Gunshots ring out at the Paris airport, the target an important witness that Harry has to guard. There is a trial for a murder where there was only one witness to the crime. It is a massive effort to keep the witness from harm but to no avail. The search is on for the kidnapped witness and the men behind her capture. The twist comes all the way back to the beginning for why the Protectors were hired.
Personal Synopsis
This episode is about a robbery that one of the thieves tries to frame the accomplice to keep the whole take. The storyline is nothing new to crime fiction but I did enjoy the premise, especially with the scenes from 1970’s Paris. Also the continuity is funny in this series because a supposed “Protector” is also a crook in another episode. Nonetheless a good watch.
