Sophie - Braut wider Willen (2005–…): Season 1, Episode 28 - Stich ins Herz - full transcript
[Sophie - Reluctant Bride]
Why America?
We will do it like Rike's parents.
They were also at a loss and
now they are happy camper there.
Do you know...
- I am scared we will never see each other again.
When you go to the East and I am sent on a world tour with the Grand Duchess...
Please, Max. It might be
our only chance. Our last one.
How are we supposed to pay for the passage?
And what should we live off
until I found a job?
I will sell everything I have.
America.
Have you thought well about it?
Once we're gone...
- ...we are at least together.
Please, Max. I do not
want to lose you
Well fine.
Let's try it.
Yes.
We will start a new life.
Yes but let's wait until tonight.
We must prepare ourselves.
Maybe you are right.
I love you.
And because of that, at the suggestions of my new foreman Benedikt Bütow,
I did not spare any expenses or effort to
eliminate the hazard for workers due to the rollers at my factory.
The preparations for it are already done.
The safety stops will be installed in the next few days.
And now men, I would say have yourself served a proper over at the tavern.
At my expense, of course.
Long live, Benedikt.
- We don't need to be told that twice.
Thank you, Mister Hartenstein.
Come with us, Max.
Rike and I also once talked about if we should migrate.
But we can't currently.
I must take care of my family.
To Benedikt. Cheers, Benedikt.
- Cheers, guys.
You don't really look as
if you were excited about this idea.
It just goes too fast for me.
But maybe America is
really the solution.
I even think you could make it.
But a maid and a house with twenty rooms,
you also won't be able to offer that
to Sophie anytime soon in America either.
Oh she always said that
all of this means nothing to her.
It doesn't but
her family means a lot to her.
Benedikt, well done.
Sophie loves her father to bits.
I know that from Rike.
So what do you do if she can't stand it
anymore because of homesickness?
Alone and far away
in a foreign country.
Hopefully she won't use it
against you one day.
You think...
- My honest opinion?
But don't start with Hartenstein again.
I just wanted to say again that
probably one day Sophie thinks about
what she would have with him
and what you can't offer her.
We love one another.
And only that matters.
We love one another
and only that matters.
A moment.
Yes?
Theo, what is it?
The Count wants to talk to you.
Good, I'm coming.
Should I put some
more wood into the fire?
Oh Max, excuse me.
What can I do for you?
I wanted to hear if you
have already packed your things.
What do you mean?
Because of the position on
the estate of Baron Viethoff.
Not yet.
I wanted to talk about it
with my mother first.
I understand that. After all,
I unexpectedly dropped my offer on you.
Come. Take a seat.
Oh Max, I really would prefer
you could stay here.
That out of all things, I have to let go
such a capable man one day...
It is such a shame.
- Thank you very much.
Since I have been child,
I liked to be down here.
My mother thought back then that I was
secretly drinking but it was only this smell.
I loved it from day one and
will surely never forget it.
Yeah, yeah, Max.
Exporting the wine to America,
that was the biggest mistake of my life.
And Sophie now has to
carry the can for it.
The estate, the vineyards,
they were her future.
And now everything is pawned.
If only I had found
the right man for her,
one who she is in good hands with, someone who takes care of her. She is still so young.
Sir, I know this is sudden but...
Apologies, Max, but what is this over there please?
Excuse me?
- Down there.
Please be so kind and uhm...
- Of course.
Magda was right.
I should have sought for
a husband for her much earlier.
It's not too late yet.
A good, decent guy
who knows how to economize.
- That's very important, of course.
One who is moneyed,
who could save our estate with his money.
Please.
Thank you.
With the family crest.
I will keep it as a keepsake.
Excuse me, Max,
what were you about to say?
Not important anymore.
Max! Come here.
I was in town and enquired about travel connections.
And?
We will only need three days
to Bremen by carriage and train.
We can directly go on
to the ship from there.
If we are lucky, we will be
in America in just three weeks.
What are you doing there?
I...I...I cannot decide which
book of poems to take with me.
Uhm, Heine or Mörike?
Preferably, the lighter one.
One can also make decisions this way.
Let's talk later.
I am truly sorry to
cause you so much sorrow.
But it is not in my power
to revoke the bank's decision.
I do know you cannot
act any other way.
Mister Umbach.
Do you bring good news?
Dear Countess.
Has your board reconsidered?
I fear I must owe you that favor.
The interest in your
possessiona is very great.
We are already
negotiating with a buyer.
Magda.
Then we only have a few days left.
Do we really have to
move out this quickly?
It would be good for sure
if you already packed your things.
Where are you supposed to live then?
I assume that...
- Where do you think?
At the poor house, of course.
I will take you to
the door, Mister Umbach.
