Original subtitles

Wait a second, please.

Yes.

Here's a clean uniform.

lt's time you get out of these clothes.

Hello Billy.

lt's Felix.

l never thought l'd see you here, but l'm sure they must have their reasons.

Welcome home!

l hope we can talk undisturbed.

He's with me now. Yes, l'll keep you posted.

You're aware of the fact that you'll be held responsible for the catastrophe. . .

. . .whether it was an accident or sabotage.

Furthermore, you are accused of espionage.

The facts will be hard to disprove. You've made photos.

They found a film. Who shot it?

And why was it in Eva's possession?

Why are you leading the investigation?

lf you think l enjoy this, you're wrong.

Why do you do it then?

Because l want to help you.

Billy, what did you know about the whole thing?

- l do understand you. - You think so?

You were sucked into it and now you want to play hero. . .

. . .but that will hurt you even more.

They took me off that ship. . .

. . .like l was some hardcore criminal.

l think we know each other long enough, Billy.

l think you should trust me.

You're making everything worse by not talking.

You're standing a chance getting out of this.

l understand. You want an admission of guilt from me, so it will save your neck. . .

. . .but l won't do that.

l think it's just a little too easy for you, and l owe it to Max.

What do you mean?

What do l mean?

Do you think Max would've done it, if he knew it'd be covered up afterwards?

Nobody is covering up anything.

We all carry part of the blame. You, me, and Max as well.

Part of it was destiny and we weren't able to see the consequences. . .

. . .how could we. . .

. . .out there. . .

. . .on Florida Arklab.

Billy, Florida Arklab doesn't exist anymore.

That is our problem.

Project C.O. R.A., control zone delta, jurisdiction Florida Arklab.

lnspection and program for the 1 0th of November.

Captain Hayes, please come in.

Captain Hayes, please come in.

Captain Hayes, do you hear us?

Yes, l'm on my way to Sector B.

Okay, we are tracking you with the radar system.

l'm now in the zero-gravity zone.

l'll talk to you when l'm at the reactor, over.

Okay, copy, over.

lsraeli lntelligence and various correspondents. . .

. . .report a military coup in Saudi-Arabia.

Eben Sadek, major of the Saudi-Arabian Air Force supposedly arrested. . .

. . .air force commander, Ali Ahmed, as well as eleven other officers. . .

. . .in the early morning hours at the Tabul airport near the Egyptian border.

And now to breaking news from our correspondent in Riad.

This military coup seems to. . .

This is RTC, please insert your tape. You will be on the air momentarily.

Copy. l'm almost ready, will wait for your signal.

. . .this concludes our report from Riad.

And now the weather.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five. . .

. . .four, three, two, one - go!

This is Max Marek on Florida Arklab.

A broad cloud cover is moving from the northwest towards central Europe.

Southern Europe and the Alps remain under clear skies.

ln the next few days though, this low will affect the weather here as well.

The low approaching from the west will dominate the weather of central Europe.

Warm and humid air will cause temperatures to rise.

Reactor Segment-2 activated.

Ace, insert control module 4.

That's what l'm doing.

Control module 4 inserted.

Reactor Segment-4 activated.

And now control module 5.

Reactor Segment-5 activated. Reactor ready.

l'm reconnecting the American sector to the reactor and general system.

Okay, get ready for the radiator test.

l'm setting the automatic control.

Countdown is running. Five, four, three, two, one. . .

Everything as scheduled.

Radiator group two.

Countdown is running. Five, four, three, two, one. . .

Felix, l had a bad feeling from the start during this test.

Why was the B-Sector activated just a few days before our departure?

And why couldn't Max know about it?

He was the one responsible.

He was the one leading the program and successfully completing it.

You knew that weather research was the most important thing to Max. . .

. . .his life achievement.

lt was his last time up there, and he was proud of this damned CORA project.

He was probably thinking about his future on this. . .

. . .dark and small planet.

All he cared about were his animals and plants. . .

. . .while l trudged through the B-Sector secretly plotting against him.

To this day l don't know what possessed me to do this.

l guess, too much time up there affected my brain. . .

. . .l didn't see what went on anymore.

By the way, l liked being in the B-Sector.

l don't know if you understand. . . this peace. . .

After each inspection l would go down to the former living quarters. . .

. . .looking at belongings of the previous crew.

You know, all the little things you bring along.

