Genevieve attends a dinner party at Lorraine's Paris “cottage” where Lorraine and his supporters fail to win over a rival politician opposed to Lorraine's imperialist agenda.

Meanwhile, Julien examines the temple, a strange collection of Greek, Jewish and ancient Middle-eastern symbols. The temple lets out into the office of Hugo deMedici, a powerful merchant prince and a political ally of Lorraine.

The Man in White discovers Julien in the office and gives chase. Julien's street urchin friends come to his rescue and sling rocks at the Man in White. A stone hits the Man in White squarely in the temple. He falls into a sewage channel, apparently dead.
