Tom manages to find important information but is totally yanked from the case. He uncovers links to a Guatemala group which recently killed the American ambassador and CIA actions in the 1950s. He also finds he is now the target of his bosses. He flees with only Agent Renate Bachle who is willing to help him as long as his needs fit her secret agenda.
