16.
BIEDERMAN (CONT’D)
(in Yiddish)
Not much. And him?
Abraham looks at Saul.
SAUL:
(in Hungarian, to Abraham)
I have nothing.
Biederman looks at Abraham and leaves. +
Feigenbaum appears behind them, wiping the sweat off his
face.
+
FEIGENBAUM:
(in Yiddish)
Got me some paper?
No.
ABRAHAM:
(in Yiddish)
FEIGENBAUM:
(in Yiddish, slightly
disappointed)
Come on then.
Biederman nods. Saul and Abraham follow Feigenbaum.
CUT TO:
9 INT. KREMATORIUM - TUNNEL / PASSAGE / NARROW CORRIDOR - DAY
Saul is at the door of the gas chamber. He’s waiting among
other prisoners.
Muted cries of agony can still be heard. The members of the
Sonderkommando look exhausted and they sweat. A man is busy
cleaning his hands of dirt and oil, but to no avail.
+
+
One man is talking to himself in a very low voice, as if
praying.
+
+
After a while, Saul draws closer to Abraham.
SAUL:
(in Hungarian, low)
I need your help.
Abraham does not answer.
The cries and shouts behind the door decrease. Saul stops,
lowers his head.
17.
SAUL (CONT’D)
(in Hungarian, low)
I need another rabbi. +
Abraham looks at him in a strange way.
ABRAHAM:
(in Hungarian)
You? A rabbi?
Saul does not answer. +
Saul sits down onto the ground, speechless.
ABRAHAM (CONT’D) +
(in Hungarian, low) +
The one at the stove, he’s not +
good? +
The noise of the ventilation goes on. +
ABRAHAM (CONT’D) +
(in Hungarian, low)
A rabbi won’t save you from fear.
Saul looks at Abraham. Behind Abraham’s harsh look, Saul sees +
some kind of sympathy. +
Abraham is already looking at an SS OFFICER who walks out of
the penumbra, all the way to the glass on the heavy door and
looks through it for long seconds.
SS OFFICER +
(in German) +
Business is finished. +
Abraham grabs Saul’s hand and pulls him up.
In the background the guards are opening the door. Around
them, members of the kommando are gathering, encouraged by
the kapos.
Some men in gas masks pull out the first bodies and drag them
into the corridor.
ABRAHAM:
(in Hungarian, low)
You heard of the “Apikoyres”?
Saul shakes his head.
Hirsch starts paying attention to their conversation.
18.
ABRAHAM (CONT’D)
(in Hungarian, low)
Greek. They say he used to be one.
Why do you need a rabbi?
SAUL:
(in Hungarian, low)
In which kommando?
ABRAHAM:
(in Hungarian, low)
Outside. Mietek’s kommando.
The three men go inside the chamber.
SAUL:
(in Hungarian, low)
Mietek?
ABRAHAM:
(in Hungarian, low)
That Polish worm.
SS GUARD 2
(in German, shouts)
Fast! +
Saul pulls out a body and drags it to the lift. As he comes
back Abraham and Hirsch are with him.
SAUL:
(in Hungarian, low)
What does the Greek look like? +
ABRAHAM:
(in Hungarian)
I don’t know.
Hirsch intervenes.
HIRSCH:
(in Yiddish, low, with +
gestures) +
I know him. He has two scars on
each side of the face. +
SAUL:
(in Hungarian, low)
He has a scar on both cheeks?
ABRAHAM:
(in Hungarian, low)
That’s what he says.
19.
Saul and Abraham pulls out two other bodies. Same route.
SAUL:
“Apikoyres”?
Abraham spots Biederman on their way back to the gas chamber. +
HIRSCH +
(in Yiddish) +
Marked by God. +
ABRAHAM:
(in Yiddish, low) +
Superstition.
SAUL +
(in Hungarian, low)
I have talk to him.
ABRAHAM:
(in Hungarian, low)
Stop this. +
Abraham goes to Biederman.
