Episode 2 Nun

There used to be a portrait here.

Where is it?

Madam, no one has been there for a long time.

I can tell the maids to clean it all up if you wish.

Leave me alone please.

Why did you neglect my gift?

You told me it was my choice.

I chose my mother's dress.

Let's go. We'll be late.

The eldest of the Rostopchin sisters is rather pretty.

She's mine, Naryshkin.

And the youngest Golitsyna too.

You're so bad!

Have you no shame, gentlemen?

Have some shame.

Sergey, please...

Nikolay Avtonomych Ivanov with his daughter.

Nikolay Avtonomych!

I can't believe it!

Welcome!

What's the matter with you, my dear?

You never go out.

And you've been hiding such a beauty from us.

Yeah.

Come on in please.

Come in please.

We haven't seen you for a while.

May I present our daughters.

They graduated from a finishing school.

Darya Nikolayevna, please come to visit us.

You'll surely make friends.

Nikolay Avtonomych, let's leave the girls and go grab a drink.

Look, she's so weird.

She doesn't even wear gloves.

They say that her father locked her away from suitors in a convent.

Scandal!

Hello!

Sergey Saltykov.

May I have the dance?

Saltykov?

Yes.

I can't dance.

Don't worry.

I'll lead.

She's stepping all over his feet.

Poor Sergey!

He's so cute.

Where have you been before?

It doesn't matter.

I'm here now.

That's unacceptable!

So daring!

What a scandal!

Well, where's the bride?

I hope she's not too ugly.

Gleb!

Nikolay Avtonomych, Darya Nikolayevna, let me introduce our nephew.

Gleb Andreyevich.

Darya Nikolayevna.

I've heard so much about you.

I was expecting...

I'm really pleased to meet you.

I'm happy... Glad...

What a couple, isn't it?

Sergey, you're already here?

Please meet our future in-laws.

May I introduce our nephew Sergey Saltykov, Gleb's second cousin.

He's in the military.

Congratulations are due, Sergey.

We've announced an engagement.

Darya Nikolayevna is engaged to be married.

What a surprise.

Congratulations.

Gleb would consider it an honor to dance with his fiance.

Yes, Darya Nikolayevna, please.

Young people now love dancing.

And I think that all these novelties and foreign shenanigans...

Let's leave our lovebirds to it and go talk business.

Pyotr Petrovich, look after the kids.

That's really a surprise.

If you neglect family visits, everything is a surprise to you.

That's not fair. She is too good for my cousin.

I wouldn't mind marrying her either.

Sure. No one would mind such a wealthy wife.

Even if she was ugly.

People marry not only for money.

Look at you marrying only for love.

Stop blaming me, uncle.

Don't we all make mistakes when we're young?

Mistakes?

Did I hear you right?

Didn't you say that you saved an innocent soul from disgrace?

That's so reckless of you.

You'll be lucky if we avoid the scandal.

I hope you stopped gambling.

Sergey, please, don't make any more mistakes.

We still need to deal with your old sins. And do it fast.

I'll sort it out, as I promised.

I'm waiting.

I don't want to dance any more.

If you'll excuse me, I've got to go.

We seem to have agreed on everything.

We'll have the wedding at once.

And here are our lovebirds.

The bride seems upset.

Darya Nikolayevna!

Darya Nikolayevna.

Do you promise me the next dance?

That's enough for today.

We're leaving.

Please excuse us.

You could've been nicer to our future in-laws.

Inexperienced?

Or crazy?

Or is she playing with me?

Let's the hope for the first.

Are you stuck? Move!

Let's go.

Follow me, gentlemen!

God, such an ugly sight!

Saltykov!

My friend, the sisters are mad at you for leaving without saying goodbye.

Just so you know.

Okay, let's go to Egupov.

We'll be playing cards, and we can't manage without you.

Naryshkin, let's do it some other time.

You need to make up for your losses.

I told you I'll pass.

Pass! Compass!

Was ist das?

As you wish. Follow me, gentlemen!

Oh my God, poor fellow! Such a bad luck.

Our God, our hope, glory to Thee.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Father, bless.

May Christ, our true God, have mercy on us and save us.

In that He is gracious and loves mankind.

Quiet, quiet.

Mommy!

It's me, Mommy.

Mother.

Hold on.

Hold on.

What have they done to you?

Darya?

What are you doing here, my child?

I was looking for you, Mother.

Pray, my daughter.

You have to accept what your father wants.

Otherwise, it's a sin.

You'll burn in hell.

You can only be saved through prayer.

And what's it like to be saved?

To be chained up in the basement?

I saw her.

That's my mother, right?

- Quiet. - Who was pronounced dead.

You need to let it go.

That's God's will.

Did God tell you to lock a person in the basement like a wild animal?

Quiet.

