All language subtitles for Solaris.2002.720p.BluRay.x264-VETO

Chris, what is it?

I love you so much.

Don't you love me anymore?

I've made progress,
and I recognize that.

But my wife, who I...

I can't even convince
to come here, to...

Anything can set her off.

It could be the phone ringing,

something on the news,
something online,

going shopping, maybe,

a commemorative T-shirt
hanging in the window.

It just puts her
right back in that place.

And it's like all my
progress... ripped away.

And I'm, I'm right
back there with her.

And I feel totally the opposite.

I see the TV,
and I see the Internet...

and I see those T-shirts,
and I feel nothing.

The more I see the images,
the less I feel,

the less I believe that it's real.

I... mean, I think I'm supposed
to feel something by now.

Don't you think so?

Linda, this is Chris Kelvin.

I'm returning your call.

I have two times available this week.

7:00 a.m. on Tuesday
or 6:15 p.m. on Thursday.

You can leave a message

if either of those times
are good for you.

Thank you.

Well, I know that's not true.

I'm... Because I know you,
and I know it's not true.

Good. Well, I'm glad.

Uh, all right.

Let's pick this up on Wednesday.

Ow.

May I help you?

We're looking for Dr. Chris Kelvin.

Chris...

I can't imagine what
you must be thinking...

getting a message like this.

I apologize if it seems melodramatic,

but you are the only person
I can... I can trust...

in the situation.

I need your help.

I need you to come
to Solaris, Chris.

I don't know how to describe
what we are experiencing up here.

We can't even agree
amongst ourselves what is...

What is happening or...

what to do about it.

I suppose the, the most
o... obvious solution

would be to leave,
but none of us want to.

That's why you're getting this...
Mmm... this bizarre request.

I...

I told the crew that your
background and experiences

made you the-the ideal
candidate for this job.

Don't worry.
I didn't elaborate.

But it's true.

So, anyway...

um...

I, uh, I hope you will come
to Solaris, Chris.

I, I think you need to.

Y-You will see what I mean.

I wish I could be more specific
about all of this, but, uh...

but, you know...

people are listening.

You can imagine the distress

Dr. Gibarian's message caused at DBA.

Why not send in the security force?

We did.

We lost contact as they were
approaching Solaris.

They haven't returned.

There must be some sort of
on-board AI system.

They shut it down.

The company was hoping
to solve this problem

without involving a civilian.

But, obviously, these
are extreme circumstances.

There'll be some amount
of preparation involved

but you shouldn't
have any trouble.

The flight itself
is fully automated.

You'll be asleep
most of the trip.

We feel confident that if
you can manage to board the ship,

you can negotiate their safe return.

Is that what everybody wants?

Of course.

Kelvin, right.

Agh, man.

Sorry about that, Kelvin.

It's just...

names, you know, just

for some reason, it's, uh...

yeah, um...

Well, uh, you want to come in?

I'm fine.

Whose blood is that
leading to the lab?

Yeah, blood.

How 'bout that?

Uh...

Coutard.

He, um... yeah.

Security forces showed up

and he just
took off, and they...

yeah, put a hole in his pod.

What happened to Gibarian?

Yeah.

It was a suicide.

Who found him?

I found him.

What happened to Reese?

Yeah, now, Reese, ooh, uh-huh.

We don't know, because the thing
is, is he kinda... disappeared.

Disappeared?
Disappeared.

How did he disappear?

Exactly.

Don't know.

We do know that he's not on the ship.

Uh, and that's...

that's all we know.

Where's Dr. Gordon?

Dr. Gordon, she is...

in her room and, um...

Dr. Gordon won't let you
in her room.

No.

Can you tell me
what's happening here?

I could tell you
what's happening, but, uh...

I don't know if that'd really
tell you what's happening.

I just want to talk to you.

You have to give me your word
you won't try to come in.

All right.

Well?

What happened to Gibarian?

Didn't you talk to Snow?

I wanted to hear your version.

There isn't any "version."

He killed himself.

Why haven't you come home?

What happened here?

What did you find?

Who are you representing exactly?

I represent the last effort
to recover this mission

before they abandon this ship
and everyone on board.

Until it starts happening to you...

there's really no point in discussing it.

Hey.

Hey!

Who else is here?

