Passport to Freedom (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript

[Music playing]

[Woman singing
in native language]

Aracy: Do you think Dr. Goebbels
is really coming?

Joao: Makes sense
for him to welcome

the new Portuguese ambassador.

Germany needs to make sure

that we neutral countries
stay neutral.

Aracy: Why is it taking so long?
It's stifling in here.

Joao: You go inside.
I'll stay and check our coats.

Aracy: Are you sure?
Joao: Mm-hmm.

Aracy: Thank you, Joazito.



Zumkle: You think he'll
actually come tonight?

Schaffer: Dr. Goebbels?

Well, Magda assured me
they'd be here.

Zumkle: Magda?

Schaffer: Mrs. Goebbels.

I'd introduce you to her,
but she detests Jews...

unlike you.

Woman: Sorry for the delay.
Security's extra tight tonight

because of all
the important guests.

Joao: Can't be too careful.

Woman: I'm going to ask for
a photograph with Dr. Goebbels.

Joao: Lucky you.

Zumkle: You look particularly
stunning tonight.

Aracy: Thank you.



So you're consul's assistant
is late for the party?

Joao: Captain Zumkle.

Zumkle: It's Colonel now.

I was just saying how
[indistinct] looks stunning.

Joao: Doesn't she?
In fact, she looked even

more stunning this morning
when she woke up.

Aracy: Deputy Consul,
we better go to our table now.

Joao: Sure.

Ribeiro: Come and join us,
please.

Aracy: Thank you.
Good evening.

Woman: Good evening.

Schaffer: I can't deny you pick
beautiful women, Zumkle.

It's a shame they're all
from the sub-races, though.

That one, and your
nightclub singer? Hmm.

[Chairs scraping on floor]

Aracy: There's Goebbels?

Why don't any of these Aryan
leaders actually look Aryan?

[Music playing]

Joao: Shall we dance?

Aracy: Yes, please.

Zumkle: Dr. Goebbels.
Goebbels: Pleased to meet you.

Zumkle: Frau Goebbels.

Schaffer: Dr. Goebbels.
Goebbels: Pleased to meet you.

Schaffer: Frau Goebbels.

Magda doesn't seem to
know you from Adam.

Frau Goebbels is a lady...
unlike your Jewish girlfriend.

Give it a rest, Schaffer.

Well, to be fair,

there is fun to be had with
someone so feral, isn't there?

[Music continues]

Joao: Oh, my God,
you are beautiful.

Aracy: Shh...

Can we leave soon?

Of course.

Zumkle: May I?

Aracy: Of course, Colonel.

Tina: Deputy Consul.

Don't worry.
Aracy can handle herself.

You dance, beautiful.

Thank you.

Zumkle; Would you like to be
introduced to Dr. Goebbels?

No, thank you.

Colonel, you're
an excellent dancer,

but my feet are killing me.

Excuse me.

I told you she can
fend for herself.

The trouble is, Tina, some men
don't take no for an answer.

Ribeiro: Anita, dear, I think
we should introduce ourselves

to Dr. Goebbels,

and you, too, Rosa.

Joao: Of course.

Just need to go to
the powder room.

[Footsteps approaching]

Aracy: Colonel Zumkle.

Zumkle: Aracy, I need to
speak to you.

Aracy: No, you don't.

Zumkle: You keep avoiding me.

Aracy: I'm not avoiding you.
I hardly know you.

You know I've been
helping your friend Mrs. Levy.

I am a good man,

if you'll just give me
a chance to prove it.

[Slap]

["Perfidia" playing]

What happened?

Nothing.

It's just so hot
and crowded in here.

Tina: Aracy, are you all right?

You look very--
Aracy: I'm fine.

Was that SS man
bothering you again?

No, of course not.

Joao: Excuse me.

Tina: Hey, hey, hey.

He's not going to
make a scene.

Zumkle: Mr. Deputy Consul.

Can we talk alone?

Mr. Rosa, you were
rather rude to the lady.

[Snaps fingers]
A whiskey for the Deputy Consul.

Colonel, I'm saying
this to you,

not as a diplomat representing
my country, but as a man.

