00:00I still say Alexei needs a nurse.
00:04He needs the company of men.
00:06Does he?
00:07He's with you all day long.
00:09You hardly ever come to meals.
00:12I never seem to see you anymore.
00:15My place is where I'm needed most.
00:19It must be hard to have so many people need you.
00:22I'll be patient.
00:25If I wait, my turn will come.
00:28What a mess I make of things.
00:34I meant to look so nice for you.
00:37I meant our last night in Davardia to be beautiful.
00:55Sometimes I wonder how you live with me.
00:57I wonder too, only I know I could never live without you, Sonny.
01:16My decision stands.
01:19I've seen you out of courtesy.
01:21If you've come here to plead...
01:22I came to say goodbye, Batushka.
01:25I'm going home.
01:29I don't like St. Petersburg.
01:32It makes me drink too much, and when I drink, the women come.
01:40Women here are worse than the peasants in my village, with no restraint.
01:48Is Batushka angry with me?
01:51She won't admit you even take a drink, much less...
01:56No.
01:57She believes in you completely.
01:59She is a saint.
02:00Batushka, if you need me while I'm gone, pretend I'm with you.
02:08Say the things that trouble you the way you always do, and that will help.
02:12I only sit and listen anyway.
02:13The voice of God is in you, and no harm will come.
02:15It was necessary.
02:17Why?
02:18Stolypin recommended it.
02:19Our friend warned me he was bad.
02:41Rasputin drinks, takes brass...
02:42bad. Rasputin drinks, takes bribes. he is an adulterer. he's a saint. little men
02:48always abuse them. I can show you the police reports. more little men? people
02:52say he sleeps with you. what do I care what people think? I have to care.
02:57bring him back. I can't. can't you do anything? I am. I'm standing up to you for
03:02once. who's going to save Alexei? we have doctors. damn you and your doctors. what
03:07about my son? I have other important things to answer for. I don't. give me
03:11Rasputin back. no I will not. if baby dies you murdered him. I didn't give him
03:16hemophilia. murderer. I'll never forgive you. you get it to him. it was you. don't you
03:22think I know it?
03:28when I see him bleed I think I did it as if I'd put a knife in him. I've tried to
03:39make up for it. I've seen so many specialists and doctors and surgeons.
03:46sometimes I did not tell you. I know most of them were quacks but I still tried. I
03:56have spent nights on my knees praying and Rasputin's the only one who's helped
04:06me bear my punishment. that's why I cling to this common peasant from Siberia.
04:17they laugh at me in the streets. you have turned against me. I cannot help it.
04:25Sonny. it's me. whatever happens I deserve it. it's my punishment.
04:34it's mine.
