Will I be scared?
Catherine Ivanovna didn't come today, eh?
She must be broke. Her husband's drinking again.
You go and collect the interest today.
If she doesn't pay up, I'll sell her pledge.
It's her last jewel, Aliona. Maybe you --
Nothing at all!
I won't be robbed by those scum!
If she can't pay, take another pledge.
She has nothing left.
What about her shawl?
"I wore it to the Governor's Ball."
I never went to the Governor's Ball.
But I have money to lend to the likes of her.
Get going!
Give her 3 rubles for the shawl.
And don't forget the 3 kopecks.
Pardon me, Elizabeth Ivanovna, is your sister in?
You know she never goes out.
Yes, of course. Excuse me.
Raskolnikov. Student.
You know me, I came before.
Oh, yes. You were here last month.
And I'm back for the same reason.
There were still 3 rubles in the drawer.
You drank them all up!
Look at your children -- starving to death!
- Lizaveta. - Sonia.
Catherine Ivanovna, Aliona wants me to collect what you owe her.
Ask him where the money is.
Aliona's rich enough to wait a bit...
It's impossible.
But she'll take your shawl as pledge.
My shawl? Will you repeat that?
It's not Lizaveta's fault.
The shawl I wore when my father was court councillor...
and would take me to the Governor's Ball.
I am a drunkard's wife.
Your sister can die first.
Go away!
You're unjust to Lizaveta.
Shut up! Good-for-nothing!
You know what Pavlovna earns?
Do you really want me to do a thing like that?
Some treasure!
What are you saving it for?
But these are worthless.
I gave you 2 rubles for your ring last time.
I could have bought one new for less.
Then give me 4 rubles. It's my father's watch.
Of course, I'll want to redeem it.
Don't worry, you'll get your interest.
A ruble and a half, interest in advance.
A ruble and a half?
Take it or leave it!
Give it here.
For the watch.
Wait here.
10 kopecks a month to the ruble,
deducting 15 for a month in advance.
20 kopecks for the 2 rubles already on account...
that comes to 35.
That gives you 1 ruble 35 for the watch.
That's all?
I may bring something else, Aliona Ivanovna.
A nice silver cigarette case.
We'll see about that when you come.
You must admit Aliona is a real swine.
Doing away with a creature like her
would be ridding the world of something monstrous and evil.
Then why don't you do her in yourself?
Why? Because I'm yellow. And in all fairness --
When fairness backs down, there's neither fairness nor justice.
Lend me five rubles.
You're crazy. You know I haven't got them.
Good thing I took out a loan with our dear Aliona then.
Lizaveta is coming by tomorrow at 6.
I'm hocking my suit for the five rubles your gab couldn't provide.
It's your play.
Good thing I took out a loan with our dear Aliona.
Lizaveta is coming by tomorrow at 6...
I'm hocking my suit for five rubles...
Why are you lying around
when you should be finding work to pay your back rent?
Are you sick?
Want some tea? Aren't you eating, at least?
Yes, yes, later. Go away!
Greetings, Aliona Ivanovna.
What do you want?
I brought something.
Let's go to the window.
Who are you?
Don't you recognize me?
This is the pledge I promised.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Take it or I'll go elsewhere. I've no time to lose.
Don't get angry, my friend. What is it?
A silver cigarette case.
You're trembling! Are you sick?
When you have nothing to eat...
It doesn't seem like silver.
It's tied so tightly.
Why wrap it like that?
Old bitches sleep tight!
There must be somebody.
The devil knows! I almost broke the lock!
But the old woman never goes out.
See how the door moves when you push?
It's only bolted, not locked. Understand?
You have to be inside to bolt it.
They must be home, but won't open.
That's true.
There's something odd here.
I'll get the janitor. Wait for me.
Let's call it a day, Nicolas. Your turn for drinks.
My turn?
Naturally. Don't be a slouch!
Well, who cares?
It's bolted on the inside.
Why don't they answer?
I was tired of waiting for you.
I had to go looking for the janitor.
What's all this -- the door is open!
Well, I never!
What's this?
A summons, from the station.
What station?
The police.
Police? What about? What did I do?
Just go.
What is it?
I've been...summoned.
It's about your rent.
What rent?
The three months you owe your landlady.
What time were you called for?
You're more than an hour late.
