- Well, Alexander Dmitrievich,
tell me,

where you go, who you give money to.

Just choose your words carefully:
I'd like to hear your side of the story.

- A child lives in these rooms.

- A baby? What baby?

- My daughter.

- Daughter?

Where's her mother?

- Mother's dead.

- Dead?
- By childbirth.

Now I'm the only one she has left.
- Sashenka.

Sashenka, I was thinking God knows what!

Why didn't you say anything?
- Rolling.

My love, I am so low before you.

I'll never be a little bit
worthy of your wisdom,

your beauty, your greatness.

I can give you
my loyal heart:

there's never been anyone in it
and there never will be, except for you.

You hear that?

- Don't worry, Sasha,
we'll take care of your daughter.

we'll take her to Tsarskoye Selo
along with her nurse.

- Thank you, Mother.

- I was sent by the Kalga
to spy on the prince.

- And why should I believe you?
- My father, Ahmed Khan, believed that,

that Crimea will find freedom
only in friendship with Russia.

My father was executed by Shagin.

- So you want revenge?

- My family has lived on this earth
for hundreds of years

nothing is more important to us
than this land and this sky.

And people like Shagin
are not worthy to lead my people,

but his brothers are even worse.
- I don't get it.

Kalga is Shagin's counselor.

Why would he spy
for the Most Serene Prince?

- He's trying to break up the prince
and you and Shagin.

Kalga dreams of the Turks returning,
and he is with them.

If I'm returned, the Calga will realize
that his scheme has failed,

and give me to Zafar.

Then I can't live.
- Well, "no life."

Your words
I need to ponder.

The morning is wiser.
In the meantime, get some rest.

And the staff captain will be your guard.

What do you think, Alexander Nikolayevich?
Is it worth believing?

Shall I report to the prince?
- Only God can be trusted -

you have to listen to the man.

Except... If what
what the princess said is true,

it's not good, Alexander Vasilyevich.
We're going to need proof.

- All checked out,
Barin:

at Tsarskoye Selo,
rest in peace.

The babysitter's happy,
that I don't have to do laundry:

there's a whole service here.
She's lazy, I'll tell you that.

- Come on.
Women's work must be hard, too.

Here's one for your trouble.
- Thank you.

- Go on.

- Barin, the maid of honor is here to see you.
Alexandra Vasilyevna. Shall I let her in?

- Go ahead.
- Yes, sir.

- Alexander Dmitrievich, please
please forgive me for such a late visit.

But my patience,
is like a child's.

That's all anyone
is all they talk about at the palace.

The good news is you're a father.

So I took the liberty
of buying your daughter a gift.

Well, now I'm in a hurry to share
this happy news with my uncle.

I'm sure he'll be very, very happy.

- Sasha, I'm disgusted with myself.

- Sashenka writes:
General Lansky is a bit overzealous -

by his behavior he revealed
the secret of the child before the Empress.

But apparently, in an effort to keep you safe,
Uncle,

General Lansky
called Lisa his daughter.

- Ah, Lansky!

This deception will now
he'll never be able to rest:

for him, it was always
lies were worse than hard labor.

(Speaking German.)

- The prince is removed from the small court.

Paul can't be left alone.

- What about Luca Giatti,
our court music teacher?

- Jatti got
too close to Catherine.

We can't jeopardize
with this position.

However, I will have
an assignment for him.

Princess Dashkova
Princess Dashkova returned to St. Petersburg.

Interesting person.

- Mother, this has just been delivered
with a messenger.

Her Majesty invites us
us to dinner tonight.

- Gather at once:
the Empress does not tolerate delay.

- Please.

- But! Go!

- They don't pay for the second month - arbitrariness!

We have to write to the governor.
You know, the governor himself!

- Here you go, beautiful, for your labors.

And this is for keeping quiet.

- God...

I missed you.

- How interesting, Princess.

- Your Imperial Majesty,
my son and I are both willing to serve you

and Russia with all my heart.

- Katrine! Come on, let's hug it out.

Time has no power over you.

