ART OF SEDUCTION EPISODE 10

Promise you’ll never cheat on me.

Do I look like the cheating type?

No one does.

Yet somehow, everyone cheats.

You promise me.

– Me? – You.

I promise.

There are many interpretations of Lilith in modern culture.

Everything sinful has its own allure,

forgetting that Lilith is a demoness.

Lilith destroys all that is alive and beautiful.

What could be more alive and beautiful than love?

We could make anyone cheat.

We knew what it felt like to be cheated on.

But we never thought about how the cheater might feel—

forced, not by their own will,

under external pressure.

Give it here!

Mom, what’s that?

This thing showed me you two were on the way.

Lilith helps us.

Those who destroy,

who ruin, take revenge, and lie.

Listen,

we’re doing the right thing.

I think this is the best date of my life.

Thanks for assisting the investigation!

– For long? – For long!

Might even be forever. Economic espionage.

Congratulations on the promotion, Comrade Colonel.

I’ll get going. Carry on!

Well, that’s it.

That’s taken care of.

How?

Can you believe it?

A few people have told me I’m not a bad lawyer.

For a good lawyer,

it’s all about knowing the loopholes.

To use them to your own advantage.

Let’s go!

I’m starving.

Lilith triumphed — revenge was fulfilled.

Let’s go.

As was another woman’s fate destroyed.

Forever tormented by guilt.

Sweetie, thank you.

You really didn’t have to do all that.

That surgery...

It’s expensive.

How much time do I have left?

But do take care of him.

Not everyone would do what he did.

- Who are you talking about? - How did you find out?

He came himself.

Who?

Who else? Stepan.

What is the most destructive feeling a person can have?

Guilt.

Guilt—filthy, sticky sludge

that fills up everything around you.

Lilith feeds on the vibrations of your guilt.

Fancy apartment.

You’re the first man who’s ever been here.

Also the last.

Feels good.

How are you this perfect?

For the first time, I know a man who doesn’t have a single flaw.

Maybe you just don’t know me that well?

Maybe. Though I doubt it.

He was analyzed in the most thorough way.

MILENA

Sofia was drowning in an ocean of guilt toward Stepan.

There was no justification for what she’d done.

Gramps! Gramps!

What do you want?

Where’s Stepan?

- What? - Where does Stepan live?

Hi! Could you tell me where Stepan lives?

Which Stepan?

He’s got a wheat field!

- A bakery, a bread shop... - Ah, Stepan!

So you’re that city beauty,

the one Stepan sold everything for?

The bakery, the field, the car!

Sold it all for a Moscow girl— everyone here knows that.

Then poof – the money’s gone!

She dumped him!

Stepan supported our elderly people club!

He was our sponsor!

He brought us pastries to every tea party!

Now there’s nothing! All because of you!

You city witch!

Look at her! All your fault!

Stepan!

Stepan!

Stepan, let’s talk.

Look who showed up!

- City witch! - Begging for a beating!

- City princess! - Stop it, please!

Stepan, I’m so sorry.

I just couldn’t do it any other way. I’m sorry…

I had no idea you’d sell everything

and pay for my dad’s surgery.

Stepan, I love you!

Look who’s talking!

A dumb village bumpkin, huh?

You’re primitive.

Primitive!

Do you hear what I’m saying? I love you!

- Forgive me! - I love you too.

You Moscow beauty...

Why’d you sleep with him?

Was it for the money?

Is that right?

You could’ve just asked me! Just told me!

Stepan... Stepan!

I loved her,

and she cheated on me

for money.

Do you even care about anything besides money?

Please leave, Sofia.

Where are you?

Taking the kids to the nanny.

You have a nanny?

Yeah.

Milena, I’m gonna need your help.

Did you call Anfisa?

No.

Got it.

- Let’s meet at the office. - Fine.

MOSCOW OLIGARCH ARRESTED

Anfisa promised to make him pay.

Doesn’t matter anymore.

You saved us all.

If clients had found out about the buyer list,

we’d be dead.

Have you ever cheated on someone you love?

No.

I got divorced and remarried.

But I did.

Sofia,

you did it for your father.

No.

Stepan paid for the surgery.

I did it because I no longer understand

people or love.

I...

want to do something decent—

try to get Stepan’s business back to him.

He won’t forgive you.

Doesn’t matter. I want to do it for myself.

Perfect, everyone’s here.

We punished him.

