HWI 203

Hollywood What If Chapter 203

[The first scene was about a father grieving over the death of his son and relatives. Unlike the Arabic person last time who looked like a wealthy person, this old father looked simple and solemn with an unkempt beard and short grey hair.]

[He was the father of one of the people that Bryan Mills(Liam Neeson) killed.]

[Their family had business related to crimes such as human and drug trafficking.]

[While the father was grieving over the death of his family, a phone call erupted and woke him from his depression.]

[When the father answered the call. He talked to the cell phone for a few seconds before he nodded.]

["I understand... I will go with your plan". He answered and ended the call.]

The audience felt like Bryan Mills' enemies this time were not simple. The people who watched the post-credit scene of The Bourne Identity last time knew that an Arabic man who seemed to be part of the so-called High Table intended to kill Bryan Mills. 

Yet now, it looked like another group was joining the battle. Even though Bryan Mills was related to the CIA as a retired agent, his presence alone was not enough to face a whole organization of criminals, much more two! 

After those small bits, the title of the movie appeared, "Taken 2". 

[Bryan Mills was cleaning a car when someone offered him help. The person was none other than Kazir Grey!]

[Bryan Mills just smiled and said "Thanks, but I can't do it alone."]

The audience knew that every Continental movie had a part where Director Kazir Grey would show up! It was already an obvious fact. 

In fact, the audience was waiting for the moment when Kazir Grey would show up. But who would expect that Director Grey's cameo would happen within five minutes of the movie? 

The people clapped and started screaming Kazir's name. Kazir Grey was already a famous director and many people recognized him. Now that he has shown his face in every movie of Continental Cinematic Universe, more people recognize him. 

While looking at the screen, Kazir Grey touched his chin and chuckled. 

When they filmed this scene, Kazir Grey still had a beard and he looked much older. 

[After cleaning the car, Bryan Mills went to Lenore's place. Lenore(Brianna Evans) was Bryan's ex-wife. They had a divorce because Bryan Mills was too focused on his job that he forgot about his family.]

[When Bryan Mills knocked on the door, he found Lenore and gave her a hug.]

["Where's Kim?" Bryan Mills asked about his daughter.]

["She's with her boyfriend." Lenore said and invited Bryan to enter the house.]

[The two talked. Lenore said that her relationship with her husband was crumbling and it seemed that they were going to have a separation.]

"Looks like Bryan has a chance." 

One of the audience chuckled after knowing that Lenore's relationship with her husband was unstable. 

They were watching the movie and Bryan Mills was the protagonist, of course they would support him. 

[The two talked and Bryan Mills exited the house. Before Bryan Mills left, Lenore reminded the man not to track Kim. Lenore knew that Bryan Mills became overprotective after the incident.]

["Don't worry, I'm not going to do a thing." Bryan said and bid farewell.]

[A transition happened. In this scene, Kim Mills was kissing her boyfriend.]

Yup, underage actors can do a kissing scene. Although it had a lot of restrictions most of the time, the filming crew needed approval from the parents. 

The crew could use a body double for the kissing scene if the parents didn't agree. They could also erase the kissing in the script as well. 

This time, the kissing scene was brief and not sensual at all. Just enough to send a message that Kim Mills was older. 

[Right after their kiss, a knock on the door caught their attention and the couple stood up.]

[Kim's boyfriend opened the door and found a stranger. A man who seemed to be in his 40s, he looked ordinary but there was something about him.]

["Hi, I'm Bryan Mills. I'm Kim's father." He greeted the boyfriend.]

[The boyfriend was surprised at first but he introduced himself as well. Kim showed up, a bit surprised and mad at her father.]

["Remember, you told me to teach you how to drive, so that you can get your driver's license." Bryan said and Kim nodded. Still, she didn't like it when her father showed up unexpectedly and disturbed her time with her boyfriend.]

["I can't believe you did that. Did Mom tell you?" Kim Mills talked to her father while carefully driving.]

["Look at the traffic lights. No, your Mom never told me about your boyfriend's address." Bryan replied.]

["I see... so you tracked me using GPS."]

["Kim, you have to understand. I'm trying my best. I don't want that to happen again."

["I understand... Thanks, Dad." She couldn't blame her father. Kim knew that her father was worried about her.]

[She witnessed how her father saved her from the hands of criminals. She knew how far her father would do just to make sure that she was safe.]

After the incident in France, their lives returned to normal. Although that peace won't last that long.

[A few days later, Bryan Mills visited Lenore's house again to teach Kim how to drive. A car came out of the house and passed him. Bryan recognized the person who was driving the car, it was Lenore's husband.]

[When Bryan Mills looked at the door, he found Lenore in tears. He approached the woman and asked her about her problem.]

[Lenore said that to fix their relationship, she asked her husband if he wanted to go to Istanbul, Turkey, and have some fun. Everything was already set and prepared. Yet, today, her husband said that he had things to do and he wanted to cancel the vacation. It made Lenore heartbroken. She prepared this vacation for them to reconcile.]
