- I thought he retired and is living in Paris.
- He approached C-2 and asked for work.

:30:07
Apparently, he had financial difficulties.
:30:11
We tried to be helpful.
:30:13
Unfortunately, it turned out tragically.
:30:17
Why wasn't I told about this before?
:30:19
We had reasons.
They did not concern you.

:30:22
We preferred that you took the sanction
for your usual reasons:

:30:26
Greed and avarice.
:30:29
- Henri Baq was my friend.
- Yes.

:30:31
- Saved my life once.
- Yes.

:30:34
Why am I the only one who can do this?
:30:36
- First, do you accept the assignment?
- I accept.

:30:40
What we have is this.
:30:42
The target is male.
:30:44
He is an accomplished mountain climber.
:30:47
We learned this from
a note we intercepted.

:30:50
Also, a witness said he limped.
:30:54
Well, that's fine.
:30:55
Now all I have to do is kill
every mountain climber with a sore foot.

:30:58
Not quite.
:30:59
Our man will be involved
in a climb in the Alps this summer.

:31:04
You're getting warm now.
:31:05
- That narrows it to 3,000 or 4,000 men.
- Fewer than that.

:31:09
We know which mountain he will climb.
:31:13
- And?
- The Eiger.

:31:18
- North face, of course.
- That is correct.

:31:21
You are familiar with it?
:31:25
You know I am.
:31:27
I tried to climb it twice.
It tried to kill me twice.

:31:30
If the target's trying to climb the Eiger...
:31:32
...chances are my work
could be done for me.

:31:34
I cannot trust to chance.
:31:39
The only climb planned
for the Eiger is a goodwill climb...

:31:43
...with a team from Germany, Austria...
:31:46
...France and the United States.
:31:50
The target is one of the other climbers.
:31:53
The Frenchman,
the German or the Austrian.

:31:57
We are continuing to work
to try to identify him.
