1
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,123
I don't know if the story
I want to tell you

2
00:01:44,182 --> 00:01:46,243
is entirely true.

3
00:01:47,198 --> 00:01:49,630
Some of it I only know by hearsay.

4
00:01:49,971 --> 00:01:54,185
After so many years,
a lot of it is still obscure,

5
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,410
and many questions
remain unanswered.

6
00:01:57,973 --> 00:02:00,622
But I think I must tell
of the strange events

7
00:02:00,858 --> 00:02:04,687
that occurred in our village.

8
00:02:04,932 --> 00:02:07,709
They could perhaps

9
00:02:07,710 --> 00:02:11,194
clarify some things
that happened in this country.

10
00:02:11,734 --> 00:02:15,992
It all began, I think,
with the doctor's riding accident.

11
00:02:16,975 --> 00:02:20,127
After his dressage session
on the Baron's estate,

12
00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:23,766
he was headed home,

13
00:02:24,126 --> 00:02:27,184
to see if any patients had arrived.

14
00:02:27,648 --> 00:02:29,806
Entering the garden,

15
00:02:30,152 --> 00:02:32,970
his horse tripped on a wire

16
00:02:32,988 --> 00:02:35,018
strung between two trees.

17
00:02:35,810 --> 00:02:40,461
His daughter saw the accident
from a window,

18
00:02:40,691 --> 00:02:43,133
informed their neighbor,

19
00:02:43,147 --> 00:02:45,372
who informed the estate's steward,

20
00:02:45,591 --> 00:02:48,022
so that the agonizing doctor

21
00:02:48,281 --> 00:02:51,226
could be transported
to the district hospital

22
00:02:51,227 --> 00:02:53,753
over 30 km away.

23
00:02:54,899 --> 00:02:58,691
The neighbor,
a single woman of around 40,

24
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,256
was the village midwife.

25
00:03:00,404 --> 00:03:03,710
Since the death of the doctor's wife
in childbirth,

26
00:03:04,047 --> 00:03:09,419
she had become invaluable for him
as housekeeper and receptionist.

27
00:03:10,355 --> 00:03:12,904
After tending the doctor's
two children,

28
00:03:13,298 --> 00:03:16,487
she went to the school
to fetch her own son, Karl.

29
00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:19,162
- Have you seen Anni?
- You don't say hello?

30
00:03:19,781 --> 00:03:21,295
Hello, Mrs Wagner. Forgive him.

31
00:03:21,296 --> 00:03:22,514
Hi, Klara.

32
00:03:22,515 --> 00:03:25,742
We're so worried
that Martin forgot his manners.

33
00:03:26,055 --> 00:03:27,183
That's all right.

34
00:03:27,184 --> 00:03:28,622
How is the Doctor?

35
00:03:28,699 --> 00:03:29,992
Not very well.

36
00:03:30,003 --> 00:03:32,253
- Must he stay in the hospital?
- I don't know.

37
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:34,810
We'll go see Anna, to help her out.

38
00:03:34,886 --> 00:03:35,966
Good!

39
00:03:35,979 --> 00:03:37,633
- You enjoyed the choir?
- Yes.

40
00:03:37,892 --> 00:03:39,778
Show how well you sang.

41
00:03:49,510 --> 00:03:51,123
Good bye, teacher.

42
00:03:56,108 --> 00:03:57,711
Last one is a rotten egg!

43
00:04:02,007 --> 00:04:04,486
If I remember correctly,

44
00:04:05,427 --> 00:04:09,642
it seemed odd to me
that the kids around Klara,

45
00:04:09,721 --> 00:04:13,749
instead of scattering
after school to their homes,

46
00:04:14,328 --> 00:04:18,506
headed together
to the exit of the village.

47
00:04:18,684 --> 00:04:21,976
I could cut out some animals
for you,

48
00:04:22,737 --> 00:04:24,230
like last week.

49
00:04:25,946 --> 00:04:27,299
You'd like that?

50
00:04:37,810 --> 00:04:39,902
We can color them together.

51
00:04:44,091 --> 00:04:47,016
Or cut them
from the lovely colored paper?

52
00:04:47,318 --> 00:04:50,730
The golden one
that I got for Easter?

53
00:04:54,641 --> 00:04:55,944
Come on...

54
00:05:17,526 --> 00:05:20,496
Well, I'll make us something to eat.

55
00:05:20,752 --> 00:05:23,800
What if he never comes back?

56
00:05:25,458 --> 00:05:26,552
What?

57
00:05:27,162 --> 00:05:28,445
Come on!

58
00:05:30,352 --> 00:05:32,005
Don't be silly!

59
00:05:32,107 --> 00:05:34,881
It'll heal, just like the flu.

60
00:05:38,152 --> 00:05:40,516
Remember last winter?

61
00:05:42,565 --> 00:05:45,360
You were very sick, weren't you?

62
00:05:45,504 --> 00:05:46,674
And then...

63
00:06:31,189 --> 00:06:32,332
Hi, Anni!

64
00:06:32,391 --> 00:06:33,759
How are you?

65
00:06:33,882 --> 00:06:35,557
Can we help you?

66
00:06:36,824 --> 00:06:39,590
How did the wire get there?
Did the Doctor say?

67
00:06:39,642 --> 00:06:41,860
He was in no mood to talk:

68
00:06:41,905 --> 00:06:44,285
his collarbone
was stuck in his neck.

69
00:06:44,671 --> 00:06:47,791
I asked his daughter.
She has no idea.

70
00:06:47,944 --> 00:06:49,696
He rides through there daily.

71
00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:51,537
- Did you look at the wire?
- Sure.

72
00:06:51,610 --> 00:06:54,046
It's thin, but strong.

73
00:06:54,303 --> 00:06:56,076
Almost invisible.

74
00:07:16,671 --> 00:07:19,785
Sorry, Madame.
You play too well for me.

75
00:07:20,354 --> 00:07:23,713
Don't apologize, concentrate.
It'll help us both.

76
00:07:23,988 --> 00:07:28,262
You play too fast for me, M'am.
I'm not Frederic the Great.

77
00:07:28,470 --> 00:07:30,477
How could he have played Schubert?

78
00:07:30,562 --> 00:07:32,604
Let's do the Variation again.

79
00:07:53,331 --> 00:07:57,563
Darling, if you like the music,
sit beside me and turn the pages.

80
00:07:57,774 --> 00:08:00,236
If you're bored, go to your room.

81
00:08:00,273 --> 00:08:02,125
Or stay out of my sight.

82
00:08:02,126 --> 00:08:04,188
I get nervous if you saunter around.

83
00:08:07,735 --> 00:08:10,586
What time is it?
Where's the nanny?

84
00:08:11,329 --> 00:08:13,310
With the twins, I presume.

85
00:08:13,832 --> 00:08:15,811
- It's twenty to nine.
- Twenty to nine?

86
00:08:15,952 --> 00:08:17,724
Way past your bedtime!

87
00:08:17,761 --> 00:08:19,638
Has he done his homework?

88
00:08:19,799 --> 00:08:21,088
Of course, M'am.

89
00:08:22,718 --> 00:08:25,324
You want to turn the pages for me or not?

90
00:08:25,681 --> 00:08:26,749
Yes.

91
00:08:27,069 --> 00:08:28,499
Then come here!

92
00:08:29,578 --> 00:08:31,567
Let's go back to the Theme.

93
00:08:32,331 --> 00:08:35,023
Practice the Variations.
Or it's no fun.

94
00:08:35,659 --> 00:08:36,846
I'll do my best, Baroness.

95
00:08:37,341 --> 00:08:39,642
So from Bar 9.

96
00:08:50,638 --> 00:08:52,177
Please forgive us, Father.

97
00:08:54,401 --> 00:08:55,699
Forgive us.

98
00:09:00,390 --> 00:09:03,797
Tonight, no one here has eaten.

99
00:09:07,338 --> 00:09:10,018
When night fell,
and you hadn't returned,

100
00:09:10,251 --> 00:09:13,514
your mother searched the village
in tears.

101
00:09:16,072 --> 00:09:19,841
Could we have enjoyed our meal,
fearing for you?

102
00:09:21,742 --> 00:09:24,070
Can we enjoy our meal now,

103
00:09:24,216 --> 00:09:26,918
after hearing your lying excuses?

104
00:09:28,249 --> 00:09:30,578
I don't know what's worse:

105
00:09:30,657 --> 00:09:33,052
your absence, or your coming back.

106
00:09:36,374 --> 00:09:39,022
Tonight we'll all go to bed hungry.

107
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:50,573
You surely agree with me

108
00:09:50,649 --> 00:09:53,452
that I can't leave
your offense unpunished

109
00:09:53,809 --> 00:09:57,090
if we want to keep on living
in mutual respect.

110
00:09:59,143 --> 00:10:01,885
So tomorrow evening at this hour,

111
00:10:02,130 --> 00:10:04,815
I'll give each of you,
in front of your siblings,

112
00:10:05,076 --> 00:10:07,081
ten strokes of the cane.

113
00:10:08,329 --> 00:10:11,633
Until then,
you may ponder over your offense.

114
00:10:13,899 --> 00:10:15,293
Do you agree with me?

115
00:10:15,913 --> 00:10:17,200
Yes, Father.

116
00:10:19,844 --> 00:10:22,268
All right then.
Go to bed now, all of you.

117
00:10:45,778 --> 00:10:47,096
Don't touch me!

118
00:10:48,642 --> 00:10:51,979
Your mother and I will sleep poorly:

119
00:10:52,055 --> 00:10:56,695
I have to beat you and the strokes
will cause us more pain than you.

120
00:10:59,690 --> 00:11:01,855
Leave us alone, and go to bed!

121
00:11:05,334 --> 00:11:07,395
When you were little,

122
00:11:08,180 --> 00:11:10,806
your mother sometimes tied a ribbon

123
00:11:10,807 --> 00:11:12,893
in your hair or around your arm.

124
00:11:13,549 --> 00:11:17,225
Its white color was to remind you
of innocence and purity.

125
00:11:19,907 --> 00:11:23,977
I thought you were now
well-mannered enough

126
00:11:24,258 --> 00:11:26,684
to get by without such reminders.

127
00:11:29,823 --> 00:11:31,261
I was wrong.

128
00:11:33,536 --> 00:11:36,919
Tomorrow, once your punishment
has purified you,

129
00:11:37,175 --> 00:11:39,398
your mother
will re-tie a ribbon on you,

130
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,424
and you'll wear it

131
00:11:41,907 --> 00:11:45,776
until we can trust you again.

132
00:11:47,667 --> 00:11:49,493
Where is the wire now?

133
00:11:52,490 --> 00:11:53,913
Who removed it?

134
00:11:53,985 --> 00:11:55,121
I don't know.

135
00:11:55,158 --> 00:11:56,608
You weren't here?

136
00:11:59,729 --> 00:12:01,582
You were in town with your father?

137
00:12:01,618 --> 00:12:02,743
No.

138
00:12:02,901 --> 00:12:05,199
- Then you were here.
- I was at school.

139
00:12:05,276 --> 00:12:07,833
When you left,
was the wire still here?

140
00:12:07,878 --> 00:12:09,279
I didn't check.

141
00:12:10,401 --> 00:12:12,724
- When did you get back?
- At noon.

142
00:12:13,141 --> 00:12:15,858
I make lunch for the Doctor
and the kids.

143
00:12:15,886 --> 00:12:18,607
I've helped him since his wife died.

144
00:12:18,609 --> 00:12:19,860
Since when?

145
00:12:19,964 --> 00:12:22,693
Since Rudolf's birth, 5 years ago.

146
00:12:22,953 --> 00:12:25,191
I'm the midwife here.
We work together.

147
00:12:25,254 --> 00:12:27,305
- But you saw nothing?
- No.

148
00:12:28,317 --> 00:12:30,109
How long was the wire there?

149
00:12:30,110 --> 00:12:31,557
I never saw it.

150
00:12:32,663 --> 00:12:35,598
Nobody saw it before, or afterwards!

151
00:12:35,864 --> 00:12:39,651
It wound itself around two trees,
and vanished by itself!

152
00:12:40,791 --> 00:12:42,094
Right?

153
00:12:42,112 --> 00:12:43,285
Mom!

154
00:12:43,463 --> 00:12:44,750
What is it?

155
00:12:49,998 --> 00:12:51,146
Excuse me.

156
00:12:51,148 --> 00:12:53,681
The day after the doctor's accident

157
00:12:54,137 --> 00:12:57,252
brought no solution to the mystery.

158
00:12:57,639 --> 00:13:00,743
Then a second,
far more tragic incident,

159
00:13:01,403 --> 00:13:04,497
almost made people forget
the previous one.

160
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,905
The wife of a tenant farmer
died in a work-accident.

161
00:13:10,971 --> 00:13:14,664
The woman, who had an injured arm,

162
00:13:14,890 --> 00:13:18,966
was dispensed by the steward
from harvesting chores,

163
00:13:19,226 --> 00:13:24,277
and assigned to lighter work
in the sawmill.

164
00:13:32,067 --> 00:13:34,473
Stay outside! I'm not done.

165
00:13:35,134 --> 00:13:36,478
You get out!

166
00:15:10,434 --> 00:15:14,499
On the same day,
I had a strange encounter.

167
00:15:14,787 --> 00:15:17,328
The weather was beautiful and hot,

168
00:15:17,575 --> 00:15:22,446
so I decided to improve my meager
menu with some brown trout,

169
00:15:22,550 --> 00:15:25,446
which are plentiful in the river.

170
00:15:26,255 --> 00:15:29,961
The Baron allowed me to fish there.

171
00:15:33,096 --> 00:15:34,225
Martin!

172
00:15:50,016 --> 00:15:51,213
Martin, be careful!

173
00:15:53,049 --> 00:15:54,768
Are you insane?

174
00:15:54,923 --> 00:15:56,427
You want to break your neck?

175
00:15:56,606 --> 00:15:57,737
Hello, sir.

176
00:15:58,260 --> 00:16:00,573
What's this?
Have you gone mad?

177
00:16:00,965 --> 00:16:03,008
You know how high that is?

178
00:16:04,543 --> 00:16:06,463
Didn't you hear me shout to you?

179
00:16:06,817 --> 00:16:07,893
Yes, I did.

180
00:16:07,997 --> 00:16:09,173
Well?

181
00:16:11,970 --> 00:16:13,210
Well?

182
00:16:16,635 --> 00:16:18,910
You saw me and wanted to impress me?

183
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,586
So why...

184
00:16:22,587 --> 00:16:25,395
I gave God a chance to kill me.

185
00:16:26,527 --> 00:16:30,075
He didn't do it.
So he's pleased with me.

186
00:16:30,158 --> 00:16:31,648
What are you saying?

187
00:16:32,473 --> 00:16:34,508
He doesn't want me to die.

188
00:16:34,907 --> 00:16:37,191
Who doesn't want you to die?

189
00:16:38,081 --> 00:16:39,130
God.

190
00:16:42,407 --> 00:16:44,456
Why would God want you to die?

191
00:16:51,805 --> 00:16:54,726
Promise me you won't do it again!

192
00:16:56,762 --> 00:16:58,088
Look at me!

193
00:16:59,152 --> 00:17:00,324
Promise it!

194
00:17:04,579 --> 00:17:06,568
You don't trust me, huh?

195
00:17:06,927 --> 00:17:08,247
Yes, I do, sir.

196
00:17:10,836 --> 00:17:12,093
All right.

197
00:17:12,712 --> 00:17:16,420
Go home. Tomorrow after your
piano lesson, I'll talk to your dad.

198
00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:19,312
No, please, don't tell him!

199
00:17:22,008 --> 00:17:23,188
It's there.

200
00:17:28,169 --> 00:17:29,964
Careful, it's all rotten.

201
00:17:41,318 --> 00:17:43,196
Who sent her up here?

202
00:17:43,285 --> 00:17:44,653
No idea.

203
00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:48,473
We had to collect loose ends.
She fell through.

204
00:17:50,123 --> 00:17:51,445
You saw it?

205
00:17:51,461 --> 00:17:52,821
Not really.

206
00:17:56,218 --> 00:17:57,718
You know how it works.

207
00:17:58,190 --> 00:18:01,939
The foremen assign
weaker harvesters up here.

208
00:18:04,228 --> 00:18:05,547
Who assigned her?

