1
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:29,040
-We rented an apartment on Galernaya.
Nikita scolds us for moving frequently,

2
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,800
and Sasha and I are happy about the imminent changes.

3
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,160
-My angel, how are you feeling?
- Much better now.

4
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,040
Just now I felt sleepy.
Hopefully it won't be like this all the time.

5
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,720
-Why didn’t you say?
What are you expecting?

6
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,960
-I wasn't sure.

7
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,360
-My joy,
now everything will be different.

8
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,320
SUBTITLES: E. DOBROVITSKAYA,
V. GRYAZEVA, I. KROKHIN, E. SANKO

9
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,320
-Alexander Sergeevich, here are the books.

10
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,520
Extremely valuable.
-Thank you.

11
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,240
I don't dare you anymore...
- What are you talking about!

12
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,160
This is my joy.
You write about such a great man.

13
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,040
This must be so interesting.
-More than.

14
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:58,000
-Oh!

15
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,640
-Thank you, I'll do it myself.

16
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,320
All the best.
-Sun...

17
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,520
-Sasha, what a wonderful novel
I managed to find it!

18
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,400
Read?
-Balzac?

19
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,000
No more than ten pages.

20
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,760
mannerism, pretentiousness,
false rhetoric.

21
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,480
-What bothers you?

22
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,320
-It's okay, wifey.
Everything is fine.

23
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,280
-Sash, maybe we should go to Moscow
go? Not for long.

24
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,400
I had a dream just now
as if we were having a girl.

25
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,040
And I thought, I need to do those
diamonds that my mother gave me

26
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,040
as a daughter's inheritance.
-Tasha, my angel...

27
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,480
Great idea.

28
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,320
It's high time to get busy
this gift from your mother.

29
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,040
-I'll tell Melania to pack her things.
-Wait!

30
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,480
You shouldn't hit the road
after what happened with the Kochubeys.

31
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:17,200
-But I feel great.
-Tasha, my angel, I insist.

32
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:20,480
Think about the child. Don't bring it
Lord, something will happen on the way,

33
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,640
I won’t forgive myself for that.
I'll go alone.

34
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,680
And you take care of our happiness.

35
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,080
I will write to you every day.

36
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,240
-Move aside!

37
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,680
-My angel, God knows,
how hard it is for me to be separated from you

38
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,040
for more than a minute.
The only thing that consoles me is confidence

39
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,800
in your discretion. I promise
that forced seclusion

40
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,000
will be rewarded with the joy of our meeting
after my successfully resolved cases.

41
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,760
-Oh, and a cunning one!
Off to Moscow yourself, and you stay at home.

42
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:15,080
I shouldn't have let you
he has to go alone.

43
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,800
-We both decided and agreed
write to each other as often as possible.

44
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,720
-Mistress, Mrs. Nesselrode is here to see you.

45
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,520
-Invite me soon.

46
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,480
-Darling, don’t even dare to worry -
in your position.

47
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,040
Yes, and I won’t keep you long.
- Hello, Maria Dmitrievna.

48
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,040
-I have an invitation for you
from the imperial couple.

49
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,520
Opening of the slide.
-Thank you.

50
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,000
-Darling, I hope you understand,
what about such invitations

51
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,560
don't get scattered?

52
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,960
Smart girl.

53
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,600
I beg you, don't see me off.

54
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,360
-Just think,
Maria Nesselrode herself

55
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,040
I brought you an invitation!
Let me see.

56
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,960
Tasha, this is for two people.

57
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,560
Darling, you simply must
take me with you.

58
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,840
-Wait. I don't know myself yet
Shall I go?

59
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,640
-What are you afraid of?
Are you afraid to go without your husband's blessing?

60
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,040
Meanwhile, we need to go out into the world
and make friends.

61
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,600
At least for Pushkin's sake.
You said it yourself.

62
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,280
Tash, just think: ride
on the same hill with the emperor!

63
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:47,920
-Tell me everything, Yegor Ivanovich.
-Pregnancies were difficult

64
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,400
childbirth wears out a woman's body.
The birth of Nicolas only accelerated

65
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,400
process to the extreme.

