04x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

Ms. Schwarz is suspected of

to have committed a crime.

Her mother was m*rder*d.

Where were you at the time mentioned?
- We were all here.

She lied. She was not in
Possenhofen at the time of the crime.

I got the opportunity
to become Minister of Justice.

Ludwig suggests to me

that I would marry the
Prime Minister's daughter.

Marry her.

I still have one request.

Don't ride.

[Georg] You can't
win against me.

You want to take away
my family's home, why?

That's none of your business.

Ludwig has a dark side to him.

He won't make you happy.

I haven't received an
answer from you yet.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You asked me
to check on your mother.

This morning she was at the cemetery.

But not at your father's grave.

[Sisi] I want to know
what kind of grave this is.

Give me back our race.

*rolling thunder*

*Music*

*rolling thunder*

*rolling thunder*

I would like to change clothes.

[Georg] An anchor?

Have you ever been to the sea?

I always want to.

Once across,
to America.

Why are you never?

I don't know.

Maybe it's too far from home.

*rolling thunder*

It must have been hard for
Losing you, Possenhofen.

I felt for years
after we moved out

kept secretly sneaking
back into the castle.

At some point it got
me Your father caught.

And? Did he stretch your ears?

No. Not your father.
On the contrary.

From then on he always left
the washhouse door open for me.

I miss him.

I understand that.

If that's how you feel about him...

...why did you take
the lock from him?

He legally acquired
it from your family.

My father had no choice, than to sell,

and your father took advantage of that.

*Music*

My father was different than yours.

He was a chamberlain
for the princes in the area.

A dutiful,
ambitious man.

His greatest
happiness was probably

that he met my mother.

She never cared
about wealth or titles.

When she was doing well,
she charmed the whole family.

And if she wasn't feeling well?

What did she have?

A heavy heart.

Sometimes from now on.

It was like a light
suddenly going out.

My father bought
Possenhofen for them.

The light there,
the trees, the water.

She loved it.

It protects them from their demons,
she once said.

[Georg as a child]
Mom, we're back.

Guess what I brought you.

[Georg] But her
grief was stronger,

and one day it pulled
her heart to the depths.

*Music*

I'm sorry,
what you had to experience.

I hid something in
the castle back then,

to protect her from her demons.

What?

Oh, just a boy's play.

Where did you hide it?

Up in the hallway,
between the 2 stairs.

There was a panel loose back then.

But it has definitely
been renovated long ago.

What is?

Possenhofen also means a lot to me.

Since my father died,

The demons seem to be back.

*Music*

Do you want to go?

I can understand that you don't
want to compete against me,

but I can't accept that.

[sighs]

Do you really want to
ride this race against me?

Yes!

Then that's how it should be.

*Music*

*Music*

Good morning

Where is Sophie Charlotte?

She locked herself in again.

What is that?

This, mother,
is a personal letter.

From?

By Katharina Maillinger,
Daughter of the Prime Minister.

You know her from the opera.

I'm going to
propose to her today.

I know how you feel.

But sometimes we can let go of

ours Don't let feelings deceive you.

Yes, you are very good at that.

As a young girl...

...I met a man at your aunt's

wedding, who meant the world to me.

Dom Miguel. From Portugal.

He asked for my hand in
marriage while he was still in Vienna.

But you didn't let your
feelings deceive you?

On the contrary: I was head
over heels in love with him.

But my father
rejected his request.

Because Dom Miguel started a
rebellion against his father, the king,

instigated.


himself was crowned king

and immediately
renewed his application.

But you refused?

I would never have done that.

But...

His letter came in 4 days,

after I said yes to your father.

At first I didn't have
any big feelings for Max.

But our love has been able
to grow steadily over the years

and therefore kept
until the end.

I am very grateful for that.

To your father.

*Music*

*distant conversations*

He was certainly smaller than dad,
or?

A little smaller.

A wonderful dancer...

Your Highness, where...
- Shh.

Where were you then?
- Stroll.

At this time?

Why not?

Count Grünne asked about you.
He awaits you in the stables.

Don't you want to take another bath?

* horse neighing *

*Music*

Stop!

Stop!

The stagecoach
doesn't stop on the way.

Next in 4 hours.
- Damn, stop!

Damned.

*Music*

Stop!

h*.

What is a pretty girl doing alone
in the forest early in the morning?

The pretty girl wants
to go to Munich.

Something needs to be clarified.

Then it's probably important.

Come on.

And come on, you two, let's go. Hua.

*Music*

This was added to the grave.

It is the grave
of a small child.

What kind of child was that?

It could be a child to
have been your mother.

But why didn't she
ever tell us about it?

Maybe she didn't
want to share her pain.

I should have left it alone.

