EPISODE 38 ROBESPIERRE’S TALISMAN

Go home! You aren’t allowed to be here.

Of course.

Killed and robbed.

Tell me how this human tragedy happened.

I went home after midnight.

The master was alive. He locked the door behind me.

The door wasn’t broken but opened with a key.

So he let them in.

Does anyone else have the key to the store?

I do.

ST. PETERSBURG

Well...

Please pass me some caviar.

Caviar?

- Here. Caviar. - Thanks.

Pour me some more tea, too.

Tea, too.

Tea.

And sugar, too.

Thank you.

Are we going to the exhibition today?

The exhibition.

Liza...

You know, I’m tired.

For some reason, I’m suddenly exhausted.

I probably won’t go. You can go alone if you want.

No. Going alone is improper.

Improper? Why?

It would be considered improper in Zatonsk.

Here in St. Petersburg you can go alone wherever you want.

Put on your best dress,

take a carriage and go.

I won’t mind

if you cultivate your artistic taste.

When will we finally get married?

- Married? - Married.

Liza...

We need to talk.

- Hello, doctor. - Hello, Yakov Platonovich.

What is it?

Mr. Siniavsky, the jeweler.

His store was robbed last night.

You must have heard about it.

No, I’ve been busy with something else.

Anna Viktorovna sent me.

She apologies for not being able to come today.

Yes. It’s a pity.

I’ll probably have to learn to manage without her.

I’m afraid so.

What happened with jeweler? How was he killed?

On the surface it looks like suicide.

He stabbed himself in the heart.

But don’t you think it strange?

Very strange.

Can you tell me the time of death?

Somewhere between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m.

That’s as accurate as I can get.

Thank you, doctor. I need to go now.

You are wonderful, Lizon.

You are in your first

and sweetest bloom.

Very soon you will meet someone you will be happy with.

And I will be there for you until that blesses day comes.

You can count on my money,

you can count on my loyalty and friendship.

You mean I bore you.

Not at...

Well, you see how different we are.

If we only...

- Excuse me, Piotr Ivanovich. - Yes?

A cable for you from Zatonsk.

Who? What?

It’s from Anna.

Master Chi...

Master Chi. Is it somewhere on Nevskiy, right?

- All right, get my coat ready. - Yes, sir.

Yes. I’ll go, too.

See you later, my friend.

Till then...

Just a moment.

Ignat, get the carriage ready for me and another one for Yelizaveta Gavrilovna.

You said a lady was here?

Can you describe her?

No, she was wearing a veil.

The master was eager to see her.

He wanted to buy this thing from her.

The snuffbox.

Did you see her?

Only for a moment, in his hands. He was so happy!

You see, the master was sure it was "the" snuffbox.

Robespierre’s talisman.

Mademoiselle Lenormand, the famous clairvoyant,

told Robespierre he was to die on a guillotine one year from then.

Robespierre didn’t like it.

I can imagine. What happened then?

He went to a Paris witch, Catherine Theo,

who made a talisman to protect him, a snuffbox.

She allegedly called for some evil spirit

whose image appeared on the inside of the lid.

Anyone who looked at it would lose their will and obey any orders.

How eerie.

I heard that a while ago

this object was stolen from a Paris collector.

Yakov Platonovich, we’re quite far from Paris.

That’s what I’m saying.

I suppose the snuffbox went missing with the other valuables.

The master put it into the safe yesterday.

Can it still be there?

Let’s go.

What can I do for you, sir?

I must admit I don’t know.

I was advised to stop by.

The general is very tired.

His army is fighting bad.

General?

What general?

Your liver, sir. Your liver.

This organ is like a general in the battlefield.

You don’t take a good care of your liver.

Foot massage helps "tsi" flow freely.

It’s very important.

Otherwise - congestion,

pain, bad thoughts.

I don’t understand. Honestly, I don’t understand.

You’re a smart man.

I hope so.

It’s bad. A man has to be silly and happy.

It’s the spot of the liver.

Hello. I heard you are doing tattoos.

Come back in an hour, sir.

Did he say tattoos?

I think I finally realized why I’m here.

Have you ever made this tattoo for anyone?

Zurong?

