THE CASTLE

Wait!

Anyone there?

Where is your permission?

Permission?

This village belongs to the castle.

So nobody stays here without
the permission.

Well, in this case
I have to get one.

And from whom, pray?

From the count. Who else?

At this late hour?

Then why did you wake me up?

I insist on respect
for the count's authority!

I woke you up only to get you
out of this place.

- And who are you, may I ask?
- I`m...

I am Schwarzer.

The son of the count's castellan.

The son of the castellan...

Well, Mr. Schwarzer,

I am the Land Surveyor
whom the count is expecting.

My assistants are coming tomorrow
with the equipment.

That`s all I have to say.

Any questions?

I`ll make a call.

Hello.
Is this the office?

I'm the landlord.
You can stay in my room.

Just give me a mattress.

This is Schwarzer.

I have found a man here...

Yes... He`s dressed inappropriately.

He claims that he is the Land Surveyor

invited by the count himself!

Yes...

I see.

Just what I said!

He lied to us!

He`s not the Land Surveyor!
Close the door!

Schwarzer here...

Was it a mistake?

Mr. Klamm himself...

So what should I tell
Mr. Land Surveyor?

I'm awfully sorry Mr. Land Surveyor.

Here it is.

I beg you to forget this incident.

If you need something...

I can... Look...

I have something better for you.

Give me the cases.

According to our rules,

special permission for new
music is required.

So make a call.

I am sorry, but the permission
has to be written.

So shall I disturb the count?

Oh, no!

You have to send a request
to Mr. Erlanger.

I'll do it myself.

All right. Enough for today.

I haven't met the count yet

but he pays well for good work,
doesn't he?

There’s no need to worry
about that.

My assistants should be arriving soon.

- Will you be able to settle them here?
- Certainly, Sir.

But won't they be staying
with you at the castle?

If we have to work down here,

it would be more convenient
to stay here.

And who is that?
The count?

No. The castellan.

Handsome.

A pity that he has such a silly son.

It depends...

Schwarzer exaggerated yesterday.

His father is one of the lowest
under-castellans.

You don't say.

How long shall I wait?

Good morning. Mr. Teacher.

Land Surveyor.

Are you going to the castle?

Yes. I am a stranger here.
I came only last night.

But you don't like it here?

What?

Is this your file?

No.

Be careful.

Otherwise you won't make it.

- Who opened the door?
- It's Land Surveyor.

What does he want?

You see... I was going to the castle

and got a little tired.

So I decided to have a small rest...

How do you do?

Sit there.

Kiele!

Mr. Land Surveyor,

Mr. Land Surveyor,

I am Gerstacker,

a friend of Mr. Brunswick,

the owner of this house,

you can't stay here, Sir.

Excuse our discourtesy.

I don't want to stay.

But where is the owner?
Mr. Brunswick?

It is me.

Well... I see…

I am grateful to you

for the hospitality.

Who are you?

- Excuse the discourtesy.
- Certainly I do.

Hospitality is not our custom here.
We have no use for visitors.

To be sure, what use
would you have for visitors?

Good afternoon, lads!
Where are you off to so late?

To the inn!

What for?

On business!

Wait for me.

Wait for me. I've lost my way!

I'll give you a lift.

Hey, what's your name?
Gerstacker?

Who was that woman?

Is she from the castle?

Hey, who was that?

Who was that?

Who are you?

Your assistants.

Yes, assistants.

This is Arthur and this is Jeremiagh.

I see.

- So it was you I told to follow me?
- Yes.

And where is your equipment?

We haven’t any.

- Do you know anything about surveying?
- No.

- Prepare the room.
- Yes, Sir.

Get out of here!

So...

Here it is.

You are not to speak to anyone
without my permission.

I am a stranger here

and if you are my old
assistants you are strangers, too.

And strangers must stand
by each other therefore,

give me your hands on that.

Put your hands off.

