Episode 6 Remember Me

Sergey!

What's the matter?

What are you doing here? Why didn't you leave?

Where's Sergey?

What do you want from her?

Do you want to use the boy to get the inheritance?

You nearly killed her!

This is crazy!

Unbelievable!

So she's alive...

Quiet!

Kidnapping!

- Would you do anything for money? - You don't know anything.

She's a snake. A cunning witch.

Maybe Gleb's death wasn't an accident.

And why do you even care about his widow and his child?

Sergey is my son.

Oh, I see.

Poor Gleb!

You're a good brother, I must say.

Although giving your background, I'm not surprised.

Now it's clear.

Gleb found out about the lover.

And she killed him.

She's a killer, Sergey.

She killed your brother.

You're out of your mind.

Where's Sergey?

- She won't leave you alone now. - This will be the end of your career!

Sergey, I'm here.

They invited me over and left me alone.

- Let's go. - I'm bored.

I want Mommy.

Is she sick?

She'll get better now.

Leave him.

Let him go.

Why didn't we figure it out before?

And what do we do with this now?

And what changed?

Lord!

Forgive me, Lord.

I've sinned against Thee.

I'm not asking for myself.

I'm asking for my son.

Lord, save him.

I'll repay you.

I'll start a new life.

Madam, they're here!

Mommy!

Sergey!

Sergey...

Sergey...

Are you okay?

Mommy, are you all right?

Uncles told me you're sick.

No, Sergey.

I'm fine.

I didn't like it there.

Don't let me go there anymore.

I won't.

I won't.

Will we go for a ride again?

Certainly, my friend.

We will.

I can't believe it.

They abducted the boy and nearly killed you.

No, they...

They have to pay for this.

Sergey!

Let's leave.

Don't leave me alone with them.

Let's go far away, where no one knows anything.

To the end of the world.

I can't leave now.

I know.

I know.

You'll continue your service.

We'll come with you.

You'll introduce me to court.

We'll get married.

I'll be a good wife to you.

Darya, you're tired. You need to sleep.

Please.

We'll talk about this tomorrow.

Promise.

Swear that you won't leave without us.

I swear.

And now you need to rest.

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Push! Push! Push!

Come on!

Do it!

Come on, come on!

One, two, three!

Yes!

Hey! Bring me wine!

Sergey!

Is that you, brother?

Saltykov!

What kind of a friend are you? You're here and didn't let me know!

Sergey!

- Hello! - Hi!

Pour us something to drink.

They say you're at court now.

Sort of.

Here's the thing...

Sergey...

Put in a good word for me with the empress.

I want to go to the capital so much.

I'm sick of Moscow with its pies and turnips.

I want to go to court, Sergey.

- Help me, friend. - Okay, I'll do what I can.

- Do you promise? - I do.

Thank you.

Thank you, Sergey.

Vivat!

This calls for a celebration.

Let's go play!

Naryshkin goes to court!

Naryshkin, I don't play anymore.

I have other things to do.

Besides, I'm never lucky.

Okay.

You don't have to play if you don't want to.

But you can watch others play.

Sergey!

Sergey, dear, long time no see! You've forgotten us.

Come in, gentlemen, please.

Come in.

Today, Saltykov will play!

Hang in there, guardsmen!

Hi! Long time no see!

Sergey! Where have you been?

Six years, and not a word!

You know what they say about him?

I know who he is.

Hadn't I brought him here, you wouldn't have met at all.

Mister Saltykov!

You're a scoundrel.

Did you hear it?

Are you ready to answer for your words?

Do you doubt it?

Then I challenge you.

Gentlemen, come on! Make peace.

The second will come to you in the morning.

If you don't run away.

As you usually do.

You're a coward, Saltykov.

Sergey!

Gentlemen! Saltykov is not worthy to be called a nobleman.

He's not a man of his word.

Sergey, tell me, how's your wife doing?

You're married, or am I wrong?

Who are you?

Sylvia's brother.

Do you know what happened to her?

Sylvia...

She wrote me a note and left. That's all I know.

She loved you.

She was willing to do anything for you.

She told me you got engaged.

You humiliated her.

What the hell? That's ridiculous!

She killed herself!

She's gone!

And so is the record of your marriage.

You'll pay for this!

