"His name is Kramer." "He is the most frightful police informer in the whole of Vienna." "He is chatting with the well known but, it seems, not careful enough student leader, Fritz Goldner." "I hope you agree that Metternich has a grand capacity." "Look at that respectable white haired banker." "Bad news is coming from Paris, unrest, turmoil everywhere." "You know, count, that capital is also restless at times like this." "The capital withdraws." "My bank does not give credit willingly now." "But if you could visit me in my home?" "You must be mad, are you jealous?" "It's not worth it." "Pallwitz is as poor as a church mouse." " And little Alfonsine..." " I forbid you" "Sir, I'll be as silent as a grave." "People are making faces behind our backs." "You are right, I got the message." "I'll stay for another half an hour." "Just to keep up appearances." "Do I mean so little to you now?" "You know very well you mean more than anything else to me..." "I $88." "I can never forget it." "I have no fortune, only my sword." "And the purity of my name." "I am the last Pallwitz." "I have a son." "He is my successor, the one who continues my name" "I have to know where my child has been hidden." "He is in a safe place." "You can't decide about his fate alone, Alfonsine." "All right." "Then I'll search for him." "But you'll never see me again." "Are you punishing me, Otto, or fate?" "Or God?" "You punished yourself, Alfonsine." "Ladies, excuse me." "What was that?" "You know very well." "You know all about it." "I hate you." " Hello, boys." " Greetings to you, my dear sir." " Hello, Richard." " Hello, old boy." "I'm glad you're in such a good mood Richard."

"There's no need to go out of your way." "I didn't convey any kisses to you personally." "Goodbye... old boy." "Goodbye." "He's an unpleasant character." "You're a savage." "Do you know who he was?" "The imperial administrator of our county." "That concerns the county." "And our future stepfather." "That concerns our mother." "At last I see you again, my darling." "Do you want anything, captain?" "Anything you have." "Something cold, because whenever I see you, heat overwhelms me." "Here you are." "Thanks, my sweet angel." " Do tell me, can I hope?" " Perhaps." "When can I get an answer?" "Later." "Why not now?" "Because of Count Pallwitz?" " In this dreadful company there is a girl..." " What are you talking about?" "A girl!" " Sir!" " Captain Baradlay?" " At your service." "We were instructed by Lieutenant Spieldorf to hand you his card." "May I ask what for?" "You behaved indecently with the cousin of the lady of the house, Miss." "Edit Liedenwall." "Cousin?" "Good God!" "Of course, I'm at the lieutenant's disposal." "Right." "Name your seconds, please." "It is a majestic feeling, Baroness." "I could express it by saying that I am holding you in my arms." "Although this is only a dance." "A waltz that makes one happy." "Excuse me." "I don't know how it happened." "I thought that..." "That I was a housemaid, didn't you?" "Yes." "This dress and here..." "I asked my aunt to let me help." "I live with them and they ought to make some use of me." "Captain, if I were a housemaid, would it be fair to treat a housemaid like that?" "Even if you were a housemaid, I would kiss your hand now, if you'd let me." "May I have this dance?" "I really don't know." "The captain." "He keeps close to her." "He's courting her." "It's an early spring love affair, dear." "There are already green leaves on the trees in the Prater, and at such times, ladies go out on a coach tour with their beaux." "Your calmness drives me crazy." "How can you endure that..." "That's the order of things." "He asked her to dance at the ball." "She wore a housemaid's dress while dancing." "I was deeply ashamed." "He sends flowers to her." "He fought a duel for her." "And now a drive, cafe, romantic walks." "Edit can't get married before you do." "How can you prevent it?" "For the time being, I am her guardian I manage her inheritance?" "Where is the inheritance?" "That is precisely why she can't get married." "Tomorrow, then?" "If you have the courage..." "Let's go." "Your offer is a great honour for us, captain." "And if Edit wants to be your wife, I am pleased to agree to it." "You may get married as soon as Edit's education is completed." "As to the date of the wedding, Baroness?" "According to my estimation, the wedding could be held in about eighteen months to two years." " May I talk to Edit?" " Edit has moved." "This morning she went to an educational institute of a convent." "Good bye, Baradlay." "Do visit us one day." "Madam!" "Madam!" "A letter from a faraway land!" "A letter from my son." "Harness the horses!" "Harness the horses!" "I wanted to see how you were doing here alone." "Any news about your father?" "All I know is that he was taken to Pest." " I had no part in it." " I know." "Many Hungarians have been put into gaol for speaking their minds." "What will you do if you are left alone for years?" "I'll stay in our house." "I won't leave here." "How will you make a living?" "I can sew, make embroidery," "I'll do anything but I won't leave here." "Did you promise?" "To your father?" "To him, too." "People around here won't approve of you." "I can live with that." "For your father?" "For him and for somebody else." "The man who gave me this ring." "Kiss me, my girl." "Read it." "The letter is about him written by a friend of his." "Don't worry, he was in danger, but he is all right now." ""With a bold sacrifice he saved me from the throats of the wolves and I was able to drag him out from under the ice." "Even when he fainted he grasped his fiancees portrait 'm his hand." "He is out of danger now, and tomorrow he will leave for home." "In three days he will be in Hungary..." "Congratulations!" "Thank you gentlemen." "Well?" "Is Mr. Tormándy joining in the congratulations?" "I have arranged everything." "I've lived to see the day!" "Congratulations, Governor." "Thank you, thank you, gentlemen, although it is a bit too early." "Accept it with pleasure, good wishes never come too early." "Mr. Bridesman, make your proposal." "Count, be smart." "Welcome, gentlemen." "Greetings to the beautiful fiancee." "I have invited you to a family celebration." "It was the will of my late husband, that our ancient house should not remain lonely for long." "May the will of the departed come true." "May the old splendour of the Baradlay house return." "There will be a lord in this house again, someone who fills the post of the head of the family, beside a beloved wife." "Please, come with me." "Witness the marriage of the head of the Baradlay house and his wife." "Let's follow them to the church of the village." "Stop it." "Stop it." "Long live the young couple." "Somebody is missing." "Somebody, who'd have the holy right to bless this wedding." "Hurrah!" "The village will not remain long without its priest." "He