:40:01
Otto was willing
to take the risk, and so was I.
:40:04
On one condition:
:40:07
I want to be sure that where
you put that is really a safe place.
:40:11
Eric,
:40:12
for a long time, I've been
withdrawing money from the bank.
:40:17
Little by little.
:40:19
Not enough to create suspicion,
:40:21
but sufficient to live on for a time
when the war is over.
:40:25
Somewhere in these cabinets
are 200,000 marks.
:40:29
If you can find them,
you can have them.
:40:36
What if this building is bombed?
:40:39
Someone goes through the debris,
finds a piece of paper...
:40:43
If this building is hit,
:40:45
the chances are
a hundred to one that it'll catch fire.
:40:50
And if the office is searched?
:40:54
They'll break open the safe,
:40:56
tear up the rug,
:40:58
smash the desk.
:41:01
But I doubt if they'll wade
through all these files.
:41:04
But they might.
:41:07
They might also find the money.
:41:11
I might also be
arrested... and talk.
:41:14
I honestly don't know
how I'd react under torture.
:41:19
Those are risks
you have to take, Eric.
:41:23
Well?
:41:27
All right.
:41:33
Wait a minute.
This is dated March 5th.
:41:37
Today is September 5th.
:41:41
You see, I have to be
protected too, Otto.
:41:45
If tomorrow
you should get cold feet
:41:47
and decide to turn the letter over
to the Gestapo,
:41:50
they'd wonder why
you held on to it for six months.
:41:58
Otto gave me the two-dollar tour, and
I saw the refinery from top to bottom.
