(SPEAKS FRENCH)
MIKHAIL: The cargo was
properly aligned.
Not necessarily.
Do you realise
you're talking about sabotage?
REVA: We're looking for proof
of human interference.
Holy fucking shit. I found it.
You said they were dead
and the station was empty.
Then they must have come back.
And no-one can come back from the ISS
without a radar recording their fall.
What are you really looking for?
There - on January 15.
Smack in the middle
of the fall zone.
To the Tower of Silence?
ANNA: That's where Anthony took me.
It was American sabotage
that caused the ISS crash.
S-sabotage?
You're under arrest, Mason.

We should be on site soon.
Who was he?
The man who saved us - who was he?
My brother-in-law.
And also my boss.
You've been married for a long time?
Any children?
We don't really need to chat, OK?
(GRIM MUSIC)
(SIGHS)
What are you really looking for?
Why are you so interested in
these bodies?
'Cause I'm a cop, I guess.
So is your brother-in-law.
(SIGHS)
What about you?
What?
What about you?
Why are you here with me
in this shitty car?
You abducted me, remember?
I don't recall holding a gun
to your head.
Yeah.
I guess I wonder if it's all true.
After the aborted launch,
I was diagnosed with paraphrenia.
The only thing that kept madness
at bay - real madness -
was the awareness that I was sick.
And then these things
started becoming real.
(INHALES DEEPLY)
So I guess I wanna know,
am I the one going bonkers
or is it the world?
Your boyfriend is not on the ISS,
Miss Zaranthi.
Sorry.
He's dead, with the rest of the crew.
Russians did it.
They brought him down.
Then they killed him.
I don't know why.
Then
(TENSE PERCUSSIVE MUSIC BUILDS)
..then they destroyed
the whole station to cover the mess.
Why would they do such a thing?
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
That's why I'm in
this shitty old car with you
driving to the radiation zone.
(GRUNTS SOFTLY)
So maybe, when all is said and done,
we're both bonkers, huh?

MAN: Hmm?
LYDIA: These are two alpha IDs.
You know they are not forgeable.
One of them was issued to
Slavek Doronine.
The other to Anthony Kurz.
They were injected subcutaneously
right before they both went up
to ISS.
But yet,
they were discovered recently
on two bodies found decapitated
in this sector.
Anthony Kurz is aboard the ISS.
You saw him.
We all saw the Starlight images.
Starlight I, an American satellite.
Just as Courier 15
is an American satellite -
the one that happened to be
instrumental
in the sabotage of the ISS.
(SCOFFS)
Does the Russian government
know of this theory?
Of course not. (TUTS)
Now, let me get this right, Lydia.
You're saying that a crew
descended from the station
without you knowing
anything about it
and then got murdered
right before our eyes.
And for some mysterious reason,
the United States decided
to cover it all up
by destroying the ISS.
That's insane.
Now, how do you think your
government's going to react
when my government informs it
of this, your theory?
And who says you will get
a chance to tell them?

Hey.

Hey. I bought it from him.
Would you take us to the entrance?
(INHALES) Uh, you know
..there's a strong wind in steppe.
Radioactive dust
is no good for lungs.
Oh, he's a doctor now.
How much?
Uh, you may take it for free
and I keep the cap.
Uh, but you no go to zone
in car like that.
I drive.
I'm a good driver.

