After Raskolnikov continues to follow him Svidrigailov enters a carriage and invited Raskolnikov to go with him. Raskolnikov refuses and leaves quickly. Svidrigailov only heads a hundred meters in the carriage before getting out, and walking to meet someone. Raskolnikov runs into Dunya while crossing a bridge, but in so lost in his thoughts that he fails to see her. Svidrigailov meets Dunya as she gets off of the bridge, and takes her back to his apartment after convincing her that Sofia could also be home next door. Dunya is unconvinced when Svidrigailov shows her where he overheard Raskolnikov's confession to Sofia. Dunya slowly becomes overwhelmed and angry with confusion, and Svidrigailov offers to help her brother avoid punishment if she will marry him. In horror, she runs to the door but finds that it has been locked by Svidrigailov. He threatens to assault her, warning that he can report her brother whenever he wants. She pulls out a revolver from her pocket and threatens to shoot him if he takes one step closer to her. She claims that Svidrigailov poisoned his wife and says that if he takes one step closer, she will fire. He moves and she shoots, twice, but only grazes him. He tries to embrace her, but as he touches her, he suddenly realises that she hates him.
