Call trace is ready. Kidnappers should be calling in any minute. If you'll excuse me, I have a job to do. - Okay, so listen. - [Audrey] Yes, honey. We got good cheese. We got free iPhones. I'm happy with everything. Where are you going? Did you hear what that guy just said about us? - [Nick] Yeah. - None of that's true! We need to show those people what Nick and Audrey Spitz are all about. The guy's good! I don't think he needs us. - Nick. Audrey. - [both] What? The kidnapper says he'll only talk to the man he shot at. They need us. All right. They need us. - Let's go! - Let's go! [dramatic music playing]

- [Miller] He's calling back in a minute. - Okay. You need to keep him calm, keep him talking. - We need at least-- - Forty-five seconds. - I know. It's not my first rodeo, pal. - You've done hostage negotiation? I'm married to this lady. Everything's a negotiation. I got it. Appreciate it. [cell phone ringing] [tense music playing]

Hi. Kidnapper, how are you? [kidnapper] Is this the man who tried to stop me on my escape? Yes, yes, yes, the man you shot at. Luckily, I got out of the way. [chuckles] Tell me what we can do to get Vik back safely. That's all we really care about. [kidnapper] For the return of the Maharajah, we require $50 million. [splutters] Fifty putos millones? - Sh! - [line clicks] [alarm beeps] Francisco, you think this is The Price Is Right, screaming out numbers? Way too much money for just one guy. Great. Just lost the trace. Thanks. - It's my fault? This guy's yelling shit-- - Why are you yelling at me? - You were directing at me-- - I yelled at that guy! The guy's hammered right now, and I'm catching shit for it! There's the "taking-a-toll-on-the-marriage" thing. Excuse me! At least we are married. Yeah. Calm down. This is how we communicate. We're from New York. Can we remain calm? - I'm sorry. Of course. - We're calm. He wants the money. He's gonna call back. - [Audrey] Relax. - [Nick] Yup. - [phone ringing] - [Nick] Here we go. Okay. - [Miller] Here we go. - Got this! Forty-five seconds starts again now. Sorry about that, man. A lot of anxious people here. One drunk guy. We all got that friend. [kidnapper] The price just went up to 60. [groaning] They say, "Great. No problem." [kidnapper] You will bring $60 million in untraceable bearer bonds to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow night and wait with this phone for further instructions. Hello, excuse me. I'm so sorry to interrupt. But we are going to need unequivocal evidence that the hostage is still alive. [kidnapper] You will receive proof of life before the exchange. - Cool. - Thank you very much. [kidnapper] Arc de Triomphe, 8:00 p.m., or the Maharajah dies.

The voice jumbling thing you got on your... It's hard to understand you. - The location, yes. - Can you do that again? Where is it? - [kidnapper] Arc de Triomphe. - [Nick] This is what you sound like... [Nick imitating distorted voice] - [Nick] That's what we hear. - [kidnapper] Arc de Triomphe! Okay, so Arctic Tree Hump.

Got it. You said that, right? [kidnapper] The price just went up to 70 now! [sobbing] [kidnapper] Seventy million, or the Maharajah dies a painful death. Muhammad Ali dies, you say? - [kidnapper] Oh my God! - [disconnects] You just cost us 20 extra million, you doofus! I don't want these buffoons involved. I'm afraid the kidnapper does, so we're stuck with them. They did it. Got the trace. - We did? - Aha! - See? Team Buffoon wins again! - Thank you! You can go back in the ocean now, Miller. We got this. We're going to Paris. Everybody pack. Be ready to leave in one hour. ♪ Paris, Paris, Paris Paris, Paris, Paris... ♪ ["Mermaids Club" by The Brave Mermaids playing]

- Can't believe that happened. - We're not getting them back. I had a dick pic on mine, but that's gone. [Miller] Let's not obsess about phones. The only important phone is the one the kidnapper will call on. Here. I set it up so we can hear everything. I'm gonna need one of you to be armed. - Mr. Spitz, can you handle a gun? - [Nick] Yes. - I told you, I was on the force. What? - Um... [hesitates] I just think maybe I should handle it. - You should handle it? - Just-- - Why would that-- - Your aim is-- My aim? My aim is fine. - Why are you saying this? - He can't hear-- That's like me saying you wear Spanx in front of a supermodel. So, uh, I'll take the gun 'cause I'm very good with a gun. They used to call me "Nicky Guns" on the force. That was my nickname. Gang members used to ask me for advice on the weekends 'cause I shot so well. I'd say, "I can't. I don't wanna help you guys." You take the gun. I'll take the gun. I got the phone, and you got the money. When they call, I want you to follow the three rules of ransom drops from Chapter 12 of my book. Can you do that? Remember what they are? Number one. Um, follow all reasonable instructions. - Yes. - [Audrey] Number two. Do not hand off the ransom until you see the kidnappee. [Miller] Exactly. And number three. Do not go to a secondary location with them.

You gotta tell me who on earth ever called you "Nicky Guns." You gotta tell me who didn't call me that. Everybody called me that. This is the heaviest goddamn case of money I've ever felt. Why couldn't they Venmo? This thing weighs... My hands are killing me. I'm gonna go two hands. Does that look weird? - [Audrey] Your hands are cute. - [Nick] "Cute"? What does that mean? - You have cute hands. - Your family has orangutan ha-- You grew up thinking giant hands are normal. [Audrey] I never said dainty hands. I said it's weird to high-five you 'cause your hands are little. [Nick] They're average hands. - Your grandmother can palm a bulldog. - [Audrey] Oh, please. [phone ringing] Shit, shit, shit. That's the phone. Okay, here we go. Initiate the trace. Hi. Bonjour, uh, madame or mademoiselle or monsieur. Go ahead. [Vik] Nick, it's me! [screams] [Nick] Rajah! You okay? So we got the money, and we just need to know where to bring it. So tell us, and we'll get you out of there. - [Vik yelps] - What happened? [kidnapper] You have your proof of life. Now take the money to the van at the curb. Okay. - Wh-- Wh-- What van? - Van? What van are we talking about? That van there? [kidnapper] Don't point, you idiot! Just casually walk in that direction. Okay. Okay. I'm coming. [kidnapper] Anything out of the ordinary, and the Maharajah dies. Don't do that. Okay, we're coming.

Oh shit. Get in the van. We'll give you the money in exchange for the Maharajah. He's not far. Get in the van. - Don't get in the van! - [Claudette speaking French] - That wasn't part of the deal. - Number three. Don't get in the van. Get in the van, or I'll shoot you both in the stomach, take you to the countryside, and feed you to the swine. - Okay. Let's get in the van. - Okay, okay, okay. Okay, sorry. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
