TV Channel UKRAYINA Presents

THE HEIRESS

It can't be true, is it you?

What are you doing here?

EPISODE 2

What's your last name?

Tymchuk.

Well, then I came for you.

Very funny.

How do you mean funny?

Aren't you aware of it?

Hang on. What kind of business do you have with my grandpa?

Your grandpa? Korolenko?

Yes, Korolenko.

This is weird.

Well, we did ask him for money.

For an expedition, excavation in Turkey.

I don't get it.

The interrogation is over. Good night.

I hope I won't see you again.

Listen, I don't know what's going on

but my grandpa asked me to pick you up.

He said it's some special occasion

Korolenko himself said that for him this is a special occasion?

He sent me to pick you up, not a driver.

Means it's important to him.

Something significant is linked to you.

Significant? The excavation?

Maybe the foundation is going to finance it?

I don't know. Perhaps

Let's go then.

Wait a second. I'll take off my jacket and tell Mum.

Produced by Alla Lipovetskaya

Marina Kvasova

I never thought that student expedition

will be so important for your grandfather or his foundation.

Yeah, me too.

Come on.

Good evening, Boris. I've got a problem with the car.

I'm stuck on the road.

Yes, she is with me.

Send a car, please.

I am waiting.

What are you doing?

I want to change the tyre.

You don't have to do that.

I've made a call. They are sending another car.

The bridge is under construction, we will be waiting for hours.

Your father works at the repair shop?

I don't have a father.

Sorry.

Where did you learn to do this then?

I grew up around truckers. I've learned things.

Do you want this to happen faster?

Yes, I want it badly.

Then don't stand there, hand me a jack-screw.

Come on.

You like it here, yes?

It's nice.

So, where is your grandfather?

Wait here, I'll go and find out.

You can have a seat.

Ilyin can't be trusted.

No, I need guarantees.

We're announcing tomorrow Korolenko empire has a new heiress.

Get the paperwork ready.

Last name Tymchuk.

Tymchuk. Sofia Romanovna.

Yarik is bringing her here any minute now.

Korolenko will tell her she is the heiress.

What about Yarik?

He will have to come to accept it.

- We must go. - What?

Come, I'll explain on the way.

Meaning?

Yuriy Sergeyevich.

Did he bring her?

According to the security Yaroslav's car is here.

- Bring her here. - Yes.

Hang on, I'll better do it myself.

Do it myself.

What the hell is going on?

What kind of excavation you have?

Not me, but our group. And Igor Svyatoslavovich.

When are you leaving?

In a week. Why are you asking?

No, nothing. You were right.

Grandpa decided to help you out with the project.

Did he?

Yes, he wants to cover all the expenses.

Why didn't he tell me that himself?

Because he isn't feeling well. He is over 70.

You know it happens.

He asked me to pay all the expenses

and send you to Turkey as soon as possible.

What about Igor Svyatoslavovich and the guys?

Don't worry, they will come in a week or two.

That's nonsense!

You think I am stupid and going to believe you?

I probably didn't make myself clear. This is not nonsense.

No one is there.

How come?

Listen, my grandpa probably mixed up something.

He thought he needs to cover only your expenses.

It's not a problem. I'll talk to him about the rest of the group.

And soon they will join you.

Come.

You won't get a second chance like that.

Think about you and your fellow students as well.

Okay, I agree.

What the hell.

Yarik is not picking up.

It's me, me. It's my fault.

Someone came into the room while I was on the phone about Sofia.

Most probably it was Yaroslav and he heard everything.

Are you kidding me?

I'm afraid I'm not.

Your heart?

Let's go.

Easy, easy, easy... Let's sit you down.

Find him.

Doctor?

Yarik. Faster.

Hello, Pasha. Come over quickly, Pasha.

Yuriy Sergeyevich isn't feeling well.

In a moment.

Where are we rushing to?

Where to? To meet your dream.

