"What for?" "You can't speak French or use the phones." "I'm not going." "Don't confirm the luncheon." "You told Alembert you were arriving a day early, didn't you?" "You obviously want to see him." "Give me the note." "I didn't tell him when I was coming." "Maurice Alembert happens to be the chairman of the convention." "Richard, give me the note." "Don't swallow it." "You'll choke." "Now she says" "Let me get you some water to wash it down." "Alembert doesn't give a rat's ass about me." "Not since he saw you at the Berkeley seminar."

"Is it possible she met someone then, whom she's been thinking about?" "Since June 15, 19 68?" "Please, don't take offense." "I'm an ex-cop." "We've seen this type of thing before." "Can we call the concierge again?" "Gaillard's gone out." "Where?" "Is Gin and Tonic a bar?" "Gym Tonic." "A gymnasium." "Did you get an address?" "They don't take client calls." "Tell them it's an emergency." "He hung up." "Dr. Walker." "402." "Something I can do for you, sir?" "My wife." "Do you remember my wife?" "She left the hotel this morning while you were on duty." "Did you see her?" "Yes, I spoke to her." "What did she say?" "She asked me to send up toilet articles and left with the man who called her." "I don't understand." "Man who...." "Well, a man asked me if Mrs. Walker was at the hotel." "I said she was." "He called your room." "A little later, your wife came down." "She asked me to get her some toothpaste, a toothbrush and how do you call to take off make-up?" "Take make-up off your face." "Cotton balls." "And they left together." "Is there a problem?" "Did she seem to know him?" "Were they talking?" "Did you notice anything else?" "I noticed she had wet hair, which is a bit strange."

"He had an accent." "An accent?" "Not American, if you know what I mean." "More like Middle East." "Thank you." "I'm sorry." "Thank you." "You'll have to wait your turn." "This is an emergency, you understand?" "You understand, but don't give a damn." "We have a lot of emergencies." "You have to wait like everyone else." "Has everyone else had their wife kidnapped?" "I don't know, sir." "Where are you from?" "San Francisco, like the passport says." "Step through the metal detector, please." "I'll take that, sir." "Remove all the metal obiects from your pockets." "I keep your passport here." "Wear this pass in the building, sir." "Thank you." "Go in." "Eyes?" "Blue, both of them." "Blue." "Face?" "Oval." "Look" "I know this seems like annoying bureaucracy, but we have to send a missing person's report to the police." "I've been to the police." "I've filled out the form." "And it's not a missing person." "It's a kidnapping." "Don't you think it's premature to be so positive?" "No, I don't." "I have witnesses." "My wife was kidnapped." "Do you understand?" "Yes, of course." "What would you like us to do, exactly?" "I want you to find my wife." "Dr. Walker, ours is basically a liaison function." "We can help you communicate with the French police." "We can put a little pressure on the Ministry of lnterior." "But, it's their iurisdiction." "We can't lust send a posse out after her." "What do you do here?" "I'm head of American Services." "Visa applications registering births" "Is there somebody here who can help me?" "Talk to our security officer." "Are you rich?" "No, I'm well off." "I'm a surgeon." "Involved in politics?" "No." "Your wife?" "The same." "We don't even vote anymore." "There isn't much to support your kidnapping theory, except this." "She could have dropped it." "It's flimsy, doesn't close very well." "It used to." "You were in the shower when this person called?" "So you didn't hear any of their conversation?" "No, none of it." "They spoke for a moment, then she went downstairs to meet him." "Meet him?" "Yes." "Meet him." "And when they left the hotel, he had his arm around her." "He had his arm around her." "Here, like this." "He could have had a gun." "Like this." "Pointed at her." ""Shut up." "Smile." "Walk." "Out the lobby."" "Yes, it could mean that." "Or they could've been having a good time." "Mr. Shaap, you're talking about my wife." "You must be thinking about yours." "402, please." "What's this?" "TWA came by to fetch a suitcase." "Jesus, the suitcase." "No other messages?" "Nothing." "He asked for you to leave it in the luggage room." "My key, please." "It's not here, Mr. Walker." "Jet lag." "Should I send the bellboy?" "I've come for the suitcase, sir." "Just a minute." "And this." "Please call Dr. Richard Walker at the Grand Hotel lntercontinental." "It's important." "A beer." "Tuborg, Heineken?" "Do you know someone named Dede?" "You're looking for Dede?" "Yeah, you know him?" "Sure." "You don't look like you know him." "What am I supposed to look like?" "Desperate, man." "I'm desperate." "Where you from, man?" "New York?" "San Francisco." "Much better, man." "North Beach." "Much, much better, man." "Many places