The Paraguayans say that

no such call took place.

I have finally found a couple

of things from that boy.

Mundt!

Captain in a Death-Head Regiment.

Farnbach, a Gestapo agent.

Trausteiner!

Assistant Commandant at Dachau!

Cheap bureaucrats and murderers!

And these,...

...who knows?

Ezra! You know you shouldn't.

Esther, after all I've been through,

one puff won't hurt me.

These...

Oh!

Colonel Eduard Seibert.

He's Adjutant to Rausch,

the head of the Comrades Organisation.

He was in command of the extermination

unit on the Eastern Front.

He's a real aristocrat.

What's he doing

in such undistinguished company?

- Then it wasn't a hoax after all?

- No!

Esther,...

...on the telephone,

after that boy was cut off,...

...I felt something.

Something in the silence.

Something alive...

...and...

...hateful.

Maybe I'm getting senile, hm?

You haven't got the time.

...ordinary men...

Beynon!

Oh, Christ!

Mr Beynon, so nice to see you again.

- How are you getting along?

- Can't complain. Who'd listen?

May I take up a moment of your time?

I'm so sorry, I'm late for lunch.

Always such a prodigious appetite!

What?

Eight times last week I called you,

and each time you were at lunch.

Maybe you have a tapeworm?

Now, Sidney, please...

Just a few moments of your time.

Oh, very well. Come on.

You carry this whole damn

concentration-camp thing...

...pinned to your coattails.

Why do you keep knocking yourself out?

Nothing ever pays off.

Frieda Maloney is in jail.

Frieda Maloney!

She was only a guard in a camp.

Who strangled young girls with

their own hair. Bayoneted infants.

Maybe she was a despicable criminal,

but she just isn't news 30 years later.

Sidney, there is a plot by the Comrades

Organisation, which is the illegal army...

Yes, I know what it is.

It plots to kill 94 men

in the next two and a half years.

Jews, I suppose?

I want your European,

Canadian and American bureaux...

...to send you clippings of all

...accidentally.

You pass them to me

and I'll do the rest.

And whose plot is this?

Josef Mengele.

He's the red herring in this little barrel?

What a title for the chief doctor of

Auschwitz, who killed 2 million people!

Experimented on children,

Jewish and non-Jewish,...

...using twins, mostly.

Injecting blue dyes into their eyes

to make them acceptable Aryans.

Ezra!

Amputating limbs and organs

from thousands,...

...operating without anaesthetics,

but with the strength of Wagner...

...providing an obbligato

to the screams of the mutants...

...he was creating!

- Don't lecture me!

Sidney... you owe me something.

Even if only to humour an old man...

...who once brought you