I'll put you on a plane and make sure you are met in Istanbul

and treated with the famous Turkish hospitality.

All right. But why the rush?

Why couldn't we wait at least until tomorrow?

Tomorrow is now. It's 4 AM.

The hotel is already booked and paid.

Just think about it.

You'll be enjoying the sea air while looking at seagulls today.

All you need to do is say thank you.

Thank you.

Yes, Stanislav Vladimirovich?

I'll call you back.

Okay, I need to stop for a coffee

otherwise I'll fall asleep.

Wait here.

Stasik, why aren't you picking up? What's going on there?

Kolorenko's people are here.

How many?

Two cars.

How long have they been there?

About 20 minutes.

Okay, keep me posted.

Sorry, I fell asleep. It happens to me.

No worries. Do you want some coffee?

Let's stop by my home for a few minutes.

Why are you sitting? Come out.

What for? I'll wait here.

Listen, we don't have much time.

If I say come out, you should.

I'm not going to your house. You are bossing me around.

How should I put it, so you understand.

You'll go on your expedition, dig out everything you've dreamed of

and won't think about the money at all.

Isn't this enough to do what I ask you for another half an hour?

- Careful. - Damn...

Come on in, come. Don't be shy.

Wow.

- Not bad. - Yeah, I know.

Sofa, remote, TV.

Make yourself at home. I'll be back soon.

Yes, when is the first flight to Istanbul?

Business class.

No, no. One way.

News

Hello, you've reached Professor Danilevskiy.

Leave a message after the beep.

Igor Svyatoslavovich, it's me, Tymchuk.

I'm calling to inform you I found the money for our trip.

But I'm going to Turkey a little earlier than you guys.

Looks like, right now.

But given that Korolenko Senior is paying for our trip,

we'll soon meet in Turkey.

See you.

...the return of the Rurikovich genealogy book

wasn't the main sensation yesterday.

According to the source close to the Korolenko family

he found a Rurikovich heiress

whose name is written on the golden pages of the book.

What? Do you understand what's going on?

What comments are you talking about?

Wait a moment, wait. What did you say?

The heiress has been found?

I'd warned you. He can't overstrain.

Such stress is dangerous for teenagers.

But in his age and his heart...

When he had ever listened to anyone, Pasha?

You can reach me 24/7.

Good. Thank you.

Dad!

Listen, journalists are saying some kind of royal heiress

has appeared to Yuriy Sergeyevich.

Almost from Yaslavsk family branch.

Not now, Sasha, I'm busy. Pasha…

Borya...

Find Yarik within an hour.

I gave the information about the heiress yesterday.

We can't screw it up.

Find him.

Dad, what's going on?

Why I don't know anything about it?

Sasha, I... can't discuss this with you right now.

How could you hide it from me?

What's your plan? Where the hell is this heiress?

It's not my secret to tell.

Dad, it's not a secret anymore.

It's all over the news.

All right.

Yura and I found her a long time ago.

Kept an eye on her while...

you were looking for the book.

Means you knew about the heiress even without the book?

Sash... We couldn't risk it.

We needed the book to confirm the right of inheritance.

I'm such an idiot. I've been used all this time.

Sasha... Sasha.

Huh, what an old fart.

The return of Rurikovich family book.

Promotes himself, pretends to be a saviour of the fatherland.

Something happened?

Yes, something happened.

Call the colonel here, now.

You'd ordered to delete all the correspondence

and never let him in again.

Doesn't matter what I've said. Call him, immediately.

We'll start a new game.

We will take Korolenko's empire down loud and with pathos.

Yuriy Sergeyevich, you should be in bed.

Come, lie down.

Come.

Where is Yarik?

I sent a guy to his apartment.

Well, why you are here?

You started the whole chain reaction,

and I'm trying to coordinate all the processes.

To be honest, I don't have enough time.

Careful.

What's on the news?

