DEFIANCE Written by

 The film opens with on-screen text stating: "A true story". It is August 1941, and Nazi Einsatz-Gruppen (task forces) are sweeping through Eastern Europe, systematically killing Jews. Among the survivors not killed or restricted to ghettoes are the Polish Jewish Bielski brothers: Tuvia (Daniel Craig), Zus (Liev Schreiber), Asael (Jamie Bell) and Aron (George MacKay). Their parents are dead, slain by the local police under orders from the occupying Germans. The brothers flee to the Naliboki Forest, vowing to avenge their parents.
They encounter other Jewish escapees hiding in the forest, and the brothers take them under their protection and leadership. Over the next year, they shelter a growing number of refugees, raiding local farms for food and supplies and moving their camp whenever they are discovered by the collaborating police. Tuvia kills the local Auxiliary Police chief responsible for his parents' deaths, and the brothers stage raids on the Germans and their collaborators. However, Jewish casualties cause Tuvia to reconsider this approach because of the resulting risk to the hiding Jews. A long-time sibling rivalry between the two eldest brothers, Tuvia and Zus, fuels a disagreement between them about their future: as winter approaches, Zus elects to leave his brothers and the camp and join a local company of Soviet partisans, while his older brother Tuvia remains with the camp as their leader. An arrangement is made between the two groups in which the Soviet partisans agree to protect the Jewish camp in exchange for supplies.
After a winter of sickness, starvation, attempted betrayal, and constant hiding, the camp learns that the Germans are about to attack them in force. The Soviets refuse to help them, and they evacuate the camp as German dive-bombers strike. A delaying force stays behind, led by Asael, to slow down the German ground troops. The defense does not last long; only Asael and a camp member named Sofiya survive to rejoin the rest of the group, who, at the edge of the forest, are confronted with a seemingly impassable marsh. They cross the marsh with only one casualty, but are immediately attacked by a German platoon supported by a Panzer III infantry tank. Just as all seems lost, the Germans are assaulted from the rear by a partisan force led by Zus, which has apparently deserted the Soviet retreat to rejoin the group.
As the survivors escape into the forest, the film ends as on-screen text states that they lived in the forest for another two years, building a hospital, a nursery and a school, and ultimately growing to a total of 1,200 Jews. Original photographs of the real-life characters are shown, including Tuvia in his Polish Army uniform, and their ultimate fates are shared: Asael joined the Soviet Army and was soon killed in action, never getting to see the child he fathered; and Tuvia, Zus and Aron survived the war and emigrated to America to form a successful trucking firm in New York City. The epilogue also states that the Bielski brothers never sought recognition for what they did, and that the descendants of the people they saved now number in the tens of thousands.

<b>          FADE IN:
</b>
<b>          1 NEW YORK CITY - PARK AVENUE - NIGHT - 1982 1
</b>          A TAXI pulls over to a curb where an ELDERLY MAN waits with
          his MIDDLE-AGED SON in THE RAIN.

<b>          MIDDLE-AGED SON
</b>          (as they climb in)
          23rd and Lex.
          The CABBIE grunts a reply.

<b>          MIDDLE-AGED SON (CONT'D)
</b>          How ya doin', Papa, you doin'
          alright?

<b>          ELDERLY MAN
</b>          Fine, fine...

<b>          MIDDLE-AGED SON
</b>          This is just a check-up, okay?
          Doctor Katz says you'll outlive us
          all.
          (looks out the window)
          Traffic isn't bad. We should be
          back in time to watch the Mets.
          He notices his father is STARING, wide-eyed, at the cabby's
          HACK LICENSE. We glimpse only the last name..."Bielski."

<b>          MIDDLE-AGED SON (CONT'D)
</b>          Papa? .Papa, what is it?
          IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, the old man catches the furtive
          eyes of the cabby.

<b>          ELDERLY MAN
</b>          ...You. Can it be?
          The eyes in the mirror look away. And then back.

<b>          ELDERLY MAN (CONT'D)
</b>          Bielski. Can it possibly be?
          As we PUSH IN on the eyes in the mirror, we HEAR THE

<b>          DESPERATE RASPING SOUND OF PANTING.

</b>          Bombs EXPLODE all around as he passes dead bodies and BURNT-
          OUT VEHICLES. Without slowing he discards a WW II Red Army
          helmet, a field jacket, a heavy pack, anything that might
          impede his flight. He glances back up over his shoulder.
          The sky is filled with BOMBERS. He runs on.

<b>          4 THE VILLAGE OF NALIBOKI 4
</b>          A typical Eastern European shtetl. LOCAL POLICE help German
          Einsatzgruppen, mobile killing squads, round up Jews.
          PEASANTS beat them with sticks as they are herded into lines.
          One man tries to run and is beaten.
          Others look on, or look away with indifference as they are
          loaded onto waiting trucks.

<b>          5 TWO MEN HIDE IN THE NEARBY WOODS (ZUS & ASAEL BIELSKI) 5
</b>          We study their faces: a turbulent portrait of impotent rage,
          terrible fear, overwhelming grief, and secret relief.

<b>          ASAEL
</b>          Where are they taking them?

<b>          ZUS
</b>          --Shveig! Shveig!

<b>          BUT--

</b>          The man we last saw in flight (TUVIA BIELSKI) wearing the
          remnants of his uniform, slips down a cobble-stoned street.
          He ducks into a doorway as A PATROL passes by.

<b>          6A A REMOTE FARM 6A
</b>          Zus and Asael move warily through a barnyard. A tethered
          dog BARKS furiously. A farmer challenges them.

<b>          WALENCKI
</b>          (in Russian; subtitles)

<b>          WHAT DO YOU WANT?
</b>          Walencki brandishes a pitchfork.

<b>          ASAEL
</b>          (in Russian; subtitles)
          Some food...?

<b>          WALENCKI
</b>          They are looking for you people.
          The two brothers glance nervously around.

<b>          WALENCKI (CONT'D)
</b>          Get away from here! GO!
          ZUS, the older of the two brothers, takes a menacing step
          toward the farmer but his younger brother holds him back.

          As they retreat toward the woods, Zus warns the farmer.

</b>          We'll be back.

<b>          7 A BOURGEOIS APARTMENT -- DAY 7
</b>          Tuvia is getting dressed as AN ATTRACTIVE WOMAN -- his wife,
          RIFKA -- stands by the window, smoking a cigarette.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          And no news of my brothers?

