0:00:43 > 0:00:46because that's where he lives, on top of an Alp...
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Well, some mountain in Switzerland, anyway.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02When he was younger, he drank, you know,
0:01:02 > 0:01:05and gambled away practically the entire family fortune.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10And when he joined the army, well, they say that he killed a man
0:01:10 > 0:01:14and that he had to go to court and then things took a very nasty turn.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25My dear, no-one is more appalled than I am
0:01:25 > 0:01:27at the prospect of leaving the child with that man.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29But I have to work.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And there is no way I'll get a good position with a child along.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35The Lord knows, I'm sure I've done my best for her
0:01:35 > 0:01:38since my poor sister died.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29You'll love him. He's... Well...
0:02:29 > 0:02:32He's everything you'd expect in a grandfather.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Is this where Grandfather lives?
0:02:38 > 0:02:42No. He lives much further up the mountain.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44He must be mad, honestly.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Who lives here? - How should I know, child?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Do you think they'd give me a drink of water?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Ask them.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Yes? - May I have a drink of water, please?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22What's your name, then?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Heidi.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27What's yours?
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Peter.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32What are you doing up here, anyway?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- I've come to live with my grandfather.- Uncle Alp?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38That's what they call, I think.

0:04:19 > 0:04:20I'm Heidi.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Your granddaughter.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Why have you brought her here?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30She's come to live with you.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- What?- I've done all I can for her these past few years.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Now it's your turn.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Don't be ridiculous, girl.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Where's Detie? - She's gone, Grandfather.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Gone?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08You'd better hurry up and catch her, hadn't you?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11She said she only had one ticket to Frankfurt.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47I can sleep up here, Grandfather.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57You'll need this one, also. It gets...much colder later.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Thank you, Grandfather.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Goodnight.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Morning, Grandfather.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09And what's your name?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12What's their names, Grandfather?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15This one's Daisy. This is Dusky.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Can I go with him?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28I suppose so. Only...wash your face, first,
0:08:28 > 0:08:32so the sun won't laugh at how dirty it is.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Presumably, you hold no objections, General of the Goats.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Suppose not.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47This is her lunch.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50See she gets all of it.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56And you look after her, especially around that ravine.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00The sun can't laugh at me now, Grandfather.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Hm.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05See you later, then. PETER WHISTLES
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Careful!- OK!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Didn't you hear old Alp warn me about the ravine?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I was only looking. And don't call him old Alp.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Stay where I can see you from now on, all right?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Is that all you're having?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- It's all we can afford.- Have this. And the bread.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Are you sure? - I've got more than enough of this.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Thanks.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Get off. - GOAT BLEATS
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Don't send him away.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49- What's his name?- Finch.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51He's more trouble than the rest of them put together.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I think he's lovely.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55LOUD SQUAWKS
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- What's that?- A hawk, of course.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Does it live up here?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It has a nest, top of the peak, there.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Can we go up and see it? - Don't be silly.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08The goats can't get up there.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Why does it make that noise?
0:11:12 > 0:11:13I don't know.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Where's that stupid Finch gone now?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Oh, no!
0:11:22 > 0:11:23BLEATING
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- What...- Don't you dare!
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- He needs to be taught a lesson. - He's just a baby.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33No, I said!
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Promise me more of that cheese tomorrow, then.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Tomorrow and every day, and the bread, just so long as
0:11:39 > 0:11:43you promise to never, never beat any of them ever again.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Promise.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Bye, Peter. Can I come with you tomorrow, then?
0:11:55 > 0:11:56If you like.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Can I, Grandfather? - Of course.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07I brought you these.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13No, what happened to them, Grandfather?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Perhaps they wanted to stay in the sun.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20I'll never ever pick any more ever again.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22HAWK SQUAWKS
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Why does it croak like that?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31He's jeering at all the people who live down in the village,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33and make trouble for one another.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39He's telling them, "Why don't you mind your own business,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42"or climb to the top of a mountain, sometime?"
0:12:43 > 0:12:45We'd all be a lot better off.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22What are you doing, Grandfather?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Making cheese.- Can I try?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Are your hands clean?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33All right. Go on, then.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40You'll need to do it much harder than that.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- WHISTLE - That will be Peter.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46All right, run along. I'll finish off.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56It will snow, soon.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- How do you know?- I just know.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06My grannie,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08she says she'd like to meet you.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13- What's she like?- Ancient. And blind.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- She sees people through her fingers. - Really? I'd like to see her do that.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- What about tomorrow, then? - All right.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28WHISTLE, BELLS JANGLE
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Don't forget about tomorrow. - I won't.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Come on.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52In you go, Daisy.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Grandfather, have you made that?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03It is just something for you to sit on by the fire,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06when the winter comes, with me.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Oh, Grandfather, thank you. It's lovely.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Thank you. Thank you.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13HE CHUCKLES
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Peter says I'll be going to meet his grannie tomorrow.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Will that be all right?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I suppose so.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58How will Peter get up here with the goats, Grandfather?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00He won't be able to.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03But I promised to visit his grannie.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05She'll be expecting me.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08She'll just have to be patient, won't she?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10And so will you.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Now, go get some warmer clothes on.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Where are you going?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- To see Heidi. - The snow's too deep, Peter.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Don't worry. I'll be all right.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I'll be back before dark.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Who's this, Grandfather?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52FIRE CRACKLES
0:16:53 > 0:16:55My son.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Your father.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05He died in an accident...
0:17:05 > 0:17:07him and your mother.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Don't you remember them at all?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I was only a baby, Aunt Detie said.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21What was he like?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23My father?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36A lot like you, actually.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Why don't you ever go down to the village, Grandfather?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Oh, I...
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I go when I have to.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53POUNDING
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Peter!
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Are you out of your mind coming up here before the snow's even frozen?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I'm here, aren't I?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Hello, Heidi.- Hello.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17So, General,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20you're going to have to start chewing a pencil, again, huh?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Chewing a pencil?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24In the winter, Peter has to go to school.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27And he finds chewing a pencil helps a lot...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- don't you, Peter? - What do you do at school, Peter?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Learning to read...and write.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Not that I'm ever going to bother to.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Why not?- Cos it's a waste of time.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Why does a goat-heard need to read and write, anyway?
0:18:43 > 0:18:48Well, that would depend, wouldn't it, on whether the goat-herd
0:18:48 > 0:18:51wanted to spend the rest of his life being a goat-herd.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I have to go.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Bye, Peter.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Will I ever have to go to school, Grandfather?
0:19:07 > 0:19:12- Have you ever been to school? - The nearest school was miles when I lived with Aunt Detie.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16I mean, she was too busy to take me.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17HE GRUNTS
0:19:19 > 0:19:22When can I go and visit Peter's grannie?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24When the snow has frozen over.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29When will that be?
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- Once Christmas is over.- Christmas!
0:19:35 > 0:19:41STRAINS OF "SILENT NIGHT"
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- Heidi?- Yes?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Are you all right?
