00:00Dot, I want these vegetables today, not tomorrow.
00:05Flamin' Nancy, boy.
00:07No consideration.
00:08I don't know what this prison's coming to.
00:14You're kidding.
00:14What do you want, then?
00:16New things?
00:18Exciting things?
00:20My tastes are a little different.
00:22You're telling me.
00:24Look, lady, I don't know what turns you on, but...
00:26I'll show you.
00:27You bitch!
00:30I'll back your rackets if you find me the kind of action I like.
00:34Do you understand now?
00:36That kind of action?
00:38I don't want to limit myself.
00:40I'll let you know.
00:41Do we have a deal?
00:44I get the profits?
00:45Sure.
00:47You're a scary lady.
00:50It's half the fun.
00:54You've got to tell the police the truth.
00:57You get away from me, or I'll screen this joint down.
01:00You don't have to worry about Winter.
01:02She escaped.
01:03Now, you just tell the cops that she did it.
01:05You set me up for her, you bitch.
01:07Now, drop dead.
01:14Bloody hell.
01:17It's not on a fence.
01:21Hold it.
01:22Just climb down nice and easy.
01:26I don't want to have to use this thing.
01:28I don't know.
01:58Hell of a racket. What's it for?
02:01Bloody little fool.
02:03Come on, Mara. It doesn't have to be Barbie, does she?
02:05She's not here, is she?
02:07All right, everyone. Line up for a head council.
02:12Someone missing, Mrs. Morris?
02:14We'll soon know, won't we?
02:16Oh, come on, come on. Slime it down.
02:18Betterly. Mitchell seems to be everyone missing.
02:21Desmond, do you know anything about this?
02:23If I did, I would have stopped her.
02:25You're all to be returned to yourselves. Now move out in single file.
02:28Quietly.
02:28Come on, Mara.
02:29Quickly.
02:31Come on, come on. Quiet.
02:37She was shocked for sure.
02:38Some trigger-haven cop tried to notch up a few.
02:41Oh, of course they wouldn't. I'll put a sock in a dot.
02:43Well, I might as well, she's got no future.
02:46I'll sit you down here.
02:47That's all she knows, bitch.
02:47Don't worry. Go on, get a move on.
02:49It's not your fault, love.
02:53I was supposed to be bloody well watching it, Jude.
02:56Yeah, but you can't watch it 24 hours a day, can you?
02:59I don't know.
03:01Pretty rough, odd area for a restaurant, isn't it?
03:04It's fantastic, and it's cheap.
03:06If this place was in Turek, you'd be charged ten times as much.
03:09Oh, so you only brought me here because it's cheap.
03:10Well, let's look for you.
03:11I brought you here to widen your cultural horizons.
03:15My boy.
03:22You know, Eve, I'm a bit disappointed in you.
03:25Well, when you said you were going to introduce me to genuine Chinese tucker,
03:29I thought you were going to cook for me.
03:31Oh, if I were you, I'd be glad I didn't.
03:33I tried to get Chinese food once. It was a total disaster.
03:41Here you go.
03:42Taste buds ready?
03:46Oh, don't worry, I'll show you what to do.
03:50It tastes much better with chopsticks.
03:55Hey, well, what are you wearing, Lattie's?
03:57Straw mushroom.
03:58It looks like a fish, aren't I?
03:59Oh!
04:01It's delicious.
04:03Um, here.
04:05This one?
04:06Between these two fingers.
04:07Right.
04:07Slip that one in under there.
04:09Hold it with the third finger and use the top one to clamp down.
04:11Right?
04:12Okay.
04:14Yeah, how the heck do you manage to make it look so easy?
04:17It is easy.
04:18Nine hundred million Chinese do it every day.
04:20Yeah, but they've been doing it all their ready lives, haven't they?
04:22What's the matter?
04:28I thought I did quite well.
04:30No, just seeing that guy over there at the night reminded me of Bev Baker and her demonstration
04:35on how she dissects her victims.
04:36Oh, no, no, she doesn't have to give anyone nightmares.
04:40You know, the thing that amazes me is that they reckon she's sane.
04:43If that's sane, I'd hate to see what mad is.
04:46Well, I'm mud.
04:48Well, I'm.
04:49Why don't you talk me to try and eat with these things?
04:55Poor little Bobby.
04:57Stupid little bitch.
04:59If she was on the run before, you would have thought she would have remembered how hard
05:02it was.
05:03If only she'd waited.
05:04Mm-hmm.
05:05You're quiet tonight, aren't you?
05:07Don't feel too good, Jude.
05:09Hmm.
05:10I just never shut you up before.
05:12I reckon this is serious.
05:14Jude.
05:15Eh?
05:16With that gadget in your chest, you'd know a bit about heart attacks, wouldn't you?
05:22A bit?
05:22Why?
05:23How many you had?
05:25Why do you ask, Dot?
05:27Well, what's it feel like?
05:29If you just had one, or are you about to have one?
05:33It feels great, you know?
05:35I mean, you haven't really lived until you've had a couple of heart attacks.
