THE HEIRESS

EPISODE 1

Anastasia Ivanova Vlad Nikitiuk

Ksenia Mishina Georgiy Khostikoev

Aleksandr Kryzhanovskiy Sergey Sipliviy

The open-air museum Spivocha Sloboda welcomes visitors.

Today we are expecting a visit of the princess

who brought an ancient book of the ancient Rurikovich family

as part of her official visit.

We are happy to welcome Her Highness in our park-museum.

Everything goes according to the plan. The princess has arrived.

Photoshoot is planned right after the show.

According to whose plan, Vlad?

If it was up to me, I would have been with the princess right now.

Andrei Grigoryevich, no one gave us the authority

to dictate our conditions to Korolenko.

Vlad, you either take the authority

or you run after those who took it. Okay, I'll figure this out.

How annoying is Yarik.

After all, I manage the Korolenko foundation

and it's my merit we finally got the book of Rurikovich.

I'll have to explain it to everyone.

We remind our visitors we have open souvenir shops,

you have an opportunity to take pictures.

Of course.

For the Vozrazhday foundation which I have an honour to manage

and for the whole Korolenko family today is a very important day,

the great book is returning home.

It will shed light on the existence of another historical branch

from Rurikovich family to Volhynia princes.

We are very pleased that Her Highness, Princess of Sweden,

Duchess of Helsingland personally brought us this treasure.

Tymchuk, your feet! On the throne!

Get off it right now!

I am, I am.

Oh damn!

- Yaroslav Vladimirovich. - Great you came up to us.

The princess would like to get a picture with the princess.

All right girls, see you.

Well of course.

We need to wait three minutes to take a photo.

- The princess is here until 12. - So what?

Ein moment.

Yaroslav, is everything fine?

Yes, everything is fine.

I'm so sorry, one minute.

Mummy, I am also studying, but today is Olya's turn to clean up.

Mum, she is not writing her thesis around the clock.

Miss, excuse me, can I have a moment?

Mum, I, unlike Olya, at least know

what faculty I am in and why I am studying.

- Mummy, please. - Miss, can I have a moment?

Mum... okay, all right,

I'll come, but only late at night.

Okay, Mum, bye.

- What? - I need to take a picture with you.

Excuse me, my working day is over.

You don't understand, it's for the princess, not me.

What is it, just princesses around? One gave me all her life,

the second is writing her thesis

and the third one wants a picture, seriously?

All right, miss, but still...

Sofia, princess of ancient Russia, from 10 AM to 12 PM.

Your Highness, please, give us a little attention.

- Sorry, but no. - Hang on, what does it mean no?

- What are you so busy with? - I will tell you.

First of all, I've got a very important lecture at the university.

Then I've got two part-time jobs,

after that I'm helping Mum at the hotel. Excuse me.

Well this is not...

Excuse me.

- Yaroslav, what's going on? - The lady will be happy

to make photo with you.

That's a lie, madam. My working hours are over.

So your friend can borrow my dress

and take as many pictures as he needs while I have to go.

Good for you. I'm princess all the time.

From birth, seven days a week. What is your name?

- Sofia. - Sofia? I'm Madlen.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.

I see, your time is your money.

This isn't about it, but I must go.

Please.

All right.

Be so kind.

Hang on, I'll put the fur coat on.

Smile.

It's enough.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

- We're gonna go now. - Okay.

- Bye. - Bye-bye.

Thank you.

Oh, you... I don't need.

- Who is that man? - Yaroslav Korolenko.

He is a grandson of that same Yuriy Sergeyevich Korolenko.

Just great. Now I owe money to the grandson of "that one".

Did you take money from the princess?

No, no, no, I didn't take it. He came up and put money in my hand.

- Tymchuk, you are fired. - What?

Hand over your costume.

I don't want to see you here ever again.

I will go.

All right.

How did everything go, Yuriy Sergeyevich?

Thanks to the intelligence and charm of your daughter, we have the book.

I was watching her during the negotiation and thought

what a luck it is that she is more like her mother rather her father.

