1
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
I don't know

2
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,040
So, Gromov, open up, please.

3
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,480
Gromov, it's me, Leonakov, the janitor.

4
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:12,020
Mr. Bravo, open up, please.

5
00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:19,060
Oh!

6
00:04:19,459 --> 00:04:23,300
You are under arrest by the order of the
People's Commissariat of Internal

7
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:28,380
Affairs. Come with us. What have I done?
Article 58, counter-revolutionary

8
00:04:28,380 --> 00:04:31,480
activity. Please, may I get dressed?
Come with us! Take him!

9
00:04:31,740 --> 00:04:32,740
May I get dressed?

10
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,000
Let me out!

11
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,300
What have I done?

12
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,800
What have I done?

13
00:08:01,890 --> 00:08:03,950
Prisoner! Letter A.

14
00:08:04,830 --> 00:08:05,830
What?

15
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:07,410
State your name.

16
00:08:08,430 --> 00:08:09,850
Alexei Abramov.

17
00:08:10,570 --> 00:08:12,530
Abramov! Step out.

18
00:09:10,849 --> 00:09:12,510
Professor, it's good to see you.

19
00:09:14,050 --> 00:09:19,750
Vladimir Stepanovich, I... It has been
too long.

20
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:21,850
Too long, Professor.

21
00:09:24,050 --> 00:09:25,470
I've thought of you so often.

22
00:09:26,490 --> 00:09:28,990
It's unfortunate I need to see you here
this way.

23
00:09:29,630 --> 00:09:32,330
I would much rather be seeing you under
better circumstances.

24
00:09:33,270 --> 00:09:35,770
I agree, I agree, of course.

25
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:39,010
In fact, I...

26
00:09:39,310 --> 00:09:40,870
I do not know why I am here.

27
00:09:43,010 --> 00:09:49,210
Valoria, they take me out of my bed, and
they brought me here, and they tell me

28
00:09:49,210 --> 00:09:50,210
nothing.

29
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:56,130
It's unfortunate, but you can't expect
anything else.

30
00:09:58,130 --> 00:10:03,450
They have to deal with so many enemies
of the state, all of whom claim their

31
00:10:03,450 --> 00:10:06,270
innocence, who protest, who cry.

32
00:10:10,380 --> 00:10:11,940
Of course. Of course.

33
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,000
Do you remember the old days, Professor?

34
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,520
At the university?

35
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:39,580
Of course. You were... You were one of
my best students.

36
00:10:40,270 --> 00:10:41,270
Ah.

37
00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:46,890
Tolstoy, Dostoevsky.

38
00:10:47,790 --> 00:10:50,050
You were partial to the master, I
believe.

39
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:59,510
What was the name of that character from
Crime and Punishment?

40
00:11:02,330 --> 00:11:03,330
Raskolnikov.

41
00:11:04,530 --> 00:11:07,830
Raskolnikov. I never understood him.

42
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:14,240
He got away with murdering the old
woman, and then he spends hundreds of

43
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,980
pages agonizing and then confesses.

44
00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:22,900
What was the purpose of his confession,
Professor?

45
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,680
It cleansed his soul.

46
00:11:38,410 --> 00:11:40,930
The immortal soul, the immaterial soul.

47
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:45,930
I always wondered of what the soul is
made.

48
00:11:46,330 --> 00:11:49,690
It always seemed like lazy thinking to
me.

49
00:11:51,330 --> 00:11:53,010
I lectured on the book.

50
00:11:53,930 --> 00:11:56,070
I never said I agreed with it.

51
00:12:35,530 --> 00:12:36,650
Are you all right, Griffith?

52
00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:39,110
Yes, it is, of course. I'm fine.

53
00:12:41,390 --> 00:12:42,390
I'm sorry.

54
00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:45,690
Can anyone offer you a drink?

55
00:12:50,010 --> 00:12:51,010
No.

56
00:12:51,330 --> 00:12:52,530
Well, let me help you with that.

57
00:12:53,550 --> 00:12:56,270
You would like a drink, wouldn't you?

58
00:12:57,230 --> 00:12:58,230
Yes.

59
00:12:58,750 --> 00:12:59,750
I could use one.

60
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,800
My colleague will help you with
something.

61
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,280
Will vodka suffice? Yes, more than
suffice.

62
00:13:16,780 --> 00:13:20,400
Bring our guest a bottle of vodka and a
glass, of course.

63
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:21,680
Yes, comrade lieutenant.

64
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:30,560
You'll be here shortly.

65
00:13:32,260 --> 00:13:33,260
Now.

66
00:13:34,620 --> 00:13:36,960
As good as it has been to...

67
00:13:37,450 --> 00:13:38,450
Catch up with you.

68
00:13:39,250 --> 00:13:41,030
I'm afraid we must get down to business.

69
00:13:42,190 --> 00:13:43,370
Yes, yes.

70
00:13:44,590 --> 00:13:46,410
Yes, I would like to know why I'm here.

71
00:13:47,610 --> 00:13:48,610
Of course.

72
00:13:51,390 --> 00:13:52,950
But you already know, don't you?

73
00:13:57,830 --> 00:13:58,830
No.

74
00:13:59,410 --> 00:14:01,970
I was brought in like this.

75
00:14:02,730 --> 00:14:04,010
That is all I know.

76
00:14:06,350 --> 00:14:08,970
Now I don't think that's quite true,
Professor.

77
00:14:35,690 --> 00:14:36,990
Do you recognize this man?

78
00:14:46,270 --> 00:14:48,070
He's an old colleague of yours.

79
00:14:50,190 --> 00:14:52,050
Father Nikolai Mikulski.

80
00:14:52,610 --> 00:14:53,630
Eastern Orthodox.

81
00:14:55,390 --> 00:14:56,950
Oh, come on now, Professor.

82
00:14:57,170 --> 00:14:58,170
You know him.

83
00:14:58,550 --> 00:14:59,690
I know him.

84
00:15:00,170 --> 00:15:01,710
From our days at the university.

85
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:08,780
Yes, I remember him now.

86
00:15:09,180 --> 00:15:11,560
Have you seen him lately?

87
00:15:11,780 --> 00:15:13,740
No, I haven't seen him in years.

88
00:15:14,140 --> 00:15:16,020
I never went to his services.

89
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,220
You two were quite friendly at the
university, I recall.

90
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,560
Let me check on that drink.

91
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:40,220
No. No.

92
00:15:42,660 --> 00:15:45,600
I'm sure I saw you walking to visit him
on a Sunday.

93
00:15:46,620 --> 00:15:48,140
We were playing chess.

94
00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:54,660
The good old days.

95
00:15:57,900 --> 00:16:02,240
Do you remember staying up late to talk
over Pushkin?

96
00:16:04,540 --> 00:16:05,860
Yes, Pushkin.

97
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,340
When did you last see Father Mikulski?

98
00:16:21,740 --> 00:16:22,740
Please,

99
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:24,700
Claudia.

100
00:16:25,340 --> 00:16:30,000
I have not seen Father Mikulski in
years. Please.

101
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:31,960
You know me.

102
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,920
Tell them that they must let me go.

103
00:16:39,980 --> 00:16:41,480
It's not how it works, Professor.

104
00:16:43,580 --> 00:16:44,780
You're here for a reason.

105
00:16:49,130 --> 00:16:50,130
Of course.

106
00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:52,590
I never said that you weren't.

107
00:16:54,510 --> 00:16:56,450
But you're here for a reason.

108
00:16:56,930 --> 00:17:00,150
Unless you think the state has made a
mistake.

109
00:17:00,390 --> 00:17:01,389
No, no.

110
00:17:01,390 --> 00:17:02,390
Of course not.

111
00:17:03,730 --> 00:17:05,730
A mix-up, perhaps.

112
00:17:06,190 --> 00:17:07,430
There are no mix-ups.

113
00:17:09,650 --> 00:17:13,329
But maybe you think I've erred in some
way.

114
00:17:14,430 --> 00:17:18,130
Then you tell.

115
00:17:18,540 --> 00:17:20,520
Me. Why are you here?

116
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,540
I don't know.

117
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,579
I think that you do.

118
00:17:30,580 --> 00:17:33,180
You've seen Father Mikulski, haven't
you?

119
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:35,140
No.

120
00:17:36,260 --> 00:17:38,900
I would have no occasion to, you see.

121
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:45,100
I haven't been at the university in many
years. I know. I've read your file.

122
00:17:47,820 --> 00:17:50,220
It's the Ministry of Transport.

123
00:17:50,860 --> 00:17:53,460
Aren't you a little overqualified for
that position?

124
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,180
We must all serve the people.

125
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:03,920
Professor.

126
00:18:06,980 --> 00:18:08,940
Lies endanger the soul.

127
00:18:10,420 --> 00:18:12,880
Or so I remember you saying from your
class.

128
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,700
There is much that endangers the soul.

129
00:18:21,380 --> 00:18:22,380
Such as?

130
00:18:24,620 --> 00:18:26,100
Could I have that drink?

131
00:19:27,110 --> 00:19:28,110
The soul.

132
00:19:29,290 --> 00:19:31,530
Such a strange concept, the soul.

133
00:19:33,430 --> 00:19:36,130
Is that what you were talking about with
Father Mikulski?

134
00:19:36,350 --> 00:19:38,230
I told you I haven't seen him.

135
00:19:38,470 --> 00:19:39,470
Are you sure?

136
00:19:44,090 --> 00:19:45,090
Yes.

137
00:19:46,870 --> 00:19:48,390
Why are you lying to me, Professor?

138
00:19:49,930 --> 00:19:55,610
You know that we know the answers to our
questions. Then why ask the question?

139
00:19:57,070 --> 00:20:00,790
Because what matters is who says what.

140
00:20:01,550 --> 00:20:05,730
The words coming out of my mouth mean
nothing. From yours, they mean something

141
00:20:05,730 --> 00:20:06,730
else.

142
00:20:07,730 --> 00:20:08,990
But I know nothing.

143
00:20:47,110 --> 00:20:52,130
Old friends, there is no reason to be so
standoffish on these matters.

144
00:20:53,050 --> 00:20:55,590
We know that you know.

145
00:20:56,450 --> 00:20:59,450
All we need is your confirmation.

146
00:21:02,190 --> 00:21:06,270
And what would happen to Father
Mikulski?

147
00:21:06,610 --> 00:21:09,630
A few years in a labor camp serving the
people.

148
00:21:10,030 --> 00:21:11,650
He could even minister to them.

149
00:21:12,330 --> 00:21:16,210
We have camps specializing in those who
traffic in the opiate of the masses.

150
00:21:18,250 --> 00:21:21,790
I do not know anything of what you are
talking about.

151
00:21:23,050 --> 00:21:29,750
To be honest, you know, it is shocking
to me that you are so reticent to help

152
00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:32,850
the state now. You have helped us
before, many times.

153
00:21:35,410 --> 00:21:38,650
The first time, 1922.

154
00:21:40,190 --> 00:21:42,630
Professor Kolchak.

155
00:21:43,150 --> 00:21:44,910
He taught mathematics, didn't he?

156
00:21:45,730 --> 00:21:46,730
And then...

157
00:21:48,580 --> 00:21:50,620
1927. Professor Strum.

158
00:21:52,020 --> 00:21:53,040
Literature department.

159
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,600
As I recall, you had quite the rivalry
with Strum.

160
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,120
Wasn't he nominated for the Order of the
Red Star of Labor?

161
00:22:03,180 --> 00:22:08,400
He was highly celebrated for his poem
about Lenin.

162
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,320
To be honest, I found it tedious.

