Original subtitles

She was a troublemaker in the UK as well.

Strictly no contact with the outside world. No phone privileges, no visitors.

You know that surgery you said you wanted? How much is that going to cost?

40 grand.

I've got contact from the outside who could raise that if you do me a favour.

I want someone killed.

Ruby Mitchell.

I've got a present for you.

Try it.

But this shit can be cut with anything.

We need to fucking help her!

Alright everybody clear out! Go and make some room!

We found your laptop.

We will be charging you with terrorism offences.

We have the power to hold you.

Indefinitely. Saw you at the Dole office.

I thought you were a cat for a minute. She disappears and you turn up using her

name. It's not a coincidence.

You got police?

This someone's been attacked.

I give you...

She presented with severe head trauma, skull fracture.

She underwent surgery to remove the hematoma and release pressure from her

brain. We assumed her name was Kath Maxwell, based on a health card she had

with her.

What's the prognosis?

Well, she's been comatose two weeks. With brain trauma like this, it's

impossible to know.

She might never wake up, or she might wake up tomorrow.

Do you know who she is?

Sorry for the late notice.

I'll keep it brief, but I have a very important announcement.

The decision has been made to close the protection unit immediately.

As you know, we have to reduce the budget and the staff-to-prisoner ratio

in protection makes the cost of running it prohibitive. The bad news is there

will be staff retrenchments.

The good news is that it won't involve senior officers.

When's it happening?

Listening ears, Deputy Governor. I said immediately, so today.

Mr Jackson will oversee the prisoner relocation.

Thank you for your time.

This is a huge mistake.

I heard you the first time. I want my objection noted in a writing, please.

What about you, Vera?

Would you like to make your objection official? It doesn't have to be so

sudden. Could you give us some time? There is no time.

In a week, I have to present to state ministers and the press.

I have to show them real fiscal evidence of how we are rationalising resources,

especially since that disaster with the food supply.

And I'm not blaming you, OK?

We're a team here, so let's make this work, yeah?

What a fucking nightmare.

Now I've got to tell Novak and get her onside.

Who's going to tell Winter?

Is this a joke?

It's a directive from management.

Look, it's up to us to make sure it happens with our incident.

Us? As in you and me? I need you to make it clear to the women that these ex

-protection prisoners are off limits.

You seriously want me to help you after you bugged my cell? I told you, the

authorities had a special powers warrant. We had no choice. We had to

cooperate. Yeah, well, I do have a choice, and I don't have to cooperate.

Ellie, we need to work together on this. You bugged my cell!

I can't work with you if I can't trust you.

Wait, this doesn't include Mari, right?

Tell me that she's not being released back into general.

Are you going to guarantee Ruby's safety?

Winston's retracted her statement against Mitchell. Yeah, and what if that

was just a trick?

I'll tell you what I'm going to do, Governor.

I'll guarantee the safety of every protection unit prisoner.

Except one.

Mari Winter can take her chances.

There are four types of oppression.

Personal, interpersonal, institutional and cultural.

Yep. And there's also the shit that happens in here, eh? That's

institutional things.

Yep. And then there's, like, the oppression of, like, Daz rooting me

sister.

And Trina, like, rubbing me nose in it.

That's personal.

Oh, yeah, I know, but I don't want to talk about it. You don't?

What? Too much.

No, it's fucked.

Hey, I'm meeting my lawyers today.

Lawyers? Yeah, more than one.

Knowing my dad, they'll be the guys who got OJ off.

The spooks will shit themselves.

You hear that, assholes? You will shit your pants.

Yeah, you'll shit your pants, assholes.

All right, what's up, your bum?

Screws are closing down protection.

Moving them all into general.

What? No freaking way. Even the kitty fiddlers.

What about Mari?

Oh, shit.

Who's Mari?

One basket each.

What you can't fit in, you can't take with you.

When are we moving? I told you, this afternoon.

