"MOSFILM" "RESURRECTION" "Maslova!" "To the court!" "Now, then, hurry up, Maslova, I say!" "Put it on!" "Tell nothing that is not wanted." "Just stick to your story!" "I only wish it was settled one way or another." "It cannot be worse than now." "It will be settled one way or another." "Go!" "Miss!" "Miss!" "Come here, we want you!" "What a devil!" "Look at those eyes!" "Good morning, Dmitry Ivanovich." " Good morning, Agraphena Petrovna." "What is it you want?" "A letter from Korchagins." "Either from the princess or her daughter." "The maid brought it some time ago, and is waiting in my room." "All right!" "Directly!" "Well, Dmitri Ivanovich, it's time to come in sight." "Then I'll tell the maid to wait?" "Having assumed the task of acting as your memory," "I'm reminding you that today at 11 o'clock you have to be at Court, as juryman, so you cannot go with us to the gallery, as, with your habitual flightiness, you promised yesterday." "I remembered it last night after you were gone, so do not forget." "Your cutlery will wait for you till night." "Come without delay, whenever you can." "Missy Korchagina." "Send to fetch a cabman, please." " Yes, sir." "And tell the person who is waiting that I send thanks, and shall try to come.." " Yes, sir." "You had hardly gone away from Prince Korchagin's yesterday, when I drove up, and the Swiss at the door says, "just gone"." "To the District Court." "Hurry." " Yes, sir." "Where is the District court?" "I'm a juror." "The criminal department." "Just down the hall, and the third door on the left." "Thank you." "This is the most valuable." " Here." "Excuse me, is this the jurymen's room?" " Here, sir." "Here." "One of us?" "On the jury, are you?" " Nice to meet you." "We'll work together." "Second Guild" " Baklashov." "We must work hard." " Of course, of course." "And..." "With whom have I the honour?" " Prince Nekhlyudov." "Good!" "Good." "Oh, you're also trapped?" "Have you not managed to get out of it?" "I never meant to get out of it." "I just want to... conscientiously fulfill social responsibility." "Well, it's a civil valor." "Just wait until you get hungry or sleepy, you'll sing to another tune." "However, they say that this one will be interesting." "Oh, yes." "Today, for example, we have a murder case." "Has Matvey Nikitich arrived?" "No, sir." "Why?" "One!" "Just a second!" "Just a second!" "Hello." "Matvey Nikitich has again not come?" " Yes." "He is always late." "Amazing." "He ought to be ashamed." "Come in!" "Ah..." "Thank you very much!" "Well!" "Which case shall we take first, then?" " The poisoning case, I think." "Yes?" "!" "Oh, well." "All right, the poisoning case." "And Matvey Nikitich; has he come?" " Not yet." "Oh, my God!" "And today I wanted to start and end the meeting as soon as possible." "And comrade prosecutor, is he here?" " He's here." "Well, please tell him that we begin with the poisoning case." "Yes, sir." "Mr. President wants to know if you are ready?" "Sure, I'm always ready." "What is the first case?" "The poisoning." "Fine." "Excuse me, Mr. Zhukov, I'm from the "Moscow News"." "Is there something of interest for the press today?" "No, I don't think so." " But there is a poisoning case?" "That is not interesting." "If there is a banking case, then..." "Excuse me, I'm in a hurry." "Thank you." "Well, sirs, is everybody here?" " Everybody, I think." "Let's check it." "Councillor of State Nikiforov?" " I'm here." "Ivan Semionovich Ivanov, retired colonel!" "Here!" "Merchant of the Second Guild, Baklashov!" "Here!" "Ready." "Lieutenant of the Guards, Prince Dmitry Nekhlyudov!" "I am he." "State Councillor Peter Ivanich Makhov?" " Excuse me, gentlemen." "Matvey Nikitich hasn't come?" " No." "Not yet." "Oh, Lord..." "Hello, gentlemen." "Matvey Nikitich, you're always so late." "I'm sorry." "Again..." "Well, then, let's start, please." "Captain Yuriy S. Danchenko?" " I'm here." "Now please to come to the court, gentlemen." "Judges are coming!" "Please stand up!" "Introduce the accused." "Oh, hussy!" "Peasant Simeon Kartinkin, rise." "Your name?" "Simon Petrov Kartinkin." "What class do you belong to?" "Uh... we're peasants." "What religion?" "Russian Orthodox." " Married?" "No." " Your occupation?" "I had a place in the Hotel Mauritania." "Have you ever been tried before?" "God have mercy, never, as we used to live formerly..." "Peasant Simon Kartinkin, you are accused of having, together with the accused Bochkova and Maslova, stolen money from a portmanteau belonging to the merchant Smelykov, and then, having procured some arsenic, persuaded" "Maslova to give it to the merchant Smelykov in a glass of brandy." "Which was the cause of Smelykov's death." "Do you plead guilty?" "Not nohow!" "Because our business is to attend the guests." "You'll tell it later." "Do you plead guilty?" " No..." "No." "I only..." "You'll tell it later.." "Do you plead guilty?" "I cannot do that." "Because, as I..." "Sit down." "Euphemia Ivanovna Bochkova!" "Kartinkin, sit down." "Kartinkin, sit down!" "Sit." "Sit down!" "Your name?" " Euphemia Bochkova." "Your class?" " Meschanka from Kolomen." "Religion?" " Orthodox." "Married?" " No." "Occupation?" "Corridor housemaid in the hotel "Mauritania"." "Meschanka, Euphemia Bochkova, you are accused of having, together with the accused Kartinkin and Maslova, stolen some money and a ring out of the merchant Smelykov's portmanteau, and having shared the money among yourselves," "given poison to the merchant Smelykov, thereby causing his death." "Do you plead guilty?" " I am not guilty of anything." "I never went near that room." " You'll tell it later." "You do not plead guilty?" " Never." "Very good." "Your name?" "You will have to rise." "Your name?" "Lyubov (Love)." " Ah!" "How is this, you are not put down here as Lubov?" "Religion?" "Formerly, I was called Katerina." "Well, you should have said so." "Your patronymic?" " I am illegitimate." "Class?" " Meschanka." "Orthodox religion?" " Orthodox." "Occupation?" "What was your occupation?" "What was your occupation?" "I was in the institution." " What kind of institution?" "Well, you know what kind it was." "How many years have you been in that institution?" "Seven years." "Ekaterina Maslova!" "You are accused of having come from the brothel, to the hotel room in "Mauritania"" "with the key of the suitcase of merchant Smelykov, having prior agreement with the accused," "Bochkova and Kartinkin, you stole... of having stolen out of the portmanteau money and a ring, and having shared the money among yourselves, and then returning to the lodging house Mauritania with Smelykov, of giving him poison in his drink," "and thereby causing his death." " Cannot be..." "On the contrary." "She could!" " Cannot be..." "Yes." "It was her." "I am not guilty of anything." "Katyusha!" "Nekhlyudov first saw Katyusha 10 years ago, when he was a university student visiting the estate of his aunts." "At first, Nekhlyudov paid no attention at half-ward, half-servant, black-eyed Katyusha!" "After this there grew up between Nekhlyudov and Katyusha, those peculiar relations which often exist between a pure young man and a pure girl who are attracted to each other." "There!" "You've done it!" "Do you plead guilty of having stolen the money and the ring of merchant Smelykov?" "I did not take it!" "I did not take it." "And the ring, he gave it to me himself." "And what about a powder in his drink?" "Do you plead guilty?" " Yes, I admit it." "I believed what they told me, that it was sleeping powder which cause no harm." "I never thought, and never wished." "God is my witness:" "I never meant this." "Very good." "Now tell us how it all happened." "Tell us all." "A free and full confession will be to your advantage." "Tell us how it happened." "How it happened?" "I came to the lodging-house, and was shown into the room." "He was there, already very drunk." "I wanted to leave, but he wouldn't let me." "Well, and then?" "Well, what then?" "I remained a bit, and went home." "You would like to put a question?" "I would like to suggest a question." " You're welcome." "Were you previously acquainted with the accused Simon Kartinkin?" "With Simon?" "I was." "I should like to know what the prisoner's acquaintance with Kartinkin consisted in." "Did they meet often?" "Consisted in?" "He invited me for the lodgers." "It was not an acquaintance at all." "So the prisoner denies having had any intimate relations with Kartinkin." "Very well!" "I'm asking you to invite the witness Kitaeva." "Call the witness Kitaeva." "The witness Kitaeva." "Please!" "I'd like to know, if witness Kitaeva can explain to the court, if she knows, as the keeper of the house, why the hotel servant Kartinkin invited only Maslova to the guests, and not other girls?" "I believe that... girl Lyubasha is educated and elegant." "She was brought up in a good family." "And can read French." "She did have a drop too much sometimes, but never forgot herself." "She's... very good girl." "Yes!" "Very good." "I should like to ask the witness another question." "Please!" "Please do." "Have you ever noticed any signs of perversions?" "I mean physical and moral perversions." "For the moral perversion is even more terrible and pernicious, than physical." "They take possession of hearts and, I would say, the souls of our pure, benevolent youth, bringing them to the often disastrous consequences." "And you witness Kitaeva, who hold the keys of happiness of so many, and many lost souls..." "Don't you have to carry this light, bring them the idea of God's love and