TV Channel UKRAYINA Presents

THE HEIRESS

You admit that you were behind the wheel during the accident?

Yes.

Why Roman Izyaslavsky ended up in the court?

Did he take the blame?

EPISODE 8

No.

I... I did it.

- Come on. - I've killed a man.

- I've killed a man, Dad.- Shush.

- We will take care of it. - Dad.

I've killed a man. I've killed a man!

Dad, let's call an ambulance?!

I've killed a man, Dad!

- I've killed him. - Quiet!

Quiet, no drama. Shut up!

Listen and remember.

Roma was driving, not you. He was high.

You've tried to stop him, but you couldn't. You hear me?

Are you serious? Who is going to believe it?

Did you hear me? We are heading home now,

- you're packing your things. - What things, Dad?

You are leaving for London tomorrow morning.

Seriously? You want me to leave?

Silence!

Do you want to go to jail for 15 years?

- Get in my car. - Dad, I've killed a man.

I told you to get in the car, now.

That's what happened.

But why Dad didn't try to fight when he was sent to jail?

Why didn't he tell the truth?

Who would have believed him?

Korolenko's word against a word of a hippie.

So Sofia's father died in jail because of you?

Yes.

Forgive me, Sofia. I got scared.

I am really sorry, nothing can be changed.

But I came back to pay for everything I did.

The truth has just been revealed in front of millions of viewers.

Well know businessman, Yuriy Korolenko

may have been implicated in the crime

and the accusation is very serious. The authorities will investigate.

Thank you for your bravery, Vladimir.

I hope that your father's name will be restored, Sofia Romanovna.

We will follow the continuation of this story.

I, Lyudmila Zagroskaya, was with you tonight.

- See you tomorrow. - What a freak.

Asshole.

Andrey Grigoryevich

Colonel didn't show up.

Did you see that?

Did you see that!

Where did another freaking Korolenko come from?

Who gave him the right to talk?!

How will I take this old man down after what his son said?

Damn, I...

Damn.

Damn it. Where have I sinned?

Thank you, good luck.

Sofia, please, listen to me.

Thank you for telling the truth.

It's a pity you didn't do it 18 years ago.

Yes, you are right. I acted like a scoundrel.

I am very ashamed of it. Roman was my best friend.

Why did you speak now after all those years?

I can't live like a coward anymore.

Even my own son despises me.

You may not believe me, but...

all those years, London has been my prison.

- You did good. - Thank you.

Did you know all of this?

No, I just heard it.

Now I get why grandpa wouldn't allow my father to come back.

I am so sorry.

Can I help you with anything?

I doubt anyone can help me.

I need to talk to my son.

Is Yaroslav around?

Yes, I can take you to see him.

Did you ask your father to come?

I did ask him to help, but all this was his decision.

I have no idea how to speak to him from now on.

And what's going to happen to my family.

On the other hand, I am really glad he did it.

And I am sure, it wasn't easy for him.

I assume Yuriy Sergeyevich doesn't know about your visit.

I think he already knows.

Or it's a matter of few minutes.

I can only imagine what's about to start.

Yes, glory spreads quickly.

We should get to the car. Don't pay attention to anyone.

Sofia, after new circumstances,

will you demand a second trial for Korolenko?

Yarik!

- Yarik! - Yarik!

Ambulance! Call an ambulance!

The hell with Yarik and his heroism.

Korolenko won't forgive us for this.

Not us, but you.

Drive!

Boris, your forgery was revealed in Zurich.

You must have known. Why did you do that?

I've been generously paying you.

I've trusted you all this time.

Did you come to pick me up?

I wasn't planning to, but a new situation has developed.

Your son came back to the country.

He told the truth. And he did it live.

So I came to warn you.

You should better get on a plane and leave the country.

Until it is too late.

That's all I can do in memory of our friendship.

Good bye.

Hello.

He's lost a lot of blood.

Prepare the OR.

Quick, quick, quick.

You can't go further. Wait here.

Dad, Yarik was admitted to the hospital number 17.

There was an attempt on Sofia.

Yaroslav covered her.

I didn't think that...

you were capable of that, Yuriy Sergeyevich.

Your lawyers gave me a loophole, I couldn't help but use it.

And you can't come around to teach me.

Everything I do, I do for the boy.

I was like a father and a mother to him.