Oh, this is fucked up. I'm sorry, you must have me mixed up with somebody who

gives a shit.

Oh, yeah.

But this doesn't include me, does it? You're not that special.

You and I both know that me going back into general is a death sentence.

You got what you wanted.

Last week you couldn't wait to get back in there.

Yeah, but that's when I wanted to die.

Hurry up, Winter.

Oh, God.

Do you have a second?

Sure.

Hey, I know it feels like I sprung this on you, but it was always part of the

plan. Sorry you planned this from the start.

Yeah, well, you don't get where I am by flying by the third of your pants, Vera.

Right, well, I wish you'd told me maybe before you entice me back to work.

You know my mandate.

Bring law and order back to Wentworth. Slash the budget. Make the prison pay

for itself.

Closing protection will hardly bring order. It will be chaos.

Possibly, for the short term.

So how does that fit your mandate?

We're not in the business of pandering to lawbreakers, Vera.

It's not a zoo, Anne.

They are not animals. They're people. Who have committed crimes. And they are

in here paying for. Our mandate should be to send them out into the real world

better people. You've spent most of your career in a bubble, Vera, and I haven't.

I have actually been out there in the real world where the public want to see

criminals pay for their crimes. We still have a duty to protect them. As far as

I'm concerned, when they broke the social contract, they forfeited their

right to any form of state-sanctioned protection.

All right, well, you're forgetting another thing.

This decision puts the staff in danger as well.

Sorry to interrupt, the police are here in the Governor's office.

They want to see Ms Bennett.

Bennett?

Detective?

Please, come in.

I'm sure what I'm going to tell you will come as a shock.

Joan Ferguson is alive.

I'm sorry, what?

She turned up in a hospital.

Alive, but in a coma.

It's hard to believe, I know.

Well, yes, given.

She was found dead in a box, buried in the ground.

We've known for a long time that it wasn't Ferguson in the box.

DNA analysis told us that. You did not tell us that. We didn't tell anyone.

We didn't want that information getting out.

We wanted Ferguson to relax, let her guard down.

We were trying to lure her out.

And we have.

Just not in the manner we expected.

Right.

So, uh... Why are you here? Just to inform us?

No, not just that.

We need a formal ID.

That can only be made by someone who knew her.

She doesn't have family, though.

Can you tell me who that is?

Am I going mad?

Didn't we all see her dead fucking corpse?

It wasn't her.

Ferguson had a fake ID on her in the name of a Kath Maxwell.

The fuck is Kath Maxwell? She was a homeless person.

After she escaped from the box, Ferguson must have killed her and put her in it.

They used Maxwell's sister's DNA to confirm the match. How did she get out

of the ground?

It's me.

I need your help.

Listen to me very carefully.

Police think she contacted Murphy just before her escape attempt.

Murphy? They found Ferguson's fingerprints in Brenda Murphy's house

when they searched it after Channing shot her.

Murphy probably...

followed Will from the depot and watched him bury her.

And then what? They came up with this plan to extort her?

Which involved putting someone else in that box.

So when we panicked enough to go and dig her up...

There'd be a body in there. That looked like her.

Why didn't she just take off after Murphy was killed? She was trying to get

money together.

They arrested the guy that assaulted her. He had a backpack with nearly $30

,000 in it, which they think was hers.

Maybe she'll never wake up.

Mustn't have got the memo.

What is it, Linda?

We're about to move the protection prisoners.

Did you forget about the meeting you called?

Oh, thank you.

The prisoners will be put in units with women who don't have any historical

grievances with them. If you'd like to refer to your schedule, you'll see where

they are to be relocated.

Where's Winter going?

H, um... H5. That has prisoners that weren't involved in the siege.

It wasn't just prisoners in the siege.

All officers must be vigilant to avoid any incidents.

That means particular focus on winter.

Any questions?

Are the rumours proved?

Word is Ferguson's alive.

That last time you were eating hummus for a stick bag.

