Face Death with Dignity
 The International / int_396e1c2a
comment
The shot of Wexler lying dead in one of Hagia Sofia's columns. He did collaborate for a cruel organisation and had a background as a former colonel of the Stasi but his tragic backstory (divorce, a daughter who committed suicide) and his revelation that he wanted to be as honest as Salinger though destiny did not permit him. Salinger wanted to help him find redemption but Wexler faced it and found it through death.

Always Murder: Salinger is convinced of this when his partner has a heart attack after meeting a contact. He's right, of course.

Alas, Poor Villain: The Consultant dying in front of Salinger with a look of regret repeating that Skarsen would not let him speak by any means. The shot of Wexler lying dead in one of Hagia Sofia's columns. He did collaborate for a cruel organisation and had a background as a former colonel of the Stasi but his tragic backstory (divorce, a daughter who committed suicide) and his revelation that he wanted to be as honest as Salinger though destiny did not permit him.
