00:01Will Miss Ferguson be appealing to the Department of Her Dispatch?
00:03Look, Miss Ferguson will talk to the media when she chooses and not before.
00:06And until then, if you don't mind, I'd like you all to move off.
00:09Are you a relative of Miss Ferguson?
00:10Yes, I'm her father, and I'm very concerned...
00:12I'm just turning this way a bit.
00:13Look that thing down!
00:14Keep your pants on, sir.
00:15Now, look, this has got to stop.
00:16My daughter's been under severe strain.
00:18Is it true that Miss Ferguson's sacking was linked to an incident in which a prisoner was hospitalized?
00:21I'm quite sure the police can tell you that no such charges have been made.
00:25Now, no more questions, please.
00:26Oh, come on, couldn't we talk to Miss Ferguson for just a minute?
00:29Look, I'm sorry, gentlemen, but enough is enough.
00:31Now, I want you to respect our privacy and leave.
00:39Who are you going to break the strike?
00:41Let's jump when we think of flat legs.
00:43Hey!
00:44You should be raising funds to help prisoners rehabilitate themselves once they're released from here.
01:01Now, I think the best idea would be...
01:03We don't care what you think.
01:06Now, you bloody social workers, you're all the same.
01:09Your heads are stacked full of theories.
01:12I bet you've never met a crim before today.
01:15You're just a professional do-gooder, so take your magic theories and peddle them somewhere else.
01:19Okay, ladies.
01:20A special prize for you, Bobby.
01:33It's the full manicure.
01:35No!
01:36No!
01:37No!
01:38No!
01:39No!
01:40No!
01:41No!
01:42No!
01:43No!
01:44No!
01:45No!
01:46No!
01:47No!
01:48No!
01:49No!
01:50I don't know why them social workers are here.
01:52Bev's the only one who's meant...
01:53Oh, shut up and keep counting, will you?
01:54Anyway, they're social workers, not shrinks.
01:55Yeah, I don't see what's wrong with having them.
01:56Oh, you would.
01:57Oh, come on.
01:58Better than having someone like the freak.
01:59Talk about having a screw loose.
02:00Well, them buggers couldn't even pull a skin off a rice pudding.
02:01Oh, I have to agree with you there, Dot.
02:02We struck a lot of them in the PRG.
02:03Heads full of theories and no idea what they're going to do.
02:04I don't know why them social workers are here.
02:05I don't know why them social workers are here.
02:06Bev's the only one who's meant...
02:07Oh, shut up and keep counting, will you?
02:08Anyway, they're social workers, not shrinks.
02:09Oh, come on.
02:10Better than having someone like the freak.
02:11Talk about having a screw loose.
02:13Well, them buggers couldn't even pull a skin off a rice pudding.
02:16I have to agree with you there, Dot.
02:18We struck a lot of them in the PRG.
02:20Heads full of theories and no idea what was really needed.
02:23Yeah, I got one of them this afternoon.
02:24Made me out to be a real crim and used all these big words like rehabilitation.
02:29Well, I'm not going anywhere, so there's no point in resuscitating me.
02:32You couldn't make it on the outside anyhow.
02:34And get off my bloody feet, will you?
02:36I'm not on them.
02:37Anyway, I wish they'd all bug her off so that we can run the place and do the screws out of a job.
02:40Oh, don't be silly.
02:41In a prison, you need someone telling you what to do and who protected some people like Ben, right?
02:45Well, certainly not the screws.
02:47They put Myra in with her.
02:48Yeah, but...
02:49Then you just ask Rev what it's like to have a shower with the freak.
02:52Oh, come on.
02:53I'm not talking about prison.
02:54Well, why don't you let Myra run the place?
02:57She's top dog.
02:58Oh, come on, will you?
02:59You're as slow as a wet wee.
03:00But look, this is a waltz, not a jitterbug.
03:02Besides, I've got arse right to send me legs.
03:05You ought to go down on your knees and thank God you haven't got my feet in winter.
03:09And besides, me Elsa's starting to play up now.
03:11Started without me, eh?
03:13Was that nice?
03:15Why don't you borrow a clamp for your mouth?
03:18Well, who's the lucky one who'll partner me?
03:22Well, Jude's a bit tired.
03:26I will if you like.
03:27Who leads?
03:28You can if you want.
03:29What was Bobby's present?
03:30Have you given it to her yet?
03:31She got it.
03:32Well, don't keep me in suspense.
03:33What was it?
03:34Let's just say she got exactly what she deserved.
03:39Shut up for a minute, Mark.
03:40Shut up for a minute, Mark.
03:41Shut up.
03:42Shut up.
03:43Shut up.
03:44Shut up.
03:45Shut up.
03:46fellow picketers held rocks and refuse, and the police had difficulty restraining the crowd.
03:59And on the local front, at Westwood Prisoner, the prison will strike the tickets.
04:06Shut up!
04:08Fellow picketers held rocks and refuse, and the police had difficulty restraining the crowd.
04:13You little bugger, I didn't hear a word of that, though I don't know who it was.
04:16It was probably to some guy who had the hots for the women.
04:19Oh, you've got sex on the brain, you know that?
04:21Well, I mean, anybody who breaks into a prisoner needs his head, right?
04:25Ah! G'day, Bill. How's that girlfriend of yours, Laura Nora?
04:29Hey, that's a pretty rough mob you work with, Heather.
