1
00:00:15,911 --> 00:00:17,371
Did you see that out there?

2
00:00:17,708 --> 00:00:19,998
We need to negotiate a surrender.

3
00:00:20,138 --> 00:00:21,848
Oh, we do.

4
00:00:22,668 --> 00:00:25,379
You to me.

5
00:00:26,875 --> 00:00:28,585
Because that's what I'm seeing.

6
00:00:30,088 --> 00:00:31,506
I mean, think about it.

7
00:00:32,624 --> 00:00:35,710
You, the Church, me,
fucking whipping 'em up.

8
00:00:36,392 --> 00:00:41,814
You join me, bring the
Church, and it is ours.

9
00:00:42,904 --> 00:00:44,347
I, um...

10
00:00:44,514 --> 00:00:47,027
Are you listening or
just watching my lips,

11
00:00:47,027 --> 00:00:48,487
wondering how they taste?

12
00:00:49,863 --> 00:00:51,968
- Hmm?
- You wouldn't be good for me.

13
00:00:51,979 --> 00:00:54,982
Oh, I would.

14
00:00:55,795 --> 00:00:58,006
Very good.

15
00:01:00,005 --> 00:01:02,084
I think I'd lose myself.

16
00:01:02,084 --> 00:01:03,168
Mm.

17
00:01:04,130 --> 00:01:06,633
You really fuckin' would.

18
00:01:17,559 --> 00:01:19,488
Mm.

19
00:01:21,962 --> 00:01:23,339
Fuck God.

20
00:01:23,521 --> 00:01:25,648
It's me you need.

21
00:01:25,659 --> 00:01:26,868
Mm.

22
00:01:28,523 --> 00:01:29,816
No.

23
00:01:30,237 --> 00:01:32,322
No! Fucking no!

24
00:01:35,285 --> 00:01:37,495
Then you'll die with the
rest of them, Patriarch.

25
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,625
Oh! Fucker!

26
00:01:48,201 --> 00:01:50,302
These fuckin' people!

27
00:01:53,483 --> 00:01:56,466
Hello. I have a carriage waiting.

28
00:01:57,950 --> 00:01:59,183
I'd rather you shoot me.

29
00:01:59,183 --> 00:02:00,350
I doubt that.

30
00:02:00,350 --> 00:02:02,045
That seems just pugnacious talk

31
00:02:02,056 --> 00:02:04,938
to preserve one's dignity
in the face of defeat.

32
00:02:05,084 --> 00:02:08,630
That sounds like you're not
allowed to shoot me. Hmm?

33
00:02:10,141 --> 00:02:11,347
Hmm.

34
00:02:14,098 --> 00:02:15,391
Annoying.

35
00:02:20,598 --> 00:02:21,765
Good day, sir.

36
00:02:21,776 --> 00:02:24,154
You again.

37
00:02:26,696 --> 00:02:29,157
Shouldn't you be in school?

38
00:02:36,845 --> 00:02:39,631
Outrageous!

39
00:02:45,049 --> 00:02:46,467
Hello.

40
00:02:47,038 --> 00:02:48,122
Wife.

41
00:02:49,068 --> 00:02:50,678
You're a fucking liar.

42
00:02:50,689 --> 00:02:53,442
Lookalike is a lie,
so occupational hazard.

43
00:02:54,154 --> 00:02:55,948
Those things you said to the people.

44
00:02:57,185 --> 00:02:58,701
You were there?

45
00:02:58,701 --> 00:03:01,078
Ah, must have been hard on you.

46
00:03:02,662 --> 00:03:04,706
Can I have some figs and ricotta?

47
00:03:07,214 --> 00:03:08,760
No.

48
00:03:08,771 --> 00:03:10,940
You could have a deal that
saves your life instead.

49
00:03:11,608 --> 00:03:13,924
Is it "come home and we
live happily ever after

50
00:03:13,924 --> 00:03:15,384
"like a partridge in a pear tree,

51
00:03:15,384 --> 00:03:18,053
have a fuck, pretend it
was a mere lovers' tiff"?

52
00:03:18,053 --> 00:03:19,888
Stop doing that.

53
00:03:20,110 --> 00:03:22,237
Or they will come in and
cut your head from your body.

54
00:03:22,248 --> 00:03:23,333
Oh. Toosh!

55
00:03:24,278 --> 00:03:25,738
Don't do that!

56
00:03:27,907 --> 00:03:30,441
You lied about me. About him.

57
00:03:30,441 --> 00:03:32,901
- Raised a land of hate.
- I didn't have to do much.

58
00:03:32,901 --> 00:03:35,195
They just don't fucking
like you, to be honest.

59
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:37,281
Even in your own court,
people don't love you.

60
00:03:37,281 --> 00:03:40,034
You are going back
to Moscow with my men,

61
00:03:40,168 --> 00:03:44,329
and you will reveal yourself
and surrender, as Pugachev,

62
00:03:44,329 --> 00:03:45,831
the bad-breathed Cossack.

63
00:03:45,831 --> 00:03:47,082
Oh, that's harsh.

64
00:03:47,082 --> 00:03:48,709
I mean, they brought me
tuna, what could I do?

65
00:03:48,709 --> 00:03:50,310
You will then be caged and taken from

66
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,463
village to village to tell your story

67
00:03:52,695 --> 00:03:54,947
and make them embarrassed
they followed you.

68
00:03:55,758 --> 00:03:57,593
My husband will have his name back.

69
00:03:57,593 --> 00:03:58,886
Hmm.

70
00:03:59,166 --> 00:04:02,961
Or I could choose to die.
That would fuck you up.

71
00:04:04,349 --> 00:04:06,018
I don't think you'd choose that.

72
00:04:06,018 --> 00:04:07,728
That's the difference
between you and me.

73
00:04:08,126 --> 00:04:09,656
I'm gonna die by the knife sometime,

74
00:04:09,666 --> 00:04:11,315
that's how it is for people like me.

75
00:04:11,315 --> 00:04:14,151
So why not die at the
height of my infamy,

76
00:04:14,151 --> 00:04:16,592
having fucked up the empress and trashed

77
00:04:16,602 --> 00:04:18,822
the good name of a fucking arsehole?

78
00:04:18,822 --> 00:04:21,408
Because you both would've killed
me and thrown my body to the pigs,

79
00:04:21,408 --> 00:04:23,202
while you kissed and made up that night.

80
00:04:23,786 --> 00:04:25,276
I was sorry about that.

81
00:04:25,287 --> 00:04:30,793
Hmm. The thing is, kill me or
don't, they'll still come for you.

82
00:04:30,793 --> 00:04:32,753
They do love me.

83
00:04:32,753 --> 00:04:35,255
The walls fuckin' shook
with my hold on them.

84
00:04:35,421 --> 00:04:37,549
You felt their love for me.

85
00:04:37,729 --> 00:04:38,937
Hmm?

86
00:04:38,948 --> 00:04:42,452
Maybe running this country's my destiny.

87
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:48,175
Hmm.

88
00:04:53,241 --> 00:04:58,241
- Synced and corrected by naFraC -
- www.addic7ed.com -

89
00:05:32,930 --> 00:05:35,349
He really planned all
these breakfasts in advance?

90
00:05:39,069 --> 00:05:40,237
Crazy.

91
00:05:41,572 --> 00:05:43,574
So annoyed they didn't let me kill him.

92
00:05:43,574 --> 00:05:45,701
Oh, shut up, Maxim!

93
00:05:46,172 --> 00:05:49,204
Poor fucking guy. He just
wanted a chance at a new life.

94
00:05:49,204 --> 00:05:52,041
Who wouldn't want a
chance at a new life?

95
00:05:52,041 --> 00:05:55,419
What if he talks, Marial? About you.

96
00:05:55,621 --> 00:05:57,004
Then you'll have a different life.

97
00:05:57,004 --> 00:05:59,298
Then he talks. I'm not
going to be scared anymore.

98
00:05:59,298 --> 00:06:03,218
He's a troublesome, mouthy peasant
who someone else now gets to kill.

99
00:06:06,013 --> 00:06:07,556
Could you finish my shoes?

100
00:06:07,556 --> 00:06:10,350
I'm upset and I don't trust the staff.

101
00:06:18,725 --> 00:06:19,766
Hugo's still there.

102
00:06:19,777 --> 00:06:21,236
Fucker.

103
00:06:21,398 --> 00:06:23,609
Gonna follow me to Grigor.

104
00:06:23,620 --> 00:06:25,413
Me! Can we chat?

105
00:06:31,955 --> 00:06:33,749
Out, needy dormouse.

106
00:06:33,749 --> 00:06:35,334
Actually, go get my gun, Petra.

107
00:06:35,334 --> 00:06:36,919
Just where I was going.

108
00:06:36,919 --> 00:06:39,630
Look, been waiting out there all night.

109
00:06:41,215 --> 00:06:42,508
A few thoughts.

110
00:06:44,009 --> 00:06:46,929
You're a stunning, beautiful,

111
00:06:46,929 --> 00:06:48,597
scheming liar

112
00:06:48,597 --> 00:06:50,391
who hasn't been fucked in a while

113
00:06:50,974 --> 00:06:53,394
and so has a little edge
that is even more attractive.

114
00:06:54,133 --> 00:06:57,215
- I wanna work with you.
- I want to watch blood spurt from your eye.

115
00:06:57,226 --> 00:07:00,249
The way you say it, so do I.

116
00:07:03,586 --> 00:07:05,171
Oww! Fuck.

117
00:07:07,906 --> 00:07:09,365
Can we get some tea, Petra?

118
00:07:12,746 --> 00:07:16,458
This is what I've seen,
because I have been watching.

119
00:07:17,975 --> 00:07:20,227
You're an opportunist.

120
00:07:20,238 --> 00:07:22,657
You hate her and try
to cause her problems.

121
00:07:23,232 --> 00:07:24,733
But don't you want more?

122
00:07:25,927 --> 00:07:28,179
All of it, I say.

123
00:07:28,190 --> 00:07:29,930
And you can help me, can you?

124
00:07:29,930 --> 00:07:32,433
There are only two people in
this country with king experience,

125
00:07:32,433 --> 00:07:33,851
and you're lookin' at one of them.

