00:00Look, would you mind if I occasionally checked with you about the women or where I'm going wrong?
00:06I need someone to talk to and you've been great.
00:10Well, no, I don't mind. I think I'll be able to give you quite a bit of good advice, Mr Andrews.
00:14And now that we're alone, any chance I can get you to call me David?
00:20Well, I don't see why not. I'm Vera.
00:22Hi.
00:30Oh, you bastard!
00:48You're done, Farsi.
00:50Andrews, everything all right?
00:52Not a worry. No one of the daughters.
01:00You know, I could kill you right now.
01:12Walk right out of that door and never lose a night's sleep.
01:16You know that?
01:18Why don't you?
01:20There wouldn't be much fun in that, would there, eh?
01:23I'm a man who likes his pleasures, you know that.
01:27That's a chip, you know, Brian, are you?
01:29You know what?
01:33I reckon you owe your old friend, Jock, here a bit of a favour.
01:38And you're not much of a positive to say no in any case, are you?
01:41What do you want me to do?
01:44You wouldn't have a clue, would you?
01:48What I want you couldn't possibly supply.
01:50I know what you are, Brian.
01:52You couldn't satisfy the likes of me.
01:55You wouldn't have a clue.
01:57But I'll tell you what you are going to do.
02:00You're going to work for Jock.
02:02That's right.
02:03Because every time I come in here, I'm going to want $300 from you.
02:09You understand?
02:10Well, what if I don't?
02:16If you don't, I'll do two things.
02:19First of all, I'll break every bone in your body.
02:25That's right.
02:27And then I'll inform my friends, the boys in blue, that you and your wee friend, um, Helen Smart,
02:33are right here for the pickings.
02:35You'll both be whisked off to Wentworth in a flash.
02:39I promise you something, if you don't, you'll be sorry for the day you ever heard the name Jock Stewart.
02:51Poor wee sham, Gilmer.
02:53Eh?
02:53Remember her?
02:54Eh?
02:55Pretty wee thing, too.
02:56I remember her all lying crumpled at the bottom of these stairs.
02:59Poor wee thing.
03:00But, you know, you, you were absolutely bonkers to think you could put me away, Brian.
03:06Eh?
03:06Bonkers.
03:08Anyway, this is what I'm going to do.
03:10Now, listen.
03:14I'm going to call in here every day.
03:16See?
03:17I'm going to ask for you.
03:20And they'll think you're doing a real good job.
03:21You can satisfy me.
03:24And each time I come in, I'm going to want that $300.
03:30Now, you're going to have to work bloody hard to get that sort of money together, aren't you, eh?
03:38You know, just looking at you, in any case, Brian, I reckon that, um, I reckon you could really do with the practice.
03:46Don't you?
03:47Eh?
03:53I'll see you tomorrow.
03:56Right.
04:00Oh, that's bloody awful.
04:14Isn't there anything else?
04:16No, nothing much.
04:17Not unless you like them quiz shows.
04:19Nah, I can't answer any of the questions.
04:22That's only for the likes of Mr. High and Mighty Andrews.
04:26Well, maybe now that we've got a teacher, we might learn all these sorts of things.
04:30You never know.
04:31We could go on a quiz show ourselves when we get out.
04:34Lizzie Birdsworth, the champ.
04:36Now, Mrs. Birdsworth, or may I call you Lizzie, here we go for the $65,000 question.
04:43What is the name of a place of detention for women, starting with the letter W?
04:47You don't need a teacher for that one.
04:50We don't need a teacher anyway.
04:52All that stuff about English grammar.
04:54You can stick it as far as I'm concerned.
04:56Well, I don't know, Phil.
04:57I reckon it helps if you can talk right.
04:59Come on, Dore.
05:00Who cares about that?
05:02Well, it might help you get a job or something.
05:04Oh, I reckon it's bloody boring.
05:07That teacher's nothing special.
05:09I've been through the school of hard knocks, don't forget, and that's the best teacher.
05:14Well, I reckon he's all right.
05:17So do I.
05:19But only because he wears pants.
05:20Well, I'm on trolley duty tomorrow.
05:23That'll do me.
05:24I don't need to learn nothing.
05:26I was reading this article on real interesting stuff about how you can find out everything
05:30you want to know by looking at your feet.
05:32Like when you put your foot in it, you mean?
05:36No, I mean if you study your feet, you can find out what diseases you've got.
05:40Well, I've got corns, blisters and varicose veins.
05:45You don't get it, do you?
05:46Listen, if that teacher taught us interesting things like that, well, I'd be in it for sure.
05:51Well, I reckon that everything he teaches is okay and I'm going to go to school every
05:55day that I can.
05:56Reckon he might be your type, eh?
05:58Might be.
05:59Hey, Mr Andrews, will you teach me?
06:05Oh, give it up, Phil.
06:06I reckon he's a real nice bloke.
06:09Hey, Lizzie, Doreen's got her eye on him.
06:11Oh, he wouldn't even notice with his nose in all them books.
06:14Doreen's gonna make him notice, aren't you, Doreen?
06:16Will you give up, Phil?
06:20You can go to bed now and dream if you're Mr Andrews.
06:25Well, it's better than dreaming about your feet.
06:27Good night, love.
06:52What's a Sheila like you doing out so late?
06:55Oh, not talking, are you?
06:56Hey, Charlie, she's a bit shy.
06:58Needs looking after.
06:58Will you go to hell?
07:00Oh, she talks.
07:01You want a lift?
07:02Buzz off, buster.
07:03Come on, we'll show you a good time.
07:05Get out of my eye, you bitch!
07:09Ugly old pig, anyway!
