---

please take a note...

Here we are, sir.

- What is it?

A bit later please, ok?

Please, bring her in.

Yes, sir.

To what do I owe

this unexpected honor?

Do you know this?

Of course.

What have you dont with this thing,

that I gave you

in a foolish mood?

To overcome this "foolish mood",

I gave it away.

Yes.

To a girl.

At the Stalehner.

And this girl was my maid.

For God's sake!

Yes, take a look...

what you caused with your

tasteless negligence.

Moosbauer of all things.

You know, what happens...

if my husband...

Well, what do you intend to do now?

First of all, I cannot represent

you as your lawyer, of course.

I was explicitly sent to you.

He will become suspicious immediately,

if you refuse.

Besides, matters will take their course.

Take a seat Madame, please.

No, thanks.

Well...

We have to try,

to find a way out of this...

very disastrous situation.

I don't see a way.

No!

There is one.

What would that be?

The trial must not take place.

Anuschka, I mean this girl has...

Ms. Hordak has to withdraw

the lawsuit.

Do you want to go to her and ask?

You know her quite well anyway...

But this is impossible!

If she sees me again,

her prime witness,

she has a hold on us!

You have to talk with her, Madame.

I?

No one can expect me to do that.

Please Madame,

you have to convince the girl,

to suspend the case.

I don't think it will be very difficult,

by the way.

Such matters can be settled

with money normally.

I am...

at your disposal, of course.

Where does she live?

Anuschka!

What's the fire?

A fine lady wants to talk with you.

Probably because of the advertisment.

Madame...

Anuschka, I have to talk with you.

I don't know what you could tell me,

Madame.

Please...

dear Mrs. Anuschka.

It is very important.

Isn't it possible to...

Well, actually ...

if Madame absolutely whishes to...

Please.

I wrote an excellent

letter of reference for you.

Here, read it Anuschka.

That's not much help to me.

I was called a thief in front of

Lina and Leopold.

And this has to be...

revoked in public!

That's what the doctor said.

Jesus, isn't it possible to come

to a compromise without this advocate?

Here, I am willing to pay

you 200 krones.

I want my unpaid salary.

And nothing else!

I have 500 krones...

You can put your money back, Madame.

Please, don't let me leave like this.

Or something bad will happen.

I want to tell you everything.

You have to listen to me.

Only a few more minutes.

Hey you!

What are you looking for?

Mrs. Anna Hordak, please.

She doesn't live here anymore.

But she works for Professor Hartberg?

She was, please!

Is she sick?

We have...

thrown her out!

Thrown out?

Yes!

Because of mischief.

Anuschka is not a mischief-maker.

Well, she was here.

A bit like this.

Don't dare say that again!

Hey, you!

Where does she live now?

I don't care!

Where people like that live...

Maybe you can ask Dr. Moosbauer,

in the Florianilane.

Moosbauer?

Maybe he knows where she is!

But why didn't you tell the professor

the truth?

Because even the truth would have

made my husband miserable.

And maybe he wouldn't believe me.

That nothing has happened.

Between me and this man.

I don't understand that.

If such a thing

would happen to me,

and I would tell my Jaro

the truth.

He would believe me for sure.

Anuschka...

can you forgive me,

that I kept silent?

My marriage would have been ruined.

Yeah, right.

So you rather ruined me, right?

It wouldn't have come to that,

if my husband wouldn't be occupied

with his work all the time!

And I was so lonely.

Oh no...

It's also our fault.

And how!

But just now...

everything has changed.

Now I am finally happy

with my husband.

And now everything

is going to be destroyed.

Calm down, Madame.

I...

will take the blame.

And the professor

won't be miserable.

Anuschka!

I don't know how to thank you.

When people like me

run into trouble...

we lose everything.

Our employment, our honour...

and we can't

sort things out.

Nonsense!

Nobody will care.

You will get your reference, your salary.

And everything will be alright.

Well, my Jaro won't hear about it.

And that's most important

to me.

Now then.

I will withdraw the accusation.

Never mind, Madame.

Yes, Yes...

I am on my way!

What a turbulent day.

Is Mrs. Anuschka at home?

Yes, yes...

Who was this posh lady?

The lady who dismissed Anuschka.

Anuschka!

What are you doing in Vienna?

I am here because of your farm.

Dr. Moosbauer sent a letter to mother...

And because I took matters

into my hand,

he said, that I should go

and visit my client!

Mother was doing you wrong.

But everything will be alright now.

Tell me Anuschka, what was going

at professor Hartbergs house?

What?

Nothing...

Nothing was going on!

Did you tell him about the story?

Of course, because Mr. Jaro is your

fianc!

But I didn't allow you to do that,

Mr. Virak.

Hold on!

You were suspected to be a thief,

and it shouldn't concern me?

Mind your own business, Jaro!

Everything is settled and done anyway.

What do you mean with settled?

Just as I told you!

There will be no lawsuit.

I will withdraw the accusation.

What utter nonsense!

Did you let yourself be wrapped up

by this Ms. Hartberg?

I have to protest strongly

against that,

as your advocate!

Please leave me alone Mr. Virak.

You are absolutely right doctor.

She promised Ms. Hartberg,

that she will

withdraw the accusation.

Although she got this lighter

indeed as a present

from this posh gentleman

at the Stalehner ball.

With the gypsies.

Be quiet, Ms. Huber!

Ah, come on.

That's how it was!

Because the lighter belongs

to Ms. Hartberg.

And she offered Anuschka 500 krones,

if she renounces the accusation

and gives it a miss.

What does that mean?

You've been on a ball?

And accepted a present

from a strange chiseler?

In the middle of the night?

This is not true!

I accepted nothing!

Well Anuschka, come out with it!

What did Ms. Hartberg want from you?

Leave me alone!

Ms. Hartberg is not involved

in the whole story.

I have to sort this out

for myself.

But you don't want to accuse yourself

suddenly, Anuschka?

I can't believe the things you say.

You're lying because you feel ashamed

after you got involved with someone else!

And who says

that I didn't steal anything?

I will find out the truth!

Take my word for it!

You!

What have you...

Look what you've done!

Can't you keep your mouth shut?

That's all the thanks one gets!

After housing such a girl.

What kind of nonsense is this?

You didn't steal anything!

If I stole something, or not -

is only my concern!

The lawsuit will be dropped!

Just so you know.

I knew it.

Madame doesn't whish to see you.

But I have to speak with her.

You!

Don't cause any trouble!

I will cause trouble until I can speak

with...

What do you want from my wife?

My name is Nowarek.

I am Anuschkas fianc.

Well, yes...

I can imagine why you came.
