00:01We've got to go and help him, Kev!
00:03Well, bloody likely. What sort of chance do you think we have?
00:05Oh, nice mate, you are!
00:07Well, what are we going to do?
00:09We're going to do exactly what Gary would have done in this spot.
00:11We'll grab the money and piss off out of here before she comes back for us.
00:13And her old man's probably called the cops by now, too.
00:15You mean you just walk out of here and let him get blown away?
00:18You'd better face it, Greb. That's what he had planned for you, babe.
00:22He wouldn't.
00:25He loves me.
00:27I don't believe you! He wouldn't do that to me!
00:29He wouldn't! He wouldn't! He wouldn't!
00:34Come on, babe. We've got to get out of here.
00:37Now, are you ready to tackle those books again?
00:41Okay. Go get your John and Betty.
00:43It's not like learning to read. It's merely learning the alphabet through your fingers.
00:47No big deal at all.
00:49Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:51Anyway, it's been pretty interesting so far.
00:58Look, an old man. He's alive.
01:01Don't take the word of a criminal. You're all animals.
01:05I swear to God, he is. He's alive.
01:08June!
01:27June!
01:42Yeah, obviously in the right place, but look at that kitchen.
01:45You reckon they've still got the hostages, Willie?
01:47It's hard to say.
01:49Hello. Looks like we might get some answers.
01:51Miss Ferguson!
01:54Miss Ferguson, are you all right?
01:56I'm Major Ferguson, the one who called you.
01:59One of the kidnappers has been shot. He's back there.
02:02I think he's dead.
02:03See to it, Sparks.
02:04Now, you'd better sit down somewhere, Miss Ferguson.
02:06What about the others?
02:07Oh, a sign of anyone when we arrived.
02:09What happened?
02:10Well, I...
02:11Well, rather unfortunate, I'm afraid.
02:14We'd managed to get the gun, but he tried to get it back from me.
02:19Caused it to fire, and he was in the way.
02:22Yeah. Well, we'll be taking statements down the station.
02:25Now, is there anything you can tell us about where the other two might be?
02:28A make of car, perhaps?
02:30Yeah, it was a cream Nissan four-wheel drive.
02:34I'm not too sure of the registration number.
02:37It's H-E-X something.
02:39Ah, that's a good start. I'll get someone on to it.
02:41Can't be too far.
02:42Sergeant, my father needs medical attention.
02:46Yeah, I'll see to that just as soon as I've radioed through these details.
02:49Now, you two just rest, eh?
02:51You look like you've been through a bit.
02:56Oh, it's not fair. We always got to go.
02:58Just when a movie was getting interesting.
03:00An escapee from Wentworth Detention Centre, 19-year-old Rebecca Keane...
03:04Hey, hey, hey, it's Rev, everybody!
03:06Shut up!
03:08Oh, for heaven's sake!
03:10Who let us take the corner or not?
03:12Well, it's not my fault. Some stupid duffer ran the cord around the front.
03:15You're a stupid duffer, and here is you.
03:16For God's sake, would you like to shut up?
03:18If you want to know what happened to Rev, put the bloody cord back in!
03:21Well, thank you, Judy. That's what I was going to do.
03:23That's what I was going to do, and you're studying yelling!
03:25Hurry up!
03:29Oh, now you've made us miss it, you stupid cow!
03:32Just leave her alone. Phil's sick as an axe.
03:34Yeah, go suck an egg, Phil.
03:36What the hell's the matter with you lot tonight?
03:38What do you reckon? I'm out of fags since yesterday.
03:40Well, me neither. You smoked the last one I had.
03:42You think you've got problems? I've been out of Rolex for days, and now my batteries are flat.
03:45Look, it's not the end of the world, is it?
03:47Now, either shut up and watch the telly, or go to your cells and contemplate your navels.
03:52Now I'm going to dorm.
03:53Bet you can't find your navel with that roll of fat you've got.
03:55Where are you going, Belinda?
03:57To the library. I left my study sheet there.
04:05Well, what do you know?
04:06What?
04:07Belinda getting stuck into the braille.
04:10Must be more to it than that. I wouldn't believe anything she says.
04:19Wait a minute.
04:20I want to talk to you.
04:21What do you want?
04:22Miss Manning, I gave Donovan.
04:24I want it back before Belinda gets a grubby little pause on it.
04:26Don't talk crap. I didn't give nothing to Donovan.
04:28Then how come she found it so easily?
04:30How the hell should I know? I don't give a stuff as long as I'm not caught with it.
04:34I do hunt, and I want it back in my hand before it's firmly embedded in my brain.
04:39Get it yourself.
04:43What are you two up to? Fighting to overthrow the government? Have an early night?
04:47Just going to the rec room, Mr Manning. I left me book there.
04:49You better get a move on. It's nearly lock up.
04:53Mr Manning?
04:55Sister still there?
04:57I'm not sure why.
04:58I don't know. I just don't feel very well. I've got a snub in my throat, and it's really hard to swallow.
05:04Sounds like the dreaded lurgie.
05:06Get yourself into bed. I'll see what the sister can do.
05:16Jones?
05:19What are you doing here at this time of night?