forgiveness?" "And you, all who cherish freedom and who bear within your hearts a spark of the divine, should tirelessly bring to the world, to our fallen brothers and sisters, the notion of God's goodness and justice." "We will save!" "We will love!" "Let's sow reason, good, eternal." "And you will thank us for that." "And so, this picture is clear to the court." "The witness Kitaeva, you can be free." "Thank you." "I'm very pleased." "What happened next?" "Oh, yes..." "I came home, I gave the money to the mistress and went to bed." "Hardly had I fallen asleep when one of our girls, Bertha, woke me." ""Go, your merchant has come again!"" "I didn't want to leave, but Madame ordered." "There he was..." "he kept treating our girls, and then wanted to send for more wine, but his money was all gone." "The mistress did not believe him." "And he sent me to his lodgings and told me where the money was, and how much to take." "So I went." "So you went." "Well, what next?" "I went, and did all he told me." "I went into his room." "But not alone." "I called Simeon Mikhalich and her." "That's a lie!" "I never went in." "You'll speak later." "In their presence, I took out four notes." "Well?" "Did you bring the money." "I did." " Well, then?" "Then he took me back with him." "Well, and how did you give him the powder?" "In his drink?" "How did I give it?" "I put them in the drink and gave it to him." "Why did you give it him?" "He still would not let me go." "And I was so tired." "I went out into the passage and said to Simon Mikhalich:" ""If he would only let me go, I'm so tired."" "And he said:" ""We are also sick of him." "We want to give him a sleeping draught." "He will fall asleep, and then you can go." I said: "Good."" "I thought it was not harmful powder." "He gave me the packet." "I went in." "He was lying behind the partition, and called for brandy." "I poured out two glasses, one for him and one for myself, and put the powders into his glass, and gave it him." "Had I known how could I have given them to him?" "And how did you get the ring?" "The ring, he gave me himself." " When did he give it to you?" "When we came back to his lodgings, I wanted to go away." "And he gave me a knock on the head and broke my comb." "I was angry and wanted to leave." "He took the ring off his finger and gave it to me so that I should not go." "I'd like to know how long the prisoner remained in the merchant Smelykov's room." " I don't remember how long." "But does the prisoner remember if she went anywhere else in the lodging-house after she left Smelykov?" "Yes, I did go into an empty room next to his." "Why did you go?" "I went in to rest a bit, and to wait for a cabman." "And was Kartinkin in the room with the prisoner, or not?" "He came in, too." " Why did he come in?" "Some of the merchant's champagne was left, and we finished it together." "Oh, finished it together." "Very well!" "And did the prisoner talk to Kartinkin, and, if so, what about?" "What about?" "I did not say anything." "I've said everything and that's all I know." "Do what you like with me." "I am not guilty, and that's all." "I have no more questions." "Do you have anything else to say?" "I've told everything." "Is it possible that she has recognised me?" thought Nekhlyudov." "I cannot." "The pain is terrible." "Can not you?" " I cannot." "We shall have a ten-minutes' interval." "I, too, had a case with one girl." "Thank you." "Back in the reign of the late Emperor Alexander II." "I must tell you the following..." "Real Siberian fashion!" "Yes..." "He knew what he was about!" "That's the sort of wench for me." "Yes." "The second time Nekhlyudov saw Katyusha, three years later, when he had just been promoted to the rank of officer." "On his way to the army, he decided to visit his aunts." "Their estate lay near the road he had to travel." "Aunts had very warmly asked him to come." "But the main reason for his visit, though he sought to conceal it from himself, was to see Katyusha." "Dmitry Ivanovich has come!" "Mary Ivanovna!" "Dmitry Ivanovich has come!" "Thank God!" "Dmitry Ivanovich has come!" "Oh, Lord!" "Here he is!" "Hurry, hurry!" "Put your fur coat on, don't catch cold." "Here, here!" " Where?" "Where is he?" "Oh, God!" "Welcome, Dmitry Ivanovich!" "Welcome!" "You must be cold, right?" " Oh, my God!" "Mityenka, dear." " Hello, Mitya!" "Welcome, Dmitry Ivanovich." " Oh, my God!" "Mityenka, my dear." "Katyusha?" " Yes." "Enter." "Welcome, Dmitry Ivanovich." " Hello." "Hello." "I see you're alive and well?" "Thank God!" "Here, aunts sent you your favorite soap." "The pink one." " There is everything here." "Thank my aunt, please." "And I'm glad to be here." "When he saw Katyusha," "Nekhlyudov's old feelings toward her awoke again." "He felt he was in love... and he decided not to stay only one day, as he thought, but to stay over Easter, which was two days later." "Get ready, it's time, Dmitry Ivanovich." "Christ Is Risen!" " Truly He Is Risen!" "Christ Is Risen!" " Truly He Is Risen!" "Christ Is Risen!" " Truly He Is Risen!" "Again and again!" "Let us pray to the Lord!" "Intercede, rescue us, have mercy!" "And save us, Lord!" "Aunt told me that she would break her fast after the late mass." "I know." "The external examination of poisoned merchant Smelykov proved that:" "his corpse was swollen, his eyes protruded from the sockets, cornea had grown dim." "Out of the nostrils, both ears, and the mouth oozed serous liquid." "The flesh was of a greenish colour, with dark spots in several places." "The hair was chestnut, thick, and separated easily from the skin when touched." "The skin was raised in blisters of different sizes and in places had come off in large pieces." "The neck had almost disappeared, owing to the swelling of the face and chest." "He looked about 40 years of age." "Theropont Smelykov's height was six feet five inches." "He was a hefty man." "Ah!" "What did I tell you." "About singing another tune." "...found at autopsy, and recorded in the protocol, changes in the stomach... 10 pages were covered with 40 paragraphs describing all the details of the external and internal examination of the decomposing corpse of the merchant who had been making merry in the town." "But the president of the court was in hurry." "This morning he had received a note from the former governess of his children, with whom he had a romance last summer." "She wrote that she would wait for him between five and six p.m. in the Hotel Italia." "This made him wish to get through the sitting as soon as possible, to visit his red-haired Clara Vasilna." "I think the reading of the internal examination report is superfluous." "I ask to read these studies." "The Court considers the reading of this report superfluous." "I declare the court investigation completed." "The court proceeds without interruption to the listening of the parties." "I'm asking comrade prosecutor to proceed." "The matter that now lies before you, gentlemen of the jury, is characteristic crime, so to speak, for the end of this century." "Bearing, so to say, the specific features of that very painful phenomenon, the corruption to which those elements of our present-day society, which are, so to say, particularly exposed to the burning rays of this process." "The main propulsion spring of this crime was" "Ekaterina Maslova, presenting the phenomenon of decadence..." "Comrade prosecutor was very stupid by nature." "But, besides this, he had had the misfortune of finishing school with a gold medal and of receiving a reward for his essay on Roman Law at the University." "And was so highly self-confident, pleased with himself." "His success with the ladies also conducing to this, and his stupidity had become extraordinary." "...she is distinguished from her companions by means of that mysterious... lately investigated by science, especially by the school of Charcot, ...capacity, known by the name of hypnotic influence." "He is piling it on now, isn't he?" " A fearful blockhead!" "This woman..." "This woman is illegitimate." "The child was 3 years old when her mother died." "The good sisters-landowners took her to their house, wanting to educate her." "She was educated in an enlightened, noble family and might have lived by honest work." "But she deserts her benefactress, indulges her lusts, and to meet them, she enters to a brothel." "She gets hold of this Russian, this kind-hearted Sadko, the rich guest, and uses his trust in order first to rob him, and then pitilessly to murder him." "Gentlemen of the jury, the fate of these persons is in your power, but in your power is also the fate of society." "Your verdict will influence it." "Grasp the full meaning of this crime, the danger that awaits society from those, I should say, pathological individuals," "such as Maslova." "Guard our society from infection!" "Guard the innocent and strong elements of society from contagion, or even destruction." "They invite you for dinner." " Be right there." "Katyusha!" "Katyusha!" "Wait!" " What is it?" "Please, don't, Dmitry Ivanovich." "Oh..." "What are you doing?" "In Nekhlyudov, as in every man, there were two beings." "One the spiritual, seeking only that kind of happiness for himself, which should tend towards the happiness of all." "And the other, the animal man, seeking only his own happiness, and ready to sacrifice to it the happiness of the rest of the world." "Now, this animal man, who lived in him, ruled supreme and completely crushed the spiritual man, that he was on his first visit." "And even this morning in the church, this