66
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,880
-Prescribe me medicines, powders -
Anything, I'll accept it.

67
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,160
-Certainly, madam,
but this may not be enough.

68
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,400
You need to abstain
from dancing, horse riding,

69
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,440
any active movements,
and intimacy

70
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,800
also needs to be excluded.

71
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,920
-During pregnancy?

72
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,880
-Forever.

73
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,800
Maybe.

74
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,920
I need to report to the sovereign.
-No need.

75
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,760
Me myself. Go.

76
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,640
-What a devil, look at that!
And pay attention to her, pay attention!

77
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,640
So are you going to sit on the bench?

78
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,520
Went.

79
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,520
And I'll take a risk!

80
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,360
-Darling Natalie, why are you sitting here?
Why don’t you go up the hill?

81
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,040
-I don’t dare yet,
Maria Dmitrievna.

82
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,600
- In vain. It must be very impressive.

83
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,280
-Moscow rolls!

84
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,280
- “I live a rather monotonous life.
I love you, my friend, so much

85
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,480
which I can’t express.
I'm looking forward to

86
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:58,880
when will you be again
come back to me."

87
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,960
-Eh, you live a luscious life:
wife, mother-in-law's diamonds.

88
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,200
Isn't this kind of life boring for you?
-Not at all.

89
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,760
-What is your “Peter”? Masterpiece coming?
-Oh, don't ask.

90
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,880
We've arrived. Will you come in?
-Eh, no.

91
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,440
I avoid these places
I try. I'll breathe, brother.

92
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,120
-Why don’t you skate, Natalya?
Don't like the slide idea?

93
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,040
-What are you doing, Your Majesty?
everyone is having a lot of fun, but I...

94
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,280
I have to admit, I'm a little scared.

95
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,480
-Everything new and unexpected frightens us,
but it’s better to regret what you did,

96
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:58,880
than about what
we never got to know it.

97
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,200
Her Majesty is unwell today,
so I regret

98
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,040
I'm looking for a mate.
Keep me company.

99
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,040
IN GERMAN:
- No matter how I pass by Pushkina,

100
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,600
she's still on the same page.
-Well, she's smart.

101
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:28,920
Knows how to attract attention.

102
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,080
-Goncharova Natalya Ivanovna. Uh-huh...

103
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,160
Earrings with diamonds. So...

104
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,360
Ah, Goncharova! Yes.

105
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,520
Goncharova Natalya Iva... Yeah.

106
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,280
Goncharova Natalya Ivanovna.
Earrings with diamonds.

107
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,440
Oh, that's how it is. Well, I don't have them.

108
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,720
-Excuse me, how not?
-Well, that's it.

109
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,800
This is our order.

110
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,720
The previous payment has not been made.
Here, read it.

111
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,720
-So what?
-No fee paid -

112
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,400
diamonds for sale.

113
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,040
-And who bought them?
-This is what I tell you

114
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,000
I just can’t, sorry.

115
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,240
-These diamonds mean a lot
for my wife.

116
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:37,560
She's in trouble now. And just
I'm sure it will be resolved as a girl.

117
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,520
Diamonds are the daughter's inheritance.
I can't let her down.

118
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,080
-Well, maybe
I will find out something for you, but...

119
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,320
-Name the price!

120
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,760
-Get up, madam.

121
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:04,520
-What wonderful children's fun! Oh!
I feel like a bird in the wind.

122
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,960
- Without a doubt.
-Yes...

123
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:13,880
It's a pity that the Empress is not well,
she would definitely have fun.

124
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,160
And the sovereign, probably
quite upset.

125
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,120
- Do you think so? Take a look.

126
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,360
SCREAMS OF JOY

127
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,000
-Are you scared now, madam?
-Not at all. I would regret it

128
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,560
if I hadn't done this.
-Well, I’m very glad.

129
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,120
And now I don't worry
that distracted you from reading. Who is the author?

130
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,520
-Honoré de Balzac. Did you hear?
-Do you recommend it?

131
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,480
-If I dare. He is incomprehensibly skilled
in depicting characters.

132
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:57,840
People open up to him
like buds.

133
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,720
-Natalie,
Would you like to ride again?

