Original subtitles

Well?

Not good.

The girl has an acute bronchitis.

You said it wasn't dangerous.

My dear Liubov Vasilyevna,

the girl is very weak.

Her illness is developing rapidly.

I'm afraid it will turn to pneumonia. With her constitution...

Don't tell me what it will end up with.

I need her healthy and rosy-colored.

Aren't there any treatments?

Ask for ten glasses

and goose fat.

Ma'am... I can't do it properly.

No, really,

you should have called Orysia back.

You will learn, Pavlina.

Orysia...

She won’t want to be with me now.

Pavlina...

Yes?

Stay with me...

for a while.

All right.

What's wrong, ma'am?

I'm scared, Pavlina.

What are you scared of?

Look at this deadbolt on your door.

People. I'm afraid of people.

But not of me.

You're free.

They aren't.

I see.

You don't have to be afraid of anyone.

Nobody is going to hurt you.

Forget the harvest festival. It was Yashka's problem, not yours.

Is it going to leave bruises?

We have tried everything else.

All right, go on.

Our people are good

and kind.

Don't think ill about Orysia.

She is so upset!

You should make peace with Grigoriy Petrovich, too.

It's always best to have peace in the family.

I wish he...

wasn't away all the time.

It's women's fate: stay at home and wait.

He comes home, and what does he find here? Tears?

He doesn't need it.

It has to be joy!

It will be easier when the child is born.

Yes.

Children's laugh means happiness in the house.

Your baby will be born soon.

I can't wait to hold it in my hands.

I never had children of my own,

so I at least will raise yours if you let me.

I will.

All right, ma'am.

Let's tuck you in.

Good night.

Go, Mr. Officer.

We're closed.

TEN DAYS LATER

Cough for me.

Let me see your throat.

Liubov Vasilyevna, your girl was born under a lucky star.

Now she only needs to take badger's fat, and she'll recover.

In ten days, she'll be as good as new.

Thank God. You've virtually raised her from the dead.

Thank you.

Don't thank me, thank Madame for taking care of you.

Thank you.

You'll thank me later.

How long before these awful bruises disappear?

Bruises?

In two weeks they should clear off.

If there is no relapse, of course.

Let's go to the study, my dear friend. Let's settle the account.

Excuse me.

Where is Vasilina?

Later.

Later. Let's go.

NEZHIN

Grigoriy Petrovich, I don't understand.

Verbitskaya...

Now she's dead, now she's runaway, now she's alive.

Now she's on the run again.

She's a smart one.

She thought nobody will look for her after the fire.

But I know that she is alive, and she has escaped.

I see...

-The prison is waiting for her. -I have a request for you...

Please take the search under your personal control.

We'll find her. We always do.

The photograph...

It will help find her.

Just return it to me later.

It must be expensive.

Don't worry.

I'll send messages to Kiev,

Kharkov, Yekaterinoslav...

-Where else? -Maybe Poltava.

This is for your mail expenses.

We'll find her.

Look, she's back on her feet.

She's tough.

What are you doing in the hall? The floor is cold.

I can't find Vasilina.

Do you know where she is?

Go away.

Vasilina, it's me.

Katia.

Are you better?

Thank you.

If not for you... Thank you.

I am, you see...

I know.

No. Don't touch me.

You'll catch this thing.

Vasia,

don't cry.

It can be treated.

Yes.

Of course it can.

Do you know what it costs?

When the doctor told me...

I wish he killed me right there and then. I'll die anyway.

How much do you need?

300 rubles.

Oh God...

Our master sold me to Suslov for 300 rubles.

And now again

my life costs 300 rubles.

Yes.

It's a lot.

A lot.

But we'll think of something.

You're young and beautiful. You can't just die like this.

You'll get better.

Idiot!

You're an idiot! An educated fool.

Nobody is going to treat me.

Beautiful?

My face will be covered with blue spots

and then with ulcers, and then my nose will fall off. Why?

Because I'll rot alive!

Do you hear?

Don't come here again.

You!

You're up.

Good.

I feel better, thanks to you.

That's right. My care, my money, my medicine.

The bed also costs something.

Every bed here brings me money.

20 rubles per night.

And yours stays idle.

Why are you staring at me? How are you going to pay me back?

You don't have money, do you?

I don't.

That's right.

The doctor's bill alone is 75 rubles.

How much?

And the rest?

All in all, it's 105 rubles and 30 kopecks.

Where will I get the money?

Think.

I'll tell you if you can't come up with anything.

Hello, my dear.

I can't believe it.

You're smiling, you're out of your room.

You were right.

I shouldn't torture myself.

I wanted to go for a ride.

Will you join me?

Of course. Where do you want to go?

To Liddy.

I mean, to her estate.

What? Liddy?

Grig, I had dreams about her all night.

We should go there.

I don't understand. Why?

What will we do there? Look at the ruins?

I want to talk to the yard servants.

Maybe...

Maybe they found Lida. I was her only friend.