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Oh, yes, Grandfather.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Now, close your eyes, Heidi.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Why?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Just turn your back and close your eyes.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07You can open them now.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Grandfather, a sledge!
0:22:12 > 0:22:13SHE GIGGLES
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Careful, Heidi.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17GRANDFATHER LAUGHS
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Your Christmas present.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I'm sorry it's a bit late.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Oh, Grandfather, it's beautiful.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Thank you. Thank you.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33You said you wanted to see Peter's grannie.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Off we go.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Grandfather!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Yippee!
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Whooaaa.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Now, in you go.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Just make sure to tell Peter you have to be back home well before dark.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Heidi, of course. Come in. Welcome.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Mother, it's Heidi.- Heidi?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Oh, such warm hands.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- Where's Peter?- He's at school.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48But how did you get down here, child?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51My grandfather brought me down on the sledge.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53What does she look like, Bridget?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Very pretty. In fact, beautiful.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Oh, yes. Certainly that.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Told you she'd come, didn't I, Grannie?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21And most welcome she was.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24So how did you get on with your reading today?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Peter, you need to learn to read. - Why?
0:24:28 > 0:24:30HE SIGHS
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Can you read, Heidi?- No.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34See.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39One of these days the wind's going to blow this place
0:24:39 > 0:24:40right off the mountain.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24HEIDI GIGGLES
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Give me your hand.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Peter's grannie's blind.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Yeah. Yes. I know.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43And their house they live in...
0:25:43 > 0:25:46the doors creak and the shutters bang.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48And Grannie gets really frightened when the wind blows
0:25:48 > 0:25:51in case it blows them right off the mountain.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Oh, yes?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58I just wish there was somebody who could do something about it.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Somebody who really knew about these things, Grandfather.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Can you think of anyone?
0:26:05 > 0:26:06No.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10HAMMERING
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Thank you.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Morning.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Morning, Pastor.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Good morning, my friend. May I have a word?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56The child, Heidi...
0:26:57 > 0:26:59What about her?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02I understand the teacher has sent you several messages
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- pointing out that she should be coming to school in the winter.- So?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09So, what do you intend to do with her?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13I certainly shan't be sending her to any school.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Then what will become of her?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18She'll grow up with the goats and the birds
0:27:18 > 0:27:21and they, at least, won't give her any bad ideas.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24She's not a goat, or a bird, man.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Next winter, she must start school.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31And just how do you suggest we get her there? Hm?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Do you really think that I would send a girl,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36a little child, of her age down the mountain?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39You could come back to Dorfli to live.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43What sort of life is that for a young girl stuck up there?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46One she loves, take my word for it,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49and certainly a better one than she would have down here,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51among people who despise me.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52THE PASTOR SIGHS
0:27:52 > 0:27:56My friend, people don't think half as unkindly of you
0:27:56 > 0:27:58as you seem to think they do.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Frankly, Pastor, I don't care much how they feel.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Just as long as they leave us alone.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49What do you want?
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Well, if you give me a chance to get my breath back, I'll tell you.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Heidi, darling, how well you look, child.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Hello.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03I asked you what you wanted.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07Well, you must have realised that I always intended to come back for her.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- What?- Well, of course I did.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Since then, I've spent my every waking hour
0:29:12 > 0:29:14trying to find a good home for her.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16And I'm delighted to say I've found one.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18She already has a good home, here.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Living on top of a mountain like a hermit?
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Now, the people I work for have rich relations in Frankfurt
0:29:25 > 0:29:27who have a child who's wheelchair-bound
0:29:27 > 0:29:30and who longs for a little playmate.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Some simple, unspoilt child of her own age.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36In fact, someone just like Heidi. Right?
0:29:36 > 0:29:37That's right.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40And how much are these rich relatives offering you
0:29:40 > 0:29:42for providing this playmate?
0:29:42 > 0:29:47How dare you? And how typical of you to think of that.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Because I know you, Detie. I know you well enough
0:29:51 > 0:29:53to know there has to be something in it for you
0:29:53 > 0:29:56for you to suddenly turn up here again,
0:29:56 > 0:29:59after dumping her on me the way you did.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Has it ever occurred to you to at least try to find out
0:30:02 > 0:30:04what Heidi might think of this idea?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- She's still a child. - She's also a human being.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Certainly not some chattel to be traded in
0:30:11 > 0:30:12whenever you find it convenient.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16You certainly are the most selfish brat I ever met.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18And what about you?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21It's obvious why you're determined to hang on to her, isn't it?
0:30:21 > 0:30:24You're going to need someone to look after you
0:30:24 > 0:30:27when you're no longer able to fend for yourself.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Never mind that you're an old man now, in fact, a very old man
0:30:30 > 0:30:32who, let's face it, hasn't much longer to live.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37And when you do die, what's going to happen to her then, eh?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41But you won't be here then, will you? So why should that bother you?
0:30:41 > 0:30:46I understand that you're refusing to send her to school.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47If you think I'm going to stand by
0:30:47 > 0:30:50and see my poor sister's only child brought up
0:30:50 > 0:30:53like some sort of illiterate peasant, then you're wrong.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56If I have to take this to court, I shan't hesitate.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58And then...
0:30:58 > 0:31:01God knows what might come out about you.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Take her, then...
0:31:04 > 0:31:06And spoil her.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09But don't you ever bring her back here to me again.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- Grandfather...- Go on.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Get out of here, the two of you!
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- Come along now, Heidi.- No!
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Don't be silly, child.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I don't want to go with you. I want to stay here with Grandfather.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- After what you've just heard? - I'm sure he didn't mean it.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Of course he meant it.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32He's famous for that violent temper of his.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34You do know that he killed a man in a brawl?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Why else do you think he lives alone here,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- hiding away on the top of a mountain?- I don't believe it.
0:31:40 > 0:31:45Believe what you like. It's what a judge will believe that counts.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49And you don't want him thrown into jail, do you...or worse?
0:31:49 > 0:31:53If I go with you, I can come back, can't I?
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Well, of course you can, whenever you like.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Now, go on, get your things.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Come on.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11Heidi...
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- Heidi, where are you going? - Mind your own business.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Can I just go in and say goodbye to Grannie, first?
0:32:33 > 0:32:36We have a train to catch. There isn't time. Now, come along, child.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Nan'll be so disappointed I didn't say goodbye to her.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43You can bring her a present when you come back.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Can I really?- Of course you can.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Some of those lovely white rolls that they sell in Frankfurt.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08HORSE WHINNIES, BELL RINGS
0:34:13 > 0:34:14Paper!
0:34:14 > 0:34:17CLOPPING OF HOOVES
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- What's your name, child?- Heidi.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30- That can't be your proper name. What were you Christened? - I don't remember.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Is the child half-witted...
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- ..or simply impertinent?- No, ma'am.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38It's just that she's never been in a house like this before.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- She was christened Adelheid. - How old is she?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43To be honest with you, I can't remember,
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- but I should think about ten. - I'll soon be nine.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47What?
