00:11:14,091 --> 00:11:18,011
I was looking up at the sky
and a star exploded,
178
00:11:18,011 --> 00:11:21,765
and as I watched it, an idea formed.
179
00:11:21,765 --> 00:11:23,433
[muffled]
I'll fucking kill you, you cunt.
180

Hear me out and try not to interrupt.

00:11:26,228 --> 00:11:32,025
This borderland, Swedish vibe,
Russian land, uninhabited.
182
00:11:33,777 --> 00:11:37,030
I could set up here, my own kingdom.
183
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:41,952
No one dies, we start a nation
from scratch, and we call it...
184
00:11:44,288 --> 00:11:46,290
Hugoland.
185
00:11:48,667 --> 00:11:49,877
Okay, thoughts.
186
00:11:51,253 --> 00:11:54,047
I'm gonna shoot you in your eyes,
ball bag, and nostrils.
187
00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:56,383
Okay, because you're a selfish man,
188
00:11:56,383 --> 00:11:59,469
I understand I need
to appeal to that side of you.

we build an amazing palace,
193
00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:14,067

194
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:17,696
in your own land with Agnes astride you.
195
00:12:17,696 --> 00:12:22,701

in a vigorous vise of velvet, my friend.

she just holds you in this look

"One day, I'll kill while we do this."

