THE BIRTHMARK

Get up. Wake up.

You'd sleep through the whole holiday.

Dear Grandpa, called Sirak.

I'm writing to you so quickly
because I don't have time.

It's early in the morning and I have to go
with Maros to do something very important.

Bye.

See you later?

You probably don't know that yet.

But the Gaidos' returned him yesterday.

They were playing badminton
in the garden and it was a bore.



I don't want to,
am I in the day care, or what?

So Maros pulled a spider out
of his pocket to make it fun.

Yuck.

Marian. Come on, stop it.

They scolded him.

Also because of the big-nosed glasses.

Viktor.
- Which broke on Viktor's nose.

So he had to see a doctor.

Part VII: The Brothers

Aunt Headmistress.

Aunt Headmistress

Maros, has left. Here.

Aunt Headmistress,
I've been meaning to tell you.

But I couldn't because you were sleeping.



Maros had to leave.

Early in the morning,
it's terribly important.

I saw the "Federal Criminal Central
is searching" on TV.

And I do have that birthmark!

Pipo found it on me.

So we decided.

Don't be mad.

It's terribly important.

Marian.

Cilinka, what are you doing here?
Do you want to fall?

She stole my doll.

I'll scold her, go play.

Katka

You know where Maros went.
- No, I don't.

On pioneer's honor, Aunt.

Katka.

Didn't Maros tell you what he was up to?

He didn't even give you a hint?

That he'd wait till I grew up.

And then he'll marry me.

Guys stealing...

... rum in the supermarket,...

...I get that.

They have no character.

But when a woman...

...takes someone else's child outside
a store, it's unbelievable. - Don't tell.

Pipo, did you hear that?

Maybe that's how they stole me
from my mom in front of the store.

And that's why I have to
be in the Home now.

Maros, but if you say you're not hers,
where did your mother get you?

Have you seen that play on TV?

Where did the villagers raise a child
and not know he was the king's son?

Come on, where are the kings now?

How come they're not? They are. Abroad.

Right, ma'am?
- Mm-hm.

They are.
- There you are.

Even the princes are, and they've got
cars that can go as fast as 200.

And the chauffeurs.

I wouldn't want a chauffeur.

I'd be driving myself.

Even if I were a prince.

And you know where, Maros?
- Where?

To the islands in the Sargasso Sea.

You're nuts, Pipo. To the islands, by car?

And what?

You're gonna send it by ship.

When you're a prince, you can do anything.
Can't you?

Everyone bows down to you.

You don't even need money,
I just say, I'm Prince Pipo.

It's all right, comrade, it's all right.

You'll pay next time you go by.

Oh Gosh.

Where are you boys going with the dog?

To the maternity ward, ma'am.

You insolent rascal.

Really, ma'am, it's truth.

Can you tell the grown-ups the truth?

If we had told them we were
taking Silva to the cat show...

...they'd believe it.

I am grateful that he
was able to spend

the holidays like other
children, with your Tomas.

But now what?

What now?

I'll go see them.

Maybe they'll be in the perch.

You know.

He took it badly yesterday.

He's waiting, and waiting.

And then they tell him they won't take him.

Your folks were here yesterday.

I was very pleased and reassured.

I'm sure it'll be fine, I know them.

But what now?

What was he thinking?

You know.

He doesn't know yet.

Uncle? What?
- What doesn't Maros know?

Don't be curious, or you'll be old.

I want to be old.

As soon as possible.

I'd go look for him. In a cab.

Let's go.

So what?

You're his bride.

We'll go look for them together.

One, two, three, four,
one, two, three, four.

Today is not a visiting day.

Come on Wednesday.

And a dog on top of it.

Do you have your mom in here?

We want to ask about something.

Do you think all the children
are registered in here?

That's right.

Everything is written down.

And everywhere.

And where?

In the admissions office.

Couldn't we?...
- You can't, As I said.

Get out of here.

Come on Wednesday.

After 3 p.m. And without a dog.

Maros, go with her.

Ma'am, let me help you,
I'm sure it's heavy for you.

What do you need, boy?

I'd like to ask you something.

Well, ask.

My name is Marian Durina.

Du...ri...na Marian.

All right. Du...ri...na.
What's the point?

Has anyone came here to ask about me?

Has anyone been looking for me?

Today?
- No, not today.

