5. The Trap Expands
Sofia Rossi receives a phone call that changes everything. Alessandro's voice pleads for her to come to New York for an urgent business matter, but every detail feels wrong—shared cryptocurrency wallets that don't exist, spelling errors he would never make, answers that don't match their intimate history. Despite her suspicions, Sofia contacts the FBI and flies to New York, where the massive driver sent to collect her confirms her worst fears.
When she arrives at the SoHo apartment, Sofia finds Alessandro broken and brutalized, bearing electrical burns from days of torture. Marcus Sterling no longer bothers with pretense—Sofia isn't here for business authorization, she's here to be leverage against the man she loves. But as Marcus celebrates doubling his hostages, he fails to realize he's just doubled his problems. Two brilliant engineers working together are exponentially more dangerous than one engineer working alone.

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.759
Previously on crypto kidnap. Alessandro Romano discovered that his captors
2
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:10.359
had corrupt police protection when Detective Ray Morrison, the same
3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.279
officer who had unknowingly driven him from the airport, casually
4
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:18.480
checked in with Marcus Sterling. As the scope of the
5
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:23.440
criminal network became clear, Alessandro's desperate attempt to buy time
6
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.559
backfired catastrophically, putting his girlfriend Sophia directly in Marcus's crosshairs.

Content warning, This series contains descriptions of violence and psychological torture.

If you need support, please contact local authorities or crisis helplines.
9
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:48.759
Remember if something feels wrong, trust your instincts and seek
10
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:49.600
help immediately.

