As the French C.I.A. is unable to tell him who's responsible for his wife's kidnapping, Walter contacts his former boss who thinks that the person behind all that may be a former German spy -Schroeder- whose entire family was killed during a C.I.A. operation lead by Walter Lloyd when he was still active. Walter goes to East Berlin in order to meet Schroeder but still wonders why he's the target of killers who don't seem to work for the German spy.
