(Music playing.)

Announcer: "1779.

There's been a war going on for two years now
between Austria and Prussia

for the Bavarian lands.

The Austrian Emperor Joseph the Second
started this war,

in an effort to compensate his empire
for territorial losses.

But the Prussian Emperor
Frederick the Great, unwilling to allow

the growing influence in Europe of Austria
and King Joseph,

desperately resisting.

Both sides are exhausted and unyielding.

Both are requesting military aid
from the Russian Empire.

However, Catherine does not wish
to participate in the war.

She needs support herself,

but she can't count on Potemkin
she can't count on Potemkin.

The Serene Prince no longer wishes to be
by her side.

(Market bell rings.)

(Horse neighs.)

- And our prince is no slacker.
Look how the tree is curling!

A Zapravsky rubennik, not a barin.

- Christ, too, consider,
of our woodworkers--

but the whole of God!
- Brigadier, take the job.

- Grigory Alexandrovich.
- That, Prince, is good.

Look, men.
- Lansky, great, Sasha.

Did you make it? Talk to me.

- From the capital. By mail coach.

Grigory Alexandrovich,
you should be careful.

A simple man can do this kind of work
can do it himself.

- I know. We're building our own fleet,
the Black Sea.

How can you not get your hands on it, huh?
Look, it's beautiful!

- Is that why you don't want
to return to St. Petersburg?

- I don't want to. It's stuffy in there, Sasha.
It's stuffy.

(Seagulls screeching)

- Maria Theresa's attempts to persuade
to get Joseph to make peace have been fruitless.

- Prussia and Austria are exhausted
by this war.

And they're both looking to Russia for support,
and that's not good for us.

- I dare say that in order to successfully
of our campaign in the South,

we need Austria,
unburdened by war.

- It would have been better for everyone
if Friedrich and Joseph were reconciled.

But the initiative must come from Joseph.
He's the one who started this war.

- I believe Joseph is confident
in his victory.

- If you were sure,
he didn't ask for our involvement.

- Oh, not even his own mother
couldn't reason with him.

What can we do?

Letter from Catherine: "My dear Prince
Grigory Alexandrovich,

matters of state require
your participation.

I therefore ask you to move
immediately to the headquarters near Teshin.

Take one
trustworthy person

and keep your departure a secret.

I'll see you in two weeks.

I trust you won't let me down."

- Kato.
- Here you are, Grisha.

- Sorry I'm late.
There was a hitch at the crossing.

- Who is it? Why did they let me in?
- Prince Potemkin is there

along with the adjutant.

- I've been writing. It's an important emergency.
- I can't trust anyone,

just you.
Did you take a masquerade face?

- My adjutant, Captain Lansky,
a reliable man.

- All right. [Clears throat] Are you ready to begin?
- Yes, Your Majesty.

- We can do it.
- My life will be spared, Your Majesty.

- It's your life you should spare.

You'll need it later.

- The Empress must not be disturbed.
neither the Chancellor nor the Field Marshal,

or the Lord God himself.
You answer with your head.

- Yes, Your Lordship.

Your Excellency, there's an urgent matter
on urgent business from the head of the guard.

- To hell with him, let him come in.

Your Excellency,
Nikolai Vasilyevich,

if I may report.
Prince Potemkin has just

accompanied by
a cavalry officer arrived.

and immediately left the bet.

- Grigory Alexandrovich himself?
Why didn't you report it?

- We didn't have time, Your Ladyship:
He was gone before you could blink an eye.

He went in with an officer to see the Empress,
and came out together.

I swear on my honor, it was not the officer
who came to see the Empress.

- What cavalryguard? What are you talking about?

- The big one was big,
and he came out small.

It was only the second time
to get on the horse.

Where did you ever see a cavalryman
couldn't get on his horse?

- What, Grisha, you do not ask,
where are we going?

- I get it, what's the point?
On the direction of the Austrian bet.

So you've decided to force Joseph
to make peace?

And in order not to compromise your imperial honor
not to drop his imperial honor in front of Europe,

decided to make the whole thing in secret.
- Easy with you, Grisha.

- What I don't understand is:
Why do you need me?

For something like this.
she could have used her Vanya.

- I could. But I want you.
You're not happy?

- All I care about
is that you're happy.

(Horse neighs.)

They speak German:
- Emperor and God!

- God and Emperor!

