Loose Ends

1 I believe in you, Liz.
Stevens.
Brawler's ready, let's go.
Oh.
I'll see you all tonight, then.
Wish me luck.
We can't even be seen together! It's over.
I don't accept that.
Good luck, Liz.
Well, maybe that's it.
You never really trusted me.
I'm just a bit of rough trade.
Fuck off! I put it to you that your entire statement is a work of fiction.
Why did you lie? Were you coerced into this? They're going to charge you with perjury.
It carries a maximum sentence of 15 years.
I gave you a chance.
(PANTING) I can help you.
- Ferguson didn't kill him.
- What? Who did, then? I thought the answer was in here, but it's not.
It's outside and there's jack shit I can do about it.
Today, justice has been served.
There's no escaping this place, is there? (FOOTSTEPS ECHOING) (THEME MUSIC) You don't know me, when I don't know you You don't know me, when I don't know you You're calling me in.
You're catching me out You're calling me in.
You're catching me out You're calling me in.
You're catching me out You don't know me, when I don't know you (GENTLE MUSIC) - (WHOOSHING FLOURISH) - (ECHOING AUDIO) (HELEN LAUGHING) - HELEN: Ooh.
Oops, sorry.
- (BUZZING) - I'm getting a bit pissy here.
- (SONIA CHUCKLING) (SIGHS) That's okay.
It's a very brave thing you're doing.
(CLIPPER BUZZING INTENSIFIES) (FOREBODING SOUNDSCAPE) Do you want another glass? In a minute.
I'm nearly finished.
There.
Done.
Wanna take a look? I don't think so.
Just take a photo for Marion and I'll send it to her.
Cheer her up, poor love.
- Oh, my God.
- (CHUCKLES) Your hair will grow back.
And your sister will so appreciate the solidarity, hmm? God, I wish I could do more.
But the treatment has chewed up all our savings.
There's just nothing left.
You want more money is that what you're saying? HELEN: (ECHOING) Well, we could certainly use it.
You know, I've been a very loyal friend to you.
I've kept your secret all these years.
I'm not giving you another cent.
HELEN: But poor Marion.
If poor Marion got a real job instead of trying to write that ridiculous novel HELEN: Be careful.
I'll go to the (ZINGING THUMPS) (THUDS) I don't respond well to blackmail.
(DARK STRINGS WITH PIANO ACCENTS) (LIGHTS FLICKING ON) But I don't understand.
What on earth possessed you to give false testimony? I just wanted an early release.
Well, you realise if you're convicted of this perjury charge, you'll have extra time added to your sentence? Oh, God, Liz! Right, well, you've only got yourself to blame.
(SIGHS SLOWLY) DOREEN: What if you say the police made you do it? Oh, no.
(SNIFFS) Nah, I can't do that, love.
Why not? It wouldn't be the first time they fitted someone up.
This is my fault.
(SIGHING) I have to deal with it.
Well, you better bloody hope none of the others find out.
(HUSHED) Oh, fuck! (DOOR BEEPS UNLOCKED) Yeah, Sonia didn't do it and now she's out.
Pity we're still stuck in here, but.
(SCOFFS) I can't believe she got off.
I mean, I always thought she did it.
Well, you'd be wrong, then, wouldn't ya? So much for that Witness X, eh? (SCOFFS) You don't think it was Maxie, do ya? - No, Boomer.
I don't.
- Nuh.
Who do you reckon it could have been? Dunno.
Biggest lagger ever.
Lagger and a liar.
Hey, you've seen Franky this morning? Nuh.
They've set a date for the committal hearing.
God, that was quick.
They're not dicking around, are they? I'm sorry, Franky.
I guess they think their case is airtight.
Look, I've been having a think about who would possibly benefit from Mike Pennisi's death.
Now, he would have got a huge compensation payout from that cooking show, for his injuries.
Yeah, well, I'm sure the agent would have filed a a claim on his behalf.
So can you track that and find out how much he got? Possibly, but I don't see where you're go There would be a beneficiary of his will, and maybe - that person didn't wanna wait - Oh - till he died of natural causes.
- Franky, Franky, the police would have gone over all of this.
- You're clutching at straws.
- But you could check with probate and find out the names of the beneficiaries and how much they got.
We don't have the resources for this, Franky, I'm sorry.
Come on! There would have been someone who stood to benefit from Mike Pennisi's death.
You could at least offer them an alternative suspect.
Fuck.
I could do it myself! Hey.
- Hey.
- What's up? Oh, date for my committal's been set.
Sooner than I thought.
