Triumph (2024) Movie Script
1
Comrade General, we're good to go.
- Carry on.
- Yes, sir!
Private.
- Keep an eye on her.
- Yes, sir!
Chernev, haven't we gotten past
two meters already?
We have.
It's no use, comrade General,
let's pack up and leave.
Nyagolova?
Well, what do you expect?
They blocked the field.
So what do we do now?
Come on, boys, fill it up.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Go on, what are you waiting for?
Colonel, your daughter!
- Don't mind her, it's something she does.
- Don't interrupt her.
- Sweetie, cut it out.
- Step back.
Back off! Back, back, back, back!
She does that spinning thing
all the time...
Are you...
...my mom?
- Slava, get up, you'll catch a cold!
- Platnikov!
Lie still, my child, lie still.
It's okay, don't worry.
This is the place!
Get on it.
Private!
This way. Breathe.
Go, go, go, go!
Go, go!
Here, here! Here!
Platnikov.
Sit down.
Comrade General. Permission
to take my daughter back to Sofia.
First you ask me to bring her along,
now you want to take her away.
Yes. I'm sorry. But you know how it is...
She just got better and this here
could upset her again.
It's 20 minutes to Sofia,
20 minutes back, that's 40 minutes.
You know I have a soft spot for you
and you're taking advantage of it.
- Not at all...
- Oh yes, you are.
Slava!
- Come on, we're leaving.
- Stay.
Why do you treat your daughter like a...
- Please, stay out of this.
- Your wife...
Your daughter has a special gift.
Do not suffocate her.
Stop! Get back, get back!
- E.R.
- What's that?
Energetic reflectorine.
Comrade General, that's not a thing...
Quick, get back,
get ten meters back. Everyone, quick!
- Fall back, fall back!
- Quickly!
You might get deactiminated!
Take cover!
Colonel, please,
I can barely hold it back!
Platnikov,
get the hell out of there right now!
Hurry up, damn you!
Get down!
What's wrong with you,
are you out of your mind?
You come back here, my child.
My bag.
Go stand there.
Get down.
Your hands.
Let me.
This is Yolo speaking.
In the name of the Galactic Assembly...
...I salute you!
What you seek here
shall grant you the power... to change
the world order!
Bulgaria...
shall lead mankind...
...to a triumph!
Yolo?
Tell us what we're looking for exactly
and how to carry on from here.
Nyagolova?
Are you alright?
Nyagolova!
Slava, how is Nyagolova?
Water!
Spassov, toss her the water!
Should we come over to you?
Phase One: the reflectorine
is to be evacuated in a westerly direction
in order to unlock the energy portal.
Use living force...
Uh, only living force, that is.
Phase Two: a tunnel is to be dug
at a 45-degree angle with a width of...
One, two, three, four, five...
A width of 1.75 meters,
and to a depth of...
five meters and 30 centimeters
to the object.
What's that object?
Platnikov, sit down.
Passage through the portal
will be granted only to those with...
And this symbol here...
Well, this usually means "stars".
But I'm not sure exactly
how to interpret it in this case.
It may be...
- Nyagolova?
- Yes?
We have stars.
That's exactly right!
Well done!
Well done. That's all.
I declare the start
of a classified operation code-named...
"Triumph".
- Platnikov.
- Yes, sir.
In your capacity of Head of the Science
Department you will be in charge.
- Chernev.
- Yes, sir!
Logistics. Everything you need.
No resources will be spared.
- Yes, Comrade General, sir!
- Nyagolova and Miss Platnikova
will be in charge of communications.
It will be an honor, General!
- But Comrade General!
- But what?
You gave me permission to bring
my daughter back to Sofia.
Ah, that's right. Nyagolova?
Will you be needing
Miss Platnikova any further?
- Oh, yes. And she'll be needing me.
- Mm-hm. So she stays!
Go, go, go, go!
This side! Lift it!
Heave! Heave!
Come on, it's coming out!
Go, heave!
Heave!
It got stuck!
Easy, man, easy!
Easy, watch your feet!
Over there, in the open spot.
Careful, careful!
You have to be more gentle!
A little more to your... back, back!
Over to where he's standing.
Stop! Now clean it.
Polish it until it shines.
Just don't scrub it so roughly.
Gently, carefully. You all know
what you've got on your hands.
Stop. Dry it off.
Back away.
Come on, sweetheart.
Come on.
There, Slava. I've got it.
I've got it. Roupchev?
We're done, Slava! Thank you!
We did it!
We have reached the 18th energy circle...
...which brings us to what?
- The Seventh Zone!
- Well done, my girl!
I love you, my girl!
At ease.
I'll go to decontaminate the field.
There's no time.
We still have a lot of work ahead of us.
We've reached the Seventh Zone!
Congrats. That is... congratulations.
Colonel.
What is it, sweetheart?
- May I go down the...
- What's that?
May I go down the hole too,
Lieutenant Nyagolova?
No, Slava, you may not.
How many times do I have to tell you?
You know you can only go in if you
have stars. Go get some rest. Go on!
- Double-quick!
- But...
Mom...
Dad promised to talk to the general
about giving me stars,
too, just like he gave Pirina.
Mom... I'll be with you soon.
We're already in the Seventh Zone.
Wait for us.
Slava?
Slava? Slava.
You're all set.
Every day is a triumph.
Every day is a triumph!
Colonel, continue digging
for 62 centimeters straight ahead,
then turn 14 degrees due east.
Another 53 cm-long
straight section will follow
but you will have to increase
the incline by five degrees.
And be careful because
the field in the Seventh Zone
is more dense and you may experience
some serious physical disturbances.
Slight vertigo, cold sweat...
Don't worry though, you're protected.
The stars keep you safe
from more serious reactions.
- Bucket!
- Give it here.
Visualization is over,
thank you, sweetheart.
The French press has never dedicated
so much space to Bulgaria.
The preliminary results of our elections
are all over the front pages,
says our Paris
correspondent Veselin Vasilev.
All the newspapers,
from the right-wing Figaro
to the communist L'Humanit,
are noting
that the Socialist Party is the former
Communist Party,
and many are pointing out that Bulgaria
is the only Eastern European country
where the communists are being
democratically reelected to power.
Look up there and you'll see.
They pass by every day, there.
- Where?
- Above the tree there. A Soviet satellite.
They watch us every night.
They know we're on to something big.
Radev, do you know how
many satellites pass by every minute?
Sure. You're not saying it's only
the USSR that's watching us, are you?
Of course not. NATO too.
Colonel, what do you think the object is?
What are your hypotheses?
I think it's some sort
of a psychotronic weapon. Very powerful.
That's why they're all watching -
they want to find out what it is.
Absolutely.
I think we're looking for Noah's Arc.
- Why?
- What are you laughing at? Very funny.
The Biblical Flood took place
here at the Black Sea.
- So?
- So when it came flooding in,
it reached all the way to here.
Here's where the Arc got stuck.
Roupchev, stop thinking like an ordinaire.
Well, boss,
I'm just a simple orderly after all.
Perhaps it's some meteorite
made of a previously unknown material
or a new chemical element.
How hard it is indeed for a man
to overcome his cognitive limitations.
- To overcome what?
- Never mind.
Colonel, the new recruits have arrived.
Thank you. Do you know
where my daughter is?
Yes, she's out in the field,
calibrating herself.
- Would you save a plate for her?
- Yes, sir.
Make me a plate for Slava.
That's a nice bean soup.
Hey, cutie!
- Watch where you're going!
- Easy there, moustache!
- I'll give you a moustache.
- I'm sorry!
You're sorry, huh?
Attention! Give me 200!
I said give me 200 push-ups! Count.
- First...
- What's this "first"?
It's "one". Start over. Count.
- One, two...
- Loud. Stop.
Again. One.