0:34:47 > 0:34:51I distinctly remember telling you we wanted someone of Clara's own age,
0:34:51 > 0:34:52which is 11.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- What books have you read?- None.- None?
0:34:55 > 0:34:58I haven't learned to read, yet. Nor has Peter.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00He thinks reading's a waste of time.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Peter?- The goat-herd.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05What HAVE you learned to do, then?
0:35:05 > 0:35:06Make cheese.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- Really, Detie.- I beg your pardon, ma'am, but you did tell me
0:35:11 > 0:35:15that what you were looking for was a more unusual sort of child,
0:35:15 > 0:35:20and Heidi - I mean Adelheid - is certainly unusual.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22If I might presume to make a suggestion,
0:35:22 > 0:35:24why don't I leave her with you for a few days,
0:35:24 > 0:35:28and then if you still think she's unsuitable, I'll take her back.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Oh, yes, please. Let's do that, Miss Rottenmeier, just for a few days.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Very well. Tinette.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42TINETTE!
0:35:42 > 0:35:43FOOTSTEPS
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- Now what? - Have a room prepared for her.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53SIGHS
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Dinner's at eight o'clock. Don't be late.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02If there's one thing I simply abhor, it's unpunctuality.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08I was promised a certain amount to find someone, Miss Rottenmeier.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10For finding someone satisfactory.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12COINS CLINK
0:36:21 > 0:36:26- Well, I'll see you soon. - In a few days. Yes?
0:36:26 > 0:36:30- CLARA:- Do you want to be called Heidi or Adelheid?- My name is Heidi.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Then that's what I shall call you.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- Are you glad you came here?- No.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40But I will be going home in a few days with some nice white rolls for Grannie.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41So that will be all right.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Oh, you do say the funniest things,
0:36:44 > 0:36:46but I'm sure we'll have great fun together.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49MAN WHISTLES
0:37:11 > 0:37:14If you've nothing to do, I'm sure I can find you something.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17I've only just finished laying the table.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Then you can start doing something else.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Ungrateful...
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- What are you looking at? - You remind me of Peter the goat boy.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Oh, do I?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40And he's quite handsome, too.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Really?
0:38:25 > 0:38:26LOUD YAWN
0:38:40 > 0:38:42May I have that?
0:38:49 > 0:38:50BUTLER SNIGGERS
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Am I to have that, as well? - HE SNIGGERS
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Put the dish down, Sebastian, and bring the vegetables.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59HE CHOKES BACK LAUGHTER
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Never, never speak to Sebastian during the meal,
0:39:01 > 0:39:04unless it's to give him an order.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Now...
0:39:07 > 0:39:08..you...
0:39:16 > 0:39:17..are to address me...
0:39:19 > 0:39:20..as "ma'am".
0:39:20 > 0:39:23As for Clara...
0:39:24 > 0:39:28..it's up to Clara to say what you're to call her.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57SHE BREATHES RAPIDLY
0:40:13 > 0:40:17What on earth are you doing there?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Looking for grass.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00CHILDREN LAUGH
0:41:27 > 0:41:29So what's it like in the mountains?
0:41:29 > 0:41:33It's beautiful. There's lots of grass and trees.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37When the sun sets, it looks like there's fire on the mountains.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40I should like to see that, sometime.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Right, Clara, time for your nap.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45But I'm not a bit sleepy, Miss Rottenmeier.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Tsk! Have none of that.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50As for you, Adelheid, whilst she's sleeping,
0:41:50 > 0:41:54you will, of course, sit quietly in your room, as usual, until you're called.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07The child, Heidi...
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- What about her? - She seems to have vanished.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14What's happened to her?
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Didn't you hear, Pastor?
0:42:20 > 0:42:22I ate her.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Oh! Look where you're going.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Morning, Mr Usher.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36You have a new pupil, today.
0:42:38 > 0:42:45Right. Ladies, to begin, please open your books at page six. HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:42:53 > 0:42:55(Thank you.)
0:42:59 > 0:43:01BELLS CHIME OUTSIDE
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Some sort of problem with the windows there, Miss?
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Could you open it, please?
0:43:08 > 0:43:09Of course.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15There.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Try standing on this.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25Just stony streets.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29- We are in the middle of the city, Miss.- Where could I go...
0:43:29 > 0:43:32to see the whole of the valley?
0:43:33 > 0:43:36You'd need to get somewhere higher, I suppose...
0:43:36 > 0:43:40like that church tower, there. See. The one with the golden ball.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44Yes.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Where's Clara, please?
0:43:50 > 0:43:55Having her afternoon nap, of course, where else at this time of the day.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33Where's the tower with the gold ball on top?
0:44:33 > 0:44:37- Would you show me where it is? - What would you give me if I do?
0:44:37 > 0:44:40- What do you want?- Money, of course.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42I haven't got any money.
0:44:42 > 0:44:46- Well, that's that then, isn't it? - Clara has!
0:44:46 > 0:44:49I'm sure she'll give me some.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52- Who's Clara?- She lives here.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57It'll cost you tuppence.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59All right.
0:45:22 > 0:45:23What's that thing you're holding?
0:45:25 > 0:45:26A concertina.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28What does it do?
0:45:28 > 0:45:30Plays music, of course.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39- How do I get in?- I don't know.
0:45:39 > 0:45:43Wait for me, just in case I can't find my way back.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46Cost you another tuppence.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48Very well.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55- What do you two want? - I don't want anything.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58- But I want to climb to the top of the tower.- What for?
0:45:58 > 0:46:01- To see what I can see from there. - Be off with you.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04Please! Just this once, please.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09Oh, well... If it makes you happy.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11Come on.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46Aren't there any trees at all in Frankfurt?
0:46:46 > 0:46:49I should think trees have more sense than to live here in Frankfurt.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58There's something else you can see, mind.
0:46:58 > 0:47:02Might just cheer you up a bit.
0:47:08 > 0:47:09Over there...
0:47:09 > 0:47:11in the trunk.
0:47:11 > 0:47:12Oh.
0:47:15 > 0:47:16Would you like one?
0:47:16 > 0:47:18To keep?
0:47:18 > 0:47:19Course you can.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21In fact, you can have more than one, if you like.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24They're no use to me.
0:47:24 > 0:47:29In fact, between you and me, the ones that aren't taken are for the bucket.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32- The bucket?- The water.- You wouldn't.
0:47:32 > 0:47:36I can't do anything with them. I can't afford to feed them.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39- Then I'll take them all. - Right.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41But how will I carry them home?
0:47:41 > 0:47:45Don't worry about that. I'll bring them round to you.
0:47:45 > 0:47:47Could you just tell me where it is you live?
0:47:47 > 0:47:51- Mr Sessemann's house. - Mr Sessemann... oh.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53Right.
0:47:53 > 0:47:57Couldn't I take two now? One for me and one for Clara.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00Of course you can.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Thank you for showing me the way back.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10Hey, where's my fourpence?
0:48:10 > 0:48:12I'll get it for you.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14There you are, miss. Come on.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20Oi, my fourpence!
0:48:20 > 0:48:22What's the idea, running off like that?
