that the Turks had been planning

882
00:50:21,591 --> 00:50:24,296
You think you're
fucking invisible?
883
00:50:31,468 --> 00:50:33,735
Potemkin has finished him off.
884
00:50:33,804 --> 00:50:35,274
Ha-ha!
885
00:50:36,506 --> 00:50:38,168
He's riding back
to St. Petersburg
886
00:50:38,237 --> 00:50:41,042
with Pugachev in a cage
like the wild beast that he is.
887
00:50:41,111 --> 00:50:43,778
Major General Potemkin deserves
our thanks, Your Majesty.
888
00:50:43,847 --> 00:50:46,348
I'm not usually in favor
of triumphal marches;
889
00:50:46,417 --> 00:50:48,783
it smacks too much of the last
days of the Roman Empire,
890
00:50:48,852 --> 00:50:52,487
but I think
I will ride out to meet him.
891
00:50:52,556 --> 00:50:55,224
Is that... wise, Your Majesty?
892
00:50:55,293 --> 00:50:58,159
Why would it not be,
Minister?
893
00:50:58,228 --> 00:51:00,632
You could be in danger,
Your Majesty.
894
00:51:01,698 --> 00:51:03,631
Is the countryside
entirely pacified?
895
00:51:03,700 --> 00:51:06,201
How would you know, Minister?
You hardly ever go there.
896
00:51:06,270 --> 00:51:07,802
Make the arrangements.
897
00:51:07,871 --> 00:51:11,206
I will ride out at the head
of the Preobrazhensky Guard.
898
00:51:11,275 --> 00:51:12,544
PANIN: I...
899
00:51:14,878 --> 00:51:17,847
I do feel that this
is dangerous, Your Majesty.
900
00:51:17,916 --> 00:51:19,618
They need to see me.
901
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,784
Minister.
902
00:51:23,853 --> 00:51:26,789
(GASPS) Oh, I do have
one piece of advice, however,
903
00:51:26,858 --> 00:51:28,089
I would like from you.
904
00:51:28,158 --> 00:51:29,757
I want it to be
thoroughly researched
905
00:51:29,826 --> 00:51:31,892
and I would like
comprehensive answers
906
00:51:31,961 --> 00:51:34,799
in the best traditions
of the Russian Civil Service.
907
00:51:41,767 --> 00:51:43,142
What am I going to wear?
908
00:51:45,109 --> 00:51:47,846
(SQUEALS)
What am I going to wear?
909
00:51:51,549 --> 00:51:54,549
-(CROWD YELLING)
-PEASANT: Pugachev!
910
00:51:54,618 --> 00:51:57,219
PUGACHEV: God sees
all your suffering, my children.
911
00:51:57,288 --> 00:51:58,590
He sees everything.
912
00:51:59,885 --> 00:52:01,826
Through my eyes, he sees!
913
00:52:03,027 --> 00:52:04,359
Through my eyes.
914
00:52:04,428 --> 00:52:06,261
(YELLING CONTINUES)
915
00:52:06,330 --> 00:52:07,863
The whore, Catherine...
916
00:52:07,932 --> 00:52:10,866
will try and fuck my corpse!
917
00:52:10,935 --> 00:52:12,704
PEASANT: Pugachev!
918
00:52:14,706 --> 00:52:17,809
(CROWD CLAMORING)
919
00:52:55,379 --> 00:52:57,878
We congratulate you
on your service.
920
00:52:57,947 --> 00:53:00,148
-POTEMKIN: Your Majesty.
-SOLDIER: Move back!
921
00:53:00,217 --> 00:53:01,917
-PEASANT: Pugachev!
-SOLDIER: Move!
922
00:53:01,986 --> 00:53:03,218
MAN 1: Catherine.
923
00:53:03,287 --> 00:53:04,719
-MAN: Your Majesty.
-MAN 1: Catherine.
924
00:53:04,788 --> 00:53:06,621
MAN 2: Mother of all Russia.
We are not worthy.
925
00:53:06,690 --> 00:53:08,256
MAN 3: We bow before you,
Your Majesty.
