All language subtitles for Crime And Punishment

Everything lays
in a man's hands.

And if it slips out

simply out of cowardice...

What is it that people
are afraid of most?

To do something new.

Yes?
What do you want?

I've come again
on the same business.

My name is Rodion
Romanovich Raskolnikov.

I've come to
pawn something. Here.

Here it is.
Yes.

You aIways come to me
with such junk.

Ah, Rodion Raskolnikov.
There you are.

But why don't you pay
me what you owe me first?

You have been on my ledger
for three long months.

I'll pay the interest.

No. If I chose to sell
your pledge I'II seII it,

and you'll lose it.
That's all.

But i'll pay the interest.

No buts.

I'll sell it and that'II
be the end of the story.

Now, off you go.
Goodbye.

But what about
my watch?

How much wiII you
give me for my watch?

I toId you...
It's junk.

I don't think
it's worth anything.

It's a very vaIuabIe piece.

It's an antique.
My father gave it to me.

Give me at Ieast
10,000 rubles for it.

For this piece of junk...

I could give you
2,000 rubles.

And I want the
interest in advance.

2,000 rubles?
That's nothing.

Give me at Ieast
10,000 rubles for it.

4,000.

That's my Iast offer.
Interest in advance.

You're robbing me.

Suit yourseIf.

all right.
4,000 rubles.

A Ioathsome mess.

You'II reaIIy go
through with it?

It's absurd.

It's absurd.

Oh.

Can't you see
how you go?

My head...
It's my head.

Sick people should
be in the hospitaI.

Stop trying
to kiII me!

So, I'm a drunk, is it
a crime to get drunk?

It's survivaI.

Excuse me?
Can't you see I'm busy?

You, young man,
pIease heIp me, pIease.

What's your name,
young man?

I'm Rodion Romanovich
Raskolnikov.

I'm a former Iaw student,

and now I have
a very bad headache.

Nurse!
help this young man.

Don't you see
how he's suffering.

Leave him aIone!

WiII somebody
get this whore out of here?

I toId you before,
he's not going anywhere

without the doctor's
permission.

Here's your damn
doctor's permission.

Now Iet me get
my father home.

He's my responsibility.

Thank God you're here,
Sonechka.

Get me out of here.

Now get out,
all of you. Get out.

WiII you help me,
pIease?

Okay.

They should have sent you
home with an ambuIance.

AmbuIances are kept for
those who can pay, my sweet.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

I'm so sorry,
my Sonechka.

I'm just what I am.
I'm a no good drunk.

What can you do with me?

I want you to
go home, okay?

To your wife, remember?
To her chiIdren.

And do try and
cIean yourseIf up.

See what a dear, sweet
souI of a daughter I have?

I wish she went
to university,

could make something
of herseIf.

Sonia, how Iong do
I have to wait for you?

I have to go.

We're supposed to be at
the InterContinentaI by now

or we'II Iose all the cIients
I have Iined up for you tonight.

I'm sorry.
What kept you so Iong?

She was visit-fucking
the drunks.

That's my father, you
bitch! Stop fighting.

Stop fighting.
Get in the car.

And you shut your mouth.

She's the best one
of the Iot of you.

I Iove her Iike
a daughter.

Now settIe down...

Thank God you
came with me.

I couIdn't face
my wife aIone.

She may just kiII me.

Come.

Ah!

Where is my money?

Where are the 5,000 rubles
that I hid in the trunk, huh?

You haven't
spent it, have you?

He's spent it all,
hasn't he?

I enjoy it.

It doesn't hurt at all,
I enjoy it.

You drank it away.

You drank it away!

Look! My chiIdren are
hungry, can't you see that?

Damn you! Damn you!

Oh, shut up. Shut up!

Shut up all of you!

Oh, God! Damn you!

And damn you, too.
Whoever you are, damn you!

Aren't you ashamed
of yourseIf?

Oh.

You've been to the bar,
haven't you?

You have been
drinking with him.

And you have been drinking
away my money. My money!

No, you're mistaken.
I...

Do you want to
smeII my breath?

No, I don't want to
smeII your breath.

I don't want to hear
any more Iies.

all of you men
are Iiars.

I want you out
of my house. Out!

Out of my house!

And you are the worst
Iiar of all of them!

Okay.

What am I gonna
feed these chiIdren now?

There's nothing.

There is nothing.

5,000 rubles.

5,000 rubles.

5,000.

You drink it away.

I cannot stand this any Ionger. Sonia!

HeIIo, kids.

Where is a big hug
for me?

I want a big hug
and a big kiss.

Is this all?

well, go do it yourseIf.

Maybe you can make more.

Don't you taIk
to me Iike that.

Look you little fooI,
look.

is taking most
of what you earn.

Don't you dare!

Lizaveta is good to me.
Better than you, bitch.

Huh!

I wiII kiII you,
you whore.

No, no, no, pIease.

Sonechka, pIease don't fight.

Life is miserabIe
enough as it is.

What sort of a siIIy
thing to do was that?

They've got Sonia's money.

I need my money myseIf.

They shed a few tears
and then they're over it.

people can get
used to anything.

Reach!

Where you been Rodion?

I haven't seen you
for two weeks.

Razumikhin...

Excuse me. I'm busy.

You're so busy
you didn't notice.

They pubIished your articIe.

There's an articIe here

written by a man
with your name

entitIed
Superior Being.

I assume you wrote this.

I wrote something that had
something to do with that titIe.

But it was about
a year ago.

I can't beIieve
what I've read here.

people having the right
to commit crimes,

being above the Iaw...

No. No.

Then I don't think you
remember what you wrote.

Listen to this.

Yeah.

''Certain people have the
right to commit certain crimes,

''even kiII...''
Yes.

''...and not because they're
driven to it by their environment.''

Yes.
You wrote this?

Yes.

You wanna expound
on it for me?

the psychoIogicaI state
of the criminal mind

during and after his crime.

And somewhere in it
I mentioned the...

Extraordinary person.

But I never signed that.
I never...

I put my initiaIs on it.
That was all.

I see...

The extraordinary person.

TaIking about the Uebermensch,

superior being.

people having the right
to commit crimes.

You stoIe that from Nietzsche.

If that's what you think that the
whoIe articIe is written about,

then you don't understand
what is it that I've written.

You have to go.
I...

You have to Ieave me aIone.

I'm just... PIease go.

all right, Rodion.

Why do you have all these
Iocks on your door?

You think someone would
actuaIIy try to break in here

Razumikhin, pIease Ieave.

PIease.

ExactIy...

67979 steps...

From the metro...

To AIyona's apartment's
front gates.

The reason

a criminal is
so easiIy caught...

Is because right at
the moment of his crime

he Ioses the abiIity
of reason,

wiII,

and caution.

people on the way
to their execution

must hoId on to every...

Last...

Thought.

I shouIdn't think.

My ax.

Come on. Come on.

Come on, NikoIai,
come and help me.

It's getting Iate.

You see, we have
this Iast waII to finish

and then we can go home.

Home?

We must finish
this apartment today.

And I stiII want to go grab
a drink at Pushkin's bar.

Yes?
What do you want?

Hmm? Who are you?

It's me Raskolnikov,
your customer.

Oh.

Yes, yes?

I got an extremeIy vaIuabIe
cigarette case.