04:32Some of the boys were out there today looking after the picket line.
04:35Well, they can't have been doing too good a job to let that bloke break into the prison.
04:37Pipe down, Pipsqueak. Do you know who it was?
04:40No idea. I tell you what, though, I hope it's over with soon. I have to be there tomorrow.
04:43Didn't they say what he looked like?
04:45One of the blokes thought he was a pom.
04:46Did he have I Love Heather tattooed on his forehead?
04:49Was the name Dennis Crookshank mentioned?
04:51Crookshank? Yeah, that rings a bit of a bell.
04:54Damn it.
04:56Today is all tomorrow in the world.
04:59I wish we had a real boring practice in.
05:01Dot doesn't complain about accords.
05:03Jude's pacemaker keeps time to the music.
05:05Oh, you should have been there.
05:07Wreck off, would you?
05:08It was such a hoot.
05:09I nearly died when Bev joined in.
05:11Will you get out of here? You've got a mouth like Port Phillip Bay.
05:14Look, mate, this world's night is going to put Wentworth women on the map.
05:17We'll be stars!
05:19What was the prize?
05:21Bev told me she gave it to you. What was it?
05:27Bobby, what happened?
05:28You wanted to see the prize? Well, here it is.
05:30You don't mean Bev.
05:32Oh, who else?
05:33She surrounded me with her mates so I couldn't escape.
05:36First she undid me bandages and then she took out this razor blade.
05:40She kept looking at me with a creepy smile.
05:43Then she opened up me gut.
05:46No, Bobby, no.
05:47It's bloody terrific, isn't it?
05:49We're the ones in here because we're a danger and we need protection with her around.
05:53You've got to get to the hospital. You've got to have them seen to.
05:56I'm not going anywhere.
05:57You might be waiting for me.
05:58But you've got to do something about them.
06:00Forget it, will ya?
06:02I'm getting Mara. She'll know what to do.
06:09Thank God for late night shopping.
06:11What? Oh, yes, of course. No reporters, eh?
06:13Yeah, I think they all disappear when the sun goes down.
06:15Funny, I thought it would be the other way around.
06:17You all around?
06:18Yes, of course.
06:19Well, no, I'm not really.
06:21Oh, look, you shouldn't be up. You should have stayed indeed.
06:23No, stop panicking. I'm all right.
06:24It's just that we've had a visitor and...
06:26Well, come and have a look.
06:27Shane!
06:28He arrived just before you did, so we didn't have time to introduce ourselves, did we, young fellow?
06:33Didn't have to. I know you are. You're her dad, right?
06:36Yes, but how...
06:37Shane, what are you doing?
06:38I saw your photo over there. She talks all about ya.
06:40I see.
06:41Shane, what are you doing here?
06:43You know the court said you have to stay with your father.
06:46He just went off for a shooting for a couple of days, so he came here.
06:49Oh, that man is not a father's bootlace, the animal.
06:52Take it easy, Jo, not in front of the boy.
06:54This could prejudice the case if the father finds out the boy's been here.
06:57On the other hand, if he has left the boy alone, it could look very bad for him in court.
07:02Just think about that.
07:03Does that mean I can stay with you, Ernie Jones?
07:05Yeah.
07:06Yes, I suppose it does.
07:09One, two, three. One, two, three.
07:12Lead with your right foot, Jacko.
07:14No, your right foot, silly.
07:16Lorna, you look as arthritic as I feel.
07:20Now, oh, look at Bev. She's got the right idea.
07:23Bitch. It treats us all like laboratory rats waiting to be dissected.
07:28Jude, it's gone far enough and she's got to be stopped.
07:30Now, you check on Bobby.
07:31No, no.
07:32Go on. I know what I'm doing.
07:34You sadistic bitch.
07:47This is like some Sunday afternoon picnic to you, isn't it?
07:51Just goes to show, when people lose their temper, they lose control.
08:00It was just a bit of fun.
08:02What's the hassle?
08:03She didn't have to buy a ticket.
08:05I suppose you're going to tell me there was an official from the state lottery department there.
08:09No.
08:10No.
08:11No, that's my job.
08:13It makes it more fun.
08:16You're next time, Baker.
08:18You pick on me.
08:20I'll really show you what fun means.
08:24Oh, no.
08:25Not yet.
08:27I always leave the best to last.
08:30I wish I'd known this was going to happen.
08:40I didn't bring my toothbrush.
08:42Well, Wentworth's hardly forced our accommodation,
08:44but I think it'd be dangerous for you to try and get to the picket line again.
08:47No.
08:48It's queer, isn't it?
08:49I grew up with unions in my blood.
08:51You try and do the right thing and they're down on you like a ton of bricks.
08:53Trying to do the right thing in this society could drive you mad.
08:56It's a no-win situation.
08:57Oh, I don't know.
08:58You seem to be doing all right.
08:59I have my moments.
09:01Now, the only place for you and the social workers to sleep
09:04is the isolation block, I'm afraid.
09:06I'm sorry, but the union would find that very fitting.
09:10Myra Desmond, Mrs Reynolds.
09:12Oh, thank you, Mrs Frawley.
09:13Would you mind waiting outside?
09:14Oh, yes.
09:17These social workers, they don't even know the way to your office.
09:20Great time for them to be here.
09:21It was them or the police, so consider yourselves lucky.
