What did you want me to do? Be reasonable. You didn't expect me to give myself up... 'It's a far, far better thing that I do.' The old limelight. The fall of the curtain. Oh, Holly, you and I aren't heroes. The world doesn't make any heroes outside of your stories.

I've got quite a lot on my mind.
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.628
- You wouldn't do anything.
- What do you want me to do? Be reasonable.
00:00:05.711 --> 00:00:07.797
- You can get somebody else...
- Do you expect me to give myself up?
00:00:07.088 --> 00:00:09.084
- Why not?
- It's a far, far better thing that I do,
00:00:09.924 --> 00:00:12.218
the old limelight,
the fall of the curtain.
00:00:12.343 --> 00:00:14.553
No. Holly, you and I aren't heroes.
00:00:14.678 --> 00:00:16.001
The world doesn't make any heroes...
00:00:16.018 --> 00:00:18.014
- You've got plenty of contacts.
- ...outside of your stories.
00:00:18.224 --> 00:00:20.476
I've got to be so careful.
00:00:20.601 --> 00:00:24.188
I'm only safe in the Russian zone. I'm only
safe here as long as they can use me.
00:00:24.271 --> 00:00:26.899
- As long as they can use you?
- I wish I could get rid of this thing.
00:00:26.982 --> 00:00:30.861
So that's how they found out about Anna.
You told them, didn't you?
00:00:30.945 --> 00:00:32.905
Don't try to be a policeman, old man.
00:00:32.988 --> 00:00:34.099
- What do you expect me to be? Part of your...
- Part?
00:00:35.998 --> 00:00:36.951
You can have any part you want
as long as you don't interfere.
00:00:37.999 --> 00:00:39.245
I've never cut you out of anything.
00:00:39.328 --> 00:00:42.456
Yes, I remember when they raided
the gambling joint, you knew a safe way out.
00:00:42.581 --> 00:00:46.293
- Sure!
- Yeah, safe for you. Not safe for me.
00:00:46.418 --> 00:00:49.588
Old man, you never should have
gone to the police, you know.
00:00:51.257 --> 00:00:52.842
You ought to leave this thing alone.