209
00:18:07,573 --> 00:18:11,282
On my way home, after
that strange encounter with Martin,

210
00:18:11,797 --> 00:18:14,844
was when I first met Eva...

211
00:18:15,637 --> 00:18:16,750
Hello!

212
00:18:17,043 --> 00:18:18,657
Excuse me!

213
00:18:21,651 --> 00:18:23,918
Sorry for accosting you.

214
00:18:24,551 --> 00:18:26,756
Aren't you the new nanny
on the estate?

215
00:18:27,684 --> 00:18:28,904
Why?

216
00:18:30,503 --> 00:18:32,321
They say you're from Treglitz.

217
00:18:33,229 --> 00:18:34,544
Who says that?

218
00:18:34,778 --> 00:18:36,118
The locals.

219
00:18:38,888 --> 00:18:40,088
So?

220
00:18:41,151 --> 00:18:42,248
Nothing...

221
00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:44,075
I don't know...

222
00:18:45,527 --> 00:18:47,230
I'm the schoolteacher here.

223
00:18:47,947 --> 00:18:49,136
I just thought...

224
00:18:50,943 --> 00:18:53,223
When I saw you, I thought...

225
00:18:54,446 --> 00:18:56,728
I'm the tailor's son from Vasendorf.

226
00:18:56,884 --> 00:18:58,209
- I know.
- What?

227
00:18:58,611 --> 00:18:59,979
The Baroness told me.

228
00:19:00,283 --> 00:19:01,332
What?

229
00:19:01,730 --> 00:19:04,392
That the teacher is
from the village next to mine.

230
00:19:04,478 --> 00:19:05,658
I see, yes...

231
00:19:06,512 --> 00:19:07,769
Well... I thought...

232
00:19:08,919 --> 00:19:11,048
Looks as if you're going there...

233
00:19:11,706 --> 00:19:12,795
Where?

234
00:19:13,090 --> 00:19:14,274
Back home. To Treglitz.

235
00:19:15,099 --> 00:19:16,288
Yes?

236
00:19:16,517 --> 00:19:17,882
- Are you going there?
- Yes, I am.

237
00:19:19,655 --> 00:19:20,960
I thought...

238
00:19:21,982 --> 00:19:26,265
since you'll go through our village,
you could...

239
00:19:26,524 --> 00:19:30,371
say hello to my dad,
and give him a fish?

240
00:19:31,747 --> 00:19:32,940
What?

241
00:19:33,347 --> 00:19:34,965
He'd love that.

242
00:19:35,355 --> 00:19:37,734
Especially over the weekend.

243
00:19:43,020 --> 00:19:44,262
How...?

244
00:19:44,643 --> 00:19:45,872
I don't know.

245
00:19:45,967 --> 00:19:48,134
Unfortunately,
I have nothing to wrap...

246
00:19:51,628 --> 00:19:52,940
Neither do I.

247
00:19:53,951 --> 00:19:55,298
Unfortunately...

248
00:19:55,465 --> 00:19:58,479
We could tie them on
with fishing line.

249
00:19:58,607 --> 00:19:59,954
Just like that, on the bike?

250
00:20:02,756 --> 00:20:04,190
That's not a very good idea.

251
00:20:05,052 --> 00:20:06,636
Right, it was just an idea.

252
00:20:07,038 --> 00:20:08,127
Yes.

253
00:20:16,524 --> 00:20:17,790
Is it your bike?

254
00:20:17,827 --> 00:20:20,716
No, the estate's.

255
00:20:24,952 --> 00:20:26,595
Is this your first day off?

256
00:20:29,156 --> 00:20:31,092
You must be glad to go home.

257
00:20:33,144 --> 00:20:34,571
I can imagine.

258
00:20:39,942 --> 00:20:42,651
Well... I've still a long way to go.

259
00:20:44,789 --> 00:20:45,911
Well...

260
00:20:46,203 --> 00:20:47,327
Good-bye.

261
00:20:48,204 --> 00:20:49,309
Good-bye.

262
00:20:49,805 --> 00:20:51,751
If you see my father in Vasendorf,

263
00:20:51,787 --> 00:20:53,869
say hello to him from me.

264
00:20:54,995 --> 00:20:56,978
I don't know your father.

265
00:20:57,278 --> 00:20:58,537
That's true.

266
00:21:06,998 --> 00:21:08,935
It's my first time on a bike!

267
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,403
You're doing fine!

268
00:21:10,624 --> 00:21:12,148
But be careful!

269
00:21:29,488 --> 00:21:33,305
The woman today,
what was wrong with her?

270
00:21:33,356 --> 00:21:34,488
Which woman?

271
00:21:37,053 --> 00:21:38,571
I see. She was dead.

272
00:21:42,516 --> 00:21:43,820
What's that?

273
00:21:43,974 --> 00:21:45,033
What?

274
00:21:46,454 --> 00:21:47,525
Dead.

275
00:21:48,843 --> 00:21:50,122
What's "dead"?

276
00:21:50,806 --> 00:21:52,986
Quite a question!

277
00:21:53,584 --> 00:21:56,018
It's when one doesn't live anymore.

278
00:21:56,300 --> 00:21:57,886
When one has stopped living.

279
00:21:58,887 --> 00:22:01,474
When does one stop living?

280
00:22:02,722 --> 00:22:05,664
When one is very old, or very ill.

281
00:22:06,910 --> 00:22:08,255
And the woman?

282
00:22:09,376 --> 00:22:11,169
She had an accident.

283
00:22:11,717 --> 00:22:12,973
An "accident"?

284
00:22:13,181 --> 00:22:16,110
Yes. It's when you're badly hurt.

285
00:22:16,711 --> 00:22:17,816
Like Dad?

286
00:22:18,631 --> 00:22:20,979
Yes, but much worse than that.

287
00:22:21,465 --> 00:22:24,162
So bad,
your body can't take it anymore.

288
00:22:26,754 --> 00:22:28,394
And then you're dead?

289
00:22:29,547 --> 00:22:30,675
Yes.

290
00:22:32,174 --> 00:22:34,954
But most people
don't have an accident.

291
00:22:35,719 --> 00:22:39,056
- So they're not dead.
- No, they die much later.

292
00:22:39,469 --> 00:22:40,561
When?

293
00:22:41,736 --> 00:22:45,096
Well... later,
when they're really old.

294
00:22:49,081 --> 00:22:50,909
Does everyone die?

295
00:22:51,984 --> 00:22:53,117
Yes.

296
00:22:55,086 --> 00:22:56,476
Everyone, really?

297
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,296
Yes, everyone has to die.

298
00:23:00,299 --> 00:23:02,032
But not you, Anni?

299
00:23:03,438 --> 00:23:04,657
Me too.

300
00:23:04,736 --> 00:23:05,945
Everyone.

301
00:23:07,529 --> 00:23:09,252
But not Dad?

302
00:23:09,966 --> 00:23:11,320
Dad too.

303
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:13,519
Me too?

304
00:23:15,288 --> 00:23:17,786
You too.
But not for a very long time.

305
00:23:18,258 --> 00:23:19,875
All of us, only in a very long time.

306
00:23:21,683 --> 00:23:24,962
One can't fight it?
It has to happen?

307
00:23:26,093 --> 00:23:28,499
Yes, but not for a very long time.

308
00:23:32,105 --> 00:23:33,408
And Mom?

309
00:23:34,886 --> 00:23:36,756
She didn't go on a trip?

310
00:23:39,046 --> 00:23:40,957
Is she dead too?

311
00:23:43,923 --> 00:23:44,980
Yes.

312
00:23:45,650 --> 00:23:47,179
She's dead too.

313
00:23:48,613 --> 00:23:50,273
But that was a long time ago.

314
00:24:50,090 --> 00:24:51,262
Klara!

315
00:25:03,491 --> 00:25:05,021
Martin, you coming?

316
00:28:42,759 --> 00:28:43,906
Karli?

317
00:29:21,140 --> 00:29:22,501
You can come in.

318
00:29:22,888 --> 00:29:24,131
What is it?

319
00:29:24,449 --> 00:29:26,159
- What do you think?
- I don't know.

320
00:29:26,273 --> 00:29:27,624
It's a boy.

321
00:29:28,982 --> 00:29:31,583
What? Don't you want a brother?

322
00:29:32,627 --> 00:29:34,749
Lucky your father didn't hear you.

323
00:29:41,243 --> 00:29:42,491
I'm sorry.

324
00:29:43,401 --> 00:29:46,013
They knew it was dangerous for her.

325
00:29:46,059 --> 00:29:47,482
What do you want?

326
00:29:47,838 --> 00:29:49,370
You want to sue the Baron?

327
00:29:50,410 --> 00:29:52,239
Or murder the steward?

328
00:29:52,564 --> 00:29:54,733
Go cut off his head
with your scythe!

329
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:58,102
Won't bring your mother
back to life.

330
00:30:05,109 --> 00:30:06,845
Father, you loved our mother.

331
00:30:06,846 --> 00:30:08,414
Shut up!

332
00:30:11,163 --> 00:30:13,549
After those two days in July,

333
00:30:13,653 --> 00:30:17,001
life in the village
got back to normal.

334
00:30:17,416 --> 00:30:21,327
The daily harvesting chores
exhausted everyone.

335
00:30:21,729 --> 00:30:25,605
Most of the kids pitched in
to help their parents.

336
00:30:26,255 --> 00:30:29,763
I took up the steward's offer

337
00:30:30,164 --> 00:30:33,782
to be his secretary
during the harvesting,

338
00:30:33,998 --> 00:30:37,104
as I hoped it would enable me

339
00:30:37,140 --> 00:30:39,484
to see the young girl again.

340
00:30:39,588 --> 00:30:43,764
I couldn't get her out of my mind
after our meeting.

341
00:30:44,445 --> 00:30:48,183
But she rarely came out
of the manor house.

342
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,452
The doctor was still
in the hospital.

343
00:30:53,985 --> 00:30:55,825
Anna and Rudolf, his two children,

344
00:30:56,021 --> 00:30:59,409
were cared for meanwhile
by the midwife.

345
00:30:59,919 --> 00:31:02,215
After the farmer's wife's funeral,

346
00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:04,629
that the whole village attended,

347
00:31:04,955 --> 00:31:08,029
both accidents were forgotten.

348
00:31:08,459 --> 00:31:10,666
Until the end of the summer

349
00:31:10,770 --> 00:31:14,379
when the harvest feast
reunited the whole village,

350
00:31:14,609 --> 00:31:16,500
first in a joyful mood,

351
00:31:16,986 --> 00:31:19,953
then in horror and perplexity.

352
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,685
My thanks to all of you.

353
00:31:30,106 --> 00:31:31,356
You have worked well.

354
00:31:32,073 --> 00:31:35,040
The heavens were kind
and the barns are full.

355
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,381
So the beer can flow,

356
00:31:37,681 --> 00:31:39,521
and you won't starve today!

357
00:31:39,810 --> 00:31:42,157
Long live the Baron!

358
00:31:42,319 --> 00:31:43,466
Long may he live!

359
00:31:49,882 --> 00:31:51,446
Most honorable Baron

360
00:31:52,322 --> 00:31:53,531
and Baroness,

361
00:31:54,221 --> 00:31:55,324
dear merrymakers...

362
00:31:56,631 --> 00:31:58,859
Let us hear on this festive occasion

363
00:31:59,410 --> 00:32:02,820
Psalm 145, Verse 15:

364
00:32:03,744 --> 00:32:06,350
"The eyes of all wait upon thee, Lord;

365
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,604
"and thou givest them their meat
in due season..."

366
00:32:11,402 --> 00:32:13,062
In the name of the Father,

367
00:32:13,682 --> 00:32:14,890
the Son,

368
00:32:15,659 --> 00:32:17,509
and the Holy Ghost.

369
00:32:17,911 --> 00:32:18,966
Amen.

370
00:32:21,276 --> 00:32:23,294
Now enjoy your meal.

371
00:32:23,612 --> 00:32:26,773
Eat and drink to your fill!
You earned it!

372
00:33:15,209 --> 00:33:18,169
You promised us
a chorale by your pupils.

373
00:33:18,464 --> 00:33:20,553
Ask the pastor, Baroness.

374
00:33:20,768 --> 00:33:24,466
We're still practicing
for the confirmation feast.

375
00:33:24,740 --> 00:33:27,298
That's in spring!
Now it's the fall.

376
00:33:27,552 --> 00:33:31,815
Our little singers aren't all
very musical. Sorry!

377
00:33:43,654 --> 00:33:45,615
Well, you two "mothers"?

378
00:33:46,807 --> 00:33:49,426
Not taking part in the festivities?

379
00:33:49,981 --> 00:33:51,904
It's so nice here in the shade.

380
00:33:52,669 --> 00:33:55,084
Our son seems to be enjoying that!

381
00:33:55,085 --> 00:33:56,128
Yes.

382
00:33:56,978 --> 00:33:58,355
I can imagine.

383
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,693
Who wouldn't like it.

384
00:34:00,946 --> 00:34:02,236
Georg!

385
00:34:04,453 --> 00:34:05,690
What about yout?

386
00:34:06,281 --> 00:34:09,645
Aren't you bored
caring for other's children,

387
00:34:10,062 --> 00:34:12,442
with all the young lads over there?

388
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,685
No, sir.
I like being with the children.

389
00:34:19,952 --> 00:34:21,867
How old are you anyway?

390
00:34:22,095 --> 00:34:23,298
17, sir.

391
00:34:23,403 --> 00:34:24,446
17!

392
00:34:26,132 --> 00:34:28,999
Wouldn't you rather hold a suitor

393
00:34:29,103 --> 00:34:31,140
than the Baroness's kids?

394
00:34:31,427 --> 00:34:34,499
- Leave her alone, George!
- What did I do?

395
00:34:35,939 --> 00:34:38,834
Won't you get us
something to eat, Emma?

396
00:34:39,445 --> 00:34:42,768
If you'll mind
the children a moment, I'll go.

397
00:35:21,506 --> 00:35:24,461
He was drunk,
but they couldn't stop him.

398
00:35:41,328 --> 00:35:42,959
Leave Frieda alone!

399
00:35:47,335 --> 00:35:48,517
Shove it!

400
00:35:50,888 --> 00:35:53,444
...I'm the rooster on the tower...

401
00:35:53,445 --> 00:35:56,211
Someone cut off
the Baron's cabbages.

402
00:35:56,443 --> 00:35:57,553
What?

403
00:35:57,718 --> 00:36:00,147
Someone cut off
the Baron's cabbages!

404
00:36:07,811 --> 00:36:10,401
- I never learned.
- Neither did I.

405
00:36:10,402 --> 00:36:12,373
You have to count out loud.

406
00:36:13,523 --> 00:36:15,100
One, two, three.

407
00:36:24,325 --> 00:36:26,941
Your pupils will laugh
when they see us dancing, sir!

408
00:36:26,942 --> 00:36:29,024
They'd better not!

409
00:36:29,271 --> 00:36:32,098
And stop being so formal with me.
Am I so old?

410
00:36:36,121 --> 00:36:38,164
It's coming along!

411
00:36:38,431 --> 00:36:39,516
Well...

412
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,012
Don't look at your feet.

413
00:36:52,724 --> 00:36:54,861
Quite a job, huh?

414
00:36:57,347 --> 00:36:58,850
It's disgusting!

415
00:36:59,059 --> 00:37:02,964
It was an old custom:
"Harvest's done, pay everyone,

416
00:37:03,307 --> 00:37:06,864
"If we don't get our due,
your cabbage'll be sliced for you."

417
00:37:07,132 --> 00:37:09,793
Well, they sure slurped down enough!

418
00:37:47,815 --> 00:37:48,959
Come in.

419
00:37:56,801 --> 00:37:58,114
What do you want?

420
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:01,365
A favor, Father.

421
00:38:03,177 --> 00:38:04,344
Yes?

422
00:38:14,209 --> 00:38:15,254
Yes?

423
00:38:16,081 --> 00:38:19,779
I found it.
It's wounded.

424
00:38:20,093 --> 00:38:21,298
And?

425
00:38:21,536 --> 00:38:23,447
May I keep it?

426
00:38:27,155 --> 00:38:28,927
How will you go about that?

427
00:38:29,555 --> 00:38:31,415
We'll heal it.

428
00:38:34,437 --> 00:38:36,392
And when it's healed?