The Divorce Office opens,
and I am tired of sitting.
356
00:21:50,853 --> 00:21:52,396
Bring your plates if you wish.
357
00:21:53,105 --> 00:21:54,273
Again.
358
00:21:54,273 --> 00:21:56,149
[music resumes]
359
00:22:03,574 --> 00:22:05,200
We so loved this song.
360
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,287
- Hmm.
- Shh! Both of you, so I can listen.
361
00:22:08,287 --> 00:22:09,454
Huzzah to the Empress!
362
00:22:09,454 --> 00:22:10,747
Huzzah!
363
00:22:10,747 --> 00:22:13,083
They love you.
You have freed them.
364
00:22:13,083 --> 00:22:14,668
Thank you, Empress.
365
00:22:14,668 --> 00:22:17,504
Releasing so many from unhappiness.
366
00:22:17,504 --> 00:22:20,924
I mean, think of the bitches
people are tied to.
367
00:22:25,179 --> 00:22:28,557
Ladies and gentlemen of the court,
it is a great day.
368
00:22:28,557 --> 00:22:30,893
We now have freedom from our ties.
369
00:22:30,893 --> 00:22:34,605
If one is unhappily married
in a violent coupling...
370
00:22:35,981 --> 00:22:39,109
you now do not have to bludgeon
the other to death with a rock,
371
00:22:39,109 --> 00:22:41,695
but to merely fill in a form
in triplicate
372
00:22:41,695 --> 00:22:45,449
and tie it with a ribbon
and the bind is dissolved.
373
00:22:47,075 --> 00:22:48,619
Huzzah?
374
00:22:48,619 --> 00:22:50,537
Huzzah!
375
00:22:53,415 --> 00:22:55,292
[softly] I miss my husband.
376
00:22:57,628 --> 00:23:00,756
My shocked heart
seems to not want to beat.
377
00:23:05,636 --> 00:23:06,845
Uh...
378
00:23:08,388 --> 00:23:11,850
But beat it shall, for you are my love,
379
00:23:11,850 --> 00:23:14,394
my fate, my destiny,
380
00:23:14,394 --> 00:23:16,522
and, uh...
381
00:23:17,314 --> 00:23:19,775
so, it's open, the office.
382
00:23:21,109 --> 00:23:22,611
[indistinct chatter, shouting]
383
00:23:29,117 --> 00:23:31,411
[arguing continues]
384
00:23:35,666 --> 00:23:38,836
Oh, George, um,
give one to Grigor for me, will you?
385
00:23:38,836 --> 00:23:41,296
Or do you want to retain your dignity
and do it yourself?
386
00:23:42,464 --> 00:23:43,632
He and I--
387
00:23:43,632 --> 00:23:45,217
"Had our language," blah blah blah.
388
00:23:45,217 --> 00:23:46,927
Ooh! Sh-- Oh!
389
00:23:49,805 --> 00:23:50,848
Oh!
390
00:23:58,564 --> 00:24:02,192
I love the sky, looking at it.
391
00:24:02,192 --> 00:24:03,902
Always have.
392
00:24:03,902 --> 00:24:06,280
You see things.
393
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,241
And I haven't looked at it in ages.
394
00:24:09,241 --> 00:24:11,702
Just stopped, don't know why.
395
00:24:13,829 --> 00:24:16,748
Look at that cloud
shaped like an antelope.
396
00:24:17,708 --> 00:24:21,170
- Catherine--
- You can't look and talk
at the same time, George.
397
00:24:21,170 --> 00:24:22,713
Mm, so true.
398
00:24:22,713 --> 00:24:23,922
Fucking hell, George.
399
00:24:23,922 --> 00:24:25,007
Apologies.
400
00:24:26,300 --> 00:24:27,509
No, I'm sorry.
401
00:24:27,509 --> 00:24:28,468
It's fine.
402
00:24:36,935 --> 00:24:39,229
I thought I'd feel something.
403
00:24:39,229 --> 00:24:42,733
Divorce, the love of the people...
404
00:24:43,650 --> 00:24:45,110
a real achievement.
405
00:24:45,110 --> 00:24:47,112
It is.
406
00:24:47,112 --> 00:24:48,989
It will change lives.
407
00:24:50,866 --> 00:24:52,159
[body thuds]
408
00:25:00,292 --> 00:25:02,252
- MARIAL: Oh, shit.
- Good Lord!
409
00:25:02,252 --> 00:25:04,922
MARIAL: I saw her husband
putting in divorce papers.
410
00:25:06,423 --> 00:25:08,383
[thuds]
Shit!
411
00:25:10,010 --> 00:25:11,929
Ehh!
412
00:25:11,929 --> 00:25:16,266
- Get inside or you will be shot.
- But he's left me with nothing!
413
00:25:16,266 --> 00:25:17,601
Now!
414
00:25:19,186 --> 00:25:21,188
[playing Peter and Catherine's song]
415
00:25:26,068 --> 00:25:31,073
Hello. Just checking on the latest
body count from the divorce laws.
416
00:25:31,073 --> 00:25:32,282
Archie!
417
00:25:32,282 --> 00:25:33,909
God's laws work,
418
00:25:33,909 --> 00:25:37,246
and when they are meddled with
by man or woman,
419
00:25:37,246 --> 00:25:39,790
unintended consequences erupt.
420
00:25:39,790 --> 00:25:41,542
Not a good time.
421
00:25:41,542 --> 00:25:43,710
There will be some casualties
to progress.
422
00:25:43,710 --> 00:25:46,046
It's not just the death toll,
though, is it?
423
00:25:47,089 --> 00:25:48,298
What do you mean?
424
00:25:48,298 --> 00:25:51,218
Ah, there you are. Shall we walk?
425
00:25:53,303 --> 00:25:54,888
Alone.
426
00:25:57,224 --> 00:26:01,687
[indistinct chatter]
427
00:26:02,271 --> 00:26:06,733
Empress,
welcome to the Marriage Market.
428
00:26:06,733 --> 00:26:08,610
I know it is probably too soon for you,
429
00:26:08,610 --> 00:26:12,823
but all these old men
with massive estates, it is a boon for us.
430
00:26:12,823 --> 00:26:15,784
They are pathetic
and grateful and will die soon.
431
00:26:15,784 --> 00:26:18,078
It is a win for the women of Russia.
432
00:26:18,078 --> 00:26:20,747
- That is--
- Brilliant, I know.
433
00:26:20,747 --> 00:26:22,875
You finally did something right.
434
00:26:23,500 --> 00:26:27,212
There is the matter of estates,
of women left with nothing.
435
00:26:27,212 --> 00:26:29,756
I'm not interested in that.
I'm not interested in that.
436
00:26:29,756 --> 00:26:31,466
[sighs] Right.
437
00:26:31,466 --> 00:26:34,636
You meant well.
Your heart, as always, is good.
438
00:26:34,636 --> 00:26:37,055
My heart is black and dead.
439
00:26:37,055 --> 00:26:38,473
Of course.
440
00:26:39,266 --> 00:26:40,809
Look at Raskolvy.
441
00:26:40,809 --> 00:26:43,812
He divorced his wife this morning,
remarried in the afternoon,
442
00:26:43,812 --> 00:26:47,900
divorced her just before dinner,
and is now back for more.
443
00:26:47,900 --> 00:26:49,401
God.
444
00:26:49,401 --> 00:26:50,819
A mess.
445
00:26:50,819 --> 00:26:52,988
Unintended consequences.
446
00:26:52,988 --> 00:26:57,409
Don't speak to me
of unintended consequences.
447
00:26:57,409 --> 00:27:00,454
I know about unintended consequences...
448
00:27:01,997 --> 00:27:03,832
because Sweden.
449
00:27:03,832 --> 00:27:04,958
What?
450
00:27:04,958 --> 00:27:08,086
I could've said anything else,
any other words.
451
00:27:08,086 --> 00:27:10,464
Salt bath, otter spit, Irish stew,
452
00:27:10,464 --> 00:27:15,052
hurt me, love me, kiss me, forget all,
453
00:27:15,052 --> 00:27:18,222
touch me, hit me, shoot me.
454
00:27:20,140 --> 00:27:22,017
Love you with every sinew
455
00:27:22,017 --> 00:27:26,104
and one day it will hurt all over
to never touch you again...
456
00:27:30,275 --> 00:27:31,568
to never...
457
00:27:39,952 --> 00:27:42,496
to never feel our eyes meet
and inflame me.
458
00:27:44,122 --> 00:27:47,793
To never hear an inane thought
that somehow made my blood sing...
459
00:27:48,961 --> 00:27:53,006
"Don't go, don't leave me,
don't leave me."
460
00:27:53,924 --> 00:27:56,093
More than two, that last one, I know.
461
00:27:58,095 --> 00:27:59,388
I'm sorry.
462
00:27:59,388 --> 00:28:00,848
I could've said that.
463
00:28:01,932 --> 00:28:03,016
Go rest.
464
00:28:03,016 --> 00:28:04,643
Could've said that.
465
00:28:04,643 --> 00:28:09,439
You're too weak with grief to be
managing something so incendiary.
466
00:28:09,439 --> 00:28:12,442
You need to rescind
the divorce proclamation,
467
00:28:12,442 --> 00:28:15,237
go lie in a dark room, eat peaches,
468
00:28:15,237 --> 00:28:17,489
and wait for God to heal you.
469
00:28:17,489 --> 00:28:18,532
Peaches?
470
00:28:18,532 --> 00:28:23,495
I ate 40 peaches a day for a month
when Fat Mother died.
471
00:28:23,495 --> 00:28:26,415
Had to get rid of the acrid bitterness
in my mouth,
472
00:28:26,415 --> 00:28:28,667
it made me retch but would not go,
473
00:28:28,667 --> 00:28:31,003
so I needed something sweet to salve it.
474
00:28:31,003 --> 00:28:32,880
Forty peaches a day, though,
475
00:28:33,505 --> 00:28:36,175
I had continuous diarrhea.
476
00:28:36,175 --> 00:28:39,344
Sweetness in, bitterness out.
477
00:28:39,344 --> 00:28:44,224
I believe I literally emptied out
my grief in a cavalcade of peach shit.
478
00:28:44,224 --> 00:28:45,893
And it worked?
479
00:28:45,893 --> 00:28:50,564
Still cry when I eat them,
but, yes, it worked.
480
00:28:50,564 --> 00:28:53,859
Maybe unintended consequences
is just what life deals us
481
00:28:53,859 --> 00:28:56,111
and we must all just bear them.
482
00:28:56,111 --> 00:28:58,655
- Empress--
- I need to lie down now.
483
00:29:04,328 --> 00:29:05,954
I'll just say this.
484
00:29:05,954 --> 00:29:08,916
If we had divorce when you arrived,
485
00:29:08,916 --> 00:29:12,294
you and Peter
would never have fallen in love.
486
00:29:12,294 --> 00:29:15,464
You'd be back in Germany,
flower arranging,
487
00:29:15,464 --> 00:29:17,549
blowing a man called Otto.
488
00:29:18,634 --> 00:29:19,801
Leonora.
489
00:29:20,969 --> 00:29:23,347
Take 40 peaches to everyone
who has been divorced,
490
00:29:23,347 --> 00:29:24,932
a gift from the Empress.
491
00:29:25,974 --> 00:29:28,227
And someone carry me to my room.

