Immortal Beloved Page #5

---

We were married yesterday.

She is with child.

Now leave!

He behaved no better

when I married Therese.

He wanted us both

at his beck and call.

Give up the search.

I cannot.

I have my reasons.

I will find this lady.

And she will claim her legacy

with the full force of the law.

"The journey was dreadful.

The coach had to go and break

down on such a terrible road.

And for no reason,

just a country road.

I have to see you.

However much you love me,

I love you more.

Never hide yourself from me".

Excuse me. I'm looking for

the Countess Erddy.

Erddy?

I'm looking for the Countess Erddy.

Zoltan!

Schindler.

You do not recognize me?

Oh.

Please, sit.

Join me for dinner.

- Countess.

- Anna Marie.

These are my people I'm home now.

I don't have to play the countess.

I'm free!

Poor Louis.

I miss him so much.

His death has left a void.

The way they treated him...

disgusted me.

He was too good for them.

His fire...

offended their small brains.

But not you.

I could match his temperament.

You gave him rooms at your palace?

I wanted him near me.

Was he your lover?

Horns!

Clarinets!

From the beginning.

From the beginning.

That was how I met Louis...

and how the world

learned of his deafness.

I was separated from my husband.

I lived an independent life in Vienna

with my three children.

I will arrange a housekeeper.

Please.

Oh, I had one.

She cheated me.

We had thought of Napoleon

as a liberator...

a force for change.

Now we saw the truth.

Bonaparte

had declared himself emperor...

and set out to conquer the world.

He said he brought freedom

from the tyranny of kings.

But he was Saturn,

gobbling up his children.

His cannon fired night and day...

on the city of Vienna.

Leave her alone!

Mimi!

Fire!

Madam.

There is a gentleman

here to see you.

I cannot receive anybody.

I think he is deaf.

He will not go away.

The countess will see you now.

Your son...

We will speak in music.

Napoleon was victorious.

The whole of Europe was at his feet.

He took a Hapsburg princess

as his bride...

and set up court at Schoenbrun Palace.

He proved himself no different

than any aristocrat.

Everybody was betrayed.

This was the way

of the modern world.

The year Louis lived with us...

was the happiest of my life.

And, I think, of his too.

He opened his heart to me.

He called me

his father confessor.

He told me everything.

You must have loved him

very, very much.

With all my heart.

And he you.

I don't think so. No.

Then he was a fool!

I like you better drunk.

- It's good to talk about him.

- Yeah.

But is this why

you came all this way?

No, not only.

You said there was

some unfinished business.
