Have you ever met a girl named Tatiana?
Nikolai Luzhin I meet lot of girls named Tatiana.
She was pregnant.
Nikolai Luzhin Ah, in that case – no, I've never heard of her.
She died on my shift.
Nikolai Luzhin I thought you did birth?
Sometimes birth and death go together. She came in with needle punches all over both arms. Probably a prostitute, at the age of fourteen. Do you think Semyon's son knew her?
Nikolai Luzhin I am driver. I go left, I go right, I go straight ahead – that's it.
So you've read the diary. How can you keep doing what you're doing?
Nikolai Luzhin I'm just a driver.
My uncle has gone missing, since I told you about him translating the diary.
Nikolai Luzhin Your uncle is fine, he is in Edinburgh, in a 5-Star Hotel. I was ordered to send him to Heaven with a bullet in his brain... instead I gave him a first class ticket to Scotland. He is old-school, he understands things... exile or death.
Nikolai Luzhin I need you to take Semyon out of the picture. I want you to arrest him.
Yuri Arrest him for what?
Nikolai Luzhin Rape. The girl was 14.
Yuri And of course she will testify?
Nikolai Luzhin She is dead, but she had Semyon's baby. If you can prove baby was his, and girl was underage, that is statutory rape. You have baby, you need Semyon's DNA. For poetic reasons, I suggest you take his blood.
Why are you doing this, why are you helping us?
Nikolai Luzhin How can I become king, if the king is still in place?
