00:20:16,842 --> 00:20:21,762
"I beg you, stylish sir,
have mercy, please!"

325
00:20:22,347 --> 00:20:24,767
And I look down at him, and I say,

326
00:20:24,766 --> 00:20:27,266
"There is no mercy in Maxim's heart."

327
00:20:27,269 --> 00:20:28,899
Oh, Maxim-esque.

328
00:20:28,896 --> 00:20:31,016
You're a sweet and special kid.

329
00:20:32,065 --> 00:20:34,065
[applause]

330
00:20:36,195 --> 00:20:38,105
A toast to the Empress.

331
00:20:38,113 --> 00:20:39,913
She has freed women everywhere.

332
00:20:39,907 --> 00:20:41,447
And men.

333
00:20:42,534 --> 00:20:43,914
There are chairs.

334
00:20:43,911 --> 00:20:45,911
I like something hard to sit on.

335
00:20:45,913 --> 00:20:47,503
God, you're an annoying whore.

336
00:20:47,497 --> 00:20:50,747
Marial was waiting
in the carriage, lookout.

337
00:20:50,751 --> 00:20:52,421
She, too, is a hero.

338
00:20:52,419 --> 00:20:54,879
We share it,
as any married couple share everything.

339
00:20:57,508 --> 00:21:00,798
[whispering] A day, an entire day.

340
00:21:00,802 --> 00:21:03,932
She kept his death from us
for a whole fucking day.

341
00:21:03,931 --> 00:21:05,851
Deceptive bitch.

342
00:21:07,434 --> 00:21:09,394
Would you like Paul brought to you?

343
00:21:09,394 --> 00:21:10,984
Yes. No!

344
00:21:10,979 --> 00:21:11,939
No.

345
00:21:15,108 --> 00:21:18,528
As children,
Grigor and I invented a language

346
00:21:18,529 --> 00:21:19,949
only we could understand.

347
00:21:19,947 --> 00:21:21,447
We were completely mad.

348
00:21:21,448 --> 00:21:22,868
[Catherine sobbing]

349
00:21:24,618 --> 00:21:25,988
[music stops]

350
00:21:37,714 --> 00:21:39,764
Again, George.
Say all that again.

351
00:21:41,176 --> 00:21:42,506
When...

352
00:21:42,511 --> 00:21:43,971
When we were young...

353
00:21:43,971 --> 00:21:45,851
That's not how you started.

354
00:21:46,557 --> 00:21:48,557
- When we were 14...
- We should go.

355
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:50,849
The Divorce Office opens,
and I am tired of sitting.

356
00:21:50,853 --> 00:21:52,403
Bring your plates if you wish.

357
00:21:53,105 --> 00:21:54,265
Again.

358
00:21:54,273 --> 00:21:56,153
[music resumes]

359
00:22:03,574 --> 00:22:05,204
We so loved this song.

360
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,290
- Hmm.
- Shh! Both of you, so I can listen.

361
00:22:08,287 --> 00:22:09,447
Huzzah to the Empress!

362
00:22:09,454 --> 00:22:10,754
Huzzah!

363
00:22:10,747 --> 00:22:13,077
They love you.
You have freed them.

364
00:22:13,083 --> 00:22:14,673
Thank you, Empress.

365
00:22:14,668 --> 00:22:17,498
Releasing so many from unhappiness.

366
00:22:17,504 --> 00:22:20,924
I mean, think of the bitches
people are tied to.

367
00:22:25,179 --> 00:22:28,559
Ladies and gentlemen of the court,
it is a great day.

368
00:22:28,557 --> 00:22:30,887
We now have freedom from our ties.

369
00:22:30,893 --> 00:22:34,613
If one is unhappily married
in a violent coupling...

370
00:22:35,981 --> 00:22:39,111
you now do not have to bludgeon
the other to death with a rock,

371
00:22:39,109 --> 00:22:41,699
but to merely fill in a form
in triplicate

372
00:22:41,695 --> 00:22:45,445
and tie it with a ribbon
and the bind is dissolved.

373
00:22:47,075 --> 00:22:48,615
Huzzah?

374
00:22:48,619 --> 00:22:50,539
Huzzah!

375
00:22:53,415 --> 00:22:55,285
[softly] I miss my husband.

376
00:22:57,628 --> 00:23:00,758
My shocked heart
seems to not want to beat.

377
00:23:05,636 --> 00:23:06,846
Uh...

378
00:23:08,388 --> 00:23:11,848
But beat it shall, for you are my love,

379
00:23:11,850 --> 00:23:14,390
my fate, my destiny,

380
00:23:14,394 --> 00:23:16,524
and, uh...

