Stolen Girl

Hey, sweetie. Come here right now.

- So fancy for breakfast. - Amina, breakfast!

Grandpa!

- Hey. Morning, dad. - ...the rain...

Let me be your whiskey. Kill the pain.

Thank you.

- Oh, be careful. - Yeah, yeah.

Oh, you reunited with your best friend.

Oh... If she sets her mind in something... Reminds me someone I know.

I don't know who that is.

Adorable.

Mina, do you want orange juice?

Daddy!

- I thought he was coming tomorrow. - What date is it?

Jesus, it's the 23rd.

Shit!

So, I conveniently forgot, sue me.

You can't stop her seeing her father.

- You're taking his side now? - It's not about sides.

Your daughter deserves to know her daddy.

You know you loved each other once.

Yeah, I wasn't the one who ruined it.

He was working late hours, doing God knows what with who.

I know.

Come here right now.

There's daddy. Okay, all right.

Daddy!

Hello, puppy.

10:00 am, as promised.

- I'll bring her back at 6:00. - Okay. Bye, baby.

Are you okay? You seem a little distracted.

Uhm... Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just work stuff.

I'm good.

Okay.

Watch your hands, Amina.

Hey, what you got there?

What's this?

Should we have a story? You want a story? Yeah.

Riky and Raky's adventure began at the zoo.

Dinosaurs live in the zoo!

- In our story, they do. - Yes!

- Do you like your new costume? - Yes, Mama!

Yes!

Now, what are we missing?

Drugs! For papa, of course.

- That's not what we pay. - But it is what your father's medication costs.

That may be. But I've never paid that before. I have all the records here.

Today's special discount,...

...customers can get 20% off, please take your coupon to the checkout.

- Can I just see the manager? - - I am the manager, Ma'am.

What happened to Frank?

He retired last week. Moved to Boca with his family.

- Just give me a minute. - Yeah.

Oh! Okay, I think I see what's going on.

You are right. We just update some details.

I'm so sorry about that, Ma'am.

- You can go and pay at the cashier up front. - Thank you.

Mina?

Amina?

Mina?

Amina?!

MINA!

Has anyone seen my daughter? She's dressed as a dinosaur...

Ma'am, I need you to step outside the store...

Have you seen her? Is she here? Fuck!

Mina! Have you seen a little girl? She's only four! Please, God, please, help me!

Oh, my God! Please!

Did you find them? Where are they?

-Give them a chance. -What's going on?

We're doing everything we can to find Amina.

I know Karim took her.

I know he did. He was acting real fucking weird yesterday.

And then Mina told me he was talking about me to someone on the phone.

- He's threatened it before. - He has.

If that's the case, we're struggling to understand...

...why Karim didn't just keep Amina on one of his visits.

How am I supposed to know that?

Can you think of anything you may have done?

- Something I may have done? - Goddamn' it. This ain't her fault.

I didn't mean that.

She didn't do anything to cause this. What the fuck is wrong with you?

I think he's gonna take her home.

Home?

- Syria. - Syria.

He used to talk about it all the time.

Getting a job at a hospital near his family.

We got divorced, he tried to do it then,

I had to get a restraining order, to stop him taking her out of the country.

You need to check all the airports.

What? What is it?

There isn't a federal law that prevents a parent taking their child...

It's kidnapping. He's kidnapped her.

...their own child internationally.

If that's the case, I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do.

You've gotta be kidding? He can just... He can just take her?

So I just... I just... I lose my daughter?

We're following all the procedures,...

...we have roadblocks in places...

What other possibilities? What?

You mean like a child-snatcher?

Yes, could you tell me which Ohio airport I'd need for a flight to Syria?

- Hold, please. - - Ah-ah.

You can't hide from me. I see you.

- Ah! - There she is!

Flights to Syria depart from Port Columbus via Amsterdam

and rage from $750 to $1000.

Okay, thank you.

We went to Karim's house. I'm afraid it was cleared out.

There were just a few things left.

Did you check Port Columbus airport?

We found his car in long-term storage.

We're checking flight lists, but we now suspect he has left the country.

Karim Saleh Taleb.

She doesn't have any contacts for his family.

- Radiology. - Sorry, I don't understand.

He said his father lived in Riyadh,

in Saudi Arabia, but there's no record of him being there.

Look, she never went there and they never came here!

Sorry, I don't have anyone by that name.

- Okay. - I don't know.

You're the lawyer, don't you have an investigator or something?

I don't like your attitude either, pal!

Oh, God...

When Karim took Amina overseas, it wasn't a crime, if you can believe that.

I've been without my baby girl for...

...over two years.

And every day I don't get to see her...

it hurts like a bullet.

Thanks to your incredible generosity,...

...I'm gonna get to go to Washington.

And I'm gonna knock on every door and talk to every suit.

And do everything I can to find my baby.

I won't rest until I bring her home, where she belongs.

My mum left me when I was little, I am not walking away from my own.

- I'm afraid to leave you. - No, stop right there.

You stick to your guns. Just like I taught you. Yeah.

- I love you. - I love you.

Take it.

State your intent.

Petition for a Senate resolution.

And the support of your governor, then bring it back.

You can't block the door, Ma'am.

Excuse me, I can stand here, it's my First Amendment right!

An appointment will be sent to you within the next six months.

Six months? I think I'll wait.

Ma'am...

Do you speak English? I can't read the signature on my x-ray.

The majority of kidnappings in this country are committed by parents.

I think it says Karim Taleb.

Last year, over 25 thousand children

were abducted by parents and nothing is being done!

There's no position here by that name.

Okay. Thanks anyway.

Mara Danning has returned to Washington to action a hunger strike...

...with the parent's protest group she formed...

...in the wake of the disappearance of her daughter, four years ago.

Mind if I sit?

- Can I help you with something? - No.

But I might be able to help you.

Look, cowboy, I just want to be alone, okay?

I'm in the child recovery business.

You did this?

Is it legal?

As legal as abduction.

I'm broke, so...

I know.

Keep that.

I have a proposition for you.

Come work for me.

You help me find other people's kids.

I'll help you find yours.

You know, it pays pretty good too.

Call me.

Mara, this is Carl. Heads up linguistics, pretty much anything I can't do.

He's my second-in-command.

- I'm your only-in-command... - Right.

- Nice to meet you. - Glad you called.

It's not a yes.

Okay.

It's for you.

Hey. This is a good thing.

I have contacts all over the Middle East. We'll find her. In time.

I haven't seen my daughter in four years, 86 days, four hours...

- How long has it been since you've eaten? - - Nine days.

Here.

I can't.

We're your best option, Mara.

You alright?

Here.

I don't understand why you want me. I trained as a seamstress.

Well, if I can be completely honest...

...we need a woman in our team.

You rouse less suspicion in this line of work.

And you're tough.

That should get you started.

Enough to help with your dad's treatments.

Are you ready for your first case? Come with me.

This... This is Maya.

That's her son, JD.

Barely sees the father until one day he decides: "You know what? I want my kid back".
