[water sloshing]

[solemn music playing]

-[Charlotte] Careful! -[man 1] Careful, Your Majesty.

Yes, let me help.

Your Majesty.

[birds chirping]

[man 2] Your Majesty.

[indistinct chatter]

Careful! Careful.

It's fragile.

[man 2] Secure the boat.

-Over here, please. -[Margarete sighs]

[Pauline] Are we certain that this is the right island?

Shouldn't someone be here to greet us all?

-You're right. -Someone's coming. Yoo-hoo!

[in Greek] Welcome, ladies.

[in English] Over here!

[man 3 in Greek] At your service.

[indistinct chatter]

[intriguing music playing]

[seagulls calling]

-[man 2 in English] Secure the boat. -Your Majesty.

Come, we're going to the house. You mustn't catch a chill.

Majesty?

Avert your eyes, Doctor.

I am sure the doctor is very comfortable with nakedness.

[Pauline] She can swim, can't she?

Aren't you going to do anything, Charlotte?

Your Majesty! Your Majest…

[music fades]

[theme music playing]

THE EMPRESS

[theme music fades]

CORFU - KINGDOM OF GREECE

[Dr Fritsch] And please inhale deeply, Your Majesty.

[indistinct chatter]

And once more.

Deeper, if possible.

[inhales]

[exhales]

Are you doing the exercises I showed you on board?

The small branches in your lungs must expand

so that your blood gets enough oxygen.

Is it wise for her to swim? Isn't it far too cold?

I am actually feeling a little bit stronger now.

Swimming can certainly help the lungs to open up.

But the Countess is quite right.

You mustn't do too much. Listen to your body.

[flies buzzing]

[Pauline] Ooh.

[inhales sharply]

I do not like it here. No one lives here, there are bugs everywhere.

I want to go home.

It's for Her Majesty's health.

So pull yourself together.

And you mustn't feel the need to change for dinner.

The Empress wants it dégagé.

Dégagé?

What is dégagé?

[birds chirping]

[dog barking outside]

[footsteps approaching]

Your Majesty wished to see me?

I am fully aware of why you came here.

I am not sure what you mean.

The Archduchess has sent you as her informer.

Isn't that so?

You mistrust me because I told on the Emperor.

No.

I want to know the truth, even if it's painful.

I wanted to get away for a while.

And the last thing I need is an agent of the Habsburg court spying on me.

Like you.

Yes.

I agreed to keep an eye on you while you're here.

[gentle music playing]

But I'm not going to.

You have my word.

Whatever you choose to do here is none of my concern.

She has banished me from court.

She is being punitive.

[stirring string music playing]

[waves crashing]

[Charlotte] Her Majesty.

-Your Majesty. -Your Majesty.

No more formalities here on the island.

The curtsies. The "Your Majesty"s.

As you wish.

Elisabeth.

[mosquito humming]

-[gasps] Damn! -[humming stops]

[gasps]

Forgive me, Your Majes… Elisabeth.

-[chuckles] -It's the mosquitoes.

What is this?

From His Majesty, to welcome you here.

How thoughtful of him.

Are you not going to read the letter?

Read it to me, will you?

"My dearest Elisabeth, I hope your journey was not too arduous

and that the warm climate quickly aids in your recovery."

Mmm.

"The children really miss their mother a lot."

"With sincere regards, Franz Josef."

[Elisabeth] "With sincere regards"?

[Pauline] Do you not think you can forgive him?

Men need their freedom.

My mother told me that when I was a little girl.

And why can't we women be free as well?

Why are my needs less important?

[intriguing music playing]

[animal howling outside]

[breathes deeply]

[howling continues]

[waves crashing]

"With sincere regards."

[breathes deeply]

[Napoleon in French] Do you know why the Austrian flag is red-white-red?

To avoid confusion when raising it.

[Napoleon laughing]

[door closes]

[Franz] Your Majesty.

[in English] Shall we begin, gentlemen?

[in French] That's it?

I don't get Venetia?

[in English] Majesty.

You get the Kingdom of Lombardy,

and Austria will withdraw its troops from the duchies of Tuscany,

Modena, and Parma.

As a result, there won't be troops near the French border.

[in French] Still no Venice.

[in English] You are uniting Italy into one single realm.

Which is just what you wanted.