163
00:22:13,740 --> 00:22:18,290
Who needs... 3,000 lines of epic poetry
about a workers' revolution.

164
00:22:18,810 --> 00:22:21,210
I heard even Lenin found it exhausting.

165
00:22:23,150 --> 00:22:25,310
Whatever happened to Ström?

166
00:22:28,270 --> 00:22:31,470
He killed himself. Yes, that's right.

167
00:22:33,190 --> 00:22:34,430
How did he do it?

168
00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:37,470
Hanging.

169
00:22:46,700 --> 00:22:50,700
I remember there was talk about an
unpublished suicide letter.

170
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,320
Well, at least his poetry will outlive
him.

171
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,740
Did you like him?

172
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,520
I didn't know him well. I only told the
Cheka the answers to their questions.

173
00:23:08,460 --> 00:23:10,880
And yet you won't do the same now.

174
00:23:14,990 --> 00:23:17,810
Because I don't know anything this time.

175
00:23:20,330 --> 00:23:26,610
Professor, you knew Korlchuk and Stroom
better than you let on.

176
00:23:27,630 --> 00:23:34,070
In fact, I'm sure you told yourself many
things to justify

177
00:23:34,070 --> 00:23:37,210
the betrayal of Stroom and the others.

178
00:23:39,190 --> 00:23:40,690
And in the end...

179
00:23:43,790 --> 00:23:45,230
It was jealousy, wasn't it?

180
00:23:52,150 --> 00:23:55,010
There's no need to be ashamed,
Professor. It's the way of the world.

181
00:23:55,750 --> 00:24:01,170
Oh, the flames that burn in men who
attempt to beat down those flames with

182
00:24:01,170 --> 00:24:02,170
their reason.

183
00:24:02,670 --> 00:24:04,670
To no avail, of course.

184
00:24:07,470 --> 00:24:09,490
You've kept up on your pushkin, I see.

185
00:24:30,410 --> 00:24:32,730
drinking vodka, reading Pushkin.

186
00:24:33,350 --> 00:24:36,610
Just give us what we need.

187
00:24:41,370 --> 00:24:43,090
You want me to lie?

188
00:24:45,890 --> 00:24:47,750
I've told you I know nothing.

189
00:24:54,370 --> 00:24:58,430
Better the illusions that exalt us than
ten thousand truths.

190
00:25:06,060 --> 00:25:07,440
Do not lie to yourself.

191
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:15,700
The man who lies to himself and listens
to his own lies

192
00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:21,980
comes to a point where he doesn't
discern any truth,

193
00:25:22,260 --> 00:25:27,000
either in himself or anywhere around
him.

194
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:33,560
And thus, he falls into disrespect
towards himself.

195
00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:41,500
and others, and not respecting anyone he
ceases

196
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:42,500
to love.

197
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:48,900
And having no love, he gives himself up

198
00:25:48,900 --> 00:25:55,740
to passions and coarse pleasures in

199
00:25:55,740 --> 00:26:01,060
order to occupy and amuse himself and in
his vices.

200
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,300
reaches complete bestiality.

201
00:26:08,380 --> 00:26:15,080
And it all comes from continually lying
to

202
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,080
others.

203
00:26:16,540 --> 00:26:17,620
And himself.

204
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,840
Or Dostoevsky.

205
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,000
Yes, Dostoevsky.

206
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:30,440
You know, I once attended a dinner party
with Lenin.

207
00:26:31,140 --> 00:26:32,540
It's quite the honor.

208
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,160
And the topic of Dostoevsky came up.

209
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,280
Trotsky was there.

210
00:26:40,300 --> 00:26:46,540
And the bastard says to Lenin that with
his version of dialectical

211
00:26:46,540 --> 00:26:53,200
materialism, all will be permitted, just
as Raskolnikov from Crime and

212
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,300
Punishment had theorized.

213
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,440
Lenin was so angry, he could have spit.

214
00:27:10,220 --> 00:27:11,800
Says the seething old man.

215
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:19,280
We have come down to the sentiments and
petty words of a soppy

216
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,400
intellectual.

217
00:27:21,620 --> 00:27:27,840
Theodora. Who wishes to drown
revolutionary

218
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,720
questions in moralizing vomit.

219
00:27:33,940 --> 00:27:39,000
Or perhaps his emotional instability.

220
00:27:39,630 --> 00:27:41,430
appeals to types like you.

221
00:27:41,930 --> 00:27:43,870
And what did Trotsky say?

222
00:27:44,810 --> 00:27:48,030
Trotsky... started laughing.

223
00:27:49,170 --> 00:27:50,830
Then we all started laughing.

224
00:27:51,870 --> 00:27:54,650
Lion was quite the character.

225
00:27:57,490 --> 00:27:59,390
How did you know he was joking?

226
00:28:09,870 --> 00:28:15,250
You know, Vladimir, you were one of my
finest students.

227
00:28:17,250 --> 00:28:19,870
What did you think of Lennon's analysis?

228
00:28:21,610 --> 00:28:23,270
What does it matter what I think?

229
00:28:23,990 --> 00:28:28,910
Because, in spite of it all, you still
have a soul.

230
00:28:30,350 --> 00:28:31,490
You're a human being.

231
00:28:32,410 --> 00:28:33,630
So are we all.

232
00:28:34,930 --> 00:28:41,080
And yet you'd be surprised how... How
easily the human being is reduced to a

233
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,920
stinking, festering corpse.

234
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,880
Don't speak to me of the soul.

235
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,860
I've seen too many pieces of rotting
meat in the mud for that child's talk.

236
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,600
What happened to you?

237
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,740
You didn't know me, Professor.

238
00:29:00,740 --> 00:29:01,740
I did.

239
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:04,500
No, Professor.

240
00:29:06,970 --> 00:29:07,970
I thought you did.

241
00:29:15,110 --> 00:29:19,730
You spoke about the soul, this vague
thing.

242
00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:27,670
But you know who truly knew me, knew me
down

243
00:29:27,670 --> 00:29:30,050
to the marrow of my bones?

244
00:29:37,260 --> 00:29:38,620
Death knew me wonderfully well.

245
00:29:39,660 --> 00:29:41,560
He walked with me in the trenches.

246
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:48,620
He watched me and laughed as I tried to
stuff the guts back into my friends.

247
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:51,940
But you know what?

248
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,200
Death was an excellent teacher.

249
00:29:57,220 --> 00:30:03,960
He taught me that in the end, we are fat
and bones and gristle and stink.

250
00:30:06,190 --> 00:30:07,670
You are angry with me.

251
00:30:08,770 --> 00:30:09,770
No, Professor.

252
00:30:09,910 --> 00:30:11,950
You and your kind are soft.

253
00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:19,210
Soft in the belly, in the hands, in the
heart, in the head.

254
00:30:24,110 --> 00:30:25,350
I was soft too.

255
00:30:27,870 --> 00:30:28,930
But no longer.

256
00:30:31,690 --> 00:30:34,710
Which is why I think you will tell me.

257
00:30:35,370 --> 00:30:36,370
What I need.

258
00:30:39,150 --> 00:30:40,550
What is it you need?

259
00:30:43,070 --> 00:30:49,230
We need you to tell us that Father
Mikulski was collaborating with the

260
00:30:49,230 --> 00:30:51,870
capitalists, an enemy of the state.

261
00:30:55,730 --> 00:30:56,910
But he isn't.

262
00:30:59,230 --> 00:31:00,230
He is.

263
00:31:06,380 --> 00:31:09,520
We shut down his church, to be sure.

264
00:31:10,460 --> 00:31:14,860
But he's still distributing his
pamphlets,

265
00:31:15,020 --> 00:31:21,160
quoting the Bible, the words of a
simpleton,

266
00:31:21,340 --> 00:31:23,280
quoting a madman.

267
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:26,960
Stand up.

268
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,420
Read out loud, professor, like you used
to in class.

269
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,980
You always had such a wonderfully
melodious voice.

270
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,560
Christ is beyond the party.

271
00:32:28,660 --> 00:32:34,160
He came to this world to redeem us from
sin.

272
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,360
Not to cast us down before faceless.

273
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:40,840
Machine.

274
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,980
Counter-revolutionary words.

275
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,520
But are they true?

276
00:32:51,180 --> 00:32:52,500
What is truth?

277
00:32:54,380 --> 00:32:56,520
Pilate asked the same question.

278
00:32:56,980 --> 00:33:00,300
And the people demanded Barabbas.

279
00:33:02,140 --> 00:33:04,960
They always demand Barabbas.

280
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,520
Professor, are you ill?

281
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:13,980
Would you like that drink?

282
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,660
No, I'm all right.

283
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:17,759
Are you sure?

284
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:18,760
Yes, I'm fine.

285
00:33:19,300 --> 00:33:21,300
You look like you could use a drink.

286
00:33:27,260 --> 00:33:28,260
All right.

287
00:33:29,460 --> 00:33:33,020
You won't mind if I oblige.

288
00:33:49,420 --> 00:33:50,420
I don't drink.

289
00:33:53,780 --> 00:34:00,440
Professor, you may be under the
impression that you have a

290
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,980
choice. And you may be under the
impression I do not.

291
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,560
Your choice is limited.

292
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:12,960
We live in a material system. That
system defines us.

293
00:34:13,179 --> 00:34:17,360
Our will is not our own. The system
defines that, too.

294
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,300
And to answer your question, I agree
with Lenin.

295
00:34:21,980 --> 00:34:25,600
Raskolnikov, in crime and punishment,
was a fool.

296
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:31,100
Why feel guilt over the death of an old
woman?

297
00:34:31,380 --> 00:34:37,040
Raskolnikov could have been the father
of a completely new system of thought.

298
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:43,040
But he went weepy over a whore and ended
up in prison.

299
00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:45,560
But he retained his soul.

300
00:34:46,060 --> 00:34:47,860
There's no such thing.

301
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:06,820
We'll say goodbye for now.

302
00:35:08,060 --> 00:35:09,240
We'll speak more soon.

303
00:35:43,690 --> 00:35:44,690
I'm Dimitri.

304
00:35:45,550 --> 00:35:48,530
That, down there, is Alexander.

305
00:35:51,530 --> 00:35:58,330
And, uh, well, over there, the one
trying to sleep through

306
00:35:58,330 --> 00:36:00,250
this is Bogdan.

307
00:36:02,390 --> 00:36:03,950
How long have you been here?

308
00:36:04,490 --> 00:36:06,430
Me? Three days.

309
00:36:07,170 --> 00:36:11,710
Alexander's been here a month, and
Bogdan was brought here two weeks ago.

310
00:36:12,460 --> 00:36:14,560
That's why he's so depressed, huh,
Bogdan?

311
00:36:15,660 --> 00:36:16,740
Shut up, fool.

312
00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:20,660
Yeah. He's not a happy character,
Bogdan.

313
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:22,780
But what's your name?

314
00:36:23,740 --> 00:36:26,020
Uh, Alexei Abramov.

315
00:36:26,980 --> 00:36:27,980
Alexei.

316
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:29,440
Pleased to meet you.

317
00:36:30,460 --> 00:36:33,160
I'm sorry it wasn't under better
circumstances.

318
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,400
What do you do?

319
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,140
Ministry of Transportation.

320
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,520
You?

321
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:45,600
I'm a concert pianist. You know, Stalin
attended my concert last year at the

322
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:50,100
Bolshoi. You are not Dmitri Sharapov.

323
00:36:50,900 --> 00:36:52,420
At your service.

324
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:53,840
But why?

325
00:36:54,140 --> 00:36:55,400
Why are you here?

326
00:36:56,820 --> 00:37:00,740
That is a long story.