Today we have missed a day's work,

and tomorrow we must begin very early.

You must find a sleigh
for taking me to the Castle!

Yes, Sir!

This is impossible.

One cannot get into the castle
without a special permission.

Then, telephone them!

Yes, Sir!

Is this the office?

Is this the office?

Can Land Surveyor with two assistants
come to the castle tomorrow?

Neither tomorrow nor at any other time.

- A messenger for you.
- Go away.

Office`s here. Who`s speaking?

The Land Surveyor's assistant speaking.

What assistant?

Joseph.

The assistants are called
Arthur and Jeremiagh.

They are the new assistants,
but I'm the old one.

I came today after Mr. Land Surveyor.

What is it you want, Joseph?

When can my master
come to the castle?

Never.

Very well.

Who are you?

I am Barnabas, a messenger

My dear Mr. Land Surveyor.

As you know you have been engaged
for the count's service.

Your superior is the superintendent
of the village,

who will give you
all details about your task.

Barnabas, the bearer or this letter,

Me.

Will learn your wishes and
communicate them to me.

You will find me always
ready to help you.

Chief of count's office...

Who's signature is this?

Mr. Klamm's.

Beer for messenger!

Well, tell Mr. Klamm
I really appreciate his kindness.

I shall follow his instructions faithfully.

I have no particular requests to make.

May I repeat that?

Of course.

Well, tell Mr. Klamm
I really appreciate his kindness.

I shall follow his instructions faithfully.

I have no particular requests to make.

What was that?

It is an ancient custom
of the village, Sir.

Your room is ready.

My room?

Bring me some paper and a quill.

- We'll discuss our plans.
- Yes, Sir

Barnabas!

Barnabas!

Mr. Land Surveyor!

It`s here.

We have come, Sir.

Have we?

Watch your step, Sir.

Where are we?

At home.

Here are my sisters - Olga, Amalia.

And this is Mr. Land Surveyor.

Land Surveyor!

Barnabas, you left the inn
to go to the castle.

No. I left it to come home.

I go to the castle in the morning.

Please make yourself at home.
I'll fetch you some beer.

So you will accompany me to the inn.

No, I am going to the another inn.
"The Herrenhof".

Wonderful. I'll go with you.

Sir, if that`s your wish...

but they will not let you in.

It's all right. I`ll wait outside.

Land Surveyor mustn't go anywhere
but into the bar.

Yes, we know.
Let`s go.

As far as I understand
you are the landlord.

That is correct.

- I`d like to spend the night here.
- I'm afraid that is impossible.

This inn is designed only
for the guests from the castle.

I'd like to point out,

I have some influence in the castle,

and shall have still more...

So...

I`d be glad to oblige you
but the gentlemen are so sensitive.

They shouldn't bear
the sight of a stranger.

Are there many gentlemen
staying tonight?

Tonight is favorable.
There is only Klamm.

Klamm!

Frieda! Beer, please.

Do you know Klamm?

Would you like to see Mr. Klamm?

What?

There is a peephole there,
you can look through.

Frieda, do you know Klamm well?

Yes, very well.

I am Mr. Klamm's mistress

Mistress!

- You`re a very important person for me.
- Not only for you.

But I began as a byre-maid at the inn.

With those delicate hands...

Nobody bothered about them then.

Frieda!

It's a sign of great strength of mind

to have worked your way up

from byre-maid to this position.

And you`re not likely to open
yourself to a stranger

who does not have a chance
to introduce himself.

I know all about you.
You are the Land Surveyor.

- Dirty pigs.
- Who are they?

Klamm's messengers.
I’ve asked him not to bring them here.

- Can’t he hear them then?
- He is asleep.

- But when I peeped in...
- He was asleep.

The gentlemen do sleep a great deal.

Get out of here! Out!

Where is Land Surveyor?

Frieda!

Do you need something?

I look for the Land Surveyor.

He is not there.

