THE TERRIBLE
EPISODE EIGHT
THE BATTLE OF MOLODI
Have you been long an oprichnik?
Less than a year.
And I've been doing only
household chores. It's boring.
You should be happy that
your work is peaceful.
I don't want to serve this way!
There soon will be military games
near Rostov.
I'll show myself.
Perhaps Malyuta Skuratov will notice me.
Better if Malyuta
doesn’t notice you.
What that?
I said: 'God grant you, good Orthodox,
courage and glory!'
Thank you, uncle.
And thanks for your work.
Let's go!
Or I'll be skinned.
Give me a son. Or what's the use of you?
And what will you do,
if I give you a daughter?
It’ll be a son. I feel it in my heart.
I think it'll be a daughter.
Well, we'll see whose intuition is better.
- Go eat, or your food will go cold.
- Right.
- Tell me.
- What?
Whatever you want.
What people are talking about.
You, women, like all sorts of gossips.
Don't you like it?
I don’t mind hearing them.
Alright.
Did you hear what happened
in the Goritsy Monastery?
No.
They say that two nuns
had drowned last summer.
What kind of heathen scum would do that?
The oprichniki.
They drowned them and?
The drowned women rose from the depth
and swam against the current.
People fished them out and said that
their bodies were immortal.
One of the drowned nuns
wasn't just simple nun.
She was princess Evfrosinya Staritskaya.
Did you say Evfrosinya?
Did you know her?
I saw her once...
why do we need to talk about it?
There is no need.
If God accepted her,
then she became righteous.
Thank God for that.
Oh my God! Is it another fire?
Let's go.
Wait. How can we leave our belongings?
Wait, I must take the money at least.
Hurry up! Everything
will burn in a moment!
Run! Run!
In the summer of the year 7079
the Crimean Khan Devlet Giray gathered
the great army and attacked Moscow.
The whole city was ablaze,
so many lives perished.
Thousands of those who survived,
were taken captive.
Daria!
Daria!
A terrible disaster has
befallen Russian land,
and the person responsible for it
was blessed Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich.
Did I understand correctly, sire?
- Should I write it down this way?
- Yes.
And after this Khan promised
to return to rule.
And whatever God's willing,
will happen.
Put what we wrote
with the books from my library.
When you finish this,
Malyuta will take and hide it,
so that nobody could ever find it.
Sire, this is your memory.
Books are wisdom.
How can you hide it?
Let me go with Malyuta look over it.
Don't intervene in this affair.
That's it.
I was ordered to do it in a day,
and you’re still dawdling!
What are you doing, impious wretch?
This is how you do it!
- It’s Suetonius!
- This is how you do it!
- Malyuta, don't! Wait!
- This is how you do it!
Malyuta, you’re a rascal! Ah, rascal!
Go away!
- Malyuta!
- Go!
Malyuta, tell me one thing.
Where are you going to take it?
- Maybe in Alexandrov settlement?
- you think I’ll tell you!
No, that would be too simple.
You won't take it there.
Maybe you'll take it to Vologda?
Right! Vologda! Just give me the nod.
I'll understand!
Malyuta, you’re a rascal!
Why are you waffling on about for?
Ivan Vasilyevich ordered
that not a living soul...
And you are a living soul, aren't you?
When you die and when I die,
we'll meet on the other side
and maybe I'll tell you everything.
Do you think that
we'll meet there.
Of course!
If you don't sin in your old age,
we'll definitely meet.
Make way!
Clear the way!
Malyuta! Malyuta!
- Have you no fear of God?
- I don’t.
Greetings, Englishman.
We have no time for manners. Sit down.
We'll talk without a translator.
As I remember, you speak Russian.
May I ask why did you call me, sire?
I have a message for your Queen.
I'm going to talk openly with you.
But swear that you'll keep
my words in secret.
That’s a matter of my honor, sire.
Are you talking about honor now?
Look at you.
I guess you know that
my situation is bad.
It has never been worse.
The Crimean Khan is going to our land.
Do you want to ask the Queen
for military assistance?
Will she give it to me, Englishman?
We both know that it's impossible.
But my sister Queen Elizabeth
must provide sanctuary to me.
