm-hmm.
14:45I'm not sure we should let
14:46Colton mix with that one.
14:48What's going on over there?
14:49Oh, it looks like a visitor.
14:50Find out who he is
14:51and what he wants.
14:52I'm not taking any chances
14:53with her out here.
14:55In my country,
14:55the army took over.
14:56It was violent.
14:59And violence is the only answer
15:00the working class has.
15:02I'll hardly call you
15:03working class.
15:05You see, you're thinking
15:05just like them.
15:07The working class are permitted
15:08to have an education too,
15:09you know.
15:12His name's John Pendleton.
15:13He wants to see Dominguez.
15:14He's her lawyer.
15:16Did you check his ID?
15:17Yes, as a matter of fact,
15:19I did.
15:20Take him to the interview room.
15:22I'll escort her inside.
15:24How long?
15:25Before something happens.
15:26It could be very soon.
15:29So be ready.
15:30Yes?
15:45Yes?
15:47B. Smith wants to see you
15:49about Karen Travers?
15:50Sure.
15:51Smith?
15:53Is there any news,
15:54Mrs. Davidson?
15:55According to Dr. Miller,
15:56it's still touch and go.
15:58Oh.
15:59Well, we'd taken up
16:00a conviction
16:00for an engagement present.
16:02Well,
16:03now we'd like to spend
16:04on some flowers.
16:05It's very commendable
16:06of you, Smith.
16:06We're keeping a bit of it,
16:07though, just in case,
16:08just in case
16:10we have to buy a wreath.
16:12Of course.
16:14Well,
16:15if you leave the money
16:16with me,
16:16I'll see that reception
16:17arranges the flowers.
16:19It's $8.90.
16:21Oh, look,
16:21there's one other thing.
16:23Well,
16:23some of the girls
16:24are due for release soon
16:25and we're carrying up
16:27being there
16:28while we're wondering
16:28if the halfway house
16:29is going to close.
16:30Angela Jeffries
16:31contacted me about that.
16:32The halfway house
16:33will remain open.
16:34Miss Jeffries herself
16:35will keep an eye on things.
16:36Oh,
16:37it's nice to hear
16:37something's going on
16:38right for a change.
16:39It is indeed.
16:45Can we beat
16:46the extradition in court?
16:48I doubt it.
16:49The Americans
16:50are sending two top men.
16:51They're out to get you.
16:52How long will it take?
16:53The smart money
16:55is saying
16:55you'll be back
16:56in New York
16:56in a week.
16:57So we forget the courts.
16:58What else?
17:00Well,
17:00we could launch
17:01an appeal
17:02through the British consulate
17:03trying to stir up
17:03some thunderstorms.
17:04The British government
17:05fight the Americans
17:05over me.
17:06Forget it.
17:07There isn't too much
17:07else we can do.
17:08There's a hell of a lot
17:09you can do.
17:10It's time you people
17:11did a bit more
17:11than hand out pamphlets
17:13and write on walls.
17:15There's a girl in here
17:16who's prepared
17:16to help me escape.
17:18Her name's
17:18Rosalind Coulson.
17:19You can't use
17:20an outsider
17:21in that kind of operation.
17:22It's too dangerous.
17:22We don't have any choice.
17:24They're keeping me
17:25in solitary.
17:26Someone else
17:27has to organize this.
17:27Look, I still don't think
17:28that you...
17:28Our girl's called
17:39Rosalind Coulson.
17:41Got that?
17:43She has a school friend
17:44called Sandra Thompson
17:45now aged about 17.
17:47You'll need a girl
17:48that age
17:48using that name
17:49as the go-between.
17:50Oh, and one other thing.
17:52If Coulson helps,
17:53we're going to take her
17:54with us.
17:55Why?
17:55Because I promised her.
17:58I think she'll be
17:58an asset.
18:01I'll report to the others,
18:02see what they think.
18:03I'm sure they'll agree
18:04with me.
18:05Or else my friends
18:06overseas
18:07will be asking questions.
18:12I'll call the officer.
18:15And John,
18:16thanks for everything.
18:18Hello, Meg.
18:26Hello, Angela.
18:28Who are you here to see?
18:29Pat O'Connell
18:29about her appeal.
18:31I'll just clear it
18:31with the governor.
18:39Mrs Davidson?
18:40Angela Jeffery's here
18:41to see Pat O'Connell
18:42about her appeal.
18:44Right.
