THE FOLLOWING SERIES IS INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY

NAMES, DIALOGUE AND EVENTS HAVE BEEN FICTIONALIZED

Ida.

Ida, do you think Michelle manipulated you

and lied to make you carry cocaine for her?

Yes.

She is a liar!

ESCAPING BOLIVIA

What if you're convicted, Ida?

- How much have you saved for bail? - I'm doing my best.

The lawyers here and in Norway cost way more than I thought.

- I'm doing as many shifts as I can. - How much do you have?

Ida, that's enough!

I'm working round the clock for you!

I can't get any more loans, I can't magically produce more money!

You lied to me about going to Spain.

And you're blaming Michelle in court?

I don't even recognize you.

I'm pregnant.

- Have you thought about an abortion? - No, it's illegal here.

But how�?

How far along are you?

Three months maybe.

I'm sorry.

So, what's your strategy now? Blaming me so that you can go?

- They're not that stupid. - Please, not now.

Hey, look at me. I'm Max's mom! Your family, for fuck's sake!

Please go!

Look me in the eye, you fucking whore.

- Leave! - Hey!

What's going on? Put the knife down!

For your own safety.

Yeah, but you haven't heard the worst of it.

- She's pregnant. - Pregnant? Oh, my God.

- How? With a guard or something? - So far it's just a rumor.

Everyone's wondering who the father is. The prison only has female guards.

Well, what is she telling you?

I've been trying to reach her, but it's impossible.

- The verdict is announced today. - Already?

They believe the ringleaders have tricked loads of young women,

giving them a free luxury holiday in exchange for carrying bags home.

That's some heavy shit.

Keep talking to her, build that trust.

I want to be the only magazine

with a picture of you and that child in that interview, okay?

But�

Ida is just a child.

What if she's convicted?

- Will the child grow up in prison? - You can't do much about that.

Are you okay, though? You're in quite deep.

Yes, I'm fine. It's just�

Are we pushing this too far?

We are giving this girl a chance to tell her story.

Unlike most people.

- Okay? - Alright.

I have to go, but we'll talk later.

The moment has finally arrived.

The verdict on the two young women will be announced today.

This is so exciting!

The women hope to be acquitted,

but if they are convicted, they risk ten to twenty years in prison.

Finally the press is allowed to enter the court,

after weeks of closed doors.

- Hi, sweetheart. - Mom.

Did you get any sleep?

- Not really. - We need to fix you up.

Sorry.

I did this when you were little, and you didn't like it then either.

- I can do it myself. - Sorry. Yes.

Sweetie.

Whatever happens in there, I'm here for you.

Okay?

And you, whoever you are in there.

- The court is suspended for today. - Ida!

Sit down.

Ida. Ida, look at me!

- Ida, can you hear me? - A doctor, please!

A doctor, please!

Ida, are you okay?

Ida?

Ida!

The snitch got 13 years as well.

And I hear you're pregnant?

Fucking great job.

I trusted you blindly. And you knew that so fucking well!

I was 17.

A child!

You deserve every fucking single year in here.

You're dead to me.

Calm down!

DAY 800 IN PRISON

Wenche?

- Hi. - Hi.

Joakim Sten, from Alfa Magazine.

- We talked on the phone. - Right, hi.

I was just thinking�

I know this is a difficult time, so if you want to talk to someone�

anything really, you've got my number.

"Alfa Magazine. More bang for your buck."

Sorry, my partner made the cards.

So just scratch that sentence.

Thanks.

Can I help you with something?

I was going to ask you the same thing.

I've got to know Ida quite well lately.

She is pretty tough. I'm sure she'll get through this.

Yeah�

THREE MONTHS LATER

Time to work, Ida.

Can you give this to your mother?

And say thank you for covering my job again, okay?

I'm going to look for Mom.

Alright. How does it feel? Are you scared?

The baby's coming no matter what. I don't really have a choice.

Hi. Hi, Michelle's baby.

