1
00:01:29,533 --> 00:01:31,500
Excuse me, my good man. Comrade.
2
00:01:31,851 --> 00:01:33,569
I'm not familiar with this neighborhood.
3
00:01:34,006 --> 00:01:36,400
Could you tell me which is
the Kharkov Times building?
4
00:02:11,195 --> 00:02:12,390
Mr Kalenin.
- Mr who?
5
00:02:12,604 --> 00:02:14,593
The editor. Mr Kalenin.
He is my good friend.
6
00:02:14,923 --> 00:02:16,930
He may have been your good
friend, but he is dead.
7
00:02:17,739 --> 00:02:19,399
How shocking.
- Good day.
8
00:02:19,842 --> 00:02:21,128
A calamity yet.
9
00:02:21,664 --> 00:02:24,151
Who then is the editor in chief?
- His daughter.
10
00:02:24,463 --> 00:02:25,393
Which daughter?
11
00:02:25,698 --> 00:02:27,879
If you knew him well you'd
know he only had one daughter.
12
00:02:28,093 --> 00:02:28,825
Nadena?
13
00:02:29,331 --> 00:02:30,262
Nadena Kalenin?
14
00:02:30,938 --> 00:02:32,325
The head of a publishing house?
15
00:02:33,229 --> 00:02:34,675
Oh, my, my.
16
00:02:35,707 --> 00:02:37,548
Young man. Would you ..
17
00:02:38,215 --> 00:02:40,392
Would you take this in
to Miss Kalenin please?
18
00:02:42,347 --> 00:02:43,188
Please.
19
00:02:43,689 --> 00:02:46,571
I'm an old friend of the family.
It's a matter of great importance.
20
00:02:47,904 --> 00:02:48,758
Alright.
21
00:02:51,651 --> 00:02:52,753
He says he knows you.
22
00:02:55,807 --> 00:02:57,332
I don't want to see this man.
23
00:02:58,522 --> 00:02:59,491
Tell him.
24
00:03:01,602 --> 00:03:04,259
A thousand pardons for this
intrusion, mademoiselle Nadena.
25
00:03:04,871 --> 00:03:05,952
You do remember me?
26
00:03:06,374 --> 00:03:07,266
Of course.
27
00:03:11,332 --> 00:03:12,601
Count Volsky.
28
00:03:13,773 --> 00:03:14,503
Alright.
29
00:03:15,089 --> 00:03:16,983
I beg of you. No longer 'Count'.
30
00:03:17,712 --> 00:03:21,000
Though I bear the Soviets no grudge
for taking my estate away from me.
31
00:03:21,253 --> 00:03:23,101
Or more accurately from my creditors.
32
00:03:23,648 --> 00:03:26,907
Why, things are different
now in 1919, eh?
33
00:03:27,485 --> 00:03:31,052
7 years ago, just a little girl chasing
butterflies on my estate in Tyrneva.
34
00:03:31,334 --> 00:03:32,929
And now an important publisher.
35
00:03:33,754 --> 00:03:34,423
Oh.
36
00:03:35,088 --> 00:03:36,817
Nadena. I was wondering.
37
00:03:37,747 --> 00:03:38,992
That is, I have a thought.
38
00:03:39,588 --> 00:03:41,273
Just a thought, you understand.
39
00:03:41,718 --> 00:03:44,015
That you might be interested
in publishing this.
40
00:03:45,165 --> 00:03:47,670
We have a tremendous amount
of manuscripts on hand.
41
00:03:48,034 --> 00:03:49,165
But this is different.
42
00:03:50,636 --> 00:03:51,867
All authors say that.
43
00:03:52,246 --> 00:03:53,941
You misunderstand, Nadena.
44
00:03:54,376 --> 00:03:55,536
I haven't even read it.
45
00:03:55,775 --> 00:03:58,309
You see, my glasses were
taken away with my estate.
46
00:03:58,564 --> 00:04:01,469
To procure a new pair now .. would be ..
47
00:04:02,235 --> 00:04:03,460
I am not the author.
48
00:04:03,877 --> 00:04:04,886
Fedor wrote it.
49
00:04:07,283 --> 00:04:08,291
Judge Petroff?
50
00:04:09,124 --> 00:04:09,764
Yes.
51
00:04:10,063 --> 00:04:12,891
It is I gather sort-of an autobiography.
52
00:04:13,697 --> 00:04:15,658
About the old days. We are all in it.
53
00:04:16,072 --> 00:04:17,817
I imagine you and I ..
54
00:04:18,523 --> 00:04:20,193
And that girl, Olga.
55
00:04:24,349 --> 00:04:25,137
Very well.
56
00:04:27,505 --> 00:04:28,641
Leave it here and ..
57
00:04:29,832 --> 00:04:30,968
We'll consider it.
58
00:04:31,416 --> 00:04:33,486
A thousand thanks, Mademoiselle Nadena.
59
00:04:34,448 --> 00:04:36,987
You will understand too.
But just between us.
60
00:04:37,396 --> 00:04:40,447
That I said nothing to our Fedor
about bringing the manuscript here.
61
00:04:40,775 --> 00:04:42,683
I understand.
I will communicate with you.
62
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:43,972
Just with me.
63
00:04:44,883 --> 00:04:46,575
There's one other thing.
64
00:04:47,307 --> 00:04:49,031
It revolts me to mention money.
65
00:04:49,294 --> 00:04:50,952
You know, I never used to care.
66
00:04:51,641 --> 00:04:53,531
I find now that .. to live ..
67
00:04:53,904 --> 00:04:56,842
Without working is becoming
surprisingly difficult.
68
00:04:58,685 --> 00:04:59,509
I see.
69
00:05:01,848 --> 00:05:02,733
Yes, comrade?
70
00:05:02,947 --> 00:05:04,560
Prepare 20 roubles for Count ..
71
00:05:05,042 --> 00:05:06,619
I mean comrade Volsky.
72
00:05:06,881 --> 00:05:09,270
Twenty roubles?
- Yes. Enter it as an advance.
73
00:05:12,769 --> 00:05:13,520
Yes.
74
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,285
A cigarette before you go?
75
00:05:20,595 --> 00:05:21,933
Perhaps I'd better. Yes.
76
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:23,890
Thank you.
77
00:05:24,104 --> 00:05:26,175
I'll take no more of your
very valuable time.
78
00:05:26,777 --> 00:05:27,565
Au revoir.
79
00:06:09,444 --> 00:06:12,412
At that time I, Fedor
Mikhailovich Petroff..
80
00:06:13,763 --> 00:06:17,864
Held a position as examining magistrate
in the little summer resort of Tyrneva.
81
00:06:18,183 --> 00:06:20,741
In the district of Kharkov
in Imperial Russia.
82
00:06:22,792 --> 00:06:25,201
I can remember as
though it were yesterday.
83
00:06:25,415 --> 00:06:28,352
The sticky little courtroom of
which the predominant feature ..
84
00:06:28,566 --> 00:06:31,038
Was the inevitable statuette of justice.
85
00:06:31,626 --> 00:06:35,387
How blind indeed this
lady is my story will show.
86
00:06:36,047 --> 00:06:39,397
Suddenly the crack of a whip cut
through the dullness of the hour.
87
00:06:40,452 --> 00:06:43,648
Looking up, I saw Nadena Kalenin.
88
00:06:44,971 --> 00:06:48,557
Nadena, who spent the summer
months with her parents in Tyrneva.
89
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:50,812
Had completely won my heart.
90
00:06:52,723 --> 00:06:54,074
Closing my eyes.
91
00:06:55,271 --> 00:06:56,567
I see a rainbow.
92
00:06:57,318 --> 00:06:59,443
Formed by the sun's spectrum.
93
00:07:00,276 --> 00:07:02,501
Nadena and I are riding towards it.
94
00:07:03,694 --> 00:07:06,979
If only a small part of the
past could be retrieved.
95
00:07:08,069 --> 00:07:11,536
If once more I could look over the
lake in its afternoon stillness.
96
00:07:12,229 --> 00:07:15,846
Or ride again through the
sleepy marketplace of Tyrneva.
97
00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:20,640
With the old pastry shop
with its guilt lettering.
98
00:07:21,102 --> 00:07:24,270
And its array of succulent
wares in the window.
99
00:07:25,272 --> 00:07:27,487
Look, Fedor. Real kisses.
100
00:07:28,087 --> 00:07:29,853
The dream of my childhood.
101
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:32,382
Nadena, you're not only the most
adorable girl in the world ..
102
00:07:32,596 --> 00:07:34,625
You're also the most unusual.
- Why, darling?
103
00:07:34,891 --> 00:07:37,888
Most of the women in my life prefer to
take me window-shopping at a jewellers.
104
00:07:38,490 --> 00:07:40,050
Were there many others, Fedor?
105
00:07:40,424 --> 00:07:41,182
Millions.
106
00:07:43,749 --> 00:07:44,828
How silly of me.
107
00:07:45,147 --> 00:07:48,227
Of course, every woman who meets you
must fall madly in love with you.
108
00:07:53,650 --> 00:07:54,505
Fedor.
109
00:07:55,076 --> 00:07:56,734
We'll be the talk of the whole village.
110
00:07:57,566 --> 00:07:59,242
It's too late to worry about that now.
111
00:08:01,669 --> 00:08:04,142
And I see myself, an engaged man.
112
00:08:04,847 --> 00:08:08,547
Riding through the thunder-laden
oppression of a breathless afternoon.
113
00:08:08,829 --> 00:08:10,818
Towards County Volsky's mansion.
114
00:08:15,014 --> 00:08:17,345
Judge Petroff, this is really an honor.
115
00:08:17,653 --> 00:08:19,794
Count Volsky in?
- Yes. In the library.
116
00:08:22,202 --> 00:08:24,834
But there is someone
with him on business.
117
00:08:26,581 --> 00:08:28,438
Business? The Count?
118
00:08:29,623 --> 00:08:32,835
Gregory, your loyalty to your
disreputable master does you credit.
119
00:08:33,217 --> 00:08:34,118
But it's true.
120
00:08:34,332 --> 00:08:36,368
Mr Urbenin, the overseer,
came to see him.
121
00:08:37,321 --> 00:08:38,878
Girl's laughter ]
122
00:08:39,683 --> 00:08:42,503
Urbenin must have grown considerably
younger since I last saw him.
123
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,190
Even his voice hasn't changed yet.
124
00:08:45,909 --> 00:08:47,289
Oh. Your Honor.
125
00:08:47,787 --> 00:08:48,810
I'm sorry.
126
00:08:49,270 --> 00:08:50,341
No harm done.
127
00:08:52,077 --> 00:08:53,435
At least I hope not, Piggy.
128
00:08:53,806 --> 00:08:55,482
Fedor. You are a man of the world.
129
00:08:55,814 --> 00:08:57,305
Now I ask you, is it reasonable ..
130
00:08:57,519 --> 00:08:59,619
For the Lord of the manor to
make love to a housemaid?
131
00:08:59,833 --> 00:09:03,566
Why Piggy, I can assure you it is
constantly done in the highest circles.
132
00:09:09,517 --> 00:09:11,535
Shame on you, Piggy.
- I can explain.
133
00:09:11,762 --> 00:09:14,510
I sent all the way to Moscow Fedor
for those enchanting garters.
134
00:09:14,724 --> 00:09:15,977
That capricious little ..
135
00:09:16,446 --> 00:09:17,404
What's her name?
136
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,277
Clara. She wouldn't even
let me put them on her.
137
00:09:20,635 --> 00:09:23,356
You're right, Piggy.
Life is hard on the aristocracy.
138
00:09:23,893 --> 00:09:26,669
Monstrous of her to deny me an
innocent little pleasure like that.
139
00:09:27,489 --> 00:09:28,762
Life is such a bore anyway.
140
00:09:29,949 --> 00:09:31,737
What are the lower classes
coming to, Fedor?
141
00:09:32,409 --> 00:09:33,046
Huh?
142
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:35,559
I tell you, one of these days ..
143
00:09:36,103 --> 00:09:37,308
Oh look. Champagne.
144
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:39,501
Have some, Fedor. Have some.
- Thank you.
145
00:09:40,101 --> 00:09:42,778
You know, I have decided
to give up drinking entirely.
146
00:09:42,992 --> 00:09:44,324
That's a noble notion, Piggy.
147
00:09:44,685 --> 00:09:47,162
Did your conscience dictate that?
- No. My doctor.
148
00:09:47,924 --> 00:09:50,901
Mind you, I think it's very unhealthy
to break a habit all of a sudden.
149
00:09:51,463 --> 00:09:53,195
Things like that should
be done gradually.
150
00:09:53,708 --> 00:09:54,859
I quite agree.
151
00:09:55,266 --> 00:09:57,012
Gradually we must disintegrate.
152
00:09:57,783 --> 00:09:59,296
I shall swear off drinking too.
153
00:10:00,223 --> 00:10:01,627
Here is to sobriety.
154
00:10:10,832 --> 00:10:11,737
Three.
155
00:10:14,756 --> 00:10:15,610
Four.
156
00:10:22,606 --> 00:10:23,559
Five.
157
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:26,940
Fedor.
158
00:10:28,596 --> 00:10:29,555
You're a genius.
159
00:10:30,215 --> 00:10:31,977
Now watch me, Fedor. Look at me.
160
00:10:32,824 --> 00:10:33,506
One.
161
00:10:33,981 --> 00:10:34,606
Two.
162
00:10:35,056 --> 00:10:35,729
Three.
163
00:10:36,154 --> 00:10:38,029
Monkey see, monkey do.
164
00:10:39,299 --> 00:10:40,789
And .. six.
165
00:10:41,657 --> 00:10:42,789
Now Fedor, look at me.
166
00:10:43,821 --> 00:10:44,580
My first.
167
00:10:45,191 --> 00:10:46,404
We drink to ..
168
00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:48,508
Oh dear.
169
00:10:48,722 --> 00:10:51,285
Things have come to a pretty pass
when one can't even think of a toast.
170
00:10:51,662 --> 00:10:53,582
Why not drink to my
forthcoming marriage?
171
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:55,157
Marriage?
172
00:10:55,460 --> 00:10:56,205
You?
173
00:10:56,868 --> 00:10:57,541
Fedor.
174
00:10:58,117 --> 00:10:59,871
That's impossible.
- Why?
175
00:11:00,395 --> 00:11:01,106
Why?
176
00:11:01,682 --> 00:11:03,208
Why? Why, because.
177
00:11:04,356 --> 00:11:05,717
It would be the end of an era.
178
00:11:06,291 --> 00:11:07,210
Of a regime.
179
00:11:07,887 --> 00:11:09,706
It will be like the fall of
the Roman Empire.
180
00:11:10,294 --> 00:11:11,444
Tell me .. who is she?
181
00:11:11,663 --> 00:11:13,112

