[[caption-width-right:350:'''Elliot:''' First, someone diverts BØB during re-entry... Then we find a dead spy near the wreckage, and another spy injured... There must be a connection!]]
The Bureau rushes to the Northern Canadian wilderness near Quebec to intercept BØB, whose trajectory was forcibly redirected and now has crashed somewhere in the forest, to get the satellite's hard drive and use it to prove SOMBRA's existence. Taking Carmen and Elliot with them, the player rushes to the zone of the crash, where they find the body of French spy Jean Connerie stabbed in the back, Mossad agent Asal Hawaa gravely injured, and the hard drive missing.
!!Tropes:
*AgentsDating: Asal and Jean were dating at the time of Jean's death, something that Jack doesn't take very well when he hears about it.
*AllForNothing: The Bureau's efforts to prevent the United States leaving the Unified Nations is rendered moot in this case when President Hewett announces that the US will no longer be affiliated with the UN.
*AllYourPowersCombined: During the Additional Investigation, the Bureau, the MGB, the CIA, and the [=MI6=] join forces to recover the hard drive that SOMBRA stole, finally giving those organizations a change at fighting against SOMBRA.
*BackForTheDead: Jean Connerie, who you met all the way back in [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase10ISpyAMummy Case 10]], makes a return here as the victim.
*BackStab: Jean was ultimately killed this way after fighting his attacker.
*BadassInDistress: Asal, a Mossad agent who always had the upper hand against the Bureau, gets gravely injured during a mission and almost gets killed by Jean's murderer.
-->'''Carmen:''' Asal's a tough cookie... If she got so badly injured, something horrible must've gone down here.
*BearsAreBadNews: When you first encounter him, Vadim tells Carmen and the player they should flee the scene before the polar bears get attracted to Jean's blood, since they're much more aggressive and dangerous than the grizzly bear he fought back in Russia.
*BecomingTheMask: During his interrogation, Vadim tells you he got distracted while following Jean because [[CutenessProximity he saw two polar bear cubs]] and, since he's posing as a wildlife enthusiast, he sometimes gets too much inside of his cover.
*TheBusCameBack: Every suspect [[BackForTheDead and even the victim]] are people you previously met during your world travel: Anya Ivanova, Vadim Efremov, and Forrest Hunt were [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionEurasiaRegion last seen in Russia]], while Asal Hawaa and George Pryce made their last appearances [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionSouthAmericaRegion in South America.]]
*ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject: Lars tries to do this after Elliot teases him because he's getting a little too close with Jack.
-->'''Elliot:''' I don't know what you're talking about... Vanna and I are only texting!
-->Unlike you and your bro Jack, with your movie nights and-
-->'''Lars:''' Hey, let's talk about more important matters...
*CityOfSpies: Every suspect and even the victim in this case are/were spies in one way or another: Asal for the Mossad, Forrest for the CIA, Vadim and Anya for the MGB, George for the [=MI6=], and Jean for an unknown French organization.
*{{Cliffhanger}}: The case ends with the Bureau discovering that the new El Rey will be in Montreal, which leads to a race to inform the Canadian Prime Minister about them and SOMBRA.
*CollapsedMidSpeech: When you find Asal gravely injured at the start, she asks for you help and tries to explain what happened before blacking out.
*ContinuityNod: Due to every suspect and the victim being returning characters, lots of events are referenced during your interrigations with them, such as [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase16FastTrackToMurder that time Vadim fought against a bear]] or [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase18CountdownToMurder Anya being fired from the MGB.]]
*ADayInTheLimelight: A minor one for Elliot, as he becomes one your partners during Chapter 1 since he decides to accompany you to the crash site.
*IDidWhatIHadToDo: Anya says this word by word during her trial, claiming that she had to kill for SOMBRA.
-->'''Anya:''' I did what I had to do, Your Honor. Agents are trained to kill and be killed if necessary.
*EatTheEvidence: Jean ate a microfilm containing classified information and how El Rey would be in Montreal, which requires Grace to analyse his stomach during the Additional Investigation to retrieve it.
*FaceHeelTurn: Anya, previously a MGB agent and also COSMORUS worker, is revealed to be working for SOMBRA now, changing sides after realizing they were the ones with the biggest chance to win.
*FallenHero: Anya became a murderer and a SOMBRA agent after years of working for national security and the world's well-being, since she saw no point in fighting a battle that seemed hopeless.
*IFightForTheStrongestSide: Anya's reason [[FaceHeelTurn for deciding to work for SOMBRA]] can be resumed to pretty much this.
-->'''Carmen:''' YOU? You work for SOMBRA? You used to be hell-bent on bringing them down!
-->'''Anya:''' Until I realized they appreciated my talents so much more than the MGB or COSMORUS! I decided to join the winning side!
