Grigoriy R. (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Seriya 1 - full transcript
And what about him?
The shopman comes to him and
Says: “I want to marry that redhead.
Her each freckle count for a kopeck”.
-You will be rich!
-Oh! A freckle…
And what did the shopman
Do next?
What’s the matter?
Why are you yelling like that?
What’s the matter?
There’s a man! A man!
-What happened?
-Got drowned, they say.
Let me pass, please.
Jesus!
Rasputin!
Rasputin drowned!
Petrograd July 1917
-Mister Swieten
-How do you do?
-come in, please
-Comrade Swieten
-Hello, Alexander Feodorovich!
-We go back a long way,
Genrikh Ivanovich,
-So let’s get down to business
Without ceremony.
-The Provisional Government
Is literally attacked from all sides
-It’s accused of counter-revolution,
Betraying the interests of the people,
And conspiracy in favor of the Germans.
-I was declared as Russia’s
Main enemy.
-How can I help?
-Genrikh Ivanovich, you are one of the best
Investigators in Russia.
-Thank you.
-As you know, the Tsar and
His family are under arrest.
-Being investigated are a number of crimes
Committed by the Tsarist regime against the Russian state.
-You want me to investigate the crimes
Committed by the Tsar?
No
-The target of your investigation
Is a much darker person.
-I assign you to the Extraordinary Investigation Commission,
Which is to hold an inquiry into abuses of senior officials.
-You will head the department for dark forces activities.
-You are appointed as the chief investigator
With enormous powers.
-Here is the order…
-Dark forces…
-You kidding?
-Not at all, Genrikh Ivanovich.
-Dark forces indeed.
-And who is the target?
-A libertine and charlatan.
An evil genius and symbol
Of the rotting Tsarist family.
You will present to the Russian public
The evidence that this man is a devil incarnate.
-You’ll prove that he, with the help of high-ranking officials,
Entered the Palace and then actively contributed
To bringing the country to this current horrendous condition.
-The public, Genrikh Ivanovich,
Should understand
That neither I nor the Provisional Government are
To blame for what is happening with the country.
-Am I qualified enough for the job?
I have been only investigating criminal cases.
-It will be easier for you to prove
that among other things
This man is a usual criminal, cheat and thief.
Genrikh Ivanovich,
I think this case
Maybe the most important one
In your career.
-But who we are talking about,
Alexander Fedorovich?
-Who is this man?
-Haven’t I ever told you?
No.
-Rasputin, of course.
Poor Russia…
In troubled times, the scum of
Society rises to the heights of power.
I feel disturbed and uneasy staying
Among these people, but…
As millions of my fellow citizens,
I don’t know my fate.
It’s funny…
Everything goes to the dogs,
But this notwithstanding
I am getting down to my business
With zeal.
I can’t work in another way.
As a rule, my job mostly is
to delve into sloppy police reports,
Confused interrogation records,
Illiterate memos
And to fish out a living,
Inevitably sinful man.
As soon as his sins were lined up
Into a chain of facts
It became clear whether
He was a criminal
Or a victim of someone else's crime
Now my task is absolutely simple,
Even primitive,
For there is no doubt
That this man was a villain.
It’s exactly because I admit
That his case can bring a lot of surprises.
THE VILLAGE OF POKROVSKOE TYUMEN COUNTY
You told me the truth?
This is the house of Rasputin?
Exactly, your Honor!
There are
No other Rasputins here.
Every dog here knows Grigory
Efimychi’s house.
Everyone owes him thanks.
About a hundred pilgrims
Are coming every day.
Today is Sunday, so there’s
A mass at the church.
He could have built a stone one
For himself, couldn’t he?
He built a grand church instead!
It’s where all his money had gone.
God rest the soul of the righteous
Grigory Efimych !
Righteous
It seems he wasn’t
This righteous at first.
They say he was fighting, drinking
And selling horses to gypsies, eh?
-I see! I know nothing about it.
Okay. Wait.
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,400
-Good day!
-Hello
-Please, buy pickled apples!
No.
-You want your money?
-Take it, Akhmet
-Akim!
-Hello
-Hello
-Take the horse!
-Gee, gee up!
