:42:04
I know, I know. Somebody speaks
and the others listen.
:42:07
But in the end, something
happens within one's self.
:42:09
Something does.
First we were all afraid. Now we're not.
:42:14
And something else happens, Max.
:42:16
I play the devil's advocate
in all this, and to do so I...
:42:19
seek and I find
dangerous documentary evidence,
:42:23
which I'll give to our colleague
so he can make a nice bonfire.
:42:27
I also have a nice list
of witnesses I keep an eye on.
:42:30
And I keep a most
particular eye on them...
:42:32
because they're not as manageable
as a pile of papers.
:42:36
Max, you must
have faith in Klaus.
:42:38
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.
:42:46
It did me good to clash with Klaus
when he accused me pitilessly.
:42:50
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.
:43:00
Just as he burned yours, Kurt.
:43:02
Naturally. And now there's no trace of
us in any military archive. Right ?
:43:06
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 ?
:43:23
Let them forget?
:43:36
Even if it says 1,000 persons
on paper, 10,000,
:43:40
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.
