The oncologist is running a clinical trial targeting hormone-positive

cancers. Now, you'd have to start today.

I'll be your top dog, right?

Doreen, I can't be top dog.

Bullshit, that's not mine.

Slot my back. It's not my gear!

All that stuff I said to Westfall, it was bullshit, you know. You've got to

give the shrink something to get them off your back, right?

Sure.

This is Tasha Goodwin. I put her in H1.

I'm hoping that if I can tempt you with pressure, tasty and neat.

Oh, fuck!

Bring it closer, Boomer.

Oh, please, please!

Take your hand away.

I'm fucked up.

Showing mercy.

How can that be bad, love?

The conjugal. It's finally been approved.

Mr. Jackson. Just shut up, okay? I know what you did.

Fuck you turning into.

Hey, Bea.

Welcome back.

How'd you go with Mr. Jackson?

Yeah, it was really good, thanks.

What do you think, Liz?

We're going to be fucking pissed because you went bunter on his ass.

Hey, Bea, this is Tasha. She's joined us.

B is our real top dog, and that basically means, Tasha, that she'll

protect you.

Hey.

Yeah?

Maxine taking over everything while I was gone?

Yeah, all good.

Where is she?

At least she's down in medical getting a bloodstun for a whole month.

Right. Hey.

It's in both.

There's also some lymph involvement.

I expect Dr Chappell warned you that time was of the essence.

Unfortunately, your delay means that it's too late to be involved in the drug

trial.

Because of the size of the tumour, your only chance at surviving is a bilateral

mastectomy, followed by a course of aggressive chemotherapy.

Go on then, ask me.

You back on the gear?

I'm pinned, look at me.

Fuck off.

I had to ask.

I think Ferguson planted it on me.

Why would she do that?

Well, someone did.

And she doesn't like me.

It wasn't her, she's one of us.

I don't need to see how P. Smith and Jackson could have did.

Are you okay?

I just don't see why you trust her. Because there's another side to her.

You are still my number one.

It's so good to have you back.

Welcome home.

She thinks I got her plotted. I can assure you I didn't.

I know.

You know there's been a shift away from Bea Smith while she's been in the slot?

Yeah.

You should capitalise on it.

How?

Divide and conquer.

Do you think I'm made of, like, potatoes?

What the fuck?

Oh.

What do you want?

Just a word?

Fuck off.

There you go.

That was five words.

It doesn't matter.

You're fucked.

It's a pity. I was about to pay you a compliment.

Really?

What? I reckon you and Maxie make an excellent team.

Me and Maxie?

Like, how do you mean?

A leader who doesn't resort to steam pressing people's hands.

Somebody who shows mercy and compassion.

A lot of support for Maxine.

He'd make a great right hand.

Yeah.

B's still boss, but A.

Oi, B.

I got flotted because that Koorie lagged and bloody Maxine did fuck all.

Jesus Christ.

I want my pound of flesh, Bea.

I'm entitled to it. Too late.

Maxine was in charge and she made the decision.

You must have gone all soft while you were in the slot then.

All that midnight sweet talking with your little Polish princess.

You don't punish the Koorie, me and the boys will be forced to do it for you.

Fuck.

All right.

But I get to choose the punishment.

Not to lay a finger on her. You got it?

You lied to me about Maxine handling things. I didn't lie about it. She

handled it in the right way.

Look at the situation you put me in. I'm sorry.

I had to hear from Juice.

Birdsworth, right?

Yes. Governor wants to see you.

Now, Birdsworth.

Hello. Coming.

Oh, Liz, thanks for coming up. Why don't we take a seat over here?

So I'm not in trouble then? No, please.

Look, the police want our help with a case.

There's been a suspected homicide and the body of the victim is still missing.

Oh, they need a bloodhound, not me.

A woman's been charged.

She'll be remanded here and we were hoping that you would agree to befriend

her.

So act like a friend, suck her in, then weasel a confession.

Police are desperate to find the body and any clues that can help... And I'm

the lagger. Is that it?

Well, ask Liz Birdsworth, cos she's got her mouth on her like a foghorn. No,

Liz, Liz, we selected you because of your experience as a peer worker.