Who else is here?

I saw a boy.

Gibarian's son...

Michael.

How is that possible?

I think that's why you're here.

I want to conduct a formal
interview with you and Gordon.

I'll need your help with her.

Yeah. All right.

Um...
how much sleep you need, Kelvin?

How much sleep?

Yeah. Uh, how long you think
you can go without sleep?

It depends.

Well, when you do go to sleep...

I find I sleep much better
with the door locked.

I was with the project
when it was still with NASA

before it was sold to DBA.

I was trained in physics.

I was sent here to assess the
economic potential of Solaris,

whether or not it was
a viable commercial property

or possible energy source.

I was still compiling data when
this shit started happening.

Did you run any tests
on the ship?

The food? The air?
The water?

I checked it 50 times.
There are no signs of any contaminants

or psychotropic compounds.

How about you?
How are you doing?

Depression...

along with bouts of hypomania
and primary insomnia...

suggestions of agoraphobia,
obsessive-compulsive disorder...

Shock, fatigue, denial...

Mm, none of which is unusual
given the circumstances.

I know.

All right. Now, what can you tell me

about what's happening here?

Just that I want it to stop.

But I want to stop it.

If I can stop it, that means
I'm smarter than it is.

You know, you can go home...

walk away from all of this.

I can guarantee it.

Yeah.

The thing is, is...

Man, I would kill
to go back to Earth.

Kill.

But, Gordon...

Gordon happens to be Gordon.

You know? So...

But I'll see what I can do.

We take off into the cosmos...

ready for anything.

Solitude, hardship,
exhaustion... death.

We're proud of ourselves.

But when you think about it,
our enthusiasm's a sham.

We don't want other worlds.

We want mirrors.

So, anyway...

Anyway...

How's the spawn?
Oh, good, good.

He cries and shits in his
pants every two hours.

I know the feeling.

When are you leaving?

We've been postponed again.

I didn't hear that.
Oh, nobody knows yet.

The rumor is, the governments
are looking for a buyer.

I wish we could tell people

what we think is happening up there.

You can tell me.
I'm a doctor.

Well, Doctor,
as we study Solaris

the most interesting thing is,
it, um...

well, it-it seems to be reacting,

almost like it knows
it's being observed.

We can't explain it.

Are you listening
to me? Chris?

So, anyway...

So, anyway. Sorry.

So, go to her.
Her name is Rheya.

She's a bit tricky, but, um,
I guess she's worthwhile.

Maybe she needs a shrink.

Don't we all?

Don't blow it.

You start.

I did.

Really?

All right, I'm going
to resist the impulse

to ask you about the doorknob.

Do you always resist
your impulses?

Not always.

Try poetry.

"And death shall have
no dominion."

Mm. Thomas.

It's not a very happy poem, though.

Well, you didn't seem
very happy

when I saw you on the train.

I wasn't.

And tonight?

It's early.

Goddamn it!

I'm awake.

Yes.

How are you here?

How are you here?

How do you mean?

Where do you think you are?

Where do you think
you are right now?

At home?

Where is home?

With you, where we live.

And do you remember being
anywhere else with me?

Do you remember being
together anywhere else?

Our apartment.

Describe it.

It's dark. It's very, very dark.

And there are no paintings
on the wall.

No pictures anywhere.

No pictures on the fridge, even,

which I always thought
was a bit strange.

Do you remember
where we first saw each other?

On a train.

Chris.

I'm so happy to see you.

I love you so much.

Don't you love me anymore?

I have to check out something
with the crew.

No!

No! Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!

Why? Why?

Why?

I don't know.

I don't know.

It's okay.
It's okay.

Why are you sitting over there?

Can I come and sit with you?

Hey.

What was that?

Yeah. How about that?

Still working on that.

Where is your visitor?

I don't know.
He stopped appearing.

Who is your visitor?

My brother.

Who was it?

My wife.

Dead?

So, what was her name?

Will she come back?

Do you want her to?

No, it isn't.

Yes, it is.
No, it isn't.

Well, there's one way to find out.
It's crap.

You can submit it to someone,
see if they publish it.

That's not an indication
of anything

except whether it's commercial.

Oh, so no one else's opinion
counts except for yours?

Yeah.
That's insane.

