A Reminder of Past Conversations
Bryan You've made a very good investment, Gentlemen. See you in a month... Oh... A friend gave this to me. It's Albanian. Would you mind translating it for me?
[takes a slip of paper out, as if remembering it, and handing it to Marko]
Marko Good luck".
Bryan You don't remember me? We spoke on the phone two days ago. I told you I would find you.
[Marko looks at him in surprise]
Nostalgia vs. Reality in Changing Roles
Jean Claude Just like the old days.
Bryan Would you have it any other way?
Jean Claude Between you and me, no. But now that I sit behind a desk, the world looks different.
Bryan You mean it looks boring.
Jean Claude I mean different. Okay, a little boring. But is being retired any more interesting?
Bryan It wasn't until my daughter disappeared in Paris yesterday. She and her friend were marked by a spotter at the airport. Albanians took her.
Jean Claude How do you know this?
Bryan I'm retired, not dead.
Jean Claude And I assume you don't want to go to the police.
Bryan I was told I have 96 hours. That was sixteen hours ago.
Jean Claude Okay, first we should find the spotter.
Bryan I found him. He's dead.
Jean Claude You found him that way?
Jean Claude Bryan, you cannot just run around, tearing down Paris.
Bryan Jean Claude, I will tear down the Eiffel Tower if I have to.

Identifying Criminal Ties and Connections
Bryan Sam, what've you got?
Sam They're speaking Albanian; based on their accents and dialects, they must be from a town called Tropojë. Place is ground zero for scummers like this. Even the Russians give these guys a wide berth. Um, the one you spoke to, his name is Marko, and 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, he's a big fish. And, uh, the tattoo, by the way is group ID. Am I on speaker or are you by yourself?
[over phone]
Bryan Lenore's here.
Sam Hey, Lennie.
Lenore Hello, Sam.
Bryan She needs to hear this, Sam.
Sam The specialty of the groups coming out of this area is trafficking in women.
Bryan Keep going.
Bryan To what?
Sam To never finding her.
Unraveling Connections in a Complex Situation
Jean-Claude Find anything interesting?
Bryan As a matter of fact, I did. Over in the 10th Arrondissement on Rue Paradis. People there know someone who works in your office, I think. A Mr. Macon. Do you know him?
Isabelle Oh, Henri! I call him Mr. Nervous. Always seems like he's about to have a problem. Carrots?
Bryan I got to the bottom of it, Jean Claude. I know everything. I hope you're not involved in this shit?
[not answering her]
Isabelle What shit?
[horrified]
Jean-Claude This is not the time or place, Bryan.
Bryan Are you involved?
Isabelle Involved in what? What are you two talking about?
Bryan Are you?
Jean-Claude My salary is X. My expenses are Y. As long as my family is provided for, I do not care where the difference comes from. That is my entire involvement!
[Angrily]
Bryan And what about my family?
Jean-Claude I told you, I would help, as long as it didn't cause trouble for me.
Bryan Who is Patrice Saint-Clair?
Jean-Claude I don't know, I don't care. I'm driving you to the airport.
Isabelle Jean-Claude!
Jean-Claude Tais-toi, Isabelle. Tais-toi! Let's get going. Dinner is over.
[Shut up!]
Bryan I'm not finished yet.
Jean-Claude Yes you are!
Isabelle No!
Bryan No, I'm not.
[rises]
Bryan 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 and one that's not!
Jean-Claude ISABELLE! SALE CON!
[Bryan points the gun at him; You "asshole"!]
Bryan It's a flesh wound! But if you don't get me what I need, the last thing you'll see before I make your children orphans is the bullet I put between her eyes. Now... Patrice Saint-Clair!
[aims the gun at Isabelle]
Bryan You could have made this much less painful if you had been more concerned about my daughter, and less concerned about your goddamned desk. Please apologize to your wife for me.
