Murad pulls out a picture of Mirko, his son (the one Bryan killed by sticking him with the nails hooked to battery cables, electrocuting him until his heart burst). Murad shows him pictures of the last film's villains, all of whom died at Bryan's hands. He is forced to hang up and hide the device as Murad comes in. After she gets out of the closet, Bryan tells her to get a grenade and toss it out the window onto a parking garage and to let him hear the explosion so he knows how close she is and where she can find him. He tries Kim again, and she tells him that she's safe. While he is alone, he takes out another hidden cellular phone and tries to call his friend Sam ( Leland Orser) but gets no answer.

At the villain's hideout, Bryan is by his wrists using a zip tie to a pipe. Security guards notice them, but the thugs kill them. Kim leaves the pool and heads to her room, then walks out the window to the next room where she hides in Bryan's closet before the other thugs come in to find her.

After he hangs up, he breaks the phone and they brutally assault him, and then capture him and Lenore. She is scared, but he tells her where to go to be safe because he knows they'll look for her too. He then calls Kim back and informs her that he and her mother are about to be taken.

However, one of them brings Lenore captured. A few Albanian thugs corner Bryan and he immediately begins to beat them up. Lenore gets trapped and can't make it out. He tries calling Kim, but she is swimming in the hotel pool and doesn't hear her phone. She gets out of the car and runs away while Bryan takes the car from the driver.

He tells the driver to go a certain route and begins telling Lenore to go back to his hotel room to be safe. However, during the ride, Bryan senses danger. She mentions how Lenore described her relationship with Bryan before having Kim as being "magical." The next day, Bryan and Lenore allow Kim to go off and have fun while they take a ride through the area from a local taxi driver. He asks if she loves him, but she doesn't know yet. At night, Bryan and Kim take a ride on a boat on the Bostrophes, and Bryan not-so-subtly asks about her boyfriend Jamie ( Luke Grimes). Kim and Lenore are staying in the next room.

In his room, Bryan pulls out a trunk full of weapons. He starts to leave a message, only to be surprised by her and Kim. When he gets there, he stops at his hotel and makes a phone call to Lenore. Meanwhile, the Albanians arrive in Istanbul via a mountain pass as they await Bryan's arrival. Bryan suggests that she and Kim join him in Istanbul, but Lenore says she doesn't want to impose. The next day, Bryan goes to visit Lenore, only to find her crying because she has been fighting with Stuart, her husband, and as a result, he canceled their planned trip to China. The villains will later discover that Bryan is headed to Istanbul, Turkey, on personal business. In Paris, France, the Albanians break into the home of Bryan's friend Jean-Claude and torture him for information on Bryan's whereabouts, but Jean-Claude has no idea. Kim is not happy that Bryan is still overprotective of her even after three years (since the events of the first film when she was kidnapped by Albanian human traffickers). He interrupts their make-out session and has Kim leave so she can continue practicing driving (she is now 18 years old and failed her road test twice already).

He drives over to the boyfriend's house using a GPS he furtively put in Kim's phone. Bryan is clearly not thrilled to hear that. Lenore tells Bryan she is with her boyfriend. He goes to the home of his ex-wife Lenore ( Famke Janssen) to see their daughter Kim ( Maggie Grace).

Their leader, Murad Krasniqi ( Rade Serbedzija), tells them that they will have their revenge, and they will kill Bryan Mills ( Liam Neeson). The funeral is attended by the Albanian mafia where several armed men stand over the graves of their fallen brothers. The film opens with a funeral taking place in the small village of Tropoje, Albania.The synopsis below may give away important plot points.
