Someone is trying to assassinate Marc Spector, but before he can find out why, the shooter kills himself. Crawley informs Marc of strange experiments being conducted on homeless people, so Marc investigates and discovers that The Company is behind them. Marc contacts an old colleague (and fling), Candace Calder, who still works for them, and arranges a meeting, much to Marlene''s dismay. During the meeting, Marc is shot at, and after taking chase, the assassins kill themselves also.
