Surely you understand

that she's becoming
a young woman.

Yes, of course,
it's not that, but

nobody told me.

What, that children grow?

You need to leave, now.

No, I can't go back.

- I have a wife to consider.
- And a daughter.

We all do what's
necessary to survive

so our loved ones survive.

You once believed all people
should have the opportunity

and freedom to become
whatever they wanted in life.

Everyone has dreams, Mishka.

Only children believe
them after they wake up.

We should all be silent.

Russian red!

You won't ever see
your friend again.

This hotel is a dangerous place.

It's only going to get
worse. Especially for you.

There's no sign of him.

Then we wait.

Moscow calling.

Dear Comrades and Friends,

the heart has ceased
to beat of Lenin's

great comrade-in-arms
and successor,

Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin.

Stop.

I said stop!

To our glorious leader...

Stalin.

- Stalin.
- Stalin.

- When was Sofia due to finish?
- Ten o'clock.

I expected them back
over an hour ago.

Audrius, why don't we make

one of our fabulous cocktails

- to pass the time?
- Yeah.

The Golden Rod would seem the
obvious choice for the occasion.

Well, thank you, Richard,

but I-I really don't
think that's very wise.

Yes, particularly as that
was your wife on the phone,

wondering when you'd
return to the embassy.

- Hmm.
- Don't let me keep you, Richard.

- And give my love to Yvette.
- Alexander.

Oh.

Well, what happened?

Oh, it-it was the
Mozart, wasn't it?

You should've followed
your instincts

- and gone with the Rachmaninoff.
- I won.

- You won?
- Yes.

You won? She won!

Oh, I knew it! I never
doubted you for a second.

If only you could
have heard it, Sasha.

And the applause!

It shook the dust
from the chandeliers.

Oh, my wonderful,
brilliant Sofia.

I wish I could have
been there to see it.

I wish you could, too.

Notre champion! Emile has
prepared your favorite.

A Dobos torte with
chocolate cream.

We were going to wait
to see if you won,

but Emile was so sure,

just started baking anyway.

This is all too much.
Thank you, everyone.

She hasn't told you
the best bit yet.

What's this?

After the competition,
they announced the winner

will join the Conservatory's
tour of Europe.

She's going to Paris,
Prague and ending in Minsk.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

Sofia!

What's the problem?

It's just Beethoven.

Stalin banned the blues and
he's gone, last I checked.

Yes!

Brava!

Hmm.

I should think

beets would accompany the
pork just as well as apples.

And half the cost.

Y-You would think that.

Have the menus changed.

There will be a private dinner
for 20 people in suite 417,

the Saturday after next.

Party business.

And the Novikovs

will be in the restaurant
later this week.

Give them a bottle of
Domaine de la Roman-Cont

on the house, please.

You mean Domaine de
la Romanée-Conti?

Inform them that it comes at
the behest of the manager.

Go now.

You, stay.

Shut the door.

It's come to my attention

there was a playing
of cosmopolitan music

in the Shalyapin
bar three nights ago

by your daughter, Sofia Rostova.

I wasn't aware the works of
Beethoven had been banned.

Beethoven?

Yes, "Fur Elise" to be precise.

So the person who
told me is lying?

No, no, I-I assume they maybe
don't have a musical ear.

I won't have the playing

of degenerate music in my hotel.

I'll be sure to let Sofia know.

See that you do.

Good lord, Richard, those
look a little volatile.

I persuaded Audrius to make it
with every spirit in the bar,

and challenged this lot

to see how many they
could get down them.

Do you think that's wise?

I can barely hear myself think.

Neither can anyone else.

That is the point.

I am going to say some things.

Listen.

Keep smiling.

Since the war, relations
between our two countries

may not have been
especially chummy,

but they have been predictable.

Now Stalin is dead,

it is not entirely clear
to us who is in charge.

And by us, you mean?

The United States of America.

Good lord, Richard.

All these years
we've been friends...

And you didn't know
I was an American?

