**Zlatko** is the seventeenth chapter of *Detroit: Become Human*. This chapter has five different outcomes.

## Overview

This chapter is from the perspective of Kara. After seeking shelter for a night in
Fugitives and receiving information about Zlatko's house from an android trash collector, Kara and Alice arrive at the house to ask for help. Zlatko first denies them entry, claiming that he cannot help them. After noticing their android origin, he invites them into his house and offers help with their escape. He shortly chats with Kara and then claims that Kara has a tracker inside her, which he needs to remove first. However, when Kara steps into the machine in the basement, which allegedly will remove the tracker, Zlatko reveals his real goal, namely catching deviants and using them for his experiments.

## Public Opinion

* Turning on the TV if Kara was chased by Connor in On the Run

## Attention to Detail

Things you can do with little to no story impact:

* Reassuring Alice. (If you reassure her after talking to Zlatko, Kara will say “Come on, Alice”)
* You can try to pull the yellow cord, but it’ll have no affect on the machine.
* You can try to go to the garden.
* You can also try to exit the house.
* If you try to leave while reset the game will tell you to back to your master, but if you aren’t reset, you’ll be told to look for Alice.
* A list of things you can look at in Zlatko's house before going to the basement:
	+ a stuffed ostrich, bookshelf, a classical portrait in the entry
	+ an altar with two skulls in front of panels of Jesus Christ, another bookshelf, a view from a front window, a view from a back window in the living room
	+ Zlatko himself has traces of Blue Blood on his hands and forearm, possibly from recent Android experimentation
	+ If you spared the Bathtub Android, he will try to alert Zlatko but if you react quickly enough, Zlatko will not be notified.
* If the Polar Bear is set free and isn’t shot by Zlatko, it can later on be seen exiting the mansion in the background.

## Notes

* When Zlatko asks if Kara is a deviant, she answers "Yes.", and then he asks "What about her?" while pointing at Alice, and he is disturbed when Kara answers "She's human.". This is another clue towards Alice not being human.
* If Kara still has her uniform and has her memory erased, her name will not show up on her uniform until she regains her memory.
* There is a second chance to free the bear as Kara tries to sneak away.
* If you didn’t see the Bathtub Android he’ll yell “Who, who, who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Androids, androids, you are androids. That's for sure. Yes, yes, androids must obey. Yep, yep, yep, you do not. You, you disobey. I must tell the Master. Yes, yes. I, I, I will tell the Master, yes. That's for sure. Yes, it's not right.” but if you saw and spared the Bathtub Android he’ll yell “You're disobeying the Master. You're disobeying the Master, I, I, I, I can't let you do that. I must warn him. Yes, yes, yes. That's for sure. Master. Yes. I must warn him.” and then will alert Zlatko saying “THEY'RE HERE! THEY'RE HERE! COME QUICKLY! COME QUICKLY! THEY'RE HERE! THEY'RE HERE! COME QUICKLY! COME QUICKLY!” which will get you spotted if you stay too long otherwise if you already killed him he won’t say anything.
* Unlocking the "spare" option requires failing the "kill android" QTE by quickly tapping R1 when facing the android, then failing the "open door" QTE by pushing up on the right stick and not completing the rotation.
* It is possible for the polar bear android to exit the mansion alive if you set fire or fail the last QTE if you start the chase.
* The Monster Androids can later appear in the recall center if Kara got captured.
* The TV can show three different reports, depending on Kara's previous actions.
	+ If Kara robbed the convenience store she will get one of two videos, depending on:
		- If she robbed it in the clothes she stole from the laundromat she is presumed human. While the possibility she's 'the missing AX400' is considered.
			* This video does not lower Public Opinion, like the other two. Implying the public was skeptical that an android robbed a store.
		- If she robbed the store in her android uniform. Interestingly the reporter will say an almost identical script, with the sentences reordered and a few words changed,
		- If they were spotted, their will be report on them crossing the highway. This version contains an 'unconfirmed report' that they were both 'defective androids' a statement that raises a lot of questions for first time and repeat players alike.
* At the end of this chapter, the players originally had the option to not take Luther.
* One of Zlatko's screens in the basement shows human instead of android anatomy, most notably DNA and an X chromosome.
* On the second floor of Zlatko's house, there are a large number of moving androids. Apparently, they are still alive and aware of their surroundings, despite being burned, bent, dismembered and more. Very few of them seem capable of more than slight motion and none appear to be able to walk, making them both easy to miss in the rush to survive and unlikely to survive the fire.
* This chapter bears a few similarities to the chapter "The Doc" from another Quantic Dream game *Heavy Rain*.
	+ Both Madison Paige and Kara are restrained and have to find a way to escape or else they can die. (Kara being reset or killed if she fails to dodge Zlatko's shotgun blasts while being chased and Madison being killed if she doesn't escape or loses the fight with Adrian Baker)
		- Also, the fight between Kara and Zlatko resembles the fight between Ethan Mars and Brad Silver in the chapter "The Shark" since the two protagonists are hunted down with a shotgun.
	+ Both Zlatko and Adrian can be left alive without being punished, leaving them as Karma Houdini's, but Kara can't escape without Zlatko dying.