It's enough that I came. I'm sick with fever.
Don't shout!
I'm not shouting!
I won't stand for this.
Enough of your rude talk, mister.
And you're being rude to everybody by smoking!
None of your business. Just make your declaration!
If there's one more scandal in your respectable house
I'll personally throw you in the clink.
More thunder and lightning, lieutenant?
I heard you on the stairs.
Are the two men here?
Yes, sir. They swear Aliona's door was bolted.
But when they returned with the janitor it was open.
Nulko is guilty. It's an open and shut case.
You don't beat around the bush, do you?
"I promise to pay up later."
Sorry to contradict you
but neither Koch nor Pestriakov is guilty.
"I won't leave town or sell anything."
Who is it then?
I don't know. I'm not a sorceror.
Is he sick?
He could hardly hold his pen.
Who is that young man?
He was summoned about a debt.
He's a student. sir.
Have you been ill long?
Since yesterday.
Did you go out last night? - Yes.
- Were you sick? - Yes.
At what time?
At eight.
To go where?
Walking.
Now there's courage.
You can go.
-
Is your student better?
Yes. He left.
Bring in Koch.
-
We're agreed about your statement.
The door was open when you came back up.
The janitor confirmed that point.
But I have no proof
about the door being bolted just five minutes earlier.
Pestriakov was there. He tried the door.
Fine. But supposing he was your accomplice
and the door had never been bolted.
What do you think?
Weakness from lack of food.
He hardly eats anything.
No surprise about his nerves then.
Coming to, brother?
.
What are you doing here?
Looking after you. You've been delirious for four days.
Don't worry, it's not serious.
Recognize Zosimov, our faculty star?
I'm not sick.
You've been delirious for four days.
Hey, you don't know:
A money order for 30 rubles arrived.
Understand?
Your mother sent you 30 rubles.
The postman comes one day and life is beautiful!
We'll buy some chicken. You've become somebody.
Aliona can go to hell now.
That was clever -- I forgot she was dead!
Have they released the two merchants yet?
Soon. But will you get that chicken!?
How do you know that?
My cousin Porfiry's in charge of the inquiry.
Who is Porfiry?
The court inspector.
You wouldn't have heard.
While you were ill
somebody murdered Aliona and Lizaveta.
Lizaveta?
You knew her.
Go on, eat, eat!
It was surely one of her clients.
No doubt about it.
Porfiry will be questioning the others.
The others?
Eat! Eat!
Leave him alone.
We'll give him some chicken.
The murderer was a fool not to take the 15,000 rubles in the drawer.
The idiot!
I'm taking 15 rubles from your mother's money order.
I'll be back in an hour
to show you how I've spent them.
You've got a surprise coming.
Where did you find these earrings?
On the sidewalk... I didn't steal them, sir.
Careful, Nicolas, if you're lying...
Now tell the truth: where did you find them?
Behind the door, sir.
You see! Which door?
In the apartment we were painting.
I forgot my cap.
So you went back upstairs to get it.
I found them on the floor as I was leaving.
I pocketed them and pawned them with Doukine.
I know it was wrong, but let me explain.
Dmitry had just flipped paint in my face with his brush.
Such a devil!
Always good for a laugh.
While you were carrying on, you didn't see anyone on the stairs?
Somebody might have passed, but we didn't notice.
You didn't hear any noise?
Nothing.
You know Aliona and Lizaveta
were murdered and robbed that day and hour.
I found out the next day.
Why did you go into hiding then?
I was scared.
And why try to hang yourself?
Because?
I didn't want to be tried.
He found the earrings as he said.
But he lied the first time.
No matter. He did find them behind the door
where he was working just before.
But the apartment was empty while he was out drinking.
There's something odd here.
Rodion Raskolnikov?
That's me.
What do you want?
I am Peter Petrovich Luzhin -- your sister's fiance.
Your mother wrote to you about my coming.
Yes, she did.
You look ill.
I would have come tomorrow had I known.
But I have good news.
Your family will be arriving shortly.
And I've already found them temporary lodging.
Know the Bakaleyev house, Ascension Street?
Yes, it's a real slum, but cheap.
I didn't know, of course. I'm a newcomer in town.
You might have inquired.
True. But we businessmen find little time for ourselves.
And Mr. Businessman also finds poor girls make the best wives --
all gratitude and devotion!
