(calm music)

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:20,480
(mysterious melody)

5
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,520
(dull timpani blows)

6
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,480
(a woman hums)

7
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,600
(man, from far away:) Light!

8
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,480
(from far:) Light!

9
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,280
(seagulls screeching from far away)

10
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,080
Lamp, where are you?!

00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,920
<font color="white">(rippling water)</font>

12
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,720
(Light:) Come here.

13
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,920
Laaaampje!

14
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,600
(voice over:)
Actually, Lamp is not called Lamp...

15
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,240
but Emilia.
Away with you.

16
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,640
Just like her mother.

17
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,200
But her father used to think
it's always difficult...

18
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,040
<font color="white">if two people looked up</font>
if only he called one.

19
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,720
And later he really wanted that name
never hear again.

20
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,000
So he calls her...

21
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,560
Light!
Light.

22
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,880
(calm piano music)

23
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,760
Lampje lives with her father Augustus
in the lighthouse...

24
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,920
<font color="white">at the big beach,</font>
where something always washes up.

25
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,000
Her father used to make it often
a fire...

26
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,280
and boats came out of the harbor
collided with pirates.

27
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,760
Then they sat around the fire,
ate roasted fish...

28
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,480
and sang all night long.

29
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,560
<font color="white">But now no one is coming</font>
sing more...

30
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,640
and fires on the beach
Her father doesn't make it anymore either.

31
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,720
(splash)

32
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,720
(father:) Light!

33
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,320
(whispers:) One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven...

34
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,920
eight, nine, ten.

35
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,480
<font color="yellow">One, two, three, four.</font>

36
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,280
(softly:) Forgotten matches.

37
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,800
It must be light before evening falls
burning in the lighthouse...

38
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,880
so that ships don't crash
sailing on the rocks.

39
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,520
(Light, whispering:)
57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64...

41
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,120
(sigh of fright)

42
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,640
(softly:) Do your best,
otherwise I will throw you into the sea.

43
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,080
(clear sound)

44
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,560
(dumper sound)

45
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:26,360
(sound play)

46
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,600

00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,480
(father:) Aaah.

52
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,680
Ahhh.

53
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,720
(difficultly:) Jellyfish piss.

54
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:33,640
Come stand.

55
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,000
(the father groans softly)

56
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,320
(with a grunt:) Wrah.

57
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,960
(Light blows)

58

Come.

69
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,240
I'll sing one more song
and then you go to sleep.

70
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,280
Otherwise you won't be worth anything tomorrow.

becomes different, starts with no wind.

82

hears the seagulls calling.

Light, is the light on yet?

89
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,000
Yes, almost.

Not on yet?

103
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,080
Sit by the stove.

104
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,040
Dry clothes and warm milk.
You're not going into that storm again.

105
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:32,560
I have to. Two boxes of matches
please. And whether you want to write it down.

106

(woman:) Frederik, who is there?

00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,480
Lighthouse lamp?

110
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,960
How many Lights do you know, human?

111
00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:51,800
(Mrs. Rozenhout sighs)
Here. A piece.

112
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,080
Hmmm.

113
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,880
Tasty?
M-hm. Well done.

114
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:03,920
<font color="white">Put it in your boots.</font>

115
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,200
And then you hang them by the stove.

116
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,200
No, thank you.

117
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,560

(church bell rings)

119
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,120
(voice over:)
The wind chases the sea.

120
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:28,920
The light must be on, but the path
has disappeared into the waves.

00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,280
Light!

126
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,640
Why isn't the light on?!

127
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,400
Light?!

128
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,000
(he groans strangled)

129
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,320
(crackling thunder)

130
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,120
(Light groans anxiously)

131
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,480

(muffled underwater sounds)

135
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,960

(guitar music)

138
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,480
(voice-over:) And as always comes
the next day the sun rises again.

139
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:25,600
The water is still in the bay
<font color="white">as if it is a little ashamed.</font>

(seagulls calling from far away)

142
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,160
(Light:) Mom?

143
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,240
Mom?

144
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,480
Am I dead?

145
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,880
(mother:) No, dear.

146
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,120
(the seagulls are calling from far away)
<font color="yellow">Can you hear the seagulls?</font>

147
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,080
Is Dad very angry?

148
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,000
Hmmm...

149
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,360
I tried so hard.

150
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,000
You were very brave.

151
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:22,280
Come on, come on then.
You get sick in your wet clothes.

152
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,680
(whistle of the wind
and noise of the sea)

153
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,120
Dad?

154

<font color="white">Dad?</font>

A ship sank last night.

156
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,240
Listen and repeat:

157
00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:30,440
My father is up all night
been busy...

158
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,160
to repair the lamp.

159
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,160
But that's lying.
The lamp was not broken.

160
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,920
What should I say then?

