Alongthegreat;
I guess THIS scene, and all the dialogue contained within, completely went over YOUR head? Sigh.
I wasn't sure you'd come.
I want to make one thing clear.
I don't owe you anything.
What happened in Beirut?
You know what happened in Beirut.
My networks were blown.
So Hamburg is a punishment?
Depends on whether you like Hamburg.
Unless that's
what you want people to think?
Take some of the heat off you
so you can get on with the real game.
Which is?
Dr. Faisal Abdullah.
Come on, Gnther, we probably know
as much about him as you do.
What do you know, Martha?
We know you've been
watching him for months,
and we know
you're under pressure to get results.
And we know that the man moves money
through a network of Muslim charities
and every time he does,
some of it goes missing.
Dr. Faisal Abdullah is everything
we want him to be and a little bit more.
He's tolerant, enlightened,
engaged with the West.
But every good man has a little bit of bad,
doesn't he?
And in Abdullah's case, that little bit
just might kill you.
You know all that, how come
he's still walking the streets of Hamburg
and not rotting
in some cell in Guantnamo?
Because we think, we don't know.
The money leaves
and we don't know where it goes.
Anyways, on German soil
he's got the protection of German law.
That hasn't stopped you before.
We don't do that anymore.
You want us to do it, then.
I'm more interested in knowing why
you haven't done it already?
Please work with us on this one, Gnther.
I don't trust you.
Old habits die hard.
That's what I'm worried about.
I was talking about yours.

Yes, I recalled this in their later "frenemy-ly" scenes. I did not see the Americans' last move coming. That's why it was shocking.

Did I really just prove that I didn't watch the film? lol

In fact, the dialogue quoted, and in bold, only further reinforces my original point, which is that Gunther's scheme gave them the evidence they needed to move on on Issa and Abdullah, because they could now show the transfer of funds.

you must know you don't have a leg to stand on, that's why you keep writing novels (repetitive novels, I might add), without actually backing up any of what you say without producing any actual quoted dialogue from the film. None of these broken record opinions have any actual proof,, so why keep wasting everyone's time , TLDR; its all just your opinion man, nothing you are saying is actually in the script.
here's an idea, why don't you try typing out the dialogue at the minute marks you keep trying over and over to unsuccessfully cite, instead of accusing people of never having watched the film, and prove what the characters are saying at those times backs up your claims, like I did.

TLDR, you are relying on your interpretation of visual elements shown on screen that are not elucidated in the film's dialogue for your entire argument.
Your failure to produce actual quotes from the film that support your claims (quoted dialogue in the form of sentences), aside from "We know you've been watching him for months" (lulz), is a clear signal you really don't have any proof to back up anything you say. Game over.
