177
00:10:18,911 --> 00:10:20,537
Uh, her and I in each other's hearts,
178
00:10:20,537 --> 00:10:23,498
but something made me play
the Pugachev, just in case.
179
00:10:23,498 --> 00:10:27,461
And then she just...
she fucking went at me, like a savage.
180
00:10:27,461 --> 00:10:31,465
I'm hard thinking about it,
but at the same time, she stabbed me.
181
00:10:31,465 --> 00:10:34,092
Yeah, I'm, I'm trying
to "new day" it, but fuck me,
182
00:10:34,092 --> 00:10:36,136
I would be dead were I not so clever.
183
00:10:36,136 --> 00:10:37,846
Oh, is that a peach?
I could use one.
184
00:10:37,846 --> 00:10:40,766
- Uh, probably not that one.
- I'm terrified to hear
the answer to this.
185
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,018
So Catherine is dead?
186
00:10:43,018 --> 00:10:45,896
No, she looked forlorn and broken,
187
00:10:45,896 --> 00:10:50,984
staring at me, as was I, and then
we threw ourselves together and...
188
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:52,194
Mm. No, fuck me.
189
00:10:52,194 --> 00:10:54,821
This is a relationship at times
I find a little too fucking complicated.
190
00:10:54,821 --> 00:10:56,240
Both alive?
191
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,075
Oh, it is too fabulous!
192
00:10:58,075 --> 00:11:00,827
Oh, your love is strong.
It is a happy day!
193
00:11:00,827 --> 00:11:04,790
Mm, sort of.
Yeah, that is what I can't quite work out.
194
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:05,958
Is it?
195
00:11:05,958 --> 00:11:08,502
Yeah, I spent all of breakfast
with my eyes on the cutlery,
196
00:11:08,502 --> 00:11:10,754
as she flayed badger flan and gooseneck.
197
00:11:10,754 --> 00:11:12,965
How could I live like that?
198
00:11:12,965 --> 00:11:15,259
Is she still going to kill
the prisoners?
199
00:11:15,259 --> 00:11:16,885
What prisoners?
200
00:11:23,892 --> 00:11:27,521
- [door opens]
- Well, hello, and what a day!
201
00:11:27,521 --> 00:11:28,730
Uggh!
202
00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:31,275
Now he's dead, we can go to work.
203
00:11:31,275 --> 00:11:35,279
I always felt, if I can say it,
that whilst he was alive,
204
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:37,114
you could not lead the country.
205
00:11:37,114 --> 00:11:40,033
I feel sad about it.
I've known him since he was a wee--
206
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:41,994
You cry about him, I'll shoot you.
207
00:11:41,994 --> 00:11:43,954
Waiting for you on the prisoners,
as ordered.
208
00:11:44,621 --> 00:11:46,290
Uh, right, yes.
209
00:11:46,290 --> 00:11:47,791
Uh, uh...
210
00:11:47,791 --> 00:11:52,713
Sometimes, if days are, uh...
211
00:11:52,713 --> 00:11:57,134
Oh, I, I put out a press release
announcing his death.
212
00:11:57,134 --> 00:12:00,220
- [door opens]
- I need a word. Fuck off, you two.
213
00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:02,181
No. No!
214
00:12:03,432 --> 00:12:05,809
- No!
- Fuck it all.
215
00:12:05,809 --> 00:12:07,728
Hello.
216
00:12:07,728 --> 00:12:10,022
I can explain.
217
00:12:10,022 --> 00:12:12,691
Oh, you're relieved I'm alive, Orlo.
Me too.
218
00:12:12,691 --> 00:12:16,904
All of us, I think.
It is a new day, one of forgiveness.
219
00:12:16,904 --> 00:12:19,823
You, apparently, arrested all my friends.
You need to let them go.
220
00:12:19,823 --> 00:12:22,284
- Don't tell me what to do.
- I need to sit down.
221
00:12:22,284 --> 00:12:26,538
The, uh, court's pretty excited
about the bullet or the bear.
222
00:12:26,538 --> 00:12:28,332
What is the bullet or the bear?
223
00:12:28,332 --> 00:12:29,625
Oh, they choose.
224
00:12:29,625 --> 00:12:32,419
Shot by a firing squad
or mauled by a bear.
225
00:12:32,419 --> 00:12:34,922
If they walk away, they live.
I invented it.
226
00:12:34,922 --> 00:12:37,216
- I didn't order that.
- I-I... yeah.
227
00:12:37,216 --> 00:12:39,384
I thought the court would love it, and...
228
00:12:39,384 --> 00:12:41,220
Last night, we were killing people.
229
00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:42,971
Last night, we were
rolling through this court
230
00:12:42,971 --> 00:12:44,890
and cleaning out all against us.
231
00:12:44,890 --> 00:12:46,975
Are you yelling at her?
232
00:12:46,975 --> 00:12:50,187
You'll look weak if you let them go,
and, you know, everyone's excited.
233
00:12:50,187 --> 00:12:51,522
Don't worry, I'll fix that.
234
00:12:51,522 --> 00:12:53,273
She's not killing my fucking friends, Velementov.
235
00:12:53,273 --> 00:12:56,443
I'll fix it. They are loyal to me,
so they will be loyal to her,
236
00:12:56,443 --> 00:12:58,320
as I am loyal to her. Really.
237
00:13:04,535 --> 00:13:05,911
- [door closes]
- Sorry.
238
00:13:05,911 --> 00:13:08,830
I-I did kill him. It just wasn't him.
