William Keane, played by Damian Lewis, searches for his missing daughter Sophia — played by Abigail Breslin — in the Port Authority Bus Terminal, from which she was abducted several months earlier. He shows a newspaper account to ticket agents and random passersby, but no one recalls seeing the little girl. After spending the night wandering the streets and sleeping along the side of the highway, he returns to the cheap hotel where he lives and finds he is unable to get into his room. The desk clerk tells him his payment is in arrears, and Keane covers the cost of another week’s stay with a disability check.
