- [male reporter] The greatest tragedies in human history

occur when we face something unknown

that frightens us.

- [female reporter 1] A unique astronomical phenomenon

will be visible over the southern edge of Moscow

this afternoon.

- [pilot 1] 477, at ten o'clock.

- [pilot 2] Roger that. I have visual contact.

- [Artyom] No pressure here,

but it's going to be another fifty years

till a meteor shower hits again.

- [pilot 2] The object has cleared the waterfront.

- [pilot 1] Big Boy, 650. I have visual contact.

- [male reporter 1] The object entered the atmosphere

from the west.

- [male reporter 2] People are watching the meteor shower.

- [Yulia] My friend Sveta is all alone up there.

- [pilot 1] 477, repeat! - [pilot 2] Christ, it's huge!

- [teacher] Humans waited thousands of years

for contact with extraterrestrials.

- [female reporter 2] This just in:

a catastrophe in the making.

An hour ago an unidentified object

crashed into several apartment buildings in southern Moscow.

The death toll has yet to be confirmed.

Eyewitness accounts claim it looks like an alien invasion.

Nevertheless...

- [Yulia] This is a war, right? - [father] It depends on what they do next.

- [Yulia] Who are they?

We can't just sit and wait after what they've done.

It's their fault.

Otherwise my friend Sveta would still be alive.

- [male 1] Leave it! - [male 2] What do you mean?

[shouting]

[female screaming]

- [father] Yulia! - [Hakon] Don't be afraid.

- [roar]

- [father] We don't know what they are going to do.

Right now our main task is to avoid direct conflict.

- [teacher] It's a unique opportunity for all of humanity.

- [Yulia] He saved me. I owe him.

- [teacher] It's a chance to find out more about ourselves.

To know who we are.

- [Artyom] I always knew you were special.

- [Hakon] Transfer completed.

- [Google] This is a transmitter of kinetic material.

- You will never be able to remove it. - [Yulia] All right, I got it.

- [Hakon] We are not allowed to make contact.

We can't let you get a hold of our technology.

- [Yulia] Gratitude.

Loneliness. Love.

- [Hakon] Love and hate help you fight the fear of death.

When there is no death,

then there is no need to love and no need to hate.

- [Artyom] You love him, right? - [Yulia] I do.

- [Artyom] You broke up with me because of him.

- [Yulia] They're not what we thought!

They're better than us!

- [Artyom] This is our Earth!

[digital noise]

- [Hakon] If you come close, it will be over.

Sol will blow up the aircraft.

[Yulia] We're gonna die. Both you and us.

Understand? - [Artyom] He is not human.

I don't even know what.

[men shouting]

[gunshots]

- [Yulia] I love you.

- [Artyom] Yulia!

- [father] What are you doing with her?

What are you doing with her?!

- [the ship] Hakon could live forever,

but he gave up his life for her.

Now I have to review the results of the mission.

They will affect the future of our worlds.

- [Yulia] People say that they can't continue

living like this.

And me?

No fucking way.

- [radio 1] Azimuth adjustment required.

Plus five degrees.

- [radio 1] Roger that.

- Sustainer engine, stop. - Roger.

- 314, you're on the calculated flight path now.

- Check. - Positive.

- [presenter 1] The country's leading research institutes

are decoding the technologies left by the aliens.

Scientists are expecting a breakthrough any time now,

potentially leading to advances not only in the military,

but also provide us with advanced tools

in such diverse fields as medicine,

energy production and ship building.

- [presenter 2] The country's leading research institutes

are carefully working on decoding--

- [presenter 1] Despite the UN recommendations,

Russia has refused to let foreign experts

examine the site.

This was the impetus behind a recent extension--

- [Chinese]

- [French]

- [Arabic]

- [presenter] In an attempt to avoid

making the same mistakes again,

an ad-hoc special unit has been created

to monitor the so-called "deep space."

Russian Aerospace Forces

have dedicated satellites to support this.

The newly appointed Head of the Extraterrestrial

Threat Prevention Unit

is the three-star Lieutenant General Valentin Lebedev.

