Never Let Go Page #3

If I lost Alia, I would be insane.

They say, the mother whose child

is under the wheels of the bus,

will find the strength to lift the bus.

She's just a mother lifting the bus.

- Are you okay?

- Uh... Hi.

Sure. I...

I need to make an emergency call

to this number.

- Of course. Yes.

- Oh, thank you.

And I need

to scan and e-mail this image.

300 dirhams for call, 200 for scanning.

I...

I have no money.

Not possible. Sorry.

Please!

The life of my baby daughter

depends on me, this call.

Everything I do...

Then I telephone police.

No, no, no, no, no.

No. Sorry.

Look, I have very little time.

- You have a daughter, yes?

- Yes.

I have a daughter, a baby...

A baby girl.

Someone has taken her from me,

and I need to call this number...

- Papa.

- ...someone who can help me.

Let me make this one call.

Please.

Papa.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Papa.

Three, zero, four, eight, six, nine.

Come on.

- Lisa?

- Yes! Did you manage to trace it?

For a while, yeah, but I lost signal.

Which direction?

Give me whatever you've got.

I tracked the vehicle for 3.4 miles

northeast from its original location.

Then it took El Jadida Road

heading northwest.

The mountain road?

Afraid so, yeah. I lost signal

about a mile down there.

Lisa, that road is over 200 miles long.

It's passing at least

40 desert settlements,

and linking several borders

via dirt roads.

That kind of radius, without

an army of backup, I would forget it.

- It's unworkable.

- No!

Lisa, every village off that road

is a rabbit warren of streets,

many of them without even names.

The chances of you finding a vehicle

without clear satellite imaging...

No, I have to try.

Tell me what's happened.

I've lost...

What? What have you lost?

I wanna help you.

Something I didn't even know

I wanted this much.

Okay, look, for what it's worth,

I have e-mailed you

a screen grab of the map.

Look, if you give me your exact

location, I'll jump on the next flight.

I could be there, if not tonight,

tomorrow morning.

I could be at the airport

in less than two hours.

Oh, no.

Lisa? Are you there?

Jeanette?

I think I'm in a lot of trouble.

Tell me how to help you!

Call Clarke.

Clarke? Clarke Anderson?

Are you still working with him?

Not exactly.

Tell him...

Tell him Sophie...

Sophie what? Is that code?

Oh! Just show him...

Lisa, what the hell is going on there?

What is your position?

I just need my daughter back,

do you understand?

Come here. Come on.

Come on.

Just put pressure on it.

Nick, I need a trace on my line one now.

Call me back with what you got.

Come in. Come in.

Sit.

No one is going to hurt you, okay?

Sir, there's been

several sightings of her.

Okay?

Okay.

She just shot the owner

of an Internet cafe.

Get a chopper up there.

If she resists arrest, take her down.

Come on.

Thank you.

Okay.

Hey, I need a favor.

Can you get me on a flight?

Tonight.

You believe her?

She want her baby.

I know.

I'll try to help her.

Something extra for you tonight.

You know, this pretty mouth

should not need to stay hungry.

Where is the mother?

Another unwanted.

So sad.

A mother so cold

as to abandon her child.

Don't you think?

I should go.

Can you imagine your father or

your mother gone just like that?

My mother died a few years ago.

Then you should know how important it is

to find a good home for our children.

I'm sure your father will agree.

Mmm?

See that she gets home

safely.

Unless

you'd like to stay.

Good.

Hello.

Lisa.

Are you okay?

Where are you calling from?

I don't know exactly.

Did you find out anything

from Intelligence?

Yeah. I did.

It doesn't make great reading.

Just tell me.

There's a growing market

in the sale of children

of a specific ethnic background.

Blond haired, blue-eyed.

The younger, the better,

in terms of market value.

Who's buying?

Very wealthy individuals.

Dubai, the Middle East, anywhere.

Like cars, they're stolen to order.

I should've known this.

It is not your fault.

What else?

A child is usually taken from

a European holiday destination,

and then off to a waiting buyer

in a neighboring country.

What normally happens to the child?

My intelligence suggests

that these are very private,

powerful individuals

who can afford to do this.

They might have several spouses,

and the child...

Go on.

The child would effectively be kept

a prisoner in the family home.

An exotic novelty to keep

the females entertained. Lisa...

How long does it take for

the child to reach the buyers?

Once the child is obtained,

there's, uh, usually

a negotiation period.

A couple of days.

Images are exchanged

to achieve the best possible price.

For these buyers,

several million dollars

is not an issue,

so the kidnappers do everything

they can to assure there's no comeback.

Lisa, what you are doing

is very dangerous.

They are going to throw you

in jail and toss away the key.

I can get you out of there,

but you are going to

have to turn yourself in

to start that process.

No. If they're negotiating price,

they could be getting ready

to ship her out.

I know the direction they headed.

I just need an address.

Just get yourself to an embassy.

I will get you out.

- No.

- Look, Lisa,

if your moves cause these kidnappers

to feel exposed, they...

They may eliminate the evidence.

Do you understand?

Lisa!

Lisa! Do you understand?

The only thing that'll

stop me from looking for her,

is if I'm dead.

Goddamn it!

F***!

Do you have a needle and thread?

Hey, is everything okay, Clarke?

It's, um, fine.

If something's wrong, honey,

you just have to tell me.

No, everything's fine.

Not long now.

You still want us to be a family, right?

Of course.

I've been thinking.

We should get out in front

of the cameras, you know?

The three of us.

A family united.

You could win a lot of support that way.

Don't let it go now, Clarke.

You are so close to the line.

No, you're right.

I'll call Vanessa.

She can set up a photo op.

Good.

- See you upstairs, okay? Night-night.

- Night-night.

What if we are killing a child

by stopping what she's doing?

The airline already confirmed that

she traveled alone, without a child.

The airline records

could have been manipulated.

By whom? And why?

We already know she's on

medication for some problems.

Did you see her arms?

Those scars?

Self-harm, many of them.

We need to know her past.

Yeah, exactly, we don't know.

Do you really want this unknown

woman to be traveling around,

playing her vigilante game

with one of our weapons?

With my gun?

- This could be a big embarrassment.

- Yeah, you're right.

This could be a big embarrassment,

especially if we're wrong.

Shh.

Dimitri!

Shh.

Great.

Also, I need clearance

on a Glock 9mm semi-auto.

Yeah, it's flight number,

Lima November 261.

Yeah, it leaves in one hour, 54.

Yeah, sure, I can hold.

What's going on here?

We're doing a police control.

Have you seen this woman?
