It's a miracle that only two died.

What's miracles got to do with it?

I mean if 999 planes make their destination

at least one of them's got to crash.

Aren't you ever scared?

Not about this kind of stuff.

What really spooks me is getting

caught in a train of coincidence.

What do you mean?

You don't happen to have a brother

by the name of Joachim, do you?

How did you know that?

Hencke.

I had a friend by that name,

Joachim Hencke.

We were students together

in Zurich before the war.

Is this the same man?

I told you, I'm... going to see him,

he runs a tobacco plantation.

No, the Joachim I knew is a doctor.

Not really. He never

finished his studies.

Maybe, it was his marriage.

What happened with his marriage?

It didn't last.

Hannah was not quite German.

What do you mean?

Well, you know she was, how do you say...

Jewish?

That's it.

Hannah Landsberg?

You know her?

Yeah, I knew her.

Incredible.

It certainly is a small world.

I wrote to Ivy.

It didn't take long to tell her

I was sitting in the desert,

hundreds of miles from the

world of normal transport.

That it was hot, dry weather.

Not the slightest injury and so on.

What else?

Oh yeah, I thought this was as good

a time as any to tell her it was over.

Why did she marry him?

That was always the question.

Nobody could understand Joachim.

Why would anyone marry a Jewish

girl in '39, in Munich of all places.

I thought they were safe in Switzerland?

- She went back to Germany with Joachim.

Just a few weeks before

their child was born.

They were divorced soon after.

- They had a child? -Yes.

It's a common enough story.

Marriage, child, divorce...

but then the war.

Especially for her.

As for Joachim, he was a prisoner of war.

Then returned home and...

back to life as usual.

It was an unfortunate period in history.

Your move.

Whatever became of Hannah?

- I don't know.

Joachim might know.

Sorry. Sorry... Joachim has seen us.

Wait a minute. Listen... I would, I would

really love to but I can't tonight. -Why?

Because it's, you know it's the day.

- What day?

It's, it's the most dangerous

day of the month.

Hannah!

You're not gonna believe

what I've just been offered.

Walter, there's something I have to tell you.

- Escher Wyss wants me to go to Baghdad.

They're gonna build a huge dam to irrigate

the entire desert. It's revolutionary.

Walter.

I'm pregnant.

You are?

- Yeah!

Have you seen a doctor?

- I don't need a doctor I'm absolutely sure.

Listen, we have to think about this.

Escher Wyss is the absolute best in turbines,

they offered me 300 francs a month.

I just can't turn 'em down.

Besides, you know what's

going on in Germany.
