"I have the impression he's happy with it." "Please, what disappointment?" "He can see his grandfather any time, but a trip to Bulgaria only comes around once a couple of years." "You know what I'd have done at his age to get a trip to the seaside?" "What's the matter?" "Hm?" "The last day in school, and you're not happy?" "Oh, um..." "You'll have a vacation to remember." "What are you taking with you?" "I'm giving Kalista my whole year's hunting scrapbook." "~ Oh." "Bye." "~ Bye." "~ And you take a jacket, it's cold." "~ OK." "Kalista!" "Kalista!" "~ Are you ready?" "~ Well, throw it!" "Can you?" "Kalista!" "Kalista!" "Kalista!" "Hi, Vasek!" "Hello, Mrs. Kalistová!" "~ Where are you going on your vacation?" "~ Mom said to forget them." "Well, that was just due to the weather." "~ This year it looks like all kinds of ways." "~ The ants will tell us." "Today the school year ends, children." "And now you have two months of rest ahead of you." "I hope you spend time in forests and rivers at pioneer camps." "Some of you will spend a vacation abroad, others in the Republic." "However, all with good intentions, try to do everything to stay healthy..." "Can you hear?" "Finally, you'll get your Veno." "Hmm, that's interesting." "He remembers Veno well!" "After all, I've told you about him ten times." "I'd give you a written report." "This would happen!" "Come On." "¤ Broad meadow... ¤ Grass green..." "¤ Ho and Ho... ¤ Grass green..." "¤ And there my dear... ¤ And there my dear... ¤ Grazing deer... ¤" "~ Relax, Brok, easy." "~ ¤ Ho and Ho... ¤ Watch things, gamekeeper... ¤ Good day." "~ Are you minstrels of the woods?" "~ Yeah, minstrels of the woods?" "~ Jesus, what minstrel?" "~ Where are you going?" "Since it's you, Sir Gamekeeper, just following my nose." "Oh, I see!" "And where is your nose leading you?" "I'd like to bring him to the famous campsite at Kvilde." "In the famous..." "At Kvilde." "~ To Kvilde." "~ Well." "~ What's wrong?" "~ Do you have a fishing license?" "~ Do you have a fishing license?" "~ No, no... ~ Why would we need a license!" "~ What about that rod you have?" "~ Rod?" "~ Yeah!" "~ Come on, that's for fishing." "~ That is a fishing rod." "You don't have a license, but you have a fishing rod." "What kind of logic is that?" "~ Of course there's logic." "~ Of course." "~ We don't catch anything on the game fish list." "~ While in the forest." "~ We have the pole." "~ But we we're catching nothing." "~ So that's the logic." "~ It's logical." "If I catch you and you've got one on the list, you won't be glad to see me." "Can't you drop you stupid jokes?" "He rules the whole forest." "~ What a stupid jokes?" "~ Oh!" "And walking in the woods is permitted only along the designated routes!" "~ You got that?" "~ All Right!" "¤ We welcome you... ¤ In trouble again... ¤ From morning to night... ¤ We do not help... ¤" "He has a rod, but says he won't catch any fish." "Yeah, right!" "Gamekeeper, when Veno arriving?" "Pretty soon." "Everyone's expecting Veno." "Not to mention you, for that matter." "Ah, here are our guests!" "I've been expecting you for three days." "~ I need firewood." "~ You got it." "Ungeler!" "Cut him lots." "~ Here for this old man." "~ I'll give you the old, you goat!" "~ Some new guy?" "~ Hmm." "~ A kind of poor man." "~ Why?" "~ His wife died." "~ So what?" "~ There's booze..." "~ So what?" "~ But he works here!" "~ Oh." "~ Cahoun!" "~ What is it?" "~ Taking wood this evening to the lodge." "~ Yeah!" "Well, listen, Brok." "This applies to you, too." "And you, too." "Come on." "So I read it." "Not you, too." "It's here!" "~ So thank you." "~ Yeah, and there's something else." "~ What?" "But you won't be very happy." "Where did you find him?" "Above Frantiskovy Lázne." "Around were tracks of rubber boots." "~ You were there." "~ Um." "Yeah, stupid that your grandson's coming now." "Veno isn't coming." "My son's taking him to Bulgaria." "Kalista!" "Kalista!" "~ Kalista!" "~ Catch!" "Thanks, and don't say a word!" "Bye." "~ Where