MAN [over computer]:
Listen, don't mess it up.

If you want your husband back
alive, you do what I say.

I'm listening.

You have the money?

Before we get to that,
we're gonna need proof

that Jonah is alive.

I'm sure you can understand
that Holly here is very worried

about her husband.

There. See?

Oh, my God.
What did they do to you?

Holly, stay calm.
Remember...

no emotion.

Baby, just give him
what he wants, Holly. Okay?

You have the two million?

I have $1 million
in unmarked bills.

I-I said two million.

And I want to get you
what you want, so,

$1 million right now,

or you give me a few weeks,
keep Jonah safe,

avoid the police...

and we'll see what we can do.

Okay, deal.
But we do it now.

I-I'll text you where to meet.

Jonah's alive.
He's okay.

I've negotiated with
many men like this.

Jonah's coming home safe.

OLIVER:
Lake Balaton, huh?

CYNTHIA:
Yeah, this is Hungary's
premiere resort region.

OLIVER:
Wow.

Bet it's great here
in the summertime.

Eric. You might want
to check out this view.

Yeah, it's nice.

CYNTHIA: Holly and Jonah Preston
bought this place a year ago.

They've been fixing it up.

"Felix Culpa Hotel."

Happy fault.

Something good comes
from something bad.
Hmm.

Sorry, we're closed
for the season.

Holly Preston?HOLLY: Yes.

I'm Eric Beaumont
with Crisis Resolution.

Insurance company sent us to
negotiate your husband's return.

Is something wrong,
Ms. Preston?

I don't understand.
You're--

You're not him.

I'm not who?Eric Beaumont.

He was just here.

He's taken the money to pay for

my husband's
release.

♪

Yesterday, my husband
Jonah disappeared.

Uh, then I got a call
demanding $2 million,

or they kill him.

I contacted our
insurance company,

and they called
Crisis Resolution

and told me you guys were
on your way to handle it.

All right.
Um, and then?

And then, this morning,
this man came to the door.

I assumed it was you.

He seemed professional,
like he knew what he was doing.

Did he introduce himself
as Eric?

Well, I was expecting you,
so I said,

"Are you Eric Beaumont?"
and he said yes.

What else did he say?

He assured me that
we'd get Jonah back.

He said the metrics
were excellent,

and that we could trust
the kidnapper.

Well, it sounds like
whoever it is

studied the lingo to pass
himself off as the real thing.

Could you just tell me
what's going on?

Where's my husband?

We're going to
figure that out.

Did this negotiator tell you
where he was headed?

The Kádár Amphitheater.

Kádár?
HOLLY:
Mm-hmm.

OLIVER:
Eric.

Would you excuse us, please?

The hotel security footage
paid off.

This is the guy.

ZARA: This is him arriving
first thing this morning.

You know him?

Yeah, that's Travis Beaton.

OLIVER:
Who is...

He's a negotiator.

One of the best.

Yeah, I read his book.

Came to Quantico
when I was a cadet.

Gave a lecture
on hostage negotiation

and blew us all away.

I mean, he had an amazing
record of saving lives.

He's one of the reasons
I became a negotiator.

Well, it says here he shut
his business down, retired.

So why would he be
impersonating you?

[sighs]
I have no idea.

But it doesn't sound like
the Travis Beaton I knew.

I mean, it's hard to find an
innocent explanation here.

I mean, Jonah's gone,
and there's no money.

Zara, let's you and I go
to the drop site,

see if we can
figure out what happened.

Sure.

Oliver, you and Cynthia
dig up everything you can

on Travis Beaton, especially
where we can find him.

[seagulls squawking]

Is that blood?

Yeah. Recent.

Looks like someone tried
to cover it up.

There's more over here.

So maybe Travis met
the kidnapper.

If Travis came to the drop,
then he wasn't just planning

on running off
with the ransom money.

But why come, then?

Maybe he was really
trying to save Jonah.

Where is he, then?

How well do you know Travis?

I was on one of my first
negotiations for the FBI.

The hostage taker was
low on bullets.

Threatened to kill a hostage

if I didn't get him
more ammunition.