Yes, you did.

But first you took away his father.

And substituted him later on.

Yaroslav is going to be fine.

He will get better. I know it for sure.

Thank you, Sofia.

Another woman would hate me if she was you,

but you are trying to comfort me.

You know, I have no one closer than Yarik in my life.

Where is Yaroslav's mum?

We haven't seen each other for over 20 years.

Irina was very beautiful.

She was 18 when we got married. Soon Yarik was born.

My father considered this marriage inopportune and did everything to...

We broke up in a few years.

She left me and took Yarik.

And a year later father brought Yarik home.

Together with documents of the deprivation of maternal rights.

Since then Yaroslav hasn't seen his mother.

Didn't he try to find her?

He did.

But his grandpa did everything to make sure he failed.

Do you...

...know anything about my mum?

You were friends with my father.

Your mum died on the day you were born.

That's all I know.

I never met her in person.

And Roma didn't like to talk about it.

Is Yarik alive? Did you save him?

We did everything that's in our power.

The surgery is over. He will be moved to intensive care.

His condition is stable but serious.

He lost a lot of blood.

I can be a donor. I'm his father.

Yes, very well.

Anechka!

Come here, please.

Take this man to the laboratory.

You should go home, miss. No visitors are allowed yet.

- I will stay here. - As you wish.

How is my grandson? Is he alive?

He was shot twice, the surgery went well, but...

Take me to him.

- Yuriy... - Take me.

Call it off.

So, daughter?

I did everything you asked of me.

However, I didn't expect this story to end so tragically.

Yarik will make it. He is strong.

I really hope so.

What are you going to do now?

I don't know yet.

In any case, my story with the Korolenko family is about to end.

For good.

Our story, Dad.

Do you need a lift?

I will take a walk.

I haven't walked for ages.

Dad!

I love you.

You have five minutes, Yuriy Sergeyevich.

Forgive me, my boy.

I am an old fool.

I was mean to you, didn't listen to you.

I wanted to do everything on my own.

I was afraid I might lose you...

As I lost your father.

To me you are...

...the most important person in the world.

I know you will never forgive me.

But I love you, my boy.

You just live, all right?

Live.

Dad.

Welcome back.

And here are The Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Yuriy and Vladimir Korolenko, please follow us.

Get him up.

Sofia...

Yarik? How are you feeling?

Should I call the doctor? Do you want water?

I am fine.

I have a weird déjà vu.

No, I don't need a doctor.

Everyone I need is already here.

Don't you ever scare me like that again.

- Hi. - Hi.

Any news?

Yarik woke up. The prognosis is good.

- Give me. - Korolenko had a heart attack.

He is in the hospital at under detention.

Dad is testifying.

The investigation is ongoing.

What is going to happen to your job?

I have a new career plan.

I will be learning to cook borscht for my special someone.

A grand plan.

I also was useful.

I went on a short expedition to the historical places of my ancestors

and this is what I dug out.

This is for you.

What is this incredible exhibit?

Is it your best archaeological finding?

Are the journalists on their way?

It's not for the press. Open it up.

It's my grandmother's ring.

I promised her I will give it

to the most amazing woman I meet in my life.

Are you proposing to me, Igor Svyatoslavovich?

Don't you think it's not the best timing?

If you are going to say yes,

the universe will have no choice but make it the best timing.

Then let's do it without too much fuss.

I am sick and tired of this show-off life.

Does this mean yes?

Well...

I can't resist the universe.

What about the borscht?

The happy era does not begin with borscht.

I am telling you this as a historian.

With what then?

"I haven't been to these places for a long time.

"I forgot how much I used to like it here.

"Montmartre, according to locals,

"is the last village left in Paris.

"And I ended up there almost by accident.

"I stopped at a square outside Sacré-Coeur,

"ordered a coffee and a croissant

"in a bar called The Little Chaffinch

and sat at a table on the street."

The Little Chaffinch.

A great name for a bar.

- Who is the author? - Joanne Harris.

The book is called The Lollipop Shoes.

Did you see the film Chocolat? It's the same author.

We must visit The Little Chaffinch.

You don't mind to snack on croissants?

Not at all.

But we can imagine it right now.

I always do that. Allow me.

- Here is your croissant, Monsieur. - Merci.

And here is your hot chocolate.

Merci beaucoup.

