The Zookeeper's Wife Page #5

And then you came

knocking on my door,

as if you could read my mind.

You paved the way with pigs.

What a crack-brained idea, and

what splendid luck for us!

I'll work with him.

We can keep our eye on him

with the bison here.

Well, he trusts you,

that's clear.

You have a way with him.

I don't know how

I can ask you to do this.

Then don't ask me.

I'm going to do it, that's all.

The feed's ready for the pigs.

I have to go.

See you later, darling.

Halt!

It's the pig farmer of Warsaw.

Up! Up!

This looks good.

This is fine.

Zabinski!

Excuse me.

It's pig meat.

Put it away.

So, how is Magda?

Is she all right?

Yes. She worries about you.

What could I do?

I had no choice.

You can't hide this face.

Uh... It's...

It's worse than I realized.

There's a young girl back there.

It's a... A child.

And two soldiers are with her.

No one is safe.

I don't know

what will happen now.

What do they intend

to do with us, Jan?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You must stop now, children.

We need the peelings

for our soup.

Dr. Korczak. I'm sorry, we

have nothing else to eat.

No, no, I should have realized.

Uh, may we speak privately?

I might be able to help you.

Yes, of course.

It's pig meat. I'll

bring more when I can.

I can get you out.

People know your books.

They will take care of you.

You should leave with me,

Dr. Korczak.

But then what of the children?

What of them, Dr. Zabinski?

My heart is

no different than yours.

I should not be here,

they should not be here,

you should not be here.

Go, go, go.

Cover yourself.

I can help you. You

have to be very, very quiet.

Very quiet.

Here, go in, go, go.

Stay down.

Good girl.

Move over.

Halt!

Stay in, but listen.

We will show you into a tunnel.

And you will spend

the night there.

The German patrol comes back

shortly after dawn.

But you will be

woken before that

and taken outside of Warsaw.

Understand?

Go. Keep your heads down.

Hurry. Through the tunnel.

Through the tunnel.

Go through the tunnel.

Hello.

Hey.

There's a cook

that comes every morning.

Please, you can't make a sound.

Will you tell me your name?

Mine is Antonina.

A new hiding place

can feel strange.

But I promise you, you're

going to be all right.

I'll stay with you if you like.

I'm right here.

Now.

Good work, Jan.

The army's waiting for them in Lomza.

Good luck.

If you tell me your family name,

we can look for them.

Maybe we could bring them here.

What a terrible time

you must have had.

My father died.

He was shot

in St. Petersburg.

I was...

Me, I was about your age.

We were taken in

by friends sometimes,

or by strangers.

We were running for so long.
