Original subtitles

- We need her alive! - Take the horse.

Where is the empress?

Traitors!

You're not leaving until we get to know each other, are you?

- Sit me down! - Let her go.

You just ruined the loan agreement with the French.

- Take her back to Vienna. - Come here.

Back to that prison? It is much worse than Sisi said!

What has Sisi said?

- Ask her yourself. - As you want.

If I say so, can I come along?

She said the court is like a tight corset -

- which will quickly suffocate her.

Hop ind.

Is it true that war is about to break out?

Not if things go well for Sisi in Hungary.

I have chosen a side.

- What about you? - You guys are crazy.

Franz Joseph will wipe out Hungary if he finds out.

He doesn't figure anything out. At least not now.

Fine ...

- Now select page. - You sold our souls. To Bismarck!

You're the one selling our souls to an emperor who doesn't care about -

- that our people are dying in the streets.

- You are a disgrace to your wife. - How dare you?

Emanuelle. There must be another solution.

Mind your own business!

Sibling love.

Your master is a cursed traitor.

With permission.

Hurry up!

Where are they taking us?

To a place where your husband won't find us.

- Take me to your commander. - And who do I have to report?

Countess Esterhazy, Empress Consort of Austria.

Take me to your commander at once!

Boys away!

Then it stops!

They are ... Countess Esterhazy.

Empress Elisabeth has been abducted.

... and besides, our reinforcements will take three weeks ...

Your Majesty.

The empress has been abducted by Hungarian rebels.

What?

- It's from Countess Esterhazy. - It's terrible.

- Has the emperor been notified? - They must travel to Hungary immediately.

- What about Franz? - They know my son.

What does he do when he hears it? We have to prevent a war, right?

They must tell him.

And lille hop.

One wrong word and you will regret it.

- Aunt Ludovica. - Franz.

Forgive me for not informing you earlier.

They are always welcome. Where is Sisi?

- Your daughter is in Hungary. - Hungary?

She is out on a political errand. So am I.

Excuse me, let me introduce Marie. Countess von Lotti.

I assume my father-in-law is indisposed again?

- He's not feeling so well. - My dear, wait now!

- Helene. - Good day, Your Majesty.

This is Maximilian Anton von Thurn und Taxis, my husband.

- A pleasure to finally meet you. - Your Majesty, it is an honor.

It is fantastic.

Honey, how many times have I said they don't lay eggs anymore?

Forgive us, Your Majesty.

- Go! - Wait for me!

May I ask how long the Duke is indisposed this time?

It's hard to say, but he feels better in the evening.

After a tear of cognac.

Hands off!

I hope your majesty had a good trip.

Well done, Emanuelle.

You are making a big mistake.

You know what the worst is?

When I look into your eyes...

... I no longer see the man she once loved.

I feel the same way.

The crown is ready to give Hungary 20 million guilders in aid.

There is only one crown for the Hungarians.

Saint Stephen's Crown!

And it ... shall never again grace the head of a monarch.

Leave her alone.

Those words might impress Gyula, but not me.

No.

I will not stop until Hungary is free.

And by that I mean really freely.

This woman is the reason our families have nothing to eat -

- and that our children die of hunger! Look at her!

A face like an angel...

... with the soul of a devil!

Don't forget that.

Take her away.

Come on, go!

Sorry for the mess, my dear Franz.

But Nene and Maximilian Anton have also just arrived.

It is their first trip as a married couple.

They are happy together. Right, Nene?

It wasn't exactly easy to find a suitable replacement...

... to the Emperor of Austria.

And who are you then?

The food seems to taste you.

It tastes good to me too.

Reach? To what do we owe the credit?

Shall we talk about it later over a cognac?

But why not right away?

A Maison Courvoisier could do the trick, right?

Well then ...

Is it a Brown Bess?

There is someone who knows what she is talking about.

But it's not just any gun.

This musket has done me heroic services.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a miracle of a weapon.

Her name is Maria. I named her after the Holy Mother.

What happened to your wife?

Andrássy, come on!

What do you do with him?

It was in the Ionian Sea, just before the Gulf of Patras.

We were surrounded by four ships.

They had all raised the black flag.

Do you understand that? They were pirates. Like in the fairy tales.

There were at least 70 of them.

And everyone hid below deck.

Except me. I stayed on the deck. Alone.

Only me and my Maria.

They were 70 pirates. At a distance of 100 meters. One after the other.

