When do I ever miss a train?

Now, you know what to do

while I'm away?

Go through all those clippings, separate

them by countries, then cities.

Isolate all violent crime.

Ezra, there are more than 100 clippings,

and Beynon says there are more to come.

Well, we have to start somewhere.

Yes, but we can't afford

to hunt for all those men.

That's why I'm going to these cities first -

the closest and the cheapest. It's a start.

Yes, but...

Remember to separate the ones

in New England from the rest.

I can cover them on the lecture tour.

Still without any help.

Without help, without money,

without time. What else is new?

I'm more in love with you

It's not the feeling it will give you

for the things gone by

It's when you look at all the things...

The landlord!

- Where are you going?

- To turn that damn tape off.

Leave it! I like music.

Well, he doesn't. He's always prowling

around the landing, listening at my door!

- Just waiting to catch me.

- Catch you? Doing what?

Just what we're doing now, love.

Mr Harrington doesn't like any mucking

around. He has a wife and kid, you know!

Old coot! Bet he wouldn't say no

if I invited him in here.

Then maybe we'll invite him in...

...later.

Is this Frau Dring's residence?

My name is Lieberman.

Thank you.

I think she's off the phone by now.

You her grandson?

Her son.

Herr Lieberman!

Frau Dring,

thank you so much for seeing me.

Oh! Won't you sit down?

Thank you.

You are the man who was on television

several months ago.

The Nazi-hunter. Frieda Maloney.

Yes.

- Do you kill Nazis when you catch them?

- No, that's against the law.

It's much better to put them on trial

so people can learn.

Learn what?

Who they were. What they did.

So why even catch them?

Just put it all in history books.

Clever boy you have, Frau Dring!

Yes. But, er... definitely lazy.

For example, right now

he should be in his room practising.

I can't be in my room

and answer the door at the same time,...

...can I?

- Oh, I was only teasing, darling!

Now, please, go and practise, hm?

Now... we can talk.

First of all, may I express my sympathy?

Things must be very difficult for you...

...right now.

Thank you.

Is he your only child?

Yes.

Did your husband leave all his money

to Erich and you?

And to a sister of his.

Why do you ask that?

I was looking for a reason

behind his death.

Emil's death was an accident.

Was he a Nazi?

I did not meet him until 1955,

so I have no way of knowing.

Did he ever...

...mention the name of

a Doktor Josef Mengele?

Who?

There was a considerable age difference

between you, wasn't there?

Oh! That wasn't the only difference!