429
00:38:38,019 --> 00:38:41,176
Won't you be attached to it then?

430
00:38:42,781 --> 00:38:44,329
Will you let it fly away?

431
00:38:47,019 --> 00:38:49,341
Piepsi still lives in a cage.

432
00:38:49,862 --> 00:38:53,237
Yes, but it grew up in captivity.

433
00:38:53,660 --> 00:38:55,359
This one is used to freedom.

434
00:38:55,851 --> 00:38:58,620
Will you set it free,
once it's healed?

435
00:39:02,059 --> 00:39:03,656
Have you asked Mother?

436
00:39:03,761 --> 00:39:04,868
Yes.

437
00:39:05,447 --> 00:39:06,781
What did she say?

438
00:39:07,125 --> 00:39:09,756
That it was for you to decide,
Father.

439
00:39:10,729 --> 00:39:11,942
Really?

440
00:39:12,426 --> 00:39:13,852
That's what she said.

441
00:39:15,826 --> 00:39:18,118
You'll really take care of it?

442
00:39:18,119 --> 00:39:19,847
Yes.

443
00:39:21,835 --> 00:39:24,668
You realize that's
a heavy responsibility?

444
00:39:26,629 --> 00:39:29,076
You'll be its father and mother.

445
00:39:34,351 --> 00:39:38,332
We'll have to find a cage
for your patient.

446
00:39:38,696 --> 00:39:41,195
Did you do it, or didn't you?

447
00:39:42,339 --> 00:39:44,652
- Seems somebody saw you.
- So what?

448
00:39:45,593 --> 00:39:48,071
They're lucky
they still have their heads!

449
00:39:48,476 --> 00:39:51,482
I have to tell you, Father:
I'm proud of it!

450
00:39:52,863 --> 00:39:54,216
Sit down!

451
00:40:01,133 --> 00:40:02,757
What did you intend to do?

452
00:40:05,364 --> 00:40:06,568
Tell me.

453
00:40:08,256 --> 00:40:09,622
Come on. Tell me.

454
00:40:12,235 --> 00:40:13,949
You know why, Father.

455
00:40:14,063 --> 00:40:15,567
Because of your mother?

456
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,034
You think they caused her death?

457
00:40:19,909 --> 00:40:21,108
You think that?

458
00:40:21,317 --> 00:40:24,963
That I'm not man enough
to settle it?

459
00:40:40,063 --> 00:40:44,742
Know what your act
may do for us all?

460
00:40:45,212 --> 00:40:46,799
If Frieda loses her job,

461
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,537
which keeps us alive
for a whole year?

462
00:40:49,862 --> 00:40:52,373
If we can't work here
in the summer?

463
00:40:57,218 --> 00:41:00,388
You want to marry
and run the farm in two years?

464
00:41:00,975 --> 00:41:04,954
You'll feed everyone
without the help of the estate?

465
00:41:09,132 --> 00:41:11,393
How do you know they're responsible?

466
00:41:12,923 --> 00:41:14,530
How do you know they're innocent?

467
00:41:16,527 --> 00:41:18,001
I don't know.

468
00:41:19,764 --> 00:41:21,750
But I also don't know the opposite!

469
00:41:22,206 --> 00:41:23,911
What do you mean "not there"?

470
00:41:23,946 --> 00:41:26,397
He's disappeared.
I looked all over.

471
00:41:26,725 --> 00:41:30,402
He hasn't disappeared.
When did you last see him?

472
00:41:30,454 --> 00:41:31,913
Around 2 o'clock.

473
00:41:31,914 --> 00:41:33,154
Around 2?

474
00:41:34,344 --> 00:41:37,055
- You know what time it is?
- I know, Baron.

475
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,450
What does my wife say?

476
00:41:41,672 --> 00:41:44,174
She sent me to you. She's terrified.

477
00:41:44,433 --> 00:41:47,280
I can imagine.
You're an idiot, Huber.

478
00:41:47,927 --> 00:41:49,933
Why do you think you're here?

479
00:41:50,511 --> 00:41:54,035
To take care of one child!
Is that so hard?

480
00:41:54,329 --> 00:41:56,061
I'm so sorry, Baron.

481
00:41:56,316 --> 00:41:57,835
You can shove your excuses!

482
00:42:01,593 --> 00:42:03,248
Where did you last see my son?

483
00:42:04,103 --> 00:42:06,541
Here. He left to play
with the other kids.

484
00:42:06,884 --> 00:42:08,428
- Where?
- He didn't say.

485
00:42:08,701 --> 00:42:10,985
My wife noticed nothing either?

486
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:13,262
The cabbage heads affair upset her.

487
00:42:13,263 --> 00:42:15,284
She retired, indisposed.

488
00:42:15,623 --> 00:42:17,187
Indisposed?

489
00:42:17,368 --> 00:42:19,732
Yes, a terrible migraine attack.

490
00:42:21,447 --> 00:42:23,077
This is a madhouse!

491
00:42:23,959 --> 00:42:25,307
Have you seen my son?

492
00:42:25,412 --> 00:42:26,520
No.

493
00:42:26,976 --> 00:42:30,416
Ask your sons. Sigi has disappeared
with some other kids.

494
00:42:30,677 --> 00:42:33,696
- What does it mean?
- That he's disappeared, dammit!

495
00:42:34,039 --> 00:42:36,733
The steward's kids said
they'd only seen Sigi

496
00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:38,177
very briefly,

497
00:42:38,609 --> 00:42:40,453
that he'd gone off with other kids.

498
00:42:40,646 --> 00:42:42,789
They didn't pay
much attention to it.

499
00:42:44,085 --> 00:42:46,737
The search began
shortly after midnight.

500
00:42:47,002 --> 00:42:50,984
The searchers, tired,
some still drunk,

501
00:42:50,985 --> 00:42:52,837
were divided into two groups:

502
00:42:53,661 --> 00:42:57,714
one searched
all the estate's buildings,

503
00:42:58,629 --> 00:43:01,349
the other combed the countryside.

504
00:43:02,073 --> 00:43:05,402
Around 2.30 AM,
the siren sounded again

505
00:43:05,403 --> 00:43:08,202
calling the men back to the estate.

506
00:43:08,838 --> 00:43:10,842
Sigi had been found.

507
00:43:11,768 --> 00:43:16,821
He was in the sawmill,
tied upside down.

508
00:43:17,506 --> 00:43:19,461
His trousers were pulled down,

509
00:43:19,462 --> 00:43:22,565
his buttocks
bleeding from cane strokes.

510
00:43:23,681 --> 00:43:27,041
He was in a state of shock,
unable to walk.

511
00:43:27,042 --> 00:43:28,911
Lying on his belly,

512
00:43:28,912 --> 00:43:32,972
he was carried home
on a makeshift stretcher.

513
00:43:34,156 --> 00:43:38,547
Next Sunday, after the service,
the Baron asked the pastor

514
00:43:38,548 --> 00:43:40,673
to let him speak.

515
00:43:41,009 --> 00:43:45,444
City policemen questioned
many of you this week.

516
00:43:46,033 --> 00:43:47,493
To no avail.

517
00:43:49,173 --> 00:43:52,302
First I thought
my child was tortured

518
00:43:52,304 --> 00:43:57,781
by those who cut off my cabbages.

519
00:43:57,782 --> 00:43:59,993
To get even!

520
00:44:00,700 --> 00:44:01,919
For what?

521
00:44:03,444 --> 00:44:06,958
Supposedly it was my fault
their mother died in the sawmill,

522
00:44:06,959 --> 00:44:10,673
which is absurd.

523
00:44:12,119 --> 00:44:13,359
At least, young Felder

524
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:18,179
told the police that was his motive
for his "mowing prowess".

525
00:44:19,968 --> 00:44:22,639
I've always helped
the Felder family.

526
00:44:23,675 --> 00:44:25,834
But people aren't always grateful.

527
00:44:26,338 --> 00:44:28,215
It takes character.

528
00:44:29,352 --> 00:44:31,815
Don't run away, Felder!

529
00:44:32,038 --> 00:44:34,190
It's your honor I want to salvage!

530
00:44:35,977 --> 00:44:40,093
It turns out
the "valiant" Max Felder

531
00:44:40,763 --> 00:44:45,474
boasted of his feat to his fiancée.
Then the coward

532
00:44:45,475 --> 00:44:47,495
hid among his family,

533
00:44:48,927 --> 00:44:52,169
so he didn't have time
to torture my son.

534
00:44:52,379 --> 00:44:55,839
As to his father,
he'd bite off his tongue

535
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,122
rather than cover
for his wayward son.

536
00:45:03,787 --> 00:45:08,351
I'll remind you of a fact
that most of you may have forgotten.

537
00:45:09,686 --> 00:45:13,445
Two months ago, our doctor
had a riding accident,

538
00:45:13,447 --> 00:45:16,918
and is still not back from the hospital.

539
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,354
This accident was caused

540
00:45:19,355 --> 00:45:22,059
by a wire strung in his garden,

541
00:45:22,060 --> 00:45:25,671
with the explicit intent
of bringing him down.

542
00:45:27,928 --> 00:45:30,630
There, too, nobody knows,

543
00:45:30,631 --> 00:45:32,816
saw or heard anything.

544
00:45:35,864 --> 00:45:39,457
We all know it:
those who injured my son,

545
00:45:39,458 --> 00:45:41,948
and the doctor,

546
00:45:41,949 --> 00:45:43,078
are here

547
00:45:43,079 --> 00:45:44,979
among us,

548
00:45:44,980 --> 00:45:46,736
in this room.

549
00:45:47,845 --> 00:45:51,181
I won't let such crimes
go unpunished,

550
00:45:52,061 --> 00:45:53,494
and hope nothing like that

551
00:45:53,495 --> 00:45:56,058
happens to any of your children.

552
00:45:57,574 --> 00:46:00,303
That's why I call upon you all:

553
00:46:01,162 --> 00:46:04,520
help me find the culprit
or the culprits!

554
00:46:06,095 --> 00:46:08,277
If we fail to find out the truth,

555
00:46:08,784 --> 00:46:11,296
the peace of our community
will be gone.

556
00:46:12,364 --> 00:46:15,755
The landowner's speech
frightened the locals.

557
00:46:16,428 --> 00:46:18,128
The Baron wasn't popular,

558
00:46:18,129 --> 00:46:23,416
but as a powerful figure
and employer of half the village,

559
00:46:23,417 --> 00:46:25,125
he was respected.

560
00:46:25,645 --> 00:46:28,208
His statement
on the community's peace

561
00:46:28,209 --> 00:46:30,817
was ominous.

562
00:46:30,818 --> 00:46:35,737
And the mysterious character
of these criminal deeds

563
00:46:36,002 --> 00:46:39,539
awakened the old mistrust
of the farmers.

564
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:56,403
Come in!

565
00:47:03,624 --> 00:47:04,698
Eva!

566
00:47:06,738 --> 00:47:07,937
May I come in?

567
00:47:08,981 --> 00:47:11,509
What a question!
Of course, come in.

568
00:47:13,296 --> 00:47:14,437
What's it about?

569
00:47:17,128 --> 00:47:18,277
What's wrong?

570
00:47:21,531 --> 00:47:23,368
They fired me.

571
00:47:24,821 --> 00:47:25,865
What do you mean?

572
00:47:26,825 --> 00:47:29,608
Nothing. They just fired me.

573
00:47:30,672 --> 00:47:33,396
The tutor was also fired.

574
00:47:48,923 --> 00:47:51,361
I don't know where to go.

575
00:47:52,845 --> 00:47:54,727
I'm afraid on the road alone.

576
00:47:54,728 --> 00:47:57,006
Don't worry. Calm down.

577
00:47:57,007 --> 00:47:59,506
Come, sit here.

578
00:48:00,713 --> 00:48:03,093
Calm down, tell me what happened.

579
00:48:07,636 --> 00:48:08,726
Well?

580
00:48:10,501 --> 00:48:11,746
What happened?

581
00:48:15,773 --> 00:48:18,672
The Baron's son isn't at all well.

582
00:48:19,951 --> 00:48:23,080
His parents are desperate and angry.

583
00:48:23,081 --> 00:48:27,126
Now they say
the tutor and I are to blame,

584
00:48:27,382 --> 00:48:29,911
because we didn't pay
enough attention to him.

585
00:48:31,059 --> 00:48:33,442
But I'm only there for the twins.

586
00:48:36,333 --> 00:48:39,127
I've always taken care of them
very well.

587
00:48:40,127 --> 00:48:41,648
When you and I were dancing,

588
00:48:42,491 --> 00:48:45,093
the Baroness
had given me permission.

589
00:48:46,333 --> 00:48:48,055
I haven't done anything wrong.

590
00:48:48,340 --> 00:48:50,747
I know, come on. Stop crying!

591
00:48:55,240 --> 00:48:56,925
Where can I go now?

592
00:48:57,848 --> 00:49:00,075
My family needs my earnings.

593
00:49:00,628 --> 00:49:02,334
You'll find something else.

594
00:49:02,335 --> 00:49:05,081
You know,
the Baron is quick-tempered.

595
00:49:05,307 --> 00:49:07,674
But his bark is worse than his bite.

596
00:49:07,711 --> 00:49:10,928
No, it's all over now, I know it.

597
00:49:12,250 --> 00:49:14,409
The Baroness doesn't want
to see anyone.

598
00:49:15,438 --> 00:49:18,232
She wants to take the kids
with her, to town,

599
00:49:18,931 --> 00:49:21,134
or to her parents' estate.

600
00:49:22,989 --> 00:49:24,539
I'll try to talk to her.

601
00:49:25,752 --> 00:49:29,065
We used to play piano together,
four-handed.

602
00:49:29,612 --> 00:49:31,384
But I wasn't very good.

603
00:49:31,848 --> 00:49:35,620
Now she's the tutor,
who studied the flute in town.

604
00:49:38,380 --> 00:49:40,497
He doesn't play that well.

605
00:49:40,829 --> 00:49:42,035
That's true.

606
00:49:52,121 --> 00:49:53,808
Who does things like that?

607
00:49:54,748 --> 00:49:55,986
What?

608
00:49:56,797 --> 00:49:58,393
Beating a child like that.

609
00:49:59,639 --> 00:50:00,815
I don't know.

610
00:50:08,209 --> 00:50:10,383
Can I stay here tonight?

611
00:50:11,823 --> 00:50:14,476
Don't send me away, sir, please.

612
00:50:14,958 --> 00:50:16,458
How could you think that?

613
00:50:17,745 --> 00:50:21,508
I'll just wait for daybreak,
here in the classroom.

614
00:50:21,844 --> 00:50:23,615
Then I'll leave.

615
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,196
At home, they won't understand this.

616
00:50:32,541 --> 00:50:34,844
They'll think I did something wrong.

617
00:50:36,983 --> 00:50:38,592
Want me to come with you?

618
00:50:38,902 --> 00:50:39,970
What?

619
00:50:40,143 --> 00:50:41,812
Tomorrow, after school?

620
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,856
I'll find a carriage,
I'll be back by evening.

621
00:50:46,918 --> 00:50:48,746
Why would you do that, sir?

622
00:50:49,474 --> 00:50:51,829
Stop being so formal.

623
00:50:55,147 --> 00:50:57,421
Why would you do that?

624
00:50:59,207 --> 00:51:01,377
Come here,
I'll play something for you.

625
00:51:02,471 --> 00:51:03,685
If you want.

626
00:52:14,733 --> 00:52:16,110
Good morning, Father.

627
00:52:29,656 --> 00:52:30,721
I'm back again.

628
00:52:31,348 --> 00:52:32,431
They set me free.

629
00:52:32,696 --> 00:52:34,390
I can see that. So what?

630
00:52:53,932 --> 00:52:55,802
Can you forgive me, Father?

631
00:52:59,171 --> 00:53:00,816
Forgive you for what?

632
00:53:01,843 --> 00:53:03,922
That the estate
won't give me any work?

633
00:53:04,515 --> 00:53:07,550
That Frieda was fired in disgrace?

634
00:53:07,867 --> 00:53:10,471
That your brothers and sisters
have nothing to eat?

635
00:53:10,735 --> 00:53:11,957
Or what?

636
00:53:13,567 --> 00:53:17,108
The next day, after school,
I went to the estate

637
00:53:17,402 --> 00:53:20,145
to inquire about Sigi's health

638
00:53:20,473 --> 00:53:23,977
and to intercede
for Eva's reinstatement.

