(Music playing.)

- From the Crimea from Prince Potemkin.

- I'll be sure to pass it on.
- Here you go, brother.

But! Go, go, go!

- Your Majesty! A particularly urgent
a report from Prince Potemkin.

- The Shagin brothers
did rebel in the Crimea after all.

Shagin is asking
for intercession and a meeting.

I'm sorry, my soul, I have to write back.

Convene the Small Council,
Alexander Vasilyevich. - Yes, sir!

- Stop! Stop!

- Your Ladyship, a dispatch
from Her Imperial Majesty.

- Why the urgency?
- You're here immediately,

with all haste, personally in his hands.
- Karl Fedorovich,

wash up, get some rest.
Mr. Adjutant, keep watch.

The Khan's petition has been heard,
the Empress is concerned

and asks to escort Shagin-Giray
to St. Petersburg.

- "...For a speedy and urgent
to discuss the situation,

the situation in Crimea."
Is it bad?

- To drop everything and rush to St. Petersburg at the first call.
and rush to St. Petersburg?

I should be used to it by now.

Princess, you're coming with us.
- Me? Why?

- Familiarize yourself.

- You're hilarious,
Nikolai Semyonovich!

- Ivan Perfilievich must have forgotten his age.
his age -

started doing pirouettes in front of the mirror.

(Catherine laughs.)
So and moved his leg.

They say that after he fell.
the crystal chandelier fell off its hook,

and the girl was stuttering in fear.

- And here I was thinking: why did he
forget the way to the palace?

Poor, poor Ivan Perfilievich!

Suffering for the love of beauty.

- Why do you take Nikolenka
take him for walks?

I mean, he's telling stupid vulgarities.

- Paul, you're too young
and inexperienced.

And grown women
sometimes find vulgarity cute.

(Laughs.)

- You're too frivolous
in your actions.

Stop playing the clown.

Jesters get boring fast.

- Princess, please, the Empress has been
more than satisfied with me

and laughed quite contagiously.
- Don't forget yourself, Nikolai Semyonovich.

I brought you in, I'll take you out.

Remember why I brought you in.

- I remember: to charm and disappoint.

To show the true face
of the male gender.

- Exactly!
Don't get burned out on the first step.

The second one, apparently,
you won't have a problem with the second one.

(Speaking German.)
- His Highness is extremely surprised,

that the Emperor does not meet
at the border.

- I understand. But I'm asking you
not to make things difficult for us.

(Speaking Russian.)
- Of course.

Joseph is a personal friend of my mother's.
What else would you expect?

- Pavel Petrovich,
he's the one who's supposed to meet you

with all the etiquette of the capital city,
not the outskirts of the state.

- Thank you, sir,
for the clarification,

because I myself do not understand
the motives behind the emperor's behavior.

I'm sure Mother
has already written him a letter,

where I asked you not to talk
in front of me.

She wants to hide my journey
from all European society.

- I think she was under the assumption
that you were traveling incognito.

Let's move on.
- I'm not a boy anymore,

to follow Mother's
permissions and prohibitions.

That's it, the trip's over.

(Speaking German.)
- It's 12 miles to the nearest station.

There are also guest rooms there,
if you need a vacation.

(Speaking Russian.)

- Pavel Petrovich
demands that the motorcade be turned around.

- It's a scandal. The heir to the throne
has canceled his visit.

- Your Highness,
your husband and I

we've known each other a long time.

Let me have a word
to Pavel Petrovich.

- I couldn't tell you before...

Mr. Novikov gave me a letter,

that I'm supposed to give to you
is already in Vienna, but, uh.

- King Frederick writes,
that no matter what,

will meet with me, but when and where,
she can't tell me yet.

- You see. You're traveling
incognito, but not secretly.

Frederick the Great himself wants to personally
to give you his fatherly instructions.

I'm so happy for you!

- My heartfelt friend,
you have become for me

the only person
to whom I can open my soul.

