Hunters (2020) s02e08 Episode Script
The Trial of Adolf Hitler
1
It's Clara. I'm not in.
Leave me a message.
Clara, it's me again.
I'm just calling to see
if you'd pick up.
I miss you.
Today is a momentous day
a historic day as former German
Chancellor Adolf Hitler
is set to be tried for
crimes against humanity
by an International
Criminal Tribunal.
It is the culmination
of a surreal two months
in which dental records
and fingerprints have
proved the veracity of
Investigations have been opened
as to how Hitler
was able to stage his
own death and evade justice.
It is believed that a group of
undercover "Nazi
hunters" were involved
in bringing Mr. Hitler to justice.
Only one member of the group
has been publicly identified.
The woman who single-handedly
walked Adolf Hitler
into the American Embassy in Uruguay.
Former FBI Agent
Former agent of the American FBI
- Millicent Morris.
- Millicent Morris.
Will you tell us how you caught him?
Who else were you working with?
Do you want to see him hanged?
Should Hitler be put to death?
Hey, you okay?
I wish my Murray was here to see this.
He is here.
He's seeing this.
He owns a toy shop in Manhattan?
Yes, Heinz Richter opened
The Red Balloon Toy Shop 20 years ago.
He lives alone in Forest Hills.
They we're very close.
But we need more.
- More?
- Yes, we need more.
We need to be 100% certain.
- Oh, but Ruth
- No, she's right. He
He's a collector, this man.
He has something of his
former life with him.
I can assure you that.
Break in.
- See what you find.
- Meyer, that could expose us.
Killing an innocent man?
That will expose us to things
we could never recover from.
We're very close here,
but you must verify.
I will see what I can do.
Good.
Ah, yes.
After all these years
to think that we may have
finally found him is
Look what we created.
It's great.
It's not the only
thing we created, Meyer.
She was a beautiful girl,
- Naomi.
- My mother's name.
Your mother was a saint.
So
so I thought it would rub off.
But she was a pain the ass. Naomi.
Precocious, bold.
Like her mother.
But she was also like her father.
She was kind, good.
I wish oh, I wish you met her.
Oh, I I wish I did, too.
Look at me, Meyer.
Look.
She had your eyes.
Yeah.
I
I remember.
When he did this to
you in that awful room.
I could feel it, too, I suppose.
Seared
on my own heart.
So many scars, Ruth.
Hmm?
Yes.
What are we but scars?
I'm so glad
that I found you.
Finally
I've found you.
Let him live! Let him live!
Security is on high alert
at the Munich courthouse.
Germany has received credible threats
of a possible terror attack
from white supremacist groups.
An emotional day is expected
as spectators include survivors
of the Nazi concentration camps.
Gosh, he looks old.
Yeah.
Authorities are afraid
of an attack.
And they should be afraid.
Showtime.
Hitler will be tried by five justices:
Boris Federov of Russia,
Marion Jenneret of France,
Archibald Hollings of Great Britain,
Lorraine Collins of the U.S.,
and Chief Justice Wolfgang
Müeller of Germany,
whose objectivity has come into question
due to his alleged ties to the
Nazi regime as a law student.
Justice Müeller has not commented
- on the allegations.
- We are gathered here
for the International
War Crimes Tribunal
in the name of the people
in the criminal case
against Adolf Hitler.
Many have declared this case
to be the trial of the millennium.
I would offer that in this courtroom,
with this agent of the
court presiding over it,
this will be a trial like any other.
We are simply here to
establish this individual's
innocence or guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt
of the crimes of which he is accused.
Remember, my fellow
justices and I must arrive
at a unanimous decision before
the ruling is considered final.
Mr. Frankel, it's the
prosecution's case.
Though it is no exaggeration
to say that our case has been
a Herculean task
to tally the grave
offenses of the accused
Adolf Hitler.
The fact is
our case is a relatively simple one.
Given the work of our predecessors
and the precedent established
by the International
Military Tribunal at Nuremberg
and the subsequent trials in the period
immediately after the war.
It is therefore our contention
that we will present to you
an open and shut,
airtight case.
Thank you, Mr. Frankel.
The defense may now rise
and state their case.
Knock 'em dead.
Traitor. Traitor!
Traitor!
Traitor!
You're a Jew!
- How can you represent him?
- Order! There will be order.
Your Honors.
I, um
I stand before you
on behalf of my client, Adolf Hitler.
And, um
I
I am not here to argue that
my client is not a monster.
That he wasn't a dictator
or even a murderer.
I am here to defend his right
to a free and fair trial.
And I am here
to argue that Adolf Hitler
should be found not guilty
of the specific charges
he is accused of.
Thank you.
Let us proceed.
Please,
tell us your occupation, Mr. Speer,
between 1942 and 1945.
I served the Reich as minister
of armaments and war production.
This is an affidavit,
which you signed in Munich.
Would you please read the
highlighted section to the court.
"Hatred of the Jews was Hitler's
motor and central point.
Perhaps even the very
element that motivated him.
I was present at the
session of the Reichstag
of 30th January 1939,
when Hitler assured us
that in case of a war,
not the Germans,
but the Jews would be annihilated."
Tell me, when did you first learn
of Adolf Hitler's plan to exterminate
Europe's Jewish population?
Uh, Objection, Your Honors. Leading.
Objection sustained.
I'll move on.
In 1945, Hitler issued
his so-called Nero Decree.
What did this policy call for?
Anything of value within Reich territory
that could be used by the enemy
for the prosecution of the war
was to be destroyed.
And why did he issue this order?
Objection, Your Honors.
- Speculation.
- Sustained.
Your Honors, this witness
will have insight into
- the reasoning behind
- I've ruled.
Move along, Counsel.
Tell me.
When you last saw Adolf
Hitler in his bunker in Berlin,
what did he say to you?
He said
his biggest regret
was that he hadn't
finished off the Jews.
And why do you think that
was his biggest regret?
Objection, Your Honors.
Again, speculation.
- Objection sustained.
- Your Honors, it is perfectly within the
- I said sustained.
- perfectly within the prosecution's right
- to question the witness in this way!
- I said sustained, Counsel!
Mm, you did.
Bullshit.
Counsels, in our chambers.
Beg your pardon, but
are you gonna allow me
to get more than a question
in before sustaining
some errant, extralegal objection?
Are you finished?
Yes.
Your Honors.
I'd like to remind you, Counsel,
that the burden of proof
in this case falls on you.
You must firmly establish
Hitler's culpability
for crimes against peace, war crimes,
crimes against humanity, and conspiracy
to commit those foregoing crimes.
