00:00And this one's Jimmy. It was my favourite wedding. I don't know why it's making me feel
00:27so sick. Pixie, what have you been taking? Well, just the tinsiest, weensiest bit of
00:35grass, Mr Bridges. I don't know how cows can eat it all day. I don't feel well at all.
00:40I can imagine. Oh, you won't tell Mrs Riddles, will you? Because, well, they'll keep you
00:44in here forever if you do. No, Pixie, I won't tell the Governor. I want to help you get
00:48out of here, not spoil your chances. Oh, Lord. Come on. Take that. What's going on, Bobby?
00:56You didn't have the guts to finish, Ferguson, so we're doing it for you. Where are they
01:01now? What's happening? You're too late. It's all over by now. Oh, my God.
01:06Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
01:26Oh, my gosh. Melissa, can you make it? I feel really awful. People think I'm a dreadful
01:43I'm a dreadful person, but I'm not really.
01:45No, of course not.
01:46Just concentrate on getting there, Pixie.
01:47Oh, we're having such a lovely chat.
01:48Yeah.
01:49The hunter guy will feel better later, won't he?
01:51Ah!
01:51Ah!
01:52Oh!
01:53Oh!
01:54Mason.
01:55Mason, in my top pocket is a knife.
01:56Will you get it?
01:57Hurry up, Pixie.
01:59Now get the knife out.
02:00That's right, and open it.
02:01Now open it, Pixie.
02:03Go over and cut the sheet.
02:05Cut the sheet, Pixie!
02:06Oh!
02:07Oh!
02:08Oh!
02:09Oh!
02:10Oh!
02:11Oh!
02:11Oh!
02:12Oh!
02:13Oh!
02:14Oh!
02:15Oh!
02:16Oh!
02:16Jeez.
02:18They shouldn't have done it.
02:19They shouldn't have.
02:20Oh, gee, shut up, will you?
02:21Someone had to.
02:23Yeah, well, why didn't they tell men about it?
02:24She was sticking up something real dreadful
02:25to do to Miss Ferguson.
02:26Yeah, well, she was thinking we were doing it.
02:28Anyway, what are you carrying on about?
02:30You killed her.
02:31Screw.
02:32Yeah, well, that was different.
02:32That was an accident.
02:33Yeah, yeah.
02:34Yeah.
02:35Anyone tell us what's going on?
02:36Nothing.
02:37I just hurt myself, that's all.
02:38We're not talking about you, Mitchell.
02:39Where is everyone?
02:40I've just come from the rec room,
02:41and apart from Bryant, no one was there.
02:43Why?
02:43Now, how the hell would we know?
02:45I've been here most of the night.
02:46Now, don't tell lies, Bobbie.
02:47Were you with them, too?
02:48What are you talking about?
02:49Don't treat me like I'm stupid.
02:51Were you with them when they killed Miss Ferguson?
02:54She's serious.
02:55Yeah, we strung her up in the shower block.
02:57She's stupid.
02:58You leave her alone.
02:59Brenda.
02:59They killed Ferguson.
03:00We've done a fortune.
03:01Well, let's see if it's true first.
03:02Come on.
03:03Let you stop here.
03:04Oh, why?
03:04Because men said so.
03:08Come on out.
03:09All of you, come on.
03:10Come out.
03:11Come on.
03:12Come on.
03:13You fool.
03:13I suppose it was all your idea.
03:16Well, you were too bloody weak to do anything.
03:18It's too late to argue with me.
03:20Watch your cover story.
03:22What do you mean?
03:22Well, don't waste time, dear.
03:25Bridges has already found a watch your alibi.
03:28Bridges.
03:28Bridges.
03:29Bridges.
03:30Bridges.
03:31Bridges.
03:32Bridges.
03:33Bridges.
03:33Bridges.
03:34Bridges.
03:35Bridges.
03:37Well, you do have one, don't you?
03:39We didn't have time to think of anything.
03:40Oh, heaven save me from amateurs.
03:43You just bugger off.
03:43At least we tried to do something.
03:44Shut up.
03:45At least we tried to do something.
03:46Shut up, Phyllis.
03:47Sorry, love.
03:48What do you reckon we should do?
03:50Everyone, to the rec room.
03:52We've been together all night.
03:54All of us, understand?
03:56And make it good.
03:57Cards, table tennis, television, and lots of noise.
04:02Now, for heaven's sake, don't stand there looking so scared.
04:07You'll help them, will you, Lizzie?
04:08I'll go and get Bobby and Cass.
04:12You got trouble, Grandma.
04:14Bad trouble.
04:15I don't think so.
04:16Go to the rec room.
04:17Go to hell.
04:20Suit yourself, but if you don't,
04:21you won't have an alibi.
04:26Now, let me see if I've got this right.
04:28There are no rival photographers in the district, correct?
04:31That's right, no competition at all.
04:33Who else wanted the shop?
04:35It'd been vacant for a long time.
04:37In other words, no one had it in for Paul Reynolds
04:39except Ted Douglas and the Fellows gang.
04:42Who else do you need?
04:44Yeah, you certainly pick on the big boys, don't you?
04:46Well, from choice, believe me.
04:48Well, it won't matter to them either way.
04:50As far as they're concerned,
04:52you were instrumental in putting one of them behind bars.
04:55We know that.
