MEET
I'm Carl, the landlord.
Mmmm...
What did you say?
Mmmmm-mmm-mm...
Are you mute?
(nods)
But not deaf?
(shakes his head)
Oh, well. Usually that's when I tell tenants to tell me if they ever need anything.
But in your case, I don't even know what could be done, Albert. That is your name, right?
Mmmmm-mmm-mm...
Hmmm... Have a nice day.
DISCUSS THE COUNTRY
Do you think the food crisis will be over soon?
Mmmmm-mmm-mm...
I disagree. I think everything will get better soon.
Mmmmm-mmm-mm...
That's your opinion. Keep it to yourself.

DISCUSS THE WEATHER
Overcast again!
Mmmmm-mmm-mm...
Mmmm...
Spare me the details, I was only asking to be polite.
Mmmmm-mmm-mm...
You could go on forever. And I have a lot to do.

PLAY WORDS
Shall we play Words?
Mmmmm-mmm-mm...
"M?" OK...Miasm! "M" for you!
Mmmmm-mmm-mm...
"M" again? Let me think... Militarism!
Mmmmmm-mmmm-mmm-mm!
M again? You're a pro! OK, Mezim...
Mmmmm-mmm-mm...
I give up. You're unbeatable!

DISCUSS COOKING
Do you like good cuisine?
For example, I love the goulash my wife makes...
Mmmmmm!
You're right! It's delicious!
Too bad I can't get the ingredients for it anymore…

TALK ABOUT PASSPORTS
How did you obtain a passport with someone else's name?
I found it in the apartment, when…
...was performing a routine fire alarm check!
Mmmm...
Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
You're hiding something, Albert.

TALK ABOUT THE PHONE CALL
You're not mute! I can prove it!
I'm sick and tired of you, Carl!
I'm not mute. But I have reasons to hide this fact.

I'm not sure I can trust you. But I guess I have no choice.
My real name is, indeed, Albert Meineke. And I'm here on assignment from the state.
What state?
Valverde.
What?! We've been at war with Valverde for 40 years?
I'm here to stop that war, Carl.
And how is you pretending to be mute going to help?
You see, Carl, both sides in this war are supporting the conflict in an effort to grow richer.
But...
Don't interrupt! No one can even remember anymore what started the war!
But it creates factory and mine jobs, and allows for oppositionists to be sent to the battlefield and buried there.
The only way to end it is to gain the ultimate advantage. I'm talking A-bomb here, Carl.
What bomb?
See, you don't even know what I'm talking about. And your country has it.
But instead of threatening to use it and thus ending the war, your government prefers to keep quiet and continue sending people to die.
But if we get it, we'll end this senseless violence in a day!
By dropping that bomb on us?!
Using it is out of question, Carl. It would leave nothing standing. That's not what we need.
Engineer Bastian Wallner is looking for an apartment in your district.
He has access to the blueprints. That's why I'm here, Carl.
Move him into your building and get me the blueprints.
Have you lost your mind? My duty is to report you immediately!
This will STOP THE WAR! Do you think that massacre will end on its own?
Forty years! They've been grinding our children into pulp for forty years!
Wouldn't it have been better to manufacture pots and clothes instead of gunpowder, bullets, and coffins?
I don't even know what to say…
Will you help me?
Responses
HELP
Okay. But promise me the bomb won't be used!
I swear on my life!
I know you're going to do something amazing.
REFUSE
You must be crazy, Albert, to think I'll help you steal classified blueprints!
That's a shame. Only a madman would be willing to withdraw from what's happening.
I'm afraid you're not ready to hear the truth.
LEARN THE STORY
Tell your story!
I'm not sure I can trust you. But I guess I have no choice.
I'm helping the New Tomorrow guys, mostly with papers for those willing to escape the country.
So you're a revolutionist?
Not quite, but think what you want.
I need your help. Find me three passports to forge into emigration papers.
Why on Earth would I want to help you?
First of all, you'll be rewarded.
Besides, if you and your family ever need papers likes these, you know where to get them.
Responses
HELP
OK. I could use the opportunity to leave, if needed.
Great, Carl. I'll be waiting.
REFUSE
No. You must be insane to ask this of me!
It's up to you, but I have to move out. Take care, Carl.
TALK ABOUT PASSPORTS
How did you obtain a passport with someone else's name?
I found it in the apartment, when…
...was performing a routine fire alarm check!
I help people emigrate.
I can help you out, too, if you ever need it. All you have to do is bring me any passports you have, and I'll produce clean papers for you.
Hmm… I could use the opportunity to leave, if needed.

TALK ABOUT THE BLUEPRINTS
What blueprints?
The A-bomb blueprints, Carl, which will help me end this pointless war.
Find a way to get it from Bastian Walner.
Returns to earlier responses
GIVE THE BLUEPRINTS
I brought the blueprints!
I knew I could count on you! Here are clean papers for everyone in your family, in case you decide to emigrate. Simply glue your pictures to the empty squares.
Good luck! Remember: once you're at the border, don't run. If you do, the guards will set their dogs on you.
Valverde owes you.

TALK ABOUT THE MEDICINE FOR MARTHA
You promised to get medicine for my daughter!
Here's the medicine, Carl. See? I didn't deceive you.
I wish your daughter a quick recovery!
What's more, you'd better get her onto a boat before you're sent to jail and your family is taken to a labor camp.
You know we often do this.
Thank you, Albert! You have no idea how grateful I am!
Saving one life is no big deal. I hope we can save more.
END CONVERSATION
TURN DOWN THE BLUEPRINTS TASK
I couldn't get the blueprints.
Too bad. I guess I should go, then. Farewell, Carl.
GIVE THE PASSPORTS
I brought the passports!
Great, Carl! You helped me a lot.
I trust you. I think it's time to reveal the truth.
I'm not helping the New Tomorrow out of altruism. This movement has every chance of changing the government.
That's beneficial for us.
Who's "us?"
My real name is, indeed, Albert Meineke. And I'm here on assignment from the state.
What state?
Valverde.
What?! We've been at war with Valverde for 40 years?
I'm here to stop that war, Carl.
And how is your mute approach to the revolution going to prevent more blood baths?
You see, Carl, both sides in this war are supporting the conflict in an effort to grow richer.

TALK ABOUT THE MEDICINE FOR MARTHA
My daughter is sick, and she needs a medicine that's impossible to get here - Liberspirit.
Can you get it?
No problem, Carl!
Help me with the blueprints, and I'll get that medicine for you!
You refused to help me, so I won't help you.
