Thorne:
Every day I sit here, the revolution creeps closer and closer to victory. Sacrifice of one man's life is a small price to pay. Joe:
And you think that one man can make that much difference? Thorne:
The name "Rudolf Hess" ring a bell? Joe:
German figure skater? Thorne:
He was Adolf Hitler's right-hand man in until the Second World War... Joe:
Yes, I know he was. Thorne:
...When the war was over, he was put on trial at Nuremburg with the other Nazi bigwigs. Sentenced to life. And in the city of Berlin, there was a penitentiary. Spandau Prison. That's where they put them. Forty years, he was there. Twenty one of them on his own. Twenty one years, all alone in Spandau Prison. So powerful was the spectre of this one man, that after he was dead, they tore down Spandau. They wanted no trace of him left behind! Joe:
Nice role model. A Nazi... Thorne:
I'm just saying 'one man'! One man in his cell, One man in power, One man in the right place at the right time