Your son is the only way to tell
your age.

Young man,
I knew you when you were a baby.

I'd like to introduce: Adjutant General
Alexander Dmitrievich Lansky.

A lover of the sciences and the arts.

I was eager to meet you,
when I did,

that you were friends with Diderot,

and Voltaire commented
about your outlook in his letters.

- It's very nice to meet you.

- Alexander Dmitrievich,
show Monsieur Paul the palace,

while Catherine and I reminisce about our youth.

- With pleasure, Mother.

- Uh, okay. How are--how are your impressions
of Russia?

- Katish, the changes are real--
and they're very helpful.

Your provincial reform
centralized power.

And the fact that every able-bodied person

can set up a manufactory
to organize, -

is very useful
to the whole of industrial craftsmanship.

- That's why I'm trying.

What flaws do you see?

Go ahead, go ahead.
You can see it from afar.

- There's a lot of scientific discoveries
a lot of scientific discoveries are being made.

In algebra, chemistry, astronomy.

And in Russia, it's like
doesn't care about science,

and yet it's science that helps
to make life better for the common people.

Here's Katish, for example,
the British Herschel

collected every observation of the sun
for 200 years and found out

that the more sunspots,
the cheaper the wheat.

- That can't be right.
- That's right, Katish.

The more sunspots there are on the Sun,
the more solar activity,

the more it rains.
the higher the wheat harvest.

It's just science, Katish.

- Catherine, I have an idea.

And if I put you in charge

to the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences,
what do you think?

- Have mercy! It's not my fault!

They made me translate it that way!

- What are you punishing him for? I have
many enemies, all of them traitors.

Some served my brothers,
others received gifts from the Sultan.

What's his fault?

- Princess Yulduz noticed the inaccuracies
in the translation.

We pressed the interpreter,
and he immediately confessed,

that Kalga, your counselor,
bribed him,

thereby forcing you to mistranslate
to translate the demands of your nobles.

- Twenty lashes!
- ...as if they were asking the Empress

to give power in the Crimea to Devlet-Girey.

And thank goodness I had time
to meet the delegates before the prince.

It could have been a most unpleasant embarrassment--
inciting a riot.

His Lordship might have thought you
involved in your advisor's plans.

- How dare you!
- Honorable Khan,

I believe you.

But it doesn't change the fact
that you're in danger.

- I'm going to Bakhchisarai immediately.

The Most Serene Prince will have the head
of the despicable traitor Kalga.

And the Empress will be assured
of my utmost loyalty!

- Eighteen,
nineteen, twenty.

- He can't.
- It's too bad if he does.

(Speaking ethnic language.)
- I've got a snake on my chest!

Insidious, poisonous snake!

Kalga, even half of what
of what the Russians said is true,

you have to die now!

Jackal.

Kalga, I don't forgive betrayal.
Take him away!

- A madman. You're a madman, Shagin-Girei!

The Sultan is our leader
and spiritual leader.

The Russians will never be able
to replace him in the Crimea!

And you and your Russian friend
will wash your blood away!

- The prince informs us
of the discontent of the Crimean nobility

under Khan Shagin
and the petition they filed.

Also about the palace intrigue that the khan's
the Khan's Kalga is conducting in favor of the Sultan.

"The Turks are undoubtedly preparing for war,

Kalga, without the support of the Turks.
would not have plotted against Khan,

who has Russia behind him,
and is no doubt connected to them."

It doesn't get easier by the hour.

- While Shagin is busy
sharing power with his brothers,

he's got a Turkish interest under his nose.

I doubt the Counselor
under the Khan's nose doing such a thing,

and Shagin doesn't give a rat's ass.
- There are different kinds of counselors.

- What do you think,
Alexander Dmitrievich?

Siege the Turks? Chop off the head of the Kalga?

- If you'll excuse me, gentlemen,

but Russian affairs now require
our full participation,

so I think we should

to adhere to the terms
of the peace treaty.

We must not interfere now
in the internal affairs of Crimea.

- So what do we do?