381
00:23:17,314 --> 00:23:19,784
so, it's open, the office.

382
00:23:21,109 --> 00:23:22,609
[indistinct chatter, shouting]

383
00:23:29,117 --> 00:23:31,407
[arguing continues]

384
00:23:35,666 --> 00:23:38,836
Oh, George, um,
give one to Grigor for me, will you?

385
00:23:38,836 --> 00:23:41,296
Or do you want to retain your dignity
and do it yourself?

386
00:23:42,464 --> 00:23:43,634
He and I...

387
00:23:43,632 --> 00:23:45,222
"Had our language," blah blah blah.

388
00:23:45,217 --> 00:23:46,927
Ooh! Sh... Oh!

389
00:23:49,805 --> 00:23:50,845
Oh!

390
00:23:58,564 --> 00:24:02,194
I love the sky, looking at it.

391
00:24:02,192 --> 00:24:03,902
Always have.

392
00:24:03,902 --> 00:24:06,282
You see things.

393
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,240
And I haven't looked at it in ages.

394
00:24:09,241 --> 00:24:11,701
Just stopped, don't know why.

395
00:24:13,829 --> 00:24:16,749
Look at that cloud
shaped like an antelope.

396
00:24:17,708 --> 00:24:21,168
- Catherine...
- You can't look and talk
at the same time, George.

397
00:24:21,170 --> 00:24:22,710
Mm, so true.

398
00:24:22,713 --> 00:24:23,923
Fucking hell, George.

399
00:24:23,922 --> 00:24:25,012
Apologies.

400
00:24:26,300 --> 00:24:27,510
No, I'm sorry.

401
00:24:27,509 --> 00:24:28,469
It's fine.

402
00:24:36,935 --> 00:24:39,225
I thought I'd feel something.

403
00:24:39,229 --> 00:24:42,729
Divorce, the love of the people...

404
00:24:43,650 --> 00:24:45,110
a real achievement.

405
00:24:45,110 --> 00:24:47,110
It is.

406
00:24:47,112 --> 00:24:48,992
It will change lives.

407
00:24:50,866 --> 00:24:52,156
[body thuds]

408
00:25:00,292 --> 00:25:02,252
- MARIAL: Oh, shit.
- Good Lord!

409
00:25:02,252 --> 00:25:04,922
MARIAL: I saw her husband
putting in divorce papers.

410
00:25:06,423 --> 00:25:08,383
[thuds]
Shit!

411
00:25:10,010 --> 00:25:11,930
Ehh!

412
00:25:11,929 --> 00:25:16,269
- Get inside or you will be shot.
- But he's left me with nothing!

413
00:25:16,266 --> 00:25:17,596
Now!

414
00:25:19,186 --> 00:25:21,186
[playing Peter and Catherine's song]

415
00:25:26,068 --> 00:25:31,068
Hello. Just checking on the latest
body count from the divorce laws.

416
00:25:31,073 --> 00:25:32,283
Archie!

417
00:25:32,282 --> 00:25:33,912
God's laws work,

418
00:25:33,909 --> 00:25:37,249
and when they are meddled with
by man or woman,

419
00:25:37,246 --> 00:25:39,786
unintended consequences erupt.

420
00:25:39,790 --> 00:25:41,540
Not a good time.

421
00:25:41,542 --> 00:25:43,712
There will be some casualties
to progress.

422
00:25:43,710 --> 00:25:46,050
It's not just the death toll,
though, is it?

423
00:25:47,089 --> 00:25:48,299
What do you mean?

424
00:25:48,298 --> 00:25:51,218
Ah, there you are. Shall we walk?

425
00:25:53,303 --> 00:25:54,893
Alone.

426
00:25:57,224 --> 00:26:01,694
[indistinct chatter]

427
00:26:02,271 --> 00:26:06,731
Empress,
welcome to the Marriage Market.

428
00:26:06,733 --> 00:26:08,613
I know it is probably too soon for you,

429
00:26:08,610 --> 00:26:12,820
but all these old men
with massive estates, it is a boon for us.

430
00:26:12,823 --> 00:26:15,783
They are pathetic
and grateful and will die soon.

431
00:26:15,784 --> 00:26:18,084
It is a win for the women of Russia.

432
00:26:18,078 --> 00:26:20,748
- That is...
- Brilliant, I know.

433
00:26:20,747 --> 00:26:22,877
You finally did something right.

434
00:26:23,500 --> 00:26:27,210
There is the matter of estates,
of women left with nothing.