I just wanted to say I'm your aunt.

I'll be there for you when it's your turn.

I promise.

- Okay, I hear you. - It's a promise.

Luc�a?

No. It's M�nica.

It's not a good time.

It's my grandchild, Ida.

I brought you some coca tea. It's good for you and the baby.

You can't sit in here all day and night, Ida.

It's not good for my grandchild.

You don't have to worry about me.

Of course I worry.

Does Antonio know?

Yes. He knows. He went back to Argentina a few days ago.

But he is very excited about being all together as a family.

We're not going to be a family.

Yes, you are!

Antonio would never leave his child. That is not how I raised him.

My grandchild should grow up in Argentina.

Not in a prison.

It will be a breech birth. Sorry, I had no one else to call.

- Mom has enough on her mind. - I'm glad you called.

I must go, I can't do it. I'll need a C-section.

You have to trust the doctor.

He has no reason to deceive you.

I can't trust anyone in here.

Don't you get it?

I understand.

- I understand that you're scared. - Can you be there with me?

Mom can't afford to come.

And I have no one else.

You needed more pictures for the interview, right?

Back to Bolivia?

What about those Congo dudes? People can't get enough of them.

Mercenaries, blood, weapons, death sentences�

We have to help her. She's 19! She's alone!

Have you lost it? Help her with what, birth?

Two beers down and suddenly you're a midwife?

You're a genius. Of course, let's get a midwife!

It's what she needs!

Then you get the pictures you've been wanting. It's brilliant.

As CEO of the company,

I can't allow such a breach of our ethical code.

Since when do you care about our ethical code?

As of right now!

As a co-worker and a friend,

I'm asking you not to look the other way.

Listen� You get the pictures you want and help her as well.

You're lucky I'm drunk. Otherwise, I would never agree to any of this.

You always make the best decisions drunk.

- And the worst. - Cheers!

I'll come to Bolivia. If you still want me there.

Yes.

I would love it.

I've found a midwife, or a "midhusband."

He'll help you through the birth so you feel safer.

Is that something you want?

Okay.

Take this one.

Luc�a.

- What is it? - It's my birthday today.

Happy birthday! How old are you now?

Six. So I have to leave tomorrow.

- Where are you going? - To my uncle's house.

Do you know him?

It's going to be okay.

Will I ever see you again?

Of course. I promise.

Ida!

I'll miss you.

- Thank you, my love. - Bye.

- Goodbye. - See you soon.

- Wow, what a place! - I know. It's pretty unique.

Hello, good morning.

Just let me know if you want me to stop, okay?

- They say it's a boy. - Congratulations!

It feels and sounds good. But he hasn't engaged yet.

I don't want a caesarean.

I haven't come from Norway for this not to go well.

- Can you feel him move? - I feel kicks and stuff.

I can actually feel something now. Do you want to feel it?

- Can you put the camera away? Please. - Yeah.

How are you feeling generally? Your mood?

Are you sleeping well?

I'm tired all the time.

- Could you give us a minute alone? - Of course.

Are you having any dark thoughts?

What do you mean?

I don't want to be a mother.

How did it go?

Well� you're right.

The girl's depressed.

- But you can't really blame her. - No.

- How bad is it? - It's pretty serious.

She needs her mother, you need to get her here.

No one wants to read about the pregnant girl

who took her own life in a Bolivian prison.

Right.

How much did it cost to see me out of visiting time?

It cost more to get you out of your cell.

I looked at today's pictures. They're beautiful.

Do you think Norway's gonna help me come home

when they read the interview and see the photos?

I hope so.

Think about this.

Most of the people in here

are in prison for smuggling, transporting

or selling cocaine.

It's insane.

And Norwegians�

They don't even know how their drugs end up in their coffee.

Or they don't give a shit.

Good thing you're not one of them.

But listen�

How are you doing?

I fall asleep every night hoping I won't wake up again.

You can't say that.

Listen, I�

I can't imagine what you're going through right now.

