information relating to the convention.

Do you have that tape?

No.

It may interest you to know my colleagues

came across a man called Dd 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 sh*t.

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 of people.

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?

- Dd Martin.

- Who else?

Nobody else, just Dd.

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 b*tch?

- 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 jack sh*t.

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's just 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!

A**holes!

Blue BMW...

...four doors, license plate number:

1068...

...PD92.

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.

The guy in the Peugeot was with them,

the kidnappers.

He's dead in his car on the "rue de Rivoli".

I'm not sure what you mean by "them".

Hold on a minute. I have to take this call.

- Hello? Doctor?

- Yes.

What number are you calling from?

How do I know what number?

I'm in a caf. The Paris Midi.

How do you spell that?

With an "S", for "shithead"!

Those guys are supposed to be loaded.

Look at this, 200 francs.

Can you believe it?

- What's this?

- His wallet.

Whose wallet?

- The dead guy.

- You took his wallet?

I wasn't supposed to?

He doesn't need it anymore.

Let me see.

Born in Cyprus.

Look at this.

What is this?

A nightclub.

- You know it?

- Sure. It's for old jerks and really square.

It's full of rich Arabs. Greeks, too.

- You've been there?

- Once Dd took me.

Waiter!

Dr. Walker, it looks like you were right.

About what?

- Is that the...?

- Yes.

You can talk in front of her.

She knows more about this than you.

Okay, who's got my wife?

- We believe they're Arabs.

- That's news.

We're playing catch-up.

All we know is they're Arab agents.

- Have you heard of Krytron before?

- No.

Neither had I.

It's an electronic triggering device.

A miniature, high-performance switch...

...capable of withstanding severe shock

and vibration.

What's it for?

It's used in missile separation

and for triggering nuclear devices.

- It sets off atomic bombs?

- That's what they're after.

- It was stolen from the manufacturer.

- We're lucky a US citizen found it.

I should have asked

for 20,000 francs at least.

Who were the guys in her apartment?

Probably on our side.

"Our" side? Your side.

We're doing everything to help your wife.

We're pressuring the Minister of Interior.

We brought in Interpol.

I sent a telex to the State Department.

I think priority one is to get this

to a safe location.
