03x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

We have decided to start
your military training now.

Help me free my son.

I'll only return when you
let me take care of our son.

Wake up!

And we wanted to go
on a trip, remember?

We're going now.

Stop!

This is not a place
for an empress.

How can you get us out of town?

I have to go
somewhere with my son.

Stop!

One of the workers fell
from the building's roof.

That's my father.

We won't just keep
working like this.

So, next we need a suit for you.

You have to learn
the Uyghur etiquette.

And you have to
be able to dance.

I want that suit!

I'm going to a place where your
husband will never meet you.

Look at that.

The sea.

Weapons.

We need weapons.




How many b*ll*ts?



And now we have g*ns.



They're loaded with ammunition.

They were stolen from one of
our weapons' firing points,

very close to the Volksfest.

The guards who were in
charge of the weapons

assume that they
were simple men.

Do we have any
idea who they were?

I'm not sure.

Find those weapons.

But be discreet.

I don't want blood to flow here.

We can't let these people
get wind into our sails.

Is there any news from Sissi?

We found out that she was
staying at a guest house

with a woman from outside.

But after that,
every trace is lost.

Let this poem dry.

Then she'll come back to you.

That's the last thing I'd do.

And go.

Hold on tight, okay?

Welcome to my home.

I'm so excited.

You should know one more thing.

My father...

He's a nice guy, but...

He doesn't like Austrians.

Why?

He was against your country
when he was in the field.

He still has a ball of
an Austrian in his leg.

But he'll get over it.

Papa!

Alma! What a surprise!

Papa!

It's so nice to see you.

And who is this?

These are my friends.

This is Margarete.

And her son, yes, Julius.

From Berchtesgaden.

Bonjour, Monsieur. Thank
you for your hospitality.

Berchtesgaden, yes?

Papa!

My son always wanted
to see the sea.

Are you a fisherman?

Can you teach me
how to catch fish?

Well, then come in.

You must be hungry.

Time for dinner.

Couldn't you have chosen a suit that wouldn't
be guarded by two of those bone-breakers?

No, it's perfect. Just
look at the color.

But there won't be
any voluntarily.

I know.

That's why you're going in the cylinder, and while the two
servants are following you, I'll take care of the gentleman.

What kind of stupid
plan is that?

Aren't you sad about something?

I am.

You can easily get rid of the two
musketeers. They must be really...

slow.

Or you can take the
baton and then...

Of course.

Get my cylinder back!

Good evening, gentlemen.

There are two ways
we can solve this.

Either we...

Also cool.

Watch out, it's fast!

Slow down! We're not slow!

Stop!

I'll get you!

You'll see.

Wait!

And now I'm doing this?

Yes.

And now you have
to read the degree.



That means we're over...



That's right.

Mom?

I'm afraid that everything
is going to get worse.

How do you know that?

You left dad alone.

And all just because of me.

But that's not
your fault, Rudolf.

Sometimes your father
and I don't agree.

And he and I have to
explain that to each other.

And we two, we're
having a good time now.

I'm sure your dad would
wish the same for you.

Who are you really?

And where were you?

You can't even...

I'm sorry.

So, how do you like it?

The Hofball can come, right?

Yes, it looks good.

At least it doesn't fall down.

And this one, I found
it in the side pocket.

Half and half?

You're taking the Empress
of Austria out of here!

Dad, what happened?

Tell your friend from Berchtesgaden to
pack her things and get out of here!

Back then, in Solferino, thousands of men, like
animals, were suffocated in their own blood.

Just because this man, this woman, didn't
want to accept the freedom of the Italians!

And here, in this leg,
there's still a...

Dad!

Yes, that's enough!

Out!

Ama, your father is right.

We're leaving your
house tonight.

Come on, Rudolf.

Mom!

Mom!

I also wish that this should
never happen again in Solferino.

Do you want to know
why we fled Vienna?

Because my husband gave
my son to the military.

Franz had to go to the army as a child,
like all the other successors before him.

And he believes that this is the
only right way for a future emperor.

And you have a
different opinion?

A good emperor should first learn to
seek the path of peace in my eyes,

instead of leading
bloody battles.

Santé. Welcome to our island.

And tomorrow I'll show
you how to catch fish.

That's what an emperor
should be able to do.

You wanted to talk to me?

How did it feel
on the other side?

On the side of the workers?

For a hard life.

There are now 200 army
revolvers out there.

My people are
darping over there.

And my wife is over all
the mountains with my son.

And I thought I was
already at the bottom.

Aren't you?

I'm afraid not.

The Russian Tsar wants to
end the alliance with France.