We had to do it. Be quiet.

Your father had to make this terrible forgery.

To protect you.

She didn't turn to God.

She didn't accept the salvation.

Her condition deteriorated. There was nothing we could do. Let it go.

She's my mother.

She's a murderer.

- Let it go. - Let what go?

That you took my mother away from me?

That you tortured me?

I was wrong.

It didn't go away.

It's back. I can't believe it.

You can't leave.

You need to stay here.

And when I wanted it the most, why didn't you stand up for me?

There's no going back.

I can't let you go.

You can't control yourself.

I can't let you go.

You'll hurt your fiance.

You'll do a lot of harm, I can feel it.

What do you want?

You're not here for communion.

You didn't even touch the wine.

I'm full and can't take another sip.

Let it go!

Have you no cross?

To each their own, Mother.

The Lord's servant Gleb marries the Lord's servant Darya.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

The Lord's servant Darya marries the Lord's servant Gleb.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Oh our Lord...

I betroth them in glory and honor.

Oh our Lord...

I betroth them in glory and honor.

Oh our Lord...

I betroth them in glory and honor.

What are you looking at?

Stop it!

Get off, I'm telling you!

I'm sorry for the delay.

He's a deaf and dumb halfwit.

But so strong he can pull any carriage out of a ditch.

- I'll... - Don't.

Kind and merciful...

You're an angel.

Hurry up, lazybones!

They may arrive from the church any minute now.

Okay.

So, Darya Nikolayevna, this is your new home.

Welcome!

Hello! God bless you.

My name is Avdotya, madam.

Love and peace to you.

Our mistress doesn't seem to friendly.

She gave me such a cold look.

And did you notice how our master looks at her?

He can't take his eyes off her.

Stop wagging your tongues!

The wagon arrived from the village.

Ivan, get the barrel and roll it to the house.

Yes, this one.

Hello!

I brought the supplies.

Hello, hello, good to see you.

Take the baskets to the cellar.

So tell me... What's the news?

Same old.

Thank God. The manager send his regards to the master.

Anything for me?

He drew up a paper for you.

- Give it to me. - Here.

If you want to tell him anything, I need to be back by morning.

Grishka!

Do you have anything for me?

Sure.

Andrey didn't forget you.

This is for you.

Not only masters get presents.

Grishka!

Thank you so much!

Tell Andrey I think only about him.

Let him have no doubt.

I'm saving myself for him.

- Thank you! - I'll tell him.

Look how she's blushing!

He's waiting for you.

It's my wedding gift to you.

Darya Nikolayevna...

Darya...

Finally we're alone.

I'm burning up.

My wife...

Darya... Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid. I'll do it myself.

I'll do everything myself.

Everything, Darya.

Don't be afraid.

Darya... I'll do it myself.

It won't happen.

What?

It won't happen.

How?

Are you rejecting your lawful husband?

That's unacceptable.

Let the wife fear her husband.

You pleased your relatives, and that's it.

You!

Nun...

Nun...

Can I get you anything, master?

Bring me some tea.

Tea?

At once, master.

Master.

A wagon came from Troitskoye.

They send you their regards.

They are all happy for you.

I've been thinking, maybe you can attend to our matter tonight?

It's been a while.

Here.

The manager drew up the papers.

You just have to sign it.

Today is a special day for you.

Do me a favor.

Please forgive me master.

You've done so much for me.

But you know how loyal I am.

I pray for you night and day.

Night and day I pray for you.

Stupid woman! How dare you!

Bring me my tea! Now!

Are you deaf?

At once, master.

At once.

Come here.

- Why? - Don't be afraid.

Master...

- Master... - Take off your shirt.

Master, what are you doing? I have a fiance.

I'm saving myself for him.

What can I get you, madam?

Tell the coachman to bring firewood.

It's cold here.

Thank me and get out.

Thank you, master.

What a wedding night!

He's with the maid, and she asks for the coachman.

Quiet!

Go to bed.

The masters might need something.

I'll call you then.

See how Avdotya wants to please the new mistress.

Come in.

Come.

You're really deaf.

Come here.

Good boy.

Is master mean to you?

You'll serve me.

Me.

I knew you would come.

I didn't want to keep you waiting.

I knew it but didn't believe it.

You're crazy and drive me crazy.

Weren't you afraid?

Who should I be afraid of?

If only of myself.

I've never met anyone like you.

They must be lying that you're a nun.

They must be lying that you're a playboy.

You're mine.

Only mine.

- I want no one else. - You bewitched me.

Why did they marry me to this loser?

Why not to you?

You underestimate him.

Sergey!

Would you marry me?

Sergey!

Sergey!

I'm sorry, I thought it was my husband.

And you...

Who are you?

My husband isn't at home if you came to see him.

It's time we meet each other, madam.

