Under the cover of academics, The Department set up in a house close to the border. Leiser is taken on a driving tour where he is shown his entry point into East Germany, and then returned to the house to eat a final meal before crossing. It is at this point Leiser is informed he cannot take a firearm across the border with him, causing him to panic. During the inner-German border crossing, Leiser again panics and kills a young East German guard, which is published in East German media and causes national outrage. Now panicking, Leiser steals a motorcycle and meets a young German girl in a nearby town. In exchange for aid, Leiser agrees to give her sexual companionship, and, she hopes, a way back to the West.
