Justice for Natalee Holloway Page #3

---

- Excuse me.

- What the hell?

- We have a window.

- What are you talking about?

Paulus is dead.

He was the one protecting Joran.

He was the one telling him

what to do.

Now that he's gone,

I think we can get to Joran.

He's figured out

that lying works for him.

So, what, that's it?

- You're done?

- No, it's not a crime to lie to the media.

He killed my daughter.

The whole world knows it.

The whole world is looking at you...

...wondering why this monster

is getting away with murder.

When do you start doing your jobs?

If you let him walk away, it's like

saying Natalee's life never mattered.

Her life mattered, Agent Delaney.

It mattered.

If you won't get him, I will.

Why don't you take your brother

for a walk.

- Go ahead. On the beach.

- Yeah, let's go.

This...

...is not my fault.

- No.

I did not ask for any of it.

Joran, listen to me.

He loved you.

Everything he did,

he did to help you.

You are the man of the house now.

Maybe it's time

to start the next part of your life.

You need help?

Okay. You need glue?

- Cheryl, can you help Tallea?

- Yeah, sure.

What is it?

What's happened?

I got an e-mail.

- A few of them.

- From?

- Joran.

- What?

What...?

What are you talking about?

He e-mailed you?

Well, what does he want?

Well, he said

he wants to do the right thing.

He'll take you to Natalee.

He's gonna want money.

- How did you respond?

- Told him I didn't trust him.

That I'd have to talk to you.

I think we should pay him.

- What?

- I am so sick of all of this.

It is time to put up or shut up.

Tell him I'll pay him

to tell me where Natalee is.

Are you seriously thinking

of giving this guy money?

Beth, that's a bad idea.

- I told you I was gonna get him myself.

- What if we recorded him?

Get him on tape asking for money.

Okay, Alabama is one of three states

in the country...

...where wiretapping

is legal and admissible.

If you get him on tape

asking for a specific dollar amount...

...and he actually takes the money...

- That would be extortion.

You could prosecute.

Right here in Alabama.

And we could put him away

for a long, long time.

Hello?

Is this Natalee's mom?

It's Joran.

Hello, Joran.

I hope you understand.

You know, I want to do the right thing.

You have no idea how much

I want this monkey off of my back.

It's very hard for me

to live with this.

How much do you want?

Two hundred

and fifty thousand dollars.

I'll have to see

if I can get that much.

I can take you to Natalee...

... but nobody can know

that this came from me.

Otherwise...

...I lose the last group of people

in my life...

...that are important.

I'll have John e-mail you.

Okay?

Okay.

Bye.

Beth, we have to be smart.

We asked for the FBI's help.

They're giving it.

We need to do it their way.

Okay, he has a tendency to jump

when he feels pressure.

We don't want him

blowing the whole thing.

You set up the deal, we send John

to Aruba with the money...

...and that boy will spend his adult life

behind bars.

- I don't trust the people in Aruba.

- We're ready to go.

Ready for this?

- Hello.

- I'll give you the money.

Great.

This situation, it hurts everybody.

It's consumed five years

of my life too.

- How do I know you're not gonna lie?

- I know it's tough to trust me...

... after what happened

with the others...

...but I wouldn't lie to you.

That would be beyond horrible.

I'm ready for a new phase

of my life...

...to try and better myself

as a human being.

I'll give you 25,000 up front.

When we find Natalee,

you'll get the rest.

How do I know that you're not lying?

I'll have my lawyer draw a contract

that guarantees it.

He'll bring it

when he brings the money.

You tell him what happened

to my daughter, where I can find her...

...you'll get the rest.

- I want it put...

...in the contract that you pay...

... a million-dollar penalty

if anyone finds out...

... the information came from me.

- Okay, that's fine.

- Okay.

It's not that I think I'd go to jail...

...in maybe a few years...

...but probably not.

What happened is not...

It's not as bad as you think.

I'll have John e-mail you

to set the time and place.

Okay.

Take care then.

"Take care."

Can you believe this kid?

I don't know

if I should believe him or not.

Maybe Paulus was the one

stopping him from telling the truth.

Either way, it's a win, okay?

If he tells the truth,

you get Natalee home.

And if he lies,

we get him on extortion...

...we bring him to U.S. Soil

to stand trial.

Nothing is ever that simple

with Joran.

I'm sorry to bug you and all

at school.

I just really need to make sure

you're okay with it.

To make these extortion charges stick,

I have to give him a chunk of money.

Twenty-five thousand dollars.

The only way to come up with that...

...is to use the savings.

Matt,

it will dip into your college fund.

- Lf you don't wanna do this, I can...

- No, you should.

I'd give everything that I have

to see that guy behind bars.

With you a thousand percent.

Wait, Jug.

- Lf I could tell you, I would.

- It's fine, I already know.

Joran told another story and you've

gotta run down and look into it.

Or maybe he contacted a reporter

and said he...

- That's not what's going on.

- You know, all this time...

...I feel guilty that I wasn't

supportive enough for you.

I'm just in your way, Beth.

You're obsessed with him.

He's obsessed with you too.

You keep circling the world.

Aruba, Holland, Thailand.

This what you want?

- Do you think this is what Natalee...?

- I don't want any of this, Jug.

I wanted to be going

to Natalee's graduation...

...planning her wedding.

I hate this. I do. I just...

I need to know

what happened to her.

And then what, Beth?

Then what happens?

I mean, you've defined yourself

by this tragedy.

And there's no you left.

Honey, I loved her too.

But she's gone.

When are you gonna live your life

again?

All right.

You're hot. Go and slide that back.

Tuck it in.

Make sure he sits across from you.

Ask him to count the money.

If he moves, ask him to count again.

- Right.

- Here you go.

This keychain has GPS in it,

so we can track you.

Van Der Sloot thinks

you have $25,000 cash on you...

...so he could have a friend

take you down, drag you out.

You'll be fine. And if you feel

things start to go south...

...you know the code word, it's "fire."

Then you hit the deck.

We take him out

right where he stands.

We've got agents

all over this hotel, all right?

No way he's getting the jump on us.

John, thank you for doing this.

Okay, Joran's in the lobby.

- Come on, let's get you in there.

- Okay.

Be careful.

He said they'd meet us down there.

He's walking in.

Okay, now. Okay, now. Guys, guys.

Joran. We finally meet.

Yeah. He's in.

You are Beth Holloway's lawyer?

John Kelly.

Please, come in.

- You wanna have a seat?

- No.

You have the cash?

Yeah, of course.

We found out right before we left...