are you going?" "~ To my grandfather's by Jezevci Rock." "Come sit up front with me." "~ You're Straka?" "Veno's son?" "~ Yeah." "And how is it that you're on your own?" "Grandad couldn't come." "He's in his lodge, they're all waiting for me." "Grandpa, Brok, and Líza." "~ Well, old Straka has a woman?" "~ No, no, that's a deer." "Take a look!" "I'm looking forward to meeting her." "Oh, I see..." "Brok!" "Brok!" "My dumb little puppy!" "Grandpa?" "Hi, Kubík!" "Líza?" "Líza?" "I don't remember this poacher, but it's clear there's a poacher in my district, too." "How's that?" "I found venison entrails, covered in grass." "Hm." "Where's Brok?" "I left him at home instead." "It's better that way." "Damn it!" "Cahoun!" "~ Who was firing?" "~ Me." "~ I'm paid to do it." "~ In the fields, you do what you want,... but don't take a gun into the woods anymore!" "Stop it, Cahoun is in order." "He brought me the throttled deer." "Forester!" "Not a word about any poachers." "~ Hi, guys, what are you whispering about here?" "~ Nothing." "Complaining about Veno's not coming." "My son's taking him to Bulgaria." "~ It's more interesting for him, no?" "~ My son in effect stood me up." "But, Straka, there's no doing business like this." "Veno will find a way through his own heart." "Bye." "Hermínko, let's go." "Naughty!" "And...where's Veno?" "Veno!" "Veno!" "You damn kid!" "Veno!" "Veno!" "Grandpa, who killed Líza?" "Well, that's a nice welcome!" "I let her go, so she could have her fawns." "And what about the skin at the gate?" "That's from a dead deer." "And is that true?" "You shouldn't have to ask." "An honorable man never lies." "Grandpa, so don't be mad at me." "And why aren't you in Bulgaria?" "They let you go?" "~ Well, can you explain that to me?" "~ I can't do that." "~ Why not?" "An honorable man never lies." "~ Yeah." "~ Grandpa, I'm hungry." "You have any bacon?" "You bet I have!" "Well, let's fill your mouth!" "You've got real big teeth for such a small dog!" "Well, what do you think?" "You wanted to eat bacon." "What is this?" "Uh, a scrapbook." "Well..." "Where we have seen this wire before?" "~ Gee!" "~ Top Twenty." "~ I'm going under." "~ You can use soap, right?" "~ Yeah?" "Why don't I take some with me?" "~ To use, right?" "~ Of course." "Come on, you're dirty whether you wash or not." "When we were kids in Proskovic in the summer, I played in the meadows." "But in the winter... ¤ And a mustache, mustache, mustache, mustache... ¤ he made us, he made us sausage... ¤" "~ Gee ~ Get to it." "I..." "Cold, cold..." "Come on, come on... ¤ And a mustache, mustache, mustache, mustache... ¤" "Splash my mustache!" "¤ He made us, he made us sausage... ¤" "Once more by the eyes...there we go." "Ouch!" "But..." "What are you doing here?" "It's you!" "What do you want with me?" "You've got a phone call at the sawmill at eight." "And shit." "We wouldn't blame you, Daddy." "But you could have called!" "I came home late last night." "Apartment empty, Vasek gone." "What should I think?" "Or do you think that this little boy need not listen to his parents?" "~ He can just run off to the woods?" "~ You are right." "That wasn't nice of Veno." "He'll have to tell you." "What?" "What's postponed?" "The trip to Bulgaria?" "Why?" "What?" "Yeah." "I understand." "I'll talk to him." "Come yourself, or at least call." "~ When my lordly son has the time!" "~ Hello?" "What did you say about Vaclav?" "Will you ever forgive him that he went to study and didn't become a gamekeeper?" "~ You know what?" "~ I know, I know..." "~ What do you know!" "?" "~ I take care of my own!" "~ Right." "The weather's threatening again." "We'll play cards, Brok." "Veno!" "Veno!" "You get to watch this!" "~ Your grandfather went for it." "~ What is it?" "~ A TV!" "They say it rains all the time when..." "~ This is great!" "What's great?" "The TV is mine." "The bread is yours." "Have some." "There's nothing to be done, I have to find Líza, Brok." "Líza!" "Líza!" "Líza!" "Líza!" "Líza!" "Líza!" "Líza!" "Good