furnace?
The story tells how a heavenly
angel led three youths
called Shadrach, Meshach
and Abednego
out of the fiery furnace of
Babylon
into which a ferocious heathen
Tsar, Nebuchadnezzar,
had thrown them
Now, there are no such angels
lnnocent, we were flung into
the burning, fiery furnace
lit by the Chaldeans
for having disobeyed the
heathen Tsar
Chaldean! Hey! Chaldean!
What is it?
Is this the Tsar's work?
The Tsar's!
They disobeyed the Tsar?
They disobeyed!
So, we are going to hurl them
into the burning, fiery furnace!
We are given into
the hands of lawless princes
wretched apostates
into the hands
of an unjust Tsar
who is the wickedest
in the world
With her staff
the old lady...
Hands off the Tsar's aunt!
She's Tsarina in her own house!
So she slapped your faces,
you and your henchmen!
I recognize the family
spirit right enough!
Perhaps this is the right moment
to polish off the Staritskys
with one blow
They've opposed the Tsar's will!
It is not for you, Alexei, to
tell the Tsar what to do
Not for you, Fyodor
to raise your hand against
the Tsar's family
No harm shall come to
Efrosinia
as long as she calls herself
the Tsar's aunt
and does not claim to become
the mother of a Tsar
a Tsar who submits to the boyars
As for you, Basmanovs...
learn to keep your place!
And the poisoned goblet...
have you forgotten that?
Be quiet
Be quiet, Fyodor! Don't mention
that grave charge!
God grant it was not she who
was guilty!
Why, shameless Chaldeans
do you serve a lawless Tsar?
Why, bewitched Chaldeans
do you serve a devilish,
blaspheming and despotic Tsar?
Why do you torment us
with fire?
Why do you burn us?
And now, bear witness
to a miracle
The terrestrial lord will
be humbled
by the Lord of Hosts
The Tsar of all the Russias
begs your blessing
I do not recognize the Orthodox
Tsar in his pagan actions!
In what way, monk, do my actions
concern you?
Your actions are those of
a bloodthirsty beast!
Silence, Philip. If you question
my sovereignty
you will incur my anger!
Now bear witness to a miracle
The terrestrial lord will
be humbled
by the Lord of Hosts
Ivan, like Nebuchadnessar,
you cast
those who are close to you
into the fire
But the avenging angel will
descend from heaven
and free them from their prison
Silence, Philip!
Submit to the authority of
the Church, Ivan!
Repent!
Dissolve the Oprichnina
before it's too late!
Ivan... dissolve the Oprichnina
before it is too late!
Silence!
Mother, is that the terrible
and godless Tsar?
Mother, it is the terrible
and godless Tsar!
It is her, Fyodor!
It is her
From now on I will be
just what you say I am!
I will be Terrible!
Philip has been arrested
He's been forbidden to go back
to the monastery
He'll be given a savage trial
He will be condemned
In the old days
they would have handed Philip
over to us for trial
We'd never have let him
be humiliated
It's no good living in the past.
We must find a solution
There is no solution
There is a solution.
Just one
The last
Kill the Tsar
Either kill the Tsar or lay
our own heads on the block
But who will do it?
Only the pure in heart would
be worthy of carrying out
so elevated a mission!
Pyotr Volynets
I consecrate this mission to you
Come, my brothers
embrace for the last time
God's servant, Peter, who
lately dwelt among us
He has vowed himself
to the grave
He will repose beneath
a cold slab
He is entering into the shades
He bids farewell to friends
and relations
He will lie with the dead
He confiscated Church property
We will exterminate the beast!
We must save Philip, because
he has incurred Ivan's wrath
for our sake
That will depend on Philip's
judges
Who will preside
at the Tribunal?
To whom must we
