I think they're trying to pause the prize witness. I don't know who it is. I

do. We'd like you to submit a written statement and to appear in court for

cross-examination.

Okay. I know that wasn't the sentence you were hoping for. You will have 12

long years with Bea Smith.

Fuck you!

Fuck!

I'm angry at the fucker who put me in here.

I've decided to have the operation.

You take care of Jessica.

I'll handle her. What are you going to do?

Kill Bea Smith.

I'm not gay.

I don't care what you are.

You care about me.

So get back with the count.

I'm done.

Hey, thank you. Thank you. You're the best. You're a legend.

Look

at

Dog. I bet you she's real bored.

She looks bored, eh?

Yeah, she does.

Well, I hear Cass makes 20-minute speeches every day.

What about?

Power and oppression.

You reckon Dawes has got postnatal depression or something?

No, mate, it's postnatal depression, not oppression.

Well, she got it or what? No, no.

So, uh, you can see I made the equipment room real nice for you.

You shouldn't have.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

It's too soon for that.

I got it.

No, no, no.

It's not too soon. I...

Would you want to just sit down for a bit?

Yeah.

Yeah, that'll be good.

So, how's your day been?

Dispense any justice?

If I want to just talk, that's going to be okay. No, no, it is, it is.

It is, of course it is.

So what were you into before all this?

What do you mean?

What do you think I mean?

I don't know.

What were you into?

Into you.

Oh, all of a sudden I feel like I've got two left hands. Okay, all right.

How did you do it?

Just kissing.

No hands.

Left alright.

It's better if you don't know too many details.

When the time comes, I may need you to perform certain functions.

Like what?

The red-white hand has never actually killed someone. It's not what we do.

We agreed on this.

She's taken 12 years from you. If you're women, that's their childbearing years.

That's just gone.

Their lives stolen.

If it were not for her, none of us would be in prison at all.

Don't you want justice for them?

What

do

you want?

Like a word, please.

Piss off, you lone piece of shit. I would like to make an inquiry.

I'm interested in your service.

Well, we don't deal with governors.

I'm not a governor anymore.

Doesn't matter. Fuck off.

Wait. Wait.

Stand there.

Consider it a goodwill gesture.

I know I'm prepared to triple it.

That's three times.

What do you want?

Rohypnol. Preferably sick tablets.

It's technically known as... Roofies?

You want roofies? That's something you can access.

Maybe.

But that would be quadruple.

That's... Four.

Thanks.

Speak tomorrow.

Me? No, maybe. We will.

And as Maxie's, um... ..support

person, I would help the nurses at the hospital and the screw and the...

But really, I'd just be wanting to hold Max's hand and, you know, just being

strong.

But, you know, you wouldn't want to be alone with this kind of stuff.

Max wouldn't deserve that.

OK. OK.

Thank you, Jenkins. That was very sincere.

Yeah.

And considered. And I will contact the regional director immediately.

Yeah. OK?

I'm just suggesting you keep your expectations in check, that's all.

Yeah.

OK, well, thank you. Thank you for listening to and thinking about

everything that I said.

Oh, no, I had more stuff.

It's stuff that Lizzie told me. No, you conveyed your point perfectly.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Should I...? Yeah.

Is it really that unlikely?

The history of Wentworth inmates in public hospitals is, to put it mildly,

unfortunate. Did they say anything?

Yeah, I said they've got to talk to Charlie.

Is that even real, Bea? Or is that just something they say?

It's probably real, though. Yeah.

Well, I didn't cry, so that's good. That is good, love. Yeah.

Even if they say no, I'll remember how hard you tried.

Okay. It means the world to me.

Shh.

Oh, Hannah.

Oh, Hannah. It's okay. I'm okay.

Come, let's pack bags.

It's still two days away.

Yeah, we're going to practice pack. Come on. Yeah, yeah. That's a good idea.

Go on.

I'm fine.

Thank you. It can get a little bit upsetting, can't it? All that talk about

cancer. But you know what? Don't be embarrassed.

Because you are looking at the biggest sook in the prison.

I lost my husband to cancer.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry. I had no idea.

How long ago?

Seven years. Seven years this August.

How old was he? Fifty-seven.

That's all.

The hardest part was that he disappeared, so I never got a chance to

say goodbye.

Disappeared? He didn't want me to see him suffer.

Anyway, you should be back with the ladies.

Yeah, if ever you want to have a chat with a sook.

Got the money?

I'd like to see the tablets.

Money.

Don't, don't, don't, don't.

