SIOBHAMMm hm.

00.06.45.00

00.06.45.05

SIOBHAM(V/O) I’m going to detain him for the purpose of an external search. He can maintain his rights but if the Justice of the Peace MUSIC OUT: 00:06:57:00orders it and he still refuses force will be used. Reasonable force will be used to remove his clothing.

PETERIt’s a require, it’s a legal requirement that you have a passport in order to beMUSIC OUT: 00.11.30.00able to come through because you have to be able to present MUSIC IN: 00:11:32:00satisfactory evidence of identity. He’s unable to do that at the moment so we have to be a little bit constructive about what we’re going to do with this guy, or he’s going to have to go all the way back to the States today. (OS) So I’ve got to ring the Consulate (SYNC) see if they can confirm who he is.

00.11.27.20

VOICEOVERPassenger Glade also has a new concern about his financial security.

00.12.26.15

LEWIS(OS) Just have to make sure these tapes go back as (SYNC) close as possible to original so it doesn’t look like it’s been tampered with too badly.

00.12.31.10

VOICEOVERIf the package is carrying something illegal the Federal Police may decide to set up a controlled delivery to catch the smugglers red-handed. But to do that the package must appear untouched.

00.12.37.00

JAYNE(OS) Was it just going to a personal residence or a (SYNC) business address?

00.12.48.18