327
00:37:01,220 --> 00:37:02,840
And a sad story.

328
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,060
A predictable story.

329
00:37:06,860 --> 00:37:08,040
He's a cynic.

330
00:37:09,290 --> 00:37:11,310
A realist. A stupid.

331
00:37:12,890 --> 00:37:15,230
A smarter stupid.

332
00:37:15,590 --> 00:37:17,910
They are the same now.

333
00:37:18,410 --> 00:37:22,350
The smarter at the mercy of the stupid.

334
00:37:23,590 --> 00:37:29,630
You talk too much, Zid. Oh, a real,
true, patriot,

335
00:37:30,070 --> 00:37:31,910
Soviet. Shut up.

336
00:37:32,290 --> 00:37:33,290
Oh,

337
00:37:34,250 --> 00:37:35,910
you cossack idiot.

338
00:37:36,700 --> 00:37:41,000
You think your stupid name-calling makes
any difference?

339
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,900
You're in here with us.

340
00:37:44,380 --> 00:37:48,740
You know, that's what... Hey, hey! Calm,
gentlemen. Calm.

341
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,940
If we can't trust one another, who can
we trust?

342
00:37:52,260 --> 00:37:53,620
Not the ones in the hallway.

343
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,040
That's for certain.

344
00:37:55,280 --> 00:38:00,100
Is there any indicator of when we will
be let go?

345
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,820
Optimist. There are no answers here.

346
00:38:06,060 --> 00:38:07,820
other than the ones they put in your
mouth.

347
00:38:12,940 --> 00:38:17,260
Gentlemen, I am sorry, but I feel I must
lie down.

348
00:38:30,220 --> 00:38:33,320
Your first night with the blood-sucking
capitalists.

349
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,900
Sleep well, Abramov.

350
00:38:36,140 --> 00:38:39,660
The Lubyanka bedbugs will be pleased to
meet you.

351
00:40:18,090 --> 00:40:20,490
It's not the Ritz, eh, Professor?

352
00:40:24,190 --> 00:40:26,270
How did you know my profession?

353
00:40:27,030 --> 00:40:32,210
Oh, I saw you lecture years ago at the
university.

354
00:40:35,730 --> 00:40:42,130
What happened to having sent to the
Minister of Transport?

355
00:40:43,990 --> 00:40:45,790
I suppose I...

356
00:40:47,370 --> 00:40:52,430
Wanted to learn the ins and outs of
metropolitan population movement.

357
00:40:53,310 --> 00:40:54,310
Drinking, eh?

358
00:40:57,130 --> 00:41:00,470
What about you? What brings you to this
hotel?

359
00:41:02,930 --> 00:41:05,410
Counter-revolutionary activity.

360
00:41:06,910 --> 00:41:09,090
It's hard to avoid, you know.

361
00:41:10,750 --> 00:41:14,370
They can accuse almost anyone of it.

362
00:41:15,150 --> 00:41:16,430
So I've noticed.

363
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,800
I was a member of the Politburo.

364
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,420
I used to say it was cheek and jowl with
the top dogs.

365
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:32,960
It's not like one day you're on the
light and the

366
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,760
next in the darkness.

367
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:41,640
It's more twilight all around.

368
00:41:45,100 --> 00:41:49,020
Have you ever seen a child starve to
death, Professor?

369
00:41:51,260 --> 00:41:52,260
No.

370
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,120
No, I can't say that I have.

371
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,020
I have.

372
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:00,660
In Ukraine.

373
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:02,520
In Ukraine?

374
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:10,060
In Ukraine in 1933 during the famine.

375
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,820
Those children...

376
00:42:16,330 --> 00:42:18,510
And first you believe it changes you.

377
00:42:19,270 --> 00:42:23,410
First time you think your whole world
has ended.

378
00:42:26,250 --> 00:42:30,490
And then you realize that the world goes
on.

379
00:42:32,450 --> 00:42:39,050
You see, they sent us there to make sure
that the grain productions

380
00:42:39,050 --> 00:42:40,810
went to the cities.

381
00:42:42,130 --> 00:42:43,830
But to do that,

382
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,620
get rid of the Kulaks.

383
00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:52,880
Kulaks were counter-revolutionary.

384
00:42:53,380 --> 00:43:00,340
They insisted in their small way on

385
00:43:00,340 --> 00:43:07,260
the farms and their lands, but it was

386
00:43:07,260 --> 00:43:09,020
all the people's land.

387
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,100
The Kulaks at the beginning

388
00:43:14,220 --> 00:43:20,540
They fought us, and they begged for
their lives sometimes, and that was more

389
00:43:20,540 --> 00:43:27,540
difficult. But eventually we found an
easier way of

390
00:43:27,540 --> 00:43:28,860
doing away with them.

391
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:36,000
One bullet, no questions, no begging, no
waste to the back

392
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,000
of the skull.

393
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:42,400
We searched for the grain, but we never
found any.

394
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:46,400
we found nothing.

395
00:43:46,620 --> 00:43:53,160
We simply emptied the larders and
pantries and

396
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:59,180
kitchen and the barns. We took
everything.

397
00:44:00,620 --> 00:44:06,740
And anyone found with a grain of wheat,

398
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,900
they were exiled or executed.

399
00:44:11,700 --> 00:44:15,500
But that didn't make more grain.

400
00:44:17,180 --> 00:44:22,440
In the end, we took the seed grain and
we sent it to the cities.

401
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:29,180
The mothers and the children begged to
go to the city. We refused.

402
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:34,400
The more they begged, the more we cut
their rations.

403
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:42,040
Mothers would load their babies onto the
trains and hoping that someone would

404
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,040
take mercy.

405
00:44:43,820 --> 00:44:50,700
There was one family with two

406
00:44:50,700 --> 00:44:57,560
children, a boy, not more than five, and
a girl,

407
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:58,940
perhaps eight.

408
00:45:00,420 --> 00:45:03,500
The mother was beautiful.

409
00:45:04,380 --> 00:45:08,380
Her husband had been taken in the first
wave.

410
00:45:13,820 --> 00:45:15,500
as she withered away.

411
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:23,800
One day pretty and the next one gaunt

412
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:30,780
and then a skeleton with a pair

413
00:45:30,780 --> 00:45:31,920
of burning eyes.

414
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:44,440
One day I passed the house and there
were a pair of feet

415
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,860
hanging in the doorway.

416
00:45:50,460 --> 00:45:53,440
She was dead, of course.

417
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:01,780
Her corpse was desiccated and her eyes

418
00:46:01,780 --> 00:46:02,780
empty.

419
00:46:07,240 --> 00:46:11,780
I entered the home and

420
00:46:12,510 --> 00:46:16,950
the children the boy he was

421
00:46:16,950 --> 00:46:23,110
clawed her flesh on her legs

422
00:46:23,110 --> 00:46:29,110
and eating the meat and he

423
00:46:29,110 --> 00:46:34,150
ground like a feral animal at me when he
saw me

424
00:46:34,150 --> 00:46:37,110
he was

425
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:48,480
was sucking at the wounds, trying to
drink the blood.

426
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,180
And so you left the Chukka?

427
00:46:55,100 --> 00:46:56,720
No, of course not.

428
00:46:57,100 --> 00:47:00,140
A man can get used to anything.

429
00:47:01,140 --> 00:47:02,660
And now you are here.

430
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:10,320
Yes, and for the most ridiculous of
reasons.

431
00:47:13,900 --> 00:47:20,820
My father would have found it hilarious,
a rabbi in the

432
00:47:20,820 --> 00:47:26,880
shtetl. When I told my father I was a
Marxist, that

433
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:33,720
Marxism was the promised new world for
all mankind,

434
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,760
he laughed at me.

435
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:40,980
He said, you know something,

436
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:49,080
The Torah teaches us to fear heaven, and
that's the

437
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:50,680
beginning of wisdom.

438
00:47:52,980 --> 00:47:55,740
You were always adult.

439
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:03,920
Then they quoted Perkei Avon, The Ethics
of the Fathers,

440
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,280
one of the holy books. It says,

441
00:48:09,240 --> 00:48:14,500
Mine is yours, and yours is mine, is
Enigma Ramos.

442
00:48:15,660 --> 00:48:17,560
And so what happened?

443
00:48:17,940 --> 00:48:24,580
One day they came for me and accused me
of counter-revolutionary

444
00:48:24,580 --> 00:48:25,580
activity.

445
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,160
And what was their evidence?

446
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,320
My Jewish last name.

447
00:48:33,260 --> 00:48:36,460
It sounded too much like...

448
00:48:36,670 --> 00:48:43,410
Trotsky or Zenovius or Kamenet. I

449
00:48:43,410 --> 00:48:44,410
don't believe it.

450
00:48:44,710 --> 00:48:51,710
Do you believe in a machine that grinds
the bones of children to make bread for

451
00:48:51,710 --> 00:48:57,730
the iron workers that draws a line from
hatred of the Jews?

452
00:49:00,750 --> 00:49:02,090
Something happened.

453
00:49:03,370 --> 00:49:07,790
Have you heard in America they have
automobiles for the common man?

454
00:49:08,710 --> 00:49:09,710
Lies.

455
00:49:11,710 --> 00:49:13,430
What if it weren't?

456
00:49:15,510 --> 00:49:21,590
Impossible. It's true, and somebody has
to take the blame for it.

457
00:49:21,850 --> 00:49:25,270
Not Lenin, the old saint.

458
00:49:26,150 --> 00:49:30,470
Not Stalin, but maybe God.

459
00:49:31,370 --> 00:49:33,830
But they killed God long ago.

460
00:49:34,190 --> 00:49:36,870
What about the chosen people?

461
00:49:37,130 --> 00:49:43,450
You know, those clever Jews with their
money lending and their

462
00:49:43,450 --> 00:49:48,250
strange customs and their insular
solidarity.

463
00:49:49,550 --> 00:49:53,470
But why you? Why you personally? You
were a Marxist.

464
00:49:53,930 --> 00:49:59,670
Marxism taught me that a man doesn't get
what he deserves.

465
00:50:01,740 --> 00:50:05,540
He gets only what the system provides
for him.

466
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:15,460
My father taught me another story from
Pirkei Avon about

467
00:50:15,460 --> 00:50:18,240
a rabbi near a river.

468
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:23,820
He saw a skull floating in it, and he
said,

469
00:50:24,100 --> 00:50:29,340
because you drowned others, they drowned
you.

470
00:50:30,240 --> 00:50:35,380
And in the end, they that drown you will
be drowned.

471
00:50:38,380 --> 00:50:40,540
We all get to what we deserve.

472
00:50:43,060 --> 00:50:45,140
But what about the children in Ukraine?

473
00:50:46,180 --> 00:50:48,160
I can't speak for them.

474
00:50:49,580 --> 00:50:54,980
Only for the men who took their seed
grain.

475
00:51:38,890 --> 00:51:41,250
Don't they ever turn off the light?

476
00:51:52,990 --> 00:51:57,750
No. In the Soviet Union the lights
always shine brightly.

477
00:52:15,900 --> 00:52:17,080
Abramov! Good luck.

478
00:52:18,580 --> 00:52:21,240
Don't worry about us. We'll still be
here when you return.

479
00:52:53,710 --> 00:52:54,810
I trust you got some rest.

480
00:52:56,670 --> 00:53:00,070
The lights were very bright.

481
00:53:00,710 --> 00:53:01,710
Yeah.

482
00:53:02,950 --> 00:53:06,790
Yes, we like to keep an eye on those in
our cells.

483
00:53:07,270 --> 00:53:08,270
I see.

484
00:53:10,530 --> 00:53:14,450
I'm sure you'd like to go home,
Professor, despite our hospitality.