was dragged away because of Kázmér Baradlay," "Odion Baradlay will bring him back." "Horses, now." "I only have two well rested ones." "I want those two." "Two?" "But how shall I harness them?" "There's no need." "Put saddles on them now." "My joints are stiff." "I hope we'll get there in time." "You shouldn't have come, my boy." "I couldn't bear this crime any more, sir." "It is easy to do ill, to make it right is much more difficult." "I was told his funeral speech offended my father's memory." "I said, now I'm the head of the family" "I decide what I consider an of fence." "But you should've stayed at the county assembly, who knows what they are up to." "Gentlemen." "My comrades and I have submitted a draft resolution..." "Shame on you!" "...with which we wish to support MP Lajos Kossuth's proposition regarding the fee simple, the responsible ministry and the administrational of fences." "Now he's come out in his true colours." "They don't like the governor." "You are right sir." "And we also don't like it among other things, that a person elected in Vienna should be the leader of our county." " A nobody!" " You've offended the chair." "You have to pay a fine." "It wasn't me, but I'll pay the fine." "There's enough in it for the next fine as well." "We are not going to withdraw our proposal, and we won't let it be postponed even if all the hangmen will join forces against us." "Hear!" "Hear!" "If it covers it, I'll say this, too." "No mean trick or vile person will be able to stop us." "Gentlemen of the assembly." "We've passed the following resolution." "Since peaceful discussion is quite impossible here today, and the ever excited participants present have given vent to their noisy emotions offensive to the dignity of the meeting..." " What noise?" " Not yet, but there will be." "Is Mr. Chairman an oracle?" "Silence please." "As the chairman, I dissolve the assembly." "The meeting is adjourned sine die." "We'll elect a new chairman and resume the discussion." "That's opposing the chairman!" "A rebellion!" "A rebellion!" "Gendarmes, forward!" "We protest against the unlawful brute force!" "How did you get here?" "A prisoner!" "He's escaped from prison!" "Arrest the priest!" "Calm down, my friends!" "Calm down." "Gendarmes, get back!" "I am the only one to give you orders." "The Lord Lieutenant of the country." "Who says vivat for Lord Lieutenant Baradlay?" "Hurrah'." "Viva".!" "The majority!" "Long live Ödön Baradlay, the perpetual Lord Lieutenant of our county!" "Hurrah!" "It was only good manners that brought me here, Madam." "I must say goodbye to you." "I am leaving this county you, madam and your son have diverged from the road laid down by my great friend, your late husband, in his last will." "Now there is a great turmoil here and in Vienna, too." "You are walking down a dangerous road." "A road that will take you to a height, but the name of that height is the scaffold." "Look left!" "What is going on in the city?" "And what's this outfit?" "It was the only way I could get through." "The whole city is up in arms." "There is shooting in the streets." "People shoot at each other." "Turmoil and confusion." "I couldn't even get near the police headquarters." " And the army?" " I don't know." "Nobody knows anything." "Ladies, thanks for your hospitality, with your kind permission." "I am leaving." "Are you going out?" "Where to?" "Somebody has to do something." "Isn't that so?" "Well, yes." "If the army doesn't act, then it will be the civilians' turn." "I am an old, sick man." "And you?" "Are you also a sick, old man?" "It is not my concern that there is shooting in the streets." " Mr. Kramer." " At your service." "Let's go, Kramer." "Ladies." "And we?" "Where shall we go?" "Nowhere." "We remain here." "In this confusion?" "We shall master this confusion." "Do you hear?" "They are coming." "Our new fiends are coming." "Don't just stand there." "Help me." "The servants should collect all the candles." "Put them all in the windows." "Hang out all the rugs and tablecloth." "Hurry!" "Too late!" "I'm done for." "100 Forinst." "Get me some vehicle." " A cab in such a confusion?" " 200." " Not for one million." " 300." "There's one way I can get you out of here, General." "Where's the dead body?" " Cheers for liberty!" " Cheers!" "Madam!" "You are our Madame Roland." "Please accept our respects on behalf of the students of Vienna and the uprising people." "Hurrah!" "Gun and courage I don't miss, I offer my cheeks for a kiss." "We have become brothers and sisters." "I place my house at the disposal of the revolutionary people." "General, this is yours." "This city has become a madhouse." "Do you understand any of this?" "No." "But I'm not interested." "Civil rights, freedom, one can't feel safe walking the street." "Tonight I've received four contrasting orders until the fifth proved the first four invalid because those who issued them have already resigned." "I'm asking for your help, Richard." "With pleasure, but I don't see how I can be of help to you?" "I have to get to the Plankenhorst house." "I am worried about Alfonsine, and I have to save her." "That's your business, brother." "Give me 1, 2, or 3 Hussars." "I'll fight my way through to the house." "There was another girl living in that house for whom I'd risk my life." "But I can't lift a finger." "I have to remain here." "Even if my leaders have gone crazy" "I can't make a step." "So no?" "Unfortunately not." "And I have to say frankly that for Alfonsine Plankenhorst and her mother." "I wouldn't risk even the little finger of my Hussars." "Thank you that's enough." "Good-bye." "Good-bye, brother." "Alfonsine!" "My dear, dear friend!" "Give me your hand." "With this handshake I greet the fraternal Hungarian nation." "Welcome my dear friend." "Welcome!" " My friend!" " Comrade in arms." " Comrade." "You will be our comrade in arms until death." "He is coming from the Burg Just look at the haughty walk of the big bellied Windischgrätz." "No girls' taste." "The stupid Windischgrätz." "Don't bother too much, but turn to the right for Windischgrätz is coming." "If he faces you Just turn him round" "And kick him Down below" "The place is easy to find No need to search for it hard" "Round and huge, like a mass He's just a big..." "Nil." "Silence, silence!" "Agents of the chief minister are organizing gangs." "They want to soil the revolution." "They're inciting the mob to provide an excuse for the authorities." "What?" "We shall face them." "We shall halt that gang." "Come on!" "Let's go." "This is the decisive hour, protect the revolution!" "The distillery has been plundered." "Now they are besieging the Brigitta convent." "Baradlay!" "Come with us!" "Go with them, Jenö!" "Guard and protect the purity of the revolution, our revolution." "Let's go, Come on!" "Hurry up." "Take a swig." "Now, let's go." "To waste this lovely brandy like