Have you spoken again?

He'd like the maid

to come back.

Me too. I think--

If you continue,

you'll get in trouble.

I'm the boss here!

Angelo, if this is to go on

I'd prefer you'd to kill me.

- What do I care now?

- I know.

But I must think of Rena.

Someone will come...

to find out.

Maybe so.

We must hurry.

If you'd listen to me--

What?

Why should I?

I'm in this because of you.

I'm going to the village.

Take care of Rena.

Goodbye.

Where's the sick man?

Upstairs. Go on up.

- Have you eaten?

- I was about to.

- Later, go to your room.

- I don't want to.

Go to your room!

Please, let me go.

Open.

Sing.

Sing. He's sick.

I said, sing!

A child is born for us,

for us a child is born

For us a child is born,

for us a child is born

For us a child is born,

for us a child is born...

Sing.

Rena--

Angelo is insane.

Yes, Daddy.

Has he hurt you?

Yes.

I'm hungry.

Where is he?

I don't know.

I was shut up in my room.

Rena, we must do something.

Don't be frightened...

but he could hurt both of us.

But Daddy,

maybe he isn't feeling well.

No, Rena, he isn't.

He killed your mother.

Yes, Daddy.

You knew about it?

Yes, Daddy.

And the boys...

You knew it too?

No, I didn't know.

Rena, listen to me.

Take some paper.

You must take a letter

to the village.

Give it to the maid.

Ask her to come

and call your grandparents.

Yes, Daddy.

They won't hurt Angelo,

will they?

Rena,

if they don't hurt Angelo...

he will hurt us.

Ready, Daddy.

Rena!

Rena, come here!

I warned you.

Look.

Want a cigarette?

Want to make some money?

"...my wife's

and the children's bodies

will be found in the wine casks

in the cellar.

Signed, Klaus."

Angelo?

Thank you, Angelo.
