00:00What's going on, Smith?
00:08Well, we refuse to move until we get a fair and unbiased inquiry
00:11into Sharon Gilmore's death.
00:14You serious?
00:16I've never been more serious in all my life, Mr. Fletcher.
00:30How many of them are there?
00:50Nine, Smith's mob.
00:52I thought you said Bryant was the one demanding to see me.
00:54Well, she is, but Smith's backing her up.
00:56All security gates are locked and the rest of the women are in their cells.
00:58Good.
00:59I thought I gave instructions that all mention of the inquest
01:02was to be taken out of the papers.
01:04Yeah, well, it was, but, well, my guess is they found out from Anderson.
01:07She'd been let out for the day.
01:08Why do they always think that the system is working against them?
01:13We want the governor.
01:15We want the governor.
01:17We want the governor.
01:18We want the governor.
01:20We want the governor.
01:22We want the governor.
01:23The only thing you'll get from this is solitary.
01:25No one's going to listen to a pack of yelling animals.
01:27We want the governor.
01:27In case you haven't noticed, this is a peaceful demonstration and we've got a legitimate complaint.
01:32That's right.
01:33We're going to stay out on strike until we are heard.
01:35You're a fool, Bryant.
01:37We want the governor.
01:37Why don't you ask Smith how these things end up?
01:39She's had a lot of practice in getting people hurt or killed in order to get her own way.
01:43We want the governor.
01:44We thought we'd have to leave out of your book, Vera.
01:46You screws got what you wanted when you went on strike.
01:49Yeah, and we were the ones who still commented being locked up all that time.
01:53We want the governor.
01:53We could have all died of starvation before you came.
01:57We want the governor.
01:58You'll never learn, will you?
01:59We want the governor.
02:00There's a big difference between the behaviour of normal people and rather like you.
02:03And the difference is we haven't got any rights and that's what this is all about.
02:06You're criminals.
02:07You don't deserve any rights.
02:08We want the governor.
02:10We want the governor.
02:11We want the governor.
02:12Thank you, Miss Bennett.
02:13We want the governor.
02:14Shut up.
02:15I was under the impression you knew I am always prepared to listen to any complaints or worries you may have.
02:23But in my office, at the right time and in a civilised manner.
02:28Well, we want much more than just a good ear.
02:31We want something done about this.
02:34Yeah, and we want action.
02:36We want action.
02:37We want action.
02:39I won't be dictated to, Brian.
02:40We want action.
02:41If you have something to say, say it.
02:43We want action.
02:44We want action.
02:45Okay, build up.
02:47All right.
02:48Now, you say to me that Sharon was killed accidentally, right?
02:56That is correct.
02:58Uh-uh.
02:59Sharon was murdered.
03:01And a screw in here murdered her.
03:04Now, I want you to get your chief to organise another inquest.
03:07Only this time, we want Jock Stewart convicted.
03:10Don't be ridiculous.
03:12I was at the hearing and there was nothing to indicate she was murdered.
03:15That's just because she was a crimp.
03:17They wouldn't care how she snubbed it, just as long as there's one less to worry about.
03:21Well, you built her.
03:21Listen, why the hell didn't they get me on the stand?
03:24I mean, he told me he murdered her, goddammit.
03:26Yeah, and if he bashed into me, he could have killed Sharon real easy.
03:30Right.
03:31We think Judy's got a good point.
03:33Now, she might only be interested in seeing that Sharon's murderer gets what he deserves.
03:37But we see it this way.
03:38We let one screw get away with bashing and killing and we leave ourselves wide open for the next punchy screw that comes along.
03:44That's right.
03:45We could all be raped in our sleep.
03:48Mr Stewart will not be working in prisons again.
03:51Oh, big deal.
03:52He still gets away with it, doesn't he?
03:55Listen, we're not moving from here until something is done about it.
03:58Yeah, we want action.
04:00We want action.
04:02We want action.
04:03We can try and get them back in their cells.
04:30Well, somebody might get hurt.
04:31I think an uncomfortable night would be more good.
04:33Besides, I'd rather they get it out of their system, away from the other women.
04:36Would you check the other cells, please?
04:38Yes, certainly.
04:39It's easy for a cause like this to spread right to the prison.
04:41Then we'd really have our hands full.
04:43Put Smith and Browns in solitary.
04:44Then the others will come to their senses.
04:46Martyrs only make matters worse and they think we've had something to hide.
04:49No, we'll see if they're calmer in the morning.
04:51Uh, would you see that there's somebody, an officer, on duty all night, please, Miss Bennet?
04:56Yes, Mrs Stewart.
04:56And if possible, try to ignore them.
04:59It's pointless having more fuel to the fire.
05:01Sharon was murdered!
05:03Sharon was murdered!
05:05Sharon was murdered!
05:07Sharon was murdered!
05:08Sharon was murdered!
05:10Sharon was murdered!
05:12Sharon was murdered!
05:14Sharon was murdered!
05:15Sharon was murdered!
05:17Sharon was murdered!
05:18Sharon was murdered!
05:19What do you think, Bea?
05:20Well, I don't think Davis is going to lose any sleep over it.
05:23Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
05:24How the hell may they listen to us?
05:26Sharon was murdered!
05:27They never pay any attention to us until we set up and make them.
05:30Sharon was murdered!
05:31That's what I've known as I've been here a few days.
05:33Oh, we must have just interrupted her night in the tiles.
05:37She'd be the way she was dolled up.
05:40Stabo's all right. She'll come good, won't you, Bea?
05:42She's still part of the system, and she thinks the system is always right.
05:49Oh, what's going on?
05:50Blame in hell.
05:51Lights out.
05:53Mrs. Barry, we can't see what we're doing.
05:55Well, you should have thought of that before you started anything.
05:58The telly's not working, either.
06:00They must have pulled the plug on us.
