Uprising Page #6

-Tosia, Arie, let's go.

Grab the guns and ammunition.

Hurry, grab the guns!

For the first time,

we have stopped the deportations.

For the first time,

the enemy knows who we are as a people.

They know that we will resist.

They know that we will fight back.

They know they will pay

for their mass murder.

What they don't know, is how long,

how hard, and how successfully we'll fight.

In fact, we'll light a torch of resistance,

and it will burn so brightly...

...that others everywhere will be inspired

to resist as well.

For Moshe, for Michael, for Leon...

...for Ariel, for Zee...

...and for Clara...

...who sacrificed their

lives for our dignity:

A moment, please,

of reflection and of silence.

I have good news to report.

Faced with ferocious Jewish resistance,

the Germans have surrendered.

Hitler has apologized

for all the inconvenience.

The Jews have won.

-I should notify the Allies.

-What for?

What have they done for us?

What I like about the zoo is the

animals. They won't turn you in.

What about him?

That Polish monkey there?

He's okay. He used to

date my cousin Ida.

This letter goes to Klepfisch

as soon as you leave.

Follow my lead.

Sorry.

I was just being protective.

If you'd like to be my boyfriend,

that's all right with me.

I'll be on going on these missions,

and if I don't come back...

...I'd like somebody to know

that I didn't come back.

Stop.

Sir...

...this man died on the Aryan side.

I have orders to take him

to the Jewish cemetery.

What's in the box?

A Jew named Izzy.

Open it.

-The casket?

-Open it, now.

All right, sir.

Get that away from here!

Yes, sir.

Good work, Izzy.

You were a good stinker.

Did Arie say anything?

He said there are more on the way.

But for now, fifty pistols

and two rifles.

But now, I must attempt

an even more important mission:

Procreation.

So that the Fuhrer will have one

more ghetto fighter to deal with.

"Attempt" is the right word.

My father always said:

"Study hard, get a degree,

so you won't have to dig ditches."

The Home Army is impressed

with our actions.

It's just a start.

I hope.

Throw it quickly!

You both want to stay here to fight.

But what are we going to fight with?

One of you must go.

Arie's sources are probably in hiding,

terrified he might talk.

Arie won't talk.

Arie will not talk.

We know that. They don't.

-Kazik, can we get him out?

-It'll be difficult.

Can we do it?

-What'll it cost?

-It's not matter of money.

You must focus on reconnecting

with Arie's sources.

Come on, decide.

-You know the Aryan culture.

-You have a better face.

I know too many people, I'll be recognized.

You know the language.

My language is obviously foreign.

-What if someone asks where I'm from?

-What if I'm denounced?

What, you'll flip a coin to decide?

Come on, Yitzhak.

You go, bring us the weapons we need.

Look at this.

You look fine,

you look like a Polish businessman.

Here, if anyone asks you,

you came to buy shirts, okay?

The guards have been greased.

Look at this suit--

-It's all we could find on short notice.

-It's ridiculous.

You look fine. Really.

Nice ankles.

Your documents...

...and your new identity, Witold.

It's good work, Marek.

Frania will take you to the other side

and bring you to Tosia...

...who'll arrange for you

to contact the necessary Poles.

-Where is Frania?

-Over there with Julian.

-She's one of our very best.

-Good.

I'll be watching your back.

That makes me feel much better.

I'm just across the street.

Luck.

-How is he?

-He's not going to win any beauty contests.

Welcome back. You all right?

I've been better.

-Conserve your strength. Rest.

-Mordechai--

You'll fight later, just get better.

I need to ask you....

I didn't tell them anything.

Rest.

-Kazik, how did you get him out?

-We did nothing.

The Gestapo made a mistake

and accepted our bribe.

Even when I believe you,

I think you're making it up.

That's a vote of confidence for you.

A 1929 Lafite Rothschild.

Flawless.

A bouquet that will last a century.

Have yourself a sip, Dr. Fritz Hippler.

You won't regret it.

Do I lie?

Is it not flawless?

Yes, it's very good.

Good?

It's not good.

This is exquisite.

I liked your movie, The Eternal Jew.

It was relentless,

as the French would say:

Impitoyable.

"Without pity."

The Eternal Jew.

What a terrifying title.

A big nose, fruity. What do you think?

I agree.

You're not a wine aficionado, are you?

No, not really.

It's a Jewish wine,

made by a Jewish viticultor...

...Rothschild.

Surprising, isn't it?

Enough about wine.

In confidence...

...you've spent time

around Col. Von Sammern...

-...haven't you?

-Yes.

Tell me about him.

Where should I start?

With the engagement on January 18th,

when his troops were first fired upon...

...by the subhumans of the Jewish sector.

German soldiers are massing

outside the Ghetto by the hundreds.

-Caliber?

-9 mm.

One German, two Germans,

three Germans....

-Caliber?

-7.62.

Julian, how did you get the rifle?

My eyesight.

Julian!

I don't miss.

One German platoon.

-Zygmunt?

-7.92.

Everyone's in place.

Do you hear this? They're singing.

The bastards are singing.

Go, get down.

Bring Dr. Hippler here.

Hit the tank on the hedge! It's open!

Why are you filming this?

I've been assigned by Goebbels

to film this operation.

He says the film of these engagements

will outlast us all.

Victory will outlast us, this is not victory.

It depends where you put the camera.

Did he think he could waltz his army

into the sector?

Like sightseers on holiday?

All is lost.

The troops have retreated,

many are dead or wounded.

I know. I was there.

We must respond

with overwhelming force immediately.

From the Reichsfuhrer.

Reichsfuhrer Himmler...

...promised Hitler a Warsaw free of Jews

by his birthday, tomorrow.

Do you understand?

And if other Jews are emboldened

by this turn of events...

...if other sectors initiate their own

uprisings, it spreads to the Poles?

You see the implications?

See the cause for concern?

Under orders of the high command,

you are relieved of your post forthwith.

And to avoid...

...any unnecessary strain between

German-Austrian factions in the SS ranks...

...the order for your execution

has been withdrawn.

You are dismissed.

-We're still here. Who would've bet on it?

-Now we have real weapons to fight with.

Julian, well done.

Look.

Our little nation.

Did you ever think in your lifetime,

you would see this?

What is he doing?

Either he's showing his troops

he's not afraid...

...or he really likes his table.

Give those out to the officers,

good for their nerves.

How can you sleep at a time like this?

Easily.

Dr. Hippler.

Yes, sir.

I don't care where you put the camera,

just don't film the flags.

But it makes for a better story.

They show what our soldiers

had to overcome to achieve victory.

-Gen. Kruger was explicit--

-You are not to shoot the flags.
