(Music playing.)

- However it rains.

Standing again. Like on guard duty.
- Who are you talking about?

- The lieutenant colonel's aide-de-camp.
every morning at 8:00 a.m.

stands under the palace windows like a bayonet.

- Now I just need to figure out what he wants
and why he's so insistent.

- If it's worth it, you might as well ask.

- Ah, Mother, how good!
The composition of a truly ancient god.

Greek profile, angelic lips.

You won't regret it if you come close,
Your Majesty.

- I'll decide for myself, Sashenka. Cool down.
Is he watching?

- He's watching. He keeps staring,
like he wants to burn a hole.

- Your Majesty.
- Hello, captain.

What are you doing here in front of the palace?
- Waiting for you, Your Majesty.

- Why?
- You promised me.

You promised you'd let me
to accompany you on your walk.

And I don't know
when Your Majesty

is going out for a walk.
- What if I'm kidding?

- Are you kidding me?

- Well, right! Alexander Dmitrievich,
how naive you are.

Would you be so kind as to accompany me
on my trip.

- With great pleasure,
Your Majesty.

- Go, go! Go! Let's go!
Let's go!

- Uncle Grigory Alexandrovich,
I've just come from the palace.

The Empress has invited your
adjutant to accompany her to Gatchina.

- Okay. All right. Our plan is working.

Let's not leave Mother in grief.
As long as she doesn't find out.

Maybe now I'll have some peace of mind
to work.

The Turk is about to make a move.

In Europe, after the ambassador's assassination.
they wouldn't open their mouths.

I need to go to the Crimea.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry, sir. I didn't keep it safe.

You didn't save your little blood.
- Don't whine. What did you do?

- It's time to give birth.

My little snotty mama died, she died.
She died in childbirth.

Dead!

- And the baby?
- The girl's alive.

You have a daughter, Grigory Alexandrovich.
A daughter!

- I'm going with Matvey.
- I'll have him harnessed.

(Seagulls screeching)

- Mommy! Mommy!

- Sashenka! My son!

Your Majesty,
what a feast you have given us.

I don't know how to thank you.
Alexander's gotten so big.

The boy is growing up so fast.

- It always seems like
that kids grow up faster,

when they're not in front of us.

I don't see my son.

- Mother, good afternoon.

I was in the tower.
- He's got a telescope up there.

Alexander: - I want to look
through the spyglass.

- Sasha!
- You haven't been with your mom for a long time.

Stay with her.

- I want the tower!
I want a telescope!

- Ha ha! Well, since everyone wants to see
the telescope,

Pavel Petrovich, show us out.

- Give me your hand, Your Highness.
The stairs are very steep.

- I want to do it myself!

- Is this where you view
your domain?

So this is your
observation post.

- Yeah, as far as the--
let me-- optics.

- Can you see the imperial palace
can you see it from here?

- No. That's as far away
this pipe doesn't look that far.

But it's still the best model
in all of Europe.

A gift from King Frederick the Great.
- See the world through Frederick's eyes?

- Mother, it's just a pipe,
a set of glasses.

- Yeah, I get it, I get it.

And your desk looks like the desk
of a statesman.

Uh-huh. Gatchina regiments.

Who are you going to fight?
- It's, uh. just sketches.

Rather, it's about introducing new principles
of management.

- Militarized peasant
settlements.

And at whose expense are you going to support
your little army?

- At your own expense.

- Then, Your Highness, I must
to explain to you some basic truths.

It's not a game of chess.

The money to maintain your yard
comes from the Russian treasury.

Not Prussian, not Masonic.

And King Frederick, whose blessing
whose blessing you seek,

complaining in letters
about his own mother,

does not send you from his bounty.
I do.

And I want to know
what kind of foolishness you're up to.

- It's up to me to decide
what I do.

And it's not your business what I do!
- Your Highness,

with all due respect, you shouldn't raise your voice
to a woman,

much less your mother.
It is unworthy of a true nobleman.

- А... - Alexander Dmitrievich
is accompanying me on this visit.

I'll take your writings with me,
and read it at my leisure.

I will return everything.
Alexander, Your Highness, let's go.

- Alexander ...

Bezborodko writes:
"Gracious Princess!

With this letter I bring you
perhaps unpleasant news,

but your petition
to return to Russia

the Empress has yet to approve.

Perhaps this hiccup has something to do with the fact

that Her Majesty's heart is occupied
in search of a new favorite."

