(THEY SPEAK IN RUSSIAN)

"(Doorbell)"

Here.

Yes, sure?

Yes. Then we set the table aside.

You are communists, right? Clear.

Communism is sharing.

In Spanish.

Let's see, let's see, let's see.

Hey...

Perfect, perfect, perfect.

Your cousin is waiting for you for dinner.

Where? I indicate you.

(Bustle)

Pierre!

Why do you speak Spanish so well?

Thanks to the Revolution,

the sons of the proletariat we were able to go to college.

I studied Romance languages.

-That's what we know each other, to practice Spanish.

Her parents worked on the radio that emitted in Spanish

for Spain and South America.

Here Radio Moscow,

for all listeners.

(TOAST)

The counterrevolutionaries they blame the revolution

that they can only eat meat One day a week.

And we revolutionaries are happy to eat meat,

even if it's just one day. -Yes.

-Before, many people lived in shacks, in cabins ...

-My family, for example.

-And now, we live tighter, yes,

but with the cold it is in Moscow, well better,

warmer.

(SING IN RUSSIAN)

Chist, chist, chist.

(CANTURREA)

(Laughs)

Hey...

Okay,

Where do you want to sleep

In bed, right?

Clear.

Well I...

I'm going to sleep like this

here.

(Metal knock)

(Door)

They have brought it for you.

What happens?

They expect me tomorrow.

Where?

"In the Lubyanka".

What is lubyanka?

The headquarters of the Secret Police.

It's okay, it's ...

Not bad, it's pure bureaucracy.

(THEY SPEAK IN RUSSIAN)

(Door opening and closing)

"In the department that I have been assigned,

we receive reports of the culture delegates

of all Soviet embassies. "

"We file them for the record

of cultural advancement of the Revolution throughout the country. "

"It is a very interesting job."

"And the site is ...".

"Imposes".

The Lubyanka is the center

Intelligence Services of the International Revolution.

And there is a canteen where they sell this tobacco shit.

You don't know what i would give for a French cigarette.

Yeah, but ... they made you come

for the Congress of Intellectuals, no?

Yes, but it has delayed Until September

and, until then, I have been given this position.

Yes, as an office worker.

All jobs they are revolutionary

if the party sends them.

Look, the important thing ...

is that everything will be fine.

All this...

it was a false alarm.

You do not remember of what Krisov told you?

Forget about that man. Krisov was a traitor.

That he wanted to convince me so that I too would desert.

Have you been asked about him?

No.

You can even go back to Madrid anytime.

No, I'm not going.

But... Obviously something is wrong.

I don't want to leave you here alone.

Anushka has spoken to me of a possible job, so ...

let's wait and see what happens.

(Balalaika)

Excuse me.

Forgive me for everything.

(Steps)

You don't have to talk about this here.

You and me we don't know each other at all.

(Doorbell)

Walk.

You don't have to talk to me.

We were both agents of Krisov and they are watching us.

That is why they have put us together.

They will question him again. Maybe me too.

And they can be tough, very tough.

Tell him what you want him to tell you, whatever it is.

But stay whole.

The Revolution needs the brave like you.

(SPEAKS IN RUSSIAN)

But wasn't I with you?

It has not appeared.

You've dined?

No, I am not hungry.

Well me too sometimes I entertain myself at work.

-Your? When?

Three hours ago that should have come out.

-Well, he must have gone for a drink with work friends.

He has no friends at work. Easy, sit down.

Sit down.

Have a little dinner and you will see that it will appear.

(Tap open)

(Doorbell)

Oh!

(Doorbell)

So what do you want me to do?

Am I standing here waiting?

What are you going to do?

I don't know, something will have to be done.

Go to Lubyanka ... -No!

I need to know if they have arrested him.

-If they have arrested him, it will be for something.

And better not ask.

For something? Yes? Why?

-By activities counterrevolutionary.

That activities counterrevolutionaries, Anushka?

Pierre is a communist! -Trotsky also said it was.

-Zinoviev, Kamenev and Bukharin.

And they all ended up recognizing be traitors.

Our Police know very well what it does.