day to you." "You're harvesting the viper?" "I collect them." "~ And I'll sell it." "~ To a vampire?" "No." "Some things must die,... so that others might live --- a long-time law of nature." "That's life." "Life." "~ "We're like brothers." ~ "Pam, pam..."" ""Brothers!" ""And it doesn't matter whether we're brothers." "Come on, buddy, we're going to play."" "Yeah?" "Hooray!" "Hooray!" "Grandpa, is he called Viperman?" "Watch this." "I've already seen it." "No, Pernikár." "He's called Viperman because he feeds on nature." "He's a weirdo." "But I couldn't find Líza." "Well, you know, if she's borne her young, they'll be hidden in the bush... while she cares for them." ""Listen up, pal."" "Well, yeah, but the Viperman said that some things that must perish,... so other lived." "Viper, Viper..." "Viper!" "And what if he doesn't just catch vipers!" "Turn the channel." "~ You didn't tell me what you brought." "~ Such a competition, for the Golden Saddle trophy." "We had to find out the names of all the plants." "Grandpa,... what's this one?" "A dandelion." "~ What's this?" "~ Nightshade." "~ Zlomocný." "~ Yeah, zlomocný." "Grandpa, what's this?" "Go to sleep, you know what time it is?" "You should have been in bed a long time ago." "~ Good night, Mr. Cahoun." "~ Good night." "So what is it?" "~ You don't know, do you?" "~ But I do know: daphne." "But you surprised me with the Pernikár." "And isn't that be possible?" "He goes where he wants... ~ and you won't take any notice." "~ Please, Pernikár a poacher!" "~ Grandpa, who's a poacher?" "~ Go to sleep!" "Don't jump to conclusions." "God knows who it is." "~ Maybe someone completely from somewhere else." "~ Of course." "What was that, grandpa?" "Well, what was it?" "Squirrel." "He wants to play with you." "Grandpa, I found something!" "Well, mushrooms." "My dad taught me to find these!" "He loves mushrooms." "~ All the time?" "~ Yeah." "What have you found?" "~ What have you found?" "~ What is it, Grandpa?" "Venison offal." "Brok, search!" "Come on, boy!" "Rubber boots!" "Fresh track." "But that doesn't help us much." "~ What is it, Grandpa?" "~ A noose." "~ Now you see how a poacher works." "~ The poacher is a sadist." "It was Líza, Grandpa?" "Certainly not." "There, Grandpa!" "Viperman!" "Pernikár!" "Well." "Pernikár, what were you doing on that hill this morning?" "Ssssssss!" "Oh, and what about these bones?" "Lamb." "Lamb?" "Forester." "~ Forester?" "~ Yeah." "So, Straka, which bothers you more: retiring, or a poacher?" "I'd like your permission to ask a question." "~ Sure." "~ Did you give something to Pernikár?" "Yeah, a lamb." "All he brought his wife were twigs." "So what else I should I do, hm?" "So he's OK." "I admit, I have a poacher in the district." "~ Come on, come on, we've got to go!" "~ What's the hurry?" "~ Whoever's coming along, get with it." "~ Hi." "~ Hi." "Grandpa said these tracks are fresh." "And Brok wanted to keep hunting in the woods." "And I said: over there!" "And my grandfather looked through his binoculars and saw Viperman." "But he told me to tell anyone about it." "But I said it." "Thanks." "I know something that I'll tell just you, too." "This morning, I saw Líza." "~ Where?" "~ The Moors Lake." "But she seemed to want to be here." "Mr. Cahoun, please come with me." "I'm working!" "Mr. Cahoun, please." "~ Are you my friend?" "~ Sure." "~ Then don't call me Cahoune." "~ What should I call you?" "~ Well, how about Josef?" "~ Come on!" "~ Stay, Brok." "Stay, you guard the place." "~ What is it?" "What are we looking for?" "~ The varmints." "I only hunt in fields, but you wouldn't believe there's so much, not even can fetch them all." "Do you have a dog?" "Stop!" "Stop!" "~ What are you doing here?" "~ We were looking for Líza." "In a tractor?" "Do you mind?" "They're waiting for you at the sawmill and you're wasting for state money." "~ I'm going in the same direction..." "~ Shut up, please!" "Go ahead!" "And you go home!" "You wandered off and left the house unguarded." "And