Stay away from Aracy.

Leave her alone.

Is everything all right?

Ohh!

Evening, miss.

Mister...Consul.

Schaffer:
Are you enjoying the party?

Yes, thank you.

Schaffer: It's a shame

Colonel Zumkle
didn't bring his friend.

Didn't you know that Colonel
Zumkle is quite the ladies man?

He has a beautiful girlfriend.

Schaffer: Why is it you didn't
invite her again, Thomas?

Is it because
she's a cabaret singer

or is there some other
sort of secret?

Zumkle: Excuse us.
Schaffer: Excuse us.

Let go of me, Zumkle.

Don't try to embarrass me.
You'll lose.

You don't need anyone
else to embarrass you.

I know you're sleeping
with that Jewess,

but don't think you're the only
one keeping her bed warm.

The difference is, it won't
be my head on a platter.

You're a disgrace
to our uniform.

Colonel.

Evening, Chief Brunner.

Any news on the
undercover activities

at the Brazilian Consulate?

We have got our eyes on it.

You must have enough
evidence by now

to pack off that stupid
little diplomat back to Brazil.

Brunner: Don't tell me
how to do my job, Colonel.

We will make our move
when the time comes.

[Tool rattling]

Schaffer: We want the names
of all your associates.

[Crash]

Krik: This is what
the resistance looks like.

Look what they did
to my daughter.

What should I tell her mother?

An eye for an eye...

An eye for an eye...

[Rudi crying]

There's been...too much
Jewish blood spilled.

And nothing will bring
my daughter back.

It was savage, the beating
that Schaffer gave her.

She didn't even resist.

She was dead when
they hanged her body.

For the first time in history,
a corpse was sentenced to death.

Brunner: Hmm! Then we should
use that for publicity.

"Hitler's Enemies Die Twice."
Ha ha ha ha!

Zumkle: So you're not going to
arrest her father,

the Jewish gangster?

Brunner: He controls
the docks.

The last thing we need is
a mob war in Hamburg.

Zumkle: You don't think
he's behind her operation?

Brunner: That's highly unlikely.

Any news on the Deputy Consul?

I'm working on it.

It all happened during the
reception. Nobody noticed.

Nobody saw anything.

Aracy: They hanged
her overnight

Without even
a pretense of a trial.

Joao: They don't need to
bother pretending anymore.

Aracy: Because Germany's
winning the war.

Joao: No.

Aracy: Let's face it, Joao.

Italy's their ally.

Spain, Portugal, and Greece
are staying neutral.

They already own
Czechoslovakia, Poland,

Denmark, and Norway.

And now France has fallen
with Belgium and Holland.

They own Europe!

Joao: Germany can
never win this war.

Russia's watching.

They have a nonaggression pact
with Russia.

Russia's waiting for Germany
to lose all its blood,

and then it'll deliver
the killer blow.

Tina: Aracy, Edu's school
just telephoned.

They want you to
come in and see them.

Aracy: Why is something wrong?

Tina: I don't know.
They didn't say.

Is it all right
If he measures up now

for the new blackout curtains?

Joao: Yeah, sure.

Tina: Please, come in.

It's gonna be right here.

[Door closes]

Vivi: Thomas?

What is it
that's so urgent?

Zumkle: Have you seen the news?

Vivi: I don't read newspaper.

Zumkle: Mm-hmm. Sit down.

Sit.

Do you know a man
called Mendel Krik?

a Bukharan, head of
the Jewish mob?

He controls the docks.

His daughter was involved in
a conspiracy to kill Goebbels.

Did they catch her?

[Sets glass on table]
She's dead.

You live at the docks.

You know the area.

Yeah, but I don't mix
with that kind of people.

I have to powder my nose.

I had a long night.

You can help me relax first.

[Door squeaks]

Hardner: Mendel Krik.

[Krik praying
in native language]

Amen.

My youngest daughter is dead.

I'm very sorry
for your loss.

My older daughter
is still in Ravensbruck.

But I need visas now for
her children and my wife.

Germany is not safe
for them anymore.

Your friend can arrange it.

