CHAPTER 1 April 9, 1865

Lee surrendered to Grant.

And now...

...when I write a story, which he witnessed, for weekly "Leslie"...

...this is the Virginia backwater...

...no longer shakes from the roar of gunfire.

I followed the war for five whole years.

AND...

...silence... And the silence of the world...

...this is somehow too much for my nerves.

I'm overwhelmed with emotions.

You should drink, Jim!

You don't want to be overwhelmed by emotions, do you?

You want readers to read this in the morning.

You are right! And I have a cocktail.

Of course, this does not seem to be a natural fact.

There is no roar of guns...

Ambulances line the roads.

Use your inspiration which you are so famous for, Jim.

“Today the ambulance is inactive”...

...said Jim Steed, a famous war correspondent.

"The ships no longer depart, loaded with crippled humanity"...

Well, that's enough!

Crap! Damn it!

- What's happened? - It's Lee!

Lee returns from the war!

You didn't give up the fight, General? Will we still fight?

No no! We're just going home to sow the fields.

And when we return, we will rush into battle again! Is that so, General?

We're not going home.

It's just a smart move to hold the Bluecoats. Right, General?

What's your name, Lieutenant?

Cleve Blunt, sir.

- Where are you from? - From Hopewell, sir.

From the Running Bull Mountains area.

So you must be Miss Patty Blunt's son?

Yes sir.

So come home, Lieutenant.

And tell your mother that you are now laying down your arms...

...and return to your books.

But I want to continue the fight, General.

Until we beat them!

Peace is a victory no less than war.

The old hymn says...

"Success and change follow each other...

A person weakens and time passes.

" We must move with the times, Cleve.

After all, nothing remains unchanged.

I'm from Leslie Weekly.

The general told you to go to college. Will you follow his advice?

Since I was 16 I haven't done anything except how he fought.

I can't stop now but I'll try.

Who's in charge here?

You have to listen to me a minute!

This is very urgent.

I am a military observer.

And I would like to send a dispatch to my embassy in Washington...

...from where it will be handed over to Count von Bismarck in Berlin.

Are you accredited?

Frank Leslie? Leslie! Bah!

I want to send a dispatch to Count von Bismarck! Do you understand?

- Count von Bismarck... - For me he is just a Prussian.

- Hello, Count! - Ah, Steed!

You have to help me. Count Bismarck is waiting for my report.

I wanted to point out mistakes admitted by Lee.

Of course! You can point out errors.

Only a great man... like Lee...

...knows that there can be no mistake for the country if the guns fall silent.

The guns are never silent Herr Steed!

Your wisdom is in the guns... You Prussians love guns!

Okay, let's send it.

BERLIN OPERA season 1866

gala concert at the request of His Excellency COUNT VON BISMARCK

ANNA MARIA, prima ballerina of the Vienna Imperial Opera

Part 1: "THE BLUE DANUBE" by Johann Strauss Part 2: "SALOME"

- She's really charming! - Yes, I saw her in Vienna.

Goodbye, Colonel!

- It was nice to meet you, Your Excellency! - Goodbye! Goodbye!

It's Steed!

A workhorse in a tailcoat and tie!

- Steed, old man! - Hello, Colonel!

Hello! Gladys, this is Mr. Steed...

...whom I had the pleasure of meeting during the war in the States.

- My bride, Miss Thorndyke. - How are you doing?

War correspondent? American in Berlin?

Well, we're like vultures, ladies...

We flock and wait, until the lions die.

You don’t believe that the “Prussian Lion” will die, do you?

No, but I think the Austrian Lion will wear him down considerably.

Jim, we're in Berlin!

I'm sure Mr. Steed is not here for military reports.

Just like everyone else he came to fall at the feet of the Viennese ballerina.

What chance do I have compared to the Austrian Archduke?

I am His Majesty's military attaché...

We can't talk about such things!

Please forgive me!

Jack! I've been waiting for you for an hour!

I received a telegram from New York. A very important mission!

- My German teacher. - Yes!

Is it true that this dancer hopes to marry an Austrian prince?

Every woman dreams of becoming a princess.

I'm sorry!

- Jim... - No scenes, please! I promise you!

- Do you promise? - Yes! I'll be here! I swear!

Now - please!

Another German teacher?

No. This one gives me lessons... piano games!

Piano...

Returning to the ballerina... She won't dance for the Prussian government tonight?

Well, you know, something like a compliment from the royal house in Vienna.

For no broken bones.

I read an absolutely disgusting article about her.

In one of those terrible American weeklies...

- Gladys! - But I really read it!

I'm flattered. I wrote this!

This must be delivered to Vienna too.

It diverges far enough.

I would like for her to visit New York.

Here's the call to start!

Can I have some champagne?

I want to talk to an American and I'll join you.

- I'll be waiting. See you again! - Yes!

Won't you stop poking your nosy American nose...

...into high politics?!

Maybe today they'll punch me in the nose...

But sooner or later I will answer!

If you end up in jail, let me know. I have connections.

Send me a file in a loaf of bread, old man!

She's beautiful!

It's worth any campaign!

After four years in America...

...I can’t imagine anymore how to start a campaign in Europe.

The initial steps are always the same...

Flowers and champagne!

Love is just like war!

First you show signs of friendliness, to lull the enemy's vigilance.

The lady has access to the royal family in Vienna.