terrible animal man, was the ruler of his soul." "At first, Nekhlyudov still heard the voice of true love for Katyusha, who was speaking to him of her, her feelings, her life." "Another voice was saying:" ""Don't miss your enjoyment, your happiness."" "And this second voice completely stifled the first." "Dmitry Ivanovich, darling, please don't." "Let me go." "Matrona Pavlovna is coming!" "I'll come to you in the night." "No." "You'll be alone?" " No, don't come." "On no account." "Don't come." "Don't come." "Katyusha!" "Katyusha!" "Katyusha!" "Katyusha!" "What are you doing?" "I don't know if I can?" "Aunts will hear." " Katyusha!" "I beg you, just for one minute." "Well, I beg you." "I just..." "I just want to..." "Well, I beg you, Katya!" "Katyusha!" "I beg you, Katyusha." "Katyusha." "Katyusha." "Let me in just for a moment!" "I implore you!" "Katyusha." "What are you doing?" "Please, don't." "Let me go." "Let me go." "Let me go... don't... don't..." "Don't..." "So, this is why you suddenly love your aunts." "If I was in your place, I shouldn't leave for a week." "The beauty!" "Katyusha." "I would like to say goodbye." "Here..." "Take it!" "Take it, take it." "Take it!" "Oh, how disgusting!" "Well, if everyone does the same, I suppose it can't be helped." "And don't waste time thinking about it." "Yes." "I suppose it can't be helped." "But in the very depths of his soul, he knew that he had acted in a base, cruel, cowardly manner with Katyusha." "That the knowledge of this act will prevent him from looking straight into other people's eyes and considering himself a splendid, noble, high-minded fellow." "And he had to consider himself so to go on living his life boldly and merrily." "And there was only one solution - not to think about it, forget it." "And he did so." "He forgot it!" "And over the years, he forgot it completely!" "And now, sitting at the jury bench, his only fear was that everything might now be found out, and that she or her advocate might recount it all, and put him to shame before every one present." "Gentlemen of the jury, before you make your decision, on which depends the life of Ekaterina Maslova," "I'm asking you to think it over again how Maslova was led into a life of debauchery by a man who had remained unpunished, while she has to bear all the weight of her fall." "I've finished, gentlemen." "I believe that all the assumptions of the lawyer, that Maslova has been the victim of an imaginary betrayer, has not the slightest confirmation in the case." "From the evidence before us it was much more likely that she was the temptress to many and many... a victim who had fallen into her hands." "Simon Kartinkin what do you have to say in your defense?" "It is your business, but I am innocent." "I am innocent, it's unjust." "I am innocent, it's unjust." "The defendant Euphemia Bochkova, what do you have to say in your defense?" "I'm not guilty of anything, I've been telling you." "She did it all, and I knew nothing about it." "Ekaterina Maslova, what do you have to say in your defense?" "What is the matter?" "Gentlemen of the jury!" "You have the right to decide who is guilty and who is not guilty." "Use this right reasonably." "Now, please leave and go to your council." "Well, this is, how to say..." " This question is quite..." "The girl is not guilty." "She's got mixed up in it." "We must recommend her to mercy." " Well, we have to discuss it." "We must not give way to our personal impressions." "Well, how to say..." "Those girls are scoundrels." "You know, recently..." "My comrade picked up one of those on the boulevard." "He came back home..." "His clocks were gone!" "Clocks?" "Last summer, gentlemen, in our cottage, they stole a silver samovar from the porch." " You don't say!" "Yes, yes!" "And so cunningly!" "We sat down..." "I'm gonna tell you this anecdote from the country..." "A husband said he was going to the city." "And he warned his wife:" ""And you behave yourself!"" "And in the next village, he..." "At night, he sneaked under the window..." "And she opened..." "looked..." "Really?" " Yes!" "Here!" "Eat." "You're hungry." "Eat!" "Take it and drink." "...let's drink!" "But then he regretted." "He didn't want her to cry." "But what to do..." "And I say that it was all that red-eyed hag's doing." "She never went into the room." " You believe her, that bitch?" "I would never believe her." " Gentlemen!" "Whether you believe her or not does not settle the question." "Yeah, sure." " We are the jury and we need order." "Let's leave aside, for a moment, the question of the robbery." "But she indeed had poisoned him!" "She admitted it." " It doesn't mean anything." "And it was proved completely." "But, why she was poisoning him, when we agreed that there was no robbery." " Exactly!" "But she admitted that she gave him the powder." "Yes, but thinking it was opium." " Opium can also deprive one of life." "My brother-in-law's wife would have died of an overdose of opium if..." "No!" "There are some who get so used to it that they can take 40 drops." "You know, I have a relative..." "Gentlemen, let's get back to the matter." "Those hotel servants are all crooks!" "They stole the key." " Why, it's five o'clock, gentlemen." "It's five o'clock!" "Well, I beg you - five o'clock!" "We are obliged to finish this." "She's not guilty!" " She just couldn't stand it!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Wait, gentlemen!" "Stop!" "Well, gentlemen..." "Shall we say Maslova is guilty, but without intent to rob?" "And without stealing any property?" "Will that do, huh?" " And we recommend her to mercy." "Correctly!" " Right!" "Mr. president, write this down." "Not guilty!" " Oh, my God!" "It comes to the same thing:" ""without intent to rob and without stealing any property."" "Why would we mention "poisoned"?" "Therefore, not guilty." "They were all so tired, so confused by the discussions, that nobody thought of saying:" ""Yes, she's guilty!", with the clause:" ""But without the intent of taking life."" "Nekhlyudov was so excited that it seemed to him that the clause "without intent to rob" nullified the conviction." "...is she guilty..." "Just see what an absurd decision they have come to." "This means penal servitude, and she's innocent." "Innocent?" "Positively." "I think we should change this decision of the jury." "What do you think?" " We should change it." "You?" " On no account." "As it is, the papers accuse the jury of acquitting prisoners." "What will they say if the Court does it?" "I shall not agree to that, on any account." "Well, I certainly do not agree with you in this case." "It's a pity." "Such a pity." "Well, we won't start it all over again." "It's a pity!" " Such a pity." "The Court will adjourn to consider the sentence." "Sir, we've made a shameful hash of it." "What?" " Why, we've got her to Siberia." "What are you saying?" " Well..." "We did not put in our answer:" ""Guilty, but without intent of causing death."" "The secretary just told me the prosecutor will demand 15 years penal servitude." "It cannot be." "...of Statute 771 of Charter of criminal proceedings, decrees: meschanka Bochkova, 43 years of age, to be deprived of all property rights, and to be imprisoned for three years, with consequences in accord with Statute 49 of the code." "the peasant, Simeon Kartinkin, 33 years of age, to be deprived of all property rights, and to be sent to penal servitude for 8 years." "Meschanka Ekaterina Maslova, 27 years, to be deprived of all property rights, and to be sent to penal servitude for 4 years, with consequences in accord with Statute 28 of the code." "The costs of the case to be borne equally by the prisoners." "In the case of no sufficient property, transfer the cost to the Treasury." "Articles of material evidence to be sold, the ring to be returned, the phials destroyed." "I'm not guilty!" "Not guilty!" "This is a sin!" "I am not guilty!" "I never wished, I never thought!" "I'm not guilty!" "I am saying the truth!" "The truth!" "Well..." "Let's go!" "Where is the Chairman?" " He's gone already." "He's in the lobby." "Mr. Chairman, may I have a word with you concerning this case?" "I'm one of the jury." " Certainly, Prince Nekhlyudov." "I'll be delighted." "What can I do for you?" "There is a mistake in the answer concerning Maslova." "She is not guilty of the poisoning and yet she's condemned to penal servitude." "The Court passed the sentence in accordance with the answers you gave, though they did not seem to be quite in accord." "Yes, but could not the mistake be rectified?" "A reason for an appeal can always be found." "Speak to a lawyer." "You are going, too?" " Yes." "In fact..." "No." "Excuse me, Mr. Fanarin?" " Ah..." "Prince Nekhlyudov." "I'm glad to see you." "Though I am tired..." "if it won't take very long..." "Well, what is your business?" " I should like to ask you to take the case of Katerina Maslova." "I'll be glad to take it." "Let's walk this way." "Now I should like to appeal to a higher court." " To the Senat." "I should like to ask you to take this case." "I shall take the costs of the case on myself, whatever they may be." "Oh, we shall settle all that." "All right." "I shall look the case through tomorrow, and on the day after..." "Or better on Thursday..." "If you will come to me at six o'clock" "I will give you an answer." "Good?" "Thank you." " Well, goodbye." "I have to make a few inquiries here." "This talk with the lawyer, and the fact that he had taken measures for Maslova's defense, quieted him still further." "The weather was beautiful, and