Summary
Analysis
The night operator of the U.S. Embassy in Paris answers a call from a man claiming there is a message waiting for him under the name Langdon. He has forgotten his three-digit-access code. When the operator informs the caller that they have no automated answering system, he hangs up. Fache (the caller) wonders what recording Langdon was listening to earlier. Realizing Langdon made that call from his phone, Fache redials the number and is furious to hear Sophie’s voicemail message. He inputs the code.
Suspicious of Sophie, Fache investigates her claim that Langdon received a message from the embassy and discovers it was a lie. Since Langdon used Fache’s phone to make the call, however, he quickly learns how Sophie warned Langdon of the police’s suspicions, making it seem likely to him that she also helped him escape the Louvre.
