pressed him.
He confessed that at night
someone got in his car.
He didn't hear the conversation,
as they rolled up the glass partition.
He was shown
over two hundred photos.
But he didn't identify Bormann's
interlocutor on any of them.
What are you going to do with him?
Maybe...
a car accident?
I don't know, I don't know.
Judging by your words,
the driver is an honest man.
And we don't punish honest people.
Think of something yourself.
Okay,
I'll come up with something.
Good.
For me it's harder to think of something,
when it comes to the Fuhrer's deputy.
I think, Reichsfuhrer, for you
it would be much easier to do.
But if you think it's my responsibility,
I'll come up with something.
But do it fast.
I'm not going to put up
with double-dealers here.
Stirlitz got to the Swiss border
to get his <> ready.
Like Schellenberg, he thought that
an open smuggling of the pastor
across the border could give
undesirable publicity to the operation.
This entire operation was being
carried out, bypassing the Gestapo.
According to Schellenberg's plan,
it was Stirlitz
who was to expose Schlagg,
after the latter had done his job.
All the last days before the departure
Stirlitz, with Schellenberg's sanction,
was busy preparing candidates
for the pastor's would-be conspirators.
All these people
served Nazism fervently.
These are, so to say, conspirators,
who're delegating
our peace-maker pastor to Bern.
Berg, Schwalp, Neibut.
They're from Ribbentrop's office.
Krauze,
Frunditz, Blutner.
These are Goring's people from
the Luftwaffe.
I picked
diplomats and pilots
so that they compromise,
respectively,
both Ribbentrop and Goring.
Note...
Schwalp...
is Bormann's man.
It's also to our advantage in our game.
Bormann's envoy in the Foreign Office.
A dirty conspirator.
These people, apart from all,
were at different time recruited
by the Gestapo as informants.
Good.
Very good, Stirlitz.
It can come very handy in the future.
We must keep Mueller on a lead,
and this is a lead, and a tight one.
Good, very good.
In this way we cast a shadow,
both here and in the West,
on those who are seeking peaceful
contacts, bypassing us.
And there they clearly discriminate
between the Gestapo, Bormann
and our department.
And here, too, when we expose
this conspiracy, it'll be beneficial if all
the criminals are linked to the Gestapo.
Coffee?
Here you go.
Here you go.
The passengers of the train shuttling
between Scandinavia and Switzerland
were now
practically exclusively diplomats.
Stirlitz had seat No 16.
In the next carriage, seat No 46
was taken by a professor from Sweden
with a common
Scandinavian surname of Svedeborg.
Thank you.
Are you German?
Unfortunately.
Why unfortunately?
Because I'm not given
another cup of coffee.
Here they give authentic coffee
at the first request
only to holders of foreign passports.
Really?
And I was given
a second cup.
I have brandy.
Want a drink?
Thank you.
I have brandy, too.
But you, probably, don't have salami.
I have salami.
Then, we are both eating from
the same plate.
What's your rank?
I'm a diplomat, a councilor
of the Foreign Office 3rd Department.
So it's you whom everybody blames.
It's you who are guilty of all this.
Why?
Because you shape
the foreign policy.
Because it's your policy that led
to the war on two fronts.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Are you from Mecklenburg?
Right. How did you know that?
By <>.
Northerners save their effort
on vowels.
That's true.
Could I see you at the Aviation
Ministry last night?
No, I wasn't there.
Stirlitz was there yesterday.
He gave a lift to Pastor Schlagg
to the Aviation Ministry.
My face is rather peculiar:
All people think
they saw me somewhere.
You're stereotypic.
Look like many others.
Is it good or bad?
For spies it's probably good.
But for diplomats it's probably bad.
You need easily remembered faces.
- And for the military?
- For
