00:00Well, how about a few official words?
00:02Well, I can't be official. I don't work here anymore, remember?
00:04Well, how about a farewell speech, then?
00:06Oh, no.
00:07I think it's an excellent idea.
00:08Oh, come on, James, a parting shot.
00:11Well, the department didn't give me much time to prepare a speech,
00:14so I haven't got a great deal to say.
00:17I can't pretend that it's always been fun,
00:21but I know that when I walk through those gates tonight
00:24that I'll be leaving most of the friends that I've got behind,
00:28and I'd like to thank you all for all the support that you've given me,
00:32both in good times and in bad,
00:34and I'd just like to, well, wish you all you deserve for the future.
00:38Hell, Jim, you could have wished us luck.
00:40Oh, you look bloody awful.
00:44What happened?
00:44Well, well, well.
00:46Fletcher's little pet of the month.
00:48We heard you'd been locked up. What have you been up to?
00:50You really want to know?
00:52If someone has a private meeting with a deputy governor,
00:54yeah, I want to know what's it all about.
00:58I had a visitor today.
00:59So, who was it?
01:01Jack Fitzwater.
01:04What did Jack have to say for himself?
01:07Nothing much.
01:09Just your little drug rackets finished.
01:12You little bitch. What did you say to him?
01:15Nothing much.
01:18Just killed him.
01:18You are kidding, aren't you?
01:35What do you think?
01:36God, this place is going bonkers.
01:39You bloody idiot.
01:40You really stuffed things up this time.
01:43You scare me to death, Winter.
01:45Are you sure he's dead?
01:46He's got a bloody great knife sticking out of him.
01:48What do you want, a written guarantee?
01:49I'll take your word for it.
01:52G'day.
01:53Pleased to see me?
01:54Well, well, look where the cap dragged in.
01:56Just got moved out of A Block.
01:58Thought you might like a hand.
02:00You know?
02:01Peddling your wares.
02:02Forget it.
02:03She just stuffed up the supply route.
02:06What are you going to do about it?
02:07Don't know.
02:07Have to have a think.
02:08She's really buggered things up, eh?
02:10Oh, let her go.
02:11She'll keep.
02:12I've got things sewn up real sweet in here.
02:14If she thinks she's going to stub it up for me,
02:15she's got another thing coming.
02:18Sandy, don't you think you ought to sit down and...
02:19Cut the bedside manner, Doc.
02:20It doesn't impress me.
02:22I haven't cracked up, if that's what you think.
02:24I knew what I was doing.
02:26He got exactly what he deserved.
02:30Now, do the same to anybody else who asks for it.
02:34So, hopefully, we should have the machine in store by tomorrow morning.
02:37Well, it will certainly give the women a new interest,
02:39if ever they learn to work it.
02:41Oh, don't worry about that.
02:42That's why Mr Marnie's here,
02:44to install the machine and instruct the women.
02:46Good.
02:47I can't help but be a little surprised.
02:49I mean, the department's not usually prone to making magnanimous gestures.
02:54Well, we mustn't look a gift horse in the map.
02:56I'm a little worried about the available space in the workshop.
02:59It's pretty cluttered down there.
03:00Well, if we move some of the cupboards to one side,
03:02I'm sure there'll be enough room.
03:03All right, then.
03:04I'll see if we can do it today.
03:05Oh, I think tomorrow morning will be soon enough.
03:07Could you organise a work party amongst the women?
03:09Well, the sooner we get them interested,
03:11the more enthusiastic they're likely to be.
03:12Yes, I will.
03:13Yes, if we get them really involved,
03:15at least it'll stop them tearing at each other's throats.
03:19You mean Fletcher's backing you?
03:21That's what he says.
03:23Came in on the whole thing.
03:24I told him it was self-defence, not expecting him to bite.
03:27But apparently he had his own axe to grind with Fitzwater over some day.
03:30Yeah, Terry Harrison.
03:33Well, well, well.
03:34Nothing better than having a screw for an alibi.
03:37You were very lucky.
03:39Luck had nothing to do with it.
03:42What about the knife?
03:44He used to come to get that.
03:46Fitzwater brought it in himself.
03:48Why would he do that?
03:49I told him I wanted it in a hurry for a friend.
03:52For someone in here, you mean?
03:53Come on, Bea, you've been back long enough to know what's going on.
03:57Someone in here's been spilling their guts to the screws every chance they get.
