Dad!

I'm so sorry.

What?

I'm sorry I lied about Hawaii.

Honey, it's all right.

We're gonna get you out of here.

Don't worry. Whatever it takes.

Tell everyone I didn't do it.

- What?

- We didn't do it!

They know that. Everybody

knows that, baby.

Everybody back home

misses you, sweetie.

- Why would you want to come here?

- I'm so sorry.

That's all right.

We'll find a way, okay?

Everything is gonna work out,

I promise.

It'll be okay.

I love you.

He's going to get us out.

- He said us?

- Yeah, he wants to see you.

You always thought

you were so smart.

I hope you're proud of yourself.

- Mr. Davis...

- You're a schemer.

You think I don't know you?

You are dead wrong.

Every word out of your mouth is a lie.

Six years old, paint on your hands,

on our couch.

"I didn't do it."

16 years old, the beer cans

in my car. "I didn't do it."

Let me hear you say it again.

Say it in here.

Come on, for old times' sake.

I didn't do it!

I'm so glad he's here.

He's being so great about it.

He really knows

how to grease the wheels.

He'll know what to do.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

- Why aren't you excited?

- I am.

Did he tell you

he spoke to your dad?

Goddamn it!

You like?

Good fish heads.

No! It's a matter of days now.

I told the detective the truth.

I told him about Nick Parks and all

the events leading up to our arrest.

I signed a statement...

...assuming it was just a translation

of what I said.

But these aren't my words.

I never said any of that.

That's the truth.

- What happened?

- Don't worry, we'll appeal.

You can request a pardon.

He found you both guilty.

- For how long?

- Good news. It wasn't life.

You both got numbered sentences.

- For how long?

- 33 years.

- Daddy!

- Honey, I'll take care of everything.

Yes, we're all over it.

Listen, I gotta go.

Sorry about that. Couldn't be helped.

- I know how you must feel.

- Fellas, look...

I know what goes on around here.

They take drugs seriously.

- There's no doubt...

- Come on.

Nobody here really wants

to stop the drugs. They're all...

I don't care if Thailand drowns

in heroin. That's their business.

Your business is to help

American citizens.

She didn't do anything.

They're not gonna make

an example of my little girl...

...with some trumped-up charge.

You pull strings all the time.

You could pull them for my daughter.

The DEA will continue

our investigation.

If we find the alleged man

who lured your daughter into this...

...we'll certainly

introduce that in an appeal.

I know this is difficult for you.

But the best thing

you can do is go home.

Go back to your family.

Nothing will fall through the cracks.