The charges that you brought.
Now, if you can do this,
beyond a reasonable doubt,
then I shall rule in your favor.
But if you can't, I shall rule in his.
It's as simple as that.
Am I understood, Mr. Frankel?
Yes.
Good.
Just doing my job.
Doing the right thing.
We're both Jewish, you
and I, and, yet, I suppose
we have a very different idea
of what the "right thing" is.
We now move to call to the stand
the survivors of the Holocaust.
The court must move past the abstraction
of genocide and hear it
from the victims themselves.
You may proceed, Mr. Frankel.
I now call to the stand
Mrs. Mindy Markowitz
of Brooklyn, New York,
by way of Kalisz, Poland.
Would you please state
your name for the court?
Mindy Markowitz.
Abraham Putnitsky.
Esther Schwartzman.
Vadoma Orsos.
Isaac Wolff.
Sara Weil.
Would you tell us where you were born?
Kalisz, Poland.
Berlin, Germany.
Ostrava, Czechoslovakia.
Zalaegerszeg, Hungary.
Vienna, Austria.
Lodz, Poland.
Could you please tell us
what happened to you
under the Nazi regime?
The gestapo
took us from
our small apartment
and forced us onto cattle cars.
- Objection, Your Honors.
- What?
On what grounds, Counselor?
I am deeply sorry for what Mrs
Markowitz has gone through, but I object
on the grounds of relevancy.
Your Honors.
At a time when the truth
about the Holocaust is frequently
and fervently denied
belittled and whitewashed
it is important to establish
the fundamental truth
that the Holocaust happened.
That it was a systematic
campaign of genocide
by actors and nations
many of whom wish it could
be written off as a fantasy
that resulted in the deaths
of 11 million men, women
and children.
And was conceived and executed
by the man who sits in that glass box.
If these survivors'
testimony of their experience
is not relevant, Your Honors
well, I don't know what is.
Overruled.
You may proceed,
Mrs. Markowitz.
There there were dozens
of us in the cattle car.
No room to sit or go to the bathroom.
Hardly any air.
The Nazi guard shot my
father right in front of me.
My mother, too.
And then he laughed.
"Left, right."
That's what the Nazi guard said.
They marched her right
into the gas chambers.
We saw the awful black smoke
coming from the crematoria.
She was seven years old.
My daughter.
My boyfriend and I were
forced to go on a death march.
Half-naked, emaciated.
Snow falling on our heads
as we heard the allied
gunfire from the distance.
The guards assigned me the role
of loading the dead
bodies into a mass grave.
I couldn't bear it,
so I ran away.
He was a beautiful boy.
Aaron.
When we got to the camps
the Nazis tried to separate us.
My husband, Murray
wouldn't let go of Aaron.
The Nazi guard
r-ripped Aaron
from Murray's arms
and shot my little boy
in the chest.
I miss him every day.
I miss my Murray, too.
Mein velt.
How life would have been different
if not for all this.
If not for you.
I have long dreamt of this day.
The day
when I would face you
- and say to you how I felt.
- Objection, Your Honors.
- Mrs. Markowitz!
- The day when I could finally be heard.
Mrs. Markowitz, you must
address your comments
to the bench, not to the defendant.
I was just a young girl before it all.
I liked to dance to Marlene,
read dime novels, study my engineering.
I was just a person.
We were just people.
And you tried to exterminate us.
To bid us extinct.
But now
you are in our arena.
- Your Honors
- Mrs. Markowitz!
A hall of law.
You tried to bury us.
But we were seeds.
And we grew back stronger.
And our branches
reach
toward the light of justice!
- Mrs. Markowitz
- We survived to tell the story.
And we will never,
ever let
the world forget.
Mrs. Markowitz, that is enough
That's it. All done.
He doesn't deserve
any more
of my breath
or thoughts
or words.
That is all, Your Honors.
Mr. Kramer?
We have no further
questions, Your Honors.
Nein!
Uh, just-just a moment with my client?
Cross-examine her.
She lied.
She didn't lie.
She is a liar.
And if they
these people lied about this
They didn't lie.
- Expose her.
- Mr. Kramer?
Just-just a moment, Your Honor?
They all lie.
They exaggerate. We are merely
moving them out of the country.
Your Honors, we have
no further questions.
Yes, we do.
We have many questions.
What are you doing?
- Question her.
- No.
Then you're fired.
You want to represent yourself?
Mr. Kramer.
Just-just a second, Judge.
You think the justices and the world
are not gonna see a raving lunatic?
I'm the only person standing in
the way of you getting hanged.
So, tell me so you want me to,
you want me to further the
big lie? You want me to
distort their words, try and poke holes
in their accurate recollections?
Then you can hang yourself.
What'll it be?
We have no questions, Your Honors.
Thank you, Mrs. Markowitz.
Court is now adjourned for the day.
The trial heads into
its third day today,
as prosecuting attorney Oliver Frankel
is set to deliver his
argument to the court.
This
is the man who started all of this.
In 1935,
the Nazis introduced racial laws which
divested Jews of their
rights of citizenship.
Who was chancellor of
Germany at that time?
Adolf Hitler.
In '41,
the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union.
When the mass murder of the Jews began,
who was chancellor of
Germany at that time?
Adolf Hitler.
In January '42, documents detail
the Wannsee Conference in
Berlin, where Hitler's scheme
the Final Solution
the permanent extermination
of the Jewish people
was coordinated and discussed
by his chief lieutenants
on his order.
The Earth is round.
The sky is blue.
And Adolf Hitler is responsible
for the murder
of 11 million Jews,
Romani, homosexuals,
political dissidents,
Communists, Poles,
and countless others
during his reign
of genocide.
The prosecution rests, Your Honors.
Hello?
Uh
is this Heinz Richter?
Who is this?
Don't hang up.
I'm here to tell you
that there is a woman.
A survivor who has found you.
And you would do well
to see that you find her first.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Who are you?
Her name is Ruth Heidelbaum.
2513 73rd Street.
Brooklyn.
Did you get that down?
- Who is this?!
- My honor is called loyalty.
Hello?
It's me, Ruthie.
Just checking on you.
I'm fine, Mindeleh.
Thank you.
We should talk tomorrow, though.
There's something
there's something I've found.
It's day five of the
trial of the century,
and Adolf Hitler's defense attorney
Benjamin Kramer began his
arguments in court today.
Reflecting a strategy that is
"Throw everything at the
wall and see what sticks".
On one point almost everyone
around the world is in accord
that Hitler's attorney has
exhausted all his options,
which leaves only one question
for Mr. Kramer's strategy.
