00:00:10 Police. Open up.
00:00:16 Open up. Police!
00:00:25 Good evening.
00:00:28 We apologize for visiting so late.
00:00:32 We'd like to ask if you have seen a
00:00:36 Who?
00:00:38 She has a boy aged nine or ten.
00:00:42 and we happened to see one
00:00:44 Sorry. We don't know of such people.
00:00:47 Really? How strange.
00:00:49 It's funny, as a neighbour told us
00:00:53 - There must be some misunderstanding.
00:00:58 - They must've been thinking of another house.
00:01:00 Well if that's the case, you wouldn't mind
00:01:03 - OK.
00:01:43 I lost my dear,
00:01:48 Come home, my dear.
00:02:33 Good afternoon.
00:02:36 Good afternoon, Uncle István.
00:02:59 Katalin! Katalin!
00:03:12 Zsigmond knows.
00:03:19 - You're the only person I told.
00:03:21 - My mother overheard us talking.
00:03:25 I don't know...
00:03:42 Hello.
00:04:01 You're not going to say anything?
00:04:06 You first.
00:04:18 Orbán knows too?
00:04:22 Is that all you can say?
00:04:36 I was going to tell you.
00:04:39 When?
00:04:43 In another ten years?
00:04:46 Twenty? Thirty?
00:04:51 Zsigmond...
00:04:53 This village will know me
00:04:56 as the husband of a whore.
00:05:00 - My God, you've shamed me.
00:05:08 But you told everyone else!
00:05:10 I told one person.
00:05:14 I had to tell someone.
00:05:26 Why didn't you tell me?
00:05:30 I didn't want to lose you.
00:05:37 You can take that bastard son of yours
00:05:40 But you love Orbán.
00:05:59 Orbán!
00:06:52 Why the funny stare?
00:07:00 You said you'd never come and
00:07:05 This is an emergency.
00:07:13 - Nobody has said anything to you?
00:07:19 We have to go to your grandmother's.
00:07:23 She's very ill.
00:07:26 This might be our last chance to see her.
00:07:29 Why can't she come here?
00:07:32 She's too old, my boy.
00:07:35 - Is papa coming with us?
00:07:38 Why not?
00:07:41 He has to work here.
00:07:43 And he needs me to help him.
00:07:45 No he doesn't.
00:07:50 Your grandmother needs to see us.
00:07:52 That's her only wish.
00:07:55 We're going now.
00:07:57 Now to Székelypatak?
00:08:00 Now, yes.
00:08:09 - Can't we wait a little longer?
00:08:12 We have to leave before it gets dark.
00:08:14 - But what about papa?
00:08:17 I told you he sends a big kiss.
00:08:20 But I want to see him.
00:08:24 I do too, Orbán.
00:10:07 This is the right road for Jádszereda?
00:10:11 Jádszereda? Why in hell
00:10:15 Just tell me. Is this the road or not?
00:10:18 This is the road. Though if you had
00:10:23 So this is the road, then?
00:10:24 Yes, but it's far from here
00:10:28 OK, good. Thank you.
00:10:31 Don't think of it. Never thank anyone
00:11:26 I can't believe you allowed two
00:11:29 - If it was a man at the door...
00:12:15 When can we call papa?
00:12:18 I told you there's no signal here.
00:12:23 But tomorrow, okay?
00:12:33 Zsigmond?
00:12:47 Zsuzsa!
00:12:50 I know, I know... it's okay,
00:12:54 Look, I don't know what to do,
00:12:58 I don't know.
00:13:01 I tried. Believe me.
00:13:10 Even if he'll have me back,
00:13:12 otherwise Orbán will find out.
00:13:14 I can't take the risk.
00:13:18 After this, I don't see the harm in lying,
00:13:21 as long as it keeps us together.
00:13:25 He's fine. He misses Zsigmond.
00:13:32 I can't think about that now.
00:13:35 There's only one clear thing
00:13:38 I need to pay some men a surprise visit.
00:15:25 Are you sleeping shepherd?
00:15:31 I'm not even dozing.
00:15:34 Were the wolves here?
00:15:39 Not even the angels.
00:15:43 Did the dogs bark?
00:15:48 They didn't even laugh.
00:16:03 - How much further do we have to go?
00:16:09 Grandmother will be well again?
00:16:11 I hope so, yes.
00:16:14 - What if we don't get to her in time?
00:16:39 We're very near, my love.
00:16:43 We're very near.
00:16:53 So God help us.
00:17:11 Where are we?
00:17:13 Jádszereda.
00:17:20 We don't know when we'll find
00:17:28 It's better to stay here.