Sergey is busy.

Let me introduce myself...

Nikolay Petrovich Saltykov.

And this is my brother.

Pyotr Petrovich.

So we are your relatives.

Nice to meet you.

Silvia Marioni.

I mean Saltykova.

Madam, we're here to warn you about the danger you're in.

Both of you.

Where's Sergey? What happened?

I regret to inform you that the authorities found out about your marriage.

The marriage between a Catholic and an Orthodox, registered secretly.

I warned Sergey.

I was willing to convert to your faith. I was willing to wait.

Calm down.

You can't take back the past.

Sergey is young, passionate, and reckless.

Sergey did a noble thing, I don't doubt it.

But was he aware of the consequences?

And now he's arrested by the Secret Office.

He's facing a death sentence.

No! No!

You're in danger too.

You need to leave.

No! No way.

Yes, my dear.

This is the only way you can save your life.

And this is the only way you can save Sergey.

But how can I help him by running away?

Guardsmen will be here any minute now.

They won't follow you.

And maybe we'll be able to snatch Sergey out of their hands.

What are you doing?

What's the matter, my dear?

Aksinya, come on!

Come on!

What are you doing?

Come down, sweetheart.

Come on, come on.

Come down.

What are you doing?

Bitch!

What the hell are you doing?

It's better to go to bed with him than to hell.

Think about your soul!

Use your head.

Master will get fed up soon, and you'll go back to the village.

I'm not going back!

And who will ask you?

Who's going to ask you?

It's okay.

You'll get used to it.

It's always like this at first.

And then you get used.

What kind of person are you?

You have a heart made of stone.

When you live as long as I do, you'll know.

Sergey Saltykov, an Orthodox, and Jeanne Du Bois, a French Catholic.

That's it.

We sent the girl away.

The record of marriage is destroyed.

The bastard is clean like a baby.

Yeah, this problem is solved.

Now we can arrange Sergey's future before he gets into more trouble.

Madam.

Would you like...

I've got to go.

When will we meet again?

What are you doing here?

I was waiting for you, madam.

You told me you were cold, so I was watching the stove.

Master put you in charge for a reason.

What do you want, cunning woman?

Do you love money?

Who doesn't, madam.

All right.

Master sleeps soundly all through the night.

Sweet dreams to you too, madam.

I'm here if you need me.

Who the hell is there?

Master told me not to let anyone in.

I'm not...

Sergey, what's that?

He won't...

Get out of here!

I had to slap him.

I hope he's not mad.

He wouldn't let me see my best friend, can you believe it?

Sergey.

I'm sorry it's so late.

I'm just for...

Sergey, you had a woman here?

Sergey, you had a woman here.

- Naryshkin... - You had a woman here.

You had a woman here!

Let me sleep. And you should too.

Wait! We need to talk.

It's an urgent matter.

Okay. What do you want?

Well, you see...

I've run rather short.

I'm sorry for reminding you.

But seven grand is no joke.

Come on, I'll pay you back.

When?

Naryshkin, you know me.

I'm waiting for the manager to bring me the rent. As soon as he comes...

I've heard it all before.

And maybe there's no rent?

No manager?

I don't have money now.

- I don't have them. - Sergey!

Listen...

And maybe you'll make up for your losses?

- Let me in, I'm telling you. - I'm not allowed.

It's an urgent matter, I'm telling you.

Tell me, and I'll pass it.

What's going on, Tikhon?

How could she escape?

She couldn't. I know for sure.

Someone helped her.

But who?

The Holy Synod is convened...

To discuss the death of the Mother Superior of the Znamensky Convent.

- Was she sick? - They say she jumped out of the window.

And when they found her, her eyes were put out.

It must be some evil spirit.

Lord, save and protect us.

No eyes.

Does that ring any bells to you, brother?

Sergey, it's good that you came. Have dinner with us.

Thank you, I'm full.

Silvia, my wife...

Is this your doing?

Sit down.

I told you I would sort it out.

Then why didn't you, if I may ask?

You should be grateful instead of complaining.

What did you tell her?

- How did you force her to leave? - Force?

Why would we?

Sit down. Let's talk.

She wanted money.

She was blackmailing us.

Nasty woman! We hardly managed to pay her off.

She wanted to tell the whole city about you.

Right before Gleb's wedding.

How's that for a gift?

You should be happy.

You're such a fool.

So, Darya Nikolayevna?

How was your night?

How did you sleep in the new place?

I appreciate your asking, Gleb Andreyevich.

I've been wondering...

Why did you spend so many years in the convent?

I need time, Gleb Andreyevich.

I'm not used to the worldly life.

Then why didn't you go to the church today?

Madam!

Master! I'm awfully sorry.

I brought bad news.

Your father is dying.

He had a stroke.