this!" "Stop!" "Dismount!" "See this?" "3 men stay here with the horses." "We won't make them go through the fire." "Hussars on foot?" "Well, I never!" "Stop grumbling." "Are you all right?" "It's happened before." "It's nothing." "Are you ill, Goldner?" "No." "I'll be over in minute." "Get out of the way." "You tin soldiers!" "Jack puddings!" "Get out from here." "Let's look at the pretty girls in the convent." "Stop!" "Lay down your arms!" "Officer!" "I call on you, in the name of freedom..." "You should address those here..." "They are provocateurs." "Not revolutionaries." "My name is Goldner." "President of the revolutionary students' committee of Vienna." "Captain Baradlay." "Another Baradlay?" "This is a fine day." "Officer!" "Your younger brother is our comrade-in-arms." "Richard, look..." "What's this,brother?" "Yesterday you didn't understand a thing, and today, you're a revolutionary?" "There's been enough talk, we'll be beaten to death." "Patriots, comrades in arms." "On the glorious dawn of freedom..." "Shut your mouth!" "Leave it to me." "I can speak their language." "Listen, mates!" "Look here!" "Don't hit us!" "I know a better trick." "More fun than that." "Beat Metternich!" "Beat him..." "It's gallant protection." "The reward is a rotten egg." "Students!" "With drunken plunderers you have to use a different style." "You're right, captain." "Unfortunately, you are right." " Legion, draw your swords." " Aim!" "Trumpeter!" "Richard, for heaven's sake." "They're misled people..." "Sir." "I am not a churchgoing man," "I have nothing to do with priests and nuns, but I am a man and a soldier." "And in this convent, there are women trembling for their lives." "I'll tell them not to worry." "What do you want?" "No man can enter this house." "What do you want here?" "You were brought here?" "Who?" "Our sister is being educated here." "But what is that to you?" "I ask you for the third time:" "what do you want here?" "I only wanted to tell you that as long as I am alive no man can enter this house with a harmful intent, I swear to this." "Not one more step!" "Company!" "Draw your swords!" "Attack!" "Back!" "Go back!" " Look!" "Do you recognise him?" " I sure do." "On behalf of the free people and students of Vienna" "I greet the representatives of revolutionary Hungary." "Friends." "The reactionaries of the imperial court are preparing a plot against you." "And against us, too." "We must take up arms." "And we will not put them down until we have broken the power of the oppressors." "Magnificent words, I shall immortalize them." "This is just the beginning of the struggle." "The regiments of reaction are not only fighting against us, they have also formed a threatening ring around Vienna." "Hungary has sent us here to Vienna, with fraternal greetings." "Hurrah!" "Hurrah!" "Hurrah!" "I've been here twice looking for you in vain." "I rarely come home these days, mother." "Your landlady says you haven't been at home for days." "I've been asked by some friends, a mother and a daughter, they are alone in this turmoil." "I'm staying with them for a few days." "I saw you at the port this morning." "I was happy and sad." "I looked at my two sons." "Both of them are in their places." "Ödön is the messenger of freedom, and you with the uprising people of Vienna." "Mother," "I have been trying to tell you for weeks, but I haven't had the opportunity." "I have got nothing to do with what is happening in Vienna." "I am swept along by the wind, that is all." "There are men fighting and dying in this city and I cannot understand why." "These enthusiasts are strangers to me." "I saw you among them, together with them." "You also had a sword at your side." "It was not the revolutionary idea that took me among them." "But what?" "You were not alone in the port." " I saw you with a woman." " Yes." "What you said has spoilt my joy." "Now there is only sadness in me." "Sadness?" "Had I seen anyone else with you I'd approve of your love." "But this girl..." "You know who she is." "There is a banner of the revolution on their house." "I've seen it." "On the house which used to be visited by the emperor's ministers for years." "They've now put out the banner of freedom." "To live in such shameless lie in not an honest thing to do." "Mother." "I'm worried about you, my son." "I'm a grown man." "A grown man." "Take care of yourself, my dear." "Stop!" "Get off!" "We're just taking communion wine to the convent." "Go on." "Stop!" "Password!" "Hang the chief minister!" "Goldner!" "Fritz, were you with Antoinette again?" "Are you sick, that you are not talking in verse?" "At dawn, I am unable to do any rhyming," "Particularly not on an empty stomach." "I passed a bakery and could smell the fresh bread." "Any news?" "Antoinette spoke to the Mother Superior." "They think that a strong Hungarian army is approaching Vienna, to attack the imperial army from the rear." "I wish it was true." "I have sent a scout to the tower of the St.Stephen church." "You spent the night with them again?" "You mustn't touch her little finger, just gaze at her like an altar picture." "She kissed me on that wonderful night, when the revolution broke out." "You're crazy." "Maybe." "I can't do anything about it." "I don't even want to." "I only have a year left." "You know that, you're a doctor." "Did a kiss confuse you so much?" "Not just that kiss." "Stop!" "Password?" "Hang the chief minister." "We've brought you 4 barrels of gunpowder." "We've brought some presents, too." "Is this fresh bread?" "It's heavy like lead." "That's what it is." "It was sent by the national guard of printers." "We heard you've run out of lead." "We cast bullets of old letters." "You, printers are great lads." "At least Windischgrätz will have something to read." "Well?" "Not just the kiss?" "But the heroic firmness with which Antoinette joined us." "And she is relentlessly supporting the cause of the revolution." "Edit?" "Edit." "It's all right." "Was he here today, too?" "Bullets, gunfire, everything." "Goldner always arrives on time." "Goldner considers the situation of the uprising bleak and hopeless." "He already has plans for our rescue." "I cried, what will happen to us, if the imperial army occupies the town." "Goldner told me not to worry." "There's a squadron of Hussars in the besieging army, the squadron of Richard Baradlay." "The soldiers made friends with the insurgents." "Another Baradlay." "What about yours, Alfonsine?" "Jenö will do what I say." "Richard Baradlay is not playing a lone hand with the rebels." "And what troops are in the vicinity of the Baradlay squadron?" "The armoured troops of Otto Pallwitz." "Mother Remigia, do you know that Mrs. Baradlay has secretly arrived in Vienna?" "Unbelievable, If she is caught..." "She's staying with a peddler at 17, Singer street." "Surely... 