"Beth, talk about the fine line between hope and acceptance of reality." "Well, when this happened to Natalee, my life was defined." "Defined with two children, my marriage and a job." "Joran took my daughter's life and mine." "He's still out there living his." "[LAUGHING]" "What can I say?" "Ladies, they love me." "[MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH]" "[LATIN MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]" "[WHOOPING]" "Ay!" "[LAUGHING]" "Kiss me." "BETH:" "After Natalee's disappearance , I lost everything." "I lost that life." "This is my life now, trying to get out and talk and educate parents and young people." "No other mother should ever get the call I got five years ago today." "Thank you, Beth." "Thank you." "MATT:" "Come on, Mom." "Do you think they'll ever get Joran van der Sloot?" "I won't stop until we do." "Tell housekeeping not to clean my room." "Sure, no problem." "My girl needs to sleep." "PATRICK [ON TV]:" "How did you know Natalee was dead?" "People go into comas." "Yeah, I was worried for that, but, you know, it really scared me to death." "The girl's never gonna be found, though, I'll tell you that." "Because she is in the sea?" "Yeah." "PATRICK:" "Who helped you dump her?" "A friend." "I'm not gonna say who or..." "It wasn't my father, just a friend." "PATRICK:" "With a boat?" "Yeah." "Please, don't turn it off." "I've seen it, numerous times." "Captain Fisher investigated." "The story makes no sense." "What are you talking about?" "It's a confession." "He admits to dumping her in the ocean while she was alive." "The man Joran claimed drove the boat wasn't in Aruba." "He was in Holland." "He's just covering for his father." "Paulus is still pulling the strings right now." "That's enough." "This is insane." "I have a confession." "I brought you a tape." "I've ordered the captain to close the case." "What?" "This meeting is finished." "Nobody has ever paid for the death of my daughter." "Somebody has to pay for this crime."

"REPORTER 6:" "Think your son will ever be charged?" "REPORTER 7:" "What do think about...?" "Once again, Aruba has refused to prosecute the psychopath who took my daughter from me." "Joran Van Der Sloot is a vicious criminal." "I have him on tape bragging about what he did, but Joran can say whatever he wants, confess again and again, and Aruba will never do a damn thing about it." "REPORTER 8:" "One more question." "Well, I'll be home tonight, Matt, okay?" "I love you, honey." "Okay, bye." "[BETH GROANS]" "I cannot believe I am leaving here again without her." "I just wanted a place to lay flowers." "You're the lawyer, John, explain this to me." "Look, maybe it's time to let go." "Maybe it's time..." "To what?" "Time to stop?" "What would you do, John, if this was your child?" "When do you stop?" "She's my daughter." "Don't ever tell me to let it go." "REPORTER 1:" "Joran." "REPORTER 2:" "Joran, can we ask a few questions?" "What do you have to say about Natalee's mother calling you a psychopath yesterday?" "Are you enjoying this?" "Pack." "What?" "Why?" "I will not have you bringing this." "You want to call attention, do it somewhere else." "I have supper if anyone's hungry." "You think I want those cameras in my face?" "Yes, I do." "I needed to make money." "That's the only reason I talked to Patrick." "I gave you everything." "That's why..." "Go to school, and you need to do it somewhere else." "ANITA:" "I'll tell them to leave." "Paul?"

"If this had happened on American soil, it would be a different story." "I just wanna find out what happened." "You can understand that." "Listen, if there was anything we could do, we would be doing it." "I promise you." "Beth, please, just go home, let us do our job." "But you're not doing your job." "He's still out there." "JORAN:" "Give me one." "I didn't know you could just light up in class like that." "Can't." "I'm special." "My father's a dean." "Oh, so why do you even go to class?" "Why not just have him fix your grades for you?" "Don't know." "Should ask him." "Where's a good place to party around here?" "My uncle on my mom's side owns this club." "Full of local girls." "Show them a dollar, they do anything." "Forget the locals." "I have a thing for blond American girls." "[SAM COUGHS]" "That's a joke." "You're all over the Internet." "Everyone thinks you're a killer." "You shouldn't believe everything on Internet." "Trust me, dude, no American girl is going near you." "Hey, it doesn't matter what I'm famous for."

