Alba Regia Page #4

---

Well, gentlemen, I think unfortunately

the dance is over.

Let's start the complete

heart examinations!

Excuse me, for a moment!

- There is a radio in the equipment.

- What?

Excuse me. I just came

for some water.

I have heartburn

whenever I drink wine. - Here.

- What's happening! Come on!

- The patient's getting impatient!

The patient! That's good!

- It might not work. I've not used it

in a long time. - I'll fix it then!

A good communications-officer

knows how to fix everything, right?

....

- Excellent!

- Excellent!

Well, doctor?

Alba Regia...

Is that the rhythm

of your heart, buddy?

No! No! Don't turn it off!

Perhaps it will tell us more!

This guy has a Morse heart beat!

I've never seen such a thing

before!

Not now.

That was good!

What is it connected to?

- To the network.

- The network?

I'll try to triangulate it

with the car tomorrow.

I can take it apart now

if it disturbs your examinations.

- No. I hardly ever use it.

- I'd rather have a look at it!

- Come on, Koch!

- What happened?

Gentlemen! It's a heavenly sign

urging us to leave!

Don't go! Don't be disturbed

by this inconvenience!

I must go unfortunately,

I'm on duty.

- Let's go, gentlemen!

- We'd be happy to stay around, though!

- Good bye! - Well, I'll have

to come back to fix it later!

- Good night!

- I kiss your hand!

Good night!

Thank you for granting us peace for

a couple of hours! I kiss your hands!

You have a Morse heart beat, man!

Alba Regia.

Alba Regia. This is Alba Regia.

I'm waiting.

- Alba Regia. This is Alba Regia.

- Stop it!

- Please, stop it!

- Alba Regia.

I've had enough!

Do you think,

I haven't had enough as well?

Enough of the vulnerability?

Of the hiding?

Of being constantly on the run?

From being stripped naked?

Being yelled at?

Or being shot at?

I'd also prefer

listening to music instead of orders!

Wishing I wouldn't be startled

at each and every noise!

And I want finally to laugh out loud!

And no more fear!

No fear...

Please!

Where are you going?

If they catch me here

you'll be persecuted as well.

And you'll be shot

even if you tell everything

you know about me.

And you hardly know anything

about me.

But... but why are you

telling me this now?

You asked.

I won't let you go!

If I stay here, the fear will

continue, just like the shivering.

And I won't stop this war.

You can live in peace, sleep in peace,

and you won't have to steal

again either.

I am not a coward!

Words have no weight these days.

People say yes or no

with their own lives now.

- I won't let you go away!

- You're sentimental.

I love you!

There's a war.

Can't we love,

fear for one another during a war?

Must we do what War wants

during a war?

I didn't ask you who you are!

What you do! I was just...

... happy that you are here.

I won't let you go!

Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop, or else...

Alba Regia...

It sounds like a flower's name.

But it's the name of this city.

Alba Regia...

I kept whispering it when I was

a medical student,

every time we were getting

dressed for surgery.

And I even felt like that.

In Royal White.

It's so good for people,

to be able to have memories.

Every moment is the wonderful memory

of being alive.

Doctor Hajnal.

Everything reminds me

of your name, Alba!

War will be over soon.

I love you!

I love you, Alba!

Have you ever thought of

what will happen after the war?

Peace.

Much more than just that.

There is peace already.

We wouldn't be here if there were

peace already.

Then I'm glad there's still a war!

A month ago I didn't even know

you existed.

Now you know!

- There is one thing I still

don't understand! - What?

What did you mean by saying

that people say yes or no

with their own lives?

But I was saying it in Hungarian.

Alba!

Do you want to go home

after the war?

Everybody returns home

after the war.

And what if I would ask you

to stay?

You don't know if somebody

is waiting for me back home.

Is there?

No one.

Saint Stephen took

a foreign bride also!

- I don't understand.

- What?

- 'also'.

- But I said it in Hungarian!

You didn't answer my question, Alba!

Will you stay here with me?

I'm a soldier.

- I'm not my own lord and master.

- And what if the war was over?

- I don't know.

- You must know!

- Don't ask me!

- Are you keeping something from me?

I'm so afraid.

Stop!

Seeing the two of you reminds

me of Napoli.

Where would you like to go? Please.

A walk for good health?

It's a must!

The body demands it!

But I must return to the hospital.

For the night shift.

Do you remember Alba Regia?

When the electrocardiograph...

and I thought it was Karl's heart.

Yes, I remember.

So, it turned out that it's a radio.

I've even heard it occasionally since,

from my car.

Can you still hear it back home?

Being honest, I don't use

that machine at all.

But we've just arrived at the hospital!

We'll get out now.

Stop!

Thank you for your kindness!

I get out here too.

I'll escort the young lady home

if you'll allow me.

- Thank you.

- Good bye. This way.

I'll come up with you for a

moment, if you don't mind.

- I hope you don't think I'm intrusive!

- Not at all!

....

Good evening, regimental doctor!

Good evening!

You're right on time!

Helmuth gave me a ride... in his car.

Where is Helmuth now?

He escorted home...

my wife.

I hope you're not jealous.

- Helmuth isn't interested

in women at all. - Is that so?

- Can you hear it?

- I can.

Hey, by God! So much

for my peace and quiet!

Good night, doctor!

I'll be right on time in the morning!

- Sister! - Yes, doctor!

- I'll go home for an hour now.

If anything happens in the meantime,

look for me there.

I'll be back in the morning,

so I'll go now.

Enough! Enough! Enough!

I told Konrad that he came here.

Then he must be carried away.

I'll take him.

I'll take him to the hospital.

I'll be back in the morning.

You stay here!

Is he drunk?

No.

Dead?

No. He's still alive.

I'm a doctor. I'm going to the

hospital for an inspection.

Who are you?

- Will you operate? - Yes.

- I'd like to be present!

- As you wish!

- Will he survive?

I don't know yet. Sister, please!

Prepare the surgery!

You wash yourself!

I need no assistance! Infusion!

Please, follow the sister!

Pulse?

Weak.

Swab.

Wipe!

Why did you come?

I love you.

You must go away!

I'll stay here with you.

Go away! You must go!

- Pulse?

- Weak.

Report that the lieutenant

will survive.

Sister, you're so quiet as if you'd

put on your old clothes!

No, doctor, please!

Fetch some blood!

The lieutenant will stay in your room.

Keep the key with you!

Don't let anyone disturb the patient!

- And you, doctor?

- What about me?

Won't stay here too?

Yes. I'll stay here too.

Stay here!

I'll wake up the orderlies!

And they'll take away the patient!

Two of you go to the surgery,

and bring up a patient!

Place sandbags at the windows!

Not here! Put them in the wards!

- What happened?

- Ten trucks are arriving.