17 Singer street." "I'll send a message to Colonel Pallwitz tomorrow." "Are you in contact with him?" "I send messages in code." "With biblical names." "Pallwitz's name is Joshua." "The monastery is Jericho." "I am Rachel." "For the past week I've found these newspapers on my table every morning." "Are you smuggling them into me, you old culprit?" "These are mere guesses, delusions." "These things can't be happening at home." "Why do you read them, silly old man?" "Even a silly old man thinks of his country, Captain." "They are scribbling." "All sorts of things." "This is forbidden for a soldier of the emperor, understand?" "YES." "Where do you get these from?" "A woman has sent them to me every day, since Wednesday." " Woman, woman!" "What kind of a woman?" " Me." " Mother!" " My son!" "How did you get here?" "As is the case of soldiers." "I said the password." "God and Emperor." "A new password is needed, son." "Forward." "Homeward!" "Sir, nothing of importance happened all night." "Connection on the right wing?" "The emperor's hunters sent reports every half hour." "Nothing happened there, either." "On the left wing?" "The Baradlay Hussar regiment is stationed at its camp." " Are they under surveillance?" " Constantly." "If you see anything suspicious, report it to me at once." "Yes, sir." "The whole country is up in arms." "A National defence Committee has been formed." "Kossuth calls the Hungarian soldiers back from abroad." "The Hungarian government regards Windischgrätz appointment unlawful." "Is that true, too?" "True?" "Is this all true?" "Just one hundredth of reality." "Why don't you realise that those you serve are trying to strangle your country?" "I am a soldier." "I took an oath." "To the king of Hungary." "But he turned out to be the emperor of Austria who murders his own people in Vienna with gunfire and bayonets." "What can we expect from him?" "Answer me." "This girl fled to me during the night across a city that has become a battleground." "She came to save your life." "And your honour." "Edit!" "Did you undertake such danger because of me?" "I did it because of the two of us." "Richard, it would be unworthy of you not to fulfil your duty." "And of me not to help you to do so." "All of us have changed." "People have changed a lot." "Even a stone of rock is moved by the sorrow of the Hungarian mothers." "They order their sons to return home and the sons have come home." "Is it only you who doesn't hear this appeal?" "I'm listening, mother." "But who can tell me how I can preserve my honour?" "Your private soldiers, the sons of peasants and small craftsmen, and old Pál." "They already know." "Your Hussars are just waiting for you." "Captain, it's six o'clock." "Time to change the guard." "What will be the password today?" " The password today:" "Forward!" "Homewards!" " Oh, heavens." "Excuse me." "I understood it, Captain." "Forward!" "Homewards." "Line-up!" "The dice are cast." "I shall return home." "But what will happen to you, Edit?" "I can't take you along..." "I'll rush along with my Hussars through water and fire." "I'll smuggle you across the border, to Hungary." "You'll be my daughter." "Thank you, but I have to stay behind." "Are you staying in Vienna?" "You fled from the convent, and will be in danger." "I'll go back to the convent." "But why?" "Because, if I disappear now, everything will become known too soon." "They will frustrate our plan." "After the squadron has crossed the Hungarian border," "I'll also leave the convent But now I have to go back." "Right." "Do what you have to do." "Major, the sentries have caught two peddlers." "One keeps demanding to be taken to you." "She has a message from the sisters of the Brigitta." " From the Brigitta convent?" "Bring them here, Lieutenant." " Yes, sir." "Have you brought a message?" "Tell me!" "Only alone, Major." "Miss." "Edit?" "Have you come from the Brigitta convent?" "From Jericho." "Who sent you?" "Rachel." " Who to?" " To Joshua." "Thanks." "And the message?" "The suspicion was correct." "The Baradlay squadron is conspiring with the revolutionaries." "I thought so." "They will join the insurgents, or escape." "They want to join." "Tonight they will join the revolutionary troops." "We have to cut off their way to the city." "To the city." "I understand." "Thank you." "To the city." "I knew very well sir that we would go home." "We would've gone by ourselves, too." "And if I had said no?" "We would've killed, you sir." "If you will excuse me." "We have already tied up three officers who said no." "They are down the potato pit." "Windischgrätz will let them out." "They are closing the route to the city." "Make a start, Pál." "Well, chaps, mount." "And we'll ride east to Hungary." "The last report from the church tower." "The battle at Schwechat is over." "The enemy forced the Hungarians to withdraw." "Thank you, Franz." " We'll be buried by Friday." "Please don't bring any flowers." " Shut up!" "Shall I lie to you or to myself?" "Movements over there, in the square!" "If they shoot at us with cannons, ...there'll be no more wine and women." "They're coming from the church." "The canons!" "We'll be soon standing in front of God, repenting." "Miss." "Edit." "How did you get here?" "I escaped." " From the Plankenhorst palace?" " No!" "I won't go back there, nor to the convent." "Convent?" "That I won't approve of." "If you have a real heart and blood, then you'll never be a nun." "By the way, where are you going Miss." "Edit?" "There is no place in the world where I can go." "We have no home, and nowhere to sleep." "Stay with us." "Will you?" "Captain Baradlay?" "Yes, Major Pallwitz." "Surrender!" "Come here for my sword." "We can't get closer to each other." "Are you ready to duel with me?" "I am." "One, two, three!" "You missed by an inch." "You haven't aimed badly, either." "We'll continue the duel, Major Pallwitz!" "I don't understand how they haven't caught up with us yet." "They have too many lame horses." "We have been surrounded by large forces." "Alarm!" "Alarm!" "Pal, let's move towards the forest along the bank of the stream." "Yes, sir." "Let's go!" "Forward!" "The sun's going down." "The hell it is." "In the East?" "The forest is on fire!" "Mount!" "Back to the river!" "Follow me!" "Here he is." "I knew he would come back, the rest is your business." "Alfonsine!" "I thought I'd never get here." "At last." "At last you are here!" "My dear, dear friend." "Don't let go." "Hold me tight." "Tight, very tight." " People want to separate us." " Who?" "Everybody." "The whole world." "My mother, my friends, all of them..." "What has anyone to do..." "Everyone returned as soon as the fighting ended." "Rideghváry, the general, Mr. Kramer." "They all regard you with suspicion." "In this house?" "Because of the student's legion." "You are suspected of treachery." "Me?" "Never mind." "The important thing is that I can see you are alive, you have come back and you are here with me." "The two of us..." "No." "I shall