- One, two, three, four...
- Louder!
Four, five, six...
I want to hear you from
the bottom of the hole. You filthy gypsy.
Twenty, twenty-one,
twenty-two, twenty-three...
Twenty-four, twenty-five...
What's your name?
Tell me your name.
Don't run, tell me!
Fifty! Fifty-one, fifty-two...
Fifty-three, fifty-four, fifty-five...
Fifty-six, fifty-seven...
Fifty-eight. Fifty-nine.
Touch your nose.
About-face!
Give me a wave.
You and your metal detector!
That's not the kind of treasure
we're looking for, don't you get it?
Oh, really? Why are you avoiding me, huh?
- Go brush your teeth.
- You go wash your cunt.
- You're embarrassing yourself.
- And what about you?
First you hop on my dick,
then the general's,
now you hover over Platnikov's.
- Asshole.
- Ingrate.
- You're contaminating the field.
- So what?
- You'll clean it up.
- I'll scream.
What are you doing to him?
We're gonna roast you like a chicken!
- Hey! Let go of him right now!
- Let's set his tail on fire.
- What are you doing to that animal!
- Back off! Who the hell are you?
Give me the rope!
I'll have you all deactiminated!
Deacti -what?
Give me back the rope! Give it back!
Get lost! Let go!
- Get lost!
- Give me the dog!
- Don't you bite! Give me the dog!
- Get lost!
Give me the mutt now! Give me the dog!
Hey, you brats!
- Let the girl go!
- Get lost, gramps!
- I'm gonna show you who's "gramps".
- You are!
Get lost. Leave the girl alone.
Off with you, I said! Get lost!
You little shits.
- It's alright.
- Don't you dare come back!
Good boy!
Are you okay, miss?
Don't be afraid. It's all good.
Degenerates! I said get out of here!
- Hey, hey. Look at me.
- Freaks!
These are the fruits of communism!
How are you, miss?
Forgive my foul language, but...
Did they hurt you?
What's your friend's name? Boy or girl?
- Does he or she have a name?
- Antares.
Antares?
Where does it come from, "Antares"?
Antares is a red supergiant, the brightest
star of the Scorpius constellation.
Impressive. Where did you get
all that knowledge about space?
Could it be connected with your work?
I have to go, contact hour is approaching.
Whoa, contact? With space?
I'm not at liberty to comment.
May I ask you about your sign, young miss?
- Aquarius.
- Aquarius?
Did you know that we're just about
to enter the Age of Aquarius? Your moment.
Such a lucky girl,
here in the middle of the field.
And what's your name, miss?
- Slava.
- Slava? Beautiful name.
Slava, would you be so kind
as to grant this old ornithologist a wish?
Allow me to take a photo of you
for my album of birds most rare.
May I photograph you
together with your friend Antarex?
- Antares.
- Antares, yes.
You can squat down right here,
the light is perfect.
Here, Antares! Come here!
Antares? Come on, boy.
- Antares, sit.
- Look this way.
Slava, you're way too serious.
A little smile?
That's right. And click!
Loosen your hand, loosen it.
See how we cleared up the pink?
Every day is a triumph!
Today we'll familiarize ourselves
with the deactimination hazard protocol.
Let's split up into pairs.
Weak bio-field -strong bio-field.
- Should we hold hands?
- No, I'll tell you what to do.
Come this way.
Okay. The weak
bio-field lies down on the ground.
Slava, lie down. Hands above your head.
Go on.
Right.
Hands above your head. That's right. Now.
The strong bio-field
has to open the gate
of the deactiminated person's life cycle.
Compress yourself a bit, will you.
The chest protects the heart center.
Well done.
This is the point of the Hall of Sigils.
It must match the point
of the Hall of Sigils
of the subject of deactimination.
You count to ten.
One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten.
In the meantime
you must introduce peace and calm
into the absolute chaos that the subject
of deactimination has been cast into.
After that we check for double vision
and we evacuate.
- Radev, check me.
- Evacuation is executed
via rotating motion
to the left or to the right.
Put your arms around me. Go on then.
And!
Easy, Radev!
What is it?
I wish I had eyes like yours.
You are a woman,
and a woman has to be in control
of the feminine force.
Do like this.
Such soft skin you've got.
- I sometimes feel awful in my skin.
- Why?
I don't know. It doesn't fit.
As if someone jammed me
into someone else's body.
That's because your spirit
hasn't connected with your body yet.
Body and spirit must be one.
Like when you're dancing.
Here, hang on.
Get up.
Up, I said!
We're gonna try something out.
Now we'll make the body express the soul.
Go on, relax into it.
Relax!
Relax, let go, let it go.
And one, two, three!
Hang on, I'll show you. Look here.
So, we go one - elbow, two - elbow,
one - elbow, two - elbow...
No, tuck your elbows in.
Don't you see how I do it?
See?
Tuck them in.
One - tuck, one - tuck, one...
Oh, Slava!
- You really do come from another planet.
- Yeah.
Look here! One and two, and...
Nyagolova.
Stop. Quiet.
Colonel, we have an information blackout.
The Guides said to suspend work while
channel maintenance is being carried out.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
Cheers!
Relax, relax.
Miss Nyagolova, may I invite you to dance?
Um, let me finish my meal first.
Miss Platnikova.
- A dance?
- Yes!
- Go on, Chernev!
- Slava, sweetie, these modern dances...
I don't get them.
A post-communist transition dance.
Roupchev? Take over, you're younger.
Colonel, please save me from the major.
- Uh, okay...
- Miss Nyagolova, a dance.
- Um, Major Chernev...
- Colonel?
How are you doing?
Come on!
- Major Chernev is very annoying sometimes.
- Yes.
Thank you for saving me.
No, look, I have to thank you.
Apologize even.
What for?
Well, because I treated
your methods with contempt,
and you've actually done
so much for my daughter.
So, uh... I've been blind
to many things. I'm sorry.
I have to tell you that I can finally see
your aura absolutely crystal clear now.
Hey, what the...
Slava!
Slava, come here. That's enough.
Is this what I put you here for?
- General, we...
- Is this your idea
of a highly classified operation?
Is this what you call "a triumph"?
Comrade General,
we had an information blackout...
- A blackout?
- Affirmative, sir.
You call this an information blackout?
What are you looking at? Read!
The Bulgarian Army is dig...
...is digging in search
of extraterrestrial intelligence.
What?
Slava on the... What?
The girl named Slava,
who introduced herself as the psychic
in charge... The psychic in charge?
She doesn't talk to strangers.
- There's no mention of me.
- She didn't know she was photographed.
What do you mean she didn't know?
Who is in the photos?
Read on, read!
- But who gave her permission to...
- Read on!
When asked
why they're digging at that exact spot
the army's chief psychic
said that the general had a dream,
in which Levski and Benkovski
appeared to personally tell him that...
Not Benkovski - Botev! It was Botev!
Comrade General, calm down.
- I'll be alright...
- Let's go inside and put you in a chair.
- Come sit.
- Everything is good.
The new minister has summoned me tomorrow
to explain why the fuck we're digging
this 70-meter hole
in the middle of nowhere.
So tell me what I should say to him. Hm?
Tell me.
Should I show him this?
- This?
- This is a...
I should show this to the minister,
is that what you want?
Or those bloody rocks over there?
When are we going to have results?
When are we going to have results!
I want to know what the object is
and when we're going to reach it.
Not tomorrow, not the day
after tomorrow, not in five months - now!
Right fucking now!
- We are...
- Or I'll remove you all
from the operation, every last one of you!
I'll be damned if I put up
with such amateurs!
I'll bring psychics over from the USSR!
The object is a quantum capsule
for transportation to the mothership.
The capsule is located
inside a protective chamber,
the entrance to which
is just a few meters away.
- What was that? Speak louder.
