That French assassin that Ruth had the run-in with, was in London to kill the Mafia bloke - who was bringing in 50 million Euros laundered money. But we also know that when the Chinese heard Lucas tell Vaughn that he was having problems locating the Albany file, they called and told to a French person that there was a problem. Now, this creates two possibilities:
1. The Chinese were working on their own, planning to steal the laundered money to pay for the Albany file, using the French mercenary to kill Mafia Guy. Maybe French mercenary was also there for another job, namely to kill Vaughn, Lucas and anyone else who knows about China's plans re the Alabny file.
2. The Chinese and Russians are working together to get Albany, and the Russians knew about the mafia money shipment and decided to steal it with the help of the Chinese (and the French mercenary would do the dirty work), then neither government would have to come up with the money to pay for it.

I hear you on this one. When Ruth wakes up, the assassin asks her how much she knows. When she says "everything," he looks at her for a moment before he decides that she is lying again. He was asking her how much she knows about the overall plot. She took it as how much do you know about Deery. Or she was bluffing. Either way, he is more involved in the Albany plot. Can anyone translate the phone conversation he had? I assume it was to inquire about what to do with Deery and Ruth? I imagine Ruth understood it because when Deery asked her if the assassin was going to kill them she pretty much said that he was going to try.

My question still remains, how does all that fit in with the Dakar bombing?

The only part of the French assassin's conversation which I caught was "ce n'est pas la meme chose" - "it (or that) is not the same thing"

I'll have to listen again more carefully tonight.