04:00Yep.
04:01Too many things have been going wrong for it to be a coincidence.
04:04Do you mean one of us in here's been lagging on their mates?
04:07Does that surprise you?
04:09I'll tell you something.
04:10When I get hold of her, I'm going to shut her trap for a moment.
04:14Oh, well, if it ain't all this snitch bitch in person.
04:17I reckon lag bags are better known for it these days.
04:20How come you're not with your mates, the screws?
04:22Maybe they can't stomach her either.
04:25Come on, Bea, can't you stop it?
04:26Nobody talks to me these days and except to call me names.
04:29What did you expect?
04:30Come on, love.
04:31I'll get tired of it eventually.
04:33Sure.
04:34I'll start talking to you when they want the screws to know something.
04:36Get yourself something to eat, love.
04:38It'll make you feel better.
04:39No, thanks.
04:40I'm not very hungry.
04:41I'll see you later.
04:43Ease up on her.
04:44She's had enough.
04:45Since when did you defend lagging?
04:46I'm not defending it.
04:47It stinks.
04:49But that's in the past.
04:50She won't do it again.
04:50Maybe not.
04:53Anyway, it's not who I'm looking for.
04:55The one I want's the cold-hearted bitches feathering her own nest.
05:01Winter, right?
05:03You'll find out soon enough.
05:05But until I know for certain, it's going to be a little secret between me and the matter.
05:08Now, are you sure you're all right?
05:30There's no point in overdoing things, you know.
05:32Oh, I'm fine today, Mrs. Morrison.
05:34I think Sister Franklin's head of the sides all healed up.
05:37I just have to get the stitches out today.
05:39Sides, have a look at the garden.
05:40It's really gone to the dogs, eh?
05:42I'll leave you to it then.
05:44I'll leave you to it then.
06:08Here you are.
06:13Here, pups.
06:15What do I need to bring to you?
06:16I've brought for you.
06:18Yeah.
06:19It's breakfast.
06:21Here you are.
06:24Oh, where are your manners?
06:26Sit.
06:28Sit.
06:32Good boys.
06:38Oh, yes, you're beautiful, doggies, you are.
06:48You are, Amber.
06:50You know I'm going to bring you something real special every day.
07:01Oh, go back.
07:02Go back quick before Powell gets wind of us.
07:08Let's roll.
07:09Go back.
07:10Go.
07:10Go back.
07:14Go.
07:30Go.
07:31Yeah.
07:32Go.
07:34Go.
07:34Go.
07:34Go.
07:35Go.
07:35Go.
07:35Go.
07:36Go.
07:36Go.
07:36Go.
07:36Go.
07:37Go.
07:37Hello, one slightly used printing press and instructor reporting for duty.
07:55I'm Mrs. Powell, chief officer here.
07:58Ian Money.
08:01The department sent me along to lend a hand until the women get the hang of things.
08:05Good luck.
08:07Personally, I feel it's a waste of time.
08:09Oh?
08:11Seems like a pretty worthwhile project to me.
08:14You say so.
08:16My bet is the women will have destroyed it in next to no time.
08:20Anyhow, I'll let them know you're here.
08:21There'll be a work party to help with the installation.
08:23Excuse me.
08:27I'm going to need a hand with this, mate.
08:29I've just been badly frostbitten.
08:36Want a fag, love?
08:37No, I guess I've got one.
08:39Well, keeping my spot warm for me, are you?
08:42Nice of you.
08:43But I'm here now so you can shove off.
08:45Is that a fact?
08:46And who's backing you?
08:47I don't need anyone to back me.
08:50What about you?
08:51Oh, I don't need them, but they're there just in case.
08:53Isn't that right, girls?
08:54Hmm.
08:59A bit tongue-tied, aren't they?
09:01Hey, Margot, I reckon she needs a bit of convincing.
09:05You can give us a hand sorting if you want to change, Murray.
09:08Well, I reckon I know what's on the menu for lunch today.
09:11There's a chicken around here to feed the whole of Wentworth.
09:16Are you going to move or am I going to make you?
09:19Well, you can try.
09:19Ladies, who's got lots of energy?
09:22We need some volunteers for the workshop.
09:24The printing press has arrived, and we need some help with installation.
09:27I suppose there's no point in asking if I can go.
09:29That's right, Smith, you're still on light duties.
09:32Who'd like a change of scenery?
09:34Why not?
09:35There's nothing around here that won't keep.