You are praising me.

Sashenka, modesty suits for interrogations and press conferences.

What interrogations, what do you mean?

It's just folk wisdom, dear.

Where is Yarik?

He is waiting at the restaurant.

Sorry I didn't meet you at the airport,

the princess' reception took longer.

- Is she pleased? - She is happy.

- Good. - Come over there to our table.

- Hello. - Hello.

We already have the book which means we can proceed with the second stage.

The heiress.

Yur?

If not now, then I don't know.

Okay, get started.

I'll bring her to you tomorrow.

No, you shouldn't expose yourself.

Let Yarik work.

I've missed you.

Yarik, I'm really tired.

He needs to come to terms with his new position

and not interfere with our plans.

He is young and handsome.

He should be taking care of the girl.

Guys, we are going to Turkey with the Polish team,

the University of Krakow gave the green light to join the expedition.

Super!

- Igor Svyatoslavovich, a question? - Yes.

How much does it cost?

Wrong question. It shouldn't bother you.

The desire to study and comprehend news is the most important.

I will find the funding. So, who is with me?

All of you?

Okay, Nazaruk,

Dudar, Lipovetskaya, Kvasova and Tymchuk.

Good, let's proceed with the lecture.

The largest state entity in Europe

and the fight for a dominant position in eastern Europe

with the Byzantine Empire.

Get the notes and start writing down.

The old Russia was the largest state entity in Europe.

Vas. Vas.

Can you find me an address, you are the king of the internet.

Whose, Tymchuk?

Igor Svyatoslavovich's address is on the list.

In ...988 Russia took...

Do you need a paper on Universals?

...everybody knows it, I hope, right? Who doesn't?

- Yeah. - Okay, find me the address

of Yaroslav Korolenko, please.

- Okay. - He is the grandson of Korolenko

who is financing historical researches.

And keep your jokes to yourself.

Good evening. Yes, I'm listening.

No, we are not ready to comment on this yet.

Of course, as soon as we are ready to answer this question,

our press office will contact you.

Yes, yes...

No, but...

I... yes, yes, yes, yes... yes, I'm listening.

I've told you, our press office will contact you once everything is set.

Yes... Yes, of course.

We will definitely discuss everything with you.

Have a good evening.

Yarik, why are you doing this?

Are you coming?

Wait for me in the canteen, okay?

Igor Svyatoslavovich, can I ask a question?

It depends on the question.

I am interested, if I... oh.

Excuse me. Yes, Mum... yeah...

Igor Svyatoslavovich, they asked for you at the department.

Now... not really... Mum... Are you...

Later, later.

You are welcome.

I got it. Okay, Mum, all right.

I'll be there after I walk the dogs.

Yes, Mum. I'm getting paid for it.

Stop, stop!

Heel, heel!

Oh, stop! Oh, it's you! Wait!

Miss, are you talking to me?

Who else? Wait, I am Sofia, the princess.

You gave me a hundred dollars this morning. Wait!

No, miss, you have obviously confused me with someone else.

No, no, no. Take your money back.

Is this a prank, where are the cameras?

I got fired because of you, but please don't sue me.

You're crazy, step away, step away from the car.

I am not crazy, I want to give you money back.

Heel.

It's all right, boys.

Man...

Are you all right?

Tomorrow is the presentation of the book,

the most important work of my life, of course, I'm fine.

Well done. You always get what you want.

You know what it costs me. So let's close this topic.

I wanted to ask you about Yarik.

Do you love him?

It's enough that he loves me.

And why do you think you have the right to ask me such questions?

Because I'm your father and I'm worried about you.

Daddy, you should have worried earlier, now it's too late.

I know what I need and I don't need anyone's advice.

Well, if you say so.

I just wanted to know if you have everything under control.

You've raised a smart and cynical enough girl,

you shouldn't worry about her future.

- Anything else? - Have you eaten?

Dad... I have.

You know, telling that I am obsessed with you wouldn't be a lie.

- Mum. - Face mask Tamara.

Apply it and it washes off ten years.