639
00:53:24,231 --> 00:53:25,351
I was told

640
00:53:25,589 --> 00:53:28,990
the Baroness had left that morning
with her children.

641
00:53:30,705 --> 00:53:35,382
Reluctantly, the steward
lent me a carriage to take Eva home.

642
00:53:35,998 --> 00:53:39,799
As we left the village,
we crossed the doctor.

643
00:53:40,341 --> 00:53:42,561
A few days
after the Thanksgiving feast,

644
00:53:42,622 --> 00:53:46,827
Rudolf, his four-year-old son,
had suddenly disappeared.

645
00:53:47,521 --> 00:53:51,573
This upset everyone
in view of the previous events.

646
00:53:52,185 --> 00:53:55,070
The boy was finally found
on the main road,

647
00:53:55,281 --> 00:53:57,548
scantily dressed for a trip,

648
00:53:57,769 --> 00:54:00,841
walking eagerly toward the town.

649
00:54:00,842 --> 00:54:03,273
When asked where he was going,

650
00:54:03,274 --> 00:54:06,161
he said he wanted
to visit his father.

651
00:54:06,830 --> 00:54:11,199
He fought tooth and nail
against being taken home.

652
00:54:12,340 --> 00:54:14,905
The doctor was told about this

653
00:54:15,375 --> 00:54:18,954
and, due to be released soon anyway,

654
00:54:20,264 --> 00:54:23,667
he decided to cut short his stay
at the hospital.

655
00:54:26,898 --> 00:54:27,993
Rudi?

656
00:54:28,061 --> 00:54:30,080
He was in the living room.

657
00:54:36,270 --> 00:54:37,420
What do I owe?

658
00:54:37,425 --> 00:54:39,034
3.50 marks.

659
00:54:42,978 --> 00:54:44,106
Thanks.

660
00:54:44,107 --> 00:54:45,342
Have a nice day.

661
00:54:50,772 --> 00:54:52,470
Rudi, where are you?

662
00:55:30,780 --> 00:55:32,022
Hello, Rudi.

663
00:55:36,918 --> 00:55:39,302
Won't you say hello to your father?

664
00:55:41,553 --> 00:55:42,621
No?

665
00:55:45,002 --> 00:55:46,293
I heard

666
00:55:46,712 --> 00:55:49,571
you wanted to visit me
at the hospital.

667
00:55:51,386 --> 00:55:53,290
And now you lock yourself in?

668
00:55:58,830 --> 00:55:59,992
All right.

669
00:56:01,780 --> 00:56:03,929
Then I don't want to see you.

670
00:56:05,001 --> 00:56:06,674
I'm going away now.

671
00:56:07,924 --> 00:56:10,223
Stay in the toilet, if you want.

672
00:56:21,330 --> 00:56:22,610
Keep well, Rudi.

673
00:57:39,270 --> 00:57:43,316
Your office is ready.
Mrs Wagner did it all.

674
00:57:45,336 --> 00:57:47,361
- Why do you tell me that?
- I don't know.

675
00:57:48,497 --> 00:57:50,548
I thought you'd like to know.

676
00:57:51,641 --> 00:57:53,666
- She took good care of you?
- Yes.

677
00:58:02,503 --> 00:58:03,932
How old are you now?

678
00:58:04,906 --> 00:58:05,987
14.

679
00:58:11,500 --> 00:58:12,718
It's amazing,

680
00:58:13,836 --> 00:58:15,311
you look so like your mother.

681
00:58:33,105 --> 00:58:36,072
... your mother and I
are very worried about you.

682
00:58:37,300 --> 00:58:40,196
Think carefully. Do you sleep badly?

683
00:58:40,441 --> 00:58:41,995
Are you overtired?

684
00:58:41,996 --> 00:58:43,268
No.

685
00:58:44,743 --> 00:58:48,353
Do you have problems at school
I don't know?

686
00:58:49,411 --> 00:58:50,595
No, Father.

687
00:58:55,074 --> 00:58:57,395
You don't understand why we worry.

688
00:58:57,913 --> 00:59:00,105
I'll explain it to you.

689
00:59:01,404 --> 00:59:05,089
As you know,
I'm also the pastor for Birkenbrunn.

690
00:59:06,871 --> 00:59:09,220
One day, a mother came to see me,

691
00:59:09,525 --> 00:59:12,523
as her son,
about the same age as you,

692
00:59:13,150 --> 00:59:14,786
had the same symptoms

693
00:59:16,682 --> 00:59:19,238
you've shown for some time.

694
00:59:19,527 --> 00:59:23,929
The boy suddenly seemed
extremely weary.

695
00:59:24,929 --> 00:59:28,720
His eyes were ringed,
he was depressed and joyless.

696
00:59:32,005 --> 00:59:35,127
He avoided looking his parents
in the eye,

697
00:59:36,414 --> 00:59:41,403
and soon was also caught lying.

698
00:59:52,416 --> 00:59:54,427
This lasted about half a year.

699
00:59:55,491 --> 00:59:57,515
Then everything went very fast.

700
00:59:58,919 --> 01:00:00,760
He lost his appetite,

701
01:00:02,325 --> 01:00:05,886
couldn't sleep any more,
his hands began to shake,

702
01:00:07,604 --> 01:00:09,314
his memory started to fail,

703
01:00:10,534 --> 01:00:12,884
his face became
covered with pustules,

704
01:00:13,349 --> 01:00:14,889
then his whole body.

705
01:00:16,644 --> 01:00:18,072
Finally, he died.

706
01:00:20,725 --> 01:00:24,809
The body, that I had to bless,
looked like an old man's body.

707
01:00:27,535 --> 01:00:30,027
Do you understand now
why I'm worried?

708
01:00:32,698 --> 01:00:35,410
What do you think
caused these changes

709
01:00:35,724 --> 01:00:39,492
that led
to that boy's miserable end?

710
01:00:40,088 --> 01:00:41,536
I don't know.

711
01:00:44,044 --> 01:00:46,358
I think you know very well.

712
01:01:04,382 --> 01:01:06,203
Won't you tell me?

713
01:01:08,533 --> 01:01:09,587
No?

714
01:01:12,822 --> 01:01:15,548
Then I'll give you the answer.

715
01:01:17,450 --> 01:01:19,922
The boy had seen someone,

716
01:01:20,201 --> 01:01:23,150
who was harming
the finest nerves of his body,

717
01:01:23,503 --> 01:01:26,925
in the area where God
has erected sacred barriers.

718
01:01:27,815 --> 01:01:30,436
The boy imitated this action.

719
01:01:30,639 --> 01:01:33,197
He couldn't stop doing it.

720
01:01:35,776 --> 01:01:40,169
In the end he destroyed
all his nerves, and died of it.

721
01:01:43,713 --> 01:01:45,362
I just want to help you.

722
01:01:46,724 --> 01:01:48,573
I love you with all my heart.

723
01:01:49,830 --> 01:01:51,914
Be sincere, Martin.

724
01:01:52,728 --> 01:01:56,516
Why did you blush listening
to the story of the poor boy?

725
01:01:57,127 --> 01:01:58,321
Blush?

726
01:01:58,735 --> 01:02:01,525
I don't know. I felt sorry for him.

727
01:02:02,645 --> 01:02:04,260
Is that all?

728
01:02:06,842 --> 01:02:09,605
I think there's another reason.

729
01:02:09,918 --> 01:02:11,750
It's written on your face.

730
01:02:13,128 --> 01:02:14,908
Be sincere,

731
01:02:15,067 --> 01:02:16,288
Martin!

732
01:02:18,926 --> 01:02:20,608
Why are you crying?

733
01:02:21,353 --> 01:02:23,757
Shall I spare you that confession?

734
01:02:25,915 --> 01:02:29,200
Have you been doing
what that wretched boy did?

735
01:02:30,156 --> 01:02:31,334
Yes.

736
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:48,172
My arm!

737
01:03:20,138 --> 01:03:23,052
Glad that you're back. About time.

738
01:03:24,128 --> 01:03:25,853
One can say that. Yes.

739
01:03:33,592 --> 01:03:36,071
It was hard with the children,
without you.

740
01:03:36,916 --> 01:03:38,178
I know.

741
01:03:44,994 --> 01:03:46,313
He doesn't like me.

742
01:03:47,286 --> 01:03:49,089
- Who?
- Rudi.

743
01:03:51,044 --> 01:03:52,964
He's at a difficult age.

744
01:03:54,529 --> 01:03:56,160
Actually not.

745
01:03:58,218 --> 01:04:00,477
They're always at a difficult age.

746
01:04:03,124 --> 01:04:04,185
Yes.

747
01:04:07,980 --> 01:04:09,681
You didn't miss me.

748
01:04:11,380 --> 01:04:12,756
What does that mean?

749
01:04:14,514 --> 01:04:17,265
Nothing.
I said it because it's true.

750
01:04:21,981 --> 01:04:24,923
Nothing like
a nice dose of self-hate!

751
01:04:25,625 --> 01:04:26,668
What?

752
01:04:27,377 --> 01:04:29,657
Nothing. Forget it.

753
01:04:57,093 --> 01:04:59,753
Winter came early that year.

754
01:04:59,754 --> 01:05:03,566
For Reformation Day,
on the first Sunday of November,

755
01:05:03,860 --> 01:05:06,394
a blanket of snow
covered the village.

756
01:05:07,324 --> 01:05:12,313
Quite unusually, the Baron,
whose family had not yet come back,

757
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:14,224
didn't attend the service.

758
01:05:15,877 --> 01:05:19,713
The villagers took that
as a sign of his anger.

759
01:05:20,323 --> 01:05:22,274
Indeed, no leads had been found

760
01:05:22,275 --> 01:05:24,225
to a possible culprit,

761
01:05:24,565 --> 01:05:26,852
although the Baron's appeal

762
01:05:26,853 --> 01:05:29,141
had led to a flood
of mutual suspicions,

763
01:05:29,338 --> 01:05:32,963
even to some attempts
at denunciation,

764
01:05:34,258 --> 01:05:37,940
that had all turned out
to be untenable.

765
01:05:51,741 --> 01:05:53,741
Well, it's not pneumonia.

766
01:05:54,297 --> 01:05:55,849
But you must be careful.

767
01:05:56,407 --> 01:05:58,936
If his temperature rises,
call me again.

768
01:05:59,354 --> 01:06:02,051
Give him these drops
every two hours.

769
01:06:02,647 --> 01:06:04,873
And hang wet sheets over the oven.

770
01:06:04,874 --> 01:06:06,683
That helps breathing.

771
01:06:08,381 --> 01:06:10,322
- Good night to you.
- Good-bye, Doctor.

772
01:06:16,526 --> 01:06:18,434
How long was the window open?

773
01:06:19,345 --> 01:06:23,022
Hard to say.
My wife nursed him around 1 AM.

774
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,279
She came back around 2:30 AM.

775
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,038
By then the room was icy cold.

776
01:06:27,303 --> 01:06:29,149
And the baby didn't cry?

777
01:06:30,093 --> 01:06:32,078
No. The children heard nothing.

778
01:06:35,712 --> 01:06:38,250
He's doing all right.
We have to wait.

779
01:06:38,993 --> 01:06:41,249
But it looks fairly good.

780
01:06:41,717 --> 01:06:43,691
A drink to warm you up?

781
01:06:45,032 --> 01:06:46,803
Or stay for supper.

782
01:06:46,989 --> 01:06:50,828
No, thanks. I'm overloaded,
I was away so long.

783
01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,815
How's your arm doing?

784
01:07:01,281 --> 01:07:02,587
It's all right.

785
01:07:02,986 --> 01:07:06,146
It'll be fine
in two or three weeks.

786
01:07:06,410 --> 01:07:07,521
Thank you.

787
01:07:08,841 --> 01:07:10,634
That must be terrible, I imagine.

788
01:07:10,881 --> 01:07:13,965
One must be helpless
with only one arm.

789
01:07:14,232 --> 01:07:16,260
Quod erat demonstrandum.

790
01:07:19,229 --> 01:07:20,998
Well, good night, children.

791
01:07:21,259 --> 01:07:22,569
Good night, Doctor.

792
01:07:22,881 --> 01:07:26,416
If your wife thinks
the baby's fever has risen again,

793
01:07:26,521 --> 01:07:27,807
let me know.

794
01:07:38,855 --> 01:07:40,255
Good...

795
01:07:41,930 --> 01:07:43,329
What do you mean "good"?

796
01:07:46,882 --> 01:07:48,428
I mean, that's fine.

797
01:07:56,014 --> 01:07:57,793
When did you go see Father?

798
01:07:58,559 --> 01:08:00,213
Down in his office.

799
01:08:03,616 --> 01:08:04,740
Why?

800
01:08:06,431 --> 01:08:07,559
Just asking.

801
01:08:09,645 --> 01:08:13,461
In mid-December,
I finally got a letter from Eva.

802
01:08:14,595 --> 01:08:18,041
Her father
had found her a job in town,

803
01:08:18,077 --> 01:08:21,447
that she'd start early
in the New Year.

804
01:08:22,663 --> 01:08:26,086
Since the night she came
to shelter in the school,

805
01:08:26,122 --> 01:08:28,275
when until dawn,

806
01:08:28,312 --> 01:08:32,079
we told each other the story
of our short lives,

807
01:08:32,855 --> 01:08:34,411
her pale face,

808
01:08:34,448 --> 01:08:38,201
her shy but frank personality,

809
01:08:38,815 --> 01:08:40,909
were constantly on my mind.

810
01:08:42,656 --> 01:08:46,376
The school holidays
lasted until January 2nd,

811
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,807
but already
on the day after Christmas,

812
01:08:49,844 --> 01:08:52,195
in the cold but sunny weather,

813
01:08:52,937 --> 01:08:54,729
I headed for Treglitz

814
01:08:54,765 --> 01:08:57,583
to visit Eva and her parents.

815
01:08:58,320 --> 01:08:59,506
And Sigi?

816
01:09:01,399 --> 01:09:04,309
I don't know.
The Baroness isn't back yet.

817
01:09:08,568 --> 01:09:09,819
And the Baron?

818
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,055
We hardly see him.
He talks to nobody.

819
01:09:19,455 --> 01:09:22,651
I don't know.
Some say they went to Italy.

820
01:09:22,755 --> 01:09:24,035
To Italy?

821
01:09:36,252 --> 01:09:40,153
The steward says they'll tear down
the sawmill. Because it's...

822
01:09:42,732 --> 01:09:43,920
Good morning.

823
01:09:43,957 --> 01:09:45,402
Morning, young man.

824
01:09:45,673 --> 01:09:48,309
Please be seated.
We're not very formal here.

825
01:09:48,647 --> 01:09:50,012
Scram!

826
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:06,782
Care for a drink?

827
01:10:06,946 --> 01:10:08,399
No, thanks. Very kind.

828
01:10:08,650 --> 01:10:10,549
- Really?
- No, thanks a lot.

829
01:10:15,847 --> 01:10:17,267
So you're a schoolteacher?

830
01:10:19,077 --> 01:10:21,211
Can you afford to have a wife?

831
01:10:22,363 --> 01:10:25,496
My father's a tailor at Vasendorf.
I've learned the trade.

832
01:10:25,532 --> 01:10:27,463
I earn money on the side.

833
01:10:28,262 --> 01:10:32,017
Taking over his business
would've been smarter.

834
01:10:39,474 --> 01:10:42,363
And why are you so focused on Eva?

835
01:10:42,618 --> 01:10:46,324
She's still a child.
You could be her father.

836
01:10:47,022 --> 01:10:48,188
I'm 31.

837
01:10:48,532 --> 01:10:50,521
Well, you're not far off.

838
01:10:50,866 --> 01:10:51,960
Father!

839
01:10:58,664 --> 01:11:01,389
Have you asked her
if she's interested?

840
01:11:01,636 --> 01:11:05,121
She's a child,
knows nothing about life.

841
01:11:06,476 --> 01:11:08,921
Speak up. Do you want him?

842
01:11:10,915 --> 01:11:12,919
Come on. Say something.

843
01:11:15,058 --> 01:11:16,898
He came all this way in the cold.

844
01:11:17,185 --> 01:11:21,099
Leave her alone. Of course,
she wants him. Can't you tell?

