Meanwhile Dan was grocery shopping with his youngest son when he was suddenly attacked by a man while the son was sitting in front of him. Dan stopped the man and might hit the child but the man continued to attack him so Dan was forced to fight until he was able to kill him and pay for his deliberate diaper as if nothing had happened.
Dan quickly drove home surprising all his neighbors and opened his secret stash of personal belongings then called his old friend Augie to make him a new persona but now with his whole family because he suspected that the one who was looking for him has found him.
Dan told them to meet in Las Vegas and that’s where he plans to take the family . Then Dan immediately went to the schools Nina‘s daughter he also found out that the daughter no longer attends the editorials club three months that he paid the questioner to point daughter whereabouts.
Nina was surprised to see the father where she was hanging out. Nina even tried to lie when she left as a journalist but the father already knew everything. He also looked for his brother who was in the chess club to go to. Nina admitted that her bother no longer attends the chess club.
She took the father to where Kyle was staying but she warned his brother first but Dan found out that the son was just playing computer games at a friend’s house. Dan scolded him and immediately put him in the car. Next they went to see Jessica who was working as a therapist. She was shocked when she found out that they were going to Las Vegas and that very day.

He also saw downstairs that someone was hovering over them so he hurried her wife to leave. When they were leaving Dan saw a car waiting for them on the way out. He quickly led him astray to escape.
They still followed them so he slightly sped up the sexual intercourse which surprised the family then he made the excuse that he had a short cut he knew they would go through his family had no idea what was going on so Dan tried to run away from those were chasing them without it is obvious because they are always being followed that he first passed by the garage where he was working and raised the car so that he could see the bottom.
He saw there that there was a GPS tracker attached to the bottom. He immediately removed it and hid as they passed. When they left he secretly placed the tracker on his co-worker’s car to mislead the enemies because there they were going to continue their flight without interruption because it would take them 33 hours to reach Las Vegas.
Dan also noticed that his wife using social media that he was sure they could be traced. He took her cellphone even from the children and threw it on the road. They were surprised by what he did but he excused himself to avoid technology while on vacation so that they could be close to each other.
Jessica remembers that they don’t have navigation anymore. Dan goes to a department store to buy a map that can be used. He can’t use a credit card because they can be followed so he pays it in cash while hiding it from the family. When they continue their trip. The son started socializing with them because there were no gadgets to worry about but the truth is that Dan avoided being followed by them through social media.
Meanwhile the man who was looking for Dan is McCaffrey was at their house. He ordered the staff to call all their assassins to look for him. Dan stopped over first so they could rest. Now he is having a problem with how to tell his wife that they will not be coming back to New York.
After he got a room to stay, he caught up with the son who was talking to him and took a picture of him that he was wondering about. Nina said that Kyle is a well-known gamer who has many admirers. Dan was worried about that his son’s picture might be posted so he was forced to leave to get away from the area immediately.
Everyone was asleep because of the long flight except their youngest son Dan noticed that someone was following them on a motorcycle. He turned up the music so they wouldn’t wake up then he prepared for the arrival of the enemies. Dan quickly ran away from the motorcyclists but they caught up with them.

They also went to a famous online games arena that was one of Kyle’s dreams to see. He was recognized by one of the players who will be playing in the finals.
While Dan was planning to tell his wife everything he couldn’t continue because of some distraction. Dan spoke to the waiter in French to leave. Jessica was shocked again that her husband knew many languages until he couldn’t say what he wanted to say.
Kyle was included in the line-up that will play soon as they met where he impressed his teammates with his playing skills. Their parents also currently at the casino enjoying the night. When Dan called the children in their room no one answered him so he sent his wife to check on them.
Jessica saw that the children seemed to be asleep. The couple agreed to perform a miracle but while Jessica was preparing Dan was suddenly shot outside. He immediately hid then killed the armed men. Now his wife was held captive by a former colleague where Jessica found out Dan’s real name and his personality.
