(through loudspeaker)
JUDEN! RAUS!
Mundek waits behind a wall, breathless.
UKRAINIAN SOLDIER
(through loudspeaker, in
Polish)
Jews, come out!
(silence)
It’s no use, surrender!
Ten ragged men dash out, machine guns BLAZING. Soldiers fall.
Hand grenades BLOW UP two vehicles.
At first stunned, the soldiers recover and MOW the Jews down.
A flame-thrower INCINERATES the building from which the
fighting Jews ran out.
Mundek leaps into a nearby storeroom.
INT. SEWER - SAME TIME
Socha and Szczepek walk quickly, as people rush by,
screaming, pushing, bumping. More distant GUNFIRE.
INT. GHETTO STOREROOM - CONTINUOUS
Mundek wades through the recesses of a double storeroom.
Through a hidden hole in the wall...
INT. STOREROOM - CONTINUOUS
He extracts a box and opens it. He withdraws a revolver,
checks for bullets and tucks it under his shirt.
INT. SEWER - SAME TIME
It is now full of panicked people, shouting, screaming,
GUNFIRE from above. Socha and Szczepek are pushed to the wall
as people fall into the water.
A YOUNG WOMAN holding a screaming baby clutches Socha.
YOUNG WOMAN
Help me, please...!
