A Plan to Arrest for Rape Accusation
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.

Choices Between Exile and Death
Anna
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.

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?