Hey.
What's all this?
The automatic rendezvous system
triggered the crash
using the GPS data
from Courier 15, right?
Yeah.
Well, I think Mason was right.
All it takes to hack into
a clunker like Courier 15
is a powerful radar antenna
and a good relay engineer.
Balkhash and Gilgamesh Osminin
are both of those things.
Are you out of your mind?
Osminin is a legend
in the space program.
He's a pioneer.
Why would he do such a thing?
You know, I went through
the radar data myself.
(SIGHS) Gilgamesh Osminin
went through the trouble
of erasing all the files,
including those of January 15.
Why can't
Reva, stop, OK?
The Americans corrupted the data,
not us.
No, because
(METALLIC CLANG)
..going through Courier 15
was guaranteed to be noticed.
It's like leaving an 'I am guilty'
note at a crime scene.
The Americans don't work that way.
Mikhail
(FLAPS LIPS)
Mikhail!
Anna's disappearance
Whoa
..the murders at Yegorov,
this whole docking fiasco.
Come on, you'd need help
from the inside.
You know what, that's enough!
These people working here, they're
our colleagues and our friends.
Theythey've given their lives
to Mother Russia.
They would never betray her.
Do you understand?
Get home and get some rest.
Go to bed.
Let's stop spinning fairytales.
If none of this is true, then why did
Anna go to Balkhash?
Goodbye, Reva.
(GRIM MUSIC)
(SIGHS)
(TENSE MUSIC)
You're not Russian - that's true.
And you cannot fathom the pride
that we take in this cosmodrome.
I meant no offence.
I'm not blaming you.
(CHUCKLES LIGHTLY)
Quite the opposite.
In fact, it makes you
quite insightful.
You have a perspective that neither I
nor Mikhail nor Emil can have.
Do you believe that
Gilgamesh Osminin
..could have hacked into Courier 15
and caused the accident?
It's only a theory.
I need to ask you a question.
This is a, umstrange one.
Do you think it's possible
the crew returned to Earth
without being noticed?
No.
All celestial objects that
re-enter the Earth's atmosphere,
they're tracked and logged.
Unless
Unless what?
Unless all the radars in the zone
malfunctioned at the same time.
As in
As in the solar flare
last January 15?
There wasno malfunction.
But the flares disrupted the data.
Do you think
..Balkhash might have recorded
traces of a re-entry on 15 January?
That's why Gilgamesh
erased all the data.
Something you should know
..the fire on Mir 25 years ago
was caused by a short circuit.
That short was caused by
electromagnetic disruptions
emanating from
a gigantic solar flare
..like the one on January 15.
And guess what.
Gilgamesh was part of that crew.

MAN: This is about
the rescue mission?
REVA: Yes.
More than 50 years
working at the Cosmodrome.
Didn't think that I'd live through
this kind of tragedy again.
It'll be here, Miss Shripati.
Thank you.
And I'll be praying that
you bring them back alive.

We have to go back to Baikonur.
What?
Wanna die? Two times not enough?
There's nothing here.
Unless I'm missing something.
(DISTANT THUNDER RUMBLES)
They didn't come back.
They're still up there.
There's nothing there.
Your friends are dead.
The ISS is sending us messages.
They are asking for help.
They're calling out for me.
And I'm just down here looking at
(SCOFFS) What?
Forget about the murders?
Theythey're just headless bodies.
Even Kurz at my window was just
..an image I created myself
to pretend that Anthony
did not take my place,
but this is just a fucking fantasy.
It's an illusion.
(SHOUTS) Shut up!
Was my son an illusion?
Was my son an illusion?!
His burnt body just a fantasy?
Huh?
(WIND HOWLS)
They tried to kill me
because I found
their fucking cosmonaut.
They tried to silence me. I
I was doing my job
and they killed my boy!
They killed my little boy!
He was 10 years old.
He did nothing wrong!
(SOBS)
His death is not an illusion!
He's not a fucking image
in your fucking head!
He didn't die for nothing.
Your friends came back.
Some bastards tried
to hide it from us.
I'm gonna find them.
And I'm gonna kill them.
That Gilga, he lied to us.
He sent us here on purpose
(PHONE RINGS)

He knows more than you think.

Yes, well, the future does depend
on it. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Um, I'm sorry to leave this
like this.
(SPEAKS RUSSIAN)
You were right. It's the same story.
In 1997, the Eternity mission
was interrupted by a solar flare
that caused the fire.
These storms happen every 25 years.
The crew evacuated Mir,
and yet even after the evacuation,
the data from the station
continued to indicate
that there was a presence on board,
as if someone oror something
had stayed behind.
Echoes maybe.
No, believe me,
at the moment they evacuated,
they were not alone.
(METALLIC TAP)

REVA: There's something else.
I think I'm being followed.
Where are you?

He says that, um,
the storm will end tomorrow.
And you must leave early
because the land is poisoned.
If the land is poisoned,
why does he live here?
When they dropped the bomb,
there was a brightlike a sun.
But it was black sun.
And he lost his whole family
from radiation.
And many people died here
because of the radiation.
So he's the last one.
But he stays here for his wife.
His wife didn't die?
She died here, but live over there.
Not far.
At night, he hears her singing
and he starts singing with her,
and their voices respond
to each other.