he remembered the dinner at Korchagins." "Undermining the basis, huh?" "Acquitted the culprits and condemned the innocent, huh?" "Undermining the basis!" "Condemned the innocent..." "I'm not guilty!" "Not guilty!" "This is a sin!" "Do let him eat in peace." " All right." "All right." "All right." "Yes!" "I was angered reading Selenin's article against jury trials." "This, gentlemen, has always been his style." "We have been playing tennis at the Salamatovs'." "It is quite true, Mr. Crooks plays remarkably well." "This game is only for chosen ones." " Yeah... it's a dull game." ""Lapta" was much more amusing." "We played it in childhood." "No, you never tried it." "It's awfully interesting." "Oh, these everlasting disputes!" "The elders and the young!" "Don't you think so?" "Nothing shows up a man's character like a game." "Really, I can't tell." "I've never thought about it." "Will you come to mamma?" " Yes, yes." "Yes, with pleasure." "Missy was very anxious to get married." "Nekhlyudov was a suitable match and she had accustomed herself to the thought that he should be hers." "Nekhlyudov had long been wavering between two ways of regarding Missy." "Sometimes he looked at her as if by moonlight, and could see in her nothing but beauty, fresh, pretty, clever and natural." "Then suddenly, as if the bright sun shone on her, he couldn't help seeing her defects." "This was such a day for him." "I see something has happened." "What is the matter with you?" "Yes, something has happened." "A very unusual and serious event." "What is it, then?" "Can you not tell me what it is?" "Not now." "Please do not ask me to tell you." "Something, I have not yet had time fully to consider it." "And so you will not tell me?" "No, I can't." "Well then, come!" " No, wait." "I see the duties of a juryman act depressingly upon you." "Yes, pardon me, I am in low spirits t7oday." "Why are you in low spirits?" "Allow me not to speak about that." "Nothing is worse than to confess to being in low spirits." "I never do it, and therefore am always in good spirits." "Well, are you coming into my room?" "We will try to cheer you up." "I'm afraid that today, it would be very difficult to accomplish." "Excuse me." "Goodbye." "Remember that what is important to you is important to your friends." "Are you coming tomorrow?" "I hardly expect to." "What's wrong with him?" "We all have our good and our bad days." "Eh, deary me, so you've come back." "And I felt sure they'd acquit you." "So you've got it..." "Have they sentenced you?" "Have you eaten anything?" "There is a soup." "Probably cooled off now." "Didn't I tell you to insist on having a proper lawyer?" "Well, what is it?" "Exile?" "Penal servitude." "Don't they fear the Lord, the soul-slayers, the cursed bloodsuckers?" "Sentencing the lass for nothing." "See the shaved hound, what he's doing!" "Ugh, the fat fright's cackling." " I'll die laughing!" "How many years?" "Four." "There, now, ducky, truth's gone to the dogs." "They do what they please." " Why such a hard sentence?" "Why so hard?" "Because there's no money." "Had there been money, and had a good lawyer, they'd have acquitted her." "Lawyer, indeed!" "Why, he won't spit at you for less than a thousand roubles." "They say: "Why do you sell spirits?" And how to feed the children on?" "A little vodka?" "Homebrew?" "All right, fork out." "Shameful and stupid, horrid and shameful!" "thought Nekhlyudov as he walked home along the familiar streets." "Everything is horrid and shameful!" "I am not going to have any supper." "You may go." "Yes, Sir." "Good evening, Dmi..." "I'm not guilty!" "Not guilty!" "This is a sin!" "Not guilty!" "I never wished, I never thought!" "I am saying the truth!" "The truth!" "I'm not guilty!" "Not guilty!" "This is a sin!" "Yes, she is not guilty for her wrecked and terrible life." "Then who is guilty and responsible?" "Who is responsible for this wrecked and terrible life?" "Why, I loved her, really loved her... with a good, pure love." "And he never loved anyone else so selflessly." "And now what?" "How disgusting!" "Only a scoundrel, a knave, could do such a thing." "And I am that knave, that scoundrel!" "But is it possible?" "But is it possible?" "Is it possible that I am really a scoundrel?" "Well, who but I?" "And then, is this the only thing?" "Was not my conduct towards Mary Vasilievna and her husband base and disgusting?" "And the whole of my idle, detestable life?" "And Missy?" "And my conduct towards Katyusha to crown all?" "Knave and scoundrel!" "Whom everyone, including myself, consider as nice, good and decent man." "Is it possible to live and to call myself a decent man, knowing that the woman that I've ruined, will go to Siberia." "She will go to Siberia, while you will accept congratulations and make calls with your young wife." "You will drink tea decently and read the newspaper with your family." "And worrying only about that that people, society and wife don't know anything about your filth!" "So, what should I do?" "I will break this lie which binds me, at any cost." "Let men judge me as they like." "But myself, I cannot deceive." "I'll tell Missy that I am a profligate and cannot marry her." "I'll tell Mary Vasilievna..." "I'll tell her husband, that I, scoundrel that I am, have been deceiving him." "And Katyusha..." "I'll tell her that I have sinned towards her, and will do all I can to ease her lot." "I'll see her... and will ask her to forgive me," "as children do." "I'll see her tomorrow." "I will marry her, if necessary." "I never wished, I never thought!" "See what others do, and get nothing for it." "And I have to suffer for nothing." "Don't grieve, girl." "People manage to live in Siberia." "You won't die there." "Only I must not get thin." "Still it is hard." "It's not such a fate I want," "I, who am used to a comfortable life." "You can't go against God." "Not against Him." "I know, granny." "Still, it's hard." "That night, Maslova remembered and thought about many things." "She thought that she should never marry a convict, on Sakhalin, but would arrange matters with one of the prison officials the secretary, a warder, or even a warder's assistant." "They are all given that way." "She remembered the student whom she loved while living in a brothel." "She remembered the baker, who used to send her fresh loaf." "She remembered his escort of soldiers." "She recalled everything, but not the days of her youth, nor her love to Nekhlyudov." "She never brought back to mind those days." "That would have been too painful." "These memories lay untouched somewhere deep in her soul" "Maslova never even dreamt of Nekhlyudov." "She had buried all her memory of him on that dark September night, when she was expecting Nekhlyudov who had promised to visit aunts on his way out of the army to Petersburg." "Katyusha!" "Katyusha!" "Katyusha!" "You don't respond, my dear." "She's become addle-brained." "I'm sorry." "Our Mityenka didn't come." "All young people are in a hurry." " Hurry, hurry." "It's too bad..." "He could have come to please the old women." "At least for one day." "Just at night, I hear the engine chugging." "Gone!" "He is in a brightly lit carriage sitting in a velvet armchair, joking, drinking..." "And I'm here in the mud, in the dark, standing and crying." "When a train passes, then under a carriage, and it'll be an end." "Katyusha was thinking, and she made up her mind to do it." "But at the same time, the child... his child, who was in her, suddenly startled, he knocked and stretched smoothly." "And he began again to push somewhat subtle, delicate and sharp." "Suddenly all that a moment before had been tormenting her, so that it had seemed impossible to live, suddenly passed away." "Beginning from that dreadful night, she ceased believing in people, ceased believing in goodness." "She became convinced that all that was said about God and goodness, was deception." "And from that night the change began to operate in her soul, which brought her where she now was." "Screenplay Evgeny Gabrilovich with the participation of M.

"Get up!" "A convict." "Oh!" "I cannot." "Yes!" "One of the soldiers said to me, as we sat in the prisoners' room:" ""It's all to look at you that they come."" "One would come in:" ""Where is such a paper?"" "Or something like that!" "But I see it is not the paper he wants." "He just devours me with his eyes." "Oh, the artists!" "Yes, that's so." "They're like flies after sugar." "Here, the same thing." "They can do without anything else." "They will go without bread sooner than miss that!" "I'll tell you all about it, Katerina." "First and foremost, you'll have to write down you're dissatisfied with the sentence." "And then give notice to the prosecutor." "What do you want here?" "Smell the vodka, do you?" "No one's speaking to you, isn't it?" " Red nose." "It's just vodka you want." "Well, offer her some." " I'll offer her something..." "Come on then!" " I remember one writer came to me." "Convict fright!" " Look who's talking!" "An old man..." "Slut!" " Ha!" "I?" "A slut?" "Go away!" "Yes, one of the guards, who was bolder than anyone else." "But it was all in vain." "Stop!" "You cannot!" "I need to see..." "This is the pass." "Orderly!" "I need to see someone." "This is the pass." "Hmm..." "You cannot." "It's not a visiting day." "I can't let you in without the inspector's permission." "You, sir, please ask him." "Through the main entrance, the second door." "You cannot stay here, sir." "Go on." "Can I see Mr. inspector?" " He's not at home." "Will he return soon?" " I'll go ask." "Tell him he is not in and won't be today." "He is out visiting." "What do they want?" "Daddy is not here!" "Come in, please." "Daddy is not here." "You can speak to his assistant." "What is your name?" " Thank you." "Where can I find the assistant?" "I am the assistant." "Please." "I need to see, if I can..." " Tomorrow, please." "Tomorrow at 10 o'clock..." " Butyrskaya." "Tomorrow at 10 o'clock everybody is allowed to go in." "Come and see the inspector." "What a nuisance." " Tomorrow, please."