18:45Yes, it's fine.
18:48That was a terrible shock,
18:49Pat's son shooting Karen.
18:51Yes, it was.
18:52You don't seem terribly upset.
18:55Meg, I'm dealing with
18:56people's misfortunes
18:57every day.
18:58Emotion is a luxury
18:59I can't allow myself.
19:00I can't afford it.
19:03I'll show you
19:04to the interview room.
19:05For God's sake, Pat,
19:06you're not accountable
19:07for David's actions.
19:09Pat, look at me.
19:10Well, he's my son.
19:12Stop feeling sorry
19:13for yourself.
19:14Don't you care
19:15about your other children?
19:16It's them we've got
19:17to worry about now
19:18and it's for them
19:20that I have got
19:21to get you out of jail.
19:24Now,
19:25you say that all the time
19:28David was on the run
19:28you never saw him.
19:30This friend of his
19:30just turned up
19:31with the Christmas presents.
19:33I just found them
19:34on the back doorstep.
19:35Well, who'd be aware
19:36of that?
19:37Just my mother.
19:38She was the only one there.
19:40Good.
19:41I'll talk to her.
19:42I'll be in touch.
19:44Angela,
19:45can you tell me
19:46who's defending David?
19:48I am.
19:49What are his chances?
19:52Honestly.
19:54Two psychologists
19:55are examining him.
19:57One for the Crown,
19:58one for us.
19:59When our man reports,
20:01then I'll decide
20:02how we're going to plead.
20:03In the meantime, Pat,
20:05you've got to forget
20:05about David.
20:06You've got to concentrate
20:07on your other children
20:08and yourself.
20:13Well, there we are.
20:14Finished dinner
20:15and didn't mention
20:15the army once.
20:17Remember that old CO
20:18we used to have,
20:19old Hanley?
20:20Couldn't talk about
20:20anything else.
20:21How's work at the prison?
20:23Did you know that
20:23Karen Travers
20:24who was shot?
20:25Yep.
20:26How's Greg Miller
20:26taking it?
20:28Well, not too well
20:29according to Meg Jackson.
20:31Apparently he called her
20:32last night.
20:32Very upset.
20:34They must be good friends,
20:35an old romantic attachment.
20:37Could still be current,
20:38I'd say.
20:38Well, I don't know
20:39about that.
20:40She's going out
20:40with me on Saturday night.
20:42I'll get it.
20:43I'm expecting a call.
20:47Do you think it's a good idea
20:48letting Meg get involved
20:49with Jeff?
20:50Come on, Lila.
20:51She's a grown woman.
20:52Why don't you just
20:53mind your own business?
20:56Well, I've got to go out.
20:58You'll be sorry to hear
20:59business.
21:00I'll see you later.
21:01You're right, I mean.
21:04I'd better fix that mud
21:05goat on Nicky's bike.
21:07Hello, Meg Jackson.
21:30Oh, it's Lila Fletcher
21:32here, Meg, Jim's wife.
21:34Hello, Lila.
21:35How are you?
21:37Look, just a word of warning
21:38in confidence between you
21:39and I.
21:40I believe you're going out
21:41with Jeff Butler next week.
21:43I'd be very careful
21:44about getting involved
21:45with him.
21:47What do you mean?
21:50He's just a little strange,
21:51that's all.
21:53Look, please don't tell
21:54Jim I phoned.
21:55He hates me interfering.
21:56Jones to pathology, please.
22:15Dr. Ian Jones to pathology.
22:20Here we are.
22:21Oh, you should have said
22:22I've got those.
22:23You look tired enough
22:24as it is.
22:25Oh, thanks.
22:31Well, she's held on
22:32for 24 hours.
22:34She's going to be all right.
22:36I don't know.
22:37There's a dozen things
22:38who go wrong yet.
22:39Oh, you're a born pessimist.
22:41Just careful, Mary.
22:42Just careful.
22:46Greg, if something's wrong,
22:47I'd rather know.
22:50Dr. Darling.
22:50No, it's nothing.
22:52Greg.
22:54Well, it's just that
22:55she should have regained
22:56consciousness by now.
22:57Any specific calls for alarm?
22:59No, none that I know of.
23:02Well, Karen's always been a fighter.
23:05She's been at death's door
23:06twice and come back.
23:07And she's going to be
23:09all right now.
23:13Have you two thought
23:14where you're going to live
23:15after you get married?
23:16It's a bit early for that yet.