<b>          RIFKA
</b>          They are used to trouble, they'll
          be all right.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          If you stay, you'll have to go to
          the ghetto.

<b>          RIFKA
</b>          I can get false papers and pass as
          a gentile. So can you.
          Tuvia shakes his head, no. He finishes dressing. Theirs
          is a relationship long past passion.

<b>          RIFKA (CONT'D)
</b>          Will you at least stay tonight?

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          I need to see to my family. Will

</b>          A PAIR OF LEGS lie motionless behind a trough. Beyond, A
          MAN'S TORSO. Zus and Asael stare in mute horror.

<b>          ASAEL
</b>          Papa-- Gottenyu...
          Flies buzz about dead LIVESTOCK. A WOMAN'S BODY lies nearby.

<b>          9 CONTINUED: 9
</b>          A table set for dinner. Candles lit. An open book. A
          NOISE from a cupboard. Zus grabs a hatchet.
          From the root cellar, a YOUNG BOY, 14, appears. His face
          is dirty and tear-streaked. They go to embrace him.

<b>          ASAEL
</b>          Aron.
          The boy (ARON) recoils. He is disoriented and WILL NOT

<b>          SPEAK.
</b>
<b>          9A EXT. MODEST MILL - MOMENTS LATER 9A
</b>
          Loaded down with possessions, Asael hurries back to the
          woods. Zus pauses long enough to pry the mezuzah from the
          door.

<b>          10 THE FOREST AT DUSK 10
</b>          Aron stares mutely straight ahead. Asael is shaking
          uncontrollably and crying. Zus is at a loss what to do.

          Aron freezes. SOMETHING is moving in the trees. He
          crouches. A dark blur. An animal? It moves off. He follows.

<b>          TUVIA

<b>          ZUS
</b>          Or perhaps you'd prefer I shove
          them up your ass.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Where are you from?
          The young man glares at Zus. Then, to Tuvia:

<b>          YOUNG MAN #1
</b>          Horodyszcze.
          The name freezes Zus in his tracks. His wife is there.

<b>          PERETZ
</b>          We haven't eaten in two days. My
          name is Peretz, this is Jacov.

<b>          JACOV
</b>          Two days ago there were three
          thousand Jews in Horodyszcze. Now
          there are fifty. Me and him, we
          hid in a wall.

<b>          ZUS
</b>          You know a woman there, Sonia
          Bielski?
          The men look at one another.

<b>          JACOV
</b>          We knew her.
          Zus can hardly bring himself to ask the next question.

<b>          ZUS
</b>          ...There was a child.
          Jacov shakes his head. Sorry.
          Zus leans his head against a tree. After a moment he begins
          to BEAT HIS HEAD against it until BLOOD pours down his face.

<b>          ASAEL
</b>          (to the newcomers)
          His family.
          Tuvia puts his arms around his brother. Zus's shoulders
          begin to heave. Soon his body convulses with deep wracking
          sobs. He is absolutely unself-conscious in his grief.

<b>          ZUS
</b>          Mama. Papa.
          Their heads are close together, their faces wet with tears.

<b>          ZUS (CONT'D)
</b>          Why not us?

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          I don't know.

<b>          ZUS
</b>          I thought they'd be safe. I should
          have been with them.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          No.

<b>          ZUS
</b>          I could have protected them.
          Tuvia just holds him. He, too, is crying quietly.

<b>          ZUS (CONT'D)
</b>          Better to be rabbits? Hunted?
          Hiding? No...
          Zus breaks free of Tuvia's embrace and walks away.

</b>          We are looking for partisans.

<b>          JACOV
</b>          What is the name of your otriad?
          Tuvia laughs ruefully.

<b>          ASAEL
</b>          What is an 'otriad?'

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          An armed brigade.

          The Russians are fighters.

<b>          JACOV
</b>          --But you need a gun to join them.
          Without a gun you are nothing.
          They sabotage railroads and kill
          Germans.

<b>          ZUS (O.S.)

          A stand-off. Zus stares back at him. The struggle for

          Zus FIRES. Jacov and Peretz follow suit. The man goes

<b>          48 THE MOTORCYCLIST IS GARROTED 48
</b>          by the wire. His bike goes sliding away as the Bielski's
          swarm him, KILLING HIM with the last bullet from the
          Mahkarov.
          ZUS rummages through the downed-bike's saddlebags. He finds
          a beautiful KNIFE and lifts it up triumphantly.

<b>          PERETZ
</b>          Look--!
          MORE HEADLIGHTS fast approaching.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Hide! Everyone!
          They all scramble back into the ditch, dragging the dead
          courier with them.

<b>          49 A GERMAN STAFF CAR 49
</b>          approaches. As its headlights pick up the downed motorcycle,
          it slows and pulls off to the side --

<b>          50 DIRECTLY OVER THE DITCH 50
</b>          Where Tuvia and Zus are concealed. From within the car, we
          hear VOICES SPEAKING GERMAN. A YOUNG PRIVATE gets out and
          walks up the road to investigate.

<b>          PRIVATE
</b>          (in German; subtitled)
          It's one of ours, but no one is
          here. Maybe he was drunk?
          From the car, an SERGEANT yells a reply.

<b>          SERGEANT
</b>          (in German; subtitled)
          Move it off the road before the
          convoy passes. I'll report the
          sonuvabitch.
          As the soldier drags the bike off the road, AN OFFICER steps
          out of the car and lights a cigarette.
          He's followed by the Sergeant. He carries a Schmeisser
          SUBMACHINE GUN dangling from his shoulder.

<b>          51 IN THE DITCH - ZUS 51
</b>          can see the Sergeant's feet peeking out over the ditch.

<b>          A STREAM OF PISS

<b>          THE PISSING SERGEANT
</b>          catches the flicker of MOVEMENT below, SEES Zus lying in
          the ditch. Stunned, he tries to zip up his fly. It catches.
          ZUS LEAPS UP brandishing the KNIFE. He's on the Sergeant
          before he can get the gun off his shoulder. Stabbing him
          through his greatcoat, the BLADE BREAKS OFF IN HIS HAND.
          MEANWHILE, THE LIEUTENANT drops his cigarette, reaching
          under his coat for a pistol. Tuvia TACKLES him. The GUN
          skids away. They roll around on the road, CLAWING, PUNCHING,
          BITING. Tuvia SLAMS the man's head against the pavement.