I'm sorry about earlier.
For your son. I didn't know.
You couldn't have known.
It's my fault.
I should not have brought you here.
But you saved my life.
I owe you that much.
You really think they're still alive?
It's strange.
I only knew Kurz for a few days.
But it's as though we were bonded.
And I can still feel the bond
is not broken.
He's alive.
Is this the doctor speaking?
(SNORTS)
(WHISPERS) It's absurd.
(SIGHS) You would make good friends
with my partner, Chingiz.
He, um, also believed in Santa Claus.
So it's true - you
..won't believe in anything.
(SIGHS) My mother,
she was like this man.
She believed in spirits.
Sheprayed to the mountains,
to the land.
Talking with the flowers
in the morning.
I talk to flowers.
She didn't accept our modern things,
like medicine.
And she died at my age.
Yes, I do believe in something.
I believe in science.
I believe in, uh, evidence.
I'm a cop. I believe in
I believe in antibiotics.
(CHUCKLES)
So if there is Santa Claus
..it just means
I never get my presents.

..could have hacked into Courier 15
and caused the accident?
It's only a theory.
I need to ask you a question.
This is a, umstrange one.
Do you think it's possible
the crew returned to Earth
without being noticed?
No.
All celestial objects that
re-enter the Earth's atmosphere,
they're tracked and logged.
Unless
Unless what?
Unless all the radars in the zone
malfunctioned at the same time.
As in
As in the solar flare
last January 15?
There wasno malfunction.
But the flares disrupted the data.
Do you think
..Balkhash might have recorded
traces of a re-entry on 15 January?
That's why Gilgamesh
erased all the data.
Something you should know
..the fire on Mir 25 years ago
was caused by a short circuit.
That short was caused by
electromagnetic disruptions
emanating from
a gigantic solar flare
..like the one on January 15.
And guess what.
Gilgamesh was part of that crew.

It'll be here, Miss Shripati.
Thank you.
And I'll be praying that
you bring them back alive.

They're still up there.
There's nothing there.
Your friends are dead.
The ISS is sending us messages.
They are asking for help.
They're calling out for me.
And I'm just down here looking at
(SCOFFS) What?
Forget about the murders?
Theythey're just headless bodies.
Even Kurz at my window was just
..an image I created myself
to pretend that Anthony
did not take my place,
but this is just a fucking fantasy.
It's an illusion.
(SHOUTS) Shut up!
Was my son an illusion?
Was my son an illusion?!
His burnt body just a fantasy?
Huh?
(WIND HOWLS)
They tried to kill me
because I found
their fucking cosmonaut.
They tried to silence me. I
I was doing my job
and they killed my boy!
They killed my little boy!
He was 10 years old.
He did nothing wrong!
(SOBS)
His death is not an illusion!
He's not a fucking image
in your fucking head!
He didn't die for nothing.
Your friends came back.
Some bastards tried
to hide it from us.
I'm gonna find them.
And I'm gonna kill them.
That Gilga, he lied to us.
He sent us here on purpose

(SPEAKS RUSSIAN)
You were right. It's the same story.
In 1997, the Eternity mission
was interrupted by a solar flare
that caused the fire.
These storms happen every 25 years.
The crew evacuated Mir,
and yet even after the evacuation,
the data from the station
continued to indicate
that there was a presence on board,
as if someone oror something
had stayed behind.
Echoes maybe.
No, believe me,
at the moment they evacuated,
they were not alone.

He says that, um,
the storm will end tomorrow.
And you must leave early
because the land is poisoned.
If the land is poisoned,
why does he live here?
When they dropped the bomb,
there was a brightlike a sun.
But it was black sun.
And he lost his whole family
from radiation.
And many people died here
because of the radiation.
So he's the last one.
But he stays here for his wife.
His wife didn't die?
She died here, but live over there.
Not far.
At night, he hears her singing
and he starts singing with her,
and their voices respond

I'm sorry about earlier.
For your son. I didn't know.

It's my fault.
I should not have brought you here.
But you saved my life.
I owe you that much.
You really think they're still alive?
It's strange.
I only knew Kurz for a few days.
But it's as though we were bonded.
And I can still feel the bond
is not broken.
He's alive.
Is this the doctor speaking?

(WHISPERS) It's absurd.
(SIGHS) You would make good friends
with my partner, Chingiz.
He, um, also believed in Santa Claus.
So it's true - you

(SIGHS) My mother,
she was like this man.
She believed in spirits.
Sheprayed to the mountains,
to the land.
Talking with the flowers
in the morning.
I talk to flowers.
She didn't accept our modern things,
like medicine.
And she died at my age.
Yes, I do believe in something.
I believe in science.
I believe in, uh, evidence.
I'm a cop. I believe in
I believe in antibiotics.
