took each other out of the game.

The guy with the apple has more or less

stayed true to my first impression.

A Bad Ass with macho affectations

who's talking sh*t even if no one listens.

One thing I was wrong about, though.

When I already thought he was out of the game

and completely out of the blue,

he was back with a vengeance

and came out on top for a while.

A property that makes him dangerous.

Because I think he will go very far

to get what he wants!

The baldie, on the other hand,

has revealed himself to me in the first round already.

A strictly systematic player,

always sticking to his plan.

But that's not how this game works.

You can't play by the book. Just as life doesn't follow rules.

Only one move can destroy everything!

And then?

You have to improvise, adapt to the situation.

Stay in control and try to outplay your opponents.

He didn't do any of this!

In the end, I only played against her,

the beautiful stranger.

I had the chance to finish the game,

but for some reason I let her go on.

I can't tell you why.

But I know that I have to find out exactly that.

What would she have done in my place?

Would she have given me a chance

or taken me out, stone cold?

That is one of the key questions in this whole game.

Before we go on,

a quick recap on what's happened so far.

The stranger is in the warehouse,

waiting for the salesman.

The salesman shows up,

together with his accomplice.

He enters, the accomplice waits outside and

goes into action whenever there are problems.

But what about the cop?

The cards have been shuffled and dealt.

Another chance, another bet.

The bets have been made.

I've been dealt a new hand.

Let a new round begin!

The stranger

The salesman

The accomplice

The cop

The cop

My name is Ben Borgmann.

I'm a cop.

It's important to be concerned about the details,

no matter how small or unimpressive

they appear to be.

You have to try to be a step ahead!

A few days ago I discovered such a detail.

The hint wasn't sufficient for my boss

to induce an observation.

But a smart cop has to trust in his intuition

and go his own way.

And that's exactly what

I'm doing right now!

Sh*t! You're late!

Look at this apple.

I started eating when I came in!

Can we begin?

I don't like people who are late.

Reminds me of my ex, you know?

No matter what time we had agreed,

she always came too late.

Once I told her specially the wrong time...

but she came too late again!

Would you please stop talking,

I don't care!

The deal was to meet you here at 9:30pm.

It's 9:
31pm and 15 seconds right now.

I walked through the door at 9:30pm.

That means I was absolutely right on time!

So...here are the goodies. Check it.