239
00:13:08,830 --> 00:13:11,750
And-And then my heart...
240
00:13:12,876 --> 00:13:14,211
Hard to explain, really.
241
00:13:14,211 --> 00:13:16,505
We started something.
242
00:13:16,505 --> 00:13:22,469
We swore a blood oath,
and we've achieved fucking nothing!
243
00:13:22,469 --> 00:13:24,930
Not even the coup, it turns out.
244
00:13:24,930 --> 00:13:27,474
Nothing you've done has worked.
245
00:13:27,474 --> 00:13:32,479
You are a failure, and I was a fool
to throw my heart and hopes away on you.
246
00:13:39,736 --> 00:13:40,988
[door slams]
247
00:13:40,988 --> 00:13:42,197
Peter!
248
00:13:42,197 --> 00:13:45,868
Of course, she didn't kill me.
It is a volatile love, but a strong one.
249
00:13:46,702 --> 00:13:48,912
That better not be a fucking
disappointed look.
250
00:13:48,912 --> 00:13:50,956
Huzzah, Emperor Peter.
251
00:13:55,002 --> 00:13:57,004
- Return it loaded.
- Will do.
252
00:13:58,338 --> 00:14:01,091
I know.
We're all relieved, amazing tongue.
253
00:14:01,091 --> 00:14:02,676
You're part lizard.
254
00:14:04,511 --> 00:14:06,013
Fucking hungover.
255
00:14:06,013 --> 00:14:09,474
Ah, she's never gonna give me
what we want.
256
00:14:09,474 --> 00:14:12,477
No, with him we had hope.
257
00:14:13,395 --> 00:14:14,855
Ah, Hugo, Agnes.
258
00:14:14,855 --> 00:14:16,190
We should hunt later.
259
00:14:17,649 --> 00:14:18,650
Love it!
260
00:14:21,862 --> 00:14:23,530
[gun fires]
[woman screaming]
261
00:14:27,409 --> 00:14:29,453
- He's alive.
- And so are we.
262
00:14:30,579 --> 00:14:33,749
- I want to fuck you against this wall.
- Who needs a wall?
263
00:14:33,749 --> 00:14:36,376
Well, I find a little bit of purchase--
Mm-mm...
264
00:14:40,047 --> 00:14:42,090
Ah, yes, ah, yes.
265
00:14:42,090 --> 00:14:44,259
[sighing, moaning]
266
00:14:50,474 --> 00:14:51,975
I know, I know.
267
00:14:51,975 --> 00:14:55,479
You thought I was dead, and now
the joy you feel is discombobulating.
268
00:14:55,479 --> 00:14:57,147
The Empress and I are at peace.
269
00:14:57,147 --> 00:14:59,024
In truce, in love.
270
00:15:00,317 --> 00:15:01,693
You're alive!
271
00:15:01,693 --> 00:15:03,070
[laughter]
272
00:15:03,070 --> 00:15:05,781
Fucking hell.
She didn't kill you?
273
00:15:05,781 --> 00:15:07,032
I am alive.
274
00:15:07,032 --> 00:15:10,661
You fucked her mother, and killed her,
and she still didn't kill you?
275
00:15:10,661 --> 00:15:11,787
Well, the fucking was me.
276
00:15:11,787 --> 00:15:14,540
The killing was gravity,
and we're trying not to mention that.
277
00:15:14,540 --> 00:15:17,251
She loves me.
Well, she sort of did.
278
00:15:17,251 --> 00:15:20,754
I played the Pugachev card.
He took some five stabs for me.
279
00:15:20,754 --> 00:15:21,880
She tried to kill you?
280
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,925
We're trying not to dwell on that.
You chaps are in a predicament.
281
00:15:24,925 --> 00:15:26,593
Five times?
282
00:15:26,593 --> 00:15:29,304
And regretted it.
Yeah, I saw it, the regret.
283
00:15:29,304 --> 00:15:32,516
Or you'd outplayed her,
and she was too tired to keep fighting.
284
00:15:32,516 --> 00:15:33,809
Five stabs is a lot.
285
00:15:33,809 --> 00:15:35,769
Anything over three is very tiring.
286
00:15:35,769 --> 00:15:39,606
That's true.
No, she does not want me dead.
287
00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:40,732
I fucked her mother.
288
00:15:40,732 --> 00:15:44,778
If she'd not tried to kill me,
I would not respect or love her, so...
289
00:15:44,778 --> 00:15:47,823
Oh. Shut up, shut up, shut the fuck up.
I came to help you out of here.
290
00:15:47,823 --> 00:15:49,408
So, we can go?
291
00:15:49,408 --> 00:15:52,160
And I'm remembering
all you bitches that came to watch.
292
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,080
- No, you can't go quite yet.
- What?
293
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,165
Well, she still has some issues
around your loyalty,
294
00:15:57,165 --> 00:16:00,085
and the court must see
some cost to your traitorousness.
295
00:16:00,085 --> 00:16:03,797
But we were loyal to you,
and we hate that cunt and want her dead.
296
00:16:03,797 --> 00:16:06,800
But you're together,
so now we don't want that, right?
297
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,761
Or are we to pretend
that we don't, but we do?
298
00:16:09,761 --> 00:16:12,806
I just need to see her.
There's been a mistake.
Maybe she doesn't even know I'm here.
299
00:16:12,806 --> 00:16:15,184
Fucking Orlo probably
just arrested me himself.
300
00:16:15,184 --> 00:16:16,476
She knows you're here.