<b>          52 UP THE ROAD 52
</b>          The Private sees Asael and Peretz coming at him. Jacov
          follows with his rifle. The Private turns and runs down
          the road. They give chase.

<b>          53 FROM INSIDE THE CAR 53
</b>          Another OFFICER is in the back seat with A WOMAN. He reaches
          for his gun, stands up in the seat and begins FIRING WILDLY
          at Tuvia. TUVIA ROLLS UNDER THE CAR, avoiding the burst.
          MEANWHILE, ZUS USES THE HANDLE OF THE KNIFE to BREAK the
          Sergeant's nose. He RIPS the SCHMEISSER away, firing point-
          blank into the man, whose greatcoat CATCHES FIRE.

<b>          INSIDE THE STAFF CAR
</b>          The officer takes close aim at Tuvia, just as ZUS TURNS THE
          MACHINE GUN on the car BLOWING OUT THE WINDOWS, killing the
          Officer and the woman -- and saving his brother's life.

<b>          54 MEANWHILE, DOWN THE ROAD 54
</b>          Jacov fires at the Private, MISSES. The man keeps RUNNING.
          Jacov fires again. MISSES AGAIN.
          FINALLY his THIRD SHOT hits him in the leg. The Private
          keeps running. Limping now.

<b>          JACOV
</b>          I got him!
          Peretz and Asael can now catch up to the soldier.

<b>          FROM FAR AWAY
</b>          We SEE them knock the Private to the ground, KICKING him
          until Jacov catches up to them and FIRES A FINAL SHOT.

          for miles.

<b>          ZUS
</b>          He was pissing on my head.
          Zus is high from the killing, covered in the dead man's
          blood. He begins calling out orders.

<b>          ZUS (CONT'D)

          He presents him with the Schmeisser as if it were a trophy.
          Tuvia accepts it, checking the gun efficiently.

<b>          ZUS (CONT'D)
</b>          I'll check his pockets for more

<b>          JACOV
</b>          They were on their way to a party!
          They toss one bottle to Zus and another to Tuvia.

<b>          56 UP THE ROAD 56

          leading A CONVOY.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Into the fields! RUN!
          Tuvia pulls Peretz off the road, but Jacov reloads his rifle
          and begins to FIRE at the approaching trucks.

<b>          TUVIA (CONT'D)
</b>          Jacov, NO!
          THE TRUCKS STOP. Troops pour off and begin RETURNING FIRE.
          Jacov is CUT DOWN by a MACHINE GUN.
          Peretz, Zus, and Tuvia race into the WHEAT FIELD. It's not
          clear if they can make it into the woods. A FLARE IGNITES
          OVERHEAD turning the wheat fields BRIGHT WHITE in flickering
          incandescence. Malbin is almost paralytic with fear.
          ASAEL doesn't know which way to run. He plunges into the
          WHEAT FIELD...but ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD.
          ONE OF THE TRUCKS drives forward, CUTTING HIM OFF, using
          its SPOTLIGHT to reveal him. FIFTEEN SOLDIERS start after
          him.

<b>          59 SEEN FROM ABOVE 59

<b>          TUVIA, ZUS AND PERETZ
</b>          Have almost made it into the woods when PERETZ IS HIT. He
          falls. Tuvia and Zus pick him up and half-carry, half-drag
          him into the sanctuary of the forest.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Zus. His rifle.
          Zus races back to pick up Peretz's weapon.

<b>          60 ASAEL, MEANWHILE 60
</b>          has realized his mistake. He tries to circle back toward
          the woods but the SOLDIERS move to CUT HIM OFF. He is fast,

</b>          Asael...
          He rips the rifle from Zus's hands. For a moment we think
          he's going to go back after him. Instead, he wedges the
          rifle into a tree-trunk and takes careful aim...

<b>          THE SPOTLIGHT SHATTERS
</b>          Plunging the field into darkness as the flare burns out.
          ASAEL seizes the moment and dives to his knees, disappearing
          from view and CRAWLING NOW rather than expose himself.
          AN IRRIGATION DITCH is nearby. Frantically he DIGS into
          the soft mud on its banks. As he scrapes his hands raw, he
          can HEAR his pursuers drawing near, CALLING OUT to one
          another.

<b>          CUT TO:
</b>
<b>          62 THE FOREST CAMP - DAWN 62
</b>          A somber mood. Tuvia watches someone scrape at the porridge
          congealed in an empty pot. OTHERS stare listlessly into
          space. ONE MAN chews on a piece of leather, ANOTHER sucks
          on an old chicken bone.
          Zus, meanwhile, is in the middle of a nasty drunk from the
          captured schnapps. Nearby, Aron shares his ration of bread
          with Rachel. Little enough, but a connection is made.
          Peretz lies nearby. Malbin is trying to comforts him.
          There is nothing that can help him. Malbin looks to Tuvia.

<b>          SHIMON
</b>          They thought you were bringing food.
          Tuvia just stares at him.

<b>          SHIMON (CONT'D)
</b>          Did the farmers stop you?
          Still no answer from Tuvia.

<b>          SHIMON (CONT'D)
</b>          They had guns? Dogs?

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          No.

          Tuvia says nothing. Nearby, a child cries in hunger.

          you must take responsibility for
          it.

          Around them, the beseeching eyes of so many hungry faces.

<b>          SHIMON
</b>          I think you do.

<b>          VOICE
</b>          You are the Bielski's?
          A MAN stands in the clearing. BEN ZION GULKOWITZ is tall,
          well muscled, a rifle strapped over his shoulder.

<b>          ZUS
</b>          How'd you get past the Lazar?

<b>          BEN ZION
</b>          Who?
          Zus stands unsteadily, then lurches into the woods, leaning
          on an occasional tree for support. He finds the erstwhile
          sentry --LAZAR -- ambling toward him.

<b>          ZUS
</b>          You shit! You worthless shit!
          Zus punches him, knocking him the ground. In a sloppy,
          drunken frenzy, Zus SLAPS him again.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Enough!

<b>          ZUS
</b>          He walked right by you! Someone

          Tuvia pulls Zus off him.

          (to Lazar)
          Get up! Get up!

<b>          ZUS
</b>          MISTAKE! We cannot make mistakes!
          As Zus goes for Lazar again, Tuvia roughly PULLS HIM OFF.
          Zus goes flying, tripping over, landing on his ass.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          That's right, Zus. No mistakes.
          Like last night.
          (looks at him)
          First they will torture Asael...and
          then they will hang him.
          Tuvia walks away, leaving his brother on the ground.

