Would you fasten

your seat belt, please?

Fasten your

seat belt, please.

Miss? Would you fasten

your seat belt, please?

Would you fasten your seat belt,

please? We're about to land.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Hope to see you again soon.

Thank you very much. Hope

to see you again soon.

Thank you very much.

Hope to see you again soon.

Thank you very much. Hope

you enjoy your stay in Paris.

Good-bye.

Thank you very much.

The departure to

Athens and Tel Aviv,

on flight 242,

is scheduled

at air run 25.

Boarding expected

at air run 5,

gate #45.

Who are you?

What do you want?

Move.

Here.

Okay.

Give me the bag.

Give me the other one.

Yeah.

Now, are you frightened?

All right, let me see if I

can make you understand this.

We, all of us,

we are professional criminals.

And we're holding you

for a short period of time...

and your father

will give us a sum of money.

Yes?

When he pays us

the sum of money,

you will be returned.

No harm will come to you.

You understand? Nothing bad...

nothing bad is gonna

happen to you here.

Because if anything bad

happened to you,

uh,

something much worse would happen

to us, and we don't want that.

You understand?

Now, while you're here,

you must not go outside.

We are not concerned

with hurting you.

All right?

All right, now,

would you like to say

hello to your daddy?

You all right, Sis? I'm fine.

Take it easy now.

I'll see ya tonight.

Come on, Bud. She'll

be all right. Let's go.

She'll be all right.

Come on.

After finding the chauffeur

tied and gagged,

authorities checked the flight's

passenger list with customs officials...

and airport personnel.

The young woman had,

indeed, been on Flight 713,

gone through customs and had

been seen leaving the airport...

in a chauffeur-driven

Rolls Royce,

all of which establishes kidnapping

beyond any shadow of doubt.

I'm really sorry

to do this to you.

I hope you understand that.

Je vous ai fait

peur, hein.!

Je suis desole.

Je vous ai fait peur.

Oh! No. Uh,

Ce n'est... rien.

Oh, you're English.

Uh, no.

American?

Yes.

I speak a little English.

I'm sorry I frightened you.

Are you lost?

I'll help you.

Oh, no, no. No, thanks.

Uh... I live here.

Oh, I didn't know

the house was rented.

We just arrived,

my husband and I.

He's, uh, he's not too well,

and we've come for the ocean air.

Oh, I'm sorry. I hope

he will feel better here.

Thanks. Probably we'll

see each other again, then.

I hope.

Good-bye.

Hello?

May I speak to the master

of the house, please?

- Who is this?

- Tell him it's a friend of his daughter's.

Just a minute, please.

Okay.

Okay, go ahead.

Hello? Look, this is going

to be a one-way conversation.

I'm not gonna be able to hear

you, but that's not important,

but what is important

is that you listen.

You understand?

Just listen.

Father, I'm all right.

Don't worry, please.

They want me to say that if you follow their

instructions, nothing will happen to me.

- Hey!

- Oh.!

Oh. Ah!

Did I hurt you?

That must hurt terribly.

Really, I'm awfully sorry.

That should feel better.

Okay, you're gonna meet

us tomorrow night. Right.

Now here's ten. You get the rest

when you get us to Portugal. Right.

Now you got that straight?

That's half pay.

You get the rest... Your sister's

freezin' her buns off. Let's go.

Where is she?

It's a cop.

Erase the tape?

No.

Great.

Bonsoir, messieurs.

Vous etes presses?

Uh, no, m... Merci,

monsieur I'agent.

Nous attendons pour

quelque d'autre.

You are Americans?

Oh, you speak English.

Yes. Ah, well, we were waiting

for someone to pick us up.

We mistook you for somebody else.

I guess our party's a little late.

Oh. Where

are you going?

Perhaps I can

take you there.

Well... Thank you.

Oh.

Get in!

Thank you.

Where you go?

Well, we're going to

the, uh, the Villa Vive.

It's about a mile on

the other side of town.

Oh, yes.

I know the house.

I met your friend this afternoon. The wife.

On my coming back

from fishing.

Oh, really? They were

supposed to pick us up.

Perhaps he's worse

and they could not come.

What a pity, huh?

Such a beautiful woman.

- He's much older than she, no?

- Uh, I don't know.

I guess, uh, a little.

Mm-hmm.

You are

a doctor, huh?

Yes.

Well, here you are.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot.

Oh, by the way.

If you like fishing,

there,

on the other side of thejetty, it is

one of the best places of the region.

Oh, really? Well,

we'll have to try it.

Thanks very much

for the ride.

Well, what happened, man?

Where is she?

Who? Vi. She wasn't at the airport.

You don't know, huh?

That's real smart.

That's real smart, buddy.

Vi?

Hey, where were ya?

We were at the airport waitin'for ya.

You were supposed to be at the airport.

Where were ya?

l...

- Are you on?

- Oh, no.

Let me see

your eyes.

Look at me.

Look at me!

Buddy. Did you take a shot?

I only had...

Oh... oh, Buddy.

I wouldn't...

I wouldn't do that.

You know that.

You know, baby.

l-l... Baby, I got

so nervous. I had...

I had such

a bad time.

I took... I took

a sleeping pill.

- You what?

- I took a sleeping pill.

I am freezing.

Are you on junk? Oh, no.

I'm... You know I wouldn't do

this. I'm... I'm not on junk.

I wouldn't...

I don't need it anymore.

Come on.

I love you.

I love you so much.

- Oh, please!

Please don't!

Please, please!

Shut up!

What's going on, man?

She tried to leave and I stopped

her. That's what's goin' on.

Please!

Shut up!

I saw it. I was upstairs,

and I saw what you did.

You're gonna make a speech, huh?

I got other things to take care of.

If you wanna...

Shut up.

Listen to me, man.

If you wanna get freaky,

you don't do it with her.

You make the speech.

I'll change my clothes.

Come on.

Please!

l-l... Please!

Wally.

What's the matter?

I think we ought

to call it off, man.

- What are you talkin' about?

- It's turning sour, man. It's coming apart.

No, listen. Last night after

I came home, I went upstairs.

You know what I found? Vi, in the

bathtub, crashed out of her skull.

She's on junk.

She's usin' it again.

Vi's been straight for months. You oughta

know that. You've been with her, haven't ya?

She was out of

her skull on junk,

and she should've been there

pickin' us up at the airport.

That's a fact.

Yeah.

Did you talk to her? Of

course I talked to her.

She said she took

a sleeping pill.

She was probably

telling you the truth.

You know how Vi gets all tensed up.

So she took a pill. She konked out.

That doesn't mean she's gonna

cave in when it gets rough.

Bud, ya know Vi.

She's family.

She... Wally! That was a cop.

That was a cop last night

that took us home here.

So what? He's only one of a lot of cops who

are gonna be lookin' for us after tonight.

No, man, there's not

gonna be any tonight,

because this genius pimp that you found in

Miami, or wherever you got him, is psycho.

I hear some racket. I come down. He's

rollin' around the floor with the kid,