Principal: I asked you to
come in so we could discuss Edu.

He hasn't been
doing his homework.

Aracy: But his grades
are excellent.

In History
and German, yes,

but look at
his arithmetic.

He doesn't finish
his assignments.

He leaves questions unanswered.

"The Jews are aliens
in Germany.

"In 1933, there were 66 million
people living in Germany.

499,862 were Jewish."

Principal: These questions
have been formulated with care

by children's educators.

They're not just math problems.

There are also
lessons in civics.

Aracy: "What is the percentage
of aliens in Germany?"

Probably a lot less
than in 1933.

Principal: When a student
solves one of these equations,

his view of the world broadens.

He learns concepts that will be
useful for the rest of his life.

Economics, moral,
and civic education.

Your son is 10 now.

He's just the right age
to enlist

in the Deutsches Jungvolk.

Sadly, he's not allowed
since we are Brazilian.

But his grandmother
is German,

so they'd be happy
to make an exception.

I've already talked
to the troop leader.

Here are the forms.
He needs order and discipline.

Thank you.

[Bell tolling]

Joao told me you
were here. Get in.

Aracy: That was Mendel Krik's
daughter they hanged?

He's calling in the favor
he did us

when he got the
sulfa drugs for Edu.

So he needs visas?

For his wife and the two
granddaughters.

They are all in
danger now.

Aracy: And their mother?
Hardner: She's in Ravensbruck.

But he wants to get
the kids out of Germany.

Do you have their passports?

No, they don't
have passports.

What?

But I'm trying to
organize them

and all the paperwork
they need.

It won't be easy
after what happened.

We owe him a favor
and he called it in.

Hardner, he saved Edu's life.

I will do whatever I have to
to save his granddaughters.

[Bell clanging]

Ribeiro: So many Brazilians
wanting to leave Hamburg now,

even the ones with
businesses here.

It's like they're
abandoning ship.

Joao: People are
afraid of the war.

[Knock on door]

Tina: Consul Ribeiro,
the Gestapo are here.

They want to speak with
the Deputy Consul.

Karlson: Mr. Guimaraes Rosa.

We'd like you to
come with us, please.

Gentlemen, this is
a consulate.

You can't just walk in here
and take away the Deputy Consul.

Krause: We need to ask the
Deputy Consul some questions

about his recent activities.

We're in the process
of making a formal complaint

to the Brazilian ambassador.

Please.

Can I get my coat?

Aracy:
Joao, what's happening?

But you just can't
let them take him, sir.

I'm calling the Ambassador
in Berlin right now.

Tina: Aracy.

Aracy: It's my fault.
Tina: Calm down.

It's me they should be
questioning, not Joao.

Consul Ribeiro's
taking care of it.

I'm the one that
should be there.

Chief Brunner, I'm here
as a diplomat

representing my country as a
guest of the German government.

Which is why you are being
treated so respectfully.

We have evidence that
you have been involved

in illegal activities.

What illegal activities?

Brunner: Expatriation of funds,
smuggling, helping Jews,

making anti-Nazi statements
about the war, the Fuehrer,

and German people.

That's ludicrous.

Look, I have
diplomatic immunity.

I cannot be interrogated
like this.

You cannot leave me
locked up in here.

[Door opens]

[Footsteps approaching]

Brunner: He's right...

we can't hold him here.

He's a diplomat from
a friendly country.

As soon as the Ambassador
gets back from the golf course,

you're going to
have to release him.

I want him sent back to his
country once and for all.

I should have known
you were in this.

Zumkle:
Mr. Deputy Consul.

Joao: I demand to be
released right now.

Well, there are some
serious charges

hanging over your head.

I was brought in illegally.
I have diplomatic immunity.

This is beyond unacceptable.

Zumkle: No, you're the one
overstepping the mark here.

It's about that?

"The Fuehrer does
as he pleases

because Germany is
a nation of idiots."

"Germany can never win the war
because Russia is watching."

That was...

"Russia is waiting for Germany
to lose all its blood,

and then it'll deliver
the killer blow."

Does the Gestapo have spies
inside the Brazilian Consulate?

