One question I had:

Since the prosecution was eager to trot out the hotel employee who was lied to about "Room 414," why didn't Yankee Hank or Yon question him regarding the young Aussie who then came up and told him it was Room 333?

I don't think that the girls ever mentioned the hotel incident to Hank until it came up in court; frankly, on surface it was not really relevant to their case.

However, the fact that the prosecution went as far as to track that hotel employee down and bring him to court to testify against the girls is really disturbing. The girls were first supposed to land on prosecution's radar when they got busted at the airport with dope in their backpack. How do they know what girls did prior to that, and in particular, about that hotel employee? Who fed them that information? Is it "Nick Parks"? Or the police inspector? Or someone else in that drug smuggling ring who has a vested interest in insuring that the girls' conviction is not overturned and is feeding the prosecution more evidence to make their case.

My personal opinion is that "Nick Parks" was using that hotel to "shop" for potential victims for his scheme. Think about it, where else can you find so many gullible and unsuspecting tourists? At worst, that hotel employee may have been working with "Nick"; but in case of our girls, "Nick" could have simply paid him a few bucks to intimidate them for a while, that way it didn't take him much time and effort to befriend them since he came across as their "savior".

Now, if Hank actually cared about the girls' plight when he first got involved with their case, he may have actually had a shot of catching "Nick". Had he believed the girls that "Nick" was real and asked them about where and how they first met him, he could have hung out by that hotel pool and eventually may have spotted him seducing his next potential victims. Sadly, Hank gradually started believing the girls thanks to his wife's influence; then, when he finally put it all together and got to the bottom of the plot, it was too late as by then the police inspector (now Royal Minister of Justice) may have already dealt with "Nick".
