Question: How did the Albanian traffickers manage to gain entry into Amanda's apartment building so quickly?

Avenlane

Answer: It's not shown, but they could have picked the lock or broken in by force, taking Amanda by surprise before she could react. They may simply have knocked on the door, and Amanda opened it. Also, the girls might have been careless and left the door unlocked. These guys were ruthless and highly experienced at snatching young girls, so there are any number of possibilities.

Question: When Sam is speaking with Bryan and Lenore on the phone at Stuart's mansion, he says the one Bryan spoke to over the phone is named Marko. How was Sam able to confirm that Bryan was indeed speaking to Marko?

Avenlane

Answer: The trick is, they are all called Marko, as Bryan finds out when he meets them. "Marko" is just a cover name for them all to hide their identities. Sam knew this was part of the gang's signature, although failing to mention the name wouldn't help further.

Answer: Sam likely used voice recognition software to identify Marko's voice on the recording Bryan made while he was still on the cell with Amanda, in addition to other intelligence information he would have access to.

Other mistake: Bryan is recording as his daughter is being taken. When Marko comes on the phone, Bryan unplugs the phone from the recorder to speak with Marko. So, he actually didn't record him saying "Good Luck" yet. On the plane, Marko says it on the recorder.
