00:00Hello, put me through to the police.
00:11Yes, it's an emergency.
00:16Hello, look, look, I've got to talk fast.
00:21You'll have to talk faster than that, Trevor.
00:30You can inform me for a minute.
00:41I know who you two are.
00:42I've seen your photos in the paper.
00:44And you're holding my auntie a prisoner in her own home, aren't you?
00:47Yeah, that's right.
00:48We're holding a prisoner.
00:49Think you're clever, don't you?
00:50Yeah.
00:51It was dead easy, silly old cow.
00:53All we had to do was move in.
00:54Nothing she could do about it.
00:57Well, what are you going to do now?
01:00I can't have you two talking to the cops, can I?
01:04Put him in here, Frankie.
01:05There's lots of room in here.
01:06And it's got a key, too.
01:10In.
01:13One word out of you, Trevor, and they'll be calling you Sally.
01:20Better tie the old bed up and gag her.
01:30There you are, dear.
01:33Oh, and take this too.
01:35You'll need it, I should think.
01:36Oh, Miss McBride, you shouldn't.
01:38Don't be stupid.
01:40Thanks, Aunty.
01:41See you around.
01:41Come on, you.
01:43It's been terrific, really.
01:46Yes.
01:47Bye.
01:48Bye.
01:49Bye.
01:49Oh, come on, Sarah.
02:18It'll be fun.
02:20Look, if you're afraid your mother won't let you, just say you're coming over to my place
02:24to study.
02:24I can't, Beth.
02:25I told you.
02:26We're going out tonight.
02:27You can see a movie any time.
02:30Look, Bill's party will be fantastic.
02:32His parents are away.
02:33No, I have to go out with Mum and Dad.
02:36Have you ever been to a party with boys?
02:38Of course.
02:40Sarah, you're never going to get a boyfriend if you won't go out with them.
02:43I don't want a boyfriend.
02:44I told Bill I'd get some chips and stuff for the party.
02:48You want to come?
02:49I have to get home.
02:50Okay.
02:51I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.
02:53Have a good time.
02:54We will.
02:54See you tomorrow.
02:55Hello, Sarah Roberts.
03:11Yes?
03:11I'm Jack Harris.
03:12I'm meeting your dad's.
03:13Thought it was you, though I haven't seen you since you were knee-eyed to a grasshopper.
03:16Yeah, look, going round to your place for dinner tonight.
03:18Did he tell you?
03:19No, we're going out tonight.
03:21I know, your dad told me.
03:23Asked me along.
03:24Figures he wouldn't say anything.
03:26Probably wants to surprise your mum.
03:27Say, you don't mind an old mate if your dad's tagging along, do you?
03:31No.
03:32Good.
03:33Well, I'm going to your place now.
03:34Would you like a living?
03:35No, thank you.
03:37Come on, Sarah.
03:38I'm not going to fight.
03:40Save yourself a walk.
03:41Oh, all right.
03:42You coming to the movies as well?
03:50Uh, no.
03:52No, I don't think I'll do that.
03:53I don't think I'll do that.
04:23I don't think I'll do that.
04:53No, I don't think I'll do that.
04:55No, I don't think I'll do that.
04:57I don't think I'll do that.
04:57No.
04:58Oh, my God.
05:28Did anyone see you?
05:39I told them I was going to see Aunt Erika.
05:42They don't suspect a thing.
05:43Good.
05:44Well, have you got anything?
05:46I don't know how important this is,
05:49but Monica Ferguson wants me to help her to smuggle a few things into the prison.
05:54What?
05:55Do you know?
05:56She wouldn't tell me.
05:58She thinks because I'm the governor's niece,
06:00I can make a phone call to a friend of hers.
06:03All I have to do is tell her to send Moni's special things.
06:09Special things.
06:10Hmm, that's what she said.
06:13Well, who do you have to call?
06:15I don't know.
06:16She just gave me a number.
06:18Well, I don't like it.
06:19We're not supposed to allow prisoners' personal calls.
06:21I got caught.
06:23Well, it's up to you,
06:25but I thought you wanted to get your own back on Bea and Monica.
06:28It's almost ready to be checked, Miss Bennet.
06:43Don't you ever feel, well, awful having to read the women's letters?
06:48If you don't like it, you shouldn't work in a prison.
06:49Take those to the governor.
06:55Be quick about it.
07:08Hi, Alice.
07:21It's Barb.
07:23Look, I can't talk too long.
07:24I want you to drop in a parcel.
07:27Today or tomorrow, as soon as possible.
07:30It's all right.
07:31You'll get paid for it.
07:34Could you address the parcel to Barbara Davidson?
07:39Thanks.
07:41Well?
07:41No worries.
07:42It's going to be sent to me.
07:43Why?
07:44Oh, Monica thinks my things won't be searched as much as hers.
07:47Oh, look, that's ridiculous.