<b>          63 BACK IN CAMP 63
</b>          Tuvia rejoins them. Ben Zion looks up at him.

<b>          BEN ZION
</b>          You are Tuvia Bielski.

</b>          You know me?

          Ben Zion is besieged by questions about friends and family.

<b>          MIRIAM
</b>          Pardon me, you are from Vilna. My
          sister lives on Passaya Street.

<b>          MIRIAM
</b>          My poor sister...dear God, no...
          Meanwhile, Peretz's MOANING ceases. A woman grumbles:

<b>          WOMAN #1
</b>          We'd be better off in the ghetto...

<b>          TAMARA
</b>          At least here we are safe.

</b>          There at least we had hope...

<b>          SHIMON
</b>          No. Here, we have hope.
          A FEW MORE join in, grumbling their dissatisfaction. Others
          take the opposite position. These are Jews, after all, and
          arguing is a revered sport and a pastime. It escalates.

<b>          WOMAN #1
</b>          We are hungry!
          This is a defining moment for Tuvia. When at first he
          speaks, it is awkward, ineffectual amid the growing tumult.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          I know we have no food. But
          tomorrow... tomorrow will be another
          mission.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          That was a mistake! But the mistakes
          we made will not be made again!
          More objections. Tuvia must raise his voice to be heard.

<b>          TUVIA (CONT'D)
</b>          We could be here a long time. And
          we have to prepare.

          (talking over their

          A small voice speaks up.

          He looks from face to face. Filthy, ravaged, many of them
          with tears in their eyes. This is what they need --
          leadership, faith, something to believe in.
          And gradually, his tentativeness and awkwardness is replaced
          by something else. A new voice. From deep inside.

<b>          TUVIA (CONT'D)

          so as to not visit the same farms

          what I mean is... We are not thieves.
          (his resolve growing
          with every word)
          Or murderers. We may be hunted
          like animals but we will not become
          animals.
          (looks at them all)
          We have all chosen this -- to live
          free, like human beings, for as
          long as we can. Each day of freedom
          is an act of faith. And if we die
          trying to live, at least we die
          like human beings.
          His mission statement. A vision of their future.

          The shift in power between them has occurred. Tuvia has
          emerged as the undisputed leader.

          an enormous spider's web glistening with dew.

          a bunker ("zemylanka"). There's a more permanent kitchen,
          a wash trough, a clothesline. Pinchas tends his goat.

</b>          We notice a FEW NEW FACES. Their number has exceeded twenty.
          Among them are two lumbering, dark-skinned men, ARKADY and
          MOTL LUBCZANSKI. Ben Zion is showing Lazar and the other
          newcomers how to clean a weapon.

<b>          BEN ZION
</b>          This is not a gun. It is Bar
          Kochba's spear. It is Ehud's sword.
          You fix the patch to the rod--
          They do as he instructs.

</b>          I lost my patch.
          ARKADY LUBCZANSKI whispers contemptuously to his brother,

</b>          The village idiot.
          Zus shoves Arkady out of the way and approaches Lazar, who
          cowers. But rather than abuse him, Zus removes the patch
          from the rifle and hands it back to him.

          mustache. He leads a horse-drawn CART laden with milk cans.
          ZUS AND THE OTHERS rise up out of the ditch. In Russian:

<b>          ZUS

          Good morning, friend. Getting an
          early start to market? Could you
          possibly spare us a bit of milk?
          Zus' tone is belied by the rifle in his hand.

<b>          KISSELY
</b>          This is what I'm required to give
          the Germans. If I don't meet my
          quota they'll shoot me and my family.
          Zus is tempted to shoot him himself.

</b>          Lazar, you can see it's us, you

</b>          By my best calculation, today is

          Malbin can't believe this. He rolls his eyes and digs in.
          One of the NEWCOMERS has brought a violin. He begins to
          play. A bittersweet melody. People stop talking and listen,
          eyes filling at this reminder of a sweeter, civilized time.
          Ben Zion has left the new arrivals and approached Tuvia.
          He looks grave. Tuvia immediately knows something is wrong.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          What is it?

</b>          The new ones, they are from

</b>          They say...She was killed last week.
          (at a loss)
          I'm sorry.
          Tuvia nods. No outward display of grief. An awkward moment.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Thank you for telling me.
          (changes the subject)
          We have to dig a trench around the
          new zemylanka. If it rains I'm
          afraid water will seep in.
          Tuvia clearly cannot deal with his news.

          Tuvia nods. He is deep inside himself.

<b>          SHIMON (CONT'D)

          When at last Tuvia speaks, it is almost to himself.

</b>          She was a beautiful woman. But
          cold. Not a day went by she didn't

<b>          ELDER #1
</b>          We are not so naive as to believe
          they won't kill some of us. But
          all the Jews? It makes no sense.
          They need us to work. In the
          factories. The labor camps.
          Tuvia notices A PRETTY GIRL standing on a chair in order to

          likely to die out there with you in

          Tuvia looks at them, rubbing his face in concentration.

          A handmade sign reads, "New Jerusalem." Chaya is re-united
          with her parents. She holds Asael's arm and looks up at

          Oppenheim slips on a pair of spectacles and studies the
          mechanism. It sticks. He digs into his pocket and produces
          a small file and expertly begins to shave the metal spur.
          He tests it, then hands it back to Tuvia, who CLICKS the

          newlyweds but rather at Lilka, who has washed and let down
          her hair. She glances up and meets his eye, then looks
          away.
          As Asael crushes the traditional glass underfoot:

</b>          The driver SLUMPS over the wheel and the truck careens lazily
          off the road.
          GERMAN SOLDIERS spill out, blindly returning fire as Zus's
          fighters SWARM down the hill. Several are HIT right away.

          GERMAN SOLDIERS TAKE COVER behind the overturned truck
          effectively RETURNING FIRE. Several partisans are KILLED.
          ZUS PULLS A POTATO MASHER GRENADE from his belt and RUNS AT

          of rifles and ammo. THE JEWISH FIGHTERS join in the looting.
          Boots, coats, blankets, etc.
          Zus approaches the wounded and captured German prisoners,
          kneeling in surrender, hands behind their necks.
          Without hesitation, he shoots them, point-blank, one after

          overcoats and as many layers as they can wear, Bella and
          Chaya break ice in a pot. Tamara takes FROZEN LAUNDRY from
          a line.
          In a bunker, Malbin and Shimon shiver under a shared blanket.
          Women and children stare blankly into space.
          Riva unwraps rags from a man's foot and examines his toes,
          BLACK with frostbite.
          Asael and Tuvia are making their rounds. They pass Aron
          and Rachel who have built a snowman which they top off by
          adding a German helmet with a bullet hole in it.