845
01:11:21,361 --> 01:11:23,549
How can I, if she clams up!

846
01:11:33,021 --> 01:11:34,770
Sit down again.

847
01:11:37,453 --> 01:11:38,552
Women!

848
01:11:40,374 --> 01:11:42,324
Don't take them too seriously.

849
01:11:45,032 --> 01:11:47,967
Listen, I'm not a big talker.

850
01:11:49,325 --> 01:11:52,070
On one hand, it suits mea
if she leaves the house.

851
01:11:52,334 --> 01:11:54,909
Lots of mouths to feed,
as you can see.

852
01:11:56,815 --> 01:11:58,265
On the other hand,

853
01:11:59,266 --> 01:12:01,899
it's moving too fast for me.

854
01:12:02,516 --> 01:12:04,041
I don't know you.

855
01:12:04,667 --> 01:12:08,046
I don't dislike you,
but I need to know more about you.

856
01:12:10,781 --> 01:12:15,470
The town hairdresser has agreed
to take her on as an apprentice.

857
01:12:16,485 --> 01:12:18,360
She'll get to meet people,

858
01:12:19,743 --> 01:12:21,904
she can decide
if she really wants this.

859
01:12:23,466 --> 01:12:26,017
If in a year
she's still in favor of it,

860
01:12:26,053 --> 01:12:27,785
we'll talk about it again.

861
01:12:29,826 --> 01:12:31,907
You can make up your mind too.

862
01:12:33,537 --> 01:12:34,697
All right?

863
01:12:35,053 --> 01:12:37,399
- I actually thought I...
- Yes, I know.

864
01:12:38,384 --> 01:12:42,009
But it's either that or nothing.

865
01:12:46,143 --> 01:12:47,435
If you insist...

866
01:12:47,472 --> 01:12:49,076
Yes, I do.

867
01:12:55,323 --> 01:12:56,464
Delighted.

868
01:13:00,201 --> 01:13:03,229
So, my work's waiting.

869
01:13:04,049 --> 01:13:06,377
Even on holidays.

870
01:13:07,082 --> 01:13:08,425
Don't get up.

871
01:13:09,773 --> 01:13:11,116
I'll send the kid back in.

872
01:13:15,540 --> 01:13:17,386
So you can say good bye.

873
01:13:17,706 --> 01:13:20,349
A year goes by fast.
The world won't collapse.

874
01:13:22,933 --> 01:13:24,490
You can come and visit her.

875
01:14:06,165 --> 01:14:07,768
Did your father tell you...?

876
01:14:18,959 --> 01:14:20,275
Is that all right with you?

877
01:14:23,567 --> 01:14:25,064
And is it with you, sir?

878
01:14:27,109 --> 01:14:28,892
Don't call me "sir".

879
01:14:54,581 --> 01:14:56,042
Adi! Are you awake?

880
01:14:57,531 --> 01:14:58,757
Adi!

881
01:15:00,131 --> 01:15:01,409
What is it?

882
01:15:01,473 --> 01:15:02,517
Look!

883
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:04,891
What's happening?

884
01:15:04,980 --> 01:15:07,497
Look! Go see what's happening!

885
01:15:08,875 --> 01:15:10,774
My God, what do you want?

886
01:15:11,087 --> 01:15:13,136
Over there! Look out the window!

887
01:15:24,593 --> 01:15:26,854
Something's burning! On the estate!

888
01:15:27,164 --> 01:15:28,470
Untie me!

889
01:15:28,955 --> 01:15:30,282
Come on, untie me!

890
01:15:31,100 --> 01:15:32,388
I don't know if...

891
01:15:32,518 --> 01:15:33,702
Untie me, I said!

892
01:15:33,976 --> 01:15:35,565
What is it?

893
01:15:35,913 --> 01:15:37,074
Be quiet!

894
01:15:37,421 --> 01:15:39,163
Gustl, come and untie me!

895
01:15:40,299 --> 01:15:41,797
What's going on?

896
01:15:42,721 --> 01:15:45,324
Untie me, dammit!
There's a fire!

897
01:15:46,148 --> 01:15:48,072
What fire?

898
01:15:54,586 --> 01:15:55,927
A fire!

899
01:15:55,989 --> 01:15:58,600
Yes, a fire! Now untie me, dammit!

900
01:16:00,972 --> 01:16:02,472
Father won't allow it.

901
01:16:02,794 --> 01:16:05,596
It's an emergency!
Somebody must warn them!

902
01:16:05,894 --> 01:16:06,937
Father!

903
01:16:07,091 --> 01:16:09,943
Stop shouting! I'll do it!

904
01:16:14,265 --> 01:16:16,065
Shall I call Mom?

905
01:16:21,100 --> 01:16:22,950
- What is it?
- A fire!

906
01:16:23,223 --> 01:16:25,376
I know. Your father already went.

907
01:16:27,630 --> 01:16:29,255
What are you doing here?

908
01:16:29,672 --> 01:16:32,386
Go to bed now! It's nothing.

909
01:16:33,147 --> 01:16:36,190
There's a fire on the estate.
Don't be afraid.

910
01:16:36,613 --> 01:16:38,795
Go to bed and sleep.

911
01:16:40,933 --> 01:16:43,277
Go on! You'll catch a cold.

912
01:16:47,922 --> 01:16:50,393
Why all the noise?
You woke them all up!

913
01:16:50,687 --> 01:16:52,893
I thought it was dangerous.

914
01:16:53,212 --> 01:16:55,179
I had to untie him.

915
01:16:55,460 --> 01:16:57,254
Now everything's fine again.

916
01:16:57,598 --> 01:17:00,394
Tomorrow,
Father will tell you about the fire.

917
01:17:00,832 --> 01:17:02,207
You all go back to bed.

918
01:17:03,135 --> 01:17:04,817
I'll wait till you're in bed.

919
01:17:06,052 --> 01:17:07,314
It's cold here.

920
01:17:19,938 --> 01:17:21,189
Good night, then.

921
01:17:22,738 --> 01:17:24,003
Sleep tight.

922
01:17:24,296 --> 01:17:25,767
Night, Mom!

923
01:19:29,315 --> 01:19:30,950
Why don't you stop doing that?

924
01:19:35,793 --> 01:19:36,917
Why all the effort?

925
01:19:37,739 --> 01:19:40,121
Don't look so dumbfounded.

926
01:19:40,158 --> 01:19:42,293
You don't lack talent.

927
01:19:42,581 --> 01:19:44,934
I just can't do it
with you any more.

928
01:19:46,683 --> 01:19:49,070
To be truthful: you disgust me.

929
01:19:50,486 --> 01:19:51,949
Can't you finish your work?

930
01:19:52,214 --> 01:19:54,308
I don't want
to spend the night here.

931
01:19:59,769 --> 01:20:00,953
What did I do to you?

932
01:20:01,187 --> 01:20:03,759
My God, you've done nothing to me!

933
01:20:05,641 --> 01:20:07,717
You're ugly, messy,

934
01:20:07,995 --> 01:20:11,134
flabby and have bad breath.
Will that do?

935
01:20:11,171 --> 01:20:16,816
The cover has to be sterilized.

936
01:20:16,852 --> 01:20:21,986
Don't sit there
looking like death warmed over.

937
01:20:22,416 --> 01:20:24,808
The world won't collapse.
Not on you,

938
01:20:24,844 --> 01:20:26,982
or on me.

939
01:20:31,052 --> 01:20:33,450
I can't go on with this, that's all.

940
01:20:36,544 --> 01:20:38,377
I've really tried...

941
01:20:40,065 --> 01:20:43,657
to think of another woman
while making love to you.

942
01:20:44,723 --> 01:20:46,544
One who smells good,

943
01:20:48,307 --> 01:20:50,676
who's young, less decrepit than you,

944
01:20:51,748 --> 01:20:54,207
but my imagination can't manage it.

945
01:20:56,435 --> 01:20:58,327
In the end, it's you again

946
01:20:59,125 --> 01:21:01,336
and then I feel like puking,

947
01:21:02,399 --> 01:21:04,064
and am embarrassed at myself.

948
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:05,713
So what's the point?

949
01:21:10,071 --> 01:21:11,218
Are you through?

950
01:21:11,914 --> 01:21:13,368
I have been for ages.

951
01:21:14,882 --> 01:21:17,289
You must be very unhappy
to be so mean.

952
01:21:17,553 --> 01:21:19,399
Please, not that routine!

953
01:21:22,609 --> 01:21:24,871
I know I'm not much to look at.

954
01:21:25,667 --> 01:21:29,410
My bad breath comes from my ulcer,
you know that.

955
01:21:30,608 --> 01:21:33,786
It didn't bother you in the past.

956
01:21:34,303 --> 01:21:36,650
I had it when your wife was alive.

957
01:21:36,892 --> 01:21:39,694
Spare me these sordid details.

958
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:43,179
Let me reassure you:
it always disgusted me.

959
01:21:44,824 --> 01:21:48,125
After Julie's death,
I wanted to ease my pain

960
01:21:48,372 --> 01:21:51,569
with anyone.
I could have screwed a cow!

961
01:21:53,686 --> 01:21:55,321
Whores are too far from here,

962
01:21:55,611 --> 01:21:58,315
and once every two months
isn't enough for me,

963
01:21:58,568 --> 01:22:00,783
even though I'm getting on.

964
01:22:01,414 --> 01:22:04,837
So skip acting like a martyr,
and scram.

965
01:22:07,093 --> 01:22:09,012
Why are you only noticing this now?

966
01:22:09,678 --> 01:22:12,911
When should I have noticed it?

967
01:22:14,634 --> 01:22:18,031
At the hospital,
I forgot how tiresome you are.

968
01:22:19,151 --> 01:22:21,768
One grows sentimental when in pain.

969
01:22:23,630 --> 01:22:26,250
Get out! Don't you have any pride?

970
01:22:27,554 --> 01:22:29,920
There's no room for any with you.

971
01:22:31,834 --> 01:22:33,075
That's true.

972
01:22:35,867 --> 01:22:37,601
What if I do something silly?

973
01:22:39,330 --> 01:22:40,504
Go ahead.

974
01:22:40,964 --> 01:22:43,358
It'd surprise me. But be careful:

975
01:22:43,654 --> 01:22:45,358
it may be painful.

976
01:22:46,514 --> 01:22:48,347
I know, I'm ridiculous.

977
01:22:50,104 --> 01:22:52,289
You wouldn't care anyway.

978
01:22:52,534 --> 01:22:53,596
Well...

979
01:22:56,755 --> 01:22:58,784
Why do you despise me?

980
01:22:59,624 --> 01:23:02,521
For helping to raise the boy?

981
01:23:04,475 --> 01:23:07,023
For watching you
finger your daughter

982
01:23:07,176 --> 01:23:08,612
and saying nothing?

983
01:23:11,103 --> 01:23:13,603
For helping you to deceive yourself?

984
01:23:14,657 --> 01:23:17,545
For listening to you
claim how you loved Julie,

985
01:23:17,582 --> 01:23:21,935
when everyone knew
you treated her as badly as me?

986
01:23:24,806 --> 01:23:28,146
For loving you,
when I know you can't stand

987
01:23:28,149 --> 01:23:29,400
being loved?

988
01:23:29,452 --> 01:23:30,627
That's it.

989
01:23:30,847 --> 01:23:33,201
Now get up. I have work to do.

990
01:23:35,142 --> 01:23:37,709
You can't afford to get rid of me.

991
01:23:38,431 --> 01:23:40,205
Who'll do the dirty work for you,

992
01:23:40,242 --> 01:23:43,295
who'll help you with the kids,
and your practice?

993
01:23:44,848 --> 01:23:46,585
You don't mean what you're saying.

994
01:23:46,918 --> 01:23:49,463
I want to see how far you can go:

995
01:23:49,696 --> 01:23:53,185
"Will she take it?
Can I drag her even lower?"

996
01:23:56,419 --> 01:23:57,862
I'm tired too.

997
01:23:58,792 --> 01:24:01,488
I've got two retarded kids:
Karli and you.

998
01:24:01,803 --> 01:24:03,182
You're the most troublesome one.

999
01:24:05,518 --> 01:24:07,812
My God, why don't you just die?

1000
01:25:44,891 --> 01:25:47,916
The year ended with fine weather.

1001
01:25:48,714 --> 01:25:51,023
The snowy landscape
sparkled so brightly

1002
01:25:51,471 --> 01:25:53,581
that it hurt the eyes.

1003
01:25:54,217 --> 01:25:55,409
None of us suspected

1004
01:25:55,758 --> 01:25:58,521
it'd be our last New Year
in an era of peace,

1005
01:25:58,557 --> 01:26:02,718
and that this year
would bring a radical change,

1006
01:26:02,954 --> 01:26:06,818
of a magnitude we couldn't foresee.

1007
01:26:09,703 --> 01:26:14,227
Despite the strange events
that had unsettled the village,

1008
01:26:14,947 --> 01:26:17,874
we thought of ourselves
as united in the belief

1009
01:26:18,138 --> 01:26:22,233
that life in our community
was God's will, and worth living.

1010
01:26:22,579 --> 01:26:26,005
... Christ's body
as bread and as wine.

1011
01:26:27,493 --> 01:26:31,977
May the period of preparation
for your confirmation

1012
01:26:32,898 --> 01:26:34,424
be one of happiness

1013
01:26:35,161 --> 01:26:36,743
and enrichment.

1014
01:26:40,252 --> 01:26:42,382
You, Martin,

1015
01:26:43,404 --> 01:26:46,817
will now be free
not only of that ribbon,

1016
01:26:47,285 --> 01:26:51,097
but of those nightly ties

1017
01:26:51,275 --> 01:26:55,348
that kept you from yielding to
the temptations of your young body.

1018
01:27:00,834 --> 01:27:03,707
I trust you, my beloved children,

1019
01:27:04,334 --> 01:27:07,243
and wish you
a profitable and happy new year.

1020
01:27:11,287 --> 01:27:13,822
Shortly after Easter,
in the last week of April,

1021
01:27:13,858 --> 01:27:16,567
the Baroness came back
with the children.

1022
01:27:16,861 --> 01:27:19,671
She was accompanied by a new nanny.

1023
01:27:20,692 --> 01:27:25,325
My secret hope
that Eva could come back here,

1024
01:27:25,624 --> 01:27:27,324
was definitely dashed.

1025
01:27:28,470 --> 01:27:31,609
The new nanny was an Italian woman

1026
01:27:31,646 --> 01:27:35,628
who came from the area
on the Mediterranean coast

1027
01:27:35,914 --> 01:27:38,923
where the Baroness
had spent the winter.

1028
01:27:39,047 --> 01:27:40,243
Sigi!

1029
01:27:42,404 --> 01:27:43,840
Hi, Ferdinand!

1030
01:27:44,297 --> 01:27:45,557
Wait!

1031
01:27:45,649 --> 01:27:47,262
I'll come down!

1032
01:27:49,313 --> 01:27:52,395
Stay here, Sigi!
You can see the boys later.

1033
01:27:52,396 --> 01:27:54,082
Let him go, Madam.

1034
01:27:54,290 --> 01:27:56,498
He's so happy to be back home!

1035
01:27:56,723 --> 01:27:59,351
All right, go.
But don't be too long.

1036
01:28:25,312 --> 01:28:26,618
Marie-Luise?

1037
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:31,877
Where are you?

1038
01:29:02,991 --> 01:29:04,126
Sigi!

1039
01:29:04,814 --> 01:29:06,951
Won't you come say hello to your father?

1040
01:29:25,889 --> 01:29:27,152
Watch out, he's coming!

1041
01:29:28,961 --> 01:29:30,424
Be quiet!

1042
01:29:31,047 --> 01:29:32,808
For God's sake! Be quiet!

1043
01:29:33,070 --> 01:29:34,153
Quiet!

1044
01:29:57,906 --> 01:29:59,171
What's going on here?

1045
01:29:59,207 --> 01:30:00,809
Why are you still here?

1046
01:30:01,300 --> 01:30:03,693
There's a divinity class now!

1047
01:30:04,012 --> 01:30:05,149
Get going!

1048
01:30:06,593 --> 01:30:08,028
How about a good-bye?

1049
01:30:08,215 --> 01:30:09,976
Good bye, sir!

1050
01:30:16,172 --> 01:30:17,251
Good bye, Pastor!

