Now working in Istanbul, Mills is surprised to receive a visit from Kim as well as his ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen). However any plans to spend time with his family are cut short as an Albanian criminal, whose son was one of the men killed in Paris, abducts Lenore - forcing Mills to take action once again.