06:02Yeah.
06:03You know, she's not wrong.
06:04What?
06:05I reckon we played our hand too fast.
06:07Yeah? Well, why did you go along with me? You got a better idea?
06:10No, I haven't.
06:12But I've got all night to think of one.
06:25This isn't the other one.
06:44Oh!
06:46Have you been awake all night, babe?
06:58No, I caught 40 weeks.
07:00Did you come up with anything?
07:02Depends on duty.
07:06I want to go to the loo.
07:07Hang on for a bit longer.
07:09Don't reckon I can.
07:11Think about something else.
07:13What about Kevin?
07:15Oh, yeah.
07:17Gee, we had a real good time yesterday, Bea.
07:20We ate out, and then I had all these things
07:22that I was supposed to do, you know?
07:24But we spent the time, oh, well, at the flat, you know?
07:29Yeah, I know.
07:30Oh, that reminds me, I've got to tell Lizzie something.
07:32Hmm?
07:34Oh, Kevin.
07:35Kevin reckons that Marcy is ripping her off,
07:37that she's not really her daughter.
07:40I couldn't really follow it.
07:41Anyhow, something Josie let slip.
07:44But Kevin told Mr. Reid, and he's doing some checking,
07:46but I thought I'd better warn Lizzie just in case.
07:48No, hold your horses for a second.
07:49Are you sure Kevin's got his story straight?
07:52Is he positive that his characters have gone honest?
07:55Well, no, not really.
07:57Well, then leave it.
07:59Hey?
07:59Look, this is the best thing that's ever happened to Lizzie.
08:02She said they've got herself a daughter and a granddaughter.
08:06So this person's a fraud.
08:08So what?
08:09Yeah, but what if they're after Lizzie's compo money?
08:12Well, we'll worry about that even when it happens.
08:14Just dry up for the minute.
08:16Okay.
08:17It feels like I've been kicked downstairs.
08:29Oh, I only meant...
08:32Oh, jeez, Lizzie, you got a fag?
08:35They'll stunt your growth.
08:37Oh, I slept like a log.
08:39Officer Barry, I have to go to the toilet.
08:43It's a down-law, no?
08:45It's all right for you, but I've got a week for her.
08:48Come on.
08:49Just a minute.
08:51Come in.
08:53We can wait, you know.
08:55You'll have to come out eventually,
08:56and we'll pick you up one by one.
08:58Lock her in a cell.
08:59Come on.
09:00You pig!
09:01Rat and muggerel!
09:03Sleep well with you, ladies.
09:04Oh, shut up!
09:05Listen, did you think any more about what I said last night?
09:07Of course.
09:08We've got to stick together on this,
09:09otherwise we're going to get nowhere.
09:10Yeah.
09:11I'm with you.
09:13Fletch!
09:14Any chance of Judy and me seeing the governor?
09:16It depends whether you're going to be sensible about all this.
09:18I think we've got it sorted out.
09:20Oh, we can't chuck it in now.
09:22Not after what we went through last night.
09:25What you'll go through today will be a whole lot worse
09:27if you don't keep your trap shut.
09:30We've had enough, okay?
09:31Yeah.
09:32Yeah.
09:32Yeah.
09:33All right.
09:34Okay, come on.
09:37Would it be too much to suggest
09:44that the security gates remain locked?
09:46Good idea.
09:46Could I leave that with you?
09:47Yes.
09:48Come in.
09:51I trust we can discuss this calmly.
09:53We want to know how to go about getting a new inquest.
09:56Unless you have fresh evidence, it cannot be done.
09:58You gave Stuart the boot.
10:00You must think he's guilty too, Mrs Davidson.
10:02Mr Stewart was suspended because of accusations against him.
10:05The department investigated,
10:07and as I told you, he will not be working in prisons anymore.
10:10Well, that means they think he's guilty too.
10:12He was investigated over the matter of striking Doreen,
10:17and it was decided there was enough doubt
10:19to relieve him of his position, nothing more.
10:21But what about Sharon?
10:23I mean, he told me he killed her.
10:26I know how you felt about her, Bryant.
10:29Huh?
10:29And as I told you, your accusations were investigated,
10:33but the police were unable to find sufficient proof to back it up.
10:39The inquest ruled it as accidental death.
10:42Now, you will just have to accept that.
10:45Yeah, fair enough.
10:48Bryant?
10:48Yeah, sure.
10:51I trust we will hear no further on the matter,
10:54either from you or any of the other women.
10:57I'll tell them.
10:58Thank you, Mr Fletcher.
11:03If you ask me, Smith gave in just a little bit too easily.
11:07Yes, I tend to agree with you.
11:10We could have stuck it out longer.
11:11Well, I couldn't have.
11:13I thought you lot were meant to be tough.
11:15Oh, come on, don't stand around all day.
11:18Well, where is everyone?
11:25Well, we've got to keep the whole prison waiting just for you, Smith.
11:28Now, why didn't I think of that?
11:29I would have said it was because you didn't want us to spread the good oil to the rest of them.
11:38What's Mrs Davidson going to do, B?
11:40Nothing.
11:41She's just like the rest of them.
11:43Come on, Birdsmith.
11:44Keep it moving.
11:45Not there, over here.
11:46Come on.
11:49Anyone would reckon we hadn't got any rights.
11:53And I don't want you two sitting together either.
11:58Come on.
11:58Or what?
11:59You're going to wait for us on the stairs like your mate?
12:01Oh, go on.
12:02Let him have his fun.
12:03And it makes him feel like a big man.
12:12Listen, I don't know whether Davison's brought it or not.
12:16We've got to make out that we've forgotten about our pound of fresh, right?
12:18Look, if she's not going to do anything about it, then it's up to us.
12:22We've got to let the outside world know what it's really like in this place.
12:25And the only way we can do that is through the newspapers.
