All right.

All right.

No way!

At least that, Frank.

And how is it? Are you ready to play?

Sure thing! Let's do this!

But don't think I'm going to let you win!

What a game. You make a worthy teammate!

And if your attitude falters so easily, what happens when someone tries a little harder?

But before I report you to my clients, let's talk straight.

What? What's going on now? What is it about?

You know that very well!

Our mutual friend, Walter Bullhauser.

Bullie? What about him?

You know what's wrong with him. He is in jail!

Because of you, Frank! Because you are a wimp!

You planted something on him! Admit it at last! You owe him that!

He was my friend!

It was me!

Why did you do this? Who commissioned you?

We know there are forces in the ministry that wanted Bullhauser gone.

Those lousy cowards' knees tremble at the slightest reform!

Now let's play for real.

I have a few cigars here. The good ones from abroad. We'll light them up.

But, Frank ...

And money. It's no fun without commitment.

Then there is this expensive liquor: the sherry, which is so hard to come by. If you understand what I mean.

Well, I don't really know. It all sounds quite forbidden ...

Don't be like that, Frank! That's what makes it exciting!

And your wife will certainly be amazed when you bring home a little money!

Ha! I knew it!

You're such a good go-getter. A thoroughly broken guy.

I ... um... so... does that mean we don't play?

Listen to yourself! Of course we don't gamble and smoke and drink the forbidden stuff from abroad.

Now let's talk straight.

Lies! Spit it out already!

So, who was it? Spit it out!

It was Ernst Müller.

You always have a choice.

I didn't have a choice!

What you have done will have grave consequences.

Now get out of my apartment before I lose myself!

Go on, get out!

So how about it? Are you in?

Don't you have a backbone?

You are easier to flip than any coin.

If I could already convince you to behave this way, what happens when someone tries a little harder?

But I almost managed to convince you of that, didn't I?

For example, to motivate you to stab an old friend in the back?

For example, to motivate you to stab an old friend in the back?

I can't ...

And you are currently taking the wrong side out of sheer convenience.

Big changes are coming! Our world is changing!

Stop thinking only about yourself!

I really can't say anything ...

Your family will be much worse off if the state falls into the wrong hands!

At least tell me why you did it!

This game is bigger than all of us, Frank!

All right. If you put it that way, then I guess I'm in ...

Are you crazy? I'm not going along with that!

I would never do something like that to him ... You have to believe me!

Yes! I admit it yes! I did it!

Ernst ... Ernst Müller. He gave me the order!

I can't tell you, it's too dangerous.

I really can't tell you! Just think of my family!