"Can you tell me, sir, where the women are kept, and where one is allowed to interview them?" "Is it the women's ward you want to go to?" "Yes, I need to see one of the women prisoners." "What!" "Is she sentenced?" "Yes, she was sentenced two days ago." "You have to go to the women's ward." "Sidorov!" "Show the way to the women's ward." " Yes, sir." "Please." "Whom do you want?" "Ekaterina Maslova." "Maslova, for you!" "Is it me you want?" "I wished to see..." "I wished to see you." "I cannot hear what you are saying." "I have come..." "You're like..." "but no, I don't know you." "I have come to ask you to forgive me." "Forgive me." "I have wronged you terribly." "Why are you not talking to her whom you wanted to see?" "It's impossible to talk, nothing can be heard." "Ah, well, she can be brought out here for awhile." "Mary Karlovna!" "Lead Maslova out." "Thank you." "You may talk here." "I know it is hard for you to forgive me." "But though I can't undo the past," "I shall now do what is in my power." "Tell me..." " How have you managed to find me?" "I was on the jury the day before yesterday, when you were judged." "You did not recognize me?" " No, I did not recognize." "There was not time for recognitions." "I didn't even look." "There was a child, was there not?" "He died at once." "Thank God!" " What do you mean?" "Why?" "I was very ill myself, I almost died." "How could my aunts have let you go?" "Who keeps a servant that has a baby?" "They sent me off as soon as they noticed." "But why speak of this?" "I remember nothing, I've forgot everything." "That's all finished." " No!" "No, it is not finished." "I cannot leave it this way." "Now I wish to redeem my sin." "There's nothing to redeem." "What's been has been, and is passed." "Now I'm condemned to Siberia." "I knew, I was certain you were not guilty." "Of course I'm not guilty." "As if I could be a thief or a robber." "They say here that all depends on the lawyer." "They say a petition should be handed in, only they say it's expensive..." " Yes, certainly." "I have already spoken to a lawyer." "No money ought to be spared, it should be a good one." "I'll do everything I can." "And I should like to ask you... a little money if you can." "Not much..." "10 roubles, I do not want more." "Yes, of course." "Don't give it in front of him, he'd take it away." "This woman is dead, thought Nekhlyudov, looking at this, once lovely, face." "You can do nothing with this woman." "You will only tie a stone round your neck, which will drown you and hinder you from being useful to others." "Give her the money that is here, say good bye, and finish with her forever, he thought." "But then he felt, that now, at this very moment, something most important was taking place in his soul." "That his inner life was, as it were, wavering in the balance, so that the slightest effort would make it sink to this side or the other." "And he made this effort." "Katyusha!" "I've come to ask you to forgive me, and you have given me no answer." "Have you forgiven me?" "Will you ever forgive me?" "That's odd, what you are saying." " Katyusha, why do you speak like that?" "I know you, I remember you and the old days in Papovo." "What's the use of recalling the past?" "The time is up!" "Goodbye." " Please leave." "I have still much to say to you." "I shall come again." "Well, then, come..." "You are more than a sister to me." "Please go!" "That's odd..." "Well... your business or the matter which you are interested in," "I've read it very carefully." "It looks bad!" "There is no valid reason for an appeal." "But we can always try." "I've made a request." "One minute." "But he won't agree." " What?" "Gentlemen!" "Gentlemen!" "Tell him that the price is like I've said." "Ten!" "If it's acceptable - good!" "If not - fine!" "But he won't agree." " Well, he doesn't have to!" "And it is said that we lawyers get our money for nothing." "Can the Senate correct this error?" "Well, that will all depend on which "bogodul" will preside there at the time." "What "bogodul"?" " Well, one of the "bogoduls"." "But she is not guilty at all." " It doesn't matter now." "The main thing is that there are no good reasons for appeal." "What reasons, if a person is not guilty?" "Guilty or not, the Senate doesn't go into the substance of the case." "Only reasons are important." "However, it all depends on what members will be present at the Senate." "But I warn you, I have little hope of success." "If you have any influence there you can but try." "Yes, I know some people in Petersburg." "Just be quick about it." "Or they'll all go off to treat hemorrhoids." "And you may have to wait 3 months before they return." "Here you are." "Thank you." "Now as to your fees?" " Well, my assistant will tell you." "Maslova." "Maslova!" "To the office, a visitor is there." "Well, what is it?" "Oh..." "The card is not good." "Not a good card." "He'll do anything for me." "I'll tell him and he'll do it." "Catherine, tell him about us, tell him to see Dmitry." "We did not set that fire." "I'll tell him." "Suppose I have another drop, just to keep up courage, huh?" "Drink, drink!" "Oh!" "Please, tell him." "Please, tell him." "Catherine, tell him, please." "Tell him." "Now, if you will behave..." "Go!" "Mine are heavy, heavy duties." "My only thought is how to get away." " Yes, I think it's very heavy." "Why do you serve in this capacity?" "I have a family." " But, if it is so hard..." "Well, still you know it is possible to be of use in some measure." "Why, we have more than 2,000 persons here." "And what persons!" "One must know how to manage them." "They are also men, we pity them." "But we cannot dismiss 'em." "We were forced to punish two of them today." "Punish?" "How?" "Flogged, as ordered." "Excuse me, but physical punishment was abolished." "Not for those with deprived rights." "Those are still subjected to it." "Hello." "Here, I've brought you a petition to sign." "The lawyer has written out a petition which you will have to sign," "And we'll send it..." "that is, I will go to St. Petersburg." "All right, I can sign it." "Anything you like." "May she sign it here?" " Come here, sit down." "Here's your pen." "Can you write?" "I could at one time." "Is it all you need?" " I have a few words to tell you." "Well, tell me." "Should this petition come to nothing, we shall appeal to the Emperor." "All that is possible shall be done." "If we had had a proper lawyer from the first..." "My defendant was quite a silly." "He did nothing but pay me compliments." "If it had then been known that I was acquainted with you, it would have been another matter." "They think every one's a thief." "There's something I want to say." "We have here an old woman, such a fine one, d'you know, she just surprises every one." "She is imprisoned for nothing, and her son, too." "And everybody knows that they are not guilty." "They are accused of having set fire to a house." "So..." "D'you know, hearing I was acquainted with you, she says:" ""Tell him to ask to see my son." "He'll tell him all about it."" "Their name's Menshov." "Well, will you do it?" "Such a fine old woman, you know." "You can see at once she's innocent." "You'll do it, there's a dear." "All right." "I'll find out about them." "But I..." "I was going to speak to you about myself." "Do you remember what I told you last time?" "You said a lot last time." "What was it you told me?" "I said I had come to ask you to forgive me." "Forgive, forgive, where's the good of..." "What's the use of that?" "You better..." " I want to atone for my sin." "To atone for my sin, not by mere words, but in deed." "I've decided to... to marry you." "What's that for?" "I feel that it is my duty before God to do it." "What God have you found now?" "You are not saying what you ought to." "God?" "What God?" "You ought to have remembered God then!" "Try to be calm." " Why should I be calm?" "You think I'm drunk?" "Well, I'm drunk, but I remember what I'm saying." "I'm a convict." "And you are a gentleman." "Prince!" "There's no need for you to soil yourself by touching me." "You go to your princesses." "My price is a ten-rouble note." "However cruelly you may speak, you cannot express what I'm feeling." "You cannot imagine, to what extent I feel myself guilty towards you." "Feel yourself guilty?" "You did not feel so then, but threw me 100 roubles." "That's your price." "I know, I know, but what is to be done now?" "I have decided not to leave you, and what I've said I shall do." " And I say you shan't!" "Katyusha!" " You go away!" "I'm a convict, and you a prince!" "And you've no business here!" "You want to save yourself through me." "You've got pleasure out of me in this life, and want to save yourself through me in the life to come." "You are disgusting to me, and your spectacles, and the whole of your dirty fat mug." "Go away, go away!" "What are you kicking up this row for?" "That won't be..." " Let her alone, please" "She must not forget herself." " Please wait a little." "You don't believe me?" "That you mean to