Schapelle Page #2

---

She is innocent. We are hoping to

hear from the airport in Australia

soon so that she may be released.

Has she been set up?

Yes, she has been set up.

Do you think someone could be that

stupid, that crazy to do this?

Schapelle, is there anything you'd

like to say to the Australian public?

Help me.

Help me.

And tell my

Mum and Dad that I love them.

What we do know

is that a 27-year-old

beauty student

from the Gold Coast faces

the death

penalty after Balinese officials

opened Schapelle Corby's bag and

found 4.2 kilograms of marijuana

leaf inside a large plastic bag.

Has Gold Coast Mick got a girl?

How would I bloody know?

Schapelle Corby is being accused

of importing the largest ever

seizure

of marijuana by a foreigner

into Bali.

Is she related to Mick?

Well, his daughter's got some

weird

bullshit made-up name like that.

Can I just ask about

this girl in Bali matter?

My office is being

pressured by her lawyers.

Do you have any information?

Is she innocent?

Could she have been set up?

Minister Downer, we're tracing

any networks she had abroad.

The Indonesians are

compiling any intel on

intercountry narcotic distribution

she could have been engaged in.

It's a good test of our

new understanding with

the Indonesian police.

So back to my question.

I would urge extreme caution in

providing public

statements of support.

From what I've seen to date,

in all probability, guilty.

So first we will need CCTV footage

and X-rays from Brisbane

and Sydney. Vasu.

I'm sorry, who... who is this?

Sorry, traffic.

This is Vasu, my business partner.

He's going to be your case

coordinator. Pleased to meet you.

We call him Mr Fix-it.

Mr Fix-it. Continue, please.

But the baggage weight will

prove that I didn't do it.

And the fingerprints.

I mean, her fingerprints

aren't going to be on the bag.

No. But the drugs

were in your bag.

That, pure and simple, is enough

for the prosecution to establish

a case against you.

The director of narcotics just

told Indonesian journalists that

you last visited Bali

earlier this year.

Well, that's bullshit.

And it's on her passport.

The last time that she

visited Bali was four years ago.

Shouldn't she get

a blood and urine test?

We can wait a few more days.

Why?

Because he doesn't believe me.

No, no, no, no.

Tonight on A Current Affair...

I don't think there's anybody

who thinks she's innocent.

Certainly none of the Indonesian

police

or prosecutors or detectives.

Well, she's keeping...

Oh, no. She's a good, strong girl.

What are you doing?

They don't care about Schapelle.

The government is doing

bloody nothing.

This lot's flying me

up there to get her home.

They're just using you for the

ratings or whatever it is they do.

Corby?

Oh, my God. No. No.

Oh, my God.

Either we don't have footage from

Bali customs the day you arrived or

we don't have cameras here.

No cameras? I thought

they would see that, see me

lifting up the board, happy.

You have to have cameras.

Qantas has given us your baggage

weights. That'll prove everything.

It was for 68kg in total.

In total?

You checked in as a group,

Schapelle.

Oh. Shouldn't they be

weighing stuff separately?

There's no legal requirement.

Great, so you've got no good news.

Can I use your phone, please?

She's been framed.

And when were you last in Bali?

I was over there last

month ago, actually.

I'm having cancer treatment

and wasn't feeling too bad,

so I thought best go when I could,

to see my eldest daughter early for

her birthday.

So does she live there?

No, she bloody does not.

When was the last... Did you see

her on the morning of the trip?

Hello?

Dad, it's me.

Pel.

I'm just wondering

what the oncologist said.

Never mind me. Got to get you home.

Merc's doing that.

Don't worry, you just...

Don't stress, OK?

Dad, you've got to say something

otherwise I'll think you're not there.

Um... you know that

big Russian book I was reading?

I finished it the day you...

anyway.

In one bit this old bloke

looks at all his kids and realises

they've all got bits of him,

bits of his characteristics.

One of them had resilience.

I'll look it up.

Or get two for the price of one. That's

right - two phones for the price of one.

Only at Mad Ron's.

I declare this ad

officially launched.

Cheers! Cheers.

Thanks for the ad guys

and for you guys

from the stores for being here.

Here's to selling

more phones and enjoy!

Thank you.

Hey, why don't you

do the next one while

you're on fire, huh?

Because your phones are so hot.

Yeah, right.

Schapelle, the customs

officer believes you're lying.

- They didn't even ask me to unzip it.

- Hey, Ron, there's that chick.

I've opened it and gone and

seen it and thought, "Oh, my God,

"I'm in trouble." Inside the bag

was marijuana with an estimated

street value of over $80,000.

Do you think she's innocent?

Poor girl if she is.

Never defended a criminal

who isn't.

She's never been

in trouble before.

She's a lovely girl.

Back to the coalface, hey.

Alright, mate. See you guys.

She had her bag unlocked,

with her name on it. Bye.

Indonesian police have confirmed

that Queenslander Schapelle Corby

could face the death penalty

in her Bali drug smuggling case.

Your husband

doesn't own a surf shop?

I said it all in the press

conference yesterday.

No! He doesn't.

And he never has

and neither have I.

And we don't live in Bali,

we're just here for a few months.

Please, please.

How often does she come to Bali?

Mum, my God.

Are you looking forward to

seeing Schapelle? Yes, I am.

Have you spoken to Schapelle?

Yes, of course I have.

What have you brought her?

What was your reaction when

you heard the news?

Are you hoping to take her home?

Come on, mum.

Yes. She'll be coming home soon.

Please. Move away.

Excuse me, get out of my face.

Get out of my face.

Oh, my little girl.

Oh, Mum.

Oh, my God. This is...

This is...

Oh, God.

I'm not going to cry, alright?

I want to but I'm not going to.

You won't stay here.

Merc's pushing

to get you into the proper jail.

Jeez, that didn't sound too good,

did it?

He probably thinks we're mad.

Is dad...

He's still on his injections.

He's good, he's good.

I'm so sorry.

Sshh.

Whoever done this to you,

they're going to pay, big time.

Thanks for being here.

Sort of like going

on summer camp, right?

Oh, thanks. Mattress, at last.

You want to give

aunty Pel the picture?

Oh, thanks.

I'll put it up in my office

straightaway.

It looks like the same time.

I'll see you tomorrow, OK?

I'll bring you some notebooks.

- Say "bye Aunty Pel."

- Bye, Aunty Pel.

Love you. Love you, Pel.

Love you, Pel.

I love you.

We are still searching for

something

to just get us over the line,

a reasonable defence so that if we

have to

appeal her sentence down

the track we can...

What sentence?

Oh. Mum.

She'll be home for my birthday.

Unfortunately they've appointed
