SS GUARD: Come on! Hurry up!
Every vehicle must be searched.
Hey! Come on! Hurry up!
SS GUARD 2: Come on, move it!
GUARDS CONTINUE SHOUTING
Any news?
They haven't found them.
They made it out.
The guards have come off
the outer fence.
They haven't been able
to capture them.
They made it out.
LALI: Was it
Mordowicz and Rosin?
GITA: Yes.
Maybe they will tell the world
what is happening here.
LALI PRAYS IN HEBREW
They're using the pits again.
-SS GUARD: Now!
-Fucking hell, it stinks.
SS GUARD: Can you get it?
What is wrong with you?
SS GUARD: Get back in line.
I had a bad night's sleep.
SS GUARD: Eyes down!
Me too.
I keep asking for a mattress,
but fucking nothing.
SS GUARD: Come on!
SS GUARD 2: Eyes down!

BARETZKI: In line! Everyone!
That's it, move it!
Everyone get back in line.
That's it, move it.
BARETZKI:
This is your great story?
Have you told her
that you worked for the Nazis?
That you were paid by the SS?
You were
our number one tattoo boy.
Did you tell her that
you could sleep in your own bed,
had good food while
your friends were starving?
SOMEONE KNOCKS
Door's open. Coffee's ready.
Hello.
-Coffee?
-Oh yeah, thanks.
Did you tell her how much
I helped you see your girl?
How are you today, Lali?
LALI: Good. Yes.
I was thinking about
how after Nadya
and the children were murdered,
I was so sad.
But Baretzki needs me happy.
I'm his toy, to make him laugh.
I'll be back
in a couple of minutes.
Don't move from here.
I'm sorry I'm so sad, I
I'm just so
GITA PRAYS IN HEBREW
Lali.
Where is God?
God can't help us, Lali,
but we can help God.
We can show Him that
love still exists, even here.
Look at what we have.
Can you say the world
isn't beautiful right now?
Yes. You.
There were planes.
They weren't German.
Mordowicz and Rosin escaped.
Right now,
they are telling the world.
But for now, hold on.
See the beauty of your life,
even here.
There is good, and light.
Just look at it.
BARETZKI: Girl.
Come now.
There.
Thank you.
The more I drink this tea,
the more I believe
it tastes really good.
What's in this one?
Mint.
Chamomile.
At least
that's what I'm telling myself.
There.
-Done.
-Oh, thank you.
Oh.
That's fine work.
It's good.
Your mother would--
I'm sorry.
No, please, say it.
It's okay.
I want to hear it.
Your mother taught you well.
She would be very proud.
ESTHER: Excuse me.
Could I
borrow your needle and thread?
Yes, but please sew here.
I can't lose it. It's precious.
How are you settling in?
Okay.
Um
Do we get to see the men?
Sometimes we do.
Where are you working?
In the laundry.
I have to put this in here.
Esther, are you pregnant?
Does anyone know?
No one.
How far along are you?
Seven months, maybe eight.
Seven?!
Let me see.
MRS. HOFFMANOVA: Oh. So small!
ESTHER: It's the same
with my sisters.
Am I going to die?
Finish your sewing.
Nobody says a word about this
to anyone, understood?
Let me do it.
Watch out. Marta.
HANNA: Fucking Marta.
The cow knows.
I'll talk to her tonight.
With all due respect, Rebbetzin,
she'll need more
than a good talking to.
Yeah.
We'll get some more food
for Esther today.
MRS. HOFFMANOVA: You're right.
Thank you.
SS GUARD: Keep moving. Quickly.
DOOR OPENS
MARTA: Sit down.
Now tell Aunty Marta
about your latest project.
Busy bee.
The pregnant one.
Thank you.
I'm going to send her
to the infirmary.
We could keep her here.
She could stay here
during the day.
She needs rest.
Mm.
And if someone finds a prisoner
lolling about in bed
during the day?
I'd be shot.
GITA: Then it was me
who hid her.
Tattooist?
Someone is looking for you.
Listen.
You can stay here
during the day,
but you must hide,
and be very quiet.
Really?
Thank you.
Here.
Baby thanks you too.
Presents!
Lali. Mordowicz.
He's here.
You get two more
if you watch the door.
-Whistle if someone comes.
-Yes, boss.
-You'll be alright.
-Thank you.
Thank you for this.
Come.
Show me.
I tried to bite it off.
On the train.
No one here has seen this yet,
but I'm as good as dead
when they do.
LALI: You escaped. Months ago.
Where were you captured?
We made it to Slovakia.
No one could believe what
we told them was happening here.
They made us tell our story
over and over.
But when they did accept it,
they told us our testimony
would be sent to the Allies.
Are they coming?
I don't know.
We told them.
But you're back now.
I was arrested in Bratislava.
I gave a fake name.
I can't believe
you're back in this hell.
What you did was brave.
Thank you.
Here.
How is my Bratislava?
The Germans
have reached the city.
But you Slovaks
don't make it
comfortable for them.
LALI CHUCKLES
I don't want to hurt you
with this.
Just make it good.
I'll be looking at it
when I'm 80.
LALI CHUCKLES
MORDOWICZ WINCES
I gave him a rose.
HEATHER LAUGHS
Was it good?
It was very good.
Covered the old number,
so the SS never knew who he was.
What happened to him?
He lived to be an old man.
He was brave.
What he did
saved many, many lives.
Well,
that's another story that
the world needs to hear about.
What you did was brave, Lali.
BARETZKI: Bullshit.
-You were a yes-man.
-HEATHER: Okay.
Have you read it yet?
Huh?
HEATHER: Lali
The thing that's sitting here
on the table between us.
I haven't read it.
I was tired.
I like the talking.
Maybe we don't want
all of it written down.
Maybe we don't need a book.
-Others deserve it more.
-What do you mean?
I don't know It's better.
Just here, you and me.
The tennis is on in 15 minutes.
It's the semis.
Should be a good match.
HEATHER: Okay.
I bought the chips you like.
Lali.
I come here
two or three times a week
because this matters to me.
Okay?
I'm trying to write your story.
I've never done this before.
But it's not just
important for me.
It's important for the world
to have this story.
The world?
HEATHER SIGHS
Come, sit.
Okay, no, no.
I'll stay for the tennis.
But you have to read the draft,
okay?
And tell me what you think.
I'm committed to you.
Are you committed to me?
Yes. Yes, to you, Heather. Yes.
Do you promise?
I promise.
HEATHER: Thank you.
MRS. HOFFMANOVA: Wake up.
Wake up, all of you. Wake up.
ESTHER GROANS
Esther is having the baby.
-GITA: No
-Yes!
I need as many clean rags
as you can find,
and we need hot water.
Quickly!
PRISONER: What's happening?
Esther, good girl, good girl.
She has another month, at least.
No, this baby has other ideas.
She will be born tonight.
ESTHER GROANS
Yes, good girl, good girl.
I know you want
to yell the roof down,
but you must be quiet.
Gita, we'll need
Or a knife.

