Instead of playing safe, I used the first

chance I got, to attack my opponents.

When everything went haywire,

I adapted to the situation,

kept cool and improvised.

The baldy followed his method.

He was insecure, helpless

and without control.

If something happening, that's not planned,

he is losing the overview of the game...

...and tries to adapt to his opponents.

But like I said, it doesn't work like that.

I wonder if he even knows

how the game works.

But the question is does it matter?

The Bad Ass followed his method too.

But I'm beginning to think

that that's exactly his style!

He just tries to confuse his opponents,

to get control!

But in the middle of the game,

he was trying to warn to me.

I think he knows more than he admits.

I have to ask myself,

what if I would listen to him?

Last but not least, it was all about her again.

This time she had a very strong hand,

enough potential to show her aggressive and radical side.

I had another chance to finish the game,

but I let her go on again.

And, again, I ask myself why?

I feel attracted to her

and want to help her.

Maybe that's the answer and reason,

why I'm here!

The Unknown

My name is Ben Borgmann.

I work as an undercover agent,

for seven months.

It took me long to enter one

of the most important syndicates.

And even longer to get a chance.

The possibility has come.

That's my chance!

The goal of my work!

If I get this deal done,

I'm in the top league.

In my position discretion is the most important thing.

Only my boss knows who and where I am.

I will do my very best to keep it that way!

Do you have what I want?

I have what we had agreed!

We agreed to come alone!

I stick to agreements.

So take a look around.

I like what I see!

You seem self confident!

I just want to know who I am dealing with.

Then, let's go back to business!

You can start!

Don't move and

raise your hands!

Stop moving!

Keep calm!

Who are you?

I'm a cop! You have the right to shut up...

blablabla...you're arrested!

You, throw your guns away...now!

Ok, you're a cop.

Believe me, you're making a big mistake!

Stay there and shut the f*** up!

I'm not the one you think I am!

Take my phone from my left pocket, slowly!

If you call the police,

everything was for nothing!

Take the damn phone!

You got to listen to me!

I don't give a f***.

Take the phone!

I am a cop...just like you!

My cover will blown if you call the police!

Redial...now!

It's true, we're on the same side!

Stop talking sh*t and

shut the f*** up!

Take my phone, call my boss,

he will confirm, I'm a cop...

What's that supposed to be?

It's not my fault, that you killed the guy.

I don't give a sh*t who or what you are.
