All language subtitles for Heimat.Part.4.Reichshöhenstraße.1984

This is the older generation
of the Simon family.

Mathias and Katharina.

They were born
around 1870 in Schabbach.

That's our village.

They had three children,
lanky Eduard...

Pauline...

and Paul.

Mathias was the village blacksmith...

like his father, his grandfather
and his great grandfather.

That's Eduard. He made it big.

He became the district ma yor.

His wife, Lucie, was from Berlin.

She always
wanted him to be somebody.

She always wanted something better.

They built a villa with 52 windows.

They borrowed the money
from a Jewish bank...

so the rumour went.

That's me and Wiegand.

He had the first telephone
in the village.

What did he do with it?
Speak to his son in Berlin, Wilfried.

That's him on the photo.

He was in Berlin with the SS.

And there we go...

That's Christmas 1935.

And what had he brought from Berlin?
A Christmas tree.

"Dr Goebels
bought the very next one"...

he said...

as if there weren't enough
Christmas trees in the woods.

Eduard took snap after snap.

We had the best Christmas ever,
with a roast goose!

And Lucie...

All she cared about was her villa,
her most prized possession.

She always said...

"The villa is like a harbour
waiting for the big ships."

And they came too...

Rosenberg, Frick and Ley...

top people in those days,
Nazi bosses they were.

They spent three hours in the villa.

As for all the food...

in the end,
they had to eat it themselves.

Oh yes, Maria...

At that time,
she only lived for her kids...

Anton and Ernst.

Sometimes you'd think
she'd forgotten her husband Paul...

who'd gone missing
over 10 years ago.

That was winter 1938, yes.

THE HIGHWAY

Alone am I in the night.

My soul has taken Hight.

Oh heart, do you know why...

all the palm trees sigh?

The wind has brought me a song...

about a love strong.

What my heart needs, it knows;

For whom it beats and glows.

See Zarah's apron?
Hand-embroidered.

- Do you think she made it?
- No, they have people for that.

She's in a new film With Viktor Staal
To New Shores.

We'll come and see it.

You're so lucky, Pauline,
having a cinema around the corner.

It's lucky
there's no cinema in Schabbach...

or We'd never get to bed.

Let's go home.

We'll put Gabi
in bed With Robenchen...

then you can sleep there.

Oh, Maria,
if We didn't have the children.

Look, Pauline, they've got three.

Yes, Maria,
but We two together have four.

Pauline, I get really carried away
by a film like that.

When Zarah Leander...
She's from Sweden, you know...

When she falls
for the bullfighter...

Where's Roben got to?

He went to Idar-Oberstein
to buy stock for the business.

It's late. Aren't you scared?

No, he went in the car.

But, Pauline, With all that gold
and silver in the car.

That's good stuff.

If only We could be young over again.

I saw a hat recently, in blue Velvet,
With a little feather.

I tell you, I almost Weakened.

Know something? I Wish I had the
courage to stad again from scratch.

Somewhere far away in the World.

That's how I feel.

Don't laugh.
You don't believe me, do you?

Sometimes I think
I've never really lived at all yet.

But you've got two children,
almost grown up.

Anton is taller that you are.

When I saw him this morning...

I thought,
"That might be my little brother."

It's all like another life.

Paul... and the time that's passed.

Maria, that's just the Wine.

Just once in my life,
I'd like a trip to Italy.

Venice, Naples and Lake Garda.

Roben doesn't understand that.

He could leave the shop
to his assistant for a fonnight.

But he thinks it can't do
Without him.

He wouldn't sleep a Wink, away.

I've heard that for the highway
thousands more men

from Thuringia and Saxony
are coming to the Hunsrück.

Wohlleben, the engineer, told me.

You know,
the man Who's lodging With us.

You have no idea
the money they spend in our shop.

And they only Want
genuine gold and silver anicles...

and real Stones, too.

Rolled gold is out of the question.

Those lovely rhinestones
that We've always sold a lot of...

they say, "No cheap stuff for us,
We Want something expensive."

They say the road from Koblenz
to Trier Will be built in a year.

- Do you believe that?
- Why not?

Don't tell anyone.

Swear not to,
then I'll show you something.

I swear.

And the coat, Pauline, it's a dream.

Put it on.

I bought it With Roben in Koblenz.

I haven't dared to Wear it.

You look like Zarah Leander.
Stand back a bit.

When you look over your shoulder...

With the light from the lamp.

You just told a lie...

about the hat.

You bought it, didn't you?

You're right, Maria.

For some months,
ldivened money from the till.

Roben didn't notice.

He doesn't know
What these things cost.

