1
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:14,960
Amazing!

2
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,760
I am indeed! What's the score now?

3
00:00:17,839 --> 00:00:20,440
427 to 309.

4
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:22,480
- Whose is which?
- I can't remember.

5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,160
I love this. This is so fun.

6
00:00:27,239 --> 00:00:29,160
- We should have more fun.
- Agreed.

7
00:00:29,239 --> 00:00:32,119
Because fun is fun, and surprising.

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,200
Like you are surprising.
I had no idea you were fun.

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,799
Nor I you.

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,399
I always thought
you were a monstrous slut.

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,640
But now we see each other,
and it is dazzling and wonderful.

12
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:42,799
And what a time we have had!
And also...

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,039
Oh, my God. I have so many thoughts
going on right now.

14
00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:47,520
I can see it in your face.

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,159
I'm imagining bullets
exploding in your head.

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,679
- That is what it is like.
- Thankfully, only in metaphor.

17
00:00:52,759 --> 00:00:56,079
What if the Enlightenment was fun?
The ideas.

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,880
My mind just exploded.
It's brilliant!

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,519
The court see it as dull.
The peasants see it as unintelligible.

20
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:06,799
And the merchants... Who knows
what those greedy fucks think?

21
00:01:06,879 --> 00:01:09,280
But if it was fun,
they may connect with it in a new way.

22
00:01:09,359 --> 00:01:12,079
- And they would see me as fun.
- And they would not hate you.

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,400
They do not hate me.

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,319
I'm kidding with you!

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,760
Fun!

26
00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:22,280
Drinks.

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,280
To be serious for a moment,

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,439
they do hate me out there.

29
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:38,239
There are peasants, faces like
squashed potatoes, hating me,

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,760
face-fucking dolls of me,
riled up by Pugachev.

31
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,480
- And you know what?
- It scares you?

32
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,920
It makes me fucking hate them,

33
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,159
and like I could boil them alive
in my rage.

34
00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:48,519
Gosh!

35
00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:50,920
But that is not a thought for today,
for today is fun.

36
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,840
Let us put our heads together.

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,239
Literal, but I love it.

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,200
This is my idea.

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,319
They are apparently inventing
a thing called a train.

40
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,640
We build one,
we go to the region Pugachev is in, and--

41
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:07,000
- Kill him?
- No!

42
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:08,719
That is what they want us to do.

43
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,159
We stop in every town,
we play badminton,

44
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,479
and we discuss the Enlightenment,
as we do, in a fun way.

45
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,439
And then you suck one peasant's cock
in each town

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,439
to show we feel they are not beneath us.

47
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,919
- And I suck a peasant's cock?
- I can do it too. We could take turns.

48
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,199
The train is the problem,
as it is not yet existing.

49
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,439
I see. I see.
What could we do today in court though?

50
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:35,280
Yes. Today is more important.

51
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,680
What if we could have a fun day at court?
A festival of plays, ideas.

52
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:46,240
Yes! Everyone must tell jokes and dance
and fucking quote Voltaire backwards

53
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:48,240
and eat kumquats
from each other's mouths!

54
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:51,840
We will call it...
something fucking good.

55
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,319
The Festival of Truth, Jokes
and Stunningly Clever Ideas.

56
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,759
- Love it!
- I love how focused you are.

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,000
You only see the future
and what you need to do.

58
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,400
You are fucking amazing!

59
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,080
Why, thank you.

60
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:06,000
Look at me. I fucking love you.
You have changed me.

61
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,840
You have torn out the old George

62
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,400
and dumped her compliant body
and mind on the side of the road

63
00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:11,919
and made me new!

64
00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:15,199
It's funny you once ate my pussy,
isn't it?

65
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:18,879
- I never think about it.
- Me neither.

66
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,919
God.

67
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:23,719
I need a fucking bath. I smell like
a peasant who died of syphilis

68
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,479
and was buried in an ox in high summer.

69
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,080
I was thinking exactly that about myself.

70
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:30,599
Then let us go bathe
and let the fun unleash.

71
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,960
It will be a marvelous lunch
that does not stop.

72
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:35,919
There will be games and music.

73
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,039
We will need birds and a plinth
and desserts, obviously, and...

74
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:56,840
Tea?

75
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,639
- Where's Georgina?
- I don't know.

76
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:01,680
I need you to help me with
Madam Dymov.

77
00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:04,199
You know there is a sizzling attraction
between her and I

78
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,759
that pulls at the bonds of our class

79
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,280
and one day will tear them
and our clothes apart

80
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,120
and we will have each other.

81
00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:13,520
I'm a bit confused. I was...
I was dreaming.

82
00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:17,279
- And maybe I still am.
- I need help tearing at the bonds.

83
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,040
What's she like? What gets to her?

84
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,399
I had a dream. Where's George?

85
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,519
- She's been gone all night.
- What?

86
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,720
- I'm not dreaming, am I?
- No.

87
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,560
What does she like?
Shall I casually expose a breast?

88
00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:34,839
- What?
- Georgina.

89
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:37,920
I was thinking I might bite her ear.
Thoughts?

90
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:41,759
- George.
- Darling.

91
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,959
- You may go, Petra.
- I am at your whim. Any whim.

92
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,720
Information I already know.

93
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,120
- Where were you?
- With Catherine.

