I would be valu-

yes, sir.

Who was that, Washington?

They're calling you back?

Yeah.

Fraser here.

Good morning, Brian.

Mr. president.

You know I'm gonna take a

lot of heat for allowing

the Canadians to do their investigation.

Yes, I understand.

The ambassador is American, so the

Americans believe that we should handle it.

Yes, and we will accommodate your people

as observers,

sir. Yes, sir.

You know, Brian, the grandmother of this

little girl is a pain in the ass.

Understood, sir, yes.

Any minute now she's gonna be calling you.

Yes, yes, sir.

You know, Brian, we've

been friends a long time.

Yes, sir.

I've got 100% faith in you.

I got my best guys on it, yes, sir.

Brian, best of luck.

Thank you, sir.

Very good, sir.

If you need anything, please call me.

Okay, god bless.

Thank you.

Have I done something to offend you,

officer?

I'm just asking.

Did you not have any indiscretions?

Has your name not been in the paper?

I'm not picking on you,

I'm trying to get some background.

The next 24 hours are going to be extremely

vital to her existence,

and we want to find her,

so I need to understand

if somebody's paying you back.

To the best of my knowledge

there is no payback involved.

Well, it's too early to tell.

Did you take care of that tap?

Yeah.

So your phones are tapped.

Your cell phones are both

tapped and we did this

for the protection of the little girl

in case somebody calls or

somebody makes some sort of demand.

Excuse me.

Do you mind if we interview your assistant?

I have no problem with that at all.

Why do you want to do that?

How is it relevant?

I just want to interview her.

Is that okay?

Okay, interview her.

Anyways, thank you.

Thank you so much for your time.

I appreciate it.

If we hear anything you'll hear from us.

Thank you.

Thank you.

How long you known that girl?

Over three years now.

You with her every day?

Every day.

You were the babysitter.

You're not going anywhere.

I'm gonna take care of it.

I need you here..

And you need this.

Alright, you bring her in.

I gotta make a few phone calls.

I want to... for

both our benefit...

let's get a report on

what phone calls come in.

And you know what I want to know?

I want to know the phone calls that

they got yesterday and the day before.

Now that he knows they're tapped,

which phone calls stopped?

Got it.

That's important to me, please, Robert?

Thanks.

Thank you for being here.

My pleasure.

How long have you worked for the ambassador?