07:48The idea was for me to catch her receiving the parcel.
07:51Well, you'll have to make sure you're here when it arrives.
07:53Yes, and don't be too thorough.
07:54Then wait for me to pass it over to Monica.
08:07Miss Bennet.
08:08Miss Vernon.
08:09Is there any mail for Linda, Honour?
08:11No.
08:12Well, perhaps have you looked?
08:13I don't need to.
08:14No one ever writes to her.
08:16I think I know her a little bit better than you do, Miss Bennet.
08:19Oh, really, Miss Bennet?
08:21Look, don't kid yourself.
08:22They all think you're soft, a do-gooder.
08:25They're only going to use you.
08:28I don't think that even warrants a reply.
08:31Well, look, you're running around after her already, aren't you?
08:33Coming to see if there's a letter for her.
08:35Lynn Warner happens to be in hospital in case you've forgotten.
08:39I thought a letter might help.
08:40She's a very sick girl, Miss Bennet.
08:42She's a waste of time.
08:44I think if we could get the committee to agree on holding the fate at the school.
08:59Yes, and perhaps an art show.
09:02Should be able to raise a few hundred dollars.
09:04Oh, no, Sunday's out for me.
09:08Have to do the flowers at the church.
09:12No, can't tonight either.
09:14We promised Sarah that we'd take her out to dinner and then on to a film.
09:17Let's get together next week.
09:20Oh, she's fine.
09:22Doing awfully well at school.
09:23Right, okay, Mabel.
09:28Okay, I'll be in touch.
09:30Right, bye now.
09:47Can you remember what time that was?
09:50What, did she say anything to you?
09:52I mean, did she tell you where she was going?
09:56All right, Beth, thank you.
09:58Sarah?
10:00Hi, Lila.
10:03Hey, something wrong?
10:05Sarah's not home yet.
10:07Oh.
10:08She knows we're going out.
10:09Where is she?
10:09I don't know.
10:12Well, have you tried the school?
10:13She might have been kept back.
10:14Or a friend.
10:15Well, Beth said she left there over an hour ago and that she was coming straight home.
10:19Something must have happened to her, Ken.
10:21Oh, look, she probably met up with one of her friends and got sidetracked.
10:25It's not like Sarah.
10:27Do you think I ought to call the police?
10:29Oh, don't be silly, love.
10:30I'll tell you what.
10:31You go and get ready.
10:32Guarantees she'll be back before you're finished.
10:34But if something's happened to her...
10:37Oh, stop worrying.
10:38Look, we'll give her half an hour, sir.
10:41If she's not home by then, we'll ring the police.
10:48I'm the regional services officer from Wentworth Prison.
10:56I rang through earlier this morning.
10:58Is it all right if I see Lynn?
11:00Yes.
11:01Hi.
11:06I spoke to your doctor, Lynn.
11:07He's worried about you.
11:09Seems to think that you don't want to help yourself.
11:12I told him that you're full of self-pity.
11:15Can't say that I blame you.
11:17I'd probably be feeling pretty sorry for myself, too.
11:20I mean, after all, what do you have to live for, right?
11:22Of course, uh, you're only on remand.
11:27You haven't even been to trial yet.
11:30And there's always the possibility that you'd only have to serve a few more months.
11:35But that'd be a lifetime, wouldn't it?
11:38And what's the point in hanging around?
11:39You might as well, Lynn, it all.
11:43The, uh, only thing that I'd be worried about would be hurting my parents.
11:48How do you think your parents would feel if you killed yourself, Lynn?
11:54They'd probably be pleased.
11:58You really think so?
12:00You think that they'd be happy to lose their only child?
12:05Do you love them?
12:08But you don't think that they love you?
12:10How could they after what I've done?
12:13Maybe they're shocked and disappointed,
12:15but you only feel like that because you love someone.
12:18And that doesn't stop you from loving that person.
12:20You really believe that?
12:22Yes.
12:25Have you written to them yet?
12:27What would I say?
12:29Oh.
12:30You know, it's funny.
12:32Out of most of the women that I've seen inside prison,
12:35oh, sure, there's always the odd families that turn their backs on them,
12:39but usually it's the other way around.
12:41I guess that they feel guilty and ashamed.
12:46But this is the time when they really need to keep in contact with their families.
12:51If you like, I could write to them for you.
12:54I'm sure they'd feel better if they heard from you.
13:01I've also arranged for you to see a lawyer.
13:05Oh, what good's that going to do?
13:07You heard what that man said?
13:09Yes.
13:10Well, um, he's the one who's agreed to defend you.
13:14Well, I don't want him to.
13:16He's one of the best barristers around, Lynn.
13:18If anyone can help you, he can.
13:20I don't like him.
13:23You don't have to like him.
13:25The important thing is that he's good.
13:29You've got to trust me, Lynn.
13:30I want to help you.
13:31Why?
13:33Why would anyone want to help?
