What a dump.
BOY: Mum! I want my mummy!
There he is.
Mum, Mum!
Where's Mum?
Thomas, Thomas.
I don't want you. I want my mummy.
What are you doing? Mum!
Don't. I wanna see Mummy. No, no, no. Come on.
I told you to stay in your room.
Mate, you'll get in trouble if you climb that fence.
Ssh, Thomas. We'll see Mum, but just not yet.
Thomas! I'm here, Mum. Mum!
Mum! Mum!
Get off me!
Mum!
Get off me!
ALARM SOUNDS
I'm coming!
Mum! I love you, Mum.
Mum! Don't go again.
Mum!
You bastard bullies!
Mum!
UPBEAT THEME MUSIC
You shouldn't have run away like that.
But I wanna see Mummy.
Promise Grandma you won't do it again.
Can't we do something?
He managed to get all the way out here by himself.
He wants to see his mum.
They do have visiting hours, Suse.
But he's already here. It's a prison.
People can't walk in and out when they want.
Can we at least talk to them?
I mean, look at him.
Hop in.
Yeah, alright, but they won't come at it.
We're in favour of encouraging family contact,
but this is a prison and there are strict visiting hours.
Can't you make this one exception?
I'm just the manager - I'm answerable to head office.
They make the rules. He's six years old.
DOOR KNOCK Come in.
If it were up to me...
Gills to see you. If it's about her son, no.
Found this when I was cleaning.
How did it get into your section?
I didn't bring it in. That's all I know.
Where, exactly?
In the love shack.
And I don't wanna be blamed for it.
Alright, Gills. Your action will be noted.
You can go now.
Wouldn't get many of those in here.
We turn up a few, but none like this.
This could send out photos of the entire layout.
Someone smuggled it in then?
That's a reportable offence.
It hasn't actually....
Do you want us to look into this? Absolutely.
You don't put too much credit on Gills.
Why's that?
Word is, she may have smuggled it in herself.
So, why would she hand it in?
Probably scared someone's gonna dob her.
Which would affect her parole.
Exactly.
She's not too popular in here.
Really?
They're scared of her.
She's dangerous.
In what way?
She's in here for setting fire to someone she didn't like.
Who?
Her husband.
The honeymoon suite.
Get used much?
Not as much as you might think.
Conjugal visits are a privilege.
When was the last time? Four weeks ago.
I've been a correctional officer for over 12 years.
Prisoners will say anything if they
think they'll get a better deal.
Yeah, okay, but do you have any actual reason
to think that she smuggled the phone in?
I could tell you who told me she did.
Her cell mate.
Am I gonna get into trouble for this?
Not if you tell us the truth.
We understand you told Officer Stafford
Heidi Gills had the mobile phone smuggled in.
Maybe. Maybe?
I didn't see her actually smuggle it in, if that's what you're asking.
Why did you tell her that
Why did you tell her that she had?
Because she told me she was going to try.
What actually did Heidi Gills tell you?
That she was gonna get her mum to smuggle one in
so she could see her little boy on it.
And why would she confide in you?
She's my cell mate.
Do you often betray your friends?
There are no friends in this place.
We're finished with her for the time being.
Okay, Hewitt. Off you go.
She confirmed what you said.
Hewitt plays it fairly straight.
How long have she and Heidi been cell mates?
A few months.
She's the only one prepared to share a room with her.
Excuse me.
What's all that about?
(screams)
She's setting me up.
She knows I've got a parole board coming.
You're making it worse for yourself.
You could've been on a charge.
Have you ever had to attend at a prison before?
Yeah. Once.
Well, a friendly bit of advice.
Never take sides between the prisoners and the screws.
It looked to me like the guard went
It looked to me like the guard went over to provoke her.
But you don't know what was going on.
It's outside your experience.
Right.
So what was that favour you wanted to ask me?
She's not a real crim.
Trying to kill your husband still constitutes a crime, Constable.
But we don't know what drove her to that, though.
The husband could've been violent. Yes
The husband could've been violent. Yes.
And that guard has got it in for her, and the cell mate.
Susie, it's a prison. That's th
Susie, it's a prison. That's the way it is.
Boss, the suggestion that she smuggled the phone in herself,
then handed it in is ludicrous.
