INT. LONDON CASINO, NIGHT. The place is active, with beautiful people and lots of noise. The CAMERA moves through the crowd until we come up behind a beautiful woman having a good time playing Baccarat. A WAITER in a white jacket leans forward and whispers in the woman's ear.
The WOMAN gives MOSS a hard look and then turns to the WAITER, still with an edge to her voice. 
He hands her a wireless phone. KLUM removes an earring and puts the phone to her ear.
She turns off the phone and hands it back to the WAITER. SHE turns on a smile and pushes her chips towards the croupier.
SHE gives him a kiss.
The MAN wants to argue but she doesn't give him a chance as she walks away.
KLUM walks through the Casino responding to a dozen greetings.
At the door a CLERK presents her with a check for her chips a BUTLER holds her coat for her.
EXT. CLUB, NIGHT. Klum steps outside just as her silver sports car comes to a stop. She steps into the car and drives off.
EXT. LONDON STREET, NIGHT. KLUM'S sports car moves quickly through traffic.
INT. SPORTS CAR. CONT. KLUM presses a button on the dash. A panel flips over and reveals a computer screen.
EXT. STREET, NIGHT KLUM takes a turn and heads for the Thames.
INT. OUTER OFFICE, N/A. PENNY, a post middle aged woman is sitting at her desk when the hat flies through the room and hooks onto the coat rack. PENNY gives a nervous jump.
PENNY desperately reaches under the desk for the button. When she pushes it the MINISTER'S outer door opens.
KLUM straightens up and walks through the doorway. PENNY takes a few breaths to get herself under control but then smiles.
INT. MINISTER'S OFFICE, CONT.
LEE tosses a folder across the desk. Inside are modeling pictures of KLUM and love letters attached.
LEE pushes across another file.
KLUM looks up.
KLUM isn't sure how to answer that.
KLUM gives a small smile and turns to go.
KLUM shrugs and goes out.
INT. HALLWAY, LATER. KLUM is walking down the hall (wearing her hat)
KLUM flexes her left hand with it's long finger nails. SHE plunges the finger nails into his eyes. DALTON springs back. KLUM gives a karate chop to his Adam's apple. She kicks out and he goes down. More people come out of the office, one clapping.
KLUM pushes open a door.
HE pulls a make-up case from a rack, reads a number, writes the number on a clip board and turns the clipboard around for KLUM to sign. She signs and then presses her thumb at the end of the line.
CU, the paper is embedded with electronic fibers.
KLUM takes the case.
KLUM turns and seems to be in a hurry to leave when,
HE opens a drawer and pulls out a heavy steel case. He opens it to reveal a tiny metallic string bikini consisting of three small triangles.
KLUM looks at the CAMERA.
INT. APARTMENT, NIGHT. KLUM unlocks the door and comes in. A MAN wraps his arms around KLUM from behind.
KLUM locks her feet in his legs and they both go flying forward. KLUM lands on HEDISON'S chest.
SHE kisses him.
FADE TO
EXT. ANKARA AIRPORT, DAY. The plane lands.
EXT. AIRPORT, DAY. KLUM takes a look at the dreary city of ANKARA.
EXT. HOTEL, DAY. KLUM gets out of her taxi as the bellman gets her bags.
INT. HOTEL ENTRANCE, DAY. KLUM is crossing the entrance to the desk when a black MAN (ERIC) comes flying across the room.
INT. HOTEL, ROOM. KLUM opens her briefcase from which she pulls sheets of official documents with Vogue Italy as the letterhead.
(Thinks for a moment.)
EXT. PUBLIC SQUARE, DAY.
The people wander away except for one young man (ALI). When ERIC and KLUM begin to leave the boy walks past KLUM and whispers to her while handing her a note.
KLUM does not look at the note or the boy.
INT. HOTEL ROOM, DAY. KLUM unfolds the note, it has an address and a time, and also a phone number. She dials the phone number.
she hangs up.
INT. RESTAURANT, NIGHT.
