00:01:40.609 --> 00:01:43.988
<i>I don't know if the story
I want to tell you</i>

00:01:44.191 --> 00:01:46.168
<i>is entirely true.</i>

00:01:47.208 --> 00:01:49.541
<i>Some of it I only know by hearsay.</i>

00:01:49.982 --> 00:01:54.023
<i>After so many years,
a lot of it is still obscure,</i>

00:01:54.330 --> 00:01:57.293
<i>and many questions
remain unanswered.</i>

00:01:57.984 --> 00:02:00.525
<i>But I think I must tell
of the strange events</i>

00:02:00.869 --> 00:02:04.541
<i>that occurred in our village.</i>

00:02:04.943 --> 00:02:07.607
<i>They could perhaps</i>

00:02:07.721 --> 00:02:11.062
<i>clarify some things
that happened in this country.</i>

00:02:11.745 --> 00:02:15.829
<i>It all began, I think,
with the doctor's riding accident.</i>

00:02:16.987 --> 00:02:20.010
<i>After his dressage session
on the Baron's estate,</i>

00:02:20.451 --> 00:02:23.642
<i>he was headed home,</i>

00:02:24.138 --> 00:02:27.071
<i>to see if any patients had arrived.</i>

00:02:27.660 --> 00:02:29.730
<i>Entering the garden,</i>

00:02:30.165 --> 00:02:32.867
<i>his horse tripped on a wire</i>

00:02:33.002 --> 00:02:34.948
<i>strung between two trees.</i>

00:02:35.823 --> 00:02:40.284
<i>His daughter saw the accident
from a window,</i>

00:02:40.704 --> 00:02:43.046
<i>informed their neighbor,</i>

00:02:43.161 --> 00:02:45.295
<i>who informed the estate's steward,</i>

00:02:45.604 --> 00:02:47.935
<i>so that the agonizing doctor</i>

00:02:48.295 --> 00:02:51.119
<i>could be transported
to the district hospital</i>

00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.663
<i>over 30 km away.</i>

00:02:54.914 --> 00:02:58.551
<i>The neighbor,
a single woman of around 40,</i>

00:02:58.774 --> 00:03:00.209
<i>was the village midwife.</i>

00:03:00.419 --> 00:03:03.590
<i>Since the death of the doctor's wife
in childbirth,</i>

00:03:04.062 --> 00:03:09.214
<i>she had become invaluable for him
as housekeeper and receptionist.</i>

00:03:10.371 --> 00:03:12.815
<i>After tending the doctor's
two children,</i>

00:03:13.313 --> 00:03:16.372
<i>she went to the school
to fetch her own son, Karl.</i>

00:03:16.712 --> 00:03:19.077
- Have you seen Anni?
- You don't say hello?

00:03:19.796 --> 00:03:21.248
Hello, Mrs Wagner. Forgive him.

00:03:21.312 --> 00:03:22.480
Hi, Klara.

00:03:22.531 --> 00:03:25.626
We're so worried
that Martin forgot his manners.

00:03:26.071 --> 00:03:27.153
That's all right.

00:03:27.201 --> 00:03:28.580
How is the Doctor?

00:03:28.715 --> 00:03:29.955
Not very well.

00:03:30.020 --> 00:03:32.178
- Must he stay in the hospital?
- I don't know.

00:03:32.495 --> 00:03:34.731
We'll go see Anna, to help her out.

00:03:34.902 --> 00:03:35.938
Good!

00:03:35.995 --> 00:03:37.582
- You enjoyed the choir?
- Yes.

00:03:37.909 --> 00:03:39.718
Show how well you sang.

00:03:49.528 --> 00:03:51.075
Good bye, teacher.

00:03:56.127 --> 00:03:57.664
Last one is a rotten egg!

00:04:02.026 --> 00:04:04.404
<i>If I remember correctly,</i>

00:04:05.445 --> 00:04:09.488
<i>it seemed odd to me
that the kids around Klara,</i>

00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:13.603
<i>instead of scattering
after school to their homes,</i>

00:04:14.346 --> 00:04:18.353
<i>headed together
to the exit of the village.</i>

00:04:18.704 --> 00:04:21.861
I could cut out some animals
for you,

00:04:22.756 --> 00:04:24.188
like last week.

00:04:25.966 --> 00:04:27.263
You'd like that?

00:04:37.830 --> 00:04:39.837
We can color them together.

00:04:44.111 --> 00:04:46.917
Or cut them
from the lovely colored paper?

00:04:47.338 --> 00:04:50.611
The golden one
that I got for Easter?

00:04:54.662 --> 00:04:55.911
Come on...

00:05:17.549 --> 00:05:20.398
Well, I'll make us something to eat.

00:05:20.775 --> 00:05:23.699
What if he never comes back?

00:05:25.482 --> 00:05:26.531
What?

00:05:27.185 --> 00:05:28.416
Come on!

00:05:30.376 --> 00:05:31.961
Don't be silly!

00:05:32.130 --> 00:05:34.790
It'll heal, just like the flu.

00:05:38.175 --> 00:05:40.443
Remember last winter?

00:05:42.589 --> 00:05:45.270
You were very sick, weren't you?

00:05:45.530 --> 00:05:46.652
And then...

00:06:31.217 --> 00:06:32.314
Hi, Anni!

00:06:32.419 --> 00:06:33.731
How are you?

00:06:33.910 --> 00:06:35.517
Can we help you?

00:06:36.853 --> 00:06:39.506
How did the wire get there?
Did the Doctor say?

00:06:39.670 --> 00:06:41.797
He was in no mood to talk:

00:06:41.934 --> 00:06:44.217
his collarbone
was stuck in his neck.

00:06:44.700 --> 00:06:47.692
I asked his daughter.
She has no idea.

00:06:47.972 --> 00:06:49.652
He rides through there daily.

00:06:49.908 --> 00:06:51.498
- Did you look at the wire?
- Sure.

00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.975
It's thin, but strong.

00:06:54.333 --> 00:06:56.033
Almost invisible.

00:07:16.702 --> 00:07:19.688
Sorry, Madame.
You play too well for me.

00:07:20.384 --> 00:07:23.605
Don't apologize, concentrate.
It'll help us both.

00:07:24.018 --> 00:07:28.117
You play too fast for me, M'am.
I'm not Frederic the Great.

00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:30.425
How could he have played Schubert?

00:07:30.593 --> 00:07:32.552
Let's do the Variation again.

00:07:53.364 --> 00:07:57.422
Darling, if you like the music,
sit beside me and turn the pages.

00:07:57.807 --> 00:08:00.168
If you're bored, go to your room.

00:08:00.307 --> 00:08:02.083
Or stay out of my sight.

00:08:02.159 --> 00:08:04.136
I get nervous if you saunter around.

00:08:07.768 --> 00:08:10.503
What time is it?
Where's the nanny?

00:08:11.363 --> 00:08:13.263
With the twins, I presume.

00:08:13.866 --> 00:08:15.764
- It's twenty to nine.
- Twenty to nine?

00:08:15.986 --> 00:08:17.686
Way past your bedtime!

00:08:17.795 --> 00:08:19.595
Has he done his homework?

00:08:19.833 --> 00:08:21.069
Of course, M'am.

00:08:22.752 --> 00:08:25.252
You want to turn the pages for me or not?

00:08:25.715 --> 00:08:26.739
Yes.

00:08:27.104 --> 00:08:28.476
Then come here!

00:08:29.614 --> 00:08:31.521
Let's go back to the Theme.

00:08:32.366 --> 00:08:34.948
Practice the Variations.
Or it's no fun.

00:08:35.695 --> 00:08:36.833
I'll do my best, Baroness.

00:08:37.376 --> 00:08:39.583
So from Bar 9.

00:08:50.675 --> 00:08:52.151
Please forgive us, Father.

00:08:54.438 --> 00:08:55.683
Forgive us.

00:09:00.427 --> 00:09:03.694
Tonight, no one here has eaten.

00:09:07.376 --> 00:09:09.946
When night fell,
and you hadn't returned,

00:09:10.288 --> 00:09:13.418
your mother searched the village
in tears.

00:09:16.110 --> 00:09:19.725
Could we have enjoyed our meal,
fearing for you?

00:09:21.780 --> 00:09:24.013
Can we enjoy our meal now,

00:09:24.255 --> 00:09:26.846
after hearing your lying excuses?

00:09:28.288 --> 00:09:30.522
I don't know what's worse:

00:09:30.695 --> 00:09:32.992
your absence, or your coming back.

00:09:36.414 --> 00:09:38.953
Tonight we'll all go to bed hungry.

00:09:48.670 --> 00:09:50.534
You surely agree with me

00:09:50.689 --> 00:09:53.378
that I can't leave
your offense unpunished

00:09:53.849 --> 00:09:56.996
if we want to keep on living
in mutual respect.

00:09:59.183 --> 00:10:01.813
So tomorrow evening at this hour,

00:10:02.171 --> 00:10:04.746
I'll give each of you,
in front of your siblings,

00:10:05.117 --> 00:10:07.040
ten strokes of the cane.

00:10:08.370 --> 00:10:11.539
Until then,
you may ponder over your offense.

00:10:13.940 --> 00:10:15.277
Do you agree with me?

00:10:15.955 --> 00:10:17.189
Yes, Father.

00:10:19.886 --> 00:10:22.211
All right then.
Go to bed now, all of you.

00:10:45.822 --> 00:10:47.086
Don't touch me!

00:10:48.686 --> 00:10:51.886
Your mother and I will sleep poorly:

00:10:52.099 --> 00:10:56.549
I have to beat you and the strokes
will cause us more pain than you.

00:10:59.735 --> 00:11:01.811
Leave us alone, and go to bed!

00:11:05.379 --> 00:11:07.355
When you were little,

00:11:08.224 --> 00:11:10.743
your mother sometimes tied a ribbon

00:11:10.852 --> 00:11:12.852
in your hair or around your arm.

00:11:13.594 --> 00:11:17.119
Its white color was to remind you
of innocence and purity.

00:11:19.952 --> 00:11:23.856
I thought you were now
well-mannered enough

00:11:24.303 --> 00:11:26.630
to get by without such reminders.

00:11:29.869 --> 00:11:31.248
I was wrong.

00:11:33.583 --> 00:11:36.827
Tomorrow, once your punishment
has purified you,

00:11:37.222 --> 00:11:39.354
your mother
will re-tie a ribbon on you,

00:11:39.687 --> 00:11:41.398
and you'll wear it

00:11:41.954 --> 00:11:45.665
until we can trust you again.

00:11:47.715 --> 00:11:49.466
Where is the wire now?

00:11:52.537 --> 00:11:53.902
Who removed it?

00:11:54.032 --> 00:11:55.122
I don't know.

00:11:55.206 --> 00:11:56.597
You weren't here?

00:11:59.777 --> 00:12:01.554
You were in town with your father?

00:12:01.665 --> 00:12:02.744
No.

00:12:02.949 --> 00:12:05.153
- Then you were here.
- I was at school.

00:12:05.324 --> 00:12:07.777
When you left,
was the wire still here?

00:12:07.926 --> 00:12:09.269
I didn't check.

00:12:10.449 --> 00:12:12.677
- When did you get back?
- At noon.

00:12:13.189 --> 00:12:15.795
I make lunch for the Doctor
and the kids.

00:12:15.935 --> 00:12:18.545
I've helped him since his wife died.

00:12:18.658 --> 00:12:19.857
Since when?

00:12:20.013 --> 00:12:22.631
Since Rudolf's birth, 5 years ago.

00:12:23.003 --> 00:12:25.149
I'm the midwife here.
We work together.

00:12:25.304 --> 00:12:27.271
- But you saw nothing?
- No.

00:12:28.367 --> 00:12:30.086
How long was the wire there?

00:12:30.160 --> 00:12:31.548
I never saw it.

00:12:32.714 --> 00:12:35.529
Nobody saw it before, or afterwards!

00:12:35.915 --> 00:12:39.547
It wound itself around two trees,
and vanished by itself!

00:12:40.841 --> 00:12:42.091
Right?

00:12:42.163 --> 00:12:43.288
Mom!

00:12:43.514 --> 00:12:44.748
What is it ?

00:12:50.050 --> 00:12:51.151
Excuse me.

00:12:51.199 --> 00:12:53.629
<i>The day after the doctor's accident</i>

00:12:54.188 --> 00:12:57.176
<i>brought no solution to the mystery.</i>

00:12:57.691 --> 00:13:00.668
<i>Then a second,
far more tragic incident,</i>

00:13:01.455 --> 00:13:04.422
<i>almost made people forget
the previous one.</i>

00:13:05.692 --> 00:13:09.783
<i>The wife of a tenant farmer
died in a work-accident.</i>

00:13:11.023 --> 00:13:14.565
<i>The woman, who had an injured arm,</i>

00:13:14.942 --> 00:13:18.851
<i>was dispensed by the steward
from harvesting chores,</i>

00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:24.124
<i>and assigned to lighter work
in the sawmill.</i>

00:13:32.121 --> 00:13:34.429
Stay outside! I'm not done.

00:13:35.189 --> 00:13:36.478
You get out!

00:15:10.494 --> 00:15:14.393
<i>On the same day,
I had a strange encounter.</i>

00:15:14.847 --> 00:15:17.284
<i>The weather was beautiful and hot,</i>

00:15:17.635 --> 00:15:22.307
<i>so I decided to improve my meager
menu with some brown trout,</i>

00:15:22.611 --> 00:15:25.388
<i>which are plentiful in the river.</i>

00:15:26.316 --> 00:15:29.870
<i>The Baron allowed me to fish there.</i>

00:15:33.158 --> 00:15:34.241
Martin!

00:15:50.079 --> 00:15:51.227
Martin, be careful!

00:15:53.112 --> 00:15:54.760
Are you insane?

00:15:54.986 --> 00:15:56.429
You want to break your neck?

00:15:56.669 --> 00:15:57.754
Hello, sir.

00:15:58.324 --> 00:16:00.542
What's this?
Have you gone mad?

00:16:01.029 --> 00:16:02.988
You know how high that is?

00:16:04.606 --> 00:16:06.448
Didn't you hear me shout to you?

00:16:06.880 --> 00:16:07.912
Yes, I did.

00:16:08.060 --> 00:16:09.188
Well?

00:16:12.035 --> 00:16:13.224
Well?

00:16:16.700 --> 00:16:18.882
You saw me and wanted to impress me?

00:16:21.584 --> 00:16:22.606
So why...

00:16:22.652 --> 00:16:25.345
I gave God a chance to kill me.

00:16:26.592 --> 00:16:29.995
He didn't do it.
So he's pleased with me.

00:16:30.222 --> 00:16:31.651
What are you saying?

00:16:32.538 --> 00:16:34.489
He doesn't want me to die.

00:16:34.971 --> 00:16:37.162
Who doesn't want you to die?

00:16:38.146 --> 00:16:39.152
God.

00:16:42.473 --> 00:16:44.438
Why would God want you to die?

00:16:51.871 --> 00:16:54.672
Promise me you won't do it again!

00:16:56.829 --> 00:16:58.101
Look at me!

00:16:59.219 --> 00:17:00.343
Promise it!

00:17:04.647 --> 00:17:06.555
You don't trust me, huh?

00:17:06.995 --> 00:17:08.261
Yes, I do, sir.

00:17:10.903 --> 00:17:12.109
All right.

00:17:12.780 --> 00:17:16.337
Go home. Tomorrow after your
piano lesson, I'll talk to your dad.

00:17:17.388 --> 00:17:19.299
No, please, don't tell him!

00:17:22.076 --> 00:17:23.208
It's there.

00:17:28.238 --> 00:17:29.959
Careful, it's all rotten.

00:17:41.388 --> 00:17:43.189
Who sent her up here?

00:17:43.354 --> 00:17:44.666
No idea.

