and we've taken the

entire division to siege.

Then we'll grab the keys, go

through the whole joint, cell by cell...

and I will icepick the f***ing spines

of every prisoner in this division.

Make paraplegics of all of them.

Turn them all into jelly sandwiches.

- I don't wanna be in it.

- Are you a girl's dress.

I don't care what you say.

The blokes down there haven't got

$10,000. They haven't got 10,000 cents.

They haven't got

any sense at all mate.

It's simple, we do it all in

one night. We go swoop...

Wake up in the morning, problem solved.

I've got my appeal going.

I don't wanna f*** it up.

You'll be in it though won't you?

Do I have to remind

you of certain things?

- You're never gonna let me forget

that f***ing judge are you? - No.

And as for you, you knucklehead...

When it starts you jump straight in.

If you stand there thinking about it for

two f***ing seconds you are back there...

In the yard, crying, like

when I first met you. Right?

Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Want a smoke?

Ta Jimmy.

Anyway, Swallow didn't come out.

He said to wait till the next morning.

So I was thinking mate,

I saw him in the dunny...

He was there with the

toothpick trying to go at it.

It's a bit early in the morning

for kung-fu isn't it Jim?

What's the matter with you?

Hang on a second.

What are you doing?

What's got into you?

Come here mate.

Sorry, Chop.

It's alright.

Sh*t!

Jim if you keep stabbing me

you're gonna kill me, right?

You can let go.

I can't let you go Jimmy,

you've got a knife in your hand.

You let me go i'll drop that shiv.

You drop the knife

and then i'll let you go.

You let me go i'll drop the shiv, i'll drop off.

Let go of the knife Jimmy.

Ok i'll drop off, let go of my hands.

I'm gonna let you go, ok?

Go and sit down.

Terrific sneak Jim, bloody terrific.

You obviously listened

and learnt well didn't you?

Always give credit where credit is due.

I give you top marks for treachery.

Blue, you're bloody useless.

You alright Chop?

Yeah i'm alright.

- Jesus mate, does it hurt?

- No.

I think you'd better lie down..

What for?

It'll do you good mate.

Come on let me help out,

you'd better lie down and lie still.

Just like that.

Sorry Chop.

Sorry.

- Cut me. - No, I can't

f***ing cut you mate!

Bluey, cut me!

I can't cut you mate.

- I can't do it.

- P*ssy f***er...

- Put the knife down.

- He's a madman, he attacked me.

Put the knife down.

- Ok, he attacked me first.

- Put the knife down.

We're not letting anyone out of

here until the knife goes on the table.

- He's a psycho, just get him out of here.

- Put it on the table Jim!

Put it down!

Chopper went f***ing mad!

He f***ing tried to stab Jimmy.

He attacked him first.

He attacked me first boss, right?

How about getting someone

to look at my arm?

How are you Mark?

Are you prepared

to make a statement?

The bloke's been my

best mate since 1975.

We've had our fallouts from

time to time, that's no big deal.

If your mum stabs you what do you do?

You don't get upset,

you don't get angry.

You go "Sh*t, mum's stabbed me,

i'd better get to the hospital."

He's made a statement against you Mark.

No he hasn't.

Have a look at that.

That's not Jimmy,

Jimmy wouldn't do that.

He's done it.

He's also filed a claim with the

victims of crime compensation board.

Victims of crime,

how much can he get?

$5,000.

Jimmy Loughnan,

a bloody victim fo crime?!

Sh*t. Cheeky dog!

If he's charged...

Does that mean I can

lay a claim against him?

Is that you Jimmy?

You weak c*nt!

You coulda had me but you lost

your guts at the last second didn't ya?

I tell you Jim,

if i'd had had the knife...

you wouldn't have got a stab in the

arm, i'd have cut your f***ing head off!

Mark, why you

ganging up against Jim?

He's the one who made the

first statement against me.

Cops were gonna charge me

with attempted murder...

because of a statement made by

Jimmy, my-lips-are-sealed Loughnan.

The prick even filed a victims

of crime compo claim against me.

But he's the one who's

been charged Mark.

You can't stand up in court against him.

Who do you think I am

blue? The Red Cross?

I'm not running some public charity here.

Mark, you know i've always

had a lot of time for you but...

Jimmy's the one who's been charged.

I think the main thing,

you know Mark...

Is that Jim doesn't get

more jail out of this.

"Jimmy doesn't get any

more jail out of this"

Well he'd better get himself a

real f***ing lawyer then hadn't he?.

The matter of the police

versus James Richard Loughnan.

Mrs Newman is appearing

for the prosecution.

The defendant is not represented.

Mr Read, have you been searched prior to

your appearance in this courtroom today?

Yeah, by all and sundry.

Everyone's had a go at it.

And why do you think that is Mr Read?

Well they search everyone,

especially you Mr Loughnan.

I put it to you that the reason

you were searched so thoroughly...

is because you have a history of

violent behaviour in courtrooms.

Are you not currently serving

of 14 and a half years...

for the attempted

abduction of a judge?

That's 16 and a half years Jimmy.

I'm told you used a shotgun in this

attempted abduction, is that so?

Yeah, I had it right

here under my coat.

- There ain't nothing don't there now.

- I wish there was.

I bet you do. Who would you

like to use it on? This judge?

No, i'd use it on you at the moment.

Yeah, I bet you would.

You hold human life very cheaply?

Some human life yeah.

You have a lot of hostility

towards me don't you?

No, I perish the thought. I even lent

you that suit you're wearing today.

You lent him that suit?

Yeah, I realise it's not a

fashion competition your honour,

but if he'd have worn

what he was gonna wear,

you'd have given him

I am a friend of yours am I not?

It's been alleged that you are.

And you are in fact serving

a sentence of 17 years...

because you tried to free

me from jail, is that so?

Yes.

And yet you've told the court that I

attacked you on the morning of August 20?

- Is that right?

- Yes.

Why would I attack you Mr Read?

Who knows how your mind works Jim.

So all the people we've

heard in court today,

some of them you consider

to be your friends,

they're all telling lies?

Just a group of people banding

together to find a common enemy.

- Even your friends?

- Oh yeah.

Armed police surrounded

Brunswick court today during...

a case involving notorious

criminal Mark Brandon Read.

Read was giving evidence in the communal

proceedings of fellow prisoner James...

Figure this out Blue.

I'm the one on trial, he's

the one all over the news.

That's a nice little photo of you Jimmy...

A nice little photo.

You are sucha f***ing

show pony, aren't you?

You could use that in your passport.

You f***ing bighead wanker!

Keithy was right about you mate.

You bash people for no reason

just to get a name for yourself.

Well one day they'll write

a book about me Jimmy.
