then why'd you leave?

Bonjour, Walter.

Bonjour!

Walter?

Dad?

Are we on the right floor?

Come here!

Who are you calling?

Our office number here.

Sh*t.

What's going on?

Some kind of misunderstanding.

Come on.

Dad, your company can't

just pick up and leave.

Okay, if you were a company,

where would you hide?

Don't start.

We're going to Brussels.

What?

An hour to get there,

an hour to clear this up,

we'll be back by lunch.

Dad, I have school.

You just got the day off.

The Halgate group:

A world-wide enterprise bringing the latest

technological advances to shipping,

construction and engineering.

Bonjour.

- Bonjour.

I'm here to see Derek Kohler, please.

- One moment, please.

Thank you.

No pictures, young lady.

Sorry.

The database is not showing

a Derek Kohler, sir.

That's impossible.

- Is there another name you want me to try?

Yes, please try again.

It's K-O-L-H-E-R.

Excuse me!

- It's very important, please, just...

I know he's in the database.

- Excuse me!

Try it again, will you?

Security!

I don't know how to say this, Mr. Logan.

But you do not, nor have you ever worked

for a subsidiary of this company.

We don't even make this kind

of security systems.

And we never employed a...

a Derek Kohler.

Listen to me.

A New York based company called "Placement Solutions"

came to me three months ago,

said they wanted to open a new

division of The Halgate Group in Europe,

as part of their - your -

private security business.

Mr. Logan, you are in the European

headquarters of The Halgate Group.

We handle all our

recruitment direct.

I need your battery.

Mine's dead.

I wanna show you my e-mail.

Thank you.

It's my business correspondence.

It's eight weeks in work.

Your business correspondence?

- That's right.

Your BlackBerry is empty.

We've run a background

check on you, Mr. Logan.

Seems you've been living in

Antwerp now, eight weeks,

as you say.

But your last registered

address was New York,

Before that, Washington D.C. 1989.

Since then,

no records of any kind exist for you.

You've been working for a Halgate

subsidiary which doesn't exist.

Testing products we don't make.

Reporting to an officer

we have never employed.

I've received paychecks from you.

I have received pension,

medical insurance, car insurance.

Mr. Logan...

If you were in my shoes,

listening to your story,

what would you do?

There must be some sort of mistake.

My salary payments, they should be listed here.

I'm afraid that this is all we have,

this is all there is.

There is no activity in your account

since you opened it.

Mr. Logan.

- Floyd!

Am I glad to see you!

- What are you doing here?

The company. Everything is gone!