Eight years ago.

On the eighth of September

Don't talk nonsense.

I'm not in the mood for silly jokes.

And you've been here by then?

It's my 15th year here.

That's good.

Some mother...

... didn't she ask?

Wasn't she looking for
someone with a birthmark?

Maybe you just went out for a snack.

Didn't you mix it up?
This is a maternity ward.

Exactly.

Ma'am.

Does it often happen to you
that children get switched?

What's happening to us?

They get mixed up,... switched.

No, that can't happen.

Why do you need to know that?

Aha!

Did you get a little brother
or a little sister?

No, no one was born to me.

Ah.

You've got your mommy here.

No?

So, what do you want?

Maybe her name was not even Durinova.

She could have had any name at all.

Moms never get switched either?

Of course not. Do you think any mother
doesn't recognize her child?

We write down names and numbers,
right after birth.

And birthmarks?

No, why?

Because it's very important.

Maros took all the money
he had from selling bottles.

So you're going through his stuff?

No, Uncle.

I would never dare do that.

Well, I just looked in his drawer.

He took everything.
Even the compass.

What time did he get up?
When he left?

Uncle, I don't have a watch.

I'm still little.

We'd like five korunas'
worth of sausages, please.

How many will there be for five korunas?

Is the dog with you?
- No, I'm with him.

What is the difference?

A big one.

Now get out before I get mad.

But why?

Haven't you seen the sign on the door?

No dogs allowed.

And customers?

Shut up and get out.

Silvo is a customer.

I'm with him because he can't speak
human and you wouldn't understand him.

Customers are not forbidden to enter.

We should write in the complaints book.

He refused to serve the customer.

Get lost,
or I'll carry you out in my teeth.

And he used bad language.

You're gonna have to go there, Maros.

For five korunas, two sausages.

You better tell him they're for you.

He doesn't like animals.

He's not answering.

Just leave it ringing.

Maybe he just stepped out for a minute.

If they're not there either.

I'll have to report it to the police.

Understand, I'm responsible for him.

What if something happened to him?

I like these with pepperoni.

We could only get one
of these for each of us.

Let's get something cheaper.

The ones with potato salad,
we can have two for each of us.

I don't like potato salad,
let's have it with pepperoni.

Okay, then.

And one gnocchi.
- Okay, let's go.

And one gnocchi.
- And these cocoa.

And two cocoa, thank you.

Thank you.
- Okay, get the cutlery.

I have an idea.

Where is the nearest police station please?

Around the corner, on Sturova.
What do you want there?

Something happened?
- No.

Not nothing. Actually... I just wanted to
arrange something in there.

Thank you. Goodbye.
Let's go.

I don't understand.

What birthmark?

What do you want?

On TV and why?

Silvo.

Well, for all the
people to be able

to see this round
birthmark on TV.

Do you think two boys in the world

can have the same birthmark?

I'm sure my mom would recognize me.

Get dressed.

Silvo.

Can't you see there's a lady?

So what?

What mom?

Whose mom.

Maros thinks he's been switched.
In the maternity ward.

And maybe his mom would recognize him
if you put him on a TV missing persons.

But I think they just put him there.

Whether he's got a lentil
on his ass or not.

Well..

But don't tell him,
because we're brothers.

Wait, wait.

So you're brothers?

And where do you live.

Well, I'm at our uncle, I mean,
Grandpa Sirak's for the holidays.

Uncle Sirak is the janitor at our Home.

And what's your name

Tomas Pipka,
Konvalinkova 11, Travniky

And you?

Marian Durina, Children's home
Dolna Lehota, postal code...

So you're brothers?

You live in Konvalinkova and you live
in a Home in Lehota.

Mommy loves one of you.

And she got rid of the other.

You two misfits, what are you making up?

And what's the dog's name?

Ari von...

I can't remember.

Is yours or yours?

He belongs to Professor Hagar.

You don't know his name
and he's not yours.

No.

And where does this professor live?

In Delhi.

Boys.

Really, comrade captain, in Delhi.

And how did he get here from India?

Normally. He stayed here.

The professor put up an ad.

To entrust the dog to a reliable...

...in short. I'm a dog's foster mom
and I get 300 a month for it.

All right.

We'll verify all of that.

But...

But woe to you, if... Well?

Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

What's in your backpack?

