Hollywood What If

Chapter 119

[Author's note: The summary of Taken might be long because there are scenes I have to add to make it related to the Continental Cinematic Universe. Again, I don't like writing summaries because I don't think it's fun. I also have to skip some scenes because I feel they are not relevant. I recommend watching the movie instead].

[There was a long pause, but someone responded to his statement.]

["Good luck."]

[It was clearly a touch of sarcasm. The person had a thick accent. It was a good thing that Bryan recorded the whole conversation.]

The audience had a bad expression as they watched the kidnapping. The subject of kidnapping was too heavy these days, as if it was the most sinful crime of all.

[Bryan understood that his daughter's life was in danger. He had to start moving.]

[First, he went to his ex-wife's house and informed her that Kim was missing. Lenore began to cry when she heard what had happened to Kim.]

[Bryan contacted his friend who could help them get more information about the kidnapping. With the help of his friend, they determined that the sex traffickers were Albanian. Based on their information, they had 96 hours to rescue Kim or she would be gone forever.]

Just like Lenore, the audience's reaction was the same. They were heartbroken. They couldn't imagine how hard it was to be in her situation.

[With determination, Bryan went to Paris and entered the place where Kim and Amanda were staying before they were kidnapped. He saw the aftermath of the crime and his face turned grim. Luckily, he got his first clue when Peter's reflection was in the picture Kim took.]

[If his intuition was right, Peter was part of a criminal organization and his role was to lure innocent foreign women].

[As Bryan expected, he was right. He found the bastard. Despite kidnapping a pair of underage women yesterday, Peter had the guts to wait in the airport to find another target.]

"Get him!" Someone in the theater shouted, and everyone agreed. The audience started cheering when Bryan smashed Peter's face into the car and punched him in the stomach while asking for Kim's location.

Unlike the original, Kazir emphasized the bleeding on Peter's face. To show that Bryan Mills had enough strength to smash someone and make them bleed.

[Unfortunately, Peter tried to escape. He ran away and was hit by a car. As a result, Bryan lost his lead in finding his daughter.]

[Distraught and with no choice, Bryan decided to contact a certain person].

This scene was not in the original movie. This scene was the introduction of a person from the underground society.

[Bryan Mills had had some interactions with these people through his work. He knew that behind the peaceful world there were shadows, a group of people who specialized in assassination and crimes. Criminals who could destroy a country if they wanted to.]

[Bryan Mills knew about the High Table].

"Cool..."

A teenage boy was fascinated. He thought Asians were cheeky nerds who knew the most about math. But the person Bryan Mills met was different.

[A person wearing nothing but a dark leather jacket, quiet, but with a unique vibe around him. He was there, but not there at all].

["Raizo", Bryan Mills found the person he was looking for.]

["That's not my name."]

["I need your help." Bryan Mills tossed a certain coin and Raizo caught it. This coin had a fixed value.]

["Bryan, you're not of this world. You are already retired. You should live your life to the fullest."]

["My daughter is missing. She was kidnapped by sex traffickers."]

[Raizo looked at the coin in his hand. A few seconds later, he put the coin in his pocket. "There's a sex den at a construction site to the north, maybe you can find a lead there."]

["Thanks." Hearing the term "sex den" was disturbing, but Bryan had to keep his composure. He left the place after getting what he wanted.]

[In the darkness, Raizo remained seated but his aura merged with the darkness as if he disappeared].

"Cool. Dad, I want to know how he did that!"

The teenage boys in the audience liked edgy dark characters. The fathers just chuckled and continued watching the movie.

[Raizo was not lying. There was a sex den hidden in the middle of the construction site.]

[Bryan Mills infiltrated the place. He went looking for her daughter. But the only thing he found was her jacket from a drugged woman (Eva Green). Bryan rescued the woman after a night of shootouts and car chases.]

Car chases were not something new in the cinema, but it was still something that men love to watch. Cars rushing fast, flying, or exploding in midair. There is art in explosion and car chase.

[The woman was weak, but she successfully revealed the location where Kim and Amanda were being held. At last, Bryan found a clue to where his daughter might be].

[Acting as local police, Bryan entered the house and found the people responsible for Kim's disappearance. They were rough and dangerous, but Bryan was unfazed. He tricked each one of them to say the word "good luck". The voice and thick accent was something that Bryan would never forget.]

[He approached the bastard.]

[Bryan turned serious. "You don't remember me? We spoke on the phone two days ago. I told you I would find you." He smashed the bastard's head against the table in fury.]

[Another action sequence ensued with Bryan winning. The criminals were badly beaten and killed. Bryan was fast and accurate. He defeated them easily. Even though he was outnumbered, Bryan Mills was the last man standing.]

The men watching were in awe. Even Tom Cruise was interested in the action sequences in the movie. It was different from the over-the-top style. Suddenly, Tom Cruise looked at Kazir Grey, who was watching the movie in silence.

[After the fight, Bryan checked every room and found many drugged women. He also saw Amanda, but the woman was overdosed and lifeless. Amanda was Kim's young friend and her life ended miserably.]

[Perhaps fortunate or unfortunately, Bryan couldn't find his daughter].

[He didn't find his daughter, so he tortured the "Good Luck" man by electrocuting him. The man died after giving up Kim's location.]

[Apparently, Kim was sold to the sex slave auction where rich people buy virgin women].

[Through the relentless fight, where he fought and killed so many people, Bryan finally found Kim.]

[But it was not so simple. Bryan Mills was caught by the guards and nearly strangled to death. He fought the guards and killed the auctioneer.]

[The final battle took place on a yacht where Bryan Mills fought the bodyguards of a rich Arab. He broke through the enemies and killed them one by one. No one could stop him. Until he reached the room where the old Arab held Kim Mills hostage. The Arab tried to negotiate for his life, he threatened Bryan that the High Table would be after his life. But in the end, all he got was bullets.]

[The movie ended with Bryan rescuing his daughter. He brought her back to America.]
