Passport to Freedom - First Season

Hardner : Our glorious leader's in town.

They won't let us in.

Turn around, please.

Aracy : I'm Aracy de Carvalho from the Brazilian consulate.

I'm here as the Fuhrer's personal guest.

Hardner : His personal guest?

Aracy : Hmm.

Aracy : The docks are crawling with police.

(Adolf Hitler speaking German on radio)

Aracy : We need to get Herbert Katz his visa.

We need to get him out of here now.

Hans : How much for all 5 of us?

Do we get a group discount?

She's a Jew.

Hans : So you are a whore.

Oh, watch out.

They have teeth between their legs.

Zumkle : What are your orders here?

Hans : Patrolling the area for the Fuhrer's visit, sir.

She's a Jewish prostitute.

Zumkle : Are you a prostitute, madam?

Vivi : No. I'm not.

Hans : Oof!

Zumkle : So you're blind as well as stupid, huh?

Apologize.

Hans : She's a Jew.

Zumkle : Now.

Hans : Sorry.

Vivi : My locket.

Joao : I appreciate the opportunity, Excellency.

I'm a huge fan of German culture--

Heine, Goethe...

Aranha : And Hitler.

You're not going there on holiday.

Schaffer : Starting in Grindel,

SA are going to make the arrests and drive the trucks.

Zumkle : You reckon they're up to the job?

Schaffer : Well, they're like police dogs.

One whiff of a Jew, and they're off.

Zumkle : Yes, but there are almost a thousand Polish Jews

in Hamburg and 17,000 across Germany.

Schaffer : Yes. Well, not for long,

and if Poland doesn't want them back,

then there's plenty of room in the graveyards.

Aracy : If they find him, this visa will be useless.

Hardner : We can try again later if you can get off work.

Aracy : I will meet you back here at 2:00,

or he may get tired of waiting.

(men speaking German and laughing)

Sorry.

Tina : Deputy Consul?

Joao : Yes.

Tina : Mr. Guimaraes Rosa, I'm Tina Fallada,

secretary of the consulate.

Joao : Nice to meet you.

Tina : Welcome to Hamburg.

Improved by Sailor420

Hope you enjoy the show

Aracy : Good morning.

Thank you.

Heh.

Finally, I'm me again.

Good-bye, Mrs. Tess.

Joao : It was all--

Souza Ribeiro : Come in. Come in, everybody. Come in.

I want you all to meet our new deputy consul--

Mr. Joao Guimaraes Rosa.

Well, Tina you've already met.

This is Carlos Martins, our diplomatic secretary.

Carlos : Nice to meet you.

Joao : Nice to meet you.

Souza Ribeiro : Liselotte Martu's our local secretary...

Liselotte : Hello.

Joao : Hello.

Souza Ribeiro : and Aracy Carvalho,

head of the passport section.

Aracy : Hello.

Joao : How are you?

Souza Ribeiro : As you're all aware,

Mr. Rosa assumes the full consular role in my absence.

Tina : He's gonna be very busy, then.

Aracy : Shh.

Souza Ribeiro : Aracy, I'd like you to take the day off

to show Mr. Rosa around the city

and help him find some suitable accommodation.

Aracy : Oh, but--

Souza Ribeiro : The hotel is quite charming,

but we can't expect our taxpayers

to keep him there indefinitely.

Aracy : Heh.

Well, can we use the second consular car, then?

Souza Ribeiro : Yes. Of course.

The car will be at his disposal from now on.

Aracy : If you'll excuse me,

I need to reorganize my schedule.

Souza Ribeiro : Well, neither of us gets a driver, I'm afraid.

Hardner : Slow down.

Aracy : If I can ditch the deputy consul fast enough,

we still have time to deliver Herbert Katz's visa.

Hardner : I could bring it to him.

Aracy : If you show up at the safe house,

they will think I've shopped him to the government.

You still dress like an off-duty policeman.

Hardner : Cheers.

Aracy : They might shoot you.

Ah, Mr. Rosa is late.

You hold on to this.

I'll try to get back here in an hour

if Mr. Rosa ever decides to grace us with his presence.

Joao : Mrs. Carvalho.

Aracy : Deputy Consul,

this is Milton Hardner, my driving instructor.

Joao : You're learning to drive?

Aracy : Yes. Women actually do that here.

Thank you.

Joao : It's a bit dark

and smells of...

damp.

Aracy : Only because the heating has been off.

It's an excellent location, right next to the Alster Lake.

Joao : It's...

beautiful.

I think we should look at some other places

and see what else is available.

Aracy : As you wish,

but it will be hard to find another apartment that's as--

Joao : Damp or dark?

Aracy : Well, if you don't like it...

Joao : After you.

You were right about the Alster.

It is beautiful...

Aracy : Yes. Isn't it?

Joao : so peaceful,

but Hamburg feels so lively and cosmopolitan.

Aracy : Rather different from Minas Gerais, I expect.

Joao : How long have you been living here?

Aracy : 4 years, since I moved from Sao Paulo.

Joao : Oh, you're a Paulista.

Aracy : I was born in Paranha, but Sao Paulo was my home.

Joao : And you came here alone?

Aracy : I came here to avoid that exact question.

In Germany, I can drive. I can work. I can travel alone.

Nobody finds it shocking...

and my mother's German.

She lives in Brazil, but she still has family here.

Joao : I feel fortunate to have Hamburg

as my first foreign post.

Aracy : You must know a lot of people.

Joao : Not really. No.

I trained as a doctor, but I gave up my practice.

I can't stand the sight of blood.

Joao : Look. I'm sorry for wasting your time today.

I know you have other things to do.

Aracy : No. Consul asked me to show you the city.

Joao : Ha ha ha! Hansel and Gretel.

Aracy : Do you like fairy tales, Deputy Consul?

Joao : I like reading them to my daughters.

I miss them so much.

Aracy : We still have two more apartments to look at.

Joao : "For Aryan children only."

Absolutely disgraceful.

Otto : You need a break?

Joao : That sign

that said only Aryan children could play in the park--

Aracy : Only Aryans count as German citizens now.

Joao : Shameful.

Aracy : Look around.

There are no Jews in here, not even the waiters.

Hardly any jobs are still open to them.

Joao : Since the Nuremburg laws.

Aracy : Yes...

and our country still supports Germany.

Joao : Doesn't mean I do.

Ludo : Don't use it all at once.

Joao : Please.

Aracy : I made some notes on the apartments we saw today

in case you want to take another look at them.

Joao : Oh, thank you.

Uh, Mrs. Carvalho...
