DIRECTOR: The Dark Eye - Old Man scene does not always play

[arrowgent]

in the final scene of "Tell tale heart - Old man" the cutscene (shown in screenshots attached) does not always play if you select A), B), C)
however if you select C) + C) or A+C+C or B+C+C then the video will play

when it doesnt play, it just skips the video sequence and goes straight to the bed view.

the other two videos appeared to play consistently. unsure if brute forcing could cause them to also fail to play

i didnt see any error log reporting about it being skipped?
video that doesnt play consistently:

TH:TE:thomnadr.mov

folder:
.../dark_eye/dkydata/th/te/thomnadr.mov

save area:

NUMCLK 64
VISITD 1
COMPLT 1

CURLOC TH,TE,N01,V03

i will have to replay the whole thing to get a working savegame file

savegame provided at end of scene.
click ON HEAD MENU: red heart box with white glowing outline
turn to desk, sit, extinguish candle, turn left and go to bed.

once 3 choices pop up, randomly select choices.

first 2 always play, 3rd will fail
unknown if this is by design...

i was able to play all three just once

Door, killer, lady photo
which played all 3 correctly before the bed scene

trying in any other order causes the 3rd video to be skipped
