A trope of these movies is to have the kidnap victim speak to the protagonist over the phone. The whole "I need to know he/she is still alive, or else i'm not doing anything you say"
The fact you never once hear the daughter on the phone, coupled with the fact that it is the wife who "speaks to her" on the phone, and not Gerard Butler, gave it away.
I knew she was in on it from that point on.

shareI figured it out much, much sooner. Idiot.
So... someone remarks, that Abby has "the perfect husband," which raised a red flag. Then another person said pretty much the same thing. Then the camera lingered on the attractive secretary. I figured he was having an affair. After the money was thrown overboard and Brosnan acted the family man toward his son, I figured the Shouty Scotman cheated with Tom's wife. As the plot unfurled, I figured the wife was in on it.
I knew an affair was happening the moment saw his secretary talking to the wife on the phone. I wasn't sure at first if it was about her or the other guy, who got screwed over for the assignment, taking revenge. I did think that the child was home the entire time though once Pierce kept pulling phony pranks.