161
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:45,400
<font color="yellow">This girl forgot the matches</font>
to get? It's her fault?

162
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:58,240
My father is
been busy all night...

163
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:02,200
to fix the lamp, because it was broken.

164
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,160
Well, you're still alive.

165
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,800
(coughing sounds from far away)

166
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,960
He still ran after you,
<font color="white">yesterday. To bring you his coat.</font>

167
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,880
And now he is barking in bed.
(cough)

168
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,120
And who can take care of him?
and also do some shopping?

169
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,640
(cough)

170
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,920
One box of matches please
and whether you want to write it down.

171
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,880
Again?

172
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,120
<font color="white">Do you know how much is left?</font>

173
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:49,280
Potatoes, two and a half bags.

174

Eight liters of milk.
Eight!

175
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,080
Beans, six loaves of bread,
three currant buns.

176
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,040
What do you mean, curmudgeons like you?
can't even afford bread?

177
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,800
I'm not even talking about that yet
<font color="white">the drink. What's there.</font>

178
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,400
I will bring money tomorrow.
Really, but I need matches now.

179
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,760
The lights will have to be turned on soon.
Of course.

180
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,240
But why should we
pay for all that?

181
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:16,040
Now explain that to me.

182
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,200
And there are four packs here
<font color="white">matches, the most expensive ones too.</font>

183
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,760
(Mr. Rozenhout:) Give that
child those matches! Why should I?

184
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,840
Now!
Have you gone completely crazy?

185
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,160
Am I crazy?
You must mean yourself.

186
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,720
You give away your coat, you give the
<font color="white">half the store away, you will still see me...</font>

187
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,360
Up! You're sick!

188
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:38,280
And without slippers.
Yes, yes, yes, I won't say anything anymore.

189
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,520
Well, that would be really nice, wouldn't it?

190
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,560
Please.
Just run. Thank you.

191
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,360
Run. I'll write it down!
<font color="white">That will be five packs of matches!</font>

192
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,680
Five.

193
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,640
People are coming, Dad.

194
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,080
The school teacher and police.

195
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,480
Up you.

196
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,280
Why?

197
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,680
And you remembered
what I said, right?

198
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,640
Mr. Waterman.

199
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,280
What a storm yesterday, huh?

200
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,600
<font color="cyan">And the ship... cracked, in half.</font>

201
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,400
Yes.

202
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,720
A miracle of God
that no one drowned.

203
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,360
Do you know how much it costs?
such a ship? Yes.

204
00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:53,640
And uh... was the light on?

205
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,520
The lamp was broken. I am
been busy all night...

206
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,000
<font color="white">to fix it</font>
and this morning I...

207
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:01,880
Then you put it on?

208
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,560
Naturally.

209
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,400
August Aquarius.

210
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,760
Did you have your daughter yesterday?
sent for matches yet?

211
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,720
Much too late, when it was light
should have been on a long time ago?

212
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,120
I swear not.

213
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,680
<font color="white">I didn't send Lampje.</font>

214
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,680
(hissing:) Get out of here.
No, no, she stays here.

215
00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:28,280
Come.

216
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,600
Come closer.

217
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,640
(whispers:) Light...

218
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,360
You tell me
what happened.

219
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,480
The lamp was broken and my father is
<font color="yellow">been busy all night...</font>

220
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,360
to fix it. And then
did you go buy matches? No.

221
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,200
Mrs Rozenhout says yes.

222
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,160
Yes...

223
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,600
No, that was before
that was just for that.

224
00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:00,000
Why exactly?
<font color="cyan">Did you... did your father forget?</font>

225
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:04,600
My father can't do that
far with his leg and he was...

226
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,760
(whispers:) Don't say it.
What was he? Tired.

227
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,640
Drunk.
Well.

228
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,120
Too drunk to work.

229
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,840
No, but me
<font color="yellow">forgot the matches.</font>

230
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,360
(whispers:) No.

231
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,280
So that ship is my fault.

232
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,600
Oh, you're the lighthouse keeper?

233
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,560
And now cheer up!
Stop it, Dad!

234
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,320
No! (clap)
Ouch! (she sobs)

235
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,880
(whispers:) Light.
<font color="green">Your own daughter! Brutal.</font>

236
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,440
And you just stand there.
I'm not going to watch this anymore!

237
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,560
Not me!
Not a minute longer!

238
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,160
Light.

239
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,640
A few dresses, underwear,
nightgown and socks.

240
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,760
And something for Sunday
of course.

241
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,360
<font color="green">Give me your suitcase.</font>

242
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,120
I don't have a briefcase.

243
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,840
So, voilà.

244
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,680
Come on.

245
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,600
Don't mention it.

246
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,960
Thank you.
What would we do without you?

247
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,440
I often wonder that.