marry me?" "It will never be." "I'll rather hang myself." "So there!" "Well, still I shall go on serving you." " Well, that's your business." "I don't want anything from you." "I am telling you the plain truth." "Oh, why did I not die then?" "The time is over." "You are excited." "If it is possible, I'll come again tomorrow." "You think it over." "Your Excellency." "Here is a note from a certain person, your honour." "What person?" " A political prisoner." "Her name is Bogodukhovskaya." "I am in that ward." "Although it is not permitted, but..." "still feelings of humanity..." "She says that you ask the authorities... to meet with her." "She would tell you some important things." "Of course... she committed a crime..." ""So this is what it means..."" "thought Nekhlyudov, only now fully understanding his crime." "He only now saw the whole horror he had done to the soul of this woman." "And she, this woman, only now saw the whole horror, felt and understood, what had been done to her soul." "Well, lass, you'll have rare times now." "Seems he's mighty sweet on you." "He found you, huh, trickster?" "Make the most of it while he's after you." "He'll help you out." "Rich people can do anything." " Yes, that's so." "When a poor man thinks of getting married, the night is short." "You need only to make up your mind and it's done." "Katerina, have you told him about Mitry?" "Have you spoken about my affairs?" "Let her sleep." "The Lord is with him." "A painful struggle went on in her soul." "What Nekhlyudov had told her, called up the memory of that world in which she had suffered and which she had left without having understood, hating it." "She now feared to wake from the trance in which she was living." "because recalling of the past was too painful." "And all she wanted, again and again, was oblivion and unconsciousness." "Whom are you looking for?" " Mr. inspector." "He's home, please go to the living room." "Excuse me, Prince." "Hello." "Please, take a seat." "What is it you want?" " I would like to see Maslova." "This is the order from vice-governor." "Markova?" " Maslova." "Ah, yes." "Maroussia!" "Can't you stop just a minute?" "One can't hear a word." "Daddy!" "Don't you understand that I have the concert." "Prince Nekhlyudov." "She entered the Conservatoire, but there is such disorder there." "She has a great gift." "She means to play at concerts." "Of course a talent like that must be developed;" "it would not do to bury it." "but in a small lodging it is rather hard." "It's not very convenient to see Maslova today." "How's that?" "Well, you know, it's all your own fault" "Prince, give her no money into her hands." "If you like, give it me." "I will keep it for her." "You see, you gave her some money yesterday." "She got some spirits." "It's an evil we cannot manage to root out." "And today she is quite tipsy," "Even violent." "Can this be true?" " Oh, yes, it is." "I have to use severe measures, and to put her into a separate cell." "She is a quiet woman in an ordinary way." "But please do not give her any money." "These people are so..." "And Bogodoukhova, a political, might I see her?" "Well, that's possible." "If possible, I would like to go." " Well, let's go." "All right, all right..." "The senat will answer after one week, then come to see me." "Fine, Stepan, I'll do everything." "I will not survive this." "Ask for a pardon, Maksik." "Tell Martinov, no need to get excited, it's not the time." "And tell him to hide somewhere." "Calm down, Martha, everything will be fine." "Well now..." "Calm down." "Uncle, whom are you waiting for?" " I'm waiting for a woman." "Is she your sister?" "No, not my sister." "And with whom are you here?" "With mamma, she is a political one." "Maria Pavlovna, take Kolya!" "He is asking you:" "Who you are?" "He likes to know everything." "He was asking me whom I have come to see." "Maria Pavlovna, you cannot talk to strangers." "You know it." " All right, all right." "Kolya, let's go." "I think that everything will be fine." "Whose is this boy?" "His mother is a political prisoner, and he was born in prison." "Really?" " Yes." "And now he's going to Siberia with his mother." "That's Bogodukhova." "Aunt Vera has come." "Come to us." "Well, thank you for having come." "Do you remember me?" "Let's sit down." "I didn't expect to see you like this." " Oh, I'm fine." "I feel so good, that I desire nothing better." "Let's not speak about me." "The matter that I wanted to talk to you is..." "You have a lot of connections, so would you be able to help us?" "I don't know if I can, but I want to." "I really want to, if I can." "In St. Petersburg, in the fortress, our friend Gurkevich is imprisoned." "Wonderful man." "Is it possible to intercede, to allow him to see his parents?" "And to get him some scientific books for his studies." "I'll try." "I'm just going to St. Petersburg," "I'll remember, Gurkevich." " Then another thing." "A friend of mine, Shustova, has been imprisoned in Petersburg." "She was arrested only because of the books, that I gave her for safekeeping." "Shustova." "Good." " Uh-huh." "And..." "We've seen a disgusting muck here." "They torture a pregnant woman." "They force her to betray the others." "They do not allow her to sleep at night." "To bring her to a nervous breakdown by tormenting and frightening her." "She's nervous, in pain." "Can you do something?" "I know the vice-governor." "Try to do it." "And one more." "Sorry." "The time is over." "It's time to leave." "It is time, ladies and gentlemen, it's time." "I beg you, have pity for your mother's sake." "I beg you, repent sincerely." "I shall always speak the same." "Gentlemen, time." "Time, gentlemen, it's over." "They will marry tonight here in prison." "Masha!" "Masha, the time." "Masha." "And she goes to Siberia with him." "And who is he?" "A convict." "An altruistic, fine character." "Although these have some fun, it is too painful to see all this." "My place is now empty, let him live." "No." "We're pretty good." " And I'm telling you, let him live." "Gentlemen, please!" "Please!" "What is this?" "This is the last time I'm telling you." "Don't be surprised, in our prison everybody knows everything." "I advise you, and my friends, too:" "get Maslova removed into the political prisoner's ward." "She would be better with us." " If it would be possible." "For now, try to transfer her to the hospital." "They need nurses there." "The work is hard, but it would be good for her." "Yes, of course, but how?" "With whom to talk?" "Try to speak with the vice-governor." "His Excellency, Mr. Vice-Governor, is listening to the sermon." "Please." "Brothers and sisters, our sins are great." "Retributions for them are inevitable." "A, Nekhlyudov, I'm glad!" " I have some business with you." "I'll do whatever you command, but..." "Sit down." "Can you hear me now?" "Well, I am at your service." "Sit down." "Will you smoke?" "Well..." "There are two matters I wish to ask you about." " Yes?" "!" "I once again come about that same woman." "Yes, the one innocently condemned." "I know." "I wish to ask to transfer her to serve with politicals, or as a nurse to the hospital." "I was told that this is possible." "I'm not sure." "Maybe later, when they will be sent out of Moscow." "As for the hospital, I'll see what can be done." "I was told that there were many sick, and help was needed." "I'll see what I can do, and I'll wire you an answer tomorrow." "Please, one more thing." "One woman sits in a political prison." "She's pregnant, but they torture her." " Nonsense!" "Where did you hear it?" " I was told so." "What is it?" "Like you don't know us?" "Have we offended you?" "I told Micka, that you're busy about prisons." "I do understand it." "Mika may have other flaws, but you do know how good he is." "All these unfortunate prisoners are his children." "He could not look at them otherwise." "He is so kind..." "Oh!" "My dear!" "My dear Baroness, I have forgotten." "I'm coming." "Well, you shouldn't be let in." "You always insist on your business." "Well, okay, I'll do anything." "And now let's go to the ladies." " One more thing." "I was told that some men were punished in the prison yesterday." "Is it true?" " Ah... you're on this..." "All I can say is that the interests of the people guarded by us are so important, that too great a zeal in matters relating to the protection of those interests is not so dangerous, or so harmful as the indifference which is now spreading." ""The interests of the people," - thought Nekhlyudov," "Your interests!" "Only yours!" "I don't know that." "Three times I was in prison, and it was terribly hard." "Well, what can we do, my dear?" "In one hand, we need solicitude, and in other hand, rigid authority." "Solicitude and rigid authority." "Now, the visits in the office and in the advocate's room, are strictly prohibited." "Only in the women's visiting-room." "And as to her removal to the hospital, that his excellency wrote to me about, it can be done, the doctor agrees." "Only she does not wish it." "She says: "Much need have I to carry out the slops for the beggars."" "You don't know what these people are, Prince." "Forgive me, Dmitry Ivanovich," "I spoke hastily the day before yesterday." "It is not for me to forgive you." "But all the same, you must leave me." "Why should I leave you?" "So." "But why so?" "Well, this is why..." "You leave me." "It is true what I am saying." "I cannot." "You just give it up altogether." "It is true." "I'd rather hang myself." "Katyusha, what I have said, I will again repeat." "I'm