-Whose are the nags?
-From Pokrovka community.
-How much community asks?
-Three rubles apiece, as usual.
-The headman said: “Six rubles off- it’ll be Okay…”
-5 rubles off.
-That’s okay.
-No bargaining?
-No need.
The headman meant four.
Good for you!
Five rubles off.
Akim!.
-Take her away!
-Daddy, do horses have God?
-Every creature of God does.
-Come on, I say!
-Daddy why is he pulling
Our horse away?
-It’s their horse now.
-I’ll show you.
Daddy, why is he beating our horse?
Look after her, please.
-Up, you skin, Up!
-Hey, guys!
-I’ll beat you to death now,
You bag of bones!
-Hey, guys, guys stop! Hush- hush.
Let me do it.
-Hush-hush, quiet.
-Okay, it’s okay my dear.
-Well, that’s it.
-Take her.
-Look, your Dad is back.
-Well, let’s go to the inn.
-You came here for nothing, mister.
-Our daughter Matryona is in Petrograd now.
-You’d better ask her, not me really.
Still, such is my duty. Praskovya
Feodorovna.
-Where are your other children?
-Mitya keeps his own household.
-Varya must be at the church now.
-How did you know about your husband’s death?
-They announced from the pulpit.
-Why didn’t you go to Petrograd?
-Our constable said
they would bury
Him here, in his native country.
-I believed.
And then it was too late.
-How did you meet with Rasputin?
Well, tell me!
-He was a real daredevil, they say.
-He was roistering, wasn’t he?
-And he had been a law unto himself
Before you put the screws on him.
-True, Praskovya Fedorovna?
-A hard drinker, he once drank
Public money away, right?
He was cheating on you, too
You have had
Enough troubles with him, eh?
Fuck you..
You
I am from Pokrovka!
Come on! Come on!
-Butchered my horse?
-There’s still time!
-Talk to me, Praskovya!
Maybe I’ll tell you something
Important, too.
-What am I to know?
I was one of the firsts who saw
How his body was found
Now I’m investigating his murder
I know who killed him
-Everyone knows who killed the son of God.
Though it’s more important
Why He chose death.
-You are a good woman, Praskovya.
A faithful wife.
You only can’t understand
If you don’t tell the truth, then
Other people will tell a pack of lies.
Get out of here, you demons.
Lord, have mercy.
They keep coming
And sniffing out something
As if I am hiding you here,
Grisha.
They keep looking for you.
As if you are not my husband.
But you’re mine!
Mine
Living only for our children today.
Okay, don’t be angry with me,
Don’t.
I keep praying.
But it’s too hard, Grisha!
Sorry.
I won’t,
Okay, I won’t.
I won’t.
So, Grishka Rasputin sold
That horse to gypsies?
-He did.
-For how much?
How much?
How do I know?
I didn’t see the money.
We all were owing
The horsedealer then,
And we agreed to pay with horses.
But he sent a note that
He wouldn’t write off the debt.
But, on the contrary, will charge us
With higher interest.
Guys got angry. They were
Beating him for three hours.
They thought he was dead, but survived.
Daddy! Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
-What’s up, daughter?
-Daddy, they came wanting to kill you!
For the horse! They will kill you!
-Well, run away from here!
Come on, quick!
-Where is the horse?
-I’ll work off the money.
You’ll work off,
But what about the offense?
We won’t stand any nonsense
From you anymore!
Stop playing God’s fool
And disgracing your father!
-You’re a shame to the village!
-What then? Will you kill me?
There’s one punishment for
Horse stealing and you know it.
What’s the use of talking to him,
Matvei?
He’s unwilling to repent.
-I’ll repent before God!
-Lord, have mercy!
-Ready to pass to God?
-Okay, Good riddance!
-Beat him, guys!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Enough! Calm down, guys!
Enough I say!
-The Lord Jesus! We’ve killed him!
-Shut up!
A cur’s death for a cur.
The stupid girl rushed on me
With the scythe!
This is a great sin, dammit!
Let’s go out of here!
Mr. Investigator, permit me
To ask you
What’s all this in aid of?
Grishka is dead a long time ago!
People ain’t angry with him, quite
The contrary, worship him as a saint.
