Descripción del sitio
The newly relocated (and newly painted) police station that houses the offices of Porfiry Petrovich, Ilya Petrovich ("Gunpowder"), Zamyotov, and Nikodim Fomich.
First Video: Here, Raskolnikov visits the police station for the first time, the morning after his murder of the pawnbroker and her sister, to answer a summons.
Second Video: In this video, Porfiry Petrovich interviews Raskolnikov in his office at the police station about his dealings with the pawnbroker.
QUOTE: "What is this?" he asked the clerk. "It is a request for the recovery of money owed by you on a promissory note." ... But what did he care, what did he care now about a promissory note an its recovery! Was it worth the least anxiety now, even the least attention? He stood, read, listened, replied, even asked questions himself, but all mechanically. The triumph of self-preservation, the rescue from overwhelming danger--that was what filled his entire being at the moment, with no foresight, no analysis, no future riddling and unriddling, no doubts or questions." (p. 98)
A hideous, lost smile forced itself to his lips. He stood a while, grinned, and turned back upstairs to the office. Ilya petrovich was sitting down, rummaging through some papers. Before him stood the same peasant who had just pushed Raskolnikov on his way up the stairs. ... Raskolnikov pushed the water aside with his hand an said softly, with some pauses, but distinctly: "It was I who killed the official"s old widow and her sister Lizaveta with an axe and robbed them." Ilya Petrovich opened his mouth. (p. 531)