to dance." ""If you go to San Francisco" ""Be sure to wear a flower in your hair"" "Come on, man." "Buy me a Kahlua and tell Jack your desperate troubles." "All I really need, man, is Dede." "All the boys and girls are looking for Dede." "But Dede's been gone two nights." "Where?" "Man, why not say what you're looking for?" "Dede is not the only one who can show you." "Why don't you tell me what I'm looking for?" "The white lady." "Isn't that so?" "Yes." "Heavy." "Now I see the desperate man." "Is she all right?" "Beautiful, man." "Nobody has touched the lady." "You don't worry, man." "Follow me." "Where is she?" "Cool, man." "No one has so much as stepped on her toe." "She's here, man." "And pure as the driven snow." "Give it a try." "Do a one-on-one and tell me if I lie." "Come now, man." "The nose knows." "The white lady." "Pure white." "Good, not true?" "600 francs." "You don't need Dede, man." "Dollars?" "All right, man." "One more of these for Dede's address." "You have a stylo, man?" "A pen?" "Your matches." "Hello?" "Please call Dr. Richard Walker, Grand Hotel" "No messages, huh?" "Nothing here." "I'll check with the operator." "You should go to the gym and do some sports, Doctor." "You got two calls, but the man wouldn't leave a message." "Son of a bitch." "Would you come to my room?" "The suitcase." "I'll call the police." "Not now." "Get my suitcase from the luggage room." "It's gone." "They took it." "TWA." "After I came on duty." "Shut the door." "Tell me what this says." "It's me." "It's Michelle." "I'm back." "I made a good trip." "I'll see you tonight at the Blue Parrot." "Don't forget my money." "She's waiting for Dede." "Something about leaving her suitcase in a locker." "She has nothing to dress in and no keys." "It's her again." "She's angry now." "She'll wait at the Parrot until it closes, then she'll go to his place." "When do nightclubs close?" "4:00 or 6:00, it depends." "Listen!" "Listen!" "Where is she?" "Don't kill me!" "Where is she?" "What do you want?" "My wife." "Where is she?" "Why did you kill Dede?" "I didn't." "I didn't kill anyone." "What do you want from me?" "Look familiar?" "Where did you get that?" "Your suitcase." "You have it!" "Pay me what you owe me." "I did my lob." "Job?" "You know what I mean." "No, I don't." "All I know is I have your suitcase and you have my wife's." "Do you understand?" "You picked up the wrong suitcase at the airport!" "You understand?" "I must have that suitcase." "What did you bring back?" "Please, we must leave here." "Quick, please." "You were on Flight 862 from San Francisco?" "Yes, this morning." "I want your ticket." "What for?" "Your suitcase for your ticket." "It's at my apartment." "Let's go." "Where do we get a cab?" "I have a car." "Here, hold this." "I'm not going to lump." "I don't have my key." "My roommate is in Bangkok." "And you know where my key is, right?" "You see?" "I didn't fly away." "I have to call my hotel." "Telephone?" "Over there." "Where?" "There." "Here." "It's dead." "Sonia didn't pay the bill." "My roommate." "Bitch!" "Ticket?" "Where's the ticket?" "I threw it away." "Maybe it's...." "Wait." "Here's my ticket." "Give me my suitcase." "Will you put it back in the locker?" "You're with the people who followed me." "I'm not with anyone." "How do you know about the locker?" "I listened to Dede's messages." "You don't speak French." "I had it translated." "Why is it so important?" "You have my wife's suitcase." "You put it in the locker this morning." "I can't get it back." "What are you saying?" "I can't get the suitcase back." "I don't care about that!" "I'm looking for her!" "Who?" "My wife, goddamn it!" "You put her suitcase in the locker and it didn't have what they wanted but it had our telephone number." "They came to the hotel and took her." "Your wife?" "They kidnapped her!" "They want my suitcase." "Why take her?" "When I find them, I'll ask." "Who hired you?" "Dede." "Who hired Dede?" "I don't know." "I don't...." "If they knew me, they would kill me." "I gave them the wrong suitcase and they killed Dede." "I don't think so." "You think I lie?" "You gave them the wrong suitcase today." "Dede's been dead more than a day." "Who says?" "I say." "Are you a doctor?" "No corpse stinks that much after lust 12 hours." "Take my word for it." "Yes, I am a doctor." "What did you bring back?" "Dope?" "Isn't that what you do, smuggle dope?" "Not this time." "Then what was it?" "Okay, it was dope." "What kind?" "Heroin?" "Cocaine?" "Opium?" "What do you care?" "It matters!" "I don't know what kind and I don't care." "I'm very frightened." "You want your wife back, you'll get my suitcase." "Is this how you got in?" "Yeah." "Can I help you?" "Is this your wife?" "She seems very happy." "Yes, she is." "She's a happy person." "That's her nature." "Merde." "What?" "They're following me." "Who?" "I saw a man on the plane and the train from the airport." "I