- She...
The object is a quantum capsule
for transportation to the mothership.
The capsule is located
inside a protective chamber,
the entrance to which
is just a few meters away.
- She's been going through my notes.
- No, I received this now.
- I don't give a rat's ass. Repeat.
- She's...
Silence!
The object is a quantum capsule
for transportation to the mothership.
The capsule is located
inside a protective chamber,
the entrance to which
is just a few meters away.
Mr. General, she's tired,
she doesn't know what she's talking about.
Please, take her outside. Please.
Mr. General, let me connect
you with the Guides in person.
- Like where - in the capsule?
- Slava.
- Slava!
- No, right here.
- Here?
- That's right. But I must warn you:
- You. Cannot. Shout at them. Okay?
- Yes. Sorry.
Because they are delicate creatures.
And they wouldn't allow
negative vibrations of any sort.
Forgive me, dear, but you have
no idea how much I've got on my plate.
The Union, the Soviet Union
is falling apart, can you imagine?
And in the meantime some pussies
are telling me that we should join NATO!
- This country is chock-full of idiots!
- Affirmative!
No sane people left in this country!
Didn't I warn you
this was going to happen?
Just tell me honestly, didn't I warn you?
Two years ago.
You warned me two years ago.
Colonel, please help the General remove
all metallic objects from his person.
And you, sweetheart, you come with me.
Come, come.
- All metallic objects, all of them.
- Understood.
Come.
Do you even realize
the treachery that you committed
against your father,
against the general
and against all of us
who put our faith in you?
- But they... they told me that...
- Go to bed!
But I thought we were
about to make contact...
Do you honestly think
I cannot make contact without you?
The chief psychic!
You know what? I can't believe it.
I can't believe that this
is how you're thanking me
for everything I've done for you.
I don't need you, got it?
Go to bed.
Go to bed.
I'm all set.
What about this?
What have you let them do to you again?
Get rid of it.
Put your hands here.
That's right.
Are you ready?
Pirina to Yolo.
Pirina to Yolo.
Our commander on Earth, General Zlatev,
would like to talk to you in person.
This is Yolo speaking.
General Zlatev is a Level Nine Entity
and I am not worthy
of conversing with him.
I will put you through to
a Representative of an appropriate rank.
Mom...
Do you believe in me?
Come on!
You stay like that
until the sun rises above the horizon.
So until we find the capsule,
you'll support your bio-energetic
integrity with this reflectorine.
- So there's still a chance for me?
- One hundred percent.
Do I have to look at the sun?
Oh, come now. If you look
directly at it, you'll go blind.
No, you just put your hand
on the reflectorine and breathe deeply,
just like I've taught you.
Roger. Platnikov, just keep in mind
that they're going to want to come
and see what's going on.
- The minister?
- Not only him.
I got a call from the president's national
security adviser too.
So next time we come,
you make sure there are no blunders.
By all means, comrade general!
At ease now and off to your beds.
Platnikov, aren't you gonna go to sleep?
Carry on.
I serve the Republic of Bulgaria!
Safe travels.
When you said you'd replace me with some
Soviet psychic, you were joking, right?
I would never!
Pirina, dear, I'm sorry about before,
but what can you expect
from an old and ailing general?
Mon gnral! You are a hawk!
And you will fly so high!
The whole world will be at your feet!
Bon voyage!
Sleep.
Sleep.
Sleep.
Go to sleep.
Lulla-lulla-lullaby...
Lulla-lulla-lullaby...
Lulla-lulla-lullaby...
Lulla-lulla-lullaby...
Slava summons The Guides.
Send me a signal.
- Hey...
- What are you doing here?
They'll deactiminate us!
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine...
How many fingers am I holding up?
Um, one?
What was that?
Our fields are in sync...
Can you feel it? Our frequencies match.
Reflection...
Refraction...
Dispersion...
Absorption...
Attenuation...
Diffraction...
Interference...
Every day is a triumph!
Colonel, take a 73 degrees turn due east
and continue digging for 85 centimeters
straight ahead. Over.
Colonel, that's 85 degrees northwest
and 63 centimeters straight ahead.
Say again.
What's going on, sweetheart?
- I'm transmitting the correct data.
- Lieutenant, do you read?
Chernev, Nyagolova's radio is dead.
This is Nyagolova.
Take a 73-degree turn due...
Dad, that's 85 degrees northwest.
- Nyagolova?
- Give it here! Give it!
Nyagolova, do you read me?
What's going on, was that my daughter?
What's wrong with you,
sweetheart, you're not yourself!
I'm not your sweetheart, I'm no child!
Nor am I some sort of conductor!
I can receive the signals too.
Oh, is that so?
And I also know that all the information
that you're relaying is false.
We're having communication issues again.
What's the direction?
- 85 degrees northwest!
- Your daughter needs to rest.
You need to drink some water, sweetheart.
The direction is 73 degrees east.
You drink your own water.
Dad, listen to me. She's lying to us.
What?
Last night I went down the hole.
I wasn't deactiminated, on the contrary.
- And what's the contrary?
- I got centered.
- Oh, Slava.
- So now my field is much more powerful...
...than yours.
You... don't you...
...believe me?
I'll show you.
- Watch!
- Where are you going?
Slava, wait! Slava, stop,
you'll activate the safety protocol!
Stop, I tell you!
- Slava, sweetie, what are you doing here?
- Back off!
Who let you in here? Slava?
Take her out of here,
they'll deactiminate us!
- Let go of me!
- Let go of her right now!
Who do you think you are?!
Nothing will happen to her!
If nothing has happened so far,
nothing will happen!
Besides, she has already been down here.
Don't you think you ought to be
a little more strict,
especially after her press blunder?
That wouldn't have happened,
if you'd let her in the tunnel,
instead of having her prop up
the reflectorine and then fool around.
Prop it up?
Is that what you think we're doing here?
Lt. Nyagolova, this discussion is over!
Let's focus on what's important.
What's next, Slava?
Don't push so hard.
It's here, the capsule!
- Oh, finally.
- In here!
- Dad, we're going to fly in it!
- Yes, sweetie.
- We're gonna fly!
- Yes, baby girl.
Which way should we dig now?
The... en-... trance... is...
- This way.
- This way?
I felt it. I felt it! I really felt it!
Well done! Lt. Nyagolova?
Well... in light of this bad imitation
I'd say that the entrance...
it makes no sense that the entrance
would be where the sun goes down.
What bad imitation?
Hers.
- Was she imitating someone?
- Me.
Really? I didn't notice.
You don't think the entrance is this way?
I don't think , Colonel.
I relay what is being transmitted to me.
Is that clear?
Nyagolova, that's no way to talk
to a superior officer. Leave at once.
Off with you, right now!
Lt. Nyagolova, that's an order!
- Yes, sir.
- We'll dig in both directions.
Help me!
Help me, help me, help me...
Give me a sign.
Show me how to go on.
To throw a stone far away
you mustn't lean forward.
You must take two steps back!
- Good night.
- Good night, Col. Platnikov!
Nyagolova, are you alright?
Yes. Everything's fine. Go to bed.
Good night then.
Are you going to sit here in the cold
all alone now?
You got something to warm up with?
I don't have any glasses.
Slava to Sirius Seven.
I'm ready for a recharge.
Slava to Sirius Seven.
I'm ready for a recharge.
Slava to Sirius Seven.
I'm ready for a recharge.
Slava to Sirius Seven.
I'm ready for a recharge.
Slava to Sirius Seven.
I'm ready for a recharge.
...diffusion...
...diffraction...
...interference...
Every day is a triumph.
- Didn't you have enough, Slava?
- I'm very hungry this morning.
- May I have some more?
- Sure.
They blocked us from the world,
Accused us of subversion,
Beat us up at the precinct
And gave themselves a medal
Hid away in residencies,
Built camps...
