00:00I said no comment!
00:02Those women must have known the risks of working in prison.
00:04Do you think it's right that a large sum attack...
00:10Take it easy, mate. Don't let those bastards get to you.
00:12Chris, I need your help.
00:13Yeah, what? I'm sick of waiting for the police to do something.
00:15I gotta leave. Will you help me?
00:16Yeah, pop in.
00:17Of course, I didn't say I wouldn't leave you here to break yourselves up.
00:20I'll get blown up by the cops if they ever find a place.
00:23That's what I'd really like.
00:24To see a dozen or so cops blow themselves away with you.
00:28Then I won't be here to see it happen.
00:31Me and Mum and the day will be long gone.
00:35Could we at least have a drink before you go?
00:39Sure.
00:48Help yourself.
00:54You have to face reality.
00:56Don't say that to her.
00:59Brian!
01:00Nobody talks to Mum like that. Nobody.
01:02Where have you been, love? I've been awfully worried about you.
01:06I'm alright, Mum.
01:07I can take care of myself.
01:10Who says I can't get out of bed, eh?
01:12I did it, Mum.
01:13What?
01:14What do you say?
01:16I kidnapped them two women.
01:17I thought it all out myself, Mum.
01:19I want you to go and pack a beer because we're going away.
01:22Ryan, you're not serious.
01:23Why are they, Lowell?
01:24Shut up.
01:25Telly, dammit! Telly!
01:26Ryan!
01:30Get off!
01:32I'm sorry, Mum.
01:33Ryan!
01:34Oh, God!
01:35Oh, God!
01:36Ryan!
01:37Oh, God!
01:38Oh, God!
01:59Yes, I'm sorry to, but I've got to ask you a few questions, okay?
02:04Now, what were you doing here?
02:08Oh, Phil, he rang me, asked me for a favour, wanted me to pick him up from Wentworth.
02:15Well, did he tell you what he wanted to do?
02:18Not until we were in the car.
02:20He said he wanted to talk urgently to a Mrs. Lowe.
02:23I presume it had something to do with Meg.
02:26Well, he wouldn't explain. He was very jumpy.
02:29I just wish...
02:31I could have stopped him.
02:34Well, maybe.
02:36Did you see anybody leave this place?
02:38No, no, your officers told me to stay put.
02:42I...
02:42No one came out.
02:45No, I was hoping Mrs. Lowe might be able to tell us where he's been hiding for the past few days,
02:49but I can't get much sense out of her at the moment.
02:53Well, I've got to give a press interview in half an hour.
02:59I'd better get the worst of this over first.
03:01What could be worse?
03:03Informing young Cleary's parents.
03:06I'd like to be with you.
03:08I have to, Inspector.
03:10He was my best friend.
03:11Yeah, okay.
03:22So, Stephanie is laying on the ground with the freak looking down at me.
03:25You should have heard her pretty pleased Miss Ferguson met me keeping.
03:27I did not say that.
03:28Oh, you did say that.
03:29The freak takes one look at the frog and the frog makes up.
03:32Yeah, he's a great little mover, I reckon.
03:34I reckon he could have jumped 10 feet.
03:35Oh, Paul.
03:36He could.
03:37Pity they're so hard to catch because they'd be ace to race.
03:40Would you use something else?
03:41Not one.
03:42Hey, we could use ants, couldn't we?
03:44Don't be stupid.
03:45If they all got mixed up, how would you know which one was yours?
03:47Well, you'd think of something better than...
03:49What about those slater things?
03:50There's millions of them in the garden.
03:51Oh, you might as well race snails.
03:53Of course.
03:54Why didn't I think of it before?
03:57Peripanata.
03:58Peripa who?
03:59Peripanata.
04:00Oh, they're quite big, some of them, and gosh, they're pretty.
04:02You seen any lately?
04:03Oh, yes, there are a lot of them down by a compost heap.
04:06Oh, forget it.
04:07That thing's crawling with roaches.
04:09That's what I'm talking about, silly.
04:12Cockroaches?
04:12Oh, yuck.
04:13What are you trying to do?
04:14I'm going to be sick.
04:15Oh, but they're lovely little things that they don't bite.
04:18Forget it.
04:18They're filthy.
04:19They are not.
04:20They wouldn't shine if they were filthy.
04:22Yeah, you're right, Picks.
04:23Tell you what, Warren, five bucks says any cockroach I find.
