What the!?
*Oscuro immediately raises his gun*
Paul Volkov: Detective Morgan...?
I... can't believe it... they were in Venezuela...?
Paul: Move to the edge... and jump off when I tell you, detective, or I'll shoot.
Isn't he interested in how I found him? Goddamnit... I didn't see this coming...
Wait! I'll tell him I was sent to kill him... I'm not a detective anymore. That would spark his interest...
Paul: You're in the Triad??? Why should I believe that?
I'll tell him I knew he'd be here because Ri Zhou sent me...
Paul: Right... so you're a double agent. Of course. I'm going to call Ri Zhou right now to tell him you are a cop.
I need to tell him Ri Zhou sent me to kill him.
Paul: That's not possible... Ri Zhou sent you to kill me...?
I'll tell him that there are others... I'm not the only assassin. I need him to drop his weapon.
Paul: My brother... and Ri Zhou... they want me dead?
Whoa... wait a sec... he has the scar... this is Paul Volkov... and he just said that his brother is with Ri Zhou... Nikita was in Hong Kong this whole time?
Paul: And why didn't you shoot me as I walked over here... if that was your job?
I should tell him I will not kill him; I just want to bring justice... for Natalie, of course...
Paul: So, you want me to confess...
Maybe I should tell him I want to catch the greater evil... Ri Zhou himself. This way, I can appear as an ally, and then backstab him.
Paul: You want information on Ri Zhou...
I will grant you this wish, but only if you spare my brother and me, we wanted to move here to start our new life.
Nikita and I want a new life for ourselves. We want a family, we want to leave the crime life.
This is not the Paul Volkov I know... is this why Ri Zhou sent me here? Paul must be convincing his brother to leave the Triad... Ri Zhou wants to control Nikita...
Of course, I can grant you immunity, Paul Volkov... hahahaha the power is all mine!
Paul: The old me would have killed you instantly... but I've changed a bit, I suppose...
I have a place that we can meet tomorrow... Alex... Ri Zhou has a lot of power, how can you ensure I live...?
Ensure you live... Well, that's funny because I'm actually going to kill you. But I will tell him Interpol will protect him.
Paul: Interpol, they have been trying to locate my brother and me for years...
Bring the police to the meeting location tomorrow... and I need full immunity.

Using the money Ri Zhou gave me, I should be able to hire 4 professional hitmen... but how can I ensure Paul dies?

- 🔍Where do I get the bomb?
- 🔍Is the location discreet?
- 🔍What if Paul doesn't show up?

I should equip them with Kevlar.

I'll need to show up in a car that has fake red and blue lights on the inside. This will reduce suspicion if he gets there before us.

I can't risk Paul Volkov seeing me tampering with something at the meeting location.
Scheme: Secret Explosives
- 🔍How can I plant the bombs secretly?
- 🔍I will need to make the bomb very small.
- 🔍Can I have one man as a sniper?
- 🔍I need a remote to set the bombs off.

I should probably create it myself. I've done this before...

I should embed them in a walkie-talkie that I give my men for communication.
Back-Up Plan
- 🔍Paul had an EMP in the asylum...
- 🔍I can't think of a back-up plan...
- 🔍If he breaks my remote, I could lose.
- 🔍I could fake my death...

It won't be very powerful as a result, so each hitman will need a secret explosive.

The region has no high ground... and no nearby buildings. Paul picked a location that would be difficult to set a trap at.

I will need to leave the abandoned building before I blow it up, so I need a remote to activate the bombs.

In case of an EMP, I will need a back-up plan.
Back to Step 1
- 🔍I need to hire hitmen.
- 🔍What would give my men an advantage?
- 🔍What if Paul suspects the trap?
- 🔍I should not show up too early.

I don't know of another way to ensure he dies...

- 🔍I should not show up too early.

It's four versus one, but I shouldn't underestimate him... If my remote control explosives don't blow up, I have no way of ensuring victory.

I think my last resort would be faking my death and shooting him if he turns away...

1. What weapon will ensure Paul's death?
2. Where will the weapon be hidden?
3. What device could ruin my plan?
The Plan
If the ambush on Paul Volkov fails, I can simply detonate the explosives...
Actually... now that I think of it, I can bring justice to all of these horrible criminals... I will detonate the explosives either way... they all need to die, including Paul Volkov.