Hey! And where are you going?

Amelia!

Where is the Lubyanka? You are not going anywhere!

I'll ask.

Amelia!

Amelia! Enters! Please!

It will come for us! I need to know where she is.

Wherever I am you won't be able to do anything!

Amelia, think of us!

I am a friend of Pierre.

Follow me a few meters.

Stay away from windows.

You don't know who I am.

It's better that it stays that way.

Pierre Comte is in prison.

But why? If he hasn't done anything.

But he was an agent of Krisov, a traitor.

And what can happen to him?

They are going to hold him until he confesses.

Confess what?

That he is an enemy of the Revolution.

Who is a Trotskyist, who conspired against the party,

who participated in attacks, whatever they want.

How is he going to confess that?

If that is not true.

They will force you.

No one is safe.

Anyone can get up being a hero

and go to bed like a traitor without knowing why, like Pierre.

But something can be done, right? We can talk to someone.

I dont know...

Tell someone that this It is unfair, which is not true.

Don't even think about it.

If you don't want to put the most difficult things to him,

to you and your family,

behave like an official exemplary soviet

and don't talk to anyone about Pierre.

Pretend you forgot of the.

And wait.

Did you hear me?

Yes, but ...

But wait for what?

That sooner or later,

common sense prevails again in the Soviet Union.

Come out behind me.

Amelia?

What happened?

No, I have not gone.

Best.

If it wasn't going to do any good.

It is that nothing can be done.

We have to wait and see if ... Yes.

(CRIES)

(Laughs)

(Doorbell)

(Door)

I trust you.

And furthermore, Mikhail asked me to help you.

Now I just hope I don't have than regret my decision.

"Excuse me."

(THEY SPEAK IN ENGLISH)

Are you Amelia?

Eh yes.

I am Albert James.

We met in Madrid with Pierre.

Yes.

There is Jean too.

Jean!

But ... I thought you were in Buenos Aires.

And Pierre? Is working.

Ah ...

Here in Moscow?

Yes, yes, in Moscow.

Jean, look, it's Amelia, from Pierre.

(THEY SPEAK IN FRENCH)

-Ah.

See you right?

(Classical music)

Who are they? Who?

The ones who have greeted you before.

Friends of Pierre.

Friends?

Yes, very friends.

-Chist.

And they want to see you.

Come.

What have you told them?

That today could not be.

Not today or any other day.

I think they will insist.

Tell them no, it can't be.

Tell them he has returned to Buenos Aires.

You told them I was in Moscow.

Well...

tell them that he had to leave from the city urgently.

Do you think they will believe it?

Look, grab your things and go.

If they ask, I will tell them that you are sick.

They will come to find me at home and it will be worse.

I should have listened to Mikhail.

You are not to be trusted.

Right, Amelia?

No, the truth is that I already feel much better.

And Pierre?

He wanted to give you a copy from my last book

to destroy criticism.

He can bring it in tomorrow.

I'll give it to you when I get back.

I thought I was in Moscow.

(Applause and cheers)

(SHOUTS)

Hi Amelia.

Good Morning. Hi.

What is the matter with Pierre? I can not talk now.

Can't we see you?

(THEY SPEAK IN ENGLISH)

Amelia, come with me. They have changed your group.

Come.

Oh!

(SPEAKS IN ENGLISH)

What's going on?

Pierre disappeared six months ago And I only know that he is detained.

Why?

I don't know, they accuse him of being an enemy of the Revolution.

Pierre? It does not make any sense.

He may be dead or that they are torturing him.

What can be done?

You, Jean, everyone in Congress those you convince,

you have to demand that you want to see him.

Ah, a request. Yes something like that.

They have brought you to praise the achievements of the Revolution,

so they won't be able to deny it.

Please please...

Long live Russia!

(Applause)

(SING IN RUSSIAN)

The party is not going to like it if your friends ask to see Pierre.

They will look for responsible and they will notice me

for having counted on you.

So will you hit me for what I've done for you?

You would do it for Mikhail.

Mikhail is not a traitor.

Neither did Pierre.

And it's about his life.

And mine.