- Mademoiselle,
you must dance the allemande--

an allemande, not a tour de force.
I've shown you everything.

- I was without a partner.

Please do not refuse,
Your Imperial Majesty.

- Kato, Your Majesty,
I see no need

in your participation.

Monsieur, you don't know
the rules of decorum.

By your request.
you insult the Empress.

- According to prom etiquette,
to refuse to participate in the dance

it's bad manners.
If you accepted an invitation to the ball,

dance.

- Not cold, Princess? Come to the fire.
- No, I'm warm. Don't worry.

- Shagin Khan...

You haven't said a word since we left the stake,
since we left the stakes.

You escaped mortal danger -

I guess that's a reason
to breathe easy.

- I'm leaving with a pain in my heart,
leaving behind

a lit fuse and a barrel of gunpowder,
and for a long time.

That's no reason to exercise
in eloquence.

- That's why you asked
the Empress for a meeting:

to negotiate support,
put that fuse out.

- I have high hopes for it myself,

but in the meantime.
anything can happen.

- I'm sorry,
but everything important has already happened.

during your reign.

And now we have to find a way out
out of this situation.

- You're smiling, Alexander. Why?

- We're going home, Your Lordship.

Put my hand on my heart.
I miss my hometown.

Sometimes when I think
I'm walking down familiar streets,

the smile never leaves my face.
- What's St. Petersburg like?

Is it bigger than Bakhchisarai?

- More, a lot more.

The houses are tall, the streets are paved with stone.

And the Neva River! Why a river,
but it has a human character.

Sometimes, in good weather.
the clouds don't reflect at all,

and in the rain, on the contrary,
he paints every cloud.

It rains a lot.

And in the summer, the sun
never leaves the sky,

caresses us even at night.
- Hmm.

You're talking about the city,
it's like you're describing the woman you love.

- Still, how hard
does the male mind

to prove my worthiness:

every decision I make
is being questioned.

- But they do, don't they?
I never doubted you.

- Well, I've been struggling with the fact

to create
a humanities department,

and our academics persist.

They say, "Please use
the academy for its intended purpose,

"and let writers and poets
writers and poets."

- Well, that's understandable: astronomers
and medics are more familiar with Latin.

Tell you what.
File a petition in my name,

to be on an equal footing
with the St. Petersburg Academy of Exact Sciences

to create the Russian one,
by uniting the humanities,

and its main business should be
the compilation of a Russian grammar

and the dictionary of the Russian language.

- That's a good point. You're a Great One for a reason.
- Ouch!

Flattery from you is even worse
than from Nikolai Mordvinov.

- What an ugly scene created
Alexander Dmitrievich

in dance class.
It's gonna be the talk of the town for a month.

- You think?
- Of course I do.

What are you smiling at, Katish?

- I may surprise you,
but I actually enjoyed that scene:

so much jealousy, so much love
in his gaze.

- You intend to persecute me,
Alexander Andreyevich?

- Not at all. But you seem to be
avoiding me, Ekaterina Romanovna.

- Not at all. What do you want?
- You know.

Have you looked through your archives?

My dear Ekaterina Romanovna,
why these tricks?

I can only assume
that you're planning

something against the Empress.

- You do realize
that I don't carry letters around with me?

They're at my estate in Troitskoye,
which is many versts from the capital.

- Well, it's the catcher and the hunted.

My horses are fed, fresh--

what could possibly prevent you and I
from going to your place in Troitskoye?

- Alexander Andreyevich,

why do you keep the princess
in the draft?

Important business is not done on the stairs.

- We're done.
Yeah, I'm freezing.

The Empress has given me an important commission,
which must be carried out immediately.

- Would you care to share what you talked about?
- I have no desire to.

- My prince, I must go.
- Stay with me a little longer.

I'm really excited
for the meeting tomorrow:

it should set the tone
for the entire European tour.

I don't know
how to deal with Joseph.

