the fbi said, you can t do that because we can t go to france and arrest him. you ve got to get him back to the uk. anyway, the reason i called, is that i ve never been to heathrow before, so while we were scripting against him, he had a script for kimberly about how to get money from her parents. i don t know where to begin. i told you about the exam. yep. basically we have to tell them at the end of the day today that we have the money, because i have to give it to them tomorrow. so it was a battle of wills and a battle of scripts. ann was insistent that robert and her daughter come to london to get the money. so they finally agreed that, yes, they would come to pick me up in the uk. but we didn t know if it would be just robert, just kim, kim and robert, a third party or nobody. a no-show. a no-show. and so it was a nervous and very uncertain ann hodgins who set out from phoenix on her own secret agent-style mission. i was almost physically sick.
and i don t have any more money than that, john. that wiped me out. so the reason they re calling home to the states is to get money. yes. we knew if we didn t capitalize on that break that we may not hear from kimberly again for a long time. after the fbi and british police determined that freegard and kim had traveled to france, out of their jurisdiction, they set up a plan that kim s schoolteacher mom would execute. you had to learn how to become something of a little spy yourself. well, i guess i did, yes. i hadn t thought of it that way. back home in phoenix, ann s instructions were to use the sporadic phone calls to lure robert and her daughter back to england. hi, ann, how are you doing? a plan was set with tempting bait. kim s mom would give them a check for $20,000 but only if she could deliver it herself in london. she was even given a script by the fbi to deal with curveballs as when robert cleverly suggested that kim s mom fly to france with the money instead.