126
00:07:34,518 --> 00:07:36,311
So do you wanna bring her down or not?

127
00:07:36,311 --> 00:07:39,606
Of course, I don't. I love
her, treasonous Swedish prick.

128
00:07:39,718 --> 00:07:41,191
Great. So you do.

129
00:07:44,551 --> 00:07:45,552
Pugachev.

130
00:07:46,030 --> 00:07:48,907
Her choices being: tell
everyone she killed Peter,

131
00:07:48,907 --> 00:07:51,827
or try and explain who
the fuck Pugachev was,

132
00:07:51,827 --> 00:07:55,465
or kill him, creating a martyr and
a vacuum at the top of an uprising.

133
00:07:55,476 --> 00:07:56,894
All bad.

134
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,982
We add in the general sense that

135
00:07:58,992 --> 00:08:01,420
she's in some kind of suicidal malaise,

136
00:08:01,420 --> 00:08:03,589
and we have a chance.

137
00:08:04,810 --> 00:08:06,432
Grigor has Paul.

138
00:08:06,443 --> 00:08:09,624
And I think you know where he is and
don't want me following you there.

139
00:08:09,635 --> 00:08:12,763
You're really taking a
big risk here, saying this.

140
00:08:12,774 --> 00:08:16,820
I know, but it's that kind
of day, where lives change.

141
00:08:20,288 --> 00:08:22,487
You know it's mine and Agnes'
wedding anniversary today?

142
00:08:22,498 --> 00:08:24,756
- Who cares?
- Thirty-six years.

143
00:08:24,783 --> 00:08:25,784
What?

144
00:08:26,765 --> 00:08:28,457
- You only look...
- Thirty-seven?

145
00:08:28,468 --> 00:08:29,803
I am 37.

146
00:08:29,814 --> 00:08:31,566
Royal marriage. Married at one.

147
00:08:33,530 --> 00:08:35,399
I can see you as a queen.

148
00:08:35,410 --> 00:08:36,578
What are you saying?

149
00:08:36,644 --> 00:08:39,416
Get Paul, ordain Paul,

150
00:08:39,416 --> 00:08:42,544
and you marry Paul.

151
00:08:44,781 --> 00:08:46,491
I know! It's amazing!

152
00:08:49,428 --> 00:08:51,118
There is an uprising sitting in Moscow,

153
00:08:51,128 --> 00:08:52,346
and in a while, they will realize

154
00:08:52,346 --> 00:08:54,348
they do not have a
leader, but they need one.

155
00:08:55,517 --> 00:08:59,187
We can take the whole country...

156
00:08:59,567 --> 00:09:00,902
Fuck.

157
00:09:01,297 --> 00:09:03,424
I've... I've been a king.

158
00:09:03,435 --> 00:09:05,025
We'd... love it.

159
00:09:05,025 --> 00:09:07,903
Ah, c... fuck, you sedated the tea.

160
00:09:07,914 --> 00:09:09,374
Of course, I did, genius.

161
00:09:11,290 --> 00:09:12,810
Fuck.

162
00:09:14,768 --> 00:09:17,228
Good night, translucent Swedish idiot.

163
00:09:20,169 --> 00:09:21,545
Great idea, though.

164
00:09:21,819 --> 00:09:24,409
The important thing,
Maxim, is to ask yourself

165
00:09:24,420 --> 00:09:26,922
what will bring peace to your heart.

166
00:09:27,153 --> 00:09:28,590
Would you suggest prayer?

167
00:09:28,590 --> 00:09:30,592
Or I do enjoy tennis. Maybe that.

168
00:09:30,688 --> 00:09:32,440
Well, tennis never hurt.

169
00:09:32,451 --> 00:09:35,452
I just become enraged when
I don't get what I want.

170
00:09:35,463 --> 00:09:38,559
You have to float out of your
body, float above yourself,

171
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,603
and add in the context of
a world beyond yourself.

172
00:09:41,603 --> 00:09:42,855
- Hmm.
- However...

173
00:09:42,990 --> 00:09:46,316
there are moments in a man's
life he knows when to pray,

174
00:09:46,327 --> 00:09:47,996
when to play tennis...

175
00:09:48,847 --> 00:09:52,309
and when to act to preserve one's life.

176
00:09:53,597 --> 00:09:54,640
Good advice.

177
00:10:02,147 --> 00:10:04,274
What is it with you, kid?

178
00:10:10,983 --> 00:10:12,693
Call me Maxim.

179
00:10:18,103 --> 00:10:19,146
Morning.

180
00:10:19,157 --> 00:10:21,018
I want a job.

181
00:10:21,297 --> 00:10:23,187
A job? Doing what?

182
00:10:23,536 --> 00:10:24,688
You're not a political person.

183
00:10:24,688 --> 00:10:26,289
Oh, really? I gave you the idea for

184
00:10:26,299 --> 00:10:29,109
the coup which got you on the throne.

185
00:10:29,245 --> 00:10:30,694
Seems political.

186
00:10:30,694 --> 00:10:32,029
What about chief advisor?

187
00:10:32,157 --> 00:10:34,993
Seems vague and probably
doesn't involve reading?

188
00:10:35,004 --> 00:10:37,023
Do you remember?

189
00:10:37,034 --> 00:10:41,288
Did I have a sense of destiny before
or after you had the coup idea?

190
00:10:41,730 --> 00:10:43,496
Because I feel like maybe I made it up

191
00:10:43,506 --> 00:10:45,584
after to kind of make me believe in it.

192
00:10:45,584 --> 00:10:48,688
Um, you arrived delusional
about almost everything.

193
00:10:48,699 --> 00:10:50,142
But when did I say it?

194
00:10:50,153 --> 00:10:52,049
Um... um...

195
00:10:52,049 --> 00:10:54,134
I suggested "Kill him,"

196
00:10:54,134 --> 00:10:56,845
and you said, "I knew
I had a destiny here."

197
00:10:56,998 --> 00:10:59,366
"I thought it was love,
maybe it's Russia itself."

198
00:10:59,377 --> 00:11:01,683
- I said "maybe"?
- Who the fuck knows?

199
00:11:01,683 --> 00:11:05,145
Let's focus on my job. I need something.

200
00:11:05,145 --> 00:11:08,315
Cannot just be married to an
11-year-old and arrange his shoes.

201
00:11:08,982 --> 00:11:10,885
After last night I've never felt more...

202
00:11:10,896 --> 00:11:13,023
- Hated?
- And German.

203
00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:14,403
A foreigner.

204
00:11:14,791 --> 00:11:16,420
So many lies.

205
00:11:16,431 --> 00:11:18,283
We're not gonna talk
about my job, are we?

206
00:11:18,294 --> 00:11:20,463
At least I will reclaim Peter for Paul.

207
00:11:21,743 --> 00:11:23,953
I need Pugachev to make this deal.

208
00:11:25,117 --> 00:11:28,293
Um, Pugachev's a
massive liar, by the way.

209
00:11:28,293 --> 00:11:29,503
I just said that.

210
00:11:34,175 --> 00:11:35,175
Who's that?

211
00:11:35,186 --> 00:11:38,721
A Castrati. Famously
great fuck. Seedless, too.

212
00:11:38,732 --> 00:11:41,473
Forget all that. Do you know
what? This is a great day.

213
00:11:41,473 --> 00:11:43,142
You have never led, as you,

214
00:11:43,142 --> 00:11:45,477
without Peter on your back,
in your head, or up your bum...

215
00:11:45,477 --> 00:11:46,478
Marial.

216
00:11:46,478 --> 00:11:50,899
The point is, the coup is finally done.

217
00:11:51,582 --> 00:11:53,000
Pretend for me.

218
00:11:54,653 --> 00:11:56,196
- It's day one.
- Marial.

219
00:11:56,196 --> 00:11:57,364
Just do it!

220
00:11:57,364 --> 00:11:59,408
For what would it have
been like without him,

221
00:11:59,408 --> 00:12:01,493
if he had been dead that first day?

222
00:12:01,493 --> 00:12:03,912
Other than I would've missed
the great love of my life?

223
00:12:03,912 --> 00:12:06,498
Who perverted your rule?
Yes. Other than that.

224
00:12:09,686 --> 00:12:11,104
Morning, Empress.

225
00:12:11,115 --> 00:12:12,575
What a day!

226
00:12:12,586 --> 00:12:14,672
Boy, are the people excited!

227
00:12:15,270 --> 00:12:18,148
You look excited too.
What joy you will bring.

228
00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:19,535
Day one!

229
00:12:19,695 --> 00:12:21,055
Here we go!

230
00:12:21,055 --> 00:12:24,099
As your chief advisor and
founding member of the coup,

231
00:12:24,099 --> 00:12:27,102
I, for one, am pretty
upbeat about the day.

232
00:12:28,228 --> 00:12:30,272
Exactly.

233
00:12:30,272 --> 00:12:32,191
Such happiness. How will you lead?

234
00:12:32,191 --> 00:12:33,942
Go forth. Let us discover.

235
00:12:36,278 --> 00:12:39,156
I will lead with a lightness of heart

236
00:12:39,156 --> 00:12:40,683
and joy for the task,

237
00:12:40,694 --> 00:12:44,072
bringing naivete and
delusion to all that I do.

238
00:12:52,116 --> 00:12:54,244
Your seat, Empress.

239
00:12:54,329 --> 00:12:57,007
Well, gosh, I'm overwhelmed.

240
00:12:57,007 --> 00:12:59,188
I'm sure it will go oh-so-well, though.

241
00:13:14,813 --> 00:13:16,871
- Yours?
- Yes, Empress.

242
00:13:16,882 --> 00:13:19,738
Uh, may I? I am Nikolai Shostakich,
the royal astronomer.

243
00:13:19,738 --> 00:13:21,099
I have a royal astronomer?

244
00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:22,536
You hired me in the big science hire

245
00:13:22,546 --> 00:13:24,451
at the start of your reign, remember?

246
00:13:24,451 --> 00:13:26,245
Seems so long ago.

247
00:13:26,368 --> 00:13:28,971
Yes. We have never met.

