where you were staying...

...I would've just called there.

What's the number?

- I don't have it.

- Kimmy, come on.

This is one of the conditions.

Let me talk to the cousins.

I'll get it from them.

Dad, they're in Spain.

I didn't know. I swear.

To Spain?

Kim, is there anything else

you want to tell me?

Kimmy.

- There's someone here.

- The cousins are back?

No.

- Oh, my God. They got Amanda.

- What?

What are you talking about? Kimmy?

- Dad.

- Kim.

- Kim.

- Dad. They took her.

- They took her.

- All right, listen to me.

Oh, God.

- Did you meet anyone on the plane?

- No.

- In the airport?

- No. Yes, Peter.

- Peter? Peter who?

- I don't know.

- An American?

- No.

Did he know where you were staying?

He took a cab with us.

Dad, they're coming.

- Please, I'm scared.

- I know you are.

Stay focused, Kimmy.

You have to hold it together.

How many people are there?

- Three, four. I don't know.

- Where are you?

- I'm in the bathroom.

- Go to the next bedroom.

Get under the bed.

Tell me when you're there.

- I'm here.

- Now, the next part is very important.

They are going to take you.

Kim, stay focused, baby. This is key.

You will have five, maybe ten seconds.

Very important seconds.

Leave the phone on the floor.

Concentrate.

Shout out everything you see about them.

Hair color, eye color, tall, short, scars.

Anything you see. You understand?

They're there. I can hear them.

Remember, concentrate.

Put the phone closer so I can hear.

They're leaving. I think they're...

Beard. Six feet.

Tattoo right hand, moon and star.

I don't know who you are.

I don't know what you want.

If you are looking for a ransom,

I can tell you, I don't have money.

But what I do have

are a very particular set of skills.

Skills I've acquired

over a very long career.

Skills that make me a nightmare

for people like you.

If you let my daughter go now,

that'll be the end of it.

I will not look for you.

I will not pursue you.

But if you don't, I will look for you.

I will find you...

...and I will kill you.

Good luck.

Sam, it's me. I need a favor.

I'm gonna download something.

I need it analyzed. Right now.

- She's been taken.

- What?

- Any enemies overseas?

- Why would I have enemies?

You do business overseas

through multiple shell corporations.

You were involved in an oil deal with

a bunch of Russians that went south.

- How do you know that?

- I was not gonna let my daughter...

...live with someone without knowing

everything about them.

- I have a few resources...

- Now is not the time for dick measuring.

- Anyone looking to hurt you?

- Not that I know.

- Which room's Kim's?

- What happened?

I got a call from her. There were people

in the apartment. She was taken.

- Oh, God.

- Which one?

That one.

Is there something I should be doing?

You have a lease agreement

with NetJet through your company.

I do.

- Get me a plane to Paris.

- For when?

An hour ago.

- I'm gonna make the call. You all right?

- Yeah, yeah. I'm okay.

Would you please

get her back to me, Bryan?

First I have to find her.

Sam, what have you got?

They're speaking Albanian.

Based on their accents and dialects,

they must be from Tropoja.

The place is ground zero

for scummers.

Even the Russians

give these guys a wide berth.

The one you spoke to,

his name is Marko.

We have information

that a mobster boss...

...by the name of Marko Hoxha

moved to Paris about six months ago.

If he's the one, he's a big fish.

The tattoo, by the way, is a group ID.

- Am I on speaker or are you by yourself?

- Lenore is here.

- Hey, Lennie.

- Hello, Sam.

She needs to hear it, Sam.

The specialty of the groups coming out

of this area is trafficking in women.

- Keep going.

- Okay.

Their previous m.o. was to offer women

from emerging East European countries...

...like Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria,

jobs in the West as maids and nannies.

Once smuggled in, they'd addict them

to drugs and turn them into prostitutes.

Lately, however, they've decided

that it's more economical...

...just to kidnap traveling young women.

Saves on transportation costs.

Oh, my little baby.

What else?

Based on the way these groups operate,

our analyst says...

...you have a 96-hour window

from the time she was grabbed.

- To what?

- To never finding her.

No, no, no.

Daddy!

Mustache. Six feet.

Tattoo on right hand, moon and star.

Da...

Good luck.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Oh, my God.

Dad, they got Amanda.

Oh, God.

Dad, they got her.

They took her.

Go to the next bedroom.

Get under the bed.

- Tell me when you're there.

- I'm here.

Stay focused, baby.

Leave the phone on the floor.

Concentrate. Shout out

everything you see about them.

Hair color, eye color, tall, short, scars.

Anything you see. You understand?

They're there. I can hear them.

Remember, concentrate.

They're leaving. Daddy!

Dad!

Beard. Six feet.

Tattoo right hand, moon and star.

Dad!

- Hi.

- Hi.

- I'm Peter.

- I'm Ingrid.

- On holidays?

- Yes.

- Me too.

- Cool.

Cabs here are so damned expensive.

Want to share?

- Sure. Why not?

- Great.

- Excuse me.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Drive.

- The two American girls from yesterday?

- I don't know.

The next rib drives into your lungs.

The two American girls, where are they?

- Just like the old days.

- Would you have it any other way?

Between you and me? No.

But now that I sit behind a desk,

the world looks different.

- You mean, looks boring.

- I mean different.

Okay, a little boring. But is being retired

any more interesting?

It wasn't. Until my daughter

disappeared in Paris yesterday.

She and her friend were marked by a

spotter at the airport. Albanians took her.

- How do you know this?

- I'm retired, not dead.

And I assume you don't want

to go to the police.

I was told I have 96 hours.

That was 16 hours ago.

- Okay, first, we should find the spotter.

- I found him, he's dead.

You found him that way?

Bryan, you cannot just run around

tearing down Paris...

I'll tear down the Eiffel Tower

if I have to.

- Don't forget who you talk to.

- I'm talking to a friend.

You are. But please remember,

your friend has a desk now.

"Deputy director, Internal Security."

Very impressive.

The Albanians?

They showed up from the East,

six, seven years ago.

Fifteen, 20 of them.

Now there are hundreds.

We don't even know how many.

And dangerous.

So I heard. Where do I find them?

The best place to start is Porte de Clichy.

Bryan, try not to make a mess.

- Gregor Milocivic?

- Yes. Yes, I am Gregor.

I'm Mr. Smith. Get in.

Here is my rsum.

The employment agency said

we would be doing translations.

Yes. Albanian to English.

You do speak Albanian?

Albanian, Serbian, Croatian.

I was a teacher in primary school...

...before the war began in Pristina...

- What's your rate?

My rate?

It is 25 per hour for the first three hours

and then it goes up...

Okay. Now, here's for 10 hours.