That's insane.
Yeah.I like it.

Brings out the red in my eyes.

So, did you show it to your father?

Yeah.
And?

And he liked it.
What'd he say?

He said he liked it.

Well... he's a man

who doesn't pass out
compliments very easily.

That's something.

What's that tell you?

Can we talk about
something else, please?

Anything else.
All right.

When do you want
to get hitched?

Every time I bring it up

you make a joke about it, and...

I know, I know.
That's pathe... I'm sorry.

It's just...
It-It's so difficult for me.

Still.

It...is it something that I'm not doing?
No. No, no, no.

That's not the issue at all.

Because you know, if...
you keep putting this off

then, uh, 15 or 20 years,
I'm just going to stop asking.

Well, I've got ages then.
Yeah.

So... apart from the poem
that you quoted to me

the night that we met...
Mm-hmm.

The night that you were hitting on me?
That night?

Uh, I, I don't think so.
What's your favorite poem?

My favorite Dylan Thomas poem?
Mm-hmm.

Well, there's the, uh...

there's th-this, we have the,
uh... there's the...

Well, there's the one
he's most famous for...

which starts, uh... eh...

"There was a young man
from Nantucket..."

I knew it.
I just...

I'm not marrying you.

You...

Oh, oh, you're marrying me.

Would we have
to invite anyone else?

There should be witnesses.

Otherwise, nobody'd believe us.

When I was little,
I had this imaginary friend

called Micachelli, okay?

He used to live under the wallpaper

in the corner of the room.

Right.
And I used to go and visit.

I had a very intense relationship.

I was an only child...
as you know.

And, um, that was
like my sibling.

You know, it was the person
I used to have battles with

and fights with,
and everything, and...

what happened progressively
over the next few years

is that my mother stopped
communicating with me.

She only communicated
with me as Micachelli

and wrote me these letters.

And we didn't have
conversations anymore.

I mean, admittedly,
she was certifiable.

Mm-hmm.
But, um, that was...

That was a strange
way to grow up.

You know, you're,
you're with the right man.

I so know that.
That's what's great.

Because, man...

Rheya?

It's me. It's me.

I don't remember that.

When did you get that?

I got it just before I came here.

Was I with you?

No.

I don't actually remember anything.

I only remember you.

Have I been ill?

Sort of.

And we've been apart?

Yes.

For how long?

A few years.

Were you alone?
Yes.

Was that difficult?

It was easier than being
with someone else.

Did you think about me?

Yes.

What is that out there?

Solaris.

Oh, my God, yes.

I can't remember how I got here.

Did I come here with you?

I don't know how you got here.

What do you mean?

I woke up and you were here.

So I wasn't here yesterday?

No.

Right.

Getting dressed?

People will notice tonight...

if you're not there, Rheya.

People will notice.

I can put up with
all of it, you know?

The mood swings,
and the... restlessness

and changing jobs every
three months, all of it.

What I can't put up with
is you hiding from me.

Why do you do that?

D-Do you want to be here?

Because I need help.

I can't do this...

I can't continue
to do this on my own.

The whole, the whole idea
of God was dreamed up by man.

Silly little animal
with a small brain.

Even, even the limits that
we put on it are human limits.

It designs, it creates.
It can do this. It can do that.

No, I am talking about
a higher form of intelligence.

Uh, no, no,
now, hold it.

No, you're talking
about something else.

You're talking about the man
in a white beard again.

Yeah.
You are ascribing

human characteristics
to something that isn't human.

Now, we are all looking
for causes and patterns.

Rheya, given all the elements

of the known universe, and enough time
our existence is inevitable.

It's no more mysterious
than trees or sharks.

We're a mathematical probability
and that's all.

How do you explain that of all the
billions of creatures on this planet

we are the only ones who are
conscious of our own mortality?

You can't explain that.
That doesn't mean there's God.

Exactly.
That doesn't mean there isn't.

Maybe religion
has been bred into us.

Oh, well, what do you mean?

The Pope is a wonderful woman.

Excuse me.

A nihilistic shrink.
Is there a school?

Not yet.

You see, he's funny
at least.

Where you been?

Away from those fucking people.

They're my friends.

Yeah.

Chris, I have got
to talk to you.

What's wrong?

I don't understand what's happening.