Maybe. Yes.

Last December.

A bearded young man, very drunk.

His friends said it was a bet.

Here.

Is this him?

Yes.

So he got the tattoo last December because he lost the bet.

He was very drunk. Very.

I tried to heal him but he wouldn’t let me.

Thank you. Here, take this.

You’ve been very helpful.

Take care of your liver.

Stop. Police!

A Chinaman.

Who are you?

I need to send a cable to the Zatonsk police.

No, I have to go there.

I’ll send a cable on my way to the station.

Has Yelizaveta Gavrilovna left?

Yes, Piotr Ivanovich. She left a letter for you.

What letter?

Thank you.

“I was looking for love and hadn’t found it.

You are just like your brother.

I’m leaving you for Taube.

He is as wealthy as you are.”

Well, Taube it is.

My eyes.

Looks like pepper dust or something like that.

Open it, quick.

I can’t feel my eyes, Yakov Platonovich.

Here it is.

Wait. If it’s that snuffbox, we should take the precautions.

Hypnosis doesn’t work on me.

Yakov Platonovich, he’s right. Don’t take risks.

Being hypnotized by a person is one thing,

and a magic object is...

Take a look.

It’s...

the gnostic rooster

Anna Viktorovna was talking about.

Abraxas.

You did come out, after all?

Don’t be angry, Yakov Platonovich.

We just walked around the house.

I hope you’re bringing good news.

A merchant, a judge, and now a jeweler.

The same trick had been performed on all of them.

The culprit escaped, but now we know who to look for.

Yes, a young Chinaman.

A Chinaman?

Wait. I hired an Altay boy two days ago

to help me at the store.

His name was Umrat.

Maybe it’s him, but you have nothing to fear.

He is powerless without the box.

I hope you hid it well.

Of course.

It’s in the safe at the police headquarters.

It’s safe there.

A magic object, you know.

I never heard about such things before. Thank you for enlightening me.

The "Encyclopedia of Heresies and Dangerous Cults"

has an extensive chapter about that.

You read it, of course, Yakov Platonovich.

I never read it.

Didn’t you order it through the book store.

"Encyclopedia of Heresies?" No. I didn’t.

But you told me that...

It’s him!

He is here!

He won’t escape this time.

Stay inside!

Stop!

Where is he?

Where is the Chinaman?

He’s over there.

Mr. Shtolman is a walking encyclopedia of heresies and dangerous cults.

Strange.

Are you surprised?

I remember you saying that Shtolman ordered that book.

I must have made a mistake.

What does it matter now?

Who are you? Speak!

Umrat Milegen.

- How long have you been in town? - One month.

One month?

And already there are three murders on your conscience.

I didn’t kill anyone.

Suppose you yourself didn’t kill anyone.

Do you recognize this?

Where did you get it?

A gentlemen gave it to me.

This one?

All right.

It’s getting clearer.

Go on. Tell us everything.

In all details.

He told me to plant it at Saadu Chiga’s.

Who is Saadu Chiga?

The merchant, Semion Nikitich.

Rukavishnikov?

Yes.

He gave me money.

A lot of money.

The kind gentleman.

Did you buy the snuffbox from judge Kudriavtsev’s widow?

I did.

Good.

And the woman?

The woman who came to the jeweler - was she your accomplice?

Where is she now?

- There was no woman. It was me. - What?

Was it you?

Dressed as a woman?

Eh?

Whom did you give the money? Tell me!

I gave it back to the gentleman. Left it in the shed, in the corner.

We should go to Kliuyev’s house. The money must still be there.

I’m waiting, Anton Andreyevich.

Go.

Quick!

Who gave orders to the victims? You?

Yes.

I said give up everything you have and go to heaven.

So you did realize what you were doing.

You knew they would kill themselves.

It would be hard for you to prove it, Mr. Shtolman.

Are you going to show the magic object to the court?

- The jury will laugh at you. - Don’t worry about the jury.

Your trial will be a secret one, and I know what the sentence will be.

You don’t know anything.

Anna!

I need to talk to you immediately.

Let him go.

Shoot yourself in an hour.

Yakov Platonovich.

Yakov Platonovich.