926
00:53:08,325 --> 00:53:09,790
MAN 4: Bless us, Your Majesty.
927
00:53:09,859 --> 00:53:12,427
MAN 5: We bow before you,
Your Majesty.
928
00:53:12,496 --> 00:53:17,093
CROWD: (CHANTING)
Catherine, Catherine, Catherine.
929
00:53:17,162 --> 00:53:21,706
Catherine, Catherine,
Catherine...
930
00:53:25,910 --> 00:53:28,380
(CHANTING CONTINUES)
931
00:53:39,623 --> 00:53:42,594
-(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
-(CHANTING CONTINUES)
932
00:53:44,128 --> 00:53:47,732
(PUGACHEV MUTTERING)
933
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,369
Whore!
934
00:53:56,869 --> 00:53:58,606
(CROWD CLAMORING)
935
00:53:58,675 --> 00:54:01,109
CATHERINE: They want
a public execution.
936
00:54:01,178 --> 00:54:04,914
I've told the hangman
he is not to be disemboweled.
937
00:54:04,983 --> 00:54:06,347
Why do they think cruelty
938
00:54:06,416 --> 00:54:08,720
can wipe out
the memory of cruelty?
939
00:54:10,187 --> 00:54:11,456
POTEMKIN: Hmm.
940
00:54:17,928 --> 00:54:20,329
What you need,
Major General Potemkin,
941
00:54:20,398 --> 00:54:21,800
is a bath.
942
00:54:22,967 --> 00:54:25,404
Mm. Do I?
943
00:54:27,471 --> 00:54:30,309
Mm. Not unpleasantly.
944
00:54:32,376 --> 00:54:34,977
I do not dislike the smell of...
945
00:54:35,046 --> 00:54:37,016
fresh sweat on a man.
946
00:54:41,552 --> 00:54:44,723
(MOANS)
My bath house in ten minutes?
947
00:54:49,922 --> 00:54:51,830
(FOOTSTEPS FADING)
948
00:54:53,732 --> 00:54:55,363
CATHERINE: Come and join me.
949
00:54:55,432 --> 00:54:57,665
But lock the door.
950
00:54:57,734 --> 00:55:00,768
People are inquisitive
in this palace.
951
00:55:00,837 --> 00:55:04,743
And I am the most inquisitive
of all of them. (CHUCKLES)
952
00:55:08,312 --> 00:55:10,515
Please, join me.
953
00:55:35,373 --> 00:55:37,606
No need to wear a towel.
954
00:55:37,675 --> 00:55:40,012
It's wonderfully hot in here.
955
00:55:44,348 --> 00:55:45,713
No, I want to see
956
00:55:45,782 --> 00:55:48,653
if everything they say
about you is true.
957
00:55:54,453 --> 00:55:57,226
POTEMKIN:
I will apologize in advance
958
00:55:57,295 --> 00:56:00,495
for any deficiencies...
959
00:56:00,564 --> 00:56:03,398
-I might have.
-(CATHERINE CHUCKLES)
960
00:56:03,467 --> 00:56:07,940
(KISSING, BREATHING HEAVILY)
961
00:56:38,803 --> 00:56:40,705
I want you not because of...
962
00:56:42,372 --> 00:56:43,808
what you can give me...
963
00:56:46,277 --> 00:56:47,779
or who you are.
964
00:56:50,943 --> 00:56:52,914
Oh, I want you.
965
00:56:52,983 --> 00:56:55,720
I want you.
I want you because...
966
00:56:57,221 --> 00:56:59,082
I love you.
967
00:56:59,151 --> 00:57:01,093
And that will never change.
968
00:57:02,526 --> 00:57:04,059
-Was that a proposal?
-(CATHERINE MOANS)
969
00:57:04,128 --> 00:57:06,527
-Are you proposing?
-(LAUGHS) No!
970
00:57:06,596 --> 00:57:07,830
-POTEMKIN: It is!
-(CATHERINE LAUGHS)
971
00:57:07,899 --> 00:57:10,035
POTEMKIN:
It sounds like a proposal.
972
00:57:10,635 --> 00:57:12,137
(BOTH LAUGH)