Do I understand 'sanctuary'
in Russian correctly?
I want the Queen to protect me,
to give me shelter in England.
I'll gain strength and regain my country.
I just need to stay alive.
We'll take everything back!
I just need some time.
I'm sure that the Queen will have
highest regard for your trust in her.
I promise to leave as soon as possible
and I'll return with an answer.
- Englishman!
- What?
Hurry!
No.
No...
No!
No. No...
Would be good to know what we're burying.
It appears to be books.
- Books?
- Yeah.
Really?
Grimoire, fortune telling...
The Tsar ordered
To hide them from people.
It's Tsar's concern.
There is so much evil in this world.
Call Malyuta!
Tell him that we finished!
Why call me, huh? I'm right here.
Malyuta?
Quiet, quiet, quiet.
Do you have freckles?
Or is it just the light?
- Whose?
- Tyomkin's. Prince Vasily's daughter.
Visit Tyomkin.
Ask him why he sent
me such a frail daughter.
Bring this one to me tonight.
Which one was he pointing at?
I guess at you, honey.
You're beautiful.
There is a Greek fairy tale.
There was once a woman so beautiful,
that they started a war over her.
Have you heard this story?
No, I haven’t, sire.
It was also about the
whole army that hid
inside a wooden horse.
It’s wonderful, right, Nastya?
I’m Ksenia...
Right...
Marry off this girl.
Find a husband for her by the morning.
Sire, it'd be difficult
to do it before the morning.
I'll do it. She'll have a husband.
Sire.
Have you come for confession?
I'll come to you next time.
BAKHCHYSARAI
The Khan is embarking
on a new campaign.
You'll bring us through
the outposts again.
The first time I did it,
Khan promised to make me rich!
He promised me
that I'd live in a palace!
This is your palace, dog.
Khan promised you nothing.
But...
You came to us and asked for the gold.
You told us
that you hate the Russian Tsar.
You told us that he treated you badly.
So be happy.
Very soon there will be no Russian Tsar.
That is your reward.
Why do you need me?
Go the way we went last time.
It's the right path.
No, the Russians already know this way.
We need another.
I don't know.
If you served for voivode Basmanov,
you must know all the ways.
There is one way.
Through Molodi.
There is no fortress or outposts there.
You'll reach Moscow quickly.
- You'll lead the way.
- Yes.
And tell the Great Khan
that I'm his loyal servant!
No, you're not a servant,
you're a slave.
Sire, sextons, and I
can collect gifts for the Khan.
No, leave it.
I should choose it myself.
What can I give him to
persuade him to make peace.
This requires something special.
We got this dagger
during the Kazan military campaign.
These riches are from Astrakhan.
This is a gift from Macarius
for my wedding with Anastasia.
Grandfather's goblet.
My mother showed it
to me when I was a child.
I remember.
It's not gold that is gathered here.
It's the whole memory of my ancestors.
If anything can persuade the Khan
It’s giving him everything at once.
Are you ordering to gather everything?
We'll do as you say.
Ivan the Insignificant.
Ivan the Accursed.
I didn't find the gift for Khan here.
Gunpowder and bullets -
that’s what my gift to him shall be.
Get ready for war.
According to the report,
the Khan has 40,000 cavalry.
And the Ottoman Khan has sent him help -
20,000 infantry,
cavalry and janissaries.
Who will be chosen
as the voivode, sire?
Vorotynsky.
But Vorotynsky is in prison
at the moment.
- He's a traitor.
- I don't remember him being on trial.
- Vyazemsky again?
- Basmanov, sire.
But Vorotynsky's affairs
were really dirty, I guess.
Let it be.
Prince Shevyryov is skilled voivode.
He was executed long ago, sire.
- Who ordered it?
- I don't know. It was before me.
Who’s left then, eh?
With experience.
Do you need the experienced ones?
- What's wrong with you?
- Nothing, sire.
There’s Ryazan governor Zhukov-Samolva
and Khvorostinin.
Call Samolva from Ryazan.
He'll be the head
of the advance regiment.
Khvorostinin will lead the
right hand flank regiment.
Kolychyov head
up the watch regiment.
- Is he alive?
- Yes, sire.
Who'll lead the main regiment?