Sonya, come give me a hand.

Geez.

Here.

Careful, I rented it, if it doesn't fit, I need to return it.

Mum, why do you need it?

You will suffocate and die young, seriously.

You know how many girls suffocated from this in the Middle Ages?

- Pull in the belly. - I don't have a belly.

I've already pulled everything in.

- Oh. - What's "oh"?

- Just a little. - Sonya, come on.

- There's... - Sonya...

What Sonya, Mum? It is simply too small for you.

This is the most popular size, Sonya.

Just look at this.

I can't say it was this way.

You've ruined such a thing, Sonya...

Look, Mum,

we're going with the guys on an expedition to Turkey.

Excavations. Can you lend me 200 dollars?

Wow, where I am going to get that kind of money?

Doesn't the university cover the cost?

Well, Igor Svyatoslavovich told he will try to find money

but I can't go without any money.

Just think about it, a foreign country, you know.

Sure, tiles in the shower are falling off

and you need 200 dollars to spend in a foreign country.

Okay, I got it. Just asked.

I have to pay rent for the flat, you and Olka are living in, no money.

Got it. Okay, give me your corset, Marie Antoinette.

I'll fix it, no one will notice.

Can you, my princess?

I don't know, I was actually born to write dissertations on history

but I am also a part time Cinderella.

But just don't widen it, it has to make me slimmer.

If you want to be beautiful, learn how to pull in your belly.

I see.

Is everything all right, Aleksandra Borisovna?

Yes.

We received a signal that someone is in the room.

I've decided to check if everything is ready for tomorrow. I'm leaving.

- Have a good evening. - You too.

Madam Antoinette, everything is ready.

- You see. - Oh, Sonya.

You're my needlewoman.

So are you going to Turkey?

I hope, yes.

Don't give anyone your passport.

Mum, come on.

I'm going with Igor Svyatoslavovich Danilevskiy.

He is my teacher.

You remember, I've told you about him.

I'm sure he will look after me.

Men are the same everywhere.

Where are you going now?

You can stay.

Mummy, thanks for the care, but I can't, I have plans.

I've made cutlets for you and Olya. Get dinner.

Okay.

All right, mummy, I am going. Thank you.

Go.

Mum...

It won't hurt.

The Vozrazday foundation. Our heritage.

- Hey. - Yarik...

Hi. You scared me. Hi.

- This is for you. - Thank you.

I was afraid I won't catch you.

I had a lot of work, why didn't you call?

I wanted to surprise you.

Yarik, I am really tired. Enough surprises for today.

I ordered home dinner.

Let's go before it gets cold.

No, Yarik, sorry. I will go to home.

I have to prepare a speech for tomorrow and pick the outfit.

Okay, not a problem,

we can go to your place, I'll change the delivery address.

Let's simply skip this evening.

Am I disturbing you?

No, I've been waiting for this moment for five freaking years

and I'm asking you to let me get ready for tomorrow,

so everything goes perfectly.

Sorry, I just wanted to share your triumph with you, that's all.

I am sorry too, it didn't work out.

Oh, Sonya, hi.

You forgot to take the key out.

Listen, can you sleep over somewhere else tonight?

- Again? - This is the last time, I promise.

Olya, Mum rents this flat for me too.

Well, she is my mother.

I see.

How is the thesis going? Your mother won't be very happy.

I'm working on it, I have it under control, doc. Bye.

Hang on, Mum handed over the cutlets.

Here you are.

Thank you. Bye.

By the way, you remember that Mum can't be stressing out, right?

Good. Bye.

All branches of Rurikovich dynasty originate from Vladimir and his sons.

Oh!

Did you follow the smell, as in ads?

- Hello. - Hi. Come in.

Come in, come in.

Did you decide to sleep in the department again?

I'm here for the first time.

You don't have to lie to me,

I talked to the security, said the dean knows

as if he had allowed you.

Take a seat.

Here you are.

- Thank you. - Eat.

You lied to the security for me?

We all have hard times in life.

Eat or it will get cold.