09:36Anyone else?
09:37Yeah.
09:38Um, I wouldn't mind going Mrs Morris, if nothing else will break the monotony.
09:42I could come to.
09:43I've never seen a printing press before.
09:45Oh, Lizzie, I think the work would be too heavy for you.
09:47Oh, yeah, but they'll need somebody to supervise, won't they?
09:51Well, I suppose so.
09:53Right, the rest of you go back to work.
10:01Like I said, it was nice of Murray to look after the press for me.
10:04I thought you'd be gone by now.
10:17Yeah, I'm just a bit worried.
10:19These blokes have gone off their tucker.
10:22Well, I wouldn't say that.
10:23They haven't left much.
10:24That's not the point.
10:26Usually they're looking for more.
10:28This is the second time it's happened.
10:29Oh, they look healthy enough to me.
10:31Yeah, but loss of appetite in an animal was a sure sign that something's wrong.
10:35I think it might be a good idea if we had a vet check them over.
10:39Oh, well, let's hope it's nothing serious.
10:41Who normally looks after them?
10:42Dr Braithwaite.
10:44I left his number with your receptionist.
10:47It's got me stumped.
10:48They never knock back their food.
10:53Oh, this is it, ladies.
10:55Well, the cavalry arrives just in the nick of time, eh?
10:58Well, I don't know what sort of help we'll be, but at least we can get things in some
11:02kind of order.
11:03Oh, being surrounded by beautiful women is all the help I need.
11:07Oh, he fancies himself a bit, doesn't he?
11:10Winter and Peterson, move that bench back against the wall, will you?
11:13Now, the rest of you stack everything in these boxes and then either put them in the cupboards
11:17or stack them neatly up there in piles, all right?
11:20By the way, I'm Ian Marnie.
11:22Meg Morris.
11:23Meg?
11:24That's a lovely old-fashioned name.
11:25Lizzie, what on earth do you think you're doing?
11:30Well, you told us to shift everything, Mrs M.
11:33You try carrying that, you'll end up getting carried out of here yourself.
11:36It's enough, Winter.
11:37You get back to your own work.
11:38I bet you're smart, maybe you carry.
11:41Oh, yeah.
11:42God.
11:43Being old's a pain in the bloody bum.
11:46Look.
11:47Why don't you go and get Mr Marnie a nice cup of tea?
11:50I'm sure you'll do.
11:51Right, Anne.
11:52Oh, Lizzie.
11:52Yeah?
11:53Would you mind getting one for Mrs Morris as well?
11:55I hate to drink alone.
11:59I'd like two copies of each of these by lunchtime if possible, Julie.
12:02Mrs Davidson, I'm afraid we've got a problem with the guard dogs.
12:05Oh, what is it?
12:06Don't really know.
12:08Seem healthy enough to me, but apparently they're off their food.
12:10The handler thinks we should call in a bit.
12:12Oh, of course.
12:13We'll do so at once.
12:14I hope nobody's thrown a bait over the fence.
12:17No, that's not likely.
12:19Even then, I doubt whether they'd touch it.
12:20Peter said they've been trained to take food only from him.
12:23Well, let's hope it's just a minor problem.
12:26Damn dogs.
12:26More trouble than they're worth.
12:28You'll see to it, won't you?
12:32Get me Dr Breithwaite's number, will you?
12:34Okay.
12:35So you must make sure that the letters are set up in the rack back to front.
12:39Okay?
12:39Back to front before you load the press and start printing.
12:41All you need for this job is patience in setting it up and a keen eye for detail.
12:50I reckon he's got a keen eye for detail.
12:53Female detail.
12:55Now, that's enough, Lizzie.
12:56Pay attention.
12:58Uh, yes.
12:59Now, look, it's not difficult to master, but if you do really want to start printing soon,
13:02you're going to have to concentrate.
13:04I reckon we should all concentrate.
13:06We're going to have to work out what we're going to do to Edwards before we get back to the laundry.
13:13Maybe a little accident to her face in the steam press might pull her in a line.
13:17We?
13:18Don't include me.
13:19I don't want to end up on the other end of a knife like Fitzwater.
13:22I'd rather not get involved.
13:24Oh, you'd rather not get involved.
13:26You know, you really take the cake.
13:28Do you know that?
13:29I don't see why.
13:31Well, I'd better refresh your memory.
13:32It was your idea to send that note to Fitzwater and sign it from Edwards.
