00:00Good morning.
00:05Morning.
00:08You'll never make it to my business, Mr. Petra.
00:12Why don't you get one of the girls to do that?
00:14Well, as a matter of fact, it's not entirely Wentworth business.
00:18It's private, you mean?
00:19Well, semi-private. I'm applying for a job.
00:21They're not leaving us.
00:22I mightn't get the job.
00:24Oh, well, it's not outside the prison service.
00:28No, as a matter of fact, I'm applying for the governorship of Barnhurst.
00:31Okay, why? You know the rules of the barb, don't you?
00:34I know it's my only chance to get new cigarettes.
00:36Right, then. That's it, ladies.
00:37Now, don't forget to fill out your forms before you go back to work.
00:46Oh, fill that in.
00:47After all, we might not like the same brand of fags.
00:52Come in, dear.
00:53What are you talking about?
00:54You must be, um, Kevin Burns.
00:57Yes, that's right.
00:58Yes, well, sit down.
01:00I, um, I, I...
01:01Sorry to drag you away from work, but I couldn't speak to you on the telephone.
01:04Yeah, well, look, is Doreen okay? She hasn't been injured or anything.
01:06No, no, no, she's not injured.
01:07Well, she's not sick.
01:09Sit down, have a nice cup of tea.
01:10No, look, I'm sorry, I didn't come here for a cup of tea.
01:12I came here because you said it was about Doreen, and it was urgent.
01:15Well, it is urgent.
01:16I want you to give your wife a good talking to.
01:18Do you know the silly girl wants to have an abortion?
01:24It seems I've dropped quite a bombshell.
01:38Too right.
01:40I mean, I had no idea Doreen was pregnant.
01:42I didn't think, you know, like, well, I mean, we only, you know, once.
01:47I can see you're very fond of your wife, young man, and you'll love the baby just as much when it comes.
01:53It would be a crime for Doreen to have an abortion.
01:56Oh, she won't, you know, there's no way we're going to get rid of it.
01:58That's her spirit.
01:59And I want you to make your feelings clear to your wife, young man.
02:02Oh, well, I mean, she only said that because I said I didn't want to have a family just yet.
02:06Look, do you think I could see her now?
02:08Of course.
02:09If you wait in the garden, I'll send her out directly.
02:13Can't wait to see her.
02:14Oh, jeez, a baby, eh?
02:18I can't believe it.
02:26Slow down, will you, Brabham?
02:27I've got to keep fit now that I know Jay's is going to be all right.
02:31You know what I'm going to do when I get out of here?
02:33Hit the bottle.
02:34Good.
02:35No.
02:36I'm going to buy Josie a bike so she can ride to school.
02:39I bet she's never done that before.
02:40Poor little pet, not with a gummy leg.
02:42Oh, her and me, we're going to do all sorts of things when I get out of here.
02:46What?
02:46You two are going to go bike riding together?
02:48Hey, they don't ride Penny Fowlings anymore, you know.
02:50Oh, God, I hope not.
02:53But she'll look sweet as she works her beat on a bicycle bill for two.
03:02Jeez, I wish something good had happened to me for a change.
03:04Don't worry, love.
03:05As soon as you've had that abortion, everything will change.
03:07Yeah, but I mightn't get it.
03:08Not the way Agnes feels about it.
03:10It's got nothing to do with her.
03:11She can't stop you.
03:12Yeah, but you mightn't do anything about it until it's too late.
03:14Listen, that old bag hasn't organised something by tomorrow.
03:16You go straight to the Governor.
03:18Maybe I ought to tell Kevin.
03:20Look, love, we've been through this before.
03:22Okay, he might stand by you, but you can't bank on it.
03:25It's best if you look after this yourself.
03:27Yeah, I suppose so.
03:28And for God's sake, stop looking like it's the end of the world, will you?
03:32Doreen, you've got a visitor.
03:34Well, who is it, Mrs Jackson?
03:36Your husband.
03:38Well, what's wrong?
03:38Well, I had a visit from him yesterday.
03:41Well, that's all right.
03:41Miss Forster arranged it.
03:42Ah, she got off her bum at last.
03:44Don't tell me Forster did something useful for a change.
03:48That's enough, Smith.
03:49Come along, Doreen.
03:50Go on, love.
03:51You stick to our plan.
03:53Nothing can go wrong.
03:54All right, Butchie, don't be impatient.
04:03Miss Forster?
04:05Oh, Mrs Davidson.
04:07Won't be a moment.
04:08Come in, dear.
04:09Now, what do we owe the pleasure of this visit?
04:16It's about Doreen Burns.
04:17I see you've allowed her a second visit this week.
04:19Is there any special reason for this?
04:21Oh, yes, dear.
04:23Foreign from Doreen is pregnant.
04:25And you know what?
04:26The silly girl wanted to have an abortion.
04:28So I brought Kevin in to persuade her against such an evil act.
04:32Oh, I see.
04:34Well, that's what I'm here for, surely.
04:37Would you care for some tea?
04:38No, thank you.
04:39I have a great deal of work to do, as I'm sure you have.
04:42Oh, no, I'm not too push at the moment, now that I've solved Doreen's little problem.
04:47What about the other women?
04:49Now that the factory project has been abandoned, we need to look at other rehabilitation programs.
04:54I thought you might have some ideas.
04:56Oh, no, no, no.
04:57I've been far too busy settling in here.
04:59But I'm sure something will come to mind.
05:01Well, the need for alternative projects is rather urgent.
05:04Yes, yes, I understand.
05:06Now, is there anything else?
05:10I believe you've seen Kay White.
05:12Oh, yes, poor girl.
05:14A dreadful affliction.
05:16Compulsive gambling.
05:17We'll be discussing Kay at our next classification meeting.
05:20So if you have any ideas, perhaps you could jot them down or we could go over them then.