23:17Oh, nonsense.
23:20But why don't you move
23:21to Queensland?
23:22I mean, you could buy
23:23a practice up there
23:24and start a new life,
23:25get away from all this.
23:27You know, that may not
23:28be such a bad idea.
23:30Karen's going to need
23:30plenty of rest.
23:32Somewhere on the
23:33Darling Downs
23:33would be best.
23:35Oh, that's
23:35beautiful country.
23:36Well, I think we'd better
23:37discuss it with Karen first.
23:39I think she'd like
23:40the idea.
23:42Anything you want,
23:43that'd be fine with her.
23:45Dr. McIntyre,
23:46reception base,
23:47Dr. McIntyre.
23:48Yes.
23:50Yes, as a matter of fact,
23:51I do.
23:52Well, that's settled.
23:53Now, my Charles
23:54is a state manager
23:55and he can be a lot
23:56of help to you
23:57up there relocating yourselves.
23:58I always knew that
24:00husband of mine
24:01would come in handy
24:01one day.
24:09Who is this?
24:11I was just passing.
24:16Everything okay?
24:17Sure.
24:18Come in.
24:19Thanks.
24:20I'm not disturbing you.
24:21No.
24:22You sit down.
24:23Thanks a lot.
24:25I was in the neighbourhood,
24:26just clinched a big
24:28business deal,
24:28feeling pretty pleased
24:29with myself as a matter
24:30of fact,
24:30so I thought maybe
24:31we should go out
24:32and celebrate.
24:33Oh, not tonight,
24:34thanks, Jeff.
24:35Well, it's not every day
24:36I clinch a deal
24:37like this.
24:38Tell me about it.
24:40Well, it's
24:41pretty technical,
24:43really.
24:44Let's just say
24:45it's worth celebrating.
24:46Well, actually,
24:46I was waiting for a
24:47phone call from the
24:47hospital about Karen,
24:49so I'd rather not go out.
24:51Oh, I see.
24:53But if you're celebrating,
24:54why not have a drink here?
24:55I mean, I can't have
24:56a late night because
24:57I've got a very heavy
24:57day tomorrow.
24:58Well, if you're sure
24:59you've got time.
25:00Sure.
25:00Scotch?
25:01Thanks, no water.
25:04How's Leela?
25:05Oh, fine.
25:07Still sparring.
25:09Why doesn't she like you?
25:11Well, actually,
25:12it's not me she doesn't
25:13like.
25:14It's the army.
25:15The demands it
25:16makes on a man.
25:17The man, of course,
25:18being Jim.
25:19Thanks.
25:21Well, here's to our
25:23first million.
25:24Each.
25:25On a prison officer's
25:26wages?
25:27Why not?
25:29Well, you know what
25:31daughters are like
25:31about their mothers.
25:32You've got it all
25:33worked out, haven't you?
25:34Believe me, she's
25:35going to want me around
25:36once you start your
25:37family.
25:37Dr. McIntyre to
25:39reception, please.
25:40Dr. McIntyre.
25:40How are you, Greg?
25:41I was just passing,
25:42thought I'd pop in
25:43to see her parents.
25:44Hello, Angela.
25:45This is Mrs.
25:46McCauley, Karen's
25:47mother.
25:47Mrs. McCauley,
25:48Angela Jeffries.
25:49Oh, yes, Karen
25:50mentioned you in her
25:51letters.
25:51You started the
25:51halfway house,
25:52didn't you?
25:52I'm pleased to meet
25:53you, Mrs.
25:53McCauley.
25:55What's the news?
25:57Well, it's still not
25:57good.
25:58She hasn't regained
25:58consciousness.
25:59She'll be all right.
26:02It was good of you
26:03to drop by.
26:04Actually, I wanted to
26:05ask you something.
26:07Pat O'Connell, I'm
26:08appearing for her at
26:09her appeal.
26:11You could help a
26:12great deal by
26:12appearing as a
26:13witness.
26:15Angela, do you
26:16have any idea
26:17where you are?
26:18Karen is in a
26:19room down there
26:20fighting for her
26:20life because of
26:21Pat O'Connell.
26:22Calm down, Greg.
26:23This won't do any
26:24good.
26:25Greg, what's done
26:25is done.
26:27What happened to
26:27Karen is no fault
26:28of Pat's, and she
26:30desperately needs
26:30your help.
26:31No, Angela.
26:32If you want me, you
26:33can serve me with a
26:34subpoena.