1051
01:30:18,728 --> 01:30:20,718
I'm sorry, Pastor.
It won't happen again.

1052
01:30:24,625 --> 01:30:25,859
Good bye, Pastor.

1053
01:30:26,694 --> 01:30:27,924
Good bye.

1054
01:30:32,534 --> 01:30:34,124
Let us pray.

1055
01:30:36,128 --> 01:30:38,263
Our Father, who art in heaven

1056
01:30:39,030 --> 01:30:40,913
hallowed by Thy name,

1057
01:30:41,502 --> 01:30:44,435
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done

1058
01:30:44,829 --> 01:30:47,629
on earth as it is in Heaven.

1059
01:30:48,524 --> 01:30:51,281
Give us this day our daily bread

1060
01:30:51,589 --> 01:30:53,794
and forgive us our trespasses

1061
01:30:54,064 --> 01:30:57,353
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

1062
01:30:57,586 --> 01:30:59,571
And lead us not into temptation

1063
01:30:59,799 --> 01:31:02,531
but deliver us from evil

1064
01:31:02,793 --> 01:31:05,665
for Thine is the kingdom, the power

1065
01:31:06,236 --> 01:31:07,431
and the glory

1066
01:31:07,467 --> 01:31:09,257
for ever and ever.

1067
01:31:09,494 --> 01:31:10,660
Amen.

1068
01:31:12,455 --> 01:31:13,898
Sit down.

1069
01:31:27,428 --> 01:31:29,918
This is a very sad day for me.

1070
01:31:31,870 --> 01:31:36,109
In a few weeks, we all want
to celebrate your confirmation.

1071
01:31:37,646 --> 01:31:40,511
For months I've tried
to bring God's word closer to you,

1072
01:31:40,803 --> 01:31:46,072
and make responsible
human beings out of you.

1073
01:31:47,512 --> 01:31:50,310
Who do I face today?

1074
01:31:52,016 --> 01:31:53,334
Yelling monkeys,

1075
01:31:54,641 --> 01:31:58,862
undisciplined, as childish
as your 7-year-old classmates!

1076
01:32:01,951 --> 01:32:03,286
But to me,

1077
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:05,898
what is even sadder

1078
01:32:07,481 --> 01:32:09,159
is that my own daughter

1079
01:32:09,196 --> 01:32:12,418
plays the leading role
in this pitiful display.

1080
01:32:15,069 --> 01:32:18,104
Last year

1081
01:32:18,424 --> 01:32:21,121
I tied a white ribbon in her hair.

1082
01:32:23,119 --> 01:32:24,894
White, as you all know,

1083
01:32:25,159 --> 01:32:26,789
is the color of innocence.

1084
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:31,065
The ribbon was meant
to help Klara avoid sin,

1085
01:32:32,569 --> 01:32:34,031
selfishness,

1086
01:32:34,067 --> 01:32:35,415
envy,

1087
01:32:36,363 --> 01:32:39,584
indecency, lies and sloth.

1088
01:32:41,817 --> 01:32:43,685
At the start of the year,

1089
01:32:45,023 --> 01:32:46,363
I naïvely believed

1090
01:32:46,654 --> 01:32:49,814
that she was now mature enough

1091
01:32:50,885 --> 01:32:52,770
not to need that ribbon any more.

1092
01:32:54,332 --> 01:32:56,667
That she'd become
responsible enough,

1093
01:32:56,704 --> 01:32:59,254
as the daughter
of the spiritual leader of...

1094
01:33:08,933 --> 01:33:10,275
Anni?

1095
01:33:27,441 --> 01:33:29,793
Anni? Where are you?

1096
01:34:06,999 --> 01:34:08,041
Anni?

1097
01:34:52,530 --> 01:34:54,928
Rudi? What are you doing here?

1098
01:34:55,937 --> 01:34:57,638
Why aren't you in bed?

1099
01:34:57,849 --> 01:35:00,399
I can't go to sleep.

1100
01:35:00,949 --> 01:35:03,250
Is that why you're wandering around?

1101
01:35:03,459 --> 01:35:06,237
I woke up and you weren't there.

1102
01:35:09,925 --> 01:35:12,678
Dad has pierced my earlobes.

1103
01:35:13,189 --> 01:35:14,944
Does it hurt?

1104
01:35:16,257 --> 01:35:17,565
Yes, a bit.

1105
01:35:17,602 --> 01:35:19,806
Is that why you're crying?

1106
01:35:19,842 --> 01:35:21,653
I'm not crying any more.

1107
01:35:24,775 --> 01:35:26,544
Beauty has to suffer.

1108
01:35:29,787 --> 01:35:31,508
That's what they say.

1109
01:35:39,785 --> 01:35:41,163
Go back to bed.

1110
01:35:41,939 --> 01:35:43,464
Anni's coming.

1111
01:35:49,918 --> 01:35:53,894
I haven't worn earrings in ages,
so the holes closed up.

1112
01:35:58,422 --> 01:36:01,125
For Whitsun,

1113
01:36:01,645 --> 01:36:03,470
I'm getting Mom's.

1114
01:36:05,121 --> 01:36:06,493
The pretty ones,

1115
01:36:07,374 --> 01:36:08,417
you know?

1116
01:36:52,334 --> 01:36:55,464
A few days
after Klara's fainting fit,

1117
01:36:55,500 --> 01:36:57,169
that frightened us all,

1118
01:36:57,206 --> 01:37:01,036
and left her feverish and weakened,

1119
01:37:01,730 --> 01:37:04,837
I went to see the steward,
on the eve of Whitsun

1120
01:37:04,874 --> 01:37:07,478
to borrow the carriage again.

1121
01:37:08,370 --> 01:37:12,450
Since my marriage proposal,
Eva wrote me once a week.

1122
01:37:12,729 --> 01:37:17,106
I felt she was alone
and lost in the city,

1123
01:37:17,380 --> 01:37:22,056
and was hinting for me
to come see her as soon as I could.

1124
01:37:22,871 --> 01:37:25,402
I wanted to spend Saturday with her

1125
01:37:25,438 --> 01:37:27,418
and be back on Sunday

1126
01:37:27,455 --> 01:37:31,374
to prepare the confirmation ceremony
with the pastor.

1127
01:37:32,549 --> 01:37:35,280
The steward had gone to the sawmill,

1128
01:37:35,551 --> 01:37:38,425
but was due back any minute.

1129
01:38:04,203 --> 01:38:05,499
Good morning, sir.

1130
01:38:05,536 --> 01:38:06,931
Hello, Erna.

1131
01:38:16,736 --> 01:38:18,053
He's cute.

1132
01:38:20,031 --> 01:38:21,118
Do you like him?

1133
01:38:21,383 --> 01:38:22,528
Yes. Very much.

1134
01:38:26,782 --> 01:38:29,049
He was quite sick last winter,
I was told.

1135
01:38:29,612 --> 01:38:31,005
Yes. Very sick.

1136
01:38:31,605 --> 01:38:35,036
But the doctor cured him, thank God.

1137
01:38:36,570 --> 01:38:38,323
Maybe I'll come back this evening.

1138
01:38:38,688 --> 01:38:40,743
I'm sure Father will come for coffee

1139
01:38:40,780 --> 01:38:41,942
at four.

1140
01:38:43,273 --> 01:38:44,712
Then I'll sit down again.

1141
01:38:45,028 --> 01:38:47,561
Can I get you something? A coffee?

1142
01:38:47,801 --> 01:38:49,322
It must be ready.

1143
01:38:49,636 --> 01:38:53,087
No, thanks.
I'll just sit and wait.

1144
01:38:53,124 --> 01:38:54,372
Sir!

1145
01:38:58,478 --> 01:39:01,182
Can dreams come true?

1146
01:39:03,483 --> 01:39:04,670
That depends.

1147
01:39:04,885 --> 01:39:06,103
On what?

1148
01:39:06,858 --> 01:39:08,313
On what does it depend?

1149
01:39:09,805 --> 01:39:13,598
If you dream of being
first in your class, and study hard,

1150
01:39:14,082 --> 01:39:15,913
your dream may come true.

1151
01:39:16,226 --> 01:39:18,597
- I didn't mean that.
- Then what?

1152
01:39:20,282 --> 01:39:22,804
I mean, if you dream of something,

1153
01:39:23,301 --> 01:39:25,338
really dream it in your sleep,

1154
01:39:25,653 --> 01:39:27,847
can it come true?

1155
01:39:29,027 --> 01:39:30,776
Why, what did you dream?

1156
01:39:34,794 --> 01:39:35,872
Tell me.

1157
01:39:36,756 --> 01:39:38,534
You have something on your mind.

1158
01:39:40,905 --> 01:39:42,305
So tell me.

1159
01:39:44,372 --> 01:39:46,405
I dreamt that Karli...

1160
01:39:47,463 --> 01:39:49,647
- the odd little boy of the...
- I know.

1161
01:39:50,365 --> 01:39:52,151
Something terrible
will happen to him.

1162
01:39:53,007 --> 01:39:54,399
Something terrible?

1163
01:39:55,448 --> 01:39:56,843
Like what?

1164
01:39:58,029 --> 01:39:59,520
I don't know.

1165
01:40:00,194 --> 01:40:02,202
Like what happened to Sigi.

1166
01:40:03,590 --> 01:40:04,735
But even worse.

1167
01:40:05,496 --> 01:40:08,622
But he's so sweet. He harms no one.

1168
01:40:08,897 --> 01:40:10,286
Come on...

1169
01:40:11,862 --> 01:40:15,163
It was only a dream.
Don't take it so seriously.

1170
01:40:24,514 --> 01:40:27,676
Dreams don't come true.
Let alone that kind.

1171
01:40:31,953 --> 01:40:34,800
But sometimes
my dreams do come true.

1172
01:40:35,291 --> 01:40:36,632
What do you mean?

1173
01:40:41,143 --> 01:40:42,423
Last winter,

1174
01:40:42,608 --> 01:40:45,230
before Gustl got sick,

1175
01:40:45,500 --> 01:40:48,971
I dreamt
my brother opened his window,

1176
01:40:49,165 --> 01:40:50,958
so he'd die.

1177
01:40:51,170 --> 01:40:55,058
And his window was opened,
he caught a chill, almost died.

1178
01:40:57,730 --> 01:40:59,382
What are you saying?

1179
01:40:59,703 --> 01:41:01,068
That's nonsense!

1180
01:41:22,258 --> 01:41:25,552
We arranged to meet
at the railway station,

1181
01:41:25,877 --> 01:41:29,240
as Eva wanted to avoid
being seen with me.

1182
01:41:29,799 --> 01:41:32,567
She was living with distant cousins,

1183
01:41:32,909 --> 01:41:34,757
who gave her parents

1184
01:41:35,046 --> 01:41:38,611
regular reports on her behavior.

1185
01:41:38,976 --> 01:41:42,668
She had become thinner,
which made her even prettier.

1186
01:41:43,381 --> 01:41:46,093
I was ravished again
by her mixture of shyness

1187
01:41:46,129 --> 01:41:48,665
and almost childlike outspokenness.

1188
01:41:49,419 --> 01:41:51,162
So it's not really so awful?

1189
01:41:51,435 --> 01:41:54,244
No. But sweeping up hair all day...

1190
01:41:54,548 --> 01:41:56,017
The twins were more fun.

1191
01:41:56,269 --> 01:41:59,991
But it's all right.
I can't really complain.

1192
01:42:00,053 --> 01:42:01,112
No?

1193
01:42:01,149 --> 01:42:02,271
No.

1194
01:42:02,558 --> 01:42:03,667
Really.

1195
01:42:06,296 --> 01:42:08,445
Aside from the twins,
you miss nothing?

1196
01:42:10,831 --> 01:42:12,347
Come on, you!

1197
01:42:31,710 --> 01:42:34,089
How is the nanny? She only speaks Italian?

1198
01:42:34,411 --> 01:42:36,155
That's what the steward says.

1199
01:42:36,312 --> 01:42:37,506
I see.

1200
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:47,175
Where are you going?

1201
01:42:47,431 --> 01:42:50,191
There's a nice little pond
in the wood.

1202
01:42:50,561 --> 01:42:53,396
We can picnic there.
I brought some food.

1203
01:42:55,964 --> 01:42:58,151
- I'd rather not.
- Why?

1204
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:04,211
What is it?

1205
01:43:05,067 --> 01:43:06,157
Nothing.

1206
01:43:07,193 --> 01:43:08,515
Please.

1207
01:43:11,079 --> 01:43:13,304
I had no improper intentions.

1208
01:43:13,597 --> 01:43:16,113
I just wanted you
to enjoy the picnic.

1209
01:43:19,015 --> 01:43:20,268
Please.

1210
01:43:21,879 --> 01:43:24,877
How could I disgrace my future wife?

1211
01:43:29,965 --> 01:43:31,348
All right then.

1212
01:43:31,443 --> 01:43:32,883
I'll turn around.

1213
01:43:46,460 --> 01:43:47,768
Thanks.

1214
01:44:18,187 --> 01:44:19,985
Accept and drink!

1215
01:44:21,067 --> 01:44:23,521
This is the blood
of the New Testament,

1216
01:44:23,773 --> 01:44:25,559
shed for you

1217
01:44:25,824 --> 01:44:27,802
to forgive your sins.

1218
01:45:57,884 --> 01:45:59,284
Here! He's here!

1219
01:46:08,069 --> 01:46:09,364
Out of the way!

1220
01:46:22,813 --> 01:46:24,736
"For I, the Lord, your God

1221
01:46:24,809 --> 01:46:26,410
"am a jealous God

1222
01:46:27,365 --> 01:46:32,051
"visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children

1223
01:46:32,270 --> 01:46:35,130
unto the third
and fourth generation."

1224
01:46:36,101 --> 01:46:39,510
After the atrocities committed
on the retarded boy,

1225
01:46:39,833 --> 01:46:42,947
the Baron was finally convinced
it was smarter

1226
01:46:43,200 --> 01:46:48,054
to enlist the help
of the county's police force.

1227
01:46:48,619 --> 01:46:50,161
So a few days later

1228
01:46:50,392 --> 01:46:53,225
two plainclothes policemen arrived,

1229
01:46:53,562 --> 01:46:56,698
who, after visiting
several of the crime scenes,

1230
01:46:56,976 --> 01:47:00,394
inquired if anyone
had noticed anything suspicious.

1231
01:47:01,472 --> 01:47:04,784
When I learnt of Karli's torture,

1232
01:47:04,977 --> 01:47:08,904
I didn't think
of what Erna had told me.

1233
01:47:09,194 --> 01:47:13,659
When I remembered,
I hesitated to tell the authorities.

1234
01:47:13,914 --> 01:47:17,989
Such an absurd coincidence
might jeopardize

1235
01:47:18,026 --> 01:47:21,732
the reputation and inner peace
of the steward's family.

1236
01:47:22,554 --> 01:47:27,723
But when I heard that Karli
might lose his eyesight,

1237
01:47:27,983 --> 01:47:30,603
I made Erna come to the school

1238
01:47:30,935 --> 01:47:33,545
and tell the policemen
about her dream.

1239
01:47:33,790 --> 01:47:35,944
... we're not as stupid as you think.

1240
01:47:36,257 --> 01:47:38,487
But I really dreamt it!

1241
01:47:43,459 --> 01:47:44,880
Watch out!

1242
01:47:47,084 --> 01:47:48,707
I'll give you one last chance:

1243
01:47:50,428 --> 01:47:54,097
tell us who told you
of a plan to torture the boy,

1244
01:47:54,451 --> 01:47:57,121
and we won't repeat it to anyone.

1245
01:47:57,343 --> 01:47:58,417
All right?

1246
01:48:02,848 --> 01:48:04,818
She's already had dreams
that came true.

1247
01:48:05,667 --> 01:48:06,889
Is that so?

1248
01:48:07,647 --> 01:48:08,927
About what, may I ask?

1249
01:48:10,669 --> 01:48:12,856
It was a family matter.

1250
01:48:13,342 --> 01:48:15,519
I see! A family matter.

1251
01:48:15,790 --> 01:48:17,782
You checked if it was true?

1252
01:48:18,018 --> 01:48:19,086
No.

1253
01:48:21,361 --> 01:48:22,450
Well,

1254
01:48:23,743 --> 01:48:24,997
it may be true.