In fact, one of the Habsburgs listens to her more...

...than to the emperor himself.

Do you remember me, von Bohlen?

I helped you send a dispatch after the Battle of Appomattox.

You have disturbed the peace of Count von Bismarck!

So, introduce me to the Count.

Seeing you in the audience, I decided ask you a few questions me questions.

This person is abusing a chance meeting.

Get out!

Get out before I throw you out!

Listen, Count... Is this how it should be?

treat the American military correspondent? Yes, Erich!

He is our old comrade in arms...

I greatly admire the military campaigns of the American General Jackson.

I could talk about Stonewell all night!

It's difficult today!

Can we help you with something in Berlin, Mr Steed?

Of course you can, Count von Bismarck!

You can tell me what day you chose to invade Austria.

So!

This insult is enough so I can punch you in the face!

Of course, if our Austrian cousins...

...will decide to join France...

...we will be forced to defend our homeland.

That's what I thought, sir.

- I hope you will forgive me for the intrusion. - No way!

You are too irritable today.

This is always detrimental if we have such a delicate task.

Good luck, gentlemen!

Have you seen how simple and honest our chancellor is?

If you had interrupted General Grant in the same way, what would he do to you?

He always offers me a cigar and tells the truth.

The ladies are delighted with your flowers, Count.

ANNA MARIA

Yes?

From His Excellency, Count von Bismarck.

Beautiful flowers, Herr!

What kind of rude people these Prussians are!

Every man undresses me with his eyes!

Well, now, madam, there’s nothing special to take off of you.

Sophie... This gentleman...

It is from His Excellency Count von Bismarck.

- From this vulture on the perch!? - Actually, it's not like that, ma'am.

I'm from Frank Leslie's Weekly.

- Where? - From the weekly Frank Leslie.

Doesn't look like me at all!

Do my shoulders look like they're made of iron?

Well, as far as I can see, it's more like butter and sugar.

This is something that will never happen at Count von Bismarck's banquet!

I'm sure of it, ma'am.

But since I'm in your dressing room...

...then I would like to try to interest you with a business proposal.

I can't just leave here because I witnessed talking about you...

...between Count von Bismarck and Count von Bohlen.

I'm staying here because my job is to throw away modesty.

I am not interested in any offers from you!

I'll play a little game with you.

If you manage to find out through Count von Bohlen...

...that Prussia has decided to resume the war against Austria...

...I can forward your message to Vienna.

Can you do it!? Will I be able to write to my prince?

You can if you are so smart what do you look like?

The day you attract von Bohlen's attention...

...from that day you will be under observation.

But I'm not going to attract his attention!

But that's exactly what I'm asking you to do.

If you accept an invitation to dine in his room...

...then you will be able to show curiosity about the contents of his office...

...his desk, his correspondence folders.

You can achieve much more in this dress in case of war...

...what General Grant managed to achieve in his pretentious uniform.

And who pays you?!

Have you ever thought portraying Salome...

...that we all - instruments of providence?

I am a member of the tribe of spies and journalists, ma'am.

And your heart suffers because that you will never become a princess.

Well, if we expose von Bismarck's secret plans...

...if we find out that he will strike this spring...

...if we prove that this is cold-blooded murder...

...then, in my opinion, you will help your prince too, and his country...

...and you can end up becoming a princess.

This will not only bring good, Salome, but it will also make people talk about you Sincerely.

Sophie, look who's knocking.

It’s fate itself that’s knocking, Salome.

Oh Anna Maria!

I have the great honor introduce to you His Highness, Count von Bohlen...

...from the Prussian General Staff.

Mars! He brings his usual tribute to the goddess Venus!

It would be a great honor for me most graceful fraulein...

...if we had lunch together in Bristol.

Of course, in the large hall.

Oh, this is already a big room.

I am at a loss for words when I see such beauty...

...to offer to have dinner in your room.

My room is stuffy.

But it’s difficult for me to offer my apartment.

An actress in your apartment!?

Yes, this will probably get approval...

...chief of the Prussian staff!

Thank you for the wonderful flowers!

They are graceful!

Sophie!

Take care of them please!

What wine do you choose?

I like Hungarian wines.

- Tokay. - What about the temperature?

The temperature of your apartment.

Who helps Americans get information about European military secrets?

Birdie?

You, military attaches, you can't see the forest for the trees.

Speaking of trees... It's a beautiful plant over there, isn't it?

Accompanied by Prussian oak.

I'll tell you, Steed...

...you hide your admiration in front of women under his rude manners. Isn't it?

- Do you mind? - Not at all, boy!

If it was meant for me I wouldn't ask permission.

I bet it's a little message concerns Bismarck's intentions regarding Austria.

I never take such sure bets, Colonel.

You know, Colonel... With your powers of observation and my brain, we could win this war.

My dear friend, what kind of war is this?

The one that starts tomorrow.

Steed?

I give you the highest score!

Time is running out, Colonel.

I must send my dispatch to Leslie's weekly.

And I ask you to please me with your company, my dear Henderson...

...at the beginning of the war between Prussia and Austria...

...tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.

So, Colonel...

...if the Austrians try resist them using the same same tactics as Jackson...

...they'll lose their pants before nightfall.

I can assure you they will lose them!

The Prussians learned more from Jackson, than Frederick the Great.

We have to get out of here.