And there was a high sea with towering waves.

Don't you believe me? So just look here.

- Max, not the angels. - It's not 100 metres.

The handy little...

Great, Dad! Well done! What an excellent shot!

- I know why you are here. - So?

You want me to speak to King Louis -

- about the railway and your troops.

It will not happen.

Bavaria is the crown's ally. King Ludvig must live up to his duties.

I will not help you wage war.

Now remember which page you are on.

Leave me alone with them.

- You stubborn ass. - What happened?

- Emanuelle, what... - You! They have happened.

Don't get your hopes up. One remains locked.

- Thanks. - Take care of him when he wakes up.

And?

- Haven't you gone to bed yet? - You are not, either.

It was a year before you were born. I was 23.

I know that, Dad.

- Back then you were still slim. - Touche.

- Would you like a drink? - No thanks.

- I apologize for that earlier. - That's not why I'm here.

- But... - I want to talk to you about Franz.

- He needs your help. - Well, he hasn't.

Without the Bavarian railway, Bismarck has a great advantage over Franz.

- So what? - My sister is the Empress of Austria.

Wish she wasn't.

Bismarck wants to make Prussia a European superpower.

Whose ...

If Franz lets him have his way, we'll avoid a war.

It was you who said that Bismarck had already financed the forces.

He will do whatever it takes to go to war.

- You still like Franz, don't you? - No.

It's bad enough that he twisted your mother's head.

You would have made a good empress. Undoubtedly.

Forgive me.

What happened?

Ödön is obsessed with the idea of ​​revenge.

Not only over the Austrians, but also the Hungarian dissidents.

If the Austrians just disappeared...

... the Hungarians would kill each other.

Without someone like you there would be civil war.

- Without someone like me? - They trust you. They give them hope.

They know that you sincerely think of Hungary.

Half the men would follow you if they weren't so afraid of Ödön.

- Sir. general. - Have you found the empress?

No, Mr. General. The scouts have been looking, but without success.

I might know how we find her.

Even if some of you don't like having to listen to a woman.

Helene.

- I just wanted to say goodbye. - My father has gone to Munich.

He will speak to King Louis about your request.

Has he suddenly changed his mind? Have you talked to him?

- He wanted to put in a good word. - What did you say to him?

- I never reveal that. - Thanks.

Her.

- I wanted to let him go, but... - I understand.

Do we have anything for the dog?

Are you hungry?

You only get it if you are a good dog.

Follow it! It can lead us to its master.

- I think I want to go in the water. - Don't go too far.

- I can swim well. - But i can not.

Is it true?

It is fun.

- They have a happy marriage. - Yes.

- He has a good heart. - I am happy to hear that.

I have never apologized to you. For that time.

When I proposed to Sisi. I must have hurt you deeply.

Just be calm.

If anyone can talk to King Ludvig, it's my husband.

Well, my dears. I have brought something for you.

They can even be pulled up.

- Thank you, Duke. - It was not easy.

The king was again enchanted by his opium pipes.

- Max! - It's true.

I am afraid that the dog has lost its movement.

What now?

- Sir. general. - What is it?

The track leads into the forest.

There is something you need to know.

I would have done anything for you.

Aunt Ludovica, thank you for your hospitality.

Have a nice trip, Franz.

Anton.

Helene.

Many thanks for the help.

May god be with you.

- There are probably 100 of them. - What do we do?

A direct attack is too dangerous.

- Get the dog out of here. - Let me handle it.

I need two men in civilian clothes who speak Hungarian.

We smuggle them out.

If there is no sign from us in half an hour, go to attack.

- Can we stop here? - Here?

I have to pee.

Before you destroy my official documents.

You must not look.

Who's there?

We come from Miske with a message for Ödön.

Let them pass.

Be quiet, Your Majesty. Have you been injured?

Take the empress out. My men are waiting in the forest.

Speed ​​on.

- Your Majesty. - Yes?

- The girl. She has disappeared. - What?

Have you got a new customer?

Once a whore, always a whore. The Apple does not fall far from the tree.

He looks really nice. It's moving forward, I must say.

- Marie? - I grew up here and he...

Marie, you don't make it better this way.

It will only get worse, believe me.

He will be punished. I will take care of that.

But I won't let you do this to yourself.

Just be tough on the whore. That's how she likes it...

Wait. Not yet.

Not.

Come on. Continue.

To the wall.

- They must not stay behind. - Your Majesty, run now.

No!