We must first put
the main regiment together.
Write the first one
to the Don Cossack army.
The second one to
all free Cossacks.
The Great Tsar, Ruler of All Rus'
calls his servants to war.
Hereby the order is issued for you
to gather your army
and head to Moscow forthwith!
Shchelkalov!
Go to the Germans.
You'll buy
the required mercenary army.
They must give us
as many hirelings as they can.
They also need to have
weapons and horses.
Pay them as much as they ask.
Vorotynsky!
Why are you screaming?
Vorotynsky, come here.
Sire. Has the time come?
Are they waiting on the other side?
I came here not to take your life,
but to offer you a service.
You charged me with treason.
Now it's the time that
I’m ready to tolerate even traitors,
if they can be useful.
I have decided to make you
a head of my army.
Through all my days here
I've dreamed of nothing else,
but of sacrificing my life in battle.
Set him free.
By your leave, sire.
If there is but one person I can rely on,
it's Dmitry Khvorostinin.
He's the most skilled in the art of war.
I remember.
He fought well at Polotsk.
Speak!
What is our first concern now, sire?
Only God knows how the Khan
managed to get through all our fortresses
and outposts last time.
Maybe he’ll find a way
through our defenses this time.
But he doesn’t have more Krymchaks
than last time.
And our army will
be stronger, Vorotynsky.
No doubt, sire.
It’d be more convenient with
the Cossacks and the Germans.
But the Khan still has more people.
We know it without you.
You’d better offer
something more useful!
There is one way. We must force an
action where is more advantageous for us.
Where every mound can help us!
Do we know where the Khan
with his army came from this time?
No.
We have sent scouts
to figure this out, so we're waiting now.
Daria!
- Luka!
- Daria!
Luka...
Luka...
Luka.
Luka...
Lord Jesus Christ, son of God.
Great Tsar without beginning,
invisible and not yet created
sitting on the throne
with the Holy Spirit,
receive the Glory of Heavenly forces.
Sire!
Sire!
Lord Jesus Christ...
Sire, good news.
I knew it.
Krymchaki sent all strong men,
all of us to construction.
To build a new bathhouse for the Khan,
a 'hamam' as they call it.
But they didn’t think this through.
The rocks are very heavy.
It's easy to smash someone’s head with it.
So, we did and we escaped.
Well... Almost everyone was killed.
The three of run to the heath.
I don't know what happened to the
other two. We got out separately.
So, what are you saying?
That you're such a strong man,
that you could come here from
the Khan's palace on foot?
No.
I stole a horse.
It died.
Then I caught another one
in the heath. It died, too.
- I took the third one, it was easy. I...
- Enough.
Talk about the matter at hand.
Sire.
There is a traitor in the Khan's camp.
He's one of the oprichniki.
Malyuta, you know him.
You cut off all his fingers.
He showed them the way last time.
And he's going to guide them now.
Do you know what way he'll take them?
Through Molodi.
Malyuta, you said, you know this man.
- Can we trust him?
- Yes.
He has no reason to make it up.
With your permission, sire?
We need to hit the Khan's army
in the back.
The main regiment should
make a detour.
And we need to entice Krymchaki
toward the wagon-fort.
They'll draw them in, until
our cavalry arrives at the rear.
A lot of them, if not all,
will perish in the wagon-fort.
There's no other hope.
- I'm ready to go there myself.
- Then it’s decided.
Vorotynsky and the main regiment
will cut off the Khan's rear.
Khvorostinin and you, Samolva,
will stay in the wagon-fort. Go.
I recognized you.
I served as an oprichnik, sire.
You were in Adashev's service.
You disappeared when Adashev died.
Right.
How did you become an oprichnik?
Through deceit.
And I changed my name.
It’s all my fault, sire.
What's your real name?
Luka Bondarev.
The man who sought to obtain service
through deception deserves to die.
But let Luka Bondarev
continue to serve the Tsar.
I am giving you back your name.
This is my will.
Bogdan!
You're a strange man, Luka Bondarev.
Another man would want
to get money for this heroism.
But you just asked to go to war.
What would you have chosen?
I have just one request.
I want to stay in the wagon-fort.
The Queen is ready to receive
her sovereign brother
and protect him from harm.
