CATHERINE THE GREAT
PART 1

21. August 1745,
my dream.

I was 15 years old and a grand duke
Peter was 2 years older.

We were both pawns
in the big political game�.

5 years before this empress
Elizabeth had usurped the crown for herself

and named his brother's son
Peter's crown heir to the kingdom.

Why me, fearful Anhalt-Zerbstin
the princess was chosen as his bride?

History for sure later
offers a hastily thought-out answer,

but the truth is simple.
Elizabeth grumbled so.

He picked me up
from the German rear willow,

and changed my name, my religion
and placed me beside Peter.

Peter parka...
Yes, I can accept him now.

But that day I saw you next to me
of a boy who had no knowledge of culture

of education, not the ability to love,
or to be loved.

His body was
full of terrible scars from smallpox

and his mind was
mean� and very narrow.

What I see in front of me.

I confess here that in front of me
I saw the throne of Russia.

Yes, the servants would surely laugh,
when you saw us in bed together.

SEVEN YEARS LATER

Enough...I like it
about this size.

All sources say the same thing, ma'am.
The marriage has not been implemented.

Not in seven years.
Seven years...

What the hell is wrong with them?

I thought you wanted to
serve me, Count Vorontsov.

There are various rumours, madam. It would seem that
the grand duke suffered from a certain physical ailment.

Oh what?
- I thought it was called Phimosis.

Leave those medical terms in there.
How does it really work?

It seems so,
that...it est��..

it makes him
impossible for its height...

You mean he can't...?
- That's right, ma'am. Or so I've been told.

Is there anything to do with it?

I understood that simple
a surgical operation would correct the problem.

Why hasn't it been done?

Is the girl still a virgin?

Yes, according to my sources.
And he is being watched very closely.

How precisely? I have heard that this
young Mr. Vasilievich has caught his eye.

I know much more than
some bother to tell me.

Inside.

Sergei Vasilievich.

Your majesty.

Come here.

How long have you been at court?
- 3 years, ma'am.

And you have spent your time
Like a horny guy?

You've even watched The Grand Duchess
According to rumors, Katarina.

The rumors did not hold
right, ma'am.

Sorry, but I never...
- Too bad.

I would have liked to hire you
to another task concerning the state.

Did my will become clear?

I would think so, ma'am.

Katarina?
- Yes. Katarina.

I didn't bring him here
books to read.

I brought you here
I gave birth to sons.

He must have an heir.

That's a basic condition, for me.

Do you understand?
- I understand.

I need your help, Alexei Razumovsky.
- I will never interfere in politics, Chancellor.

-The Count, good...

I know what you think of me.
That I'm just the emperor of the night.

I also know what the empress wants from me
wants, and it is not my political opinions.

That's exactly why he trusts you.
Prussia is already the dominant power in Germany.

Do you think Prince Fredrik?
satisfied with that?

I'm just a peasant from Ukraine.
Where should I catch the empress's gaze?

But you are not deaf or blind. Fredrik wants
make yourself great in all of Europe.

Deny it?
- I don't.

For that he would have to destroy one
the country that stands in his way:

Russian. So we have
strike first.

Strike now.

Why now?
- Because the empress is getting old.

But he might live
longer than all of us.

- Let's just hope so.

But the fact remains that
Grand Duke Peter will inherit the crown.

And he has German roots.
He was adored by Frederick of Prussia.

What about the Grand Duchess?
- Katarina?

The empress has been waiting for seven
years from heirs to them.

His patience
is used up.

But what if,
Katariina would give birth to a son.

But it is
German too, right?

Hello Alexei, I know
what are the stakes here?

You can't help it
from choosing your side.

The Emperor of Y�n has
many aspects.

Which of them are not
however, do not be political.

You may be a countryman,
but stupid.

Sergei Vasilievich.

You are very charming
yes, if I may say so boldly.

I don't know how courage works
to when you say that every day.

Your Highness is
so charming...every day.

May I introduce you to the general
Fyodorovich Praxim.

Your Imperial Highness.

It is very brave of you
come here, general.

Katarina.
- Hard.

Sorry.

What do you think?
what about her, Dashkova?

Oh General Praxim?
- About Saltykov.

