Police want our help with a case. A woman's been charged.

Sonia Stephens. We charged her with murdering her best friend. If you help

us get the information we need, it'd be eligible for immediate parole.

Liz, we'll show you the ropes. Thank you, Elizabeth.

Can you tell them I'll do it?

How could you do that? I think this stupid system

of punishing like this has gone ridiculous.

So, I've been hearing rumors that you're planning to step up. I delayed treatment

to hold the fort when you asked me to. That's how loyal I was to you.

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

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. Everything I do is for you

girls, you fucking cow.

Your lawyer's here.

You came all the way down here to tell me that?

Better you've learnt nothing about delegation.

You look like the cat that got the cream.

It's only a matter of time before I walk out of here.

We'll prevail.

Yes, I'm sure it will.

The Crown's case hinges on the testimony of Neil Jesper, your former associate.

Alleged to the first ship. Please don't waste my time with repetition.

I asked you here for an update.

Well, they're being vague with details, stalling information.

Which, in your professional opinion, means what?

I think they're trying to pull a surprise witness.

Someone whose testimony will support Jasper's alleged activities.

I don't know who it is.

I do.

You want me?

Yes, Mr Jasper.

has admitted that Ferguson summoned him to the prison to attack you.

We'd like you to submit a written statement for the Crown. I've already

made a statement to that detective.

And to appear in court for cross-examination.

Your identity will be protected until the trial.

She'll have no idea this is coming. Come on, Smith.

This is Ferguson.

Your testimony can help keep her behind bars. If it wasn't Ferguson, I'd be out

of this room already.

So you'll do it.

On one condition.

Once the trial starts, she goes back into protection.

I'll request to the board that we... I won't be doing anything until I get a

written guarantee.

I want her gone.

Hey.

Hey. I've been looking for you.

Vitamin A.

For your scarring.

Thanks.

You alright?

Yeah.

Just dull stuff, you know.

Well, if it's Doreen, forget about it.

There's plenty of other people here who care about you.

Yeah.

Any developments?

She's just had a meeting with her lawyer.

She doesn't look so cocky now.

What does the lawyer reckon?

Sentencing hearing is in two days, so if I only cop 18, you guys will get

released with time, sir!

I can't believe it!

What the fuck's happened to Joan?

I don't know.

She's not talking.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How'd it go?

Not so good.

What happened?

Just something's come up that I'm going to have to deal with.

Tell me.

I'm being victimized.

By who?

Somebody I shouldn't have trusted.

And now he's conspiring against me.

With B. Smith.

You're fucking kidding me.

Proctor, random drug tea.

You can't leave me alone, can you?

Let's move.

Governor.

Transfer of papers for Kazim and Leonie.

You've been avoiding me. Give me the papers.

I could get offended.

I'm going for a drink after work if you're interested.

to get a few things straight.

What happened in the lift was grossly unprofessional and tantamount to sexual

assault.

Wow.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

That certainly wasn't my intention.

I guess I misread the signals.

There were no signals.

I am the governor of this prison.

Yes, of course.

I understand you are upset and that's the only reason I didn't give you an

official warning.

You can go now.

Hey,

any for me?

No.

Miss Moss, how's Tasha doing?

Last time I saw her, she was in a backless gown, handcuffed to a bed, so,

you know, not great.

Can I see her? I want to help.

Pressing the panic button.

Fancy a cup of love or a chat?

No, thanks.

There's a lot of negative energy in this place.

Yeah, especially since you rocked up.

Where'd you hide the body?

Lished up, didn't you?

You might want to help me with the cleaning.

That way some of the women might be nicer if they see you helping out.

They've already made up their minds about me.

They actually think I'm capable of killing my best friend.

Well, don't worry about what they think.

I've got you.

Thank you, Elizabeth.

Yes, please.

No, I'll just keep my head down until the trial.

Do you know, if you want to blend in a bit more, it might be a good idea to

change out of your fancy threads.

I said I'd keep my head down. I have no desire to blend.

So what were your first impressions?

She's a stuck-up cow.

So you've already bonded then? Oh, yeah, we're totes besties.

Oh, wow, that's good.

That's the best coffee in town. It's from my favourite shop.

Lukewarm, but good.

You play your cards right, Liz.

I'll take you there for a hot one when you get out, OK?

Oh, I don't know how that's going to happen.

Because Sonia's not paying much.

That's all right. Just give her time.