Nobody cares if he was a horse thief
Or not.
Troubling times are upon us.
The war is on.
People are dying like flies.
Sixteen households are bereft of
Their breadwinners in our village.
And seven guys returned crippled
A basket case, you know.
They live in the community.
Was Grishka a horse thief or not
He’s giving account to God now.
What about us…
-Was he really a horse thief or not?
If not, what was he beaten for?
Matryona...Daugther…
Oh, Lord!
Help me!
Not for myself, I am asking…
Lord,
I’ll go where you say to go! Lord!
Lord, help me!
Stop!
In Grigoriy Efimych’s times,
There were gypsies camping here.
-He loved them gypsies!
-Did he love gypsies?
But they are no longer
Camping, are they?
Villagers scared them away.
Too much trouble, they thought.
I’m the only one left here
Are you a gypsy then?
-Am I nothing like them?
-You are.
I stole horses but got caught
And prisoned.
And when I came out,
Ours were somewhere else.
Listen, my boy.
Maybe you know about that horse
Stolen by Rasputin?
My word!
It’s me who took the horse
From Grigoriy and then sold it.
-To whom?
-Akhmet the Horsedealer.
-That butcher?
-There was no one else.
How much money did you give Rasputin?
-Well, how much?
-None at all.
Grigoriy Efimych didn’t take
The money.
How’d you like that? What an irony
Of fate, rather a cruel one.
Why was he branded as a thief then?
Because of the horse
Which was finally sent
To the same butcher?
Let’s go!
REPORT
Thus, a single fact of horse stealing
Has been confirmed.
Still, there is no evidence that
Any benefit was gained.
From it.
It’s known that after being beaten
He miraculously rose from the dead.
And went wandering
This period saw a lot of events
Details of which I am going to get
In the former police department
Of the county.
FORMER POLICE DEPARTMENT
OF THE TYUMEN COUNTY
We are famous for our honey
Help yourself, excellency.
A question arises: how do you like it?
Your cup is empty
Very delicious, Maxim Fadeevich.
Alas. “Your excellency” is just
A minor official.
Now, don’t tell me that
You are still serving, while
We feel utterly at a loss.
They have disbanded the police,
But what do they get instead?
The devil knows what.
The people’s militia!
Enough to make a cat laugh.
A question arises:
Can I muzzle a certain
Comrade Rascal
Who is brawling under
My very eyes?
Previously I could!
Nobody would say a word.
I think still nobody will.
Your fists are strong enough
That’s right. My fists are famous
Around here.
To tell the truth, I happened
To beat Grishka Rasputin himself
Oh, really? Rasputin himself?
A question arises:
Isn’t it because of him,
This Gishka, you’ve arrived, eh?
Why didn’t you tell me before?
Not used to talk much, you know.
First, I’d listen to what people say.
Okay.
He was arrested in the case
Of the Khlysts.
So, it was when I personally
Muzzled him.
-Greshka?
-Yes, him
However, some evidence
Has been filed:
Grishka has been and gone
And done it!.
There are the cases of the Klysts
And of the murder
Of Antip the Hermit.
Willing to look at everything
Or…
Yes, everything.
Only, if possible, in sequence,
Maxim Fadeevich.
If in sequence, well, then…
It was when he…
I mean Grishka returned
From his wanderings.
I don’t know where he’d been
And what had he done and with whom.
People tell a lot of stories
Our people, you know,
Are fond of such tales.
Well. A question arises:
If one had been a loafer
And a horse thief,
Could he turn into a saint,
After having been
Just tramping somewhere?
They say there were loafers even
Among the Holy Apostles.
Do you believe in God,
Your Excellency?
No.
So, you say, Grishka came back.
From where?
It’s not known for certain
But I have some considerations.
So...
ST. NICHOLAS VERKHOTURSKY MONASTERY,
00:31:43,575 --> 00:31:46,645
Come on, dear, just hang loose!
You’ll be atoned
For your sin, I say.
I can tell you exactly they won’t see
You. No way!
-How are you?
-Suffering from breast pang!
-It’ll pass by itself, I tell ya!
-Is it true? Thank God!
Still sitting, boys?
