says, "Good day, dear sun!"

They shouldn't think getting

917
01:21:58,150 --> 01:22:00,482
But this is first-class.

918
01:22:00,483 --> 01:22:05,283
Did you know that there are
just five types of artists?

919
01:22:05,566 --> 01:22:08,857
Your guy, Dreyman,
is a Type 4.

920
01:22:08,858 --> 01:22:11,607
A "hysterical
anthropocentrist."

921
01:22:11,608 --> 01:22:14,982
Can't bear being alone, always
talking, needing friends.

922
01:22:14,983 --> 01:22:17,232
That type should never
be brought to trial.

923
01:22:17,233 --> 01:22:18,952
They thrive on that.

924
01:22:19,775 --> 01:22:24,315
Temporary detention is the
best way to deal with them.

925
01:22:24,316 --> 01:22:27,565
Complete isolation
and no set release date.

926
01:22:27,566 --> 01:22:31,315
No human contact the whole time,
not even with the guards.

927
01:22:31,316 --> 01:22:35,982
Good treatment, no harassment,
no abuse, no scandals,

928
01:22:35,983 --> 01:22:39,030
nothing they could
write about later.

929
01:22:39,525 --> 01:22:42,572
After 10 months,
we release.

930
01:22:43,066 --> 01:22:46,982
Suddenly, that guy won't
cause us any more trouble.

931
01:22:46,983 --> 01:22:49,190
Know what the best part is?

932
01:22:49,191 --> 01:22:52,982
Most Type 4s we've
processed in this way

933
01:22:52,983 --> 01:22:54,982
never write anything again.

934
01:22:54,983 --> 01:22:58,607
Or paint anything,

935
01:22:58,608 --> 01:23:02,442
And that without any use of force.
Just like that.

01:23:02,775 --> 01:23:04,199

01:23:05,275 --> 01:23:06,749

943

Uncertain, huh?

947
01:23:32,650 --> 01:23:36,315
You don't think we'll find
anything for the Minister?

948
01:23:36,316 --> 01:23:38,970
Maybe if we're
more flexible.

951
01:23:49,566 --> 01:23:52,024

plan more flexibly.

956
01:24:06,816 --> 01:24:09,175

something outside.

01:24:13,816 --> 01:24:16,372
Something doesn't
feel right here.

958
01:24:19,483 --> 01:24:21,449
There's something
you're hiding.

959
01:24:29,650 --> 01:24:32,402
All right, l'll take
Udo off the case.

960
01:24:33,358 --> 01:24:36,257

this church case.