Saul, suddenly idle, looks at the two men. +
A DUTCH SS GUARD hits Saul on his face with his stick. His +
nose starts bleeding. +
DUTCH SS GUARD:
(in German)
Move! Move the pieces!
Saul tries to wipe off the blood. He grabs a new load and
carries it with someone else to the lift.
Instead of going back to the chamber, Saul catches up with
Abraham and Biederman as they head toward the narrow corridor
toward the exit area.
ABRAHAM:
(in Yiddish, low)
There’s a woman in Kanada. She has +
the package for us. Can you send +
someone for it? +
BIEDERMAN +
(in Yiddish) +
In two days. +
20.
ABRAHAM +
(in Yiddish, low) +
We don’t have days. They already +
started making a list of us. +
Biederman looks at Abraham, in a harsh way. +
BIEDERMAN +
(in Yiddish) +
Who told you that? +
ABRAHAM +
(in Yiddish) +
My guy. At the office. +
Silence. +
BIEDERMAN:
(in Yiddish, low)
First let’s take those pictures. +
Abraham stiffens. +
ABRAHAM:
(in Yiddish, low)
What pictures, Eli? We have no time +
for this. It’s our turn. +
A beat. +
BIEDERMAN:
(in Yiddish, low)
You think you can blow up this +
whole thing? +
ABRAHAM:
(in Yiddish, low)
Your pictures won’t bring an army
here to free us.
A pause.
BIEDERMAN:
(in Yiddish, low)
Get me a locksmith.
SAUL:
(in broken Yiddish, low)
I’ll do it.
ABRAHAM:
(in Hungarian, low,
surprised)
Do what?
21.
SAUL:
(in Hungarian, low)
What he wants.
BIEDERMAN:
(in Yiddish, low)
What’s he saying? +
SAUL +
(in Hungarian on a low +
voice to Abraham) +
Tell him. +
Abraham hesitates. +
ABRAHAM:
(in Hungarian, low)
You don’t even know. +
SAUL +
(in Hungarian, low) +
I have to get outside. +
ABRAHAM +
(in Hungarian) +
But he needs a locksmith, not you. +
BIEDERMAN:
(in Yiddish, low, to Saul)
You speak Yiddish?
Abraham looks at Saul.
ABRAHAM:
(in Yiddish, low)
Barely.
SAUL:
(in Hungarian, low)
Tell him I was a watchmaker. I can
be a locksmith.
Abraham translates reluctantly.
BIEDERMAN:
(in Yiddish, low, to Saul)
Come with me.
Abraham grabs Saul’s arm.
ABRAHAM:
(in Hungarian, low)
If you go, you’re on your own.
22.
Saul ignores Abraham and follows Biederman into the swarming
tunnel.
+
CUT TO:
10 I/E. KREMATORIUM - COURTYARD / KREMATORIUM GATES / FIELD -
DAY:
Saul follows Biederman out in the courtyard into the blinding
sun.
The air is filled with sounds, noises, as if we were in a
busy industrial zone.
BIEDERMAN:
(in German, to the guards)
He’s with me.
+
+
+
Biederman waves at a young man in striped trousers, who
hurries to them carrying a wooden case. His name is KATZ.
Followed by one GUARD, the three men cross the courtyard.
In the grove nearby, a new group of civilians is waiting to
go under the ground.
They stop in front of the gates, where two GUARDS are
standing.
BIEDERMAN (CONT’D)
(in German, to the guards)
They’re with me.
The three men follow the fence. Smoke rises above the field.
+
CUT TO:
11 OMITTED
12 I/E. KREMATORIUM WING - DOOR / FIELD - DAY
As they go outthe gates, they follow the wooden fence of the
Krematorium to another wing of the building, ending with a
door.
+
+
+
They enter the door. They are in a dark narrow corridor.
Saul looks out through the doorway to the grove near the
field in front of them.
+
+
A heavy, white-gray smoke rises in the air from the ground in
the field.
+
