As Juliet walks along the street, she spots a familiar figure. She calls out the name he used to use, but he pretends not to recognise her. Is he, Juliet wonders, still working as an MI5 agent? Juliet knows he cannot have forgotten her, because they were both involved in a grim undertaking during the darkest days of the Second World War.
