Plot Summary
- Malankov is a mob boss, and Stuart owes money to him. When Stuart fails to pay up, Malankov kills Stuart's accountant as a reminder to what he is capable of doing.Former covert operative, Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson), visits his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace), who just discovered she's pregnant, at her L.A. apartment to deliver an early birthday gift. Kim is nervous as she is still in college and does not know how Bryan will react to this news. Kim is dating Jimmy (Jonny Weston) at the time.After an awkward visit, he invites his ex-wife, Lenore (Famke Janssen), to dinner. Although she refused the invitation, she shows up at his apartment revealing her distress over marital problems with her current husband, Stuart (Dougray Scott). She confesses that she affectionately fantasizes of Bryan and wants to kiss Bryan. But Bryan suggests they refrain until her marriage is resolved.Bryan gives Lenore his house key and says that he is going to be away for a month for a job, and she can use the house if she ever needs to be alone.Kim has coffee with Bryan at a cafe to announce her pregnancy but cannot gather the courage to tell the truth to Bryan. She changes the subject and says that she wants to adopt a puppy. Bryan says that having a puppy is no different to having a kid. Later, Stuart visits Bryan and asks him to stay away from Lenore as they attempt to reconcile. Bryan awkwardly agrees. Stuart indicates that he is leaving for Vegas the next day for a business meeting.The following day, Bryan receives a text from Lenore asking to meet him for breakfast and bagels at his apartment. Bryan agrees, returns from the bagel store to his apartment, and discovers her lifeless body in his bedroom. LAPD units immediately appear, based on an anonymous 911 call. They find Bryan sitting next to his ex-wife's dead body with a bloodied knife by his side (which he had found outside his bedroom door). The LAPD try to arrest Bryan, who resists and escapes from the apartment and into the neighborhood. He eventually escapes through a large garage floor drain into the public drainage system. Bryan calls Kim from a public pay phone and informs her that Lenore has been murdered in his apartment and he is the prime suspect. Bryan promises that he will find out who did this.Meanwhile, LAPD Inspector Frank Dotzler (Forest Whitaker) quickly becomes familiar with Bryan's background and organizes a citywide manhunt. Dotzler finds that Lenore had a key to Bryan's apartment. He also notices that Bryan has a gun during his escape and yet never fired at the cops. Stuart returns from Vegas and tells Dotzler that Bryan was pursuing Lenore to rekindle their relationship, and she wanted to tell him to maintain his distance. Kim tells Dotzler that Bryan didn't kill Lenore which he finds odd. Dotzler places a listening device on Kim's sweater.Bryan retreats to a prepared safe house nicknamed "the rabbit hole" that is equipped with weapons and surveillance electronics. Bryan visits the police impound lot and downloads the GPS history of Lenore's car. He figures that Lenore was visiting a peculiar gas station.He retraces Lenore's travels to a remote gas station-convenience store and finds surveillance footage of her abduction into a van by unidentified men with unique hand tattoos. LAPD detectives arrive at the gas station retracing the same data and arrest him before he was done looking at the CCTV footage. While in-transit, Bryan frees himself, commandeers and hijacks the police cruiser, escapes, and downloads phone records from LAPD's investigation database onto a thumb drive. Turns out Bryan let himself be arrested as he wanted to access the LAPD restricted database. Bryan is cornered by Dotzler and his forces, but Bryan drives the car into the lift shaft of a high-rise building where it explodes. Bryan is presumed dead, but he escaped before the car blew up.He contacts Kim at Lenore's funeral via his former covert co-workers and friends instructing her to maintain her "daily routine". She purchases her daily yogurt drink which is marked "Drink Me Now". She ends up feeling nauseous in class and runs to the restroom where Bryan is waiting and surprises her (he had put a nauseating drug in the drink, and now gave her an antidote).Bryan removes a surveillance bug that, unknown to her, was planted by Dotzler. He tells her that he is looking for the real murderer and that she should keep safe. She reveals her pregnancy, and mentions Stuart is acting scared and hired bodyguards which he has never done before.Bryan tails Stuart's car but is ambushed and pursued by another SUV, and his car is pushed over the edge of a cliff. He survives the crash, hijacks a ride, follows the attackers to a roadside liquor store and kills them. Bryan then abducts and interrogates Stuart, who confesses his failure to repay a debt to a former business partner and ex-Spetsnaz operative named Oleg Malankov (Sam Spruell), was the reason Lenore was killed, and he exposed Bryan's identity to Malankov out of jealousy.With assistance from his old teammates and a nervous Stuart, Bryan gains entry to Malankov's heavily secured penthouse. After killing the guards, a furious gun battle, and brutal fight, a mortally wounded Malankov reveals that Stuart tricked them both. Stuart planned Lenore's murder and framed Bryan as part of a business deal to collect on a $12 million insurance policy.When Malankov failed to kill Mills, Stuart used Bryan to kill Malankov and remove all threats. Meanwhile, Stuart shoots Bryan's ally, Sam, and abducts Kim, intending to flee with the money. Under police pursuit, Bryan arrives at the airport in Malankov's Porsche as Stuart's plane is taxiing toward takeoff. After colliding with the plane, Bryan overpowers Stuart and prepares to kill him but pauses at Kim's pleas. He informs Stuart to expect final punishment if he escapes justice or completes a reduced prison sentence. Dotzler and the LAPD arrive to arrest Stuart.Afterwards, Kim and her boyfriend tell Bryan if their unborn baby is a girl, they choose to name her "Lenore". Bryan approves and says, "She'd like that very much".