- Maria Feodorovna believes,

that you should be reaching out
with Catherine's direct supporters as well,

so that we can turn it around
for your own good.

- Maria Feodorovna doesn't realize
that it would make me look like

a complete nonentity
in the eyes of all Europe.

It would deprive me of my future.
- Your Imperial Majesty,

your goal is to show Europe
Russia's new path of development:

European.
The way of the enlightened state.

And you will do whatever it takes
to make it happen.

- Your words
are like a balm to me.

Katerina Ivanovna,
I can only tell that to you.

I haven't liked Maria Feodorovna for a long time
and I don't trust her:

she loves the kids too much
and would betray me for them.

And you make me feel like
like a real man.

Thanks to you, I believe
that I can become emperor.

- You will, my friend.

(Speaking German.)
- It's no fun playing together.

- You just don't like to lose.

- Your Majesty,
if it pleases you,

I can go
to fetch Maid of Honor Nelidova,

for her to join the game.

- I think
Katie shouldn't be disturbed.

Tomorrow is Emperor Joseph's reception,

he and the Grand Duke
are busy making preparations.

Yeah, and I'm tired already.

I can't get off the road.
I'm going to rest.

Good night to you, sweetheart.

(Disturbing music playing.)

(Door knocking.)

In Russian:
- My dear princess, you shouldn't be

to indulge in writing exercises
with such obviousness.

I'm not at all opposed to your affectionate
relationship with the great Russian court

and even to a certain extent.
I support them.

But if that fact is revealed
on this journey,

a lot of people are going to get hurt.

It's not good for anybody, you know?

Also... You shouldn't get your hopes up
get your hopes up

through the sovereign's intercession:

everything she does directly
benefits only her

and sometimes the Russian Empire.

With you,
if the occasion should arise,

no one's gonna count.

- Nikolai Semyonovich!

I don't wish you a good day,
because I'm not happy to see you,

and I have a favor to ask of you.
- You're forgetting yourself, General.

I am in the same title of nobility
as you are. With all due respect.

- Answer me
one simple question:

why you're coming to the palace,

when you don't even have an audience
you haven't even gotten an audience?

- I'm a nobleman, and I'm free to come and go
wherever I want.

Especially to places
where I'm welcomed and welcome.

But you're not welcome here anymore.

Where you've always been, I will be from now on.

- You are a low man.
I challenge you to a duel.

At midnight at an abandoned quarry.

- Alexander Andreyevich, what's up,
how are our "little friends"?

Is that what you call your agents?

- According to reports
by a maid of honor we know,

Their Highnesses' motorcade arrived in Vienna,

where, according to your plan,
Pavel Petrovich

will be honored with a meeting with Joseph.
- Uh-huh.

- In addition, Zelmira reports,

that between the Cesarevich
and Maid of Honor Nelidova

have developed an extremely
affectionate relationship.

- It took them a long time.

Maybe it'll take his mind off
from political intrigue.

- Unfortunately,
the opposite is happening:

in her latest report.
Zelmira reports,

that Friedrich never made an appointment
for Pavel Petrovich,

and he's very unhappy
by this circumstance.

He keeps mentioning his
his desire to meet Friedrich.

- It would be strange for Friedrich
to pass up such an opportunity.

If he sets a goal,
he's bound to achieve it.

Have them keep a closer eye on it.
- Absolutely.

It's worth noting
Zelmira's reports have become blurred.

Either she was under suspicion,
or she was offered

a higher intercession.

- So figure out
what "or" happened.

- One... two.

three... four...

five... six...

Sheshkovsky: - Stop it!
Stop the dishonor this very hour!

Are you going to violate
an imperial decree?

Or maybe you didn't know
that duels are forbidden?

By Emperor Peter the Great!
It's a foreign plantation,

adopted for the sole purpose
to do lawlessness.

You're all facing hanging.
Stop this nonsense!

Well!