Perhaps we should
go inside and take a look.

Where you going?
Just a minute!

Come back here.

Where are you going?

I'm ready to pawn this.

Why do you look at me
Iike you don't know me.

I could take it somewhere eIse
if you don't want to do this.

Don't be in such a hurry.

Let me see this.

Oh.

Is it reaI siIver?

Where did you
steaI it from?

''R-R-R.''

Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov
my father's monogram.

It's very dear to me.
How much can I get for it?

well, Iet me
check it out first.

If it is reaI siIver

I might be abIe
to offer you...

I can give you perhaps
5,000 rubles for it.

It's worth much more
than that.

At Ieast 50,000 rubles.

all you young people
think of today is money.

all right.

Twenty, and that's
my Iast offer.

But first I have to
register this in my Iedger.

I don't want to seII it to
somebody eIse by mistake.

Wait there.

CIoth. Cherry bIood.

Am I crazy?

AIyona, I'm back.

Why is the door open?

Where are you?

You forgot to give me
the money for the...

Oh, my God, AIyona.

Who are you?

Number 10, upstairs.

Number nine.

Ah! Yeah.

HeIIo. AIyona Ivanovna.

It's me Captain Koch,

officer with
a thousand medaIs.

You may have heard about me
from your sister, Lizaveta.

She knows me.

Lizaveta.

No one home?

I don't know. I...

No one is answering. I
nearIy broke the door down.

Maybe she heard you were
coming with your medaIs.

Ah. Yeah, yeah.

Come on, Iet's go.
We'II come back tomorrow.

Wait a minute.
What?

What?

You see how the door moves in
and out when you push on it.

So what?

So it's Iocked
from the inside.

Can't you hear
the boIt rattIing?

So?
So...

If she had gone out,

she would have used her key to
Iock the door from the outside.

She's definiteIy home.

Maybe they Ieft the stove
running, the gas stove,

and they're suffocating.

well, what should we do?
should we break the door down?

No, I don't smeII
any gas.

I'II teII you what? Maybe
the oId bat feII asIeep.

I'II go check with
the superintendent.

God damn it,
I'm not staying here.

Hurry up
and Iock up the door.

Is that reaIIy hidden?

Nothing's been done.

Where is my mind?

Has the punishment
aIready started?

Maybe I'm all
covered in bIood.

I'm facing the fire.

Open up, Raskolnikov.

There's a poIiceman here.

Wants to ask
you some questions.

Get up!

They know everything.

If they ask me...

Perhaps, I'II teII
them everything.

Sergeant,
have we got the...

Have we got the fiIe
on Mr. Raskolnikov?

all the fiIes from this
morning's submissions

are on your desk, Captain.

Mmm-hmm.

Let me see,
Mr. Raskolnikov.

It seems you owe money
to the university.

University.

How can I owe money
to the university?

The university is free.

Yes, but it seems you've taken
out a Ioan at the student bank.

I'm a sick man.

And the air is very thick.

Do you think
you could...

Stop smoking your cigar?

What did you say?

I've asked you to pIease
stop smoking your cigar.

How dare you teII me
what to do.

Do you know
where you are?

You're in a pubIic pIace.

That's right and you're in
a pubIic pIace as well.

And I've asked you to pIease
stop smoking your cigar.

Here.

Pay your damn debt.

ProbIems?

Every singIe human being
has probIems.

Not just in Russia, it's a deep
ingredient of life, probIems.

So stop waIIowing
in seIf-pity.

Look on the positive side.

You have a nice suit, it's
cIean, your famiIy's aIive.

So...

Be a man.
That's my advice.

Now, goodbye. I hope
I don't see you again.

Can I see that fiIe?

Ah.

Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov.

Ah.

Yes, I know you.

You're a friend of my
young cousin Razumikhin.

He speaks very highIy
of you.

You sick?
You don't look well.

It's the smoke.

Makes me dizzy.

Put your cigar out,
Captain Zamyotov.

Can't you see that
he's not feeIing well.

This young man
owes a Iot of money.

I'm an oppressed student.

My mother's about to send me
quite a bit of money in the maiI.

And when she does,
I'II pay everything I owe.

We all owe money to
somebody, Captain Zamyotov.

We can't put the whoIe country in jaiI.

But there is another matter,
Mr. Raskolnikov.

Your name appears
on the Iedger of a woman

who was brutaIIy
murdered Iast night.

Am I a suspect?

Of course not, no, no.

There must be 500
names on that Iedger.

all we can hope for
is a crumb of evidence.

You know, perhaps...

Perhaps you could be
of some use to us.

After all, you're
famiIiar with the Iaw.

You are a Iaw student,
aren't you?

Ex-student.

Is there something the matter
with you? You look very paIe.

No.

What's happened?

You fainted.

Send the young man home.
Seems to have a bad fIu.

Come on. You go now.

Zamyotov...

Get me all the fiIes on this
case. Put them in my office.

Yes, CoIoneI.

Sergeant, go take that in.
And don't forget the Iedger.

They haven't searched here.

What do I do?

There.

It's all right.
It's all right!

He's been Iike
this for days.

It's all right, my friend.

It's all right.
It's all right, Rodion.

What is it?

It's your fever.

Your nose is bIeeding.

It's quite normaI to have a nose
bIeed with such a high fever.

''I beIieve the superior
being, may in all conscience

''grant himself the inner
permission to transgress,

''even over bIood.''

It's my bIood.

It's my bIood.
It's my bIood.

What should I do?
He's burning up.

I'II stay
here with him.

Better go and get
a doctor.

Condition is becoming
quite serious.

I'II be right back.
It's my bIood.

It's my bIood.
It's mine.

''Certain people have a right
to commit a crime,

''even kiII.

''And not because they're driven
to it by their environment...''

You know Raskolnikov?

Yeah, he's the first door,
number two, on the right.

Thanks.

all right! Let's go!

Whoo-hoo!

Mr. Raskolnikov?

I could be.

I am Mr. Luzhin's
business secretary.

Mr. Luzhin has sent me to caII
on you at your mother's request.

Do you know what this man
is taIking about?

Yes, I do and I detest it.

This is Mr. Raskolnikov.

well, I understand that you are
to get the sum of 100,000 rubles

from Mr. Luzhin
at your mother's request.

You can teII Mr. Luzhin
he can keep his money.

Uh, uh... Wait.

Wait just a second.

Rodion, 100,000 rubles?

You need this money.

You need it desperateIy.

If you're interested Mr. Luzhin
invites you to come to his office

tomorrow afternoon.

Here's my card.

You can sign the papers
and get the money.

Bye.

Goodbye!

Mr. Luzhin's been trying
to buy my sister

with his favors
for quite some time now.

Luzhin?

Luzhin. He's that
industriaIist miIIionaire

you were teIIing me
about, right?

He's an asshoIe.

Take his money.

What, are you so proud?
Take his money.

Who was in my room
while I was sick?

I caIIed the doctor.

Hey, Rodion,
about this money.

Anybody eIse?

My cousin.

The poIice coIoneI?

Yeah, my cousin, the poIice
coIoneI. He's great guy.

What did I say?

What does anyone say when
they're burning up with fever?

Look, I'm gonna come pick
you up tomorrow afternoon,

we'II go visit
this Mr. Luzhin.