- But he is not here.
- He must have gone out long ago.

I was at the entrance and
I haven't seen him.

Perhaps he’s hidden somewhere?

He's capable of a good deal.

Perhaps he's hidden underneath here?

No, he is not there.

Anyway you are in charge of the bar, Frieda

and the rules of the house applies to you.

Land Surveyor.

Frieda!

Frieda!

Take it.

I'm here with the Land Surveyor!

With the Land Surveyor!

Clear out of here!

Out!

- We worried about you, Sir.
- Brought a coat for you.

Get out!

What are you looking for?

You`ve broken the rule.

Damn all your rules.

Leave the house!

I’ll just pack!

Everything is already packed.

So we can go!

I knew from the very beginning
that you can`t be trusted.

Give my regards to the castellan.

Your room waits for you.

Get the assistants out.

We could stay here.

We’ll be right behind the door.

I've been waiting a long time.

But it seems to me
I didn't send for you.

Frieda is my adopted daughter
and I care about her.

She has lost her job and high
position of Klamm's mistress.

And now I would like to know
your plans concerning her.

My plans are very simple.

I am ready to marry her

after I have a word with Klamm.

With whom?

With whom?

Get the sleigh ready. We`re going
to the superintendent.

Who do you think you are
even to imagine Klamm talking with you?

You are a nobody.

I am the Land Surveyor.

And move my assistants somewhere.
I’m tired of them.

Land Surveyor?

You must be grateful that
I have let you in here.

No one in the village will let you
in the dog cabin.

Quite possible.

But there is a place where
I'd be mostly welcomed.

Where?

At Barnabas'.

At Barnabas'?

Those dirty beggars!

You liked his whores!

And you want to talk to decent
people after that?

It's a very good idea to come to me.

But unfortunately

we have no need of a Land Surveyor.

What do you mean?

There wouldn't be
the least use for one here.

Hey, lads!

Where did I tell you to wait?

It’s cold out here, Sir.

Let them warm themselves a little.

These are my assistants...

So, it's just a misunderstanding.

Many years ago a request
came from the castle

they asked if we needed
a Land Surveyor.

Hey, lads, there is a file
with the title "Land Surveyor".

Bring it to me.

Of course I said "No".

And everything could have been
settled in a few days

if it was not that Brunswick.

- Brunswick?
- Exactly.

He confused everything.

He began to write letters
to the castle.

Trying to prove that we really
needed a Land Surveyor.

So the matter dragged on for years.

And he succeeded only because

his wife serves in the castle.

A beautiful rather pale woman?

Possible.

Ah, that was his wife!

No,

Mizzi, here is minor.

Hey, lads, have you found it.

No, we have not!

But you have given it to the teacher.

You are right.

I've given it to the teacher.

Hey, lads

- put the stuff back.
- Yes!

Well, finally I won.

At last they decided
not to call a Land Surveyor.

And after the fortunate end
of the whole business

suddenly you appeared.

- What a trouble.
- Yes, that is right.

But it happened

and I would like us to be -

I won’t say the best friends -

but the partners.

The only thing I will not agree to

is that you should be taken
on as Land Surveyor.

I'm sorry

but I am already taken.

Very interesting...

Very interesting!

"School Caretaker"

Yes... this is really Klamm's signature.

You don't say.

Yes.

This is not an official document,

but a private letter addressed
to "Mr. Land Surveyor".

There isn't a single word in it

showing that you've been taken on
as Land Surveyor.

It's all about count's
service in general.

So...

So everything is very uncertain.

Except my being thrown out.

Done!
No!

On the contrary.

The very uncertainty

guarantees you

the most courteous treatment.

Nobody keeps you here,

but no one means to
throw you out.

Mizzi! You are of tune.
It's fa sharp!

Enough!

I'll tell you what keeps me here:

The sacrifice I made
leaving my home,

the hopes I built on my
engagement here,

and my fiancée for whom I am
now responsible.