Colonel! Colonel!
- Come here!
- Colonel, stop it! No!
Communism's leavin',
children, sleep tight
Let go of him!
Let go of him!
- Let go of him!
- Get away, Slava.
- Our souls are bound together!
- Get him out of my sight!
Our bodies are preordained! Let him go!
He must join me on the mothership!
Slava, let go!
He must get on the mothership with me!
No! No! No!
Let go!
No!
Enough! Calm down.
Let him go!
Let him go...
Communism's leavin',
children, sleep tight
Give me her hand. Easy!
Spread it open, spread it! That's right.
Oh, dear. I can't... I can't get access!
He has blocked her up completely!
Go to the others. Come on...
I'll take care of her.
Simeon, did you hear what I said?
Simeon! Remember what the Guides said?
There's cosmogenic energy
in the capsule that heals everything!
The sooner we find the capsule,
the sooner she'll get better!
Mom...
I'm here.
The sun rises in my soul!
The Divine rises in me and in my spirit!
Hurry up!
On your feet! I need the entrance
to the capsule open by tomorrow morning!
You are creatures... of spirit...
...and body...
Nyagolova!
Every day is a triumph!
Colonel? Maj. Chernev called
and said to raise alert.
The delegation is arriving any moment.
- This dog needs to disappear.
- Affirmative!
Take it to the forest, I don't care.
We're having guests.
You have to stay here.
And keep quiet. Quiet, dear.
It's for your own good.
The sun rises in my soul.
The sun rises in my soul.
The Divine rises in me and in my spirit.
The Divine rises in me and in my spirit.
The sun rises in my heart.
The sun rises in my heart.
The sun of all suns is rising.
The sun of all suns is rising.
Every day is a triumph!
Every day is a triumph!
Just a second.
A second...
- I have...
- You're awfully tense.
- It's my back, I've got...
- Relax.
It's plexitis.
I can sense everything,
don't worry. Relax.
It's alright, nothing to worry about.
My plexitis just got better!
Yes.
- And where's that girl?
- What girl?
The other psychic.
There is no other.
Ms. Nyagolova is the only psychic.
But we heard that...
that it was Col. Platnikov's daughter.
- Nothing but rumors.
- Mr. Minister.
This secret operation
only ever had one psychic -
Pirina Nyagolova.
I see.
You know, you better see
for yourself what this is all about.
I don't see a thing.
- Careful.
- Platnikov!
- Aye!
- Where the hell are you?
- Get over here, I can't see a thing.
- Wait for the group.
- What?
- It's pitch-black in here.
- Let's keep close together.
- Affirmative.
This here is the second energy portal.
How many more are there?
- Twenty one.
- Whoa!
So when did they plant that Chamber here?
When, uh.... How long has it been here?
Since the beginning of time.
Not sure you can even imagine
how long that is.
- From before Christ?
- Of course.
It's made of some very
special material too.
Say, Platnikov,
what was it called again?
It's an atypical amalgam
of ortho- and metagranites.
Right, right.
Pretty steep here.
Holy cow!
This is the Accelerator.
- So now what?
- This way please.
Is there still a long way to go?
No, we're almost there. This way.
Straight ahead. Careful.
- Can you climb up?
- I can't. No, I can't.
Don't worry, don't worry.
I'll support you from behind.
Easy.
- I got stuck!
- Relax.
Just a few more steps.
Right here. This is the place.
This is the Chamber.
- Where?
- Please, this way.
- Where exactly is that chamber?
- Just a few more steps.
So, here beyond this wall is the Capsule.
And you're sure that this is a chamber?
And there's something in it?
Well, go ahead and touch it.
You'll feel the energy yourself.
- Can it cure diabetes?
- Absolutely.
You mustn't overdo it the first time.
That's enough.
Let's head back.
Well then,
why don't you get that capsule out,
if you're so sure it's in there?
Cause elections are coming and...
We made a full circle
around the Chamber, Mr. Minister.
There's no entrance. We can't get in.
Well, make your
own entrance, you're the army, after all.
We're giving you so much money anyway.
So...
The Guides won't let us use...
Oops.
...more potent resources.
That's right, Col. Platnikov,
but I can sense
that we might get exclusive permission,
especially if the Minister
would ask them personally.
Really?
- What happened to her?
- Ms. Nyagolova, are you alright?
- Nyagolova?
- Are you hurt?
- What happened, damn it?
- She hit her head.
We've got permission.
- Platnikov. Get to it.
- Affirmative.
Slava, sweetie.
Eat a bit, you haven't eaten all day.
It's very tasty.
Come on.
Open up.
You can't ride
the capsule on an empty stomach.
If they see a hungry person
in the capsule, they send them back.
Come on.
Now we're going to find the capsule
and everything will be okay.
Just eat a little.
Come on, you can't go to space
on an empty stomach.
It doesn't work that way.
You can't fly in space if you're hungry.
Come on.
Well done!
How about that, huh? Yummy, no?
Well done.
Daddy's little girl.
Daddy's little sunshine.
You're not my daddy.
My daddy is a Commander 3rd rank.
He's with The Guides now,
but on the 22nd of this month he'll come
and get me with the capsule,
and take me... home...
...to mom.
My daddy. He...
...would never...
...take my love away from me.
He knows that the two of us are destined
to give birth to the new race.
Roupchev, did you reach the capsule?
Do you read me, Roupchev?
Roupchev?
Give it a rest, huh?
- What?
- I'm sayin' you should take a break.
Come on.
What?
Come on.
There are
two more meters and 50 centimeters
left to the goal...
First it was 85 centimeters.
But then they weren't Earth centimeters,
they were galactic centimeters!
Now it's 2.5 meters the other way!
Bloody surprise!
Yolo.
Why are you playing tricks on us?
I brought the Private back,
since he's so important for the operation.
He is important, isn't he?
Yolo.
They will start a new race, right?
What's wrong with you?
Get dressed. Go on, get!
I'm talking to you by telepathy...
- No!
- What do you mean "no"?
- No!
- Give it to me.
No!
- Give it to me, I need it!
- No!
No! Stop it!
- Give it here!
- Leave me alone!
Come on, please! Come on!
- I said stop!
- Give it to me! Please!
Let go!
- No!
- Gimme!
Cut it out, will you!
I'm begging you! Stop!
- Gimme, gimme, gimme!
- Get up!
Who are you? You're not him!
No!
- You're not him!
- What?
Where's your antenna?
- Who are you?
- It's me!
Me who?
- I'll go get the colonel, you stay here.
- You're not him!
You're not him!
Something terrible has happened... Slava?
- Slava!
- Slava!
Slava!
Where's Slava?
- I don't know!
- What do you mean you don't know?
- I said where is Slava?
- She hit me on the head and ran away!
Please, Mr. General... Colonel, I beg you!
- Colonel, calm down!
- Where is Slava!
- Where is Slava? She's gone!
- We'll find her!
- Colonel, calm down, we'll find her!
- Slava?
Give it to me.
Put the weapon down, Colonel!
- Take that rifle off him!
- Slava!
We're wasting time,
let's go search for her!
- Slava!
- Slava!
- Slava!
- Slava!
Slava!
- Slava!
- Slava!
Mom...
- Slava!
- I'll be a while longer.
I have to close the channel.
Slava!
Boom!
Booom!
I said "Boom"!
Sla...
That was a controlled explosion.
Everything is under control.
No one was seriously injured.
I want to emphasize that.
The background radiation levels
are absolutely normal.
Like I said,
it's a classified military operation.
A successful one, I want to emphasize!
All initial goals
have been accomplished.
Unfortunately,
I can't reveal more details.
So I wish you a wonderful evening.
Slava...
Slava!
Come on, Slava, we are leaving.
