00:00I hope you don't mind me dropping in like this. Not at all, come in, come right in.
00:10Wally? You there?
00:40Major? Major?
01:06Major? Major?
01:18Major? Major?
01:44Major?
02:00Are you ready to go? Yes, thank God, I'm bushed.
02:03Listen, I wonder if you could do something for me on the way home?
02:07This doesn't sound too good. Yes, I'm sorry, I know I'm putting it on you,
02:10but I've just had a call from one of Joan's neighbours. I don't know which one,
02:13he didn't leave his name. What does he want?
02:16Well, sounds pretty odd, but apparently he's heard strange noises coming from her
02:20place and he thought we might like to check to see if she's okay.
02:24Why us? Why doesn't he go around and find out for himself?
02:27I think he has had neighbourly discussions with her before and been
02:30told to butt out. Who hasn't?
02:33I do need to know, Megan, because I have to change the rosters.
02:36Is that who you're trying to get now? Yeah, I can't get her.
02:39Doesn't sound too good. All right, then, I'll call in.
02:42Thanks, Meg. Yeah, I bet Joan doesn't thank me.
02:57Morning. Hi, Sam.
03:08Look, um, I'm sorry about last night. I was a bit under the weather.
03:15Really? Then, uh, sober we gotta try.
03:19Would be nice. But, uh, I've got a few things I've got to sort out.
03:24I understand. Do you, uh, want some breakfast?
03:28No, thanks. I'll, uh, I'll grab something later.
03:32Well, uh, you can grab something now if you'd like.
03:44I'll call you. Well, I hope so.
03:53So,
04:03so,
04:22Joan?
04:24My God, what happened?
04:30Joan, are you all right?
04:34My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my.
04:40My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my.
04:53My, my,
05:09I'm sorry. Who could have done a thing like that?
05:16Have you called the police?
05:22So,
05:43hello.
05:53Can I put the kettle on and make us a cuppa?
05:55I'm just about to leave.
05:57Do you have to rush?
05:59Well, I've got an appointment and I don't want to be late.
06:03I could use some company.
06:05I needed your company last night.
06:09Yeah, well, I, uh, I went out and I hung one on.
06:17And we've got to talk.
06:19I've got to go, Wally. Now.
06:21Bye.
06:41She'll be out in a minute, Inspector. She's just cleaning up.
06:43Right.
06:45This door's been forced, all right.
06:47One of the frame dusted for prints.
06:51How did you come to find her?
06:53I got a phone call at the prison from a neighbour.
06:55Leave a name?
06:57I'll ask around.
06:59You've called an ambulance?
07:01No, no, the prison doctor's on his way over.
07:03Does she have any, uh, known enemies?
07:05Inspector, we're prison officers.
07:07We've all got enemies.
07:09In fact,
07:11she was actually hanged by some of the inmates
07:13the other day.
07:15Badly hurt?
07:17Bad enough, but nothing permanent.
07:19Not yet.
07:21Could be our answer.
07:23Easy enough to go off the deep end
07:25after a shock like that.
07:27Done all this herself, you mean?
07:29Oh, no way, Inspector.
07:31Joan wouldn't hurt that dog. She idolised him.
07:33Maybe. We've got to check every angle.
07:37Any chance she could have, uh,
07:39taken something to help her relax?
07:41If you mean drugs,
07:43you're wrong again.
07:45Miss Ferguson was totally against the use of drugs.
07:47Right.
07:49Well, I guess there's nothing else
07:51for her but to see what she can tell us.
07:59That's no good, Cass.
08:01I can't. You can't what?
08:03I can't go and face all them women.
08:05Not after all the things I've said and done.
08:07You'll be okay, Bobbie.
08:09Oh, come on. Why would they want anything to do with me?
08:11They'll probably beat the crap out of me.
08:13No, no, they're real nice, most of them.
08:15Have a good afternoon.
08:17Come on, Bobbie, you've got to face it.
08:19No way you're going to make it in a joint like this as if you've got mates.
08:21Now, you just tell them you want to be friends,
08:23you're sorry for all your tricks,
08:25and you're going to feel a lot better.
08:27It's no good, Cass. Who'd want me?
08:29Ah, they will.
