In the beginning of Taken Brian gets a call from his daughter when she gets in Paris. As she is on the phone with Brian she sees her friend Amanda gets taken through the window. Brian tells her to get under the bed and stay there and he knows she is going to be taken. He hears there voice on the phone and now he has to go to Paris to find his daughter. He does not know his way around Paris but he has his two buddies to help him.
Brian faces many challenges throughout his journey in Paris. The first challenge is chasing peter who is the scout for the kidnapping. Before Brian can get peter he gets hit by a bus and gets killed. Brian then finds where the girls were staying and analyzes the scene. After he does
that he then contacts his friend Sam who is an expert on kidnaping that hey where most likely taken by an Albanian human trafficking ring. Brian runs into a construction site and finds a girl wearing Kim’s jacket he fights off the people and takes the girl. The girl gives him enough information to find the Albanians and identifies the kidnapper on the phone as Marko who he wounds and kills the others, after Marko tells him that since she is a virgin she is very valuable. Marko tells Brian where she can be found. Brian goes to auction and finds Amanda being actioned. He makes on of Patrice Saint-Clair men buy her. He then gets captured he gets away and finds out she is on a boat owned by Ramen. He board the boat kills the guard and then shoots Ramen in the head and gets Kim back.
Brian has some flaws of not being there for his daughter enough. He is always at work and never has any time for her. After Kim gets taken he then realizes he could have lost his daughter. He now makes time to be with his daughter and be a dad again. He doesn’t want his daughter to be hurt again. Brian wants to make sure she is safe and he is always present at all the events she has. He wants to be a great father again.
When Brian and Kim get back to the United States Kim is untied with her mother and step father again. They are so happy that Kim is back in her arms safe and unharmed. Lenore Kim’s mother tanks Brian for getting their daughter home safe. Their relationship in now mended and they are on the same terms. That is good for Kim because now her father and mother can get along together without always fighting.
Brian faces all his challenges in many ways. His expertise helps him in all the situations. Brian connects to Odysseus very good. They both face many challenges. They both get trapped a couple times and they always find the enemy’s weakness and plan their attack according to that. In one situation Odysseus finds the Cyclops’s weakness by stabbing it in his eye so he is blind. When Brian gets trapped in the basement he finds that the pipe he gets trapped on it can be broken and sprays hot steam at the attackers and knocks them out. They are pretty much the same.