05:24Good.
05:25I'm sure I could be quite useful there.
05:27Well, I'll be expecting you in my office at 5.30 tomorrow with the other staff.
05:33I'll be there.
05:35Oh, Butchie.
05:37He just loves that tin food.
05:40Hello.
05:54Hi.
05:56Well?
05:57Well, what?
05:59Well, haven't you got something to tell me?
06:01What do you mean?
06:02I thought I told you everything yesterday.
06:04No, you didn't tell me about the baby, Dora.
06:09How do you know about that?
06:11I thought women were supposed to tell their husbands first.
06:13But no, no, you have to go blabbing off to the social worker.
06:16Well, she shouldn't have told you, the rotten old bitch.
06:18Yeah, well, why didn't you tell me, Dora?
06:20Well, I tried to tell you yesterday.
06:23Well, when I first heard about it, you know, I was excited.
06:25I mean, I was going to be a father.
06:27I started thinking about the future, what I was going to do with the business.
06:29I mean, it'll all be his one day.
06:31And then Miss Forster tells me that you want to get rid of it.
06:34Why?
06:37Well, you said you didn't want to start a family.
06:38No, no, I said I didn't want to plant a family, you know.
06:40But, well, now that's happened, it's terrific.
06:43No, no, Kevin, I'm not having it.
06:46But, Dora, I sent it to a ride.
06:47Why?
06:50Mrs Jackson, can I go in now?
06:52Hey, no.
06:53Now, Dora, we've got to talk about this.
06:54I mean, it's my kid too, you know.
06:58No, Kevin, it isn't.
07:14Yeah, well, I don't suppose one more surprise is going to hurt me.
07:16So whose is it then?
07:18Can't we just forget about it?
07:20No, we can't.
07:21I'm supposed to be your husband, or maybe you forgot about that.
07:23I suppose anything in pants would do.
07:24Kevin.
07:26Yeah, that's right, I'm a slut.
07:27I'll screw around with anybody.
07:29That's what you think, don't you?
07:30Yeah, well, what am I supposed to think if it's not my kid?
07:32I was raped.
07:37Who?
07:38Doreen.
07:39We've got to know.
07:41I suppose all the girls in here are fair game.
07:43First it's Blim and Stewart, and now this.
07:44Oh, no, it wasn't anybody in here.
07:46It was Vince Talbot.
07:48What do you mean?
07:49Who's Talbot?
07:50He worked at the factory.
07:52Why didn't you tell somebody then?
07:55Well, you're going to tell somebody now, because we're going to go to the police.
07:58No, Kevin, I can't.
07:59Doreen, we're going, you know?
08:00I know you don't think it'll do any good, but it will.
08:03Like, rape's a crime.
08:05I reckon this is the first time you're going to get a chance to show that somebody's done
08:08the wrong thing by you.
08:09Well, that's only fair, isn't it?
08:11I think she's had enough, Kevin.
08:14All she's been through.
08:16Well, I'm going to see Mrs Davidson, then I'm going straight to the police.
08:20I'm only doing it because I love you.
08:22And it's Fearless Light coming to the turn around the bend in front, Brutus coming to
08:31within a half length, and then there's a long gap to the rest into the straight now, and
08:35Brutus driving hard on the outside after Fearless Light.
08:37It's Brutus on the outside going a shade the better, and Brutus got up the wind by ahead
08:41Fearless Light in second place.
08:43Good boy.
08:43Jackie?
08:46Pity you didn't back him.
08:47You again.
08:49Book's up now, if you're interested.
08:51Huh?
08:52I thought you'd jump at the chance.
08:53Oh, that's right.
08:54Bea cleaned you out, didn't she?
08:58Shane?
09:00Sherry's blessing in the third sounds like a good thing.
09:03She's only running at seven to one.
09:04I make the odds around here.
09:07It's just a matter of interest.
09:09What are you offering?
09:11Oh, ten to one.
09:13Could go thirteens.
09:15Still, if you're broke, I suppose knowing how good the odds are, it only upset you.
09:19Hey, easy.
09:20All right.
09:20Five dollars on Sherry's blessing at thirteen to one.
09:24I thought you were broke.
09:25Where did that come from?
09:27Oh, I've been saving it for a rainy day.
09:29Well, you're not backing down, are you?
09:32Funny.
09:32I never thought of you as a piker.
09:34Now, they're moving to the line for the third event at Tyington.
09:47Where is she?
09:47She'd be out for half an hour.
09:49Oh, she'll be all right.
09:50Don't worry.
09:51Long as she doesn't spill the beans about the baby.
09:54She wouldn't do that.
09:56Kev's a nice young bloke, but don't think he'd take to that.
10:01You know, in a way, it's a lucky thing he doesn't want to start a family so soon.
10:04Otherwise, poor Doreen would have to live with a lie for the rest of her life.
10:07Oh, what's wrong, love?
10:10She told him.
10:11She told him about the kid.
10:13Who?
10:14That foster bitch.
10:15Oh, she had no right.
10:17I told you she was against abortion.
10:19She got Kevin in to make him talk me out of it.
10:21Stupid bitch.
10:21The only time she ever gets off her backside, she goes and causes trouble.
10:24What did Kevin say?
10:26Well, I had to tell him, Bea.
10:28I couldn't lie to him.
10:29Not about something as important as a kid.
10:31I had to tell him that it wasn't his and everything.
10:34Oh, God.
10:34What did he say to that?
10:36Well, he reckons I've got a charge, Talbot.
10:38He's going down to the police now.
10:40Good on him.
10:41But I don't want to.
10:42Listen here, you dimwit.
10:44You've got the abortion now for sure.
10:45And charging that Talbot bastard is the best thing you could ever do.
10:49Come in.
10:53Mrs Davidson, Kevin Burns would like to speak to you.
10:55Oh, yes. Bring him in.