08:31Like Min says, we've got to stick together in here
08:33because we're all we've got.
08:35Do you reckon they'll listen to me?
08:37Yeah, sure they will, especially with me standing behind you.
08:39Come on, mate.
08:42Oh!
08:44Sorry, Pitsy, don't hit me, champ.
08:46Please don't hit me.
08:50Now, listen here, everybody.
08:52Bobbie has got something she wants to say to you.
08:54Haven't you?
08:56Yeah, well, I reckon that...
08:58Not very articulate, are you?
09:00You drop it, son. You give that kid a chance.
09:02Come on.
09:04I just want to say that I know I've been in a great pain in the bum.
09:07I'm so sorry.
09:09Well, well said, Bobbie.
09:11I must say, your choice of eye shadow was stunning.
09:14I didn't exactly choose it.
09:16Oh, poor little thing.
09:18I can't tell you how sorry I am.
09:20I'm not really a violent person anymore.
09:22Oh, I'd hate to be around if you decide to change.
09:25She's right, Pits.
09:27I got all the things that I deserved,
09:29and I never should have met your diamond.
09:31Her diamond? Oh, well, it is now.
09:33Yeah, and I wouldn't argue if I was you.
09:35That Pits has got a real mean punch.
09:37Pixie Mason, the Wentworth Bolivar.
09:39I'll tell you what we'll do.
09:41We'll organise some matches
09:43with some of the world champions from the other prison, huh?
09:45Oh, no thanks, Judy.
09:47Well, much as I enjoyed the flash of victory,
09:49well, it's not much fun hitting people.
09:51No.
09:53I might say I deserve it anyway.
09:55Don't worry, Claudia.
09:57I think it's very brave of you...
09:59I left the plane.
10:02Oh!
10:05Where's Major?
10:07You haven't taken him away, have you?
10:09No, he's in the laundry.
10:11I know you're feeling rough, Miss Ferguson,
10:13but I've a few more questions I've got to ask you.
10:15Look, all I know is they came in here,
10:17grabbed me,
10:19and they put something in my mouth.
10:21Obviously a drug.
10:23Any idea who might have done this?
10:25If I knew,
10:27I wouldn't be sitting here.
10:29Your Inspector Thorne
10:31was obviously right.
10:33It appears there's a contract out on me.
10:37Well,
10:39we're looking to every angle, Miss Ferguson,
10:41but if it was a contract out on you,
10:43I doubt it they'd be messing around.
10:47I think you should make a thorough
10:49check of your belongings
10:51in case robbery was the motive.
10:53All right, all right, I'll check.
10:55Is that all?
10:57I'd like you to call in
10:59at the station and make a full statement.
11:03Thanks, Mrs Morris.
11:05Hope you can find out who did this.
11:07Not pretty.
11:11I think you should stay with her for a while.
11:13Yes, I will.
11:15Thanks.
11:27Joan,
11:29why don't you take those tablets
11:31Scott gave you and go to bed?
11:35Too much to do.
11:37You can't go back to work, can you?
11:39I can't stay here.
11:43I'll get some coffee.
12:13Ah, Mrs Reynolds.
12:15Is something the matter?
12:17It's just that I always see Dr Baskin.
12:19He's been called out on an emergency,
12:21I'm afraid. I'm Dr Taylor.
12:23Take a seat, won't you?
12:27Ah.
12:29Now,
12:31what seems to be the problem?
12:33It's, um...
12:37I don't quite know how to...
12:39I understand.
12:41It's often very difficult to confide
12:43in a doctor you haven't met before.
12:45Just take your time. Relax.
12:47Hmm.
12:49Involved in a very difficult
12:51work situation, I see.
12:53Yes, it can be a bit torrid at times.
12:55But I'm just
12:57not coping as well
12:59as usual. I'm...
13:01edgy, depressed.
13:03Well, you've got to remember, you're coming to an age
13:05where you'll start going through menopausal changes.
13:07Of course.
13:09I hadn't thought of that.
13:11Are there any physical symptoms?
13:13Any pain or discomfort?
13:15No, no. I feel quite fit physically.
13:17All right.
13:19Well, try on these for now,
13:21and if they don't work,
13:23we'll take a closer look later.