A deer nearly collided With my car.

What are you so merry about?

We went to the pictures.

Show me What you've bought.

Bracelets.

Good, the amber jewellery is there,
and the pearl necklaces.

They're in such demand.
That's good, Robert.

And the rose Crystal bracelet
for Frau Sulzbacher;

She'll be so pleased.

And here are the rings.

They're nice, too.
You've done Well.

I found a manufacturer.

Who Will supply
these for 3.30 marks each.

Silver, hallmarked.

- We can sell them for...
- 9.50 marks, I'd say.

You didn't hear that, Maria.

They're frightening.

Those red eyes seem to stare at you.

Those cost 12 marks each;
The eyes are real rubies.

Who buys stuff like that?

That's the bestselling item ever.

The Hunsrück road Workers...

all the engineers
and the Labour Corps...

the Todt Organization men,
they keep buying death's head rings.

Death's head brooches, pendants

and even death's head ear-rings.

For their Wives
in Erfun and Leipzig.

They feel guilty
about being unfaithful.

I think
the Wine has gone to my head.

Now, good night and sweet dreams.

Roben and I Will be very quiet,
not to disturb you.

That's 1,275 marks, Pauline.

That's 138 marks more
than yesterday.

See, Roben,
the business runs even Without you.

They prefer to buy from a Woman;
I'd better serve alone in the shop.

Then I can
really flash my eyes at them.

They don't dilly-dally.

When they look into my eyes,
they buy.

I've noticed that, too, Pauline.

- Look, how do you like it?
- Just say that again.

- How do you like it?
- Your voice is just like Zarah's.

Robenchen, are you awake?

I knocked the towel down.

You're Wide awake.

I'm taking a photograph.

What's in your picture?

Left, the site office.
Right, the can.

Centre, Herr Wohlleben.

Why is he standing on his head?

It has to be like that.

If you like, I'll make you a copy
of the picture.

What a state you're in, Anton.

Mother,
I must go into the dark room.

Where have you been this time?

Maria, this Was the last time.

You can hardly get the stuff
into the car.

I hope it's the right one, at least.

Let's see.

Yes, Viking-K 2.

That's What
Ernst Wanted from the Catalogue.

Do you know
it cost more than 70 marks?

70 marks for a glider!

Wilfried, it's no concern of yours
What I buy for my children.

From my money.

You should worry.

The boy is technically gifted,
and he gets What he wants.

Then send him to the Hitler Youths,
they make things.

He doesn't like going there...

and he needn't
if it's no fun for him.

It's not a question of fun.

Fun keeps you going in life.

You can't just have fun in life.

Idaren't think
how you spoil your children.

I don't spoil them.

They learn things this Way,
that's What it's about.

It's more imponant
than marching and singing.

Just add it all up.

The Märklin building set
and three boxes of accessories.

The Kosmos building set,
the steam engine.

Anton's photography
and now Ernsfs second model glider.

Bigger and bigger.

Soon, you'll be able to sit in one.

And I Want Anton
to have the film apparatus

and the lens grinder.

And Ernst is getting
that fat book about aerodynamics.

You can bring the glider With you.

A drive to Koblenz for a glider
that Will crash in ten minutes.

70 marks!

Wilfried, it's not your business,
drop the subject.

Then send someone else
to Koblenz.

I will,
I'm going there very soon.

You can afford it.

Yes, believe me, I can.

You now Why?
Because you're paying for it.

That's all of my inheritance
I'm claiming at present.

You're not the sole heir.

I'm not only my children's mother,
I'm their father.

You'll see, I'm making sure
they become something.

That they have fun out of life.

I want them to get
What they're entitled to.

I don't Want them to be like me...

forced into things
by circumstances.

Yes, Well, good evening.

- Where have you sprung from?
- My laboratory.

Look how pale he is.

In the army, in 3 years' time...

he'll Collapse
if he has to double about.

The children must do more sport.

How about your spons badge, Anton?

We can ride a bike
instead of swimming.

You can't swim?

Leave Anton in peace.

You'll find out
Where that attitude gets you.

Your fingers aren't clean.

Isn't that Herr Wohlleben?

The next must be smaller,
because the Wings taper.

I'll draw it for you.

Uncle Otto, I'll shoot you down.

We'll see about that.

Come on, Ernst, bed.

Look how far We've got.

Aren't you bothering Her Wohlleben
in his free time?

You've one of those rings, too.
Lots of people are Wearing them.

I didn't think
I'd see you With one.

They're alike, but they mean
something different to every Wearer.

Now, bedtime. Shoes off.

Everything Was fine until you came.

Don't you feel Well?