00:21:36,705 --> 00:21:37,636
Good afternoon.
362
00:21:38,442 --> 00:21:39,842
Good afternoon, Judge Petroff.
363
00:21:40,183 --> 00:21:41,347
Going home from church?
364
00:21:42,421 --> 00:21:43,095
Yes.
365
00:21:45,033 --> 00:21:46,409
It is so warm today, I ..
366
00:21:46,828 --> 00:21:48,208
I had to take my boots off.
367
00:21:49,354 --> 00:21:50,714
It's much cooler without them.
368
00:21:51,495 --> 00:21:52,283
Naturally.
369
00:21:53,026 --> 00:21:54,071
Do you want a ride?
370
00:21:54,472 --> 00:21:55,243
Oh yes.
371
00:21:56,234 --> 00:21:57,107
That is if ..
372
00:21:57,511 --> 00:21:58,941
Your Honor wouldn't mind.
373
00:22:00,033 --> 00:22:01,223
Come on, climb up.
374
00:22:05,305 --> 00:22:06,379
There we are.
375
00:22:23,265 --> 00:22:26,092
Did you enjoy the service?
- Yes. I like going to church.
376
00:22:26,684 --> 00:22:28,925
Seeing all the pretty ladies
in their rich clothes.
377
00:22:29,508 --> 00:22:31,127
The jewelled images of the saints.
378
00:22:31,581 --> 00:22:32,916
The smoke of the candles.
379
00:22:33,892 --> 00:22:34,736
The singing.
380
00:22:35,140 --> 00:22:37,931
When I am rich I shall have
music playing. Always.
381
00:22:38,407 --> 00:22:40,419
Yes, I remember.
You are going to be rich.
382
00:22:40,780 --> 00:22:42,941
A princess of Babylon.
- Yes, sir.
383
00:22:44,136 --> 00:22:45,099
Hello, Pyotr.
384
00:22:51,458 --> 00:22:52,675
They belong to the Count.
385
00:22:53,135 --> 00:22:54,952
All the land around here belongs to him.
386
00:22:55,418 --> 00:22:56,800
He is a very rich man.
387
00:22:57,918 --> 00:23:00,441
The other day, they were airing
some of the Countess's dresses.
388
00:23:00,862 --> 00:23:02,509
The ones she wore before she died and ..
389
00:23:02,763 --> 00:23:04,655
And lots of them had trains and ..
390
00:23:05,143 --> 00:23:07,347
And she had forty pairs of shoes.
391
00:23:08,233 --> 00:23:10,048
Some of them even had diamonds on them.
392
00:23:12,701 --> 00:23:13,946
I wish these had diamonds.
393
00:23:14,473 --> 00:23:17,937
Of course. Shoes with diamonds on them
are much more comfortable, aren't they.
394
00:23:18,761 --> 00:23:19,677
I don't know.
395
00:23:20,316 --> 00:23:22,098
These are the first pair
I have ever owned.
396
00:23:23,216 --> 00:23:25,645
Did your father give them to you?
- My father?
397
00:23:26,536 --> 00:23:29,141
When he gets ten kopecks
he spends it on vodka.
398
00:23:29,828 --> 00:23:30,976
How vulgar.
399
00:23:31,894 --> 00:23:33,443
I spend my money on champagne.
400
00:23:33,801 --> 00:23:34,609
Champagne?
401
00:23:35,250 --> 00:23:37,055
What does it taste like?
I never had any.
402
00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:40,944
Not unlike this.
403
00:23:46,364 --> 00:23:47,401
Oh. My boots.
404
00:23:51,416 --> 00:23:52,660
Thank you, Judge Petroff.
405
00:23:53,143 --> 00:23:54,157
For the ride.
406
00:23:54,862 --> 00:23:56,093
I live quite near here.
407
00:23:56,828 --> 00:23:57,616
Thank you.
408
00:24:22,787 --> 00:24:24,800
Gregory.
- Yes, Your Excellency?
409
00:24:25,425 --> 00:24:26,442
What wine is that?
410
00:24:26,711 --> 00:24:27,928
The '98, Your Excellency.
411
00:24:28,477 --> 00:24:30,178
The year my dear wife died.
412
00:24:30,627 --> 00:24:31,797
[ Door knocks ]
413
00:24:32,411 --> 00:24:33,140
Come in.
414
00:24:34,533 --> 00:24:35,606
Oh, it's you.
415
00:24:36,304 --> 00:24:37,262
Your Excellency.
416
00:24:37,587 --> 00:24:39,294
Tomorrow, Urbenin. Tomorrow.
417
00:24:40,049 --> 00:24:43,817
Why interrupt me at this time? Can't
you see I concentrate on my butterflies?
418
00:24:44,062 --> 00:24:45,021
It's an outrage.
419
00:24:45,641 --> 00:24:46,802
Urbenin. Look.
420
00:24:47,247 --> 00:24:49,393
Look at that one.
Isn't that beautiful? Isn't it?
421
00:24:50,566 --> 00:24:51,645
I call her Sarah.
422
00:24:51,986 --> 00:24:53,152
After Sarah Bernhardt.
423
00:24:53,752 --> 00:24:55,122
The actress, stupid.
424
00:24:55,535 --> 00:24:57,268
I caught her in the Crimea.
The butterfly.
425
00:24:58,316 --> 00:24:59,726
I caught cold catching her.
426
00:25:01,108 --> 00:25:01,977
Urbenin.
427
00:25:02,730 --> 00:25:04,004
When I say something witty.
428
00:25:04,386 --> 00:25:06,517
You will oblige me by
either laughing or leaving.
429
00:25:07,381 --> 00:25:10,545
I'm sorry Your Excellency, but I
have something serious to tell you.
430
00:25:11,207 --> 00:25:12,879
We have run out of champagne?
- Oh no.
431
00:25:13,601 --> 00:25:14,389
The money?
432
00:25:14,654 --> 00:25:17,372
Not yet, Your Excellency.
The way it's going it won't be long.
433
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,066
I'll look over the books
tomorrow, Urbenin.
434
00:25:20,874 --> 00:25:21,918
Your Excellency.
435
00:25:22,710 --> 00:25:23,567
Yes?
436
00:25:25,574 --> 00:25:26,938
I am going to be married.
437
00:25:29,261 --> 00:25:29,990
Married?
438
00:25:30,770 --> 00:25:31,425
You?
439
00:25:31,940 --> 00:25:33,765
Urbenin, no.
440
00:25:34,137 --> 00:25:35,618
Your Excellency, Judge Petroff.
441
00:25:36,905 --> 00:25:38,302
Hello Clara. Hello Piggy.
442
00:25:39,662 --> 00:25:41,831
Don't tell me you're playing
with your silly butterflies.
443
00:25:42,144 --> 00:25:43,851
What do you do all Sunday morning?
444
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:45,385
Church.
- Church?
445
00:25:46,956 --> 00:25:48,229
Did you hear that, Urbenin?
446
00:25:48,443 --> 00:25:50,486
You see to what lengths
love drives a person.
447
00:25:51,188 --> 00:25:52,751
You're not the only one.
- Really?
448
00:25:53,151 --> 00:25:54,559
No. My overseer here.
449
00:25:54,955 --> 00:25:57,192
Funny old Urbenin found himself a bride.
450
00:25:57,526 --> 00:25:58,799
Without even consulting me.
451
00:25:59,259 --> 00:26:00,679
What is our peasantry coming to?
452
00:26:01,526 --> 00:26:02,751
Now really, Piggy.
453
00:26:03,911 --> 00:26:05,620
The peasantry has every right to marry.
454
00:26:06,406 --> 00:26:08,311
In fact, it's about the
only right they do have.
455
00:26:08,953 --> 00:26:09,911
Congratulations.
456
00:26:10,125 --> 00:26:12,368
Nevertheless, I should have had
some knowledge in advance.
457
00:26:12,671 --> 00:26:14,134
Fedor, from time immemorial ..
458
00:26:14,477 --> 00:26:18,228
We Volskys were always considered
little fathers to our servitors.
459
00:26:19,413 --> 00:26:21,049
When does the happy event take place?
460
00:26:21,404 --> 00:26:24,817
Soon, Your Excellency. Before Olga
Kuzminichna can change her mind.
461
00:26:26,357 --> 00:26:28,242
Who did you say?
- Olga.
462
00:26:28,684 --> 00:26:30,081
You remember, Fedor? Olga.
463
00:26:30,591 --> 00:26:31,835
Yes, I remember perfectly.
464
00:26:32,148 --> 00:26:34,069
Isn't he the sly old dog.
465
00:26:35,464 --> 00:26:37,848
You know Fedor, you and I are
chasing butterflies all our lives.
466
00:26:38,270 --> 00:26:40,968
And he snatches the prize specimen
from under our very noses.
467
00:26:42,356 --> 00:26:44,439
I do feel I should have been consulted.
- But ..
468
00:26:44,702 --> 00:26:47,012
However. You have our permission.
- Thank you.
469
00:26:47,227 --> 00:26:48,271
And Fedor. Urbenin.
470
00:26:48,639 --> 00:26:51,822
You know, I'll let the happy couple
be married in my own private chapel.
471
00:26:52,178 --> 00:26:55,963
Do you realize I haven't been in that
chapel since my poor wife's funeral.
472
00:26:56,377 --> 00:26:58,939
This will be much more fun
and much less painful.
473
00:26:59,537 --> 00:27:00,731
And now. Lunch.
474
00:27:01,977 --> 00:27:03,327
Fedor.
- Your Excellency.
475
00:27:04,196 --> 00:27:06,902
I hope we will be able to
repay you for your kindness.
476
00:27:07,271 --> 00:27:08,119
Someday.
477
00:27:08,446 --> 00:27:09,261
But he can.
478
00:27:10,061 --> 00:27:12,469
In the coming revolution
Urbenin can protect us.
479
00:27:13,525 --> 00:27:17,270
He can use his influence to save us from
hanging and have us decapitated instead.
480
00:27:17,839 --> 00:27:19,436
I don't feel at all well.
481
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,114
Urbenin, you may go.
482
00:27:22,632 --> 00:27:24,631
Your Excellency. Thank you. Thank you.
483
00:27:25,232 --> 00:27:26,453
Revolution?
484
00:27:26,783 --> 00:27:28,369
Fedor, you mustn't joke about it.
485
00:27:29,355 --> 00:27:30,902
Now I can't eat one speck of lunch.
486
00:27:32,208 --> 00:27:34,577
I hope I wasn't too liberal in
offering the private chapel.
487
00:27:35,337 --> 00:27:38,573
This is a democratic age. Why not
give a grand wedding reception?
488
00:27:38,995 --> 00:27:40,808
I shall offer my services
as the best man.
489
00:27:41,330 --> 00:27:43,587
You mean invite our friends?
Our own circle?
490
00:27:45,763 --> 00:27:48,303
You are always craving novelty.
Here's your opportunity.
491
00:27:49,115 --> 00:27:52,859
The lord of the manor delights the cream
of the area in honor of his servants.
492
00:27:53,568 --> 00:27:57,136
I've been told it's becoming quite
chic nowadays to be liberal minded.
493
00:27:58,060 --> 00:27:59,673
It's the very last word, Piggy.
494
00:28:42,814 --> 00:28:43,903
Our God.
495
00:28:44,985 --> 00:28:46,350
Crown them.
496
00:28:46,862 --> 00:28:51,562
With glory and honor.
497
00:29:45,791 --> 00:29:48,968
Now I pronounce you husband and wife.
498
00:29:49,696 --> 00:29:50,893
God bless you.
499
00:30:33,867 --> 00:30:36,381
Now. Now, ladies and
gentlemen, if you please.
500
00:30:37,682 --> 00:30:39,952
A toast. Not the cake. That comes later.
501
00:30:44,367 --> 00:30:48,493
A toast to the most beautiful bride that
ever graced the table of the Volskys.
502
00:30:49,309 --> 00:30:50,247
Olga.
503
00:30:52,981 --> 00:30:54,066
My daughter.
504
00:30:55,556 --> 00:30:57,747
That's the third time you
have informed me of that.
505
00:31:00,844 --> 00:31:03,492
You will oblige me by not
spilling champagne all over me.
506
00:31:04,237 --> 00:31:05,305
I am sorry.
507
00:31:06,517 --> 00:31:09,904
Now I call upon all my friends
to let joy be unconfined.
508
00:31:10,322 --> 00:31:12,482
This is the happiest party
I've had in this room since ..
509
00:31:12,696 --> 00:31:14,567
It's certainly a most unusual party.
510
00:31:14,781 --> 00:31:15,560
Isn't it.
511
00:31:15,995 --> 00:31:18,799
You know, life is such a bore one
must do something in self-defense.
512
00:31:19,571 --> 00:31:21,616
I adore the unusual, the bizarre.
513
00:31:22,052 --> 00:31:23,316
The cake.
- The cake.
514
00:31:25,144 --> 00:31:26,163
300 eggs.
515
00:31:26,598 --> 00:31:30,376
It's made from an old Volsky recipe used
in our family since time immemorial.
516
00:31:30,983 --> 00:31:32,945
You see my dear girl,
nothing is too good for you.
517
00:31:33,237 --> 00:31:35,151
This is a real honor, Your Excellency.
518
00:31:35,677 --> 00:31:36,880
Olga.
- What is it?
519
00:31:37,094 --> 00:31:39,399
You must cut it.
- I know what to do myself.
520
00:31:39,938 --> 00:31:41,958
Now, my dear.
You must let me guide your hand.
521
00:31:42,340 --> 00:31:42,926
Oh.
522
00:31:43,787 --> 00:31:45,181
Your adorable little hand.
523
00:31:46,271 --> 00:31:48,599
Urbenin, your wife has
the hand of a princess.
524
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,052
Of Babylon.
525
00:31:50,621 --> 00:31:51,655
And now, Olga.
526
00:31:53,251 --> 00:31:54,067
Here we go.
527
00:31:59,590 --> 00:32:01,267
That poor girl. I am sorry for her.
528
00:32:01,528 --> 00:32:02,966
Even sorrier for the husband.
529
00:32:03,443 --> 00:32:05,727
Why? What more could they want?
530
00:32:06,064 --> 00:32:07,781
He could be alone on a day like this.
531
00:32:08,002 --> 00:32:10,565
It is their wedding.
Not a play performed for snobs.
532
00:32:10,779 --> 00:32:12,798
I don't know. I think it was
rather an amusing idea.
533
00:32:13,679 --> 00:32:14,845
Oh, Fedor.
534
00:32:15,145 --> 00:32:17,962
Go on, Clara. Go on. See that
everyone is served rapidly.
535
00:32:18,433 --> 00:32:21,007
Now. I have a great
surprise for the ladies.
536
00:32:21,377 --> 00:32:23,280
If you look carefully under
your dessert plates.
537
00:32:23,521 --> 00:32:25,399
You will find a dance card.