13:29And really, there's no need to worry, Mrs Reynolds.
13:31It's all quite natural, and only temporary.
13:33Of course.
13:39Brains and good looks.
13:41If anyone can get me off, Sam will do it.
13:43Hey, you reckon what?
13:45Eh?
13:47I was saying, I reckon Sam will prove I've been set up.
13:49Oh, I sure hope so, mate.
13:51Where were you, anyway?
13:53Just a bit tired, I guess.
13:57Hello, Paul.
13:59I speak of the devil.
14:01Oh, be nice, come on.
14:03The police want to see you down at the station right away.
14:05What for?
14:07Paul, are you absolutely certain that you've told me
14:09everything to do with your case?
14:11Yeah, I'm sure I've covered everything.
14:13Well, we're in big trouble.
14:15The police are claiming to have a witness to support the charges.
14:51Take your time. Is it tense?
14:53Yeah, sure.
15:03Well?
15:05That's him.
15:07Hey, come on.
15:09Shut up, Reynolds. You'll get your chance later.
15:11Right, let's get that stipend.
15:17She alleges here that you offered her $200
15:19if she'd remove her clothing.
15:21But she's lying.
15:23She's made the whole thing up, Inspector.
15:25She further alleges that you asked her to strike a series of
15:27poses with a view to taking obscene photographs of her.
15:29But she's lying.
15:31She's mixed me up with someone else.
15:33Hell, Inspector, I've never taken...
15:35Yes, she is.
15:37That's one of the ones found on your premises. Still deny it?
15:39Of course I do. I've told you, they're not my pictures.
15:41Oh, come on, Inspector. It's a set-up.
15:43It stinks of it.
15:45We've all heard that before, haven't we, Miss Russell?
15:50Come in.
15:52I just thought I'd let you know
15:54Jones signed in.
16:01You all right?
16:03Oh, yes, I'm fine, thanks, Colleen.
16:05Just worn down by all this.
16:07What I need is some of Jones' stamina, I think.
16:09Yeah, well, she surprised even me
16:11when she walked in.
16:13That dog was practically a reason for living.
16:15I know.
16:17I know. Must have been dreadful for her.
16:19Now, to really make your day,
16:21good love's outside.
16:23All right, show her in.
16:27Come on.
16:33Yes, what is it?
16:35I want to know what action the Department's taken
16:37over my stolen diamond.
16:39The diamond you say was stolen.
16:41It's the truth.
16:43But I expect the Department to do something about it.
16:45You realize that bringing an item of personal jewelry
16:47into the jail was against regulations, don't you?
16:49That doesn't give anyone the right to steal it.
16:51True. But it does mean
16:53we only have your word for its existence.
16:55I showed it to some
16:57of the other women.
16:59A rather foolish thing to do, I should have thought.
17:01Oh, come on.
17:03You can't start suggesting someone else
17:05took it. It was Mrs. Morris. I gave it to her.
17:07All right, good love.
17:09I'll arrange a full investigation
17:11if you're willing to take that chance.
17:13That's exactly what I want, Mrs. Reynolds.
17:15Hello, Gordon.
17:41The worst.
17:43There goes our Miss Denz now.
17:45Are you sure you don't know her?
17:47No, but I'm going to.
17:49We've got to talk to her and find out why she's doing these things.
17:51No, Paul. It would be downright stupid.
17:53She could claim harassment and really
17:55get the book thrown at you.
17:57And what do you call what's happened already?
17:59I know, Paul, but hassling her now won't help.
18:01She's probably being really well paid
18:03to lie to the police.
18:13Are you sure you haven't seen her before?
18:15Absolutely.
18:17That bloke would have looked kind of familiar.
18:19Yeah, I was thinking that myself.
18:21I'm sure I've seen him recently.
18:23Where?
18:25You know, that bloke came in the shop the other day.
18:27Wanted you to photograph his sister's wedding.
18:29That's right.
18:31That's him. And the break-in was right after.
18:33That bastard.
18:35Are you sure?
18:37You bet I am.
18:39Is him all right?
18:41Now we've got something on our side.
18:47Get in here!
18:49I don't know what this is all about.
18:51Shut up, Stephens.
18:53I want answers.
18:55Now, last night some thugs broke into my house,
18:57drugged me and killed my dog.