I didn't know that
you were a-a spy...

Don't be so dramatic. I am

an observant conversationalist.

Nothing more.

Now, it could be Russia's doors

are about to be flung
open to the world,

or they could be slammed shut
and bolted from the inside.

Well, we must hope
for the former.

Absolutely.

But prepare for the latter.

What exactly is it
you want from me?

A meeting of the
highest-ranking Soviet leaders

will be held in this
hotel next week.

We understand an important
announcement is to be made.

Oh, no, Richard, please.

We would like you to be there
to tell us what it's about.

I will not spy on my country.

Sofia will never have
the life she deserves

in this country.

We were just talking about
Russia throwing its doors open.

If it happens.

But change is slow.

Too slow for her.

Help me, and I will see to
it that Sofia's trip to Paris

is nothing more than
a stopover to America

and a whole new life.

I'll see you around.

It's all

all white.

Oh, my orchard.

After the dark autumns
and cold winters,

you are young again,

full of happiness,

the angels of heaven
haven't left you.

Oh, if I could only
take my heavy burden

off my breast and shoulders,
if I could forget my past.

Yes, and they'll sell this
orchard to pay off debts.

Strange as it seems.

Look.

There's my dead mother
going in the orchard.

Dressed in white.

- That's she.
- Where?

Oh.

- Learn them on your own.
- I'm sorry.

It's just impossible
to take you seriously.

Something the matter?

I suppose Richard
Vanderwhile gave you this.

Your daughter, actually.

What the devil is
a "convenience"?

Dishwashing machines,
toasters, televisions,

clothes-washing machines,
vacuum cleaners.

I somehow struggle to imagine
you wielding a vacuum cleaner.

And what on earth is an
automatic garage door?

It is a garage door

that opens and closes
itself on your behalf.

What do you think of that?

I think, if I were
a garage door,

I would rather long
for the old days.

Would you like to
live in America?

Everyone wishes they
could live in America.

Well, that's certainly
not true of me.

Because you are fatally Russian,

you can't see past the
love of your country.

I'd love to go there.

They may not have much

in the way of theater
or culture, but

they're free to play
whatever music they choose.

Say what they think.
Go where they want.

And let's not forget
the conveniences.

I'll tell you what's convenient.

Is to sleep until midday

and have someone bring you
your breakfast on a tray.

To cancel a meeting
at the last minute.

To stay clear of marriage
in your youth and

to put off having
children altogether.

These are some of the
greatest conveniences.

And there was a time
when I had them all.

But, at the end of the day,

it's the inconveniences that
have mattered the most to me.

Only because you've been locked
up in the most convenient place.

You didn't have to endure
what the rest of Russia did.

Yes?

He's here with me now.

All right, all right, all right.

Mishka? Mishka. It's Alexander.

Mishka, look at me. Look at me.

Mishka.

It's me.

Help me get him inside.

We've got to get
him warm. Come on.

Get him out of
this cold. Come on.

He's still sleeping.

The soles of his
boots are all thin.

He must've walked
hundreds of miles.

From where?

Which prison camp was he in?

Oh, he didn't say.
He's barely speaking.

Are you thinking
about your parents?

Trying not to. I
should go to rehearsal.

Would you rather
stay at home today?

I'd rather keep busy.

Sofia.

Manager Leplevsky
spoke to me yesterday

- about the music you were...
- It was Beethoven, Papa.

My dear friend.

How long have I been asleep?

Last night and all of today.

I tried to get you to
sleep on the chair,

but you preferred the floor.

It's what I'm used to.

I have some fruit and...

I lost my manners.

What little I had.

Where have you been?

I arrived by a train
from Yavas last night.

We traveled together.

Wandering.

Lost.

We? Who is that?
Your-your comrades?

Comrades?

There are no comrades.

My fellow prisoners.

I'm sorry.

I have nowhere else to go.

Oh, of course.

Of course.

Let me get you some water.

Here.

It's all right.

You're all right.

Yes.

