Schapelle Page #3

---

Ida Bagus Wiswantanu

as the chief prosecutor.

He's handled about

200 narcotics cases and claims

that in 90% of those cases

he's obtained

the sentence he was after.

And the judge is the one who

sentenced the Bali bomber to death.

I mean, I'm just saying Mum...

Alright, Mercedes.

We need to give the judges

a door to walk through. Alright,

what about the fingerprints?

Why don't fingerprint inside

the bag that the drugs were in?

We will keep trying

but the police will say it isn't

crucial and the prosecutors

will say have evidence

without fingerprints.

She said the boogie

board bag was hers

and the drugs were inside the bag.

The other way is if

she pleads guilty

and gives them names.

How can she? Hmm?

What names?

Hmm?

What names could she possibly give?

She can't just make up names.

Schapelle, come here.

You want to know what

everyone is thinking?

What?

That you're really

covering up for your dad,

your old man.

What? All fellas are bastards.

Schapelle's trial starts in under

two weeks and we have a board

full of calls. Yes, Roger.

The brother-in-law

owns a surf shop.

Why bring your own boogie board

when her brother could have loaned

her one? Your thoughts, Samantha?

I mean, who ever heard

of taking dope to Bali?

They've got all they need

up there.

See, that's a good point.

Why would anyone take drugs to

Bali?

I think I'm going to have a nice

steak

and a glass of

that Heathcote shiraz.

Poor girl if she's innocent.

What if that was my sister?

The death penalty hanging

over her head? Yeah.

My PA reckons I should

do something, help her.

Like what? Raise money for her.

They're collecting money for her all over

the place. I'll do another workathon.

Don't you ever just

want to be normal?

What, like you? Yeah, like me.

I'm very normal.

I'm very, very normal.

Mate, I'm more normal than you.

Mum.

Come on.

It's too much.

It's filthy.

They can't make her sit in

this filth for hours on end.

It's a disgrace.

A total bloody disgrace.

Are you nervous about your

first day in court?

What will you say to the judge,

Schapelle?

She acted suspiciously

when she walked over

to pick up her bags.

She refused to open it

when she got to customs.

She said the marijuana was hers.

Does the prisoner understand?

I understand but it isn't true.

When I asked the boy

to check the bag

she said, "No, it's mine",

and I thought maybe

I made a mistake.

She is just a nice young woman.

There's nothing.

Can you open the big one, please?

Can you finish it, please?

Please, open it.

No. Why not?

Because I have some...

Do you know what it is in the bag?

It's marijuana.

How do you know that?

Because I

can smell when you open it.

Do you agree?

No, he's lying, your Honour.

Which parts are untrue?

I surrendered my bag

without being asked.

Can you tell me your name, please?

Schapelle Corby.

I was not suspicious

looking or acting restless.

I was happy because

I was on holiday and I love Bali.

Then I was surprised,

first because the zippers

were closed in the middle which

close them together at the top.

Then I see a plastic bag and

half open and I'm like,

whoa, a strong smell came out.

He didn't ask me to open the bag.

I don't remember saying anything

or hitting anyone's hand.

I don't know anything about drugs.

Can I please ask

aren't there security

cameras in customs so I can prove

that I willingly opened the bag?

Why did you come to Bali?

Because my dad's really sick

and he's about to go into intense

treatment and so I saved up $1300,

my mum gave me $500

and my dad gave

me $600 because I needed a holiday

before my dad got really sick.

Schapelle.

Byron Bay.

ACT.

Rockhampton.

Brissy.

Mooney Beach. Corby. Visitor.

Who? Do I know them or...

Dad.

You're here.

I almost didn't come out cos I

get these visitors and I don't

know who they are and...

I'm so sorry.

What are you sorry for?

You got nothing to be sorry for.

You look so sad.

I'd change places

with you if they'd...

I asked but...

I don't know what to do.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

No drugs in Bali.

No drugs in Bali.

No drugs in Bali.

No drugs in Bali.

Schapelle... Schapelle,

how are they treating you?

Schapelle... Schapelle, what will

you say to the judge today?

No drugs in Bali.

No drugs in Bali.

No drugs in Bali.

No drugs in Bali.

How long has Schapelle

been involved in drugs?

How much did you get paid to

write these terrible signs?

No-one seems to be trying to find

out who put the bloody

stuff in her bag.

No drugs in Bali.

No drugs in Bali.

Get away.

You seem pretty

upset about the whole...

No drugs in Bali.

No drugs in Bali.

Are you alright?

They want me dead, mum.

I gave the flippers to Schapelle.

She took them from me and opened

the boogie board bag.

She put them into the boogie

board bag, so you

could clearly see inside the bag.

Did you see the transparent bag?

No, I did not.

Thanks, guys.

I got a PI to look into her

but he couldn't find anything.

A few rumours but you know me,

I don't put stock in rumours.

Look, instead of doing

the children's hospital or whatever

this year I thought maybe you could

join her legal team. Run it, maybe.

What are you willing

to throw at it?

Could raise 40, maybe 50 grand.

Her supporters are out there

selling stubbie holders for her.

If her main defence

is two friends and a relative,

then she's currently f***ed.

I'm in.

Only if she's innocent. Serious.

Only if I know for sure

she didn't do it.

Well how are you ever

going to know that?

Sorry. My problem is huge, right?

It's the customs officers against

everyone and they are accusing me

of something so small -

me opening the bag without being

asked and it's the death penalty?

And then how can

I even stay in here?

I can't.

I'd rather die.

Look, I have to ask

the same thing that...

Were they your drugs?

No.

Do you know who put

the drugs in your bag? No.

Is there anybody in your family

doing drugs, in the drug business?

No.

Would you just excuse us

for a minute, Schapelle?

I'm worried about the when,

that's all.

When do you feel for her?

I feel for my kids,

I feel for my wife.

Come on, man, just tell me

what you think, your instincts.

It's innocent.

Yeah.

Innocent.

You're sure?

Yeah.

Right, Schapelle. We're doing this.

He's one of the best on the Gold

Coast and he's worked in Asia.

We will do everything that we

possibly can, everything to get

you out of here,

as long as we've got

your permission to put our own

Jakarta team in if we need to.

What?

I tried to get a phone from Mad

Ron's near Tugun

just before I left

but they knocked me back

because my credit was so bad.

Happens to the best of people.

I've crashed and burned

a few times myself.

When we get you out of here, love,

you can have all the phones

that you want, I promise.

Thank you. Thank you.

Leaving aside your legal expertise

and Robin's as the top criminal