Hey Slattery, killed any kids lately?

How'd it go with your lawyer?

Fucking legal aid.

Yeah.

One, I need to call my dad.

They won't let me use the phone.

I don't know whether to be relieved or feel guilty about Ferguson.

I'm relieved I'm not a murderer.

Is that wrong?

Of course not. Yeah, but I've dumped us in the shit there. She's... Mr Jackson?

What is it, Novak?

Judy Bryant?

She should be allowed to contact her father. It's an abuse of her human

right. Bryant's been held on terrorism, Jack. There's a problem with her lawyer.

Which means no contact on the outside world.

I get the severity of the charges, but she's hardly more than a kid.

Well, maybe I should arrange a phone call under supervision.

No, no, no.

Don't you do it. You won't get it past Anne.

Hey.

You smell the fear on him?

Okay.

Let's think of it.

You really stink.

I don't know if I want you sitting next to me.

Sitting next to your new mate, Murray.

You know, I knew we had a mouse problem, but now we got rat train.

Creepy critter.

Hey, you should get up real close to her, because critters like them small,

don't you?

Clean that up, Wynter.

Fucking Wynter!

I warned you, sod.

Couldn't keep it in your gut.

You've got five minutes. Hey, Bun.

Hey, you miss me?

Oh, God, I miss your face.

What are you... How come you're still in here?

Hey, Stan.

Can Rev come back to the unit with me? She has to spend her first night back

from hospital and medical under ups. It's protocol.

He, he, he has to spend his first night in medical.

That's what I said.

I can't live as a man.

I don't want to live at all.

I'd rather die.

Shut up.

Dumbholes. You all talk.

At least Mum did something.

And look where it got her.

The first duty of a revolutionary boom is to get away with it.

Right.

So, how many died in the Siege of Maury's? Well, Mr Brodie shot two

people.

Costa and Boomer's mum.

So Ali shot Mr Brodie in the head.

That makes three.

Hey, Ellie.

When are we going to make a move?

Well, I've already shot her, babe. But if you want to have a crack, go for it.

This place, you guys, it's like some fucking mafia movie.

Godmother. What?

Shit.

and under guard in this hospital.

We'll report back later as further details emerge. No way. No fucking way.

Who's Joan Ferguson?

No fucking way. No fucking way. No fucking way.

Mrs Stewart?

Hard to believe, isn't it?

Had to see it with your own eyes?

You've got to laugh, though.

I mean, how incompetent is Derek Channing?

If the guy had any balls or brains, he would have killed her first.

Made sure of it.

If she wakes up now, we get her statement, we'll charge him with another

attempted murder.

Idiot deserves everything he's going to get.

I wonder what's going on inside that head of yours, John.

Snap out of this.

Melange.

Right now.

Don't you dare succumb to the darkness.

Hey! Hey!

Stay with me. Without me, you're nothing.

You're worth nothing.

You're a victim.

Remember who you are.

Say it. Very good.

Say it.

Say it. Say it.

Get the fuck out. Ali, please, just let me explain, all right? I want to make

everything right. Get out!

I don't want to hurt Ruby.

I don't. I was wrong about her, about Danny.

I know that now.

I'm so sorry. No, fuck you.

You don't get to apologize.

But I need you to understand something has happened to me, Ali. I don't give a

shit.

Do you want me dead?

Is that what you want?

Really?

Because you had the chance to kill me and you didn't.

Please, Sally.

Please.

When the women come for you, I won't stand in their way.

I'll cheer them all.

She's in a coma with a head injury.

If something happened, they wouldn't autopsy her.

And I've got to do it.

I fuck up, so it's my responsibility.

We've got to sort something out to save ourselves, to save Vera.

You asked for Brian? Yeah, I did. I'm in, Brian.

You've stayed out of trouble for a few days?

You're lactating.

Oh.

This is cute.

It's a phone.

It's one of those old-fashioned desk types.