The 5 lbs. of personal memories that you're allowed to take.

This is Felix. . .

. . .would you tell me what you're doing down there? Over.

Why? l'm done with today's tasks.

That doesn't mean you can snoop around down there.

Nobody's snooping.

l'm just looking.

No one asked you to. You are not authorized in the lower living quarters.

l hope l made myself clear.

- Have you heard from Max? - Why?

Listen Billy, Max needs. . .

l clearly remember that it was you who got me into all this trouble.

''Max is not supposed to find out. He is so tense and nervous lately.''

You were right. He was tense and nervous.

Did you smoke again?

But that was no reason to keep the planned radiation burst a secret.

l already had enough problems. He was such a slob.

Most of the time l spent cleaning up after him.

Disgusting. l can't take this pig-sty any longer.

Aren't you looking for Frankie-Boy for a week now?

Max, l got him!

He is skinny.

Come on, say hello to the nice uncle.

You little runaway.

He doesn't look too good.

l don't know what Billy told you, but nothing has been decided yet.

There is talk that l may get this job, you know how important it is for me.

Yes, l know and l am your biggest advocate.

l'm just upset that Billy couldn't keep quiet.

Why? l'm thankful for that.

- We are doing all we can down here. . . - Max, say it again please.

Still looks the same.

Well, if you can't tell there's no need to clean.

l don't have to tell you how long it might take till they make up their mind.

lt would be nice if you'd tell me directly next time.

Of course, Max. l hope Billy didn't tell you any other nonsense.

l want to send a private home service tape for Eva.

Okay, but hurry. We have to send you the latest data of the initial CORA run.

lt's running.

l'm looking forward to seeing you again, Eva.

Unfortunately it will be only for a few days.

l was thinking. . .

. . .we have to change something, because we can't go on like this.

One of us has to finally quit this job.

Florida Arklab, this is the MET project management.

We are now transmitting the evaluation of the initial CORA run.

- Are you ready? - Yes, go ahead.

Listen to the tape.

Tape is running.

This is an infra-red recording from an altitude of1 90 km.

You clearly see the formation of clouds.

A large amount of Cumulus clouds, 30% above average.

l'm switching to automatic recording.

Precipitation is equally. . .

This is fantastic, three days till the weather was back to normal.

- Did you hear the news? - No.

Tell me, do you know what happened in Sector-B?

No.

- You really don't know? - No, l really don't.

What is it officially? Technical defect combined with human failure.

Couldn't be more precise. . .

There is a different version, of course.

Which is?

A reactor accident.

Who says that?

Nobody, of course. But secrecy seems to be in fashion these days.

Rebellious troops are approaching the capital of Riad. . .

. . .where the royal army is preparing itself for the upcoming occupation.

The many bomb victims were buried in mass graves to avoid an epidemic.

Max, come on already!

Man, he's playing cool again.

They just show the same shit over again.

Max!

l don't understand why l like this game.

You lose all the time.

Again.

Now l'll do you in.

You don't have much to lose.

You're wrong my friend. The bunk needs to be cleaned, the shower. . .

Don't forget the toilet or what you left of it.

So this round is for the toilet. That's it!

l almost forgot about the secret radiation test in the B-Sector.

ln the last days political news from Saudi-Arabia was prominent.

The Riad airport hostage situation made us hold our breath just as you.

Though you live up here like on an island, far away from daily life. . .

. . .shipwrecked, looking at the horizon each day. . .

. . .for the end of your imprisonment.

Despite that, l don't understand my blindness.

Why l didn't see those vital signs.

Any child could have seen what your intentions were.

And l was the one setting the table.

The secrecy of the past days must have had a reason.

Our monitor shows reactor Segment-5. Proceeding as planned.

Preparation to operate B-System.

Activate American sector.

Sector-B is being activated. Countdown started.

- Ten, nine, eight, seven. . . - 1 :47 minutes till target coordinates.

. . .four, three, two, one. . .

Hold on, we don't have a control signal from the automatic pilot.

- Switch to outside cameras. - ln position, countdown starts.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six. . .

What's with the radiators?

- They should be open by now! - Yes.

Negative. The radiators did not open.

How about the second radiator group?

Hold on, we'll see them in a sec. . .

1 :1 5 minutes till target coordinates.

You have to alarm the crew. Can you get a hold of Felix?