04:26You can run the legs off yours.
04:28Does that go for anyone?
04:29All you need is five bucks for cockroach.
04:31Warren?
04:31Come on, rabbit, we can make a packet.
04:35All right.
04:35Oh, beauty, you got it, girl.
04:37Cockroaches, I'm going to the dunny.
04:38I saw one hand up.
04:39Now, we've got more important things to do.
04:41Like what?
04:42Well, you wanted to trial, didn't you?
04:43That's what you're going to get.
04:44You ready to prosecute?
04:46Yep.
04:46Got your case for the defence ready, Pixie?
04:48Oh, I hope so.
04:49Go and get your client.
04:51Okay.
04:55Right.
04:55Let's get this room organised.
05:00Done it again, have you?
05:03You stupid bitches never learn, do you?
05:05We had to.
05:06We couldn't breathe.
05:08Then don't bloody breathe.
05:11You hear me?
05:12Don't take it all again.
05:13Leave her alone.
05:13Stop it.
05:13The way you spoke to my Phyllis.
05:17No wonder she went off her head.
05:18Nothing to do with it.
05:20You know, I always thought you top brass were different from the rest of us.
05:24But you're not.
05:26I just killed a mate of yours.
05:29You know what?
05:30He bled.
05:31Just like everybody else.
05:33No.
05:34Shut up.
05:34Don't.
05:36Stupid.
05:37Well, stupid, they're not taking this seriously.
05:39What are you going to tell me?
05:42No.
05:44Henry.
05:45You.
05:45Morris.
05:46Nick Morris.
05:47Please help us.
05:49Okay.
05:49Now read this.
05:51And I mean every word.
05:53Yes?
06:01Hello.
06:02Oh, gosh, I hope I'm not interrupting you, am I?
06:05You are.
06:06What do you want?
06:07Well, I just thought you'd like to come and watch television for a little while because it
06:11must be awfully lonely here all by yourself.
06:14You've taken the television away and I prefer to be alone.
06:17Now, what do you really want?
06:20Well, Myra would like to see you in the recreation room and I think you ought to go because there
06:23would be dreadful trouble if you don't.
06:26Well, we wouldn't want that, would we?
06:28That means you'll come?
06:30When I finish writing this, wait outside.
06:33Okay.
06:34Oh, don't be too long, though, will you?
06:40Please don't take this lightly.
06:42He means what he says.
06:44Help us, please.
06:49Nicely said, Governor.
06:51Real nice.
06:53Now, you better hope that those brass monkeys believe it.
06:56Please, give us something to eat or at least drink.
06:59We haven't had any...
07:00I'm giving you nothing.
07:01I'm giving you what you go, Phyllis.
07:03Nothing.
07:06And you can just shut up.
07:10No.
07:11No.
07:11No.
07:11No.
07:12No.
07:12No.
07:12No.
07:12No.
07:13No.
07:13No.
07:13No.
07:13No.
07:14No.
07:14No.
07:15No.
07:15No.
07:15No.
07:15No.
07:19No.
07:22Sir, she took our kid.
07:25Phyllis really loved that little girl.
07:29Well, you took her.
07:31Made her an orphan.
07:35And then you killed, Phyllis.
07:37And you put her on a slander.
07:39And drove her crazy.
07:46And no more.