THE HOLE
Comrade General, we're good to go.
- Carry on.
- Yes, sir!
Private.
- Keep an eye on her.
- Yes, sir!
Chernev, haven't we gotten past
two meters already?
We have.
It's no use, comrade General,
let's pack up and leave.
Nyagolova?
Well, what do you expect?
They blocked the field.
So what do we do now?
Come on, boys, fill it up.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Go on, what are you waiting for?
Colonel, your daughter!
- Don't mind her, it's something she does.
- Don't interrupt her.
- Sweetie, cut it out.
- Step back.
Back off! Back, back, back, back!
She does that spinning thing
all the time...
Are you...
...my mom?
- Slava, get up, you'll catch a cold!
- Platnikov!
Lie still, my child, lie still.
It's okay, don't worry.
This is the place!
Get on it.
Private!
This way. Breathe.
Go, go, go, go!
Go, go!
Here, here! Here!
Platnikov.
Sit down.
Comrade General. Permission
to take my daughter back to Sofia.
First you ask me to bring her along,
now you want to take her away.
Yes. I'm sorry. But you know how it is...
She just got better and this here
could upset her again.
It's 20 minutes to Sofia,
20 minutes back, that's 40 minutes.
You know I have a soft spot for you
and you're taking advantage of it.
- Not at all...
- Oh yes, you are.
Slava!
- Come on, we're leaving.
- Stay.
Why do you treat your daughter like a...
- Please, stay out of this.
- Your wife...
Your daughter has a special gift.
Do not suffocate her.
Stop! Get back, get back!
- E.R.
- What's that?
Energetic reflectorine.
Comrade General, that's not a thing...
Quick, get back,
get ten meters back. Everyone, quick!
- Fall back, fall back!
- Quickly!
You might get deactiminated!
Take cover!
Colonel, please,
I can barely hold it back!
Platnikov,
get the hell out of there right now!
Hurry up, damn you!
Get down!
What's wrong with you,
are you out of your mind?
You come back here, my child.
My bag.
Go stand there.
Get down.
Your hands.
Let me.
This is Yolo speaking.
In the name of the Galactic Assembly...
...I salute you!
What you seek here
shall grant you the power... to change
the world order!
Bulgaria...
shall lead mankind...
...to a triumph!
Yolo?
Tell us what we're looking for exactly
and how to carry on from here.
Nyagolova?
Are you alright?
Nyagolova!
Slava, how is Nyagolova?
Water!
Spassov, toss her the water!
Should we come over to you?
Phase One: the reflectorine
is to be evacuated in a westerly direction
in order to unlock the energy portal.
Use living force...
Uh, only living force, that is.
Phase Two: a tunnel is to be dug
at a 45-degree angle with a width of...
One, two, three, four, five...
A width of 1.75 meters,
and to a depth of...
five meters and 30 centimeters
to the object.
What's that object?
Platnikov, sit down.
Passage through the portal
will be granted only to those with...
And this symbol here...
Well, this usually means "stars".
But I'm not sure exactly
how to interpret it in this case.
It may be...
- Nyagolova?
- Yes?
We have stars.
That's exactly right!
Well done!
Well done. That's all.
I declare the start
of a classified operation code-named...
"Triumph".
- Platnikov.
- Yes, sir.
In your capacity of Head of the Science
Department you will be in charge.
- Chernev.
- Yes, sir!
Logistics. Everything you need.
No resources will be spared.
- Yes, Comrade General, sir!
- Nyagolova and Miss Platnikova
will be in charge of communications.
It will be an honor, General!
- But Comrade General!
- But what?
You gave me permission to bring
my daughter back to Sofia.
Ah, that's right. Nyagolova?
Will you be needing
Miss Platnikova any further?
- Oh, yes. And she'll be needing me.
- Mm-hm. So she stays!
Go, go, go, go!
This side! Lift it!
Heave! Heave!
Come on, it's coming out!
Go, heave!
Heave!
It got stuck!
Easy, man, easy!
Easy, watch your feet!
Over there, in the open spot.
Careful, careful!
You have to be more gentle!
A little more to your... back, back!
Over to where he's standing.
Stop! Now clean it.
Polish it until it shines.
Just don't scrub it so roughly.
Gently, carefully. You all know
what you've got on your hands.
Stop. Dry it off.
Back away.
Come on, sweetheart.
Come on.
There, Slava. I've got it.
I've got it. Roupchev?
We're done, Slava! Thank you!
We did it!
We have reached the 18th energy circle...
...which brings us to what?
- The Seventh Zone!
- Well done, my girl!
I love you, my girl!
At ease.
I'll go to decontaminate the field.
There's no time.
We still have a lot of work ahead of us.
We've reached the Seventh Zone!
Congrats. That is... congratulations.
Colonel.
What is it, sweetheart?
- May I go down the...
- What's that?
May I go down the hole too,
Lieutenant Nyagolova?
No, Slava, you may not.
How many times do I have to tell you?
You know you can only go in if you
have stars. Go get some rest. Go on!
- Double-quick!
- But...
Mom...
Dad promised to talk to the general
about giving me stars,
too, just like he gave Pirina.
Mom... I'll be with you soon.
We're already in the Seventh Zone.
Wait for us.
Slava?
Slava? Slava.
You're all set.
Every day is a triumph.
Every day is a triumph!
Colonel, continue digging
for 62 centimeters straight ahead,
then turn 14 degrees due east.
Another 53 cm-long
straight section will follow
but you will have to increase
the incline by five degrees.
And be careful because
the field in the Seventh Zone
is more dense and you may experience
some serious physical disturbances.
Slight vertigo, cold sweat...
Don't worry though, you're protected.
The stars keep you safe
from more serious reactions.
- Bucket!
- Give it here.
Visualization is over,
thank you, sweetheart.
The French press has never dedicated
so much space to Bulgaria.
The preliminary results of our elections
are all over the front pages,
says our Paris
correspondent Veselin Vasilev.
All the newspapers,
from the right-wing Figaro
to the communist L'Humanit,
are noting
that the Socialist Party is the former
Communist Party,
and many are pointing out that Bulgaria
is the only Eastern European country
where the communists are being
democratically reelected to power.
Look up there and you'll see.
They pass by every day, there.
- Where?
- Above the tree there. A Soviet satellite.
They watch us every night.
They know we're on to something big.
Radev, do you know how
many satellites pass by every minute?
Sure. You're not saying it's only
the USSR that's watching us, are you?
Of course not. NATO too.
Colonel, what do you think the object is?
What are your hypotheses?
I think it's some sort
of a psychotronic weapon. Very powerful.
That's why they're all watching -
they want to find out what it is.
Absolutely.
I think we're looking for Noah's Arc.
- Why?
- What are you laughing at? Very funny.
The Biblical Flood took place
here at the Black Sea.
- So?
- So when it came flooding in,
it reached all the way to here.
Here's where the Arc got stuck.
Roupchev, stop thinking like an ordinaire.
Well, boss,
I'm just a simple orderly after all.
Perhaps it's some meteorite
made of a previously unknown material
or a new chemical element.
How hard it is indeed for a man
to overcome his cognitive limitations.
- To overcome what?
- Never mind.
Colonel, the new recruits have arrived.
Thank you. Do you know
where my daughter is?
Yes, she's out in the field,
calibrating herself.
- Would you save a plate for her?
- Yes, sir.
Make me a plate for Slava.
That's a nice bean soup.
Hey, cutie!
- Watch where you're going!
- Easy there, moustache!
- I'll give you a moustache.
- I'm sorry!
You're sorry, huh?
Attention! Give me 200!
I said give me 200 push-ups! Count.
- First...
- What's this "first"?
It's "one". Start over. Count.
- One, two...
- Loud. Stop.
Again. One.
- One, two, three, four...