- (SIREN WHALES) - ALLIE: Oh, shit.
Think the cops have a case? They're so sure I did it, they're not looking for anyone else.
(MOODY MUSIC) No, I'm going to have to get a lawyer, - 'cause I cannot cop - Liz.
any extra time on my sentence, - Don.
It'd kill me! - Liz.
- Liz, listen to me.
- Oh, what? I can sort this with the DPP.
You don't need to get a lawyer.
I just need a couple of days - to sort this.
- Yeah, well, what about Sonia? She's out there.
She's free.
- What if she comes after you? - W-what's she gonna do? - Bite my ankles? What - Oh, Don, please, - take it seriously.
She knows - Okay, all right.
you had it in for her.
- Yeah, I know that but - Yeah.
I'm not scared of Sonia.
- I'm not worried about Sonia.
- Oh, well, famous last words.
I'm gonna put a few things in motion.
And we're gonna get this sorted, okay? I'll be back here tomorrow with an update.
- You don't need to panic.
- Oh.
Just hang in there.
You've been so brave.
Just hang in there.
We're nearly there.
- All right? - Yeah.
(SIGHS) I'm hangin'.
(DOOR BEEPS UNLOCKED) MALE GUARD: Hey, Cath, have you looked at the latest roster? - Birdsworth.
Got a message - Yeah? - to pass on to you from Stevens.
- Sonia? - She copped a lucky break, eh? - Err She wants you to give her a call.
- Here's her number.

You know the drill.
(ECHOING DRUM BEAT) (MUSIC ENDS) - (SNIFFLES) - (INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER) - LIZ: Shit.
Shit! - (DOREEN SIGHS) - What's the matter? - (BREATHING SHAKILY) Oh.
Sonia.
She wants me to call her.
She must know I'm Witness X.
- Hang on, how could she know that? - Well, I don't know.
The cops must've leaked it.
But why else would she want to talk to me? (SIGHING) Plenty of reasons.
She thought you were her best friend.
Yeah, and we know what she does to them.
You've gotta make the call.
- Are you nuts? - Nuh.
'Cause if you don't call, she'll wonder why, and then she might figure it out.

So how can I help you? I want to apply for a transfer, to Perth.

Okay.

Severe chest pain's what I heard.
Yeah, n-no, it was indigestion, love.
They did all the tests and everything, but they they just said it was Indigestion.
Yeah.
Can't say I'm surprised.
I reckon Juice is suss.
- Juice? - Mmm.
- Nah, you're being paranoid.
- Am I? Eugh! - INMATE: Oh! - That is fuckin' disgusting! I wouldn't feed this shit to pigs! - (JEERING) - It's shit! So it's not your favourite, then? - INMATE: Disgusting! - You are disgusting, Doyle.

(JEERING SUBSIDES) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (MUSIC ENDS) (CALLING TONE) (SIGHS) - (CALLING TONE CONTINUES) - (LINE CONNECTS) - SONIA: (OVER PHONE) Hello? - Oh.
S-Sonia, it's Liz.
Liz! I'm so glad you called.
You got my message, obviously.
Er, ah, yes, yeah.
(OVER PHONE) I just couldn't wait to tell you the good news.
I have been completely vindicated.
All charges dropped.
Oh, wow, that's That's amazing.
I m I mean, you deserve it.
Er congratulations.
And you'll never guess.
You know that mystery witness I was so worried about? Y-yeah? (OVER PHONE) Just as I said, liars always come undone in the end.
- Oh.
- Completely fell apart in the witness box, my barrister said.
He decimated her.
Reduced her to a blithering idiot, by all accounts, although he claims it wasn't that difficult.
(CHUCKLES) Oh, I'm really happy for you, Sonia.
(OVER PHONE) Thank you.
I knew you would be.
So, I thought I would come by and visit No.
No, no, I-I don't reckon that's a good idea.
(OVER PHONE) I mean, you you don't belong in this world, Sonia.
You know, you should you should get on with your life, and put it all behind ya.
You know, forget about this place.
Oh.
Well, I do see what you mean, I I suppose.
You're right.
But Oh, dear, what a shame.
There's someone at the door.
I have to go.
No, that's okay.
That that's perfectly fine.
Now, make sure you come and see me when you're released.
I will look after you.
Great.
Thanks, Sonia.
(OVER PHONE) Bye for now, Liz.
Bye.
Bye.
(SIGHS DEEPLY) (SIGHS) Did you come alone or did you bring the force with you? - (CHUCKLES) Cute.
