I get bored very soon.

Once I puttered over it for a whole

week and finally had to give it up!

And you threw it away?

Why?

Used it to press sauerkraut.

I'm fed up with it up to here!

I've got apprentices galore,

and not one of them is any good.

They can't even read manuscripts.

Listen, will you be my assistant?

Stop joking. Don't laugh at me.

I'm not joking.

I have no one to help me decorate

the Annunciation Cathedral in Moscow.

The scaffolding's been already

erected there. Do you understand?

I understand, but I think I'm not up

to the job.

I'll explain everything to you. Have

you ever painted on raw gesso ground?

Sure, with brains like yours!

Even these fools of mine

can work the brush.

I said no.

Let's not talk about it any more.

Well, as you wish...

But don't regret it later.

I don't forget easily!

I may regret,

but you're doing a wrong thing.

A poor monk came to you,

and you liked talking with him

about books.

So you decided

to do him a great favor.

As a matter of fact, I haven't

touched a book for three years.

And I don't want to.

My path is different now.

- I'm going to die soon.

- Come on, don't say that.

Yes, I'm going to die. The other day,

I saw an angel in my dream.

"Come with me," he says.

And I answer:
"I'm going to die soon

anyway, without your help."

Won't you change your mind?

All right. But on one condition.

What do you want? Money?

We'll split it in half. Is it a deal?

No. I'll be working for free.

But only if you yourself come for me

to the monastery

and in front of the whole community

and our bishop

ask me to come and help you.

With all our brethren present,

and Andrei Rublyov, too.

Then I'll be like your slave,

I'll serve you like a dog

until I die.

- And what is your name?

- Kirill.

The Orthodox people!

Truth-seekers and Christians!

For how long are you going to torture

the villain?

Will there be an end to it?

You're all great sinners yourselves,

but you take it upon you to judge!

Don't you have any fear of God?

The Prince commands you

to come to Moscow.

To decorate the Annunciation Cathedral,

together with Theophanes the Greek.

Is he really Andrei Rublyov?

That's true. He is Andrei Rublyov.

And I'm Kirill.

Theophanes the Greek tells you

to come to Moscow.

He wants to see you.

I thank Theophanes, too.

Tell him...

that... well... I'll come.

My head is splitting!

Bring it here.

You may take with you

whatever assistants you want.

Tomorrow you'll have to be in Moscow.

Is there a smithy nearby?

I'm afraid I'll fall down again.

There's a chapel outside the gates.

Next will be the smithy.

Farewell, God's people!

We could go today, Danila.