Will Hitler take the stand?
Hey. What the fuck are you doing?
You can't put him on the fucking stand.
- Why not?
- "Why not?"
Because you're giving him free airtime.
To millions of people around the world.
Another another soapbox,
another bully pulpit,
another fucking TV show!
He has a right to a defense.
At what cost?
- Oliver
- He will proselytize.
He will lie.
He will deny, he will
indoctrinate, he will incite.
He will raise a new generation. No!
You cannot allow this.
You better do a good job in cross.
It's his right.
Do you want to be responsible ?
It's his right.
Even he has rights.
If he doesn't have
rights, then what are we?
Do you want to be
responsible for raising in
the next generation of neo-Nazis?
Of racists? Of
anti-Semites? Of mass murderers?
If you put him on the stand
if you allow this
what'll he be making of you?
But if I don't
what'll he be making of us?
This can't be a-a sham,
a-a a show trial,
a kangaroo court
If we don't give him a proper defense
- won't we be like him?
- No.
No.
You're a Jew, Ben.
- I know.
- Yeah.
You're a Jew.
You doing this?
This isn't just a reflection on you.
This is about all of us.
What does this say about us?
That's why I'm doing this.
Because of what it says about us.
Do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
So help me God.
You think it's a ploy?
Every television set in
the world will be on him.
He's up to something.
It's the guards in
here I'm worried about.
The MPs?
Our contacts have checked every one.
We've confirmed their
backgrounds, their credentials,
their identities.
We all just keep our eyes open.
The defense has had Adolf Hitler
on the stand for nearly
an hour, trying to create
distance between the
former chancellor of Germany
and his underlings.
Did you ever order the
deaths of six million Jews?
No.
Did you order the death of 6,000 Jews?
No.
Did you order the death of a single Jew?
I never ordered the killing of any Jew.
And no document or paper
will tell you otherwise.
You American killed
your Native Americans,
enslaved Africans.
You Brits, you put the Boers
into concentration camp.
And you Soviets killed
millions of people.
And you sit there
to judge me?
No further questions, Your Honors.
Your witness, Counsel.
You say you were following
German laws by the books?
That's right.
You say that you were merely
executing wartime duties
and abiding by wartime
international statutes?
That's right.
You say that you never
ordered the death of a single individual
during your reign as chancellor?
That's right.
I'm innocent.
Innocent!
Then if you broke no laws,
defied no conventions, why hide?
Why hide away in Argentina?
In a 200-hectare compound
with nowhere to go?
I wasn't hiding.
Ah, then then, then
what were you doing?
Vacationing.
"Vacationing"?
For 30 years?
I earned it.
I was in my summer home
in Argentina, enjoying the sun
relaxing and writing
a new chapter for my memoirs.
And working on a a return.
A return to what?
Politics.
You think
you would've been welcomed back?
To the world stage?
Everybody likes a good
comeback story, no?
You say you based your ideology
on the notion of the master race.
Could you tell me what
this means, please?
Objection, Your Honors. Relevancy.
All of Hitler's actions were
based on a single ideology.
And at the core of that ideology
was the lie of the master race.
To help establish criminality,
it is important to establish intent!
Tread carefully, Mr. Frankel.
So, again, this theory
of the master race, could
you tell us what this means?
This lie?
It's not a theory.
It's a fact.
And yet you're here.
In a prison jumpsuit and shackles.
Strange for a king, no?
Because of the Jewish conspiracy.
Ah, "the Jewish conspiracy."
- The age-old lie.
- Objection.
- Overruled.
- So you're here because of the Jews?
Like me? How's that?
Because of your lies.
Lies. Lies about what?
About the nature of my involvement.
So you were not involved
in the extermination of millions of men,
women, children
and infants?
Of course not.
Won't your acolytes be
disappointed to hear that?
There are many racists and bigots
out there, sir, who
still worship you, sir.
Precisely because you did architect
the genocide of six million Jews,
hundreds of thousands of Romani
homosexuals
and others.
Are you saying that they
are wrong to worship you?
Well, they're not wrong.
I am a man of many accomplishments.
Of reformation and revolution.
Of world order.
World order.
So you are responsible
for the Holocaust?
I, um
So they are wrong to idolize you?
- No, they're
- Well, which is it?! Either you
deny your participation
in the Holocaust or
you take pride in your
extermination of millions of people.
It cannot be both.
This is what you do, you Jews.
You twist words.
You are responsible for
what happened to you.
Oh, of course we are. Right.
We-We're responsible for everything.
For-for the plague.
And earthquakes.
The Great Depression.
All the wars in the world.
Disease and famine.
Pain and misery.
And all the evil.
And all the darkness in the world,
which you have created.
You villains!
You vermin! You are scum!
Is this why you were in hiding?
- I wasn't hiding
- 'Cause you're a rambling loon!
A late-night show punch line!
A drug addict who's manic and lame
and hateful and pathetic and wrong!
Who used the basest tool of all, fear,
to demonize and turn
ignorant, ignorant people
against their fellow countrymen
all to hold onto power?!
- Objection.
- Sustained. Counsel?
I am still the leader of the party.
What party? The Nazi
party no longer exists.
I am the head of the Reich!
West Germany's a full-fledged democracy!
You think I speak of Germany?
I am the leader of a movement
that has roots in
people's heart and minds,
and in their blood and soil.
Of course, I gave the order!
- Your Honors? My client has completely
- Of course!
- I had the visions
- He admitted it!
- Just a moment, Your Honors!
- Of course, it's me!
There will be order.
And my people
will still follow me.
- You hear me?
- I do.
You hear me?!
I do.
And we will be there every minute
of every day to combat it.
We know that it won't go away.
We know that hatred
and ignorance and fear will always be
a part of our collective society.
But you, you won't, sir.
One day they will find a new idol.
A new, uh, fraud.
Born out of some new means
of mass communication.
But peddling the same old lies.
Of bogeymen.
And dying cultures and deep states.
And we will counter him
too.
No further questions, Your Honors.
After two days of deliberation,
the verdict is in.
The world waits
nervously as the justices
will render their
decision this afternoon.
My fellow justices and I have listened
carefully to the testimony and arguments
put before the court,
and we have examined
all of the documents and evidence.
The marshal will produce
the defendant before the tribunal.
Adolf Hitler
on the count of
crimes against peace,
the tribunal finds you
guilty as charged.
On the count of war crimes: guilty.
On the count of crimes
against humanity: guilty.
On the count of common plan
or conspiracy to
commit murder guilty.
