ACT 2: In our previous episode, the rivalry between Captain Tibor and Dov over Inga's love intensified, culminating in a brutal fight that Dov emerged victorious, leaving the Captain humiliated in front of his men. Meanwhile, Avrum's oldest daughter Devorah has made a new friend, single mother Clara, who's offered Devorah a babysitting job, while Eden, who faced discrimination in the school band due to their Jewish heritage, is being tutored by family friend Fenric in hopes of securing a spot at the prestigious Franz Liszt school of music in Budapest for a special summer program. And lastly, Avrum and his eldest son, Isaac, visit Avrum's father, Moshe, when Isaac makes a shocking discovery — the Hungarian police are about to forcefully enter Moshe's house. ____ LOVE & DARKNESS is a multi-generational saga tracking the triumphs and tragedies of a large, powerful Hungarian Jewish family during WWII. Based on an incredible true story. A Hungarian Rabbi, Avrum Katz, and his family face a relentless storm of anti-Semitic oppression in 1941 Hungary. When their lives are shattered by a secret revealed and a shocking act of violence, they're thrust into a world of dark secrets and impossible choices. As they struggle for survival on the brutal frontlines of war, 'Love & Darkness' is an epic tale of family, sacrifice, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. ____ Presented by Nomono and recorded exclusively with Nomono Sound Capsules.

[4:41] Speaker 2: out from the back room, putting on his apron Vulf
[4:44] Speaker 2: relaxes with his feet up on a chair at a
[4:46] Speaker 2: little corner table, reading the newspaper. A number of customers
[4:50] Speaker 2: gather at the door, waiting eagerly for the shop to open.
[4:53] Speaker 3: The line's already forming. Don't help, can a pike?
[4:56] Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Uncle your Houda nods?

[5:26] Speaker 11: Just courting.
[5:28] Speaker 12: Huh.
[5:29] Speaker 2: Doe shoots him a look. Wulf shrugs. Isaac stays on point.
[5:34] Speaker 3: Don't look at the world as it should be, brother,
[5:36] Speaker 3: But as it is to make her bride and the
[5:39] Speaker 3: mother is a sin against God. Papa must turn his
[5:42] Speaker 3: back on you as if you were dead to him.
[5:45] Speaker 13: You know this, Yes, I remember the speech he gave
[5:49] Speaker 13: all of us the first day of school.

[6:09] Speaker 3: No, yes, And as an adult, you're still a Jew
[6:11] Speaker 3: and she's still one of them. Your children will never
[6:15] Speaker 3: know their grandfather. Is that a life you wish for
[6:18] Speaker 3: your sons? For yourself? A life bereft of family?
[6:23] Speaker 10: Sounds like it's not only Papa will turn his back
[6:26] Speaker 10: on me.
[6:26] Speaker 3: It's a sin against God. Nothing good will come from this.
[6:32] Speaker 3: I won't abandon you, brother, said the brother who can't
[6:35] Speaker 3: wait to leave home.
[6:36] Speaker 2: The moment he arrives, Wolf nods this away.
[6:39] Speaker 3: Isaac.
[6:39] Speaker 11: I'm sorry your marriage was arranged and you've never loved
[6:42] Speaker 11: by choice.
[6:43] Speaker 10: If you did, you might understand how I feel.
[6:46] Speaker 3: It also might help to remove that large stick from
[6:48] Speaker 3: up your ass.
[6:49] Speaker 2: Both exchanges a glance with Isaac. He's right. Dove takes
[6:54] Speaker 2: a beat that approaches Uncle.
[6:55] Speaker 10: Yehuda, Uncle m h you ordered to claim.
[7:02] Speaker 11: Silence is wisdom?
[7:04] Speaker 2: Open up, Isaac unlocks the front door. Customers rush the counter,
[7:09] Speaker 2: yelling their order. Two drops dover trees that hands over
[7:12] Speaker 2: the order. The customer presents money, no pay. At the register,
[7:17] Speaker 2: Isaac sees the midwife nurse Rosa enter Rosa.
[7:21] Speaker 12: Did Yannas sleep through the night?
[7:23] Speaker 3: Has did his mother? You ordered a leg of lamb.
[7:26] Speaker 2: For rosen nods. Uncle Uhuda carries over a large leg
[7:29] Speaker 2: of lamb wrapped in brown butcher's paper and hands it
[7:32] Speaker 2: to Isaac.
[7:33] Speaker 11: This is a beautiful cut, great for stewart.
[7:36] Speaker 3: Is Georgie outside with the car.
[7:38] Speaker 2: Rosen nods hands Isaac money.
[7:40] Speaker 3: No, no, no, Rosa, you never pick. I'll carry it up
[7:42] Speaker 3: for you.
[7:43] Speaker 2: Rosa exits with Isaac behind her exterior Cat's Brothers butcher shop. Morning.
[7:49] Speaker 2: Rosa steps up onto the horse drawn cart island by
[7:52] Speaker 2: her husband, Georgie forties, a simple farm hand who married
[7:56] Speaker 2: way up. Isaac places a leg of lamb in the
[7:59] Speaker 2: cart's and bids them farewell when they're a good distance away.
[8:04] Speaker 3: Why must we always buy from them?
[8:07] Speaker 12: Don't be a fool?
[8:08] Speaker 15: They have the best meet in three counties.
[8:11] Speaker 2: Interior, Inga's bedroom, afternoon, the heavy chuck a chuck a
[8:15] Speaker 2: chuck of a sewing machine. Inga's having a dress. Her father, forties,
[8:20] Speaker 2: last night's booze, still on his breath, enters. She stops
[8:23] Speaker 2: sewing mid stitch. There's a man here to see you
[8:27] Speaker 2: off Inga's nervous look. Could it be dove? Interior kitchen.
[8:32] Speaker 2: A few minutes later, Inga enters the kitchen behind her
[8:35] Speaker 2: father to discover it's not dove, But Captain T Boar, I.
[8:39] Speaker 16: Wanted to confirm with my own eyes that you arrived
[8:42] Speaker 16: home safe last night.