07:46Now it's our turn
07:50You're mongrel, mate
07:55Make sure we get everything we ask for
08:00And you better hope they do, lady
08:08Because I've got nothing to lose
08:11Nothing
08:16Waste of bloody time
08:33Give the bitch a thump on it and save ourselves the trouble
08:35Doesn't work that way, Kelly
08:36You heard what Myra said, this is going to be a fair trial
08:39Yeah, then we'll give her a thump
08:40It's going to be a fair jury, too
08:43Which means that you, and you, Jacko
08:45And you, out
08:46Marlene, Pam, and Sam, you come in
08:49Big buggered, we want to find the bitch guilty
08:51And we want a fair trial, out
08:53We're coming
08:54Oh, sorry, Myra
09:02Sarah had to finish writing a letter
09:04That's okay, no great hurry
09:06Have a seat, Higgins
09:08Make yourself comfortable
09:09Sounds very formal
09:13Should I be naive and ask if this is going to be a social evening
09:17Memory's a bit hazy tonight
09:20Correct me if I'm wrong
09:22If I'm the judge
09:24And I am

09:51Good night
09:52It's not up to you, Higgins
09:56The women think you owe them a trial
09:59And I agree with them
10:00And I have no say in it, I suppose

10:10Sorry, person
10:11Judy Bryant
10:12Defence counsel, Hixie Mason

18:44help now get that money and be here tomorrow morning do it colby or would you rather explain
18:49to the press that you were personally responsible for the deaths of those two women
18:53see you in the morning sir
19:00i was the visiting judge i had to make instant decisions you mean you were only acting out what
19:07the department expected of you yes it's the same as you being top dogma you have to be strong to be
19:14respected were you worried about losing your job if you were too lenient yes
19:18look none of you understand i didn't enjoy handing out punishments i i only had a chart sheet
19:26on the officer's reports i didn't know any of you then or any of your problems you were just
19:32files with criminal records well now that you do know us would you have sentenced us differently
19:37of course i would have there you are no further questions thank you oh yes i can see all now
19:47you had time to investigate the facts before handing down extended sentences why didn't you use it but
19:54i didn't have time this wasn't the only prison i worked at i had to see hundreds of women oh yeah
20:00we all look the same didn't we just like rubbish you didn't want to dirty your hands on no that's not
20:06which i think it is ladies of the jury this woman if you could call her that took great delight in
20:14extending our sentences despite the fact that those brought before her might not have been guilty of the charges
20:19is there anyone amongst you hasn't been punished by her
20:24that's right most of us have suffered if she had her way none of us would have got out of here ever
20:39you're as guilty as hell higgins
20:42that's the case for the prosecution
20:45would the jury like to retire what for
20:50if we don't need to
20:52yeah hands up those who know she's guilty oh wait a minute shouldn't we talk about
20:57the jury has made a decision the verdict is guilty
21:04do you have anything to say before i hand down a sentence not much point is there
21:10but remember if anything happens to me you'll all get extra time
21:15sarah higgins i hereby sentence you to cleaning the cells of all those that you're sentenced
21:24to losing your buy-up to anyone who loses theirs
21:29to doing punishment duties for anyone who receives it

26:23Good morning, Pixie.
26:23Has Sarah gone to the shower, too?
26:25Why?
26:25No idea, love.
26:26Her cell's around the corner.
26:27Oh, yes.
26:28Well, I just wanted to apologize for yesterday.
26:30Heavens, I can't believe how clever Red was.
26:33She even made me believe Sarah was guilty.
26:35And heavens, I was a defense counsel.
26:37Excuse me.
26:38I won't be a...
26:39Thank God for Pixie.
26:40Now, what's this about your mum?
26:42Oh, I don't know.
26:43There's just nothing to be done about it, I suppose.
26:45It's just saying to Jude that I couldn't sleep last week.
26:47Yeah, well, I'm going to front the governor today, and hopefully we'll be up...
26:50What the hell was that?
26:54What do you make it?
26:55What's the matter?
26:56Sarah, she's dead.
26:58Somebody's killed her.
27:00Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen.
27:13I warned you.
27:15I told you what I'd do if you took them off again.
27:18Yeah, you're going to get it, screw.
27:19You're going to get it!
27:21I told you they were choking us.
27:29Bastard.
27:31You miserable, sadistic bastard.
27:35What does that make you?
27:38You put Phyllis in a metal arm.
27:41That's different, is it?
27:43Well, that's not, lady.
27:44I promised her you'd suffer.
27:48Are you suffering, sweetheart?
27:50Only last requests.
27:53Will you give us some water?
27:57Please.
27:58Water?
28:00Of course, go.
28:02Right way, go.
28:05Anything you say, go.
28:07Fresh water, please.
28:09The rats were crawling up in there.
28:12Rats?
28:14Huh.
28:15That's not good, is it, eh?
28:17Hell no.
28:21I'd better empty it out.
28:32Get you some fresh stuff.
28:36Tell you what.
28:38I'll do it when I come back.
28:41You know when that's going to be?
28:44Never.
28:47I'm going to get my money now.
28:52Oh!
28:54Don't go give me your hopes up,
28:55because even if they catch me,
28:57I'm not telling them where you are.
28:59Not ever.
29:00Hey, Mara, already got her.
29:14Thanks.
29:15How's the pizza?
29:16She'll be okay.
29:17I've sent her to the infirmary.
29:18Did you find out what happened?
29:19No, we will soon, though.