04:56The thing is, can you prove they planted the photos
04:57in Paul's shop?
04:58Well, miracles take a little longer.
05:00But if you can't?
05:02You're not gonna throw in the towel now.
05:04Now, you listen to me.
05:05These criminals, these particular criminals,
05:08are very, very clever.
05:09At the moment, I can present to the court
05:12a squeaky-clean character who helped the police
05:15nail one of the Fellows gang.
05:16Now, that's not a bad beginning.
05:19God, this is a dry argument.
05:20Who shouts it?
05:21Sorry, what would you like to your coffee?
05:22Wouldn't mind a little scotch.
05:24Mum?
05:25Oh, a brand new dry, please.
05:26I'll get the dry.
05:27I'll get it.
05:31You seem to have your own way of doing things.
05:34Yes.
05:35Does it worry you?
05:36No, of course not.
05:37As long as Paul doesn't suffer.
05:38Mum, it's for you.
05:39Excuse me.
05:42Sorry, I forgot to ask whether you wanted ice or not.
05:44Oh, did I get any?
05:45Not yet.
05:46Oh, well, that's fine.
05:47That's just how I like it.
05:48I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse me.
05:49I've been called back to the prison.
05:51What's wrong?
05:52That was David Bridges.
05:54He just found Joan Ferguson hanging on the shower bed.
05:56Oh, hell.
06:05Parker?
06:06Oh, no, Mrs. Reynolds, honest.
06:08No, I haven't seen Miss Ferguson since tea time.
06:11That's right, Mrs. Reynolds.
06:13Mind you, she might have looked in,
06:14but we wouldn't have noticed.
06:16You see, we were having a lovely game of cards
06:18with Sonia and Brenda.
06:27Well?
06:28That's right.
06:29Mind you, we had to play something Parker understood,
06:31so it wasn't very exciting.
06:46It must have been very crowded in here tonight.
06:49Harvey, what were you watching on television?
06:51Lizzie made us watch a crummy western with Charles Bronson.
06:54What are you talking about?
06:55You all wanted to watch.
06:57No, we didn't.
06:58We didn't.
06:59No, we didn't.
07:00Quiet!
07:01The pillowcase and the sheet definitely came from Adler's cell,
07:04but there's still no sign of her.
07:06When was the last time you saw Adler?
07:08Adler?
07:09I don't think I know what she looks like.
07:11Wendy Adler, is that it?
07:12No, no, Mary.
07:13I hate to say this,
07:14but I think we've got an escape on our hands.
07:16OK, get the police.
07:18Search the grounds, usual procedure.
07:20All right, back to your cells.
07:22Come on, Martha, we didn't do nothing.
07:24Yeah, it's not our fault if Ferguson gets herself killed.
07:27Miss Ferguson isn't dead, Hunt.
07:29Dr Collins is looking after her now.
07:31Take her to Mr Bridges.
07:33Come on, ladies, move out.
07:35All right, come on.
07:38All right, come on.
07:51The vertebrae seem to be intact.
07:54Some heavy bruising around the larynx,
07:56but that's to be expected.
07:58Is your vision all right?
08:00Now, don't try and speak.
08:02Just squeeze my hand if it's OK.
08:04Don't worry.
08:06It'll come back soon.
08:08You were damn lucky, Joan.
08:10Another 30 seconds,
08:12and it could have been a different story.
08:14As it is,
08:16you should be up and about in a week or so.
08:18Could even be back at work.
08:20Now, don't try and move.
08:22I'll just go and see if the ambulance has arrived.
08:24Oh, it was dreadful, Lizzie.
08:26They said I wouldn't have to smoke
08:28any of those awful drugs,
08:30but I did.
08:33I had to smoke a whole cigarette full of it,
08:35and it made me feel all fuzzy.
08:37Thank you, Cass,
08:39and I was saying the silliest things I just know I was.
08:41Yeah, well, you can't blame men for that.
08:43Everything went wrong when they tried to kill Miss Ferguson.
08:45Oh, don't, Cassie.
08:47I can still see her hanging there
08:49like a soap on a rope,
08:51all floppy and limp.
08:53Now, don't you think about it no more, Pic.
08:55She'll only make herself sick again.
08:57God, I wish it would.
08:59It might shut her up.
09:02I don't blame you, Lizzie.
09:04You were only supposed to frighten her or something like that.
09:06Well, not what you did.
09:08Oh, God, get off me back.
09:10I said I was sorry.
09:12Phil just seemed to take over,
09:14and before I knew what was happening,
09:16there was Ferguson looking really good
09:18with a pillowcase stuck over her head.
09:20Yeah, well, men's real crook on everyone.
09:22I know Miss Ferguson's not a very nice lady,
09:24but I'm glad she didn't die.
09:26Yes, well, we can thank Mr. Bridges for that.
09:28Oh, gosh, he was brave.
09:30Well, I've been thinking about him.
09:32I reckon he's a bit of a dark horse.
09:34Why?
09:36Well, he told Mrs. Reynolds
09:38that he didn't know Mary Adler.
09:40He even called her Wendy.
09:42Well, what difference does that make?
09:44Oh, I remember now. He was talking to her.
09:46Yes, and I was talking to him
09:48about going to see her,
09:50and he knew about her then.
09:52I reckon he's up to no good.
09:54Yeah?
09:56Like what, Lizzie?
