THE TERRIBLE

EPISODE SEVEN

CAIN AND ABEL

Shut up, shut up, leave me alone!

Majesty...

No more chronicles for today.

One more thing. It's important.
Write down the names I'm going tell you.

As... as you wish, my liege. Might I ask?

Will there be many names on the list?

There is no more paper.
Should I send for more?

A lot. Do send for more.
But first, write this down.

Pray for these people
during litany and mass

every day remember them
in the Church of our Lord!

Your Majesty! The Tsar's wish was
for you to read the Lives of Saints

and to excel at the art of reading.

He promised me a maid,
and here I am with a bookworm?

I will be your lady maid
as well, my lady.

Then serve me.

I will help you to get up
for as long as you wish me to.

Won't you break your spine, old woman?

I do hope not, my lady.
But we do have to read that book, though.

That is the will of our father Tsar.

You stubborn dimwit,

OK, read it to me but be quick about it.

This work is dedicated to a God-fearing,

virtuous, and God-blessed man...

Boring... I am bored to death
by the first sentence.

If the Tsar wants
to torture me with books,

please find an interesting one, at least.

I am not going to listen to this dull one.

What about ancient times
and foreign kings?

Virtuous men, royal men -
it's all the same to me.

Would you like to read
about the great Tsarina?

I am a Tsarina myself; I know all about it...

It's a story of great love and power.

Who is it about then?

It's about the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra
and the Roman Caesar.

OK, old woman. Bring that book of yours.

England is reporting
mutiny among its peasants.

They dare oppose the Queen.

How about that? Rebellion everywhere.

The English peasants
against the Queen, huh?

Vyazemsky. Find me a right man.

Send him to my sister, Queen Elizabeth,
with a translator.

Ask her if I can help
and take my letter to her.

Will do.

What else?

The King of Sweden, Johan,
was overthrown

by his own brothers who stole his crown.

Turkish merchants told us
about the Ottoman Court.

Hold on.

The King of Sweden has been dethroned
by his own brothers?

What is this ...

Find out everything you can
about that conspiracy

and tell me every single detail.

Yes, Your Majesty.
Would you like to hear other news?

No, that's enough for today.

Cleopatra knew
there was to be a sea battle.

But she did not care
who would win anymore.

She just cared about the best way
to flee, should she lose.

How cunning.

Your Majesty. Maybe, a little bit
from the Lives of Saints?

No! I want more about that queen.
There must be more books about her.

My lady, let us read something holy.
They will punish me otherwise.

Do you like it?

Very beautiful, my lady.

Take it.

Oh, I wouldn't dare, majesty.

But you dare refuse my gift?

I don’t dare, majesty.

Now tell me something
from the life of a saint

so that I remember most important parts
and can shine in front of my husband.

That is possible, my lady.

And then, find some more books
about that Egyptian queen.

Let’s read them.

This work is dedicated to a god-fearing,
virtuous, and God-blessed man...

Your Majesty.

What do you now, I just thought about you.

Yes, my lady?

I read something interesting today.
About Queen Cleopatra.

Did you know that men were willing to die
just to spend one night with her?

I think I did.

And do I deserve something like that?

Indeed.

Is it so...

I am not sure I understand you.

Oh, but you do.

Scared?

Only a fool wouldn't be.

Wait!

There is something I need to do, my lady.
A favor.

I need your help.

The stones will do some good.

The turquoise one will
tame the itching.

Someone is in a good mood today.

I am always in a good mood
when I am with you.

I was angry
that you prohibited fortune-telling.

I saw so much about you
and I don’t dare to tell you.

Silly stuff.

I saved my own father
by reading the omens.

This tale is known in my land.

Here we also have all kinds of tales.

I saw... a very rare omen.

Two trees crossing each other...

And what does it mean?

Fratricide.

Tell me, what do you know?

What do you know?

I know what I saw. I saw it clearly:

a brother plots
to kill his brother.

The younger one raises his hand over
his elder brother.

The younger attacks the elder, you say?

What if he is the Cain, not me?

And I am the innocent Abel.

Investigate Prince Staritsky.
Is he planning a rebellion?

Are there any shady people around him?

Yes, sire.

If I could have a talk
with him in the dungeons,

I could find out everything.

I'll cut your tongue
for this kind of talk.

He is my brother.
And who do you think you are?

For God’s sake forgive me, sire.

I just thought,
Since there is an investigation...

Until you have hard proof Staritsky
is guilty, not a hair should fall off his head.