13:36It's my job.
13:38And also, I think you deserve another chance in life.
13:42I tried that once, remember?
13:44So try it again.
13:46I don't think Doug would want you to throw in the towel.
13:50Do you?
13:55Maybe if I drove around looking for her.
13:58Well, why would you look?
13:59Well, I can't just sit here and do nothing.
14:02She could have been in an accident.
14:04Anything.
14:07All right, I'll, uh, call the police.
14:17She's probably, uh, quite all right, Catherine.
14:24Yes, hello.
14:25My name's, uh, Ken Roberts.
14:26Uh, my wife's concerned about our daughter.
14:30Uh, yeah, well, she should have been home from school about two hours ago.
14:36Yeah, yes, yes, we tried all that, but, uh, nobody's seen her.
14:41Well, I don't know all her friends, I suppose, no.
14:43But, uh, I guess, uh...
14:45Oh, darling, hey, goodness, you're here.
14:48I'm sorry, she's just walked in the door.
14:49Your father's on the phone already.
14:51Yeah, I'm sorry to bother you.
14:52Thank goodness, you're safe.
14:52Fine.
14:53Oh, we've been so worried about you.
14:55I'm sorry, Mum.
14:57So you should be, young lady.
14:58Where have you been?
14:59I was at a friend's place.
15:01Well, why in heaven's name didn't you telephone us?
15:05What's happened to your uniform?
15:07Sarah, look at me when I'm talking to you.
15:10That's a bruise.
15:12What have you been up to?
15:14Hey, you heard?
15:17What happened, darling?
15:18I fell over on the way home.
15:21Went back to a friend's place to clean up.
15:24Well, why didn't you ring and tell us where you were?
15:26I forgot the time.
15:27Oh, well, as long as you're okay.
15:29Come on, chop, chop.
15:30Hurry up and get changed, otherwise we'll be late for the film.
15:34Oh, you're too soft on her.
15:36I made a special effort to be here early tonight.
15:39If she hasn't got the decency to ring and tell us where she is,
15:41I don't think we should go out.
15:42Oh, don't be so hard on her, Ken.
15:44She's never done anything like this before.
15:46Let's just be grateful that she's all right.
15:51Oh, yeah, I guess you're right.
15:53Another drink?
15:54I think I could do with one.
16:02Hey, look, has she got time for a shower?
16:07Sarah?
16:09Sarah, don't stay in there all night.
16:10We haven't got long.
16:12I won't long.
16:13Oh, she says he's upset.
16:19Ah, she'll be all right when she's seen the film.
16:21Hello, Mr. Wilson.
16:42Good afternoon, Miss Vernon.
16:43I just talked to Lynn Warner.
16:45She's agreed to have you as a lawyer.
16:47That's big enough.
16:49Now, look, Mr. Wilson.
16:51Lynn's been through one hell of a lot,
16:52and the last thing that she needs is a lawyer who's going to push her around.
16:56So try to be gentle with her.
16:57I know it'll be difficult for you.
16:59Miss Vernon, I think that I can manage to handle it.
17:02Hmm, good.
17:12I'm going to need some more antiseptic cream,
17:14and you better check the stocks while you're at it.
17:17Yes?
17:20You wanted to see me?
17:22Uh, you can finish up in here later, nurse.
17:30Quit on what the governor said.
17:31Look, I refuse to be treated like a...
17:33Criminal?
17:35I'm just not going to be watched.
17:37What's the matter?
17:38Are you afraid to be alone with me now?
17:39I just don't want you to get into trouble.
17:42Come sit down.
17:43Steve Wilson came to see me yesterday.
17:54He wanted to know if you were pregnant when he came into Wentworth.
17:59Why didn't you tell me you'd had an abortion?
18:06You always wanted children.
18:09Forget it, Greg.
18:09It's none of your business.
18:11None of my...
18:13Now, look, I'm the one who got you the lawyer in the first place, remember?
18:15I'm the one who wants to see you get a fair trial.
18:17I know, and I appreciate it, but it doesn't concern you anymore.
18:20Just like that?
18:22Well, my job's done.
18:23You don't need me anymore, is that?
18:24Don't be ridiculous.
18:25Look, I'm your friend.
18:26You can't tell me one day that you need my help
18:28and the next to butt out of your life.
18:29You're not my lawyer, Greg.
18:31No, he seems to be coming in a lot to see you lately.
18:33Can't have that much to keep going over.
18:35What do you mean?
18:36Well, he's an attractive man.
18:38You can do with his help more than mine now, can't you?
18:39How dare you?
18:43I'm just another prisoner, Greg.
18:47Well, had you forgotten?
18:51I know when I last spoke to you,
18:52I may have sounded a little, well, a little hard.
18:55But one thing you learn in my job
18:57is never to build a client's hopes too high.
19:00You never know what the jury's going to do
19:01or what the court will decide.
19:02I've been in court before.
