ANNA, THE DETECTIVE

THE ENGINEER
EPISODE 24

Where is the briefcase?

When did the murder take place?

Somewhere between 1 and 2 AM.

-Orderly!
-Your Nobleness.

-Were you asleep?
-No, sir.

-Who came to the engineer’s room?
-Miss Mironova.

Mironova? Are you sure?

Mironova.
She came at 10 PM and left at 2 AM.

-Are you sure?
-Don’t I know Anna Viktorovna?

Who else was here?

Another lady. She’s staying in the hotel.

But she came at 9:30 PM
and didn’t stay long.

Yakov Platonovich,
this was found on the floor.

Yakov Platonovich,
you don’t suspect Anna Viktorovna, do you?

Could you be mistaken about the time?

No.

I’m translating for Ernest Petrovich.
We work together for 2-3 hours a day.

Korobeynikov.

It’s Nizhinskaya.
Arrest her and... and Miss Mironova.

-Anna Viktorovna?
-Obviously, not Mariya Timofeyevna.

Yes, sir.

-Have you been here till 2 AM?
-Till two?

I came at ten and left 15 minutes later.

Of course, he was alive then.

Anna Viktorovna, I have to detain you...
until the circumstances are clarified.

Are you going to put me behind bars?

I hope it won’t come to that.
We’ll sort it out.

Don’t you believe me?

I do. But the constable says you...
you left his room at 2 AM.

I can’t ignore it.

Sinelnikov.

-Are you sure you saw Miss Mironova?
-Yes, sir.

-At what time did she leave?
-At two after midnight.

I left at quarter past ten.

But he couldn’t have seen
it because he was asleep.

What are you saying?
I’d never fall asleep on duty.

-We’ll talk about it later. Off you go.
-Yes, sir.

Did anyone see you downstairs?

No. There was nobody
at the reception desk.

Please concentrate. It’s very important.

Everybody says I’m crazy, but...
What’s this?

-What?
-What happened between you two?

-He began... Anyway...
-Did he attack you?

No, not exactly.
It was a misunderstanding.

What were you doing in his room at night?

Do you understand my question?
Why did you come to him at night?

Mind your business.

This is an inappropriate question.

Excuse me, a man was killed here.
I don’t have time for niceties.

You just sound as if you
were implying something.

I’m not implying anything.

You came to his room at ten
and left at two.

-What am I supposed to think?
-Don’t you dare to talk to me like this.

Anna Viktorovna, this isn’t the time
to sort out our relationship.

Is this your revenge?

Take a seat and calm down.
We’ll talk at the precinct.

I’m not going anywhere with you.

Well? How did it go?

My darling! My precious.

How did you manage it?

You can’t imagine what it cost me.

That’s beautiful. Amazing.

I hope you and I are beyond suspicion.

-You are. As for me...
-What about you?

The engineer is dead.

Is he?

How horrible.

What a horrible age and horrible souls.

Nina, stop it. Now, now. It’s over.

Nina, my dear...

-Can we go?
-Leave me alone.

I mean, let me stay here alone.

Please,
let me stay here for a few minutes.

All right. I’m not asking you what for.

I’ll be back in half an hour.

Where are you?

I know you’re here.
Don’t hide from me. Show yourself.

Where are you, Ernest Petrovich?
Are you ashamed? Or scared?

Don’t be. I’m the only thread that can
connect you to the world of the living.

Enough.

Nikolay Vasilyevich, this is strange.

Shtolman and I agreed
that he’d release Lassal.

But I’ve been waiting for two hours!

-Maybe formalities...
-What formalities?

Everything was settled upon.

Do me a favor and give the orders.

Viktor Ivanovich, don’t worry.
I’ll take care of everything.

What’s going on here?

Unlock it.

You’re free to go.

See?

-Thank you.
-Thank the prince. I’m just doing my job.

You’re free to go.

You Excellency, what happened?

Ask your Pinkerton!

He arrested Nina Arkadyevna
without any reason,

referring to an order from Shtolman.
Who is Shtolman?

Excuse me. Not arrested but detained.

What?

Let me introduce you
to Nina Arkadyevna Nizhinskaya,

Her Majesty’s maid of honor.

Charmed. Extremely charmed.

What brings you here? I mean, excuse me...

What does it all mean?

An order from Yakov Platonovich. An
investigation of the murder of Mr. Busse.

One minute, gentlemen. Let me sort it out.

Where is Shtolman?

Busy with the investigation.
He had ordered to detain Nizhinskaya.

Is he out of his mind?
A royal maid of honor?

