Or someone with courage
and the instinct of virtue?

1:15:05
Someone who doesn't make
a mistake at the one time

1:15:08
when a mistake cannot be made.
1:15:12
Is the hero a superman?
1:15:16
Or just a normal person?
1:15:22
Or maybe someone who
blindly takes a risk.

1:15:26
Or, as John Le Carré says,