And who is this little man?

Suffice it to say, Austria has not been defeated militarily, Majesty,

in a way that would compel us to give up more territory.

That is the Emperor's final word.

[in French] Very well.

Let us continue the war, then.

Gentlemen.

I know that the Prussians are massed near the Rhine.

On your border.

If you continue to sacrifice your troops for Italian unification,

the Prussians will seize their chance.

The Prussians will not be my next problem alone.

They will be our next problem.

Then I give you my word

that I'll be on your side in a war against the Prussians.

But know that if the Prussians attack you,

you will not be able to count on my help.

Put an end to this war.

I ask that of you, Your Majesty.

[in English] Who could ever resist your beautiful eyes?

[in French] Note down what the Emperor just said.

And add it to our agreement.

To your health.

To peace.

How is your darling wife, Your Majesty? I hear she's unwell.

She's recovering well, thank you.

[in English] "Has Emperor Franz Josef lost not only the war but also his wife?"

[in French] I did not come here to discuss my personal affairs.

Is your wife really a personal affair?

The people love their empress.

Without her, your empire is weak.

We've barely agreed to peace, and you're starting hostilities again.

No.

I'm merely saying a person like your wife is rare.

-A person capable of healing an empire. -Are we still talking about Austria?

Mexico.

It is my jewel.

My darling.

[chuckles]

But that beautiful country is being ravaged by civil war.

I am aware.

I need someone to heal Mexico

the way your wife can heal your empire.

[pensive music playing]

[in English] What does that have to do with me?

I want your brother.

That's not even an option.

[in French] Mexico could make him happy!

Don't you want that?

[in English] You don't know the first thing about him.

Maximilian has always set his sights upon more than what is good for him.

Just like your wife.

You will keep your hands away from my family.

Whoa!

How much longer?

We'll arrive at Schönbrunn in about two hours, Your Majesty.

Send a messenger ahead of us, will you?

If you so desire, I can find another woman for you…

with experience.

No, thank you. I want to see her.

-[crickets chirping] -[dog barking]

[door opens]

Your Majesty.

It's good to see you again.

Yes.

I am glad too.

Please.

[Terese clears throat]

[Franz exhales]

[chuckles softly]

-Do you want something to drink? -Yes.

Thank you.

[drink pouring]

So the Emperor himself serves here.

Please forgive me.

[breathes sharply]

I am rarely so flustered, but today I'm…

It all happened so quickly.

I know. Forgive me.

I hope I didn't cause you any trouble.

No. No, no, no.

I just had to borrow this dress from one of my neighbours and she…

Um, well, she wants me to shoe her ox in return.

Forgive me, Highness, that's of no interest to you.

Here's to meeting again.

[glasses clink]

[glasses thud on table]

[gentle music playing]

[music continues]

[music ends]

-[waves crashing] -[seagulls calling]

[Elisabeth] Who's coming in?

[laughing]

Come on in!

Let's.

[light, playful music playing]

[laughing]

Whoo! [whimpers]

[both laugh]

I'm coming too!

I'm not leaving her alone with Margarete.

[women laughing]

[Elisabeth] Could you move a little closer together?

No! You could fall!

[Elisabeth screams]

[laughing]

[in Greek] Here you go. It's delicious.

Look at him, Charlotte!

-Now I didn't expect that, did you? -[chuckles]

[music continues]

[gasps]

[laughs]

[Elisabeth] You can do it, Charlotte!

[Charlotte screams]

-[Charlotte gasps] -[women laugh]

[Sophie] "My beloved Elisabeth,

two months have now passed,

and I trust you shall return to me soon."

"I sincerely hope that you know I harbour still a deep fondness for you

and that you will be forever cherished in my heart with a love most deep."

"Your Franz Josef."

Theo?

What would please the Empress? Some court confectionary?

I regret Her Majesty does not care for sweet treats.

[Sophie] Perfume then?

No, not really.

A silk handkerchief?

Or some jewellery?

[inhales deeply]

It is my impression that Her Majesty cares little

for expensive things, Your Highness.

I know how much you care for Elisabeth, Theo,

so why do you have to make this so difficult?

Do you not wish her to return to us at court?

Yes. Absolutely, Imperial Highness.

But I do not wish to act without your son's knowledge in this regard.