00:17:38 Are you sleeping shepherd?
00:17:44 Were the wolves here?
00:17:51 Did the dogs bark?
00:18:29 You can't expect a woman
00:18:32 Why not?
00:18:33 Two strangers show up and I have to
00:18:36 It will be fine for us.
00:18:41 - You said just one night.
00:18:44 You're the one who keeps saying
00:18:49 You should get yourself a car, Madam.
00:18:52 - And what shall I do with my horse?
00:18:56 I'll take care of it.
00:20:08 Orbán! Come back here!
00:20:46 Our Mother, Virgin Mary,
00:20:51 Pray for us, for we have sinned.
00:20:55 Now and in the hour of our passing.
00:21:05 Amen.
00:24:43 You know, you look familiar.
00:24:50 Really? Have you been to Visrek before?
00:24:53 No.
00:24:56 But you've been here before?
00:24:59 No. First time.
00:25:23 The wife?
00:25:27 She can wait.
00:25:33 I've got more important things
00:25:36 Is that so?
00:25:44 You women play innocent so convincingly.
00:25:49 Sorry?
00:25:57 Listen. You're a pretty girl
00:26:03 I've only got so long before my wife will
00:26:06 So if you'll pardon me please, I don't
00:26:10 or whatever nonsense you females
00:26:14 I'm not here to get to know someone...
00:26:17 I'll never see again.
00:26:21 You know why I've asked you
00:26:30 Now if you're going to waste
00:26:36 I suggest you join someone else.
00:26:43 If you look around, I'm sure you'll find
00:27:03 All right, so maybe you don't
00:27:10 How about introducing yourself?
00:27:21 Gergely.
00:27:27 Katalin.
00:27:58 Close your eyes.
00:28:10 I'm surprised you don't remember me.
00:28:57 I'm not the one you want.
00:29:01 Exactly. You didn't do anything.
00:29:04 You just stood there and laughed
00:29:06 while your friend did
00:29:11 Antal's the one you're after.
00:29:14 - He's moved to Zálnokhely.
00:29:18 My children...
00:29:20 I love them. I never told them.
00:29:29 Mercy on me.
00:30:43 - Where were you?
00:30:48 You mean, an all-night stroll.
00:30:52 You never came back
00:30:54 What business is it of yours?
00:31:01 That Gergely is a bad seed.
00:31:04 He makes a mockery of his wife
00:31:07 I don't know what you're talking about.
00:31:10 Everyone saw you two
00:31:14 Even the whores of this village
00:31:18 I have a husband.
00:31:22 I'm sure your friend,
00:31:35 I know your type.
00:31:38 You know every type, don't you?
00:31:45 You're up to no good, Madam.
00:31:49 My son and I are just
00:31:54 This village has its eyes on you.
00:31:59 Orbán?
00:34:28 Are you awake?
00:34:30 Sorry?
00:34:32 What's wrong?
00:34:36 Nothing.
00:34:37 You said nothing at the table.
00:34:42 No.
00:34:44 - Did someone laugh at you?
00:34:52 I just miss my husband, that's all.
00:34:55 You mean, papa?
00:34:59 Why didn't you call him 'papa' just now?
00:37:00 Police. Open up.
00:37:06 Open up. Police!
00:37:17 Good evening.
00:37:20 We apologize for visiting so late.
00:37:23 We'd like to ask if you have seen a
00:37:27 Who?
00:37:29 She has a boy aged nine or ten.
00:37:43 I thought you said you had no children?
00:38:05 Stop! Stop!
00:38:09 I swear to God, I don't know
00:38:12 So they did stay with you then?
00:38:24 Why did you lie to me?
00:38:27 Look at me. Why did you lie?
00:38:31 - No sign of them.
00:38:38 Still no ideas?
00:41:14 Why were those men after you?
00:41:28 Why are we really here?
00:41:37 If you don't want to tell me
00:41:39 why couldn't you have left me at home?
00:41:49 - Why did you drag me here?
00:41:52 She's not ill! I want to go home.
00:42:08 You didn't tell me
00:43:19 Zsigmond!
00:43:22 I'm so happy to hear your voice.
00:43:27 He's fine, yes. He's playing outside.
00:43:32 I want to come back,
00:43:35 no matter what.
00:43:37 That's all I know.
00:43:39 Soon.
00:43:43 Soon.
00:43:45 I can't talk about that, Zsigmond.
00:43:48 I'll tell you when I get back.
00:43:54 I just wanted to know
00:43:57 whether we can talk.
00:44:00 Not now. When I see you, okay?
00:44:04 I don't know how, but...
00:44:07 I know we can make things work again.
