day would come as he slowly walks toward his execution. Beria, being cynical, knows that the press will label him a traitor and remarks about how much power the Party wields by fabricating the truth. Elsewhere, during a concert, Maria jokes to one of the musicians about two NKVD officers being happy at Beria's execution because he raped both of their daughters, to the discomfort of her associates. Before the firing squad executes Beria, his final thought is: "They've washed their hands in my blood and now they want to start afresh, to look ahead towards a Glorious Future."
