"What was it? |
00:03:21 |
A visit of inhabitants |
00:03:25 |
One way or another, |
00:03:29 |
has seen the birth of a miracle - |
00:03:32 |
We immediately sent troops there. |
00:03:36 |
They haven't come back. |
00:03:38 |
Then we surrounded the Zone |
00:03:42 |
Perhaps, that was the right thing to |
00:03:46 |
From an interview with Nobel Prize |
00:09:34 |
Why did you take my watch? |
00:09:39 |
Where are you going, I'm asking you? |
00:09:45 |
You gave me your word |
00:09:54 |
All right, you're not thinking about |
00:09:58 |
Did you think about your child? |
00:10:02 |
She's just getting used to you, |
00:10:10 |
You've made an old woman of me. |
00:10:14 |
Not so loud, you'll wake up |
00:10:18 |
I can't wait for you forever. |
00:10:35 |
You wanted to start working! |
00:10:39 |
You've been promised |
00:10:45 |
I'll be back soon. |
00:10:49 |
You'll be back to prison! |
00:10:51 |
Though this time you'll get |
00:10:53 |
And for ten years you will have |
00:10:59 |
And I'll be dead in the meantime. |
00:11:04 |
Oh God, for me it's prison |
00:11:11 |
- Let me go! |
00:11:14 |
Let go, I said! |
00:11:25 |
Go! |
00:11:31 |
Be damned the day |
00:11:35 |
God himself has cursed you |
00:11:40 |
And me too, because of you, jerk! |
00:12:28 |
My dear, |
00:12:31 |
Therefore, there can be no telepathy, |
00:12:36 |
nothing like that. |
00:12:38 |
The world is ruled by cast-iron laws, |
00:12:43 |
Alas, those laws are never violated. |
00:12:46 |
They don't know how to be violated. |
00:12:49 |
So don't even hope for a UFO, |
00:12:54 |
And how about the Bermuda Triangle? |
00:12:58 |
I am. There is no Bermuda Triangle. |
00:13:02 |
There's only Triangle ABC that equals |
00:13:07 |
Do you feel the boredom |
00:13:12 |
To live in the Middle Ages was |
00:13:15 |
Every home had its house-spirit, |
00:13:19 |
People were young! |
00:13:23 |
It's so boring, my angel. |
00:13:26 |
But you said that the Zone |
00:13:29 |
was the product of a superior |
00:13:32 |
It must be boring, too, |
00:13:36 |
and no house spirits, |
00:13:41 |
Because if God is also |
00:13:46 |
then I don't know what to think. |
00:13:52 |
It's for me! Great! |
00:13:55 |
Goodbye, my dear friend. |
00:13:58 |
This lady was so kind as to agree |
00:14:02 |
She's a very courageous woman. |
00:14:05 |
I beg your pardon, your name is..? |
00:14:08 |
Are you really a stalker? |
00:14:17 |
Wait... I'll explain everything. |
00:14:27 |
Go... |
00:14:36 |
What a cretin! |
00:14:42 |
You did get drunk after all. |
00:14:44 |
Me? What do you mean? |
00:14:47 |
I had a drink, like one half |
00:14:51 |
The other half gets drunk. |
00:14:55 |
I just had a drink though. |
00:15:17 |
Damn it, what a mess here. |
00:15:34 |
Go on, drink. We've got time. |
00:15:39 |
How about a glass for the road? |
00:15:44 |
What do you think? |
00:15:59 |
Take it away. |
00:16:00 |
I see. Dry law. |
00:16:06 |
All right, we'll drink beer. |
00:16:10 |
Is he with us? |
00:16:12 |
Never mind, he'll sober up. |
00:16:24 |
Are you really a professor? |
00:16:27 |
If you don't mind. |
00:16:28 |
Then let me introduce myself. |
00:16:33 |
Your name is Writer. |
00:16:35 |
Well. And what is my name? |
00:16:37 |
Yours? Professor. |
00:16:41 |
I see. I'm a writer, |
00:16:44 |
so, naturally, everyone calls me |
00:16:47 |
- And what do you write about? |
00:16:51 |
