Jeff's team has an agreement with the kidnappers, but the amount of money is not enough for them. Jeff and Stephanie plan to escape through the window, and they start preparing disguises and bending the bars. The kidnappers are partying and not checking on Jeff and Stephanie, which gives them the opportunity to escape. After successfully escaping through the window, Jeff and Stephanie wait for the right time to leave the compound. They carefully navigate the area, avoiding dogs and waiting for the traffic to die down. They make their way out of the compound and walk slowly to blend in with the locals. However, their plan takes an unexpected turn when they encounter two gangsters. Jeff and Stephanie try to convince them to help, but ultimately, they are sold out to another gang. They are taken back to the compound and placed in a room with other captives.