Dashkova reads:
- "...As we know, at such a time as this

the breadth of thought is noticeably narrower.
However, I hasten to assure you,

that I'll do my best to do the same,

"to facilitate your
return as soon as possible."

Ah, Paul, we're not going anywhere.

God knows, this great woman
could have been even greater,

if I didn't waste my heart
on men.

- Two copies by tonight, my good man,
without fail. - Good.

- Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce
the captain of the Life Guards

of the Izmailovsky regiment
Alexander Dmitrievich Lansky.

Has Grigory Alexandrovich
decided not to attend our council?

Well, Alexander Nikolayevich,
tell your uncle everything,

what happened at the meeting.
Describe it to him quickly.

- As you command, Your Majesty.

- Why are you standing?
Sit down, Alexander Dmitrievich.

- France's goal is to destroy
British domination of the New World,

now commonly referred to as America.
Both expect

for financial
and military aid to Russia,

to hold the colonies there.

- Alexander Andreyevich,
and what is your advice?

- I believe that help should be promised
to everyone, not to give it to anyone.

- I dare say, Alexander Andreyevich,

that England's support and ours
may soon be needed.

After Shagin-Girey kills the ambassador.
the Turks have been on the prowl,

and England has influence over the Sultan.

- England doesn't need to provide anything
to provide.

England has never kept her word
ever, and only cares for her own advantage.

- Alexander Dmitrievich, who would you
would you give military support to?

It's interesting to know your opinion.

- Sovereign Empress,
I'm not good at politics.

But I swear on my honor, there is no greater
happiness for a Russian soldier,

how to fight for the interests of the Motherland
and the Mother of State,

or you can put your head down.

And on which side.
that's for you to decide.

- Herr Rothmister is right.
While England and France are fighting,

Russia must look out
its own interests.

Now, for her, it's a rapprochement
with Austria and Emperor Joseph,

who has a grudge against the Turks
as much as we do.

If our interests are aligned,
then we have to make it happen,

so that Emperor Joseph will support our
our policy in the Crimea in the eyes of Europe.

My opinion is this:
in military and financial support

England and France to refuse.

And to the Republicans in the New World.
tell them we'll support them.

Only with military neutrality.

What are you standing there for? Sit down.

- "By order of higher
commanders

I command the captain of the Life Guards
Izmailovsky Regiment

Alexander Dmitrievich Lansky

to be promoted to the rank of colonel
of the same regiment

with a salary of 100,000 rubles

and report to the palace immediately,
to take the position of adjutant of the wing

of Empress Catherine the Great
Catherine the Great."

You don't have a lot of stuff,
Mr. Colonel.

- Lieutenant, how will you be sarcastic,
when you realize that the place

of Prince Potemkin's adjutant.
vacated?

- It is with great pleasure that I am ready to serve
to the Most Serene Prince.

- Settle in. Please.

- He's a poor boy -
he's only got one chest.

And the skinny one! My God, it hurts my eyes.

- It's all right, Mother will dress him up,
and make him look good.

Korsakov was carrying seven chests.

- What are you doing in the windows?

- Your Majesty,
Alexander Dmitrievich Lansky

they're going to formally introduce themselves.

- Mother, she's so sweet.
He's a real sweetheart.

- Marya Savvishna,
show Colonel Rogerson,

let him check his health
internal and external.

- Fine, fine.

Skin's clear, fluids are clear,
articulations are mobile.

Health is age appropriate.

You can get dressed.

Letter: "The race of favorites is over.

The new chosen one was
a young adjutant of Prince Potemkin.

I hope to meet him soon,

because after my successful
in the small court

I finally received an invitation
to the Imperial Orchestra.

Sire, I hasten to inform you
that Pavel Petrovich has been elected

Master of the Masonic Lodge."

They speak German:
- My dear Fritz, I am very pleased,

that you've come.
It's a true gift of fate.

We in Russia, of course, live
in almost total isolation,

but even so.
I have something to say,

and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

- Get up! On your shoulder! Attention!

- Yes, dear cousin,
your army is still small.

- So the Crown Prince's allowance
is a bit meager.

But that's okay, I'm going to make
a real army in Russia,

no matter what it costs me.
In my image.

Line up!

Attention! Circle up!

Forward march!

- Bravo!

Soon you will be on the throne.
This is your destiny, brother.

All Prussia is with you.