-I have to do this. -Natalie! This is too much.

-Of course you don't have to... -But, Grig!

My angel,

it's bad for you

in your situation.

Why do you keep asking me?

I told you, I know nothing and no one.

I was on my way home for my vacations and spent all my money.

So I found this job, picking the pears.

I'm a student, not a rioter. I don't know anything about the riot.

Leave us.

I'm not here to investigate the riot.

Katia Verbitskaya told me about you and your friend.

Are you laughing at me? She's dead.

Zakhar buried her alive. That's why Stepan stabbed her.

She's alive, as you very well know.

She came to me and told me everything...

How you met at the mill.

How she hid in the attic.

And about your arrest.

She waited till dark and came to me.

I'm her friend.

Is she all right?

I hope she is fine and far from here.

She mentioned your friend

who witnessed a murder at the mill in the early summer.

Yes, he told me about that.

I need to find him.

Maybe he can recognize the killer. It's important. For Katia, too.

I don't know where he can be.

I swear I don't.

I know he wouldn't go very far.

He's a political prisoner. He'd get arrested at any checkpoint.

Maybe he'll come back here in a month or two.

Look at this rosebud!

Don't be so scared.

I don't bite.

Darling, are you sure you're in the right room?

Pardon me.

Come with me, sugar.

Come on.

What are you doing?

I wish your kids peeled potatoes for you like this.

Putting clean potatoes with the peels! Galia!

You aren't yourself.

What happened?

Galia, tell me.

Panas's mother is very ill.

She's too weak to lift her hand. Every time she gets up she's dizzy.

The old mistress would bring the doctor for Katia.

Come on.

What if...

It's not the same. It was for Katia.

The old mistress might bring him for anyone, though.

But she isn't here anymore,

and the new one is giving everyone dirty looks.

I always feel like she's going to get me.

She liked Orysia so much,

and she had her whipped.

Shame on you.

What are you saying?

Our mistress is good.

She's just scared after that night.

So.

Here.

Wash and cut these beetroots for me.

I'll be right back.

You aren't allowed out.

I'm just going to the post office to send a letter.

Go back! Quick.

What's going on?

She was trying to run away.

No!

I was just going to post the letter and come back.

It's for a friend.

He will help me out, and I'll pay you back in a week,

maybe two.

Do you want me to feed you for free until then?

I can clean the rooms...

and cook.

Cleaning doesn't pay much.

And I don't need another cook. Mine is enough.

I can play the piano and speak French.

I could give lessons to your girls.

That's funny.

My girls don't need your French.

That's not what they are paid for.

By the way,

you could pass for a French girl...

if you talk to customers in French.

That would double your price.

I'm not doing this.

You will.

When your bruises fade.

Ma'am!

Thyme tea.

And the pies straight from the stove,

hot, the way you like them.

Thank you, Pavlina.

I'm so cold, and I can't get warm.

It's autumn.

Everybody is ill.

There is this old woman here in Chervinka.

She is nice and hardworking,

and not that old, too,

but she's very ill.

So?

Well...

Maybe...

you could send a doctor to her.

-Grig! -Ma cherie!

My darling! You're just on time.

Grig...

There is a sick old lady in the village.

So I thought,

why doesn't Semion Arkadyevich come to have a look at her

and at your leg, too.

Maybe the bullet has moved,

and he will be able to extract it.

What do you say?

My leg is fine.

Morphine works.

I don't need a doctor. Is that clear?

Still...

The old lady is very sick, Grig.

Why should it bother us?

Being good masters, we should...

Yakov manages everything connected with the peasants.

Talk to him.

She is in a really bad shape.

Are you deaf? I said, go to Yakov.

He'll call the doctor if he's needed.

-For Vasilina? -Yes.

Oksana.

Come here.

That's all I have.

I sent money to my mom today.

Stop.

Have a drink.

It's a tradition.

Hello. Newspapers and magazines for Madame.

Finally.

I'm sorry, can you post this letter for me?

Why not, dear lady?

It's my job. Give it to me.

I only have half a kopeck.

Can you do it on trust?

All right, Miss.

I don't need your kopecks.

You can pay me later.

Thank you.

Give it to her.

Madame asked you to come see her.

-My friend... -M-me Makarova, good day.

Give me the letter.

Here.

But...

This bitch is trying to blackmail a client.

Really?

She seemed so nice.

Nice?

You have to be very careful around nice girls like her.

If she tries to do it again, give everything to me.

I'll make sure you're properly rewarded.

Nezhin, Mr. Nikolay Doroshenko, for his eyes only.

All right...

What was the name of the man who was in the cell with Mr. Kosach

Yegor Reshetnikov. Why?

He escaped in the early summer,

taking advantage of a negligent jailer.

The latter was fired with a reprimand.

Was he caught?

Not yet. But he will be.

Give me his file.

You think he is also one of them?

Everything is possible.

All right.

This Reshetnikov must be quite a character...

if people come...

to ask after him from Kiev's vice-governor.

