Sister Liudmila, you were supposed
to be the Mother Superior.

345
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,040
It’s all in God’s hands. That’s what
the Holy Synod decided. They know best.

in your cell for the rest of your days.

People take vows out of love
for God and on their free will.

353

But for she who imagines herself
equal to God there are no laws.

00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,320
Take off your mask.

511
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:31,640
What?

512
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,280
Take off your mask.
I want to see your face.

513
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:43,920
Liubov Vasilyevna, if you want
to kick me out, it’s your right.

514
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,040
You don’t like me lingering here?
I can understand that.

515
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,920
But I won’t let you mock me.

516
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:56,000
I’m not a circus freak to act
the ape for your entertainment.

517
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,480
Goodbye, Mrs. Makarova.

518
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,200
Wait.

519
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,440
Do you really have nowhere to go?

520
00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:12,200
I have no reason to lie to you.

521
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,760
If you have some horrible secrets
lying around, I don’t care about them.

522
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,480
Were it summer, you wouldn’t see me here.

523
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:25,360
There is a closet under the stairs.

524
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,160
It’s narrow and dark,
but there is a trestle bed.

525
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,520
It’s better than sleeping
on a bench in the park.

526
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:39,800
Kseniya?

527
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,360
Kseniya, are you there?

528
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:45,840
Do you hear me?

529
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:51,800
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

530
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,160
Katerina, I’ve brought you food.

531
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,880
Why did you lock me in? I’m a free person!

532
00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:02,920
I want to leave.
You have no right to hold me!

533
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,680
God led you here,
and it means that He wants you to be here,

534
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,480
to know His truth, to accept His will.

535
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,840
You said you wrote a letter to your husband
and are ready to reconcile with him.

536
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,560
It’s a very good decision.

537
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,920
If you are at peace with your spouse,
I will let you go with him happily.

538
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,840
Give me the letter,
and I will have it sent immediately.

539
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,720
Katerina, you told me the truth,
didn’t you?

540
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,520
You wrote a letter to your husband,
or wasn’t it meant for him?

541
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,040
Katerina?

542
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:44,800
Mother, have mercy!

543
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,840
Zhadan is a horrible man!
He cannot know that I am here!

544
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,040
So you lied.

545
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,200
Lie is a horrible sin, Katerina.

546
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,720
Beg God for forgiveness, and I will think
about how you can atone it.

547
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:08,520
Wait!

548
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:10,920
Wait!

549
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,360
Look at you! All right...

550
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,200
Today is the first day she woke up
without fever. It’s good, isn’t it?

551
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:23,840
Good? I must say I am very surprised
with this tiny baby’s resilience.

552
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,680
I must confess I wasn’t all that sure
that I would be able to examine her today.

553
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,120
So the worst is over, isn’t it?
She is out of the woods?

554
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,920
Yes, yes.

555
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,600
Your daughter will be a beauty
without any pockmarks.

556
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,760
Luckily, her illness didn’t leave
any visible marks.

557
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:46,640
Just wash the pustules with water,
and they will heal soon.

558
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,760
Why are you crying now?
You should rejoice.

559
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,240
I’ve been meaning to ask you,
Olga Platonovna.

560
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,400
Would you really have shot me
if I didn’t agree to see you?

561
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:10,080
This lady would.
She is as good as her word.

MADAME MAKAROVA’S MUSIC SALON

563
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,720
I have warned you, my dear sir,

564
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,520
leave the girl alone
if you don’t want your arms broken!

565
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,200
Let… me… go!

566
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,000
Are you all right?

567
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:32,440
Thank you, kind man.
How can a drunk man be so strong?

568
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,360
It’s not the first time he is trying
to hurt you. Why did you go with him?

569
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,000
Did I have a choice?

570
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,880
Unless Madame denies him entrance,
I am obliged to service him.

571
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,240
Next time, Ira,
don’t wait for him to get rowdy.

572
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,200
- Call me at once.
- All right…

573
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,960
If Madame Makarova has any questions,
I will know what to tell her, all right?

574
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,200
I understand why Marichka fancies you,
Ivan.

575
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:03,120
Even though your mug
is a bit worse for wear,

576
00:43:03,240 --> 00:43:06,920
but you are a good man with principles.

577
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,160
Don’t you have hots for any woman?

578
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:17,640
I’m afraid the woman I have hots
for is indifferent to me at best.

579
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:23,040
If you want to know if she likes you,
make her a present.

580
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:24,920
Well-well-well.

581
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,960
Something expensive, a shawl or a hairpin.

582
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:35,840
If she takes it, it means she loves you.
If not, you should give up.

583
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,440
Maybe a purse? A special one.

584
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,880
I saw one of the girls carrying
a beaded one. So pretty!

585
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,080
That’s right! It’s Oksana’s.
That purse is a real treasure.

586
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:50,160
If you give one like that
to your girlfriend, it’s a done deal.

587
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,840
What if I buy it from her? How much
do you think Oksana will want for it?

588
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,200
- You wish.
- Why?

589
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:03,200
Our girls are ready to give up their souls
to Oksana for lending them this purse,

590
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,760
and you want her to give it up to you.

591
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:12,840
Lialia has been walking the streets
with this purse for three days,

592
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,880
looking for clients.

593
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:20,560
Thank you for your advice, Ira.
Nice to know.

594
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:21,960
No problem.

595
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,920
You haven’t slept again!

596
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,920
I keep thinking where he could take her,
where he is hiding her.

597
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,440
Bezus swears they couldn’t have left Kiev.

598
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,040
We have turned the city upside down.

599
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,680
Not a trace of them, Nazar, or Rodzievich.

600
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,680
Here. This has been just delivered
from Chernigov.

601
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:55,160
Even though we have barely met in person,
I took the liberty of writing to you,

602
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,320
because I believe the bond of wedlock
to be holy and unbreakable,

603
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:03,120
and God’s will that make a man
and a wife one - unquestionable.

604
00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:09,680
Your spouse, Katerina Stepanovna Zhadan,
is at present at the monastery,

605
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,400
whose Mother Superior I am.

606
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:17,960
Where are you going?

607
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,320
To the monastery!