12:27Yeah, but we can't just ring up the papers and say we've got a story.
12:30Well, this afternoon, when we go out for exercise, we're going to demonstrate.
12:35Demonstrate what, babe?
12:38Injustice, Lizzie.
12:40Get as many women together as we can.
12:43We're going to have to outnumber the screws.
12:45You mean we're going to riot?
12:46Well, you just eat your breakfast, for God's sake.
12:51Well, they'll just call the cops or the fire brigade.
12:54The papers mightn't even get here.
12:56I know that's a risk, but we're going to have to hold out until they do.
13:01What if we get word to them and tell them what's going to happen in advance?
13:04How?
13:07Nolene's coming in this morning.
13:09She said she'd be great.
13:12Is that your mum?
13:13She can get a message out for us.
13:16Nolene wouldn't help us if her life depended on...
13:18She'd do it for me.
13:20She hates the screws as much as you know I do.
13:22Okay, so she did go to the papers.
13:24How do we know that they'd believe her?
13:26What, with her record, they'd probably think she was some kind of nut.
13:29Nolene's holding in.
13:30Good job, Nolene.
13:31She's trying real hard to be respectable.
13:33So there.
13:35It's worth a try.
13:36Good job, Nolene.
13:50Okay.
13:52Okay.
14:22Hey, what's going on?
14:32We can't be expected to watch you 24 hours a day.
14:34So whenever there isn't an officer on duty, this remains locked.
14:38Animals like you deserve to be in a cage.
14:40Bitch!
14:43Do all right, Lizzie, hand me some of those sheets.
14:45But they're on to us, Bea.
14:47Ah, now this is Vera flexing her muscles.
14:49They won't take any notice of us taking our daily constitutional.
14:53They're keeping an eye on us on the inside, not the outside.
15:16What are you doing?
15:17It might come in handy.
15:22Honey, this is a peaceful demonstration.
15:25Just for protection.
15:27Yeah, I know, but all we're going to do is barricade the front doors so that the screws don't follow Bea's lot out.
15:32There's going to be a couple of screws left in the garden.
15:36Just in case they start turning rough, that's all.
15:38You'll never get away with that.
15:40I mean, they check everything before we finish work.
15:42Yeah, I know.
15:44And it's three forks they're going to count.
15:51I learned that one in Wynlight.
15:53By the time they're cotton on, it'll be too high.
15:56Can't do the blame in the garden.
16:15It's a waste of me bloody time having to go through all this rubbish.
16:17You should know the rules better than anyone, Burke.
16:21Well, well.
16:22The face that sunk a thousand ships.
16:26Hand over your bag.
16:27I've counted it all.
16:32Well, I know we could go on chatting like this all day, Vera.
16:37But I think I'd better see my daughter first.
16:39She was in some trouble last night, Burke.
16:41I doubt if she's allowed to have visitors.
16:43But I rung up.
16:45I got time off from work and everything.
16:47You wouldn't know what work was.
16:49Oh, yeah, that shows all you know.
16:51I got a real good job.
16:53You are.
16:54Sorry I couldn't bring in your dirty pictures.
16:56It's all right.
16:57I've got a very good memory.
17:01Mrs Davidson, Noeline Burke's here to see Leigh-Anne.
17:04I suggest that in the light of last night's performance,
17:08the visit should be cancelled.
17:12If you say so.
17:14Sign the visitor's book.
17:16Still haven't found out a way to run the prison yet, eh, Vera?
17:19I'd want her searched.
17:21Thoroughly.
17:22And I don't care how long it takes.
17:34You took your time getting here, didn't you?
17:45Yeah, had to entertain the troops.
17:47You've got five minutes, Burke.
17:48Is that all?
17:49Some people waste so much time being smart.
17:53How you been going?
17:55All right, thanks.
17:56Been keeping your nose clean?
17:58Yeah, of course.
17:59You should go lying to me, you little bugger.
18:02One guess you'd dog me.
18:04Yeah, you listen to me.
18:09This place isn't like that nursery you've been used to.
18:12You've got two months to go,
18:13and when you get out,
18:14I want you to come and be me assistant at work.
18:17Pays real well.
18:18Yeah?
18:19Yeah.
18:22Anyone been giving you any trouble?
18:25No.
18:26Even made a few friends.
18:29Good, he's still here.
18:31Reckon it must be getting to him by now.
18:34Yeah, he looks as if he could do with a bit.
18:36Aren't you looking after him, Vera?
18:38That's enough, Burke.
18:39You're just as disgusting as ever, Burke.
18:42I'm going to cut this visit back to two minutes.
18:43I reckon that he'd get rid of it.
18:48I was wondering how I could get you on your own.
18:51Kidneys.
18:53You've got to help us, Noel.
18:55Friend of hers was murdered in here by a screw.
18:57What?
18:58He's gone now,
19:00but no one will believe he done it.
19:02So we need someone to tell the papers
19:03that we're going to take over the garden,
19:05Sarvo,
19:05when we're out exercising.
19:07Hold a rigid digit demo,
19:09like you see on the news and stuff.
19:11We're getting as many together as we can.
19:12Who's we?
19:14Judy and me
19:15and Bea and...
19:16I'm not lifting a finger to help bloody Smith.
19:19I suppose she put you up to this.
19:21No, it's my idea.
19:23Oh, how many times do I have to tell you
19:25not to think for yourself?
19:27You're always getting the stride.
19:29How long?
19:29Don't you bloody swear at your mother
19:31or you wind up with a thick ear.
19:33She'd stay out of trouble, you hear?
19:37I didn't hear you.
19:42Boy, he's always trying to be top dog.
19:46Just forget it then.
19:56She what?
19:59You said that you were worried
20:00about it breaking up
20:01before the papers got in.
20:02Well, what do you think this lot's for?