Obviously, everyone, uh--

everyone said it would be crazy
to agree to his demand.

Yeah, count me in.

I knew Travis' reputation,

so I, uh,
called him for help.

And he gave me a tip.

Save the life you can.

I got the hostage taker
his bullets,

and, uh...

we wound up
saving everyone that day.

He taught you to think
outside the box.

I called him a few more times
after that for advice,

and he always came through.

[cell phone buzzing,
chiming faintly]

Do you hear that?

[chiming continues]

ZARA:
I think it's coming
from over there.

[chiming growing louder]

Well, it's not Jonah or Travis.

The kidnapper?

The bullet went
straight through the heart.

"Yannick Zidaru."

He's local.

[vehicle approaching]

MAN:
Yannick?

Yannick!

[cell phone ringing]

[car doors close, engine starts]

[car drives away]

[cell phone chiming]

What do you got?

OLIVER:
We tracked down a guy

that used to work for Beaton.

He said Travis is laying low,

staying at a cottage
in Lake Balaton.

We scored the address
from the local company

that he rented it from.

All right,
send it to me, please.

Eric, you should also know
we found out

Travis was divorced last year.

There's also a record of him
assaulting somebody

in a bar fight.

And he had his condo repossessed
to cover back taxes

he didn't pay.

That doesn't make se--

This is a brilliant man
we're talking about.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry.

Find out what you can
about a Yannick Zidaru.

Looks like he's our kidnapper.

Was. Now deceased.

Zara will send the address.

Wait, Travis killed him?

I don't know. None of this
makes sense right now.

I should call the police
about the body.

See if you can convince them
to keep this quiet,

buy us some time.

Those men find out that
their friend Yannick is dead,

Jonah will likely
be joining him.

Those men are gonna think
you did this, Eric.

They'll come looking for you.Right? On the bright side,

saves us looking for them.

CYNTHIA: All right, this is our dead guy's address.

Crime can't be paying very well
in this neck of the woods.

[sighs]
Okay.

[creaking]

Why is it that unpaid bills

are recognizable
in any language?

CYNTHIA:
Hey.

This is our dead guy.

[phone camera shutter clicks]

Look at this.

A holding cell.

This place has
all the modern conveniences.

This has been here
for some time.

Jonah must have been held here.

Someone broke in here,
and took him.

[panting]

[shouting]

Okay...

W-Where are you taking me?

I just want to go home, okay?

Just... take me home.

Hey-- a-ah...
[shouts]

[grunting]

Oh, my God-- I thought
you were taking me back.

Sit.I thought I was going free.

I-I can, I can
get you more money.

[shouting in Romanian]
Where is he?

Who? Wha...
My-my son.

He kidnapped you?

Uh-- I don't know, I--
he wore a mask!

I can get you more money.
Look, I can pay...

[panting]

[knocking on door]

ERIC:
Travis?

[gun clicks]

Travis.

Eric Beaumont.

[sighs]:
I'd hoped

this would all be over
by the time you got here.

Got you.

You've been shot.

[grunts]

Trust me, this wasn't the plan.

ERIC:
Well, luckily,

the bullet went
right through.

I should get you to a doctor.
This could go septic.

Not a chance.
I've got a job to finish.

You mean myjob.

Eric Beaumont.

Well, you've become quite
the star since your FBI days.

The man with the perfect record.

Trust me, I've made
my share of mistakes.

You gonna tell me
what's going on, Travis?

[sighs] Yeah, I guess
this does look kind of bad,

me pretending to be you?

Why'd you lie to Holly
about who you were?

I heard Jonah
had been kidnapped,

I thought I could save him.

You must've known
that we were inbound.

Yeah, I was here, on the ground.

What would
you have done?

Offered assistance
using my real name?

Yeah, that wasn't gonna work.

What do you mean?

I needed the cash.

You were after the ransom money.

I figured, why should
some criminal have it?

Why not me?

I have debts to pay.

I figured I could get
Jonah back and Holly

would never be the wiser
about where the money went.

What went wrong
at the drop site?

Why is Yannick dead?

TRAVIS:
He pulled his piece, fired.