134
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,720
-With pleasure.

135
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,800
-A!
-Natalie!

136
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,640
Are you all right?
- Leg...

137
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,800
I can't move my leg.
-So, we need it immediately

138
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,280
go to the palace.
A doctor will examine you.

139
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,520
-No, it's better to go home.
-No, I insist.

140
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,280
Crew, quickly!

141
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,120
-Carefully. Carefully.

142
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:27,800
-Late? Well, he will deceive!
-Accuracy is politeness only for chefs.

143
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,840
And I added gold.

144
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,000
Did you manage to find out anything?
-Luxurious place.

145
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,720
I wasn't even here.

146
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,560
I wish you good health.
-This is my friend.

147
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,320
With him it is possible.
-Yeah.

148
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,760
-Please, let's get down to business.
Is your buyer ready to sell back?

149
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:02,560
-You see, he is a big collector.
Collects all sorts of valuables

150
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:09,360
with history throughout Russia. So,
this little thing that interests you...

151
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,480
-My wife's diamond earrings.
- Exactly the earrings.

152
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,000
In his opinion,
they are very valuable.

153
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:23,920
Not with stones, no, no, with its history.
And that's why he wants for them

154
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,800
twenty thousand.

155
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,520
-How many?
-Twenty.

156
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:43,160
I guess he doesn't intend to wait long.

157
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,640
I have the honor.

158
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,200
Farewell.

159
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,680
-Twenty thousand? However!
-To hell with everything: both diamonds and Petra!

160
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,720
-Well, what does “Peter” have to do with it?
-At that.

161
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,080
Not a single line goes
thoughts in different directions.

162
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,200
He ran away from his pregnant wife here,
to Moscow.

163
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,960
I thought I’d at least work here, but no.
Nesselrode gave me books to take with me,

164
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,400
and I didn’t even take it up.

165
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,640
-You should wait for inspiration.

166
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,960
-Inspiration is the ability to bring
yourself into working condition.

167
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,120
And I'm drowning in the mire.

168
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,160
-Don’t strain your leg too much.

169
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,720
Today I would completely
advised you not to go,

170
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,640
otherwise there may be
undesirable consequences.

171
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,560
-Sit.
-Your Majesty,

172
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,680
Mrs. Pushkina's injury
quite unpleasant

173
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,640
but it will get better quickly.
I would recommend bed rest,

174
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,400
until the swelling goes down.

175
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,240
-Your Majesty,
let me go home.

176
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,280
-The doctor recommended rest.
At least today.

177
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,120
-I'll really be better off at home.
Alexander Sergeevich the day before

178
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,480
asked for his departure to nowhere
not to leave, but I disobeyed.

179
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,640
-Alexander Sergeevich... How is he?
You love him.

180
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,800
-I love.

181
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,760
Of course, I love you with all my heart.
He really can be hot-tempered beyond measure,

182
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,880
but because he loves his calling
and my soul is sick.

183
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,200
-It’s so good that you understand him,
trusting...

184
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:48,360
You trust each other. What about the light?
How does St. Petersburg receive you?

185
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,480
-Your Majesty, please
forgive, but, be it my will,

186
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,320
I would completely leave St. Petersburg.
For me, light is so destructive

187
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,040
for Alexander Sergeevich,
but he can’t live without St. Petersburg,

188
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:06,400
and therefore... it means
and I need to be here.

189
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,040
- That’s how it is, our female lot.

190
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,640
-Your Majesty,
please let me go home.

191
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,240
-The doctor spoke
about undesirable consequences,

192
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,160
I can't let you go.
-I actually feel better.

193
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:30,480
The thing is, I'm expecting a baby,
your majesty.

194
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,400
-My dear, I congratulate you.

195
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,920
But you could...

196
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:45,240
Let's talk like this:
I will order my carriage to be brought to you.

197
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,280
-Thank you for your concern,
your majesty.

198
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,120
Dear Sasha, I beg you
don't worry too much

199
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,320
about my health. Bodily suffering
much easier to carry

200
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,400
than mental suffering,
who in your absence

201
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,920
torment me more and more. From this
there is only one remedy for pain -

202
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,680
your speedy return.