Wait! I'm sorry, but I have nothing to do with what happened to her.

Or do you want money?

Sergey, stop!

Calm down!

Stop! You'll kill him!

Saltykov!

You killed him.

Sergey...

You killed him.

Gentlemen, he killed him.

She loved you.

She was willing to do anything for you.

She killed herself!

She's gone!

And so is the record of your marriage.

You'll pay for this!

Please do what you can, Governor.

And we'll hope for the best.

He's our nephew after all.

Well, well, well...

What a family...

One nephew is dead.

Another one is going to prison.

And that snake is getting away with our money.

Well, let's hope that Sergey loves his freedom more...

Look at me, Sergey.

Do you realize what you have done?

For this, people are sent to Siberia in shackles.

Leave us for five minutes please.

All right...

We've got it covered.

But you'll have to help us.

No.

No, no way.

Why?

Isn't there any other way?

No.

And it's largely due to you.

But let's not talk about this, Sergey.

We're a family.

- You have to do it. - Why me?

Because she's dangerous.

Think about your future, Sergey.

I'm not a killer!

Really?

And who are you?

Madam! We did everything you asked. All is packed.

Okay.

Madam!

A note for you.

Why didn't he come?

Go.

Sergey?

Why did you send a note?

Why didn't you come?

We're ready. We can leave at any time.

Won't you say anything?

Did you change your mind?

I got a letter.

I have to leave for Smolensk, and I don't know when I'll come to Saint Petersburg.

I'll come with you.

Please don't leave without me.

Don't leave me alone with them.

Sergey...

Sergey...

Sergey...

Sergey...

Why are you so quiet?

Why are you quiet?

You're lying.

You're lying.

I see that you're lying.

I see that you're lying.

You always lie to me!

I won't let you go alone.

I won't let you go.

I'll come with you.

If you don't want to marry me, I'll be your lover.

Listen to me.

It's best if I go alone.

I'll go alone, and then I'll come back.

And we'll do as we decided. Do you hear me?

I have to go alone. Trust me, this is for the best.

I have to go alone, and then I'll come back.

I'll come back, and we'll do as we decided.

- You're not coming back! - Calm down. Please.

- You're not coming back, I know. - Please calm down.

Please... Please...

Please, I'm begging you.

Calm down. Calm down please.

Trust me. Just trust me.

Okay. It's okay.

I'll come back.

Trust me.

Do you trust me?

My darling...

You'll wait for me.

Will you?

You'll wait for me.

And I'll come for you.

I'll come for you.

You just...

Let's sit down before I go.

My little girl...

My baby...

I'll get us some wine.

I don't want anything.

I don't need anything.

I only need you.

Only you.

I need a drink.

Be careful.

Don't get them mixed up.

Pull yourself together.

No, I can't. I can't!

Ask her what she did to Gleb.

She'll tell you.

Ask her.

And it'll be easier.

Trust me, nothing has ever been as hard for me as this.

No one has ever loved me like you do.

And I've never loved anyone...

Yes.

I've never loved anyone so much.

Did you kill Gleb?

- Yes. - Why?

I wanted us to be together.

Don't you feel any remorse?

Wouldn't you do the same if you were in my place?

What would you do for me?

Trust me, what I'm doing now...

I'm doing for you.

Let's drink to our farewell.

Just know that whatever happens...

I'll always remember you.

Of course you will.

Cheer up.

You saved her demented sinful soul.

We had no other choice.

Leave me alone please.

Sergey!

You did the right thing.

You shouldn't blame yourself.

You must be strong.

You must think about your future. You must...

Don't tell me what I must do! I did everything you wanted!

What else do I owe you?

What do I owe you all?

Leave me alone!

Leave it.

Master, and what should I do with this?

Leave me. I'll be down in a minute.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Oh my God!

Madam!

Poison.

I'm dying.

Sergey...

Lord have mercy!

What a tragedy. What does she have?

Pneumonic plague.

Lord have mercy!

Should we call for a wise woman or a priest?

She needs a prayer.

Are you out of your mind?

Do what you're told and keep your nose out of it.

Wait downstairs.

My dear, there's nothing we can do to save her.

Have you heard what the doctor said?

She's very sick.

And you're doing great.

You serve this family faithfully.

Go downstairs.