09:23At least the cops didn't come down in the last shower.
09:26They are trying to do a job in a very difficult situation.
09:29Many of them have to sleep here, so I think...
09:31Oh, the poor things. How awful for them.
09:33If they had to share a cell with that psychopath, Baker, they'd know what difficult was.
09:37Mrs Reynolds, something has to be done.
09:39Myra, I want to do something, but nothing has been reported to you.
09:42Oh, come on. You'd have to walk around here with your eyes closed to believe that she's...
09:45She is terrorising the women. She is hurting them.
09:48Bobby, are you saying Baker did that?
09:50Come on, that's lagging and you know it.
09:53All I'm asking is can she be moved to isolation?
09:56No. Mr Crookshank and the social workers have to sleep there.
10:00Something has to be done.
10:02Has she threatened you?
10:04I'll have her move to a single cell.
10:07Fine, that's great for me, but what about the other women?
10:10Look, a lot can happen before lock-up. She is on the prowl all day.
10:14Myra, you don't understand.
10:16Of course I could report to the department and request a psychiatric re-evaluation,
10:20and if that didn't work, I could even have her transferred to Blackmore.
10:23But not without evidence, and you are the only person who can supply that.
10:28Is Baker responsible for Bobby?
10:31If I lagged Mrs Reynolds, the women would sack me in a minute,
10:35and then who would look after them? You?
10:38If they let me...
10:40No.
10:41Look, I'm sorry, I know you're doing your best, but it is not good enough.
10:47I know sister said that Bobby's all right, but what's Biv gonna do next?
10:51I don't know, love. Wait till Myra comes back. She'll know what to do.
10:55All right, who pinched me number three?
10:57You what? Me knitting needles.
10:59How would I know? And shut up, will you? We're watching the telly.
11:02Oh.
11:03Dot, you're off to hospital tomorrow for more tests, so make sure you're ready, won't you?
11:07Oh, blow that. Someone's pinched me number three.
11:09Anyway, it's me arthritis that's a real worry. No hospital can cure that.
11:13Oh, come on, Dot. It also can be dangerous. Don't you think it's a good idea, you have it looked at?
11:17Why don't you just admit you're too scared to go to hospital?
11:19Oh, doctors are all quacks anyway. Just because in hospital doesn't make any difference.
11:24All right, I'll be ready.
11:26All right.
11:27Okay, Baker, collect your things together. We're moving you to another dorm.
11:32You hear that, Judy?
11:34Your mate, Myra, is trying to get rid of me.
11:38No, that's not nice, is it?
11:40Still, a bit of a challenge. Pathetic as it is.
11:44Makes for more fun.
11:46It's true. Just see the look on her face. I'll be sticking to you like glue, Jude, if that's all right.
11:59Yeah, sure. I reckon two minds are better than one.
12:03It's not our minds I'm worried about. It's our bodies.
12:14Let me wash your cup for you, Aunty Jane.
12:16Ah, it's all right. Shouldn't you be cleaning your teeth and going off to bed?
12:19But I want to clean up first. You must be tired.
12:22Ah, it's all right. The dishes can wait till the morning.
12:25Well, that's what Dad said. Except they never got done.
12:29All right.
12:31You're not bad for a rough-headed kid, are you?
12:34I think I might have to raise your pocket money.
12:36Ace!
12:38Oh, but can you afford it? Well, now that...
12:42Oh, look, it'll be a long time before we're on bread and water, mate.
12:47I'll get it.
12:49Hello?
12:52Hello?
12:55Hello?
12:56Who is this?
12:59Who was it, Aunty Jane?
13:03He didn't say, but then that type never does.
13:07Obviously, he didn't like me.
13:08Yeah, but did you hear what he said?
13:10I would have given him heat.
13:12Yeah, well, I think it's time you hit the hay, mate.
13:16All right.
13:17Good night.
13:18Good night.
13:19Good night.
13:33Good night.
13:35room on my own. Think you can live without me? Looks like I'll have to, won't I? Why?
13:42Why'd you do it? You're not scared, are you? No, I'm not scared of you, Baker. But I'm
13:48warning you, this is only the beginning. Now, you pick on kids like Bobby and Marlene. That's
13:53just not on. I take my pleasure where I find it. Whether they're kids or not doesn't matter
13:59to me. But it's a pity, because all the rest were wimps, Myra. Been a change going after
14:06someone I admire. We'll just have to get rid of you once and for all, won't we? I'll have
14:11no shortage of helpers. Right, Becky. Got your things? I'll take you to your new cell. Oh.
14:18You've brought an assistant, Mr. Crookshank. Has my fame preceded me? Or is this a prison
14:25groupie? Don't worry, Myra. We won't be parted for long.
14:43Told the sister that me cut's open when I was doing exercise. I reckon she was a wake-up.
14:49Don't know why I didn't tell her what really happened. It'd be lagging, wouldn't it?
14:52The no lagging rule's bloody stupid if it means we've got to protect Bev Baker after
14:55what she's done.
15:03You're going to be able to sleep all right? How can I bloody sleep when I know there's
15:06a maniac out there somewhere? I'm going to croak. We all are. It's just a matter of time.
15:13Look, she's a bit weird. She's got a few... A bit weird? She sliced up all those people
15:17piece by piece. That was before, but... She's just mucking around with us. She can kill
15:23us any time she wants to and she's going to. We're stuck in this rotten place and there's
15:26not a thing we can do about it. Well, we can always go to the screws.
