hour, every minute of my life.

To put it shortly...

It started in the theater, I went

out during the intermission.

Have you heard?

Captain Bezumcev is making

a scandal upstairs in the bar.

Bezumcev who? Which regiment?

Ah, he's one of these.

Why don't you bring your

brother-officer to reason?

We're in public area, after all.

- I have seen nothing reprehensible.

- Nothing? It seems like he's drunk!

It only seems so.

We thank you for upholding the

honor of our regiment.

The whole city's talking about us.

He should be nominated

for an award.

Allow me, gentlemen.

You did witness the guardsmen

talking about Cap. Bezumcev didn't you?

Why didn't you stop them?

Why should I? It's his and Bezumcev's

own business to discuss.

- I see.

- No it's not!

This concerns each and

every one of us!

You've brought shame on us, in front

of other officers and everyone!

Will you cut it out?

You don't seem to care about

the regiment's honor.

The regiment's honor is fine.

Gentlemen, that's foolish, you're

making a problem out of nothing.

The honor of our officers

is not "nothing"!

You're just a coward!

Calm down, gentlemen.

It think it's not too late

for our staff-captain

to clear our name

by demanding satisfaction from

the officer in question.

You're offering me a duel?

or...

I won't submit to your

narrow-minded tyranny!

- I won't fight!

- Then we demand that you leave

our regiment immediately!

I resigned and left my regiment.

I was penniless...

and all alone on the streets.

I lost my courage and willpower.

I was thrown away...

thrown away and forgotten.

And nobody knows that.

Closing time!

Shut the doors,

turn off the light.

I was offended, for life,

For my noble impulse

towards people.

So let it be shame, let it

be disgrace.

Let it be sin.

The worse - the better.

And that's what I chose.

But where did she

learn all that?

Turns out, it is all Yulia Samsonovna,

our former acquaintance.

A widow, lives upstairs.

That's where your wife

spends time nowadays.

Your former colleague

is involved too,

an officer by the name Efymovych.

He's a good friend of hers.

They're having a date tonight.

If you wish, I can arrange that you'll

hear every word of their rendez-vous.

- That'll do.

- Yes, but...

The colonel's wife would

want her share too, so...

So Efymovych told her...

...and she's having a date with him.

...your spouse was

shivering with fear.

He's not worthy of such charming,

such intelligent,

such courageous woman as you.

Courageous?

Ah, yes, courageous.

To dare go on date with you takes

a lot of courage, is that what you say?

You're right, though.

Please go on.

You promised to prove me, that