05:38I mean, what's it really feel like?
05:40Is the pain just in your chest or other places, too?
05:43Dot, I thought that you had back trouble.
05:47It's got nothing to do with it.
05:48Oh.
05:49I see.
05:50Now you've decided you're going to have a weak ticker.
05:52Is that it?
05:53I've decided nothing of the sort.
05:55Just ask a simple question.
05:57Give it a rest, will you?
05:59No harm, you bloody ask.
06:00I'll tell you what harm there is.
06:02One of these days, Dot, you're going to be really sick.
06:05And you're going to be just like the boy that cried wolf.
06:08Nobody's going to believe you.
06:10Mm-hmm.
06:10Yeah.
06:11You're going to be real.
06:12Mm-hmm.
06:12Mm-hmm.
06:13Mm-hmm.
06:13Mm-hmm.
06:15Mm-hmm.
06:22Mm-hmm.
07:23Oh, well, at least yous are still here, eh?
07:29What's happening?
07:30Oh, stuff all, really.
07:31We're getting a bus up tomorrow night.
07:33You're going to leave it to Sydney?
07:34Yeah, you can come with us if you want.
07:36Oh, no, I had a bit of a bummer up in Sydney a couple of months back.
07:41It's not me favourite place.
07:42Besides, I haven't got any money.
07:44Don't exactly give you wages in the nick, you know.
07:46Suit yourself.
07:48Listen, we're on our way to school.
07:52Yeah, sure.
07:53See us later then, eh?
07:54Say hello to everyone else.
08:00I hope they catch that, kid.
08:12Why's that?
08:14I wouldn't mind asking her what it was like to actually escape with all those searchlights and sirens going.
08:20Better get the old adrenaline flowing.
08:22A bit like knowing the cops were after you, I imagine.
08:24You enjoyed that, did you?
08:28Yes.
08:29Would have been better with lights and sirens, though.
08:34Why don't you try it sometime?
08:36Find out first-hand.
08:39I might just do that.
08:41Someday when I'm feeling bored.
08:44How'd you find working in the kitchen?
08:47Boring?
08:48No.
08:49I kept myself amused.
08:52I bet.
08:53Nothing worse than being bored, eh, Myra?
08:56Might as well be dead.
08:58Most people aren't all that good at entertaining themselves.
09:02Me.
09:03I'm an expert.
09:05Fine.
09:07If burning your hand on the press entertains you, good.
09:11As long as you don't hurt anyone else, that's your business.
09:14Oh, but they do get hurt.
09:16You know, it amazes me how many people are accident-prone.
09:20They just don't know how to look after themselves.
09:21Take most of the women in here.
09:24They're here because they don't know how to look after themselves.
09:27Need someone to feed them, tuck them in at night.
09:31Don't underestimate the women in here.
09:35They know how to survive.
09:37They learn that very fast.
09:39So long as they follow the rules of the top dog.
09:45I don't make any rules.
09:47I'm top dog because I won't be pushed around.
09:51It's an interesting pecking order.
09:54Surely it makes you feel powerful,
09:57knowing all the women look up to you for leadership.
09:58I'm not into playing God, if that's what you mean.
10:02I'm top dog because the women want me to be.
10:06It's good that you play straight down the line.
10:13I know where I stand with you.
10:16Me?
10:18I'm more the compulsive type.
10:21I have to try everything.
10:23New adventures.
10:24New experiences.
10:27Yeah.
10:28I've noticed.
10:30Good.
10:31I thought you were the understanding type.
10:38What are you getting at?
10:41It's like this.
10:43I'm taking over as top dog.
10:47Are you?
10:49Don't worry, Myra.
10:51The transition will be painless, I assure you.
11:00So, what do you reckon?
11:06It wasn't all that bad, was it?
11:08It's hard to say, really.
11:09I think I dropped more than I ate.
11:11Is that why they say you always feel hungry after a Chinese?
11:14No, seriously, though.
11:16Weren't those crab claws amazing?
11:19Pretty good.
11:20Mainly because I could eat them with my fingers.
11:24I've got a confession to make to you.
11:26What's that?
11:26Well, it took me ages to learn to eat with chopsticks.
11:30Well, you could have told me that a few hours ago.
11:32What?
11:33I miss all the fun of watching you try to eat and still remain the perfect gentleman.
11:37Hey.
11:38Hey, wasn't that Bobby Mitchell?
11:40Couldn't have been.
11:41It was, you know.
11:43Go on for a moment, wait for me to the car.
11:45You bastard!
12:00Come, come along.
12:03Come along.
12:04Come along.
12:04Come along.
12:15Get underway.
12:45Yeah, they knew about it.
12:47Oh, God, are you okay?
12:48Please don't take me back.
12:50We've got to get her to a police station.
12:51I'm not talking to any coppers.
12:53We've got to report it to them, Bobby.
12:55Oh, please, can't you just leave me here?
12:57I can't.
12:58It's not up to us, Bobby.
12:59Look, don't make any more trouble for yourself.
13:01I don't need to make trouble for myself.