You are liked and trusted by the women.

Yeah, but not for much longer if I did what you're asking. Forget it.

You and I both know what happens to laggers in here.

Can I go now?

Look, all I'm asking is that you meet with Detective Kaplan. Just hear him

out.

There might be something in it for you too.

Right, bring her in.

You're hurting me.

Shut the fuck up, Slag. You know what I really feel.

Oh, you want to have another go at the fuck button, do you?

Because we're going to train that Eddie.

It's so good doing it lying down.

Standing up's pretty good, too.

I can't wait till we're in our own place.

It'll be perfect.

Yeah, well... It'd be good if I got a job as well.

No luck, huh?

I'm trying.

No-one seems to want to hire a job, Bird.

A friend of mine offered me a room in her house, but... What?

That's great news, babe.

You think?

You wouldn't have a problem with it?

Five minutes in there.

It'll just be until I've got on my own feet.

Well, if you reckon it's just a temporary solution, it's fine with me.

Josh will be happy. It's a really big backyard. You need to make a mess of.

Oh, that's lovely.

It is.

Anyway, and I said she's really great with kids.

Hang on, hang on. What?

He's moving in with a chick?

Yeah, so?

I trust him.

Are you like fucked in the head or something?

What? You can't trust anyone.

Like no one. Not even your own fucking sister.

Oh, come on.

There's heaps of trustworthy people.

Name fucking one.

Yeah? Name one fucking person you can trust.

Maxine. Here's one.

You trust Max, don't you?

Yeah. Yeah?

Yeah, but now she's not shacking up with Maxie, is he?

No.

Oh. What was I thinking? Oh, now look what you've done. It's your boot now.

I've got to call Mary.

No. Get down.

You're running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Pull yourself

together.

I think that her experience made you paranoid.

You legger.

Oh, suck it up, you snitch.

It's okay. It's okay. Don't stop now. You're safe.

Who did this?

I did.

Attention compound.

Exercise period is now over.

All prisoners, return to your units.

Alright, that's it.

Airing's over. Everyone back to your unit.

Now or you'll get blotted. Go on.

How is she?

She cried herself to sleep.

Poor thing.

How could you do that?

You break the rules, you pay for it. She's just trying to stop herself from

getting raped, for Christ's sake. Her hair will grow back.

I think this stupid system of punishing laggers has gotten ridiculous.

Really? Really.

I think sometimes you have to tell the truth.

Right, Liz?

Could have been worse, love.

She could have had her hands burned.

Yeah. There could have been permanent damage. I prevented that.

I can see that you're concerned for her, so just keep looking after her until she

settles and learns her ropes, okay?

Sure.

What's taking Maxine so long?

Darren?

Dore, I reckon you're right.

Max would never have burnt me hands, eh?

Hey. Liz told me you were in medical. Where have you been?

Hospital. For tests.

I'm keeping this to myself.

So how'd it go?

Good.

What happens next? We're just weighing up the options at the moment.

What are the options?

I don't really want to talk about it, Bea.

Okay. You sure you're okay? Yeah, honey, I'm fine. How was the lot?

Fine. So what happened with the new girl? You're supposed to sort her out.

What?

Jesus, Maxine.

I asked you to step up to keep order, not play Mrs. Nice Guy.

I'm sorry, but I didn't think it would do any harm if I let her off at the

warning. Because I had Lucy Bain for blood, so I had to do something, because

you didn't do something when you shouldn't.

So Conway's back. Copy of her scans have gone to medical.

Can I have a word, Debra?

Yes, come in.

Like you should stay.

The incident in the yard this afternoon, I reckon the women are punishing that

girl because she pushed the panic button.

Yes, they see it as lagging.

But it's not right, though, is it?

That's your system.

Well, in the male prison, the inmates sort out their problems one-on-one.

Here, they're like a pack, all barking to the top dog's tune.

Now, I'm suggesting we unpick that.

Well, there can be a virtue having a leader who keeps the women under

control. Bea Smith, for example, has a very strong anti-drug stance.

It's good to have a go-between we can work with.

Hey,

you've got Nash. Leave me a message after the meeting.

Nash, it's me. I really need to talk to you.