As the official European representative of the CORA project, it has to be Felix.

Max, hurry up!

Florida Arklab.

This is Felix. lmmediately get all data from lD-code Laurin!

Did you understand? ldentity code Laurin.

What's the problem?

Failure of the auto-control system in the American sector.

The radiators don't open. You have to start radiation manually.

There's no time to re-program!

- What's going on? - Manual initial radiation. l have the data

Marek, Florida Arklab.

Your screen shows the radiation target. lt's an area in the lndian Ocean.

The exact target coordinates are showing.

As soon as Billy switches to manual, you have to open the radiators.

Time is tight, but l'm sure you can make it if you hurry.

Max? Max, do you copy?

Damned shit!

Mr. Marek, are you ready? Mr. Marek?

- Why is this area being radiated? - We don't have time to chat.

Mr. Marek, the countdown has started. You know what to do.

What about Hayes? ls he ready?

One second.

Max, we're ready.

25 seconds, okay.

Marek, extend the radiators.

Felix. . .

l want an answer first. Why is this area being radiated?

Max, don't cause any trouble now. Open the radiators, l'll explain later.

Marek, this is an order!

Have you lost your mind?

Ten seconds.

Radiator 1 extended.

Radiator 2 extended.

They did it. The radiation is in progress.

Slowly, l began to understand. . .

. . .yet the purpose of this operation was still not clear to me. How could it?

l was too busy keeping secret preparations from him.

Radiation exposure: 27 minutes 40 seconds. lntensity: 54 B 7.

We are reducing index by 5 units.

Reduce index by five units.

lnitial radiation reduced.

Max, your coffee.

Thank you.

Exposure to radiation: 28 minutes 30 seconds.

We're reducing the radiation index by 4 more units.

Copy, index reduced by 4 units.

lnitial radiation reduced. We're almost ready.

Radiation stop at 30:00.

Radiation - stop!

Finally.

Deactivate reactor.

- Retract microwave radiators. - Retracting.

lnitial radiation over. All automatic controls non-operational.

Come on, get back down.

Radiator group 1 and 2 retracting.

Florida Arklab, this is the project base.

We thank you for your prompt response and wish you a good night.

You heard it, go back to sleep. We'll talk in the morning.

Felix. . .

Why did we do this radiation?

That's of no interest, we'll talk about it some time.

Felix, l asked you a question and want a damned answer!

Listen closely. You were not supposed to be a part of this.

Just forget about it and stop playing the wild man.

Think about the lasting impression on your future employer. . .

l don't care! Are you blackmailing me?

No, l want to keep you from rash decisions.

Felix, l've been part of this research program for a long time. Now tell me. . .

l am sorry. l have to shut down the connection.

Cut off!

Of course, man.

- They want to go to bed, too. - This is the CORA management. . .

- Something's wrong. - l was listening to your conversation.

You are suspended from your functions until further notice.

All access to results and data will be denied.

l demand that you forget tonight's events.

You're under strict confidentiality. There was no initial radiation!

- l recommend following these orders. - Who am l to take orders from them?

Felix!

Why did you react so harshly? That's what triggered it.

Now, we both started wondering.

Max lead all CORA projects as a scientist. . .

. . .and part of a regular research program.

So, what changed? Only the purpose. . .and the morals.

Suddenly he wasn't needed.

Admit it, Felix.

He was nothing more than a stupid, small risk factor.

Billy, you misjudge my role in this game.

Why are you here, then?

- Because l want to help you. - Stop it, Felix.

Listen, l don't want to hear anymore about it. Don't you get it, down there?

We just want you to keep an eye on him.

Just tell us, if he shows a little too much interest in particular things.

- You know what l'm talking about. - Stop it!

Don't you start trouble, too.

l'm not and l don't want to know!

l'm packing our things and we'll go home.

You don't know what goes on down here since the radiation.

We're not the head of the household up there.

l noticed that. l have to go, Felix.

The end.

Time to clean this mess once again!

Damned shit, man!

Shit!

Billy, where are my clothes?

- l packed them! - You expect me to run around naked?

Hand me back my clothes.

Be careful not to get freezer-burn down there.

l couldn't possibly know about their plans.

You certainly didn't tell me!

- Didn't tell. . . - And l'm not hard of hearing!

Felix made it quite clear. Keep an eye on me.