And outside...

Montmartre.

There are huge trees.

Napoleon planted them so his troops would have a shadow.

An accordionist is playing the most popular melody.

I can't sing, but you can imagine it yourself.

Here we have a little cabaret. Op, op.

And here is a girl selling ice cream.

Do you want one?

- Of course. - Then, here you are.

Does it hurt, Yarik?

Does it hurt so bad, Yarik?

No, it's fine now.

I forgot for a moment I am in the hospital.

Your story makes me want to go travelling.

Have you been to Paris?

I was there in my dreams.

But in truth I haven't been outside Odessa.

I was very busy, you know.

But now you have a lot of free time.

Come here.

We will surely visit Paris.

We'll visit The Little Chaffinch so you could have a hot cacao.

This is our turn...

to triumph.

Korolenko is in jail

and I am a Don Quixote of our times.

The voters...

will cry their eyes out.

The story of how Korolenko slandered me and tried to destroy me,

so I wouldn't tell the whole world about his crimes.

But the justice has triumphed.

Yes, I am really happy for you.

What goes around, comes around.

Yes, I will finally win these elections.

And we will live off the fat of the land.

I really hope so.

Can I hold you up for another moment?

What's up?

We have a visitor.

Good afternoon.

I really don't want to ruin your party, but this is for you.

Read it.

What is this?

Copies of documents of all your financial crimes

over all the years of our common, pleasant cooperation.

It should be enough to send you to prison for like 8 years.

The Attorney General has the originals.

Vladik, is this...

another bad joke of yours?

No.

This is a farewell greeting from Yuriy Korolenko.

My colleague and I can drop you off at the prosecutor's office.

A confession will knock you off for a year or two.

Are animals allowed in this hospital?

It's not an animal. It's my best friend.

Best friend?

Should I be jealous?

It's the only thing I have of my dad.

I remember that day very well.

When after a long absence...

he returned smiling radiantly and gave me this toy.

It's weird. I don't remember his face,

but I do remember his smile.

He said that the teddy bear's name is Svirid.

And we went to the park and rode on all the rides with him.

And we were having a great time.

And then, when he disappeared...

for good...

Olya threw Svirid into the bonfire.

She was jealous of me. Because of her mum.

I fished it out but it was too late, half of the teddy was burnt.

I cried so much.

As if I've lost a dear person second time in my life.

But here it is.

Pretty healthy and doesn't look so bad.

Because it was very important for me to save it.

I stole a new scarf from my mum and sewed this cap.

To cover the burnt part of his face and ear.

I made him a new back, here.

Since then, I didn't allow anyone to hurt him.

So don't you worry, I have medical expertise.

And you will get better soon.

And everything will be fine.

A month later.

That's it, Sasha!

You are mine in grief and joy, in happiness and trouble!

Careful, don't drop me.

Never! I'll never let you go.

Me too.

Listen, Sasha. I crave for borscht, you know.

Yeah. I crave for something salty.

Sasha.

Yes, Igor Svyatoslavovich.

Sasha.

You have a big property, Vasya.

And you keep it in order, well done.

Borya, are you planning to retire?

Remember you told me we will meet once you retire?

No time for hunting because you are so busy with work.

You won't believe it.

I wanted to go for a walk in the woods,

didn't wait for retirement.

I quit.

No way? No one quits a job like that.

Or troubles?

Korolenko wouldn't let you go.

Haven't you heard anything?

You are a lucky man.

You live here in the backwoods with no troubles.

Korolenko is under investigation.

I am a witness. The trial is soon.

Seriously?

Korolenko allowed this to happen?

The times are different.

As well as the circumstances.

Maybe I...

should buy a house, somewhere near you.

Hide in the backwoods from everybody.

Sure.

I can look for something for you.

For a reasonable price.

Or you need a place no Korolenko could find you?

Borya,

we have been friends forever.

Can you tell me the truth?

You know I'm afraid.

For shame! And I'm afraid of Korolenko,

despite him being in the detention.

He did not touch me. Yet.

Either because I served him faithfully for many years,

or because I didn't know much.

I'm afraid for Sasha as well.

I'll live here alone with nature for a while.

I will think everything over.

It's mine.

They won't let me see him.

They say he doesn't want it himself.

Did you see him?

We see each other here more often than we ever did in the past 18 years.