1255
01:48:26,251 --> 01:48:28,790
Maybe she's
an authentic clairvoyant,

1256
01:48:29,166 --> 01:48:31,295
and we're luckier than we think.

1257
01:48:32,256 --> 01:48:33,622
Stop crying!

1258
01:48:36,275 --> 01:48:39,459
Your deceitful whining
won't work with me.

1259
01:48:39,753 --> 01:48:42,387
I've got other ways
to make you talk.

1260
01:48:43,397 --> 01:48:46,066
I don't believe in witches
and sorcerers,

1261
01:48:46,345 --> 01:48:50,510
even less in the hallucinations
of a brat like you.

1262
01:48:51,782 --> 01:48:54,061
So make up your mind
to tell me the truth.

1263
01:48:54,314 --> 01:48:57,125
I won't let go till you come clean.
Got that?

1264
01:48:59,021 --> 01:49:01,683
Now let's go see
what your parents think

1265
01:49:01,958 --> 01:49:04,508
of your version of the story.

1266
01:49:05,317 --> 01:49:07,162
Can you come with us?

1267
01:49:07,446 --> 01:49:08,641
Of course.

1268
01:49:10,917 --> 01:49:12,151
Hello, there!

1269
01:49:12,857 --> 01:49:14,138
Who do we have here?

1270
01:49:14,663 --> 01:49:15,933
Good afternoon.

1271
01:49:16,170 --> 01:49:17,410
Good afternoon, sir.

1272
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:21,014
Why do you eavesdrop?

1273
01:49:21,253 --> 01:49:25,395
We saw the teacher had visitors.
We didn't want to intrude.

1274
01:49:25,701 --> 01:49:28,224
We were waiting to talk to him.

1275
01:49:28,438 --> 01:49:29,691
What do you want?

1276
01:49:30,964 --> 01:49:32,782
To ask you about Karli.

1277
01:49:32,981 --> 01:49:34,126
Like what?

1278
01:49:35,335 --> 01:49:37,222
We heard he isn't well.

1279
01:49:37,939 --> 01:49:40,056
We wondered if we could help.

1280
01:49:43,294 --> 01:49:44,474
You'll be all right...

1281
01:49:52,255 --> 01:49:53,868
I know, it hurts.

1282
01:50:04,604 --> 01:50:06,454
Be patient...

1283
01:50:14,710 --> 01:50:16,375
Everything will be fine again.

1284
01:50:17,164 --> 01:50:18,666
It'll be fine.

1285
01:50:29,672 --> 01:50:31,387
I have to go now, Karli.

1286
01:50:33,352 --> 01:50:35,001
Don't worry.

1287
01:50:36,396 --> 01:50:37,850
I'll be back tomorrow.

1288
01:50:42,505 --> 01:50:44,726
You'll be all right.
Don't be afraid.

1289
01:50:44,998 --> 01:50:46,436
The doctor will be back.

1290
01:52:45,335 --> 01:52:46,566
Come in!

1291
01:52:56,147 --> 01:52:57,300
Yes?

1292
01:53:14,069 --> 01:53:15,204
What is it?

1293
01:53:17,495 --> 01:53:19,191
To replace Piepsi.

1294
01:53:19,896 --> 01:53:22,720
Because you're so sad.

1295
01:53:30,102 --> 01:53:31,267
Thank you.

1296
01:53:34,168 --> 01:53:35,860
You're welcome, Father.

1297
01:54:26,727 --> 01:54:28,852
- Give me the whistle!
- Sorry?

1298
01:54:29,147 --> 01:54:31,142
The whistle!

1299
01:54:31,485 --> 01:54:33,152
What whistle?

1300
01:54:33,992 --> 01:54:35,207
Give it to me!

1301
01:54:35,732 --> 01:54:37,177
What whistle?

1302
01:54:39,722 --> 01:54:41,402
Give it, or I'll kill you.

1303
01:54:41,684 --> 01:54:43,685
I have no whistle.

1304
01:54:45,104 --> 01:54:47,051
Bastard!

1305
01:54:47,388 --> 01:54:49,094
Wretch!

1306
01:54:49,327 --> 01:54:50,724
For God's sake,

1307
01:54:51,385 --> 01:54:52,782
what's got into you?

1308
01:54:53,344 --> 01:54:54,547
What has he done?

1309
01:54:55,555 --> 01:54:59,520
For the last time, give it to me!

1310
01:54:59,767 --> 01:55:01,219
Give you what, Father?

1311
01:55:01,488 --> 01:55:02,658
What is it?

1312
01:55:03,064 --> 01:55:04,633
What are you talking about?

1313
01:55:05,739 --> 01:55:07,404
You know what I mean!

1314
01:55:08,478 --> 01:55:10,840
But if he says so!
What's going on?

1315
01:55:17,095 --> 01:55:18,678
Please wait!

1316
01:55:19,945 --> 01:55:21,633
What did the boy do?

1317
01:55:21,914 --> 01:55:23,524
Calm down.

1318
01:55:24,330 --> 01:55:28,038
Stay out of it!
I have to go back to the Baron.

1319
01:55:46,305 --> 01:55:49,235
Georg! Please, don't!

1320
01:55:49,636 --> 01:55:51,598
You'll kill him!

1321
01:55:52,655 --> 01:55:56,167
... with the birch-trees in Retenow,
it'll be 6,000 cubic meters.

1322
01:55:57,145 --> 01:56:00,137
It'll take them around three weeks.

1323
01:56:02,671 --> 01:56:05,419
And now we have 80 extra Poles.

1324
01:56:06,158 --> 01:56:08,436
They've been put up in the annex.

1325
01:56:08,743 --> 01:56:10,937
We're all out of bedding.

1326
01:56:12,462 --> 01:56:14,068
It takes time.

1327
01:56:15,709 --> 01:56:17,603
There are lots of kids with them.

1328
01:56:18,473 --> 01:56:19,897
In spite of it...

1329
01:56:19,933 --> 01:56:21,577
I won't stay here.

1330
01:56:22,175 --> 01:56:23,379
What?

1331
01:56:24,204 --> 01:56:25,745
I won't stay here.

1332
01:56:30,454 --> 01:56:31,707
What does that mean?

1333
01:56:32,266 --> 01:56:34,498
That I'm leaving with the children.

1334
01:56:35,652 --> 01:56:37,025
What do you mean?

1335
01:56:37,314 --> 01:56:39,741
Armin!
That's not so hard to understand.

1336
01:56:43,529 --> 01:56:44,831
How do you plan to do all this?

1337
01:56:46,598 --> 01:56:48,145
I don't know yet.

1338
01:56:48,940 --> 01:56:51,670
But in any case,
we're leaving this place.

1339
01:56:51,765 --> 01:56:52,915
"We"?

1340
01:56:54,167 --> 01:56:55,218
Yes.

1341
01:57:14,373 --> 01:57:15,735
That'll be all, thank you.

1342
01:57:16,010 --> 01:57:17,948
Good night, Baroness and Baron.

1343
01:57:34,448 --> 01:57:37,531
I only came back
out of fairness to you.

1344
01:57:41,342 --> 01:57:43,142
To give us a chance.

1345
01:57:47,637 --> 01:57:49,817
You gave me a chance?

1346
01:57:51,971 --> 01:57:54,663
Wonderful! And I missed my chance?

1347
01:57:55,737 --> 01:57:58,447
Will that help us
to solve the problem?

1348
01:57:58,699 --> 01:57:59,884
What?

1349
01:57:59,885 --> 01:58:01,284
Your sarcasm.

1350
01:58:01,358 --> 01:58:04,319
What is the problem
we have to solve?

1351
01:58:07,772 --> 01:58:09,110
You stay here!

1352
01:58:13,274 --> 01:58:15,358
You'll only leave when I say so.

1353
01:58:24,626 --> 01:58:25,945
Fine.

1354
01:58:36,506 --> 01:58:39,030
I was hoping to spare you this.

1355
01:58:43,050 --> 01:58:46,426
At Uncle Edoardo's
I fell in love with a man.

1356
01:58:48,297 --> 01:58:50,076
He's from Lombardy

1357
01:58:50,313 --> 01:58:54,192
and is a banker who advised
Uncle Edoardo financially.

1358
01:58:56,434 --> 01:58:58,150
He courted me assiduously

1359
01:58:59,149 --> 01:59:01,517
and was very fond of the children.

1360
01:59:03,842 --> 01:59:07,295
It was thanks to him
that Sigi has blossomed.

1361
01:59:11,464 --> 01:59:13,529
Despite this, we came back.

1362
01:59:14,999 --> 01:59:17,024
Because I felt committed to you.

1363
01:59:20,179 --> 01:59:22,454
But I can't stand this place
any longer.

1364
01:59:23,503 --> 01:59:25,354
Not so much personally,

1365
01:59:26,052 --> 01:59:28,639
though life with you

1366
01:59:28,640 --> 01:59:31,226
isn't thrilling
for a woman of my age.

1367
01:59:34,245 --> 01:59:38,099
I'm leaving so the children
don't grow up in surroundings

1368
01:59:38,330 --> 01:59:41,271
that are dominated by malice,

1369
01:59:42,448 --> 01:59:43,640
envy,

1370
01:59:44,281 --> 01:59:46,946
apathy and brutality.

1371
01:59:50,841 --> 01:59:53,904
Sigi's whistle was the last straw.

1372
01:59:57,028 --> 01:59:59,016
I'm sick and tired of persecutions,

1373
01:59:59,899 --> 02:00:02,491
threats
and perverse acts of revenge.

1374
02:00:09,023 --> 02:00:10,565
Did you sleep with him?

1375
02:00:12,799 --> 02:00:14,759
You don't understand anything.

1376
02:00:15,392 --> 02:00:17,074
Did you sleep with him?

1377
02:00:23,192 --> 02:00:24,893
No. I didn't sleep with him.

1378
02:00:27,294 --> 02:00:29,502
You're lying, right?

1379
02:00:37,306 --> 02:00:38,348
Come in!

1380
02:00:41,325 --> 02:00:42,651
Good evening.

1381
02:00:44,223 --> 02:00:45,436
Good evening, Baroness.

1382
02:00:45,859 --> 02:00:48,416
- Can I talk to you?
- Can't it wait?

1383
02:00:48,598 --> 02:00:51,869
No, or I wouldn't have
disturbed you so late.

1384
02:02:08,041 --> 02:02:09,246
What is it?

1385
02:02:11,330 --> 02:02:14,456
They've assassinated
Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo.

1386
02:02:16,931 --> 02:02:20,285
The news spread around the village
like wildfire.

1387
02:02:21,177 --> 02:02:23,135
What would the consequences be?

1388
02:02:23,988 --> 02:02:27,522
The first who said "war",
was severely contradicted.

1389
02:02:28,726 --> 02:02:31,150
But once the word had been uttered,

1390
02:02:31,394 --> 02:02:35,805
it remained stubbornly
at the center of all our thoughts.

1391
02:02:37,625 --> 02:02:41,446
I wanted to go to town quickly
to discuss with Eva

1392
02:02:41,665 --> 02:02:44,994
what we should do
if war broke out.

1393
02:02:45,669 --> 02:02:49,549
Maybe her father would now agreed
to an earlier marriage.

1394
02:02:51,475 --> 02:02:53,595
I asked the Baroness for the bicycle

1395
02:02:53,744 --> 02:02:56,410
that Eva had borrowed previously.

1396
02:02:57,246 --> 02:03:01,342
I planned to use it
to visit her Sunday.

1397
02:03:03,311 --> 02:03:07,525
Friday when I went to pick up
the bicycle,

1398
02:03:07,993 --> 02:03:11,388
I witnessed a strange confrontation.

1399
02:03:23,176 --> 02:03:24,848
What is it, Mrs Wagner?

1400
02:03:26,826 --> 02:03:28,161
Can I borrow your bicycle?

1401
02:03:28,420 --> 02:03:31,189
- It's not mine.
- Can I borrow it anyway?

1402
02:03:31,496 --> 02:03:34,777
I just borrowed it myself.
To visit my fiancée.

1403
02:03:35,042 --> 02:03:36,394
Please!

1404
02:03:36,800 --> 02:03:38,758
Where do you want to go?

1405
02:03:39,077 --> 02:03:40,514
- To town.
- What for?

1406
02:03:40,768 --> 02:03:45,012
The stubborn steward
won't lend me a carriage.

1407
02:03:45,829 --> 02:03:47,662
Please lend it to me.

1408
02:03:47,922 --> 02:03:49,635
Why? What for?

1409
02:03:49,988 --> 02:03:53,407
To go to the police.
I know who committed those crimes.

1410
02:03:53,523 --> 02:03:54,713
Who?

1411
02:03:55,579 --> 02:03:56,974
Can I have the bicycle?

1412
02:03:57,827 --> 02:03:59,306
Why not tell me?

1413
02:03:59,532 --> 02:04:03,076
I'll only talk to the police.
I'm sick of insults.

1414
02:04:04,868 --> 02:04:06,796
What about the doctor's horse?

1415
02:04:07,029 --> 02:04:08,726
I don't know how to ride.

1416
02:04:11,044 --> 02:04:13,936
Please! Believe me!

1417
02:04:14,134 --> 02:04:17,010
My son told me who did it to him.

1418
02:04:18,602 --> 02:04:20,314
He may lose his eyesight.

1419
02:04:21,234 --> 02:04:22,875
Lend it to me!

1420
02:04:26,322 --> 02:04:27,484
Thanks!

1421
02:04:31,119 --> 02:04:34,750
I was so sorry that I gave in.

1422
02:04:35,285 --> 02:04:37,628
But the state of that woman,

1423
02:04:37,629 --> 02:04:39,972
usually so level headed, upset me.

1424
02:04:40,732 --> 02:04:44,897
What had she found out
that she didn't dare tell?

1425
02:04:46,190 --> 02:04:49,678
Back in the village,
I decided to investigate.

1426
02:05:01,761 --> 02:05:02,996
Hello, sir.

1427
02:05:03,582 --> 02:05:04,795
Hello, Klara.

1428
02:05:07,264 --> 02:05:08,563
What are you doing here?

1429
02:05:10,985 --> 02:05:12,884
We wanted to see how Karli was.

1430
02:05:12,921 --> 02:05:16,323
Can't you see it's closed up?

1431
02:05:16,942 --> 02:05:18,739
Yes. We were worried.

1432
02:05:19,178 --> 02:05:22,285
We saw Mrs Wagner
bicycling off.

1433
02:05:23,128 --> 02:05:25,293
We wondered
what had happened to Karli.

1434
02:05:29,261 --> 02:05:31,640
Go home.
You don't belong in here.

1435
02:05:46,227 --> 02:05:47,973
Go on home.

1436
02:05:49,198 --> 02:05:50,408
Good bye, teacher.

1437
02:05:57,522 --> 02:06:02,211
I wondered why the midwife
had closed the shutters.

1438
02:06:02,718 --> 02:06:05,355
Nobody in the village
locked their house.

1439
02:06:05,907 --> 02:06:09,141
Why had the midwife
locked in her son?

1440
02:06:09,566 --> 02:06:11,049
Karli, can you hear me?

1441
02:06:16,080 --> 02:06:18,892
I thought of Erna's dream again.

1442
02:06:19,210 --> 02:06:20,981
What if Erna hadn't dreamt it,

1443
02:06:21,018 --> 02:06:23,865
but knew that Karli
would be tortured,

1444
02:06:24,450 --> 02:06:26,772
who had told her?

1445
02:06:27,111 --> 02:06:29,744
Who wouldn't she denounce?

1446
02:06:30,969 --> 02:06:34,861
The kids' interest in Karli
seemed strange to me.

1447
02:06:35,226 --> 02:06:38,940
Usually, because of his disability,

1448
02:06:38,977 --> 02:06:45,231
they had no contact with him,
or treated him disdainfully.

1449
02:06:46,465 --> 02:06:48,845
When the midwife
couldn't take care of him,

1450
02:06:49,170 --> 02:06:52,756
she entrusted him to me
or the doctor.

1451
02:06:53,060 --> 02:06:56,661
But since his mishap,
I hadn't seen him again.

1452
02:06:57,671 --> 02:07:00,934
Worried,
I decided to ask the doctor.

1453
02:07:01,270 --> 02:07:04,099
OFFICE CLOSED
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

1454
02:07:09,767 --> 02:07:12,362
- Wasn't his daughter in school?
- Yes, she was.