10:56Kevin?
10:58Hello, Kevin.
10:59Miss Foster's Dusk Talbot, you're going to be a father.
11:01Congratulations.
11:01Oh, Mrs Davidson, that's...
11:02It's not mine, is it?
11:03I beg your pardon?
11:04It's not my bloody kid, is it?
11:05You were the one that sent her out in that bloody work program.
11:06Come on, Kevin.
11:07This isn't going to get you anywhere.
11:10Look, I'm sorry, Mrs Davidson.
11:11I just don't know what to do.
11:12Well, for heaven's sake, what's this all about?
11:15Doreen has just told Kevin that the baby isn't his.
11:17She was raped, Mrs Davidson.
11:19Mrs Jackson, will you please tell me what's happened?
11:23Doreen has just told Kevin that Vince Talbot raped her at the factory.
11:27But that's appalling.
11:33I'll get Doreen in at once so that we can get all the facts.
11:35Yeah, well, I've got all the facts I need.
11:36I'm going straight to the police.
11:37It's up to Doreen to make the charge.
11:39She won't do it.
11:40She's so frightened, she just wants to forget about it.
11:42But I'm going to make sure he gets what's coming to him.
11:45Have you discussed the abortion?
11:47Oh, no.
11:47Look, I don't know.
11:48I don't know what to think.
11:50Well, perhaps you can discuss it with Doreen later when you're a little calmer.
11:53Calmer?
11:53Well, I know what that bloke did to her.
11:55I want to kill him.
11:56I hope you're not going to be so foolish as to take the law into your own hands.
11:59Oh, no.
12:00Look, I...
12:01No.
12:02I'm going down to the police station now and I'll get things moving down there.
12:06Look, I'm sorry, Mrs Davidson.
12:07I just need to let off some steam.
12:09I feel, you know...
12:10I wish I could do more, but...
12:13Don't worry about Doreen.
12:15She'll be well looked after.
12:17Yeah, OK.
12:18Thanks.
12:19I'll see you later.
12:20Goodbye, Kevin.
12:21And please try not to worry.
12:23We're all working together now.
12:31It's a dreadful thing to have happened.
12:51What I can't understand is why nobody reported it.
12:54The women must have known.
12:56When do they tell us anything?
12:58Besides, they probably wanted to deal with Talbot themselves.
13:02Yes, that's obviously the reason for the attack the other day.
13:06I wish I had known.
13:08I'd have been tempted to let them get on with it.
13:10Yes.
13:12What's going to happen with Doreen?
13:14Well, once Kevin has made the report, I imagine the police will want to question her.
13:19In the meantime, she'll have to be watched very carefully.
13:23Was there something else?
13:25No, well...
13:27It's just that I feel so personally responsible for what happened, Meg.
13:32I was so keen for the factory project to go ahead, I allowed the women to be manipulated.
13:38Financially, by Andrew Reynolds, and now this with Talbot.
13:42That man would see any woman as fair game.
13:46Which we are, if someone wants to take advantage of us.
13:49I mean, look what Jeff Butler did to me.
13:52And what Andrew Reynolds did with me.
13:54We're both victims, Meg.
13:59Just like Doreen.
14:00Oh, good morning, Miss White.
14:18Good morning, Mr Spencer.
14:20How's it all going?
14:21Well, I've examined the police charges against you.
14:24Thirty-five in all, and all well documented.
14:27Which means I don't stand a chance.
14:29Oh, I wouldn't give up hope yet.
14:31You have a very good chance, if we can prove to the court that you stole because of your compulsion to gamble.
14:37Well, how do we do that?
14:40Psychiatric evidence.
14:42After Dr Weissman's initial assessment, he feels that you do have a genuine addiction to gambling.
14:48And so he is willing to assist you.
14:50To help me to break the habit?
14:51Precisely.
14:52But it is extremely important that you cooperate with him.
14:56Show him that you're sincere in your desire to be helped.
14:58Well, don't you think I'm sincere?
15:00Yes, I do.
15:03Naturally, refraining from gambling will be a start.
15:07Well, I don't get too much of a chance in here, do I?
15:10No, I suppose not.
15:12Whatever facilities Winchworth provides, the TOB isn't one of them.
15:17Oh, it's a relief in some ways, being in here.
15:22Gives me time to dry out.
15:24Good.
15:25Well, what about when you're released?
15:26When or if?
15:27When.
15:28With Dr Weissman's testimony, there's a strong possibility that you will be acquitted.
15:33At the very worst, you should get a good behaviour bond.
15:36Oh, here's me thinking I was spending the next ten years in here.
15:39But now, maybe...
15:41You'll be a free woman?
15:42Well, I for one hope so.
15:44You have every chance, now that you're determined to give up gambling.
15:47Oh, I can't tell you how much I want to.
15:51It's now that she needs her gram.
15:54Oh, I wish I could have a half day before she comes out of hospital.
15:58Yeah, well, don't ask Agnes.
16:00She'll be waiting till Christmas.
16:01Yeah, she won't do nothing.
16:03We ought to get up a demo.
16:06Give force to the big A.
16:08Wouldn't work.
16:09No, but we've got to do something, especially since she blabbed on door.
16:14It doesn't matter.
16:15Yes, it does, and I'm never going to speak to her again.
16:20That's not such a bad idea.
16:21Oh, she wouldn't care to just make her job easier for her.
16:25But it'd make everyone else's job harder.
16:27How do you mean?
16:29Tell her around.
16:31Listen, whenever you want leave or overnight passes or help with your families,
16:37anything the social worker should handle, go to Davo instead.
16:40She'd just send us to Ag the Bag.
16:43Of course she would.
16:44She might also get the message that we think forces as weak as water.
16:47Oh, that'd put a spaggler in the works.
16:51You got that?
16:51Yeah.
16:52Right.