Continue to tolerate the Turks' raids
on our wagons?

Or wait for the Turks to strike
to stab us in the back?

Diplomacy should not be
a sign of weakness,

Alexander Dmitrievich.

- I think the general
is being guided by a paragraph of the treaty,

by ourselves and drafted under circumstances
relevant to the circumstances.

But today, I think the Turks need
to pull back. They understand power.

- But Russia today
is not ready for war!

Your Majesty, on your orders.
Mr. Bulgakov is now in Istanbul.

is making every effort
to make sure there's no war,

and we're the ones who start it?
Where is our wisdom?

- You accuse us of stupidity,
Alexander Dmitrievich?

Let's not argue, gentlemen.

Turkey is testing our patience
by constantly violating the terms of the treaty.

It doesn't have to be that way.

- Alexander Dmitrievich,
it's good to have an opinion,

but to argue with the sovereign...

- Send me a copy of the report.
- Yes, sir.

(Music playing.)

- A dumb child. Lisa, let me in.

And I'm just like you, a child:

I don't see the obvious.

Do you think if it wasn't for you,
things would be different?

- Dad.
- Uh, no.

Here. Hold the bunny.
Shall we ride the horse?

- General, what is the name
this beautiful child?

- Princess, it's so good to see you.
This is, uh.

This is Lisa.
- Elizabeth. Wow!

She doesn't look much like you.
- She looks a lot like her mother.

- Yes, of course.
General, it has come to my attention

that you were recently adjutant
of Prince Potemkin?

Congratulations, you've made
a dizzying career!

- Thank you. I have indeed
I have much to be grateful for

and always indebted to him.
- Hmm.

To be indebted to someone at court,
except the Empress,

not very discreet.
- Why?

- Because you may be required

to pay off a debt with something
difficult to accomplish.

And you, as a man of honor,
cannot refuse.

But to determine
where the debt ends,

and where state secrets
secrecy is very difficult.

I beg your pardon,
I hasten to present to the Empress

his plan for the development of the Academy of Sciences.

- The first thing I would like to do is to prohibit
Mr. Academicians

to make your research public
until then,

until the Academy has realized
for its own benefit and glory for Russia.

- Well done, Warden.
- That's how the Academy covers their expenses.

It's a debt worth paying.

Katish, let me ask you something.

I see a shadow on your face,
and it's not really about me.

- Not you.

My Sashenka started arguing with me.

- Well, that's good.
You always said, uh.

- But you can't argue
to argue with.

We're talking about Crimea.

The Turks are bullying us,
They're slaughtering our men,

and he tells me to leave them
so I don't start a war.

- That's it.
I guess we'll have to cut the Turks down.

They're afraid of war themselves,
but they shit small.

- You realize that, too,
and all you teach him is useless.

- Katisha, pardon the fretfulness.

You've always liked smart men,

and Prince Potemkin
is proof of that.

I don't know why that boy
won your heart?

Just your man's article?

- It's none of your business, Catherine.

I'm both approaching and letting go.

There are reasons for that,

and you don't need to know about them.

(Music playing.)

- Katerina Romanovna,
let me help you.

Ekaterina Romanovna, you're a woman
a businesswoman, so let's get right to it.

I know of your service to the Empress,
so to speak, in the early days of her reign.

You kept her correspondence.
- It was a long time ago.

- I would like you to give me
the letters of the Empress in your possession.

- What makes you think I keep them?

- Katerina Romanovna,
let's not play hide and seek.

Of course you keep them.

Meanwhile, as letters
of national importance

must be kept by the Empress.

- I did keep
some notes,

diaries from that time, perhaps letters,

but I'm not sure if there are
documents of national importance.

- So, uh, I guess that means
we need to go through your ladies' archive,

it'll all become clear. Won't it?

I'm looking forward to it.

(Bell rings.)

- Your Highness, allow me
to present you with these ancient manuscripts.

They blithely outline those goals,

that formed the basis for the creation
of secret societies,

and the ways in which their realization
can be approached step by step.

- Thank you, Nikolai Ivanovich.

