00:00Where'd you calm this off? Phil gave it to. Phil, baby, eh? Oh, that's why she wouldn't give it to herself.
00:06He's nice, isn't he, Bobby? He's all right. I reckon you two will be fighting over him soon. Don't blame me, though. He's a spunk.
00:12I'm not interested. Really? Well, why would I be? I mean, we're crims. No one from the outside would want to mix with us.
00:17Yeah, it's not fair, though, is it? I bet I could get him if I wanted to.
00:21I mean, you're wasting your time. He's probably got some unicard, you know, big brains, small boobs, big sunglasses.
00:26Oh, I'll strike out, then. Still recognise we've got him.
00:29You're not giving up. We're just going for a break.
00:32Oh, good for you. They're doing well, aren't they? Nineteen and a half hours, and we're still getting enormous coverage.
00:38Do you hear that, ladies? The public are behind you every step of the way.
00:43I've been speaking to the governor of Blackmore.
00:46She sent me a statement from Mari Winter, which claims that you were in league with her in a drug smuggling racket while she was here,
00:54and also that you helped her escape.
00:59Now, from the evidence brought before the court this day,
01:02it's my decision that Shane Monroe should not be returned to his father.
01:11However, Miss Ferguson,
01:13although I commend you highly for the care you've given Shane,
01:16I must tell you that I feel it's in the boy's best interest that he be made a ward of the state
01:22until suitable foster parents can be found.
01:26Heather, I must know the truth.
01:42Did you help Winter escape?
01:44Of course I didn't.
01:46Can't you see that Winter's just saying that because she...
01:49Well...
01:51All right.
01:54I did bring some drugs in for her, but...
01:56Why? How could you have been so stupid?
01:59Well, I was terrified.
02:01I thought they'd do something to Mark,
02:03my brother.
02:04She said her friends would fix a little accident.
02:07At first, I didn't believe it,
02:09because Mark's a smart kid.
02:10He knows how to look after himself, but...
02:13Well, then, when he was knocked off his bike,
02:15what else could I do?
02:18You should have come to me.
02:20I know, but I pegged.
02:22Well, I knew they'd try it again,
02:25but...
02:26Oh, I must have been mad.
02:28All right, let's deal with what we've got.
02:30What you've done was wrong.
02:32Very wrong.
02:34Now, perhaps I can understand,
02:35but I don't think the department will be so sympathetic.
02:37Well, they do.
02:39It's certainly serious enough for them to bring charges,
02:41and especially if they think you helped Winter escape.
02:46But, Mrs. Reynolds, I didn't do that.
02:48All right, I believe you.
02:49What you have to do is convince head office.
02:52Now, they won't see my report until Monday,
02:53so I suggest in the meantime you get all your facts straight.
02:57But it was so long ago.
02:59They'll want to know all the details, won't they?
03:01I'm afraid so.
03:04There's one thing that still worries me.
03:05Why did Winter take so long to get around to making her accusation?
03:09Be honest with me.
03:11Is there anyone else who might have it in for you?
03:12Someone who could use Winter to get back at you?
03:16Well, you wouldn't have to look very far in this place, would you?
03:20Come on, Jan.
03:21We have to put on a brave front for the boy.
03:23He's a scrappy little lad,
03:24but I think he's going to need our help more than ever after this.
03:27It's just not right, Father.
03:29We could have given him everything if only...
03:31Yes, yes, I know, but it didn't happen that way.
03:34So we have to deal with the situation in hand.
03:37We still can help him, you know.
03:39How?
03:39They're going to put him in a home, an institution.
03:42How can we help him in a place like that?
03:43We have to, because now he's going to need someone more than ever.
03:47I can't pretend to know what it'll be like in a boy's home,
03:49but I'm sure he's going to need someone to visit him, to talk to him.
03:54Someone to love him?
03:55And who's going to do that, Father?
03:57Staff in a boy's home, they're paid a wage,
04:00and love doesn't clock off at five.
04:01Come on, Joan.
04:02You don't want him to see you like this.
04:04I've got permission to bring him out.
04:06Are you all right?
04:06Yes, we'll be fine.
04:07What about the boy?
04:08Trying very hard to be grown up.
04:10He's a tough little bloke, isn't he?
04:12Joan, believe me, I'm very sorry.
04:14I can assure you we...
04:15Jeffrey, no one's blaming you.
04:17But what happens now?
04:19A social worker will be around to collect his things.
04:22He said he left a few of his belongings at your place, so...
04:24Aunty Jane, you said I have to wait out here,
04:28but I want to talk to you.
04:30Can I come out now?
04:31May as well, young fellow.
04:32Come on.
04:34Now, just between you and me,
04:35your Aunty Joan's a bit upset,
04:37so be careful what you're saying.
04:38Don't worry, mate.
04:39Leave it to me.
04:42Oh.
04:43G'day, mate.
04:45It's a bit of a mess back in there, wasn't it?
04:47Yeah.
04:48Not to worry.
04:49I'll be all right.
04:51Yeah, I'm sure you will.
04:53But I'll come and visit you every weekend
04:55just to make sure you're behaving yourself.
04:57Yeah?
04:58Where?
05:00If you want me to.
05:01Yeah, because...
05:03I'm going to miss you.
05:06Are you happy now, Ferguson?
05:08You've made me lose my son.
05:10That's what you're wanting, isn't it?
05:12See you later, mate.
05:13You go with Mr Johnson.
05:14Jane, come on.
05:16Don't ignore me.
05:17Behave yourself, Munro.
05:18Who the hell do you think you are, you silly old mate?
05:20He's a top man in the audience.
05:21Shut up, you little Munro.
05:22I'm still young.
05:23Come on, Shane.
05:27Go away, Munro.
05:28Now, I didn't like what happened in there today.