But everyone calls her Mimi.
HEATHER SIGHS
You see how incredible
these stories are?
These lives are extraordinary.
In the camp,
there were also good things.
People with good hearts.
It's what Gita always believed,
you know.
MRS. HOFFMANOVA: Esther.
We will hide the baby.
Attention!

GITA SOBS
Esther remarried
a very good man.
An engineer.
They live in Rotterdam.
She had more children.
Gita stayed in touch with them.
We have to get rid of this.
Help me put them in here.
We're burning them?
We've been ordered
to burn all papers.
Stand close to me.
Hold your hands up.
Listen.
There are plans being made
to evacuate the camp.
You'll be moved to another one.
You're going to walk there.
You may go near my village,
Poręba.
There is a rubber factory
just outside.
-Stay together!
-What about the block elders?
I don't know.
You have some protection here,
don't you?
You should speak to him.
They won't let us go.
They will kill us all.
What about you?
They will send
political prisoners home.
But they will get rid of as many
as they can in the meantime.
You understand?
Be careful.
Find my village.
Bring the other boxes out.
Do you know
what's going to happen to us?
No.
You haven't heard anything?
No.
Rumors.
For fuck's sake.
We get told something new
every day.
What? What are they saying?
I'm a junior officer.
They send me somewhere
and I fight.
I thought we would win this war.
That's what I was told.
They'll have a plan.
They'll never give up.
They'll have a plan.
Yeah.

You're a very good writer.
You have been listening
very carefully.
Thank you.

LEON: Someone said Austria.
I hear it's Mauthausen.
Who knows.
We can say goodbye
to this place.
I had some of my diamonds
from the camp.
I hid them under my tongue.
I was sent to another camp,
Mauthausen, for a few weeks.
Then another camp.
Everything was chaos.
I never saw Leon after that.
So one day,
we were working in the woods,
I saw a chance, and took it.
They never followed me.
For the first time
in three years,
I was free.

You see how incredible
these stories are?
These lives are extraordinary.
In the camp,

Esther remarried
a very good man.
An engineer.
They live in Rotterdam.
She had more children.
Gita stayed in touch with them.
We have to get rid of this.
Help me put them in here.
We're burning them?
We've been ordered
to burn all papers.
Stand close to me.
Hold your hands up.
Listen.
There are plans being made
to evacuate the camp.
You'll be moved to another one.
You're going to walk there.
You may go near my village,
Poręba.
There is a rubber factory
just outside.
-Stay together!
-What about the block elders?
I don't know.
You have some protection here,
don't you?
You should speak to him.
They won't let us go.
They will kill us all.
What about you?
They will send
political prisoners home.
But they will get rid of as many
as they can in the meantime.
You understand?
Be careful.
Find my village.
Bring the other boxes out.
Do you know
what's going to happen to us?
No.
You haven't heard anything?
No.
Rumors.
For fuck's sake.
We get told something new
every day.
What? What are they saying?
I'm a junior officer.
They send me somewhere
and I fight.
I thought we would win this war.
That's what I was told.
They'll have a plan.
They'll never give up.
They'll have a plan.
Yeah.

I hear it's Mauthausen.
Who knows.
We can say goodbye
to this place.
I had some of my diamonds
from the camp.
I hid them under my tongue.
I was sent to another camp,
Mauthausen, for a few weeks.
Then another camp.
Everything was chaos.
I never saw Leon after that.
So one day,
we were working in the woods,
I saw a chance, and took it.
They never followed me.
For the first time
in three years,
I was free.
