It's a special branch of the Agency.

- And Mom and Josh are gone.

- Not like you think.

- Just don't treat me like an idiot.

- I'm not.

- You are! Mom and Josh are gone.

- I'm not treating...

You're CIA

and you don't know where they are?

I'm sorry.

Is it something you did?

It may be, yes.

I'm sorry, Will.

There's no way

I could ever explain that to you.

But we're gonna get your mother back

and Josh back and Dara back.

Try and get some rest.

- Hey.

- Marty, is that you?

- Yeah, it's me.

- What's going on?

- I'm on my way now.

- What's happening?

- Where are you?

- I'm at home. It's 3:00 in the morning.

I need to see you.

Yeah. Let's go. Come on.

I need you to drive.

Diego, I'm gonna meet Carrack.

I need your help.

I'll call you later.

Does Mom know?

Yeah, she knows.

She knows everything.

- She's my wife.

- How could you not tell me this?

There was no way to tell you.

No way, Will.

It would have never been right

to tell you what I do.

Who's that?

A friend.

Just sit tight.

You gonna be all right?

You're a great son.

Be back in a second.

- Are you okay?

- No.

What's going on? Are you hurt?

What did you do? You set me up?

- Did I set you up?

- Did you set me up?

- Marty, what are you talking about?

- They took Laurie and Josh off the boat.

Who did?

I can't help you

if you don't talk to me, Marty.

Who took Laurie? Who did?

The guys we took the briefcase from.

They want it back.

- Sh*t.

- Who are they, Jean?

They gave me 24 hours,

or they're going to kill them.

Where's the briefcase?

The briefcase went straight up the line.

It's gone.

Carrack, don't f*** with me right now.

- No?

- I'll try.

- No, that's it?

- I'll try.

- Okay, then I'm gonna go.

- Marty, I want to help you.

It went straight up the line.

I don't have it anymore.

You need to fix this.

I'll do my best, Marty.

Dad?

God.

God.

Deal with the body.

- Hello?

- What's the status?

- Someone's trying to kill me.

- Put Tom on the phone.

- Someone shot my father.

- Tell Tom he has less than 21 hours.

Who's Tom? Who the hell are you?

The guy who has your family.

Where do you have...

Hey! Hey, hey! No!

There's a guy who's trying to kill me!

Hold on, this guy's going to kill me!

There's a guy trying to kill me!

Damn it!

Okay, I...

I'm American!

Can you help me?

There's no evidence of a Martin Shaw

with any of our agencies in Spain.

He told us he was a cultural attache.

I thought you said that he wasn't.

My father is dead. Executed. Assassinated.

Mr. Shaw, there's a local warrant

for your arrest.

- It claims you killed a police officer.

- Wait, hold it, hold it. No. No.

Look, the guy who shot my father

was shooting at me halfway across the city.

We can assist you in securing legal counsel

and protecting your rights

as an American citizen.

Look, I did not kill that cop.

But you know what?

We don't have time for this.

My family doesn't have the time.

Will you please help me? Please?

I suggest you accept our help

getting you legal counsel.

- Is there someone else I can talk to?

- Just calm down.

All anyone ever says

to me is calm down.

Tranquilo, tranquilo.

My family has been kidnapped,

and I am wanted for a murder

I did not commit.

Yes?

Yes, ma'am.

Right now, in fact.

Someone needs to talk to you.

Come with us, Mr. Shaw.

Will? It's Jean.

Jean Carrack.

I worked with your father.

You know, I bet if you raise your left hand,

I will see a big white scar

running right across your palm.

You got that making me a martini

when you were 10.

- Don't you remember?

- Hey, yeah. I remember you.

Look, your father has left your family

in a tough spot.

I'd like to help.

Why don't you get in the car

and we'll figure this out?

Okay, if you didn't kill him, who did?

I was there to help him.

I was trying to protect him,

but he wouldn't listen to me.

He was not a great listener, your father.

I'll tell you everything I know

when you get in the car.

Will. Come on.

Do you want to save your family?

Because there's an expiration date on that.

Come on, Will.

So who was your father dealing with

about your family?

Who was his contact?

I thought you said

you were gonna do the talking.

If I'm going to help you,

I have to figure out who I'm dealing with.

Did he call anyone? Did he meet anyone?

- Are you all right?

- I think I'm gonna be sick.

- Really?

- Really.

Pull over.

Better?

All right, kid, come on. Let's go.

Senor!

You little...

Forget him.

Come on, let's go.

We'll just get the other one first.

Hey! Get away from there!

Get away from there!

What?

Don't do this to me. Seriously.

Please. I'm...

Thank you.

Yes?

Hello? Are you... Hello?

Tell your son I want to speak to Tom.

- Will?

- Mom!

Mom, are you okay?

Put your father on the phone.

I need to speak to him now.

Mom,

you can't.

Just put him on the phone.

Mom, I can't put him on the phone.

Will, just do as I say.

Mom, I can't.

Where is he?

Mom, they've killed him.

No! No!

Hey! Hey! Calm down.

Tom and I had an agreement.

My briefcase or your family's dead.

Listen, I don't know anything about

your suitcase or briefcase or anything.

Just let my family go.

- This is not going to buy any more time.

- What?

Remind Tom what is at stake.

Look, my dad is dead

and his name was Martin.

You've got the wrong guy.

Tell Tom. 6:
00 pm. Puerta del Sol.

My briefcase or your family's dead.

Hello. Do you speak any English?

A little bit. How can I help you?

My name is Will Shaw.

I'm just looking for Diego.

He was a friend of my father's.

Can you give me your address, please?

Yes.

Cruz Street.

Hi.

Hi, how are you?

What can I do for you?

- We spoke on the phone.

- Mmm-hmm.

You gave me the directions here.

Mmm-hmm.

Can I help you?

I need to speak to Diego Caldera.

Hey, Will. You feeling better now?

Whoa! Whoa!

Put the gun down! Put the gun down!

Put the gun down!

I only speak goddamn English!

You want to kill my uncle!

Who the hell is your uncle?

Is Diego Caldera your uncle?

Yeah. This cabron comes

in here with a gun

and tells me to sit down and shut up,

waiting for my uncle to come in.

This guy's friends

murdered my father this morning.

Your father was murdered?

That's why I'm here.

My dad called this office

at least a dozen times looking for Diego.

- Where is your uncle then?

- What?

Look, okay? This guy,

his people came looking

here for your uncle.

Where are they going to look next?

Do you really want to be here

when his pals turn up?

Come on. We gotta find your uncle.

- It's open.

- Okay, okay, I've got it.

This kid is all over the damn news.

Why didn't you take care of him

this morning?

Come on, Dixon, answer your phone.

Don't do it!

Hi, Will. Surprise.

Put the gun down, Will.

You're scared,

and scared people holding guns in my face,

that scares me.

Well, this is going to be

a nerve-wracking conversation.

May I sit down?

So,

what can I do for you?

Why did you kill him?