Let's go! Let's send our horses to a quieter place in any of the countries!

Cognac "Napoleon"!

What a luxurious war, brother, You Austrians are used to leading!

Well...

At least I can find out your name...

...tell your family, so as not to suffer.

I'm sorry, Your Highness!

But a woman's life can be involved in this game.

"Because, my dear Kurt, i love you more than anything else in this world...

...today I gained success by stealing from a Prussian staff officer...

...a detailed plan of their movements in the Elbe Valley.

Nothing but love for you I don't feel...

...which helps me during this trial that befell me.

” Are you wounded, Herr Steed?

A simple fall from a horse.

And it puts you in a position When is it permissible to rob the dead?

Sergeant Major!

The allies fled, right?

Rumors that a spy has infiltrated us are beginning to be confirmed.

Were you with him?

In the general chaos, I fell right on top of him.

And that package of letters that you hid under the stones?

-Have you read them? - Yes!

And you were going to steal the medallion?

I was going to give it back to someone.

You have to let me do this for you!

I will order you to be shot, like a marauder on the battlefield!

Perhaps von Bismarck will do the same to you.

When you deliver these letters to the people at your headquarters...

...they will shoot you, for sharing military secrets...

...with the lady who fooled you.

Life for life!

Two lives for one of yours!

Of course I won't harm her.

To my regret, I love her.

Sergeant Major!

Issue a safe conduct and escort Herr Steed!

I obey, Count!

I am providing you with a safe conduct and an escort.

You are free to go wherever you want.

Graph!

Have you forgotten anything, Count?

Letters from a lady.

Or should I tell your chief of staff about them?

Dear, the American is right!

You can't stay in Vienna!

Prussia will be in this city tomorrow! No time to be pretentious now!

We'll go to Paris.

Prussia will be there next year too!

You know this better than me!

If only Kurt had used my information!

The plan that I...

...stole for him!

You should be proud of him.

He lost the war lost your life.

And to save his beloved...

...he chose to die at the hands of a Prussian officer.

Yes, this man loved you very much.

And now this Prussian will hunt me all over the Earth.

Fräulein, he's here!

Listen, I have enough money to provide you with tickets from Trieste to Galliston.

Professor Max will arrange the music...

...and you can dance on stages in San Francisco.

Darling I'm not too old to become a pioneer?

Invite His Highness to the Fraulein's bedroom...

...in two minutes, Sophie!

Do what you're told, Sofia!

Don't you realize that San Francisco was made for you?

If Paris and Vienna are ready to pay you...

...then don’t doubt the tycoons from the Gold Coast!

But...

This is all too new to me.

New? San Francisco!?

This is like another chapter from "A Thousand and One Nights"!

Arriving at the Golden Gate, we will feel like wolves - among a flock of sheep.

And this time I'll make history and don't describe it!

And I will get you out of this mess!

So don't remain a lonely lady, awaiting a great truce!

Well, for now, Uncle Jim...

Poor old Uncle Jim will take a position at the back door.

When he comes in take an innocent pose...

...and blow out the lamp, which will serve as a signal to me.

Music, professor!

Yes?

Your game has been delayed! And don't need another one of yours great performances!

You tricked me into falling in love with you.

And I will never forgive this!

Now you can calm down and relax.

What did you say?

I told you to relax!

All dangers are now behind us.

Now we'll go straight to Drinkman Wells.

I'm looking forward to arriving in San Francisco.

Oh, don't blame Jim!

He completely forgot what his country was like, while I was absent here.

How spacious it is!

And how expensive it is - get over from the "hell in the middle of nowhere" to "hell-knows-where".

Twenty eight days. And we all didn’t have a crown left!

Don't worry, Max!

We have a small one ahead of us, but a close-knit community Wells Drinkman...

...where our Viennese splendor will help us not die of thirst!

Well, guys, here we are - at Drinkman's Wells!

Oh look, Max!

Madame Europe...

That's what Jim might call intuition. Yes?

- That's right! - Well...

Welcome guys!

Well, you can negotiate the stage for yourself.

- Restaurant on the other side of the street. - Thank you!

What do you want?

We want the best housewife Madame Europe! And much more!

European cousins! Spanish wines! French beds!

Tapper piano, which a professor could play.

And a stage for the ballerina.

Of course, guys, right? Come in now!

Excuse us for the reception!

Here at Drinkman Wells, some problems.

- What kind of problems? - Problems with the bandit.

He calls himself "Stagecoach Cleve.

" It is unlikely that he is a strict Baptist, because it explodes chests and fires kerosene carriages.

And no one will care to somehow regulate this banditry.

And every time he uses the same outdated technique...

...extorting all their money from the city's residents.

Maybe we have what this town needs - a good show?

I think it will also blow up the drunks!

And this little lady is our dynamite.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, then now she...

...may explode no more spectacularly than a firecracker.

Sorry if I don't fit this description...

But the journey was so long and so hot!

Yeah... Well!

Let's! Your trick worked!

You were right about the intuition.

Madame Europe...

And you really are a real oasis!

They called me all sorts of things but never before so much that I liked it to myself!

It brings me back.

We arrived here ten years ago.

And I was the manager of the most wonderful artist in the world!

But he just couldn’t resist playing cards.

One day, he saw an ace in the sleeve of one of the players...

...and he quarreled with two shooters at once.

