"Do you like sweets, Molly Elizabeth?" "Well, uh..." "I think there are some caramels in my coat pocket." "I always keep some there for my grandchildren." "Ah." "I can't find any." "Well, my wife will bring some when she comes." " Are you Zev?" " Yes." "Can I open your letter?" "Uh-huh." " Whoa, you're rich!" " What?" "Who's Max?" "Max?" "I'm not sure." "Wait." "Why don't you read the letter to me out loud?" ""Zev, there are some difficult things you must know." ""Firstly, Ruth has passed away." ""She had cancer." ""She loved you and you were with her, holding her hand, at the end." ""Secondly, you have dementia." ""Recently you have been forgetting many things."" "That's normal." "Old people always forget things." "Yeah." "Yeah." ""You and I have a similar history." ""We are both Auschwitz..." " Auschwitz." "Auschwitz." " "Auschwitz survivors." ""Look at your left arm, you were prisoner 98814." ""When the war ended," ""I promised myself" ""I would find the men responsible." ""Working with Simon Wiesenthal," ""I have helped to capture dozens of former Nazis" ""all around the world."" " What's a Nazi?" " Nazi." "Nazi." "A bad person." "MAX:" "Six months ago, God smiled upon me when you moved to the senior housing community." "I immediately recognized you from Auschwitz, although you did not remember me." "We are the last living survivors from our prison block." "Besides me, you are the only person who could still recognize the face of the man who murdered our families." "Simon Wiesenthal insisted that all war criminals be given public trials." "However, we cannot give Wallisch that opportunity." "Even if there was enough proof, he, like us, would probably die before he could be extradited to Germany." "We have agreed that Otto Wallisch must die." "You must kill him." "MOLLY: "You promised to go once Ruth died." ""You promised me and you promised Ruth."" "You did a very good job." "Thanks." "Who's Ruth?" "My wife." "I thought she was bringing me candy." "I thought so, too." "Yes, I need to go to Holiday Inn Express 3961 Lake Tahoe Boulevard." " South Lake?" " Yeah." "That's over an hour away." " Oh, that's..." "I have money." " Hop in." "(PHONE RINGING)" " Hello." "Zev?" " Yeah." " (EXHALES DEEPLY)" " Thank God." "Where are you?" "Zev?" "Tahoe." "You understand what you must do?" "There's only one left." "Yeah, I understand... what I must do." " Morning." " Good morning." "I'd like to check out, please." "Thank you." " You hurt your hand?" " Oh, yes, yes." " It's..." "Well, I can move." " Good." "Okay, that'll be $106.20." "I think I will have enough money for the taxi." "Oh, uh, we take credit cards, too." "Yeah." "Thank you." "CHARLES:" "Tahoe?" "What the heck is he doing in Tahoe?" "No, I'm just picking up a rental now and I guess I'll just drive up there." "Yeah." "Oh, look, can you try and find the name of the taxi company that picked him up?" "Thank you." "(DOORBELL RINGING)" " (ZEV CLEARS THROAT)" " Can I help you?" "Rudy Kurlander, he lives here?" " Yes." " Can I speak with him?" " He's still sleeping." " Oh." "Well, could I wait for him to... wake up?" "It's important." "What's this about?" "Well, it's private." "And he knows me, he knows me." "I knew him a long time ago." " Come on in." " Oh, thank you." "Thank you." " Do you want a cup of coffee, Mr..." " Guttman." "Yes, coffee would be nice." "Thank you." " Uh, just black." " Take a seat in the living room." "I've got a pot brewing." "That's from our family reunion a couple years ago." "Oh. (CHUCKLES)" "You have a big family." "My father likes to say he fielded a soccer team." " (LAUGHING)" " I'm his youngest." "How old was your mother?" "She was a lot younger." "It was his second marriage." " Thank you." " Can I ask you a question, Mr. Guttman?" "Does you being here have to do with Auschwitz?" "Yes." "My father's not gonna want to talk about that." "Oh." "I understand." "Would you like to join us for breakfast, Mr. Guttman?" "I'm making baked apple pancakes." "I'm not very hungry." "Thank you very much." "I won't bother you for long." "Are you sure?" "It's an old family recipe." "Mmm." "Yes, I am sure, but thank you just the same." "If you'd excuse me, I am just going to run up and tell Dad you're here." "Yeah, yeah." "(PLAYING TUNE)" "(DOOR OPENING)" "Uh, who are you?" "Oh, I am Zev." " Hi, Zev." " Inge." "(CONTINUES PLAYING TUNE)" "Who is that?" "Well, it's an old friend of your grandfather." "You like Wagner?" "Yes." "I have always loved Wagner." "My daughter said someone I knew from Auschwitz was here." "But a survivor