my mother and I loved to sit

just like this.

To dream that we are not alone, in the whole universe,

that the stars are the eyes of the angels

who are watching over us.

But when my mother got sick, none of them helped.

That's when I realized that no one is out there.

Only silence, emptiness

and the cold.

Okay, let's go.

- Throughout the ages,

meteor showers have scared people.

We now know that visitors broke through our atmosphere.

Before that it was thought that

boulders from outer space

were firmly associated the wrath of God himself.

- So, does he like you?

- People were frightened...

- Why won't you tell me?

I'm going to find myself someone too

and then I won't tell you anything.

- What do you mean nothing?

How's it going between you two?

Where are you? How are you? La-La-La...

I mean, if that kind of a Romeo appeared in my life,

I would just run away from home.

except that Tyoma thinks that "Romeo" is a kind of car.

Good morning. How'd you sleep?

If someone tells me where the last meteor shower

of such power was,

The most terrifying events in history happen

Because of a meteor shower.

A crusade started, one of the bloodiest ever.

can't even compare with the one that will happen tonight.

He wants to see the crash site.

- All the attention of international agencies

at this time is focused on the events

in the South of Moscow.

We managed to get a hold of the Deputy of the state

Duma Mikhail Paleskin,

who plans to personally inspect the scene.

Mikhail, what is your current location

and what is really happening there?

- Right now I'm moving to the crash site.

At this time we don't have any reason to believe

that we are dealing with an object

of extraterrestrial origin but, uh....

...I think, if this fact is qualified,

This contact will go down in history.

- Seventeen crews on the spot,

another 3 at the entrance to Chertanovo.

[siren wailing]

- Of course it is unsafe.

You never know what could be inside this thing.

There might be a nuclear reactor inside there

and we'll get a second Chernobyl.

- Why were you the one chosen to make contact?

Was it a collective decision?

- No, I volunteered, and the Defense Secretary

agreed with the idea to send me.

Hello, hello, are you there?

Has the signal been jammed?

Can you stop whenever there's a connection?

- No.

I'm on television right now, you know.

- Mikhail Paleskin, can you hear us?

Unfortunately, the connection was lost.

Let me remind you that about an hour ago

in the Metropolitan District, an emergency occurred:

an unidentified flying object fell onto residential buildings.

The number of victims of this tragedy

has yet to be accounted for.

Right now, representatives of the Atlantic Alliance

are in correspondence with Moscow,

hoping to also gain access to the crash site

of the object.

For now, experts are afraid to confirm the words

of eyewitnesses

that what is happening has the hallmarks

of an alien invasion,

and yet, from different parts of the world

we are receiving information about improving

the combat readiness of the armed forces.

At this time, the streets surrounding the crash site

of the facility are all cordoned off.

Representatives of the defense Ministry have so far

refused to comment,

but locals report that military groups

have begun to approach the strange ball.

Combat helicopters are also monitoring the object.

[over radio] - All teams gather damage reports.

Over.

[over radio] - Radiation levels report?

Not harmful to humans. Out.

Uh, we are ready to engage in cooperation with you.

what did you see, feel, and think?

- They asked us not to approach.

They said that we can avoid further casualties

if we just let them finish the repairs

and leave the planet.

- And what do you mean by that, did they speak?

- No, but I understood.

- What language did they speak to you in?

- In English.

- What do they mean, "avoid casualties"?

Is that a threat? - Don't think so.

They're not very emotional.

- Did anyone else hear this conversation you had?

Did Paleskin? - No, he's in intensive care.

He had a pacemaker,

any electronics near the ship are rendered worthless.

- I'm sorry,

but what's stopping us from carrying out an assault?

- Yes, I support that! We shot down their aircraft?

It shouldn't be a problem to finish them off.

- if we hadn't attacked,

there wouldn't be any victims now.

- So, what do you suggest?

- We wait,

observe, nothing more.

The main thing is not to provoke aggression.

- We'll wait.

- For the last three days media outlets worldwide--

- For what is now the third day,

all news outlets have their attention focused

on the events in Moscow.

A international group of experts

is observing the object.

The UN Security Council has expressed its fears

around the incident in Moscow.

A representative of the United States has called

for the immediate availability

of general access to the object's alleged crash site.

However, the suggestion was blocked.

[indistinct radio chatter]

- Me and Rus went to the same kindergarten.

We've been together our whole lives!

One time, they sent us to summer camp.

We were ten years old, just kids.

There was a mountain river, a cliff.

Everyone was afraid to jump off.

Well, I decided to show off in front of the girls.

Ran and jumped off.

The current was wild.

Landed in the water and got swept away.

My legs cramped up from the cold.

And Rus jumped in and he had no idea how to swim.

To save me.

Who the hell knows what was going through his head.

He wasn't really thinking.

You know Rus.

Finally, I had to pull him out.

We spent the whole day laughing about it.

And today I lost a friend.

A lot of people here have lost someone.

- I lost a cousin!

- My son was killed.

- Slava Porogov from the ninth floor,

they still haven't found his body.

- And what have they done?!

Built a damn fence!

Stuck some barbed wire on the top!

The army's there with machine guns to defend them,

not us.

I say to hell with them!

Seventy or eighty Earth years.

- [exhales]

- And him? - Hakon would have lived forever,

but he gave his life to her.

That is not an accurate translation.

- Why did he do that?

- From my point of view,

this is a chain of random events

with a low probability rate.

You call it fate.

- So he didn't fly here alone, did he?

Where are the others?

- The others do not know where he went.

Your planet is prohibited for public visiting.

- Why is that? - Extremely aggressive social environment.

Despite the near-perfect climate,

four billion violent deaths

over the past five thousand years.

During this same period,

approximately fifteen thousand major military conflicts.

Complete depletion of natural resources

and extinction of humanity will occur

barely six hundred years from now.

- And I see you're all planning on living forever,

is that right? - We plan to observe.

Contact with undeveloped civilizations

only accelerates their destruction.

Hakon wanted to gather information

and prove that you are ready for contact,

but the mission's results are negative.

- So, there won't be any more attempts?

- There is one factor that could provoke a change

in the prognosis.

- What's that?

- She is the factor.

Her decisions defy analysis.

I don't understand why she saved Hakon.

And why Hakon decided that she should live instead of him.

That is not an accurate translation.

Now I will have to review the results of the mission.

That will effect both of our futures.

I have to relay to everyone else

what it is that Hakon understood.

- What did he understand?

- Perhaps there is something more important

than immortality.

That is an accurate translation.

Scientists will puzzle over the water engines