100,000 rubles.

It's nice to know that we used
to be all equaI in this country.

Ah, but some people were
aIways more equaI than others.

HeIIo.

HeIIo.

Hey, what are
you doing here?

I'm working.

With that man?

Yes.

He's my sister's fiance.

Are you Sonia MarmeIadova?

What were you
doing with that man?

It's survivaI, you know.

He pays me.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Raskolnikov.
Come, come, come.

You know her? She's
just a little nothing.

I'II show you some reaI women
if you're interested. Come.

But, of course, I'm gonna
be a married man soon

so I have to watch it.

Are you with him?
Yes, Razumikhin.

Good. Good.

No, no. No, no, wait,
wait, private business.

Look, can I offer you
some whiskey, cognac?

This is the best Iiquor one
can offer in all of Russia.

Hey, can I ask

if you've heard from my mother
and my darIing sister, Dounia.

Yes, I'm expecting them
in Moscow very soon.

I made arrangements for them
to stay not too far from here.

So you're getting
married soon?

That should be
quite a grand affair.

Not necessariIy.

These are hard times,
we're in the midst

of a cuIturaI
and economic revoIution.

Food is scarce
and money is scarce.

It's best to keep
a Iow profiIe

during this period of
democratization of our society.

That's a very wise move.

Why agitate an
aiIing society,

when there's so much
hunger everywhere.

Yes, but modern capitaIization
is going to change all that.

Soon we're going
to be Iike America.

Mark my words.
We're moving very fast.

It's become very mature.

Many harmfuI prejudices
have aIready been eradicated.

We have cut ourseIf off
irrevocabIy from the past.

Don't you agree?

Yes, and if you were to
follow some of your Iogic

to its naturaI conclusion,

then it would make sense
to go around kiIIing people.

I beg your pardon?

Are you trying
to insuIt me?

No, he...

Rodion, you have to admit that
what he is saying is correct,

that our society
is progressing.

I can't Iisten to this
anymore. I've had enough!

Let's get out of here.

Yeah, what about
the money?

Yes. Yes, the money. Let's
not forget about the money.

It's all here
waiting for you.

One hundred thousand.

all in cash.

I suggest you take it fast
while it stiII has vaIue.

You can measure the infIation
rate by the minute these days.

Here are the papers
for your signature.

What's the matter, Mr. Raskolnikov?
You don't Iike my money?

I'II never Iet you buy my sister
the way you buy all of your things.

Look, I'm doing you a favor.
I'm trying to save your life.

PIus I want to
pIease your sister.

Isn't it true that
at the very moment

that my sister accepted
your proposaI

that you Iet her know that the
most interesting thing about her

was the fact that
she was destitute?

And then it became cIearer,
through correspondence, that reaIIy

the best kind of wife for you

would be a woman that came
from a poor background.

This way you consistentIy
would be abIe

to reproach her
with the fact that

absoIuteIy everything
that she now owned

was there
because of you.

Your mother has been discussing
my correspondence with you?

She sIanders me.

I've been supporting
this woman,

giving her presents,
feeding her,

the ungratefuI bitch.

You wanna know something
very interesting?

If you say one more word
about my mother,

I'II punch you
right in the face.

Get out.

Go on, get out.

Get out!

Go to heII!

Rodion, you have to sign the papers.

Get out of the office.

You'II hear from me,
you'II hear from my Iawyer,

you'II hear from
your mother.

Boss, should I caII
the poIice?

Mr. Luzhin, I... I'd Iike to
apoIogize for my friend, reaIIy,

he's been sick.

Can we taIk?

PIease?

I don't want his money.

Oh, come on, Rodion.
Take it.

What do you care?
What the heII!

Let's go somewhere
tonight and ceIebrate, huh?

I wanna go to
poIice headquarters.

I wanna ask to your cousin
a specific question.

It's too Iate,
he won't be there.

Where wiII he be?

Come on.

The oId captain
with a million medaIs

swears the door
was shut and Iocked.

But after three minutes,
three minutes, you understand,

when they came back upstairs with
the first-fIoor neighbor it was open.

What was your conclusion?

It's obvious.

The oId captain was Iying.

well, perhaps the oId
captain was teIIing the truth.

Perhaps the murderer
was behind the door.

And when the oId captain with
the medaIs went down the stairs

to find help,

that's when the murderer managed
to get downstairs himself.

And, eventuaIIy,
I suppose, sIipped past them.

Very nice.

Hmm, so nobody
actuaIIy saw the murder?

You see?
There's a Iawyer's brain!

Cuts straight to
the essence of things.

ExactIy,
nobody saw the kiIIer.

well, this is a surprise
to see you, Mr. Raskolnikov.

Razu, how's
my little cousin?

Fine, cousin!

You should read this.

You might find it interesting.

Why would you think that that
articIe would interest me?

This case,
it's the news of the day.

You want champagne, sir?

Oh, thank you,
thank you, thank you.

CoIoneI, won't you pIease join
me in some French champagne?

I think not.
I Iike our vodka.

But, pIease, Iet me buy
the champagne for you.

Marchenko, would you put
that on my biII, pIease?

Ah, thank you.

well, I'm surprised to see
you here, Mr. Raskolnikov.

A few days ago
Razumikhin toId me

that you were
stiII unconscious.

while you were sick
I came to see you,

though I don't
suppose you know that

because you were deIirious,
to say the Ieast.

We were very concerned.

Why would you be
concerned about me?

We thought we were
going to Iose you.

And Iosing me
would concern you?

Losing any human
being would sadden me,

especiaIIy a friend
of my cousin.

What about these two women? CertainIy
Iosing them doesn't concern you.

Why not?

I was shocked when I heard
about those horribIe murders.

But, certainIy,
the possibiIity of promotions,

if you should catch the
murderer, would be fantastic.

Yes, perhaps.

But I'd rather there was no
crime than advance my career.

You're a very
moraI man, CoIoneI.

I try to be.

More champagne, gentIemen?

Oh, yes.

Yes, have some more.

Why? Do you want to get me
drunk so you can interrogate me?

Interrogate you?

Captain, do you have any reason
to interrogate Mr. Raskolnikov?

What about?

well, certainIy the poIice
suspect me of murder.

Suspect you?

I don't see any connection.

Or, indeed, any motive for a
man Iike you to kiII those women.

I mean, you're not
a criminal.

How do you know that?

We don't know.

We don't know
anything about you.

I don't suspect you.

Yes, but the CoIoneI
suspects me.

Why do you say that?

I noticed that you
were reading my articIe.

So what?
Where'd you get it?

I found it on your tabIe

when Razumikhin brought me around
to your room the other night.

And what'd you think about it?

well, I can't say
that I agree with it,

but it's certainIy very
inteIIigentIy expressed.

What inspired you to
write about such a...

ControversiaI and radicaI
subject in criminoIogy?

I mean, the theory of
being above the Iaw.

CaII us a taxi, pIease.

Oh, Rodion,
wasn't there something

specific you wanted
to ask my cousin?

Oh, I forgot.

What was it?
I'm stiII here.

It was about
the oId woman's Iedger,

the one that
you'd seen my name on,

you mentioned that to
me at the poIice station.

Uh, a coupIe of weeks
before she was murdered

I'd pawned a watch
with her.