Gather all the servants. We need to tell everyone.

Let's take the boy with us. Where's he?

Hold on. We'll take him when it's over.

We have more important things to do.

Mommy! Mommy!

Mommy, how are you?

How are you, Mommy?

Uncles are here. I'm scared.

Mommy, I don't want to go with them.

You promised me that you'll be fine.

Mommy!

Mommy!

- It's good it's you. - Master!

- Let's go. - I'm scared.

Let's go. Let's go.

Come in, master.

Sit here for a while.

I need to go somewhere.

I'll be back by noon.

Just be quiet.

No one must see you.

Keep away from the mistress.

This is a highly contagious disease.

Good Lord, what happened to her?

She was giving charity to the poor.

And was punished for her generosity.

What will happen to us?

You'll go back to Troitskoye.

I've made arrangements.

A carriage will come to pick you up.

And don't give her anything to drink.

I'll be over by noon.

Bury her in a closed casket.

I'll write a report.

No one's going to check.

I'm happy to help.

If you need anything else.

It's bad. Really bad.

She's very sick.

She might die.

I wouldn't mind.

She'll kill me if she remembers.

What are you talking about?

Who will own you if she dies?

You think you have a bad life?

You've never seen bad.

Who will own you?

Or worse, they'll send us to the auction.

Pray day and night.

Pray for the mistress from morning till night.

And you...

If you don't want to pray, at least don't anger me.

I'll be keeping an eye on you.

Water..

Don't let anyone in.

When she dies, send for us at once.

We'll make arrangements.

Understand, silly?

Keep out and don't give her water.

Water!

Are you here?

I need your help.

What happened that made you rush over here?

My mistress was poisoned.

She's dying.

- Describe it. - She's pale. Wheezing.

Can't breathe.

They said not to give her water.

When did it happen?

Last night.

When we got back.

You don't have much time.

Wait here.

Water.

Give me water.

Water.

Water.

Water.

Give me water.

Water.

Give me water.

Please Lord, save my Mommy.

Please.

Please save my Mommy.

Lord...

Lord, dear, save my Mommy.

Don't take her away, please.

Lord, please save and protect your servant Darya.

Lord, have mercy.

Lord, have mercy.

Lord, have mercy.

Lord, dear, please save my Mommy.

Rest the soul of your servant Darya and forgive all her sins.

Our Father.

Who art in heaven.

Hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses.

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not...

Thank God!

The witch didn't trick me.

The potion worked. It worked.

What happened?

You've been hanging between life and death for two days.

They are arranging a funeral service.

And the wagon has arrived from Troitskoye to pick up the servants.

The wagon from Troitskoye is good.

That's good.

Pack Sergey's things.

We're leaving.

Where are we going?

Where we'll be safe and no one will see us.

- Are they coming? - No, only Avdotya.

They get scared too easily.

- I don't want to go! - Sergey!

- I don't want to go! - Come here.

I don't want to!

Listen to me.

Listen.

We have to go.

We have to go. Trust me.

Everything is ready, madam. We can go.

And where's Aksinya?

Mommy, look, it's so different from the city.

It's like the park where we rode horses.

Remember?

Will uncle Sergey visit us again?

He's kind and brave.

I liked him very much.

Doctor said she wouldn't last a day.

And it's been two.

Patience, brother.

Patience.

We need to order an obituary.

For the newspaper.

And think of where to send the boy.

Take off your hat.

Well, hello there!

Master is here!

Master is here!

Darya Nikolayevna, my lady, I'm Ignat Fedotov.

I've been managing the household for the last 17 years.

I can tell you honestly.

Troitskoye is thriving.

The serfs are healthy and work hard.

They pay their rent diligently.

They worship God.

You're our mistress now.

So treat us all like your own children.

Oh my God!

Ivan!

You're mistaken, Aksinya.

It's our new stoveman, Christof.

You'd better look at your Andrey.

He's been waiting for you.

We pray for late Gleb Andreyevich every day.

But the problem is that the church burned down.

Okay, okay, later.

As you command, madam.

Let us express our deepest respect and offer our condolences.

We're all in great grief.

I can see that.

I see you live happily.

Don't be angry, madam.

Don't be angry.

People are like that here.

They are used to freedom.

The late master only needed the rent.