Adolf Hitler,
you are hereby sentenced
to lifetime imprisonment
without the possibility of parole.
Adolf Hitler has been
found guilty on all counts.
Hey, hey, hey
Okay, let's go.
What's wrong?
Shit!
Medic!
Damnit!
We need an ambulance.
Hey! We need help! Quick!
He's having a heart attack!
They're saying he had a heart attack!
They're taking him to a hospital now!
Yes
Go. We got to go.
We got to go. He's up to something.
Seven minutes from
Universität München.
Six minutes from Universität München.
Six minutes away.
When we get to the hospital,
I'll secure his room.
You all take the perimeter.
That's if he's going to the hospital.
Who has an extra gun for me?
Me.
Fucking bunch of Eagle Scouts.
I love it.
- Step on it!
- Go, go, go, go!
They're getting away! Go!
Hang on.
Where are you going?!
The hell are you doing?!
The hospital's that way!
Heil Hitler.
Ten seconds.
Now! Now! Now!
Now!
Hold on!
Joe!
We must hurry, Mein Führer.
Watch your step.
It was about time.
Hello, my love.
And bravo to you.
It was my honor to save him.
Uh, you weren't quite
saving him, though.
What is going on?
What an embarrassment, what
you did in that courtroom.
Broadcast to the whole world.
That lawyer was right.
You looked like
the pathetic, hateful,
unimaginative loon that you are.
No.
Succession starts now, my darling.
I take the crown.
I lead.
Seeing as you have
allowed yourself to be captured, though,
we can't risk disappearing you again.
We kill you here,
burn your body, and pretend you have
gloriously escaped to
an unknown location.
Never to be seen or caught again.
There is a problem.
You are not a leader.
I've saved your hide twice now.
I am more of a leader
than you ever were.
Do it!
This cause doesn't respond
well to queens, unfortunately.
But me?
I'm a leader.
I'm the future.
It's time to go.
What do you want?
I want you to anoint me.
People like a clear line of succession.
I amassed an army while
I was in prison. Come on.
These are men who know
how to fight, to kill.
I can lead them.
They're getting us out of here.
A helicopter's on its way.
Get down! Down!
Travis!
Travis! Where are you?!
Look at me. Look at me!
Jonah!
Put your fucking guns down! Now!
On the ground!
Get on the fucking ground!
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
You got to breathe, Jonah. Hold on.
Get me that fucking ambulance!
Get me an ambulance now!
Ner zeh ani madliq
l'illui nishmat
Re'ut bat Avraham.
Amen.
I wish I knew her.
The real her, you know?
You know the real her, Jonah.
- No. No, I didn't.
- Oh, yes.
Not the
one who hunted Nazis.
Not the vigilante.
Not the woman before
everything happened.
But you.
You knew all those parts of her.
Well, Jonah, I've been
on this Earth many years.
You know, I have seen the
dimensions of human beings.
I've known the doubles
and the doppelgängers.
Angels and monsters, both.
But above all else
there's one true self.
Each of us chooses
who we show that self to.
And Ruth
chose you.
Only you, Jonah
saw the real her.
The way she looked at the moon
like it was her friend who
abandoned her all those years ago.
She always feared that
she would forget her mother's face.
I remember she wished she was
not only known as a survivor.
But she was grateful
that, that-that she did.
She was always grateful.
- Mm.
- So much more to her.
She
Every time she laughed, she would wink.
She also loved to wish on eyelashes.
She loved that.
How wonderful
and liberating for her
that she had you.
She had you to be there.
And be seen by.
The way you saw her
As a human being.
And isn't that what we all want?
Hmm?
That think as we may
otherwise
maybe that's our real need.
Our reward for being
in this absurd life.
To be seen.
How simple.
What else is there
than being seen?
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm sorry.
Come on, love, we're going to be late.
Says the woman whose been
in the shower for an hour.
Yeah?
Bonjour, Madame Morris,
I have a Congresswoman
Handelman for you.
Agent Morris.
Liz.
It's been a long time.
A long road.
But I'm calling to say good work.
What?
On bringing Hitler to justice.
We would like to honor you
with the Congressional Gold Medal.
I was calling to tell you the good news.
It was me.
I shot him. I shot Prentz. It was me.
We can't wait to honor you in D.C.
You're a hero, Millie.
The world needs heroes.
Oh, hey.
Come on, love. We can't be late.
Hmm?
Mazel tov!
Love ♪
Love will keep us together ♪
I am shocked that you
didn't bring a plus one.
Of course I did.

You know, Clara's gonna be home soon.
Yes, about 14 minutes away, I'd say.
Last I spied her, she was

I'm out of the game, Harriet.
I know.
Unfortunately, I do know this.
I just came to give you

Huh, I do love a wedding gift, open it.
Go on.
You and Millie already got us

Well, this one's just from

I found it when I was at Chava's.
Clearing out her things.
What is this?
They're phone records.
From Heinz Richter's
Red Balloon Toy Shop.
June 17, 1977.
Day my safta was killed?
At 9:17 p.m., just a couple of hours
before Ruth was murdered,
a call came into the toy shop
from 212-073-4309.
The number that belonged
to the residence of
Meyer Offerman.
Meyer called Richter.
Meyer gave the order.
My deepest sorrows
about your grandmother.
Ruth had discovered Meyer was The Wolf.
She figured it out.
But before she could act
he got to her.
Evil doesn't rest, Jonah.
Evil doesn't retire.
So why should we?
How can we?
We tell the stories of the
past to change our future.
Anyway, do give my best to Clara. Hmm.
Wishing you both the happiest
of ever fucking afters.
Miami was a nice little
surprise for a honeymoon.
You know, I thought it'd
be a good change of pace.
What?
I see them in you.
Your safta. Chava.
I see you.
And I love what I see.
To new beginnings.
L'chaim.
- Here you are, sir.
- Danke.
It's Clara. I'm not in.
Leave me a message.
Clara, it's me again.
I'm just calling to see
if you'd pick up.
I miss you.
Today is a momentous day
a historic day as former German
Chancellor Adolf Hitler
is set to be tried for
crimes against humanity
by an International
Criminal Tribunal.
It is the culmination
of a surreal two months
in which dental records
and fingerprints have
proved the veracity of
Investigations have been opened
as to how Hitler
was able to stage his
own death and evade justice.
It is believed that a group of
undercover "Nazi
hunters" were involved
in bringing Mr. Hitler to justice.
Only one member of the group
has been publicly identified.
The woman who single-handedly
walked Adolf Hitler
into the American Embassy in Uruguay.
