Taken[]
Apparently Gilles and Bryan met when Bryan was still working for the CIA and the two became acquaintances. When Bryan goes to hunt for his missing daughter, Kim, who had been kidnapped by sex traffickers in Paris, Bryan rescues a girl who he thinks may have seen Kim from a brothel. He steals a car and goes to Gilles' hotel to rent a room. It is here that the audience is shown that the two are friends. Bryan gives the girl medicine and asks where she got his daughter's jacket. She is unable to help much except give him the address where she was taken.