07:13Bloody quiet tonight.
07:14Yes, it is.
07:15Duty officer driver, please.
07:18That's a new face, Pete.
07:19Check it out.
07:20Yes, Sarge.
07:21Model's eggs, Brandon.
07:21Part of the egg, Brandon.
07:22Come on.
07:30Come on.
07:31Get down there.
07:32Come on.
07:33Get down there.
07:39You're welcome.
07:39What?
07:40What?
07:43Awww.
07:44Awww.
07:45Awww.
07:46Awww.
07:47Awww.
07:47Awww.
07:47Awww.
07:47Awww.
07:49Awww.
07:50Awww.
07:50Awww.
07:50Awww.
07:51No, it's no good we lost her.
08:00I'd like to know who she was, though.
08:03We'd better get back.
08:04Scared her off of nothing else.
08:21Oh, a bit late, fella.
08:30Come in.
08:33What the hell happened to you? You look terrible.
08:38Here, this might help a little.
08:46I found him.
08:47And?
08:49I blew it.
08:50How come?
08:52I tried.
08:55You know, I never thought that I could kill anybody,
08:57but I could have killed that bastard so easily.
09:01What happened?
09:03He must have heard me, or sensed I was there.
09:05Something I don't know, but by the time I could do anything,
09:07it's too late.
09:10What'd you do?
09:12You know, he laughed.
09:15That foul bastard laughed.
09:18And then he said to me
09:22that he was going to come back every day
09:25and he was going to get $300 from me or else telecoms.
09:28$300?
09:30Do you know how hard you'd have to work to make that?
09:33What are you going to do?
09:34I don't know.
09:40Oh, listen, honey.
09:42Why don't you go away somewhere quiet?
09:45You've enough money.
09:46You can keep the wig and the clothes.
09:47No!
09:48I've got to do this on my own.
09:51Do what?
09:53Pay Jock Stewart's expenses?
09:55You've got to be joking.
09:58Give me another one.
10:00Are you sure?
10:00I've got to do this, Helen.
10:05Because if I don't do this,
10:07I would never be able to live with myself.
10:12What I've done
10:13is so...
10:18I just couldn't face myself, that's all.
10:20I took the job.
10:25I've been with all those men.
10:29And one day,
10:31Jock Stewart is going to make a mistake
10:33and I'm going to get him.
10:34If it takes a hundred men a day,
10:36I'm going to get him.
10:37Damn him!
10:38I'll do it!
10:39I know it!
10:43I don't see.
10:50Good morning, Miss Bennet.
11:00Doreen.
11:01Good morning.
11:02Burns is the only one this morning.
11:03All the others opted for work.
11:05Why, I can't imagine.
11:06Any other time,
11:07they'd find an excuse not to work.
11:09Well, come in, Doreen.
11:11I'll set out some books on the table,
11:12take any one,
11:13turn to chapter one,
11:13and after you've read it,
11:14we'll talk about it, all right?
11:15Yeah, sure.
11:17Well, I kind of made too good an impression
11:19on them yesterday.
11:19I feel a bit of a fool
11:21setting out all these books
11:22and having only one turn up.
11:23You can be sure of one thing.
11:24They're up to something.
11:25But why?
11:25I mean, this is only for their own good.
11:27Who knows why they do a lot of things?
11:30I'm disappointed.
11:31I felt sure more of them
11:31would be interested.
11:32These women don't care.
11:33They haven't got the brains
11:34to realize you're a good teacher.
11:36You're wasting your time on them.
11:38You should be working with children
11:39who deserve you,
11:40not this lot.
11:40Well, if this keeps up,
11:41I'll have to go back to teaching kids.
11:43But I'm not going to give up yet.
11:44I may have come on
11:45a bit strong yesterday.
11:46I'm going to have to learn
11:47by trial and error.
11:48Anyway,
11:49thank you for your encouragement.
11:51Burns can stay here
11:51until 11.45
11:52unless you want a break.
11:53No, no, no.
11:54That's all right.
11:55I'll leave you to it.
11:55Thanks.
11:58What do you make of it, Dory?
12:02Morning, Jim.
12:03Lovely day, isn't it?
12:04Yeah, good morning, Sid.
12:05Well,
12:06what have you got for me?
12:08Your ego.
12:09Oh,
12:09always a keen starter.
12:11I like to get on with things,
12:12you know what I mean?
12:13Yes,
12:13well,
12:13there's plenty to do.
12:14Good.
12:15I'd better check your tools.
12:16Oh,
12:16yeah,
12:16nearly forgot.
12:18Yeah,
12:19you must get tired
12:20of checking everything.
12:21You get used to it.
12:22It's for your own sake,
12:23really.
12:24That way,
12:24if the women are caught with anything,
12:26you're in the clear.
12:26Ah,
12:27I see.
12:27Look,
12:28do you have a list
12:28of all your tools?
12:29Well,
12:29no,
12:30I don't.
12:30Well,
12:31it may not be a bad idea.
12:32That way,
12:32you can be sure
12:32that you leave
12:33with the same number
12:34of hacksaw blades
12:34as you arrived with.
12:35Oh,
12:36I see.
12:36Well,
12:37I'll do that then,
12:38of course.
12:38Good.
12:39Well,
12:39I've got a list
12:39of jobs for you to do,
12:40Julie.
12:43I doubt if you got
12:43to them all today.
12:44Listen,
12:45could I include a garden
12:46in my duties?
12:47I'm a keen gardener.
12:48Yeah,
12:49I don't see why not.
12:50You'd better attend
12:50to these things first,
12:51but after that,
12:52feel free.
