You're pretty.

Beautiful.

So I'm going to pick you up. I have to call the camp.

There's a phone right over there. Thank you.

Have a nice summer.

See you on the way back.

Marianne?

Marianne?

Are you Marianne Love?

Yes, who are you?

If I told you Rip Van Winkle, would you believe it?

You're in the wrong mountains.

That's what I get for sleeping through American lit.

My name's Bo.

Miss Kenrith asked me to pick you up.

Oh, she said I was to call her when I arrived.

Oh, you were, but then she found out I was coming into town to pick up some

supplies.

I'm a counselor at Camp Winaneca.

That's the boys' camp right next to yours.

Go ahead and call her if you want.

You need some change?

If Miss Kenworth sent you, I'm sure it's all right.

It is.

I'll take her back.

The car's right over here.

Don't you get any ideas? I saw her first.

Marianne, I'd like you to meet a fellow counselor, Drake.

Hi, Drake.

Marianne. We better hustle on back before our braves get back on the

again.

Drake here is also known as Chief Keeper of the Peace.

And you?

I'm Chief Flying Eagle.

Looking for a place to land.

I had no idea the camp was this far from the village.

Well, it's not much further.

Oh, no, the lake's up that way. The camp's right next to the lake.

Relax, Maria.

Miss Kenworth didn't send you, did she?

Please, now come on, you guys. Take me back to the village.

I said take me back to the village.

Really?

Sit quiet.

Do what we tell you.

You won't get hurt.

Mr. Lowe?

Yes?

We have your daughter.

What?

What is this?

If you ever want to see her again, alive, you'll give us $250 ,000.

Now, if this is some kind of a joke... It's no joke, Mr. Lowe.

Here, now put her on.

Yes, but I'm afraid.

You make that in small bills.

And if you call the police, Mr. Lowe, you'll never see her again.

We'll be in touch.

Tonight's episode, Summer Terror.

On the morning of June 23rd, while on her way to an Adirondack summer camp,

Marianne Lowe, daughter of a wealthy Washington, D .C. businessman, was

kidnapped and held for ransom.

Her father, Philip Lowe, defying the kidnappers' instructions not to call the

police, contacted his good friend, Arthur Ward, of the FBI.

Hello, Philip.

Arthur. You know Lewis?

Yes. Any further word from the kidnappers?

Arthur, nothing's going to happen to Marianne if we do everything he tells

is it?

We can't be certain, Helen, one way or the other.

Helen didn't want me to call you, Arthur.

I know how you feel.

But believe me, I couldn't feel worse if it had happened to my own daughter.

Hello?

What can I do?

Marianne has a habit of writing things down so she doesn't forget them.

Sheer delight. That's a beauty parlor.

I'll need the full names of all these, as well as any other people she's in the

habit of seeing.

You think that might be important?

I don't know, but it's interesting that they waited to pick her up in the

Adirondacks instead of here in Washington.

Suggests they knew her schedule.

Yeah, you tie her there.

You come outside and help me unload, huh?

Can I keep your blindfold on?

No.

I'm just playing a trick.

Is that too tight?

Is that

better?

You

see?

It's not a bad place, huh?

No, don't be scared.

If everything goes all right, you're not going to be hurt.

Moe!

Moe, look, I got to tell you, man, you were great. You had me believing you

some sort of a camp counselor, really.

Like you said, it was easy.

I never figured it'd be such a slap.

You see her face when you pull that gun on her, huh? Hey, man, she is kind of

pretty, huh? Yeah, what difference does that make when she's pretty or ugly,

huh? What counts is we're halfway home now, baby.

Hey, Drake.

When do we score?

We won't have to get rid of her, will we?

Everything's in motion, Paul. We can't get off now. We've just got to ride this

thing out to the end. Yes.

Is this the latest photograph you have of Marriott?

Yes.

they call.

We expect them to.

Arthur, has there been any progress at all here?

Agents are interviewing the bus driver and camp personnel.

Philip, when they do call, I want you to keep them on that phone as long as you

can.

What if Mary Ann is already dead?

Insist on talking to her, Mrs. Lowe.

No, I wish to God I'd never let her go to that camp.

No.

No, I don't either.

I guess I wouldn't.

Couldn't have done very much about it anyway.

Made him a little selfish. I just hated to let her go.