20:04You make enough smoke.
20:05The press are always
20:06on the tail of the fire.
20:07Well, Leanne thought she'd talk her into it
20:08to be on the safe side.
20:09Oh, the safe side.
20:10No, Leanne Burke's not going to go helping us.
20:12More likely she's going to go
20:13lagging to the screws.
20:14Why didn't you tell me this before?
20:16She's not much choppy,
20:18but she might come good.
20:19You and I might be the queen of Sheba.
20:21Oh, for goodness sake,
20:21let's get rid of all this stuff.
20:24If they are on to us
20:25and they can't get the evidence
20:26to back it up,
20:26we might just bluff it through.
20:28Well, what about all that stuff
20:29in our cells?
20:30Well, we could say
20:31it was there from the last time
20:33we were going to go on strike.
20:34You reckon they believe us?
20:35Well, it's the truth, isn't it?
20:36Yeah, shut up, you two.
20:37I'm trying to think.
20:38We need someone
20:39who can get into our block.
20:43Lizzie, I think it's about time
20:44we had another one of your turns.
20:46Oh, I was beginning to think
20:48I was out of practice.
20:49You're too careful.
20:53Is anyone there?
20:54Help! Help!
20:55Lizzie, come on, come on!
20:57She's going to take out this time,
20:58Miss Mary.
20:59Come on, please.
21:00Oh, I'll be all right
21:01if I could have a bit of a lie down.
21:03Come on, Lizzie.
21:04You'll be all right,
21:06but we'll make sure
21:07the nurse sees you
21:09when she comes on duty.
21:10She's been working too hard.
21:13Oh, it's hard to accept
21:14that you're not still
21:16a spring chick.
21:17I know, Lizzie.
21:18We all feel that way.
21:19Well, if Nolene Burke
21:23has dobbed us in,
21:24we'll soon know about it.
21:26I don't know
21:27what you're looking for, Vera.
21:29Leanne never slipped me nothing.
21:30Or do you get a kick out
21:32of perving into
21:32other people's things?
21:34You must be very proud
21:35of her, Burke.
21:36She takes after you,
21:37a real little troublemaker.
21:39You'll be lucky
21:40if she gets out in two months
21:41the way she's going.
21:42She'll stay clean.
21:43Not if she hangs
21:43around Smith's group.
21:45You should know that.
21:46Now sign out.
21:54It isn't her
21:55you should be looking out for.
21:56No?
21:57I don't want me daughter
21:58getting in any trouble.
21:59That happened the day
22:00she was born.
22:01If you wasn't so busy
22:02making flame and wisecracks,
22:04you might have noticed
22:04Smith's organising
22:05a surprise party.
22:07What are you talking about?
22:08Not so funny now, are you?
22:11Why should I believe
22:12anything you say?
22:12Because I want to look
22:13after Leanne, that's why.
22:16Oh, something, Fletch.
22:31Must be his washing.
22:32Oh, so sorry.
22:33Oh, laundry,
22:34not letting yet.
22:36Oh, we are so popular today.
22:38Be quiet, Smith.
22:40There could have been.
22:41No, it's not worth
22:42taking any chances.
22:43For the next few days
22:47you will be confined
22:47inside the building.
22:49There will be no exercise periods
22:50until I decide otherwise.
22:52Oh, come off it.
22:52Mrs. Davidson will go
22:53stark staring mad
22:54cooped up in here.
22:55You might just as well
22:56put us in solitary.
22:57That could be easily arranged, Smith.
22:59What are you trying to do?
23:00Push us over the edge.
23:01The major security gates
23:03will be kept locked.
23:04However, the intermediary ones
23:05will be opened
23:05and you will also be allowed
23:07to have your meals
23:08with the other inmates.
23:08Oh, gee whiz, thanks.
23:11I shall review the situation
23:12in a few days' time.
23:16All right, you heard the bell.
23:17Come on, get moving.
23:22Well, that's blown it.
23:24We're not finished yet.
23:26Well, how are we going
23:26to get outside?
23:28The governor
23:29is going to give us a hand.
23:30What's up with them?
23:56It looks as though
23:59we dropped out
23:59of the popularity polls.
24:03Well, if it isn't,
24:04Queen, fix it.
24:06Yeah, thanks, you lot.
24:07You just cut off
24:08our fresh air supply.
24:09Haven't any good strikes lately?
24:11What?
24:12What's going on?
24:13Well, why don't you ask
24:15little Miss Blabbermouth here?
24:18She let her mother in on it.
24:19Guess who went to the screws
24:21and lagged?
24:21She never.
24:23No, it's not a lagger, honest.
24:24Then would you care
24:25to explain why we are
24:26not allowed to go out
24:27into the garden
24:27and why the screws
24:28are turning this place
24:29upside down
24:30trying to find
24:31something to pin on us?
24:32Did they find anything?
24:34I'm not really hungry,
24:36Mrs. J.
24:36Well, the sister said
24:37you were perfectly all right, Lizzie.
24:39I feel rotten.
24:40I couldn't keep a thing down.
24:42Oh, well, suit yourself.
24:44It doesn't look like it,
24:46but they're still suspicious.
24:48Not like Lizzie
24:49to go after food.
24:50Keep it moving, Burke.
24:51You too, Bryant.
24:54Do you think Norleen
24:56was just out to stir?
24:58Well, I wouldn't put it
24:58faster, but you can never tell.
25:01You know, what was that
25:01you were saying, Phil?
25:03Oh, nothing, Bea.
25:04Be in the laundry
25:05in an hour.
25:06Give me as many of your mates
25:07with you as you can.
25:08What for?
25:09You were going to get
25:10some fresh air.
25:14You still want to have
25:15a crack at David?
25:16Oh, sure.
25:18And how are we going to get there?
25:19She's going to listen
25:19to us this time?