13:03There's always some bastard ready to make it for me.
13:05What difference does it make to you if I stay here?
13:08Well, apart from anything else, we've got to get you to a doctor, mate.
13:11Oh, your bloody mate.
13:12Come on, in the car.
13:13Oh, my God.
13:18Oh, my God.
13:19Oh, my God.
13:21Oh, my God.
13:29I've been worried sick about you, how'd you get out?
13:53Jump the fence, how do you reckon?
13:55What happened?
13:56I kind of went a while when I was getting out.
13:58No talking in solitary.
13:59Mrs. Morris, do you reckon I could tell Bobby about the record attempt?
14:04She could be practicing while she's up here.
14:06We're gonna break the world's record and get in the Guinness Book.
14:09You could be my part.
14:10That's enough.
14:11Hang in there, Bobby.
14:13We're all out!
14:14We're all out!
14:15Sleep alright, Dot?
14:20Who can sleep on these damn beds?
14:23I've seen the old girl looking better.
14:27She's practicing her heart attack symptoms.
14:29A what?
14:30Yeah, she realizes that we're sick of her crook back story, so she asked me last night what
14:33it felt like to have a heart attack.
14:35Oh, thanks.
14:36Guess who I just saw her signature?
14:38Oh, they've gotten Bobby.
14:39Is she okay?
14:40Yeah, my hands are all bandaged up when she cut them going over barbed wire.
14:44She must have wanted to escape really bad to do that to herself.
14:47I think she's really depressed.
14:48Well, I'm not surprised, are you?
14:54Did you two have a little chat last night, huh?
15:05I wouldn't exactly call it a chat.
15:08She's decided to take over as top dog.
15:11You're killing her.
15:12Nope, and I don't think she is, are you?
15:15Well, what are we going to do about that?
15:16We are going to do nothing.
15:18And I'm buggered if I know what I'm going to do until she makes her first move.
15:21Come off it, Myra.
15:22That woman is dangerous.
15:23She's a killer.
15:24You can't handle it on your own.
15:25I'm not going to watch people get hurt, Jude.
15:27It's my problem.
15:28No way, Myra.
15:29We work together, remember?
15:30Not this time, Jude.
15:32Now look, apart from the fact that I care about you.
15:35Judy, please.
15:36Apart from that fact, this concerns all of us.
15:39How do you think we'd be if she took over?
15:41I'd like to get out of this place one day, preferably alive and in one case.
15:44Now, there's no way you can handle that woman on your own.
15:47Yeah, I suppose you're right.
15:50I'm just wondering what her next thrill is going to be.
15:56The point is, Ray, that she escaped through the kitchen exit
15:59and the department want to know why and how.
16:01But she couldn't have, Mrs. Reynolds.
16:03I distinctly remember that I locked the door before I left.
16:06Where was Mitchell at the time?
16:08She was mopping up.
16:10And you left her alone?
16:12Why couldn't you have told an officer if you had to leave?
16:15Surely you were informed of the procedure.
16:17I locked the door and I trusted the girl's word
16:19that she'd return to the others as soon as she finished.
16:22She seemed to be quite a nice type.
16:24I didn't believe it when I heard the news.
16:27All right.
16:28You were brought in at short notice
16:30and perhaps you weren't fully aware of the rules.
16:32But during the last few days,
16:35don't fraternize with the women and don't leave them alone.
16:41Am I being set?
16:42No.
16:43I've just heard that Mrs. O'Regan will be fit enough
16:46to return to work in two or three days' time.
16:49Oh, well.
16:50Such is life.
16:51At least I've got a couple of days
16:54to show what a perfect prison chef is like.
16:57Right.
17:04And just to make up for all the trouble I've caused,
17:07lunch will be stunning.
17:12Green on the graveyard, you.
17:13Though you could hardly say last night was as quiet as the grave.
17:16Yeah.
17:17I heard about the escape.
17:18Usually liven things up.
17:19To put it mildly.
17:20Ah.
17:21Miss Ferguson.
17:22I was told you wanted to see me.
17:23Yeah.
17:24I'd like to have a word in private if I could.
17:25Yes.
17:26I'm just leaving.
17:27Detective Kendall.
17:28Well, have you finished your investigations?
17:29We have.
17:30It looks as though we're going to have to drop the charges against you.
17:44We've interviewed everyone and it seems that no one can or will corroborate the charge.
17:50So now you think I'm innocent, is that it?
17:52I wouldn't say that.
17:53I knew it doesn't matter much what you think, does it?
17:56And I wouldn't say that either, Miss Ferguson.
18:19Do you want something, Baker?
18:21Top dog gets to operate the press.
18:23Is that right?
18:24Yeah.
18:25That's right.
18:26I told you last night I'd be taking over for a while.
18:30It doesn't quite work like that.
18:32I'm top dog because the women want me to be.
18:35What makes you think they wouldn't rather have me?
18:38Let's ask them, shall we?
18:40Sounds fair enough.
18:44Ladies, Baker seems to think she'd make a better top dog than me.
18:47Do any of you agree?
18:48Do any of you agree?
