it,
but only with the true
Berlin accent.
Resolution of this matter
can wait till tomorrow.
Based on the answer
I get tomorrow,
we will make a decision accordingly.
Are you all set to go?
Le's go then.
Yustas to Aleks.
I am still convinced that not
one of the serious politicians
of the West will start negotiations
with German SS or SD officers.
however, since the order is received,
I am starting its realization.
I consider that it can
only be executed,
if I report this information
directly to Himmler.
Relying on his support, I may,
possibly, find the people who
are trying to establish channels
for possible negotiations.

You may go.
My skull is falling apart too.
I dream about seven hours of sleep
like about the manna from the heavens.
I never thought that torture by
insomnia is a most terrible torture.
Listen carefully.
The situation is very serious.
Today my boss called me in.
They are all dreamers, those
great chiefs of ours.
They are allowed to have fantasies.
They do not have specific tasks.
Anyone can give orders, even a trained
chimpanzee in the circus could do it.
You see, the issue is that
my boss suspects Shtirlitz
with something.
Whom? Him?
Yes, Shtirlitz. Him!
He is the only person in the
intelligence dept of Shellenberg,
to whom I feel sympathetic.
He is calm, never kisses anyone's ass,
without hysterics and fake success.
I do not like or believe in those,
who are twirling around the
department management or talk
unnecessarily at our party meetings.
Stupid heads, chatterers, idlers.
And this man is a quiet one.
I love quiet people.
A quiet friend is really a true
friend indeed, if an enemy man is
a quiet one then he is a real enemy.
I respect such people. They always
have something that I want to learn.
- I know Shtirlitz for over 8 years.
I was with him in Spain. Near Smolensk
in Russia I saw him under the bombs.
He is made of steel and stone.
Why are you talking with epithets now?
Is this because of your mental fatigue?
Leave these stupid epithets to
our Nazi party leaders.
We are detectives and must express
ourselves with nouns and verbs.
"he encountered", "she said",
"he transmitted" and so on.
-So, you don't even allow a thought of?
-No.
I just cannot believe in the
dishonesty of Shtirlitz.
Me neither.
Probably, we need to tactfully
convince Kaltenbrunner of this.
Why? But what if he does want
for Shtirlitz to be dishonest?
Why should we dissuade
him from that?
After all, Shtirlitz, indeed, is
not part of our department,
He belongs to 6th Deptartment - The
Intelligence. Not to the Gestapo.
- Let Shellenberg feel terrible.
- Shellenberg will require proofs.
And Reichsfuhrer Himmler will
support him in that.
-Are you sure of that?
-I am convinced of that.
Why?
I don't know why, but I am
totally convinced, gruppenfurer.
So what shall we do then?
I believe that we should be
honest to ourselves first.
That will determine all of our
subsequent actions and deeds.
Actions and deeds are the same thing.
Here you go. I am giving you a
possibility to be totally honest.
Take these documents and
do make your conclusion.
Let it be fully honest. And I
will use it when I will report
back to my chief about the results
of the internal investigation.
Why me? Why should I
do it, gruppenfurer, and sir?
So, where is your honesty now?
my good old friend? Where is it?
It is very easy to advise others
to be