And it was of great
sentimentaI vaIue to me.

I assume that the poIice have
confiscated all of her beIongings

and I wanted to know if I
could possibIy redeem my watch.

No probIem.

Drop by my office, fiII out a
form, a little IegaI statement,

and I'II take
care of it.

well, thank you,
I appreciate it.

Oh, by the way,

is the watch the only item that
you pawned with Madam Ivanovna?

Yes.

No, I'd pawned a coupIe
of rings with her,

but that was over
a year ago and I

redeemed it as
soon as I had money.

That's fine.
See you at the office.

Goodnight, gentIemen.

Goodnight.
Goodnight, cuz.

He suspects me.

What?

He suspects somebody.

well, he hasn't toId me.

I don't have a cIue.

But does he have a cIue?

Sit.

Sit. Sit.
Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit.

You don't mind if I waIk
up and down Iike this?

Exercise is simply indispensabIe
for me. Hemorrhoids, you know.

I beIieve there exists
a certain IegaI axiom,

a standard
investigation technique,

wherein the subject is Ied

off the track

by a little bit of trivia

and then the most cruciaI

and dangerous question

is asked bang in the head,
isn't that correct?

CongratuIations.

You seem to know
our business.

A cIever man, carried
away by his pIayfuI wit,

can start Ieading the person
who suspects him by the nose.

And you may think
that he'II win out,

and enjoy the fruits
of his cIeverness,

but no, no, no,
he waIks straight into

the most interesting, the most
prominent pIace and faIIs in a faint.

PIop!

Human nature

is a mirror.

Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov,

a mirror clear and smooth.

Look into it and marveI.

Why have you gone so
paIe, my dear feIIow?

You don't think that this room is
too stuffy, by any chance, do you?

ShaII I open the window?

PIease stop.

I can see that you cIearIy do suspect
me of the murder of the oId woman

and her sister, Lizaveta.

And if you feeI you have the
right to arrest me, then arrest me.

But I wiII not aIIow you
to Iaugh in my face.

I wiII not aIIow it!

I wiII not aIIow it!
I wiII not aIIow it!

What is the matter with you?
I wiII not aIIow it!

I wiII not aIIow it! Do you
hear me? I wiII not aIIow it!

Not so Ioud, they'II
hear you and come in.

Just think what
wiII we say to them.

I wiII not aIIow it, sir.
I wiII not aIIow it!

I wiII not aIIow it!
Do you hear?

No, you must have some air, and
you must have a drink of water.

Dear feIIow.

Having a nervous breakdown.

Now, here. Have a drink.

all right then. Sit down.

Sit down, for goodness' sake.

Have a rest. Hmm?

You look ghastIy.
Now, sit down!

You do trust me a little,
don't you?

I reaIIy Iike you.

Do you beIieve it?

No, you're Iying.

You're teasing me in
order to give myseIf away.

You don't have a scrap of evidence,
not one little piece of evidence.

Show me one piece
of evidence.

Not so Ioud,
they'II hear you.

You don't want that idiot,
Zamyotov, to suspect you for reaI.

Because if you do then I can't
help you at all, you understand?

You do see my point?

No, you're Iying!

You're Iying, you're not
trying to help me!

You suspect me,
if you want to arrest me,

arrest me,
but stop tormenting me!

Do it by the reguIations!

You don't have to worry
about the reguIations.

I invited you here
quite informaIIy.

As a friend.

I don't want your friendship!

And I didn't get
invited by you,

I came for my father's watch,
remember?

What is all that...
What is it?

I am guiIty!

It was the painter.

I am guiIty!

I am the murderer.

What did you say?

I am the murderer.

Whom did you murder?

AIyona Ivanovna,
and her sister Lizaveta.

I kiIIed them both
with an ax.

A darkness came over me.

Ah, yes, well, I didn't ask
whether a darkness came over you.

TeII me,
did you kiII those sisters?

He just said that.

Yes, yes, I am the murderer.

I'm ready to make a statement.

He's ready to
make a statement.

What did you kiII them with?

An ax.
I have it with me.

A damn ax.

A damned ax.

Lock him up.
Come on!

Come on!

well, I am so sorry,
my dear feIIow.

But you do see the kind
of surprises that I get.

Get in!

How was it?

Huh?

Shut up!

I don't think
you expected this.

I don't think you expected
it either, my dear feIIow.

Oh, by the way,

I nearIy forgot.

Your father's watch.

I kept it for you.
It's yours.

You don't have to fiII out
any papers or pay any money.

It's my little gift
to you.

You think he'II buy it?

If he's the honest and
moraI man that I think he is,

he won't be abIe to bear the
idea of someone going to Siberia

for the crime he committed.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

I couIdn't do anything.
I couIdn't do anything.

Move aside!

I was not driving fast.

He was drunk.

He were not looking
where he were going.

I saw him cross the road. I was
not driving fast, he was drunk.

I know him.

His name's Marmeladov.

He Iives near here. Let's get
a doctor, I... I have money

I can pay for it.

No, get me a priest.

Can we... Can we get
a priest?

Maybe there.

well, Iet's take him home. He
Iives right behind these archways

and I can pay for it all.
I know him.

I know him.

Okay, give me a hand.

Move aside.

Pray for them, not him.

He's dying, madam.

I am dying.
My chiIdren are dying.

What am I supposed to do
with my chiIdren, huh?

The Lord is mercifuI.

MercifuI?

Not for people Iike us.

It's a sin to taIk
Iike that, madam.

This is a sin. This
good-for-nothing drunkard.

Papochka!

You should forgive him at
the hour of death, madam.

Why should I forgive him?

This man has ruined my life.

My chiIdren can
sing in French.

They can... They can read
and write in French.

We were... We were from
an aristocratic famiIy,

and then my husband died
and I married him and...

And he ruined our Iives.

How dare you?

How can you taIk
about him Iike that?

Can't you see my
father is dying?

well... Let him die.

Katerina.

Forgive me.

I can never forgive you.

Never.

Who's that?

Sonia.

My Sonechka.

For Heaven's sake,

Papochka,
hoId on.

Stay with me. Okay?

Don't Ieave me.

Don't... Don't Ieave me, Papochka.

Sonechka.

My baby.

Forgive me.

He didn't die
with that oId woman.

There was freedom and
strength and we shaII see...

What was that?

What?

You just said
something to me.

Life is a wonderfuI thing.

Ah, life stinks.

I think he's
all right now.

Oh, God.

If we hadn't come...

Oh, Rodion.

Oh, darIing. Oh, God.

Rodion, Rodion.

HeIIo, Mother.
Oh, my darIing.

HeIIo, Dounia.

You're very paIe.

And he was teIIing us... Why
didn't you phone us immediateIy?

You know we would
have come.

Rodion, what's...
Oh, my God!

It's bIood.

He's been wounded!

Rodion!

Oh, my!
He's all right.

Oh, my God!

Rodion! Rodion!

Oh, my God!

They've kiIIed him. They've
kiIIed him. They've kiIIed him.

No, no, no, no.
Rodion. Rodion.

What happened? Where's all this
bIood from? Did someone cut you?

There was an accident and a
friend of mine was hit by a truck.

He just died.

Oh, my darIing.

Let me wipe your face,
you'II feeI better.

Dounia, don't
touch me, pIease.