301
00:16:17,352 --> 00:16:19,062
Oh, right.
302
00:16:19,062 --> 00:16:23,150
I think what we need from you all
is a gesture of loyalty.
303
00:16:23,150 --> 00:16:26,653
- Absolutely.
- Mm. You must all take the bear.
304

[snarling]
305
00:16:27,988 --> 00:16:29,907
What? It'll tear us apart!
306
00:16:29,907 --> 00:16:33,744
No, the trick is, offer up
something fast, a focus point.
307
00:16:33,744 --> 00:16:35,954
You know, just a forearm,
straight in its mouth.
308
00:16:35,954 --> 00:16:39,208
The bone will crush,
it gets a surfeit of arterial blood,
309
00:16:39,208 --> 00:16:40,751
a hunk of flesh all at once.
310
00:16:40,751 --> 00:16:43,420
- That will hold him, you walk away.
- Stagger away.
311
00:16:43,420 --> 00:16:45,297
- Great plan.
- Thanks.
312
00:16:45,297 --> 00:16:47,841
- Sarcasm, fucking madness!
- I don't think so.
313
00:16:47,841 --> 00:16:52,304
You'll want to black out, don't.
Then it's a smorgasbord of human offal.

Pancreas, liver, kidney, bear heaven.
315
00:16:55,265 --> 00:16:56,099
No.
316
00:16:56,099 --> 00:16:57,267
- No.
- Fuckin' idiot.
317
00:16:57,267 --> 00:17:00,103
- I'm giving you a way out.
- Find a better way.
318
00:17:00,103 --> 00:17:03,065
If she really loves you,
she'll just let us go, make her!
319
00:17:03,065 --> 00:17:07,569
Of course, she does, fine.
Ungrateful, cowardly fucks. Huh!

00:17:21,792 --> 00:17:24,628
You seem nervous,
so I thought it was best.
325
00:17:24,628 --> 00:17:26,004
What do you hear?
326
00:17:26,004 --> 00:17:28,131
They're not dead yet,
but apparently at dusk.
327
00:17:28,131 --> 00:17:30,133
And they say there'll be
daily sweeps of the palace
328
00:17:30,133 --> 00:17:31,677
for anyone suspected a traitor.
329
00:17:31,677 --> 00:17:34,012
- Right.
- No one could believe
you weren't arrested.
330
00:17:34,012 --> 00:17:37,516
- Right.
- They say she has a special death
planned for you,
331
00:17:37,516 --> 00:17:39,017
but also that she is in love with you.
332
00:17:39,017 --> 00:17:41,019
Also, Peter may not be dead.
333
00:17:41,019 --> 00:17:42,980
But there is a press release
saying that he is,
334
00:17:42,980 --> 00:17:45,983
and Karlov saw him walking out
of the palace covered in stab wounds.
335
00:17:45,983 --> 00:17:48,986
Also, there is a new plague afoot
and Orlo is said to be raping anyone
336
00:17:48,986 --> 00:17:51,238
who crosses his path, in the face.
337
00:17:51,238 --> 00:17:53,031
Fuck me.
338
00:17:53,031 --> 00:17:55,284
There is a lot of frenzied talk.
339
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,538
I can't just sit here
and wait for my death.
340
00:17:59,538 --> 00:18:02,124
I could make love to you
to fill the time till your death?

I feel your eyes on me
when you are bathing.
342
00:18:04,042 --> 00:18:08,130
They really aren't,
but sweet of you to offer.

00:18:08,130 --> 00:18:09,673
Throw me that Rousseau book?
344
00:18:15,971 --> 00:18:17,806
When I thought he was dead,
345
00:18:19,183 --> 00:18:22,895
I could literally feel a tearing...
346
00:18:24,354 --> 00:18:27,107
my heart and brain ripping,
347
00:18:27,107 --> 00:18:30,527
and then, there he was,
348
00:18:30,527 --> 00:18:32,613
standing there.
349
00:18:34,323 --> 00:18:36,617
And it all pushed back together,
350
00:18:36,617 --> 00:18:38,869
and blood pumped...
351
00:18:41,246 --> 00:18:43,207
and I felt whole.
352
00:18:44,416 --> 00:18:48,879
But I woke up,
and everything is a mess, me included.
353
00:18:48,879 --> 00:18:51,507
And why? Because of fucking love?
354
00:18:53,634 --> 00:18:57,387
I once rode naked
in teeming rain in circles
355
00:18:57,387 --> 00:18:59,431
outside Peter the Great's windows,
356
00:18:59,431 --> 00:19:02,559
singing bawdy folk songs,
hoping he would look out.
357
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:03,936
Did he?
358
00:19:03,936 --> 00:19:07,606
He did, and I rode three more hours
waiting for him to emerge.
359
00:19:07,606 --> 00:19:08,732
And did he?
360
00:19:08,732 --> 00:19:13,820
Not that day, but I got pneumonia,
and while I was convalescing,
361
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:18,075
he came to me, and I gave him
a hand job as he fed me soup.
362
00:19:18,075 --> 00:19:20,118
It was so tender.
363
00:19:21,495 --> 00:19:24,581
We give in to our hearts,
a forgivable flaw.
364
00:19:24,581 --> 00:19:26,041
That's all you did.
365
00:19:26,041 --> 00:19:27,709
Yes.
366
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:29,795
[sighs]
367
00:19:31,296 --> 00:19:34,007
I don't know what to do
about the prisoners.