18:52I'll speak up now.
18:53You may as well get this settled once and for all.
18:59I guess they just don't know you well enough here.
19:03Anything wrong, ladies?
19:04I guess not.
19:05I guess not.
19:14Don't look so frightened, Myra.
19:17I'd have got it right between your honor and your radius if I'd meant to.
19:21I never miss my dog.
19:22Well, I guess it's fair enough if the Oregon woman wants her job back.
19:34Yeah, well, I reckon it stinks.
19:36Old food poisoning Oregon couldn't cook away out of a paper bag.
19:40I mean, look at what you're doing.
19:42You'd never catch her tasting her own cooking.
19:45Well, I suppose the quality of the cuisine doesn't matter much.
19:49Yeah, well, it matters to us.
19:50We're the ones that have to eat the bloody stuff.
19:53I reckon we should tell Reno that we want you to stay on.
19:57Present it with a petition or something.
19:59Thanks for the thought, Pat.
20:00But I doubt it would do any good.
20:02I'll be alive and chop up a bit more for me, will you?
20:07Damn, Bobby, after all the troubles she caused,
20:09she could at least have managed to stay on the loose.
20:12I reckon she's got the worst luck of anyone in the world.
20:15Poor little pet.
20:17I wish there was something I could do to cheer her up.
20:20I don't suppose you've got any suggestions?
20:23How about if I'll whip up something stunningly tasty for her lunch?
20:27Do you think it might help?
20:29You're a real winner, Ray.
20:30What can we do to help you?
20:32Well, just tell me what she likes and I'll see what I can do.
20:37How are you on hamburgers and chips?
20:40Come in.
20:42Officer Barry said you wanted to see me?
20:45Yes, Miss Ferguson.
20:47Sit down.
20:50This was hand-delivered from the department a few minutes ago.
20:54It concerns you.
20:56Something to do with the police dropping charges against me, hmm?
21:00Yes.
21:01But despite the fact that the charges have been dropped,
21:03the department's still unhappy.
21:05Taking this into account and other serious charges which have been levelled against her,
21:11we have grave doubts about Ferguson's continuing suitability as an officer.
21:16Well, throw enough mud, it's bound to stick, isn't it?
21:19I'm sorry, but they've asked for your resignation.
21:24Effective immediately.
21:25Don't know why she took up nursing?
21:35She would have been a lot happier as a butcher.
21:37Yeah.
21:39You know what about that scissors thing?
21:40She didn't care whether she hurt you or not.
21:43Aren't you hungry?
21:44I was, so you started talking about butchers and stabbing.
21:47Oh, yeah, I'm sorry.
21:48She'll put me off my food in a minute, too.
21:51Wonder where Bobby is?
21:52Oh, I wish I could talk to her.
21:53Well, what good would that do?
21:55What are you going to say to her?
21:56You're going to bugger up your parole?
21:57You're going to cut more time?
21:58She knows that already.
21:59Yeah.
22:00Maybe she just needs a shoulder to cry on, though.
22:02Oh, if only she'd hung on.
22:04She could have got out and stayed out.
22:07You can't tell kids anything.
22:08They know it all.
22:10Pity she had to learn the hard way, though.
22:11That's what you all had to do.
22:12Yeah.
22:13Come look at us.
22:15Excuse me, ladies.
22:16I'm sorry to interrupt your meal, but it's good news.
22:19Yeah, so is this meal.
22:21The department's decided to let you try for the Guinness waltzing record.
22:25Well, so on, Miss Honeychalmer.
22:27I have the honor of this next waltz.
22:29Sit down.
22:31Come on, settle down.
22:33Of course, all proceeds will go towards equipment for the deaf school.
22:37Oh, yeah, sure.
22:39Well, the department was a little surprised when I mentioned a waltz record,
22:43but it is for a worthwhile cause,
22:45so they're pretty certain that the government will match whatever you raise dollar for dollar.
22:48Oh-ho!
22:50That's all. Thank you.
22:52Well, I never thought they'd go for it.
22:54Me either.
22:55I mean, what is going on in this place, huh?
22:58We got great food.
22:59We got waltzing.
23:00It's like being sentenced to a ten-year dinner date.
23:04Of course, everyone's calling this a resignation.
23:08But who's going to believe that?
23:10Nah, this job's the only thing Joan Ferguson's got in the world.
23:13She wouldn't resign.
23:14She's been fired.
23:16And I think I had something to do with it.
23:18How?
23:19Well, I put in a report on her after the riot.
23:22What, for negligence?
23:23Hmm, something like that.
23:25Does she know about that?
23:27I don't think so.
23:28I mean, I'm still here in one piece.
23:30Well, if I were you, my girl, I'd keep that very much to myself.
23:33Joan Ferguson's not the type to forgive and forget.
23:35It's as though I'm interrupting something.
23:38Oh, no.
23:39No, no, no.
23:40We were just chatting about this and that.
23:43Look, I was very sorry to hear about your resignation.
23:48I'd just like to wish you all the best for the future.
23:52Yeah, good luck.
