Sisi

I declare you The Empress of Austria.

Your husband took office in a time when Austria was in danger of breaking apart.

A cluster of delicate relationships, put under stress test.

The rabble loves you. - Not only them.

Congratulations, Your Majesty is expecting.

How are you doing here? - Someone helped me and now I am here.

Someone? - Yes.

If your husband goes to war in Lombary, Hungary may revolt again.

That is why I want you to meet someone. - Who?

A leader of the Hungarian rebels.

Gyula Andrássy.

If you pardon this man, then may God have mercy upon you.

He fought fiercely against us.

Give this to your husband.

Emperor Franz Joseph calls to arms!

Come. - They are coming.

Make way.

He's coming. - Take care.

One, two, three.

That is good.

Franz? Please look at me. Please look at me.

I'm with you. Yeah?

I'm with you. I'm here.

Franz...

Finally do something!

Continue talking to him, Highness.

He must not fall asleep.

Look at me. You mustn't fall asleep now.

Franz, please look at me

Hurry. - Franz?

Needle. - Look at me.

Please look at me.

Franz...

A Hungarian, hm? How much did he pay you?

How much he paid you!

100 Guilders.

What does he look like?

Franz. Please stay with me.

Describe him. Come. What does he look like?

Describe him accurately.

Slim face, dark beard.

Continue. - Long hair.

Eye color?

Brown

Franz, please stay with me.

Please drink this, Your Highness.

Very good, Highness.

Now you can sleep.

You should rest for a bit.

I will stay with him.

I will not leave The Emperor's side. I promise.

The sketch is finished, Count Grünne.

I know this man.

He is Hungarian.

He tried to kill The Emperor once before.

A Hungarian?

Why not? The Emperor has many enemies there.

Something afflicts you?

Tell me, please.

You taught yourself to read and write.

And became friends with The Empress.

None of them can say this about themselves.

Get your things from the Kohlmarkt.

You are very welcome by me.

May the little Sophie lead a longer and happy life.

To Sophie!

Nice.

Let go of me!

[Looking for... Reward 1000 Ducats.]

Where were you?

They're looking for you everwhere.

Where were you?

You went too far!

You must leave Vienna. To a far away place.

They'll find you, and then both us will be dead.

Then come with me.

No.

That's not possible.

It always brought me luck.

You need it more than me now.

You got your revenge.

Go, Béla.

And find your peace.

What happened?

I am going to leave tomorrow.

Leave? Where to?

To Lombardy.

To the front line?

Napoleon has nearly reached Milan.

I must stop him.

Before that I want to say goodbye to you.

Franz!

Help me! So help me!

Fight for me! Fight for me!

Nurse! Nurse, I need water.

Hey, my little one.

This is no place for a child.

I will not sit in the Hofburg and eat shrimps while my people suffer.

I will go back to Vienna with the little Archduchess tomorrow.

It is still my child.

Then decide like a mother.

It is, of course, at your discretion to stay.

We will go home.

Wait.

Wait. I will come with you to Vienna.

Quick! Free a table for Count Grünne!

It's a pleasure.

Count Grünne.

We must amputate.

Drink that.

Do what you must. - Scalpel.

Now.

I can still do a lot with just one arm.

Bite on that.

No, no.

If you do not want to lose your tongue.

A moment.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Saw.

Hold tight.

Hold tight!

Your daughter is asleep.

Then let me sit by her side.

Sophie needed you earlier. But you reconsidered.

But now I am here.

And what will you do tomorrow?

Soon more wounded will arrive.

Many more.

What did she mean?

Tell me.

Your husband is in danger of losing in Lombardy.

Yesterday, rebels raided a goods wagon and killed all Austrians.

If you lose control in Lombardy and after that in Hungary too, then the empire will break apart.

You should tell your husband about your meeting with Count Andrássy.

I will travel to the front line.

To the frontline?

Why?

I want you to keep an eye on my daughter, and...

...on my mother-in-law as well.

I'll do what's within my power.

Are you once again...?

Not a word to anyone.

Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.

You're so pretty,

You shouldn't be here.

This is a gruesome place.

All the soldiers returning from Laxenburg talk about you.