But my mom told me she hated being pregnant with me.

She said she felt like an alien was growing inside her.

But then I popped out and she forgot all about it.

Hang on a bit longer, okay?

For me, okay?

- I need to get back to Norway. - Have you thought how to do so?

No, not really.

The bail is higher now that I'm convicted.

And it's almost impossible to get a hearing.

But first, I have to have this baby.

First, you have to have this baby.

Ida, look at me. It's going to be fine.

This is a planned caesarean section, okay?

I understand you're scared, but the doctor is very experienced.

No, I don't want to do this. I don't want to.

Can you please remove the handcuffs?

Seriously, do you think she will escape now?

Please, remove them!

Your mom is on her way. She'll be right there with you.

It'll be fine.

It's going to be fine. I'm here.

What are they doing, Mom?

They took out your baby.

The handsome little boy in your belly.

Mom, did they take my baby? Where is he?

He's right here. A little boy. So beautiful. Congratulations!

Mom� is this my baby?

Can you hold him?

Yes, of course.

Do you want to hold him?

Here.

There you go.

What will you call him?

I don't know.

I just need a minute.

- Hi. - Hi.

Congratulations, Ida.

How are you feeling?

Joakim, can you hold him for a bit?

- Of course. - Yes.

How do you feel with him?

It'll be fine.

New mothers always struggle the first few days.

Especially after a caesarean.

Hi.

Mom, did Hugo say anything about getting a hearing?

Can I get out now that I have a baby?

I'm so sorry.

The police said no.

Joakim? Can you get me home?

You can follow me with your camera and write about it.

If you get me home, I'll tell you everything.

Ida� that's not something Joakim can do.

He's just a journalist.

Ida, just focus on resting now.

We are very proud of you. Okay?

Yeah�

I just thought, if anyone could do it, it would be you.

Let's just take one day at a time, right?

I�

- Could we just have a minute alone? - Of course.

I just want to go home, Mom.

I know�

I can't earn any money down here.

For the bail, for the baby,

the diapers, the food�

I have to get home soon.

Yeah.

It's okay. You're doing the best you can.

Listen. I'll never give up.

I won't give up until you're home.

It looks good.

I think you both are ready to leave the hospital now.

Wait here, I will come back.

I've had so much work to do these days.

This trip with my family will be incredible. I miss them so much!

We'll make a trip!

Yeah, I get it. I miss my children as well.

I've been working a lot thse days and am not even being paid overtime.

We don't have much money anymore.

Hey, stop!

Come here.

Ida Hansen, pack your things.

As punishment for trying to escape, you will be locked in solitary.

- But I have a baby! - Oh, now you remember!

Okay. This time I'm going to let you stay.

But if I hear you complain one more time,

I'm taking you off to solitary, which is where you should be now.

Look at me, I'm doing you a favor.

Look at me! Do you fucking understand me?

A guard will knock on the door to replace your bucket.

Don't be a nuisance and take care of your baby.

- Hi. - Name?

Ida Berge Hansen.

She can't take visitors today.

But I'm leaving tomorrow. What�?

She can't take visitors.

I need to see my daughter.

She's just had a baby. She's all alone. Please?

- Not today, you have to leave. - Please, it's important.

- Please. - Not today.

Mar�a Cortez. Please.

Go ahead.

Please, shut it up!

Can you shut up?

Please, shut your son up!

Can you shut up?

Shut that baby up!

I want to sleep!

Make that baby stop, I want to sleep!

Shut the baby up!

I want to sleep!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

To sexy journalism.

Aftenposten, New York Times.

"The Norwegian teenager in the Bolivian prison

opens up to the new Norwegian magazine

Alfa."

Alfa, Alfa, Alfa!

This is what you dreamed about.

- I can't get hold of Ida. - Let's take five, guys.

And close the door, please.

- Hi. What do you mean? - I can't reach my daughter.

Her lawyer can't get hold of her.

She tried to escape from the hospital without the baby.