16:53Good.
16:54Poor love.
16:55She's going to be on the pension sooner than she thought.
16:58Doreen?
16:59The police are here to see you.
17:01I have to?
17:01Go on, love.
17:03Just make sure you lay up in that bastard Talbot.
17:07Can I go to the loo first, Mrs. Jones?
17:09All right.
17:09Come along.
17:18Ah, I was wondering when you'd show up.
17:20Shari's blessed with one.
17:22Big deal.
17:22So you picked one at last.
17:24Okay.
17:25$70.
17:25And I'll count it.
17:27I will.
17:27Just to make sure there's no mistake.
17:30It's $20, $30, $50, $70.
17:35All right.
17:36So be a good girl and hand it over.
17:38I owe you $70.
17:40You owe me $50.
17:41From the factory.
17:42Remember?
17:43Well, now you're flush, you can pay me back.
17:46You bitch.
17:48Oh, don't be like that.
17:49Don't spend it all at once.
17:59Doreen?
18:00I'm Sergeant Hennessy.
18:02Do sit down.
18:03What are we doing in here?
18:05This sort of thing is unpleasant enough, so we want to make you as comfortable as possible.
18:09Especially in your condition.
18:11Would you like a cup of tea, Doreen?
18:12No, thanks, Mrs. Jackson.
18:14Okay.
18:15Your husband told me what he knew, but I'll need to hear it from you.
18:19Can you tell me exactly what occurred?
18:21I'm sorry, Doreen, but I need facts.
18:28Now, just as briefly as possible.
18:33Well, he took me to the storeroom and locked the door.
18:37I tried to get away, but he said he'd give me a bad time if I didn't, you know, do it with him.
18:45Mm-hmm.
18:45Were there any witnesses?
18:47No, we were locked in.
18:48And afterwards?
18:49I just wanted to forget about it.
18:53I can sympathise with you, but if you'd told someone, you would have got help.
19:01The police force has doctors, social workers and so on, especially to help rape victims.
19:07Yeah, well, I didn't know that.
19:09It's a great pity.
19:12Are you sure there's nothing else you can tell me?
19:14Look, try to think, Doreen, anything.
19:18We do want to bring Talbot to court if it's at all possible.
19:21No, nothing else.
19:24I'm sorry, Doreen.
19:26The lateness of complaint, lack of forensic evidence, witnesses, make it very difficult to prove that you were raped.
19:33I'm afraid there's just not enough evidence to charge Talbot.
19:36It's okay.
19:39I understand.
19:41Can I go now?
19:42Yes.
19:43I'm sorry, I can't do anything for you.
19:52Hello.
19:53Miss Forster, isn't it?
19:55That's right.
19:56And what could I do for you, young man?
19:57Oh, I'm the department psychiatrist, Dr Weissman.
20:00I've come to see Kay White, you see, and I was...
20:02How do you now?
20:03And what good would that do to poor girl?
20:05Well, a great deal, I should hope.
20:08Fiddlesticks.
20:09You head shrinkers do more harm than good with your mumbo-jumbo.
20:12What poor Miss White needs is a little self-control.
20:16Well, it's a bit more difficult than that.
20:19And I believe that psychiatrists are a waste of the department's money.
20:23If you're a doctor, you should be practicing real medicine.
20:27Oh, yes, I suppose I should.
20:28Nothing could convince me otherwise.
20:31Now, please state your business.
20:33Well, I was wondering if I could use your room again to see Kay White.
20:36You most certainly may not.
20:38But she was most upset last time.
20:41Strangers prancing around the room.
20:44Well, I'm sorry, I...
20:46I didn't mean to prance.
20:48Apology accepted.
20:51Well, it's been very nice meeting you.
20:54I'll, uh...
20:55I'll see Kay White in the interview room.
20:58It's not as comfortable as Miss Forster's office.
21:05I'm afraid it'll have to do.
21:06It's okay.
21:07Let's sit down.
21:08Now, the last time you told me about your childhood,
21:12which seemed to indicate the root of the problem,
21:15could you tell me now exactly how you feel when you get this urge to gamble?
21:18Well, it's like being torn in two.
21:25One half of me wants to resist,
21:27and the other half urges me on.
21:29Then it gets so bad,
21:31I can't resist anymore.
21:34And how does it make you feel?
21:35Oh, good to begin with.
21:37I've got what I wanted.
21:39Then I start thinking about it,
21:40and I feel bad.
21:42Bad.
21:42Giving in.
21:43I feel like a kid, you know,
21:44out of control, helpless.
21:50You told me how badly you feel about yourself,
21:52that you're a failure,
21:54no one's going to have any respect for you.
21:56And yet, you committed crimes over a long period of time
21:59without showing any concern or remorse.
22:02My big problem is that
22:05I don't know if you really want to change.
22:09What do I have to say to you?
22:11Perhaps I've been hedging.
22:13Perhaps I've been putting it too nicely.
22:16I am sick of the sight of myself.
22:18I hate what I'm doing.
22:19I mean, you just think about it, Doctor.
22:21Do you want to wake up every morning and hate what you are?
22:22I hate the way you behave?
22:23Because I do!
22:25I feel helpless.
22:26I can't do it by myself.
22:27I need help!
22:28You will have.
22:33You'll help me?
22:36Yes, of course.
22:51I'm sorry, I'm late, Mrs Davidson.
22:52I was just seeing Dr Wiseman out.
22:54It's quite all right, Mrs Jackson.
22:55Miss Forster hasn't arrived yet.
22:57Does it matter?
22:58Reception, would you ring Miss Forster
23:07and remind her that the classification meeting is about to start?
23:12Oh, I see.
23:16It appears Miss Forster has left for the day.
23:19Typical.
23:21Did anyone think to tell her that the meeting was on?
23:22Yes, I reminded her yesterday, but it could have slipped her mind.