Then you did hear my answer.

You're lucky.

God, you are funny.

l'm not upset. This matter is too serious.

What're we going to do?

l want to know why this area was a target.

They must have had a reason to risk this intense radiation.

- lt can lead to natural disasters. - But you told them about that.

Yes, l gave them a scientific lecture about the irresponsibility of their doing.

And how do you think they reacted?

With disciplinary proceedings against me.

lmpossible.

Are they out of their mind? ln the last three days. . .

. . .where are the legal instructions from the European space authority.

l looked at it, it's useless. We are being replaced tomorrow, by the way.

Excuse me? Say it again.

l can't understand why you want me to feel any guilt.

One of us should quit their job, you're right.

l'm just surprised that you made this decision without me.

We should have talked about it.

Do you know how frustrating it'll be to wait for me, months and months.

Well, we'd have some weeks between assignments.

But l don't think this will change things for the better.

This won't solve the other problems.

You know, Max, we've just grown apart over the years.

l know it sounds tough, but maybe we should separate.

l don't get it.

What don't you get?

Why the hurry?

They want to get rid of me, as fast as possible.

But why?

l don't know either.

l would be happy if l did.

Maybe they plan another radiation.

Why would l have to watch you, if they didn't?

How did Max find out about the American plans?

l don't know.

l went to bed early that night.

l think he had a home service.

l fell asleep quickly, because l was in a bad mood.

And Max?

He must have found out about something. l don't know what.

He didn't talk to you about it?

Yes, he woke me up and asked me something. . .

. . .mumbling about the CORA initial code l used and how important it was to him.

He probably wanted access to some data.

Did he want the identity code?

The rest he could only assume.

Or did you give him the code?

Max wasn't dumb. He could put two and two together.

lt was a puzzle. Once you have all the pieces you get the picture.

No, it was just a matter of time till Max figured out the game.

lt is 3 o'clock, Friday, November 1 1 th and now the latest news.

Saudi-Arabia:

Last night the American Air Force attempted to free fellow. . .

. . .citizens trapped in Riad. These reports however are not confirmed.

Occupied Riad reported a massive formation. . .

. . .of helicopters flying by. The U.S. however denies these reports.

lnternational satellite authorities state no movement of the U.S.Air Force. . .

. . .in the Middle East or the lndian Ocean.

The U.S. fears a hostage situation.

An increased presence of Soviet and U.S. Navy appeared in the Persian Gulf.

Washington and Moscow warn about interfering in Saudi-Arabian affairs.

Billy.

Billy.

Come on, wake up, Billy.

Why do you wake me up?

Listen to me!

How did you access the data during the radiation?

Did you use a new code?

Billy! Did Felix give you a new code?

Laurin, or something.

lt will be clearly visible. The black stain on the right side of the picture.

lt will be clearly visible. The black stain on the right side of the picture.

What is it?

A recording of an infra-red night satellite.

Understand.

lt records the reflection of the intense heat, but doesn't see beyond.

Exactly, it's like camouflage.

What do you think the guys from reconnaissance told me?

- l can imagine. - And then the Laurin effect. . .

What does the base think of this phenomenon?

Nighttime test radiations need a special permit now.

Monitor shows target area.

Okay, starting radiation. Activate Sector-B.

Target coordinates reached in 1 7 minutes and 20 seconds.

Reactor Segment-1 activated.

Automatic controls engaged.

Five, four, three, two, one. . .

Extend radiators.

Radiator Pair-1 opening.

Three, two, one. . .

Florida Arklab, Hayes.

Billy, listen. They've started another radiation over the American sector.

All manual controls are blocked.

- That cannot be. - Try and stop it, you understand?

Stop the countdown!

Target coordinates reached in 3 minutes 40 seconds.

Countdown running. . . prepare.

Everything's blocked here, too.

- l'm trying to deactivate the reactor. - Hurry, you don't have much time!

Why not stop the reactor?

l'm trying, but all manual controls are blocked. Get off me, Max, we'll make it!

- Reactor Segment-4 active. - Reactor Segment-5 being activated.

Good grief, he wants to enter the reactor!

Shit. Shit!

- Max? - This is Felix, can you hear me?

Oh, God, not that one. . . what is it?

l'm ordering Max to return immediately!

What you're doing up there is sabotage!

Max is at the reactor.

- Billy, talk to him! - Him listening to me?