05:21I'm sorry, Mrs Morris. Look, I left my braille study sheet in the library.
05:24I wanted to go over it tonight.
05:25Oh, all right. But hurry. I want to lock up.
05:28Oh, there you are, Mrs Morris. Can I see your phone, please?
05:31Yeah. What is it?
05:50What's taking you so long?
05:51I couldn't find it.
05:54Here, here it is. On the table.
05:56Come on. You should be locked in yourself.
06:04They should have kept you overnight at the hospital.
06:06Or at least let me take your heart.
06:08I'm fine, Joan. Just superficial wounds.
06:11What you've been through.
06:13I've been through a lot.
06:15I'm fine, Joan. Just superficial wounds.
06:18What you've been through.
06:20The army trained us to withstand far worse things than that young fellow handed out.
06:25Now, now, Joan.
06:27I know it isn't an easy thing to come to terms with under any circumstances.
06:32A man has been killed.
06:35But just remember, you're not alone.
06:40They should have let me take the responsibility.
06:43I've never known you to lie before.
06:45Well, I was partly to blame.
06:47And a little white lie is a small thing compared to what a trial might do to your career.
06:53Thank you, Father.
06:56But I've had to resign.
06:59A governor can't help a prisoner escape and expect to hold a position, acting governor or not.
07:05Sorry to keep you waiting. Just heard they caught up with Keane.
07:08Oh, that is good news.
07:10What about her friend, Kevin?
07:12No signers yet. They must have split up.
07:14But the knight's still young.
07:16Now, those statements. Major?
07:32Well?
07:33Yeah, sister said these would fix you up till the morning.
07:36For God's sake, I am really ill and all I get is a couple of pills.
07:39Well, the sister knows what's best, Stephens.
07:41I'm telling you, I should be in hospital. I'm...
07:42Just take the tablets, will you?
07:45Certainly improve for a lady that was on her last legs ten minutes ago.
07:48I'm telling you, I am not well.
07:50All right, well, get into bed then.
07:53Good night, ladies.
07:58What's all that about?
07:59Oh, just Stephens going overboard with her ailments.
08:01And you reckon we fellas can bung it off.
08:03What did you give her?
08:04Aspirin and a sleeping tablet.
08:06Sister reckons she'll be fine in the morning.
08:09Good night.
08:15There'll soon be lights out.
08:26I wouldn't try anything tonight if I were you, Belinda.
08:31Oh?
08:32Why's that?
08:35Because I'm going to be watching you every minute.
08:38Every instant you make one wrong move, you're going to be a very sorry blind girl.
08:43What, you're going to stay awake all night, are you?
08:47Listen to you.
08:48You're already half asleep.
09:01Ah, here you are.
09:02Hope your coffee hasn't got too cold.
09:04Well, that's very kind of you, miss.
09:06I thought it was Rick.
09:07What are you doing here so late?
09:08Just catching up.
09:09Or should I say reorganising.
09:11Don't get me wrong.
09:12Loving every minute of it.
09:14Any news of Keane?
09:15He won't mind, will he?
09:16No, that's what I wanted to tell you about.
09:18Ah, they have caught her.
09:20And not a sign of the $50,000.
09:22They're bringing her back in the morning.
09:24That'll be a bitter entrance, I'll bet.
09:26She should be bitter.
09:28I don't think Joan and her father will forget what she put them through.
09:37Sweet dreams.
09:40Don't count on it.
09:44Well, light's out.
09:47Now we're both equal, Stephens.
09:50Well, I can still see you.
09:55Not for long.
10:00For God's sake, why are you doing this to me?
10:02I haven't done anything to hurt you.
10:04You took away my sight.
10:06How could I? I'd never met you before you came in here.
10:09It was your boyfriend who did it.
10:12He bashed me up so bad, I had bandages on my eyes for weeks.
10:15And then when they took them off...
10:17Hey, I had nothing to do with those bashings.
10:19That was Gerry. That was old Gerry.
10:21I had nothing to do with those...
10:22It's too late to wriggle out of it now, you bitch!
10:26No!
10:29Where is it?
10:31Where is it?
10:32Where is it?
10:34Help me! Help me!
10:36Hey, what the hell's going on in there?
10:38Belinda, are you alright?
10:40Belinda!
10:42Help!
10:43Help somebody! Help!
10:45Help me!
10:46Belinda and Simon, they're trying to kill each other!
10:49No, you don't, Jones.
10:51No, you don't!
10:53Stephens! Get away from her!
10:55She tried to kill me.
10:56Get out! You've got the wrong son.
10:57No, she tried to...
10:58I said get out!
11:02You alright?
11:03Yeah, it was just a stupid argument.
11:05Sonia got a bit carried away, that's all.
11:07Oh, well, you don't have to worry about her.
11:09We'll just get to work, eh?
11:11Yeah.
11:23There you go.
11:24Yep.
11:25Yep.
11:31Got to face the inquest next.
11:33Oh, just a formality.
11:35The police accept the fact that it was self-defence.
11:39I didn't mean to shoot him.
11:41I would have earlier.
11:42Of course you didn't.
11:44I startled you.