To get some brownie points for her parole board.
It makes sense to me. (sighs)
What about the suggestion
that Val Ferber might've smuggled in this phone?
Only a fool would hand in a phone that
Only a fool would hand in a phone that could be traced to her mother.
According to the visitors' book, Heidi's mother was there yesterday,
so she could've brought it in.
Do we know who actually owns the phone?
No.
This is Constable Raynor from the Mt Thomas Police.
I need to identify the owner of a mobile phone.
My number is 351546001780508.
I just don't like that Sonia Stafford woman.
She's a bully. Well, I'm not sure about Heid
She's a bully. Well, I'm not sure about Heidi.
MUFFLED TWO-WAY CHATTER Uh-huh?
Thank you.
Antony Beaumont.
From around here, Flat Gully Road.
Beaumont?
You know him, boss? I know the wine.
Beaumont Estate? Yeah. Not a bad drop.
So who's Antony?
Is he the vineyard owner? No, no. That'd be Peter.
My guess is this's probably the son.
The wine's just a sideline.
Peter Beaumont is a QC.
They don't sound like the sort of family
to smuggle mobile phones into women's prison.
And there's no Antony Beaumont on the visitors' list.
(knocks on door)
Don't often see police out here.
What's the problem?
Ah, g'day. No problem.
Just looking for Antony Beaumont. That's me.
Ah. Um, is this yours?
Oh, that's great!
I thought it'd been stolen.
Where did you find it?
It was handed in at Wonga Wonga Prison.
The women's prison?
Well, how did it get out there?
You haven't been out there recently?
No, never.
Not to visit anyone or...
I don't actually know anyone in jail.
Right. Could you punch in your code just to make sure it's yours?
Sure.
I think someone's stuffed it up.
Are you sure you put in the right numbers?
I'm positive. It's my father's birthday.
Can someone change the code? I'm not really sure.
We'll have to hang onto that until we're certain it's yours.
I suppose I don't have much choice.
Why didn't you report it missing?
It's just a phone. I didn't think it was a police matter.
Do you remember when you last
Do you remember when you last had it?
At the pub, yesterday lunchtime.
I left it on the bar when I was playing pool.
Which pub was that?
G'day. Are either of you two Quentin Bell?
Yeah. That's me.
Just a routine inquiry.
Antony Beaumont said we'd find you here.
Antony?
He's a friend of yours, isn't he? Sort of, yeah.
He lost his phone in here yesterday.
He left it on the table there and someone knocked it off.
So you guys were playing pool to
So you guys were playing pool together?
Yeah.
Was there anyone else around?
Ah, no. It was just the two of us.
Anything wrong? No.
Enjoy your game. Cheers.
Mrs Ferber visited the prison yesterday afternoon.
The phone went missing from the pub yesterday afternoon.
Ferber is staying in the pub.
She's gotta be in the frame.
No! I wouldn't dream of doing something like that.
There's some suggestion it might've been
so Heidi could see pictures of...on the phone.
Oh, that's ridiculous.
Who told you that? That doesn't matter.
Was it that warder, the one Heidi says is always
Was it that warder, the one Heidi says is always on her back?
That's information we can't give.
Unless it's that awful woman she shares the room with.
And where exactly am I s'posed to have taken the phone from?
From in there, the public bar.
Well, there's your answer.
I never go into the bar and I don't allow Thomas in there.
I don't drink and I hate the smell.
Why don't you ask the woman who runs the hotel?
Oi. Excuse me?
Have I ever been into the public bar here, love?
You tell them.
Not that I've ever noticed, no.
Thank you.
Then you won't mind us taking your fingerprints?
Oh, the people you should be talking with
are the people running the prison.
They're making Heidi's life a misery.
It's criminal she's even in there.
She committed a serious crime.
That drunk! What he did to her!
I would've burned his car myself
and I wouldn't have stopped with the car.
Come on, Thomas. We're leaving.
But we need to take your fingerprints down at the station.
That's where we're going, young
That's where we're going, young man, but not with you.
Hey, what did you two say to that woman?
Who? Val Ferber.
She was that worked up, I could barely get prints.
She's angry with the prison authorities
She's angry with the prison authorities.
Well, she was spitting chips.
She still believes her daughter shouldn't even be in prison.
