1:05:00
Amongst the brown shirts...
1:05:02
she spots a figure
who could be Zelig.

1:05:05
Then it made all
the sense in the world...

1:05:08
because although
he wanted to be loved...

1:05:11
craved to be loved...
1:05:13
there was also
something in him...

1:05:16
that desired immersion
in the mass and anonymity.

1:05:20
And Fascism offered Zelig
that kind of opportunity...

1:05:23
so that he could make something
anonymous of himself...

1:05:28
by belonging
to this vast movement.

1:05:32
She sails for
Europe the following week.

1:05:36
Ten days later,
she arrives in Berlin.

1:05:39
Germany is a country deep
in the throes of the Depression.

1:05:43
Militarism and unrest
are in the air.

1:05:47
She searches everywhere
and makes inquiries...

1:05:49
but it is impossible.
1:05:51
After three weeks...
1:05:52
the authorities begin
to get suspicious.

1:05:55
They watch her.
1:05:56
While she is out,
they search her hotel room.

1:06:00
A fourth week goes by...
1:06:02
and she is about
to give up and go home...

1:06:04
when news of a large rally
at Munich catches her attention.

1:06:09
It is rumored
that it will be...

1:06:11
the largest gathering to date
of Nazi personnel.

1:06:14
Eudora Fletcher
is counting on the hope...

1:06:16
that Zelig may attend and that
if she can confront him...

1:06:21
the strong feeling he has always
had for her can be awakened.

1:06:26
At first, all appears hopeless.
1:06:29
The crowd is huge.
1:06:31
It seems impossible to locate
any one particular face.

1:06:49
Then suddenly, a figure flanking
the chancellor...

1:06:52
catches her attention.
1:06:54
Behind and to the right
of Hitler, she spots Zelig.

1:06:58
Struggling to make contact,
she manages to catch his eye.