Do you know something I don't, Theo?

Something concerning the Emperor?

Or must I ask the Prince of Hohenlohe from now on about my son?

No.

Rest assured I'll inform you if I hear anything, Your Imperial Highness.

Good.

[footsteps receding]

-[Pauline] Oh, I'm still horrified. -[Margarete] Of what?

[Pauline] The sea urchin, it felt so slimy.

Like a cold, salty tongue.

-Tongue? -Yes.

What kind of men have you kissed?

Are you serious? You kiss men with your tongue?

-[man speaking in Greek] -Oh, Pauline.

You haven't ever done it, have you? Kissed a man?

There's no rush.

What about that Colonel? I forget what his name is.

-Prince of Hohenlohe? -[Margarete] Yes. That was it.

He said when I return, he'll accompany me on a stroll.

I think he's the one I'm going to marry.

I believe that fate has chosen one true love for everyone.

-[donkey braying] -[man speaking in Greek]

Do you agree, Charlotte?

Do I think that's possible? No.

But many minor loves? Oh, yes.

And you, Elisabeth?

Am I right that fate chooses partners for us all?

I'm unsure.

Your Majesty. From the Emperor.

[Elisabeth] Thank you.

Iced violets. Save me some.

This is someone else's handwriting.

Is it Theo's?

[Margarete] No. The paper bears the watermark of the Archduchess.

This missive is from her.

Then it's only right that we should write back to her.

Shouldn't we?

[women chuckling]

"My dear Archduchess, sadly, I have no good news for you."

"I must inform you

that the Empress is at this time living in a fishing hut

as she has, um, completely been seduced by a local fisherman."

"We see her on Saturdays selling sea urchins at the market."

"And it would seem that she is lost completely to the island."

[Charlotte groans]

Why do these bugs only ever bite me?

Hello, Doctor? Doctor?

[women giggling]

Your Majesty? You called me.

Do you have a remedy for mosquito bites? I believe the Countess is in need.

[Dr Fritsch] I do indeed. Something from the local herb stall.

Thyme and lemon peel.

It helps with many things.

If I may?

It is believed that some people's blood is sweeter than that of others,

which is why mosquitoes prefer such people.

And how are you feeling, Your Majesty?

I feel I am as healthy as I have ever been, Doctor.

I'm glad that you have recovered in such a short time.

I bid you all a good evening.

[Elisabeth] Good evening, Doctor.

[all giggling]

When do you want to go back home? Now that you are better.

I want to stay here.

Forever, maybe.

[Pauline] Forever?

That's much too long.

But you are the Empress. The people are waiting for you.

The Empress is completely lost.

To being lost completely.

-To being lost completely. [chuckles] -[glasses clink]

[chuckling]

[Franz mimicking train chuffing]

[Gisella] Stand back. The train is arriving.

You must stop the train now, Father.

[mimics brakes hissing]

[Gisella] All aboard the train.

Look! The train is bringing food for the people

and the soldiers fighting in the war.

You know almost as much as I do.

When I grow up, I want to be like you.

You know your brother will become Emperor.

But maybe you'll marry an Emperor.

And then you can do good too.

Like my mother?

Yes. Like your mother.

Now come. Time for bed.

Can you read me a bedtime story?

Please, will you?

Tell Theo that I'll be late for my next appointment.

He knows what I mean.

[valet] Yes, Your Majesty.

-[horse neighing outside] -[bell tolling]

[footsteps approaching]

[door opens]

[Theo] Your Imperial Highness.

[Terese] Your Imperial Highness.

I can see that you already feel quite at home.

-Sit down, will you? -[door closes]

You've served the empire at a difficult moment.

We are very grateful to you, girl.

For your troubles.

[chuckles softly] What's this supposed to mean?

You will leave this place now.

I am here as the Emperor's guest.

And it is my decision how long I remain.

Your little sister, how is she?

How old is she now? Twelve?

And she can neither speak nor walk? How awful.

We must pray that your family continues to work for the Count.

How else would she cope otherwise?

You do not make any choices now, Terese.

I am sorry, but things will have to be decided for you.

Your Imperial Highness.

[door opens]

[Sophie] What a good girl.

[inhales deeply]

[animal howling outside]

[intriguing music playing]

[howling continues]

[footsteps approaching]

-Your Majesty. -[Elisabeth] Good morning, Ida.