Obviously, there's nothing else |
00:16:53 |
One should write about nothing at all. |
00:16:57 |
And what are you? A chemist? |
00:17:02 |
A physicist rather. |
00:17:04 |
That must be boring, too. |
00:17:09 |
It's hiding and you keep searching |
00:17:13 |
You dig in one place -- eureka! |
00:17:17 |
You dig in another -- great! |
00:17:19 |
Triangle ABC equals |
00:17:24 |
With me it's quite different. |
00:17:27 |
While I am digging for the truth, |
00:17:33 |
that instead of discovering the truth |
00:17:35 |
I dig up a heap of, pardon... |
00:17:45 |
You're lucky! |
00:17:47 |
But imagine some antique pot |
00:17:50 |
It was used at its time |
00:17:53 |
but now it's an object of |
00:17:57 |
for its laconic pattern |
00:18:00 |
Everyone goes oh! and ah! |
00:18:03 |
And suddenly it turns out |
00:18:08 |
that some joker has palmed it off |
00:18:12 |
just for fun. |
00:18:14 |
Strange as it may seem, the admiration |
00:18:18 |
Is it what you think about |
00:18:23 |
God forbid! |
00:18:25 |
In fact, I don't think much. |
00:18:28 |
It's impossible to write, thinking |
00:18:33 |
Naturlich! But if no one is going |
00:18:38 |
why the hell should I write at all? |
00:18:42 |
Tell me, Professor, why did you let |
00:18:47 |
What do you need the Zone for? |
00:18:50 |
I'm a scientist in some sense. |
00:18:56 |
But what do you need it for? |
00:18:59 |
You're an "in" writer. |
00:19:02 |
Women must be running after you |
00:19:05 |
My inspiration has been lost, |
00:19:11 |
Have you been used up? |
00:19:13 |
What? |
00:19:19 |
Do you hear it? Our train. |
00:19:29 |
- Have you taken the roof off the car? |
00:19:44 |
Luger, if I don't come back, |
00:20:06 |
Damn it, I forgot to buy cigarettes. |
00:20:10 |
Don't go back. |
00:20:13 |
- Why? |
00:20:16 |
- You're all like this. |
00:20:19 |
Believing such nonsense. |
00:20:23 |
Well, I'd better leave it for a rainy |
00:20:28 |
Are you really a scientist? |
00:22:03 |
Down! |
00:22:08 |
Don't move! |
00:22:39 |
Go and look, is there anyone there? |
00:22:46 |
Move it, for God's sake! |
00:22:54 |
There's no one there. |
00:22:56 |
Go to the other exit. |
00:23:24 |
Where on earth did you look, Writer? |
00:26:27 |
- You didn't forget the jerry can? |
00:26:45 |
Everything I told you before... |
00:26:48 |
is a lie. |
00:26:54 |
How would I know |
00:27:00 |
How would I know that actually |
00:27:05 |
Or that I actually don't want |
00:27:10 |
They are elusive things: |
00:27:12 |
the moment we name them, |
00:27:14 |
melts, dissolves |
00:27:20 |
My conscience wants vegetarianism |
00:27:24 |
And my subconscious is yearning |
00:27:28 |
But what do I want? |
00:27:32 |
World domination. |
00:27:34 |
Quiet! |
00:27:39 |
Why a diesel locomotive in the Zone? |
00:27:41 |
It services the outpost. |
00:27:45 |
They don't like going there. |
00:27:53 |
Take your places! |
00:27:58 |
The guards have arrived. |
00:29:07 |
Hurry! |
00:30:02 |
Go look if theres a trolley |
00:30:07 |
What trolley? |
00:30:31 |
Go back, I'll do it. |
00:32:25 |
The jerry can! |
00:32:51 |
Give it to me! |
00:32:54 |
Get rid of your knapsack, |
00:32:57 |
You may travel light, if you wish, |
00:33:02 |
If someone gets hit, |
00:33:05 |
If they see you, they'll kill you. |
00:33:07 |
When everything settles down, |
00:33:11 |
They'll pick you up in the morning. |
00:33:28 |
