They've reached showdown, and at showdown Reinkemeier [B]has[/B] to show his cards to claim any part of the pot - even if the other hand has been mucked - as per Robert's Rules above.
 
If it were me as the dealer, I'd be rushing to stop de Wolfe mucking his cards because I'm always [B]very[/B] suspicious of a player who's seen the other hand (or at least enough of it to know whether he's won or lost), claims they have the winning hand and yet won't turn it over.
 
What boggles my mind is that once the dealer's done that and both hands are tabled, he still awards the pot to Reinkemeier...
 
On a side note, show one show all doesn't actually work in that manner.  What it actually means is that everyone at the table is entitled to the same information.  For example, you can't make a bet on the river, have your opponent fold, show your hand to the person next to you and then muck - the dealer is obliged to show the hand to the whole table once you've shown it to someone else.
 
This [I]doesn't[/I] mean that if you show one card you have to show them both, though some games (particularly home games) have a separate rule to that effect.  In this case, the whole table has seen the king, and if the hand really was mucked (say if Reinkemeier had shown a low pair and legitimately won the pot) there would be no reason for the dealer to expose de Wolfe's other card.