18:59I want to know who they were.
19:01That dog was the only thing I cared about on this earth.
19:03And someone is going to pay dearly.
19:11Try your tricks with me, Stephens.
19:13Nothing is going to get you out of this one.
19:15If it wasn't me, I had nothing to do with it.
19:17Yeah.
19:19It was all tied up with the blackmailing business, wasn't it?
19:21And you certainly know all about that.
19:25I was trying to hear what she arranged.
19:27Oh, yeah?
19:29Tell me more.
19:31She's tied up with the fellows gang.
19:33She's producing fake driver's licenses in here
19:35and trading them for dope for the fellows.
19:37The blackmail was to stop you interfering with the supply.
19:39It's the truth. I swear it.
19:41It better be.
19:47Don't tell Hewitt, for God's sake.
19:49But I told you,
19:51she could quite easily get this on her small one to me.
19:53You just do as you're told, Stephens.
19:55And you'll have nothing to worry about.
19:57Now get back to work
19:59and send Hewitt to me.
20:01And what am I going to tell her?
20:03With your mind,
20:05I'm sure you'll think of something.
20:07Now you get up here
20:09in five minutes.
20:11Right? Now move!
20:25If I were you, good love,
20:27I'd watch out for myself.
20:29I've been doing that for years.
20:31Yeah, maybe.
20:33But trying to set up Mrs. Morris,
20:35she does her friends on both sides of the bars.
20:37Get to work.
20:43Well, well, Mr. Bridges.
20:45And where are you off to, Randy?
20:47Oh, the laundry. Did you have to remind me?
20:49Yeah, I agree. It's a pretty depressing place.
20:51The whole of Wentworth is depressing.
20:53You're right. A girl like you shouldn't even be in here.
20:55My sentiments exactly.
20:57But the magistrate didn't agree.
20:59That's the trouble with this world.
21:01Very few people have any real understanding.
21:03I've heard that
21:05you can be very understanding.
21:07Really?
21:09What else have you heard?
21:11The word is you've been helping people to escape.
21:13And I thought that was a secret.
21:15You mean it's true.
21:17Shh.
21:19We don't want everyone to hear, do we?
21:21Oh, God, you're amazing.
21:23Just sympathetic.
21:25I'm not sympathetic.
21:27You're amazing.
21:29Actually, I was waiting here for Stephen
21:31as she was to be the next one.
21:33Sonia?
21:35She's running very late, though.
21:39Would you like to take her place?
21:41You mean you'd help me dig it out?
21:43Sure.
21:45But you'll have to decide now.
21:47Oh, hell, why not?
21:49A girl needs a little excitement in her life.
21:51She does indeed. Come on.
21:53Where are we going?
21:55Just think of it as a magic carpet.
22:21What the hell?
22:23You wrecked the dorm, Hewitt!
22:25Me?
22:27You did, didn't you, Hewitt?
22:29Didn't you, Hewitt?
22:31I told you that's what you want.
22:33It's not what I want, Hewitt.
22:35It's what happened, isn't it?
22:37All right, I did it.
22:39You know, Hewitt, I don't think you can stay
22:41in the strain of prison life.
22:43You're cracking.
22:45You're not in a fit state to mix with the other prisoners.
22:47You're much too dangerous, Hewitt.
22:49I think you should be put away somewhere on your own
22:51Save your energy, Hewitt.
22:55You're going to isolation.
23:09Would you believe another drama?
23:11What is it this time?
23:13Hewitt went into hysterics and wrecked her cell.
23:15She's been put into isolation.
23:17Lord, what brought that on?
23:19According to Joan, she's gone stir-crazy.
23:21I wouldn't have thought she was the type.
23:23The Scots, you know?
23:25He's with her now. She certainly looked a mess.
23:27Well, I'll wait for the report
23:29and then order a psychiatric evaluation.
23:31She might just be
23:33bucking for a move to somewhere more pleasant.
23:35Wouldn't be the first one to try.
23:39We've inducted a new prisoner.
23:43What is she?
23:45A revolutionary
23:47or just a hard case?
23:49Well, she's unusual anyway.
23:51Belinda Margaret Johns.
