Spione

spione28_youknowwhatyouhave_FC_133a_Master spy Haghe (Rudolf Klein-Rogge) is debriefing vampy operative Sonia (Gerda Maurus) and decides to run her against under-cover police agent #326 (Willy Fritsch), busy with his own operation but quickly ensnared, in Fritz Lang's Spione, 1928.

Director Fritz Lang, after scenes depicting police officers mad with frustration, resumes his introduction of high-tech villain Haghi (Rudolf Klein-Rogge) casually ensnaring a condemned criminal (Louis Ralph), and awaiting a target (Lien Deyers) at his bank, in Spione, (a.k.a. Spies), 1928.

Only one of the principals appears (Rudolf Klein-Rogge, in the last shot) as director Fritz Lang, working from a script he co-wrote with his wife Thea Von Harbau from her novel, takes the lead, opening their thriller follow-up to Metropolis, Spione (a.k.a. Spies), 1928.
