Delaine has kidnapped
Eric Beaumont's daughter.

When am I getting out of here?

Evie.

Please don't fear me, Evie.

I just want to help you.

Delaine brainwashed

Victoria Locke
for over a decade.

You are safe, Victoria.

No one's gonna hurt you here.

Damien got inside my head.

Do you know who
your father is? I know he's a good man,

and you're not.

Still Daddy's good little girl.

Eric said
Delaine's a game player.

What if the game isn't over?

He wanted to destroy Eric.

He won't stop trying.

He'll be watching us.

All of us.

Wow. Not so bad?

It is sublime.

Sublime? Wow.

Those, literature courses
are really paying off.

Hey. Mom, Dad.

Okay.

Beautiful.

Thank you
for letting us join you

on your business trip.

You know,
I just have the one meeting.

We could, take
a boat cruise this evening.

Yeah. Yeah? Okay.

Even if we're divorcing,
it's still important

for her to feel we're a family.

Her therapist says
she's making progress.

The anxiety is subsiding.

They say
you choose your parents.

So our daughter's a masochist.

Probably. Yeah.

All right, so this is Semaphore.

Home of the hottest
digital currency.

It's crushing Bitcoin, and it
only had its ICO six months ago.

Aren't digital currencies
all smoke and mirrors?

A lot of folks would argue
that about the U.S. dollar.

So, what's the gig?

Semaphore is interested
in moving into China,

and they need us
to help negotiate a deal.

Someone is pumped about this.

CriRes expanding into new
arenas of negotiation?

You bet I am. And we're meeting with?

Well, up until now,
the founder of Semaphore

has remained anonymous.

So, we don't know who we're
negotiating on behalf of

for a product
that doesn't exist.

It's a great first gig
in this new arena.

I'm going to have
a quick shower,

and then we'll go
and do some exploring.

Okay. Okay?

Welcome. Welcome.

So, this is the famous
Cri/Res team.

These tech titans get
younger and younger.

No, no, no.

I'm like the front man,
the pretty face.

No, he's the creator,

founder and CEO
of Semaphore Digital.

Allow me to introduce...

Damien Delaine? DELAINE: Zara Hallam.

How nice of you to remember.
Hello, Eric.

Zara, lock the door.Eric.

The only way Delaine gets off
this roof is over that ledge.

Go ahead, Ms. Hallam.
Lock the door.

It'll be a pleasure to see Eric
give in to his limbic impulses.

We all know he wants to.

It's got to be some
kind of trap. Don't.

And honestly, Eric, you want
to hear what I have to say.

Really, you do.
So, please. Shall we?

For me? Thank you.

You're the creator of Semaphore?

I am indeed, Mr. Yates.
Call it a lifelong passion.

What's this about, Damien?

Exactly what my people told
Ms. Walker.

I just want
the Chinese government

to adopt my digital currency.

You're gonna make it happen.

We will never negotiate for you.

You misunderstand me, Eric.

I don't want you
to negotiate for me.

I want you to kidnap someone.

And here's why
you're gonna do it for me.

Evie.

Okay, Eric, it won't work.
You won't be able to reach her.

I... I guess, I control her.

Very crudely put,

I've brainwashed her.

But it's so much more
sophisticated than that.

The point is,

if you don't do what I ask,

our little girl
becomes a killer.

Are you ready? Yeah, Mom.

Let's go, then. Let's go.

It's like this... record.

I can't get him out of my head.
It's just there.

He's always there.

Damien Delaine?

Maybe you need to go down
the rabbit hole with him.

Find out where it goes.

We often run from things
that scare us,

but actually
we should confront them...

Who knew

that her therapist
had a little...

drug and debt problem?

I was only too happy
to help out.

Of course, for a little
favor in return.

You remember these
little beauties?

The antidepressants
you thought were helping her?

It's actually scopolamine,
which made her more pliable.

Open yourself up to the fears.

Even if I hurt someone?

People get hurt. We know this.

We can't let that stop us.

People aren't robots.

You can't just make them
mindlessly obey.

Perhaps.

But you remember Jessica Ford
and Victoria Locke?

The things I made them do.

God, look at that view.