15:30Don't be bloody stupid. What screw can watch anyone 24 hours a day? Besides, with this stupid
15:36strike on, there's not even a decent screw to go to.
15:38I'm scared. I don't want to sleep by myself. Because I'm...
15:49The boy obviously likes it here. Yeah, that's not surprising. It's any real home he's ever
16:04had. I hope you don't mind his being here. He's not exactly the most relaxing person
16:10to be around. Quite the opposite. When you get to my age, you play tricks on yourself.
16:14You know, if things had been a little different, he could be my grandson.
16:20Any new developments at Wentworth? Not that I know of. Then, frankly, I'd rather forget
16:27that that place ever existed. But you can't. You never will.
16:30Oh, I don't know. Find ways to occupy myself. There's one thing about unemployment, Father.
16:36The hours are very good. But there's no peace here. The phone, reporters, they never give
16:40up. It's typical of that scum, isn't it? Then I suggest that we get out of the house
16:45and forget all about them. What do you say? But what if things change at Wentworth?
16:49I thought you were going to forget the place. Well, I must admit, I don't like Shane hearing
16:55all these things. But where would we go? Two battle-fatigued adults and a small boy?
17:00I recommend a day of fishing. Oh, don't be ridiculous. He can't sit still
17:03for more than two minutes. Well, neither can you. It'll be an adventure.
17:06All right. But you'd better catch some fish so there's food for dinner.
17:10Hi. Hello there.
17:11Any more weird eyes called? No. And before they do, we're all going out.
17:15Your Auntie Joan, too. We're going somewhere you've never been before.
17:19Beauty? Where?
17:21You sure you don't want to stop by the house? I don't mind lending you something.
17:25As long as you have a drive cleaned afterwards.
17:27What's the point? Doctors always make you take everything off.
17:31No one couldn't get down to the bank yesterday. Thought I'd slip in down there while you were
17:35having your test done. Gonna leave me with them quacks?
17:39Maybe if there's something really wrong with you, they'll let you out. Did you think of that?
17:43No, and I don't want to. I was paroled once. It was awful. Couldn't get back inside
17:47again quick enough. Back into prison? Good Lord, well, what's the matter with you?
17:53You sound like some senile old...
17:56How old are you, Doctor? I'm as old as I fit, so never you might.
18:03Thanks to you, I'm going to be late for school.
18:06What the hell do you think you're doing? What does it look like, stupid?
18:09It's a strikeover. It isn't, is it?
18:12They'll kill you, Heather.
18:13Look, they don't understand how much we're needed in there. The place must be in chaos.
18:18Admit it. You're only doing it for that pommy boyfriend of yours.
18:21I am not. It's got nothing to do with him.
18:24Bulldust.
18:25Suit yourself.
18:26You're a sucker. You want to see him again. That's the only reason you're doing it.
18:29I'm doing it because I want to. And no crummy union or snotty-nosed little brother is going to stop me.
18:39She's staying away from the prince. She's not trying to take over from Mark.
18:42Just because she's not going for Top Dog doesn't mean she's normal.
18:46She's sick with the capital A's.
18:48Anyone who can't hurt her for the first time.
18:51There goes a neighborhood.
18:53Shh.
18:54Always try and be friendly.
18:56Act nice.
18:56A leader's friendly and nice kitchen.
18:59The owner finishing school live and we do a security and that's enough to finish anyone off.
19:02Right, ladies. It's numbers time.
19:06Come on, Bobby.
19:07You can't win the consolation prize twice in a row.
19:10It's against the rules.
19:11I don't think I want to. I can't afford it.
19:16Really?
19:18Maybe I will then. I could do with the fire.
19:21Good girl.
19:22Thinking like a winner.
19:23It's the losers we're worried about.
19:25Right, girls?
19:27Well, if that's all you're worried about, there's only one chance in 30 you win the consolation prize.
19:32So come on, ladies.
19:34Oh, if you don't have the money on you, I could visit your cell as after work.
19:37You.
19:37Do you have something to say, Judy?
19:43Myra will look after you.
19:45There are some things even the great Myra can't look after.
19:48How many numbers for you?
19:51None.
19:53Could be fun.
19:55I said none.
19:56Okay.
19:57Okay.
19:58Heavens.
19:59Anyone would think I was forcing you to play.
20:02Like I said, it's just a bit of fun.
20:03This is better than being inside, isn't it?
20:09Anything's better than being inside.
20:10Miss Keen, your brother's waiting to see you.
20:13My brother?
20:14Yes.
20:15Is there anything you want?
20:16You look a bit pale.
20:17No, no, I wasn't expecting him, that's all.
20:21Good.
20:21Maybe he'll brighten you up.
20:22You've been by yourself for too long.
20:24G'day, Rebecca.
20:27G'day.
20:28What if I take her for a spin?
20:30No.
20:30But don't go over 60.
20:32Pettic Leeson, Herald Examiner.
20:35Bloody idiot.
20:36My brother's dead.
20:37I wanted a follow-up on the Ferguson story.
20:39Yes, so do I.
20:41Losing her job wasn't good enough.
20:43Okay.
20:44Maybe with some more information we can do something about it.
20:46Feel up to it?
20:48No, I don't know.
20:49Not exactly my favourite topic of conversation.
