Special highlight: the company has hired two over-the-hill actors to kidnap the consultants with unloaded weapons, keep them hostage, and to demand a high ransom from the company. A realistic role play with fun factor!

Meanwhile, HR manager Vanessa is observing what‘s happening via video surveillance and now has to find a way to keep the hostage situation from escalating...
