In Germany, they transfer to another train to take them to Austria. Ahmed asks Max how he thought of the plan to run on the roofs from his house, and Max tells him the story of Ralph Mayer and Albert Jonnart for the first time.

They transfer to another train that will take them to Hungary. They cross the border and then see a conductor walking down the aisle checking passports. Max speaks to the conductor and hands him their passports. The conductor speaks roughly to Ahmed but hands them back their passports and moves on. As they arrive at the train station, Ahmed notices the conductor coming back down the aisle toward them with a Hungarian police officer. Max and Ahmed run the other way, pushing past people who are starting to stand up in preparation to leave the train. They run through the whole train before reaching the last compartment.

Max freezes, knowing that they have nowhere to go. Suddenly, he realizes that the train has stopped moving, and he grabs Ahmed to run toward one of the exits. They run out of the train station into a park. Ahmed grabs Max, and they hide in the bushes at the park, gasping for air.