368
00:19:34,007 --> 00:19:37,219
Kill them, torture them, let them go?
369
00:19:37,219 --> 00:19:39,721
Surely not in that order.
370
00:19:40,472 --> 00:19:42,015
Funny, Archie.
371
00:19:42,975 --> 00:19:46,645
I cannot kill people in cold blood!
372
00:19:46,645 --> 00:19:48,146
That is not me.
373
00:19:48,146 --> 00:19:51,316
That is not the nation I wish to build.
374
00:19:51,316 --> 00:19:54,987
I thought I would write a speech
about forgiveness,
375
00:19:54,987 --> 00:19:58,532
it's a new day for us all,
and release them.
376
00:19:58,532 --> 00:20:00,200
[sighs]
377
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,952
I see your looks.
378
00:20:01,952 --> 00:20:04,037
[scoffs] I'm naïve.
379
00:20:04,037 --> 00:20:06,999
I think people can be changed by reason,
380
00:20:06,999 --> 00:20:10,919
and a few pithy words
will unlock their hearts and minds,
381
00:20:10,919 --> 00:20:14,756
and the good of all will be seen
and sacrifices will be made for that.
382
00:20:14,756 --> 00:20:16,300
Ha-ha. Ooh!
383
00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:19,678
- It's sweet.
- It's a cute idea.
384
00:20:19,678 --> 00:20:21,597
But doomed, yes?
385
00:20:23,724 --> 00:20:27,060
Because when I can't,
as I couldn't yesterday,
386
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:32,774
and the realities of humans came at me,
I got a knife and took at it.
387
00:20:32,774 --> 00:20:34,484
So what is the answer?
388
00:20:37,154 --> 00:20:38,989
I think you two may be.
389
00:20:41,074 --> 00:20:44,661
- We?
- What shall I do with the prisoners?
390
00:20:46,997 --> 00:20:51,335
See? You do not have
any ideological position.
391
00:20:51,335 --> 00:20:54,630
You merely analyze a situation,
what you wish to win,
392
00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:57,257
and how you would arrange
the circumstances to that.
393
00:20:57,257 --> 00:21:00,219
No morality, no philosophy, just win.
394
00:21:00,219 --> 00:21:02,221
It's warming to be seen, isn't it?
395
00:21:02,221 --> 00:21:03,847
Indeed!
396
00:21:03,847 --> 00:21:05,891
It is terrible of you both,
397
00:21:05,891 --> 00:21:10,771
but what if I harnessed it
for my own good, to drive us to my goals?
398
00:21:11,438 --> 00:21:13,148
You wish to use me?
399
00:21:13,148 --> 00:21:14,358
I do.
400
00:21:14,358 --> 00:21:17,361
And you trust me to further your aims?
401
00:21:17,361 --> 00:21:20,948
You are not loyal,
except to yourself, deep down.
402
00:21:21,823 --> 00:21:26,578
But you are both honest with me,
whether I like it or not.
403
00:21:26,578 --> 00:21:28,497
That is all I ask.
404
00:21:29,331 --> 00:21:35,128
Orlo and Velementov helped get me here,
but they clearly cannot get me there.
405
00:21:35,796 --> 00:21:37,297
I feel you two can.
406
00:21:37,297 --> 00:21:42,094
If we are to act for you,
you'd best not know everything we do.
407
00:21:42,094 --> 00:21:44,388
The machinery may not be pretty.
408
00:21:44,388 --> 00:21:47,474
No, I wish to be taught this way.
409
00:21:47,474 --> 00:21:49,893
It is not my natural way.
410
00:21:49,893 --> 00:21:53,105
I am, perhaps, a delusional optimist.
411
00:21:54,731 --> 00:21:56,483
This will change.
412
00:21:56,483 --> 00:22:01,029
One thing you must promise
is when we are in play,
413
00:22:01,029 --> 00:22:04,283
you must hold the line and trust us.
414
00:22:06,076 --> 00:22:07,536
I shall.
415
00:22:08,579 --> 00:22:11,665
And I'm sure I will be
better at this than both of you,
416
00:22:11,665 --> 00:22:13,250
with a little schooling, of course.
417
00:22:13,250 --> 00:22:16,712
Oh, your famous confidence
remains intact.
418
00:22:16,712 --> 00:22:19,214
I want all this for Russia.
419
00:22:19,214 --> 00:22:21,133
They do not want it.
420
00:22:21,133 --> 00:22:24,761
They mostly did not care whether I won
or Peter won last night.
421
00:22:26,597 --> 00:22:31,768
But I will be the leader I promised myself
I would be, or die trying.
422
00:22:36,273 --> 00:22:38,775
Another speech.
God, it's pathological.
423
00:22:42,905 --> 00:22:44,907
[sighs] Okay.
424
00:22:44,907 --> 00:22:47,367
[clears throat] Okay, okay, go!
425
00:22:48,243 --> 00:22:50,162
Rousseau.
426
00:22:50,162 --> 00:22:53,040
We must rid society of the blight
on our society.
427
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,167
I would love to read this
when you execute the prisoners.
428
00:22:55,167 --> 00:22:57,252
You want me to execute the prisoners?
429
00:22:57,252 --> 00:22:59,046
You absolutely fucking must.
430
00:22:59,046 --> 00:23:01,715
Curious. From the seating arrangements
at the wedding,
431
00:23:01,715 --> 00:23:03,800
you seemed to be on Peter's side.
432
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,428
I was possibly overly obedient
to the place cards.
433
00:23:06,428 --> 00:23:07,513
The place cards?