Well.
Convey my gratitude to the Queen.
You can do this yourself.
My ship is waiting for you
in the Ivangorod.
Why is it waiting for me?
What?
Our previous conversation.
What conversation?
I don't know
what you thought up for yourself.
That the Queen invites me brings me joy.
So, I'm telling you, please
convey my gratitude to her.
Did you hear me?
I'll do as you asked, sire.
I'll do it.
It's impossible! No one could know
that I'd will lead you this way!
Great Mirza, there's
news from the watchmen.
The Russian army had got
around the back and stands behind us.
They have constructed
a wagon-fort just ahead.
How did they know, Great Mirza?
Only by chance!
Everything was kept secret!
How many people do they have?
Who is their leader?
Voivode Vorotynsky.
They have much fewer people
than we do, Great Mirza.
But they stand on both sides.
Don't be angry with me, Mirza!
I am not at fault!
It looks like there is
a traitor in your camp!
We sent for the priest.
Order to bring me the key to the crypt.
My dove!
Nastya! Nastya!
I have committed a lot of sins.
And even the prayer will not rid me of them.
I know if you had been here,
you would have protected me.
And you'd have protected
me from darkness,
and guided me away from sin.
You were the only one
who could?
I stopped counting the deaths
long ago, Nastya!
I don't remember a lot of the names.
I saw betrayal everywhere!
And I don't know
about my brother.
A furious beast lives inside of me.
I can't prevail over it,
while the fear of God lives in me.
I'm begging for one thing.
That God doesn’t make
my country a land of slaves
as punishment for my sins.
MOLODI
It's bad that people are hungry.
And there's nobody to send hunting.
They won't die.
Whose fault is it, if the Crimean Khan
doesn't seem to be in a hurry?
Why are you upset?
Are you afraid?
No, I'm not afraid...
At least her we'll not die in vain.
Aren't you afraid?
Me? No.
If I die, I die.
It's clear that all of us will die.
But what will be next?
We'll have to answer for it up there.
My soul is pure.
I serve his Majesty.
They're coming!
The infidels are coming!
Get up!
The wait is over, guys!
То the battle!
Wait. Wait.
Wait.
Hold fire, brethren!
Let them get closer.
Fire!
Gunpowder! Gunpowder!
Close from the right side!
Lord Jesus Christ...
There! He's mine!
He's mine!
Vorotynsky!
Vorotynsky!
Our people!
Ours are coming!
Vorotynsky!
Go!
Moscow!
Sire!
Sire!
Sire!
We won! Sire!
Sire, victory!
Sire! Sire! We won!
Sire! We... we won!
Sire!
Khan! The Khan is destroyed!
Sire! We won!
What? You came again?
Who came? Why are you lying here?
I'm tired.
Tired!
I thought you had died.
God protected me.
I thought I had died, too.
Go home, Luka Bondarev.
You can sleep there.
Glory to
all of you:
the great voivodes
and honorable warriors.
You earned a great victory,
saved and protected our country,
as God himself commanded!
God is with us!
Glory to Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich!
- Glory to the Tsar!
- Glory to the Tsar!
We fought well, fellows! Well indeed!
The victory is yours, sire!
It's a great day, sire.
But I'm worried.
Why are you worried? Forget about it!
I'm afraid that your voivodes
begin claim the victory for themselves.
You earned this victory,
but they take credit for it.
How long before the rebellion starts?
Sire!
'It’s not a white swan
taking off for a flight
It’s a young maiden running
from captivity.
A nice horse stretches under her..'
Nastya!
Nastya!
The army of Krymchaki
and Ottomans was enormous,
but it was destroyed.
The Kingdom of Moscow was
saved from incursions,
became stronger and richer.
Sinful Tsar Ivan reigned
for a long time.
He was both of bad and good.
He spread the borders of his lands
from the Baltic Sea to Siberia.
But blood flowed.
Victims suffered in prisons.
But were we the only ones
to have this tumultuous time?
It was a scary time, a rebellious time.
In France hundreds of people were killed
during on the night
of St. Bartholomew.
Oh my God.
It’s said that the kind
ordered the slaughter,
but we don’t know if it’s true or not.
