He recognizes Atilla who attended to him previously when he injured his hand.

Doctor Atilla tells Maria Ayaz, who is unaware that Atilla is raping his patients, to go home. Atilla erases all evidence of their presence in the apartment and dumps Irene's body in the sea. He then murders Maria to silence her.

When Paul accuses Atilla of being the abortionist Atilla flees the country. Paul faces life in jail but the police find Atilla's fingerprints in the abortion apartment. Karacan gives Paul his card and Paul returns to South Africa.

Seven years later, Doctor Atilla, practicing neurosurgery in South Africa under the name Ismet Allita, hears of a psychological researcher, Selwyn Brink, who has invented a microchip which, when implanted in the human brain, blocks individual distant memories. Allita finds out that Brink is financing his research through drug dealing.

When Paul Parker sustains serious head injuries in a car accident Allita is appointed to operate on him. Allita recognizes Paul and blackmails Selwyn Brink into providing him with a memory-blocking microchip. He implants the processed chip in Paul's brain, blocking Paul's memory of him.

Then things go wrong.