05:30Oh, is that a...
05:31But at least Shane is rid of you.
05:34Now, maybe he'll have a chance.
05:36Yeah.
05:37I'm real broken up, too.
05:39You can tell me, can't you?
05:40Go away, Munro.
05:41For your own sake, go away.
05:44Come on, you lot.
05:53The eyes of the world, Ron Wentworth.
05:5624 hours down, only another 48 to go.
05:59Come on.
06:00Let's give them a great big hand.
06:01You two should keep your strength up.
06:10I reckon you deserve champagne, meself.
06:12And it's not.
06:14Cheese and bloody gherkin again.
06:15Cheese.
06:16You all right?
06:18Yeah.
06:19I'm just getting my breath back.
06:21How about you?
06:22Buggered my arms.
06:23Feel like they're going to drop off.
06:26G'day, Mr. C.
06:27Save the next dance for you.
06:29Oh, thanks, Alice.
06:30But I've just come to say goodbye.
06:32Oh.
06:33Well, I'll be leaving Wentworth in half an hour.
06:35Just hoping you'd stick around and pick me up off the floor.
06:37Still, I'll be sorry to see you go, won't we, girls?
06:39Yeah.
06:40You'll be back, though.
06:41Well, let's talk to the powers that be.
06:43Leaving this veil of tears.
06:45You're lucky.
06:46Take care of yourself, Mr. C.
06:48Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
06:50Yeah.
06:51It was nice meeting you, Mr. Crookshank.
06:53Always the way, isn't it?
06:54We get a good screw and the department keeps him away from us.
06:58I bet you say that to all the fellas.
07:00No, we're dishonest.
07:01Oh, thanks, Bobby.
07:03You could have been real nasty with me, like them other mums.
07:06Oh, come on.
07:07Forgive and forget, eh?
07:08We're friends now.
07:09If there's anything you'd like me to do for you on the outside...
07:11Well, seeing as we're mates,
07:13do you mind going to see Cass for me sometime?
07:16Well, that could be a bit of a problem.
07:18Yeah, I know.
07:19I just hate thinking of her in that place with all them loonies.
07:23You know.
07:24You just tell me how she's getting along,
07:27how they're treating her.
07:28No-one else is going to tell me, are they?
07:29No, I suppose not.
07:31All right, Bobby, I'll see what I can do.
07:33Thanks, I knew you'd be a sport.
07:36Okay, ladies, break that record for me, won't you?
07:39We will.
07:40I'll be thinking of you.
07:42Cheerio.
07:43Good luck.
07:44Bye.
07:44Good luck.
07:46Bye.
07:52He's a nice bloke, isn't he?
07:54Not bad for a pun.
07:55Just behave yourself, silly-looking thing.
08:01Don't go scratching fleas all over Aunty Joan's carpet.
08:05You look after him, won't you, Aunty Joan?
08:08For me?
08:08I know he eats a lot, but I'll get some dough to you as soon as I can.
08:16Well, I've got a much better idea.
08:19That's up to you, of course, but...
08:21Well, I kind of reckon that Nicky is a real man's dog.
08:26Now, I'm going to be at work all day,
08:28so, um, what do you reckon, Major?
08:31Well, you could be right, but...
08:33I think that Nicky would be much better off with you at Forbes.
08:36Now, when Shane gets settled in a new home,
08:39maybe his new mum and dad won't mind him having a dog.
08:44Well, I think it's a much better idea, don't you?
08:48It's an ace idea.
08:51It's no trouble, Major.
08:53Honest.
08:55What do you reckon?
08:56A splendid idea, my boy.
08:59Plenty of fresh country air, rabbits to chase.
09:02He'd be as happy as Larry.
09:04Terrific.
09:05Will you teach him some army tricks
09:07so I can take him with me when I go into the army?
09:10You've made up your mind, have you?
09:12About the army, I mean.
09:14Hell, yeah.
09:15I'm going to be just like you.
09:19You don't mind, dear?
09:21Young man, I...
09:22I couldn't be happier.
09:24We don't really have to be getting along now, Miss Ferguson.
09:27Say goodbye, Shane.
09:28Damn it, Joan, did you hear that?
09:35He wants to be just like me.
09:38Damn it, Joan, did you hear that?
09:52He wants to be just like me.
09:57Just like me.
09:58I gather to what you were saying to young Shane
10:08that you've decided to stay on it when it works.
10:12Under the circumstances, I think it's best.
10:15This couldn't go away now.
10:17Of course not.
10:18But if, well, if he does find a foster home,
10:23I'd just like to let you know that
10:24should you change your mind,
10:26my offer still stands.
10:28Thanks, I appreciate that.
10:30I'm sure you can understand how I feel.
10:33I just couldn't go up there now without Shane
10:35after all the plans we made.
10:38I know.
10:39It's a damn shame for all of us.
10:41I mean, it'd be like having Nicky around all the time,
10:44reminding me.
10:45I must think I'm pretty weak.
10:48Of course not.
10:50It'll probably be best if you knuckle down to some work.
10:52It can be a consolation sometimes.
10:55Yeah, job's all I've got now.
10:59Unless you'd consider staying on with me.
11:02Oh, it's a nice thought, Joan,
11:04but I think I'd find time hanging pretty heavily in my hands
11:07with you away at work all the time.
11:09Yeah, I suppose so.
11:11Yes, you've got your work at the prison
11:13and I've got my friends at four.
11:15It's pretty important for an old war horse like me.
11:19Yeah, I'm sorry.
11:20It's just that I enjoy having you around so much
11:22I sometimes forget you've got a life of your own delayed.
11:26Not to mention a doctor who'll court-martial me when I get back.
11:29I should have seen him three days ago.
11:31I think I'll start packing when I get home.
11:32But you're all right, aren't you?
11:34Of course I am.
