Brokedown Palace Page #5

We'll keep you informed.

That's a promise.

So here we are.

Just two more drug smugglers.

I don 't even know why

I'm making this tape.

How do you do?

I'm Henry Greene.

Hank Greene, actually.

- Who are you?

- Yankee Hank?

Yankee Hank, or Hank the Yank,

or whatever.

What can I do for you?

You want a cigarette?

- So you're like a lawyer?

- No, I am a lawyer.

Is this pro bono work that you do?

Pro bono? No.

So I listened to your narrative.

Forgive me if I'm blunt,

but there's nothing there.

You just claim you didn't know

about the smack. If you're lying...

...you're brainy and stupid.

If it's true, you're just stupid.

So I gotta ask a few questions.

Who was carrying

the luggage with the drugs?

I was.

You had a couple kilos of heroin.

You didn't notice the extra weight?

- I didn't. I just didn't.

- We were late.

Yeah, of course.

- Who packed the bag?

- I did.

Alice, what does your father do?

Works at Bekins.

- Does he run a branch office?

- He rents trucks.

And your mom?

She died when I was 7.

Sorry to hear that.

What happened?

Car accident.

- And your dad?

- Insurance.

And my mom sells real estate.

Part-time.

I'll call to see

if they'll contribute...

...to their daughters' liberation

fund.

- What are you gonna do?

- Get you out.

Start writing letters

to lawmakers back home.

Congressmen. The president.

If you know a priest.

You want me to write

to my congressman?

That's right. I'll be in touch, girls.

- He's totally sleazy.

- Don't say that.

Greene? You say you're Thai?

Well, I might as well be.

I'm American, but I know

their justice system.

- Now there's an oxymoron.

- Yeah.

My wife, Yon,

is also a practicing attorney...

...born in Bangkok.

We've helped a lot of families.

We could help your daughter.

What do you want out of this?

I'm just a broker.

We're looking for our usual retainer.

Which is...

...$ 15,000.

$ 15,000?

7500 to try to get a hearing

and 7500 if we do.

That's for both girls.

Wait, for both girls?

- Darlene needs her own trial.

- You don't want to do that.

The strongest point is

that Alice didn't sign a confession.

Separate them, and you're begging

for Darlene to be singled out.

Do you wanna take a day or two?

No. God, no.

I'll get the money.

I'll call Marano

and wire it to you.

Great. We'll be in touch.

Who got you these tickets?

Same guy who introduced me

to these babies.

Well, hello there. Thank you.

Our next Minister of Justice.

He's worked hard for it.

He's working his fingers to the bone.

I love that guy!

I love that guy, man!

This is great.

No problem.

So when do I get the file

on Davis and Marano?

Those girls have no chance