- Louder!
Four, five, six...
I want to hear you from
the bottom of the hole. You filthy gypsy.
Twenty, twenty-one,
twenty-two, twenty-three...
Twenty-four, twenty-five...
What's your name?
Tell me your name.
Don't run, tell me!
Fifty! Fifty-one, fifty-two...
Fifty-three, fifty-four, fifty-five...
Fifty-six, fifty-seven...
Fifty-eight. Fifty-nine.
Touch your nose.
About-face!
Give me a wave.
You and your metal detector!
That's not the kind of treasure
we're looking for, don't you get it?
Oh, really? Why are you avoiding me, huh?
- Go brush your teeth.
- You go wash your cunt.
- You're embarrassing yourself.
- And what about you?
First you hop on my dick,
then the general's,
now you hover over Platnikov's.
- Asshole.
- Ingrate.
- You're contaminating the field.
- So what?
- You'll clean it up.
- I'll scream.
What are you doing to him?
We're gonna roast you like a chicken!
- Hey! Let go of him right now!
- Let's set his tail on fire.
- What are you doing to that animal!
- Back off! Who the hell are you?
Give me the rope!
I'll have you all deactiminated!
Deacti -what?
Give me back the rope! Give it back!
Get lost! Let go!
- Get lost!
- Give me the dog!
- Don't you bite! Give me the dog!
- Get lost!
Give me the mutt now! Give me the dog!
Hey, you brats!
- Let the girl go!
- Get lost, gramps!
- I'm gonna show you who's "gramps".
- You are!
Get lost. Leave the girl alone.
Off with you, I said! Get lost!
You little shits.
- It's alright.
- Don't you dare come back!
Good boy!
Are you okay, miss?
Don't be afraid. It's all good.
Degenerates! I said get out of here!
- Hey, hey. Look at me.
- Freaks!
These are the fruits of communism!
How are you, miss?
Forgive my foul language, but...
Did they hurt you?
What's your friend's name? Boy or girl?
- Does he or she have a name?
- Antares.
Antares?
Where does it come from, "Antares"?
Antares is a red supergiant, the brightest
star of the Scorpius constellation.
Impressive. Where did you get
all that knowledge about space?
Could it be connected with your work?
I have to go, contact hour is approaching.
Whoa, contact? With space?
I'm not at liberty to comment.
May I ask you about your sign, young miss?
- Aquarius.
- Aquarius?
Did you know that we're just about
to enter the Age of Aquarius? Your moment.
Such a lucky girl,
here in the middle of the field.
And what's your name, miss?
- Slava.
- Slava? Beautiful name.
Slava, would you be so kind
as to grant this old ornithologist a wish?
Allow me to take a photo of you
for my album of birds most rare.
May I photograph you
together with your friend Antarex?
- Antares.
- Antares, yes.
You can squat down right here,
the light is perfect.
Here, Antares! Come here!
Antares? Come on, boy.
- Antares, sit.
- Look this way.
Slava, you're way too serious.
A little smile?
That's right. And click!
Loosen your hand, loosen it.
See how we cleared up the pink?
Every day is a triumph!
Today we'll familiarize ourselves
with the deactimination hazard protocol.
Let's split up into pairs.
Weak bio-field -strong bio-field.
- Should we hold hands?
- No, I'll tell you what to do.
Come this way.
Okay. The weak
bio-field lies down on the ground.
Slava, lie down. Hands above your head.
Go on.
Right.
Hands above your head. That's right. Now.
The strong bio-field
has to open the gate
of the deactiminated person's life cycle.
Compress yourself a bit, will you.
The chest protects the heart center.
Well done.
This is the point of the Hall of Sigils.
It must match the point
of the Hall of Sigils
of the subject of deactimination.
You count to ten.
One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten.
In the meantime
you must introduce peace and calm
into the absolute chaos that the subject
of deactimination has been cast into.
After that we check for double vision
and we evacuate.
- Radev, check me.
- Evacuation is executed
via rotating motion
to the left or to the right.
Put your arms around me. Go on then.
And!
Easy, Radev!
What is it?
I wish I had eyes like yours.
You are a woman,
and a woman has to be in control
of the feminine force.
Do like this.
Such soft skin you've got.
- I sometimes feel awful in my skin.
- Why?
I don't know. It doesn't fit.
As if someone jammed me
into someone else's body.
That's because your spirit
hasn't connected with your body yet.
Body and spirit must be one.
Like when you're dancing.
Here, hang on.
Get up.
Up, I said!
We're gonna try something out.
Now we'll make the body express the soul.
Go on, relax into it.
Relax!
Relax, let go, let it go.
And one, two, three!
Hang on, I'll show you. Look here.
So, we go one - elbow, two - elbow,
one - elbow, two - elbow...
No, tuck your elbows in.
Don't you see how I do it?
See?
Tuck them in.
One - tuck, one - tuck, one...
Oh, Slava!
- You really do come from another planet.
- Yeah.
Look here! One and two, and...
Nyagolova.
Stop. Quiet.
Colonel, we have an information blackout.
The Guides said to suspend work while
channel maintenance is being carried out.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
Cheers!
Relax, relax.
Miss Nyagolova, may I invite you to dance?
Um, let me finish my meal first.
Miss Platnikova.
- A dance?
- Yes!
- Go on, Chernev!
- Slava, sweetie, these modern dances...
I don't get them.
A post-communist transition dance.
Roupchev? Take over, you're younger.
Colonel, please save me from the major.
- Uh, okay...
- Miss Nyagolova, a dance.
- Um, Major Chernev...
- Colonel?
How are you doing?
Come on!
- Major Chernev is very annoying sometimes.
- Yes.
Thank you for saving me.
No, look, I have to thank you.
Apologize even.
What for?
Well, because I treated
your methods with contempt,
and you've actually done
so much for my daughter.
So, uh... I've been blind
to many things. I'm sorry.
I have to tell you that I can finally see
your aura absolutely crystal clear now.
Hey, what the...
Slava!
Slava, come here. That's enough.
Is this what I put you here for?
- General, we...
- Is this your idea
of a highly classified operation?
Is this what you call "a triumph"?
Comrade General,
we had an information blackout...
- A blackout?
- Affirmative, sir.
You call this an information blackout?
What are you looking at? Read!
The Bulgarian Army is dig...
...is digging in search
of extraterrestrial intelligence.
What?
Slava on the... What?
The girl named Slava,
who introduced herself as the psychic
in charge... The psychic in charge?
She doesn't talk to strangers.
- There's no mention of me.
- She didn't know she was photographed.
What do you mean she didn't know?
Who is in the photos?
Read on, read!
- But who gave her permission to...
- Read on!
When asked
why they're digging at that exact spot
the army's chief psychic
said that the general had a dream,
in which Levski and Benkovski
appeared to personally tell him that...
Not Benkovski - Botev! It was Botev!
Comrade General, calm down.
- I'll be alright...
- Let's go inside and put you in a chair.
- Come sit.
- Everything is good.
The new minister has summoned me tomorrow
to explain why the fuck we're digging
this 70-meter hole
in the middle of nowhere.
So tell me what I should say to him. Hm?
Tell me.
Should I show him this?
- This?
- This is a...
I should show this to the minister,
is that what you want?
Or those bloody rocks over there?
When are we going to have results?
When are we going to have results!
I want to know what the object is
and when we're going to reach it.
Not tomorrow, not the day
after tomorrow, not in five months - now!
Right fucking now!
- We are...
- Or I'll remove you all
from the operation, every last one of you!
I'll be damned if I put up
with such amateurs!
I'll bring psychics over from the USSR!
The object is a quantum capsule
for transportation to the mothership.
The capsule is located
inside a protective chamber,
the entrance to which
is just a few meters away.
- What was that? Speak louder.
- She...
