[Previously on Sisi]
You taught yourself to read and write.
And you became friends with The Empress.
Not one of them there can say that.
I know this man.
You went too far.
It always brought me luck.
You need it more now.
I wanted to ask you
if you would accompany me.
I will pay my respects to
the Hungarian nobility in Buda.
To Hungary? With the children?
They are in danger of a civil war.
I need Sisi by my side.
As a sign of my good will, I decided to pardon
the last men of the revolution of March 15th.
The assassin from Vienna.
I think I saw him.
Your daughter.
She is very unwell.
Will she get better soon?
[in accented German] Do not worry, Highness.
We just have to lower the fever.
Your Majesty.
How is she?
Already better.
Would you like me to stay with you?
Yes.
Sophie.
No.
No.
No!
Sophie!
No!
Sophie!
Sophie!
- No!
[Imperial Hofburg (palace), Vienna]
There are many decisions ahead of you.
For the funeral.
Did you hear me, Sisi?
I am so sorry.
I am so sorry.
Franz, there is a matter that unfortunately
does not allow for any delay.
If you would excuse me, please.
Napoleon demands the territories in upper Italy,
or there will be no truce.
This must come to an end.
You must now consider very well
what you are going to do.
I would like to be alone, please.
As you wish.
Do you still remember
our hiking trips?
You marched and marched.
Longer than anyone else.
And in the end, you even jumped
into the water and swam with the dogs.
This is sand from Lake Starnberg.
From the shore side, you like so much.
Sisi.
You don't have to continue marching here,
do you understand?
If you cannot handle it anymore,
I'll come and get you and take you home.
You think I do not do justice
of my role as empress?
No, I didn't mean it like
- Then as a mother?
No, Sisi.
I am scared.
I am scared for you.
I want to say farewell to Sophie with you.
Did something happen?
No.
Talk to me, please.
Do you blame me for her death?
Please talk to me.
- I already said farewell to my daughter.
There is nothing more to say about that.
I am so sorry.
Do you have a problem?
There it is.
Disappear.
This belonged to her.
Do you remember?
What about him?
Yes, she came here with him.
He paid the room for her.
The Empress does not receive visitors.
It is already noon.
Like I said.
Is she unwell?
Shall I send for a doctor?
On the contrary.
The Empress slept again for the first time today.
Let him come in.
Nothing that could lower her mood.
Do you feel better, Majesty?
Why did you come, Count Grünne?
Have you seen this before?
What is this?
The man who attacked you in Hungary
He wore this around his neck.
And I believe I have seen it before.
On another person.
You too?
I have the suspicion that
this person was in contact with the assassin.
I cannot keep this from The Emperor.
Give me one day.
Just one more moment.
Mummy.
Do you know where Countess Esterházy is?
In the nursery.
Should I get her?
No, no.
Please prepare my vanity table.
I want to visit my husband tonight.
Be careful.
Countess?
Highness.
Please take Gisela to my mother-in-law.
To your moth
You want to pass on
the upbringing of you children?
Highness.
The death of your daughter is not your fault.
This could have happened to anyone.
It is not just about that.
But rather?
Highness.
What do you want?
Your wife consigned Gisela's care to me.
Did you know that?
No, I did not know that.
I will go to war again.
Napoleon wants Lombardy and Venetia.
And that I pay all war debts.
You must end this war.
You always said an emperor
must not show any weakness.
Guards!
Tighter.
It cannot go tighter, Highness.
You lost too much weight.
You have to eat more.
Maybe
it would be good
if you were to spend a night
with your husband again.
Highness?
Have all of my dresses burned.
But do you no longer like them?
I know something awful happened to you
but this morning you were so cheerful.
Leave me alone.
- But Highness
Leave me alone!
Leave me alone! Leave me alone!
Lady's maids! Hurry!
Majesty?
Majesty, what is going on with you?
How are you feeling, dear?
I will go back to Bavaria
I cannot blame you for it.
I lost five children.
Five.
And each time I thought
I would die with them.
My son wants to go to war again.
And you are the only one who can stop him.
What you managed to do in Hungary
Without you, the Hungarians would have risen up again
and that would have destroyed our realm.
I cannot.
You know
being a ruler
does not mean you are
not allowed to make mistakes.
A ruler faces her mistakes.
Does not run away from them.
I have made many mistakes in my life.
But giving you my dress back then
was certainly none of them.
Where is my husband now?
In Laxenburg.
Tell Franz,
Napoleon is ready to negotiate.