[gunshot][grunts]

[gunshot] I reacted,

fired back.

[exhales]

Stupid kid.
Yeah.

You showed up
with a gun, Travis.

With a plan to steal the ransom.

What did you think
was gonna happen?

What's your
number one rule?

"Never increase
the risk to the client."

Don't quote me to me.

[car passing in distance]

[dog barking in distance]

It's not safe here.

There's a good chance
Yannick's people

will be looking for us.
We need to move.

We got to find Jonah.

That's not for you
to worry about anymore.

Let me help, Eric.

Please.

I need to make this right.

CYNTHIA:
Okay. What do we have so far?

So our dead kidnapper Yannick

is a member
of the Zidaru crime family.

This is Constantine,
the patriarch.

His wife passed away
a few years ago.

And this is Yannick's
younger brother Marcu.

Cute, they even have a little
family crest. What do you got?

The Interpol report says
they're Romanian.

They've moved around
Eastern Europe

for the last decade or so,
running various

kidnapping and extortion rings.So,

Constantine is the mastermind,
and his sons Yannick and Marcu

do his bidding.

ZARA:
Hey.

CYNTHIA:
Hey. How'd it go?

I bought us some time
with the police.

What, did you bribe them?

Please tell me you did not steal
a dead man's ID and phone.

He wasn't using it.[chuckles]

That the Zidaru family?Mm-hmm.

They got to have Jonah.

If he's still alive.

[door closes]

What have you done?

How could you risk
my husband's life like that?

Holly, I'm sorry. I'm really...

Sorry? That's it?

I'm reporting you to the police.ERIC: Holly.

Jonah is still in the hands
of the kidnappers.

We don't want to notify
the police just yet.

I'm gonna make this right.

When this is done,
you'll get what's coming to you.

Come on.

ERIC: Cynthia,
Oliver, Zara,

this is Travis Beaton.

Hello.

I've heard about the
great Cri/Res team.

You okay?

Oh, yeah, it's...
just a flesh wound.

Would you give us
a moment, Travis?

Oh. Yeah.

Thanks.

He wants to keep
working the case.

You're not considering...

Okay, he's a good man,
he's just lost his way.

OLIVER:
Okay, listen,
I'm all about

hating the sin and not the
sinner, but the guy's committed,

like, three felonies
in the last 12 hours,

and those are just
the ones that we know about.

He's interacted with the
kidnapper, that could be useful.

And if it wasn't Travis Beaton,
the man who inspired you

to become a negotiator,
would you be saying that?

OLIVER: Eric,
with all respect,

you're not being objective here.

Your opinions are taken
under advisement. For now,

Travis works
with us. And...Eric...

we investigate him.

Cynthia, talk to him,
see if you can find out

why he went off the rails,
why he's really here in Balaton.

Anything on Yannick?

Well, I managed to crack

his cell phone.

Found a number
for his father,

Constantine.

Good work. Always good to have
solid tech support on a team.

I'm not tech support.
I'm a profiler.

Right.

Anyway, Constantine Zidaru
and his sons

have been running a kidnapping
and extortion ring for years.

The police have been
hunting him down,

but the guy's like a ghost,
he never shows himself.

So it's likely
Constantine has Jonah.

You're calling him?

Yeah, I'm sure
he'll eventually track us down,

but we don't have time to waste.

And someone needs
to tell Constantine

that his son is dead.

It's exactly what I would do.

Well, with that endorsement...

[phone ringing]

ERIC:
This is Eric Beaumont.

Where is my son?

I have information about
Yannick, but first,

I want to know
that Jonah is safe.

Are you with the Montrovas?

[quietly]:
Montrova?

I'm a negotiator hired
by Jonah's wife.

Put Yannick on!

He's not here.

Listen,

I have something you want,
you have something I want.

We can do business.

You think you can play with me?

No, but the information I have
about your son is something

I can only share in person.

You want Jonah? Tihany Baths,

tomorrow, 7:00 a.m., come alone.

MARCU:
Crisis Resolution.
They work as a team.

Track them. All of them.

ERIC:
Tihany Baths. All right.