There is at least no doubt about that
what do you think of him.

It's a dangerous game�.
Your actions are being monitored.

What about you?
- I'm not scared.

But you must have noticed,
how everyone comes to me

I send directly abroad
or simply dismissed from the court.

It also applies to servants.

I haven't met anyone yet
who would want to get rid of me, madam.

Will your highness take you
against the Grand Duchess?

You left me alone today.

Why? - Yes, the devil will take you away
you know that. I don't approve of that!

Why the hell should I?
wear such clothes?

Because Empress Elizabeth
looks good in men's clothes.

I look absolutely ridiculous.

Finally something
on which we agree.

Your Highness showed well.

Not participating in hunting?

I'm not that stupid.
There's a storm coming from there.

I caught the catch.

Now is your chance.
- Yes, eno.

Allow me, Your Highness.

Tell them to pack.
We are going back to St. Petersburg.

What about the others?
- Who else?

A hunting party.
- They can spend the night at the hunting lodge.

Quite a rain.

Do you allow?
- Your Highness.

Come on.

Sergei.

Show the bridge,
that you are lost.

That's how it turned out.

We don't wash
To St. Petersburg tonight.

We are all satisfied
sleep in a hunting lodge.

You better go, Sergei,
before you endanger me.

I'm thinking of you every day
moment every day.

All night long.

Even a little longer.

Katarina, it is
too dangerous.

Next is y�n�.
- The next night we are in St. Petersburg.

But yes.
Of course, the next night.

All �in�, my love.

do you really love me

It's crazy, and well
probably suicidal.

But yes.
I really love you.

Hard, Hard, Hard...

It's easy for you,
when there is already a husband.

But I never see him.
- What about the lovers?

Well, I did
my education in France.

Exactly.
Not only that.

It's not just her body,
which is absolutely awesome by the way.

He cared about me,
he's thinking about me.

He loves me.

He really loves me.

Did you see it?
Are you sure about that�?

Is Count Vorontsov
also aware of this?

I haven't told him what, but
he has friends in secret sources of information.

Yes, you know.
- Thank you for your loyalty.

I will not leave you without a reward.

But Vorontsov is dangerous
a man, if you turn against him.

I trust you completely
for your protection.

Here's the list for dinner
of participants.

General Praxim. How long
has he been popular?

Several months.
- And always at Katariina's invitation?

Always.

He uses every rare opportunity
to the good that will be met.

So...

Saltykov.
The Empress has chosen well.

He comes from a noble family and
Your name is Galitza.

We could go
even worse.

We would probably be satisfied
leave, my love. - I know.

Before they change the guard.
- Not yet. Go ahead.

I love you very much.

Sergey, I'm not sure
but i think i'm pregnant.

And of course the whole Court knows that
Pietari and I sleep separately.

Not sure? What the hell
what does he really mean?

Is he or isn't he?

I...I think
it is, ma'am.

He and Pietarin have
start sleeping together.

Right, ma'am. But there it is
er�s the Grand Duke's problem...

His physical disability.

Oh, that's it again...

Then he's gone
for surgery. It's the only way.

Your majesty does not
perhaps understand the nature of the problem.

Well, enlighten me
regarding the matter.

It's about...

reproductive organ, ma'am.

The surgical procedure required is...

circumcision.

Is that so.

It doesn't sound like
so terribly bad.

Well, no, ma'am.

But the Grand Duke's friends are not
have lured him into surgery.

The devil takes you away
you to it.

I can certainly try, madam,
but...

You have to do more,
like a company.

I believe I did
to clarify the matter.

Yes, ma'am.

Or that circumcision...

Yes, you can do it.

Honor the cup.
Exactly.

Yes.

Well done.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.
Look.

Yes.

Well done sir.

That's why.

Your Highness.

Quickly, quickly.

Put them on the table.

Turn him around...now!

To Peremm, doctor.

I tell him that he
slipped and crushed myself into shards of glass.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

Elizabeth!
Long live Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

Long life!

Elizabeth!

Katarina!

Katarina!

Long live Katarina!

Katarina!

This doesn't work alone.

Tell them to stop that.

I'll let them know, ma'am.