They'll have to forget about it.

Your freedom is over.

You'll be taking orders from her now.

How's that, madam?

An uneducated woman.

I've known your late husband since he was a child.

- He trusted me. - Avdotya will assist you.

Sergey, let's go.

As you command, madam.

As you wish.

Aksinya!

That's it, Sergey.

This is our home now.

Get used to it.

- Mommy! - Yes.

I've seen a ghost.

Our coachman Ivan.

They said he died, but he's here.

I'm scared, Mommy.

Don't be, honey.

They all look alike.

You're mistaken.

So it's not him?

No.

Of course not.

Will uncles come here?

I don't want them to come.

This is our fortress.

They won't dare to give orders here.

I'll take care of it.

Fedot, come help me.

What do you think, how will it be with the new mistress?

How would I know?

I hope she won't be too strict.

It'll be bad, I can feel it.

She's thin as a rake and cold as a grave.

Don't be a worrywart.

What do you know?

Don't be afraid, girls.

We'll deal with her.

Did you see how she looked at me?

She must be hungry for a man.

What?

Enough of your jibber-jabber.

Don't you have work to do?

I'll give you some then.

It's all joy and laughter for you.

Mistress is in mourning.

Don't let me ever see you sneering.

Okay, you...

You, you, and you...

To the stable. I have a job for you.

Don't just stand here and look at me.

It's madam's order.

Does this mean that a woman is in charge now?

This has never happened before.

To you, she's a woman, but she's aunt to me.

Right, Aunt Avdotya?

To some, I'm aunt, and to you, I'm Avdotya Ilyinichna.

What I said goes for you, too.

Did everyone hear madam's order?

I'm her right hand now.

Avdotya! Are you out of your mind?

You're one of us.

Why do you act like a mistress?

Don't cross me, Natalya.

I'll look past it this time, but next time I won't let it go.

And you go to the maids' room. We'll find some work for you.

Stop wagging your tongues.

Hey!

Is anyone here?

Who's there?

- Where's everyone? - I'm coming.

It's you.

I'm sorry, gentlemen. I didn't recognize you.

What's going on here? Where's your mistress?

Darya Nikolayevna went to her estate.

She told me to get rid of everything.

Well, it's understandable.

It's hard for her, you know..

Get out!

As you wish.

What do you say, brother?

We hit a dead end.

The snake has slipped away.

So that's the news.

We all have to work day and night from now on.

I see.

We only need to crouch our backs and sweat blood.

But how is that, Ignat Fedotych?

All the girls and boys are in the house.

Who's going to chop wood?

Who's going to work in the field?

I don't like it too, but what can I do?

Do the work myself?

It's madam's order.

We have to obey.

That's it. You can go now.

Get down, kids.

Come on, let me help.

Wait, Natalya.

What?

Whose kids are those?

Mine and Grusha's.

I was told to bring the cook's kids to the house.

What does she need the kids for?

They'll only get in the way.

They are fine here.

Madam is afraid someone will poison her.

That's what she came up with.

That the kids must taste all food that comes to the table.

Because the cook won't poison her children.

Oh my God!

Looks like she's out of her mind.

Quiet!

How would I know what's wrong with her?

Who knows with the fine folks?

I have doubts about our own people.

Watch it.

So? Let's go.

Let's go.

Look at you. You got yourself all dirty.

Who are you?

Nastya.

Nastasya.

Master gave her a room here.

She speaks French.

And was taught manners.

Why does a servant live in the manor house?

Don't be mad at me, for Christ's sake.

It was the order of late Gleb Andreyevich.

She's his daughter.

And who's her mother?

I am.

What?

I am, madam.

Stand up, I can't hear what you're saying.

From his youth...

They used to send me to him when he was a boy, around fifteen.

He was always eager to have it.

I worked in the house.

And his mother made me serve him.

He was pleased with me.

And when he went to Moscow...

I gave birth to Nastya.

That's funny.

Gleb Andreyevich was kind to her.

When he found out about her, he took her to the house.

And took me to the city with him.

And what it was like for you to send other girls to him?

It was his will.

If she's as smart as you...

She may stay.

Thank you, madam.

She'll be Sergey's nanny.

But take her things out to the maids' room.

She has lived in the manor house enough.