11:45But don't torment yourself with it.
11:48If he'd got the gun, he would have killed both of us.
11:51Now, come on, drink up your cocoa.
11:54It's a new day tomorrow and we can start thinking about
11:56what sort of work you want to do next.
12:00Funny, isn't it?
12:02You taking the blame to save a job that I don't have anymore.
12:06You'll have no trouble finding a new career.
12:11But I do think that a softer attitude would make things a lot easier
12:16in whatever you choose to do.
12:19Remember the old adage?
12:21You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar.
12:27That's my girl.
12:32Why wouldn't you believe me?
12:33She's been trying to get me for weeks.
12:36Save your sore throats, Stephens.
12:37I don't believe one word you tell me.
12:40You see, I know a lot more about you than what you think I do.
12:42Like what?
12:43Your husband is a mate of mine.
12:46Yet he worshipped the ground you walked on.
12:49I can see him now, on the booze.
12:51Half the bloke I used to know.
12:54So I suggest that you watch yourself.
12:56Because I won't stand around while you bleed the life out of someone else.
12:59You can believe that.
13:15Quick, quick, I want the first shower.
13:16It's going to take me ages.
13:17Oh, stop running, please, Mason.
13:19God, it's her lunch date today.
13:21All this bloody fuss and her boyfriend will only probably shower her with pie and sauce.
13:24Hey, what's this?
13:25Give us a break, you bitch.
13:27Come along, let's break it up.
13:30Mitchell, what have you done to your hair?
13:33Oh, I reckon it looks real pretty, Mrs. Morris.
13:35Yeah, psychedelic dandruff.
13:36Oh, come on, come on, that's enough.
13:37Move along, Hunt.
13:38You too, Parker.
13:40Where'd you get it?
13:41In the kitchen, Mrs. M.
13:42But it was going to be thrown out anyway.
13:44You go and wash it out and if I catch you with it again,
13:46I'll put you on a charge for stealing.
13:48Yes, Mrs. M.
13:49All right, coming, Judy.
13:50Slight delay.
13:55Thank you, Mrs. Morris.
13:57Are you okay?
13:58She's fine, Brian.
13:59Can you look after her?
14:00Yeah, sure.
14:01What happened last night?
14:02It was just a stupid argument.
14:03Sonia got really carried away.
14:05You sure it wasn't the other way around?
14:08Okay, well, I'll take care of her.
14:10Look after Mrs. M.
14:11Oh, come along, ladies.
14:12You like Brown's cars?
14:17Yeah.
14:25I heard you're up bright and early.
14:27Why didn't you stay in bed?
14:29You need the rest.
14:30Not a doddering old man yet.
14:32Anyway, I thought you'd like to lie in yourself.
14:35No point.
14:36I didn't sleep too well either.
14:38You read your paper, I'll get you some coffee.
14:40Oh, thank you, dear.
14:47Oh.
14:56Ah, just what the doctor ordered.
15:04I thought a lot last night about your situation
15:07and I've come up with a couple of ideas
15:09you might like to discuss.
15:13Well, maybe later, Father.
15:16I've been doing a bit of thinking myself
15:18and I've come to a definite decision.
15:20Oh?
15:22Yes, I'll know more later.
15:26In the meantime, I'm going to go and see someone
15:28who perhaps can help me sort out my future.
15:32Good for you.
15:36Poor little Bobbin.
15:37It looks so pretty, too.
15:39Get your dirty paws off me and leave her alone, Phyllis.
15:41Don't be awful.
15:42It's bad for your digestion.
15:44Well, so is that porridge they're dishing up.
15:46Hey, I've got an idea.
15:47Bobbin, you want to look real punk?
15:48Put some of the old great death in you here
15:50and make it stand on end, eh?
15:51I can think of a place to put some porridge
15:53that would make you stand on end.
15:55Why don't you drop off?
15:56Listen, mate, I owe you one,
15:58so don't push your luck, you understand?
16:00Good.
16:01Now get to the end of the line.
16:02Oh, I'm going to need a knife and fork to eat this.
16:05Yeah, well, I'll have yours if you don't want it fixed.
16:07I'm always real hungry at breakfast.
16:08Oh, well, you can have it.
16:10I'm going to save my appetite for lunchtime.
16:12Oh, come on, move it along.
16:13It'll be like concrete before I get to it.
16:15Hey, they caught Reb.
16:16I just heard on my tranny.
16:17My God, she didn't stay out for long, did she?
16:19Oh, Reb, did they get her money?
16:21Don't think so.
16:22Oh, bad luck she didn't get away with that.
16:23Looking forward to her belly aching all over the place again.
16:26Hey, Pix, you quite sure you don't want any breakfast?
16:29Oh, no, thanks, Cass.
16:30I'm going to order everything on the menu for lunch.
16:33Good old great death.
16:36I can't believe she'd actually attack a blind girl.
16:39A woman can't have compassion for anyone.
16:41You want to speak with her?
16:42Oh, no.
16:43Keep her in solitary until this afternoon.
16:45Then you can put her on extra cleaning duties.
16:47I think John's would be safer with a transfer.
16:49Stephen's probably going to try and get back at her again.