248
00:13:28,982 --> 00:13:30,190
I will talk fast and to the point,

249
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,292
in case I am to be ejected by guards,

250
00:13:32,292 --> 00:13:34,027
as, uh, sometimes happens to me for a

251
00:13:34,037 --> 00:13:35,796
variety of reasons not worth going into.

252
00:13:35,796 --> 00:13:38,048
There is a comet coming.

253
00:13:39,030 --> 00:13:42,094
A comet is a, uh, disturbance.

254
00:13:42,094 --> 00:13:47,015
A hole that tears in the sky, leaving
a, a stream of light behind it.

255
00:13:47,015 --> 00:13:49,628
Beyond the moon, a form of
dust and ice compact together

256
00:13:49,661 --> 00:13:52,385
to make a, a, uh, ball!

257
00:13:52,396 --> 00:13:54,398
Uh, no, not a ball. A, a, a fist!

258
00:13:54,398 --> 00:13:57,326
A fist of power and light that shoots

259
00:13:57,336 --> 00:13:59,987
through the solar
system and passes us by.

260
00:13:59,987 --> 00:14:03,782
Every fucking 75 years,
this comet, the same one,

261
00:14:03,782 --> 00:14:06,869
swings round and races through
the sky again, on a loop.

262
00:14:06,869 --> 00:14:09,538
And it's the only one, the only
one we can see without a telescope,

263
00:14:09,538 --> 00:14:12,332
and it passes by the Earth
just enough so we can see it.

264
00:14:12,332 --> 00:14:16,425
And in a few days, it passes
over... wait for it... Russia!

265
00:14:16,817 --> 00:14:19,027
- Amazing.
- Yeah! And an opportunity.

266
00:14:19,038 --> 00:14:22,176
I suddenly thought...
w... thought last night.

267
00:14:22,176 --> 00:14:24,261
Should've thought earlier.

268
00:14:24,261 --> 00:14:25,888
"I could kick you, Nikolai!"

269
00:14:25,888 --> 00:14:27,603
- Loving this day.
- Fascinating.

270
00:14:27,614 --> 00:14:29,074
But I digress.

271
00:14:29,123 --> 00:14:33,937
The people have always viewed the
heavens as just that, God's domain.

272
00:14:33,937 --> 00:14:35,272
The unknowable. A mystery.

273
00:14:35,272 --> 00:14:38,359
And the Church have
used that fear and awe.

274
00:14:38,359 --> 00:14:42,988
But if we tell the people in
advance, send charts and telescopes,

275
00:14:42,988 --> 00:14:48,369
and show that by way of science
and reason the heavens are knowable!

276
00:14:48,369 --> 00:14:52,289
Man and woman can know them,
track them, and explain them!

277
00:14:52,289 --> 00:14:54,750
And also maybe send up
a balloon with cannons

278
00:14:54,750 --> 00:14:56,418
and just blow it out of the sky!

279
00:14:56,771 --> 00:14:58,565
Or at least change its orbit.

280
00:15:00,047 --> 00:15:03,509
No, forget that last part, as it's
possibly not true, and unfeasible,

281
00:15:03,509 --> 00:15:04,927
and I shouldn't have said it.

282
00:15:04,927 --> 00:15:06,261
I even said to myself walking here,

283
00:15:06,261 --> 00:15:08,397
"Don't say the balloon
cannon thing, Nikolai."

284
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:09,638
But couldn't help yourself?

285
00:15:09,649 --> 00:15:11,442
Exactly. So...

286
00:15:11,453 --> 00:15:14,540
can we do this? Can we...

287
00:15:17,015 --> 00:15:18,797
- What?
- Clear breach of security,

288
00:15:18,807 --> 00:15:20,696
leading to a clear breach in his skull.

289
00:15:20,707 --> 00:15:23,167
No! Fuck!

290
00:15:27,352 --> 00:15:29,025
- You!
- Shit.

291
00:15:30,994 --> 00:15:33,176
- A duel, sir.
- What is going on?

292
00:15:33,187 --> 00:15:35,416
- Private matter.
- Uh, dueling's illegal, is that right?

293
00:15:35,416 --> 00:15:36,625
Yes, it is!

294
00:15:36,625 --> 00:15:38,165
And who fucking shot Pugachev?

295
00:15:38,176 --> 00:15:40,376
We're dueling! Greatest
respect, Empress.

296
00:15:40,387 --> 00:15:42,111
Even though the statement
seemed not to contain any.

297
00:15:42,122 --> 00:15:43,444
Who shot him, I said?

298
00:15:43,455 --> 00:15:45,217
- Maxim has claimed credit.
- What?

299
00:15:45,228 --> 00:15:46,927
I will beat him like a drum that bleeds.

300
00:15:46,927 --> 00:15:48,454
Empress, we are agreed, the comet?

301
00:15:48,465 --> 00:15:50,222
There's a comet coming?

302
00:15:50,446 --> 00:15:53,267
- I, I should probably go.
- What's the "probably" part?

303
00:15:53,267 --> 00:15:54,768
See you on the field.

304
00:15:55,565 --> 00:15:56,786
Who shot him?

305
00:15:56,797 --> 00:15:58,704
- What happened?
- I had a plan.

306
00:15:58,715 --> 00:16:01,676
Maxim. And now we need a new plan.

307
00:16:03,249 --> 00:16:04,709
I just heard.

308
00:16:07,020 --> 00:16:09,481
Shit! What do we do now?

309
00:16:10,781 --> 00:16:13,120
To think I once rode him

310
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,416
and he uttered desperately
foul oaths in my ear as I came.

311
00:16:17,416 --> 00:16:19,334
Uh, from memory, it was something like,

312
00:16:19,503 --> 00:16:22,838
"I'll rip open your
ribcage with my bare hands

313
00:16:22,838 --> 00:16:24,631
"and fuck you in your windpipe

314
00:16:24,631 --> 00:16:27,926
as I give your foie
gras liver a hand job."

315
00:16:27,926 --> 00:16:30,554
I mean, out of context,
bizarre, and yet, in the moment,

316
00:16:30,554 --> 00:16:33,014
I mean, I came like a sudden blizzard.

317
00:16:33,358 --> 00:16:35,019
But enough reminiscing.

318
00:16:35,030 --> 00:16:36,793
Let's focus on "what now."

319
00:16:36,804 --> 00:16:38,639
We're in a very dangerous place.

320
00:16:43,589 --> 00:16:45,257
Catherine?

321
00:16:46,246 --> 00:16:49,479
So I guess the surrender
tour as Pugachev is done with.

322
00:16:49,668 --> 00:16:52,320
He's dead. It's over now, isn't it?

323
00:16:52,331 --> 00:16:54,495
No! Quite the opposite.

324
00:16:54,495 --> 00:16:57,122
You've thousands massed
and a vacuum at the top.

325
00:16:57,122 --> 00:16:59,500
One group massed
behind one man, easy to fight.

326
00:16:59,734 --> 00:17:02,169
They splinter into
disparate random groups,

327
00:17:02,169 --> 00:17:04,463
you're fighting chaos,
or, or someone else rises.

328
00:17:04,463 --> 00:17:06,090
That's very pessimistic, Petrov.

329
00:17:06,090 --> 00:17:07,424
And yet accurate.

330
00:17:07,424 --> 00:17:09,968
We need to decide what
to do before they do.

331
00:17:10,202 --> 00:17:12,388
Even word of his death will
light a wick on something.

332
00:17:12,388 --> 00:17:15,265
They don't know he's dead at this
point. That gives us the upper hand.

333
00:17:15,265 --> 00:17:18,279
My opinion, we need to mass
troops, bring the body...

334
00:17:18,290 --> 00:17:20,604
Interesting. Empress,
you need to own his death.

335
00:17:20,604 --> 00:17:21,814
He being Peter the Third.

336
00:17:21,814 --> 00:17:23,982
You need to come out
and say you killed Peter.

337
00:17:23,982 --> 00:17:25,570
Ideally with the body, and then

338
00:17:25,580 --> 00:17:26,985
probably say something
along the lines of,

339
00:17:26,985 --> 00:17:29,154
"Peter is vanquished by my own hand."

340
00:17:29,154 --> 00:17:30,989
And then just let it rain cannonballs.

341
00:17:30,989 --> 00:17:34,493
And then you've taken it out, you've
also ended Peter the Great's line,

342
00:17:34,493 --> 00:17:35,786
and now you have the country.

343
00:17:35,786 --> 00:17:39,123
Ended Peter the Great's line? How
dare you, Archie! There is Paul!

344
00:17:39,123 --> 00:17:41,250
Is there? Hasn't been
at the buffet lately.

345
00:17:41,250 --> 00:17:42,668
We're not doing any of that!

346
00:17:42,668 --> 00:17:45,796
Then what are we doing? Because
we fucking need to do something.

347
00:17:45,922 --> 00:17:47,642
Fuck! Fuck!

348
00:17:47,653 --> 00:17:49,366
This place!

349
00:17:49,675 --> 00:17:51,009
Catherine!

350
00:17:53,095 --> 00:17:56,117
Hmm, I call that inconclusive.

351
00:17:56,128 --> 00:17:58,225
I call it a petulant response

352
00:17:58,225 --> 00:18:01,854
to a massive challenge that brings
into question her competency.

353
00:18:01,894 --> 00:18:04,021
And I call that treason.

354
00:18:04,108 --> 00:18:06,652
But do you call it inaccurate?

355
00:18:06,737 --> 00:18:09,782
No, didn't think so.

356
00:18:11,113 --> 00:18:15,576
We need to hold our
nerve and hold together!

357
00:18:15,576 --> 00:18:17,077
Yeah!

358
00:18:17,077 --> 00:18:21,247
He will be back. And not only
that, I can tell you this!

359
00:18:21,258 --> 00:18:25,627
We will retake the palace and
restore Peter as the head of Russia!

360
00:18:28,005 --> 00:18:30,007
Huzzah!

361
00:18:42,048 --> 00:18:43,425
You're waiting for him.

362
00:18:43,490 --> 00:18:45,064
Fucking hell, Tatyana.

363
00:18:45,064 --> 00:18:47,608
He told me he wanted to
rip the dress from my body,

364
00:18:47,608 --> 00:18:49,818
but we left in a hurry, so
I don't have many dresses.

