The ocean's very, very deep, Jenny.

That chain and anchor just about weigh anything down.

We said we wouldn't hurt her. You said?

Look, it's crazy to let her run around as though nothing's happened.

But as long as she doesn't know.

Alex, you gave me your word.

The X -4.

Do you see the subject near the drop site?

He's about ten feet from the package.

He has the package and is heading back, Inspector.

All units, stand by to move out as soon as he reaches his car.

Then how will anyone find me?

As soon as I get the money, I'll call you folks and tell them where you are.

No, you won't.

Now, what do you mean by that?

You're going to kill me.

I know it.

You're afraid that if I'm found, I'll tell the police who you are.

Isn't that the truth?

Yeah.

That's the truth.

Tonight's episode, Holiday with Terror.

Hi, Diana.

Come on in.

Mr. Bell.

Something out of house fantastic.

My mother redecorates her with these ones.

Lisa, I'm ready.

I thought your folks weren't going to be home tonight.

Well, they'll be leaving soon.

My father's plane came in late.

Did Alex drive you over?

Yeah, he's outside.

Oh, why didn't you ask him in?

Oh, he's in one of his Sirocco moods tonight.

You know, like the desert wind, restless and moody. I think he wants to be

alone. Karen, who was at the door?

Oh, Mother, this is Diane Farmer. Remember I told you about her? It's nice

meet you, Diane.

You have a beautiful home, Mrs. Collins.

Thank you.

Where do you live, Diane?

Over on Mariposa. We just moved in a couple months ago.

Okay, I'm ready. Let's go.

Vern, I want you to meet Karen's friend, Diane.

Hello, Diane. Nice to meet you.

Well, what have you two got planned for this evening? I thought you were in a

hurry to leave. And so I am. At $500 a plate, I want to be there from soup to

nuts. Come on.

Marrakesh. What?

We're flying to Marrakesh on a magic carpet.

Well, be sure and drop us a line, will you?

say we go into Phoenix and see a movie?

We've seen everything, haven't we?

This Diane, doesn't she seem a little old to be Karen's friend?

Oh, I suppose she does a little, but then Karen's so shy, maybe she'll be

for her. I guess you're right.

What are we going to do tonight?

I have to tell Alex.

Whatever you want.

That's probably him.

Hi. Hi. What's going on in here, Apollo?

Do you guys need a ride somewhere or what?

We haven't decided what we're going to do yet.

Well, you better make up your mind because I'm getting ready to head out.

where to?

Coast of Delray.

California?

Well, it's not the end of the world, sunshine.

It's six or seven hours and then salt air and blue Pacific.

Sounds fantastic.

Well, you're both more than welcome to come if you want to.

Oh, sure. Just pick up and leave.

Why not?

I wish I could.

Look, I've got access to a big house right on the beach, complete with

surfboards. And a sailboat.

What about my parents?

Leave them alone.

You're not a little girl anymore.

What do you think, Diane?

Sounds wild.

I'm game if you are.

Yeah. Well, I'll drop you a card, huh?

Wait.

It'll take me a few minutes to pack.

Great. I'll help. Come on.

Did you lose something?

My keys.

I think I left them in the house.

I'll run in.

No, that's okay. I think I know where they are.

Did you find them?

Shortly after daybreak on July 17th, Mr. and Mrs. Vern Collins of Phoenix,

Arizona, received a special delivery letter warning that $200 ,000 ransom

be required for the safe return of their daughter, Karen.

The family immediately contacted the FBI, and Inspector Lewis Erskine assumed

-the -scene supervision of the case.

According to the postmark, they've driven west.

Ken, you better get these to the Bureau right away.

Mrs. Collins, do you have any idea what Karen's plans were last night?

I'm afraid not, Inspector.

We got home very late, and we saw that Karen was gone. We tried to phone Diane.

She said she lived on Mariposa Street, but we couldn't find any listing for

We were hoping she was spending the night there.

Who else knew you were going out last night?

We had no reason to keep it a secret. The truth is we have a pretty active

social life. We go out quite a bit.

And Karen stays here alone?

Only on Thursdays. We have a live -in housekeeper, Mrs. Craft.

Thursday's her day off.

Maybe the kidnapper knew that, too.

How long has she been with you?

Oh, almost a year and a half. She should be here soon.