I will not allow it that
you go to the poor house.
Aunt Magda, do not cry.
I will come up with something.
I'll never get such a good job again.
You only got that kind of luck once in life.
- Now we all have to leave after all.
Oh Lina, don't be sad. Just come home.
- Oh Fritzchen.
My family has been working on
the estate for three generations.
And now I'm the last one.
You'll find a new job.
A good chef is needed everywhere.
And do you know how many
out there are looking for a job?
Theo is right. You'll probably find
a job faster than a blink of an eye.
Why did The Count even
let it come to this?
He would've only needed to accept
the loan from this Hartenstein.
Why did he decline it?
Because Hartenstein wanted
Sophie for it. That's why.
Be quiet, Lina.
Why? A blind person can see
that Hartenstein is after Sophie.
And if she would marry him...
- Shut up!
But if it's the truth!
It's enough!
It's about time to begin to clean up
instead of fighting pointlessly.
Was unsuccessful in
my search so far. Stop.
Because of that would be very delighted
to win Sophie as travel companion. Stop.
Expecting her imminent arrival
and so on and so forth.
Grand Duchess Amalie.
Well how did I do this?
Wonderfully as always.
If I was also successful
to [...] your father...
If I was also successful to...
Tell me, is someone dueling outside?
If I was also successful to place your father
in diplomatic service is still unclear.
I am waiting every hour for
an answer from Constantinople.
You are so kind, York, but dad can impossibly
travel such a long distance after his qualm.
Admittedly the drive
would be bit troublesome.
But the temperatures at the Mediterranean Sea are a lot more comfortable.
He and aunt Magda belong here.
The estate is their home.
I fear nevertheless they will
soon need a place to stay.
You must take care that
they find a good accommodation.
If you want that.
And if Otto and aunt Magda play along.
Promise me you will not
let them go to the poor house.
You must swear to me that you will
take care of them after my departure.
What is going on with you, Sophie?
What is supposed to be going on?
What's Sophie doing there?
Ask her. But take the blue coat with you.
She's way too thinly dressed.
Come, open the door for me.
It is time soon.
You have a visitor.
Gudrun is surely already
waiting for dinner, hm?
Two?
Not bad.
Fritzchen, do you want to
keep me company?
Here. For you.
So you won't get sick.
That is kind of you.
What are you doing? Are you writing?
- No.
Actually I do not.
So what?
Awesome. That's our estate.
You also don't want
to leave, do you?
You could become my teacher. At new school of the rolling mill.
Will you also go there now?
- Yes.
My big brother is the foreman.
I am happy you want to continue learning.
Hartenstein will take you for sure.
You're the best teacher in world.
Oh Fritzchen, come here.
This is quite out of the question.
I will carry it.
You must go easy on yourself.
The people are already whispering.
- Good.
Everyone can know that
I am expecting a son and heir.
[Greeting a guy
whose name I don't understand]
And it is not embarrassing to me at all.
Baroness. Baron.
- Mister Hartenstein.
Are you not a bit
too old for such a toy?
Yes, it is for my son.
My beloved wife is in
joyful anticipation/expectation.
And to be honest,
I also can hardly wait.
Oh, may I already congratulate you
to be blessed with a child then?
You may.
Astonishing that you still made it happen
after already eleven years of marriage.
But as the saying goes:
Good things need time.
One shall never lose hope.
Are you alright, mon général?
Uhm, everything is alright.
Thank you, darling. [Literally: Treasure]
My deference to you that you are still capable of such a performance in your condition.
Did someone maybe help with it?
- How dare you?
There is a lot of talk about...
He does not know
what he is saying.
Well then I wish a wonderful day to the expecting mother
and of course also to the proud father.
That will stay with me.
If you want one too,
you must buy it yourself.
Good that you are here, Baron.
I need to discuss something with you.
Have you got time?
A small moment, please.
I have to take a calm breath first.
- Of course.
The first toy for the junior?
Then it is inevitable that the
son and heir will join the cavalry.
As long as it is not the infantry.
Let us drink to that.
Just to be sure.
I don't know why we're doing this. We're cleaning for the people we don't even know.
One leaves their workplace impeccable.
The new masteries aren't supposed
to think we were sloppy around here.
I don't care what they think.
I suggested to put everything
into order for the new masteries
to make a good impression.
- Good.
From today forward, your fate
is in your own hands.
Let us start with the tableware.
Oh, a seal on my tableware?
I will not put up with that.
- Apologies, madam.
It's forbidden to break a seal.
I do not care, forbidden or not,
let them imprison me.
Then I will at least have
a roof over me head.
You did not just...
I will not have my heirloom
be taken away from me.
Breaking a seal is breaking the law.
They basically force me to do it.
