Taken

- Asha Flynn. 29 years old.

Junior associate at an environmental law firm

here in D.C.

Only child of Marcus and Esme Flynn.

- And, apparently, reading between the lines

on the emails we got from her personal computer,

now in a relationship with Bryan.

- Police believe she was taken about 6:30 last night

in this Van caught here by an external security camera,

part of a recently installed state-of-the-art alarm system.

Still no word from Bryan.

Radio silence.

- All he's gonna care about now is getting her back.

So we have to stop him.

For his own good.

- there's some people say I should go

on one of them singing shows.

- You should. - Maybe I will.

Who knows?

What about you? Any hidden talents?

I can cook.

- if you don't mind me asking, you in some kind of trouble?

someone took my girlfriend.

To Texas?

Maybe.

- Oh, this is one of my favorites.

Hey.

I hope you find her.

I will.

two minutes.

Talk to you boyfriend.

We need to keep him motivated.

help me, Bryan.

Asha...

Help me, Bryan.

- I know that he's there with you.

I know that Mejia can hear me.

I need you to listen very carefully.

I am coming.

I will find you,

I will find him,

and there is nothing he

or anyone else can do to stop me now.

Nothing.

- What'll it be? - Looking for Mick Lester.

- He ain't here. - I heard he hangs out back.

You heard wrong.

I heard right.

You wanna know how I know that?

'Cause Carlos Mejia told me.

Carlos Mejia told you what?

Put that thing down. - Have a seat.

You make him a boatload of cash moving his product.

What do you want?

- Who would he contact to get over the border into Mexico?

- He has people. - Who he's not gonna go to

because he gave them all up.

- You saying he's a rat? Then he's a dead man.

- Not if he gets across the border.

He runs all of his southwestern shipment through you.

So who else does he know down here in Texas?

- This image is from an FBI surveillance camera

almost an hour ago.

What's he doing in Texas?

- He's trying to stop Mejia from crossing the border.

You sent him down there?

We've been watching that place

ever since Mejia gave up Lester last month.

Rein him in before he ruins any more of our operations.

What's the priority here?

Finding Mejia and the hostage

or busting some mid-level dealer?

Not the point.

- Our interests are the same as yours.

If Bryan can bring us any closer to Mejia...

- he's a loose canon and he's done,

so tie him down before I do.

You people are finished with Mejia.

This is an FBI operation now.

- That's not your decision to make.

It's a direct order.

From the white house.

- he runs all of his southwestern shipment

through you.

So who else does he know down here in Texas?

Friends? Relatives?

His ex-wife.

But she doesn't...

Alicia Mejia?

She's dead.

Isn't she?

Come on, man, give me a break.

You said they're watching me.

Roll it back.

His ex-wife.

But she doesn't... - Alicia Mejia?

She's dead. Isn't she?

- Mejia's wife is alive. The guy just admitted as much.

- That's impossible. She killed herself

after Bryan shot their son. We have it all on file.

El Paso pd autopsy report, huge funeral.

- Totally credible narrative with no questions asked.

- Just another casualty of the war on drugs.

Smart. Simple.

Bryan's on his way to El Paso.

He's gotta be. Where is he now?

- Angleton, Texas. - How far to El Paso?

- It's about a five-hour drive. - Standby with the jet.

Find the wife.

Mr. mills?

You killed my son, Mr. mills.

Yes, I did.

- What can you possibly have to say to me?

- Your husband... - Ex-husband.

I know what he is.

Who he is.

- And just how long did it take you to see that?

What do you want?

Your husband is on the run.

He's trying to get across to Mexico,

but his network's broken.

He can no longer trust his own people.

- And you think I still want to help him?

- I think you might not have a choice.

What can he do to me?

- Without you, these children have no hope.

Hmm, I see.

You are the lesser of two evil. Is that it?

- If you can smuggle children across the border,

then you can send him back the same way.

Does he know how you do it?

You want me to help you?

The man who murdered my son?

Because he has a hostage.

And she is innocent.

Like the children.

I'll pray for her.

- If praying were the answer, you would be doing what you do.

you have to understand.

This country is the only chance these children have for a life.

Found him.

- Damn it. - Bryan.

Bryan, this is an FBI operation now.

We need to go home.

- Home? I'm not going home.

- I'm not gonna sanction a suicide mission.

You going down there on your own is not gonna save Asha Flynn,

and it's not gonna be an end to Mejia.

It's just going to be the loss of one good man for nothing.

And no one here is going to standby and let that happen.

Like it or not, you are too important to us all now

and to what we do,

and I'm not going to debate this with you.

Come on.

Come on, the car is out front.

Damn it, Bryan.

- I'll run and try to cut him off.

- what the hell? You okay?

You just ran in front of my car. - Sorry, man.

- hey. Hey!

You son of a...

- What do you think he will do now?

Your Bryan mills?

Hmm?

I'll tell you what he's going to do.

He's going to play directly into my hands

in Mexico where I have the advantage

because I control everybody

from the army to the police.

He will come for you.

Let him come.

Please.

Please.

Esta bien.

- Hola. - Hola.

Señor.

Muy bien?

Bueno.

Go ahead. Do it.

Pull the trigger.

Then what?

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Come on.

Come on.

No.

No.

go!

Go!

Put your weapons down.

you stay behind.

Make sure nobody else comes through.

Okay.

Welcome to Mexico.

Hey, hey, hey.

We come in peace.

- I'm not going back. - Who's that?

We never met.

Did you hear what I just said about going back?

- Yeah. Funny.

- Easy now. - I can't.
