The Grey Zone Page #3

- That's right, what does it matter?

- At least I'll die with my dignity.

- Morris.

- Stop it!

At least I'll die

with my dignity.

How'd you get through

with here with that?

What?

The watch, is what.

They'd have killed your whole car.

What does it matter?

See what you've done for yourself

now? Give me he watch.

Why?

Give it to me.

You're bathing.

Why do you need the watch

in there?

Get it from me after

of the Nazis will.

- Do as he says, Morris.

- We always do what everyone says.

I'm not giving you anything.

You're attracting

more attention.

Tell me, tell me I'm gonna live,

you f***ing Nazi.

Tell me I'm gonna live.

Morris, give him the watch.

He's a liar, everyone.

These Jews are all Nazi liars.

And now he wants

to steal my watch.

- Give me the watch!

- No.

All I want is the f***ing watch!

No!

No! Give him the watch!

Alright, let's keep it moving.

Remember what hooks you hang

your clothes on.

The hooks are numbered. You'll need

to return once you've showered.

Keep your shoes tied together by

their laces so you don't lose them.

The sooner you shower, the sooner

you'll be fed and reunited.

Move it, move it!

Keep moving inside.

Move it!

Move it! Move it!

David.

Stay.

David?

Do you want a drink?

No, thank you.

- You have work.

- Yes.

Always so young.

Adult siblings move away

from one another.

- How's it going?

- Alright.

He'll make twins?

With German women?

That's the goal.

What's this?

A gall stone.

What are you keeping it for?

He takes an interest

in such things.

- He collects them?

- I suppose.

In jars?

That's how I'm giving it to him. What

he does with it after is his business.

So, have you heard anything?

Heard anything?

- I mentioned last time.

- I told you...

Yes?

They don't speak to me.

You found your wife and daughter.

Who told you?

Does it matter?

I don't suppose.

You've been several times.

Brought blankets, medicine.

Yes.

In C-camp, is it?

- He gave you a pass.

- Yes.

What did you think

of it over there?

Think?

Did you tell them

what goes on here?

Of course not.

Do they have any idea?

How couldn't they?

Everyone talks.

- You denied it.

- I did.

It's best.

They're going

to be liquidating C-camp.

Who said?

Cuts in administration.

There's not enough food.

In the next two weeks.

We dispose of food.

The order is the order.

The entire section.

Two weeks?

That's what I said.

I'll speak with...

What does he have to do

with who stays and who goes?

What does he have to do...?

Because he gave you a pass?

I can assure you it

won't be allowed.

It will be easy to save them.

If there is an uprising

in this camp there will be a massacre

that will far outweigh

anything done to us.

These men will suffer.

That's a strange remark.

We let them live.

For a time.

Even if I...

they don't.

Someone will speak.

I want to know you'll help me.

If I'm spoken to.

Whatever you hear.

Yes.

Good.

As for your wife and daughter,

we must go to KZ Administration

and get them transferred.

How?

Find out which are

the safe convoys out.

They're sending some west

to the munitions factory.

Have them volunteer.

They will be chosen.

It's safe?

I'm telling you I will make it safe.

That's what I'll do for you.

They must keep it a secret,

though.

- Lf everyone volunteers...

- I know.

They save themselves,

that's all.

Just like you.

You and your gall stone.

Your gall stone of a Jew.

How did you get the powder

from the plant?

How did you get the powder

from the plant?

It doesn't matter how they

got the f***ing powder.

What we need to know

is where it's headed.

I'm asking her that.

You think I don't have ears?

You're asking her where it came

from. It came from the plant.

The plant wants to know.

Of course the plant wants

to know.

They should have wondered

that before it happened.

You'll kill this one, too before

she tells us who has it now.

Where was the powder headed?

Where was the powder headed?

This is what you want?

You're going to kill me anyway.

You won't be so lukcy.

We will do worse to your entire

block, after we're done with you.

Why don't you just gas them?

Revive her.

I got the girl.

You two got a date?

I said take the f***ing body.

Why are you up here?

There's a girl...

I said what are you doing

up here?

There's a young girl on that cart

who survived the gas.

She's still breathing.

She'll be burned alive.

We're taking this one.

What do you mean, taking?

I mean taking the body.

Let me get the hair.

I said we're taking her,

hair and all.

If she leaves with hair,

I need to know why.

She's a twin.

What's the trouble?

I need this body

for the Doctor.

So let him get the hair.

What is it with you people?

We're taking now, with the hair.

If she's a twin,

where's the other one?

The other one was caught

before she got on the lift.

And why was she killed?

I thought they were taken alive.

Are you saying I'm lying?

I've kept this unit alive

nine months.

What do I care?

So you're alive.

We're all alive.

We're all shitting gold.

Make your f***ing point.

I don't want trouble.

If you want trouble, send me down

to the Doctor with her head shaved.

Take her. What do I care.

Help them.

No, we've got her.

I said we f***ing have her.

This will foul everything.

It's blood on our hands.

It's a goddam distraction.

And what do we do with her?

We figure that out.

We'll have to hide her.

And not just from them,

but from some of us, too.

We do not have time

to be dealing with this.

She was inside.

It'll be and she'll never make it.

What are you thinking?

I'm not going to kill her,

alright?

Just think think if they found her

in the barracks, which they will,

because you'll never keep her

without it'll be worse.

How can that be worse?

Worse for her.

Forgetting

what they'll do to us.

She's not even conscious. She goes

the way she would have gone.

Meet us at the store room.

I can stop you, Max.

Stop me, then. Do it!

You know we're not killing her.

Where's Schlermer?

Down the corridor.

Where's she?

He won't bring her in until

he talks with the Doctor.

Why? Get him.

Who's gonna watch?

What's to watch?

There's no one in the hall.

He won't let anyone near her.

You'd better get her in here.

Go.

I know what you think.

It's not the same.

He's scared.

We'll put her on this table.

If anyone were to find out...

I know.

We're not murderers.

I know that.

We're sorry.

I hadn't been here long enough.

- I'm talking about...

- I know what you're talking about.

- Of course.

- It doesn't mean I'd act differently.

I've aborted suicides before

and would again.

- I understand.

- Anywhere.