What an illustrious gathering!
Where are you from?
The Tyumen county.
I’ll be damned!
It’s not exactly near.
Not at all.
My name is Dionisy. And yours?
Grigoriy
Why are you here?
What’s your concern with that?
I’m in the know of everything here.
So, why have you come?
I want to know God.
Oh boy!
You won’t know very much here
But the Father Superior, I tell ya!
-Why are you here yourself?
-Well, you know…
I am a carpenter
But I’m drinking hard, I own it.
Only monks can bear me somehow
They won’t allow me to drink,
When work.
When I have only a pottage
And Kvas after my daily axing,
I’ll maybe atone for a sin
Or two
Look there!
-Bless me, Holy Father!
When the Father Superior is out,
You don’t stand like a lump
But get through to him and ask
To stay overnight with them.
Are you not really hungry, eh?
Well, come on!
They won’t come today.
Who?
What do you mean?
You’re waiting for one
Bringing good news?
-Why won’t they come?
-I don’t know.
But they’ll arrive any day.
Keep waiting.
Who are you? How do you know
About my guests?
A messenger from them
Or a spy?
God tells me.
What else did He tell you?
Your guests are noble.
They’ll do you a great favor.
Who are you?
Grigory, a pilgrim.
Let’s go. I’ll give you a lodging
For the night.
Hey, how about me?
-How about me?
-It’s the two of us.
He is with me. We are carpenters.
The house of worship will shelter
Everyone.
Come in.
Will you, Grisha?
We’re at the church.
Take it away, sinner!
God forgive me!
What a sinner I am.
There’s Antip the Hermit
Living around here.
Many people know him well.
He’s never had any fear of sin
From a child!
Tried all the sins of flesh
Sent to him by God!
-But, why?
-Why?
Just to atone for these sins
Afterwards
And get cleansed.
Do you get it?
Try to understand it boy.
I once visited Antip
He himself talked to me.
After his words, I didn’t drink
For nearly two years.
But then I became
Forgetful of goodness.
-You must visit him again,
-No
I am a gone man.
I’d better drink up what I deserve.
Well, boy, let’s repair
The scaffolding
Until it is dark
He won’t live.
-I’m gone
-Shut up!
God, have mercy on the sufferer!
Give me your kerchief!
Here.
It won’t help.
Wonderful are your works oh Lord!
Will I live?
You have stopped drinking.
Enough of it.
I’m tired.
Let’s go, with me.
Lord God, the Almighty,
Glory is yours!
He is that pilgrim
I told you about.
Rumors, of course, swept the county.
A question arises:
Do you believe it?
-You’re smiling, okay.
-Why shouldn’t I believe?
Another question arises:
How come you know?
The Father Superior is back here
Now again,
In Verkhoturye,
In St. Nicholas monastery,
Banished - out of harm’s way!
He put his foot in his mouth when
He spoke about Grigoriy Efimvich Rasputin, blast him!
Who was already a bigwig then
So, again in these here backwoods…
But when Grigoriy was so favored,
It was the same month
Ha was called to the Synod and given
A parish anybody would want.
A question arises:
Shouldn’t the Father Superior have
Kicked out Rasputin at once?
Who knows? Who knows?
But who was the person
Who so favored him?
Well, as we say here
In the Tyumen county:
Cherchez la femme!
The Father Superior is staying with
Our marshal of the nobility today.
It’s quite close by.
Would I ask him in
For a cup of tea?
You know, Maxim Fadeevich,
Please.
I’ll be glad to meet him.
Cherchez la femme
You say.
I will judge all of you!
God chose me to judge people!
I will judge everybody!
All and each
The day of my judgment’s coming!
-Let’s go indoors.
-What’s your name?
Khioniya Guseva. Come on.
Dear, honey...
No, No, No!
-It isn’t done with us, Not this way.
-With whom “us”?
With us
No, no!
If you stay with me,
I’ll take you to ours!
I’ll tell them about your miracles.
You’ll be our Christ!
No, No. Not right now!
No, no! Don’t!
For shame!
-What’d you want?
-The Father is calling you.
Special guests have arrived
From Petersburg.
Get your things.