13:36That's why her old man copped it, and that's why she killed Fitzwater.
13:40So that's two murders you've had a hand in.
13:42You still reckon you're not involved?
13:44Yes, but I'm...
13:44No buts, lady.
13:46You play your cards right, and I can be a good mate to you.
13:49The best you'll have in this dump.
13:51But with what I've got on you, I can be your worst enemy.
13:53Apart from Edwards, that is.
13:55So you'd better make up your mind real quick which one of us you'd rather face.
13:58Yes, I'm going to get in touch with McNally's mob and get the dope flowing again.
14:17What makes you think they'll want to deal with us after what happened to Fitzwater?
14:20Because there's money in it for them, that's why.
14:23Besides, we've got access to Edwards, and they're going to want her pretty badly.
14:27Do we have to get mixed up with Edwards?
14:29I mean, she could stick any one of us, and what's she got to lose?
14:32What's one murder, more or less, to her?
14:34Look, don't get your knickers in a twist.
14:35I'll take care of Edwards.
14:37Once I get the dope flowing, I've got a mate as top dog, she won't be able to touch me.
14:41Yeah, everyone will back you if you keep supplying them with happy pills.
14:44Well, don't underestimate, Sandy.
14:46She's unpredictable and really very dangerous.
14:48Look, stop worrying, will you?
14:49I told you, I got her number.
14:51She's right about one thing, though.
14:53Bloody laggers are the scum of the earth.
14:56And that goes for here or anywhere else, no matter who's top dog.
14:58You're talking about Burns.
14:59Yeah, that two-faced little bitch needs to be taught a lesson she won't forget, Nari.
15:03What will you do?
15:04Oh, I've got a little plan, a little worry, a couple of pounds off her.
15:07Yeah, but is it going to stick me back in solitary again?
15:10It's going to look like harmless fun, but it's going to hit little Miss Goody two-shoes right where it hurts.
15:15Now, here's how we're going to work it.
15:17Well, there's no temperature, no distension of the stomach, no sign of enteritis.
15:23Quite frankly, they seem perfectly healthy to me.
15:25Well, that's a relief.
15:27How do we make the meat?
15:28Try giving them two of these each morning.
15:31And don't worry, they'll eat when they're hungry.
15:32From their attitude, that could be any time now.
15:36German shepherds are not vicious dogs, Mrs. Powell, not by nature.
15:40They're used for this sort of work because they're highly intelligent without being neurotic.
15:44They don't enjoy hurting people.
15:46They leave that sort of thing to humans.
15:48Possibly.
15:50Still, I wouldn't trust them.
15:51You must admit they've been behaving strangely lately.
15:54If you ask me, it's because they're lonely.
15:56They need a bit of love and attention.
15:58Well, nobody did ask you, Burns, so mind your own damn business.
16:03Go on, you heard.
16:04Get inside.
16:05Yes, Mrs. Powell.
16:13Uh, could she be right?
16:16You know, about them not getting enough attention?
16:19Another chance.
16:20When these dogs start police training, they're taught the discipline of isolation.
16:29They aren't used to being mollycoddled, even though these two are rejects.
16:33They wouldn't have forgotten that initial discipline, believe me.
16:35What do you mean, rejects?
16:39Oh, look, it just means they're unsuitable for police work.
16:41Why?
16:42Well, we don't know exactly.
16:46It's because they're too savage, isn't it?
16:49Oh, look, a dog can be rejected for any number of reasons.
16:51Doesn't necessarily mean he's vicious.
16:57Oh, my God.
17:00What's up?
17:05Birdsworth seems very chirpy.
17:16I wonder what she's been up to.
17:18Oh, she's been letting her imagination run right.
17:20It's been one of those mornings.
17:22G'day, Bea.
17:24You missed out on a real good morning.
17:26Well, I hope it's more exciting this lunch.
17:28I certainly worked out what that's supposed to be.
17:30And was this bloke Marnie's come in to set everything up?
17:34Oh, a real dreamboat he is.
17:36Should have seen the way he looked at Mrs. M.
17:38He fell for her like a ton of bricks.
17:40Oh, go on, you're making it up.
17:42No, it's true.
17:43He really fancies her.
17:45Don't think she seems too happy about it, though.
17:48Well, what do you know?
17:49This place is full of surprises,
17:51just when you think you've heard everything.
17:54Janet, would you mind swapping duties with me this afternoon?
