The Murderer Dimitri Karamasoff
Don't worry, Katja. The old man will surely give me the 3.000 roubles.
I'll go to him and tell him, let me have the 3.000, I'm going to be married.
I'm going to marry my Katja and then I'll go to the colonel
and I'll tell him: here it is, here's the deposit.
You'll see, it's very easy.
What if your father doesn't give you the 3.000 roubles?
How could he refuse? It's a legacy from my mother.
I want to believe that all goes well.
- All will be well, Katja. - I beg you, Mitja.
3 roubles. The gentleman didn't pay.
Smerdjakoff, be quick, it's Gruschenka.
Hello Smerdjakoff.
You didn't expect me, eh?
Well, how are you?
Where's the old man? I have to speak to him.
Your father?
Father, surprise visit, isn't it?
I've come to receive some money and your blessings.
Tomorrow. I don't have time now.
What's the matter?
Your father expects...
Ivan?
What's the matter? Why doesn't the old man want to see me?
Tell me, Ivan, what's happening here?
The senile Salomon expects his Sulamith.
A Romeo aged 65.
In a word... the old man's in love again.
I don't believe it!
Love is stronger than death.
Especially the love of a Karamasoff.
What am I to do?
I need the deposit of 3.000 roubles,
and I have to get back to the regiment tomorrow.
Smerdjakoff, do you think the old man will give the money?
He's become his confidant, you know.
The old gentleman will be needing the money for himself now.
He wants to get married, he's very much in love.
Get lost!
You fool.
Who is she?
Une personne qui s'appelle Gruschenka.
One of those local lose women. A whore.
He wants to marry HER?
If she deigns to marry him, she'll soon be our dear mama.
For weeks he's been waiting for her every night.
I want to speak to him.
But I told you I don't have time now.
It's a legacy passed on to me by my mother.
Wouldn't it be better if you tried to calm these gentlemen?
...I want to marry her!
Or don't you think it necessary?
- She's a slut. - Get out!
I won't allow it that you make a fool of yourself!
You're not going to marry her!
And now I'll talk to her myself. Right now.
I have to talk to her. Ask her once more.
- But the mistress... - Go, I tell you.
Gruschenka, hurry up. We'll be late.
Coming.
The carriage is waiting, Gruschenka.
My coat.
Mr. Karamasoff refuses to leave.
Tell him I have to go out. I'm about to leave.
The carriage is waiting.
But I told him so.
The nerve!
But what does that man want?
I would like to speak with you alone.
Let's go, children.
- Visit me tomorrow about noon. - That's impossible.
I'm leaving in the morning. I must speak with you tonight.
And I have to go now.
But you'll return home later tonight, I'm sure.
Maybe.
Probably.
- If you want to wait that long... - Alright, I'll wait.
Fenja, take his coat.
Mr. Karamasoff will wait.
Would you like to have some tea?
Also an officer.
First he turned her head...
and then... He didn't marry her.
We haven't heard of him for three years.
Now he writes again
'My sweet Gruschenka...' Because we're rich at the moment.
And again she believes him.
So? What do you want of me?
I have come here to ask something of you.
Aren't you ashamed to drive an old man that crazy?
You, a 20 year old woman!
19.
The old man has completely lost his mind.
One can't talk sense with him any more.
So I have to ask of you...
that you definitely promise me to end the affair.
Make up your mind! One way or another...
I have to know.
- Why do you laugh? - The scarf.
Careful. You are tearing it.
Give it to me.
So will you tell the old man tonight that it's over?
The scarf cost me 100 roubles.
To hell with the scarf!
Answer my question.
Real lace. 100 roubles.
Here you are. 100 roubles. And to hell with the...
Don't you touch the picture!
- 'To my dear Mitenka...' - Give me the picture.
She calls you Mitenka?
- From his Katja. - Come on.
Your fiancee?
Give me the picture.
Give me the picture. Will you give me the picture?!
Give me the picture.
- Will you give me the picture? - No.
So it's money you want. Here you are, as much as you want.
'...are weeks of madness. He's lost his sense of decency and honour.
He's drinking and idling all the time. That woman has driven him crazy.
If you want to save him come here at once.
Otherwise there'll be a catastrophe.
In his madness he threatens to kill me.
Your obedient servant, the unhappy father F. Karamasoff.
P.S. I am certain that your beauty will be victorious.'
You're a cold person, Ivan. You only live by reason.
But one cannot understand this with reason alone.
I went to Gruschenka... and I was lost at once.
I stayed with her.
And now all's gone to the devil.
Katja, the duty,
and the hounour.
Yes, if you think so, the honour too.
I'm sure she'll come tonight.
She won't resist this.
She forced me to dig deep into my pocket.
A fortune.
For so much money one could... one could even commit a sin.
Under the pillow.
You're to tell her the money awaits her under the pillow.
Under the pillow, you're to tell her that.
Don't you want to hide it behind the icons?
It'll be safer.