Yakov Platonovich, what are you doing? What’s wrong with you?

What’s going on?

What’s wrong with you?

Yakov Platonovich?

What is this?

"Ludus Finit."

Game over.

Yakov Platonovich, where is the snuff-box?

Yakov Platonovich, where is the snuff-box?

Where is the suspect?

Where is he?

Your nobleness, an urgent cable from St. Petersburg.

From Mr. Mironov.

Why is he... sending me a cable?

What?

See you tomorrow.

Was I asleep?

Something like that.

You were hypnotized.

The snuffbox.

What? The snuffbox. It was stolen.

By whom?

The Altay lad, I suppose.

He ran away,

but it isn’t the worst part.

The worst part is this.

What is it?

Mr... Kliuyev got his tattoo

a year ago on Nevskiy.

He lost a bet.

But... Whirlpool had been acting more than one year ago in St. Petersburg.

So it isn’t Kliuyev.

We’ve been fooled.

The culprit is still on the loose.

Where is Anna Viktorovna?

Polina.

She went to the seamstress for the wedding dress fitting,

and Anna Viktorovna was with her.

They never appeared at the seamstress.

An abandoned carriage was found just outside of Zatonsk.

My revolver.

Don’t worry. It’s over.

- Kliuyev isn’t... - No.

How, then...

Do you want to know everything?

Why am I here with you?

We have met before.

Hundreds of years ago.

You are my sister in belief, one of us.

I gave you that stupid book so that you remembered everything.

"Consolamentum."

"Consolamentum."

"Consolamentum."

Drink. You need to be strong.

We have to go a long way tomorrow.

This is the carriage, your nobleness.

I think they switched to another.

It’s a fork. They could have taken any road.

We sent constables along both roads. None of them has come back yet.

Why did I leave Pelageya at the Mironovs?

I should have guessed she was in danger around Anna.

You still haven’t realized?

Don’t touch me, or I don’t know what I’ll do.

We need to search the forest. They could walk.

- Chernyshev, take this side. - Yes, sir.

Follow me!

Anna, you need to wake up!

I know you can hear me.

Hurry up, my dear girl.

Time is short.

Looks like footprints.

Anna! Anna!

Anna!

Yakov!

Anna!

I’m here! Right here.

Come on! Wake up!

Take this, your nobleness.

Anna Viktorovna, where is Pelageya?

Take this.

The house... the hunting lodge in the woods.

Yakov!

Take her to the hospital.

Yakov!

You are going to be all right. I love you.

- I love you. - Yakov!

- Yakov! - This way!

Wait, Anton Andreyevich.

There.

- There is no one here. - Stay here!

You’re out of your mind!

Pelageya!

Polina, stop!

Pelageya! It’s me.

You have nothing to be afraid of.

She doesn’t know what she’s doing.

Duck, or you will be the next.

She is hypnotized! She is Whirlpool’s victim!

She is Whirlpool.

My darling!

You killed my fiancee!

I’m sorry.

I should have guessed it earlier.

You made a mistake. You made another mistake.

She deceived us all. Even the secret police.

She is alive, your nobleness.

I completely forgot about her.

"THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF HERESIES AND DANGEROUS CULTS"

She convinced us that she was Whirlpool’s victim...

No!

That we should look for a man with a tattoo on his chest.

It was Kliuyev!

He was just sending letters,

thinking he would master the magic power.

And then she set him up and killed him.

She’d kill you, too.

She loved me!

She did.

Anton Andreyevich, you...

Are you ready to hear me?

This...

This woman was at least 35.

She looked younger, obviously.

Probably because she was on a strict vegetarian diet.

One more thing.

She was a virgin.

It... It can’t be true.

No.

I’m not Raymonde.

I want to live my life with him, now.

Yakov.

Yakov!

Yakov.

I’m here.

I’m here.

It’s over.

She’s dead.

What is going on here, Yakov Platonovich.

Anna Viktorovna is still so weak.

I ask you... No, I insist that your visit is over.

No! Doctor, no!

Anna Viktorovna, my dear.

You’re my patient, so please do what I say.

I’ll stay here, doctor.

Will she get well soon?

She definitely will. Don’t worry.