17:57All right.
17:58Well, is there a problem in the workshop?
17:59No, not really.
18:01It's just that I don't want to do it, that's all.
18:03All right.
18:08G'day, door.
18:09Go and get yourself some grub and join us.
18:12I've got so much to tell you.
18:13I don't think I'm very good company today, Lizzie.
18:16Besides, I think I've changed my mind.
18:17I just want to be on my own for a bit.
18:19You don't mind, do you?
18:20No, go ahead, love.
18:23Oh, well.
18:27I wonder what madam's up to.
18:29I don't know, but we're going to have to watch that one.
18:32Hello.
18:33Do you mind if I sit down?
18:35It's a free country.
18:38Just thought you could deal with some company.
18:41That's your professional opinion, doctor.
18:43You're way out of line.
18:44Look, Sally, I know you've been through hell these last few weeks,
18:47but I just want to help.
18:47I am your friend, after all.
18:49Really?
18:50Of course.
18:51Losing a husband and now the Fitzwater business?
18:54Well, I'm worried about you.
18:56I don't seem to be able to get through to you, do I?
18:59I don't want to talk about it, not to you or to anyone.
19:03Okay, Arthur's death was a shock,
19:06but putting that pig Fitzwater in his grave
19:08has made me feel a whole lot better about it.
19:10I'm going to see who else was involved in it, too,
19:12and if I can see the whole lot of them dead,
19:14I'm going to feel just fine.
19:15Oh, no!
19:25What's up?
19:26Oh, somebody's nicked Teddy.
19:28Oh, no.
19:30Who'd do a thing like that?
19:32I don't know,
19:33but somebody's trying to get back at me for lag
19:34and they're never going to let me forget it.
19:36I've had this bloody place!
19:37Okay, now don't start bawling.
19:38We'll get it back for you.
19:40I wouldn't mind so much,
19:41but Lizzie gave it to me
19:42and it meant a real lot to me.
19:43I know, love.
19:44There's no point in getting upset about it.
19:47It's just the start of things.
19:49They're going to have a go at me every chance they get.
19:51Well, not if I can help it.
19:52I'll find out who took it
19:53and make bloody sure they bring it back.
19:55No, Bea.
19:56I don't want you to.
19:57I want you to stay right out of it.
19:59But, door, Bea and me are mates
20:00and we can't just stand by
20:02and let someone go around upsetting you
20:03without doing something about it.
20:05Yeah, well, you're going to have to this time.
20:06I figured it was only a matter of time
20:08before they'd have another go at me.
20:09There's too much trouble in here right now
20:13without me adding to it.
20:14Just leave it alone, Bea.
20:16Nothing doing.
20:24I've been looking for you.
20:27Yes, what is it?
20:28I need to see Inspector Grace.
20:29It's urgent.
20:29No, I'm sorry.
20:30It's out of the question at the moment.
20:31But I'm in danger.
20:32I have to see him before it's too late.
20:34Danger?
20:35From one of the women?
20:37Yes, but I can't tell you who.
20:39Can't or won't.
20:40What's the difference?
20:40Do I get to see Inspector Grace or not?
20:42Not unless you give me an adequate reason, no.
20:45Is my death an adequate enough reason?
20:50Someone's on to you.
20:52Okay.
20:54Leave it with me.
21:04All right, ladies.
21:05You know what you have to do.
21:06So let's see if you can get some work done
21:07before the exercise break.
21:08And then you're leaving the service.
21:14It must be Mr. Marnie.
21:15I'm Janet Conway.
21:16Oh, where's Meg?
21:17Or Mrs. Morris?
21:18Oh, we swap shifts for the afternoon, ma'am.
21:21Oh, nothing?
21:22Well, I'd better get back to her.
21:26If you're serious about getting the drug play started again,
21:29I think I can help.
21:31Oh, yeah?
21:32How?
21:33I can get a letter to the mob.
21:35My mother's coming to visit me soon.
21:38Give me the letter.
21:38I'll see if she delivers it.
21:41And what's in it for you?
21:42What do you mean?
21:43Don't play dumb with me.
21:45What do you get out of it?
21:47Okay.
21:49I need your protection.
21:52Against Edwards?
21:53She's got some sort of bee in her bonnet that I'm the lagger.
21:57No telling what she might do.
21:59I'm convinced she's quite mad.
22:00Well, she might be mad, but she ain't stupid.
