German's plan was to tell Fernand and all the others about what happened to him in the prison and he wanted to say it in place so everyone will understand the pain and suffering he went through...

- Seriously? - hissed Fernand - Why don't you just kill me instead?

German didn't show how angry he was by this.

He walked up to Fernand and punched him in the stomach as calmly as he could.

- You'll listen to it... Like it, or not - he said before walking back to the cell and after a deep breath he walked in.

- German...

Angie tried to say something, but at this very moment she had no idea what to say.

- This place was like hell at first... - German started - Darkness... Deep silent... Not be able to do anything at all... And not knowing how's your beloved people are... It's true hell...

He walked to the bed that was still there and at the same place as it was when he was there.

- This bed... I've always been sitting here... Thinking whenever I was alone...

- You just said you were alone in here - Albert interrupted.

- Albert! - Angie snapped.

- Right... I know I just said that - German smiled - But I had a friend... That dig through to my cell at the first day - he said as he began to tap around the floor when he finally found the place that was digged and he could also easily open it, exposing the hole - See?

Everyone gasped.

- How did he even do that? - this time Mustafa interrupted - It must have been pretty hard.

- It was... But he was smart and strong enough to do that... At the beginning only... But he got sick and as he was coming to my cell soon I was going to his cell daily to listen to what he has to teach me...

Everyone was silent and just listening to German's shaky voice as he continued telling them his story.

- Without him I'd have gone insane and surely died here... But thanks to him I got out of here... In fact his death gave me the opportunity to escape... But not one day passed by without me thinking about him and everything he did for me... And just lately I thought about him and how disappointed would he be, if I'd have killed these people... The people that wanted me dead...

- You still killed the spy! - Fernand interrupted.

- Maybe... - German smirked back at him which made him shiver - But apart from that... Faria wouldn't want me to do something I might gonna regret later...

He then stood up.

- And exactly this is why you, Danglars and Villefort are going to live. I've made sure all the three of you will suffer... More than I did...

He sighed.

- He was such an amazing man... He didn't deserve to die here...

At this moment Angie felt really bad for German and as he was talking she felt how painful everything was to just remember for him.

Meanwhile German grabbed Fernand and pushed him inside the cell which scared him and everyone else.

- I wish I could close you here, but unfortunately it's impossible as there's no door... But now...

He now grabbed Fernand by his collar and pulled him up.

- Let's go back!