Calaruga Shark Media.
12
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:06.079
Sophia Rossi hadn't slept properly in six days. She sat
13
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.840
in her Milan apartment at three seventeen am, staring at
14
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.439
her laptop screen and refreshing news websites for any mention
15
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:18.599
of Alessandro's name. The police had been polite, but ultimately unhelpful.
16
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:24.599
Missing persons cases involving international travel are complex, they'd explained,
17
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.319
He's an adult. He told you he was going to
18
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.000
New York for business. Perhaps he simply decided to extend
19
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:37.640
his stay. But Alessandro would never just disappear, not without calling,
20
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:43.200
not without explaining. They'd been together for two years and
21
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:47.159
he was the most considerate person she'd ever known. Something
22
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.719
terrible had happened to him. Her phone rang, jolting her
23
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:58.159
from her desperate web searching unknown number international. She answered
24
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:07.719
on the first ring, Sophia, Thank god. Alessandro's voice weak, strained,
25
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:16.800
but unmistakably him. Sophia's heart exploded with relief. Alessandro, where
26
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.879
are you? What happened? I've been calling everyone, the police,
27
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:26.759
the embassy. I'm okay, he interrupted, though he didn't sound okay.
28
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:32.199
I'm still in New York. There's been a complication with
29
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:40.599
the business deal. This is Crypto Kidnap, Episode five. The
30
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:59.520
trap expands. I need you to come here. Something in
31
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:07.080
his voice made Sophia pause, a quality she'd never heard before. Fear, maybe,
32
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:15.159
or exhaustion. Come to New York, Alessandro, what's wrong? You
33
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.520
sound terrible. I can't explain over the phone. It's too complicated,
34
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:25.240
But Sophia, I need you here. There's a problem with
35
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.960
our shared investments, something that requires both of our authorizations.
36
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:35.800
Shared investments. We don't have any shared investments. A pause
37
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:41.439
too long. The cryptocurrency wallets, the ones we set up
38
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:46.879
for the Milan project. Sophia's blood turned cold. They'd never
39
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.759
set up shared cryptocurrency wallets. Alessandro was meticulous about financial security.
40
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.719
He would never have given her access to his crypto
41
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:02.159
holdings without extensive discussion and documentation. Alessandro, she said, carefully,
42
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:11.400
what's my middle name? Another pause, longer this time, I, Sophia,
43
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:17.480
I don't have time for games. This is urgent. Sophia
44
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.959
closed her eyes. Alessandro knew her middle name was Elena.
45
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.480
He'd helped her celebrate Saint Elena's Day three months ago.
46
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:31.399
Whatever was happening, whoever was speaking, this wasn't a normal conversation.
47
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.319
Where exactly are you staying, she asked. The details are
48
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:43.160
in the email. I'm sending you flight information, hotel everything, Sophia, Please,
49
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:48.040
I need you here by tomorrow night. The line went dead.
50
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:53.079
Sophia stared at her phone, her mind racing. That had
51
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.439
been Alessandro's voice. She was certain of it, but everything
52
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:01.800
else about the conversation felt wrong. The shared investments that
53
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:06.560
didn't exist, the urgent time line, the way he'd avoided
54
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.800
her test question. Her laptop chimed with an incoming email,
55
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:18.600
subject urgent NYC travel details from al Romano dot developer
56
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:23.319
at gmail dot com. Sophia, sorry for the rushed call.
57
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.360
Situation here more complex than expected. Forwarding your flight details.
58
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.519
First class ticket attached car will meet you at JFK.
59
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.600
Driver will have your name staying at the Prince Street property,
60
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.480
high security building. Very discreet, don't contact anyone else about
61
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:47.120
this trip. Business confidentiality critical for deal closure. Love you A.
62
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:53.560
The email felt wrong in a dozen different ways. Alessandro
63
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.959
never abbreviated his name as a. He always signed emails
64
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.879
with his full name or Alessandro, and discreet was spelled incorrectly.
65
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:09.720
Alessandro was obsessive about spelling and grammar. But attached to
66
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:13.120
the email was a legitimate looking first class ticket on
67
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:21.279
Alitalia departure tomorrow afternoon from Milan Malpensa to JFK, value
68
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:25.920
eight four hundred euros. Someone had paid serious money to
69
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:30.279
get her to New York Quickly. Sophia spent the next
70
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.920
hour trying to call Alessandro back. The number went straight
71
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:39.439
to voicemail, a generic recording, not his personal message. She
72
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:45.920
tried his regular phone, his backup phone, even his work contacts. Nothing.
73
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.560
She called the hotel listed in the email the Prince
74
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:56.000
Street address. I'm sorry, the receptionist said, but we don't
75
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.600
have any guest by that name registered. Because it wasn't
76
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:04.199
a hotel, Sophia realized as she researched the address online.
77
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.240
One hundred twenty seven Prince Street was a luxury residential building,
78
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.759
private apartments, not commercial lodging. Someone was lying to her.
79
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.759
The question was whether it was Alessandro under duress or
80
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:25.199
someone else entirely using his voice. Either way, Sophia knew
81
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:31.639
she had to go. If Alessandro was in trouble, kidnapped, threatened, coerced,
82
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.120
he might have no other way to signal for help
83
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.959
except through a phone call that sounded wrong in every detail.
84
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.000
If someone else was impersonating him, then Alessandro might already
85
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.040
be dead and she would be walking into the same trap.
86
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.519
But she couldn't live with herself if she stayed in
87
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:54.399
Milan while Alessandro needed help in New York. She considered
88
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:59.399
booking a different flight, changing airlines, taking control of her
89
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:04.040
travel rings. But if Alessandro really was in trouble and
90
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:09.040
being monitored. Any deviation from the planned itinerary might put
91
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.560
him in greater danger. She had to assume his captors