94
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,120
- Is she all right? Did she tell you?
- She's fine. And she didn't.

95
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,720
- Are you all right?
- No, I'm not.

96
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,279
- How am I gonna be without him? How?
- I...

97
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,639
Don't know? Because you can't. Because
I fucking can't be without him! I can't!

98
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,879
- Grigor, come here.
- You touch me, I'll dissolve.

99
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:14,759
What am I in this world without him?

100
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,279
- He's...
- Everything.

101
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:19,000
I know.

102
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,920
- I keep seeing us as kids in the halls.
- Jesus.

103
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,399
- You haven't told anyone, have you?
- No.

104
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,240
Catherine is insane.

105
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,000
They will hate her if she hasn't told them
and they find out.

106
00:05:35,079 --> 00:05:37,519
- Indeed, they will.
- Fuck.

107
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:41,000
Every time I sleep, I wake up unsure,

108
00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:46,439
and then I remember the icy water,
his face.

109
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:48,920
God. I loved him.

110
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:51,560
I know.

111
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,839
I think maybe
I should go and see Catherine.

112
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:56,959
And I love you.

113
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,759
Whatever I do, it's for us.

114
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,399
Wait here a minute.

115
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:10,639
It's fucking real, isn't it?

116
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,759
Yes, but it's all right.

117
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,839
I know what to do.

118
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,680
If I hadn't fucking told her. If I...

119
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,399
- Maybe I was disloyal.
- You weren't. You fucking loved him.

120
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,759
- We were all happy until her.
- Yeah.

121
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,399
He's dead.

122
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:31,639
The words are pounding my head in.

123
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,480
Drink your tea though.

124
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:40,759
What do we do?

125
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:42,680
You can sleep.

126
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,839
I need to see Marial.

127
00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:51,519
Careful, darling. You need to rest.

128
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,000
- Is Peter dead?
- What the fuck?

129
00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:05,360
You eavesdropping little bitch.

130
00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:08,360
It's my job to anticipate your every need.
Helps if I eavesdrop.

131
00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:10,160
- Is he?
- No.

132
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,199
- He fucking is.
- You can't utter a word.

133
00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:14,240
Shit.

134
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,040
I... Are you all right?

135
00:07:18,439 --> 00:07:19,560
You loved him.

136
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:23,160
I was so jealous, hearing you moaning
under him as I brought him cake.

137
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,040
Petra, you need to keep
your mouth shut.

138
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,160
I'll pay you.

139
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,920
I'm more of an
experience-driven person.

140
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,639
Fine.

141
00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:40,759
Yes?

142
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,959
That was really fucking nice.

143
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,040
- I knew it would be.
- We have a deal.

144
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:55,120
What the fuck, George?

145
00:07:56,279 --> 00:07:57,240
George!

146
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,399
Fuck.

147
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:15,519
Leonora, I don't want to be in here.

148
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:18,600
And where is everyone?
And why aren't we working?

149
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,319
Is Russia suddenly running itself?

150
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:23,800
Well, if it is, it is no doubt
into a ditch, as that is its way.

151
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:27,279
So let us not have that
on a day of fun and brilliance!

152
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:34,200
Morning!

153
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:37,399
We are to have
the funnest lunch today.

154
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:40,360
- Archie.
- Empress?

155
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,399
A joke, everyone.

156
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:47,120
Why was the lute teacher arrested?

157
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,480
For fingering a minor.

158
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,240
Minor chord, and a minor
is a term for a... Fuck me. Really?

159
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,240
How do you circumcise a Georgian?

160
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,840
Kick his sister in the jaw.

161
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:06,639
Empress,
we need to talk about Pugachev.

162
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:09,240
Smolny, a joke, immediately.

163
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:13,039
What do you call a man
who whistles when he speaks? A cunt.

164
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,639
And then you smash his fucking teeth in,

165
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,080
so the only sound he makes is a gulping
noise as he swallows his own blood.

166
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,759
A fucking problematic human,
that Smolny.

167
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,360
A roaming, bathing empress!
How marvelous.

168
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,360
Elizabeth, a joke!

169
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,960
What's red and yet translucent,

170
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,840
covered in flowers, lives in the sea,
eats only plankton and anchovies,

171
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:38,039
speaks in tongues,
can change its color as it wills,

172
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,919
can disgorge poison from its eyes
and makes a noise like a small flute?

173
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,840
Gosh. I don't know.

174
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,679
Neither do I,
but it will be wonderful when we find it.

175
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,200
Onwards!

176
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,799
They say he'll speak in the hall
at midday.

177
00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:19,480
- And then bam, bam, bam!
- Put the fucking gun down, Maxim.

178
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,279
I'd love to do it,
a gesture of affection.

179
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,120
- Sweet, but no.
- Or we do it together.

180
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,399
Get him in a cross-fire situation.
And then bam, bam, bam!

181
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,639
Fucking hell.

182
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,320
It would be a fond memory,

183
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:34,799
and we've not done many couple things
in our marriage.

184
00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:37,519
I'm doing it.

185
00:10:38,759 --> 00:10:42,440
- You're waiting in the carriage.
- What? It was my idea.

186
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:45,000
- You heard me.
- Unbelievable.

187
00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:52,000
Marvelous.

