Kelly sat there, quiet. Mark Harris said awkwardly, "But I never found that person and I was ready to give up. And then that day I saw you…" He could not go on.
He stood up, holding Angel in his arms. "I'm so ashamed about all this. I promise never to bother you again. Good-bye." Kelly watched him start to walk away. "Where are you going with my dog?" she called.
Mark Harris turned, confused. "I'm sorry?" "Angel is mine. You gave her to me, didn't you?" Mark stood there, nonplussed. "Yes, but you said-" "I'll make a deal with you, Mr. Harris. I'll keep Angel, but you can have visiting rights." It took him a moment and then his smile lit up the room. "You mean I can-you'll let me-?" Kelly said, "Why don't we discuss it at dinner tonight?" And Kelly had no idea that she had just set herself up as a target for assassination.

BELMONDO: Monsieur Pascal, we have reason to believe that Mark Harris, the man who supposedly fell from the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower, was murdered.
PASCAL: Murdered? But-I was told it was an accident andMARAIS: He could not possibly have fallen over that parapet by accident. It is much too high.
BELMONDO: And we have established that the victim was not suicidal. In fact, he had made elaborate plans with his wife for the weekend. She's Kelly-the model.
PASCAL: I'm sorry, gentlemen, but I don't see what that-why was I brought here?
MARAIS: To help us clarify a few matters. What time did the restaurant close that night?
PASCAL: At ten o'clock. Because of the storm, the Jules Verne was empty, so I decided toMARAIS: What time did the elevators shut down?
PASCAL: They usually run until midnight, but on that night, since there were no sightseers or diners, I closed them down at ten p.m.
BELMONDO: Including the elevator that goes to the observation deck? Pascal-.
Yes. All of them.
MARAIS: Is it possible for someone to get to the observation deck without using the elevator?
PASCAL: No.
