[CONVERSING IN GERMAN] The end.

There are seven more pages, Mama.

Gerhilde, what did we
say about calling me that?

Fine... Governess.

Papa never reads us
stories when he's home.

Your papa is a very busy man.

He travels near and far.

That's why he hired me.

I heard Lady Himmelman said
he hired you because he's a...

Gerhilde, please go the f*ck to sleep.

I love you, Governess.

And I you, child.

Good night, Mama.

Sir?

[VAN KLAUSSEN] Because my stories

don't have happy endings any longer.

That's why their papa
tells them stories no more.

It is an honor to meet you.

Six months is a long time.

I'm happy to be home.

It's been hard on them
since their mother's death.

But I've been told these
past few months with you

have been the happiest
time of their life.

And mine.

[SIGHS]

I've dreamed of this
day since I came here.

But may I confess something?

I didn't come here for the children.

I came so that one day I
might get close enough to steal

the heart of the courageous
Rolf Van Klaussen.

[HARRIET MOANS GENTLY]

And I do mean steal the heart, n*zi.

Tell me where he is.

I know he's in South America;
tell me how to find him.

through São Paulo.

You've been sending them to him.