Do you want one?

Long live Katarina!

He is cunning.
- Maybe too much.

Come here.

I don't think so
this would be my first time.

Undress that.

Look.

Look!

Katarina.

What do you want?

You don't understand what
what?

It was rape.

No, no, and again no.

How many times this
need I say? German style!

Your Highness has explained
music in the Italian style.

Sure, but
the interpretation is in the German style.

Again.

Yes.

Do you hear?

Organization and format.

Discipline...German style.

You look charming.

I have to admit that
he is indeed musically talented.

You guys were... just awesome.
I am so proud of you.

Naryshkin.

The Empress's health appears to be deteriorating, Chancellor.
- Your Highness.

I heard that your majesty
is blocked.

Her Majesty's health
worries us all.

Really.

I heard that Count Vorontsov
Vice Chancellor of the Ministry.

You are very knowledgeable about things.

Appointed against your advice.
- Very knowledgeable about things.

At least like that
who lived in prison as a prisoner.

Fantasy, your highness.

You objected to my marriage
thinking I would support the German Confederation.

Don't you then?
- No way.

We've been enemies for a long time,
chancellor. Maybe too long.

Maybe, but the empress,
is the one who m���� -

and I just follow
stupid, like all of us.

Fantasy, Chancellor.

It is true that Mr. Saltykov
has acted according to the regulations.

You didn't know that, did you?

Why did you tell me this?
- Politics is brutal, madam.

Are you sure you can handle it?

You are not needed, countess.
- Hard, j��!

Get out of here!

Why the hell me
not invited before?

You have to wait here.
- What? It is a matter of the state.

Vice Chancellor Vorontsov is there
with the empress.

Thank God.
It's a boy.

Father and son
and in the name of the holy spirit...

No! He is my child!

He is my child!

Where is he?
- Sergei.

He sent me to Sweden.
Your son as special ambassador.

His majesty
has a good command of irony.

You don't say anything else?
My career at court is ruined.

What did you expect?
Title�? Position?

1000 servants?
- What exactly do you mean?

That you would have set
in advance of your reward?

Katarina, listen to me.

What a lie they are
what they told you about me is a lie.

I love you.

Speak to the empress for me, she will listen
you. You can't do this to me.

I do love you.

How can you doubt that?
Do you remember our first night?

Just yes. It reminds
me always because

a man can practice whoredom
profession here� where� a woman too.

You� slut. What do you think?
what will he do to you?

He will destroy you too.

You don't see yet. He will destroy you.

It became clear.
For one man.

IT�-PRUSSIA 1757

We have seen enough already.

That's all we do,
than watch and wait.

Commands are commands,
brother good.

We were supposed to be Prussians in the war
I won't play hide and seek with them.

I'm doing something now.
You� and me�.

Don't be stupid, Grigory.

If you do nothing,
that's what I do.

Gregory!

Attention!

To the stations!

Catch him!

Attention!

Shoot them!

Cowards.
- Idiot.

There are twice as many of them
see you sir

Thank you, Captain.
- Perhana, there will never be a better opportunity for us.

Thank you, Captain.
- Sir.

It's like talking to a wall.
- Then we won't take our hands off.

Great idea, Persei.

Your brothers know how to fight,
but doesn't understand anything about politics.

Many young officers are
I agree with him.

I know that. Rejecting
tomorrow is impossible.

The empress can't
let's do it anyway.

Other ships go to another
in one direction and some in the other.

This is absolutely hopeless.

We need a win.
- I do not agree with the Chancellor.

Min� I would recommend caution.

Caution is not
style of General Praxim.

Not even your majesty.

It makes sense to expect a win
sure, before he strikes.

I agree, but it takes a wise man
I know when the circumstances are right to act.

And that's what I mean, ma'am.
The opportunity has come.

Ask you, yes
Praxim crushes enemies.

This is not me.

This is not Elizabeth.

Old is not beautiful.

Once upon a time there was a man who belonged to the chief,
who did tricks on the staircase.

With one hard job, he managed
finish the job while still in the air.

Your Highness is
I'm full of wit.

And you are full of elegance.

Listen!
Another fire, in the kitchen.

Quickly, so we don't miss out.