Marianne and her mother had been talking about taking a trip to Europe when this

camp thing came up.

She wanted to work with the children.

Marianne's always managed.

She's really quite self -sufficient.

What does a thing like this do to a girl, Arthur?

What kind of scar does it leave?

Put some cumin on that.

Okay, so I'll go get some wood.

I don't know.

Come on.

Come to Papa.

Come on. Papa's going to take good care of you. Come on.

You bad girl.

Oh.

Come on now. Yes.

Sweet little thing.

Yes, yes.

You know, Bo's a rat.

You are a pretty little thing.

That's a shame.

Lowdy, it's a shame.

Come on.

Daddy Drake and Uncle Bo will take it. Yeah, you.

Well, she's resting.

The doctor said she should stay in bed for a while.

I can't believe this is happening to us.

I feel the whole thing is a story somebody told me.

Hello?

Philip Lowe?

Do you have the money?

Yes.

All right.

There's a deserted gas station on the corner of 71st and Williamsburg.

I, uh... I don't think I know where that is.

I'm sure you can find it, Mr. Lowe.

I want you to bring the money there tonight at 10 o 'clock.

Someone will be waiting for you.

I want to talk to my daughter.

Is she all right?

Yes, she's fine now, but she won't be unless you do as you're told.

I want to talk to Marianne.

Tonight, Mr. Lowe, at 10 o 'clock, and be alone.

Please.

Not enough time for a curse.

Well, what's next?

With your permission, we'd like to set up a surveillance at the Rantham site.

They said they'd kill Marianne if the police were called in on it.

Of course, the final decision is up to you and Helen.

But our only concern now is the safe return of Marianne.

Arthur, I want the FBI to help.

But what if the person who picks up that ransom sees you, warns the others?

happen, Mr. Lowe, but we'll take every precaution to see that it doesn't.

I understand your anxiety, but we have had considerable experience in this

field.

Where's your friend he's on an errand

What

are you looking at me like that for sorry

didn't mean

You're scared, aren't you?

Look, I told you there is nothing to be scared about.

Why are you trying to be so nice to me?

Well, what do you expect me to be, some kind of a creep?

No.

I mean, it's just like you act like this is some kind of a normal, everyday

occurrence.

Don't you understand what you're doing?

Sure I do.

Drake and I figured this out too at the end.

Including what'll happen to you when you're caught.

We're not gonna get caught.

Do you really believe that?

Sure I do.

People get caught because they do it again and again.

For me, it's just this once.

And like Drake said, it's gonna be clean.

How can you be so sure?

I don't want to talk about it anymore.

That camp you were going to, what's it like?

Why would you care?

Okay, so don't tell me.

It's run by a welfare agency.

Kids are from the ghetto.

Oh, that's real white of you.

It wasn't like that.

I knew a boy who was doing it once.

Working with the kids, I mean.

He got me interested.

I guess I admired him more than anyone I'd ever met.

Well, anyhow, I got involved with the project and started liking it.

Never really been good at anything else.

That guy that you admire so much, are you going with him?

He got married this spring.

That's cute.

The boy won it for me at the school fair.

He said I'd have good luck if I kept it with me all the time. I keep trying to

throw it away, but I can't.

I guess I'll go to my grave with it.

Oh, that's pretty.

Very pretty.

I'll do that.

I guess I'll recover.

I don't know.

Always. Hello.

Can I help you?

Are you the owner here? Yes.

My name's Colby.

I'm with the FBI.

FBI? Oh, how divine.

May I talk to you for a minute?

Um, yes.

Come on.

In here.

Yes. Is Marianne Lowe a customer here?

Oh, yes, barring the Black Plague or Revolution.

Let's see. Marianne comes in here every Tuesday.

But she should have been here yesterday.

Marianne Lowe. Two o 'clock. May I?

Tuesday.

Well, her name isn't down here for next Tuesday.

Why is that?

I don't really know.

Oh, yes, I do. I think I remember her telling the girl who does her hair that

she was going to go away.

To the Adirondacks.

Which girl is that?

Kathy Wheaton.

Is she here now?

No. No, she wanted the day off.

She said she had some personal things to attend to.

Tell me, Kathy isn't in any trouble, is she?

Well, not that I know of.

Why?

Well, I don't like telling stories out of go, you see. It's not my thing.

