the
old man will do work for you?
As you know, I never do my work
without a good result.
The old man will certainly be helping me.
I do sense in me the God's gift of
an oppositionist and a leader.
I suppress people by my pressure.
By the logic of my thinking.
That pastor is very dangerous person.
You do think so. But why?
Someone made a big mistake
by letting him free.
Very possible. Very possible.
You did a great job, Klaus.
Only do not brag about it excessively.
Now let's talk about the business.
Next several days you will stay at
one of our secret apartments.
And after that for you there is a
prospect of serious work again.
And that time it will not be
in my department.
Now take the sheet of paper
and write the following.
"Shtandartenfurer,
I am just mortally tired.
My physical strengths are nearly all gone.
I honestly worked for you,
but can't do that any longer.
I need some little rest right now.
Klaus".
-And what is this for?
I do think, you will benefit from
one week trip to Innsbruck, Austria.
There's a casino there and young female skiers
are still rolling down from the mountains.
Without this official letter, I can't
get you that one week of happiness.
Otherwise I will be accused of the
liberalism to my favorite agents.
-Thank you. I do have enough money already.
-Some extra money will not hurt.
-That's right. That will not hurt. They say,
influenza treatment costs a lot now days.
Now try to recall once again, did
any one see you at pastor's?
There is nothing to recall.
No one saw me there.
Your letter we will send on the
way to your new apartment.
Write a small note to the pastor too.
So he will have no suspicions.
You will write it yourself. You know what
to write. I will brew more coffee for you.
I am reading my third version.
"Honesty implies actions.
"honesty implies actions, faith is
based on the fight.
"Therefore I cannot forgive myself
for not taking actions.
"Idleness is worse than the treachery.
I am leaving you in order to continue
my fight. Klaus."
-Well written, isn't it? Right?
-I must say- Yes!
-Did you ever try writing books for real?
-No. If only I'd be gifted in writing,
I perhaps would not become...
Continue. You may speak openly with me.
You wanted to say that if you knew how
to write, you would never work for us?
Well, something like that.
I think it is precisely what you
wanted to say, isn't it?
Yes.
What is the reason to be insincere
with me now?
There is no reason at all.
Finish your cognac and let's go.
You need to get to your apartment now.
- Is the new apartment far from here?
- In the country, 30 miles from here.
It is quiet there, you will sleep
through the night nicely.
Tell me, Klaus, what about the former
Minister Krauze abroad?
Did he talk about the former
minister Krauze?
Not a single word. I did write
about this in my report.
He would immediately lock that
in himself, and I could not press on him.
You did the right thing.
-What about Switzerland? Kept silent?
- Nothing. He kept silent about it.
All right then. We will try to
approach him differently.
The most important is that he
did agree to help me.
What a silly guy is that pastor!
What an amazing smell!
I will get books now and will
read all day long.
Books help me to get prepared
for my work. Do you like reading?
-I just love reading.
-Me too.
A good book makes a person clever.
It sharpens his thoughts, and,
I would even say, it makes
a man even more complex than he is.
Oh, it does smell so wonderful.
All prisoners sentenced to death,
who were with me in the same cell,
would always talk to me
about their love of nature.
And they were finding for that
the most splendid words.
I would even say, the totally
striking and beautiful words.
Well, it's so great out here...
Shtandartenfuhrer, Oh...
