03x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

You've made me the happiest
mother in the world.

We've decided that you'll
start military education now.

Are you going to
cancel all of this?

Austria-Hungary needs
a strong emperor.

Wait, you dirty b*stard.

Quite a rabbi for
such a fine lady.

What do you want, Mr. Hofburg?

To die as much as I can.

On the grounds of the World
Exhibition, death is a rebellion.

Some of us can
barely keep the cell.

I want to know what
his people think.

I want to know what they think.

Maybe Rudolf will stand in front of
burning barricades sooner than we like it.

Help me free my son.

Moaz, wait!

Did you really mean that?

I'm leaving with Rudolf tonight.

Griffin, good night.

Please, Sissi.

Trust me.

I just want the
best for all of us.

For our son, too.

I'll keep an eye on Rudolf.

Believe me, he's
grown up with me.

You know, I'm afraid that...

everything will
change at some point.

Both our grief
and our happiness.

Much more simple.

Moaz, talk to me.

What are you planning?

Talk to me!

This! I'll take this.

No, I'll do it myself.

Please, write a letter for me.

Dear Franz,

if you read these lines,

I'll have already left
Vienna with Rudolf.

You should know that this
step is not easy for me.

But I'll only come back...

if you let me raise our son.

If you're ready...

to fulfill this wish of mine,

then please let Heinrich Heine
print the following lines...

in the Vienna daily newspaper.

I want my full right of freedom,

because if I were
to restrict it,

my paradise...

would turn into hell and prison.

Yours, Sissi.

Wait until tomorrow evening...

and hand over the
letter to my husband.

You want...

Wait a minute, you want...

without me?

I thought...

I need you here in the court.

You're the only
one I can trust...

with my daughter Gisela,
who's my descendant.

You have a simple carriage...

without imperial guards.

Where do you want to go?

I can't tell you that,
for your own safety.

Do you really mean it?
Is this a good plan?

They're the best I can think of.

With this invitation, we'll be
among the richest of the rich.

But as soon as we're in...

we'll be on our own.

Exactly.

And so that you
don't do anything,

our raid is a one-off...

and after that, our paths
separate again, understood?

You're only coming
with us because you...

Because I don't believe in
good. I don't have a beer.

Well then...

let's take the court
as a Christmas present.

We don't want to exaggerate.

Mr. Mitterbrosche.

Wally.

What?

That's my name.

Didn't you want to know?

Gustav.

Come back tomorrow evening,
but bring some decent shoes...

so that you can still dance.

I only have these.

Go inside, count and tell me if
this summer is appealing to you.

Then bring me my son.

Gretchen.

What?

Where's the Empress?

I don't know what you mean.

You've always been a bad liar.

What's that?

Nothing.

Guards!

What?

What's that?

Your mother is here. Follow me.

Mom, what are you doing here?

We wanted to go on
a trip, remember?

Let's go.

Hurry!

Hurry up!

Search everything!

And now?

Now we have to put
on something else.

Put it on?

Come on, slip in there.

Stop!

Stop right now!

Drive!

Mom!

Stop!

Your Majesty, what
is your order?

Dad!

Why are we hiding from Dad?

Don't be afraid, my dear.
Everything will be fine.

Trust me, Rudolf.

Sit up and don't be afraid!

Drive faster!

Search the whole city!

Drive!

Come on, hurry!

One...

Herbal tea for Joan, please.

Thank you.



I can't change that.

I'll take that.

And a glass of
wine for the lady.

It's okay.

Thank you.

A glass of beer.

You know, Rudolf...

I wrote Dad a letter because I
don't want you to join the army.

And that we'll only come
back if you don't have to.

And...

wouldn't he be angry?

Is he still free?

He's already occupied.

Couture.

Next door.

This is not a place
for an empress.

Where did you put your legs?

Get on the coach!

Talk to me!

Where are my wife and son?

You don't know.

You don't know.

Lock the city!

No word to the public that
the empress has disappeared!