19:06Yes, well, I've had a look at your record.
19:08I think we've got a very good chance
19:09of getting a low sentence
19:09if we work on the sympathy of the court.
19:13Sympathy?
19:14You'll plead guilty to being an accessory
19:16before and after the crime,
19:17but it's the reasons that you got involved
19:19that we'll be working on, all right?
19:21Reasons?
19:21Yes, for instance,
19:22although you'll be tried for this crime
19:24and the jury isn't supposed to take into account
19:25your last trial,
19:26I think I can slip in a few of the details
19:28and get some compassion working for us.
19:30After your release,
19:31although you were innocent,
19:32people wouldn't accept you back into society
19:33the way they should have done, right?
19:35Now, the only person to show you any understanding
19:38was the man you married, Doug.
19:42Lynn,
19:44did he coerce you into helping in the robbery?
19:47What does that mean?
19:48Did he force you or threaten you?
19:50Doug only wanted us to have a future together.
19:54He loved me.
19:55Well, why did you help him do the job?
20:00He said he and Bernie would do it alone
20:02if I didn't help,
20:04that it would be more dangerous.
20:07I just didn't want him to get hurt.
20:10Good.
20:11Good.
20:14I'm sorry, Lynn,
20:15but there are certain things that I do need to know,
20:17even if it hurts.
20:19Hey,
20:20you still want me to represent you?
20:24Good.
20:25You've got the best in the business.
20:29You don't believe me?
20:31It's what Miss Vernon said.
20:33About me?
20:39All through for the day.
20:40Yeah, well and truly.
20:42Everything all right?
20:43Oh, yes,
20:44it's just been one of those days.
20:45Well, mine on the whole was rather successful.
20:48I went to see Lynn Wanda today.
20:49Oh, how's she getting on?
20:50I don't think she'll be trying to be like that again.
20:53Well,
20:53just going to have to watch her more carefully this time,
20:55aren't we?
20:55Good night.
20:56A secret.
20:57Would you like to come around for dinner one night this week?
21:00Oh,
21:00thank you.
21:01I'd love to.
21:01Great.
21:02I can't guarantee what the meal would be like,
21:04but the conversation would be marvellous.
21:12You wanted to see me,
21:13Miss Bennett?
21:13Yes,
21:14there's a parcel for you.
21:15I'll have to check it,
21:16but you heard me.
21:36Sorry.
21:45It's just that I've never seen her so quiet.
21:48She didn't seem to enjoy herself at all last night.
21:50It's probably a phase she's going through, Catherine,
21:52you know,
21:53feeling embarrassed about going out with mum and dad.
21:56You'll have to have a talk to her again.
21:58I tried last night,
21:59but she shied away from me.
22:00She did say she wasn't feeling very well,
22:02but she hasn't got a temperature.
22:04I hope she's not coming down with flu.
22:06It'd have to be something like that.
22:07Normally,
22:08wild horses wouldn't keep her away from school.
22:11You don't think she's been in some sort of trouble at school,
22:13do you?
22:14Why?
22:14Did she say something to you?
22:16No.
22:17No,
22:17it's her attitude more than anything else.
22:19It's,
22:20well,
22:21it's as if she's frightened to go back to school.
22:24She could have gotten into trouble with one of the teachers.
22:26Or had a fight with one of her friends.
22:28Oh,
22:28she's hardly the roughneck type enough.
22:31Oh,
22:31well,
22:32one day off school won't do her any harm.
22:34I'll have to rush.
22:35See you tonight.
22:37Have a good day.
22:38Thanks.
22:38Mom.
22:57Mom,
22:57where are you?
22:59I'm here,
23:00darling.
23:00What is it?
23:01Mom!
23:02What's the matter?
23:03Did you have a nightmare?
23:07What is it,
23:08Sarah?
23:08Tell me.
23:10Please,
23:10darling.
23:12He said he was a friend of Ted's.
23:15Who said?
23:16That man.
23:17What man?
23:20What man are you talking about,
23:22Sarah?
23:23What happened?
23:25He,
23:26he raped me.
23:35Oh,
23:36God,
23:37wouldn't you think they'd get sick of dishing up the same old muck every morning?
23:40And if I see another plate of porridge,
23:41it'll throw up everywhere.
23:43You ain't enough of it.
23:44Well,
23:44I've got to keep the strength up,
23:45don't I,
23:45Lizzie?
23:46Yeah.
23:46Hey.
23:48Well,
23:48well,
23:49good.
23:49Look who's here.
23:51Good morning,
23:51Vera.
23:52Lovely day,
23:53isn't it?
23:53Hello,
23:54Vera.
23:54How are you,
23:55Miss Bennett?
23:56What's it feel like not having your old buddy in the same cell,
23:58Smith?
23:59You'll never know what a big favour you did me,
24:01Vera.
24:02Don't have to listen to Monty snoring anymore,
24:03now do I?
