Original subtitles

Thank you for not turning down my invitation.

Of course.

What happened was ugly and shameful.

I would like to apologize once again.

You just stood there and said nothing.

You didn't even try to intervene.

If I had known that you and your friends needed proof,

I would have brought the Iron Cross.

You have the Iron Cross?

At home and safely stored away.

But what does that matter now?

Thank you, keep the rest.

I want you to know that I came down hard on Andreas.

Very hard.

You won't have to see him again. Nor Klaus.

You know what's funny about that?

Before our first meeting, my wife warned me that it might be a trap.

That you...

That you might be a Nazi hunter trying to expose me.

A Nazi hunter? Me?

I would like to ask you to come to our next meeting.

I think you might be interested in meeting a great hero that rarely visits Germany.

Heinrich Hoch.

I thought Heinrich Hoch had died long ago. Heinrich Hoch is still alive?

Yes. Alive and well and good on his feet, despite the prosthesis.

Imagine that.

Why is that so important to you?

Why do you want me there?

Let me be frank, Ernst.

Some of our members are ordinary soldiers, as you have already noticed.

People I would never normally have associated with.

But you and I...

We have a lot in common.

We are very similar.

That's why I want you to stay with us.

Munich on line 2.

Nice to hear from you.

"Peg leg" will enter the stage in the next scene.

That's great news.

But Ernst won't be there.

Why not?

His story is as full of holes as a "Fischernetz".

What's "Fischernetz"?

-A fishing net. -Yes, like a fishing net.

No, like Swiss cheese, with holes so big that he almost got caught.

And yet I hear that he is still among the living.

I got out by the skin of my teeth.

But you did get out. I never had any doubt.

-Are you even listening to me? -Of course!

We will decide on the next steps as soon as Ernst is back.

Amos, are you listening?

I'll decide for myself if... Amos?

-Why did you hang up on him? -Trust me.

I was looking for you at the barn. Weren't you on the morning shift?

I was. I went to Yad Vashem afterwards.

No.

Why did you go there again?

-Enjoy your meal. -Thanks.

They have a video from Westerbork in their archives.

I was hoping to see my father there, but...

-Another disappointment. -I should've gone with you.

Going through that alone is really hard.

-What's going on with you? -Nothing, I have no appetite today.

It happens.

It never happens to me.

Have mine, I don't want it.

-Take it. -We shouldn't let it go to waste.

Remember the study we saw in Yad Vashem, about the Dutch Jews' Holocaust?

-Of course. -I found the expert who wrote it.

I have so many questions about Westerbork. That place devoured my family.

And he lives nearby.

I have a meeting with him. Now.

You are out of your mind.

-Hey. -You'll break down at some point.

-I am breaking... -Sorry, Mom.

Can you move the book club to where you do rehearsals with the kids?

-Ask Hadar. -We have started the interviews.

Set it up with the office.

Can we go ask her together?

I'm in a hurry right now. Talk to Hadar, okay?

Bye.

It's really hard for her, these interviews you two do with the survivors.

People are queuing up to talk to you.

I told Rafi about the train to Auschwitz for the first time.

I also went to Yad Vashem.

And your mother came with me.

-She did? -Yes.

It opened up something inside of her too. That's good.

-That's good. -I wish she would talk to Steven too.

-Yes, just don't push her. -Of course not.

-This is from Hadar. -Thanks.

He's a real mensch, that Steven, isn't he?

What's going on between you?

Honestly, it was really unexpected.

-I'm happy with him at the moment. -Well, it's about time.

Is he Jewish?

Judging from what I saw, he isn't.

-What could be so urgent? -I don't know. I hope nothing's happened.

Hadar.

Is everything okay?

-Tell him to pick up the phone. -Oh, okay. Pick up the phone.

Yes, I can hear you.

Lisa, what's going on?

You're right, you're right...

It's taking longer than I thought, but this is incredibly important research.

I'll be outside, okay?

Barcelona? When?

-Is there a way that you can postpone it? -His ex-wife?

How do you know?

From his body language.

Maybe Amy can go to your parents just for the first month.

I'm sorry.

Okay, I'm sorry, I'll start making arrangements.

Of course, put her on.

Hey, sweetie.

Oh, I miss you too.

Don't cry, sweetie pie.

I'm going to be back before Mommy goes away.

How much do I love you?

That's right, I'm moving back.

Bye, sweetie.

Miss you already.

Hey.

Let's not waste any more time missing each other.

Why don't you come with me?

-Come on, come with me. -Steven.

-Yes. -No, I can't come with you.

-Why? -Why?

I don't know, where should I start?

First of all, I've never even been on a plane.

And I don't know, what am I supposed to do in America?

We'll live together, we'll work.

Amy will live with us for a couple of months.

Until her mother comes home.

You can't just bring a stranger in to live with your daughter.