09:59And Mary Adler's gone over the wall.
10:01What's that got to do with Mr. Bridges?
10:03You, Jan.
10:05We both know he was telling fibs,
10:07and there can be only one reason for that.
10:09Because
10:11he helped her.
10:13I reckon
10:15we've got a screw
10:17who's going to help us all to escape.
10:19Oh!
10:21Another one of these,
10:23and I'll have to stay.
10:25You might have to anyway.
10:27If Mrs. Reynolds's got a minute,
10:29could you get her to call me, please?
10:33Always happens.
10:35Only one person in the entire place
10:37I don't know her name's Mrs. McKenna.
10:39Have a guess who's on the switchboard.
10:41Mrs. McKenna.
10:43Right, and she ain't telling nothing to nobody.
10:45Like I said, we could be in for a long night.
10:47What say I put some coffee on, any takers?
10:49Good idea.
10:51Paul was telling me about this Joan Ferguson.
10:53Sounds like a nice type.
10:56Yeah, but that's not the point though, is it?
10:58Nobody deserves to die like that.
11:00True.
11:02You look worried. What's the matter?
11:04It's just that whenever something
11:06like this happens,
11:08the prisoners always end up suffering.
11:10I just hate the entire system.
11:12It's too impersonal.
11:14Well, why don't you do something to change it?
11:16Take on the department?
11:18You've got to be kidding.
11:20Yeah, it did sound a little naive, didn't it?
11:22Sorry.
11:24Does Anne feel the same way?
11:26Yes.
11:28No, I wouldn't have her job for quids.
11:30She does all she can,
11:32which, believe me, is a hell of a lot.
11:38Wally,
11:40do you mind if I ask you a question?
11:42Ask me and I'll tell you.
11:44I gather you and Anne
11:46are very close.
11:48Is that the question?
11:50No.
11:53Well, I might as well go for broke.
11:55How serious are you?
11:57What I mean is,
11:59is there any commitment?
12:01Boy, that's a hell of a question without notice.
12:03I know.
12:05And I might add
12:07that I don't usually throw myself at men like this,
12:09so what's the answer?
12:13Are we very fond of each other?
12:15Yes.
12:19She's one of the nicest people I've ever met.
12:23As to the commitment,
12:25no.
12:29But I would never do anything to hurt her.
12:31I'm too fond of her.
12:35Well, that's all I wanted to know.
12:37Cheers.
12:39I've told Inspector Guest everything he wants to know,
12:41but he has to go through some files,
12:43so I've left him in my office.
12:45OK, I'll check on him later.
12:47Thanks.
12:49Look, you don't mind finishing Joan's shift, do you?
12:51Listen, give me a call if there's any news about Adler, won't you?
12:53Yes, of course,
12:55but I really don't think she's in here.
12:57I've checked all the work areas.
12:59David's done the boiler room, the air plant.
13:01They're doing the grounds now.
13:03I wonder if there is a connection.
13:05Between what?
13:07The escape and the murder attempt.
13:09Well, we won't know that until all the police have found Adler.
13:11In a way, I hope it is her,
13:13because if it isn't,
13:15our would-be murderer is still in here.
13:21Any trouble?
13:23No, things are very quiet.
13:25Probably making up these stories for the police.
13:27And won't they need to be good ones
13:29to get out of this mess?
13:31What do the bloody kids want, anyway?
13:33Don't they believe we're in the right room?
13:35Would you?
13:37You must admit it's not the strongest alibi in the world.
13:39You're the one who thought of it.
13:41In a hurry and under pressure,
13:43and I'm not saying it won't work.
13:45It will, as long as we all work together.
13:47I'm not saying it won't work.
13:50It will, as long as we all stick to it.
13:52Yeah, don't you forget that.
13:54Otherwise, we'll all cop it.
13:56Geez, I don't know.
13:58I mean, I'm not that good at telling fibs.
14:00Yeah, well, you wouldn't have had to
14:02if you morons had used your brains.
14:04Who are you calling names, Yank?
14:06Leave it, kid. I'm not in the mood.
14:08Oh, love, I'm sorry.
14:10I forgot all about it.
14:12You reckon they'll reach a verdict today?
14:14They already did before the trial even started.
14:16Now, now, Judy.
14:19You might think you were guilty, too.
14:21Cheer up, dear.
14:23Yeah, don't look so down the dumps, love.
14:25We all know you're innocent.
14:29Really?
14:31Well, I can remember when you didn't.
14:33Ferguson's out of action,
14:35so now's the time to get the grass straight going.
14:37And when she gets back, she sits on us,
14:39takes the merchandise, and then we're out of profit.
14:41No, thank you.
14:43But we've got the tape, remember?
14:45What's the matter with her?
14:47If she gets the money, she gets the tape.
14:49If she doesn't get the tape, she gets me.
14:51Okay, I'll get in touch with the fellows, gang.
14:53You think they'll know how to handle her, don't you?
14:59I wonder if you'd allow me
15:01to present this for next month's medical journal,
15:03Miss Ferguson.
15:05Let me explain.
15:07By rights, these vertebrae should have been severely damaged.
15:09But fortunately for you,
15:11the muscle structure of your neck
15:13is extremely strong.
15:16There's damage, of course,
15:18but nothing we can't take care of.
15:20When can I get out?