Isn't it sublime?

What do you want us
to do, Damien?

Brava, Ms. Hallam.

Is she the only negotiator
in this room?

This is Xiao Wei-Shing,

Governor of the
People's Bank of China.

He's the only thing

that stands in the way
of the Central Bank

making a sizeable purchase of
Semaphore digital currency.

Turns out, he's not

a fan of digital currencies.

Now, normally, I...
I like Luddites.

Love them.

But not when they get
in the way of my plan.

Jaden Chin.

The governor's wife.

You expect us to kidnap her?

Well, it shouldn't be very hard.

I mean, Eric's handled, what,
a-a thousand kidnappings?

He's the world's
foremost expert, yeah?

The governor and Jaden
are in Budapest.

You kidnap the governor's wife,
you threaten to kill her...

unless he authorizes
the purchase

of $100 billion
of Semaphore Digital.

You get him to comply,

I call off your daughter.

And she never
hears from me again,

ever.

We won't play your game.

I can feel him in my head.

It's, like,
these horrible things.

It's like his thoughts
are my thoughts.

I have left a trail of crumbs

for Evie to follow
to her target.

She'll reach said
person in a few hours.

Now, I'm watching.

If you don't bring your A game,

or if you call the police,

I'll just accelerate
the timeline.

You know I'm good to my word.

That's it.

Is everyone on board?

Great. Charles.

You can't brainwash
someone to kill.

Like he said, Victoria Locke,
Jessica Ford, what about them?

It is possible to gain a
profound influence over someone

if you have intimate
access to them.

Which he had,
with Evie's therapist.

W-What did you see
in those video clips?

There's a condition called
learned helplessness.

Tell me.

A person can be made
to feel dependent on someone,

even if they're
dangerous to them.

Sorry, man.
Evie's showing signs.

Eric, you're not
seriously thinking

of kidnapping this woman?

Listen, the one thing we know
for certain about Delaine

Eric, we played

his game last time, and it was
rigged from the start.

This one will be, too.

He's watching.

All right, Zara,

you go after Evie.

She and Nathalie were
going sightseeing.

Maybe we can stop her before
Delaine leaves his next crumb.

Check the hotel room
for any clues.

Thank you.

Cut! That's it!

Jaden Chin, 31.
Up-and-coming film actress.

Married to Xiao Wei-Shing, 44,

two years ago.

He is friends with
the president of China,

part of the inner circle
that controls the country.

And he's visiting his wife
while she's shooting a movie.

That's a devoted husband.

Pardon me. Pardon me, sir.

May I take one of those?
Thank you so much. Yeah.

Here. Follow my lead.

Ms.-Ms. Chin.
Sorry to interrupt.

You speak Chinese?

Embarrassingly little, actually.

I'm sorry, would you,
would you mind?

My daughter's a massive fan, and
I think she'd be awfully cross

if I didn't get an autograph. An English
girl who likes films from China?

She is just mad about them.

Would you,
would you mind terribly?

Of course not.

Perfect. Thank you so much.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Call sheet.

Should have her
advance schedule.

Look, our job is to
save people from kidnappers.

Becoming ones could have
a serious reputational impact.

I'll go for loss of reputation
over the loss of my daughter.

If Zara finds Evie,
I don't have to do this.

If I do, it is a risk
I will take alone.

I don't want
the two of you involved.

No, no, I took this job
knowing full well

what I was getting into.

I'm not cutting and running now.

Zara.

I checked the search history
on Evie's laptop.

She was looking for churches
with catacombs.

Catacombs? What's that about?

Anything else?

I found a sleeve
of sleeping pills

completely emptied out.

There's a thermal bath nearby.

Maybe we should get a massage?

I want to go to
St. Martin's Cathedral.

It's, like, really super old,

and the guide book says its
catacombs are a must-see.

A church over a spa?

What have you done
with Evie Beaumont?

Come on. Catacombs.

Catacombs... or a seaweed wrap?

Mom.

Okay. Catacombs it is.

Well, it's a long walk.

Got to stay hydrated.

Okay.

It's beautiful.

I need to sit down.
Something's wrong.

I don't know.

I just feel weak.