0:48:22 > 0:48:26I didn't. I just wanted to find the church with the gold ball on top.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31- And there's this boy... - Never mind about him.
0:48:31 > 0:48:35You're in dead trouble. They're already at the table. Come on.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03I will speak to you later, Adelheid,
0:49:03 > 0:49:06about your unpunctuality...
0:49:06 > 0:49:12suffice to say, at the moment, that it was extremely naughty to go roaming off like that.
0:49:14 > 0:49:15KITTEN MEWS
0:49:17 > 0:49:17I beg your pardon?
0:49:17 > 0:49:18MEW
0:49:18 > 0:49:20SNIGGERS
0:49:20 > 0:49:24- How dare you mock me in such a fashion?- I didn't.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26SNIGGERS
0:49:26 > 0:49:27That'll do.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32Do you hear? That'll do.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38Oh, my word!
0:49:38 > 0:49:44UPROAR
0:49:58 > 0:50:04- She's always hated cats, you see. In fact, she's terrified of them. - Even kittens?
0:50:04 > 0:50:07Cats of any age. But it was funny.
0:50:07 > 0:50:12I'm sorry, Miss Clara, but I'm afraid you're going to have to leave those in my charge.
0:50:12 > 0:50:17- I'm under strict orders from Miss Rottenmeier to get rid of them. - Oh, no, Sebastian. Not the bucket.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20Oh, good Lord, no, miss.
0:50:20 > 0:50:22What do you take me for, some sort of savage?
0:50:22 > 0:50:23What are you going to do with them?
0:50:23 > 0:50:29There's a place in the attic where Miss Rottenmeier never goes.
0:50:29 > 0:50:30The mice, you see.
0:50:32 > 0:50:33Gently.
0:50:34 > 0:50:36That's it.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40KNOCK ON DOOR
0:50:44 > 0:50:45What do you want?
0:50:45 > 0:50:48- My fourpence.- Your fourpence.
0:50:48 > 0:50:52- That's what she owes me. - Who does?- Clara.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54MISS Clara to you.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00And for your information, Miss Clara never goes out into the street.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05She can't even walk. How can she possibly owe you fourpence?
0:51:05 > 0:51:07It wasn't her who promised me.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09It was the other girl.
0:51:09 > 0:51:14- What girl? - Brown hair, sort of a red dress.
0:51:14 > 0:51:20- Ah, that girl. And this would be yesterday afternoon, right?- That's right.
0:51:20 > 0:51:23Well, I suppose you'd best come in.
0:51:23 > 0:51:24Uh-uh-uh-uh.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30Now, you just wait there.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41Fourpence? Oh, well, no matter.
0:51:45 > 0:51:49- Give him this, Sebastian. - Oh, no, I'll do it.
0:51:52 > 0:51:57I promise I'll pay you back, Clara.
0:51:58 > 0:52:01MUSIC STARTS
0:52:15 > 0:52:17No. No. No. No! No!
0:52:17 > 0:52:20- Will you stop that? - She asked me to.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22Well, I'm telling you.
0:52:22 > 0:52:26- Now, you've got your fourpence, clear off.- What on earth...
0:52:27 > 0:52:30BANGING ON DOOR
0:52:30 > 0:52:34- And just what is going on here now? - Oh, no!
0:52:39 > 0:52:41- Yes?- For the little miss.
0:52:44 > 0:52:45What is that?
0:52:48 > 0:52:49Ow.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53And what is that?
0:52:53 > 0:52:56This is a little gift for the miss, ma'am. He said...
0:52:56 > 0:52:58Well, don't just stand there, open it man, open it.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00Open it. Open it, man, open it.
0:53:10 > 0:53:11If we can all just...
0:53:24 > 0:53:26He trod on my tortoise!
0:53:41 > 0:53:43Does Heidi really have to go so soon, Miss Rottenmeier?
0:53:43 > 0:53:46She most certainly does.
0:53:46 > 0:53:50Only I was just wondering what my father would think about that.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52Your father.
0:53:52 > 0:53:57Well, he will be home tomorrow and I suppose it is just possible
0:53:57 > 0:53:59that he would prefer to make the decision himself.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04- Hello, Heidi.- Hello, Grandfather.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07- Would you like to make some cheese? - Yes.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11Papa!
0:54:31 > 0:54:34Clara, my dearest... how are you?
0:54:35 > 0:54:37- All the better for seeing you, father.- I missed you.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42And this is Heidi.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46Heidi. But I understood from Miss Rottenmeier in her last letter that her name was Adelheid.
0:54:46 > 0:54:51That's what Miss Rottenmeier calls her but her real name is Heidi.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53So tell me, Heidi, are you and Clara good friends?
0:54:53 > 0:54:56- Oh, yes, sir. - I'm delighted to hear it.
0:54:56 > 0:55:00- Mr Sessemann...- Miss Rottenmeier...
0:55:00 > 0:55:03If I could have a word, sir...
0:55:03 > 0:55:05- in private.- Of course.
0:55:05 > 0:55:08I'll see you later.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13And this was when you stood on this tortoise, was it, Miss Rottenmeier?
0:55:13 > 0:55:18- After being attacked by at least one of the felines, yes.- Good lord.
0:55:18 > 0:55:25Frankly, sir, it makes my skin crawl, just touching them.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28- And all this was the child Heidi's doing, you say.- Absolutely.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31So what you're saying, Miss Rottenmeier,
0:55:31 > 0:55:34is that you don't consider her a suitable companion for my daughter.
0:55:34 > 0:55:40What I'm saying is, Mr Sessemann, that I'm not entirely sure that Adelheid is quite right in the head.
0:55:42 > 0:55:43Here, Clara.
0:55:45 > 0:55:49Heidi, would you mind bringing me a glass of water?
0:55:49 > 0:55:51Fresh water?
0:55:51 > 0:55:54- Fresh cold water, ideally. - Of course, sir.
0:56:00 > 0:56:06Now, Clara, tell me about these cats that Heidi apparently smuggled into the house.
0:56:06 > 0:56:11- They weren't cats, papa, they were kittens, and she only did it to save their lives.- Oh.
0:56:11 > 0:56:14- They were going to be put down. - So what's happened to these animals?
0:56:14 > 0:56:19Well, Sebastian's hidden them in the attic until he can find good homes for them.
0:56:19 > 0:56:21Oh, but please, papa, let me keep a couple of them.
0:56:21 > 0:56:27And I know the doctor said that they weren't good for my condition but I'm sure I'll be all right, now.
0:56:27 > 0:56:31So who told you that, darling, that the doctor said they were bad for your condition?
0:56:31 > 0:56:32Miss Rottenmeier.
0:56:42 > 0:56:46- Miss Rottenmeier thinks that we should send Heidi away, anyway. - Oh, no, papa.
0:56:46 > 0:56:52Since she came, wonderful things have happened, nearly every day, and she does make me laugh so.
0:56:53 > 0:56:56Thank you, Heidi.
0:56:56 > 0:57:00- My, this is cold.- I got it from the fountain, outside, on the street.
