"He gives, reluctantly. He drinks like a fish, he snarls, he's suspicious. He plays it long."
He explains, stretching out.
"I've done this before, it isn't easy, planting misinformation. You let them fixate on something you've told them, you fill the space around it with details and snarls, you disagree vehemently with the conclusions they try to draw from what you've spoken. Control and I briefed Leamas in this, in the pace of each give. He talked to them about an operation to pay a high ranking German mole out of foreign banks, he talked to them about the utter failure of our men to prosecute Mundt, his disappearance the week I turned him. He talked about the ease with which Mundt had taken Berlin. He insisted until he was blue in the face that Mundt could not possibly be one of ours because Leamas would have known, running Berlin. I never would have done that to him."