23:25Like everything else?
23:26Oh, we just can't continue, Mrs Davidson.
23:28She simply isn't doing the work she's meant to be.
23:30Well, she's only been here five minutes.
23:32Give her a chance to get used to the place.
23:33The only thing she's getting used to is an easy job, like all social workers.
23:37All she ever does around here is make cups of tea and talk to that ridiculous cat.
23:40Now, that's true, Mrs Davidson.
23:42There's vital work to be done here, and she isn't doing it.
23:45Now, what we need is a competent social worker and quickly.
23:47Now, I don't like to say this, but I think Miss Forster should be retired.
23:51Look, she's not that bad.
23:53I think that she could have quite a lot to offer once she settles in.
23:55It's well known how you feel about little old ladies.
23:57Miss Bennett, that is quite enough.
24:00We are not here to discuss Miss Forster's shortcomings.
24:04I suggest we do our job and get on with the classification meeting.
24:07Now, our most important problems are Kay White and Doreen Burns.
24:21Hi.
24:23The girl said that you went to the cops about Talbot.
24:25What'd they say?
24:27They said they can't lay a charge because there's not enough evidence.
24:30I need witnesses.
24:32Damn that mongrel.
24:35I'll, uh, I'll go witness for you, Dora.
24:37What could you say?
24:39Well, I could, uh, I could tell them that I saw you go into the storeroom with Talbot
24:44and then say that you told me what happened when you came out.
24:48Thanks, Jude.
24:50But it wouldn't help.
24:52You know something?
24:54It seems to me that maybe you're not interested in laying charges.
24:57No, it's just that I'm worried about what Kevin's going to say
24:59when he finds out that nothing's going to happen.
25:01It's you that got raped, Doreen.
25:03It's you that has to do something about it.
25:05It's got nothing to do with Kevin.
25:07It has.
25:07He was the one who made me go to the police in the first place.
25:10What do you mean, made you go?
25:12It's okay.
25:12He's been great about it.
25:13Oh, yeah.
25:14Well, that's easy for him, isn't it?
25:15He wasn't the one that got raped.
25:16He was trying to help me.
25:17He was trying to get revenge, you mean.
25:20Don't you understand, Doreen?
25:22It's his bloody ego that got hurt.
25:24Someone else screwed his wife.
25:25Of course he's got to take revenge.
25:28Oh, I don't know.
25:30Maybe you're right.
25:32Of course I am.
25:33But I've got to have something to hold on to.
25:41I love Kevin.
25:43He's the only thing that means anything to me anymore.
25:45That's yours for a place.
25:57Great.
25:57And that's about it.
25:59Not quite.
26:00What about my win in the fifth?
26:01Oh, yeah.
26:02Three dollars and seventy-five cents.
26:08What's so funny?
26:09Nothing like the big plunge, isn't there?
26:12Three dollars and seventy-five cents.
26:15Just check out your face, Lizzie, or I might be...
26:16You're what?
26:17Thump a little old lady.
26:19Lizzie was just being sympathetic, weren't you, love?
26:21On the outside, I bet you play for bigger stakes.
26:23Of course it makes it much easier when you can get your fingers into the petty cash.
26:27Oh, yeah.
26:27Smart idea, that one.
26:29Can't be too smart if you get caught.
26:31Still, you've got to lose some time.
26:34Now, look, Lizzie...
26:34Give it a break.
26:36You interested in the trots?
26:38Of course she is.
26:40She's got three dollars and seventy-five to spare.
26:44Oh, now, come on, come on.
26:45Don't be tough on the girl.
26:46After all, she's trying to give it up.
26:48Aren't you, White?
26:49Are you interested in the trots or not?
26:52Sure.
26:53If you want the money, come to my cell.
26:58She's cracking, Bea.
27:00Yeah, I thought she was going to take a swing at you.
27:02Well, why didn't you let her?
27:03I can take it.
27:04Yeah.
27:05Right, all we have to do now is wait until she loses again, stir her, she'll do her block.
27:11And if there's a screw around, she'll end up in solitary.
27:14Very, very thrilling affair.
27:20Numbers now coming into the frame.
27:22Very tight finish.
27:24Here they are now.
27:25In the garden first.
27:27In the garden first.
27:29Second, Golden Boy.
27:31And third, Sir Cindy.
27:33Oh, bugger it.
27:34Not interested in the last race.
27:36You know I haven't got any more money.
27:37That was my last cent.
27:39No need to get upset.
27:40You've got to lose some time.
27:41Just what do you mean by that?
27:43Well, you're punchy, aren't you?
27:44I only said that.
27:45You said I was a loser.
27:46Well, what would you know?
27:46Slow down.
27:47I only meant that you...
27:47What's going on in here?
27:49Nothing.
27:50Get back to your cell.
27:53Well, White, what's wrong?
27:54Nothing, Miss Bennet.
27:56Well, it's pleasant to see another smiling face for a change.
27:59And maybe you can give me something to smile about?
28:04I'm dropping dead!
28:09What's made you so happy?
28:11What Kevin did a Doreen?
28:12And what your friend, Talbot, did in the first place, bloody men.
28:18You just leave my things alone.
28:20You little silver man.
28:22Now, I didn't ask to share with you.
28:24And while we're stuck in here, we might as well make the most of it.
28:27And don't you ever speak to me like that again, you understand?
28:30What do you want?
28:31Oh, my God.
28:32I don't know.
28:32You're deaf my
28:51Hey, Doreen.
29:21Come on, love. Come on.
29:28It's not as bad as all that.
29:30Oh, everything's just as bad as it was yesterday.
29:34No, it's not.
29:35Only worse.
29:36Not.
29:37Can't be.
29:39Kevin knows, and he's going to take care of you.
29:43He won't want me anymore.
29:46He'll reckon I'm dirty.