It's safer with the Lord, isn't it?
And tell her she's to beware of Dimitri.
She's to enter through the garden and she's to knock at the window.
Like this.
Gruschenka has been ruined by men like our father.
One should beat those devils to death.
- Even the father? - Yes.
Even the father.
He'll kill his old man one of these clays.
That's his affair.
I'll go to her and ask her: Yes or no?
Open up!
I won't go away until you open the door.
I must speak to you at once.
I'll break in the door if you don't open.
So it's over?
You've had your fun with me
and now adieu, is that what you think?
Au revoir, M. Karamasoff.
Why don't you answer?
Gruschenka, yes or no?
'If you like, come to Mokroje. I'll be expecting you.
With burning adoration, your Pavlik.'
...or have you found another man?
How much does he pay you, the new one?
10 roubles? A decent price. On the street, one only pays 3.
For 10 roubles even I could be accepted.
Agreed?
Listen. 10 roubles.
Let me in!
I'll pay in advance!
Or have you come to an understanding with my father?
Of course I couldn't compete with him.
That's above my means.
How could I? Poor officer that I am.
Why do you let me whimper like a dog in front of your door?
I'll tell you again, Mitja.
Wait only one day more. I have something to attend to.
Just one day.
Maybe I'll say yes to you then.
Or maybe you'll say no, won't you?
And maybe, Mitja, maybe I'll say no.
You've decided to go to my father. You...
Maybe.
Or maybe to another one.
You whore.
Out!
You've come to fetch her.
He wants to have a definite answer tonight.
You'll tell me what her answer is.
You'll tell me!
I'll let you know.
You...
You'll come to me at once. I'll be expecting you.
Mr. Karamasoff, a lady is expecting you.
In your room.
Gruschenka.
Gruschenka.
Gruschenka!
I've got the deposit money, here it is.
Now you can do what you want.
You can come with me to Moscow,
or you can stay here.
Katja.
I'll go with you.
I'll go with you, wait for me.
My train leaves at 10 p.m.
If you want to come with me...
I'll wait for you at the station.
Write out my bill. I'm going to Moscow.
Come in.
Out the bill on the table. I'll send the money.
Now I don't have any money.
If you allow me... I have a message for you.
You?
You've ordered me to come here.
But I beg of you...
Did she agree to go to him?
- Did she say so? - Please let me go.
Are you going to her?
Out I see you were going to pack and leave.
If I may give you an advice...
Answer me, you bastard.
She'll come.
Tonight she'll go to him.
He even set money aside for her.
- In an envelope under his pillow. - Under the pillow?
Yes, under the pillow.
He even thought of a sign.
She's to knock on the window.
Then he'll open.
She mustn't go to him.
Give her that.
Wait.
'Gruschenka, you've tortured me. Life has become a nightmare.
I'll kill everyone who will come between us.
If you go to my father, I'll kill him. I'll kill him tonight.'
Quick.
If I may permit myself... to make a suggestion...
If I haven't come back till 10 p.m.,
your money wouldn't have served its purpose.
10 p.m.
It's a good thing you're going away.
You're a clever person.
Why?
I have a premonition.
Gruschenka will come tonight.
And you know your brother.
But you'll be there to keep watch.
You know, I'm a sick man, an epileptic.
I might have an attack any moment.
And you think that just tonight you'll have an attack?
You can all go to the devil!
Did she really tell you that?
That's exactly what she said: I'll come at 10 p.m. sharp.
- Did she really say 10 p.m.? - 10 p.m.
Close the shutters tight.
What a you standing there like a fool?
Fetch champagne, wine, caviar, sweets! Run along, you fool!
No one must know about it.
No one must know. Especially Mitja mustn't know.
I wonder if he'll get over it at all?
He will, it isn't his first attack.
Gruschenka, is it you?
Where are you?
Come here, my dear.
Where is she? Tell me where she is!
Not at home.
Tell me where she is!
In Morkoje... With the gypsies.
Whom did she go with?
Why?
She went to her first lover,
to the Polish lover I told you about.
What about me?
Blood.
Good heavens. What have you done?
What I have done...
I'll answer for it.
Don't go there!
'To my little angel Gruschenka
if she wants to visit me. And to my little chicken.'
<i>Man woman woman man, the fairy tale is all done.</i>
<i>Man woman woman man, the fairy tale is all done.</i>
How comic she is, why is she childless?
Shes so nice and plumb, I don't understand whats going on.
Don't cry, don't regret, if one man is of no use,
<i>I'll get you a new one, and the think is fixed.</i>
So, you've forgiven me.
Yes.
Yes, I forgive you everything.
How generous.
And that you have seduced me three years ago
and then threw me out into the streets.
You'll forgive me that too?
I'm not vindictive.
All shall be forgotten.
All shall be forgotten? You don't say.
Also that you turned me into a whore?
All that's forgotten?
What a noble gentleman you have become.
And all this because you think that you'll get my money.
You?