Excuse me.

There's no one named Farmer living on Mariposa Street, and there's no listing

for a Diane Farmer anyplace in the city.

Colin, how long has Karen known this Diane Palmer?

Only about a week or two.

They met at one of those rock concerts in the park. You see, Inspector, my

daughter is very shy when it comes to making friends.

That's why I was so happy when I thought she'd found someone a little bit

special to her.

Hey.

Inspector, are you thinking that perhaps this Diane had something to do with my

daughter's kidnapping?

It's a possibility.

Well, this is it. End of the road.

Hey, it's great.

What'd I tell you?

Oh, I wish we were here alone.

Well, we could be.

What do you mean?

The ocean's very, very deep, Jenny.

That chain and anchor just about weigh anything down.

We said we wouldn't hurt her.

You said it.

Look, it's crazy to let her run around as though nothing's happened.

But as long as she doesn't know.

What if she finds out?

She won't.

She won't.

If you're nice to her.

At least until this whole thing is over with and we're a long ways from here.

Just the two of us.

Alex, you gave me your word.

All right.

Keep an eye on her. I'm going to call Frank.

You girls share the upstairs bedroom.

And if you thought... I was just thinking how good things happen when you

even expect them.

Yeah.

Life's just full of good surprises.

Good for you, old buddy.

How's it feel to have all that ocean and sunshine while I sit here sweating out

the payoff?

Hey, man, what's with you? We're the ones who snatched the girl. All you have

do is pick up the bread.

I get buggy in these two -by -four motel rooms.

I keep thinking that I'm back in stir.

Okay.

I figure they got the letter by now.

What about the papers?

Nothing. Nothing on TV or radio either.

Good.

Then you'll go ahead and make both calls the way we planned it.

And don't try to call me back here.

I'll be in touch with you.

Very good likeness, isn't it, dear?

Yes, it is very good.

The coffee's ready, Mrs. Collin.

Should I serve it now?

Oh, please, Mrs. Craft. Thank you.

Thank you, John.

Sorry.

It's all right. No harm done.

who's upset as we are. How do you like yours, Inspector?

None for me. Excuse me.

Mrs. Grant?

Oh, Inspector.

I must really apologize again for my clumsiness.

very upset about Karen.

Was it this picture that upset you?

The picture? Of course not.

Perhaps the girl looks like someone you know.

No, I've never seen her before.

Does the name Diane Farmer mean anything to you?

No. You never heard Karen mention her friend's name?

Well, she may have mentioned it, but I don't remember it.

Do you have any children, Ms. Craft?

No, sir.

Thank you.

Diane, what's he really like?

Alex? I don't really know him too much better than you do.

I thought that you... That we went together? No.

I only met Alex about a month ago.

He's neat. He's really neat.

But I don't know. I guess I just like him more as a friend than a boyfriend.

Feel better?

I thought you wanted to learn how to surf.

I told her to put her bathing suit on.

Well, I was afraid I might look foolish, or that I might even drown.

I wouldn't let either one of those things happen to me.

Promise.

Okay. It won't take me more than a minute to change.

We are going to be so rich, baby.

Rich. You act like it's something new for you. Yeah, well, it is.

This time it'll be my money, not my old man's.

My poor little bitch boy.

Hey, my old man never gave me anything without charging me double.

Treated me like I was some kind of property.

Well, we get that

money, we're heading straight for Europe.

I'm going to knock on my old man's Swiss chalet.

Well, Alex, do we have to?

Oh, yeah, yeah, we have to.

I've got to show him I didn't need him then, I don't need him now.

Of course we'll do some shopping, huh?

Yeah, yes.

When you meet my old man, I want you to look like a princess.

Oh, Alex.

It's ridiculous, isn't it?

I mean, who ever heard of a princess serving time for robbery?

I told you not to mention anything.

It's in the past.

It's over now.

Now on all we have to worry about II oh You might try to use the phone

But

things along This phone.

It doesn't work.

Well, it's probably been turned off.

I tell you, this place hasn't been used in a long time.

What's happening?

I was just telling Karen about the phone.

I wanted to call home. Tell my folks I'm all right.

Hey, listen, I have to go into the village later. Why don't I stop by the

telephone company and have them turn it on?

Okay.

Now, you didn't come all the way to California just to call your folks, did

No. All right, let's go.

