Sophie - Braut wider Willen (2005–…): Season 1, Episode 30 - Ich werde glücklich sein - full transcript
[Sophie - Reluctant Bride]
Sophie.
You make me the
happiest man in the world.
I just hope to be
a good wife for you.
I beg you.
There is not the slightest doubt about it.
If you have any wish, no matter what
it is, please do not hesitate to tell me.
I myself only a single one.
I want as many children as possible.
Because I love these creatures
just as much as you do.
There is a lot of thunder today.
From now on, you must fear
nothing and no one.
Do we not want to sit down? I...
And drink a tea?
Should we not tell your father and aunt?
I think they have the right to get to
know about it as soon as possible.
Everything was as bright as day
from the candlelight.
The table had been festively laid
and the musicians played a Waltz.
Yes, we had a lot of beautiful feasts.
My God, what have we just come to?
That it would once end
in this misery...dreadful.
Mister Hartenstein.
Count. Madam.
We have news.
Sophie agreed to become my wife.
Such a joy.
That is a joke, is it not?
Is it true, my child?
Yes, dad.
Now that Sophie agreed to marry me,
I would like to ask once again
in due form for your daughter's hand.
What is there to think about?
Of course, we agree.
We congratulate you.
Well for me it looked as
if they were soon to get married.
He gave her a kiss on the hand.
He even talked about children.
That would be too good to be true.
I only believe it once
I heard it from Sophie herself.
I'm not lying.
Max, you must have noticed it.
It's true.
Hartenstein asked for her hand
and she said yes.
That means...
they're engaged?
- Isn't that awesome? We've been saved.
I can't believe it just yet!
But only if Hartenstein
assumes the debts.
That's not even in question.
The masteries don't have to got the poor house.
And you don't [have to go]
to the East or elsewhere.
That's true.
Aren't you happy at all?
Yes, I do. Sure.
For you.
Well then I'd say,
we now begin to unpack again
After all, there's going to be a big engagement dinner soon
and we need to be prepared for that.
Is that wonderful.
The bailiff did not
even leave us a carafe.
That will change.
You know I am very thankful to you.
For everything you did for us
and also for the estate.
And will do.
- Sure.
Nevertheless, I want to
make it clear again
that you were not my
desired candidate for Sophie.
Because of that I will vigilantly
observe the developments
and I will immediately, immediately intervene
if you lack in respect or care towards Sophie.
Dear Count,
I will give you no occasion to doubt
my qualities as a good husband.
I love Sophie.
And I will not let her lack anything.
I assumed so.
To love.
And to the happy chance of things.
Today is the most important
day of my life.
Oh no.
The most important one was when
Max asked me if I want to marry him.
I just cannot believe
he does not love my anymore.
But I probably have to accept it.
They're celebrating and dancing
for joy in the kitchen.
Everything alright?
Sure, I am fine.
I assume the world trip with
The Grand Duchess won't happen.
Maybe I should already
pack for my honeymoon.
The thought of it doesn't seem
to make you very happy.
I did the right thing, did I not?
I think so.
Why should I reject
Friedrich any longer?
Max does not want me anymore. So...
And Friedrich is not a bad man.
He is building schools.
He has...
...has paid the doctor for dad.
He returned the portrait of mum.
Someone can love someone like this
until death does them apart, can you not?
I am so happy that matters have
developed in the right direction after all.
Good that you did not get discouraged
by my niece's rebellious nature.
I do not give up that quickly if
I have such an attractive goal in mind.
You will marry a beautiful bride
but not a rich one.
May I assume that our problems...
- Do not worry, Countess.
You will not go to the poor house.
We are relatives now.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
By the way I prepared the invitations
for the engagement party.
Are you alright with us hosting
a small feast in an intimate setting?
Of course.
Countess, you are reading my mind.
I prepared a selection right here.
I hope you agree with it.
I am sure but if you insist.
Colonel of Kotwitz.
Baron of the Fohl.
Count Reuß.
Baron of Kettelaer.
He probably has to attend?
He knows Sophie
since childhood.
Well fine.
Baroness Viethoff.
Yes we have become a bit
of friends in the last time.
How nice.
Well then we agree?
Should I let Hans
dispense the invitations?
If it does not cause too much trouble...
- I beg you. For what does one have staff?
Listen, gentlemen, and be told
our bell has rung eleven o'clock.
Eleven of the disciples stay loyal.
It does help in death and regret.
Human guards are of no use,
God must make, God must protect.
Lord, bring us [...]
with our benevolence and power.
Should I tell them to
already chill the champagne?
Only a few weeks
then I am in there.
Max?
I can't tell you more about your father.
Even if you put me
under more pressure.
It's not important anymore.
Did something happen?
You look horrible.
Are you hungry?
Should I make you a tea?
A tea would be good.
It's cold.
Did you want to talk with me or
just quickly warm up again?
Doesn't this have to be finished?
If you're still working so late at night.
You're more important than work.
Especially if you have
something on your mind.
Sophie will marry someone else.
Someone who suits her better.
I thought you were inseparable.
I told her it's over.
I'm sorry.
If she knew how much
you love her...
She'll forget me and become happy.
And you?
Listen, gentlemen, and be told
our bell has rung 12 o'clock.
Twelve is the end of time.
People consider eternity.
Human guards are of no use,
God must make, God must protect.
Goodbye, Max!
Lina!
What's this? Hey, rise!
Wake up!
The oven needs to be stoked up,
the water for the masteries
needs to be brought upstairs.
