- Put down your hands. Sorry.

That vote didn't count.

My fault. Sorry.

So... Put your hands down.

So we're voting...

...on whether the defendant is guilty.

A raised hand means guilty.

- Yes, yes.

- Guilty.

I just want to get it right.

Then raise your hand.

Don't you go to meetings?

What? All the time.

Workers of the world...

- Let's vote, come on.

- Yeah.

Why are we voting on "guilty" first?

What's the difference?

No, we can do this however we like.

Does it bother you?

No, I thought it might be a rule.

No, there's no rule about that.

Either way.

- Let's do it this way.

- For whether he's guilty.

OK. So we're voting on

whether the defendant is guilty.

- Yes.

- Hands up, please.

- Unanimous. We're out of here.

- No, wait.

Please. There are rules. Wait

Please take your seats.

Put your hands down.

Now, who thinks the defendant -

we have to follow rules...

...is not guilty, please raise your hand.

That's eleven...

- Here

- Eleven for guilty, one for not guilty.

Whoa!

What did we just vote on?

Did you hear that? Hello!

All that racket distracted the man.

We voted on whether that stinking

Chechen dog is guilty...

...of the murder of his adoptive father,

a Russian army officer.

Didn't understand?

The comrade didn't understand.

Start again.

- So let's vote again.

- No, no, I...

There's no need. I get it now.

I'm against.

Against convicting him.

What do you mean "against"?

You voted "for".

And I voted "against".

Why?

Well, it was eleven "for"...

...and one "against".

But why?

Why what?

Why did you vote that way?

Well, if I'd voted "for"

it would have been twelve "for" and...

...none "against".

And we'd all have gone home.

But that'd be good.

So why'd you vote "against"?

Vote "for" and let's go home.

I... It was too fast, somehow.

It was too fast, you see.

Fast? We listened to that judge talk

for 3 days. You call that fast?

No, well, yes, but...

It scared me.

We just put up our hands and...

...that was it. It was too fast.

Fast is good. It was obvious,

there was proof.

We all heard the witnesses.

We saw the evidence.

Well, yes.

But we're talking about a human being.

And we just put up our hands...

...and that was it.

What exactly do you want?

I want...

...well, to talk, at least.

To talk.

So talk.

"Beyond reasonable doubt. "

Sorry. That's a term

used in American jury trials.

"Beyond reasonable doubt".

It's just that, I studied at Harvard...

...I studied management.

And we had a course in law.

Talking would make sense

if there were reasonable doubt.

Did you hear that? Reasonable doubt.

We don't have any doubts

None. He killed him! It's a fact!

The brutal murder of an ex-officer