- (SONIA CHUCKLES) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (MUSIC ENDS) I've just had a call from the tradesman who was here yesterday.
He wants my number? He called to report a missing shifting spanner.
It's possible one of the prisoners has stolen it.
Cell lockdown or cell toss straight after breakfast? You read my mind, Mr Jackson.
If it is in this prison, I want that shifter found, preferably before it's used to part someone's hair.
So, any leads on whether it was malicious damage to the tap? Ah, the CCTV showed nothing, Governor.
All right, that's it.
(SIGHS) - Um, Bridget? - Mmm? Just so you know, I've shut down that business with Ferguson.
(HUSHED) I appreciate that.
And thank you for what you said to the Ombudsman.
I've decided to, ah, keep my distance - (WHISPERED) from Franky.
- (MELANCHOLY MUSIC) You know a lot of women here rely on you.
Myself included.
(MUSIC ENDS) Heads up, Mercado.
There's going to be a cell toss - any minute.
- Shit! If you're holding, you'd better get rid of it.
There's not much left after Proctor cleaned me out.
- I lost big time.
- You have to write it off.
- You'll have to bring in more gear.
- No, not now.
It's too hot in the kitchen.
Well, I can't leave work unit now.
So get pinged.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
- Get my stash.
- What? - Hold it for me.
- Jesus Christ! You wanna keep doing business or not? (URGENT MUSIC ) (MUSIC INTENSIFIES) - GUARD: G'day, Jake.
How're you going? - G'day, fellas.
Fuck! - (MUSIC ENDS) - (DON MURMURS IN SLEEP) - (TENSE MUSIC) - (DON SNORES GENTLY) (WHOOSHING FLOURISH) (SONIA HUMMING TO HERSELF) (SIGHS AND CONTINUES HUMMING) Hm! (SIGHS DEEPLY) (INHALES AND EXHALES) (PHONE BEEPS) - Don.
It's me.
- Hi, Sonia.
Listen, um, I'm in a bit of a pickle here.
- What's wrong? - I'm going to need your help.
- (MUSIC ENDS) - (DON BREATHES DEEPLY) Mmmm.
(EXHALES) (GRUNTING) (INHALES) How'd you sleep? (CHUCKLES) Extremely well, thanks to my little helpers.
Oh, thank God I'm back in the free world.
- I prefer alcohol.
- I noticed.
- Well, we were celebrating.
- Yes.
I s'pose you got your future all mapped out now you've got me off the hook.
You bet.
(SIGHS DEEPLY) Gonna apply for stress leave, then resign.
(CHUCKLES) Collect my super, buy a bar somewhere on a beach, and just live happily ever after.
(CHUCKLES) - You have worked it all out.
- Mmm.
You could come with me.
Do you really think our relationship's the sentimental kind? (PHONE VIBRATING) - (DON SIGHS) - (PHONE CONTINUES TO VIBRATE) VOICE-MAIL MESSAGE: You've reached Don Kaplan.
I'm not available at the moment but if the matter's urgent, please leave me a detailed message at the tone.
(BEEP) Don, uh, it's Liz.
Birdsworth.
Um, I'm just wondering if there's any news.
Any anyway, I'll try you again later.
Well, why didn't you answer it? Are you embarrassed? (CHUCKLES) I've got nothin' to say to her.
Oh, I can just imagine what fantasies you've been concocting for the silly old cow.
(CHUCKLES) Without that silly old cow, you would have been screwed.
I think you've got a bit of a soft spot for her.
Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho.
I played her, that's all.
And you'll pay me.
That was the deal.
DON: Mmm.
Tonight.
I'll have your money for you.
We'll make a night of it.
(BIRDS TWITTERING IN BACKGROUND) ANNOUNCEMENT: Attention, compound.
Attention, compound.
All prisoners return to your cells.
Hey, Allie.
- Can you come here for a sec? - What's up? I gotta ask you something.
It's huge.
Come on.
Okay, ladies standing outside your cells.
This is a cell toss.
- Let's go, please! - Morning, Mr Jackson.
Oh, I see you haven't got your pips back yet.
Oh, I will, and then things will change around here, Proctor.
What are you talking about? Are you on drugs? Come on, let's go.
Let's go, ladies, come on! Novak, what are you still doing here? - Sorry, Mr J.
I'm going.
- Thank you.
So, exactly what is gonna change? You've just been demoted, numb nuts.
Proctor, you can stand there and act like a child, or you can be a great leader and be part of the solution.
I don't think I want to be a part of anything that you've got going on.