23:54And good riddance?
23:56You hypocrites.
23:58You can't wait to see the last of me, can you?
24:00But you crawl around with your good wishes and your good luck.
24:04I might not like you, but I don't bear grudges either.
24:08Save it.
24:09You can carve Wentworth up between you as far as I'm concerned.
24:12But you know it's the women who've really won.
24:14They'll manipulate and use you till you won't know who are the officers
24:17and who are the prisoners.
24:19Because no one has got the guts or the brains to stand up to them.
24:23So you can save your good luck sentiments for yourselves.
24:26You're gonna need it.
24:27It's gonna be a long time before you're fully recovered, dear.
24:35You'll have to be very patient.
24:37Yeah.
24:39I can't stay long.
24:41The doctor won't allow it.
24:44But I just thought you should know your father's will was read yesterday.
24:48So?
24:49You're the main beneficiary.
24:53You're joking.
24:55I'd hardly call $200,000 a joke.
25:00Changed his will, did he?
25:02He did.
25:04He didn't even confide in me.
25:07And he contested?
25:09Don't talk like that.
25:12Must have been a bit of a smack in the face for you.
25:15That doesn't matter now.
25:18All that's important is that you get well.
25:21Mother, don't lie to me.
25:23You're only interested in the money.
25:25Don't be so cruel.
25:27I came here to help you.
25:31Now, I think you should invest the money until you're fit and free.
25:36Your father would have wanted it that way.
25:39Are there conditions in the will?
25:41No, it's yours outright.
25:45I'm just trying to advise you.
25:47In fact, I think it would be wise if I had power of attorney and that way-
25:51No!
25:52Rebecca!
25:53I said no!
25:55My dear, it's the logical thing to do.
25:58Then why'd you leave the money to me instead of you?
26:01What are you insinuating?
26:04Nothing.
26:07It's just that...
26:09Dad thought money talked.
26:12It's the only way he knew how to say anything.
26:16200,000 bucks.
26:18It's a lot of talk.
26:20I wonder what he was trying to say to me.
26:25I wonder what he was trying to say to you.
26:27I'm knocking off early, Miss Ferguson.
26:28Oh, Shane!
26:29What happened?
26:30It doesn't matter.
26:31It does matter.
26:32When was it this time?
26:33I tried to sneak out and see you and Nicky.
26:34He caught me.
26:35I'm gonna get him one day.
26:36One day when I'm bigger.
26:37See how he likes it.
26:38I don't think we'll have to wait that long, mate.
26:39How's Nicky?
26:40It's a lot better than you are.
26:41Come on, I'll have someone look at those bruises.
26:43Feel like you're under a microscope?
26:44Yeah.
26:45Aw, come on, Doc.
26:46Put a little life into it.
26:47What is it?
26:48What is it?
26:49What is it?
26:50What is it?
26:51What is it?
26:52What is it?
26:53What is it?
26:54What is it?
26:55What is it?
26:56I don't think we'll have to wait that long, mate.
26:59How's Nicky?
27:00It's a lot better than you are.
27:03Come on, I'll have someone look at those bruises.
27:08Feel like you're under a microscope?
27:10Yeah.
27:12Aw, come on, Doc.
27:13Put a little life into it.
27:14What is this?
27:15A go slow or something?
27:16Why not?
27:17I've got the rest of me five scenes to finish it.
27:19Oh, you're breaking my heart.
27:22Right, where's Turner?
27:23In the loo, Mrs. Barry.
27:25Oh, well, when she gets back, ask her to report for kitchen duty.
27:28We'll do.
27:30Put on your high-heeled sneakers, girl.
27:31We've really got something to dance about now.
27:34Aw, you're really excited about it, aren't you, lovely?
27:36Isn't everybody?
27:37Yeah, but the whole waltz thing was your idea.
27:40Who's talking about waltz and I'm talking about the three?
27:42Ah, don't tell me.
27:43She is going to judge it.
27:46Oh, my God, haven't you heard?
27:48Heard what?
27:49She's been fired.
27:51What?
27:52She's got the sack.
27:53Her marching orders, the boot.
27:55Keep going, keep going.
27:56She's all washed up.
27:57Music to my ears.
27:58Since when?
27:59Since now, she's already gone.
28:00Groomstick and all.
28:01Yeah.
28:02Hey, come on, Doc.
28:03It's a man.
28:04It's a man.
28:05It's a man.
28:06It's a man.
28:07It's a man.
28:08Come on, man.
28:09It's a man.
28:10Oh, my God.
28:11I think it's a man.
28:12She looks so bad.
28:13Let her get some air.
28:14Look, she was talking about heart attacks last night.
28:15I thought she was only griping.
28:17Looks like she's got something to gripe about her too.
28:19Where's the pain?
28:20Right here.
28:21And what's it feel like?
28:23Like it's...
28:24Like it's a crash with me.
28:25Is it a heart?
28:26No.
28:27Get a screw, quickly.
28:36Aren't you sure there's no other pain?
28:38Yeah.
28:39It's just the bruises?
28:40That's all.