never let you go away." "Alfonsine?" "I see that you finally thought of us, Mr. Baradlay." "I was cut off for two days." "The fighting." "I couldn't come." "I see, I see." "Baroness." "Although this is not the most appropriate minute," "I would respectfully ask Alfonsine to marry me." "Oh, that is a respectable offer, and I think" "Alfonsine agrees to that." "Dear Baradlay, of course, you didn't go to your office during the rebellion?" "No, baroness." "I spent practically all my time here." "Then you must have been dismissed from the court chancellery?" "Of course, you are the son of a well-to-do landowner's family, however, still not yet of age, and your estates are situated in Hungary." "God, there's such commotion there..." "Why are you silent, Mr. Baradlay?" "Is this the way you want to marry?" "You have no job, your estates are uncertain." "What answer can you give me, if I ask: what are you now?" "Me?" "Nobody and nothing." "Oh, what a pity." "When you can answer my question, we can continue our chat." "By the way, just a short time ago I received your very good friend," "Mr. Rideghváry in the grand salon." "Dear Baradlay, don't you want to meet him?" "I think he could solve all our problems." "I am glad to see you." "You are the only one who didn't disappoint me." "I was told, you suspect me..." "Nonsense!" "You are the only heir to the ideas of the Baradlay house." "Thank you for your confidence in me." "Ödön has left the outpost he was charged to keep." "There are major assignments ahead of you." "You are the only one who can occupy this important post." "Here is your appointment." "When can you occupy your new post?" "I still have to settle something." "It's a private matter..." "Your passport hasn't been made out yet." "I think one more name has to be filled in:" "the name of the first embassy secretary and that of his wife." "The secretary of the embassy at St. Petersburg." "You succeed your elder brother." "An office worthy of a Baradlay who wants to step into his father's shoes." "It was the will of my father to serve the sovereign." "I received the appointment from his friend." "Yes, oh yes." "You have to work to enable the Emperor to gain the Tear's help against us." "This is how you see things, mother." "I know, Ödön shares that view." "But who is right?" "You two think this, while Richard and I think something else." "Richard also served the emperor and now, at this very moment he is struggling homewards." "Has Richard run away?" "I forbid you to say that." "Richard is going home." "Understand?" "Home." "You saw what the emperor's troops were doing in Vienna." "And they are moving against Hungary, with your assistance." "I haven't come to argue with you, my son." "Do what you think is right." "I've come to beg you." "To beg me?" "In the life and death struggle of the country your two brothers may perish." "Fate may deny them the death of a soldier." "They will be prisoners and beggars, if the emperor wins." "Be a good brother to them." "Don't let your brother's son beg in the gutter." "Mother, for God's sake!" "Pay the last honours to your Mother, and bring up Ödön's son as your own." "You think that of me..." "You think that of me..." "I don't think anything." "I can only ask." "Aren't you leaving anything behind?" "Nothing." "Anyone?" "NO one." "Mules are needed for such roads, Captain, not horses." "When we get home, I'll take your horse, and get a mule for you." "I was just joking." "What would you advise me, Pál?" "Let's try the quarry, perhaps we can reach the forest path." "Right." "Let's go." "Dismount." "They are above us." "I've had enemy behind my back and facing me, but they've never danced above my head." " We'll wait." " Wait?" "For what?" "What else could we do?" "Wait for spring to come?" "Let me tell you something." "What new ideas have you got?" "We'll keep them here." "I mean..." "Leave it to me." "Come." "Komm" hier!" "Fire!" "Are you crazy?" "It's me!" "Let go!" "Commissioner." "A strange company." "Show them in!" "Line UP!" "General!" "The legion of Vienna students, or rather what has remained of it, have made their way to Hungary, and thus now report for service." "Welcome." "Excuse me..." "I will bring stone from a quarry, if I get a drop of wine from Hungary..." " Hugo Mausmann." " Ödön Baradlay.." "I know a Baradlay." "He is a Hussar captain in Vienna." "And also another one, his name is Jenö." "He also lives in Vienna." "I don't want to talk about them." "Well, have a good rest." "Excuse me..." "General." "The Austrians have set fire to lsaszeg." "The commanders are gathering at Királyerdö." "Lieutenant colonel, come with me." " Who set fire to the village, the Germans?" " Their cannons." "There has been severe fights around the three hills, by the bridge." "Well, Pál, we go uphill." "All right, Captain, but not with our heads against the wall." "Fifty Hussars are worth gold when they fight but they are worth 500 if they come unexpected." "Not that way, Captain, this way, so we can surprise them from the rear." "Eugén von Baradlay, that is Ödön Baradlay in Hungarian." "No, Major, Jenö." "Ödön is the Hungarian equivalent of Edmund." "Are you related to Richard Baradlay?" "He is my elder brother." "Are you on your way to him?" "We don't even know where he is." "We are on our way to our estate." "Upon your word?" "YES." "We have met before." "Haven't we?" "Oh yes." "In the Plankenhorst house." "Well, madam, you can go on." "I wish you a safe journey." "A cloud of dust on the road." "Don't shoot!" "It's a coach." "Wait until it comes near." "Go, get the Commissioner." "You had to come home to find out." "Your brothers die for life." "Thousands and thousands of your elder and younger brothers." "What do you want from me?" "I've never had a gun in my hands." "I just want you to be with us." "Here I am." "Among the wounded, injured bodies and gunpowder smoke." "Here I am..." " Is this what you wanted?" " Yes, I have won." "All three of you are standing on Hungarian soil." "You live or die together with your mother." "Commissioner, the General wants you." "And what about me?" "What can I do?" "You don't have to take up arms." "You come home with me." "I need a man to protect the family." "Take care of my wife and son." "If anything happens to me, he is the last Baradlay." "Look after him and care for him as he grows up." "Commissioner?" "What's happening at the bridge?" "Give me the report." "A large attack is expected." "The bridge-head has been under heavy artillery fire." "What forces can we move there, apart from the Vienna legion?" "Not many." "I've quickly gathered a few dozen soldiers and national guardsmen." "What about the enemy's strength?" "About a regiment." "The Pallwitz armoured units and artillery are marching against the bridgehead." "The Vienna legion won't be sufficient there." "They are brave boys, though." "They fought their way splendidly over