0:57:00 > 0:57:03- You went out for it? - You did want it cold, sir.
0:57:03 > 0:57:07Thank you, Heidi.
0:57:09 > 0:57:13- Oh, terribly sorry, sir. You wanted a word, sir. - I did, Rottenmeier. Yes.
0:57:19 > 0:57:23I need to return to Paris tomorrow for some important meetings.
0:57:23 > 0:57:26And I know I can, as always, leave the household in your more than capable hands.
0:57:26 > 0:57:29But of course, sir.
0:57:29 > 0:57:36Now, as for the little Swiss miss, it seems that Clara has formed quite an attachment to her.
0:57:36 > 0:57:40And I think it would be wiser not to send her back just yet.
0:57:42 > 0:57:46- As you wish, sir.- Despite her little idiosyncrasies, she will, of course,
0:57:46 > 0:57:51- be treated with kindness and understanding at all times. - But of course, sir.
0:57:51 > 0:57:54If you find her too much to manage on your own, help is at hand.
0:57:54 > 0:57:59- Oh?- My mother will be arriving shortly for her usual visit.
0:58:07 > 0:58:10Clara, Grandma's here!
0:58:10 > 0:58:14Adelheid, how dare you presume to address Mrs Sessemann as Grandmamma?
0:58:14 > 0:58:18She isn't your grandmamma.
0:58:18 > 0:58:19Never forget that.
0:58:21 > 0:58:23In future, therefore,
0:58:23 > 0:58:25you will call her...
0:58:25 > 0:58:27gracious madam.
0:58:27 > 0:58:29Gracious madam. Is that quite clear?
0:58:29 > 0:58:34- Yes, ma'am. - Now go to your room at once, and sit quietly until you're called.
0:58:55 > 0:58:57- Are you clean?- Yes.
0:58:57 > 0:59:01Well, in that case, you're to go to the study.
0:59:11 > 0:59:12There you are, darling.
0:59:12 > 0:59:13Thank you.
0:59:15 > 0:59:19- This is your friend, is it? - Yes. This is her, Grandmamma.
0:59:19 > 0:59:23Come in, my dear. Let me have a good look at you.
0:59:23 > 0:59:24Good evening, madam gracious.
0:59:24 > 0:59:28What? Is that what you call people in the mountains?
0:59:28 > 0:59:31Oh, no, we never call anybody that.
0:59:31 > 0:59:34Nor here, either, I can assure you.
0:59:34 > 0:59:36I'm Grandmamma and that's what you should call me.
0:59:36 > 0:59:39- Now, you will remember that, won't you?- Yes, Grandmamma.
0:59:39 > 0:59:43- And what's your name? - My real name's Heidi,
0:59:43 > 0:59:49but Miss Rottenmeier thinks it should be Adelheid... so I answer to that, as well.
0:59:49 > 0:59:53I'm sure you'll agree, madam, that it's better for her to be called
0:59:53 > 0:59:56by a name which isn't a cause of ribaldry and embarrassment.
0:59:56 > 0:59:59My dear Rottenmeier,
0:59:59 > 1:00:03if Heidi's her name, then that is what she shall be called.
1:00:03 > 1:00:06As you wish, madam.
1:00:11 > 1:00:12You sent for me, madam?
1:00:12 > 1:00:15Yes. Clara's taking her afternoon nap, isn't she?
1:00:15 > 1:00:20- Yes, madam. - And what does Heidi do in the afternoons?
1:00:20 > 1:00:23Sits quietly in her room until called, madam.
1:00:23 > 1:00:27I see. In that case, bring her down, will you?
1:00:27 > 1:00:28I want to give her some books that I've found.
1:00:28 > 1:00:32I hardly think that books would be of any use to her, madam.
1:00:32 > 1:00:34She hasn't even learnt her alphabet, yet.
1:00:34 > 1:00:36Strange.
1:00:36 > 1:00:38She doesn't seem stupid.
1:00:38 > 1:00:41But then appearances can often be deceptive, madam.
1:00:43 > 1:00:45Can't they?
1:00:56 > 1:00:57KNOCK ON DOOR
1:00:57 > 1:00:59Come in.
1:01:01 > 1:01:05Heidi, come and sit over here.
1:01:09 > 1:01:11I've found some books for you to read.
1:01:11 > 1:01:14But I can't read, Grandmamma.
1:01:14 > 1:01:17Well, you can at least look at some of the pictures.
1:01:27 > 1:01:29SHE SNIFFS
1:01:29 > 1:01:32My dear child, whatever's the matter?
1:01:34 > 1:01:36- This reminds me of...- home.
1:01:38 > 1:01:40You miss it very much, don't you?
1:01:40 > 1:01:45Grandfather, especially... even if he doesn't want me any more.
1:01:45 > 1:01:48- And Little Finch.- Little Finch?
1:01:48 > 1:01:51- He's a goat.- I see.
1:01:51 > 1:01:56Well, why don't you look at some other books? Perhaps the pictures won't upset you so much.
1:01:56 > 1:02:00But I like this book. And the pictures in it are lovely.
1:02:00 > 1:02:05And it has a lovely story to go with it.
1:02:05 > 1:02:11- If only you could read it. - Only I told you, I can't read. It's too hard.
1:02:11 > 1:02:17- Whoever told you that?- Peter. - Peter?
1:02:17 > 1:02:19The goat herd.
1:02:19 > 1:02:22Anyone can read, Heidi.
1:02:24 > 1:02:27Would you like me to teach you?
1:02:27 > 1:02:31Oh, yes, please. But you'd be wasting your time.
1:02:31 > 1:02:32We'll see.
1:03:01 > 1:03:03BANGING ON DOOR
1:03:17 > 1:03:18When's Heidi coming back?
1:03:25 > 1:03:27That one.
1:03:33 > 1:03:34Good.
1:03:34 > 1:03:35That one...
1:03:38 > 1:03:40and that one.
1:03:44 > 1:03:46Ahem!
1:04:01 > 1:04:05Once... upon... a time...
1:04:05 > 1:04:07there... was... a...
1:04:07 > 1:04:10The child can suddenly read.
1:04:10 > 1:04:15- Don't be ridiculous.- Well, my own reaction exactly when I witnessed it just now.
1:04:15 > 1:04:17How can this be, I ask myself?
1:04:17 > 1:04:19How is this possible,
1:04:19 > 1:04:23but Miss Rottenmeier, she's reading aloud to Mrs Sessemann at this moment.
1:04:23 > 1:04:25- Rottenmeier... - Yes, ma'am.
1:04:25 > 1:04:29I think it's high time we did something about Heidi's wardrobe, don't you?
1:04:29 > 1:04:34Her clothes don't seem entirely appropriate, somehow, for a companion to my granddaughter.
1:04:34 > 1:04:37I feel sure we can find some old dresses of Clara's that can be cut down to fit her.
1:04:37 > 1:04:43What I had in mind was taking her into town before I leave and buying her some clothes of her own.