00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.398
We had to collect loose ends.
She fell through.

00:17:50.194 --> 00:17:51.462
You saw it?

00:17:51.531 --> 00:17:52.835
Not really.

00:17:56.288 --> 00:17:57.727
You know how it works.

00:17:58.262 --> 00:18:01.857
The foremen assign
weaker harvesters up here.

00:18:04.299 --> 00:18:05.564
Who assigned her?

00:18:07.645 --> 00:18:11.202
<i>On my way home, after
that strange encounter with Martin,</i>

00:18:11.869 --> 00:18:14.791
<i>was when I first met Eva...</i>

00:18:15.708 --> 00:18:16.775
Hello!

00:18:17.115 --> 00:18:18.663
Excuse me!

00:18:21.723 --> 00:18:23.897
Sorry for accosting you.

00:18:24.624 --> 00:18:26.739
Aren't you the new nanny
on the estate?

00:18:27.757 --> 00:18:28.927
Why?

00:18:30.576 --> 00:18:32.320
They say you're from Treglitz.

00:18:33.302 --> 00:18:34.563
Who says that?

00:18:34.851 --> 00:18:36.136
The locals.

00:18:38.961 --> 00:18:40.112
So?

00:18:41.225 --> 00:18:42.277
Nothing...

00:18:42.973 --> 00:18:44.100
I don't know...

00:18:45.601 --> 00:18:47.234
I'm the schoolteacher here.

00:18:48.021 --> 00:18:49.161
I just thought...

00:18:51.017 --> 00:18:53.204
When I saw you, I thought...

00:18:54.520 --> 00:18:56.708
I'm the tailor's son from Vasendorf.

00:18:56.958 --> 00:18:58.229
- I know.
- What?

00:18:58.685 --> 00:18:59.997
The Baroness told me.

00:19:00.357 --> 00:19:01.363
What?

00:19:01.805 --> 00:19:04.358
That the teacher is
from the village next to mine.

00:19:04.553 --> 00:19:05.685
I see, yes...

00:19:06.586 --> 00:19:07.792
Well... I thought...

00:19:08.995 --> 00:19:11.037
Looks as if you're going there...

00:19:11.782 --> 00:19:12.826
Where?

00:19:13.165 --> 00:19:14.301
Back home. To Treglitz.

00:19:15.175 --> 00:19:16.315
Yes?

00:19:16.593 --> 00:19:17.902
- Are you going there?
- Yes, I am.

00:19:19.731 --> 00:19:20.983
I thought...

00:19:22.058 --> 00:19:26.166
since you'll go through our village,
you could...

00:19:26.600 --> 00:19:30.290
say hello to my dad,
and give him a fish?

00:19:31.824 --> 00:19:32.968
What?

00:19:33.423 --> 00:19:34.975
He'd love that.

00:19:35.432 --> 00:19:37.714
Especially over the weekend.

00:19:43.097 --> 00:19:44.289
How...?

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:45.899
I don't know.

00:19:46.045 --> 00:19:48.123
Unfortunately,
I have nothing to wrap...

00:19:51.706 --> 00:19:52.965
Neither do I.

00:19:54.029 --> 00:19:55.321
Unfortunately...

00:19:55.542 --> 00:19:58.433
We could tie them on
with fishing line.

00:19:58.685 --> 00:19:59.977
Just like that, on the bike?

00:20:02.835 --> 00:20:04.210
That's not a very good idea.

00:20:05.131 --> 00:20:06.650
Right, it was just an idea.

00:20:07.117 --> 00:20:08.161
Yes.

00:20:16.605 --> 00:20:17.819
Is it your bike?

00:20:17.906 --> 00:20:20.677
No, the estate's.

00:20:25.031 --> 00:20:26.607
Is this your first day off?

00:20:29.236 --> 00:20:31.093
You must be glad to go home.

00:20:33.225 --> 00:20:34.593
I can imagine.

00:20:40.022 --> 00:20:42.621
Well... I've still a long way to go.

00:20:44.870 --> 00:20:45.946
Well...

00:20:46.284 --> 00:20:47.362
Good-bye.

00:20:48.285 --> 00:20:49.345
Good-bye.

00:20:49.887 --> 00:20:51.753
If you see my father in Vasendorf,

00:20:51.869 --> 00:20:53.866
say hello to him from me.

00:20:55.077 --> 00:20:56.978
I don't know your father.

00:20:57.360 --> 00:20:58.568
That's true.

00:21:07.081 --> 00:21:08.939
It's my first time on a bike!

00:21:09.122 --> 00:21:10.429
You're doing fine!

00:21:10.707 --> 00:21:12.169
But be careful!

00:21:29.572 --> 00:21:33.233
The woman today,
what was wrong with her?

00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:34.526
Which woman?

00:21:37.138 --> 00:21:38.594
I see. She was dead.

00:21:42.600 --> 00:21:43.851
What's that?

00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:45.074
What?

00:21:46.539 --> 00:21:47.566
Dead.

00:21:48.927 --> 00:21:50.154
What's "dead"?

00:21:50.892 --> 00:21:52.983
Quite a question!

00:21:53.669 --> 00:21:56.004
It's when one doesn't live anymore.

00:21:56.386 --> 00:21:57.907
When one has stopped living.

00:21:58.972 --> 00:22:01.454
When does one stop living?

00:22:02.808 --> 00:22:05.630
When one is very old, or very ill.

00:22:06.997 --> 00:22:08.287
And the woman?

00:22:09.462 --> 00:22:11.182
She had an accident.

00:22:11.803 --> 00:22:13.008
An "accident"?

00:22:13.268 --> 00:22:16.077
Yes. It's when you're badly hurt.

00:22:16.798 --> 00:22:17.858
Like Dad?

00:22:18.718 --> 00:22:20.969
Yes, but much worse than that.

00:22:21.552 --> 00:22:24.138
So bad,
your body can't take it anymore.

00:22:26.841 --> 00:22:28.414
And then you're dead ?

00:22:29.635 --> 00:22:30.717
Yes.

00:22:32.261 --> 00:22:34.928
But most people
don't have an accident.

00:22:35.807 --> 00:22:39.008
- So they're not dead.
- No, they die much later.

00:22:39.558 --> 00:22:40.605
When?

00:22:41.825 --> 00:22:45.048
Well... later,
when they're really old.

00:22:49.170 --> 00:22:50.923
Does everyone die?

00:22:52.073 --> 00:22:53.160
Yes.

00:22:55.175 --> 00:22:56.508
Everyone, really?

00:22:56.889 --> 00:22:59.283
Yes, everyone has to die.

00:23:00.389 --> 00:23:02.051
But not you, Anni?

00:23:03.528 --> 00:23:04.697
Me too.

00:23:04.826 --> 00:23:05.986
Everyone.

00:23:07.619 --> 00:23:09.271
But not Dad?

00:23:10.056 --> 00:23:11.355
Dad too.

00:23:12.391 --> 00:23:13.560
Me too?

00:23:15.379 --> 00:23:17.775
You too.
But not for a very long time.

00:23:18.348 --> 00:23:19.899
All of us, only in a very long time.

00:23:21.774 --> 00:23:24.919
One can't fight it?
It has to happen?

00:23:26.185 --> 00:23:28.493
Yes, but not for a very long time.

00:23:32.196 --> 00:23:33.446
And Mom?

00:23:34.978 --> 00:23:36.771
She didn't go on a trip?

00:23:39.138 --> 00:23:40.971
Is she dead too?

00:23:44.015 --> 00:23:45.029
Yes.

00:23:45.742 --> 00:23:47.209
She's dead too.

00:23:48.706 --> 00:23:50.298
But that was a long time ago.

00:24:50.187 --> 00:24:51.311
Klara!

00:25:03.588 --> 00:25:05.056
Martin, you coming?

00:28:42.870 --> 00:28:43.970
Karli?

00:29:21.253 --> 00:29:22.559
You can come in.

00:29:23.002 --> 00:29:24.194
What is it?

00:29:24.562 --> 00:29:26.202
- What do you think?
- I don't know.

00:29:26.386 --> 00:29:27.682
It's a boy.

00:29:29.096 --> 00:29:31.590
What? Don't you want a brother?

00:29:32.741 --> 00:29:34.777
Lucky your father didn't hear you.

00:29:41.358 --> 00:29:42.555
I'm sorry.

00:29:43.516 --> 00:29:46.021
They knew it was dangerous for her.

00:29:46.175 --> 00:29:47.540
What do you want?

00:29:47.953 --> 00:29:49.422
You want to sue the Baron?

00:29:50.525 --> 00:29:52.279
Or murder the steward?

00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:54.760
Go cut off his head
with your scythe!

00:29:55.743 --> 00:29:58.117
Won't bring your mother
back to life.

00:30:05.225 --> 00:30:06.890
Father, you loved our mother.

00:30:06.962 --> 00:30:08.466
Shut up!

00:30:11.280 --> 00:30:13.568
<i>After those two days in July,</i>

00:30:13.771 --> 00:30:16.982
<i>life in the village
got back to normal.</i>

00:30:17.533 --> 00:30:21.284
<i>The daily harvesting chores
exhausted everyone.</i>

00:30:21.846 --> 00:30:25.564
<i>Most of the kids pitched in
to help their parents.</i>

00:30:26.372 --> 00:30:29.737
<i>I took up the steward's offer</i>

00:30:30.282 --> 00:30:33.752
<i>to be his secretary
during the harvesting,</i>

00:30:34.115 --> 00:30:37.094
<i>as I hoped it would enable me</i>

00:30:37.258 --> 00:30:39.506
<i>to see the young girl again.</i>

00:30:39.707 --> 00:30:43.712
<i>I couldn't get her out of my mind
after our meeting.</i>

00:30:44.563 --> 00:30:48.148
<i>But she rarely came out
of the manor house.</i>

00:30:50.078 --> 00:30:53.427
<i>The doctor was still
in the hospital.</i>

00:30:54.104 --> 00:30:55.868
<i>Anna and Rudolf, his two children,</i>

00:30:56.140 --> 00:30:59.390
<i>were cared for meanwhile
by the midwife.</i>

00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.241
<i>After the farmer's wife's funeral,</i>

00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:04.655
<i>that the whole village attended,</i>

00:31:05.075 --> 00:31:08.023
<i>both accidents were forgotten.</i>

00:31:08.579 --> 00:31:10.696
<i>Until the end of the summer</i>

00:31:10.890 --> 00:31:14.351
<i>when the harvest feast
reunited the whole village,</i>

00:31:14.730 --> 00:31:16.543
<i>first in a joyful mood,</i>

00:31:17.107 --> 00:31:19.952
<i>then in horror and perplexity.</i>

00:31:28.081 --> 00:31:29.735
My thanks to all of you.

00:31:30.228 --> 00:31:31.427
You have worked well.

00:31:32.194 --> 00:31:35.040
The heavens were kind
and the barns are full.

00:31:35.762 --> 00:31:37.432
So the beer can flow,

00:31:37.803 --> 00:31:39.568
and you won't starve today!

00:31:39.932 --> 00:31:42.183
Long live the Baron!

00:31:42.442 --> 00:31:43.542
Long may he live!

00:31:50.005 --> 00:31:51.505
Most honorable Baron

00:31:52.445 --> 00:31:53.604
and Baroness,

00:31:54.345 --> 00:31:55.403
dear merrymakers...

00:31:56.754 --> 00:31:58.891
Let us hear on this festive occasion

00:31:59.534 --> 00:32:02.804
Psalm 145, Verse 15:

00:32:03.867 --> 00:32:06.367
"The eyes of all wait upon thee, Lord;

00:32:06.923 --> 00:32:10.572
"and thou givest them their meat
in due season...."

00:32:11.525 --> 00:32:13.117
In the name of the Father,

00:32:13.807 --> 00:32:14.965
the Son,

00:32:15.784 --> 00:32:17.558
and the Holy Ghost.

00:32:18.036 --> 00:32:19.048
Amen.

00:32:21.401 --> 00:32:23.337
Now enjoy your meal.

00:32:23.737 --> 00:32:26.768
Eat and drink to your fill!
You earned it!

00:33:15.337 --> 00:33:18.176
You promised us
a chorale by your pupils.

00:33:18.592 --> 00:33:20.596
Ask the pastor, Baroness.

00:33:20.897 --> 00:33:24.444
We're still practicing
for the confirmation feast.

00:33:24.868 --> 00:33:27.322
That's in spring!
Now it's the fall.

00:33:27.681 --> 00:33:31.770
Our little singers aren't all
very musical. Sorry!

00:33:43.784 --> 00:33:45.664
Well, you two "mothers"?

00:33:46.937 --> 00:33:49.448
Not taking part in the festivities?

00:33:50.112 --> 00:33:51.956
It's so nice here in the shade.

00:33:52.800 --> 00:33:55.116
Our son seems to be enjoying that!

00:33:55.216 --> 00:33:56.216
Yes.

00:33:57.108 --> 00:33:58.429
I can imagine.

00:33:59.051 --> 00:34:00.751
Who wouldn't like it.

00:34:01.077 --> 00:34:02.314
Georg!

00:34:04.585 --> 00:34:05.771
What about yout?

00:34:06.413 --> 00:34:09.639
Aren't you bored
caring for other's children,

00:34:10.193 --> 00:34:12.476
with all the young lads over there?

00:34:13.412 --> 00:34:16.678
No, sir.
I like being with the children.

00:34:20.084 --> 00:34:21.921
How old are you anyway?

00:34:22.228 --> 00:34:23.382
17, sir.

00:34:23.536 --> 00:34:24.537
17!

00:34:26.265 --> 00:34:29.014
Wouldn't you rather hold a suitor

00:34:29.236 --> 00:34:31.190
than the Baroness's kids?

00:34:31.560 --> 00:34:34.506
- Leave her alone, George!
- What did I do?

00:34:36.072 --> 00:34:38.849
Won't you get us
something to eat, Emma?

00:34:39.579 --> 00:34:42.766
If you'll mind
the children a moment, I'll go.

00:35:21.642 --> 00:35:24.476
He was drunk,
but they couldn't stop him.

00:35:41.466 --> 00:35:43.030
Leave Frieda alone!

00:35:47.473 --> 00:35:48.607
Shove it!

00:35:51.026 --> 00:35:53.477
...I'm the rooster on the tower...

00:35:53.583 --> 00:35:56.236
Someone cut off
the Baron's cabbages.

00:35:56.581 --> 00:35:57.646
What?

00:35:57.857 --> 00:36:00.187
Someone cut off
the Baron's cabbages!

00:36:07.950 --> 00:36:10.434
- I never learned.
- Neither did I .

00:36:10.541 --> 00:36:12.432
You have to count out loud.

00:36:13.663 --> 00:36:15.175
One, two, three.

00:36:24.465 --> 00:36:26.974
Your pupils will laugh
when they see us dancing, sir!

00:36:27.083 --> 00:36:29.079
They'd better not!

00:36:29.411 --> 00:36:32.123
And stop being so formal with me.
Am I so old?

00:36:36.262 --> 00:36:38.221
It's coming along!

00:36:38.573 --> 00:36:39.613
Well...

00:36:40.380 --> 00:36:42.080
Don't look at your feet.

00:36:52.866 --> 00:36:54.915
Quite a job, huh?

00:36:57.490 --> 00:36:58.931
It's disgusting!

00:36:59.202 --> 00:37:02.947
It was an old custom:
"Harvest's done, pay everyone,

00:37:03.449 --> 00:37:06.860
"If we don't get our due,
your cabbage'll be sliced for you."

00:37:07.274 --> 00:37:09.826
Well, they sure slurped down enough!

00:37:47.961 --> 00:37:49.058
Come in.

00:37:56.947 --> 00:37:58.206
What do you want?

00:37:59.867 --> 00:38:01.444
A favor, Father.