During the Shanghai Summit

a fundamental decision was made

to allow countries to destroy alien objects

which could potentially threaten Planet Earth.

Those countries capable of attacking

an enemy in outer space,

namely Russia, the United States and China,

adopted the required response protocols.

Details of the events in Moscow two years ago

are still murky,

but government agencies assure the public

that efforts are being made

to guarantee that no spacecraft

will ever be able to arrive at our planet

unnoticed again.

- [male voice] ...arrive at our planet unnoticed again.

- [lecturer] Essentially there is almost no difference

between human and artificial intelligence.

With the exception, of course,

of our individual empathetic abilities,

which we deem our personality.

And when we claim, "I feel something",

what we mean in reality is we're aware

of a potential solution without grasping the algorithm

that leads us to the solution.

But here's the rub:

We don't have to understand everything. So...

- News from the lab? You make any headway yet?

- That's classified information.

If I tell you, then my guards

are going to have to shoot you dead on the spot here and now.

- [lecturer] Intuition is not a miracle. - [radio chatter]

- It's a carefully planned strategy.

Vitalik, for example, is quite lucky

because there are many things he doesn't understand.

- But why'd you call him Vitalik?

- We would have maybe honored you, Maxim,

if you'd demonstrated a bit more vitality in the seminars

and by age 19 had invented ethereum.

[all laughing]

Excellent. Thank you, Vitalik.

[students gasp]

I can imagine what you're probably thinking

about me right now...

- Chara would've bit his leg off for that.

- God, I hope you find Chara.

- [lecturer] ...Vitalik has been programmed

to believe that any contact, whatever it is,

is a sign of approval.

Whether you pet it or kick it out of your way.

This is what we call limited perception.

Let me repeat.

No artificial intelligence

can be better than human intelligence

'cause we are the perfect artificial intelligence.

For now.

They are our future.

However, unlike us they will be almost immortal.

It is very likely they will even grow

to be emotional because emotions

are inevitable after-effects

due to the complexity of the system.

We should however be able to nullify their unwanted emotions

through certain protocols.

- How about us? - What about us?

- Can you nullify our unwanted emotions?

So that we wag our tails

even though we just got hit in the face?

- Theoretically yes.

By stimulating or inhibiting certain parts of the brain.

Don't fool yourself, Yulia.

The truth is we're not much different from them.

Okay.

Soon enough, the machines will learn

to feel sympathy and aversion, hatred and love.

- [Yulia] We need love and hate to save us

from the fear of death.

If you're immortal, then why love somebody?

[bell ringing]

- Jeez, don't they like, get on your nerves?

- Who? - Them.

- Oh. You mean the guys who follow me in formation 24/7?

Of course not. Why do you ask?

- Look, Yulia, I...

There's... something I should have told you a long time ago.

But I couldn't.

- What is it? - Wait a second!

I can't be going on like this.

I can see how bad you're feeling

and it's not fair to you.

What I'm trying to... Yulia...

- I-- - Google, I know.

- You do? - Of course I do.

But it's safer for you if we just remain friends.

First, we knock off the guards.

Then we get you plastic surgery.

We shave your head.

- Then we'll dress you up in the guise of a nun

and smuggle you to Mongolia.

From there you'll ride on horseback to Tibet

and then to hide your tracks

you'll sail across the Japanese Sea to Kamchatka.

There won't be any social media for a while.

darn right delightful.

Some sort of biotechnology.

Some sort of photosynthesis.

How long is he going to be in there?

a radio headset into the exoskeleton.

- Hmm.

A Russian-Extraterrestrial coproduction.

- Welcome, Yulia.

Shall we begin?

- I'm ready.

- What did you feel

when you knew the spacecraft crashed in the city?

- Nothing. I was unconscious.

They rescued me.

- Okay. And then?

When you knew that your friend had been killed?

- What is it that we usually feel

when someone close to us dies?

- Yulia, please try to keep still.

We don't want to compromise the results of the experiment.