It's just that some of the girls have been talking and that she's been seeing

lot of this guy who just got out of prison.

Do you know his name?

Yes, it's Drake.

Thank you.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Look, Kathy, I just don't understand what it is you have in common with this

guy.

I mean, he's a hood.

Well, isn't he?

Did he or did he not spend time in prison?

Does that make you feel so superior?

Just tell me what it is you see in him, will you? No.

I don't have to justify my feelings.

Oh, I don't know.

He just makes me feel good, that's all. And I don't.

I know that I'm not the most exciting guy in the world. I mean, girls don't

exactly throw themselves at my feet.

But... Kathy, I love you.

I'm sorry, Jerry.

If I had any sense, I'd throw myself at your feet.

I've been hurt enough.

That's the story of my life.

All I know is that if I have to give one more shampoo, I think I'll go crazy.

You don't know what it's like to stand on your feet for ten hours a day and

listen to those spoiled cows exchanging diets.

And talking about the wonder of natural childbirth.

I feel so trapped and helpless sometimes that I think I'm just going to scream

my lungs out.

Somebody trying to sell me something. I got rid of him.

Well?

I just talked to Lo and told him where to deliver it.

Honey, let's not wait. Let's grab the money and run.

Baby, look, don't second -guess me.

Kathy, we got to make sure.

It's just that I miss you so.

Hey, she's very pretty, isn't she?

Who?

Marianne.

Hey, hey.

Hey, don't start pulling that stuff on me, huh?

Look, Kathy, will you just relax?

And everything's going to be just fine. You'll see.

Do you love me?

You know I do.

Kathy, I've got to cut out now.

I'll be in touch with you here.

I'll call.

He wouldn't have to shoot that lousy gun now.

Brought me to prison.

Seems to have quite a talent.

He's so talented he spent six years in prison.

I want you.

No.

But I know who you are. I can identify you.

It doesn't make any difference.

We'll be long gone.

I wish I could believe you.

How well do you know him?

Shit.

You didn't go back a long ways again.

We, uh, were in the train working.

Have you ever been by a pet store and seen a window full of newborn pups?

Well, let me tell you.

I was the runt of the litter.

And no matter how hard I tried, no matter how many times I combed my hair,

washed my face, nobody ever adopted me.

And they line us up in a big row.

Great dog to pick.

I bet he'd be back before the week was up.

It was a real hard case.

But one time, he didn't come back.

I waited for weeks and weeks.

Until one night, he snuck back into the home after everyone was asleep.

He woke me.

And he said he'd come back for me.

And we've been together ever since.

Except for the time he was in jail.

You don't even know what I'm talking about.

You think only orphans or the poor ever get lonely?

Oh,

come on.

You've got money.

You've got friends.

I never had any brothers or sisters.

My mother couldn't have any more children after me.

I don't like to be alone.

The school I went to was private.

My father drove me in the morning.

A special bus dropped me off.

Well, the other kids got off in twos or threes laughing.

I got off alone.

Once I was home, there was always the maid.

She was too busy to play.

There was the cook.

She let me bake brownies.

You're good -looking oh There'll be a lot of guys after you You know if I had

money so that I was in your class I'd be calling you all the time

I

Think he stopped

He never did tell me what he was in prison for.

All right, Warden. Thanks very much.

Drake's 29.

He was released two months ago from Dannemora State Prison, where he served

years with a manslaughter charge.

It's Colby for you, sir.

Yes, Tom.

The dispatcher said you were trying to contact me.

Any progress?

Not a thing.

The Wheaton girl hasn't left the apartment.

No visitors.

All right, Tom, continue the surveillance. Let me know the minute

happens.

Blanchard. Yes, sir.

Bring your agents up to date on Drake.

Concentrate on the areas where Marion Lowe was last seen.

Yes, sir.

You still think there's a chance they'll show?

Tom, get me the Cathy Wheaton surveillance.

WF1 to Unit 3.

Unit 3.

Stand by for Inspector Erskine.

Has she left the apartment?

No, sir.

Lights went out about ten minutes ago.

Still no visitors?

No, sir.

It's been extremely quiet.

Continue surveillance. WF1 out.

Hello?

You shouldn't have called the police.

They were watching from the gas station.

No. You're playing with your daughter's life, Mr. Lewis.