A-And if I do understand
what's happening,

then I don't think I can handle it.

What do you mean?

I mean...

I mean...

I'm not the person I remember.

Or at least, I'm not sure I am.

I mean, I-I do remember things

but... I don't remember
being there.

I don't remember
experiencing those things.

I'm really, really...

really, really
trying to understand.

And, and these, uh...

these, these strange thoughts
keep coming into my head

and I... I don't know
where they're coming from.

And I'm scared.

Um, and I... I don't know
what's happening.

I-I don't know what's happening.

Wh-What do you think's happening?

You need some rest.
No, I...

I want you to take that.

No, no,
y-you don't understand.

Because I don't think
that I can live with this.

I don't understand
what is happening now.

And this, this, this,
I remember this.

I have a memory of it, but...

But I don't, I don't remember
seeing it, and I don't...

I don't remember
being there. I...

Rheya, it's fatigue.
It's fatigue.

It's brought on by stress.
It's fatigue.

That's why you take this.

Right. Yeah.

No, it is.
You're going to be fine.

I'm going to talk to Gordon and Snow.
We're going to go back to Earth.

Mm-hmm.
And you're going to be fine.

Mm-hmm.

Mmm.

I'm coming right back.

Right.
Are you going to be all right here?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

This door locks from the inside.

Yeah.
You'll be perfectly safe in here.

Yeah.

You sure you're going to be all right?

Y-You keep asking me that,
actually.

Yes. Yeah.
I-I'm fine. I'm fine.

Stay here.

I was so worried,
man...about this guy.

But then I, you show up,

and I'm even more,
more worried about you.

Particularly after the first,
when you...sent the first one away.

Yeah, you were pretty...
Pretty dow...

You deserved to be
as freaked out as you were.

She can never know anything about that, ever.
You understand?

No, no, no, no, no.

I wonder if they can get pregnant.

Where are you going?

- I can't be here.
- What?

You should have told me.

It wouldn't have made any difference.
Really?

Chris, I had to. Obviously, I had to.
You know that about me.

I had no idea you'd react like this.

Listen. Listen to me.

What's changed? What...
I didn't even know you wanted one.

Yeah, why would I want one?
Why would I want a child?

Why would I want anything that
would bring life into this house!

No, no, Chris. No.
Stop it. Stop it!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Stop it. Stop it! Stop it!

No, Chris, you don't understand.

Listen, Chr...
Listen, there's something you have to understand.

I had no idea you felt like that.
Stop it.

Please, 'cause
I won't make it without you.

Stop. Then you
won't make it.

Chris, no, please.

Then you won't make it.
Let go of me!

No!

Oh, my God.

Oh, no...

You want to change
Gordon's mind.

What if Gordon and your wife,
right, your very nice wife...

She's nice, right?

She's... Of course she's nice.

Your wife is nice.
They get together, right?

'Cause I'm thinking...
women, right?

Right now, we got
woman and woman, right?

W... if we get women, you know,
together on the same team

and all that shit, what happens?

You know what happens.

All kinds of shit you can't
explain happens, you know?

Like, the, but good shit,
you know?

Mysterious, but good.
Usually very good.Things get solved.

You know, so that's my plan
and what do you think?

I'll have to think about that.

"And death shall have
no dominion.

"Dead men naked,
they shall be one...

"with the man in the wind
and the west moon;

"When their bones are picked
clean and the clean bones gone

"They shall have stars
at elbow and foot;

"Though they go mad,
they shall be sane;

"Though they sink through the sea;

"They shall rise again;

"Though lovers be lost love shall not;

And death shall have no dominion."

You found me.

I came back for you.

I came back that day.

I'm sorry.

All right.
Enough hypothesizing.

The visitors...
Are they or are they not

made of subatomic particles?

Subatomic particles,
I'm not sure.

What do you think?

I think probably.

Stabilized by what?

Guess.

I don't know.
Maybe... Higgs field.

So, if we created
a negative Higgs field

and bombarded them with a stream

of Higgs anti-bosons,
they might disintegrate.

Maybe.

You know, it would take
a lot of power.

We'll shut down all the noncritical
ship functions.

This is just a theory, you know.

Wha... uh,
we could be wrong.

Let's find out.