He is better now.

Still stubborn as hell.

He hasn't learnt the words, I'm sorry.

Well, I would have never thought I...

would visit my father and grandfather in a place like this.

It's not easy.

You might not believe it, but I'm relieved.

I've been isolated for so many years,

with a burden on my chest and all of a sudden...

It's been released.

It's not easy to tell the truth.

But life the way I was living was even more difficult.

Thank you for listening to me.

If you don't forgive me, at least I have a hope.

You know, Dad, I hated you my all childhood.

It's difficult to live knowing your parents have left you.

Later on I grew up and...

...completely cut you out of my life.

Yeah, there is a man in London who calls every now and then.

For the sake of decency asks me about school.

I still can't wrap my head around all of this.

Give me time.

Yarik...

I am a coward, and once acted like one big time,

but I want you to know you are the most important person in my life.

And also...

Your mum loved you very much as well.

Yeah, very much.

She signed the renouncement with ease.

Grandpa probably offered her money and the love was gone.

I don't know if you ever want to find out what really happened,

but here is her address.

I found her.

I had no peace when I saw the renouncement.

I secretly looked for her and found her.

So you know where she is.

And you can meet her if you want.

I didn't have the courage.

Who would have thought our Tarasik will get such a job, Olka.

A chef in the restaurant. They are even giving him an apartment.

Mum, it's too many! It's not like we are going to the North pole.

We can get tomatoes in a store, you know.

Olya, everything in the store is full of GMOs.

And this is all natural, from your mum's garden, homemade.

Do you need salt?

Mum, come one, no.

To sprinkle the roads.

Are you sure you have taken just the essentials, Olya?

It's the half. I'll bring the rest later.

Let's sit before we hit the road, shall we?

Sure.

Did you take the ionizer?

Yes.

The tourmaline belt?

Mum, do you want to move in with us with all your stuff?

I would move in there as who?

I like things to be the right way.

The hunter is ours, the sable weaver is yours.

Where is that "I'm asking for your daughter's hand, Madam?"

"Mummy, do you want to have a son-in-law?"

Tamara Davydovna, I am all in.

Mum, don't rush things.

First, we have to move in together, settle down, take roots so to say.

That's all you think about taking roots.

Look after your clothes when they're spick and span,

and after your honour when you are a young man, Olya.

The folk wisdom has begun. Let's get going.

Tamara Davydovna, once we settle in, we'll definitely invite you over.

Don't forget the jars.

Do you know that you must keep the word you give?

Come over the weekend, I'll make favourite coulibiac.

We have plans for the weekend, Mum.

Do you remember Aunt Tania's birthday on the 14th?

She is turning 50.

I think Aunt Tania will survive without us.

What kind of person are you?

- All right, I love you. - Love you too.

- Take care of yourself, all right? - I will.

Thank you for everything, Tamara Davydovna. See you!

Good luck.

Are you waiting for me, beautiful?

No, I wasn't expecting you.

Did your schedule change?

You can say so.

Why are we sad?

My little birds have left the nest.

I am left all alone, Leshenka.

Looks like I am on time.

I need to talk to you, Tamara.

To talk, you say?

All right, tell me.

Do you want to change the hotel?

You got bored with our junior suite?

Yes, I did.

I want to move to the royal suite.

Where lives the Queen Tamara herself.

Well, wishing has no effect.

Don't interrupt me, woman.

I'm already doing my best.

Well...

I'm stuck on you, Toma.

I think about you all the time.

I miss you.

We live only once. So I've decided...

Considering our age.

Long story short,

I am here for good, Tamara.

I don't quite understand.

What about your wife and son?

I've dealt with my wife already.

It appears like she wasn't too upset.

Kolka is big now, he will understand.

So?

Can I book a room here for the rest of my life?

Let's take a look.

Don't get too excited though.

You will be on a trial period.

Don't you worry.

The best wine comes out of an old truck.

Vessel, Lesha. It's vessel.

Doesn't matter.

I will be right back.

Are you leaving already?

This is for you.

So, let's go inside?

Oh you...

Taking the fortress from the inside.

Come in, Yaroslav Vladimirovich, have a seat.

Yuriy Sergeyevich will come in a little while.

How is he feeling?

He is under the supervision of doctors.

Ours and his.

We don't take our eyes off him after the collapse.