Val may have had the opportunity to steal that phone,
but I don't believe she did, and you heard Chris.
Chris doesn't see everything. You reckon?
We'll soon know if Val's prints
match the ones that were found on the phone.
Quentin What's-his-name confirmed
that the phone went missing from the pub.
Now, Val Ferber is the only one
connected to both the pub and the prison.
Yeah, the only one we know of.
Quentin said he and his mate
were the only ones in the pub at the time.
Quentin Bell? I wouldn't put too much faith i
Quentin Bell? I wouldn't put too much faith in what he says.
What, you know him?
We caught him doing burnouts with mates last year.
Private school kids in a borrowed Jag.
Was he one of them?
Yeah. Tried to lie his way out of it.
Was Antony Beaumont one of them? Ah, dunno. Maybe.
They went to school together.
The Bells had a big place up on the hill.
We'll be down straightaway. Thanks.
There's a car on fire in Murray Street.
Excuse me?
You okay?
Sonia?
I didn't have time to get my stuff out.
That arm needs attention.
She did this. I want her charged.
Who?
That mad bitch Heidi Gills.
How could Heidi Gills set fire to your car?
There are ways, believe me.
But she's in prison.
The perfect alibi, isn't it?
Okay, assuming she didn't get out of prison, do this,
then let herself back in afterwards, what makes you think she did this?
You saw her attitude.
That's hardly enough to base this on.
She threatened me. You saw her. She hates me.
Is there any particular reason?
'Cause I'm a screw.
As far as Heidi Gills and her mates on the outside are concerned,
nothing that happens to me could be bad enough.
So what was this mysterious favour you wanted to ask me?
Ah, it doesn't matter now.
Oh, it must have been something.
It was more of a proposition, really.
Ah.
I've been invited out for dinner tomorrow night
to that Greek restaurant in St David's.
The one that...we didn't go to?
Yeah.
Oh.
The thing is that I'm supposed to bring someone.
Are you asking me?
It doesn't matter. I'll find someone else.
No, no, I'd love to come.
Yeah, well, it's not a date, you know.
It's like a social obligation.
My brother's friends are paying.
Ah, a freebie. Even better.
Do you think I'd have been so public with my feelings towards her
if I'd intended to torch her car?
I'm not that stupid. No.
But you are a very emotional person.
The crime that put you in here tells us that.
Is she saying I somehow got out of here, set fire to her car,
then got back in again?
I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting that.
So why am I being questioned about it
So why am I being questioned about it?
I suppose I arranged it through my vast network o
I suppose I arranged it through my vast network of criminal contacts.
It is obvious there's bad blood between you and Miss Stafford.
We did see you threaten her earlier today.
Do you know what?
I'm glad someone burned that bitch's car.
It couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
But it wasn't me.
Impossible. There is no way.
Someone did get a mobile phone in.
We're talking about a person, not a phone.
I've had the tapes checked.
No prisoner left this facility over the past 24 hours.
It's okay, Jen, leave it.
The electronic security here is state-of-the-art.
Nobody moves without us knowing.
Do you know of anyone who may have a grudge against Miss Stafford?
You mean a prisoner? Yeah.
Is there any history we should know about?
Sonia Stafford is an excellent correctional officer.
She was always prepared to do...
Mr Neville, that's not what I asked.
In this business, resentments do develop.
I know she's had trouble with Gills,
but then apparently everyone has trouble with Gills.
So, Heidi's a bit of a Houdini, is she?
She can walk through walls.
She didn't need to get out herself, she could've done it from inside -
someone on the outside who's willing to do it.
There's bad blood between her and Stafford. We've seen it.
But we don't know what that's about.
What about the mobile phone?
Could those two things be connected? It's possible.
Could be payback
because Sonia accused Heidi of smuggling the phone in.
It seems unlikely, but we don't know.
What's her grandmother like?
A pain in the arse.
She is concerned for her daughter.
And she hates Stafford.
Well, there's your person on the outside.
I'm sure she was in the parlour at that time with her grandson.
Was Thomas with her all the time?
There was no-one else to look after him.
She'd hardly take a six-year-old with her to in
She'd hardly take a six-year-old with her to incinerate a car.
POLICE RADIO: Mt Thomas 900 to Mt Thomas 208.