I'm alright, just tired.

Come on, bread and cheese,
then off to bed.

Go on the meadow With that,
or it Will get smashed.

- But I can run about With it.
- Yes.

Frau Simon, isn't it a lovely day?

Yes, it Would be
a nice day for a trip.

He should hold the marker venically,
Pieritz.

Oh God! The other direction.

They've sent us another Saxon.

I didn't hear that, Herr Wohlleben.

He's asleep.

How Were the angles?

- Mark 1.
- PP 23.

Mark 2.

That's nice.

- Why nice?
- Very nice, Pieritz.

Give me Mark 1 again.

Take your time, Pieritz.

Want to look?

Something nice and warm
in this cold place.

Cut out the stupid remarks, Pieritz.

Look, isn't that the glider...

you constructed With the boy?

You're not With the newsreel.

It flew very Well.

Now look at the spirit-level.

Frau Simon, can you hear me?

Forgive me
for disturbing you so late.

Herr Wohlleben
had an accident at Work.

He is in the car.

Please let us in.

At once.

Excuse us, Frau Simon.
We've come from Simmern.

What happened,
for heaven's sake?

Just imagine...

I Was beside Herr Wohlleben,
just looking through the theodolite.

Suddenly, the Whole stand fell over.

I saved the theodolite...

but the stand hit Herr Wohlleben.

Is anything broken?

You should have heard
What the hospital sister said.

We're special.

A Complicated multiple fracture,
she said.

Fractured in three places.

But he wouldn't stay in hospital.

But I can soon take you back there,
no trouble.

Have you eaten anything?

Will you have something, too?

Thank you,
but I think I'd better go.

What's going on?

Go to bed, Mother.
Everything is alright.

Herr Wohlleben has been injured
but I'll tell you tomorrow.

Then We'll do it another Way.

What Was going on?

Mathias, lefs get back to sleep.

I think We must look after
Maria's children a bit more.

She must have
more time to herself.

She's had such a hard time of it
all these years.

Can you help me?
I think I've lost my Way a bit.

You've gone completely astray, lady.

Didn't you see the barrier?

Am I hearing right?
You must be a countryman of mine.

- I'm from Kölleda.
- And I'm from Glauchau, next to it.

Someone's having me on.

This road
is marked as open on the map.

Impossible.
Here We are slaving away...

and it's shown as finished.

Where did you get this joke?

In Berlin.

They're in a hurry.

- Where are you bound?
- Trier, to see Jesus' Holy Robe.

But my friend Lucie
lives near here...

so I thought
I'd make a little detour.

Are you Catholic?

Not very,
but the Holy Robe helps others, too.

How do I get out of here
in one piece?

Herr Wohlleben,
shall We carry her over?

That's some undenaking, eh?

Something like this
is no problem for us.

What brought you here
to the end of the World...

you muscle men?

Don't you ever get
a bit of fun here sometimes?

Work, eat, sleep, and once a Week
a National Socialist Pany directive.

And sometimes a little song.

Doesn't anyone make you
Saxony potato cakes for afters?

Only pork belly and meatballs.

And When someone belches,
you lose your appetite.

Listen, my dears, my friend Lucie...

has a huge villa and I'll tell her
and you'll all be invited...

and I'll make
potato cakes for you.

Give me your address.

- You're Otto Wohlleben?
- No, that's our engineer.

He's got the telephone
in the site hut.

Well, take care.
Thanks a lot and I'll see you soon.

Lads, give her a push.

Would you like to sit
on the hard side or the soft side?

The hard side, it's safer.

I thought it Was "Tod",
the Death Organization.

No, it's "Todt",
With a hard T at the front...

and a soft D
and a hard T at the end.

Well, now I know.

Everybody's Wearing these rings now.
You, too.

The rings are private.

You said they mean
something different to everybody.

What does it mean for you?

Herr Wohlleben's sitting
With Frau Simon.

What are you thinking of now?

Of a Woman?

You're right,
there is a Woman in my life.

And now there's you, too.

It's got me all muddled up.

Is she beautiful?

Yes, She's beautiful.

And She's far away.

I can't get used to it.

I've seen her.

I looked
in the bedside table drawer...

and she Was lying there.

Are you angry With me now?

No, Maria, I'm not.

It's not a very nice story.
You see, She's my cousin.

We're staning. Shut the door.

What is it?

Newsreel Number 1, 1938.

A balloon
being prepared for ascent...

and the Führefs tribute
to the faithful.

- What's the Führer babbling?
- The Führer doesn't babble.

See the strip on the left?
That's the sound track.

You hear it in the cinema.

