Before getting to the security office, the culprit is set up and left alone with his interrogator for an hour so that maybe they could get the information they need.

The two men stroll in an unknown city and come to their young days. The time ends. The interrogator who’s been impressed by the culprit, tries to get him back to life and since he doesn’t succeed in doing so, he goes mad.