Calm down.

I'll report the castle
about everything.

And may be together

we'll work out the decision.

I don't want

any favor from the castle,

but my rights!

- Let me say goodbye...
- Of course.

I have to pay a very important visit.

I need my best clothes.

Clean it thoroughly.

I've come here with a mission.

Oh, Mr. Teacher.

You are still here?

I'm sorry,

but I have to pay an important visit.

Don't worry.

I just have to tell you

that Mr. Superintendent,

a very kind person,

is afraid

that if the decision in your case
takes too long,

you might do something rash

on your own account.

So he offers you the job
of school caretaker.

So he asks me for a favor.

On the contrary.
He does you a favor

because we need a caretaker not more
than a Land Surveyor.

Tell

Mr. Superintendent

that I shall not accept the job.

So you decline quite unconditionally.

Frieda!

Excellent.

Frida!

Where is my shirt?

My dear Land Surveyor listen to me.

Why don't you

accept such a generous offer?

We'll have a job and
a place to live in at once.

I am the Land Surveyor

but not the school janitor.

And I don’t want to be humiliated

by any teacher

who dreams to become my superior.

The quality of clothes is becoming worse.

Mrs. Brunswick!

Well...

I was just going to say

that I accept the job.

Do you know where I am going?

I'll wait for you in the school.

But...

promise to me that
you will not visit them.

Who?

Those filthy Barnabas sluts.

Stop the assistants.

And you?

Me?

This is Land Surveyor.

Three to room seven!

I’m Pepi.

You have a bathhouse here?

Yes, the clerks like to go
to the bath with maids.

Frieda also used to go with them.

Frieda?

Do you think she is
something different?

There was a peephole before.

They walled it up after Frieda left.

But why do you ask?

Frieda forgot there a thing.

I`d like to look for it.

What`s a thing?

A present from Klamm.

If I knew that nobody
was in there,

we would have a look.

But we can`t be sure

because Klamm is often there.

He is not there now.

Are you sure?

He is leaving now.
The sledge is waiting for him.

It might be a long time yet.

- What are you talking about?
- Before you go away.

Would you like some brandy?

Yes.

Open the door.

There are some bottles
in the side pocket.

Mr. Land Surveyor!

Come with me!

I'm waiting here for somebody.

Come!

But then I would miss the man!

You'll miss him in any case,
weather you go or stay.

Then I would rather
wait for him here.

Unharness the horses.

Ah, Land Surveyor at last.

So Klamm has gone.

Of course

as soon as you gave up
your sentry go.

So, shall we start?

I'm Momus, the village secretary.

I would like you
to answer a few questions.

What is that: Village secretary?

Mr. Momus is Mr. Klamm`s deputy.

He receives any petitions to Klamm
which may be sent by the village.

The post of a secretary is very important.

Excellent.

My congratulations.

But now I must be going home.

Of course.

The school work calls.

But you must answer
a few short questions.

I`m not in the mood for it.

On behalf of Klamm,
I command you!

Will I be allowed to see Klamm

if I answer your questions?

No, that doesn't follow at all.

Good night.

He's going after all.

He won't dare.

Schwarzer,

I know that you are not
the castellan`s son,

- Won't they interrogate you?
- No.

I refused.

- Do you consider it important?
- Yes.

I shouldn't have refused?

No.

What do you want?

Frieda worried about you

and sent us to meet you.

"Meet your master,
maybe he lost his way" -

that's what she said.

Mr. Land Surveyor!

Barnabas!

- Have you come to see me?
- Yes.

I have a letter from Mr. Klamm.

"The surveying work which
you have carried out thus far

has been appreciated by me.

The work of your assistants,
too, deserves praise.

Do not relax,

any interruption would displease me.
Don`t worry for the rest.

I shall not forget you. Klamm."

- Hooray!
- Hooray!

There's been a misunderstanding.

I haven't done any surveying at all
so no interruption is possible.