"I know these guys from Holland, so don't piss them off." "Do you think about hanging out with a better class of people?" "Because of that crap in Aruba, these are my people." "Let's make it work." "Hey, Wouter, this is Sam." "Sam gets the girls." "His balls big enough for the job?" "Mine are big enough." "Ha, ha." "That's all you need to worry about." "Know what we want?" "You want Thai girls to dance in the clubs in Holland." "Ha, ha, ha." "Yeah, something like that." "[WHISTLES]" "It's easy money, man." "You know the girls, I convince the girls to get on a plane."

"Then you get 20,000, and you come home rich or you stay because you love it." "Oh, that's dance a lot." "Yeah." "That's dance a lot, but not really." "You take breaks, you talk with the guys, you flirt, you make tips." "You'll make better tips there than you'll ever make here." "Okay?" "Okay." "They're gonna go for it." "That's good, that's good, but we do have one problem." "No problem." "Everything goes smooth." "Uh, yeah, yeah, no more financing." "You supply cash up front, the girls get on a plane, okay?" "Then you get your money back." "I just come up with 20,000?" "You'll double your money in two days." "But if that's too much for you and your boy," "[CHUCKLES]" "We find other guy."

"You give me $50,000," "I tell you what really happened to Natalee Holloway." "Joran offered to sell you the truth about what he did?" "For $50,000." "What'd you tell him?" "Network wouldn't authorize it." "He's not known for telling the truth." "So he said he would send me proof that his story is real." "He sent this chip." "Said it was from his cell phone." "Conversations he recorded with his father." "We've been trying to authenticate it." "One expert says it's real." "Another says that it's definitely faked." "So you be the judge." "Joran, are you hanging in there?" "I can't stand this lying anymore." "You have no choice." "You have to think about us too." "I am." "But if they find the girl, at least there's proof that I didn't hurt her." "But what you've done is pretty bad." "Human trafficking is a serious crime." "DEBRA:" "He said that he met some guy in a casino that talked about buying a blond." "He would give Joran $ 10,000 if he would find him a blond." "He said he sold my daughter?" "To the sex trade in Venezuela." "Well, he's probably lying again." "A year ago, he said he left her in the ocean." "BETH:" "But the recording." "I mean, what if this is the one time he's telling the truth?" "What if she is alive somewhere in Venezuela?" "I'm going to Thailand to interview Joran to get more information." "I'm gonna go to Aruba to try and corroborate the story." "I'm going with you." "Aruba officials, FBI, they can say whatever they want." "This is not over." "If there's a chance that my daughter is still out there," "I'm not gonna sit at home and wait." "I'm going." "[TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]" "WOMAN 1:" "Okay." "Joran." "WOMAN 2:" "Looking for me?" "Ready to talk?" "Please." "Why tell the truth now?" "Because it weighs on me." "And if Natalee's family knows the truth then, you know, they..." "They've..." "They can find her." "And you want her to be found?" "That's all I want." "Uh..." "Yeah." "I met the girl at the bar." "Aruba!" "Whoo-hoo!" "JORAN:" "We went to the beach." "Boat pulls up on the sand." "Natalee gets into the boat." "With a stranger and without a word of protest?" "She thought I was going with her." "DEBRA:" "But you weren't." "JORAN:" "No." "NATALEE:" "No, I'm not a whore." "Joran?" "You sold another human being into slavery." "Yeah, I know." "It's sick." "But it was a lot of money at the time." "DEBRA:" "Well, how much is a lot?" "Ten thousand." "When did you tell your father?" "Why does that matter?" "So I can corroborate it." "No, you don't need to do that." "You gave us a chip with his voice." "Of course we're gonna ask him." "I've got a reporter down there." "But that's not our agreement." "Our agreement was you'll tell the truth." "You had no right to talk to my father." "Hey, look." "Everything I just told you was a lie." "Really?" "And I faked the conversation on the chip." "Well..." "Thank you for the money." "BETH:" "What could he be talking about?" "We're here to find out if Joran's telling the truth." "I need to look Joran's father in the eye." "I'll know if he's telling the truth." "We should get out of here." "Joran admitted faking the whole conversation." "The story was a lie." "I am not leaving without facing that man." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Let her go." "BETH:" "We came here for the truth and I am getting the truth." "[BANGING ON DOOR]" "BETH:" "We have a recording." "What do you want?" "Joran said you knew he sold my daughter and now he says it's a lie." "He lies when you tell him to." "Tell him to do the right thing, to tell me where Natalee is." "Leave my property or I'll call the police." "You're a mother." "What if this happened to your child?" "Please, you could talk to him." "You could..." "Do you ever think about how much you hurt my son?" "Stop harassing my family." "I heard about the kind of girl your daughter was." "Maybe if she hadn't been drinking and flirting like a..." "Get out." "You can't protect him." "He did this!" "He did this to her!" "WOMAN:" "Well, Lester, Joran Van Der Sloot is an opportunist." "Anything he can do and can get over on somebody, if he can make some money, have some fun, manipulate people, he enjoys doing that." "He is a classic psychopath." "Now, to a new confession in the disappearance of Alabama teen, Natalee Holloway." "She vanished during a class trip to Aruba back in 2005." "Now, the primary suspect in the case is speaking in an interview last night." "In the middle of our interview, Joran told me he made the story up." "But as we've learned from him, no one knows what is truth and what is fiction." "Is he lying about lying?" "[LINE RINGING]" "JUG [ON RECORDING]:" "Hey, this is Jug."