Look, phone time's nearly over, but I'll call tomorrow morning right after

breakfast. I love you.

I miss you and Josh.

Bye.

Thank you for coming.

No one knows here, Gary.

Please.

I guess you need money for the doctor's bills. Oh, honey, no. No, no, no. I'm

happy to pay for whatever you need.

It's really generous of you, Gary, but it's not necessary.

Well, then why did you ask me to come here?

There is something you can do for me that I wanted to ask you.

Quite seriously, almost.

I mean... No, no, no, don't.

Don't get emotional here, please.

I want you to talk to your sister and ask her to go through with our

arrangement.

You're not serious.

She wanted to have a child too, and I thought if she still wants to...

Are you delusional?

Gary. Have you forgotten that you stabbed me with a pair of scissors?

Rachel thinks you're a fucking nutbag.

I thought... I thought if you'd forgive me, she would too.

I think the hormones may have affected your brain. Because you're acting like a

dumb blonde.

Now, I won't pay for the treatment.

Send me the details, but that's it. Carrie. Do not contact me again.

Carrie, please.

I assume that arsehole was your former partner.

You okay?

I heard how he spoke to you. You and your gang have said worse.

Yes, we have.

And it won't happen again.

Maxine, I guess it's taken until today for me to

see you as a woman.

Wow, so Gary's done me a favour.

I want to make up right with you.

Offer you my support when and if you might need it.

You're offering to have him bashed.

Well, you know, I still have my contacts on the outside.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Kaz, about what you just said to Maxine.

And she wanted my help. Can you believe that? All over cheating boyfriends.

Your work never ends.

Except one, but I want to help one of these. It's crude.

Do you notice Anderson's reaction to the incident in the yard yesterday?

Yeah, she was protective of the girl.

Her faith in Bea Smith is eroding.

I'm sure she could use a friend right now.

Miss Bursworth.

Don Kaplan, homicide.

Don't hold that against me. Yeah, look, I know who you are, and I've already

told the governor. I'm not interested, so... Okay, Elizabeth.

No, no, Liz.

I hate Elizabeth.

Okay, Liz.

All right.

Look, all I want from you is just a couple of moments of your time.

Is that all right? Please, sit down.

I don't know why you insisted on seeing me, because I'm not going to change my

mind about it, so... Okay.

Liz, do you have kids?

Yeah. I've got a girl 19 and a boy 14.

You must miss them. I bet you can't wait to get out of here.

Well, you got that bit right.

Seen her before?

Yeah. Yeah, I know her from somewhere. Where?

Sonia Stephens. Oh. She inherited her husband's cosmetics empire.

But we suspect there's a bit more to it than cosmetics.

But you'll be finding out for yourself in the next couple of days.

We've charged her with murdering her best friend.

All right. And you expect me to find out where the body's buried?

Look, there's an aspect to this case that I think you'll appreciate.

Yeah? It's the children of the victim who've lost their mum.

And without the body, they've got no closure.

Yeah, that'd be bloody awful.

And you're going to get your kids back, Liz.

And if you help us get the information we need...

It could be a lot sooner than you thought.

How?

Well, we've done a deal with the DPP.

You'd be eligible for immediate parole.

Oh.

Yeah, but I'd have to testify in court.

You don't have to make that decision right now.

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

All I want from you now is just to think about it.

That's all. Then if the answer's still no, understood.

You won't have to see me again.

It's been a real pleasure meeting you, Lisa.

Righto.

Hello, Tasha.

I thought you missed breakfast.

You must be hungry.

Not really.

You're afraid to go out, aren't you?

In case the other inmates give you a hard time.

I think it's wrong what happened to you.

Whoever was behind this should be punished.

If you tell me who did it, I can help you.

How can you help me?

Well, I can make sure you're put into protection so they can't get to you.

I did it to myself.

I know that's not true.

It was Bea Smith, wasn't it?

What are you doing here?

Just checking on her.

Well, I'm here now, so she'll be fine.

OK.

See you later.

What did he want?

I don't know.

You never talk to the truth, you hear me?

We're going out to the yard. No.

Your hair will grow back and then they'll leave you alone.

