I am not sure if this is so, but one explanation is simply that she wanted Langdon by her side assisting only her, so she would get to the plastic bag before anyone else... that would explain the gunshot setup, and why they wanted him to be disoriented enough to not really remember that he actually was on the side of WHO.
However, why on earth would WHO be following clues left for the Evil Guy's girlfriend, this I am unsure of.... I dozed off a few times, and so perhaps I missed an explanation for this. And if Langdon is working for WHO in the beginning, why would he steal the Dead Mask? Why steal it at all, the situation surely warranted for close inspection by the damn W H O..
... and also it seems a bit odd that you would induce memory lose in a dude whose memories you need... arh... well, bring in the spaceship Brian.
PS: As I watched it the one oddity I disliked the most, was; "you need two bombs to set off the virus...". And then we see a damn plastic bag, where a knife would be overdoing it... so easy to fix this nonsense in the script had they wanted to.
... and that Langdon seemed ignorant to the Basilica Cistern in Instanbul was face palming. Perhaps the cities most famous landmark for tourists. Clark Griswald perhaps.... but not Langdon.