In a world with tarnished silver
would be called elegance,

St. Petersburg could be there
I guess call it witty.

Your Highness.

Here is a letter to your friend
to General Praxim.

It calls him to war
and to victory.

What do you want me to do?
- Sign it.

May I remind you,
that� I am not allowed to write letters�.

The empress won't let me
even write on my own �id.

General Praxim can give
the profit we need.

But he knows that
if the empress dies

and Peter comes to power, yes
Peter will end the war.

That's why he holds.

I understand that, but so what
the letter from me affects that.

It gives him the impression,
that you are going to share power.

You use your own influence
to continue the war.

But not power sharing
come to the question.

Not for me,
especially not for Peter.

He already hates it
afraid to see me too.

If he gets power, it will be acquired
I almost got rid of it.

No... If I�m in control,
i do it alone

Your Highness,
you are asking too much.

You are asking too much of me.

What if the empress
get a hint from this?

I would have gone.

All or nothing.

If I devote myself to you, you will
you also devote yourself to me then.

Do you do that?

I do.

Understand me, my purpose is to rule
the empress on my own terms.

Is it agreed?
- Agreed.

In this case
i can sign.

Bestu�ev wrote a letter, madam,
but Katariina signed it.

Scheming and scheming,
it doesn't work!

It doesn't work! Take care of it.
And bring Katariina here.

Count Vorontsov.
- Mrs.

I name you Chancellor.
- Your majesty.

I want an end to that war.
- Your majesty has decided wisely.

As you know it is
making a contract.

What the hell are you talking about?

I don't want my army running around
home, like a whipped dog.

I want to win!

Count Alexei Petrovit� Bestu�ev,
you have been detained by order of the empress.

Let's take care of this then
get out from under.

Inside.

Close the door.

I have your letter
to General Praxim.

Well?
Here is your signature.

Do you deny it?
- No, ma'am.

How dare you assume you can
Send a message to my general?

I didn't send the messages.

If your majesty
just read the letter.

His majesty has denied it
you stopped writing letters.

That's right.

What do you say to that?
traitor whore?

Excuse me, ma'am, but shall I?
what about my husband or my empress?

To me, ma'am.

marry me
how dare you deny that?

Read the letter, madam.

It's yours
acceptance policy.

That's why we get what we've been longing for
victory. That's why I sent it.

But I was still there.

I don't deny my mistakes,
I'm not asking for forgiveness.

I only ask that I may
to go back to my own country.

My husband hates me.

I have no friends. And I have caused
great honor to your majesty.

I'm at the very end.

What about your son?

I would leave them in your care. I wouldn't ask for anything
change for him, I know you love him.

This is a conspiracy.
He's scheming all the time.

He's plotting against me.
He hates me.

He is cold towards me,
but still spread his legs...

Shut up!

Ask her about her lovers.
Ask about Saltykov.

Shut up!

leave us
right now.

You too, Chancellor.

I won't send you away.

You never do
thought so, eh?

To be honest,
I wasn't quite sure, ma'am.

No scheming
I will not be in the future.

I have never plotted
against your majesty.

Never.
- It's good.

Now tell me when I'm dead
will you take over?

I'll take it.

Excuse me, ma'am.
- Just be there, Razumovsky.

I treat you badly.
- No.

Yes, I treat you.
- No.

You had the sense to grow old with dignity,
while I tried to stay forever young.

Whenever I needed you
you were by my side

What do you do for Bestu�ev?
- I'll banish them to their places.

What do you think of Katariina?

I see greatness in him.

Greatness...

I saw it sometimes
once myself.

My reign
has failed.

We don't need to
pretending to each other.

I have not got
at what time.

I have not got
no change.

Maybe he will do better.

Would you nominate Paul as your successor?

And Katariina's wife as deputy ruler?
- I don't know.

Does it have a space?

With me.
Let's go!

Captain Orlov?

Captain.

Thank you.

This is your day, General.
- Undoubtedly.

Tomorrow... who knows��.

Inside.

Orlov.
- Sir. - Good.

May I introduce to the count,
Captain Grigory Orlov.

Orlov, here is a very important prisoner, the Count
Schwering, the closest person to the King of Prussia.