[8:46] Speaker 2: boozy end the.

[8:53] Speaker 2: Inga's father nods Captain T Boar and inga walk outside
[8:58] Speaker 2: exterior Inga's house continuous as they edited the cottage Ingle
[9:02] Speaker 2: whips around furious.
[9:04] Speaker 17: Last night was a shameful display.
[9:06] Speaker 16: What lies you told lies, which would have been the
[9:09] Speaker 16: truth had your father known the truth.
[9:12] Speaker 17: What my father knows is my business state the purpose
[9:15] Speaker 17: of your visit Tibor. I'm sick of your games.
[9:17] Speaker 7: As I said, I wanted to make sure you arrived
[9:19] Speaker 7: home safe.
[9:20] Speaker 17: Your concern is touching, but I am not your concern.
[9:24] Speaker 16: You know my feelings go beyond concern.
[9:27] Speaker 17: And you know I'm in love with someone else, which.
[9:30] Speaker 2: Strikes Captain t Wore like a dagger in the heart.
[9:34] Speaker 16: You talk of this love as if it has any
[9:36] Speaker 16: hope of a future.
[9:37] Speaker 7: They're Jews.
[9:39] Speaker 16: They'll never accept you, and I can offer you a
[9:42] Speaker 16: better life.
[9:42] Speaker 17: Please stop.
[9:43] Speaker 16: In two years, I'll make lieutenant on a lieutenant's wage.
[9:46] Speaker 16: I'll purchase a cottage twice the size of your father's.
[9:49] Speaker 17: In two years, I'll be working in a hospital with
[9:51] Speaker 17: no desire for farm life, Tivor. I'm only a shadow
[9:55] Speaker 17: of what you'd wish for in a wife.
[9:59] Speaker 7: So Dove Cats wins your heart.
[10:03] Speaker 17: My heart is not a prize to be won.
[10:06] Speaker 2: Captain T Boar aggressively steps towards her, invading her personal space,
[10:10] Speaker 2: making her nervous.
[10:13] Speaker 3: Of course it is.
[10:15] Speaker 2: Captain T. Boar heads for his car. Ingle walks over
[10:18] Speaker 2: to the mailbox, withdrawing a stack of letters as she
[10:22] Speaker 2: thumbs through her hands. Tremble exterior Hungarian countryside evening. Rays
[10:28] Speaker 2: of golden sunlight accent an isolated meadow of lush green
[10:33] Speaker 2: somewhere in the Hungarian countryside. Over this, in the tall grass,
[10:37] Speaker 2: we hear the moans of passionate sex. The camera finds
[10:41] Speaker 2: Dove in inga, their bodies intertwined and writhing under a blanket.
[10:46] Speaker 2: After climax, they settle into a post sex calm INGA
[10:51] Speaker 2: lays her head on his chest, and they're two stared
[10:53] Speaker 2: into each other's eyes. After a long silence, you sin.
[10:59] Speaker 10: Reconsidering T.
[11:00] Speaker 11: Boar's offer.
[11:02] Speaker 17: Only the tone in which it was presented.
[11:05] Speaker 12: He frightens me.
[11:06] Speaker 2: Dove sighs, puffs out his chest.
[11:09] Speaker 17: Not enough for you to confront him. He knows I'm yours.
[11:12] Speaker 10: The matter settled, and your father how long before that
[11:18] Speaker 10: matters settled?
[11:19] Speaker 17: My father is an old magyarra's deep opinions of Jews.
[11:24] Speaker 17: I'll tell him when you tell me that this is forever.
[11:29] Speaker 2: Dove leans in and kisses her passionately, desperately as they
[11:34] Speaker 2: roll over into each other's arms. Interior kitchen Cat's family home,
[11:39] Speaker 2: late night. Sorry, he's cleaning the dinner plates. Have him enters,
[11:43] Speaker 2: tosses down his father's letter on the kitchen table.
[11:47] Speaker 11: Mosha invited me to Budapest.
[11:50] Speaker 12: Will you go?
[11:51] Speaker 6: No?
[11:53] Speaker 11: What needed to be said was said years ago.
[11:55] Speaker 18: Boy Am, your mother was sick, you yourself said. At
[11:59] Speaker 18: many times she'd have conversations with the walls or sleep
[12:02] Speaker 18: in the basement for days. It was the sickness that
[12:06] Speaker 18: put the gun in her hand, not your father.
[12:09] Speaker 11: But it was his infidelity that pulled the trigger.
[12:12] Speaker 18: And now he seeks your forgiveness, as you might one
[12:16] Speaker 18: day seek from Dove if you turn your back on him.
[12:20] Speaker 11: Perhaps, but Mosha doesn't only seek forgiveness in his letter,
[12:26] Speaker 11: he seeks advice.
[12:28] Speaker 2: The clop and winnie of a horse approaching. Avram's face
[12:31] Speaker 2: turns pale as he sees through the window. It's Dove, sorry,
[12:35] Speaker 2: reads him. Avram steals himself for what must be done.
[12:39] Speaker 11: Am no, I'm a rabbi. Sorry, I can't have him
[12:43] Speaker 11: in my house.
[12:44] Speaker 2: Interior Cat's Family Barn. A few moments later, Dove ties
[12:49] Speaker 2: down the horse's reins and tends to it. After a beat,
[12:52] Speaker 2: he realizes there's someone else in the barn with him.
[12:55] Speaker 2: Dove slowly turns around to find Avram standing there, his
[12:58] Speaker 2: face inscrutable. Dove knows what's coming next, but Avram struggles
[13:04] Speaker 2: to find the right words. A long beat of silence
[13:07] Speaker 2: broken by.
[13:09] Speaker 10: I intend to marry her.
[13:10] Speaker 7: Papa. I'm sorry.