365
00:18:49,818 --> 00:18:51,028
I thought this was easier.

366
00:18:51,028 --> 00:18:54,156
Well, he hasn't come back, so
stand down and put some clothes on.

367
00:18:54,338 --> 00:18:56,057
I don't know where he is, but that hall

368
00:18:56,067 --> 00:18:58,410
is full of maniacs who are ready to go.

369
00:18:58,501 --> 00:18:59,723
Where is he?

370
00:18:59,734 --> 00:19:02,253
- With someone else, probably.
- Hurtful.

371
00:19:02,264 --> 00:19:05,394
You lying here naked for
another man, however, is fine.

372
00:19:05,405 --> 00:19:09,659
We always said we'd let each other
evolve as we needed to as humans.

373
00:19:09,779 --> 00:19:11,041
Or would you like our marriage to

374
00:19:11,052 --> 00:19:13,033
literally choke off our personal growth?

375
00:19:13,044 --> 00:19:14,483
Seems a difficult either/or.

376
00:19:14,494 --> 00:19:16,044
You need to keep those madmen out

377
00:19:16,054 --> 00:19:18,218
there under control until he gets back.

378
00:19:18,229 --> 00:19:19,931
They do keep looking at me like,

379
00:19:19,942 --> 00:19:22,017
"You're his best
friend, you should know."

380
00:19:22,017 --> 00:19:23,602
People are riled up.

381
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:27,178
You just gonna lay here?

382
00:19:27,189 --> 00:19:29,108
He's got to come back at some point.

383
00:19:30,345 --> 00:19:32,722
- Want anything?
- Oh, I could use an apple.

384
00:19:51,447 --> 00:19:52,543
Hi. Sorry.

385
00:19:52,554 --> 00:19:54,299
Uh, inappropriate entry
to your private quarters,

386
00:19:54,299 --> 00:19:55,592
uh, but we have some time issues.

387
00:19:55,592 --> 00:19:57,753
Uh, the comet, may I do it?

388
00:19:57,764 --> 00:19:59,036
A brilliant idea

389
00:19:59,047 --> 00:20:03,142
and a good distraction for
the country from your troubles.

390
00:20:03,217 --> 00:20:04,309
Also, sorry about the duel.

391
00:20:04,309 --> 00:20:06,717
I know it's illegal,
but I'm kind of in it.

392
00:20:06,728 --> 00:20:09,564
My power over my own
court is clearly waning.

393
00:20:10,750 --> 00:20:12,877
You slept with Petrov's fiancée?

394
00:20:12,888 --> 00:20:15,057
I have this thing that
happens to me and women

395
00:20:15,068 --> 00:20:17,153
when I talk to them
and we end up fucking.

396
00:20:18,442 --> 00:20:20,909
I feel exactly the same way about it.

397
00:20:20,909 --> 00:20:23,823
It is laughable, not how
I see myself, and yet...

398
00:20:23,834 --> 00:20:26,170
You are an accidental womanizer.

399
00:20:26,564 --> 00:20:28,274
That's a good way of putting it.

400
00:20:29,836 --> 00:20:31,671
What's it like to run Russia?

401
00:20:32,271 --> 00:20:33,438
I mean, that's crazy.

402
00:20:33,449 --> 00:20:36,508
I run an office with three
people and it is a wrangling

403
00:20:36,508 --> 00:20:39,389
of drunk, insane cats who spit poison

404
00:20:39,399 --> 00:20:42,230
and speak in whiny hieroglyphic codes.

405
00:20:42,443 --> 00:20:47,352
Not that we're not doing a great
job, we are, so don't cut our funding,

406
00:20:47,502 --> 00:20:49,730
but it's just... complicated.

407
00:20:49,730 --> 00:20:51,565
These humans... "I
don't get paid enough!"

408
00:20:51,587 --> 00:20:54,215
"There are no biscuits!"Why's
Anatole get the window with sun?"

409
00:20:54,226 --> 00:20:56,103
Russia must be...

410
00:20:57,026 --> 00:21:00,143
I digress. Bad habit,
along with overreach.

411
00:21:00,154 --> 00:21:04,036
But an office with 80
million humans. Insane.

412
00:21:04,161 --> 00:21:05,412
Your head must explode.

413
00:21:05,423 --> 00:21:08,468
My head, my heart, everything has.

414
00:21:08,697 --> 00:21:10,157
How do you do it?

415
00:21:12,694 --> 00:21:14,237
I'll tell you a secret.

416
00:21:16,598 --> 00:21:17,664
I don't know.

417
00:21:19,176 --> 00:21:21,970
I try to be mean, be nice,
be friends, be a tyrant.

418
00:21:21,970 --> 00:21:23,430
Still, everyone's at me.

419
00:21:23,430 --> 00:21:25,724
Probably why I spend all
my time looking at the sky.

420
00:21:29,504 --> 00:21:32,006
It's happening, as you said.

421
00:21:32,017 --> 00:21:33,310
What?

422
00:21:35,926 --> 00:21:37,052
Fuck me.

423
00:21:37,783 --> 00:21:38,898
What?

424
00:21:38,909 --> 00:21:40,739
- You heard.
- I did, I just...

425
00:21:40,739 --> 00:21:42,408
Want to hear it again?

426
00:21:42,408 --> 00:21:44,118
I-I'd love to hear it again.

427
00:21:44,585 --> 00:21:47,480
Walk over here, pin me to the wall,

428
00:21:47,491 --> 00:21:49,159
lift up my skirt, and fuck me.

429
00:21:49,752 --> 00:21:51,337
On my way.

430
00:22:09,163 --> 00:22:10,915
Huzzah!

431
00:22:11,395 --> 00:22:14,569
Stop doing that! Walking in on me!

432
00:22:14,580 --> 00:22:18,167
On us! On Peter and me to
see if we would make a baby!

433
00:22:19,706 --> 00:22:21,124
You can go, young man.

434
00:22:22,823 --> 00:22:25,325
The Empress, assuming no lemon top,

435
00:22:25,325 --> 00:22:28,203
needs a douche bath of nettle
and snake venom immediately.

436
00:22:32,655 --> 00:22:36,336
I walk in unannounced as it is the
best way to see where people are,

437
00:22:36,336 --> 00:22:38,005
to catch them as they are.

438
00:22:38,005 --> 00:22:42,509
Like seeing a squirrel startled
suddenly as it sucks on a nut.

439
00:22:42,543 --> 00:22:43,938
And whilst it is,

440
00:22:43,949 --> 00:22:47,056
on a personal level, thrilling
to see you back fucking,

441
00:22:47,056 --> 00:22:49,857
on a "we're mired in a national crisis,"

442
00:22:49,867 --> 00:22:52,269
I do begin to question your priorities.

443
00:22:52,269 --> 00:22:54,224
Maybe start fucking people after you

444
00:22:54,234 --> 00:22:55,731
save the country from the uprising.

445
00:22:55,731 --> 00:22:58,317
I had saved it and solved it!

446
00:22:58,317 --> 00:22:59,943
Peter's name, everything!

447
00:22:59,943 --> 00:23:01,320
And things changed.

448
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,198
And I will work out what to do alone!

449
00:23:04,548 --> 00:23:06,367
- When?
- Stop talking to me.

450
00:23:06,367 --> 00:23:07,910
When I know what to do, that's when!

451
00:23:07,910 --> 00:23:10,662
Not good enough. Enough
tears and weakness.

452
00:23:10,662 --> 00:23:13,165
No, not enough, because
if you wring me wet,

453
00:23:13,165 --> 00:23:15,501
nothing will come out
but tears and weakness.

454
00:23:20,556 --> 00:23:22,192
It is just grief.

455
00:23:22,203 --> 00:23:24,684
Can you just go?

456
00:23:24,695 --> 00:23:26,447
No, I can't.

457
00:23:27,222 --> 00:23:28,557
- Elizabeth!
- Catherine.

458
00:23:28,568 --> 00:23:29,995
- Guards!
- Guards!

459
00:23:32,513 --> 00:23:33,560
Remove her!

460
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,690
Dimitri and Alexei, you touch me
now, you will never touch me again.

461
00:23:41,402 --> 00:23:42,498
Oh, my God.

462
00:23:42,509 --> 00:23:45,248
You may go, but later...

463
00:23:51,871 --> 00:23:53,622
I have no grip on anyone.

464
00:23:54,998 --> 00:23:57,258
My own head of the army
is doing an illegal duel,

465
00:23:57,291 --> 00:23:58,866
oblivious to my wishes.

466
00:23:58,943 --> 00:24:01,946
They are burning effigies
all over the country.

467
00:24:01,986 --> 00:24:05,198
My name inspires hate, not change.

468
00:24:06,219 --> 00:24:08,888
And I am rotten with
grief throughout my being.

469
00:24:10,814 --> 00:24:12,524
And I am becoming sure...

470
00:24:13,684 --> 00:24:16,478
that I have told myself, and others,

471
00:24:16,724 --> 00:24:19,060
a delusional story that has...

472
00:24:19,954 --> 00:24:21,831
brought Russia to its knees.

473
00:24:22,985 --> 00:24:25,154
I know it feels like you are broken.

474
00:24:26,892 --> 00:24:28,101
I am broken.

475
00:24:28,724 --> 00:24:30,351
Not all the way through.

476
00:24:30,709 --> 00:24:32,684
You just fucked a boy against a wall.

477
00:24:32,695 --> 00:24:34,155
That was strange.

478
00:24:34,286 --> 00:24:36,582
Suddenly, I just thought,
"I want to fuck him."

479
00:24:37,025 --> 00:24:38,125
Nothing else.

480
00:24:38,125 --> 00:24:40,377
I was just present and wanted fucking.

481
00:24:42,671 --> 00:24:44,798
Oh, no. Now I feel terrible.

482
00:24:44,884 --> 00:24:46,719
Like you took a step away from Peter?

483
00:24:46,753 --> 00:24:48,380
Yes, and I don't want to.

484
00:24:48,453 --> 00:24:49,829
You need to.

485
00:24:50,013 --> 00:24:51,096
And if I can't?