Brok, too!" "God, you just do whatever you want." "Your mom was right." "You need a firm hand." "I'd rather send you home, you vulture." "Brok!" "Brok!" "Quiet, don't yell!" "~ Líza, Grandpa with a fawn." "~ Shut up." "Grandpa, what are they doing?" "Ask Brok, he knows everything." "Grandpa, I'm all right with you." "What do you still have to worry about?" "Things." "About the poacher?" "~ That, too." "~ By the way, my mom called." "Grandpa, you've got my picture?" "Yeah." "You're my hope and joy." "Really, Grandpa, do you think I should go ahead to Bulgaria?" "I really think so." "~ An honorable man never lies." "~ Right." "They said his the trip was postponed." "Because of you." "Yeah!" "You asked what that plant is." "It's mezereum." "Where did you learn that, Grandpa?" "Well...it comes with age." "You're the man, Grandpa!" "Damn it!" "You're here watching as the deer rutting season starts?" "~ Don't scare him." "~ Who?" "Cahoun." "He's been there all along across the way and you missed it." "Well, he's gone." "Cahoun?" "Wait a minute..." "Come on, Brok." "When you find the wire noose, it's the place you'll be watching, right?" "~ Yeah." "~ And Cahoun brought you a deer." "He wouldn't have, not if he was the poacher." "But he did it only after I discovered the buried guts." "And he has the soul of a hunter." "Veno?" "Cahoun spoke with you yesterday, didn't he?" "~ Sure." "~ What about?" "We talked about his dog Alma and her puppies." "What do you think, Grandpa, would my mom would let me keep a dog at home?" "I don't know." "What are they doing there?" "Playing around." "From hunger." "Ungeler!" "He's late again." "But he's found a sweetheart." "What, are you kidding?" "It's my sister-in-law." "Sister-in-law!" "Ha ha..." "Hello." "Hi." "I have something for you." "What?" "You told me today to take care of your own business." "The deer again." "This morning I saw a dog go by." "So Antos told me the truth." "Now I'll wait for you, Cahoune." "I know, Veno." "You'll bring him a message." "~ Hello." "~ Good day." "Let's not get wet, lads, something's coming, it's going to pour." "~ But we don't mind, uncle." "~ We've got pills." "~ What pills?" "~ Emerick." "You ingest it and don't get wet." "¤ We welcome you... ¤ in trouble again... ¤ from morning to night" "¤ We do not help... ¤" "Brok!" "Brok!" "What is it?" "You didn't bring me a message, did you?" "Come On!" "Holy crap." "The weather's looking bad again." "Well, Grandfather's waiting and he's hungry." "And you think just about food!" "Come On!" "Come on, Brok!" "Guide me!" "Veno!" "Brok, where's the feeding station?" "Search!" "Veno's somewhere in the woods." "Let's go!" "But where's Cahoun?" "Hello?" "Yeah, that's you." "I'm sorry Daddy, I'm calling again, but Vaclav..." "Well, we were just curious as to whether you were done with Vasek yet." "Has something happened to Veno?" "So we can go to Bulgaria?" "Well, you're great!" "Hello?" "Hello!" "Has something happened?" "Yeah, to Veno!" "He's the gamekeeper's lodge, sleeping." "Well, maybe not, I don't know." "There's a crazy storm here, and darkness." "What?" "Yeah." "I understand." "Come on, come, we'll be expecting you." "Hello?" "Hello!" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "Look at what we've seen here, Brok." "Who is it?" "I got myself in trouble!" "I was left hanging." "Cahoun!" "And what are you doing here?" "Are you looking for someone?" "Brok, did you see him?" "Come on!" "Pernikár!" "Pernikár!" "He's not home." "Viperman!" "Is anybody there?" "Brok!" "Mr. ..." "Mr. Ungeler!" "He's the poacher!" "Veno!" "Ungeler!" "~ Mommy!" "Mommy!" "~ Hi!" "I'm glad you're all right." "And why wouldn't he be?" "~ In the phone, it seemed to me that..." "~ You really only dreamed." "Did something happen, Veno?" "No, what could happen?" "What's up, Pernikár?" "Ssssssss!" "Ssssssss..." "Quietly." "Who's it from?" "Cahoun." "My dumb little puppy." "Well, yeah, but now I won't be able to go to Bulgaria." "Who would take care of the puppy?"