You can use it to call your father.

It's 11pm in London.

It's a supervised call. It has to stay on speaker.

Dad, it's me. It's Judy.

Judy, where are you calling from?

I'm still in prison, Dad.

They haven't let me use the phone.

I'm calling because there's a problem with the lawyer.

What lawyer?

Yeah, that... They won't let me see the lawyers you've hired. I haven't hired

any lawyers.

Christ, Judy.

An act of terrorism.

No, Dad, I was set up. They planted that stuff on my laptop to frame me.

I'm sorry, Judy. I just... I don't believe it.

Come on, you know I would never do anything to hurt people.

Releasing secrets?

That hurts people.

Do you have any idea the embarrassment you've caused me? That's not what I was

trying to do.

Trav?

Yeah.

Yeah, so what did you find out? Is she as cashed up as you claim?

It worked out like that in ages.

It was deadly.

Hey, what's wrong with you?

Nothing. What, I'm punching too hard?

No. Then what?

No.

What is it?

I've got to pay Murray back.

You can't do anything dumb, Booms.

Trust me,

Mara's not worth it.

No, because, like, that's the funny thing, eh?

Like, after what I've done to Liz, I'm cactus.

Like, I can't get no more time, can I?

So, you know, I might as well be the one to take her out for good.

For Liz, then.

I still love me mum, you know?

Like, and probably always will, as if.

Is that weird?

Look, your mum couldn't handle the grog.

And I hated the way she treated you, but... Yeah.

I know what you mean.

And Lizzie.

What happened in that siege thing? Like, it probably helped give her the stroke,

hey? We don't know that. No, cos I keep thinking, like, she might still be here

if, like, that didn't happen.

Alright. Hey.

Grab that bag.

Hey? Go over there and hold the bag. Come on.

Yep, that's it.

Look at me.

This is Mari, yeah? So whatever you're feeling in there, you put it out over

here, yeah? So watch me. You just go whack, jab, and it's Mari. You're

punching Mari's titties. Left titties, left titties, left titties, right

titties, left titties.

See?

I knew I'd get a smile out of you.

It's because you're a dick.

You'll be all right.

Yeah. I've got to go have a shower.

Okay. Catch you later.

Bye.

Hey.

What's up?

I promised I'd take care of you, huh?

Who was having you?

So I had traveled looking to that Murray winner, checked that off at the pay-for

-your-surgery, and it turns out that she owned Brussels and shit. She's got to be

loaded.

Mitchell's just gone to the shower, and I don't reckon there's going to be

anyone else in there. Ruby Mitchell, I can do this for you, but I've got to

move now. What? No.

Everything that you want to be, I can give you that.

All the shit that's gone wrong, I can fix that for you in an instant.

I want you to be everything that you want to be.

If you'd rather die than not live like... You're not a murderer. Hey, I

can do this.

Let me do this for us, for you.

You check with Mario, right? What? No, no, no. We do not do anything until I

check with her.

I mean it.

Okay.

Okay, but you've got to hurry. I'll meet you by the shower. Okay. Go.

Wait, wait, Mari.

Flag's in the air.

Hey, we'll do two things, all right?

What deal?

That's not what I want! Come on, baby, we gotta go right fucking now! Get out

of my fucking ass now!

Get out of my fucking ass now!

Jesus,

come on, baby, we gotta go now. Now, now, now, now. Come on, baby, we need to

go! Now!

I'm going to come over and have another play soon.

What's on the wall there?

Can you see something on the wall?

I can't see on the wall, though. What's on the wall?

What's there?

Is that a flower?

What is that?

Ready to go?

Yeah.

It's okay.

I have been such a selfish...

She's made me realize that I'm not the most important person in my world.

I finally got something that I care about more than anything.

I think Grace is very lucky to have you as a dad.

Lucky you found her when you did.

She's my guardian angel.

Yeah.

What's up with Mitchell?

A blood liquid.

Jenkins found her.