00:38:03.323 --> 00:38:04.442
Yes?

00:38:14.356 --> 00:38:15.358
Yes?

00:38:16.228 --> 00:38:19.775
I found it.
It's wounded.

00:38:20.240 --> 00:38:21.396
And?

00:38:21.684 --> 00:38:23.517
May I keep it?

00:38:27.302 --> 00:38:29.002
How will you go about that?

00:38:29.704 --> 00:38:31.488
We'll heal it.

00:38:34.586 --> 00:38:36.461
And when it's healed?

00:38:38.167 --> 00:38:41.194
Won't you be attached to it then?

00:38:42.930 --> 00:38:44.414
Will you let it fly away?

00:38:47.167 --> 00:38:49.394
Piepsi still lives in a cage.

00:38:50.011 --> 00:38:53.248
Yes, but it grew up in captivity.

00:38:53.810 --> 00:38:55.439
This one is used to freedom.

00:38:56.001 --> 00:38:58.657
Will you set it free,
once it's healed?

00:39:02.210 --> 00:39:03.742
Have you asked Mother?

00:39:03.910 --> 00:39:04.972
Yes.

00:39:05.596 --> 00:39:06.876
What did she say?

00:39:07.276 --> 00:39:09.799
That it was for you to decide,
Father.

00:39:10.879 --> 00:39:12.043
Really?

00:39:12.577 --> 00:39:13.944
That's what she said.

00:39:15.976 --> 00:39:18.174
You'll really take care of it?

00:39:18.271 --> 00:39:19.928
Yes.

00:39:21.986 --> 00:39:24.703
You realize that's
a heavy responsibility?

00:39:26.780 --> 00:39:29.127
You'll be its father and mother.

00:39:34.504 --> 00:39:38.322
We'll have to find a cage
for your patient.

00:39:38.848 --> 00:39:41.245
Did you do it, or didn't you?

00:39:42.492 --> 00:39:44.710
- Seems somebody saw you.
- So what?

00:39:45.746 --> 00:39:48.122
They're lucky
they still have their heads!

00:39:48.628 --> 00:39:51.511
I have to tell you, Father:
I'm proud of it!

00:39:53.016 --> 00:39:54.314
Sit down!

00:40:01.287 --> 00:40:02.844
What did you intend to do?

00:40:05.518 --> 00:40:06.673
Tell me.

00:40:08.410 --> 00:40:09.721
Come on. Tell me.

00:40:12.390 --> 00:40:14.034
You know why, Father.

00:40:14.218 --> 00:40:15.660
Because of your mother?

00:40:16.514 --> 00:40:19.078
You think they caused her death?

00:40:20.065 --> 00:40:21.215
You think that?

00:40:21.472 --> 00:40:24.969
That I'm not man enough
to settle it?

00:40:40.219 --> 00:40:44.707
Know what your act
may do for us all?

00:40:45.367 --> 00:40:46.889
If Frieda loses her job,

00:40:47.357 --> 00:40:49.598
which keeps us alive
for a whole year?

00:40:50.018 --> 00:40:52.426
If we can't work here
in the summer?

00:40:57.375 --> 00:41:00.415
You want to marry
and run the farm in two years?

00:41:01.132 --> 00:41:04.949
You'll feed everyone
without the help of the estate?

00:41:09.291 --> 00:41:11.459
How do you know they're responsible?

00:41:13.081 --> 00:41:14.622
How do you know they're innocent?

00:41:16.686 --> 00:41:18.100
I don't know.

00:41:19.923 --> 00:41:21.827
But I also don't know the opposite!

00:41:22.366 --> 00:41:24.059
What do you mean "not there"?

00:41:24.105 --> 00:41:26.455
He's disappeared.
I looked all over.

00:41:26.884 --> 00:41:30.410
He hasn't disappeared.
When did you last see him?

00:41:30.613 --> 00:41:32.013
Around 2 o'clock.

00:41:32.074 --> 00:41:33.263
Around 2?

00:41:34.503 --> 00:41:37.103
- You know what time it is?
- I know, Baron.

00:41:40.398 --> 00:41:41.559
What does my wife say?

00:41:41.832 --> 00:41:44.232
She sent me to you. She's terrified.

00:41:44.594 --> 00:41:47.325
I can imagine.
You're an idiot, Huber.

00:41:48.087 --> 00:41:50.011
Why do you think you're here?

00:41:50.672 --> 00:41:54.051
To take care of one child!
Is that so hard?

00:41:54.490 --> 00:41:56.152
I'm so sorry, Baron.

00:41:56.476 --> 00:41:57.933
You can shove your excuses!

00:42:01.754 --> 00:42:03.342
Where did you last see my son?

00:42:04.264 --> 00:42:06.602
Here. He left to play
with the other kids.

00:42:07.046 --> 00:42:08.527
- Where?
- He didn't say.

00:42:08.862 --> 00:42:11.053
My wife noticed nothing either?

00:42:11.403 --> 00:42:13.342
The cabbage heads affair upset her.

00:42:13.425 --> 00:42:15.363
She retired, indisposed.

00:42:15.785 --> 00:42:17.285
Indisposed?

00:42:17.530 --> 00:42:19.797
Yes, a terrible migraine attack.

00:42:21.610 --> 00:42:23.173
This is a madhouse!

00:42:24.122 --> 00:42:25.415
Have you seen my son?

00:42:25.574 --> 00:42:26.636
No.

00:42:27.139 --> 00:42:30.438
Ask your sons. Sigi has disappeared
with some other kids.

00:42:30.839 --> 00:42:33.735
- What does it mean?
- That he's disappeared, dammit!

00:42:34.203 --> 00:42:36.786
<i>The steward's kids said
they'd only seen Sigi</i>

00:42:37.193 --> 00:42:38.293
<i>very briefly,</i>

00:42:38.773 --> 00:42:40.541
<i>that he'd gone off with other kids.</i>

00:42:40.810 --> 00:42:42.866
<i>They didn't pay
much attention to it.</i>

00:42:44.250 --> 00:42:46.793
<i>The search began
shortly after midnight.</i>

00:42:47.165 --> 00:42:50.984
<i>The searchers, tired,
some still drunk,</i>

00:42:51.149 --> 00:42:52.926
<i>were divided into two groups:</i>

00:42:53.825 --> 00:42:57.712
<i>one searched
all the estate's buildings,</i>

00:42:58.794 --> 00:43:01.402
<i>the other combed the countryside.</i>

00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:05.431
<i>Around 2.30 AM,
the siren sounded again</i>

00:43:05.568 --> 00:43:08.253
<i>calling the men back to the estate.</i>

00:43:09.003 --> 00:43:10.925
<i>Sigi had been found.</i>

00:43:11.933 --> 00:43:16.779
<i>He was in the sawmill,
tied upside down.</i>

00:43:17.672 --> 00:43:19.547
<i>His trousers were pulled down,</i>

00:43:19.628 --> 00:43:22.604
<i>his buttocks
bleeding from cane strokes.</i>

00:43:23.848 --> 00:43:27.070
<i>He was in a state of shock,
unable to walk.</i>

00:43:27.209 --> 00:43:29.002
<i>Lying on his belly,</i>

00:43:29.079 --> 00:43:32.972
<i>he was carried home
on a makeshift stretcher.</i>

00:43:34.323 --> 00:43:38.534
<i>Next Sunday, after the service,
the Baron asked the pastor</i>

00:43:38.714 --> 00:43:40.752
<i>to let him speak.</i>

00:43:41.177 --> 00:43:45.430
City policemen questioned
many of you this week.

00:43:46.201 --> 00:43:47.601
To no avail.

00:43:49.341 --> 00:43:52.342
First I thought
my child was tortured

00:43:52.472 --> 00:43:57.725
by those who cut off my cabbages.

00:43:57.950 --> 00:44:00.071
To get even!

00:44:00.868 --> 00:44:02.037
For what?

00:44:03.613 --> 00:44:06.983
Supposedly it was my fault
their mother died in the sawmill,

00:44:07.128 --> 00:44:10.690
which is absurd.

00:44:12.289 --> 00:44:13.478
At least, young Felder

00:44:13.530 --> 00:44:18.152
told the police that was his motive
for his "mowing prowess".

00:44:20.139 --> 00:44:22.700
I've always helped
the Felder family.

00:44:23.846 --> 00:44:25.917
But people aren't always grateful.

00:44:26.509 --> 00:44:28.309
It takes character.

00:44:29.523 --> 00:44:31.885
Don't run away, Felder!

00:44:32.210 --> 00:44:34.274
It's your honor I want to salvage!

00:44:36.148 --> 00:44:40.095
It turns out
the "valiant" Max Felder

00:44:40.934 --> 00:44:45.452
boasted of his feat to his fiancée.
Then the coward

00:44:45.647 --> 00:44:47.584
hid among his family,

00:44:49.099 --> 00:44:52.208
so he didn't have time
to torture my son.

00:44:52.550 --> 00:44:55.869
As to his father,
he'd bite off his tongue

00:44:56.012 --> 00:44:59.160
rather than cover
for his wayward son.

00:45:03.960 --> 00:45:08.337
I'll remind you of a fact
that most of you may have forgotten.

00:45:09.859 --> 00:45:13.465
Two months ago, our doctor
had a riding accident,

00:45:13.619 --> 00:45:16.948
and is still not back from the hospital.

00:45:17.814 --> 00:45:19.458
This accident was caused

00:45:19.529 --> 00:45:22.122
by a wire strung in his garden,

00:45:22.234 --> 00:45:25.697
with the explicit intent
of bringing him down.

00:45:28.103 --> 00:45:30.694
There, too, nobody knows,

00:45:30.805 --> 00:45:32.901
saw or heard anything.

00:45:36.038 --> 00:45:39.484
We all know it:
those who injured my son,

00:45:39.633 --> 00:45:42.021
and the doctor,

00:45:42.124 --> 00:45:43.207
are here

00:45:43.254 --> 00:45:45.076
among us,

00:45:45.155 --> 00:45:46.839
in this room.

00:45:48.021 --> 00:45:51.221
I won't let such crimes
go unpunished,

00:45:52.237 --> 00:45:53.611
and hope nothing like that

00:45:53.671 --> 00:45:56.129
happens to any of your children.

00:45:57.750 --> 00:46:00.367
That's why I call upon you all:

00:46:01.339 --> 00:46:04.560
help me find the culprit
or the culprits!

00:46:06.272 --> 00:46:08.365
If we fail to find out the truth,

00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:11.370
the peace of our community
will be gone.

00:46:12.542 --> 00:46:15.794
<i>The landowner's speech
frightened the locals.</i>

00:46:16.606 --> 00:46:18.236
<i>The Baron wasn't popular,</i>

00:46:18.306 --> 00:46:23.377
<i>but as a powerful figure
and employer of half the village,</i>

00:46:23.595 --> 00:46:25.233
<i>he was respected.</i>

00:46:25.823 --> 00:46:28.282
<i>His statement
on the community's peace</i>

00:46:28.388 --> 00:46:30.889
<i>was ominous.</i>

00:46:30.996 --> 00:46:35.714
<i>And the mysterious character
of these criminal deeds</i>

00:46:36.181 --> 00:46:39.573
<i>awakened the old mistrust
of the farmers.</i>

00:46:55.541 --> 00:46:56.541
Come in!

00:47:03.805 --> 00:47:04.835
Eva!

00:47:06.918 --> 00:47:08.068
May I come in?

00:47:09.161 --> 00:47:11.586
What a question!
Of course, come in.

00:47:13.477 --> 00:47:14.571
What's it about?

00:47:17.310 --> 00:47:18.412
What's wrong?

00:47:21.712 --> 00:47:23.474
They fired me.

00:47:25.003 --> 00:47:26.005
What do you mean?

00:47:27.006 --> 00:47:29.675
Nothing. They just fired me.

00:47:30.854 --> 00:47:33.466
The tutor was also fired.

00:47:49.106 --> 00:47:51.444
I don't know where to go.

00:47:53.029 --> 00:47:54.834
I'm afraid on the road alone.

00:47:54.912 --> 00:47:57.096
Don't worry. Calm down.

00:47:57.191 --> 00:47:59.588
Come, sit here.

00:48:00.896 --> 00:48:03.178
Calm down, tell me what happened.

00:48:07.820 --> 00:48:08.866
Well?

00:48:10.685 --> 00:48:11.879
What happened?

00:48:15.958 --> 00:48:18.738
The Baron's son isn't at all well.

00:48:20.136 --> 00:48:23.137
His parents are desperate and angry.

00:48:23.266 --> 00:48:27.145
Now they say
the tutor and I are to blame,

00:48:27.568 --> 00:48:29.993
because we didn't pay
enough attention to him.

00:48:31.245 --> 00:48:33.531
But I'm only there for the twins.

00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:39.199
I've always taken care of them
very well.

00:48:40.313 --> 00:48:41.772
When you and I were dancing,

00:48:42.677 --> 00:48:45.173
the Baroness
had given me permission.

00:48:46.520 --> 00:48:48.172
I haven't done anything wrong.

00:48:48.527 --> 00:48:50.836
I know, come on. Stop crying!

00:48:55.427 --> 00:48:57.043
Where can I go now?

00:48:58.035 --> 00:49:00.171
My family needs my earnings.

00:49:00.815 --> 00:49:02.451
You'll find something else.

00:49:02.522 --> 00:49:05.156
You know,
the Baron is quick-tempered.

00:49:05.496 --> 00:49:07.766
But his bark is worse than his bite.

00:49:07.899 --> 00:49:10.985
No, it's all over now, I know it.

00:49:12.438 --> 00:49:14.508
The Baroness doesn't want
to see anyone.

00:49:15.627 --> 00:49:18.307
She wants to take the kids
with her, to town,

00:49:19.120 --> 00:49:21.233
or to her parents' estate.

00:49:23.177 --> 00:49:24.664
I'll try to talk to her.

00:49:25.941 --> 00:49:29.119
We used to play piano together,
four-handed.

00:49:29.801 --> 00:49:31.501
But I wasn't very good.

00:49:32.038 --> 00:49:35.656
Now she's the tutor,
who studied the flute in town.

00:49:38.570 --> 00:49:40.600
He doesn't play that well.

00:49:41.018 --> 00:49:42.175
That's true.

00:49:52.311 --> 00:49:53.929
Who does things like that?

00:49:54.939 --> 00:49:56.126
What?

00:49:56.988 --> 00:49:58.519
Beating a child like that.

00:49:59.831 --> 00:50:00.959
I don't know.

00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:10.485
Can I stay here tonight?

00:50:12.015 --> 00:50:14.560
Don't send me away, sir, please.

00:50:15.150 --> 00:50:16.589
How could you think that?

00:50:17.938 --> 00:50:21.547
I'll just wait for daybreak,
here in the classroom.

00:50:22.036 --> 00:50:23.735
Then I'll leave.

00:50:27.673 --> 00:50:30.278
At home, they won't understand this.

00:50:32.734 --> 00:50:34.942
They'll think I did something wrong.

00:50:37.177 --> 00:50:38.720
Want me to come with you?

00:50:39.096 --> 00:50:40.121
What?

00:50:40.337 --> 00:50:41.937
Tomorrow, after school?

00:50:42.274 --> 00:50:44.937
I'll find a carriage,
I'll be back by evening.

00:50:47.111 --> 00:50:48.865
Why would you do that, sir?

00:50:49.669 --> 00:50:51.927
Stop being so formal.

00:50:55.342 --> 00:50:57.523
Why would you do that?

00:50:59.403 --> 00:51:01.484
Come here,
I'll play something for you.

00:51:02.665 --> 00:51:03.829
If you want.

00:52:14.933 --> 00:52:16.254
Good morning, Father.

00:52:29.857 --> 00:52:30.878
I'm back again.

00:52:31.549 --> 00:52:32.587
They set me free.