You listen to me. No, no. No, you listen to me.

Mr. Lowe, we know every move you're making.

Now, you better listen to me because you won't have another chance.

Now, did you get the money?

Yes. All right, you drop it off at the Parkwood Shopping Center at the

Salvation Army bin outside of it.

All right, it's 3 o 'clock now.

You have it there by this morning at sunup.

Sound like a satellite to you?

Satellite?

Yes, it sometimes happens that an outsider hears about a kidnapping and

come in on their own.

You think that's what's happening now?

I don't think so.

I think the kidnappers are using different people to try to confuse us.

Could they have seen you at the gas station?

No one even came near the ransom site the entire night.

Philip, it's quite common for kidnappers to have two or three dry runs before

the actual pickup.

Your man will pay the money money.

No!

You don't know Drake the way I do.

Better get right down to it.

He ain't never done a thing like that.

But he's already killed someone.

You told me that.

Okay.

Let me get you out of here.

They could think of heading back to town. Try to make it up over the hill.

Is everything alright?

WF -1 to WF -20.

Go ahead, WF -1.

Subject just came out of the parking lot proceeding north on Grove.

Yes, sir. Subject's car just came into view.

Stay well back.

If she stops at her apartment, drive on by as prearranged.

Yes, sir. 20 out.

What is it?

It's 7 .30.

Why?

Aren't you supposed to call Kathy?

Yeah.

Why don't you make a call for me, huh?

A change of scenery might improve your disposition.

You know her number, don't you?

Oh, yeah.

What's the matter, boo?

What's she been telling you?

She won't give the police our description?

Oh, Bowen, you're just dumb enough to believe it.

Go on.

Hey.

Hey.

Bring her back something to drink, will you?

Hello. Did you get it?

Who is this?

It's Bo.

Where's Drake?

He's at the cabin.

Why didn't he call?

Look, I don't know. Listen, did you get the money?

What's Drake doing at the cabin?

WF -20 to WF -1 in all units on the special.

WF -1, go ahead.

Subject is leaving residence.

Has luggage.

Wait a minute.

Where are you going?

It's that guy, isn't it? Just leave me alone, will you?

Look, Jerry, we went out together a couple of times. You don't own me.

I don't know what you're mixed up in, but it's all wrong. Oh, for crying out

loud, Jerry. Oh, no!

Let's move back, please.

Move back.

Move back, please.

I think we better have a little talk, miss.

No, I have to go.

You can go a little later.

What'd you do that for?

Charging in like a bull moose.

Well, do we get it?

Yeah, man, we got it. We got it!

What do you say we pack up and get out of this dump, huh? Yeah, come on.

You know, Miss Wheaton, you have the right to remain silent and to have an

attorney.

I know all that.

I have nothing to hide.

The money was marked.

Miss Wheaton.

Do you have any idea what kind of trouble you're in?

Can I have a cigarette, please?

Let me explain something to you.

The fact that you might not have been involved in the actual kidnapping of

Marion Lowe does not clear you of responsibility.

You could make it a lot easier on yourself by cooperating with us now.

I don't know anything about any kidnapping.

And I don't know any Mary Ann Lowe.

You've been doing her hair at the Sheer Delight Beauty Salon for the last year.

Where's Drake now?

I don't know.

He's in a cabin somewhere that he rented.

On the way to Blue Lake.

Who'd he rent it from?

A doctor.

What's the doctor's name?

Dr.

Withers, I think.

Mr. Colby there.

Yes, Lou?

Tom, call the resident agent covering Blue Lake.

Tell him I'll be flying up and to have a helicopter standing by.

We'll radio instructions en route.

Okay, the cabin? Yes, Inspector. There's a Dr. Trivert summer cabin five miles

from here, one road in.

Well, there's one more thing to do. Oh, man, think it through.

Look, I already have.

All right.

I'll do it.

It's you?

Yeah, sure.

Why not?

Yeah, why not?

No, she's not.

For any moment.

No, I'm sorry. I don't have a statement.

I'm just very grateful to the FBI.

You have no idea that John...

How are you? Are you all right? Inspector.

Thank you.

Alex Drake, Bo Thomas Manley, and Kathy Wheaton were tried and convicted in

federal court of extortion.

They were sentenced to terms in the federal penitentiary.