23:53Convicted on charges of
23:55possession of and dealing in
23:57illegal firearms.
23:59Fun-loving type, obviously.
24:01And it should be interesting
24:03to see how she settles into life at Wentworth.
24:07What haven't you told me?
24:09She's blind.
24:17Come on now, just straight ahead.
24:21Now, this is your bed, Johns.
24:23The head is to your left.
24:27What's this?
24:29Oh, that's a bedside cabinet for your personal things.
24:31Don't worry.
24:33Don't worry.
24:35You'll be sharing with Judy Bryant.
24:37You'll find her very helpful.
24:39Well, I don't want to be a drag on anyone.
24:41Of course not.
24:43They told me when I went blind
24:45that I needed a census to compensate.
24:47Oh, how long ago was that?
24:49About a year.
24:51Seems to be taking quite a while, though.
24:53Well, how are you settling in?
24:55Apart from wrecking the place, not too bad.
24:57Who's that?
24:59I'm Mrs Powell, the Deputy Governor.
25:01Well, I shall get to know you all
25:03by your voices soon enough.
25:05I was told to move in here.
25:07Yeah, that's right, Bryant.
25:09This is Belinda Johns.
25:11You'll be sharing.
25:13Hello, Judy.
25:15Well, don't worry about it.
25:17It's not catching.
25:19I'm sorry. It's just there was a bit of a shock.
25:21That's all I understand.
25:23Yes, well, we thought you might help Johns settle in
25:25and introduce her to the other women.
25:27Yeah, of course. I'll be happy to.
25:29Okay, Johns, well, good luck.
25:31If there is anything you do need to know, just ask.
25:33Thanks, Mrs Powell. I will.
25:35Well, sit down.
25:43Hello, Mrs Williams.
25:45Hello.
25:47How did you get on with Hewitt?
25:49Well, she was in a highly nervous state.
25:51I've given her a mild sedative.
25:53I don't think she should be questioned for a while.
25:55It'd only agitate her further.
25:57Should she stay in isolation?
25:59Oh, I don't think it'll hurt for her to be alone for a while.
26:01I'll pop in and see how she is tonight before I leave.
26:03Good.
26:05Oh, how are you getting on with the breast examinations?
26:07Slowly.
26:09I've examined six of the women so far.
26:11Any problems?
26:13Well, Fisher has a small lump,
26:15and I'd like her to go into hospital for a mammogram.
26:17Well, give me the details and I'll arrange it.
26:19What exactly is a mammogram?
26:21Sounds like one of those crazy greetings telegrams.
26:23Actually, it's an X-ray technique
26:25designed to expose any foreign masses in the breast.
26:27Can it tell if they're malignant?
26:29It's not that simple.
26:31It can't diagnose cancer.
26:33I see.
26:35Now, don't tell me your interest in this subject
26:37is purely academic.
26:41I have found a lump.
26:43Would you mind examining it for me?
27:05Feeling better, Hewitt?
27:07I'm all right.
27:11Good.
27:25Because I'd hate to see you get violent again, Hewitt.
27:29Because then I'd have to use force.
27:31I need to control you now.
27:35I have no intention of becoming violent,
27:37Miss Ferguson.
27:39That's very good, Hewitt.
27:41Because I want some answers
27:43to some questions.
27:45And they'd better be
27:47the right answers,
27:49otherwise I'll consider you
27:51very violent in death!
27:53That's all you want to know?
27:55It's all I want to know.
27:57I want to hear you very violent in death!
27:59That's all you want to know?
28:01It was you who arranged to have me blackmailed
28:03over that tape, wasn't it?
28:05Wasn't it?
28:07I want to hear you say it
28:09loud and clear.
28:11All right, it was me!
28:13No.
28:17Where did you get your information?
28:23That is none of your business.
28:27What I want to know is
28:29why you did it.
28:31You know the game,
28:33Miss Ferguson.
28:35Anyone who wants to stay in business in a place like this
28:37has to cover their back.
28:39It's a pity you're not
28:41covered anymore.
28:43It'd be a mistake to take it out on me.
28:45I could arrange a nasty visit for you on the outside.
28:57Right. Next question, Hewitt.
28:59How do you get in contact
29:01with the Fellows gang?
29:03Through the prison radio system we use a code word.