26:34For the sort of
26:35evidence we need, that
26:36would be useless.
26:36Yes, it would be.
26:40If you change your
26:41mind, you know where
26:42to find me.
26:43I'm sorry, Mrs.
26:44McCauley.
26:45Nurse Watson.
26:46Nurse Watson required
26:47you to get to
26:47God, her sense of
26:48timing.
26:49She must practice
26:50for hours.
26:51It's all over now.
26:54How is she?
26:55She's just recovered
26:55consciousness, Doctor.
26:57Can we see her?
26:58Just for a few
26:59moments.
26:59She's very weak.
27:00Mary?
27:00Yes.
27:01Everything's going to
27:17be all right.
27:18It's true.
27:19Doctor's orders.
27:21Just concentrate on
27:23getting better as soon
27:24as possible.
27:24It's fine.
27:38Doctor Miller.
27:40Oh, yes, nurse.
27:41Right away.
27:50You get some sleep.
27:52It's all going to be
27:53faint.
28:04So there I was,
28:06crouched in a ditch,
28:07soaked to the skin,
28:08not three paces from
28:09an RSM who's
28:10threatening to flame
28:11my hide and nail it
28:13to the wall.
28:13What did you do
28:14then?
28:14Well, I knew that
28:17he couldn't actually
28:17prove it was me he'd
28:18seen.
28:19You see, it was
28:19pretty dark.
28:20So I knew my one
28:24chance was to beat
28:25him back to base
28:26and then deny I'd
28:27ever been AWOL.
28:29The only problem
28:29was he had a Jeep
28:31and I was on foot.
28:32Which gave him a
28:33pretty big advantage.
28:34Right.
28:35So what I did was
28:36I snuck around
28:37behind the Jeep
28:38and let down one
28:39of his tyres
28:40with a pen.
28:41So I bolted
28:42back to the camp
28:43while he changed
28:43the tyre in the
28:44dark and I beat
28:45him home by five
28:45minutes.
28:46Another drink?
28:49Why not?
28:51Oh, would you
28:52mind getting it?
28:52Loved it.
28:55Hello?
28:55Hi, it's me.
28:56Oh, Greg, how's
28:57Karen?
28:58She's going to be
28:58OK.
28:59Oh, Greg, that's
29:00wonderful.
29:01I feel as if the
29:01weight of the world
29:02is off my shoulders.
29:03Now what you've
29:04got to do is go
29:04home and sleep
29:05for two days.
29:06That's exactly
29:07how I feel.
29:08Meg, I just
29:09want to say thank
29:10you again.
29:10Friend in need
29:11and all that.
29:12My pleasure.
29:13And I'm sure
29:13Karen will be
29:14back on her feet
29:14in no time.
29:15She will be.
29:16See you at work
29:16tomorrow.
29:17Bye-bye.
29:20Good news?
29:20Yes.
29:21Karen's going
29:22to be all
29:22right.
29:24Have you
29:25known Greg
29:27long?
29:27Sure.
29:28But we're just
29:29good friends.
29:30Oh, it's none
29:31of my business.
29:33Well, where
29:34were we?
29:35Oh, I remember.
29:36You just avoided
29:37having your backside
29:38nailed to the wall.
29:40Yeah, look at
29:41that, eh?
29:41Half past ten.
29:43I know you've
29:44got a big day
29:44tomorrow and so
29:45have I.
29:46So I've really
29:47enjoyed it, Meg.
29:48It's been a lot
29:49of fun.
29:49Oh, that's okay.
29:51I'll see you on
29:52Saturday then, eh?
29:52Fine.
29:54Thanks again.
29:55Night.
29:55Bye.
29:56Bye.
29:56Well, Colson, have
30:07you learned your
30:17lesson?
30:18Or isn't four
30:18days long enough?
30:19Yes, Miss Bennet.
30:24Well, you've come
30:25down a peg or two.
30:26Now, come on, back
30:26to the laundry.
30:27Miss Bennet, what
30:28about Bea Smith?
30:29What about her?
30:31I told the
30:32Governor on it.
30:33It so happens we're
30:34aware of your little
30:34feud with Smith.
30:36We'll be keeping an
30:36eye on things.
30:38And the Governor has
30:39decided to give you a
30:40new cellmate.
30:41Who?
30:42Come on.
30:42Please.
30:44Kathleen Leach, seeing
30:46you ask so nicely.