lost him at the station before I got to the locker." "Are they police?" "I don't think so." "Then who?" "Maybe the people that hired me." "Hired Dede." "Stop." "I want to talk to them." "Stop!" "Can we go now?" "I'm being followed." "Get your fingers out of your face and drive us to the airport." "We have a lost bag." "What sort of bag?" "A white Samsonite." "Let me help you." "What has it got, a false bottom?" "The suitcase." "Jesus Christ, those dogs are drug-trained." "It's not drugs." "Then what's in it?" "What do you care?" "I don't know." "All I know is it's not drugs." "You want your wife back?" "Then relax, be cool and lust walk." "We'll give them what they want." "You'll get your wife, I'll get my money and everyone will be happy except Dede." "Is there a doctor in the house?" "Is there a doctor in the house?" "We missed you." "Where were you, up in first class?" "We got here yesterday." "Yesterday?" "And you haven't found your way out of the airport yet?" "I thought I was wrecked!" "No, a mix-up with the bags." "Mix-up with the bags?" "I am wrecked." "I hope I don't miss your speech." "It's tomorrow, right?" "No, it's today." "I hope you don't miss it." "Got a match?" "Somewhere." "Irwin, look who's here." "Irwin, look." "You remember Dick?" "I wondered when we'd see you." "How's Sondra?" "She's fine." "So, you two have been here for a day or so?" "When we get to the hotel, I'll wake her up and see if she wants to have breakfast with me." "I'll see if she has any new faces in her life." "Will you help me with this, Dickie until we get through customs?" "Got it?" "You bet." "Looking for your little friend?" "She went through there already." "Here!" "Take it!" "Give it to the man." "What kind of music do you like?" "Old music." "Oldies, mostly." "Me, too." "You like this?" "This is not old." "Three, four years." "Could you hold the wheel, please?" "Goddamn it!" "Why did you do that?" "Take the wheel!" "It's good coke!" "That was 500 francs, at least!" "Just watch the road and get us where we're going." "Jesus Christ!" "You can go home." "I got the suitcase." "I don't need your help." "Unless you tell me what's in it." "Do you think I'm stupid?" "If I tell you, then you really don't need me." "You do know what's in it." "I don't." "But it's my suitcase and I will tell him that." "You have me confused and I'm very hungry." "There is a message for you." "What does Dr. Alembert say?" "Would you translate?" "He wants the lecture slides." "He wishes you to drop them off before lunch." "Would you order me breakfast?" "One or two?" "Two." "Tea or coffee?" "Coffee." "I thought my place was messy!" "There's always someone who'll do you one better." "How much were they paying you?" "Quick!" "How much?" "Dede gave me first 10,000 francs and 15 more because I bought my own ticket." "When I will be back he will give me at least 10,000 francs." "How much did they owe you?" "Well...." "No." "Eleven.... 10,000 francs, more or less." "What are you doing?" "You did it for the money, here's the money." "Then you can leave me alone." "$2,000, that's about 1 1,000 francs." "It's a bit more." "Room service." "I'm sorry for all this." "The police have to ask you some questions before we can clean up." "Just a moment." "I take only half." "Why?" "Instead of the other half, keep me with you." "Why?" "I stay with you until you give them my suitcase." "I don't want to end up like Dede." "You better go." "No, I won't go." "Please." "I'll come to your place once I straighten this out." "Promise?" "Yes, I promise." "Now scoot." "Wait." "I need a little money." "I lust gave you $1,000." "That was my salary." "I need for expenses." "Just a minute." "I'd like to ask you some questions, too." "Leave her alone." "I beg your pardon?" "Please." "She doesn't know anything about this." "I'm a married man." "Can I have a little consideration?" "Has Paris changed so much?" "Has anything been taken?" "Jewelry, clothing, anything?" "Why?" "You must have a list to lodge a complaint." "I don't wish to lodge a complaint." "Why not?" "There's nothing to complain about." "The truth is I tore this place up myself." "My wife and I were having a fight and I was looking for her phone book." "You're right." "She does have a friend in Paris." "I've got an important paper to read at this medical convention." "I don't want this to get out of hand." "I'm sorry for the trouble." "I know it's been a lot of trouble." "All right, Doctor, we understand." "By the way you asked the concierge to translate a tape with messages on it." "He mentioned a name:" "Dede." "I was told that tape had medical information relating to the convention." "Do you have that tape?" "No." "It may interest you to know my colleagues came across a man called Dede Martin who was in need of medical attention." "If you find that tape, please inform us." "I hope you know what you're doing." "Have a nice day." "Walker's