29:05Bulldog!
29:07Oh, that's very appropriate, Hewitt.
29:09Because when I get hold of something
29:11I never let go!
29:13Give me a chance I can get it off your back.
29:15You'll do exactly as I say,
29:17Hewitt.
29:19You'll use that code word again.
29:21But this time you'll arrange
29:23a meeting between
29:25the Fellows and me.
29:27Not one of his lackeys.
29:29That could be
29:31dangerous for you.
29:35You let me
29:37worry about that.
29:39You just arrange the meeting.
29:41Otherwise
29:45no one
29:47is going to ever want to
29:49look at that
29:51face
29:53again.
30:11Look, Anne, there's a very
30:13good possibility that it's no more than a fibroid cyst.
30:15Many women develop them,
30:17especially as they approach middle age.
30:19But it could be the big one.
30:21Yes, it could be. But I think you should
30:23wait and see before you let your imagination run wild.
30:25It's a possibility
30:27that has to be faced.
30:29I'm afraid so.
30:31Why didn't you see your own doctor about this?
30:33I tried to, but he'd been
30:35called away.
30:37I know it was stupid,
30:39but I couldn't face
30:41talking about something so potentially serious
30:43with a total stranger
30:45fresh out of med school.
30:47I know how you feel.
30:49It's a woman's natural fear
30:51is the greatest problem we face about this.
30:53Now, what's your
30:55doctor's name?
30:57Baskin.
30:59Ah, yes, I know him. He was very well known at the hospital
31:01where I did my internship.
31:05What happens now?
31:07Well, I'll give you this report
31:09to give to him.
31:11He'll probably want to confirm the lump with a mammogram
31:13and then have you
31:15go to hospital for a biopsy
31:17depending on the result.
31:19No, Scott, please.
31:21I don't want to know unless it's absolutely essential.
31:29And where are you ladies off to?
31:31We're just on our way to ourselves to freshen up,
31:33Mr. Bridges.
31:35All right.
31:39Off you go.
31:48Actually, there was something I wanted to talk to you about.
31:50Do you mind?
31:52All right. What is it?
31:54When you realized I was unable to make the appointment,
31:56you saw Ferguson had me bailed out.
31:58Yes, I'm sorry about that, Sonia,
32:00but that little mishap cost you your chance.
32:02But it wasn't my fault.
32:04Perhaps, but everything was arranged.
32:06I had to let someone else go.
32:08You will get me out of here, won't you?
32:10It's possible.
32:12When?
32:14This whole thing's very dangerous,
32:16Stevens.
32:18Look, I've got to go.
32:20Wait.
32:22How will you work it?
32:24You must be more patient, more discreet.
32:26If they find out what I'm doing,
32:28you'll never get a chance.
32:30I'll be in touch.
32:34Now, don't you worry about nothing, Belinda.
32:36We'll keep an eye out for you.
32:38What Cass is trying to say is
32:40we'll all do our best to help you.
32:42Yeah, I thought that.
32:44Oh, heavens, you do pick up voices quickly, don't you?
32:47Sometimes.
32:49Yeah, well, you couldn't miss with that one.
32:51She stands like a cat peeing on a tin roof.
32:53Shut up, you rude bugger.
32:55At least she doesn't have to look at your ugly mug all day
32:57like all the rest of us do.
32:59Well, this seems to be a happy little gathering.
33:01Oh, good day, Mr Bridges.
33:03We're just showing Belinda the ropes.
33:05We haven't met yet. Why don't you introduce us, Lizzie?
33:07All right, Mr Bridges, this is Belinda Johns.
33:09Mr Bridges, you'll be able to tell him easy
33:11because his voice is much more masculine than Phyllis's.
33:14It's never nice to meet anyone in here, Johns,
33:16but I'll do what I can to help.
33:18Thank you, Mr Bridges.
33:20He will, too.
33:22He's one of the good screws round here.
33:24Oh, we'll have to take your word for it, Parker.
33:26Can't wait to try him myself.
33:28All means officer, Mr Bridges.
33:30Oh, really, Cass?
33:32You'll ruin his reputation if you go around saying that.
33:34I know what you mean, Cass. It's all right.
33:36Minu, you've got to see the governor.
