When you have to kill two and can save
 only one, who will you choose, Zhao?
عندما يكون عليك قتل اثنتين ويمكنك إنقاذ
واحدة فقط، من ستختار؟
Wenn du zwei töten müsstest
und könntest nur eine retten,
Cuando tengas que matar a dos
y salvar solo a una, ¿a quién elegirás?
Cuando tengas que matar a dos
y salvar solo a una, ¿a quién elegirás?
Lorsque viendra le moment
où tu ne pourras en sauver qu’une,
Quando dovrai ucciderne due e salvarne solo una, 
chi sceglierai, Zhao?
Se tivesse que matar duas e só pudesse
escolher uma, quem escolheria, Zhao?
Если тебе придётся убить двух и спасти
лишь одну, кого ты выберешь, братец?