Rodion, it's okay.

It's my fauIt.

I Iet them in,

I'm a little drunk.

Hey, Rodi.

You never toId me you had
such a beautifuI sister.

Yeah, I mean, Holy shit.

Oh, I must be making
quite an impression.

I'II just go over
here by the window.

Rodion, what's happened?

What is the matter
with you?

You've grown into a
beautifuI young woman, Dounia.

And I'm going to
be married soon.

I know.

Yes. Yes.

To Luzhin.

You know, darIing...

We heard that Pyotr Luzhin
invited you to his office?

Yeah, and Rodion
almost kicked his ass.

So to speak.

He did what?

Yes, Mr. Luzhin was so kind
that I toId him to go to heII.

I don't want you to marry
that man, Dounia.

Good God!

Luzhin, why not?

He's a good man.

I've met him and you're
seIIing yourseIf for money.

It's not true!

You're wrong.

I wouldn't marry him if I didn't think
I could come to Iove and respect him.

You're Iying, Dounia.
I've seen him.

He's not worth
your little finger.

He's a vuIgar,
conceited idiot.

An asshoIe. So to speak.

I want you to teII him
that the wedding is off.

Oh, good God!

You must be very, very iII!

No. I am not very, very iII!

You are sacrificing yourseIf
for my sake, aren't you?

No!
Yes, yes. You are!

Admit it! Mother!

She... She is sacrificing
herseIf for your sake,

and for my sake.
And I won't have it!

Oh, my chiIdren, why are
you fighting each other?

I... I wiII not
take your sacrifices!

Tomorrow morning go,
and pIease!

PIease caII
the wedding off!

I won't do that!

I don't care how iII you are.
Don't ever speak to me Iike that!

He's raving mad.

Or eIse he would never taIk
to his sister Iike that.

I am not
raving mad!

Dounia! Maybe I'm viIe!
But you mustn't be!

And aIthough I am viIe,
I wiII have no sister

who does such a thing
as a sister of mine.

It's either Luzhin, or me!

It's not viIe!

I'm not deIirious, Dounia.

This marriage that you
are pIanning is a viIe thing.

Oh, go on.

Uh...

Maybe it would be best
if you'd Ieft for a while.

If I Ieft?
What do you mean?

How can I Ieave him?

I can't Ieave him. I haven't
seen him for three years.

No, no, no. No, no.

Uh, I...

I'm going to...

I'm going to stay here. Yes.

I'm going to stay here.

I'm going to Iie down on
the fIoor, beside my son.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Uh, go and make sure that Dounia
is okay and that she's safe.

I can't deaI
with this right now.

How could you Iet
her do this?

Look, Rodion,

it's almost
exactIy three years

since you Ieft us
back home in our Ukraine

and came to Moscow
to enroII in university.

Life has been so hard.

You just cannot imagine what
we've had to do to survive.

You can't

face poverty.

This is your probIem.

You had to cIing
to the Luzhins.

You are my son.

But you don't know
anything about me.

I better go back.
Goodbye.

Here's...

...some money for you.

I can't take money
from my own son.

Why not?

Mr. Luzhin gave it to me.

You take money from
Mr. Luzhin so...

Why can't you take it
from me?

Don't you dare speak
so disrespectfuIIy to me!

well...

Why don't you take the money?
You'II need the money in Moscow.

I can forgive you because
you are very, very sick.

Oh, baby.

You are right.
You are right, Rodion.

I can't bear poverty.

I...

We should never
have come to Moscow.

Eat some of your cake.

He has it.

It's gotta be on him.

If it is,
then they're gonna...

Keep it inside,
if it is there...

Get inside,
he's not in the office.

FeeI better?
Yes.

Come on in.
It's okay.

Are you afraid of me?

You're looking better.
Are... Are you feeIing better?

Mother, I wanted
to apoIogize.

It was only this morning

that I could imagine what you
went through when you saw me,

after such a Iong time.

Oh. Yes.

Yes, yes. well, we were so concerned.

We were both so concerned.
But, now, look.

We brought some nice, fresh,
hot tea, and brought cups.

You can have some cake.

Yes.
Of course.

My sister.

My dear sister.

That's what I Iove
about him.

He has these gestures.

He cares. He reaIIy does.

He reaIIy cares.

Look here, Dounia,

I'm of course sorry for
what happened the other day.

But I stiII feeI the
same way about Mr. Luzhin.

Now, Rodion. Rodion.

Don't start all that again.

You're wrong
about Pyotr Petrovich.

I'm marrying him
because I want to.

Because I find life hard.

But I won't deny
that when I am married,

I wiII expect my husband to be
of some assistance to Mother.

And to you.

If you marry Mr. Luzhin, I wiII
no Ionger regard you as my sister.

You're not taIking about this
marriage as though it were a crime.

It is not this simpIe
thing that you say it is!

As though I'd
murdered somebody, or...

Why are you looking
at me Iike that?

Goodness gracious, Dounia,
whatever have you said to him?

Is he...
Is he going to faint?

No, I'm not going
to faint, Mother.

What am I making such a
fuss about all this anyhow?

Oh, go, marry
who you Iike.

You don't mean that,
do you?

No, I mean it.
Marry whom you'd Iike.

Good!

I... I beIieve him.
I beIieve him.

Yes, everything wiII
be all right.

Dounia and I both wanted
to invite you to join us

on Tuesday evening,

we're having some dinner,

I'm cooking and...

It wiII be Pyotr
and Dounia's engagement.

So Mr. Luzhin wiII be there?

Uh, yes, yes.

Then I'II come.

I have to teII you
we're taking a risk.

Pyotr Petrovich
has specificaIIy said

that he does not
want you to be there.

well, then,
it's not up to me.

I'II do what
you think is best.

Oh! No, no, no, no, no.

Dounia absoIuteIy
insists that you come,

and I absoIuteIy
agree with her.

I decided to ask you,

to ask you most seriousIy,
pIease come.

Then I'II come.

My famiIy is together again.

I knocked but...

Oh! Come, come in, uh...

I expect that you've come
in from your stepmother's.

Yes.

We're having a little...
FuneraI meaI on Wednesday.

Mrs. MarmeIadova,
she begs you to come.

Mother,

this is the daughter
of the unfortunate man

that I toId you
about yesterday.

Uh, Miss Sonia
Semyonovna MarmeIadova.

He died in this
poor girI's arms.

Oh, my dear.

Oh, my honey.
I'm so sorry.

would you pIease stay for
something to eat, pIease?

No, I couIdn't possibIy.

PIease forgive me.

PIease forgive me.

I'm reaIIy sorry.

Thank you.

Oh!

Oh, thank you.

Oh, thank you, Pyotr.

Oh, pIease, pIease,
come in.

Oh, they are beautifuI.

Thank you so much.

Pyotr, Pyotr,
thank you very much.

Oh, yes.

Oh. BeautifuI.
Aren't they beautifuI, Mama?

The smeII!

Oh, now we must take
your coat, your hat.

Mama's cooked you
a speciaI Ukrainian meaI.

WonderfuI borscht.

Do you Iike borscht,
Pyotr?

And I'II put
the fIowers in water.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Good evening.

So...

So, sit down, sit down.

Sit down, everybody.

Now, dinner wiII be
served in a minute.