Former FBI Agent
Former agent of the American FBI
- Millicent Morris.
- Millicent Morris.
Will you tell us how you caught him?
Who else were you working with?
Do you want to see him hanged?
Should Hitler be put to death?
Hey, you okay?
I wish my Murray was here to see this.
He is here.
He's seeing this.
He owns a toy shop in Manhattan?
Yes, Heinz Richter opened
The Red Balloon Toy Shop 20 years ago.
He lives alone in Forest Hills.
They we're very close.
But we need more.
- More?
- Yes, we need more.
We need to be 100% certain.
- Oh, but Ruth
- No, she's right. He
He's a collector, this man.
He has something of his
former life with him.
I can assure you that.
Break in.
- See what you find.
- Meyer, that could expose us.
Killing an innocent man?
That will expose us to things
we could never recover from.
We're very close here,
but you must verify.
I will see what I can do.
Good.
Ah, yes.
After all these years
to think that we may have
finally found him is
Look what we created.
It's great.
It's not the only
thing we created, Meyer.
She was a beautiful girl,
- Naomi.
- My mother's name.
Your mother was a saint.
So
so I thought it would rub off.
But she was a pain the ass. Naomi.
Precocious, bold.
Like her mother.
But she was also like her father.
She was kind, good.
I wish oh, I wish you met her.
Oh, I I wish I did, too.
Look at me, Meyer.
Look.
She had your eyes.
Yeah.
I
I remember.
When he did this to
you in that awful room.
I could feel it, too, I suppose.
Seared
on my own heart.
So many scars, Ruth.
Hmm?
Yes.
What are we but scars?
I'm so glad
that I found you.
Finally
I've found you.
Let him live! Let him live!
Security is on high alert
at the Munich courthouse.
Germany has received credible threats
of a possible terror attack
from white supremacist groups.
An emotional day is expected
as spectators include survivors
of the Nazi concentration camps.
Gosh, he looks old.
Yeah.
Authorities are afraid
of an attack.
And they should be afraid.
Showtime.
Hitler will be tried by five justices:
Boris Federov of Russia,
Marion Jenneret of France,
Archibald Hollings of Great Britain,
Lorraine Collins of the U.S.,
and Chief Justice Wolfgang
Müeller of Germany,
whose objectivity has come into question
due to his alleged ties to the
Nazi regime as a law student.
Justice Müeller has not commented
- on the allegations.
- We are gathered here
for the International
War Crimes Tribunal
in the name of the people
in the criminal case
against Adolf Hitler.
Many have declared this case
to be the trial of the millennium.
I would offer that in this courtroom,
with this agent of the
court presiding over it,
this will be a trial like any other.
We are simply here to
establish this individual's
innocence or guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt
of the crimes of which he is accused.
Remember, my fellow
justices and I must arrive
at a unanimous decision before
the ruling is considered final.
Mr. Frankel, it's the
prosecution's case.
Though it is no exaggeration
to say that our case has been
a Herculean task
to tally the grave
offenses of the accused
Adolf Hitler.
The fact is
our case is a relatively simple one.
Given the work of our predecessors
and the precedent established
by the International
Military Tribunal at Nuremberg
and the subsequent trials in the period
immediately after the war.
It is therefore our contention
that we will present to you
an open and shut,
airtight case.
Thank you, Mr. Frankel.
The defense may now rise
and state their case.
Knock 'em dead.
Traitor. Traitor!
Traitor!
Traitor!
You're a Jew!
- How can you represent him?
- Order! There will be order.
Your Honors.
I, um
I stand before you
on behalf of my client, Adolf Hitler.
And, um
I
I am not here to argue that
my client is not a monster.
That he wasn't a dictator
or even a murderer.
I am here to defend his right
to a free and fair trial.
And I am here
to argue that Adolf Hitler
should be found not guilty
of the specific charges
he is accused of.
Thank you.
Let us proceed.
Please,
tell us your occupation, Mr. Speer,
between 1942 and 1945.
I served the Reich as minister
of armaments and war production.
This is an affidavit,
which you signed in Munich.
Would you please read the
highlighted section to the court.
"Hatred of the Jews was Hitler's
motor and central point.
Perhaps even the very
element that motivated him.
I was present at the
session of the Reichstag
of 30th January 1939,
when Hitler assured us
that in case of a war,
not the Germans,
but the Jews would be annihilated."
Tell me, when did you first learn
of Adolf Hitler's plan to exterminate
Europe's Jewish population?
Uh, Objection, Your Honors. Leading.
Objection sustained.
I'll move on.
In 1945, Hitler issued
his so-called Nero Decree.
What did this policy call for?
Anything of value within Reich territory
that could be used by the enemy
for the prosecution of the war
was to be destroyed.
And why did he issue this order?
Objection, Your Honors.
- Speculation.
- Sustained.
Your Honors, this witness
will have insight into
- the reasoning behind
- I've ruled.
Move along, Counsel.
Tell me.
When you last saw Adolf
Hitler in his bunker in Berlin,
what did he say to you?
He said
his biggest regret
was that he hadn't
finished off the Jews.
And why do you think that
was his biggest regret?
Objection, Your Honors.
Again, speculation.
- Objection sustained.
- Your Honors, it is perfectly within the
- I said sustained.
- perfectly within the prosecution's right
- to question the witness in this way!
- I said sustained, Counsel!
Mm, you did.
Bullshit.
Counsels, in our chambers.
Beg your pardon, but
are you gonna allow me
to get more than a question
in before sustaining
some errant, extralegal objection?
Are you finished?
Yes.
Your Honors.
I'd like to remind you, Counsel,
that the burden of proof
in this case falls on you.
You must firmly establish
Hitler's culpability
for crimes against peace, war crimes,
crimes against humanity, and conspiracy
to commit those foregoing crimes.
The charges that you brought.
Now, if you can do this,
beyond a reasonable doubt,
then I shall rule in your favor.
But if you can't, I shall rule in his.
It's as simple as that.
Am I understood, Mr. Frankel?
Yes.
Good.
Just doing my job.
Doing the right thing.
We're both Jewish, you
and I, and, yet, I suppose
we have a very different idea
of what the "right thing" is.
We now move to call to the stand
the survivors of the Holocaust.
The court must move past the abstraction
of genocide and hear it
from the victims themselves.
You may proceed, Mr. Frankel.
I now call to the stand
Mrs. Mindy Markowitz
of Brooklyn, New York,
by way of Kalisz, Poland.
Would you please state
your name for the court?
Mindy Markowitz.
Abraham Putnitsky.