Exactly what you said.

That we have the heiress and soon we will present her.

Well, am I wrong?

We don't have the heiress. We didn't find Yarik.

Business Ilyin was dealing with is still on.

The interest of the press to your name will only spur our enemies.

And this will tie hands in a deal with a clear Swiss bank.

Borya, Borya, stop clacking. Better go look for Yarik.

Just stay in bed, I'll do everything it myself.

Go.

No, no, it's too long.

Then look for a flight to any other Turkish city today.

Yes, miss, thank you. Please book it.

Sofia!

Sofia. Sofia, wake up. We have a problem.

My fiancé is coming here any minute. So, let's go.

So what? Is she the jealous type?

Yes, she is, but this doesn't concern you. Please, come.

Listen, you came to my house without an invitation.

I didn't ask for any of it.

Where should I go? To the closet?

- Come with me. - Seriously?

Here, come in. You'll like it.

- My stuff, my stuff! - Yes, yes, here, thanks.

Well...

Sashka.

You knew?

Answer me.

First of all, hello, love.

Yarik! I need your honest answer.

Wait, what are you talking about? Please explain.

All those years I've been working my butt off for your grandfather.

Yes, I'm aware of it, Sasha.

All those years I've been fed a story

that all Korolenko's empire was built on a box,

full of golden coins of Rurikovich descendant's.

In gratitude for it, your grandfather creates a fund

and invests in research.

Yeah, I'm aware of it. Get to the point.

I haven't eaten, slept or rested in three years, Yarik.

I can't even remember when was the last time I held a book.

But what about the book of Rurikovich?

Oh, you are amusing, Yarik.

Where are you heading with this?

And today, by pure accident, I hear on the news

that you've been playing a double game all this time.

Who we?

And in fact, you are looking for the heiress

and I'm being used.

No, wait, wait. I have absolutely nothing to do with it.

I found it out just a few hours ago myself.

First thing I was planning to do was to discuss it with you.

What's that, Yarik?

I'll call you back.

Whose phone is this?

Hi.

Is it her?

Well hello, hello. Your Highness, I assume?

I'm...

What were you doing there, princess? Thinking?

Two men are coming here. I've already seen one of them.

I think he was spying on me.

Let's get out of here.

I'm not going anywhere. Why would I?

Given we are all here, let's talk and discuss.

No, let's discuss this later, Sasha.

The heiress, amazing.

Sasha, please, we have to go or I'll lose everything.

What a brilliant plan.

A simple girl, from a regular family.

Cinderella. An ideal heiress.

Okay... Can I get my phone back?

- Sure. - I must go, goodbye.

Sofia, wait. We already agreed on everything. Sofia!

- Sasha. - Yes?

If you love me, please don't rat me out.

Give me a chance to explain everything.

Hey! Where are you taking me?

Do we really need to run?

Hi.

Sasha.

It's worthless what you've started.

Your bouncer is also worthless. I'm here alone.

I don't know where Yarik is.

I'm not part of his plans.

- I get him. - Why is it so?

It's unpleasant to find out that you have been

forgetting your own interests for years

for people who are simply manipulating you, Dad.

Oh, Sasha…

Who is manipulating you? It's the other way around.

We wanted to keep you out of these problems.

I always dreamed that your life would be different.

That you could do what you want without thinking about money.

Okay, good.

I have to update Yuriy Sergeyevich.

Let's go. Are you coming with us?

No. I'm not going to run after him.

Sasha, you're looking for enemies in a wrong place.

Of course, Daddy. I can only trust myself now.

I think it's about time you explained yourself.

What explanation do you need?

I need the truth. Finally.

What truth? I don't know it exactly myself.

Whose heiress? If you ask me, it's nonsense.

Attention, sliding doors! The next stop has no name.

So, Adriusha?

You will be referring like that to your mates in the barracks.

Why so swift? Anyway, why did you call me?