*FromBadToWorse: President Hewett announcing that the United States will be leaving the Unified Nations is seen as this, as it means a victory for SOMBRA after the Bureau's relentless efforts to bring them down and having to deal with a stolen hard drive and a dead spy.
*GuestStarPartyMember: Vadim, Forrest, and George join you during the Additional Investigation to help you recover the information that was stolen by Anya and hidden by Jean, providing you with some powerful weapons against SOMBRA.
*HarmfulToMinors: Elliot didn't expect to see a stabbed body while going to retrieve BØB's hard drive, which he apparently finds a little disturbing.
-->'''Carmen:''' Elliot, I'm sorry you had to see this scene. Sometimes, I forget you're only 17, and not used to leaving your tech lab...
*ImpliedDeathThreat: The killer left a message in a tablet telling the Bureau to back off from the investigation or else they would end up like Jean.
*IncrediblyObviousBug: [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase10ISpyAMummy Like last time]], Jean had a "hidden" camera sticking out of an apparently normal object, in this case a croissant.
*KickTheDog: Asal attempts to do this with the Bureau by telling Marina she has no right to accuse her of being a member of SOMBRA [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase18CountdownToMurder when her own mother is in prison because of it]] and also telling the player that he should "clean up his backyard" before [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase42InPlainSight someone else ends up being a traitor too.]]
*KissingInATree: Lars' newest KnockKnockJoke and musical number has him singing this regarding Elliot and Vanna, which leads to the ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject described above.
*LosingAShoeInTheStruggle: Asal is seen with tattered clothes in addition to her bruises due to being ambushed and knocked out by Jean's killer.
*NewJobEpisode: For Anya, as she had been fired from the MGB [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase18CountdownToMurder in her last appearance]] and was now working for COSMORUS, though the later turns out to be a sham as she's actually working for SOMBRA.
*NiceJobBreakingItHero: Carmen and the player indirectly lead to President James Hewett retiring the United States from the Unified Nations by marking Forrest, a CIA agent, as a suspect, which Hewett sees as a direct attack towards the country that the UN is endorsing.
*ObfuscatingInsanity: Vadim's obsession with mammoths and polar creatures turns out to be just a cover, as he's actually a MGB agent with high enough clearance to be assigned a mission involving following another spy.
*OperationBlank: Going with the case's name [[CityOfSpies and theme]], many operations and missions are mentioned throughout it, these being Opération Toutatis (Jean following George), Operation Silent Frog (Vadim following Jean), and Operation Falling Sky (George following [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers BØB]]).
*PatrioticFervor: Forrest explains to you that the reason why he and Jean got into a fight was because Jean insulted President Hewett, which Forrest couldn't tolerate as a patriotic CIA agent.
*PrecisionCrash: Thankfully {{Averted}}. Anya at least had the decency of redirecting BØB to an inhabited forest north of Canada instead of letting it crash near a populated area.
*RightUnderTheirNoses: After killing Jean, Anya took the hard drive from BØB and hid it inside of an ice box at a hotel.
*ScrewThisImOuttaHere: By the end of this case, Asal has been so fed up with the Mossad and Bureau's incompetence and SOMBRA agents that she decides to take a break by herself.
*SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Elliot claims that he and Vanna are "just texting" after Lars teases him with a KissingInATree song.
*ShoutOut: The case's title comes from the film Film/{{Skyfall}}
*SpyVersusSpy: Throughout the case, you learn that most of your suspects were against another one in some way: Vadim had been assigned to follow Jean, Jean to follow George, and Forrest to make sure none of them got into trouble. For her part, as a member of SOMBRA, Anya was enemies with everyone, and she was the one who killed Jean.
*UndercoverCopReveal: Vadim Efremov is revealed to be a member of the MGB, the Russian security agency.
*UngratefulBastard: Asal accuses Jack of being this, as she had just told you valuable information about where Jean was last seen (a hotel), which makes Jack jealous rather than grateful.
-->'''Asal:''' I thought you might say "thank you" for once, Jack. I see I was mistaken.
*VillainBall: For being a former member of the MGB and a SOMBRA agent, Anya did a really sloppy job covering her tracks and ultimately getting herself caught, from leaving her map inside of BØB after stealing the hard drive to also leaving the same kind of explosives she used to blow up the satellite's interior in the hotel with her fingerprints all over them. The final nail in the coffin is how she decides to hide the hard drive in, of all places, an ice box, making it easy for the Bureau to recover it.
*IWorkAlone: Asal hid information from the Bureau regarding where El Rey would be next because she had no reason to share it with them, claiming that each one is on their own.
*YouAreTooLate: By the time you arrive to the crashed satellite site, Jean's killer has already stolen the hard drive, which is what you wanted to obtain in the first place.
*YouCantThwartStageOne: SOMBRA manages to take the United States out of the Unified Nations in this case, giving them a victory in the grand scheme of things.
