Previously...

He did exactly what you'd do if you wanted the ISS to crash.

International media are showing up

because of this ISS business.

So, if we find another body dressed up as a candle,

you come to me first.

There's something here.

It looks like...

a microchip.

My mother came to you.

She believed your stories.

Tell me about this pendant.

Zarathustra.

You know why everyone hates you?

You're always lecturing people. Rubbing their nose in their shit.

Before he lost radio contact, Kurz shouted your name.

Launch of the Infinity Mission - 6 Months Earlier

THE TOWER OF BABEL

22 Hours After the Crash

I'm sorry about Chingiz.

No kidding!

He shouldn't have informed the Cosmodrome.

And you...

You should have told me first.

Chingiz acted alone.

Really?

Then learn to control your men, Mr. Askarev!

Bring me that capsule.

And Isaak Turgun, too.

What will you do to him?

What do you think I'll do to him?

I don't know.

Maybe the same thing

as his colleague?

Is our arrangement

in danger

because of your ties to that lowlife cop?

I know your little secret.

How long until you retire?

It would be a shame to lose everything that matters to you.

Wouldn't it?

I thought so.

The capsule.

And Isaak Turgun.

Are you Isaak?

I know where Hoi Han is.

Come in.

You really want to bring down that star?

It's already coming down.

China vetoed manned flights. They want to send a robot.

A robot won't bring them back alive.

But a robot won't kill a launch.

Or swallow 75 mg of benzodiazepine.

Xavier...

How long until the rest of the Commission finds out?

Anna?

What on earth were you thinking?

Is it that American?

There's much more to it than that.

Anthony took my place, I stayed here.

And yet...

It's as if he took a piece of me with him.

And that piece

is the one I need to get back.

If I don't, I'm not sure if I can go on.

I'm not going up there to die,

but to live.

Viktor Belinski.

Cosmodrome security.

I was told a body has been found...

Cosmodrome security has no business here.

Russia is five kilometers away,

along with your rockets.

You've come to the wrong address.

This is Kazakhstan.

Call your superior. I doubt he'll agree with you.

I'm sure he won't.

Don't let them in.

Who let the Russians know?

You know how they are. They know everything.

What did they want?

Who knows... To piss on the walls?

If we let them, they'll think we're in the USSR.

Where is it?

This way.

When it comes to taking in migrants, suddenly they're nowhere to be seen.

Why do they come? There's no work here.

No, but there's a lot of metal.

The Cosmodrome will close soon.

Someone will inherit all this.

Chrome, nickel, tungsten, aluminum...

The rockets may stop going into space, but they're not done traveling.

What a sad ending.

Really?

What has space done for you?

For me, nothing.

We've sent up so many ships, satellites,

and cosmonauts. What have we learned?

There's no one up there, Chingiz. Accept it.

Leave God out of this!

Keep moving!

Shut up!

Get his prints.

And take a picture of his face.

What's left of it, anyway.

Do the same for all these poor bastards.

Maybe the killer isn't far from his victim.

Why are the Russians interested in a frozen bum?

I wouldn't call him "frozen".

Is this wax?

Yes. He must have been boiling hot

when he was decapitated.

I have another one!

A girl is on a bridge, about to jump.

A wino asks her, "What are you doing?" "I want to die," she says.

Hang on, let's fuck first.

- "Fuck you!" - "I'd love to."

"I'll wait for you down there."

This is my brother-in-law, Isaak.

The man my sister chose over the General's son.

Rumor has it she's changed her mind.

My wife has always been a sucker for pretty boys in uniform.

Like her brother. Right, Fef?

If you'll excuse me.

Some family business to sort out.

Watch out, Fef!

He may have handcuffs!

I'll be right back.

Ok...

How about another cop joke?

What are you doing?

What the hell are you doing?

I let you go!

I helped you.

How dare you come spit in my face?

Those men are cosmonauts! What are they doing in the desert?

I don't know. I don't want to know.

- You should do the same. - Chingiz died for this!

And you'll end up like him.

Why are they killing their own? Why did they want us to bury the case?

Why? What are they hiding?

I already told you...

You're on your own.

Fef!

You want me to keep making jokes

about your sexual preferences?

Your buddies definitely look...

very open-minded.

Especially Yassim, the imam's son.

What? They don't know you're light in the loafers?

They don't know?

Oops...

I didn't think you'd stoop so low.

How much are the Russians paying you?

They don't pay me.

They agree to keep their mouths shut.

That's the price to pay for an old queen like me!

They have me on a leash!

But you... You're no better than them.

I'm doing this for my sister, not for me.

I want to protect her.

Please, do the same.

She's worth more than you and I.

I know.

So give me the fucking capsules!

Bury the past.

Bury the past.

- That's what you want? - Yes, it is.

I've already buried what mattered most to me.

You want the capsules?

Take them.

What did the Russians say?

There's a third one.

A third?

Yes. Xi something. Chinese.

They've been looking for his body for five months.

Goddammit!

Shit...

Is this going to take much longer?

I have all the time in the world.

Border Checkpoint - Baikonur Cosmodrome

Have you brought me the capsules?

What capsules?

The ones that cost your friend his life.

Watch out, my friend. You only live once.

One wrong move and I'll shoot you like a dog.

I suggest you turn around.

Kazakhstan is over there.

This is Russia.

I won't leave until I speak with Anna Zarathi.

No one is allowed near Ms. Zarathi.

She's going into quarantine.

You should do the same.

So, you're sending her to her death?

Just like the other three?

Why pretend the Infiniti cosmonauts are still up there?

Why would we do a thing like that?

So no one will believe they were murdered down here.

What a convenient accident.

Sergeant!

Never let this man in.

Shoot him if necessary.

Yes sir!

Damn it!

Fucking hell!

The causes of the ISS accident haven't yet been determined.

An investigation is underway.

According to some sources, French astronaut Anna Zarathi

is expected to carry out the ISS rescue mission.

She was suddenly replaced this winter

by her backup, the American Anthony Kurz,

currently captive inside the ISS.

Ms. Zarathi should be going into quarantine this evening

at the Yegorov institute.

The Cosmoros agency is doing its utmost

to ensure that the mission will be ready

for a takeoff next week.

Electric Plant - Baikonur

Take care of the cameras. I'll deal with the girl.

Ok.

Swallow!

Get rid of the body in the morgue.

I got lost.

The quarantine rooms, please?

- You need clearance. - Of course.

Thank you.

Move!

Back up.

Back up!

Anna Zarathi?

Slowly... Slowly!

Hands up!

Turn around.

Shoot!

Run!