'Cause that would be against all
diplomatic protocol.

You were heard saying this
outside the consulate.

I want to speak to
my Ambassador in Berlin. Now.

Zumkle: We've been
trying to reach him

but we've been
unable to so far.

That is why you are here.

He's playing his regular game at
the Berlin-Wannsee golf course,

which is apparently
rather a long one.

Naturally, we're observing
all international laws

and diplomatic protocols.

[Knock on door]
Tina: Consul Ribeiro,

I have the Ambassador
on the line for you.

Ribeiro: At last.

Hello?

Excellency.

I'm sorry about all this.

[Explosion]
[Screams]

[Coughing]

[High-pitched ringing]

[Sirens]

Consul...

we need to get out.

[Coughing]

[Pounding]

Tina!

[Coughing]
Tina!

Why is it taking so long?

We still haven't been able
to speak to your superiors

in Berlin
or in Rio de Janeiro.

Until we have a response to our
formal complaint about you,

you're to remain in
the custody of the Reich.

[Whispering]

What's going on?

Brunner: Your consulate
has been bombed.

What?

Joao: No, no, no!
Let--let me out of here!

Zumkle: Why did you
let him leave?

His consul has been bombed.

This places outside
of normal protocol.

[Sirens]

[People coughing]

Are you OK?

Yes, we're fine.
Aracy's stuck in there.

Aracy!

[Aracy coughing]
Joao!

Joao: Are you OK?
Aracy: The doors are jammed!

Joao: Who else is in there?

Just me and the Consul.

[Ribeiro coughing]
Aracy: He's hurt!

You got to help me.
We got to open this.

Take that end.

[Grunting]
Got it?

Stay away from the door!

Aracy: All right!

Joao: 2...now!

Again.

Again. One more!

Aracy: Please,
help the Consul.

[Coughing]
He's hurt.

[Coughing]

[Sirens continue]

Joao: Aracy, we got to
get out of here.

I'm coming.

Aracy: They've taken Joao
to Berlin.

He's been summoned
by the Ambassador.

You think they will
send him home?

I don't know. I don't even know
what they accusing him of.

[Coughing]
It was too fast to take it in.

I should take you
to the hospital.

Just inhaled a bit of smoke.
I'll be fine.

I need to see Edu.

What would happen to him
if I had died today?

Nothing because you didn't die.

Look what I've got.

Aracy...

you get more reckless
by the day.

You need to get
those children out of Germany.

I'll take them to Rudi.

I've got the kids'
photos ready.

Aracy: Can he get these
done by tomorrow?

There's a morning sailing.
Won't be full.

People are afraid to
cross the Atlantic now.

I'll ask him to try.

I'll call and reserve
places for them now

on the "Cap Arcona."

[Telephone rings]

Hello?

Margarethe.

Yes, yes.

Uh, no, I-I'm fine.

I'm just shocked, a little bit
shocked, but all right.

No, of course,
I'm still coming.

I'm driving you there.
Nothing's changed.

I'd forgotten you were
leaving tomorrow.

They hanged her, Hardner,
like a criminal.

One day, they will
pay for it.

Is that why you came here?

I need to get you into hiding
before they find you, too.

And...

Rudi: Brazilian passports?

Hardner: Mendel Krik's wife
and his granddaughters.

He wants to get them
out of Germany.

How quickly can you
get them ready?

I'll do it now.

Are you sure?

You up to doing it?

They're Helena's family.
I have to do it.

[Knock on door]

It can't be Joao back already.

Zumkle: Aracy.

What are you doing here?

I heard about the bomb
at the consulate.

I'm fine, thank you.

Zumkle: Hello!

Aren't you going to
introduce us?

You're Eduardo, right?
My name is Thomas.

Eduardo de Carvalho Tess.

He's a handsome boy.

Colonel Zumkle was
on his way out.

Zumkle: It was very nice
to meet you, Eduardo.

[Bell tolling]

[Door opens, closes]

Joao, I was so afraid
for you.

Joao: I was reprimanded
by the Ambassador.

Is he sending you home?