11:35Now, don't you worry.
11:37Look, you just promised me you'll look after yourself.
11:39All right?
11:39Look, you'll be seeing me again, I promise.
11:41And you know you can rely on me.
11:43Yes, I know.
11:43All I can do is try to carry on.
11:46Young Shane did.
11:48Right?
11:48Oh, dude, here you are.
11:53Look, we've got to take over from Myron Angel.
11:55Oh, hang on a minute, love.
11:56This letter was just handed in at reception.
11:59Who's it from?
12:00It's from little Debbie Peters.
12:01Remember her?
12:02She was the one that was frightened of the freak.
12:03Have a look at it.
12:04Mrs. Taylor is bringing us to see the end of the dancing.
12:11And I'm saying a prayer for you all.
12:13Oh, I'm sorry.
12:13Never had anyone say a prayer for me before.
12:16I'm going to get a real buzz out of knowing those kids are there, you know that?
12:19Can't you just see them going crazy?
12:2180 grand.
12:21Jeez, if anyone had given me 80 grand when I was a kid.
12:25Judy, you all right?
12:26Yeah, I just, uh, I just felt a little bit dizzy, that's all.
12:30Hey, it's not your pacemaker gizmo playing up, is it?
12:32Anybody can feel dizzy after a bit of exercise, it's nothing.
12:35Yeah, but it never happens to anybody, it always happens to you.
12:37Well, then it's my bad luck, isn't it?
12:39Well, maybe you should see the doc, he's coming to see us later and you can just tell him.
12:42Now, look, we've got a lot of money we're going to earn for those deaf kids.
12:46You say anything about this and we could blow the whole thing.
12:48Oh, yeah, but what about your...
12:49Barbie!
12:51Drop it, okay?
12:53Come on.
12:56All I know is she came straight in and locked herself in the bedroom.
13:00Now, what's going on, Dennis?
13:02I know you've got something to do with it.
13:04Well, yes, maybe I have, but, uh, well, you know what Heather's like, she takes every little
13:08thing to heart.
13:09It may be a little thing to you, but when a young man behaved that way in my day...
13:14What?
13:16...having a girl staying overnight in his room.
13:18Look, Mrs. Rogers, I don't think it's anything to do with that.
13:21Well, at least he had the decency to make an honest woman of her.
13:23Well, look, I'd love to and maybe I will, he'll be a right champion, but...
13:26No maybes about it.
13:28A gentleman would at least get engaged.
13:31Look, honestly, I don't think it's anything to do with that.
13:34Dennis, I'm the girl's mother.
13:37I know how she thinks.
13:39Oh, I don't know what you young people imagine marriage is all about these days.
13:44But let me tell you, I've had more to it.
13:46Just leave him alone.
13:49It's got nothing to do with Dennis.
13:52Well, how am I supposed to know?
13:53Nobody tells me anything.
13:58I'm going to lose my job, if you must know.
14:05Stop eating our sandwiches, you bloody pig.
14:07They're not yours.
14:08They're myers and angels, and I didn't want them.
14:11Yeah, well, you shouldn't be eating them anyway, should you?
14:13You've got to know, sir.
14:14Oh, bugger me, Althar.
14:15I'm hungry.
14:16I don't like the missing meals.
14:17Do the doctor see them?
14:18No, I think they're just too tired to eat.
14:21Yeah, I didn't like the way the doctor looked at Judy.
14:24I'm not surprised.
14:24In fact, they all look as though they were ready for the script.
14:26Oh, you stupid bitch.
14:27Oh, me ankle.
14:29Oh, I'm twisting the ankle.
14:30Sorry, I was just resting.
14:34Get Myra.
14:35Get Angel.
14:37No, I won't allow that.
14:38They're resting.
14:39But we'll break the rules.
14:40We'll be stuffed if you don't get them.
14:42No, we won't.
14:42There's a rule that allows for the subject to remember.
14:45You dance with that one.
14:46What are you doing?
14:47Oh, my God.
14:48Shut up and keep dancing.
14:49I'll leave.
14:50Okay, love.
14:52I know Winter was a nasty piece of work.
14:55But surely you must have realised getting involved with...
14:57I knew I was putting my head in a nurse bringing the drugs here, but...
15:02What else could I do?
15:04I don't know.
15:05I wish you'd come to me, though.
15:07I'm pretty sure Ferguson's behind it.
15:09I didn't even realise.
15:13God.
15:14She'd been there a day.
15:15I'd have smashed her face in.
15:17I know, but hey.
15:18Let's try and be rational.
15:21Why don't you go to the Governing?
15:22I mean, it's not the first time an officer's family have been threatened.
15:25It's a bit late for good advice now, isn't it?
15:28I don't know.
15:30Hey, maybe it's an ill wind.
15:32At least if we're both on suspension, we'll get some time together.
15:37Eh?
15:38Chance to be sure.
15:42I'm leaving work with a black mark against my name.
15:46And all you can do is sit there talking about us.
15:51Look.
15:52I don't believe you.
15:55Could you try for just once in your life forgetting?
15:58About your blasted job?
16:00I've tried to explain to you.
16:02God, my God.
16:03Your mother's right.
16:04If you go on being obsessed with your career, do you know who you'll end up like?
16:07Joan Bloody Ferguson.
16:08Yeah.
16:09Coming home to her pot plants and her dog.
16:11Well, it's better than ending up like Mum.
16:14Don't be scared to grow up and face a real relationship.
16:17You know, wake up to yourself.
16:18You're not a kid.
16:23When you've made up your mind, let me know.
16:28Good God, aren't you dressed yet?
16:42Oh, Mum.
16:43Some people can lie in on a Saturday.
16:45Well, if you hadn't spent half the night arguing with Dennis, he's right, you know.
