Plot
1991. The Intelligence Office is in reorganization as, with the impending collapse of the Soviet Union, they are transfering to civilian control.

It is just after this that the IO suddenly finds out that a former member (John Inger), who has long been suspected of having been a spy for the Soviets has come out of seclusion and is leaving the country to Moscow on a flight in two days. IO detective Ana Van Kamp, a former partner long on the hunt of Inger goes to the Department of Defense to go after him but they do not give permission, as they do not believe there is no meaningful evidence.

Nevertheless, the IO tracks Inger and rushes to find evidence linking him to espionage against Brunant. The hours go by and little more is found, but Van Kamp pulls some strings with friends at Koningstad's airport and Inger is pulled over at a "random baggage check" hours before his flight. Guards discovered €45,000 on Inger and before being able to take him aside for questioning he sets off a smoke bomb and flees.

Van Kamp, who was hot on his tail meets up with him in a waiting area. She tries telling him she'll help him escape but he sees right though that and shoots her in the chest. As he goes to take her gun she is able to shoot him with a second gun and bring him down.