92
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:17.959
were watching every detail. She also did something else, something
93
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.879
that would save both their lives, though she didn't know
94
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:39.639
it yet. She called the FBI. Twenty four hours later,
95
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.039
Sophia Rossi stood in the arrivals terminal at JFK International Airport,
96
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:48.159
watching other passengers reunite with loved ones and wondering if
97
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.000
she was about to die. The FBI agent she'd spoken with,
98
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:58.519
Special Agent Jennifer Walsh, had been professional but cautious. We're
99
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.559
aware of your boyfriend's disappear pearance, Walsh had said, We're
100
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:08.519
investigating several cryptocurrency related kidnapping cases with similar patterns. Miss Rossi,
101
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:12.120
if you're planning to travel to New York, please coordinate
102
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.960
with our office. We may be able to provide protection.
103
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.159
But Sophia had boarded her flight before the FBI could
104
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:24.360
arrange security. She couldn't wait for bureaucratic procedures while Alessandro
105
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:29.559
might be suffering. Now, standing in JFK with her carry
106
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:33.320
on bag and a growing sense of dread, she scanned
107
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.159
the crowd for the driver Alessandro's email had mentioned a
108
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:40.480
man in a dark suit held a sign reading s
109
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:47.320
Rosi near the ground transportation area. Sophia approached carefully. I'm
110
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:51.799
Sophia Rossi. The man was enormous, easily six and a
111
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.519
half feet tall, with the build of someone who spent
112
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.639
serious time in the gym. His accent was thick Eastern
113
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.600
European MS Rossi. I am Victor. Mister Romano sent me
114
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:08.679
to collect you. Victor, not a name Alessandro had ever mentioned.
115
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:15.519
Sophia smiled politely while her internal alarm system screamed warnings.
116
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:19.200
How is Alessandro, she asked. As Victor took her back.
117
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:23.000
He is well eager to see you. The car is
118
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:27.000
this way. Victor led her toward a black SUV parked
119
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:32.000
in the passenger pickup zone. As they walked, Sophia noticed
120
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.840
things that made her blood pressure spike. Victor's jacket was
121
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.919
tailored to conceal something bulky under his left arm, likely
122
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.240
a shoulder holster. His movements were too controlled, too professional
123
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:49.200
for a normal car service driver. But most troubling was
124
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:53.279
what he didn't do. He didn't make small talk, didn't
125
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:57.639
ask about her flight, didn't offer any details. About Alessandro's
126
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:04.480
condition or location. Ffessional drivers usually chatted kidnappers, Sophia imagined,
127
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:11.600
probably didn't. Actually, Sophia said, stopping near the suv, I
128
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.840
need to use the restroom. First airport coffee, you know.
129
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:21.519
Victor's expression darkened slightly. Mister Romano was expecting you. We
130
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:25.879
should not delay. It'll just take a minute, Sophia insisted,
131
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.080
already backing toward the terminal, I'll be right back. Victor
132
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.080
moved to follow her, but Sophia was quicker. She ducked
133
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.360
back into the crowded terminal and immediately pulled out her phone.
134
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.799
Special Agent wallsh answered on the second ring. This is
135
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.200
Sophia Rossi, she whispered, hiding behind a Hudson news KIOSK.
136
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:54.639
I'm at JFK the driver they sent. Something's wrong. I
137
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:59.440
think Alessandro is in serious trouble. Missus Rossi, where are you?
138
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:04.600
Exactly Terminal four, near the baggage claim. The driver is
139
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:07.480
a man named Victor, six and a half feet tall,
140
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:14.120
Eastern European accent, driving a black suv. He's armed. Stay
141
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.519
exactly where you are, Walsh said, do not go with
142
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.440
that man. Federal agents are en route to your location.
143
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.879
But when Sophia looked back toward the pickup area, Victor
144
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:30.360
was gone. The black suv had disappeared. Her phone buzzed
145
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.840
with a text from an unknown number. Change of plans.
146
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:38.159
Take taxi to one twenty seven Prince Street, Apartment two
147
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:44.000
A come alone or Alessandro dies. Sophia stared at the message,
148
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:49.360
her hands shaking. No more pretense, no more fake concern
149
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:53.679
for her comfort or safety, just a direct threat. She
150
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:57.240
could wait for the FBI agents, let them handle the
151
00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:04.000
situation professionally, safely by the book. Alessandro might die while
152
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:07.120
she waited for backup, but at least she would survive
153
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.000
to mourn him. Or she could get in a taxi
154
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.840
and walk into whatever trap was waiting at one twenty
155
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:17.360
seven Prince Street. Probably die alongside the man she loved,
156
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.080
but at least try to save him first. Sophia had
157
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:28.080
always been practical, methodical, careful, but Alessandro had taught her
158
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.919
that some risks were worth taking, that innovation required the
159
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:36.440
courage to venture into unknown territory. She walked outside and
160
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:40.960
hailed a taxi one twenty seven Prince Street. She told
161
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:45.440
the driver soho as the taxi pulled away, from JFK.
162
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.559
Sophia sent one final text to Agent Walsh, can't wait
163
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.799
going to one twenty seven Prince Street apartment to a
164
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.320
if you don't hear from me in two hours, Alessandro
165
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.440
Romano is being held there. She turned and off her
166
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:04.399
phone and settled back in the seat, watching New York
167
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:08.960
City blur past the windows. In ninety minutes, she would
168
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.000
either be dead or wish she was, but Alessandro was
169
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:30.600
worth the risk. The brownstone at one twenty seven Prince
170
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.720
Street looked exactly like the kind of place Alessandro would
171
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:39.960
choose for a business meeting. Elegant, expensive, sophisticated, the kind
172
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:45.440
of address that suggested serious money and legitimate enterprise. Sophia
173
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.559
paid the taxi driver and stood on the sidewalk for
