In a replaying of past events, Jean recruits Raballo, a retired member of the Carabinieri, to be Claes' handler. Initially, Claes finds it difficult to cope with Raballo's relentless training and strict businesslike relationship. However, after the two begin fishing together, they acquire a closer relationship. One day, Raballo quits the agency, and gives Claes her old glasses and a key to his room so she can read all the books she wants. He has her promise that she will always be gentle while wearing her glasses; Raballo then contacts a journalist for a meeting. Afterward, Jean informs Claes that Raballo was killed in a hit-and-run incident, causing her to break down mentally. Claes, unable to go on missions, is brainwashed again and used for scientific tests concerning her mechanical components. However, she enjoyed passing the time by reading, and other tasks, such as growing a vegetable patch.
