The board's ordered me to stop Liz's medication.

How soon will my symptoms return?

A couple of days, maybe a week.

- One day, I might need your help.

- Yeah, to do what?

I don't I don't wanna suffer.

I might be getting me parole real soon so, um, you know Just giving your son the VIP treatment.

Why did you want to see me now, after all this time?

I was very selfish.

So selfish, I didn't know what it meant to be a mum, Artie.

I didn't I didn't know.

Hey!

What the f*ck are you doing?

Get off me!

It seems that nurse was part of a planned att*ck on Winter.

I reckon there's something going on between her and Mr Jackson, too.

How do you mean?

He kept coming to see her in the slot, in the middle of the night.

Your plan failed, arsehole.

I'm still here.

If you don't get me out of here in the next 48 hours, the whole country's going to find out how you like to spend your holidays.

- I need you to get out for a bit.

- Why?

What are you doing?

If you keep quiet, that 20K debt of yours, gone, by the end of the day.

Your lawyer.

He won't be much use to you, I'm afraid.

He's not the only person with a copy of those photos.

- You're bluffing.

- Try me.

Michael wasn't able to pull the strings he'd hoped.

So we're busting you out of here instead.

- Well, not so different.

The grief, the loss, the injustice you must have felt.

Where does someone like you direct a rage like that?

I will not let you destroy him.