24:04Yeah,
24:04Bea and I always did get on better when we didn't share the same dog.
24:08Don't worry,
24:08Ferguson.
24:09I haven't forgot you and your friend setting me up.
24:12It was only a joke,
24:13Miss Bennett.
24:14Come on,
24:14Lizzie.
24:16Let's go.
24:26It's just you,
24:27you gave me a fright.
24:28I'll give you more than a fright if you're not careful.
24:30What do you think you're playing at?
24:31I don't know what you mean.
24:32Why haven't you handed that parcel to Ferguson?
24:35She told me to wait.
24:36Look,
24:37she doesn't want the other women to know,
24:38so she told me to hang on to it until the coast's clear.
24:41When will that be?
24:42Well,
24:42I was just going.
24:44All you have to do is keep them busy while I put it in Monica's cell.
24:48Then you arrange to have the cell searched.
24:51I can't order a spot check,
24:52not without good reason.
24:53You'll have to think of one then,
24:55won't you?
24:55If this doesn't work,
25:00you'll regret it.
25:01I wonder how Miss McBride's doing.
25:13Reckon she'll be okay,
25:14Frankie?
25:15She's done all right before.
25:17Bloody nephew of hers.
25:19It's only after her money.
25:21Huh.
25:22Visiting her once a year.
25:24I hope she's not too lonely.
25:36How much we got left out of what she gave us?
25:39Nothing.
25:40How come?
25:41Needed some fags.
25:42I could have got something to eat out of that.
25:45Take one of the dollar to feed you,
25:46you great elephant.
25:46Oh,
25:47look who's talking.
25:48Oh,
25:48yeah?
25:48Yeah.
25:54What are you doing?
26:08Looking for a job.
26:10You're off your rock.
26:11Oh,
26:12no.
26:12All we've got to do is find a big place,
26:14like a factory,
26:15and then we can get into the crowd
26:17and no one will check up on us.
26:19Waste of bloody time.
26:21Oh,
26:21you've got a better idea.
26:24Oh,
26:26here's one.
26:28Packers wanted.
26:29That sounds like something we could do,
26:31Frankie.
26:31Too risky.
26:33It wouldn't be so risky
26:34if just one of us checked it out.
26:37If we split up,
26:38just till one of us gets a job.
26:40I've had a gutful of working in factories.
26:42You all right,
26:43then?
26:43I'll go.
26:45You wait here.
26:46I won't be long.
26:48Hey,
26:48Doreen.
26:51You're not running out on me,
26:52are you?
26:52Stupid lug.
26:55We're a team,
26:56aren't we?
27:08Oh,
27:08Meg,
27:09good.
27:09Vera has just told me
27:11she thinks some of the women
27:11are planning to break out of prison.
27:13I overheard them talking in the laundry.
27:14Have you heard
27:15or noticed anything like that,
27:16Meg?
27:17No,
27:17but surely they wouldn't.
27:19Oh,
27:19well,
27:19if Doyle and Anderson got away with it,
27:20they probably think they can also.
27:22Some of them already have knives
27:23hidden in their cells.
27:24Do you know who were involved?
27:25Well,
27:26it sounded like Smith and her crowd,
27:28but it could be another one
27:29of their little jokes.
27:29We can't afford to take any chances.
27:31We'll have spot checks
27:32of the cells now.
27:32You're next.
27:51You're next.
27:51Flaming cheek.
28:08Yeah,
28:08what's going on?
28:10Hey,
28:10Lizzie,
28:10what have you pinched this time?
28:11Nothing.
28:12I'm going straight.
28:13Quiet.
28:14All right,
28:16Ferguson,
28:17your turn.
28:27Excuse me,
28:27Mrs. Davidson.
28:28May I ask what you're looking for?
28:30Do you think we've smuggled in a man
28:32or something?
28:33Mrs. Davidson.
28:34I found them under the pillow.
28:39I don't know where the hell
28:39they came from.
28:40I swear.
28:40Be quiet.
28:41Look,
28:41they're not mine,
28:42I'm telling you.
28:43Where did you get these?
28:44I don't know.
28:46I didn't put them there.
28:48You know the penalty
28:49for possessing drugs?
28:59Now,
28:59Sarah,
29:00you say this man
29:00was a friend of your father's.
29:02Can you remember his name?
29:05Jack Harris,
29:07I think.
29:08I've never heard
29:09Ken mention him.
29:10It was probably just a ploy
29:11to get Sarah in the car.
29:13But he said he knew me.
29:14He could have found that out
29:15a dozen different ways.
29:18Had you ever seen
29:18the man before,
29:19Sarah?
29:20Perhaps around
29:21outside the school?
29:24Would you recognize
29:25this man again?
29:26Yes.
29:27Well,
29:27your description's
29:28a little vague.
29:30Dark hair,
29:31brown eyes,
29:31about six feet,
29:33wearing a blue
29:34or dark grey suit.