Up!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How can one just oversleep
on a day like this?
I waited a pretty long time
for my fiancé last night.
What?
You're engaged?
He even already kissed me.
Tell me, who is it?
You'd really like to know.
Oh come on, you're only lying
to me because you overslept.
No.
Well then tell me who it is.
It's Max.
Max kissed you?
And by that we're now
engaged, aren't we?
Well if he kissed you,
you're basically already married.
I think so too.
No way! Before your wedding,
there will be another wedding.
Tonight the engagement is celebrated.
For God's sake. I want to see you
in the kitchen in two minutes.
This or rather that?
Does not matter.
This one.
I think that one is prettier.
Why?
It's more festive.
After all, you're celebrating
your engagement today.
But I will change dresses
for that anyway.
Regardless, I think that's more suitable.
And that is exactly why
I will not take it.
I know I'm a little late.
Did Sophie already ask for me?
No.
- Good.
Have you got an idea
where Max is?
Why?
He didn't sleep in his room.
I checked.
Can you ask Benedikt
when you see him?
Will do.
- Thanks.
What is that supposed to mean?
Max does not sleep in his bed
and Lina worries about it?
Does not matter.
How is that my business?
The chapter Max is finished
for me once and for all.
Italian ham, champagne,
bananas from the colonies,
Yes, the young master of
Ahlen estate does things in style.
He is not the master here yet.
Oh it's just a matter of time.
- Unfortunately.
You have an evil tongue,
Mister of Kettelaer.
I should say so.
Oh come. Not there where
everyone falls over it. Over here.
Only the very best is good enough.
If something is still missing...
My master told me to tell you
I'm supposed to procure whatever you need.
No, at the moment...
Thanks.
Don't just stand around here. Bring the
champagne to the cellar & ham to the pantry.
I wonder if our newly rich
braggart even knows
how to get to grips with
this artwork of nature.
You don't like him
very much, hm?
Do I like snow which
got lost under the scarf?
Then you would have chosen
differently for our Sophie?
I fear I am not the only one.
That goes to the parlor.
Moron, take care.
Our furniture.
There are still miracles happening!
Mister Hartenstein, I do not
know how to thank you.
Countess, that was self-evident or
did you like the empty rooms better?
It was horrible.
But since I know our distress
has come to an end I feel like reborn.
Countess.
You look even more beautiful
this morning than I remembered you.
Have you slept well?
- Very well. Thank you.
You will not believe
how happy you make us with this.
I promised you you never have to leave
the estate and I kept my promise.
I am seriously overwhelmed
by your generosity.
Here.
Even the old Holländer/
Dutch man is back.
Count.
- Here Theo, look.
Oh wonderful.
Uhm that goes into the dinning room.
Mister Umbach is outside
and wants to talk to you.
What does he want again?
I would have been surprised if the misery
had been gone in one fell swoop. Please.
Do not be frightened, Count.
This time, I come with good news.
Well I am curious.
- Mister Count,
that is for you.
The abstracts from the land register?
Mister Hartenstein paid off all
the mortgages on the estate this morning.
Just like that?
- Just like that? Without conditions.
You are the master of Ahlen again.
You alone.
I wanted to be sure
you will like the ring.
You have your very own
taste in these matters.
Why?
The necklace I gave you
was too tacky for you.
Indeed.
You would have rather
put the money into the school.
Yes.
Noah.
Did...did we not want to
go to the jeweler?
I thought I would show you the school first.
You must be deeply interested in that.
Yes but...
You seem to know me very well.
How do you feel?
Good.
I am a bride now.
In fact, the most beautiful far and wide.
It is a good decision.
Not just because
the estate will be saved.
Friedrich is very...
- How is he?
You look wonderful.
Very attentive.
He really is very attentive.
And more sensitive than I thought.
So you do not regret your decision?
I have no reason to.
We are all happy of
the turn of events but...
if you are not sure, Sophie...
It is alright. Really, dad.
Maybe we were all wrong about him.
He ransomed the entire estate.
And that even before
the official engagement.
There you go.
He is a good man.
Then let us hope he will stay one.
Do not look so grumpy now.
Your daughter is getting engaged.
You should actually
be excited about it.
You are right.
Are you ready?
Am I ready?
- A moment.
Now.
Then let us go.
That is probably your
personal Waterloo, Baron, is it not?
But why?
Did you not announce once to prevent a
liaison between Sophie and Hartenstein
under any circumstances?
I never said it like that.
I am happy we kept the circle small
or in the end it would have looked
like I wanted to impress someone again.
But who says something like that?
Believe me, Countess, I know what
some people think of me.
Oh such nonsense. Your entire
appearance testifies the opposite.
Where is actually Mrs of Viethoff?
The poor thing is still in mourning.
Probably the pain is still to heavy.
Oh of course.
There they come.
- The convict is led to her execution.
Guard your tongue
before the guy cuts it out.
Dear friends, I am proud and happy
to announce the engagement of my daughter
Sophie to Mister Friedrich Hartenstein.
I wish bridal couple
a lot, a lot of luck.
You cannot imagine
what this day means to me.
Please...
take this ring...
as a sign of my eternal love.
And now I ask all of you to assemble
on the stairs of a photography.
Photography, one of the most
fascinating inventions of our new time.
Sophie.
You make me the
happiest man in the world.
I just hope to be
a good wife for you.
I beg you.
There is not the slightest doubt about it.
If you have any wish, no matter what
it is, please do not hesitate to tell me.