22:04Okay, fair enough.
22:05You get that letter out and I'll back you up if you need any help.
22:07Hey, Mary, want to play catch?
22:33Oh, now what little baby could have dropped her toy?
22:37Give it back, you little bitch.
22:39No, I'll give it back.
22:41Give it back, Winter.
22:44I'll make you.
22:45Get out of here.
22:47All you big bully.
22:55Now, all right, all right.
22:56That's enough, all of you.
22:58Now, move away.
23:07Leave it, fellas.
23:09Leave it.
23:11Heel.
23:12Stay.
23:14Heel.
23:20Go.
23:25You all right, Dory?
23:26Oh, yeah.
23:27I'm sorry, Mrs. Morris.
23:28Just trying to get my teddy back.
23:30He doesn't seem to be badly damaged.
23:32You were lucky the dog's lost interest so quickly.
23:35Yeah, I reckon.
23:35Need a hand?
23:54Oh, no, it's OK.
23:55I'm pretty handy with a needle.
23:57Yeah, you're pretty handy with a lot of things I didn't know anything about.
24:01What do you mean?
24:02The way you called those dogs off.
24:03And they obeyed you.
24:05Oh, yeah, that was strange, wasn't it?
24:06Come on, Doreen.
24:08This is me, remember?
24:10Yeah.
24:12OK, I did call the dogs off.
24:15But the screws didn't see it, did they?
24:18Don't think so.
24:19But how did you get them to obey you?
24:20Those dogs are put there because they're supposed to be vicious.
24:23No, the screws are crazy for being scared of those dogs.
24:25They're real friendly, honestly.
24:27I've been feeding them and everything, and they come to me every time I call them.
24:30But how did you get them to obey you?
24:32Well, I went to the library, got this book out called How to Train Your Dog.
24:36Yeah, and all you have to do is be firm but kind and let them know who's boss.
24:40Oh, I don't believe this.
24:41Well, I've had real fun doing it, Bea, and I don't care what the women think of me now
24:44because those dogs are me mates.
24:46God, you're full of surprises, aren't you?
24:48Yeah, but don't let anyone else know in case the screws find out.
24:51What, not even Lizzie?
24:52No.
24:53Nobody, Bea.
24:53Just you and I, OK?
24:55OK.
24:56Don't worry, love.
24:57It'll be our little secret.
25:01There you go.
25:02Hello.
25:03Hello, Mum.
25:03Jude, how are you?
25:04Just in time for a cup of tea.
25:05Oh, that sounds great, love.
25:06I'm bushed.
25:07Would you mind pouring it for me?
25:08I won't be in there.
25:08Why not?
25:12She seems a lot happier today, love.
25:13She certainly does.
25:16Here we go, Mum.
25:17Thanks, honey.
25:18How was your day?
25:19It was great.
25:20I think I'm getting back into the swing of things.
25:22Good.
25:22Although I must admit, my bum's a bit sore from sitting on it all day.
25:25I think I'll have to get one of those rubber cushions, you know?
25:28Whoopee.
25:29Getting old, I guess.
25:30And what'd you two do all day?
25:32Oh, not a lot.
25:33Oh, yeah.
25:34No, we sat around watching a bit of TV.
25:36Listen, this is your honeymoon.
25:37You're supposed to be out there enjoying yourselves.
25:39Well, we were a bit worried about you.
25:42You know I love you very much.
25:44I've really enjoyed having you here.
25:46But is there some law or something that says you have to drag an old bat like me around with you everywhere?
25:50Hey, we've enjoyed being with you.
25:52And I've enjoyed being with you.
25:54But surely there's some place you'd like to be on your own.
25:57I mean, didn't you say something about going down to Archer's farm for a while?
26:01Well, we just didn't think it'd be a good idea to leave you so soon.
26:04Well, that settles it, then.
26:05I want you to get on that phone right this minute, ring Archer, and tell him you're on your way.
26:13Ah, Peterson.
26:15That's the person I'm looking for.
26:16Oh?
26:17You have to report to Sister Franklin in the examination room straight away.
26:19Oh, at last I'll be able to get away from that terrible printing press.
26:22Is someone sick?
26:23Well, Burns has to have some stitches out, but I think the sister wants a hand with a dispensary stock take.
26:28Well, if there's one thing I was always good at, it was accurate stock takings.
26:31Shall I go now?
26:32Yes, she's waiting for you.