Release her immediately.

Without questioning?
Nikolay Vasilyevich, there are grounds.

What grounds?

We need to interrogate her.
Otherwise, Yakov Platonovich will be upset.

Gentleness is inappropriate
when strictness is needed.

We need to question her.
At least, pro forma.

All right. Just be quick.

Nina Arkadyevna.

It’s all a misunderstanding.

But since you’re here, let’s talk.

Just to check some details

of the engineer’s case.

Only a few questions.

A few questions. Gentlemen, prince,

Viktor Ivanovich,
please come into my office.

Ernest Petrovich, you are here.
I can feel you are.

Ernest Petrovich.

Please.
Ernest Petrovich, I don’t have much time.

Don’t you want to at least
apologize to me before you go?

You were killed by a woman.

It must have irked you. Admit it.

Talk to me. Let out your frustration.

“I still long for you with all my soul,

Still look for your image...

in my memories.”

Who killed you?

“Yes, I’m alone. My hopes are scattered.

I have accepted my fate.”

Enough poetry. Tell me who killed you.

“Still look for your
image in my memories.”

Don’t try to distract me.

Did you miff her even
more than you did me?

“I still long for you with all my soul.
The monster at the Pearly Gate

doesn’t charge too much for entrance.
He sells the minutes of delight,

playing with cheap passions.”

What was it about the monster?

I’m warning you,
Mrs. Nizhinskaya will be very upset.

-It’s all right. Tell her it was my order.
-This way.

Last night I was in my suite. Sleeping.

I didn’t hear or see anything.

And we have found a cigarette
holder in Busse’s room.

Your cigarette holder.

Yes, I came by to see him in
the evening and left it there.

-Why did you go to him?
-To talk.

The engineer and I have
become good friends.

-Did you come back after that?
-No.

I won’t hide from you that,
according to our information,

engineer Busse was
a big connoisseur of women’s beauty...

if you know what I mean.

Did he tell you anything... about someone?
Was he expecting a visitor?

Why would he share such personal details?

You’ve just said you two
had become close friends.

He didn’t tell me anything.
Can I leave now?

Excuse me; a few more questions.

He who has patience can produce silk
from leaves and honey from rose petals.

I couldn’t but notice the bruise on
your wrist and the grazed fingers.

Yes. I fell down in my room yesterday.

You should show it to a doctor.

Dr. Milts, who works
with us, is very good.

Thank you. I have a doctor of my own.

That’s all, Nina Arkadyevna.
Time to wrap it up.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Nikolay Vasilyevich, a couple words.
Please.

Anton Andreyevich, please follow me.
I’m sorry.

What are you doing?
Who do you think you are?

I’m sorry, Your High Nobleness.
I need a medical examination.

Are you out of your mind?

There are traces of desperate
struggle in the engineer’s room.

And Nina Arkadyevna has bruises on her
wrists and abrasions on her fingers.

Abrasions! Don’t even think about it.
Are you insane?

Yakov Platonovich will be very upset.

You and your Yakov Platonovich can go to...

Nikolay Vasilyevich, that’s enough.
Enough bothering Nina Arkadyevna.

Of course! Nina Arkadyevna.

I’m sorry. Thank you for your cooperation.

Again, I’m sorry for my people.
You are free to go.

I’ll destroy you!

Come on, gentlemen.

Anna Viktorovna, we can go now.

Are you here?

“The monster at the Pearly Gate
doesn’t charge too much for entrance.”

Where is the briefcase?

Where did you find him?

We met him as soon as he left
the precinct... in a quiet place.

Nobody will help you.
No one will look for you if you disappear.

You are an invisible man.

It’s strange to hear this from a lawman.

Enough, Jean. The disguise is off.
You know who I am, and I know who you are.

There are no lawyers here;

nobody to appreciate your
bravery and loyalty.

Neither the prince nor Nizhinskaya
will ever know what happened to you.

Don’t torture yourself. Answer me.

Who killed the engineer?

Where is the briefcase?

The funny thing is,
I don’t know the answers.

I’ve spent all night in the precinct.

See what you can beat out
of him and then release him.

-Release him?
-Release him.

How are you?

Nina, maybe you should leave.

Go back to the capital.
Leave it all to me.

No, prince, I won’t abandon you.

I’ll get myself together.

Hello.

You sent a girl to the hotel last night,
to engineer Busse.

-Is it a statement or a question?
-A statement.

Well, it’s a wrong one. I didn’t.

He called for a girl every night.

I don’t know anything about it.

Better ask him: he’s already dead.

