I can see you're a good girl from a good home.

Would you like me to telephone your parents

to tell them you're all right?

It's none of your business.

Bruce Higg's me name.

I work for nothing.

Then you're a fool.

Or the smartest man in town to know the value of learning

from the smartest woman in town.

Well, I'm no lady and I'm old enough to be your mother.

I don't care.

You're the prettiest thing I've seen in a long time.

Any one good lookers who I can flick in the eye?

I'm sick of your ugly mug.

I wanna be recognized for what I am.

I recognize you, sweetheart.

Recognize that ass of yours 100 foot down a mine shaft.

- Hey, what the hell - Shit.

is going on here?

Whatever you're looking for, there's nothing here.

You're under arrest for keeping a house

for clan frequented by thieves.

What?

Kate's in jail.

And they reckon she'll get a year.

You know what this means, boys?

This town is ours.

The King's birthday holiday,

the aging monarch was in his decline.

But for Queen Tilly, everything was coming up roses,

or so she thought.

♪ Our king ♪

Alright gents, we got some lovely girls for you today.

And what better way to celebrate Georgie Pordgie's birthday.

Where's the new girl?

She went upstairs.

Jim wanted to show her something.

Oh, half a mo.

Hey doll, sheesh, you're home early.

I'll fucking kill you.

Get out!

Get off me!

No, get off me!

Fucking come here.

As for queen Kate,

she was screwed in a whole other way.

Sentenced to four months jail for keeping a house

frequented by thieves, Kate Leigh had been a guest

of his majesty once before.

And being a fast learner,

she wasn't keen on repeating the experience.

Bend over.

You're mine, filthy whore.

Crikey, that's a bit rude.

Just fart at her.

Next.

Hi Smithy.

Long time no see.

Well if it isn't little Katie Leigh.

Well, don't get your hopes up, Smithy,

this time things are gonna be a little different.

Oh, are they?

Evening Smithy, money or the blade?

Your choice.

Kate knew Tilly Devine

would make a move on her empire.

It was just a matter of how and when.

Whoopsie daisy.

If you think for one fucking moment

you're getting into this bed.

Geez, you're beautiful.

Piss off.

I said I was sorry.

I said piss off!

Bought you a box of choccies.

With my money.

With my winnings.

That you won with my money.

There's something you don't know.

Doubt that.

Met a bloke at the races, owns the building.

Which building?

Kate Leigh's saloon building.

Reckons the old bat's more trouble than she's worth.

So what?

Sue and his associates might be interested in selling it.

You magnificent bug.

You took your time.

I came as soon as you called, what's up?

Locked me in here, that pommy slut's bound to have a go.

Don't worry about it. It's all under control.

I reckon she'll try to take our sluts.

Katie.

They touch one of our girls,

we slice two of their sluts, understood?

That's why I'm taking on some more muscle.

Good.

Yeah. Good.

No half measures, Wal.

No holding back.

I need you to be me out there, all right?

Not as pretty, but I'll do my best.

You need anything else?

Yeah more of this.

Tobacco?

Filthy rubbish is worth more than gold in here.

Righto.

Keep a tight leash on Eileen, would you?

The girl was born with a bullseye on her forehead.

Yeah.

What do you mean I'm coming with you?

This is my place.

It's too dangerous, come on.

Well, who's gonna look after it?

Anyone but you, Eileen.

Bugger you Wally.

Get your stuff.

Come on.

No wonder my place is dead, they're all here.

Yeah. Wonder why.

Grab an apron and give Bruce a hand.

You're not me mom.

Do you want another one?

Just make yourself useful.

I've got business to take care of.

May I have one of those?

Hate to see a pretty girl drinking alone.

♪ Ain't she sweet ♪

♪ See her walking down the street ♪

♪ And now I ask you very confidentially ♪

♪ Ain't she sweet? ♪

Cheers.

♪ Ain't she nice ♪

♪ Look her over once or twice ♪

Shall we dance?

