- "Invictus. "

Look at that life line.

Nina, looks good.

- C'est bon.

- C'est bon.

You've reached

International Rescue Adoptions.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Hey, Mrs. Reigert,

it's, uh, Steven Mayer.

Um, we had a great

couple days at the resort,

but we decided to move

to the Caribbean Hotel.

It's closer to Old San Juan,

and there's more stuff

for kids to do here, so...

Hi, Steven.

Oh, hey... hey, Gabrielle.

Um, yeah, the neighbors

were a little loud last night,

so we kind of decided we'd move.

Oh, that's not good,

keep you awake.

No, no, no. It's fine,

and we appreciated being there.

It's just, um...

The Caribbean Hotel, you said?

Yeah.

I know it well.

It's beautiful.

You're gonna love it there.

Hey, any word on the passport?

Oh, still Monday or Tuesday

or even Wednesday I'm afraid.

It'll come by registered post.

How's Nina?

She's just, uh...

she's great.

We're all very, very happy.

Feels like she's been with us forever.

Good, good.

Well, you have a great time.

Enjoy yourselves.

Okay, catch up Monday.

Okay, thanks.

Bye.

She picked the pink one.

- I think I did all right.

- I like it.

I did good, right?

Want to see? Tu veux voir?

Yes!

I should take...

You're asleep already?

I'm so tired.

Like mother, like daughter.

Baby, I'm kind of wired.

I think I'm gonna take a walk.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Okay.

I'll be back.

Love you.

Love you too.

And here's the weather for Chicago...

Baby, it was only a few drinks.

It's always only two drinks.

- Steven, come on.

- What?

All right, just...

let me give her a kiss, okay?

Okay.

And you have

the best mommy in the world.

That's true, but...

but Mommy's trying to get us home.

And you've had too much to drink, so...

Low of 46.

On Sunday, partly sunny...

Shannon!

Hey.

- You guys are everywhere.

- Hi.

- What are you drinking?

- This guy here.

- Grab a table, Salo.

- Good to see you again.

What do you want, man?

What are you drinking?

I think I'm on my way out.

Don't worry about it.

I'm buying, so...

might as well have one.

A near beer.

- Non-alcoholic?

- Yeah.

Uh, four, one...

No alcohol?

Not tonight.

Are you guys from here, the island?

- Okay.

- Mm-hmm.

- Locals.

- Beautiful place to live.

Not as good as America though, right?

I wouldn't say that.

It's amazing here.

- It's f***ing amazing here, right?

- Yeah, I love it.

I like Puerto Rican Chinese girls.

Here you go.

Go easy on that one there.

Yeah, I don't drink much anymore,

but I still like

the taste of beer, so...

I don't know, man.

I... I quit for a while,

and then I realized

I really wanted... alcohol.

Salud.

Cheers.

Steven here is on a mission of mercy.

- A mission?

- Well...

He adopts needy kids

from Dante's inferno

and whisks them back to America.

We're adopting one.

The little girl

you saw us on the beach with,

she's a Haitian refugee.

And we're adopting her.

- Oh, that's lovely.

- Isn't it?

Did you ever spend

any time down there? Like...

No, not that region.

You?

Yeah, I spent some time down there.

- Yeah?

- Yeah. I was doing like a...

working with security

for this place called PNC...

guards medical supplies.

And it was kind of a...

- After the earthquake?

- Yeah, mm-hmm.

Yeah. Anyway, here's to you.

It's a great thing

what you're doing, man.

- Cheers.

- Appreciate it.

All right, guys, I told Shannon

I'd be five minutes,

so I'm gonna head out.

- You can't go now, man.

- Why can't I?

You can't walk out on your round.

It's basic Puerto Rican manners.

We get you a round,

you get us a round.

You owe us a round.

See, we got you the first round.

Now, you get us the second round.

I understand, okay.

I can... I can do that.

Salo's got a lot of rules.

That's not a rule.

Come on, man.

Can I get another round

of what he ordered?

Four-and-four.

Exactly.

There's etiquettes everywhere.

Is it expensive?

- What's that?

- Well, the whole process.

You know,

cutting through all the red tape.

Um, I suppose if one does,

but we went a more

straightforward route.

No, I mean, is it hard...

like, do you have to need an expeditor

or do they bilk you

for more and more money

or anything?

I mean, you know, I...

I can't speak to that.

The waiting is difficult.

You know, but...

- There it is.

- You guys having another?

Yeah. Here, brother.

You got to drink that.

Um, let's see.

Um, this should cover

both rounds.

You guys have a great evening.

All right, bud.

- Is that for me, dude?

- We're not good enough for you?

- Shannon, it's not what you think.

- Have you lost your mind?

I didn't do anything, I promise.

I didn't know where you were.

You call me from a police station

in the middle of the night.

They wouldn't let me just

walk out of here on my own.

I had no choice.

It's the way they do things here.

Have you been drinking?

No, the guy dumped beer on me.

It was the weird people from the cabin

that we keep running into.

They just twisted the story all around.

Sir. Sign here, will you please?

Is this really happening?

Are we really back here?

I didn't do...

Nina, um...

Oui.

Nina, I'm sorry

Mommy had to wake you up

in the middle of the night.

I hope you can forgive me.

Yeah?

Hello.

Heard it was the wild,

wild west out there, huh?

It was, um,

a misunderstanding.

Yeah, you had a run-in

with some troublemakers, I understand?

Yes, actually, I did.

I was attacked for no reason.

I tried to explain that

to your officers.

Yeah, well, a nice family like you

shouldn't have to deal

with that type of nonsense.

Life shouldn't have

to be that complicated.

That's my card if you need anything.

And who might this little florecita be?

It's our daughter, Nina.

Lovely.

Well, look,

we really love tourists here,

so please enjoy yourselves.

Do yourself a favor...

stay out of bars for awhile, okay?

Yes, sir.

You up?

Yeah.

Baby, I'm sorry about last night.

It won't happen again.

Do you know what I...

what I really think would make

everything better?

What?

Pancakes.

Okay.

- That's easy.

- I'm the world's cheapest date.

You order pancakes,

I'll see if Nina's awake.

Okay.

Nina, honey.

Nina, honey.

Steven!

She's not up here!

What?

What do you mean she's not here?

Nina! Honey?

Nina.

Nina!

Her shoes are gone!

The door was locked.

She's not here.

- Nina!

- Nina!

Nina!

- I'll ask reception.

- Okay.

- Nina!

- Nina!

Hi.

I'm looking for my daughter.

She was in her room.

She's been missing...

I don't know for how long.

- Nina!

- She's seven years old,

- She's about this tall.

- Excuse me, sir, can I help you?

Yeah, our daughter's missing.

Okay, how old is she?

Uh, she's seven, she's Haitian.

Maybe you saw her

come through the lobby?

I'm sorry.

- She was wearing...

- She was wearing, uh, pink pajama pants

- with polka dots and a blue t-shirt.

- Okay, calm down, calm down.

You know, the little ones,