1455
02:07:13,413 --> 02:07:15,029
And she said nothing?

1456
02:07:16,919 --> 02:07:18,185
I have a request...

1457
02:07:19,334 --> 02:07:21,374
Could I talk to Klara and Martin?

1458
02:07:21,639 --> 02:07:23,341
Won't you wait for my husband?

1459
02:07:23,677 --> 02:07:26,607
He's at the church.
The service is almost over.

1460
02:07:27,436 --> 02:07:29,414
But if you insist, please come in.

1461
02:07:31,373 --> 02:07:32,749
Be seated.

1462
02:07:33,798 --> 02:07:35,171
I'll fetch them for you.

1463
02:08:11,931 --> 02:08:13,131
Good evening, sir.

1464
02:08:14,847 --> 02:08:16,455
Won't you sit down?

1465
02:08:17,072 --> 02:08:18,721
Yes. Perhaps. With pleasure.

1466
02:08:19,664 --> 02:08:21,476
Can I offer you something?

1467
02:08:23,978 --> 02:08:26,106
A coffee,
like during the piano lessons?

1468
02:08:28,199 --> 02:08:30,524
Yes, with pleasure.
Very kind of you.

1469
02:08:30,758 --> 02:08:32,115
I'll be right back.

1470
02:08:37,718 --> 02:08:40,252
Did you know the doctor
was leaving Eichwald?

1471
02:08:42,066 --> 02:08:44,315
You're not surprised by my question?

1472
02:08:44,519 --> 02:08:47,902
Our mother just told us.

1473
02:08:49,442 --> 02:08:51,717
Anna didn't tell you?

1474
02:08:55,145 --> 02:08:56,568
Not a word?

1475
02:08:58,067 --> 02:09:01,361
It's odd not to say
you're going away on a trip.

1476
02:09:01,398 --> 02:09:03,207
Anna doesn't say much.

1477
02:09:03,208 --> 02:09:05,017
But this was completely different.

1478
02:09:07,997 --> 02:09:10,060
You're hiding something from me.

1479
02:09:10,388 --> 02:09:11,472
What?

1480
02:09:12,125 --> 02:09:14,231
I'm waiting for you to tell me.

1481
02:09:18,270 --> 02:09:20,603
When you looked for Karli,

1482
02:09:20,639 --> 02:09:22,474
what did you want from him?

1483
02:09:22,718 --> 02:09:24,699
We were worried. He's ill.

1484
02:09:24,736 --> 02:09:26,840
I'm asking Martin.

1485
02:09:27,737 --> 02:09:30,085
Yes. He isn't well.

1486
02:09:30,121 --> 02:09:32,462
And since his mother was leaving

1487
02:09:33,065 --> 02:09:35,600
we thought we'd pay him a visit.

1488
02:09:44,049 --> 02:09:47,717
Did you ever wonder
who mistreated Karli?

1489
02:09:49,443 --> 02:09:50,928
And Sigi?

1490
02:09:53,370 --> 02:09:55,736
Who tied the wire
to trip the doctor?

1491
02:09:55,962 --> 02:09:57,802
Who set fire to the barn?

1492
02:09:59,523 --> 02:10:00,630
No?

1493
02:10:00,777 --> 02:10:02,168
Of course, we wondered.

1494
02:10:02,438 --> 02:10:03,554
Well?

1495
02:10:04,203 --> 02:10:07,377
Father said
it must be a sick person.

1496
02:10:11,059 --> 02:10:15,535
Sigi was with you at Thanksgiving.
And Karli always wenet along.

1497
02:10:16,230 --> 02:10:17,414
I don't understand.

1498
02:10:17,416 --> 02:10:18,607
No?

1499
02:10:25,607 --> 02:10:26,855
What did they do wrong?

1500
02:10:28,102 --> 02:10:30,243
- Who?
- Sigi and Karli.

1501
02:10:30,382 --> 02:10:31,641
Why?

1502
02:10:31,692 --> 02:10:34,517
They obviously were being punished.
For what?

1503
02:10:34,633 --> 02:10:35,807
I don't know.

1504
02:10:36,123 --> 02:10:39,073
Erna foresaw that Karli
would be punished. What for?

1505
02:10:39,363 --> 02:10:40,564
I don't know!

1506
02:10:42,962 --> 02:10:44,199
Why ask us?

1507
02:10:44,236 --> 02:10:47,796
You're a smart girl, Klara.
Don't play dumb.

1508
02:10:50,725 --> 02:10:51,815
I don't understand.

1509
02:10:52,053 --> 02:10:55,556
Talk about this
with Father or Mother.

1510
02:10:55,769 --> 02:10:57,348
Shall I get them?

1511
02:10:57,495 --> 02:10:58,951
Martin, will you go?

1512
02:10:58,987 --> 02:11:00,783
Stay here, Martin.

1513
02:11:01,086 --> 02:11:03,835
I'll see them later.
Now, I'm talking to you.

1514
02:11:04,047 --> 02:11:06,513
Tell me the truth.

1515
02:11:06,756 --> 02:11:09,081
- Where were you when Karli was...
- Here.

1516
02:11:09,290 --> 02:11:11,747
I mean, after the confirmation?

1517
02:11:12,732 --> 02:11:14,310
Coffee's coming.

1518
02:11:18,908 --> 02:11:20,712
Could the children help you?

1519
02:11:22,947 --> 02:11:25,236
I'm afraid not. They know nothing.

1520
02:11:27,364 --> 02:11:29,734
His daughter said nothing at school?

1521
02:11:30,499 --> 02:11:31,564
No.

1522
02:11:32,833 --> 02:11:34,239
Sorry I disturbed you.

1523
02:11:34,276 --> 02:11:38,882
Stay! My husband is coming,
and the coffee is almost ready.

1524
02:11:38,919 --> 02:11:42,819
Thanks, but I'm worried
about the midwife's son.

1525
02:11:44,807 --> 02:11:48,031
- She didn't say when she'd be back?
- I didn't ask her.

1526
02:11:48,813 --> 02:11:51,299
She caught me off guard.
She was panicked.

1527
02:11:51,622 --> 02:11:53,511
Wait, I hear my husband.

1528
02:11:53,547 --> 02:11:57,107
Good evening.

1529
02:11:58,381 --> 02:12:00,318
The teacher was waiting for you.

1530
02:12:01,161 --> 02:12:03,505
Yes. I'd like a word with you.

1531
02:12:03,780 --> 02:12:07,218
Please. Let's go to my study.
It's quieter.

1532
02:12:12,175 --> 02:12:14,181
What's this about?

1533
02:12:17,019 --> 02:12:19,183
I spoke to the midwife:

1534
02:12:19,373 --> 02:12:22,190
she said she knew
who tortured her son.

1535
02:12:23,501 --> 02:12:27,531
She'll only tell the police,
and went to town.

1536
02:12:30,183 --> 02:12:31,226
Well?

1537
02:12:32,736 --> 02:12:36,423
She left the boy behind alone
and locked the house.

1538
02:12:37,693 --> 02:12:39,097
Locked it?

1539
02:12:41,590 --> 02:12:43,836
I went to ask the doctor

1540
02:12:43,872 --> 02:12:46,221
if he was caring
for the child, but...

1541
02:12:48,148 --> 02:12:51,291
there's a paper saying
that the office is closed.

1542
02:12:51,598 --> 02:12:54,140
He and his kids have disappeared.

1543
02:12:54,550 --> 02:12:55,686
What does it mean?

1544
02:12:55,875 --> 02:12:57,179
I don't know.

1545
02:12:57,960 --> 02:13:00,960
I thought you might know.
That's why I'm here.

1546
02:13:01,487 --> 02:13:02,577
I have no idea.

1547
02:13:04,255 --> 02:13:05,705
Please be seated.

1548
02:13:09,953 --> 02:13:12,536
Wasn't his daughter in school?

1549
02:13:12,767 --> 02:13:15,497
Yes. She mentioned nothing.

1550
02:13:18,714 --> 02:13:22,459
I asked Klara and Martin.
They know nothing either.

1551
02:13:23,028 --> 02:13:24,459
Why should they?

1552
02:13:26,956 --> 02:13:28,258
I don't know...

1553
02:13:29,347 --> 02:13:33,524
I went to Mrs Wagner's place:
they and some others were there.

1554
02:13:33,867 --> 02:13:35,304
To do what?

1555
02:13:35,714 --> 02:13:37,174
They were looking for the boy.

1556
02:13:37,510 --> 02:13:38,592
Why?

1557
02:13:39,254 --> 02:13:40,988
They wanted to help him.

1558
02:13:42,432 --> 02:13:43,531
So what?

1559
02:13:46,347 --> 02:13:48,208
I don't know how to say it...

1560
02:13:48,834 --> 02:13:51,122
I think they're hiding something.

1561
02:13:51,235 --> 02:13:52,413
What?

1562
02:13:54,676 --> 02:13:55,983
I don't know.

1563
02:13:57,570 --> 02:13:59,984
When the doctor had his accident,

1564
02:14:00,261 --> 02:14:01,963
last year,

1565
02:14:03,097 --> 02:14:07,307
they appeared in his garden.
Supposedly, to help Anna.

1566
02:14:09,264 --> 02:14:10,424
Yes... and?

1567
02:14:12,368 --> 02:14:14,505
Nothing. I had forgotten it.

1568
02:14:15,322 --> 02:14:17,319
I just remembered today.

1569
02:14:18,642 --> 02:14:19,874
I don't understand.

1570
02:14:21,714 --> 02:14:24,305
When the Baron's son was found...

1571
02:14:24,511 --> 02:14:26,739
He'd been with the children
just before.

1572
02:14:30,179 --> 02:14:31,560
What are you getting at?

1573
02:14:33,131 --> 02:14:34,841
The steward's daughter

1574
02:14:35,167 --> 02:14:39,991
predicted that Karli
would be beaten.

1575
02:14:40,356 --> 02:14:42,365
She says she dreamt it.

1576
02:14:42,879 --> 02:14:44,810
The police think she's lying.

1577
02:14:45,655 --> 02:14:49,031
From whom did she find out?
Who told her?

1578
02:15:06,063 --> 02:15:09,352
You're saying that your pupils,
my children included,

1579
02:15:09,388 --> 02:15:12,422
committed these crimes.
Is that right?

1580
02:15:16,395 --> 02:15:18,034
You realize what you're saying?

1581
02:15:19,062 --> 02:15:20,818
Do you really know...

1582
02:15:35,652 --> 02:15:37,627
I assume I'm the first person

1583
02:15:38,691 --> 02:15:41,388
to hear these monstrosities.

1584
02:15:43,822 --> 02:15:46,219
If you ever dare

1585
02:15:46,992 --> 02:15:48,894
to bother others with this,

1586
02:15:49,898 --> 02:15:51,631
if you ever accuse

1587
02:15:51,962 --> 02:15:54,682
respectable families and their children

1588
02:15:54,969 --> 02:15:56,748
and denounce them publicly,

1589
02:15:57,913 --> 02:16:01,146
I'll make sure, take my word for it,

1590
02:16:01,397 --> 02:16:03,009
that you go to prison.

1591
02:16:04,200 --> 02:16:08,287
I've seen a lot
during my work as a pastor,

1592
02:16:08,324 --> 02:16:12,027
but never anything so repulsive!

1593
02:16:14,051 --> 02:16:16,505
One can tell you have no children.

1594
02:16:18,053 --> 02:16:21,305
Or you wouldn't stoop
to such aberrations.

1595
02:16:23,775 --> 02:16:25,464
You have a sick mind.

1596
02:16:26,654 --> 02:16:30,869
How did they let you loose
among those poor creatures!

1597
02:16:32,707 --> 02:16:36,208
I'll speak to the authorities
about this.

1598
02:16:37,055 --> 02:16:39,104
Now get out of my house!

1599
02:16:40,544 --> 02:16:42,413
I don't want to see you here again.

1600
02:16:49,576 --> 02:16:51,847
The midwife didn't come back.

1601
02:16:52,931 --> 02:16:56,105
I waited until morning,
two days later.

1602
02:16:56,448 --> 02:16:57,913
Then I went to the manor house

1603
02:16:57,949 --> 02:17:00,150
to inform the Baron.

1604
02:17:00,436 --> 02:17:03,583
He told the steward
and said to open the house

1605
02:17:03,619 --> 02:17:05,616
and take care of the disabled boy.

1606
02:17:05,929 --> 02:17:07,128
I'll look upstairs.

1607
02:17:08,849 --> 02:17:11,597
I'd never been
in the midwife's house

1608
02:17:11,881 --> 02:17:13,163
and felt uncomfortable

1609
02:17:13,199 --> 02:17:17,227
barging into somebody else's place
without asking.

1610
02:17:18,921 --> 02:17:20,406
It was strange,

1611
02:17:21,203 --> 02:17:25,220
but while we still searched
and called out Karli's name,

1612
02:17:25,256 --> 02:17:28,511
I already knew
our search was in vain.

1613
02:17:29,204 --> 02:17:33,802
Anyone who knew how devoted
the midwife was to her son,

1614
02:17:34,056 --> 02:17:39,704
knew she'd never have abandoned
her wounded Karli.

1615
02:17:42,336 --> 02:17:44,142
During the next few weeks,

1616
02:17:44,179 --> 02:17:47,432
the village gossips worked overtime.

1617
02:17:48,080 --> 02:17:51,491
Some claimed the doctor
was Karli's father.

1618
02:17:51,831 --> 02:17:54,561
He and the midwife
had tried to abort the child

1619
02:17:54,598 --> 02:17:58,233
so their relationship
wouldn't be found out,

1620
02:17:58,476 --> 02:18:02,110
and that's how
the child was disabled.

1621
02:18:02,962 --> 02:18:04,881
Some even claimed

1622
02:18:04,917 --> 02:18:09,397
that the death of the doctor's wife
was suspect,

1623
02:18:09,434 --> 02:18:13,744
and the two might very well
be responsible for it.

1624
02:18:14,948 --> 02:18:16,988
Better still,
the doctor and the midwife,

1625
02:18:16,989 --> 02:18:19,029
as potential murderers,y

1626
02:18:19,065 --> 02:18:23,595
had also perpetrated
all the other crimes.

1627
02:18:23,945 --> 02:18:26,904
Wanting to spare
his legitimate children and himself

1628
02:18:26,940 --> 02:18:30,044
from public disclosure of his guilt,

1629
02:18:30,081 --> 02:18:33,339
the doctor had fled with them.

1630
02:18:34,769 --> 02:18:39,266
On July 28th,
Austria declared war on Serbia.

1631
02:18:39,500 --> 02:18:43,766
On Saturday, August 1st,
Germany declared war on Russia,

1632
02:18:43,802 --> 02:18:46,851
and on France the following Monday.

1633
02:18:48,523 --> 02:18:53,029
The solemn service next Sunday
was attended by the whole village.

1634
02:18:53,209 --> 02:18:57,001
A feeling of expectation
and departure was in the air.

1635
02:18:57,319 --> 02:18:59,852
Now everything was going to change.

1636
02:19:00,482 --> 02:19:04,059
Eva's father,
in the face of the coming war,

1637
02:19:04,290 --> 02:19:06,483
had taken his daughter back home,

1638
02:19:06,484 --> 02:19:10,143
and, at her pleading,
had come to Eichwald

1639
02:19:10,460 --> 02:19:15,383
where his future son-in-law lived
and worked, to look it over.

1640
02:19:16,338 --> 02:19:20,547
The prospect of soon calling
this beloved creature my wife

1641
02:19:20,583 --> 02:19:23,865
also made this a festive day for me.

1642
02:19:24,756 --> 02:19:27,801
The pastor never mentioned
our conversation again.

1643
02:19:28,055 --> 02:19:32,845
And apparently never went through
with his threat to denounce me.

1644
02:19:33,878 --> 02:19:37,182
I was drafted at the start of 1917.

1645
02:19:37,464 --> 02:19:40,866
After the war,
as my father had died meanwhile,

1646
02:19:41,178 --> 02:19:43,348
I sold his house in Vasendorf,

1647
02:19:43,721 --> 02:19:47,905
and with the money
opened a tailor's shop in town.

1648
02:19:48,200 --> 02:19:50,981
I never saw
any of the villagers again.