You're going in person?
Constantine will kill you once

he finds out Yannick's dead.He's gonna find out soon
enough from the police.

If I tell him over the phone,
he will kill Jonah.

If I'm there,

there is a chance
that I can negotiate him

out of doing it.

Monaco, 1998.

The Capaldi kidnapping?

Yeah. Made them think I was
working the client

to pay a higher ransom.

Simulated coopetition;
make the counterparty

believe you share
the same goal.

Exactly.

Yeah. Yeah, I could use that.

I'll set my alarm.

He said alone.Eric, come on.

You can use me.No. Stay here.

Work with my team.

Provide whatever
assistance you can.

[scoffs]

All right. Have it your way.

[footsteps receding]

Okay, Constantine mentioned

the Montrova crime family
on the call.

We spotted this at Yannick's.

And?The Zidarus aren't

the only crime family
operating in the area.

They have competition:
the Montrovas.

ZARA: The Montrovas
and Zidarus are like

the Hatfields
and McCoys.

Rival clans with
an ancient feud that goes

so far back, no one
even knows how it started.

But the Montrovas
are far more successful

than the Zidarus.
They own high-end properties,

hotels, casinos, perfect venues
for money laundering.

Including the Citadel Hotel.

Seems odd Yannick
would be visiting

his archrival's establishment.

OLIVER:
Yeah.

I thought the same thing.

We'll check it out.

All right.

"Simulated coopetition."

[grunts softly]
Someone's read my book.

[liquid pouring]I did.

You have
a very impressive record.

I had a perfect record.

"Had"?

I'm out of the game now.
[grunts]

Got tired of hotels
and airports... you know.

I was just wondering,

how did you know about
Jonah's kidnapping?

Right place, right time,
I guess.

Were you following Yannick?

Hey, I came to Lake Balaton
to get some peace

and then this happened.

Huh.

If I read your book correctly,
that's called deflection.

[chuckles]

Why were you
following him?

How did you
even know who he was?

Okay.

Okay, so...

you were a great negotiator.

Among the best.
So what happened?

I don't think you'd understand.

Try me.

[grunts softly]

A few years ago...

I was working a case.

A little boy.

His name was Soren.

He was kidnapped.
Didn't make it home.

[exhales]

I'm sorry.

It was a by the
book negotiation.

I built trust,
paid the ransom, but...

kidnappers never showed up
with the boy and...

I never heard from them again.

Stayed on for months...

looking for the people
that took him.

Nothing.

I missed something.

And that boy died...

...because of me.

[water lapping, gulls calling]

It's Marcu, isn't it?

You're Yannick's
younger brother.

♪

So, uh...

you are Eric Beaumont?

You have Jonah Preston.

I have the ransom money.
Let's end this.

How much?

500K.

Okay.

You can have
the hotel owner.

Once I get
my son back.

I'm sorry
I have to tell you this.

Your son is dead.

You killed him!

Tata! Tata![Eric and Constantine grunting]

My Yanni.
[choking]

You'll pay for this.I didn't kill him.

Why would I come here alone,
vulnerable, on your turf?

Someone else
killed him.

Someone, someone who's
pretending to be me. [whimpers]

Tata,no.[Constantine grunts]

[Constantine sobs]

CONSTANTINE:
No...

not again.

Not again.

ERIC: I am sorry
for your loss.

I am.
[sniffles]

But we have
a common interest here.

Honoring your son's deal.

A deal he made
with Jonah's wife.

You want the owner?
Hmm?

Bring me the man who killed
my son by sundown or he is dead.

[wailing]

ERIC:
I have until sundown tonight

to confirm that I'm gonna

give him the killer.Then let's do it.

You seem awfully eager
to sacrifice yourself.

It's not a sacrifice,
it's how we save Jonah.

ERIC: Yeah, I got
the distinct impression

that Constantine was playing
catch-up when it came

to the kidnapping; he didn't
know the ransom amount.

So Yannick was working on his
own when he kidnapped Jonah.

Yeah, it's looking that way.

His father runs
the family operations.

So why did the son
go behind his back?

TRAVIS: Listen,
there's no other way.

