What did James want?
He must have something in mind. He went through a great length to track and deceit his wife.
He didn't kidnap or kill her. He used his prison buddy to GET MATCHED with his wife? So they can date and have sex and then one day while pretending to go to Columbia he can kidnap her.
And for how many days he's gonna keep her locked up. If he wanted to kill, why didn't he do it right away?