She'll hate me.

She's going to love you,

because she's going to see how much her father loves you.

We need to go back to work.

-Akkerboom? -Akerboom.

Akerboom.

Thank you for agreeing to see me on such short notice, Professor.

Was your father Johan Akerboom, the bank manager in Utrecht?

No, Johan was my uncle.

My father's name was Walter. We are from Amsterdam.

Aha, go on.

My father was sent from Westerbork to Auschwitz in July 1942.

Westerbork.

Westerbork, Westerbork...

Ah, Westerbork.

Westerbork.

Thank you.

Do you see your father?

No.

No, I don't see him here. But do you happen to know who this is?

Ah.

The "Hangman of Westerbork".

That's what they called him. I even recognize him from behind.

That's the young SS officer Martin Breitner.

Martin Breitner.

He was young, but he was a star.

The man who oversaw the deportation of Dutch Jews to the death camps.

The one who put more than 102,000 Jews on the trains to Auschwitz,

Sobibor, Bergen-Belsen.

-Can I keep this photo? -Yes, yes.

Thank you.

Do you have more photos of him that I can take?

Yes, yes, yes.

Breitner.

Breitner, Breitner.

Where are you, Breitner?

Breitner.

They got to him in the end.

What do you mean, "got to him"? Who did?

The Avengers.

Two from the Avengers' group managed to track him down in January '45,

and they eliminated him.

Yes, yes.

An eye for an eye.

The way it should be.

So she can afford something to eat.

Before I left the house,

I bent over my wife's belly like that.

She was already near the end of the pregnancy.

I kissed the baby in her stomach and said,

"Stay in your mother's belly until tomorrow."

"Don't come out until I get back."

My wife always laughed when I talked to her belly.

-And did you come home the next day? -Yes.

But I no longer had a wife.

The neighbors in the village put all the Jews in a barn

and burned it down with all the people inside.

Our baby in her belly burned too.

And these were neighbors you knew?

Neighbors I grew up with,

I went to school with,

who ate and drank at our wedding.

You said that you have three children, is that correct?

Yes.

Have you talked to them about what you've been through?

No, nothing.

They even don't know I had a family before them.

Is there a reason why?

Look at the grown-ups here, and then look at the children.

Grown-ups don't laugh.

With the children it's completely different.

And you know why?

Why?

Because we didn't tell them.

-You're still here? -Hold on.

-We're in the middle... -Sorry, you should leave.

-Excuse me. -Book club is about to start.

-I need the space. -Hold on.

-I asked Mom to move it. -I'm sorry.

-We have to... -It's okay.

-Thanks. -Use the library for two days.

You just took over the place.

Do you have another idea where Steven can work?

You each have a room, right? Hilton conditions.

And until he goes back to America, you two are a couple, right?

That's fine, everybody knows.

So you can stay over at his place or at your place, I don't really care,

and have your conversations with the survivors in the other room.

Alright?

-Great. Shuki... -Yes?

Set up the chairs in a semicircle. Come, I'll show you.

Where are we moving to?

She said that if we're a couple, we can move in together

and use the other room for the interviews.

I think that's a great idea.

Here we go.

I'm sorry, it's just, these are the things I hate about the kibbutz.

Everybody thinks they can shove their noses into your business.

"Everybody knows you're a couple until he goes home,

so you should live together and use the other room."

Wow, thanks so much.

We're only going to be a couple until I move to New York?

-What? No, that's not what I said. -I asked you to move in with me there.

I know.

But what about my studies?

We're research partners,

we'll be co-authors on the paper, it'll even be your thesis.

This will be an unbelievable boost to your academia.

The kibbutz and the university will be so proud of you.

The kibbutz is funding my degree.

-I can't just stop in the middle of it. -Why not?

You'll just go back and complete your credits.

Steven, I can't do it to my parents.

It's just me, my mom, my dad and Eitan, that's it.

If I leave, a quarter of the family is gone.

-I'm sorry. -Tamar...

Look, I want us to be together, okay?

But if you're going to give me excuses because you don't trust me or are scared,

or you just don't want to come, then just tell me.

Hello, everyone.

Come, I'd like to start the rehearsal.

Let's shake out our hands.

Shake, shake, shake.

Move your hips in circles. But quietly, please, Nadav.

Let's shake our hands, you can also make a sound.

Ready?

Ready? Very good. I'll do the counting.

And... Pay attention.

One, two, three and...

And from side to side. And again, four steps.

And from side to side. And we go in.

And we go out.

And four claps.

And we go in.

And we go out. Hold on...

Uh... Sorry to interrupt, are you Eitan's mother?

-I am. -I'm his friend from the squadron.

I came to visit the patient,

but I've been walking around in circles and can't find his room.

Oh, yes, it's a bit complicated. Look...

Go straight on the path, you'll see... Excuse me, I'm talking.