Can't surf too well in here.

Lewis, we've blown up a snapshot the kidnappers sent.

The upholstery pattern was distinctive enough to warrant a manufacturer's

Any results yet?

Oh, yes.

That pattern was used exclusively on 1972 LTD bromes.

And the color of the car, judging from the door frame, was brown.

Hold on a minute, Art.

A mugshot of the girl, Lou, and some comparison photos.

Would you look at these, please?

Tom just got in from the airport with a mugshot, she said.

It's Mrs. Craft's daughter, all right.

The latents on the photograph matched her identification record under the name

of Jenny Lee Nelson.

True name, Jenny Lee Craft.

All right, Arthur, I'll get back to you.

Tom, would you ask Mrs. Craft to come in, please?

All right, Inspector.

That's the girl who called herself Diane Farmer.

Excuse me here, Mrs. Craft.

Would you join us in the living room, please?

Of course, Mr. Cole.

What is it?

Is it Karen?

Do you mind looking at these?

It's Jenny.

My daughter.

Your daughter?

Mrs. Craft.

That's the girl we think... We didn't know you had a daughter.

Where's she been living?

in an apartment with me for about two months.

I lost track of her when she went to prison.

Then suddenly she called me.

Did you see her yesterday?

No.

And all of her clothes are gone.

Do you have any idea where she might be now?

Oh, please forgive me.

If Jenny had anything to do with this terrible thing, please forgive me.

Yes. You got the letter?

About your daughter?

Yes. Is she all right?

She'll stay all right, just as long as you don't put the law on me when I go to

pick up that money.

And you better remember that lady.

My husband's trying to rape it now.

You'll be hearing from me again.

Voice familiar?

No.

We'll know more when he calls back.

Does your daughter have any friends here?

Friends?

Oh, there's one young man.

I haven't met him.

Don't even know his name.

Does he have a car?

She uses mine sometimes.

You know, the young man...

He might work in a car wash.

He gave Jenny some free coupons.

I think I still got them in the glove compartment.

You'd like to see them?

Oh, yes. Go ahead.

In business.

I talked to Frank. He put the first call through. Collins is out trying to raise

the money now.

Hey, what's with you? I bring home good news and, uh... What's the matter?

Karen and I had a long talk after you left.

Yeah, about what?

I'm in love with you.

Hey, for a minute I thought it was serious.

It is!

Not as serious as $200 ,000.

I just feel a little sorry for her, that's all.

But there's something in common.

Who is she, inside?

On the beach.

I told you to keep an eye on her.

This isn't a picnic, Veronica.

I won't let her out of my sight again, I promise. It might be too late already.

She wouldn't be running back if she suspected anything, would she?

Would she?

I thought I'd take a little walk.

What were you talking about with the fisherman?

Fish. He was telling me about all the big ones that got away.

Why?

Oh, Alex was just being big brotherly again.

But it's not too smart talking to the characters on the beach, really.

I'll keep that in mind.

Come on, the barbecue's ready.

Hey, Karen!

We're going to go for a sail.

Right now?

Why not?

Wind's getting a little strong. We might not be able to go later on. Sure, I

came to see the beach.

It's not fair for her to do all the work.

That here?

That was his name, Inspector?

Remember what kind of car he was driving?

Cars are my bread and butter.

It was a brown LTD.

Brown. 72.

You can keep that application form. I won't be needing it.

Thank you.

That address, it's a motel.

A real fleabag of a joint, if you know what I mean.

Did Van Heusen live there alone?

Him and another guy split the tab.

At least that's what he told me.

I knew that Van Heusen didn't belong in a job like this.

Big ideas.

You know, like that car.

Did you ever see this roommate of his?

I don't believe so.

What about her girlfriend?

Her I remember.

I'm telling you, she had to have the cleanest car in this town the way he

letting her go through here.

That's the girl.

Well, you've been very helpful. Thank you.

Anytime, sir.

We're on Van Heusen for the NCIC.

And the motel.

Oh, if this roommate is still involved in it, he may be there.

Inspector, the subject has just placed his suitcase into the trunk of his car

and is entering the motel office.

Maintain surveillance.

I will.

Lou, Mr. Wedge on the line.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

Lou, we have a very good possible ident for you on Van Heusen's roommate.

He matches the description, and his name is Frank Hayes Commongore.

