Truth describes a story from the Bible about Abraham and Sarah. In the story, an angel tells Abraham that Sarah will have a baby next year. Sarah, who overhears this, laughs, stating that she and her husband are both too old to conceive children. The angel hears Sarah and asks her why she laughs if she believes that anything is possible through God. Afraid, Sarah lies. Truth notes that when the angel repeats Sarah’s words to Abraham, the parts about being too old are omitted to spare his feelings. Truth claims that sometimes, to maintain peace, some things should not be said.
Fannie finds Katalin’s shop and speaks to her in Hungarian. This makes Katalin suspicious. Fannie tells Katalin that she was one of the children who was saved on the banks of the Danube River. Katalin states that she wasn’t the one to save them; the boy who hid her gold from the Arrow Cross deserves the credit. Fannie interrogates Katalin about the young man, and she reveals that he sends money to Holocaust survivors each year on August 10; the man sends a postcard to Katalin every year as well. Katalin tells Fannie that if she wants to find that man, she needs to find out who made the movies that are pictured on the front of the postcards.
