The silence of Dr. Ivens.

- One more, please. Do you want one? - Yes. Of course.

- Two more. - I'll bring it in a moment.

Monsieur.

- Madame, Monsieur? - No.

- Madame, Monsieur? - Thanks.

Temporary cessation of connexion over the north-west Atlantic...

...caused by the magnetic storm doesn't allow accurately determine the time of the catastrophe.

Among the passengers of the crashed plane was famous scientist Dr.Martin Ivens and his wife.

His works on the problems of extending human's life interested the scientists around the world.

Aircrafts and patrol vessels continue searching the airplane of UVA company or any traces of catastrophe.

Some experts think that further searches won't give any results.

Obviously we should consider that 80 passengers and crew are dead.

Martin, Martin!

Martin... do you hear me?

Yes.

- Why are you crying? - It's nothing. It's from happiness.

- My name is Grass. How do you feel, doctor? - We'll know in a moment.

I'll try to get up.

Mr.Bem, I must tell you that digging in other people's things is not honest.

How will you look in the eyes of the owners when they return?

Who'll return? Where from? And us? Shall we return one day?

- Doctor, don't you really have an aspirin. - No. Where're other passengers?

- What happened? - This is what I wanted to ask you!

- As for me I flew to New-York. - Mr.Bem, we know it. We were all in the same airplane.

Yes, we flew, flew but then "bang!" and nobody flies anywhere.

He's from Argentina and speaks only Spanish.

I'm sorry, Senor.

What a hell is that? Again somebody went to this hole?

It seems to me or it's real that it became darker here.

No, no, you're right. When anybody approaches that place the light fades.

Martin! Martin, come back!

Martin, come back.

It's inscrutable.

It seems to me that we're in some closed space.

Or perhaps we're all dead?

Ladies & Gentleman I must draw your attention to one circumstance.

It always seems to me that we're watched by someone.

- Don't you have the same feeling? - What's the problem? Let's ask them.

Hey, you! Do you hear us?

If you hear us give us some sign.

- What's happening? - Calm down, calm down, Mr.Bem.

Who are you? Where are we?

Gentlemen, is anybody alive here?

Thanks God, we're all here!

- How do you feel? - Terrible! Like I was beaten. What're they doing to us?

For God's sake, doctor, explain what it was.

I swear that this guy disappeared in that damned hole.

I also saw it.

Gentlemen, don't you think that somebody test some kind of diabolical invention on us?

People of Earth. Be kind and happy. We don't want to harm you. We came with peace.

Well! Well!

Thanks God! At least we know something.

- Who are you? - We came from the distant planet.

- Its name is Araina. Dr.Ivens we ask you to come to us. - No!

Calm down.

- We have to begin the negotiations with them. - But why you? I'm afraid.

Don't worry, my child. Haven't your heard? The came with peace.

Look, the door is opened!

Interesting... where's the road?

- Where should I go? - Go straight and don't be afraid of anything.

Everything will be OK.

God bless you, Dr.Ivens!

I'm Aranta... I'm Aranta. Be kind and happy, Dr. Ivens.

I greet you from on behalf of our planet.

I also greet you on behalf of the planet Earth even if nobody authorized me to do it.

- Are you humans? - Yes, we're humans like you.

And we have been searching for brothers in mind in the space for a long time.

And now allow me to present my father.

His name is Zor.

He doesn't know your language. I'll translate for him and for everybody.

Don't be surprised. We don't need to talk aloud. We can understand each other without it.

Are you telepaths?

Yes, but it's not an innate ability. It's a result of training and education.

This is Buami and Rin. They saw many planets and consider your the most beautiful.

And now you'll meet the leader of our expedition.

Keep in mind that he's not human but "or". Look!

You can ask him whatever you want.

- How do you feel yourself?... I meant on our planet Earth? - It seems that you're confused.

Yes... It's difficult to accept it quickly.

You should know that our civilization in very much indebted to Or.

They were first rational inhabitants of our planet. That's why we decided to call it Araina.

I believe you. But it's hard to understand how could you renounce your human pride.

You have to understand. This is where lies real human pride.

Father says that in the times when we used bludgeons as a weapon Ors already had

...their own ethics and began to comprehend the laws of gravity.

It can't be!!! Some monsters command people?!

- I'll never believe that! - I didn't tell that they command.

- The collaborate with equal rights. - Anyway it's all fraud!