538
00:32:38,013 --> 00:32:40,655
At least there is one point on which
you admit I have good taste.
539
00:32:41,423 --> 00:32:42,225
Forgiven?
540
00:32:43,063 --> 00:32:44,626
I'm afraid I'll always forgive you.
541
00:32:45,571 --> 00:32:47,531
No cake for me.
542
00:32:48,192 --> 00:32:49,409
I want vodka.
543
00:32:49,935 --> 00:32:51,842
I can't stand that sweet stuff.
544
00:32:52,413 --> 00:32:56,011
You know, every time I drink champagne
I get the hiccups. Don't you?
545
00:32:56,354 --> 00:32:57,682
I do not.
546
00:32:58,359 --> 00:33:00,109
You know, I kind of like you.
547
00:33:01,265 --> 00:33:02,332
Are you married?
548
00:33:05,808 --> 00:33:07,262
I trust everybody is happy.
549
00:33:07,624 --> 00:33:08,461
Nikolai.
550
00:33:08,675 --> 00:33:10,639
Yes, my dear?
- Take me out of this place at once.
551
00:33:11,122 --> 00:33:12,341
Of course. What happened?
552
00:33:12,555 --> 00:33:14,171
I hope you don't leave my humble abode.
553
00:33:14,419 --> 00:33:17,472
The next time you entertain the
riff-raff of the district, Count Volsky.
554
00:33:17,808 --> 00:33:20,353
You will oblige me and my
husband by not inviting us.
555
00:33:22,350 --> 00:33:22,995
Well.
556
00:33:23,430 --> 00:33:27,820
That's the last time I ask people with
no sense of humor to my humble abode.
557
00:33:28,092 --> 00:33:29,292
Horrible manners.
558
00:33:33,106 --> 00:33:34,157
Are you married?
559
00:33:34,893 --> 00:33:36,383
Your Excellency.
- Yes, Gregory?
560
00:33:36,629 --> 00:33:38,026
The musicians have arrived.
561
00:33:39,165 --> 00:33:41,256
Not so close, Gregory.
Please, you tickle. Yes.
562
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,103
Thank you. Tell the musicians to
play whenever they're ready.
563
00:33:44,445 --> 00:33:46,319
Very good, Your Excellency.
- Something lively.
564
00:33:47,727 --> 00:33:48,909
Ladies and gentlemen.
565
00:33:49,268 --> 00:33:52,772
Before the dancing starts I want to
call upon our silent bridegroom.
566
00:33:53,127 --> 00:33:54,200
For a speech.
567
00:33:57,147 --> 00:33:59,533
Hey you. Fill the bridegroom's glass.
568
00:33:59,935 --> 00:34:01,791
Come now, Urbenin. Don't be bashful.
569
00:34:03,008 --> 00:34:04,129
Your Excellency.
570
00:34:05,096 --> 00:34:06,198
Judge Petroff.
571
00:34:07,282 --> 00:34:09,028
And all my friends.
572
00:34:10,355 --> 00:34:11,237
Believe me.
573
00:34:12,402 --> 00:34:13,932
I don't know what to say.
574
00:34:14,556 --> 00:34:17,110
What I mean is,
I still think it's like ..
575
00:34:17,825 --> 00:34:19,410
Like a dream.
- Tell me.
576
00:34:20,097 --> 00:34:22,630
How could I at my age
and looking as I do.
577
00:34:23,048 --> 00:34:26,668
Hope this beautiful young
girl would not refuse me.
578
00:34:27,311 --> 00:34:29,387
I saw to it that she didn't.
579
00:34:30,419 --> 00:34:32,597
Believe me I shall never forget this.
580
00:34:33,016 --> 00:34:35,443
Best and happiest day of my life.
581
00:34:37,026 --> 00:34:38,251
That is all. Thank you.
582
00:34:40,063 --> 00:34:41,681
Now Urbenin, kiss the bride.
583
00:34:42,693 --> 00:34:46,330
Kiss the bride. I'll wager there isn't a
man in the room who doesn't envy you.
584
00:34:51,390 --> 00:34:52,041
Well.
585
00:34:53,077 --> 00:34:54,143
I don't know.
586
00:35:01,207 --> 00:35:03,052
I was afraid something
like this would happen.
587
00:35:03,266 --> 00:35:04,721
Something has upset her. Fedor.
588
00:35:05,076 --> 00:35:06,349
I'll go and see what it is.
589
00:35:06,674 --> 00:35:07,404
I'll go.
590
00:35:09,685 --> 00:35:10,532
But, Fedor.
591
00:35:11,635 --> 00:35:13,663
You've embarrassed her enough.
- I am the host.
592
00:35:13,971 --> 00:35:15,223
And I am the best man.
593
00:35:39,758 --> 00:35:40,508
Olga.
594
00:35:42,020 --> 00:35:43,531
Now, now. You mustn't do this.
595
00:35:44,063 --> 00:35:45,052
Leave me alone!
596
00:35:50,783 --> 00:35:52,543
But you don't want to
hurt Urbenin, do you.
597
00:35:53,973 --> 00:35:54,559
No.
598
00:35:55,778 --> 00:35:56,770
It is your party.
599
00:35:57,566 --> 00:35:58,798
Don't you hear the music?
600
00:35:59,425 --> 00:36:00,491
And dancing.
601
00:36:01,743 --> 00:36:03,247
Shouldn't we go back to the others?
602
00:36:03,697 --> 00:36:04,284
No.
603
00:36:05,643 --> 00:36:06,967
Then you want me to go?
604
00:36:11,207 --> 00:36:11,793
No.
605
00:36:12,981 --> 00:36:13,908
Then.
606
00:36:15,647 --> 00:36:17,110
What do you want me to do?
607
00:36:23,427 --> 00:36:26,040
Ladies and gentlemen.
The dancing is in the ballroom.
608
00:36:26,805 --> 00:36:27,563
This way.
609
00:36:30,134 --> 00:36:30,991
Nadena.
610
00:36:36,353 --> 00:36:38,307
If you'll excuse me.
I have to find my partner.
611
00:36:38,521 --> 00:36:40,999
I'm the host, you know. I must
dance the first dance with the bride.
612
00:36:41,454 --> 00:36:42,376
Where is Olga?
613
00:36:42,878 --> 00:36:45,692
Of course, she hasn't come back yet.
And Fedor went after her.
614
00:36:46,617 --> 00:36:48,004
We're both deserted, aren't we.
615
00:36:48,615 --> 00:36:49,893
So, shall we dance?
616
00:36:50,107 --> 00:36:51,723
Thank you but I've promised this dance.
617
00:36:52,554 --> 00:36:53,226
Sorry.
618
00:36:53,451 --> 00:36:56,011
If you'll forgive me I'll see
the ball gets started properly.
619
00:36:56,513 --> 00:36:59,117
Unless I supervise, things
never get done around here.
620
00:36:59,645 --> 00:37:02,336
Don't you think you should have
danced with your host, Nadinka?
621
00:37:02,569 --> 00:37:04,496
But papa, I really did promise this one.
622
00:37:04,809 --> 00:37:06,111
Don't listen to your father.
623
00:37:06,325 --> 00:37:08,703
Run along and find your young
man before this dance is over.
624
00:37:30,362 --> 00:37:31,908
Are you going to marry Miss Kalenin?
625
00:37:33,156 --> 00:37:33,849
Yes.
626
00:37:34,410 --> 00:37:35,369
Do you love her?
627
00:37:36,265 --> 00:37:36,901
Yes.
628
00:37:37,338 --> 00:37:38,905
Don't you love me?
- Of course I do.
629
00:37:39,119 --> 00:37:40,519
You can't love me and love her.
630
00:37:40,733 --> 00:37:43,852
I've thought of you morning, noon and
night from the first time I saw you.
631
00:37:44,390 --> 00:37:45,362
But it can't be.
632
00:37:45,932 --> 00:37:48,242
It's better for both of us.
- I'll never give you up, Fedor.
633
00:37:48,508 --> 00:37:50,054
You are married to another man.
634
00:37:50,408 --> 00:37:51,866
I never even kissed my husband.
635
00:37:52,233 --> 00:37:53,585
But Orlinka.
636
00:37:54,471 --> 00:37:55,884
Fedor, darling.
- Yes?
637
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:58,856
Kiss me again.
638
00:38:04,182 --> 00:38:06,350
You see, Fedor. Everything is
going to be so wonderful.
639
00:38:06,967 --> 00:38:08,702
Just the two of us together.
640
00:38:09,243 --> 00:38:09,987
Always.
641
00:38:24,660 --> 00:38:26,960
A mazurka, Fedor. Let's dance.
642
00:38:57,462 --> 00:38:58,275
Nadena.
643
00:38:58,708 --> 00:38:59,479
Please.
644
00:39:04,784 --> 00:39:06,392
Don't try to explain, Fedor.
645
00:39:07,038 --> 00:39:08,531
Explanations only hurt.
646
00:39:09,405 --> 00:39:10,649
But you must listen to me.
647
00:39:11,110 --> 00:39:14,372
Even the drunkards and petty thieves who
come to my court are given a fair trial.
648
00:39:14,755 --> 00:39:17,713
I'm not judging you, Fedor. You are not
on trial. You're free to do as you wish.
649
00:39:18,070 --> 00:39:18,943
One incident.
650
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:20,745
One moment of insanity and ..
651
00:39:20,984 --> 00:39:23,012
You would cast aside
the whole of our future?
652
00:39:23,305 --> 00:39:25,020
That wasn't a mere incident, Fedor.
653
00:39:26,666 --> 00:39:29,444
It was something in you which
is stronger than either of us.
654
00:39:30,398 --> 00:39:31,842
We could never be happy together.
655
00:39:33,868 --> 00:39:35,055
So you won't forgive me?
656
00:39:36,287 --> 00:39:37,775
But I do forgive you, Fedor.
657
00:39:40,414 --> 00:39:41,144
Goodbye.
658
00:39:57,621 --> 00:39:58,656
[ Door knocks ]
659
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:01,771
Fedor?
660
00:40:07,865 --> 00:40:09,827
Fedor. I've been waiting for days.
661
00:40:10,513 --> 00:40:11,415
Are you alone?
662
00:40:11,762 --> 00:40:13,321
They bring in the hay this afternoon.
663
00:40:13,631 --> 00:40:15,449
He wanted me to go with
him and I wouldn't.
664
00:40:16,424 --> 00:40:17,611
I knew you would come.
665
00:40:18,188 --> 00:40:19,176
How did you know?
666
00:40:19,766 --> 00:40:21,448
You had to. You love me.
667
00:40:22,491 --> 00:40:23,280
Do I?
668
00:40:23,947 --> 00:40:25,679
Why else would you be here, Fedor?
669
00:40:35,321 --> 00:40:37,126
What would your
Miss Kalenin say to that?
670
00:40:38,328 --> 00:40:39,064
Nothing.
671
00:40:39,319 --> 00:40:41,770
Oh Fedor, I'll make you
happier than she ever could.
672
00:40:42,660 --> 00:40:43,674
We'll go to Kiev.
673
00:40:44,336 --> 00:40:45,455
Or even Moscow.
674
00:40:45,883 --> 00:40:47,157
See the lights of the city.
675
00:40:49,518 --> 00:40:51,013
Why couldn't we go to America?
676
00:40:51,410 --> 00:40:53,032
Where nobody cares what we've been.
677
00:40:53,619 --> 00:40:54,273
Huh?
678
00:40:54,620 --> 00:40:56,036
It is a glorious dream Orlinka.
679
00:40:56,627 --> 00:40:58,544
Unfortunately, dreams
like that are expensive.
680
00:40:59,270 --> 00:41:01,352
And local judges are grossly underpaid.
681
00:41:01,839 --> 00:41:04,422
I don't know what you're talking about.
I only know that I love you.
682
00:41:06,077 --> 00:41:07,416
I would steal for you, Fedor.
683
00:41:08,449 --> 00:41:09,646
I'd do anything for you.
684
00:41:10,271 --> 00:41:11,029
Anything.
685
00:41:13,115 --> 00:41:14,468
The weeks that followed ..
686
00:41:14,682 --> 00:41:18,863
Remain in my mind as a phantasmagoria
of violently conflicting emotions.
687
00:41:19,577 --> 00:41:22,395
For hours I would lie inert
on the couch in my study ..
688
00:41:22,609 --> 00:41:25,523
Reproaching myself for the
hurt I have done Nadena.
689
00:41:26,237 --> 00:41:31,146
I knew this association with a peasant
girl was ignominious and dangerous.
690
00:41:31,870 --> 00:41:36,381
Yet the danger itself seemed only to
expand the spell of her power over me.
691
00:41:37,063 --> 00:41:40,609
At times I even seriously
considered running away with her.
692
00:41:41,058 --> 00:41:42,843
As she had so often suggested.
693
00:41:43,430 --> 00:41:44,503
Then again, the ..
694
00:41:44,717 --> 00:41:48,402
The possibility of such a retreat
from all I valued, instead of ..
695
00:41:48,970 --> 00:41:51,030
Making me laugh, it angered me.
696
00:41:54,119 --> 00:41:57,919
And I would try to soothe
my tortured nerves by ..
697
00:41:58,832 --> 00:42:01,647
Picking out some sentimental folk song.
698
00:42:02,532 --> 00:42:04,834
On the ill-tuned upright piano.
699
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:13,662
Fedor.
700
00:42:14,037 --> 00:42:14,711
Olga.
701
00:42:15,963 --> 00:42:17,295
You shouldn't have come here.
702
00:42:17,625 --> 00:42:20,090
Don't worry about it, Fedor.
No-one saw me come in here.
703
00:42:20,679 --> 00:42:24,113
I've been waiting until that silly old
servant of yours went to the bakery.
704
00:42:25,031 --> 00:42:26,376
Aren't you pleased to see me?
705
00:42:30,967 --> 00:42:33,664
Fedor. Don't be so rough.
You've crushed my new hat.
706
00:42:37,675 --> 00:42:39,045
Isn't it pretty, Fedor? Look.
707
00:42:40,011 --> 00:42:42,334
A little elaborate.
- For a peasant girl, you mean?
708
00:42:42,721 --> 00:42:44,941
Stop talking nonsense and tell
me why you really came here.
709
00:42:45,789 --> 00:42:46,577
Well, I ..
710
00:42:47,854 --> 00:42:49,444
I'm frightened, Fedor.
- Frightened?
711
00:42:50,494 --> 00:42:51,166
Yes.
712
00:42:53,319 --> 00:42:54,249
Last night I ..
713
00:42:55,330 --> 00:42:56,832
I stole quietly out of bed.
714
00:42:57,484 --> 00:42:58,644
And went to the window.
715
00:42:59,582 --> 00:43:00,672
There was moonlight.
716
00:43:01,953 --> 00:43:05,062
And a night mist like clouds
around the cherry tree.
717
00:43:06,150 --> 00:43:06,811
