To "get someone in trouble" generally means to cause problems for them which will have future consequences or punishments. In the dialogue from the video here, "only our lies that get us into trouble" means that their lies create problems for them which may have extreme consequences later on. Ex: You will get me in trouble with my parents if we drive their car without asking. Ex: I did not prepare for the test today so I am in trouble.
