1:06:02
Evil...
isn't just malice,

1:06:06
murder and rape
and massacre.

1:06:09
Before everything,
the devil is the father of lies.

1:06:13
The lies you tell,
the truth you don't tell.

1:06:15
Everything hidden
is theft.

1:06:18
Everything reserved
from those we love is fraud.

1:06:21
And there's always something,
isn't there?

1:06:23
I have known members of the public
not to be entirely frank with me, yes.

1:06:27
What everyone wants is...
for evil people to be off somewhere...

1:06:31
insidiously committing
evil deeds.

1:06:35
Then they can be separate
from ordinary men and women...

1:06:37
and destroyed.
1:06:40
But the line that separates
good and evil...

1:06:43
cuts through
every human heart.

1:06:46
And who is willing to destroy
a piece of his own heart?

1:06:52
You know that already,
don't you?

1:06:55
This is a trick
from a secret policeman.

1:06:57
- How do you mean?
- Tempting me with security.

1:07:01
Not a bad idea.
1:07:03
A bit subtle for me,
I'm afraid.

1:07:09
Are you married?
1:07:11
Yes.
1:07:13
Tell me about the last time
you lied to your wife.

1:07:17
Then we're even.
1:07:24
Well, we were...
1:07:26
we were having dinner
the other night.

1:07:28
It was
our wedding anniversary.

1:07:30
About halfway through the meal, I
drifted off the way that I do, you know.

1:07:36
She brought me back.
"What are you thinking?" she said.

1:07:39
I told her.
I'm thinking how...

1:07:43
how nice she looked,
how beautiful she still was.

1:07:47
And this was very pleasant, and we
should do it as often as we used to.

1:07:50
You were lying.
1:07:52
No, I was telling
the truth.

1:07:55
But in between thinking how nice she
looked and we should do this more often,

1:07:59
I was... also thinking
of a young woman...