I ..
718
00:43:07,436 --> 00:43:09,719
I drew two little hearts on
the moist windowpane.
719
00:43:10,427 --> 00:43:11,652
Yours and mine, Fedor.
720
00:43:13,294 --> 00:43:14,053
And then.
721
00:43:14,364 --> 00:43:15,791
Suddenly he was behind me.
722
00:43:16,044 --> 00:43:17,301
Urbenin?
- Hmm.
723
00:43:18,551 --> 00:43:19,938
I quickly wiped them off but ..
724
00:43:20,405 --> 00:43:21,542
I'm sure he saw them.
725
00:43:22,187 --> 00:43:24,936
Fedor, if he ever finds out
about us he'll kill me.
726
00:43:25,430 --> 00:43:26,598
I know he will.
727
00:43:27,316 --> 00:43:28,378
That poor devil.
728
00:43:29,918 --> 00:43:30,856
I pity him.
729
00:43:31,655 --> 00:43:32,941
You pity him?
730
00:43:33,380 --> 00:43:34,063
Why?
731
00:43:35,834 --> 00:43:39,401
Probably because when a man pities his
rival he's preparing to pity himself.
732
00:43:40,537 --> 00:43:42,355
I don't know what you're talking about.
733
00:43:43,073 --> 00:43:44,898
I never told Urbenin I loved him.
734
00:43:45,936 --> 00:43:48,017
It's not my fault if I'm
young and he is old.
735
00:43:48,231 --> 00:43:49,505
Then why did you marry him?
736
00:43:50,611 --> 00:43:52,022
Because I hated dirt.
737
00:43:52,573 --> 00:43:53,847
I hated being poor.
738
00:43:54,751 --> 00:43:56,468
At least he was better than what I left.
739
00:43:57,606 --> 00:44:00,038
So you moved from a pigsty
into an overseer's house?
740
00:44:01,238 --> 00:44:02,197
And now to this.
741
00:44:02,854 --> 00:44:05,128
What's the next step on your
path to the summit of the hill?
742
00:44:05,648 --> 00:44:06,816
[ Door knocks ]
743
00:44:07,196 --> 00:44:07,926
Urbenin.
744
00:44:08,718 --> 00:44:09,604
In there.
745
00:44:12,182 --> 00:44:12,969
Who is it?
746
00:44:13,610 --> 00:44:14,650
It is me, Fedor.
747
00:44:15,196 --> 00:44:15,893
Piggy.
748
00:44:17,666 --> 00:44:20,521
Fedor, I demand hospitality.
I am a very sick man.
749
00:44:21,032 --> 00:44:23,593
I've had the most ghastly day.
I've lost heavily at the races.
750
00:44:24,037 --> 00:44:26,836
My rendezvous tonight with a charming
lady has been suddenly cancelled.
751
00:44:27,050 --> 00:44:29,442
I have caught a cold, I have no
umbrella and it's going to rain.
752
00:44:29,789 --> 00:44:31,577
Besides, Fedor.
I haven't seen you for ages.
753
00:44:31,877 --> 00:44:33,522
Not since you broke off your engagement.
754
00:44:33,810 --> 00:44:36,082
As usual, you're misinformed.
Nadena broke it off.
755
00:44:36,401 --> 00:44:38,186
Did she? Did she really?
What impertinence.
756
00:44:38,835 --> 00:44:40,121
I can't say I'm sorry.
757
00:44:40,456 --> 00:44:42,187
I always thought she
was too intellectual.
758
00:44:42,401 --> 00:44:45,003
I'm always suspicious of
any woman with brains.
759
00:44:45,319 --> 00:44:48,134
Yes. Much as I'd like to
discuss the intimate details.
760
00:44:48,425 --> 00:44:50,272
Why don't you, dear boy?
Go and discuss it.
761
00:44:50,733 --> 00:44:53,409
You know, I haven't been so warm
or comfortable all day. Go ahead.
762
00:44:53,975 --> 00:44:56,182
Sorry, Piggy.
But I cannot ask you to stay.
763
00:44:56,556 --> 00:44:58,764
I have to go to court to pass
sentence on a petty thief.
764
00:44:59,138 --> 00:45:01,848
Let him wait. He won't be doing
anything for six weeks anyway.
765
00:45:03,345 --> 00:45:05,304
I think I thought of that
very quickly. Don't you?
766
00:45:05,576 --> 00:45:07,250
I have a ready wit. I really do.
767
00:45:08,146 --> 00:45:09,736
Perhaps you are right, dear boy.
768
00:45:10,048 --> 00:45:12,036
Fedor, I've got to ask your
advice about something.
769
00:45:12,678 --> 00:45:13,989
Alright. But make it short.
770
00:45:14,380 --> 00:45:15,221
Fedor.
771
00:45:15,753 --> 00:45:19,885
That since the passing of my poor wife
I have been a very, very lonely man.
772
00:45:21,155 --> 00:45:23,316
Don't say you mean to get married again?
- Well ..
773
00:45:23,587 --> 00:45:26,462
We Volskys have always fought
against marriage until the last ditch.
774
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:28,660
Anyway, she's married already.
775
00:45:29,314 --> 00:45:32,016
To a most unpleasant and a
most unreasonable individual.
776
00:45:32,817 --> 00:45:35,291
If I weren't the soul of discretion
I could tell you who she is.
777
00:45:35,634 --> 00:45:36,595
Her name is ..
778
00:45:36,948 --> 00:45:39,756
No, I couldn't tell you that. No.
But this I will say.
779
00:45:40,085 --> 00:45:42,060
That of all the women I have ever met.
780
00:45:42,503 --> 00:45:43,663
Including my dear wife.
781
00:45:44,306 --> 00:45:46,107
No-one has ever affected me so deeply.
782
00:45:46,537 --> 00:45:48,322
Are you listening?
- Yes, yes. Of course.
783
00:45:49,553 --> 00:45:51,046
Where was I?
- Deeply affected.
784
00:45:51,732 --> 00:45:53,530
Oh. Not that I have seen her so often.
785
00:45:53,994 --> 00:45:55,325
A carriage ride now and then.
786
00:45:55,656 --> 00:45:58,102
One or two exquisite moments
in the woods under the moon.
787
00:45:58,501 --> 00:45:59,710
Husband away, of course.
788
00:45:59,924 --> 00:46:02,042
That's how I caught this cold
But it was worth it.
789
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:03,421
But seriously.
790
00:46:03,769 --> 00:46:05,956
There's something about
her that is unearthly.
791
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,583
I don't see why I can't say who she is.
792
00:46:08,797 --> 00:46:09,958
Some other time, Piggy.
793
00:46:10,172 --> 00:46:13,191
I can't understand it, Fedor. You and
I have been like brothers for years.
794
00:46:13,552 --> 00:46:15,359
I wouldn't hide anything from you.
795
00:46:15,688 --> 00:46:17,561
I know you wouldn't
hide anything from me.
796
00:46:18,136 --> 00:46:18,974
Why, Fedor.
797
00:46:19,704 --> 00:46:20,340
Why?
798
00:46:22,345 --> 00:46:23,521
You sly old rogue.
799
00:46:25,314 --> 00:46:27,188
It reminds me of the old
days in St Petersburg.
800
00:46:27,404 --> 00:46:28,366
Now that your ..
801
00:46:28,706 --> 00:46:31,362
Curiosity is satisfied, perhaps you'll
do me the favor of getting out?
802
00:46:31,591 --> 00:46:34,162
Don't misunderstand me.
I'm pleased. Definitely pleased.
803
00:46:34,708 --> 00:46:37,770
Under the circumstances.
That is, were I jilted as you were ..
804
00:46:38,307 --> 00:46:39,436
I'd do the same thing.
805
00:46:39,733 --> 00:46:43,238
Knowing your taste, I'll guarantee
she is really just a raving beauty.
806
00:46:43,894 --> 00:46:45,662
Well I'll be leaving, Fedor. Leaving.
807
00:46:45,876 --> 00:46:47,204
Now, speaking of sport.
808
00:46:47,527 --> 00:46:50,929
I am having a shooting party at my
place on the 16th and you must come.
809
00:46:51,143 --> 00:46:53,851
Yes. I'll come.
- Depend upon me, Fedor.
810
00:46:54,527 --> 00:46:57,669
I am the soul of discretion.
I won't say anything about anything.
811
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,504
Where is my umbrella?
The one that I loaned you?
812
00:47:00,732 --> 00:47:02,176
In the hall.
- In the hall, yes.
813
00:47:05,609 --> 00:47:06,870
My, my, my.
814
00:47:18,456 --> 00:47:19,976
I thought he'd never go.
815
00:47:21,088 --> 00:47:22,876
I wonder who Piggy
has fallen for this time.
816
00:47:24,458 --> 00:47:25,483
How should I know?
817
00:47:26,224 --> 00:47:27,031
Or care?
818
00:47:34,073 --> 00:47:35,875
Mr Urbenin to see you.
819
00:47:37,976 --> 00:47:38,614
Who?
820
00:47:38,905 --> 00:47:39,930
Urbenin.
821
00:47:44,889 --> 00:47:45,933
What does he want?
822
00:47:46,149 --> 00:47:47,445
He didn't tell me.
823
00:47:48,637 --> 00:47:49,481
Show him in.
824
00:47:56,293 --> 00:47:58,324
This way, Mr Urbenin.
825
00:47:59,034 --> 00:47:59,965
Hello, Urbenin.
826
00:48:02,303 --> 00:48:03,347
Won't you sit down.
827
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:04,775
Thank you.
828
00:48:05,206 --> 00:48:06,653
I'd rather stand.
- As you wish.
829
00:48:07,402 --> 00:48:08,533
What can I do for you?
830
00:48:11,348 --> 00:48:12,850
It is about my wife, Your Honor.
831
00:48:13,811 --> 00:48:14,598
Your wife?
832
00:48:15,249 --> 00:48:17,469
You have always been kind
to me, Judge Petroff.
833
00:48:18,122 --> 00:48:20,745
I have no-one to turn
to for advice. So I ..
834
00:48:21,306 --> 00:48:21,978
I see.
835
00:48:23,422 --> 00:48:25,675
You want me to advise you
about Olga Kuzminichna.
836
00:48:26,690 --> 00:48:29,514
I'm sorry to waste your
valuable time but you see ..
837
00:48:30,530 --> 00:48:31,636
I know I am ..
838
00:48:32,202 --> 00:48:35,244
I am too old for her.
I'm not rich or good looking, but ..
839
00:48:35,657 --> 00:48:36,741
I love her.
840
00:48:37,445 --> 00:48:38,806
I could have made her ..
841
00:48:39,275 --> 00:48:40,608
Not happy perhaps, but ..
842
00:48:41,274 --> 00:48:42,062
Contended.
843
00:48:43,490 --> 00:48:46,343
But you see, what chance did I
have when he came along with ..
844
00:48:46,982 --> 00:48:47,798
Fine words.
845
00:48:48,287 --> 00:48:50,614
Presents and tricks and carriage rides.
846
00:48:51,385 --> 00:48:52,633
Who are you talking about?
847
00:48:53,107 --> 00:48:54,381
Count Volsky, Your Honor.
848
00:48:55,099 --> 00:48:56,450
The Count?
- Yes.
849
00:48:57,700 --> 00:48:59,141
So that's it.
850
00:49:02,967 --> 00:49:04,527
What do you expect me to do about it?
851
00:49:05,235 --> 00:49:08,081
No-one is a as close to the
count as you are. So I thought ..
852
00:49:08,603 --> 00:49:10,018
Perhaps you might speak to him.
853
00:49:11,552 --> 00:49:13,710
Life is full of strange
ironies, Urbenin.
854
00:49:14,622 --> 00:49:16,517
Pardon? I don't understand.
855
00:49:16,942 --> 00:49:19,102
I'm sorry, but I'm not the man
to speak on your behalf.
856
00:49:21,299 --> 00:49:22,144
Well then ..
857
00:49:23,346 --> 00:49:24,305
I will be going.
858
00:49:33,865 --> 00:49:36,553
He has someone with him.
He cannot be disturbed.
859
00:49:38,122 --> 00:49:39,708
Alright. I will tell him.
860
00:49:44,758 --> 00:49:45,932
What did he want?
861
00:49:46,889 --> 00:49:48,166
Count Volsky called.
862
00:49:48,720 --> 00:49:50,327
He wants you to come immediately.
863
00:49:50,665 --> 00:49:52,589
He seemed upset.
- What's the trouble?
864
00:49:53,137 --> 00:49:55,419
He thinks there are
thieves in his house.
865
00:49:55,897 --> 00:49:56,807
Was he sober?
866
00:49:57,226 --> 00:49:59,995
He seemed so, but I would
not take an oath on it.
867
00:50:03,151 --> 00:50:03,974
Very well.
868
00:50:04,263 --> 00:50:05,149
I'll go.
869
00:50:12,798 --> 00:50:15,024
It's very strange.
I can't detect any fingerprints at all.
870
00:50:15,261 --> 00:50:17,956
Fedor, I have been robbed.
All the family jewels. All of them.
871
00:50:18,304 --> 00:50:21,749
All the rings and brooches, the necklace
of real pearls I gave my poor wife.
872
00:50:21,986 --> 00:50:24,358
Worst of all, Fedor.
That fabulous collection of stick pins.
873
00:50:24,762 --> 00:50:26,270
Nothing left at all. Nothing. Look.
874
00:50:26,516 --> 00:50:28,017
Nothing but this silly little key.
875
00:50:35,453 --> 00:50:36,647
Fedor, did you hear me?
876
00:50:36,861 --> 00:50:37,820
Your Excellency.
877
00:50:38,101 --> 00:50:41,102
We searched everywhere, Your Excellency
But couldn't find a thing.
878
00:50:41,477 --> 00:50:42,716
But if you will permit ..
879
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:45,599
I have a suspicion.
- Yes?
880
00:50:46,096 --> 00:50:48,646
Not that I want to say for sure
but as I said to Gregory ..
881
00:50:49,039 --> 00:50:50,570
Never mind what you said to Gregory.
882
00:50:50,903 --> 00:50:53,081
Judge Petroff here is taking
entire charge of the case.
883
00:50:53,385 --> 00:50:55,090
Oh, Judge Petroff ..
884
00:50:56,817 --> 00:50:58,962
Don't you want to examine
me or search my room?
885
00:50:59,176 --> 00:51:01,141
It's near the stables.
I'd be glad to show you.
886
00:51:01,355 --> 00:51:03,323
Stop the chatter. Stop. This is serious.
887
00:51:03,776 --> 00:51:06,532
Now, Fedor. As you know I have
made a profound study of crime.
888
00:51:06,834 --> 00:51:09,072
Here is a situation where
speed is essential.
889