Um...

Oh, well, my borscht.
Oh, Mama.

I'II get my borscht.

Wait tiII you taste my
mother's borscht, Razumikhin.

I'm sure it's
the best in the worId.

Oh, no, no. Look, look.

I'm afraid I have a business
appointment so I won't be in your way.

I won't stay for dinner.

Pyotr, pIease.

You were intending to spend the
evening with us, weren't you?

Yes, so I was.

But your brother has not
apoIogized to me now, has he?

Let's get this
out in the open.

If my brother has insuIted you
then he must and wiII apoIogize.

Yeah, but there
are certain cases

where certain insuIts go
unforgiven. So you must understand.

only one of us can be
present at this dinner.

It's either him, or me.

well...

If my brother is to bIame,
then he wiII apoIogize.

well...

I'm surprised that
you're putting it that way.

Much as I care for you, I don't
have to Iike your reIatives, too.

PIease understand.

If you don't make it up, then I
wiII have to choose between you...

I find your words
offensive to me.

Just putting us in the same
breath together, I find offensive.

It shows how
little you care for me.

Offensive?

I put you on the same IeveI as
the most precious thing in my life!

My own famiIy!

And you say you were offended
because I don't vaIue you enough?

Your Iove for
your future husband

should be greater
than your Iove

for this insoIent little
nitwit you caII your brother.

I cIearIy toId you that
I did not want to see him,

nor speak to him.

And you purposeIy invited him
to my dinner, in my apartment,

which might I remind you,
I am paying for.

Mr. Luzhin.

You do not deserve
to be a part of our famiIy.

all right.

And what's more, you don't
deserve an apoIogy from me.

And if you reaIIy don't
Iike my presence here

then just get out of here!

He doesn't mean
what he's saying.

Now, you see, Dounia,
whether any

agreement is
possibIe here, huh?

And all of this, after I had
Ient this man 100,000 rubles

in the presence
of this man.

And especiaIIy since you
know the 3,000,000 rubles

I promised to give you
when I marry your daughter.

That was supposed
to be a secret.

Aren't you ashamed
now, Dounia?

Yes, I am.

Mr. Luzhin,
pIease go away.

If I Ieave now,
I wiII never come back.

Think this through cIearIy.
I never go back on my word.

I don't want you
to come back.

Mr. Luzhin, I think

maybe it wiII be better
if you Ieave our apartment.

What?

Your apartment?

I pay for it.

I could sue you.

proving your intentions.

Not to mention a Iot of money I
spent on expenses for you, huh?

You... You never spent anything on us!

He... He didn't even
meet us at the station,

when we arrived in Moscow.

I had to beg
a stranger for a ride.

I didn't pay anything?

What about the 100,000
rubles I gave your son,

and 20,000 Iast year,

when the rubIe had vaIue?

Mr. Luzhin, you have
absoIuteIy no IegaI grounds.

all you're doing here is
you're demeaning my mother.

And my sister.

And that's all
that you're good at.

Your sister is nothing
more than a beggar.

She had the chance
to be the wife

of one of the biggest
industriaIists in Russia,

and now, it's over.

I promise you, it's over!

Do you think, sir,

that I wiII give my Dounia to a
despicabIe person Iike yourseIf!

Pyotr Petrovich,

I think it's time
for you to Ieave.

Don't touch me!

Take your hands off her!

Or I'II throw you down the
steps headfirst. I mean it!

Not another word.

PIease go.

Okay.

I've been reading
your articIe.

Third time.

The one that's been pubIished.

Oh.

I fairIy gasped
aIoud when I saw it.

''Oh, what I fooI I am!''
I thought to myseIf.

''That's what he's been
doing with his time.

''Learned men are all aIike.

''It's quite probabIe
that he has some great

''new ideas in
his head just now.''

So...

I've been reading it,
my dear.

And, well, of course
I don't understand much of it.

Let me see it.

And I've Iearned
something from it.

I have Iearned my
son is going to be

one of the Ieading knights
of the inteIIigentsia.

And they dare to
say that you're mad!

well...

But, you do know, I mean,
that's what they thought.

And the expIanation
for all this is quite simply

that for the time being,
you don't want anything

because you're preoccupied
with far more important matters.

It's funny.

It's almost as if you're

burying me

or saying fareweII
to me forever.

Who knows, perhaps

this is the Iast time that
we'II ever see one another.

What?

What are you saying?

I reaIIy have to go.

I want to teII
you something, Mother.

And you, Dounia, too.

I've reaIized that...

It would be better if we part.

I'm not feeIing well.

I'm restIess.

I'II come back
and I'II visit you

later when I can.

I'II aIways be
thinking about you.

I Iove you.

Just, Ieave me...

Leave me aIone.

Just forget about me.

That would be better.

Rodion.

Rodion, you...

Are you...
Are you Ieaving us?

But why are you...
Why are you going away?

What are you saying?

Don't come after me.

If you Iove me, then just
try and forget about me.

Otherwise,

I'II come to hate you.

Oh, dear.

My darIing son.

But I Iove you.
I Iove you.

could you pIease give
me some expIanation?

Or I'II go mad.

You'II...

...come to understand
at some point.

I have to go.

But... But, Rodion, Rodion,
what is it all about?

Has something
terribIe happened?

Are you...
Oh, you're not well.

Goodbye.

Rodion,
Rodion, Rodion.

Forgive us.
PIease, forgive us.

Forgive us. We...

Can't you forgive us? Can't we be
happy again the way we were before?

PIease.

Rodion, why can't you
forgive us?

What are you doing to Mother?

It's all right.

I'II come back and...

I'II see you.

You're a wicked,
heartIess egoist!

He's not heartIess.

He's just not feeIing well.

He Ioves you.

You must see that.

I'II go taIk to him.

Stay with your mother.

Rodion,

where are you going?

I knew that you'd
come after me.

Go back in there with them,

and stay with
them tomorrow.

And...

Forever after that.

Goodbye.

What? Wait, wait, wait!

Rodion, what's the matter?

You can't do
something Iike this.

Look, once and for all, don't
ask me about any of this ever.

There is nothing
that I can teII you.

And don't come to see me.

I might come back here.

Abandon me, but don't
abandon them. Understand?

Abandon me.

But don't abandon them.

Do you understand?

Now you understand.

Now you get back
in there with them.

Where you've been
all night?

What are you doing
in my room?

Uh, it was midnight.

I'd just Ieft my cIub.
You know, the Savoy.

And I felt Iike waIking.

I was waIking the streets
because I Iike the cold.

clear air, it keeps me aIert.

I passed the dormitory
and I said to myseIf,

''I'II pay
Raskolnikov a visit.''

And the door was not
Iocked, so I Iet myseIf in.

I've been pIaying a rather a
good game of chess by myseIf.

Why don't you teII me what
it is that's brought you here?

I came because I think
I owe you an expIanation.

I'm sure you know that
the sudden confession

of Dimitri was a setup.

And I feeI badIy about it.

Oh, what can I say, it was
a cheap underhanded trick.

But you see I felt
sure that a gentIeman

and an inteIIectuaI
such as yourseIf,

would never aIIow a man to go to prison

for a crime
he didn't commit.

You mean, Dimitri's
confession was a bIuff?

Yes.

It was a setup.

well, if he didn't commit
the murder, who did?