We buried him. In Boothill.

And a row of bottles of the purest whiskey...

...decorated his grave.

Are you saying that they buried him in the same place where he was killed?

What's left.

And our Henry!

...he was the greatest master...

...crack the whip!

He founded a new show at the Red Dog Saloon.

Oh, by the way... What are you going to perform?

Max, this is your thing.

Pantomime.

Why not...

Why not Sleeping Beauty?

Oh no! Not here! They don't like sleepers.

I know what will wake them up!

- "Salome"! - Salome?

-Is she that good at dancing? - So good!

Drinkman Wells will remember this forever!

SALOME big show

AT NIGHT only one show: European star ANNA MARIA as SALOME

The most beautiful girl in the world! Come on in!

- Get your tickets ready! - Fine!

Sheriff! Will you guard my knife?

I hope you're not too full of peas, Dobby?

May I ask for your attention, gentlemen?

Let's play music, professor!

Gentlemen! Welcome!

With great difficulty...

...overcoming the heat of the great American desert...

...through the storms of the Atlantic Ocean...

...of the greatest capitals of Europe...

...we have brought together the greatest talents for you...

...both foreign and native, from among the locals...

...deserts never before seen in this outpost...

...at Drinkman's Wells.

Quiet please!

And our best orchestra is led by...

...world famous Viennese composer...

...trained at L'Opera, Professor Max Blumenthal!

What a disgrace?! Come on, stop shooting!

- What? - Well, sit down!

With the first issue, I am pleased to present to you...

...beloved by all local bohemians...

...Madame Europe!

Hey, it's old Bess! It’s as if we haven’t seen her here for four years!

Judy! What do you do after the performance?

Jim! Jim...

- What's happened? - It seems like we shouldn't go out. Isn't it?

We're close to that we'll get stuck in problems!

Madame Europe is unlikely to succeed with these barbarians!

Jim, I'm worried!

Don't worry, honey! You will come to their rescue!

But this audience...

She makes me shiver!

They will eat from your hands just like me!

What's up with the cash register?

We have enough money to get to San Francisco with pomp.

Where is this Salome wandering?

-Where is Salome? - We want Salome!

Oh, these men!

I've never seen anything like this before!

Listen, honey! When you dance, a man remains a man...

...does he wear a plaid shirt, which for him is the highest chic...

...or he is a gentleman in a tie and tails.

Oh Jim! This is exactly what what do I need!

Since we make a lot of money, why don't we make a deal?

Are you proposing to me?

And it's not just stage fright.

I was ready to propose to you as soon as I first saw it.

Get ready to perform!

We want Salome! We want Salome!!!

And the next number, gentlemen...

We have the greatest show...

Unique and amazing...

OK then! Fine!

At the request of most people...

Salome!

I'll give all my money!

Shut up and sit down!

What a shine!

Richboy! Keybridge!

Go ahead guys!

Max...

This is Kurt coming back to life!

This is too much, Stagecoach Cleve!

You not only rob, but you’re also ruining the show!

Yes, very bad, Sheriff. But you made our task a lot easier...

...by confiscating everyone's weapons at the entrance.

Thank you!

I remember you.

You are Cleve Blunt.

You talked to General Lee after the Battle of Appomattox.

Now I am Stagecoach Cleve.

Are you still fighting?

Please open the cash register, mister!

If you're done robbing me and all these people...

...I would like to continue my dance.

This is what they came for and paid for it!

Go ahead, lady! Dance!

Sit down guys!

Sorry to interrupt your fun! But keep your hands up!

Keep playing, Max.

Hands up!

Bravo! It was wonderful!

I thought that American bandits were more romantic people...

...and not primitive thieves...

...who attack unarmed people.

Well, okay, guys! Let's leave!

Calm down!

Let's catch up with them guys!

Well, what was great was how you danced for them.

Yes, yes! But how do we get to San Francisco now?

Looks like we're done for. Looks like there's a theater in Drinkman Wells...

...who is unable pay after the show guest stars!

Hmm...

Why not?

Or isn't it romantic enough for you?

And if that's the case, why did you look at me like that?

Why did you dance for me?

No... You don't understand!

You remind me of someone.

And when I danced it seemed to me that he was alive again.

And she almost became happy again.

Where is he now?

He...

He's dead.

Regret!

He was killed in the war.

Are you a soldier too?

Yes, I was a Confederate soldier.

Under the command of General Lee!

But then I don't understand Why do you need all this?

Why did you become a bandit?

The fruits of defeat...

“When peace comes, no one cares about our wounds,” that’s what the soldiers say...

...broken by the war.

Did the war break you?

Yes ma'am.

"We sat down by the rivers of Babylon.

We hung our lyres in the middle of the willows...

...and we wept when we remembered Zion.

" Yes, this is a beautiful psalm.

"For there those who took us captive asked us...

...about the words of songs and those who took us away - about our singing.

" What is this song about?

It's about a Christmas tree...

About a Christmas tree in lights and snow.

And the colored fox circles around her, and the Christmas bear is trampling in the hall...

Candies and apples, popcorn garlands...

...and glazed cookies.

Do you see? You are actually not a bandit at all!

You are simply someone who has lost faith.

For a while.

How can you have faith if you have nothing?

And no one...

But you are not alone...

...if you believe it.

I need people ready to come with me!