15:22Well, we won't worry about that
15:24for a while, will we?
15:26I have to.
15:28I have to get back to work.
15:30Now, come on.
15:32You really must be sensible.
15:34Statistically, you shouldn't even be alive.
15:36Now, you just rest
15:38and leave everything to us.
15:40If you need anything, give nurse a buzz.
15:42All right?
15:58Who found the hole in the fence?
16:00I did, Mrs. Reynolds.
16:02It was only a fluke, though.
16:04It's behind those 44-gallon drums near the old tool shed.
16:06Explains why it wasn't found last night.
16:08It also explains where Adler was during that exercise period.
16:10No, I can't go along with that.
16:12I supervised that period.
16:14You sure?
16:16I did ask about her once,
16:18and the women said she was in the toilet block.
16:20Starting to sound like a team effort.
16:22What about you, David?
16:24Nothing, but then again, I didn't ask for her.
16:26Well, the police are putting out an all-points bulletin,
16:28and they're questioning the women
16:30while they're investigating Jones' hanging.
16:32Why? Do they think there's a connection?
16:34I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see.
16:36Oh, yes. Has the minister been in touch?
16:38No. Not to my knowledge, anyway.
16:40He will be.
16:43I'll mess it up then. I know I will.
16:45Of course you won't, Cass.
16:47All you've got to do is tell the truth.
16:49Well, not quite.
16:51Just say what we're all going to say.
16:53Yeah.
16:55What's that?
16:57For God's sake, Cass, we've been talking about it all morning.
16:59Well, I'm real sorry, Lizzie,
17:01but it's real confusing.
17:03I know I've got to say I was in the rec room.
17:05Playing cards, dear. Don't forget that.
17:07Oh, yeah, that's right.
17:09Who with?
17:11Sonia and Brenda.
17:13God, Cass, you've got a mind like a sieve.
17:15Oh, now, Lizzie, she's doing her best.
17:17Playing cards in the rec room with Sonia and Brenda.
17:19I was playing cards in the rec room with Sonia and Brenda.
17:21Now, who was it over there? It could be funny.
17:23I wouldn't laugh
17:25if I was you, Sonia.
17:27Really?
17:29Who were you playing cards with?
17:31Sonia
17:33and Brenda.
17:35Does that answer your question, dear?
17:38May I have your attention,
17:40please, ladies?
17:42The police are here
17:44and they want to see you one at a time.
17:46So we'll go in alphabetical order.
17:48Lizzie, you come with me.
17:50Now, don't forget, Lizzie, he was in the rec room
17:52playing cards with Sonia and Brenda.
17:54Not me!
17:56Bloody hell, I give up.
18:00Oh, hi.
18:02Hi, yourself.
18:04You're down on the left.
18:06What?
18:08I had a photo. It's crooked.
18:10Oh.
18:12G'day, Will. Be with you in a minute.
18:14No hurry. Talk to the hard help.
18:16She's not very good, but she works cheap.
18:18I didn't expect to see you here.
18:20Trouble?
18:22Oh, no, not really.
18:24Just a few questions I forgot to ask last night.
18:26I was going to take Paul up to my place in the hills
18:28so we could work uninterrupted,
18:30but he can see what happened.
18:32Sounds like we have something in common.
18:35A place in the hills?
18:37Oh, it's only a shack, but it sure beats
18:39hell out of living in the city.
18:41Yeah. Somewhere sort of nice and quiet
18:43where you can think about real things.
18:45If you know what I mean.
18:47I certainly do.
18:49Sounds like we live in the same
18:51neck of the woods.
18:53Excuse me?
18:55Yes, well, it'd be even nicer
18:57if we lived in the same shack, wouldn't it?
18:59Oh.
19:01It sure is good for the ego, Buck.
19:04No, don't say it.
19:06Hey, you two, I'd kill for a cuppa.
19:08Coming up.
19:10What would you like, Sam?
19:12I'll put the kettle on.
19:14Well, the food's really lousy.
19:16It reminds me of her cooking.
19:18Yeah, I'm sure Dad will be glad to hear that.
19:22What's the matter with you, you stupid bitch?
19:24What's the point of setting her up
19:26if you lot go and kill her?
19:28I had nothing to do with it.
19:30Anyway, she's not dead.
19:32Well, that's just as bad.
19:34How the hell is Don supposed
19:36to get the money from her in there?
19:38He can wait till she gets out.
19:40That's simple enough, isn't it?
19:42Well?
19:44No, no, it isn't.
19:46Don's been playing funny-buckers
19:48and he's been putting the squeeze on fellows, too.
19:50You're kidding.
19:52Wish I were.
19:54That's why he has to get the money
19:56from Ferguson today.
19:58He has to disappear, and quickly.
20:01I don't care what he does
20:03so long as I get my cut.
20:05If he can't do it, then you get the tape
20:07and you do it.
20:09But do it with me.
20:31Ray.
20:35Is something wrong, Mr. Fellows?
20:37Who was the clown that did the tally last night?
20:39Trevor. Why?
20:41Get rid of him.
20:43If I've done my sums correctly,
20:45he's been a naughty boy.
20:47Right. We still owe him for a week.
20:49Do I pay him?
20:51Right.
20:53You didn't tell me what happened
20:55to that Reynolds kid.
20:57Oh, yeah, that's all fixed.
