I believe I'm really the source
of your good fortune.
How's that, sir?
I catch drug smugglers,
and you defend them.
I feel I'm owed some sort of
tribute from you.
It's a regular food chain.
Yes, that's exactly what it is.
a thing or two...
...about paying tribute to you.
I expect a little more from you.
You're acting like...
What's that American expression?
An ambulance chaser.
I'm kind of a loose cannon.
Know that American expression?
I'd love to blow this
out of the water.
You have a cozy relationship
with a known drug trafficker.
This is exactly the kind of thing...
...Americans love watching on TV.
Two American girls' lives ruined
by a sleazy smuggler...
...and the greedy cop in his pocket.
You'll have to get ready for
Larry King. You'll love him.
Barbara Walters will probably
have pictures of you.
Barbara and the parents
will go into the bedroom:
"This is Darlene's room,
exactly as she left it."
- Teddy bears...
- Is there a point to this fantasy?
Yes, sir, it's a simple point.
I need your help.
That's a good accent.
My Spanish teacher always told me,
"Good ear, bad memory."
- How's Darlene doing?
- She's better.
- We'll just wait for her.
- Can I ask you something?
Since there's no money left,
why are you here?
No matter how I look at it,
you don't deserve this.
- Even if I did it?
- Yeah, but...
You didn't do it.
We both know it.
I wanted you to hear this
at the same time.
You're gonna get to go home.
- How?
- You'll have to sign a statement.
Admit you're wrong. Forget Nick...
- A statement?
- I can't do that.
This is the official,
face-saving confession.
You corroborate the police
version of events.
That's our part of the deal.
Then the crown will pardon you.
Then you get to go home.
All right.
It's okay.
No pardon:
Narcotic offender.- What's the problem?
- No pardon.
Your Minister of Justice has agreed.
You tell him that we have
an agreement.
I'm sorry.
They are narcotics smugglers.
You son of a b*tch, we have a deal.
Yes, nicely done.
You really had me going.
But now there is no more Skip Carn.
No one will get to him, so no deal.
Wait.
No, get them off me.
You may speak English.
My best friend is not a drug smuggler.
She is innocent.
She's innocent.
All she ever did wrong
was to trust me.
Here you believe one friend
knows what the other does.
Maybe that's friendship...
...but I'm American, and I was not
that kind of a friend.
I know this.
Because I did it.
Because I was foolish...
...and jealous.
I was afraid she'd drift away.
I was afraid I was gonna lose her.
She never knew. It was all me.
She spent all this time
in your prison for my mistakes.
I'm sorry.
Please, if you need someone
to do the time, I'll do it.
I'll do her time and mine.
Just let her go, please.
Then you're of strong character
and would lie to save your friend?
No, I am of weak character.
And I just want to
make up for my mistakes.
If you're lying to
save your friend...
...then you're of sufficient character
to earn what you want.
If you're telling the truth...
...then your friend is innocent
and should go free.
If you are willing to serve
her term and yours...
...your friend is pardoned.
Thank you. Thank you.
Darlene must go soon.
You're a very good liar.
You didn't do it.
I know you didn't do it.
I don't think I can leave you.
If I say it was the truth...
...you'll hate me.
And if I say I lied...
...then when you go home,
all the time with your family...
You won't be able to just be happy.
So let's just say it was
Let's just leave it at that.
Come, Darlene.
- I'm going to get you out of here.
- I know.
Go, Dar. I need you to.
Please.
A lot of people won 't
understand why I said I did it.
But for me, it was
Maybe more right than
anything I ever did.
Darlene and Hank won 't stop trying...
...till I'm out of here.
Until I'm free.