29:20The cops are here already.
29:21Oh, that's goodbye, Rev, isn't it?
29:23What do you mean?
29:24Come on.
29:24As soon as they find out I'm the one who spoke against her at the trial,
29:27they ship me to Blackmore and throw away the key.
29:29Oh, tell them.
29:29Take your feet.
29:30Now, come on.
29:31I was the one that set the bloody trial up, remember?
29:33They've got to prove it was murder first.
29:35I reckon she done herself in.
29:36No, no way, Bobby.
29:37Why not?
29:38People are funny creatures.
29:39They use a razor blade, they slash their wrists.
29:42Her throat was cut from ear to ear.
29:44People just don't do that.
29:46I knew this would happen.
29:48Told the governor to be on if she put Higgins in with the other women.
29:51Oh, I don't suppose Mrs. Reynolds had much choice.
29:53Any more takers?
29:54I must remember you for the next funeral.
29:56You'd be a great help at a wake.
29:58I'd be a great help anywhere, Ferguson.
30:00Now, do you want coffee or not?
30:02Or don't your kind drink like normal people?
30:06Sorry to call you all here,
30:07but the police want to talk to you.
30:08They're interviewing Pat Slattery at the moment.
30:10You need to take this, Joyce.
30:11You look like you can do with it.
30:13Thanks, Len.
30:14It hasn't been an easy morning for anyone.
30:15Now, would you mind sitting down, please?
30:17Yes.
30:18Well, how old are women?
30:20Oh, quiet.
30:21It's got me tossed.
30:22It's almost as if they didn't know who did it.
30:25Well, someone did.
30:26The police have ruled out suicide.
30:28How can they be so certain?
30:29Well, they didn't find a knife or any instrument.
30:32They went the way it was done.
30:33Impossible to self-inflict, they said.
30:35Well, Pat said everything was all right
30:36when she locked up last night.
30:38Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
30:40No wonder the police want to talk to us.
30:42Well, I mean, if Higgins was still alive at lock-up,
30:45well, the other women couldn't have got to it, could they?
30:47Sort of narrows the field down to whoever was on duty last night.
30:51Oh, I don't think they suspect the staff.
30:54Oh, it's just a thought.
30:55It's happened in other places.
30:57Mind you, it'd be easy to check.
30:58Just got to look at the daily report
31:00to see if a prisoner's filed a charge of assault against...
31:02You go to hell, Murphy.
31:03You know damn well I've been accused of assault and clear...
31:05I don't think Len mentioned...
31:06And I'm not the only one, mister.
31:08Even Meg Morris has been accused of that.
31:12Well, yes, but she wasn't on night duty, was she?
31:18Oh!
31:19Oh!
31:19What's wrong?
31:20Splinters, bloody splinters.
31:23I'm all right.
31:23Keep trying.
31:25Oh, it's no use.
31:26We're not getting anywhere.
31:27Keep trying!
31:28Meg, we have to.
31:33You heard him.
31:33He's not coming back.
31:35Even if we did get free, how would we get out of the building?
31:38He said they have tripwires everywhere.
31:39You just want to stay here and...
31:41Nothing.
31:42I don't want to blow myself up, Anne.
31:45Let's wait for the police.
31:47They'll have to find us sooner or later.
31:49I'm not dying of starvation in the meantime.
31:53All right.
31:55But we'll never cut through these ropes.
31:58Yes, we will.
32:00How?
32:01The bottle.
32:03If we can get that, break it.
32:08Let's try.
32:09Let's try.
32:09I'm touching it.
32:33I'll see you next time.
32:44Okay.
32:44Oh, my God.
33:14I'll just get my breath.
33:29How are you going to break it?
33:32One of those bolts.
33:44And you're sure it's impossible?
33:55Yes.
33:56Oh, I'm not saying they couldn't make a key and get into a cell,
33:59but they'd have to get out of their own cell first,
34:01and there's no keyhole on their side.
34:03Fair enough.
34:04So it happened after lock-up?
34:05Of course it didn't.
34:07Surely the coroner can tell you that?
34:08It's not that easy, Miss Ferguson.
34:10The coroner can only tell us an hour either way.
34:12Why?
34:13What's worrying you?
34:13What I'm worried about is that some idiot
34:15is going to think it was one of the staff.
34:17Oh, I think the inspector's been in the game far too long
34:20to think that, Joan.
