For three years he sets his conscience aside, "breaking his subjects" with the inquisitor's classic alternation of bullying and sympathizing. He is shot at by terrorists, but even this does not upset his routine of work, liquor, sleep and sun bathing. His sleepwalking ends when he seduces a Cypriot girl. Before his guilt can bring him to renounce his job, the girl's young brother empties a Sten gun into a cafe where Barbour...