00:52:32.896 --> 00:52:34.521
I can see that. So what?

00:52:54.134 --> 00:52:55.927
Can you forgive me, Father?

00:52:59.374 --> 00:53:00.952
Forgive you for what?

00:53:02.046 --> 00:53:04.040
That the estate
won't give me any work?

00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:07.629
That Frieda was fired in disgrace?

00:53:08.070 --> 00:53:10.568
That your brothers and sisters
have nothing to eat?

00:53:10.938 --> 00:53:12.110
Or what?

00:53:13.770 --> 00:53:17.166
<i>The next day, after school,
I went to the estate</i>

00:53:17.605 --> 00:53:20.236
<i>to inquire about Sigi's health</i>

00:53:20.677 --> 00:53:24.037
<i>and to intercede
for Eva's reinstatement.</i>

00:53:24.435 --> 00:53:25.509
<i>I was told</i>

00:53:25.793 --> 00:53:29.055
<i>the Baroness had left that morning
with her children.</i>

00:53:30.910 --> 00:53:35.396
<i>Reluctantly, the steward
lent me a carriage to take Eva home.</i>

00:53:36.203 --> 00:53:39.849
<i>As we left the village,
we crossed the doctor.</i>

00:53:40.546 --> 00:53:42.675
<i>A few days
after the Thanksgiving feast,</i>

00:53:42.827 --> 00:53:46.860
<i>Rudolf, his four-year-old son,
had suddenly disappeared.</i>

00:53:47.726 --> 00:53:51.612
<i>This upset everyone
in view of the previous events.</i>

00:53:52.391 --> 00:53:55.158
<i>The boy was finally found
on the main road,</i>

00:53:55.486 --> 00:53:57.661
<i>scantily dressed for a trip,</i>

00:53:57.976 --> 00:54:00.922
<i>walking eagerly toward the town.</i>

00:54:01.048 --> 00:54:03.379
<i>When asked where he was going,</i>

00:54:03.480 --> 00:54:06.249
<i>he said he wanted
to visit his father.</i>

00:54:07.036 --> 00:54:11.226
<i>He fought tooth and nail
against being taken home.</i>

00:54:12.546 --> 00:54:15.007
<i>The doctor was told about this</i>

00:54:15.582 --> 00:54:19.015
<i>and, due to be released soon anyway,</i>

00:54:20.471 --> 00:54:23.735
<i>he decided to cut short his stay
at the hospital.</i>

00:54:27.107 --> 00:54:28.157
Rudi?

00:54:28.269 --> 00:54:30.206
He was in the living room.

00:54:36.478 --> 00:54:37.581
What do I owe?

00:54:37.634 --> 00:54:39.177
3.50 marks.

00:54:43.187 --> 00:54:44.269
Thanks.

00:54:44.316 --> 00:54:45.500
Have a nice day.

00:54:50.982 --> 00:54:52.611
Rudi, where are you?

00:55:30.991 --> 00:55:32.182
Hello, Rudi.

00:55:37.130 --> 00:55:39.416
Won't you say hello to your father?

00:55:41.765 --> 00:55:42.790
No?

00:55:45.215 --> 00:55:46.453
I heard

00:55:46.924 --> 00:55:49.666
you wanted to visit me
at the hospital.

00:55:51.600 --> 00:55:53.426
And now you lock yourself in?

00:55:59.043 --> 00:56:00.158
All right.

00:56:01.995 --> 00:56:04.056
Then I don't want to see you.

00:56:05.215 --> 00:56:06.819
I'm going away now.

00:56:08.138 --> 00:56:10.343
Stay in the toilet, if you want.

00:56:21.545 --> 00:56:22.772
Keep well, Rudi.

00:57:39.490 --> 00:57:43.370
Your office is ready.
Mrs Wagner did it all.

00:57:45.556 --> 00:57:47.498
- Why do you tell me that?
- I don't know.

00:57:48.717 --> 00:57:50.684
I thought you'd like to know.

00:57:51.862 --> 00:57:53.804
- She took good care of you?
- Yes.

00:58:02.724 --> 00:58:04.095
How old are you now?

00:58:05.128 --> 00:58:06.165
14.

00:58:11.723 --> 00:58:12.891
It's amazing,

00:58:14.059 --> 00:58:15.473
you look so like your mother.

00:58:33.329 --> 00:58:36.175
... your mother and I
are very worried about you.

00:58:37.524 --> 00:58:40.301
Think carefully. Do you sleep badly?

00:58:40.665 --> 00:58:42.155
Are you overtired?

00:58:42.219 --> 00:58:43.439
No.

00:58:44.967 --> 00:58:48.429
Do you have problems at school
I don't know?

00:58:49.636 --> 00:58:50.772
No, Father.

00:58:55.299 --> 00:58:57.525
You don't understand why we worry.

00:58:58.138 --> 00:59:00.240
I'll explain it to you.

00:59:01.629 --> 00:59:05.164
As you know,
I'm also the pastor for Birkenbrunn.

00:59:07.097 --> 00:59:09.350
One day, a mother came to see me,

00:59:09.750 --> 00:59:12.625
as her son,
about the same age as you,

00:59:13.376 --> 00:59:14.945
had the same symptoms

00:59:16.908 --> 00:59:19.360
you've shown for some time.

00:59:19.754 --> 00:59:23.976
The boy suddenly seemed
extremely weary.

00:59:25.156 --> 00:59:28.792
His eyes were ringed,
he was depressed and joyless.

00:59:32.232 --> 00:59:35.227
He avoided looking his parents
in the eye,

00:59:36.641 --> 00:59:41.426
and soon was also caught lying.

00:59:52.643 --> 00:59:54.572
This lasted about half a year.

00:59:55.719 --> 00:59:57.661
Then everything went very fast.

00:59:59.147 --> 01:00:00.913
He lost his appetite,

01:00:02.555 --> 01:00:05.970
couldn't sleep any more,
his hands began to shake,

01:00:07.834 --> 01:00:09.474
his memory started to fail,

01:00:10.764 --> 01:00:13.018
his face became
covered with pustules,

01:00:13.580 --> 01:00:15.057
then his whole body.

01:00:16.874 --> 01:00:18.243
Finally, he died.

01:00:20.955 --> 01:00:24.872
The body, that I had to bless,
looked like an old man's body.

01:00:27.765 --> 01:00:30.155
Do you understand now
why I'm worried?

01:00:32.929 --> 01:00:35.530
What do you think
caused these changes

01:00:35.955 --> 01:00:39.569
that led
to that boy's miserable end?

01:00:40.320 --> 01:00:41.708
I don't know.

01:00:44.275 --> 01:00:46.494
I think you know very well.

01:01:04.615 --> 01:01:06.361
Won't you tell me?

01:01:08.766 --> 01:01:09.777
No?

01:01:13.055 --> 01:01:15.670
Then I'll give you the answer.

01:01:17.684 --> 01:01:20.055
The boy had seen someone,

01:01:20.435 --> 01:01:23.264
who was harming
the finest nerves of his body,

01:01:23.737 --> 01:01:27.019
in the area where God
has erected sacred barriers.

01:01:28.049 --> 01:01:30.563
The boy imitated this action.

01:01:30.873 --> 01:01:33.327
He couldn't stop doing it.

01:01:36.011 --> 01:01:40.224
In the end he destroyed
all his nerves, and died of it.

01:01:43.947 --> 01:01:45.529
I just want to help you.

01:01:46.959 --> 01:01:48.733
I love you with all my heart.

01:01:50.065 --> 01:01:52.064
Be sincere, Martin.

01:01:52.965 --> 01:01:56.598
Why did you blush listening
to the story of the poor boy?

01:01:57.363 --> 01:01:58.508
Blush?

01:01:58.972 --> 01:02:01.648
I don't know. I felt sorry for him.

01:02:02.881 --> 01:02:04.430
Is that all?

01:02:07.079 --> 01:02:09.729
I think there's another reason.

01:02:10.155 --> 01:02:11.912
It's written on your face.

01:02:13.365 --> 01:02:15.072
Be sincere,

01:02:15.305 --> 01:02:16.476
Martin!

01:02:19.164 --> 01:02:20.777
Why are you crying?

01:02:21.590 --> 01:02:23.896
Shall I spare you that confession?

01:02:26.154 --> 01:02:29.304
Have you been doing
what that wretched boy did?

01:02:30.394 --> 01:02:31.524
Yes.

01:02:47.039 --> 01:02:48.355
My arm!

01:03:20.380 --> 01:03:23.175
Glad that you're back. About time.

01:03:24.369 --> 01:03:26.023
One can say that. Yes.

01:03:33.835 --> 01:03:36.212
It was hard with the children,
without you.

01:03:37.158 --> 01:03:38.368
I know.

01:03:45.237 --> 01:03:46.502
He doesn't like me.

01:03:47.529 --> 01:03:49.259
- Who?
- Rudi.

01:03:51.288 --> 01:03:53.129
He's at a difficult age.

01:03:54.773 --> 01:03:56.337
Actually not.

01:03:58.462 --> 01:04:00.629
They're always at a difficult age.

01:04:03.368 --> 01:04:04.386
Yes.

01:04:08.225 --> 01:04:09.856
You didn't miss me.

01:04:11.625 --> 01:04:12.944
What does that mean?

01:04:14.759 --> 01:04:17.398
Nothing.
I said it because it's true.

01:04:22.227 --> 01:04:25.048
Nothing like
a nice dose of self-hate!

01:04:25.870 --> 01:04:26.870
What?

01:04:27.623 --> 01:04:29.810
Nothing. Forget it.

01:04:57.341 --> 01:04:59.892
<i>Winter came early that year.</i>

01:05:00.001 --> 01:05:03.657
<i>For Reformation Day,
on the first Sunday of November,</i>

01:05:04.108 --> 01:05:06.539
<i>a blanket of snow
covered the village.</i>

01:05:07.573 --> 01:05:12.357
<i>Quite unusually, the Baron,
whose family had not yet come back,</i>

01:05:12.888 --> 01:05:14.407
<i>didn't attend the service.</i>

01:05:16.126 --> 01:05:19.805
<i>The villagers took that
as a sign of his anger.</i>

01:05:20.572 --> 01:05:22.443
<i>Indeed, no leads had been found</i>

01:05:22.525 --> 01:05:24.395
<i>to a possible culprit,</i>

01:05:24.815 --> 01:05:27.009
<i>although the Baron's appeal</i>

01:05:27.103 --> 01:05:29.297
<i>had led to a flood
of mutual suspicions,</i>

01:05:29.588 --> 01:05:33.065
<i>even to some attempts
at denunciation,</i>

01:05:34.508 --> 01:05:38.039
<i>that had all turned out
to be untenable.</i>

01:05:51.992 --> 01:05:53.910
Well, it's not pneumonia.

01:05:54.548 --> 01:05:56.036
But you must be careful.

01:05:56.658 --> 01:05:59.084
If his temperature rises,
call me again.

01:05:59.606 --> 01:06:02.192
Give him these drops
every two hours.

01:06:02.899 --> 01:06:05.034
And hang wet sheets over the oven.

01:06:05.127 --> 01:06:06.862
That helps breathing.

01:06:08.632 --> 01:06:10.494
- Good night to you.
- Good-bye, Doctor.

01:06:16.777 --> 01:06:18.607
How long was the window open?

01:06:19.597 --> 01:06:23.123
Hard to say.
My wife nursed him around 1 AM.

01:06:23.773 --> 01:06:25.460
She came back around 2:30 AM.

01:06:25.533 --> 01:06:27.219
By then the room was icy cold.

01:06:27.556 --> 01:06:29.327
And the baby didn't cry?

01:06:30.346 --> 01:06:32.250
No. The children heard nothing.

01:06:35.965 --> 01:06:38.399
He's doing all right.
We have to wait.

01:06:39.246 --> 01:06:41.410
But it looks fairly good.

01:06:41.971 --> 01:06:43.865
A drink to warm you up?

01:06:45.286 --> 01:06:46.984
Or stay for supper.

01:06:47.243 --> 01:06:50.925
No, thanks. I'm overloaded,
I was away so long.

01:06:57.895 --> 01:06:59.981
How's your arm doing?

01:07:01.536 --> 01:07:02.789
It's all right.

01:07:03.241 --> 01:07:06.272
It'll be fine
in two or three weeks.

01:07:06.666 --> 01:07:07.732
Thank you.

01:07:09.097 --> 01:07:10.816
That must be terrible, I imagine.

01:07:11.137 --> 01:07:14.095
One must be helpless
with only one arm.

01:07:14.488 --> 01:07:16.433
Quod erat demonstrandum.

01:07:19.485 --> 01:07:21.181
Well, good night, children.

01:07:21.517 --> 01:07:22.773
Good night, Doctor.

01:07:23.138 --> 01:07:26.529
If your wife thinks
the baby's fever has risen again,

01:07:26.778 --> 01:07:28.012
let me know.

01:07:38.884 --> 01:07:40.226
Good...

01:07:41.958 --> 01:07:43.300
What do you mean "good"?

01:07:46.910 --> 01:07:48.393
I mean, that's fine.

01:07:56.044 --> 01:07:57.750
When did you go see Father?

01:07:58.588 --> 01:08:00.175
Down in his office.

01:08:03.646 --> 01:08:04.724
Why?

01:08:06.461 --> 01:08:07.543
Just asking.

01:08:09.675 --> 01:08:13.335
<i>In mid-December,
I finally got a letter from Eva.</i>

01:08:14.625 --> 01:08:17.930
<i>Her father
had found her a job in town,</i>

01:08:18.109 --> 01:08:21.341
<i>that she'd start early
in the New Year.</i>

01:08:22.694 --> 01:08:25.977
<i>Since the night she came
to shelter in the school,</i>

01:08:26.154 --> 01:08:28.219
<i>when until dawn,</i>

01:08:28.344 --> 01:08:31.957
<i>we told each other the story
of our short lives,</i>

01:08:32.886 --> 01:08:34.379
<i>her pale face,</i>

01:08:34.480 --> 01:08:38.079
<i>her shy but frank personality,</i>

01:08:38.847 --> 01:08:40.856
<i>were constantly on my mind.</i>

01:08:42.688 --> 01:08:46.256
<i>The school holidays
lasted until January 2nd,</i>

01:08:47.073 --> 01:08:49.727
<i>but already
on the day after Christmas,</i>

01:08:49.877 --> 01:08:52.132
<i>in the cold but sunny weather,</i>

01:08:52.970 --> 01:08:54.688
<i>I headed for Treglitz</i>

01:08:54.798 --> 01:08:57.500
<i>to visit Eva and her parents.</i>

01:08:58.354 --> 01:08:59.492
And Sigi?

01:09:01.433 --> 01:09:04.224
I don't know.
The Baroness isn't back yet.

01:09:08.602 --> 01:09:09.802
And the Baron?

01:09:11.994 --> 01:09:14.963
We hardly see him.
He talks to nobody.

01:09:19.490 --> 01:09:22.555
I don't know.
Some say they went to Italy.

01:09:22.790 --> 01:09:24.017
To Italy?

01:09:36.288 --> 01:09:40.030
The steward says they'll tear down
the sawmill. Because it's...

01:09:42.768 --> 01:09:43.908
Good morning.

01:09:43.993 --> 01:09:45.379
Morning, young man.

01:09:45.709 --> 01:09:48.237
Please be seated.
We're not very formal here.

01:09:48.683 --> 01:09:49.992
Scram!

01:10:05.717 --> 01:10:06.774
Care for a drink?

01:10:06.983 --> 01:10:08.377
No, thanks. Very kind.

01:10:08.688 --> 01:10:10.509
- Really?
- No, thanks a lot.

01:10:15.885 --> 01:10:17.247
So you're a schoolteacher?

01:10:19.115 --> 01:10:21.162
Can you afford to have a wife?

