[Previously on Sisi]
I declare you husband and wife.
And you, dear Elisabeth,
as Empress of Austria.
You know how important an heir to the throne is.
Do not embarrass us. You know what you must do.
I want you to come to court with me.
You will teach me everything I need to know.
Guards! Escort Countess of Lotty outside.
- But the Countess is here by my wish.
If she were a countess
What did this woman say?
Your life is doomed and
those you love shall die miserably.
Why did you leave me waiting all night?
You have to proof yourself at court first.
Where can I find you?
You did everything right.
Better than I ever could.
Love me.
Did I hurt you?
I heard it is always like this the first time around.
But it was nice.
Besides, my sister said that if it hurts especially much
it will be an heir to the throne.
An heir to the throne.
[Lomardy
The governor's Palazzo]
Good morning, Your Majesty.
Where are you going?
I have a lot to do.
After your performance yesterday
in front of Hungarian delegation.
Can I help you somehow?
Enjoy the boredom before our ten heirs
to the throne will keep you busy.
You are here this early?
I could ask you the same thing.
You shouldn't let your good mood
carry you away to take rash actions.
Count Gyula Andrássy.
If you pardon this man
then may God have mercy upon you.
He fought fiercely against us.
His pardon will be interpreted as your weakness.
Come on, go!
Where is The Empress?
The ladies should get themselves into a better shape soon.
Go there! Go with me!
If she escapes us the
may God have mercy upon you.
I did not expect to see you again.
So you missed me?
Your performance impressed me.
The rabble loves you.
Not only them.
Then you no longer need my help.
Too bad actually.
I am certain there is much more to learn.
What's that for?
For coming along.
Then you no longer have to
- I can take care of myself.
What did you really come for?
I have a question.
What must I do to get pregnant?
It can't be get fast enough at court.
I just do not want him to worry.
- I get it.
There are only a few days each month
at which you can conceive.
And when are they?
- Your lust will tell you.
You are in a good mood today.
Although I barely slept.
Someone really longs to know today.
Your Majesty!
I hope there is a good reason to disturb, Mister Dall.
This could cost Grünne the victory.
There are news. Unfortunately.
Unfortunately?
The partisans attacked our governor in Lombardy.
Strassoldo-Graffemberg is dead.
What do you intend to do?
Fight.
Maybe fighting is not always the best solution.
I didn't notice you.
We have a lot to catch up to.
Today is the 30th, is it not?
Two, three, four, fivefour, five, six.
Was this the cheapest spoon
you could find for you pick-nick?
Oh no, I must take care that
I do not get fat with all this cake.
Or else my emperor doesn't
wanna do it with me anymore.
How are you doing here?
Did something happen?
Tell me.
Not a big story.
Someone helped me, and now I'm here.
Someone?
- Yes, someone.
And now I'm looking for a job.
And then life continues.
I have come up with something.
Come to the entrance of the Hoftheater [court theater]
the day after tomorrow shortly before three o'clock .
What are you planning?
I am not telling you.
Oh come on.
- It is a surprise.
You are so
Oh, look at my goods! Pretty jewelry for a pretty woman.
Give it to me.
Let me read your hands.
Oh my God!
Let go off me.
The Empress!
At the Kohlmarkt?
It seethes in the entire country and
The Empress goes to into the poor district.
What do you mean it seethes
in the entire country? What happened?
What in the world were you doing there?
I just wanted to
to be among people.
Your newest trip will stay among us.
The Emperor currently has
other things to worry about.
Something like this will never happen again.
Company. March!
Are you
Do not let him escape!
Where do you want to go?
I just wanted to get some fresh air.
I do not feel well.
Where is he this time?
Stay here!
May I sit down for a moment?
Just one more moment, Your Highness.
And?
- Is everything alright with me?
How are you feeling?
What is going on?
Speak.
I am not sure.
She has a light bleeding.
We have to fear that
- Will she loose the child?
- Not necessarily
Is something not alright?
Congratulations. Your Majesty is expecting.
Do not worry, Sisi.
I will do everything that
you give birth to a healthy child.
I urgently recommend rest,
little movement and high caloric food.
Your new apartment.
My apartments are right next door.
It is proper that you will from live close
to an experienced woman from now on.
Alone.
And what about Franz?
What about him?
He is excited for his child.
He already knows about it?
Of course.
Take me to him.
He has a lot to do.
And you should rest for a bit now.
The crown's future lies within you.
Why are there guards?
They are only for your safety.
Hey? Hey?
Are you hungry?
Yes? Good.
Hey?
Where were you?
Your mother wants me to live here now.
I know.
But I'm so excited.
Just like I am.
We can no longer sleep with one another.
Says who?
Now ee must do everything for you
to bare a healthy child.
It'll also be hard for me not to
constantly come to you at night.
Who sent you?
My mother?
Your doctor says it is beneficial
for your health to stay sexually active.
Especially now that the wife is indisposed.
Countess?
Highness.
I wanted to speak to you.
To be precise
I have a request.
To me?
I do not have much say here at court.
You are wrong about that.
Are you feeling well?
As well as someone can be
when they are imprisoned here.