Oh, your choice.
It'll get done, with or without you.
MALE GUARD: Come on, ladies, move on.
MILES: All prisoners out of their cells! Standing by your doors, please.
INMATE: The system is corrupt.
FERGUSON: Ms Miles? What is it, Ferguson? That, um, tradesman who was here yesterday.
What about him? I believe he shared a hot tip for Kyneton today with a number of your colleagues.
- Did he mention it to you? - No.
- INMATE: What are you lookin' at, scab? - What was it? Oh, what was it? It was, um, something like, um, Furphy? Don't waste my time, Ferguson.
Gambaro! Come out now.
And don't make me come in there and haul you out.
Ms Miles.
(INDISTINCT DISCONTENT FROM INMATES) GUARD: Nothing here.
(INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER) GUARD: Ah, don't worry I've looked in there already.
Nah, it's all clear.
(TENSE MUSIC) Ahh! Just watch my arm.
- Anything, guys? - Nah.
All clear in here.
All right, let's go.
FEMALE GUARD: H Block search all clear.
(TENSE MUSIC INTENSIFIES) (MUSIC ENDS) We didn't find the missing shifter in the cell toss, but we didn't come up completely empty-handed.
Liquid nicotine.
Clearly, we need to step up our security measures.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Attention, compound.
- Prisoners may now leave their unit.
- Hey! Lockdown's over.
Yeah, I know.
So I want my shifter back.
What? No, "Oh, thanks, Allie, "for risking a fuckin' fortnight in the slot for me.
" I'm sorry, there was no time to explain.
Well, there's time now.
- Just give it back.
- No.
Not until you tell me what the fuck is going on.
- What if I don't want to? - Then you don't get your shifter back.
Bullshit! Come on, give it back! Ow, ow! Fuck! Ahh, shit! Get off! Fuck! - Jeez, you're hurting my arm.
- I don't care.
- Get out! Fuck! It's not in there.
- Where is it then?! Do you want a Chinese burn? (SCOFFING LAUGH) Fuck, I'm not kidding! - I'm fuckin' not - Ahh, fuck! Ow! Fuck! (BOTH LAUGHING) Oh! - (BOTH CHUCKLING) - (GENTLE MUSIC) Thanks.
I appreciate what you did.
So, are you gonna tell me or not? Nuh.
(MUSIC ENDS) So, what's your game, Freak? Why'd you help me out? (INHALES) Consider it prisoner solidarity.
(SCOFFS) Get fucked.
You know, we might be in here for quite a while together.
Don't you think it's time we buried the hatchet? I'll bury it in your back, Fergo.
I don't want you as an enemy, Lucy.
I would prefer you as an ally.
And I'd prefer you to fuck off.
Was that the last of your stash, was it? So what if it was? Better enjoy it.
With Vera Bennett and Kaz Proctor joining forces, life's about to get a whole lot more boring in here.
What do you care? I know there's a way around the problem.
- What? - What do you think you're doing? Luce and I were just havin' a friendly chat.
It's not that hard, Juice.
Stay away from ghosts.
Go on.
Get lost.
(DOORBELL RINGS) Started without me, eh? I told you, I intend to make a night of it.
A toast, to my brilliant detective.
(CHUCKLES) You know, I always thought you were wasted on the police.
It's true.
Just a couple of little details I don't quite understand.
Uh! You want me to give away all my secrets? (LAUGHS) Don't worry, I've more than fulfilled my end of the bargain.
So where's the money? You don't trust me? (LAUGHING) (SNIFFS DEEPLY) Mmmm.
I just like the smell of money with my champagne.
You know, my barrister told me that Helen's phone was found in Sassafras on the morning of Liz's testimony.
Remarkable.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, they say it's lovely up there this time of year.
(HUSHED) Mmm.
I see.
(SIGHING) Well, I s'pose it's a good idea to tie up all the loose ends.
- Yep, that's true.
- (TENSE MUSIC) Now, the money was only part of our agreement.
(WHOOSHING FLOURISH) (ECHOING DRUM BEATS) (ECHOING DOOR OPENING) (WARPED VOICE) The DPP intend to charge you with the murder of Helen Masters.
(WARPED VOICE) Can you help me? They've got a lot of compelling evidence.
Well, you need to pull some strings.
You're going to be remanded to Wentworth.
Don, that is simply not an option, all right? Unless I can find a way to subvert the trial.
Thank you.
(HUSHED) But I'm not going to fuck my entire career - for nothing.
- No, no, of course not.
When this is over, I'll make it worth your while.