asking you to marry me." "If you do not wish it, and for as long as you do not wish it," "I shall only continue to follow you, and shall go where you are taken." "Well, that's your business." "I shall not say anything more." "I shall now go to the village, on business, and then to Petersburg." "I shall do my utmost to get your..." "our case, I mean, reconsidered." "And by the help of God the sentence may be revoked." "Revoked, revoked." "And if it is not revoked, now I don't care." "I've deserved it, if not in this case, in other ways." "And about the hospital..." "If you like, I will go, and I shall not drink any spirits, either." "That's very good." "Goodbye." "Well, then, sir?" "Who has not sinned before God?" "Who has not offended against the Tsar?" "We know what youth is." "You used to be drinking tea and coffee, so the devil got hold of you." "After all, he's strong, and unclean, too." "What's to be done?" "It was a sin and that's all." "Now, if you had chucked her; but no, just see how you rewarded her, gave her a hundred roubles." "And she?" "What has she done?" "I could not reason with her." "Had she but listened to me she might have lived all right." "What a good place I found her!" "But she would not submit, but abused her master." "Is it for the likes of us to scold gentlefolk?" "Well, she was sent away." "I wanted to ask about the child." "She was confined at your house, wasn't she?" "Where's the child?" "As to the child, dear sir, I considered that well at the time." "After all, she was... oh-oh!" "She was so ill." "I never thought she would get up again." "Well, so I christened the baby quite properly, and we sent it to the Foundlings'." "Why should one let an innocent soul languish when the mother is dying?" "I took care of it." "There was money enough, so I sent it off." "Was he registered?" "Yes, there was a registration number, but the baby died." "She said: "It died as soon as she brought it there."" "Who is she?" " That same woman... who used to live in Skorodno." "She made a business of it." "Her name was Malania." "She's dead now." "May God have mercy on her soul." "She was a wise woman." "What do you think she used to do?" "They'd bring her a baby, and she'd keep it and feed it in her home." "And she'd feed it, my dear sir, until she had enough of them." "And when she had three or four, she'd take them all at once." "She had such a clever arrangement:" "a sort of big cradle, a double one, she could put them in one way, or the other." "It had a special handle." "So she'd put four of them in, feet to feet and the heads apart, so that they should not knock against each other." "And so she took all at once." "She'd put some pap in a rag into their mouths to keep 'em silent." "And so she took all at once." "So, she took our baby in the same way." "After keeping it a fortnight in her house, it began to sicken." "And it was such a fine baby!" "If you wanted a finer, you could not find one." "Your very image." "You know, it was clear, the baby was not her." "She wanted to bring him there alive." "But she said she just managed to get it to Moscow, and there it died." "How do you live, Anisa?" "How do you feed yourself?" "How do I live?" "I go begging." ""How is she?" - thought Nekhlyudov, and his heart stood still with horror as he thought of the state he might find Maslova when he returns." "How is she?" "Is she all right?" "What's going on with her right now?" "Maslova?" "She is all right." "She works fairly well." "Especially taking into account the conditions of her former life." "However, here she is." "Just don't hold her for long." "I found this in Panovo, it's an old photo, perhaps you would like it." "Take it." "I saw your aunt there." " Did you?" "Are you all right here?" "It's all right." " Not too difficult?" "No." "But I am not used to it yet." "I'm very happy for you." "Everything is better than there." "What do you mean by "there"?" " Well, there in the prison." "What could be better?" "I think the people here are better." "No such like there." "There are many good ones there." " Oh, about Menshovs..." "I'm sure that they will be liberated." "And I'm going to St. Petersburg today." "Your case will come on soon, and I hope the sentence will be repealed." "Whether it is repealed or not, won't matter now." "Why not now?" "It is so." "I don't know why it does not matter to you," "I certainly do not care whether you are acquitted or not." "I am ready to do what I told you in any case." "You are talking in vain." "Catherine!" "They are calling me." " Well, goodbye then." "Catherine!" "Take care of the children." "Who's this?" " The aunt." "And who is this?" "Himself?" "Yes." "And is this his mother?" "No, his aunt." "And who is this?" "Is this you?" " And who else!" "Don't you recognize me?" " Well..." "No." "I would never recognize you like this." "Your face is completely different." "Why, it must be 10 years since then." "Not years, but a lifetime." "Why so?" "Your way of life must have been an easy one, huh?" "Easy, indeed..." "Worse than the prison." "Why, what makes it so?" "What makes it so..." "From eight in the evening until four in the morning." "And it's every day." "Then why don't they give it up?" "They can't give it up even if they want to." "But what's the use of talking!" "In order to stifle the feeling of pity to herself, and the useless feeling of reproach to him in her ruined life, she longed for drink." "Here, she could get spirits only by applying to the medical assistant, and she was afraid of him, because he made up to her." "Petersburg, as always, produced at Nekhlyudov physically and cheered at the same time, moral-numbing experience." "But the work for which he had come here, forced him to resort to his numerous acquaintances and relations." "Though it was unpleasant to him and hard." "For the Countess and you, I'm willing to be false to my principle." "Goodbye." "I'll see what I can do." "I will speak with my husband." "And you, please come." "And, please, without interested motives." "I would be very, very glad." "I'm glad!" "Very pleased to make your acquaintance." "And I'm very glad to do a favor to Count Ivan Mikhalich and lovely Mariette." "I'll talk to my friends, we will look at the case," "I believe that everything will be settled." "The Senate - is a home to you." "I knew your charming mother." "We'll do everything for you, all that is possible." "That's it!" "But I'm always glad, my Count." "I am very glad!" "In vain!" "In vain, so grimly set." "Your request has returned." "I'll be very glad to serve you." "Very glad!" "I'll be glad to do for you all that is possible." "We will consider it soon." "I am very glad to see you." "I am very pleased." "Always very pleased!" "The case is with us." "It will go to authorities." "All that I can do for you, I'll do with pleasure." "Please go now." "Get in touch with Ministry of Justice." "I am very pleased to see you." "We were old friends with your mother." ""How many of them!" "Awful lot of them!" - thought Nekhlyudov." ""And how well fed they all look, and confident." "And what clean shirts and hands they all have." "And how well all their boots are polished!" "Who does all that for them?" "How comfortable they all are, as compared not only with the prisoners, but even with the peasants." "It's horrible!"" "I would be glad if I could tell you good news, but unfortunately, in the case of Maslova, Senate has refused." "Having been locked up in prison, they've got weak." "They are weak, and they lead them in this inferno." "His shirt should be untied." " Why have you gathered here?" "Why have you gathered here?" "Why have you gathered here?" "It's so hot anyway!" "Move away!" "He'll die, most likely..." "The weak ones should have been left behind." "He seems barely alive." "What's this gathering here?" "Move on!" "No standing about here!" "What is this?" "Your Honour, the party of prisoners was passing and one had fallen down." "Prisoner or not, he's still a human being!" "You should call a doctor." "You look at me!" "Look!" "Mind your own business!" "Whose business is this, they do not care!" "Yeah, right!" "Lift his head higher." "Give him water." "Coachman!" "Coachman!" " I am engaged." "That's my driver, please, take it." "I will pay!" "Well, let's go!" "Let's go." " Carry him!" "Give 'em a hand!" "Disperse!" "You've seen enough." "Disperse!" "Hold him!" "Raise!" "Raise!" " Careful, careful." "Make him lie down!" "Lie him down!" " It's all right, your honour." "I'll manage him like this." " Legs, straighten his legs!" "Straighten his legs!" "Come on." "Come on, come on, sir." "Go on!" "Where did you bring him from?" " From Old-Gorbatskiy!" "A prisoner." " Yes, sir!" "Yes." "It's the second today." "Well, all right!" "Yes..." "It's a broiling day!" "Uh..." "Petrov!" "Put him into the corner stall!" " Yes, sir." "You've ruined that horse, rascal!" " Yes, he's limping." "You son of a bitch, I'll teach you how to cripple horses which are worth more than you are, you scoundrel." "Look!" "Next time you'll rot for such a horse." "We'll wait for the bosses." "They want to frighten me." "But they will not succeed." "Again." "I'm tired!" "I am not a boy, am I, eh?" "!" "True?" ""One could see what possibilities of a higher life," - thought Nekhlyudov," ""had been destroyed in this man." "Yet he had been done to death, and no one was sorry for him as a man, nor was anyone sorry that so fine a working animal had perished." "And the only feeling evinced in all the people because of his death, was that of annoyance because of the