00:51:09,482 --> 00:51:12,265
We must prevent the thief from
communicating with his accomplices.
890
00:51:13,477 --> 00:51:14,608
But what do you think?
891
00:51:21,151 --> 00:51:23,462
Where is he going?
- Perhaps to my room.
892
00:51:24,636 --> 00:51:25,595
Your Excellency.
893
00:51:26,975 --> 00:51:28,077
Where are the jewels?
894
00:51:29,191 --> 00:51:30,162
What jewels?
895
00:51:30,711 --> 00:51:34,781
Are you going to deny that you stole
from your great admirer, Count Volsky?
896
00:51:35,735 --> 00:51:36,838
Why should I deny it?
897
00:51:38,079 --> 00:51:39,154
I'm not ashamed.
898
00:51:41,327 --> 00:51:42,950
I did it for you, Fedor.
899
00:51:43,650 --> 00:51:44,351
For us.
900
00:51:44,565 --> 00:51:46,985
You seriously expect me to believe that?
- Why not?
901
00:51:48,350 --> 00:51:50,310
After the carriage drives
you have taken with him.
902
00:51:50,524 --> 00:51:52,028
After the clothes he has given you.
903
00:51:52,468 --> 00:51:53,839
You forget that I know Volsky.
904
00:51:54,238 --> 00:51:55,962
And I'm not completely gullible.
905
00:51:56,460 --> 00:51:58,619
Fedor, I have never
even let him kiss me.
906
00:51:59,618 --> 00:52:00,796
He tried very hard.
907
00:52:01,168 --> 00:52:02,611
Never let him kiss you?
908
00:52:03,278 --> 00:52:04,941
That's what you told me about Urbenin.
909
00:52:07,821 --> 00:52:09,975
You're just being silly and jealous.
910
00:52:10,521 --> 00:52:11,336
Look at me.
911
00:52:11,550 --> 00:52:13,501
When we sell the jewels
we can go to America.
912
00:52:14,151 --> 00:52:14,845
Only.
913
00:52:15,278 --> 00:52:17,158
I'd like to keep the
pearls if you don't mind.
914
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,024
I tried them around my neck.
915
00:52:19,492 --> 00:52:21,578
Oh Fedor, They look like angel's teeth.
916
00:52:23,905 --> 00:52:25,149
What is the matter, Fedor?
917
00:52:26,353 --> 00:52:27,783
Why do you look at me like that?
918
00:52:27,997 --> 00:52:29,098
You are so beautiful.
919
00:52:30,612 --> 00:52:33,006
Why is it that you degrade
everything you touch?
920
00:52:33,334 --> 00:52:34,322
What do you mean?
921
00:52:35,563 --> 00:52:37,242
There was a time when I could have ..
922
00:52:38,107 --> 00:52:40,407
When the whole idea would
have been fantastic.
923
00:52:41,394 --> 00:52:44,256
But now I could almost run away
with you and live on stolen money.
924
00:52:45,253 --> 00:52:46,294
Why is that?
925
00:52:46,647 --> 00:52:47,978
It is love, Fedor.
926
00:52:50,150 --> 00:52:51,194
I don't believe it.
927
00:52:52,152 --> 00:52:53,208
I have known love.
928
00:52:54,235 --> 00:52:55,538
This is something different.
929
00:52:55,848 --> 00:52:57,388
Then, why don't you go back to ..
930
00:52:57,810 --> 00:52:59,010
To your Nadena.
931
00:53:00,130 --> 00:53:00,878
I can't.
932
00:53:02,581 --> 00:53:03,489
It's too late.
933
00:53:05,421 --> 00:53:07,327
I can't go back as long as you are here.
934
00:53:08,672 --> 00:53:10,744
I can't even try as
long as you are here.
935
00:53:15,563 --> 00:53:17,010
Where have you hidden the jewels?
936
00:53:18,498 --> 00:53:19,904
And if I don't tell you?
937
00:53:20,741 --> 00:53:22,404
Then I shall have to search the house.
938
00:54:03,242 --> 00:54:04,373
No. Not the Holy icon.
939
00:54:11,713 --> 00:54:13,711
Well .. what are you going to do now?
940
00:54:15,743 --> 00:54:17,467
Report it to the Count.
- Why don't you?
941
00:54:17,879 --> 00:54:20,087
Do you think he will believe
you rather than me?
942
00:54:20,743 --> 00:54:23,345
I remind you, Your Excellency.
This is my house.
943
00:54:23,942 --> 00:54:25,673
You were never more
mistaken in your life.
944
00:54:26,016 --> 00:54:28,126
This has been Volsky property
since time immemorial.
945
00:54:28,379 --> 00:54:30,070
Fedor, this man threatened me.
946
00:54:31,009 --> 00:54:31,759
Olga.
947
00:54:32,101 --> 00:54:33,328
You poor little girl.
948
00:54:34,054 --> 00:54:35,422
You mustn't be so upset, Olga.
949
00:54:35,636 --> 00:54:37,272
I tell you we have to all be calm.
950
00:54:37,795 --> 00:54:40,801
Fedor, I can't understand why you
would come here of all places.
951
00:54:46,702 --> 00:54:47,804
These are the jewels.
952
00:54:48,192 --> 00:54:49,951
These are mine. All of them.
953
00:54:50,888 --> 00:54:51,675
Of course.
954
00:54:52,006 --> 00:54:54,325
Look, Fedor. A wedding present
from the Grand Duke Vladimir.
955
00:54:54,687 --> 00:54:57,362
That's the one I wore on my honeymoon
in Paris. Do you remember that time?
956
00:54:57,822 --> 00:54:58,874
Enough of that.
957
00:54:59,316 --> 00:55:00,954
Judge Petroff. Do your duty.
958
00:55:01,428 --> 00:55:02,416
Arrest the thief.
959
00:55:02,940 --> 00:55:03,612
I?
960
00:55:04,808 --> 00:55:07,040
I was expecting something
like that from ..
961
00:55:07,589 --> 00:55:08,926
His Excellency.
962
00:55:09,195 --> 00:55:12,232
I'm sorry to disappoint you Piggy
but Urbenin didn't take the jewels.
963
00:55:12,528 --> 00:55:15,001
Please don't call me Piggy
in circumstances like these.
964
00:55:15,423 --> 00:55:16,834
Who else could have taken them?
965
00:55:19,049 --> 00:55:19,908
Oh surely.
966
00:55:20,275 --> 00:55:22,157
Surely you're not
suggesting that Olga ..
967
00:55:23,608 --> 00:55:25,265
Olga now. Olga, please.
968
00:55:25,673 --> 00:55:27,234
You mustn't take things so seriously.
969
00:55:27,457 --> 00:55:29,302
It's just another one of
Fedor's little jokes.
970
00:55:29,869 --> 00:55:33,362
No, Fedor. I say there is the man.
He made difficulties for me all summer.
971
00:55:34,218 --> 00:55:36,124
You mean standing between you and ..
972
00:55:36,776 --> 00:55:37,820
Something you want?
973
00:55:38,458 --> 00:55:40,117
Your Honor. He himself.
974
00:55:40,838 --> 00:55:43,094
Or one of his helpers sneaked
the jewels into my house.
975
00:55:43,536 --> 00:55:46,474
You get out of here. Pack your
things and get off of my property.
976
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,102
Needless to say, my dear,
this doesn't apply to you.
977
00:55:49,316 --> 00:55:50,702
Olga, I want you to ..
978
00:55:51,179 --> 00:55:52,580
You keep away from him.
979
00:55:54,293 --> 00:55:55,894
I forbid you to talk to my wife.
980
00:56:02,779 --> 00:56:03,777
Watch him, Fedor.
981
00:56:04,218 --> 00:56:05,141
Scum.
982
00:56:06,218 --> 00:56:08,952
Pretending I stole his
jewels because he ..
983
00:56:09,515 --> 00:56:11,131
He wants to steal my wife.
984
00:56:13,721 --> 00:56:14,709
Thank you, Fedor.
985
00:56:15,224 --> 00:56:16,643
You weren't fooled by his trick.
986
00:56:18,002 --> 00:56:20,249
Fedor Mikhailovich,
you are an upright man.
987
00:56:20,837 --> 00:56:22,127
You gave me justice.
988
00:56:23,344 --> 00:56:25,342
Something very strange
for a Russian peasant.
989
00:56:28,267 --> 00:56:29,253
Let's pack.
990
00:56:35,602 --> 00:56:37,337
How you must hate me, Fedor.
991
00:56:38,089 --> 00:56:41,365
If you would even send me to
prison just to get rid of me.
992
00:56:49,881 --> 00:56:52,702
You hurt little Olga's feelings, Fedor.
You really did.
993
00:56:53,158 --> 00:56:56,247
I adore a joke myself but honestly
I think you went too far.
994
00:56:56,687 --> 00:56:59,899
What are we shooting tomorrow?
- Woodcock or snipe if we're lucky.
995
00:57:00,996 --> 00:57:02,904
Urbenin, Fedor. A horrible person.
996
00:57:03,631 --> 00:57:04,875
I'm glad I got rid of him.
997
00:57:05,396 --> 00:57:08,217
Better use your twenty. You'll blow
the birds to pieces with a twelve.
998
00:57:08,525 --> 00:57:09,626
Don't worry about me.
999
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,300
I've never hit anything except
an occasional gamekeeper.
1000
00:57:13,643 --> 00:57:14,554
And that girl.
1001
00:57:15,769 --> 00:57:16,742
A strange girl.
1002
00:57:17,370 --> 00:57:18,760
Who?
- Olga.
1003
00:57:20,158 --> 00:57:22,330
Of course, I know she is
of humble origin. But ..
1004
00:57:22,927 --> 00:57:25,071
There is a curious
distinction about her.
1005
00:57:26,072 --> 00:57:27,260
She is terribly unhappy.
1006
00:57:28,638 --> 00:57:30,986
Why don't you save your
sympathy for her victims?
1007
00:57:31,352 --> 00:57:33,094
I know you're prejudiced, Fedor.
1008
00:57:33,408 --> 00:57:35,856
I know you don't like the girl
and I can't understand why.
1009
00:57:36,356 --> 00:57:38,405
Believe me that husband
of hers is a brute.
1010
00:57:39,783 --> 00:57:41,469
However, during the past few weeks.
1011
00:57:41,683 --> 00:57:43,933
I really believe I have been
able in my own little way.
1012
00:57:44,147 --> 00:57:46,471
To restore the poor
child's faith in our sex.
1013
00:57:47,450 --> 00:57:48,146
How?
1014
00:57:48,708 --> 00:57:51,045
With a little gift now
and then. A trinket.
1015
00:57:51,404 --> 00:57:53,478
I have to persuade the
dear girl to accept them.
1016
00:57:54,009 --> 00:57:56,473
A word of encouragement
here, a suggestion there.
1017
00:57:57,050 --> 00:58:00,539
See what I am presenting to her for
our shoot tomorrow. A hunting knife.
1018
00:58:00,850 --> 00:58:02,407
From my Caucasian collection.
1019
00:58:03,260 --> 00:58:04,172
Be quiet.
1020
00:58:05,136 --> 00:58:08,144
Your drooling sentimentality
turns my stomach.
1021
00:58:08,667 --> 00:58:09,312
Well.
1022
00:58:10,313 --> 00:58:11,897
After all, perhaps you are right.
1023
00:58:12,678 --> 00:58:14,811
There's no fool like
an old fool, is there.
1024
00:58:16,030 --> 00:58:19,947
From personal experience I can
assure you that saying is wrong.
1025
00:58:20,751 --> 00:58:21,464
Is it?
1026
00:58:21,824 --> 00:58:23,357
That's the way I've always heard it.
1027
00:58:24,153 --> 00:58:25,096
He beat me.
1028
00:58:25,604 --> 00:58:26,506
Olga.
- Look.
1029
00:58:27,442 --> 00:58:28,287
How ghastly.
1030
00:58:28,539 --> 00:58:30,415
What did I tell you, Fedor?
The man is a fiend.
1031
00:58:32,246 --> 00:58:35,231
He wanted me to go with him
when he leaves tomorrow but ..
1032
00:58:35,828 --> 00:58:37,480
I told him I didn't love him and ..
1033
00:58:38,102 --> 00:58:39,486
He started to beat me.
1034
00:58:39,995 --> 00:58:40,859
Poor girl.
1035
00:58:41,330 --> 00:58:44,027
Now. Just be calm.
I'll get you some antiseptic.
1036
00:59:10,523 --> 00:59:12,328
You think I'm lying. Don't you?
1037
00:59:14,826 --> 00:59:15,928
I'll take you home.
1038
00:59:16,584 --> 00:59:18,065
To Urbenin?
- Where you belong.
1039
00:59:18,532 --> 00:59:20,612
So, a wife belongs with her husband?
- Exactly.
1040
00:59:20,826 --> 00:59:23,048
You weren't so particular
about that before.
1041
00:59:23,503 --> 00:59:24,273
Were you.
1042
00:59:27,078 --> 00:59:28,609
Where are you going to stay tonight?
1043
00:59:29,293 --> 00:59:30,567
I haven't thought about it.
1044
00:59:31,862 --> 00:59:32,735
Come with me.
1045
00:59:33,172 --> 00:59:35,046
Polycarp will find some
place for you to sleep.
1046
00:59:35,365 --> 00:59:36,209
In a prison?
1047
00:59:37,159 --> 00:59:38,068
Thank you, no.
1048
00:59:39,961 --> 00:59:41,806
I think it would be much
simpler to stay here.
1049
00:59:43,272 --> 00:59:45,724
I'm sure the count has
plenty of spare rooms.
1050
00:59:47,677 --> 00:59:49,088
So that's why you came here.
1051
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:53,380
Olga, you can't.
1052
00:59:54,255 --> 00:59:57,644
His Honored Judge Fedor
Mikhailovich Petroff.
1053
00:59:58,826 --> 00:59:59,556
Jealous.
1054
01:00:02,481 --> 01:00:04,866
I've searched through the medicine
chest in my poor wife's room.
1055
01:00:05,215 --> 01:00:08,427
For the life of me I can't tell which
bottle is antiseptic or which is poison.
1056
01:00:08,882 --> 01:00:09,956
Can you tell, Fedor?
1057
01:00:10,654 --> 01:00:12,253
You poor child. See, Olga.
1058
01:00:12,847 --> 01:00:14,298
I've brought you some chocolates.
1059
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:15,993
The dark ones are really luscious.
1060
01:00:16,620 --> 01:00:18,624
I think you should stay
in the house for the night.
1061
01:00:18,838 --> 01:00:20,105
Don't you think so, Fedor?
1062
01:00:20,344 --> 01:00:23,220
Olga Kuzminichna is quite capable
of making her own decisions.