Can they catch up with us? |
00:33:30 |
They fear it like the plague. |
00:33:35 |
Fear what? |
00:37:46 |
Here we are... home, at last. |
00:37:53 |
How quiet it is. |
00:37:57 |
This is the quietest place in |
00:38:05 |
So beautiful here. |
00:38:09 |
What about us? |
00:38:10 |
Three men can't spoil the place |
00:38:13 |
Why? They can. |
00:38:19 |
It's strange that flowers don't |
00:38:25 |
Do you feel anything? |
00:38:26 |
I feel the stench of the bog. |
00:38:29 |
No, that's the river. There's a river |
00:38:33 |
There was a flower-bed nearby, |
00:38:39 |
The smell lingered |
00:38:45 |
Why did he do it? |
00:38:49 |
I don't know. |
00:38:52 |
I asked him why, too. |
00:38:55 |
And he said: |
00:38:59 |
I think he just came to hate the Zone. |
00:39:06 |
Porcupine, that's his name? |
00:39:10 |
A nickname, like yours. |
00:39:15 |
He had been taking people to the Zone |
00:39:19 |
He was my teacher. |
00:39:26 |
He was called Teacher then, |
00:39:33 |
Then something happened to him, |
00:39:39 |
Though I think |
00:39:42 |
Will you help me? Tie those strips |
00:39:47 |
And I... will go for a walk. |
00:39:52 |
I need to do something... |
00:40:06 |
Don't go anywhere. |
00:40:15 |
Where's he going? |
00:40:18 |
He wants to be alone, I guess. |
00:40:20 |
Why? Even with the three of us |
00:40:26 |
A date with the Zone. |
00:40:31 |
And what does that mean? |
00:40:34 |
You see, being a stalker |
00:40:38 |
- I thought he'd be different. |
00:40:42 |
Well, you know, the Leather Stockings, |
00:40:47 |
His background is even more frightful. |
00:40:50 |
Several times in prison, |
00:40:54 |
He has a mutant daughter, |
00:40:57 |
They say she's got no legs. |
00:41:03 |
And what about this Porcupine? |
00:41:06 |
What does it mean, "was punished"? |
00:41:10 |
Or was it just a figure of speech? |
00:41:14 |
One day Porcupine returned from here |
00:41:20 |
and got rich overnight. |
00:41:24 |
Fabulously rich. |
00:41:26 |
You call it punishment? |
00:41:29 |
A week later he hanged himself. |
00:41:32 |
Why? |
00:41:34 |
Quiet! |
00:41:38 |
What was that? |
00:43:31 |
Presumably a meteorite fell down |
00:43:37 |
It had burned down the settlement. |
00:43:40 |
They searched for this meteorite, |
00:43:46 |
Why "of course"? |
00:43:48 |
Then people began disappearing here. |
00:43:52 |
They came here and never returned. |
00:43:57 |
So it was concluded... |
00:43:59 |
that this meteorite |
00:44:05 |
At first... |
00:44:09 |
they circled the place with barbed |
00:44:17 |
All this gave rise to rumours |
00:44:25 |
where wishes come true. |
00:44:27 |
Naturally, they began to guard |
00:44:35 |
Who knows what kind of fish |
00:44:40 |
What was it if not a meteorite? |
00:44:46 |
I told you, no one knows. |
00:44:49 |
And what do you think? |
00:44:53 |
Nothing. |
00:44:59 |
A message to mankind, |
00:45:03 |
Or a gift. |
00:45:10 |
Some gift. |
00:45:13 |
Why on earth would they do it? |
00:45:15 |
To make us happy. |
00:45:21 |
The flowers are blooming again, |
00:45:26 |
Sorry for leaving you two here, |
00:45:35 |
Did you hear it? |
00:45:38 |
Maybe someone lives here? |
00:45:41 |
Who? |
00:45:44 |
You told me yourself |
00:45:47 |
about some tourists camped here |
00:45:52 |
There's no one in the Zone and |
00:45:59 |
Well, it's time. |
00:46:46 |
How are we going to return? |
00:46:49 |