should not like Wagner, no?" " (CHUCKLES)" " You can't hate music." "I, uh, didn't recognize your face in those pictures." "But... (SPEAKING GERMAN)" "Your voice... has not changed." "(GERMAN) I knew you would come to find me one day." "Zev's your friend, Poppy?" "Inge, please go back into the kitchen." "My friend and I need to discuss some things." "I have not forgotten you." "Please..." "let us go outside." "I do not want my family to hear..." "what we have to say." "It has been a long time... since anyone knew who I was." "I cannot even remember when." "Over the years people have looked at me and I think they know, but they never do." "Or maybe they were just too scared to say anything." "Sometimes, I come out here and speak my name." "I talk to myself." "I remind myself of who I was." "It is the only way to know I existed... before I became who I am now." "Well, living a lie is not a life." "I always knew you would find me." "It has been too long." "We are old men now." "Take your hands off of me, Otto." "Excuse me?" "I said, "Take your hands off of me."" "(SCOFFS) You called me Otto." "I think you're confused." "No, your name is Otto Wallisch." "You were a Blockführer at Auschwitz." "And you killed my family." "Are you crazy?" "You've lived a lie for so long you've convinced yourself it is true." "I..." "I do not understand." "Let me help you... understand." "(DOORBELL RINGING)" "It's like we're running a hotel." "Go tell Pop-Pop breakfast is ready." " Who is it?" " My name's Charles Guttman." "I think my father's here." "Hi, I'm so sorry to bother you, but I was told that a taxi dropped my dad off here a little while ago." "Yeah, he's outside with my father." "Thank God." "(SCOFFS) He's been missing for a week." "Missing?" " I had no idea." "Come on." " Thank you." " Dad?" " Oh, my God." " Mommy?" " Please do not be frightened." "Don't be scared." "Dad, why don't you, uh, lower the gun?" " Charles?" " Yeah." " What are you doing here?" " Uh..." "Dad, put the gun down." " Put down the gun, Dad." " No." "No." "Not until he tells the truth." "Why are you doing this?" "Tell them who you are." "Please, stop this madness." "Tell them what you did." " Leave them alone, please." " English!" "I beg you." "I want them to understand what you're saying." "KRISTIN:" "Dad, what is he talking about?" "Do not listen to him." "He is crazy!" "Ach so?" "(GASPS)" "You have a very easy choice." "You can tell the truth and she lives, or you can lie and watch her die." "You have three seconds." " One." " Please stop." " Two." " Please, just shoot me." " Dad, stop it!" " Three." "Okay." "Okay." "(SOBBING) Okay." "(SNIFFLING)" "During the war," "I was not a prisoner." "Louder." " During the war I was not a prisoner." " Louder!" "During the war I was not a prisoner!" "(SNIFFLING)" "I was a Nazi." "I was SS." "I was a Blockführer at Auschwitz." "KRISTIN:" "Did you kill people?" "Yes." " You killed people, Poppy?" " How many people did you kill?" "I don't know." "Many." "ZEV:" "And now tell them your real name." "My name is..." "Kunibert Sturm." "No." "Your name is Wallisch!" "No, it's Kunibert Sturm." "You are Otto Wallisch!" "No." "You!" "You are Otto Wallisch!" "You're lying. (SCOFFS)" "No." "It's the first time I haven't lied in 70 years." "You are Otto Wallisch." "I am Kunibert Sturm." "We were both Blockführers." "No... (STAMMERS)" "I was a prisoner." "Look at your arm." "You are number 98814." "I am 98813." "We tattooed each other." "It was our only way to escape." "Dad?" "Is that true?" "No, it's all lies." "It's all lies." " (SNIFFLING)" " It's not true." "Lies?" "How could you forget?" "You took the name Zev because it means wolf." "You said we were wolves!" " (SPEAKING GERMAN) - (GUNSHOT)" "(GASPS)" "(THUDDING)" "CHARLES:" "Oh, my God." "I remember." "CHARLES:" "Dad?" " Dad!" " (GUNSHOT)" "REPORTER:" "Right now, we're still waiting to hear from the Lake Tahoe Police Department." "They haven't spoken to reporters or released a statement just yet." "But they have assured us that we will hear from them in some way within the hour." "Residents, though, are, as you can imagine, just stunned." "I've spoken to some people who do not want to comment on camera." "I did speak to one, though, who told me that..." " Poor Zev." " Tragic." "Absolutely tragic." "He couldn't have known what he was doing." "He knew exactly what he was doing." "What?" "What are you talking about, Max?" "The man he killed was named Kunibert Sturm." "And Zev's name was Otto Wallisch." "They were the men who... murdered my family."