Just stay close to her and listen. The way to get people talking is to let them

fill in the silence.

I hate silence.

Try a scroll.

No, I'm watching my weight.

Well, for me then.

Really fresh.

You're a bad man.

Good, huh?

Is Kaz in a cell?

No, just me.

You like a cup of tea?

No, thanks.

You still don't trust me, do you?

I'm just here to talk to Kaz about the Panic Fountain rule.

Beast with unwritten rules.

She didn't make the rules.

But she does enforce them.

I don't think the women should be punished for asking for help.

I agree.

So do a lot of the women.

But unless somebody makes a stand, nothing will ever change.

Don't argue. It's good for you.

Where did you disappear to? Oh, I'm sorry, love. I had to go and see the

prison site, Miss Westfall, because she's doing a whole series of new rehab

programs. She wants me as a guinea pig.

Oi, Dawes.

How's the Addams family working out for you?

Leave her alone, Boobs. Leave her.

Oh, what the fuck does she talk to Ferguson about anyway?

Glove shopping?

Yeah, that's good.

Minnie Mouse, that was fucking funny.

Thanks.

Shrek?

Now that's fucking funny. Shrek!

Oh, she's coming, she's coming, she's coming.

Here, can I have a word?

It's about the panic button rule.

A lot of the women aren't happy. If we're being threatened, it should be

okay to call for help.

If anyone's got a problem, they come to me like they always have.

I don't press the button.

If Tasha hadn't have read it... Rules are rules. They're not your rules.

You just inherited them. Exactly.

Whatever issues we have, we sort them out ourselves. We don't involve the

truth. Sorry, but I disagree.

That was shitload of us.

What the top dog says goes.

Okay? That's fucked.

Welcome to prison.

What are you doing?

I'm doing my job.

Helping the women.

What you're doing is making things difficult for me.

We're supposed to be mates.

Yeah, well, mates listen to each other.

Is this about Nash?

It's got fuck all to do with Nash.

You still don't get it, do you?

Well, I won't let you keep stirring shit up.

So what are you going to do, eh?

I'm serious, Doreen. Come on, what are you going to do?

We don't need an audience.

I respect your right to choose your friends.

I respect your right to even challenge me.

I don't know what Kaz has been feeding you, but... I can think for myself.

We all can. We don't need you deciding what's best.

The panic button was put here for our safety.

And if you don't let us press it, then that means you don't give a stuff about

our welfare.

It's not true.

Don't do that to her. What if I do? What are you going to do?

Bash me?

You're going to burn my hand? What? Come on. I want to...

Yeah, well, thanks to you, we have to stay back and check every single unit.

This is a security breach, lady. If someone was hurt, we wouldn't know where

to start looking.

Won't happen again, Mr Jackson.

8 block clear.

Bea, I should put you through the war.

Go on, then.

You want to hang out with the freak?

You'd be my guest.

But don't you ever, ever disobey me again.

What's going on, Dore?

Do you feel guilty about Tasha?

What do you think?

I think you must be pretty messed up to get involved with Kaz and Ferguson.

At least I'm not offensive.

Sitting on a fence gives me a really good feel of what's going on.

You're a beast.

She doesn't look perfect. No, she's not.

But you're not like them.

You never used to be.

Oh, love.

This place changes people, even you.

Being in charge is a tough gig.

I wouldn't bloody want it.

No one wants it, that's the point.

The women don't want anyone in charge.

Last night wasn't an accident.

If you can't control the women, we're going to have a problem.

Did Ferguson have anything to do with it? She had nothing to do with it. She's

not a problem.

She's planning something. I can see it. Why can't you?

I can see the crack, Smith, and that means Ferguson can too.

You need to remind everyone who's in charge.

She's right, you know.

Well played last night, Doreen.

You did the right thing.

Women aren't happy.

You all right?

What are the women saying?

I guess.

I do.

They all reckon that Doreen did the right thing.

button rules out the window, yeah?

The rule stays.

Really?

Only it seems the women have spoken.

Last night was an accident.

Anyone tries that shit again, they'll have me to deal with.

Why, you hear that, ladies? What Queen Dee says goes, even if it's not what the

majority want. Shut the fuck up.

If you have a problem with the rules, then let's get it out in the open.

If you don't want a top dog anymore, then speak up.

Come on, let's vote.

Hands up.

Let's take a vote right now.

Who doesn't want a top dog?