All in all, nothing.

Then why are you carrying it?

Well, like a schoolbag.

But... wait, that's... that's different.

No, it's not.
I lug my schoolbag around all year.

So I wear a backpack over the holidays.

Your hands are free.

I'd introduce it for moms.

For shopping.

Let me see what you got there.

What's up?

Eva, call Matejka.

I know, young men.

You have plenty of time,
it's the holidays, so have fun.

But, we have to work.

Give me that leash.

Comrade captain...
- Matejka. Escort these boys.

Konvalinkova 11.

Check to see if
they live there,

if they're lying, if
they've done anything.

Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Affirmative.

Hey, cap.

And see if the dog has done anything wrong.

Yes.
Let's go.

Hi, Pipo.
Are you home yet?

How come you go to races with big cyclists.

Do you know him?

No, why?

She knows me.

She goes to school with me.

Let's go.

Did they steal that dog, comrade?

And you had to arrest them?

They're not home.

My dad's still at work and my mom
probably went to the hospital.

She's still a little sick.

Hello.
- Hello.

Are they not home?

Yay
- I will take it, ma'am.

You? But you can't,
it's registered mail.

All the way from India.

Wait, let me at least
show you the stamps, okay?

Who is this letter for?

Mr. Tomas Pipka.

But that's me.
- You?

You're the mister?

Come on, you.

Can you write?
- Yes.

All right, Mr. Pipko, you'll sign here.
Kindly.

Well, great.

Thank you very much, goodbye.

Goodbye.
- Bye boys. - Goodbye.

The professor won't be back for two years.
He'll be there to lecture.

And we get to keep Silva.

That's fantastic.
Hooray, he's ours.

Hooray, we have a dog.
Hooray.

We have a dog, hurray.

We have a dog.

We have a dog.

We have, we have, we have a dog.

We have a dog.

He's ours, We have a dog.

We have a dog. He's ours.

We have a dog.

Hurrah, he's ours.

What are you shouting about, Pipo?

Your mom's not home,
she went to town.

You know him, ma'am?

I know him, of course,
from his birth.

Well, boys.

Wait here for Mom and be on your best.

And no running around town, okay?

Goodbye.

Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Aunt Kasajova, what time is it, please?

Just after two o'clock, I think.

Maros, trouble.
- What trouble?

You know where we're
supposed to be at four?

Aunt Kasajova, please tell Mom

we had to go back to Grandpa's
because we're treating swans.

Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Pipo!

Maros!

Pipo! Maros!

Maybe they really aren't there.

Pipo!

Maros!

Over there, Uncle. Poachers.

You're a poacher yourself.

Have you seen those heroes of ours?

There's no one far and wide

They vanished early this morning
and we don't know where.

They'll probably be at their campsite.

They're not there, we just drove by.

If we don't find them, guys,
the headmastress will alert the police.

A little more.

Follow me.

Is that you, neighbor?

Ah, hello.
- Hello.

Pipo was here with some boy
and they had a dog.

He tells you they
couldn't wait because

they went to some
uncle's to treat the swans.

Do you understand that?

I understand. Thank you.
I'm sorry, but I have a phone call.

Hello, is that you?

Up, slowly.

They were here a little while ago.
Just relax. They left for the train.

I just had a couch delivered.

And a cheap one.

The double bed.

Please don't panic,
we'll be there in an hour.

Bye.

Well, please, come on.

Are you expecting an addition,
Mrs. Pipkova?

And you know we're expecting?

This very day.

Please, don't joke.

Mrs. Pipkova.

Richard is fine now.

Now he should get up a courage
and try to take off.

Hop.

Help!

Maros, hang on, I'll be right there.

Maros, hold on.

Hold on.

Don't worry, Maros.

Don't worry.
Don't worry.

So you can't swim?

That's why you were always
going around the bay.

Maros!

The aunt headmistress tells
you to go pack your stuff.

And why are you all wet?

We felt like taking a bath in our clothes.

You seafarers.

Bye.

Bye.
-Bye.

Bye.

Why should I go pack my stuff?

You don't know?

You're moving.

Well, where to again?

Well, to your place.

You said you are brothers, didn't you?

But don't forget, Maros.

When I'm big, you'll marry me.

And we're gonna have a bunch of kids.

Where would we get them?

We're gonna go get them
at the children's home.
