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.

I will check the money. Undisturbed!

Did you understand that?

Calm down man! I don't like it

when someone talk to me like that!

That's not my style.

So f*** you and take care!

Did you understand that!?

I just want to check the money...

so what's your problem?

I just wanted to test you.

Count your money boy!

Who the f*** are you?

Just shut up and raise your hands!

I'm a cop.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and so on...

You're making a big mistake...

Raise your hands!

I'm not the person you think...

Shut the f*** up!

Don't say a word and just shut up!

Listen to the baldy!

Who is Mira?

Mira?...my girlfriend.

She's not a part of this!

Yeah, sure!

Talk to her and tell her

that everything is working out.

She wants to talk to you!

Don't move,

don't turn around or...

A Browning is aimed right

at your handsome head.

I guess I have your full attention!

Listen to me closely, do exactly

as I tell you and everything will be ok!

Take the magazine from your gun

and put it down. Slowly!

Nice. And now take your phone

and throw it far away.

Just one more little thing and we're done!

I think I know what's next!

I'm pleased by men who pay attention!

Lay down on the ground and cross hands behind your back.

F***...Sh*t!

It's me! I need support! Urgently!

We can work that out later.

Now move your damn ass right here!

Hey cop!

Looks like we have a new player on board!

We should work together to get out of here!

We are playing in the same team!

Got that?

F***...damned!

I am here! Stop and show yourself!

Put the gun down!

Put the gun down!

Erik, come here!

Believe me, he won't kill you.

Erik, don't listen to her. I will shoot.

Stay where you are!

He bluffs...come here now!

Ok. I'm coming.

Eric, stay where you are!

Come here now!

Don't shoot!

Stop!

What?

Stop and turn around!

What's that all about, Mira?

Turn around!

Give me the suitcase with the money

or I will kill him!

You f***in' b*tch!

You will pay for this! You will...

I'm waiting!

You really think I'd mind if you shoot him?

Are you kidding me?

You're a cop!

Exactly! And I don't think you want to

have one more dead guy on your list!

And it looks like you're on your own.

No partner, no support?

Don't make it even worse!

Don't worry. I won't!

What do you do?

The b*tch will escape!

Don't worry,

she's not going to get far!

Get up!

I started with good cards in my hand,

but I can't say it was a good round.

It was pretty chaotic and difficult to keep control.

I wouldn't exactly call myself

the winner of that round,

but all that counts is the hand

you have at the end!

I changed my tactics.

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.

I just want to finish my job!

The guy stood in our way.

You did the right thing!

Yes...you're right.

And it's still possible to turn the page!

We can leave this place as winners!

With our suitcases.

As if nothing had happened!

We just have to take care of the dead guy!

Exactly... you will help me to get him outside.

Alright?

Alright!

Ok!

Take his leg.

Put the gun down!

What the hell is going on here?

What happened?

We can still make it!

We just have to work together.