It's okay, Mom. I'm right here.

I can't keep my eyes open.

I'll take care of you.

So, she's got
an appointment with a trainer,

then hits the spa,
followed by a media interview

promoting her new film. No.

What is it?

She's flies out for Beijing
this afternoon.

Okay, so either we do this now
or we don't do it at all.

What?

Ever been on television?

Your mother?

Very good, Evie.

I know it must have been hard,
but it was for the best.

Did I do okay?

You're doing just fine,
just fine...

my little Evie.

What's my next instruction?

Okay. Keep me posted.

Zara's trying to find
the church they went to.

We all set? Yeah, listen.

Eric, if we pull this off,

we could be making Delaine
the richest person, like, ever.

Imagine that psychopath
with that kind of money.

Delaine's never
cared about money.

He's after something
else, something bigger.

Okay, fine. What?

Hi, Ms. Chin.

Hi. Angie Morgan,

I'm sorry, there's been
a last-minute room change

for your interview.

It's right this way, please.

I'm just gonna get you miked up.

Okay. Good.

Thank you.

Ms. Chin, it is such a
thrill to have you here

in lovely Budapest,
I mean, especially with

your new film shooting.

I'm sorry, guys,
you can't be in here.

It just messes with the sound.

But we do have a monitor
right here

where you can watch her,
and there's some water for you.

Okay. Okay, we good?

Rolling.

Okay. So as I understand it,

the sequel to your film
Weeping Lotus Flower

is set to come out next summer.

I mean, you must be so excited.

So much. It has been
such a long time,

and the fans have
been so patient,

so, yeah, I am.

I heard that you worked out

continuously for three
months on this film.

So, have you had an opportunity

to get out in Budapest,
see some of the sights?

The architecture is gorgeous.

Who knew you could rent
your very own safe house?

Only 20 Gs a night.

Nathalie?

Evie?

My God.

Nathalie. Nathalie.

Nathalie. Nathalie.

Okay, come on.

Come on. Let's go.

I got you. Come on, let's go.

Okay, now, let me...
I'll just... I'll do...

Okay. Um...

Jaden? Just...

Just roll with it, okay? Okay.

There you go.

Okay.

Carpet works well in here.

Listen, we are not
gonna harm you.

This will all be over soon.
We're not what you think.

Okay, let's get you up.

Have a seat.

You'll be okay.

Zara found Nathalie.

Evie drugged her.

She drugged her mother? Yeah.
And disappeared.

I'm gonna take the gag off.

No. No.

Not yet. Oliver?

It's okay.

Contact.

Hello?

Xiao Wei-Shing?

Yes.

We have your wife.

Ask for proof of life.

I need proof that she's alive.

Don't you dare hurt her.

What do you want?

I want to see you do
exactly what I say.

I've texted you a location.

Meet me there in one hour.
No police,

or bad things will happen.

Really?

"Bad things will happen"?

I am winging it here.

Listen, Jaden, I'm
going to untie you now.

Please believe me, we are
being forced to do this

to prevent a murder.

We're not gonna harm you.

We'll get you back
to your husband very soon.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. You saved me.

Thank you so much.

You know what to do, Evie.

Just put on the dress
like a good girl.

Make yourself presentable.

Go to the address.

You'll be directed
to your target.

I don't know who you are
and what you want from me,

but anything is better than
staying with him.

Unless...

Is this some game of his?
Did he put you up to this?

Your husband? No, no, no.

No, I-I told you,

we just had to do this
to save a life.

I-I'm like a prisoner.

I can't go anywhere,
and I can't escape.

And he just got worse and worse.

And nobody knows.
He said he would kill me.

You have to help me.

Okay. Just give me
a moment. Okay?

For the love of God.

She would rather be kidnapped
than be with her husband.

Imagine how bad
that's got to be.

We can't send her back.

I can't let Evie
become a killer.

I don't like this
any more than you do.

What other choice do we have?

We can do this.
We can save them both.

We will find a way.

I've been working on
who Evie's target may be.

I think I may have
hit on something.

Victor Volynets.

Who's that?

An oligarch

Damien forced Eric to
steal $100 million from.