20:52Bashing would just seem to go on forever.
20:55That bitch, she just stood in the doorway the whole time.
20:57She wouldn't even...
20:58The whole time?
20:59Wasn't she the one doing the bashing?
21:02Look, I didn't do this to myself, did I?
21:05Told you I didn't want to think about it.
21:08I'm getting confused.
21:11I know you're shaking up, but if you could go through it one more time, I'd like to do
21:15another story.
21:17Look, it's too soon.
21:19Just five minutes.
21:20I said no.
21:22Look, it's fine for you.
21:23I'm the one who has to live with the bruises.
21:25You've had your Barry meal?
21:31Yeah, I thought the food in Wentworth was bad enough.
21:33You'll have you out of here in your time.
21:35The nurse will attend to you in a few minutes.
21:37Just as well I brought me crossword puzzle.
21:39Last time I was here the whole afternoon, just waiting a few minutes.
21:42Don't be rude to the doctor, dear.
21:44Now, I'll rush off to the bank, and I'll be back before you can say Jack Robinson.
21:48I was wondering where we were going to see you.
22:15There's some signs over there by my car.
22:17I'm going to work, Joyce.
22:19Heather, you can't.
22:21I don't like doing this either, but we've got no choice.
22:23The union's got an observer here.
22:25They need us in there.
22:27I owe it to Mrs. Reynolds.
22:28You owe it to yourself, my dear.
22:30They'll blacklist you.
22:31If you had transfer brains, you wouldn't win a trick.
22:33Put your car in reverse and get out of here.
22:35No way, Bill.
22:36I've got a right to work.
22:38This prison's been declared black, you scab.
22:41Don't be stupid, Heather.
22:42You've got to join us.
22:43How am I supposed to protect you from all this?
22:45Grim lover.
22:46Heather, get back in the car and go home.
22:48No way, Bill.
22:49Open the gate.
22:52If you take another step, it'll get worse.
22:54Now bugger off, will you?
22:55Take her off.
22:57Oh, God.
22:59You idiots.
23:00Heather, Heather, are you all right?
23:02You're so bloody stubborn.
23:04They do it to Tom before they kill you.
23:06No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
23:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
23:21Typical.
23:22Probably telling a bank terror life story.
23:24The bossier they are, the less you can depend on them keeping appointments.
23:28You can have a read of my paper if you like.
23:30Oh, no thanks. I keep away from newspapers.
23:32Too depressing reading all that Holocaust stuff.
23:35My name's Judy Rankin.
23:37Oh, got a mate, Judy.
23:38Best one I ever shared with.
23:40I'm Dot, Dot Farrah.
23:41I always shared with a girlfriend before I got married.
23:44Is yours a flat or a house?
23:46Oh, prison, Wentworth. Ever heard of it?
23:48Oh, it seems to be out of the news these days, does it?
23:51How long you been there, Dot?
23:53Oh, God, donkey's years.
23:55Oh, I bet you can't wait to get out.
23:57I'm out already, aren't I?
23:58Nobody seems to notice.
23:59This sick woman waiting around these draughty hospitals.
24:03Well, you can't have done too much wrong
24:04or they wouldn't be letting you out like this.
24:06Oh, I'm mad at me boyfriend.
24:17That's got sick of waiting.
24:19I can't side-blame them.
24:23Why all those creeps, Pester and Aunty Jo?
24:26Shh, you'll scare the fish.
24:28What fish?
24:28If there was any, we would have heard from them by now.
24:32Patience, young man.
24:34Enjoy the peace and quiet and the fresh air.
24:38Fishing's supposed to be relaxing.
24:40Yeah, well, I reckon the fish are relaxing.
24:42That's for sure.
24:43You still haven't answered me question.
24:46Well, your Aunty Jo sometimes,
24:47who's most of the time, takes her work too seriously.
24:52And that often offends people.
24:56But why did she get the bullet?
24:57Oh, questions, questions.
24:58You are an inquisitive young man, aren't you?
25:01Hey, mage, I think I got something.
25:02Oh, good man.
25:03Right, bring it in.
25:04Keep rolling.
25:05That's right.
25:05Now, keep that line tight.
25:07Otherwise, you'll lose it.
25:08Bring it up on the ground here.
25:09That's right.
25:10Right down there.
25:10Oh, good man.
25:12Oh, what a beauty.
25:14I'll go get Aunty.
25:19No, no, no, no, no, no.
25:20She's got enough worries.
25:21But she knows what to do.
25:22She always does.
25:23No, no, you stay here.
25:25A couple of deep breaths and I'll feel better.
25:36Nothing to worry about.
25:38Now, I need a favor.
25:41I want this to be our little secret.
25:43Right?
25:47Okay.
25:48Good man.
25:50Now, go and tell Aunty Joan to bring the camera over.
25:52We'll take a photo of this.
25:55Nobody believed I had a duodental.
25:58Now I've got to wait here and paint for that Gladys to turn up.
26:00This guy's like an old boot.
26:02Oh, I'm sure she'll turn up.
26:03Anyway, the medication will fix you up in no time.
26:05What's she in for?
26:06Oh, I come in first for hysterectomy.
26:08Then they discovered bladder trouble.
26:10They ended up taking it all out.
26:11Now they think I've got a little infection.
26:13I'm sure you're in very good hands.
26:15It looks like my lift isn't turning up.