Someone ratted me out to Korolenko.

He knows I've been digging under him.

Happens.

It's weird he simply fired me. Listen, we have to act quickly.

What are we going to do?

All this time he kept some heiress of Rurikovich in secret.

You must find out why he needs her.

We have to take him down earlier that he takes me down.

Look, Adriusha,

it's not acceptable to point fingers at those who are higher in rank.

This is called army hazing. And entails responsibility.

Did you call me to work? Let's work.

So, what about the heiress?

Nothing outside.

All this time Korolenko managed the foundation

and financed the search.

Supposedly out of love to history

and gratitude to his childhood friend.

The friend who gave him the initial capital.

A box with antique coins.

Supposedly this friend is a descendant of a noble family.

But in fact...

In fact, he was looking for the heiress.

It's in today's news.

I dug a little,

information was given to the media by Korolenko himself.

I need an inside source... from Korolenko's side.

You, as far as I understand, are no longer there.

Find the source.

Okay, enough. Take me to Mum.

Mum? You have a flight in an hour, business class.

I'm not going anywhere.

You are so going.

Will you force me to?

Do I need to force you?

I'm kidding.

Listen...

Just think about it as your only chance to get to the excavation.

For you and your group.

Okay.

But I can't go without my passport.

You didn't mention yesterday that I'll need it.

Okay, we will have time for that.

We'll stop by your place.

Did you find him?

No. He wasn't at home.

We're checking airports.

Did you track his phone?

Yes, but he is using secured diplomatic network.

What do you suggest?

Her phone. People are working on it already.

Go ahead.

Thank you for the lift. It was an unforgettable trip.

I'm glad it's over. I'm not going anywhere.

Stop. How do you mean you are not going?

What about our deal?

What about your classmates dreaming to get to Turkey

for stupid excavation?

Enough manipulating me.

Why do you think I'm manipulating you?

I truly want to help you and your friends.

Is that why you are lying to me?

No, I'm not lying to you.

This conversation is over.

Wait, wait. What do you mean it's over?

I've had enough of you and your Turkey.

Let me go.

Go.

You don't want to go to Turkey, right?

What do you want then? Sofia?

It's more important to find out who I am.

Do you know anything about what your fiancée was saying?

Let's assume I know. So what?

Will you tell me?

Perhaps I will, but on one condition…

I'm starving.

Let's go grab something to eat and we will talk?

Good day.

Shall we talk?

About what?

Judging by your face you also weren't aware of the things.

Have a seat.

I'm well aware of the fact we are no longer allies.

Why is it so?

We can still have a deal.

What kind of deal?

Well... Korolenko empire is collapsing.

The heiress is about to replace you.

Crushed plans and illusions. Should I continue?

Or you are a smart girl and realize you need me as much as I need you?

You know, if I were looking for an ally,

I would hardly have chosen you.

I was always surprised by Yuriy Sergeyevich

and his relationship with you.

This conversation is over.

Alexandra Borisovna, you are mistaken.

Yuriy Sergeyevich trusted me with very important tasks.

By the way, I remember

you called off the wedding with Igor Danilevskiy

a week before the ceremony.

Did this photo had anything to do with it?

Where did you get that? I'd destroyed it.

You destroyed a copy.

I've kept the original and all the photomontages I'd made

on Yuriy Sergeyevich's request whom you respect so much.

It turned out for a reason…

I need time.

And I need accurate data.

Verified three times, better four times.

I'll think about it.

Think about it.

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

Where can we take a seat?

We have the best seats for you. Follow me.

- Coffee, please. - I'm on it.

Waiter, please bring the bill.

Yes, madam.

- There you go. - Thank you.

I hope the food here is good.

It depends on your behaviour and of course, tips, sir.

The hype surrounding the heiress of an ancient clan

arose after the genealogy book of the Rurikovich

was brought to our country.

No doubt, the significance of this event can hardly be estimated.