He's been hunting Damien
since the theft,

and he just arrived
here in Budapest.

He's throwing a party
at the Wolf Den,

his floating club on the Danube.

And check this out.

A $200,000 reward
for Damien's whereabouts.

Well, that ain't chump change.

If Damien's after Volynets,
it would be just like him

to kill two birds
with one stone.

The dude is nothing
if not efficient.

Okay, well, if that's
his plan, though,

how does Semaphore fit into it?

Good question.

Go into our archives,

pull up all the data
that we have on Delaine.

Maybe there's a clue in there
as to what he's really after.

I can't believe
this is happening.

Delaine again?

Evie drugged me.
What's he done to her?

It could be the same game he
started when he kidnapped her.

But he's always five steps
ahead, so who knows?

What is it?

Eric thinks Victor Volynets
is Evie's target.

Volynets?

Oliver just sent me
his coordinates.

If we can get to him
before she does,

we can stop her
from killing him.

Come on.

Here we go.

So negotiator us
doesn't carry guns.

Does that apply to kidnapper us?

Take that as a yes.

Who the hell are those guys?

Where's my wife?

We call the shots.
Get your laptop.

Log into your account

at the People's Bank of China.

Now authorize your bank
to purchase $100 billion

worth of the digital
currency Semaphore.

I can't.

Cryptocurrencies are not secure.

They can easily be hacked,
wiped out at a moment's notice.

My government would never agree.

Latency, pitch. He's lying.

You do it,

or I'll put a bullet
in Jaden's pretty little head.

Go ahead. Kill her.

Evie.

Well, look at you, all grown up.

Who are you?

Delaine sent me.

Why don't you come with me.

Damien says you're
quite the protégé.

He doesn't say that
about everyone, trust me.

There he is.

Victor Volynets.

You know what to do.

Later tonight, yeah?

We need to speak in private.

About what?

I have a message
from Damien Delaine.

I don't get it.

Oliver, she's sleeping.

We had him, and then suddenly

he tells us to go ahead
and kill her?

Everything about Xiao says
he wants his wife back. So why?

Those two men,
they were negotiators.

When I made the threat
to kill Jaden,

they knew it wasn't sincere.

So you were profiled?

Damn. It's like
we got beaten by us.

Delaine. Go ahead.

I need an update.

I was pleased to hear
Jaden missed her flight.

Xiao won't make the purchase.

He doesn't believe
that we'll kill her.

Well, make him believe.
Chop off a finger or an ear.

Isn't that what kidnappers do?

I see.

Well, maybe you need
a reminder of the stakes.

I'd hurry up. Rumor has it,

Mr. Volynets has a thing
for very young ladies.

Damien, even if you get
everything you want from this,

and even if you call off Evie,

I want you to know
that I am coming for you.

Call it my lifelong passion.

Yeah. Not convincing, Eric.

You just don't have the singular
commitment to a cause like I do.

You'd be a far more
effective man if you did.

So Delaine sends a young girl
to deliver his messages.

Can't say I mind.

Not that it'll
change the outcome.

Would you like a drink? No, thank you.

I won't report you.

This is from Mr. Delaine.

It's a digital wallet
with $200 million worth

of Semaphore currency,

the $100 million
that he stole from you,

plus another hundred
for your troubles.

No hard feelings.

My only feeling is that he pays.

Tell Mr. Delaine his
payment is accepted.

Well...

What?

I know you've been hunting him,
so I want everything you have.

All surveillance records.

You're a very brave girl.

Zara.

We talked to Volynets.
We just missed Evie.

He's alive?

Yeah, and so he couldn't
have been the target,

but Evie was here.

If Volynets isn't the
target, then who is?

Eric, I think we should
call the police.

Damien would have
planned for that.

He'd make Evie pay
even more than she is now.

So what, then? I don't know.

Just stand by.

Eric, we can't continue
to hold Jaden.

You're absolutely right.

We should give her back
to the governor.

Well, I agree that
we can't keep her, but...

good-bye leverage.

I'm not going back. I'm not.

Jaden, you're free to go.
You can walk out the front door.

You know your husband is never
gonna stop looking for you.

Then how can I
get away from him?

