They decide to age one of the photos and discover that is of Nathan as a child. He contacts the person who placed the photo to find out what's going on. The person on the other end only wants to know info about Nathan so Nathan hangs up. The person then contacts someone in Europe and shows him a photo of the one who called. He then heads for the U.S. Nathan then wonders is it true, was he abducted. He tells his "mom" who then tells him she and his "father" will tell him. But before they can, two men claiming to be cops show up wanting to talk to Nathan, and when he isn't found they pull guns and demand Nathan be given to them. His parents fight them but are killed. Nathan runs but remembers that he asked Karen to come over... Written by rcs0411@yahoo.com

Trivia

Nathan wears a Pittsburgh Pirates shirt, #21 with the name Clemente on the back. Roberto Clemente was a star player for the Pirates. He was the first Latin American to have 3000 hits, and the first Latin American elected into the Hall of Fame posthumously. He won 12 golden gloves, 15 All-star selections, lifetime .317 batting average, and played in two winning World Series, being MVP in the '71 series. He died on a flight to Nicaragua on the 31st of December, 1972, flying with emergency relief items to help after the earthquake there. The statue outside PNC park (which was possibly going to be named after Clemente before PNC bought the naming rights) where the ticket is left is of Roberto Clemente. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: Some 54 minutes into the movie, when Nathan and the girl arrive at the "waiting location", Nathan picks up the stuff from the desk. He places the gun beside rolls of euros and dollars on the desk, with his right hand and the barrel facing him. However, in the next shot, you can see a totally different position of these objects - the gun is on the other side of the table, the roll of euros is not laid down, the album disappears, the black object and the USB stick are in different places and a red dice appears.