What do you mean,
''Who did''?

Why, Rodion Romanovich,
you did.

You kiIIed them.

You committed the murders.

would you Iike to
finish this game?

You could pIay the bIack.
It has the upper hand.

I didn't do it.
It wasn't me.

No, Rodion Romanovich,
it was you.

It was you all right.

You and nobody eIse.

Good move.

Let me expIain myseIf.

When you didn't break down
after Dimitri's phony confession,

I reaIized that what I
needed was a little detaiI.

A little crumb.

A little piece of proof.

So, I went back to being a
detective instead of a psychoIogist.

I made another visit
to the scene of the crime.

well, one never knows
what one could've missed.

And I think I found it.

It was hiding behind
the Ieg of that heavy bed

that no one had
bothered to move.

ActuaIIy,

I think we both were looking
for the same thing, weren't we?

Care for a cigarette?

Look at this beautifuI case.

So intricate, detaiIed.

It's a work of art.

I'm sure it meant
a great deaI to somebody.

I found it at
the scene of the crime.

Do you recognize
this siIver cigarette case?

It's a beautifuI case.

It is.

I suspect it
beIongs to the kiIIer.

How interesting.

Check.

Good move.

Unexpected.

Have you noticed...

This little inscription?

It's so small.

Yeah...

Yes, but it so happens that
I've got my magnifying gIass.

Here.

Can you read it now?

No. It's...

well, that is why I am a detective.
I think I can figure it out.

You see, that
Iooks Iike ''R-R''.

And this must have
been the third ''R''.

I see. So, you figure that
this case beIongs to me.

You see, Rodion
Romanovich Raskolnikov...

It was the oId
woman's Iedger that first

bought your name
to my attention.

It wasn't proof.
But it was a hint.

And then there
was the young man

who by chance fainted
in our poIice station.

well, it added up.

And then came your essay in
that pretentious pubIication.

I read it over and over again and
Finally I memorized it by heart

and came to the conclusion that
it was thought out on severaI

sIeepIess nights
of wiId excitement,

heart heaving
and pounding.

I was repeIIed by your
theory of the right to crime.

And thought to myseIf, this
man is heading for troubIe.

As an investigator, I
admit I was carried away but

I knew that you were my man.

I have to catch you and
save you at the same time.

So, I came to the conclusion

that this man would come
to me of his own accord.

If he was guiIty,
he would certainIy come.

Somebody eIse might not,
but this one wiII.

So, I waited for you.
And you came to me for help.

I saw it in your eyes.

I saw through you then,

as if I were looking
through a looking gIass.

But it was not enough.

I needed tangibIe evidence.

Are you sure you
won't have a cigarette?

You see, at the end of the day

the Iaw cannot trust the moraI
conviction of any human being.

One needs proof.

I'm sorry.

Check mate.

No.

You can't make that move,
the queen is here.

I'm sorry.

I have some
business to attend to.

We'II have to
finish this game later.

You can stay here
if you Iike.

Wait a second!

would you mind if
I waIked with you?

Are you afraid that
I wiII try to escape?

Supposing that you've concocted enough
proof to get me a guiIty verdict.

Mind you I'm not
admitting that I'm guiIty.

But what would be the
point of my confessing?

How about a
Iighter sentence?

How could I be guaranteed
a Iighter sentence?

I'm an honest man,
Raskolnikov,

my word is my bond
and I have a great

deaI of infIuence
with the courts.

I can get you
years off your sentence

if you're prepared to
give me a confession.

No, I don't reaIIy want
it, I don't reaIIy want a...

Lighter sentence. I don't give a
damn about your Iighter sentence.

Don't despise life.

Every day of
life is a treasure.

And Siberia is a Iong death.

How can you
not want life?

You're young, you've
so much ahead of you.

The chains are not forever
if you confess then...

You'II get a short
sentence, I assure you,

Fight for life,
young man, don't give up!

What do you know? You don't
know that I kiIIed those women,

you don't know what kind
of sentence they'II give me.

You've kiIIed, I know.

But you're not a viIIain.

You stiII have
a Iot to Iive for.

You know
who's buried here.

He did worse things than you,
a hundred million times worse.

He never confessed.

He never took
his punishment.

He never had another life
and was never redeemed.

You're Iucky.

Look around this square.

God was banished from here
for more than 70 years.

And this man buried here

hated God.

He wouldn't Iet his people come
to God for mercy, for redemption,

forgiveness.

The first steps towards forgiveness
is to give oneseIf to justice.

You're not above the Iaw.
You're not an Uebermensch.

I know you don't beIieve it,
but God wiII sustain you.

Take your punishment

and you wiII
accept yourseIf again.

Acceptance is
Uebermensch.

To be abIe to
accept yourseIf

is to be a superior being.

Who are you?

From what height

and what majestic tranquiIity
do you utter these words?

Who am I?

I'm a man who's
been used up.

If you Iike, I'm a man
who has some feeIing,

and knows a thing
or two about life.

That's why I ask
you to Iisten to me.

Think about it,
my friend.

What if I run away?

You won't run away.

You can't escape
yourseIf if you run away.

You need to go through the
punishment to redeem yourseIf.

When you wake up in the morning
you must be content with yourseIf.

Even if I were to Iock you
up in a ceII, suffering,

certainIy one day
you would come forward.

but suffering
is a great thing.

Pacifies the aching souI.

No, Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov,
you won't run away from me.

In as much as you won't
run away from yourseIf.

You're a strange man,

Porfiry Petrovitch.

And, I've Iistened to you

because I was curious.

But I want you
to remember,

I have made no kind
of confession to you.

Bear that in mind.

I don't know what you pIan
to do for the next few hours,

but I have one request.

If by chance,

just in case, I don't think
for a moment you would,

I don't think
you're capabIe of it,

but it may occur to you
to end things differentIy

in some fantastic sort of way,
to take life into your own hands.

I'm sure you wiII
forgive me,

but Ieave a few brief Iines
for my piece of mind,

so that when you're no
Ionger with us I can know that

I was right about you.

I too must Iive with myseIf.

Do you know
Lizaveta Ivanovna?

What?

Did you know
Lizaveta Ivanovna?

Yes, did you know her?

Didn't she...
Didn't she beat you up?

No, she was murdered.

She was brutaIIy
murdered with an ax.

Yeah, you don't understand.

You'II understand if I
come back and I teII you...

Look, I'II come back
and I'II teII you something.

I'II teII you who murdered
Lizaveta if I come and I see you.

You know who kiIIed her?

Yeah.

Look, uh...

I chose to teII
you a Iong time ago when

I met your father
and he toId me all about you.

And when Lizaveta
was stiII aIive.

I won't, I won't

come as a... With a...
Asking for a forgiveness

I'II come more
as a confession.

well, I'II... I'II come by
and see you tomorrow.

Wait.

Wait.

I don't think you
know where I Iive.

I'II be waiting for you.

PIease come soon.

Who is it?

It's Rodion. Raskolnikov.

Oh, hi.

It's so earIy.

Is something wrong?

Come in.

Look how thin you are.

Your fingers are
almost transparent.

Like those of
a dead person.

I've aIways been
Iike that.

So, I've come to teII
you who kiIIed Lizaveta.

How do you know
who kiIIed Lizaveta?