01:10:22.402 --> 01:10:25.406
My father's a tailor at Vasendorf.
I've learned the trade.

01:10:25.571 --> 01:10:27.423
I earn money on the side.

01:10:28.301 --> 01:10:31.903
Taking over his business
would've been smarter.

01:10:39.513 --> 01:10:42.283
And why are you so focused on Eva?

01:10:42.658 --> 01:10:46.212
She's still a child.
You could be her father.

01:10:47.063 --> 01:10:48.181
I'm 31.

01:10:48.573 --> 01:10:50.481
Well, you're not far off.

01:10:50.905 --> 01:10:51.955
Father!

01:10:58.704 --> 01:11:01.318
Have you asked her
if she's interested?

01:11:01.677 --> 01:11:05.019
She's a child,
knows nothing about life.

01:11:06.518 --> 01:11:08.863
Speak up. Do you want him?

01:11:10.957 --> 01:11:12.879
Come on. Say something.

01:11:15.100 --> 01:11:16.864
He came all this way in the cold.

01:11:17.227 --> 01:11:20.980
Leave her alone. Of course,
she wants him. Can't you tell?

01:11:21.404 --> 01:11:23.502
How can I, if she clams up!

01:11:33.065 --> 01:11:34.742
Sit down again.

01:11:37.496 --> 01:11:38.550
Women!

01:11:40.417 --> 01:11:42.287
Don't take them too seriously.

01:11:45.076 --> 01:11:47.891
Listen, I'm not a big talker.

01:11:49.370 --> 01:11:52.002
On one hand, it suits mea
if she leaves the house.

01:11:52.377 --> 01:11:54.847
Lots of mouths to feed,
as you can see.

01:11:56.859 --> 01:11:58.250
On the other hand,

01:11:59.311 --> 01:12:01.836
it's moving too fast for me.

01:12:02.561 --> 01:12:04.023
I don't know you.

01:12:04.712 --> 01:12:07.953
I don't dislike you,
but I need to know more about you.

01:12:10.827 --> 01:12:15.324
The town hairdresser has agreed
to take her on as an apprentice.

01:12:16.531 --> 01:12:18.330
She'll get to meet people,

01:12:19.788 --> 01:12:21.861
she can decide
if she really wants this.

01:12:23.513 --> 01:12:25.959
If in a year
she's still in favor of it,

01:12:26.099 --> 01:12:27.760
we'll talk about it again.

01:12:29.873 --> 01:12:31.869
You can make up your mind too.

01:12:33.584 --> 01:12:34.696
All right?

01:12:35.101 --> 01:12:37.351
- I actually thought I...
- Yes, I know.

01:12:38.430 --> 01:12:41.907
But it's either that or nothing.

01:12:46.192 --> 01:12:47.431
If you insist...

01:12:47.519 --> 01:12:49.058
Yes, I do.

01:12:55.371 --> 01:12:56.466
Delighted.

01:13:00.249 --> 01:13:03.153
So, my work's waiting.

01:13:04.097 --> 01:13:06.330
Even on holidays.

01:13:07.131 --> 01:13:08.419
Don't get up.

01:13:09.822 --> 01:13:11.110
I'll send the kid back in.

01:13:15.589 --> 01:13:17.360
So you can say good bye.

01:13:17.755 --> 01:13:20.290
A year goes by fast.
The world won't collapse.

01:13:22.983 --> 01:13:24.476
You can come and visit her.

01:14:06.218 --> 01:14:07.755
Did your father tell you...?

01:14:19.012 --> 01:14:20.274
Is that all right with you?

01:14:23.621 --> 01:14:25.056
And is it with you, sir?

01:14:27.163 --> 01:14:28.873
Don't call me "sir".

01:14:54.637 --> 01:14:56.038
Adi! Are you awake?

01:14:57.587 --> 01:14:58.763
Adi!

01:15:00.188 --> 01:15:01.413
What is it?

01:15:01.529 --> 01:15:02.530
Look!

01:15:03.536 --> 01:15:04.890
What's happening?

01:15:05.036 --> 01:15:07.450
Look! Go see what's happening!

01:15:08.932 --> 01:15:10.753
My God, what do you want?

01:15:11.144 --> 01:15:13.110
Over there! Look out the window!

01:15:24.651 --> 01:15:26.819
Something's burning! On the estate!

01:15:27.222 --> 01:15:28.474
Untie me!

01:15:29.012 --> 01:15:30.285
Come on, untie me!

01:15:31.159 --> 01:15:32.394
I don't know if...

01:15:32.577 --> 01:15:33.712
Untie me, I said!

01:15:34.035 --> 01:15:35.559
What is it?

01:15:35.972 --> 01:15:37.085
Be quiet!

01:15:37.479 --> 01:15:39.150
Gustl, come and untie me!

01:15:40.357 --> 01:15:41.794
What's going on?

01:15:42.779 --> 01:15:45.276
Untie me, dammit!
There's a fire!

01:15:46.207 --> 01:15:48.052
What fire?

01:15:54.646 --> 01:15:55.932
A fire!

01:15:56.048 --> 01:15:58.552
Yes, a fire! Now untie me, dammit!

01:16:01.032 --> 01:16:02.471
Father won't allow it.

01:16:02.854 --> 01:16:05.541
It's an emergency!
Somebody must warn them!

01:16:05.955 --> 01:16:06.955
Father!

01:16:07.151 --> 01:16:09.886
Stop shouting! I'll do it!

01:16:14.325 --> 01:16:16.052
Shall I call Mom?

01:16:21.161 --> 01:16:22.935
- What is it?
- A fire!

01:16:23.284 --> 01:16:25.349
I know. Your father already went.

01:16:27.692 --> 01:16:29.250
What are you doing here?

01:16:29.734 --> 01:16:32.337
Go to bed now! It's nothing.

01:16:33.209 --> 01:16:36.127
There's a fire on the estate.
Don't be afraid.

01:16:36.674 --> 01:16:38.767
Go to bed and sleep.

01:16:40.996 --> 01:16:43.244
Go on! You'll catch a cold.

01:16:47.984 --> 01:16:50.354
Why all the noise?
You woke them all up!

01:16:50.750 --> 01:16:52.866
I thought it was dangerous.

01:16:53.275 --> 01:16:55.161
I had to untie him.

01:16:55.523 --> 01:16:57.244
Now everything's fine again.

01:16:57.662 --> 01:17:00.344
Tomorrow,
Father will tell you about the fire.

01:17:00.895 --> 01:17:02.214
You all go back to bed.

01:17:03.200 --> 01:17:04.813
I'll wait till you're in bed.

01:17:06.116 --> 01:17:07.326
It's cold here.

01:17:20.002 --> 01:17:21.202
Good night, then.

01:17:22.803 --> 01:17:24.016
Sleep tight.

01:17:24.361 --> 01:17:25.772
Night, Mom!

01:19:29.388 --> 01:19:30.956
Why don't you stop doing that?

01:19:35.866 --> 01:19:36.944
Why all the effort?

01:19:37.812 --> 01:19:40.097
Don't look so dumbfounded.

01:19:40.231 --> 01:19:42.279
You don't lack talent.

01:19:42.655 --> 01:19:44.912
I just can't do it
with you any more.

01:19:46.756 --> 01:19:49.046
To be truthful: you disgust me.

01:19:50.560 --> 01:19:51.963
Can't you finish your work?

01:19:52.288 --> 01:19:54.296
I don't want
to spend the night here.

01:19:59.844 --> 01:20:00.979
What did I do to you?

01:20:01.263 --> 01:20:03.730
My God, you've done nothing to me!

01:20:05.717 --> 01:20:07.708
You're ugly, messy,

01:20:08.069 --> 01:20:11.080
flabby and have bad breath.
Will that do?

01:20:11.246 --> 01:20:16.660
The cover has to be sterilized.

01:20:16.928 --> 01:20:21.852
Don't sit there
looking like death warmed over.

01:20:22.492 --> 01:20:24.786
The world won't collapse.
Not on you,

01:20:24.920 --> 01:20:26.970
or on me.

01:20:31.129 --> 01:20:33.429
I can't go on with this, that's all.

01:20:36.621 --> 01:20:38.379
I've really tried...

01:20:40.142 --> 01:20:43.587
to think of another woman
while making love to you.

01:20:44.802 --> 01:20:46.548
One who smells good,

01:20:48.384 --> 01:20:50.656
who's young, less decrepit than you,

01:20:51.826 --> 01:20:54.185
but my imagination can't manage it.

01:20:56.513 --> 01:20:58.328
In the end, it's you again

01:20:59.203 --> 01:21:01.324
and then I feel like puking,

01:21:02.478 --> 01:21:04.075
and am embarrassed at myself.

01:21:04.638 --> 01:21:05.744
So what's the point?

01:21:10.149 --> 01:21:11.250
Are you through?

01:21:11.994 --> 01:21:13.389
I have been for ages.

01:21:14.962 --> 01:21:17.270
You must be very unhappy
to be so mean.

01:21:17.633 --> 01:21:19.404
Please, not that routine!

01:21:22.689 --> 01:21:24.859
I know I'm not much to look at.

01:21:25.747 --> 01:21:29.337
My bad breath comes from my ulcer,
you know that.

01:21:30.689 --> 01:21:33.737
It didn't bother you in the past.

01:21:34.384 --> 01:21:36.635
I had it when your wife was alive.

01:21:36.972 --> 01:21:39.659
Spare me these sordid details.

01:21:40.041 --> 01:21:43.128
Let me reassure you:
it always disgusted me.

01:21:44.905 --> 01:21:48.070
After Julie's death,
I wanted to ease my pain

01:21:48.453 --> 01:21:51.520
with anyone.
I could have screwed a cow!

01:21:53.767 --> 01:21:55.335
Whores are too far from here,

01:21:55.692 --> 01:21:58.286
and once every two months
isn't enough for me,

01:21:58.650 --> 01:22:00.775
even though I'm getting on.

01:22:01.496 --> 01:22:04.779
So skip acting like a martyr,
and scram.

01:22:07.175 --> 01:22:09.016
Why are you only noticing this now?

01:22:09.762 --> 01:22:12.862
When should I have noticed it?

01:22:14.717 --> 01:22:17.975
At the hospital,
I forgot how tiresome you are.

01:22:19.235 --> 01:22:21.745
One grows sentimental when in pain.

01:22:23.714 --> 01:22:26.227
Get out! Don't you have any pride?

01:22:27.638 --> 01:22:29.907
There's no room for any with you.

01:22:31.919 --> 01:22:33.109
That's true.

01:22:35.952 --> 01:22:37.615
What if I do something silly?

01:22:39.414 --> 01:22:40.540
Go ahead.

01:22:41.050 --> 01:22:43.346
It'd surprise me. But be careful:

01:22:43.738 --> 01:22:45.373
it may be painful.

01:22:46.599 --> 01:22:48.357
I know, I'm ridiculous.

01:22:50.189 --> 01:22:52.284
You wouldn't care anyway.

01:22:52.619 --> 01:22:53.638
Well...

01:22:56.841 --> 01:22:58.787
Why do you despise me?

01:22:59.711 --> 01:23:02.490
For helping to raise the boy?

01:23:04.562 --> 01:23:07.005
For watching you
finger your daughter

01:23:07.262 --> 01:23:08.639
and saying nothing?

01:23:11.190 --> 01:23:13.588
For helping you to deceive yourself?

01:23:14.744 --> 01:23:17.514
For listening to you
claim how you loved Julie,

01:23:17.668 --> 01:23:21.843
when everyone knew
you treated her as badly as me?

01:23:24.894 --> 01:23:28.097
For loving you,
when I know you can't stand

01:23:28.236 --> 01:23:29.436
being loved?

01:23:29.540 --> 01:23:30.667
That's it.

01:23:30.935 --> 01:23:33.192
Now get up. I have work to do.

01:23:35.231 --> 01:23:37.693
You can't afford to get rid of me.

01:23:38.519 --> 01:23:40.221
Who'll do the dirty work for you,

01:23:40.330 --> 01:23:43.258
who'll help you with the kids,
and your practice?

01:23:44.937 --> 01:23:46.603
You don't mean what you're saying.

01:23:47.007 --> 01:23:49.448
I want to see how far you can go:

01:23:49.785 --> 01:23:53.132
"Will she take it?
Can I drag her even lower?"

01:23:56.508 --> 01:23:57.892
I'm tired too.

01:23:58.882 --> 01:24:01.468
I've got two retarded kids:
Karli and you.

01:24:01.893 --> 01:24:03.216
You're the most troublesome one.

01:24:05.608 --> 01:24:07.808
My God, why don't you just die?

01:25:44.988 --> 01:25:47.889
<i>The year ended with fine weather.</i>

01:25:48.810 --> 01:25:51.024
<i>The snowy landscape
sparkled so brightly</i>

01:25:51.568 --> 01:25:53.592
<i>that it hurt the eyes.</i>

01:25:54.314 --> 01:25:55.457
<i>None of us suspected</i>

01:25:55.855 --> 01:25:58.505
<i>it'd be our last New Year
in an era of peace,</i>

01:25:58.654 --> 01:26:02.645
<i>and that this year
would bring a radical change,</i>

01:26:03.052 --> 01:26:06.758
<i>of a magnitude we couldn't foresee.</i>

01:26:09.801 --> 01:26:14.140
<i>Despite the strange events
that had unsettled the village,</i>

01:26:15.046 --> 01:26:17.854
<i>we thought of ourselves
as united in the belief</i>

01:26:18.236 --> 01:26:22.163
<i>that life in our community
was God's will, and worth living.</i>

01:26:22.678 --> 01:26:25.964
... Christ's body
as bread and as wine.

01:26:27.592 --> 01:26:31.893
May the period of preparation
for your confirmation

01:26:32.997 --> 01:26:34.460
be one of happiness

01:26:35.260 --> 01:26:36.778
and enrichment.

01:26:40.352 --> 01:26:42.395
You, Martin,

01:26:43.504 --> 01:26:46.777
will now be free
not only of that ribbon,

01:26:47.386 --> 01:26:51.042
but of those nightly ties

01:26:51.375 --> 01:26:55.281
that kept you from yielding to
the temptations of your young body.

01:27:00.935 --> 01:27:03.690
I trust you, my beloved children,

01:27:04.436 --> 01:27:07.226
and wish you
a profitable and happy new year.

01:27:11.388 --> 01:27:13.819
<i>Shortly after Easter,
in the last week of April,</i>

01:27:13.960 --> 01:27:16.558
<i>the Baroness came back
with the children.</i>

01:27:16.963 --> 01:27:19.658
<i>She was accompanied by a new nanny.</i>

01:27:20.794 --> 01:27:25.238
<i>My secret hope
that Eva could come back here,</i>

01:27:25.727 --> 01:27:27.357
<i>was definitely dashed.</i>

01:27:28.572 --> 01:27:31.583
<i>The new nanny was an Italian woman</i>

01:27:31.749 --> 01:27:35.568
<i>who came from the area
on the Mediterranean coast</i>

01:27:36.018 --> 01:27:38.903
<i>where the Baroness
had spent the winter.</i>

01:27:39.150 --> 01:27:40.297
Sigi!

01:27:42.508 --> 01:27:43.885
Hi, Ferdinand!

01:27:44.401 --> 01:27:45.609
Wait!

01:27:45.752 --> 01:27:47.299
I'll come down!

01:27:49.418 --> 01:27:52.374
Stay here, Sigi!
You can see the boys later.

01:27:52.501 --> 01:27:54.118
<i>Let him go, Madam.</i>

01:27:54.395 --> 01:27:56.512
<i>He's so happy to be back home!</i>

01:27:56.827 --> 01:27:59.348
All right, go.
But don't be too long.

01:28:25.418 --> 01:28:26.671
Marie-Luise?