Esther Schwartzman.
Vadoma Orsos.
Isaac Wolff.
Sara Weil.
Would you tell us where you were born?
Kalisz, Poland.
Berlin, Germany.
Ostrava, Czechoslovakia.
Zalaegerszeg, Hungary.
Vienna, Austria.
Lodz, Poland.
Could you please tell us
what happened to you
under the Nazi regime?
The gestapo
took us from
our small apartment
and forced us onto cattle cars.
- Objection, Your Honors.
- What?
On what grounds, Counselor?
I am deeply sorry for what Mrs
Markowitz has gone through, but I object
on the grounds of relevancy.
Your Honors.
At a time when the truth
about the Holocaust is frequently
and fervently denied
belittled and whitewashed
it is important to establish
the fundamental truth
that the Holocaust happened.
That it was a systematic
campaign of genocide
by actors and nations
many of whom wish it could
be written off as a fantasy
that resulted in the deaths
of 11 million men, women
and children.
And was conceived and executed
by the man who sits in that glass box.
If these survivors'
testimony of their experience
is not relevant, Your Honors
well, I don't know what is.
Overruled.
You may proceed,
Mrs. Markowitz.
There there were dozens
of us in the cattle car.
No room to sit or go to the bathroom.
Hardly any air.
The Nazi guard shot my
father right in front of me.
My mother, too.
And then he laughed.
"Left, right."
That's what the Nazi guard said.
They marched her right
into the gas chambers.
We saw the awful black smoke
coming from the crematoria.
She was seven years old.
My daughter.
My boyfriend and I were
forced to go on a death march.
Half-naked, emaciated.
Snow falling on our heads
as we heard the allied
gunfire from the distance.
The guards assigned me the role
of loading the dead
bodies into a mass grave.
I couldn't bear it,
so I ran away.
He was a beautiful boy.
Aaron.
When we got to the camps
the Nazis tried to separate us.
My husband, Murray
wouldn't let go of Aaron.
The Nazi guard
r-ripped Aaron
from Murray's arms
and shot my little boy
in the chest.
I miss him every day.
I miss my Murray, too.
Mein velt.
How life would have been different
if not for all this.
If not for you.
I have long dreamt of this day.
The day
when I would face you
- and say to you how I felt.
- Objection, Your Honors.
- Mrs. Markowitz!
- The day when I could finally be heard.
Mrs. Markowitz, you must
address your comments
to the bench, not to the defendant.
I was just a young girl before it all.
I liked to dance to Marlene,
read dime novels, study my engineering.
I was just a person.
We were just people.
And you tried to exterminate us.
To bid us extinct.
But now
you are in our arena.
- Your Honors
- Mrs. Markowitz!
A hall of law.
You tried to bury us.
But we were seeds.
And we grew back stronger.
And our branches
reach
toward the light of justice!
- Mrs. Markowitz
- We survived to tell the story.
And we will never,
ever let
the world forget.
Mrs. Markowitz, that is enough
That's it. All done.
He doesn't deserve
any more
of my breath
or thoughts
or words.
That is all, Your Honors.
Mr. Kramer?
We have no further
questions, Your Honors.
Nein!
Uh, just-just a moment with my client?
Cross-examine her.
She lied.
She didn't lie.
She is a liar.
And if they
these people lied about this
They didn't lie.
- Expose her.
- Mr. Kramer?
Just-just a moment, Your Honor?
They all lie.
They exaggerate. We are merely
moving them out of the country.
Your Honors, we have
no further questions.
Yes, we do.
We have many questions.
What are you doing?
- Question her.
- No.
Then you're fired.
You want to represent yourself?
Mr. Kramer.
Just-just a second, Judge.
You think the justices and the world
are not gonna see a raving lunatic?
I'm the only person standing in
the way of you getting hanged.
So, tell me so you want me to,
you want me to further the
big lie? You want me to
distort their words, try and poke holes
in their accurate recollections?
Then you can hang yourself.
What'll it be?
We have no questions, Your Honors.
Thank you, Mrs. Markowitz.
Court is now adjourned for the day.
The trial heads into
its third day today,
as prosecuting attorney Oliver Frankel
is set to deliver his
argument to the court.
This
is the man who started all of this.
In 1935,
the Nazis introduced racial laws which
divested Jews of their
rights of citizenship.
Who was chancellor of
Germany at that time?
Adolf Hitler.
In '41,
the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union.
When the mass murder of the Jews began,
who was chancellor of
Germany at that time?
Adolf Hitler.
In January '42, documents detail
the Wannsee Conference in
Berlin, where Hitler's scheme
the Final Solution
the permanent extermination
of the Jewish people
was coordinated and discussed
by his chief lieutenants
on his order.
The Earth is round.
The sky is blue.
And Adolf Hitler is responsible
for the murder
of 11 million Jews,
Romani, homosexuals,
political dissidents,
Communists, Poles,
and countless others
during his reign
of genocide.
The prosecution rests, Your Honors.
Hello?
Uh
is this Heinz Richter?
Who is this?
Don't hang up.
I'm here to tell you
that there is a woman.
A survivor who has found you.
And you would do well
to see that you find her first.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Who are you?
Her name is Ruth Heidelbaum.
2513 73rd Street.
Brooklyn.
Did you get that down?
- Who is this?!
- My honor is called loyalty.
Hello?
It's me, Ruthie.
Just checking on you.
I'm fine, Mindeleh.
Thank you.
We should talk tomorrow, though.
There's something
there's something I've found.
It's day five of the
trial of the century,
and Adolf Hitler's defense attorney
Benjamin Kramer began his
arguments in court today.
Reflecting a strategy that is
"Throw everything at the
wall and see what sticks".
On one point almost everyone
around the world is in accord
that Hitler's attorney has
exhausted all his options,
which leaves only one question
for Mr. Kramer's strategy.
Will Hitler take the stand?
Hey. What the fuck are you doing?
You can't put him on the fucking stand.
- Why not?
- "Why not?"
Because you're giving him free airtime.
To millions of people around the world.
Another another soapbox,
another bully pulpit,
another fucking TV show!
He has a right to a defense.
At what cost?
- Oliver
- He will proselytize.
He will lie.
He will deny, he will
indoctrinate, he will incite.
He will raise a new generation. No!
You cannot allow this.
You better do a good job in cross.
It's his right.
Do you want to be responsible ?
It's his right.
Even he has rights.
If he doesn't have
rights, then what are we?
Do you want to be
responsible for raising in
the next generation of neo-Nazis?
Of racists? Of
anti-Semites? Of mass murderers?