The object is a quantum capsule
for transportation to the mothership.
The capsule is located
inside a protective chamber,
the entrance to which
is just a few meters away.
- She's been going through my notes.
- No, I received this now.
- I don't give a rat's ass. Repeat.
- She's...
Silence!
The object is a quantum capsule
for transportation to the mothership.
The capsule is located
inside a protective chamber,
the entrance to which
is just a few meters away.
Mr. General, she's tired,
she doesn't know what she's talking about.
Please, take her outside. Please.
Mr. General, let me connect
you with the Guides in person.
- Like where - in the capsule?
- Slava.
- Slava!
- No, right here.
- Here?
- That's right. But I must warn you:
- You. Cannot. Shout at them. Okay?
- Yes. Sorry.
Because they are delicate creatures.
And they wouldn't allow
negative vibrations of any sort.
Forgive me, dear, but you have
no idea how much I've got on my plate.
The Union, the Soviet Union
is falling apart, can you imagine?
And in the meantime some pussies
are telling me that we should join NATO!
- This country is chock-full of idiots!
- Affirmative!
No sane people left in this country!
Didn't I warn you
this was going to happen?
Just tell me honestly, didn't I warn you?
Two years ago.
You warned me two years ago.
Colonel, please help the General remove
all metallic objects from his person.
And you, sweetheart, you come with me.
Come, come.
- All metallic objects, all of them.
- Understood.
Come.
Do you even realize
the treachery that you committed
against your father,
against the general
and against all of us
who put our faith in you?
- But they... they told me that...
- Go to bed!
But I thought we were
about to make contact...
Do you honestly think
I cannot make contact without you?
The chief psychic!
You know what? I can't believe it.
I can't believe that this
is how you're thanking me
for everything I've done for you.
I don't need you, got it?
Go to bed.
Go to bed.
I'm all set.
What about this?
What have you let them do to you again?
Get rid of it.
Put your hands here.
That's right.
Are you ready?
Pirina to Yolo.
Pirina to Yolo.
Our commander on Earth, General Zlatev,
would like to talk to you in person.
This is Yolo speaking.
General Zlatev is a Level Nine Entity
and I am not worthy
of conversing with him.
I will put you through to
a Representative of an appropriate rank.
Mom...
Do you believe in me?
Come on!
You stay like that
until the sun rises above the horizon.
So until we find the capsule,
you'll support your bio-energetic
integrity with this reflectorine.
- So there's still a chance for me?
- One hundred percent.
Do I have to look at the sun?
Oh, come now. If you look
directly at it, you'll go blind.
No, you just put your hand
on the reflectorine and breathe deeply,
just like I've taught you.
Roger. Platnikov, just keep in mind
that they're going to want to come
and see what's going on.
- The minister?
- Not only him.
I got a call from the president's national
security adviser too.
So next time we come,
you make sure there are no blunders.
By all means, comrade general!
At ease now and off to your beds.
Platnikov, aren't you gonna go to sleep?
Carry on.
I serve the Republic of Bulgaria!
Safe travels.
When you said you'd replace me with some
Soviet psychic, you were joking, right?
I would never!
Pirina, dear, I'm sorry about before,
but what can you expect
from an old and ailing general?
Mon gnral! You are a hawk!
And you will fly so high!
The whole world will be at your feet!
Bon voyage!
Sleep.
Sleep.
Sleep.
Go to sleep.
Lulla-lulla-lullaby...
Lulla-lulla-lullaby...
Lulla-lulla-lullaby...
Lulla-lulla-lullaby...
Slava summons The Guides.
Send me a signal.
- Hey...
- What are you doing here?
They'll deactiminate us!
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine...
How many fingers am I holding up?
Um, one?
What was that?
Our fields are in sync...
Can you feel it? Our frequencies match.
Reflection...
Refraction...
Dispersion...
Absorption...
Attenuation...
Diffraction...
Interference...
Every day is a triumph!
Colonel, take a 73 degrees turn due east
and continue digging for 85 centimeters
straight ahead. Over.
Colonel, that's 85 degrees northwest
and 63 centimeters straight ahead.
Say again.
What's going on, sweetheart?
- I'm transmitting the correct data.
- Lieutenant, do you read?
Chernev, Nyagolova's radio is dead.
This is Nyagolova.
Take a 73-degree turn due...
Dad, that's 85 degrees northwest.
- Nyagolova?
- Give it here! Give it!
Nyagolova, do you read me?
What's going on, was that my daughter?
What's wrong with you,
sweetheart, you're not yourself!
I'm not your sweetheart, I'm no child!
Nor am I some sort of conductor!
I can receive the signals too.
Oh, is that so?
And I also know that all the information
that you're relaying is false.
We're having communication issues again.
What's the direction?
- 85 degrees northwest!
- Your daughter needs to rest.
You need to drink some water, sweetheart.
The direction is 73 degrees east.
You drink your own water.
Dad, listen to me. She's lying to us.
What?
Last night I went down the hole.
I wasn't deactiminated, on the contrary.
- And what's the contrary?
- I got centered.
- Oh, Slava.
- So now my field is much more powerful...
...than yours.
You... don't you...
...believe me?
I'll show you.
- Watch!
- Where are you going?
Slava, wait! Slava, stop,
you'll activate the safety protocol!
Stop, I tell you!
- Slava, sweetie, what are you doing here?
- Back off!
Who let you in here? Slava?
Take her out of here,
they'll deactiminate us!
- Let go of me!
- Let go of her right now!
Who do you think you are?!
Nothing will happen to her!
If nothing has happened so far,
nothing will happen!
Besides, she has already been down here.
Don't you think you ought to be
a little more strict,
especially after her press blunder?
That wouldn't have happened,
if you'd let her in the tunnel,
instead of having her prop up
the reflectorine and then fool around.
Prop it up?
Is that what you think we're doing here?
Lt. Nyagolova, this discussion is over!
Let's focus on what's important.
What's next, Slava?
Don't push so hard.
It's here, the capsule!
- Oh, finally.
- In here!
- Dad, we're going to fly in it!
- Yes, sweetie.
- We're gonna fly!
- Yes, baby girl.
Which way should we dig now?
The... en-... trance... is...
- This way.
- This way?
I felt it. I felt it! I really felt it!
Well done! Lt. Nyagolova?
Well... in light of this bad imitation
I'd say that the entrance...
it makes no sense that the entrance
would be where the sun goes down.
What bad imitation?
Hers.
- Was she imitating someone?
- Me.
Really? I didn't notice.
You don't think the entrance is this way?
I don't think , Colonel.
I relay what is being transmitted to me.
Is that clear?
Nyagolova, that's no way to talk
to a superior officer. Leave at once.
Off with you, right now!
Lt. Nyagolova, that's an order!
- Yes, sir.
- We'll dig in both directions.
Help me!
Help me, help me, help me...
Give me a sign.
Show me how to go on.
To throw a stone far away
you mustn't lean forward.
You must take two steps back!
- Good night.
- Good night, Col. Platnikov!
Nyagolova, are you alright?
Yes. Everything's fine. Go to bed.
Good night then.
Are you going to sit here in the cold
all alone now?
You got something to warm up with?
I don't have any glasses.
Slava to Sirius Seven.
I'm ready for a recharge.
Slava to Sirius Seven.
I'm ready for a recharge.
Slava to Sirius Seven.
I'm ready for a recharge.
Slava to Sirius Seven.
I'm ready for a recharge.
Slava to Sirius Seven.
I'm ready for a recharge.
...diffusion...
...diffraction...
...interference...
Every day is a triumph.
- Didn't you have enough, Slava?
- I'm very hungry this morning.
- May I have some more?
- Sure.
They blocked us from the world,
Accused us of subversion,
Beat us up at the precinct
And gave themselves a medal
Hid away in residencies,
Built camps...