203
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,760
-Gentlemen, the other day he bet
what will win...

204
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,360
-Mr. Pushkin, Pavel Voinovich,
let me testify to you

205
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,880
our respect and gratitude,
что увековечили наш клуб,

206
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,160
offer the best of our cellars.

207
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,720
-Thank you!

208
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,480
-Простите, не будет ли это
с моей стороны наглостью -

209
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,440
просить вас встретиться
с одной нашей гостьей?

210
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,720
I said something wrong,
что вы будете у нас.

211
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,960
She heard you're a gambler
и желала бы сыграть с вами.

212
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,960
-А каким случаем
гостья оказалась в клубе?

213
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,480
-Сего не могу вам сказать.
Намекну только,

214
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:25,560
that her power is in the city
is spreading everywhere.

215
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,440
Just now
not on the sovereign emperor. Please.

216
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,520
-Goodbye resurrection
my moral existence.

217
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,840
-Wait for me.
-Yeah.

218
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,320
-Who is this?

219
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,880
-I was told
you were looking for a meeting with me.

220
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,360
-Pushkin?

221
00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:00,320
Have a seat.
-Thank you.

222
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,000
-Young man,
They say you are reckless beyond measure.

223
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,360
-Was. But I don't play anymore.
Made myself a promise

224
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:20,400
get rid of this bad habit.
-I know what kind of writer you are.

225
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,600
And therefore believe your words
I don't have one.

226
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:30,080
You talk, you don't play.
What if I tell you a secret?

227
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:33,920
Yes, such a secret
that you will win at cards.

228
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,920
Are you sure you won't fall apart?

229
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,000
-There is no such secret,
which will make me break my word.

230
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,000
-There are many things that destroy vows.
For example, need.

231
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,400
After all, you need money, Pushkin.

232
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:09,240
When I lived in Paris
I was friends with the magician Saint Germain.

233
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,400
He told me about three cards.
I lost a lot.

234
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:20,840
So, these three cards
helped me get even

235
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,520
pay creditors.

236
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,320
How do you like this secret?

237
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,680
-Annette, wait, honey.

238
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,480
It was a pleasure to watch
how you had fun on the slide.

239
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,360
-Thank you, it’s nice to hear.
-Not like poor Pushkin.

240
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,320
So clumsy.
-Yes.

241
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,720
But I heard that the Empress,
after talking with young Pushkina,

242
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,160
I thought she was extremely cute.
And he even wants to ask Bryullov

243
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,200
paint her portrait.

244
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,280
-Ladies, do you know each other?
with Alexander Pavlovich Bryullov?

245
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:15,320
-Familiar with your work.

246
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,080
-Your work is amazing.
-Thank you.

247
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,520
-Mr. Bryullov
finishes my portrait

248
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,200
but I will highly recommend
All ladies should order one for themselves.

249
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,960
-Let me be the first,
your majesty.

250
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:35,920
-Well, Alexander Pavlovich,
the next portrait will be for Annette.

251
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,320
-I don't understand
Why are there no letters from him?

252
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,200
He wrote every day.
What happened?

253
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,080
-Tash, I beg you. Bad news
always come ahead of everyone else.

254
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,080
Well, your Pushkin is with his friends,
in a pub somewhere.

255
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,480
-From the master?
-No, madam.

256
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,200
-From the empress?

257
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,040
-Invitation to tea
with the empress and her ladies-in-waiting.

258
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:25,440
-God, what luck!
-I guess I shouldn't go.

259
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,480
- Well, no, honey. You neglected
her request to stay in the palace,

260
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,760
and now you want to refuse
an invitation to tea?

261
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,600
You do this not only to your husband
in the world you can't help,

262
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,640
and even worse reputation
you will do it for the whole family.

263
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,000
I'm a bastard
I can't get into the world.

264
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,360
And even my father’s fortune
and position in society do not help,

265
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,040
and everything just falls into your hands.
Think about it!

266
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,720
-So what did the old woman want from you?
- I didn’t understand anything myself.

267
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,680
But very curious.

268
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,320
-Isn’t this your former rival?
that he was courting your wife?