188
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:55,600
- What's going on?
- We are to have the most fun lunch.

189
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,440
Elizabeth,
we are to reinvent discourse in a fun way,

190
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:00,919
wrapping ideas in joy and shiny paper.

191
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,840
- Are you all right?
- You seem--

192
00:11:02,919 --> 00:11:05,840
Inspired,
and it is coursing through my veins.

193
00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:08,159
Empress, we must discuss Pugachev.

194
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,440
I have begun negotiations,
and he's put some things on the table.

195
00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:14,559
We shouldn't negotiate with any terrorists

196
00:11:14,639 --> 00:11:18,039
who were once sassy
but charismatic employees.

197
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,120
What?

198
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,039
She said we shouldn't negotiate
with terrorists.

199
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,480
Are you losing your hearing, Archie?
My father did. It was so annoying.

200
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,559
Every day,
"Morning, Father. I said morning!"

201
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,799
- Is anyone else cold? I feel freezing.
- Good morning.

202
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:35,679
Sorry.

203
00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:38,919
You can face me.
It is just an incredible, naked body.

204
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:44,440
Siberia. Petrov, three facts
about Siberia and a joke.

205
00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:47,080
It's cold. Really cold.
Unimaginably cold.

206
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,960
What is red and not good for your teeth?

207
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,559
- A flying brick.
- Marvelous.

208
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:54,919
I found Pugachev. Seemed important,
hence the bursting in.

209
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:56,399
You what?

210
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,519
"Found Pugachev."
I believe that's what he said.

211
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,879
Your hearing, Archie.

212
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:03,559
He's in Tekov.
Apparently, hiding out in a church.

213
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:04,919
The...

214
00:12:05,919 --> 00:12:06,919
Outrageous.

215
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,720
There will be flagellations
and excommunications over this.

216
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,360
Interesting information,

217
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,240
but basically irrelevant,
as I have a deal brewing.

218
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,080
My people tell me he's rallying today.
I can have men there in four hours.

219
00:12:19,159 --> 00:12:23,440
I think we have a plan
that does not involve bloodshed.

220
00:12:23,759 --> 00:12:25,360
The empress hates bloodshed.

221
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,519
- Let's spare Russian lives, shall we?
- Up to the empress.

222
00:12:30,159 --> 00:12:31,759
We have a few options.
It's in our plan.

223
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,200
Plan?

224
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:35,080
Summary: We arrest him alive,

225
00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:38,399
or bring his head home in a bag,
put it in a cannon and let rip.

226
00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:40,600
He has quite a militia,
so there'll be a bit of a battle.

227
00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:43,600
- Pointless bloodshed.
- He's raised an army, actually.

228
00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:46,039
Apparently, he has a real turn of phrase.

229
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,159
Obviously, they're piling up dead nobles
like kindling.

230
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:51,080
In fact, quite often using them
for kindling,

231
00:12:51,159 --> 00:12:53,159
which, considering the winter
we've been having,

232
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,080
has an efficient kind of logic.

233
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,440
You scared me!

234
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,720
- Empress!
- Towel.

235
00:13:14,799 --> 00:13:17,080
I cannot be wet
during an important discussion.

236
00:13:17,159 --> 00:13:20,080
Elizabeth, the French
should pay their debts in art from now on.

237
00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:23,159
- Make a note.
- All out while the empress dresses.

238
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:27,360
Look at you both. Inflamed with sick,
and yet understandable, desire

239
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,480
and pretending you are not.

240
00:13:28,879 --> 00:13:31,480
I'm not pretending. I just wasn't sure
how vocal to be about it.

241
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,519
- I have no feelings below the waist.
- Thing is, time is important.

242
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,840
I know where he is now,
might not tomorrow.

243
00:13:38,159 --> 00:13:41,279
Which is why negotiating
is the plan we are on,

244
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,120
which does not have a time
pressure on it.

245
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,639
Unless, of course, you're a noble
they're about to set alight.

246
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,639
I clearly remember saying "out."

247
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,480
We'd also like to discuss
the Swedish campaign,

248
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,080
as no one in the military seemed to know.
Everyone's a bit, "What the fuck?"

249
00:13:53,159 --> 00:13:55,480
So, love to catch up on that.

250
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,399
Win my favor.
You have ten seconds.

251
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:09,159
You're handsome and pretty.

252
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Just another word for "handsome."
What do you want?

253
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,159
- Whatever you--
- Decide? Will? Whatever my whim?

254
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,159
Yes.

255
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,720
Raise up your clapping hands for Boris.

256
00:14:25,159 --> 00:14:26,639
Thanks for coming up, Boris.

257
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,639
That is how she wants you to live.

258
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,879
She fucking hates Russians.
That's the hard truth of it.

259
00:14:37,799 --> 00:14:40,759
- Yes.
- Yes, that's true.

260
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,919
Yeah, I knew a woman--

261
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:46,039
beautiful, smart,

262
00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:50,440
a fucking stick of fire
who could drink and spar with anyone,

263
00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:52,320
born to fucking title,

264
00:14:53,399 --> 00:14:56,000
and they just took it from her.

265
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,159
Yeah, suddenly,
she's covered in shit, lice,

266
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,960
beatings, the odd cock in her face,
taking it from everyone.

267
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,279
And then, suddenly,

268
00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:07,559
they yank her back up.