434
00:23:07,513 --> 00:23:11,391
Years of manners and court upbringing,
which is what we are trying to undo.
435
00:23:11,391 --> 00:23:15,312
Unpick us from our past
and create our future, my Empress,
436
00:23:15,312 --> 00:23:18,524
where we do not obey anything
but reason and progress.
437
00:23:18,524 --> 00:23:20,359
You have my heart.
[book slams]
438
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,319
My loyalty.
439
00:23:22,319 --> 00:23:23,987
Why did you not arrest her?
440
00:23:23,987 --> 00:23:27,449
For she saw into my heart
on my return and knew I believed.
441
00:23:27,449 --> 00:23:29,576
She made me new.
442
00:23:29,576 --> 00:23:31,495
I think I was flattered
I had changed someone.
443
00:23:31,495 --> 00:23:33,580
You're not wrong.
I have changed.
444
00:23:34,456 --> 00:23:39,586
And you saw that, in my heart,
when we talked, I do believe.
445
00:23:40,170 --> 00:23:43,257
I will happily watch you gun down
the disloyal friends who I love
446
00:23:43,257 --> 00:23:45,217
for you and this new Russia.
447
00:23:45,217 --> 00:23:47,219
They are disloyal to our cause.
448
00:23:47,219 --> 00:23:49,805
So passionate.
ELIZABETH: It's giddying.
449
00:23:51,014 --> 00:23:52,516
Why don't you start us off, then?
450
00:23:53,141 --> 00:23:55,018
- What?
- What?
451
00:23:55,018 --> 00:23:58,605
Why don't you kill the first one?
I suggest Tatyana.
452
00:23:58,605 --> 00:23:59,773
Surely, Grigor.
453
00:23:59,773 --> 00:24:02,276
She may have some animosity towards him,
454
00:24:02,276 --> 00:24:04,945
as he has spent much time
inside Marial lately.
455
00:24:04,945 --> 00:24:06,446
I...
456
00:24:08,115 --> 00:24:09,491
George?
457
00:24:09,491 --> 00:24:11,326
Of course, I'd love to.
458
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:14,913
Wish I thought of it.
459
00:24:16,039 --> 00:24:17,541
Let's go, then.
460
00:24:21,128 --> 00:24:23,964
[bystanders clapping and cheering]
461
00:24:25,924 --> 00:24:27,801
[cheering]
462
00:24:27,801 --> 00:24:29,178
Catherine!
463
00:24:32,598 --> 00:24:34,183
Soldier, get George a gun.
464
00:24:44,860 --> 00:24:46,320
I'm going to shoot you.
465
00:24:47,237 --> 00:24:48,572
Funny.
466
00:24:49,573 --> 00:24:51,450
You can't put me with these idiots!
467
00:24:51,450 --> 00:24:53,493
- Idiots? We're in love.
- Can you just give me some space?
468
00:24:53,493 --> 00:24:55,829
- What the fuck are you doing?
- George.
469
00:24:55,829 --> 00:24:57,497
All hail Catherine the Great!
[fires]
470
00:24:57,497 --> 00:24:59,208
Oh, fuck!
471
00:24:59,208 --> 00:25:01,460
[cheering]
472
00:25:01,460 --> 00:25:03,128
Well, that was unexpected.
473
00:25:06,173 --> 00:25:07,883
You shot her, you shot her!
474
00:25:10,260 --> 00:25:12,346
Fucking savages.
475
00:25:12,346 --> 00:25:13,555
Own it.
476
00:25:17,643 --> 00:25:19,895
[cheering]
477
00:25:21,939 --> 00:25:23,524
You've shot me, bitch!
478
00:25:23,524 --> 00:25:25,984
Sorry, this is still Russia.
479
00:25:25,984 --> 00:25:28,111
- Enough!
- Are you sure?
480
00:25:28,111 --> 00:25:30,531
She said enough! Oh!
481
00:25:30,531 --> 00:25:31,949
Let's go.
482
00:25:32,741 --> 00:25:35,494
- What the fuck was that?
- You okay, Tat?
483
00:25:35,494 --> 00:25:39,623
I have a hole in me, Arkady,
what do you think? [groans]
484
00:25:39,623 --> 00:25:41,625
This is getting very disturbing.
485
00:25:41,625 --> 00:25:44,044
TATYANA: Oh, my God!
486
00:25:44,044 --> 00:25:47,256
You know, the thing is that
she is not a cold-blooded killer.
487
00:25:47,256 --> 00:25:50,884
To bullet or bear all those people,
she doesn't have that kind of heart.
488
00:25:50,884 --> 00:25:53,053
Now, leaving aside yesterday,
as your mother said,
489
00:25:53,053 --> 00:25:54,471
which was just a bad day.
490
00:25:54,471 --> 00:25:57,850
And in passion is one thing,
so we, Paul, may relax
491
00:25:57,850 --> 00:26:01,687
and eat this haunch of venison
bathed in red wine and juniper.
492
00:26:01,687 --> 00:26:04,523
Mm. We wait her out, a gesture of loyalty.
493
00:26:04,523 --> 00:26:06,775
- [Tatyana groaning]
- Ah, morning.
494
00:26:06,775 --> 00:26:08,694
Oh, my God! Uh...
495
00:26:08,694 --> 00:26:11,154
- She's shot.
- She'll probably be fine.
496
00:26:11,154 --> 00:26:13,949
Stop fucking saying "probably"!