00:44:12 All three of us.
00:45:12 - Who's that man?
00:45:15 - He's looking at you.
00:45:35 - Good afternoon.
00:45:38 Is there something I can do for you?
00:45:41 Yes.
00:45:43 We were wondering if you know of any
00:45:48 I'm afraid I don't,
00:45:50 I'm sure you'd find something.
00:45:58 Or if you can wait,
00:46:00 I can ask my wife. If it's okay
00:46:05 - Just for one night?
00:46:08 - Where are you from?
00:46:10 - She's joking.
00:46:14 I'm from Jádszereda, the next village.
00:46:18 Really?
00:46:25 I'm Katalin Varga.
00:46:30 Antal Borlán.
00:46:35 Szello, come!
00:46:49 Szello, come to drink!
00:47:11 So tell me once more
00:47:14 Visrek.
00:47:16 So why did your mother say,
00:47:19 I don't know.
00:47:53 I think your son has found a new friend.
00:47:58 - You don't have children?
00:48:04 Antal's such a good man
00:48:09 However, we're cursed and we know it.
00:48:15 One of us must have been a sinner.
00:48:18 I don't know.
00:48:20 I can't imagine it being you.
00:48:23 I can't imagine it being Antal either.
00:48:27 Who knows?
00:48:32 Just pray for us, Katalin
00:48:35 and we'll do the same for you
00:48:38 I think you have enough to pray for
00:48:42 That's enough! He doesn't like
00:48:44 Sorry, I didn't know.
00:48:50 How do you know what I like?
00:48:52 It's not good to be swung
00:48:54 I beg your pardon, Madam.
00:48:57 - You always ruin my fun.
00:49:00 - She never lets me do what I like.
00:49:04 Come on, Orbán. Your mother
00:49:06 Right. Let's play something else.
00:49:23 Are you still not speaking to me?
00:49:38 You don't like that man.
00:49:42 So, obviously, you do as I see.
00:49:49 He's a good man.
00:49:51 You've only just met him.
00:49:53 So have you.
00:50:21 How many years
00:50:23 Seven.
00:50:28 You seem very happy together.
00:50:30 I couldn't ask for a better husband.
00:50:33 He's everything I could want.
00:50:36 Kind,
00:50:39 considerate, strong,
00:50:44 and still handsome.
00:50:49 You're very lucky to have your son.
00:50:53 - He's a very sweet boy.
00:50:57 He must miss his father a lot.
00:51:01 He misses my husband, yes.
00:51:04 Orbán doesn't know who
00:51:09 Orbán's real father raped me.
00:51:14 My God.
00:51:16 Don't be so sorry for me.
00:51:19 Was he caught?
00:51:20 No. I couldn't say anything to
00:51:25 - I had to live with the secret.
00:51:32 Yes.
00:51:38 It was all so sudden.
00:51:41 I was hitchhiking and
00:51:44 They seemed friendly enough
00:51:46 and it never occurred
00:51:51 When the car went further and
00:51:54 my stomach jumped.
00:52:00 I tried to reassure myself.
00:52:02 When they stopped at a glade,
00:52:06 I asked them what they were doing.
00:52:09 And then I knew I was in trouble.
00:52:16 I wanted to get out of the car.
00:52:18 When I tried, one of the men grabbed
00:52:22 I fought back only to have my hair
00:52:26 Yet somehow I managed to flee.
00:52:29 I ran with what fear
00:52:31 they were by my side within seconds.
00:52:35 I began to cry and pleaded:
00:52:39 "I want to go home, I want to go home..."
00:52:43 They just laughed as they dragged
00:52:48 One of the men struck me
00:52:51 and I fell to the ground.
00:52:55 I struggled to free myself,
00:52:58 only my arms were pinned down with
00:53:04 I bit him
00:53:06 and he shoved my face
00:53:10 The stench of gasoline
00:53:19 Then came what I feared the most.
00:53:22 He ripped at my skirt,
00:53:27 so that he could penetrate me.
00:53:30 I was dry and the friction
00:53:33 The harder he was thrusting
00:53:36 So much pain.
00:53:43 The other man just stood there,
00:53:52 I turned my head away
00:53:57 Thinking that whatever
00:54:01 As soon as I stopped caring,
00:54:08 He got off my body
00:54:12 leaving me cold and in a shiver.
00:54:16 I was overcome by sickness
00:54:24 But they just strolled away
00:54:31 Come boys, let's go to the bar.
00:54:35 Fifteen lei for one litre of wine.
00:54:40 So play on gypsy,
00:54:42 I'll give you a thousand lei.
00:54:45 I want to have a good time today.