208 receiving. Go ahead, Ben.
A Mr John Neville at the Wonga Correctional Centre
asks that you call him urgently.
He's reported an incident involving a prisoner.
208 proceeding.
May as well move into that joint.
Rhonda tipped boiling water on me.
A bit of a scuffle in the laundry. An accident.
Alright, Heidi, tell me what happened.
Just a bit of name-calling and it got out of hand
Just a bit of name-calling and it got out of hand.
Were you there, Miss Stafford?
No. I arrived just after.
Did anyone else see the incident?
I just want to get through my parole board hearing, okay.
I want to get out of here.
This woman needs to go to hospital.
That arm needs proper attention.
It could be a bit tricky. There are security implications.
I'm accountable.
Do you have medical staff on site?
Only limited first aid.
I suppose, if you can guarantee she'll be secure.
Yeah, we'll make sure of it.
Very well.
We'd also like to see Rhonda Hewitt before we leave.
Would you get Hewitt, please? Certainly.
These things happen.
She's lying.
She says that you threw boiling water over her.
I did not throw it. It was an accident.
And it wasn't even boiling. Okay.
Did anyone else see what happened? Probably.
Well, who?
Well, I know Big Meg was there.
Surname?
I think it's Paulsen or something.
Everyone just calls her Big Meg.
Right. Anyone else?
A few of the others.
Look, she's always running off to dob the girls in.
So you're saying there was no fight.
What fight? It's just Heidi crapping on as usual.
No-one likes her. Ask any of them.
Always blaming each other.
I know you think Gills is hard done by,
but that's just not the reality.
I'll take you to the hospital now, Gills.
I will have the lamb, thanks, Chris. Yeah, me too.
I'll have the same with the Greek sala
I'll have the same with the Greek salad.
Susie's taking me to that new Greek place
out at St David's tomorrow.
(in unison) Oh, yeah.
Yes. It's not a date.
Can you watch the cloth, please? Yeah, no worries, love.
I think you've had enough. Off you go.
We haven't finished our game... Out of here.
Hey, hey!
Get out!
Can't even have a little bit of fun anymore, can we?
Get out.
We're going. Sorry. Sorry.
Thank you.
It's alright.
Trying to impress Susie before the big date?
It's not a date.
I'm just a handbag.
Oh.
I hate this place.
If your parole board goes okay you might be out of here real soon.
Maybe.
SIREN
You got a welcome back.
Isn't that a bloke?
Quentin.
Having a bit of fun, huh?
This should not happen.
We have a secure facility here.
Come back, sexy! So how did you get in?
What are you doing here, mate?
Can't remember. I passed out.
You want to do this down the station?
I don't care.
What have you got there, Quentin?
Ah.
Studying photography, are we?
This looks a lot like your face to me, Quentin.
These are quite abstract.
Pretty talented photographer, aren't ya?
Who's the woman?
A friend of yours?
No, not really. Not really.
They were taken inside the prison, weren't they?
So, it was a conjugal visit.
With someone you don't know?
You are allowed to have sex in prison, that's not illegal.
No, maybe not. But breaking into one is.
So how did you get in?
What's the arrangement? There isn't one.
It's a bit of fun. Oh, a bit of fun.
Alright, who's organising this fun? I don't know.
You must be pretty desperate. I'm not desperate.
How did you get in?
Someone must have let you in.
I didn't see. The doors open automatically.
Alright, well how does it work?
You pay your money, you get the word
and you turn up the time you're told.
You can't be serious?
This is some sort of regular night out?
Appears to be what's happening.
Someone's running sex tours into the women's prison?
It looks like it.
How are these people getting in?
We don't know.
Well, who's behind it?
We don't know that either.
Has Quentin Bell been charged?
He won't name names.
He has been charged - unlawful entry into a prison and trespass.
Oh, that'll really scare him.
The best we could do.
But the security of the jail has been totally compromised.
That's right.
That should be our first concern.
I don't want escapees running around all over.
I put in place a full review of our security procedures
and there's a crisis team flying down from head office.
We'll push on with our investigation in the meantime.
You have my full cooperation, of course.
I mean, th...this is a catastrophe for me, personally,
as well as for the company.
No bonus this year, eh?
Don't joke.