29:48Oh, he's sticking by me now, isn't he?
29:51Oh, dear, but Judy says that he's only doing it because of his own pride.
29:59Oh, forget Judy.
30:01She wouldn't know anything about blokes, now would she?
30:05No, I suppose not.
30:07No.
30:08Don't you worry about Kevin.
30:10He'll stick by you.
30:14Oh, what am I going to do, Pete?
30:17Going to the police didn't do any good.
30:20And Kevin and me.
30:24We never even talked about what we're going to do about the baby.
30:39Something's finally being done about that Forster woman.
30:42Oh?
30:42What?
30:43Mrs Davidson's going to the department about it.
30:45What I can't understand is why she was sent here in the first place.
30:48Probably the department's idea of a joke.
30:51Erica?
30:52Oh, hello, Ted.
30:53Hello.
30:53How nice to see you.
30:54Are you going up to see me?
30:55Yes, I am.
30:56Oh, good.
30:57How are things that went with?
30:58Not too good, I'm afraid.
31:00Agnes Forster's causing a few problems.
31:02Oh, yes, sir, I believe.
31:04Dr Weissman was in before.
31:05Apparently she gave him a bib hurry up yesterday.
31:08It's really not very funny, Ted.
31:10Oh, I suppose not.
31:12It's just that I've had a long experience with Agnes.
31:14She seems to cause trouble wherever she goes.
31:16You mean you knew she was incompetent and you still sent her to Wentworth?
31:20Well, no, I wouldn't say incompetent.
31:23It's a rather serious charge.
31:25Well, what would you call her?
31:27Certainly not a social worker.
31:29Because of her ineptitude, she's damaged the relationship between myself and my staff
31:33and alienated the women.
31:35She's turning the place into a shambles.
31:38Please, Ted, a replacement.
31:40Oh, dear.
31:41They don't grow on trees, you know.
31:43Look, couldn't you put up with her till the end of the year?
31:45Until she retires.
31:47Wentworth is a prison,
31:48not a rest home for departmental geriatrics.
31:51Yes, all right, all right.
31:51Point taken.
31:53Well, look, I'll try to replace her,
31:55but I don't like your chances.
31:56But you won't.
31:57I'll do my utmost, all right?
32:00Now, look, while you're here,
32:01there is another matter.
32:02Jim Fletcher has applied for governorship at Barnhurst
32:05and he's known to do as referee.
32:08What do you think?
32:09He's extremely capable and competent.
32:12Governor material?
32:14Well, he's shown a certain amount of concern
32:17for the women as people.
32:20Individuals rather than just prisoners.
32:22I consider that important in a governor.
32:25But you have reservations.
32:27Oh, dear, how should I put this?
32:29If he sees something he approves of,
32:31he's for it.
32:33If not, his approach to the problem
32:35is emotional and personal rather than rational.
32:38In other words,
32:39he's like a formal training in social work,
32:41shows up.
32:42Well, yes, but I don't think
32:43that should rule him out of the job.
32:44Well, would you give him
32:46a positive recommendation overall?
32:48Oh, yes, he has a great deal
32:49to contribute to the prison service.
32:51I must make a move.
32:53Yes, all right, now, look,
32:54don't worry about that transference.
32:56I'll do what I can, all right?
32:57Thank you, Ted.
32:58Goodbye.
32:58Lovely seeing you.
32:59Bye-bye.
32:59Hey, hang on, girls, wait a minute.
33:13I've been thinking.
33:14I think it's about time
33:14we put our anti-ag program into action.
33:18Beauty!
33:19So, have any of you got any problems?
33:20How about you, Doreen?
33:22Oh, I've got to talk to Kevin first.
33:24Yeah, well, I've got a few things
33:25I need to sort now.
33:26Hey, come on, ladies.
33:27That's lunch.
33:28Don't you want any?
33:29I've got something more important,
33:30Mr Fletcher.
33:31I've got to see the governor.
33:32You shouldn't put your application
33:33in before breakfast, Lizzie.
33:34It's urgent.
33:35It's about my little granddaughter.
33:37She's still in hospital, see?
33:38And I want to see her,
33:39so I've got to ask Mrs Davidson.
33:41What's the job for the social worker?
33:43Social worker?
33:44What social worker?
33:46I didn't know we had one.
33:48All right, what's all this about?
33:49Nothing.
33:50Just that my trial's coming up
33:52in a couple of days.
33:52I want to organise a lawyer.
33:54I'd like to see Mrs Davidson after Lizzie.
33:56If you need that sort of help,
33:57that's a job for Miss Forster.
33:59And you'll be seeing her,
34:00and so will Birdsworth.
34:01Might as well be seeing her cat.
34:04For your information, Smith,
34:05Miss Forster has had 40 years' experience
34:07with the department.
34:09Although she probably has to have to deal
34:10with a bunch of ratbags like you lot.
34:11Oh, he does know how to hurt,
34:14doesn't he, girls?
34:15Now, I just wonder what Miss Forster's done
34:18to get him to Fletcher's good books.
34:20Oh, he just likes little old ladies,
34:22don't you, little...
34:22Oh, I'm sorry, Fletch.
34:26Come on, girls, lunch.
34:28Do you want to see the social worker?
34:29No way.
34:31What about you, Brian?
34:32Oh, no, I'm going to wait
34:32to see Mrs Davidson.
34:33Well, you'll be waiting.
34:35What is it with you, Fletch?
34:36I wouldn't have thought you could care less
34:38whether we had a social worker or not.
34:39You don't deserve one.
34:40Oh, well, maybe Mrs Davidson
34:43will realise that.
34:44We won't have one.
34:51Ah, Miss Forster, let me do that.
34:53Oh, thank you.
34:54Right.
34:56Makes the room look so much homeier.
34:59Don't you think?
35:00Yes.