bother caused by the necessity of getting this body, threatening putrefaction, out of the way."" "Well!" "How's your case?" "Good!" "Well!" "What we've got here?" "He's finished." " Don't scare me." "Well?" " Well!" "Take the body to the mortuary." " Confirm it." "Is it true?" "Could not be more dead." " Don't scare me, don't scare me." "Which prison is he from?" " From transit, your honor." "We should remove the shackles, Your Honour." "I'll order it." "Thank God, we've got blacksmiths." "To the mortuary!" "Go." "Why has this happened?" " What?" "Why they die of sunstroke, you mean?" "This is why:" "They sit all through the winter with no exercise and no light, and suddenly they are taken out into the sunshine, and on a day like this, in a crowd, there's no air, and sunstroke is the result." "Then why are they sent out?" " Feel free to ask them." "May I ask who are you?" " I am an outsider." "Ah!" "My compliments, I have no time." "You're... not in this plot?" "Well, then, give me a cigarette." "Please." " And they're all against me." "They are all against me, and torment and torture me through their mediums." "Excuse me." "To the station." "You cannot walk here, sir." "You cannot!" "Not allowed." "Just be quick, sir." "Hello." " Hello, hello!" "Everything is fine." " Katyusha!" "How did you manage to send her to us?" "Come here." "Oh, it's so hot." " Did you get the things?" "Yes, thank you." " Do you need anything else?" "No, nothing else." "Thank you." "If we could get a drink..." "Why, have you not got any water?" "Yes, but it's all gone." "I'll ask..." "What is it?" " A woman is in labor." "Can we leave this woman, eh?" "She is suffering." "Can you tell it to the authorities." " I'll tell right now." "And what do you want?" "A woman in the train is giving birth." " So let her give birth and we'll see." "I can't do anything." "Wait!" "Let the train go, now!" "Now we shall not see each other till we get to Nizhni." "Why?" "Are you going?" "Yes, in two hours." "I am going by the next train." "During next three months, the gang of prisoners, to which Maslova belonged, had walked more than five thousand kilometers." "Belonging to the people, Maslova easily and without effort understood the motives which guided the revolutionaries, with whom she went to prison." "She realized that these persons were for the people and against the upper classes." "And she admired all her companions." "I'm glad you have come, I have to speak to you." "What is it?" " Later." "I'm busy just now." "Well, Katyusha?" "How are you doing here?" "Well, remember how I cried when I was sentenced?" "I must thank God for it, as long as I live." "I've learned to know what I never should have found out else." "You see." "You are tidying up the apartments." " Yes, my old occupation." "And this dirt..." "You can't imagine what it is." "Well, is the plaid dry?" "Almost." " All right, I'll come for it, and will bring the cloaks to dry." "Our people are all in here." "My God!" "This is horrible!" "A note from Petlin" ""On the 17th of August, I was sent off alone with the criminals."" "Why with criminals?" " There is a telegram for Koltsov." "I saw his sister recently." " Hush, gentlemen, listen." ""Neverov was with me, but hanged himself in the lunatic asylum in Kasan." "I am well and in good spirits and hope for the best."" "Yes, he was a poet, a dreamer." "This sort of people cannot stand solitary confinement." "Now, I never gave my imagination vent when in solitary confinement, but arranged my days most systematically, and in this way always bore it very well." "Anatoliy..." "You knew him well?" "What has happened, Vera Efremovna?" " Our comrade has died." "Neverov." "Oh!" "Neverov a dreamer?" "Neverov was a man "such as the earth bears few of", as our doorkeeper used to express it." "He had a nature like crystal, you could see him right through." "He could not lie, he could not dissemble." "His was a complicated, rich nature." "But where is the use of talking?" "Oh, poor Neverov!" " The common people are wronged." "They are dreadfully wronged." " True, Mikhalna, terribly wronged." "But they must not be wronged." "That's our task." "Yes..." "Therein lies the whole of our task." "We go on disputing how to fight..." "Using peaceful propaganda or terrorism?" " No need to dispute." "The truth, relying on economic factors, excludes any disputes and the process of development." " What process of development?" "Arbitrary rule should not exist!" "They do not dispute!" "They know their business." "They just want that the best should perish." "They don't care whether dozens, hundreds of men perish." "And what men!" "Herzen said that when the Decembrists were withdrawn from circulation, the average level of our society sank." "And then they seized Herzen and his peers." "And now Neverovs!" " They can't all be got rid off." "There will always be left enough to continue the breed" "No!" "No, there won't!" "Only if we show any pity to them." "Give me a cigarette!" "It is not good for you, Anatoliy." "Calm down." "Oh, leave me alone!" "What we've been doing is not the thing at all." "Not to argue..." "Not to argue, but for all to unite, and destroy them!" " But they are also human beings." "No!" "They are not human!" "They who can do what they are doing!" "They are not human!" "They are not!" "It's not a surprise." "To Markelov's!" "Quickly, bring a coat!" "Quickly, bring a coat!" "Could you listen to me now?" " Yes, of course." "He's subsided." " Huh?" "He shouldn't be like this." "How can one talk here?" "Come here." "There is one tiny room." "She has got a headache." "She's asleep and cannot hear you, and I'll go away." "I have no secrets from any one, certainly none from you." "Sit down." "Well, then, this is my business..." "Knowing of your relations to Katerina Maslova," "I consider myself bound to explain to you my relations to her." "What do you mean?" "I mean that I should like to marry Katerina Maslova and decided to ask her about it." "To ask her to be my wife." "What can I do?" "It depends on her." " Yes, but... she will not come to any decision without you." "As far as I am concerned, it is finally settled." "All I can say to you is... that I am not free, but she is." "Very well, then, I'll tell her." "Just..." "Don't think that I'm in love with her." "I love her as a unique, beautiful, human being who has suffered much." "I want nothing from her." "I have only an awful longing to help her." "To facilitate her position." "If she doesn't want to accept your help, let her accept mine." "What can I say?" "I'm glad that she has found such a protector, as you." "That's just what I wanted to know." "I wanted to know if, loving her and wishing her happiness, you would consider it good for her to marry me." "Oh, yes." "So I shall tell her." "Who would imagine this?" "He's in love, quite in love." "That's a thing I never should have expected, that Vladimir Simonson should be in love, and in the silliest, most boyish manner." "It's amazing." "and to tell the truth, distressing." "But she?" "Katya?" "What do you think..." "How does she look at it?" "She?" "She loves you." "Really loves you." "And is happy to be able to do you even the negative good, of not letting you get entangled with her." "Marriage with you would be a terrible fall for her, worse than all that's past, and therefore she will never consent to it." "And yet your presence troubles her." "Ought I to vanish?" " Yes, partly." "I think you should tell her." "It is always best that everything is clear." "Have a talk with her." "I'll call her." "Do you agree?" "If you please." "Vera Efremovna has sent me." " Yes, I must have a talk with you." "Let's sit down." "Vladimir Ivanovich spoke to me." "What did he tell you?" "He said he wanted to marry you." "Oh, what's that?" "Why?" "You have to decide." "What am I to decide?" "Everything has long been decided." "No, you must decide, whether you will accept the offer from Vladimir Ivanovich." "What sort of a wife can I be..." "I, a convict?" "Why should I ruin Vladimir Ivanovich, too." "But if the sentence should be mitigated?" "Oh, leave me alone." "I have nothing more to say." "Hello!" " Hello!" "You know that a mitigation has come?" "Yes, the officer told me." "Thank you." "So, as soon as the document arrives, you may come away free." "Settle where you like." "We shall consider..." "What have I to consider?" "Where Vladimir Ivanovich goes, there I shall follow." "Come on, sir." "Come on!" "Come on, sir!" "Well..." "Well, Dmitry Ivanovich, you see he wishes me to live with him." "He wishes me to be near him." "What more can I desire?" "I must look upon it as happiness." "What else is there for me?" "Well, if you love him..." "Loving or not loving, what does it matter?" "I have given up all that." "And he is quite an exceptional man." "Yes, of course." "He is a splendid man." "And I think that..." "No, Dmitry Ivanovich, you must forgive me if I am not doing what you wish." "Yes, it evidently must be so." "You must live, too." "I did not expect this." "Why should you live here and suffer?" "You have suffered enough." " I have not suffered." "I've become a different person, Katyusha." "I should like to go on serving you, if I could." "We don't need anything." "You have done so much for me as it is." "If it had not been for you..." "You certainly have no reason to thank me." "Where is the use of our reckoning?" "God will make up our accounts." "What a good woman you are!" "I good?" "Forgive me." " Good-bye." "English subtitles made for KG by Quigley (2016)" "THE END"