This happy civilization could overcome not only racial & religious but also biological bars.

And when they joined their efforts together, they became masters of the sea and land.

Then they went out into space and already for 1000 years are searching people in the universe.

Not because it became too crowded on their planet. No!

They felt their loneliness... in the universe.

They felt some unknown to us need. Or maybe yearning for the similar kind.

It's natural crisis of any civilization that reached its limits.

- And how did we end up on their ship? - That's it!

Literally we felt on their head.

And they returned to life those whose organism was not so damaged after catastrophe.

Maybe because of it we don't remember the catastrophe?

Yes, yes. Rather because of this.

They can delete from our memory everything they need.

In this case, they have deprived our memory of the details traumatic for our psyche.

It's very reasonable from medical point of view.

So why didn't they find more appropriate place for us?

It's hard to be there for an untrained person.

I experienced it myself.

Their ship is a big clot of energy unknown to the humanity.

So I speak, Dr.Ivens is a scientist and he's interested in it.

And what will I do with them?

Will they open a credit for me? We lived without them and lived very good.

You, Madame, what are you waiting from these aliens?

- Oh my god! What do I wait? - Yes!

- I'd rather wish it had ended. - Me too.

- Will you bathe? - No. I'll just sit here.

So I'll find another place.

- Don't you like this place? - I forgot my bathing suit at home.

Are you ugly?

You see... we don't have such habits. So it'll be better if I go behind that rock.

I can go.

Aranta!

But you wanted to bathe...

- What's this? - This is teleportation.

- I probably have very silly view at the moment? - No, not so...

Don't be offended. I was joking.

It's a pleasure to socialize with you.

Sometimes it seems to me that I feel your reaction before you say something.

- And how can you explain it? - Your emotions are stronger and more expressive.

It's natural 'cause you are much younger than we are.

But I like it.

- I wanted to ask how old are you? - 43

- What's the length of life of your people? - 160-170 years.

The most respected people are asked to live more.

- "are asked to live more"? - Yes.

People usually work hard and they tired of life.

My father is 230 years old. And Ugo is 270... that's why he's leader.

It's stupendous!

You know how many years I spent on study of this problem.

Stupendous!

Can you share your experience with us?

It's not a simple question.

There're some knowledge that human can't touch before he reached a certain moral elevation.

How do you think, is your civilization is deliberate enough to possess any secret of nature?

Buami, is something happened? What do you see?

The ocean of deserts and very beautiful one.

Nothing more happens here.

- Do you see the aircraft that pursues you? - Yes, he's retarded a little and rose higher.

If I were you I would install safety field.

If this aircraft will reach the modified gravitational field the pilot can be hurt.

We have no right to leave them such sad memories about us.

- He approaches. - Put the safety field!

No Zor, I already told you...

Buami, answer me!

Do you hear us?

Zor, I can see badly.

- Is airplane with man damaged? - Buami, be strong!

- What's with that man? - ...it's not my fault.

If...

I'm afraid that we came here too early. It seems that we have nothing to do on this planet.

Don't judge too fast, father. We have very little info at the moment.

It's enough to understand that on this planet...

...the power of weapon excels the strength of moral.

I need to speak with Ivens.

Dr.Ivens! We ask you to think and answer.

Why did the aircraft opened fire?

I can't explain precisely.

Perhaps it's excitement of the hunter...

Anyway I'm sure that this shouldn't be considered as attack on you.

Rather he thought that it was new secret weapon of Russians.

Rin asks if you always attack Russians when you see them?

Certainly not. But this guy was a military aviator.

They were taught for many years...

Father wants to know what the Earth's First Law says.

First Law of Earth?

- We don't have such laws... - Don't you have laws common for the whole planet?

No.

We're divided with borders, religions, race prejudices...

...ideas, social organization, philosophy...

We even speak different languages.

We say a TV program where they said that 800 million people on Earth are starving.

We understood that there are rich and poor countries.

Why rich don't help poor ones?

Very few here can voluntarily part with their wealth.

I speak about people and also the State.

Zor don't have questions anymore.

We appreciate you openness.

And we ask to specify what do you call Weapon of Mass Extermination?

We want to know it 'cause we have no weapon that could bring death to people.

We have nuclear, chemical and even biological weapons.

We waited many things from meeting with you...

Here you are!

It would have been better to take Buami with us.

The astronauts rest in the place where they die.