The system is supposed to be fail-safe.
Okay. Is there any way at all
the system could be overridden or bypassed?
Only in the event of something like a fire.
We're able to release the locks to get people out in an emergency.
And how is that done?
There's a code which you key in,
but it's automatically changed every 36 hours.
Well, who has that code?
Only the facility manager. That's company policy.
So you are the only one who can deactivate the system?
No. I have to delegate the authority when I'm not on duty.
You give the code to someone else? Yes.
What about last night?
I wasn't here last night.
You weren't here at all?
Not after six.
Can anyone vouch for that?
I would have been monitored leaving.
If the system was working properly.
Which seems to be the issue.
So who'd you give the code to?
You didn't switch off the security system at any time last night?
No.
So it was on all night?
Well, obviously not.
Have you got any idea how it failed to detect an intruder?
It did detect him eventually.
After he'd been in there all night.
Having sex.
Look, this company - it's run by accountants.
They think they can run prison with hardly any staff.
They whack a few cameras and sensors in and think it'll do the job,
but it stuffs up.
How often?
Regularly. It's the software.
There are glitches in it.
We all know, we just keep quiet.
And they haven't done anything about it?
They've had people crawling over it for months.
It's still riddled with problems.
Well what about last night?
Off air for about two hours.
When? Between three and five.
It's normally not a problem 'cause it's the middle of the night.
Most people are asleep.
So this bloke could've just walked in?
That's right.
And he wouldn't have been seen?
Do you know how many people were on duty last night? Two.
Me and one other.
Can't be everywhere.
Two hours, huh?
If Quentin Bell could wander in,
someone could just as easily wander out.
Yeah.
Sonia alleging Heidi torched her car
sounds less ridiculous by the second.
Are you aware of people coming in here at night to visit women?
Have you heard any rumours about the prison security system?
Sometimes it just goes down.
So this is common knowledge?
We all know when it happens.
Suddenly the correctional officers are walking around
instead of sitting in their little room watching the monitors.
But...that doesn't interest me.
When I walk out of this prison I want it to be legally.
See this.
I don't want it to be my face next time.
If you help us, we can support you at your parole board.
I'll take my chances on my own, thanks.
I've learnt my lesson.
You can't protect me 24 hours a day.
Let's forget arson for the minute and concentrate on the sex.
Heidi Gills and her cellmate, could they be involved?
We can't establish that from the photos.
What about this?
You can store pictures in this.
Didn't he say the code was his dad's birthday?
Could you put your security code in again for us, Mr Butler?
Sure.
Still the same problem.
Can I have a go?
What's the number?
8 - 12 - 53.
Oh, I think I put a 9 instead of an 8.
Oh, it's working. Must've got it right.
Great.
Yeah.
I was never any good at remembering birthdays either.
Birth certificates are good for that.
Do you mind scrolling through the stored images for us?
I didn't take any of these.
Must have been taken by whoever stole it.
These are disgusting.
Hey, go back one.
We know that face.
Want to tell us about it?
You can't get around this one, Rhonda.
So I had sex with some guy.
That's what the CB unit's for.
If any money changed hands,
you could be charged with illegally providing sexual services.
Big deal. I'm in here for prostitution.
So don't make things worse for yourself.
Who organised it?
I didn't.
I was forced into it.
Well, who by?
It's not worth it.
If I tell you that, I'll get bashed.
Rhonda, just give us a name.
Heidi.
Heidi Gills is part of this?
She's the ringleader.
Is that what the phone was for - contacting the customers?
I'm the one that handed in the mobile phone.
Maybe that was a way of covering yourself.
I handed it in because I wanted to stop this brothel they run in here.
For that, I got boiling water thrown over me.
Who is running it then?
Heidi, who are you frightened of?
We can offer you protection.
I can call my boss,
get you transferred to the police cells at St David's.
We can guarantee your safety.
But you can't bring me back here like you did last time.
If they know I talked to you, I'm dead.
If who knows?
I'm not saying any more until I'm somewhere safe, away from here.
Okay.
Will this affect me getting to my parole board hearing today?
Don't worry. We'll get you there.
You sure she's not offering to cooperate
to improve her chances of parole?
She may be, but she's our only real source.
We have to get approval from the Justice Department.
