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

without her consent.

You'd need a French attorney

to make a formal request.

What are you talking about?

Why wouldn't she want me to know?

You've been to Paris before?

Yes. On our honeymoon.

Is it possible she met someone then,

whom she's been thinking about?

Since June 15, 1968?

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.

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,