So the history astronautics is being created.

- Why did you like this stone? - I don't know...

Perhaps because it's so natural.

It was here for millions years and will be here for more.

- We don't have such places on our planet. - Our planet is smaller.

But its history is much longer.

Do we really can't help this planet?

Warn, explain that they can choose the dangerous way.

Each civilization must pass its way herself.

Nobody accept somebody's else truth.

If we share our ideas they will argue with us.

And if we give them our technical knowledge they'll surely turn it to weapon one against other.

Whoever they can be, they are people. And they should know about us.

There're many problems on Earth without us.

Don't you understand that different people will have different attitude to us?

They won't be always like this.

Zor, what's happening?

The ship is going to the island for people and we are still arguing whether to leave memories for them or not.

Aranta, stop these discussions!

- Let's leave memories at least to Ivens. - No!

Listen to me!

Aranta didn't obey me. Can you explain why?

She spent too much time with Ivens.

Listen to me!

If he fall it'll be your fault!

He won't fall.

Do you really think that if you couldn't convince us he'll be able to do it?

When you took a decision you didn't ask what people think about it.

And now you'll know their point of view.

I'm amazed by this view!

How could you dared to such violence?

Memories... Memories are the part of our personality.

Depriving us of memories you act unhumanly.

I didn't expect such neglect to people of Earth from you.

Understand me! If you hide the fact of you existence from humanity...

...it will be poorer. We have so many sombre philosophers and prophets...

...that foretell us foul future. That's why people should know about you!

Know!

- Can we trust him? - I'm sure, we can.

But I hesitate.

I swear that I'd rather die than give away your secret.

And I ask to believe me.

Maybe the best thing that we reached on Earth is the ability to stand for our credo.

And to die for them if needed.

It's hard to understand them.

We're proud that we can stay alive where we were dying in the past,

...and they are proud that they studied how to die.

If he hasn't remembered of all these happenings he won't have any regret.

It was not needed to warn him.

Aranta, what's happening with you? I don't recognize you.

I want people of Earth to know about us.

Norwegian ship "St.Christine" found 8 people on a small island in Atlantic ocean...

They were the passengers from the plane that wrecked 2 weeks ago.

It's amazing but these 8 persons have saved themselves after the crash.

They reached a small island in Atlantic ocean.

But nobody remembers how did they get there.

Dr.Ivens and his wife is among the saved people.

Martin, what's happening?

- Oh, again.. - Yes.

Because I can't sleep normally. Something happened to you!

You're avoiding me. I'm your wife and I have the right to ask you.

So, ask me. Just calm yourself down.

Why don't we go anywhere?

Jansens invited us countless times...

Angelica & Peter are offended and don't call us anymore.

We also don't invite anybody to our house.

- Maybe you're feel bad? - I'm fine. Calm down.

So why do you sit near the receiver every the night?

- You has never been a radio fan. - Now, I'm. - So why?

Oh, my god. Why people are fond of something...

Don't get angry. You began to visit only lectures in the university and don't work in the laboratory anymore.

I'm not very interested in it at the moment.

I don't understand you.

After so many years of successful work you san "not interested"?

Why?

I consider these researches... How can I explain...

...these researches are inopportune.

What's happening to you, Martin? Why are they inopportune?

Why did you thought otherwise earlier?

I was wrong...

Aren't you wrong now?

Dear, if you ask "why" after each answer it'll never end.

For god's sake, believe me. I'm serious man enough. If I decided to do so...

- I think that you don't love me anymore. - It's nonsense.

My dear, I beg you... It will end soon.

- Bear it a little. It'll end soon. - What have I to bear? What will end soon?

Please, tell me. Do you remember what happened after the airplane fell in the ocean?

- And what happened then? - Don't ask. Answer. Do you remember?

Do you remember?

No...

No...

Martin!

Hello! What happened to you, old friend?

We're waiting for you for a month.

Sorry Karl. It happens. One cause, another cause...

- How is Barbara and children? - They are dying to hear your stories.

- Maybe we'll meet this week? - You know, I'm afraid to promise anything. Too much work.

- So... I don't dare to insist. - I swear that you'll be the first ones who we'll visit.

Well, well. We'll be waiting.

Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen.

As you know, the many experiments proved that the living tissue can exist in artificial environment for a very long time.

This duration is being regulated only by the ability of cell fission,

...our ability to make the right nutrition for them and to delete the products of metabolism.

