The Story of Sin Page #5

What?

We'll bring your man here for you

Who do you mean?

Niepolomski, of course!

This guy's worth a packet

- The door's locked?

- Yes

That man won't be back?

Never

l don't want you to see him again

l love you so much

l love you too...

l hate thinking of him here...

lt hurts me...

lt burns a deep scar in my brain...

You're crying?

lt's nothing

Just...

...l'm so happy

We'll go to Italy first

And then to America

You shot Lukash, didn't you?

Count Sigismund Szczerbic

of Zglishche

Show me where you hit him

l'll kiss the spot

Here at the side

Curare's the best

Paralyses the speech organs...

...the larynx and the power to move

lt leaves absolutely no trace

Not a drop of blood.

Nothing

He'll be gone in a minute

Wait till he's dead!

What's your name?

Anna Winter

ls that your real name?

Why do you need my real name?

l want to talk...

...to a real human being

and not a flower of the street

A do-gooder

Please...

Don't be angry

lf you only want to talk...

...then l'm busy

l'm going out

- What is your price?

- 25 roubles

Very well, then

- You're expensive, nymph Calypso!

- That's the price

Take it, my sweet, take it

We can talk without having sex

lt's not the same

But l only want to talk

Then take your money and go!

Either have fun, or get out

All right! Strip, if you want to

You want it too

Lover boy!

Go on. Just get your clothes off

What's your name?

Surname?

No surname

Right, why soil your father's name

What's your name?

Ciprian Bodzanta

l like the way you do your hair

Like the wife of Septimus Severus

l got it from Cleo de Merode

Such a vulgar model

A terrible dancer too

- Are your parents alive?

-No

- Been long in this profession?

- Yes

Can you read?

You idiot!

l can speak French, Mr Missionary...

l've lived in Nice and Paris

l've led more than one Count

a merry dance

l could see you had style

Why not come and work for me?

Full board and a salary

- Where?

- The country

- Your place?

- Yes, where l live

A job...l know all about

those kind of jobs

l never touch a woman l don't love

And l don't love you. All right?

Welcome to Utopia!

Cut out the irony

ln Poland, any progress is Utopia

Co-operative farms make more sense

l ask nobody

to give away their fortunes

Aren't you afraid they might damage

those beautiful paintings?

Such work shouldn't be shut away

in a museum

lt should travel the world

speak to the people

That's the point of art

We show our paintings in the market

Was it difficult

to give up your wealth?

Of course. But only he

who gives up property...

..may conquer the universe

And l'm eager to conquer it!

lt's easier to attain virtue

through sin...

...than through ignorance

Bodzanta dragged me here

by the hand...

Now l'm the happiest woman on earth

Are you really happy here?

Very

We could return to our old lives

But who wants the tyranny of men?

We're happy here without them

You all do what you want?

Yes. We can work, or rest...

stay or leave

Do many leave?

Some of the girls have married

Then you do see men here?

You can see whoever you want

But marriage isn't all

it's cracked up to be in any case

Families are just a burden

when you get down to it

Have you had children?

No

Through the pain of possession,

you attain the grace of loss

Through the grace of loss

you attain the pain of possession

l'm bored with virtue

And that's the truth

My only property is one secret

How l long

to attain the grace of its loss

Tell, it to me.

It's what l've waited for!

l killed my baby...

You knew Count Szczerbic?

Yes

l killed him in Vienna

You...

You...killed him

Let us lift our hearts to the sun

Let its light resurrect our spirit

Out of the way!

Old baldie!

Lukash Niepolomski sent me

Lukash Niepolomski?

A letter for you

From Lukash?

You're a/ways atn1ys/'de. Jneedyou

J cannot//'ve w/'th these thoughts

Since you were in love,

we'll forget your arson

Will you come with me?

To Niepolomski?

- You know where he is?

- Of course!

- He wants to see me?

- He sent me

- You're sure it was him?

- Certain

Lukash Niepolomski?

Yes

My God!...Plaza-Splawski!

How do you do?

Have you come to pay pennance?

Not yet

You fight boredom with debauchery

You're more bored than me

How are your mines in America?

Come and see them. We'll have fun

l know your kind of fun only too well

Ah ha! And your idea of fun

is picking through human refuse

So?

You're like an Arab colt

that lets its forefeet be bound...

...so that it can only hobble

like a common carthorse

Your humour is hollow

l thought your enemies had killed you

To kill a tiger you must be

well armed

You're like those old men who believe

that Mandrake will help them...

...to conceive children with young,

passionate girls

Come, Eva

She's going with you?

She's sick of your moral tales

My name is...

Stanislaw Kozielski

l'm a sick man

Please take care of me like a wife

l must leave you now

Where's Lukash?

On the Isle of Celebes.

He'll be back soon

l'm just off...

...to meet him

Go if you want...

Go back to the country

But if you do...

...you might miss Lukash again

lntroduce yourselves, gentlemen

Batasinski

Grzywacz

Come on, the lady's waiting

Faytus

Evie... Evie. Is it you?

Let go, you scum

Come and drink a brandy

Don't you remember me?

You stink like a corpse!

Not for money,

but for old times' sake

l'm temporarily broke

But l always loved you

You dirty clown

Do you remember me?

l remember you were a randy bastard

Do you have to be so vulgar?

You could have had me back then

But you were too stupid to know it

You're lying!

l made mother ill and father a drunk

No! You were pure

Ah! Go to hell

Don't you want me, then?

No, l can't bear to look at you.

And l'm broke

l'll go with you

Just tell me what bar

father drinks in now

l'll show you. l promise

Come with me, Evie

We are going...

We are going, my dear,

to Marshalkowski Street

Number 305

Make yourself beautiful

We'll go separately

You first

Eva...Look at this

The famous case of the late...

...Ciprian Bodzanta...

...the mad Count...

...ended in court yesterday

The court ruled void the reforms

done by the mentally ill man...

...and gave back all farms and lands

to his widow

Who cares?

He's dead meat now

Don't cry. It'll leave marks

on your face

Faytus! Leave the tobacco! My coat!

You go first

Walk up the marble steps...

...and you come to an entrance door

with a brass plate

You'll see the name

Lukash Niepolomski

Precisely. Precisely...

...the same

What's he doing?

lt's his home and office

l see

Niepolomski will be there

You distract him

We empty the safe

Just the four of you?

Yes, my sweet.

Just us

Will you kill Lukash?

Not neccessarily...

But no tricks, or it's curtains

Lukash!

Run quickly!

They mean to kill you!

That woman is innocent

She only came to warn me.

You must release her!

l'll give my fortune for her freedom
