-Mr. Mills
-How are you? -Fine.
-l suppose you wanna see it again? -lf you don't mind.
-You know where it is. -Oh
lf l charged you a dollar every time you came to examine the machine...
...you'd probably own it. lt's the one all the pros use.
Mariah Carey. Beyoncé. Gwen Stefani.
Really? Who's Beyoncé?
Just kidding. l'll take it.
Excuse me
-l'm Kim's father. -Excuse me
-Her real father. -lt's okay
-Hello
l just wanted to give Kim her present.
We're letting the kids have their space.
-Put it with the others. -l wanna give it to her myself.
-Still having trouble following the rules. -Oh
-l've asked you not to call me that. -Excuse me. Lenore.
-Dad! -Oh
-Hi. -Hello
-Happy birthday. -l was telling your father...
-...how we arranged the presents. -Here.
lt's bad manners to open the one...
-...and not the others. -Go on. Open it.
-Cool. -A karaoke machine?
-Well
-We've moved on. -Thank you
My pleasure.
-l still wanna be a singer. Don't tell Mom. -You got it.
Here. One for the book.
-We have a professional photographer. -Big smile
That's my girl.
Oh
Stuart
Happy birthday
-Oh
-Hey
-She's not a little girl anymore
-Will you join us for lunch? -No
l just wanted to be here to wish her a happy birthday.
-Good to see you
Thanks.
-Hey. -Hey.
You forgot.
Come on in.
lt's not like l didn't call to remind you. Third Saturday in May?
-Red meat
Yeah
What does a retiree do
-Hit on rich widows? -That takes care of the morning.
Yeah
Okay. We had her birthday today.
Can you believe my Kimmy's 17?
Seventeen?
-To Kim. -Lennie still got a hard-on for you?
She's not Lennie anymore. She's Lenore.
Oh
-And the husband? -The same. Perfect.
-Dig deep enough
What
Thank you
-How's Kimmy? -Good. She's good.
Yeah? She sleep over yet?
Well
She appreciate the fact that you've given up your life...
...in order to be closer to her?
What a life
Hey
Bry was in deep with that crazy sheik from Hezbollah?
The guy said he'd get us inside then disappeared.
We're scrambling to get the hell out...
...before we get taken down and where are you?
l promised never to miss her birthday.
Yeah
...when they found out you flew the coop...
...to attend your child's birthday 9000 miles away.
Where did you say your next posting was?
The Arctic Circle spying on penguins
No
Actually
My point is we have an open space. Say the word
Who likes theirs rare?
-Guys. -See you
-Good night
Hey
...it's a great thing trying to make up for lost time with Kimmy.
But tomorrow's job? Right here.
Four hours' work
...just for taking some pop diva to and from her concert.
-We're one short. -A singer?
l don't know if you'd call her a singer. More like a cash cow.
Twenty million records sold already and she's not even 25.
Job's a piece of cake.
We get her there and back. lnside
-Okay. -Okay. Okay?
-Yeah. -Like that's it?
Yeah.
-lt'll be perfect. Just like old times. -Better. No one gets killed.
-Tomorrow. Good night
-Get in the back
Ma'am
My mother is ma'am
-Come on
Bernie
Okay.
Let's go
Thank you for coming.
Wow
Thanks. What did you say your name was again?
Mills. Bryan Mills.
-Nice to meet you
-You're on. Come on
Excuse me
l've a daughter who wants to be a singer and was wondering if you had any tips.
Yeah
Tell her to pick another career.
l got one. We're waiting on an air strike...
...and we're waiting and then my satellite phone rings.
-Who is it? -Hello?
-The guy we're to terminate. -Honey.
-He'd like to know if we want some tea. -Sorry
The noise?
l'm at a concert.
You know this song? Yeah?
Yep
l'm-- l'm not attending.
l'm helping some friends out with security.
Well
Who do you think's guarding her?
l'm glad you're impressed.
Hey
l'm happy you called. What?
Lunch? Tomorrow?
Sure
Twelve-thirty it is.
l'll see you then.
-Here he is. And...? -What happened?
-She wants to have lunch. -Okay.
-Just the two of us. -All right. Fantastic.
See? There's progress. That's great.
Who left that gate open? Bry
-Move! -Go
More security here now!
That's it. Move.