Oh, wait.

Escort Jenkins back. No hurry.

Okay, thanks.

Yeah,

no, I just want to check. All right, great.

Hello again.

Now, I'm going to give you 24 hours to come up with that money that you

promised, Rev.

40 large.

You see, I told you.

I changed my mind on that.

Okay, I can run with that. You forget Mitchell. If you don't come up with the

cash, I'll kill you instead.

You see, I don't have any money.

I lied to Reb when I told her I did.

Oops.

But I got Jack's shit. So you're just going to have to kill me.

Good luck with that.

Attention compound.

Council commences in five minutes.

That means you, Jenkins.

Move it.

Come on.

Keep moving.

In you go.

Let's go. Standing by yourselves on the couch.

Hey, where's Ruby?

In medical.

She had a fit.

I am.

I walked into the showers just when she was having it. Lou and Mari were in

there. Now I'm trying to stick a shiv in there. Degan, by yourself.

Yep.

Let's leave that there.

Everything's okay. No, no, no. We're just in a hospital.

We need to pack now.

I'll get the baby. We need to leave.

Are you sleeping? What is going on? She's awake.

Ferguson.

She's awake, Vera.

How do you know? I was there at the hospital.

I went there to hot shot her.

You what? I was doing it for Grace.

For us.

No, I mean for me.

But she woke up. She woke up right in front of me.

Just shove whatever you can in the car. I'll get Grace.

No. We need to leave. No. No. We are not going anywhere. Not tonight.

But Vera. Jake.

Go home.

We will talk about this tomorrow.

What if? Nothing is going to happen.

She looked right at me.

No, no, no. No, I understand.

Okay, thank you.

She is conscious.

But the hospital can't tell me anything else right now. Apparently the, um...

The police are talking to her now. Oh, fuck.

That's it.

We're done.

We're fucked.

We should have left last night.

No matter what, Vera.

We'll protect you and take full responsibility and leave you out of

this. Yeah, of course.

It goes without saying, Grace needs a mum.

Well, that's all very well and good.

But what if Ferguson has a copy of Murphy's photo, the one with all of us

by the grave?

I wish they'd hurry up and take you out so we can all get some fucking plates.

Don't worry, you mightn't have to wait too long.

Fucking liar!

Kovac's in the slot.

We can't keep her there forever. Sooner or later, that feud will continue.

Vera, I've been a bit snarky with you, and I'm sorry.

Do you forgive me?

I do know how stressful this place is.

There's nothing to forgive, Anne.

Sorry.

I have to get this.

Thank you, Miss Miles. You can wait outside.

Thank you, Miss Marlowe.

Kelly.

I've got a proposition for you.

Oh, you want to take me out to dinner first?

I want you to take Mari Winter and the other ex-protection prisoners under your

wing.

Guarantee their safety.

I can't afford another incident like today.

And I know your reputation in here affords you some power and that you have

ambition for more.

So think of it as a ready-made crew.

Oh, of freaks and fucking weirdos.

Who have been marginalised because they don't adhere to the norm. Ah, cool. Yep.

Also, I want you to keep an eye on Bryant.

Report to me anything of interest. I want you to be my eyes and ears on that

side of the bar.

OK?

So, uh, you, uh...

You want me to lag for you, hmm?

And what do I get out of this other than a bunch of carny folk and a shit

sandwich? I'm willing to let Keane resume her HRT.

And I'll be a sympathetic ear to her desire for top surgery.

I know how much you love her.

Him.

I got caught up in visitors. Couldn't get away.

What is it?

What's happened?

I got a call from Detective Collins.

He wants to meet me at the hospital immediately. He didn't say why.

Just you?

No. Fuck that.

We'll all go. If this is it, we face it together.

I agree.

I was only expecting Miss Bennet.

But that's fine, since you're here.

John?

You recognise these people?

No. And I told you, please don't call me Jan.

My name is Kath Maxwell.