I'm glad you are going to the excavations.

You'll learn a lot.

Everything there is real.

You still think this way,

even though you have been to so many of them?

This is the love of my life.

I feel at home only there.

What about home?

I mean the house, family, kids.

How would I know.

Who are we? Nomads.

We find a skull and we rush off after it.

How a family could survive?

You never wanted to settle down?

I did.

But I was young and inexperienced back then.

It's late, I should get going, you also need to get rest.

I'll leave.

An invitation to the presentation of the book. Art centre. 2 PM

Beautiful. Who is it?

Sorry, but this is none of your business.

- Igor Svyatoslavovich. - Yes.

Do you really think you will get the money for the trip?

Of course.

You want to join me tomorrow?

I think we can pull it off.

Of course, yes. Where?

You'll see tomorrow.

As for now, rest. Have a good evening.

So?

Do you have good news for your grandfather?

Yes, I'm going to propose to Sasha tonight.

Well done.

By the way, Ilyin is waiting in the lobby.

Do you know what he wants?

I want you to bring me one person tonight.

I don't want to trust strangers. An important person...

Okay. Who? Where from?

Who, from where.

You will find out later.

Oh, good day, Anna Ivanovna, I'm cleaning up here.

Hello. Good.

Don't forget to water the plants. I had to do it last time.

Yes, of course, I'll water them.

Hi.

You have all the material, read, look for information, ask.

Tymchuk, you are right on time, come.

- Where to? - To get the money for the trip.

How?

One thing at a time. Just trust me.

We can't risk it.

The Public Prosecutor's Office seized your accounts.

We can't allow bankruptcy rumours to start.

Cancel the presentation.

Cancel all public activities.

It's better to lie low or leave.

Why am I paying you for?

For keeping you out of scandals.

Adriusha, who are you? The director of the foundation?

What does the foundation do?

I can't hear you.

The retrieval of historical heritage.

So keep retrieving, Adriusha.

And if you offer to run away or lie low, don't come to me.

Just write a letter of resignation.

You can go now.

Saint Princess Olga

- Good afternoon, she is with me. - Good afternoon.

I'll help you with your coats.

- Thank you. - Let's go.

Yeah.

It's beautiful here.

Andrei Grigoryevich, you've told there is some

sensational information in the family book

aside of the historical heritage.

Yes, the research is still ongoing, but our experts are almost sure

there is an unknown branch of Rurikovich family

which perhaps has descendants.

You mean alive heirs?

This is too early to talk about.

The main thing is we returned an important historical heritage.

Such things have special energy, that's why the book should be at home

Why Korolenko financed such a complex and long operation,

researches around the world. For what?

I you allow me, I'll answer this question.

The Vozrazhday foundation is proud of the fact that

Yuriy Sergeyevich Korolenko is our founder and inspirer.

He is real sincere patriot,

whose soul hurts knowing our relict is in a foreign land.

- Stay here, I'll be back soon. - Thank you.

Welcome, we're starting soon. Here is the book.

We're grateful to the Princess of Sweden,

Duchess of Helsingland

for returning the book to its historical homeland.

We are very sorry that the duchess couldn't attend our presentation

because she had to leave, but this applause for her.

Good afternoon, Andrei Grigoryevich.

- Good afternoon. - Do you remember me?

- Yes, you are... - Igor Svyatoslavovich Danilevskiy.

Yes, the professor.

It won't take much time.

I know you're financing scientific researches.

How much?

An expedition of 10 -12 students.

The guys are very smart, talented.

The hope of our science and archaeology so to speak.

I'll see what we can do, but you know

I don't have the final call.

I need to get Korolenko's approval first, it will take time.

I understand, we're ready to wait.

I will let you know of my decision.

Igor? Hi.

I didn't expect you here, but I'm glad to see you.

How could I miss such an event?

Really? I didn't think this is your scene, so to speak.

You remember what my scene is?

Excuse me, I need to attend the guests.

- Good luck. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, hello. Hang on...

You? How come? Are you stalking me?

Is it yours?