29:35Well,
29:35isn't that enough?
29:37Mrs. Roberts,
29:37there could be hundreds
29:38of men out there
29:39that answer that description.
29:40And one of them
29:41attacked my daughter.
29:44Sarah,
29:44can you remember
29:45anything about his car?
29:47Any of the registration,
29:48for instance?
29:49I'm sorry.
29:51Don't you worry.
29:51Take your time.
29:53Now,
29:53what about the colour
29:54or the make of the car?
29:58Red.
30:00But I don't know
30:01what kind it was.
30:02Oh, look,
30:02my daughter was being
30:03molested at the time.
30:05How can you possibly
30:06expect her to remember
30:07what sort of car it was?
30:09Mrs. Roberts,
30:09please,
30:09we know this isn't easy,
30:10but we'll need
30:11all the help your daughter
30:12can give us
30:12if we're going
30:13to find him.
30:14Now,
30:14this vacant lot,
30:16do you think
30:16you could find that again?
30:18I don't know.
30:19I might.
30:21Did he use force?
30:22Really,
30:22Sergeant,
30:23he hit her.
30:23Isn't that enough?
30:24Mrs. Roberts,
30:25we have to ask
30:26these questions.
30:27Did he have a knife
30:28or a weapon
30:29of any sort?
30:32Sarah,
30:33do you remember
30:33if you fought him?
30:35Perhaps you might
30:35have scratched him.
30:36I tried,
30:38but he was too strong.
30:40He hit me
30:40and said he'd kill me
30:41if I screamed.
30:43I tried,
30:44but,
30:45but,
30:45Sarah,
30:47it'll all be over soon,
30:48darling.
30:50Mrs. Roberts,
30:50could we have the uniform
30:51that Sarah was wearing
30:52yesterday, please?
30:53Why?
30:54I will send it to Frindsick
30:55if it might tell you something.
30:57I washed it.
30:59I beg your pardon?
31:00Well,
31:01last night.
31:03It was dirty.
31:04I didn't know then
31:05about Sarah,
31:05and so I washed it.
31:10I won't ask you again.
31:11Look,
31:12how can I tell you
31:13something?
31:13I don't know.
31:14I swear to God,
31:15somebody else put
31:16that stuff there,
31:16not me.
31:17All right.
31:18You'll be confined
31:19to solitary
31:20until we get
31:20to the bottom.
31:21You can't do that.
31:22See to it,
31:22Miss Bennet.
31:22Yes,
31:23Mrs. Davidson.
31:23See,
31:23there is someone
31:24on duty in the garden
31:25at all times.
31:26It would be a simple matter
31:27for drugs to be thrown
31:28over the fence.
31:29I've been set up
31:30for,
31:30Sarah.
31:32I will not have
31:33this happening again.
31:34I want security
31:35tightened immediately.
31:37Everything coming
31:37into the prison
31:38must be searched,
31:39and I mean thoroughly.
31:40I want all visitors
31:41searched,
31:42and all officers
31:42and staff.
31:44I can't rule out
31:45the fact that a member
31:46of my staff
31:46could have brought
31:47them in, Meg.
31:48I suppose not.
31:49If we can't find out
31:50how they came in,
31:51at least we can stop
31:52any more from coming in.
31:53By the way,
31:54did you find any knives
31:55or anything in the cells?
31:57It was probably,
31:58as Vera said,
31:59a joke.
31:59A joke.
31:59Well,
32:15how do you think
32:15it went?
32:16Where's the rest of it?
32:18What do you mean?
32:19That doll would have
32:19held ten times
32:20as many pills as that.
32:23Monica must have
32:23already distributed them.
32:25Who did you ring?
32:26What?
32:26Who did Monica Ferguson
32:27ask you to ring?
32:30I don't know.
32:31I mean,
32:32she just gave me
32:33the phone number.
32:34I tore it up.
32:35I can't remember
32:36what it was.
32:37Your aunt's not
32:37going to let this rest,
32:38you know.
32:39She'll go flat out
32:39to find how that stuff
32:40got in here.
32:42She'll only know
32:43if you tell her.
32:44But you wouldn't do that.
32:46You could lose your job.
32:48Oh, don't worry.
32:49I won't say anything either.
32:51I mean,
32:52I may need you.
32:54You little bitch.
32:56Mr Roberts,
33:03you sure the name
33:03Jack Harris
33:04doesn't ring a bell?
33:05I mean,
33:06you could have met him
33:06some years ago.
33:07No, no.
33:08I never heard of him,
33:09Sergeant.
33:11All right.
33:11Well, that's all we need
33:12at this stage.
33:14You go up to bed, darling.
33:15I'll be up in a minute.
33:19We'll bring some photographs
33:20around for Sarah
33:20to look at,
33:21Mrs Roberts.
33:22Photographs?
33:23Known sex offenders.