486
00:24:51,096 --> 00:24:54,850
I know you're in pain and clouds
of confusion fill your head,

487
00:24:54,923 --> 00:24:57,008
but you now need to stand up.

488
00:24:59,834 --> 00:25:01,002
Or?

489
00:25:01,669 --> 00:25:03,379
You know the "or."

490
00:25:07,129 --> 00:25:08,547
Someone else will.

491
00:25:09,695 --> 00:25:11,113
You?

492
00:25:12,427 --> 00:25:14,429
Yes. Me.

493
00:25:15,391 --> 00:25:18,436
Perhaps it is as you said,
my destiny and not yours.

494
00:25:19,270 --> 00:25:22,106
Perhaps you weren't it. I was wrong.

495
00:25:22,106 --> 00:25:25,527
I am it, and you were merely
a pretty stepping stone

496
00:25:25,527 --> 00:25:27,445
for me to wake up and see that.

497
00:25:28,488 --> 00:25:29,822
Jesus.

498
00:25:29,822 --> 00:25:32,867
Because the world burns
a person down many times

499
00:25:33,618 --> 00:25:36,871
and you shake off the ashes
and you walk into the next fire

500
00:25:36,871 --> 00:25:40,500
knowing that the fire never
gets to the core of you.

501
00:25:42,085 --> 00:25:46,256
That is me, and that
is who is needed now.

502
00:25:48,669 --> 00:25:51,339
Tomorrow, if I sit down in
that seat, I don't get up.

503
00:25:52,308 --> 00:25:53,642
For anyone.

504
00:25:57,386 --> 00:25:58,804
I love you.

505
00:26:01,004 --> 00:26:02,172
And I you.

506
00:26:19,247 --> 00:26:20,623
Where is she?

507
00:26:20,623 --> 00:26:22,394
Weren't you going to
follow her to Grigor?

508
00:26:22,405 --> 00:26:25,044
I might've made a small misjudgment.

509
00:26:25,044 --> 00:26:27,672
Or not. We'll see how it plays out.

510
00:26:27,672 --> 00:26:31,467
I'm hoping the idea sets in her
head and she sees she needs us.

511
00:26:31,467 --> 00:26:32,886
You decided something without me?

512
00:26:32,886 --> 00:26:34,971
I added Georgina to the plan.

513
00:26:34,971 --> 00:26:37,974
A disappointing and, I
suspect, idiotic betrayal.

514
00:26:37,974 --> 00:26:40,351
Let's assume George gets the baby, hmm?

515
00:26:40,351 --> 00:26:41,811
And realizes we're the next step.

516
00:26:42,413 --> 00:26:46,489
Well, let's have the next step
after the next step's ready.

517
00:26:47,645 --> 00:26:48,646
Mm.

518
00:26:53,433 --> 00:26:55,477
I knew you'd come here.

519
00:26:55,488 --> 00:26:58,324
The three of us always came
here. No one can find you.

520
00:27:01,110 --> 00:27:02,278
Where's Paul?

521
00:27:03,921 --> 00:27:05,672
Grigor!

522
00:27:05,719 --> 00:27:07,721
Safest place. No one looks up.

523
00:27:07,828 --> 00:27:09,205
Get him down.

524
00:27:12,780 --> 00:27:16,001
The birds have been a
hassle, and there was a bear.

525
00:27:16,012 --> 00:27:17,722
- A bear?
- Furry.

526
00:27:17,722 --> 00:27:21,226
He said "furry" after we
shot the bear. What a kid. Eh!

527
00:27:24,578 --> 00:27:27,123
Hey. Ooh.

528
00:27:29,817 --> 00:27:31,528
Squirrel coats. Matching.

529
00:27:31,681 --> 00:27:32,973
Are you mad?

530
00:27:33,754 --> 00:27:35,131
You clearly are.

531
00:27:35,488 --> 00:27:36,491
It's fine.

532
00:27:36,491 --> 00:27:39,077
I'm here to look after
you, as always, my darling.

533
00:27:39,077 --> 00:27:40,119
Let's take him back.

534
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,414
He is not safe in court. They're
coming for him and all of us.

535
00:27:43,414 --> 00:27:47,001
He's not safe here either in a
fucking box in a tree, Grigor.

536
00:27:48,419 --> 00:27:50,129
We can do this together.

537
00:27:50,129 --> 00:27:51,381
We always wanted a child.

538
00:27:51,381 --> 00:27:53,299
- No, we didn't.
- We said it would distract us from Peter.

539
00:27:53,299 --> 00:27:54,717
It would re-energize our marriage.

540
00:27:54,717 --> 00:27:56,469
- I love Marial.
- You don't!

541
00:27:56,469 --> 00:27:58,304
And it's very annoying
that you keep saying it!

542
00:27:58,304 --> 00:27:59,597
I do. I...

543
00:27:59,597 --> 00:28:02,350
She hates Peter, so
it's hard and confusing,

544
00:28:02,350 --> 00:28:05,812
because I feel pain at her
absence in my ribcage area.

545
00:28:06,105 --> 00:28:08,691
My head cries much at the loss of her.

546
00:28:09,393 --> 00:28:12,146
And then Peter...

547
00:28:13,798 --> 00:28:15,341
I can't even feel anything.

548
00:28:17,173 --> 00:28:19,425
But... "Paul is all."

549
00:28:19,615 --> 00:28:22,442
That's my new motto. We say
it all the time, don't we Paul?

550
00:28:22,453 --> 00:28:25,582
- Paul is all!
- I agree. Paul is all.

551
00:28:25,582 --> 00:28:29,502
He should be emperor,
and... we can make it so.

552
00:28:30,170 --> 00:28:31,921
- What?
- I'm good at this.

553
00:28:31,921 --> 00:28:33,089
At what? I'm, I'm not following.

554
00:28:33,089 --> 00:28:34,591
Politics.

555
00:28:34,591 --> 00:28:37,719
I think by pretending to
change, I actually did.

556
00:28:38,324 --> 00:28:40,430
If this goes the way it's clearly going,

557
00:28:41,069 --> 00:28:43,039
we might need a new leader behind Paul.

558
00:28:44,767 --> 00:28:45,977
And that's you?

559
00:28:46,793 --> 00:28:48,667
What the fuck?

560
00:28:48,678 --> 00:28:50,221
You?

561
00:28:50,999 --> 00:28:52,000
Why not me?

562
00:28:52,993 --> 00:28:54,119
You're not them.

563
00:28:54,130 --> 00:28:55,590
They're not them.

564
00:28:55,699 --> 00:28:58,702
No one's fucking them until
they decide they're fucking them.

565
00:29:00,578 --> 00:29:03,581
This country can be
changed for the better.

566
00:29:03,815 --> 00:29:05,580
For Peter.

567
00:29:05,672 --> 00:29:08,883
For our dearest friend
to keep his line alive.

568
00:29:09,719 --> 00:29:11,888
I'm not helping you
kill her. He loved her.

569
00:29:11,899 --> 00:29:14,193
He loved us, too. For longer.

570
00:29:16,132 --> 00:29:17,258
Do it for him.

571
00:29:20,910 --> 00:29:22,162
Huh.

572
00:29:38,349 --> 00:29:39,558
Hey.

573
00:29:39,572 --> 00:29:41,157
She's fine, Paul.

574
00:29:41,344 --> 00:29:44,160
See? Look at her up-and-down chest.

575
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,745
That's called breathing.

576
00:29:46,829 --> 00:29:51,709
But always be listening for
footsteps behind you in the forest.

577
00:29:58,341 --> 00:30:00,552
Oh-ho-ho-ho.

578
00:30:00,552 --> 00:30:02,887
I remember these.

579
00:30:02,887 --> 00:30:04,556
We did all of them, didn't we?

580
00:30:05,348 --> 00:30:07,016
That one.

581
00:30:07,016 --> 00:30:09,644
The wheelbarrow with fruit!

582
00:30:09,677 --> 00:30:11,084
Mm!

583
00:30:11,366 --> 00:30:12,814
I loved it.

584
00:30:12,814 --> 00:30:15,108
You handsome savage.

585
00:30:15,108 --> 00:30:17,318
You delectable, sexual hooligan.

586
00:30:19,875 --> 00:30:22,919
You look unsure. You
know I can't stand that.

587
00:30:22,930 --> 00:30:24,390
I'm pondering.

588
00:30:24,401 --> 00:30:26,820
Not you, you're all instinct. Kill her!

589
00:30:26,911 --> 00:30:29,289
Impale her on a large pole
and ride her round Moscow.

590
00:30:29,289 --> 00:30:32,750
Take this fucking
place, Paul on your knee.

591
00:30:32,750 --> 00:30:36,546
I seem to recall that
you looked into my dying

592
00:30:36,546 --> 00:30:39,047
but beautiful-as-the-deep-blue-sea eyes

593
00:30:39,057 --> 00:30:42,343
and promised to protect my line.

594
00:30:42,343 --> 00:30:44,804
Things change. I have evolved.

595
00:30:44,804 --> 00:30:46,222
Our love is eternal.

596
00:30:46,222 --> 00:30:48,766
You're dead, everything's
eternal for you.

597
00:30:49,193 --> 00:30:51,695
- I love her.
- You love me more.

598
00:30:55,190 --> 00:30:57,025
Uh...

599
00:30:57,025 --> 00:30:58,568
Now you're needling me!

600
00:30:58,568 --> 00:30:59,819
I remember it.

601
00:30:59,819 --> 00:31:02,739
Then torrid sex ensues.

602
00:31:02,739 --> 00:31:05,033
Just remove her

603
00:31:05,033 --> 00:31:06,951
before you're trampled
into black-and-blue paste

604
00:31:06,951 --> 00:31:08,828
by rampaging ex-Cossacks,

605
00:31:08,828 --> 00:31:12,790
cross-eyed with liquor,
buzzing with rage,

606
00:31:12,790 --> 00:31:16,408
and with a need to feel blood spray
in their eyes to make them happy.

607
00:31:16,538 --> 00:31:17,629
Jesus.

608
00:31:17,629 --> 00:31:22,342
I know, powerful word pictures
that can transform moments.

609
00:31:22,342 --> 00:31:24,177
One of my many gifts, you'll recall.