You dared say that to my sister!
Never will I consent to this marriage!
My words have been distorted! I never said that!
Your mother misunderstood me...
Her behavior has been...
Another word about my mother and I'll kick you down the stairs!
I see you're better.
Who's this?
The fiance.
I'd like you to be a witness, sir.
I came here with the best intentions.
And I am received so boorishly.
Excuse me. Here's where your 15 rubles went.
I didn't spend it all. Try on this cap.
Later, later!
Your sister asked me to see you.
I've been insulted, though I realize you're sick.
I'm not sick, I'm perfectly lucid! Now get out!
I won't keep you.
Some way to celebrate an engagement.
He must have found you impulsive.
How do you like the boots?
I took your shoe along for the size.
Leave me alone! When will I have some peace?
I'm not scared of you or anybody!
Get out and leave me alone, alone!
I understand how you feel.
Just remember I'm your friend. I'm going.
Waiter -- some tea
and the newspapers for the past five days. You'll get a nice tip.
You here?
Razumikhin told me yesterday you were still unconscious.
You're a strange one. You're probably still sick.
You shouldn't go out.
So I seem strange.
Reading the papers, I see.
Yes, I am.
The usual thefts, fires and accidents.
Let's not forget the crimes...crimes!
You're dying to know what I'm reading.
Not at all. I just asked like that.
Cigarette?
Why are you...?
I bet you're still delirious.
Nonsense, cock robin.
So I seem strange.
I'm curious, am I?
If you insist.
So you're dying to know what I'm reading.
Look at all these papers.
Suspicious, isn't it?
What do you mean?
May I say --
No: may I confess --
That's not it either.
Take down my statement --
That's the term.
I was curious to read about the murder of Aliona
and was amazed that the killer hadn't been caught.
We'll get him.
You will? Then I feel better.
Looking for some wretch who's suddenly gone on a spending spree.
They all act alike.
They're very clever at killing
but then get nabbed in some tavern. Why?
Because they're mostly hoodlums.
They're not all as smart as you.
You, for example, wouldn't go to some tavern.
Suppose I killed Aliona and Lizaveta?
You're crazy!
You believed me!
No, but you scared me to lead me up to it.
So you don't believe me?
What did you talk about at the police station the other day?
Your Lieutenant Gunpowder questioned me after I fainted.
Tell me!
30 kopecks.
Here, and here's a 20-kopeck tip.
15 rubles.
Where from?
And my suit? Where from?
You know I was broke.
You must have questioned my landlady.
Enough talk! Goodbye.
What are you looking for?
An apartment....
I came to see this one.
But you don't look at night.
And why isn't the porter here then?
The floor's washed?
Will they re-paint? No more blood?
What blood?
From the murder. There was a pool of blood.
Who are you?
- Me? - Yes.
You want to know?
I'll tell you at the police station.
Come on!
Don't want to?
As you wish.
My God, somebody help me!
Anybody know him?
He's a drunkard. God's punished him.
Help me!
He lives nearby.
Not the hospital. I want to die at home.
-
He was run down. He's drunk.
Get a doctor. I'll pay.
It had to happen.
Don't worry, a doctor's coming.
Some water and a towel. Quick!
Go tell Sonia your father has been run down.
I'm a councillor...
and a bastard!
Yes, sir -- a bastard.
Let him die in peace. This isn't a spectacle.
And smoking too! Out with you all!
...My wife is a great lady.
She danced in her shawl
before the Governor and all the dignitaries.
She won a gold medallion.
I sold it for liquor.
Sold lots of other things.
Sonia, Mama says to come quickly. Papa's been run over!
What do you think, doctor?
It's hopeless.
...She put 30 rubles on the table
and threw herself on her bed in tears.
I saw my wife approach
the bed of my little Sonia
and kneel at her feet.
I was flat on my back, completely soused.
And since then my daughter has been a prostitute
and won't live here anymore.
That's what I've brought about.
I went to see her today
to ask for money to get drunk with.
Look me in the face
and dare tell me I'm not a bastard.
He'll have pity on us.
He is the Judge.
He'll say to us: "Where is the girl?
"I had pity on her drunken father."
And He'll forgive my Sonia.
He'll forgive us all...
He'll say:
"Though you are like swine,
"you will come to me."
