Posted by The Marksman at 30 July, at 06 : 31 AM Print

Michael and his team are hired by a multi millionaire business man to work security for a party being organized by him and his wife Sarah.  Sam and Fiona are on location getting ready when four kidnappers break in with semi automatic weapons, they out gun Sam and kidnap Sarah and Fiona as they escape the location.  Sam calls Michael who wants an update on how things are going, and Sam tells him that the kidnappers came in with a heavy arsenal and not only did they take the client, they also took Fiona.

Michael and company get a call from the kidnappers who took Fiona and Christian’s wife; they tell Michael that they want $20 million dollars to let them go.  Fiona sends Michael a message during the web cam call by blinking that the kidnappers do not have their masks on, which means that they will not let them go even if they get the money.  Fiona convinces the head kidnapper to leave them alone, and they lock them in the basement alone.

Fiona causes a distraction after prepping some ways to escape by starting a fake fight with Christian’s wife, so that she would be taken to the bathroom.  As the kidnappers break the fight up Fiona steals a cell phone off of one of the kidnappers, and is taken to the bathroom to freshen herself up.  She calls Michael from the bathroom as he and Sam are driving around trying to trace where her call is coming from.

Fiona sees Christian’s wife being taken away by the kidnappers, and she realizes that Christian must have made a deal to free his wife Sarah.  Fiona let’s Michael know that the no longer have 24 hours to find and rescue them, and they only have about an hour at this point.  They kidnappers take Fiona back to the basement where she calls Michael again and tells him she is going to create a signal for him to find her.  Fiona sets a fire and put it in the AC ventilation system, which starts to flow thick black smoke outside for Michael and Sam to see.  As they head towards Fiona’s location Michael calls Jesse and tells him that Christian made the deal to pay the ransom and Jesse needs to handle that situation.

Jesse confronts Christian who said that he could not just stand by and does nothing, Jesse tries to get him to cancel paying the ransom, but at this point it is too late.  Jesse goes ballistic and is ready to almost hurt Christian, but Madeline intervenes and tries to get Jesse to cool off.  Fiona get the kidnapper to move her out of the basement because of all the smoke, and he gives her some water because of the smoke inhalation.  Fiona gets him to admit they are going to kill her and she manages to get the kidnapper to give her a bottle of Vodka as he handcuffs her to a chair.  Fiona escapes from the chair dislocating her shoulder in the process she tells Michael and Sam to go get Sarah, and not to worry about her situation.  Sam stays behind as backup while Michael heads off to try and save Sarah.

Jesse and Madeline are finally able to reason with Christian and he gives up the location of the drop, they relay that information to Michael who starts heading that direction.  Fiona puts some of the Vodka in a light bulb, and she screws it back into the ceiling fan.  She calls the kidnapper into the room after turning the light on, and she starts to tell him that she has come to terms that she is going to die and that he should just shoot her.  As the kidnapper gets ready to pull the trigger Fiona stalls enough for the explosion to occur which knocks the kidnapper to the floor, she jumps on his back and starts to choke him out.

The second kidnapper runs into the room to see what happened, and Sam takes care of him before he can assist.  Michael shows up at the drop, and shows the other two kidnappers that their brother has been taken hostage.  They give up their guns and Sarah, Michael then tells them that there is a bomb set with a timer placed underneath his brother, and they will need to call the police as they won’t make it in time if they want to save him.  Michael shoots out their tires and drives off which forces them to call the police.  Michael and Jesse are discussing a few things as Fiona walks through the door, and Michael embraces her and they start kissing.  Jesse looks a bit jealous and slips out as Michael and Fiona continue kissing.

Jesse heads back to get ready for the bank robbery him and Michael have planned, and Madeline tells Jesse that it is okay for him to care about Fiona.  Jesse tries to play it off, but she tells him that he needs to work on his poker face.  Michael shows up and Jesse and him break into the bank and steal the contents of the safety deposit box relatively easy.  They escape well before security shows up, and get back to the car to examine what was inside the box.

When they open the package they see that it is a bible, they thumb through it and see words marked out in black.  They determine that it is a hidden cipher that they must decode what the hidden message is, as they are flipping through Jesse asks Michael to flip back to the beginning of the book as he saw a passage.  As they read it the book is addressed to a Simon Escher, and Jesse asks Michael does he know anything about a Simon.  Michael (talking to himself says that lying to a friend is one of the most difficult things you can do) looks Jesse in the eye smiles and says that he knows nothing about a Simon.  They plot has just thickened as Simon’s name has now come back up, and with Michael still hiding the fact that he was the spy who burned Jesse it will be interesting to see where things go from here.