25:20If you had an hour alone
25:21with us, she might listen to you.
25:22I bet you could even
25:23get her to ring the press.
25:25Margot will help you,
25:26won't you, Margot?
25:28You want us to take over
25:29the Governor's office?
25:30We're going to need
25:31someone to keep Nip, though.
25:33What about me?
25:34No.
25:35I don't want a Burke
25:36having anything to do with this.
25:37Can't blame me
25:38for what Norbert.
25:40Bugger, I can do
25:40what I like.
25:41You're out.
25:42Listen, let her alone.
25:43She's only trying to help.
25:43No!
25:45What about you, Lizzie?
25:47Do you reckon
25:47you can handle it?
25:49Oh, yeah.
25:50That'll be all right.
25:51How do we get there?
25:55I've got a little rule here.
25:57Make the punishment
25:58fit the crime.
26:00You and Margot
26:00do as I say.
26:01You'll get close enough
26:02to the Governor.
26:03What will you be doing?
26:05I will be getting
26:06demonstration number
26:07two underway.
26:08I'm still not feeling
26:21myself, Mrs. Jackson.
26:23One more day
26:24in that sweat box
26:25and I don't think
26:26I'd last.
26:27Couldn't you find me
26:28a job in the kitchen
26:28or making the afternoon
26:30teas or something?
26:31Well, if you're that ill,
26:32Lizzie, I think you'd better
26:33go and lie down.
26:34Oh, well, I'm not that crook.
26:37I expect I'm a bit down
26:38because I won't be
26:39seeing me family
26:39for two days.
26:41Better keep busy.
26:43All right, then.
26:44You go and see Cook.
26:45Oh, you've got
26:46a heart of gold,
26:47Mrs. Jackson.
26:51Well, that's just great,
26:52isn't it?
26:52Not that Lizzie's
26:53any great loss,
26:54but we were
26:54shorthanded as it was.
26:56Funny how some people
26:57get it easy.
26:58I'll have to get her
26:58to give me lessons.
26:59Put on 40 years
27:00and you've got it made.
27:01You two seem to have
27:02a lot of time
27:03on your hands.
27:04You can start
27:05by helping in the laundry.
27:09Just a minute.
27:10What are you doing
27:11with that?
27:12I thought we were
27:12the only two allowed
27:13out in the garden,
27:14but I don't care.
27:15Get it out of here.
27:17What are you waiting
27:18for, Smith?
27:19Nick's been out of here.
27:22Nick's been out of here.
27:29Go on, move it along.
27:31Hey, watch what you're
27:32doing.
27:32Keep it moving, Gapney.
27:33Well, then keep out
27:34of my way, stupid.
27:35I'm sick of you.
27:35It's your fault.
27:36We're stuck in here.
27:37No way.
27:38Come on.
27:40Come on, Gapney.
27:43After you've cleaned
27:43up that mess,
27:44you can take it outside.
27:45You two can spend
27:46the afternoon
27:47cleaning the floors.
27:48And if they're not
27:49spotless, you can keep
27:50on doing them
27:50until they are.
27:52Listen, it's me
27:53who should be punishing
27:54you, Miss Ben.
27:54I mean, she had
27:55nothing to do with it.
27:56She's a Burke
27:57and they're always
27:58in trouble.
27:59Move it, Gapney.
28:00Come on, Burke.
28:01Look, the blankets
28:17are for us
28:17and put some
28:19of the signs
28:19with them as well.
28:20Hey, I like this one.
28:22Yeah, this is ours too.
28:23She's coming.
28:24Bloody Vera,
28:27she's given the job
28:28to Leanne.
28:29Well, Margot's with us.
28:30She'll know what to do,
28:31won't she?
28:31The only thing
28:32keeping Margot
28:32as he is apart
28:33is that stupid
28:33great skull of hers.
28:35No, Judy's going to
28:36have to figure her way
28:37out of getting to Davidson.
28:38I hope she gets there.
28:41Where does that leave us?
28:42We go ahead as planned.
28:43Well, we still need
28:44the keys.
28:45That's why Judy's
28:46got to get there
28:46to make sure those
28:47two morons
28:47don't louse things up.
28:48It's her ballgame.
28:50Maybe we ought to
28:50forget the whole thing.
28:52We listen to
28:52Meek Mouse over here.
28:53Have you any idea
28:54why we're making
28:55a stand on this?
28:56No.
28:57Because I think
28:58like Judy does.
28:59A screw actually
29:00got away with
29:01murdering one of us.
29:02Now, I don't care
29:03if she's a no-hoper
29:04or not.
29:05No one.
29:06Not Davidson
29:07or the screws
29:08or the courts
29:09are going to shove
29:09this under a rug.
29:11And just in case
29:12you've all been
29:12listening to Vera too much,
29:13we're not animals,
29:14we're human beings.
29:16You spend enough time
29:17in this rat trap
29:17though and you start
29:18forgetting it.
29:18They try to treat us
29:20like zombies.
29:21So for the rest
29:21of your life
29:22you think,
29:22if you can think
29:23at all,
29:23that you are
29:24just a piece of dirt
29:25and you keep on
29:26getting swept
29:27right under that rug.
29:32You can put that down,
29:33Bryant.
29:34Now that you're out here
29:34you might as well
29:35do a bit of work.
29:46Miss Bennett,
29:46I've got to see
29:47the governor now.
29:47Don't you dare speak
29:48to me like that,
29:49Bryant.
29:50Yeah,
29:50I'm sorry about that.
29:52It's just that
29:53it's really important.
29:54I'll decide that.
29:55It's about the demonstration.
29:57You know what that
29:58Burke woman said?
29:59She wasn't making it up.
30:00How do you know
30:01Burke told us anything?
30:02Well,
30:02that wasn't too
30:03difficult to work out.