30:48But you should be very
30:48grateful, Colson, that
30:49we didn't leave you to
30:50spend tonight with
30:51Smith before the
30:52changeover.
30:53Come on.
30:58Can I say goodbye to
30:59Janet through the door?
31:00You certainly can't.
31:01Now, come on.
31:01Bye, Janet.
31:03I'm warning you.
31:05Just be careful or
31:05you'll end up back in
31:06the pound.
31:12Oh, look, come on,
31:19love, back up.
31:20It's the waiting, Bea.
31:22You've got to learn to
31:22put all that behind
31:23you.
31:24You've got to think
31:24about your own trial
31:25and your other kids.
31:27That's what everyone
31:28keeps telling me.
31:29Well, maybe because
31:29it's right.
31:31Look, don't you love
31:31your other kids?
31:33Of course I do.
31:35But how do you expect
31:36me to stop loving
31:37David?
31:38No, I'll do that for
31:39you.
31:40Oh, it's all
31:40okay, if I'm okay.
31:43What are you lot
31:43standing around for?
31:45Get back to work.
31:45Oh, sorry, Vera,
31:46but no one told us
31:47she was coming.
31:48Hello, Ros.
31:49How are you?
31:50Leach, you and
31:52Colson will be sharing
31:52a cell together.
31:54Colson, you help
31:55Leach fold those
31:56sheets.
31:58Good to see you,
31:59Ros.
32:00Any trouble from you,
32:01Smith, and you're in
32:02for it?
32:02I don't know what
32:03you're talking about,
32:03Miss Bennet.
32:04Hey, that terrorist
32:05woman was in solitary.
32:06Did you get to talk
32:07to her?
32:08I got to know her
32:09quite well.
32:10Did she really murder
32:11that bloke in America?
32:12Of course she did.
32:13Except that it
32:14wasn't murder.
32:15It was an act of war.
32:16An act of war?
32:18Well, it was.
32:19Oh, come off it,
32:20love.
32:20Listen, when I killed
32:21me old man, that was
32:22an act of war, too.
32:24But it was also murder,
32:25and I didn't make any
32:27fancy excuses.
32:28She basically wants
32:29the same things we do.
32:30A better deal for the
32:31working people, which is
32:32fighting the capitalist
32:33system.
32:33Oh, you wouldn't
32:35understand.
32:36Right, I want two people
32:37for cleaning duty.
32:38You, Kath, and you,
32:39Pauline.
32:40Can I work with Kath,
32:41Mrs Jackson?
32:42You're volunteering to
32:43scrub floors.
32:44Well, I'd rather not
32:46work in the laundry.
32:48Well, I'm sure Pauline
32:49won't mind.
32:50Well, move along.
32:50That kid just loves
32:57trouble.
33:00Hello, darling.
33:01Hello.
33:02Brought you some flowers.
33:05How are you?
33:06Well, I think I'm
33:07improving.
33:07I'm starting to feel
33:08uncomfortable.
33:09That's a good sign.
33:11You've got a long way
33:11to go yet.
33:12Look, I'm flying back
33:13to Queensland this
33:14afternoon, but I'm
33:16going to speak to
33:16Charles, and I want
33:18you and Greg to join
33:19us as soon as you're
33:19out of hospital.
33:20Oh, that'd be nice.
33:24Well, I'll go and
33:25find Sister and get
33:26her to put these
33:27in water.
33:27Thanks, ma'am.
33:33Do you know how
33:33good it is to see
33:34you looking so much
33:35better?
33:36I've been waiting to
33:37see you all morning.
33:38No more problems
33:39now, I promise.
33:40We're going to lead
33:41quiet, reputable
33:42lives.
33:44Greg, can I ask
33:47you something?
33:47I'm going to be
33:50scarred, aren't I?
33:52All down my side
33:52and on my face.
33:54Karen, my darling,
33:55that's the least of
33:55our worries.
33:57I'm just grateful to
33:57have you.
34:00Besides, that can be
34:01taken care of with
34:02skin grafts.
34:03Really?
34:03Yes.
34:04I hope you don't
34:05think I'm being vain
34:06or stupid.
34:07I guess under the
34:09circumstances, I'm just
34:10lucky to be alive.
34:11It's a perfectly
34:11normal reaction.
34:13Thanks.
34:15Greg, I love you.
34:20I love you, too.
34:25Hey, got some news
34:26for you.