493
00:29:36,026 --> 00:29:37,319

00:30:26,451 --> 00:30:27,578
Again.
502
00:30:32,291 --> 00:30:34,543
Out, sad circus. Go on, fuck off.
503
00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:38,046
Why have you shut the Divorce Office?
504
00:30:38,046 --> 00:30:40,048
It's a fucking disaster, that's why.
505
00:30:40,048 --> 00:30:43,886
If they're not jumping out of windows,
they're beating each other up.
506
00:30:43,886 --> 00:30:45,387
Teething problems.
507
00:30:45,387 --> 00:30:47,347
Catherine, you can't stop now.
508
00:30:47,347 --> 00:30:48,682
I can.
509
00:30:48,682 --> 00:30:50,184
I have.
510
00:30:50,184 --> 00:30:51,935
People need this.
511
00:30:51,935 --> 00:30:53,520
You mean you need this.
512
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,273
Yes, I do.
513
00:30:56,273 --> 00:30:57,900
And you said yourself
you have to keep going
514
00:30:57,900 --> 00:31:00,652
or you'll drown
in this pointless fucking sadness.
515
00:31:00,652 --> 00:31:03,322
Just go. I'm so tired.
516
00:31:03,322 --> 00:31:06,074
Divorce, Catherine. Choice.
517
00:31:06,074 --> 00:31:08,285
Fucking choice, which, trust me,
518
00:31:08,285 --> 00:31:12,998
has been a foreign concept up until
this moment for many, including me.
519
00:31:12,998 --> 00:31:17,377
I just can't see a way through,
and what's strange...
520
00:31:18,378 --> 00:31:20,672
I don't even care.
521
00:31:20,672 --> 00:31:22,758
I tried to before,
522
00:31:22,758 --> 00:31:25,677
spent several minutes
trying to dredge it up
523
00:31:25,677 --> 00:31:30,516
from the tiny, laughable bucket
I call my fucking destiny.
524
00:31:30,516 --> 00:31:32,935
I need you to stick this through.
525
00:31:32,935 --> 00:31:35,270
I'm just going to hum the song
if the musicians have left.
526

Catherine.

[humming song]
528
00:31:38,190 --> 00:31:40,484
Look, I get that you are sad
529
00:31:40,484 --> 00:31:42,528
and you feel like your heart
has been kneaded to a pulp,
530
00:31:42,528 --> 00:31:47,658
but you can finally do what you came
to fucking do, what I helped you for.
531
00:31:47,658 --> 00:31:51,828
And I'm sorry that the one thing
I could not do for you is open your eyes
532