269
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,640
-He's the one.

270
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:16,320
God, what happened to him?

271
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,720
- Mister Pushkin!

272
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,760
The man who ruined my life.
-But with this, as I see it,

273
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,120
you can handle it yourself.
-Are you laughing?

274
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,880
Meanwhile, if it weren't for you,
I might be married and happy,

275
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,640
and was not humiliated by such requests.
Borrow me some money, will you?

276
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,480
I will win back, I will give everything.
-I would be glad, but there’s nothing to do.

277
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:45,880
-Then maybe you?
Well, help the poor prince.

278
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:52,520
-I'll lend you money.
But we have a deal: we split the winnings in half.

279
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:01,400
-Sasha, he lost to smithereens.
Clearly, fortune is not on his side.

280
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,040
-And one more thing: I’ll say it myself,
which card should you bet on?

281
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:09,160
-He's crazy!

282
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,760
-We place a bet.

283
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,440
Let's check it out.

284
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:33,000
-Troika won.

285
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,720
-Pushkin, where does such confidence come from?
Which card should I bet on?

286
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,600
-Fortune is in my country.
-Champagne!

287
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,040
-Thank you,
Alexander Sergeevich.

288
00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:01,880
-Natalie, how do you like winters in St. Petersburg?
Very different from those

289
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,120
what did you have in Polotnyany?
-I didn’t notice much of a difference.

290
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,240
except for entertainment
there are more in the capital.

291
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,800
-I'm glad you liked the slide
everyone from young to old.

292
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,480
Natalie, how is your leg?
-Thank you, Your Majesty,

293
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,040
much better.

294
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,160
Alexander Bryullov,
Your Imperial Majesty.

295
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:36,840
-Ladies. Alexandra Fedorovna.
Your Majesty's portrait is finished.

296
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,560
- Amazing work,
Mr. Bryullov. So graceful.

297
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,320
-Thank you, Your Majesty.

298
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,480
-Alexander Pavlovich,
I think the next portrait

299
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,360
must be for Mrs. Pushkina.

300
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,160
-With great pleasure.

301
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,800
-Your Majesty,
but, I remember, there was an agreement,

302
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,480
that the next portrait will be mine.
-Annette, honey, I'm sorry, I forgot.

303
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,240
However, fair
will give way to Natalie's turn.

304
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,000
Her husband is away, and the portrait will be
a wonderful gift for his return.

305
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,800
- Of course,
Your Imperial Majesty.

306
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,520
You are absolutely right.

307
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,480
Natalya Nikolaevna!
-Yes?

308
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,120
-You think I didn’t notice?
what joy did you experience,

309
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,080
when did they push me back in line?

310
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,520
-What are you talking about, Anna Alekseevna!
My joy is incomparable

311
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,320
doesn't go with yours!
-What do you want to say?

312
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,960
-Just now, on the hill.
You were happy when I fell.

313
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,440
And it seemed to me
or was it you who stood behind me

314
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,040
before I was pushed?

315
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,440
- Natalya Nikolaevna,
I'm sure he'll be very happy

316
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,040
almost lost inheritance.
Will you tell her?

317
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,520
-Perhaps.

318
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,680
-What are you doing?
Don't you really want to leave me?

319
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,440
Am I dearer to you than your beloved wife?
- Come on.

320
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,280
I'm thinking about the idea.
-Inspiration has returned,

321
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,400
and sharpen the feathers again?
-Maybe it’s not a secret at all,

322
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,760
what about coincidence? We should check it out.
-What are you muttering there?

323
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,120
- Yes, it doesn’t matter.

324
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,840
-Sash, you are starting to worry me.
- Pasha, believe me,

325
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,760
I saw the game myself just now
with Prince Alexander.

326
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,760
Please sit at the table. I need
understand whether this is a coincidence or not.

327
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:31,360
You know, I swore off.
-Okay, only for three bets.

328
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,440
ANXIOUS MUSIC

-Ace won.
-Oh-oh!

330
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,200
- Pash, give me more.
-Sashka, we agreed

331
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,320
for three bets. Let's go.
It's better to party before you leave.