Your mother won't find out anything.

Your Highness, I know You are the first to share

your mother's pain, losing a child understands.

But she may be involved

deeper than the police know.

This shoe print was next to the

Body of Adele Schwarz found, size 39.

Does a stable master
wear such fine shoes?

What stands out is this
Notch on back left heel.

This should allow us
to identify the owner.

And I spoke to the coachman.

He dropped your mother off at
Adele's house shortly before the crime.

Maybe she was blackmailed
by Adele Schwarz?

That would give her a motive.

I can't believe my mother
would do something like that.

Max wouldn't be the 1st Duke, the...

I suspect
Your mother had frayed nerves.

Who knows what happened
between the two women?

Linda's mother was
shot at close range.

* rumble *

Do you want me to
investigate this further?

No.

Please look for the best
lawyer you can find in Bavaria.

He should help you,
to get Linda out of this.

As you wish, Your Highness.

*Music*

*Music*

[Wilhelmine]
You called for me, your highness?

I would like to
set up a telegram.

It's supposed to go to Vienna today.

Of course, Your Highness.
I'll get the writing materials.

"Dear sister,
you once warned me

every intrigue has its price.

In the last few days
I have had to learn

how right you were about that.

Even if it means
betraying my daughter,

I don't see any other way,

than to write you the truth
about what Sisi is doing."

*Music*

If you would please wait,
Duchess.

I'll inform the king.

Can you take me
to him straight away?

King Ludwig is busy
Duchess.

I'll see what I can do.

*Peacock screech*

*Music*

Duke?

Your Excellency.

What are the flowers for?
- For your daughter.

[Katharina] Father, who is there?

I'm sorry, your honor,

that I am only now
accepting your invitation.

I hope you've thought
about what you want.

I have that.

[grumbles]

[sighs]

*Peacock screech*

What are you doing,
if I walk through here?

The king is certainly
proud of you,

how you guard him so speechless.

*Music*

You guys are really tough guys.

Don't swallow.

What?
- This is chewing gum.

The latest invention from America.

It's better not to swallow it.

Rather?

Chew.

There is a being of flesh
and blood living within you.

I wait in vain,

the servant won't take
me to the king, right?

[clears throat]

[quiet] down stairs, 2nd door on the left,
down the portico.

The window outside
is usually ajar.

You didn't get it from us.

[he clears his throat]

[he clears his throat]
A coat.

*Music*

[Ludovika] Wilhelmine?
[Wilhelmine] Yes, ma'am?

Did Sophie Charlotte show up?

Sorry, your room
door is still locked.

*Music*

*Music*

"I am strong omnipotent
Ruler by the grace of God.

Pure power flows in my veins."

"I am the sun and the light and
the victory over the darkness."

*Music*

*Footsteps approaching*

[King Ludwig] I
can't deal with it,

that's too much, far too much.

[sighs]

Your Majesty, this Duchess
has been waiting for hours.

Yes, you've already
told me that 5 times.

Your Highness, this poor young lady.

Can't I at least
tell her something?

How obtuse can you be?

This naive, stupid thing!

[Servant] Then should
I keep them waiting?

Yes, hopefully she will
give up at some point.

Yes, your majesty.

Stop!
- Yes, your highness?

Was anyone in my chambers?

[Servant] But no, Your Highness.

*Music*

I can't explain this,
Your Highness.

You know full well that no one is
allowed to enter this room without me!

Yes, Your Highness.

You don't have to show
up for work tomorrow!

Your Highness, I beg you...

Disappear!
- Yes, Your Highness.

The servant is not to blame.

Her?

Did you really mean it like that?

What?

What did you just say?
About me?

No. What did I say?

Why are you keeping me waiting?
- Because I'm very busy.

So busy
that you have forgotten me?

What do you want, Duchess?

An answer.

On what?
- You know that exactly.

You have no idea how many
people meet me every day

ask any questions and
want to have answers to that.

You will have to be
patient like everyone else.

Because I mean nothing
to you like everyone else?

Don't forget,
who stands before you, Duchess.

I don't owe you an answer.

*Music*

*Door is closed*

*Music*

Sisi, are you okay?
- Yes. It's all ok.

You rode again.

May I ask why?

The race is canceled after all.

Mom, this Friday afternoon,
when Linda's mother was m*rder*d,

where were you?

I was at the cemetery.

Can anyone attest to this?

No. That's why I
didn't tell the police.

*Music*

Your Highness,
a message from Possenhofen.

Thanks.

[Ludovika] "Dear sister,
you once warned me

Every intrigue has its price."

*Music*

Message from Possenhofen.

*Music*

[Henriette] Louis, what are you up to?
[Louis] See what?

How come?

Wait, carefully.

