Do you know where you are?

No.

It's changed too much.

So, change the tire.

I'll help you change the tire.

- Are we at the hotel?

- A flat tire.

Now do you know where you are?

In Paris.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Reservations for Walker.

- Walker?

Please sign.

May I have your passports?

Would you be kind enough

to hold the doctor's calls?

Certainly, madam.

- May I?

- Please.

"Please confirm luncheon at the Jules

Verne in the Eiffel Tower today at 1:00."

"Regards, Dr. Maurice Alembert. "

"Numero:
45-84-32-53."

This way, please.

The mini-bar.

Light switch for the bedroom.

The bathroom.

Television controls.

Radio. Message light.

Have a pleasant stay.

Nice.

Nice fruits.

I would have preferred flowers.

Nice view.

It's magnificent.

It should look very lovely

from the Eiffel Tower...

...where you and Dr. Alembert

can share it together.

I want to take a hot shower.

But first I'll confirm your luncheon.

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.

"Be sure to bring your lovely wife to Paris. "

Was he the one with the long legs

who took his shoes off?

Never mind.

How do you feel?

Do you want some breakfast?

I've already eaten, thanks.

Want some "caf au lait" and croissants?

Hello. Room service?

Over here, please.

Let's call the kids.

You can dial direct.

I know.

Zero.

One, nine.

One.

- Four, one, five.

- Got it.

Walker's residence.

Hey, buddy.

Hi, Dad.

How're you doing?

All right.

It's 11:
00 at night.

Why are you up?

You woke me up.

I know. Just testing.

Sure, Dad.

Before that, somebody else called

from Paris for Mom.

Somebody called for you from Paris.

I don't know anybody in Paris.

Hold on. Mom wants to say hello.

Can you make these keys work?

I can't get my suitcase open.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- I'm all right.

Were you sleeping?

Who called me?

- I don't know. Casey talked to him.

- Him?

Put Casey on.

She's not here.

She left you alone?

Casey's out?

She's on a date.

When did she go out?

I don't know. She left around...

You're not scared, are you?

You can call us anytime, okay?

We'll call you tomorrow.

No wonder you can't get the keys to work.

It's not your suitcase.

Not my suitcase?

It doesn't have your nametag.

There's no name at all.

The keys don't work.

It's not your suitcase, dummy.

You did this on purpose 'cause

you want me to go shopping in Paris.

I'll get on TWA and straighten it out.

Please get me TWA.

Besides...

The lost luggage department.

Besides, for the next 24 hours...

...you won't need anything to wear.

Promises, promises.

Yes, I was on Flight 862 this morning

from San Francisco.

My wife apparently picked up

the wrong bag.

Samsonite?

Yes. You have it?

It's always Samsonite. They look alike.

What's the tag number?

"I love Paris"

"Why, oh, why do I love Paris?"

The Grand Hotel Intercontinental.

How about it?

They'll send someone to pick this one up...

...and we'll fill out a form for yours.

We'll hope whoever's got your stuff

doesn't like it better than their own.

I was talking about breakfast in bed.

Be with you in a minute.

Honey, I can't hear you.

You're awful quiet in there, babe.

Have you gone to sleep on me?

I ain't in here shaving for drill.

You going to get that?

This is your... "les affaires de toilette".

What time is it, please?

10:
10, sir.

I'm looking for my wife.

402.

No messages, sir. Your passports.

Where's the good-looking guy...

...who was here when I checked in

this morning?

He stops work at 8:00.

Perhaps I can help you.

I'd like to speak to the manager.

Would you get him for me?

Certainly, sir. If you please.

You wish to see me?

Yes. Thank you.

I checked in this morning with my wife.

While I was in the shower, she left.

She hasn't come back.

How may I help you?

- Does she know Paris?

- Pardon me?

Maybe she's lost.

No, she wouldn't have gone out.

She left her bag. She would have told me.

Tlphone pour monsieur.

For me?

Dr. Janet Perelman.

Did you have a pleasant trip?

Dr. Alembert asked me to call.

We have a scheduling problem.

Aortic valves are a temperamental group...

...so could you read your paper

tomorrow at 3:
00?

No problem.

We'll have to put your slides

in the morning.

About lunch at the Eiffel Tower...

Shall we pick you up

or can you come on your own?

I'm afraid we're going to have to cancel.

It sounds like a tourist trap,

but the food is marvelous...

That's not it. It's unavoidable, I'm afraid.

Dr. Alembert was hoping to see you

and your wife before the madness starts.

I'll have him call you.

Well?

No, it's something else.

This is Pascal, head of security.

Does your wife know anybody in the hotel?

Not that I know of.

Have you checked with the concierge?

- He's off duty. It was...

- Gaillard.

Let's give him a ring.

Is your wife diabetic or...

I'm a doctor. It's not a medical problem.

He says his father is sleeping.

He's not supposed to wake him.

We'll call later.

Have you checked around the hotel?

I looked in the newspaper place,

the bar, outside, everywhere.

The ladies' room?

Clearly, she's not here.

- Bonjour.

- Monsieur.

Do you speak English?

Just a second.

I'm looking for this lady.

I'm looking for my wife.

My wife. She might have...

Espresso, please.

Excuse me, you speak English?

My wife.

What do you want?

I'm looking for my wife. This one.

She might have come in this morning.

She had no coat.

She was wearing a red dress.

A lot of people come here. Sorry.

Over there, this morning, in the "passage".

A man put a woman in the car.

This woman?

Coming with me. I explain to you.

I'm sorry. How much?

Five.

Twelve.

Around here.

Yes, it is true. "Incredible. "

Incredible story.

What exactly did you see?

Exactly. Two friends of mine

saw the event.

They saw everything.

What did they see?

One man push with brutality

the poor woman in the car.

She's your wife?

Where are these friends of yours?

Later.

- When? When?

- Go back later.

You have a cigarette?

I don't smoke, but...

Eyes?

Blue. Gray, really.

Face?

- What about it?

- The shape.

It's thin and narrow at the jaw

with a rounded forehead.

Ah, Paris.

City of Lights.

I expect you people to take me seriously.

You are being taken perfectly seriously, sir.

You have a special treatment.

Usually we fill out this form after a week.

Usually we just take a deposition.

This is the procedure.

Photo.

Photo.

Even if they find Mrs. Walker...

...they can't disclose where she is