- You've got to be kidding! - We're starting the radiation code run.

lf Max takes out the control tapes the entire station may go!

Would you be quiet?

Max, do you hear? There's not enough time, we're in the countdown.

The controls will bring the fuel rods to full performance.

Billy, this is insane! Try to stop him!

Shit!

Please, Max, don't do this! You'll kill us!

There will be a meltdown, man!

lf you won't listen, at least hurry, so this joint won't blow up!

l have the 4th Segment. We have 1 5 seconds left. . .

You will make it!

Let's go, man!

He has problems with the 5th Segment. Billy, did you hear?

Shit!

He won't make it! He can't get the tape out!

Tell me what to do!

The manual controls are no longer blocked.

Max, did you hear?

Yes. You have to. . .

Max. . .

Max!

Billy, try to close the radiator to interrupt the energy flow.

l can't retract the radiators with those crazy temperatures!

Billy, do what Max told you!

Oh, now all of a sudden! This shit will blow up for sure!

Max! Max!

Retract the radiators!

Max! Max!

Billy! The high-pressure valve of the cooling system opened up.

Everything alright?

Only my hand is slightly hurt. l'm coming down.

Believe me, l was completely exhausted.

We made it by a razor's edge. Max got lucky.

lt would have been his end, if it wasn't for the safety valve.

First, l only thought about the station.

The thing hissed and sparked at every turn.

Then l realized the consequences of our so-called sabotage.

l still didn't know exactly what went on.

- Yes. - ln what condition is the station?

As good as new.

l want a detailed damage report, am l clear? Over.

Can you get down by yourself?

lt's only my hand.

l'll take care of it.

That doesn't look too good. Let me see if l find bandages.

- Don't move. - They use a radiation side-effect. . .

. . .to deceive international satellite authorities.

They're trying to get their fellow citizens out of Riad unnoticed.

They don't seem to care about exposing the same area over and over.

- You can imagine what that means. - This is crazy, man.

They're messing up an entire climate zone.

Especially the lndian monsoon winds.

Hold still.

But no more. The control tape is jammed.

lf they try to activate the reactor the whole station will blow up.

- This is Felix Kronenberg. - Billy Hayes.

- l want to talk to Max. - One moment.

Max, telephone!

l have an announcement from the project base.

Let's hear it.

You've been discharged effective immediately.

And? Am l supposed to walk home?

This is not the time for jokes.

Eva Tompson and Gregor Vandenberg will replace you in a few hours.

Eva?

Yes, Max, Eva. Billy, did you listen?

- No. - Alright then, over.

lmagine the position Max put me in.

There're always two sides to a story.

For the Americans, it was a legitimate move.

Freeing the hostages would prevent the crises from growing.

To cover up the operation, they needed those two radiations.

lf Max hadn't interfered, everything would've been fine.

lt was a matter of hours to free the hostages.

What if things went wrong?

Which things?

Why didn't you tell Max from the start?

The Europeans didn't even know yet.

l only found out after it was decided.

You couldn't talk to Max anymore. . .

l tried. . . l wanted to help him.

But you up there didn't listen - to the contrary.

You even proclaimed not wanting to be involved in the affair at all.

Did you know whose orders Vandenberg followed?

Did you have any idea who was replacing us?

What happened?

First correction.

Distance 7 43.

Automatic docking system in operation.

Okay, we'll take over.

Approaching coordinates: bravo, alpha, one, zero. . . on the axis.

Rotational difference -1 45.

Synchronization started.

Hayes to Maryland crew: l've activated the docking-gate.

The automatic docking system of Florida Arklab is in operation.

l repeat, automatic docking system in operation.

Secondary docking system active. Connecting in 25 seconds.

Docking end phase.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five. . .

. . .four, three, two, one, zero.

Gregor, would you keep Billy busy for a while, and join us later?

Yes, l will.

Max? Hello, Billy, where is Max?

- Downstairs. - ls he hurt?

He's okay.

Billy's down here!

Well, Max will be happy.

Damn it!

Well done, Billy!

Hello Max.

Let's talk about it.

This decision didn't come easy for me.

You made your decision, what are you doing here?

l want to help you.

Eva, l don't want you to be dragged into this thing.

They know about us down there. Don't let them use you.

What are you talking about?