Of course it is. Yes.

It's getting late.
Let me show you to your room.

It is my poor wife's room. Yes.
May her soul rest in peace.

Goodnight, Judge Petroff.

I think she will be alright.

I'll see you tomorrow, Fedor?

Goodnight.

You wouldn't care to join me in a

It's only ten o'clock.
We can stay up all night.

It saves the trouble of
getting up in the morning.

What can we do all night?
- The usual thing: drink.

Philosophise about the
things we will have.

No, Fedor. No. Not tonight.
I have to get some sleep.

It was hanging in her wardrobe.

01:02:44,957 --> 01:02:46,572
I must be the same size she was.
1090
01:02:47,511 --> 01:02:48,929
I just had to put it on.

1092

Beautiful? Why it's breath-taking.
1094
01:02:57,347 --> 01:02:58,718
May I wear it sometimes?
1095
01:02:59,702 --> 01:03:01,047
I mean, really wear it.
1096
01:03:01,631 --> 01:03:02,934

1235
01:13:10,502 --> 01:13:13,502
Champagne Gregory, will you please.
My throat is as dry as a bone.
1236
01:13:13,804 --> 01:13:15,365
I say, my throat is as dry as a bone.
1237
01:13:16,142 --> 01:13:17,610
I hear Your Excellency.
1238
01:13:18,046 --> 01:13:20,757
Gregory, pour some Rhine wine in
Madam Urbenin's glass please.
1239
01:13:21,134 --> 01:13:22,235
Yes, Your Excellency.
1240
01:13:22,497 --> 01:13:24,628
The food looks delicious, doesn't it.
- Doesn't it. Yes.
1241
01:13:24,842 --> 01:13:26,857
Try some. It tastes even better. Yes.
And Gregory.
1242
01:13:27,071 --> 01:13:29,473
Gregory. Ring the dinner
bell for Madam Urbenin.
1243
01:13:29,701 --> 01:13:30,975
Certainly, Your Excellency.
1244
01:14:10,876 --> 01:14:11,784
Holy Father.
1245
01:14:50,202 --> 01:14:51,518
Our host does us well.
1246
01:14:51,856 --> 01:14:53,405
Very good.
- Thank you. Thank you.
1247
01:14:54,486 --> 01:14:57,075
I wonder where little Olga is.
She must have heard that second bell.
1248
01:14:57,942 --> 01:14:59,338
Gregory.
- Yes, Excellency?
1249
01:14:59,552 --> 01:15:01,764
Go and find madam Olga, will you.
- Yes, Your Excellency.
1250
01:15:02,087 --> 01:15:04,218
I left her at my stand by the bridge.
The little bridge.
1251
01:15:04,466 --> 01:15:05,424
Yes, Excellency.
1252
01:15:05,807 --> 01:15:07,454
With a lot of gentlemen with red beards.
1253
01:15:09,187 --> 01:15:09,831
Olga.
1254
01:15:18,688 --> 01:15:19,416
Look.
1255
01:15:30,089 --> 01:15:31,399
Who is that? Can you see?
1256
01:15:31,621 --> 01:15:32,494
I don't know.
1257
01:15:37,536 --> 01:15:38,363
Urbenin.
1258
01:15:57,863 --> 01:15:58,971
Did you hear him?
1259
01:15:59,873 --> 01:16:01,863
The blood on his sleeves.
- Blood?
1260
01:16:03,403 --> 01:16:04,368
She is dead.
1261
01:16:05,214 --> 01:16:06,067
Dead?
1262
01:16:10,624 --> 01:16:11,290
Olga.
1263
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:14,344
Your Excellency.
1264
01:16:15,092 --> 01:16:16,137
Your Excellency.
1265
01:16:18,023 --> 01:16:18,904
Gregory.
1266
01:16:20,350 --> 01:16:21,287
Ivan Ivanovich.
1267
01:16:25,856 --> 01:16:27,314
Your Excellency.
1268
01:16:28,074 --> 01:16:29,917
Olga Kuzminichna has been stabbed.
1269
01:16:34,005 --> 01:16:35,151
Good heavens.
1270
01:16:38,859 --> 01:16:40,833
There may be some hope.
She is still alive.
1271
01:16:41,213 --> 01:16:43,065
She is still alive.
Get the carriage. Hurry.
1272
01:16:43,279 --> 01:16:44,804
The carriage. The carriage!
1273
01:17:32,266 --> 01:17:34,097
Do you still pray for me, Nadena?
1274
01:17:34,549 --> 01:17:35,591
Oh yes, Fedor.
1275
01:17:36,417 --> 01:17:37,791
I need it badly.
1276
01:17:39,326 --> 01:17:41,177
We are leaving for Kharkov tonight.
1277
01:17:41,908 --> 01:17:42,839
Summer is over.
1278
01:17:45,341 --> 01:17:46,645
Do you remember the rainbow?
1279
01:17:47,172 --> 01:17:48,045
And the lake?
1280
01:17:49,596 --> 01:17:51,961
I sometimes wish I could go
back to that summer day.
1281
01:17:55,629 --> 01:17:56,694
Now it is too late.
1282
01:17:59,671 --> 01:18:01,001
Have I hurt you a great deal?
1283
01:18:03,059 --> 01:18:04,167
Of course I have.
1284
01:18:06,739 --> 01:18:07,727
I didn't want to.
1285
01:18:09,453 --> 01:18:10,564
I'm not myself.
1286
01:18:11,941 --> 01:18:15,819
There's something in me.
Something strange drives me on until ..
1287
01:18:16,335 --> 01:18:17,008
Fedor.
1288
01:18:20,148 --> 01:18:21,267
Pray for me, Nadena.
1289
01:18:24,391 --> 01:18:25,766
However lost the cause.
1290
01:18:29,380 --> 01:18:30,582
Pray for me.
1291
01:18:34,601 --> 01:18:35,756
Goodbye.
1292
01:18:38,747 --> 01:18:39,477
My love.
1293
01:18:49,689 --> 01:18:51,038
Fedor Mikhailovich.
1294
01:18:51,817 --> 01:18:54,395
What is it?
- The count asks you come immediately.
1295
01:18:54,665 --> 01:18:56,844
Olga Kuzminichna has been stabbed.
1296
01:18:58,136 --> 01:18:59,123
What did you say?
1297
01:18:59,337 --> 01:19:00,550
Olga ..
- Is she dead?
1298
01:19:01,169 --> 01:19:02,187
She is dying.
1299
01:19:09,851 --> 01:19:10,808
Who is that?
1300
01:19:15,814 --> 01:19:17,536
Fedor, I'm so glad you're here.
1301
01:19:17,998 --> 01:19:20,330
My head is bursting, you know.
My nerves, completely shattered.
1302
01:19:20,602 --> 01:19:21,846
I'm running a temperature.
1303
01:19:22,253 --> 01:19:23,693
How is she?
- Who?
1304
01:19:24,671 --> 01:19:26,010
She is unconscious I think.
1305
01:19:26,700 --> 01:19:29,788
She's in the upstairs bedroom.
My wife's room. The doctor is with her.
1306
01:19:30,571 --> 01:19:31,815
Fedor, I can't believe it.
1307
01:19:32,029 --> 01:19:34,079
These things don't happen
to people like us.
1308
01:19:35,283 --> 01:19:36,271
Poor little Olga.
1309
01:19:36,818 --> 01:19:39,614
So gay. So full of life.
Stabbed with her own dagger.
1310
01:19:40,205 --> 01:19:41,680
How do you know it was her dagger?
1311
01:19:42,102 --> 01:19:44,018
It is missing, isn't it?
Of course it was hers.
1312
01:19:44,853 --> 01:19:46,210
Oh dear, dear, dear.
1313
01:19:46,833 --> 01:19:50,133
To think only yesterday I gave it to her
out of my collection of ancient weapons.
1314
01:19:50,657 --> 01:19:53,433
You know what's going to happen.
I have to get rid of them. Every one.
1315
01:19:54,050 --> 01:19:55,577
I'll sell them. Give them away.
1316
01:19:56,136 --> 01:19:57,882
I am so sensitive.
You understand, Fedor.
1317
01:19:58,321 --> 01:19:59,137
What a day.
1318
01:19:59,739 --> 01:20:01,328
I have sent for the public prosecutor.
1319
01:20:02,180 --> 01:20:03,117
Lunin?
- Yes.
1320
01:20:03,335 --> 01:20:04,839
He ought to be here any moment now.
1321
01:20:05,378 --> 01:20:06,571
But .. Fedor.
1322
01:20:07,242 --> 01:20:09,756
Supposing Urbenin should stab
me before Lunin gets here?
1323
01:20:11,566 --> 01:20:12,805
Urbenin?
- Yes.
1324
01:20:13,367 --> 01:20:14,211
He hates me.
1325
01:20:14,426 --> 01:20:16,343
He is jealous.
That's why he stabbed Olga.
1326
01:20:19,143 --> 01:20:21,426
What makes you so sure that
Urbenin who stabbed Olga?
1327
01:20:22,162 --> 01:20:23,234
Who else could have?
1328
01:20:23,824 --> 01:20:25,196
There was blood on his sleeve.
1329
01:20:27,103 --> 01:20:28,892
I never trusted him from the first.
1330
01:20:29,141 --> 01:20:30,301
Of course he is guilty.
1331
01:20:32,934 --> 01:20:34,380
Have you ever heard the saying ..
1332
01:20:34,988 --> 01:20:37,132
'Not the slayer but
the slain is guilty'?
1333
01:20:44,330 --> 01:20:46,020
In the name of The Father.
1334
01:20:46,298 --> 01:20:49,159
The Son and the Holy Spirit.
1335
01:20:50,450 --> 01:20:51,351
Amen.
1336
01:20:56,835 --> 01:20:57,882
She will live.
1337
01:21:09,992 --> 01:21:11,352
How is she, Father Konstantin?
1338
01:21:11,833 --> 01:21:13,238
Let us trust in The Lord.
1339
01:21:13,699 --> 01:21:14,807
Fedor Mikhailovich.
1340
01:21:27,353 --> 01:21:28,742
Will I be able to question her?
1341
01:21:28,973 --> 01:21:30,047
That's hard to say.
1342
01:21:30,724 --> 01:21:32,027
I have injected a stimulant.
1343
01:21:32,539 --> 01:21:34,305
But the loss of blood has been so great.
1344
01:21:34,672 --> 01:21:37,089
At any rate I'm very glad
you are here, Judge Petroff.
1345
01:21:37,525 --> 01:21:39,980
The entire household,
including Count Volsky.
1346
01:21:40,286 --> 01:21:42,714
Has gone completely to pieces.
I have been trying to get some ice.
1347
01:21:43,349 --> 01:21:45,736
But the servants seem
to be either deaf or drunk.
1348
01:21:47,437 --> 01:21:48,768
There is no ice in the house.
1349
01:21:50,757 --> 01:21:52,945
Then go down to the village and
get some, you drunken sot.
1350
01:21:54,352 --> 01:21:56,239
Judge Petroff, she has
regained consciousness.
1351
01:21:56,453 --> 01:21:58,103
If you want to ask her anything, hurry.
1352
01:22:04,573 --> 01:22:05,254
No.
1353
01:22:06,544 --> 01:22:07,131
No.
1354
01:22:08,866 --> 01:22:09,992
Olga Kuzminichna.
1355
01:22:10,307 --> 01:22:11,410
Do you recognise me?
1356
01:22:11,787 --> 01:22:12,377
No.
1357
01:22:18,373 --> 01:22:19,590
Are you in pain?
1358
01:22:24,311 --> 01:22:26,413
Please. Only absolutely
essential questions.
1359
01:22:26,992 --> 01:22:28,646
Kindly allow me to know my own business.
1360
01:22:41,885 --> 01:22:42,831
I am Petroff.
1361
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:45,942
Examining Magistrate of
the district of Tyrneva.
1362
01:22:46,421 --> 01:22:48,182
I have the honor to be
acquainted with you.
1363
01:22:48,779 --> 01:22:51,116
You may remember that I was
best man at your wedding.
1364
01:22:51,877 --> 01:22:52,624
Yes.
1365
01:22:54,790 --> 01:22:55,736
My wedding.
1366
01:22:56,727 --> 01:22:58,487
Do you feel strong enough
to give evidence?
1367
01:23:01,532 --> 01:23:02,478
Evidence?
1368
01:23:03,524 --> 01:23:06,827
I must tell you that grave insinuations
have been made against your husband.
1369
01:23:07,393 --> 01:23:08,209
Against me?
1370
01:23:08,601 --> 01:23:10,141
Do you still wish to give evidence?
1371
01:23:11,222 --> 01:23:11,974
I do.
1372
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:13,846
Then ..
1373
01:23:15,458 --> 01:23:17,138
Mr Lunin, the Public Prosecutor.
1374
01:23:22,153 --> 01:23:24,084
Judge Petroff has started
to examine the patient.
1375
01:23:24,353 --> 01:23:25,953
There's little time.
- I understand.
1376
01:23:26,284 --> 01:23:28,956
From what I hear downstairs it's a cut
and dried case against the husband.
1377
01:23:30,042 --> 01:23:33,164
However, as he's her husband the
law doesn't compel her to speak.
1378
01:23:33,794 --> 01:23:35,554
Pardon me colleague,
but come to the point.
1379
01:23:35,828 --> 01:23:36,615
The point?
1380
01:23:38,719 --> 01:23:39,822
Very well, colleague.
1381
01:23:42,315 --> 01:23:43,632
Olga Kuzminichna.
1382
01:23:44,275 --> 01:23:46,187
Do you know how you came to be stabbed?
1383
01:23:46,865 --> 01:23:48,892
Try to remember the
events of the past day.
1384
01:23:50,100 --> 01:23:51,058
I will help you.
1385
01:23:51,272 --> 01:23:53,432
There was to be a shooting
party in the woods of Tyrneva.
1386
01:23:54,358 --> 01:23:55,823
It lasted about five hours.
1387
01:23:56,037 --> 01:23:58,082
Beg your pardon colleague
but all this is irrelevant.
1388
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:00,104
May I ask you with due respect.
1389
01:24:00,605 --> 01:24:02,543
Not to interfere with my
method of interrogation.
1390
01:24:04,031 --> 01:24:05,156
Olga Kuzminichna.
1391
01:24:06,123 --> 01:24:08,203
Can you recall what happened
during those hours?
1392
01:24:09,037 --> 01:24:09,854
Yes.
1393
01:24:12,491 --> 01:24:13,215
A man.
1394
01:24:14,052 --> 01:24:15,183
Came out of the woods.