Yes, sire. WE know other ways
of getting information.

Go to Staritsa. Ask around.

Treason always leaves a trail. Always.

STARITSA

Give way!

Oprichniki! The Oprichniki are coming!

I don't know!

- You'll tell me everything!
- Have mercy! I don't know anything!

- What for?
- Mercy! I don't know nothing!

Oh God, no!

Are you scared?

I think it's better to accept the punishment
than to live in fear. I am tired of fear...

Why, God, oh why? We are innocent!

Remember you told me
we were together in this.

Whatever lies ahead.

I know.

This is our land.

The Tsar gave it to us.
So feed the owners.

Hurry up, what are you looking at?

And as for the buckwheat,
the crops were bad.

Don't punish us, my lord,
the weather let us down.

Eat your buckwheat yourself.
I want meat! My people are hungry!

Oh, my lord, where will I get it from?
I only got a cow and a dozen chickens.

Kill the cow. Now.

Oh no.

My lord, please, no!

Go!

My lord! What about the children?

What if we want milk?
Let's leave it. It's our land, after all.

Till when? Huh?

If I die, do you think
it's going to be yours?

Who is going to drink that milk?
Value your dad. Look at that.

Quiet, quiet, It's OK. It's OK.

Malyuta.

You are here.
Have you come back from Staritsa?

I've done what I was asked.
And now I am back.

- What did you find out?
- Found out that

Staritsky is innocent.
They think he is a saint over there.

Is that what you are going
to tell the Tsar?

What else?

Well.

Too bad if someone else is asked
to handle this.

Wait prince, what are
you talking about? Why someone else?

Our Tsar knows is insightful.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked us
to investigate the conspiracy.

So, think about it.

You haven't found anything.
Does it mean there is nothing to find?

Or maybe you haven't tried hard enough.

Report.

Sire, I am here for just a day from Staritsa.

I apologize for the delay,
I need more time.

My lord, please stop!

We've just started.

You got so many bones. Where were we?

May 15th.

OK. May 16th.

Ah! I remember now!

That day some pilgrims came
from Jerusalem.

They brought some holy water as a gift.

And? What else?

I don't... don't remember!

Staritsky...

Staritsky... When the pilgrims left,

he gave the holy water
to his cook as a gift for his service.

I need details.

Were they alone?

Yes.

So how do you know it was holy water?

Like I said, the pilgrims came that day.

It could be a coincidence.

Did Staritsky say anything
when he gave away the bottle?

No, I didn't hear anything.

Go to Staritsa. Find the bottle.
I need to talk to the cook too.

Do I look like her?

Sorry, my lady, I didn't recognize you.

If you can relieve the guard
today and come... I'll be waiting.

I don't understand
what you are talking about.

OK, do it. Do it.

You think, I won't?

You can do it, yes. It's not hard.

But what will you tell the Tsar?
Why did you kill me?

Don't you need me anymore?

Send Vyazemsky away. He is a bad person.
He will bring much harm to us.

Cleopatra... the Queen of Egypt.
What are you reading, Maria?

What is all this?

Let's talk about that later.
But Vyazemsky...

On your knees.

- On your knees!
- I will not.

This is your place!

Why don't you love me anymore?

What makes you think I ever did?

Go away!

Oh no, my lady!

Go!

Everyone, get out of her way!

Oh God, she can get herself killed!

Open up!

Open up!

What do you want?

Grigory Lukyanovich,
I just wanted to ask...

What?

I know it is my duty as an oprichnik
to serve till I die.

But I just can't do it anymore.
I want to make pottery now.

- Why?
- Well...

my health is not great.

I am not as fast anymore.
And I can't shoot so well.

I can't serve the Tsar as I used to.
And I shouldn't do it if I can't.

Yeah. Health is a canny thing.
If you serve the Tsar, it’s true that

you should devote your life to it.

How are you going to make pottery
with those enormous hands of yours?

Basmanov and Vyazemsky
will see about it. Go ask them.

- They won't let me.
- If they won't, they won't.

Stop!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Hello, Cook. Go!

And they brought a basket of figs
to the Queen.

And there was a snake in there,
as the Queen demanded.

Cleopatra took the fig with her hand

and let the snake bite her.

And she lay dead on her golden bed.

My lady?

You should eat something.

It's the third day
and you are not eating or drinking.

And the doctors are worried.

My lady. My lady? My lady?

The doctor saw no signs of poisoning.