26:33And take Burns with you and save me a trip.
26:35Right.
26:35There you are.
26:45Good as new.
26:48Oh, Doreen, Mr Faulkner wants us both to go to the infirmary.
26:51Apparently you ought to have your stitches out of your side.
26:53Oh, yeah, I know you forgot.
26:55I was busy sewing.
26:57You've done a good job on him.
26:59Looks just like his old self.
27:00Yeah, I was lucky he didn't get ripped up too bad.
27:03Oh, I wouldn't call it lucky.
27:05If you hadn't called the dogs off straight away, probably wouldn't have been too much of him left.
27:10I think you were very clever the way you handled it.
27:15Now, hang on.
27:16What does she know and who's she going to tell?
27:18Kate Peterson, she knows about me and the dogs.
27:20She must have been listening when we were talking about it.
27:23Oh, was she now?
27:25Well, I'd have to have a few words with her about that.
27:27That's a very nasty little habit.
27:29One of these days, she might just hear something she'll wish she hadn't.
27:33But what if she tells somebody?
27:35The screws, you mean?
27:36Yeah.
27:37Yeah, that could be a bit of a problem.
27:39I don't know exactly how far she would go.
27:42Mind you, she's pretty friendly with power at the moment.
27:45Never mind.
27:46I'll sort her out.
27:50Oh, I'm pretty tired now, Bea.
27:52I'll probably see you tomorrow, eh?
27:53Okay, love.
27:54Sleep tight.
27:55Yeah.
27:55Good night.
27:56Night.
27:57Oh, God, what a day.
27:59Am I glad that's over.
28:01Looking pretty frayed around the edges yourself.
28:04Yes, I suppose I am.
28:06Never mind.
28:07Good night.
28:08Sleep will fix you up.
28:10And then you'll feel just fine.
28:12Good night.
28:26jясerta
28:42See how easy it is to creep up on someone when they're asleep.
29:00They were lying here night after night wondering if I'm going to come and get you, dear.
29:06Good.
29:08I could have cut your throat if we'd even woken up.
29:13Now you'd better do as you're told.
29:16And keep your mouth shut about Dorian and the dogs.
29:20Otherwise, I'll make sure you never get a decent night's sleep again.
29:27Now am I getting through to you?
29:33Good.
29:42Yeah, well, it's going to be starting at a respectable hour for a change.
29:51That early morning luck was getting me down.
29:53Oh, well, you know what they say about the early bird, Mum?
29:56Yeah, I could want to work first thing in the morning.
29:58Anyway, darling, where's the address of yours again?
30:00Oh, it's about halfway down Effing Road.
30:03Listen, if you drop me down about halfway, I might do a bit of shopping first, okay?
30:07Okey-doke.
30:11In you get, ma'am.

38:00We can't let Uncle Archer down, can we?
38:02No, I suppose not.
38:04And we will have a good time.
38:06Yeah.
38:08Oh, excuse me, I should have not.
38:11Don't pay any attention to me, I'm just passing through.
38:14Mum, Geoff and I are going to Uncle Archer's tomorrow.
38:17Well, at least now maybe I'll get some peace and quiet, huh?
38:20Hey kids, were there any phone calls for me or anyone drop in today?
38:42Yeah, Miss Kavanagh.
38:44Kavanagh?
38:45Yeah, the stay agent bloke just had a look around you this day long.
38:48Why? Were you expecting someone, Mum?
38:49Oh, yeah, a friend of mine. She said she might drop in, that's all.
38:53Look, I've got to go out again for a little while. I won't be long.
38:56Mum, what about your tea?
38:57Don't wait, honey.
38:57You stay here, I'll be as quick as I can.
39:06Yeah, can I help you?
39:07Detective Sergeant Ross would like to see Mrs. Powell, please.
39:10I'm sorry she's not on today.
39:12Ah, wouldn't you know.
39:13You're...
39:13Officer Faulkner, Steve Faulkner.
39:15Nice to know you.
39:16Mrs. Powell's supposed to have arranged for me to meet Kate Peterson.
39:19Oh, you're the one. She said you'd be coming.
39:21Yeah, good. I figured that she'd clear you in what was happening.
39:23Look, needless to say, we don't want any of the other women to know what's going on.
39:27Sorry?
39:28Well, we've got to keep this undercover, or God only knows what they do to Peterson.
39:31Hey, look, you left me about a mile back.
39:33You said Powell had filled you in.
