In a shocking turn, Hauser pulls out a gun and methodically shoots each of the Germans surrounding him. He then captures a snapshot of one victim, showcasing his cold detachment and strategic planning against witnesses.

Meanwhile, reporter Natalie Hegalhuzen struggles to gain access to a trade show due to incorrect credentials. Her persistence symbolizes the challenges of truth-seeking within a corrupt system.

Despite initially rebuffing Natalie due to her political bias, Hauser later decides to meet her for drinks. This encounter leads to crucial relationship developments and deepens the narrative complexities.