610
00:31:24,761 --> 00:31:25,970
I do.

611
00:31:26,846 --> 00:31:29,474
And having no empathy for anyone.

612
00:31:29,474 --> 00:31:31,518
Another gift. Like you were with Peter.

613
00:31:31,518 --> 00:31:34,604
Oh, who drowns on their fucking horse?

614
00:31:34,604 --> 00:31:36,147
That kid.

615
00:31:36,313 --> 00:31:38,440
You heartless monster.

616
00:31:38,553 --> 00:31:40,944
Mm, you sassy enchantress.

617
00:31:40,944 --> 00:31:43,930
I'm not doing that. I'm calling
you a fucking heartless monster.

618
00:31:43,941 --> 00:31:45,234
Oh.

619
00:31:46,342 --> 00:31:48,511
You know you have to take the throne.

620
00:31:48,977 --> 00:31:50,979
Or you'll fucking die
and lose everything.

621
00:31:50,990 --> 00:31:52,200
Shh!

622
00:31:52,282 --> 00:31:56,100
Did you just shush Peter the Great?

623
00:31:58,685 --> 00:32:00,771
You're not choosing her.

624
00:32:02,131 --> 00:32:04,425
Maybe I'm choosing something else.

625
00:32:04,782 --> 00:32:07,303
What I want instead of what you want.

626
00:32:07,303 --> 00:32:11,766
Hmm, you contrary,
argumentative strumpet.

627
00:32:11,766 --> 00:32:15,395
You deaf, blind oaf.

628
00:32:15,671 --> 00:32:18,544
God, I could tear all your
clothes off with my teeth.

629
00:32:20,455 --> 00:32:22,081
Except you can't.

630
00:32:22,939 --> 00:32:24,273
You can just...

631
00:32:26,030 --> 00:32:27,323
go.

632
00:32:27,323 --> 00:32:28,408
Oh.

633
00:32:30,535 --> 00:32:33,246
This duel. I probably shouldn't do it.

634
00:32:33,385 --> 00:32:36,263
Undermines the empress
at this delicate point.

635
00:32:36,423 --> 00:32:38,858
She seems like a drunk
on the end of a jetty.

636
00:32:38,869 --> 00:32:42,522
As humans sometimes are when they
have their hearts crushed by fate.

637
00:32:42,533 --> 00:32:44,285
Hmm. I'll call it off.

638
00:32:44,772 --> 00:32:47,858
No. Do it.

639
00:32:48,052 --> 00:32:50,221
She must stand up and lead...

640
00:32:51,697 --> 00:32:53,991
or not, if she can't.

641
00:32:55,668 --> 00:32:57,770
It's a bit like when I was a boy.

642
00:32:57,781 --> 00:32:59,496
Had all these apples,

643
00:32:59,507 --> 00:33:02,873
and I wouldn't give 'em away,
or eat them, or make cider.

644
00:33:02,884 --> 00:33:06,847
For the life of me, I couldn't
decide, and then they just rotted,

645
00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:09,362
and I looked like the
fucking idiot I was.

646
00:33:11,232 --> 00:33:15,319
I think it's more like a
young woman lost at sea,

647
00:33:15,563 --> 00:33:17,207
throwing up into the ocean

648
00:33:17,207 --> 00:33:21,112
due to prevailing
winds and insect bites,

649
00:33:21,774 --> 00:33:25,069
hoping some friendly
sharks will guide her home.

650
00:33:26,174 --> 00:33:29,928
She must find her compass, but
she's been blinded by a raven.

651
00:33:31,215 --> 00:33:36,762
And if she eventually falls in,
the sharks will just have to...

652
00:33:37,934 --> 00:33:39,394
Be sharks?

653
00:33:39,884 --> 00:33:40,968
Yes.

654
00:33:42,857 --> 00:33:45,401
And the army and I will need
to be marching in figure eights

655
00:33:45,401 --> 00:33:47,237
and hexagons as one.

656
00:33:48,613 --> 00:33:51,699
Right. Got it.

657
00:33:58,122 --> 00:34:01,084
Hi. Sorry, but it's a bit urgent.

658
00:34:01,524 --> 00:34:04,254
- Hugo, what're you do...
- You know what I smell out there?

659
00:34:04,254 --> 00:34:06,589
I smell what I smelt in Sweden.

660
00:34:07,715 --> 00:34:09,259
Implosion.

661
00:34:12,212 --> 00:34:15,590
And I do feel bad about
Peter and stealing the army.

662
00:34:16,057 --> 00:34:17,976
And as you're about to be
gargling on your own blood,

663
00:34:17,976 --> 00:34:19,519
I thought I'd give you some advice.

664
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,230
You need to run.

665
00:34:24,835 --> 00:34:26,317
I can't run.

666
00:34:26,317 --> 00:34:27,901
That's what I thought.

667
00:34:27,912 --> 00:34:31,906
Out of some misguided sense
of obligation, destiny.

668
00:34:31,906 --> 00:34:34,761
"It's my favorite desk,
I don't wanna leave it."

669
00:34:35,034 --> 00:34:38,037
But Paris, Rome.

670
00:34:38,037 --> 00:34:41,622
You tell me ex-kings and queens
aren't gonna be fêted there.

671
00:34:41,633 --> 00:34:43,843
And the food, and the art.

672
00:34:44,925 --> 00:34:46,676
I see a new life.

673
00:34:48,089 --> 00:34:50,685
We'll have a carriage ready
at 9:00 in the courtyard.

674
00:34:50,696 --> 00:34:51,976
Get Paul,

675
00:34:52,303 --> 00:34:56,302
or tell me where he is and I'll
get him, we get in, and we go.

676
00:34:57,475 --> 00:34:59,144
I'll leave that with you.

677
00:35:03,229 --> 00:35:07,025
Make the right decision,
or don't and die.

678
00:35:28,129 --> 00:35:30,016
Die, bitch!

679
00:35:58,158 --> 00:35:59,619
Grigor.

680
00:35:59,619 --> 00:36:01,079
What are you doing?

681
00:36:01,343 --> 00:36:02,592
You're a sight.

682
00:36:02,603 --> 00:36:04,874
A sight I need in my eyes.

683
00:36:04,874 --> 00:36:06,334
What do you want?

684
00:36:06,334 --> 00:36:09,295
Other than clearly, and
also logically, my body.

685
00:36:09,628 --> 00:36:10,796
Marry me.

686
00:36:12,215 --> 00:36:16,010
But... you hated me, as I hate Peter.

687
00:36:16,010 --> 00:36:17,929
Know that I, I always will.

688
00:36:17,929 --> 00:36:19,848
I do know. But I need you.

689
00:36:20,426 --> 00:36:22,553
In the forest, so quiet,

690
00:36:23,096 --> 00:36:25,478
I felt this empty space in me,

691
00:36:25,478 --> 00:36:27,856
the sounds of the forest
reverberating through it,

692
00:36:27,856 --> 00:36:30,567
bears and birds and bees,

693
00:36:30,567 --> 00:36:33,528
and you are what I need in that space.

694
00:36:33,686 --> 00:36:35,071
You're the piece I miss.

695
00:36:35,071 --> 00:36:36,114
Right.

696
00:36:38,178 --> 00:36:40,298
- Really?
- I want a new life.

697
00:36:40,309 --> 00:36:41,602
You and me.

698
00:36:41,786 --> 00:36:42,996
I want a new life, too.

699
00:36:42,996 --> 00:36:44,122
Great!

700
00:36:45,197 --> 00:36:47,783
We go to my estate, we hole
up there, we put in defenses,

701
00:36:47,794 --> 00:36:50,069
and we just be together.

702
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,838
You, me, and Paul.

703
00:36:51,838 --> 00:36:53,141
Oh, what do you mean Paul?

704
00:36:53,152 --> 00:36:56,024
Uh, I have to bring him up,
for Peter. I realize that now.

705
00:36:56,035 --> 00:36:58,595
We can do it together.
Maybe have our own kids.

706
00:36:58,595 --> 00:36:59,929
Be good for him to have a brother.

707
00:36:59,929 --> 00:37:02,390
I'm not bringing up his
fucking son! Are you mad?

708
00:37:02,390 --> 00:37:05,059
I know you hate him,
but that's actually good.

709
00:37:05,059 --> 00:37:07,854
Paul will learn the
complexity of human life.

710
00:37:07,854 --> 00:37:10,231
And we will raise him
to take back his throne.

711
00:37:11,564 --> 00:37:14,819
Or not. Peter didn't want that,
so maybe we'll let that play out.

712
00:37:14,819 --> 00:37:15,971
Don't have to decide now.

713
00:37:15,982 --> 00:37:17,942
Marial, get dressed. We should go.

714
00:37:19,146 --> 00:37:20,954
I could do with a bath, actually.

715
00:37:20,965 --> 00:37:23,509
My teeth are fucking
blueberry fuzz as well.

716
00:37:30,987 --> 00:37:32,405
Fuck.

717
00:37:32,592 --> 00:37:34,511
You sad man.

718
00:37:34,775 --> 00:37:36,861
You beautiful, sad man.

719
00:37:39,165 --> 00:37:40,959
Why is Grigor in my bath?

720
00:37:41,318 --> 00:37:43,684
I thought this sick liaison was done.

721
00:37:44,165 --> 00:37:46,423
Hi, Maxim. Just resting a minute.

722
00:37:46,434 --> 00:37:49,646
- You're rending my garments!
- You fucking killed Pugachev!

723
00:37:49,646 --> 00:37:53,274
Now all hell has broken loose,
you foppy little monster.

724
00:37:53,274 --> 00:37:56,361
Archie and I have it in hand. Relax.

725
00:37:56,361 --> 00:37:58,947
We will be safe as others die.

726
00:37:58,947 --> 00:38:00,073
We have the touch.

727
00:38:01,049 --> 00:38:02,342
No.

728
00:38:02,490 --> 00:38:05,328
No "you and Archie."

729
00:38:05,608 --> 00:38:06,984
No.

730
00:38:07,738 --> 00:38:09,031
Enough!

