Chekist Page #2

Synopsis: Srubov is a part of CHEKA, the secret police Lenin established after the Bolshevik Revolution. They arrest, interview for a minute, try in ten seconds, and execute intellectuals, aristocrats, Jews, clergy, and their families. In the building basement, five people at a time are shot as they stand naked facing wooden doors. No one to remember their last words; no martyrs, just anonymous bodies. Daily, the kangaroo court, the executions, the loading of bodies onto wagons. Srubov is cold, distant, sexually dysfunctional, and a deep thinker, hated by former friends and his family. As he tries to reason the nature of revolution and the purpose of CHEKA, he slowly goes mad.

l give my soul to you.

116

00:
09:24,960 -- 00:09:27,474

May God forgive you ...

and forgive me.

117

00:
09:33,320 -- 00:09:35,356

The clothes here, come on.

118

00:
09:38,760 -- 00:09:40,591

Need Help?

119

00:
09:45,600 -- 00:09:46,874

Against the doors!

120

00:
09:51,680 -- 00:09:54,240

- Forgive me, my friend.

- Come, come.

121

00:
09:58,320 -- 00:09:59,594

Face the doors!

122

00:
10:06,960 -- 00:10:08,154

Sailor,

123

00:
10:08,280 -- 00:10:10,430

let me finish

your cigarette.

124

00:
10:54,120 -- 00:10:55,348

Up!

125

00:
11:04,240 -- 00:11:06,549

Efim, why do you need these?

126

00:
11:06,680 -- 00:11:08,079

- What?

- The crosses.

127

00:
11:08,200 -- 00:11:10,236

For the boys,

something to play with.

128

00:
11:38,920 -- 00:11:40,319

Clean job!

129

00:
11:42,640 -- 00:11:43,709

Clean job!

130

00:
11:44,200 -- 00:11:47,590

''Executioner's apprentice school

of the Revolutionary Socialist Party. ''

131

00:
12:09,240 -- 00:12:11,800

The gasoline only lasts

for two trips.

132

00:
12:11,920 -- 00:12:14,639

Then stuff them in tight.

133

00:
13:20,400 -- 00:13:21,150

No,

134

00:
13:21,960 -- 00:13:23,712

Revolution is not an idea,

135

00:
13:24,120 -- 00:13:25,678

its a living organism

136

00:
13:26,560 -- 00:13:28,676

a huge pregnant woman.

137

00:
13:31,000 -- 00:13:33,639

Not the one Marx made up

and clothed in a white gown.

138

00:
13:34,720 -- 00:13:36,119

There is a myth...

139

00:
13:37,000 -- 00:13:38,433

... about a proliferous woman,

140

00:
13:39,040 -- 00:13:41,156

dressed in a lousy

canvas shirt.

141

00:
13:42,280 -- 00:13:46,273

Through her body swarm parasites.

We gotta squash them all!

142

00:
13:48,480 -- 00:13:50,357

Especially in this country,

143

00:
13:50,840 -- 00:13:53,513

where for centuries the respect

for the individual is undermined.

144

00:
13:54,160 -- 00:13:55,718

We, more than anyone,

145

00:
13:56,400 -- 00:13:58,118

need an iron law-and-order:

Otherwise...

146

00:
13:59,120 -- 00:14:00,189

... our end would be inevitable.

147

00:
14:02,120 -- 00:14:03,792

But the most frightening thing...

148

00:
14:04,840 -- 00:14:06,671

...will be general mutiny.

149

00:
14:08,560 -- 00:14:11,597

Therefore, our emerging

Revolution will only succeed,

150

00:
14:11,720 -- 00:14:14,712

if we force the storm...

151

00:
14:14,840 -- 00:14:17,434

... into the bounds of

constructive order. Understand?

152

00:
14:20,360 -- 00:14:23,636

That's where Marx'

white gown comes in.

153

00:
14:41,720 -- 00:14:43,073

Hear them tick!

154

00:
16:05,600 -- 00:16:09,878

Citizen Superior, Comrade Chekist,

give me a cigarette.

155

00:
16:17,440 -- 00:16:19,908

33 buckets of sh*t and piss...

156

00:
16:20,040 -- 00:16:22,952

... wrapped in skin, the hoard...

157

00:
16:23,080 -- 00:16:25,469

... is provincial Cheka Chief;

his ass's a kissing board.

158

00:
16:42,480 -- 00:16:45,472

Communist greetings,

comrade Srubov.

159

00:
16:50,640 -- 00:16:53,757

l told you, gentle President

of the local Cheka,

160

00:
16:53,880 -- 00:16:57,589

you'll find in me

a most useful collaborator.

161

00:
17:00,800 -- 00:17:01,869

Take a look.

162

00:
17:04,520 -- 00:17:05,236

l understand.