16:52Yeah, well, I'll see what I can do.
16:55But we've already unloaded a few to other blocks and to Barnhurst.
16:59I think we'll be pushing our luck with another one.
17:01We've got to try and keep them apart somehow.
17:03Here you go.
17:04Another troublemaker back today.
17:06Oh, yes, keen.
17:10Do you think Jane will be coming in this morning?
17:13God, I hope not.
17:14Keep your fingers crossed she doesn't want to work out her resignation.
17:17Otherwise we'll have real trouble with those two.
17:20Miss Ferguson.
17:37Come in.
17:38Morning, Mrs. Reynolds.
17:39I hope I'm not disturbing you.
17:41No, of course not.
17:44Sit down.
17:46Coffee?
17:47No, thank you.
17:50Well, I hope you don't mind my saying so,
17:53but you're the last person I expected to see this morning.
17:58Mrs. Reynolds, I need your help.
18:00In what way?
18:03I want to withdraw my resignation.
18:10Yes, put the call through.
18:12I'll speak to her.
18:14Good morning, Mrs. Reynolds.
18:16Erica Davidson speaking.
18:18Oh, good morning.
18:20Mrs. Powell's not here at the moment.
18:22She had to go to D-block to sort something out.
18:24Oh, I see.
18:25Well, I'll call back later.
18:26I'm sorry to have disturbed you, Mrs. Davidson.
18:28Not at all.
18:29I've been meaning to call you,
18:30but I thought I'd let you go back on your feet first.
18:32I'm sorry to have disturbed you.
18:35Not at all.
18:36I've been meaning to call you,
18:37but I thought I'd let you go back on your feet first.
18:39How are you feeling?
18:40Ready to take over the reins again?
18:42Not quite,
18:43but I must admit I can't help thinking of the place.
18:46Yes, I know what you mean.
18:48Did you want to speak to Mrs. Powell personally,
18:51or could I help you?
18:52You'll have to deal with it sooner or later, I suppose.
18:55Oh, that sounds ominous.
18:57Joan Ferguson's just been to see me.
18:59Oh?
19:00She wants to withdraw her resignation.
19:02Why did she go to you?
19:04Why didn't she come to Mrs. Powell or myself?
19:06To be quite honest with you, I don't really know,
19:09but she asked me to back her with the department,
19:11and I said I would.
19:12You do realize the circumstances behind her resignation?
19:16Yes.
19:17And yet you're prepared to take her back.
19:19I'm not saying I'm happy about it, Mrs. Davidson,
19:22but I have to give her the benefit of the doubt.
19:24She's been through a lot during the last couple of days,
19:27and she claims that her attitude towards the job has changed because of it.
19:30And you believe her?
19:31I'm not prepared to call her a liar.
19:34Very well, Mrs. Reynolds.
19:36I'll tell Mrs. Powell you called.
19:38Goodbye.
19:41I hope I've misunderstood what that's all about.
19:49Damn!
19:53What was that all about, and who won?
19:56Coffee.
19:57What a good idea.
20:02Yes, I've already done that, Mrs. Powell.
20:04I believe Mr. Manning will be looking after her.
20:08Very well.
20:10That was Mrs. Powell.
20:11She wants King to go to solitary as soon as she's had a shower.
20:14Right. Give her time to cool down a bit.
20:16It's hard to understand, isn't it?
20:18Do they really think they'll get away with it?
20:20Must be.
20:21No, I don't think there's too much thinking goes into it, Stan.
20:23Will you get these bloody things off me?
20:25Look out. Here we go.
20:26Someone catch sign for this?
20:27Dorothy!
20:28Rick didn't know you were here.
20:30Fine. We haven't seen you for a while.
20:32This is real cosy, Porky.
20:33Now get these bloody things off me.
20:35That's enough, Keen.
20:36You want a better one?
20:37Shut up.
20:38The old sign for it.
20:39Now that we know where you are,
20:40how about coming out and having a drink with us one night?
20:42Yeah, you're on.
20:43You and Porky on together, eh, Scrooge?
20:46I'll give you a ring.
20:47Okay.
20:48See you.
20:49See you.
20:50See you next time, Porky.
20:51Right-o, Keen.
20:52Straight to the showers and then to solitary.
20:53Get stuffed.
20:54Move it.
20:55Officer Ward, you're a sinner girl, Rebecca.
20:57You're throwing your life away.
20:59Oh, yeah, I'm real silly, aren't I?
21:01There's 50,000 bucks sitting out there and it's all mine.
21:04How much have you got, Grandpa?
21:10Here's the problem.
21:12The 18th of last month.
21:13H Block had three on night shift instead of two.
21:16Is there any reason for that?
21:18Mrs Powell?
21:20Sorry.
21:21What's the matter?
21:22It's Joan Ferguson, isn't it?
21:24I can't understand why Anne is backing her.
21:26She knows the trouble that the woman causes.
21:28A member of her staff has made a reasonable request.
21:31Now, whether I agree with her or not, the first decision must be hers.
21:34After that, it's up to the department.
21:36Yes, but she's got no right to even consider this.
21:38She has every right in the world.
21:40She is the governor, Mrs Powell.
