The Grey Zone Page #2

This is the best kommando

we've had.

Alright.

You let them kinow that.

They don't trust me.

You're their doctor.

I'm their doctor

but they know what I do.

What do they do?

They work under gunpoint.

I won't tell them

what I don't believe.

That we'll let them live?

That you'll let any

of us live.

What happens to you has little

to do with me.

You're treated well.

Better than anyone.

You should let us know.

- They're not going to...

- lf you hear anything.

That's all.

Did you ever consider, Herr

Oberschaarfuhere, that these

headaches might be related...

Yes?

...to the increase, lately,

in the level of cargo.

Go on.

What I see in the courtyard, if

I just crack the window for some air.

Anyone would have diifficulty.

You shouldn't be looking

out of windows.

- I'm only suggesting...

- Yourjob is to diagnose.

Alright.

If I get upset, if my head aches,

it's because I drink too much.

Then don't drink so much.

That's right,

I won't drink so much.

But that too should stay

between you and me.

- I would never...

- That's right, you would never.

Because you're just

as disposable as I am.

- Herr...

- I don't care! Shut up!

I don't care.

We're each of us a part of it.

Once any of you decide

to live this way.

And you especially.

Yes, Herr Oberschaarfuhrer.

Once you make that choice.

About half are in.

Yes?

Max, you'll botch this.

We don't have any choice.

It started with them.

So a bunch of Poles

from Number 3 get to decide.

They get to stall it until it's right

for them, and it's our people.

Who is our people?

On the f***ing trains.

- Because they're Hungarian?

- Yes.

That's because Hungary's the only

country with any Jews left.

But that's your reason?

If we were burning Polish

Jews you wouldn't care?

If we were burning Polish Jews

we wouldn't be waiting.

What's another week

to these guys?

Another ten thousand Hungarians?

They don't care about us.

We're all after

the same thing, Max.

It doesn't seem like it.

Here he is.

Sorry.

It was hell getting over.

How is it over there?

They're locking us all in.

- Who said?

- Lopkowitz.

They're getting ready

to liquidate another section.

Which one?

I'd guess one of the Czechs. Better for

them, anyway. They're all starving.

Give me some vodka.

What's this?

Hungarian wine.

We got it in today.

Any gold?

They haven't come back yet.

Look here.

Check out the diamonds.

Lovely.

- I was gonna get it smelted, but...

- But what?

Smelt it.

Fine.

Looks like we got some god food in.

Smoked oysters, meats, a few cakes.

We should do alright tonight.

We hear you got

more machine guns.

- Who told you?

- Hoffman found out.

- Were you gonna tell us?

- Of course.

Doesn't seem like it.

He just said explosives.

No.

Why do you think I came?

Because Hoffman told you

to come.

No. I told Hoffman.

They were left inside the fence by

the partisans. And twenty grenades.

Who has them now?

We do.

So we don't give any more of ours,

you guys are better off now.

When did we ever need

from you?

So what's this business

about waiting?

- We have to re-coordinate.

- Why?

I don't like the way

you talk with me.

You don't like

the way I talk?

I don't like

the way he talks.

Wait, you don't like the way I talk?

It's difficult to understand?

Why are we re-coordinating?

Again.

- We have more guns.

- We had guns.

You think the partisans aren't

wondering why we've done nothing?

You think the women aren't wondering

with the powder they've got in?

- The machine guns.

- So?

What?

Escape.

Wait. Who? Us?

You think you think

we'll escape?

With guns.

So we kill more of them.

Destroy three of the crematorium.

And get out.

Is that what you're after?

If I get the chance,

f*** yes.

You tell them, if this is

about escape, we're out.

How can you speak

for all of us?

You gonna speak for yourself?

Are you serious?

What, you're gonna go back

to your normal life?

Forget that. The point

is it doesn't make any sense.

You live to tell.

You're not going to live.

You won't make it to the Vistula.

Others have made it.

Others from the camp,

not from the kommandos.

They'll give up on someone

from Buna, or the camp,

but not anyone who's been

inside the crematorium.

What we could tell they'll

turn Poland upside down.

If we want to accomplish anything,

it has to be one thing.

One end.

And that's the machinery.

You've got to tell them this.

And there's no time left.

Do they know that?

Kommando 8 lasted

three months and a week.

Not with this kind of cargo.

Even Moll admits...

Moll's not going to tell you.

And with them locking us in,...

Do you hear this?

You don't even speak German.

What the f*** does

that matter?

I speak enough.

And I speak Yiddish.

- You speak Yiddish?

- From the Poles.

You heard from the Poles!

Shut up!

Mussfeld told me they

are gettting ready to move us.

No group has lasted more

than four months.

- All he's saying is...

- I know what he's saying.

We could be massacred waiting,

like every other group,

thinking we're different.

Which'll be worse even

than trying to escape.

We can tell them

we can work this out.

But it has

to be the crematorium.

Then they can do whatever they want.

You can run to hight heaven.

But after we've done

the buildings.

I'd like a bottle

of that wine.

Give us the necklace.

Oh, c'mon.

It's good wine,

you f***ing Yid.

You won't get that smelted and it'll be of

no use. We can get something for it.

- Two bottles.

- F*** you.

Hoffman, give him two bottles.

Be careful.

They're liars.

What are they gonna lie about?

He wanted to keep the necklace.

He thinks he's going to live.

We're a f***ing diversion.

These are Jews.

You keep saying that, Simon.

You trust Jews anymore?

No one would make it?

Suppose even you do.

Do you want to look anyone in the face

if any of your family's even alive?

What you've done

for a little more life.

For vodka and bed linens.

Anja, listen to me,

you're gonna die anyway.

We're dead.

They'll find the powder.

Don't say anything.

No matter what they do.

Don't say anything.

I love you.

This process of disinfecting is of

vital importance to your health.

One louse can kill you.

Cleanliness brings freedom.

You're all fine.

The quicker you get undressed, the

quicker you'll be cleaned, settled,

and reunited

with your families.

Filthy liar.

Remember the number of the hook

you hang your clothes on.

He's a liar.

I can't believe it's

Jews doing this.

He's lying everyone.

He's a liar.

Stop it.

You should listen

to your wife.

Think what you want to think,

but don't cause trouble.

- I'm causing trouble?

- Please.

Look me in the eye and tell me

I'm not gonna be killed.

Hang your clothes on the hooks and keep

them separate from your neighbors.

I'm gonna die, but I'll have lived

longer than you ever will.

You're dead already.

Be quiet. You think you're

gonna change something?
