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.