21:42Not you.
21:43All right.
21:44But if they don't accept her resignation, who's going to tell the department they're wrong?
21:49You?
21:50No, Mrs Powell.
21:52I did that once before.
21:54You know what happened.
21:55As far as I'm concerned, the department is not wrong.
21:59Ever.
22:04Who's there?
22:07Come on, who is it?
22:09How long do I have to stay in here?
22:11How long do I have to...
22:13Morning, Stevens.
22:14You'll have to wait for Mr Manning to find that out.
22:16Why, don't you know? Or have you forgotten?
22:18That's quite enough of that.
22:19I didn't touch that blind bitch, and even if I wanted to, do you think I'd do it in my own cell after long enough?
22:22I've already told you, Mr Manning...
22:23Stand, Mr Manning, I'm asking you!
22:25Oh, I know you are, but surely you're not stupid.
22:27You can think for yourself, can't you?
22:29I mean, can't you hear me?
22:30Get out of here!
22:32How can you guys punish me like this?
22:34Get back, mate!
22:37Don't you hurt them!
22:39Let me go!
22:40What's going on?
22:41What's going on?
22:42Let me out of here!
22:43You all right, mate?
22:44I'll wreck this place, you hear me?
22:46Sure, you took a bit of a whack.
22:48Yes, I'm all right.
22:49Really?
22:50Will she be all right? She won't hurt herself, will she?
22:52Well, she'll be fine.
22:53Look, I've got to go. Stay until she calms down, if you will.
23:00Yes, I think I can handle that.
23:03Oh, God.
23:04How can they make me so angry? They really do.
23:07Something wrong, Pixie?
23:08Look at this, Mr Sherman, make-up all over the collar, and I gave her tissues too.
23:13Is that all? You had me worried.
23:15I've never seen you lose your temper before.
23:18Oh, I wasn't nasty with her, really I wasn't.
23:20Of course not, I know that.
23:22But it wouldn't have mattered anyway, do you know why?
23:25Ah, I knew it, she wasn't going to buy the dress after all, was she?
23:29Correct.
23:30You see, you're learning.
23:31Oh, I do really think so.
23:33I could walk out of here at any moment and be quite confident with you in charge.
23:37What a lovely thing to say.
23:40Oh, Mr Sherman, look, there's Ralph.
23:44Pixie, you will be careful, won't you? You won't do anything rash.
23:48Oh, no, after I've finished with it, there won't be a scrap of make-up left.
23:52Excuse me.
23:54Ralph, what's wrong? You look dreadful.
23:57I know, I didn't sleep at all last night.
24:00Why?
24:01It's your fault.
24:03I couldn't help thinking about you.
24:10I love you, Pixie.
24:12Oh, Ralphie.
24:19Oh, yeah, I get it.
24:21Now, come on, we're all married.
24:23We are. I reckon if the freak had to have something other job, it'd have to be something like that.
24:27Well, I've got a good idea for a job for her.
24:29What about test pilot for an electric chair company?
24:34What do you reckon, Cass?
24:35Oh, I don't know. I'm just glad she's gone, that's all.
24:38And so say all of us.
24:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:40Her replacement is an improvement.
24:42Yeah, well, with our luck, it'll be Vinegar Tits.
24:44Vinegar Tits, who's that?
24:45Oh, she's Bobby, she's real bad news.
24:47I met her at Barnhurst and I reckon she's just as bad as our missus.
24:53Oh, Miss Ferguson, we were just talking about...
24:56Yes, hunt, I know what you're talking about.
25:03I won't take up too much of your time, ladies.
25:09You will probably think that I've broken my side of the bargain.
25:12I have decided to withdraw my resignation.
25:17Now, I realise that my methods have been wrong in the past, but I intend to change that.
25:23I don't expect you to believe me now, but if you'll just give me a chance, I'm sure we'll all benefit.
25:43Look, this is crazy, we're both in the same boat together, so why don't we join forces?
25:48Reb?
25:49Look, Stephen, just shut up, will you?
25:51Only trying to help.
25:53Oh, yeah, yeah, you're all hot.
25:55I'll tell you this one more time, I work solo.
25:59And I don't need your bloody help.
26:01You sure?
26:02Ferguson will be after you for trying to kill her father.
26:05And I'll be after you for trying to kill me.
26:07I don't need your bloody help.
26:09You sure?
26:10Ferguson will be after you for trying to kill her father.
26:12You're on top of the list now.
26:16She's left.
26:18I bet she works out a notice, gives her a chance to get at you.
26:23What do you say?
26:26Reb?
26:29I'll think about it.
26:32Hey, don't start eating yet, you've got the wrong plate.
26:36Oh, that's close.
26:38There you go.
26:43You're not with it, are you?
26:45Still thinking about Jane Ferguson, huh?
26:47Of course I am.
26:50I hope I haven't made a dreadful mistake.
26:53Did you think it was right at the time?
26:55Yes.
26:56Well, that's all you've got to worry about.
26:58Do you think I was right?
27:01You want the truth?
27:02Oh, I wouldn't ask...
27:03All right, all right, for what it's worth.
27:05No.
