Wiesler accepts a job from his superiors as he is driven by his own curiosity on Dreyman. He tape wires Dreyman’s apartment and eavesdrops conversations between playwright Dreyman, and his mistress, an actress, Christa-Maria Sieland. Later in the movie Wiesler realizes Dreyman is a loyal man after all, and that he has been hired to eavesdrop the couple because his boss has developed an interest in Christa-Maria.

Our bonfire chats generally last until 9 or 10 PM, just in time for me to catch some of the George Noory show on my way home. How can you not love a talk radio show devoted to aliens and conspiracies? The other night, however, 1290 AM was not coming in too great, so I scanned the dial and stumbled upon a voice that could only be that of a Christian…

    My meeting with Noah Montgomery was very unexpected, and he was very aggravated by everything, especially the tape recorder. I'm not sure if his anger towards me is due to his mother, his fear, or something else entirely. After shutting off my tape recorder, he proceeded to answer every question I asked with a perfectly recited Shakespeare sonnet. It is clear that Noah's case will be a very difficult one, since he is unwilling to cooperate. I have suggested that he and I meet twice a week and…