731
00:38:10,462 --> 00:38:13,336
In terms of the fact that
you were about to marry her,

732
00:38:13,336 --> 00:38:15,380
you-you could just look at
it as, as you dodged a bullet.

733
00:38:15,380 --> 00:38:16,768
You could look at
trying to dodge a bullet

734
00:38:16,778 --> 00:38:18,036
but failing in about one minute.

735
00:38:18,047 --> 00:38:19,632
She wasn't right for you.

736
00:38:19,873 --> 00:38:22,804
Disloyal, for a start, and, and
was definitely the aggressor.

737
00:38:22,804 --> 00:38:25,974
- We were friends.
- Yeah, and I felt terrible!

738
00:38:25,974 --> 00:38:29,102
Every, every thrust was like
a dagger in my own heart.

739
00:38:29,102 --> 00:38:30,228
Jesus Christ! Really?

740
00:38:30,228 --> 00:38:32,647
I just want you to know how bad I felt.

741
00:38:32,647 --> 00:38:35,275
At one point, she took me in her mouth

742
00:38:35,275 --> 00:38:38,194
and I was staring at your portrait
on the other side of the room.

743
00:38:38,194 --> 00:38:39,571
You know, the one with the red setter?

744
00:38:39,571 --> 00:38:41,197
- I love that picture.
- Yeah.

745
00:38:41,197 --> 00:38:44,117
And I was like, "This is really bad.

746
00:38:44,117 --> 00:38:45,285
He shouldn't be marrying her."

747
00:38:45,285 --> 00:38:46,833
Can we hurry this along
before I just shoot him

748
00:38:46,843 --> 00:38:48,413
in the back of the head
at point-blank range?

749
00:38:48,413 --> 00:38:51,124
- All right, let's go!
- Huzzah!

750
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:53,418
Ah, wonderful, I'm not too late.

751
00:38:53,418 --> 00:38:55,295
Empress, this is between us.

752
00:38:55,295 --> 00:38:57,422
Also made illegal by me.

753
00:38:57,422 --> 00:39:01,147
But these are Russian rules and you
seem to want to live this way, yes?

754
00:39:01,158 --> 00:39:03,136
Huzzah!

755
00:39:03,136 --> 00:39:05,945
- In fact, I would like to second for Nikolai.
- You what?

756
00:39:05,956 --> 00:39:08,094
- That's ridiculous.
- And yet within the rules?

757
00:39:08,105 --> 00:39:09,309
It is.

758
00:39:09,309 --> 00:39:11,936
Great. Nikolai, go stand over there.

759
00:39:12,095 --> 00:39:14,188
I'd like to argue with you, but...

760
00:39:14,199 --> 00:39:17,327
I'm the empress and you're also
a coward who does not want to die?

761
00:39:17,807 --> 00:39:19,192
Well expressed.

762
00:39:19,482 --> 00:39:21,362
Begin. Explain to me how...

763
00:39:21,362 --> 00:39:22,637
I can't shoot you.

764
00:39:22,648 --> 00:39:24,532
Hmm. Not my problem.

765
00:39:24,532 --> 00:39:25,867
I can shoot you.

766
00:39:25,867 --> 00:39:28,536
- Great.
- And begin!

767
00:39:28,942 --> 00:39:31,790
Ten paces, turn, and then shoot.

768
00:39:32,624 --> 00:39:34,035
One.

769
00:39:34,292 --> 00:39:35,668
Two.

770
00:39:35,814 --> 00:39:37,149
Three.

771
00:39:41,174 --> 00:39:43,801
You all live by Catherine
the Great's rules.

772
00:39:43,801 --> 00:39:46,471
Understand that or leave court!

773
00:39:47,347 --> 00:39:50,043
Petrov! State Room, in
an hour. We need to plan.

774
00:39:50,054 --> 00:39:51,472
I'll be there!

775
00:40:07,992 --> 00:40:10,578
Oh, that's my nose. Yes.

776
00:40:11,913 --> 00:40:14,582
- Give him here.
- You need to go home, Grigor.

777
00:40:14,582 --> 00:40:16,167
He needs me!

778
00:40:17,631 --> 00:40:19,804
No, he doesn't.

779
00:40:20,029 --> 00:40:21,781
You need him.

780
00:40:22,196 --> 00:40:24,081
But she needs him more.

781
00:40:24,092 --> 00:40:26,678
You take Paul from me, then I
will one day come and find you

782
00:40:26,678 --> 00:40:29,180
and kill you in...

783
00:40:29,180 --> 00:40:30,598
a very weird way.

784
00:40:31,092 --> 00:40:32,533
Go home, Grigor.

785
00:40:34,227 --> 00:40:35,770
I don't really have one.

786
00:40:35,770 --> 00:40:37,438
I don't really care.

787
00:40:41,684 --> 00:40:46,103
You will be emperor, as
your grandfather intended.

788
00:40:47,322 --> 00:40:52,619
And I will live by your
side, a benevolent shadow

789
00:40:52,658 --> 00:40:54,285
and guide through this court.

790
00:41:02,722 --> 00:41:04,819
He's all right, Paul.

791
00:41:05,022 --> 00:41:07,191
See his chest moving up and down?

792
00:41:08,204 --> 00:41:09,780
Aw.

793
00:41:09,791 --> 00:41:11,681
Let's go find Uncle Archie.

794
00:41:20,254 --> 00:41:21,588
Look who I found.

795
00:41:26,009 --> 00:41:29,263
How marvelous.

796
00:41:33,620 --> 00:41:35,371
- Tatyana?
- Yes!

797
00:41:35,371 --> 00:41:36,789
Oh, it's you.

798
00:41:36,789 --> 00:41:38,458
Can you get me another apple?

799
00:41:39,292 --> 00:41:42,045
Oh. And is it more
alluring if I'm on my front

800
00:41:42,045 --> 00:41:43,671
so he can just take me from behind?

801
00:41:43,671 --> 00:41:46,382
Paul's coming with George.
And I'd say Grigor as well.

802
00:41:46,382 --> 00:41:47,967
- And Pugachev?
- No sign.

803
00:41:47,967 --> 00:41:49,344
But I'm thinking, so what?

804
00:41:49,344 --> 00:41:52,222
We have the rest of us working
in Peter's name, and Paul.

805
00:41:52,222 --> 00:41:54,599
I have them eating out
of my fucking hands.

806
00:41:54,599 --> 00:41:56,392
We just pretend he's sending me orders.

807
00:41:56,392 --> 00:41:57,560
They don't know.

808
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:58,811
Look at you.

809
00:41:58,811 --> 00:42:00,563
You're fizzing.

810
00:42:00,614 --> 00:42:02,366
And you got me an apple.

811
00:42:02,377 --> 00:42:03,628
Come here.

812
00:42:03,639 --> 00:42:04,849
Mm.

813
00:42:08,238 --> 00:42:09,915
I was looking for you.

814
00:42:09,926 --> 00:42:11,736
To tell me what?

815
00:42:11,747 --> 00:42:13,916
How horrible he was again?

816
00:42:14,744 --> 00:42:16,329
I know what he did to me,

817
00:42:16,329 --> 00:42:18,873
that in some ways he
was a terrible person,

818
00:42:18,873 --> 00:42:20,792
terrible leader, all of it.

819
00:42:20,938 --> 00:42:25,901
How he thwarted me. How I
contorted myself to fit with him.

820
00:42:26,575 --> 00:42:31,511
But I loved him, and the two
are carried here in my heart.

821
00:42:31,818 --> 00:42:33,304
Understand that.

822
00:42:33,304 --> 00:42:34,597
I do.

823
00:42:34,597 --> 00:42:36,766
You understand this, though.

824
00:42:36,766 --> 00:42:38,643
I have something to offer.

825
00:42:38,643 --> 00:42:40,770
I have to have my hands
on something that matters.

826
00:42:40,770 --> 00:42:42,647
And I am someone you need.

827
00:42:45,269 --> 00:42:46,937
What's that?

828
00:42:47,668 --> 00:42:50,421
Letters between Archie and Pugachev.

829
00:42:51,564 --> 00:42:54,984
He lit this fire, and
he got Maxim to kill him.

830
00:42:55,994 --> 00:42:58,663
I've been given a dark view of humanity.

831
00:42:58,777 --> 00:43:00,070
You know why?

832
00:43:00,081 --> 00:43:03,026
Because bad shit happens
to me all the time,

833
00:43:03,037 --> 00:43:05,873
and people are pricks,
and that's why you need me!

834
00:43:11,467 --> 00:43:12,719
Archie.

835
00:43:20,894 --> 00:43:22,562
Let's go.

836
00:43:27,192 --> 00:43:30,653
And so by the powers
vested in me by our Lord God,

837
00:43:30,653 --> 00:43:33,156
I channel his powers into this child

838
00:43:33,156 --> 00:43:36,576
to do God's work as he one
day becomes Russia's leader.

839
00:43:36,576 --> 00:43:38,912
This is very long. Hurry
through this, Archie.

840
00:43:38,912 --> 00:43:40,538
Let's get to the wedding.

841
00:43:40,538 --> 00:43:43,499
- God has touched and...
- Oh, good, doggie!

842
00:43:43,499 --> 00:43:45,126
In the middle of it. Sorry we're late.

843
00:43:45,126 --> 00:43:46,252
Fuck. Ignore them.

844
00:43:46,252 --> 00:43:48,963
And yet let's all accept
we're part of this, hmm?

845
00:43:49,217 --> 00:43:50,590
- Fine.
- Fine!

846
00:43:50,590 --> 00:43:52,916
God has touched and chosen you,

847
00:43:52,927 --> 00:43:56,888
Paul Petrovich Illyich
Vasilyev Alekseyvich Romanov.

848
00:43:56,888 --> 00:43:58,181
Also very long.

849
00:43:58,181 --> 00:43:59,718
- Can you just...
- Just say amen!

850
00:43:59,729 --> 00:44:01,672
- You say amen, I put a hole in you!
- Oh, shit.

851
00:44:01,683 --> 00:44:04,176
Hugo, don't fucking
move! You're about to die.

852
00:44:04,187 --> 00:44:05,520
Put him down, Archie.

853
00:44:05,531 --> 00:44:07,753
He won't shoot you. Say it.

