Stay by the phone.

I'll call you back later.

Inspector Richard, we are very sorry...

that the operation was sabotaged.

I will report back to my superiors

and get you any help I can.

- Thank you.

- Let me show you out.

I want them followed.

I want their phones tapped.

I want to know every move they make,

every word they speak.

There must be a sleeper he's

staying with in Paris. Find him.

So, I guess you will be staying...

longer than you expected.

A little longer.

Paris is a nice city once you get used to it.

And the French are nice people

once you get used to them.

- Are you hungry?

- No.

Family recipe. Very tasty.

Fifty men on the street,

and you can't find this son of a b*tch?

- Did you try his hotel?

- The f*** never checked in.

"The f*** never checked in."

That means he has a friend in Paris,

or family. Even better.

- Who tried Chinatown?

- Here. But it's hard to be discreet.

So put on a wig and a kimono.

I don't care how you do it.

Now, get out. Get out!

Get out! I want that little prick

in my office by tonight!

Oh,Jessica, my love.

Come to Papa. Come.

Richard, I tried.

I really tried.

I was only in the bathroom for a minute.

You know, I was getting

ready to do my part--

Getting ready to do what it was

that I said that I would--

What you wanted-- I really-- I really--

I really was ready to do what it was--

what you wanted--

Jessica.Jessica.

I know you were. I know, I know.

Coming from such a quiet place

as North Dakota,

you must have been so scared.

- Richard, I tried. I- I--

- I know.

- I tried. I really did.

- I know you did.

All that noise.

My poor little farmer's daughter.

Don't be scared.

You're the best girl I have.

And you know how I treat my best girl.

I know.

So you'll keep your promise?

Promise?

Did I make a promise?

Yes-- Yes. You said that

if I did it one more time,

that you would let me--

let me have my daughter back.

- You said that you'd help me

get the papers to get her out.

- Did I say that?

- Yes.

- Did I say that, Max?

Oh, yes, you did.

Well, there you go. Two to one.

I guess you're right. So I'll have

to let you go,you and your precious.

Do you realize how much I must trust you

to let you go just like that?

With everything you know?

Everything you've seen?

One phone call from you,

one word, and I'd be locked up

for the rest of my life!

I'd never do that!

I'd never give you up, ever!

I know that. If I didn't

trust you, would I let you go?

- What is he doing?

- I don't know. What are you doing, Max?

- I'm preparing a fix.

- He's preparing a fix. Do you want a taste?

Richard, I told you I quit. You know I quit.

I don't want it anymore! I quit!
