He is thwarted by two Mossad agents and a British police officer and his own daughter who, not recognizing him prevents Scholland from killing her husband, one of the Mossad agents, by shooting him, not being aware that he is her father as it is years since he left her with her aunt. The assassin is later murdered whilst in hospital recovering from his wounds, by another hit man also hired by the people who had recruited him as revenge for his having killed one of their own men.