You became a Master
of the St. Petersburg Masonic Lodge.

then you'll be accepted into society,

which includes almost all
European monarchs,

and Catherine will no longer be able
to push you around, she won't dare.

- Round and round!

- My dear Sophie,
I'm so happy to come to Russia!

I love this country so much!
I've loved it ever since,

how you learned Russian as a bride.

- Honey, please,
don't call me by my pet name,

my husband won't like it.
and even less so his court.

I'm Maria Feodorovna now.
Maria, if you want.

- Maria Fyodorovna.

- I'm so glad you and Fritz are here.
You know how much I love you both.

I think
Fritz has become more relaxed.

Were you able to influence
on his violent temper, dear?

- Yeah, you could say that. I guess.

Your brother's not home much,
and I'm alone a lot.

- What are you, my darling? What's the matter with you?

- No, no, it's nothing, my dear,
it's all right.

I hope that during this trip.
Fritz will be more attentive to me

and my life will be much more pleasant.

- Your Majesty, Colonel Lansky.

- Ask.

Alexander Dmitrievich,
why are you standing like in the barracks?

Have a seat.

How are you settling in at the palace?
Is everything comfortable?

- Thank you, Your Majesty,
it's more than convenient.

In fact, I must confess, I've never lived
in such luxury.

It's unusual to even sleep.

I just can't seem to get
my business at the palace.

- A case? A case is something you have to be ready for.

Learn the basics, the alphabetical truths.

I'm writing alphabet books for my grandchildren.

- By your own hand?
- Yes.

They should be future emperors, -
and who should know but me,

what they've needed since they were kids.

- I don't know, Madam, if I will ever be worthy of you.
ever be worthy of you.

- Alexander Dmitrievich, women
like confident men.

Don't give up without a fight.

- I'll make it up to you.
- What a beauty!

Really, you should write your own alphabet book.
on how to love and nurture.

- So, I guess that kind of knowledge
it's better to practice it.

- Your Imperial Majesty,
please excuse me:

State Secretary Alexander Andreyevich
is urged to accept immediately.

- Ask.

- Your Majesty.
Alexander Dmitrievich.

The Turkish ambassador is requesting an urgent
for an audience. He's already at the palace.

- What is this fire?
- The ambassador, on behalf of the Sultan.

brought a note of protest
against violations of paragraphs

of the Kyuchuk-Kainarji
of the peace treaty.

They believe that Russia
is interfering in Crimea

that he supports Shagin Girey and keeps
his troops near the peninsula.

- We have withdrawn those troops from the peninsula.

There are no Russian soldiers
Russian soldiers.

Where's the violation here?

- His Excellency,
Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary

of the Sublime Porte at the court
of Her Imperial Majesty,

minister of the court
His Imperial Majesty

Sultan Abdul Hamid I.
Mehmed Pasha Muhsinzadeh.

- Please convey to the Sultan
my sincere assurances,

that Russian troops
are standing near Crimea,

not on the territory of the peninsula.
We provide support in every possible way

to Khan Shagin-Girey exclusively
within the framework of the peace treaty.

Russia has not demonstrated any interference
in the affairs of Crimea.

On the contrary, to our great
to our great regret and discontent,

our brother Sultan Abdul Hamid.
sends soldiers to the Crimea

in support of the enemy Shagin Girey.

So who is upsetting the peace in Crimea?

Give the Sultan our words
as an answering note

and a call to maintain
previous agreements.

I won't keep you any longer. Thank you
Your Excellency.

- The Empress is tough.
The Sultan should be sharpening his saber.

- Yeah. If Potemkin had been there.
he would have talked some sense into me. But he's as silent as an owl.

Catherine:
- What's wrong with your faces, gentlemen?

Alexander Andreevich?
- Your Majesty, I presume,

Russia is not prepared at this time
to go to war with the Porte.

Allied relations with Austria
are not fixed...

- I know. But you can't
I can't let it go.

Georg tells them what to do,
but he won't give them any money,

so it's like dogs barking,
but they're afraid to bite.

Do you agree, Alexander Dmitrievich?

- I, Your Majesty, believe, Your Majesty,
it is necessary to answer.

- Let me ask you this.
who do I answer to?

- Everyone, I suppose.
Turks first.

- Colonel Lansky,
apparently had something to say,

that political questions
must be answered politically,

Your Majesty.

Catherine: "In connection with the aggravation
of the situation on the peninsula

I order General Suvorov

to go on a diplomatic
on a diplomatic mission to the Crimea.