497
00:26:13,949 --> 00:26:15,826
An unknown pathogen
gets in there, it'll kill you,
498
00:26:15,826 --> 00:26:18,120
but barring that, probably okay.
499
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:20,455
- Is she the only one?
- So far.
500
00:26:22,082 --> 00:26:23,625
[sighs]
501
00:26:24,418 --> 00:26:26,170
[snarling]
502
00:26:27,754 --> 00:26:29,423
Window.
503
00:26:29,423 --> 00:26:31,258
No! No! No, no, no, no, no.
504
00:26:36,221 --> 00:26:37,556
[groans]
505
00:26:40,601 --> 00:26:44,438
It is a new day, a new page, Orlo.
506
00:26:44,438 --> 00:26:46,273
Turn it, hmm?
507
00:26:47,482 --> 00:26:48,942
[coughing]
508
00:26:48,942 --> 00:26:50,903
No more bloodshed!
509
00:26:50,903 --> 00:26:53,947
That is not what I meant
by savvy and clever dealing.
510
00:26:53,947 --> 00:26:56,408
I really didn't expect her to shoot her.
511
00:26:56,408 --> 00:27:00,245
Well, she called your bluff,
so who played who?
512
00:27:00,245 --> 00:27:03,040
Everyone played everyone.
Don't you see that?
513
00:27:03,957 --> 00:27:06,043
We should ponder why she shot her.
514
00:27:07,127 --> 00:27:09,129
To prove her loyalty to me.
515
00:27:09,129 --> 00:27:14,510
So, she's either terrified I'll kill her,
or is actually loyal.
516
00:27:14,510 --> 00:27:16,553
- And?
- And?
517
00:27:16,553 --> 00:27:19,348
And she just cost herself something.
518
00:27:19,348 --> 00:27:21,266
She shot someone on the other side,
519
00:27:21,266 --> 00:27:24,978
so she's peeled off them,
and that weakens her and them.
520
00:27:24,978 --> 00:27:28,023
And the crowd got some violence,
so that was fun.
521
00:27:28,023 --> 00:27:29,399
I don't want that.
522
00:27:29,399 --> 00:27:32,319
I know, but you played yourself
into a corner on that one.
523
00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:36,365
It'll hold you until we find
an elegant way out of this.
524
00:27:36,365 --> 00:27:39,243
To them, the violence
is gratifying, confusing,
525
00:27:39,243 --> 00:27:41,828
and George's presence in it, intriguing.
526
00:27:41,828 --> 00:27:45,582
So you seem to be playing some
torturous mental game on everyone.
527
00:27:45,582 --> 00:27:49,086
So now, rather than look weak,
you look savvy.
528
00:27:49,086 --> 00:27:50,504
Huzzah.
529
00:27:50,504 --> 00:27:53,006
This has bought you time.
530
00:27:54,341 --> 00:27:56,468
I suppose so.
531
00:27:56,468 --> 00:28:00,180
The problem remains.
And the fucking mess remains.
532
00:28:04,184 --> 00:28:05,519
Elizabeth.
533
00:28:05,519 --> 00:28:06,854
Vinodel.
534
00:28:06,854 --> 00:28:09,439
We should talk about last night.
535
00:28:09,439 --> 00:28:10,649
Should we?
536
00:28:10,649 --> 00:28:12,276
Oh, did we...?
537
00:28:13,402 --> 00:28:15,654
You did things to me.
538
00:28:16,238 --> 00:28:18,740
I was a bit out of hand, to be honest.
539
00:28:18,740 --> 00:28:20,534
No permanent damage, I hope?
540
00:28:20,534 --> 00:28:24,413
I often find the injuries
from a torrid night,
541
00:28:24,413 --> 00:28:29,042
the lingering, slight pains,
it's quite pleasant for a few days after.
542
00:28:29,042 --> 00:28:31,211
You fired something in me,
543
00:28:31,211 --> 00:28:34,256
and when I look at you now,
I must have you again.
544
00:28:34,256 --> 00:28:37,593
I suggest immediately,
and possibly hourly after that.
545
00:28:37,593 --> 00:28:40,345
[sighs] Well, flattered, of course,
546
00:28:40,345 --> 00:28:43,390
but I really keep things like that
on a high rotation.
547
00:28:43,390 --> 00:28:46,560
A man, then a woman,
two men and a woman,
548
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,312
then something with wood.
549
00:28:48,312 --> 00:28:52,232
My own hand, in a forest setting,
an unwilling guard,
550
00:28:52,232 --> 00:28:55,485
and a serf touching themselves
as I eat cake.
551
00:28:55,485 --> 00:28:57,112
Maybe in a month or two.
552
00:28:57,112 --> 00:28:58,739
- I may just take you.
- Uh...
553
00:28:58,739 --> 00:29:00,199
- [punches]
- Oooh!
554
00:29:00,199 --> 00:29:02,743
Like I said, in a month,
555
00:29:02,743 --> 00:29:04,411
sweep my feet from under me
556
00:29:04,411 --> 00:29:07,206
and demand my compliance
with some hair pulling
557
00:29:07,206 --> 00:29:11,001
and a tongue dipped in black opium,
and we have a deal.
558
00:29:11,001 --> 00:29:13,045
I may be deeply in love.
559
00:29:14,463 --> 00:29:16,757
Not something I do.
560
00:29:20,761 --> 00:29:22,804
[coughing]
561
00:29:25,140 --> 00:29:28,227
Ooh. Not good.
562
00:29:39,988 --> 00:29:42,157
I've always wanted to talk to you.