12:53The garden could do
12:53with a bit of expertise.
12:54Oh,
12:55I don't know about expertise,
12:56but I could do
12:56a few little things.
12:57Well,
12:58let's get on
12:58with this lot then,
12:59shall we?
13:04Well,
13:04here we are.
13:05Yeah,

13:58How are you?
13:59Oh,
14:00I'm fine,
14:01Chabby's a chipmunk.
14:02I thought you weren't working.
14:04Well,
14:04you can't keep an old
14:05bugger like me.
14:06Oh,
14:06I shouldn't say that.
14:08It's not ladylike,
14:09is it?
14:09I've heard salty language
14:11of that in my time.
14:12I bet you have.
14:13Anyhow,
14:14how come you're
14:14pushing this trolley?
14:15Screws morning tea.
14:17Oh,
14:17you're the tea lady,
14:18are you?
14:18Sort of.
14:20I brought you something.
14:21Hope you don't mind.
14:22What is it?
14:24Oh,
14:24look at that.
14:25That's lovely.
14:27Smell it.
14:30Lavender.
14:31I love lavender.
14:33How'd you know?
14:34Well,
14:34I wasn't sure
14:35you'd like it.
14:36I'm going to hang
14:37that by my bed
14:38so I can smell it
14:39all night.
14:40Well,
14:40I'm glad you like it.
14:42You want to be careful
14:43though,
14:44old vinegar doesn't
14:44catch you bringing
14:45things in.
14:46Who?
14:47Vinegar.
14:48You know,
14:48Miss Bennett.
14:49Why would you
14:50call her that?
14:51Well,
14:52she can be a bit
14:53sour,
14:54you know.
14:54Oh,
14:55I see.
14:56Well,
14:57I'd better be getting on
14:58or the screws
14:58will wonder
14:59where their tea's gone.
15:00Yeah,
15:00all right.
15:01And have a good day,
15:02won't you?

15:34dollars.

16:52No?
16:52No?
16:53I'll see you next time.
17:23I suppose this is the wrong thing to say, but you look awful.
17:38Oh, God.
17:39Was he there?
17:41Yes.
17:42Did he give you a hard time?
17:43Yes, he did.
17:46At first, I didn't have the money, you see.
17:49So he threatened me, said he'd come back later.
17:54Did he rough you up?
17:56A bit.
17:59Anyway, he came back later.
18:02I had the money for him.
18:08Listen, I...
18:10I want you to do me a favor, huh?
18:15Sure, anything. What is it?
18:16This money is Doreen's money.
18:20There's $800 here, and I want you to open an account for her, huh?
18:25In Doreen's name?
18:27Yeah.
18:29You could still do her signature, huh?
18:31Yeah, I suppose so, but you're going to need this money.
18:35No, I'm not, you see.
18:38I owed her a lot more than that, but I've lost that, I've spent that, and...
18:42She'll need some when she gets out.
18:44Hey, this sounds like you're going back on the inside.
18:49Yeah, it does.
18:51Well, what about that Scottish bastard? What about him?
18:56Don't you worry yourself.
18:58Not about Mr. Jock Stewart.
19:02He's finished.
19:06Well, what are you doing?
19:07Hello, police?
19:11Oh, Judy, stop it.
19:16You, uh...
19:18Looking for Judy Bryant?
19:21There's a man called Jock Stewart who used to work at Wentworth.
19:25Now, if you follow him, you'll find her.
19:29Because he's looking after her.
19:31Yeah.
19:31Good morning, good morning.
19:52Oh, good morning, Sid.
19:54Oh, you look bright.
19:55Nice to see a happy face around here, isn't it, Julie?
19:57It is.
19:58Well, even a prison can have a happy face at her, can't it?
20:01Yes, why not, eh?
20:02Oh, nearly forgot.
20:03Here's a list of tools Mr. Fletcher asked me to make up.
20:06Ah, that's a good idea.
20:07You got much to do today, Sid?
20:08Ah, a few little things.
20:10I'm going to look at the garden.
20:11Oh, that reminds me, Mrs. Morris.
20:13I was wondering if...
20:14Someone could show me where things have been planted before.
20:18It does make a difference, you know.
20:20I was thinking it might be good for Mrs. Birtsworth to get some fresh air.
20:26Well, it's not the usual thing to let a prisoner off on her own.
20:30Still, she's only on light duties, and as you said, it might do her some good.
20:34Ah, yeah, fresh air.
20:37Yeah, that's the very best medicine in the world.
20:39I've believed in that all my life.
20:40Well, let me know when you're ready, and I'll see what I can do.
20:43Thanks, Mrs. Morris. I appreciate that.
20:45Well, time to begin, then.
20:47Have a nice morning.
20:50Well, we could certainly do with more like him around the place.
21:08Just as I thought.
21:10She's probably got her in there.
21:11We'll give him a couple of minutes, and we'll go in and catch him at it.
21:14Get a bit slack on you?
21:31Well, it's a bit early.
21:33I just thought I might pop over here just to check up on you, in case you get any wee
21:38ideas about, you know, running away.
21:41I mean, after all, I'm looking after you, so I naturally feel responsible for you.
21:47Yeah, all right.
21:48You'll get your money.
21:49Just don't push me, okay?
21:51I'll get my money, all right.
21:52Don't worry about that, Brian.
21:54Because if I don't, I'll bash the living daylights out of you, and that's a promise.
22:00All right.
22:01It's just that I can't get any money with you hanging about me all the time, can I?
22:05Whoa, whoa, whoa.
22:06What's the hurry?
22:08I mean, after all, I'm paying for this.