Colonel! Colonel!
- Come here!
- Colonel, stop it! No!
Communism's leavin',
children, sleep tight
Let go of him!
Let go of him!
- Let go of him!
- Get away, Slava.
- Our souls are bound together!
- Get him out of my sight!
Our bodies are preordained! Let him go!
He must join me on the mothership!
Slava, let go!
He must get on the mothership with me!
No! No! No!
Let go!
No!
Enough! Calm down.
Let him go!
Let him go...
Communism's leavin',
children, sleep tight
Give me her hand. Easy!
Spread it open, spread it! That's right.
Oh, dear. I can't... I can't get access!
He has blocked her up completely!
Go to the others. Come on...
I'll take care of her.
Simeon, did you hear what I said?
Simeon! Remember what the Guides said?
There's cosmogenic energy
in the capsule that heals everything!
The sooner we find the capsule,
the sooner she'll get better!
Mom...
I'm here.
The sun rises in my soul!
The Divine rises in me and in my spirit!
Hurry up!
On your feet! I need the entrance
to the capsule open by tomorrow morning!
You are creatures... of spirit...
...and body...
Nyagolova!
Every day is a triumph!
Colonel? Maj. Chernev called
and said to raise alert.
The delegation is arriving any moment.
- This dog needs to disappear.
- Affirmative!
Take it to the forest, I don't care.
We're having guests.
You have to stay here.
And keep quiet. Quiet, dear.
It's for your own good.
The sun rises in my soul.
The sun rises in my soul.
The Divine rises in me and in my spirit.
The Divine rises in me and in my spirit.
The sun rises in my heart.
The sun rises in my heart.
The sun of all suns is rising.
The sun of all suns is rising.
Every day is a triumph!
Every day is a triumph!
Just a second.
A second...
- I have...
- You're awfully tense.
- It's my back, I've got...
- Relax.
It's plexitis.
I can sense everything,
don't worry. Relax.
It's alright, nothing to worry about.
My plexitis just got better!
Yes.
- And where's that girl?
- What girl?
The other psychic.
There is no other.
Ms. Nyagolova is the only psychic.
But we heard that...
that it was Col. Platnikov's daughter.
- Nothing but rumors.
- Mr. Minister.
This secret operation
only ever had one psychic -
Pirina Nyagolova.
I see.
You know, you better see
for yourself what this is all about.
I don't see a thing.
- Careful.
- Platnikov!
- Aye!
- Where the hell are you?
- Get over here, I can't see a thing.
- Wait for the group.
- What?
- It's pitch-black in here.
- Let's keep close together.
- Affirmative.
This here is the second energy portal.
How many more are there?
- Twenty one.
- Whoa!
So when did they plant that Chamber here?
When, uh.... How long has it been here?
Since the beginning of time.
Not sure you can even imagine
how long that is.
- From before Christ?
- Of course.
It's made of some very
special material too.
Say, Platnikov,
what was it called again?
It's an atypical amalgam
of ortho- and metagranites.
Right, right.
Pretty steep here.
Holy cow!
This is the Accelerator.
- So now what?
- This way please.
Is there still a long way to go?
No, we're almost there. This way.
Straight ahead. Careful.
- Can you climb up?
- I can't. No, I can't.
Don't worry, don't worry.
I'll support you from behind.
Easy.
- I got stuck!
- Relax.
Just a few more steps.
Right here. This is the place.
This is the Chamber.
- Where?
- Please, this way.
- Where exactly is that chamber?
- Just a few more steps.
So, here beyond this wall is the Capsule.
And you're sure that this is a chamber?
And there's something in it?
Well, go ahead and touch it.
You'll feel the energy yourself.
- Can it cure diabetes?
- Absolutely.
You mustn't overdo it the first time.
That's enough.
Let's head back.
Well then,
why don't you get that capsule out,
if you're so sure it's in there?
Cause elections are coming and...
We made a full circle
around the Chamber, Mr. Minister.
There's no entrance. We can't get in.
Well, make your
own entrance, you're the army, after all.
We're giving you so much money anyway.
So...
The Guides won't let us use...
Oops.
...more potent resources.
That's right, Col. Platnikov,
but I can sense
that we might get exclusive permission,
especially if the Minister
would ask them personally.
Really?
- What happened to her?
- Ms. Nyagolova, are you alright?
- Nyagolova?
- Are you hurt?
- What happened, damn it?
- She hit her head.
We've got permission.
- Platnikov. Get to it.
- Affirmative.
Slava, sweetie.
Eat a bit, you haven't eaten all day.
It's very tasty.
Come on.
Open up.
You can't ride
the capsule on an empty stomach.
If they see a hungry person
in the capsule, they send them back.
Come on.
Now we're going to find the capsule
and everything will be okay.
Just eat a little.
Come on, you can't go to space
on an empty stomach.
It doesn't work that way.
You can't fly in space if you're hungry.
Come on.
Well done!
How about that, huh? Yummy, no?
Well done.
Daddy's little girl.
Daddy's little sunshine.
You're not my daddy.
My daddy is a Commander 3rd rank.
He's with The Guides now,
but on the 22nd of this month he'll come
and get me with the capsule,
and take me... home...
...to mom.
My daddy. He...
...would never...
...take my love away from me.
He knows that the two of us are destined
to give birth to the new race.
Roupchev, did you reach the capsule?
Do you read me, Roupchev?
Roupchev?
Give it a rest, huh?
- What?
- I'm sayin' you should take a break.
Come on.
What?
Come on.
There are
two more meters and 50 centimeters
left to the goal...
First it was 85 centimeters.
But then they weren't Earth centimeters,
they were galactic centimeters!
Now it's 2.5 meters the other way!
Bloody surprise!
Yolo.
Why are you playing tricks on us?
I brought the Private back,
since he's so important for the operation.
He is important, isn't he?
Yolo.
They will start a new race, right?
What's wrong with you?
Get dressed. Go on, get!
I'm talking to you by telepathy...
- No!
- What do you mean "no"?
- No!
- Give it to me.
No!
- Give it to me, I need it!
- No!
No! Stop it!
- Give it here!
- Leave me alone!
Come on, please! Come on!
- I said stop!
- Give it to me! Please!
Let go!
- No!
- Gimme!
Cut it out, will you!
I'm begging you! Stop!
- Gimme, gimme, gimme!
- Get up!
Who are you? You're not him!
No!
- You're not him!
- What?
Where's your antenna?
- Who are you?
- It's me!
Me who?
- I'll go get the colonel, you stay here.
- You're not him!
You're not him!
Something terrible has happened... Slava?
- Slava!
- Slava!
Slava!
Where's Slava?
- I don't know!
- What do you mean you don't know?
- I said where is Slava?
- She hit me on the head and ran away!
Please, Mr. General... Colonel, I beg you!
- Colonel, calm down!
- Where is Slava!
- Where is Slava? She's gone!
- We'll find her!
- Colonel, calm down, we'll find her!
- Slava?
Give it to me.
Put the weapon down, Colonel!
- Take that rifle off him!
- Slava!
We're wasting time,
let's go search for her!
- Slava!
- Slava!
- Slava!
- Slava!
Slava!
- Slava!
- Slava!
Mom...
- Slava!
- I'll be a while longer.
I have to close the channel.
Slava!
Boom!
Booom!
I said "Boom"!
Sla...
That was a controlled explosion.
Everything is under control.
No one was seriously injured.
I want to emphasize that.
The background radiation levels
are absolutely normal.
Like I said,
it's a classified military operation.
A successful one, I want to emphasize!
All initial goals
have been accomplished.
Unfortunately,
I can't reveal more details.
So I wish you a wonderful evening.
Slava...
Slava!
Come on, Slava, we are leaving.
THE HOLE