00:54:50 Play on gypsy,
00:54:53 I'll give you a thousand lei.
00:54:56 I want to have a good time tonight.
00:55:07 I remained still for hours, after.
00:55:10 Lying there in the silence,
00:55:14 waiting for the darkness to hide
00:55:22 A fawn of the forest came to my side
00:55:26 and that Jesus died
00:55:29 I asked the fawn,
00:55:36 He didn't answer
00:55:39 and just shed a tear for me.
00:55:41 A wise owl flew to me and slowly,
00:55:44 more creatures of the night
00:55:48 The rain started to fall,
00:55:50 washing away the blood and come.
00:55:54 The animals gathered
00:55:58 in their mouths, claws and beaks
00:56:02 to cover my naked body
00:56:06 and keep me warm for the night.
00:56:10 They announced that
00:56:12 the Lord is with me.
00:56:14 And upon this, they stood guard.
00:56:16 Eleven years on, they're still here
00:56:22 to make sure I never fall again.
00:56:26 If you look around carefully enough.
00:56:53 Your wife is asking why you
00:56:58 How did you find me?
00:57:02 Your food is getting cold, Sir.
00:57:10 Dinner's still warm.
00:58:00 Jesus Christ, allow yourself
00:58:03 Bless what you have given us. Amen.
00:58:34 I'm going to bed.
00:58:38 Don't stay long.
00:59:14 You're here to kill me?
00:59:19 Where's Orbán?
00:59:21 Sleeping.
00:59:23 - He's a lovely boy.
00:59:27 - He enjoys being with me.
00:59:34 Forgive me.
00:59:48 I killed your friend, Gergely.
01:00:03 So kill me. It's what I deserve.
01:00:08 How many others had the fortune
01:00:10 Nobody else.
01:00:12 So why me then?
01:00:14 What's done is done
01:00:16 and I have to live with that.
01:00:20 You know, the fact I was never punished
01:00:23 is punishment in itself.
01:00:26 If you wanted punishment,
01:00:30 Keep Etelka out of this.
01:00:34 It's not fair to drag her into this.
01:00:36 So I should play fair?
01:00:38 That's what you're asking?
01:00:45 You must've known that your past
01:00:52 Look on the bright side,
01:00:54 That's enough!
01:00:56 No. It's not enough.
01:01:00 My son is a constant reminder of you.
01:01:03 The forests are a reminder of you.
01:01:05 My husband's embraces
01:01:12 Orbán needs to know.
01:01:15 No. You need Orbán to know.
01:01:20 Because you're afraid you'll lose him?
01:01:25 Is that a question or an accusation?
01:01:28 I'm just saying we should do
01:01:31 So tell me, then.
01:01:43 First thing in the morning,
01:01:46 and your wife can carry on
01:01:52 Forgive me.
01:01:56 If you say that once more, I'll scream
01:02:05 My God, this is so different
01:02:11 I used to lie awake at night
01:02:14 how jubilant and bloody
01:02:21 And look at me now,
01:02:23 just sitting here, drinking with you.
01:02:31 What a disappointment.
01:06:20 Etelka!
01:10:11 Orbán.
01:10:16 Don't go. Not now.
01:10:22 - Don't take him away from me! I need him!
01:10:27 Your son deserves to know the truth.
01:10:34 You're afraid of losing him, aren't you?
01:10:38 You lied to me about grandmother.
01:10:44 Does papa know who this man is?
01:10:50 - Should I know who this man is?
01:10:53 It's not enough! Come on,
01:10:56 To hell with you.
01:10:58 To hell with both of you.
01:12:07 He probably thinks we were lovers.
01:12:51 He should be back by now.
01:13:12 Is that really necessary?
01:13:16 For the bears.
01:13:46 Orbán!
01:13:59 She's here... Zálnokhely, that's right...
01:14:02 Call when you get here!
01:14:12 Orbán!
01:15:15 Katalin!
01:15:36 Mama!
01:15:45 You really thought you'd get away?
01:15:50 You tried your best, at least.
01:15:57 So,
01:16:00 why did you do it?
01:16:03 You're not going to answer?
01:16:06 Tell me! Why did you do it?
01:16:24 You're a tough one, Madam.
01:16:27 Tough enough to survive even in hell,
01:16:33 May I remind you of
01:16:36 'Thou shalt not kill'. The Lord
01:16:39 And neither do the family
01:16:44 My sister is a widow, thanks to you.
01:16:47 She has to raise two poor children
01:16:52 Tell the children
01:16:55 How gracious of you.
01:16:59 All you need to know, Madam,
01:17:04 and that judgement is upon you.
01:17:09 Amen.