You can't hide in here in the meantime.

It'll be okay.

Have some chips?

Yeah.

Hey, go buy yourself biscuits or something.

You must be starving.

Stick it on my account.

I got the info you wanted.

That was quick.

Drive up, check the letterbox.

And?

Your bloke and baby are shacked up with a woman and another kid.

Already?

Playing happy families, according to my contacts.

Did you get her name?

Mail address to a Miranda Watson.

Are you sure?

You know her.

It's his ex.

That's his ex-partner. They've got a bloody kid together.

Hey,

Anderson.

Phone time's over.

Settle down.

You can call again tomorrow.

Hey.

Look, about Tasha.

I was just trying to protect her, okay?

Yeah, well, you can't.

I brought you something to keep your head warm.

Thank you.

I'll tie it for you.

What happened to you?

Last time I was locked up, I tried to nick myself.

Didn't work well.

Looks good.

I must be finding this a little overwhelming.

I'm scared I might do something wrong, you know?

Make another mistake.

I can imagine.

Prison life is a bit of a minefield, isn't it?

I'm scared of the guards, but the other prisoners are worse.

Between a rock and a hard place, both wanting to crush you.

Now that you have been branded a lagger, no prisoner will befriend you.

Doreen's been looking after me.

Really?

Where is she?

Ran off somewhere.

I don't understand.

She wouldn't want to be getting too close.

I mean, Stuart's okay.

Stuart? God.

God, that was the cops.

You try to seek their protection, they will just use your information and throw

you to the wolves anyway.

Bloody hate cops.

Yeah, you can't trust them.

I don't know what to do.

Hopefully you have a thought center.

Heaven, yeah.

God.

Look, I know that must feel like a lifetime.

And God knows you must be feeling very alone, you know, so far away from home.

With no friends, no family, no support.

But in time...

Lucy will turn her attention onto somebody else.

Until then, you just gotta hang in there.

Hey, what are you two wandering around on your own, love?

You know it's not safe.

Come up here and watch a telly.

Boomer!

You right, love?

Not you, her.

These are the best bloody... No, no, shh, shh. This is before he... My

brother and I would like to appeal to the person who's done this to please

tell us where our mum is.

Oh.

It's just awful to think that our mum might be out there somewhere alone.

If anyone knows anything, we beg you to please help us.

If you have any information... Call Crime Stoppers on 180...

Doctor,

I'm your visitor.

Sweet. Hey, did you get him?

You asked for these doors, okay?

G'day, Bea.

What a cask of you. See for yourself.

The fuck, Dawn? You went to Cass for these?

Bloody oath.

I couldn't get on to Frankie and you weren't going to do anything, were you?

What? You just brushed me off.

Paranoid, you said.

Look, you don't ever go to Cass again, understood?

Fuck.

Come in.

Liz, great to see you again.

So, you've either been thinking about my proposal or you really like my company.

Well, you certainly have a knack for ingratiating yourself.

I do my best.

Now, it was the kids that were on the news last night. Are they the ones you

were speaking about?

They are.

Sonia Stephens' name wasn't mentioned, but I felt it in my bones that it was

the same case.

Well, your bones are very accurate.

You're right for this, Liz.

I just know you are.

I don't know about any of that, Tom.

I want to help them. I want to get out of here faster. I just... What's holding

you back?

Let me be perfectly honest, I'm really tired of getting involved in other

people's crap.

And what happens if something goes wrong and she comes after me?

It's not your neck on the line, Don. It's mine.

You won't be alone, Liz. We'll be in this together, every step of the way.

Look, I'll be there for you as often as you need me. That's a promise.

Where's Josh?

He's with Miranda.

Oh, that's bloody great. You've got five seconds to give me a reason to stay

sitting here. OK.

Mia's autistic.

What? My little girl.

At least that's what I think's wrong with her.

Mash. Yeah.

So Miranda and I had to spend some time together dealing with this and she

really needed my help.

So that's how it came up about the spare room and I just thought that we could

help each other out.

Why didn't you tell me all this in the first place?

Because I only just found out myself.

And I didn't want to spoil our time together.

I'm not happy about you lying to me.

And as for the living arrangement, this is a game changer.