485
00:53:15,290 --> 00:53:18,970
Have you thought more about our
conversation?

486
00:53:21,350 --> 00:53:27,310
Yes. But I am afraid I still cannot tell
you something I do not know.

487
00:53:28,190 --> 00:53:33,410
You know, Professor, your life has not
been easy.

488
00:53:36,610 --> 00:53:41,670
This file says you've been at the
Ministry of Transport for 11 years.

489
00:53:42,390 --> 00:53:46,890
But what is also true is that our state
is generous.

490
00:53:47,170 --> 00:53:49,450
It rewards those who are loyal.

491
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,900
I have been authorized to make you an
offer.

492
00:53:55,100 --> 00:53:57,140
You are still respected in some circles.

493
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,200
Some still read your work. Did you know
that?

494
00:54:02,260 --> 00:54:05,920
How would you like your old job back at
the university?

495
00:54:08,060 --> 00:54:12,840
And more than that, chairmanship of the
literature department.

496
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,620
You certainly kept up with your
scholarship, Professor.

497
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:19,500
We established that.

498
00:54:19,850 --> 00:54:20,970
in the last conversation.

499
00:54:22,570 --> 00:54:25,830
Imagine your old office back.

500
00:54:26,830 --> 00:54:28,170
A new apartment.

501
00:54:29,690 --> 00:54:31,170
All we need is information.

502
00:54:31,730 --> 00:54:32,990
You've done it before.

503
00:54:34,670 --> 00:54:38,590
Speak, and the state will restore you.

504
00:54:42,010 --> 00:54:44,350
And all it requires is words.

505
00:54:45,670 --> 00:54:46,770
Just words.

506
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,460
And destroy Father Mikulski?

507
00:54:49,780 --> 00:54:51,700
He is already destroyed.

508
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:54,740
You need not be.

509
00:54:58,120 --> 00:54:59,120
Professor.

510
00:55:00,340 --> 00:55:01,340
There's more.

511
00:55:03,060 --> 00:55:04,100
Your family.

512
00:55:06,240 --> 00:55:07,900
What of my family?

513
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:10,400
We know about all that.

514
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:16,180
As I've told you, we make a habit of
knowing everything.

515
00:55:19,180 --> 00:55:21,520
You were labeled counter-revolutionary.

516
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:26,180
But we know that was a false accusation.
You are nothing of the sort.

517
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:28,980
And now you can prove it.

518
00:55:29,720 --> 00:55:31,920
So why not have your old life back?

519
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,080
Anya and Sasha.

520
00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:37,940
Anya has remarried.

521
00:55:40,720 --> 00:55:42,920
That, that's nothing.

522
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:45,460
She still loves you.

523
00:55:46,540 --> 00:55:47,540
We know.

524
00:55:49,100 --> 00:55:50,580
We keep tabs on such things.

525
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:56,600
And as for Sasha, you haven't spoken to
him in, what, ten years?

526
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,200
You know he's made good.

527
00:56:00,500 --> 00:56:05,040
He has risen quickly through the ranks
of the Komsomol.

528
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:09,460
He will be a respected member of the
party apparatus someday soon.

529
00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:11,240
I've met him.

530
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,300
He's a fine young man.

531
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:16,640
You can be...

532
00:56:21,870 --> 00:56:22,930
make those sorts of guarantees.

533
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:47,960
Did they bring you here?

534
00:57:51,540 --> 00:57:53,380
Because you were once my husband.

535
00:57:57,020 --> 00:57:58,480
But you were free of all that.

536
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,520
Well, as I say, you were once my
husband.

537
00:58:03,900 --> 00:58:05,500
What do they want from you now?

538
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:13,280
They want me to inform on Father
Makovsky.

539
00:58:13,860 --> 00:58:14,940
From the university?

540
00:58:18,410 --> 00:58:21,510
Why don't you do it? I simply cannot.

541
00:58:22,130 --> 00:58:24,010
You can't or you won't.

542
00:58:25,810 --> 00:58:27,610
You can't or you won't.

543
00:58:30,990 --> 00:58:33,210
It is so good to see you again.

544
00:58:34,610 --> 00:58:39,350
Even after all these years, you are
still so beautiful.

545
00:58:45,950 --> 00:58:46,950
Alexei.

546
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,860
I am here to talk to you.

547
00:58:56,180 --> 00:58:57,860
You want me to inform?

548
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,340
It's not about you, Alexei.

549
00:59:02,820 --> 00:59:04,740
It's about more than that.

550
00:59:05,540 --> 00:59:07,100
It's about you, you mean.

551
00:59:08,060 --> 00:59:09,060
Your status.

552
00:59:10,580 --> 00:59:11,580
Your station.

553
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,500
What did they threaten you with?

554
00:59:17,100 --> 00:59:19,560
Did they threaten you with a smaller
apartment?

555
00:59:20,980 --> 00:59:24,320
Did they threaten your husband with loss
of position?

556
00:59:24,700 --> 00:59:28,440
Because we both know what you would do
if they did.

557
00:59:29,180 --> 00:59:30,920
That is unfair, Alexei.

558
00:59:31,220 --> 00:59:33,500
Is it? They took our apartment.

559
00:59:34,100 --> 00:59:35,460
They took your job.

560
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:37,260
I stayed with you.

561
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,400
Not for long. For far too long.

562
00:59:41,300 --> 00:59:42,340
Your arrogance.

563
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:44,900
Your refusal to compromise.

564
00:59:45,870 --> 00:59:46,870
Anya, you forget.

565
00:59:47,630 --> 00:59:49,210
I compromised.

566
00:59:50,530 --> 00:59:53,510
Over and over I compromised.

567
00:59:53,950 --> 00:59:59,250
And in the end, it didn't help. I
prostituted myself.

568
01:00:02,770 --> 01:00:08,730
My greatest sin is I destroyed and
betrayed myself for nothing.

569
01:00:09,110 --> 01:00:12,150
Damn you and your literary references.

570
01:00:13,420 --> 01:00:15,200
Your moral pretensions.

571
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,220
They don't serve you one bit.

572
01:00:18,860 --> 01:00:19,860
Nor me.

573
01:00:20,100 --> 01:00:21,100
Nor anyone.

574
01:00:21,500 --> 01:00:22,620
Do you understand?

575
01:00:22,900 --> 01:00:24,440
What would you have me do? Anything.

576
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:26,880
Anything. For what?

577
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:28,320
For me.

578
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:32,760
You should have stayed.

579
01:00:34,180 --> 01:00:35,180
I tried.

580
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,340
You forget your drunken stupors.

581
01:00:42,700 --> 01:00:44,080
And your blind rages.

582
01:00:46,340 --> 01:00:48,820
That's the childhood Sasha remembers.

583
01:00:50,940 --> 01:00:52,700
That's the childhood you gave him.

584
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,500
And now you want to take away his
future. What future?

585
01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:02,020
There's an apparatchik of the party
looking for the kind of people that

586
01:01:02,020 --> 01:01:03,020
brought me here.

587
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,040
This isn't about me. This is about our
Sasha.

588
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,760
I'm begging you. He's making his own
life now.

589
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,060
Begging you let him live it.

590
01:01:42,990 --> 01:01:47,710
Perhaps I hate myself for not being
there for him.

591
01:01:50,830 --> 01:01:55,370
For leaving him defenseless in a wild
forest filled with wolves.

592
01:01:55,690 --> 01:01:57,030
Don't take it out on him.

593
01:01:58,530 --> 01:02:03,450
He is in line for a job with the party,
a good one.

594
01:02:05,190 --> 01:02:06,590
He's loyal to Stalin.

595
01:02:07,910 --> 01:02:12,110
Stalin knows this. Stalin even knows his
name. He is a child. He's 20 now.

596
01:02:13,340 --> 01:02:16,020
He's making his own way. He can have a
better life than we did.

597
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:17,600
As a pawn?

598
01:02:19,940 --> 01:02:21,060
Look around you.

599
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:23,680
We are all pawns.

600
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,580
We are all pawns to the party.

601
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:29,560
You were not so different once.

602
01:02:30,540 --> 01:02:31,540
Not that long ago.

603
01:02:32,620 --> 01:02:33,860
I remember Kolchuk.

604
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:35,880
He had a wife, too.

605
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:38,280
And children.

606
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,180
You had no problem denouncing him when
they asked you.

607
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:46,320
You wanted me to.

608
01:02:48,260 --> 01:02:49,900
Of course I did.

609
01:02:51,180 --> 01:02:53,960
You do what the party asks and you are
rewarded.

610
01:02:54,540 --> 01:02:56,540
You withhold and you are punished.

611
01:02:56,860 --> 01:02:59,200
The party is the mother and we are just
children.

612
01:02:59,460 --> 01:03:00,620
We are human beings.

613
01:03:00,820 --> 01:03:01,900
You are no human being.

614
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:05,800
You are a drunk and a derelict and you
stink of failure.

615
01:03:08,780 --> 01:03:10,240
And you were once beautiful.

616
01:03:18,980 --> 01:03:25,580
If ever you loved me, if ever you loved
Sasha, you must do

617
01:03:25,580 --> 01:03:26,760
what they ask.

618
01:03:27,220 --> 01:03:28,220
No.

619
01:03:28,740 --> 01:03:30,240
Please, Alexei.

620
01:03:31,020 --> 01:03:32,560
Things can change.

621
01:03:33,529 --> 01:03:37,430
Things can be good again. We can go back
to the way things were. No, it is too

622
01:03:37,430 --> 01:03:40,770
late for that. It's too late for us.
It's not too late for Sasha.

623
01:03:41,790 --> 01:03:43,550
His future is the same as mine.

624
01:03:44,510 --> 01:03:45,510
A cell.

625
01:03:46,430 --> 01:03:47,750
That is your future, too.

626
01:03:50,090 --> 01:03:51,490
So you believe you are a martyr.

627
01:03:52,250 --> 01:03:53,610
You are not a martyr.

628
01:03:54,770 --> 01:03:57,830
You've made your bed, and now you lie in
it, and now you want to make Sasha lie

629
01:03:57,830 --> 01:03:59,250
in it, too. I have no choice.

630
01:03:59,570 --> 01:04:00,570
You do have a choice!

631
01:04:03,530 --> 01:04:06,850
Destroy what is left of me. There's
nothing left of you. There's nothing

632
01:04:06,850 --> 01:04:08,970
left of you but the bottom of a bottle.

633
01:04:09,270 --> 01:04:14,150
What man sacrifices his own son for his
misguided honor?

634
01:04:14,490 --> 01:04:18,710
The kind of man, perhaps, who believes
one day his son will understand.

635
01:04:20,910 --> 01:04:26,730
Well, I will never understand.

636
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:33,860
You think you've changed?

637
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:36,860
Are you doing something heroic?

638
01:04:37,820 --> 01:04:40,840
This isn't heroism. It's meaningless.

639
01:04:41,860 --> 01:04:43,400
It's barbaric.

640
01:04:44,380 --> 01:04:49,920
The self-centered man of decency against
the entire state.

641
01:04:50,140 --> 01:04:51,140
Just you.

642
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,160
Against your whole family.

643
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:20,460
A lover's quarrel, I see.

644
01:05:21,980 --> 01:05:23,260
For old time's sake?

645
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:26,180
Let her out, Vladimir.

646
01:05:26,460 --> 01:05:27,460
She does nothing.

647
01:05:27,660 --> 01:05:29,020
Of course she doesn't.

648
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:30,800
I know that.

649
01:05:34,300 --> 01:05:35,540
Did he refuse you?

650
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,180
Please leave my Sasha alone.