I’ll be waiting for you.
There.
Well, Grigoriy
Our dear guests have finally arrived
Grand Duchess Militsa
-and Maid of Honour…
-Without ceremony, Father.
We came as simple pilgrims.
Hello, pilgrim.
How do you do?
We saw you stop the carpenter’s
Wound today.
Why do you wince?
My head hurts really bad.
I’m a martyr to migraine.
Sit down.
Close your eyes.
Pray quietly.
Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Have mercy on me, a sinner,
Heal me…
-Are you all right?
-The pain went off, really!
It’s a miracle!
What’s your trouble, virgin?
What do you mean - virgin?
I’m married!
What’s the use of your husband,
If you’re still a virgin?
Leave him-
Before you’re beaten to death.
He is a bad character.
-I am off.
-Grigoriy,
You should go to St. Petersburg!
It’s where you belong.
-Come with us!
No.
Take the Father Superior with you.
He is a man of great goodness.
It’s a dead-end place for him.
We’ll take him, too, if you go.
You promise?
God willing, I will go.
Anna!
Anna, what’s the matter with you?
Anna!
The shopman comes to him and
Says: “I want to marry that redhead.
Her each freckle count for a kopeck”.
-You will be rich!
-Oh! A freckle…
And what did the shopman
Do next?
What’s the matter?
Why are you yelling like that?
What’s the matter?
There’s a man! A man!
-What happened?
-Got drowned, they say.
Let me pass, please.
Jesus!
Rasputin!
Rasputin drowned!

But it’s too hard, Grisha!
Sorry.
I won’t,
Okay, I won’t.
I won’t.
So, Grishka Rasputin sold
That horse to gypsies?
-He did.
-For how much?
How much?
How do I know?
I didn’t see the money.
We all were owing
The horsedealer then,
And we agreed to pay with horses.
But he sent a note that
He wouldn’t write off the debt.
But, on the contrary, will charge us
With higher interest.
Guys got angry. They were
Beating him for three hours.
They thought he was dead, but survived.
Daddy! Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
-What’s up, daughter?
-Daddy, they came wanting to kill you!
For the horse! They will kill you!
-Well, run away from here!
Come on, quick!
-Where is the horse?
-I’ll work off the money.
You’ll work off,
But what about the offense?
We won’t stand any nonsense
From you anymore!
Stop playing God’s fool
And disgracing your father!
-You’re a shame to the village!
-What then? Will you kill me?
There’s one punishment for
Horse stealing and you know it.
What’s the use of talking to him,
Matvei?
He’s unwilling to repent.
-I’ll repent before God!
-Lord, have mercy!
-Ready to pass to God?
-Okay, Good riddance!
-Beat him, guys!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Enough! Calm down, guys!
Enough I say!
-The Lord Jesus! We’ve killed him!
-Shut up!
A cur’s death for a cur.
The stupid girl rushed on me
With the scythe!
This is a great sin, dammit!
Let’s go out of here!
Mr. Investigator, permit me
To ask you
What’s all this in aid of?
Grishka is dead a long time ago!
People ain’t angry with him, quite
The contrary, worship him as a saint.
Nobody cares if he was a horse thief
Or not.
Troubling times are upon us.
The war is on.
People are dying like flies.
Sixteen households are bereft of
Their breadwinners in our village.
And seven guys returned crippled
A basket case, you know.
They live in the community.
Was Grishka a horse thief or not
He’s giving account to God now.
What about us…
-Was he really a horse thief or not?
If not, what was he beaten for?
Matryona...Daugther…
Oh, Lord!
Help me!
Not for myself, I am asking…
Lord,
I’ll go where you say to go! Lord!
Lord, help me!
Stop!
In Grigoriy Efimych’s times,
There were gypsies camping here.
-He loved them gypsies!
-Did he love gypsies?
But they are no longer
Camping, are they?
Villagers scared them away.
Too much trouble, they thought.
I’m the only one left here
Are you a gypsy then?
-Am I nothing like them?
-You are.
I stole horses but got caught
And prisoned.
And when I came out,
Ours were somewhere else.
Listen, my boy.
Maybe you know about that horse
Stolen by Rasputin?
My word!