26:17Nice meeting you.
26:19Better get out of here before I catch something.
26:22Two parts oil, one part lemon.
26:23That's right, Pam.
26:25Add just a ditch of sugar.
26:26It takes out the acid.
26:28Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, there will be no sugar added to anything while I'm in charge.
26:32Don't you realize how dangerous sugar can be?
26:35Do you know some of the most serious crimes have been committed because of an excess of sugar?
26:39I think she needs an extra sprinkle.
26:42Look, I did my thesis on this very subject.
26:44Oh, it's all very fascinating, dolls.
26:47But I think you should stick to your social work and I'll run the kitchen, okay?
26:51Just a dash of mustard.
26:53I don't know why I waste my time with you lot.
26:56You're supposed to add the mustard a little at a time.
26:59Oh, look here, give it to me.
27:00Hey, come on.
27:00Oh, oh, oh.
27:01Heavens, heavens, heavens.
27:03Cinderella won't be able to go to the ball now, will she?
27:06I've had enough insults from you and your lot.
27:08You did it deliberately.
27:10Well, let's see what the governor has to say about this.
27:13Oh.
27:14Oh.
27:15Ah, congratulations.
27:18With any luck, we won't have to see her anymore.
27:21I just wish I'd done it deliberately.
27:22I would have enjoyed it.
27:23Now, that's two parts oil, one part lemon.
27:27Oh, thank you.
27:28Oh, I'm here to pick up Dr. Farrah.
27:37Do you know how long she'll be?
27:40She was finished about 20 minutes ago.
27:43But you can't have finished the test so quickly.
27:45An ulcer is an ulcer.
27:47It didn't take long to diagnose.
27:49Well, she's a prisoner.
27:50She's got to be guarded.
27:52Where would she have gone?
27:53I don't know.
27:54Isn't that your responsibility?
27:57She left.
27:57I don't think she was very happy with you.
28:01How could you let her just walk out of here?
28:03She's a criminal.
28:27I don't know what the world's coming to.
28:41In my day, young people wouldn't even.
28:43Our lady's standing by the place.
28:44It's not my fault.
28:46I don't know what the world's coming to.
28:49I don't know.
28:50I don't know.
28:51We're on the road.
28:52I don't know.
28:52I don't know.
28:52I don't know.
28:53I don't know.
28:54I don't know.
28:54I don't know.
28:55I can't get along with most of them, but I can't get along with the most of them.
29:25But she really got up my nose. She doesn't know the first thing about cooking.
29:29And excuse me, I think I've picked up a few things along the way.
29:32She wouldn't know if a blue cheese dressing will lift up and beat her.
29:35I'll have you know I'm an excellent chef as well as a briglan scholar and I demand you treat me with the respect I deserve.
29:40That's enough, you two.
29:41The two of them ganged up on me. That's why she threw the dressing over me. They were trying to make me look a fool.
29:46Did you do it deliberately?
29:47I wouldn't waste a good salad dressing.
29:48See what I mean? She should be put on a charge.
29:50There will be no charge.
29:52Why?
29:52Because I don't believe any malice was intended.
29:55We'll talk about it later. Return to your duties.
29:57Goodbye.
29:59Anne Reynolds.
30:01Slow down, Gladys. You're not making any sense.
30:05Oh, I just don't believe she planned it.
30:07She could be lost.
30:09It is up to you to find her.
30:11Now calm down and call me back when you're quite sure she's left the hospital.
30:15I'm not calling the police till then.
30:18Damn.
30:18What's wrong?
30:19Dot Farrah is missing.
30:21What?
30:22Gladys has lost her.
30:24What else can go wrong?
30:32Okay, I'm only warning you once.
30:34I had extra sugar in my coffee.
30:35I could turn nasty.
30:36Cut it out.
30:38Yeah, you better be nice to her.
30:39She'll spill salad dressing on you.
30:40Oh, stop it.
30:41Okay, ladies, it's lottery time.
30:45What's the first prize?
30:46Vipers or whips?
30:47Just a fiver.
30:49You're such a killjoy, Myra.
30:51Now, who wants to make the lucky dip?
30:54Oh.
30:54And it's your lucky day, Bobby.
31:01Here, five dollars.
31:03Terrific.
31:04I hope I live long enough to spend it.
31:06Well, who wants to draw the second prize?
31:09That's it, Baker.
31:11No second prize.
31:21She really knows how to make you sweat, doesn't she?
31:25Well, maybe she's run out of kinky ideas.
31:27Oh, don't you bet on it.
31:28She'll be back.
31:30I think maybe we should have a little talk with her.
31:33Talking is not going to help.
31:36She has to be stopped.
31:38Really stopped.
31:40Now, you sure this is where you want to go, lady?
31:41I'm not sure.
31:42I'm sure.
31:42How much?
31:44$32 worth, be exact.
31:45I told you I wanted the scenic route, not a half share in your taxi.
31:50It looks like a demo.
31:51Look, I might drop you here like this, all right?
31:52It certainly is, isn't it?
31:53That's my home through there.
31:54You drive me right up to the front door.
31:56That's no door, sweetheart.
31:57That's a prison gate.
31:58The prison officers are on strike.
32:00The prison.
32:01We're on strike.
32:03Prison's been black banned.
32:04You can't go in there.
32:05That's what you think.
32:06I just got out of the hospital and I want to go home.