20:59We planted the photos and the law hit him with a porno charge.
21:01Why didn't you tell me?
21:03I told your brother, I thought.
21:05Tell me, Ray.
21:07I'm the man.
21:09I paid the bread, OK?
21:11Yeah. Sorry.
21:13OK. Now, what's on the agenda?
21:15Well, the grass drop at Wentworth went OK.
21:17Your license paper for Brenda Hewitt?
21:19That, too. She should start producing soon.
21:21Good.
21:23We should keep her there. She's useful.
21:25Hmm.
21:28Yes, I've been thinking about our greedy friend with the information.
21:30You want me to talk to him?
21:32I want you to waste him.
21:34Today.
21:36You're being very foolish.
21:38I can't be held responsible
21:40if you don't take treatment.
21:42Good. You're off the hook, then.
21:44Do I have to sign out?
21:46Miss Ferguson, please. You do have some ligament damage.
21:48And I'm still not sure how your larynx
21:50will react after treatment.
21:52You need at least three days in traction.
21:54Listen, if you want to see me,
21:56I'll be back in a couple of days.
21:58Right now,
22:00I've got things to do.
22:04Mrs. Donovan.
22:06Please, Inspector.
22:08All my friends call me Minnie.
22:10All right.
22:12Minnie.
22:14Now, if I'm to believe you,
22:16all the women were in the recreation room
22:18at the time Miss Ferguson was attacked.
22:20Is that right?
22:23Let's see. There was Lorna, Jill,
22:25Jacko, Pix...
22:27No, Pixie was with Mr. Bridges,
22:29but I've already told you that.
22:31Poor love. She was feeling a little off-color
22:33and a...
22:35Oh, yes. Now, where was I?
22:37Oh, yes. Jacko, Peg,
22:39Frida...
22:41Yes, yes, yes. We've already been through it.
22:43Of course, I can't tell you where Mary Adler was.
22:45I understand the silly girl's gone missing.
22:47Any news of her yet, Mrs. Morris?
22:49Donovan, I'm getting a bit sick of this game.
22:52Now, either you start telling me the truth
22:54or I'm going to charge all of you with attempted murder.
22:56Do I make myself clear?
22:58Oh, yes, perfectly clear,
23:00but I wouldn't advise it.
23:02I mean, I'm sure it's a good, safe way
23:04to catch the guilty party,
23:06but it is a little indiscriminate, isn't it?
23:08Some of your superiors may think
23:10that you, well, to put it in a nutshell,
23:12took the easy way out.
23:14Hardly the stuff promotions
23:16are made of.
23:18Now, what else did you want to ask me?
23:22Well, I don't know, Randy.
23:24I reckon you've got to be wrong.
23:26Mrs. Morris is a real nice lady.
23:28She's done an awful lot for us, too.
23:30That's your opinion.
23:32Well, anyway, she couldn't have done nothing for you.
23:34Well, she did, and she'll pay for it, I can promise you that.
23:36Don't you go doing nothing rotten,
23:38because I'm in.
23:40Hey, how are you, Min?
23:42Oh, quite well, thank you, dear.
23:44Why'd you go with him, love?
23:46He wasn't too happy when I left him.
23:48Nervous man, wasn't he?
23:50Oh, all right, ladies.
23:52Come along, keep moving.
23:54Oh, yeah, Min.
23:56Good luck, join the others.
23:58Yes, Mrs. Morris, I will.
24:00I'd just like to tell you something, if you've got time.
24:02Well?
24:04I've been thinking about what happened between us,
24:06and, well, I understand how you must have felt.
24:08I don't think any mother would want
24:10her son to marry a prostitute.
24:12I know I wouldn't.
24:14That wasn't my objection, Randy.
24:16If Marty had known the truth and still wanted to marry you,
24:19I lied, but I panicked, Mrs. Morrison.
24:23I panicked because I really did love Marty,
24:25and I thought you were going to take him away from me.
24:29I just want you to know that I'm sorry.
24:33All right, Randy.
24:35Thank you for telling me.
24:41How are the interviews going?
24:43Well, this morning's lot turned up nothing,
24:45as expected.
24:47The police have been still sticking to their story
24:49that they were in the recreation room.
24:51I think the police are wasting their time.
24:53I was afraid that might happen.
24:55But we've got to do something, Meg.
24:57I mean, it's attempted murder.
24:59We can't just let it go.
25:01It'd be ridiculous.
25:03Well, unless Joan can tell the police more,
25:05I mean, I just don't see what we can do.
25:07Oh, well, I'd better go and get David.
25:09The women are due in the dining room.
25:11Well, thanks for keeping me up to date.
25:13Oh, sorry.
25:16Apparently, she just signed herself out.
25:18What? That could be dangerous.
25:20Of course it could.
25:22She could suffer permanent spine damage.
25:24But apparently, Frederick said he just couldn't stop her.
25:26Oh, I thought I'd let you know.
25:28Well, thanks, Scott.
25:30Did you know whether she went home or not?
25:32I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised
25:34if she wasn't on her way here.
25:36I hope she doesn't know more than she's been telling us.
25:38And I hope she doesn't intend to deal
25:40with her attackers personally.
25:42Mrs. Moss,
25:44I meant to ask you before.
25:46Do you think I could see Mrs. Reynolds sometime this afternoon?