I'm not greedy.
Thank you.
There's one more thing I want.
A sweetener to the deal.
What do you mean? I want to know what really happened to your husband.
(LAUGHING) You know I can't tell you that.
I know you did it, I just don't know how, or why.
You had a charmed life with the guy.
- Successful business - Geoffrey was a gambling, womanising arsehole.
I was the one who brought that company up to what it is today.
- With your blood, sweat and tears? - That's right.
All he did was take the credit.
So you killed him? What is this, the last resort of a frustrated investigation? Is that why you started fucking me? It's pretty obvious what happened.
Helen was your alibi the night your husband disappeared.
She knew about the murder.
Now she's gone, too.
Was she blackmailing you with that? You have your money.
Stop badgering me.
(LAUGHING) I'm sorry, I must be getting drunk.
(CHUCKLES) It's just that I need a bit of insurance, too.
- What insurance? - Well, you could ruin me.
Oh, come on.
You know about Helen.
That doesn't count.
I'd be implicating myself, wouldn't I? So tell me what'd you do with your husband? (OMINOUS MUSIC) All right.
Come for a drive.
I'll show you.
(MUSIC ENDS) So that was your move, to get me in the shit with Kaz.
You're not intimidated by that toothless tiger.
She'll never raise a hand against a woman.
There are other ways to fuck with us.
You should know.
Well, perhaps that's why you should listen to my proposal.
Don't you want to take back what Kaz has taken away? Hey, Franky, is this a good time? You said you'd help me with my transfer application.
Yeah, I need a break.
Going round in circles.
Sit down.
That's the application form I've gotta fill in.
So, just do it.
It's piss-easy.
(SIGHS) I don't know what I'm going to say to the board.
I've never been very good at public speaking.
Well, you don't think of it like that.
It's just you, talkin' from the heart, about what's important to ya.
- I'm scared, Franky.
I'm scared - Hey, listen.
- I'm gonna fuck it up! - Just fuckin' listen up, all right? You got a chance to get out of here.
You just grab it.
You don't even hesitate.
You fuckin' see that chance, even if it's a long shot, you take that risk, 'cause you got everythin' to gain and nothin' to lose.
(GENTLE MUSIC) (MUSIC ENDS) (TENSE MUSIC) (LONG EXHALE) Feeling all right? Oh, I'm just a bit tired, that's all.
- (MUSIC ENDS) - (KNOCKING) Come in.
- Governor, got Doyle for you.
- Okay.
Come in, Doyle.
Thank you, Mr Jackson.
We'll have to make this quick.
It's almost lockdown.
Oh, yeah, thanks for seein' me.
What do you want? I'm going crazy working in the laundry.
All that politics is doing my head in.
I have thought the laundry isn't ideal for a prisoner of your potential.
So, can I switch details? Well, you've helped fellow inmates with their legal issues from time to time.
How about we make that official? Your own work unit, in the education centre, as prisoner advocate.
Nah, I was more thinkin', ah, workin' in the outdoor unit.
I'm just desperate to get into the open air.
Oh, really? (CHUCKLES) Yeah, I feel like I'm really cooped up in here, not walking around like a normal person.
- I feel like I'm getting anxious.
- Well, surely that's not a surprise.
Why, 'cause I'm back in prison after a taste of freedom? Yes.
I haven't been convicted yet, Miss Bennett.
I am aware of that, Doyle And I plan to prove my innocence in court.
All right.
You can start on the grounds detail as of tomorrow.
Thanks.
(TENSE MUSIC) Where are we? Nearly there.
(EXHALES) Oh.
(SLURS) Feel a bit woozy.
Well, just sit back.
Relax.
Not long now.
No, I just it's just so, I feel woozy Hmm.
(INHALES) You wanted to know what happened to my husband.
(MUSIC ENDING) - ANNOUNCEMENT: Attention, compound.

There's gonna be a dog at the entrance for the rest of the week.
STEWART: Huh.
What, she didn't tell you? Yeah.
Yeah, no.
No, of course she did.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
(SIGHS DEEPLY) He said he'd be in contact yesterday with an update on my charges and I have I haven't heard from him.
Okay.
Well, maybe if you call and leave a message.
Yeah, I have.
I tried, several times, I yesterday and this morning and he he's not picking up and it's really not like him.
All right, well, he's probably very busy.
He'll call when he has - news.
(SIGHS) - Please.
Please, could you just make contact with him at police - headquarters on my behalf? - Oh, Liz, no, I don't think - It's really not - He wouldn't he wouldn't do this - to me.