The Novikovs won't
even look at us.

He wants my job.

I'd be no different.

We appear strong,

then we are strong.

Mr. and Mrs. Glebnikov,
it's been some time.

If you'd follow me, I've saved
you the best table in the house.

If you would like a drink.

Have you anything
from east Georgia?

Bottle of Rkatsiteli maybe.

- I'd have to check our cellar.
- Then do so.

I'll be back.

Don't let them see your fear.

I've had enough
practice over the years.

Guests are not normally
permitted down here.

Gladly make an exception,
of course, for you.

The leadership of the country

will be meeting here
at the hotel next week.

I'd like to know who attends
and what's discussed.

I'm not sure how I can help.

There are things I've done for
you in the past, for Sofia.

And I'm eager to
show my gratitude.

Then show it.

Being locked up here,

I see very little.

I read the newspapers,
of course, but

it's impossible to truly get
an idea of what's happening

in this country of ours.

And what it will
become without Stalin.

My immediate superiors
have already been

excised.

If Khrushchev takes control,

everyone associated with the old
order will meet the same fate.

If it's Malenkov,
well, he's more likely

to keep things as they are.

And there is a chance
for me and Maria.

I'll do what I can.

Thank you.

That'll do nicely.

What was it like?

How long were you there?

My parents were sent to Siberia.

When they opened the gulags, I
did hope they might come back.

No one comes back.

Parts of them do.

I'm sorry.

Oh.

Sofia,

you should get yourself to bed.

So you're fresh for
tomorrow. It's getting late.

Good night, Papa.

Good night, Sofia.

Good night, Uncle Mishka.

I brought you something
from the kitchen, Mishka.

It was the people.
We burned it down.

What did you burn down?

Moscow. Russia.

Napoleon took the city,

and our people burned it down.

Uh, are you talking about 1812?

Right in front of his
eyes. Can you imagine?

You are safe here,
you know, with me.

The two of us can
grow old together.

We can talk late into the night

and tell lies about
our younger years.

Sounds a wonderful dream.

I wanted to tell you. Uh...

What did you want to tell me?

It's gone.

I'm going to look
after you, Mishka.

You're going to get better.

We'll get you some new clothes.

You can start all over again.

- Tomorrow.
- There is no tomorrow.

Not for me.

Let me introduce you to
Mikhail Fyodorovich Mindich.

The best of men and
my oldest friend.

I've heard so many
wonderful things about you.

A pleasure, Mikhail.

Oh! Nikolai Petrov,

as I live and breathe!

"Prince Nikolai
Petrov" to you.

Nina.

What I need is for someone
to watch over Sofia

while I get settled.

I found a way to escape.

It won't bring
her back, Sasha.

Sofia!

Oh.

Snow filled the
air of the piazza.

Only

it wasn't snow. It was... ash

and embers from the city, which
was burning to the ground.

Mishka had been speaking to me
about the burning of Moscow.

He gave every part of
himself to this country.

And it destroyed him.

And Nina, too.

That

precious little girl.

That brilliant, bright light,

carelessly snuffed out.

I won't accept that that
could happen to Sofia.

I can't allow it
to happen to her.

However heartbreaking
it might be,

- we have to...
- We have to let her go.

Richard came to my dressing
room after the play.

Then you understand
why we cannot

associate with one
another anymore.

"Associate"?

Is that what we've been
doing all this time?

Oh, Anna, don't make this any
harder than it already is.

- If I get caught...
- Which you will be.

You have very little
faith in my abilities.

It has nothing to do
with your abilities.

When Sofia doesn't
come back from Paris,

they'll know the
part you played.

They'll know where to find you.

So you should stay as far
away as possible from me.

They'll kill you.

After they torture you first.

The last thing that I want
is for you to be involved.

Oh, you fool.

I am involved.

I've been involved for 30 years.

I love you.

You

what?

I'm not going to repeat it.

Whatever happens

we face it together.

You don't expect
him to wear that?