- Your Imperial Majesty,
I am Colonel Schmidt, convoy commander.

We will accompany you.
- Thank you, Colonel.

We can go.

- Wait a minute. Your companion should
to stay here.

- That's out of the question.
I am accompanying the Empress.

- That's an order.
- To hell with orders!

I am Prince Potemkin,
I will stay with the Empress.

In Russian: - Enough, Grisha.
Czars do not fight with czars.

Soldiers do that.
Stay and wait for me here.

In German: - Pleased to meet you,
my dear brother Joseph.

And I'm even more excited for us to meet in person
to meet one-on-one.

I hope she'll be frank.
- Well, dear sister,

frankly so frankly.

- Bastards. Bastards. If, uh.

If the Empress is not found by morning,
you have yourself to blame, Brother.

You will go to the scaffold!
As a conspirator and a king-killer.

- To the scaffold, then to the scaffold.
I swore an oath to the Mother Sovereign.

I'll answer to her.
- You rascal!

- Nikolai Vasilyevich, calm down.
Calm down.

The Empress left
to a pre-arranged meeting,

but they built a secret,
so the Prussians wouldn't get wind of it.

- However!
- A matter of national importance.

Joseph: - I have to admit,
I couldn't have guessed,

that Friedrich would so quickly destroy
all my arrangements

with the Duke of Bavaria,
and France and England in this

will tacitly support.
Now Europe does not have that balance,

that we could all count on.
- I didn't.

King Frederick
is a very serious opponent,

and starting a war with Prussia
was definitely not the right time.

Now we must think of peace,
Your Imperial Majesty.

- But now Friedrich will want
to participate in a further division

of the Bavarian lands.
- Why not?

The trumps are in Frederick's hands,
and the continuation of hostilities

presents Russia with a difficult
to choose which side to take.

The defeat of a key ally
puts us on the losing side,

even though we've been against the war
against the war.

- I am well aware of the views
Prince Potemkin

and your State Secretary Bezborodko.

So what do you suggest?

- You, dear brother, started this war,
and Russia needs to end it.

Engage in peace talks -
and keep your army

and some part of Bavaria.
- Some part? Let's say.

Who's gonna give us a guarantee?
- Я.

I will act as guarantor
and my army of Repnin.

- Instead of a turkey, its hiccups?

A generous reward.
I thought we were allies.

- I'm saving you as an ally.

- Grisha...
- А?

- Grisha, why are you not cheerful?
The case is such a thing with you made.

- You did the deed, and I was the guard dog.
for once. All the work.

- How long you haven't loved me, Grisha!
I longed for you.

Heart aches and rejoices. Grisha!

What's going to happen to us now?

You're mad at me.

You're making up things to do,
like you're trying to escape.

Have I become so bad for you?

- Kato, you and I are married
before God,

and I keep our sacred secret
guarded and remembered, but, uh.

You want me to sit at your feet as a leurette.
sitting at your feet, looking at your mouth?

You know that's not gonna happen.

For this purpose, you must use your king
of Epirus,

he's just a little bit smarter than a monkey.

- It's like you're trying to hurt me
you want to hurt me.

You don't love me anymore?

- If you only knew
how hard it is to love you.

Believe me, sometimes I can't stand it,
I can't even climb the walls.

I don't know who can handle the burden.

- You're mad at me.

- I have no right to be upset with you.

I realize that I have an opponent
a tougher opponent than most.

Russian state.

- And this rival in my heart.
not even you can beat.

- Behind those hills are our posts.

We'd better get back before dinner,
or they'll flog my adjutant,

and he has to go to Suvorov in the Crimea.
today, Madam.

- Ready to fight! Ready! Begin!

- How beautiful your new favorite
beautiful, my dear Katyusha.

May God grant us such harmony.
both outward and inward.

The most handsome of all your
of all your fans.

- Count Korsakov is not bad-looking,

but it's bad enough that you yourself
hears about it,

so he's posing a little too much.

Why did you make this fight?
To prove yourself?

- You, my dear, are poisonous,
You've got it all wrong.

Meanwhile, a man's stature
is pleasing to the eye and invigorating to the senses.

Isn't that right, Katish?

Any feelings, Sashenka,
must be stirred and stirred.

Without adventure, love dies.
- Love is either there or it's not.

Dangers secretly add spice to love.
but they don't intensify it.