Casey!
Bernie
-Go
Here
Come on
lt's okay. lt's okay. You're safe.
You're safe now.
Bernie.
Casey. Rambo.
Seriously
You've got the edge. There's more of this to be had.
-She's going to college next year? -Yep.
-You're gonna lose her. -That gives me a year to find her.
Mr. Mills
-How are you feeling? -Better.
So your daughter wants to be a singer?
Yep
lt's not what everyone thinks it is.
Once the glam wears off
lt's what she wants.
The first number is Gio
lf he says she can sing
He'll give her coaching she needs
The second number is my manager.
lf Gio clears her
-Thank you. -No
-There she is. -Dad.
-Hi
-Hi. -Hi.
Don't look so excited.
l was just surprised. l thought it was just gonna be Kim and l.
l asked Mom to come.
One raspberry-banana milkshake
-Thanks. -Lennie-- Lenore.
-Would you like something? -l'm fine
So?
So
-You know my friend Amanda? -Yep.
Her cousins asked us to spend vacation with them in Paris.
How cool is that?
-Why do you want to go to Paris? -Dad. Hello?
The Louvre
l didn't know you were so into art.
Are you kidding? l've been to the MOMA
Amanda went last summer
And because you're under 18...
...you need my permission to leave the country?
Dad
They've got this sick apartment overlooking the river.
-Just you and Amanda? -And her cousins.
Don't make a big deal out of this
-What? -l'm not comfortable with this.
-Dad. -l know the world
-Dad
-l'm not gonna be alone. -Two 17-year-olds.
Amanda's 19.
How about this? How about if l go along?
You won't know l'm there. l'm very good at being invisible.
As you so amply demonstrated for most of her life.
Just sign the paper
l'll think about it.
Everyone at this table knows what that means.
Hey
-l don't want anything else. -Kim.
-l don't get you. -What?
You sacrificed our marriage in the service of the country.
You made a mess of your life in service of your country.
Can't you sacrifice a little this time for your daughter?
-l would sacrifice anything for her. -What's your problem?
l'm not comfortable putting my daughter at risk.
Putting our daughter at risk by going to Paris?
You're pathetic.
-She's coming. -Thanks.
Three conditions.
The address and phone number of where you're staying.
You move
Call me when you land. Call me every night before you go to sleep.
lt's international. My number is in.
-Okay
-l am. -What did l say?
You said call you when l land
...your phone's international
Okay
Okay.
-There you go. -Yes.
Thank you
Mom!
l love you
Mom
Wouldn't it have been easier to sign the first time?
Wouldn't it have been easier if you and l had talked about it first?
Certain areas in Paris you should avoid. l've written them down.
-Dad. -Come on
We're gonna be spending 90 percent of our time in museums. Don't worry.
That's like telling water not to be wet
Mom says your job made you paranoid.
Well
l used to ask Mom what your job was that you were away all the time.
And she would tell me to ask you.
Whenever l did see you
Yeah? Why?
l don't know. Maybe because...
...l was afraid to find out.
Like
l worked for the government. You knew that.
So you were like a spy
-What happens if l push this button? -Don't touch that button.
Well
-A preventer? -Yeah.
What did you prevent?
Bad things from happening.
So it was a good job?
Yes. Yep
Do you miss it?
l missed you more.
-Kim! -Dad
Go ahead. l'll get the bags.
-Jimmy'll give you a hand with those. -l can manage.
Lenore.
Do you know about this? She's not just going to Paris.
-l know. -She lied to me.
Yes
Why? What are you talking about?
Your rules and conditions.
What is this?
lt's U2's European tour dates.
She's following a rock band around Europe?
All kids do. Stuart got her tickets
Best hotels. You know
...behind your wall
No idea what the world is like.
Yes
Don't tell me l don't know the world.
For five years l waited for a phone call that didn't come for weeks at a time.
For a knock on the door telling me there'd be no calls anymore.
Listen
But you're not gonna do that by smothering her.
Let her live
Girls.
Kim!
l love you.
Let's go. Come on.
l'll teach you the French words l know.
-Which may not be that much
Three. Okay
Need some help? One with the two of you?
Yes
-Okay. -He's really cute.
Okay. Yeah
Where are you from?
California.
No. l'm Peter.