16:52A man doesn't like a woman who puts her job ahead of him.
16:55Can't wait to tie me to the kitchen sink, can you?
16:59That's all you young women think marriage is, don't you?
17:03Men like your father don't grow on trees.
17:05And yet here you are, passing up Dennis.
17:08Mum, I just don't want to get married yet, okay?
17:12Maybe when I'm older.
17:14I suppose you imagine Mr. Wright will gallop up just like that when you're good and ready.
17:19Well, life doesn't work that way.
17:23Time and tide wait for no man, sir, they say.
17:25Yeah, you've told me a hundred times already.
17:27You're going to lose him.
17:32At least I've got my kids and my wonderful grandchildren to be proud of in my old age.
17:38But at the rate you're going, you'll have nothing except your prison uniform.
17:42Maybe not even that.
17:45Just lay off, will you?
17:48It's not as if I'm going into a convent or anything.
17:50I just want a career.
17:53So lay off!
17:55You all right, Jude?
17:57Yeah.
17:58I'm carrying too much weight, I think.
18:01Well, Dot, will you?
18:02She must be on something.
18:04I wish I was on something.
18:05Bloody roller skates for a start.
18:07I thought you said you were all right.
18:08Will you shut up, please?
18:09Can we just dance?
18:10Just shut up.
18:11Will you get off, Dot?
18:12It's our turn.
18:14Yes, please, I feel I'm going to play.
18:16Oh, you'll be all right, a young thing like you.
18:19Come on, Dot, you're messing up the schedules.
18:21Get off.
18:22Well, here it is.
18:24Palais de Wintwood.
18:25You've got to admire their staying, Pa.
18:28I know Angel looks like she's on her last leg.
18:31Heavens, they should have taken a break ages ago.
18:33Come on, Dot, get off the floor, will you?
18:34No worries, Mrs. Morris.
18:36I've still got plenty of stamina left.
18:37Oh, rubbish, rubbish.
18:38Marlene and Maya are ready to go on.
18:40Yes, we are.
18:41Get off.
18:41I'm as fit as a daisy.
18:43All right, all right, but you ought to consider Angel.
18:45Come on, Dot.
18:46I don't know how grateful I am, Mrs. Morris.
18:48Oh, put me down.
18:49That'd be all right.
18:53She'll be all right.
18:54Will you be able to see me today, Mr. Cleary?
18:57Just hold a sec.
18:58Listen, I'll organise another counselling session with Mr. Cleary, okay?
19:01Thanks, Mrs. Morris.
19:03That's your old girl.
19:04Me, you young whippersnapper.
19:10I want a word with you.
19:12Really, Miss Rogers?
19:13You set me up, Ferguson.
19:16You and your friend Cynthia got Winter to make those accusations against me, didn't you?
19:21Cynthia?
19:22Don't gun that with me.
19:24Because I took the phone call, remember?
19:26And it didn't take me long to find out there was a certain Cynthia at Blackmore.
19:30Ah, yes.
19:32An old friend from Queensland.
19:34Very efficient, Cynthia.
19:35Oh, yeah, and of course you'll deny that either of you fixed up anything with Winter.
19:40Why should I?
19:42Wake up to yourself, Rogers.
19:43You're finished.
19:45And I'm the one who finished you.
19:47Still, if you've learned something from it, it hasn't been a complete loss, has it?
19:51Well, learn what?
19:52Firstly, if you're going to deal with scum like Winter, you have to cover your tracks.
20:01And secondly, if you're going to stab a fellow officer in the back, you make damn sure the knife sticks.
20:07You've got a bloody nerve to stand there and say that to me.
20:11Why not?
20:13I've got nothing to lose.
20:15Experience, Rogers, that's what counts around here.
20:17Just, you think, if you hadn't been so careless, it might be me leaving Wentworth and not you.
20:26Pity, really.
20:28But that's life.
20:30Can't win them all, can you?
20:33It's so lonely being an only child.
20:36I suppose you've got lots of brothers and sisters.
20:38Just an elder sister who gave me hell.
20:40Say, whose counselling station is this?
20:42You're asking me more questions than I'm asking you.
20:44Sorry.
20:45Well, you see, when I was a little girl, I only had my imaginary playmates to talk to.
20:52All my life I've been looking for someone who I can trust, I suppose.
20:56Someone who'd take me to their heart.
20:58Like you, Phil.
21:00You don't mind me calling you that, do you?
21:02Why not? That's my name.
21:04Now, why did you get involved with this boy?
21:08Well, I honestly thought I could trust him.
21:12Like you.
21:13But you're much nicer.
21:14I know I could trust you with anything.
21:17You understand, don't you?
21:19You know, some nights I lie awake and pretend that there's someone there who I can reach out to.
21:26All warm and nice.
21:28Funny if there was.
21:30A bit difficult around here, Angel.
21:32Well, they say anything's possible, don't they?
21:34That's one way of looking at it.
21:35But, uh, look, time's up for today and you'd better spend the rest of your break getting some sleep before you're due back on the floor.
21:41I think I'll call it a day, Meg.
21:45Oh, I'll be back later after I've had a rest and changed into something fresh.
21:49You're not worried about being alone?
21:51No.
21:51Not really.
21:52Haven't been any more threatening letters.
21:53Now, is there anything I have to tell you before...
21:56Oh, yes.
21:58Heather asked me about a call she took for Joan.
22:00Someone called Cynthia.
22:01Isn't there a senior at Blackmore called for you?
22:03Yes, Cynthia Druin.
22:04She used to work with Joan in Queensland.
22:06I thought you knew.
22:07No.
22:08No, I didn't.
22:09Is it just my nasty mind or is there something fishy going on?
22:13Well, I think it's quite obvious someone's framing Heather, but the trouble is proving it.
22:17Do you think we ought to try and talk her into resigning and not less heartache for her in the long run?
