I'll be right there.

Well? The day after tomorrow

at the Weber Hotel.

If you take the plane, I'll send

a car to pick you up at the airport.

You're such a strange creature.

Now you wish you were

coming with me, right?

Don't you want to do that shopping

you told me about?

- No.

- I can't wait now.

Take the plane tonight,

or just come with me now.

We can have them

send everything to Frankfurt.

I'm so silly. Come on.

You'll miss your plane.

At the Weber Hotel

the day after tomorrow.

I'll miss you.

Good morning, sir, madam.

Have you made a reservation?

A client said he caught

a four-kilo pike just here.

We didn't believe him.

The water's too fast for pike.

A trout maybe,

but not a pike.

What is it, Max?

What are you doing?

- How much?

- One hundred shillings.

...about 200 were accused

by eyewitnesses,

and the other 100 reported

by the Allies' War Crimes Commission.

Another organization

extremely dangerous for us...

is the War Documentation Center

here in Vienna.

They have files on the S.S. leaders,

I'll see to it that I get

my hands on that file too.

In the meantime, I want you to take

a look at the evidence against Max.

This constitutes documentation

which could be damaging.

This is all due to Max,

on his orders.

He himself transmitted

the orders for execution.

As always, we must find out if all this

is already known to our enemies...

or if I have managed to get

into the archives before them.

And Max can remain in the shadow,

which is what he wants.

We have decided to delve together to the

very bottom of our personal histories.

We have decided to confront them,

speaking without reserve,

without fear.

Remember. We must try to understand

if we are victims of guilt complexes.

If so, we must be

freed of them.

A guilt complex is a disturbance

of the psyche, a neurosis.

Let's not delude ourselves.

Memory is not made of shadows,

but of eyes which can stare straight

at you and fingers which point at you.

Information on existing witnesses

we have from Mario the cook.

We all know him. In particular, Kurt.

He was very useful.

I wanted him here tonight and sent word

to him. Instead, he disappeared.

- Any of you know anything?

- What do you want witnesses for?

Hans, you know all about my life.

Why rake everything up again?

That's my profession. You accepted

to take part in this group analysis.

I know, I know. Somebody speaks

and the others listen.

But in the end, something

happens within one's self.

Something does.

First we were all afraid. Now we're not.

And something else happens, Max.

I play the devil's advocate

in all this, and to do so I...

seek and I find

dangerous documentary evidence,
