mere mortals.
You seized a power that
God did not destine for you.
You have undermined
the foundations of Orthodoxy,
despoiled our monasteries
and our churches.
You have sinned carnally, you
have defiled the brides of Christ,
forcing them to lie naked
in the shape of the Holy Cross.
Out with it, blasphemer,
is it true that Father Yakov says?
On your knees!
I'm guilty, Father.
Why did you torment those
innocent souls?
To expiate their sins.
By whose authority do you
commit these acts?
- In the name of the Lord.
- In the name of the Devil!
You have afflicted human souls
with corruption and despair!
You presumed to take the place
of the Orthodox Church!
You cast an evil spell
on the Emperor!
In the name of the Lord I order
you to never enter the Palace again.
Now kiss the cross, the Divine
Gospel, the Holy relics!
Renounce your sin! Make him
sign the oath! With his thumb!
The oath! Give the oath!
Deprive him of his member,
the fornicator!
For your information, it's
exactly ten o'clock. Already...
Yes, yes...
Hello, Miss? It's me.
You got that?
Put me through to the Empress.
What d'you mean, not allowed to?
It's me, Rasputin.
To all of them, I'm a knife
at their throats.
And it's coming... The terror
is coming.
They all want a miracle.
They're splitting me apart.
To some, I'm the New Christ!
To others the anti-Christ.
They're hunting me like a rat.
Why do they hate me?
Who am I, Badma?
You're a lecher, Grisha, a dog.
And you'll perish like a dog!
Terekhov, have you got the car
ready?
There's no more car.
What do you mean?
Your present status doesn't
rate a car.
Stop your idiocy! Crazy lunatic!
I just left him an hour ago.
We were offering prayers for you.
- That's not true!
- What's not true, Your Majesty?
Everything, Madame Vyrubova.
Dearest Holy Mary, comfort me
in my sadness and help me...
I beg you, Alexandra.
I've reached the end of my patience.
The General Staff is in revolt,
the Ministers are complaining.
This starets of yours is
meddling in everything.
I have no more patience!
That's it!
All those scandals,
his brawling, loose women...
Don't believe them, Nicky!
He's our salvation!
The Grand Dukes told me he's
put a curse on the Romanov house.
Lies and intrigue! Those snakes
around the Dowager Empress...
Don't you speak that way
of my mother!
No, don't drive him out!
How can an Emperor drive out
his own people?
And he is the people!
That man is to be exiled
from Petrograd
and never to come back here!
That's the end!
O Lord! It's all over.
That's the end.
I must go away
ragged and alone to my land.
Do not abandon, O Lord,
their nest and keep it safe,
especially the little fledgling,
the young czarevitch.
Protect him, Lord,
and the Grand Duchesses.
Bless them and give them
handsome and high-born husbands.
Shelter the Emperor, give him
the vision to reject hypocrites,
support him
in his solitude,
give him the wisdom
and feed him well...
Not disease or famine,
neither war nor pestilence...
The Pharisees shall all burn
in the fires of Gehenna!
Do you hear me?
The Czarina, the martyr...
She's a saint... a true saint...
We'll push back the enemies!
Our Orthodox victory shall go on!
The Seraphs will come!
With their trumpets! O Lord!
What?
Deliver Mother Russia! I've
bartered my soul for her salvation...
Oh Lord! Holy Father!
What is it?
Tell us! What is it?
But... why?
Baranovitchi.
Yes, Baranovitchi.
Baranovitchi?
Baranovitchi! Only what does
it mean?
Shall I take the army to
Baranovitchi?
But our crack units are all
deployed in the Southern offensive.
Baranovitchi is on the Western
front.
Nicky!
Yes! Yes, Nicky!
Yes! Yes!
But this offensive means
a huge redeployment of troops
which to say the least would be
difficult at this time.
In that region, the enemy
has a superior advantage.
M.V. Alexeyev,
Chief of Staff
Then let our fate be in the hands
of Providence.
Your Majesty,
