Is he all right?

Yeah, he was out like a light.

So, where to first?

Well, they've got a zoo.

It's got a little zebra train,

or something,

goes right around the whole thing.

Yeah, we can save

on a bit of buggy pushing.

Jake would love it.

Yeah, okay, I'd love it.

So, let's do lunch in

the Monkey Munch Cafe.

The "Monkey Munch Cafe".

And we...

Right.

Why don't we go to the Old Town

in the afternoon?

Why?

I thought we could do some shopping.

I knew you were gonna say that.

Well, I thought I would get

your mom a little something.

She's been amazing recently.

I thought maybe I could get her

a couple of sarongs, or something.

You think she'd like that?

You are so sweet.

Jake!

Jake!

What's wrong?

I know this is a big change for you.

It was for me.

But this is just

a temporary arrangement.

Six months down the line,

you could get a job,

do a few days' work a week.

Something different.

"Normal", you mean.

Sure.

We all have to deal with

what comes at us, Lisa.

Adapt.

Your father would be so proud.

A granddaddy.

Mr. Anderson, do you have a few words?

Mr. Anderson, do you have

any words for our KCM viewers?

A vote for Clarke is a vote for America.

Thank you very much.

Why don't you use that allowance,

or whatever you wanna call it,

take a vacation somewhere?

He's right.

It would do you and Sophie so much good.

Go somewhere you've always wanted to go.

I would've loved to have had

that kind of time with you.

You need to find a way

to forgive yourself, Lisa.

Your father is looking down

at you from heaven,

and his beautiful grandchild.

And all he wants is for you to be happy.

He always wanted to travel more...

Lisa.

Lisa.

Hmm.

So, you are here for vacation, Miss?

Something like that.

Ah, yes, that's great.

I like your baby, it's beautiful.

Is not too much noisy, you know?

I like that.

It's a girl, or a boy?

A girl.

Oh, yes, that's fantastic.

I like girls.

One day, I gonna have a lot of kids,

but I need this, you know?

So, your husband is not with you?

Uh... I'm meeting

my husband at the hotel.

Hey, is this the way?

Yes, yes, sure is,

but I have to say just hi to my friend,

and coming back.

Just two minutes, okay?

No. No, actually it's not okay.

Just take it easy.

This will take only two minutes.

Okay?

Can we get going?

My husband will be getting kind

of worried if I'm much longer.

Your husband is lucky man, Miss.

Be careful, your purse in the market.

Pickpockets, you know?

Oh, yes, he's my best friend.

Soon, we gonna have

a big business together,

selling everything on the Internet.

Your room is not ready.

Probably by 2:
00 p.m.

Maybe a little before.

But you can leave a bag, and

there are a lot of cafes and shops.

Right. Okay.

Thank you for this.

I hope it's not too much of a drain

on those campaign funds.

Lisa, I'm trying to

manage this the best I can.

It's not an easy situation.

Well, you've got a while

till the "Where's-Daddy" conversation.

I wouldn't stress about it yet.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry

I can't be there with you.

Sure. How are those voters behaving?

Oh, you know, slowly,

but we'll get there.

How are you holding up?

Really.

I worry about you, both of you.

Oh, you know, slowly.

We'll get there.

Wherever "there" is.

We're gonna work this out.

I know how strong you are.

And I'm gonna keep your job for you

whether you like it, or not.

These newbies just don't have any edge.

Look, let your hair down.

Just try and relax.

Take as long as you want.

Hey, darling, are you joining us

for dinner any time soon?

Be right there.

Have you told her yet?

I'm trying to figure out how.

With everything that's going on,

the campaign...

I gotta go.

I'll call you.

And give Sophie a big kiss for me.

Good morning, you.

Hello, Miss.

I'm Farrid, and you are?

Lisa. Hi.

I'm not really in need

of anything, thank you.

Oh, you are American, yes?

I love America people.

I'm sure you do.

I think this one

would look just perfect.

Complementing your eyes.

Not that they need much more

complementing, I must say.

No.

Lisa, for you, I would

give this for nothing,

but my mother worked her

whole life in the tannery.

Such hard work to make leather.

The ammonia they use to

strip hides make her sick,

so, I am son, father, doctor.

Oh, go on.

What do you want for it?

You just make me the offer.

No, just tell me the price.

Sophie?

Sophie?

Sophie?

Sophie?

Hey! Hey, that guy! My baby!

That guy's got my...

No!

Someone help! Please!

Where's Paul?

Just go!

No!

Oh!

That way, quickly!

I can't lose that car! Go!

No, you pay, or no drive.

My money is at the beach.

I will pay you double, 10 times, please!

- You pay, no drive.

- No, no! Look, I got money!

Not with me!

Just... I need you to go!

- No, you can no...

- I tell you... No, look, my baby...

- Please understand me.

- No. No.

- My baby is in a car!

- No, no.

Enfant, do you understand?

- She's in that car! That way, please!

- Out.

- For God's sake, do you understand?

- No.

- My baby's in that car!

- You cannot ride. No!

I need you to go after that car!

Damn it!

God!

Okay.

Good.

Come on!

Oh, God!

Yeah. Agent Burrows.

- Jeanette?

- Lisa?

How are you?

I haven't seen you in months.

Please, just listen.

I need you to put

a location trace on my cell.

Do not call me back.

I'll call you at the Bureau.

It's on its last bar of power, so, I

don't know how long you'll get a signal.

Whoa. Are you all right?

Just please...

Just take this down.

- Yeah.

- Bravo, zero, four, four,

zebra, mother, delta.

- Got it?

- Yeah. Got it.

I'm hanging up now, Jeanette, okay?

Lisa, whatever it is, just take...

No! No!

- Down! Get down!

- No! No, no, no! No, I have to call...

- Down, or I shoot!

- No! My baby, my...

No, please!

They have my...

They have my baby in that car!

Please, please!

Miss, you need to come with us.

I'm not going anywhere

except after my baby.

There's been an abduction.

If a crime has been committed, we will

investigate it. You give us the details.

My daughter is in a bag in that car!

That's all the details you need!

Please, we have to follow that car!

Please! Please!

Hey, look, I am unarmed!

If you prevent me from finding out

where that car's gone,

you could be killing my child.

You understand me?

Please! Please!

Hey! Hey!

Listen to me.

I need that chopper,

a weapon, a translator...

Lady, you are not going anywhere

until we can establish...

I'm damn well going everywhere

until I get my baby back.

We've got less than three hours

of the first window.

Nine times out of 10, that is

the only window, and you know it.

Who are you?

Show me your papers, your passport...

I don't have it.

I don't have anything.

My name is Lisa Brennan.

I have some training,

which is meant to make me an asset

in this type of situation.

At least for other people.

My passport, my bag,

it's all at the beach

where they took her.

Who are "they"?
