Recognizing the danger to her parents, Halina successfully sends them to the Pionki Gunpowder Factory, located 60 miles from Warsaw, after fabricating their identities. However, she understands the urgency of getting them to safety before the situation worsens.
During the process, she decides to relocate them to a safe house. Despite encountering a few obstacles along the way, she bribes a factory security guard and leads them to a family's house.
Despite the family's constant fear of being captured, they openly revealed that the Blue Police had already conducted two raids.
The family also made it clear that Sola and Nechuma must retreat to a concealed location in their room, in case of the raid. Halina assures the family that nothing will go wrong and bids farewell to her parents.
As Halina departed, it became evident from her expressions that she remained uncertain and was concerned for the safety of her parents, considering the heightened severity of the executions.

Halina, who is portrayed as a courageous and determined daughter from the beginning of the series, is aware of the jeopardy that her parents face and takes decisive action to save them.
Her understanding of the situation and her willingness to go to great lengths for her parents' safety speaks volumes about her bravery.
Additionally, she recognized that her parent's employment in the factory did not constitute a lasting resolution, and she bravely compromised her safety to rescue them.