22:22Yes, it might be.
22:24But if it was my name being dragged through the mud, I certainly wouldn't resign.
22:27Would you?
22:29No.
22:30No, I don't suppose I would.
22:39You need a bit of a hand there, Governor.
22:46Oh, yes, if you could.
22:47Not the first time it's happened.
22:54The chap at the garage said something about the distributor.
22:56Do you think it could be that?
22:57No, that's okay.
22:59Battery terminal's a bit loose.
23:02Oh, look at this brake fluid line.
23:05It's not connected.
23:06You think it could have worked loose?
23:07No way.
23:08It's been cut.
23:09It's a good thing it wouldn't start, Mrs Reynolds.
23:11You could have had a nasty accident.
23:13A very nasty accident.
23:24You feeling better?
23:27Well, we've checked visitors and everyone who delivered anything into the grounds.
23:31They've all been cleared.
23:34So we're no closer to knowing.
23:36Whatever it was, he had plenty of nerve.
23:38My men checked that car park dozens of times on their rounds.
23:41Took one hell of a risk.
23:43Would it take long to cut that tube?
23:45Ah, just a second.
23:47You were very lucky.
23:48I wouldn't have fancied your chances if you'd got out on that highway.
23:53Inspector, I have enough trouble driving with brakes.
23:55Yeah, well, as long as you're okay.
23:59But don't leave the prison without letting me know.
24:02Now, no one else you've thought of as a possible suspect?
24:05But apart from that list I gave you, no.
24:08Hmm.
24:08Oh, I've had men checking that out.
24:11Somerton's relatives seem okay.
24:12Checking out Cass Parker's family now.
24:15I'll let you know if I think of anyone else.
24:17Well, and, uh, thank you for the bodyguard.
24:20She's gone to my flat to collect some things.
24:23Yeah, well, if you've got to leave the prison at any time before we get a definite lead,
24:27that officer will be right alongside you.
24:29And the 24-hour guard will continue here, of course.
24:33It's a relief.
24:34Strangely enough, there is another weight off my mind.
24:39It's clear that the women here aren't in any danger.
24:42That maniac's after me.
24:44No one else.
24:50You'll feel better now you're back in your own dorm?
24:53Yeah, terrific.
24:55You don't have to go on work roster until you're stronger, okay?
24:58How about some peace and quiet?
25:00You know, alone?
25:03Was it, Ferguson?
25:05Like you said.
25:07I reported exactly what you told me.
25:10That's a good girl?
25:12Listen, Keane, you're here for a long time, and Ferguson's gunning for you.
25:15Now she's got me in her sights.
25:17So I reckon that gives us something in common.
25:20I've got nothing in common with screws.
25:23Winter's escape needed a lot of coordination.
25:26I'd say an officer helped her, wouldn't you?
25:29Come on, Reb, tell me the truth.
25:30I can do something about it.
25:32Oh, yeah.
25:32And you can walk out those gates if things foul up.
25:35I don't walk out on anything.
25:37Even if she knows you lagged on her, she can't do anything once she's sacked.
25:43And you're not safe until she goes because you're the only one who knows what really happened.
25:46It's not an even-money fight.
25:49She'd have you for breakfast.
25:51Oh, I'll get rid of Ferguson.
25:52But I'll do it in my way and in my time.
25:56Now, do you mind?
25:57I've got things to do.
25:58You'll love it, Meg.
26:08I promise.
26:08They make their own pasta and it's fantastic.
26:10But in that suburb, I mean, it's full of dropouts and uni students, isn't it?
26:14Look, who cares?
26:15The food is worth it.
26:16Your place is 7?
26:17Oh, well, all right.
26:19You better make it 7.30.
26:20I'm running late with everything today.
26:217.30 it is.
26:22I take it this place isn't full.
26:24You're joking.
26:25I thought so.
26:26I'll see you later.
26:28Did you want to see me, Angel?
26:30Well, sorry, Phil.
26:32I wasn't spying or anything, but I couldn't help hearing.
26:36So, how's the waltzing coming?
26:39Are you really taking Mrs. Morris out?
26:41I know she's older than you, but wouldn't that be lovely?
26:45We'll all be thrilled.
26:46It might be an idea if you didn't spread it around.
26:48It's no secrets or anything.
26:49It's just that, as you know.
26:51Hey, see you after Marathon ends, eh?
26:59Even smashing crockery sounds better than that waltz chop.
27:01Well, I reckon it stinks.
27:02Why'd they have to take over the rec room?
27:04What are we supposed to do?
27:05Don't worry.
27:06Three days of that music,
27:07and they'll be as deaf as the brats they're trying to help.
27:10Rebecca!
27:12Get something, Fred, and watch it all.
27:14Rebecca, what are you doing up?
27:15They should have kept you in bed.
27:17Well, back on your feet, eh, Keane?
27:19I thought for a while there that Wentworth had one less troublemaker.
27:24Still as sociable as ever, I see.
27:28Takes a lot to soften you up, doesn't it, Keane?
27:31I don't know what's your health, though.
27:33A person in your delicate condition could find herself on the critical list if she upsets the wrong people.
27:39Is that a threat?
27:41Are you threatening my daughter?
27:42You will address me as Miss Ferguson, is that clear?
27:48I know our rights, Miss Ferguson, and if anything happens to Rebecca, I'll go straight to the Governor.
27:52To the Minister, if necessary.
27:55Well, well.
27:57So Keane Senior's got a bit of a spark in her, too, eh?
27:59You've got a lot to learn about Wentworth, Mrs. Keane.
28:07An officer's duty includes protecting the prisoners.
28:10Oh, I agree.
28:12But you say, your daughter is rubbish, and rubbish doesn't deserve protection.
28:17You stay out of my way.