And then you wanted to take revenge.

Is that right?

- I can't remember.

[beeping]

- [assistant] Take a look at her heartbeat!

- And then you decided

quite specifically to help the creature.

Why was that?

a significant upsurge in the waves.

See it?

Yulia, what about your boyfriend Artyom?

What happened between you two?

- We broke up. That's it.

- Can you tell me why?

Did you do it because of the alien?

At what point did you start having feelings for him?

- Am I required to answer?

- We've all been hoping for some sort of a breakthrough.

Sorry to keep repeating this, but Yulia is all we have.

If we could only do some proper testing...

- I should let you treat Yulia

like she were some kind of a rat for testing?

- She is the key to understanding

how all this works.

Every week there was an attempt on his life,

Once they detonated our whole convoy.

In moments when it was quiet

he'd buy twelve-year-old girls from a neighboring tribe

to have sex with, made them his "wives."

It was programmed to use protocols

to amend the development of other civilizations.

Here on Earth you call that war.

- How can it do that?

- You yourselves have given it all the data it requires.

Personal information, facial recognition,

voice samples.

There is nothing that is safe.

Ra can access all of it.

And manipulate the flow of information.

Therefore, the military doesn't know

who is giving orders.

Are there further questions?

eliminate Yulia.

Only injuries? - Yes, sir. For the moment.

- [presenter] And to recap.

Yulia Lebedeva is being sought on suspicion

of a terror attack.

Evidence shows she may be responsible for

a bombing incident in a Moscow apartment complex.

The final death toll is still unknown.

At the moment 24 people have been declared dead.

A video has surfaced

which we can call the Lebedev Manifesto.

We believe it was made just before

or right after the bombing incident.

- Can you hear me? Then pay attention.

Three years ago a UFO crashed in southern Moscow.

You claimed that it was an alien aggression.

But that's a bunch of lies. We attacked them.

After that I was treated like a laboratory rat.

My father led these tests personally.

I demand that all the classified information

hidden by the Ministry of Defense be made public.

The military stole alien technologies

and has used them to develop new weapons.

I know. You think that no one will be able to stop you.

That's not true.

- [Artyom] Now what?

- [Hakon] She desperately needs pure water.

Go and get us some.

- W-water? - Yes.

Go to the store, get water,

and give currency to the cashier.

- Look, I know how to buy something.

- Three years you spent away from society.

You may have lost some these skills.

- You go and get the water. - No. You're going to do it.

- [Yulia] Can one of you just go?

Or else I'll have to do it.

- You're the only one they're not looking for.

[Yulia groans]

Got any dough?

- [Hakon] I have a job. - [Yulia] Just go!

- I expected you would all understand

just how dangerous it was.

To no avail.

So now I'm gonna do whatever it takes in order to stop you.

[radio breaking up]

[Yulia on radio] Is war the only language you speak?

Excellent. Then let slip the dogs of war.

Be ready for more explosions.

This earth is no longer solely yours.

- But the main question which remains unanswered:

Why was the public not told at an earlier date

that the young woman

not only had contact with the alien

but had been on the receiving end of a special object?

What this object is capable of--

- Where's this broadcast coming from? - [man] From you. We're live.

- We're not on air! Mute the fucking sound!

- What's going on? I thought we were on a break.

- ...Ministry of Defense.

No real progress has been made...

- Fuckin' ey!

- It's being broadcast from somewhere else.

The same information is online.

- What the hell is this?

- Are there a group of hackers that are attacking us?

- Unfortunately, not. At least not from this planet.

- Not from this planet?

Are you trying to say, Valentin, that we're--

- If it is within our means to locate the intruder,

we will find him.

And retaliate according to our defense protocols.

- Before I initiate any protocols,

I'll need hard evidence.

Rock-solid, consistent, indisputable facts.

- You want facts, I'll get you them. But first...

...we have to disarm them. No more cellular phones.

Not a shred of digital technology.

We gotta go back to analog.

We'll use couriers and landline telephones

for all our communication.
