Anagram for: "The missing girl"

A jewel thief has some kind of connection to Jane Doe.

Tropes

  • Armies Are Evil: The US military is said to have directly recruited convicted felons into the SEALs.
  • Artistic License – Military: The U.S. Navy SEALs do not directly recruit civilians into their program, much less convicted felons straight out of prison. Nor do their recruitment methods include targeting people with sociopathic tendencies. In point of fact, all Special Operations branches include extensive psychological testing to ensure that their recruits have maximum psychological stability, precisely for the reason that you don't turn likely criminals into lethal weapons.
  • Badass Boast: Weller hands his handgun to Jane to protect herself and then heads out, unarmed, to confront four heavily armed former SEALs.
    Weller: You're right, you need a gun.
    Jane: What about you?
    Weller: Don't worry about me. I'll get another one. [He does.]
  • Big Brother Instinct: A villainous example. One of the perps, with the help of three others, tries to break his brother out of the hospital. The brother, a fellow criminal, was in police custody after getting shot during a robbery. Not only does his plan fail, it gets him killed and causes his brother to succumbs to his injuries.