28:22I'm warning you.
28:23Look after yourself.
28:25If you can.
28:26But you keep out of my life.
28:28As far as I'm concerned, you don't exist.
28:34A bit more style, Jude.
28:37You're forgetting I told you about style.
28:40It's all right for you, isn't it?
28:42You've just had a break.
28:44Come on, Rabbit.
28:45A few more push-ups will get you back in shape.
28:48I'm not sure they'll make it for you.
28:50Of course they will.
28:51It's always a bit of a sag at this time of night.
28:53Everybody feels it.
28:54I agree with the Governor.
28:55It doesn't look promising.
28:57Oh, nonsense.
28:57We've got lots of spirit.
28:58They won't give up.
28:59I'm worried about Judy and Dottie.
29:01I think I'll have to stop them.
29:03Stop them?
29:04After all the departments put into this?
29:05The money, the energy, the sponsors' efforts?
29:07You can't let that go down the drain.
29:09And what about the deaf children?
29:10What about them?
29:11Yes, Miss Krantz, I understand that.
29:13Maybe if Jenkins hadn't sprained her ankle, they'd have made it.
29:17You sure she didn't just quit?
29:19There's more than money involved here.
29:21It's a matter of pride.
29:22I agree, but we can't just stand by and watch those women collapsing under our noses.
29:26They'll hit you if you stop them now.
29:28And if I don't, and they end up in hospital, no one will have to stop.
29:31Mrs. Reynolds, wait.
29:32Why don't you let them make the decision?
29:34Ladies, keep waltzing.
29:36Mrs. Reynolds has asked me to make an announcement.
29:38She thinks you're pushing yourselves too hard.
29:40She thinks you ought to give up.
29:42No way.
29:44No, we're in great shape, aren't we, girls?
29:47No, we're in great shape.
29:48I'm still going at my age.
29:51We want to see it through to the end, Mrs. Reynolds.
29:53Jude and I will make sure everyone's okay.
29:54We will, we'll make sure.
29:56Yes, all right, I won't insist, but please be sensible.
29:59And good luck.
30:00Mrs. Reynolds, I never liked you being a prison officer anyway.
30:06Why don't you resign?
30:08There's plenty of better jobs around for someone with your capabilities.
30:11Well, it's not my problem.
30:13Oh, aye, we've a lot of catching up to do one way and another.
30:16But I meant what I said, love.
30:18You always wanted to start a family.
30:20Now's our chance.
30:21Yeah, I want family, aye.
30:22Then there's no problem, love.
30:24That's one of the reasons I came home.
30:26Is that right?
30:27Well, I didn't ask you to come back, and this isn't your home.
30:29Oh, come on, Dennis.
30:31You were always talking about responsibilities and such.
30:33Well, here I am.
30:34Look, Doris, do you remember Heather, that girl that was here?
30:43How could I forget you threw me out?
30:46I love her, and I want to marry her.
30:50Oh, Dennis, you had a bit of a flutter while I was away.
30:53I understand.
30:55Look, forget it, Doris.
30:56You know damn well what I'm saying.
30:57Well, I tried to do it the nice way, but have you heard from home lately, Den?
31:04No, I'm not.
31:04From the family?
31:05Not for a couple of weeks.
31:06Why?
31:07It's nearly broke my R.
31:09Read it.
31:12Your mother's very sick, Den.
31:15I never knew she took it so hard, poor old soul.
31:17Of course, she wasn't well to begin with, was she?
31:19People just don't divorce in Barnsley, you know that.
31:23I'd say it's taken all the fight out of her.
31:26They don't know if she'll recover.
31:29Den, we can't do this to her.
31:31It might kill her.
31:34I had no idea she was her butt.
31:37I'll have to go home.
31:40We'll go together.
31:41Let us see her son's doing the right thing.
31:47Aye.
31:47Aye.
31:47Aye.
31:49Oh, clumsy me.
32:06It'll be all dirty now.
32:10Here, Mother King.
32:12Use this on your toothy pegs.
32:17Don't waste it.
32:18She could have used it on her hair, couldn't she?
32:20Yeah.
32:21We'll show her how.
32:24We was just joking, Rip.
32:25Just having a bit of fun.
32:27Go right ahead.
32:28She's nothing to me.
32:31Has anybody seen Dot Farrah?
32:33She was here a minute ago.
32:34Oh, for heaven's sake.
32:37Dot!
32:38Goodness me.
32:39Come on.
32:40You should have relieved Bobby over an hour ago.
32:43One, two, three, four.
32:45One, two, three, four.
32:45Look at you.
32:47Oh.
32:47That bloody dance went out of fashion.
32:49Oh, so will you if you don't get dried up and fixed up.
32:52Now, come on, for heaven's sake.
32:59Wow.
33:00You both arrived on time.
33:02Bit surprising, really.
33:03Great nighter.
33:03Hey, was I right about the food?
33:05Yeah.
33:05Yeah, it was lovely.
33:07Coffee?
33:08Ah, thanks.
33:09Well, when should we do it again?
33:11I don't know, Philip.
33:13I feel a little bit out of place with your friends.
33:15Well, who cares?
33:16We enjoyed ourselves, and...
33:17Hey, you can fill me in on all the stuff I need to know about Wentworth.
33:20In the meantime, we can both dodge cooking.
33:22Good morning, Philip.
33:23Good morning, Maggie.
33:24Mr. Reynolds.
33:24You're looking much happier.
33:26What's going on?
33:27Well, Inspector Rouse just ran out questioning a suspect.
33:31Thank God for that.
33:32Who is it?
33:33Don't know yet.
33:35He's only about 20.
33:36They picked him up trying to break into my flat, because he could be just a burglar.
33:39Oh, that'd be too much of a coincidence.
33:41Well, anyway, we're hoping he's the one responsible for everything.