          Tuvia considers for a moment.

          Tuvia sets off. In every face he passes, there's misery
          and accusation in the shivering bodies and trembling blue
          lips. Children stare at him with sunken, haunted eyes.

          with each swallow. Viktor finishes a bottle, tosses it.

<b>          VIKTOR

          Zus looks at him, bleary-eyed, confused. Viktor explains:

          bottles.

          He cracks open another bottle and takes a big slug.

          Lilka tries to step back but the dog LUNGES, snapping its
          jaws. It's terrifying. She looks desperately for help.
          Suddenly the dog LEAPS at her. She turns away and it rips
          a sack from her shoulder, knocking her down. Viciously it
          begins tearing the sack apart in search of the food within.
          A SHOT RINGS OUT. The dog drops.
          Lilka holds the smoking gun in two hands. Grimly, she pockets

          He starts to get out the cab. Tuvia reaches into his pocket,

</b>          Hey, Arkady This isn't soup, it's
          piss.

<b>          ARKADY
</b>          I will piss on your head and you 
          will say it's raining. Eat it. 
          The rest of Lubczanski's cabal laughs.
          TUVIA emerges from his bunker. The first thing he sees is
          Asael, whose face is BATTERED AND SWOLLEN.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          What happened?
          Asael just looks over at the food line -- where Arkady has
          grabbed Chaya by the waist -- to the delight of the others.
          Tuvia strides over to them.

<b>          TUVIA (CONT'D)
</b>          What is this?

<b>          ARKADY
</b>          New policy. Fighters get better
          food.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Against my orders...

<b>          ARKADY
</b>          You are no longer Commander. Sorry.
          Tuvia nods, considering his remark for a moment.

<b>          AND THEN TAKES OUT HIS PISTOL AND SHOOTS ARKADY IN THE CHEST!
</b>          He then turns the gun on Motl and the others -- they
          literally cower in fear. He raises his voice to those
          watching.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          As long as I am the leader of this
          group, you will obey my commands. 

<b>          THERE WILL BE NO MORE COMPLAINING!

<b>          NOTHING. ANYONE WANTS TO LEAVE,

          Every morning we get up and we work. 
          WE WORK. In the snow and the cold 
          and the dark. Tomorrow we begin to 
          build ten new zemylanka, we double 
          the number of food missions. 
          ...We work.
          (looks down at Arkady)
          Take his body into the woods and
          leave it for the wolves.
          He turns and walks away. As he passes the food lines, people
          subtly move out of his way and whisper after he is gone.

</b>          I--- It was when I was escaping. A
          man with a gun stopped me. I thought
          he was a Partisan. He told me to
          follow him and he took me to this
          place...
          The memory overwhelms her. She begins to break down.

</b>          Inside me something broke....I wanted
          to die. Every night I have

          He hears A SOUND. Three GERMAN SOLDIERS are putting

</b>          Lazar spotted another patrol.
          They're getting closer.
          Tuvia nods. Suddenly, he HEARS a strange sound. An animal?

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Do you hear that?

<b>          134 IN THE WOMEN'S ZEMYLANKA 134

          A baby boy in this mud manger. Riva and Lilka have assisted.
          Tamara holds her new baby to her breast.
          Suddenly -- the blanket serving as a door is SWEPT ASIDE.
          TUVIA stands there. Tamara cries out and shields the baby.
          Lilka springs up and pushes him back outside.

          Tamara and the man who fathered
          this child are responsible for its
          fate.

<b>          LILKA
</b>          She was raped by the Nazis.
          Tuvia closes his eyes. He is tired of being in charge,
          tired of being the arbiter of other peoples' fate.

<b>          LILKA (CONT'D)
</b>          ...You tell us to hold onto our
          humanity. Not to become like

          bringing a life into this world of
          suffering and death. It's our only
          hope.
          Tuvia is undone by her intensity. The very nearness of
          her. The smell of her newly-washed hair. The glow of her
          skin.
          He looks at her. And nods in surrender.

<b>          LILKA (CONT'D)
</b>          Thank you, Tuvia.
          She kisses him. A chaste kiss of gratitude.
          She pulls back and they look into each other's eyes.
          The next kiss is something entirely different.

<b>          LILKA
</b>          It doesn't matter. If I had stayed

          Soon it is a chant: "Justice! .Justice!" Tuvia looks at
          their faces. Only months ago they were decorous, civilized.
          Now they are hungry, almost feral. Murderous.
          Bella has been silently watching. She steps into the circle,
          looks down at the terrified German man.

<b>          BELLA
</b>          My son's name was David. David

          She swings with all her might. The others watch with a mix
          of thrilled horror and perverse delight. A line has been
          crossed. Riva steps forward, holding a large shovel.

          The group closes in, obscuring our view of the body. Aron

          Asael looks at Malbin and Shimon. They are undone by what
          they have witnessed. Tuvia walks away.
          Behind them, the group separates -- staring at the lifeless
          body on the ground. And then they look at each other, their
          blood lust sated, beginning to reckon with what they have
          done. What they have become.

          nod to each other but do not speak. It is excruciating.
          Tuvia and Viktor walk into the woods. Zus waits with other
          BODYGUARDS as Asael joins them. Zus wears a Nazi jacket.

<b>          ZUS
</b>          He doesn't look good.

<b>          ASAEL
</b>          I could say the same about you.

</b>          Let's just say the former owner no

          Zus winks. The other bodyguards stare impassively.

          Wolnicky stores ammunition for us

          He slaps Asael fondly on the cheek and rejoins his comrades.

          Not a very flattering likeness.
          Too Jewish.
          Viktor rejoins his bodyguards, turns back for a last word.

<b>          VIKTOR (CONT'D)
</b>          Have your men in my camp by tonight.
          He walks off. Asael takes the wanted poster from Tuvia.

<b>          ASAEL

</b>          You're deliberately sacrificing
          them so we can remain safe?