One day
I'll add sound to my projector.

Fifteen cars
at the Nürburgring start.

Caracciola's leading...

pursued by Rosemeyer.

Now Rosemeyefs leading.

That Was car 27.
Caracciolafs in car 28.

But for the first twenty minutes
We won't see anything.

We don't know their speed.

There'll be no storm, don't worry.
I can tell by my cellar steps.

But We're here at the Nürburgring...

and I'm telling you
that Caracciola Will Win the race.

Rubbish! Make me a pork sandwich,
Will you?

Speaking to Saxony, Thuringia...

Australia,
New Zealand and other islands.

A direct broadcast
from the Nürburgring.

Hallo, come in, South Bend.

This is South Bend.

There's a huge crowd
cheering on the cars.

On my left, 8000.
On my right, 8000.

That makes 88.000 watching me.

- Here comes another one.
- They can't be here yet, Pauline.

Hallo, Carousel, come in.

Nothing's going around
at Carousel yet.

Pieritz is quite a comic, isn't he?

In a cloud of dust
and exhaust fumes...

that's the Mercedes
of von Brauchitsch.

He's ovenaking Lang.

This is Stan and Finish.
The crowd's Wild With enthusiasm.

In the seats of honour
We can see the Reich representatives.

Hermann Göring,
the motor-racing fan...

next to Rudolf Hess
and Gauleiter Simon.

They'rejust like us...

joining in a really popular event.

Here they come!

Von Brauchitsch has ovenaken
his stablemate Biondetti.

Maria, What Was that?

Paul Greize from Sul
really did go by in a BMW.

Pieritz is a card, eh?

And I didn't see it.

Greize has also gone past.

When she comes down We'll all
get a good look at her speciality.

Her potato cakes?

Reinforcements!

Eat up, there's plenty,
but mind, they're hot.

Miss Manina, your speciality
has given us a lot of pleasure.

You're a ray of Sunshine.
We don't have much fun here.

I understand, my dears.

Far from home
and no loving hand available.

Manina, please come in.

At once, madam.

I've been telling you
since yesterday...

but you pay no attention.

Don't keep saying
"Edu, my darling" to my Eduard.

And don't keep calling me madam.

OthenNise you'll have to leave,
sorry as I am.

It just slips out.
LWasn't hinting at anything.

You simply have to realize
Where you are.

You're right, Lucie.

This lovely house...

the expensive furnishing,
all these rooms.

I keep thinking of
how it Was in Berlin...

the two of us and the girls.

But you've got it much nicer here,
Lucie.

Different, Manina.
It's different.

And if you think to lure men here
With potato cakes, you're wrong.

Lucie, just one or two.

It's for my savings,
nobody Will notice.

And the poor chaps
need it occasionally.

Stop that son of talk.

Here in the Hunsrück
there's none of that son of thing.

It's not even thought of.

Have you understood, Manina?

Have you understood?

Yes, madam.

Thank you for collecting the plates.
Put them down anywhere.

Best Wishes from Miss Manina,
and I Wish you all the best, too.

Leave them, I've got a maid for that.
Just put them down there.

What Eduard means is the credit
We built our house With.

Bielstein of the Jewish bank...

has been arrested
for foreign exchange fiddling.

Now Eduard's scared the pany
Will find out about our loan.

But the Pany's said nothing...

and We've heard nothing
from the Jew, either.

Nobody wants the money.

That's the trouble.

That's the trouble.
Something's brewing.

If anything happens to Bielstein...

I don't Want to be guilty
of his death.

Besides, debts are debts.

It's immaterial
to whom you owe the money.

I always say
Eduard Simon got into debt...

through building up the movement.

And the law of 29th August
for the cancellation of old debts...

has settled the matter Officially;
The Führer gave the order.

Lucie, Manina isn't the authorities.

Thank God, at least We've
one human being in the house.

Those Were marvellous times
in Berlin With you.

I thought I could bring a bit of that
into my home...

for ever.

- Do you still need me, madam?
- No, Gudrun, you can go to bed.

An angel flew by.

This is the precise moment
that time ought to stand still.

Everything We've achieved
ought to remain just so.

The new highway,
the Whole new life.

And it ought to remain for ever,
for everyone.

And We shouldn't Want
any more at all.

And everyone Would remain healthy,
everyone We know.

Including Bielstein,
With his bank in Mainz.

Then you'd have debts again.

Manina, I haven't seen my parents
for five years.

That's how long
I've not been in Berlin.

Have you stood it for so long?

I'd like to have them here.

We've so many empty rooms,
they've really earned it.

They all worked so hard.
We all worked hard, didn't We?