So, she died of natural causes then?

Yes, seems that way.

I think Afanasy Ivanovich did
a bad job investigating.

The lady was of sound health.
Why so sudden?

And we lost precious time.

Are you accusing... me?

You are too self-involved, my lord.

I think that we still
have a lot of enemies.

They are near.

Basmanov is right.

Sire, we need more
investigations, a lot more.

Mutiny is everywhere.
We need to check everyone.

Peasants, boyars. Everyone.

Then do it.

There's too much conspiracy.
So, send people everywhere.

Let's put an end to this.

Sweep them all out. Cleanse.

Pskov! Novgorod! Yaroslavl! Tver! Go!

Michail Kolychev and his three sons
Bulat, Semyon and Mina

were executed in Moscow.

In other cities prince Andrey Katyrev,
prince Fyodor Troekurov,

Michail Lykov and his nephew,
Voroshilo Dementyev,

and 26 other people
were beheaded.

Spring, the year 7077. May 2nd.

Give me some kvas.

Here you go, sire.

Go. I will send for you later.

Take the cook away.
I have finished with him.

And I have found
what I was looking for. Finally!

What is that?

The conspiracy.

I have put a stop to it!

See, the Tsar knew I would,
and I have proved myself useful to him.

You wanted to see me,
Afanasy Ivanovich?

What did Malyuta learn from the cook?

Staritsky gave him a bottle of poison.

And what for?

Did he tell?

Yes, to kill the Tsar.

To kill him?

And what do you think
about this yourself?

I think, the poor cook lied.

They carried him away
from Malyuta as if from hell’s caldron.

- What about the poison itself?
- Malyuta found a small bottle.

But everybody says
there is holy water in there.

So Malyuta has been
keeping it to himself.

Find him, steal the bottle
and bring it to me.

And then put it back.

Why?

You don't need to know that.

Why? If Malyuta finds out,
I am a dead man.

And you think I won’t?

The debt must be paid. Fair's fair.

Glad to see you, prince.
We've been waiting for you.

Follow me.

Where is your youngest daughter, Maria?
The children were invited!

She is not feeling well,
we left her at home.

OK then. Follow me.

This is very beautiful.

Tatar work.

Merchants bring
all kinds of things nowadays.

Recently, I bought a jewel box.

And they say it is made from ivory.
Elephant bone, that is.

You know elephants?

Bigger than a house!
Tusks as big as you and me.

They say it's violent.
It can trample you to death.

No.

I saw one once.

Its eyes are peaceful. Shy.

Sad even.

Talking about foreign weird things...

What is that? Do you recognize it?

Oh, that's holy water.

Some holy Pilgrims brought it
to me from Jerusalem.

I gave it to my cook
so that he could add it to the food.

And your cook was telling
a different story.

Not to food, but to honey.
To my honey.

This is poison.

And you want me dead.

Tsar, your oprichniki will force
people to admit to anything.

So, you are saying he lied?

He did. Or he was tortured so much
he would say anything.

Why would I kill you, brother?

You have tried many times. Brother.

I never wished you harm.
I love you, brother.

If you are so sure of your innocence,

drink this holy water from Jerusalem.

Your wish is my command.

I am sorry, my brother.

I was wrong to believe you were guilty.

That's quite alright, my brother.

They lied to me about you. They wanted
to make me to commit an awful sin.

I will punish them. You hear me?

Hey?

Do you hear me?!

- My dear, my love!
- Mum? Mum?

You killed him! Murdered!
You murdered him!

Oh God. Oh Lord. And you...
Can't I trust anybody?

Mourning him?

He lied to us both. To everyone.

He was evil.

Oh, God!

Renounce!

Swear to everything holy,
that you renounce the murderer.

And you will return home
with your children.

My love, my love, my dear.

You are a murderer,
you put the poison there. It was you!

I am begging you, renounce him.
Don't make me do this.

Never. I curse you to the end of time.

Children... Drink.

Drink, my dear, drink up.

Good girl.

Son? Drink!

Drink it, I said!

I curse you.

Yes?

The Tsar is asleep.
the doctor says he needs rest.

What is that? A memento?

It is also important evidence.

I am surprised
that Staritsky wanted to poison him.

Yeah? I warned the Tsar long ago.

Oh. You are...

- Shrewd.
- Yep.

Staritsky needed to be removed.
He posed a danger to our lord.

But he didn't want him dead.

That was a mistake.
And we are here to fix mistakes.