(The next day he passes more information to her by putting it with her things while she is modeling. She sends the information to London and they send back a shopping list. She communicates the shopping list to Ali. He says some of the information will be difficult to get but he can manage it in a few weeks. KLUM says she doesn't have a few weeks. Her visa is for just one week and the government won't really want them to stay much past that. ALI says that it will not be so difficult for him to get the information but it will be difficult for him to remove so much information from the Ministry. KLUM arranges to shoot photos in the lobby in two days.
INT. LOBBY OF MINISTRY, DAY.
As they pack up their stuff the GUARDS and the MEN close in. KLUM tells ERIC that they're in trouble. THEY make a run for it, followed by ALI. Ali manages to trip up the pursuers.
When KLUM sees ALI following them she wants to know why, they weren't chasing him.
KLUM isn't pleased. They are chased through town until ERIC comes around a corner and spots two Mopeds. He hops on one and shouts to KLUM. KLUM jumps on the other. ALI is insulted by the tiny bike. KLUM is glad because that means she doesn't have to carry him. They zip off and the pursuers close on ALI He yells to KLUM that he's changed his mind. SHE slows so he can get on. The PURSUERS find a car and the chase continues.
BUT the Mopeds can make it through the crowd easier. But they need to get to the airport or to hide. ALI has a place. It belongs to a cousin. They go there and it is a warehouse.
INT. WAREHOUSE, CONT. They ride in and ALI tells the men to close the doors. The men gather around ALI to question him ALI goes off with them. KLUM recognizes two of the six men as being in the Secret Service files as Islamic Militants.
KLUM whispers to ERIC to be ready to leave. KLUM calls to ALI in English [she is careful not to use Arabic in front of the other Arabs.]. ALI comes over looking very pleased with himself. KLUM whispers to him that he doesn't know what he's gotten himself into. ALI slaps KLUM back handed and three of the men hold her down the other three hold ERIC. ALI begins a tirade, calling KLUM a slut and a whore, and a bunch of anti western stuff. It seems that ALI set this whole thing up so he could kidnap a famous American so they can show the world how serious they are and get America to remove itself from the world. Etc., etc. [Don't worry if it doesn't make sense.] Klum says that ERIC doesn't have any part of this ALI agrees to let ERIC go. One of the MEN walks ERIC to the door. The MAN peaks outside to see that the coast is clear then opens the door wider for ERIC to leave. ERIC hates to leave KLUM she insists. ERIC has stepped through with one foot when ALI shoots him from across the room in the back of the head. ERIC falls just outside the door. The man at the door kicks ERIC'S feet into the street and locks the door behind him.
ALI and the men roll KLUM up into a rug. KLUM manages to scratch ALI and one of the other men but gets kicked for her trouble. Once the carpet is rolled up they tie it with twine place it on the back of a truck and
make for Damascus.
KLUM is awake and taking note of her trip the best she can.
IN DAMASCUS ALI and the truck go to his uncle's house. They call Ali's Uncle at the capital and
he comes home.
ALI and ABBASSAD talk upstairs while KLUM is left on the ground floor.
ABBASSAD is furious. ALI thinks he has done something to impress his Uncle. KLUM is famous. She will be on the nightly news, and every magazine and newspaper cover. They can't ignore them like they did when they captured that Pearl man, and they won't forget. KLUM is a perfect example of decadent Americans. ABBASSAD yells at ALI, she's not an American, she's German. Ali doesn't know where Germany is. ABBASSAD tries to explain that KLUM will bring too much attention to them, and will be particularly bad for Syria. ALI doesn't care about Syria, he is fighting for a greater Islamic state. One free of American influences. [1600th century state]. ABBASSAD tries one last time. He tells ALI that KLUM is not a reporter, or a politician or a tourist, she is a supermodel. And there are lots of men in America, with guns. Who hate their government and their neighbors and are just looking for a good reason to start shooting people, just like in Syria. And these men lust after Klum and they will come here to kill Ali and rescue Klum by the hundreds and thousands.
ALI still doesn't get it ABBASSAD shoots him.
ALI was really stupid, that's why his uncle sent him to Ankara.
