Hollywood What If Chapter 119

[Author's Note: The summary of Taken might be long because there are scenes that I have to add to make it related to the Continental Cinematic Universe. Honestly, I don't like writing summaries because I feel like it's not entertaining. I have to skip some scenes too because I felt like they are not relevant. I recommend you to watch 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 strong accent. It was a good thing that Bryan recorded the whole call.]

The audience had a bad expression watching the kidnapping. The topic of kidnapping was too heavy these days as if it was the most sinful crime of all. 

[Bryan understood that the life of his daughter was in danger. He has to start moving.]

[First, he went to his ex-wife's house(mansion) and informed them that Kim was missing. Lenore started crying when she heard what 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 the sex traffickers were Albanian. Based on their information, they could only save Kim within 96 hours or she would forever be gone.]

Just like Lenore, the response of the audience was the same. They were heartbroken. They couldn't imagine how hard it was to be in their situation. 

[With determination, Bryan went to Paris and entered the place where Kim and Amanda stayed before getting abducted. He saw the aftermath of the crime, his face turned livid. Thankfully, he got his first clue, Peter's reflection was caught in the picture that Kim took.]

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

[Just as he expected, he was right. He found the bastard.]

"Get him!" Someone in the theater screamed that and everyone agreed. The audience started yelling when Bryan smashed Peter's face against the car and punched his stomach while asking for Kim's location. 

Unlike the original, Kazir emphasized the bleeding on Peter's face. Showing that Bryan Mills had enough strength to smash someone to bleed. 

[Unfortunately, Peter tried to escape. He started running away and was struck by a car. Because of it, Bryan lost his lead to finding his daughter.]

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

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

[Bryan Mills had a few interactions with these people because of his work. He knew that there were shadows behind the peaceful world, a group of people specialized in assassinations. Criminals who can destroy a country if they want to.]

[Bryan Mills knew about the High Table.]

"Cool..."

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

[A person who wears nothing but a dark leather jacket, quiet, but has a unique vibe around him. He was there, but there at all.]

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

["That's not my name."]

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

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

["My daughter is missing. She is abducted 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 dark, Raizo remained sitting but his aura merged with the darkness as if he vanished.]

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

The teenage boys in the audience liked edgy dark characters.

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

[Bryan Mills infiltrated the place. He started looking for her daughter. Yet the only thing he found was her jacket(It was actually a jacket)from a drugged woman (Eva Green). Bryan rescued the woman after a night of gunfight and car chasing.]

[The woman was weak but she successfully told the place where Kim and Amanda were kept.]

[Acting as local police, Bryan entered the house and found the people responsible for Kim's disappearance. They were crude and dangerous but Bryan was not affected. He tricked each one of them by saying the word "Good Luck". At last, he found the bastard.]

[Bryan turned serious. "You don't remember me? We spoke in the phone two days ago. I told you I will find you."]

[Another action sequence happened with Bryan winning. The criminals were beaten up and killed. Bryan was fast and precise. He easily defeated them.]

The men who watched it 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 glanced at Kazir Grey who was silently watching the movie. 

[After the battle, Bryan checked each room and found many drugged women. He saw Amanda too, but the woman was overdosed and lifeless.]

[He didn't find his daughter so he tortured the "Good Luck" guy. The man was electrocuted to death after telling Kim's location.]

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

[Through the relentless battle, Bryan found Kim at last but the only way to get her was by forcing the Arabic guy to buy her.]

[But it was not that simple. Bryan Mills was caught by the guards and almost strangled to death. He fought the guards and killed the leader of the auction.]

[The last battle happened in a yacht where fought the bodyguards of a rich Arabic guy. He broke through the enemies and killed them one by one. No one could stop him. Until he reached the room where the Arabic guy tried to negotiate with Bryan. But he only received bullets in the end.]

[The movie ended with Bryan saving his daughter. He took her back to America.]