He has taken you to St. Petersburg and you
has been chosen to take you there.

Made sure not to
he runs away.

Running away? Dear General,
I thought you thought I was a gentleman?

I've always wanted to
See St. Petersburg.

The general told me,
that you fought bravely today.

I take my hat off to you for that.

If I were the Tsar,
you would not be a prisoner of war.

Your Highness,
food is covered.

Good, I'm already hungry. Sweetheart,
lead the Count to the dining table.

Sure, Your Highness.

Your Highness.
- I'm not eating today.

How come? Get up.

I do not have an appetite.

I told you to get up.

Come count, I'll go
we already

This is an insult to us
to our honored guest.

Or do you just respect him?
- I respect that.

Then why did you send them?
to dine under your whore's arm?

Do as they say, dammit!

There are some who think you are fraternizing with the enemy
with, which can be interpreted as betrayal.

For example, according to the empress�.

Isn't that pretty cool, Passek?

Our prisoners can enjoy a toast in St. Petersburg, when
we have to wait outside like lackeys.

Look over there!

It's him
I'm sure of it�.

The Grand Duchess.

That seems to be the case.

Orlov, what are you doing?

Grigory Orlov,
at your service, ma'am.

What madam? You don't know
who am i captain

Yes, I know, Your Highness.
- In that case, you are very brave.

I am, ma'am.
- And very imprudent.

There too.

Did you see his eyes?

You're crazy.

Shall I bet 100 rubles?

Let's say 1000 rubles.
- Agreed.

His father was
Governor of Novgorod.

He has five brothers,
all in the army.

And what about her?
- Low retinue, no one cares.

No way
would be taken to court.

He simply doesn't have it
high enough value.

It's a shame.

I think he is the most handsome
the man I've ever seen.

I want to meet them.

Can you arrange it? Of course
you can You can arrange anything.

I'm not afraid of Katariina.
He is the same as nothing.

May I have more coffee?
Elizabeth.

It's just talk.

- True, but listen to what�
His Highness has something to say.

As fate would have it
the throne is yours.

Nothing can prevent it.

But in politics,
you can never know��.

Katariina thinks she is wise.
He thinks he's scaring me.

But what can he do
to do?

Elizabeth, Your Highness's coffee.
- Maybe half a cup.

What can he do?
- Maybe not what.

But when so much
is at stake

why take risks�,
when they could be prevented.

King Frederik is worried
for your highness's safety.

He offers you
personal guards.

Do you mean his own troops?
- That's right, ma'am.

King of Prussia
personal bodyguards?

Think Peter.
- Of course, they would only take orders from you.

And only from you.

King Frederik is your friend.
In turn, I ask him to consider the offer.

Come further,
Captain Orlov.

Montesquieu.
I enjoyed reading a lot.

Do you like it?

Don't worry.

I have heard that�
you have different skills.

Writing, drinking,
gambling...

fight, Did you forget something?

Only one.

Oh, that's right.

I don't think so
had forgotten.

I wanted to leave
best last.

Fuck you, Aleksei.
- And you owe me another 100 rubles.

And for me 1000 rubles.
- Was he there?

Did you meet him?
- Did I meet you? I pressed him all night.

You don't believe? do you want
to show the scars?

1000 rubles please.

You can then pay
when he is on the throne.

We can swim in money then, us
all. Swim, spin and drown in it.

He is a wild man,
but beautiful wild.

Can barely write
own name.

Do you think I'm crazy?
- He's a drunkard, a womanizer, a bigot.

And a hero.
- How did Elizabeth come to power?

Who put him on the throne?
The army, not the generals.

The right army, lieutenants,
the captains.

You use him to your advantage.
- Of course.

Be careful not to fall in love with him.
- I won't make that mistake again.

By God's will, at least
With Grigory.

Hydrogen...

Maybe...

Well?
- Yes, he survived.

For God's sake.

Good stuff.

More?

He always complains,
that I don't make this strong enough.

From one to five pints of coffee
into the cup, so he wants it.

Oh dear.

He had a seizure again
two days ago.

But he got through it.

But for how long?
- No one knows, madam.

It could take weeks
or months.