27:06I think she's putting it over you.
27:08I've seen that woman in action before.
27:10But this was a different person, Wally.
27:12I mean, totally different.
27:14No one could act like that.
27:16She even confessed to things she'd done in the prison.
27:18She didn't have to do that.
27:19Granted, but look, I...
27:20And then she went on to tell me about all the things that had happened with her father.
27:25She couldn't fake that.
27:27She really loves him.
27:28The whole conversation was totally honest.
27:31All right, all right, calm down.
27:32Look, it boils down to this, doesn't it?
27:34If you made the right decision, good.
27:36If you made the wrong decision, well, you're the one who'll have to live with it.
27:40No, I won't have to.
27:42I've made up my mind, Wally.
27:44I'm not going back.
27:45I can't.
27:46Well, Joan needs that prison.
27:47It's her life.
27:48But as far as I'm concerned, there are other people...
27:50And what about the women?
27:51Who do they need?
27:53Who do they need?
27:54You or Joan?
27:56My son needs me more, or have you forgotten him?
28:08Pixie?
28:13Pixie?
28:14Oh, don't say anything, Ralph, my darling.
28:16It's too beautiful.
28:18Oh, listen to the birds.
28:20Yeah, but you can listen to the birds any time.
28:22I want to talk.
28:23Oh, but I can't.
28:24Well, that's the trouble.
28:26Oh, we have sparrows over at the prison,
28:28and they're cute little things, I suppose,
28:30but, well, they don't sing much, do they?
28:32Oh, please, Pixie.
28:33You haven't heard a word I've said.
28:35Yes, I have, Ralph, my darling.
28:37I think it's very romantic.
28:39Well, there's nothing I would like more than to go away on a cruise with you, but...
28:42But what?
28:44Well, I...
28:45I can't, can I?
28:48I'm going to be in that dreadful place for years.
28:52But not if you behave yourself,
28:54and you get that remission, or whatever it is you get.
28:57Oh, no, Ralph, darling.
28:59Oh, it's not that I won't be good, because I will.
29:02Well, I... I did hit Cass,
29:05but that was a mistake.
29:07And I only punched Bobbie because she made me lose my temper.
29:11You're not serious.
29:13Well, don't look like that, Ralph, darling.
29:15I always stay out of riots.
29:17Well, I try to.
29:19And when they tried to kill Miss Ferguson...
29:21Oh, did I tell you about that?
29:23It was terrible. They tried to hang her.
29:25Well, I had nothing to do with it.
29:27Oh.
29:28No, I was too sick after smoking those cigarettes with drugs in them.
29:35I don't believe this.
29:37I don't.
29:39Pixie, I've got to get you out of that place.
29:41Oh, gosh, look at the time.
29:43Mr. Sherman, are you still going to give me a lift after work?
29:46Yes.
29:48Yes, I am.
29:52I mean, does she really expect us to believe all that crap?
29:55You know your trouble, fellas?
29:57You're ascetic. What do you reckon, Jude?
29:59Yeah, I've got to admit, I'm very disappointed in her, fellas.
30:01I mean, there she was, begging us for forgiveness,
30:03and you were the one that had to not believe her.
30:05I mean, the rest of us believed her, didn't we, girls?
30:07Yeah, yeah.
30:08Unanimous.
30:09Now, now, just hang on a minute.
30:11Hang on a minute. Now, I know she's been pretty rotten.
30:13Rotten? She's a bitch.
30:14Yeah, well, fair enough, but...
30:15But nothing can. She's a bitch.
30:17Will you shut up, Bobbie, and give us a go?
30:19What did you want to say, dear?
30:21I was trying to say, if a person wants to change and be a bit nice,
30:24they ought to be given a chance.
30:26I don't believe this.
30:27No, no.
30:28Now, look, we had a dog on the farm once, kept biting everybody.
30:30Now, we was going to have him put down, but you know what?
30:33We found he had a bit of barbed wire in his paw.
30:35See? Now, he was right as rain after that.
30:37Well, if you want to look for barbed wire in the freak's paw,
30:39you can go right ahead.
30:41All right, Bobbie, that's enough of that.
30:43Oh, jeez, what are you doing here?
30:44I thought you'd be having your afternoon sleep.
30:46Don't be cheeky.
30:47I'm not.
30:48Me and Stan are good mates, aren't we, Stan?
30:50Although I reckon he's got the heart for the freak himself.
30:53Mitchell, I've spent over 40 years in male prisons.
30:57I brought up a daughter at one stage
30:59that would have made you look like Mary Poppins.
31:01So if you're trying to shock me,
31:03you'll have to do a lot better than that.
31:05Now, why don't we get some work done, hmm?
31:09Yeah.
31:15I think I've underestimated you, Stanley.
31:17Eh?
31:18I have heard.
31:19Masterful sit-downs you just gave young Bobbie.
31:22Well, after my own girl, she's a pushover.
31:24I ran into a few hard cases myself
31:26when I was doing my social workers degree.
31:28They didn't teach your method, though.
31:30Learned the hard way through experiences.
31:33I want to run down the social workers that do a good job.
31:36I didn't know you were involved with that.