It’s me who took the horse
From Grigoriy and then sold it.
-To whom?
-Akhmet the Horsedealer.
-That butcher?
-There was no one else.
How much money did you give Rasputin?
-Well, how much?
-None at all.
Grigoriy Efimych didn’t take
The money.
How’d you like that? What an irony
Of fate, rather a cruel one.
Why was he branded as a thief then?
Because of the horse
Which was finally sent
To the same butcher?
Let’s go!
REPORT
Thus, a single fact of horse stealing
Has been confirmed.
Still, there is no evidence that
Any benefit was gained.
From it.
It’s known that after being beaten
He miraculously rose from the dead.
And went wandering
This period saw a lot of events
Details of which I am going to get
In the former police department
Of the county.
FORMER POLICE DEPARTMENT
OF THE TYUMEN COUNTY
We are famous for our honey
Help yourself, excellency.
A question arises: how do you like it?
Your cup is empty
Very delicious, Maxim Fadeevich.
Alas. “Your excellency” is just
A minor official.
Now, don’t tell me that
You are still serving, while
We feel utterly at a loss.
They have disbanded the police,
But what do they get instead?
The devil knows what.
The people’s militia!
Enough to make a cat laugh.
A question arises:
Can I muzzle a certain
Comrade Rascal
Who is brawling under
My very eyes?
Previously I could!
Nobody would say a word.
I think still nobody will.
Your fists are strong enough
That’s right. My fists are famous
Around here.
To tell the truth, I happened
To beat Grishka Rasputin himself
Oh, really? Rasputin himself?
A question arises:
Isn’t it because of him,
This Gishka, you’ve arrived, eh?
Why didn’t you tell me before?
Not used to talk much, you know.
First, I’d listen to what people say.
Okay.
He was arrested in the case
Of the Khlysts.
So, it was when I personally
Muzzled him.
-Greshka?
-Yes, him
However, some evidence
Has been filed:
Grishka has been and gone
And done it!.
There are the cases of the Klysts
And of the murder
Of Antip the Hermit.
Willing to look at everything
Or…
Yes, everything.
Only, if possible, in sequence,
Maxim Fadeevich.
If in sequence, well, then…
It was when he…
I mean Grishka returned
From his wanderings.
I don’t know where he’d been
And what had he done and with whom.
People tell a lot of stories
Our people, you know,
Are fond of such tales.
Well. A question arises:
If one had been a loafer
And a horse thief,
Could he turn into a saint,
After having been
Just tramping somewhere?
They say there were loafers even
Among the Holy Apostles.
Do you believe in God,
Your Excellency?
No.
So, you say, Grishka came back.
From where?
It’s not known for certain
But I have some considerations.
So...
ST. NICHOLAS VERKHOTURSKY MONASTERY,
00:31:43,575 --> 00:31:46,645
Come on, dear, just hang loose!
You’ll be atoned
For your sin, I say.
I can tell you exactly they won’t see
You. No way!
-How are you?
-Suffering from breast pang!
-It’ll pass by itself, I tell ya!
-Is it true? Thank God!
Still sitting, boys?
What an illustrious gathering!
Where are you from?
The Tyumen county.
I’ll be damned!
It’s not exactly near.
Not at all.
My name is Dionisy. And yours?
Grigoriy
Why are you here?
What’s your concern with that?
I’m in the know of everything here.
So, why have you come?
I want to know God.
Oh boy!
You won’t know very much here
But the Father Superior, I tell ya!
-Why are you here yourself?
-Well, you know…
I am a carpenter
But I’m drinking hard, I own it.
Only monks can bear me somehow
They won’t allow me to drink,
When work.
When I have only a pottage
And Kvas after my daily axing,
I’ll maybe atone for a sin
Or two
Look there!
-Bless me, Holy Father!
When the Father Superior is out,
You don’t stand like a lump
But get through to him and ask
To stay overnight with them.
Are you not really hungry, eh?
Well, come on!
They won’t come today.
Who?
What do you mean?
You’re waiting for one
Bringing good news?
-Why won’t they come?
-I don’t know.
But they’ll arrive any day.
Keep waiting.
Who are you? How do you know
About my guests?