1395
01:24:17,792 --> 01:24:18,908
He wanted me.
1396
01:24:20,864 --> 01:24:21,951
To go away with him.
1397
01:24:25,807 --> 01:24:28,274
I wanted to climb to
the summit of the hill.
1398
01:24:29,647 --> 01:24:30,481
And then ..
1399
01:24:31,848 --> 01:24:33,364
He begged me.
1400
01:24:35,107 --> 01:24:36,556
I laughed at him.
1401
01:24:38,892 --> 01:24:40,092
Then he stabbed you?
1402
01:24:40,852 --> 01:24:41,610
The name.
1403
01:24:43,022 --> 01:24:43,904
Get the name.
1404
01:24:49,324 --> 01:24:50,997
Olga Kuzminichna.
1405
01:24:51,397 --> 01:24:52,987
Are you prepared to name the man?
1406
01:24:54,828 --> 01:24:56,560
His crime will not go unpunished.
1407
01:24:58,989 --> 01:25:01,798
There are three persons in this
room besides me who will testify.
1408
01:25:02,333 --> 01:25:03,557
You needn't be afraid.
1409
01:25:13,411 --> 01:25:14,303
He loved me.
1410
01:25:16,527 --> 01:25:17,738
Her mind is wandering.
1411
01:25:18,034 --> 01:25:18,993
Who was it?
1412
01:25:24,822 --> 01:25:26,213
The heavenly ..
1413
01:25:28,069 --> 01:25:29,349
Electricity.
1414
01:25:32,717 --> 01:25:33,547
Olga.
1415
01:25:34,907 --> 01:25:35,987
Olga Kuzminichna.
1416
01:25:40,358 --> 01:25:42,555
It's no use. She can't hear us anymore.
1417
01:25:58,700 --> 01:26:00,771
She never was really mine,
Judge Petroff, but ..
1418
01:26:02,297 --> 01:26:03,371
I loved her.
1419
01:26:04,369 --> 01:26:06,679
The blatant hypocrisy of the
criminal always astounds me.
1420
01:26:07,476 --> 01:26:09,750
Anton Antonovich Urbenin.
You are under arrest.
1421
01:26:10,302 --> 01:26:12,321
You are charged with the
wilful murder of your wife.
1422
01:26:13,224 --> 01:26:14,647
But surely, colleague ..
1423
01:26:15,121 --> 01:26:17,427
The evidence is wholly
insufficient to warrant an arrest.
1424
01:26:18,041 --> 01:26:19,828
Your magnanimity does
you credit, colleague.
1425
01:26:20,186 --> 01:26:22,370
Suppose we allow the jury
in Kharkov to decide that.
1426
01:26:23,473 --> 01:26:24,575
Get up and follow me.
1427
01:26:26,464 --> 01:26:28,629
But Your Honor ..
- I'm afraid you have to go, Urbenin.
1428
01:27:04,184 --> 01:27:05,763
It's the night train to Kharkov.
1429
01:27:06,194 --> 01:27:07,670
The Kalenins are on it.
1430
01:27:08,208 --> 01:27:09,481
Leave me in peace will you.
1431
01:27:09,831 --> 01:27:12,149
Don't take it so to heart,
Fedor Mikhailovich.
1432
01:27:12,828 --> 01:27:15,525
People are murdered every day.
Look at your newspapers.
1433
01:27:16,528 --> 01:27:20,055
Why don't you take a little trip to
Kharkov and make up with Miss Kalenin?
1434
01:27:22,471 --> 01:27:24,553
She will forgive you, whatever it was.
1435
01:27:25,152 --> 01:27:27,135
You're just like your
father the colonel.
1436
01:27:27,460 --> 01:27:29,060
You always get forgiven.
1437
01:27:30,042 --> 01:27:32,319
See my letter of resignation is posted.
- Yes, sir.
1438
01:27:32,774 --> 01:27:33,744
Resignation?
1439
01:27:34,795 --> 01:27:36,772
How are we going to
live without your salary?
1440
01:27:38,307 --> 01:27:40,287
That's enough. Keep quiet.
- No, I won't.
1441
01:27:40,625 --> 01:27:43,208
I won't stay here and see
you make a fool of yourself.
1442
01:27:43,554 --> 01:27:46,277
If you resign, I resign too.
1443
01:27:46,607 --> 01:27:48,426
You've been resigning
for the last ten years.
1444
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:51,446
But this time I mean it,
Fedor Mikhailovich.
1445
01:27:51,965 --> 01:27:53,841
I am not going to stay and see ..
1446
01:27:54,670 --> 01:27:55,577
Come in.
1447
01:27:56,191 --> 01:27:58,122
We made a very important
discovery, Your Honor.
1448
01:27:58,336 --> 01:27:59,152
What is it?
1449
01:28:00,842 --> 01:28:02,513
Do you know what that is, Your Honor?
1450
01:28:07,944 --> 01:28:10,278
The murder weapon.
- Where did you find it?
1451
01:28:10,676 --> 01:28:12,616
I found it in the
possession of Clara Hanna.
1452
01:28:12,830 --> 01:28:14,904
You know, the Austrian girl
who works for the count?
1453
01:28:17,324 --> 01:28:19,052
She tells some story about ..
1454
01:28:19,369 --> 01:28:22,156
A man who threw it in the lake
while she was swimming.
1455
01:28:24,411 --> 01:28:25,400
Where is she now?
1456
01:28:25,906 --> 01:28:27,751
I put her in prison.
I don't take any chances.
1457
01:28:28,523 --> 01:28:30,135
Did she describe the man she saw?
1458
01:28:30,459 --> 01:28:32,972
She stammered some nonsense but
we'll find out. Let's talk to her.
1459
01:28:33,341 --> 01:28:34,577
Tomorrow. Too late now.
1460
01:28:34,791 --> 01:28:37,579
Your Honor, it's a matter of great
importance. We must lose no time.
1461
01:28:37,940 --> 01:28:40,465
You heard what I said. Tomorrow.
- Fedor Mikhailovich.
1462
01:28:40,826 --> 01:28:42,141
I think Orloff is right.
1463
01:28:42,701 --> 01:28:45,978
You should question the woman
before she concocts a fairy tale.
1464
01:28:46,596 --> 01:28:49,499
Who's the judge here? Will you both show
me how to conduct my own business?
1465
01:28:49,872 --> 01:28:52,034
I only say what I think is right.
- I know what's right.
1466
01:28:52,365 --> 01:28:54,703
You wanted to quit. Here's your chance.
Quit once and for all.
1467
01:28:54,917 --> 01:28:55,561
What?
1468
01:28:55,775 --> 01:28:57,530
I don't want to see
you anymore. Get out.
1469
01:28:57,765 --> 01:28:58,494
You too.
1470
01:28:58,708 --> 01:29:01,157
I think we should examine
her at once, Your Honor.
1471
01:29:04,096 --> 01:29:07,528
But you don't really want me
to leave, Fedor Mikhailovich?
1472
01:29:08,066 --> 01:29:08,833
Get out.
1473
01:29:58,894 --> 01:30:00,510
Do you wish to make a statement?
- No.
1474
01:30:00,724 --> 01:30:03,176
You claim to have seen the murderer?
- Yes. No, I mean ..
1475
01:30:03,483 --> 01:30:05,386
I did see him in a way.
I couldn't see his face.
1476
01:30:05,752 --> 01:30:06,510
You lied?
1477
01:30:06,724 --> 01:30:09,209
No, Your Honor.
I swear to heaven I recognise him.
1478
01:30:09,710 --> 01:30:10,669
I am sure of it.
1479
01:30:12,178 --> 01:30:13,481
How could you recognise him?
1480
01:30:13,785 --> 01:30:15,893
I don't want to get mixed
up in anything, Your Honor.
1481
01:30:16,632 --> 01:30:18,980
I only told Gregory about what I saw.
1482
01:30:19,245 --> 01:30:20,347
And what did you see?
1483
01:30:21,723 --> 01:30:23,683
I have seen a lot the last
few weeks, Your Honor.
1484
01:30:24,566 --> 01:30:27,230
Since Mr Urbenin married that girl Olga.
1485
01:30:27,912 --> 01:30:29,343
I have heard plenty too.
1486
01:30:29,879 --> 01:30:31,324
I only want to know what you saw.
1487
01:30:32,876 --> 01:30:35,526
You see. I was dressing after my swim.
1488
01:30:36,685 --> 01:30:39,748
I like swimming. I always go to the
lake if I have a couple of hours.
1489
01:30:40,101 --> 01:30:42,200
Confine yourself to what you saw.
- Yes, Your Honor.
1490
01:30:42,541 --> 01:30:43,356
And.
1491
01:30:43,991 --> 01:30:46,295
And suddenly, I heard footsteps.
1492
01:30:47,870 --> 01:30:49,580
I couldn't go out you see.
1493
01:30:49,958 --> 01:30:51,204
I wasn't dressed.
1494
01:30:52,447 --> 01:30:53,156
And.
1495
01:30:53,937 --> 01:30:55,862
I saw a man come to the landing.
1496
01:30:56,579 --> 01:30:58,744
And he washed his hands in the water.
1497
01:30:59,344 --> 01:31:01,331
Then he threw a dagger into the lake.
1498
01:31:01,909 --> 01:31:02,819
And left.
1499
01:31:04,114 --> 01:31:05,418
But you didn't see his face.
1500
01:31:05,768 --> 01:31:07,588
What makes you think you
could recognise him?
1501
01:31:10,068 --> 01:31:11,852
I saw his boots and his hands.
1502
01:31:14,427 --> 01:31:18,116
You see there was just a crack
in the wall and I peeped out and ..
1503
01:31:18,330 --> 01:31:20,812
Did you notice anything
particular about his boots?
1504
01:31:21,332 --> 01:31:22,204
Or his hands?
1505
01:31:23,531 --> 01:31:25,018
They were fine boots.
1506
01:31:25,934 --> 01:31:27,090
And his hands.
1507
01:31:28,272 --> 01:31:30,424
They were not the hands
of a working man like ..
1508
01:31:31,222 --> 01:31:32,029
Urbenin.
1509
01:31:32,773 --> 01:31:34,133
They were a gentleman's hands.
1510
01:31:35,525 --> 01:31:36,550
Oh yes.
1511
01:31:38,811 --> 01:31:40,430
On the left hand.
1512
01:31:43,717 --> 01:31:44,936
Or was it the right hand?
1513
01:31:46,941 --> 01:31:47,899
On the left.
1514
01:31:48,453 --> 01:31:50,858
He had a very beautiful ring.
1515
01:31:51,584 --> 01:31:52,314
And I ..
1516
01:31:55,175 --> 01:31:56,429
Very well, A ring.
1517
01:31:57,653 --> 01:31:58,360
Go on.
1518
01:31:59,587 --> 01:32:00,983
Describe the ring.
1519
01:32:05,799 --> 01:32:07,073
I don't know, Your Honor.
1520
01:32:07,973 --> 01:32:08,730
I ..
1521
01:32:09,575 --> 01:32:11,061
I can't remember anything.
1522
01:32:13,226 --> 01:32:14,162
Your Honor.
1523
01:32:14,955 --> 01:32:15,675
I ..
1524
01:32:22,018 --> 01:32:23,160
This was the dagger?
1525
01:32:25,377 --> 01:32:26,632
I can't remember.
1526
01:32:27,502 --> 01:32:29,141
Don't make me say you did it.
1527
01:32:29,846 --> 01:32:30,777
Let me out.
1528
01:32:31,349 --> 01:32:32,767
I swear I won't say anything.
1529
01:32:34,009 --> 01:32:35,718
I won't betray you. I won't.
1530
01:32:36,918 --> 01:32:37,757
Betray?
1531
01:32:40,608 --> 01:32:42,253
I don't know what you're talking about.
1532
01:32:43,014 --> 01:32:43,830
Believe me.
1533
01:32:45,105 --> 01:32:46,614
I could never give you away.
1534
01:32:47,151 --> 01:32:48,466
Anyone else but you.
1535
01:32:55,135 --> 01:32:56,295
Why are you frightened?
1536
01:32:57,503 --> 01:32:58,709
Fedor Mikhailovich.
1537
01:32:59,907 --> 01:33:01,070
I like you so much.
1538
01:33:02,604 --> 01:33:03,494
Always.
1539
01:33:06,764 --> 01:33:08,256
I won't say anything.
1540
01:33:09,485 --> 01:33:10,585
You can trust me.
1541
01:33:10,828 --> 01:33:12,425
Anton Antonovich Urbenin.
1542
01:33:12,819 --> 01:33:14,729
Raise your hands and
show them to the witness.
1543
01:33:18,030 --> 01:33:19,626
Do you recognise those hands?
1544
01:33:23,808 --> 01:33:24,536
I ..
1545
01:33:26,888 --> 01:33:27,856
I don't know.
1546
01:33:30,512 --> 01:33:31,576
I can't remember.
1547
01:33:31,968 --> 01:33:33,070
Witness Clara Heller.
1548
01:33:33,328 --> 01:33:36,200
Were the hands you saw the hands
of a peasant like those or not?
1549
01:33:36,543 --> 01:33:38,649
No. They were not a peasant's hands.
1550
01:33:38,863 --> 01:33:40,545
They must have been a gentleman's hands.
1551
01:33:40,877 --> 01:33:42,207
Is that what you want to say?
1552
01:33:42,815 --> 01:33:43,528
Yes.
1553
01:33:44,157 --> 01:33:44,954
No. No.
1554
01:33:45,809 --> 01:33:47,507
No, not the hands of a gentleman.
1555
01:33:48,127 --> 01:33:50,024
Then they can only have
been a peasant's hands.
1556
01:33:50,238 --> 01:33:50,946
Right?
1557
01:33:52,045 --> 01:33:52,740
I ..
1558
01:33:53,585 --> 01:33:54,278
I ..
1559
01:33:54,552 --> 01:33:56,907
Answer. Were they a gentleman's
or a peasant's hands?
1560
01:33:59,989 --> 01:34:02,050
Answer the public prosecutor's question.
1561
01:34:03,934 --> 01:34:04,579
They.
1562
01:34:05,462 --> 01:34:06,935
They were not a gentleman's hands.
1563
01:34:07,603 --> 01:34:08,990
So they were a peasant's hands.
1564
01:34:09,367 --> 01:34:11,111
Thank you. That is all, Your Honor.
1565
01:34:11,603 --> 01:34:12,673
Witness dismissed.
1566
01:34:13,096 --> 01:34:14,461
You may return to your place.
1567
01:34:14,786 --> 01:34:15,459
But ..
1568
01:34:16,420 --> 01:34:17,246
But I ..
1569
01:34:19,955 --> 01:34:22,843