[13:11] Speaker 11: I made beef for supper. The plate's still warm.
[13:16] Speaker 2: If you hurry, Avrom quickly retreats out of the barn.
[13:19] Speaker 2: Dove opens his mouth to speak, but then closes it wordlessly.
[13:25] Speaker 2: Exterior Cat's Family Barn. Continuously, Avrim exits, looks up to heaven,
[13:30] Speaker 2: eyes tearing forgive me.
[13:35] Speaker 11: He's my son.
[13:36] Speaker 2: Interior Hallway Christian High School, afternoon. In between classes, students
[13:42] Speaker 2: hurry to class pick up. Eden shallows strap to her back,
[13:46] Speaker 2: briskly walking past Lacey and her friends, who commiserate in
[13:49] Speaker 2: front of the orchestra room. Lacey scrutinizes Eden from head
[13:53] Speaker 2: to toe and notices something that disturbs her. She and
[13:57] Speaker 2: Eden are wearing the same red socks with yellow flowers
[14:01] Speaker 2: as part of their skirt outfits. Eden enters the orchestra class.
[14:06] Speaker 2: Interior orchestra room, Christian High School continues. The students slowly
[14:11] Speaker 2: trickle in and take their seats.
[14:13] Speaker 1: Such lesarg from aspiring musicians, take your seats.
[14:19] Speaker 2: The students uncase their instruments.
[14:21] Speaker 1: A debate rages in the high holds about Bach's sweets.
[14:27] Speaker 1: Is it the substance of his heart's passion or the
[14:30] Speaker 1: pure calculations from the rhythms of a didactic mathematician?
[14:35] Speaker 7: No dead hands today box garrant in C major.
[14:42] Speaker 2: Frank needs a complicated piece in with the piano. Then
[14:45] Speaker 2: the students follow, sounding marvelous angle on Lacy blowing into
[14:50] Speaker 2: her flute. Distracted, she repeatedly peers over to Ed, examining
[14:55] Speaker 2: her socks to confirm they are indeed the same exact there,
[15:00] Speaker 2: How could she have the same pair of socks as
[15:02] Speaker 2: a jew. Her shoulder takes note of Lacey's deficiency in
[15:06] Speaker 2: concentration and rumbles.
[15:08] Speaker 7: Over pay attention flutes enough.
[15:11] Speaker 2: The music ties out.
[15:13] Speaker 7: Lacy, you're overhanging the keys.
[15:17] Speaker 8: I wasn't, hair teacher.
[15:19] Speaker 7: So my ears deceive me. Perhaps I am mistaken.
[15:24] Speaker 1: Perhaps you are a prodigy equal to Lily Bollinger, or
[15:28] Speaker 1: believe me or franz List himself.
[15:31] Speaker 2: Lacey shakes her head.
[15:32] Speaker 7: No stead.
[15:34] Speaker 2: Lacey nervously rises out of her chair.
[15:38] Speaker 1: If the emissary from frange List were here in this
[15:41] Speaker 1: very room, would he select.
[15:44] Speaker 2: You for a scholarship? No, hair teacher, no.
[15:50] Speaker 7: Eden cats. Based on your performance, would you be chosen?
[15:56] Speaker 2: I can only hope, hair teacher minor shuckles from the
[15:59] Speaker 2: other side. Uts be close, blurts like they pick a jew.
[16:05] Speaker 1: More inward timbre of the D string and almost avoiding
[16:09] Speaker 1: the open a. Today your play was precise and unerring.
[16:15] Speaker 2: Then hair Shulder maneuvers her face to face with Lacey.
[16:18] Speaker 7: Extend your palms face down.
[16:21] Speaker 2: Lacey slowly does this. Frank realizes hair Shoulder's intentions, stands defiantly.
[16:27] Speaker 1: Hair teacher, sit down, hair Farink, You're only here at
[16:31] Speaker 1: my whimen.
[16:32] Speaker 2: Farank deflats into his chair. Hair Shulner turns to Eden,
[16:36] Speaker 2: hands her the conductor's were.
[16:37] Speaker 1: Tom ten wraps on the knuckles, a lesson she'll not
[16:41] Speaker 1: soon forget coming from you.
[16:43] Speaker 2: Eden's frozen strike Now.
[16:47] Speaker 17: Look they're wearing the same socks.
[16:49] Speaker 2: The students check the confirm.
[16:51] Speaker 7: Enough chatterboxing, Eden commence.
[16:55] Speaker 2: Eden tears up, looks to Farank, who nads his approval.
[17:00] Speaker 2: Eden strikes Lacey's knuckles once, twice a third time, as
[17:06] Speaker 2: Lacey's eyes register the pain harder. Eden raises the baton
[17:10] Speaker 2: above her head, ready to pounce, but then freezes.
[17:16] Speaker 7: I cannot do it, hair teacher, complete the punishment or
[17:20] Speaker 7: be expelled.
[17:22] Speaker 2: Eden considers this, but then lowers the baton and tosses
[17:25] Speaker 2: it on the desk in front of her.
[17:27] Speaker 1: Miscats, you are dismissed for the remainder of the semester.
[17:34] Speaker 5: Please, hair teacher, what about my audition?
[17:36] Speaker 1: Auditions are held for students enrolled an orchestra. Miklos seventeen
[17:42] Speaker 1: lashes an additional ten for the jois's disobedience.
[17:47] Speaker 7: Count aloud, dude.
[17:49] Speaker 2: He glos, rises, wipes the baton, and strikes Lacey mercilessly.
[17:53] Speaker 2: One two, three haunting shack of the baton connected over
[18:00] Speaker 2: Lacey's knuckles as all we years. Eden packs up her
[18:03] Speaker 2: chillo Before Eaton exits, Lacey glaars daggers at her an
[18:09] Speaker 2: exterior alley next to the school. Afternoon, Eden fits on

