A neon lit city at night. People bustling about. A man walks into a dimly lit room and activates a glowing white button. Several red lights glow in response and a banks a displays light up showing mysterious cloaked figures. The figures on the tv and the man have a back and forth conversation. The figures end the conversation and the displays go dark. The man leaves the building making a phone call..

A police office building in Leningrad. An investigator is handed a case file. A second investigator looks up from his paper to see his partner adding a photo to a cork board. Examining the file, the first investigator appears deep in thought, while his partner watches on. A captain comes out of his office and calls the second investigator in to talk. The second investigator returns to his office, lighting a cigarette, to find his partner gone. Cut to his partner sitting in a car looking a tag with red star on it in and small bag. He drives away.