22:12I might as well get something out of it.
22:13Why don't you, um, why don't you be nice to old Jock, eh?
22:21You've got to be kidding.
22:23No!
22:24That's not part of the deal!
22:27Well, Sharon Gilmer was nice.
22:28She was very nice.
22:29I mean, one dyke's as good as another.
22:33You bastard!
22:34You pig!
22:34Police heads on the table!
22:36Right, Shabazz, under arrest.
22:38Four.
22:39I've just done no whole massage.
22:40There's no crime in that, has I?
22:42Your name Jock Stewart?
22:43It is, yeah.
22:44What about it?
22:45Do you know who this woman is?
22:46I haven't a clue.
22:48Come on, Stewart.
22:49What we just heard outside the door makes you and Judy Bryant here good, mate.
22:52I've never seen her before in my life.
22:54Oh, come on, Jock.
22:55You might as well tell her the truth.
22:57The game's up now.
23:01Stinking rotten bitch.
23:02You bastard!
23:03All right, get off!
23:05Come on!
23:07You're an ex-screw, aren't you?
23:10I've got news for you.
23:11I'm going to throw the book at you.
23:14A quiet spell on the other side of the bars will be no picnic, will it?
23:17Oh, not so fast!
23:20Well, it was worth a try, wasn't it?
23:22I just want to say one thing to you, Jock.
23:29This one was for Sharon.
23:32And I hope they killed you.
23:35Come on.
23:35I never knew much about prisons till I came here.
23:42It's an eye-opener, isn't it?
23:43It certainly is.
23:44Well, I never really gave it much thought.
23:46How are things going for you here?
23:48All right?
23:48Oh, fine.
23:49Yeah, it's nice to be of use to someone.
23:51Yeah, I like to help out when I can.
23:52Oh, it's sort of a change to have some gentlemen in the place.
23:58Oh, chivalry isn't dead yet, do you know?
24:01How are the classes, Mr. Andrews?
24:02Great for Doreen.
24:05I don't feel I'm getting very far, though, with just one pupil.
24:07Although she is very enthusiastic.
24:10That won't last.
24:12No, I'm hoping she might persuade some of the others.
24:14Perhaps.
24:15The other thing that worries me is the room.
24:17It's a depressing environment.
24:18I expect I'll have to use it for a while.
24:20Well, the education department promised a portable classroom,
24:23but it could take forever.
24:24Well, maybe I could do something.
24:26Oh, that'd be great.
24:27I was thinking of working on it myself.
24:28You're a teacher, not a handyman.
24:29Quite right.
24:30That's what I'm here for.
24:32It makes you think a teacher can't use his hands.
24:34I built a boat once, just a dinghy, but it didn't sink.
24:38Well, you certainly pick the hard projects, don't you?
24:40Well, I guess that's why I'm here.
24:42Now, I really believe that if I can persuade some of the women
24:44to put their minds to it,
24:46they could get some kind of confidence going.
24:48You're an idealist.
24:48Yes, I suppose I am.
24:51Well, nothing wrong with that, son.
24:53You stick to it.
24:56Certainly I'll need more shelving than display boards.
24:58Oh, I can knock some of those up in no time.
25:00You let me know what you want.
25:01I'll get up to it.
25:02Well, I'll ask Mrs Davison for some paint, too.
25:04She really needs brightening up.
25:05Good morning.
25:06Hello, Sid.
25:07How are you?
25:08Oh, same as ever.
25:09Oh, I'd like a word with Mrs Bird.
25:11I'll pop in later on.
25:13Okay, see you later.
25:13I've brought you something.
25:18Oh, look at that.
25:23Oh, it's lovely.
25:25Did you grow it?
25:26Yes, I did.
25:28Oh, Lizzie, haven't you collected the tea things yet?
25:31Oh, just on my way, Mrs J.
25:32I mean, Mrs M.
25:34It's not the same, is it?
25:36Oh, you'll get used to it.
25:37I suppose I will.
25:39Well, off you go, then.
25:40Oh, and Lizzie, when you've taken the trolley back to the kitchen,
25:43you can go for a walk in the garden, Mr Humphrey.
25:45Oh, beauty!
25:48Thank you, Mrs J.
25:51I said you have to be careful.
25:52You could get Lizzie into trouble if you keep giving her things.
25:54Well, I thought a small plant would be all right.
25:57Well, it's against regulations, I'm afraid.
25:59Oh, well, I wouldn't want to break any rules.
26:00I just thought it'd be something nice for it to have in her room.
26:03Well, the problem is, if someone asks where it came from...
26:06Yeah, I see.
26:07Well, I promise I won't be smuggler any more.
26:09Thanks for being so understanding.
26:11Hey, you could put me on a charge or something, couldn't you?
26:16Well, we wouldn't want to lose our handyman now, would we?
26:19Oh, heavens, no!
26:21The idea is that instead of using a number, you call it X.
26:25Yeah.
26:26So you might have something like this.
26:27X plus 3 equals 5.
26:29You see?
26:30Oh, yeah.
26:31So, what is X?
26:34I don't know.
26:34Not interrupting anything, am I?
26:36No, not at all.
26:37Come here.
26:38You're, uh...
26:39Phyllis.
26:39Phyllis Hunt.
26:40What can I do for you?
26:41Well, I came to your class the other day.
26:43I remember, yes.
26:44Well, to tell you the truth, I thought it was pretty boring.
26:47And then I got this great idea, see?
26:49Well, you could do a class about feet.
26:51Feet?
26:52Yeah, I read about it in a magazine.
26:54It was real interesting.
26:55Well, you'd better show it to me.
