Interrogator Meier shows Breitwieser a photograph of a gold-plated medallion that he had stolen in Switzerland; the investigator is trying to determine if Breitwieser has committed more thefts than previously admitted.
Meier tempts Breitwieser into confessing to the theft of the medallion by offering to release him and let him go home.
Desperate after more than two months in jail, Breitwieser admits to stealing the medallion.
Meier then presents yet another photograph, this time of a gold tobacco box stolen from a Swiss castle; Breitwieser also confesses to this theft.
Meier reveals a series of photographs depicting various objects stolen from different countries, including an ivory flute, a bronze figurine, and a silver goblet.
Realizing the depths of his situation, Breitwieser confesses to stealing all of the objects. In total, he acknowledges having committed 107 thefts.
A week after his arrest, Breitwieser finds out that most of his stolen items have been discovered at the bottom of the Rhône-Rhine Canal in eastern Alsace.
Police recovered 107 stolen items from the canal and brought them to a secure storage area at a museum in Colmar, each item estimated to be worth 50 million dollars total.
After inducing Breitwieser's confessions, Meier sends him back to jail after 79 days in Lucerne; disheartened and malnourished, Breitwieser is excessively worried about his future.
