...by my good friend the Governor.

l can't go against his wishes.

They shall remain here

until their parents come for them.

No one can travel these days,

and well you know it.

-Then they shall remain with me.

-And me, caro!

They're quite content here.

-l want to see them.

-l cannot allow that, bella signora.

Adolfo!

Please be kind enough

to show the signora out.

Let me go! How dare you?

Remember...

...you are making

the famous soap of Saint Mary's.

Put your hearts into it.

Why does he want us?

Bonelli, we call him ''The Bone.''

Very smart at business.

You see, the Governor of this city

pays him money for each child here.

The more children he steals,

the more money he makes...

...and he has slave labor for his factory.

Most of the children here

aren't even orphans, they're just lost.

Take this.

-Why hasn't Mrs. Hillary come for us?

-She will!

-What if she doesn't?

-She will!

-Let's get llsa and Gudrun and run away.

-Don't be silly, we'd never make it!

The only sensible thing to do

is to wait for Mrs. Hillary.

-What if she doesn't come?

-She wouldn't just abandon us here!

You don't know her. l know her!

What if she's ill? What if she can't come?

What if my grandfather's ill?

What if he's dying?

l'm not an orphan! l don't belong here!

l have a grandfather!

Peter.

l was half expecting Heidi.

She's still in ltaly.

They never received your cable.

Heidi and her schoolmates

are some place called Saint Mary's.

Saint Mary's?

l'll contact the school.

l'm certain l can get through from my post.

Then say l'm coming.

l'll bring Heidi back myself.

Grandfather, no.

-The country is at war, it's too dangerous.

-All the more reason to go.

The ltalian Army has taken over

the railroad, you'll have to travel by foot.

Heidi cannot make the journey alone.

First let me contact the school.

They must have made arrangements

for the children to travel safely home.

And if not, l will go and get her.

l have old man's imagination.

lt runs away with me.

Saint Mary's.

l know how to run away,

but l can't do it alone.

-lt's too heavy. lf l drop it--

-What's too heavy?

The grate in the floor drain.

Let's get the others.

-We're leaving.

-Come on, Gudrun, move!

Be quiet.

Heidi? Giovanni!

-He's not coming.

-Yes, he is!

-What's he doing?

-The crowbar! Help him!

Come on!

Go down! Hurry up!

l'm not going to be responsible

for Giovanni. You brought him!

l'll look after him.

Cover your eyes!

This is where Bonelli puts

the lost children!

Which one of you knows?

Which one of you knew their plans?

Which one?

Which one of you

would like to eat breakfast?

You! You were up.

You saw them from the window.
