Walking with the Enemy Page #3

in a Yellow Star house.

That's what we're looking for.

Number, um, 18 Bajnok utca.

That's my building.

Do you know if there's a man

there called Jozsef Greenberg?

Yes, yes, he's there now.

I have to get back to work.

But I'll be back there later.

Okay. It's good to see you.

You, too.

Jozsef.

Elek.

Ferenc. Wha...

Welcome home, boys. Come, come.

What are you doing here?

You would not believe what has happened.

Thank you again, Mrs. Schoen.

It's not very strong

but it's all we have.

Thank you.

I wish I knew something about

your families' whereabouts.

You deserve more after

what you've been through.

Do you believe it?

Do you believe that our families

were taken away to work?

It's hard to imagine

the Germans would need all of them.

There are other possibilities.

Oh, spare us.

Don't confuse them any more.

No, they deserve to know everything.

It's from my sister.

- She lived just outside the city.

- What is it?

What is "Waldensee"?

It's a lie.

You don't know that.

Well, it's not a damn resort.

Who ever heard of it, huh?

- No one.

- Look here.

The whole card she writes in Hungarian.

But in Hebrew, she signs...

Which means,

"It is not true."

"It is not true."

Why would she write that?

Well, which is it?

Factories in support of the war, this...

This Waldensee?

I'm sorry, Elek.

No... We just don't know.

Why haven't they taken everyone here?

Elek.

They might.

But for now, we depend on these.

These are Schutz-Pass.

Gives you protection.

I use this machine every day.

Try it now.

It works. For now.

Anything else you'd like me

to help you with, Jacob?

Uncle Miklos, leave Jacob alone.

What're you doing?

Going home.

Not before I get a kiss.

I suppose you've earned it.

Good night, Uncle.

Where's my kiss?

I guess you didn't earn it.

Hallo, Frulein.

Please.

Papa. Papa.

German... German...

- Come.

- No.

Please, sir.

I beg you.

You can have anything you want.

This is my daughter.

No!

Papa!

Mr. Schoen?

Papa.

- Wait. Wait.

- Hannah.

Wait. Stop.

Stop, stop, stop.

Shh.

It's over.

What happens when they

are discovered missing?

Someone must have seen

them enter the building.

Or heard the gunshots.

We can't stay here.

I know.

We must find a new home.

Tomorrow.

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

My Uncle Miklos says we can stay.

It's not home, but at

least we'll be safe here.

It's called the Glass House.

It used to be an old glass factory,

but now the Swiss use it to

make protective passports.

If it's okay, my uncle

would like to talk to you.

You saved my niece.

For that I thank you.

On the other hand, two

German officers were killed.

SS, no less.

I know.

They look for their dead.

They start asking questions.

We don't need questions here.

My niece speaks well of you.

You have chutzpah.

Come with me.

Can't fight the Nazis with guns.

We can save many lives

with straight diplomacy.

Lajos?

Elek!

Ah! It's good to see you.

You know him?

Yes, he's a good friend.

You can trust him.

Good.

This is a Swiss passport.

We need runners to deliver them.

I'll do it.

Your identification as a Swiss employee.

Any Nazis or Arrow Cross who

stop you should respect it.

Personally, I recommend

not being stopped.

I didn't hesitate to help Miklos.

And by doing this...

Irma Soma?

...I might find my own family.

For you.

- Anne Gutschwein?

- Yes.

Andras Dorivag?

This is for you.

Oh, thank you.

Where is the radio?

Radios are not permitted.

Go.

Mama.

Mama.

Hey.

Shh.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

Now, come on.

But you can't stay here.

It's not safe.

Cannot stay.

Where else is he to go, Miklos?

This is not a dormitory!

Everyone can hear you, he can hear you.

This is a diplomatic mission.

No place for an orphan boy.

Find a proper place for him.

I'm sorry, sir.

Colonel Skorzeny's early.

- Show him in.

- All right, sir.

Come.

Good day, Regent.

Colonel, you know Consul Lutz.

Herr Lutz is precisely why

I've called this meeting.

You're requesting Swiss

passports for Hungarian Jews.

In this city alone,

there are over 7,000 Jews

with family ties to Swiss citizens.

I granted the request.

The Swiss are neutral in this war.

Transferring citizenship

is a German matter.

Colonel, we are still

a sovereign nation.

And Switzerland has

acted as intermediary

for Germany with the Allies.

Do you want to put a strain on

your relationship with the Swiss

over a few thousand citizens?

They're one of the last countries

willing to assist Germany

with diplomacy in this war.

Colonel Eichmann will have

to deal with this issue.

You are to cease transferring

citizenship until further notice.

Failure to cooperate

will have consequences.

Colonel, I will not be intimidated.

How's Hannah's food?

You remind me of my brother.

Always playing with his food.

How's the food?

He loves it.

Adam, I have a friend

I would like you to meet.

I grew up with her,

and she looks after lots of

girls and boys like you.

Okay?

Oh, Hannah.

It's so good to see you.

Oh, please.

Come in, come in.

Every day when the sun comes up

Lightens up the beauty of life

Would you like to come meet everyone?

Yes.

All the stars shine bright

We sing a carol in the morning

We sing a song in the daytime

Adam.

You'll be safe here.

We'll be back.

Thank you, Marketa.

I hope Adam is okay.

He's lucky to have you.

Come on.

Come on.

It's time.

How many decoys?

Two cars.

Our men have been observing the meeting

location for the past several days.

No activity.

Can we trust them?

Do we have a choice?

Sir.

Pleased to meet you, Regent Horthy.

I trust we have an agreement

with Premier Stalin.

Regent, we've worked diligently

to gain acceptance for your proposal

with Russia.

But to no success.

Our terms are surrender,

our conditions are reasonable.

What does the Premier not understand?

If we appeal again,

Comrade Stalin will be insulted.

Do you want to risk the

concessions he has granted?

We must find the middle ground.

If you do not accept

Comrade Stalin's agreement,

your country is looking at a bloodbath.

This is unfortunate.

Premier Stalin must await my answer.

No, Tomas, you got the consulate's

signature wrong. Here.

Let's switch for a while, Tomas.

You stamp, I'll sign.

That is another 500.

Jacob said the press can't

keep working 24 hours a day.

Tell Jacob the printer

has to keep working.

He said we are over 25,000.

Twenty-five thousand?

Does my uncle know?

He knows, but he doesn't know.

He doesn't want to risk the

diplomatic status of the Swiss.

The Swiss are done, Hannah.

Seven thousand, eight hundred

was the official number.

There are about 200,000

Jews left in Budapest.

This piece of paper is someone's life.

- Janos Goldstein?

- Yes?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Give me this.

Swiss passes.

They're legal.

So why are you so nervous?

There's a lot of them.

Take him.

Your identification says

you are Kovac Janos.

A Christian.

So tell me.