28:41I'm okay.
28:42Okay.
28:43You can get dressed.
28:49Who did that to you?
28:51His father?
28:52Are you a relative?
28:53Friend of the family?
28:54No.
28:55I'm a friend of Shane's.
28:56You know, Doctor, this has happened before.
28:58And something's got to be done about it.
29:00Well, you're getting into a dicey area.
29:01If you want to push child abuse, you'll need proof.
29:04What do you call those bruises?
29:06They're not proof.
29:07Was there a witness to the beating?
29:08No.
29:09Then you've only got the boy's word that it was his father.
29:11So you're telling me that nothing can be done?
29:14No.
29:15But it is dangerous ground.
29:16You could take it up with the police.
29:18No, I can't.
29:19Why not?
29:20I just can't.
29:21Honey, Jane, I'd better get home before Dad gets there.
29:26Sure.
29:27Would you happen to have a camera anywhere around?
29:29Yes, sure.
29:30I'd like you to take some pictures of these bruises.
29:32All right.
29:33I'd also like you to sign them and date them, please.
29:35Fine.
29:36Okay?
29:37Now, is there a telephone around here I might use?
29:38Yes, just at the end of the corridor.
29:40Bye.
29:41Who are you going to call?
29:43I'll call an old friend of mine, a solicitor.
29:46And we're going to give your father a little of his own medicine back.
29:49In fact, we're going to get him right where it hurts.
29:52I'm not going to no hospital.
29:54I know me rights and I'm not going.
29:56Stop fussing.
29:57How is she?
29:58I didn't fit.
29:59Except for suspected ulcer.
30:01An ulcer?
30:02I thought it was a heart attack.
30:03So did I.
30:04I've got this terrible pain for days now.
30:07Why didn't you report to sister?
30:08Well, I didn't want to cause no one no trouble.
30:11I never wanted to complain.
30:13She'll have to go to Wentworth General for a barrier mill test.
30:15We know for certain then.
30:16No!
30:17Dot, we've been through all this.
30:19You'll have to go.
30:20And that's all there is to it.
30:21Mrs Reynolds, please don't send me to no hospital.
30:24All my needs to rest up a bit.
30:26A day or two, I'll be fit as a fiddle.
30:28Dot, calm down.
30:29I thought you of all people would love to go to a hospital.
30:31All that attention, nurses running after you.
30:34Forgetting about me.
30:35I'm not going to be left there alone to die.
30:38You are not going to be left alone.
30:40One escape this week is enough.
30:42And you are not going to die.
30:44It's only an ulcer, Dot.
30:45Treatment of them is very simple.
30:47Probably only keep you a few hours.
30:48You will lie.
30:49Dot!
30:50And what do they do after these tests and things?
30:53Well, I suppose you'll be put on a diet.
30:55A diet?
30:58First decent tucker I get since I've been inside.
31:01They put me on a diet.
31:03You can't win.
31:05I bet that's what caused it in the first place.
31:08That woman's cooking.
31:10Me back's been giving me billy-oh of two lately.
31:13Might be pressing on the ulcer.
31:16And me legs are giving me trouble too.
31:18I can't tell you what I've been through lately.
31:20I think it's at me knees.
31:21Well, Marlene, I don't know what you expect.
31:24I mean, this terrible place.
31:27This room.
31:28Come on, Mum.
31:29Would you rather be standing outside in the rain?
31:32We are in the process of converting another area for a new visitor's room.
31:36Should be finished in about another month's time.
31:38See, things aren't so bad around here after all.
31:41How's business, Dad?
31:44Oh, real beaut.
31:45Just haven't been able to get away, that's all.
31:47Dad's a sign writer.
31:48Oh, well, aren't they slept in weeks?
31:50Worrying about you and that awful riot?
31:52Well, look, you get a good sleep tonight because I came through it without a scratch, alright?
31:56Did you get the book I sent you?
31:58Oh, yeah.
31:59You wouldn't believe the fuss that caused around here.
32:01We're going to have a waltz marathon, aren't we, Mrs. Barrett?
32:04Yes.
32:05They're going for the record.
32:06Why?
32:07To raise money for charity.
32:08But you won't have any partners.
32:10They aren't any men.
32:11Oh, well, some of the girls around here are the next best thing, if you know what I mean.
32:15Oh, don't talk about that, Marlene.
32:17I'll never get to sleep.
32:18Sorry.
32:19You know your mother and I could give you a few pointers, don't you?
32:22Oh, of course.
32:24Hey, I wonder, Mum and Dad used to be champion ballroom dancers.
32:28Do you think the Governor would let them come in and give us a few?
32:31Sorry.
32:32Oh, we'll muddle through.
32:35Would you like to borrow me pink?
32:37That old frilly thing.
32:39Oh, thanks all the same, Mum.
32:42Well, if there's anything we can do, help with the music, anything like that, you let us know, eh?
32:47Thanks, Dad.
32:48Hey, maybe you could get us some sponsors.
32:51It's for a really good cause.
32:53All the money goes to the Children's Deaf Institute.