- We need to get her out of there. - What is she saying? "We"?

- Hold on. - Ida was right, Joakim.

You have to help her.

Please! You need to help her.

Wenche. Hi. Marcus here, CEO.

Ida needs to get home and you want us to write about it?

Right?

That's completely absurd.

Contributing to human trafficking and risking how many years in jail?

You flew down a midwife?

That was totally different, Wenche.

This is illegal, not to mention dangerous.

Yes, I know, it's dangerous. But if we do nothing�

I'm just scared she'll kill herself if�

Please, sit down.

What about the Foreign Office? What are they saying?

The Foreign Office?

They're too busy� sitting by the pool drinking pina colada!

They can't do jack shit!

At least just think about it.

Do you think she would be able to do it?

Escape with a baby?

She doesn't have any choice.

Are you being serious? Smuggling a girl convicted of cocaine trafficking

through the Amazon, with a baby, to Norway for a profile piece?

Well, not just us.

We need to find someone who knows how to escape, if you get my drift.

I'll arrange the money, sweet-talk investors. And Joakim�

I'm in charge of the interview.

So we're wondering what the legal risk is

and how we avoid prison.

The penalty is three to four years in prison.

- That sucks. - That's serious punishment.

Guys, this is a terrible idea.

As your lawyer, I strongly recommend you keep well away.

- Okay, thank you. We'll speak soon! - Speak soon.

This is definitely the dumbest thing we'll ever do.

But we're going to do it.

- Right? - Of course!

TWO WEEKS LATER

Ida!

Ida!

You have a phone call.

Open the door.

Tell them I'm not here.

Ida! You have a phone call.

- Go away! - It's important.

Ida! Ida, please answer the phone.

You have no idea how much I had to negotiate to get the phone to you.

Ida?

- Joakim? - Hi! At last.

Listen� We're getting you out.

What do you mean?

- "Out" out? - Yes! "Out" out.

Some millionaire Marcus knows has donated the money for bail.

And a lot of it.

You've been approved for bail and a hearing.

Then we'll get you home.

- Home to Norway? - Yes.

The hearing is next week. I'll see you soon.

Hi.

Hi.

You look like shit.

But who is this cutie?

What's your name?

Hi�

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Yes. Lucas.

Hi, do you like that name?

Yes.

We're going home now, Lucas. Yes.

Remember to say "Your Honor," right?

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Ms. Solveig Andersen, she is going to live with you, right?

Yes. She will live with me until she finds her own place.

Ida Berge Hansen.

You understand that you cannot leave the city, nor the country,

while you are under house arrest.

Yes, I understand.

I will check in twice a week

and I'm ready to take on any kind of work.

If these rules are not followed,

you will return to Santa Emilia Women's Prison

without any possibility of bail or house arrest

for the remainder of your sentence.

- Understood? - Yes, Your Honor.

The bail has been accepted.

The court hereby announces you are free to go under house arrest.

You are dismissed.

- Is it true? He said yes? - He said yes.

- He said yes. - He said yes!

Thank you!

I've been looking for you.

What do you want?

- I have something to tell you. - I already know.

Sorry.

I'm sorry, I just can't stay here anymore.

You pretend to be a friend. You pretend to be family.

You're a phony.

Do everyone a favor. Pack your things and leave!

Bye, then.

Hey! Have a good one.

Thank you.

- We'll miss you. - Me too.

Luc�a wrote to you. In case you want to respond.

I will.

Take care.

Ida! For my grandson.

- Thank you. - Take this, it's Antonio's number.

- He is waiting for your call. - Ida. It's time to go.

Yes. Can you?

He has a right to see his son.

DAY 1,048 IN PRISON

SANTA EMILIA WOMEN'S PRISON

- You're free. - I'm free!

Oh, my God.

- When do we leave? - It could be at any time.

Until then, act like nothing is happening.

- Live a normal life with Solveig, okay? - Okay.

When it rings, we're on.