And we will throw ourselves
into his open arms.
Come here, Polia.
It's over for him.
But how will we live now?
How will I bury him?
He drank up our last penny.
Let me contribute...
Here are 15 rubles.
What's your name? Where do you live?
-
My sister Sonia sent me.
- You love your big sister Sonia? - Yes.
And will you love me too?
Yes.
Can you pray?
Little Polia...
I'm Rodia.
Pray for me sometimes.
Just say: "for poor Rodia."
I'll pray for you all my life.
I left you sick yesterday and now...
Listen! I was helping some fellow who got run over.
He died, so I gave all my money to his wife.
Her daughter, Sonia, came.
But why get drunk with Zamiatov?
You saw him?
You must have been delirious to spout those idiocies!
What did he say?
Nothing, but you shouldn't talk to him.
I want to go home, home.
Listen...
Hear that noise in my room? Strange.
It's Nastasia.
No, not at this hour.
Ah, what of it. Goodbye.
But I'm coming up with you.
But I want to shake your hand here.
Farewell.
What's the matter?
Oh, come up then. You'll be witness.
It's just a fainting spell.
But he's been recovering.
Water, quick!
Don't bother, mama.
So you faint like a young girl.
My dear child, I won't leave you for anything in the world.
No, no. I'm not sick.
You couldn't understand.
Enough! Just go away!
Can't I look at my son
after three years of separation?
Enough, enough!
Go away!
Let's go, mama.
Wait a minute.
Did you see Luzhin?
Yes. And we know.
He told you I threatened him?
I wouldn't believe him, would I, Dunia?
It's true. He threw him out.
I won't allow this marriage, Dunia.
You'll break it off tomorrow, once and for all.
Think about what you're saying.
You're sick.
I'm delirious, right? No, I'm not.
You're marrying him for my sake.
But you can't possibly love him.
I won't accept such a horrible sacrifice!
Ah, it's you!
Excuse me for disturbing you...
Catherine Ivanovna sent me
to thank you for your help
and to invite you to the funeral tomorrow
and to come to the house afterwards.
Yes, I'll certainly try.
I'll tell her you'll come?
Yes, yes... No... Won't you sit down?
Thank you. But I can't.
I gave your money away.
I know I had no right
and that it was a great sacrifice for you.
I'm sure you did what was best.
Best?
-
Why don't you say something?
My poor child!
Ah, no!
Let's go, mama.
I'll go with you, ma'am.
Goodbye, Rodia, I mean, until soon.
I don't like saying goodbye to you.
Razumikhin!
I want a word with you.
-
You know what's-his-name?
Porfiry?
Yes, he's my cousin.
You know this murder case ...the old lady...
He's in charge of the case, right? - Yes.
He's questioning all her clients? - Yes.
Well...I pawned some things.
Trifles...but they have sentimental value...
So if I could only...
I didn't know that. Well!
When did you last see her?
I was there two days before her death.
Porfiry can fix it. We'll see him tomorrow.
...
A real spring rose...
But you look fine...a big Romeo...
Gentlemen, don't destroy the government furniture.
Excuse me, sir.
No harm done.
-
He's annoyed because I called him Romeo.
My friend Raskolnikov has some business to settle with you.
Ah, Zamiatov. You're here.
I'm listening, sir.
I pawned some items with Aliona Ivanovna.
What are the formalities for recovering them?
You make a statement to the police
saying you heard of the murder
and listing the items
you want back.
I'm not very rich, you see...
But I want to make sure
I can redeem them later.
Nothing easier.
You can even write to me directly about it.
Do I need official paper?
Any old paper will do.
The items aren't valuable, but I'm attached to them.
Don't worry, they're not lost.
Besides, I've been expecting you
for quite a while.
You were expecting him?
You knew he'd pawned things?
The pledges are all tagged with names and dates.
You pawned a ring exactly three weeks ago.
Strange that you should remember that.
You're the last client to make a claim.
I know all the others.
I haven't been well.
Yes. I remember your fainting at the station.
You're pale.
Have a little tea.
I've no reason to look pale.
The heat got to me that other day.
But I'm fine now.
Fine, he says!
He was hardly in his right mind yesterday.
Which didn't stop him from roaming about town
all night long in a delirium.
Nonsense!
Can you roam about town in a delirium?
