Walking with the Enemy Page #2

Synopsis: A powerful new film inspired by a true story. This feature follows the heroic lives of a world leader and a young man swept up in the horrors of WWII. Both men are from Hungary--a country and German ally that had been spared the atrocities orchestrated by Hitler throughout much of Europe. As the war reaches its climax, Germany begins to doubt the loyalties of the Hungarian leadership-in particular Regent Horthy (Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley). The Regent tries to navigate his country between the growing terror of Nazi Germany and the oppressive threat of communist Russia. He is ultimately faced with ceding power to another political party or accepting the execution of his son. As the crisis unfolds, thousands of his citizens are forced underground or put into ghettos. One of them is a young man named Elek Cohen (Jonas Armstrong) who is separated from his family and determined to find them. Aided by the woman he loves (Hannah Tointon), Elek disguises himself as a Nazi SS officer and

to the Labor Service?

When this is all over,

and you go back to university,

can I still come and visit?

Yes. Of course you can.

And you'll introduce me to your friends.

No. No, no, no.

You're too young.

Now go to sleep.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Following Mr. Balacz, I knew I was

going against my father's wishes.

But he refused to listen.

Good evening, Father.

Good to see you, Mr. Balacz.

- Hello, Elek.

- Father.

Please, come in.

I have them ready. This way.

Thank you, Father Dominic.

How many people have you helped?

The less we talk the better, Elek.

We do not want to be compromised.

The safety of others depends on us.

I understand, Father.

God bless you, Elek.

Take care, Mr. Balacz.

I will, Father. Come.

Fazekas Attila.

Next.

One by one, every young man

prepared to depart

- for the labor camp.

- Istvan Gyula.

- And we had no idea what to expect.

- Labor Service. Here.

A quick goodbye was all

some families got.

I am worried what will

happen here, Papa.

You know, I should

be here with the family.

You will be soon.

And nothing will have changed.

And how do you know that, huh?

I don't.

It's what I believe.

Goodbye, Papa.

I love you, son.

We're all very proud of you.

I love you, too, Mama.

Hmm?

Look after Papa.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you, Elek.

Okay. Go, go, go.

You see me off, Sofi.

Take this with you.

You can give it back to me

when you take me to Budapest.

I need you to keep these for me.

Just keep them to yourself

for now, okay?

What are they?

They're baptismal certificates.

If anything bad happens,

you give them to Papa.

You make him understand.

This is a work camp.

You will clear roads, lay track,

construct bridges,

and do anything your country needs.

If you work hard,

you will make it back to your families.

If you try to escape,

you will join them.

Pull out your pockets.

Remove your belongings.

Everything will be accounted for

and returned when you leave.

Come on, come on, come on.

Give me this.

I'm all right.

I'm all right.

Dismissed.

Colonel Eichmann.

Head of the Jewish Council

and his associates to see you.

Have a seat, gentlemen.

I have called you here today

to be sure

that you understand.

There will be certain restrictions

placed upon Jewish activities,

all of which are within

Hungarian war interests.

Can you be specific

as to these restrictions?

Nothing too burdensome, I assure you.

No radios, no telephones, no travel.

We will impose a moderate curfew

and Jews will display the

Yellow Star on their clothing.

If your people work for the war efforts,

and follow these simple guidelines,

our presence here will hardly be felt.