1:04:43 > 1:04:47Nothing too grand, you understand. It would only embarrass the child.
1:04:47 > 1:04:51Perhaps you'd make the necessary arrangements.
1:04:56 > 1:04:57Good evening.
1:04:57 > 1:04:59Good evening, ma'am.
1:05:02 > 1:05:04Hello, Clara.
1:05:05 > 1:05:09- It's yours now, dear. - To keep?- Yes.
1:05:09 > 1:05:11Even when I go home?
1:05:11 > 1:05:12Of course.
1:05:12 > 1:05:16But of course, you won't be going home, Adelheid.
1:05:16 > 1:05:21Grandmamma will be leaving soon and then Clara will need you more than ever, won't you, Clara, dear?
1:05:34 > 1:05:36- Bye, children.- Bye!
1:05:54 > 1:05:56Hand me that, Tinette.
1:06:00 > 1:06:01That's mine.
1:06:01 > 1:06:03It's falling to pieces, child.
1:06:03 > 1:06:04What are you going to do with it?
1:06:07 > 1:06:08Burn it, of course.
1:06:09 > 1:06:10You have new clothes now.
1:06:12 > 1:06:14Not the hat, as well!
1:06:18 > 1:06:21And will you kindly explain what these are doing here?
1:06:21 > 1:06:23They're rolls.
1:06:23 > 1:06:25I can see what they are... or rather, were.
1:06:25 > 1:06:28What I want to know is what you're doing with them.
1:06:28 > 1:06:31- They're for Grannie.- Grannie.
1:06:31 > 1:06:32Peter's grannie.
1:06:32 > 1:06:35She finds black bread too hard to chew.
1:06:35 > 1:06:37She'll find this a lot harder.
1:06:37 > 1:06:40Must be weeks old, some of them.
1:06:40 > 1:06:46Don't you realise rolls are to be eaten the day they're baked? Remove them at once, Tinette.
1:06:58 > 1:07:00SHE SOBS
1:07:16 > 1:07:19Perhaps a spot of this, miss?
1:07:19 > 1:07:22No, thanks.
1:07:29 > 1:07:32Please, miss. You must have something.
1:07:32 > 1:07:34You haven't eaten for days.
1:07:34 > 1:07:37- Something wrong with your food, is there?- I'm not hungry.
1:07:37 > 1:07:41Then will you kindly leave the table before you put the rest of us off?
1:07:46 > 1:07:47Wretched child.
1:07:47 > 1:07:50Doesn't appreciate how very fortunate she is.
1:07:50 > 1:07:52However,
1:07:52 > 1:07:57if she insists on starving herself to death, so be it.
1:08:02 > 1:08:05Grandfather... Grandfather.
1:08:52 > 1:08:53Heidi!
1:08:56 > 1:08:57What are you doing?
1:08:57 > 1:08:59Are you all right?
1:09:03 > 1:09:04I don't know.
1:09:10 > 1:09:14- So, how are you feeling now, Heidi? - Much better, thank you.
1:09:14 > 1:09:20And where were you off to last night then, when Sebastian found you?
1:09:20 > 1:09:22I don't know, doctor.
1:09:22 > 1:09:24You'd been dreaming, had you?
1:09:24 > 1:09:27And what were you dreaming about?
1:09:29 > 1:09:32- It's the same dream I have every night.- Oh.
1:09:32 > 1:09:36I'm back in the cottage with Grandfather.
1:09:36 > 1:09:42There's lots of stars and when I go out to see the stars, all I see is roofs and chimneys.
1:09:42 > 1:09:46- The roofs of Frankfurt?- Yes.
1:09:46 > 1:09:50Don't you like being in Frankfurt, then?
1:09:50 > 1:09:54- I suppose I do.- Honestly?
1:09:57 > 1:10:00But you do miss the cottage and your grandfather?
1:10:00 > 1:10:02Yes.
1:10:06 > 1:10:09It's really quite simple.
1:10:09 > 1:10:14The child's been sleepwalking because she's obviously quite desperately homesick.
1:10:14 > 1:10:16And when she came here, she was positively blooming.
1:10:16 > 1:10:19However, the only thing that matters now is what can we do about it?
1:10:19 > 1:10:24My dear chap, there's only one thing you can do.
1:10:24 > 1:10:29I realise Clara will be upset but Heidi must be returned
1:10:29 > 1:10:34to her grandfather at once, before she pines away altogether.
1:10:47 > 1:10:49Allow me to take that for you, miss.
1:10:55 > 1:10:58Oh, Heidi, I'm going to miss you so much.
1:10:58 > 1:11:01I'm going to miss you too, Clara... terribly.
1:11:01 > 1:11:04But we will see each other soon, won't we?
1:11:04 > 1:11:07Some day.
1:11:07 > 1:11:11Of course, Clara. And now I can write you lots and lots of letters.
1:11:28 > 1:11:31MIAOW
1:11:32 > 1:11:32You haven't.
1:11:32 > 1:11:35Just this one, Sebastian.
1:11:38 > 1:11:41- Do you promise to take care of the others?- Of course I do.
1:11:49 > 1:11:53- Now, you're quite sure you know exactly where you're going? - Oh, yes.
1:11:53 > 1:11:56Mr Sessemann has arranged to send the rest of your things along later.
1:11:56 > 1:11:58Thank you, Sebastian.
1:11:58 > 1:12:00And thank you for bringing me home.
1:12:00 > 1:12:01Goodbye, Heidi.
1:12:02 > 1:12:04I'll miss you.
1:12:11 > 1:12:14Goodbye, Sebastian. Bye.
1:12:15 > 1:12:17Bye, Heidi.
1:12:34 > 1:12:36KNOCK ON DOOR
1:12:45 > 1:12:46Heidi.
1:12:51 > 1:12:53Grannie, it's Heidi.
1:12:53 > 1:12:54Heidi.
1:12:55 > 1:12:58Is it really you, child?
1:12:59 > 1:13:01Don't cry, Grannie.
1:13:01 > 1:13:04I brought you a present back from Frankfurt.
1:13:04 > 1:13:07Fresh white rolls...
1:13:07 > 1:13:11which means you won't have to eat hard bread again for days and days.
1:13:11 > 1:13:15What a present to bring me.
1:13:18 > 1:13:21But you're the best present of all, child.
1:13:23 > 1:13:27Well, now I must go and see Grandfather.
1:13:31 > 1:13:34No. He hasn't died, has he?!
1:13:34 > 1:13:35No!
1:14:03 > 1:14:04Grandfather?
1:14:15 > 1:14:16Go away.
1:14:20 > 1:14:22Grandfather, please unbolt the door.
1:14:22 > 1:14:24It's Heidi, Grandfather.
1:14:25 > 1:14:26Go away.
1:14:29 > 1:14:32- But Grandfather...- Go away, I said!
1:15:22 > 1:15:24ANIMAL BLEATS
1:16:28 > 1:16:32- Where's Heidi?- How should I know?
1:16:32 > 1:16:35I'm here, Peter!