26:56Yeah, you know, if you had more classes about interesting things like that, well, lots of the
27:00girls would come to them.
27:01What sort of things?
27:02Well, I don't know.
27:03But you could ask the girls, and then you'd know what they'd like to learn.
27:07Well, that's not such a bad idea, fellas.
27:08Thank you very much.
27:09I'm always open to suggestion.
27:10That's okay.
27:11Uh, what about this X?
27:14Uh, yes.
27:14Where was I?
27:15Um...
27:16Well, X plus 3 equals 5.
27:18What is X?
27:20It's not easy, is it?
27:22Well, 2 plus 3 equals 5.
27:23Oh.
27:24X plus 3 equals...
27:24Sorry to interrupt, but the Governor would like to see Doreen.
27:27But I haven't done anything.
27:29Honest, Mr Fletcher.
27:30Nobody's accusing you of anything.
27:32It's got something to do with your divorce.
27:34The papers have come through.
27:35Come in.
27:45Oh, thank you, Mr Fletcher.
27:47Sit down, Doreen.
27:48I've, uh, had a letter from Kevin's solicitor
27:52in closing an application for dissolution of marriage.
27:55Does that mean I'm divorced?
27:56No, no, it's just an application.
27:57Well, when will Kevin get the divorce, then?
27:59Uh, there is a waiting period, I understand.
28:01How long?
28:03Well, it depends on the case.
28:05I should think you ought to be quite quick,
28:06as there are no children involved.
28:08You will have to sign this acknowledgement of service.
28:11It simply means that you have received Kevin's application.
28:16Well, what's this?
28:16Well, that tells you what you can do.
28:18Well, I know what I can do.
28:19Nothing.
28:19Just stay in here and get divorced.
28:22I've also had a letter from Kevin's solicitor
28:25offering you maintenance.
28:26I don't want his money.
28:27I can look after meself.
28:29I've got my own money anyway.
28:30That's just it.
28:31You haven't, remember?
28:32Well, I don't want his money.
28:35Doreen, I think you should give this some thought.
28:37What is there to think about?
28:39I can look after myself.
28:40He left me, and that's that.
28:42He's only trying to help.
28:43Well, I don't need his help.
28:44You just tell him to lay off.
28:45I don't want anything from him.
28:47Well, Doreen, I think you should look at these forms, give them some thought, and then bring
28:51them back.
28:52All right.
28:53Can I go now?
28:54Thank you, Mr. Fletcher.
28:57Doreen, if you have any questions, come and see me.
28:59Well, hello there, Vera.
29:12Bryant.
29:13In person.
29:15That better?
29:17I knew you wouldn't last long.
29:19You should have learnt your lesson from the last time.
29:21Yeah, well, maybe I'm a slow learner, huh?
29:23There you are.
29:24On the line, Bryant.
29:27Be nice to me, Vera.
29:29That's enough, or you'll start off on the pound.
29:30Oh, well, what a lousy homecoming that'd be.
29:32Your name is Judy Bryant?
29:34Yes.
29:34You have been charged with escaping from lawful custody.
29:38Guilty as charged, Your Honour.
29:40That's fine.
29:41Except that the word new is spelt with a K.
29:44You spell it that way, it means brand new.
29:45You'll see the difference.
29:49Do you still want burns?
29:50Yes, yes.
29:51Thank you, Mr. Fletcher.
29:52What happened?
29:54I got these.
29:56You go on with your work, girls.
29:57I'll check it in the moment.
29:58Sit down, Dory.
30:00You want a hand to fill them in?
30:01Oh, yeah, because I can never understand all this legal stuff.
30:04Oh, it's not too hard.
30:06Well, maybe this is the sort of stuff you should be teaching us,
30:08because we have to do this all the time.
30:10Well, that's not such a bad idea.
30:12Let's have a look.
30:13I take it your husband's making the application.
30:15Kevin Arnold Burns.
30:17Yeah, Kevin.
30:18Were you married long?
30:20No.
30:20We had a ceremony and everything,
30:22but we were never really married.
30:23I just got his name and one day out with him.
30:26What was he like?
30:28I'd rather not talk about it.
30:31No.
30:31It must have been hard for him being married to a crim,
30:33especially being as straight as he was.
30:36Right, okay.
30:37Well, let's read through the forms together then, shall we?
30:39Yeah, okay.
30:42Yes?
30:45Bryant, Mrs. Davidson.
30:46I'll bring her in.
30:47Come on.
30:50Well, Bryant, this is becoming quite a habit.
30:52Hey, where's the welcoming committee?
30:54Don't be impertinent.
30:56Escaping may be important in the eyes of the prisoners,
30:58but not to me.
30:58No, ma'am.
30:59We're going to be watching you very closely from now on.
31:02Well, I'm not planning on going anywhere, am I?
31:04I think it's unfortunate that you've taken this attitude.
31:08You came in here on a minor charge,
31:09and you are now publicly known as a dangerous criminal
31:12with a considerably increased sentence.
31:15Well, that just goes to show you how effective rehabilitation is, doesn't it?
31:19I'm going to suggest that you work hard at taking up a new interest.
31:24We have an education program here, which may help.
31:27Well, that's terrific.
31:28You know, I've always wanted to be an explosives expert.
31:31That's enough, Bryant.
31:32You will have to face the fact that you are going to be in here for some time.
31:37I think it's important you find something of value to do.
31:40Value?
31:41Let me tell you something, Mrs. Davidson.
31:43The only valuable thing that I've done since I've been in here
31:46was to get out of the place
31:47and to make sure that certain people got what was coming to them.
31:50What do you mean?
