His friend, Richard Fink, receives an invitation from a billion, Javi. It pays well, so Nick agrees to meet the billionaire to be his guest in the party. Javi indeed is a big fan of Nick's films, so they hit it off right away. Nick is approached by CIA agents telling him that Javi is a kidnapper who has kidnapped daughter of a Catalan politician. Nick feels bad for the daughter, so he agrees to help by prying on Javi. Nick feels like he is doing a good job, because having a good acting skill would make him a good spy. He is bonding with Javi while collecting information from him. Javi figures out Nick misses his family, so he make up a reason and ask Nick's wife and daughter to come here.