♪ Now I ask you very confidentially ♪

♪ Ain't she nice? ♪

♪ Just cast an eye in her direction ♪

♪ Oh me, oh my ♪

♪ Ain't that affection ♪

♪ Ain't she sweet? ♪

♪ Don't you think she's kind of neat? ♪

♪ Now I ask you very confidentially ♪

♪ Ain't she sweet? ♪

♪ Now I ask you very confidentially ♪

♪ Ain't she sweet? ♪

Shove off.

Taking this place away from her would be like

ripping her eye out with my bare hands.

This should be interesting.

Who do you have to fuck to get a drink around here?

Champagne, garcon.

Make mine a beer.

You've come to the wrong place

if you're looking for trouble, Tilly.

That's Mrs. Devine to you, shithead.

I am asking you to leave.

You and whose army Tomlinson?

Bloke at the door said there was a floor show.

These must be the comedians, Funny, Stiffy and Mo.

Stiffy.

From what I hear, you're Stiffy.

Now.

I ordered a drink.

Five bob.

That's highway robbery.

Take it or leave it.

Pay him.

Pay him.

One drink.

What's a nice kid like you doing

working for that old sack of shit, aye?

You want a proper job, come see me.

You know furs and rings don't make you a lady.

You're still just a common slut.

Our turf.

Come on, Jim.

Wouldn't drink this bitch's grog anyway.

Got horse piss in it.

It's a well known fact, it's got fucking horse piss in it.

Bitch owes me five bob.

Tilly knew Kate was expecting her

to attack her cocaine cellars

and for devious reasons of her own, she was happy to oblige.

Work for Tilly Devine girls,

or I'll send you to the freak show.

You are the freak, Frank.

Get him like he was going to us, Wal.

Cut his ear off, Wal.

Run!

It's five bob.

I betcha Tilly won't forget it either.

No chance. They say she still has

the first penny she ever earned.

She does have some lovely stuff.

Did you see that sparkler on her finger?

Oh, which one?

The diamonds.

What I wouldn't give for a ring like that.

I'll get you one.

I will, I promise.

It doesn't hurt to dream.

Yeah, so I was thinking

maybe you should give the Tradesman's Arms a go tomorrow.

It's paid out on the walls.

The public bar?

I'll make it sweet with the public.

That's black Aggie's pad.

She's up Palmer Street most days.

The place is going begging now.

Oh, you like what you see boys?

Not shabby mate.

Two quid and she's yours.

Alright.

All her girls have got muscle with them.

Cops are everywhere too.

We keep this up, we're only asking for trouble.

Not scared of a bit of trouble, are you Frank?

I ain't afraid of anything.

Oh, good man.

Then keep up with good work.

But I don't get you.

It's an old trick, Frank.

Make them look at your right hand,

while you pick their pocket with your left.

Mrs. Windsor I assume?

You presume wrong, bubba.

Mr Madsen.

Off you go Frank.

Off you go.

I thought it best to be discreet.

I understand Mrs Devine, mum's word.

I've got some very good news for you.

Oh, do tell.

that property you're interested in

might just be available.

So me hubby wasn't full of shit then.

Wonderful.

Your instructions are to proceed then?

Oh yes, full steam ahead Mr. Madsen.

I want this so bad I can taste it.

And of course we will make it worth your while.

Excellent.

But not word to anyone, all right?

Around here the fleas have ears.

So takings are there?

Times are tough.

Yeah, tough times. Punters need to drink more than ever.

That's no excuse.

What about the other?

Snow's still moving.

I put word out, It's business as usual for the merchandise.

Hey Wal.

What the pluck?

You can't just sit on your ass, Wal.

I know that. I'm not.

Yeah, you gotta make your own opportunities.

You had any trouble?

Nothing we couldn't handle.

I knew she'd try it on.

Don't leave your guard down for a second.

We won't.

Cops have increased their patrols as well.

Oh, might be a godsend.

Remind me of sending a pretty card to Bill Mackay.

Eileen been behaving herself?

Yeah.

The door stays open when he's here.

Yeah, no problems on that front.

Yeah, you tell her it wouldn't kill her

to visit her mother sometimes.

Righto.

Yeah, Wal, next time bring Bruce with you, yeah?

There's a love.

Oh, Bruce is pretty busy, Katie,

he's hardly got time to scratch himself.

