CONTINUED:
Socha notices, jutting from an abutment: a RED FELT BOOT.
SOCHA
I can check over there if you want.
Bortnik nods, relieved.
Lamp aloft, Socha goes to the abutment. Glancing quickly back
at the others, his foot gently pushes the boot, encasing
Krystyna’s little foot, out of sight.
Socha’s lamp picks her out, eyes and mouth clamped tight,
hiding behind Paulina who’s pressed to the wall, her back
facing Socha. She shoots him a look of naked fear, presses
closer still. Pavel clings to her, saucer-eyed.
For an eternity, he stares at them, and the others, some
trembling, also pressed against the wall. Occasionally, his
eyes flick to Bortnik waiting expectantly. Finally:
SOCHA (cont’d)
(calls out)
Nothing here!
INT. CHAMBER 3 - MOMENTS LATER
Empty. The walls of the chamber seem to move as the bodies,
now in shadows, slowly peel away. Sobs of relief from the
women. A lamp is lit.
With one trembling hand, Paulina takes out of her mouth a
GLASS CYANIDE VIAL, with a skull and bones marking. She holds
her other hand out for Krystyna to place her vial.
Klara almost faints, but Mundek holds her up.
KLARA
I can’t take this! Mundek, you’ve
been up, take me with you!
MUNDEK
It’s dangerous...
INT. A ROOM - LATER
"IN DARKNESS" SCRIPT 39.
KLARA
Please, just for a few minutes. I’m
going mad!
Mundek and Klara enter the pillaged room. Furniture remnants,
thrown clothes, broken bottles. Klara squints at the window.