31:52You were so smug on the television.
31:54The coroner's inquiry has proved that Sharon Gilmore's death was an accident.
31:58You just got out the usual whitewash.
31:59That matter is closed.
32:00You bet it is,
32:02because Jock Stewart has got what he deserved.
32:07On a divorce, the court has the power to settle disputes
32:09between you about property
32:10and can transfer property from one to the other.
32:12Do you understand that?
32:13Yeah.
32:14Back up, ladies.
32:15Is it lunch?
32:16No, that's only the muster bell.
32:17Oh, I'll get used to it one day.
32:19Yeah.
32:20Now, do you have any property?
32:21Oh, just my mum's house,
32:23but I don't think Kevin would want to take that away from me.
32:25Right-ho, ladies.
32:26Move out.
32:27Mrs. Morris,
32:28could I stay and talk to Mr. Andrews for a minute, please?
32:30The bell has gone, Doreen.
32:31But I'll only be a little while.
32:33I'll bring her down, Mrs. Morris.
32:34Very well, then.
32:38It's funny being divorced.
32:40It's very common these days.
32:41Yeah, I know.
32:42But it's just that I feel as though nobody wants me anymore.
32:46You shouldn't put yourself down like that, Doreen.
32:48It's very important that you don't let the divorce ruin your confidence.
32:51What have I got to be confident about?
32:53Oh, come on.
32:53You've got a lot going for you.
32:56Do you think I'm pretty?
32:57Yes, I do.
32:58I think you're very pretty.
32:59I think you're very pretty.
33:08And he's going to plant flowers all over the place.
33:11This place is going to look like the botanical gardens.
33:14I'm going to make a change.
33:16Oh, you should have just heard said he knows the names of all the flowers.
33:21Did you know that you can get pink and white forget-me-nots?
33:24Go on.
33:25Yeah.
33:26Oh, God.
33:28I'm going to ask that teacher bloke if he can teach me some haughty culture or whatever
33:33you call it.
33:35Isn't he great?
33:36Who, love?
33:37Oh, Mr. Andrews.
33:39I just think he's so nice.
33:40Now, hang on a minute.
33:42Don't tell me you're getting all mushy over the teacher.
33:45Well, I reckon he's a bit of all right.
33:46Yeah, well, just you remember that he's an officer.
33:49He may not be a screw, but he's still one of them.
33:52So just watch it.
33:53I don't mind watching him at all.
33:55You understand the thing I'm saying, do you?
33:58Hey, where's the welcoming committee?
34:02Where did he get caught?
34:03Oh, why?
34:05What happened?
34:07Gee, it's really nice to see all you.
34:10Don't tell me you're happy to be back in here.
34:11Oh, well, what do you think?
34:14Nothing's changed, has it?
34:15Not a thing.
34:16Well, come on, you lot.
34:17Get a move on.
34:18See what I mean?
34:20How do you like being an officer?
34:22I don't know, really.
34:23I don't feel like one.
34:24Well, you may not dress like one.
34:26And when it comes to the regulations, you'll find that you are.
34:28Well, I hope the women wouldn't see me that way.
34:30Oh, I suppose that depends on you.
34:33Yes.
34:34The department didn't talk about this in the orientation course that I did.
34:38Mind you, I didn't get a chance to finish it.
34:40What did they teach you?
34:41Not much, really.
34:42Now that I'm on the job, I realise it didn't help at all.
34:44I'm flying by the seat of my pants a bit.
34:46Oh, you'll get the hang of it.
34:47I hope so.
34:48I might come to class myself.
34:50I could learn something.
34:51To join the classes, you're always welcome.
34:53It could even help relations with the prisoners.
34:55Oh, I doubt it.
34:56Oh, there you are.
34:57No, no, do sit down.
34:58I just wanted to make sure you knew about a classification meeting this afternoon.
35:02No, I didn't.
35:03Well, I'd like you to advise us on the progress of the women and how much time we should allot
35:07them for classes.
35:08Right.
35:08Well, I'll be there.
35:09Would you like a report on progress so far?
35:11Yes, but it doesn't have to be too detailed.
35:13Now, don't let me interrupt your lunch any further.
35:15I'll see you at two o'clock.
35:16Right.
35:16I just love the class of those.
35:19Highlight of the week.
35:20Well, I'm glad you're coming.
35:21We could do with some new ideas.
35:23Well, I hope I can help.
35:24Well, so long as you don't take too long with your reports.
35:26The meetings are long enough without the education officer going mad.
35:28I know a lot about Hungarian goulash and what we had just now was not goulash.
35:36That was Irish stew.
35:37Anyone who knew anything about cooking would know that.
35:40You know, you ought to be on telly, Lizzie.
35:42Oh, that's a good idea.
35:43You reckon I ought to take some cooking lessons from that Mr Andrews?
35:46Oh, that'd be great.
35:48Oh, by the way, I meant to tell you, Doreen has fallen in love with the teacher.
35:52I have not.
35:53I just think he's a nice bloke, that's all.
35:55Tell us what happened on the outside, Judge.
35:57Oh, where do I start, huh?
35:59It doesn't matter.
36:01Well, I can tell you one thing.
36:02If I'd known what was going to happen to me while I'm out there, I don't think I would have gone.
36:05Why?
36:07Well, it wasn't worth it, I don't think.
36:10A lot of innocent people got hurt because of me.
36:13And, uh...
36:13Go on.
36:16Well, there's one thing I don't regret for a second.
36:18What's that?
36:20I got Chuck Stewart.
36:21You what?
36:22What did you do?
36:24Well, with a bit of luck, he's behind bars as we speak.