-This is Kim. -Hi.
-Nice to meet you. -Hi.
Hey.
You're going into Paris?
You know
Want to share?
-Yeah. Sure. -Okay
Thanks.
To check arrivals

...at 8 a.m. local time.
Yeah.
Oh
-Oh
Oh

How cool is that?
-l didn't know that. -lt's no biggie.
Well
-Nice to meet you. -Oh
-You too. -Bye.

Bye.
Yeah.
Fifth floor.
Two girls around 18.
Oh
-How sick is this? -Are you kidding me? lt's great.
l just wish you would've told me they weren't gonna be here.
-What's the difference? -l told my dad they'd be here.
You told your dad you were going to museums too.
Oh
-l'm gonna sleep with him. -Who?
-Peter. -You just met him.
l hear French guys are amazing in bed.
-Maybe he has a friend
-No. -Oh
You gotta lose it sometime. Might as well be in Paris.
Hey!
-Amanda
l have to pee!
-Hello? -lt's me. Has Kim called you?
Bryan
She'll call. Take a sleeping pill.
Have a drink or something. Good night.
Good night.
Hi
Kim.
What did l say? You were supposed to call me.
l'm sorry.
I thought something was wrong with the phone.
-No. lt was such a rush at the airport. -All right.
Well
...I would've just called there.
What's the number?
-I don't have it. -Kimmy
This is one of the conditions. Let me talk to the cousins.
I'll get it from them.
Dad
To Spain?
Kim
Kimmy.
-There's someone here. -The cousins are back?
No.
-Oh
What are you talking about? Kimmy?
-Dad. -Kim.
-Dad. They took her.
-They took her. -All right
Oh
-Did you meet anyone on the plane? -No.
-ln the airport? -No. Yes
-Peter? Peter who? -I don't know.
-An American? -No.
Did he know where you were staying?
He took a cab with us.
Dad
-Please
Stay focused
How many people are there?
-Three
-l'm in the bathroom. -Go to the next bedroom.
Get under the bed. Tell me when you're there.
-l'm here. -Now
They are going to take you. Kim
You will have five
Leave the phone on the floor. Concentrate.
Shout out everything you see about them. Hair color
Anything you see. You understand?
They're there. l can hear them.
Remember
Put the phone closer so l can hear.
They're leaving. l think they're--
Beard. Six feet. Tattoo right hand
l don't know who you are.
l don't know what you want.
lf you are looking for a ransom
But what l do have are a very particular set of skills.
Skills l've acquired over a very long career.
Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.
lf you let my daughter go now
l will not look for you. l will not pursue you.
But if you don't
l will find you...
...and l will kill you.
Good luck.
Sam
l'm gonna download something. l need it analyzed. Right now.
-She's been taken. -What?
-Any enemies overseas? -Why would l 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? -l was not gonna let my daughter...
...live with someone without knowing everything about them.
-l have a few resources-- -Now is not the time for dick measuring.
-Anyone looking to hurt you? -Not that l know.
-Which room's Kim's? -What happened?
l got a call from her. There were people in the apartment. She was taken.
-Oh
That one.
ls there something l should be doing?
You have a lease agreement with NetJet through your company.
l do.
-Get me a plane to Paris. -For when?
An hour ago.
-l'm gonna make the call. You all right? -Yeah
Would you please get her back to me
First l have to find her.
Sam
They're speaking Albanian.
Based on their accents and dialects
The place is ground zero for scummers.
Even the Russians give these guys a wide berth.
The one you spoke to
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
-Am I on speaker or are you by yourself? -Lenore is here.
-Hey
She needs to hear it
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
Once smuggled in
Lately
...just to kidnap traveling young women. Saves on transportation costs.
Oh
What else?
Based on the way these groups operate
...you have a 96-hour window from the time she was grabbed.
-To what? -To never finding her.
No
Daddy!
Mustache. Six feet. Tattoo on right hand
Da--
Good luck.
Oh
Dad
Oh
Dad
They took her.
Go to the next bedroom. Get under the bed.
-Tell me when you're there. -I'm here.
Stay focused
Concentrate. Shout out everything you see about them.
Hair color
They're there. I can hear them. Remember
They're leaving. Daddy!
Dad!
Beard. Six feet. Tattoo right hand
Dad!