269
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:09,960
"You please us, you can live."

270
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,799
Then, "No, you can't,"
and they throw her back down.

271
00:15:14,679 --> 00:15:17,639
The joke is, she imagines herself
an independent spirit.

272
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,759
She is fucking deluded.

273
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,039
She is a puppet.

274
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,000
She is what they made her,

275
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,200
a scared, angry woman,
desperate for approval

276
00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:35,600
so she can take a free fucking breath.

277
00:15:35,919 --> 00:15:38,000
And I, for one, fucking love her.

278
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,679
For she does what we all do.

279
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:42,120
Who hasn't walked
into a room wondering,

280
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,799
"What if I displease them?
Or have done?"

281
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,720
And I aimed to change all that.

282
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,240
I, Peter,

283
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,440
son of Peter the Great!

284
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:01,360
You know what I was about to do?

285
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,639
I was about to change everything,
and she smelt it.

286
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,320
- You know what I was about to do?
- What?

287
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:09,519
I wanted to free all the serfs.

288
00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:16,639
Yes. Yes.
And remove all taxes on the merchants.

289
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,080
Yeah, let people free.
Release us from our bonds.

290
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:25,559
Our brains are as fucking trapped
as our bodies, my friends!

291
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,519
Peter! Peter! Peter!

292
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,600
Peter! Peter!

293
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:32,679
Bring her out!

294
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,879
Peter! Peter! Peter!

295
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,399
Fuck her up! Fuck her up!

296
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,960
Fuck her up! Fuck her up!

297
00:16:45,039 --> 00:16:47,639
Fuck her up! Fuck her up!

298
00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:51,399
Who wants at it?

299
00:16:52,039 --> 00:16:53,799
Fuck her up! Fuck her up!

300
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:05,839
Fuck her up!
Fuck her up! Fuck her up!

301
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,039
Hello.

302
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,519
- You are--
- Very enlivened and excited.

303
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:27,359
The empress has a plan to reset
the way we talk about the Enlightenment,

304
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,000
to throw open the doors to dissent
and also satire.

305
00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:33,000
And that's where you come in.
Today, you put on your play!

306
00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:36,680
I cannot.
I showed only you.

307
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,720
It's treason.

308
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,480
- Very funny treason.
- Still treason.

309
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,000
- I was angry when I wrote it.
- I think you're being too harsh.

310
00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:50,960
It is a gift, and you must unwrap it
and show it to the world.

311
00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:52,039
I don't know, I--

312
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,799
Katya, are you a coward full of hot air
who will die wondering if

313
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,279
you could've made
an impact on this earth?

314
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,519
Jesus.

315
00:17:57,599 --> 00:17:59,119
You wanna lie in your grave
and think what?

316
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,039
"I've tasted a few cocks,
I've taught a few girls,

317
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,279
"and my true gift died in my heart
like a sparrow in a jar"?

318
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,960
- She will--
- She will love it.

319
00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:08,039
I have been with her all night.
We misjudge her.

320
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,000
She wants aggressive discourse.
She will fucking love it and you.

321
00:18:11,079 --> 00:18:14,319
And you will be the toast of these halls.
You will be seen!

322
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,960
You will be fucking Molière with a pussy.

323
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,400
- I love that. Molière with a pussy.
- The toast of fucking Russia.

324
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,559
Get it ready.

325
00:18:33,759 --> 00:18:36,559
So my question is,
how much art is enough?

326
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,559
And do we need more museums?
Which, of course, we do.

327
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,759
I should tour the regions,
incognito, in a hat.

328
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,559
Are you all right?

329
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,160
I'm great. Excited about today.

330
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:49,279
Something has come loose in you.

331
00:18:50,279 --> 00:18:51,200
I'm...

332
00:18:52,839 --> 00:18:56,599
I was the same whenever Peter the Great
went off to battle.

333
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,359
I was quite unhinged.

334
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,960
I had all the doors removed
from the west wing

335
00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:02,759
because I thought, when he came back,

336
00:19:02,839 --> 00:19:05,319
I would not have the delay
of opening doors.

337
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,920
And I couldn't sleep,

338
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,920
and I took to swimming
hundreds of rounds of the lake,

339
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,160
until I would collapse on the bank,

340
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,960
breathless and riddled with cramps
and covered in leeches,

341
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:19,119
and they had to carry me back
to the palace.

342
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:20,640
Yes.

343
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,640
I think that might be it,

344
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,359
that I even imagined him dead.

345
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,039
I did that all the time.

346
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,039
I would imagine him dead in battle,
on the road, everywhere.

347
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,160
It haunted me.

348
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,920
- Yes, but was not true.
- No!

349
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,200
Your heart swirls and clouds your mind,
and it is the worst.

350
00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:40,000
Oh, yes.

351
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,279
It's why I'm so cold, I think.

352
00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:48,119
We must have fun.
Let's just have fun.

353
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,359
What are you doing?
We have a lunch.

354
00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:54,119
I put grapes in my hair. Try one.

355
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,319
Tart, like you.

356
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,160
What the fuck?

357
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,680
"We shouldn't negotiate with terrorists"?
I thought we had a deal.

358
00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:11,920
We can't be seen to support this.
Then it would look like we're ganging up.

359
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,920
- And your hands remain clean.
- Something like that.

