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.