32:56Well, I'll give it a go.
32:58Thanks.
32:59And maybe a few signs just to brighten the place up a bit?
33:03We could do with it.
33:04You can count on your old man.
33:06Thanks, Dad.
33:07You're great.
33:08So are you, love.
33:09There isn't much that can get you down, eh?
33:11I'm awfully sorry, but it is time.
33:14Look after yourself, love.
33:17I will.
33:18I couldn't bear it if anything happened to you.
33:20Nothing's gonna happen to me.
33:23Except maybe flat feet.
33:31Has he been beaten like this before?
33:33Regularly.
33:34One day that moron's gonna kill him.
33:36You've really thought this through?
33:38Yes.
33:39Have you mentioned it to the Major?
33:41Yes, I have.
33:43Geoffrey, what are my chances?
33:46It's that important to you?
33:47Yeah.
33:48I won't have him hurt like that anymore.
33:50How does Shane feel about you?
33:52Oh, he was trying to get to see me when the bastard did that to him.
33:55He's desperate to get away from that man.
33:57I see.
33:58And Geoffrey, I'm just as desperate to keep the child.
34:01You know, to give him a good home, a chance at some future.
34:05Without me, he's got nothing.
34:08All right.
34:10But I warn you, getting custody isn't going to be easy.
34:13I know that.
34:14Well, for the details.
34:15Do you own the house you're living in?
34:17Yeah.
34:18Oh, there's a mortgage, of course.
34:19We'll lean on your father's army record a little.
34:21It all helps.
34:22Well, that's fine.
34:23Fortunately, your own work record is good.
34:25I'll contact the department for details.
34:28What details?
34:30Oh, length of service, dedication, prospects, whatever they can supply.
34:34In an adoption bid, it's essential, especially as you're single.
34:38I see.
34:40Geoffrey, what would my chances be if I was unemployed?
34:44You wouldn't stand any chance at all.
34:47She just kept calling us hypocrites and incompetence and then she stormed out.
34:52I think Joyce was still standing with her hand out ready for a second.
34:55After all this time, she's finally gone.
34:57I can't believe it.
34:59Seems to be everyone's reaction.
35:01Oh, between us and the women, we've tried everything from lynching to bear traps to get rid of her.
35:05And in the end, she did it herself.
35:07Well, thank God that's over.
35:09It's been quite a day.
35:10Off to celebrate?
35:11Well, yes, in a way.
35:13I've got to go to the union office and file a report on Joan Sacking.
35:16Ahem.
35:17Oh, sorry.
35:18Resignation.
35:19Hope you can keep a straight face.
35:20Well, it's just a formality, really.
35:22Actually, Mrs Reynolds couldn't have been fairer.
35:25I'll see you later.
35:26Right, bye.
35:27Bye.
35:28Oh, you look about five years younger.
35:30Oh, I feel it.
35:32Joan Ferguson's been involved in everything from bashings to blackmail since she's been in Wentworth
35:37and a whole lot of other things.
35:39And now she's finally gone.
35:41I, for one, couldn't be happier.
36:11One, couldn't be happier because only for half years established.
36:33Was there, too?
36:34...
36:38So why don't you borrow the dress?
36:57Yes!
36:58Are you kidding?
36:59It's in screaming hot pink and it's got 200 metres of jewel under the skirt.
37:03What's going on around here?
37:05You can't even sneeze without a screw checking to see if you've used a hanker.
37:10Looks like we'll be stuck with denim, eh, girl?
37:12Hey, Alice?
37:13Oh, butter off!
37:14Butter off!
37:15Butter off!
37:16Butter off!
37:17Let her go.
37:18Don't move.
37:19She'll be dead before you take another step, so don't take it.
37:22Why the hell are you doing this?
37:24Just some cheap thrills, isn't it, baby?
37:26Oh, I don't know about cheap.
37:27Would you say your life was cheap, Marlene?
37:30Tell me what you're feeling right now.
37:32What does it feel like?
37:33I'm scared.
37:34Well, you'll have to do better than that, Marlene.
37:35I'm gonna be sick!
37:36What else?
37:37I'm dizzy.
37:38Oh, God, please!
37:39Oh, it's not up to God, Marlene.
37:40Whether you live or die, it's up to me.
37:41It's all up to me.
37:42Haven't you had enough excitement for one day?
37:43Don't be like that, Judy.
37:44Don't be like that, Judy.
37:45I just thought we should have a friendly chat.
37:46Oh, it's not up to God, Marlene.
37:47Whether you live or die, it's up to me.
37:48It's all up to me.
37:52It's all up to me.
37:53It's all up to me.
37:55It's all up to me.
37:59I think you've had enough excitement for one day.
38:00Don't be like that, Judy.
38:01I just thought we should have a friendly chat.
38:02We should get to know each other better.
38:04Well, Marlene was your friend.
38:05I see how you treated her.
38:06That was merely a bit of fun.
38:07Fun?
38:08You practically killed her.
38:09No.
38:10I wasn't even trying.
38:11That was just to let the others know who'll be running for it.