You know these places much better than me!

We can't leave the sheriff to deal with this alone!

We should all go searching!

- Other people, if they... - Look!

SALOON "RED DOG"

Here's all your money! Everything, to the last cent!

And these are ours, Jim.

Hey guys! Come back! A miracle happened!

Look!

Are you okay?

Yes, Jim! Don't worry!

But we decided that you were kidnapped and you are in danger!

- And you say “don’t worry”?! - And she’s right!

Soon we will leave here - we will go there, where we will fool all the tycoons from the Gold Coast.

And when the sheriff returns...

...we'll let him know that Stagecoach Cleve will never again won't cause problems.

Because he will also come with us.

With us!?

This is a free country!

And since there are so many robbers here, The lady needs protection!

It looks like you have a competitor.

Gentlemen!

Gentlemen...

Gentlemen!

I hope everything was returned to you.

Guys, how about this to shout "Hurray!" this little lady?

Hooray!!!

Oh thank you!

I will never forget about this town in my life...

- About the town... - About the city...

Hey, wait a minute!

This city will no longer vegetate ingloriously...

...under the most banal of names Drinkman Wells!

From now on this city will be known...

...like "The City Where She Danced Salome"!

Hooray!!! Hooray!!!

I'm so glad we took Steed's advice...

...and came here to San Francisco!

This city is as charmingly musical as in One Thousand and One Nights!

All we have to do is find the key which will open before us Golden Gate!

Oh dear! Expensive!

You will be excellent at this!

Everything is ready for the great dance!

All we need now is these are large gilded doors...

...and heavy curtains, and the sparkling grand staircase, and...

Bravo! Bravo!

Oh, how I wish Cleve would come back soon!

I'm so excited and excited!

I feel like I'm about to premiere!

I keep thinking about how not to forget my lines.

Well, I never forgot my lines.

But I remember one very tense moment...

...when I forgot to put mine on...

Madame Europe...

Tiara! That's what I wanted to say.

All this makes you worry. Unless we meet an angel!

But this city is bursting with gold!

And it shines so brightly that it doesn’t allow us to see the picture clearly!

But I just read a very nice little article.

About the most fabulous tycoon in San Francisco: about Colonel Ivan Dimitrioff.

That's who the top of this society is!

The press describes his exploits.

"Dimitrioff presented to the royal family!" "Dimitrioff is buying up the Gold Coast"!

"Dimitrioff spends a fortune on charity"!

- And so on. - Is this a photo of him?

That's right, that's him.

Now we need to do this for him to do charity work for the benefit of our organization.

Sprinkle just a little "Pikon" in my vodka, please.

I'm holding it for you, Colonel.

As I understand it, you are the most rich man on the Gold Coast, Colonel?

Yes, I'm one of those people...

...who don't even try to hide their enormous wealth.

Then maybe you would like to purchase this heron crest?

I would say that he is from Malaysian territory.

This is a very rare breed!

Yes, I'm sure it is - "Ardea Sumatranica".

But with such a divine appearance, which one I see over there...

...it's not worthy to wear anything else, except for "Ardea-puparia".

Local community from Europe...

...ready to give everything for this, down to the last penny, although it can be found in everyone Parisian shop.

I'll give it to you for... one and a half thousand dollars.

My good friend! I see we've moved on to trading?

Here's two thousand dollars.

- I don't have change. - Never mind! Keep the change!

Oh, thank you, sir! Thank you!

Sir, won't you tell me the lady's name, which just came out?

Which lady, sir?

Do you have more than one?

This lady, sir, is a famous Viennese dancer...

...which may have caused the war between Prussia and Austria.

And she suffers deeply!

Her suffering will soon end!

No need! I'm not injured! We hooked him!

I ask for your forgiveness!

But mademoiselle is too good to wear false feathers.

The nature of tropical India has worked for millions of years...

...to find plumage, worthy of your beauty.

I hate the smell of gunpowder!

Well, we're leaving!

- Madame Europe! - Well, what now?

Is this a real Rembrandt?!

Isn't he beautiful?

I think it's time for him to take a laxative!

I should go with a six-shooter to this Dimitrioff!

Oh no! Please!

Russians are a people who love to show off!

But they are also very generous people.

Now, just put a little more pressure...

...and he will build a theater for me...

Colonel Dimitrioff will only laugh at Jim's little trick.

I don't like this trick at all!

You've had enough problems! And you've paid enough for these problems!

Cleve!

I didn't mean to hurt you... But I also have problems...

However, the theater is not the place where you should start your life anew!

You were not created for this to vegetate here!

But everything is great here!

Just like Paris! Well, a little.

You said...

...that you will do anything, if I improve.

Yes! Anything!

Then come home with me! To Virginia!

I want you to leave here.

There is nothing good for you here. Nothing at all! And you know it!

Oh Cleve!

Yes?

Well, what kind of people?!

What kind of city?!

Do the Russians have such resources?!

Rembrandt!

Everything is like in fairy tales "A Thousand and One Nights"!

Max! Max!!!

- What? What's happened? - Max, look! Look!

This... This is Rembrandt!

Rembrandt himself!

And this is the original!

Yes! All life! All art! All grief!

- So, did he get it? - Got it?

The colonel bought a Rembrandt. A small gift for you!

This scarred freak?!

Tell me how much in total could something like this cost?