Come out. I need to go. I need to go.

I have to go.

And this time I've got an excuse. I really do have to go. Just 20 more

seconds.

Okay. Get in.

Are you actually working towards telling anyone?

Or do you think we're going to stay in here forever?

Making out in the closet.

It's difficult for me.

It's not exactly easy for me.

I'll be telling my entire crew I'm with the person who shopped us, so... What?

What?

Kaz reckons you shopped us.

Okay.

I don't give a fuck about what she thinks. What do you think?

I don't know.

But if he didn't, he did.

I've got no idea.

Anyway, it doesn't matter to me. Hang on.

I don't know anything about it, okay?

Okay. No, you don't believe me.

B. It doesn't matter to me. Well, it matters to me.

I don't do it.

Okay.

Fine.

Hey.

Same time tomorrow?

Come on.

I'll think about it.

You're so gonna be here.

You see, I've made a couple of small edits.

Some of your comments about Ferguson, I mean, they were technically speculation.

So it's still a very clear and strong statement.

But it's 100% certain that once I'm identified as a witness, she goes back

into protection?

As requested.

It's in writing.

I need you to do something else for me.

What? I needed to track down some information.

You can't keep cutting deals.

That's how it tends to work around here. Look, look, look, I'm sorry. I really

cannot facilitate your requests like this.

Okay.

Fine.

Just tell me it's not a helicopter.

Any light-headedness?

Not currently.

It seems to come and go.

Jesus is great.

Oh, yeah, I'll be in stockpiling.

Booms, they do feed you in hospital.

Yeah, yeah, you can have treats, though. I'll check with Nurse Ratshit and I even

got Monte Carlos.

Best wishes, Maxine. Fuck off.

Just wanted to convey my best wishes.

Now fuck off.

Hey, Booms, you been approved yet?

I will be. Fuck off!

Oh, I see.

I haven't heard back yet, but it is going to happen, all right? So fuck off!

Come on, Booms, ignore her.

I wouldn't be terribly optimistic, I'm afraid. It takes a certain amount of

backbone to negotiate with Mr Channing. Fine, Burns, ignore her.

I'm not so sure that Governor Bennett is up to the task.

Hope I'm wrong.

Sincerely, just let it go, Burns.

Let it go.

Yep.

Maxine Conway is departing for treatment. It's confirmed.

If I can get Jenkins out of the picture, it'll happen after lunch.

Today?

Lee Smith will be dead by 3 p.m.

What's the matter?

I think now is perhaps not the best time to be having a crisis of conscience.

I can't hear the woman.

You're not.

You won't be able to hear it.

You're just creating a distraction.

One day, it will come down to just you and her.

And one of you will die.

It's inevitable.

All we're doing is just making sure it's not you.

What do you need?

Sorry, I have a migraine coming on.

Bridget Westfall.

Come in, come in.

Excuse me,

I don't know if it's urine or wet towels, but I can't seem to get rid of

it. And they've confiscated my perfume. Oh, it's the alcohol in it. I'm hardly

going to drink it.

No, not you.

Now, I'm just checking in to see how you're settling.

Well, look at me. I'm a wreck.

Actually, I think you seem quite composed.

Oh, please.

No, no, really. A lot of prisoners find it very difficult to adjust.

Well, I'm not planning on adjusting. I'm not planning on being here long. I have

a company to run.

That might be a tad difficult from in here.

There are two kinds of women in this world, Bridget.

There are the Hammonds...

And there are the anvils.

I have never seen myself as an anvil.

I bear in mind that you might be spending quite a lot of time with these

women. Hopefully not, but it is a possibility.

Fuck.

Well, I like Liz.

She's personable, like a sort of nice tea lady you might stop and have a chat

with. Yeah.

She's probably my best friend in here, I think.

God.

Sad statement, isn't it?

Governor says you're going well.

Really? Yeah. Says Sonia's really latched onto you.

Oh, well, she sticks close to me, but I think that's just because I'm a bit less

scary than some of the other women.

Oh, she said something about her husband.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't much, but she said he disappeared, right? He

got cancer and then he disappeared.

Right. If you can go into any detail.

Did she mention that it was a murder investigation and that she was one of

the suspects?

No. We suspect her involvement.

There was no cancer diagnosis ever recorded. It was just Sonia's testimony.

No body was ever found. And then she got off because her friend Helen provided

her with a false alibi.

Helen is missing. We suspect that over time Sonia got paranoid that Helen might

confess. So she had to get rid of her too.

Serial killer.