"I never want to hear from you again." "Come on, Joran, let's go." "[PHONE RINGING]" "Hey, Papa." "PAULUS:" "No more, son." "I thought getting you out of the country would help, but apparently not." "I'm tired of watching you." "It's not my fault, eh?" "She lied to me." "I don't want to hear it anymore." "Get a job, Joran." "Because you won't get another penny from me."

"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." "[CAR'S DOOR LOCK CHIRPING]" "You need help?" "Okay." "You need glue?" "Cheryl, can you help Tallea?" "CHERYL:" "Yeah, sure." "BETH:" "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?" "Mm-hm." "Well, what does he want?" "Well, he said he wants to do the right thing." "[SCOFFS]" "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." "[PHONE RINGING]" "Hello?" "JORAN:" "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?" "[LINE RINGING]" "JORAN:" "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." "BETH:" "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." "If 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." "BETH:" "Wait, Jug." "If 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?" "GUIDRY:" "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." "DELANEY:" "Okay, Joran's in the lobby." "Come on, let's get you in there." "JOHN:" "Okay." "Be careful." "WOMAN:" "He said they'd meet us down there." "[WHISPERING] He's walking in." "Okay, now." "Okay, now." "Guys, guys." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "[SIGHS]" "Joran." "We finally meet." "AGENT:" "Yeah." "He's in." "JORAN:" "You are Beth Holloway's lawyer?" "John Kelly." "Please, come in." "You wanna have a seat?" "No." "You have the cash?" "JOHN:" "Yeah, of course." "We found out right before we left that Customs would only allow us to bring in $ 10,000 cash." "We're gonna have to wire you the rest." "You just brought 10,000?" "JOHN:" "Yeah, Natalee's mother is waiting to wire the rest into whatever account you want." "It's not our agreement." "I did not say that was okay." "All right, I understand, but still, you get the money." "I should never have trusted you, I..." "[JOHN CHUCKLES]" "No deal." "What do you mean, no deal?" "You screwed it up." "JOHN:" "No, no, no, Joran." "We can't let him go." "DELANEY:" "Sit tight." "We'll figure this out." "Don't let him out of your sight." "What do we do?" "[PHONE RINGING]" "John." "Yeah?" "Go after him." "Right." "We've gotta talk him back into that room." "Block it." "Block it." "He's moving to the elevator." "JOHN:" "Joran." "Joran, wait, wait." "Joran." "Joran." "Please, please, look." "I'm sorry." "I should've let you know when I knew about the Customs rule." "I thought you'd be fine with the rest wired." "I'm not fine with it." "Let him try to talk him back in." "Beth." "John stopped him." "Oh." "What could I do to make you feel better about this?" "You don't get it." "I'm trying to help you help Natalee's mom." "Then help us." "Please." "Let's go back to the room." "I'm taking a big risk here." "So are we." "So why don't we try trusting each other." "Maybe we can both get what we