25:48All right, I'll take you through after lunch.
25:50Oh, gosh, Mrs. Moss, I'm awfully sorry.
25:52I'm running late.
25:54I didn't hurt you, did I?
25:56No, Pixie, you didn't.
25:58Come on, go and join the entity.
26:00I tell you, we got it, May.
26:02Bloody cops don't know what's going on.
26:04What would you know?
26:06You haven't even seen them yet.
26:08Well, I've been talking to the other girls,
26:11and they're all stuck to that story we made up.
26:13That's how.
26:15Yeah, well, don't forget we didn't make it up.
26:17It was men's idea.
26:19Yeah, I know that.
26:21It's just that I reckon it's great
26:23to see the cops getting nowhere fast.
26:25That's all.
26:27Yes, the girls did very well,
26:29and I'm proud of them.
26:31Proud of them is?
26:33It was such a brilliant story
26:35and real top-dog material.
26:37Oh, I'm glad you think so, Sonia.
26:39Will?
26:41No, sir, there was no slackening of security.
26:43We always stick to departmental procedures.
26:45Well, excuse me, but...
26:47Come in.
26:49Yes, sir?
26:51Well, no, I'm sorry.
26:53That's not true.
26:55I put in a request for more staff four weeks ago.
26:57If you...
26:59Well, that's hardly my fault, is it?
27:03If you wish.
27:05Goodbye.
27:08Yes, the minister.
27:10Oh, well, I have Goodlove outside.
27:12We can come back later if you like.
27:14Oh, no, I may as well see her now.
27:18Goodlove?
27:22Yes, Goodlove,
27:24what can I do for you?
27:26I just wanted to pick up the receipt for my necklace.
27:28I'm sorry, I don't understand. What necklace?
27:30Oh, I don't suppose
27:32Mrs. Morris has had a chance to tell you yet.
27:34It's a really beautiful necklace,
27:37which is why I didn't hand it over when I came in here.
27:39I know I should have.
27:41Anyway, I realize now Mrs. Morris was right.
27:43Somebody might steal it, and I'd hate that to happen.
27:45Of course.
27:47Well, give it to me, and I'll have it put with your things.
27:49Oh, well, I haven't got it.
27:51I gave it to Mrs. Morris just before lunch.
27:53I beg your pardon?
27:55You did no such thing?
27:57Mrs. Morris, I did.
27:59You must remember, we talked about the diamond...
28:01I just don't forget diamond necklaces, Goodlove.
28:03This is ridiculous, Mrs. Riddles.
28:05What happened when you handed the necklace over?
28:07Well, nothing.
28:09Mrs. Morris put it in her pocket and walked away.
28:11You're up to something, Goodlove.
28:13Don't touch your pocket.
28:17Show me your hands.
28:19Over.
28:21Do you have any objection to Goodlove looking, Mrs. Morris?
28:23Of course not.
28:25I'm sorry about this, Mrs. Morris, but...
28:29It's gone. What the hell have you done with it?
28:31Are you sure there was a necklace?
28:34The other women saw it. Ask them.
28:36Where is it?
28:38You know bloody well it was in your pocket.
28:40Mrs. Reynolds, I want to undergo a body search and a locker search straight away.
28:42Yes.
28:44I think perhaps you should.
28:56All fixed.
28:58Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Ferguson.
29:00How long is this going to take?
29:02Now, you do understand about the caveat on your house.
29:04Just show me where to sign.
29:06Yes, yes, of course.
29:08There you are. Just sign next to the crosses.
29:12Money. Where's the money?
29:14No worries there.
29:16Everything's been cleared, so you'll have the check in your hand in half an hour.
29:18I want cash, please.
29:20Miss Ferguson,
29:22$10,000 is a lot of money.
29:2424% is a lot of interest.
29:26Now, do I sign these or not?
29:29Yes, yes, of course.
29:31If you'll excuse me,
29:33I'll get the accountant to draw on the check.
29:35Won't be a moment.
29:45You're not going to work, Wordsworth. Why don't you get out of the way?
29:47What's the matter with you?
29:49I'm not hurting anybody.
29:51Now, now, Lizzie, don't upset Sonia.
29:53She's a little worried about the police, aren't you, dear?
29:55Oh, don't, Minnie.
29:57I'm next.
29:59Well, I'm sure they're lovely men,
30:01but they sort of stare at you, don't they?
30:05Look at her.
30:07She's got a face like a well-smacked bun.
30:09What happened? What did you say to the police?
30:11Don't panic. I stuck to our story.
30:13Oh, then what's wrong, Randi? You look awfully upset.
30:15Wouldn't you be?
30:17Some bastard stole my necklace.
30:19Oh, jeez. Not that big, real diamond.
30:21How many necklaces do you think I've got in here?
30:23Served you right for flashing it around.
30:26Know who took it?
30:28Yes, I know.
30:30Yeah, well, you just tell us. We'll get it back for you.
30:32No way. That little pleasure is all mine.
30:34Excuse me, ladies. Cass, you're the next interviewed.
30:36Oh, but I thought I was, Mr Bridges.
30:38No, Pixie, I told them you were with me the whole time.
30:40Did you? Did you really?
30:42Oh, thank you.
30:44Good on you, Mr Bridges.
30:46You're a real good sport.
30:48Oh, thanks, Lizzie, but I only told them the truth.
