Episode #1.4 (2016)

Jim Broadbent: Prince Nikolai Bolkonsky

Quotes 

• Prince Nikolai Bolkonsky : No more war? This peace treaty with France won't last. And mark my words, we'll be fighting Napoleon again before you're much older.

  Pierre Bezukhov : No, sir! We must believe that man is capable of evolving.

  Prince Nikolai Bolkonsky : Evolving? Men don't change! You could drain the blood from their veins and put in water, there might be no more war. You're talking old women's nonsense, sir. But I'm happy to see that there are still a few idealists left on earth.