Maybe $15,000?

- Let's see what he says. - The old man in the picture?

He'll say he needs a drink!

So do I!

The Colonel would be happy to host us all for dinner.

Well! Let's eat everything he has in his house!

- Bravo!!! - Bravo!

Wonderful! Wonderful, my heart! You were excellent!

I'm really proud of you!

And this is just the beginning!

A beautiful bird, but in a cage - let it be spacious and golden.

You say absolutely like my grandfather.

Was he from China?

No sir. He came from Scotland.

Oh Scotland!

There I received my medical degree and diploma.

And here I am!

I now serve as a metaphysician...

...with this wonderful man - Dimitrioffe!

I'm so glad! It's like I'm at home in Vienna!

You know, Dimitrioff, and you are a real wizard!

Mademoiselle Anna-Marie! Great honor to receive such a great artist!

Anna-Maria, you are charming!

I would like to assure you mademoiselle...

...saying that the city...

...who fell prostrate before Lola Montes...

...was taken by you without firing a single shot.

You are very kind!

In opera this is a real tragedy, that the voice will grow...

...in proportion to the chest.

But in this fragile creature...

"This turns me into a barbarian"!

How remarkable is your insight!

And I see that you - an insightful woman.

- As the Greeks absolutely accurately noted... - Just a second, Plato.

I knew that this cigar was delivered from Sumatra itself!

My dear!

In the restaurant you didn't let me fight...

...with Captain Blunt, and I thank you for that!

My nephew, Captain Blunt, - basically a good guy.

Where did the lady meet him?

He was a Confederate attache to the Habsburg court in Vienna.

And when I was forced to leave my country...

...Captain Blunt was so kind...

She's so beautiful when he tells this story...

...that I almost believe her.

This former bandit no longer has to fear prosecutors...

...because now I - his friend!

Former bandit? Colonel, You seem to have been misled.

Well, well, Mr. Steed!

You see, Dr. Lin keeps me well informed.

REWARD $10,000 for capture, alive or dead,

"STAGECOACH CLEV" And what are you going to do?

We are great friends and I'm ready to give your last dollar, just to serve him.

That's it! Last dollar!

I'm going to become his friend.

I have already persuaded the transportation company Butterfield drop the charges against him.

Well done, Colonel!

I can't even express how happy this makes me!

Come in, my dear!

Let's drink champagne and celebrate!

- Champagne, please! - Yes, sir...

Well, now, ladies and gentlemen...

...let's all raise a toast to the beautiful Anna Maria!

Her star is rising...

...and will always shine with increasing brilliance!

The young lady is not for you.

Dimitrioff noticed her, which means it will bind you to you forever.

My Scottish heritage doesn't allow me to give up easily.

Mr Steed...

I'm very worried. Listen...

We have a wonderful woman who suddenly discovers...

...a certain gentleman similar to the person who she loved.

Now, arranging her future...

...how can I plan her life, how can I build a big theater...

...how can I transplant her brilliant ballet essence...

...into the harsh soil of the New World?

Since you have forgiveness for Cleve regarding his tricks...

...received in a message from Butterfield...

...the future seems brighter.

Yes, and since he is forgiven...

...he can go back to Virginia.

But he won't take the opportunity to leave. Look!

Yes, I understand why he wants to stay.

You start to envy him Colonel Dimitrioff?

My good friend, we need the wisdom of the East.

I understand that this is a dilemma.

I can offer you give the young man a job, to dangle...

...between Fresno and San Francisco.

Yes, but that won't remove him from her thoughts.

But it will destroy their chances forever, colonel.

If one of the lovers leaves the other for a distant country...

Oh God!

Will he then commit the sin of King David from the Old Testament?

And if the young man is sent do the work not close, but not far...

This will end the mystery and romance.

My dear Doctor Ling, you are wonderful!

And the next topic on the agenda of our consular wars...

...the question will be how to get rid of Mr. Steed?

Do you have any suggestions?

Well, if your information is correct, Dr. Ling and von Bohlen are on the way here...

...maybe he can tell you how to achieve this.

Alas, Mr. Steed! Business first, pleasure later!

And my thoughts are now occupied with How to get this Prussian away as quickly as possible.

The greatest vigilance will be required from us...

...and applying all our strength, to protect Anna Maria.

Surveillance and intrigue...

...she put herself at risk of the death penalty.

Your opponent's revenge will know no mercy.

And this girl's blood...

...the only thing that can restore von Bohlen to his former glory.

I knew Dr. Ling would have a solution.

And while the work is going on, I can't wait for the show to launch.

You have to remember, Jim...

I have never seen such conspirators before.

You'd think they were preparing a robbery rather than a ballet performance.

I've never looked like this when he was preparing for his robberies.

- Well, now it's all over. - Yes!

I was able to obtain complete forgiveness for your boyish antics.

That's very nice, Colonel.

I also found a job for you as an armed escort...

...on those same stagecoaches which you robbed.

- Is that so? - Yes, that's right!

Do you think I can shoot my old friends?

I'm not ready to switch sides yet.

I'll get back to looting soon!

Well, gentlemen...

You can look for another way to take it from me.

Girl!

Believe me, I am your friend.

Oh, my dear Doctor Ling...

I really appreciate your friendship.

Your instructions erased all doubts and fears in me.

Then I have to try so that you understand everything clearly.

