Baron Blood Page #6

Yeah, at least.

For this bid we have asked you

to submit sealed bids

prior to the start of this auction.

Now I'm going to announce

the result of these bids.

Thank you.

I beg your attention,

ladies and gentlemen.

The winning bid was submitted

by Mr Alfred Becker.

- Is Mr Alfred Becker in the audience?

- Yes, I am.

My sincerest congratulations,

Mr Becker!

Congratulations!

The castle could not have been placed

in better hands.

Thank you.

- You know him, Doctor?

- No.

- Maybe we should introduce ourselves.

- Why not?

- The documents will be here shortly.

- Thank you.

Mr Becker? I'm Doctor HummeI.

This is Eva Arnold

and my nephew, Peter Kleist.

How do you do, sir?

We'd all like to offer

our congratulations.

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you, sir.

- Peter Kleist?

- Yes.

Baron Otto von Kleist

was an ancestor of mine.

It might interest you to know,

Doctor,

that Mr Becker intends

to live in this castle

and plans to restore it

to its originaI condition.

- Oh, really?

- Yes.

That's Eva's speciaI field.

Perhaps she could be of some help.

I'm sure she could.

When you have a moment,

young lady,

I would be delighted

if you would pay me a visit

and share

some of your knowledge with me.

Er... well, thank you very much.

Excuse me, Mr Becker, if you'd be

good enough to sign this document...

you shall take legaI title

to the castle.

- Er... good day, Mr Becker.

- Nice to have met you.

Frulein, don't forget -

I shall be expecting you.

Mr Becker?

Herr Becker?

Herr Becker, you...

you frightened me.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't help but admire

that beautifuI tapestry.

- Where did you find it?

- Oh, in a little antique shop.

It was a stroke of pure luck.

They didn't even know

it belonged to the castle.

Of course it does.

How clever of you to find it.

Well, thank you.

Herr Becker, there's something

I would like to tell you.

Oh? Go ahead, dear.

Yes, it seems that a curse has been put

on Baron von Kleist by a witch.

Now, she vowed that he would suffer

a horrible death...

and be returned only

to go through all the agonies again.

A witch?

You... you believe this?

Well, but... let me finish, please.

You see, when Peter first arrived,

we invoked the curse.

We said the words that would

bring the baron back to life.

And?

I don't know...

So many terrible things have

happened here after that, that I...

I know it all sounds foolish, but...

Let me be the judge of that,

my dear.

Go ahead.

Horrible things

have happened since then.

A doctor was killed in his home.

Herr Dortmundt was murdered

right here in this castle.

- And now Fritz is missing.

- Fritz?

Oh, he's the caretaker