34:21We'd be the idiots if we tried anything after lock-up.
34:23Be too obvious.
34:24Isn't that right, Inspector?
34:26Well, I'd say so, Len, yes.
34:28Besides, your officer Slattery said
34:30she can't recall hearing any noise from Higgins
34:32after she locked her in.
34:33So I'd say she was already dead by 8.30.
34:37Satisfied, Joan?
34:39All right, people.
34:40We're going to question the women now.
34:41I'll try and keep the men out of your way
34:42as much as possible.
34:43Thanks very much, Inspector.
34:45And thank you all.
34:46You can all get back to your duties now.
34:48Well, it's been a long last for you, Mrs. Barry.
34:50So you should have been over.
34:53Oops!
34:54I'm sorry, dear.
34:55That's it, Kayla.
34:56I just can't seem to...
34:57Oh!
34:58Oh, what's wrong?
34:59I just can't see her.
35:01I don't know that she was just lying there.
35:03Just don't talk about it.
35:04Sit down.
35:05This is ridiculous.
35:06She shouldn't be here.
35:07They should have kept her in the infirmary.
35:08Yeah, do you want me to fix it, love?
35:10Oh, it's OK.
35:10Thanks, Mum.
35:11I only think I should be here with people.
35:13Thanks, Mum.
35:14Don't let me...
35:14Uh, Bobby, help with the foaling
35:15to let love's drive.
35:16Oh, jeez, what am I?
35:17A bloody robot or something?
35:18First of all, you tell me to take over the dryer
35:20because Lou's got to see the cops.
35:21Now you want me to do the foaling?
35:22Give me a broom and I'll shove it out and out!
35:24Now, it's been a bad day for all of us,
35:26but if we help each other...
35:27I'm all for that, Mara,
35:28but it's been me helping everybody
35:29ever since this stupid bloody trial.
35:31Everyone's gone mad.
35:32Now, just a minute.
35:33That trial was meant to stop someone from killing her.
35:35I said no violence, remember?
35:38As usual, no one listened.
35:39Don't look at me.
35:41I didn't do it.
35:42Well, neither did I, Mitchell.
35:44So cut the cute looks, OK?
35:47All right.
35:48I don't mind the bitch's dick.
35:50But murder's not my style.
35:52Oh, no, you just hit people over the head
35:53and sent them to the back.
35:54Shut up! Just shut up!
35:55Now, we've got to stop this accusing of one another.
36:00Just got to hope that the cops find out who did it and sue.
36:03What if they don't?
36:05Then we're the ones to suffer.
36:06Loss of privileges, tighter security, you name it.
36:09Let's pray they catch whoever did it.
36:13Oh, I think they'll do that very soon, Desmond.
36:16They want to see you now.
36:17Truth, I can tell you, I've never been so glad to be on kitchen duty my whole life.
36:28Should have heard Jacko describe it.
36:30She rhythms all this blood all over me.
36:32Marlene, I've got two and a half hours to prepare 80 meals.
36:34Now, I can do that.
36:35If everybody else does their little bit, and if you're going to...
36:37All right, all right.
36:38I was only telling you.
36:39Well, don't then!
36:40Sorry, Pat, I didn't mean to yell.
36:43I've got lots of things to do, and I'm all behind.
36:46I'm not surprised.
36:47Why don't you change butchers if the meat's all that tough?
36:50It's not tough.
36:51I'm making beef olives, and this is the way beef olives are made.
36:54Ripper.
36:55Hang on, I thought you were going to do something fancy with that meat.
36:58I am!
36:59Beef olives are for isolation.
37:01Now, is that all right, Pat?
37:02Does Madam approve?
37:03Can I stop wasting time and get on with it?
37:05Go for your life.
37:07Someone really important must be up in isolation.
37:10Otherwise, why are you going to all this trouble?
37:13Don't suppose you care to drop a little hint to it?
37:15No!
37:17Get out of here.
37:18Give it a rest, Robbie.
37:21You're doing it on purpose, aren't you, Marlene?
37:23No, I won't have it.
37:24I won't have you here talking about death.
37:26Not here, not today.
37:27Not until Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Morris are...
37:30Go and empty the rubbish.
37:34Go and empty the rubbish!
37:35What were you going to say?
37:47Fisher, Taylor, Keane, Mason, Mitchell, Murray.
37:51You could spin the bottle here, Mrs. Barry.
