Taken 2

In Tropojë, Albania, crime boss Murad Hoxha buries his son Marko and vows revenge on Bryan Mills. Bryan is in Istanbul on a job when his ex-wife Lenore and daughter Kim arrive on a surprise visit. Murad tracks Bryan down, and his men capture Bryan and Lenore. Kim, in hiding, must follow her father's phone instructions, set off grenades so he can find his bearings, and help with the escape. The chase ends in a Turkish bathhouse, where Bryan faces Murad in a final fight.
