Abduction Page #4

Synopsis: High school seniors Nathan and Karen find a website with photos of children who are missing or believed abducted. One of the photos is of Nathan as a child, putting into question the identities of the couple whom he's always called Mom and Dad. Contacting the site to learn more only results in Nathan becoming the target of an intense, high-tech, international manhunt. Before his "parents" can explain themselves, they are executed by hired guns, and Nathan is on the run with Karen in tow (who just happened to be there at the wrong time). Phone use by either of them only connects directly to a man claiming to be C.I.A., in whom they find reasons not to trust. With encroaching shootouts, car chases, hand-to-hand combat and explosions around them, this seems quite much for a mere case of child abduction, and Nathan can only rely on the wrestling, boxing and martial arts skills taught by his "dad" to protect both himself and Karen as they follow a lead to find Martin, Nathan's biological fa

- Don't lose that kid.

- We're on it, Chief. / i

Watch out!

Come on, let's go.

- Alright, we have to get into the river.

What? Why?

They're still trying to track us.

Right here.

Watch your feet.

Behind here.

Was Nathan Price in the vehicle?

I want confirmation!

Okay, sit down.

Relax.

You stay right here.

I'm gonna be right back, okay?

Stay.

Hey!

Come on.

It's okay.

You were crying in your sleep?

- I was dreaming about...

I know.

You don't have to say it.

I have to get you home.

Nathan,

I can't go home.

You'll be safe there.

I won't be safe there.

We're not safe here.

We're not safe anywhere.

- Come, let's go.

- Whe're we gonna go now?

Just walk.

- I can't go back there, Nathan.

Don't you understand?

My parents are in Italy.

Even if they were home,

they can't protect me.

What do we suppose to do?

Call 911 again?

Look, whoever these people are,

whatever they want,

they're after me,

not you.

- I think they'll leave you alone.

- Do you really believe that?

Or you're thinking about what your

therapist said back in the car.

-Your chances are better alone.

No, of course not.

It's just, suddenly everyone around me

is dying, Karen.

And I don't want

anything happen to you.

We have to stick together, Nathan.

Who else we're gonna trust right now

except for each other.

Come on.

Alright,

here is the latest intel we have

about Martin Price's current mission.

Martin Price

obtained a high value

piece of intel.

Specifically a list of

US politicians

and intelligence officers

all of whom, have sold state secret

at one time or another.

the list was stolen from this man,

Nikola Kozlow.

Ex-Serbian secret service,

now freelance program operative.

He wants it back.

Badly.

Yesterday there was

an attack on the residence

where Martin's son,

Nathan lived.

Two of our

undercover agents were killed.

The attackers were

hired gunners...

Connections tracing them all the

way back to Nikola Kozlow.

Martin Price is the agency most

valuable black ops agent.

Keeping his son,

Nathan safe from Kozlow

is our top priority.

How did Kazlow

find Martin's son?

We think he discovered the

existence of the boy a couple of years ago

through a cyber attack.

He's been fishing ever since with

fake missing persons' websites.

One of his traps

finally worked.

Nathan Price

is the bargaining chip.

How so?

If Kozlow gets to

the kid before we do,

gets the list of Martin's.

What do I need to know

that you're not telling me?

The boy escaped from us

last night

with some help

from a veteran operative.

Jerry Bennett, her vehicle

was empty when we got there.

No sign of her,

no sign of the kid's.

Frank.

Get this situation under control,

before things

get any messier.

- Hey, can you take us to Virginia?

- Get in.

- It's quench time, Frank.

- Yup. Where the hell is Martin?

Last contact we had was the shabu drop,

two days ago.

He's vanished since then. The faster

he can make it back here...

is about 36 hours, which is how long

we got to find this kid.

Track the girl.

Track his friends.

Track anyone they've

ever spoken to.

Put up an alert to all

overseas stations.

Get a fix on Nikola Kozlow.

If they can't locate him,

that means he's probably already here.

So that we can add in to

our list of headaches as well.

Clarendon Avenue,

this is the street.

Hello?

" Lorna Price".

G 377.

- What is it?

- I know this woman.

Who is she?

- I think she's my mother.

This must be

of Martin Price's apartment.

I'm gonna call my uncle.

Let him know I'm still alive.

- Hello?

- Uncle Danny?

I'm sorry,

I must have dialed the wrong number.

- Karen? Karen Murphy, is that you?

Who is this?

Someone who is trying

help you and Nathan. / i

How do you know my name?

You are in danger, Karen. / i

There are other people

trying to find you. / i

Who is this?

- Nathan.

Listen to me, Nathan,

We're going to find you.

You can't hide from us.

It's for your own safety. / I

Let's go.

Kids.

Thanks.

This address

could be 15 years old.

You know the chances of finding

your mother living there?

I know.

But that's all we have.

This is an odd address.

Look at the numbering.

"G 377"

That's her plot number.

" Lorna Elizabeth Price"

You know what's messed up?

I never knew either

one of my mothers.

The one who raised me?

I had no clue who she really was.

what she sacrificed for me.

And Lorna Price, all she was

a face in my dream.

Now she has a name,

but she's still a dead end.

Nathan, maybe she's

not a dead end.

These flowers are fresh.

I'll handle this.

-Hello.

- Hi, how can I help you?

My brother and I just came

from visiting my mother's grave,

and we saw some flowers

have been left there recently.

Is there anyway you can check

and see who sent them?

We came a really long way

to visit her.

Couldn't you just help out

with this little favor?

- Okay, what's the name?

Lorna Price.

Okay, so the flowers

came from Omaha, Nebraska.

Mr. P. Rasmus.

Looks like,

it's gonna be a long sending order.

Do you have an address for that?

Signal just got a hit

on the name, Lorna Price.

It came from a computer,

a place called "Calvary Cemetery".

Calvary Cemetery.

The CIA is mobilizing

a strike team out of Pittsburgh.

Speaking in Serbian language...

Dr. Bennett said we could

trust Paul Rasmus.

- We have to find him.

-You wanna drive to Nebraska?

No, we're probably have

been with this car for too long already...

-We need to ditch it.

Well, what then?

We'll never even get

through the airport security.

- They know our names, our faces.

I know, I have another plan.

Hello?

Tuscarora Pike, Route 15.

You are very close to it. / i

Dude, these guys came to my house

asking questions,

I sneaked out back.

This is some deep deep sh*t.

Did you bring what I asked for?

Yeah. Three different IDs in

three different states.

- Yeah, that works.

- Karen,

I went through all

your facebook photos,

I chose the one of you from

that pep rally last month,

Cause I bet you look really

good in it.

-I mean, I can use the one from the beach, if you want.

- These will be fine. Thanks, Gilly.

Cool.

Let's move. We should get going now.

This isn't safe for any of us.

I'm sorry about your parents.

Listen, if there's anything else I can

do for you,

- If you need cash or...

- We're okay.

See you, Gilly.

Thanks, man.

See you.

-Target located.

Tell me where are they?

Step this way, please.

Thank you. Enjoy your trip.

Move in.

Have a nice trip.

Good thing, it's only one night.

Do you remember that summer when...

our families were both

staying at the Canada Dona Lake?

After eighth grade,

In the boat house, we umm...

skipped the canoe trip?

Yeah, I remember.

Kinda.

Well, when we came back

to school that year,

How come you never ask me out?

I don't know.

I just thought summer was summer?

And...

Are we gonna die, Nathan?

No.

I won't let that happen.
