:08:01
Yes, but not my century.
How did I come to be here?

:08:05
I think I saw Peter the Great
:08:07
I hear delight in your voice.
Was it interesting?

:08:12
Yes, very interesting
:08:15
Really
:08:17
In Asia, tyrants are adored
:08:19
The more terrible the tyrant,
the more his memory is cherished

:08:23
Alexander the Great, Timur...
:08:25
...and your Peter the Great
:08:27
You're wrong about Peter
:08:29
He taught Russians
to enjoy themselves

:08:33
A spiral staircase...
Where has everyone disappeared to?

:08:39
I see, but why?
:08:42
What's so interesting up there?
:08:45
You'll see...
:08:48
Peter ordered his son's execution
:08:51
The same man who taught the people
to enjoy life. How funny!

:08:56
I thought you knew
where we were going

:08:59
He built a European city
over a swamp

:09:02
He introduced order
of the most primitive kind

:09:05
- Where do they go?
- But the city is still European!

:09:08
To a party.
But why the back staircase?

:09:11
They were taught to have fun.
So they go to parties

:09:14
And the officer and the lady?
:09:16
- At the party
- Where are they?

:09:19
They've gone to the underworld.
Down, down, down!

:09:23
They are no more
:09:28
Be careful...
The stairs are steep and dark

:09:31
Thank you. I can see
:09:38
Do you see where we are?
:09:42
No, I don't know yet
