Walking with the Enemy Page #4

Why didn't anybody do anything?

I thought these were good people.

I knew them, their families.

My pain was for your people, but...

My shame was for mine.

But where did they go, Mr. Balacz?

Where did they take our families?

Rumors.

I heard the gendarmes say that

they were moving them

to the west because

the Russians are moving

closer from the east...

To protect them.

No one is telling us

to move for our protection.

Only the Jews.

It's Farkas.

Gendarmes.

Quick, to the basement.

You can stay there...

Mr. Balacz, we'll go.

- But you will be safe.

- But you won't.

We'll go.

Mr. Balacz was a true friend.

The others watched our families

being taken and stole our homes,

as if we meant nothing.

Their betrayal left scars

that will never heal.

- Seig...

- ...Heil!

Did you find the information

on Colonel Skorzeny?

He arrived yesterday.

Skorzeny commands

Hitler's elite SS troops

that broke Mussolini out of prison.

What is Berlin contemplating?

Stalin murders his own people,

Hitler wants to purify the world,

both crave supremacy.

How does one choose?

Father, you were forced into

an impossible decision.

I aligned Hungary with what I thought

was the lesser of two evils.

Our country would have been crushed

between them if you didn't choose.

Yesterday, Skorzeny met Szalasi

and the leaders

of the Arrow Cross Party.

Szalasi. The Hungarian Fascist.

The tide of this war has changed.

We need to navigate

the political waters carefully.

Our hope may rest with the Allies.

Excuse me, sir.

Colonel Skorzeny is here

for his appointment.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Regent.

This is my son, Miklos.

Regent, to be perfectly frank,

your resistance to the resettlements

of the Jewish population

has not gone unnoticed.

Jewish labor is required

for the war effort,

and Berlin must know that you

are loyal to the Reich's cause.

You are referring to Hungarians.

They're not your affair.

All policies regarding the

war effort are my concern.

Now I'm ordering you

to give authority over the

Jews to Colonel Eichmann.

And oil production will be

under German control.

Chairman Szalasi will be assisting us.

The Arrow Cross has

no governing authority here.

The Fuehrer needs our full support

if we are to stay strong

and resist the Bolshevik barbarians.

You have no need to advise me, Chairman.

Regent.

As you know, noncompliance

with Berlin is treason.

Good day.

The Jews have Eichmann.

We have Skorzeny.

All will be tested.

Ferenc. Ferenc.

I think we're close.

We arrived back in Budapest

only to find the Jewish

Quarter looted and abandoned.

Even where we worked.

He might be home.

Jozsef.

Jozsef, it's Elek.