Joao: No, but he's taken
disciplinary action.

Aracy: It's all my fault.

This could affect your career.

I don't care
as long as you're safe,

as long as you're with me.

Tina: Will we still be
able to work from here?

Ribeiro: It will take
some cleaning up,

but apparently the building
structure is still intact.

There should be more
passports than this.

They must have caught fire.

Maybe, but they're worth a lot
of money on the black market.

I'll find the list
of serial numbers.

I had a long talk with
the Ambassador last night.

He wants us to fully cooperate
with the investigation

into the Deputy Consul's
so-called troubling

and unfitting behavior.

But it was the bomb that
burnt up the passports.

Still, I better inform
the German authorities

that passports are missing.

Get the police
on the phone, Tina.

Yes, sir.

Beyle: Aren't you taking
us to the ship?

Krik: You'll be
safer without me.

You're going to sail away on
a big ship to beautiful country.

[Beyle praying]

Aracy: As soon as you
arrive in Brazil,

you must go
and visit my mother.

Margarethe: You've told me
that at least 100 times.

Aracy: She lives in--
Margarethe: I know.

The neighborhood
is called Perdizes.

[Aracy chuckling]

Hugo: We can't thank you enough.

Aracy: You can...
living happily ever after.

So you can remember
the two of us...

in Hamburg.

How could I forget?

My Brazilian sister.

Take Care.

Thank you.

I don't know if
the Krik family made it.

I have no idea
what they look like.

You'll find out from Hardner.

Both: Let's go.

Aracy: Is that them?

Hardner:
I would say it's too late.

There's nothing you can do.

Someone must have
tipped off the police.

Aracy?

We can talk here.
It's safe. I know the owner.

So you're still risking your
life to save other people.

I wish I could be
more like you.

Aracy: Like me? No.

I've made a horrible mess.

My whole life is a mess.

Aracy: You need to leave
Germany, Vivi. I can help you.

No, no, I have to stay
and finish something.

Hardner: The police were
tipped off about the passports.

Aracy: Did you find out
where they've taken them?

Hardner: Not yet, but Mendel
Krik isn't going to let it go.

Vivi: Mendel Krik?

This is the reason
why I came here.

I heard his family
was leaving.

We were trying to
get them out.

Helena Krik was my friend.

I came to say good-bye
to her mother.

I can help.

I can talk to her father.
He knows me.

He trusts me.

Thank you for seeing me.

I'm so sorry about Helena.

You said you had information
about her death?

Yes.

I know who's behind it all.

[Liquid pouring]

Zumkle: So did you ask around
at the docks?

Yes, but nobody thinks
Mendel Krik knew

about the attacks on Goebbels.

He's never been involved
in politics.

[Footsteps]

You're not trying to poison me,
like Dr. Goebbels?

Why would I do that?

[Footsteps thudding]

I'd be helpless
without you.

Have you been with Schaffer?

Zumkle: Now that idiot thinks
he can use it to humiliate me.

What did you
tell him about me?

[Footsteps thudding]

[Click]

Why are you here with me?
You know what we do to Jews.

Jews always looked down on me.

You know I never
belonged to that world,

and you never
judged me for it.

You're very powerful,
and that's very appealing

to someone who has
no power at all.

I know a lot of women would be
happy to take my place.

[Distant thuds]

Vivi: You know I'm yours.

You can trust me.

[Telephone ringing]

Zumkle: Yeah.

Zumkle: Danke schoen.

A man was just captured.

He was coming to kill me.

Mendel Krik.

Your friend's father.

Your best friend Helena Krik
who you said you didn't know.

You betrayed me with Schaffer.

You were lying to me
all the time.

Zumkle: This is what you want,
isn't it?

Vivi: Uhh!

Mmm...

[Vivi sighs]
I don't want to die.

[Vivi gasps]

[Exhales]

[Exhales]

Aracy: I wonder if we'll
ever see them again.

Of course, we will...

when we get home.

[Plane flying]

Aracy: Joao,
I've made a decision.

Can't raise my son
here anymore.

I'm getting Edu out of Germany
as soon as I can.

[Plane flying]