360
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,599
If you want me to carry your water,
don't stab a hole in the bucket.

361
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,359
Archie, you need to end it.
It seems to be getting out of hand.

362
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,599
Now!

363
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,599
Welcome to the Festival of Fun,
Truth and Mesmerizing Ideas.

364
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,039
Release the birds.

365
00:20:40,759 --> 00:20:44,079
Let us set free our ideas
and kill the weak ones,

366
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,759
leaving only the best to fly.

367
00:20:50,319 --> 00:20:53,480
Also, realize,
this is a visual metaphor of that idea.

368
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,200
Everyone, a joke, because it is also fun,
this Enlightenment.

369
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:06,160
A bear walks into a tavern and says,
"I'd like a... vodka."

370
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,440
The barman says,
"Why the big pause?"

371
00:21:09,079 --> 00:21:10,119
"Born with them."

372
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,359
Adorable and unexpected.

373
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,400
What does my ex-wife think about
when she's fucking her new lover?

374
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:23,559
Hopefully, how much I miss her
and what a special thing we had.

375
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,119
What's blue,
cold and good in bed?

376
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,680
A dead peasant!

377
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:42,160
Polo!

378
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,240
- Marco!
- Polo!

379
00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:53,400
- Marco!
- Polo!

380
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,680
Is she all right?

381
00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:58,839
Peter is at war.
Fear manifests in strange ways.

382
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,559
Marco!

383
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,920
- This sudden friendship seems startling.
- Indeed.

384
00:22:05,599 --> 00:22:07,880
Why are you wearing
four seasons of clothing?

385
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,759
I'm very cold,

386
00:22:09,839 --> 00:22:11,559
and all day I've grown colder.

387
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,319
- Have you seen Vinodel?
- It feels deeper than that.

388
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,880
And not just fear.

389
00:22:17,599 --> 00:22:19,039
I don't know what though.

390
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,480
The body, what a thing.

391
00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:24,480
We do not have control
over our own carriage,

392
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:27,359
and it would run us into a ditch
at a moment's notice.

393
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,240
You're right.

394
00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:33,559
The body has answers
before the mind knows the questions.

395
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,279
It's the body's questions I hate,
to be honest.

396
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,079
- Marco!
- Polo!

397
00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:47,039
- Marco!
- Polo!

398
00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:54,359
I am so sorry. Reflex.

399
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:02,920
I guess I'm it.

400
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,559
You do it?
In the eye, like I said?

401
00:23:14,839 --> 00:23:16,200
- Couldn't.
- What?

402
00:23:16,279 --> 00:23:20,359
I listened to what he said,
and a lot of it... I fucking agree with.

403
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,920
I'm here about to murder someone
who's done nothing to me,

404
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,599
because I need the empress to like me
or I'm fucked?

405
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,960
Let's focus
on the last half of that sentence.

406
00:23:30,039 --> 00:23:32,920
The "you're fucked" bit, add me in.
Make it "we're fucked."

407
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,039
- Maxim, I'm not doing it.
- Marial, we had a plan.

408
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,880
New plan: Archie's plan plays out.

409
00:23:39,319 --> 00:23:41,880
Archie will manage the whole thing,
and we will slide out of it.

410
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,119
- He is an expert at this.
- How very disappointing.

411
00:23:47,079 --> 00:23:48,000
Let's go home.

412
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,440
- I have to pee.
- Why didn't you while I was in there?

413
00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:55,440
'Cause you said stay in the carriage,
and I am obviously, unlike you,

414
00:23:55,519 --> 00:23:58,960
the person in the partnership
whose word can be trusted.

415
00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:09,480
Archie, we must put our heads together.

416
00:24:10,519 --> 00:24:12,640
I will begin negotiations

417
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,680
and counsel against
the military's bloodthirsty madness.

418
00:24:16,759 --> 00:24:19,359
- But what will make them not hate me?
- Show of strength.

419
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:21,759
Are you lurking?

420
00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:24,799
I just have an instinct for when
I should be somewhere. Always have.

421
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,200
I once walked, not knowing why,
across two fields and a stream,

422
00:24:28,279 --> 00:24:30,240
stopped under a tree,
heard a rustling noise,

423
00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:32,599
looked up as a young girl fell,
caught her in my arms.

424
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,039
- Fascinating. What was her name?
- Olga.

425
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,519
- What sort of tree?
- Oak.

426
00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:40,480
Can we agree to just negotiate
a peaceful settlement?

427
00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:43,599
It's not just him though. It's the army
of hate that he's whipped up.

428
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,759
Which dies with his disappearance
and presumed death.

429
00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:49,200
- The opposite happened with Jesus.
- Good point.

430
00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:51,720
- People love a martyr.
- Joan of Arc.

431
00:24:51,799 --> 00:24:54,680
My sisters and I dressed up like her
and set fire to ourselves.

432
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:57,039
- Real fire?
- Can we stop?

433
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,119
Are you yelling because you're deaf?

434
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,799
I am not deaf.

435
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,160
- And I have the solution at hand.
- As do I.

436
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,759
So Petrov creates a perimeter
from which he cannot escape,

437
00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:11,000
Archie negotiates.

438
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:13,119
And if it goes wrong,
Petrov unleashes war upon them.

