You know how important it is to me. 46 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,160 All I feel Your Majesty is that some of it... 47 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,920 - That some of it is too liberal. - I'll be the judge of that ! 48 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,320 What would Your Majesty like me to do with these ? 49 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,360 I can think of a place I would like you to put it. 50 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,480 But I am not minded to be vulgar. So give it back to Minister Panin. 51 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,120 Maybe he can nibble on it for his tea. 52 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,240 He has always been very good at eating his own words. 53 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,200 Yes, Your Majesty. Count Orlov. 54 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,160 Don't you remember that young man ? 55 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,760 Lieutenant Potemkin. 56 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,720 He was with us on the day of the coup. 57 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,760 When we took your husband from the throne. 58 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,160 Peter allowed himself to be deposed like a child being put to bed. 59 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,520 She eats men alive. You know that. 60 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,920 Sounds like an interesting proposition. 61 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,000 Let's listen. 62 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,760 When I first came here, from Germany. many years ago, 63 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,120 I did not even speak the language. 64 00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,240 I had little knowledge of the beauties of the Russian church 65 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,200 and even less of the courage and the strength of its people. 66 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,200 But I fell in love with this country. 67 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,400 Its spirit. Its passion. Its soul. 68 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,840 But in these more enlightened times, I believe we need laws 69 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,520 that everyone respects and obeys. 70 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,760 The rich and powerful as well as the poor and dispossessed. 71 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,640 And so. Something needs to change. 72 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,200 Slavery does not have to be a Russian institution ! 73 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,880 That didn't go down well. 74 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,480 I'm afraid I tried to warn your mother. 75 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,360 All of the audience here own serfs. Most of them have thousands. 76 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,440 Russia's not ready for change. 77 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,080 Is it right for a rich man to own another human being ? 78 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,280 Which is still the case in this country. 79 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,440 Look at Orlov. 80 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,240 The man who put her on the throne. 81 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,720 And now wants some of it for himself. 82 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,160 I believe in reason. 83 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,600 I believe in progress. 84 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,880 And when the indomitable Russian people fight for these things, 85 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:53,040 and fight to gain a new empire in which they will be universally acknowledged, 86 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,680 then Russia, your Russia, 87 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,000 my Russia, our Russia... 88 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,320 will be truly and eternally great. 89 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,200 She just got out of that one. 90 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,840 Patriotism. Always good. 91 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,400 You helped her get rid of her husband, Peter III. Correct ? 92 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,720 And now she thinks she can do what she likes, 93 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,680 but does she have a right to the throne ? 94 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,240 And what did you get out of it ? 95 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,720 And ? What are you saying ? 96 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,200 I'm saying she's a usurper. 97 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,320 Now suppose there was a man 98 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,240 with a legitimate claim to be the Emperor of Russia. 99 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,400 I believe that man is a prisoner at Shlisselburg. 100 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,120 Present arms ! 101 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,080 They didn't seem to enjoy that very much, did they ? 102 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,480 Not so much. My son came late. And looked bored. 103 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,760 Yes, well, he wants your job, doesn't he ? 104 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,120 "She took the throne. We can take it from her." That's what they think. 105 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,600 We're not going to let them do that. The army remains loyal to us. 106 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,480 Why was Mirovich outside causing trouble ? 107 00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,680 I told you he can't be trusted. 108 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,600 I honestly had no idea, Your Majesty. 109 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,480 And I can see that it makes him, potentially, a risk as far as the... 110 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,920 very important person he is guarding. 111 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,560 That's a colossal understatement. 112 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,640 If you say you didn't know, you didn't know. 113 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,040 But my son must never be told about this. 114 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,840 Of course not, Your Majesty. This is between... 115 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,160 You and I. 116 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,080 And let us make sure it stays that way. 117 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,480 May I... make a suggestion ? 118 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,520 I'm afraid since the coup your position is vulnerable and anyone... 119 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,360 however mad... 120 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,680 even with a distant claim to the throne is a great risk. 121 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,080 Therefore can I suggest an order ? 122 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,520 That states clearly that if there is any attempt at an escape, 123 00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:21,440 Prisoner Number One... 124 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,080 is to be killed. 125 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,720 I know it goes against your liberal principals, 126 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,280 but it comes from me. You had no idea it was in place. 127 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,880 It's for your own protection. 128 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,880 We cannot risk a challenge to your throne. 129 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,480 "Divorce is possibly as old as marriage." 130 00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:07,160 "Although I suppose marriage is a few weeks older." 131 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,600 Voltaire. 132 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,360 Oh you're working. 133 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,320 I just passed Count Orlov in the corridor.