[18:16] Speaker 2: bigger hassle pedestrians for a handout. F Rank enters the
[18:20] Speaker 2: alley sits down next to her.
[18:23] Speaker 9: Seven more taps is all it took yesterday. She made
[18:28] Speaker 9: a comment, as she always does in that moment, when
[18:33] Speaker 9: I stopped hitting her, it wasn't because I was afraid
[18:37] Speaker 9: of hurting her. It was because I was afraid of
[18:41] Speaker 9: how much I wanted to, which.
[18:44] Speaker 4: Makes what you've done all the more brave.
[18:46] Speaker 9: No, I'm a weak, sentimental girl, and the world tramples us.

[18:59] Speaker 2: As he considers, he has a Eureka moment.
[19:02] Speaker 4: There still may be a way for you to audition.
[19:05] Speaker 2: Eden turns to him in disbelief.
[19:08] Speaker 4: As her schounder's assistant, I'll have contact with the emissary
[19:11] Speaker 4: once he's in town. I could tell him your story
[19:15] Speaker 4: and if he agrees, arrange a private concert to hear

[19:24] Speaker 4: all that can ever know.
[19:25] Speaker 5: I won't tell a soul good.
[19:28] Speaker 4: You'll need to practice every day my house after school.
[19:34] Speaker 4: Branco would love to hear you play.
[19:37] Speaker 5: Why risk your position with her Schuner just to help me?
[19:42] Speaker 4: All people have dreams, but few possess the gifts to
[19:46] Speaker 4: achieve them. You do, and I don't wish to see
[19:51] Speaker 4: you waste it becoming the most celebrated teacher's assistant in town.
[19:57] Speaker 2: And we realize for Rank doesn't want Eden and Up
[20:00] Speaker 2: like him. Interior Cat's brothers butcher shop. Late afternoon. Business
[20:05] Speaker 2: is winding down. Uncle Juhudah, Isaac and Dove begin cleaning up.
[20:11] Speaker 2: Here we go again, Gondo Marie, Gondo Marie, is that right?
[20:17] Speaker 2: Thank you? Ah? Business is winding down, Uncle ju Hudah,

[20:33] Speaker 11: Down with the flute.
[20:34] Speaker 13: Many of his friends wives were struck with an illness.

[20:41] Speaker 2: Uncle ju Hudah's from them Ah.

[20:58] Speaker 13: since he was released from the on to Marie.
[21:00] Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Uncle Yehudah smirks. Isaac covers.
[21:07] Speaker 3: They ask how she's feeling still with a fever and
[21:11] Speaker 3: sore throat. My mother's matzabel soup is the perfect cule.
[21:15] Speaker 3: Then I'll take a leader.
[21:16] Speaker 2: Isaac fills a container of soup from a heated chafing
[21:19] Speaker 2: dish and hands it to Alaric. Alaric pulls out money
[21:22] Speaker 2: for recompense pay at the register. Alaric turns, but then stops,
[21:28] Speaker 2: his face filling with dread, something terrible weighing on his mind.
[21:33] Speaker 7: Isaac, I'm sorry.
[21:36] Speaker 2: At that moment, a caravan of police cars lumber to
[21:39] Speaker 2: a halt in front of the shop. Stepping from the
[21:42] Speaker 2: lead vehicle, Captain t Boar, Isaac Dove, and Uncle Yehudax
[21:47] Speaker 2: change oneasy looks Tea Boar. Isaac whips a furious glance
[21:52] Speaker 2: to Alaric as Captain Teboar enters air thickening. Captain Teboar turns.
[21:56] Speaker 7: To Isaac step out from behind the counter old front.
[22:00] Speaker 2: Isaac wrily does this. Captain Tebore presents him with an
[22:03] Speaker 2: official looking document displaying state seals.
[22:07] Speaker 16: This shop's being closed until further notice.
[22:11] Speaker 3: The Office of the Health Inspector needs proof we're conforming
[22:14] Speaker 3: with the new animal's safety regulations.
[22:17] Speaker 16: There have been rumors of code violations. Cost Root law
[22:21] Speaker 16: is not Hungarian law.
[22:24] Speaker 2: Uncle Yehuda comes from around the counter. Dove remains silent,
[22:27] Speaker 2: simply staring down Captain Tebore.
[22:30] Speaker 16: If you're found serving any beef for poultry on the
[22:32] Speaker 16: premises until the Health Department inspects you, you're subject to
[22:37] Speaker 16: arrest and.
[22:38] Speaker 2: Forfeiture of property. Captain fourteen years. We've been in operation,
[22:42] Speaker 2: no violations. Then you should have nothing to fear.
[22:46] Speaker 7: An inspector will contact you within the week.
[22:49] Speaker 2: Captain t Boar shoots Dove a glance. The glance is
[22:53] Speaker 2: just smug enough to allow Dove insight into the true
[22:55] Speaker 2: purpose of the shop closing payback for Doe's relationship with Inga.
[23:01] Speaker 2: Captain t Bour and Officer Alaric exit. Alaric still holding
[23:05] Speaker 2: the soup, leaving Uncle Yehudah, Dove and Isaac to confer.
[23:09] Speaker 3: So the shop's closed for a few weeks until inspector
[23:12] Speaker 3: certifies our compliance.
[23:14] Speaker 11: Don't be a fool.
[23:16] Speaker 2: No inspector will ever come. As Isaac considers this. Dove's
[23:21] Speaker 2: blood boils until he can no longer ignore his rage
[23:25] Speaker 2: and charges out of the shop in pursuit of Captain
[23:27] Speaker 2: t Boar. Exterior Cat's brothers butcher shop continuous As Captain