32:09Drive on.
32:09No way, lady.
32:10We wouldn't make it through.
32:11Look, just pay the rent and let me get out of here.
32:12You should.
32:13No fear, but I'll get $32.
32:14I just thought I'd bring you the good news.
32:43The consolation prize.
32:46What are you talking about?
32:47You're not going to buy a ticket.
32:49I didn't want you to miss out.
32:51So I bought you one.
32:52Ma is not going to like this.
32:54No.
33:04Judy.
33:07Wake up.
33:08It's more.
33:14Damn.
33:19With your power of attorney, I could put that money into top-yielding securities.
33:22I can handle money when I've got it.
33:26What's the matter?
33:27Didn't he leave you enough of your own to play around with?
33:29All right.
33:32I'm ashamed to tell you this, but I've got to talk to someone.
33:37I owe a lot of money and I don't know how I'm going to pay.
33:41Well, well, well.
33:42The truth's finally risen.
33:44Oh, don't be so smug, Rebecca.
33:45I lost it at the races and now they're pressing me to pay.
33:53I was taught ladies didn't partake in gambling.
33:57We had friends with horses.
34:00It would have been embarrassing not to be on their tips.
34:04Why don't you hock the jewellery or that fur?
34:06The jewellery went ages ago.
34:10I replaced the pieces with paste.
34:12Your father didn't notice the difference.
34:15And the fur?
34:17The fur stays.
34:18It's the only thing that's properly paid for.
34:21Besides, it wouldn't be enough.
34:23How much do you owe?
34:28Fifty thousand or so.
34:36Isn't it simple?
34:39We've each got what the other needs.
34:42Money and freedom.
34:44What are you getting at?
34:47You help me get out.
34:49And I'll help you.
34:51But Rebecca, what if I got caught?
34:55I think I'd die in prison, Rebecca.
34:57I can't.
34:57You don't know what I've been going through all these years.
35:00Anyway, it wouldn't come to that.
35:02But if it did, look at it this way.
35:06You'd be reuniting the family.
35:08It's what you've always wanted, isn't it?
35:13Sorry, love it.
35:14Look, water is not enough.
35:15You're going to have to see the sister.
35:18There's not even a screw in this place to protect us anymore.
35:21I'm scared, Myra.
35:22Yeah, I know.
35:23We're all running scared.
35:24Who wouldn't be with a psycho running loose in the place?
35:27She's going to have to be stopped.
35:28Well, that's not going to be easy, is it?
35:30She's as strong as a bull.
35:32Lou and Frances and Alice, they're no jelly babies.
35:36Look, you're going to have to go to the sick bay.
35:42Why don't you get a sedative?
35:44A big one.
35:46Bev could use it.
35:46Yeah, sure.
35:59A couple of sleeping pills I pinched when the nurse wasn't looking.
36:02Take a big sleeping pill to knock her out.
36:05And here's a couple of painkillers that I neglected to take.
36:08Oh, I wish I'd thought of that.
36:09Then we could have given her a double dose.
36:11Well, the least they'll do is make her a bit groggy.
36:13How do we get them down her throat, though?
36:16Marlene, how about you?
36:18I mean, you're friendly with everyone.
36:19Are you kidding?
36:21This is me, remember?
36:22Okay, girls, go and get your meal, eh?
36:29Come on, love.
36:30You're the only hope we've got.
36:31Well, louse it up.
36:32You know I will.
36:33I don't call me bunny brain for nothing.
36:35Marlene, you're the only person here who has any friendly connection with her at all.
36:40Even so, you're dancing with her.
36:41Oh, Jude.
36:41Come on, Marl.
36:42You could make friends with Attila the Hull if you wanted.
36:44Yeah, well, I can't stand pain like you and Jude can.
36:47I can't hack that sort of stuff.
36:48Come on, that's exactly what we're trying to protect you from.
36:51Now, we can't get anywhere near her.
36:53She'd be too suspicious.
36:55I would do it if I could.
36:57It all depends on you, love.
37:01But it's a jungle out there.
37:02I could have been run over a thousand times.
37:05If you'd just stayed put, you could have avoided a panic and a very expensive taxi fare.
37:09Oh, I'd just slip out for a few minutes to see the bank manager.
37:13Why didn't you call us before you left the hospital?
37:15I don't phone myself, do I?
37:17Don't know the number.
37:18You could have used the phone book.
37:20That's what you know.
37:21I wasn't exactly carrying a lot of cash.
37:23Where were you, Mrs. Frawley?
37:24I had a small matter to attend to with the bank manager.
37:27I had no idea he considered such a...
37:28You realise, of course, that Farrer is a prisoner and you had no right to leave her alone.
37:33Well, they assured me the test would take forever.
37:35With all my responsibilities here, heaven knows when I would have got to the bank.
37:38And heaven knows what had happened to me trying to get back here.
37:41Wait outside, Dot.
37:43And if ever you wander off again, you'll be treated as an escaped prisoner and put in solitary.
37:47Do you understand?
37:47I never wanted to go to that place anyway.
37:49Anyway.
37:53Well, I think you realise what you did wrong.
37:56Please don't let it happen again.
38:06Oh, g'day.
38:09To what do I owe this honour?
38:11Oh, I just thought we should be mates.
38:14Thought maybe I could do a few things for you.
38:17What assistance could I possibly get from you?