Help us save my daughter.

And I promise you, he will never
lay another finger on you again.

We can both get what we want.

Just hear me out.

We're in. The Trojan's loaded.

She did it.

You did it.

My God, if he catches her
doing this...

He's doing it.

He's changing his password
to protect his account,

and now...

We have it.

Delaine.

Hello, Eric.

We have access to the governor's

personal trading account
at the bank.

You call off Evie,
we give it to you.

Buy as much Semaphore
as you want.

Very good, Eric.
Finally some real progress.

But you give me
the account details first,

I verify them,
then I call her off.

Once you do that,
there's no going back.

You have no idea
what he's planning,

other than it's designed
to cause maximum harm.

If I don't know what
he's planning, I can't stop it.

Send the information please.

Please.

We sent it.

Call off Evie.

Delaine. Delaine!

It's done. I've removed
the encryption from her phone.

You can stop her yourself.

Tracking app,
it's working again.

I have her location. You
track your daughter?

Long story.

Voice mail. Damn it. It
could be part of his game.

Call Zara and Nathalie.

Eric?

We have access to Evie's phone,

and I tracked her location.

You're closer. I'm gonna
send you the coordinates.

Nathalie, get our daughter back.

Jaden.

He knows his account was hacked.

He's talking to people
in Beijing.

Something is happening

in the financial markets,
something big.

If he finds out I did it...

Jaden, hold tight.
We're coming to get you.

I'm getting her
out of there. What's your plan?

Negotiation. And if that doesn't
work, good old brute force.

Wow.

What?

"Chinese Central Bank
Bets Big on Semaphore."

Delaine did it.
Semaphore's being snatched up

by major banks, governments;
Everyone wants in.

So that was his goal.

With the purchase by China,
he's sent a market signal

that Semaphore can
rival the U.S. dollar.

Yeah, but like you said,
Damien doesn't care about money.

So why?

Jaden's husband,

he said that
cryptocurrencies weren't secure.

That's a minority opinion.

Did you bring up all the data
that we have on Delaine?

Yeah, it's right here.

Wait a second, is that Delaine?

Yeah. 22 years ago.

He tried working with the FBI
before he realized

that mass murdering
was his vocation.

He pitched a profiling program

that would automatically collect
and analyze personal data

from the Internet.

But it never happened.

Feds discovered a backdoor
in the program,

one that would give him access
to all that personal data.

What if he's done the
same thing with Semaphore?

Say there's a backdoor;
He activates it.

Now he controls
every unit of Semaphore.

He could wipe it all out
in one keystroke.

And create a financial
crisis that makes 2008

look like a picnic.
You show up at your bank,

your accounts are frozen,
pensions are wiped out,

mass panic ensues.

Delaine claims he
wants to bring down

our technologically
obsessed society.

I mean, this could
actually do it.

Nathalie.

We're at the location you sent.

Evie's not here. We found
her phone in a garbage can.

There was also a gift bag,

like the one at the hotel.

What's in it?

A hotel key card and a photo

of Xiao Weo-Shing,
Jaden's husband.

That's it. He's the target.

Clean up loose ends.

But she left it, the
picture, the key to his room.

There's something else.

It's a surveillance report
on Delaine's whereabouts.

There. That one.
The address has been torn out.

Kelenfoldi Power Station.
It says restricted access.

Just the kind of place
Delaine would hide out.

Evie's fighting back, she's
resisting him, breaking free.

Where is she, then?

She's tracking Delaine.

She's gonna kill him.

Trading in Semaphore
has reached 1.4 trillion.

There must be a threshold before
he activates the backdoor.

Enough to trigger
a financial crisis.

How do we stop it?

Well, we'd have to get into
his private servers,

disable it there,
but we'd need a copy

of the backdoor's executable
to have a shot at it.

All right.
Tell me again in the car.

We should split up. Yeah.

Where is she?

Ms. Denard, I see you
fully recovered.

You're just in time to witness
something truly remarkable.

Semaphore's passed 1.8 trillion,

and I'm about to celebrate.
Would you like to join me?

Where is she, Damien?

As I promised Eric,

your daughter is no longer
my concern.

She's free to do whatever
she pleases.