The search troops have moved on.

Thank you.

Why are you hiding
from your husband?

We are...

That's a long story.

Maybe you should
sleep a little too.

What are those boxes?

My life is in there.

You're a photographer.

Photographer?

Painter?

Hunter?

Don't worry, I...

hunt for moments.

I travel the world on my coach.

In search of...

courage...

longing...

courage.

And what did you find here?

In Vienna.

A lot of things.

And nothing.

I bought some new glasses
for my camera at an optician.

Tomorrow morning
I'm leaving again.

Can you take us out of town?

I have to go
somewhere with my son.

Where's mommy?

Is everything okay here?

Is everything okay?

No.

Sissi disappeared last night.

Disappeared?

With Rudolf.

But where?

I don't know, honey.

Do you have anything
to tell me, Max?

No.

But you're right.

Even if I were you,
I'd keep my mouth shut.

You can take poison for that.

What does that mean?

Mommy's gone.

With Rudolf?

Is she coming back?

Of course she's
doing it out of love.

She's your mom.

I can imagine that you're happy
with your daughter's decision.

I'd never do that.

Still, I'd be connected to
you if this stays between us.

A message from Sissi's disappearance would be
expl*sive in the current political situation.

If I don't find Sissi by tomorrow, I'm
going to tell her that Rudolf kidnapped her.

As a cure.

Voila.

There's enough room
for you two in there.

That's easy.

That's where I usually hide
my equipment and thieves.

Have you ever been robbed?

Occasionally.

That's why...

I still have this.

Come on.

In with you.

Joali?

Is that you?

Yes.

I just wanted to...

It's nice to see you again.

Lotte's grown up.

I'll bring her more soon.

That might be enough for her to
visit school for a few years.

Do you want to see her?

She still has your doll.

As I see it, she's doing well.

Hurry up, people!

The crown doesn't
pay you for laziness!

Come on!

You too!

Come on!

The emperor wants his parliaments to be
ready for the World Exhibition in time.

What's going on now?

Calm down, father.

Take a break.

You're falling out
of the last hole.

I can't take a break.

The wall's been up
there since evening.

We'll never make it.

They'll burn us.

There's no reason not to run.

Come on.

Father!

Father!

Help!

I need help!

Come on.

Open your eyes.

Father.

What's going on?

Albert's father.
Is he still alive?

Everything's fine.

God bless you.

Get a stretcher!

I'm here.

He's just unconscious.
He's breathing.

And you!

Get back to work!

Go!

This construction site is directly
under the emperor's control.

No.

I want your father.

We won't just keep
working like this.

I'm warning you.

The crown's behind me.

Think about what
you're doing, Maurer.

You heard what I said.

The construction
site's closed tonight.

We'll pay for it.

Come on, let's take
him to the barracks.

Come on, get out of here.

Have we already left the
city border behind us?

Yes.

The last outpost still
happened half an hour ago.

You're safe.

Thank you.

What's your new plan?

Actually, we wanted to
take a ship from Trieste.

But now Franz will surely
check all the big ports.

If you want to.

I've been to a place where your
husband will never forget you.

What kind of place?

A small island
south of Marseille.

My home.

France?

Isn't that a bit dangerous?

For someone like us.

You mean because we chased
Napoleon to the devil?

Freedom, equality, brotherhood.

I think you should see
it with your own eyes.

We'll accept your offer.

Yes, Mrs. Hohold.

Sissi, Alma.

If we all get back on the
ship, we'll go to the sea.

Death to the monarchy!

Death to the emperor!

Death to the world order!

Death to the people!

Death to the people!

Death to the people!

Death to the people!

Death to the people!

Death to the people!

Stay on board or I'll sh**t you!

There was an accident at
the construction site today.

One of the workers fell
from a building frame.

These men do heavy work and get a
hunger lung and a thin soup every day.

Franz.

You should listen to what
these people have to say.

The court kitchen will now take over
the food at the construction site.

Spread the rumor that it
was an idea of the Empress.