If you put him on the stand
if you allow this
what'll he be making of you?
But if I don't
what'll he be making of us?
This can't be a-a sham,
a-a a show trial,
a kangaroo court
If we don't give him a proper defense
- won't we be like him?
- No.
No.
You're a Jew, Ben.
- I know.
- Yeah.
You're a Jew.
You doing this?
This isn't just a reflection on you.
This is about all of us.
What does this say about us?
That's why I'm doing this.
Because of what it says about us.
Do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
So help me God.
You think it's a ploy?
Every television set in
the world will be on him.
He's up to something.
It's the guards in
here I'm worried about.
The MPs?
Our contacts have checked every one.
We've confirmed their
backgrounds, their credentials,
their identities.
We all just keep our eyes open.
The defense has had Adolf Hitler
on the stand for nearly
an hour, trying to create
distance between the
former chancellor of Germany
and his underlings.
Did you ever order the
deaths of six million Jews?
No.
Did you order the death of 6,000 Jews?
No.
Did you order the death of a single Jew?
I never ordered the killing of any Jew.
And no document or paper
will tell you otherwise.
You American killed
your Native Americans,
enslaved Africans.
You Brits, you put the Boers
into concentration camp.
And you Soviets killed
millions of people.
And you sit there
to judge me?
No further questions, Your Honors.
Your witness, Counsel.
You say you were following
German laws by the books?
That's right.
You say that you were merely
executing wartime duties
and abiding by wartime
international statutes?
That's right.
You say that you never
ordered the death of a single individual
during your reign as chancellor?
That's right.
I'm innocent.
Innocent!
Then if you broke no laws,
defied no conventions, why hide?
Why hide away in Argentina?
In a 200-hectare compound
with nowhere to go?
I wasn't hiding.
Ah, then then, then
what were you doing?
Vacationing.
"Vacationing"?
For 30 years?
I earned it.
I was in my summer home
in Argentina, enjoying the sun
relaxing and writing
a new chapter for my memoirs.
And working on a a return.
A return to what?
Politics.
You think
you would've been welcomed back?
To the world stage?
Everybody likes a good
comeback story, no?
You say you based your ideology
on the notion of the master race.
Could you tell me what
this means, please?
Objection, Your Honors. Relevancy.
All of Hitler's actions were
based on a single ideology.
And at the core of that ideology
was the lie of the master race.
To help establish criminality,
it is important to establish intent!
Tread carefully, Mr. Frankel.
So, again, this theory
of the master race, could
you tell us what this means?
This lie?
It's not a theory.
It's a fact.
And yet you're here.
In a prison jumpsuit and shackles.
Strange for a king, no?
Because of the Jewish conspiracy.
Ah, "the Jewish conspiracy."
- The age-old lie.
- Objection.
- Overruled.
- So you're here because of the Jews?
Like me? How's that?
Because of your lies.
Lies. Lies about what?
About the nature of my involvement.
So you were not involved
in the extermination of millions of men,
women, children
and infants?
Of course not.
Won't your acolytes be
disappointed to hear that?
There are many racists and bigots
out there, sir, who
still worship you, sir.
Precisely because you did architect
the genocide of six million Jews,
hundreds of thousands of Romani
homosexuals
and others.
Are you saying that they
are wrong to worship you?
Well, they're not wrong.
I am a man of many accomplishments.
Of reformation and revolution.
Of world order.
World order.
So you are responsible
for the Holocaust?
I, um
So they are wrong to idolize you?
- No, they're
- Well, which is it?! Either you
deny your participation
in the Holocaust or
you take pride in your
extermination of millions of people.
It cannot be both.
This is what you do, you Jews.
You twist words.
You are responsible for
what happened to you.
Oh, of course we are. Right.
We-We're responsible for everything.
For-for the plague.
And earthquakes.
The Great Depression.
All the wars in the world.
Disease and famine.
Pain and misery.
And all the evil.
And all the darkness in the world,
which you have created.
You villains!
You vermin! You are scum!
Is this why you were in hiding?
- I wasn't hiding
- 'Cause you're a rambling loon!
A late-night show punch line!
A drug addict who's manic and lame
and hateful and pathetic and wrong!
Who used the basest tool of all, fear,
to demonize and turn
ignorant, ignorant people
against their fellow countrymen
all to hold onto power?!
- Objection.
- Sustained. Counsel?
I am still the leader of the party.
What party? The Nazi
party no longer exists.
I am the head of the Reich!
West Germany's a full-fledged democracy!
You think I speak of Germany?
I am the leader of a movement
that has roots in
people's heart and minds,
and in their blood and soil.
Of course, I gave the order!
- Your Honors? My client has completely
- Of course!
- I had the visions
- He admitted it!
- Just a moment, Your Honors!
- Of course, it's me!
There will be order.
And my people
will still follow me.
- You hear me?
- I do.
You hear me?!
I do.
And we will be there every minute
of every day to combat it.
We know that it won't go away.
We know that hatred
and ignorance and fear will always be
a part of our collective society.
But you, you won't, sir.
One day they will find a new idol.
A new, uh, fraud.
Born out of some new means
of mass communication.
But peddling the same old lies.
Of bogeymen.
And dying cultures and deep states.
And we will counter him
too.
No further questions, Your Honors.
After two days of deliberation,
the verdict is in.
The world waits
nervously as the justices
will render their
decision this afternoon.
My fellow justices and I have listened
carefully to the testimony and arguments
put before the court,
and we have examined
all of the documents and evidence.
The marshal will produce
the defendant before the tribunal.
Adolf Hitler
on the count of
crimes against peace,
the tribunal finds you
guilty as charged.
On the count of war crimes: guilty.
On the count of crimes
against humanity: guilty.
On the count of common plan
or conspiracy to
commit murder guilty.
Adolf Hitler,
you are hereby sentenced
to lifetime imprisonment
without the possibility of parole.
Adolf Hitler has been
found guilty on all counts.
Hey, hey, hey
Okay, let's go.
What's wrong?
Shit!
Medic!
Damnit!
We need an ambulance.
Hey! We need help! Quick!
He's having a heart attack!
They're saying he had a heart attack!
They're taking him to a hospital now!
Yes
Go. We got to go.
We got to go. He's up to something.
Seven minutes from
Universität München.
Six minutes from Universität München.
Six minutes away.
When we get to the hospital,
I'll secure his room.
You all take the perimeter.
That's if he's going to the hospital.
Who has an extra gun for me?
Me.
Fucking bunch of Eagle Scouts.
I love it.
- Step on it!
