a toothbrush and...

...how do you call to take off make-up?

Take make-up off your face.

Cotton balls.

And they left together.

Is there a problem?

Did she seem to know him?

Were they talking?

Did you notice anything else?

I noticed she had wet hair,

which is a bit strange.

I didn't hear what they were saying, but...

...he had his arm around her.

Around her waist or...

No, around her shoulder.

What did this man look like?

Tall, well-dressed, mustache, dark skin.

He had an accent.

An accent?

Not American, if you know what I mean.

More like Middle East.

Thank you.

I'm sorry. Thank you.

You'll have to wait your turn.

This is an emergency, you understand?

You understand, but don't give a damn.

We have a lot of emergencies.

You have to wait like everyone else.

Has everyone else had

their wife kidnapped?

I don't know, sir.

Where are you from?

San Francisco, like the passport says.

Step through the metal detector, please.

I'll take that, sir.

Remove all the metal objects

from your pockets.

I keep your passport here.

Wear this pass in the building, sir.

Thank you. Go in.

Eyes?

Blue, both of them.

Blue.

Face?

Oval. Look...

I know this seems like

annoying bureaucracy, but...

...we have to send

a missing person's report to the police.

I've been to the police.

I've filled out the form.

And it's not a missing person.

It's a kidnapping.

Don't you think it's premature

to be so positive?

No, I don't. I have witnesses.

My wife was kidnapped.

Do you understand?

Yes, of course.

What would you like us to do, exactly?

I want you to find my wife.

Dr. Walker, ours is basically

a liaison function.

We can help you communicate

with the French police.

We can put a little pressure

on the Ministry of Interior.

But, it's their jurisdiction.

We can't just send a posse out after her.

What do you do here?

I'm head of American Services.

Visa applications...

...registering births...

Is there somebody here who can help me?

Talk to our security officer.

- Are you rich?

- No, I'm well off. I'm a surgeon.

- Involved in politics?

- No.

Your wife?

The same. We don't even vote anymore.

There isn't much to support

your kidnapping theory, except this.

She could have dropped it.

It's flimsy, doesn't close very well.

It used to.

You were in the shower

when this person called?

So you didn't hear

any of their conversation?

No, none of it.

They spoke for a moment,

then she went downstairs to meet him.

Meet him?

Yes. Meet him.

And when they left the hotel,

he had his arm around her.

He had his arm around her.

Here, like this.

He could have had a gun. Like this.

Pointed at her.

"Shut up. Smile. Walk. Out the lobby. "