38:20None.
38:22I suppose.
38:22Tell you the truth, I'm scared to death of you.
38:26And I thought maybe if you got to know me a bit better, then you just might leave me alone.
38:30That's the most honest thing I've heard since I moved in.
38:33Yeah.
38:33Great.
38:34Well, I've poured us both a cup of tea.
38:35I'll just get it.
38:36We'll have a toast.
38:39As soon as she starts getting groggy, we'll get her into her cell.
38:42I wish Lizzie said it could get her really groggy.
38:44Well, it's not exactly like Mum used to make, but at least it's drinkable if you get to the urn early enough.
38:59You know, before I come here, I think everyone in the world made a better cup of tea than me.
39:03You'll miss your family.
39:06Oh, dear.
39:07I know you meant well, but I really don't like this much milk.
39:11Good for you.
39:13Milk's good for young calves, but I don't like it.
39:16You've got no objections to switching, have you?
39:19No, I thought not.
39:20Mmm.
39:21Much better.
39:23Well, bottoms up.
39:24Well, I get edgy if I drink alone.
39:26You wouldn't want that, would you?
39:29Well, at least she has the sense to put herself with a cab.
39:32Yes, I felt like telling Gladys to pay for it out of her wages.
39:35Hmm.
39:35Mrs. Reynolds, I'd like you to meet your latest staff member, Rob Subberton.
39:40We went to uni together.
39:41Rob's kindly volunteered to take over my night shifts, if that's all right.
39:45Of course.
39:45Welcome, Mr. Subberton.
39:46Thanks for helping us out.
39:47Oh, actually, I'm grateful for the opportunity.
39:49I mean, I've worked in a halfway house, but I've always wanted to see the other side, you know,
39:53where and what my clients have come from.
39:54Good.
39:55I'll get Mr. Crookshank to show you around and introduce you to some of the women.
39:58Oh, I'll do it.
39:59There are a few I need to fill him in on.
40:01Well, I'm looking forward to meeting them all.
40:02Well, to tell you the truth, I have an ulterior motive for doing the night shift.
40:07My wife has just given birth to twin daughters.
40:09So I've given up trying to sleep at night.
40:11Actually, I've got some photographs here.
40:12Oh, not now.
40:13Come on, I've got to get going.
40:14Oh, righto.
40:14Okay.
40:15Some other time.
40:18Well, well, well.
40:19Best hope for the department yet.
40:20He almost seems normal.
40:22Oh, I was that close to death out there.
40:25Makes you realise just how vulnerable you are as a human being.
40:28If I hadn't had my wits about me, Lord knows what those picketers would have done.
40:31Yeah, I'd rather have a blue with them than Bev any day.
40:34I don't know.
40:35Oh, g'day, Mrs. Sprawley.
40:36Look, I've got this really bad gut ache.
40:38Do you reckon you could organise for me to go to the hospital tomorrow?
40:41Ladies, I'd like you to meet a new member of the staff, Mr. Somerton.
40:45Oh, Rob will do.
40:46Hi, Rob.
40:46Hi, Rob.
40:47He's kindly offered to help us out, so do co-operate.
40:52I'll leave you to them.
40:54I'd rather get back to the cells by nine.
40:58Hi.
40:59You care for a game or something?
41:01Oh, why not?
41:02I've been finishing my knitting, only somebody pinched me number three.
41:06Oh, my name's Dr. Farrah.
41:07Oh, hi.
41:07G'day, I'm Bobby.
41:10Do you want to play, too?
41:11Oh, as long as it's not one of those old fogies games.
41:13What, like bridge?
41:15The only bridge I know is the one over this Sydney house.
41:17Oh, me, too.
41:18Until I came here, I thought Rummy was a wino.
41:21Well, so far, so good.
41:22No sign of Marty not, Bev.
41:23That's exactly what worries me.
41:25Marlene was supposed to meet us after tea.
41:27Well, she's probably just waiting until the pills take effect.
41:30I don't like her, Jude.
41:31She shouldn't be on her own with Bev.
41:33You're probably right, mate.
41:34Let's see.
41:35Join you for a game in a minute, Rob.
41:37We're just going to the loo.
41:38Take your time.
41:38I'm winning.
41:39Oh, well, don't take too long.
41:40It's not long to lock up.
41:41Oh, just when I was beginning to like you, too.
41:45Bev's not in herself.
41:46Oh, Marlene's in here.
41:48Marlene?
41:49Marlene!
41:50Come on.
41:51She's too smart for me.
41:53She changed over the cups.
41:55Oh, damn.
41:57Now it's going to be harder than ever.
42:00Oh, hi.
42:02I'm Rob Summitt.
42:04How come we didn't meet in the rec room?
42:06Let's just say I don't like crowds.
42:08Especially that crowd.
42:10Oh, well, that's going to be nice enough, Bunch.
42:11Actually, once they got me going and my kids, I couldn't stop.
42:13Oh, dear.
42:14Oh, my God.
42:44Oh, my God.
43:15Last night I dreamed we were together
43:19Sharing all the love we'd known
43:25Till I had to face the nightmare
43:30Awaken up alone
43:34On the inside the roses glow
43:38They don't mind the stony ground
43:44But the roses here are prisoners too
43:49When morning comes around
43:54Ah, amen
43:55I love you
43:56I love you
43:57I love you
43:58I love you