Please.

Enlightenment is the only thing
that I have left

sitting in four walls.

- Your Highness,
it is imperative that you complete your education

in the manner
of royalty:

to absorb the enlightened spirit of Europe
literally by the skin.

- I wish I could go abroad.
Mother won't let me go anywhere.

- With your permission,

I will put in a good word
my word.

I have a certain advantage
over her

in matters of art and education.
She understands this very well.

Even Szeszkowski
fails in her defense

of my publishing
and writing.

- Would your interference not incur
her wrath upon us all.

I heard,
the gossipy Dashkova is back,

and it is rumored that the Empress
was once again under her influence.

- Believe me, Your Highness,
we'll find a way to deal with the Princess.

In either case,
whether the trip is denied, whether it's approved.

that's good for you.
- How can that be?

- The Empress won't let you go to Europe,

we're gonna spread the word,

that she made a legitimate emperor
a prisoner.

And will let...

...so you can find allies among the European
among the monarchs of Europe,

who will support us and you

in his claim to the Russian throne.

- Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich
several times expressed his desire

to go abroad, but I'm sure,
that his mother would never let him go.

Novikov supports him in everything,

intends to persuade the Empress,
and in the event.

- Refusal?
- ...refusal to use it

for the purpose of vilifying the Russian autocrat
in the eyes of Europe.

- Yes, Princess Zelmira
is intelligent and observant.

I didn't expect that from her.

- If I may offer an opinion
on the grand tour.

I'm afraid a trip like this is going to set us up

a lot of unforeseen
diplomatic complications,

especially bearing in mind
of His Highness's temper

and intemperance in speech.

- Alexander Andreevich,
in Europe of the Grand Duke

they think of me as a prisoner,
and I'm the jailer.

Of course, he himself
is indoctrinating this myth in every possible way,

and our enemies are spreading it,

as evidenced by Zelmira's words.

But do you really want
to reinforce that lie?

- Your Majesty,

all the royal courts
will want to host receptions.

- Yes, I realize that all the European
courts have their sights set on the Cesarevitch.

But we know him from the inside,

and they only saw him from the outside.

Let's see what he's worth.

What else?

- It has come to light
who helped his lordship

to Prince Grigory Alexandrovich to find out
about the Kalga's connection with the Sultan's emissaries.

A certain Tatar princess
whom his lordship

delivered as a gift.
- Concubine?

- As far as I know,
her father is Khan,

and her grandmother was Russian,

hence the knowledge of the Russian language,
customs.

- But, as I recall, my lordship never had
had no problem

to establish trust,
especially with smart women.

- Princess, I've been waiting for you.

I wanted to personally thank you
for your involvement in the Kalga case.

I know you were in danger,
but you were brave.

Thanks to you, we caught the traitor
we caught the traitor.

Russia will not forget this.

- I didn't do it for you,
Potemkin Khan,

and not for Russia.

I will always choose the best
for my homeland

and his tribesmen.

And right now, the best thing to do
is to fight back against the insolent Turks.

But without the help of a strong Russia.
we can't do it -

all the smart people in Crimea realize that.

- Honest words, Princess.

I accept your choice and respect it.

Not only that, but I intend to ask you
to become my confidant in the Crimea.

You know your people very well,
their aspirations,

you are well educated
and of noble birth.

I'm sure with your advice.
we'll have a much easier time

to make the right decisions,
without causing irritation

from local nobles and peasants.

- Thank you, Potemkin Khan.

I accept your offer.

- Congratulations on your new position,
princess.

I'm very happy for you.
- Thank you.

But any position
is a responsibility.

And to be a confidant
of the Empress's viceroy, even more so.

- You'll do fine, I'm sure.

You're a smart, beautiful woman.

- Tell me, Mr. Captain,

is it true what they say that Potemkin Khan.
though unmarried, is not free?

They say he's the husband
of the Russian empress.

- How should I know?
- Are you jealous, Captain?

No need: I'm more interested
in Catherine herself.

Is she pretty?
- Yes, of course she is.