Months?
- No.

Can't go
no�� months.

Call the regiment with us.

But what about the Preobra of the Life Guard
regiment? - I don't know.

Grigory, did you hear? We have
The Semyonov Regiment of the Life Guards.

What's wrong with you?

Why doesn't he die?
Why won't that old bitch die?

Katariina is pregnant.
Fifth hearing.

Her Majesty the Empress
Elizabeth lived a long life.

The late majesty
last will and testament.

Who was not named.

His Imperial Highness, Grand Duke Peter,
is now the Grand Duke of all of Russia.

Long live Tsar Peter III!

Long live Tsar Peter III!

Hooray, hooray!

Hurrah!

If you would be so friendly?
- I prefer to stay by my husband's side.

The Grand Duke doesn't want to
you to it.

Then I want to talk to my husband.

They were his
Your order, ma'am.

If you would be so friendly?

His majesty wants
for you to join him, madam.

His majesty wants
for you to join him, madam.

This is fooling around
has been going on long enough.

I warn you, ma'am.

Why doesn't he come?

I'm forcing them.
- Your majesty...

I wouldn't advise that.

He is right, your majesty.

Sit down.

The Imperial Court takes over
two new manuals.

His majesty has sent
today's special messenger to Berlin.

The war is over.

The second manual concerns,
church lands.

All the lands and property of the church will come
almost entirely in the possession of the imperial treasury.

Battalion!

Stop!

Is this the best
what can you offer?

I just obey
given orders, sir.

Well, then that
may be fine, for now.

Why were we fired?
out of parakeet?

Enough! You received the order,
act on them!

Battalion!
Forward, mars!

Men don't like to throw
I want to get away from my own parakeets.

I don't care what men
complain, the order came directly from the tsar.

Just take care
because they obey.

Do you like this? So you will do
against these bastards too.

Haven't you started thinking
would it have been worth the trouble at all?

Nobody gets
you know who he is.

We want to meet
prisoner no.1.

You know who
prisoner no. 1 is, Mirovich?

Tsar Ivan.
- What do you know about Tsar Ivan?

Only that they were put here
as a child when Elizabeth took over.

Have you talked about this?
outside of whom?

No, sir.
- Good. Never mind.

The lady's orders to him were that
the priest may be called to him, but not the priest.

If someone tried to approach
without the ruler's command,

his guards are
determined to kill him.

I confirm that statement.

The count
- Your majesty.

Go tell Katariina,
to come here with us.

He is not well.

Well, tell him then,
that I'll wait for him, maybe later.

What's wrong with him?

Don't you know?
He dripped.

A horse's back?
- Not out of a sense of superiority.

Good evening.
- Evening.

for Catherine II.

Shut up.
Shut up!

Fire alarm.
Come on. �ok�!

Good, good...
Just like that.

Quickly!
Quickly!

It's exciting.
Peter!

Are you sleeping or what?
Quick, quick! Fill it up!

Isn't he great?
- Well, it is.

FOUR MONTHS LATER

Speaking of intuitive, am I ever
told the story of the princess and the blue vase?

You don't. - That's what he told me
Mishkan, the great decorator.

There was a princess who
traveled to Paris and bought a vase there.

It was blue, but not just anything
blue but a wonderful royal blue.

And he had to paint everything
the rooms of his palace in the same color.

All the decorative painters one after the other
tried to imitate that same blue.

No one succeeded.

Finally he called the Mishkan,
who barely made a living then.

But within a few days,
he managed to imitate the color perfectly.

And his future
was secured.

He was already very old,
when I knew him.

But one day
I asked him...

Bowl.
For the Imperial Family.

You fool.

Fool!

Why didn't you get up
among others?

Because I belong
to that imperial family.

In the future you will rise!
Is that clear, ma'am?

So, one day,
you asked him.

How did you manage to get the right color,
even if everyone else there failed?

Easily, he replied.

I painted the vase again.

He painted the vase.

Really good.

I guess you know a monastery for him.

I have declared war
against Denmark.

I'm going to lead the army myself.

I'll crush those Danes.
I make them hack.

But what about you
should your relationship be done?

Lock in a fortress?

No matter what, your majesty
seems best.

