It is two weeks before the murder. Jon is in the restaurant, mulling over Henry’s suggestion. The woman at the bar has just sent him a drink. He strikes up a conversation and learns she is a banker and a ski enthusiast named Mia Reiter. She remembers Jon’s glory days, which his ego responds to. Mia is seductive and Jon hopes that they will sleep together but she leaves the restaurant, kissing him lightly. Later, he learns that she paid for his dinner as well as the drink.

As Jon follows the woman outside the restaurant, he is unaware of someone in a car taking pictures of him.
