But it appears that the fall will not be to the street level, but to the rooftop of another building…  he should be able to survive that fall.

Talking to yourself in the third person?  Then calling out your situation to no one in particular?  Finally, letting go a scream?  I’m telling you, campers, this is riveting stuff.

I will say, however, that George pretty much nailed it with his comment yesterday:

Thankfully we are provided a little summary to open this installment… Otherwise we’d be asking the question, “What are we doing again?”

And what are we looking at in the middle frame?  Boot Bracelets?  Is that a thing?  In a world where Raul could just as easily climb down to the street level, this kind of “action” is reminiscent of a “Die Hard” movie…  Pick your poison- they are all extremely watchable, but clearly John McClane takes a beating every time just for beating’s sake…  to burnish his “hero” status.  This guy, Raul, is just an idiot.

Is the Professor playing dumb here??

Is he knowingly leading his “old friend” into a trap?  We really don’t know who to trust, do we?  We have to follow the money… that’s the only way we would know for sure… He or she who profiteth is he or she who, uhm… I don’t know… Stealeth?