It happens that a wise woman is better off...

...adapt to the current circumstances...

...how the ship adapts to the cargo it is carrying.

Never try to change a woman's heart choice, gentlemen!

Unless you can convince her that...

...that she herself caused these changes.

Well, such a change can hardly be difficult...

With your wisdom and generosity Dimitrioff!

And with the talent of a lady.

THE WIDOW OF CLIFTON'S SALOO the best vacation for sailors in San Francisco

Hello guys! Hello guys!

- What's the matter, guys? - We need you, Cleve.

This will be the most profitable business for all the time we crossed paths. Extraction enough for everyone!

How did you know where I am?

We learned that Butterfield has forgiven you...

...at the request of the Russian government.

What kind of work?

A Chinese boat dropped anchor here.

It is filled with silk and jade.

I met one of the team, we had a drink with him.

He's in business with us. We will sell the mining in Panama.

- Sea pirates, how do you like it? - Yes, this is something...

We want you to be with us.

- What are we waiting for? - Nothing.

Everything is planned. Let's go, guys!

I'll take over as captain. You will hold the crew.

- And remember - don’t kill anyone! - Don't worry!

They are worth saving to steer the ship.

Hands up, mister!

You seem too pious to kill you.

Come on in, buddy.

And confess your sins.

Doctor Ling!?

You heard me! I said hands up!

Yes...

I'll pick them up.

And now? Are you going to rob me, buddy?

Here I have a poem...

...written by a man two thousand years ago.

It talks about a peach tree which bloomed in his garden.

And who stole the petals from the branches of this peach tree?

The wind did it every spring!

Take me to the captain of this ship!

He's right behind you.

Strange mechanisms on the crossbow...

But his arrow kills as surely as a bullet.

What's going on here? Where are Jed and my friends?

Look out the window, buddy.

So it was a trap.

- And you regret it? - I don’t regret anything!

Each of your friends is free and will be able to choose their own path.

Which path will you choose, buddy?

Whatever I choose turned out to be wrong.

Whenever I was faced with two roads, I chose the wrong one.

We gave you a chance, mate.

For me to go against my friends?

The right path is always more difficult than the others.

When a person repents...

...he is never afraid of the length of the path he has taken.

No...

The thought of leaving his comrades in arms frightens him...

The thought of walking alone along the bitter path of a peaceful life.

You are fed with the bread of war...

You know how to fight and know nothing else!

Yes, that's right! I've been fighting since I was 16!

This is a good thing - fight for what's right!

- But what is right? - What a person believes in.

I don't believe in anything!

And even...

...to Salome?

Yes! I believe in her...

Dr. Lin, I...

So, did you take part too?

Yes.

-Are you angry? - No.

Nothing matters to me when I'm with you.

Men are ready to die for you.

I need a man who would live!

- For your sake? - For your own sake!

Cleve, you promised...

I promised to love you all my life.

If I could always remember you as you are now...

This is a part of me.

Maybe this will help you.

Eternal paths of youth.

Give them beauty and help them retain wisdom.

Now that we're both on board, it makes me homesick.

Yeah! Blue smoke over the tobacco barns...

I haven't thought about anything else for six months.

Everything is better in the open air than in prison.

Yes, and also - more informative.

Go ahead, boys! Went!

Do you see that guy in the blue coat?

Oh no, buddy! This gentleman is a killer. I've seen these!

- May be. - I asked if I would take him to San Francisco...

- ...and will there be time... - Time for what?

He wants to be sure that he will have time to see Salome on the day of the premiere.

- Is that so? - Yeah!

So I think she - great dancer.

Men come from everywhere to look at her.

Killer, huh?

Colonel Ivan Dimitrioff announces a BIG OPENING new APOLLO THEATER

SALOME

Ladies and gentlemen, company employees!

Mr Steed wants to talk to you.

Guys! It's 4 am here now. and the opening is tonight!

Once it's all over...

...the best citizens of San Francisco will shower you with diamonds on stage!

You have been amazing these past six difficult weeks.

Sorry to keep you up late.

I know that you are exhausted and want to rest! Goodbye everyone!

When you change clothes, I'll be happy to take you to your hotel.

Thanks Jim! But I want to stay...

...and repeat the pirouettes. I'm not sure of myself.

But this is nonsense! You've made quite a lot of them!

You need rest!

No no! Max, don't argue! You know when to start!

Don't worry Jim! Max will take me home.

- Good night! - Same to you!

- Eric! - What, are you surprised?

Nice, I hope.

It is obvious that you, friends, They didn't expect me so soon.

You have no power over me here!

I came from Washington...

...where he managed to clarify all the diplomatic differences.

You are returning with me to Berlin!

She is not a subject of the King of Prussia!

And Washington does not expel political refugees.

Yes.

They are the ones who made America!

Homeless, talented and brave!

This is not a matter of politics.

This is a more serious matter!

I have influential friends...

...who are capable of throwing you out of this city!

If your Russian interferes...

...the tsar will recall him to St. Petersburg!

Dr. Schultz - our consul - Already informed Colonel Dimitrioff...

...an alternative to recalling it.

Listen, darling...

How could you betray me after How were you and I so close?!

You gave me every reason to believe that I should fall in love with you.

And even now...

...you won't have to return to Berlin...

...if you agree to come with me.

I can give you everything what do you have here...