- Zakhar, don't let anyone in,
I want to rest.

- What's the matter with you, my soul,
my soul?

Did I do something to upset you?
- It's not all your fault, Vanechka.

- Not all of it, I know.
But I know how to take your sadness away.

I know and I know.
- I can't deal with you right now.

- I'll be quiet.

You be sad, and I'll be by your side.
I'll be by your side.

- Why are you here?
Is Mother not well?

- Vanya's in there.

- That's good. Third day blacker than night
and maybe it'll cheer him up.

- What do you mean she can't take it?
What's my mother so busy with,

that she doesn't have time
even for her own son?

- Her Majesty is deciding
important affairs of state.

Especially since you don't have an appointment.

- Are you saying that in order to see my mother
to see my mother, I have to have a record?

Let me in now!

- Stepan Ivanovich, if you'd be so kind,
remind Mr. Saltykov,

why he was assigned to the Cesarevitch.

Let him start doing
his duties,

or we'll find a new mentor.

- As you command, Your Majesty.

- Your Highness, please,
please go home.

- Do you remember who you're talking to?
I'm in my place!

This is my palace by right,
I inherited it from my father!

And she usurped it! Usurped it!

I mean, you mean the mongrel puppies
that she takes to bed with her,

she has time,
but not the rightful heir?

- Mother, look at this.

Mr. Novikov, the publisher.
after our suggestion to him

he closed his magazines, "Truthen"
and "The Painter" closed,

but here's what the bastard did instead.

I dare say,
this is no longer freethinking--

it's already an insult.

Most Serene Prince
Grigory Alexandrovich

I warned you about him a long time ago.
- I did.

How's it going with your lordship?

Is everything ready for the signing
of the Treaty of Teshin?

- Everything is ready, Your Majesty.
We expect it any day now.

invitations to a gala reception
from King Frederick.

(Music playing.)

- To the health of Catherine the Great,

of the merciful autocrat of Russia,

reconcilers and intercessors!

- Vanya, it's not time.

- This new favorite is
is a foolish upstart.

It's a good thing that Potemkin has received his resignation
from the Empress' chambers.

That's good for us.

- Today we see the birth
of a new Europe.

Thanks to Her Majesty's efforts,

two of yesterday's adversaries
are at the negotiating table today.

It's a diplomatic victory.
Viva! Viva!

(Music playing.)

- But at the same time.
we can't ignore

on the experiences of our brother
King Louis

about the Russian troops
Russian troops.

This violates the terms of the peace treaty
between Russia and Turkey.

- What a pleasure, dear uncle,
that you and your brother Louis

you can always give
friendly advice to your Fikkhen.

In the meantime, Turkey has repeatedly
violated the terms of the peace treaty,

interfering in the affairs of the independent
Crimean Khanate.

The Crimean Khan, in turn,
demanded military aid

on the Russian throne, while
General Suvorov had already spent six months

fighting the plague in the Crimea,
saving the locals

without firing a single shot.
So, uh. for Russia! Vivat!

Viva! Viva!

- That's a funny thing you said.
I should have him trained.

- Your Lordship, you--
- Vanechka, don't mind me.

The prince has heartburn.

- Has your Fikkin decided that she now
in control of all of Europe?

- My boy,
forcing us to make peace,

she's going to take care of her main business.
Crimea. That's her price.

I intend to stop her from doing that.

(Violin playing.)

- It is a great honor to be
to be presented to you, Your Majesty.

- They say you're a musical virtuoso,

and also committed to the ideas
of the Masonic fraternity

and you speak pretty good Russian.
Is that right?

- I strongly believe that power
should belong only to those

who possesses knowledge. The ideal
is an enlightened monarchy,

and you are an example of that, Your Majesty.

As for my knowledge of Russian,
it's quite sufficient,

to read the literary works
of Empress Catherine.

- You're quite justified
what they say about you. Did you know

that the Russian empress
and future emperor

big music lovers?
Only their tastes are different.

- You want me to instill
Cesarevitch Paul

our understanding of music?

- Favorite, the saloon bolognaise -
in the face of all Europe! A pacifier!

And he is a party to the Peace of Teschen,
not me, the rightful heir to the throne!

- It's quite possible, Pavel Petrovich,
that your non-participation

in the Teschen negotiations
is good for you.

