Walking with the Enemy Page #3

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

And if some do not cooperate?

You keep your people in order

and I assure you,

no person will be harmed

solely on the basis of

Jewish classification.

Do we understand one another?

Yes, Colonel Eichmann.

We are loyal Hungarians.

Many of us fought side by side

with the Germans in the Great War.

I, myself...

Thank you, gentlemen.

You're excused.

Weeks wore on,

and we continued to slave in the

wake of the German war machine,

repairing tracks,

digging fortifications,

burying the dead.

Some were too weak

to be of any more use.

The guards had their way

of dealing with them.

They know he's not well

so they work him harder.

Then we should help him.

Come with me.

Come. Together.

Hey!

Is this man incapable of doing his job?

No. We finish faster.

For you.

Get back to work.

Colonel Eichmann will see you now.

Heil Hitler.

Colonel Eichmann.

It is my pleasure

to make your acquaintance.

Welcome to my beloved Hungary.

I congratulate you on your

success throughout Europe.

I thank you.

The pleasure is all mine,

Chairman. Please sit.

The Arrow Cross Party has,

for many years now,

opposed Regent Horthy's

tolerant policies

that have protected the Jews in Hungary.

If I am to interpret

your presence here rightly,

you will find us ready to assist you

in removing the Jewish presence.

We can do great things together.

You and I.

Out! Out!

Out! Out!

Get up now.

Come, Uli. Uli, listen to me,

we have to go now. Now!

Leave him alone.

Please.

Now!

No!

Get up.

Back to work.

Ferenc, look.

Americans.

Elek.

Go! Go, go.

We have to jump.

- I can't.

- Yes, you can, Ferenc. Come on.

Ferenc.

Stop!

Please.

You have your freedom now.

Let's go our separate ways.

You gave him five more

seconds than he deserved.

Now, go home.

I'll be fine.

Thank you.

I was lucky to be alive.

A man I hardly knew saved my life.

We thought the Nazis

were the only enemy.

But the camp was run by Hungarians.

We didn't know

who we could trust anymore.

So, we avoided the roads and stuck

to the backwoods and the streams.

We might even make it home

in time for supper.

Listen, Ferenc, we have to be careful.

Stay out of sight until you get home.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Come here.

Mr. Farkas?

You promised they'd never come back.

Where is my family?

Get out of my house.

- Your house?

- Yes!

This is my house now.

Your kind are not welcome here anymore!

What have you done with them?

Leave my house!

Go!

- Mr. Farkas.

- Shoot them!

Shoot them!

Elek.

Where are they?

Elek?

Mr. Balacz.

It made sense to me then why they

called up all the men for Labor Service.

It was so easy for them

to clear the town

of women and children.