435
00:26:27,212 --> 00:26:29,762
I'm not interested in that.
I'm not interested in that.

436
00:26:29,756 --> 00:26:31,466
[sighs] Right.

437
00:26:31,466 --> 00:26:34,636
You meant well.
Your heart, as always, is good.

438
00:26:34,636 --> 00:26:37,056
My heart is black and dead.

439
00:26:37,055 --> 00:26:38,465
Of course.

440
00:26:39,266 --> 00:26:40,806
Look at Raskolvy.

441
00:26:40,809 --> 00:26:43,809
He divorced his wife this morning,
remarried in the afternoon,

442
00:26:43,812 --> 00:26:47,902
divorced her just before dinner,
and is now back for more.

443
00:26:47,900 --> 00:26:49,400
God.

444
00:26:49,401 --> 00:26:50,821
A mess.

445
00:26:50,819 --> 00:26:52,989
Unintended consequences.

446
00:26:52,988 --> 00:26:57,408
Don't speak to me
of unintended consequences.

447
00:26:57,409 --> 00:27:00,449
I know about unintended consequences...

448
00:27:01,997 --> 00:27:03,827
because Sweden.

449
00:27:03,832 --> 00:27:04,962
What?

450
00:27:04,958 --> 00:27:08,088
I could've said anything else,
any other words.

451
00:27:08,086 --> 00:27:10,456
Salt bath, otter spit, Irish stew,

452
00:27:10,464 --> 00:27:15,054
hurt me, love me, kiss me, forget all,

453
00:27:15,052 --> 00:27:18,222
touch me, hit me, shoot me.

454
00:27:20,140 --> 00:27:22,020
Love you with every sinew

455
00:27:22,017 --> 00:27:26,097
and one day it will hurt all over
to never touch you again...

456
00:27:30,275 --> 00:27:31,565
to never...

457
00:27:39,952 --> 00:27:42,502
to never feel our eyes meet
and inflame me.

458
00:27:44,122 --> 00:27:47,792
To never hear an inane thought
that somehow made my blood sing...

459
00:27:48,961 --> 00:27:53,011
"Don't go, don't leave me,
don't leave me."

460
00:27:53,924 --> 00:27:56,094
More than two, that last one, I know.

461
00:27:58,095 --> 00:27:59,385
I'm sorry.

462
00:27:59,388 --> 00:28:00,848
I could've said that.

463
00:28:01,932 --> 00:28:03,022
Go rest.

464
00:28:03,016 --> 00:28:04,636
Could've said that.

465
00:28:04,643 --> 00:28:09,443
You're too weak with grief to be
managing something so incendiary.

466
00:28:09,439 --> 00:28:12,439
You need to rescind
the divorce proclamation,

467
00:28:12,442 --> 00:28:15,242
go lie in a dark room, eat peaches,

468
00:28:15,237 --> 00:28:17,487
and wait for God to heal you.

469
00:28:17,489 --> 00:28:18,529
Peaches?

470
00:28:18,532 --> 00:28:23,502
I ate 40 peaches a day for a month
when Fat Mother died.

471
00:28:23,495 --> 00:28:26,415
Had to get rid of the acrid bitterness
in my mouth,

472
00:28:26,415 --> 00:28:28,665
it made me retch but would not go,

473
00:28:28,667 --> 00:28:30,997
so I needed something sweet to salve it.

474
00:28:31,003 --> 00:28:32,883
Forty peaches a day, though,

475
00:28:33,505 --> 00:28:36,175
I had continuous diarrhea.

476
00:28:36,175 --> 00:28:39,335
Sweetness in, bitterness out.

477
00:28:39,344 --> 00:28:44,224
I believe I literally emptied out
my grief in a cavalcade of peach shit.

478
00:28:44,224 --> 00:28:45,894
And it worked?

479
00:28:45,893 --> 00:28:50,563
Still cry when I eat them,
but, yes, it worked.

480
00:28:50,564 --> 00:28:53,864
Maybe unintended consequences
is just what life deals us

481
00:28:53,859 --> 00:28:56,109
and we must all just bear them.

482
00:28:56,111 --> 00:28:58,661
- Empress...
- I need to lie down now.

483
00:29:04,328 --> 00:29:05,948
I'll just say this.

484
00:29:05,954 --> 00:29:08,924
If we had divorce when you arrived,

485
00:29:08,916 --> 00:29:12,286
you and Peter
would never have fallen in love.

486
00:29:12,294 --> 00:29:15,464
You'd be back in Germany,