Then what?

They get shivved?

No.

No. No repercussions.

They don't believe you. Just shut up, Kaz.

If you really want to do this, I'll do a blind ballot.

Every woman gets her say.

No intimidation.

It's me.

Let's just vote now.

We don't need a top dog. Shut the fuck up, you big hairy lezzo. All right, how

do we do this fairly?

Three women take the vote.

One from my crew.

Liz? Yeah.

One from yours?

I'll take them.

And we need someone neutral.

What about Sonia?

She's a newbie.

Why not?

All right?

Good.

Here, spread the word.

Here, we take the vote for Savo.

The other blocks can vote in their rec time.

You sure about this?

If the only way I can shut it down.

Yeah? And what if you move?

Are we seriously allowing this?

It's a smart move. It forces women to put up or shut up. What if they vote no

top dog? This place will be a war zone.

Smith wouldn't have done it if she didn't feel confident.

She's not herself.

No, she hasn't been herself since the fire and the women noted.

Proctor is taking advantage.

Smith will shut it down.

Let's go over those induction reports.

Right.

Women's prisons sure are different.

While for blokes who'd just be kicking the shit out of each other.

So, this Bea Smith, what's she like?

Well, she's good for the women.

A lot of junkies are cleaned up thanks to her.

Do you have protein powder on that?

No. A body like that doesn't come for free.

Just hard work and discipline.

Mate, I got into this great supplement last year. It's all natural.

Good energy boost.

I can get you some if you like.

No, I'm good.

Reckon you need it more than me, though.

Listen, if you want the position of top dog to continue, you stick a tick.

If you don't want a top dog, it's a cross.

Yeah?

Okay. No top dog cross.

Yes, top dog tick.

Okay. Yes. Three hours later.

You can only vote once.

Nice try, though.

Who the fuck are you?

Oh, I'm in for murder.

You? Sonya's in charge of the count.

Yes, and you've already voted.

Tina Mercado.

Good job.

Nice one.

I reckon you and I make a good team.

Cross means no, top dog pick means top dog, Lorraine.

Yes.

Thank you.

Well done.

I'm just running up the girls to vote.

Oh, yeah, I'm doing it later.

Okay.

You feeling all right? Yeah, just tired.

When's your operation?

Because I've been talking to people and, you know, you've just got to cut that

shit out because it can just go everywhere.

Yeah, honey, I'm not sure.

Well, just remember, when it does happen, I'll be there for you.

Thanks, Boots.

All right, I'll let you sleep. Okay.

Bye. Bye.

Hey, V.

You want me to make sure that all the women are voting for you? I can have a

few quiet words.

Leave it, Bo.

I won't touch them or nothing. It'll just be verbal effects.

I said no.

Come on, spit it out. What is it?

There's still no date for Maxie's op.

So I was thinking maybe you could have a word to Vinegar Tits and find out, you

know, what the hold-up is. Sure.

Oh, awesome.

Tough.

Doreen.

Come and take over the theme press.

Come on.

You want a taste of democracy?

Not a chance.

Shut the fuck up.

Shouldn't you be out there campaigning or something?

What? You want to know a secret?

Yeah.

I don't want to win.

Hey. I'm tired.

I can't give anything for the quiet life.

It's not going to happen here.

Anyway, I'm not here about me.

Apparently no date's been set for your op.

I'm not having it.

My breasts are part of who I am.

No one's taking that away.

Yeah, but if you don't have the surgery, then... I'd rather die.

You can't mean that.

I lived in the wrong body, Bea, for 32 years of my life, OK?

I woke up every single morning wanting to tear it off like it was an ill

-fitting suit, to step outside it.

And just be me.

I'm finally happy to be with who I am.

And nothing, no disease is going to change that.

Go on then.

Talk me out of it.

I'm voting for no top dog.

But you can go fuck yourself.

Oh, Juice, we don't need your life story, love. Just put it in the bag.

Lucy Gambaro, J Block.

Any time you want to get out of those pricey undies, just let me know.

Back off, Juice.

God.

Is she always so repulsive?

No, sometimes she's just disgusting.

That's worse.

Yeah. Can I have a word?

Yeah.

OK. How's the boat going?

I reckon I've seen half the votes and there's more crosses than ticks.

What happens if she loses?

Liz? Yeah? We're going to education.

Yeah, right-o.

Come on.

You're doing the tally after dinner?