248
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,680
Hop-hop.

249
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,840
(sad music)

250
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,000
<font color="cyan">That's enough matches</font>
for seven years.

251
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:06,120
Every evening you turn on the light and...
every morning you turn it off again.

252
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,120
And every first of the month brings
he gives you four boxes of ship's biscuits.

253
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,400
And my daughter?
What happens to that?!

254
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,240
Hey!

255
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:17,960
<font color="white">When will I see my child again?</font>

256
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:21,040
Hey!

257
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,960
I'm asking you something!

258
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,680
When will I see my child again?!

259
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,360
Sooo, there you go.

260
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,400
Can I go home again?

261
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,320
Home? You can be happy
that you're out of there.

262
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,080
Everything will be fine.

263
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,440
<font color="yellow">We have weighed all interests</font>
and especially yours.

264
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,600
I want to go home. What a child wants
is not always the best.

265
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,800
Stand on your feet.

266
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,560
Well.

267
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,320
What do you think?

268
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,400
Oh.

269
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:10,120
That's true.
<font color="yellow">You can't read.</font>

270
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,040
You can go home
when the damage has been settled.

271
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,120
5000 guilders. That's what they bring
don't put your stuff on...

272
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,840
and that is why we have to work for it
become.

273
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,320
And there is just a relationship
released...

274
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:28,480
<font color="yellow">at the admiral,</font>
a very respected man.

275
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,680
It's very common that someone
starts working at your age.

276
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,600
How long should I stay there?

277
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,480
Well, if we have one guilder
say per day...

278
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,560
then that is 5000 days.

279
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,560
But if you do something on your side
<font color="yellow">and your father at his...</font>

280
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,000
then it's just like that
not even half.

281
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,040
And that is...

282
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,240
2500 days.

283
00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:00,600
And that's seven years.

284
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,560
That's an awfully long time.

285
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,720
Well, that's seven years
still to be overlooked.

286
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,280
That's really not possible.

287
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,280
<font color="white">(sob)</font>

288
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,200
It will have to be done.

289
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,080
Come on.

290
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,160
Hey?

291
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,160
(panting:) Just a little longer.

292
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,520
Step-step.

293
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,720
(a bird screams)

294
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,600
(disturbing music)

295
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,280
But that's... the Black House.

296
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,640
(dark music)

297
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:02,280
<font color="white">(bell ringing)</font>

298
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,000
A monster lives there.

299
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:11,640
Well, if it was, we'd be here
never brought a child there.

300
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,120
(voice-over:) The Black House
is just outside the city...

301
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,560
on the edge of a cliff
with his back to the sea.

302
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,240
(due to the disturbing music
<font color="white">sounds a plaintive cry)</font>

303
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:27,480
(bell rings)

304
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:33,360
And everyone knows
that a monster lives there.

305
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,680
(menacing music)

306
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:54,880
(key ring rings)

307
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,840
(gate creaks open)

308
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,960
Thank you very much.

309
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,120
Say 'thank you'.
Thank you.

310
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,240
<font color="white">(plaintive call)</font>

311
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:39,000
(long plaintive call)

312
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,480
(bell rings)

313
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,320
Cuckoo!

314
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,680
They're not home.

315
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,480
Well, about time.

316
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,080
No, no, nothing necessary.
Maybe next week.

317
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,480
Yes, yes, I'll give it to sir
when he's there...

318
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,680
<font color="cyan">but he's not here now.</font>
When will he be there?

319
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,360
I don't know.
Um...not for a while.

320
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,440
Anyway, it's all there
in the letter.

321
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,520
Just let her work hard. There
no one has ever died from it.

322
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,560
No, you're not leaving her here,
<font color="cyan">because that is not convenient.</font>

323
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,280
Lennie!

324
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,200
(stumbling)
Lennie!

325
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,560
(barking)
Lennie, keep it quiet!

326
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,000
Lennie!
(crying sounds)

327
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,120
They can here
could use some help.

328
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,480
No, it doesn't work out. Incidentally,
<font color="cyan">I still have to get changed...</font>

329
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,440
because I can do it
Not buried like that?

330
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,240
(crying wailing)

331
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,440
It doesn't work out.
No thanks, ma'am. No thanks, child.

332
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,680
That's not why I do it.

333
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,720
And you will see: Those seven years
fly by.

334
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,600
<font color="white">(door slams shut)</font>

335
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,520
(disturbing music)

336
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,800
(unsure:) Hello?

337
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,000
(sniffing sound)

338
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,000
What are you standing there now?
Go to your room!

339
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,440
I don't know where
my room is, ma'am. Madam?

340
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,480
My name is Martha, you know.
<font color="yellow">Up the stairs and into the third room on the left!</font>

341
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,560
That bed is made!

