Dr. Helmut Cherlotov: I am loyal!
Rollin: (laughs) Oh, excuse me. You intellectuals. Loyal. Loyal, loyal! To whom? To yourselves? To your own little small world? You sell your souls and then you rationalize that it is for the good of something greater as yet undefined. Come now, Doctor. Admit it. Too much learning undermines a man's loyalty.

Episode Goofs
After Jankowski is shot, there are at least three reaction shots from Rollin. One of them has the blood on the wrong side of his face, and the part of his hair switches sides as well, when the director mirrors the shot for a different reaction.