I'm not asking you.

I'm telling you.

Bring Bruce with you.

Are you gonna share that?

All gone.

Selfish bitch.

Where's Til?

Oh, she's at the pub. Did you have a win?

I'm grinning, aren't I?

How's about a snifter to celebrate?

On the tick.

Thanks darling.

Whack that in the main safe, love.

Some lovely tripe and brains.

Mm.

What's wrong with you?

We're not supposed to look at you sideways.

What?

Tilly said she'll poke our eyes out.

Very literal is our Peg.

I'll go find the Mrs down the pub.

Well, I might try my luck down the pub too.

It's dead as a doornail in here.

We need your husband's signature on these documents.

Surely your solicitor-

My solicitor explained doesn't mean I have to like it.

As luck would have it.

Mr. Windsor, Sydney Madsen.

Mr. Madsen is our real estate man.

We need you to sign some of these papers.

Yeah, I'm not doing until I quench my thirst.

Maybe you could come down a few bob.

They're stupid and they stink.

I'm not dropping my prize.

I think I might even put it up.

This is my patch.

You're welcome to it.

Try that again sweetheart and I'll cut your tits off.

Let it go.

Love.

Mate, six bob, she will suck you dry.

Two quid and you can do whatever you want to her.

What's going on?

That was my father.

What?

He's my father.

Eleanor.

Please love, come home.

Your mom is sick with worry.

Leave me alone.

Eleanor.

I'm not her anymore.

I'm not the person you're looking for.

I'm sorry. I thought seeing you might-

Come home.

Come home, please love.

How was I to know?

I'm going back to work.

So two bob for a blowy

or three guineas and we'll go all the way.

What do you reckon?

Go ahead if you want a dose of the clap.

= I thought I told you to get outta here.

I'm younger, prettier, and the best damn whore

this town's ever seen.

You uppity little bitch.

I'm gonna teach you a lesson.

Go ahead and try.

Nel, Nel.

You can stay out of this, you've done enough already.

No fighting in the bar, girls.

You've got a problem take it outside.

How about it Aggie?

Out back, winner takes it all.

You're on.

There's a fight guys, there's a fight.

Come on, two sheilas, two sheilas.

You rotten cow.

Go on home to your mommy and daddy.

There's no place for you here.

Okay, let's make this a real show.

If that's the way you want to play it.

That's one for Nel.

Come on you fucking slut.

Oh yeah, come on.

Stop this, you're not animals.

Not yet.

Stop it.

Give her the claws.

Stop. Stop it.

Just stop.

We have a winner.

We got a winner.

We'll get you to a doctor.

Oh, she's coming with me. She's coming with me.

You know what they call these?

The 10 commandments.

Thou shalt not fight.

She started it.

thou shalt not diddle thou employer.

I was gonna give you your share of every penny.

Darling, do I look like I came down in the last shower?

Now this is gonna hurt.

Jesus Christ.

Looks like you'll be taking a little holiday.

What does that mean?

No Johnny's gonna want a girl with scabby titties, is he?

There's no work for you here, my girl.

Not until them puppies get better

and let's hope they do get better.

You'll be looking for gainful employment at Sargeants Pies.

Don't.

Penny for them?

Do you mind?

Name's Greg.

I know who you are.

So what were you thinking?

If you must know, I was thinking

about ways of killing Nellie Cameron.

Do you wanna shoot her for me?

I, I saw the stoush.

Yeah, I know.

you work for Kate Leigh, don't you?

She looking for any more girls?

Oh, she doesn't run prossies.

I know that.

I was thinking about starting a new career.

Oh, must have had a bad oyster.

Starlight, star bright.

First star I see tonight.

I wish I may, I wish I might.

Have the wish I wish tonight.

I give you my wish.

Wishes were horses.

Then beggars would ride.

You've been here all evening?

Yeah.

Is Jim been-

What Tilly?

Behaving himself?

Yeah.

I cooked him some dinner.

I was a cook in the army.

Oh, I never knew that.

I freaking seeded his grapes.

Before or after he pickled them.

He's a man with a big appetite.

That he is.

Who can blame him when there's so much temptation around?

