The investigation gets a good throttling when Benjamin Rand, Leopold's maternal grandfather, gets wind of the kidnapping and takes charge with iron-fist tactics. He sets up Conrad to be arrested and out of the way while having Lucian and Latimer removed from the case. As Benjamin negotiates with James Devere for the return of his grandson, Conrad blackmails Benjamin for Lucian's and Latimer's reinstatements. As a forty million dollar exchange gets underway for Leopold's return, a creeping unease grows between Lucian and Latimer: this isn't a kidnapping - it's something far more personal.