Josh will think he's the mother of that family. And where does all this leave

me? Just calm down, all right? There is nothing wrong. I miss him.

I miss Josh.

And I don't know whether he's happy or he's hungry.

Or if he needs his nappy changed.

I know nothing.

And it kills me.

It's okay.

Josh is fine.

I'm taking real good care of him.

It's the best option.

Trust me.

Still need to think about it.

Liz? Liz?

Where is everyone?

What are you doing?

Oh, God, that's terrible, the poor thing. So where is she now?

They've taken her to psych unit.

The doctors are with her. Is she going to be okay?

Nurse Ratched said she will.

Bloody hell, imagine getting the kiss of life from the freak.

She must have thought she'd died and gone to hell.

I reckon the freak saved her life. I wouldn't have known what to do. I had no

idea she was that close to the edge. I felt terrible.

Oh, no, no. It's not your fault.

Whose is it? Well, women have mixed feelings. Some of them think Bea should

never have punished Tasha. If she'd let it slide like you did, none of this

would have happened. There's not much we can do about it now. No, that's right.

Are you sensitive?

What?

Boomer and I were thinking, what if you take over? Yeah.

You don't want Bea to hear you talking like that.

Forget it. That is the last thing I need to be burdened with. You'd be really

good.

We'd be really good together.

You know, you and me, eh?

Why don't you do it? All the women think you'd be much better. Yeah, just think

about it, Nick. Because I have cancer.

You said you were clear, love. Sorry.

What happened?

I found a breast lump.

Where's they?

Not sure.

Yeah, good question.

She know about Tasha?

Yeah.

I obviously put too much pressure on her.

Well, you want to know how psychologically fragile she was.

I put her in a no-win situation.

Anderson tried to warn me off.

You were doing your job.

I was too going home.

You were only trying to protect...

Excuse me, Governor. You told me to alert you. The brawler's arrived.

Yes, thank you.

I would like to propose a toast.

Joan.

That was an amazing effort.

Here's to Joan for saving a young woman's life.

What we women do, we look out for each other.

Well, of course none of this would have happened if Bea Smith hadn't enforced

her stupid bloody rules.

Apparently we're not the only ones who feel that way.

I've been hearing rumours of a possible permanent takeover.

By who?

Conway.

Lady?

I'm just going to loo. Sure.

Bert's with.

Who?

Ah, this is Sonya Stevens.

Sonia? I'm putting her in your unit. Can you help her get settled in? Les is

going to look after you.

Thank you, Elizabeth.

And don't forget to fill out your visitor request form so there's no delay

in your family visiting. My husband's passed away, so... No kids?

Fortunately, I dodged that particular bullet.

Okay. This way, please.

Back the shoes.

Can you tell him I'll do it?

Can I come in?

Well, you're already in.

So, I've been hearing rumours.

What rumours? That you're planning to step up.

Is it true?

I can't believe you'd even ask me that.

Might as well go to the source.

Have I ever been disloyal to you, Bea?

Even when I don't agree with your decisions, I have never gone against

you. You think that I would go behind your back.

All right, I was just... You can't barge in here accusing me of this shit. Calm

down. No, no, no, no. I delayed treatment to hold the fort when you

asked me to. That's how loyal I was to you.

It's okay. It's not okay. It's too late. Now they have to fucking cut my breasts

off.

Oh, Maxine.

I'm so sorry. I had no idea.

No.

But the damage is done.

Thanks for being half-decent this afternoon.

It's good to have a boss who's... caring.

Night, Vera.

There.

Got that and pizza.

I think so. There's an extra dessert for Maxie, eh? Will you?

Hey.

Hey.

Is Boomer eating for two?

Have I missed something?

What?

You're just not here for us, Bea.

What?

It's bad enough you stuffed up with Tasha, but it's even worse what you did

to Maxine.

Doreen. Excuse me? You knew she had cancer, and yet you made her delay

treatment.

Holding on to power is more important to you, isn't it, than the life of your

friend? Yeah, all right, I knew.

But I didn't know how bad it was.

What the fuck do you mean I don't do anything for you?

Everything I do is for you, Gilda.

Right, what's up?