36:27Well, Wonder Woman's got nothing on Judy Bryant.
36:30Wonder Woman didn't have to work in a massage polo to get her man.
36:33What?
36:35Yeah.
36:36You see, Helen found out that he was working the polo, so I got her to get me a job at the one he went to.
36:41But I can't imagine you working in a parlour.
36:45It's the most disgusting thing I've ever done.
36:47Oh, but it was worth it, wasn't it, to get Chuck Stewart?
36:51I had to do it.
36:53I owed that much to Sharon.
36:56Well, at least you got the bastard.
37:02Ah, Judy Bryant.
37:03What sort of a state is she in?
37:05I think it's too early, to be sure.
37:06She's still arrogant.
37:07These women never learn.
37:09I'd like a close eye kept on her to make sure she gets back into routine.
37:12The education programme should help.
37:14When will I see her?
37:15Well, I'll try to re-interview to see her this afternoon, if possible.
37:18Right.
37:20Which brings us to you, Mr. Andrews.
37:23Yes, well, right.
37:25I can't report much.
37:26I think the initial setting up is always a bit unsettling.
37:29However, I would like to ask if I could initiate an interview programme
37:32where I talk to each of the women and assess their educational needs.
37:35Well, that sounds excellent.
37:36What do you think?
37:37I wouldn't believe everything the women tell you.
37:39Well, Lizzie Birdsworth asked me just before I came here
37:41to see you about attending classes.
37:43I might as well start with her.
37:44Right.
37:45Good.
37:45We'll expect reports on the prison's educational progress.
37:48Thanks, Mrs. Davidson.
37:49Well, how much time will the women be allowed to attend the classes?
37:51What do you think?
37:52I'd imagine that it'd depend on each one's ability and inclination.
37:55What would be the maximum?
37:57Well, if you have some promising students,
37:58I don't see why they couldn't have, say, five half days a week.
38:01What about their other duties?
38:03Well, I don't think the laundry will fall apart if a couple of them go off to classes.
38:06They'll all want to be in it just to get out of work.
38:08That hasn't been my experience so far.
38:11Well, why don't you draw up a timetable after you've interviewed the women
38:14and we can assess it?
38:15Right.
38:15Well, is there anything else?
38:17No.
38:17No.
38:18Well, thank you, everyone.
38:19All right.
38:20Might as well start with Lizzie.
38:21Okay.
38:21See, I didn't go much on schooling when I was a kid.
38:26I mean, it wasn't important for a girl, but I'm no deal.
38:30I can see that.
38:31I reckon I could have done anything if I'd had a chance.
38:34Well, what sort of things would you like to do?
38:36I got it all worked out and that's why I wanted to see you.
38:40I want to be a lawyer.
38:42I handled my own case real well last time.
38:45And I want to be a horticulturist.
38:48Do you know one of them fellas that knows all about flowers?
38:51Hold on, Lizzie.
38:52You should be a bit realistic.
38:53What do you mean?
38:54Well, you're aiming too high.
38:55You should start with the basics.
38:57Yeah, you just listen to me, young fella.
38:59I know what I want.
39:01You're supposed to help us prisoners and I'm telling you.
39:04Lizzie, what you're suggesting is ridiculous.
39:07Your age, your lack of basic education, it just isn't possible.
39:10You reckon I'm one of them silly old buggers who can't count up to ten, don't you?
39:14No, of course not.
39:16Well, you don't care what we want, do you?
39:20Just so long as you get your fat teacher's check each week.
39:23You don't give a bugger about us.
39:26Lizzie.
39:28That fella who reckons he's a teacher's not worth talking to.
39:35Look, I don't know what was going on, but you've got to remember to take it easy with her.
39:38Apart from the fact that she's 72, she's just out of hospital.
39:41Yes, I know, Jim, but she said she wanted to be a lawyer.
39:43All I said was how ridiculous it was.
39:45I mean, what else could I say?
39:46Yeah, well, that's your problem.
39:48Just don't upset them, that's all.
39:50That's how trouble starts.
39:51Yeah, well, I dropped out of high school before I could finish, but I really liked it up to length.
40:05Why'd you leave?
40:06Personal reasons.
40:07You wouldn't be interested in that.
40:08Well, it might help.
40:09No, it won't.
40:10Do you have any ideas on what sort of classes you'd like to do?
40:14Depends.
40:15What's on offer?
40:16That's a good question.
40:17Well, so far I've been teaching fairly basic English and maths and so on, but there's no
40:21reason why we can't branch out into more interesting areas.
40:24Such as?
40:24Well, art, for instance, or pottery.
40:28Pottery, huh?
40:28Yeah, I like pottery.
40:31I'm not very good at it, though.
40:33All right, then.
40:34I've had some experience in that field.
40:35We'll see what we can do.
40:37I'll tell you what you ought to do.
40:39You know, you'd be surprised how many of the women here just don't know how to cope when
40:42they get on the outside.
40:44I mean, things like where to go for help if they need it, or what their rights are, that
40:47sort of thing.
40:48Yes, I've found that out.
40:49Yeah, well, I think English and maths, they're fine.
40:52But if you could offer the women something that they could really do to help themselves, I think
40:56they'd be in it.
40:57You know, it's crazy.
40:59Mrs. Davidson, she's always talking about rehabilitation.
41:02There's no such thing.
41:03I'm a prime example of that.
41:05You know what rehabilitation means?
41:08Yeah.
41:09Putting people on the straight path.
41:11That means to restore to form a condition.
41:14Well, that's true, isn't it?
41:16In come the crims.
41:17Out they go.
41:17Better crims than ever.