His identification record shows three arrests, two convictions, one for

with intent to kill.

Arthur, I think I'd like to go through with the drop.

All right, Lewis.

Good luck.

Yes? Have you got the money?

Okay, now you got ten minutes to make the drop.

But ten minutes!

Now here's where you go.

VX4, do you see the subject near the drop site?

10 -4, Inspector.

PX -2, subject's at the foot of the incline.

He's about 10 feet from the package.

He has the package and is heading back, Inspector.

We see him now.

PX -4.

We've spotted him.

All units, stand by to move out as soon as he reaches his car.

Hey, you.

What are you doing here?

Well, you better take a look.

All right, hold it right there.

All units, move into the top of the dam.

Subject has just shot a security guard.

Jenny Frank did a show at the airport last night.

Well, did you call him back in Phoenix?

No answer. Something's gone wrong.

Just wait.

Look, maybe he decided it was safer to drive here instead and he had no way of

reaching us.

Yeah.

Yeah. Hey, maybe you're right.

Well, then he should be here in a couple of hours.

Where's Karen?

Upstairs sleeping like a lamb. I just checked.

Sleeping. Lewis, Alex Van Heusen's parents have homes in Miami and

and a beach house in Costa Del Rey just south of Los Angeles.

And Commongar had a plane ticket for Los Angeles and we arrested him.

How soon can you get out there?

We're near the airport. I'd say a couple of hours.

Good. I'll tell Brian to rancher on the way and have them put the beach house

under surveillance.

The phone's been pulled out.

Probably by accident.

Was it by accident you lied to me?

What do you mean?

About you and Alex.

You said you never went together.

We didn't. Then what about the picture inside this watch and the inscription?

I can explain that.

Forget it.

Tell her the truth, Jenny.

Jenny?

You told me your name was Diane.

What's going on here?

What do you want from me?

From you?

Nothing.

But from your father.

$200 ,000.

That is, if he ever wants to see you again.

Alive.

No, no

Holidays

over Karen

Thank you.

Inspector? Tom? Brian, are they here?

Jenny Nelson's inside the cottage.

What about Van Heusen and the Collins girl? I just talked to that fisherman

there. He identified a photograph of Karen Collins as a girl he spoke to

yesterday afternoon on the beach.

Has he seen her since?

Just briefly.

He was crossing the road about an hour ago, and she drove by.

They were heading north, up the coast.

He didn't get a good look at the driver, but he did describe Van Heusen's car.

Let's go.

Yep, we are.

Will you come in?

What do you want?

First, Miss Craft, I want to advise you of your rights.

You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say can be used against

you. And you have the right to an attorney, if you wish.

I don't know what this is all about.

Where's Karen Collins?

How am I supposed to know?

You were with her before she was kidnapped.

She left this house an hour ago with Alex Van Heusen.

That's a lie. She hasn't been here.

Jenny, Frank Commango is in custody.

All that matters now is Karen's safety.

You do care about that, don't you?

Alex won't hurt her.

He promised.

How much faith do you put in his promises?

Maybe.

No. Where are we?

Just a place I used to explore when I was a kid.

And don't be afraid. I said I wasn't going to hurt you, right?

Come on.

Too many people know about this place.

The man who owns it thinks that these cars will be worth a lot of money

I bet he doesn't even come down here to look at them.

Then how will anyone find me?

As soon as I get the money, I'll call your folks and tell them where you are.

No, you won't.

Now, what do you mean by that?

You're gonna kill me.

I know it.

You're afraid that if I'm found, I'll tell the police who you are. Isn't that

the truth?

Yeah.

There's no other way out of here, Karen.

Please.

It's all over, sunshine.

Just stay here.

Everything's alright.

You know, Lisa, I've been thinking.

The three of us should go away somewhere where we can really spend some time

together.

I've got a better idea.

Why don't we spend some time together here in our own home?

She's here.

Daddy. Oh, she's all right, isn't she, Inspector? She's just fine. Baby, it's

good to have you home.

Darling, we missed you so.

Inspector, I don't know how we can ever thank you. Glad we could be of help.

Alexander Van Heusen, Jenny Lee Nelson, and Frank Commingore were tried in

federal court and found guilty of kidnapping.

Commingore and Van Heusen were also convicted of assaulting federal
