It's used for powerful magnets, but breaks down in the presence of extreme heat, cold or stress. She thinks it has something to do with a mine in Patagonia that was found to contain a "rare earth mineral" called Neodymium. Jean-Guy and Louiselle confront Séverine, who says that she's been looking into the same things after noticing their boss, Carole Gossette, is involved with some random projects. Louiselle says someone wants something that Stephen has and hasn't found it yet. After a confrontation, Louiselle admits that he was tasked with scaring Jean-Guy off, but he's warning Jean-Guy instead about SecurFort's (security company owned by GHS) interest in him. Jean-Guy later followed by a company guard, Louiselle. He digs around his colleague, Séverine's, computer to find out what is going on at GHS. Jean-Guy is Armand's son-in-law and former second-in-command, who now works for GHS.
After going through security footage at Stephen's hotel, Armand finds a tampered video that accidentally left in a clip of Claude, Girard and Eugénie Roquebrune (the GHS president) having tea right before the attacks. Armand deduces that the police must've already been compiling this information on Stephen before the attacks. Armand and his family are questioned aggressively by the police, and they oddly have a lot of dirt on Stephen's family, despite him being the victim and them only having begun the investigation a few hours ago. Reine-Marie learns that both Claude and Thierry Girard, Claude's former second-in-command, wear the same cologne.
They also find out that Stephen had an interest in a large engineering company called GHS, which is having a board meeting at a nearby hotel soon.Īrmand and his wife Reine-Marie find it suspicious that the room had smelled like Claude, the Prefect of Police in Paris, when they'd entered to find Plessner's body. Initial investigation reveals that he man is Alexander Plessner, a venture capitalist, who had clearly known Stephen well (he's found with a special business card marked JSPS permitted access to any of Stephen's accounts). However, Stephen is intentionally hit by a car while crossing the street and the next day the body of an unknown man is found in Stephen's apartment. Armand Gamache, a senior officer in the Québec police, and his godfather, billionaire Stephen Horowitz, are in Paris for the birth of Armand's granddaughter.