01:28:30.666 --> 01:28:31.929
Where are you?

01:29:03.100 --> 01:29:04.188
Sigi!

01:29:04.923 --> 01:29:06.973
<i>Won't you come say hello to your father?</i>

01:29:25.999 --> 01:29:27.210
Watch out, he's coming!

01:29:29.072 --> 01:29:30.475
Be quiet!

01:29:31.157 --> 01:29:32.846
For God's sake! Be quiet!

01:29:33.180 --> 01:29:34.219
Quiet!

01:29:58.019 --> 01:29:59.232
What's going on here?

01:29:59.320 --> 01:30:00.856
Why are you still here?

01:30:01.413 --> 01:30:03.708
There's a divinity class now!

01:30:04.124 --> 01:30:05.215
Get going!

01:30:06.705 --> 01:30:08.082
How about a good-bye?

01:30:08.328 --> 01:30:10.017
Good bye, sir!

01:30:16.285 --> 01:30:17.319
Good bye, Pastor!

01:30:18.842 --> 01:30:20.751
I'm sorry, Pastor.
It won't happen again.

01:30:24.739 --> 01:30:25.922
Good bye, Pastor.

01:30:26.808 --> 01:30:27.988
Good bye.

01:30:32.648 --> 01:30:34.173
Let us pray.

01:30:36.243 --> 01:30:38.291
Our Father, who art in heaven

01:30:39.144 --> 01:30:40.950
hallowed by Thy name,

01:30:41.617 --> 01:30:44.430
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done

01:30:44.944 --> 01:30:47.629
on earth as it is in Heaven.

01:30:48.640 --> 01:30:51.284
Give us this day our daily bread

01:30:51.704 --> 01:30:53.819
and forgive us our trespasses

01:30:54.179 --> 01:30:57.334
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

01:30:57.702 --> 01:30:59.606
And lead us not into temptation

01:30:59.915 --> 01:31:02.535
but deliver us from evil

01:31:02.909 --> 01:31:05.664
for Thine is the kingdom, the power

01:31:06.352 --> 01:31:07.498
and the glory

01:31:07.584 --> 01:31:09.301
for ever and ever.

01:31:09.612 --> 01:31:10.730
Amen.

01:31:12.573 --> 01:31:13.957
Sit down.

01:31:27.545 --> 01:31:29.933
This is a very sad day for me.

01:31:31.988 --> 01:31:36.054
In a few weeks, we all want
to celebrate your confirmation.

01:31:37.765 --> 01:31:40.513
For months I've tried
to bring God's word closer to you,

01:31:40.922 --> 01:31:45.975
and make responsible
human beings out of you.

01:31:47.631 --> 01:31:50.315
Who do I face today?

01:31:52.135 --> 01:31:53.399
Yelling monkeys,

01:31:54.761 --> 01:31:58.809
undisciplined, as childish
as your 7-year-old classmates!

01:32:02.071 --> 01:32:03.351
But to me,

01:32:04.080 --> 01:32:05.939
what is even sadder

01:32:07.601 --> 01:32:09.211
is that my own daughter

01:32:09.317 --> 01:32:12.407
plays the leading role
in this pitiful display.

01:32:15.191 --> 01:32:18.102
Last year

01:32:18.545 --> 01:32:21.131
I tied a white ribbon in her hair.

01:32:23.240 --> 01:32:24.943
White, as you all know,

01:32:25.281 --> 01:32:26.844
is the color of innocence.

01:32:27.922 --> 01:32:31.053
The ribbon was meant
to help Klara avoid sin,

01:32:32.691 --> 01:32:34.093
selfishness,

01:32:34.189 --> 01:32:35.481
envy,

01:32:36.486 --> 01:32:39.575
indecency, lies and sloth.

01:32:41.939 --> 01:32:43.731
At the start of the year,

01:32:45.146 --> 01:32:46.431
I naïvely believed

01:32:46.777 --> 01:32:49.807
that she was now mature enough

01:32:51.007 --> 01:32:52.815
not to need that ribbon any more.

01:32:54.455 --> 01:32:56.695
That she'd become
responsible enough,

01:32:56.827 --> 01:32:59.273
as the daughter
of the spiritual leader of...

01:33:09.058 --> 01:33:10.345
Anni?

01:33:27.567 --> 01:33:29.822
Anni? Where are you?

01:34:07.127 --> 01:34:08.127
Anni?

01:34:52.661 --> 01:34:54.961
Rudi? What are you doing here?

01:34:56.068 --> 01:34:57.699
Why aren't you in bed?

01:34:57.980 --> 01:35:00.425
I can't go to sleep.

01:35:01.080 --> 01:35:03.287
Is that why you're wandering around?

01:35:03.590 --> 01:35:06.254
I woke up and you weren't there.

01:35:10.058 --> 01:35:12.698
Dad has pierced my earlobes.

01:35:13.322 --> 01:35:15.005
Does it hurt?

01:35:16.389 --> 01:35:17.644
Yes, a bit.

01:35:17.734 --> 01:35:19.848
Is that why you're crying?

01:35:19.975 --> 01:35:21.712
I'm not crying any more.

01:35:24.908 --> 01:35:26.605
Beauty has to suffer.

01:35:29.921 --> 01:35:31.571
That's what they say.

01:35:39.919 --> 01:35:41.240
Go back to bed.

01:35:42.073 --> 01:35:43.535
Anni's coming.

01:35:50.052 --> 01:35:53.866
I haven't worn earrings in ages,
so the holes closed up.

01:35:58.557 --> 01:36:01.150
For Whitsun,

01:36:01.780 --> 01:36:03.531
I'm getting Mom's.

01:36:05.256 --> 01:36:06.572
The pretty ones,

01:36:07.510 --> 01:36:08.510
you know?

01:36:52.472 --> 01:36:55.474
<i>A few days
after Klara's fainting fit,</i>

01:36:55.639 --> 01:36:57.240
<i>that frightened us all,</i>

01:36:57.344 --> 01:37:01.017
<i>and left her feverish and weakened,</i>

01:37:01.869 --> 01:37:04.849
<i>I went to see the steward,
on the eve of Whitsun</i>

01:37:05.012 --> 01:37:07.510
<i>to borrow the carriage again.</i>

01:37:08.509 --> 01:37:12.422
<i>Since my marriage proposal,
Eva wrote me once a week.</i>

01:37:12.869 --> 01:37:17.067
<i>I felt she was alone
and lost in the city,</i>

01:37:17.521 --> 01:37:22.005
<i>and was hinting for me
to come see her as soon as I could.</i>

01:37:23.012 --> 01:37:25.439
<i>I wanted to spend Saturday with her</i>

01:37:25.578 --> 01:37:27.477
<i>and be back on Sunday</i>

01:37:27.595 --> 01:37:31.354
<i>to prepare the confirmation ceremony
with the pastor.</i>

01:37:32.690 --> 01:37:35.309
<i>The steward had gone to the sawmill,</i>

01:37:35.691 --> 01:37:38.448
<i>but was due back any minute.</i>

01:38:04.345 --> 01:38:05.588
Good morning, sir.

01:38:05.679 --> 01:38:07.017
Hello, Erna.

01:38:16.880 --> 01:38:18.143
He's cute.

01:38:20.175 --> 01:38:21.218
Do you like him?

01:38:21.527 --> 01:38:22.625
Yes. Very much.

01:38:26.926 --> 01:38:29.100
He was quite sick last winter,
I was told.

01:38:29.756 --> 01:38:31.092
Yes. Very sick.

01:38:31.749 --> 01:38:35.039
But the doctor cured him, thank God.

01:38:36.715 --> 01:38:38.396
Maybe I'll come back this evening.

01:38:38.833 --> 01:38:40.804
I'm sure Father will come for coffee

01:38:40.925 --> 01:38:42.040
at four.

01:38:43.418 --> 01:38:44.798
Then I'll sit down again.

01:38:45.174 --> 01:38:47.603
Can I get you something? A coffee?

01:38:47.946 --> 01:38:49.405
It must be ready.

01:38:49.782 --> 01:38:53.092
No, thanks.
I'll just sit and wait.

01:38:53.269 --> 01:38:54.466
Sir!

01:38:58.624 --> 01:39:01.218
Can dreams come true?

01:39:03.630 --> 01:39:04.769
That depends.

01:39:05.031 --> 01:39:06.199
On what?

01:39:07.004 --> 01:39:08.400
On what does it depend?

01:39:09.951 --> 01:39:13.589
If you dream of being
first in your class, and study hard,

01:39:14.230 --> 01:39:15.986
your dream may come true.

01:39:16.373 --> 01:39:18.647
- I didn't mean that.
- Then what?

01:39:20.430 --> 01:39:22.849
I mean, if you dream of something,

01:39:23.449 --> 01:39:25.402
really dream it in your sleep,

01:39:25.801 --> 01:39:27.906
can it come true?

01:39:29.175 --> 01:39:30.853
Why, what did you dream?

01:39:34.942 --> 01:39:35.976
Tell me.

01:39:36.905 --> 01:39:38.610
You have something on your mind.

01:39:41.054 --> 01:39:42.397
So tell me.

01:39:44.520 --> 01:39:46.470
I dreamt that Karli...

01:39:47.612 --> 01:39:49.707
- the odd little boy of the...
- I know.

01:39:50.514 --> 01:39:52.227
Something terrible
will happen to him.

01:39:53.157 --> 01:39:54.492
Something terrible?

01:39:55.597 --> 01:39:56.935
Like what?

01:39:58.179 --> 01:39:59.609
I don't know.

01:40:00.344 --> 01:40:02.270
Like what happened to Sigi.

01:40:03.740 --> 01:40:04.838
But even worse.

01:40:05.646 --> 01:40:08.644
But he's so sweet. He harms no one.

01:40:09.047 --> 01:40:10.379
Come on...

01:40:12.013 --> 01:40:15.179
It was only a dream.
Don't take it so seriously.

01:40:24.666 --> 01:40:27.699
Dreams don't come true.
Let alone that kind.

01:40:32.106 --> 01:40:34.836
But sometimes
my dreams do come true.

01:40:35.443 --> 01:40:36.729
What do you mean?

01:40:41.296 --> 01:40:42.523
Last winter,

01:40:42.761 --> 01:40:45.275
before Gustl got sick,

01:40:45.652 --> 01:40:48.981
I dreamt
my brother opened his window,

01:40:49.319 --> 01:40:51.039
so he'd die.

01:40:51.323 --> 01:40:55.052
And his window was opened,
he caught a chill, almost died.

01:40:57.883 --> 01:40:59.467
What are you saying?

01:40:59.857 --> 01:41:01.166
That's nonsense!

01:41:22.413 --> 01:41:25.573
<i>We arranged to meet
at the railway station,</i>

01:41:26.032 --> 01:41:29.258
<i>as Eva wanted to avoid
being seen with me.</i>

01:41:29.954 --> 01:41:32.609
<i>She was living with distant cousins,</i>

01:41:33.065 --> 01:41:34.837
<i>who gave her parents</i>

01:41:35.202 --> 01:41:38.621
<i>regular reports on her behavior.</i>

01:41:39.132 --> 01:41:42.673
<i>She had become thinner,
which made her even prettier.</i>

01:41:43.537 --> 01:41:46.138
<i>I was ravished again
by her mixture of shyness</i>

01:41:46.285 --> 01:41:48.717
<i>and almost childlike outspokenness.</i>

01:41:49.576 --> 01:41:51.248
So it's not really so awful?

01:41:51.592 --> 01:41:54.286
No. But sweeping up hair all day...

01:41:54.705 --> 01:41:56.114
The twins were more fun.

01:41:56.427 --> 01:41:59.997
But it's all right.
I can't really complain.

01:42:00.210 --> 01:42:01.226
No?

01:42:01.307 --> 01:42:02.383
No.

01:42:02.715 --> 01:42:03.778
Really.

01:42:06.455 --> 01:42:08.516
Aside from the twins,
you miss nothing?

01:42:10.989 --> 01:42:12.443
Come on, you!

01:42:31.870 --> 01:42:34.151
How is the nanny? She only speaks Italian?

01:42:34.571 --> 01:42:36.244
That's what the steward says.

01:42:36.471 --> 01:42:37.617
I see.

01:42:45.682 --> 01:42:47.269
Where are you going?

01:42:47.592 --> 01:42:50.239
There's a nice little pond
in the wood.

01:42:50.722 --> 01:42:53.441
We can picnic there.
I brought some food.

01:42:56.125 --> 01:42:58.223
- I'd rather not.
- Why?

01:43:03.122 --> 01:43:04.322
What is it?

01:43:05.228 --> 01:43:06.273
Nothing.

01:43:07.355 --> 01:43:08.623
Please.

01:43:11.241 --> 01:43:13.375
I had no improper intentions.

01:43:13.759 --> 01:43:16.172
I just wanted you
to enjoy the picnic.

01:43:19.177 --> 01:43:20.379
Please.

01:43:22.041 --> 01:43:24.916
How could I disgrace my future wife?

01:43:30.128 --> 01:43:31.455
All right then.

01:43:31.608 --> 01:43:32.989
I'll turn around.

01:43:46.624 --> 01:43:47.879
Thanks.

01:44:18.353 --> 01:44:20.078
Accept and drink!

01:44:21.233 --> 01:44:23.587
This is the blood
of the New Testament,

01:44:23.940 --> 01:44:25.653
shed for you

01:44:25.991 --> 01:44:27.888
to forgive your sins.

01:45:58.056 --> 01:45:59.399
Here! He's here!

01:46:08.242 --> 01:46:09.484
Out of the way!

01:46:22.987 --> 01:46:24.831
"For I, the Lord, your God

01:46:24.982 --> 01:46:26.518
"am a jealous God

01:46:27.540 --> 01:46:32.034
"visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children

01:46:32.445 --> 01:46:35.188
unto the third
and fourth generation."

01:46:36.275 --> 01:46:39.545
<i>After the atrocities committed
on the retarded boy,</i>

01:46:40.009 --> 01:46:42.995
<i>the Baron was finally convinced
it was smarter</i>

01:46:43.376 --> 01:46:48.031
<i>to enlist the help
of the county's police force.</i>

01:46:48.795 --> 01:46:50.274
<i>So a few days later</i>

01:46:50.568 --> 01:46:53.285
<i>two plainclothes policemen arrived,</i>

01:46:53.738 --> 01:46:56.746
<i>who, after visiting
several of the crime scenes,</i>

01:46:57.153 --> 01:47:00.431
<i>inquired if anyone
had noticed anything suspicious.</i>

01:47:01.648 --> 01:47:04.825
<i>When I learnt of Karli's torture,</i>

01:47:05.154 --> 01:47:08.920
<i>I didn't think
of what Erna had told me.</i>

01:47:09.370 --> 01:47:13.653
<i>When I remembered,
I hesitated to tell the authorities.</i>

01:47:14.091 --> 01:47:18.000
<i>Such an absurd coincidence
might jeopardize</i>

01:47:18.204 --> 01:47:21.758
<i>the reputation and inner peace
of the steward's family.</i>

01:47:22.732 --> 01:47:27.689
<i>But when I heard that Karli
might lose his eyesight,</i>

01:47:28.161 --> 01:47:30.673
<i>I made Erna come to the school</i>

01:47:31.114 --> 01:47:33.617
<i>and tell the policemen
about her dream.</i>

01:47:33.969 --> 01:47:36.035
... we're not as stupid as you think.

01:47:36.436 --> 01:47:38.575
But I really dreamt it!

01:47:43.637 --> 01:47:45.000
Watch out!

01:47:47.264 --> 01:47:48.821
I'll give you one last chance:

01:47:50.607 --> 01:47:54.126
tell us who told you
of a plan to torture the boy,

01:47:54.631 --> 01:47:57.191
and we won't repeat it to anyone.

01:47:57.523 --> 01:47:58.553
All right?

