Shut up and put the gun down!

What can we accomplish?

We can win. I deliver the goods,

you get the money. Just as planned.

Nothing works as planned!

Shut up and put the gun down now!

It's ok!

We just have to do it together.

We can't!

What?

Everyone here stands alone!

Every one of us plays by his own rules.

You did, he did, I will too.

But we're both responsible for this!

No!

You are responsible for this!

What the f*** is going on?

Who is that guy?

And who is the dead guy?

Calm down, I'll explain later.

Is this the suitcase with the money?

If you'd be in my position,

would you collaborate?

Would you help me? Or set me free?

The Answer would have been yes!

Yes, I would have helped her.

Yes, I would have let her get away.

But she will never get to know the answer!

Because no matter which cards I would have had,

I would always have underestimated him!

He won the game!

The game where only one player can win.

But this time it isn't a game!

No round been followed by a next one!

No new cards been shuffled and dealt!

Because this time, it's reality!

My name is Ben Borgman.

But I am not an accomplice, waiting in front of the warehouse,

ready to snatch the money to start a new life.

And I am also not a cop, who's doing a one man show

to arrest everyone who is involved.

And I can't even tell you, that those are the real reasons

why everybody is here or why they act the way they do.

It's just that this way, it makes scenes to me!

I am an undercover agent.

Unfortunately that part of the story

is sadly true!

Because I lost the game!

I missed my own rules.

I didn't keep the control and

misjudged my opponents.

In the end,

it's all about that!

In the reality, you can only play once!

Only with your own cards!

Actually there's another round to play.

the salesman!

But I think, my time is running out.

So I ask you.

How would you play this game?

Would you wait and see?

Or just playing...