174
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:54.519
a moment, studying the building's facade. Third floor windows were
175
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:57.919
covered with what looked like decorative metalwork but might have
176
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:03.320
been security bars. No obvious signs of distress or criminal activity.
177
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:09.080
Maybe she was wrong, Maybe Alessandro really was conducting complex
178
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:14.159
business negotiations that required her presence. Maybe the stress of
179
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:19.200
his disappearance had made her paranoid about perfectly innocent circumstances.
180
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:23.000
She climbed the front steps and found apartment two A
181
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:27.559
on the building directory. No security cameras visible in the lobby,
182
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:36.960
no doorman or concierge. She pressed the buzzer Sophia. Alessandro's
183
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.919
voice through the intercom clearer than it had sounded on
184
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:45.039
the phone. It's me, she said. The door buzzed open,
185
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.759
and Sophia climbed two flights of stairs to apartment two A.
186
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:55.240
The hallway was expensively decorated, but eerily quiet. No sounds
187
00:15:55.240 --> 00:16:01.000
from other apartments, no evidence of neighbors. The apartment door
188
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:05.120
opened before she could knock. Alessandro stood in the doorway,
189
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:09.720
and Sophia's heart broke. He looked like he'd aged ten
190
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:14.000
years in a week. His face was gaunt, his eyes hollow.
191
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.919
His clothes were wrinkled and stained. Most disturbing were the
192
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:23.840
small circular marks on his visible skin burns. Sophia realized
193
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:33.000
electrical burns. Alessandro, she whispered, reaching for him, don't he said, quietly,
194
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:40.200
just come inside. Slowly. Sophia stepped into the apartment and
195
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:44.879
immediately understood why Alessandro looked so broken. This wasn't a
196
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:53.039
business meeting location. It was a crime scene. The luxury
197
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:56.679
furnishings couldn't disguise the smell of fear and suffering that
198
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:02.360
permeated the space, broken glass in one corner, stains on
199
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:06.440
the hardwood floor that looked suspiciously like blood, And in
200
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:10.160
the center of the main room, a man she didn't recognize,
201
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:16.279
sitting calmly in an expensive chair. Sophia Rossi, the man said,
202
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:22.160
standing up with a welcoming smile. I'm Marcus Sterling, Alessandro's
203
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.839
business partner. Thank you so much for coming. Sophia looked
204
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:32.519
between Marcus and Alessandro, trying to understand the dynamic. Alessandro's
205
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:41.079
body language screamed terror and submission. Marcus radiated control and satisfaction. Alessandro,
206
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:47.680
Sophia said, carefully, are you all right? He's fine, Marcus answered,
207
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:53.400
before Alessandro could speak. Just tired. We've been working around
208
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:57.440
the clock on some very complex technical problems. I was
209
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:02.160
asking Alessandro, and I'm telling you that Alessandro is fine,
210
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:08.599
Marcus replied, his smile never wavering, aren't you brother? Alessandro
211
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:14.799
nodded mechanically. I'm fine, Sophia, thank you for coming. The
212
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:19.799
words were right, but everything else was wrong. Alessandro's posture,
213
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:25.039
his tone, the way he avoided making eye contact. This
214
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:28.640
was a man who had been broken. What kind of
215
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:33.279
business meeting requires electrical burns, Sophia asked, pointing to the
216
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:38.079
circular marks on Alessandro's neck. Marcus's smile faltered for just
217
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:45.000
a moment. Electrical burns. I'm a nurse, Sophia said, I
218
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.880
know what electrical burns look like. The room fell silent.
219
00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:54.319
Marcus studied Sophia with new interest, like a scientist examining
220
00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:59.839
an unexpected variable in his experiment. Victor Marcus called toward
221
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:04.200
the back of the apartment, please join us. The enormous
222
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.920
man from the airport appeared, moving with surprising quiet for
223
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:12.559
his size. He positioned himself between Sophia and the apartment door,
224
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:19.000
blocking any potential escape route. Sit down, Sophia, Marcus said,
225
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.519
his voice no longer friendly. We need to have a
226
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:29.480
conversation about cryptocurrency, portfolios and mutual cooperation. Sophia remained, standing,
227
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:36.519
where's your bathroom? Excuse me, your bathroom. I've been traveling
228
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:39.400
for twelve hours. Unless you want me to have an
229
00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:43.200
accident on your expensive furniture, I need to use your bathroom.
230
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.440
Marcus studied her for a moment, then nodded to Victor.
231
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:53.359
Escort miss Rossi to the facilities. Stay with her, stay
232
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:57.680
with me. Sophia's voice rose, what kind of business meeting?
233
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:04.039
The kind where everyone fallows instructions carefully, Marcus interrupted, Victor,
234
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:08.160
will wait outside the door. You have two minutes. Victor
235
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:12.160
led Sophia down a hallway to a small bathroom. Two minutes,
236
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:17.279
he repeated in his thick accent, no longer. Sophia closed
237
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:21.400
the bathroom door and immediately pulled out her phone, still
238
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:24.680
turned off from the taxi ride, She powered it on
1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.759
2
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:10.359
3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.279
4
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:18.480
5
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:23.440
6
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.559
7
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:38.000
8
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:43.320
9
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:48.759
10
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:49.600
11
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:55.880
12
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:06.079
13
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.840
14
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.439
15
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:18.599
16
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:24.599
17
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.319
18
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.000
19
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:37.640

00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:43.200

00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:58.159

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:07.719
25
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:16.800
26
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.879

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.520
34
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:25.240

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.960

00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:35.800
