He has two days.

Why should something be wrong?

He has moved out and lied

where they were going.

They gave him permission

to take your son.

We have shared parental responsibility.

"It has not been easy. Why not?"

I've slipped him in court before.

Jeff does not always return Kobe.

Why did not you ask for

parental responsibility?

It was several years ago

when we walked apart.

I thought he had changed

and it would be better.

We only hear half

of the story here.

They have disappeared and I have

not heard anything for five days!

It's not illegal to be a fool.

We need to wait.

Wanna talk to me, Nathalie.

- Where's Jeff?

- I do not know. I moved.

- What happened?

- You know Jeff.

He lost his job.

I did not want to hit the bottom with him.

- Do you have any idea where he is?

- No.

For the first time, I'm not looking

for the dream prize on MySpace.

- Where are you going?

- Below.

- Where are you going?

- Below.

- Do you want a company?

- No, just sleep.

Pittsburgh Steelers.

Steelers.

"When do you pay back?" Typical.

"When do you pay back?" Typical.

"I love to travel.

Can we meet in Honolulu?"

"I would like to meet you personally."

Now I have you.

I found an email that

Jeff is going to Hawaii.

They were going to Disneyworld.

Not to Hawaii.

Has he not broken the deal?

- They gave him permission.

- To go to Florida.

And the week is gonna be tomorrow.

Can not we just try to find him?

How did you get this?

Take care, Mrs. Rubin.

The law is very clear.

Do you have children, assistant Gomez?

- Yes, I have two.

- What would you do...

if they promised to call and

you did not hear anything?

Would you sit and wait without

doing anything? What would you do?

- Would you go to the cinema?

- Nice. We'll do it.

Call JFK and see if they have

departure information about them.

Thank you thank you.

Mrs Rubin.

Jeff Lee flew to Korea on Monday.

He took Kobe with.

No, he can not.

He can not take my son to Korea.

He can not take my son

without my permission!

- No...

- The FBI now takes over.

- No...

- The FBI now takes over.

"I'm really sorry, Mrs.

Rubin," he can not!

What did they say?

Do they send someone to find him?

- I've said what they said, Chris.

- I just want to help.

I know.

I do not understand what has happened.

They were together every other weekend.

Jeff picked up and

handed Kobe on time.

He fooled you.

How could I be blind?

For good health,

strength and our family

we pray to you, our

lord God Amen.

We'll find you, Kobe. I promise.

Connie de Grazia.

I'll handle the case.

They move on to another.

We have asked Jeff Lee to

forgive your son's passport.

We have asked Jeff Lee to

forgive your son's passport.

We demand that South

Korea deliver your son.

We will keep you informed,

but we can not say much.

They will be a contact person.

Agent Walters, Your Contact Person.

I'm your support.

According to the Hague Convention, countries

must comply with parental leave agreements.

But South Korea never wrote below.

It complicates it all.

It is complicated.

What if the Koreans say no?

You can prosecute in South Korea.

What should I do in the meantime?

I have a list of support groups

with other elderly people.

Not for me to get better.

How do we get Kobe back?

Be patient and let's do our job.

Now please.

I felt sorry for you, but the

rector got a little mad.

Thanks. Lie there.

How are you doing?

- Women are Jeff's weak point.

- It's Renita.

"Hi, Jeff. I saw your pictures

and thought you look sober."

"My name is Renita and

I want to meet you."

- Is that too much?

- No.

- Send?

- No. Write something about his muscles.

- No. Write which mele you have.

- Nice.

- 36-24-36. Like in "Brick House".

- It's not a song.

You know what he likes.

- 40-26-36.

- Halljsa.

- What are you doing here?

- I'll take you.

- You're missing a whole guard.

- Listen here.

I want to do more than

filling envelopes and here.

I am going aswell. I also miss Kobe.

I miss us.

It is imperative for detective

work to find children.

Your best chance is to hire someone.

And we are the best.

Korea is complicated.

But we'll probably get him home.

How many cases do you listen to?

How big a percentage of them?

- Can you explain us?

- It depends on the case.

And what you mean by "Lost."

But we never give up.

We have mothers who

contact the boy's father.

I just want my son back.

Yes, but we have these options.

- What does it cost?

- It usually ends...

100-200,000 dollars. Maybe more.

- And then did I get Kobe home?

- We do not provide any guarantees.

I know it sounds like a

lot of money, Mrs. Rubin.

But you wonder how

much Kobe is worth.

Did you just ask me a

prize on my son's head?

We have 5,000. I can get

20,000 from my parents.

It will still not be enough, Chris.

- You can take a little.

- Chris.

I can ask my boss a little.

Stop, Chris. Now be seated.

It's not about the money.

It's about getting Kobe and

nobody can guarantee it.

- It's not your problem.

- What?

- Kobe is my son.

- Hold on.

I know you're upset.

But how can you say that?

I did not mean that, Chris.

How did you feel like that?

What is a father? You do not know

because you do not have one.

- Now you're not fair.

- Is it only biological?

I'm following Kobe at school every day.

We play ball.

I love him.

Kobe is not mine and we are not a family.

Do you mean it?

No, of course not, Chris.

Listen here. I'm overwhelmed.

I can not wait for you and Kobe.

I'm concentrating on

getting him back.

That's no excuse.

Do not shut me out.

Treasure.

We prayed for you in the church today.

We prayed for you in the church today.

What does it take? I pray every night.

Kobe has not come back.

And I have not tried to help.

What does it take? I pray every night.

Kobe has not come back.

And I have not tried to help.

The pastor gave me the name

of a man who can help.

Yes.

Like the real estate agent from the church-

- who sold your apartment

for half price last year.

Or the pointer, who

lost your $ 5,000.

Neither a boy nor a man

from the church can help.

Only the FBI or CIA-

-or an expensive dusky boy can help.

You must use everything you have.

Also see your husband.

Now be seated. Look at me.

So you can say:

"What did I say"? No thanks.

Tiffany Merle Rubin...

"Leave me alone, Mom."

Mother! Chris! Renita got a hit!

N? Fake and fiery...

or...

- respectable?

- Sorry, I say.

- The red is their lightning.

- Mommind likes it enlightenment.

Renita should have a red

dress and push up-bra.

- Hi. I'm Jeff.

- I'm Renita.

- You're pretty, as I thought.

- Is it a compliment?

What do you think?

I think... that I would

like to meet you.

Do you want it, Jeff?

It feels right. Do not you think?

ADDRESS:

Where are you?

I mean, Jeff.

I have many flight points.

I can sit on a plane

this weekend.

Would you fly so

far for my sake?

Yes.

- We can be matured in...
