the front door where he says something to two of his guys
and leaves. The guys come in and start carting out anything
of any value: cash register, a chair, a loaf of bread...
EXT. CRACOW STREET - DAY
Max strolls along the sidewalk, browsing in store windows.
People inside and out nod hello, but they despise him, they
fear him.
Just as he's passing a synagogue, some men in long overcoats
cross the street. Einsatzgruppen, they are an elite and wild
bunch, one of six Special Chivalrous Duty squads assigned to
Cracow.
INT. STARAR BOZNICA SYNAGOGUE - SAME TIME - DAY
The Sabbath prayers of a congregation of Orthodox Jews are
interrupted by a commotion at the rear of the ancient temple.
Several non-Orthodox Jews from the street, including Max
Redlicht, are being herded inside by the Einsatz Boys.
They're made to stand before the Ark in two lines: Orthodox
and non. One of the Einsatzgruppen squad removes the parchment
Torah scroll while another calmly addresses the assembly:
EINSATZ NCO
I want you to spit on it. I want you
to walk past, spit on it, and stand
over there.
No one does anything for a moment. The liberals from the
street seem to say with their eyes, Come on, we're all too
sophisticated for this; the others, with the beards and
sidelocks, silently check with their rabbi.
One by one then they file past and spit on the scroll. The
last two, the rabbi and Max Redlicht hesitate. They exchange
a glance. The rabbi finally does it; the gangster doesn't.
After a long tense silence.
MAX REDLICHT
I haven't been to temple must be
fifty years.
(to the rabbi)
Nor have I been invited.
The Einsatz NCO glances from Max to the rabbi and smiles to
himself. This is unexpected, this rift.
MAX REDLICHT
(to the rabbi)
You don't approve of the way I make
my living? I'm a bad man, I do bad
things?
Max admits it with a shrug.
MAX REDLICHT
I've done some things... but I won't
do this.
Silence. The Einsatz NCO glances away to the others, amused.
EINSATZ NCO
What does this mean? Of all of you,
there's only one who has the guts to
say no? One? And he doesn't even
believe?
(no one, of course
answer him)
I come in here, I ask you to do
something no one should ever ask.
And you do it?
(pause)
What won't you do?
Nobody answers. He turns to Max.
EINSATZ NCO
You, sir, I respect.
He pulls out a revolver and shoots the old gangster in the
head. He's dead before he hits the floor.
EINSATZ NCO
The rest of you... ...are beneath
his contempt.
He turns and walks away. The other Einsatz Boys pull rifles
and revolvers from their coats and open fire.
EXT. CRACOW - DAY
In BLACK AND WHITE and absolute silence, a suitcase thrown
from a second story window arcs slowly through the air. As
it hits the pavement, spilling open -- SOUND ON -- and,
returning to COLOR --
Thousands of families pushing barrows through the streets of
Kazimierz, dragging mattresses over the bridge at Podgorze,
carrying kettles and fur coats and children on a mass forced
exodus into the ghetto.
Crowds of Poles line the sidewalks like spectators on a parade
route. Some wave. Some take it more soberly, as if sensing
they may be next.
POLISH GIRL
Goodbye, Jews.
EXT. GHETTO GATE - DAY
The little folding tables have been dragged out and set up
again, and at them sit the clerks.
Goldberg, of all people, has somehow managed to elevate
himself to a station of some authority. Armed with something
more frightening than a gun -- a clipboard -- he abets the
Gestapo in their task of deciding who passes through the
ghetto gate and who detours to the train station.
PFEFFERBERG
What's this?
Pfefferberg, with his wife Mila, at the head of a line that
seems to stretch back forever, flicks at Goldberg's OD armband
with disgust.
GOLDBERG
Ghetto Police. I'm a policeman now,
can you believe it?
PFEFFERBERG
Yeah, I can.
They consider each other for a long moment before Pfefferberg
leads his wife past Goldberg and into the ghetto.
INT. APARTMENT BUILDING, GHETTO - NIGHT
Dismayed by each others' close proximity, Orthodox and liberal
Jews wait to use the floor's single bathroom.