Turn right at the chicken coop, you'll see swings there.

Continue walking a bit and...

Well, it's complicated. Hold on.

Kids, I'm going out for two minutes.

Eitan,

you have company.

Is he this messy in the army, too?

-Not at all. Wow. -Eitan.

Maybe he went to his sister's? I...

Should I just wait for him? I don't want to hold you up.

No, no, but I'll let him know you stopped by.

-Okay? Thanks for the visit. -Thanks, Anna.

GOOD GUYS GO INTO AVIATION EITAN ZEHAVI

I can't get Christina's scream out of my head.

I can't get over it. What I did cannot be undone.

Christina, forgive me.

I can't forgive myself...

I can't get Christina's scream out of my head.

I can't get over it...

Don't look for me...

-If that boy does something to himself... -No way!

-Don't even think about it. No way. -He's never disappeared before.

Well, okay, he... Maybe he needed a break.

A change of scenery.

You're acting like he's a baby.

-Can you drop me off at the factory? -No problem.

Wasn't Dad supposed to be here by now?

He just showed up in our room in the middle of the night,

said something about...

Sammy framing my father for murder and left.

What?

Like Christina was murdered.

Find anything?

Nothing?

Everything is going to be fine, okay?

He doesn't seem like the kind of guy that's going to...

-That's going to what? -Everything's going to be okay.

What, Steven?

-Just forget what I said, never mind. -No, not "never mind."

It's fine.

-What did you say? That's going to what? -That's going to...

-I said that he's... -What?

-He doesn't seem the kind of... what? -That would commit suicide.

What?

Why would you even say that?

-I said that it was highly... -Why would you even say that?

-Why would you even say that? -I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry, I said it was highly unlikely. -But it means you thought about it.

It's okay.

Look,

let's just focus on finding Eitan,

okay?

-I'm sorry. -I'm sorry.

Come on, you haven't eaten all day, let me fix you a slice of bread.

Some sugar.

-Hey. -Hello, Anat.

I just heard, it's just that... I saw Eitan yesterday.

When did you see him?

-At night. -Where did you see him?

He walked from his room to the dining room.

At what time?

Ten, maybe a bit later.

-Did he say anything to you? -No.

No, we didn't talk, he seemed kind of...

He had this... I think he was carrying something on his back.

A bag?

Something like that. It was yellow.

Long.

Tamar, do you remember our trips to the desert when you were little?

Sure, I hated them.

Why?

I'm going to look for him.

Going to the desert alone in the middle of the night?

-What is she saying? -We're coming.

No, stay here. Dad should be back any moment.

Thelma...

Stay here, will you? Take care of things. He may come back.

Okay. I won't go without Dad. Alright? I'll be right back.

Call everyone, start a search.

-Eitan! -Eitan!

Uri.

You realize the damage you've done? You ruined the machine. It's a disaster.

-Have you been home? -What do I tell the Germans?

-That my worker can't follow instructions? -Your worker?

Your worker... followed all the instructions.

I told you the machine wouldn't work on two production lines.

-You left me with your damn sketches... -Don't you talk to me this way!

Don't you talk to me this way, you hear?

-Eitan is missing! -You scribbled...

Eitan is missing.

Dad.

Where's Eitan? What happened to him?

He just left a letter that he...

He's blaming himself for Ingrid and Christina's deaths.

I have a bad feeling, Dad.

Where's Mom?

Isn't she here?

No, she went out earlier.

She wanted to go to the desert. She thinks Eitan is there.

-But she said she'd wait for you. -I don't think she left the kibbutz.

-You think she did? -Don't you know your mother?

Let's go.

I'm going to kill him.

Dad, Eitan is broken. Okay? He's traumatized.

Dad.

I'm begging you, if we find Eitan alive...

-Of course we'll find him alive. -So when we find him alive...

-Of course. -Please, don't be too hard on him.

Dad, he needs you now.

Promise me.

Promise me.

Dad.

I promise.

I promise.

Good.

Eitan!

Come here.

Serves you right.

-You're crazy. -For what you did to me!

I'm sorry, Mom.

Once, my parents took me and my little sister...

for a picnic.

Outside of Amsterdam.

I was 12.

And then suddenly,

while we were there,

a man came up to us,

a farmer whose cows my father looked after.

My father was a veterinarian.

And then...

my father gave him money,

and then my mother told me...

She told me to go with him,

that he would look after me.

And then they wanted to hug me,

but I pushed them away.

I yelled at them that I...

I didn't want a hug.

And I didn't hug them.

And I never saw them again.

And I can't forgive myself to this day.

And then you suddenly disappeared...

and I saw your notebook and...

One time was enough for me.

-Okay, shall we go home? -Yes.

Wow, I haven't seen this tent in years.

Thank you.

You are very welcome, my sweetheart. Start taking it down.