But everything is fine.

He is a strong old man.

And of course, the conditions of stay are special.

Yes, he is strong.

Don't scare my grandson, Efimych.

Can you give us a moment?

Why are you so stubborn, Yarik?

You were told you can't see me.

But you keep coming back.

Have a seat.

Tell me.

Tell you what?

Why you didn't want to see me?

I don't want you to see me old, sick.

But I'm better now.

How are you? How is the wound?

Well, I know. Pasha gives me a daily update.

It's fine. It's healed.

Listen I…

I can work on getting you out of here.

I've already consulted, there is a home arrest option.

Yarik, Yarik, don't fuss, relax.

I've told this to my lawyers and I'll tell you.

Everything is fine.

I'm here, Vladimir is also here.

What else does a father need?

Spending time with my son at the old age.

- Funny, right? - Not really.

Do you know what asceticism is?

A wise person once said that...

it's getting joy out of self-improvement

not out of money making.

I have here all conditions for that. Really.

Everything is fine.

I even have a TV. I am respected here.

At least while I'm under the investigation.

Until it's not clear what the sentence will be.

They are being nice, just in case.

Power and money...

It's nonsense.

Efimych doesn't know I have neither.

I can get you money if you need.

Yeah, right.

You have all the wealth of the world now.

Oh, by the way, how was Zurich?

Everything went without any trouble?

Yes, the deposit is huge.

It's hard to believe this whole story.

Sofia manages the inheritance herself.

Yes, a rich bride.

I'd pay attention if I were you.

I wonder how Sonya will change once she becomes a millionaire.

Why are you saying that?

I thought that you might have changed.

I'm too old to change.

I will live like I lived before.

I've done many stupid things and here I am paying for them.

I loved you. I loved your father.

In a foolish way, but I did.

I love you too, grandpa.

Just know it.

Our meeting has dragged on.

Efimych!

We have a regime here.

I will... I will come visit you.

If you need anything, don't be shy, just tell me.

And given that you have a TV, turn it on tomorrow.

Sofia will be telling how she's planning to manage her inheritance.

So, Sofia Romanovna.

10 minutes before air time. Are you ready?

You look stunning.

I hope no one will get killed by your beauty.

If you are still alive, I'm not that dangerous.

Well, I am an old bird.

Your magical beauty has a healing effect on me.

Let me walk you out, Your Grace.

Good afternoon.

I am Sofia Izyaslavskaya.

Over the past two months,

the attention of the press and television has been riveted on me.

More than I'd like.

And with today's appeal I want to put an end to this story.

I happen to have the blood of an ancient family.

And I have nothing to do with it.

But thanks to my bloodline, I had the honour

to bring back home the huge inheritance of my ancestors.

I am fortunate to manage that treasure.

My mother always told me that there is nothing more precious

than the life of a child in this world.

So it was very easy to make a decision.

Yaroslav Korolenko and I used all this money

to create a foundation to help sick children and orphans.

These resources will be enough to take care of them for many years.

The irony of this story is

that our ancestors will take care...

of the future generation.

That is it.

I hope it is my last public announcement.

Take care of your loved ones.

I could not imagine that one day I will go to Paris.

The limit of my dreams was excavation in Turkey.

What are you talking about? I'll take you to the Antarctic.

You will dig out some mammoth there.

I doubt mammoths lived in the Antarctica.

Well, you know better.

I am a historian, not a palaeontologist.

Aren't you at all interested in what I do?

I don't dig up dead animals,

I do something completely different.

All of this is very, very interesting.

We will have a lot of time to discuss and memorize all of it,

but we will have one more thing to do in Paris.

- What thing? - My mum lives in Paris.

And I want to introduce you to her.

Yarik! You found your mum! How?

Dad helped.

But I haven't talked to her yet.

So we will have to get to know each other together.

I am sure she will like you.

I am so happy for you, Yarik.

I'm also glad that there will be no more secrets in our life.

We will be writing a new story ourselves.

A clean start.

Yes, given that we have a historian here.

And a diplomat.

And two suitcases, and tickets. Let's go, or we'll be late.

Yarik... but I've never taken a flight.

I think I am scared.

You are scared?

Do you want me to give you a piece of my courage?

Yes!

Are you still scared? Will you get on the plane?

So why are we standing here? Let's get going or we will be late.