You seem to know everything.

Do you know if there are wolves on the island somewhere?

I think I hear them at night.

I will have a look.

Have you always had a passion for reading?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I would have loved to have studied.

If women were allowed.

You never go in the sea.

Can you not swim?

Yes, Your Majesty.

My father taught me when I was but a girl to swim against the current in the Danube.

Against it?

So I wouldn't be pulled under the water, he said.

It's very important for a Hungarian.

[pages turning]

Here. There were once wolves on the island.

[flies buzzing]

I know that Hungary is subjugated by Austria.

And you know how much you're adored by the people of Hungary.

At the moment, I'm unable to help your countrymen.

I am impotent right now.

It says here,

"The wolf can be a loner."

"He often roams far and wide alone when hunting for food."

Like us.

The wolf's saying this is where we should be right now.

But wolves actually live in communities.

And they typically have a leader who shows them the way.

[bell rings]

[valet] Her Imperial Highness, the Archduchess.

Your Majesty.

You wanted to speak to me?

At this late hour?

I forbid you from interfering in my private affairs in this manner.

I hope the young lady wasn't greatly upset.

And the letters to the Empress in my name.

They will stop at once.

Why don't you write to her?

-The Empress needs to get well again… -Austria is sick.

When the Empress is ill, the people turn away from us.

And if the Empress is absent, we lose our people, Franz.

The only thing standing between us and the next revolution is her.

Now, I am not happy about it, Franz.

But your subjects need her here.

Not me, not you. Elisabeth.

Elisabeth will come back when she's ready. I shan't force her hand.

And you'll amuse yourself with other women until then?

If you don't stop this nonsense now,

it will be time for a long trip to your sister's house in Bayern.

[exhales]

You're not angry because I'm interfering. You're angry because I am right.

And because you miss her just as much as all your subjects do.

VIENNA ILLUSTRATED

-[birds chirping] -[indistinct chatter]

[children screaming]

[seagulls calling]

[man shouting in Greek]

[woman speaking Greek]

[giggles softly]

[man in Greek] Good morning.

[in English] I'll take these for my children.

-[man] Of course. -[Margarete] Elisabeth.

This honey flows through your whole body like drops of sunshine.

[Elisabeth] It is good, yes.

But not that good.

I'll tell you a secret.

A few drops of this, and colours are more beautiful,

oranges have more flavour, the honey is even sweeter.

Would you like to try?

Have you seen that huge ship over there?

[Dr Fritsch] A British naval ship.

That means there will be naval officers in uniform.

-Margarete! -[chuckles]

-Charlotte, do you like the local fruit? -[Charlotte] Mmm.

Yes, the peaches are delightful.

I was wondering if you'd…

That is, if you are not otherwise engaged.

There's a cliff where you can view the sunset. Would you care to join me?

Yes.

I'd love to.

I mean, if the Empress has no objections.

[Margarete laughs]

I told you, fate has something in store for each of us.

Oh, how you bore me with all your talk of fate, Pauline.

Life is but a series of coincidences.

Look over there, some handsome sailors.

[indistinct chatter]

[man speaking Greek]

Good afternoon, ladies. Wallace.

[Elisabeth] Gentlemen.

Fancy meeting such elegant ladies on such a remote island.

-And with whom do we have the pleasure? -Of course. I forget my manners.

I'm Captain Martin. Lieutenant Stevens, Lieutenant Wallace.

From the Royal Navy.

Delighted.

May I assume the ladies are with the Empress of Austria?

Rumor has it she is residing on the island.

-Yes, this is… -You're right.

We are her ladies-in-waiting.

She has given us the night to ourselves.

Aren't we the lucky ones, gentlemen? [chuckles]

Is the Empress Elisabeth really as beautiful as people say?

Oh, she's beautiful, all right.

But she's also very… very difficult.

-[laughs] -[Martin] And what of her ladies?

Are they equally as difficult, or might we invite them for a drink?

A drink?

That sounds wonderful.

I am told that when men are at sea for too long, they go insane.

Pauline.

-Would you excuse us for a moment? -Of course.

Stevens, behave like a gentleman.

Give me a little drop from your bottle, Margarete.

Are you sure?

But only one drop though.

What is that you're taking?