37:53Every one of them would like to have seen Higgins dead.
37:56Come in.
37:58Desmond, Mrs. Barry.
37:59Oh, thanks, Miss Ferguson.
38:00Would you wait outside, please?
38:02Come in, Myra.
38:03Inspector Grace would like to ask you a few questions.
38:05Yes, I'm sure he would.
38:06Now, where's Mrs. Reynolds?
38:08Oh, well, she's not here today.
38:09I can see that.
38:10It's a nice suit, Mrs. B.
38:11What's the occasion?
38:12There's a trouble with being a copper.
38:13Everyone ignores you.
38:14What are you trying to do, Desmond?
38:15Hurt my feelings.
38:16I'm trying to find out what's going on in this bloody place.
38:18Well, there's a murder going on in this bloody place.
38:20Hasn't anyone told you?
38:21Oh, you know me, Grace.
38:22I never listen to gossip.
38:23Well, you sit down, girlie.
38:24You're the one I want to talk to.
38:25I want some facts.
38:26Yeah, in a minute.
38:27Now, Mrs. Barry, this place has been crawling with cops for two days now.
38:30And on the way here, I find out that Mrs. Morris isn't on duty.
38:33Well, it's her day off.
38:34Oh, come on.
38:35With the governor off, too?
38:37Now, my girls have been getting a hard time from these blokes.
38:40I think it's about time we found out what's going on.
38:42Are you getting anywhere?
38:47I can't feel it loosening.
38:49Just hold on a bit longer.
38:51I cut through some of it.
38:52Ow!
38:54I'm sorry.
38:55Are you all right?
38:55I think so.
38:58Keep going.
39:06Meg.
39:08I think it's worse than we thought.
39:11I know.
39:13Finish it.
39:15Hurry up.
39:30Oh, I wish I could remember everything I was taught.
39:32Does that feel all right?
39:33Yes.
39:34I'll listen to it every 15 minutes.
39:36Oh, damn, I keep forgetting the bloody thing's broken.
39:38I'm all right, Anne, honestly.
39:40I feel fine.
39:41We'll have to get you to a hospital quickly.
39:43You've lost too much blood.
39:45We can't.
39:46The bomb!
39:48Yes, I know.
39:49But we've got no choice now.
39:51We have to do something quickly or you'll bleed to death.
39:55All right, Josie, send him through.
39:59And, Josie, that other call should be coming through any minute.
40:03Now, take your time before you switch it through.
40:06All right?
40:07Thanks.
40:08Do you understand?
40:10Yes, don't worry.
40:11Everything will be all right.
40:12Good.
40:14You've been a big help, Mrs. Barry.
40:15Which is more than to be said for your boss.
40:17He's on his way from reception now.
40:19Oh, yeah.
40:199.59.
40:21Couldn't cut any finer, could he?
40:33Governor's office.
40:34Mrs. Barry speaking.
40:35Is Rouse there?
40:36Yes, he is.
40:38Hold the line.
40:38Rouse speaking.
40:46Too many pauses, Copper.
40:47I know what you're doing.
40:48Now, have you got the money?
40:50Did you get it?
40:52Yes, it's here.
40:53What do we do with it?
40:54Take it to Spencer Street Railway Station, Locker 115.
40:58You got that?
40:59Spencer Street, Locker 115.
41:03Now, what do we do with the key?
41:05Throw it away.
41:06And, listen, don't get any ideas about waiting for me, Rouse.
41:09If I even smell a cop, those women are dead.
41:12How do I know they're not dead already?
41:14You've been too long in the force, Rouse.
41:16You've got to learn to trust people.
41:19I used to.
41:20These days, I take out insurance.
41:23You're listening, Lowe?
41:26I've got something you want.
41:28Yeah, 250 grand.
41:30Hmm.
41:31And your mother.
41:34You'll leave her out of this copper.
41:37Now, listen, Lowe.
41:37If anything happens to those women, she'll be up for aiding and abetting, accessory to kidnap and murder.
41:43Think about it, Lowe.
41:44She'll die in prison.
41:46You bastard, Rouse.
41:47Come off it.
41:51Grace is picking us off one by one in the Gov's office.
41:53Now, Ronnie reckons Rouse is in the visitor's room.
41:55It's got to be another murder or something really big.
41:57Yeah, four squad cars at the main gate.
41:59They don't need those that cart away a bottle.