There were wars, uprisings and
executions all over the world.
God, give us different times.
God, give us a new peaceful day...

I'm sure that the Queen will have
highest regard for your trust in her.
I promise to leave as soon as possible
and I'll return with an answer.
- Englishman!
- What?
Hurry!
No.
No...
No!
No. No...
Would be good to know what we're burying.
It appears to be books.
- Books?
- Yeah.
Really?
Grimoire, fortune telling...
The Tsar ordered
To hide them from people.
It's Tsar's concern.
There is so much evil in this world.
Call Malyuta!
Tell him that we finished!
Why call me, huh? I'm right here.
Malyuta?
Quiet, quiet, quiet.
Do you have freckles?
Or is it just the light?
- Whose?
- Tyomkin's. Prince Vasily's daughter.
Visit Tyomkin.
Ask him why he sent
me such a frail daughter.
Bring this one to me tonight.
Which one was he pointing at?
I guess at you, honey.
You're beautiful.
There is a Greek fairy tale.
There was once a woman so beautiful,
that they started a war over her.
Have you heard this story?
No, I haven’t, sire.
It was also about the
whole army that hid
inside a wooden horse.
It’s wonderful, right, Nastya?
I’m Ksenia...
Right...
Marry off this girl.
Find a husband for her by the morning.
Sire, it'd be difficult
to do it before the morning.
I'll do it. She'll have a husband.
Sire.
Have you come for confession?
I'll come to you next time.
BAKHCHYSARAI
The Khan is embarking
on a new campaign.
You'll bring us through
the outposts again.
The first time I did it,
Khan promised to make me rich!
He promised me
that I'd live in a palace!
This is your palace, dog.
Khan promised you nothing.
But...
You came to us and asked for the gold.
You told us
that you hate the Russian Tsar.
You told us that he treated you badly.
So be happy.
Very soon there will be no Russian Tsar.
That is your reward.
Why do you need me?
Go the way we went last time.
It's the right path.
No, the Russians already know this way.
We need another.
I don't know.
If you served for voivode Basmanov,
you must know all the ways.
There is one way.
Through Molodi.
There is no fortress or outposts there.
You'll reach Moscow quickly.
- You'll lead the way.
- Yes.
And tell the Great Khan
that I'm his loyal servant!
No, you're not a servant,
you're a slave.
Sire, sextons, and I
can collect gifts for the Khan.
No, leave it.
I should choose it myself.
What can I give him to
persuade him to make peace.
This requires something special.
We got this dagger
during the Kazan military campaign.
These riches are from Astrakhan.
This is a gift from Macarius
for my wedding with Anastasia.
Grandfather's goblet.
My mother showed it
to me when I was a child.
I remember.
It's not gold that is gathered here.
It's the whole memory of my ancestors.
If anything can persuade the Khan
It’s giving him everything at once.
Are you ordering to gather everything?
We'll do as you say.
Ivan the Insignificant.
Ivan the Accursed.
I didn't find the gift for Khan here.
Gunpowder and bullets -
that’s what my gift to him shall be.
Get ready for war.
According to the report,
the Khan has 40,000 cavalry.
And the Ottoman Khan has sent him help -
20,000 infantry,
cavalry and janissaries.
Who will be chosen
as the voivode, sire?
Vorotynsky.
But Vorotynsky is in prison
at the moment.
- He's a traitor.
- I don't remember him being on trial.
- Vyazemsky again?
- Basmanov, sire.
But Vorotynsky's affairs
were really dirty, I guess.
Let it be.
Prince Shevyryov is skilled voivode.
He was executed long ago, sire.
- Who ordered it?
- I don't know. It was before me.
Who’s left then, eh?
With experience.
Do you need the experienced ones?
- What's wrong with you?
- Nothing, sire.
There’s Ryazan governor Zhukov-Samolva
and Khvorostinin.
Call Samolva from Ryazan.
He'll be the head
of the advance regiment.
Khvorostinin will lead the
right hand flank regiment.
Kolychyov head
up the watch regiment.
- Is he alive?
- Yes, sire.
Who'll lead the main regiment?
We must first put
the main regiment together.
Write the first one
to the Don Cossack army.
The second one to
all free Cossacks.