You are his advisor,

aren't you, Nikolay Aleksandrovich?

I was.

What's going on in Kiev?

There is a rumor

about a big land reform...

to free the bondmen.

I'm against it.

I believe...

we'd need more prisons in this case,

before it's too late.

Where is Reshetnikov's mother's address?

Let me see.

Here.

-Let me write it down for you. -Do it.

Just a moment.

Here.

What are you doing here?

God. I'm sick of your pity.

Here.

What is it?

Where did you get it?

The girls have chipped in for your doctor.

My dear girls.

How...

It's all right.

It's not much, but it will last you some time.

We'll gather more later.

Come on.

Mr. Liutovich!

We're closed.

You know

I can't be here at night when there are other people around.

Go away.

Madame forbids us to let you in even in the daytime after the last time.

Bring her here.

I can't.

She's out on business. She'll be back in three hours.

All right.

Let her do her business.

Why are you banging at the door?

The vampire is here.

He wants everybody downstairs.

-Oh God. -Who is he?

Liutovich. He's a beast.

I still have bruises from the last time.

He bites you till you bleed.

Or whips us.

And that's not all.

What are you waiting for? Let's go.

Are you alive there?

A new girl?

A new girl!

Look at this chick!

Look at you.

Look at you...

Come on, come on. Which room is yours?

-Let go! -Come on, come on.

Mr. Inspector, let her go. She's sick.

You'll catch an influenza.

Anyway,

do you really want these skinny bitches?

Take me.

I will make any of your wishes come true,

even the most secret one.

You're smart.

Let's go.

Sir! Dinner is ready.

I'm coming.

I'm going.

Fantastic.

What’s wrong?

I was just thinking.

Here.

What about, Grig?

Nothing.

What happened?

I'm not hungry.

I've lost my appetite.

Grig...

Madame, you're a crook and a charlatan!

Messier, you're wrong.

There is no such thing in Holland.

I pay you, I get girl!

Is everything all right here?

You will get your girl.

I want my money back.

Or give me pleasure I paid for.

Where is the paid girl?

Here. She is here.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Come with me.

Here.

Get changed, quick.

Help her.

-What for? -You're going to play.

Did you think I'd let you

into the parlor with the clients looking like this?

Enough. Be ready in twenty minutes.

Don't be shy.

We'll make you look pretty.

Just a minute. Messier, hush!

This is your chick.

She's beautiful!

But wobbly.

The girl had a bad case of influenza.

She is still weak.

That's why I insist that you wait.

You don't want her to faint at once.

You want to have your full pleasure.

Oh yes.

Then have some patience.

The girl will get stronger, and then...

Here.

Bring best doctor, buy best food.

Let it speed up the process.

Don't worry.

You'll be satisfied. Come on.

Leave me alone.

I don't want to see anyone.

Leave everything and come with me.

Where?

You're going to the Shefer estate with me.

But... why?

Liddy was never buried.

She didn't have anyone but me.

It's my duty to take care of her.

Let's go see what can be done.

Ma'am...

Don't be upset with me,

but...

I have things to do here, too.

Maybe you could take Orysia.

All right.

Here.

Look.

This is too much.

It's all right.

Take off this thing.

You shouldn't hide your beauty.

I can't.

It's indecent.

Oh God.

The goods have to be seen.

Get used to it.

I'll work off what I owe and leave.

Yes. That's what everybody says.

Hello, mistress.

Can we help you?

I am no mistress of yours.

You're the lady of Chervinka, aren't you?

Yes.

So, we're yours.

Are you crazy?

Your mistress lies here.

The master was here yesterday...

with the new steward.

-Yakov. -Yakov.

Well...

in this case...

Look for Liddy's remains thoroughly.

If you find them, let me know at once.

Be respectful and prepare them for the burial.

Is that clear?

-Will do, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

Miss Natalie.

Can I go to Katia's grave real quick?

Pavlina asked me to put flowers on it.

I'll be right back.

Not now.

We're going home.

Are you scared?

Don't be.

Do you see the short one?

It's merchant Gayduk.

He likes to watch.

And that one is Koliub.

He looks scary.

It's just the looks.

He cries like a baby when he's drunk.

He also asks you to rock him in your arms.

Now, the shorty in the center.

He likes to be called...

Bacchus the Tireless.

You'll see lots of different things here.

There are bad guys, of course, like Luty,

but Madame sends them on their way.

Most of the customers are nice.

Who is this?

One more tine. Allez!

Andrey Andreyevich.

Ask any girl, and they'll tell you he's

the best man in the world.

How funny!

A nice man won't come here.

You’re talking nonsense.

You think it's filth?

It's life!

It's fun!

Not like at the nobles' houses

where you can't sit or breathe freely.

Maybe he comes here...

to find comfort for his soul.

Those who pay for someone's body have no soul.

Go to hell!

Hey! Music!

Andrey, what is it?

Do you like her?

I know her.

I've seen her before.