Don't believe a word of it.
You don't believe that?
Then why would you have gone out otherwise?
And why sneak out like that?
I got so fed up with him I left
to rent another apartment.
Naturally, I took all my money with me.
Mr. Zamiatov surely mentioned that in his report.
Mr. Zamiatov, was I in my right mind or not last night?
You spoke quite sensibly... and even quite well.
Sorry to waste your time with such nonsense.
On the contrary! It all comes together.
Say, what's gotten into you?
You interest me greatly -- Bring some tea.
You're no stranger to me.
I was fascinated by that article you wrote recently.
I think it was called "On Criminals."
Yes...the only article I ever wrote, in fact...
Didn't know it was published.
It was quite daring...
Especially your suggestion that certain kinds of people
have the right to suppress, even by murder...
any obstacle to their will.
It only refers to exceptional people, of course...
chosen to fulfill a glorious destiny.
That's basically what I meant. But it's nothing new.
Amusing. But what a shame
these exceptional people are hard to recognize.
They'd need a uniform.
It'd make things easier for the court inspector, right?
Though, even if he recognized them,
he would still have to lock them up.
Would serve them right!
You're so logical.
But...what about conscience?
It has no legal role.
It's no business of the court inspector.
Only of someone who bothers about conscience.
If he has one.
In which case, he'll suffer for his crime...
That would be his punishment, not counting prison.
Not counting prison, ah!
Say, can't you change the subject?
You're annoying him.
Not at all.
I don't want you to have a bad impression of our first meeting.
We'll meet again certainly...
Surely about your claim.
Just come by some day.
I've seen all the pawnbroker's clients
and managed to pick up some clues.
You're the last one, right?
Do you intend to cross-examine me?
Ah, I remember now.
On your last visit to Aliona...
on your way upstairs, about 8:00...
did you notice two workmen
on the second floor
painting an apartment?
It's important...for them.
Painters? No, I didn't see anybody.
I don't remember any open apartment.
There were people moving on Aliona's landing.
But no, no, I don't remember any workmen.
And there wasn't an open apartment.
What's the matter with you?
The painters were there the day of the murder.
He was there two days before.
Ah, this case has got me all mixed up!
I was so obsessed about the two workmen
being there about 8:00, I just got muddled.
Another mix-up like that and I'll bust your nose, cousin.
You didn't want my brother present.
But I begged him to come.
If he insulted you, he will apologize.
Some insults cannot be erased.
If you love me, you must settle this now.
You do insist! I can love and esteem you
and still not like a member of your family.
Then I'll have to choose between you and him.
It hurts me to be put on the same level as he.
You're going back on your word.
And I've incurred numerous expenses.
Aren't you ashamed now, Dunia?
I'm ashamed.
If I leave this room on those words,
I won't be back. Think it over.
I keep my promises.
I don't want you back.
I won't give my daughter to a man like you.
If that's how it is...
I'll look after you, if you allow me.
Going already, Rodia?
At a time like this?
Where are you going? What is it?
I don't think we should see each other
for the time being.
I'm not well.
I'll come back if necessary, or send for you.
I'll be right back.
I knew you'd follow me.
Listen...stay with them.
Tomorrow and always.
Where are you going? How can you act like this?
I have nothing to say. But don't abandon them.
Do you understand now?
-
Here he comes now.
What is it?
Somebody asking about a student.
I think he means you.
You asked for me? What is it?
Murderer.
You're the murderer.
Is that you?
Yes. I've come.
Thank you for coming to the funeral.
You loved your father a lot?
Yes, I did.
It wasn't just pity?
I forgave him because I loved him.
Why don't you sit down?
How pale you are, Sonia.
Your hands are transparent.
I've always been like that.
Even with your family? - Yes.
Did Catherine Ivanovna beat you?
How can you say that?
So you forgive her?
So much grief has disturbed her mind. But how kind and generous she is.
She has consumption. She'll die soon.
It would be the best thing.
God won't allow it!
Maybe He doesn't exist.
Do you pray often?
Where would I be without God?
You go to church?
Yes, to offer prayers.
For whom?
For Father and Lizaveta, Aliona's sister.
You knew her?
Yes, she came by from time to time.
Sonia, I've something to tell you.
I'm not going back to my family. - Why?
I'll tell you later. You're all I have now.