We'll take the findings
back to Earth.

What if they follow us back?

What if what's happening here started
happening on Earth on a mass scale?

Don't you see that as a problem?

I think it's a serious mistake
to assume it's benign.

For all we know,
it's driving us crazy

so it can watch us
kill each other.

Is that really
why you think they're here?

Given its resources, it could've
done anything including destroy us.

Meet me in the lab in an hour.

I won't let you do it.
How are you going to stop us?

How are you going to stop me
from taking her back?

Should we pick up the other one
on the way?

It shouldn't be too hard.

We could chart its course.
Only take a day or so.

Chris, what's she talking about?

Nothing.

Her oxygen might have run out.

Maybe they don't need any.

Chris, what are they talking about?

You didn't tell her?

Tell me what?

Tell me what?

You came before.

He got rid of you.

You what?

I sent you away...

into space.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

No. Rheya.

Oh, don't, don't touch me.

Rheya, I didn't understand.

Rheya.
Rheya. Hey, don't.

No, no, no.

Don't touch me.

What were you trying to accomplish
with that exactly?

Kelvin.

It is a mistake to become
emotionally engaged with one of them.

You're being manipulated.

If she were ugly,
you wouldn't want her around.

That's why she's not ugly.

She's a mirror that reflects part of
your mind.You provide the formula.

She's alive.

She is not human.
Try to understand that

if you can understand anything.

What about your visitor?

The one that you're so ready
to destroy without hesitation.

Who is it? What is it?

Does it feel? Can it touch?

Does it speak?

We are in a situation
that is beyond morality. Hmm?

Your wife is dead.

How do you know that?
How can you be so definitive

about a construct that you
do not understand!

She's a copy... a facsimile.

And she's seducing you
all over again.

You're sick!

We are not taking her back
with us.

Leave the light off.

You think you're dreaming me.

You're not Gibarian.

No?

Who am I then?

A puppet.
And you're not?

Or maybe you're my puppet.

But like all puppets, you think
you're actually human.

It's the puppet's dream...
being human.

Why did you kill yourself?

Well, it seemed
like a good idea at the time.

Now I think I made a mistake.

What about your son?

That's not my son.
My son is on Earth.

And that's not your wife.

They are part of Solaris.
Remember that.

What does Solaris want from us?

Why do you think
it has to want something?

This is why you have to leave.

If you keep thinking
there's a solution...

you'll die here.

I can't leave her.

I'll figure it out.

Do you understand what
I'm trying to tell you?

There are no answers,
only choices.

Rheya?

Rheya?

Rheya?

Rheya?

Gordon!

What happened?

She drank liquid oxygen.

She's dead.

No.

I never get used to them.

These... resurrections.

Oh, no.

No.

Why'd you do that?

Rheya?

Don't call me that.

There are two components.

A high-energy proton accelerator
and a matter-phase modulator.

By adjusting the tuning frequency

I get an enhancement of Higgs
anti-bosons at 90 gigahertz

and an almost pure beam
at 160 gigahertz.

I used it on mine.

What happens?

They disappear,
back where they came from.

It's what she wants.

I won't let her do it.

She'll come to me
when you're asleep.

Then I won't sleep.

Don't you see?

I came from your memory of her.
That's the problem.

I'm not a whole person.

In your memory
you get to control everything.

So, even if you remember

something wrong, I am
predetermined to carry it out.

I'm suicidal because
that's how you remember me.

My voice sounds the way it does
because that's how you remember it.

I don't believe that we're
predetermined to relive our past.

I think that we can choose
to do it differently.

The day I left and you said that
you wouldn't make it.

I didn't hear you because I was angry.

This is my chance
to undo that mistake,

and I need you to help me.

But am I really Rheya?

I don't know anymore.

All I see is you.

All I see is you.

It created me...

and yet,
I can't communicate with it.

It must hear me, though.

It must know
what's happening to me.

And you and I,
we would have to have some kind of...

an arrangement, some kind of...

unspoken understanding

that I'm not really a human being.

No, Rheya.

Chris...

Chris, I wish you would just
let them use the device on me.

And then you can go back to Earth

and you can tell everybody
all about Solaris.

No.

It's the only solution
that makes any sense.

We could never have a life
together on Earth, Chris.

You know that.