30:04Why else are the women
30:04all inside?
30:06Anyway,
30:06that won't work.
30:07They're still going ahead
30:08with the demonstration.
30:09And I know
30:10how they're going to do it.
30:11I thought Leanne
30:16was supposed to be
30:17working in the garden.
30:17What went wrong?
30:18It's a punishment.
30:19She's been in some trouble
30:20in the dining room.
30:21After the talking to,
30:22I...
30:22Why do I keep on
30:23asking for miracles?
30:25Well,
30:25with her sort of background,
30:26it'd need a miracle
30:27to change her.
30:28Oh,
30:28well,
30:28the youngest ones
30:29are always the hardest
30:29to crack
30:30and they're so
30:30unpredictable.
30:32I'm not so sure
30:33after dealing with
30:34Smith for so many years.
30:35Yeah,
30:36anyway,
30:36I came to talk to you
30:37about Lizzie Birdsworth's
30:38family.
30:38Do you know much
30:39about her children?
30:40Well,
30:41only what she's told me.
30:42Why,
30:42is something wrong?
30:43No,
30:43maybe nothing.
30:45But the granddaughter,
30:46Josie,
30:46said to Kevin Burns
30:47that Marcia
30:49and her brothers
30:49were brought up
30:50in the orphanage.
30:51Now,
30:51according to the
30:52home's records
30:53and according to
30:53what Lizzie's
30:54already told us,
30:55both sons were
30:56fostered out
30:57very early in the piece.
30:58Well,
30:59Josie's very young.
31:00She could have
31:00mixed things up.
31:01Yeah,
31:01I know,
31:01but it still
31:01bothers me.
31:03Lizzie's never
31:03given any indication
31:04that she knows
31:05what became
31:05of her two sons,
31:06but according to
31:07Josie,
31:07her uncle works
31:08as a butcher
31:09in sale.
31:10Now,
31:10the name's different,
31:11but then he could
31:12have changed that
31:13by deed poll
31:14for some reason
31:14or other.
31:16Well,
31:16perhaps he doesn't
31:17want Lizzie
31:17to know anything
31:18about him.
31:18Yeah,
31:19I thought of that.
31:20Anyway,
31:21I thought it might
31:21be worthwhile
31:22checking through
31:22this jigsaw.
31:25Come in.
31:28Thought you might
31:29like a cup of tea,
31:30Mrs Davidson.
31:30Oh,
31:30thank you,
31:31Lizzie.
31:31Mr Reid?
31:32Uh,
31:33no,
31:33no thanks.
31:34I've got a lot
31:34of work to catch up on.
31:39Are you all right,
31:41Lizzie?
31:42Oh,
31:43I suppose it's
31:44because I didn't
31:44sleep the best
31:45last night.
31:47Yes.
31:49Don't you think
31:50you're getting
31:50a little too old
31:51for this sort
31:52of nonsense?
31:53I'm not over the
31:54hill yet,
31:54you know.
31:55I mean,
31:56I had to go along
31:57with the Mrs Davidson.
31:58I was all for
31:59forgetting the whole
32:00thing.
32:01I reckon
32:01if you can't trust
32:03what judges say,
32:04well,
32:04who can you trust?
32:06Lizzie,
32:07has your daughter
32:08ever mentioned
32:09her brothers?
32:10Don't suppose
32:11she'd ever seen
32:12much of them.
32:13They were fostered
32:14out real early.
32:16Marcia spent
32:16most of her time
32:17in the home.
32:18She didn't keep
32:19in touch with them.
32:20I don't know.
32:22Not that she said
32:23anything.
32:24I can just thank
32:25me lucky stars
32:26that I got
32:27Marcia and
32:28Josie back.
32:30See you later,
32:31Mrs Davidson.
32:46Hey,
32:46you're trying
32:47to make it
32:47harder for us.
32:49That clumsy galah.
32:51It's going to break
32:52loose in a few seconds.
32:53Where is she?
32:54I can't hang around
32:55here any longer.
32:56You'll have to do it
32:56by yourself.
32:57Leave that,
32:57Lizzie.
32:58Gaffney can clean it up.
33:02They're going to
33:03try and break out
33:03of here.
33:04Where?
33:04I'm only talking
33:05to the governor.
33:05There's travel in
33:06each block.
33:06We've locked the gates,
33:07but it could spread.
33:08I'll tell Mrs Davidson.
33:09You come with me,
33:09Brian.
33:09The only phone calls
33:19you're making,
33:20sweetheart,
33:20are the ones
33:20we tell you to.
33:21Oh, we did it.
33:22We did it.
33:22Shut up.
33:23We haven't done
33:23nothing yet.
33:24You don't think
33:24this is going to achieve
33:25anything, do you?
33:26I'm sick of you
33:26when you talk.
33:27Now, you listen to us.
33:30Lizzie.
33:32Sorry, Mrs Davidson.
33:33You see?
33:34You're on your own,
33:35aren't you?
33:36Now, you better do
33:37what we tell you to
33:38or otherwise
33:38we're likely to get nasty.
33:48What the hell
33:48are you talking about,
33:49a bloody crank call?
33:51This is for real, buster.
33:53Now, you wanted a good story.
33:55I've given you one.
33:56Oh, all right, look.
33:58I'll let you talk
33:59to the governor herself.
34:01Tell him.
34:02I said, tell him.
34:10This is Erica Davidson.
34:12I'm governor of
34:13Wentworth Detention Center.
34:15Myself and another officer
34:16are being held
34:17by three prisoners
34:18in my office.
34:19Does that satisfy you,
34:20sweetheart?
34:21Now, you get your asses
34:22over...
34:23What?
34:25You what?
34:27Listen to me,
34:28wise guy.
34:29You just ring up
34:30Wentworth
34:30and you asked
34:31to speak to the governor
34:31yourself.
