- No.

What's going on? Are you hurt?

What did you do? You set me up?

- Did I set you up?

- Did you set me up?

- Marty, what are you talking about?

- They took Laurie and Josh off the boat.

Who did?

I can't help you

if you don't talk to me, Marty.

Who took Laurie? Who did?

The guys we took the briefcase from.

They want it back.

- Sh*t.

- Who are they, Jean?

They gave me 24 hours,

or they're going to kill them.

Where's the briefcase?

The briefcase went straight up the line.

It's gone.

Carrack, don't f*** with me right now.

- No?

- I'll try.

- No, that's it?

- I'll try.

- Okay, then I'm gonna go.

- Marty, I want to help you.

It went straight up the line.

I don't have it anymore.

You need to fix this.

I'll do my best, Marty.

Dad?

God.

God.

Deal with the body.

- Hello?

- What's the status?

- Someone's trying to kill me.

- Put Tom on the phone.

- Someone shot my father.

- Tell Tom he has less than 21 hours.

Who's Tom? Who the hell are you?

The guy who has your family.

Where do you have...

Hey! Hey, hey! No!

There's a guy who's trying to kill me!

Hold on, this guy's going to kill me!

There's a guy trying to kill me!

Damn it!

Okay, I...

I'm American!

Can you help me?

There's no evidence of a Martin Shaw

with any of our agencies in Spain.

He told us he was a cultural attache.

I thought you said that he wasn't.

My father is dead. Executed. Assassinated.

Mr. Shaw, there's a local warrant

for your arrest.

- It claims you killed a police officer.

- Wait, hold it, hold it. No. No.

Look, the guy who shot my father

was shooting at me halfway across the city.

We can assist you in securing legal counsel

and protecting your rights

as an American citizen.

Look, I did not kill that cop.

But you know what?

We don't have time for this.

My family doesn't have the time.

Will you please help me? Please?

I suggest you accept our help

getting you legal counsel.

- Is there someone else I can talk to?

- Just calm down.

All anyone ever says

to me is calm down.

Tranquilo, tranquilo.

My family has been kidnapped,

and I am wanted for a murder

I did not commit.

Yes?

Yes, ma'am.

Right now, in fact.

Someone needs to talk to you.

Come with us, Mr. Shaw.

Will? It's Jean.

Jean Carrack.

I worked with your father.

You know, I bet if you raise your left hand,

I will see a big white scar

running right across your palm.

You got that making me a martini

when you were 10.

- Don't you remember?

- Hey, yeah. I remember you.

Look, your father has left your family

in a tough spot.

I'd like to help.

Why don't you get in the car

and we'll figure this out?

Okay, if you didn't kill him, who did?