here." "But if they can't hold the bridge..." "The enemy will block the way of our army towards the north." "General, the bridge has to be held at all costs." "It's a good thing." "The enemy is approaching." "The General's order!" "Withdraw to the other bank!" "Blow up the bridge!" "Blow it up?" "That's the last thing." "When only one of us remains." "Now the Legion will show its heroic courage." "Hurrah!" "Volunteer Liedenwall!" "Yes, sir!" "Withdraw to the ditch and guard the ammunition." " Commander, I'd rather..." " Carry out my order!" "God forbid..." "This is a girl..." "General!" "Enemy troop movements from the direction of No. 3 hill." "They are marching towards the bridgehead." "We have to sacrifice our last reserves to enable the main forces to march towards Vienna." "Lieutenant!" "Yes, sir!" "The two battalions should start a counter-attack!" "Yes, sir." "They will perish, all of them." "With us, if need be, Commissioner." "General!" "I, Richard Baradlay report that with my squadron from Vienna" "I am joining the Hungarian army." "Thank you for everything." "May I?" "Three Baradlays on one day." "The dramas of our encounters." "The student who speaks in rhymes." "What wind brings you here, mate?" "The wind of revolution, Captain." "Report from the advance guard command." "During its withdrawal, the Austrian infantry rearranges its lines." "It is now preparing for a new attack, headed by the Pallwitz armoured troops." " Pallwitz?" " Yes." "I have an account to settle with him." "Do you permit me General?" "YES." "Boys!" "The password is the same!" "Forward!" "Homewards!" "Major Pallwitz!" "Otto Pallwitz!" "Here I am, Captain Baradlay." "Shall we continue?" "It is high time!" "Sword?" "Pistol?" "We have used the pistols." "Let it be swords!" "So be it!" "My dear master!" "I'm not angry with you, Baradlay." "We're soldiers." "You've killed me, but you are my comrade, I trust you." "I ask you to take care of a little child." "I loved a girl, and she gave birth to our child in secret." "She then ignored the infant, and left it with strangers." "The documents." "You will find everything." "Try to find my child and bring him up." "I give my word, I will." "Find him." "Take good care of him." "There's not enough light." "I'll continue tomorrow." "Are you tired, mother?" "We had a lot to do." "Large numbers of wounded were brought in." "There is hardly any space left." "Every room is crowded with suffering people." "And some are lying in the courtyard." "You overwork yourself." "If a stranger asks you who this lady in the picture is, what will you say?" "My brother's wife." "My brother's wife." "Why didn't you paint the child there as well?" "Your brother's son?" "I must go." " Where?" " I can't stay here." "It's good I didn't have to tell you that." "It has occurred to me that it would be useful if you moved to the castle." "Among the sufferers, an honest soul and two strong hands would go down very well." "War." "War." "War." "My two brothers are at the front." "I am here." "When they had to back up, it hurt me that I wasn't there with them." " When they won, I felt no envy." " Strange." "When the Tsar attacks us with his army, when hard times come again, it will be painful for me again that I can't be with them." "Do you find it strange, my dear friend?" "To fight for a cause we trust in is the duty of a man." "But to take a stand and perhaps die for a cause, the success of which we never trusted, you are right, is rather strange." "To die, you say?" "It's only symbolic." "I have a lot of spare time, all sorts of thoughts..." "War." "In fact, I have not seen much of it." "In Vienna, I saw only the preliminary jubilation and catastrophe, the dead people in the street, and this thing here." "What is war?" "Tell me, what?" "I am a priest." "My job is only to heal the wounds." "Sir, the Germans are coming." "Where?" "They were seen by the banks of the Körös." "About 20 of them." "They are about to cross the river to the island." "The summer house on the island!" "That poor girl is there all alone!" "Let's go." "Hurry." "Go." "Hurry" "No, don't..." "What is war?" "Tell me, what?" "This here, my son." "Jenö?" "Jenö Baradlay?" "We have reliable information that he fled to the enemy." "Together with his mother he managed to cross the frontline of the Pallwitz armoured troops." "This happened three weeks ago." "By the way, Major Ottó Pallwitz fell on the same day in a duel he had with Richard, the other Baradlay." "It's not true!" "It's not true!" " Baroness!" " It's not true!" "Please, baroness!" "Damn them!" "A curse on them!" "He used to be a good friend of ours." "He often came to visit." "L $88." "One Baradlay left me." "The other killed the only man I ever loved." "The Baradlays are your enemies, too." "They have insulted me." "The Hungarians have always done me wrong." "You are Hungarian, but..." "I am the emperor's follower." "I must hate the rebels." "You will help me." "I swear I will take revenge." "I'll pay back the Baradlays." "I'll wipe out the whole damned family." "The Emperor put me in Count Windischgrätz's place in a time of crisis." "Our army is withdrawing." "You've put it very mildly, Your Excellency." "We practically have no army units in Hungarian territories." "If the situation doesn't improve, we'll have to concentrate all our forces to the protection of Vienna." "The enemy has brought their heavy artillery to the vicinity of Komárom." "The Hungarian high command must be preparing to besiege Vienna." "Gentlemen, this is baffling." "Report to Headquarters in Bratislava." "The Hungarian army has begun the siege of the surrounded Buda Castle." "Without heavy artillery?" "That's suicide." "We have run out of ammunition." "A Hussar!" "A Hungarian Hussar." "Prepare some food, quick." "Good morning, Master." "So here you are!" "So you've come!" "Come on, please don't shout." "How did you get here, sir, your excellency, general?" "Field marshal, Arc-angel St. Michael!" "Your highness, come in, please." " When are the others coming?" " They'll come in due course." "Are there any Germans around?" "The last one ran away at dawn." "There are only a few left in the castle." "Can I speak to Master Boros?" "I am boot maker Boros myself." "At your service." "This way." "Come on up." "The woman's name was Bajcsik, as I said." "The child she brought from Vienna must have been six months old." "She said, the child belonged to her relatives." "Help yourself." "We've hidden enough from the imperial troops, just help yourself." "And did she disappear together with the child?" "She kept coming to Buda." "She traded odd things." "And one day she didn't come back." "Do you want to earn 200 forints, in an honest way?" "What am I supposed to do?" "Get into the castle, see Mrs. Bajcsik and find out what happened to the child." "The baby must be of noble blood, three months ago an officer was here, enquiring about