Night.

Nighty night Tilly.

Where have you been?

You know where I've been.

I had some papers to go over with Mr. Madsen.

Oh, you took long enough.

I mean, you could've come too instead of boozing on

at Max.

I'm doing this for us, you know.

I'm gonna grind that manky cow into the dust.

You want a cuddle?

Do you believe in love at first sight?

Of course I do.

You do?

I'm a romantic.

That happens to me all the time.

I mean true love.

So do I.

The love poets write about.

How do I love thee let me count the ways.

The love people cross continents for,

I believe in having a good time.

Hm?

I believe in never being on my own.

And you know, I really, really love ciggies.

Your ex boyfriend's a hard man.

Calletti.

He's nothing I can't handle.

And what if he comes after me?

You better get a gun.

Nellie!

Nel, Albert has asked me to marry him.

I said yes!

Eileen, that's wonderful.

What does your mum think?

She couldn't be happier.

You will be my bridesmaid, won't you?

Please say yes.

Oh, of course I will.

I'd love to, sweetheart.

Eileen.

Good day Eric.

You know Albert?

Good day.

The kids are engaged snugs. Isn't that bonza?

Congratulations.

Oh!

You all right?

Yeah, good.

You will come to the saloon tonight, won't ya?

We're having a do to celebrate. Free grog.

We'll be there with bells on.

I love a big shabu,

I'm going to have to find something special to wear.

Yeah, you will.

Oi, take your hands off my girl.

Guido don't interrupt.

I don't want any trouble.

It's too late, you mug. Piss off.

Be a man Eric, stand up to him.

You piss off.

What did you just say mate?

I said you piss off.

Go. I'll see you tonight.

What have I done?

Go!

But.

No one's gonna say anything Eric.

Just go, leave.

Oh.

Oh, it's beautiful.

We just nicked it this avo.

Pulling your leg.

Thank you ladies and gents.

The boys and I are gonna take a short break.

Maybe time to offer your congratulations

to the happy couple.

Hi.

Guido Calletti was shot five times that day,

but due to his strong constitution

and the inferior quality of the ammunition, no doubt,

his injuries were only minor.

I heard the fellow's hiring.

He's gonna go all the to Bondi for a good time.

Yeah, true.

Evening boys.

Thought you were dead.

Guido Calletti's outside.

I told you he wasn't badly hurt.

I shot him four times.

Five.

How the hell is he here?

I don't know. He is an idiot.

I'm not going out there.

What? Stuff him.

Oh, he is not gonna go away.

I know what he's like.

What sort of maniac is-

You've beaten him once, you can beat him again.

You are so much better than him in every single way.

You want me to go out there? You want me to face him?

I want you to be my hero.

Isn't that the kind of love that we were talking about?

You coming?

the shifty prat.

You got that toy gun of yours?

- Look Calletti. - You shifty prat.

That's a real gun.

There, steady guts.

He just pulled his gun out and shot him.

Just pulled it out and shot. No warning.

Nothing.

And this is all related to drugs. Cocaine?

No, it's about a girl.

You sure it was Guido Calletti?

No question about it.

And you're willing to testify to this?

Let's have a word with that dago prick, aye.

I am gonna get you that ring now with the diamonds.

I promise.

Gotta be careful. It's loaded.

I shut him up good and proper, aye?

It makes my tongue tingle.

Makes all of me tingle.

Me too.

- Open up police. - What?

Shit.

It doesn't open.

Hold it there Calletti.

What?

What?

One round discharged.

You broke my door.

You're nicked Calletti.

For what?

For shooting Eric Connelly outside Kate Leigh's saloon.

What? That singer bloke?

Guido was with me.

We were there, but we left after 11 and went straight home.

Bullshit.

And we have witnesses who will testify it's bullshit.

You're coming with us.

Oh, outta interest. Is he dead?

No. No, thanks to you.

When the detectives get back,

they'll take your statements.

Sit down and wait.

This is a joke.

I'm an innocent man.

Yeah and I'm a Shia Persia.

I'm gonna log this be with you boys in a minute.

He give you any trouble?

Nothing we couldn't handle.