So we can thing that the old age is a function of the organism.

But here is the question!

Is the old age included in the program according to which organism is being developed or it starts after it?

When the organism fulfilled his main biological destination he goes on further mechanically.

If it's right so maybe we can prolong that program in order to postpone the old age.

This question I asked myself many years ago.

This is a saucy question, that was dictated by young ambition.

But today it seems to me irrelevant...

Is our world ready for it?

What�s the meaning of al this when one searches the way to prolong life...

...and another invented the new horrible weapon?

I'm very afraid, ladies and gentlemen...

...that this discovery if it'll be made could be used the wrong way.

So I refuse to continue my research.

Maybe the nature really has some secrets...

...that humanity cannot touch until it reached a definite moral level.

Hence, at least for me this problem turned from biological into social.

And only in this social aspect I see the sense and readiness to work with it.

I apologize for disappointing your expectations.

But to tell you about it seemed more important to me.

Oh my God!

- Are you glad? - I couldn't even dream about it.

I swear that nothing in the universe could make me more happy than your visit.

You left so suddenly... and I wanted to know so many thing about you.

I missed you.

Come here. Sit.

Sit down.

- How did you dared to...? - It was necessary.

The airplanes began to fly above us.

And then submarine appeared.

We shouldn't continue these efforts.

God bless these airplanes that forced you to get here.

We have to celebrate this wonderful fact and drink!

What am I telling? I'm sure that you haven't heard about this bad habit.

I know it. It's very difficult to travel in space after taking alcohol.

O, yeah!

- Where do you know it from? - I was in the bar.

Well, well...

I was there only once. I liked more to go to the cinema.

Cinema? You have come so long way to watch movies?

You know, it helps to adapt.

Yes. In order to step on this sinful earth you have to understand particular things.

You're very brave! What shall we drink? One moment.

Martin, who's with you?

For God's sake don't ask me and don't follow me. I'll explain everything later.

- Don't enter the room. - OK...

- There's somebody there. - It's Evelyn. Don't worry.

I don't understand. Whom were you talking?

- Martin! - Yes?

Evelyn addressed to me. I hope that we won't play hide-and-seek and speak candidly.

- How do you feel yourself? - Excellent! And what my wife is complaining about?

We are old friends and I'll tell you everything.

She's worried about your psyche... Maybe we could go to my cabinet and speak in detail?

My dear friend, I have no intention to discuss the things that don't exist.

Sorry, I must go.

- Martin... Martin. - It's you.

For God's sake tell me when to expect you if you disappear.

I couldn't stay in one place for all this time.

It's a sad question, Martin.

The problem is that we have to leave your planet tomorrow.

Yes, of course. I knew that it'll happen one day.

But I couldn't imagine that it will be so...

It seems to me that from now I'll be living like in the desert.

Why so, Martin? If you tell about us you'll feel better.

- You wouldn't be alone. Have you waited for it? - Yes.

It seemed to me that if people will know about you, it'll...

...and now I'm afraid. They won't believe me!

I'm not afraid of laughs. But the thought of that I'll be left alone with this knowledge is unbearable.

I wouldn't want to live...

But not only because of this thought but something else.

What else?

Getting you known I touched something of what secretly dreams each of us.

Something that couldn't exist, but it exists. And it's painful.

To find...

...and to loose.

You want me to stay?

- What? - Nothing.

There's nobody upstairs... You're a man and not a ball for ping-pong.

So, Dr.Ivens. Let's assume that your visitor can fly through a pipe or hide in mouse's hole.

Nevertheless, that fact of your contact is determined.

Why do you care if somebody comes to me, especially at nights?

Doctor, if you want make us think about intimate affair don't waste your time.

There's nobody in the basement.

Start the common search. Pay attention to letters, papers, photos...

So, Doctor... Even that modern morals are quite liberal nowadays...

..nobody will dare to come to the house of unknown person at night.

Note that the first time your wife didn't leave.

So, today you have a second appointment. How could you deny it?!

You haven't find anybody.

Anyway we have something to discuss, Doctor. Maybe you'll offer me a seat?

It seems to me that you don't need any offers.

Please.

Didn't you guess that you've been watched for a long time?

I don't understand the cause of all this.

I can assure you that I have no connections with foreign countries.

I understand that you want to know what caused our excessive interest in your person.

Now I'm going to explain it. Please.