01:48:03.028 --> 01:48:04.918
She's already had dreams
that came true.

01:48:05.847 --> 01:48:07.019
Is that so?

01:48:07.828 --> 01:48:09.055
About what, may I ask?

01:48:10.849 --> 01:48:12.947
It was a family matter.

01:48:13.523 --> 01:48:15.611
I see! A family matter.

01:48:15.972 --> 01:48:17.882
You checked if it was true?

01:48:18.199 --> 01:48:19.224
No.

01:48:21.543 --> 01:48:22.587
Well,

01:48:23.924 --> 01:48:25.127
it may be true.

01:48:26.434 --> 01:48:28.869
Maybe she's
an authentic clairvoyant,

01:48:29.347 --> 01:48:31.389
and we're luckier than we think.

01:48:32.438 --> 01:48:33.748
Stop crying!

01:48:36.457 --> 01:48:39.511
Your deceitful whining
won't work with me.

01:48:39.936 --> 01:48:42.462
I've got other ways
to make you talk.

01:48:43.580 --> 01:48:46.140
I don't believe in witches
and sorcerers,

01:48:46.528 --> 01:48:50.523
even less in the hallucinations
of a brat like you.

01:48:51.965 --> 01:48:54.151
So make up your mind
to tell me the truth.

01:48:54.497 --> 01:48:57.193
I won't let go till you come clean.
Got that?

01:48:59.205 --> 01:49:01.758
Now let's go see
what your parents think

01:49:02.142 --> 01:49:04.587
of your version of the story.

01:49:05.501 --> 01:49:07.271
Can you come with us?

01:49:07.630 --> 01:49:08.776
Of course.

01:49:11.102 --> 01:49:12.286
Hello, there!

01:49:13.042 --> 01:49:14.270
Who do we have here?

01:49:14.849 --> 01:49:16.067
Good afternoon.

01:49:16.355 --> 01:49:17.544
Good afternoon, sir.

01:49:19.465 --> 01:49:21.128
Why do you eavesdrop?

01:49:21.438 --> 01:49:25.411
We saw the teacher had visitors.
We didn't want to intrude.

01:49:25.887 --> 01:49:28.307
We were waiting to talk to him.

01:49:28.624 --> 01:49:29.826
What do you want?

01:49:31.150 --> 01:49:32.893
To ask you about Karli.

01:49:33.167 --> 01:49:34.265
Like what?

01:49:35.521 --> 01:49:37.331
We heard he isn't well.

01:49:38.125 --> 01:49:40.156
We wondered if we could help.

01:49:43.480 --> 01:49:44.612
You'll be all right...

01:49:52.443 --> 01:49:53.990
I know, it hurts.

01:50:04.791 --> 01:50:06.566
Be patient...

01:50:14.898 --> 01:50:16.495
Everything will be fine again.

01:50:17.354 --> 01:50:18.794
It'll be fine.

01:50:29.862 --> 01:50:31.507
I have to go now, Karli.

01:50:33.542 --> 01:50:35.124
Don't worry.

01:50:36.586 --> 01:50:37.980
I'll be back tomorrow.

01:50:42.695 --> 01:50:44.825
You'll be all right.
Don't be afraid.

01:50:45.189 --> 01:50:46.568
The doctor will be back.

01:52:45.533 --> 01:52:46.714
Come in!

01:52:56.346 --> 01:52:57.452
Yes?

01:53:14.268 --> 01:53:15.357
What is it?

01:53:17.695 --> 01:53:19.322
To replace Piepsi.

01:53:20.096 --> 01:53:22.804
Because you're so sad.

01:53:30.302 --> 01:53:31.420
Thank you.

01:53:34.369 --> 01:53:35.992
You're welcome, Father.

01:54:26.932 --> 01:54:28.970
- Give me the whistle!
- Sorry?

01:54:29.352 --> 01:54:31.265
The whistle!

01:54:31.690 --> 01:54:33.289
What whistle?

01:54:34.197 --> 01:54:35.363
Give it to me!

01:54:35.937 --> 01:54:37.323
What whistle?

01:54:39.928 --> 01:54:41.539
Give it, or I'll kill you.

01:54:41.890 --> 01:54:43.809
I have no whistle.

01:54:45.311 --> 01:54:47.178
Bastard!

01:54:47.594 --> 01:54:49.230
Wretch!

01:54:49.533 --> 01:54:50.873
For God's sake,

01:54:51.592 --> 01:54:52.932
what's got into you?

01:54:53.551 --> 01:54:54.704
What has he done?

01:54:55.762 --> 01:54:59.565
For the last time, give it to me!

01:54:59.974 --> 01:55:01.366
Give you what, Father?

01:55:01.694 --> 01:55:02.816
What is it?

01:55:03.271 --> 01:55:04.776
What are you talking about?

01:55:05.946 --> 01:55:07.543
You know what I mean!

01:55:08.684 --> 01:55:10.950
But if he says so!
What's going on?

01:55:17.303 --> 01:55:18.821
Please wait!

01:55:20.153 --> 01:55:21.772
What did the boy do?

01:55:22.122 --> 01:55:23.666
Calm down.

01:55:24.539 --> 01:55:28.095
Stay out of it!
I have to go back to the Baron.

01:55:46.515 --> 01:55:49.325
Georg! Please, don't!

01:55:49.846 --> 01:55:51.728
You'll kill him!

01:55:52.866 --> 01:55:56.234
... with the birch-trees in Retenow,
it'll be 6,000 cubic meters.

01:55:57.355 --> 01:56:00.225
It'll take them around three weeks.

01:56:02.882 --> 01:56:05.518
And now we have 80 extra Poles.

01:56:06.369 --> 01:56:08.554
They've been put up in the annex.

01:56:08.955 --> 01:56:11.059
We're all out of bedding.

01:56:12.672 --> 01:56:14.213
It takes time.

01:56:15.920 --> 01:56:17.736
There are lots of kids with them.

01:56:18.684 --> 01:56:20.050
In spite of it...

01:56:20.145 --> 01:56:21.721
I won't stay here.

01:56:22.387 --> 01:56:23.542
What?

01:56:24.416 --> 01:56:25.894
I won't stay here.

01:56:30.667 --> 01:56:31.869
What does that mean?

01:56:32.478 --> 01:56:34.619
That I'm leaving with the children.

01:56:35.866 --> 01:56:37.182
What do you mean?

01:56:37.528 --> 01:56:39.855
Armin!
That's not so hard to understand.

01:56:43.742 --> 01:56:44.991
How do you plan to do all this?

01:56:46.812 --> 01:56:48.295
I don't know yet.

01:56:49.153 --> 01:56:51.771
But in any case,
we're leaving this place.

01:56:51.979 --> 01:56:53.082
"We"?

01:56:54.381 --> 01:56:55.389
Yes.

01:57:14.587 --> 01:57:15.894
That'll be all, thank you.

01:57:16.225 --> 01:57:18.084
Good night, Baroness and Baron.

01:57:34.664 --> 01:57:37.621
I only came back
out of fairness to you.

01:57:41.558 --> 01:57:43.284
To give us a chance.

01:57:47.854 --> 01:57:49.945
You gave me a chance?

01:57:52.188 --> 01:57:54.770
Wonderful! And I missed my chance?

01:57:55.954 --> 01:57:58.553
Will that help us
to solve the problem?

01:57:58.917 --> 01:58:00.053
What?

01:58:00.103 --> 01:58:01.445
Your sarcasm.

01:58:01.576 --> 01:58:04.416
What is the problem
we have to solve?

01:58:07.990 --> 01:58:09.274
You stay here!

01:58:13.492 --> 01:58:15.491
You'll only leave when I say so.

01:58:24.845 --> 01:58:26.110
Fine.

01:58:36.726 --> 01:58:39.147
I was hoping to spare you this.

01:58:43.271 --> 01:58:46.509
At Uncle Edoardo's
I fell in love with a man.

01:58:48.518 --> 01:58:50.225
He's from Lombardy

01:58:50.535 --> 01:58:54.255
and is a banker who advised
Uncle Edoardo financially.

01:58:56.656 --> 01:58:58.302
He courted me assiduously

01:58:59.370 --> 01:59:01.641
and was very fond of the children.

01:59:04.063 --> 01:59:07.375
It was thanks to him
that Sigi has blossomed.

01:59:11.686 --> 01:59:13.667
Despite this, we came back.

01:59:15.222 --> 01:59:17.164
Because I felt committed to you.

01:59:20.402 --> 01:59:22.584
But I can't stand this place
any longer.

01:59:23.727 --> 01:59:25.502
Not so much personally,

01:59:26.276 --> 01:59:28.757
though life with you

01:59:28.864 --> 01:59:31.344
isn't thrilling
for a woman of my age.

01:59:34.469 --> 01:59:38.166
I'm leaving so the children
don't grow up in surroundings

01:59:38.554 --> 01:59:41.375
that are dominated by malice,

01:59:42.673 --> 01:59:43.816
envy,

01:59:44.506 --> 01:59:47.062
apathy and brutality.

01:59:51.066 --> 01:59:54.004
Sigi's whistle was the last straw.

01:59:57.253 --> 01:59:59.160
I'm sick and tired of persecutions,

02:00:00.124 --> 02:00:02.610
threats
and perverse acts of revenge.

02:00:09.249 --> 02:00:10.728
Did you sleep with him?

02:00:13.025 --> 02:00:14.905
You don't understand anything.

02:00:15.618 --> 02:00:17.231
Did you sleep with him?

02:00:23.420 --> 02:00:25.051
No. I didn't sleep with him.

02:00:27.521 --> 02:00:29.639
You're lying, right?

02:00:37.533 --> 02:00:38.533
Come in!

02:00:41.554 --> 02:00:42.826
Good evening.

02:00:44.451 --> 02:00:45.615
Good evening, Baroness.

02:00:46.087 --> 02:00:48.540
- Can I talk to you?
- Can't it wait?

02:00:48.826 --> 02:00:51.963
No, or I wouldn't have
disturbed you so late.

02:02:08.275 --> 02:02:09.430
What is it?

02:02:11.564 --> 02:02:14.562
They've assassinated
Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo.

02:02:17.166 --> 02:02:20.383
<i>The news spread around the village
like wildfire.</i>

02:02:21.411 --> 02:02:23.289
<i>What would the consequences be?</i>

02:02:24.222 --> 02:02:27.612
<i>The first who said "war",
was severely contradicted.</i>

02:02:28.961 --> 02:02:31.286
<i>But once the word had been uttered,</i>

02:02:31.628 --> 02:02:35.859
<i>it remained stubbornly
at the center of all our thoughts.</i>

02:02:37.860 --> 02:02:41.525
<i>I wanted to go to town quickly
to discuss with Eva</i>

02:02:41.900 --> 02:02:45.093
<i>what we should do
if war broke out.</i>

02:02:45.904 --> 02:02:49.625
<i>Maybe her father would now agreed
to an earlier marriage.</i>

02:02:51.711 --> 02:02:53.744
<i>I asked the Baroness for the bicycle</i>

02:02:53.981 --> 02:02:56.538
<i>that Eva had borrowed previously.</i>

02:02:57.483 --> 02:03:01.411
<i>I planned to use it
to visit her Sunday.</i>

02:03:03.547 --> 02:03:07.589
<i>Friday when I went to pick up
the bicycle,</i>

02:03:08.230 --> 02:03:11.486
<i>I witnessed a strange confrontation.</i>

02:03:23.415 --> 02:03:25.018
What is it, Mrs Wagner?

02:03:27.064 --> 02:03:28.345
Can I borrow your bicycle?

02:03:28.659 --> 02:03:31.315
- It's not mine.
- Can I borrow it anyway?

02:03:31.734 --> 02:03:34.881
I just borrowed it myself.
To visit my fiancée.

02:03:35.282 --> 02:03:36.579
Please!

02:03:37.039 --> 02:03:38.917
Where do you want to go?

02:03:39.316 --> 02:03:40.694
- To town.
- What for?

02:03:41.008 --> 02:03:45.078
The stubborn steward
won't lend me a carriage.

02:03:46.070 --> 02:03:47.828
Please lend it to me.

02:03:48.161 --> 02:03:49.804
Why? What for?

02:03:50.228 --> 02:03:53.507
To go to the police.
I know who committed those crimes.

02:03:53.763 --> 02:03:54.904
Who?

02:03:55.819 --> 02:03:57.157
Can I have the bicycle?

02:03:58.068 --> 02:03:59.486
Why not tell me?

02:03:59.773 --> 02:04:03.172
I'll only talk to the police.
I'm sick of insults.

02:04:05.109 --> 02:04:06.958
What about the doctor's horse?

02:04:07.270 --> 02:04:08.898
I don't know how to ride.

02:04:11.285 --> 02:04:14.059
Please! Believe me!

02:04:14.376 --> 02:04:17.134
My son told me who did it to him.

02:04:18.844 --> 02:04:20.486
He may lose his eyesight.

02:04:21.476 --> 02:04:23.050
Lend it to me!

02:04:26.564 --> 02:04:27.678
Thanks!

02:04:31.362 --> 02:04:34.844
<i>I was so sorry that I gave in.</i>

02:04:35.527 --> 02:04:37.774
<i>But the state of that woman,</i>

02:04:37.872 --> 02:04:40.119
<i>usually so level headed, upset me.</i>

02:04:40.974 --> 02:04:44.969
<i>What had she found out
that she didn't dare tell?</i>

02:04:46.433 --> 02:04:49.778
<i>Back in the village,
I decided to investigate.</i>

02:05:02.006 --> 02:05:03.190
Hello, sir.

02:05:03.826 --> 02:05:04.990
Hello, Klara.

02:05:07.509 --> 02:05:08.755
What are you doing here?

02:05:11.230 --> 02:05:13.051
We wanted to see how Karli was.

02:05:13.166 --> 02:05:16.429
Can't you see it's closed up?

02:05:17.187 --> 02:05:18.910
Yes. We were worried.

02:05:19.423 --> 02:05:22.403
We saw Mrs Wagner
bicycling off.

02:05:23.374 --> 02:05:25.450
We wondered
what had happened to Karli.

02:05:29.507 --> 02:05:31.788
Go home.
You don't belong in here.

02:05:46.474 --> 02:05:48.148
Go on home.

02:05:49.446 --> 02:05:50.607
Good bye, teacher.

02:05:57.769 --> 02:06:02.267
<i>I wondered why the midwife
had closed the shutters.</i>

02:06:02.966 --> 02:06:05.495
<i>Nobody in the village
locked their house.</i>

02:06:06.156 --> 02:06:09.258
<i>Why had the midwife
locked in her son?</i>

02:06:09.816 --> 02:06:11.238
<i>Karli, can you hear me?</i>

02:06:16.329 --> 02:06:19.026
<i>I thought of Erna's dream again.</i>

02:06:19.459 --> 02:06:21.158
<i>What if Erna hadn't dreamt it,</i>

02:06:21.267 --> 02:06:23.998
<i>but knew that Karli
would be tortured,</i>

02:06:24.700 --> 02:06:26.927
<i>who had told her?</i>

02:06:27.361 --> 02:06:29.886
<i>Who wouldn't she denounce?</i>

02:06:31.219 --> 02:06:34.952
<i>The kids' interest in Karli
seemed strange to me.</i>

02:06:35.476 --> 02:06:39.038
<i>Usually, because of his disability,</i>

02:06:39.228 --> 02:06:45.226
<i>they had no contact with him,
or treated him disdainfully.</i>

02:06:46.716 --> 02:06:48.999
<i>When the midwife
couldn't take care of him,</i>

02:06:49.421 --> 02:06:52.861
<i>she entrusted him to me
or the doctor.</i>

02:06:53.311 --> 02:06:56.765
<i>But since his mishap,
I hadn't seen him again.</i>

02:06:57.922 --> 02:07:01.052
<i>Worried,
I decided to ask the doctor.</i>

02:07:01.522 --> 02:07:04.235
OFFICE CLOSED
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

02:07:10.019 --> 02:07:12.507
- Wasn't his daughter in school?
- Yes, she was.