I'll see to it.

And I'll certainly see to the message
you gave me last time as well.

- Haven't you been to the castle?
- No.

I helped my father.
He makes music cylinders for Brunswick.

To hell with your cylinders!

Klamm waits in the castle
for a message from me

- And you make your damned cylinders!
- Cylinders!

Get out of here, now.

Don't be angry with me, Sir.

Alright.

Can you deliver my message tomorrow
and bring me the answer?

Certainly, Sir.

This is the message:

The Land Surveyor begs Mr. Director

to meet him in person.

He accepts any conditions of the meeting.

He needs to inform Mr. Klamm that
no surveying has been carried out yet.

This is the fault of the superintendent
and Mr. Momus.

And tell him about us.

The Land Surveyor will do his best

not to disturb the director.

He is looking forward for the answer.
Repeat it.

- The Land Surveyor begs Mr. Director...
- Alright.

Can I do anything for you?

My sisters send you their greetings.

It was Olga who brought me
this letter from the Castle.

Couldn't she take my message?

No... She is not allowed into the office.

I'll visit your place tomorrow,

but first you`ll bring the answer.

I'll wait for you in the school.

Give my greetings to your sisters.

How was it?

What?

Why is it so cold here?

It was rather warm

but I've already run out of firewood.

How can it be?

The teacher has locked the wood-shed.

He said that the stove is to be heated
only during the lessons.

Ah, during the lessons!

Hey, you two!

Come here!

Find an axe!

- It's enough.
- Yes, Sir!

What are you doing?

Frieda!

Did you use to go to the bath
with the clerks?

Yes.

Yes, it was part of my duties.

And your behavior now
is also part of your duties?

No, darling, it means nothing.

Nothing!

The castle has sent two spies to me.

They follow me day and night
and it means nothing for you?

Behave yourself, Frida!

You are their superior.

But you`ve never scolded them.

All this makes me think

that you are on their side

against me!

Be quiet.

Good morning Mr. Land Surveyor.

Hi.

Who has dared to break
into the woodshed?

I did it, Mr. Teacher.

I had to heat the classroom
in the morning

so I needed to open the door.

I didn't dare to wake you in
the middle of the night.

I've been scolded already by my fiancé.

Who broke open the door?

This gentleman.

Our assistants got everything wrong!

It was me who broke the door.

The assistants were not there.

But they saw

how my fiancé tried
to put it right

- And decided that...
- So, you've been lying?

Then I'll flog you.

Stop!

They have told the truth.

So it was Mr. Caretaker!

Who allows other people
to be accused for his misbehavior.

If my assistants had been flogged

I shouldn't have been sorry.

Well...

You are dismissed so clear yourself
and your belongings out of here.

I shan't move a foot from here.

It was the superintendent
who engaged me

and he'll be the one
to dismiss me.

Excellent.

You know

it was a great mistake

that you refused
to be interrogated.

Clear out!

You are fired!

And don't ever show
your disgusting faces again!

I`ve fired them.

- Let us back to you, Sir!
- Forgive us, Sir!

How could you?

How could you betray me,
your fiancé,

for these bastards?

What are they mean to you?

Forgive me!

Forgive me, please.

Let's go somewhere

where there are no castle, no Klamm, no
assistants, only you and me...

Where?

I can't go away,

I came here to stay...

Barnabas!

- What do you want here?
- Maybe I can help you?

- How?
- I don't know.

One more assistant.

Come here.

What's your name?

Hans.

What do you want to be, Hans?

I want to be like Mr. Land Surveyor.

A land surveyor?

No.

A caretaker?

No, I want to be like Mr. Land Surveyor.

And what does your father do?

He makes cylinders
for music machines.

They are the best.

Even in the castle they listen
to his cylinders.

So, your name is Brunswick!

I saw you standing near
the window with your mother!

Yes.