residence." "What's new, sweetheart?" "Hi, Dad!" "Nothing much." "Just having a party." "Nothing wild, Dad, you know." "Yeah, I know." "Have a nice time." "Are you all right?" "I'm fine, honey." "Are you and Mom having a fight?" "Of course not." "How's Richie?" "You sure you're okay, Daddy?" "Absolutely." "What's that music you're listening to?" "Grace Jones." "Why, do you like it?" "Been hearing it a lot." "You're kidding." "Sounds like you and Mom are having a good time." "Go back to your party." "I love you." "I love you, too, Daddy." "Tell Mom I love her and give her a big kiss." "'Bye, honey." "'Bye, Dad." "Sit down." "No." "Sit down, I said." "You're young and should learn that before you stick your nose in something you should know who's who, and who does what." "Once again, where is it?" "I don't know!" "Like hell, you don't!" "Slut!" "They don't teach you to talk to young girls." "He's a bit crazy." "He's spent too much time in America." "Cut the good-cop-bad-cop shit." "There's no time." "Come on, we're French." "We understand each other, don't we?" "Trust us." "We don't go around cutting throats." "We're not bandits." "We're not that kind ofpeople." "We can protect you." "Show us some good will and we'll show you good will, okay?" "At the San Francisco airport a blond guy kissed you on both cheeks." "What did he say?" "Bon voyage." "He gave you something." "She already told you." "He gave her the Statue of Liberty." "She put it in her suitcase." "He gave you the statue." "You put it in the suitcase." "And then?" "I got on the plane." "In Paris, what did you do?" "I put it in the locker." "And the key to the locker?" "I left it in the phone booth with chewing gum under the shelf." "Check the bathroom." "I did." "Who gave you the instructions?" "Dede Martin." "Who else?" "Nobody else,just Dede." "He is a friend of mine." "He was." "So, then you left the statue in the locker, right?" "The suitcase." "The suitcase?" "I was supposed to leave the statue but I saw him at the station and I panicked." "I recognized him from the plane." "Bullshit!" "She didn't know where I was sitting." "The stewardess spilled coffee on you." "He has a bad temper." "Yes, he has." "So, you saw him at the station?" "By the lockers." "And you panicked?" "I threw the suitcase in the locker." "With the statue?" "No,just the suitcase." "You took the statue out?" "No, it wasn't there." "Where was the statue, dear?" "In another suitcase." "What is this crap?" "Do you think we are idiots?" "I don't think you're an idiot!" "Please." "Where is it, you bitch?" "Where is this other suitcase?" "I don't know." "Honey?" "You checked the bedroom, too, I suppose." "I woke up and you were gone." "Come back to bed." "Who is he?" "He's...you know." "You're making so much noise." "Who are you?" "These guys friends of yours?" "Not really." "What are we talking about?" "Take it easy." "There's been some mistake." "He's American." "He may be crazy." "Right, there's some mistake." "Cool it." "We're only asking her a few questions." "You're not asking her lack shit." "Get out of here." "I'll go on my own time." "You'll go now!" "Don't mess with me!" "I am an American and I am crazy!" "We'll stay in touch." "Where am I?" "Where am I?" "Please." "How did I get here?" "My friends brought you." "She called." "Who?" "Your wife." "Where?" "The hotel." "She called twice." "She'll call again at 1:00." "Hello." "We missed them." "Hello." "Where is it?" "Hello." "Where is it?" "Where's my wife?" "Wait." "Hi, honey." "They haven't hurt you, have they?" "All right, you've talked to her." "Please don't frighten her." "Don't make her scared." "Don't worry, she'sjust a bit tired." "I've got the thing you want." "What do you want me to do?" "Yellow level at the Beaubourg Parking." "Wait." "Say it again." "Beaubourg Parking, yellow level." "Got it?" "Bring the statue, Doctor." "When?" "Now." "And, Doctor don't be stupid." "Or else beautiful Mrs. Walker goes bye-bye." "What is it?" "I don't know." "Have you got some tape?" "Take this and go behind that truck." "Don't come out until I say." "I'm scared." "Are you?" "I'm scared shitless." "Go on." "Merde." "It's good luck to say merde." "You're not supposed to answer." "Lady Liberty?" "Let my wife out first!" "No!" "Stop." "I'll get the girl." "She has it." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Tell them to give me my bread." "What are you doing?" "Don't do this!" "Give it to them!" "No!" "Never!" "Watch out!" "Go!" "Take it!" "Take it!" "Assholes!" "Blue BMW four doors, license plate number:" "1068 PD9 2." "You got it?" "They had a knife at her throat." "Did you hear me?" "Yeah, a knife at her throat." "Go on." "Go on where?" "My wife is being held for ransom!" "I know." "I've got that, too." "They were after this electronic gizmo" "A Krytron." "Whatever, whatever." "What about the other gang that came in the Peugeot?" "The other gang was on foot."