332
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,960
Tanya is probably already tired of waiting.

333
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,480
-Your will.

334
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,600
-Thank you for the game.

335
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:28,920
-Darling, good morning.

336
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,480
-Mein Liebe.

337
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,880
Pushkina will arrive soon,
I would like to meet her.

338
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,920
-Pushkin? Now?
-She insisted that Bryullov draw her.

339
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,560
Invited me to pose here
to the palace.

340
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,560
I think it will be
a wonderful gift for her husband.

341
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,600
She loves him so much.
-You're absolutely right.

342
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,120
-Yesterday we didn’t want to go out anywhere.
Today the dress is new, in fashion,

343
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,360
you are shining all over.
-And I understand, Melania,

344
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,840
The devil is not as scary as he is painted.
The Empress was so nice to me.

345
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,600
-It's clear.
It's a young business, we need to go out into the world.

346
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,800
Just what will the master say?

347
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,960
-But he won’t say anything.
I'm trying for him.

348
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,680
I'm preparing a gift for him.

349
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:33,800
The Empress asked the artist
Bryullov to paint my portrait.

350
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:41,640
-A painting is, of course, a memorable thing,
But you’re not trying for just one husband.

351
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,360
It’s also gratifying for you, isn’t it?

352
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,600
- Natalya Nikolaevna,
you look great.

353
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,160
The portrait should turn out
amazing.

354
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,120
-Thank you,
Your Imperial Majesty.

355
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,360
-Unusually expressive eyes.
Mr. Bryullov, I hope

356
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,080
you will be able to convey in the picture
the same color as the original.

357
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,920
- Natalya Nikolaevna,
my dear, raise your eyes.

358
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,680
-Sash, Sash...

359
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:35,760
I am, of course, overjoyed
that you are in no hurry to go to St. Petersburg,

360
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,520
but I'm afraid I'm already
need to get some sleep.

361
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,240
-It will take care of your sides.

362
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:49,400
What's at home? Calm, quiet,
my wife is waiting for me, submissive.

363
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,640
Inspiration struck.

364
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:58,200
I can't leave.
We need to fully verify the secret.

365
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,280
-Again about cards! Mustachioed old woman
You were completely fascinated.

366
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,920
-Not at all. But, you must admit,
Was he able to buy back Tasha’s diamonds?

367
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:12,200
Everything for his wife.
-Oh, not for my wife's sake

368
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,280
you please your demons.
But you should be afraid of the Queen of Spades.

369
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,480
-It doesn’t suit me
I'll let you be afraid, Tanya.

370
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:20,800
-For the secret!

371
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:29,560
Go.

372
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,320
From Olenina to you.

373
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:38,360

We really liked her.

You'll scold her
It's no good to take such risks.

And now the artist Bryullov paints it.
God, how he is in love with her!

Pushed everyone back in line

I read it and am very grateful.
My literary world is full

-Have you not noticed?

416
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,560
in his behavior
anything unusual?

417
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,000
-Unusual?
-Maybe

418
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,720
he said something inappropriate
about our emperor

419
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,920
or about Peter the Great.
-No, Your Excellency,

420
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,040
I didn't notice anything like that.
Mister Pushkin

421
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,720
doesn't write anything at all.
-Didn't understand.

422
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,600
-I saw his drafts. There's only
just drawings and blank pages.

423
00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:40,360
Mister Pushkin did not write a word,
While I was in the archives.

424
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,280
-Wonderful.

I miss you so much!

Bryullov?
-So we recognize it?

428
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,440
We were in a hurry to be on time
for your arrival. Like?

429
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,640
-Fell in love with him?

430
00:41:45,240 --> 00:41:47,480
-To whom?
Where did you get the idea?

431
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,520
Sasha, what's wrong with you?
Bryullov is happily married.

432
00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:54,480
-That's why he started writing
you bypassing others. Well, well.

433
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,960
And how many sessions
did you make him happy?

434
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,120
-Eight. Sasha, what are you talking about?

435
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,920
-Fortunately, there were people around,
which you can trust.

436
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,880
Thank you Olenina for letting me know.
me, what are you doing here,

437
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,480
while I, a naive fool,
I believe your letters.

