I know, I know. Somebody speaks
and the others listen.

:42:06
But in the end, something
happens within one's self.

:42:09
Something does.
First we were all afraid. Now we're not.

:42:13
And something else happens, Max.
:42:15
I play the devil's advocate
in all this, and to do so I...

:42:18
seek and I find
dangerous documentary evidence,

:42:22
which I'll give to our colleague
so he can make a nice bonfire.

:42:26
I also have a nice list
of witnesses I keep an eye on.

:42:29
And I keep a most
particular eye on them...

:42:31
because they're not as manageable
as a pile of papers.

:42:35
Max, you must
have faith in Klaus.

:42:37
Remember when we had
my trial here?

:42:40
I felt as awful
as you feel now.

:42:42
It did me good to speak,
to confess, to defend myself.

:42:45
It did me good to clash with Klaus
when he accused me pitilessly.

:42:49
Remember?
When it was over, however,

:42:53
I felt a great relief.
:42:55
Perhaps, also, because Klaus
burned some 30 documents concerning you.

:42:59
Just as he burned yours, Kurt.
:43:01
Naturally. And now there's no trace of
us in any military archive. Right?

:43:05
It will be the same
for you, Max.

:43:11
Klaus?
:43:14
Klaus, perhaps there are
no living witnesses.

:43:19
But if there are,
can't we leave them in peace?

:43:22
Let them forget?
:43:35
Even if it says 1,000 persons
on paper, 10,000,

:43:39
it still makes less impression
than one witness in flesh and blood.

:43:47
That is why they are
so dangerous, Max.

:43:50
My task is to seek them out,
wherever they are,

:43:54
and to see that they
are filed away.