<b>          VIKTOR
</b>          No. So we can keep fighting.
          Everyone must sacrifice in the

          sentimentality is heart-warming,

          Shimon is sitting nearby with a group of children. He looks
          pale. His cough is worse. He is very ill.

<b>          SHIMON
</b>          ...but the children of Israel were

          said, 'Do not trust in me, trust in

          And so tomorrow we celebrate the

          Tuvia stares at them, a curious expression on his face.
          Malbin comes to stand beside him.

</b>          --He left before Pharaoh could stop
          them.
          Now Malbin understands. He looks at Shimon.

</b>          You want to move them all? The
          old, the sick. They'll never make
          it.
          It isn't the first time Tuvia has consigned people to their
          death, and apparently it won't be the last.

          Sacks and cooking equipment is tied onto impromptu packs.

          Riva pairs each of the elderly with a child. Tamara tucks
          her newborn under her coat.
          The SOUND of the approaching aircraft grows LOUDER. People
          look up, shielding their eyes. Then from out of the sun,
          two ominous silhouettes:

          people and bodily drags them to cover.
          STRAFING 20MM CANNON chew up the ground.
          Several people are hit before they can reach cover. Lilka
          herds everyone she can into:

<b>          145 A BUNKER 145
</b>          where people crowd in like sardines. Chaya and Riva gather
          children around them. They hear the WHISTLE of an incoming
          shell....BOOM! Dirt from the roof rains down on them.

<b>          146 BOMBS BEGIN TO RAIN DOWN 146
</b>          Dirt and debris everywhere. AN INCENDIARY SHELL HITS high
          in a tree. Its branches burst into flame.
          An hysterical woman leaps out of a bunker and is BLOWN APART.

          Tuvia races into the maelstrom to help the wounded.

<b>          AN EXPLOSION KNOCKS HIM DOWN

          Malbin runs off. Asael helps Tuvia to his feet. A nearby

          to disappear into the forest.

<b>          A SUDDEN SILENCE DESCENDS - EVERYONE LOOKS TO THE SKY

<b>          158 BACK AT THE CAMP 158
</b>          The rear guard action can't hold out for very long. Tree
          by tree, they begin to fall back.
          Asael fires blindly into the murky shadows. The SOUND of a
          man crying out.
          Then Levine is hit. Miriam pushes him out of the way and
          TAKES OVER. She expertly kills several assault troops who
          appear out of the woods.
          The rest of the attackers TAKE COVER.

<b>          159 WITH THE FLEEING GROUP 159
</b>          Malbin waits anxiously for Tuvia, clutching a map.

<b>          MALBIN
</b>          (struggling to control
          his panic)
          This swamp here...goes...for miles.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Show me.

<b>          160 BACK AT THE CAMP 160
</b>          Lazar runs from tree to tree, keeping up a steady stream of
          fire. He is surprisingly brave. Until A GRENADE flies out
          of the woods and lands at his feet, killing him instantly.
          The Assault Troops have begun to outflank them. Asael is
          suddenly in jeopardy. Sara sees the danger.

<b>          MIRIAM
</b>
<b>          GO!
</b>          Miriam keeps their ATTACKERS pinned down as the two men
          race for new positions. Then she is hit. She keeps firing
          anyway, her finger locked on the trigger even as she is
          dying.
          More troops begin firing from their flank. Asael has no
          choice but to break off. They race into the woods.

<b>          161 BACK TO THE FLEEING GROUP 161
</b>          Tuvia hears the guns go silent. This, too, has meaning.

<b>          162 A RISE REVEALS THE IMMENSITY OF THE KRASNAYA GORKA SWAMP 162
</b>           Malbin stares at what lies ahead.

<b>           MALBIN
</b>           Oh, my God...

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Are the others back yet?
          (Malbin looks
          stricken; he shakes
          his head)
          ..Asael?
          Malbin shakes his head once more. Asael is not coming back.
          Chaya begins to weep. Riva comforts her.

<b>          SHULMAN
</b>          We've got to keep going!

<b>          BELLA
</b>          The Germans will be here any minute!

<b>          MALBIN
</b>          (to Tuvia)
          Do we wait...a while?

<b>          MORDECAI
</b>          We could hide...

<b>          MAN #3

<b>          MOTL
</b>          Yes. Fight!

<b>          SHULMAN
</b>          That's crazy!
          Tuvia is in hell. If he waits for Asael, he risks them all
          being caught. Suddenly it all falls apart. Tuvia sinks to
          his knees as if his legs can no longer bear his weight.

<b>          MALBIN
</b>          Tuvia--?
          Tuvia can't speak. He has no more answers. Nothing to
          say. He stares at the impenetrable swamp. The end of the
          line.
          The sudden vacuum of leadership is felt by them all. They
          stare at one another, anxious and rudderless.

<b>          WOMAN (ZOE)
</b>          My father cannot make it.

<b>          RONA
</b>          There are snakes--
          Tamara's newborn is crying. She tries to comfort it. An
          old woman stares at the swamp in terror.

<b>          MAN #1 (FROHMAN)
</b>          The children...

<b>          SHULMAN
</b>          We'll put them on our shoulders.

<b>          BELLA

          Oppenheim is petrified. Rona is crying.

<b>          MALBIN
</b>
<b>          TUVIA--
</b>          And still Tuvia is silent.
          More arguing. A general MURMUR of dread is rising.
          Malbin goes to kneel beside Shimon, who is covered in sweat --
          undone by the forced march.

<b>          MALBIN (CONT'D)
</b>          What's wrong with him?

<b>          SHIMON
</b>          (fighting for breath)
          ...He... ..is... ..tired.
          Malbin hears something, looks up.

<b>          LILKA
</b>
<b>          COME--
</b>          He shakes his head.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          You have a weapon?
          She shows him her revolver. He checks the clip, then looks
          into her eyes.

<b>          TUVIA (CONT'D)
</b>          Use it on yourself before you let
          them take you.
          She nods gravely. Suddenly a VOICE interrupts.

<b>          VOICE
</b>          Why are we stopping?
          Everyone turns. It's Asael. Back from the dead. He hands
          off a wounded comrade to Riva's care.

<b>          ASAEL
</b>
<b>          (WILD-EYED)
</b>          They're coming!
          (to Tuvia)
          Why aren't we moving?
          Tuvia looks up at him, lost. Almost helpless.

<b>          ASAEL (CONT'D)
</b>          We must keep going!