651
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,760
I'm afraid that's a question for my
superior.

652
01:05:46,980 --> 01:05:47,980
He's the son.

653
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:49,700
of a counter-revolutionary.

654
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:51,080
Please.

655
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:55,040
It's up to the Professor.

656
01:06:05,660 --> 01:06:11,460
What comes next could have been
prevented.

657
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:21,200
Sit.

658
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:29,380
Take Miss Lebedev.

659
01:06:29,740 --> 01:06:31,040
Find her some accommodations.

660
01:06:35,860 --> 01:06:42,820
Why would you do

661
01:06:42,820 --> 01:06:44,240
that? She has done nothing.

662
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,040
She's consorting with the
counter-revolution.

663
01:06:52,010 --> 01:06:55,050
She'll be questioned, of course, about
her own history and associations.

664
01:06:56,090 --> 01:06:58,870
And eventually, we'll get to Sasha.

665
01:06:59,350 --> 01:07:00,810
But she knows nothing.

666
01:07:03,170 --> 01:07:06,310
You know, she still loves you.

667
01:07:06,630 --> 01:07:07,630
No.

668
01:07:08,070 --> 01:07:11,470
No, she came to try to convince me to
help you for Sasha.

669
01:07:16,750 --> 01:07:19,210
She can say that she came for Sasha.

670
01:07:25,450 --> 01:07:30,650
But, but I know what a woman's love
looks like.

671
01:07:32,710 --> 01:07:33,890
And she loves you.

672
01:07:35,210 --> 01:07:37,390
It would have been better for her to
stay away.

673
01:07:38,750 --> 01:07:40,370
Minimize your connection to her.

674
01:07:40,950 --> 01:07:43,150
She could have hoped the distance would
protect her.

675
01:07:43,990 --> 01:07:45,870
But she came straight away.

676
01:07:46,530 --> 01:07:47,530
That's love.

677
01:07:47,750 --> 01:07:48,750
Let her go.

678
01:07:50,030 --> 01:07:51,170
You could free her.

679
01:07:52,230 --> 01:07:53,230
And yourself.

680
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:55,320
Just sign that.

681
01:07:58,020 --> 01:08:01,620
No need to read it. It doesn't implicate
you in anything.

682
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:08,900
It simply states that you were shocked
to stumble upon Father Mikulski printing

683
01:08:08,900 --> 01:08:13,960
his pamphlets, and you rushed to the
authorities to report his traitorous

684
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:14,960
behavior.

685
01:08:16,319 --> 01:08:21,620
Just sign it, and it will all be over
for your wife and child.

686
01:08:22,540 --> 01:08:23,540
Please.

687
01:08:24,170 --> 01:08:26,770
Vladimir, you are not an evil man.

688
01:08:26,990 --> 01:08:28,210
Make this stop.

689
01:08:28,710 --> 01:08:34,550
Evil and good are luxuries the
revolution can no longer afford.

690
01:08:35,490 --> 01:08:40,569
Evil does not cease to exist because you
would pretend it away in the name of

691
01:08:40,569 --> 01:08:47,189
revolution. There are many kinds of
evil. The evil of exploitation, of

692
01:08:47,189 --> 01:08:50,729
inequality, of starvation and
aristocracy.

693
01:08:51,790 --> 01:08:55,529
Often, to abolish one evil requires
another.

694
01:08:55,950 --> 01:08:58,450
The argument of every monster.

695
01:09:00,450 --> 01:09:03,010
Monsters change history.

696
01:09:04,470 --> 01:09:05,590
Sign it.

697
01:09:27,500 --> 01:09:32,580
At least your wife and son will know who
to blame when they work the rest of

698
01:09:32,580 --> 01:09:35,260
their lives in the Gulag.

699
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:07,340
Why don't you just give them what they
want?

700
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:08,880
Why don't you?

701
01:10:10,540 --> 01:10:11,540
I don't know.

702
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:18,560
I guess perhaps the artist in me still
believes there'll be some duax machina,

703
01:10:18,620 --> 01:10:20,600
some third act surprise.

704
01:10:21,260 --> 01:10:24,380
I think the curtain falls on us all the
same way.

705
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:27,520
Proper Russian literature.

706
01:10:28,440 --> 01:10:31,980
But you know, not all art is Russian.

707
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:34,320
The French...

708
01:10:34,890 --> 01:10:36,010
They prefer comedy.

709
01:10:36,590 --> 01:10:37,790
Have you ever been to Paris?

710
01:10:39,550 --> 01:10:40,550
No.

711
01:10:41,270 --> 01:10:43,010
No, I've never left Russia.

712
01:10:43,810 --> 01:10:46,710
Pity. The city is magnificent.

713
01:10:47,010 --> 01:10:48,010
Lights everywhere.

714
01:10:48,130 --> 01:10:51,450
Not the pitiless lights of Moscow. Warm
lights.

715
01:10:52,250 --> 01:10:53,450
And warm women.

716
01:10:55,150 --> 01:10:59,190
You know, I've heard you play on the
radio.

717
01:11:00,950 --> 01:11:01,950
Very beautifully.

718
01:11:04,390 --> 01:11:05,510
Why are you here?

719
01:11:07,070 --> 01:11:08,230
Warm women.

720
01:11:09,690 --> 01:11:15,350
Do you know the ballerina Katerina
Sidorova?

721
01:11:17,010 --> 01:11:20,910
I've seen her posters on the Metro.

722
01:11:23,230 --> 01:11:24,430
You and she?

723
01:11:25,990 --> 01:11:28,890
And for a while, the party allowed it.

724
01:11:29,390 --> 01:11:32,730
A magnificent Soviet couple.

725
01:11:34,220 --> 01:11:36,140
Artists united in love for the people.

726
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:42,040
But when I asked her to marry me, I
found out there was another man.

727
01:11:43,500 --> 01:11:44,800
She didn't love you?

728
01:11:45,060 --> 01:11:46,060
She did.

729
01:11:46,460 --> 01:11:48,620
But what does love have to do with
politics?

730
01:11:49,540 --> 01:11:52,760
Her patron is a high-ranking member of
the commissariat.

731
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:54,300
I never found out who.

732
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:58,840
All I know is that she pledged to break
it off with him on our last night

733
01:11:58,840 --> 01:11:59,840
together.

734
01:12:00,220 --> 01:12:01,420
I had just finished.

735
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:07,360
private concert of Chopin when I was
informed that I was required for

736
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:08,360
questioning.

737
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:20,680
What did they charge you with?

738
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:22,200
Nothing.

739
01:12:22,500 --> 01:12:25,740
So far. My guess is that all of this is
a warning.

740
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:28,440
Or at least that is my hope.

741
01:12:33,350 --> 01:12:35,970
In here, one has time to think.

742
01:12:37,190 --> 01:12:38,450
A lot of time.

743
01:12:38,790 --> 01:12:40,430
To practice, at least.

744
01:12:42,850 --> 01:12:45,910
How do you practice without your
instrument?

745
01:12:46,290 --> 01:12:48,150
My instrument is here.

746
01:12:49,190 --> 01:12:50,190
And here.

747
01:12:51,490 --> 01:12:52,930
You hear the music?

748
01:12:53,330 --> 01:12:54,329
Of course.

749
01:12:54,330 --> 01:12:56,570
If Beethoven could hear it, I can.

750
01:12:58,710 --> 01:13:00,550
I find myself...

751
01:13:01,610 --> 01:13:03,870
Thinking about something odd in this
place.

752
01:13:05,150 --> 01:13:06,150
Beauty.

753
01:13:07,550 --> 01:13:08,690
Your music?

754
01:13:09,230 --> 01:13:10,230
Not mine.

755
01:13:11,150 --> 01:13:13,910
Beethoven's, Bach's, even Ravel.

756
01:13:15,670 --> 01:13:18,310
They say Stalin prefers Mozart.

757
01:13:18,850 --> 01:13:23,810
That's true, but I wonder whether he
truly understands it.

758
01:13:24,510 --> 01:13:26,010
What is to understand?

759
01:13:26,390 --> 01:13:29,390
Whether he feels the music then.

760
01:13:30,860 --> 01:13:37,720
I find it hard to believe that a man
that runs all this could truly feel the

761
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:41,280
second movement of Mozart's 23rd piano
concerto.

762
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,180
The tragic nature of it, the
wistfulness.

763
01:13:44,660 --> 01:13:48,080
They say Nero played the lyre while he
roasted Christians.

764
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,120
Do you not believe art and beauty
ennoble the soul?

765
01:13:52,500 --> 01:13:53,800
Are you not Russian?

766
01:13:55,140 --> 01:13:56,820
Art and beauty are wonderful.

767
01:13:58,670 --> 01:14:05,330
but I have realized they are not always
the best predictors of decency.

768
01:14:06,470 --> 01:14:11,750
In fact, I am not sure it changes the
heart.

769
01:14:13,290 --> 01:14:19,950
Have you ever read Chekhov's letters?
There's one that always stands

770
01:14:19,950 --> 01:14:26,350
in my mind. He writes, What a fine
weather today I...

771
01:14:26,940 --> 01:14:30,440
Cannot choose whether to drink tea or
hang myself.

772
01:14:32,500 --> 01:14:33,500
No.

773
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:41,300
No, beauty does not change things. It
can

774
01:14:41,300 --> 01:14:46,000
hide things sometimes, deeper things.

775
01:14:46,700 --> 01:14:48,360
Like what?

776
01:14:49,460 --> 01:14:51,100
The problem of evil.

777
01:14:52,440 --> 01:14:54,880
You and I are cultured.

778
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:58,660
cultivated men and all that culture.

779
01:15:00,380 --> 01:15:02,840
Does it change what goes on in here?

780
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:10,200
And yet, I must believe that art changes
the world, changes men.

781
01:15:10,940 --> 01:15:12,340
Men like Stalin?

782
01:15:13,500 --> 01:15:19,900
So, in your opinion, Stalin either
doesn't understand music or doesn't

783
01:15:19,900 --> 01:15:21,120
understand evil?

784
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:23,800
Or, in the end...

785
01:15:24,300 --> 01:15:27,940
None of what we do matters, and all that
is left is beauty.

786
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:31,620
A romantic notion.

787
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:35,820
Beethoven is gone.

788
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:37,780
So is Bach.

789
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:39,920
And beauty remains.

790
01:15:46,440 --> 01:15:51,380
You know, there are other kinds of
beauty.

791
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:58,880
Maybe a kind of beauty that doesn't
actually die.

792
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:00,280
Art?

793
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:04,980
There is a beauty beyond this world.

794
01:16:05,460 --> 01:16:10,540
You mean heaven? A small-minded dream of
simpletons?

795
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:13,460
The opiate of the masses.

796
01:16:15,100 --> 01:16:16,260
But is it?

797
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:22,700
Are we all wiser than those who came
before us?

798
01:16:23,210 --> 01:16:27,270
You know, Dimitri, Bach believed in
heaven.

799
01:16:28,270 --> 01:16:34,770
He said the purpose of music was the
glorification of God. It fueled his

800
01:16:34,770 --> 01:16:35,770
music.

801
01:16:36,230 --> 01:16:42,750
You ask me if art ennobles. I don't have
the answer

802
01:16:42,750 --> 01:16:49,350
to that. Why should a Tchaikovsky tune
that moves us to weep move

803
01:16:49,350 --> 01:16:51,610
us to sacrifice?

804
01:16:53,230 --> 01:17:00,030
Men sacrifice for something more because
they know there

805
01:17:00,030 --> 01:17:01,910
is something more.

806
01:17:02,430 --> 01:17:03,430
Nonsense.