34:27Put the practice on
34:28the market this
34:28morning.
34:29Already?
34:30Don't get excited.
34:32It's not the most
34:32salubrious practice and
34:33we may have to wait
34:34a while.
34:35But I'll give Erica
34:36my notice and by the
34:38time you're out of
34:38here, we'll be able to
34:39go to Queensland
34:40together.
34:40Well, I better tell
34:43Angela pretty soon.
34:44Well, you'll have no
34:44problem there.
34:45The halfway house, I'm
34:46amazed to say, is
34:48carrying on quite
34:48happily without you.
34:52She's a really
34:53terrific person.
34:55Bea and Pat could
34:56never understand of
34:57her.
34:58They're too old.
34:59Yeah?
35:01They never change
35:01people like them.
35:03I wish you could
35:04meet her.
35:04I think you'd like
35:05her.
35:06Well, one thing's for
35:07sure.
35:07I'm not going to go
35:07to the pound just to
35:08find out.
35:09I don't worry.
35:11She won't be in
35:11there for too much
35:12longer.
35:12How come?
35:14Is she going to
35:14escape?
35:18She didn't say.
35:19Oh, come on,
35:19Roz.
35:20I won't tell
35:20nobody.
35:21You got a visitor,
35:22Colson?
35:23Someone called
35:23Sandra Thompson.
35:25From school?
35:26Oh, great.
35:27Yeah, well, that
35:27should maybe be a
35:28bucket, eh?
35:28Come on.
35:30Come on.
35:31Come on.
35:31Come on.
35:32Come on.
35:32Come on.
35:32Come on.
35:33Come on.
35:33Come on.
35:33Come on.
35:33Come on.
35:33Come on.
35:34Come on.
35:34Come on.
35:35Come on.
35:35Come on.
35:35Come on.
35:35Come on.
35:36Come on.
35:36Come on.
35:37Sandra.
35:39Hi, Ro.
35:39Oh, it's great to
35:41see you.
35:41Sit down.
35:45What did you do
35:45to your arm?
35:46Oh, it's my hand,
35:48actually.
35:49It's nothing serious.
35:50One of my boyfriends
35:51had an accident in his
35:52car.
35:53Oh, it's just
35:54inconvenient.
35:55It means I can't
35:55write.
35:56Mm-hmm.
35:56You're always writing
35:57at school, weren't you?
35:58Essays and stuff.
35:59Still do a bit.
36:01Well, I don't get
36:01much too time for it
36:02these days, though.
36:03We had time for
36:04everything then,
36:05didn't we ever.
36:07Do you remember
36:07that time we put
36:08that laxative in the
36:09urn?
36:10In the staff common
36:12room?
36:12Oh, yeah.
36:12Yeah, sure I did.
36:14And the place was
36:14deserted for days.
36:17Oh, and do you
36:18remember Mr. Veen,
36:19our Spanish teacher?
36:20Mm-hmm.
36:20I ran into her the
36:21other day, and she
36:22wanted to know how
36:23you were.
36:23Oh.
36:24And when I told her,
36:25she'd ask if you'd
36:25write to her.
36:27Oh, I will.
36:28Oh, would you need
36:29her address?
36:30Yes, I'm afraid I do.
36:32She moved, didn't she?
36:33Mm, that's right.
36:34Uh, excuse me, I
36:36can't write.
36:37My hand?
36:38Can I give Ros a pen
36:39and paper so she can
36:40take down the address?
36:41Yes, of course.
36:44Mm.
36:55Uh, it's 14.
36:57Jones Street.
37:00Kensington.
37:01Uh, I can't remember
37:03the postcode.
37:04Oh, that's okay.
37:05I can look that up.
37:07Thanks.
37:10How are you finding it
37:10in here anyway?
37:11Oh, it takes a bit of
37:12getting used to.
37:14Oh, do you remember
37:15our dorm at school?
37:16When you always used
37:17to sleep under the window.
37:19Do you get a window?
37:19Do they let you have a
37:20window in yourself?
37:21Of course they do.
37:22It's primitive, but it's
37:23not that bad.
37:24Do you have a good view?
37:25Oh, fine.
37:26Except when the sun comes
37:27up in the morning,
37:28shines in.
37:29Wakes me up.
37:29Oh, it's a bit hard
37:30to take.
37:31Always were a night owl.
37:34Well, I'd better be going.
37:37Oh, and don't forget
37:38to write to Mr. Veen.