INT. GHETTO APARTMENT - NIGHT
From the next apartment comes the liturgical solo of a cantor.
In this apartment, looking like they can't bear much more of
it, sit some non-Orthodox businessmen, Stern and Schindler.
SCHINDLER
For each thousand you invest, you
take from the loading dock five
hundred kilos of product a month --
to begin in July and to continue for
one year -- after which time, we're
even.
(he shrugs)
That's it.
He lets them think about it, pours a shot of cognac from his
flask, offers it to Stern, who brought this group together
and now sits at Schindler's side. The accountant declines.
INVESTOR 1
Not good enough.
SCHINDLER
Not good enough? Look where you're
living. Look where you've been put.
"Not good enough."
(he almost laughs at
the squalor)
A couple of months ago, you'd be
right. Not anymore.
INVESTOR 1
Money's still money.
SCHINDLER
No, it isn't, that's why we're here.
Schindler lights a cigarette and waits for their answer. It
doesn't come. Just a silence. Which irritates him.
SCHINDLER
Did I call this meeting? You told
Mr. Stern you wanted to speak to me.
I'm here. Now you want to negotiate?
The offer's withdrawn.
He caps his flask, pockets it, reaches for his top coat.
INVESTOR 2
How do we know you'll do what you
say?
SCHINDLER
Because I said I would. What do you
want, a contract? To be filed where?
(he slips into his
coat)
I said what I'll do, that's our
contract.
The investors study him. This is not a manageable German.
Whether he's honest or not is impossible to say. Their glances
to Stern don't help them; he doesn't know either.
The silence in the room is filled by the muffled singing
next door. One of the men eventually nods, He's in. Then
another. And another.
INT. FACTORY FLOOR - DAY
A red power button is pushed, starting the motor of a huge
metal press. The machine whirs, louder, louder.
INT. UPSTAIRS OFFICE - SAME TIME - DAY
Schindler, at a wall of a windows, is peering down at the
lone technician making adjustments to the machine.
STERN
The standard SS rate for Jewish
skilled labor is seven Marks a day,
five for unskilled and women. This
is what you pay the Economic Office,
the laborers themselves receive
nothing. Poles you pay wages.
Generally, they get a little more.
Are you listening?
Schindler turns from the wall of glass to face his new
accountant.
SCHINDLER
What was that about the SS, the rate,
the... ?
STERN
The Jewish worker's salary, you pay
it directly to the SS, not to the
worker. He gets nothing.
SCHINDLER
But it's less. It's less than what I
would pay a Pole. That's the point
I'm trying to make. Poles cost more.
Stern hesitates, then nods. The look on Schindler's face
says, Well, what's to debate, the answer's clear to any fool.
SCHINDLER
Why should I hire Poles?
INT. FACTORY FLOOR - DAY
Another machine starting up, growling louder, louder --
EXT. PEACE SQUARE, THE GHETTO - DAY
To a yellow identity card with a sepia photograph a German
clerk attaches a blue sticker, the holy Blauschein, proof
that the carrier is an essential worker. At other folding
tables other clerks pass summary judgment on hundreds of
ghetto dwellers standing in long lines.
TEACHER
I'm a teacher.
The man tries to hand over documentation supporting the claim
along with his Kennkarte to a German clerk.
CLERK
Not essential work, stand over there.
Over there, other "non-essential people" are climbing onto
trucks bound for unknown destinations. The teacher reluctantly
relinquishes his place in line.
EXT. PEACE SQUARE - LATER - DAY
The teacher at the head of the line again, but this time
with Stern at his side.
TEACHER
I'm a metal polisher.
He hands over a piece of paper. The clerk takes a look, is
satisfied with it, brushes glue on the back of a Blauschein
and sticks it to the man's work card.
CLERK
Good.
The world's gone mad.
INT. FACTORY FLOOR - DAY
Another machine starting up, a lathe. A technician points
things out to the teacher and some others recruited by Stern.
The motor grinds louder, louder.
INT. APARTMENT - DAY
Schindler wanders around a large empty apartment. There's
lots of light, glass bricks, modern lines, windows looking