439
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,319
And if it goes right,

440
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,200
Petrov's men hand out rubles
with my name on them to everyone.

441
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,480
- Good plan.
- Good plan.

442
00:25:22,319 --> 00:25:25,039
When you're out there,
and the crowd looks up at you,

443
00:25:25,799 --> 00:25:28,359
this fucking energy force.

444
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,039
Now, I've been in battle,

445
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,319
and you feel the energy like
palpable fucking waves of hate and fear.

446
00:25:35,599 --> 00:25:39,079
But this is fucking love,
and it tingles the fucking skin.

447
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,519
And then, you know,
words and ideas come out of me

448
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:47,799
I've never thought before,
and they're right and true, and...

449
00:25:48,519 --> 00:25:50,079
Fuck me.

450
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:51,920
Jesus, that is good!

451
00:25:54,799 --> 00:25:56,160
You are marvelous.

452
00:26:06,039 --> 00:26:07,400
I love you, Emperor Peter.

453
00:26:08,759 --> 00:26:11,799
Fucking love you too.
Silky fucking mouth, well played.

454
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,759
Pugachev, I presume.

455
00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:21,480
No, I don't fuck little boys.
Rule of mine.

456
00:26:21,559 --> 00:26:25,000
Farewell, sir.
May your trip to hell be fast and fiery.

457
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,000
Driver! Go!

458
00:26:40,079 --> 00:26:43,319
- What the fuck, Maxim?
- I shot him dead. It was Maxim-esque!

459
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,920
You're fucking joking!

460
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,119
Sometimes the man must take control.
You, my dear, are welcome.

461
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,920
Driver, go!

462
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,519
These fucking people.

463
00:27:14,079 --> 00:27:15,000
Empress.

464
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,880
- Katya has written a play.
- Huzzah! I love a play!

465
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,599
I'm not sure about this.

466
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,960
It will be fun!

467
00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:25,039
We don't know what it is.
It's about you, that's all I know.

468
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,799
Me? Huzzah.
It will make them love me.

469
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,200
Shall we have a play?

470
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,640
Once, we could not have
imagined ourselves writing plays.

471
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,839
Our gratitude to our empress.

472
00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:52,240
Peasant, I need a seat.

473
00:27:54,519 --> 00:27:57,880
I have a story to tell.
I'm the narrator.

474
00:28:01,319 --> 00:28:04,759
On arriving in Russia.

475
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,400
Russia!

476
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,519
It burns in my heart.

477
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,000
I see its golden promise.

478
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,160
My new wife.

479
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,880
- I bring the Enlightenment.
- And a silky mouth.

480
00:28:29,319 --> 00:28:31,759
Well done. Faster!

481
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,160
Voltaire!

482
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,319
Diderot!

483
00:28:41,079 --> 00:28:42,559
Montesquieu!

484
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,599
I just blew Montesquieu!

485
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,319
Shall I stop it?
It would look bad, but...

486
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,839
I must take this land
and its poor, trodden-on people.

487
00:28:59,759 --> 00:29:04,079
I will free the peasants,
and they will be grateful and love me.

488
00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:07,680
Who are you?

489
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,880
Hello, I'm Leo.

490
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,559
Have a peach and some light foreplay.

491
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,279
I'm Orlo.
Let's go change this land.

492
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,240
Let's do both.

493
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:22,839
Rid this land and create a new one.

494
00:29:23,839 --> 00:29:25,119
I love you, Leo.

495
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,599
Well?

496
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:37,880
- Can I take that?
- Of course. I love you.

497
00:29:38,839 --> 00:29:42,119
Put the crown on my head
and your tongue in my pussy.

498
00:29:59,519 --> 00:30:04,279
I crown me
Catherine of Much Unrealized Promise.

499
00:30:05,359 --> 00:30:07,279
We have much to do.

500
00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:10,960
We shall need complete focus
and no resiling from our--

501
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,200
Fuck yeah!
Eat that pussy!

502
00:30:14,599 --> 00:30:16,079
Free those serfs!

503
00:30:19,839 --> 00:30:23,000
I am Catherine
of Much Unrealized Promise,

504
00:30:23,359 --> 00:30:25,559
and I have come to save you.

505
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,119
So firstly, be better!

506
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,799
Huzzah.

507
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,480
Read books, agree with me
and wake up to the fact you're shit,

508
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:38,799
but noble at heart and ready to rise!

509
00:30:41,359 --> 00:30:44,799
I think we must have
more concrete plans.

510
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,240
- Who are you again?
- Orlo!

511
00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:54,440
Where did he go?

512
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:56,680
To Russia.

513
00:30:57,319 --> 00:31:00,160
We ride to the future together!

514
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,000
Don't say "neigh," say "yay"!

515
00:32:09,839 --> 00:32:11,960
Everyone, dance!

516
00:32:12,839 --> 00:32:14,400
Until you throw up!

517
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:16,640
Brilliant!

518
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,559
No one may leave the dance floor
until they have.

519
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,079
God, so...

520
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:22,920
I feel a bit...

521
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,720
She said dance, you fuckers!
Dance!

522
00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:38,440
- Let me go!
- I'm very, very annoyed at you!

523
00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:45,119
- All good?
- Quiet.

524
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,440
Unlock it.

525
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,839
And you, go downstairs and start
telling the servants about Peter.

