the way you've tied it.

Come on, you old hag.

I need some money tonight.

Nobody home. That's strange!

She never goes out.

Look.

It's latched on the inside.

There must be somebody home.

She couldn't go out

and leave the door latched on the inside.

Something queer about this!

Let's go down and get the porter.

All right, gentlemen. We'll see, we'll see.

The latch was on a moment ago.

Help! Murder! Police! Police!

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Looking for something?

I took some of your old newspapers.

I haven't seen a paper for days.

TO MY SON.

MAY HE WEAR IT IN HONOR.

Company to see you.

I don't want to see anybody.

You've been sleeping with your gloves on.

There's a policeman here for you.

Here he is, Officer.

- Are you the writer, Raskolnikov?

- Yes.

Come with me.

You're wanted at headquarters.

- Why?

- You'll find out when you get there.

Hurry up. We haven't got all day.

Excuse me.

This door.

What I want to know is who says

they were drunk in my cafe and fighting?

As far as I can judge,

every neighbour within the radius of a mile.

What do you want us to do?

Go around talking in whispers?

Why, it's the most refined place in town.

You ought to know,

you were there last week.

Please remember, madam,

I was there in my official capacity.

- What do you want?

- Why have I been brought here?

In a hurry, eh? When your turn comes,

we'll give you plenty of time.

Well, if there was a disturbance,

why don't you go after

the person who caused it?

One of your own officers.

Oh, we won't mention any names,

but in comes your fine captain,

drunk as a pig,

and orders three bottles of champagne.

Then he lifts up one leg, like this,

and brings it down on my piano

and starts to play with his boot.

And when I asked him, most politely,

please, please not to break my piano,

he slapped me in the face.

Then he slaps Henrietta

and he slaps Louise and he slaps Matilda.

He slapped all of my entertainers.

And then he chases me all over the house.

Well, chase yourself

over there and cool off.

- What's your name?

- Raskolnikov.

Raskolnikov.

You owe your landlady 30 rubles,

and you refuse to vacate the premises.

Is that... Is that why I'm here?

Are you going to pay or get out peaceably,

or must we throw you out?

I'll pay. I'll pay tomorrow.

The rent, do you hear?

It's the rent! 30 rubles!

Stop that shouting!

Do you realise where you are?

Do you realise where you are?

See that sign?

"No smoking"! What are you doing

with that thing in your face?

I don't know anything about it!

I don't know anything about it!

Let me go! Let me go!

What's going on here?

Is this the man

who tried to sell the earrings?
