Show tomorrow morning.

Well, in the end what will happen

in the Schapelle Corby trial will

rest with the three judges

in Bali.

Just make sure the judges

do the right thing.

I still can't get over it,

going live right around

the country back home on the tele.

Yeah.

Do you know what she said

about it all going live?

She said,

"What if they want to watch

The Bold and the Beautiful, Mum?

They'll be that cross."

I mean, it could be that you're found

guilty and you have to serve some time.

Maybe seven months.

I don't want to get your hopes up.

The other day you said

maybe four or five years.

It's just...

I just don't want you to come

crashing down

if it's not what you want.

If I get jail time I don't want

you or Mum or Dad

to come and visit.

Why?

Because I'll be so upset and

the media scrum will

be crazy and...

60 Minutes has got us this villa

that we all go to,

however it goes.

Dad too?

Sure. That's good.

You guys go there.

Maybe I'll join you.

Yeah.

What if she gets 20 years?

Tomorrow we know.

You've done your best.

I've done mine.

We've created reasonable doubt.

How many of these phones do

you need, huh? Turn them off.

Every jury trial, and I've

been there a zillion times,

you worry, you lose f***ing sleep.

Sometimes you

just got to not care.

Rose thinks she's

bringing Schapelle home.

I'm going home.

...those sort of people are really looking

for a decision today that hopefully

will get her out.

Of course that's up to

the Indonesian judges.

Whenever I've come

to the Gold Coast

in the last few months there have

been lots of rumours circulating.

Schapelle!

Do you think

Schapelle's coming home?

It's a good day today because

my little girl's coming home.

Mercedes, are you expecting her

to come home?

Schapelle Corby left Kerobokan

prison about 30 minutes ago

accompanied by a police escort.

She is due to arrive at Denpasar

court in under ten minutes.

Schapelle...

Schapelle, how are you going?

Schapelle, Schapelle...

Schapelle... No drugs in Bali.

No drugs in Bali.

Love you.

He says the suspect answered,

"That's marijuana".

How do you know?

She answered, "I know

because I can smell it."

The female walk with the male

answered, "The bag is mine."

Oh, f***.

Then the suspect

admits the good is hers.

When the team was asked,

"Where did the marijuana

come from",

she did not want to admit

where the marijuana did come from.

The drug problem in Bali

is a serious offence.

Please stand.

Schapelle Corby.

We have decided that the

defendant,

Schapelle Corby,

has proven to be guilty.

20 years?

20 years!

How dare you?

You took the word of a liar!

You judges will never sleep.

Liar! Liar! Schapelle, you will

come home. I'll bring you home.

It's OK, mum. It's OK.

Get out of her way.

Get away!

It's OK. It's OK.

Love you.

It's OK.

Yep, understood. I understand.

Yeah, completely.

OK. Thank you.

Well, the good news is

the prosecutors are disappointed.

So they should be.

You know what an achievement it

was getting the death sentence

taken off the table for starters?

We could get 15 years on appeal

then ten.

You know what's

going to happen, Lily?

I gave her the defence,

so I'm going to get the blame

because they're going to

want to go at someone.

We will appeal, Robin.

Not me.

I'm resigning.

That's it.

Might even take out

a full-page ad in the newspaper,

apologising to the baggage

handlers.

Sorry, guys, made it all up.

Felt like a good idea at the time.

Hey, are

you Mad Ron from Queensland?

Yep. Can I ask you a question?

Why would anyone bring grass

here to Bali?

Cause it's too humid in Bali

to grow high-quality dope.

For very high quality it has

to be grown some place dry.

Police!

Police! Open the door!

Police!

Holy sh*t.

Malcolm McCauley?

My God. The things you find.

Look at this.

Tell me about your

involvement with Schapelle Corby?

I don't know Schapelle Corby.

But these were clearly taken

before she was arrested in Bali.

Can I borrow your specs?

Ta.

Why are you having a picnic with

Schapelle Corby or whatever it is?

You knew her

before she went to jail.

This is taken in the prison,

Kerobokan

or whatever it was called.

There's a bit of garden

there but it ain't no picnic.

I was up there on

holiday and I just

visited the girl to wish her luck.

And also to get her

autograph for my granddaughter.

Lots of other tourists

were doing the same.

All your dad's friends are

close, Schapelle, real close.

You'll be out of here real soon.

My word.

I just want to let you know that

nothing's ever going to

come from my end, ever.

Promise.

You keep strong, we keep strong.

Do the right thing.

Look out for each other.

Right?

Before this visit I didn't

know her from a bar of soap.

We know that you were delivering

to Queensland all last year.

Schapelle Corby was

arrested in October last year.

Complete coincidence.

Seems strange but there you are.

Do you know anything about

the exportation of drugs to Bali?

There's nothing.

No, I don't.

Wouldn't have a clue.

Yep.

I'm under the hammer

and you're late.

It's close. Half an hour.

It's on its way.

I had a visitor in here yesterday,

some guy who had spent 11 years

in here once.

I frisked him actually, in case

he had a camera or something.

Kept going on about how

he knew how to get me out.

And how was that?

He kept telling me to plead

guilty.

Whether I am or not he kept

saying,

plead guilty.

What did you say?

The drugs weren't mine.

It wasn't mine.