[23:43] Speaker 3: The shop, come back inside.
[23:45] Speaker 2: Brother Dove ignores him, steps closer to the captain.
[23:48] Speaker 16: Feel free to protest through official channel's young cats.
[23:52] Speaker 13: This isn't about Hungarian law or how we slaughter our
[23:55] Speaker 13: fucking cows.
[23:57] Speaker 11: This is about her.
[23:58] Speaker 2: Rapt Captain t Bog explodes the sucker punch to Dove's chin,
[24:02] Speaker 2: spiraling into the ground. Uncle Yuhudah and Isaac jump too,
[24:07] Speaker 2: but t Boar's officers, including Alaric, draw their revolves, keeping
[24:10] Speaker 2: him at day.
[24:11] Speaker 7: He speaks to man's words. Isaac let him accept a
[24:14] Speaker 7: man's beating.
[24:15] Speaker 2: Captain t Boar gut kicks door, popping the very air
[24:19] Speaker 2: out of his lungs. Dove struggles to draw breath. Dove
[24:23] Speaker 2: stay down, but Dove's tough defially spans up, singing tea
[24:27] Speaker 2: Boar for round two, Isaac Uncle Uhudah, and a growing
[24:31] Speaker 2: crod of townsfolk gasp knowing Doves over man at a
[24:37] Speaker 2: shot to the abduct. Isaac winces as Doves back on
[24:40] Speaker 2: the ground. Face swelling, Dove desperately crawls for the safety
[24:44] Speaker 2: of the butcher's shop.
[24:45] Speaker 3: The fight's over. Captain the boys learned his lesson.
[24:49] Speaker 2: Captain t Boar yanks Dove up by the hair, whispers
[24:52] Speaker 2: in his ear. She knows how to end this. The
[24:56] Speaker 2: subtexts give up seeing inger, you never love you. Captain
[25:05] Speaker 2: T Boar flattens his node with another hammering right back
[25:08] Speaker 2: on the ground, Dove continues crawling toward the butcher shop,
[25:11] Speaker 2: determined to reach the porch.
[25:14] Speaker 3: His scurries away like a rat.
[25:17] Speaker 1: I thought you Cat's boys were made of sterner stock.
[25:21] Speaker 2: But Dove wasn't crawling to escape. He was crawling to
[25:24] Speaker 2: find a weapon. Dove slowly rises to his feet, Touching
[25:28] Speaker 2: a piece of firewood, he swings for dear life, slamming
[25:32] Speaker 2: Captain Tbore across his face, dropping him to the ground.
[25:36] Speaker 2: Dove tosses the firewood, jumps on top of tea board
[25:39] Speaker 2: pummeling him with rights and lefts. The fight devolves from
[25:43] Speaker 2: punches to each man attempting to choke out the other.
[25:46] Speaker 2: The police officers run over to cry Dove off of
[25:48] Speaker 2: their captain. Isaac can Uncle, you who the help? Grabbing
[25:52] Speaker 2: hold of Dove, hitting his arms back and dragging him away.
[25:56] Speaker 2: Oh Sir Alaric helps Captain t Boar to his feet.
[26:00] Speaker 7: Arrest him for striking an officer.
[26:03] Speaker 3: No, t Boar, you'll look weak.
[26:07] Speaker 2: Captain t Bore knows he's right, which infuriates him even more.
[26:11] Speaker 2: The camera pulls back as the two men are restrained
[26:14] Speaker 2: by their respective supporters. Ye's still desperately clawing and reaching
[26:18] Speaker 2: for one last punch. Stay to black interior living room,
[26:24] Speaker 2: Cat's family home night. The whole family is present except
[26:28] Speaker 2: for Eden, Avram, Sorry, Uncle Jehudah, Isaac, Wolfe, Devora, and Bella.
[26:34] Speaker 2: Dove is on the couch, eyes closed, popping in and
[26:37] Speaker 2: out of sleep. Avrom sits at his side watching him.
[26:41] Speaker 2: Devora turns to.
[26:42] Speaker 8: Wolf why do men think with their fists.
[26:47] Speaker 3: Fists settle matters words camp?
[26:50] Speaker 2: Avram stands, turns to the family.
[26:53] Speaker 11: T Boar's rage is clear. Then let him suffer and
[26:56] Speaker 11: Remember how by unsheathing your knife.
[27:00] Speaker 3: He lost the fight. Papa, this is far from over.
[27:02] Speaker 11: If a mind of violence is what you've learned from
[27:05] Speaker 11: those Zionist friends of yours.
[27:06] Speaker 14: Unlike you, those friends, and I have walked the streets
[27:09] Speaker 14: of Krakau, Warsaw and Luds, Jews forced into ghettos like animals,
[27:15] Speaker 14: thousands living on top of one another, slummed within a
[27:17] Speaker 14: few square blocks.
[27:19] Speaker 11: That's Poland.
[27:20] Speaker 2: It's not here, not yet.
[27:23] Speaker 11: This is how it starts.
[27:25] Speaker 14: First, it's shot, closings and beatings, and then it's ghettos
[27:29] Speaker 14: and yellow stars.
[27:30] Speaker 2: Allow me to end this before it begins.
[27:33] Speaker 11: By killing him, you will ensure that it does begin.
[27:36] Speaker 2: Both rolls his eyes, dismissing his father's warning. Frustrated, Avrom
[27:41] Speaker 2: steps into his face. It's intimidating.
[27:44] Speaker 11: I may not have walked down the streets of Krackou
[27:47] Speaker 11: and Luds, but I've stood face to face with my enemy,
[27:51] Speaker 11: close enough to feel his warm blood run down my arm,
[27:55] Speaker 11: close enough to see the look in his eyes as
[27:57] Speaker 11: he wondered how much deeper. I drive my bayonet into
[28:00] Speaker 11: his stomach.
[28:02] Speaker 2: Which frightens Wolf and freezes the rest of the room.
[28:06] Speaker 11: You know nothing about killing man Hushka and I pray
[28:09] Speaker 11: you never do.
[28:11] Speaker 2: A knock at the front door tenses everyone further. Isaac
[28:15] Speaker 2: opens the door, revealing inga her face fraught with worry.
[28:19] Speaker 17: Can I see him? Please?
[28:22] Speaker 2: Avram Nod's approval INGA rushes to Dove's side, grabbing his hand.
[28:28] Speaker 2: Avram and Sory are touched from envy grows hate. Interior

