Entry 3/ Third Episode
Becca discovers that her kidnapped son was not on the small plane where she saw him taken at the end of the second episode. The plane lands in Milan, but only a blond British lawyer, her two bodyguards and the pilot get off the plane. As Dax Miller, head of the Paris CIA staff, questions the lawyer, Becca, watches through a remote camera and declares her as a liar. But since Becca was the only one who saw her son, the CIA can't hold the lawyer Sloane. Miller (head of the Paris CIA staff), plans to send Becca back to the U.S. but her friend Giancarlo claims her on an Interpol warrant for a killing in Rome. Meanwhile, Becca's 18-year-old son, Michael, who was kidnapped in the first episode, wakes up in a castle and goes exploring. He tells an armed guard on the terrace that his kidnapping is a mistake because neither him nor his mother is rich. As Michael proceeds to walk away from the nonresponsive man, a bullet whizzes past, halting his progress. Becca and Giancarlo head to Ravello, Italy, where Slaone has gone to manage a charity auction of a yacht. Becca questions Sloane on the yacht, who consults a man aboard that seems to be in charge. Sloane advises him to "take her out," because Becca will later be a problem. Michael, now a prisoner in the castle, questions a young woman, Oksana, who brings him food. He tells her his kidnapping is a mistake, but she replies, "They never get the wrong guy." Meanwhile, Beccca's best friend from home, Mary, has arrived in Rome to help her search for Michael. Becca is unable to dissuade her from coming to Ravello, though she says Michael isn't missing, he has just run off with a girl. Miller learns that Giancarlo has lied to get Becca out of his custody and vows to follow them to Ravello. Mary is happy to see Becca, then confesses that her husband has left her for another woman so she is free to vacation together in Europe. To persuade Mary to go home, Becca lets her think that Giancarlo and her are lovers. Mary gets hurt and then calls Becca a lousy friend. Giancarlo managed to get an invitation to the charity auction, where Becca mingles in the crowd, watching Sloane and helping Giancarlo identify the people there. Suddenly, Mary shows up at the party and Sloane takes her undder her wing, hoping to distract Becca. The plan works until Giancarlo appears to take care of Mary so Becca can slip aboard the yacht to explore. In the cabin, she finds a box that contains a small red bag full of diamonds. Back at the castle, Michael talks with Oksana, proclaiming that he is in Holland or Russia because of the architecture he sees. He keeps busy by drawing a map of what he sees and carving his secret code with his mother into the furniture (the one that means "I love you"). Back in the hotel room, Mary discovers multiple passports and a gun in Becca's handbag. So when Becca gets back to the hotel Mary asks her, "Who are you?" Becca explains that she was a trained CIA operative and she didn't tell Mary in order to protect her. She also admits that Michael was kidnapped but she doesn't know why or who took him. Meanwhile, Miller confronts Giancarlo about his lie about taking Becca on an Interpol warrant, and they agree that Miller will aid Becca in finding her son while Giancarlo helps from a distance. Mary is finally persuaded to go to the airport, but when a man knocks at the door, we see that a bodyguard hired by Becca and Giancarlo lies dead and the fake one turns Mary over to Sloane. Becca aboards a speedboat in the Ravello harbor and Sloane and Mary aboard another. Sloane wants to trade Mary for the diamonds, but Mary jumps overboard and the two women hold a gunfight as thier boats speed across the water. But Becca has an unknown advantage: Sloane's boss has ordered her execution. The bullet hist Sloane's forehead just as she makes a trade of information for the diamonds. Before she dies, Sloane tells Becca that her son has been taken by the same man who killed her husband 10 years ago. Back at the castle, Oksana climbs into Michael's bed but he realizes that she is a prisoner too and that they told her to go to his room. She leaves, but tells someone outside Michael's room that he is beginning to trust her. Becca finally sends Mary home, but not before Mary points out that Giancarlo is truly in love with Becca.

Entry 2/Second Episode
At the end of the first episode Becca was shot and fell in the water, but the bullet only grazed her. She recovers quickly and climbs out of the river and yet manages to collect the photos of her son Michael that fell in the water. Becca turns to a cafe owner who is a mother like herself to help her clean up her injury. The women gives her a gun, and Becca pulls it out on two French police officers so that they will arrest her. As Becca gets to the police station she confronts the deputy director of French intelligence, and offers him a bargain. He is to help her find her son Michael and in return she is suppose to hand over the "hard drive" that can convict him of corruption. "Hard drive" is actually a code name for a man who worked for the French intelligence chief and can remember everything. Becca is the only one who knows where "hard drive" is since she has hid him in the countryside. When she arrives at hard drives home she convinces him to come with her. In the car, he tells her that he has suffered for his part in what happened 12 years ago. Becca calls the French intelligence chief and tries to change their deal, but he emails her a video of her son being held captive and that makes her proceed to the bridge where she is suppose to receive Michael in exchange for hard drive. When Becca and hard drive get to the bridge she finds out hard drive has a wife and 2 kids. A man whose head is covered by a bag walks toward her, and she then realizes she has been set up so she starts to shoot and she and hard drive escape. Hard drive then tells Becca that his family is back home at the farm, so they race home to move them to safety with the help of her ex lover Giancarlo. Meanwhile, the CIA station chief, Dax Miller and his team try to trace Becca's movements so they can get her out of France as the CIA management has ordered. Miller meets with the French intelligence officer and promises to let him take hard drive if they were allowed to have Becca. Hard drive and Becca then determine that they must break into the French intelligence agency to get information from the deputy director's office. They accomplish this by Becca bumping into a woman and stealing her ID card. Hard drive then pulls the fire alarm at the intelligence headquarters, which send everyone scurrying for the exits. Becca then scales a wall to the second floor, and then climbs a pole allowing her to turn off the alarm so hard drive is able to use the elevator. They find out that the French intelligence chief is going to move Michael out of Paris by flying him on a private plane, so Becca calls Miller and asks him to stop the flight. She steals a motorcycle to speed to the airport while hard drive delivers evidence of the French chief's corruption. Becca arrives at the airport and runs toward the plane, where she sees Michael screaming for help. But the plane takes off, and she then falls to the floor and starts crying just as Miller and his team arrive on the scene.