807
01:17:04,650 --> 01:17:08,450
Men sacrifice for things here on this
earth.

808
01:17:08,990 --> 01:17:10,390
There's no heaven.

809
01:17:11,310 --> 01:17:14,810
The only thing that matters is the power
of the human will.

810
01:17:16,110 --> 01:17:17,790
So says Stalin.

811
01:17:20,710 --> 01:17:21,970
And you disagree?

812
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:24,500
You useless sod.

813
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:29,100
You sit there and shake because you're
dependent on drink. Your sick is all

814
01:17:29,100 --> 01:17:32,760
over you. And you comfort yourself with
thoughts of heaven.

815
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:35,580
It is a comfort, to be sure.

816
01:17:37,140 --> 01:17:39,240
But it doesn't mean it's not true.

817
01:17:39,580 --> 01:17:40,960
There's only one truth.

818
01:17:41,700 --> 01:17:43,400
This is the only truth.

819
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,860
It's always been the only truth. Power.

820
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:52,200
That's why you're here.

821
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:55,040
That's why Dimitri's here. And the Jew.

822
01:17:58,540 --> 01:17:59,540
What of love?

823
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:02,280
What of it? Whose love?

824
01:18:03,060 --> 01:18:07,060
The Commissar's love for Dimitri's whore
ballerina? Your love for your books?

825
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:11,320
Your dead thinkers who think it matters
whether others read their words while

826
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:13,080
their bodies are eaten by the maggots,
huh?

827
01:18:23,630 --> 01:18:28,730
only one love that matters the love of
the state for its future the state the

828
01:18:28,730 --> 01:18:35,710
state is people just people no the state
is the soul of a people

829
01:18:35,710 --> 01:18:41,850
you think of the individual as though he
matters the individual doesn't matter at

830
01:18:41,850 --> 01:18:47,960
all the soul of the people is what
matters That soul is expressed across

831
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:49,380
the pages of history.

832
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:53,020
Oh, a propagandist for his jailers even
now.

833
01:18:53,460 --> 01:18:54,460
Yes.

834
01:18:55,620 --> 01:18:57,580
This is the state for which I work.

835
01:18:57,900 --> 01:18:59,400
The state I built.

836
01:19:00,380 --> 01:19:03,900
You see, Jew, I was in Ukraine too.

837
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,580
But unlike you, I don't weep about it.

838
01:19:07,860 --> 01:19:10,120
I don't sit and whine over it.

839
01:19:10,860 --> 01:19:12,400
It had to be done.

840
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:17,280
Those kulaks had to be destroyed, their
children with them.

841
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:22,700
The iron wheels of history grind over
the pebbles.

842
01:19:22,940 --> 01:19:27,380
And you're one of the pebbles. Yes, I am
one of the pebbles.

843
01:19:28,980 --> 01:19:30,860
And I honor the wheels.

844
01:19:32,060 --> 01:19:33,500
Have you no family?

845
01:19:42,470 --> 01:19:47,930
No one to mourn you. Who cares for the
mourners and bodies in the casket? A

846
01:19:47,930 --> 01:19:48,930
harsh philosophy.

847
01:19:49,790 --> 01:19:51,610
The only philosophy.

848
01:19:52,530 --> 01:19:53,530
Reality.

849
01:19:55,170 --> 01:19:57,090
Then what is it all for?

850
01:19:58,490 --> 01:20:00,390
Dimitri believes in art.

851
01:20:01,930 --> 01:20:05,470
Alexander believes in justice. What do
you believe in?

852
01:20:29,130 --> 01:20:30,330
Professor, you don't look well.

853
01:20:31,970 --> 01:20:33,530
Is Anya all right?

854
01:20:35,450 --> 01:20:40,330
As you know, Professor, the answer to
that question lies entirely with you.

855
01:20:41,170 --> 01:20:44,750
But for now, she's resting comfortably
in our ample accommodations.

856
01:20:46,710 --> 01:20:48,370
I've brought you another guest.

857
01:20:57,690 --> 01:20:58,690
Sergeant.

858
01:21:01,290 --> 01:21:02,290
Remember your father?

859
01:21:03,050 --> 01:21:04,050
Damn you.

860
01:21:04,290 --> 01:21:05,290
My boy.

861
01:21:05,410 --> 01:21:06,410
Damn you!

862
01:21:06,570 --> 01:21:10,550
It's no way to talk to your father. You
ruined mother's life and now you're

863
01:21:10,550 --> 01:21:11,550
ruining it again.

864
01:21:12,410 --> 01:21:14,730
No, Sasha, that is not true.

865
01:21:15,610 --> 01:21:17,470
I can see what you are now.

866
01:21:17,790 --> 01:21:20,170
A drunk and still a drunk.

867
01:21:20,410 --> 01:21:22,830
You think I don't remember how they
fired you for it?

868
01:21:23,130 --> 01:21:25,450
How you wouldn't give up that damn
bottle for anything?

869
01:21:26,690 --> 01:21:28,840
You're a selfish... Old man.

870
01:21:29,060 --> 01:21:32,800
And you could free my mother with some
words, and you won't.

871
01:21:33,620 --> 01:21:37,700
No, Sasha, that is not the whole story.

872
01:21:40,440 --> 01:21:42,740
The story is your stubbornness.

873
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:44,800
It always was.

874
01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:50,520
You think I don't remember how you
always insist on standing against us. I

875
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:52,240
am standing for you.

876
01:21:52,740 --> 01:21:56,460
For something that should be important
to you.

877
01:21:57,610 --> 01:22:02,550
They told me. They told me that you're
standing with Father Mikulski with

878
01:22:02,550 --> 01:22:08,670
superstition and cultic stupidity. And
truth and decency.

879
01:22:08,890 --> 01:22:10,010
No, no.

880
01:22:11,250 --> 01:22:13,070
You are an indecent man.

881
01:22:14,230 --> 01:22:16,950
And you preach decency? You're a
hypocrite.

882
01:22:19,850 --> 01:22:21,630
What would you like me to do?

883
01:22:30,100 --> 01:22:31,340
Confess. To what?

884
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:35,380
To whatever it is that they want.

885
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:37,640
Oh, Sasha.

886
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:40,980
I'm so sorry for what has happened to
you.

887
01:22:46,060 --> 01:22:47,060
You should be.

888
01:22:49,300 --> 01:22:50,300
Free my mother.

889
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,040
Do your duty as a man.

890
01:22:53,820 --> 01:22:54,820
As a man?

891
01:22:57,610 --> 01:22:59,110
What happens to Father Mikulski?

892
01:23:01,130 --> 01:23:06,110
A fetishist. A relic. Do you and he
perform rites in a secret church where

893
01:23:06,110 --> 01:23:08,850
you mumble stupid words of a mongoloid
people?

894
01:23:09,630 --> 01:23:10,650
I'm your son.

895
01:23:10,970 --> 01:23:17,150
My mother is a real human being and you
can free her. Just say the words.

896
01:23:19,190 --> 01:23:21,130
I'm sorry I failed you, Sasha.

897
01:23:21,970 --> 01:23:23,350
You fail me now!

898
01:23:25,450 --> 01:23:28,190
I should never have let your mother walk
out.

899
01:23:28,850 --> 01:23:30,910
I should have never allowed her to take
you.

900
01:23:32,550 --> 01:23:37,670
I should have insisted that we stay
together. Yes, in that horrible

901
01:23:37,670 --> 01:23:40,090
apartment. Yes, in my dead-end job.

902
01:23:40,670 --> 01:23:45,890
I should have put down the booze and
picked up my life's task.

903
01:23:46,750 --> 01:23:50,170
I should have taught you.

904
01:23:51,570 --> 01:23:52,790
I was a teacher.

905
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:57,960
Taught me what, precisely?

906
01:23:58,820 --> 01:24:05,620
That to be a man, you must believe in
something greater

907
01:24:05,620 --> 01:24:06,980
than the party.

908
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:15,560
Greater than steel, and power, and
machines, and iron

909
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,860
foundries. Yes, and greater even than
bread.

910
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:23,980
You must believe in what it means to be
a man.

911
01:24:31,790 --> 01:24:32,930
if you know what it is to be a man.

912
01:24:34,970 --> 01:24:35,990
I didn't.

913
01:24:38,210 --> 01:24:39,210
What changed?

914
01:24:43,430 --> 01:24:44,430
I can't say.

915
01:24:45,310 --> 01:24:48,210
You... You... You won't say.

916
01:24:48,570 --> 01:24:49,570
You mean...

917
01:25:02,090 --> 01:25:03,450
Then damn you to hell.

918
01:25:06,510 --> 01:25:07,510
If there is one.

919
01:25:12,410 --> 01:25:13,410
Comrade.

920
01:25:13,890 --> 01:25:15,970
Lieutenant, I have nothing further to
say to my father.

921
01:25:17,370 --> 01:25:18,370
Are you sure?

922
01:25:19,830 --> 01:25:21,770
It may be the last time you ever see
him.

923
01:25:34,380 --> 01:25:35,380
You have a stubborn boy.

924
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:38,340
I know where that comes from.

925
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:43,800
But I'm not worried.

926
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:46,160
You will remember your duty.

927
01:26:39,690 --> 01:26:41,430
Where are the others?

928
01:26:44,590 --> 01:26:46,590
People come and go around here.

929
01:26:48,050 --> 01:26:49,270
Where are they?

930
01:26:51,890 --> 01:26:53,030
Alexander's been taken.

931
01:26:53,470 --> 01:26:54,470
Where?

932
01:26:55,230 --> 01:26:57,030
It was just a few moments ago.

933
01:26:58,750 --> 01:27:01,270
If you listen closely, you might be able
to hear him.

934
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:23,960
He's with his rabbi father now.

935
01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:26,360
You monster, what did you do?

936
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:27,680
Me?

937
01:27:28,700 --> 01:27:29,880
I did nothing.

938
01:27:30,140 --> 01:27:33,960
I don't believe you. You've been sitting
there listening.

939
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:40,180
You told them about him, about the
writing. You told them everything.

940
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,320
What a fool you are, Bramov.

941
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:47,160
Like all intellectuals blinded by those
clean-shaven men with well-manicured

942
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:52,360
fingernails. They talk art, wax poetic
about a nocturne and fools like you turn

943
01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:53,360
them into saints.

944
01:28:01,980 --> 01:28:04,680
It wasn't I, it was the informer,
Professor.

945
01:28:09,100 --> 01:28:11,180
Dimitri. Of course.

946
01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:13,280
You knew.

947
01:28:16,180 --> 01:28:17,720
From the first moment.

948
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:20,920
His hands were soft.

949
01:28:21,140 --> 01:28:24,640
He loves his beauty too much to ever let
himself be trapped in ugliness.

950
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:27,680
What will happen to him?

951
01:28:29,060 --> 01:28:30,260
Nothing, I'd suppose.

952
01:28:33,340 --> 01:28:35,320
He'll let go of his ballerina.

953
01:28:36,060 --> 01:28:39,260
She'll stay in the bed of the commissar
until he tires of her.

954
01:28:40,300 --> 01:28:44,000
And if he's lucky, they'll let him go
back to playing that infernal piano.

955
01:28:46,510 --> 01:28:50,390
And he'll get idiots like you to pay
homage to him as an artist.

956
01:28:51,450 --> 01:28:52,450
And you.

957
01:29:22,250 --> 01:29:23,250
must live with himself.

958
01:29:31,990 --> 01:29:34,050
They have my wife and son.

959
01:29:37,810 --> 01:29:39,010
Sounds surprising.

960
01:29:40,930 --> 01:29:42,950
I can free them if I confess.

