Gabriel calls in a favor with Christopher Bittle, the director-general of Switzerland’s security and intelligence service. Bittle calls the chief of police in Geneva and asks them to be discreet in handling the murder at the gallery. When the police arrive at the gallery, Gabriel has shredded his forged paintings. The security guard at the gallery informs them that Ricard had a visitor named Andreas Hoffman, but the security footage of this person’s entrance and exit to the gallery has been erased. When Bittle arrives in Geneva, he chastises Gabriel for not coming to him in the first place. Gabriel argues that legal action doesn’t help with returning stolen Holocaust art to its rightful owners. Bittle says that he will hide Gabriel and Anna’s involvement. Bittle also suggests that Ingrid hack into the Geneva Freeport’s computer network.

The police hide the guestbook that lists Anna and Gabriel entering the gallery, the sales agreement for the forged paintings, and all other evidence of Anna and Gabriel’s visit to Geneva. Gabriel and Ingrid lie low, staying in cheap hotels because Ingrid has committed theft at the luxury hotels that Gabriel prefers. Ingrid gets into the Freeport network within 24 hours but is held back by a password.