31:38How did you end up here?
31:39Ah, same old story, I suppose.
31:41Dropped the degree, then couldn't get the job.
31:44But I've combined the best of both worlds.
31:46Experience from the force,
31:48knowledge from the psychological side of things.
31:50The right combination.
31:52But don't let them know too soon
31:53you've got this extra bit of understanding
31:55they'll take advantage.
31:56I knew they'd try it on me,
31:57an old bloke on his way out.
31:59Now, you've got to know when to put the foot down
32:01and when to bend the rules.
32:03A bit like being married, really.
32:05Yeah, well, I wouldn't have it that.
32:07Ah, you will. You can bet you'll like it.
32:09There's a nice girl out there
32:10waiting for a good bloke like you.
32:16What's it like?
32:18You're unreal, James.
32:20You get your boyfriend to bash her up.
32:21Now you're screaming because she's after you.
32:23She's not after me.
32:24She's trying to kill me.
32:25So, kill her first.
32:27It's not my style.
32:29What are you scared of?
32:30She's blind, isn't she?
32:31Listen, are you in with me or not?
32:32Don't rush me.
32:35I'll tell you something for nothing, though.
32:37If you don't put a big full stop to that Belinda,
32:40you won't be teaming up with no one.
32:44You hear me?
32:46Yes.
32:47Yes, I hear you.
32:49Okay, cut the chatter.
32:59Out, Stephens. You're on special cleaning duties.
33:01Cleaning? Why?
33:02It's a punishment for attacking an inmate.
33:04I thought that's why I was in here.
33:05Oh, we don't want you to do it again.
33:07Don't worry, I won't.
33:24Oh, my goodness, there's no one here.
33:26Oh, Pixie, before you start...
33:27Oh, I'm sorry I was late, Mr. Schumann,
33:29but it was so lovely over at the park
33:31and before I knew what time it was...
33:33Pixie, please, I must talk to you.
33:35You are angry with me, aren't you?
33:37Of course not, but I am worried.
33:40I'm dreadfully worried you'll do something silly.
33:43Silly? What do you mean?
33:45Well, this is none of my business, mind you,
33:48and you may think I'm interfering all so-and-so.
33:51Oh, of course not. I think you're lovely.
33:53Thank you. I think the same about you.
33:55Oh, thank you.
33:56But I'm very worried about you and Ralph.
34:00Why?
34:01Well, I know how fond you are of weddings,
34:04and should Ralph ask you to marry him again,
34:07you might be inclined to...
34:09Oh, but I couldn't marry him
34:10because they wouldn't allow that at the prison, would they?
34:13Oh, I suppose you were...
34:14Well, there you go, then.
34:16Mind you, not that I wouldn't marry him.
34:18He's been absolutely lovely, Mr. Schumann.
34:21In fact, I think I love him just as much now as I did before.
34:27But...
34:29What's wrong, my dear?
34:33I've just been thinking.
34:35Well, it's dreadful being a criminal, isn't it?
34:39We can't marry or anything.
34:51Hurry up and join the others.
34:53Stephens, hurry up and join the others.
34:55Well, I've got extra cleaning duties I've yet to do at the library.
34:58Oh, I see.
35:00Stephens, I overheard you and Keane talking in solitary.
35:05Well, I was just sounding her out, seeing what side she was on.
35:07I wasn't trying to put you down.
35:08Just relax, relax, Stephens.
35:10Now, I realise that in the past I've been very hard on you,
35:14but that's all over now.
35:17You mean we're back in business?
35:19No.
35:20That's not what I mean at all.
35:22I won't be involved in anything that might cause trouble.
35:26Well, if you're trying to confuse me, you're doing a good job.
35:30Let's just say that my thinking has changed.
35:34From now on, I will be doing my job by the book.
35:37Understand?
35:40Whatever you say.
35:43Well, honestly, darling,
35:45I mean, you just shouldn't do things like that.
35:48What do you mean?
35:49Well, I was late back from lunch,
35:51and then you asked Mr Schumann if I could finish early.
35:53Oh, golly, I just feel dreadful.
35:55I'm sorry, Pixie, but I've got a surprise for you,
35:58and I just couldn't wait.
35:59A surprise?
36:00Oh, darling, I love surprises.
36:01What is it?
36:02I'll tell you later.
36:03Get in the car.
36:04We're going for a drive.
36:06Oh, well, I'll see you later.
36:08I'll tell you later.
36:09Get in the car.
36:10We're going for a drive.
36:11Oh, where to?
36:12Well, you know I can't be late back.
36:14Oh, I know, love, but we've got plenty of time.
36:16That's why I got you to knock off early.
36:17Oh, aren't you clever?
36:19Oh, quickly, let's get in.
36:20I can't wait to see what it is.
36:41OK, you guys, no cheating.
36:46Well, one down and two to go.
36:48Hey, where'd you get them?
36:49Sally in maternity has given up.
36:51You wouldn't want to sell them, would you?
36:52How right you are, Hunt.
36:53Anyway, you should give up, too.
36:54They're bad.
36:55Oh, listen to who's talking.
36:56You've never got one out of your mouth.
36:57That's right.