563
00:29:42,157 --> 00:29:44,826
I have a weakness for a military man.
564
00:29:44,826 --> 00:29:47,788
Descriptions of battle make me giddy.
565
00:29:47,788 --> 00:29:49,957
Well, I don't... Yeah.
566
00:29:51,083 --> 00:29:53,544
Here you see a military man.
567
00:29:53,544 --> 00:29:56,338
And what a man.
568
00:29:56,338 --> 00:29:59,383
But I wish not to see you
as an object of lust,
569
00:29:59,383 --> 00:30:04,429
despite your manhood lingering
just below the lip of this water.
570
00:30:04,429 --> 00:30:08,141
- No, I--
- Now, I watched your Swedish campaign.
571
00:30:08,141 --> 00:30:10,435
How it drove our men mad.
572
00:30:10,435 --> 00:30:13,397
You often had them right where you wanted.
573
00:30:13,397 --> 00:30:14,773
I would've won that last battle if--
574
00:30:14,773 --> 00:30:17,401
if Catherine had not made
Peter make peace.
575
00:30:17,401 --> 00:30:21,905
You would've driven into Stockholm
and taken what and who you wanted.
576
00:30:22,948 --> 00:30:24,575
It fucking haunts me.
577
00:30:24,575 --> 00:30:27,202
It was mine, and I knew it.
578
00:30:27,202 --> 00:30:29,746
And to think I'll die without that victory
579
00:30:29,746 --> 00:30:33,750
makes me very fuckin' sad.
580
00:30:33,750 --> 00:30:36,211
I might've been the spoils of war.
581
00:30:38,714 --> 00:30:43,093
You could never be described as spoils.
582
00:30:43,093 --> 00:30:44,344
How could I be described?
583
00:30:45,554 --> 00:30:46,805
Luminous.
584
00:30:48,515 --> 00:30:50,517
Will you teach me about war?
585
00:30:50,517 --> 00:30:51,935
Of course.
586
00:30:51,935 --> 00:30:53,979
How to open someone's flank
587
00:30:53,979 --> 00:30:56,982
and split them down the middle
with a powerful drive?
588
00:30:56,982 --> 00:30:58,150
It excites me.
589
00:30:59,902 --> 00:31:02,654
And perhaps I don't
have a country anymore,
590
00:31:02,654 --> 00:31:04,656
but I can still have hobbies.
591
00:31:10,662 --> 00:31:12,414
It's good to meet you properly.
592
00:31:13,081 --> 00:31:14,333
It really is.
593
00:31:16,001 --> 00:31:18,879
- Good cock, by the way.
- Thanks, I...
594
00:31:23,926 --> 00:31:26,136
- How'd that go?
- What do you think?
595
00:31:27,596 --> 00:31:29,097
[singsong] Amazing.
596
00:31:30,516 --> 00:31:32,059
Five horses.
597
00:31:32,059 --> 00:31:34,978
Ah, and some food.
598
00:31:36,772 --> 00:31:39,399
Going riding, darling,
and taking some spares?
599
00:31:39,399 --> 00:31:43,195
Um... should I lie to you,
or do you know what I'm doing?
600
00:31:43,195 --> 00:31:44,571
You're going to break them out.
601
00:31:44,571 --> 00:31:47,032
Ah, they're my friends,
and she'll forgive me.
602
00:31:47,032 --> 00:31:48,825
The love between us is enormous.
603
00:31:48,825 --> 00:31:50,994
You know, she forgave me
for fucking and killing her mother.
604
00:31:50,994 --> 00:31:54,414
- She'll forgive me for this.
- Everyone has their breaking point.
605
00:31:54,414 --> 00:31:56,291
Well, mother-fucking is usually it.
606
00:31:56,291 --> 00:31:59,920
Except in some provinces
of Belorussia, that's largely true.
607
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:02,172
However, what does she want?
608
00:32:02,172 --> 00:32:04,132
Loyalty, from them.
609
00:32:04,132 --> 00:32:06,969
No, she doesn't want to be alone.
610
00:32:06,969 --> 00:32:10,722
Yesterday, she felt like a lone cloud
in a sky full of ravens
611
00:32:10,722 --> 00:32:12,015
who didn't speak cloud,
612
00:32:12,015 --> 00:32:15,602
and yet she thought the previous day
the sky was full of clouds.
613
00:32:15,602 --> 00:32:17,104
It's complicated imagery.
614
00:32:17,104 --> 00:32:19,690
She was as lonely as a human can be.
615
00:32:19,690 --> 00:32:23,443
Her love betrayed her,
her best friend lied to her,
616
00:32:23,443 --> 00:32:25,195
her team abandoned her,
617
00:32:25,195 --> 00:32:28,031
her philosophy broke
in a Turkish blood spray,
618
00:32:28,031 --> 00:32:31,159
and her reason collapsed
under the weight of it all.
619
00:32:31,159 --> 00:32:35,998
Her optimism, her arrogance,
her belief in humans as good.
620
00:32:35,998 --> 00:32:38,959
[exhales sharply]
Well, she did describe it as a bad day.
621
00:32:38,959 --> 00:32:42,671
And now, as she hopes
to put the pieces together somehow,
622
00:32:42,671 --> 00:32:44,923
you go and betray her again.
623
00:32:44,923 --> 00:32:47,301
I'm really not enjoying
this conversation.
624
00:32:47,301 --> 00:32:51,513
Shall I dance around a bit as we do it,
so it's more pleasing for you?