Yesterday I was in the bar
with my father

and saw how you refused
to be interrogated.

And how is Mrs. Brunswick?

She`s fine.

She has already asked
twice about you.

Listen, Hans,

you wanted to help,

but you are a little boy
and cannot help me.

But your mother can.

I know.

When my father has difficulties,
he asks her to help

and she goes to the castle.

I need to speak with your mother.

No,

you must not disturb her.

My father will never allow you.

He'll never know.

But this is dishonest.

No. We won't do anything dishonest.

You'll just tell your mother
that I want to speak with her

and then tell me
when your father is out.

And I will teach you
to fight with sticks.

- Will you?
- Yes.

- Will you want me to give you a glass button?
- Yes.

I'll wait for you in the evening.

But don't say anything to your father.

- Do you have fighting sticks?
- I'll make them.

And what's your mother's name?

Milena Brunswick!

I think I'll go for a walk.

But you won`t go to see them, will you?

To see them? Ah, no.
Barnabas has to come in a minute.

I'll just have some fresh air.

Hasn't Barnabas come back?

Go to bed, Mom.
His is the Land Surveyor

- Hasn't Barnabas come back yet?
- No.

Sit down.

Olga will be in in a minute.
She is in the bath closet.

My fiancée is waiting for me
in the school.

I really must go.

I see…

Good evening, Mr. Land Surveyor.

Please, make yourself at home.

The Land Surveyor is in a hurry.

Yes. My fiancée is waiting for me.

I've just come

to see if Barnabas is back.

You better call on our place some day.

Thank you. We'll come tomorrow.

You know...

I've invited you...

a little hastily and...

have to cancel the invitation

because there is some kind of hostility
between you and Frieda.

Hostility?

Absolutely no hostility.

Amalia simply refused to
become a mistress of Vallabene.

Vallabene?

Vallabene.

He is even more important
person than Klamm.

Didn't Frieda tell you?

No.

This happened three years ago

when Frieda was engaged to the bar.

Our father was one of the most
respected people in the village.

He produced music cylinders
for the Castle

when Brunswick was only
his apprentice.

As his daughters we simply ignored
people like Frida.

Landlady was very proud of being
a friend of ours.

And once...

she presented Amalia
with the necklace of garnets

that made Amalia so pretty.

Here it is.

Vallabene hardly ever
came to the village

but on that fatal day he saw Amalia
from the carriage.

Next day a messenger
delivered a letter

addressed to a girl
with the garnet necklace.

The letter was vile.

Vallabene wanted Amalia to come
immediately to "The Herrenhof"

to indulge in debauchery.

Amalia tore the letter and
threw the fragments to the messenger.

Frieda found out about it at once

and spread the news

having embellished the story
not in Amalias favor.

- What for?
- For spite.

Her affair with Klamm started
exactly the same way

only it finished differently.

Don't dare to talk about
my fiancée like that!

She loved Klamm.

I am really sorry.
I didn't mean to offend your fiancée.

- Is that all?
- No.

The next day Brunswick came

and said that he was going
to start his own business.

Since that time all the orders were
addressed directly to him.

The father stopped working.

He asked Vallabene to meet him

but without an answer.

Very soon Brunswick moved to our house

and we moved to his.

So this is the house of Brunswick.

We got despised.

People`ve called us "Barnabas` sluts".

We've been trying to earn
people's respect back for years.

Yesterday Brunswick said
that he could help us.

I always knew that his wife had very
strong contacts with the castle.

Barnabas?

No, that's after you.

In the name of Klamm!

Mr. Momus!

Mr. Momus!

Barnabas?

No. This is your assistant.

Tell him I`m not here!

Is here another exit?

This way.

But you`ll have to get
over the fence.

What are you looking for?

You.

Who are you?

Jeremiagh.

Your former assistant.

Why former?

We are no longer serving you.

I`m a servant in the inn now.

And Arthur?

You offended him.

You don`t understand any jokes.