526
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,400
I'm telling now?
I thought I wasn't telling.

527
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,599
Life evolves.

528
00:32:58,839 --> 00:33:01,039
- I might need something.
- How 'bout I don't beat you?

529
00:33:01,119 --> 00:33:03,119
How 'bout you do,
and I'm naked when you do it?

530
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,240
Fine. Just go.

531
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,279
You're okay.
You're okay. You're okay.

532
00:33:45,359 --> 00:33:47,519
- It's okay.
- Fuck off!

533
00:33:47,599 --> 00:33:49,079
- Tatyana, try and--
- I understand.

534
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,680
Best friends with the empress!

535
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:54,680
Always sucking up to the top,
that's fucking you.

536
00:33:54,759 --> 00:33:57,279
Rode Peter,
and now you'll ride Catherine.

537
00:33:57,359 --> 00:33:59,720
I wanted to ask you if you'd heard
the rumor, but fuck off yourselves.

538
00:33:59,799 --> 00:34:01,440
- What rumor? George.
- No.

539
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:02,880
Tell me. Ignore her.

540
00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:05,640
Something weird's going on, isn't it?

541
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,559
There's a rumor Peter died
on the way to Sweden.

542
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:15,639
- What?
- Died.

543
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,119
Drowned or something.
And she knows, and she won't tell us.

544
00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:21,960
She is acting weird.

545
00:34:22,039 --> 00:34:24,679
Yeah. I don't know.
I just wondered if you'd heard it?

546
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,119
- No.
- Right.

547
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,239
Well, don't tell anyone,
because it could be bullshit.

548
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,440
And she's not acting weird.

549
00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:33,000
The more you know her,
you realize she's mad.

550
00:34:33,079 --> 00:34:35,199
I'm actually a bit scared
of what she's capable of.

551
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:36,559
Why wouldn't she tell us?

552
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:40,320
Because maybe he didn't drown, Arkady.
Maybe she killed him.

553
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,079
He can't be fucking dead.

554
00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:45,840
Anyway, keep it between us.
I hate gossip!

555
00:34:56,599 --> 00:34:58,760
What's wrong with you two?
I'm finding it quite fun.

556
00:34:59,159 --> 00:35:01,119
Have you heard what they're saying?

557
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,519
- Everything's spinning.
- I know.

558
00:35:55,639 --> 00:35:58,159
Fuck that Katya.
You need to kill her.

559
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,519
- What?
- There are lines people can't cross.

560
00:36:00,599 --> 00:36:04,039
I won't allow it.
Cut her fucking head off before dessert.

561
00:36:04,119 --> 00:36:05,119
I...

562
00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:09,639
Remember the heads,
when I first came?

563
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,400
Catherine, she just attacked your rule
in a way you must react to.

564
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,119
You can't allow people to degrade you.
That's what Pugachev is doing.

565
00:36:17,199 --> 00:36:20,239
Not in your own court.
You must smash back.

566
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,400
I said they could tell the truth.

567
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,119
The progressives would hate me,
feel I betrayed them.

568
00:36:28,039 --> 00:36:29,719
Yes, I suppose they would.

569
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:31,519
I hadn't seen that.

570
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,840
You're so clever.

571
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,000
Why you're the empress, I guess.

572
00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:41,760
Why are you here?

573
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,199
I'm here because I'm your friend.

574
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,119
- You weren't.
- I am now.

575
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:49,880
You see that, don't you?

576
00:36:54,039 --> 00:36:55,119
Yes.

577
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:06,360
Other small problem is that the rumor
of Peter's death is sweeping court.

578
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,079
What?

579
00:37:10,159 --> 00:37:13,280
That he and his horse
fell through the ice on a lake,

580
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,360
and he fucking drowned,

581
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,679
and you watched it
and have not told anyone.

582
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:22,639
So...

583
00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:26,639
You need to stand up
and tell them that's a lie.

584
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:29,840
Because it is, isn't it?

585
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,559
No, it's not true.
It's not true, it's not true.

586
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,480
Hello. Bad time?

587
00:37:54,559 --> 00:37:56,960
Let's just sign off on this.

588
00:37:57,039 --> 00:38:01,320
I beseech you,
which is a very big word for "end this."

589
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:02,719
Agree to the one church,

590
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,000
and he will abandon his flock,
leave the country.

591
00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:09,159
They have no one to follow,
wander back to us.

592
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,760
Okay. Okay. Thank you, Archie.

593
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,920
Lesson learned:
Control is everything in Russia,

594
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,960
and only the church
and the empress have it.

595
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,360
Do you believe in visions?

596
00:38:21,199 --> 00:38:22,719
It's part of the job.

597
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,360
Something is rushing up at me,

598
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,639
and it will kill me if it gets here.

599
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,199
Evening.

600
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,760
I wouldn't just burst in normally
like this,

601
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,960
as I believe manners are the fabric
that furnishes our society.

602
00:38:41,679 --> 00:38:45,119
However, when the biggest enemy
of the state, one Pugachev,

603
00:38:45,199 --> 00:38:48,199
has been gunned down
by the most stylish man in the kingdom,

604
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,639
one Maxim Illyich Vaskovy,

605
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,880
I believe a little leeway can be given.

606
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,039
- You--
- Shot Pugachev.