37:39She'd really love
37:40to hear from you.
37:42Well, it's great to see you.
37:45Thanks very much.
37:45I thought you must have
38:08come back here.
38:09What's that?
38:10Oh, it's nothing.
38:11It's just some bits and pieces
38:12Sandra left for me.
38:13I know what it is.
38:15She's a friend of Janet's,
38:16isn't she?
38:16And this is all part
38:17of your escape.
38:18Shut up, will you?
38:19Oh, come on, Roz.
38:20You know I can keep
38:20my mouth shut.
38:26All right.
38:30I'm going to escape
38:30with Janet.
38:33Her friends are tough, Kathleen.
38:35If you let on anything
38:36about this, they'll send
38:38someone here to kill you.
38:40Just like they killed
38:40that man in New York.
38:43You can trust me, Roz.
38:47But how the hell
38:48are you going to do it?
38:50Well, the day after
38:52I get the signal,
38:53I have to drop these capsules
38:54into the officer's coffee
38:56in by 3 p.m.
38:58The time release capsules.
39:00How's that for organisation?
39:01They can make the screws
39:02go to sleep
39:02whenever they want them to.
39:03What's the signal?
39:07A note says I have to watch
39:09for flashing headlights
39:09every night.
39:11Oh, gee, Roz.
39:13She wanted to know
39:14which side of the prison
39:15my window was on.
39:17I let her know
39:18it was on the east side,
39:19right under Fletcher's nose.
39:23Roz, are you sure
39:24you should be with this mob?
39:25I mean, bombs and stuff.
39:27They can do anything
39:28they want.
39:30Everybody's scared of them.
39:33Besides,
39:35anything's better
39:35than being locked up in here.
39:49Come on, you lot.
39:51Out of bed.
39:52This isn't a holiday.
39:53Good morning, Anne.
39:55Good morning, Kathleen.
39:56Good morning, G'day, Bea.
39:58Just a sec, Roz.
40:00What do you want to go
40:01get yourself transferred
40:02out the laundry for?
40:03I just wanted to,
40:04that's all.
40:05Look, I'm just trying to help.
40:07Well, I don't need your help.
40:09Well, suit yourself.
40:11She told Vera yesterday
40:12that I've been threatening you,
40:13right?
40:15Oh, now, come on, love.
40:16I don't have to be mandrake
40:17to work that one out.
40:19What's got into you?
40:20Oh, just leave me alone.
40:21Wake up to yourself, Roz.
40:22Smith?
40:24You warned, Smith.
40:25I don't know.
40:26What you're talking about?
40:27Intimidating Coulson, though.
40:28She was not, Miss Bennett.
40:29Just stay out of this leech.
40:30Well, it looks as if I arrived
40:32just in time, Coulson.
40:33We were just talking.
40:34You were threatening her.
40:35Right, Coulson?
40:39We were just talking, Miss Bennett.
40:41I was right about you, Coulson.
40:43You're not worth worrying about.
40:45But there are rules.
40:47And I'm watching you, Smith.
40:49Now get a move on,
40:49the three of you.
40:50Leela took off in a hurry.
40:59Yeah, she'll take the kids to school.
41:01Yeah.
41:04Jim, do you think it'd be better
41:06if I moved out?
41:08No.
41:09Forget it.
41:10I'm not going to have Leela think
41:11that she can pressure me
41:12by behaving like a child.
41:14It'll never stop.
41:15Yeah, well, I shouldn't be here
41:16for much longer anyway.
41:17What do you know about this Greg?
41:22What's his name?
41:23Miller?
41:24Yeah.
41:25Why?
41:26Hmm.
41:27I just wondered.
41:28I was driving past Meg's place
41:29last night,
41:30called in to say hello,
41:32and while I was there,
41:32Greg rang.
41:34They seem quite friendly.
41:36They are?
41:37Yeah.
41:40Oh, Jeff,
41:40how serious are you about Meg?
41:42Oh, God, Jim,
41:43you sound like a father.
41:45She's a good sort,
41:46that's all.
41:47Oh, she is.
41:48You could do a lot worse.
41:51Yeah, there used to be something
41:52between her and Greg,
41:53but then Karen Travis came along.
41:55This Karen must be quite a lady.
41:57Maybe I should open up
41:58a second front.
42:02Morning, Wendy.
42:03Good morning, Dr Miller.
42:04I'm glad Karen's okay.
42:06Oh, thanks.
