Storyline

The kidnappers deliver their ransom demand - EUR10 million - giving them only 10 hours to produce the money. They also explode a small bomb they had placed in in Maxime's home, giving credence to the theory that someone on the inside may be involved. The elder Marianski has to put together the money - he canceled the kidnap insurance some months before - and he doesn't have a lot of cash on hand. One of the kidnappers begins to have second thoughts about the operation, particularly over the fact that she killed Maxim's girlfriend during the snatch. In Florence, Eva makes a major discovery. Hickman meanwhile finds evidence pointing to the person behind the scheme.

Some Nice Touches

While the people that were being helped were really lacking in humanity, the attempted rescue of their son becomes interesting because of the methods needed. The bad guys have some brutal methods and come across pretty slimy, especially the leader. When one of the agents goes to Florence, a new avenue into the solution opens up. It gets down, however, to the greedy father and the vindictive mother. Several of the agents combine to work things out and the conclusion is a bit melodramatic but entertaining.