Mine. Where did you get it?

- Yaroslav. - Hi.

- Hi. - You look amazing.

Thank you.

Come, I have a surprise for you.

Dear colleagues, friends,

today is a fantastic and very important day for our family.

I am happy to share this happiness with you.

I want to make an important announcement.

I was planning to do it in the evening, but...

But this atmosphere, this room.

It would be stupid to waste such a moment.

This great book is finally home.

It's back because of the titanic work

of an amazing woman.

Aleksandra Rudenko. Let's welcome her.

Aleksandra, you've made so many people happy today.

I'm asking you...

make me the happiest man in the world.

Be my wife.

Yes.

Thank you, everybody, have a good day.

Igor Svyatoslavovich, sorry, I've lost you.

We didn't get the money, sorry, but we'll fight a little more.

Well, okay, that doesn't matter.

We're leaving.

Okay. Let's go.

What happened, Igor Svyatoslavovich?

It doesn't matter.

Yuriy Sergeyevich, I thought he found a way.

The process has started, we can go all-in now.

We?

Yeah, I think it's the perfect timing.

They will be afraid to touch you after such success.

This morning you were ready to send me out of the country, Ilyin.

Yeah, I might have been wrong.

Panicked.

I don't trust you, Ilyin.

I bet a lot on you.

I hoped that you will do better,

but you're the same petty corruptionist you were before.

I'm pulling you off from the project.

Why?

Yuriy Sergeyevich, did I let you down?

Did I give you a reason?

If I needed a reason,

I would have been there

where your friends wanted to see me long time ago.

The conversation is over.

We'll announce in a week

that Sasha is taking over the management of the foundation.

- Sasha? - Yes.

And you will remain the honorary president... formally.

What about the case?

I'm not done with the Public Prosecutor's Office yet.

They haven't closed the case on economic crime charges

they want to press against you.

Perhaps it's even better you're not done with it.

Okay, no scandals.

That means...

All right.

You will regret this.

Scat!

The old man is crazy, talk some sense into him, otherwise...

Yuriy Sergeyevich,

Yaroslav will come in about half an hour.

Okay.

Tell him almost everything about the girl.

What's with Ilyin?

There is no more Ilyin.

What if you are told tomorrow

that I'm working for the competitors as well, Yuriy Sergeyevich?

What the hell is this?

Everyone turned into women. Focus, people.

Ilyin can't solve all my problems.

The girl and her inheritance are our salvation.

Thanks, girls.

Well, fiancé, let's go home and celebrate.

I can't.

Grandpa called and asked to accompany an important guest to him.

Well, I can't argue with Yuriy Sergeyevich.

If it's an important guest, means you are on assignment.

I can't believe how lucky I am.

No one can.

Do you need a ride?

No, I'll stay and work a little.

Okay.

Ta-da!

Mum, you promised not to buy anything from the TV ads.

"You like cooking, but you are bad at it?

Our knives will do it for you."

Horrible.

I see.

Here is your carrot.

Well...

By the way, I'm not going to Turkey.

Well, that's good.

Dreams are certainly good,

but you need to stand on your own two feet, you know.

Given your genes,

you can easily become like your father.

- A rolling stone. - Listen...

What do you think happened to him?

Why he didn't come back?

You've asked me a hundred times, I've answered you hundred times.

I think something bad happened to him.

I am going to bed.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left us.

Good night, Mum.

Aren't you going to sleep?

I need to clean up the greenhouse first.

Go to sleep, I'll be quick.

I'll be waiting for you.

Go straight for ten kilometres.

Boris, you gave me the address,

but GPS is navigating me to the suburbs.

Is the address correct?

Okay. Yes, I'll call.

Hey!

Is anyone here?

Hello, Boris, I'm here.

Well, this looks like some kind of a motel.

What's the last name?

Okay, I'm calling.

Hello.

It can't be true, is it you?

What are you doing here?

- What's your last name? - Tymchuk.

Well, then I came for you.

I see her. Yaroslav is also here.

You will act according to my instructions.
