They've scheduled the hearing
for the Burmese.
- Where are you going?
- They should have a copy.
You're crazy.
It's pouring out there.
I know.
I'm not sure where to start.
You're probably fast-forwarding already.
We shouldn 't be here.
We're from Ohio. A dinky
little town called Upland.
I'm Alice Marano.
My best friend is Darlene Davis.
- I don't know about Hawaii anymore.
- What?
It's like a bunch of tourists
on family vacations.
We met as babies, crawled to each
other on a neighbor's lawn.
That's what my mom used to say.
Get closer to your sister.
Teachers said I was the bad one,
Darlene was good.
We didn 't care. It was a joke to us.
We knew how we were.
It was always the two of us.
Doug, could you take
a picture of me and Alice?
Darlene was going to college.
We decided to have a knockout
trip together.
Celebrate our sorrows. After that...
...for the first time in our lives,
we wouldn 't be together.
So it had to be amazing.
Memorable.
Hawaii seemed so middle-class.
Like our parents ' version of fun.
I wanted it to be special.
Not that she would ever forget me.
Then someone mentioned Thailand.
It was as simple as that.
Strange how little things
make big things happen.
Ferg told us his brother spent
a summer in Bangkok for under $500.
I learned that Thailand means freedom.
the exact thing we were looking for.
- I do. It's my dad.
- You're so afraid of him.
- He's already being a dick...
...about my off-campus apartment.
Now I'm going to Bangkok.
- What'd you tell your dad?
- I said you were going, he said okay.
He doesn't care anyway...
...as long as I still have
my exciting career.
Just don't tell your dad.
Let him think we're in Hawaii.
It's only 11 days.
How's he gonna find out?
for nine hours of the flight.
By the 24th hour,
she was too tired to care.
It took forever to find the hotel.
Funny what forever used to feel like.
This is it?
- Doesn't look royal.
- How much royal do you want for $6?
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- What is it?
- Oh, God!
It's a huge roach!
Thais have so much respect
for their monarch...
...that up until
...no one could utter
His Majesty's name.
Buying and then releasing
captive animals...
...is also considered meritorious.
A number of vendors around Bangkok
sell birds for this purpose.
- God, enough with this heat.
- Exactly.
I'm tempted to jump in the river.
How bad can raw sewage be?
They dump human waste, bathe
and drink, all in one river.
Give me that geek book.
Tell me you brought a bathing suit.
- But I'm not going in there.
- Come here.
What if we're caught?
Go in like you own the place.
Welcome to first class.
Something to eat or drink?
- Two of those, please.
- What room number?
- We'll just pay cash.
- 414.
Come on. They don't care.
Lotion.
Thank you.
That's me.
I'm gonna be her.
I'm her divorce lawyer.
- I want both houses and the nanny.
- You've got to have her.
- The girls are crazy about Helga.
- Let's make him pay.
Damn right.
Exactly.
You say room number 414?
414? That man number 414.
I was sure...
Oh, it's 416. I'm sorry.
- You stay here?
- Our room's up there.
What's your name?
This is really inappropriate.
Our room...
God, it's right up there.
- What's your name?
- Room 333.
Bloody hell, I can't take
you two anywhere.
Sorry, mate. It's been a bit
of a blur of hotel rooms.
- Cheers.
- Thank you.
I've got to shoot through.
Excuse me.
- We'll pay you back.
- No worries, it's fine.
- Can we get you a drink?
Okay.
I'll take it for the wanker in 333
who left his key in the men's room.
Come on.
But the man said it was solid wood.
What?
Oh, great.
Don't worry. You're in the fake Rolex
capital of the world.
- Some look better than the real ones.
- So you're new in town.
- Where are you from?
- Australia. But I'm never there.
I do seminars for a software
company all over Asia.
I do bugger all most days.
Getting paid to sun-bake.
I'd kill for a gig like that.
Oh, God. Quick, eat rice.
It makes it go away.
Eat more. It's like...
...your mouth's gonna explode.
Nobody's laughing.
Come on. Have some more.
- You forgot your drink.
- I've had enough.
Beautiful night, isn't it?
Yeah.
Is this okay?
Are you okay with it?
Why would I care?
He's cute. Go for it.
Take notes. I want details.
I didn't know if you had keys.
- Where are you going?
- To the market. Coming?
No, I've got to get some sleep.
Sure. Okay.
- He wants to take us to Hong Kong.
- Us?
For the weekend.
He has to go on business and...
Oh, God. Alice, it was great.
And weird. And intense.
- I'm not going to Hong Kong.
- It's just a day or two.
- The flight's only two hours.
- What about the beaches?
Please?
I really like him.
Then go. I'm not mad.
But I'm not going.
Go. Have a great, weird time.
Don't I always do sh*t
like this for you?
Please?
Okay, Dar.
I like the black one.
It's nice. It suits you.
Did Darlene tell you about Hong Kong?
Yeah, she might have.
I'm flying out there this afternoon.
You guys can fly out tomorrow.
I'll get all my business done...
...then we can just have a good time.
Come on. I want you to come.
I've made the ultimate sacrifice.
One first-class ticket
cashed in for three economy.
You have no idea what you've
ultimately sacrificed.
I'll get it. How much?
What did you get?
You were gone so long.
I got you something.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
Thank you for coming to Hong Kong.
They said on CNN that it's gonna
be pouring in Hong Kong.
We'll buy umbrellas.
My top got all wet.
Alice, hurry, we're gonna be late.
- Does this look okay?
- Perfect. I'll see you downstairs.
- Okay?
- Okay!
- Who is it?
- It's Manat.
Your bags?
Okay. Just give me a minute.
- What have you been doing?
- I had to brush my hair.
Excuse me.
We're gonna be late.
Sh*t. They're boarding.
Sorry.
Alice!
- Where are we going?
- I don't know.
I'm an American.
May I telephone the Embassy?
- Darlene!
Who gave you the narcotics?
- I want an attorney.
- It was your friend?
I'm American. I have the right
to an attorney.
Yes. And one telephone call too.
Excuse me.
Excuse me?
I have to go to the bathroom.
Please, take me to the bathroom.
You sign.
This is in Thai. I can't sign this.
You sign.
I don't speak your language.
Darlene Davis?
Have you been here all day?
Yeah.
The bathroom is down the hall.
- Why were you going to Hong Kong?
- Just for fun.
You okay?
No.
No, Darlene, I'm definitely not okay.
We can't fall apart now.
Someone's gonna come for us.
- Who knows we're here?
- The embassy knows.
The detective called them for us.
Sure he did. Then he called
the president.