Please leave immediately
go to the palace

and await Her Majesty's decision.

(Speaking German.)

- Countess, I'm very glad to see you.
So, tell me, how's it going up there?

- Gorgeous view!

(Continues conversation in German,
no translation.)

(Speaking Russian.)

- Your Highness,
I dare not advise,

but I'm afraid your displeasure
might be noticed

and misinterpreted.
- Well...

How much more wrong could it be?

(Speaking German.)

- You're not dizzy? It's just--
My dear friend!

Tell me, is it just me,
or are you worried about something?

- No, Your Majesty, I thank you
for such a warm welcome.

But at first, I thought it was strange
that you had an unwavering insistence

avoiding conversations
on political issues.

Then I remembered that I'm just an earl.
- Your Highness,

everyone here knows exactly
who you are.

In the practice of international travel.
foreign persons

pseudonyms are commonplace.
As for international affairs,

then on the necessary political topics

I'm used to speaking
directly to the governor.

In honor of our lovely guests
tonight at the Imperial Theater

there will be a performance of Mr. Shakespeare's
of Mr. Shakespeare's Hamlet.

- I'm forced to decline
your invitation. I apologize.

- Reject?
What's wrong with Shakespeare?

- I don't want two Hamlets
to have two Hamlets in the audience at the same time.

- I've been told
you're a master of aphorisms.

I'm very glad to have seen for myself
to see for myself today.

I propose a toast to Catherine the Great
and to our lovely guests,

the Count and Countess of the North.

- My dear, I beg you:
be sensible.

You shouldn't have shown the Emperor
his displeasure.

- What are you saying, Marie?
He humiliated me in public.

He made a fool of us!
- He just invited us to the theater

to watch Shakespeare.
- You don't understand anything, my friend.

"Hamlet!" He wanted me
to relive that agony,

wanted me to blush in public.
- I guess,

you've gotten a little overanxious:
you see conspiracies everywhere.

Joseph is not only a hospitable host,
he's also an ally of Russia.

- He's not an ally of Russia at all,
but an ally of my mother!

- She's bound to get a message
your careless phrase.

- Let them! It's better
than being a laughingstock.

(Knocking on door.)

- I asked you to leave me alone!
- It's me, Pavel Petrovich.

- Come on in.

- It's just been delivered
with a royal messenger.

Reading to himself in German:
- "My friend, my brother Paul!

I'm sorry that both of us are being
under the weight of circumstances

and right now we can't express
our feelings openly.

I ask you to be
with restraint and discretion,

because these qualities are so important
for a future monarch,

which you will definitely be.

I am bound by an obligation
to your mother,

but I hasten to assure you
of your full support and endorsement

of all the monarchical courts of Europe."

- All of Europe... All of enlightened
Europe is on my side.

And Mother.
- That's right.

But it's too soon.
Still. it's better to burn the letter.

- Calling?
- No, sir. It's late.

Why do you lie there like a basurman
in your clothes?

Let me help you wash up.
- Jesus, I got it, I got it! Go away!

- I've come to tell you
my indignation!

My uncle, a kind-hearted man,
confided in you!

He entrusted you with Lizanka, and you, you!...

Your behavior is foolish
and reckless! He would have killed you.

You can't even handle that
you can't even handle it.

- Jesus...

I can't take it anymore!

(Dramatic music plays.)

Lanskaya: "Your Excellency
Grigory Alexandrovich!

I hope you are in good health.
and will condescend to make a request

your humble servant.
I beg your gracious intercession

before the Empress to second me
me to the active army in the Crimea.

under General-Ansheff Suvorov.
with a reduction in rank,

"but with my fullest willingness
to serve the fatherland on the field of battle."

- Madam, I shouldn't have,
but an hour ago Lansky handed me

a private dispatch for His Lordship.
I am obliged to notify Your Majesty.

Only you can decide
of its delivery.

- Now I know your sincere
aspirations, Alexander Dmitrievich.