But her beauty is more in her wisdom
in wisdom, in kindness.

In all her affairs
she has an exact measure:

in both rigor and encouragement.

- I guess,
she's a truly great woman,

since she's been able to bring together
so many worthy people

and become an enemy to many others.

- In our conversation last night,
it seems to me,

have reached a consensus on the
the need for enlightenment.

I'd like to expand on that thought
with a very simple example.

You wouldn't deny
that the level of a nation's horizons

should start with the rulers?

If you, the current ruler,
you've had enough of the world,

and for many, an example
can serve as an example,

then the heir to the throne
would certainly have to

to look deeper into the matter.

Perhaps it would be wise
that Their Highnesses

the Grand Duke and his princess to make a tour
a tour of the European powers.

- And what makes you think
that I don't approve of this trip?

- Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.

Have you signed an executive order
to allocate funds to the small yard

for a trip to Europe?

- You didn't believe me?

What to speak of my own son?

He'll think you're crazy
if you tell him,

that I not only approve
of this trip,

but I'm still waiting for him in person
to the palace for

to work out the details.

- How wise that is, Your Majesty!

But what to do: who is going to tell this
the amazing news to Pavel Petrovich?

- Sashenka, my son!

- Your Highness, Daddy,
allow me to introduce

my friend Alexander Lansky.
He's teaching me how to ride.

- It's a pleasure to meet you,
Your Imperial Highness.

I am pleased to say
that Alexander is making great strides

in horseback riding and soon
promises to be an excellent rider.

Your Highness,
I have been instructed to give you

the highest invitation to the palace
to discuss the details

a big trip abroad
Your Highness.

- Is the wind of change upon us?

- General, thank you
for this good news.

- Your Highness, your mother

I had no objection whatsoever
to your trip.

On the contrary, she was eager
embraced the idea.

I'm just surprised
I didn't hear about her from you.

- Do you think
I should make a tour plan?

- It's a must! It's imperative
prepare a broad list.

Include all the most developed
and enlightened cities and countries.

I know you're
a great admirer of Prussia.

I can't say I share
your admiration, but, uh.

- Do you think Mother will let me?

- She has the kindest heart
I know, Your Highness.

And I would also advise you
to ask the sovereign's permission

to bring the kids along,
because they'd be so excited.

And in return, I promise
that I will seek my mother's approval.

- Thank you, General. You, uh.

You're a surprisingly nice person,

compared to the previous
Mother's friends.

- Let's go.

- Your Lordship,
if you'd take your mind off it and eat a little.

- Alexander Vasilyevich,
please, I'm not hungry.

While my uncle's out exploring the neighborhood,
I'd like to sketch out a draft of the dispatches.

The situation is alarming.

- Disturbing. Infighting--
it always spills more blood.

Shagin, though a European
education,

and he doesn't get the main point.

- Hmm, even curious,
Alexander Vasilyevich, what exactly.

- I apologize, Your Lordship,
it's an urgent matter.

In the vicinity of the stake
Khan Shagin-Girey was detained.

- What? What do you mean, "detained"? Where is he?
- Here.

- Drive!

What right did you have to lead the rightful Khan
to lead him under arms?!

Where's his saber?!

- I beg your pardon, Gracious Khan.
What's wrong?

- The traitorous Kalga has escaped.

Back with the rioters

and kicked me out of Bakhchisarai.

My unit was defeated. I was saved by a miracle.

- Okay, I get it.

Kalga couldn't have gotten far.
- That's true.

I'll have to consult with my lordship
about the Crimea:

what he thinks about it.

- It's Shagin's own fault:

leaning against Russia,
while he looked in the direction of the Sultan.

I wanted to outsmart everyone.

- Sounds to me like he should.

- Princess, Shagin's been dumped.

Do you think we should help him
to help him get back on the throne?

- No one will listen to Shagin anymore.

He turned the entire Tatar nobility
the entire Tatar nobility against him,

instead of leaning on it.

You put it in, there'll be protests.

There will be war.