Evie, no!

Leave him! No, no, no.

No, no, no.

Whatever he's done,
it's not worth your future.

Put this gun down. Mom, get out of the way!

I heard shots. That way.

Find Delaine's servers.

Stop the backdoor
from activating.

You have Evie's phone? Yeah, here.

Why?

Later.
We got to find those servers.

Save the world. In that order.

Right.

Evie, stop it. Stop it.

Well, well, well, I have the...
the whole Beaumont family.

Lucky me.

Evie, you listen to me.

Now, he spent months

trying to recruit you,
like Jessica and Victoria.

But I know you don't want
to end up like them.

I have to. He'll never get
out of my head. I have to.

For you. For all of us.

But he's not in your head.

All the time he thought
he was c-controlling you,

you were resisting
him, fooling him.

You already beat him
at his own game.

You-you did it, sweetie.

You did.

Boy.

What?

Something happens when

investment in Semaphore
hits two trillion.

It's 95% there. What's that something?

My guess?
The backdoor activates,

causing an infinite split,

which will make Semaphore's
value instantly worthless

and start the financial
collapse Damien wants.

Honey, if you kill him,

he will remain in your head
for the rest of your life.

You will be giving him exactly
what he wants: Martyrdom.

Damien's always
dreamed about this.

Your father is
a magnificent liar.

I'll give him that. Shut
up, shut your mouth!

You said you
needed to do that for us,

but you don't need to do
anything more for us, sweetie.

We're good. W-We're a family.

We got one shot.

Damien installed an executable
onto Evie's phone to control it.

The dude is nothing
if not consistent.

The DNA of the program
should be the same

as the backdoor into Semaphore.

I love it when you speak geek.

If I can upload it
to the server,

theoretically I can control it.

Come on.

Remember today?
Remember our walk?

Come with us, baby. Come.

What you need to do is just put
the gun down and we have that.

Okay? Come with me.

Beautiful.

Just... heartfelt,

beautiful speech.

Very good... Come on, baby.

But it changes nothing.

You've already given me
what I wanted.

After Semaphore,
I will be remembered

for a very long time.

Sit down.

What is this, Eric, Abu Ghraib?

I said, sit down.

Oliver, it's 98%.

I can't find anything
Damien might have installed.

He'd disguise it somehow.

No, you're right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

What would
a teenager never look at?

That one.

You're right. That was it.

So what happens now, Eric?

You caught me.
It doesn't matter.

My work is completed.

And I am so pleased

that you were the instrument
of my achievement.

Perfect hero,

serving me, the thing
you hate the most.

I don't hate you, Damien.

I pity you.

You're a genius.

An unusually brilliant man.

I mourn for the things
you could have done.

The things I havedone!

Eric! The things I havedone.

Really, are you
so unaware of the truth?

This world has
a terrible sickness,

and I can save it.

For a world you say
you hate so much,

you seem pretty damned obsessed
with making a mark on it.

Yes.

Execution failed.

Infinite split canceled.

What have you done, Eric?

You don't have the
skill to stop it.

That's true.

I don't.

But I know people who do.

What have you done, Eric?

What have you done?

This was our last chance.

You've condemned us all!

No, Damien.

Only you.

You have no idea the
things I've put in motion!

You think the police
will stop me? Prison?

He's all yours.

You're a sight for sore eyes.

Looks like I missed
the main event.

Not at all. You got Jaden out.

How did you get Jaden out?

I, tried negotiating.

Then I thought to hell with it,
and I just threatened him.

I like your style.Likewise.

Thanks, Cyn.

Hey.

It's over. Let's get you home.

What about him?

He's not going anywhere.

He'll go back to prison?

He's waiting for the police
right now.

Come on.

Hello? Police?

Help. I'm in here.

I can't move. I've been shot.

Well, well, well.

Mr. Delaine?

I never expected to get
a tip from Eric Beaumont.

But it's been a
day of surprises.

Indeed.

I did pay you back,
and then some.

Yes, I know.

But now you pay a higher price.

Beautiful animals.

Should you see
Eric Beaumont again,

please tell him

I was wrong about him.

You're a good man, Dad.