If he does, Bismarck
will take over Russia.

And the two of us will
have breakfast together.

What are you up to now?

To prevent Bismarck.

You want to win the
Tsar's alliance?

He'll take it out
on the Kremlin.

There's only one person in this
empire who could k*ll the Tsar.

Your mother?

You want to go to Bad Ischl?

Believe me, I'd rather run naked
over the Prada than ask for help.

And now hold on tight.

If someone bites, I'll sh**t.

My father is
starting to like you.

Even though we're Austrians.

I suppose you can't get to
my Viennese daily newspaper.

They don't even
have a French one.

And any way to telegraph?

Not here, but down
in the village.

Please, Countess Esther.

Yes, mademoiselle.

Merci beaucoup.

Done.

I asked my husband
for an ultimatum.

I told him I'd only come back if he
let me take over Rudolf's upbringing.

If Franz agrees to my terms,

he'll have a certain poem printed
in the Viennese daily newspaper.

I want my full right of freedom,

then I'll change
the restrictions...

My paradise will be a prison.

You know Heine?

Yes.

Yes.

The answer won't come any
sooner than we expect.

Enough with the whistling.

Come, I'll show you
my favorite beach.

Mother, father.

What's that?

Your son.

I have a son?

Yes, Franz Kahn.

He's the emperor of Austria.

Ah.

We weren't even told
you were coming.

Do you still receive me?

I'd like to talk
to you in private.

Under four eyes.

Your father and I don't have
any secrets from each other.

Mother, Austria needs your help.

That means you need my help.

You've always informed me of
the plans of the Russian Tsar.

I assume you still have a Russian
court in your good memory.

Why do you ask?

As you may already know, the Tsar
announced his alliance with France.

I assume you want to win
the Tsar over for yourself.

If you had helped him conquer
Crimea as I advised you,

you wouldn't have
any problems now.

Mother, I wouldn't be here if
it weren't for w*r and peace.

I sacrificed everything for you.

For your reign.

I even took my husband away
from me, so you could be happy.

This time is over.

So that means no.

I realize we
understand each other.

You didn't sacrifice
yourself for me, Mother.

Your love has always
been Austria's.

But it seems that even this
love has now been extinguished.

I wish you a good day.

What about the rope?

You won't tell him, will you?

Why should I tell him?

I've heard that you lost
your dancing partner,

along with your son.

What do you know about that?

Do you think I know
where your wife went?

Unfortunately, that's
not my expertise.

The court ball is the most
important court event of the year.

The Crown is also vulnerable
without the Empress.

This is not a beach.

Isn't there enough
wine, little Empress?

Come on.

Come on.

What are you going to do?

Let yourself be surprised.

Do you want to jump down?

Are you afraid?

It's just the sea.

But you know what?

I didn't want to jump either
when I first heard about it.

We'll meet down there.

What are you waiting for?

Come on!

Come on!

What's up?

I'm sorry, Oberhofmeister.

A telegram for you.

Did anyone see you?

No, why?

Dear Countess Esterhazy,

Rudolf and I are safe.

Don't worry.

Please keep an eye on Gisela

and let me know if my husband
is willing to let the poem dry.

Until then, I wish
you all confidence

and hope to see you again soon.

This morning, ten of
us were fired again.

They piss on us

when we build this goddamned
roundabout for the World Exhibition.

It's time we...

That we what?

Distribute the
weapons and use them.

What's my little brother
doing up there in the room?

Didn't you know?

Gustav has a girlfriend now.

So, what do you do when the
emperor enters the room?

I'll k*ll him.

All right. And then?

Bow.

Please.

Lower.

Lower.

Lower.

Much lower.

Much lower.

I can't do that.

All right.

What do you do when the
emperor comes and does this?

Come on.

Stop. That's not a matwurst
you want to express.

Do you want me to show you?

No, no. Let me try again.

But not with your lips.

What do you do when your husband
doesn't let the poem dry?

Mom.

Mom. Mom, look what I've caught.

Look.

Look.

There.

That's a wolf perch.

He pulled it out of the
water all by himself.

It's huge.

Your grandpa would have
said, a fine fellow.

Come on, let's take a picture.

Yes.

Did you have a good time?

What are you doing here?

We're taking the clothes
off your maidens.

In case you change your
mind and let the poem dry.

I'll ask you one more time.

Where is my wife?

She dictated her farewell
letter to me in the spring.

Don't tell me you're
not in contact with her.

It's up to you to get her back.

Out.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Rudolf and my father went out to
fish with the boat at four o'clock.

He looks really happy.

Don't you think?