<b>          TAMARA
</b>          In there?

<b>          RONA
</b>          It is impossible!
          More murmuring. Asael raises his voice.

<b>          ASAEL
</b>          Nothing is impossible! What we
          have done is impossible!
          The murmuring quiets.
          Asael meets Tuvia's eyes. He is literally willing his older
          brother to be strong for them, as he has been, time and
          again.

<b>          ASAEL (CONT'D)
</b>          God will not part these waters. We
          will do it ourselves.

<b>          ASAEL (CONT'D)
</b>          (turning to the man
          beside him)
          Take the rope from your pack.
          (confused; he obeys)
          Now, you....give me your belt.

<b>          SHULMAN
</b>          We don't have enough rope.

<b>          ASAEL
</b>          We'll link arms. Make a chain. A
          human chain.

<b>          MOTL
</b>          What are you talking about?
          Tuvia is deeply moved. His little brother has become a
          man. Once more, he finds his voice.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Each person takes care of the other.
          (meeting Asael's eye)
          .Give him your belt.
          Asael nods at Tuvia gratefully. The group is hushed,
          apprehensive. Then:

<b>          ONE MAN
</b>          Removes his belt and offers it to Asael.

<b>          ANOTHER STANDS, HOLDING HIS BELT
</b>          And then another. One by one they offer them. There is
          something quietly heroic in the gesture.
          Tuvia looks at the group, looks away, fighting back emotion.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          No tracks on land. Get back in.
          It is almost impossible to make any progress. Especially
          when one is weak and malnourished.

<b>          162C IN A DEEP BOG 162C
</b>          The mud sticks to their clothes, faces. Soon they are
          indistinguishable from their surroundings.
          When one person sinks in the muck, it takes three to get
          him back on his feet. The column slows.
          Tuvia gestures for them to keep moving. They can't.
          Literally cannot. He begins to physically push them on.
          Sometimes harshly. Eventually they are moving again.

<b>          163 A GHOSTLY LANDSCAPE 163
</b>          Gnarled bare trees shrouded in mist. They trudge forward,
          their expressions wan and empty. Tuvia find Malbin and
          pulls him aside.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>
<b>          (WHISPERING)
</b>          How much farther?
          Malbin shrugs his shoulders. Who knows...?

<b>          163A THE WATER IS ALMOST HEAD HIGH 163A
</b>          Parents hoist children onto their shoulders, hold weapons
          overhead as they claw at tall reeds to propel themselves
          forward, step by tortuous step.
          SHIMON clings to a tree. His wracking cough is terrifying
          and he is deathly pale.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Come...
          Shimon can't catch his breath, he just shakes his head, no.
          He can't go on. Tuvia half-drags, half-carries him onward.

</b>          They rest, eat what little food is left. A litter carrying
          Shimon is deposited on dry ground. He is barely alive.

<b>          MALBIN
</b>          Is he...?
          Tuvia shakes his head. It's only a matter of time. The
          Spotter Plane drones overhead.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Take off your glasses. Reflections.
          Tuvia moves off to check on the others.

<b>          MALBIN
</b>          Shimon, listen to me, the physical
          plane is just an illusion. Only
          the spiritual plane is real.

<b>          SHIMON
</b>          (fighting for breath)
          No. The physical plane is where
          man acts to redeem himself.

<b>          MALBIN
</b>          You've redeemed yourself enough,
          you should shut up now.

<b>          SHIMON
</b>          Look who's talking about shutting
          up... I need to tell you something.

<b>          MALBIN
</b>          (leans closer)
          What is it?

<b>          SHIMON
</b>          You shouldn't think so much. The
          world around you is beautiful.

          This world?

          Tuvia has come to sit beside Lilka. She leans into him.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          We're lost.

<b>          ZUS
</b>          For how long?
          Panchenko's orders are never to be questioned.

<b>          PANCHENKO
</b>          Until you are ordered to withdraw.

<b>          ZUS

          Panchenko looks at Gramov, who stands nearby cradling a
          submachine gun.

<b>          PANCHENKO
</b>          Comrade Gramov will enforce
          discipline, if necessary.
          Gramov smiles. The implications are clear: nobody retreats.

          Panchenko wheels his horse and gallops off. Zus and his
          men take cover in the woods.
          In the distance we can HEAR the unmistakable SOUND of
          approaching armor. Lova kneels beside Zus.

          With a shaking hand, Zus tries to light a Molotov cocktail
          but his matches are wet. He reaches into his pocket for
          more. Instead he finds the mezuzah that was once affixed to
          his family's door.
          As he stares at it, the SOUND of the approaching tank grows
          louder.

          freezing and exhausted. Some cannot control their shivering.

<b>          SHULMAN
</b>          What's next...Sinai?
          Tuvia can't help but laugh. Soon they are all laughing.
          It ripples throughout the group. Joyous. Contagious. An
          overwhelming feeling of relief.
          They are safe.
          Tuvia lies on the ground. All the adrenaline has suddenly
          left his body. Then Aron appears, tugging at his sleeve.
          Shimon is asking for him.
          Tuvia kneels down beside his teacher, whose eyes are closed.
          Malbin is weeping quietly. Who will he argue with?

          He closes his eyes.
          It's too much for Tuvia. Hard as he tries, he cannot stop
          the tears from filling his eyes.

<b>          170 SUDDENLY -- UP THE RIVERBANK 170
</b>          Trees begin to FALL OVER -- as if pushed by a dinosaur.

<b>          A PANZER TANK
</b>          emerges onto the banks, less than a quarter-of-mile away.

<b>          ITS TURRET BEGINS TO SWIVEL
</b>          The menacing gun turning in their direction.

<b>          171 THE GROUP IS CAUGHT OUT IN THE OPEN. 171
</b>          THE TANK ROARS FIRE. The first round EXPLODES among them.
          Several are killed.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Back to the river!
          He pushes people down. They cling to the banks, cowering.
          THOSE WITH WEAPONS take cover, using the embankment as if
          it were the lip of a trench.
          They RETURN FIRE -- old men, young women, even some children.

<b>          172 A SQUAD OF GERMAN INFANTRY ADVANCES 172
</b>          behind the tank, using it as protection.
          Aron kills one. But the Germans are well-trained. They
          direct a withering fire -- forcing the partisans to keep
          their heads below the embankment.