I need you. That's why I came.
Let's go away together.
I don't know where.
But our paths are the same.
I don't understand.
You will.
You ruined your life, like I did.
You'll understand tomorrow.
Tomorrow I'll tell you...
who killed Lizaveta. Goodbye.
You know who killed her?
Yes, and I'll tell only you.
Because I chose you. Don't give me your hand -- goodbye!
So there you are, my good man.
Yes, in answer to your summons.
What summons? Do sit down.
You want to conduct an official interrogation.
There's no hurry...
This is no place to offer you coffee.
My own apartments are next door.
I'm housed by the state.
That's quite something.
What do you think?
Yes, quite something.
All court inspectors use the same method:
At first they speak nonsense
just to distract you...
and pounce on you suddenly with the fatal question.
Don't think all our methods are that childish. Ah, no!
An example that will help you later
if you write another article on criminology.
Suppose I'm handling an investigation
and I think I know the guilty party...
If he's stupid, I nab him right away.
If he's intelligent, I let him run around a while...
He won't think of running away. On the contrary...
He'll move slowly towards me...
A psychological phenomenon!
Like a moth circling around a candle, you see...
My man will come closer, closer... and plop!
I burn him!
Which will be very nice.
You must blunder quite often.
It's the weak point of exceptional people carried away by feelings.
They kill brilliantly, leave no trace...
But at the most banal moment -- they faint.
Blame it on heat or illness...
But there is the fact and witnesses.
That suggests an idea.
A sensitive person may think of many other ways.
I see that you suspect me.
I'm fed up with all this!
Arrest me if you want...
But I won't be mocked and tortured like this!
I won't tolerate it! ...
A little water will do you good.
It's just an attack of nerves.
Ah, these sensitive souls...
Ringing the doorbells of the dead at midnight...
And even asking if there's blood. Delirium?
I've all my wits about me. Perfectly lucid.
If you were accused, I'd plead irresponsibility.
A case of momentary insanity.
But the murderer's art is to stick close to the truth.
Why carry on this farce?
Let's get back to doorbells.
If I'd suspected you in the least,
I wouldn't have mentioned them.
I'm not that stupid.
First I'd have reassured you... Then bang! Right on the head!
But what were you doing there at that hour?
And why ring? Why ask about the blood?
And why then go to the police station?
That's what I would have asked you,
if I'd suspected you.
Do you or do you not suspect me?
You and everybody else. Anybody can kill...you, me...why not?
I said I wouldn't tolerate this.
Be quiet. Good and quiet.
Question me by the rules.
Don't worry about the rules.
I invited you as a friend.
Ah, your friendship!
I'm going.
A little surprise.
There...there.
What is it? Where?
You're lying! You're taunting me
so I'll give myself away.
You already have. And don't shout.
You're lying. You knew I was sick and you tried to provoke me.
You have no proof.
So you found them.
Bring in your police and your witnesses.
I'm ready for them!
What's going on?
It's the accused. There was no stopping him.
What does he want?
I'm guilty... I'm the murderer.
What's that?
Whose murderer?
Aliona and Lizaveta. I killed them with an axe.
You did it? Talk!
I'm the murderer.
How did you do it?
With an axe.
You don't seem sure.
Were you alone?
Excuse me, Rodion Romanovich...
There's no point in your staying now.
You didn't expect that.
Neither did you. Your hand's trembling.
And you're trembling too.
But I didn't expect this either.
What about your little surprise?
You have a sense of irony. But your teeth are chattering.
Goodbye, Rodion Romanovich.
I think "farewell" is better.
As God disposes.
Just one more word.
It will be as God disposes...
Only I'll have to question you again.
So we'll meet again, certainly.
Certainly.
We'll finally get acquainted.
Finally.
I said I'd be back
to tell you who killed Lizaveta.
I've come to tell you now.
How do you know?
I know.
Has he been found?
No, he hasn't.
My God, why?
He didn't want to kill Lizaveta.
Only the old lady...
Only the old lady.
Sonia, look at me...
Look at me, Sonia.
You know?... And you...
No one is more unhappy than you.
You know, and you don't shun me?
I'll follow you anywhere. If I'd only known you before.
Why didn't you come before?
How could you...do it?
To steal.
You were hungry... was it to help your mother?
Yes, I did want to help her.