I want some too.

No, Pauline, not you.

I am not boring.

Give me some.

♪ And a drop of Nelson's blood Couldn't do us any harm ♪

♪ And a drop of Nelson's blood Couldn't do us any harm ♪

♪ And a drop of Nelson's blood Couldn't do us any harm ♪

[Elisabeth] Your turn, Pauline.

♪ And we'll all hang on behind Come on and… ♪

♪ Roll the old chariot along We'll roll the old chariot along ♪

[Ida] Queen of hearts, there.

♪ We'll roll the old chariot along And we'll all hang on behind ♪

-I won! -Ah!

[Martin] Well done.

Another round. I'm dealing!

-[Margarete] I keep losing. -[men laugh]

[Elisabeth] It's fortunate we have you, Ida.

-[Stevens] Roll another seven. -[Ida] One, two, three, four, five.

[Wallace] How many cards do you have?

I think you should.

[Elisabeth] You only get seven cards. No cheating!

What do you mean?

You can't go back to your Prince Konstantin so green.

You must get some experience away from home.

[Martin] The Countess must drink.

[Ida] Me too.

-[Stevens] At once, my lady. -You cannot let a lady drink alone!

Hear, hear! That's the spirit.

And to whom shall we toast?

To the Queen. God save the Queen.

God save the Queen.

-[all] God save the Queen. -Well said.

As a girl, I always wondered why we women aren't allowed to do this kind of work.

I believe medicine could be much more advanced

if women could be doctors too.

So you want female physicians?

Absolutely.

Yes.

Why ever not?

You, for example.

You have so much compassion.

And you have a keen sense for what others are going through.

[Charlotte breathing deeply]

Time has flown.

Hasn't it?

[woman] Your Highness?

Sorry. Sorry.

Empress is not here.

What do you mean?

[Greek music playing faintly]

Where did you sail in from?

Beirut.

-[Stevens] I have the ace. -And we're on our way to South Africa.

The Cape.

-Thank you. -Pleasure.

Tell me about the Cape.

There's a point at the Cape…

where the two oceans collide.

They create a swirl, much like a scar.

It's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life.

-Beautiful. -[Margarete] Pauline, don't be so boring.

[Margarete laughs]

-I would love to see that. -[Martin] Would you?

And I will see it.

I will travel the whole world.

Margarete, you'll come too.

You have my word.

Where will we go first?

[Elisabeth] India, South America. The choice is yours.

Excuse me.

Is there a… a washroom?

Uh, yes. I will escort you.

[chuckles] What a gentleman.

Thank you.

Ladies, make your move.

First, ouzo!

Would you like to see my boat tonight?

No.

[all laughing]

[Martin] You deserved that.

Attention!

-I want to make a toast. -[Martin] A toast?

-Yes. To new friends. -[Martin] Ah, yes.

To this island. And to your Queen.

-[both] God save the Queen. -And to our beloved Empress.

-[Martin] To the Empress. -[Stevens] To the Queen.

Margarete, you will burn.

-Huh? -[Stevens] Oh God.

-[Margarete] Oh, I'm on fire! -[Stevens] Quickly.

[gasps, exclaims]

[all laughing]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[dog barking]

[exhales sharply]

You're very beautiful.

[Pauline groans]

No. No!

[groaning]

[grunts]

[exhales]

-[laughing] -[Stevens] …to my mother.

Pauline?

What has happened?

I'd like to leave now.

[door opens]

[Elisabeth] Pauline?

Did he hurt you at all?

What did you do?

I just want to leave, Your Majesty.

Did she just call her "Majesty"?

Yes.

I am the Empress.

-Your Majesty. -Your Majesty.

[pensive music playing]

Where were the guards though?

It's my fault. I told them to leave so we could have some fun, Your Majesty.

Forgive me.

We will go back now.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[music continues]

[Charlotte] Majesty!

Majesty!

Elisabeth!

I have been so worried.

Everything's all right, Charlotte.

We were at the harbour and lost track of time.

Pauline, you don't look well.

I let that officer kiss me last night.

You did what?

-The opium got to me and I… -What have you done?

It was only three drops.

I knew you were a bad influence on Elisabeth from the very start.

I think I was exactly the right influence on her.

No! You only care about yourself and having fun.