Got some drunks out back I've gotta hose down.

You alright here?

Yeah, we're alright.

It was never determined

how Calletti was left alone with the two eyewitnesses.

But it only took a heartbeat

for him to get his message across.

And when Eric Connolly found he couldn't actually remember

who shot him, any case against Guido collapsed.

I'm very pleased to publish for the first time the bands

of marriage between Albert Reginald Duke

of the Parish of Wittersham in Old Blighty

and our own Eileen Leigh of this parish.

Stupid stupid stupid man.

I told you to keep an eye on her.

A whirlwind romance.

I'm afraid everything's a little topsy turvy.

Are you up the duff?

No, no I'm not.

Your parents will be coming over

for the wedding of course.

Afraid not. No.

Father's quite elderly

and they're not in the best of health, so.

Do they have a bob or two?

Ma.

It's tradition for the bride's parents

to pay for the wedding.

It's tradition for you to ask me permission first.

Maybe we would've if you weren't in jail.

Eileen says,

I make her the happiest she's ever been in her whole life.

Huh?

Is that right?

All right.

What's done is done.

I'm very happy for you both.

Everything's arranged.

We settle on Monday at the close of business.

When can we kick the old bitch's lackeys out and move in?

Immediately.

Monday night?

Yes.

You fucking beauty.

Calls for another beer.

Oh!

There's something else I'd like to talk to you about

on a more personal scale.

Hey, love. Thought you on holidays.

I set her up with a few twists. Like we agreed.

I thought I'd try moving them at the arms.

I know a lot of the blokes there and they know me.

Makes sense.

Yeah. Talk about bad timing though.

No sooner than I'd got there than I see Tilly and Big Jim.

I thought I better piss off quick.

If Tilly saw me there working for Kate,

she'd kill me.

But it was too late.

Thought you on holidays.

Oh, I am just popped in for a bit of a drink.

Who's that coat?

That's some real estate bloke.

We're buying Kate Leigh's saloon.

What?

The whole building. Deal goes through Monday.

I could tell Kate. Get out.

Greg. Hold the fort.

Good work.

Thanks.

I'll burn the fucking house down before that bitch

sets one foot - Katie.

Inside of that house.

Kate, Katie.

God, help me.

Katie.

It ain't done yet. The deal. It ain't done.

Outbid us.

How the fuck could that poxy cow outbid us,

she wasn't even supposed to know we were buying

the fucking dump.

Love.

Don't you love me, Jim.

You mentioned this to any of your mates?

Of course not.

Then how the fuck did they find out?

I don't know, just calm down will you.

I'm gonna throw that fucking slut down.

Listen love.

You didn't wanna get into slide grog anyway.

Look at me. You're better than that.

Yeah, you're right. I'm not some filthy slide grogger.

Course you're not. You're a lady.

You're a class act.

Better than that bitch will ever be.

Too right.

Made her pay well above market value as well.

She paid a fortune for a place

she was already fucking renting. Cheap.

It's gonna make you feel good.

Oh, it makes me feel fucking marvelous.

Signed, sealed, and delivered.

Can only be one queen. Looks like I'm it.

No doubt about it.

Just wait outside, Wal.

Alright mate, let's go.

No, not you. Just wait outside.

Your highness.

What a beautiful boy.

Guido Calletti could never

stay out of trouble for long

and he could never resist the lure of a drunk

with a loaded wallet, a handy bit of timber,

and a secluded laneway.

It was only a matter of time

before he was locked up for good.

Give my regard to the bay, dago.

Which meant Nellie Cameron

was going to have to wait for her diamond ring.

But perhaps she had other things to think about.

with Guido out of circulation, she fell back into the arms

of the little gunman, Frank Green.

The girl they called Black Aggie,

turned her back on prostitution.

She was looking forward to a bright future

with her new love Greg, the gunman, Gaffney.

And queen Tilly, well, queen Tilly

was moving her court from the loins of temptation

all the way out to the suburbs.

Don't even come this far for me holidays.

Who lives here?

We do.

It's a palace.

Which only left Wally Tomlinson.

Cuckolded by the woman he loved.

What on earth was a man supposed to do?
