• Sam : The specialty of the groups coming out of this area is trafficking in women.

  Bryan Mills : Keep going.

  Sam : Okay. Their previous MO was to offer women from the emerging East-European countries like Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria jobs in the west as maids and nannies. Once they smuggled them in, they'd addict them to drugs and turn them into prostitutes. Lately, however, they've decided that it's more economical just to kidnap traveling young women. Saves on transportation costs.

  Lenore : [crying]  Not my little baby.

  Bryan Mills : What else?

  Sam : Based on what they know about the way these groups operate, our analyst says you have a ninety-six hour window from the time she was grabbed.

  Bryan Mills : To what?

  Sam : To never finding her.

• Lenore : I don't get you.

  Bryan Mills : What?

  Lenore : You sacrificed our marriage to the service of the country, you've made a mess of your life in the service of your country, can't you sacrifice a little one time for your own daughter?

  Bryan Mills : I would sacrifice anything for her.