I hope this isn't too unnerving for you. I'd hate to undermine your progress

here.

No, no, no. It's all good.

Yeah. No, Sonia, she's fine. Like, you know, she's a bit sniffy and she comes

across a duck up. But once you get to know her, she's actually great.

Yeah.

What's your cover story for those meetings?

Oh, I've just seen the prison...

All right, he's got a new rehab program, but don't get me started, because she

abbers on and on about my deep anxiety, my low self-esteem. Oh, God, she's such

a bore. She's got to get out more. That is excellent.

Mate,

I should have cooled off before getting in the shower. I'm still sweating.

Mate, you do realise the woman used the stuff from two hours?

Yeah, I know that.

There's no one here except you and me.

So, Governor Bennett, what's the dealio there?

The dealio?

Yeah. Is she single?

Married to the job.

Is she like guys or girls? Men, as far as I'm aware.

Are you sure?

She had a thing with an officer.

Male officer.

She seemed, I don't know, a bit sort of stitched up for all that.

Mate, she's a governor. Show some respect, eh? Yeah, no. I mean, no

disrespect, of course.

I'm just... I'm intrigued.

Put some pants on, eh?

Yes, Mum.

Hey.

You ready, Conway?

Unfortunately, Jenkins, your application wasn't approved. I'm so sorry.

The security concerns were too great.

I know this is disappointing.

I am really sorry.

I am really sorry.

Here. Oh, no, Booms, they're your biscuits. No, take them.

Take them. I don't need them. I love you. I love you, Maxie. You're right on.

I love you.

Hey,

Booms. Hey.

Call me, okay?

You remember.

Remember what I said, okay? Tough and brave.

Tough and brave.

Yeah.

She'll be right.

Okay, I've got to go.

Okay.

Oh, good luck, my darling.

Oh.

Oh.

Thank you. Thank you.

And Ali, you go for it.

Of course, Jenkins.

Maxine! I thought you were going to help me.

You're so strong, okay?

Thanks, Doris.

I'm sorry.

Did the governor blame it on security concerns?

She's pathetic.

Shani would never have said that.

Thought she even asked him.

What? It takes real strength to make a case for the regional director.

But she'd rather abandon Maxine than do that.

You're weak as piss, Vinnie, you dicks!

Weak as piss!

Slaughter.

Jay Jenkins.

No. No.

Come on. Fuck off. I shouldn't. She didn't even ask.

She didn't even ask.

Oh, my God.

I've got to ask.

Vinnie gets used to it.

It's just a stupid nickname.

We all get names.

Linda just smiles.

It just seems so, you know, at odds with you.

Hey, love.

Ridiculous.

Barely know Maxine.

Do you want a biscuit?

Plenty of Monte Carlos.

Must be bloody awful not knowing what happened.

With your husband.

Oh, sorry.

You don't have to talk about it. You know, the day he told me, it was just a

matter of fact about it.

God. And I fell to pieces, of course. Then he kept saying, let's not get

hysterical. Of course you did, love.

And then, in the early hours of the morning, I took some sleeping pills. We

both did. I thought I just needed to lose consciousness.

And I woke up.

At dawn.

And the bed was empty. He was gone.

And that was it.

Jesus.

You know, my worst moments, I think, was it even true?

Did he just want to end the marriage? Was it just some elaborate plan to get

rid of me?

I won't.

And then, of course, I feel this hideous guilt for him considering that.

Bea, you called for this session.

Perhaps you'd like... You all... You have relationships with women, right?

I think you know the answer to that. Have you always?

With women?

No. In my 20s, I did date men.

Do you call yourself bi or whatever?

Well, it doesn't matter what I call myself.

But I will say this. I think a lot of women who identify as lesbian have had

relationships with men at some point.

What about...

Gate gay.

Do you think it's real?

What do you mean real?

Bea, we've not discussed your perspective on love and relationships.

You know, looking into the future, it's actually conceivable that...

Bea.

Where are you going?

I think I'm done here.

You know, I've known a lot of women who identified as straight and

who fell in love with a woman and panicked. And to those women, I always

said, forget the terminology.

Just be in the moment and see how you feel.

Because if you've fallen for someone, then fuck the labels.

to stop being such a bloody whorehead.

She can't even ring that scene now.

Every time I ask her, she keeps making me do cute things.

I don't know. I think sometimes you have to tell the truth.

How could you do that?

Are you tired?

No, it's conceit. It's a really big backyard.

It is.

Anyway, and that's it.

And of course my mind's racing.

And I shall not say that.