Troops to remain in the Kuban."

- Alexander Andreevich,
I have a favor to ask of you.

- I am always at your complete
at your complete disposal.

- I mean Colonel Lansky. Take
take care of the young officer,

give him your understanding of things.
Teach him some sense.

- You wish to raise an advisor,
Your Majesty? - I do.

And if it doesn't work out with Lansky...
Well, that'll be one less bogeyman to worry about.

It's not like you have an opponent's hand to play.

- This is the land that England and France
are fighting each other in America.

We maintain a military neutrality
at the command of the Empress.

- There are different love languages.

Some in deed, some in word,
♪ who gets a hug ♪

it's easier to express your feelings.

How a man expresses his love
is exactly how he can receive it.

- What is your language, Your Majesty?
- I am no stranger to all languages.

Bezborodko: "The Crimea has recently been taken
under Her Majesty's protection.

"With our new neighbors.
We need to speak their language."

- "Hello, Your Majesty..."
(Speaks in Tatar.)

- What kind of
what kind of an execution this is!

It's been half an hour of torture.

- Really, there's no need
another camisole.

- England has more influence over the Turkish
the Sultan more than anyone else. Why?

It's farthest from Turkey:
There are no land disputes between them.

But with Austria, the Porte
with Austria.

Catherine: "A foolish woman
"takes a man's word for it,

the smart one sees a man's actions.

A smart man wouldn't argue
with a woman,

"and before he apologizes,
he'll ask for directions."

Bezborodko: "Remember:
Friedrich is cunning,

George is cunning. Louis is a pretender.

Shagin is cruel and vain.

Special Article -.
Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich:

worships the style
of his father Peter the Third.

His idol is King Frederick.

The Grand Duke is disobedient to his mother,
imagines himself a future emperor."

Catherine:
"It's nice for any woman to win.

"But when to her alone they dedicate
all the victories of the world, it is a hundredfold more pleasant."

- Do you understand?
- Everything is clear, your ladyship.

Except for one thing. Why am I doing all this?

- Speak up, scoundrel!
What do you know about Turks?

Where are they, how many are there, and what are they armed with?

(Shouting.)

- Tell me! How many of them
and what are they armed with?!

(Speaking Turkish.)

- He says their garrison
has already landed

and encamped in Bakhchisaray.
Led by my brother Devlet.

they're preparing to attack us. Since morning.
they've been waiting for the Turkish fleet to arrive.

With a large detachment of janissaries on board.

- It's no good. The Turks will land
in the bay, and Devlet will meet them there.

The odds will be stacked against us,
and your brother will win.

- Devlet is a coward!
Give me a hundred of your soldiers -

and I will smash him as soon as
he sticks his nose out of Bakhchisarai.

- Then the Turks will be at your back
behind you.

I remember when the plague
the plague was raging here,

we've been turning away all the foreign ships
Quarantine, that's all.

They obeyed like sweethearts.
- No plague, thank Allah.

- And we'll tell them what we have.
And send it to the Turks.

In the meantime, we'll knock Devlet out
from Bakhchisarai.

- And if they don't listen?

- I'm afraid my uncle and I's demarche to the Crimea
might take a little longer this time.

Suvorov is cutting down the Turks,
and they're coming out of every crevice.

So you, sister,
do your best.

Write more often. I hope you realize
that you are now carrying

it's all about the yard and, uh.
our little secret,

of which the Empress
must not.

- Let's hope
my uncle didn't share this secret with me.

too many faces.

- Goodbye, Alexandra. Don't mess around.

Well, let's go.

- "Third, ridicule,
willful arguments and contradictions.

Fourth, affection.
and gossip.

But excessive courtesy
is obnoxious in society.

Children should not interrupt anyone's
or rush to give their opinions,

speak too loudly
or affirmative,

but just not raising your voice."

Very wisely written.

Your grandmother wants you to become
a wise ruler, too.

And she loves you very much.
- And you?

- There's an inborn love, and then there's the kind of love
that manifests itself over time.

I dare hope that someday
I will be worthy of your grandmother's love.

- Do you love my grandmother?

- With all my heart.

I've never met a woman in my life
more majestic, more beautiful,

kinder and more pious than she.
To be honest, Your Highness,

I'd give all the riches in the world
just to see her every day.

- And the Prince is wrong,
that it's impossible to love me.

Perhaps a love that is sincere,
without profit.