33:24You mean there are
33:25men out there
33:26that you know
33:27are rapists
33:28and you do nothing
33:29whatsoever about it?
33:31It's the court's job
33:32to put them away,
33:32Mrs Roberts.
33:33We just try and catch them.
33:34We want this man
33:35in court, Sergeant.
33:36And so do we.
33:38But I'll be honest with you,
33:38we haven't got much
33:39to work on.
33:40Well, a vague description
33:41of the man,
33:42no idea of the make of car,
33:43and it won't be easy.
33:44And it's unlikely
33:45if we do find him
33:46that it'll stand up
33:47in court.
33:48What do you mean?
33:49Sarah didn't report
33:50the rape straight away,
33:51Mrs Roberts.
33:51She waited over 15 hours,
33:53she had showered,
33:54and her uniform was washed.
33:55Normally, in rape cases,
33:57the victim has to be examined
33:58by a police doctor
33:59as soon as possible.
34:00Well, you called in
34:01our own doctor, didn't you?
34:02Yes, as soon as Sarah
34:03told me.
34:05And he confirmed
34:06that she'd be molested.
34:08Does Sarah have a boyfriend?
34:10No.
34:10What's that got to do
34:11with anything?
34:12Well, we have known cases,
34:13Mrs Roberts,
34:13where a girl has a boyfriend
34:14and they have intercourse
34:16and the girl gets scared
34:17and says she's been raped.
34:18Well, look,
34:19we've brought up
34:19our daughter properly, Sergeant.
34:21That means she knows
34:21the facts of life.
34:22If she says she's been raped
34:23by this animal,
34:24then we believe her.
34:26Yes, Mr Roberts.
34:28Well, we'll get back to you.
34:34Why the hell
34:34didn't she tell us last night?
34:36She was ashamed.
34:38She didn't want us
34:38thinking badly of her.
34:40Oh, why would we do that
34:41for crying out loud?
34:43Maybe, maybe we've expected
34:45too much of her.
34:47Maybe if we hadn't put her
34:48on such a high pedestal,
34:50she might have found it
34:51easier to confide in us.
34:52It's hot.
34:54I hope it was.
34:56Sorry.
34:56Oh, sorry.
35:03Oh, sorry.
35:35May I have the incoming parcels booked, please?
36:02I don't care how innocent a parcel looks.
36:04I want it and its contents checked thoroughly.
36:07If you have any doubts at all, I expect to be advised.
36:10Have you put someone in the garden?
36:11I've been there most of the afternoon.
36:12Bala's just taken over.
36:14Monica Ferguson hasn't received a parcel since she's been in here.
36:17Well, it could have come in by a visitor.
36:20From now on, I want two officers on duty in reception.
36:24They are to check all personal belongings of visitors and staff.
36:27And at no time is a prisoner to have physical contact with any visitor.
36:31I shall also want spot checks on the cells at odd intervals.
36:34Is that clear?
36:35I just can't figure it.
36:40I mean, Monty's never been into drugs.
36:41It's just not in her.
36:42She may have been an aspirin freak, but that's as far as it goes.
36:45Well, maybe she wanted to make some money inside.
36:48Yeah, there are enough druggies in here to make a killing.
36:50Oh, God, I don't know.
36:53Look, I've known Monty for years.
36:54She wouldn't.
36:57There's some people that do anything for money.
36:59You know what really gets my goat?
37:01Is that we're not going to have a shred of privacy left us,
37:03nor because of some bitch.
37:05And I'm not saying I think it's Monty either.
37:07They're going to be watching us so carefully,
37:09we won't be able to spit in private.
37:10And I'll lay you a hundred to one.
37:12They'll be searching ourselves every chance they get.
37:15Yeah, why the hell couldn't you have brought in some booze?
37:18It's good you could get hooked on those drugs,
37:20but Plonk never did nobody any harm.
37:23Oh, shut up, Lizzie.
37:35Frankie?
37:38Frankie?
37:40Where are you?
37:43Frankie, it's me!
37:44Where have you bloody well-being?
37:49I went for that job.
37:50I told you.
37:51Four bloody hours couldn't have taken you that long.
37:53They gave me a test run, packing some fruit.
37:57Did you get it?
37:59I blew it, Frankie.
38:02Oh, I was doing real good.
38:04Then I got hungry.
38:07Monty took a few bits,
38:09but I didn't know anyone was looking.
38:11Oh, I'm sorry, Frankie.
38:14You'd have made a lousy packer anyhow.
38:16But I got us somewhere to stay.
38:19How come?
38:20Oh, well, I met this guy I knew years ago.
38:23Funny.
38:24I met him just as I was coming out the factory.
38:25Small world, huh?
38:27Anyway, he doesn't care what I've done or nothing.
38:30And he said we could bunk in with him for a while, you know,
38:32just till we get on our feet.
38:34For old time's sake.