After this arrangement of German affairs
Europe is clearly disappointed

by the present reign,
and all eyes will now be turned

for the reign that follows,
that is, yours.

You just have to be patient.

- My friend, you should listen to what Nikolai Ivanovich says.
to Nikolai Ivanovich's words.

There's a lot of reasonableness in them.
- I'm tired of being reasonable and patient.

It brings nothing to the table.

I'm gonna make my mother
will regret it,

that you underestimated me.

I will try to make her life worse
at all costs!

- Your Highness.

- A letter from King Frederick.

Uncle Friedrich writes that he recognizes
my right to the throne of Russia,

and advises you to name your son John.

in honor of John Sigismund
of Brandenburg,

the founder of the Prussian dynasty.
Oh, my goodness.

King Frederick loves me
and understands me much more,

than my own mother!

- Look how, under your watch.
the boy has spread his wings.

And the mind and the article have matured.

And how he plays! It takes your breath away.

- No talent for you, Praskovia.
Leave it.

I feel good and at peace with him.

(Applause.)

- With your permission, Katish.

Listeners: Bravo! Bravo!

- The Empress is delighted.
- I see.

- His Serene Highness has written
that he's not feeling well,

so I wasn't able to attend
to attend the luncheon.

- Jealous Prince
Grigory Alexandrovich.

He's jealous of your Vanechka.
- No. I know his jealousy.

It's not her.

But the fact that it's impossible to love me
he told me.

- Come on, Kato!
Gregory couldn't have said that.

They say things like that,
when another's heart is occupied,

and you're the only one he's ever had
he's always had a thing for you.

The Prince is moping, Mother.
There are many reasons!

He's got a temper.

- I remember,
the prince once had a crush on you.

Resurrect it. Break his moping.

- Come on, Kato.
You're gonna get me for this.

- I'll thank you. You got it?

Go, go, go.

Id.

- As you say, Your Majesty.
I'll take care of it.

- What do you think, am I wrong?

- It's not for Grigori's chicken
to save him from moping.

- If he's captivated by Praskovia,
then he'll take any girl to bed -

his heart is free.

But if he refuses her.
trouble, Savvishna.

So his heart is busy.

- My dear,
which one you like best:

Boucher or Fragonard?
- А... where's who?

- Ah, never mind. I don't know.

Come here.

(Knocking on door.)

Go to your room, little dove.

Come in!

- Alexander Andreyevich.
- Speak.

- On the postal route.
letters are intercepted, and, uh.

One of them is addressed to the valet
of the Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich.

And the sender...

Chamberlain to King Frederick of Prussia.
- Ah, what interesting acquaintances!

Did you make copies?

- And another rumor has surfaced:

that the letters from the period of the accession
have not been destroyed,

but it's in the possession of Princess Dashkova,
who is now traveling around Europe.

- How true is the rumor?

- It's hard to verify. But the timing

the Princess's departure coincides with the disappearance
of Count Orlov's letter from the archives.

(Groans.)

(Shouting.)

(Speaks German.)

- Your Highness, come here, come here!
I'm alone and there are two of you.

Your wife will need me more now.
Go to your room.

Go to your son Alexander.
Don't, don't look. Go away.

(Shouting.)

(Speaks German.)

- Your Ladyship,
Countess Bruce to receive.

- Say you're sick.
- Come on, Prince!

Don't shut me out.
- I can't shut you out.

I'm not feeling well, ma'am.
I apologize.

What business brings you to me,
Praskovya Alexandrovna?

- Why, Prince, when you have nothing to do.
can't you visit an old friend?

Why are you all alone and alone like a finger?

In the light, they say that the most luminous man
is once again in his favorite moping mood...

I was driving by.
I thought I'd stop by.

Maybe that kind of good fortune will happen,

that I could alleviate the ailment
of a great man.

Or, my friend,
we could reminisce about our youth.

- You can remember.

A lot of things have been forgotten.

- So we'll update.

Once upon a time, our memories
took my breath away.

You just say the word.

♪ I'll be your faithful
and gentle companion.

- I appreciate your concern, Countess,

and I have no doubt whatsoever
of your impulse to be a comforter,

but for my ailments.
I'm used to treating them myself.

I apologize, but it's time
for my clystery.

You shouldn't see such a spectacle.
(Rings bell.)

- Prince...

- Walk me through it.

(Laughter is heard.)

- Why are you blushing? Tell me.