Stand still.

Here.

Slow.

Louis, tell me what you're up to,
I hate surprises.

Yes I know.

Stand here.

Voila.

Where are we?
- In your new apartment.

As a married public figure

I will no longer simply be with
the most beautiful and greatest

and most famous singer
in Munich can come and go.

That's why we'll meet
here from now on.

This is the salon, but we can

always set it up differently.

As you like.

And this...

...is the bedroom.

You're well on your way,
to do all honor to your father.

Yes, you're right.

Thanks.

Gladly.

The Council has scheduled my
election as Minister for next week.

You will win this
election, Mr. Minister.

And this...

This will be our wicked secret.

*Music*

I found these in
my mother's room.

I want you to
secure them for me.

Nobody is allowed to find her.

Should I destroy them for you?

These shoes are proof
that your mother was at the crime scene.

And they could exonerate Linda.

I have to think about it.

But not for too long.

A stable hand testified,

that your father
gave Linda a p*stol.

The caliber corresponds exactly to that
that stuck in Adele's head.

The weapon has disappeared without a trace.

Your Highness, Avalon would be ready.

Give me some more time.

[Stable boy] We have shod
the irons for sandy ground.

Then let's see

whether Avalon can compete
with the times of Pastorius.

[Avalon snorts]

*Music*

* bell ringing *

[Avalon neighs]

*Music*

[Esterhazy] What a start.

*Music*

Go ahead, Avalon.

[Avalon neighs]

You promised me
never to get on a horse again!

It's my responsibility.

You are no longer in your senses,
Sisi.

Did you want to get into a
saddle at the Oktoberfest race?

If I don't ride this race,
I'm losing my home.

You are the Empress of Austria!

What about my family?

Your family? Are you talking
about your husband and children?

Prepare everything.

The Empress and I are traveling
back to Vienna as quickly as possible!

*Music*

Have you betrayed me?

How could you?

I fight for our family,
for our home,

and you stab me in the back.

What are you hiding?
What are you afraid of?

I know you were
with Adele that day

and that it is your footprint
that the police found in the blood.

What weighs so heavy
that you are ready

to sacrifice our home?

I didn't k*ll that woman.

You don't need to know anything more.

What about Linda?

She lost her mother and
is innocently in prison.

How can you be responsible for that?

I didn't k*ll that woman.

*Music*

Good.

I will now return to
Vienna with Franz.

Against my will.

Do the right thing. Otherwise
my sister will pay the price.

Maybe even with her life.

*Music*

[George] “Dear Lord Jesus,
please protect this house

and all its inhabitants
from the demons.

This soldier will help you with that.

May no misfortune ever happen here.
Amen."

*Music*

I'm sorry,
that I have to leave you alone.

Do not worry.

I will find us a new
home. Somehow.

You will make the right
decision. Also for you.

But first you win the election.

Yes.

Don't let it get you down, okay?

Neither do you.

You always have a place in Vienna.

I'll miss you.

Same to you.

*Music*

*Music*

[Sisi] "Georg Basselet,
if you read these lines,

I'm on my way back to Vienna.

The corset,
which you have sworn off,

closes tightly around me again.

And I'm afraid
I don't have the courage to do it

to free myself from it.

The only consolation
what remains to me is

that my homeland falls
into the hands of someone,

who cares about her as
much as she does to me."

[Louis] "Henriette Mendel
shines in the Munich opera."

What are you doing?

Nothing for the first time in days.

And why all dressed
up in your dress uniform?

My election as Minister
of Justice is coming up.

I have sorted the men
in order of preference.

*Music*

[Fists] Gentlemen,
we have gathered today,

to vote on it,
whether Duke Ludwig Wilhelm in Bavaria

can succeed me as
Minister of Justice.

I very much hope that all
cabinet colleagues present

will agree.

*Music*

Gentlemen Ministers.

Your Majesty.

*Music*

As a scion of one of the oldest and
most influential families in Europe

I have a portion of conservative
Values ​​instilled in the cradle.

And yet...

...my father gave me his
Worldview given a gift.

He helped me
also to think outside the box.

Gentlemen, I will
The trust you place in me

not abuse it and dedicate myself to

Yes that would be nice.

*Music*

Duchess, Inspector Jerome.

Thank you for making
the effort to get out here.

You can leave us alone now.

[Wilhelmine] Yes, your highness.

I hope you like apple strudel.

The apples come from our garden.

Yes very much.

I would like to apply
for house arrest.

I am aware of this, Whatever I tell you,

you will declare me
the main suspect.

I would spend the days until Would
like to spend the negotiation here.

[Man] You are free.

No worries,
there is no risk of escape.

These walls mean everything to me.

And I may never see her again.
