308

Under current circumstances,

309
00:17:01,979 --> 00:17:03,480
we must acknowledge        
          that the process

310

       in the blink of an eye.

311
00:17:05,773 --> 00:17:08,193

00:17:19,621 --> 00:17:21,457

There's nothing simple about it.

318
00:17:28,338 --> 00:17:31,008
A service for the Countess will 
   not be tolerated by the Party.

Vladimir and Yelena Trubetskov

323
00:17:39,016 --> 00:17:40,809
were married in the Church     
       of the Great Ascension.

324
00:17:40,851 --> 00:17:42,478
Yes, and there was         
         more secret police

         burned down in one.

   this isn't the way to show it.

A gathering of the old elite

           It's dangerous.