I also want a big folk festival
at the Joserstädter Glacier.

The people should come
up with other ideas.

Music, dance, food for everyone.

I'll take care of it.

If you knew anything about
her, you would tell me, right?

We're leaving.

Sissi is gone.

She's your ultimate goal.

You chose a woman who simply got on
a horse in Bad Tischler and left.

No matter, back to Bavaria.

Thank you.

I remember that.

I searched all over Vienna
and couldn't find her.

Let's set up patrols at the
borders of Hungary and Bavaria.

Do you think Sissi
really left me?

The fascination with your wife is that
only she can answer this question.

You have to drink
something, father.

Just let me sleep.

Look who's there.

How are you, father?

Didn't you have to order
people out on the street?

Order people who
already have too much.

I also brought a dog.

You stole it.

Where's the difference?

Think about it!

Stop arguing, boys.

I'll leave it to you.

Very good, father.

Good morning, nurse.

Much better.

Stolen?

Borrowed.

Next we need a suit for you.

You have to learn the Hohefische Etikette,
at least so far that you don't notice.

And since we're going to a ball,
you have to know how to dance.

Can you dance?

Uh, yes.

Everyone can dance.

Aha.

Show me.

Uh, yes.

Have you ever heard a waltz?

So, your hand goes here.

With your other
hand you take mine.

Back straight.

Feet together.

And now?

Uh, yes.

No, uh...

Let's start with the steps.

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

One, two, three.

One, two.

One, two, three.

One...

That's a shitty idea,
it'll never work.

No, Walli, I can do it.

I'm, uh...

Yes, what are you?

Uh...

Able to learn?

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Are you looking for something
specific in this piece?

I have not given up hope, Your Majesty,
that you will let the poem be printed.

My wife sees something
like a friend in you now.

I assume you wouldn't tell me
if you were in contact with her.

You're right about that.

But I don't have to explain to you that
the path Sissi chose is more dangerous.

She's not just any woman.

And my son is not just any boy.

Your niece knows
what she's doing.

How's the mood
among the workers?

Still miserable,
what do you think?

Maybe they want to use the people's
festival for their promotion.

We have to be prepared for that.

Let a hundred civilians
mix in with the people,

and try to strengthen the staff.

And find out who the leader is!

Very well.

Tell me...

Look at that!

The new one.

How's my father?

Yes.

He's alive.

This is Kurt.

Valentin.

I'm Albert.

Josef.

What's with that suit?
We could stand there.

What? It looks happy.

What are you laughing at?

Nothing.

What nothing?

Well, you're pretty vain.

Like the fine madame from Paris.

There's the pig.

Don't do it.

Why not?

Why? We're not soldiers.

Not in uniform.

Do you still want to keep
your word, your majesty?

Do you see this outfit on
which you want to speak?

I'll take over.

Free beer for everyone!

We can't get away with this.

May I?

Are you crazy?

Come on, trust me.

I told you, I'm lazy.

The suit, I want it!

Hey, wait!

I think you should
show it to Rudolf.

Honey, wake up.

Wake up.

It looks great, doesn't it?

Look at that.

The sea.

I'm telling you, men.

Without his alms
and his free beer,

the people in Kaiserslautern
would have been blown away.

And without his soldiers.

Count and load.

We'll meet at the farm tomorrow.

I'm going to drink
with the boys.

Good.

See you tomorrow.

You don't trust him?

I do.

But we'll take the
next step alone.

What next step?
What do you mean?

Count and load.

You saw that he was awake.

Yes, I did.

Weapons.

We need weapons.

There was an attack
on one of our weapons.

Good day, Monsieur.

Good day.

We heard you can buy
bread for an attack.

Your mother is a special woman.

May we choose hers?

She is the Empress of Austria.

Of course, mademoiselle.

That's very kind of you.

As a decision,
thank you very much.

Merci.

Come on, what are
you waiting for?

Come on.

The two women and
the boy just now.

Where are they going?