30:50So what? You're her favourite officer,
30:52and I wouldn't be surprised
30:54if you helped Mary get over the wall
30:56when she tried to escape.
30:58No, I wouldn't go spreading that around if I were you.
31:00I'd lose my job.
31:02Go on, would you? I reckon you'd leave the gates open for all of us.
31:04You'd all be free then.
31:06Well, we'd better go, Cass.
31:08What did she just mean?
31:10Don't worry, dear. Cards, remember?
31:12You can do it.
31:14Yeah, cards.
31:16Rec Room, Sonia and Brenda.
31:18You know what?
31:20Hmm?
31:23He helped Mary get over the wall
31:25or else I'm a monkey's uncle.
31:27We've got it made.
31:35But that's incredible.
31:37Didn't your son have any idea at all?
31:39No. Oh, I'm not surprised.
31:41You should have seen the act she put on.
31:43All innocence and truth.
31:45Oh, she'd make a very good actress.
31:47And now she's got it in for you.
31:49But why this story about a diamond if it didn't exist?
31:52Well, I think it does.
31:54Yeah, well, the search didn't exist.
31:56Yes, I know. But didn't you see the look on her face?
31:58I mean, she really expected to find it.
32:00Now, I think there is something.
32:02I think we ought to organise a cell search.
32:04Oh, too risky.
32:06They're under a fair amount of pressure now.
32:08If we threw a cell search at them, we could have a riot on our hands.
32:10True. Well, what do you think we should do?
32:12Something as valuable as that
32:14is sure to cause trouble eventually.
32:16I think we should just keep our eyes open.
32:18Good afternoon, Anne Reynolds speaking.
32:22I see. Thank you.
32:24Goodbye.
32:26Damn.
32:28What's wrong?
32:30They're sending Judy Bryant back.
32:32She got five years.
32:48How are they handling the interview?
32:50Light and friendly?
32:52A little of both from what I've seen.
32:54I wouldn't worry too much. They're only doing their job.
32:56Who's worried? I'm married to a cop, remember?
32:58Oh, yes, of course.
33:00Makes me less than popular around here, in case you hadn't noticed.
33:02Are the women giving you trouble?
33:04Nothing I can't handle.
33:06I could quite like it in here if I could sneak in a few home comforts.
33:08But I need help.
33:10How would you sneak them in?
33:12I hear you're the helpful type.
33:14Let's face it.
33:16I need a friend.
33:19I don't know what it's like being locked away in here all the time.
33:23You shouldn't be.
33:25None of you should.
33:27The whole idea of prison is wrong.
33:31Would you like to be free?
33:33Sure.
33:35What are you going to do, open the front gate and give me my bus fee?
33:37No, because that wouldn't work.
33:41You're serious, aren't you?
33:43If you are.
33:45When?
33:47I'll let you know.
33:49Don't worry.
33:51It'll happen.
33:53Now, ladies, we have a situation here.
33:55Shall we say this is a bus stop?
33:57When suddenly a drunken old lady...
33:59Hey, not so much of the old lady.
34:01No, no.
34:03Sorry, dear.
34:05You don't object to being drunk?
34:07Of course not.
34:09I just wish I could be.
34:11Watch Lizzie closely, everyone,
34:13and see if you can pick her technique.
34:16Thank you, Lizzie.
34:18Oh, if I
34:20had the wings
34:22of an angel
34:24from these
34:26prison walls
34:28I would fly
34:32and I'd fly
34:34to the island.
34:36Hey, what the hell
34:38do you think you're doing?
34:40I'm stopping you from picking me pocket, you can't, can you?
34:42Of course I can't,
34:44this was supposed to show you how you do it.
34:46People don't do that when they're waiting for...
34:48Oh, jeez, Lizzie, what's the matter?
34:50Oh, me picker.
34:52Oh, God, it's hurting.
34:54Something's changed.
34:56You'd better lie down, Lizzie.
34:58Oh, jeez.
35:00You're brilliant,
35:02Lizzie.
35:04And I wasn't even trying.
35:06Oh, now,
35:08come on, just a minute.
35:10What's been going on?
35:13That wasn't very fair, Lizzie.
35:15I'm sorry, love, but I had a rotten customer.
35:17Oh, I get it.
35:19You mean you've done that just so you could...
35:21Yeah, it's gone.
35:25Here you are,
35:27Cassie.
35:29Here you are,
35:31Ronnie.
35:33Here you are, Elaine.
35:35And here you are, Freda.
35:37And you,
35:39where'd you get that?
35:42You bitch.
35:44It was you.
35:46Why the hell didn't you leave it in Morris' pocket?
35:48What was it doing there, Randy?
35:50Mrs. Morris minding it for you?
35:52Like hell.
35:54I had her nicely set up until this idiot went and ruined everything.
35:56All right, hand it over.
35:58No, I don't think so.
36:00You gave it away.
36:02You obviously didn't want it.
36:04Pixie very cleverly acquired it,
36:06and I think she should keep it.
36:08Everyone agree?
36:10You're going somewhere safe, weren't you?
36:22Yep.
36:24Who?
36:26I can't hear you.
36:28Joan Ferguson.
36:30Where the hell have you been? I've been trying to ring you all day.
36:32Getting the money.
36:34Now bring the tape over,
36:36and I'll give it to you.