<b>          BUT THE TANK IS UNSTOPPABLE
</b>          It turns its attentions on the riverbank -- its first round
          SAILS OVERHEAD, sending up a huge geyser of water.
          But the next round PLOWS INTO THE EARTH, tearing a huge
          chunk of earth and killing two of the brigade.
          TUVIA grabs a satchel and begins filling it with grenades.
          He throws the satchel over Malbin's head, grabs his arm and
          races, crouching low, beneath the lip of the riverbank.
          Asael provides covering fire. So do Lilka, Chaya and the
          women alongside the men.

<b>          UP AHEAD
</b>          A stand of trees hides Tuvia from view as he climbs out of
          the river and heads into the forest. He pulls Malbin down
          just as A SQUAD OF GERMAN INFANTRY approaches and begins to
          set up a heavy machine gun.

</b>          Tuvia POPS UP behind them, spraying them with his submachine
          gun. He then turns the heavy machine gun on the infantry
          advancing behind the tank -- to devastating effect.
          But now, the tank turns its attention to Tuvia. Its machine
          gun begins to chew up the forest, forcing Tuvia to take
          cover.
          Without pausing to think, Malbin grabs a grenade from the
          satchel and races toward the tank.
          It falls pitifully short, exploding harmlessly as Malbin is
          cut down.

<b>          173 TUVIA IS NOW ISOLATED AND PINNED DOWN 173
</b>          Bullets tear chunks out of trees as he tries to take cover.

<b>          THE TURRET SWIVELS IN HIS DIRECTION
</b>          It is only a matter of moments before he is dead.

<b>          WHEN SUDDENLY FROM OUT OF THE WOODS
</b>          Zus and the rest of Jewish fighters emerge, firing on the
          run. Without regard for his own life, Zus charges.
          The German infantry is caught in a cross-fire as the Bielski
          brigade climbs out the river, firing wildly.
          Zus guns down the tank commander manning the machine gun
          from the open hatch. Jumps onto the tank and DROPS A GRENADE
          inside. An EXPLOSION of BLACK SMOKE BILLOWS.
          Zus stands up amid the billowing smoke. He sees Tuvia who
          is staring back at him.

<b>          174 BOTH GROUPS MEET - THE DESTROYED TANK SMOLDERS NEARBY 174
</b>          Asael is the first to reach Tuvia, who is carrying the German
          assault machine gun.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Only weapons and ammunition! Spread
          the word.
          Tuvia hands him the machine gun.

<b>          ASAEL
</b>          Anything else?
          Tuvia looks at him. Is he fucking with him? Just a little.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Go on.
          Lilka is carrying a small child.

<b>          TUVIA (CONT'D)
</b>          Lilka, please help. We've got to
          get the injured into the forest.

<b>          LILKA
</b>          What about the dead?

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Everybody gather your things! We
          have to get out of the open!
          Nearby, Aron removes the machine from the tank and hands it
          to Zus. Bella approaches. Zus embraces her.
          Tuvia seizes one of the German rifles. He yells to Shulman.

<b>          TUVIA (CONT'D)
</b>          Shulman! Weapons only! Tell them.

</b>          (throwing the weapon)
          You've been promoted.
          Congratulations!
          Tuvia turns, sees Bella with Zus. They see him. Zus hands
          Bella the machine gun from the tank and approaches.

<b>          TUVIA (CONT'D)
</b>          Where is the rest of your unit?

<b>          ZUS
</b>          Good question.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          You are going back?

<b>          ZUS
</b>          No.
          They look at each other. So much unsaid. No time to say
          it.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          We've got to build a new camp.
          Zus nods.

<b>          ZUS
</b>          Perhaps you have room for one more?

</b>          Tuvia reaches out his arms and they embrace fiercely.

<b>          175 IN THE DEEP WOODS - LATER 175
</b>          They walk in silence. Lilka comes to walk beside him,
          resting her head on his shoulder as they walk.
          Tuvia looks up at the shafts of light slanting through the
          towering trees, as if allowing himself to appreciate its
          beauty for the first time.
          Suddenly, he stops, listening, puzzled.

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Don't you hear it?

<b>          ZUS
</b>          What...?

<b>          TUVIA
</b>          Nothing. Isn't it beautiful?
          We HOLD on Tuvia. He has aged ten years in one.

</b>          But for now he allows himself a brief moment of satisfaction.
          We might even see the ghost of a smile. But it is short-
          lived as Asael appears by his side and we see concern once
          again clouding his face. Another problem to attend to.
          And as THE CAMERA BEGINS TO PULL AWAY he is already hurrying
          to catch up with the others.
          As they all disappear from sight into the sheltering darkness
          of the woods, these words appear on screen:

<b>          THEY LIVED IN THE FOREST FOR TWO MORE YEARS.
</b>
<b>          IN THEIR NEW CAMP THEY BUILT A SCHOOL, A HOSPITAL, A NURSERY.
</b>
<b>          AND STILL MORE CAME TO FIND THEM.
</b>
<b>          AT THE TIME OF LIBERATION, TWELVE HUNDRED WALKED OUT OF THE

<b>          ASAEL JOINED THE RUSSIAN ARMY AND DIED SIX MONTHS LATER.
</b>
<b>          ZUS AND TUVIA EMIGRATED TO THE UNITED STATES.
</b>          In the taxi, THE ELDERLY MAN thrusts his hand through the
          slot in the Plexiglas window separating him from the driver.

<b>          ELDERLY MAN
</b>          Here is money. I can get more. So
          much more. Take it, please.

<b>          CAB DRIVER
</b>          No, no...
          Indeed, when the CABBIE speaks, though the voice is older
          and somewhat frail, we recognize it as Tuvia's.

<b>          ELDERLY MAN
</b>          What else can I give you, do for
          you?

<b>          AGED TUVIA
</b>          Nothing, it isn't necessary.
          Tears stream down the elderly man's cheeks.

<b>          ELDERLY MAN
</b>          We are alive because of you.
          (looks at his son)
          My children. His children. So many.

<b>          THE CAB PULLS AWAY FROM THE CURB INTO THE RAIN -
</b>
<b>          MIDDLE-AGED SON
</b>          Papa, who was that man?
          The Elderly Man watches the cab pull away, wiping his eyes.

<b>          ELDERLY MAN
</b>          That wasn't a man. That was an
          angel.
          As the cab pulls away, the CAMERA CRANES UP until it is
          lost in an anonymous sea of traffic. These words appear on