But what are you doing here?

Frida asked me.

She`s left you and in a doubt now:

Maybe you were not with
Barnabas' whores after all.

I was not!

- I`ve just come to see Barnabas.
- I see.

You shouldn`t come over the fence.

Listen, Jeremiagh,

since you are no longer my servant
we can be friends.

You think so?

Let`s talk.

I can't. Frieda waits for me.

I can go with you.

Mr. Land Surveyor!

Mr. Land Surveyor. It's done.

Barnabas!

You've reported my request to Klamm?

No, but I talked to Mr. Erlanger.

- Who’s that?
- Klamm`s assistant.

He's sent me to tell you that you have
to come to "The Herrenhof" immediately.

He wants to tell you
something very important

What are doing?

I'm the Land Surveyor.
Erlanger is waiting for me.

They will call you.

Gerstacker!

You're still here?

- I've come here for good.
- I`m a servant here.

Land Surveyor!

And this Erlanger...
is he an important person?

This meeting is very important
for your future.

But why do you refuse
to be interrogated?

This is the special portable bath

designed for the gentlemen
from the castle.

We've got to wait.

Hello.

Gunter to room eight.

To room eight.

Frieda!

Frieda! Here I've found you at last.

Well, it was not easy to do
in this labyrinth.

Why have you left your whores?

You prefer them to me.

But I was looking for you in the bar.

Yes, I had a word put in for me,

and the Landlord himself asked me

to return to the bar.
But Pepi begged me to let her

not to leave the bar at once.

That's all for the best...

but why are you back now
when we're soon to be married?

There will be no marriage.

You...

You've dishonored me.

You know,
I didn't eat anything today.

Do you have something?

I loved you so much.

Frieda!

Stay here.

So...

So, you don't believe me -
your fiancé,

but you believe the mean lies
of my assistant -

a spy from the castle who...

It was no lie.

I've told her the truth.

You can eat.

Feel free...

this is my dinner,

but I'll share it with
my former master.

Land Surveyor!

Land Surveyor!

Hurry up!

You should've come earlier.

Lie down.

Kiele to room five.

Lie down.

So, let`s start.

Certain Frieda worked in the bar
not a long time ago.

Her resignation
caused certain discomfort.

According to some reliable information

the Land Surveyor - so to say you -

now live with
the above-mentioned person.

So you have to provide
her immediate return to the bar.

As far as I am concerned

I can say that

for your future career
of a Land Surveyor

it will be very useful.
That`s all.

Dismissed.

Mr. Erlanger!

There is some misunderstanding

Herr Klamm has been
wrongly informed...

no surveying is...

Regarding the surveying
follow the usual procedure.

Tree to room five.

Coachman!

It happened because of you,
Mr. Land Surveyor

now Frieda is returning to the bar

and I’ve been fired
the same as you were.

But I still have my small room

when you have nowhere to go.

You don't believe me but...

when the superintendent found out
that you`d not let Mr. Momus in,

He dismissed you from
the post of school caretaker.

What?

I heard this myself.

Brunswick!

Mr. Land Surveyor.

Is your mother at home?

Mr. Land Surveyor!
Please don’t!

Mrs. Brunswick!

Milena!

I...

I love you.
I've fallen in love at first sight.

I've been charmed by your beauty.

Your curves are perfection itself.
Like the Castle`s.

I knew immediately
that you were from there.

You know, I draw myself.
I even dreamed to become a painter...

Only because of you I gave up my job
and became a caretaker.

Don't push me away.
I'll do anything for you.

We'll live in the castle...
Here I have two letters from Klamm.

You can't waste your life
among those stupid cylinders...

So, let's start.

Are you ready to answer a few
simple questions?

Splendid!

Question number one:

What do you think this is?

A rabbit?

Good.

But what is this?

A whistle?
Well...

And this?

A ring?

Well I think it's enough.

Maybe you'll ask some more?