36:39Stupid Ferguson, you bring it.
36:41I can't, Baxter. I'm not well.
36:43Well, tough lady.
36:45If you want that tape, you come here for it.
36:47I'm not walking into a house full of cops
36:49with a thing like that in my pocket.
36:51All right.
36:53Where do you live?
36:55A taxi will pick you up. You wait.
36:59Wally?
37:01Oh, hey, don't come in yet.
37:03What are you doing?
37:05Just a little something
37:07after a hard day at the office.
37:09Pre-dinner bubbly. Very posh.
37:11Not really. It's just domestic champagne, actually.
37:13I was going to make some
37:15horse's duvers for you, but you were too quick.
37:17How come you're home so early?
37:19Oh, well, I finished my paperwork,
37:21and let's say the place
37:23was just getting me down. Police all over the place
37:25and other things.
37:27Good thinking. Anything I can help with?
37:29I'm a good listener.
37:31I know. You're a rotten
37:33drink waiter, though.
37:36Oh, don't worry about that.
37:38Get me your glass.
37:40Oh, God, Wally.
37:42Look, you're soaking. Go and take your clothes off.
37:44God, you're subtle.
37:46Don't be dirty.
37:48Why not?
37:50Care to give me a hand?
37:52You will be gentle with me, won't you?
37:54Oh, Andrew, thank you.
37:56It's really lovely.
38:06I'm sorry.
38:08We can't put you back in your old dorm, Judy,
38:10but perhaps later on.
38:12Yeah, well, that doesn't matter, does it?
38:14At least I got my old uniform back.
38:16You know something?
38:18My name was still on the collar.
38:20They must have been expecting me.
38:22Come on, Judy. You mustn't give in.
38:24Yeah.
38:26I got so much to live for, huh?
38:28Ooh.
38:30Ooh.
38:32Ooh.
38:34Ooh.
38:38Judy?
38:40Will you get Joan Barfield, please?
38:46Here.
38:48Orange juice?
38:50Don't you believe it?
38:54Cheers.
39:00Ah.
39:03How are you feeling?
39:05A little more human.
39:07Amazing what that place can do to you.
39:11At least I can walk away from it.
39:13Judy can't.
39:15Oh, no, no, no, no.
39:17We discussed it.
39:19We're to help Judy, not feel sorry for her, right?
39:21Okay.
39:23Wouldn't like to sit in the governor's office for a while, would you?
39:25No, thank you.
39:27I'm having enough trouble in the kitchen.
39:29Oh, which reminds me.
39:31Where is it?
39:33Right hand cupboard by the stove.
39:35Right.
39:41No, oregano, but no thyme.
39:43Where else would it be?
39:47Anne?
39:51Hey, dreamer, where else...
39:53Oh, no, no, no, it's okay.
39:55It was hiding behind the puppet house.
39:58Who'd do a thing like that
40:00to poor little Pix?
40:02She wouldn't even harm a fly.
40:04I blame myself, really.
40:06I should have mined that necklace for her.
40:08Of course, Gordon.
40:10Dumb, I didn't even think of that.
40:12You mean somebody donned it
40:14just for a lousy diamond?
40:16Come off it.
40:18People have been donned for a lot less than that
40:20in this lousy dump.
40:22But how could they get rid of it?
40:24I mean, if it showed up,
40:27we'd have done it, wouldn't we?
40:29Well, why wait that long?
40:31What do you mean, Bobby?
40:33Well, it's got to be Randy, doesn't it?
40:35I mean, after all, it was her stuff.
40:37That's right, but I don't think
40:39she'd be as obvious as that.
40:41Any other suggestions?
40:43Oh, jeez, I don't know.
40:45I've stobbed people in,
40:47but Tracy Dixon was saying
40:49she'd do anything to own a diamond like that,
40:51and she wasn't joking either.
40:53You should have heard her.
40:55Yeah, oh, she must have gone to workshop instead.
40:57No, I just did a pick-up then.
40:59She wasn't there then.
41:01But somebody must have seen her.
41:03Couldn't have just vanished.
41:05Mary Adler did.
41:07First Mary,
41:09then Dixon.
41:11I reckon our friendly screw's been at work again.
41:13God, you're not stillin' about that, are ya?
41:15Why would he go to all that trouble
41:17just for us?
41:19Well, who cares? I'll tell you something for nothing.
41:21He can get me out of this dump any time he likes.
41:23Just name his price and I'm off.
41:53Baxter?
42:13Baxter?
42:23Baxter?
42:53He used to give me roses
42:55I wish he could again
42:57But that was on the outside
42:59And things were different then
43:01On the inside
43:03The sun still shines
43:05But I'm not sure
43:07I'm not sure
43:09I'm not sure
43:11I'm not sure
43:13I'm not sure
43:15I'm not sure
43:17I'm not sure
43:19I'm not sure
43:21The sun still shines
43:23And the rain
43:25Falls down
43:29But the sun and rain
43:31Are Christmas too
43:35When morning comes around
43:39Last night I dreamed
43:41We were together
43:45Sharing all the love
43:47We'd known
43:51Had to face the nightmare
43:55Awaken up alone
43:59On the inside
44:01The roses grow
44:03They don't mind
44:05The stony ground
44:09But the roses here
44:11Are Christmas too
44:15When morning comes around