I understand your concern,

but my superiors insisted.
Or there's no deal.

No, it's all right, Anna.

How do I get the tapes to you?

Sofia must bring them to Paris

and then deliver them to the
embassy, where I'll be waiting.

When are you leaving?

Tonight.

So your country doesn't have
to face the embarrassment

of having one of your own
locked up, should this go wrong.

My dear Alexander,

this isn't something you
should undertake lightly.

Stalin may be gone, but
be under no illusion

- if you're caught...
- We're well aware

of what the
consequences would be.

Let me show you
how this all works.

This is the most popular
watch in the USSR

and approved by Stalin himself.

The microphone is activated the
moment the wire is pushed in.

Then it'll start recording.

You'll see the
second hand moving.

Pull it out and it stops.

I should just about manage that.

Sofia.

A word in my office.

You'll have noticed the
increased security in the hotel.

We've important guests.

So...

I want to go through the music
that you're going to be playing

in the piazza this evening.

Shut the door.

Prokofiev's Piano
Concerto No. 2.

It was written after he turned
his back on the Revolution.

His music will outlive
the both of us.

There was another girl who
used to stay in this hotel.

Nina Kulikova.

Does the name mean
anything to you?

She's my mother.

Such a pity.

I want you to know that
I did everything I could,

for her.

What do you mean?

I warned her father that
she was in danger of

being led astray.
And to his credit,

he did send her away to a
school to be educated, but

unfortunately,

her corrupt nature

- and moral bankruptcy...
- Stop it.

Meant it was inevitable
that she would rebel.

You don't know the
first thing about her.

I think I know more than you.

I know your parents
were both found guilty

of anti-Soviet corruption
and they were sent

to a camp that they
never came back from.

Why would you tell me that?

Sorry.

Didn't mean to upset you.

What will you do?

Sofia's playing in the
piazza this evening.

I didn't want to arouse
suspicion by changing our plans.

Well, I won't finish till
after midnight. If I...

There's not going to be an "if."

Don't let there be an "if."

They've questioned you.

Tell them you've always been

concerned about my
friendship with Richard.

Don't resist.

Don't get caught.

Good evening, Andrey.

And good evening to you, sir.

I'm one of your waiters
for this evening.

Raise your hands.

Thank you.

Sofia?

- I'm fine.
- You're clearly not.

Tell me what it is.

What do you think?
This place, all of it.

I can't even breathe.

They killed my parents.

I won't do it anymore.

Sofia, not tonight, trust
me. Trust your father.

Whatever it is you're
thinking of doing...

Excuse me.

The music's supposed
to have started by now.

Sofia, apologies
for interrupting

that performance, but
given the audience

that we have this evening,
perhaps something more patriotic

might be in order?

The State Anthem... perhaps?

Comrades, who would
like to hear our Anthem?

Yes.

Unless you have some objection
on political grounds?

Be still, my beating heart.

It's Khrushchev.

I understand now how
you must have felt

after the Revolution.

Will you run?

There's nowhere for
someone like me to go.

He who lives by the
sword, dies by the sword.

Who was that? Shakespeare?

Uh, Gospel of Matthew.

You think I deserve
everything that comes my way?

I hope you are afforded
the fair justice

that you denied so many others.

All those people.

They were somebody's child,

somebody's mother, father.

Someone's friend.

What was it all for?

That's an easy
question to ask now.

Harder at the time.

No matter. It's done.

W-When did he leave?

About an hour ago.

He-he left this.

This is 1913, the
year we graduated.

Where is our purpose now?

Mishka wrote this poem in
the south parlor at Idlehour.

It was in the time when
it was still dangerous

to write poems of
political impatience.

Given his background, we decided

that it should be
published in my name.

The irony is, years later,
when I was due to be executed,

they spared me because they
thought I'd written this poem.

Mm, Mishka,

my dear, dear friend.

When he left, I asked
him where he was going,

but he just said,
"Does it matter?"

It's time to get out
of this madhouse.