33:45The letters and the brakes on my car.
33:48God knows how he got in here.
33:49When will you know?
33:50Soon, I hope.
33:52Keep your fingers crossed.
33:55Miss Ferguson, may I make a telephone call on my next break, please?
33:59If you must.
34:01Thank you, Miss Ferguson.
34:02I can't have only seven hours to go.
34:10Stop.
34:11Where have you been?
34:12I'm busting.
34:13Oh, come on, Dot.
34:14It's the home stretch.
34:15Let's go.
34:16I don't dance with two-faced dudesses.
34:18Come on, Dot.
34:19Everybody needs breaks.
34:20She won't tell me what I'm supposed to have done.
34:23Don't stick on a term.
34:25We've got to stick together.
34:26Oh, come on.
34:27Look, Bobby has to leave.
34:29Stupid old cow, she called me.
34:31Angel told me she was that upset about it.
34:33Oh, goodness.
34:34Was it me who upset you?
34:36No, not you, love.
34:37Look, all right, I might have said that, Dot, but you know me.
34:40Mal in the mouth, I wouldn't have meant anything by it.
34:43I'm sorry.
34:44Yeah, look, she's apologised.
34:45Please get on the floor.
34:46No.
34:47Forget it.
34:47You can work it out yourself.
34:48Bloody hell.
34:49Rabble, I had no idea I'd cause all this trouble.
34:55Don't worry about it, okay?
34:57Well, she was saying such mean things about you, about that guy you killed, but I know
35:02it was an accident.
35:04Well, I've just been saying how much I liked you, and she said you were just another murderer.
35:10But don't be upset.
35:12The only thing that upsets me is that I apologise to the old witch.
35:16Not too much, please.
35:17Good God, get her, will you?
35:20Not too much, please.
35:21She doesn't mean it.
35:23Give her heaps.
35:24Pet food, is it?
35:25She loves that.
35:26Oh, yeah, I forgot.
35:27Your daughter wants to see you.
35:28Wants to kiss and make up, I suppose.
35:37You wanted to see me?
35:40Alcohol in there, Ed.
35:42Here's all.
35:43Your mum's starving, Red.
35:44Look at the surf she grabbed.
35:46I'm not hungry, but I hate it.
35:47I'll wait up.
35:49Hold it.
35:50It's prison food, lady.
35:52You brought us both back in here, now you eat it.
35:54Tastes better than usual, isn't it?
35:55Yeah.
35:56Maybe it needs a little jazz on up.
36:01There.
36:02It's better?
36:03Come on now, mummy.
36:05You didn't want it.
36:10You've got a choice.
36:11You can eat it.
36:12Well, there it.
36:22The lot.
36:25I said eat the lot.
36:26Oh!
36:31Where do you think you're going, Keith?
36:33I thought we could go somewhere quiet and talk while we eat.
36:50I phoned last night, but you were out.
36:59Oh, yeah.
37:00I just drove around for hours, thinking.
37:04Let's face it, I had a lot to think about, right?
37:09Dan, I'm sorry I was rotten too much.
37:12No, I was unreasonable.
37:15You were upset about your job.
37:16I do understand.
37:19I, um, discovered something on that drive.
37:25And that the job rates nothing alongside you.
37:28You passed, Paul.
37:35Look, Keith, something's cropped up.
37:38What?
37:39My mum's sick, very sick.
37:41I've, uh, got to go home.
37:43Oh, Dan, I'm sorry.
37:45When did you hear?
37:46Well, last night, Doris came around with a, with a letty.
37:49I'm sorry.
37:52Huh?
37:54You.
37:56Doris is going with you back to England.
37:58It's I, but that doesn't mean we're getting together again.
38:02I'll be back as soon as my mother's better.
38:05It's just rotten luck.
38:07I'll be back, Keith.
38:10I promise.
38:14Of course you will.
38:19What are you doing here, Adams?
38:30This is out of bounds.
38:31Well, I'm sorry, Mrs. Morris, I didn't know.
38:32Yes, well, you remember that in future.
38:34Now, I'm going to take you to the visitor's room.
38:35There's somebody waiting to see you, but you'd better be quick.
38:37You're due back on the dance floor soon.
38:39Well, I'll be as quick as I can.
38:40Well, it's not going to be long now until the record's broken.
38:42I'm sure your visitor will understand.
38:43But it's the check, especially blown up one.
38:45You can't break the seal.
38:47Sorry, sir, I've got to open it.
38:48Orders?
38:49That'll spoil the whole presentation.
38:50Listen, how about letting us through?
38:52We're the press.
38:53Oh, thank God.
38:55Here's someone with sanity.
38:56Mr. Mark Goldberg.
38:57Bob, gentlemen, what seems to be the problem?
38:59Well, our friend here is worried about my check.
39:03I feel like taking it back.
39:04For God's sake, Bob, get us in.
39:05These gentlemen are legitimate, officer.
39:07I can vouch for each and every one of them.
39:09I've finished with them anyway, Miss Crutts.
39:10Oh, good.
39:17Sorry about this, gentlemen, but you know what the police are like.
39:19Well, the place is crawling with them.
39:21All that manhandling at the gate is not good for publicity.
39:24Can't you do something about it?
39:25Wait till you see these women.
39:26It's a human interest story you are going to love.
39:30Only 90 minutes to go, girls.
39:33Let's hear it for Dot.
39:34She saved the day.
39:35I wish they'd let us doll ourselves up a bit, Fratelli.
39:41You know, a bit of rouge and lipstick.
39:44Probably looking a bit slack.
39:46I'll liven them up a bit.
39:47He's going to lift his fat feet.
39:48Who's the bugger?
39:50Oh, and you could do it with a bit of zip, bitches.
39:52Hey, what's going on?