-I want to talk to Aglaya Lvovna.
-I won’t stop you.

Go ahead. She’s in her room.

Thank you. Come back soon.

Hello.

Please tell Aglaya Lvovna I’m here.

Anna?

Is something wrong?

I need your help.

To your rooms, quick.

Let’s sit down.

-Where is Shtolman?
-I don’t know.

-What about Mironova?
-What?

The constable says he saw her
leaving the engineer’s room at 2 AM.

He must be confused.
Let me ask him again in your presence.

What is this?

-What?
-Shtolman’s tricks?

Go ahead.

Orderly. Call Sinelnikov.

Look... Look at this arrogant man!

That’s it. Your turn.

Here!

My girls have nothing
to do with this case.

He only called them twice.

He must have found another
place on the side.

-But if weren’t your girls, who, then?
-Anyone! How would I know?

“I still long for you with all my soul...”

All right. I remember the way
you stood up for my girls.

There is one girl who used to work for me.
We didn’t get along, and I fired her.

I thought she would perish, but no,
she survived and even found a job.

She still works on the side in her
old trade. She’s rather pretty.

Where can I find her?

She’s a seamstress at a dressmaker’s
in Main Street.

Her name is Vera.

-Thank you.
-Well...

You’re welcome.

Well, Mr. Busse, are you silent?

It means that Mamma was right.

Come on, my friend, think.

One needs to exercise
one’s memory all the time.

It’s hard to remember everything.
I think she was wearing a blue dress.

Anna Viktorovna came in
wearing a blue dress. Right?

-Yes.
-And when she left the room?

She was in brown.

Are you telling us she changed
her clothes at the engineer’s?

You’re confusing me.

You said it yourself:
she came in at 10 PM wearing blue

and went out at 2 wearing brown.
Is that right? Yes.

Was she wearing a hat?

I don’t know.

-Maybe, one with a veil?
-I don’t know.

“I don’t know.” Blue or brown?

Just a minute,
Anton Andreyevich, my dear...

I swear I don’t know...

My friend,
did you see Anna Viktorovna’s face?

Yes. When she came in.

And when she came out?

I don’t think so. I only saw her figure.

How could you not see her face
if she was right in front of you?

I’ll tell you how. You were asleep and
wake up only when she was down the hall,

her back turned to you.

You were asleep.

What were you going to do?
Arrest the seamstress?

I was going to check if she’s
there and then tell you.

Don’t be childish, Anna Viktorovna.
How could you?

How could you think
I was able to kill someone?

Anna Viktorovna.

Even worse,
you think I’m lying to get away with it.

I never doubted your innocence.
But there is a procedure.

I’m not telling you another word.

Excuse me. You don’t have
to talk to me as a private person,

but you are obliged to give me,
as an investigator, an explanation.

All right. If you insist.

I accidentally overheard a conversation
between the prince and Mrs. Nizhinskaya.

I went to warn the engineer
about the danger he was in.

But now I realize it
was just my imagination.

Mr. Busse misunderstood my intentions.

He thought If I came to him at night,
it meant...

Go on.

He was drunk.

He ridiculed my suspicions and...
tried to kiss me.

I pushed him away.

You have to understand it
was a complete surprise.

You didn’t know what to expect.

I didn’t. I can’t believe he could
think that was the reason of my visit.

It would be strange for him
to think of any other reason.

Why is that?

Any man would think the same thing he did.

Would you?

Do you really think
I could have come to him as a man?

Anna Viktorovna, you are a young woman.
Why would it be strange if you did?

-In the middle of the night?
-It happens.

You’re trying to offend me.

Come on. This isn’t such a big deal.
You’re young.

What?

You know what?
It’s not you who’s talking right now.

I don’t know what you were
trying to achieve, but if...

You’ve succeeded. I’m packing my things
and leaving to St. Petersburg tomorrow!

You won’t ever see me again.

I’m telling you again:
you eat as much as you work.

What did you just say?

-I know what I said.
-Who are you talking to?

Easy, easy, guys. That’s enough.

You don’t work at all.

You have crossed the line today.

You have crossed it a long time ago.

I was humiliated because of you.

Do you mean the fight in your room?

It hurts.

Did the seamstress steal the jewelry?
Here is what happened.

Engineer, this satyr, saw the seamstress
when she brought your dress to the hotel.

She’s pretty; of course he liked her.

And you put her up to stealing
the briefcase.

But something went wrong that night.

The engineer probably woke up

when she was leaving
the room with the briefcase.

I found traces of blood
and signs of a fight in your room.