38:13We'll be running for the rest of the rest of the night.
38:15Can you help me?
38:16Well, I'll be happy.
38:17I won't be happy.
38:18And I'll be happy.
38:19I can't see you.
38:20I'll be happy.
38:21I can't see you.
38:22I can't see you.
38:23I can't see you.
38:24It's all up to me.
38:25I can't see you.
38:26I can't see you.
38:27I can see you.
38:28I can't see you.
38:29I can see you.
38:30I can't see you.
38:31I can see you.
38:32just to let the others know who'll be running this show.
38:35Yeah, but we've got a top dog.
38:38Judy, Judy.
38:40I'm disappointed in you.
38:43You're not playing the game.
38:44Yeah, I gave up games in high school.
38:47Relax.
38:48I'm sure when you get to know me, we'll be good friends.
38:52I want you to be my lieutenant when I'm top dog.
38:55I don't think you've been paying attention.
38:57To be top dog in this place, you have to win the women's support.
39:00Support or respect.
39:06Basically, all the women want is alcohol and drugs.
39:11Provide those and you have their support, right?
39:16I thought so.
39:18Cheer up, Judy.
39:20You and I, we need a bit of fun.
39:22We've got a lot in common.
39:24Yeah, the only person you have anything in common with is Jack the Ripper.
39:27Clever.
39:28Not clever enough.
39:31You see, you got put in here for killing Hazel, wasn't it?
39:36Yes, that's the name.
39:38A mercy killing, but you let yourself get caught for it.
39:41I did the same thing once.
39:46I was nursing this old guy who was on a respirator.
39:50Noiser old codger he was.
39:53Wheezing and grunting.
39:54Very distracting.
39:57Couldn't concentrate on my crossword.
39:58So I pulled out the plug.
40:02That was the end of his problems.
40:05So, you see, we have a lot in common.
40:12Think about it.
40:13I'll keep the position open for a while.
40:24Relax, ladies.
40:26Just a business call.
40:27I was having a chat to Lou yesterday about the rackets.
40:33Yeah, we saw her arm.
40:34She's lucky she's still got it.
40:36I've decided to go into business, and I've decided you're going to help me.
40:40Yeah, sure.
40:42Sure.
40:42Okay.
40:43I thought so.
40:45What percentage do we get?
40:46Work it out with Lou.
40:48Three ways.
40:48Eh?
40:49There's four of us.
40:50I don't want a cut.
40:53Why are you getting mixed up in it, then?
40:55Amusement.
40:57When can you get me some knives?
40:59What kind?
41:00Carving.
41:01Kitchen, I guess.
41:03But you can't just walk out with them.
41:05You'll think of something.
41:06That way you'll get your percentage, and I'll get my amusement.
41:15Jeez, I don't like it.
41:17I'd rather be with her than against her.
41:19I've got to do something, Mara.
41:20I'm scared stiff.
41:22Yeah, you and me both.
41:23Well, what's happened now?
41:25Bev just had a chat with me.
41:26She said she wants me to team up with her when she takes over as top dog.
41:30Did she mention when or how she's taking over?
41:33No.
41:34You just get rid of the freak.
41:35Now we've got a worse one dumped in our laps.
41:36Well, what are you going to do about it, Mara, before she kills one of us?
41:39The first thing we're going to do is stop panicking, so calm down.
41:42Well, we've got to get rid of her somehow.
41:44She's nothing but trouble.
41:46Can't you see Mrs. Reynolds again?
41:47There's no point, Judah.
41:48Hands are tied.
41:49Well, what are we going to do if we can't get her transferred?
41:52I don't know, but we're going to investigate every angle.
41:55There has got to be something we can do.
41:57This roster isn't working out.
41:59I mean, you lose an officer and it throws everything out of kilter.
42:01Maybe you could ring Miss Ferguson and get her to come back.
42:05Oh, look, I've just fixed it.
42:07I've decided to work five straight shifts.
42:10Had to go with the union.
42:12They won't accept Joan's sacking.
42:14What?
42:14That was completely justified.
42:17I tried to explain that, but they wouldn't accept it.
42:20The department's tried negotiations, but the union won't budge.
42:23They want Joan back.
42:25And until she's reinstated, we're on strike.
42:30From when?
42:31As of now.
42:32Are you telling me that you're expected to go on strike to get Joan Ferguson back her job?
42:37He used to give me roses
42:48I wish he could again
42:53But that was on the outside
42:58And things were different then
43:04On the inside
43:05The sun still shines
43:08And the rain falls down
43:13But the sun and rain are prisoners too
43:18When morning comes around
43:23Last night I dreamed we were together
43:28Sharing all the love with me
43:33Till I had to face the nightmare
43:39Till I had to face the nightmare
43:39Of waking up alone
43:43On the inside
43:45The roses glow
43:47They don't lie in the stony ground
43:53But the roses here are Christmas too
43:58When morning comes around
44:03And thezuk
44:14And the simples
44:14The roses glow
44:16The roses glow
44:18A Harry
44:19The roses glow
44:20The roses glow