34:33Bloody idiot
34:34doesn't believe me.
34:36That's the trouble,
34:37isn't it?
34:37Nobody believes
34:38the truth anymore.
34:39The world is full
34:40of people like you
34:41who only believe
34:41what they want to.
34:42Yeah, you tell her, Jude.
34:44You don't really think
34:44this will do any good.
34:45Oh, it better, sweetheart.
34:47It better.
34:49Here, have a swig of this.
34:50It'll take your head
34:51all alone.
34:52Why?
34:53We're in this together,
34:54aren't we?
34:56I told you this
34:57would come in handy.
34:58Good.
34:59Now, I want you
35:00to go and find Bea.
35:01I want you to tell her
35:02I've been held up,
35:03but I'll get there
35:03as soon as I can.
35:04And if I don't make it,
35:05she's to go ahead
35:06without me.
35:13Well, at least
35:14they can't get through
35:14in the garden.
35:15Look, we could get
35:16through behind them.
35:17There aren't many.
35:17We could control them.
35:18It's better not
35:19to use violence
35:19unless we have to.
35:20What's keeping
35:21Mrs. Davidson?
35:22Well, how would I know?
35:23None of this would have
35:23happened if we had
35:24put the ringleaders
35:24in solitary
35:25in the first place.
35:26Let us out!
35:28Let us out!
35:30Let us out!
35:31Let us out!
35:33Let us out!
35:34Let us out!
35:36Let us out!
35:39Let us out!
35:39Listen, listen,
35:40good with it.
35:43Where did she
35:43made it be?
35:44All I know is
35:45those keys
35:45should have been
35:46here by now.
35:47Vera's coming!
35:48All right,
35:49let me hear it.
35:50Hurry up,
35:51close up,
35:51close out of there.
35:53Getting everyone
35:54else to do
35:54your dirty work
35:55again, hey?
35:55I don't know
35:56what you're talking
35:56about, Vera.
35:57They'll soon run
35:58out of steam.
35:59But just before
35:59you get any more,
36:00I'd grab...
36:01Help me!
36:02Help me!
36:03Help me!
36:04Help me!
36:04Help me!
36:05Oh, Vera.
36:11I've been waiting
36:12years for this.
36:14Don't be stupid,
36:15Smith.
36:17You've got a lot
36:18to answer for.
36:19You know that?
36:21Well, maybe you
36:22don't know it.
36:24Maybe I'm going
36:25to teach you
36:26a few lessons.
36:28Lesson number one
36:29goes like this.
36:31We are human
36:33beings, Vera.
36:35Now you say it.
36:36Come on.
36:37Come on, say it.
36:38Human beings.
36:39I know.
36:41I know.
36:43You've got to mean it.
36:45I'll say it again.
36:48You're human beings.
36:49No, it's a little
36:50like it.
36:51Sharon was murdered.
36:54Come on, say it.
36:56Sharon was murdered.
36:57Right.
36:59Now I wonder
37:00what would happen
37:00if you fell down
37:02the stairs.
37:03Did you?
37:04Think the cops
37:05would call
37:05an accidental death?
37:07They'd probably
37:08have to,
37:09because they couldn't
37:10prove one of us
37:11pushed you.
37:13Kill her, B.
37:14Kill her!
37:15Kill her!
37:16Kill her!
37:17I bet you wouldn't.
37:23I've got a much
37:24better idea.
37:27Get that uniform.
37:30Come on.
37:31We'll do it for you.
37:33Come on.
37:34There you go.
37:34Please, Vera.
37:36Where are the things, Vera?
37:38You're the animal.
37:39There is now.
37:40Come on.
37:41There is now.
37:42There is now.
37:45All right.
37:45The press might be
37:46coming here.
37:47But all they'll print
37:48is the fact there's a riot.
37:49It won't get you
37:50another inquest.
37:50Oh, it will if we tell
37:51them why we're rioting.
37:52Even if there is
37:53another inquest,
37:54they're never going
37:54to convict an innocent
37:55man on hearsay.
37:56You screws won't get
37:57it through your thick
37:57skulls, will you?
37:58He killed her.
37:59He's got to pay for it.
38:01Now, maybe your boss
38:02will get the ball rolling.
38:04You bitch!
38:05You'll never get
38:06them under your control,
38:06Brian.
38:07I've seen it happen before.
38:08You think you're in charge,
38:09but they're just looking
38:09for an excuse to explode.
38:15Lizzie!
38:15Listen, honey,
38:17I want you to give
38:18Margot a hand.
38:19And you know what to do
38:20if they play up.
38:22Too right.
38:25Here.
38:26Make yourself at home.
38:27Lizzie, don't!
38:28We don't have to listen
38:29to them.
38:30Take away their big sticks
38:31and they're nothing.
38:35That's none of your
38:36cheap plonk.
38:37We want justice!
38:43We want justice!
38:45We want justice!
38:46We want justice!
38:48We want justice!
38:51We want justice!
38:52Lizzie, everyone.
38:53Don't they care what's
38:53going on?
38:54Who's going on?
38:56Hey!
38:57We want justice!
38:59What's going on?
38:59You'll be alright by yourself.
39:00Yeah.
39:01We want justice!
39:02We want justice!
39:04Justice!
39:05What do we want?
39:06Justice!
39:07When do we want it?
39:08No!
39:09It's okay, B. I saw Fletcher at reception, and by the look of him, he doesn't know what's
39:16happening.
39:17What do we want?
39:36God!
39:39Vera!
39:40They're in the governor's office.
39:46I've got Mrs. Davidson and Meg.
39:48Are you all right?
39:49They're animals!
39:50Hello, Mrs. Hunley.
39:51Oh, thank heaven to you here, Mr. Reid.
39:52The officer told me my mum wasn't due another visit yet, but I've just got to see her.