39:53Oh, my God.
39:54Oh, shoot, shoot, dance.
39:56Keep dancing.
39:58Oh, no.
39:59You have to have a pension.
40:00I'm telling you, the stamina.
40:02Oh, no.
40:03Come on, girls.
40:04Keep dancing.
40:05Dot wouldn't want us to give up.
40:07I think we'd better get her to a doctor.
40:13Why the panic to see me?
40:15I need a favour.
40:16Will you do it?
40:18It's something you'll enjoy.
40:19Well, it depends what it is.
40:21Well, just say yes, and we'll all be happy.
40:25Why?
40:26Because I've been a good friend.
40:28I know all about New Year's Eve, what happened when you left.
40:31I could have had the police on your doorstep for Sandra's rape.
40:36Then they would have tied that in with the others around me.
40:38Who are you bluffing?
40:40Well, if you don't help me, you'll leave here in handcuffs.
40:44It's up to you, Peter.
40:45What do you want me to do?
40:48Your specialty, of course.
40:51You mean, you want me to rape someone?
40:53One of the officers here, because she's in love with a man who fancies me.
41:01Just turn her off men for a while.
41:04You know how to do that.
41:07Her name's Meg Morris.
41:09God, it's Bedlam in here today.
41:10Do I need a coffee?
41:12Do you want one?
41:12Yeah.
41:12Isn't this supposed to be your day off?
41:15Yeah, but I knew things would be frowning in here.
41:18And let's face it, I need to look keen on the job the way things are.
41:21How are the dancers?
41:22Well, poor old Dot's collapsed.
41:24We were very worried at first, but apparently it's only exhaustion.
41:27Good rest and she'll be fine.
41:28Yeah, she'll be upset about that.
41:30Where is she?
41:30I'll drop in on her.
41:31In the hospital.
41:33Thought you'd be spending today with Dennis.
41:36Oh, well, I've got that drug smuggling charge to clear up,
41:38and I need to know what I'm up against.
41:40This job's very important to me, you know.
41:43Of course it is.
41:44I feel the same way as Mrs Reynolds.
41:47She's very dubious about the evidence.
41:49Yeah?
41:50Frankly, I believe you've been framed.
41:52It's Ferguson.
41:54But she's not going to get away with it.
41:56I can promise you this much.
41:57Maybe I won't get out of it.
41:58Maybe I'll be fired.
41:59But I'm certainly not going quietly.
42:01Well, we hope you're not going at all.
42:03Miss Ferguson's taught me a lot.
42:05And if I have to leave Wentworth, she's coming with me.
42:09Even if it means doing it her way.
42:12Ladies and gentlemen, they've done it.
42:14A new world record for waltzing.
42:16Let's hear it for the blinds, Ed.
42:19What about Dot?
42:21Is she okay?
42:22I'd like to assure you that Dot Parra is fine resting comfortably.
42:26In a half an hour, these ladies will have achieved their goal.
42:29A new world record.
42:31And the Deaf Institute will be richer by $80,000.
42:33for a sensor-evoked response audiometer.
42:37An essential piece of equipment that will allow these children
42:40to hear sound for the first time in their lives.
42:43Ladies, thank you.
42:49Listen, can't we stop dancing now?
42:52We're a few minutes past the record.
42:54We're about to kill over.
42:56Yeah, can't we stop now?
42:57Listen, the deal is 72 and a half hours.
43:01It's exactly what we're going to do.
43:02We can't make it.
43:04It's $80,000 for those deaf kids.
43:06Come on.
43:06It's the bell, lad.
43:08Come on.
43:09You're a lot of me.
43:11How are you standing up for the babies?
43:13We're just missing.
43:14Well, we're nearly there.
43:15Oh, I'm just glad it's nearly over.
43:16Had a few panicky moments with Dot Farrah, though.
43:19Where's that social worker chatty?
43:20Oh, we have to go.
43:21Oh.
43:21And Mrs. Reynolds will be long for a few minutes.
43:23Oh, Sir Krantz, could you draw attention on TV to the way our tracksuits have stood up?
43:27Look at that.
43:28Not a crease?
43:29Yes, I'll do the best I can, Mr. Montgomery.
43:31Behind the high walls and locked gates of Wentworth Detention Centre,
43:35the countdown has begun.
43:37In less than half an hour, these four gutsy ladies will have completed 72 and a half hours
43:43of relentless, back-breaking dancing.
43:47Hello?
43:48Hello, this is Anne Reynolds speaking.
43:52You've been lucky once, Governor.
43:55It won't happen again.
43:57Who is this?
43:58It's my God-given task to stop the degradation you've forced on your victims with this ridiculous
44:05marathon.
44:07Can we meet immediately, any place you choose?
44:11Too late, Governor.
44:13Your time has come.
44:15It's too late to stop it.
44:17What?
44:20Regrettably, the innocent must die with you.
44:24Everybody in Wentworth prison.
44:27How?
44:28When?
44:30While the world watches.
44:33So the world will see.
44:35Just what are you talking about?
44:38An explosion, Governor.
44:41A very big explosion.
44:44An eye for an eye.
44:47You for a loved one.
44:49He used to give me roses.
45:03I wish he could again.
45:08But that was on the outside.
45:11And things were different then.
45:16On the inside, the sun still shines.
45:22And the rain falls down.
45:26But the sun and rain are Christmas too.
45:32When morning comes around.
45:35Last night I dreamed we were together.
45:36Last night I dreamed we were together.
45:42Sharing all the love we'd known.
45:47Till I had to face the nightmare.
45:51When morning comes around.
45:52I'm waking up alone.
45:56On the inside the roses grow.
46:01They don't land the stony ground.
46:07But the roses here are Christmas too.
46:11When morning comes around.
46:16When morning comes around.
46:18When morning comes around.