Was not that a ring?

Ah, Land Surveyor!

I've found you at last.

Brunswick.

Nice to meet you.

But we've met before.

Let's go out of here.

Let's be honest.

I know why you are here.

You've come to see my wife?

Do you love her?

I do.

As a man I understand you.

So I offer you a deal:

You become Brunswick and
I become Land Surveyor.

What?

You become Brunswick -

a husband of Milena Brunswick,

a father of Hans,

one of the richest men in the village

and I become a poor, homeless

and lonely Land Surveyor.

So?

What do you mean?

It's so simple.

We only have to obtain the
permission of Mr. Vallabene.

- Vallabene?
- Of course.

Shall we go?

Where?

To Vallabene!

To the castle?

Certainly. So agreed?

Yes.

This is not the Castle.

Why not? It's a real castle.

Mr. Vallabene has built it
for hunting.

Let`s go.

- Who are you
- Mr. Vallabene, I'm Amalia.

The girl with a garnet necklace who you
had fallen in love with three years ago.

All these years

I've been dreaming to tell you

that I’m ready to do everything
you asked me to in that letter.

You've mixed something up,

but you will serve at the dinner.

And who are you?

Me?

I'm Brunswick.

- He doesn't know you.
- He doesn't know me

but he knows my wife -
Milena Brunswick.

It's possible.
But he can`t remember her.

What do you want?

I'd like to become the Land Surveyor.

And what about the Land Surveyor?
Does he agree?

Yes we've agreed upon everything.

Alright.

Mr. Vallabene congratulates you.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Let me in!

Let me in!

- And who's there?
- It's Brunswick.

- Let me in!
- What does he want?

I don't know.

Let him in.
Mr. Vallabene wants to look at him.

Let me in!

Mr. Vallabene, let me in!

So?

Where is he?

Where is he?

Mr. Va...

Mr. Vallabene!
They all deceive you.

Mr. Klamm, he is my superior.

Here are two letters from him,
he is deceived.

No surveying is being carried out.

I haven't even been taken on
as Land Surveyor.

They are deceiving you.

That girl that has just been here
said that she was Amalia.

But she is Olga.

I know her.

She has just put on the garnet necklace.

And Brunswick is lying to you.
He's told you

that I agree to become Brunswick.
But I don't.

I am the Land Surveyor.

I was invited to the castle
as the Land Surveyor

- And I demand my rights...
- Who is Brunswick?

Me?

You may stop. He`s left.

Who's left: Vallabene?

Where?

Hunting.

This is impossible!

Possible, Mr. Brunswick.

I tell you I am not Brunswick.
I'm Land Surveyor.

That`s done.

Now I am Land Surveyor.

Arthur! Tell him

that I'm Land Surveyor.

You were my assistant,
weren't you?

Those were good old times
when I assisted the Land Surveyor.

I am the Land Surveyor!

I am the Land Surveyor!

Barnabas!

Where are you going?

I have a letter for Mr. Land Surveyor.

Barnabas, it's me!

We are moving to your house. My
sister`s become Mr. Vallabene`s mistress.

What do you want?

- I want to see Frieda.
- She is with Klamm.

And Pepi?

Brunswick!

I've been looking for you all night.

Brunswick?

Milena, it's me.

It's you.

I've been waiting for you.

I wanted to tell you long before

but hesitated...

Well I love Land Surveyor.

Milena, but it's me. Milena...

Please, don't.

We have agreed on everything
he loves me too.

I hope that you’ll take care
of your father.

And put on a coat.
It's so cold outside.

How long am I supposed to wait?

Just a moment.

Barnabas, read this once again.

Taking into consideration

his hard work

Mr. Land Surveyor is allowed

to listen to any music,

including music brought by him.

Have you made
the fighting sticks?

Sticks?

You've promised to teach me
to fight with sticks.

Don't you remember?

And promised to give me
a glass button.

Who? Me?