Zakhar. Let's go get the prince.

- So his lordship left for the Crimea in the morning.
You gave permission.

There's a note on your desk from yesterday.
waiting.

- Why didn't you give me the note
Why didn't you give it to me? - Oh, uh.

- Follow him immediately.
Make sure he doesn't get too far away.

- Stepan Ivanovich, would you like to share
your thoughts on the new favorite?

- So no thoughts.

A simple officer.
Not interested in politics.

I'm doing my straight man thing.
Just like you wanted.

- That's right, that's right.

Only the maids of honor whisper
that Lansky's never spent a single night

did not spend any time in the Empress's chambers.

Is he doing a man's work?
That is the question.

(Footsteps approaching.)

- Good morning, gentlemen.

What a beautiful day!

Isn't that right?

- His Highness Pavel Petrovich
was elected Grand Master

of the Masonic Lodge, Your Majesty.

- Even that can't ruin
today.

- Your Imperial Majesty,
which means

the strengthening of European
support for Pavel Petrovich.

Any little thing can be used
used against you.

- You mean Princess Dashkova?

- There is every reason to believe
that the rumor about the letters was true.

- I remember,
Catherine always used to say

that love is a headache
and distracts you from your business.

And I see no impediment
to her return.

- Gentlemen, leave us.

Catherine: - Thank you, gentlemen.
We're done for the day.

- Yes, Your Majesty.

- That you're looking at me like a wolf,
Grigory Alexandrovich?

Probably didn't go far from the capital either.

- I'd go far away.
I'd still get it back.

- If it is a hardship
to attend the Empress' call,

I assure you:
I won't bother you again.

In Teshiny, you said
that it was impossible to love me.

- Love you?
- Yes.

I was about to believe
what you said.

Because it's true: everyone who's ever claimed
for my favor,

have achieved honors and money.

But you were wrong.

Alexander Dmitrievich loves me.
He loves me with tender and sincere love.

Without any conditions or reservations.

- Allow me...

You turned me halfway around
just to say that?

- Yeah. (chuckles)

You've been in ignorance
and erroneous judgment.

I wanted to open your eyes.

Admit you were wrong.

- You've been successful.

Now let me
open your eyes.

Lansky loves you,
because he can't help it.

He's sluggish, weak and gullible -
only a man like that can hold back

your cruelty, your fervor.

That's why I chose him for you.
- Prince, stop.

- Your love is destructive to everyone
to everyone it touches.

You don't care about Lansky,
and that's why he's still alive.

But once he's experienced your love.

begin the countdown to imminent doom.

Here we go. Now I'm waiting for you,
just like you waited for me before.

What do you say? Are you happy?

- Your Lordship,
I would not wish to discuss the subject

with anyone.
It's all about me.

- Let's say it's not just you.

Come on, you're right. We won't.

I've done something stupid, brother.

He got angry and said
to the Empress.

Now it's urgent to go to the Crimea:

Suvorov writes
of an imminent clash,

and I'm feeling a little bit sick to my stomach.

You take care of her. Spoil her.

For yourself and for me, too.

Maybe then he'll forgive you.

- Your Grace, so I am
I would die for her with all my heart.

- Don't do that.

I have plans for you.
still alive.

I have to ask you
for a very important favor.

- I'll do my best.

Suvorov: "Your Majesty,
I hasten to report that Devlet-Girey

with the help of the Turkish garrison
attacked Shagin-Girey.

With the support of our squad.
Shagin-Girey has won a victory

and occupied Bakhchisarai.

By decree of Prince Potemkin.

our garrison is scattered
along the coast

and has been successful
protection of the maritime border."

- All this is yours, Khan.
You are now the ruler of Crimea.

- Strengthen his grace in scolding,

the power of his enemies
let him be overthrown,

crush their insolence and protect them.

(Knocking on door.)

- Mother, Colonel Bauer
has just arrived.

He asked me to hold it in my hand, but I wouldn't let him.

Letter: "Crimea is yours, Empress!
From now and forever! Potemkin."

- Grigory hurried away. Though offended,
but still serves Russia.

Do you hear?
- I hear, my dear, and I see.

The brightest is always in your heart.

But what are you going to do with Colonel Lansky
what do you want to do with Colonel Lansky?

- What about him?
- He's got his eyes on you.

And you won't even let him in.
You choose, Mother.

to keep one or the other.

- Your Majesty.

- I'll love you forever.

You alone.