...with that Russian of yours or Mr. Steed.

Well...

You have my proposal. It's up to you to decide.

The solution is simple - you leave here!

And return to where you came from! One!

- Please give us... - Don't bother! I've heard enough!

When you're ready, I'll walk you home.

Let's go, darling!

Anna!

Today I will be in the audience.

- I will lead your admirers. - Get out!

Another member of the club!

I don't blame you. Many men love her.

Where I came from Don't insult a lady's name!

- Please, Cleve! Please... - Come in!

Let's go, darling! It will be better this way.

I'll get rid of His Highness for now!

Only a coward abuses the situation in front of an unarmed...

You're right!

It's worth fighting for.

But I don't cross swords with suckers.

Don't worry!

There was a French fencing teacher in our regiment.

OK then!

Let's see how much you remember.

It was fast.

You were a good swordsman student.

Now let's see do you remember how to reflect the second lunge after the first.

- Max! Max, we have to stop them! - But what can we do?

Well, you've learned a lot of lessons! This is good!

If you are also good at love, then you are a serious contender!

Where you go no rivalry!

Cleve!

Cleve? Cleve...

Cleve! Cleve, you don't have to run!

You should stay here!

Are you injured? It's my fault.

I will say that it was I who killed him!

We'll figure this out together.

When I leave here I will rid you of my presence...

...then I’ll go back to where I came from.

No, no, Cleve! I'll go back to Virginia with you!

No, this is not Virginia.

I'm returning to the high road.

- Hello, Jab! - Hello, Cleve!

Is this the one you told me about?

Yeah... And it looks like his castles in the air have just melted.

Maybe he needs a drink, huh?

Get out!

What's wrong?

I was forced to kill a man.

Are there any witnesses?

Yes, girl.

Do you trust her?

I wouldn't want to.

Well, you're becoming reasonable again.

And it seems that in this case you are guided not by your mind, but by a broken heart?

Yes, and it's terrible!

Has the news already spread?

- Now it's breaking up. - Then you must leave!

Right now there is Butterfield's stagecoach in the stables...

...and awaits departure to Fresno.

- Do you want to rob him? - No, enough robberies!

- I'll go as far as possible. -Where is it?

To Virginia.

What a cute cap!

Shoot!

Tomorrow I'll buy you a better one.

I won't be here tomorrow.

I'm going with Cleve.

He's on a stagecoach, and he's already very far away!

You can't stop me!

Then try renting a carriage.

Dimitrioff...

You have always been so generous!

But now Cleve is wounded, we are pursuing, lost...

He was not seriously wounded. We are chasing - yes!

But is it lost? Don't worry! I'll find him!

I know you will find it to return it to me!

I'll find it for you!

After you conquer San Francisco tonight...

...with all its sparkling beauty!

Do you think I can still go on stage? Never!

How can you leave us on opening night!?

I saw the body, Colonel. What a handsome man he must have been!

Madame Europe, can you help me find Cleve?

My dear, this is just another black streak!

Why don't you rest, before the performance?

I can't perform!

Listen here, darling! I performed in Pittsburgh.

Sixteen encores! And this while my husband died!

- Downstairs, among the soubrette wigs. - No one will keep me here!

I choose the road!

I will sing in any dance hall!

In any salon, until I find Cleve!

You will sing here today!

And dance too!

Or I'll make Cleve dance for you!

But he will dance at the end of my rope!

- Darling, do you at least understand... - Max! I won't change my mind.

Anna!

All women are losing the war against the world.

You are a good woman, Salome.

And if you make the audience fall at your feet, then today you will become a great woman.

Jim...

If I followed you for the rest of my life...

...I would like to become a great woman.

But I chose something completely different for myself...

And that's more important to me than my career.

If only Cleve could read what's in my heart...

If only he knew...

...he would have waited.

Yes. To get you out of my life...

...from your world. From our world!

We are connected to each other! Tied to each other tightly!

I'm sorry Jim...

But I will never dance again.

She has always been a great artist...

But above all, she is a woman.

Doctor Ling!

-Will you find Cleve for me? - Be patient, child!

If you don't have three lives, don't waste your time.

We are being persecuted. It seems, there's a police van!

Well, let's go!

Stop just past the bridge.

Save your explosives - we still have safes to blow up!

I have more important things to do now! I have to stop this Russian.

Colonel, it seems we'll have to stop.

Sheriff, if you give in so easily, then make room!

Until our horses were shot, I should turn it around. We're getting closer to the fork.

One of the roads runs parallel to the bridge.

This gives me an idea!

Keep your gun ready!

Stand! You are under arrest!

Back!

Well, I don't blame you, Colonel.

Redeem your guilt, idiot!

You just almost killed a woman which I love!

Now she is yours! Let's go!

Just a second, sir! Don't think, that it's fair game, Colonel.

Don't blame me Mr Steed in what I do.

- Let's go, sheriff! - I hope you know what you're doing.

I've always been a big fan of beauty.

I love the beauty of cities and the glow of lights in the water...

And beautiful women!

Get in here!

When a man loves a woman half his age...

...three great qualities must unite in his love.

Generosity...

tenderness ...

...and once again generosity!

You see, Mr. Steed...

I also love beautiful endings.

Handcuff key!

-Where are you sending him? - To Virginia.

END

SALOME, where did she dance