How quickly can we do that?
Do you believe she's in danger?
Yes, I believe she is.
Then I'll contact them now.
Okay, Heidi, we know men are getting into the prison
and women are providing sexual services to them.
Have you seen this happening?
I know it goes on.
Do you know who's involved?
Yeah.
Can you give us names?
Rhonda Hewitt lines up the women and Stafford lets in the guys.
Sonia Stafford, the correctional officer?
Yeah. Together with your cellmate?
Yeah.
Rhonda wanted me to have sex with these men.
I told her I'd rather die.
So who lets these men in?
Well, I don't know exactly.
All I do know is happens only when Sonia Stafford's on night shift.
Who else is involved?
A number of the girls got into it.
For money?
They get extra privileges
and it's a big power trip for Stafford and Hewitt, too.
What about the facility manager?
He wouldn't have a clue what was going on.
Can anyone else support what you're saying?
They could, but they won't - they're too scared.
Right.
So it's your word against theirs?
Isn't it always?
Well, I know who I believe.
Jones? I don't know, boss.
It's a can of worms.
Everyone's got reason to lie.
You'll have to interview Stafford now.
Well, go bring her in.
Hang on.
Are we ready for that?
She's unlikely to fall on her sword at the word of a prisoner.
She's pretty tough.
Let's keep our powder dry for the moment, eh?
DOOR KNOCK
Got a call from the hospital -
looks like a nasty assault.
The victim didn't want to contact the police for some reason.
G'day.
Antony.
What are you doing here?
Broken arm.
And how did you get that?
That's my business.
If you were assaulted it's a police matter.
Then I wasn't assaulted, okay.
It was an accident.
How did it happen?
I forgot.
That's convenient.
I've got nothing to say.
Perhaps you'd like to tell us about the sex tours.
I don't have to tell you anything except my name and address.
Yeah and your dad's birthday
but we'll know plenty more soon enough.
I didn't call you, alright?
I don't need you.
Just piss off.
Well, as long as you feel safe, Mr Beaumont.
You think he might have been one of these sex tourists.
He claims his phone was stolen, but we're not so sure.
I think he left it there,
and he's been bashed to stop him talking.
Why would they break his arm to keep him quiet?
He's unlikely to brag to his Queen's Counsel father
about sneaking into the women's pris
about sneaking into the women's prison for sex.
Unless he was involved in organising the tours, that's why he was bashed.
Well, if he is in on it, who would know about it?
PJ: Antony give you that, did he? No.
How'd you get it?
I bumped into a cupboard door.
I see.
You didn't get it when you assaulted Antony and broke his arm?
I didn't break his arm.
So, how did he break it?
I don't know.
Quentin, you're in this up to your ears.
This is about the sex business, isn't it?
Who are you protecting?
Or, do you want to wear this all by yourself?
Why should I? I'm not the organiser.
So, who is?
Does the name Sonia Stafford ring any bells?
Who?
Quentin, you're not doing yourself any favours.
Well, he's scared, Antony's scared and Heidi Gills is scared.
So, who's in a position to scare all of them?
Sonia Stafford.
Could she physically break someone's arm?
Yes.
Yeah, but this is bigger than one person.
Quentin Bell. He's not smart enough.
But he was inside the prison.
And dumb enough to get caught.
Hmm.
Antony Beaumont.
Now why is he so paranoid?
We assume he's scared because he was intimidated,
but maybe that's not it.
The mobile.
How does that fit in?
For some pervert to keep a record of his sexual exploits?
Maybe it's something else. Like what?
I want to set up a sex tour business, right?
I can't advertise in the local paper, but...
I can email images with my new phone.
And send real-time prison porn.
Get a record of emails sent on the phone.
I think we've got enough to get Sonia Stafford in now.
I can see where you're going with this, but you're wrong.
We have a statement saying you organise these tours.
No prizes for guessing where that came from.
Look, Heidi Gills is involved with these people.
I got my car torched by them. Remember?
Why did you say it was done by someone
involved with the sex business? I was trying to stop it.
Yeah, I knew people were getting in.
You knew?
Well, I suspected.
The way the system kept malfunctioning.
Did you report it? 'Course I did.
I wanted it to stop.
What happened? Nothing.
That doesn't make sense.