39:57I'm sorry, those are the rules.
39:58Yeah, I know, but I told her how urgent it was.
39:59It's Josie, she's sick, and she's got to have an operation.
40:01An operation?
40:02Yeah.
40:03I know it's silly to worry my mum when she can't do anything, but I just thought if I
40:07could see her and tell her that I just couldn't perhaps visit her for a while yet.
40:10I'll see if I can clear it with the governor's office.
40:13Paul.
40:14Another word with you.
40:15Get him out of here, please.
40:16Mrs. Huntley, could you call me back later on, please?
40:17Yeah, but I've got to see her now.
40:18Mrs. Huntley, I'll get the message to look on her outside and report back immediately.
40:20How many are there?
40:21I don't know.
40:22I said, how about another drink?
40:23You want it?
40:24You get it yourself?
40:25You want me to ruin your nightlife for you?
40:26I'll get it for you.
40:27No.
40:28What's that?
40:29It's the internal phone.
40:30Don't answer it.
40:31Then they'll really know something's wrong, won't they?
40:32Yes.
40:33All right.
40:34But no tricks, all right, Davo?
40:35Don't answer it.
40:36Then they'll really know something's wrong, won't they?
40:37Yes.
40:38All right.
40:39But no tricks, all right, Davo?
40:40What's that?
40:41No trick.
40:42You want it?
40:43You get it yourself?
40:44You want me to ruin your nightlife for you?
40:47I'll get it for you.
40:48No.
40:49What's that?
40:50It's the internal phone.
40:53Don't answer it.
40:55Then they'll really know something's wrong, won't they?
40:58Yeah.
40:59All right.
41:00But no tricks, all right, Davo?
41:03Hello?
41:04Mrs Davidson, it's Paul Reid.
41:05We know what's going on up there.
41:06Is there any way you can let us know how many there are?
41:07Well, if you're looking for Birdsworth and Gaffney, they should be working.
41:22There are two of them.
41:24All right.
41:25I'm on my way up.
41:26That could be a bit risky.
41:29Naughty, naughty.
41:32How about another little drink, eh?
41:37Yeah.
41:39She's doing nuts.
42:02You should have seen Jackson's face, she was so scared, she was wetting herself.
42:14Oh, jeez.
42:16Davo was out going herself too.
42:18Well, listen to that silly little idiot.
42:20She's enjoying all this.
42:22Oh, leave her alone.
42:23She's all right.
42:23She's been a good help.
42:24She's a little killer.
42:26So what?
42:27There are plenty of murderers wandering around out there, Scott Free.
42:29The first friend I ever had was murdered.
42:32Nobody ever did anything about that either.
42:35The whole town ganged up on her.
42:37You know, life so damn miserable, she hung herself.
42:40But they were respectable.
42:43They got away with it.
42:45They just found someone they thought was a bit different and pushed and pushed.
42:50Suicide be damned.
42:52They were as guilty of killing her as if they'd lynched her themselves.
42:56Listen, haven't you got your wires a bit crossed?
42:57We're not supposed to be in this for personal revenge.
43:00We are supposed to be seeing the record straight for all of our benefits.
43:04Mum, she's too good.
43:05You know, I've only ever loved two people.
43:07And both of them were murdered.
43:10Only this time, they've got a new name for murder.
43:13Accidental death.
43:16Where the hell are those reporters?
43:18You know, I've never had a good look around here before.
43:29You've got some real nice stuff, Mrs. Davidson.
43:32Don't you think this has gone far enough?
43:34You can't have the rest of the screws finding out just yet.
43:37I'm sure they'd know by now.
43:40We'll let you go when we're good and ready.
43:42But then again, maybe we won't.
43:46Don't you worry, Mrs. J.
43:48I wouldn't let anything happen to you.
43:51Mrs. Davidson, it's Paul Reed.
43:53Lizzie's daughter's here to see her.
43:54Oh, leave it alone.
43:57I've got to see me daughter.
43:59I'm going to let him in.
44:00Where is she, Mr. Reed?
44:02I'm sorry, Lizzie.
44:03Not until you let Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Jackson go.
44:05Garney's just trying to trick you, Lizzie.
44:07Get lost, Reed.
44:07She said that Josie is very ill.
44:10What's wrong?
44:11Where is she?
44:11I've got to see her.
44:13I said get lost.
44:15All right, suit yourself.
44:17You rotten munger, I've got to see me daughter.
44:19We're just trying to trick you.
44:22You stupid old drunk.
44:23I told you it was a trick.
44:25Put them in their cells.
44:28You mean Josie isn't sick.
44:37They're here.
44:40About bloody time.
44:46Okay, girls, let it rip.
44:51Come on.
44:58Perfect timing.
44:59Yeah.
45:00I only have to got Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Jackson out.
45:02They're okay.
45:05Come on, honey.
45:06Fire away.
45:07Fire away.
45:10Fire away.
45:11Fire away.
45:12Fire away.
45:13Fire away.

45:30Fire away.
45:31Fire away.
45:32Fire away.
45:33Fire away.
45:34Fire away.
45:35Fire away.
45:36Fire away.
45:37Fire away.
45:38Fire away.
45:39There must be something we can do.
45:48Well, the police and fire brigade have been called.
45:49We'd better leave it to them.
45:51They've all been locked in their cells.
45:54We're missing two sets of keys.
45:56Well, you can bet they're up there.
45:59A suit will turn and turn it up.
46:03My boots will turn.
46:04Leanne!
46:06When they came together, we can't understand you!
46:09Hey, Leanne!
46:11Don't let the fire go out, love.
46:13Stay away!
46:14Stay away!
46:15Stay away!
46:17Leanne!
46:22Leanne!
46:24Leanne!
46:25Leanne!
46:26Leanne!
46:28Leanne!

48:07No!
48:08No!
48:10No!
