You understood it correctly. They were let go because of their incompetence instead being arrested for treason. 

 

The movie gives about the same explanation on what happens to other 3 as the book.  It's a great book. 

I went to see Tinker, Tailor... yesterday man the last 20 minutes are great but the rest....what a bore!!!!!!!! {nm} gogreenytd Jan 17, 09:19

I 100% agree. This was my kind of movie too and I just couldn't get into it. bloopster Jan 17, 09:53

I think it was the Script, it was just too complicated to follow, and the settings dint help either {nm} gogreenytd Jan 17, 10:12

I knew it... JMT-NL Jan 17, 09:56

had a few friends tell me the same. i loved it and oddly knew exactly what happened at the end (was asked to translate lobogotti Jan 17, 09:56

I'm with you!..seen it 3 times and going back for more....its a brilliant piece of movie-making. {nm} GLAMMGUY Jan 17, 10:15

indeed. I will say though that the film is not meant for wide release. could easily see it disappointing the masses. {nm} lobogotti Jan 17, 11:26

Too true, but none the less, an homage to the art of film making. {nm} GLAMMGUY Jan 17, 13:42

jack foley said it well and you guessed correctly. never read the book but plan to. {nm} lobogotti Jan 17, 11:20

Mostly only people weened on US action movie explication could say this masterpiece was boring, I guess.. {nm} Facto Jan 17, 13:43

I found The Lives of Others (spy/mole story set in Cold War Europe) to be 10x more interesting and captivating. bloopster Jan 17, 15:01

It's the best boring film I've seen since that goat-herder film. {nm} RufusS Jan 17, 09:59

But the 7:00+ long-take of the Easter procession from a high angle at the village intersection: a miraculous shot. (Link.) second gary Jan 17, 10:26