39:36I didn't say that, you did.
39:39Okay, look, Peterson's got this deal going with Inspector Grace.
39:42She's been passing information on to him without the other women suspecting.
39:46You mean about this Fitzwater business?
39:48Oh, that and a whole lot of other stuff. You'd be surprised.
39:50Fitzwater was only part of it.
39:52Well, do you think he was behind Edward's husband's death?
39:55It's possible. We're working on it.
39:58But we need a lot more information from inside.
40:00That's why we want to keep this Peterson deal going for as long as possible.
40:03But it has to stay a secret, understand?
40:05Don't worry about me, Sergeant. Discretion's my middle name.
40:08Just one more thing.
40:10Up till now, Peterson's been dealing with Inspector Grace.
40:12She's never met me.
40:14Now, I don't want to go into details, but it's important she doesn't know I'm a detective.
40:17Whatever you say, Mr. Ross.
40:19I don't want to go into details.
40:49Well, you're punctual.
41:15That's one thing in your favor, Brian.
41:17It was a bloody stupid thing to do leaving that note.
41:19What if my daughter had found it?
41:20She'd only think you'd meet the bloke in the park, that's all.
41:23What do you want? I've already told you I can't help you.
41:26Better not mean that, Brian.
41:28Otherwise, you're in real trouble.
41:30I want that money in 48 hours.
41:33Otherwise, your wee family's going to find out all the gruesome details of your sordid past.
41:37You can tell them anything you like.
41:39You see, I've already told them all about me, and they don't care.
41:42So I've got nothing to fear from you.
41:45You don't expect me to buy that, do you, Brian?
41:47You'll have to. It's the truth.
41:48Well, even if it is, it still doesn't change my plans.
41:52I want that money.
41:54And even if you have told them your wee secret, then I'll just have to think of some stronger method of persuasion.
41:59You can do anything you like to me.
42:01I don't care anymore.
42:02Oh, I believe that.
42:03I believe you don't care.
42:05But I think you might care about that wee girl of yours.
42:08I think you might care if she could sort of get a broken arm, or maybe her face was disfigured, wouldn't you?
42:14I ought to kill you.
42:16You tried that once already, Brian.
42:18You weren't very successful.
42:19Now, I don't think a kiln's exactly in your line.
42:23Don't you bet on it?
42:24Oh, I haven't.
42:25That's why I've taken out that extra insurance policy.
42:28See, if anything at all happens to me, there's a letter that goes right away to that son-in-law of yours and his uncle.
42:34I want a copy to the police force, too.
42:37It doesn't exactly spell out your name in letters 50 foot high, but it wouldn't take them five minutes to put it all together.
42:42You're bluffing.
42:44Maybe I am.
42:46But then again,
42:47Can you take the gamble?
42:5248 hours, Brian.
42:54Then I'm coming looking for that wee girl of yours.
42:58Brian, 48 hours.
43:00Oh, my God.
43:17Oh, my God.
43:21Oh, my God.
43:22and mrs peterson i'm sorry i i was expecting someone else sorry to disappoint you i'm ernie
43:36ross ross why have we been left alone orders from your inspector grace i suppose you're from the
43:43police god no do me a favor no no no uh i owe grace one and he's not the kind of guy to let
43:51anyone off the hook i'm your witness well that is good news beginning to think grace was just
43:59stringing me along no no he hasn't been so keen on the deal lately he figures fitzwater's death's
44:05liable to take the edge off things and you're not going to be much used to him oh does he now
44:09well at least you're here what's the story going to be well grace figures we should stick to as much
44:16of the truth as possible so when they check us out they don't find any loopholes that makes sense
44:20right well i've got the boulevard motel up the central coast what i figured was i'd fix the
44:25register to show that you and your boyfriend and the kid came to stay for a while and then i'll tell
44:30them that i uh heard shouting and screaming coming from your unit and saw you and the little boy all
44:34cut up and bruised if that doesn't paint a good picture i don't know what will i like it
44:39thank you of course i'll uh make it worth your while uh yeah i wanted to talk to you about the
44:47money uh grace says it's worth two and a half and that doesn't seem like much for committing perjury
44:53fair enough suppose we say five half up front ah could be a little difficult i don't exactly have
44:59a mattress stuff with money in here you know yeah i realize that but you must have some way of getting
45:02funds when you need them all right i suppose i have any choice go and see my mother and ask her