A messenger from them
Or a spy?
God tells me.
What else did He tell you?
Your guests are noble.
They’ll do you a great favor.
Who are you?
Grigory, a pilgrim.
Let’s go. I’ll give you a lodging
For the night.
Hey, how about me?
-How about me?
-It’s the two of us.
He is with me. We are carpenters.
The house of worship will shelter
Everyone.
Come in.
Will you, Grisha?
We’re at the church.
Take it away, sinner!
God forgive me!
What a sinner I am.
There’s Antip the Hermit
Living around here.
Many people know him well.
He’s never had any fear of sin
From a child!
Tried all the sins of flesh
Sent to him by God!
-But, why?
-Why?
Just to atone for these sins
Afterwards
And get cleansed.
Do you get it?
Try to understand it boy.
I once visited Antip
He himself talked to me.
After his words, I didn’t drink
For nearly two years.
But then I became
Forgetful of goodness.
-You must visit him again,
-No
I am a gone man.
I’d better drink up what I deserve.
Well, boy, let’s repair
The scaffolding
Until it is dark
He won’t live.
-I’m gone
-Shut up!
God, have mercy on the sufferer!
Give me your kerchief!
Here.
It won’t help.
Wonderful are your works oh Lord!
Will I live?
You have stopped drinking.
Enough of it.
I’m tired.
Let’s go, with me.
Lord God, the Almighty,
Glory is yours!
He is that pilgrim
I told you about.
Rumors, of course, swept the county.
A question arises:
Do you believe it?
-You’re smiling, okay.
-Why shouldn’t I believe?
Another question arises:
How come you know?
The Father Superior is back here
Now again,
In Verkhoturye,
In St. Nicholas monastery,
Banished - out of harm’s way!
He put his foot in his mouth when
He spoke about Grigoriy Efimvich Rasputin, blast him!
Who was already a bigwig then
So, again in these here backwoods…
But when Grigoriy was so favored,
It was the same month
Ha was called to the Synod and given
A parish anybody would want.
A question arises:
Shouldn’t the Father Superior have
Kicked out Rasputin at once?
Who knows? Who knows?
But who was the person
Who so favored him?
Well, as we say here
In the Tyumen county:
Cherchez la femme!
The Father Superior is staying with
Our marshal of the nobility today.
It’s quite close by.
Would I ask him in
For a cup of tea?
You know, Maxim Fadeevich,
Please.
I’ll be glad to meet him.
Cherchez la femme
You say.
I will judge all of you!
God chose me to judge people!
I will judge everybody!
All and each
The day of my judgment’s coming!
-Let’s go indoors.
-What’s your name?
Khioniya Guseva. Come on.
Dear, honey...
No, No, No!
-It isn’t done with us, Not this way.
-With whom “us”?
With us
No, no!
If you stay with me,
I’ll take you to ours!
I’ll tell them about your miracles.
You’ll be our Christ!
No, No. Not right now!
No, no! Don’t!
For shame!
-What’d you want?
-The Father is calling you.
Special guests have arrived
From Petersburg.
Get your things.
I’ll be waiting for you.
There.
Well, Grigoriy
Our dear guests have finally arrived
Grand Duchess Militsa
-and Maid of Honour…
-Without ceremony, Father.
We came as simple pilgrims.
Hello, pilgrim.
How do you do?
We saw you stop the carpenter’s
Wound today.
Why do you wince?
My head hurts really bad.
I’m a martyr to migraine.
Sit down.
Close your eyes.
Pray quietly.
Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Have mercy on me, a sinner,
Heal me…
-Are you all right?
-The pain went off, really!
It’s a miracle!
What’s your trouble, virgin?
What do you mean - virgin?
I’m married!
What’s the use of your husband,
If you’re still a virgin?
Leave him-
Before you’re beaten to death.
He is a bad character.
-I am off.
-Grigoriy,
You should go to St. Petersburg!
It’s where you belong.
-Come with us!
No.
Take the Father Superior with you.
He is a man of great goodness.
It’s a dead-end place for him.
We’ll take him, too, if you go.
You promise?
God willing, I will go.
Anna!
Anna, what’s the matter with you?
Anna!
