The Boys from Brazil Page #4

a page-one international story.

You owe me this much, Sidney.

Now I'm collecting.

Have you any idea how many men

in their mid-60s die every day?

I try not to think about it.

Save it for your wife, Herr Dring.

What I've got is too good for her.

I can see that, Herr Dring!

Go on, go on.

Pig!

Good boy. Good boy.

Seibert!

News?

Good news.

Our salesmen are all checked in.

The first quotas have been filled.

Four on the exact dates.

- Two a day early, and one a day late.

- Splendid! Splendid! Come...

We'll have a nice lunch.

Colonel, I will need a full report

on all this for my records.

I've already taken care of that.

Four out of seven on the exact dates.

They are good men.

Well chosen.

General Rausch called me

from the Costa Brava.

Why didn't you tell us about Lieberman?

I did not think it was necessary.

The General is concerned.

But Ezra Lieberman...

no one takes him seriously.

Even the rich Jews

who used to send him money...

...have found better ways

to ease their consciences.

The man's bank has failed.

His followers have fallen away.

He's entirely without credibility.

I just decided it was not important.

If you'll forgive me, Herr Doktor,

it was not your decision to make.

You could have compromised our agents.

And if I had told you about Lieberman,...

...you would have

compromised my project.

How bad would it be if we postponed

for three or four months?

That would reduce the outcome

by 20 per cent.

There are 18 men in the first four months.

It would change the results completely.

Assuming there is an outcome.

There will be exactly the results

I have promised.

General Rausch

wanted to recall these six men.

Impossible!

Until we find out

how much Lieberman knows.

Impossible! This project has a timetable

that must be observed.

- It cannot be changed.

- Herr Doktor...

Colonel, do you fully understand

what it is that I have done?

I...

...the outlaw.

The so-called war criminal.

Right here in this godforsaken place,

I have created a scientific miracle.

I have turned the whole world

into a laboratory.

Our laboratory.

Don't talk to me about six men.

I would send out six more

if they were caught.

And six more, and six more,

until the task was done.

I agree, Herr Doktor.

I agree. Let's hope that we can resolve

this Lieberman business...

...and that you get to put 94 check marks...

...on that beautiful chart of yours.

Come. Walk me to the plane.

You see how...

passionate I am on this subject?

Uh-huh.

One day this place will be a shrine

visited by millions of schoolchildren.

That is a nice thought.

Nice thought.

- Gladbeck, 3.30, Ezra.

- We'll get there. We'll get there.