All my life, I never got into
debt but that goes too far.
I fear the bailiff does not
share your opinion at all.
Then he should approach Sophie.
After all, she caused this dilemma.
Finally stop making Sophie
responsible for everything.
If she had not made such a fuss,
it would have never come to this.
Sophie will have her reasons
why she decided against Hartenstein.
But he is sincerely devoted to her.
He would fulfill her every wish.
[Literally: carry her on hands]
Stop it, Magda.
We are losing everything.
Why is she doing that to us?
Sophie is suffering as well.
You know very well
how attached she is to the estate.
When I went by her room today,
I heard her cry.
Don't be sad.
What do you think you will
get to see in the next year?
For sure, also the elephants in India.
Oh Rike, I am not going
on a pleasure trip.
So what? Despite that you
are allowed to be excited.
After all, you'll experience what I won't
experience in a hundred years.
I just cannot believe I am supposed
to never see all of this again.
And you neither.
What about that one?
Do you want to take it with you?
Yes or no?
No, it is way too magnificent
for this trip.
But you always liked it so much.
That's right, why?
I am giving it to you.
You can't do that.
- I can.
Not that one.
Will you promise me something?
You must not be mad
at me when I am gone.
Why would I be mad at you?
- Just promise it to me.
Well fine.
Was saying goodbye for your parents
also this hard when they went to America?
Goodbye, mon général.
[Literally: Make it good.]
I will miss you.
Come, Baroness.
Nice of you to have
come around again.
Do you think I'll let you go
without saying goodbye?
Cheers!
For you. I actually wanted
to get you a pocket knife.
I already got one.
- Exactly.
But you don't have
enough of that for sure.
Thanks.
But I don't need your money.
Don't make such a fuss.
I don't want you to immediately
go hungry in America.
America is cancelled.
- What?
I have to think for two.
We can't solve
our problems in America.
At least not in a way
we'll become happy.
I've made a decision.
So now I really have to say goodbye.
It is so hard.
Who knows if I will ever see
dad and aunt Magda again.
And Rike.
And Gudrun.
Yes?
May I come in?
Of course, dad.
I just wanted to see
if you are doing well.
You are already ready to leave?
Dad.
I am so sorry for
how everything turned out.
But it is not your fault.
I asked York to ask around.
He is looking for place for you to stay.
Botho offered us to live with him, so...
do not worry about us.
And promise me
you will take good care of yourself.
After all, you have never been
away from home for so long.
I promise.
And no matter where I am,
I will never forget you.
Finally, there you are. We must hurry
or else we will miss the carriage.
Wait.
Max!
- I must tell you something.
Can this not wait until later?
Where are your things?
- I...
God damn it.
It hurts me too
to leave all of this behind.
But whatever expects us in America,
we will handle/make it together.
No!
I don't believe we'll become happy together,
not here, not anywhere else.
Max, what are you saying there?
I don't want to go to America with you.
But what happened?
I don't love you.
I never loved you and I most definitely
don't want to live with you.
Why America?
We will do it like Rike's parents.
They were also at a loss and
now they are happy camper there.
Do you know...
- I am scared we will never see each other again.
When you go to the East and I am sent on a world tour with the Grand Duchess...
Please, Max. It might be
our only chance. Our last one.
How are we supposed to pay for the passage?
And what should we live off

Yes but let's wait until tonight.
We must prepare ourselves.
Maybe you are right.
I love you.
And because of that, at the suggestions of my new foreman Benedikt Bütow,
I did not spare any expenses or effort to
eliminate the hazard for workers due to the rollers at my factory.
The preparations for it are already done.
The safety stops will be installed in the next few days.
And now men, I would say have yourself served a proper over at the tavern.
At my expense, of course.

dad and aunt Magda again.
And Rike.
And Gudrun.
Yes?
May I come in?
Of course, dad.
I just wanted to see
if you are doing well.
You are already ready to leave?
Dad.
I am so sorry for
how everything turned out.
But it is not your fault.
I asked York to ask around.
He is looking for place for you to stay.
Botho offered us to live with him, so...
do not worry about us.
And promise me
you will take good care of yourself.
After all, you have never been
away from home for so long.
I promise.
And no matter where I am,
I will never forget you.
Finally, there you are. We must hurry
or else we will miss the carriage.
Wait.
Max!
- I must tell you something.
Can this not wait until later?
Where are your things?
- I...
God damn it.
It hurts me too
to leave all of this behind.
But whatever expects us in America,
we will handle/make it together.
No!
I don't believe we'll become happy together,
not here, not anywhere else.
Max, what are you saying there?
I don't want to go to America with you.
But what happened?
I don't love you.
I never loved you and I most definitely
don't want to live with you.