want." "JOHN:" "Here." "Just relax, okay?" "All right." "So..." "Here we have... the contract signed by Beth." "Ten thousand dollars." "Come on, kid, take the money." "Go ahead." "Take it, you son of a bitch." "He's counting it." "Yeah, we're gonna send that creep away for a long time." "It's all here." "Of course it is." "Now, all we need is an account number." "We'll give it to Beth and she wires you the rest of the money." "Perfect." "Here we go." "I'll e-mail it to her." "DELANEY:" "Wire the money." "It shouldn't take long." "I've got nowhere to be." "Heh." "You know, I..." "Actually, I have a candy bar in here somewhere." "[CHUCKLES]" "Want half?" "Yeah..." "Oh, sure." "Okay." "I'm gonna turn myself in after I tell you about Natalee." "Really?" "I know you don't believe me, but it weighs on me and that's..." "It's hard." "Go ahead, you're good." "[PHONE RINGING]" "Hello." "I sent the confirmation to your phone." "Great." "I'll forward it to Joran's phone." "[SIGHS]" "I wanna talk to him." "[MOUTHING] No." "Beth, um," "I don't think that's a good idea." "Please hand Joran the phone." "Okay." "Ahem." "It's Beth." "She wants to talk to you." "[CLEARS THROAT]" "What do you want?" "I wanna know what you did to her." "Okay." "You get what's, you know, you pay for." "[PHONE BEEPS AND BETH GROANS]" "We were on the beach." "We were having a good time." "We were playing, you know." "NATALEE:" "I don't wanna go home tomorrow." "Aah!" "And she asked me to put her down because I was carrying her." "NATALEE:" "Please, Joran, put me down." "Put me down." "But she fell." "She hit her head on a rock." "That's when she started bleeding, and she started shaking," "and she..." "You know, she stopped breathing." "It was..." "You know, it was an accident." "And I felt horrible." "I called my father." "So he came." "[ON WIRETAP] He saw her and he said, "No, this is..." "Joran, there's no way people are going to think this is an accident. "" "So he..." "Yeah." "He told me to go home." "It was his idea to bury her in the gravel of a foundation." "Because they were pouring concrete the next day." "And I asked him where he was taking her." "But he just told me he would..." "He'd take care of it." "And finally... he told me." "JOHN:" "So, what you're saying is that she's buried under... something, some kind of house or something?" "Northeast corner." "And you didn't see her buried?" "Natalee was just..." "She..." "She was such a pretty girl and so sweet, and now she's like a ghost." "And it just haunts me wherever I go." "You tell..." "You tell her mother how..." "That I'm sorry for what happened to her." "Where's the house?" "Hm?" "Where is the house?" "Beth." "Beth." "Listen to me." "We really shouldn't be doing this." "Delaney told us to sit tight." "I have been sitting tight for the last four days." "I thought he was gonna be arrested." "We should be doing this their way." "WOMAN:" "Hello?" "BETH:" "Oh, hi." "Can I help you?" "We were just admiring your house." "You've done a nice job." "Thank you." "BETH:" "It looks almost new." "We built it two years ago." "Two years?" "Yes."