- Well, it turns out
that with every passing minute.

the situation is getting worse,
and Crimea needs a new ruler.

Who do you think they'll believe?

- All worthy Chinggisids
Shagin killed:

someone he thought was a rival.
someone he was retaliating against.

There are those left
who want to be under the Sultan,

and those who are unhappy with either Turkish,
or Russian influence.

- What is there to think about?
Our mother must be the new Khan,

the sovereign.

- Bravo, Your Imperial Highness
Highness, bravo!

Courtiers: Divine!
Bravo! Magnificent!

- I give these flowers to the maestro.
Don't be shy, my angel!

- An addendum to the grand tour plan
of your mother's grand tour plan.

- Yes, take my help,
my son!

- Count and Countess du Nord?
- The Count and Countess du Nord.

These will be your names
as you travel.

Yeah, and the voyage won't be
official status.

- So, whatever I say
in the European courts

will be perceived as chatter?
- Well, then try

less talking.

Yeah, and I changed the itinerary a little bit:
eliminating Prussia.

It's just that she and I have
an adversarial relationship.

- That's how you decide.

Why did you send him to me
to taunt me?

Your favorite assured me himself -
personally! -

that I need to visit
all the European countries.

He appealed to your
good heart,

but apparently he didn't know
that you didn't have it

and that we are not free men here,
but your personal serfs!

- Did you say everything?

- No, I don't.

You make decisions like that to humiliate yourself,
not me.

- Your Majesty, I, uh.

- You have encouraged His Highness
have encouraged His Highness,

so before you say anything,
think.

- But!

- Your Lordship...

I'm sorry you weren't there
at the concert tonight.

I would like to hear from your lips
an assessment of my humble endeavors.

- Do we know each other?

- Pardon my impertinence...

Luca Giatti, court musician,

Cesarevitch Alexander's teacher.

- It's nice to meet you.

- Mr. Stroganoff
was kind enough to give me shelter.

He told me that you recently
moved into this house.

I am honored to live next to such
an educated and beautiful woman.

- Mr. Jatti,
you're wasting your charms.

I have other goals and objectives
in the near future.

But I'm sure you'll find a worthy
for your romantic attacks.

- Your Lordship...

He writes:
"Dear Prince! Grisha!

I've ruled out today
from being a happy day,

for many things were unpleasant.

After much thought,
I come to a single right thought:

my love is dangerous and pernicious,
that it is not love,

but eternal torment.

Maybe you're right
and I don't know how to love at all.

Or maybe I'm looking for someone
and I can't find you,

my soul."

- Careful there!

- What could have delayed
the empress?

- Don't worry, Your Highness!

I'm sure the Empress and
and the Cesarevitch are on their way.

- Your Highness.
- You? Where is the Empress?

Where are the children?
- I'm so sorry,

but Alexander had been running a fever since the evening.
The medic decided

that sending a child on a trip
is dangerous.

Bed rest is necessary,

and Konstantin, too.
could have caught a cold.

Risking the Tsarevich's health
is unnecessary.

Her Majesty rightly believes
that you will feel

freer in this difficult
traveling without the kids.

Monarchs can't afford
make plans

depending on how
how their children are feeling.

- I very much hope
that these are the words of the Empress.

And it is not for you, Mr. Lansky,
to argue about the rights of monarchs.

- Here's a tailwind for the road
from our dearest mother.

- And if it's true?

- I don't believe a word
of that rogue general!

Let's go!

- But!

- Mother, there you are! Allow me
introduce my new comrade:

son of Admiral Mordvinov
Nikolai Semyonovich.

- Sashenka, how is your uncle?
Have you heard from him?

- Everything was fine.
Why do you remember?

- I saw General Lansky the other day
walking with my daughter in the park--

and the girl's features reminded me so much
reminded me of my lordship,

the same face.

- Your Lordship,
and you can find dirt in any cleanliness.

Maybe, uh,
you should go into science,

than sticking your nose into other people's families?
- Chill out, Sashenka.

- The princess said nothing of the sort.

Leave us.