Mm-hm.

Cross your fingers.

She might not have a personal life, but I do.

I've been trying to hook up with this guy for weeks.

It wasn't Vera's fault they pressed their panic buttons.

She knew I had a date and she kept me on and sent Jake home. She's playing

favourite.

I needed my most experienced officers on site.

Not that I need to explain myself to you.

Can you let the officers know that I'll be calling an early master after dinner?

What for? Last night's fiasco can't go unpunished and I need to claw back the

overtime.

Maybe you could reschedule your quote-unquote date.

It's not funny.

Nice tie-up. Thank you.

F-block.

F-block, please.

Hey. Hey, that's Kate. Did you talk to Vinegar Tits about Max here?

No, not yet. I'll do it in the morning.

All right, ladies. Everyone back to your units. We've got an early count tonight.

How come?

Because it took the officers hours of overtime to check your units last night.

If you waste our time, you pay the price.

What about the votes we've put together in front of everyone?

I don't care about your sandpit politics.

You can do that in the morning. They're not taking the bag back to their unit.

They'll rig it. Yeah, well, you're not taking it. We'll lock it in the

observation box, then you can get back to your units. Yeah, are you happy with

that, Mel? As long as you can't get to it.

Let's go.

You are a naughty girl.

I beg your pardon?

You're not as straight as you pretend to be.

I had to collect the shift report.

Yeah, and your curiosity got the better of you.

Get back to work.

Hey, whatever you're doing, it's none of my business.

Correct. I'd hate to put you in a compromising position.

I've got backup in case this turns into a riot.

I don't think we have any cause for concern.

You're confident?

Cross.

Pick.

Pick.

Pick.

That's all of them.

Right?

So if you had those all up, OK, so for no top dog, an extra two, it's 122

votes. And to keep the top dog, it's 243.

That's enough.

You want to fucking go, Liz?

I said that's enough!

Shut up!

We're done.

I don't want to hear any more crap out of anyone here.

It's over.

But get your asses back to work.

I'll clean that up.

Unbelievable how naive that woman is. Is she insane?

Or does she honestly believe we're that fucking stupid and can't tell that that

boat was rigged?

She has just made her life a living hell.

She needs to be taken down.

Forget about it.

I got my sentencing today if I get outside of my girls.

I'm not jeopardising that.

Come in.

I heard about the result.

You must be pleased.

This is a written warning for your inappropriate behaviour and

insubordination. Two more of those and you're out.

Fair enough.

I'll take the punishment.

I'll take anything you can dish out.

What is with your timing?

You always come when I've got my pants down.

Sorry, it's my sixth sense. I can hear pants dropping a mile away.

Look, I was coming to congratulate you, but I'll, um... No, no, come in.

Let's pop a bottle of shampoo and celebrate.

Oh, shit.

You wish you'd lost.

How is everything?

It's better.

Mercy. It's Miss Radcliffe to you.

Yeah, whatever.

I want to make a complaint.

About what?

Maxie's surgery.

No, they're keeping us waiting for a date, and it's not fair.

So can you ring the fucktards at the hospital or something?

It's not up to them.

Well, can you talk to Miss Bennett? Or, like, to the doctor?

Or, you know, whoever it is that makes the decision?

It's Maxine's choice.

He can... She cancelled the surgery.

No.

Why would Maxie do that?

Hey. Hey.

Nurse Ratched reckons that you don't want the surgery.

So you've got to come and set her straight.

Maxie, you've got to go out there and tell her.

Hey!

Stop painting your fucking nails and listen to me!

You've got to come and tell her!

She's right, Burns. I'm not having the surgery.

What?

Why? I fought all my life to be like this, honey, and it nearly killed me.

And I can't give that up now.

No.

No, you know.

You won't have to.

You know, just because you have the op, it doesn't mean that you won't be, you

know, you won't be you.

It's not just about losing these.

There'll be chemo, and I can't take my hormones, and I'll change.

So you want to die?

I'll end my life on my own terms.

You'll be dead.

Do I?

No.

If you don't do something now, you will end up in the fucking ground.

Hey, maybe I'll beat it. You can't die. You can't die.

You can't die. Listen, darling, darling, look at me. Look at me. Boom. We just

have to be brave, baby. No, I'm not brave. Yes, you are.

I'm sorry.

It's my choice, Boone. Well, it's fucking selfish!

You are a selfish bitch!