In the North-West part of Atlantic ocean...

...strange occurrences have already been noticed a long time ago.

The crash of aircraft, the powerful radiation... and some other things.

Mysteriously several people have been saved after the crash of airplane.

And nobody remembers anything.

A very strange case of mass amnesia.

But that's not all.

Somebody gives radiogram to fishermen that you are on the island.

They save you and see that neither you nor your companions...

...are looking like people who suffered from two week hunger.

Strange, isn't it?

Can you explain such a trifle: who shaved you on this island?

No, no! Go away.

Go away.

- Go away forever! - Shut up!

For God's sake, were you really going to shoot?

- Whom were you shouting? - You're a foreigner.

It does not matter.

You're very excited, Doctor. Calm down and we continue our conversation.

And you... continue...

As you see we were not wrong.

Dr. Ivens, now you can tell them everything.

What does it mean? What does it all mean, Doctor?

It means that a space expedition has arrived on Earth. ...from a distant planet.

Poor Buami was right! This is a beautiful planet.

But my heart clenches when I think that you'll stay here alone.

- I won't be alone. - I hear the voice of feeling but not mind.

And I think that the life of people here is two times shorter.

And you will have to go through the death of your friend.

It wasn't needed to speak about it now, father.

But if you started it, do you really consider me as immature woman?

There are millions like me on Araina.

Here I can do much more. I want to live according to our main law.

- And to do maximum of what I can. - It's our law. Earth is not ready for it.

It's a law of people wherever they be.

Ivens is no exception. There are people on Earth that are congenial to us. And we'll find them.

This is my only hope.

Please.

Gentlemen, it's a misunderstanding if not a madness. What are you afraid of?

Don't you understand that these your E.T. friends will rather choose the side of communists?

But the won't interfere in our business.

Who can guarantee it?

If they arrive it will happen after 60 years in best case.

Ah, that's better. We have time.

What are you doing?

Forward! Go ahead!

Are you deaf?

Well, I...

Go home and sleep.

- What did you do to them? - Nothing.

- So, what is your decision? - University, the most appropriate...

To say the truth I didn't expect such turn of affairs.

I couldn't even think that the fact of your existence...

...they estimate as political event that can shock the world.

We'll go to Colis. I have university friends there.

And as a prove of what we'll say you'll show them your wonderful talents.

Do you agree?

Yes.

Please. Have a nice trip.

There are powers in our world that don't want to change anything.

They really like the order they established as mankind doesn't deserve anything better.

But now we'll see.

They always try to act secretly. That's why our main weapon is publicity.

They can easily jump down newspaper's and TV's throats.

That's why I permitted myself to record something on tape.

Now I can be sure that people will know about you whatever happens to me.

Turn your face to me while we'll be passing that car.

Look at me.

Who is it to your mind?

It'll be better if nobody sees you with me.

Well... that I was afraid of...

- Maybe they are going the same direction? - We'll know in a moment.

Remember, nobody must see you with me. If they make a photo with you, they'll be able to find you everywhere.

Your ability to teleportation and other skills won't help you.

You have no idea of what their machine of pursuit & shadowing can do.

- What can they do to you? - Nothing particular, I think. They'll try to ask me to become silent.

They can intimidate me or suborn me.

But this is not what worries me. It's you.

You shouldn't fall in their hands.

Bend down.

Well, it's time, Aranta.

Aranta!

Aranta, it's time!

Block the road! They are approaching!

Block the road! They are approaching!

She must be detained. She was with him.

- Is it true? - Don't touch me!

Hands up!

Don't look at me! Don't look!

- What happened? - Oh my god!

- Whom were you shooting at? - No, I...

- Have you seen...? - Yes.

- What happened here? - I'm afraid that nobody will never understand it.

Dr. Martin Ivens that was intended for being the candidate for Nobel Prize...

...died in a car crash in the morning of 6th of January under uncertain circumstances.

The widow of Dr.Ivens expressed her suspicion that her husband was mentally ill.

Dr.Ivens' closest friend Dr.Jansen confirmed that Mrs.Ivens asked him to examine her husband shortly before his death.

After an independent investigation and also came to the unfavourabe conclusion...

...that all rumors about his connections with strangers from space are cause by his strange behavior.

Why unfavourable? Because two things, as old Kant said, affect human's imagination the most -

...the sky with stars above us, and moral law inside us.
