Defiance Page #5

Synopsis: On the run and hiding in the deep forests of the then German-occupied Poland and Belorussia (World War II), the four Bielski brothers find the impossible task of foraging for food and weapons for their survival. They live, not only with the fear of discovery, contending with neighboring Soviet partisans and knowing whom to trust but also take the responsibility of looking after a large mass of fleeing Polish Jews from the German war machine. Women, men, children, the elderly and the young alike are all hiding in makeshift homes in the dark, cold and unforgiving forests in the darkest times of German-occupied Eastern Europe.

Are you allright?

I'm allright. My ear ...

Go! Get them all to the bunkers. Go!

- Stay down!

No, no, no! It is over! They're coming. Infantry.

Go, go, go!

We need to hold them up untill the rest are safe.

- Machine guns!

- Yes, with Levine and Miriam! There!

Lazar, Rosa and Shmiel. There and there! And me!

-No! No!

- I want to stay with you.

- No, I must go with them!

- I want to stay with you!

It is too dangerous here to stay!

Rosa ... down there!

No! You go with them, it's not safe here.

Do not try to fight'em as well.

Just slow them down and come and join us.

Chaya please! You go with them now, it's not safe.

- No.

Take her!

Go!

Move, Chaya! Go!

Moshe, quickly! Let me help you. Come.

- Careful!

They're moving to the right!

- Yeah!.

Oh, my God!

We have to keep going.

- The Germans will be here any minute.

Are the others back yet?

Asael?

Tuvia, do we stay or go?

We have to wait for the others.

We can't leave them.

We could hide.

- I say fight them here!

That's crazy.

My father cannot make it.

- There are snakes?

Children?

- We will put them on our shoulders.

Tuvia, what do we do?

- We can't go without the others.

The others are dead.

What are we going to do?

- What's wrong with him?

Do you have a weapon?

- Yes.

- Give it!

Give it to me!

You use this on yourself,

before you let them take you.

Why are we stopping?

- Asael! They're alive!

Someone take her! Take her! They're coming!

They're coming! Why aren't we moving, huh?

We must keep going!

- Through there?

- It is impossible!

Nothing is impossible!

What we have done is impossible!

The troops are coming.

God will not part his waters.

We will do it ourselves.

- How?

Not by miracles!

We will do it together, by our strength.

You! Take the rope of your pack and give it to me.

And you, give me your belt! Quickly!

There's not enough rope, Asael!

- Then we will link arms, we'll make a chain.

But if someone slips?

- The strong will take care of the weak.

Give me your belt.

- Tuvia, give him your belt.

Quiet!

How much further?

You can't sleep here.

You can't time for sleeping now. Come on!

My books.

Asael, look! We've made it!

I have something to say.

- No. You rest, now. Don't talk! Don't talk!

- No. Please.

I almost lost my faith.

But you are sent by God to save us.

Ridiculous.

- I know.

But just in case, I thank Him.

And I thank you ...

Tank! Take cover! Everybody down! Get down!

Get down!

Tuvia, what do we do?

We try and go back across the river?

- No! We stay and fight!

Get the ammunition to the guns! To the guns!

Isaac, take!

Ammunition! Ammunition, there!

Strip the bodies of weapons

and ammunition only. Take this.

Anything else?

- No, we got to get the injured in the forest.

What about the dead?

- We have to keep moving.

Everybody, gather your belongings!

We must get out of the open!

- Shimon!

- Yes, Tuvia?

- Everybody, tell them! Weapons only.

Weapons only!!

Shimon! You've been promoted. Congratulations!

Where is the rest of your unit?

- Good question.

Are you going back?

We have a new camp to build.

Perhaps you have room for one more.

Let's go. Come on.

You see that?

- What?

The forest. Beautiful, isn't it?

Yes it is.

ALWAYS down, THE NUMBER IS GROWING