So you too have come to forgive me?
Oh no.
I've come... to beg your forgiveness.
Really? I am glad.
- You're glad? - Glad.
- Glad.
Now Karamasoff will give a party.
Wine!
Music!
You're all invited.
Gruschenka!
Here's 1.000. Take it and get lost.
What is that? You're offering me money?
- 1.000? - That's right, 1.000.
Take them and go to the devil, do you hear?
2.000.
- Chase him away. - Shut up.
Champagne!
Mitja, I am so tired.
Sleep.
Gruschenka.
I'd give my life for one year with you.
It's beautiful to live in this world.
Gruschenka...
If only there weren't that blood...
What blood?
Tell me,
what are you talking about blood?
Gruschenka...
First lieutenant Karamasoff, you are under arrest.
I see.
The old man's blood.
- I am guilty. - First lieutenant Karamasoff,
you are accused of the murder of your father Fjodor Karamasoff,
who has been beaten to death tonight.
The old man is dead?
What are you saying? The old man is dead?
He's dead?
The old man is dead.
Milja!
I've killed Grigori.
But I am innocent of my father's blood.
You don't have to worry about the old servant Grigori,
he's only slightly injured.
But it was him who accused you of murdering your father.
He's alive?
Gruschenka!
I am no murderer.
Mitja! I believe you, Mitja.
This is Gruschenka.
Take that woman away.
I plead guilty of drunkenness,
debauchery,
and of violence.
But I am innocent of the death and robbery of my old father.
For three days you keep on claiming that
but this doesn't advance the case.
The court needs evidence
and the evidence is against you.
Do you imagine I'd try to conceal such a thing?
If I had killed my father?
It's true...
I wanted to kill him.
I wanted to kill him.
But...
Perhaps in that very minute someone on this earth had been crying for me,
or maybe my deceased mother had been standing beside me,
I don't know.
But the devil inside me had been vanquished.
Is that all you have to say as your last word?
Yes.
That's all.
Gentlemen of the jury.
You have a heavy duty to perform.
I have point out to you this great responsibility.
You'll have to weigh all the witnesses' statements and all the evidence
in favour and against the accused in all its entirety.
The criminal court
is a law court of conscience.
And now it's up to you, gentlemen of the jury,
to come to a decision according to your best conscience.
- How long do you think they'll deliberate? - Not too long I hope.
Gentlemen, there isn't really much to consider.
You killed the old man, you're the murderer!
Didn't you know that?
We both are the murderers, you and I.
In my opinion everything's clear.
Nothing is clear.
The servant Smerdjakoff's part hasn't been examined sufficiently.
But it was proven that at the time of the crime,
Smerdjakoff lay unconscious having an epileptic attack.
Maybe he only simulated the attack to have an alibi?
But we cannot possibly neglect the experts' statements.
It has been proven that Smerdjakoff
suffers from the effects of the attack even today.
The doctors even fear for his sanity.
That's why I told you that evening,
shortly before the murder that I had a premonition.
And you left all the same.
You've understood me very well that night,
you are such an intelligent person.
Or did you imagine that your brother would kill the old man?
I thought so too.
But he didn't kill him.
That was the only mistake in my calculation.
Whatever happens...
I'll always be with you.
In order to divert the suspicion away from me
I simulated an attack.
At about 10 p.m. I heard Grigori cry out in the garden.
I carefully went into the old man's room,
he stood near the window.
I had to kill him myself.
Why did you kill him?
Because of the money in the envelope.
I wanted to travel to France.
Afterwards I had a real attack.
And the gentleman at court tire their brains out for weeks.
An infinite number of witnesses give statements
and accuses my brother.
And the public prosecutor manages to prove my brother's guilt by evidence.
Get up!
You'll come to court with me and confess everything.
Where's the money you've robbed?
You want to save your brother?
Here it is.
The members of the jury
who are convinced of Dimitri Karamaoff's guilt
of his father's murder, shall lift their right hand.
But gentleman, you are condemning an innocent man!
Arise for the court.
Smerdjakoff has confessed everything,
he's the murderer!
He's confessed everything to me.
Smerdjakoff has murdered and robbed.
Here's the money Smerdjakoff has robbed.
Mitja, you are free!
Order or I'll have the court cleared!
What do you wish?
Smerdjakoff is here,
he'll repeat his confession in court.
We both are guilty.
Bring in Smerdjakoff.
The witness Smerdjakoff can no longer give his statement.
He has just hanged himself in the court building.
But he gave me the evidence, the money he robbed.
There is no money.
There's a letter.
'My Gruschenka, you've tortured me...
I'll kill everybody...'
Here's your name, did you write that letter?
Yes, it's my letter. I wrote it that night.
The night you killed your father.
I haven't killed him!
But you write:
'If you go to my father tonight, I'll kill him.
I'll kill him tonight'.
10 years Siberia.
Do you know what you're doing?
Yes I do, Mitja.
There are people living too in Siberia.