607
00:38:56,119 --> 00:38:58,159
He begged for his life,

608
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,400
but I just smiled wryly
and put one through his eye.

609
00:39:02,199 --> 00:39:03,639
So this fake Peter is dead.

610
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:05,719
Fucking hell.

611
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,000
- Fake Peter is dead.
- Very fucking dead.

612
00:39:10,079 --> 00:39:12,280
I lay this gift of loyalty at your feet.

613
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,480
I think you will also enjoy
the view of my shoes

614
00:39:14,559 --> 00:39:16,320
when you bend down to pick it up.

615
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:19,920
Pugachev is dead.

616
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,159
That Peter is dead.

617
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,360
Yes. Yes, now I understand.

618
00:39:27,599 --> 00:39:28,559
Maxim.

619
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,320
God has blessed me, Archie.
I think we all see that now.

620
00:39:49,559 --> 00:39:50,480
No.

621
00:39:56,039 --> 00:39:59,480
- Shit. You all right?
- I tried to open the door with my head.

622
00:39:59,559 --> 00:40:02,000
Right. What the fuck is going on?
Why are you locked in?

623
00:40:02,079 --> 00:40:05,519
- Where have you been?
- I don't know. Marriage stuff.

624
00:40:05,599 --> 00:40:06,880
Right.

625
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,239
What's happened?

626
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:13,199
Peter was on a horse on the ice,
and he just fucking fell through.

627
00:40:15,039 --> 00:40:16,239
What?

628
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,000
Because Hugo's a cunt, and
Peter the Great won't leave him alone,

629
00:40:19,079 --> 00:40:23,079
and I was disloyal but not really,
but he's dead, so I was something.

630
00:40:23,159 --> 00:40:24,960
It's not good,
because it didn't work, what I did.

631
00:40:25,039 --> 00:40:26,360
What the fuck are you talking about?

632
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,519
He was staring at me, and I reached out,
and his horse dragged him down,

633
00:40:30,599 --> 00:40:36,039
and he looked sort of bewildered
and kind of fucked off, as well.

634
00:40:36,119 --> 00:40:37,599
Peter's...
What are you saying?

635
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,280
That he's dead.

636
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,320
My friend is dead.

637
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,800
- Fuck.
- Yeah.

638
00:40:47,559 --> 00:40:48,719
Fuck.

639
00:40:50,599 --> 00:40:53,199
- And Catherine saw it?
- Yes, but she's mad.

640
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,519
And she won't let me tell anyone
and says it didn't happen.

641
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,559
- It did though?
- It did.

642
00:40:58,679 --> 00:41:00,280
I prefer it when I'm unconscious.

643
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,599
Yeah, just rest, my darling.

644
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:05,880
Just rest.

645
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,400
Katya, stand on the plinth.

646
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,519
What a lolly of a play.

647
00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:46,159
How scathing of me and my failings.

648
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:50,199
And how humorous to watch oneself
be fucked in the arse by a horse.

649
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,280
And how you all loved it.

650
00:41:55,159 --> 00:41:56,679
So I had an idea.

651
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,079
- The regions should see it.
- They should?

652
00:41:59,519 --> 00:42:03,559
I've arranged for you to go to Siberia
for an extended writers' residency.

653
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,840
- Siberia?
- Take a coat and hat. Huzzah!

654
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,760
Huzzah!

655
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,679
Also, there is a ridiculous rumor
sweeping the halls.

656
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,639
- That Peter is dead.
- And you are lying to us about it.

657
00:42:15,119 --> 00:42:16,480
He is not dead.

658
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,880
Pugachev is dead.

659
00:42:19,519 --> 00:42:23,039
And since he was pretending to be Peter,
and Maxim killed him,

660
00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:26,760
then obviously,
people have become confused.

661
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,760
And so it's Pugachev who is dead,
not Peter.

662
00:42:31,519 --> 00:42:33,079
Pugachev, not Peter.

663
00:42:33,159 --> 00:42:34,800
So, desserts?

664
00:42:35,559 --> 00:42:37,800
- Peter's not dead?
- No.

665
00:42:38,159 --> 00:42:39,079
Desserts!

666
00:42:40,599 --> 00:42:43,840
Empress,
I have a special delight tonight.

667
00:42:44,599 --> 00:42:47,480
Emperor Peter and I
have been working on salty dessert.

668
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,159
I would like to unveil the first.

669
00:42:50,679 --> 00:42:55,079
A salted caramel mousse with
a nut praline, also thyme salted.

670
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,039
He was very excited.

671
00:42:57,679 --> 00:42:59,599
It is a shame he is not here to see this.

672
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:06,400
Salty...

673
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,559
Did I tell you I'm going to try
my salt on desserts?

674
00:43:09,639 --> 00:43:11,119
I have ordered
Jean-Pierre to experiment.

675
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,199
Madness, but brilliant.

676
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,000
I'll send word when we're done.

677
00:43:19,599 --> 00:43:22,280
I love you.
My whole fucking heart and all my body

678
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,760
and whatever ineffable spirit
animates me.

679
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,679
Everything.

680
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:30,840
You must do the honor.

681
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:33,719
I...

682
00:43:39,639 --> 00:43:40,880
Formidable, no?

683
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,239
He's dead!

684
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,239
He's fucking dead!

685
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,920
