Plot
In 1969, a month after the landing, a boy named Bruno Delsarte, picks a man's pocket on the Paris metro and drops off the wallet in his accomplice Sophia Poussin's hands in front of Patrick Mason. Minutes later the man whose pocket was picked, Lucas Berthelot, is found dead. Later, just before Bruno meets up with Sophia he notices a man who he suspects is a detective and so he slips away unnoticed. The man follows Sophia and it turns out he is an assassin named Grégory Gérin-Lajoie who killed Berthelot and knows that Sophia saw him sitting next to Berthelot. Suddenly Mason shows up and saves Sophia and beats up the assassin.

Bruno is found by Gérin-Lajoie and is beaten into revealing Sophia's location as the wallet contained a memo. Having located Sophia, he chases after her but once again she is saved by Mason. Gérin-Lajoie contacts his client, Gallois, but Mason kills Gérin-Lajoie having let Gallois know where Sophia will be. Mason takes Sophia to a hotel and Gallois appears, and Mason kills him. Gallois had belonged to a group of biologists working on a project and had stolen the funds for his own purposes.