She ran to you,
covered in the engineer’s blood,

and demanded more money.

More money? Wait!
That’s not what we agreed upon.

I’m telling you I need more money!

I killed a man because of you
with my own hands.

Do you hear? I killed him.

I want money!

She rushed into my room,
covered in blood and having a hysterics.

I thought she was going to kill me.

Yes, sounds horrible.

But next morning she got herself together,
came to the police,

and earned herself a short
sentence to avoid the galleys.

-I didn’t know that.
-Of course.

You should give up that briefcase.

I don’t have any briefcase.

Of course you don’t.

Jacob, I’m barely managing

to protect you from big trouble.

Come on. Are you trying to scare me?

I’d be scared for Anna, if I were you.

For your Anna.

My Anna? Don’t be ridiculous.

Anyway, she’s leaving.

Leaving?

To St. Petersburg.
So, there’s nothing to talk about.

Quite the opposite.

Anna. Anna, open the door, please.

We need to talk.

There’s nothing to talk about.
I’m leaving.

You’re not going anywhere.

In that case,
I’ll never come out of this room.

Of course you won’t!
Because I’ll lock you up.

I’ll die, then!

Can you explain to me what happened?

There’s nothing to explain.
I’m just tired of you.

I want a different life.

-Anna! What are you doing there?
-Packing my suitcase.

Annette, listen to me, my dear.
That’s not how it’s done.

Moving away is a serious step.
We understand that you’ve made a decision,

but we need to discuss it first.
Don’t be in such a rush.

Uncle, pack up your things,
you’re coming with me. Tomorrow!

Stop smirking at me. Go away!
I’m tired of your smug face.

Anna... who are you talking to?

Rehearsing the final
conversation with Mr. Shtolman.

-Go away, please. Go away.
-Not a chance.

I find you entertaining.

Leave me alone.

-Annette, we just want to talk.
-I knew it was about Shtolman.

-If so, it will soon pass.
- It won’t. Uncle, get ready.

What are we going to do in St. Petersburg?

What? Is it you talking? You?!

Remember our plans, our dreams...

See? It’s all your fault.

You’ll enroll at Women’s
Courses and marry a student.

Then there will be groups,
secret meetings.

You’ll throw a bomb at a chief of police
and die in the explosion.

Please leave me alone.
You know nothing about me.

Anna, my dear, don’t be like this.
We are... We are your family.

-We love you.
-Then let me live my life. I...

It will be better for everyone.

No, no, and no. You’re not going anywhere.

Oh my God. Is it such a big deal,
to go to St. Petersburg for a couple days?

We would go sightseeing...

She’ll be the first to say
she wants to go back.

What if she doesn’t?

-If she doesn’t...
-See? It’s all your doing!

Masha. Masha.

Please don’t do this.

He’s right.
Forbidden fruit tests the sweetest.

Let her try it.

-What? Forbidden fruit?
-I mean, life in the capital.

Mrs. Nishinskaya is here to see you.

Now?

Yakov Platonovich. I’ve been looking
for you all around the town.

-Anna Viktorovna is innocent.
-Very good.

The constable mixed it all up.
He was asleep.

-I exposed it.
-It was Vera the seamstress.

The seamstress?
The one who’s under arrest?

Yes. They put her up
to steal the briefcase.

-Unfortunately, we can’t prove it.
-What shall we do?

-Let’s write a novel together.
-It’s a good idea.

We’ll write in the foreword that
all the events are fictional, and...

And any coincidences are incidental.
And the title?

"The Death of an Engineer", of course.

Sounds good.

I almost forgot.
Dr. Milts sent a letter for you.

I hope nothing serious happened.

See you tomorrow, Anton Andreyevich.

See you tomorrow.

"The Death of an Engineer..."

The devil has escaped.

We need to move to a new place.

Of course.

But we won’t recover
sooner that next week.

Get some rest, gentlemen.
You did a good job.

Whom has been the Frenchmen
meeting with lately?

The prince.

There was one day when he was
shadowing the Englishman, though.

The Englishman again?

-Do we know his name?
-Gordon Brown.

Where is he staying?

At Mikhailov’s manor out of town.
There are guards.

I see. Get better soon, gentlemen.

Miss.

Yes?

Miss, a visitor for you. Mrs. Nizhinskaya.

-What? Are you sure?
-Yes.

-I’m not receiving visitors.
-She’s waiting in the parlor.

“Be silent, hide away and let...”

I’m sorry for the late visit,
but this is urgent.

You can’t go anywhere. You need to stay.

THE ENGINEER
