The Fixer Page #5

Mom, Dad, save me.

Raisl, anyone.

Help me.

The world has forgotten me.

I walk to Jerusalem

to the mountains of the moon.

I walk to hell.

I walk to St. Petersburg

see the Tsar.

His Imperial Majesty Nicolas II.

Emperor, Tsar and Autocrat

of all the Russias.

Yakov Bok, handyman.

Please undress.

Excuse me?

Undress!

Keep your shirt.

Remove the rest.

Why?

I have to search you.

What are you looking for?

Pity.

Stop shoving me.

Who's there?

The king of Bulgaria!

I leave you.

You have two minutes, no more.

Doing yourself.

Look at me.

What have I missed your face?

Nothing.

What did they cut?

What did you cut?

We were poor

and childless,

but you're also a prostitute.

A man, it does not

me a prostitute.

A wife either.

You stopped loving me

because I could not give you a child.

I'm not here for that.

Forget it, it's over.

Why so?

I returned to the shtetl

and dad told me.

I implored the General Counsel

let me see you.

He told me to bring you a paper.

Sign and you are free.

I curse this paper!

I curse you for bringing him here.

Stop yelling and sign.

That's why you came.

To betray me again.

It was the only way to see you.

This is not the real reason

I'm here.

I came crying.

You cried already

the last time I saw you.

Two years later,

I'll see you crying.

God, why are you crying?

I do not know.

Tears are tears.

Do not cry anymore.

Forgive me not

honored to have you in bed.

I had to punish someone

and you gave me a scapegoat.

You were the person

nearest.

What can I say?

If everything were to start again,

I'd cry less.

Then stop.

There is not that much.

I have news for you

which may sadden you.

I gave birth to a child.

It was time.

Boy or girl?

Boy.

How to call it?

Chaiml,

like my grandfather.

It's a pretty name.

He is doing well?

Obviously.

Besides my asthma,

I never got sick.

Yakov, you do not understand.

I left you

there are more than two years.

Stop it!

The baby is less than a year.

If you can have children,

where was the problem?

Why do we

ever had?

Who knows?

They sometimes come on later.

It is a matter of luck.

Lucky me has always been lacking.

I already find incredible

to be alive.

What do you want from me?

This would make things easier

if you recognize a child.

You do not have to.

The father ...

The father is a goy.

He was a Jew, a musician.

He did that happen.

It is the parent, not the father.

Whoever behaves father

is the real father.

My own father cares.

Make the sign and go.

Give.

This written confession

is a tissue of lies.

I declare that

the legitimate father of Chaiml,

the son born to

Bok Raisl by my wife.

Come to the aid of my wife

and my child

in spite of all my troubles.

I'd appreciate it.

Out.

English Petition

includes 240 names,

whose archbishops

Canterbury and York,

Cardinal Bourne

and Primate of Ireland.

The petition includes American

Protestants and Catholics,

two cardinals.

We will keep you informed

so that you understand

how the Count is Odoevsky

to obtain confessions

rapid and voluntary

the prisoner.

Signed I.N. Grubeshov.

If you importune, kill him.

Judge!

These people are devoid

any moral sense.

I'm afraid they want

also kill you.

You came to that?

No, not really.

I just salute a hero.

I'm no hero.

We decided to be a hero.

It is a choice.

I'm an idiot.

Worse, an accident.

I had no intention.

I have brought you

news.

Do not tell anyone.

The doors open

and frees prisoners.

Rivers of Africa

back to the mountains.

There is an opal that pays

tears of blood ...

Excuse me.

I do not believe in superstitions.

So why talk to me?

Sure ... it's not you.

So this is my ghost.

You visit.

Welcome Odoevsky Count,

Minister of Justice,

an honorable man.

He interrupted

a banquet to come.

I'm tired.

I need to sit down.

If you want to kill me,

the guard has a gun.

You have the indictment?

Better than that, my friend.

Tsar party

the tercentenary of his dynasty

by pardoning several criminals,

including you.

You can go

in your village.

Shtetl.

It's called a shtetl.

You are free

you have been pardoned.

I have committed no crime.

I do not want amnesty

I ask for a trial.

If you try

release me without trial,

he will shoot me.

You treated me as a criminal.

Prove it.

Yakov Bok,

I implore you, on behalf of the tsar.

Prevent the worst tragedy

that can befall the Jewish people.

I prevent it.

During my trial.

You're crazy.

No, Mr. Prosecutor.

This is not madness.

He would understand.

Who?

Mr. Bibikov.

This is not madness.

But consciousness.

Of consciousness.

This is horrible

of killing such a man.

It would be wise not to blame

that you depend on.

Wisdom has never been my forte.

I felt a change

perpetuate itself in me, Mr. Minister.

Fear gave way to hatred.

Who do you hate?

Tsar.

Government.

You.

All those who lack ...

psychology, as they say,

which turns into goodness.

And respect for the poor.

I was misinformed about you.

You have strong

political beliefs.

Everyone

interested in politics.

"No freedom without a fight"

Spinoza said.

A Jew?

He said ...

"We can not remain impassive

and let destruction. "

He said ...

"If the state behaves

odious to the people,

"Destroy the state is

a lesser evil. "

You spoke.

Good evening.

You have underestimated this man

for three years.

And compromise our justice

the eyes of Europe.

We have no choice.

We must judge this man.

I have a terrible feeling.

What kind?

They'll pay.

His face, his eyes betray him.

If it is judged.

- The Director ...

- Grizitskoy.

He has more than 65 years,

he will retire tomorrow.

His deputy, Pyatikov,

replace.

Well thought out.

Only if we act

with discretion.

The whole world's eyes

turned to the Jew.

If it happens anything,

it will not go unnoticed.

I do not

Bibikov to another.

Know an indictment

was drawn up against you.

You will receive shortly.

It took time.

Hassid you?

Oh, that?

They want to make me look

as Jewish as possible.

For the trial, I think.

I understand.

I did not show up.

Julius Ostrovsky, Bar Kiev.

Represent

entire Jewish community.

I feel honored

for you.

There is nothing honorable.

Everything is suffering infamous.

It does not honor the suffering.

Talking about my case.

First, the guilt of the lover

Marfa was established.

Then, petitions arrive

the world at the Tsar.

Finally, justice can be done,

even in Russia.

You have a chance, not huge,

but a chance nonetheless.

Your situation improves.

It's strange.

When it gets better on the outside

it's worse for me here.

Why?

They insult me.

They are all means

imaginable humiliate me.

Yesterday, they threw a bucket

excrement on the head.

Listen to me carefully

Yakov Shepsovitch.

They can not avoid trial

that killing you.

Do not give them the opportunity

to justify this act.

Obey their orders.

Beware of accidents.

Do not respond to provocations.

Is that understood?
