About this episode

The episode explores Raskolnikov's internal struggle with the consequences of his actions following a murder.

"It’s as well that you only killed the old woman. If you’d invented another theory you might perhaps have done something a thousand times more hideous." Raskolnikov was a young man with a theory. A theory that led to a choice, and now he doesn't know how to deal with the consequences. Who will condemn him first, the police, or his own conscience? Tune in to see how Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov's bold and violent story will play out.