41:19Rehabilitation exists after all, eh?
41:21Well, that's why I want the women to learn something.
41:24That way they won't have to be the same when they get out.
41:26Looks like you and I agree on the same thing.
41:28Good.
41:28There's a start.
41:30Okay.
41:31You can count on me.
41:32I'm afraid it might take a little while to set up.
41:34Well, that doesn't matter.
41:35I don't think I'm going anywhere for a while.
41:37The sooner I'm set up, the better.
41:39Well, I think it'll make a nice change, eh?
41:44Well, I hope so.
41:45It's been nice talking to you, Judy.
41:47You'll give me some food for thought.
41:49Hi.
41:55What are you still doing here?
41:56I like the place so much I can't bear to go home.
41:59No, you should move in.
42:00Ladies only, I believe.
42:01The women wouldn't mind.
42:03I'm not so sure after today.
42:05What do you mean?
42:06I just feel that they don't trust me.
42:08These women don't have normal feelings.
42:10You're going to have to get used to that.
42:12I suppose so.
42:13Why are you still here?
42:16I'm on a double shift.
42:18How long's that?
42:1916 hours.
42:21Do you do them often?
42:22At least once a week.
42:24We're badly understaffed.
42:26Makes me feel guilty about the few hours that I work here.
42:28Yes, some people are better off than others.
42:31Are you teaching tonight?
42:33No.
42:35I'm rather unhappy about the state of the library.
42:37It's so dull and drab that I thought I'd spend tonight
42:38trying to brighten it up a bit.
42:39Well, I could detail some of the women to help you if you like.
42:42They've got nothing better to do.
42:43No, no, don't do that.
42:44I wouldn't want them to think they're being forced into anything.
42:47Of course, if some of them volunteer, I'd be happy to see them.
42:49Well, I'll see what I can do.
42:52Thanks, Vera.
42:57Hey, you know that money you gave us?
42:59Yeah.
42:59We didn't spend all of it.
43:00What did you do with it?
43:01I gave it to Helen.
43:02She's going to open a bank account in your name.
43:04There's $800 there.
43:05Oh, beauty, dude.
43:06That means I'm not broke.
43:07Because you know Mouse's money disappeared when the cops got out.
43:10Well, honey, I promise you that I will pay you back the rest as soon as I can.
43:13Don't worry about it.
43:14Hey, you two.
43:15Will you keep it down?
43:16In a morning raid on an inner-city massage parlour, police surprised Bryant and an accomplice,
43:23Jock Stewart.
43:24Stewart has since been charged with harbouring and aiding an escapee, living off immoral learnings
43:29and assaulting a police officer.
43:31Mail was refused.
43:32Oh, I'm ready again.
43:34Oh, my goodness.
43:35Bit of him in the slouch.
43:36Yeah.
43:36What's going on, dude?
43:37Have you heard the good news?
43:39Justice has finally reached Jock Stewart.
43:41Mr. Andrews is doing some work in the library, if any of you wish to help.
43:46I will, Miss Bennett.
43:48Look at Miss Goody Two-Shoes.
43:49That's enough, Smith.
43:50Anyone else?
43:53Come on, Burns.
43:57Oh, dear.
43:59It's as though she's hit the jackpot, eh?
44:01Don't worry.
44:01That won't last long.
44:02Come on.
44:04Tell us how you set Jock Stewart up.
44:06Oh, what, again?
44:07Oh, I love to hear all about it.
44:09Well, maybe I ought to write a book, huh?
44:10How I caught Jock Stewart.
44:12I reckon you'd make a fortune.
44:14Really?
44:15I don't think anybody'd buy it.
44:20Ah, reinforcements.
44:21Burns was the only volunteer.
44:23Well, it's the quality that counts, not the quantity.
44:25She'll have to stay here until the nine o'clock bell.
44:27Shall I bring her back myself?
44:28No, an officer will come and get her.
44:30Thank you, Miss Bennett.
44:31Are you sure you don't need any more?
44:33No, Doreen will be fine.
44:34We'll get a lot done.
44:35Yeah, I'll work real hard, Miss Bennett.
44:36Why don't you take those pamphlets and spread them out on the table?
44:40Can't I help you?
44:42What, with the poster?
44:43Yeah.
44:44All right, I'll hold the poster and you can do the pins.
44:46Oh, thanks.
44:47This is much better than being in the rec room.
44:56Some of these books are in dreadful condition.
44:58Look at this old Shakespeare.
44:59We did some Shakespeare with Ken Pierce.
45:01Do you like Shakespeare?
45:02Oh, yeah.
45:03Lord, Lord, methought what pain it was to drown.
45:08What dreadful noise of water in mine ears.
45:11What nights of ugly death within mine eyes.
45:14Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks.
45:17A thousand men that fishes gnawed upon.
45:20Isn't that wonderful stuff?
45:21Yeah.
45:22Wedges of gold.
45:23Great anchors.
45:24Heaps of pearl.
45:26Unestimable stones.
45:28Unvalued jewels.
45:29He used to give me roses
45:35I wish he could again
45:40But that was on the outside
45:46And things were different then
45:51On the inside
45:52On the inside
45:53The sun still shines
45:56And the rain falls down
46:01But the sun and rain are Christmas too
46:05When morning comes around
46:10Last night
46:12Last night I dreamed we were together
46:16Sharing all the love we'd known
46:21Till I had to face the nightmare
46:26Of waking up alone
46:31On the inside
46:32On the inside
46:33The sun and rain are Christmas too
46:37They don't mind the stony ground
46:42But the roses here are Christmas too
46:47When morning comes around
46:51Amen.