[28:42] Speaker 2: t Boar's shirtless, hovering over a first aid kit balanced
[28:45] Speaker 2: on the sink, now dabbing iodine on his contou's cheek.
[28:50] Speaker 2: A gold cross dangles from his neck. He takes a
[28:54] Speaker 2: long pointed look at himself in the mirror, eyes moving
[28:58] Speaker 2: from his bruise to the cross and back again. He
[29:02] Speaker 2: raises his left arm, revealing two inch long scars appearing
[29:06] Speaker 2: like horizontal Roman numerals under his armpit. He unclasps his
[29:11] Speaker 2: cross's chain from around his neck and using the crosses
[29:14] Speaker 2: sharp edge, digs into his skin, cutting a third mark
[29:17] Speaker 2: underneath the two previous ones. His hand shakes, his blood
[29:21] Speaker 2: oozes from the self made wound. This action taken by
[29:25] Speaker 2: t Boar seems to be some measure of self inflicted penance.
[29:30] Speaker 2: When he's finished, te Boar goes back to staring at
[29:33] Speaker 2: himself in the mirror, then flares up, knocking the first
[29:36] Speaker 2: aid kit on the floor, scattering its contents. Interior squad room,
[29:42] Speaker 2: Police precinct, continuous main room, where uniformed officers mingle. Captain
[29:48] Speaker 2: t Boar exits the bathroom to find his officers laughing
[29:50] Speaker 2: amongst themselves. The last die out when Captain Teboar's presence
[29:54] Speaker 2: is realized. Whether he's the butt of their joke or not,
[29:59] Speaker 2: it's his perception he is fueling a growing rage within him.
[30:04] Speaker 2: Interior living room, Cat's family home. Simultaneously, only a few

[30:22] Speaker 2: Now?
[30:22] Speaker 3: Is not the time to discuss money.

[30:48] Speaker 17: I would end our affair if it means peace for
[30:50] Speaker 17: your family.
[30:52] Speaker 11: Sweet girl, the captain's a bully. Bend once, and you'll
[30:57] Speaker 11: bend forever.
[30:58] Speaker 3: If we don't fight back and we don't give in
[31:00] Speaker 3: what options left?
[31:03] Speaker 11: Bezras Hashem.
[31:04] Speaker 2: Inga doesn't understand. Hebrew God will provide a long moment
[31:09] Speaker 2: of silence he already has.
[31:13] Speaker 12: Go to Budapest, Avram, go see your father.
[31:17] Speaker 2: Sorry, indicates Mosha's letter still in the kitchen table.
[31:20] Speaker 12: Bail is right.
[31:21] Speaker 18: Without the store, our family has nothing but a dozen
[31:23] Speaker 18: mouse to feed and a shortage of food in the pantry.
[31:26] Speaker 2: Avrom looks to uncle Yahooda to weigh in. Osha has
[31:31] Speaker 2: the connections to get the band lifted. There's no shame
[31:35] Speaker 2: in asking for his help. Rosa enters with her husband Georgi.
[31:40] Speaker 11: Rosa, thank you for coming.
[31:42] Speaker 2: She rushes over to the couch where Doe is napping,
[31:44] Speaker 2: nudges him awake. As Doe slowly awakens, on Dove as
[31:49] Speaker 2: he wipes asleep from his eyes.
[31:51] Speaker 13: Ah, Rosa, they shouldn't have called you. Sleep is the
[31:56] Speaker 13: best doctor.
[31:57] Speaker 7: Captain Tebow did this.
[32:00] Speaker 12: Georgie, there's some nice neckin on the kitchen table. Help yourself.
[32:04] Speaker 2: Georgy seats himself, takes a bite of a schneck and
[32:08] Speaker 2: and notices Mosh's letter sitting on the table. Rosa listens
[32:12] Speaker 2: to her stethoscope. The drum over doves chest.

[33:03] Speaker 15: infection sets.
[33:05] Speaker 2: Rosa grabs a bottle of iodine from her bag. Isaac
[33:07] Speaker 2: and Avrom approach. Watch as Rosa cleans Dove's cuts with
[33:11] Speaker 2: a swab of iodine. Dove looks up to Avrom.
[33:16] Speaker 10: Why didn't you send me away?
[33:20] Speaker 11: Because I'm weak?
[33:23] Speaker 3: So, Papa, what's your decision?