35:01How's that?
35:01Oh, that's fine.
35:03Fine, fine.
35:04Good.
35:06I'm so glad you turned up.
35:08I haven't seen a soul all morning.
35:12Would you care to join me for lunch?
35:14No, I won't, thank you.
35:16Miss Forster, I...
35:18Agnes, do sit down, dear.
35:23Agnes, I don't mean to worry you,
35:25but, uh...
35:27Well, there's been some rumblings.
35:30What on earth do you mean?
35:32Well, some of the women here,
35:34they've got it into their heads
35:36that you're, well...
35:38Not Paul Reed.
35:39Well, yes.
35:40I never pretended to be.
35:42I'm a facility to be used.
35:45And if the women don't seek me out,
35:46well, it's their misfortune.
35:48Yes, well, there's also the staff.
35:51Oh, yes.
35:53Oh, dear, you are being coy.
35:55Well, they're being pretty hostile.
35:59They're saying that you're not
35:59the right person for the job,
36:01and so forth.
36:02When you've been to public service
36:03as long as I have,
36:04you make enemies.
36:06I think I can deal with
36:08whatever Wentworth has to dish out.
36:10Yes, but it could go further than that.
36:13What if it goes to the department?
36:15Oh, dear, I'm a public servant.
36:18And if you're worried about me getting the sack,
36:20you can forget it.
36:21They never sack anyone.
36:23Yes, but they could seek an early retirement.
36:28Oh.
36:30Thanks for the warning, dear,
36:31but there's no need to worry about me.
36:35I'll be all right.
36:37Yes, well, I hope so.
36:40Well, I'd better be getting about my duties.
36:42Yes, dear.
36:44See you later.
36:48Oh, poor she.
36:50What are they trying to do to us?
36:54We don't do anyone any harm.
36:58They push us from Philip's post.
37:03And now they want to retire us.
37:09Then what will we do?
37:11Hey.
37:12Here's a postie.
37:28Right.
37:29Brian.
37:31Thanks very much.
37:32Stokes.
37:34Nagel.
37:37White.
37:37White.
37:37White.
37:38White.
37:38White.
37:38White.
37:38White.
37:38White.
37:38White.
37:38White.
37:39White.
37:40White.
37:40White.
37:42White.
37:44Smith.
37:45Sorry, Bea.
37:46Oh, well, how many letters do I get anyway?
37:48Oh, Lizzie.
37:50Yeah, Mrs. J.
37:51Um, Mrs. Huntley phoned an hour ago.
37:52She says there's some complications with the operation.
37:54Oh, no, nothing serious.
37:55No, no, no, no, don't get upset.
37:57It just means Jose will be in hospital a little longer.
37:59Here, you can see for yourself.
38:00Oh, I can't even get to see the poor little mud.
38:04Now, come on, don't get getting yourself into a state, Lizzie.
38:06Ellen would have said if it was something serious.
38:09Yeah.
38:10Come on, let's keep your mind off it.
38:11We're going to go have a couple of hands of poker.
38:13All right.
38:18Bastard.
38:19Good news, eh?
38:20Boyfriend dumped you or what?
38:21Bloody Reynolds.
38:23Your boss from the factory?
38:24Is he offering you your job back?
38:26Oh, no way.
38:27Dear Kay, I can hardly hope you are well under the circumstances, but if there's any assistance
38:37I can offer, don't hesitate to ask.
38:40Bloody hypocrite.
38:41Well, that seems pretty good considering what you did to him.
38:44He's the reason I'm in here.
38:46I offered to pay him back, but oh, no, he's got to call in the police.
38:49Well, it's better than a poke in the eye, isn't it?
38:52I'll tell you what.
38:53Why don't you write to him?
38:55Ask him to be a character witness at your trial.
38:58It's just a suggestion.
38:59Who is yours from?
39:04My aunt.
39:05Good news?
39:06What do you care for?
39:07I don't.
39:08I was just being polite, seeing as you were so interested in mine.
39:13Well, it's, uh...
39:15It's about my father's will, you see?
39:18He's left everything to me.
39:20The whole kit and caboodle.
39:22How much?
39:23Thirty grand.
39:25What's there to cry about?
39:26My sisters are contesting it.
39:29Well, so long as the will's clear, they haven't got a leg to stand on.
39:34You're rich.
39:35Congratulations.
39:37Yeah, terrific.
39:38Get out the champagne.
39:40Woo, woo, woo, woo.
39:41Even if I get the money, I won't be able to spend it for five years.
39:44Oh, look on the bright side.
39:46Think of how much interest it'll earn.
39:51Get lost, will you?
39:54Where do you think you're going, what?
40:07The recreation room, if that's all right with you.
40:12Here comes the bad loser.
40:15You want to know how to get her out of your hair?
40:17Do I?
40:18What?
40:19If she wins, she rubs it in.
40:20If she loses, she's ready to smash me.
40:22Yeah, who needs it?
40:23Look who's crawled out of the woodwork.
40:26Cut that out, Burt's West.
40:27Do you want another hand?
40:28Yeah, it's your deal.
40:30Okay.
40:30Anything good on?
40:37See for yourself.
40:38We could listen to the races.
40:41Three at Pakenham sounds like you.
40:43Still, if you'd rather watch the Three Stooges.
40:46It's good odds, but I suppose you're broke.
40:50Lay off, Gaffney.
40:52Lost it all, did you?
40:53I said lay off, Gaffney.
40:56Loser.
40:58Don't you spit for me like that, you loser.
41:00Stop that, loser.
41:01That's enough.
41:02She's hurt her.
41:02She did it.
41:03You're coming with me.
41:05To the governor's office, perhaps.
41:07Did you hear that?
41:08They set me up.
41:09Get moving.
41:10Shut up.
41:10Oh, Mrs. Jackson.
41:18Oh, hello, Kevin.