The Great Tsar, Ruler of All Rus'
calls his servants to war.
Hereby the order is issued for you
to gather your army
and head to Moscow forthwith!
Shchelkalov!
Go to the Germans.
You'll buy
the required mercenary army.
They must give us
as many hirelings as they can.
They also need to have
weapons and horses.
Pay them as much as they ask.
Vorotynsky!
Why are you screaming?
Vorotynsky, come here.
Sire. Has the time come?
Are they waiting on the other side?
I came here not to take your life,
but to offer you a service.
You charged me with treason.
Now it's the time that
I’m ready to tolerate even traitors,
if they can be useful.
I have decided to make you
a head of my army.
Through all my days here
I've dreamed of nothing else,
but of sacrificing my life in battle.
Set him free.
By your leave, sire.
If there is but one person I can rely on,
it's Dmitry Khvorostinin.
He's the most skilled in the art of war.
I remember.
He fought well at Polotsk.
Speak!
What is our first concern now, sire?
Only God knows how the Khan
managed to get through all our fortresses
and outposts last time.
Maybe he’ll find a way
through our defenses this time.
But he doesn’t have more Krymchaks
than last time.
And our army will
be stronger, Vorotynsky.
No doubt, sire.
It’d be more convenient with
the Cossacks and the Germans.
But the Khan still has more people.
We know it without you.
You’d better offer
something more useful!
There is one way. We must force an
action where is more advantageous for us.
Where every mound can help us!
Do we know where the Khan
with his army came from this time?
No.
We have sent scouts
to figure this out, so we're waiting now.
Daria!
- Luka!
- Daria!
Luka...
Luka...
Luka.
Luka...
Lord Jesus Christ, son of God.
Great Tsar without beginning,
invisible and not yet created
sitting on the throne
with the Holy Spirit,
receive the Glory of Heavenly forces.
Sire!
Sire!
Lord Jesus Christ...
Sire, good news.
I knew it.
Krymchaki sent all strong men,
all of us to construction.
To build a new bathhouse for the Khan,
a 'hamam' as they call it.
But they didn’t think this through.
The rocks are very heavy.
It's easy to smash someone’s head with it.
So, we did and we escaped.
Well... Almost everyone was killed.
The three of run to the heath.
I don't know what happened to the
other two. We got out separately.
So, what are you saying?
That you're such a strong man,
that you could come here from
the Khan's palace on foot?
No.
I stole a horse.
It died.
Then I caught another one
in the heath. It died, too.
- I took the third one, it was easy. I...
- Enough.
Talk about the matter at hand.
Sire.
There is a traitor in the Khan's camp.
He's one of the oprichniki.
Malyuta, you know him.
You cut off all his fingers.
He showed them the way last time.
And he's going to guide them now.
Do you know what way he'll take them?
Through Molodi.
Malyuta, you said, you know this man.
- Can we trust him?
- Yes.
He has no reason to make it up.
With your permission, sire?
We need to hit the Khan's army
in the back.
The main regiment should
make a detour.
And we need to entice Krymchaki
toward the wagon-fort.
They'll draw them in, until
our cavalry arrives at the rear.
A lot of them, if not all,
will perish in the wagon-fort.
There's no other hope.
- I'm ready to go there myself.
- Then it’s decided.
Vorotynsky and the main regiment
will cut off the Khan's rear.
Khvorostinin and you, Samolva,
will stay in the wagon-fort. Go.
I recognized you.
I served as an oprichnik, sire.
You were in Adashev's service.
You disappeared when Adashev died.
Right.
How did you become an oprichnik?
Through deceit.
And I changed my name.
It’s all my fault, sire.
What's your real name?
Luka Bondarev.
The man who sought to obtain service
through deception deserves to die.
But let Luka Bondarev
continue to serve the Tsar.
I am giving you back your name.
This is my will.
Bogdan!
You're a strange man, Luka Bondarev.
Another man would want
to get money for this heroism.
But you just asked to go to war.
What would you have chosen?
I have just one request.
I want to stay in the wagon-fort.
The Queen is ready to receive
her sovereign brother
and protect him from harm.
Well.
Convey my gratitude to the Queen.
You can do this yourself.