Well, it does if the person you reported it to
is the one organising it.
You knew people were coming in to have sex with the prisoners.
No!! I did not know that!
That is an outrageous accusation.
But you knew the security system was failing on a regular basis.
Yes. There was nothing I could do about that.
What do you mean?
You're in charge of the facility.
That doesn't mean I can do anything.
Surely it's your responsibility.
But the expense of constantly trying to fix the security system
meant I was way over budget.
What?
Surely your main responsibility is to secure the prison
at whatever cost.
Yes, but my job is to stay within budget!
So people were free to wander in and out as they liked?
I'm a line manager,
not a prison warden.
Right.
So, how does Sonia Stafford fit into all this?
She saw the spot I was in, she made me an offer.
She said she would personally guarantee the security of the jail.
How could she possibly guarantee that?
Easily. The women are scared of her.
She has an army background, understands discipline.
I had every confidence in her.
And what did you offer her in return?
I gave her a free hand.
To run the sex ring.
I didn't ask.
I didn't want to know.
Yeah...
I worked through the list of emails with attachments
sent from Antony's mobile.
Two people admitted responding to unsolicited pictures
and a message asking if they were interested in some action.
Did they take up the offer? No.
And why are you looking so pleased?
I just called Army Services Investigation Branch.
Remember John Neville said Sonia had an army background?
Yeah, so?
Well, she's still a member of the army reserves.
Guess who else was a member until a couple of months ago?
My phone was stolen, I told you that.
Right. Well, we have two people
saying they got sexually explicit emails from your phone,
offering them sex for money.
Obviously the emails were sent by whoever stole it.
Well, we have reason to believe your phone was never stolen
and that you left it at the prison yourself.
That's not true. I've never been to the prison.
Do you know Sonia Stafford? No.
So you deny being in the army reserves with her?
Mr Beaumont, stop with the lies!
We've got enough to charge you!
We know that you ran the whole show!
If Stafford's saying I'm the organiser, she's lying.
Right, so you cooked it up together?
No, it was her idea.
She came to me.
Go on.
She organised the women and I got the punters
and we split the proceeds 50-50.
After I left my phone in there, she said it'd be 75% to her.
What was your response?
You burnt her car. She broke your arm.
She also threatened to send photos to my parents.
I want a lawyer.
Do you want us to call your father? No!
He'll find out some time.
DOOR KNOCK
I do advise you to co-operate.
I've had a call from St David's.
Heidi Gills was taken to Wonga Prison for her parole board hearing.
That's not till 3 o'clock.
They had a call saying it had been moved earlier.
From who? Sonia Stafford.
Where's Sonia?
I've lost my job.
Where is she?!
CHEERING
Down! Down!
ALARM SOUNDS Move it! Now!
JEERING
Get off her!
Sonia Stafford, you are under arrest for assault, endangerment...
And that is just for starters.
You had a clean record in the prison service for years.
Why get involved in a sex ring?
You've gotta move with the times, don't ya?
Well, do you?
Wonga's not a prison service anymore.
It's a business and everyone was making a profit.
Everyone except you.
So you thought you'd come up with your own cash making scheme.
Women didn't mind.
They were happy to make a bit of cash.
If it wasn't for that interfering slag, Gills.
So you tried to kill her?
I tried to make her see reality.
Money rules inside as well as out.
I suppose, Antony's daddy's gonna get him off, too.
Well, the justice system doesn't actually work like that, Sonia.
You don't reckon?
I've got someone here to see you.
Mummy!
Oh!
Mummy's coming home, baby.
Look at you.
Oh yeah, just going out to dinner. Yeah.
Um, is Susie here?
You finally got a date with her?
Nah, it's not a date. I'm just doing her a favour.
Jonesy. My brother's friends called from Kyneton.
The car's broken down, they're towing it back to Melbourne.
Oh. I've cancelled the restauarant.
Ah, that's a shame. I was looking forward to a bit of plate throwing.
You look great.
Thanks.
You know, we can have dinner here.
I could get Vinnie to do you some bread and dips if you like.
What do you think? Sounds good.
Table for two, but no plate throwing.
I thought you guys were in St Davids.
Oh, it's been cancelled.
Oh right.
Ah well, join us.
Yeah.
After you.