At least I still know how to have fun. You're all so boring.

-So tedious, you bore me to tears! -Just stop now.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me, Your Majesty.

[sobbing]

Margarete,

it's my fault too.

Pauline.

I'm sorry.

It was my idea to have a drink with the officers.

I need you all.

Every one of you.

How did it feel, Pauline?

Your first kiss?

It wasn't good.

[Margarete] No more opium.

And that's a promise.

Enough of that.

It's time to return to Austria.

What say you all?

[melancholy music playing]

[Franz] "Dearest Elisabeth,

it's been a long time since I've heard from you.

[photographer] Wonderful, Your Majesty.

[Franz] "But I very much hope

that the distance and the air there will heal you."

[photographer] There will be a flash.

Do not be alarmed, Your Imperial Highnesses.

[Franz] "It's empty and quiet here."

"Without you, it's not home."

When Mother receives the picture, will she come back?

I hope so.

"I embrace the children. I talk to them about you."

-Rudolf, you must keep still now. -Your Majesty.

"I'm waiting for you."

"Until we meet again."

"With love, your Franz."

[melancholy music continues]

[footsteps approaching]

[knocking on door]

Majesty, I have letter for you.

Thank you.

To take home and remember.

You keep something from island.

And island keep something from you.

What do you mean?

Island always give something, keep something, and tell something.

What did it tell me?

You will find out, Your Majesty.

[gentle music playing]

[man 1] Please, can you pack it in the boat?

[man 2] That one has to go.

[man 3] There they are.

[man 1 speaking indistinctly]

[Margarete] Your Majesty.

I'm not coming back.

I beg your pardon?

You are not coming?

I can't return to Schönbrunn now.

I…

I know it'd be the end of me.

I'd be there to look after you, though.

[chuckles softly]

No.

We're not so alike after all, you and I.

Ida was right.

You must return. Your subjects are waiting for you.

Do not worry about me.

These islands…

They're my destiny.

But you don't believe in destiny.

I think I do.

[sombre music playing]

VENICE - KINGDOM OF LOMBARDY-VENETIA

[bell tolling]

[indistinct chatter]

[footsteps approaching]

[in Italian] Welcome to Venice!

This way.

This way, ladies.

Thank you.

[in English] My name is von Stubenberg. I believe we have a reservation.

Of course, we have a perfect suite for Her Maj…

Shh. We insist that Her Majesty is to stay here incognito.

[concierge] Certainly, Countess. I have not said a word to anyone.

[Charlotte] We've had a long journey. We need to take our rest.

[concierge in Italian] Of course, Countess.

[Charlotte in English] We'd wish to dine in a private dining room.

[concierge in Italian] Certainly.

[indistinct conversation]

Your Majesty, everything is ready.

You should put on something appropriate before dinner.

Don't give me that look. We're in the Empire.

What if someone recognizes you?

[breathes deeply]

You look like an empress again.

[bell tolling]

[exhales sharply]

Elisabeth, are you unwell?

[breathing shakily]

-I need to get some fresh air. -Shall I come with you?

No, thank you. I want to be alone for a moment.

I'll be right back.

[indistinct chatter]

[exhales deeply]

[man] Excuse me.

I thought I was alone.

[man] I do not mean to frighten you.

Your Majesty.

It seems my disguise didn't work very well.

[man] Are you referring to the hood?

There were rumours that you would stop here.

Are you feeling unwell, Your Majesty?

I am all right.

I'd like to know

what animal fur you are wearing.

A wolf.

Your Majesty, may I assume you are midway through a journey?

I am, yes.

My women and I have spent a few months on a Greek island.

-With the sea air and a good book? -That's how it began.

How did it end?

With ouzo down at the harbour.

And you, sir, are you travelling?

I've been to Paris, and I'm now on my way back to Buda.

I've been gone a long time.

So have I.

She's speaking to someone. Who is it?

[man] Looking back, it seems I have spent…

-I just can't believe it. -What?

-…nearly ten long years… -[Charlotte] Who is that?

…away from home.

Hungary is your homeland?

And my homeland is in need of some help, Your Majesty.

Is that the reason you approached me?

Sometimes only chance opens a door.

You've not told me your name, sir.

Your Majesty, there you are.

[in Hungarian] Gyula Andrássy!

Farewell.