36:58That's why I can speak with experience.
37:00Evil things, these cigarettes.
37:01That's why I burn everyone I get my hands on.
37:04Judy.
37:05Judy.
37:06I think we've got trouble.
37:07What's wrong?
37:08I just went to get the spanner.
37:09And?
37:10Missing.
37:11Aunt Sonia was working outside the library door.
37:12I thought she was in the pound.
37:13Not anymore, she's not.
37:14What are we going to do about it?
37:15Nothing at the moment.
37:16Here comes Father Tom.
37:17Hey, Mr. Dobson, you want to push up the hill?
37:18Thank you, Bobbie.
37:19Most people think I'm overdoing it.
37:20I'm not.
37:21I'm not.
37:22I'm not.
37:23I'm not.
37:24I'm not.
37:25I'm not.
37:26I'm not.
37:27I'm not.
37:28I'm not.
37:29I'm not.
37:30I'm not.
37:31I'm not.
37:32Most people think I'm over it already.
37:33What?
37:34Is that supposed to be a joke or something?
37:35No, I wish it were.
37:38Belinda, Mr. Bennet will be here soon.
37:40I'd like you to wait in the rec room for him.
37:42Yeah, alright.
37:44Come along, lily.
37:45Ohh!
37:46Take my arm if you want to.
37:50Step there.
37:54Stupid old turd!
37:55Oh, why?
37:56At least he tries to be nice to us.
37:58We just don't like oldies, that's all!
38:00Oh, what a shame, and I thought we were such good friends, too.
38:03Oh, I didn't mean that. Well, you know what I mean.
38:06Oh, bugger.
38:15Pixie, please, let me explain.
38:17No, Ralph, I don't trust you.
38:19I told you we had to be back at the prison on time.
38:21We'll never make it, and I'll be in awful trouble.
38:24And what about the surprise you promised me?
38:26Yeah, but don't you see? This is the surprise.
38:29What do you mean?
38:31Look, Pixie, just tell me one thing.
38:34Do you love me?
38:35Look, I'm mad at you now, but of course I do.
38:40Enough to marry me?
38:42Oh, honestly, you just don't listen sometimes, do you?
38:45I told you I didn't want to marry you until they let me out of the prison.
38:49They already have.
38:50Oh, for good, silly.
38:52Pixie, just listen.
38:54When you told me about all the things that happened to you in prison,
38:57well, I just couldn't bear to think of you staying there any longer.
39:01So I went and I spoke to the prison governor.
39:05You spoke to Mrs Powell?
39:07Mrs Powell, yes, yes, I certainly did.
39:10And I told her that if they kept you in there any longer,
39:14I'd go straight to the newspapers and tell them all the things you told me.
39:18Oh, gosh, she'll be awfully mad at me.
39:20No, she wasn't. She agrees with me.
39:22She doesn't think you should be there.
39:24So you see, that's the surprise.
39:27You've been... how do they put it?
39:30Bound over to my custody.
39:32Yes, that's it.
39:35Well, aren't you going to say anything?
39:38We're going to get married.
39:40Oh!
39:43Oh, but...
39:45Oh, what about the licence and the wedding dress and...
39:48Don't worry about the licence.
39:50I convinced them that they'd put the wrong name on the one I got to marry Miranda.
39:55Now, close your eyes.
40:21All right, open.
40:23Oh!
40:25Oh, Ralph!
40:27Oh, darling.
40:29Oh, I do love you.
40:33There we are.
40:38Oh, Mr Dobson, would it be all right if I waited in the library?
40:41That's where my lesson's going to be anyway.
40:43Well, if you like, just wait till I lock this, will you?
40:45Oh, you don't have to do that.
40:47Well, if you like, just wait till I lock this, will you?
40:49Oh, you don't have to come with me.
40:51I can get there by myself. I've done it a lot of times.
40:54Are you sure?
40:56Yeah, look, I hate being led round all the time.
40:59All right, dear.
41:01Just watch your step.
41:13Sonia?
41:17Sonia?
41:37Who's there?
41:39Is it East Stevens?
41:48Oh.
41:53Don't be stupid, Stevens.
41:55Mr Bennett's going to be here any minute.
41:57Oh!
41:59Oh!
42:01You!
42:03Come on, Stevens.
42:05What's the matter?
42:07You're not scared, are you? I'm blind, remember?
42:11Now we're even.
42:13You know, there's some blind people who can tell the difference between light and dark.
42:17And I'm one of them.
42:19At the moment, it seems to be pretty dark.
42:21They've turned the lights out, haven't they?
42:23Now we're both blind.
42:25And I'm going to make sure you stay that way.
42:29Oh!
42:31Oh!
42:43I wish he could again
42:49But that was on the outside
42:53And things were different then
42:57On the inside, the sun still shines
43:01And the rain falls down
43:07But the sun and rain are prisoners too
43:13And the morning comes around
43:17Last night I dreamed we were together
43:23Sharing all the love we'd known
43:29Till I had to face the nightmare
43:35Of waking up alone
43:37On the inside, the roses grow
43:39They don't mind the stony ground
43:45But the roses here are prisoners too
43:49When morning comes around