33:38Oh, right-o.
33:40See you later, dear.
33:44Well, it looks as though you've met just about everybody.
33:46Are you sure?
33:48Oh, I said Pix and Bobby.
33:50And Sonia and Brenda.
33:52I said the ones that she'd like to meet.
33:54We'll be doing her a service
33:56if we keep her away from those two buggers.
33:58They're as thick as thieves, love,
34:00and up to no good.
34:02You take my word for it.
34:04You just stick by me, and I'll look after you.
34:10Good evening, Mrs Reynolds.
34:12Anything wrong?
34:14Sit down, please.
34:18I thought I'd better see you, Donovan,
34:20since you seem to be the spokesperson for the women.
34:22You'll be pleased to know that the police have decided
34:24not to charge anyone over the attempted murder of Miss Ferguson.
34:28That will be something of a relief to everyone.
34:31Everyone except the police and Miss Ferguson.
34:34What it amounts to is that they have a fine collection of suspects,
34:37but no hard evidence.
34:39But you can also tell the women
34:41that that matter is not forgotten.
34:43In fact, the department
34:45has ordered the suspension of all privileges indefinitely.
34:48All privileges?
34:50No, we know buy-up, work release, or monthly open days.
34:54Yeah, well, it's something we haven't had to contend with before,
34:57but, oh, I don't think it'll pose any more problems than a wheelchair.
35:00You're discussing our Miss Johns?
35:02An amazing lady, isn't she? So much confidence.
35:05Yes, I mean, I thought blind people
35:07needed either a stick or a dog to get themselves about,
35:10and apparently these dogs become so close to the blind...
35:13Cheryl! I have a report to finish.
35:16Oh, Joan, I am sorry. That was senseless of me.
35:19I mean, so soon after you're losing your little dog and everything, I...
35:22It amazes me how anyone could do such a thing.
35:24Well, it doesn't do thinking about it.
35:26Yeah, well, I don't think we could finish this.
35:32That's the report you asked for.
35:37Something wrong? No. Why should there be?
35:40I can think of a number of reasons.
35:43Don't worry, Governor.
35:45I'm not about to let my personal problems interfere with the way I do my work.
35:49I realise that, but you have been through rather a traumatic time lately.
35:53They won't weigh me down.
35:55I'm sure they never will.
35:57But don't you think you should consider what it's costing you?
35:59If you want me to resign, say it.
36:01I hadn't even thought about it.
36:03But you've been through a lot here.
36:05I was wondering if you'd given any thought
36:08to applying for a transfer to somewhere less demanding.
36:11No, I haven't, and I'm not about to.
36:13Although I'm quite sure I'd get no opposition from my so-called fellow officers.
36:18I was only considering your welfare.
36:21But you've obviously decided to stay here, so we'll leave it at that.
36:25Now, would you send good love to me, please?
36:27The department's made a decision about the diamond incident.
36:34Is there something else?
36:36Yes, Governor.
36:39I want you to know that I will not be frightened,
36:43conned, or threatened into leaving Wentworth.
36:47Now, you can just pass that on to your staff
36:52and to the prisoners.
36:54Ferguson is at Wentworth for a long time yet.
37:04This is one time, dear.
37:06You won't want your sense of smell too highly developed.
37:09Oh, go on.
37:11Mrs. O'Regan makes a really good stew.
37:14She knows how to make it stick to your sides.
37:24That's good, love.
37:26I've no idea. She could be rusting her necks.
37:28It's a good thing.
37:30I've no idea. She could be rusting her necks.
37:33It's typical of the way this place is run.
37:36Keep it up. You'll fit in very well.
37:42Now, from here up, Linda, put your hands out. There's your tucker.
37:45Now, come on. We're going down this way.
37:47Here we go. Now, just down here.
37:49That's it. Just down here.
37:51Now, there's a chair right there.
37:53And the table's right in front of you. See?
37:55There you go.
37:57That's it. Good on you.
38:07What sort of meat is this?
38:09Just think yourself lucky you never met the kitchen cat.
38:12Fellas, that's not fair.
38:14Nothing I think fair.
38:16Well, whatever it is, I reckon it's real nice.
38:18Oh, God, you eat it so quickly, you wouldn't even notice the taste.
