Murray Markowitz Makes Peace With His End
Hunting Nazis is a dangerous job and it becomes all the more challenging when it is revealed that they are not only in touch with each other but are also planning something big. In the first season, the Hunters discover that the Nazis that they have been hunting are a part of a bigger conspiracy. They are all working under the leadership of a person known as the Colonel and they aim to bring back the Nazi regime. This time, however, the target is America.
Murray and Mindy are Holocaust survivors. They have not only lived in inhumane conditions, but they also suffered a heartbreaking tragedy just when they arrived at the camp. When men, women, and children were being separated, Murray refused to let go of his son Aaron. The guards tried to separate them but failed. In the end, an SS officer decided that the only way to solve the problem was to kill the child. He shot Aaron point-blank in front of his parents. While Murray survived and moved on with his life, the loss of his son was something that always ate away at him. The couple became a part of the Hunters because they were motivated by the desire for justice and revenge.
After decoding a complicated code that the Nazis had been secretly communicating with, the Hunters arrive at the Grand Central Station, which is revealed to be a key location in the Nazis’ plans. Here, Jonah recognizes Travis, who leaves a bag inside the subway. While Ronny follows Travis, Jonah and Murray are left inside the train. They discover a bomb inside the bag, and they have very little time to stop it. While Jonah leads the people away from the bomb to safety, Murray tries to diffuse it.
Despite his expertise on the matter, Murray knows there is a very good chance that the bomb will go off. He tries to find a way to stop it by cutting off a wire or two, but in the end, it becomes clear that there is no way around it. Seeing that Jonah and the others are at a safe distance, he cuts the last wire and the bomb goes off. Moments before it, Murray sees his son, Aaron, which confirms that the man had made peace with his death.
