The Night of the Following Day Page #6

and wherever you are,

if you can hear me now,

I want to repeat...

But please, please

don't hurt my daughter.

- What are you doing here?

- I am sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings.

You won't be picking us up.

The flight's cancelled.

- What?

- The flight's cancelled.

What are you talkin' about, the flight...

Where are Wally and Bud? I

made my deal with Wally and Bud.

Al, you're not listening,

not paying attention to me.

The flight is cancelled!

"Sir:
You will now

proceed as follows.

"When you open this letter, you should

have the money with you, in a cab,

"headed toward

the Hotel George V...

"and be very willing

to cooperate with us.

"First, you are not going

to the Hotel George V.

"You are going

to take the subway.

"You will ask the driver to take you to

the Franklin Roosevelt Subway Station,

"from where you will take

the enclosed luggage stub...

"to the baggage counter

at the Gare St. Lazare.

"Needless to say, from this

point on, it is imperative...

"that you make

no mistakes.

"Once in the subway, stand by the

door when you reach St. Lazare station.

"Do not give any indication

that you're getting off but wait.

"As the train is about to start

again, and the doors begin to close,

"quickly step onto the platform

at the last possible instant.

"This procedure will enable you to

lose any possible police surveillance...

"in case you haven't

been able to earlier.

"Remember that we will be watching

to see if you follow instructions.

"At the baggage counter, you will

exchange the stub for an empty suitcase,

"which you will take

to the Champs Elysees,

"where you will find

two banks facing each other.

"You will go into each bank and ask for the

manager, to whom you will identify yourself.

"lfhe doesn't know you by name, he

will at least have heard of this affair.

"Tell him that you

are being watched,

"that what you have to do

must be done immediately,

"out in the open,

at the teller's window,

"and that any attempt

on his part not to cooperate...

"or to contact the police will

endanger the life of your daughter.

"Then give him half

the money you're carrying,

"money you have

undoubtedly listed,

"and ask him to change it into small,

used bills of 50 and 100 francs.

"If the first bank is cooperative,

the second will be even more,

"since you will probably have

help from across the street.

"Please remember that you

will be watched at all times,

"that any attempt on your

or anyone's part...

"to mark or register

the number of these bills...

"would be fatal

to your daughter.

"So be careful and watch

the others around you...

"as if you were

one of us.

"Don't forget:
The care with

which you handle this matter...

"will be reflected by the care

your daughter receives.

"And understand that her fate

is in your hands.

"When you have changed the

money, take a taxi to the airport,

"where you will be paged under

the name of G.H. Dupont...

"by a pilot of a private chartered

plane, Mr. Charles Lambert.

"be very careful not to discuss anything

that may ultimately endanger your daughter.

"With the hope that

you've understood everything,

we sincerely wish you

good luck. "

Yeah?

Yeah?

Yeah.

Tell him yourself.

Wait a minute.

Present from

your sister. Taste it.

Yeah?

I can't hear you.

I've got a...

I've got a cab waiting.

Wait a minute. Listen, talk

louder. I can't hear you.

Yeah.

The father is taking off right now.

Just think, Wally, tomorrow at this time,

we're going to have exactly what we want.

Everything we want.

Everything?

Monsieur, Madame? Deux

Scotch, s'il vous plait.

Deux cafes.

Oui, Monsieur.

Eh, cafe pour le monsieur.

Scotch pour moi, s'il vous plait.

Oui, Madame.

Okay, go ahead.

Uh, hello? Um, pouvez-vous me dire

si Monsieur Lambert est arrive?

II est arrive?

Oh, no, no.

Je voudrais parler avec son

passager, un Monsieur Dupont.

Dupont. Monsieur Dupont est

demande au Bureau de I'Information.

Mr. Dupont? Mr. Dupont, this

is a friend of your daughter's.

No, no! She's fine.

Uh, she's just...

Well, that's what

I'm calling about.

and tell him to take you to the

Cafe de la Place. Did you get that?

The Cafe de la Place.

Right. Just wait there.

Now please just listen to me and do as

I say and everything will work out fine.

Just go to the Cafe de la Place

and wait there.

One early morning

Early morning

Love left

Without a warning

And you

went away from me

Qu'est-ce que vous

voulez, monsieur?

Allo?

Allo? Allo? Allo?

He's ready.

You better be going.

Yeah.

What's the matter?

I'm... I'm scared.

For God's sake,

we're counting on you.

Why do we have to

go through all of this?

Why can't we just get the money, he

gets his daughter, we get out of it?

You've been enough trouble

already. Now just do your job.

Okay.

- Okay.

- I'm sorry.

... en ce qui

concerne le kidnapping...

la famille a demande aux autorites

de leur donner une liberte...

complete afin de faciliter les

contacts avec les ravisseurs.

Nos prochaines

informations dans une heure.

D'ici la, nous continuons

avec Route De Nuit.

Well, what did he say?

Uh, qu'est qu'il a dit?

La family de la girl

kidnapper ask les autorites...

for complete liberte

to contact les kidnappers.

Merci.

Ces salauds.!

Those... Those...

How you say,

bastardos.!

They will amuse themselves

with that girl, huh? Croyez-moi.

Did you see her photo

in the newspapers? Hmm?

No.

Kid?

No, please! Please, let me go! My

father will give you anything! Please!

Listen, nothing's gonna happen. Sit here, read

your magazine and I'll be back in a little while.

You're not going to leave

me alone... no, not with him?

I'll do anything.

You don't

have to do that, kid.

You just hang out.

Hello there,

Clark Gable.

Someday somebody's gonna

invent a comfortable gun.

I suppose it would be prudent, before

you charge off to your adventures,

if you and I had some kind

of an understanding.

If you are not

back here in one hour,

I pick up the phone,

I call the police,

and they get the names and

numbers of all the players.

And after I have identified you, I will then

give the police the complete escape route,

including the time and

location of the airplane.

And without the airplane,

you know where you are.

Well, you got enough to do tonight.

I don't want you to worry about that.

- What else?

- Oh.

When the car

comes for you,

I want you to take the two goody-bags

and put them in the back of the car.

And I want you to

get in the front.

And then, I want you to

drive away immediately.

I don't have

a machine gun here.

All I've got is

that little girl,

And oh, Lockinfar,

if you are not back here

within an hour,

I will become very nervous.

And I'll have

a very strong need...

for relaxation,

amusement.

And if I go to work on her, you

won't want to see the result.

I just want to sit up.

Now let's see where we are.

I got an hour.

Let's say I get