961
01:29:43,210 --> 01:29:44,670
So why not do it?

962
01:29:47,230 --> 01:29:49,910
Because Father Mikulski saved me.

963
01:29:51,660 --> 01:29:53,660
That some father saved you.

964
01:29:54,740 --> 01:29:55,740
How?

965
01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:58,160
You're here.

966
01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:01,780
He introduced me to Christ.

967
01:30:03,500 --> 01:30:04,860
To something higher.

968
01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:13,800
I always studied Dostoevsky, but I never
really understood what

969
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:14,800
he was saying.

970
01:30:16,380 --> 01:30:18,160
Mikulski for the first time.

971
01:30:20,130 --> 01:30:21,570
introduced me to the truth.

972
01:30:25,290 --> 01:30:27,150
To that old book of myths.

973
01:30:29,030 --> 01:30:31,950
The true myth is that man has all the
answers.

974
01:30:33,490 --> 01:30:39,190
That five-year plans and endless blood
can cure the world of all its sin.

975
01:30:40,150 --> 01:30:42,590
Well, we'll never know unless we try
now, will we?

976
01:30:49,230 --> 01:30:50,410
You'll break eventually.

977
01:30:52,250 --> 01:30:53,530
They all break.

978
01:30:55,990 --> 01:30:56,990
Maybe.

979
01:31:03,550 --> 01:31:04,790
There's no maybe.

980
01:31:07,530 --> 01:31:08,530
You'll break.

981
01:31:11,350 --> 01:31:13,490
They have no choice but to break you.

982
01:31:14,730 --> 01:31:17,330
That lieutenant who was interrogating
you.

983
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:23,160
It's not a matter of choice for him
either. If he fails to break you,

984
01:31:23,340 --> 01:31:25,380
they'll send him to Siberia.

985
01:31:28,020 --> 01:31:29,120
Or shoot him.

986
01:31:31,740 --> 01:31:36,000
The mills of the state grind slowly, but
they grind exceedingly fine.

987
01:31:40,020 --> 01:31:41,460
You're not unlettered.

988
01:31:43,500 --> 01:31:44,660
Why does it matter?

989
01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:47,840
There's words and more words.

990
01:31:48,900 --> 01:31:51,160
And in the beginning was the Word.

991
01:31:54,040 --> 01:31:56,140
All right, pretty star. All right.

992
01:31:57,080 --> 01:31:58,520
You and your words, darling.

993
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:01,280
I want to sleep.

994
01:33:04,490 --> 01:33:05,490
Abramov!

995
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:48,040
I'm sorry to come to this, Professor,
but you really are

996
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:51,240
a stubborn, stubborn man.

997
01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:59,420
This will be our last session together,
for good or for ill.

998
01:34:01,580 --> 01:34:07,220
So, for the last time, tell me

999
01:34:07,220 --> 01:34:10,240
that Mikulski

1000
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:11,960
wrote those pamphlets.

1001
01:34:13,340 --> 01:34:14,780
You will sooner or later.

1002
01:34:15,740 --> 01:34:19,100
So why not just save us both the
trouble?

1003
01:34:31,980 --> 01:34:32,980
My goodness.

1004
01:34:37,100 --> 01:34:40,140
I never thought you had it in you.

1005
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:42,520
I really never did.

1006
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:45,960
I warned you.

1007
01:34:48,460 --> 01:34:50,320
But our time together grows short.

1008
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:57,840
You know, Professor, we've spoken much
about your life.

1009
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:04,440
But since I was your student, much has
happened to me as well.

1010
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:28,320
You know, the last time we saw each
other, I was leaving

1011
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:29,320
the university.

1012
01:35:31,060 --> 01:35:35,900
I'd been drafted, and they sent me
directly to the front.

1013
01:35:39,780 --> 01:35:43,020
And I had plenty of time to read in the
trenches.

1014
01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:49,460
And I found your recommendations from
the university were impeccable.

1015
01:35:51,020 --> 01:35:55,040
You were right about Chernyshevsky. He's
so trite, facile.

1016
01:35:57,320 --> 01:36:04,280
But although I found your critique of
Bakunin accurate, I don't think

1017
01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:08,740
you gave him enough credit for
predicting the nature of the Marxist

1018
01:36:08,740 --> 01:36:09,740
state.

1019
01:36:14,300 --> 01:36:20,080
Many times in the mud, I found myself
thinking on you.

1020
01:36:21,070 --> 01:36:25,270
wishing we were together so we could
discuss such things.

1021
01:36:26,270 --> 01:36:33,010
But now that we have this moment, I
think we'd best be served

1022
01:36:33,010 --> 01:36:35,430
by discussing the old monk.

1023
01:36:41,090 --> 01:36:47,790
You know, I learned a lot about
interrogation from old

1024
01:36:47,790 --> 01:36:48,790
Fyodor.

1025
01:36:49,110 --> 01:36:54,060
Do you remember in the... Brothers
Karamazov, the story Ivan tells Alyosha.

1026
01:36:56,960 --> 01:37:03,000
In the old book, there are two brothers,
Ivan and

1027
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:04,000
Alyosha.

1028
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,960
Ivan is the materialist.

1029
01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:12,520
Alyosha is the spiritualist.

1030
01:37:28,519 --> 01:37:33,600
Ivan tells Alyosha of fate, about
Christ.

1031
01:37:35,380 --> 01:37:41,140
Christ has returned to Earth, but he is
immediately

1032
01:37:41,140 --> 01:37:47,540
jailed by the Grand Inquisitor, a
high-ranking member of the Roman Church

1033
01:37:47,540 --> 01:37:49,480
during the Spanish Inquisition.

1034
01:37:51,460 --> 01:37:53,160
Now, Professor,

1035
01:37:54,410 --> 01:38:00,470
Do you remember the Grand Inquisitor's
argument to Christ

1036
01:38:00,470 --> 01:38:06,850
that Christ has offered freedom and the
people

1037
01:38:06,850 --> 01:38:13,530
reject it? In fact, they hand it over to
the

1038
01:38:13,530 --> 01:38:19,210
powerful, to people like the Grand
Inquisitor.

1039
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:28,900
That they never wanted freedom in the
first place. That happiness lies in

1040
01:38:28,900 --> 01:38:31,400
submitting to the greater good.

1041
01:38:32,540 --> 01:38:36,340
The Inquisitor chides Christ.

1042
01:38:36,940 --> 01:38:43,860
He says Christ was wrong when he said,
man does not live

1043
01:38:43,860 --> 01:38:44,980
by bread alone.

1044
01:38:45,340 --> 01:38:49,980
No, says the Inquisitor. The devil was
right.

1045
01:38:51,060 --> 01:38:54,750
Man... does live by bread alone.

1046
01:38:55,090 --> 01:38:59,970
And I ask you, Professor, isn't it true?

1047
01:39:02,950 --> 01:39:09,930
The Inquisitor says that his system is
built on miracle, mystery,

1048
01:39:10,250 --> 01:39:11,250
authority.

1049
01:39:12,610 --> 01:39:13,930
And is he not right?

1050
01:39:14,230 --> 01:39:15,830
So is ours.

1051
01:39:16,270 --> 01:39:17,950
Ours is the miracle.

1052
01:39:18,270 --> 01:39:21,270
Steal from blood. Ours is the mystery.

1053
01:39:22,160 --> 01:39:28,440
inscrutable commands from darkened rooms
filled with enigmatic power.

1054
01:39:28,940 --> 01:39:35,800
And is there a greater mystery than that
our prisoners ask here

1055
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:41,540
in the Lubyanka, why am I here?

1056
01:39:46,580 --> 01:39:49,160
It is what we ask.

1057
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:55,460
Except that here we know the answer.

1058
01:39:56,980 --> 01:40:01,320
It's because the future demands it.

1059
01:40:01,800 --> 01:40:08,200
Our God is the future. And there is no
way

1060
01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:12,720
to refute him. No way to disobey him.

1061
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:18,500
Your freedom is in our power.

1062
01:40:18,740 --> 01:40:20,200
You live.

1063
01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:21,900
At our command!

1064
01:40:23,340 --> 01:40:30,080
You say only that

1065
01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:32,040
which we allow you to say.

1066
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:38,620
And you hear only that which we allow
you to hear.

1067
01:40:39,060 --> 01:40:40,440
You are children.

1068
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:45,680
Pathetic children.

1069
01:40:51,050 --> 01:40:52,090
the sweetest.

1070
01:40:54,310 --> 01:40:56,350
You have no secrets from us.

1071
01:40:57,650 --> 01:41:04,250
We participate in the great project that
is the state.

1072
01:41:11,170 --> 01:41:14,070
Do you know what I found out in the
trenches?

1073
01:41:15,190 --> 01:41:17,610
I found out the Inquisitor was right.

1074
01:41:19,770 --> 01:41:26,410
Every night when the gas would waft over
the mud and the stench

1075
01:41:26,410 --> 01:41:32,570
of my friend's bloated bodies would fill
my nostrils, I would wait for

1076
01:41:32,570 --> 01:41:38,330
Christ's freedom. For a sign that good
and evil mattered.

1077
01:41:38,630 --> 01:41:40,050
And do you know what I found?

1078
01:41:40,650 --> 01:41:46,990
I found the only miracle was breathing
air. The only mystery, death.

1079
01:41:47,820 --> 01:41:50,000
the only authority, power.

1080
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:58,220
Tell me, Professor, what were Christ's
three temptations?

1081
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:02,640
Professor?

1082
01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:08,980
Turning stone to bread?

1083
01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:10,200
Yes.

1084
01:42:11,060 --> 01:42:14,560
Leaping from the peak of the temple to
prove?

1085
01:42:24,810 --> 01:42:27,230
And Christ rejected all of them.

1086
01:42:28,230 --> 01:42:34,090
But in the trenches, even Christ himself
would take them.

1087
01:42:34,690 --> 01:42:35,870
All of them!

1088
01:42:36,650 --> 01:42:37,690
The bread!

1089
01:42:38,270 --> 01:42:41,630
The immortality!

1090
01:42:43,030 --> 01:42:44,210
The power!

1091
01:42:48,890 --> 01:42:53,530
Do you have something to say to me,
Professor?

1092
01:42:58,810 --> 01:43:02,730
Christ was offered them.

1093
01:43:06,010 --> 01:43:08,190
Then he died on the cross.

1094
01:43:13,010 --> 01:43:19,030
He knew he would be resurrected.

1095
01:43:21,810 --> 01:43:25,050
All he risked was pain.

1096
01:43:25,930 --> 01:43:32,800
Temporary pain we risk oblivion that is
why you

1097
01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:39,680
are here because you like everyone you
want us to provide bread and health and

1098
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:44,080
protection and all we ask is power

1099
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:26,640
I'm not sorry for my silence.

1100
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:32,520
I am sorry for what I did to you.

1101
01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:39,020
For what you did to me.

1102
01:44:43,060 --> 01:44:45,540
I could have spared you all of this.

1103
01:44:48,720 --> 01:44:53,120
At the university, they came to me.

1104
01:44:54,730 --> 01:44:59,730
They wanted a list of students for
deferment.

1105
01:45:00,450 --> 01:45:02,330
Yeah, I know. I wasn't on it.

1106
01:45:04,090 --> 01:45:05,410
No, you were.

1107
01:45:06,870 --> 01:45:08,110
You were on it.

1108
01:45:10,950 --> 01:45:12,470
And I removed you.

1109
01:45:14,470 --> 01:45:15,470
Why?

1110
01:45:17,850 --> 01:45:22,470
Because I was a different man in those
days. A worse man.

1111
01:45:26,030 --> 01:45:27,330
You were my best student.

