To mollify Mietek, Saul gives him the piece of jewellery. Saul is then confronted by Mietek, who realizes that he is from another unit. After an interrogation, the Renegade is executed and Saul is allowed to go back to the unit. Saul, who can't swim, manages to bring the Renegade back to the riverbank and both are then taken to the SS-commandant of the unit. The rabbi jumps into the river to retrieve the shovel or drown himself. When the Renegade refuses yet again Saul throws the man's shovel into the water. Saul then threatens to alert the Oberkapo of the unit, Mietek, that the Renegade is a rabbi by reciting a Jewish blessing. Saul finds the Renegade, who refuses to help him. Saul then sneaks onto a truck for another Sonderkommando unit, heading to a nearby riverbank, where the ashes from the crematoria are dumped into the river. The guards search the shack, only to find nothing. Saul hears the guards and hides the camera outside in a drain. When Saul and Katz arrive at the shack, Saul pretends to fix the front door's lock, while Katz takes out a camera from inside the shack and starts to take pictures of the cremation. Saul in return offers his assistance in their plan and is instructed to go with a prisoner (Katz) to repair a shack he is given a piece of jewellery for use as a bribe in case he's caught. Saul asks for another rabbi and Abraham tells him of "the Renegade," a Greek Rabbi who has lost his faith. Biederman first wants to photograph the camp's atrocities using a camera collected from the clothing of an earlier gassed caravan, and smuggle the pictures outside to attract attention and help. Saul overhears Sonderkommando Abraham, talk about an uprising against the SS-guards with Oberkapo Biederman ( Urs Rechn). He goes to Rabbi Frankel in the crematorium, who dismisses Saul's concern and suggests that Saul perform the burial himself. Saul goes in search of a Rabbi to perform the funeral ritual. Miklós declines, but says he can have five minutes alone with the boy tonight, before the cremation. He asks Miklós to not cut up the boy, so he can give him a proper Jewish burial. Saul steps forth and insists on carrying the body himself to the prison doctor, Miklós, a fellow Hungarian prisoner and a forced assistant to Josef Mengele. Among the dead after a gassing, Saul sees a boy who is still barely alive suffocated by a Nazi physician who calls for an autopsy on the boy. He works stoically, seemingly having been numbed by the daily horrors. His job is to salvage valuables from the clothing of the dead, drag bodies from the gas chambers and scrub the chambers before the next group arrives to be gassed.