My ship is waiting for you
in the Ivangorod.
Why is it waiting for me?
What?
Our previous conversation.
What conversation?
I don't know
what you thought up for yourself.
That the Queen invites me brings me joy.
So, I'm telling you, please
convey my gratitude to her.
Did you hear me?
I'll do as you asked, sire.
I'll do it.
It's impossible! No one could know
that I'd will lead you this way!
Great Mirza, there's
news from the watchmen.
The Russian army had got
around the back and stands behind us.
They have constructed
a wagon-fort just ahead.
How did they know, Great Mirza?
Only by chance!
Everything was kept secret!
How many people do they have?
Who is their leader?
Voivode Vorotynsky.
They have much fewer people
than we do, Great Mirza.
But they stand on both sides.
Don't be angry with me, Mirza!
I am not at fault!
It looks like there is
a traitor in your camp!
We sent for the priest.
Order to bring me the key to the crypt.
My dove!
Nastya! Nastya!
I have committed a lot of sins.
And even the prayer will not rid me of them.
I know if you had been here,
you would have protected me.
And you'd have protected
me from darkness,
and guided me away from sin.
You were the only one
who could?
I stopped counting the deaths
long ago, Nastya!
I don't remember a lot of the names.
I saw betrayal everywhere!
And I don't know
about my brother.
A furious beast lives inside of me.
I can't prevail over it,
while the fear of God lives in me.
I'm begging for one thing.
That God doesn’t make
my country a land of slaves
as punishment for my sins.
MOLODI
It's bad that people are hungry.
And there's nobody to send hunting.
They won't die.
Whose fault is it, if the Crimean Khan
doesn't seem to be in a hurry?
Why are you upset?
Are you afraid?
No, I'm not afraid...
At least her we'll not die in vain.
Aren't you afraid?
Me? No.
If I die, I die.
It's clear that all of us will die.
But what will be next?
We'll have to answer for it up there.
My soul is pure.
I serve his Majesty.
They're coming!
The infidels are coming!
Get up!
The wait is over, guys!
То the battle!
Wait. Wait.
Wait.
Hold fire, brethren!
Let them get closer.
Fire!
Gunpowder! Gunpowder!
Close from the right side!
Lord Jesus Christ...
There! He's mine!
He's mine!
Vorotynsky!
Vorotynsky!
Our people!
Ours are coming!
Vorotynsky!
Go!
Moscow!
Sire!
Sire!
Sire!
We won! Sire!
Sire, victory!
Sire! Sire! We won!
Sire! We... we won!
Sire!
Khan! The Khan is destroyed!
Sire! We won!
What? You came again?
Who came? Why are you lying here?
I'm tired.
Tired!
I thought you had died.
God protected me.
I thought I had died, too.
Go home, Luka Bondarev.
You can sleep there.
Glory to
all of you:
the great voivodes
and honorable warriors.
You earned a great victory,
saved and protected our country,
as God himself commanded!
God is with us!
Glory to Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich!
- Glory to the Tsar!
- Glory to the Tsar!
We fought well, fellows! Well indeed!
The victory is yours, sire!
It's a great day, sire.
But I'm worried.
Why are you worried? Forget about it!
I'm afraid that your voivodes
begin claim the victory for themselves.
You earned this victory,
but they take credit for it.
How long before the rebellion starts?
Sire!
'It’s not a white swan
taking off for a flight
It’s a young maiden running
from captivity.
A nice horse stretches under her..'
Nastya!
Nastya!
The army of Krymchaki
and Ottomans was enormous,
but it was destroyed.
The Kingdom of Moscow was
saved from incursions,
became stronger and richer.
Sinful Tsar Ivan reigned
for a long time.
He was both of bad and good.
He spread the borders of his lands
from the Baltic Sea to Siberia.
But blood flowed.
Victims suffered in prisons.
But were we the only ones
to have this tumultuous time?
It was a scary time, a rebellious time.
In France hundreds of people were killed
during on the night
of St. Bartholomew.
Oh my God.
It’s said that the kind
ordered the slaughter,
but we don’t know if it’s true or not.
There were wars, uprisings and
executions all over the world.
God, give us different times.
God, give us a new peaceful day...