They play us against each other.

l don't want any difficulties for you.

l caused you some problems too, didn't l?

l'm sorry.

Maybe we should solve our problems together.

Well. . .

l can't believe this. . . shit! Japanese crap!

- l hope we're not disturbing. - Welcome to Florida Arklab.

- Quite a mess you have here. - Don't say!

What's with Marek?

- Why does that interest you? - Why wouldn't it?

You're supposed to continue the initial radiation, right?

Am l right?

- We just follow orders. - You must be tired of living. . .

- Eva talks to Marek. - Good for her.

Let's hope she brings him to his senses.

He, too, was part of the first radiation.

And. . .

. . .once he learns about the consequences of his refusal. . .

. . .he'll give in as well.

What consequences?

Eva didn't tell you?

What are the damned consequences?

The consequences.

My work is subject to suspicion.

The U.S. used scientific research as a weapon.

l believed in the positive aspects of climate control.

Eva, what happened to our guiding principles that started our research?

The documents will be on the freight elevator.

Of course l'm aware of the consequences.

Yet, you will do it.

Yes, even if it'll cause a political crisis.

l want to inform the population about the danger and misuse.

We have calculated all data for the new radiation.

Reaching target in 7 minutes.

l understand, but you're acting like the only one afraid of misuse.

There are other people. Trust them. You rely on their help.

Billy, tell him he can't make a report in this political situation.

lf this goes public, the Americans will do anything.

- Max, should l tape it? - This is our only chance!

You really think they'd let some scientist. . .

. . .ruin their image by informing the public?

No way.

Last night a U.S. Navy helicopter unit tried to infringe upon Saudi-Arabia.

At a special U. N. session, the U.S. spokesperson denied any involvement.

Standing by, our correspondent in Washington.

Shortly after the announcement, peace activists gathered at the White House.

- Gregor said, you knew about it. - Excuse me?

He was hinting at it.

lf reports of U.S. Forces are confirmed. . .

. . .a Soviet intervention in Saudi-Arabia is to be expected.

Let's try it.

Transmitting altered control data for reactor activation.

Only Segment-5 is available.

Gregor, what are you doing? What kind of documents are these?

Give me that!

Don't touch that! Get down!

Down!

Transmit via the American base.

All U.S. capacities are at the European center. Tell us when to transmit.

Copy. You're ready for transmission in 4 minutes.

We got them!

Max, get ready. We'll start.

Entertaining?

- Do they record? - Yes, of course.

l'm ready.

- You don't want to stop it? - No, go ahead.

Why the sudden change?

Vandenberg, what is going on?

Cut off the connection to the European headquarters. Use force if you have to.

- Have you lost your mind? - Vandenberg, this is an order!

Don't forget, the success of this operation is your last chance.

- You can't ask me to do this. - Yes, we can! You failed once before!

l don't have to remind you of the fatal consequences.

Vandenberg, cut off the connection to the European headquarters!

What's going on down there?

You'll reach the TV reception area in 2 minutes, are you ready?

Yes, we are.

50 seconds to go.

What's going on?

They cut the juice!

Billy, stay here!

Billy!

l'll be right down!

Unbelievable. . .everything baked, everything baked!

- Hello! - What happened?

Nothing, the line went dead!

- Who is this Vandenberg? - He wants to use the radiators.

We have to get Billy down!

He's in danger. Vandenberg is armed - he has a gun!

- Why didn't you tell me before? - l wanted you to be on the air.

Base to Vandenberg. Activate reactor in 2 minutes.

Did you copy? Activate the reactor! Mr. Vandenberg!

Come in and confirm order!

- Max, they started the countdown! - They'll blow us to bits!

l'm trying to block him.

lt worked. The countdown stopped!

Vandenberg, why did you stop the countdown?

Marek here, we stopped the countdown.

We won't allow any further radiations.

Vandenberg's in command of Florida Arklab now. . .

. . .and will use force if necessary.

Vandenberg, come in!

Vandenberg's not available at the moment.

Turn it on!

Control tape for Segment-5 is defective. Using it will jeopardize the station.

Turn it on! Turn it on, l said!

Can't do.

Nothing is preventing the reactor activation.

Activate the reactor!

l said, turn it on!

- We can't do that! - Get down!

Billy!

Eva, bandages, quick!

- What happened? - He shot!

- She's in on it. - You're crazy!

l told that asshole, he can't do it.