854
00:44:08,055 --> 00:44:10,015
I don't like the look
in his eye, to be honest.

855
00:44:10,026 --> 00:44:13,613
Good analysis. Put the
baby down and walk away.

856
00:44:15,060 --> 00:44:16,604
Fucker!

857
00:44:16,615 --> 00:44:20,025
You are the leader,
the one God has chosen. Amen.

858
00:44:20,036 --> 00:44:21,871
- Amen! Yes!
- Archie!

859
00:44:21,871 --> 00:44:25,375
The empress has requested the
patriarch's presence. Immediately.

860
00:44:25,654 --> 00:44:27,364
Must dash.

861
00:44:31,203 --> 00:44:33,205
Well... half done.

862
00:44:33,495 --> 00:44:35,269
It's all for Peter and Paul, darling.

863
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,402
We're done, you and I.

864
00:44:38,039 --> 00:44:39,639
Well, full disclosure,

865
00:44:39,639 --> 00:44:42,976
I am actually interested
in someone else long-term...

866
00:44:43,189 --> 00:44:44,256
so agreed.

867
00:45:08,766 --> 00:45:10,434
Feels strangely right.

868
00:45:17,534 --> 00:45:18,661
You sat.

869
00:45:19,220 --> 00:45:20,388
I did.

870
00:45:24,934 --> 00:45:28,104
Empress, I would like to apologize.

871
00:45:28,104 --> 00:45:30,732
My blood's loyalty to
you overheats at times,

872
00:45:30,732 --> 00:45:34,402
and I act for your best
interests out of my love for you.

873
00:45:35,185 --> 00:45:37,312
And also, I'm a killer.

874
00:45:37,323 --> 00:45:38,781
That's Maxim.

875
00:45:38,781 --> 00:45:40,170
Sit, Maxim.

876
00:45:42,275 --> 00:45:43,651
Empress.

877
00:45:44,868 --> 00:45:47,037
Archie. Hello.

878
00:45:48,057 --> 00:45:50,476
I'd like to thank you for Pugachev.

879
00:45:50,543 --> 00:45:52,837
I'm not sure I...

880
00:45:52,837 --> 00:45:56,273
Archie, don't insult
me with faux denials

881
00:45:56,284 --> 00:45:59,928
and the teary clutching of rosary
beads and bleatings of innocence.

882
00:45:59,928 --> 00:46:03,139
I was in a haze of grief that
didn't allow me to see it.

883
00:46:03,968 --> 00:46:06,971
But you were always the one
coming to me with a solution.

884
00:46:09,020 --> 00:46:13,042
I recently shot a man in
the head instead of myself,

885
00:46:13,053 --> 00:46:15,836
and it seems to have
cleared something for me.

886
00:46:16,484 --> 00:46:18,778
I see with a blazing clarity.

887
00:46:20,521 --> 00:46:23,330
Right. So?

888
00:46:23,341 --> 00:46:26,610
I asked you to school me in savvy
political dealings, did I not?

889
00:46:26,621 --> 00:46:28,122
Uh, you did.

890
00:46:28,122 --> 00:46:30,735
It has been a good
lesson, and I'm grateful.

891
00:46:32,107 --> 00:46:34,735
All your own work, or others involved?

892
00:46:35,822 --> 00:46:39,326
Uh, the gratitude belongs...

893
00:46:39,966 --> 00:46:41,175
all to me.

894
00:46:41,228 --> 00:46:42,938
Out of love for you.

895
00:46:43,012 --> 00:46:45,056
I never meant it to get
out of hand like this,

896
00:46:45,056 --> 00:46:49,602
but let's clean the rest and
show Russia your immense power.

897
00:46:49,602 --> 00:46:50,854
Let's.

898
00:46:52,003 --> 00:46:54,043
The Church will come
out across the country

899
00:46:54,054 --> 00:46:56,734
and say they have asked God for a sign

900
00:46:56,734 --> 00:46:59,237
that Catherine the Great
is Russia's destiny.

901
00:46:59,679 --> 00:47:04,659
You will tell them the day and the
time to look into the sky to see it.

902
00:47:04,659 --> 00:47:06,077
The comet?

903
00:47:06,077 --> 00:47:07,514
- Exactly.
- Love it!

904
00:47:07,525 --> 00:47:10,456
They need a story. This
will be one piece of it.

905
00:47:10,467 --> 00:47:12,845
Marial has the proclamation
for you to issue.

906
00:47:16,589 --> 00:47:18,131
What happened to you?

907
00:47:18,131 --> 00:47:19,966
The empress shot me.

908
00:47:19,966 --> 00:47:21,092
Huzzah.

909
00:47:21,379 --> 00:47:24,387
- Maxim, I need a general.
- I'm sorry, what?

910
00:47:24,747 --> 00:47:26,890
- I'm ready.
- Oh, come on. He's four.

911
00:47:26,890 --> 00:47:29,642
I want you to get the credit
for the killing of Pugachev.

912
00:47:29,899 --> 00:47:31,638
So you will go on a speaking tour

913
00:47:31,649 --> 00:47:34,360
and tell the tale of the
Cossack Pugachev's death.

914
00:47:34,524 --> 00:47:37,984
After that, there is a
military academy in Vladivostok.

915
00:47:37,984 --> 00:47:40,904
You will go there, learn
the craft, and return to me.

916
00:47:41,178 --> 00:47:42,191
Vladivostok?

917
00:47:42,202 --> 00:47:45,405
Also where the finest
tailors in Russia reside.

918
00:47:45,416 --> 00:47:48,045
Interesting. But, Marial...

919
00:47:48,056 --> 00:47:51,101
For the good of Russia, I have agreed.

920
00:47:51,319 --> 00:47:53,654
- I will visit often.
- Yearly seems enough.

921
00:47:54,581 --> 00:47:56,791
And Velementov, you will go south,

922
00:47:56,802 --> 00:47:59,088
to tell the tale of the
death through the ice.

923
00:47:59,099 --> 00:48:01,073
Petrov, you will go to Moscow

924
00:48:01,084 --> 00:48:03,551
and claim the death of Peter
the Third and unleash...

925
00:48:03,551 --> 00:48:05,456
Please say a wave of cannonballs.

926
00:48:05,773 --> 00:48:07,263
- Cannonballs.
- Brilliant.

927
00:48:07,263 --> 00:48:09,367
Of course he gets fucking cannonballs.

928
00:48:09,378 --> 00:48:12,214
Marial, you will prepare a
statement that Peter the Third

929
00:48:12,225 --> 00:48:13,425
is dead by hemorrhoids,

930
00:48:13,436 --> 00:48:15,579
also a different one saying smallpox,

931
00:48:15,590 --> 00:48:19,030
also a different one saying he was
killed while fighting the uprising.

932
00:48:19,041 --> 00:48:21,308
Also that I am Peter
the Great's daughter.

933
00:48:21,319 --> 00:48:22,987
Love my new job.

934
00:48:23,223 --> 00:48:25,031
Everyone will get a story they want.

935
00:48:25,031 --> 00:48:27,817
And I will get whichever
I need whenever I need it.

936
00:48:29,017 --> 00:48:30,995
Oh, Archie, one more thing.

937
00:48:31,034 --> 00:48:32,119
Guards!

938
00:48:33,925 --> 00:48:36,281
Take him, tear his
cassock from his body,

939
00:48:36,292 --> 00:48:39,763
rip his beard from his
face, and bury him alive.

940
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:44,884
And then, in a semicircle,
piss on the grave.

941
00:48:45,255 --> 00:48:46,997
- What?
- Now!

942
00:48:48,295 --> 00:48:50,338
I thought you understood!

943
00:48:52,807 --> 00:48:54,183
Wait!

944
00:48:55,453 --> 00:48:58,790
The Church has half a
million serfs it owns.

945
00:48:59,745 --> 00:49:02,327
You're going to sign this and free them.

946
00:49:02,338 --> 00:49:03,695
The fuck I will.

947
00:49:03,695 --> 00:49:06,114
Also, ten million acres,

948
00:49:06,114 --> 00:49:09,284
25 acres per serf, which
they will be awarded.

949
00:49:09,284 --> 00:49:11,286
The country can watch a grand experiment

950
00:49:11,286 --> 00:49:13,329
without the nobles wanting
to bathe in my blood.

951
00:49:14,455 --> 00:49:17,083
I hope to shame them
into freeing the serfs.

952
00:49:17,848 --> 00:49:20,183
Sign it or die.

953
00:49:21,737 --> 00:49:23,030
Right.

954
00:49:23,854 --> 00:49:25,049
Fine.

955
00:49:25,049 --> 00:49:26,217
Thanks.

956
00:49:31,448 --> 00:49:33,109
Fucking let go of me!

957
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:34,986
Oh, you thought they
were going to release you?

958
00:49:34,997 --> 00:49:37,080
Sweet. Take him now.

959
00:49:38,521 --> 00:49:41,723
- Catherine.
- You fucking played me!

960
00:49:43,250 --> 00:49:44,918
Consider me schooled.

961
00:49:48,435 --> 00:49:50,062
Cut his head off and bring it to me.

962
00:49:50,073 --> 00:49:51,908
Head off. Will do.

963
00:49:56,736 --> 00:49:58,821
That was all very thrilling.

964
00:50:02,646 --> 00:50:04,147
Your seat.

965
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,187
I thought you weren't getting up.

966
00:50:09,469 --> 00:50:11,262
It was an ultimatum.

967
00:50:11,395 --> 00:50:14,440
Had to sound dramatic or
it's not a good ultimatum.

968
00:50:55,798 --> 00:50:57,174
You may go.

969
00:51:11,174 --> 00:51:12,634
Husband.

970
00:52:04,631 --> 00:52:06,574
It's a good day to kill an empress.

971
00:52:13,772 --> 00:52:15,065
Let it rip.

972
00:52:25,063 --> 00:52:26,231
Oh, fuck.

973
00:52:41,740 --> 00:52:42,949
Fucker!

974
00:53:18,157 --> 00:53:19,701
Destiny didn't do it.

975
00:53:19,805 --> 00:53:21,578
I did it.

976
00:55:23,172 --> 00:55:28,172
