The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe fake Millers reach a U.S. border inspection lane. The loudspeaker tells them to prepare for a vehicle check. Casey panics: David said the guard would just wave them through. He still might — if they look like a real family first. A chatty RV couple pulls up, Kenny flashes a joint, and a customs officer asks about contraband. David freezes. They get sent to secondary inspection until someone else runs.