[38:29] Speaker 11: Must be hard finding one who can actually do housework.
[38:33] Speaker 2: Mosha ignores this as he presents an empty glass to
[38:36] Speaker 2: Aram Aram nods, yes.
[38:39] Speaker 6: Ice, no fine, I'll call the Minister of Trade and
[38:44] Speaker 6: Commerce regarding your problem with the butcher's shop. He's sympathetic
[38:48] Speaker 6: to Jewish businesses in the villages.
[38:51] Speaker 11: Thank you, don't thank me yet?
[38:54] Speaker 3: The wind is changing into Budapest.
[38:57] Speaker 7: Or did you not read my letter?
[39:00] Speaker 11: Build conscience, wrong motion.
[39:01] Speaker 2: Delivers uh whatever, Look if he hans Avrom his drink.
[39:04] Speaker 6: Parliaments considered lengthening forced labor units terms of service from
[39:08] Speaker 6: three months to two years, banning marriage and fornication between
[39:14] Speaker 6: Jews and non.
[39:15] Speaker 11: Jews for one thousand years. This country has been tough
[39:18] Speaker 11: on Jews, from the twelve hundreds in Ladislaus the fourth
[39:21] Speaker 11: to the White Terrors twenty years ago. Of course, always
[39:24] Speaker 11: rights itself.
[39:25] Speaker 6: But never enough for them to consider us true Hungarians.
[39:29] Speaker 6: The council's drafting a list of grievances for President Horthy,
[39:32] Speaker 6: and I'd like you to be a part of it.
[39:35] Speaker 6: The neologue perspective.
[39:38] Speaker 11: The city is rooted in Neologian rabbis. Why me, you're
[39:42] Speaker 11: my son, Hushika.
[39:45] Speaker 6: There was a time when these hands fed you, clothed you,
[39:48] Speaker 6: and bathed you. I was God in your eyes.
[39:53] Speaker 11: I remember I was still a child. But children grow up,
[39:59] Speaker 11: and I realized you were not God. You were just
[40:02] Speaker 11: the son of a goat farmer who sees the people
[40:04] Speaker 11: of his life in terms of their value in getting
[40:07] Speaker 11: him what he wants. You don't care about Jewish rights.
[40:11] Speaker 11: Two years for labor units instead of three months means
[40:14] Speaker 11: less cheap labor for your factories. Interracial fornication forces you
[40:19] Speaker 11: to hire your whares instead of publicly fawning over them.
[40:22] Speaker 6: Doesn't it wear you out believing you're so much better
[40:27] Speaker 6: than everyone else? Was your life so damaged?
[40:30] Speaker 2: With me as a father? Avrom won't even touch this.
[40:34] Speaker 2: Don't turn to blind eye because you hate me.
[40:37] Speaker 6: The war on Jews is coming to Hungary and it
[40:40] Speaker 6: will be the end of us.
[40:43] Speaker 11: What would you have me do with three hot blooded sons,
[40:46] Speaker 11: one of whom already draws his knife at the slightest whim.
[40:50] Speaker 11: How would they survives to war?
[40:53] Speaker 6: When you were a child, you would always hide behind
[40:56] Speaker 6: your mother. As a young man, that was God and
[40:59] Speaker 6: the Yamaka. Now you hide behind your son's.
[41:06] Speaker 2: Coward exterior Crotia Street day Closeness sign Crosier Street pull
[41:12] Speaker 2: out to find a hub of activity as residents freak
[41:15] Speaker 2: with their favorite shops and cafes. We're looking through the
[41:18] Speaker 2: store window of the Croatia Street hair salon. Inside, we
[41:21] Speaker 2: see Devora speaking with the redheaded female salon own her fifties.
[41:26] Speaker 2: By their animated hand gestures, we gather at some type
[41:29] Speaker 2: of negotiation. The salon owner extends her hand for Devora
[41:33] Speaker 2: to accept terms, but Devora defiantly shakes her head no.
[41:38] Speaker 2: The female salon owner shrugs then turns away, while Devora
[41:42] Speaker 2: exits the salon frustrated. As Devora gathers herself, she notices
[41:47] Speaker 2: something in the storefront window of a travel agency next
[41:50] Speaker 2: door to the salon that catches her eye. Whatever it is,
[41:54] Speaker 2: it seems to hold her attention for a moment, until
[41:57] Speaker 2: on her peripheral she spots a woman, Clara thirty Aryan features,
[42:03] Speaker 2: exiting the market carrying a large bag of groceries while
[42:07] Speaker 2: trying to discipline her two unruly children, a boy, Hans
[42:12] Speaker 2: and girl Haika, eight and five, respectively. Hans is disabled,
[42:17] Speaker 2: wearing a lead brace on his right leg. Devora runs
[42:20] Speaker 2: over Hans.
[42:22] Speaker 8: No here, I can carry.
[42:24] Speaker 2: That back, Devor reaches out. Clara considers, then hands it over.
[42:28] Speaker 8: Oh here, darling, thank you.
[42:30] Speaker 12: I'm Clara.
[42:31] Speaker 15: This is Hans and Hika Devora.
[42:34] Speaker 8: How far are you going?
[42:35] Speaker 15: Two streets over the Hotel Lennox. If it's not an
[42:37] Speaker 15: imposition none whatsoever, it's on my.
[42:40] Speaker 2: Way and carry her Hotel Lennox Suite day Devora. Clara
[42:45] Speaker 2: and her children enter the hotel suite. Clara turns to Hans.
[42:50] Speaker 12: Read your sister, distrivil Peter.
[42:52] Speaker 2: Hans grabs a book from the coffee table and begins
[42:54] Speaker 2: reading in the bedroom. Hans ushers his sister into the bedroom.
[43:00] Speaker 2: Clara rules her eyes.
[43:02] Speaker 8: My youngest brother and sister or five year old twins.