163

00:
17:07,600 -- 00:17:08,430

May l?

164

00:
17:28,000 -- 00:17:31,390

He is my wife's brother.

He's called Klemenko.

165

00:
17:32,520 -- 00:17:34,272

- Klemenko?

166

00:
17:35,040 -- 00:17:38,191

Captain Klemenko, head of

Army counter-intelligence.

167

00:
17:39,640 -- 00:17:41,949

The address is on the back.

168

00:
17:42,920 -- 00:17:46,230

You see, l don't spare

even those of my blood.

169

00:
17:52,440 -- 00:17:55,989

Give me 200 rubles,

dear comrade Srubov.

170

00:
17:57,320 -- 00:17:58,196

Why?

171

00:
18:01,600 -- 00:18:04,558

To cover expenses for the

acquisition of the photo.

172

00:
18:16,840 -- 00:18:18,114

Don't you feel sorry?

173

00:
18:27,400 -- 00:18:28,628

And you?

174

00:
18:31,600 -- 00:18:34,160

Aren't you frightened

of what you do, Comrade Srubov?

175

00:
18:37,360 -- 00:18:38,156

No.

176

00:
18:38,800 -- 00:18:41,030

l, however, feel horror and pity.

177

00:
18:58,920 -- 00:19:02,276

Arms entrusted to you

by the party...

178

00:
19:02,400 -- 00:19:04,834

... must be used properly.

179

00:
19:04,960 -- 00:19:06,791

We do not have to

go into detail.

180

00:
19:06,920 -- 00:19:10,595

All you need to pronounce

a sentence is to know ...

181

00:
19:10,720 -- 00:19:14,998

what class the accused

belongs to, his education, his job.

182

00:
19:15,880 -- 00:19:19,111

This determines his attitude

towards soviet authority.

183

00:
19:20,240 -- 00:19:23,391

We do not destroy single people,

but the bourgeois class...

184

00:
19:24,080 -- 00:19:27,993

... which puts up ever new

enemies of the Revolution.

185

00:
19:29,480 -- 00:19:32,392

We could remove these

snakes one by one,

186

00:
19:32,920 -- 00:19:34,876

but the Revolution

is still in danger...

187

00:
19:35,000 -- 00:19:36,672

... and we must squash without

pity this bourgeois haunt!

188

00:
19:45,440 -- 00:19:46,668

So, Srubov:

189

00:
19:48,080 -- 00:19:49,798

There is no place

for liberalism.

190

00:
19:50,440 -- 00:19:53,318

- You released detained officers.

- l know nothing.

191

00:
19:54,120 -- 00:19:57,317

Only one of those arrested

has been released. Please.

192

00:
19:58,920 -- 00:20:00,194

l'll explain.

193

00:
20:54,640 -- 00:20:55,789

A sympathiser? That's good.

194

00:
20:57,920 -- 00:21:01,276

lt's his duty to help us,

but he can not be trusted.

195

00:
21:02,240 -- 00:21:05,516

lf a man speaks much,

he lies even more.

196

00:
21:06,600 -- 00:21:08,238

We must check it all.

And check scrupulously.

197

00:
21:10,120 -- 00:21:11,348

What is this?

198

00:
21:12,040 -- 00:21:13,473

- May l?

- Of course.

199

00:
21:15,120 -- 00:21:16,075

Yes?

200

00:
21:18,160 -- 00:21:20,469

No, l have a lot of work.

l'll be late.

201

00:
21:21,520 -- 00:21:22,509

Ridiculous.

202

00:
21:23,360 -- 00:21:24,713

Yes, a dumb female.

203

00:
21:29,960 -- 00:21:31,313

l'll take this.

204

00:
21:33,320 -- 00:21:35,515

l found vodka

in the third company.

205

00:
21:35,640 -- 00:21:38,279

Pepel, have you thought

on terror?

206

00:
21:39,760 -- 00:21:42,035

Have you ever felt sorry

for the executions?

207

00:
21:44,600 -- 00:21:47,034

l am a soldier

and you are an intellectual.

208

00:
21:47,720 -- 00:21:50,359

For me there's hatred;

for you:
philosophy.

209

00:
22:04,800 -- 00:22:06,950

Tamara Lunen Jurevna,

middle class,

210

00:
22:07,080 -- 00:22:09,116

openly spoke against

soviet authority.

211

00:
22:09,400 -- 00:22:10,276

Guilty.

212

00:
22:11,040 -- 00:22:12,792

- Motions?

- A firing squad.

213

00:
22:12,920 -- 00:22:16,469

Evgenij Kovalov Petrovic,

214

00:
22:16,600 -- 00:22:18,795

public office

at the gold concessions.

215

00:
22:18,920 -- 00:22:20,558

- Motions?

- Firing squad.