02:07:13.665 --> 02:07:15.215
And she said nothing?

02:07:17.172 --> 02:07:18.386
I have a request...

02:07:19.587 --> 02:07:21.544
Could I talk to Klara and Martin?

02:07:21.892 --> 02:07:23.524
Won't you wait for my husband?

02:07:23.930 --> 02:07:26.741
He's at the church.
The service is almost over.

02:07:27.690 --> 02:07:29.587
But if you insist, please come in.

02:07:31.627 --> 02:07:32.946
Be seated.

02:07:34.051 --> 02:07:35.368
I'll fetch them for you.

02:08:12.187 --> 02:08:13.338
Good evening, sir.

02:08:15.103 --> 02:08:16.645
Won't you sit down?

02:08:17.328 --> 02:08:18.909
Yes. Perhaps. With pleasure.

02:08:19.921 --> 02:08:21.659
Can I offer you something?

02:08:24.235 --> 02:08:26.276
A coffee,
like during the piano lessons?

02:08:28.455 --> 02:08:30.685
Yes, with pleasure.
Very kind of you.

02:08:31.016 --> 02:08:32.317
I'll be right back.

02:08:37.976 --> 02:08:40.406
Did you know the doctor
was leaving Eichwald?

02:08:42.324 --> 02:08:44.481
You're not surprised by my question?

02:08:44.777 --> 02:08:48.021
Our mother just told us.

02:08:49.700 --> 02:08:51.882
Anna didn't tell you?

02:08:55.404 --> 02:08:56.769
Not a word?

02:08:58.326 --> 02:09:01.486
It's odd not to say
you're going away on a trip.

02:09:01.657 --> 02:09:03.392
Anna doesn't say much.

02:09:03.467 --> 02:09:05.202
But this was completely different.

02:09:08.257 --> 02:09:10.236
You're hiding something from me.

02:09:10.647 --> 02:09:11.687
What?

02:09:12.385 --> 02:09:14.405
I'm waiting for you to tell me.

02:09:18.531 --> 02:09:20.768
When you looked for Karli,

02:09:20.900 --> 02:09:22.660
what did you want from him?

02:09:22.979 --> 02:09:24.879
We were worried. He's ill.

02:09:24.996 --> 02:09:27.014
I'm asking Martin.

02:09:27.997 --> 02:09:30.249
Yes. He isn't well.

02:09:30.382 --> 02:09:32.627
And since his mother was leaving

02:09:33.325 --> 02:09:35.757
we thought we'd pay him a visit.

02:09:44.310 --> 02:09:47.828
Did you ever wonder
who mistreated Karli?

02:09:49.704 --> 02:09:51.129
And Sigi?

02:09:53.633 --> 02:09:55.902
Who tied the wire
to trip the doctor?

02:09:56.225 --> 02:09:57.989
Who set fire to the barn?

02:09:59.787 --> 02:10:00.849
No?

02:10:01.040 --> 02:10:02.374
Of course, we wondered.

02:10:02.701 --> 02:10:03.771
Well?

02:10:04.466 --> 02:10:07.511
Father said
it must be a sick person.

02:10:11.323 --> 02:10:15.616
Sigi was with you at Thanksgiving.
And Karli always wenet along.

02:10:16.494 --> 02:10:17.630
I don't understand.

02:10:17.680 --> 02:10:18.822
No?

02:10:25.872 --> 02:10:27.069
What did they do wrong?

02:10:28.367 --> 02:10:30.420
- Who?
- Sigi and Karli.

02:10:30.646 --> 02:10:31.854
Why?

02:10:31.958 --> 02:10:34.667
They obviously were being punished.
For what?

02:10:34.898 --> 02:10:36.024
I don't know.

02:10:36.388 --> 02:10:39.218
Erna foresaw that Karli
would be punished. What for?

02:10:39.628 --> 02:10:40.780
I don't know!

02:10:43.229 --> 02:10:44.415
Why ask us?

02:10:44.502 --> 02:10:47.917
You're a smart girl, Klara.
Don't play dumb.

02:10:50.991 --> 02:10:52.036
I don't understand.

02:10:52.319 --> 02:10:55.678
Talk about this
with Father or Mother.

02:10:56.037 --> 02:10:57.551
Shall I get them?

02:10:57.761 --> 02:10:59.157
Martin, will you go?

02:10:59.254 --> 02:11:00.976
Stay here, Martin.

02:11:01.353 --> 02:11:03.990
I'll see them later.
Now, I'm talking to you.

02:11:04.314 --> 02:11:06.679
Tell me the truth.

02:11:07.024 --> 02:11:09.254
- Where were you when Karli was...
- Here.

02:11:09.557 --> 02:11:11.914
I mean, after the confirmation?

02:11:13.000 --> 02:11:14.513
Coffee's coming.

02:11:19.176 --> 02:11:20.906
Could the children help you?

02:11:23.216 --> 02:11:25.411
I'm afraid not. They know nothing.

02:11:27.633 --> 02:11:29.906
His daughter said nothing at school?

02:11:30.768 --> 02:11:31.789
No.

02:11:33.102 --> 02:11:34.451
Sorry I disturbed you.

02:11:34.546 --> 02:11:38.964
Stay! My husband is coming,
and the coffee is almost ready.

02:11:39.189 --> 02:11:42.930
Thanks, but I'm worried
about the midwife's son.

02:11:45.077 --> 02:11:48.169
- She didn't say when she'd be back?
- I didn't ask her.

02:11:49.082 --> 02:11:51.467
She caught me off guard.
She was panicked.

02:11:51.892 --> 02:11:53.704
Wait, I hear my husband.

02:11:53.817 --> 02:11:57.231
Good evening.

02:11:58.652 --> 02:12:00.510
The teacher was waiting for you.

02:12:01.432 --> 02:12:03.680
Yes. I'd like a word with you.

02:12:04.051 --> 02:12:07.348
Please. Let's go to my study.
It's quieter.

02:12:12.447 --> 02:12:14.371
What's this about?

02:12:17.291 --> 02:12:19.367
I spoke to the midwife:

02:12:19.646 --> 02:12:22.348
she said she knew
who tortured her son.

02:12:23.773 --> 02:12:27.638
She'll only tell the police,
and went to town.

02:12:30.456 --> 02:12:31.456
Well?

02:12:33.008 --> 02:12:36.544
She left the boy behind alone
and locked the house.

02:12:37.965 --> 02:12:39.312
Locked it?

02:12:41.864 --> 02:12:44.018
I went to ask the doctor

02:12:44.146 --> 02:12:46.398
if he was caring
for the child, but...

02:12:48.421 --> 02:12:51.435
there's a paper saying
that the office is closed.

02:12:51.872 --> 02:12:54.310
He and his kids have disappeared.

02:12:54.824 --> 02:12:55.913
What does it mean?

02:12:56.148 --> 02:12:57.399
I don't know.

02:12:58.235 --> 02:13:01.112
I thought you might know.
That's why I'm here.

02:13:01.761 --> 02:13:02.806
I have no idea.

02:13:04.529 --> 02:13:05.919
Please be seated.

02:13:10.227 --> 02:13:12.705
Wasn't his daughter in school?

02:13:13.042 --> 02:13:15.661
Yes. She mentioned nothing.

02:13:18.990 --> 02:13:22.582
I asked Klara and Martin.
They know nothing either.

02:13:23.303 --> 02:13:24.676
Why should they?

02:13:27.232 --> 02:13:28.480
I don't know...

02:13:29.623 --> 02:13:33.629
I went to Mrs Wagner's place:
they and some others were there.

02:13:34.143 --> 02:13:35.521
To do what?

02:13:35.991 --> 02:13:37.392
They were looking for the boy.

02:13:37.787 --> 02:13:38.825
Why?

02:13:39.531 --> 02:13:41.194
They wanted to help him.

02:13:42.710 --> 02:13:43.764
So what?

02:13:46.624 --> 02:13:48.409
I don't know how to say it...

02:13:49.112 --> 02:13:51.306
I think they're hiding something.

02:13:51.512 --> 02:13:52.642
What?

02:13:54.954 --> 02:13:56.207
I don't know.

02:13:57.848 --> 02:14:00.163
When the doctor had his accident,

02:14:00.539 --> 02:14:02.171
last year,

02:14:03.376 --> 02:14:07.414
they appeared in his garden.
Supposedly, to help Anna.

02:14:09.543 --> 02:14:10.655
Yes... and?

02:14:12.647 --> 02:14:14.696
Nothing. I had forgotten it.

02:14:15.602 --> 02:14:17.517
I just remembered today.

02:14:18.921 --> 02:14:20.103
I don't understand.

02:14:21.994 --> 02:14:24.479
When the Baron's son was found...

02:14:24.791 --> 02:14:26.928
He'd been with the children
just before.

02:14:30.460 --> 02:14:31.784
What are you getting at?

02:14:33.411 --> 02:14:35.051
The steward's daughter

02:14:35.448 --> 02:14:40.074
predicted that Karli
would be beaten.

02:14:40.637 --> 02:14:42.563
She says she dreamt it.

02:14:43.160 --> 02:14:45.012
The police think she's lying.

02:14:45.936 --> 02:14:49.174
From whom did she find out?
Who told her?

02:15:06.346 --> 02:15:09.500
You're saying that your pupils,
my children included,

02:15:09.671 --> 02:15:12.581
committed these crimes.
Is that right?

02:15:16.678 --> 02:15:18.250
You realize what you're saying?

02:15:19.344 --> 02:15:21.028
Do you really know...

02:15:35.935 --> 02:15:37.829
I assume I'm the first person

02:15:38.976 --> 02:15:41.562
to hear these monstrosities.

02:15:44.107 --> 02:15:46.406
If you ever dare

02:15:47.276 --> 02:15:49.100
to bother others with this,

02:15:50.183 --> 02:15:51.845
if you ever accuse

02:15:52.247 --> 02:15:54.855
respectable families and their children

02:15:55.255 --> 02:15:56.961
and denounce them publicly,

02:15:58.198 --> 02:16:01.299
I'll make sure, take my word for it,

02:16:01.684 --> 02:16:03.230
that you go to prison.

02:16:04.486 --> 02:16:08.406
I've seen a lot
during my work as a pastor,

02:16:08.609 --> 02:16:12.161
but never anything so repulsive!

02:16:14.337 --> 02:16:16.691
One can tell you have no children.

02:16:18.340 --> 02:16:21.459
Or you wouldn't stoop
to such aberrations.

02:16:24.063 --> 02:16:25.683
You have a sick mind.

02:16:26.940 --> 02:16:30.983
How did they let you loose
among those poor creatures!

02:16:32.995 --> 02:16:36.352
I'll speak to the authorities
about this.

02:16:37.343 --> 02:16:39.308
Now get out of my house!

02:16:40.832 --> 02:16:42.625
I don't want to see you here again.

02:16:49.864 --> 02:16:52.043
<i>The midwife didn't come back.</i>

02:16:53.220 --> 02:16:56.264
<i>I waited until morning,
two days later.</i>

02:16:56.737 --> 02:16:58.142
<i>Then I went to the manor house</i>

02:16:58.239 --> 02:17:00.350
<i>to inform the Baron.</i>

02:17:00.725 --> 02:17:03.743
<i>He told the steward
and said to open the house</i>

02:17:03.909 --> 02:17:05.824
<i>and take care of the disabled boy.</i>

02:17:06.218 --> 02:17:07.368
<i>I'll look upstairs.</i>

02:17:09.140 --> 02:17:11.775
<i>I'd never been
in the midwife's house</i>

02:17:12.172 --> 02:17:13.401
<i>and felt uncomfortable</i>

02:17:13.489 --> 02:17:17.352
<i>barging into somebody else's place
without asking.</i>

02:17:19.212 --> 02:17:20.636
<i>It was strange,</i>

02:17:21.493 --> 02:17:25.346
<i>but while we still searched
and called out Karli's name,</i>

02:17:25.548 --> 02:17:28.669
<i>I already knew
our search was in vain.</i>

02:17:29.495 --> 02:17:33.905
<i>Anyone who knew how devoted
the midwife was to her son,</i>

02:17:34.348 --> 02:17:39.764
<i>knew she'd never have abandoned
her wounded Karli.</i>

02:17:42.629 --> 02:17:44.361
<i>During the next few weeks,</i>

02:17:44.471 --> 02:17:47.591
<i>the village gossips worked overtime.</i>

02:17:48.373 --> 02:17:51.644
<i>Some claimed the doctor
was Karli's father.</i>

02:17:52.124 --> 02:17:54.743
<i>He and the midwife
had tried to abort the child</i>

02:17:54.890 --> 02:17:58.376
<i>so their relationship
wouldn't be found out,</i>

02:17:58.769 --> 02:18:02.255
<i>and that's how
the child was disabled.</i>

02:18:03.256 --> 02:18:05.096
<i>Some even claimed</i>

02:18:05.211 --> 02:18:09.508
<i>that the death of the doctor's wife
was suspect,</i>

02:18:09.729 --> 02:18:13.863
<i>and the two might very well
be responsible for it.</i>

02:18:15.241 --> 02:18:17.198
<i>Better still,
the doctor and the midwife,</i>

02:18:17.283 --> 02:18:19.239
<i>as potential murderers,y</i>

02:18:19.359 --> 02:18:23.704
<i>had also perpetrated
all the other crimes.</i>

02:18:24.239 --> 02:18:27.077
<i>Wanting to spare
his legitimate children and himself</i>

02:18:27.236 --> 02:18:30.213
<i>from public disclosure of his guilt,</i>

02:18:30.376 --> 02:18:33.501
<i>the doctor had fled with them.</i>

02:18:35.064 --> 02:18:39.377
<i>On July 28th,
Austria declared war on Serbia.</i>

02:18:39.795 --> 02:18:43.886
<i>On Saturday, August 1st,
Germany declared war on Russia,</i>

02:18:44.099 --> 02:18:47.023
<i>and on France the following Monday.</i>

02:18:48.820 --> 02:18:53.141
<i>The solemn service next Sunday
was attended by the whole village.</i>

02:18:53.505 --> 02:18:57.142
<i>A feeling of expectation
and departure was in the air.</i>

02:18:57.616 --> 02:19:00.045
<i>Now everything was going to change.</i>

02:19:00.779 --> 02:19:04.210
<i>Eva's father,
in the face of the coming war,</i>

02:19:04.588 --> 02:19:06.691
<i>had taken his daughter back home,</i>

02:19:06.781 --> 02:19:10.290
<i>and, at her pleading,
had come to Eichwald</i>

02:19:10.758 --> 02:19:15.480
<i>where his future son-in-law lived
and worked, to look it over.</i>

02:19:16.637 --> 02:19:20.673
<i>The prospect of soon calling
this beloved creature my wife</i>

02:19:20.881 --> 02:19:24.029
<i>also made this a festive day for me.</i>

02:19:25.054 --> 02:19:27.975
<i>The pastor never mentioned
our conversation again.</i>

02:19:28.353 --> 02:19:32.947
<i>And apparently never went through
with his threat to denounce me.</i>

02:19:34.177 --> 02:19:37.346
<i>I was drafted at the start of 1917.</i>

02:19:37.763 --> 02:19:41.026
<i>After the war,
as my father had died meanwhile,</i>

02:19:41.477 --> 02:19:43.559
<i>I sold his house in Vasendorf,</i>

02:19:44.021 --> 02:19:48.034
<i>and with the money
opened a tailor's shop in town.</i>

02:19:48.500 --> 02:19:51.167
<i>I never saw
any of the villagers again.</i>