42:10Greg, I thought it was you I saw.
42:12I wanted to apologise
42:13about the other night,
42:14about Pat O'Connell.
42:16It was very tactless of me.
42:18I can only say that I've been very busy
42:20and I hope you'll forgive me.
42:22Well, I've been thinking about it myself.
42:25Flying off the handle like that,
42:26it's not really me.
42:27I know that.
42:28And I do realise
42:29that it's hardly Pat's fault
42:30if our son breaks the law,
42:32even if...
42:33I know what you mean.
42:37Well, if you want me to give evidence,
42:38that's okay.
42:39Pat will be very grateful.
42:41Fine.
42:42I'd better be getting on with it.
42:44I'll see you later.
42:45And thanks.
42:47Good morning, Miss Jeffries.
42:48Good morning.
42:49Can I see Pat O'Connell?
42:49Hey, Kate.
42:56Smoke-o.
42:58How's cleaning duty going?
43:00Why do I always get jobs like that?
43:02Don't worry.
43:03It'll only last another day or two
43:04if you keep your nose clean.
43:07How's it going?
43:10Look, come on, love.
43:12Seeing as I know how you like to worry,
43:13why not worry about something new for a change?
43:15Roz.
43:16How's she getting on?
43:18Okay, I guess.
43:19But anyone who likes washing floors
43:20has got to be a bit crazy.
43:21She's not crazy.
43:23She's a bit too smart for her own good
43:24if you ask me, eh, Pat?
43:26Can't accept the responsibilities
43:28of life on the inside.
43:29A lot of young people have that problem.
43:31Yeah, well, we're dealing with one at a time.
43:33At the moment, it's Roz.
43:35She's up to something.
43:37What?
43:39Oh, now, come on.
43:40Don't you play silly buggers with me, Kath.
43:42It's another escape plan, right?
43:44Yeah, right.
43:45Yeah, I told you.
43:47Some people will never learn.
43:49How's she going to do it?
43:50Oh, I don't know.
43:51She hasn't worked out her plans yet.
43:53There's nothing much we can do.
43:55No, except keep an eye on her.
43:57Keep us informed, eh?
43:58Yeah, sure.
43:59Yeah, aren't you supposed to be on cleaning duty?
44:01Yeah, just having a break, Mrs Jackson.
44:04You've got a visitor, Pat.
44:05Angela Jeffries.
44:07Come on, back to work.
44:09He'll be all right, love.
44:11Sure.
44:11I'll be outside.
44:27Sit down, Pat.
44:28Any news about David?
44:32Bad news.
44:33I've received the psychological assessments.
44:38His mind's been affected, which probably means he can beat the murder charge.
44:43But, uh...
44:45The net result is that he'll be held in a mental institution at the Governor's pleasure.
44:51For how long?
44:53There's strong doubt that he'd ever be released.
44:59Pat, I've spoken to your mother and to Dr Miller, and they're both prepared to give evidence for you.
45:04So, providing we can get a sympathetic court, I'm confident the appeal will be upheld.
45:10Thanks.
45:13I'm sorry.
45:15Are you all right?
45:18Yes, I'm fine.
45:23B's worked out that you're planning to escape.
45:26I didn't tell her anything about your friends.
45:29Well, you'd better not have.
45:31What did you say?
45:32That you hadn't worked your plans out yet.
45:36Good.
45:37She's only worried about you, Roz.
45:40Well, she needn't worry about me.
45:44She'll still be locked up in here when I'm miles away.
45:47I'll send you a postcard from Paris.
45:50Blast.
45:51I wonder if I'll see you tonight.
45:54Roz, I've been thinking about that powder stuff.
45:57I mean, the drugs.
45:59Well, how do you know that's really what it is?
46:01What do you want about?
46:03Well, when you put it in the coffee urn, how do you know it's just going to put the screws to sleep?
46:07It might be poison.
46:09Poison?
46:10They're terrorists.
46:11They've killed people before.
46:13And what if Janet dumps you and you've got to take the rat for killing half the screws?
46:17Janet wouldn't do that.
46:19Says who?
46:20She wouldn't.
46:22I'll prove it.
46:23Don't.
46:35See?
46:37Are you feeling okay?
46:39Well, I'm fine.
46:40Now stop worrying.
46:41It was?
46:57I'm fine.
46:58It's bad.
47:07I'm fine.
47:07It's good.
47:10I'll be fine.
47:11Go ahead.