We?

Yeah, it was us

because Dmitry managed to screw up my life too.

Sorry, I didn’t introduce myself. Andrey.

We agreed— no men involved in our work.

Did you forget?

It was a necessary measure.

– He helped me! – It’s fine.

Got it! I’m not needed here.

It was nice meeting you.

Take care!

Anfisa, I don’t want to keep getting revenge.

Can you do anything in life besides destroying things?

Revenge is destruction!

I’m done, that’s it!

I just want Stepan to have his business back!

And never do this again!

I’ll go back to university,

and die a lonely alcoholic with three cats.

I found a positive pregnancy test.

Congratulations!

– Is it your fourth? – It’s not mine.

Whose, then?

Not one of my three sons’, that’s for sure.

The only one who could’ve used it is Anya.

Where is she?

I don’t know. She’s not answering.

While I was trying to find Anya,

Milena and Sofia were trying to help Stepan.

THE GREAT RUS’ AGRICULTURAL HOLDING

No.

Selling this plot...

There can be no talk of selling it.

I’m willing to pay any amount.

Why do you need that tiny plot? You’re a huge holding.

I think it makes no difference

whether you buy that plot or another one.

It does make a difference...

It does!

The former owner loved his work.

And I love my work too.

Did you see the wheat there?

It’s amazing!

The land is not for sale.

He won’t sell.

Then we’ll have to act differently.

How?

The way we know how.

The only thing that silences guilt—

is constant action.

Action in the name of saving someone else.

Sofia found out everything about him.

What’s the difference between seducing a janitor

and the head of a holding?

None. Men are primitive.

They want to be the best,

admired and one of a kind.

How about a game?

What kind?

Backgammon.

Wonderful idea!

I’ve just got something stuck between my toes.

If we didn’t know men’s most secret desires,

we wouldn’t be who we are.

Alright…

That’s better.

- Need a hand? - No, all done.

Foot fetish.

But the toe-lover

is still unaware of the surprise waiting for him.

Where did you get this?

Doesn’t matter.

What matters is your wife might see it.

What do you want?

Give back the field, the bakery, and the shop to the former owner.

You cursed blackmailers!

How do you sleep at night?!

I don’t get it.

Milena was enjoying motherhood— with a nanny.

Sofia returned the field to Stepan.

I got the hard drive with the client data.

It had to be destroyed immediately.

While seducing men, I started to feel invincible.

I thought I knew everything about Andrey,

but never imagined

he could know more about me than he should.

He figured me out.

He found my wounds...

“Want to see you. From Andrey”

Touched them with filthy hands

and used them against me.

He acted just like us.

For the first time, I wondered

what someone feels when they're forced into bed.

I found myself in the shoes

of the people we punished.

I was supposed to go after the hard drive.

Yet I went to my sis to our family home,

first time making someone's feelings

my top priority.

- I'm pregnant. - I know.

By who?

Andrey.

How?

The same tactic we used so many times.

Four steps. Step one.

Introduce yourself and smile.

Do you know that coffee selfies

get way more likes?

Seriously, try it! This is for you.

Step two. Find a shared memory or link from the past.

I only realized this after I got back from Europe.

Very recently.

Yeah?

I just got back myself.

Step three. A little message from the past.

Thanks!

Step four: the bed.

Here you go.

Coffee in bed.

Ever since I was a kid

I dreamed of doing this—

bringing a beautiful girl coffee in bed.

See? Dreams do come true.

What did you dream about?

A dog...

My sister and I really wanted a dog. – What kind?

A chocolate-colored Labrador.

We even picked out a name.

Pavel.

That’s a perfectly fine dog name. Pavel.

My sister liked a boy named Pavel.

Did you introduce the dog to your mom?

Mom was against it.

No animals in the house.

She had problems of her own.

I’d actually forgotten about all that.

So strange.

She cried so much back then.

We thought flowers would soothe her.

Promise you won’t cheat on me.

You promise me.

I promise.

You’re the best!

I'm proud of you.

I'm sorry, Anfisa.

I didn’t know you two were together.

Sofia!

Thank you.

Lilith has one weakness.

Choice.

The right to choose.

To be human, not a slave to your libido.

With money and power, you can buy

sex and even a person.

But not love.

- Tell us! - Who did you cheat on us with?

I'm gonna stab him.

Oh, you silly boys.

Farewell, Lilith!

We’re your sisters no longer.