[43:06] Speaker 8: It's like wrangling cats.
[43:07] Speaker 15: Mine are restless. We've been moving around quite a bit.
[43:11] Speaker 15: My husband's an engineer. He was hired by the Hungarian
[43:14] Speaker 15: telephone company. So we left Munich.
[43:16] Speaker 8: I love Munich, walking along the es at night. You
[43:22] Speaker 8: speak German.
[43:23] Speaker 12: Why were you in Munich?
[43:25] Speaker 8: My brothers and I spent two summers with our uncle
[43:27] Speaker 8: Saul and his family.
[43:29] Speaker 12: Are they still there, No, somewhere in Denmark. We left
[43:33] Speaker 12: just in time.
[43:34] Speaker 8: Are you Jewish?
[43:35] Speaker 15: We had many Jewish friends and our podiatrist was Jewish.
[43:40] Speaker 15: Do you work?
[43:41] Speaker 8: I cut hair at Rosie's salon.
[43:43] Speaker 15: Oh good, I was thinking about coming in and getting
[43:46] Speaker 15: a pompadour.
[43:47] Speaker 8: A pompadour wouldn't fit your face. It wouldn't fit mine either.
[43:51] Speaker 8: We're cursed with flat cheekbones. I'd make you look like
[43:55] Speaker 8: a star Valley Rods or Greta Garbo. You really enjoy
[44:01] Speaker 8: what you'd do, I'd enjoy it more. At the salon
[44:04] Speaker 8: owner gave me another day's work.
[44:06] Speaker 15: I used to be an accountant's assistant. Now I've mastered
[44:09] Speaker 15: the art of doing nothing. I miss being important.
[44:15] Speaker 8: I've always been pretty, never important. Why not go back
[44:20] Speaker 8: to work? A German woman with high credentials is like
[44:24] Speaker 8: Queen Sheba and Hungary.
[44:25] Speaker 12: What would I do with my children?
[44:27] Speaker 8: Pay a house made to watch them.
[44:30] Speaker 12: Perhaps one who speaks German?
[44:34] Speaker 15: Me you, Oh, you're perfect, and I'd pay you generously.
[44:39] Speaker 15: Do say yes to Bora. I like your nature. You
[44:41] Speaker 15: speak your mind with no restraint.
[44:44] Speaker 8: That's probably why I'm not married.
[44:47] Speaker 2: As the two have a good laugh. Interior Mosha's study night.
[44:52] Speaker 2: Avram glances out into the hallway watching Mosha on the
[44:55] Speaker 2: telephones long enough to see Mosha ping ponging between nodding,
[44:59] Speaker 2: listening repeatedly smelling his palms. Avram then turns his attention
[45:05] Speaker 2: back into the study. His eyes locate a stretch of
[45:07] Speaker 2: carpet underfoot in the room center. This parcel of rug
[45:12] Speaker 2: has some special significance on Mosha. He hangs up and
[45:16] Speaker 2: enters to find Avram's eyes and attention fixated on the carpet.
[45:20] Speaker 2: Mosha knows the what and why of Avram's fascination. He sighs,
[45:26] Speaker 2: partly to shake Aram out of his reverie, partly out
[45:29] Speaker 2: of utter disappointment that he's still touched by this memory.
[45:33] Speaker 6: Ah, it's done. The minister sounded optimistic, But from my
[45:39] Speaker 6: lips to God's ears, it helps that we switched your
[45:42] Speaker 6: business license to a Christian name a few years ago.
[45:46] Speaker 6: He'll contact you in a few days.
[45:48] Speaker 2: Thank you.
[45:49] Speaker 6: I know it must infuriate you to be in debt to.
[45:52] Speaker 11: A man like me as much as it pleases you
[45:56] Speaker 11: to know I am.
[45:57] Speaker 2: In your debt. An then turns his attention back to
[46:01] Speaker 2: the carpet interior upstairs hallway Mosh's house night close up
[46:08] Speaker 2: on the framed photograph of a woman standing under an
[46:11] Speaker 2: oak tree. It's the same woman from the family painting downstairs.
[46:15] Speaker 2: Avram's mother find Isaac fascinated by it, no doubt since
[46:21] Speaker 2: she is the source of the rift between father and grandfather.
[46:25] Speaker 2: Isaac walks down the hall, examining other family photographs hanging
[46:28] Speaker 2: on the wall, Avrom with his brothers in motion in
[46:32] Speaker 2: front of one of Mosa's first furniture stores, Avrom with
[46:35] Speaker 2: his mother eating ice cream on the beach. Isaac continues
[46:39] Speaker 2: down the hall and enters the master bedroom interior Mosh's
[46:44] Speaker 2: Master bedroom, Mosh's House continuous. Isaac enters eyes widen It's
[46:49] Speaker 2: grandiose Italian lambs, Baroque wardrobe, etc. The top Moses dresser

[47:03] Speaker 2: a top Moses's dresser rests bottles of French cologne and
[47:06] Speaker 2: an expensive Jaeger La Culture gold watch. Isaac spritches his
[47:11] Speaker 2: wrist with cologne and sniffs fancy. On Mosha's nightstand rests
[47:16] Speaker 2: the room's only photograph Avrom and Mosha after Avrom returned
[47:21] Speaker 2: home from World War One. He's in uniform adorned with medals,
[47:26] Speaker 2: Mosha's arms proudly draped around him. Isaac realizes, despite their animosity,
[47:33] Speaker 2: Mosha still cares for Avrom. Deeply. All of a sudden,
[47:37] Speaker 2: screeching tires skids to a halt. Outside, Isaac moves to
[47:41] Speaker 2: the window sees police vehicles parking in front of the house,
[47:45] Speaker 2: an officer streaming through the gate.
[47:47] Speaker 6: No.
[47:48] Speaker 2: Isaac's face is full of fear, absolutely terrified as the
[47:52] Speaker 2: police are about to enter his grandfather's house. And we
[47:57] Speaker 2: end episode two.
