Gerardi is woken by a phone call from the hospital with news that the suspect Bernard Mercier is dead. Paul is convinced that his death cannot have been from natural causes and when the officer guarding the dead man is questioned, footage emerges of a woman who has impersonated a nurse to gain access to the suspect's room.

Martine tells Antony, Chrissie and Alain that if the incriminating film of Bombe is still at Gerardi's house, she has a plan to retrieve it. Paul is continuing his unofficial investigation into the Minnebach Investment Bank and on visiting the HQ of the Kitangi opposition, learns that Leon Tchite is being buried today in Brussels' cemetery.
