Die nag bo Kaapstad was helder en gespanne.

The night over Cape Town was bright and tense.

Berg en stad saamgevat in 'n blink spel lig en skadu.

Mountain and city captured in a dazzling play of light and shadow.

Charl staan op die dak van die casino.

Charl stands on the roof of the casino.

Hy kyk na die spel tafels en die spelers.

He looks at the gaming tables and the players.

Charl, 'n private speurder, sit aan die poker tafel.

Charl, a private detective, sits at the poker table.

Hy het 'n missie: vind die bedriegter.

He has a mission: find the cheater.

Huurbaar deur die casino, hy moet sorg dat die spel reg bly.

Hired by the casino, he must ensure the game remains fair.

Langs hom sit Jannie.

Next to him sits Jannie.

Jannie lyk ontspanne, maar Charl weet hy is meer as wat hy wys.

Jannie looks relaxed, but Charl knows he is more than he appears.

Die wind waai koud en ysig oor die dak.

The wind blows cold and icy over the roof.

Binne is die atmosfeer warm en gespanne.

Inside, the atmosphere is warm and tense.

Spelers kyk na hul kaarte en mekaar.

Players look at their cards and each other.

Chips word gestapel, inskrywings gemaak.

Chips are stacked, bets are placed.

Charl bestudeer elke beweging, elke oogwenk.

Charl studies every movement, every blink.

Hy merk hoe Jannie se vingers liggies beweeg oor sy kaarte, asof hy iets aanvoel.

He notices how Jannie’s fingers lightly move over his cards, as if sensing something.

Elke speler speel sy hand.

Each player plays his hand.

Charl maak klein weddenskappe, niks te opvallend.

Charl makes small bets, nothing too noticeable.

Hy kyk hoe Jannie telkens wen, amper te maklik.

He watches how Jannie wins repeatedly, almost too easily.

Charl weet hy moet nader aan Jannie kom, nader aan die waarheid.

Charl knows he must get closer to Jannie, closer to the truth.

"All in," sê Jannie skielik.

"All in," says Jannie suddenly.

'n Paar spelers trek terug, maar Charl bly kalm.

A few players pull back, but Charl remains calm.

Hy maak 'n groot weddenskap, wetend dit is sy plan om die bedriegter vas te trek.

He makes a big bet, knowing this is his plan to catch the cheater.

Jannie glimlag, seker van homself.

Jannie smiles, confident in himself.

Charl het lank na Jannie gekyk.

Charl had watched Jannie for a long time.

Elke keer as Jannie 'n goeie hand kry, tap hy sy voet effens.

Every time Jannie gets a good hand, he taps his foot slightly.

Dis 'n klein teken, maar genoeg vir Charl.

It’s a small sign, but enough for Charl.

Met 'n finale weddenskap, Charl roep Jannie's bluf.

With a final bet, Charl calls Jannie's bluff.

Die kaarte word oopgemaak.

The cards are revealed.

Jannie se hand lyk sterk, maar Charl het 'n sterker hand.

Jannie’s hand looks strong, but Charl has a stronger hand.

Jannie se gesig val en die kamers fluister skielik op.

Jannie’s face falls, and the room suddenly whispers.

"Dis verby," sê Charl, met selfvertroue.

"It’s over," says Charl, with confidence.

Charl wys na die kamera’s, die beveiliging personeel neem Jannie weg.

Charl points to the cameras, the security personnel take Jannie away.

Hulle het al dieselfde patroon gesien, Jannie se truuks bevestig.

They had seen the same pattern, confirming Jannie’s tricks.

Charl het sy missie vervul, hy neem 'n diep asem.

Charl completed his mission, he takes a deep breath.

Terug in sy kantoor, Charl dink aan die aand.

Back in his office, Charl thinks about the evening.

Hy het geduld nodig, aandagtig bly, en die belangrikheid van klein detail geleer.

He needed patience, attentiveness, and learned the importance of small details.

Hy is nou 'n beter speurder en sal altyd onthou die wedstryd hoog op die dak.

He is now a better detective and will always remember the game high on the roof.