1112
01:45:30,270 --> 01:45:32,070
My most brilliant student.

1113
01:45:34,130 --> 01:45:35,610
You sent me to hell.

1114
01:45:36,410 --> 01:45:37,850
Because I was vain.

1115
01:45:40,530 --> 01:45:42,690
Because I was threatened by you.

1116
01:45:44,910 --> 01:45:48,610
Maybe your whole entire generation.

1117
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:03,880
asking for your forgiveness.

1118
01:46:37,070 --> 01:46:38,070
We're absorbed.

1119
01:47:28,270 --> 01:47:29,410
What are you doing here?

1120
01:47:32,990 --> 01:47:34,170
Did you tell them?

1121
01:47:39,850 --> 01:47:40,850
No.

1122
01:47:41,550 --> 01:47:42,910
I knew you wouldn't.

1123
01:47:47,590 --> 01:47:49,610
Father, I used to feel Christ.

1124
01:47:53,050 --> 01:47:55,030
I cannot feel anything here.

1125
01:48:15,210 --> 01:48:16,530
Anya is gone.

1126
01:48:19,530 --> 01:48:20,790
And Sasha.

1127
01:48:23,350 --> 01:48:24,690
And Vladimir.

1128
01:48:27,990 --> 01:48:34,410
My whole life lived with nothing to show
for it.

1129
01:48:38,110 --> 01:48:44,350
There was a time when I wanted to be

1130
01:48:47,650 --> 01:48:50,970
remembered. And it took me to the
darkest part of myself.

1131
01:48:52,370 --> 01:48:53,730
And I was lost.

1132
01:48:57,910 --> 01:48:59,310
And you found me.

1133
01:49:01,010 --> 01:49:02,430
And you saved me.

1134
01:49:03,890 --> 01:49:08,210
You introduced me to Christ.

1135
01:49:09,950 --> 01:49:11,430
And I was saved.

1136
01:49:15,580 --> 01:49:20,100
But now I'm here and I'm alone.

1137
01:49:21,620 --> 01:49:27,700
And I cannot feel Christ's presence.

1138
01:50:00,140 --> 01:50:01,980
I was afraid you might not wake up.

1139
01:50:06,860 --> 01:50:08,780
How long have I been here?

1140
01:50:09,860 --> 01:50:10,860
A day.

1141
01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:14,800
What happened?

1142
01:50:17,740 --> 01:50:18,740
I don't know.

1143
01:50:20,860 --> 01:50:23,480
Doctor came and examined you briefly,
but he left.

1144
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:25,220
No one's been back here since.

1145
01:50:37,759 --> 01:50:40,220
Congratulations. You might be interested
in this.

1146
01:50:42,340 --> 01:50:44,580
I've heard the guards talking in the
hallway.

1147
01:50:45,980 --> 01:50:50,420
The lieutenant who was interrogating
you, he's been removed from your case.

1148
01:50:51,260 --> 01:50:52,740
Oh, oh, sorry.

1149
01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:05,880
You didn't give them one.

1150
01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:09,100
You outlasted him.

1151
01:51:11,720 --> 01:51:13,620
What will happen to him?

1152
01:51:16,460 --> 01:51:17,460
Exiled shot.

1153
01:51:17,840 --> 01:51:18,900
Who knows?

1154
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:20,320
Who cares?

1155
01:51:21,780 --> 01:51:23,620
The man nearly killed you.

1156
01:51:47,820 --> 01:51:48,820
Brahma?

1157
01:52:38,570 --> 01:52:39,570
Have a seat.

1158
01:52:59,070 --> 01:53:01,570
I'm pleased to tell you that you are
free to go.

1159
01:53:02,690 --> 01:53:04,130
With our apologies, of course.

1160
01:53:07,020 --> 01:53:09,180
Even we make mistakes sometimes.

1161
01:53:12,820 --> 01:53:14,640
What of my wife and child?

1162
01:53:15,980 --> 01:53:17,780
I already released them this morning.

1163
01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:23,680
Last night, Father Mikulski admitted to
everything.

1164
01:53:25,140 --> 01:53:29,320
He admitted that he was the one who had
written those disgusting pamphlets.

1165
01:53:31,120 --> 01:53:33,680
Oh, and don't worry. He's still alive.

1166
01:53:34,940 --> 01:53:39,040
He'll spend a few years at the Gulag,
but you're free to go.

1167
01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:47,000
Again, with our apologies.

1168
01:53:54,900 --> 01:53:56,060
Did you hear me, Professor?

1169
01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:02,080
What of the lieutenant?

1170
01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:19,880
It is he who recommended you as a
possible informer.

1171
01:54:21,740 --> 01:54:28,620
It is he who mistreated you, although he
suspected it

1172
01:54:28,620 --> 01:54:33,580
was to hide his own
counter-revolutionary

1173
01:54:33,580 --> 01:54:39,240
sympathies. The mistake

1174
01:54:39,240 --> 01:54:41,200
is his.

1175
01:54:48,170 --> 01:54:49,310
He is being punished.

1176
01:54:57,530 --> 01:54:58,930
I wish to confess.

1177
01:55:02,310 --> 01:55:04,530
Surely you must be joking, Professor.

1178
01:55:05,550 --> 01:55:06,990
This case has been closed.

1179
01:55:09,090 --> 01:55:10,090
No.

1180
01:55:11,570 --> 01:55:14,270
No, you see, Commissar, the case is not
closed.

1181
01:55:16,300 --> 01:55:17,580
I wrote those pamphlets.

1182
01:55:19,820 --> 01:55:21,200
That'll do no good, Professor.

1183
01:55:22,440 --> 01:55:25,340
Father Mikulski has already been placed
on that train.

1184
01:55:27,600 --> 01:55:28,920
It's too late to change that.

1185
01:55:32,500 --> 01:55:37,580
Even if you were telling the truth,
which I don't suspect you are,

1186
01:55:37,700 --> 01:55:40,960
he is destined for a labor camp.

1187
01:55:43,540 --> 01:55:44,540
And the lieutenant?

1188
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:48,780
What happens to him if I confess?

1189
01:55:50,820 --> 01:55:52,320
He would likely be freed.

1190
01:55:54,040 --> 01:55:56,960
With less rank, of course, for his
failures.

1191
01:56:13,860 --> 01:56:15,200
I wish to confess.

1192
01:56:21,290 --> 01:56:22,290
But why?

1193
01:56:25,110 --> 01:56:27,110
I was a terrible man in my youth.

1194
01:56:28,710 --> 01:56:34,510
I flattered myself that I cared about
culture and literature, that I was a

1195
01:56:34,510 --> 01:56:40,810
cultivated and elegant man, but all of
it I now see was cover for my egotism.

1196
01:56:41,930 --> 01:56:44,550
I betrayed everyone and everything.

1197
01:56:45,630 --> 01:56:47,930
I lost my wife, my son.

1198
01:56:49,640 --> 01:56:55,560
And then two years ago, Father Mikulski
stumbled upon me. Literally, I was

1199
01:56:55,560 --> 01:56:59,820
passed out in the street near my
apartment.

1200
01:57:00,860 --> 01:57:03,480
And he picked me up and we began to
speak.

1201
01:57:04,900 --> 01:57:08,880
And then, in secret, we began to read
the Bible.

1202
01:57:10,120 --> 01:57:11,840
He introduced me to Christ.

1203
01:57:13,380 --> 01:57:18,080
I will not say that everything changed.
It did not.

1204
01:57:18,570 --> 01:57:19,570
I drank.

1205
01:57:20,010 --> 01:57:22,610
I read my books in my darkened
apartment.

1206
01:57:24,790 --> 01:57:28,190
But a glimmer appeared in the back of my
mind.

1207
01:57:29,570 --> 01:57:36,350
And one day I was out after a night of
drinking, walking along the

1208
01:57:36,350 --> 01:57:38,430
riverbank, and I saw my reflection.

1209
01:57:40,330 --> 01:57:41,550
Saw what I'd become.

1210
01:57:43,110 --> 01:57:45,130
And I went back to my apartment.

1211
01:57:47,120 --> 01:57:48,280
And I began to write.

1212
01:57:49,960 --> 01:57:54,880
It's a noble thought for sure, but I
don't believe you.

1213
01:57:55,860 --> 01:57:57,300
Do you have the pamphlet?

1214
01:58:04,620 --> 01:58:06,660
Christ is above the party.

1215
01:58:07,180 --> 01:58:11,960
He was sent to this world to redeem us
from our sins, not to cast us down

1216
01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:13,380
before a faceless machine.

1217
01:58:14,190 --> 01:58:19,950
He suffered upon the cross as his
servants today suffer upon it, banished

1218
01:58:19,950 --> 01:58:26,310
to camps, to toil and die in the north,
disappearing in the night.

1219
01:58:27,110 --> 01:58:31,790
The family is told that they've been
sentenced to an indeterminate term.

1220
01:58:32,970 --> 01:58:36,730
They will rise again, and the Lord comes
again.

1221
01:58:38,990 --> 01:58:43,670
But he must weep when he looks down at
his creations and see what we do to one

1222
01:58:43,670 --> 01:58:44,950
another in the name of justice.

1223
01:58:47,950 --> 01:58:49,450
And we must weep with him.

1224
01:58:51,350 --> 01:58:58,030
And then one day, we must cease our
weeping, feel him in our heart,

1225
01:58:58,070 --> 01:59:02,810
and steel ourselves for the battles to
come. Stop it!

1226
01:59:04,450 --> 01:59:06,170
You have not saved Mikulski.

1227
01:59:07,459 --> 01:59:09,000
He's as guilty as you are.

1228
01:59:10,080 --> 01:59:11,080
I know.

1229
01:59:12,320 --> 01:59:14,380
I'm not doing this for Father Mikulski.

1230
01:59:20,760 --> 01:59:22,440
This is Commissar Rademir.

1231
01:59:23,900 --> 01:59:25,980
Release Lieutenant Ivanov.

1232
01:59:28,200 --> 01:59:29,440
Yes, now.

1233
01:59:30,620 --> 01:59:33,200
We'll discuss his situation at our
leisure.

1234
01:59:39,519 --> 01:59:44,400
Alexei Abramov, you're under arrest for
treason.

1235
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:47,880
Your sentence will be delivered by a
people's court.

1236
01:59:51,240 --> 01:59:52,240
Guards!

1237
02:03:22,090 --> 02:03:26,130
He has seen that the prisoner has
listened to him all this time with quiet

1238
02:03:26,130 --> 02:03:32,630
emotion, gazing straight into his eyes
and evidently not wishing to raise any

1239
02:03:32,630 --> 02:03:33,630
objection.

1240
02:03:34,530 --> 02:03:39,690
The old man would like the other to say
something to him, even if it is bitter,

1241
02:03:39,770 --> 02:03:40,850
terrible.

1242
02:03:57,770 --> 02:04:03,130
But he suddenly draws near to the old
man without saying anything and quietly

1243
02:04:03,130 --> 02:04:06,930
kisses him on his bloodless 90-year-old
lips.

1244
02:04:07,870 --> 02:04:09,650
That is his only response.

1245
02:04:10,430 --> 02:04:11,930
The old man shudders.

1246
02:04:12,310 --> 02:04:15,030
Something has stirred at the corners of
his mouth.

1247
02:04:15,530 --> 02:04:22,030
He goes to the door, opens it, and says
to him, Go and do not come back.

1248
02:04:22,210 --> 02:04:24,450
Do not come back at all. Ever.

1249
02:04:24,950 --> 02:04:25,950
Ever.

1250
02:04:31,340 --> 02:04:32,680
God loves you all.
