- Mr. Kulyabko? - Yes, that's me.

The train manager summons you.

Thank you.

UFA. DECEMBER 1918

See?

410 rubles are missing.

Very well, and what about the missing six pounds of gold?

Yes, Mr. Arbatsky, what about the missing gold?

That carriage was guarded by the Czechs, that is you and your soldiers.

The gold reserve is guarded by Russian soldiers.

And they are stealing it.

Well, I hear differently.

Your people are stealing gold.

So dont shift the blame on someone else.

- Its a lie! - Nikolai Petrovich,

count the money in the 5th carriage.

Only in silver coins we have 3 million there.

How much time will you need?

- 24 hours. - 6 hours.

Report by tomorrow morning.

- Are you serious? - Nikolai, let it be 24 hours.

Set down to work.

I am the commander of the golden echelon.

I have special authority, so kindly follow my orders.

Its impossible to count the money in 6 hours.

Very well.

Then in 24 hours the Czech troops will guard the echelon.

Serezha, wait a minute.

Very well. Boy…

The English landed in Sevastopol.

- Keep the change. - Thank you, sir.

From Petersburg?

What can be so funny there?

Its from Omsk, from Alexander.

And what does he write?

He is waiting for me.

Wonderful.

DECEMBER 1918

…Lastly,

no partyism among the ministers.

No Mensheviks, no SRs, neither Left nor Right.

The two ways – reaction and partyism - are ruinous.

And there is the third way – the way of victory through building a powerful army.

Speak up.

General Pepelyaev asks you to come to the telegraph room.

Will you excuse me, gentlemen.

Officers…

- What? - A wire from Arbatsky.

“The Czechs going to seize the gold echelon. We have 24 hours.”

At what station?

- Here. The train is on the siding. - Who do we have nearby?

- General Kappel. - Kappel?

Hes too ambitious, but hell cope.

I think…

- Carry on. - Yes, sir.

Its an open confrontation.

Doesnt sound good.

To general Kappel from Admiral Kolchak.

Type it.

HEADQUARTERS OF GENERAL KAPPELS ARMY. 10 KM FROM UFA

Type it.

“Your Honor…”

May I?

“Well act without entering into a confrontation.

Thank you for your confidence. General Kappel.”

You wanted to see me?

Yes.

RAILROAD STATION IN UFA

Go. Next one.

Major Krovak, it's your turn.

Dont you dare!

Ive the orders from the Supreme Ruler.

- Take away the soldiers. - Take away the soldiers.

Im waiting.

Search him.

Hes clean.

Thank you for your vigilance.

Ill inform the Supreme Ruler.

Now it will be my army to take the train to Omsk.

Here.

OMSK BANK

Move on.

Over there.

Careful.

Good.

- Dismissed. - Dismissed.

You, too.

- So, the coins total worth... - Yes.

It's 556 million 453 thousand 624 roubles and 63 kopecks.

The gold bars worth is 95 million 78 thousand 493 roubles and 5 kopecks.

What would we do without this gold? If we need to win, we need money.

Only death is for free.

Put it down.

The total golden reserve of Russia…

is 651 million 532 thousand 118 roubles 88 kopecks.

Sign it.

OMSK. RESIDENCE OF RUSSIAS SUPREME RULER

‘Napoleon indeed.

Generalissimo of all cognacs.

My weak point, a luxury in our days.

It was a present from General Knox.

At least the allies are good for something.

By the way, the Czech Commander-in-chief is sending his apologies.

And I thank you for the gold echelon. May we meet soon again.

May God help us.

VLADIVOSTOK. 1918

What if Sofya comes?

Did you think about her?

One moment.

Serezha, I must go.

Anyway, you dont think even about yourself.

- Let me know how our son is doing. - Of course.

Here is a new epoch for you.

Total permissiveness.

I was your husband, but not anymore.

- Serezha, please, don't. - All right.

I know how you suffer.

Just don't love me.

- This, I will decide myself.- Hurry up.

Well, the shorter the parting, the less tears.

Excuse me, Anna...

Anna will join you in a minute.

- Kindly get on the train. - I'll be waiting. Im sorry.

Youre shivering. I told you to put on a sweater.

You never listen to me. Well, the shorter the parting…

- But I said that already. - Farewell, Serezha.

One moment.

Serezha, please forgive me, but I love him, I cant live without him.

Our life together would have turned into hell.

Youre a very good person, but I dont love you, it cant be helped.

Ill never come back, Serezha.

It sounds cruel, but you must know the truth.

- Do you forgive me? - It's time.

No, dont forgive me.

Anna!

Tell Alexander that his aide is such a boor.