We've got what we
need to save Jonah,

that's all that matters here.

Handing you over
is not on the table.

Look, Eric.

You work for her.

Are you gonna let her husband
die because of a mistake I made?

Eric, can I have a word?

Sure.

ZARA:
Well, it looks like

the Montrovas know how
to make crime pay around here.

What do you think about
Eric keeping Travis around?

Travis was his hero.

Must be hard to see
what his hero's become.

I don't think that's it.

Travis was an
out of the box negotiator.

The best,
just like Eric.

You think he sees
himself in Travis?

20 years in the future?
Yeah.

But Eric
would never do

what Travis did.Not now.

But something knocked Travis
off his pedestal.

Whatever it was...

Eric knows the same thing
could happen to him.

[indistinct chatter, laughter]

Thank you for choosing
to gamble at the Citadel.

I'm happy to discuss

your request for credit
in our casino.

I just need a
few details.

We're not actually high rollers
here to play,

Miss Montrova,
we're private negotiators.

What do you know
about Yannick Zidaru?

Yannick's dead. Killed.

In a botched ransom exchange.

Look, we want
to resolve this quietly

and confidentially,
without the police.

But if we have to
involve them...

The Zidarus and my family
hate each other.

The Zidarus killed
my great-grandfather

because he had murdered
their great-great-grandfather

who had murdered
their great...We get... the picture.

It's stupid.

I wanted no part of it.

Nor did Yannick.

He came to me.

He said...

his father was a failure,

hiding out from the police,

getting by on scraps.

He was mean to Yannick.

Brutal, even.

He wanted to join us.

You said yes?

I was open to it.

But my brothers...

...they wanted a show
of good faith.

OLIVER:
Hmm.

That's what the ransom was for.

To buy in.

I didn't know
he was going to kidnap

someone to get it.

He lost a child?
Yeah.

Boy named Soren.

Negotiator's
worst nightmare.

That could send
him into a spiral.

He'd try anything
to make up for it.

Even interfering
in a kidnapping case.

Can you find out
where this happened?

See if it has any parallels
with what's happening here?

[phone dings]There may be a way
we can help him.

So Yannick was working
with the Montrovas.

Excuse me, Eric,
there's somebody here for you.

Now, what's he want?

No, no.
[cell phone ringing]

You stay here.
[exhales]

[door opens]

Hello?
[door closes]

Yes, thank you
for getting back to me.

I'm guessing your father
didn't send you.

Your people went to
the Citadel Hotel.

My father detests
the Montrova family.

If he ever found out...

That Yannick's planning
to join them?

He would never
forgive him.

Yannick confided
in you, didn't he?

He was my older brother.

That's right.

He had big plans.
Brothers stick together.

You were leaving
with him.
But not now.

Oh, because your father
would take it all out on you?

Listen, Marcu, I may have
no choice but to let him know.

He can never know.TRAVIS: Marcu?

It's Marcu, isn't it?

Listen.Travis.

Take me to your father.
I'm the man he wants.

Travis, now is not the time.

I have to go.

I can't be seen here.

Marcu, wait, wait, please.

Look, give me
Constantine's number,

I'll go talk to him,
clear this whole mess up.

No, you're not
getting that number.

We have another option
we're working on.

You think I've lost it,
don't you?
[sighs]

You endangered
my client.

Oh, so that makes you
better than me?

I didn't say that, but maybe

you're in this
for the wrong reason.

Oh, you think this is about
my record? My ego?

I don't have
time for this.

Hey, you're one to talk,
Beaumont.

Hey.

You think I don't know
that you count every one

of those lives you save?
I bet you keep

a little book
with the names of each

and every one of them,
etched in stone.

Travis.
And don't tell me

you don't wake up in a sweat
sometimes wondering

what's gonna happen
when you lose one

and your perfect
record's broken.

But it's worse than that
because you're wondering,

"What do I care about more?
The life I just lost,

or the fact that my perfect
record is forever tarnished?"

We're no different, you and me.

He's just blowing off steam.

Yeah.

Look, I found
something.

The boy that Travis lost, Soren?

It happened in Bucharest
12 years ago.