- Go, go, go, go!
They're getting away! Go!
Hang on.
Where are you going?!
The hell are you doing?!
The hospital's that way!
Heil Hitler.
Ten seconds.
Now! Now! Now!
Now!
Hold on!
Joe!
We must hurry, Mein Führer.
Watch your step.
It was about time.
Hello, my love.
And bravo to you.
It was my honor to save him.
Uh, you weren't quite
saving him, though.
What is going on?
What an embarrassment, what
you did in that courtroom.
Broadcast to the whole world.
That lawyer was right.
You looked like
the pathetic, hateful,
unimaginative loon that you are.
No.
Succession starts now, my darling.
I take the crown.
I lead.
Seeing as you have
allowed yourself to be captured, though,
we can't risk disappearing you again.
We kill you here,
burn your body, and pretend you have
gloriously escaped to
an unknown location.
Never to be seen or caught again.
There is a problem.
You are not a leader.
I've saved your hide twice now.
I am more of a leader
than you ever were.
Do it!
This cause doesn't respond
well to queens, unfortunately.
But me?
I'm a leader.
I'm the future.
It's time to go.
What do you want?
I want you to anoint me.
People like a clear line of succession.
I amassed an army while
I was in prison. Come on.
These are men who know
how to fight, to kill.
I can lead them.
They're getting us out of here.
A helicopter's on its way.
Get down! Down!
Travis!
Travis! Where are you?!
Look at me. Look at me!
Jonah!
Put your fucking guns down! Now!
On the ground!
Get on the fucking ground!
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
You got to breathe, Jonah. Hold on.
Get me that fucking ambulance!
Get me an ambulance now!
Ner zeh ani madliq
l'illui nishmat
Re'ut bat Avraham.
Amen.
I wish I knew her.
The real her, you know?
You know the real her, Jonah.
- No. No, I didn't.
- Oh, yes.
Not the
one who hunted Nazis.
Not the vigilante.
Not the woman before
everything happened.
But you.
You knew all those parts of her.
Well, Jonah, I've been
on this Earth many years.
You know, I have seen the
dimensions of human beings.
I've known the doubles
and the doppelgängers.
Angels and monsters, both.
But above all else
there's one true self.
Each of us chooses
who we show that self to.
And Ruth
chose you.
Only you, Jonah
saw the real her.
The way she looked at the moon
like it was her friend who
abandoned her all those years ago.
She always feared that
she would forget her mother's face.
I remember she wished she was
not only known as a survivor.
But she was grateful
that, that-that she did.
She was always grateful.
- Mm.
- So much more to her.
She
Every time she laughed, she would wink.
She also loved to wish on eyelashes.
She loved that.
How wonderful
and liberating for her
that she had you.
She had you to be there.
And be seen by.
The way you saw her
As a human being.
And isn't that what we all want?
Hmm?
That think as we may
otherwise
maybe that's our real need.
Our reward for being
in this absurd life.
To be seen.
How simple.
What else is there
than being seen?
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm sorry.
Come on, love, we're going to be late.
Says the woman whose been
in the shower for an hour.
Yeah?
Bonjour, Madame Morris,
I have a Congresswoman
Handelman for you.
Agent Morris.
Liz.
It's been a long time.
A long road.
But I'm calling to say good work.
What?
On bringing Hitler to justice.
We would like to honor you
with the Congressional Gold Medal.
I was calling to tell you the good news.
It was me.
I shot him. I shot Prentz. It was me.
We can't wait to honor you in D.C.
You're a hero, Millie.
The world needs heroes.
Oh, hey.
Come on, love. We can't be late.
Hmm?
Mazel tov!
Love ♪
Love will keep us together ♪
I am shocked that you
didn't bring a plus one.
Of course I did.
Please tell me you
don't take that thing
Everywhere I go.
Everywhere.
God, you're an idiot.
An Academy Award-winning idiot.
You heard anything from Joe?
Uh, no.
He left a message. He sounded happy.
I hope he's good.
Wherever he is.
I'm glad you're good, Rox.
I'm glad you're good, too.
I will, I will, I will ♪
- Cheers, friend.
- Cheers.
Be there to share forever ♪
How do you drink these?
Love will keep us together ♪
I am not dancing alone.
- You're coming with me.
- All right.
- Who is that? Hi.
- We're all coming with you.
- This is Oscar.
- Oh, oh?
He's excited to hit the dance floor.
Here you go, sir.
'Cause I really love you ♪
Stop, I've been thinking of you ♪
Hey.
Congrats.
Yeah, just
getting ready for her mom's toast.
Look, she would be, um
proud.
Of who you became.
Of who you are.
Mm.
I've known a lot of monsters, Jonah.
You're not one of them.
Neither are you, Millie.
I hope you know that.
'Cause I really love you ♪
Oy! Hubby.
You. Me. Dance floor.
- Now.
- All right.
Dinner, number 45278.
45278?
Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know who I am?
Hey, love.
How was Véronique's?
Oh, Véronique was a big
ole French twat as usual.
God, you really get bang for
your buck here, don't you?
We're living in a fucking
shoebox in New York.
You know, Clara's gonna be home soon.
Yes, about 14 minutes away, I'd say.
Last I spied her, she was
still on Rue Saint-Dominique.
I'm out of the game, Harriet.
I know.
Unfortunately, I do know this.
I just came to give you
a little wedding gift.
Huh, I do love a wedding gift, open it.
Go on.
You and Millie already got us
a horrendous cheese platter.
Well, this one's just from
me. Millie wouldn't approve.
I found it when I was at Chava's.
Clearing out her things.
What is this?
They're phone records.
From Heinz Richter's
Red Balloon Toy Shop.
June 17, 1977.
Day my safta was killed?
At 9:17 p.m., just a couple of hours
before Ruth was murdered,
a call came into the toy shop
from 212-073-4309.
The number that belonged
to the residence of
Meyer Offerman.
Meyer called Richter.
Meyer gave the order.
My deepest sorrows
about your grandmother.
Ruth had discovered Meyer was The Wolf.
She figured it out.
But before she could act
he got to her.
Evil doesn't rest, Jonah.
Evil doesn't retire.
So why should we?
How can we?
We tell the stories of the
past to change our future.
Anyway, do give my best to Clara. Hmm.
Wishing you both the happiest
of ever fucking afters.
Miami was a nice little
surprise for a honeymoon.
You know, I thought it'd
be a good change of pace.
What?
I see them in you.
Your safta. Chava.
I see you.
And I love what I see.
To new beginnings.
L'chaim.
- Here you are, sir.
- Danke.