Anna! I'm sorry, but I wont see you to the train…

THE EASTERN FRONT OF ADMIRAL KOLCHAKS ARMY.

The sheepskin for the Commander.

Alexander, come to the shelter.

Im here not to listen to your reports in the shelter.

The sheepskin.

Belay that.

Wheres the cavalry? They had to attack from the rear.

At last.

Charge! For Russia!

Charge!

Load!

Load!

Turn the guns!

Back off!

Back off!

Direct aim – fire!

Load!

Fire!

Good, Kappel. Very good.

My congratulations upon the successful operation.

Thank you, Admiral, but we owe it to the whole army as well.

Officers of the firing battery asked to award them

with the name ‘Kappels Independent Battery.

Im not a member of the Imperial Family for a military unit to bear my name.

Your Honor, welcome to our city.

Please accept bread-and-salt.

Geese saved Rome like you saved us!

Thank you. What a surprise.

Dear officers and soldiers of the Russian Army!

Ladies and gentlemen!

We already took Perm,

Ekaterinburg,

Elabuga.

Only 100 versts separate us from Denikins army

after which well move to Moscow!

after which well move to Moscow! Hurraaaaay!

Hurraaaaay!

May God help us!

Kolchak!..

SEVASTOPOL

- Madame!- Silly woman!

Bastard!..

Im so sorry. It was my blame.

Dont pick it up. Its dirty.

Its all right, Ill wash it around with manganese solution.

Let me help you.

- Sofya… - Youre mistaken.

Sofya…

I arrived from France yesterday.

I was looking for you.

I knew that you remained in Sevastopol.

I came to finish some business while the British are here.

- And youll stay in Sevastopol? - Sorry, I must go.

Wait.

Did I change so much?

Time has not been good to us.

No, I mean, you are still beautiful.

What a sad compliment.

Of course I recognized you. You havent changed.

Its just there is nothing to talk about.

Wait.

Why are you being so hard on me?

Ah, I know why. Youre now the first lady of Russia…

The first lady? It sounds funny.

Dont you know that Mr. Kolchak…

I dont read papers.

You know something about my husband?

I know that he was made the Supreme Ruler of Russia.

He is in Russia?

Hes in Siberia with his big army, making great progress.

Soon Moscow will greet him with bell chiming.

I read about it in French papers.

God himself has sent you. Thank you for good tidings.

Good bye, my dear sir. May God help you.

Good bye.

I washed the grain, but its still dirty.

- Throw it away. - Oh-oh.

Thanks for everything you did for me and Rostislav.

Ill leave soon. My husband returned to Russia.

- God be praised! - Ill soon leave to Siberia.

But its cold there. How will you…

I wont feel cold.

Thank God.

Im so glad for you, Ill go and tell my husband.

OMSK

- Go! Dont overturn me. - I wont, darling.

Im not going to run away. Your guards wont let me.

I just want to make sure youre here with me.

My unexpected joy, I havent seen you for three long days.

Everything is in your hands.

How beautiful…

- Look, the cross. - Its Epiphany ice hole.

You didnt know?

Its full of holy water.

Alexander!

Alexander!

Hurry up!

Alexander!

Lets do it again before they catch us and put us in the brig.

- Mr. Kappel… - How do you do, Your Honor.

How do you do.

Meet General Kappel. Anna Timiryova.

- Pleased to meet you. - I heard a lot about you.

And where is your sleigh?

Well get it in battle.

You wont cope with the local boys.

Then Ill do without a sleigh.

- Did you have a nice trip? - Yes, sir.

You must intensify the results and advance along the left flank.

Ill return to the front today.

Ill try to come, too.

I was glad to meet you. Good bye.

Godspeed.

Lets go.

- Permission to report? - Yes.

We received a message.

Theyve found your family. Sofya is in Sevastopol.

Thank you.

My family was found.

They are in Sevastopol. Thank God.

Well, Im very glad for you.

What?

Youd better have some privacy. And I will return to my apartment.

Hi. Youve been missing me?

You thought I wont be back?

TRANS-BAIKAL REGION. VILLAGE OF SOSNOVKA

And it will befall every other family

if I find out again you are hiding Bolsheviks.

Listen to what Ataman Semyonov says.

Here is your Bolshevik.

Women are so tenacious.

They turn into ice seven minutes later than men.

Lets check?

- Let go! - Mercy! Mercy!

My lord!

Well get rid of them Red devils by ourselves.

For the love of God, my lord!

Cross myself or may I die!

By ourselves.

Dont kill this innocent soul, its a sin!

For you to remember.

Strip him of all distinctions!