I had impressed upon Clara
not to incriminate Urbenin.
1570
01:34:23,230 --> 01:34:25,479
But her slow peasant's mind wavered.
1571
01:34:25,871 --> 01:34:29,210
And what she said confirmed Urbenin's
guilt rather than cleared him.
1572
01:34:30,529 --> 01:34:32,394
There was only one thing for me to do.
1573
01:34:33,316 --> 01:34:36,153
With the only honest impulse
I've ever had in my life.
1574
01:34:36,367 --> 01:34:37,725
I rose to address the court.
1575
01:34:37,939 --> 01:34:39,216
Sit down please.
1576
01:34:40,844 --> 01:34:42,287
Order in the courtroom.
1577
01:34:43,308 --> 01:34:45,724
A hundred times during the
proceedings that followed ..
1578
01:34:45,938 --> 01:34:47,659
I could have interposed my confession.
1579
01:34:48,175 --> 01:34:51,719
But to my confused mind the chance
I had let slip seemed lost forever.
1580
01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:54,475
In reality, it was the will to live.
1581
01:34:54,891 --> 01:34:56,592
Inherent in every human being.
1582
01:34:57,042 --> 01:35:00,784
That caused me to commit my
second and more dastardly crime.
1583
01:35:02,131 --> 01:35:03,714
Anton Antonovich Urbenin.
1584
01:35:03,928 --> 01:35:05,232
Witnesses testified that ..
1585
01:35:05,446 --> 01:35:08,499
On several occasions out of jealousy
you threatened to kill your wife.
1586
01:35:10,614 --> 01:35:11,617
That isn't true.
1587
01:35:12,200 --> 01:35:14,763
But you're an extremely jealous man.
Is that true?
1588
01:35:15,374 --> 01:35:16,321
Yes, I was.
1589
01:35:16,781 --> 01:35:18,398
So the motive for the murder was there.
1590
01:35:18,951 --> 01:35:20,970
Having considered all
the evidence carefully.
1591
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:24,760
I'm sure the jury will find this
man is unmistakeably guilty.
1592
01:35:25,505 --> 01:35:29,158
For one of the most bestial crimes it's
ever been my misfortune to investigate.
1593
01:35:30,654 --> 01:35:32,597
I couldn't have killed Orlinka.
1594
01:35:33,843 --> 01:35:34,688
I loved her.
1595
01:35:36,284 --> 01:35:38,062
Don't you understand? I loved her.
1596
01:35:41,294 --> 01:35:43,090
I will hear that 'I loved her'.
1597
01:35:43,668 --> 01:35:45,081
Until the end of my life.
1598
01:35:46,494 --> 01:35:50,371
I will never forget the moment when the
jurymen having reached their verdict ..
1599
01:35:50,672 --> 01:35:52,799
Returned to the courtroom
and their foreman ..
1600
01:35:53,325 --> 01:35:56,865
A merchant or shopkeeper
with a bony, bird-like face.
1601
01:35:57,447 --> 01:35:58,822
Rattled off their decision.
1602
01:35:59,993 --> 01:36:04,463
I'll never be able to erase the memory
of Urbenin's blank and hopeless face.
1603
01:36:04,991 --> 01:36:07,065
As he listened to the presiding judge.
1604
01:36:07,835 --> 01:36:08,823
Sentencing him.
1605
01:36:09,205 --> 01:36:13,418
To lifelong forced labor in
the salt mines of Siberia.
1606
01:36:17,634 --> 01:36:18,978
Seven years have passed.
1607
01:36:20,445 --> 01:36:22,903
Russia has died and has been reborn.
1608
01:36:24,136 --> 01:36:26,063
But my own world is irrevocably dead.
1609
01:36:26,890 --> 01:36:28,664
I killed it with my own hands.
1610
01:36:30,494 --> 01:36:33,498
As I am writing this I sit
in a hovel in Kharkov.
1611
01:36:33,804 --> 01:36:35,329
Hungry. I'll-shaven.
1612
01:36:35,851 --> 01:36:37,329
And numb with cold.
1613
01:36:38,433 --> 01:36:40,118
Reason tells me clearly enough ..
1614
01:36:40,332 --> 01:36:43,211
That it's impossible to retrieve
the things I have forfeited.
1615
01:36:44,373 --> 01:36:47,348
But hope still evokes a
dream of bliss before me.
1616
01:36:48,187 --> 01:36:49,508
And since we live by hope.
1617
01:36:50,506 --> 01:36:53,002
That impossible dream keeps me alive.
1618
01:37:12,908 --> 01:37:15,398
It's getting late, Nadena.
I will mail the rejections.
1619
01:37:17,292 --> 01:37:18,480
Is that one interesting?
1620
01:37:19,630 --> 01:37:20,465
To me, yes.
1621
01:37:20,789 --> 01:37:21,777
What is it about?
1622
01:37:22,178 --> 01:37:22,823
Oh ..
1623
01:37:23,945 --> 01:37:25,067
You might call it ..
1624
01:37:25,841 --> 01:37:26,762
A love story.
1625
01:37:27,231 --> 01:37:28,573
Oh. Then let's publish it.
1626
01:37:29,343 --> 01:37:30,366
No. It would ..
1627
01:37:31,766 --> 01:37:34,311
It's out of the question.
- Then I had better send it back.
1628
01:37:35,278 --> 01:37:35,865
No.
1629
01:37:36,733 --> 01:37:37,606
No, leave it.
1630
01:37:38,803 --> 01:37:40,622
I'll ring for you when
I have addressed it.
1631
01:37:41,507 --> 01:37:42,395
Very well.
1632
01:38:08,126 --> 01:38:08,771
Look.
1633
01:38:09,475 --> 01:38:10,230
Fedor.
1634
01:38:10,536 --> 01:38:11,393
Vodka.
1635
01:38:12,077 --> 01:38:14,286
Beautiful divine vodka.
1636
01:38:15,077 --> 01:38:16,445
I wish it had been champagne.
1637
01:38:17,293 --> 01:38:19,225
However, that's not all.
1638
01:38:19,478 --> 01:38:21,920
Sausage. Luscious pork sausage.
1639
01:38:22,183 --> 01:38:23,375
Where did you get it?
1640
01:38:23,685 --> 01:38:25,511
May I offer you a cigarette,
comrade Fedor?
1641
01:38:26,314 --> 01:38:27,878
Why thank you, comrade Piggy.
1642
01:38:28,194 --> 01:38:30,287
Don't tell me the current
policy has been reversed ..
1643
01:38:30,501 --> 01:38:32,496
And aristocrats now steal
from the revolutionaries.
1644
01:38:32,815 --> 01:38:33,586
No, no.
1645
01:38:33,911 --> 01:38:35,826
When a gentleman can
no longer obtain credit.
1646
01:38:36,380 --> 01:38:37,873
He may as well pay cash.
1647
01:38:38,253 --> 01:38:42,435
I don't care how you came by it. I have
no conscience where vodka is concerned.
1648
01:38:43,567 --> 01:38:44,670
To the good old days.
1649
01:38:48,291 --> 01:38:49,465
[ Baby crying ]
1650
01:38:55,732 --> 01:38:57,209
Comrade Tchelinin.
- What is it?
1651
01:38:57,511 --> 01:39:00,544
We would be very grateful if you would
appease that charming infant of yours.
1652
01:39:00,758 --> 01:39:01,944
We are trying to work.
1653
01:39:02,306 --> 01:39:04,610
If you don't like it why not
go back to your noble estate?
1654
01:39:04,897 --> 01:39:05,626
I can't.
1655
01:39:05,977 --> 01:39:08,870
It's been converted into a home
for half-witted brats like yours.
1656
01:39:09,632 --> 01:39:10,795
That will quiet him.
1657
01:39:13,454 --> 01:39:15,185
Don't argue with them,
Fedor. Don't argue.
1658
01:39:15,597 --> 01:39:17,722
Where were we?
- Piggy, this vodka is awful.
1659
01:39:18,106 --> 01:39:19,566
It's an awful revolution, Fedor.
1660
01:39:19,903 --> 01:39:21,462
Tell me, where did you get the money?
1661
01:39:21,676 --> 01:39:23,620
You know the thing you're
so mysterious about.
1662
01:39:23,834 --> 01:39:26,165
That you kept hidden even from
me and never tried to sell?
1663
01:39:27,315 --> 01:39:29,979
My manuscript?
- I got money for it, Fedor. Money.
1664
01:39:30,362 --> 01:39:32,181
She seemed interested.
Maybe she will buy it.
1665
01:39:32,695 --> 01:39:34,658
Who are you talking about?
- Nadena Kalenin.
1666
01:39:35,272 --> 01:39:37,312
Nadena?
- She's the editor of The Times.
1667
01:39:38,661 --> 01:39:39,725
You fool.
1668
01:39:40,545 --> 01:39:41,767
You fool.
1669
01:39:47,222 --> 01:39:48,299
But Fedor.
1670
01:40:15,067 --> 01:40:15,743
Fedor.
1671
01:40:21,827 --> 01:40:23,553
Yes. I know I have changed.
1672
01:40:23,856 --> 01:40:24,625
You have.
1673
01:40:27,507 --> 01:40:28,581
I was expecting you.
1674
01:40:30,699 --> 01:40:31,917
You mean, you've read it?
1675
01:40:32,425 --> 01:40:33,304
Yes, Fedor.
1676
01:40:35,167 --> 01:40:38,042
You can't imagine what it means
to live with a secret like that.
1677
01:40:38,701 --> 01:40:40,544
Every day, every night.
1678
01:40:41,435 --> 01:40:43,203
How many times I have tried to confess.
1679
01:40:43,890 --> 01:40:45,051
At Urbenin's trial.
1680
01:40:45,808 --> 01:40:47,688
That day in the church.
I started telling you.
1681
01:40:49,038 --> 01:40:50,969
But the will to live is
stronger than conscience.
1682
01:40:51,329 --> 01:40:53,989
Stronger than the pity I felt
for Urbenin as Olga died.
1683
01:40:54,965 --> 01:40:55,981
Now at least, you.
1684
01:40:56,195 --> 01:40:57,928
The person for whom
I wrote my confession.
1685
01:40:58,223 --> 01:40:59,154
Know the truth.
1686
01:40:59,538 --> 01:41:01,599
For 7 years we were kept
apart by the memory of Olga.
1687
01:41:01,929 --> 01:41:03,259
Isn't that punishment enough?
1688
01:41:05,130 --> 01:41:06,119
But now.
1689
01:41:07,966 --> 01:41:10,268
What is to prevent us
starting life over again?
1690
01:41:11,587 --> 01:41:12,346
Together.
1691
01:41:12,685 --> 01:41:13,706
An innocent man.
1692
01:41:14,273 --> 01:41:15,119
In Siberia.
1693
01:41:15,660 --> 01:41:17,735
Urbenin? How do you
know he is still alive?
1694
01:41:17,999 --> 01:41:20,044
As a matter of fact he ceased
to live when Olga died.
1695
01:41:20,374 --> 01:41:21,956
But we're still young Nadinka.
1696
01:41:23,419 --> 01:41:24,696
It is no use, Fedor.
1697
01:41:25,381 --> 01:41:28,386
After I finished your story I knew there
was only one thing for me to do.
1698
01:41:28,892 --> 01:41:29,880
What do you mean?
1699
01:41:30,234 --> 01:41:31,365
Send it to the police.
1700
01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:34,561
You needn't worry, Fedor.
1701
01:41:35,190 --> 01:41:37,746
I tried to send it but I
didn't have the courage.
1702
01:41:38,260 --> 01:41:40,794
Do what you want with it and if it
is any comfort to you to know it ..
1703
01:41:41,115 --> 01:41:42,754
I was too weak to give you away.
1704
01:41:44,654 --> 01:41:45,565
Nadena.
1705
01:41:46,927 --> 01:41:49,455
Was weakness your only
reason for not sending it?
1706
01:41:51,187 --> 01:41:52,158
No, Fedor.
1707
01:41:53,441 --> 01:41:54,543
I wanted to give you.
1708
01:41:55,359 --> 01:41:56,625
One last chance.
1709
01:41:58,420 --> 01:42:00,073
To let me love you again.
1710
01:43:10,978 --> 01:43:12,251
Make up your mind, comrade.
1711
01:43:13,264 --> 01:43:14,992
I have letters to post too.
1712
01:44:18,773 --> 01:44:20,147
Wait. Comrade.
1713
01:44:20,933 --> 01:44:21,663
Comrade.
1714
01:44:22,445 --> 01:44:24,274
Something of mine was posted by mistake.
1715
01:44:24,488 --> 01:44:26,562
Too late, comrade.
- I need it. I posted it to myself.
1716
01:44:26,911 --> 01:44:29,128
All the same. It's illegal.
- I don't care. I must have it.
1717
01:44:29,426 --> 01:44:31,367
Let go. I tell you it's
against regulations.
1718
01:44:31,942 --> 01:44:33,886
Help! Police. Stop thief.
1719
01:44:34,778 --> 01:44:35,635
Thief.
1720
01:44:39,469 --> 01:44:40,248
Stop him.
1721
01:44:41,017 --> 01:44:41,861
Stop, thief.
1722
01:44:55,660 --> 01:44:56,969
Everybody quiet.
1723
01:44:57,219 --> 01:44:59,431
Calm down now. Calm down, please.
1724
01:45:04,887 --> 01:45:06,048
You must have been mad.
1725
01:45:06,972 --> 01:45:08,476
What made you do a thing like that?
1726
01:45:10,794 --> 01:45:11,792
I haven't any ..
1727
01:45:12,879 --> 01:45:14,007
Electricity.
1728
01:45:21,861 --> 01:45:24,362
He's dead alright.
- Search him for identification.
1729
01:45:30,431 --> 01:45:31,263
Any luck?
1730
01:45:32,727 --> 01:45:33,624
Only this.
1731
01:45:36,980 --> 01:45:39,337
This is of no use.
It's only an old dance book.
1732
01:45:40,308 --> 01:45:41,266
Take him inside.
1733
01:45:41,652 --> 01:45:43,739
Break it up. Come on.
- Don't stand around. Clear out.
1734
01:45:44,065 --> 01:45:45,258
And you. Play.
1735
01:45:45,567 --> 01:45:46,965
Come on, play up.
1736
01:46:20,529 --> 01:46:21,243
..s-d..