Be a big boy.

- Okay? - Yes.

Vandenberg, try to close the floodgate of the docking area.

Use force if you have to. Did you copy?

Close the floodgate and start radiation countdown.

The floodgate is defective. l repeat: floodgate is defective!

Vandenberg to Base. l'm restarting the countdown. l'm opening the radiators.

Project base here, hurry up. . .

- l didn't know about their plan. - lt doesn't matter.

You're crazy! The cooling system will fail and we'll have a meltdown!

- Damned idiot! - Calm down.

Starting initial radiation in 20 seconds.

What's going on, Vandenberg? Vandenberg, come in.

What's going on up there?

l know you have a gun, Vandenberg. Let's talk about this.

There's nothing to talk about. Get lost, Marek!

l'll shoot!

Vandenberg, you don't know what you're doing.

. . .five, four, three. . .

Marek, get lost or l'll shoot you!

Damn it, go away, l will shoot you, Marek!

We'll give you a shot.

Overheating slightly was to be expected. Please stay calm.

We've got everything under control. Everything's according to plan.

Give me that.

Reactor functions are within calculated tolerance.

We'll keep the system on automatic control.

You don't have to worry.

Eva, the gate is locked, we're trapped.

There's no other way out?

ls he doing better?

We have to do something.

l could try getting to the botanical area through the lower maintenance shaft.

From there, it would be easy getting to the control room.

You have to try to stop Gregor from leaving with the shuttle!

l wouldn't be surprised. Let's see what the computer says.

- Yes, that should work. - Hurry up!

Billy will get us out of here.

Billy, you have to. . . the reactor. . . l . . .

l'll do it, Max, l promise.

Temperatures are still within tolerance levels.

Proceed with radiations. Attention. Proceed with radiations.

Vandenberg, can you hear me? We will proceed with radiations.

Radiations will continue until critical point.

Leave the station immediately and inform the rest of the crew.

You tricked me.

Calm down. Temperatures are consistent with simulation data.

You have enough time to leave on the shuttle.

Radiation will continue. lnform the crew.

- l need to get upstairs. . . - Vandenberg, do you copy?

- l have to get out! - Don't use the main shaft!

Eva. . . l didn't want this. . .

l didn't want you to be part of this. Believe me.

Don't speak, Max.

Have. . .

. . .l ever told you that l love you?

You didn't, but l always knew.

Maximum safety level will be reached in 4 minutes.

- Did you copy? - Copy. ln maximum 4 minutes.

Eva. Eva. Eva!

Where's Max?

Max is dead.

He's dead.

Max is dead!

We have to get out of here!

Just go!

Go upstairs, go!

- The station can't be saved. - Any signs from the crew?

- No, nothing. - Max!

Attention, three minutes till reactor meltdown.

Damn it, where's Eva?

Billy! Billy!

Approximately one minute till reactor meltdown.

lt's happening any second. No further reception of data.

Critical stage has been reached. Reactor meltdown any second now.

We are getting weak signals from the station system.

The board system should have been shut down by now.

The signal is getting weaker, l repeat, the signal is getting weaker.

This is the Maryland shuttle, Hayes speaking. . . Can you hear me?

This is Hayes on the Maryland shuttle.

What will happen next?

The case is more complicated than you think.

Come on, tell me what happened.

The microwave radiators were used until the end.

Once the Americans knew their effect, it was too late.

The lndian monsoon started too early. The flood is indescribable.

You and Eva are not the only ones that know. They're investigating.

What we did today was only part of it.

But l think it's a good sign that we were able to see each other.

Whatever they intend to do next, l couldn't tell you.

You expect me to believe that? No.

You're too involved.

You think so?

Noah, you left your children.

Let go!

Good Evening. We start with the latest reports of today.

ln Saudi-Arabia, rebel troops. . .

. . .succeeded in occupying the capital of Riad.

So far they've taken over the Royal Palace and the radio station.

The U.S.-European space authority reports a serious reactor accident. . .

. . .on Florida Arklab. The space station was completely destroyed.

Two crew members lost their lives and two were able to leave on the shuttle.

Here we can see the Space Shuttle shortly after landing.

The two astronauts were immediately transferred to a hospital. Unfortunately. . .

. . . they did succumb to heavy radiation exposure and died this afternoon.

The cause of the accident is not clear and will be further investigated.