1:16:40 > 1:16:43I brought him back with me, from Frankfurt.
1:16:43 > 1:16:44What's his name?
1:16:44 > 1:16:47Boris, because he's very bold.
1:16:47 > 1:16:50So, coming up to high pasture, then?
1:16:50 > 1:16:54- I don't think so.- It's more fun than staying down here with that old grump.
1:16:54 > 1:16:58Don't call him that. He was really hurt when I left, I know he was.
1:16:58 > 1:17:01I thought you said he told you to leave.
1:17:01 > 1:17:05Only because he was upset. I should never have gone with her, Peter.
1:17:05 > 1:17:10She practically had to drag you down to the station. I saw that myself.
1:17:10 > 1:17:12I couldn't run away.
1:17:12 > 1:17:17I did try to, lots of times... only in my sleep, though.
1:17:17 > 1:17:18Oh.
1:17:34 > 1:17:36Bye, Heidi. See you tomorrow.
1:17:38 > 1:17:40What are you doing back here, anyway?
1:17:40 > 1:17:43They sent me home.
1:17:43 > 1:17:48Why? Because you did something bad?
1:17:48 > 1:17:51No. I just wanted to come home.
1:17:54 > 1:18:00Anyway, now you're here, I suppose you'll have to have somewhere to sleep.
1:18:00 > 1:18:03You know where your bed is.
1:18:10 > 1:18:16- Who brought you back here, anyway? Aunt Detie, I suppose.- No. Sebastian.
1:18:16 > 1:18:20- Who's that?- Mr Sessemann's servant.
1:18:20 > 1:18:21He was my friend.
1:18:21 > 1:18:25So what happened to your Aunt Detie?
1:18:25 > 1:18:29I don't know. I never saw her again after she left me in Frankfurt.
1:18:37 > 1:18:40Anyway, it's going to be awfully cold tonight.
1:18:40 > 1:18:45So I suppose we'd better get that kitten of yours inside as well.
1:18:48 > 1:18:50Right, Grandfather.
1:18:50 > 1:18:56Thank you so much for taking me back. And I really am very sorry that I left.
1:19:22 > 1:19:27Ever since you got back from Frankfurt, you've always had your head stuck in a stupid book.
1:19:27 > 1:19:31A book can't be stupid, Peter.
1:19:31 > 1:19:33People who read them are.
1:19:33 > 1:19:37You should learn to read yourself, Peter. I could teach you, you know.
1:19:37 > 1:19:38No, thanks.
1:19:38 > 1:19:42- Then you know what will happen to you...don't you?- What?
1:19:42 > 1:19:47One day, they'll send you down to the big school
1:19:47 > 1:19:49where all the teachers wear top hats and when they
1:19:49 > 1:19:52find out you can't read, they'll all make fun of you.
1:19:52 > 1:19:55- They wouldn't.- They would, you know.
1:19:57 > 1:19:59Can you really teach me how to read?
1:20:04 > 1:20:06Of course.
1:20:07 > 1:20:09Where are we going, Grandfather?
1:20:11 > 1:20:12You'll see.
1:20:34 > 1:20:36What's this place, Grandfather?
1:20:38 > 1:20:42It is the house I used to live in, before I moved up the mountain.
1:20:42 > 1:20:47And I thought that we might move in when winter comes.
1:20:47 > 1:20:51If nothing else, it will make it easier for you to go to school.
1:20:51 > 1:20:55- Would you like that?- Just so long as you promise we can move back up to the mountain in the summer.
1:21:14 > 1:21:16Did you like living here, Grandfather?
1:21:19 > 1:21:21Once.
1:21:26 > 1:21:28My son grew up here.
1:21:35 > 1:21:38I think we can make this house really cosy.
1:22:30 > 1:22:31I want to welcome you.
1:22:34 > 1:22:36- Welcome back.- Welcome back.
1:22:43 > 1:22:46Welcome back, my friend.
1:22:46 > 1:22:50Welcome home, Heidi.
1:22:50 > 1:22:53You're getting good at that.
1:22:53 > 1:22:54Good.
1:22:54 > 1:22:56Good.
1:22:59 > 1:23:01Supposed to give you this.
1:23:02 > 1:23:04It's for you...
1:23:04 > 1:23:05from Frankfurt.
1:23:11 > 1:23:13SHE GASPS
1:23:15 > 1:23:18You can still change your mind and come with us, you know.
1:23:18 > 1:23:20I think not, madam, thank you.
1:23:20 > 1:23:23You really do hate her, don't you?
1:23:25 > 1:23:27I'm sure I don't know what you mean, madam.
1:23:27 > 1:23:28Oh, I think you do.
1:23:28 > 1:23:33From what I can gather, you've resented her bitterly ever since she first set foot in this house.
1:23:33 > 1:23:37What I can't for the life of me understand is why.
1:23:37 > 1:23:39She's such a sweet child.
1:23:39 > 1:23:41If you say so, madam.
1:23:41 > 1:23:44You mean you don't think so.
1:23:44 > 1:23:52I think, madam... the child has a quite remarkable facility for making people believe she is.
1:23:53 > 1:23:56As to whether or not any of it is genuine, madam,
1:23:56 > 1:24:00on that I prefer to keep my own counsel, thank you.
1:24:00 > 1:24:02I feel sorry for you, Rottenmeier.
1:24:02 > 1:24:05Why, madam?
1:24:05 > 1:24:07Because I see people as they really are?
1:24:07 > 1:24:13What can you possibly see in her that none of the rest of us can?
1:24:14 > 1:24:19Unless, of course, it's yourself... a long time ago.
1:24:19 > 1:24:22Myself, madam?
1:24:53 > 1:24:55Heidi!
1:24:55 > 1:25:00Doctor Classen!
1:25:06 > 1:25:07Heidi.
1:25:07 > 1:25:10And Grandmamma!
1:25:13 > 1:25:15- Clara!- Heidi!
1:25:22 > 1:25:25What a magnificent place to live. A king would envy you this.
1:25:25 > 1:25:27You're right, you know.
1:25:27 > 1:25:33Man could scour the face of the earth and not find a better place to retire to than this.
1:25:33 > 1:25:35- Something you should think about, perhaps.- Oh, yes.
1:25:35 > 1:25:39Wouldn't it be wonderful if you did, though. We could come and see you every day.
1:25:39 > 1:25:44Well, I can't remember when I had more delicious cheese.
1:25:45 > 1:25:50I hope the mountain air will make up for any deficiencies in my cooking.
1:25:50 > 1:25:55But now I'm afraid we really must return to the inn in the village before the light goes.
1:25:55 > 1:25:59- Can't I stay here tonight, Grandmamma?- She can stay with me.
1:25:59 > 1:26:01I've got lots of room.
1:26:01 > 1:26:06Well, I would certainly have no objections, if Grandfather hasn't.
1:26:06 > 1:26:09She could stay for the entire summer, if she wants.
1:26:09 > 1:26:13Oh, could I, Grandmamma? Please?
1:26:15 > 1:26:17What does the doctor think?