38:36Why didn't you think of this bloke when we first broke out?
38:39Thought you said you didn't know anyone.
38:40Yeah.
38:41Well, that was just because I didn't know where he lived.
38:44His name's Todd.
38:46Toddy.
38:50Where is this bloke?
38:51His house?
38:53Oh, no.
38:53No, he works on night shift.
38:54That's why we could move in.
38:56He won't be back till the morning.
39:01You just met him today, didn't you?
39:04Oh, no, Frankie.
39:07Honest.
39:07Honest.
39:10Yeah.
39:13How come he's letting us move in, Doreen?
39:16You had it off with him, didn't you?
39:19So what if I did?
39:20It got us a roof over our heads, didn't it?
39:22And you weren't coming up with anything better.
39:28Sick of running, Frankie.
39:31I just want to stop for a while, that's all.
39:34It's not going to kill me.
39:40Just for a few days, until we think of something else, okay?
39:43Oh, did you have a bit of a sleep?
40:04What's wrong?
40:08I was just remembering back a couple of years, when you wanted to join the pony club, remember?
40:16And then you had that accident, and you fell off, and you hurt yourself.
40:20I didn't want to go back.
40:23No, but I said you had to.
40:25Otherwise, you'd always be too scared to ever ride a horse again.
40:29Dad didn't want me to go back either.
40:33Aren't you glad you did?
40:34You're really awfully good now.
40:40Mum, what'll happen if they catch that man?
40:45There'll be a trial.
40:46Will I have to go?
40:48Yes, Sarah.
40:50Why?
40:52Well, they'll want to ask you some questions.
40:55And they'll want you to tell them that that was the man.
40:59I can't.
41:01I can't face him again.
41:03But he's got to be punished.
41:05I don't want to, and I can't see him again.
41:09Nobody believes me anyway.
41:11Darling, we believe you.
41:13And your father and I won't let you be hurt anymore.
41:33What are you doing out here?
41:35I wanted to see you.
41:37I've been doing a little thinking, Vera.
41:40It's not going to be very comfortable in here.
41:42You know, being watched all the time.
41:44It's the same for everyone.
41:45And I'm used to a bit of privacy and a few home comforts.
41:49Something like a portable television, for instance.
41:52Or colour, of course.
41:53I'd like it in my cell.
41:55Don't you think that'd make life a little more bearable, Vera?
41:58That's impossible.
41:59Oh, no, it isn't.
42:00Some women are allowed special privileges.
42:01And I'm sure you could arrange it through Auntie Erica.
42:06Of course, I couldn't pay for it.
42:08But I'm sure a friend like you would be able to do something about that.
42:12Don't try and blackmail me, Davidson.
42:15Blackmail?
42:16Oh, I wouldn't say that.
42:18I'd just say it was payment for services rendered.
42:22As soon as possible, Vera.
42:24Now, if I ever find you or anyone else hanging around Ferguson's cell again,
42:36I'll see you all spend a little time in solitary.
42:38Where's Barbara Davidson?
42:40Here.
42:41Where have you been?
42:42Nature called.
42:44Is that all right, or do I have to ask permission?
42:50Did you find out anything, Bea?
42:54I reckon Monica's innocent.
42:57I don't think she had anything to do with those drugs.
43:00Well, has she any idea how they got into her cell?
43:02Well, that's what we're going to have to find out.
43:04And the cow who did it isn't going to get away with it
43:07if it's the last thing I do.
43:09It's probably Vera.
43:11Probably.
43:12Anyway, whoever did it is going to be very sorry.
43:16Sometimes you could take the lure into your own hands
43:18to see that justice is done properly.
43:24Sorry, Omnice, I've had to catch up on some work.
43:32Well, how is she?
43:35I had to call the doctor again.
43:37He's given her a sedative.
43:40Did you have to go back to work?
43:42Well, Omnice, nothing more I could do here, Catherine.
43:46You know that.
43:47She would have needed you more than me.
43:50I think the sooner we all get back to normal,
43:53the better it will be for all of us.
43:55Don't forget what's happened, you mean?
43:58Oh, no, no, no, of course not.
43:59Ken, what are we going to do?
44:08Well, there's nothing much we can do now.
44:10Let the police handle things.
44:14Although.
44:15Although what?
44:17No, nothing, love.
44:19Oh, come on.
44:20What were you going to say?
44:21I just...
44:24I don't think they're going to catch this, Blacklove.
44:26But they've got to.
44:29Oh, what if they do?
44:29What then?
44:31Just means that Sarah's going to have to go
44:32through the whole thing again?
44:34Relive every moment?
44:36Oh, God, don't you think I know that?
44:38She's my daughter and I know what she's going through.
44:41She's going through hell because some animal...
44:45He's got to be punished.
44:47He's got to be made to suffer.
44:49He's not going to get away with this.
44:55I won't let him.
45:19He's got to be made to suffer.