42:01All I know is, Renault and Morris are not about.
42:04Well, it's not fair.
42:06They should tell us.
42:06Oh, they don't trust us.
42:08Scared of what we might do.
42:10Well, the press must know about it.
42:12Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken our television or radio the way, would they?
42:15Would it have something to do with whoever's in isolation?
42:18No, I doubt it.
42:18All the cops are in administration.
42:20There was no one guarding the steps to isolation when I came past.
42:24I wish the bloody hell we could find out what's going on.
42:26Come on out, you little fudgers.
42:28Where the hell are you?
42:29What?
42:30Oh, forget it.
42:31Just talk to myself.
42:32See if the water is boiling, will you?
42:33Very sick.
42:34As a matter of fact, you can bring the pot over here and...
42:37Miss?
42:40What do you think you're doing?
42:42Oh, nothing.
42:43Look, I don't want to complain or nothing,
42:45but do you have to keep this kitchen so clean?
42:47What do you mean?
42:48What do you mean?
42:48Well, according to the dictionary,
42:49this place is meant to be crawling with them.
42:51Crawling with what?
42:52What are you talking about?
42:54Oh, crutches, geez, don't you listen.
42:56We're meant to be having erasers today.
42:59I don't have cockroaches in my kitchen,
43:01and I won't have people who don't work.
43:04Do you hear?
43:05Oh!
43:06Oh, Marlene, I'm sorry.
43:08Hang on, we'll get the sister to help you.
43:09I'm sorry, Marlene.
43:10We'll be leaving for Spencer Street in about 15 minutes.
43:13No way.
43:14I want them all there.
43:15Ticket collectors poured us the lot, okay?
43:18Right.
43:19Right, thanks, Reg.
43:20Look at those feet.
43:21Must be a copper.
43:23G'day, Jack.
43:25How are things going with the Higgins case?
43:26Ah, nothing yet.
43:27What about you?
43:28Look, er, I am sorry to hear about your son-in-law.
43:31Aye, thanks.
43:33Oh, we're a bit of a stalemate here.
43:35I'm using the old Stanford routine, you know.
43:37Who'd he got?
43:38His mother.
43:39I haven't got a hope of holding her on anything,
43:40but he doesn't know that.
43:42Think he'll go for it?
43:43Gee, he's got to.
43:44Oh, I've gone dizzy again.
43:47Oh, you're a real pioneer material, aren't you, Warren?
43:49What do you mean?
43:49I'll cut the act.
43:50You had a bit of warm water splashed on you.
43:52Warm?
43:52It was boiling.
43:53Well, maybe sister will give you a needle to ease the pain, eh?
43:56A nice, big, long needle.
43:58She wouldn't, would she?
43:59I might faint.
44:00Oh, come on.
44:01Get inside.
44:03Hey, what do you think you're doing?
44:04Get out of here.
44:04Get out, Warren.
44:06Honey, here's the spot.
44:08Just a workman.
44:08Do you want to rest for a minute?
44:16No, no, no, I'm all right.
44:19Just get me over the wire.
44:21Oh, Mike, not slowly.
44:23And steady yourself for me.
44:29Oh, Mike, don't hold on to me.
44:32Oh, Mike.
44:32Oh, Mike.
44:38I'm in on the door.
44:41Come on.
44:43I'll listen.
44:44No, no, I'll be fine.
44:46I've got to be silly, now.
44:47You pass out.
44:49Back to me.
44:50It's a matter of a bastard.
44:52He's got my mother.
44:53Martin's got my mother.
44:55I'll blast a copper, oh, kill him.
45:04No!
45:05He used to give me roses
45:30I wish he could again
45:35But that was on the outside
45:41And things were different then
45:46On the inside the sun still shines
45:51And the rain falls down
45:56But the sun and rain are prisoners
46:00When morning comes around
46:05Last night I dreamed we were together
46:10Sharing all the love ignored
46:16Till I had to face the nightmare
46:21Of waking up alone
46:26On the inside the roses grow
46:30They don't mind the stony ground
46:36But the roses here are prisoners too
46:41When morning comes around
46:46And when morning comes around
46:54Who once meant that was death
46:54Or it had to cloud
46:54who Mega Man
46:55Does, like, going deep rozp
46:59Either, or, it may be
47:03Jesus is death
47:04Because we are frozen
47:04We would certainly see that
47:05llega whether it's true
47:06We would just wait for you