625
00:32:52,055 --> 00:32:55,267
- Aunt?
- We could do
with some lightness at court.
626
00:32:55,267 --> 00:32:58,270
Maybe she should all order us
to dance for a day.
627
00:32:58,270 --> 00:32:59,938
How wonderful.
628
00:32:59,938 --> 00:33:00,939
They're my friends.
629
00:33:00,939 --> 00:33:02,232
I can't watch them die,
630
00:33:02,232 --> 00:33:04,526
and she can't walk away from it
and let them go, we all know that.
631
00:33:04,526 --> 00:33:07,154
You'll make other friends.
People love you.
632
00:33:07,154 --> 00:33:08,655
Eh, that's true.
633
00:33:08,655 --> 00:33:10,574
There's only one her.
634
00:33:10,574 --> 00:33:12,034
Yes.
635
00:33:12,034 --> 00:33:14,161
I'm dancing away now,
having made my point
636
00:33:14,161 --> 00:33:16,788
in such a categorical
and devastating way,
637
00:33:16,788 --> 00:33:18,540
you can but smile at my wisdom,
638
00:33:18,540 --> 00:33:20,751
and eat the macaroon
I'm handing to you.
639
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,171
Hmm.
640
00:33:24,171 --> 00:33:26,465
Mm, fucking good macaroon.
641
00:33:26,465 --> 00:33:29,092
Sir? The horses.
642
00:33:31,303 --> 00:33:32,471
Mm.
643
00:33:40,562 --> 00:33:42,481
- Do you need me to stay?
- No.
644
00:33:44,650 --> 00:33:47,486
- Empress.
- Katya.
645
00:33:48,570 --> 00:33:52,908
So, I need to do something
about these prisoners, don't I?
646
00:33:52,908 --> 00:33:55,160
I thought you were coming to apologize.
647
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,870
[clicks tongue] I was.
648
00:33:56,870 --> 00:34:00,082
I just thought I'd lead
with the prisoners thing.
649
00:34:01,416 --> 00:34:02,835
Well?
650
00:34:02,835 --> 00:34:03,836
Oh.
651
00:34:05,295 --> 00:34:07,172
Yes, I'm sorry.
652
00:34:07,172 --> 00:34:08,632
For what?
653
00:34:10,634 --> 00:34:12,177
That I didn't kill him.
654
00:34:12,177 --> 00:34:13,804
That you couldn't kill him.
655
00:34:13,804 --> 00:34:15,264
That I won't.
656
00:34:22,229 --> 00:34:23,522
We made a pact.
657
00:34:26,817 --> 00:34:29,444
A blood oath, on this couch,
658
00:34:29,444 --> 00:34:31,947
and I briefly fainted
at the sight of blood.
659
00:34:31,947 --> 00:34:33,365
I remember.
660
00:34:37,035 --> 00:34:39,037
Can we find a way together?
661
00:34:39,037 --> 00:34:40,622
That is the question.
662
00:34:40,622 --> 00:34:42,124
Is he dead?
663
00:34:42,124 --> 00:34:43,792
- Orlo.
- Then we can't.
664
00:34:48,005 --> 00:34:52,134
It's funny, I escaped
his prison because of you,
665
00:34:52,134 --> 00:34:57,097
and you've walked right into it
singing a fucking happy tune.
666
00:34:57,764 --> 00:35:00,559
I thought you would be great change.
667
00:35:02,811 --> 00:35:07,191
But you're just a foolish, lovesick,
cock-whipped child.
668
00:35:10,277 --> 00:35:12,196
You make it hard, Orlo.
669
00:35:12,196 --> 00:35:14,072
I'm perhaps just sad.
670
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:17,284
I was blind to your faults.
671
00:35:19,453 --> 00:35:20,787
Yes.
672
00:35:22,789 --> 00:35:24,208
And I yours.
673
00:35:25,667 --> 00:35:28,003
I'm leaving a lot behind today.
674
00:35:30,547 --> 00:35:32,299
It seems it includes you.
675
00:35:48,023 --> 00:35:49,483
[indistinct chatter]
676
00:35:49,483 --> 00:35:51,109
You all right?
677
00:35:52,611 --> 00:35:53,946
I can't believe George shot her.
678
00:35:53,946 --> 00:35:57,199
Yeah, George saves herself,
that's George.
679
00:35:57,199 --> 00:35:58,742
She shot my wife!
680
00:35:58,742 --> 00:36:00,661
[cheering]
681
00:36:00,661 --> 00:36:02,788
Go home, you animals!
682
00:36:02,788 --> 00:36:04,331
[jeering]
683
00:36:09,211 --> 00:36:11,129
I really hate this day.
684
00:36:11,129 --> 00:36:13,590
If you hadn't shot your mouth off,
we'd be having sex in your apartment
685
00:36:13,590 --> 00:36:16,510
while your husband happily
plays marbles in the other room.
686
00:36:16,510 --> 00:36:19,179
- You're blaming me?
- Just because it's your fucking fault!
687
00:36:19,179 --> 00:36:21,598
[gasps]
Sorry, bit tense.
688
00:36:21,598 --> 00:36:22,933
Me too, sorry.
689
00:36:24,059 --> 00:36:26,019
What if she dies, Tatyana?
690
00:36:26,854 --> 00:36:29,731
My kids are fucking annoying.
I don't wanna have to bring them up.
691
00:36:29,731 --> 00:36:30,816
Touching.
692
00:36:33,861 --> 00:36:35,112
[kicks lackey]
693
