You're lying!

You're lying!

- Jzek!

- Truth hurts, don't it...

No... Jzek, don't!

- Die, you son-of-a-b*tch...

- Who was there, bastard, you or me?

Your father hacked them Jews with a saw

and kicked Halszka Mintz's

head all over the road,

'cause she wouldn't put out

for him before the war.

He chased her, and then he grabbed her

hair, and smashed her head on the ground,

he grabbed her hair,

and smashed her head on the ground,

he grabbed her hair...

And she was crying: "mama, mama... "

and he smashed her head on the ground,

'till he sliced her neck clean open.

Is that what you want to tell people?

I'll swear to it as a witness.

Is that what you want, motherf***er?

So don't be raising

your hand against me.

Jzek!

So, what do you want to do now?

Nothing. What's there to do?

We'll bury them in the cemetery.

If we start moving the bones

it'll all come out.

The authorities will find out,

the papers will find out,

the whole country will

be talking about it.

The whole world will

start talking about it.

I know them Chicago Jews.

They won't let it go that easy.

In 20 generations they'll remember about

our village, Malinowski, and our father.

That's their right

and our hope, too. Maybe the likes

of our father won't be seen again,

God permitting.

We'll bury them where we found them.

Now, tonight.

- What?

- No one will know.

- But we know.

- And we'll take it to our graves.

- No.

- Yes.

No, Jzek.

This world is a lousy shithole.

And we won't make it one bit better,

but you know what?

We won't make it worse.

And that's something.

Our family's done way more

than its share of evil.

You ran away from all this 20 years ago.

Go back to America, and leave

the whole business to me.

- I'm your brother.

- You're not.

I renounced you when you left,

Father cursed you and nobody even

spoke your name all these years.

Mother cried her eyes out for you

in secret, scared to admit it.

My brother died in '80.

Get out of my house.

I'm your brother.

Brother!

I knew...

Lady, are you nuts?

What if I hadn't hit the brakes?

Jzek?