it." "He promised me 1000 forints if I'd find the child." "But for you, Captain, I'll do it free of charge." "In case of an attack from Pest, I'll be forced to batter down the whole city by artillery fire." "Signed by General Hentzi." "Well, gentlemen, you have heard the ultimatum of the Austrian commander of Buda." "I want to hear your opinion." "We have to finish the siege as soon as possible." "I'd say, we should begin it at last." "We have to attack from Pest, too." "Shall we sacrifice the city?" "What can we gain by that?" "That we can capture Buda with a single attack." " We must attack on the steep slope." " Right." "That's where we are least expected." "To risk the life of many hundred civilians?" "And a value of 50 million?" "The success of the whole campaign will be in danger if we waste a whole month on the siege." "This hit something nearby." "We have to make a decision." "I'm for an immediate attack, too." "Our artillery is not strong enough for an immediate, a general attack." "And the force of surprise?" "With strategic calculations" "I don't take the fear of the enemy into account." " Not even the valour of our own troops?" " No." "A siege is pure mathematics." "You're a coward like all other civilians." "Nobody has ever called me that." "You can't do that, either without retaliation." "That one hit the first floor." "The Headquarters has been betrayed." "Spies are working in the city." "General, Hentzi is shelling Pest." "The embankment is in flames." "Hentzi has decided the matter." "He is shelling Pest anyway." "I vote for an immediate attack." "Here we are." "This has been going on since morning." "They want to blast Pest into pieces." "Well, here is the 1000 forint child, as fit as a fiddle." "Here you are, Captain." "What shall I do with it?" "Look, captain." "Someone's signalling from that house." "A candlelight wandering from window to window." "I'll go take a look." "Feed the prince in the morning." "There's enough light in here." "It's time we put out that candle." "Leave me alone." "I have ten thousand Forints on me." "So you could afford those candles, right?" "What do you want, I haven't done anything." "Just that." "The losses of the besieging Hungarian army are substantial." "The superior artillery of the defenders have repelled all attacks." "And here's the latest report, gentlemen." "The Hungarian artillery has concentrated its heavy assault guns outside the capital." "They are already on their way." "And so the immediate danger threatening Vienna is over." "The mistakes of our military command have been corrected by the mistake of the Hungarians." "The Hungarians want glory and so they bring about their own defeat..." "In half an hour I will lead the volunteers up on the bastions." "I may never come back." "I regret what I said." "Forgive me, brother." "I'm not angry with you." "But you've offended me." "You must fight a duel with me." "A duel between brothers?" "No." "A revolutionary duel, worthy of brothers who love but cannot forgive each other." "I don't understand." "You'll attack from the castle garden." "I'll lead the National Guard against the Circle." "One of us will be up on the bastion first." "The first one wins." "Excuse me, Herr Pallwitz but I'll need that today." "Follow me!" "Come on!" "Long live the country." "Come on!" "Careful." "Follow me." "Good morning sir." "Let me go first." "Clear the way." "It's better if I go." "I have nobody in this world." "Attention." "Salute." " What happened?" " Something that has never before." "I'll die." "Surrender!" "Surrender!" "Follow me!" "Here we are, Richard." "Brother!" "Brother!" "The castle is ours." "So it is." "Hentzi's been defeated." "You've won." "I hope you are satisfied." "Murderers." "They shelled Pest." "Shoot the officers." "Stop!" "Boys." "You've fought like lions." "Now you should be human beings." "After capturing the Buda castle the Hungarian army set out in a North-Western direction yesterday." "Too late." "They cannot make up for the 3 weeks they've lost." "I have a terrible headache." "Colonel, issue the general order." "His Majesty has appointed me commander of the whole imperial army stationed in Hungary and gave me the position of governor as well." "We have won the war." "Order will soon be restored." "The government of the people to the people." "Our country is in danger." "Because of the war the government and the parliament move out of Pest-Buda." "And on 13th August 1849, at the village of Világos, the Hungarian army surrendered to the enemy." "Flog him!" "Hang him!" "Hang him!" "Hang him!" "Hang him!" "I'm a prisoner, just like you." "I'm writing this letter from the Plankenhorst house." "I am a prisoner." "Yours and of the avenging devils." "God save you." "Sit down, baroness." "What can I do for you?" "Imperial Commissioner Rideghváry, an old friend of our family suggested that I turn to you, sir." "What do you know about Rideghváry?" "We haven't heard from him since the siege of Buda." "Before he left he said your appointment to chief commander was only a matter of days." "He asked me to be of help to you." "How can you be of help?" "I have confidential information about Hungarian rebel leaders." "I know where they are." "These data may help your mopping-up operations, Field Marshal." "Run away." "Hide." "I can't." "I have to assume responsibility." "That's crazy." "You have a wife." "A child." "I ought to have stayed with my fellow prisoners, the 13 generals." "I ran away." "I wanted to see you once again." "I escaped, blushing, ashamed." "No, I can't carry on like this any longer." "I have sent the letter to Pest, and gave my word that I will wait for the summons there." "A surprising letter, sir." "What impertinence is this?" "To write in Hungarian?" "Where is the translation?" "The contents of the letter:" "Revolutionary Commissioner Baradlay gives himself up voluntarily." "He also gives his rank and awaits the orders of the authorities." "Summon him before a court martial." "Inform baroness Plankenhorts in Vienna." "Ask her to send me all information she has about Baradlay." "Yes, sir." "A gendarme has brought an official letter with a stamp." "Come in." "An official letter from Pest." "To me?" "Are you Eugén von Baradlay?" "The letter is addressed to Eugén von Baradlay." "I am Eugén von Baradlay." "Here you are." "I have to travel." "Uncle Gergely." "Yes?" "Harness the horses and pack food for several days." "YES." "Where are you going and what for?" "Don't ask questions." "I have the right." "I am my own master." "But you are a son and a brother." "That's precisely why I have to leave." "Don't cross-question me!" "One of my sons is in prison, the other prepares to face his fate." "I must know what the third one is doing?" "Today, I am still the head of our family." "I demand an answer!" "I can't stand idle and just watch what's happening." "The Baradlay house is collapsing, and