Walking with the Enemy Page #5

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

My God.

- Boys, how did you...

- Frau Lustig.

We're looking for Jozsef.

He won't be back.

What do you mean

he won't be back?

What happened?

He does not live here anymore.

They have moved all of the Jews

to the Yellow Star houses.

Frau Lustig. You have to tell

us where Jozsef is, please.

I have the address.

Isn't that the girl from the club?

Hannah?

Elek!

It's so good to see you.

We never see anyone come back.

How has life come to this, huh?

I don't know.

How's Rachel?

She's fine. We're all living

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.