342
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,240
(door opens with a soft creak)

343
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,400
(whispers:)
One, two, three, four...

344
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,280
five, six...

345
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,080
seven.

346
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,520
(bright tap,
followed by two softer taps)

347
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,600
(Martha shouts something outside)

348
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,560
<font color="yellow">Don't wait.</font>

349
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,000
Yeah... that's not how it works.

350
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,000
This is how you walk backwards.

351
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,520
Not too fast!

352
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,880
Not too fast!

353
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:02,520
(sounds from far away
a long, plaintive call)

354
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:08,000
(the elongated call sounds louder)

355
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,360
(whispers:) Mama, a monster.

356
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,600
(mother:)
<font color="yellow">Monsters do not exist. Honey.</font>

357
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:21,080
(Light breathes hurriedly)

358
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,760
Come Lamp,
wash feet and go to bed.

359
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,720
(whispers:) But mom,
I haven't eaten anything yet.

360
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,720
Things are different today.

361
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:36,120
Come on, don't procrastinate so much.

362
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,840
(door slams shut)

363
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,960
<font color="yellow">Shall I sing you a song?</font>

364
00:32:55,080 --> 00:33:01,800
(the mother hums a melody)

365
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,280
(seagulls calling)

366
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,920
Oh! Hoooh.

367
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,680
It's just me.
(whispers:) I don't like that.

368
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,520
Sneak and scare.
Better not.

369
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,720
(stumbling and growling sounds)

370
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,360
<font color="white">(giggling laughter)</font>

371
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,200
Lennie.

372
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,920
Lennie, dog from the kitchen.

373
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,320
(the dog growls softly)

374
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,000
(whispers:) It's just a dog.

375
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,040
Lennie, come sit down.
Your porridge is getting cold.

376
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,880
That's Nick. It shines
that he can still talk.

377
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,240
<font color="white">Oh yes, another plate.</font>

378
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,280
Come here.

379
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,160
(to himself:) Mom?

380
00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:35,600
I want to go home.

381
00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:37,760
(mother:) Come on, honey.

382
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,240
Eat something, that helps.

383
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
I miss daddy so much.

384
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,760
Come.

385
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,560
Then eat.

386
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,520
A little courage
<font color="white">for the day to come.</font>

387
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,520
(sad music)

388
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,400
(Lennie laughs softly)

389
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,880
(voice-over:) From the garden
you can't see the lighthouse.

390
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,920
(seagulls calling)

391
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,200
But the seagulls do.

392
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:22,400
They fly high enough.

393
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,680
(quickly:) No. No, no, no.

394
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,400
<font color="white">(whispers fiercely:)</font>
Nobody comes there.

395
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,400
Just for a moment
looking at the lighthouse.

396
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:51,200
Upstairs is locked...
and the key is gone.

397
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,760
Come on, put that out of your mind.

398
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:00,320
(voice-over:) And exactly that
Lampje has no plans.

399
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:09,000
<font color="white">(long, plaintive call)</font>

400
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,720
Martha has been thinking for days
in that room upstairs.

401
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,800
About those old, rotten fish that live in...
the basement cupboards are stinking.

402
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,640
Now that Joseph is dead,
someone has to bring them.

403
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,720
(mother:) Go to sleep, dear.

404
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,320
<font color="white">I want to know if Dad has the light</font>
has lit.

405
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,520
Your father can
best take care of himself.

406
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,920
Another ship will soon sink.
But you can't do anything about that.

407
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,200
Shall I sing you a song?
That's not necessary.

408
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,720
(exciting music)

409
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,160
<font color="white">(from far:) </font><font color="cyan">It's me.</font>
Martha.

410
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,800
I have a stick, you know!

411
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,680
(clink
followed by a cry from Martha)

412
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,760
(Martha screams)

413
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:00,760
(shocked:) Woah!
Ooo.

414
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,000
O!

415
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,280
(panic cries)

416
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:14,800
<font color="white">(mother:) </font><font color="yellow">Light?</font>

417
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,440
Mom, it's just a dog.
Monsters don't exist.

418
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,720
You say that yourself.
Those don't exist either.

419
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,400
I have to be alone
just look at dad.

420
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,160
Leave that man.
He is old and wise enough.

421
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,520
Light.

422
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,640
<font color="yellow">I really prefer not to.</font>

423
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,640
I forbid you.

424
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:47,400
Yes, but at least mommy, daddy is there.
You're actually dead.

425
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:01,800
(exciting music)

426
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:22,960
(whispers:) One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight.

427
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,360
(rumbling and crunching)

428
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,840
(clacking sound)

429
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,680
<font color="white">(lock clicks open)</font>

430
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:58,480
(rising sound)

431
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,760
(end tune)

432
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,600
(Mother hums
along with the mysterious melody)

433
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,120