will crush us all." "Everything is lost." "You can't help any longer, it's my turn now." "I forbid you!" "You don't know what you're forbidding!" "But I do." "You want to marry the Plankenhorst girl to save your brothers with that family's influence." "At that price, I don't wish to live." "Neither I, nor Richard." "Don't you trust me either?" "Do you condemn me?" "Do what you think is right." "Do what your heart tells you." "I'll do that." "I have only one way." "I can't choose anything else." "Believe me!" "If my suspicion is correct, stop us worrying." "Show us the letter." "This letter is addressed to Eugén von Baradlay, and that is me." "You are secretive." "You are stubborn." "Well, go and leave me here, in despair." "But two of my sons are on the steps to the scaffold and I am not mourning them, but you, who will remain alive." "Mark my words." "I love you..." "Are you Eugén von Baradlay?" "Yes I am." " Married, father of one child." " Yes." "You were a government commissioner with the insurgents' army?" "Until the day of surrender." "Are you the Baradlay who, at an open county assembly expelled the governor of the county appointed by the Emperor?" "Answer, please." "I am." "In the days of the Vienna revolution, you led a Hungarian delegation to Vienna and there you delivered an inciting speech at the imperial city." "I was the speaker of the delegation." "There you said these words:" ""we have to take up arms, and we won't lay them down until we have broken the power of the oppressors"." "Step nearer." ""We are just at the outset of the battle..." and so on." "Did you say that at a public rally?" "Thank you." "Answer!" "Were these your words?" "My words." "I spoke them in the way it is noted down." "You have two brothers, Richard and Edmond." "You are the eldest, aren't you?" "Among my brothers I am the eldest." "Using the prestige of an elder brother, you persuaded your younger brother Richard to desert." "Or perhaps it was not you?" "Then your mother." "No one else had the means to do so." "I did it." "You speak the truth, our just take the blame for your mother?" "It happened the way the Colonel described." "Colonel, may I ask the defendant to be confronted with Captain Baradlay." "Bring over prisoner Richard Baradlay." "I am against the confrontation." "The law forbids those biased against a defendant to be questioned as a witness." "Is Richard biased against me?" "In the insurgents' camp everyone knew and it was widely discussed that you had a dispute at the last military council." "You even fought a duel." "Perhaps you don't remember?" "It was a revolutionary duel." "You got up the bastion first so you won the duel." "Say something." "We were living in extraordinary times." "There is no need for explanations." "Answer the question." "Was that how it happened?" "Yes, or no?" "Prisoner Richard Baradlay has been led forth." "Let him wait outside." "Well?" "Did it happen like this?" "It did." "Yes, it did, just as the Captain said." "We fought a duel with Richard." "The Military Council refrains from questioning" "Richard Baradlay as a witness." "Take him back to his cell." "Eugén von Baradlay." "This is strange." "Very strange." "You give hesitant answers as if you had forgotten the whole thing." "You don't remember such a feat of daring?" "Colonel." "The Baradlays never brag." "All right." "Let's continue." "You persuaded your younger brother to unfaithfully leave the service of the chancellery and return home." "I called Edmond home, too." "Edmond?" "That's your younger brother, isn't it?" "Edmond." "In Hungarian?" "In Hungarian, it's Jenö." "I called Edmond, my younger brother, home, to ensure that my wife and child were not left alone." "Isn't there a confusion here with the names?" "I have already heard people arguing about such a thing." "Doesn't the name Ödön stand for Edmond and Jenö for Eugén?" "I am Eugén and my younger brother is Edmond" "We should know, Colonel." "Well, you should know your own names best." "Anyway, let's finish the point we started." "You called your younger brother, Edmond to return home." "He was engaged." "Is that so?" "His fiancee was a baroness in Vienna." "A baroness in Vienna." "And your younger brother?" "He went home when you called him?" "Didn't he love his fiancée?" "Colonel!" "I am not inquisitive about other people's affairs or emotions and sentiments, even if it concerns my brother." "We have concluded." "One last question:" "Eugén von Baradlay, do you repent your of fence against your lawful sovereign?" "Do you plead guilty?" "I do not repent what I did." "I plead guilty under your laws." "Is there anything else you wish to tell us in your defence?" "I haven't got anything else to say." "The Court Marshall retires to deliberate." "Yes." "My mother found out at the chancellery" "That the messenger will arrive tomorrow with the order." "What order?" "Your dismissal." "I don't understand." "Foreign embassies are protesting against the mass executions." "The Ministry now alleges that I am over zealous, bloodthirsty," "and that an iron-hand is no longer needed." "Others should take over, elegant men, with white gloves." "Thanks for the warning." "Baroness, leave me alone." "But tonight the fate of everyone is still in your hands." "Two Baradlays and other rebellious persons are in your prisons." "Tonight, with one sweep of a hand..." "One of the Baradlays..." "The Court Marshal have sentenced Eugén von Baradlay to death by shooting." "Carry out the sentence." "Count Fürstenberg." "Every court should convene." "I want all sentences by 3 a.m." "By 4 all the culprits should be read their sentence." "That's all!" "Yes, sir." "Once again, thank you very much Baroness." "At what time does the ship for Vienna leave?" "At 5.40." "Please take my luggage and knock on my door exactly at five." "Yes, Baroness." "Good night." "Have you got all the sentences?" "Yes, sir. 120 cases." "All deaths, except two." "Every clerk must work." "Everything must be here in 15 minutes for signature." "On every file, there should be a general pardon clause." "I don't think I heard you correctly, sir?" "You heard it correctly!" "A general pardon clause!" " Fulfil the order!" " Yes, sir." "Here." "Here." "Here." "Carry on with the game, Minister." "Or start a new one if you like." "I have killed them." "I have ruined the whole family, mother." "One of the Baradlays fell from the execution squad's bullets when I visited the Field Marshal."

"How did you get here?" "I received a pardon." "I was told I owed it to you." "Me!" "Me?" "I have come to express my thanks." "And to take Edit."

"So don't mourn me." "My dear Aranka." "Your sweet words resound in my soul today," ""do what your heart tells you." That's what I'm doing." "Forgive me for dying." "Dear Edmund." "Today, I have completed what I have lived for." "I will die for my principles." "Our blood does not fall on ungrateful land."