And guess what?
Constantine was

operating out of Bucharest then.

He left shortly after
Soren disappeared.

Well, the timeline fits.

Constantine
kidnapped Soren.

Travis must've been negotiating
with him back then.

CYNTHIA:
He blames Constantine
for killing the boy.

ERIC:
That's what this
is really about.

Travis lied.

He was never after
the ransom money.

He came here planning
to kidnap Yannick

and draw out
Constantine.

He's here for revenge.

Constantine, it's Eric Beaumont.

What's Travis up to?[car engine starts]

Where's he going?

On a suicide mission.

He got ahold
of Yannick's phone,

most likely to call
Constantine.

Then how do we find
Constantine's whereabouts?

You know what?
I bet Lena Montrova

keeps tabs on her old rival.Text us the address.

On it.

♪

That's Travis's car.Uh-huh.

[cell phone ringing]

Cynthia.CYNTHIA: I contacted a reporter

in Bucharest to get more detail

about the boy Soren
and the kidnapping.

You need to hear this.

You are not Eric Beaumont.

Who are you?You don't remember me?

I want the man
who killed my son.

First, I want to see Jonah.

Is all the money there?

See for yourself.

MARCU:
Wait a minute.

[shouting]

It's you.

You're the man
who killed my son.

CONSTANTINE:
Who the hell are you?

My name is
Travis Beaton.

I'm a negotiator.

12 years ago I negotiated
for a family

whose son you
kidnapped and killed.

And I'm here to see you
pay for that.No, no, no.

You are the one who's

going to pay for killing
my Yannick. Let him go.

ERIC:
Constantine, wait.

All right,
you need to put

the guns down. I have
information that you both

need to hear.

Yannick wasn't who
you thought he was.

Don't listen to him.CONSTANTINE:
What are you talking about?

Yannick
kidnapped Jonah

in order to have the money to
buy into the Montrovas' empire.

My son would never do that.
He's my blood.

ERIC: Yannick knew
there was no future here.

Living in the shadows,
afraid of the police.

He knew you were finished.
He begged the Montrovas

to let him be a part
of their success.

Is this true?

The Montrovas?

Tell me!

You belittled Yannick
every chance you could.

He hated you.

CONSTANTINE:
Yannick...

and the Montrovas.

I'm sorry your son betrayed you,
Constantine, but more deaths

are not gonna change that.

Travis...

No.

He needs to pay
for what he did.

He killed Soren.

No, he didn't.

Yannick isn't the first son
that you lost, is he?

Don't dare speak of things
you know nothing about!

13 years ago in Bucharest,
you lost another son.

He died in a traffic accident,
seven years old.

His name was Marcu.

You kidnapped a replacement,

didn't you?

A four-year-old boy.

Marcu, here,

is that kidnapped
child, Soren.

[scoffs]

No.

We loved him.ERIC: Prove it.

Give him the truth.

He deserves to know.

My wife...

was driving

and blamed herself.

She went into shock.
I thought

she wouldn't recover.

I never intended
to keep you.

Your real parents
were diplomats.

Rich. We kidnapped you
for the ransom...

...but when my wife saw you,
she came alive again.

He's the boy?

I gave you a good life, Marcu.

You're still my son,

my only son.

You told me I was adopted,

not stolen.

You said my parents
were dead.

It's all lies.

Come back, Marcu!

[crying]

Your parents have never stopped
looking for you, Soren.

♪

Thank you.

Thank you.

Of course.

[sighs]

I'm sorry about what I said.

You were right
not to give up on Soren.

You could put his name
in your little book.

[chuckles] I threw it away.

You know,
when I watched you in there,

I realized I could
never do it like you.

[chuckles]

I can't even do it
like me anymore.

I need to make peace with that.

Felix Culpa.

When something good
comes from something bad.

[chuckles]

See you around, Beaumont.

Yeah.

Uh, and remember,

save the life you can.

♪

Travis said these names
were badges of honor.

What do you say?

I don't know.

I like to think keeping them
reminds me

how important each
and every one of them is.

That's why we do this job.

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

You know, I bet this place
is great in the summertime.
