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.

13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23.

How many bullets?

12.

And now we have guns.

200 American revolvers.

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.

43 degrees.

That means we're over...

150 postmiles away from Vienna.

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 kill 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 shoot.

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 war 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 kill 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 war.

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 war 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.

13th Infantry Regiment.

War.

War.

Shit war.

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 whore,

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.