I just know.

Why? Have they
found the murderer?

Guess.

Why do you frighten
me Iike this?

He didn't mean
to kiII Lizaveta.

He kiIIed Lizaveta
by accident.

He meant to
kiII the oId woman.

And he went there

and Lizaveta came in.

So, he kiIIed her too.

Can't you guess?

No.

Go on.

Take a good look.

Haven't you guessed?

Oh, my God!

What have you
done to yourseIf?

What have you
done to yourseIf?

You're a strange one,
Sonia.

I teII you a thing Iike that and
then you, then you hug me and...

Oh, I don't think that
there's anyone in the worId

born happier than you.

So, you won't Ieave me,
Sonia?

Oh, no.

I'II never Ieave you.

I'II follow you everywhere.

Together...

Together, we... We'II...

We'II go and then we'II
serve time in prison together.

Perhaps I'm not ready to
go and serve in prison yet.

Oh, why did I say that.

It's because I'm spitefuI.

I'm fiIIed with spite,
note that!

Some people wouldn't
have done that.

Some people
wouldn't have come.

But I came! I came because
I wanted to unIoad myseIf!

Make myself feeI better
and make you feeI worse!

Oh, but that's... That's
not... That's drivel, that's...

That's so not important.

You were angry.
Weren't you?

You did this, you did
this to help your mother

didn't you, was that it?

What if I toId you...

I wanted to become was Iike,
Iike one of the worId Ieaders?

Somebody that could just
remove any obstacIe, anything,

right out of his way
and it would be so easy,

there would be nothing
that would stop him because

it wouldn't even be a sin,

it would be so simpIe
that he could do it.

And that's...
That's what I did.

It's wrong.

people aren't aIIowed to
act Iike that. Don't you see?

It's wrong, it's wrong,
it's wrong!

But I... I just kiIIed
a Iouse, Sonia!

A nasty, useIess,
harmfuI Iouse!

A human being is a Iouse?

Oh, I know, I know...

I know it wasn't a Iouse,
I... I know, but...

And what sort of
kiIIing was it? I mean...

Is that the way
that people kiII?

Did I... Did I reaIIy
kiII that oId woman?

No, it was myself
that I kiIIed.

I bumped myself off
in one good go, forever.

And as for that oId woman,
I didn't reaIIy...

Enough, pIease!

Enough! Just...
Just Ieave me aIone!

What should I do now, Sonia?

What shaII you do?

Get up.

Get up and go
this very moment.

Go and teII everyone
out Ioud,

God wiII give
you another life.

WiII you go?
WiII you do it?

WiII you?

To jaiI?

No!

Oh, well. I guess there's
no way of avoiding it now.

They're about to catch me.

Oh, no.

You're the one who
wants me to go to jaiI.

Here, I want you
to have my crucifix.

I want you to wear it.

And I want you to do, the sign
of the cross over yourseIf.

PIease?

Oh, very well, Sonia!

And it comes straight from the heart.

Straight from the heart.

WiII you visit me
when I'm in jaiI?

Yes, I wiII.

Look, I think it wiII be a better
idea if you didn't visit me in jaiI.

well...

Can I come with
you now?

No!

What you want a whoIe
entourage down there?

Good morning,
Mr. Raskolnikov.

What are you
doing here so earIy?

On the other hand,

I must admit, we wondered
when we'd see you again.

I'm the person.

What?

I'm the person who
murdered AIyona Ivanovna.

And Lizaveta Ivanovna.

I did it with an ax.

And I robbed them.

CoIoneI.

I think you should hear this.

I think he has
something to teII you.

Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov.

Good morning to you,
Mr. Raskolnikov.

would you repeat
what you just said?

I'm the person who
murdered the women.

I did with an ax.

And I robbed them.

It was me.

Raskolnikov's triaI went
off without great difficuIty.

A number of circumstances,
to the surprise of everyone,

were strongIy in
favor of the accused.

Some people who
knew the accused took

the stand speaking
very highIy of him,

describing his
outstanding quaIities.

His mother, an aristocratic and
distinguished Iady from Ukraine,

gave an emotionaI testimony.

Her performance
moved the judge

and everybody in the
small courtroom to tears.

The Iady herseIf
had a nervous breakdown

when she described Rodion's
earIy age and how he took care of

and heIped the famiIy
when they Iost their father.

The most surprising testimony

came from the accused himself
when he was put on the stand.

Here is a criminal
who is accused of two

of the most
horrifying murders.

He, himself, spoke very simply,
with humbleness and humility.

Far from trying
to justify himself,

seemed anxious to incriminate
himself more and more.

And that was contrary
to what everyone expected.

The judge was very surprised

that Raskolnikov should
have hidden the purse

and the various articles
he had taken from the fIat

without attempting
to make any use of them.

Above all, he was surprised
that he never took the money,

he didn't even know
how much cash he had there.

There were, as it happened, three
million rubles in one of the purses.

Finally, the conclusion
was drawn

that the crime itself could
only have been committed

during a period of
temporary insanity.

I took my responsibility

and the promises I made
to Rodion most seriousIy.

And intervened on his behalf.

And just to make certain
that all would go well,

I took the risk personally to
provide a little gift for the judge.

A few days later the verdict
of the court was announced.

Seven years in an open prison
with hard labor was the sentence.

It was a much
more Ienient sentence

than could have been expected
from the nature of the crime.

My promise to Rodion
Romanovich had been fulfilled.

Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov

was sent to a hard labor
prison camp in Siberia.

Sonia Semyonovna Marmeladov
decided to follow him to Siberia

in order to be near him and see
him at every possibIe opportunity.

Sonia rented a small room in a Siberian
village not far from the prison.

Suffering and waiting for
the only man she ever loved.

Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov did not
mind the horrors of a convict's life

nor his shaved head,
nor the hard work.

strangely enough,

he even enjoyed
the hard labor which

induced his
physical exhaustion

and brought him
a few hours of sleep.

He paid no attention to the
cockroaches in his cabbage soup.

After all, in his
former life as a student

he would go for days
without any food at all.

Sonia took a job
in the prison's infirmary

so she could be near him, to
watch him and take care of him.

He was ill for quite a while.

He distanced himself from her.

He wouldn't even
grant her a look.

But she loved
him nevertheIess.

And he knew that
she was his only hope.

She read him a letter
she received from Dounia

informing her of
his mother's death.

Sonia stood by him
shedding tears

over the death of Pulcheria
Alexandrovna Raskolnikov.

Tears that he did not shed.

Years passed by.

It is said that
time heaIs all wounds.

One Sunday afternoon,

Raskolnikov woke up after
sIeeping almost the entire day.

He stood by the window and
miraculously caught sight of Sonia

far away in the distance
standing outside her shack,

looking as if she was waiting
for him to come to her.

He felt strangely rejuvenated.

Is it perhaps that
he began his recovery?

Seeing her that day
stirred his emotions.

He felt something
pierce his heart.

At that moment he shuddered.

Rodion Romanovich
Raskolnikov was 29

when he was
released from prison.

It was a cold day
in Siberia that morning.

But the air was clear and
the snow was shimmering white.

As we can see,
life offers a second chance

even to the worst
of criminals.

The Holy books say that a
man who has repented his sins

is holier than a man who
has never sinned at all.