I can't figure out
what's going on with you.

- Rolling.
- I'm not letting you go.

But if you no longer care for me,
I won't torture and torment you either.

You want to go to Potemkin? Please wait.

Soon he'll be here
with Khan Shagin-Girey.

You can ask him in person.

(Dramatic music plays.)

- This is the last night's camping,
your ladyship.

We'll be in the capital tomorrow.
- How long we've been traveling!

And we go and we go and we go and we go -
and we're still not there.

Your country is too big, captain.

And this vast country
is run by a woman.

She must be omnipotent.

- Don't be afraid.
The Empress will like you.

She will want to arrange your fate,

will find you a good match,

and I, uh.

I beg your pardon.

Good night.

- Mr. Captain,

I will ask Her Majesty
permission to decide my own fate.

You said she had a good heart.

You don't suppose she'll say no?

- I'll be very happy for you.

Good night.

- The other day in Stroganoff's palace
there was a creative evening.

We read the Iliad in Gneditch's translation.
The author read it.

- Good translation. Maybe,
celebrate? What do you think?

- You can.

Among the guests at the party
were publisher Novikov,

court musician Luca Giatti,
as well as Princess Dashkova.

- Russia is a free country for the nobility.

The princess has the right to go wherever she pleases,
wherever she pleases.

- Your Majesty,
but in Stroganoff's palace.

there's a lot of these meetings
of the Freemasons!

And this lady is very much their type!

- Stepan Ivanovich,
you can't even imagine,

how you sometimes resemble Bezborodko.

- I know that when she was
her closeness to Your Majesty

Princess Dashkova
corresponded with your...

- Supporters.
- ...supporters.

Exactly. And he keeps these letters.

I have concerns
that, due to the proximity

to this Masonic fraternity,

these letters could very easily
to float out of Russia

and end up in the wrong hands.

- It seems to me that the secret
expedition is exactly the kind of thing

for the purpose
to prevent that from happening.

Stepan Ivanovich, everything is in your hands.

- Catherine Romanovna.
- General.

- Perhaps,
my question would be inappropriate,

but I really don't know
who to turn to for advice.

- Come to me for advice?
What kind of advice do you want to hear?

- You've known the Empress for a long time.

And you yourself. a woman.

I'm sorry, I, uh. I don't know
what I'm supposed to do.

How do I win back her love?

- Win back a woman's love?
There's nothing easier.

We need to make her jealous.

Now, for example, the Empress is taking her maid of honor
is out for a walk with her maids of honor.

Why don't we
seize the moment?

- These books, Katish, are obscene.
and lewd content, by golly.

Turns out that my associate.
Domashnev ordered them

for the Academy's library.

- I thought you said
it's just Voltaire and La Fontaine.

- Yes, but the engravings
with which these folios are furnished.

it's not just frivolity.
It's the worst kind of vulgarity

and shamelessness.

- Your Majesty.

- What's wrong with you? Where are you going?

- Why did you, Mr. General,
did you leave me the other day?

I'm waiting for an explanation.

Allow me.

Tart, bitter,
but so sweet.

What are you, Alexander Dmitrievich?
Are you ill?

Come on, I'll walk you out.

You should get some rest.
The guest wing is just around the corner.

- We're almost in Mempelgard.
I'll see my parents soon.

Here you will rest your soul,
my dear.

You will be treated here
with real attention.

- I can't believe
that Uncle Friedrich

didn't want to meet with me.

- Maybe it's for the best.

- Whoa!

- Your Highness,
an unforeseen hitch.

It's going to take time
to clear the way.

Would you like to take a walk, stretch your legs?

- Honey, come on. Why sit?

- Go if you want. I'll sleep.

- I'll see Maria Feodorovna off,
I'll see Maria Feodorovna off,

so no one can interrupt you.

In German: - Your Highness,
allow me to keep you company.

Your Highness, where are you?
