Walking with the Enemy Page #6

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

Or heard the gunshots.

We can't stay here.

I know.

We must find a new home.

Tomorrow.

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

My Uncle Miklos says we can stay.

It's not home, but at

least we'll be safe here.

It's called the Glass House.

It used to be an old glass factory,

but now the Swiss use it to

make protective passports.

If it's okay, my uncle

would like to talk to you.

You saved my niece.

For that I thank you.

On the other hand, two

German officers were killed.

SS, no less.

I know.

They look for their dead.

They start asking questions.

We don't need questions here.

My niece speaks well of you.

You have chutzpah.

Come with me.

Can't fight the Nazis with guns.

We can save many lives

with straight diplomacy.

Lajos?

Elek!

Ah! It's good to see you.

You know him?

Yes, he's a good friend.

You can trust him.

Good.

This is a Swiss passport.

We need runners to deliver them.

I'll do it.

Your identification as a Swiss employee.

Any Nazis or Arrow Cross who

stop you should respect it.

Personally, I recommend

not being stopped.

I didn't hesitate to help Miklos.

And by doing this...

Irma Soma?

...I might find my own family.

For you.

- Anne Gutschwein?

- Yes.

Andras Dorivag?

This is for you.

Oh, thank you.

Where is the radio?

Radios are not permitted.

Go.

Mama.

Mama.

Hey.

Shh.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

Now, come on.

But you can't stay here.

It's not safe.

Cannot stay.

Where else is he to go, Miklos?

This is not a dormitory!

Everyone can hear you, he can hear you.

This is a diplomatic mission.

No place for an orphan boy.

Find a proper place for him.

I'm sorry, sir.

Colonel Skorzeny's early.

- Show him in.

- All right, sir.

Come.

Good day, Regent.

Colonel, you know Consul Lutz.

Herr Lutz is precisely why

I've called this meeting.

You're requesting Swiss

passports for Hungarian Jews.

In this city alone,

there are over 7,000 Jews

with family ties to Swiss citizens.

I granted the request.

The Swiss are neutral in this war.

Transferring citizenship

is a German matter.

Colonel, we are still

a sovereign nation.

And Switzerland has

acted as intermediary

for Germany with the Allies.

Do you want to put a strain on

your relationship with the Swiss

over a few thousand citizens?

They're one of the last countries

willing to assist Germany

with diplomacy in this war.

Colonel Eichmann will have

to deal with this issue.

You are to cease transferring

citizenship until further notice.

Failure to cooperate

will have consequences.

Colonel, I will not be intimidated.

How's Hannah's food?

You remind me of my brother.

Always playing with his food.

How's the food?

He loves it.

Adam, I have a friend