I am sorry about that.
But the Archduchess only acts
out of concern for you and your child.
I know who you wanted
to meet when you ran away.
Your secret is safe with me.
She waited a long time for you
in front of the Burgtheater [court theater].
Did you really believe
you could get her a job unnoticed?
I could help you to get
a message to your friend.
Why would you do that for me?
Well
If your husband goes to war in Lombary,
Hungary may revolt against the crown again.
That is why I want you to meet someone.
Who?
A man who can prevent a lot of bloodshed.
I cannot tell you more
for your own safety.
Take care that Fanny will be paid
sufficiently for her services.
Yes.
I do not want her to stay
in Vienna for me any longer.
When am I supposed to meet this man?
As soon as he has found
a way to Vienna unscathed.
[Lombardy wants independence.
Empress really is expecting.]
[Franz Joseph calls to arms]
Morning Post!
War in Lombardy!
Emperor Franz Joseph calls to arms.
You must come along.
Please don't. Let him go. Not my son!
Be quiet now!
Mum! Mum!
My son!
No!
What do you have there?
- Nothing.
Are you hiding something?
That is my business.
What are your intentions?
I'll go back to Bavaria.
Why?
I'll no longer play this game.
Because she dropped you for a second time.
- Because there's no honorable work for me here.
You really believed there could
be a true friendship between you?
Beyond rank and class arrogance?
Just two woman that
hold one another dear.
That speaks for you.
Stay here. With me.
We'll find something honorable for you.
Did you transmit my money
to Starnberg like you promised?
And I will give you the same sum again if you stay.
[Castle Malmaison, Paris.]
Franz Joseph goes to war in Lombardy.
And the Germans deny him support.
It is seething in the realm.
[Lombardy.
Six months later]
Protestrufe
Sisi should only show herself on the balcony once.
Then all doubts about
her circumstances would be removed.
I will send soldiers
to dissolve the mass.
If you want to win this war,
then we have to win these people over.
Not turn them against us.
What is supposed to happen?
Where do you want to go?
If you would like to excuse me now,
I rather take myself to safety.
Sisi!
I will not exploit our child for a war.
Majesty.
- What is it?
It is time.
He wants to meet you.
Since when does my husband have this
-mistress?
I myself am the fruit of such a relationship.
That is also why I was denied
the road you took.
Well.
Who will I meet, Countess?
A leader of the Hungarian rebels.
Come quickly, Majesty.
Oh.
Everything alright?
Yes. Everything alright.
From here on, you must go alone.
I will wait for you here.
Yes, I am also happy to see you again.
Yes, you saw that correctly.
Somebody else here today too.
Gyula Andrássy.
- Highness.
I am very delighted that you receive me.
You lead the Hungarian rebels into battle
against my husband. Why are you here?
Maybe I am the only one who can help
you provide lasting peace in Hungary.
I believe our two people only have a future
if they take their paths together.
And that is precisely what my husband wants.
Your husband crushed my people with taxes.
He confiscated the nobility's assets.
He denies us our own constitution
and our own jurisdiction.
Your military is taking care of justice at our home.
What do you want?
Dignity and self-determination for my people.
And peace.
And for this peace,
I am looking for an ally.
You overestimate my influence by a lot
The Austrians love you.
And also the Hungarians have begun
to take a liking in you.
Give this to your husband.
The times in which an emperor could rule
with a bloody sword over his peoples over.
Highness?
I do not want to promise you anything.
Move! Make way!
Go to the sides!
I have good news for you.
Your friend stayed in Vienna.
How do you know that?
She is more attached to you than you think.
Make way!
The anger about the fallen sons
compels them to the streets.
These people believe The Emperor betrayed them.
They have doubts if there even is
an heir to the throne.
Majesty! We must leave here.
Continue driving!
Stay seated. What are you doing? Majesty!
Majesty, get back into the carriage.
What are you doing!
Get back. This is dangerous.
Napoleon will explot it you act hesitant.
I am aware of that.
Then dispatch your armies
in their full strength against him.
Franz!
For God's sake!
Guards!
Disappear!
Move, make way! Get away!
Out of the way! Out of the way!
Breathe!
You must breathe.
Good. Breathe.
If The Empress does not relax soon
Do not listen to her.
You will be done soon, right?
Soon.
Fanny.
Fanny.
Fanny.
I think she means Countess of Lotty.
Is she still in Vienna?
Yes.
Then get her.
Fanny.
Hello!
- Excuse me.
What's going on now?
Who do you think you are?
Get out. I already paid.
Count Grünne!
We have a problem here.
Yeah, yeah, alright.
Continue like that.
Good.
You can do this.
You can do this. Breathe.
Breathe.
Good, good.
Do you want to feel the head?
It has hair.
Now give everything, Highness.
You'll be done in a moment.
Is it alive?
A girl.
Where is my child?
Don't worry. It's doing well.
It is a girl.
Hello, little Archduchess.
Hello.
I want to carry her.
But the lady-in-waiting can do that.
The [court] ceremonial demands it this way.
[in Latin]
I baptize you in the name of
the Father,
the Son,
and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