-Hi. -Hi.
-l'm Peter. -l'm lngrid.
-On holidays? -Yes.
-Me too. -Cool.
Cabs here are so damned expensive. Want to share?
-Sure. Why not? -Great.
-Excuse me. -Hey.
-Drive.
-The two American girls from yesterday? -l don't know.
The next rib drives into your lungs. The two American girls
-Just like the old days. -Would you have it any other way?
Between you and me? No.
But now that l sit behind a desk
-You mean
Okay
lt 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? -l'm retired
And l assume you don't want to go to the police.
l was told l have 96 hours. That was 16 hours ago.
-Okay
You found him that way?
Bryan
l'll tear down the Eiffel Tower if l have to.
-Don't forget who you talk to. -l'm talking to a friend.
You are. But please remember
''Deputy director
The Albanians?
They showed up from the East
Fifteen
We don't even know how many. And dangerous.
So l heard. Where do l find them?
The best place to start is Porte de Clichy. Bryan
-Gregor Milocivic? -Yes. Yes
l'm Mr. Smith. Get in.
Here is my résumé.
The employment agency said we would be doing translations.
Yes. Albanian to English. You do speak Albanian?
Albanian
-...before the war began in Pristina-- -What's your rate?
My rate?
lt is 25 per hour for the first three hours and then it goes up--
Okay. Now
Mr. Smith
Right now the job is to wait here.
Good evening.
-Hi. Looking for a date? -l love your dress. ls that silk?
l don't know. You want to know the prices?
Just the way it falls
How it compliments the natural curves of your body.
The rate is 40 euros for the standard.
Standard? Could you be more specific?
Back home
Like kissing
-lf you're not buying
l like to get comfortable before l purchase.
Like this karaoke machine l bought.
l must have read that manual from cover to cover so many times.
l don't give a shit. You're gonna get me in trouble if you don't buy.
-Trouble? Really? With who? -Piss off.
Okay
lf l want a package deal
-You cost me two now. -My name's Bryan.
-Oh
Anton
-l told him-- -Why are you bothering the girl?
-None of your business. -She is my business.
And if you're not spending money
-l was negotiating. -No negotiating. Price is the price.
Now you owe me for two that got away.
l don't owe you nothing.
-Fifty euros or l kick your ass. -Sure
Chill.
Okay. Here's your 50.
And another 50 for being an asshole. Now get the hell out of here.
lf l see you again
Mr. Smith
-You are to translate. -Yes. But translate what?
This.
Translate.
-They're talking about you. -What about me?
-They're not saying nice things. -Be specific.
They're saying-- Excuse me
Please
Just translate.
One of them says
Keep going.
The other one is suggesting something his grandmother used to give him.
-Do you really want to hear all this? -Every word.
Now they're talking about football. The game between Lazio and Marseille.
And they lost money on the betting.
-Perhaps if l knew the purpose-- -You're better off not knowing.
ls it still football?
One is on the phone.
He has to do a job at the construction site.
Something about fresh merchandise giving problems.
Mr. Smith
You're not supposed to. Goodbye.
l asked for an English-Albanian dictionary
Thank you.
l love you.
Where did you get this?
-l'm good. -Who gave this to you?
-Who--? Who gave this to you? -l'm good.
Hey.
Come on.
Monsieur Allen
Hello
Well
-Been a long time since l've seen you. -Way too long.
-The usual accommodation? -Plus one.
Yes?
-We need to talk. -l'm listening.
Well
l can't see you. Where are you?
l can see you and hear you very well.
You can tell them to stop jogging now.
Didn't think l was gonna come down
l didn't think you were gonna make such a mess.
l didn't have time to worry about neatness.
-I know. You have 70 hours. -Now l have 56.
No
My chief wanted to arrest you
Air France 001 leaves today at 2. First class.
Courtesy of the French government for past services rendered.
-And what about my daughter? -l told you
I take my orders from someone who sits behind a bigger desk.
Come on
Total chaos at the airport.
He wanted your ass in chains. lt's the best l could do
Sorry doesn't cut it
You can't beat the state
l'm not trying to. l'm trying to save my daughter.
lt was a trailer
No
lt's all right
And medication to counteract the drugs.
lt's all right.
Where'd you get this?
Where did you get this jacket?