Semyonov has been against the Bolshies since the very beginning.

The Japanese are supporting him and…

Enough of this talk about his love of Russia and his hatred of the Bolsheviks.

I would flag that son of a bitch personally!

- Your hot tea. - Thank you. Dismissed.

SEVASTOPOL

Look at these allies promenading.

Dont pay attention to the rumors.

The more prominent a person, the more rumors.

No need to remind you

that Alexander is, mildly speaking, a passionate person.

Im not going to discuss or judge my husband.

I am his wife, and thats all.

- Madame… - I know that hell always love me.

Even more so, I understand his admirer very well.

But I dont want to see them.

I only know that you cant stay in Sevastopol any longer.

Care to take a seat?

Im more worried about my son.

The more so.

Kamenetsk-Podolsky is full of the Reds.

Their Cheka men will easily trace who is this boy living with his grandmother.

But in Romania our sailors will do everything for Kolchaks family.

You must decide.

In this case, whether you wish it or not, the plan is like this.

Tomorrow my ship is leaving to Romania.

It wont take you long to pack your things.

You are going to steal me?

You may call it in this way.

But I count on your understanding.

Ill send one of my men to Kamenets-Podolsky.

My other faithful men will meet you on the Dniester shore in Hotin.

And after this you may go with your son to Paris, Zanzibar, whatever.

At least I will be honest before Alexander. So?

The words of a real man.

OMSK. THE HEADQUARTERS OF RUSSIAS SUPREME RULER

DECEMBER 1918

Gentlemen,

the Supreme Ruler is unwell and asked me to talk with you on his behalf.

Kindly sit down.

Yes, sir. very well.

Yes, sir.

Soldier, halt.

One moment.

Sir…Where you going?

- Dont you know me? - No.

Im Masha Bochkareva. I have the St. George Cross.

Excuse me, Madame, the government is in session.

You cant come in.

General Yamamoto says its a big pity

that The Supreme Ruler has removed Ataman Semyonov from commandment.

The Supreme Ruler considers the massacre of peaceful population

committed by Ataman Semyonov as inadmissible and criminal.

Admiral is paying pensions to veterans. I want to receive mine.

Then go on record and come as everyone else.

No smoking here. Madame…

General Yamamoto says that cruelty cant be avoided at the war.

He informs you that the Japanese commandment

will continue supporting Ataman Semyonovs activity.

Hi, doggie.

Well?

Semyonov refused to resign.

He is supported by the Japanese

threatening us with the conflict of interests.

Im not surprised.

Im at a loss.

Dont you think its humiliating?

The Commander shouldnt know while he is ill.

No need to fuel emotions.

Weve info a revolt is being prepared.

Duty officer.

How longer?

- Ive been here for one hour already. - His Honor is ill.

Im unwell, too. Let me in.

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

Hey, are you local?

Help me to see the Commander, its very urgent.

- Good afternoon. Let's go. - Good afternoon.

- And what about me? - And who are you?

Im Maria Bochkareva. I came on personal business.

Sorry, you must go on record beforehand.

- What happened with Mr. Kolchak? - He caught cold at the front.

Come in.

Why didnt you inform me?

Only yesterday the doctor diagnosed acute pneumonia.

You may go.

Thank God you came.

Hush.

Ill be here.

- Close ranks, comrades… - Getem from the left.

The machine gun!

A revolt! Bolsheviks storm the prison.

Inform the headquarters.

Four – to the gates, the rest – around the house.

On the double!

Atten-tion!

Charge, comrades!

Hurrah!

Where is the ward?

Go.

- Here you go. - Go!

Gentlemen. Your name?

SR Kasatnikov.

And you?

Social democrat Cherven-Vodali.

You?

Social democrat Popov.

Very well, comrades.

You are free.

I said, go away from here.

Go home, comrades.

Are you deaf or what?

Hurrah, comrades!

- Sorry. - May I?

Come in.

IRKUTSK. JANUARY 1920

Give me the matches, please.

You may go.

How many members of the government were in prison at that time?

How many members of the government were in prison at that time? Twenty two. They waited for the hearings.

Twenty two. They waited for the hearings.

Why were they arrested?

The social revolutionaries had passed a vote

to open the front for the Bolsheviks.

Thus they challenged the incumbent power.

You mean your power?

And my government as well.

Strict subordination to you and your government?

No free thinking? Is that what you had declared?

It cant be otherwise in conditions of war.

OMSK 1918

Hurry up… Put it down! Load!

Attention!

Straighten up. Listen to my command!

Lord, have mercy…

Come, come…

Its all right.

The shooting?

No, you imagined it, Alexander.

Everything is all right…