41:19Any news?
41:20Yes, you could say that.
41:21The cops have just told me they're not going to prosecute Talbot.
41:24It's just a pity there wasn't more evidence.
41:27Yeah, it was lack of evidence, was it?
41:29Yeah, well, I tried to figure out what was going on.
41:31They wouldn't say why.
41:32Well, I...
41:32Look, could I see Doreen, please?
41:34I mean, there may be something she's forgotten to say.
41:36Oh, I'm sure she's told the police everything she could.
41:37No, I should have been there.
41:38You know, she's probably so frightened she'd forget everything.
41:41Can I see her, please, just for a minute?
41:42Well, I suppose it'll be all right.
41:44Why don't you wait here and I'll go and get her?
41:46Thanks.
41:56You all right?
41:57Sure.
41:58Just wanted to expect the Incredible Hulk, was I?
42:00Yeah, sure about that.
42:01Still, it wasn't a good cause.
42:03It better be.
42:04If White doesn't get put in a pound this time,
42:07I'll make sure she gets it my way.
42:09No worry.
42:09You won't have to lift her finger.
42:11Farrah saw what happened.
42:12She'll tell Dava.
42:13Hey, Jude, I reckon you'll have your cell to yourself for a while.
42:16Suits me.
42:18Doreen?
42:20It's Kevin, isn't it?
42:21That's right.
42:22Go on, love.
42:22You get out there and you talk about having that abortion.
42:24You know that kid's falling to pieces?
42:32Mm-hmm.
42:33I don't think Kevin's going to be any help at all.
42:35Yeah, well, maybe it doesn't look like it.
42:36They've got to talk turkey sooner or later.
42:38And now Doreen can't lay that rape charge.
42:41Well, they've got to talk about the baby and their future.
42:43That's right.
42:45I still don't like it.
42:46Yeah, well, nor do I.
42:47But they're the only ones you can sort it out.
42:50White and Gaffney were talking quietly together when suddenly White threw Gaffney to the floor.
42:54If I hadn't been there, she could have killed her.
42:55Thank you, Miss Bennet.
42:56White?
42:57What Miss Bennet says is true.
42:59At least you're not denying it.
43:00Do you have any excuse for your action?
43:02No excuse.
43:03But I do have an explanation.
43:05Then I would like to hear it.
43:07I saw Dr. Wiseman yesterday, and he thinks he can help me with my problem.
43:11So rather than staying in my cell listening to the races, I thought I'd be much better off in the recreation room.
43:16So you would not be reminded of the gambling?
43:18Yes.
43:19I was sitting watching television when Margot Gaffney started taunting me about my habit.
43:22And that's when you attacked her?
43:24Yes, I played right into her hands.
43:26What do you mean by that?
43:26Oh, you must know the women don't like me.
43:28They've been needling me ever since I arrived.
43:31The best way to get at me is through the system.
43:32Provoke me into lashing out, and then they know I'll be put into solitary.
43:35Which is no more than you deserve.
43:37I know that.
43:38All I'm saying is I was set up.
43:40Quite.
43:41But as long as you respond to their taunting, they will continue to provoke you.
43:46Yes, I know.
43:47And how do you propose to cope with that?
43:50Hit another inmate?
43:51Well, now I know how they work, I think I can handle them.
43:55Good.
43:57However, for your own safety, I would suggest that you spend as little time with the other
44:01women as possible.
44:03You mean solitary?
44:05No.
44:06I am prepared to give you another chance.
44:09But she attacked Gaffney.
44:10She deserves to...
44:10Thank you, Mrs. Davidson.
44:12I appreciate that chance.
44:13I hope so.
44:15Take her to her cell, Miss Bennet.
44:16Come on, mate.
44:36Come and sit down.
44:38You've got to look after yourself, you know.
44:39Now, look, Dor, I don't want to hassle you, but I've just been talking to the cops and
44:43they say they're not going to lay any charges against Torbett.
44:45Why?
44:46I mean, there must have been something you could have told them.
44:47Well, there wasn't enough evidence.
44:50That's right, Kevin.
44:51It would be practically impossible to press charges.
44:55Okay.
44:55All right, so there isn't enough evidence.
44:58Well, I'm going to give Torbett something to go on with.
45:00What do you mean?
45:00Look, I'm going down to the factory just to let him know that I know, you know.
45:04Even if they can't press charges, I'm going to make sure his name's dirt.
45:07Don't, Kevin, please.
45:08Why?
45:08Don't you want to see him get what's coming to him?
45:10Look, can't we just drop it?
45:12We can't do anything now.
45:15No, Dor, unless you can give me a good reason, I'm going down to the factory.
45:17Well, there is a good reason.
45:23Well, you know, I said that I was raped.
45:28Well, I was the first time.
45:30The first time?
45:33It happened again.
45:36Do you mean to say he raped you twice?
45:38Why didn't you tell the cops?
45:40Because he'd say that he didn't have to force me the second time.
45:47Say, the second time, I'll let him do it, too.
46:02He used to give me roses
46:05I wish he could again
46:10But that was on the outside
46:16And things were different then
46:21On the inside
46:23The sun still shines
46:26And the rain falls down
46:31But the sun and rain are Christmas, too
46:36When morning comes around
46:40Last night I dreamed we were together
46:45Sharing all the love we'd known
46:51Till I had to face the nightmare
46:57Awaken up alone
47:01On the inside
47:03On the inside the roses grow
47:05They don't land the stony ground
47:11But the roses here are Christmas, too
47:16When morning comes around
47:21On the inside...
47:32On the inside
47:33Well, what's happened to me?
47:36Heavenly Familie
47:37Wow, for now
47:38When úin'
47:39After the rest of the night
47:40I've changed everything
47:41And it took my eyes
47:43When we went along
47:44And itだ
47:45And in the inside