Did you get it from her?
Was it from this girl?
l didn't steal it.
-l was cold
-ln the house. -What house?
The house with the red door.
Sorry.
He said it was a party.
The girl who gave you this
She was nice.
l know.
She's my daughter.
l need to find this house. Do you know where it is?
Paradise.
-Good morning. -May l help you?
-l'm here to see your boss. -No boss.
We're doing nothing wrong here.
One button
...before you have time to scratch your balls.
Stop jerking around before l close you down for wasting my time.
Wait here.
You have weapon?
You're holding it.
Black
What is it you want?
l'm here to negotiate the rates.
We already negotiated the rate with Mr. Macon.
Mr. Macon has moved to another division.
l'm here for the renegotiation.
Unless you think l'm being unreasonable
Nice coffee. We have you under satellite surveillance
We hear everything you say
Do you have any idea what it costs just to change the angle...
...of the lens on a satellite orbiting 200 miles above the Earth?
And those costs have gone up.
Our costs go up
By the way
Why do you want to know?
l was told Marko is in charge.
We are all Marko.
Marko from Tropoja.
We are all from Tropoja.
lf that's the game you want to play
lf you are trying to extort us because we are immigrants
l'm extorting you because you are breaking the law.
Which charge would you like to be arrested for?
Drugs
You come to this country
...and think because we are tolerant
Your arrogance offends me.
For that
Now
-How much? -Twenty percent.
And you have my word it'll not go up for a year.
How do you say ''sugar'' in your language?
You've made a very good investment
See you in a month.
A friend gave this to me. lt's Albanian. You mind translating it?
Good luck.
-Good luck. -Good luck.
-Good luck. Good luck. -Good luck.
You don't remember me.
We spoke on the phone two days ago.
l told you l would find you.
Kim.
Amanda.
Wake up!
l need you to be focused.
Are you focused yet?
Where is this girl?
Where is she?
You know
But what we found was the countries we outsourced to...
...had unreliable power grids. Very Third World.
You'd turn on a switch
...and then tempers would get short. People would resort to pulling fingernails.
Acid drips on bare skin.
The whole exercise would become counterproductive.
But here
Here
Where is she?
Now
Give me what l need or this switch'll stay on...
...till they turn power off for lack of payment on the bill.
Where is my daughter?
We don't keep virgins
She was virgin
You sold my daughter? You sold her?
To who?
l don't know.
-What? -Saint-Clair.
Saint-Clair.
Saint-Clair? Saint-Clair. ls that a person
Person. Patrice Saint-Clair.
Patrice Saint-Clair.
Where can l find him?
l don't know
l don't know. l don't know. l don't know.
Please! l don't know!
l don't know! No! Please! Please.
Please.
Not that. Please.
l believe you.
But it's not gonna save you.
Look who dropped by.
Bryan
Jean-Claude.
The children waited up for you.
lf you tuck them in
Bryan
-Sure. -l'll be just a minute.
l was just telling Bryan how nice it's been...
...since you left the old job for the new one.
Home every night for dinner
Yeah
Bryan has been thinking about relocating.
-Really? -Yes.
To Paris
-White or dark meat? -Dark
Find anything interesting?
As a matter of fact
People there know someone that works in your office.
A Mr. Macon. Do you know him?
Oh
Always seems like he's about to have a problem. Carrots?
l got to the bottom of it
l know everything.
l hope you're not involved in this shit.
-What shit? -This is not the time or place
-Are you involved? -lnvolved in what?
What are you two talking about?
-Are you? -My salary is X
As long as my family is provided for...
...l do not care where the difference comes from.
That is my entire involvement.
-What about my family? -l told you...
...l would help as long as it didn't cause trouble.
Who is Patrice Saint-Clair?
l don't know
Jean-Claude.
Let's get going. Dinner is over.
-l'm not finished yet. -Yes
-No! -No
That's what happens when you sit behind a desk. You forget things.
Like the weight in the hand of a gun that's loaded.
lsabelle!
lt's a flesh wound.
But if you don't get me what l need
...is the bullet l put between her eyes.
Now
You could've made this less painful...
...if you had been more concerned about my daughter and less about your desk.
Please apologize to your wife for me.
-Can l help you? -Yes
Your name
l'm sorry
Oh
lnside.