438
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,280
Would you like to tell me about the slide?
-About the slide?

439
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,360
-How you almost threw it off.
-Sasha, you were so angry because of the diamonds,

440
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,120
I didn’t want to, I was afraid to disturb.

441
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:32,520
-A lie is the same thing as betrayal.
What a fool I am

442
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,200
that I trusted you!

443
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,360
And forget about diamonds.
They are no longer there.

444
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,160
No diamonds, no money.
Nothing.

445
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,920
Lost. Like this. But honestly.

446
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,200
But I'm not sorry.
But the books...

447
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,680
- Master, I found a carriage.
I would like the address.

448
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,600
-Sasha, where are you going?
-Where your eyes look!

449
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:03,200
-Nikita, cab driver!
-Ah... I’m listening.

450
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,400
-Melania!

451
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,160
Dress!

452
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,440
-Outrageous. I don't know anymore
what punishment should he come up with for

453
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,600
that he lost at cards
priceless books.

454
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,600
Do you think you can refuse him?
access to the archive?

455
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:25,040
-Unfortunately, Emperor
took the loss very calmly

456
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,320
Pushkin. Your ban may be
misinterpreted.

457
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,120
-But you can’t let it get away with it.
-It is forbidden.

458
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,440
But there must be a reason
more convincing.

459
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,280
What attracted you
Is this your focus?

460
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:46,960
-How - what? This is the tree of poison.
What does he mean by this tree?

461
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,600
And this poem
riddled with symbols.

462
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,120
I'm sure he wants us back
to the time of the Senate.

463
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,600
Here's a more convincing reason for you.

464
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,680
LIGHT MUSIC, VOICES

465
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,400
-Here!
-Thank you. Vodka!

466
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,600
-Pushkin! Is that you?
The eulogist of the state

467
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,840
all slanderers of Russia
reproached in his poems.

468
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,080
-At your service, Pyotr Andreevich.
You hinted in the magazine

469
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,840
what with these verses
I had the intention of currying favor.

470
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,600
I guess you're disappointed.

471
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:47,840
It's mutual.

472
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,160
Betrayal applies
to the kind of troubles you think about,

473
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:01,280
that they happen to everyone,
just not with you.

474
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,960
Until in your own back
you won't find the knife.

475
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:12,800
However, you can't trust anyone -
not to my wife, not to my friend, not to myself.

476
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:17,240
CALM MUSIC

477
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:38,200
-Mrs. Olenina, explain,
by what right are you transferring?

478
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,280
empty gossip to my husband?
-Do you think gossip forced

479
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,000
your husband to lose?
Why are you looking like that?

480
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,680
The whole of St. Petersburg already knows
your husband is a player.

481
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,160
He will continue to play
drink a lot and love other women.

482
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,960
And if you didn't know this,
my condolences to you.

483
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,880
DRAMATIC MUSIC

484
00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:22,920
-Sasha, I figured out how to return it to us
location of society.

485
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,880
Alexander Sergeevich and I
We were planning to have a reception.

486
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,320
-I accept the invitation.

487
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,040
-Won't you publish it?
- Of course, I will publish it.

488
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,800
-Amazing. But you can
Should I give you money today?

489
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,080
-What happened?

490
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:34,520
- Not a word to the lady.

491
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,480
-Natalya Nikolaevna, everyone knows
that the Pushkins are almost ruined.

492
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,560
-Money, brother, is none of your business.
The creator must create.

493
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,920
-If only everything were that simple.
I can't find money -

494
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,600
I'll have to go to the village.

495
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:52,320
-But somehow I want to live in the wilderness.
-Shall we up the ante?

496
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,320
-Well, of course.

497
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,200
-It’s because of this addressee every time
you are angry with these letters,

498
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,600
you are angry.
-Could you meet a bear?

499
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,200
-You don't dare.
The Emperor made a clear promise.

500
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:06,800
-Yes.

501
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,760
- Never mind Benkendorf.
To cross out is not to create.

502
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,360
What does he understand there?

503
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,680
-You are in the wrong position
to order.

504
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,600
-I'm not afraid of the devil himself.