Your Majesty
Get out of here.
Get out of here!
I am your wife!
What is wrong with you?
Our child died,
and you have nothing better to do than
Stop it.
End this war.
Napoleon is ready to negotiate with you.
I will help you with that.
Sisi, you look
- I must talk to you.
This is unfortunately
about very confidential matters.
Is this about the funeral?
No, mum, this is about something else.
Franz will invited Napoleon
for peace negotiations.
Napoleon will pull down his pants.
Not if the German Confederation backs him up.
You want me to help you?
I'm just a simple duke, Sisi.
- With influential friends.
Not just from Bavaria but also
from Hanover, from Prussia, from Saxony.
Dad
The French provoked him to this war.
Provoked?
- Yes, provoked.
Franz started the war.
He conducted it in Lombardy.
Outside of Austria.
And that's why
the German Confederation won't intervene.
This is about the future of my country.
Yes. Your country is intact.
Lombardy was occupied by Austria.
Mum, a word?
You want me to leave?
- Yes, that is what I want.
You must understand
Your request goes against everything
that is holy to him.
I am sorry, Sisi.
Mum.
You have influential friends, too.
Thisthis is about politics.
I am a woman.
Just like aunt Sophie is a woman.
Or I am.
I cannot promise you anything
but I will see what I can do.
Thank you, mum.
You desire?
- I demand entrance.
The visiting hours are over.
Your Majesty.
For your silence.
Help me! Please!
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners
Why is she in chains?
Release her and leave us alone.
I will call you when I am done.
He wore your amulet.
Why?
I got you a job.
At court.
You attended the birth of my children.
You commanded me as you liked.
Béla helped me when I had nothing.
So what else do you want?
Was our friendship a lie?
I trusted you.
I had no choice.
Just like I have none now.
Is there something
Can I do something
My daughter's name is Marie.
She lives in Starnberg.
With simple people.
Look after her.
And give this to her when she is older.
I want you to accompany me.
As a friend.
Not as my judge.
Have a carriage prepared
for tomorrow morning.
With what destination, Highness?
- Bavaria. My parents are departing.
Yes, Your Highness.
And please leave me alone now.
I am proud of you.
You asked for my help.
Thisarrived this morning.
Be careful.
Napoleon is a dangerous man.
Good luck, my child.
Majesty, concerning the matter with
your lady-in-waitingI am sorry about that.
If there is anything I can
do for you, let me know.
Yes, there is something.
Fanny had a daughter.
I want you to find her.
Very well, Your Majesty.
She shall have a better life than her mother.
[Laxenburg Castle, near Vienna]
[something about Italy]
I still have 200,000 men fit for action.
And 50,000 horses.
[with a French accent]
You do not even have a fleet on the Adriatic Sea.
I think you should pay respects to my wife.
If I had known that in Austria
women negotiate as well,
I would not have sent my broad
to get a pedicure.
Your wife is here?
If that is the case,
we should call her.
Please tell The Empress
she is very welcome here.
Forgive me for only welcoming you at my castle now.
I was tied up with other business.
How are the negotiations going?
Your Majesty, your interest to end
this war should be just as big as ours.
Should it be?
I do think so.
What is this?
This is a dispatch from Frankfurt am Main
from the German Confederation.
If you are not determined to end this war,
ten army corps from Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, Württemberg,
Hanover and Hesse will march by Austria's side against you.
If you want a great war,
you shall have it.
Eugénie de Montijo, Empress of France.
Welcome at Laxenburg, Highness.
[with a French accent]
Thank you very much, Highness. I am very delighted
but please continue. I did not want to disturb you.
Thank you.
We were just talking about
the horrors of war.
Oh really?
And the fear of losing out beloved during it.
And how much of an effort we want to make to save all
the mothers and fathers of our soldiers from this experience.
Dad will be excited about it.
Would you like to give them to dad?
Would you like to give them to dad?
Thank you.
- Well done.
Well done.
Please take her to Countess Esterházy.
To love someone makes us vulnerable.
We love you.
What is this?
We love you.
- Stop this!
Stop this! Stop this! Stop it!
- We love you. We love you!
We love you.
We love you.
We love you.
We love you.
We love you.
We love you.
[Heiligenkreuz in the Vienna Woods]
What is your name?
Marie likes horses.
She told me that during the journey.
Can you ride?
Then I will teach you.
Your lady-in-waiting will show you
your new home now.
Did you know my mother?
Yes.
