:12:00
And Frederick will be able to obtain
the name and the title of Essenbeck.
:12:05
Don't you think you are demanding
too much?
:12:07
You are also demanding.
:12:11
You know the hostility that still interferes
with our marriage.
:12:17
Yours is a beautiful love story.
:12:26
An exemplary story.
:12:28
But I don't see how it is directly connected
with the life of the Third Reich.
:12:33
It's not just a love story.
:12:36
To wage war, they want cannons.
:12:40
They won't have enough
without the Essenbeck Steelworks.
:12:43
Watch out, cousin Aschenbach.
:12:45
In this negotiation, I don't have
less of an argument than you have.
:12:48
What made you suddenly
become such a miser with concessions?
:12:52
That's not difficult to answer.
:12:56
In every question of power...
:12:59
always an alternative is necessary,
even hypothetical.
:13:03
- It's the first rule in the art of governing.
- Enough. I understand.
:13:07
That means, it doesn't seem practical
to put everything in Frederick's hands...
:13:12
even that which is Martin's.
:13:17
He's your son, Sophie.
:13:19
Must I always be the one
to remind you of that?
:13:38
I can't believe it's possible.
:13:41
- When?
- Soon, Frederick.
:13:45
Much sooner than you think.
:13:56
And Aschenbach?
:13:59
Aschenbach is against it.
But what does that mean?