Hey, come here. No! You don't mean it. I don't! I hate you! Come here, come here.

No!

No! No!

Welcome

back,

Proctor.

I know that wasn't the sentence you were hoping for.

You know the drill.

I would think wisely about how you're going to spend your time here. You can't

rely on Ferguson because she won't be here.

Whereas you will have 12 long years with Bea Smith.

It'll take 12 years to get out of this room. Are you done?

H1 is out of milk.

You just like hanging out with me.

No, we're really out of milk.

No, you really like hanging out with me.

So I heard about CAS.

12 years, that's pretty harsh.

Yeah.

So what does that mean for you?

Well, might have to get used to having me around.

I don't feel like you have to crack a smile or anything.

I wouldn't wish this place on anyone.

I'm leaving Tessa's crew.

Why?

You know why.

Nothing's going to happen between us.

Okay. Sure.

I'm going to be up front with her.

Tell her I'm joining you.

I don't really hate you.

I know.

But you are right about one thing, Sue Jenkins.

I am selfish.

I've had to be.

Most of my life, the only person that cared about me has been me.

I care about you.

I even love you.

Like a little bee, you know?

I know you do.

That's why I've changed my mind.

It's going to be tough, but... We both... We both need to be brave.

But I'm going to have the operation.

You know, I'll... I'll go on the hormones.

Yeah. I'll go on the hormones either way. Yeah.

Yep, yep.

Yeah, and you can still get any titties, you know, if you want.

I mean, do you reckon they'll let you have some of mine? Because I've got

heaps.

It's not about me, it's about the others. They're going to be gutted.

If I'd just been given a 12-year sentence, I'd be pretty pissed off.

Yeah, you fucking would.

You could appeal.

Or I could fly to the fucking moon.

How are you feeling right now?

A long sentence can be a shock to the system.

Especially if you're not expecting it.

You're angry with the lawyer, yeah?

You're angry at yourself.

You don't have to pretend with me.

I mean, who the fuck are you putting me in here?

We all heard the news.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

You know what this means for you girls, don't you? Yeah.

Better make ourselves at home.

You're an idiot.

Fucking mess in here.

Mum,

I need to talk to you about something.

B. Smith.

Yeah, I was telling Ali I wanted to have a word with you.

Can you give us a minute?

I heard about your sentence.

The bitch.

Go, I just want to know that we don't have a problem.

No problem. Good.

Good.

Because the woman has spoken, so we're just going to have to live with it,

okay?

You're not to say a thing. Why? What are you afraid of? Meet me in the kitchen in

ten minutes.

Not quite so much top coat, Susan.

Don't call me Susan.

Tonya made her fortune out of cosmetics, Boone.

It's like a million bucks.

A bit more than that. You fancy a cuppa? No, thanks. The water smells like

Vietnam. Yeah.

You all right, love?

Oh, love?

Come here.

What's up?

Oh, darling.

Hey.

I'm not okay.

And have you called Nash?

I've been too upset.

Well, you're going to have to call him.

And you're going to try and work it out.

Yeah?

Yeah?

Good girl.

See you. See you later.

Governor.

Hey,

Nash, it's me.

How are you? You all right? Good.

Hey, listen, I want to meet Miranda.

Why did you stop me telling her?

Because it's too dangerous.

I'll be even more of a target for Kaz and the freak.

They're fine.

I'm used to that.

But I don't want you getting caught up in the crossfire.

I'm not scared.

I've got you to protect me. No.

Everyone I care about ends up dead.

What did you say?

You care about me.

We should get back to the camp.

You're shaky.

It's cold.

this side of the bios, emotions are intensified.

So easy to lose yourself in love or lust or despair.

Because the alternative is just to wait and watch your life take away.

Twelve years is such a long time, Kenneth.

Make it count.

Stand up. Lead the women.

Lead them the way you lead the red right hand.

But our business runs this bridge. She's the governor's fucking pet. She's not

invincible.

Why are you even here in general, Joan?

What do you want?

That man I told you about, the one who's going to testify against me.

I need him taken out.

Permanently.

Because without your star witness, your whole case collapses.

He's a serial rapist. He's been preying on women for years and getting away with

it. His name is Neil Jesper.

I know about him.

He's the guy B. Smith asked me to find right before I got arrested.

We both have an enemy.

You take care of Jessica.

I'll handle her.

What are you going to do?

Kill B. Smith.