You are wise, Afanasy Ivanovich.

Who else knows this?

Just the two of us.

Why didn't you tell me?
I would have helped.

I didn't need your help.

I see. You wanted the Tsar
to see your efforts.

You warned him,
and it turned out that way.

Calm down. We are all in this together.

Yeah, but you are the one
hogging the attention.

What do you want from me?
The deed is done.

Staritsky's younger daughter was
taken away by someone at night, they say.

Where are my dad and my mum?

I won't let them hurt you,
remember that.

It's going to be alright, Maria.
Everything's well.

Fyodor Petrov-Afanasyev, Dmitry Yagin
and Semyon Losnimsky.

And also... There were also...

Whole cities...

Add those I forgot to name
or just said a number.

Lord our Savior knows their names.

Who is here?

Me, the sire. Malyuta.

I can't breathe.

We sent for a doctor.

My body is burning and my soul.
And it hurts so much.

Keep talking, maybe it'll help.

Why... Why so many deaths?

I see them in my dreams every night!

I've lost count...

We stopped the mutiny,
and it is for the greater good.

So much blood everywhere.
My fault.

The evil is done by your enemies.

They might be nearby.
Just let me - and I will stop them.

I will learn everything.
For you, to save you.

My lord, Afanasy Ivanovich.
I came to you in secret.

I beg of you,
let this talk be left between us.

Why so agitated?

Tell me, Malyuta. It's OK, you know me.

Conspiracy! Against you, lord.

Who is behind this?

It's scary to tell.
Your enemy is Alexey Basmanov.

That dog.

How do you know?

Him! Judas!

Truly a Judas.

We need to be ahead of Vyazemsky.

You know everything about him.

You've been serving the Tsar
together for a long time.

He can't be that innocent,
he must have made mistakes.

So many of them!
I will tell you - just let the Tsar know.

I will, but back me up.
He'll believe us if there are two of us.

Awful, sire.

They hide the guilty ones
from us for money.

They made us kill the innocent.
Their deaths were in vain.

So much blood on their hands!

Without me? I didn't know.
But didn't I order them?

Not you!
You just ordered to punish the traitors.

But I haven't named their main sin.

Yes?

Vladmir Staritsky, your brother.

Red-hot nails, a whip with hooks
and boiling water.

Straight away, Malyuta.

I told you everything, stop it.

You made the rules, Afanasy Ivanovich.

I am just following them.

You will suffer too. You will.

You will beg your torturer
to stop one day.

Mark my word.

I don't think so, Afanasyy Ivanovich.
We are very different people.

I serve him. I serve him
like a faithful dog. And I love it.

And you only serve yourself.

You think you are better than the Tsar.

That's the difference.

All has been decided, right?

Yes, Afanasy Ivanovich.

Then... end this.

I am begging you.

What is the most difficult thing
about absolute power?

You will answer before God
for everything you did with it.

What is a faithful servant?

It’s someone who is ready
to give up their life for the master

and take his sins upon themselves.

Sire, have mercy!

Mercy, please!
Don’t execute me for my father's sins.

Leave it, Fedka.

I've seen many people beg.
It won't help you.

Talking about yourself, Basmanov?
You have no mercy.

I might find some.

Mercy, my lord.

I've never wished you harm!
Let me prove it!

Stop with the wailing.

Let you prove it, huh?

OK then. Renounce your father.

I renounce him! I do!
As God is my witness, I renounce him.

So, he is not your father anymore.
He is just a traitor to you.

Yes.

Now, as an oprichnik, kill the traitor.

Give him a knife.

You scoundrel!

I renounce this Judas as well.
Let me fight him.

Nice, like father, like son.

Here is my word then.

Whoever wins... shall live.

So? What are you looking at, bastard?
Come at me!

Scared? Go!

Huh? You fool.

Who taught you how to fight?

I will destroy you.

I will strangle you with my bare hands.

Son!

Die!

Die, you bastard! Bastard!

Father!

Father... Father...

Done, sire.

He, who betrayed his father,
will betray anyone.

But I keep to my word.
Send him into exile.

Bogdan? Remember you
wanted me to let you go?

Go. I am in charge now.

Do I go to the sotnik now?

Give up your weapons and leave.

Thanks, Malyuta, I owe you one.

Tsar's orders.

Search all the people
who served Basmanov and Vyazemsky.

Every single one!

Thank you, God, for showing me the way.

Thank you for letting me punish
the truly evil traitors.

Thank you for giving me peace.