Forgive me.

So you just gave up on Maxine, did you?

Not worth the effort.

What? Don't listen to her, love. You let a woman leave this prison for a double

mastectomy with no fucking support.

What kind of leader are you?

Why don't you just go back and sit down? Well, maybe it was deliberate.

Everyone here would rather have Mac been a top dog. We all know that.

Maybe you'd be happier if she was dead.

before. Sit down, Smith.

Sit down.

Sit down, ladies.

What was that?

Making a point about Maxine.

Bea, she's not worth love.

She's asking for it.

Look, love, I don't want to tell you what to do, but please.

Don't end up in the slot like Boomer.

Then I'd be in charge.

And then we'd be really fucked.

Wouldn't we?

has a woman.

Personally, I can't see why anyone would follow her.

Seems completely deranged to me.

Perhaps in private she's more engaging.

Yeah.

I've just got to check on something.

Can you do me a favour?

I suppose.

Ali, come with us now.

Why? What's going on?

Put that down. Come with us.

We're making a stamp of methane, all of us united. Come on.

We're all making a stand protesting for Maxine having to go to her operation

alone. Oh, I don't think so, love.

It's not about Cruz or anything.

It's for Maxine. No, I've got to ring Soph.

And quite frankly, I don't like the way Kaz is using Maxine.

Sierra 5, this is Sierra 2.

Come in, Sierra 2.

Proctor's on the walk path again. There's a posse of women heading your

way.

Copy that. I'm seeing it now.

Lee? Lee, I'm in here.

Lee, I'm in here.

All right, Proctor. We're here in unity.

Maxine Conway, already a victim of abuse, but today sent away for a double

mastectomy. Alone.

Okay.

It's just another example of the inhumane treatment of the women.

Look, we've got a lot of women here waiting patiently. If you want to

support Maxine, sit with us.

Demand respect.

Well, Mr Stewart, it looks like we're all in agreement.

Maxine's hardly alive.

She's got the support of a nurse.

She's got the support of an officer. Yeah, real comfort, that is.

He's not getting anywhere.

She's stopping the women from taking their medication.

That's more than enough justification for the slot.

You wait here. Look, if we break this up... I would rather not inflame things

between you and Proctor.

Sierra 5, this is Sierra 2.

Come in, Sierra 2.

I'm on my way down.

Why? This... is in solidarity with Conway as a doctor?

Absolutely.

You can't speak, can you?

Muscles around your throat and jaw.

In fact, all your muscles will be heavily affected.

Maxine Conway, who right now would be being prepped for a double mastectomy.

Totally. Alone.

Your central nervous system will be slowing, your heart rate falling.

So to support Conway...

You're disrupting other women's access to their medication.

You know, Bea, if you stop fighting the heat, all the tension and

anxiety just goes away.

Unbelievable.

You begin to feel a... a magnificent...

That's it.

Just let yourself succumb.

This should only take a minute or two. Sorry, the government... I really just

need to get Bea Smith's signature on her statement, and I have something she was

after.

Why are you still struggling?

Governor, if you leave it much longer, the methadone girls are going to start

fucking up.

There are only two ways to die in prison, Bea.

You could fall victim to an attack, be left to bleed in some filthy

corner.

Or far worse,

you could die.

We'll call the women needing medication up to the desk one by one. Well, I don't

think you should be working around here.

OK, where are we up to on the medical list?

Consider watching everyone you love, Liz, Maxine,

even your mum, watching them all leave you one by one.

I just need one minute with B Smith.

Well, if you'd like to leave the paperwork, I can't just leave it.

You delude yourself that the relationships might endure, but you

become a tiresome obligation to them.

All the painful memory.

Nothing at all.

She asked me to source something, a call recording.

What's the call?

The call that put Karen Proctor away.

And then, after a painful eternity, you would fall prey to cancer.

Heart disease, perhaps?

I don't know.

You would die an old wretch.

Yes, with some consolation, I'm calling to report a crime. Who am I talking to?

I'm an inmate at Wentworth Prison. I have some relevant information.

Your legacy forgotten.

Just vomiting yourself to death in a barren cell.

Can I borrow this? What are you doing?

Look what's just been right here.

I hope that you can see this.

This peaceful, silent passing is a victory for you.

And she's already doing that for you.

Have you been let out of the play, Mr. Jackson?

Ladies, listen.

This is my gift.

Would you like to hear the call that puts you away?

Fucking! I can't! I don't know what to do!

What am I doing?

No, no, I didn't, no!

He's just not breathing!
