Katalin Varga Page #2

Synopsis: In the beautiful, otherworldly Carpathian Mountains a woman is traveling with a small boy in a horse and cart, looking to punish those who once abused her. For years, Katalin has been keeping a terrible secret. Hitchhiking with two men, she was brutally raped in the woods. Although she has kept silent about what happened, she has not forgotten, and her son Órban serves as a living reminder. When her village discovers her secret, Katalin's husband rejects her. With nothing to lose, she is free to seek revenge on the perpetrators. As she puts human faces to horrible acts, she is forced to consider that morality might not be as black and white as she had imagined.

All right, so maybe you don't

believe so much in talking.

How about introducing yourself?

Gergely.

Katalin.

Close your eyes.

I'm surprised you don't remember me.

I'm not the one you want.

I didn't do anything!

Exactly. You didn't do anything.

You just stood there and laughed

while your friend did

what he did to me.

Antal's the one you're after.

Antal Borln!

- He's moved to Zlnokhely.

- Zlnokhely?

My children...

I love them. I never told them.

Mercy on me.

- Where were you?

- Just an early morning stroll.

You mean, an all-night stroll.

You never came back

last night, did you?

What business is it of yours?

That Gergely is a bad seed.

He makes a mockery of his wife

and you played your role.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Everyone saw you two

in the bar last night.

Even the whores of this village

are more discreet than you.

I have a husband.

I would never dishonour him.

I'm sure your friend,

Gergely will testify.

I know your type.

You know every type, don't you?

You're up to no good, Madam.

My son and I are just

passing through.

This village has its eyes on you.

Orbn?

Are you awake?

Sorry?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

You said nothing at the table.

Did someone hurt you?

No.

- Did someone laugh at you?

- No, don't be stupid.

I just miss my husband, that's all.

You mean, papa?

Why didn't you call him 'papa' just now?

Police. Open up.

Open up. Police!

Good evening.

We apologize for visiting so late.

We'd like to ask if you have seen a

young lady by the name of Katalin Varga?

Who?

She has a boy aged nine or ten.

They're travelling on a wagon...

I thought you said you had no children?

Stop! Stop!

I swear to God, I don't know

where they've gone. I swear.

So they did stay with you then?

Why did you lie to me?

Look at me. Why did you lie?

- No sign of them.

- We'll find them.

Still no ideas?

Why were those men after you?

Why are we really here?

If you don't want to tell me

what you're doing

why couldn't you have left me at home?

- Why did you drag me here?

- Because my mother's ill.

She's not ill! I want to go home.

You didn't tell me

who those men were.

Zsigmond!

I'm so happy to hear your voice.

He's fine, yes. He's playing outside.

I want to come back,

no matter what.

That's all I know.

Soon.

Soon.

I can't talk about that, Zsigmond.

I'll tell you when I get back.

I just wanted to know

whether we can talk.

Not now. When I see you, okay?

I don't know how, but...

I know we can make things work again.

All three of us.

- Who's that man?

- I don't know.

- He's looking at you.

- I know.

- Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon.

Is there something I can do for you?