I'm not happy with you either.
You should be strangled.

You think I wouldn't dare?

I think your advisor
would not recommend it.

I'm going on a trip tomorrow.

You go to St. Petersburg, you can't
to meet someone there, was it clear?

I've had enough
of your scheming and scheming.

You wait for me there.
I'll be back on the 29th.

My name day.

You could cook for me
food then. Would you do that?

By your majesty
has gone unnoticed.

Leave me alone.

Let go.

He was drunk
and he insulted the Tsar.

Is he being tortured?
- No.

He spoke of treason,
we have witnesses.

He is exactly
rapak�nnis�, h�lm�.

You can't get anything out of him,
before he has become clear.

I won't see you again in the morning.
Take them away.

Sorry sir, you can't...
- Out of the way!

His majesty
is blocked.

Where is he?
- He's not dressed yet.

Alexei!

Excuse me, your majesty.
- What's wrong?

Passek was arrested last night.

How much do you know?
- Too much. All.

If he flinches,
we are gone.

Now is the time
in any case.

Ask them to harness the best
horseflesh. Grays are the fastest.

And Alexei, have some breakfast,
as I have also taken.

It's a tough day ahead.

As your majesty...
As Empress Catherine II says.

Now advise me, Dashkova.

Oh advise you?

My good friend, I am hijacking
all of Russia.

What should I do?
put on me?

Long live Katarina!

The whole army supports you�.
Every regiment.

I pledge allegiance
for Catherine II.

I pledge allegiance
for Catherine II.

What do you have there,
lieutenant?

Can I see it?
- Of course, your majesty.

Would you lend me this?
- It would be an honor, Your Majesty.

Thank you.

I pledge allegiance
for Catherine II.

Is he awake?

No.
- Wake them up.

Wake them up!

Peter.

Peter.
- What do they really want?

I don't know.
Something is wrong.

Where does my coffee stay?
I want my coffee.

Something is wrong.

What the hell now?

Is your majesty
heard anything about Katariina?

He is at St. Petersburg's court. We're going
there in honor of my name day.

It's my name day.
- Shows that he may be in St. Petersburg.

Leave immediately
and take your best men with you.

Find them and kill them.

Your mercy, when my husband took over, he
made a mistake in taking your land and property.

I promise to return all that old
inheritance back to the holy church.

Catherine?

Katarina!

In the name of the Holy Church
i acknowledge you -

as ruler and of God
to be anointed empress.

His Highness the Tsar
You have been arrested on the orders of Peter.

How dare you bring weapons
To the Lord's room?

I warn you, ma'am.

I warn you�.

What would you do, Count Schwering?

Would you shoot me?
This?

Then shoot.

We have to be found
new bras, right?

How dare you?

Your majesty, I am
I have submitted my resignation.

Do you think I would settle for that?

You should have your head cut off,
Count Vorontsov.

Or so me
is at least advised to do.

Do you think that is good advice?

Your majesty cannot assume
me to be impartial to that.

On the contrary, I don't wait
what else from you.

Get up.

Get up!

Well?

Well, I'd say, ma'am, that�
despite our differences,

things are finally balanced.

I agree. You pointed to the former
great loyalty to the Tsar.

And for the late empress.

Loyalty to a ruler, a man
or for a woman who happens to rule.

That's right, ma'am.

I reject your resignation,
Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Your majesty.

A letter from my husband.

List of requesters.

He wants his dog, his violin,
black moor goldfish and foreign silvers.

What would you advise to do?

I don't see it there
what's wrong.

I don't either.

Requests are agreed to,
but no foreign silver.

Mrs.

Have you decided what to do with her?

What would you do?

In some cases, an inconvenience
can be controlled by certain events.

Or at events?

Whatever happens, you guys
your majesty can count on my support.

7th day of the ruler of Russia
about the change, we were told that�

against former Tsar Peter III
has been rejected and he has been strangled.

Say you didn't mean it.
- Hard.

You don't know ordinary Russians,
you think you know, but you don't.

To them he was
chosen tsar.

They will never forgive you.
You can never be safe.

Enough!

Swear to me that�
you didn't miss it.

Of course I didn't complain about it.