It... it would be impossible.

And this?
What kind of life is this?

Trapped here.

It's not a life.

I-I don't know what to call it.

It's what we have.

It's enough for me.

You need to rest.

Going to make yourself ill.

I don't care.

Just lie down for a moment.

Please, Chris,

you've...
You have to rest.

But you know that I'm not human

so I don't understand
what you're afraid of.

Of course
you can use the device on me.

It's not murder.
You said that yourself.

You're the one who put the idea
into my mind in the first place.

Chris doesn't trust me anymore.

He won't let me even
leave the room.

Chris, don't blame Gordon.

It's not her fault.
I begged her to do it.

It's better this way.

I found the suicide note.

I went through your things.

The page torn from the book of poems.

And I realized...

I'm not her.

I'm not Rheya.

I know you loved me, though.

I know that.
I felt that.

And I love you.

I wish we could just live
inside that feeling forever.

Maybe there's a place where we can.

But I know it's not on Earth,

and it's not on this ship.

That's all I can say right now.

You killed her!
Not her. It.

It's murder!
Kelvin, she begged me.It was instantaneous.

It wasn't painful.
She'll be back!

No, she won't.
Why would you let her do it!

Kelvin, it's not human!

Whatever it is,it's not human,
and I'm threatened by that!

And I want to win.
I want humans to win.

Whose side are you on?

What are you doing?

I'm putting the AI back online.
I'm going home.

Gordon?

Gordon!

I knew it.

How long do you think
he's been dead?

Hard to say because of the cold.

He attacked me.

There I am...
Somehow, there I am...

And I couldn't tell you...
couldn't tell you how I'm there

or who I am, or what's going on,

but before I can get to that,

what's this over here...
coming at me?

What... What are you
trying to do?

Oh, I see...
you're trying to kill me.

Yeah, confuse me.
I'll tell you about some confusing.

How about bingo?
There you are.

And, whoop,
there's my welcoming committee

and you dropped your knife,
and it's a good night.

And, oh, by the way,
uh, after all that,

I find out, this,
uh... whoever this is...

get my first good look in,
and it happens to be...

I survived the first 30 seconds
of this b-b... life...

Whatever you want to call it...
By killing someone

and, oh, ah, by killing someone
who happens to be me.

See, most people...I would think most
people in this position would be like.

"This... Ah... mm... ,
I don't know."

However, this is at least...
this is an incredible opportunity.

This is a... what if this
is a... this is a gift?

I'm a gift. Hey.

I say we use
the Higgs device on him.

Mmm... mm-mm... I don't think
you really have time.

Why would you say that?

Well, uh, you know, ever since
we used the famous Higgs device,

Solaris started taking
on mass exponentially.

Um, you might have noticed

how we're a lot closer to it.

Uh, that would be because everything
within its gravitational field,

it's pulling it in.

Uh, and yeah, sorry, by the way,

the Higgs device also
drained the fuel...

Fuel-cell reactors.

Uh, if... can I
make a suggestion?

I'm just... I mean,
this is just...

you can do what you want.

But I would just lock me in here
really tight and take the Athena back.

And wear your seat belt.

Switching to internal power.

Start fuel cell
operational diagnostic.

Status check on LGA.

Coordinating and calibrating
high-gain antenna.

Depressurize and spin
all turbines to standby.

Disengage coupling interlocks...

Vent and seal all main
engine propellant lines.

Earth.

Even the word sounded strange
to me now.

Unfamiliar.

How long had I been gone?

How long had I been back?

Did it matter?

I tried to find the rhythm of
the world where I used to live.

I followed the current.

I was silent, attentive.

I made a conscious effort
to smile...

nod...

stand...

and perform
the millions of gestures

that constitute life on Earth.

I studied these gestures until
they became reflexes again.

But I was haunted by the idea
that I remembered her wrong...

that somehow I was wrong
about everything.

Depressurize and spin
all turbines to standby.

Disengage coupling
interlocks and all...

Vent and seal all main
engine propellant lines.

Rheya!

Rheya!

Rheya! Rheya!

Rheya!

Rheya!

Chris?

Chris?

Wha...

Am I alive... or dead?

We don't have to think
like that anymore.

We're together now.

Everything we've
done is forgiven.

Everything.