Dad, can we talk?

Hang on, I'm in rush.

Listen, it won't take long.

Tell me, did you know that photo was fake?

Where did you get that information from?

Did Yuriy Sergeyevich deceive you as well?

Sasha, this is going to be a long conversation. Let's postpone it.

Means you knew, yes?

I didn't know a thing.

Even if the photo was fake, there were reasons to do it.

We will certainly talk about this later.

Don't do anything stupid before we clear the air.

Are we going to play hide and seek every time?

You wanted to tell me something?

Why are you so nervous all the time, Adriusha?

It causes illnesses. Calm down.

You want a sandwich?

I see, you don't want one.

Okay, Sofia Tymchuk

is most likely a granddaughter of Danila Izyaslavsky,

Korolenko's friend.

They'd started a business together in the '90s.

Afterwards, Danila was blown up in his own car.

What an unexpected coincidence.

After the death of Izyaslavsky, Korolenko took his son Roman.

He raised him as his own,

but the guy ran away when he was 17.

A freelance artist, a rolling stone.

Then he had a daughter.

Well, the granddaughter of this Danila Izyaslavsky, obviously.

Where the daddy disappeared after that, it's unknown.

I'll let you know if I find anything else.

Will this work?

Over there, put it in the case.

You promised to tell me who I am

and why your girlfriend thinks I am a princess and an heiress.

To be honest, I don't know it exactly myself.

Who knows? Your grandpa?

Yes, my grandpa. It's likely.

Listen, I want you to take me to him right now.

I need to find everything out. Perhaps he knew my father.

Have you thought about it well?

Come on, will he eat me?

Yes, he will. You don't know my grandfather.

- Okay, let's go. - Where to?

Well...

Again.

Sir, I swear, it's not my fault.

Whose fault is that you are clumsy?

You are not getting paid this month.

I heard that slavery was abolished.

Am I a slave owner?

You are fired!

Sorry, mate, I wanted to help.

Well thank you.

Damn.

Are those people who I think they are?

Yes, they are the people you were dreaming of so badly.

Now you can ask all your questions.

Sofia?

I'm Yuriy Korolenko. A friend of your grandfather.

Sofia. Sofia Tymchuk.

Come.

Don't you want to explain anything to me?

I'll talk to you later. Come.

- Are you cold? - No, I'm fine.

- Let's go for a walk. - Okay.

My precious Princess Izyaslavskaya,

this day has finally arrived.

I lived up to this day, I'm happy.

My last name is Tymchuk.

No one told you about your real name?

I never asked.

I'm not even sure Mum knows it.

She does.

She got the adoption paperwork done when you were little.

There is your birth certificate somewhere.

You have such a deep knowledge about my childhood.

To be honest, it is scary.

So, I had a friend.

His name was Danila.

We started a business together.

Unfortunately, he is no longer with us

and everything I have has to be split in half.

His family had a weird box of ancient gold coins.

No one knew where these coins came from.

They were simply passed from generation to generation.

How many coins?

Enough to start a business in the '90s.

So here we are, two of us.

Young, half-starved engineers with kids.

That's when Danila decided to sell these coins.

The business started to expand.

Danila got sick.

And asked me to keep an eye on his son,

hence your father.

You knew my father?

Yes. I did what I could.

I paid for his studies.

I even had a job opening on the board for him.

But he rejected everything.

The only thing he was interested in was drawing.

My father was an artist?

Please, tell me everything.

Yes, he was an artist.

I'd tried to help him out in life...

but I failed.

He did what he wanted, avoided me

and said he wasn't interested in business.

What happened to him?

He died.

Didn't Tamara tell you that?

She didn't know.

She said that one day he went out and never came back.

Yes, officially she was no one to him.

Too much information for one day.

I need to process it.

I know a place where you can do it.

On a desert island?

No, in my house. It's your house now as well.

I would be honoured.

Come in.