1:26:17 > 1:26:20I think it would probably do her the world of good.
1:26:20 > 1:26:22But could you cope?
1:26:22 > 1:26:28Clara's hardly in the best of health and completely confined to her chair.
1:26:28 > 1:26:34When I was in the army, I worked at the field hospital, so I expect I could just about manage.
1:26:34 > 1:26:37- And I could help, as well. - In that case...
1:26:38 > 1:26:40I'm sure your father would agree.
1:26:40 > 1:26:42Thank you, Grandmamma. Thank you.
1:26:45 > 1:26:49That'll be Peter. You have to meet him, Clara.
1:26:49 > 1:26:51You can give him his present.
1:26:59 > 1:27:03- Peter, this is my friend, Clara. - Hello, Peter.
1:27:03 > 1:27:04Hello.
1:27:04 > 1:27:06This is for you.
1:27:12 > 1:27:13All the way from Frankfurt.
1:27:15 > 1:27:16Thank you.
1:27:16 > 1:27:20She also brought a warm shawl for Grannie, and a dress for your mother, as well.
1:27:20 > 1:27:22Oh, yeah?
1:27:25 > 1:27:28- Why doesn't he like me? - I think, perhaps, he's a bit jealous.
1:27:28 > 1:27:34Most days I go up to high pasture but for the last few days, I haven't been able to.
1:27:34 > 1:27:36I wish I could go up to high pasture, one day.
1:27:36 > 1:27:40You've told me so much about it.
1:27:40 > 1:27:44I'm sure Peter will be pleased to see us. This is where he usually is.
1:27:44 > 1:27:46Never mind.
1:27:46 > 1:27:47I'm sure he can't be very far away.
1:27:49 > 1:27:51Here, Clara.
1:27:52 > 1:27:54Do you like the mountains?
1:27:54 > 1:27:55Yes.
1:27:55 > 1:27:57They're amazing.
1:28:00 > 1:28:03So, put your arm round me.
1:28:08 > 1:28:10Let's find a good place...
1:28:15 > 1:28:17- What about here, Grandfather? - Why not?
1:28:22 > 1:28:23That's it, Clara.
1:28:34 > 1:28:36Careful, Heidi.
1:28:37 > 1:28:38The ravine!
1:28:40 > 1:28:40No!
1:28:53 > 1:28:54Grandfather!
1:28:54 > 1:28:56Peter!
1:28:57 > 1:28:58Peter!
1:28:59 > 1:29:01Get yourself down here... now!
1:29:04 > 1:29:06Help!
1:29:09 > 1:29:10- Grandfather! - Hold my hand.
1:29:17 > 1:29:22- Peter. - Help!- Hold on to my leg.
1:29:22 > 1:29:24Grandfather!
1:29:27 > 1:29:29I'm slipping!
1:29:31 > 1:29:33Heidi.
1:29:53 > 1:29:56Heidi. Heidi!
1:29:59 > 1:30:02- Heidi, are you all right? - Yes. I think so.
1:30:02 > 1:30:05You're standing up.
1:30:10 > 1:30:12Stand up, again.
1:30:12 > 1:30:16- I can't.- You just did, Clara. - Try.
1:30:16 > 1:30:18I can't, I tell you.
1:30:18 > 1:30:20Give her a hand, you two.
1:30:30 > 1:30:32All right.
1:30:32 > 1:30:33Now let go of her arms.
1:30:38 > 1:30:41Now walk towards me.
1:30:44 > 1:30:45Walk.
1:30:54 > 1:30:56HE LAUGHS
1:31:04 > 1:31:07And that's what we're going to do every day from now on...
1:31:07 > 1:31:10for the rest of the summer.
1:31:10 > 1:31:13And Peter -
1:31:13 > 1:31:16Peter's going to help...
1:31:16 > 1:31:17aren't you, Peter?
1:31:17 > 1:31:19Yes.
1:31:52 > 1:31:56I can't believe the summer's nearly over. The weeks have just flown by.
1:31:56 > 1:32:00There'll be another summer next year, Clara, and you can come and stay with us then...
1:32:00 > 1:32:03- can't she, Grandfather? - Oh, any time.
1:32:12 > 1:32:13Papa.
1:32:27 > 1:32:28Clara.
1:32:36 > 1:32:38Clara, you're...
1:32:38 > 1:32:40I know, papa, I know.
1:32:51 > 1:32:53What made you come and live up here?
1:32:53 > 1:32:58- Because I wasn't welcome in the village.- Why?
1:32:58 > 1:33:04Because they'd heard that I'd killed a man in a fight.
1:33:04 > 1:33:07And had you?
1:33:07 > 1:33:13There's lots of things that I've done in my life that I've regretted, doctor...
1:33:13 > 1:33:15but that was never one of them.
1:33:15 > 1:33:19Well, it's a wonderful thing you've done for Clara.
1:33:19 > 1:33:23And if there's anything at all that any of us can do for you, anything, you've only to say.
1:33:23 > 1:33:28What do I need that I haven't already got?
1:33:46 > 1:33:49Thanks, Grandfather.
1:33:49 > 1:33:51- Here, throw it here. Heidi.- Quick, Heidi.
1:33:51 > 1:33:53Clara.
1:33:55 > 1:34:00- Having said that, there is one thing, I suppose.- Oh?
1:34:00 > 1:34:05I'm not stupid, doctor.
1:34:07 > 1:34:12I'm not just old, I am beginning to feel old.
1:34:12 > 1:34:16What happens to Heidi when I go, though?
1:34:16 > 1:34:19That's what bothers me.
1:34:21 > 1:34:23I'll be retiring myself, soon.
1:34:23 > 1:34:26I've already got my eye on a property down in Dorfli.
1:34:26 > 1:34:30In fact, it was Heidi who first put the idea into my head,
1:34:30 > 1:34:36and it goes without saying, of course, that if she is ever left alone,
1:34:36 > 1:34:41there'll always be a home for her there with me and Mrs Classen.
1:34:46 > 1:34:51I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear that, doctor.
1:34:56 > 1:34:59- Are you all right, Grandfather? - Oh, I'm fine.
1:34:59 > 1:35:01He hurt his back saving my life...
1:35:01 > 1:35:03when Clara first came here.
1:35:03 > 1:35:06- Yes. I heard about that. - And it still hurts him.
1:35:06 > 1:35:09Perhaps I should take a look at it?
1:35:09 > 1:35:13- It's nothing, really. - He always says that.
1:35:13 > 1:35:16We'll take a look, anyway, shall we?
1:35:16 > 1:35:18As you wish.
1:35:18 > 1:35:26And now if you'll excuse me, I think I'd better go and see to the horses.
1:35:28 > 1:35:32- Are you sure you're all right, Grandfather? - I'm fine, in spite of your nagging.
1:35:32 > 1:35:35I love you, Grandfather.
1:35:35 > 1:35:39And God knows, I love you.
1:35:47 > 1:35:48Come on, Heidi.
1:35:51 > 1:35:51Coming, Peter!