38:23Well, here goes.
38:26Don't suppose they're all about to poison us?
38:28Don't you believe it?
38:31No, I agree with you, Lizzie. It's quite tasty.
38:34There, see?
38:35I just gave to show you she's got more than one handy cat.
38:38Fellas, if you don't stop being so rude, I suggest you move somewhere else.
38:42Yeah, you've got no respect for people's feelings, fellas.
38:44Look, it's all right.
38:46One thing you develop quickly in my position is a thick skin.
38:50Is there anyone in here I haven't met in the rec room?
38:53Ah, well, only Sonia Stevens, and you wouldn't want to meet her.
38:57Why not?
38:58She's blind.
39:00Look, I appreciate you all looking out for me, but I do like to make up my own mind about people.
39:06Well said, Belinda.
39:09Although I doubt you'll find her any nicer than we have, dear.
39:13Cass, why don't you take her over now just for a moment?
39:16Oh, yeah. All right. Come on, Belinda.
39:19Here we are. Here I am.
39:21Now, watch it. Now, watch out for them chairs.
39:24Now, sit. Sit down here.
39:27Good, that Belinda's got guts.
39:30I bet you wouldn't catch her grizzling the way some people do.
39:38You're quite right, Lizzie.
39:40A tragedy can either make you or break you.
39:44G'day, Sonia.
39:46This is Belinda. She wants to meet you.
39:49Lucky her.
39:51Well, what's the matter? Am I that hard to face?
39:54Geez, give her a go, Sonia. She can't see.
39:57That's unfortunate, but we all have our problems.
40:00It's all right. I'm getting used to it.
40:03What are you doing here, Sonia?
40:06Apart from waiting to get out of here, I work in the laundry. Why?
40:09Oh, it just helps me to visualize people if I know what sort of work they do.
40:13Don't be fooled. I'm not your average washerwoman.
40:19I'm sure you're not, Sonia.
40:22Did you check right through the block?
40:24Of course, Governor. She hasn't been seen for hours.
40:26Sounds like we've got another escape in our hands.
40:29Have all the women taken to the recreation room for a headcount, Miss Ferguson.
40:32Yes, Governor.
40:34Well, I don't know how they're doing it. Security's never been tighter.
40:38Well, I don't understand why Goodlove would want to escape in the first place.
40:41She's only got three weeks to sit.
40:43Let's hope it's a false alarm.
40:45She could be in some back corridor cooking up another scheme to get me.
40:49Well, let's hope you're right.
40:51In the meantime, organize a search of the entire prison and the grounds.
40:54I'll supervise a headcount.
40:56Right.
41:08Be quiet!
41:11Right. Now keep it that way.
41:29What's going on, Minnie?
41:31I can't be sure. My guess is they think someone's escaped.
41:35Well, all the women on my list are present, Mrs Reynolds.
41:39Only Goodlove is missing.
41:41Brandy's escaped. Goodlove's escaped.
41:44Goodlove's escaped. Goodlove's escaped.
41:46Good on her.
41:48She was only in for three weeks for soliciting. Where's the point?
41:51Quiet!
41:53All right, ladies, you're all confined to the recreation room until further orders.
41:57What if I want to go to the dunning?
42:00You can bake it, Birdsworth.
42:09What's next?
42:11The storeroom.
42:13Mind you, why anybody would be hiding in there is beyond me.
42:16I agree. Still, as you say, we've got to check everywhere.
42:21These searchers. They're always so damn futile.
42:26Right. Nothing.
42:29OK, boiler room next. Let's get on with it.
42:32Look, would you like me to do that?
42:34You could check on Mrs O'Shea and Miss Radcliffe if you like.
42:36Oh, will I?
42:39You've won me.
42:41Thanks.
43:39Oh, my God!
44:09And things were different then
44:12On the inside the sun still shines
44:17And the rain falls down
44:22But the sun and rain are Christmas too
44:28When morning comes around
44:32Last night I dreamed we were together
44:38Sharing all the love we've known
44:43Till I had to face the nightmare
44:49Of waking up alone
44:52On the inside the roses grow
44:57They don't mind the stone we ground
45:02But the roses here are Christmas too
45:07When morning comes around