- I'm sorry, Mother, I'm ashamed.

I just had to be reminded.
It's like my whole body's aching.

In short.
We agreed to see each other again soon.

He told me to keep it in the strictest of confidence
a secret from you. Don't give me away.

I'm sorry, Mother.
- What are you sorry for?

I asked you to.

He writes: "His Serene Highness Prince
Grigory Alexandrovich,

I hope by this letter
to bring you pleasure

and good spirits.

I confess to you,
that, having experienced mental weakness,

gave in to the impulse of love
and dared to hope for a reciprocation.

Henceforth, I assure you that I have no desire
to restrict your freedom.

You are free to organize your life
as you see fit.

Be useful to Russia in the place
and in that capacity,

wherever you see fit.

Just like before, though.

Goodwill to you Catherine."

- Congratulations, Your Highness.

You have a son.

- John. He will symbolize the friendship
between Russia and Prussia.

Two sons and two heirs.

I will do everything I can to raise
a worthy successor.

- The Empress, Princess Dashkova.
once again requests permission

to return to Russia.

- So you're tired of Europe?
There is nothing for her to do in Russia yet.

- I dare say:
there's a rumor going around Europe

as if the princess had letters in her possession
from the coup d'état,

including the missing letter
from Grigory Orlov.

- So, check it out, then we'll decide.

- As you command.

It has also come to light
that Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich

is in secret correspondence
with Friedrich.

We intercepted a letter.
- What's in it?

- King Frederick assures
the Grand Duke,

that he alone is the rightful
heir to the throne

and should rightfully reign
in Russia.

And she suggests that the baby-to-be be named
John.

If, of course, it's a boy.
- Old fox...

He's inciting Pavel Petrovich,
wants to do it under my nose

Prussian influence. Lustrate
all of the Grand Duke's correspondence

and report to me personally.

- Lt. Medical Officer Rogers,
Your Majesty.

- Your Imperial Majesty,

I have the honor to inform you
that the Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna

was safely delivered.

A boy, Your Majesty.

- A boy. Another heir.

Yay, gentlemen. The boy.

(Horse neighs.)

- You see, captain,
between Shagin and Devlet Girey.

an undisguised enmity
even though they're cousins.

Devlet looks toward the Turkish Sultan
is looking,

and Shagin is hoping for Russia.

All you have to do is pull it apart
to pull it apart,

and our hands are tied by the contract.

- After this, I'm guessing
it's gonna be quiet?

- We've won a few days.
It's all just petty skirmishes so far.

If it gets really hot,
we're not strong enough.

- Isn't blood enough for them? They're killing their own.

- The Turks are behind all these feuds
the Turks are behind it.

And they're not going to stop that easily.

Alexander Light Dmitrievich,
I'm sorry to let you go.

You turned out to be quite the officer.

Only you'll have to ride immediately
to St. Petersburg with a dispatch.

(Bell rings.)

- Blessed be God, who enlightens
and sanctifying every man,

to come into the world.
Now and ever and unto ages of ages.

The servant of God is anointed....

- John.

- Marya Fyodorovna was wrong.

The name of the newborn should be given
Konstantin.

The future Emperor of the reborn
Byzantium could not have a better name.

- God's servant Constantine is anointed.

with the oil of gladness in the name of the Father,
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen!

God's servant Constantine is baptized.

In the name of the Father. Amen.

And the Son. Amen.

And the Holy Ghost. Amen.

- Come on.

- John ... Alexander ...

- What does that mean?
She took our children.

How can you do that?

- I want my children back now!

You took Maria Feodorovna's sons away from her,
and she can't find a place of her own.

- Tell Maria Feodorovna,

that my grandchildren are being treated
in the best possible way.

I myself oversee the education
of future emperors.

- You, uh.

Is that any way for a mother to treat
to her son?

You're my mother. And I'm your son!

And I am the only one
legitimate heir to the Russian crown!

And it is I who should occupy the Imperial
not you! By law!

You are Regent, and that
only until I come of age.

Although what am I talking about...

Because your nephews killed my father,
didn't they?

You killed him and took my throne.

- So you allowed yourself to be armed
with gossip and accuse me?

Then try to accept
this story, too.

You are not my son.
Emperor Peter the Great is not your father.

I saw the baby 40 days
after the birth.

They say the baby didn't live a day.
He was replaced by another.

Think about it.