Yes, he does.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing. Everything's fine.

Come on, say it.

Nothing, really.
Everything's fine.

Who is she?

A dancer from Paris.

May I?

And this?

I did that in Paris, too.

The woman from the
Spanish consul.

If your husband knew.

Do you go to Paris often?

As often as I can.

I would bet that you
like this city, too.

With all the exciting things
that are happening there.

The ladies on the court ball tonight
will fall in awe, Your Majesty.

Your optimism has
always amazed me.

Franz!

I'm just coming from
the construction site.

Mrs. Bernheim has
already left the works.

And the remaining ones
are about to collapse.

Do you know what you're doing?

I know, yes.

But my mother won't help me.

Russia and the German Empire will
soon form a military alliance.

I have to prepare
this country for w*r.

I need every cross.

I'm afraid that if you go on like
this, you won't have a country anymore.

Before anyone can think
of a w*r against you.

Let alone the people who want
to risk their lives for you.

Who are you closer to?

Yes.

These workers.

Or the Crown.

Our guests are already arriving.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I need another minute.

The men are ready.

Ready.

What is your order?

Find the stolen weapons.

Whatever.

Is it good now?

Listen again.

We fill our bags and
leave as soon as possible.

Aye, aye, sir.

Good evening.

I am Antoinette Pasqualina, Countess
Metternich-Schando of Vienna.

Here.

The brooch of my mother.

Do you recognize the
weapon of Metternich?

Very well.

Excuse me, Countess.

And who are you?

Georg, Count of
Wallstein-Herzog-Wartenberg.

A fiancé.

I congratulate you.

Salut, Karin.

Salut.

What's up?

I'm a friend from Vienna.

We've heard about you.

How do you like the island?

It's beautiful here.

Are you hungry or do
you want to dance?

Dance.

Let's go.

Hey, Joseph.

Are you free?

Sit down.

Did they throw you
out this morning?

Not yet.

What are you playing?

Warten.

Time for losers.

Aren't we all losers
in this country?

I'm in.

What's wrong with your hand?

King Gritz.



w*r.

w*r.

sh*t w*r.

Get ready, men.

Oh, chic.

Oh, sorry.

What do you think?

Beautiful colors.

Wonderful.

Good day.

Have a nice evening.

Gustav.

Pull yourself together.

We're not...

Um...

Who did that?

There are more.

Mesdames et messieurs.

The emperor.

Hureit.

Since your wife is a wh*re,

I want you to cancel
the opening dance.

I'll do it myself.

Who do you want to do it with?

Who's this woman?

That's...

Antoinette Pascalina, Countess
Metternich-Chandor of Winneburg.

The daughter of my
attaché in Paris?

Countess Metternich-Chandor
of Winneburg.

Yes.

I assume you left Paris in
the wake of the unrest there?

Uh-huh.

I once gave this
brooch to your mother.

Uh, yes, my mother.

You must have been out of breath

when you met her, Your Highness.

Just like me today.

May I ask you to do
the opening dance?

Attention!

The emperor's mother,
Duke Sophie of Austria.

I just got here in time, Franz.

For the opening dance.

Here.

Mother.

My contact with Zahlexander

will invite me to the first
talks in the coming days.

Are you satisfied?

Besides, you won't
mind if we stay.

We?

I brought your father
along, of course.

On the ground! Now!

All of you!

Hands behind your heads!

Where are the weapons?

Where are the weapons?

Where are the...

Get out of here!

Get out.

You haven't lost anything.

Get out!

Olli!

What's going on? What
happened up there?

Let's get out of here.

Why?

Please.

Just come.

Countess Metta, don't be shy.

One moment.

I'm sorry.

I didn't want to risk
you at the opening dance.

Allow me to make up for it.

Where were you buried?

Here in Vienna?

The name of the hotel?

What's the name of the hotel?

Uh...

Grand Hotel Vienna.

The streets are not
particularly safe tonight.

I'd like to send an escort.

Please escort these
ladies to the Grand Hotel.

And don't pretend to be
safe and sound in your room.

I'm inviting you to the world
exhibition's grand opening banquet.

I'd be happy if you and your
fiancé would be my guests.

It was a pleasure.

A carriage is ready.

Thank you for bringing us here.

I haven't been this
happy in a long time.

Franz shouldn't interfere.

Who knows?

I could never imagine how
people would feel here.

Not many people would do that.

To give up everything you
have for their conviction.

Do you think I should
take a picture of you?

Me?

Come on, let's dance again.

What's wrong?

Anna.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Anna.

What's wrong?

Anna.

Who are you?

I found your wife.