No, that's not really true.
Please don't torment me!
You killed to steal...
But the money you gave to Catherine Ivanovna?
That was my mother's. As for the other money...
I'm not sure there was any.
But if you didn't take anything...?
You're expecting an explanation and you don't understand.
You're suffering because of me.
I won't forgive myself for coming -- coward!
It's better that I know, much better.
He never went out.
He must be with somebody.
You know -- the young girl who came.
I'll go and see.
I could have continued my studies...
Do translations or tutor like Razumikhin.
But I was wrapped up in these ideas.
I couldn't explain them to you.
You've seen the place I live in...
I spent whole days there, not working...
Not eating... Alone with my ideas.
You don't understand.
Tell me.
I wondered if I was more intelligent than the others
and thought that I had only to dare, to dare...
to transcend prejudice and laws.
I wondered if I could leap the barriers...
If I had the strength and the right...
The right to kill?
It's not that hag I killed -- it's me.
How you're suffering.
What can I do now?
Accept your suffering and redeem yourself by it.
I'll go to prison with you.
Maybe I don't want to go to prison yet.
Is it possible for you to live now?
I'll get used to it. Enough tears!
In fact, they're on my trail.
They don't have any real proof.
But they'll put me in prison.
Will you come to see me?
I will.
Do you have a cross?
Take mine.
No, later.
When the time comes,
I'll put it around your neck.
We'll pray and we'll go.
There you are!
I'm not here to question you.
I don't want to know your secrets.
We couldn't find you and Dunia scolded me.
So I'm scolding you to get it off my chest.
And now you'll get drunk.
True, I'll get drunk.
I know Dunia well enough to see
that she could love you. I know you love her.
Now you know what's to be done... if you need to drink...
You're a great guy. The best.
Whatever happens to me...
You must be Providence!
- You weren't expecting me. - No.
Do sit down, Porfiry Petrovich.
- Cigarette? - No, sir.
Our last meeting was quite strange.
I owe you an explanation.
Your article interested me...
and coincidence mixed you up
in that case of ours.
Remember your first visit...
when I tormented you.
Yes, all those insinuations.
All quite pointless.
The slightest evidence would have served more.
So when I heard about the doorbell business...
what emotion!
And for good reason, you'll agree.
Same with the walk.
What walk?
Your walk.
Walking alongside somebody
who calls you a murderer!
That one-eyed fellow I'd brought in for our last meeting...
He was the surprise... At the right moment: Bang!
But that fool Nicolas ruined it all.
What a turnabout!
And he's innocent on top of it.
We agree on that point.
A nutcase wanting to play the martyr
to redeem the world.
And he'll deny it all later.
The real murderer is another sort...
A theoretician devoid of imagination,
who must demonstrate the stupidity of his ideas.
So who is it?
Who? You!
You're the murderer, Rodion.
Back to the old methods.
I'm not here to arrest you.
I don't care if you confess.
My conviction is firm.
Then arrest me.
I have no evidence.
Nothing concrete, I mean.
So you're free, Rodion.
But I urge you to give yourself up.
You can plead temporary insanity.
I'll see to it that you get a minimum sentence.
How interesting!
Don't be frightened or ashamed
to confess what's eating you.
Fine, fine.
But I haven't confessed.
I know....I know.
We were both waiting for you.
Have you seen Mother?
Did you speak to her?
No, don't cry over me.
I've come for my cross.
You're scared too?
I won't go to Porfiry.
He annoys me.
.
I'll go to the station.
I'll make quite a sensation.
And my cross?
I'll bear my cross.
So I've suffered so little until now.
Why are you crying? Stop it.
I've had enough. What are you doing?
I'll go alone.
I don't need anyone.
You here?
-
Sorry...what's your name?
Of course: Raskolnikov!
-
You're a student, aren't you?
Ah, literature and the arts!
Only nobility comes with birth, the rest from talent.
I buy this hat where I want...
but what's beneath the hat
is what counts in the end.
I'm just babbling. Can I help you?
Is Mr. Zamiatov in?
Zamiatov? He's no longer with us.
He resigned.
I came...
I thought...
I came to see Zamiatov...
It was I...
What's the matter?
It was I who killed the old pawnbroker.
Aliona Ivanovna and her sister Lizaveta.
I killed them and robbed them.
The End