- They don't return here. |
00:46:53 |
We'll go as we agreed. |
00:47:01 |
I'll show the direction. |
00:47:04 |
Any deviation from it is dangerous. |
00:47:08 |
The first landmark is that last pole. |
00:47:12 |
You go first, Professor. |
00:47:27 |
Now you. |
00:47:36 |
Try to follow in his footsteps. |
00:48:54 |
Oh, my God! And where are... |
00:48:57 |
Did they remain here like that? |
00:49:02 |
Who knows. |
00:49:04 |
I remember them packing at the station, |
00:49:10 |
I was just a boy. |
00:49:13 |
We all thought then |
00:49:23 |
You first, Professor. |
00:49:33 |
Now you, Writer. |
00:51:58 |
Your room is over there. |
00:52:04 |
Why were you hiking up the price? |
00:52:10 |
Yes, but the hand |
00:52:15 |
We don't have such a hand. |
00:53:21 |
Don't! Leave it alone! |
00:53:24 |
Don't touch it! |
00:53:29 |
Don't touch it, I said! |
00:53:32 |
Are you crazy? What's the matter |
00:53:38 |
It's not the place for leisurely |
00:53:42 |
The Zone wants to be respected. |
00:53:44 |
Don't you ever try it again... |
00:53:52 |
I warned you, didn't I? |
00:53:54 |
Are we to go there? |
00:53:57 |
Yes. Up, enter it and to the left. |
00:54:00 |
Only we are not going this way. |
00:54:06 |
Why? |
00:54:09 |
People don't go this way. |
00:54:11 |
In the Zone, the longer way, |
00:54:15 |
And to go straight ahead is fatal? |
00:54:17 |
He told you it's dangerous. |
00:54:19 |
- And making a detour's not dangerous? |
00:54:23 |
What do I care that they don't? |
00:54:26 |
Listen, what's the matter with you... |
00:54:28 |
To go all the way around! |
00:54:31 |
Here a risk, there a risk. |
00:54:35 |
You're being very flippant |
00:54:40 |
I'm fed up with all those nuts |
00:54:43 |
You may do as you wish, |
00:54:47 |
- You're insane. |
00:54:50 |
May I? |
00:55:03 |
The wind is coming up... |
00:55:07 |
Can you feel it? The grass... |
00:55:18 |
All the more so. |
00:55:22 |
What do you mean? |
00:55:39 |
Wait! |
00:55:40 |
Keep your hands off! |
00:55:43 |
Professor be my witness, |
00:55:49 |
You go of your own will. |
00:55:52 |
Of my own will. What else? |
00:55:55 |
Nothing. Go. |
00:56:04 |
God help you to be lucky. |
00:56:20 |
Listen! |
00:56:22 |
Should you notice something, |
00:56:25 |
or just feel something, |
00:56:28 |
go back at once, or... |
00:56:31 |
Just don't throw iron poles at me. |
00:57:40 |
Stop! Don't move! |
00:57:46 |
- Why did you do it? |
00:57:50 |
- Why did you stop him? |
00:58:33 |
What's up? |
00:58:38 |
I didn't stop you. |
00:58:39 |
Who did it then? You? |
00:58:46 |
Who the hell knows... |
00:58:50 |
You're smart, Mister Shakespeare. |
00:58:53 |
To go straight ahead is scary, |
00:58:56 |
So you gave yourself a command. |
00:59:02 |
- What? |
00:59:04 |
- Why have you emptied the bottle? |
00:59:22 |
The Zone is a very complicated system... |
00:59:29 |
of traps, |
00:59:36 |
I don't know what's going on here |
00:59:39 |
but the moment someone shows up, |
00:59:47 |
Old traps disappear |
00:59:51 |
Safe spots |
00:59:55 |
Now your path is easy, |
01:00:04 |
That's the Zone. |
01:00:07 |
It may even seem capricious. |
01:00:12 |
But it is what we've made it |
01:00:19 |
It happened that people had |
01:00:25 |
Some of them even died |
01:00:30 |
But everything that's going on here |
01:00:33 |
So it lets the good ones pass |
01:00:38 |
I don't know. |
01:00:40 |
I think |
01:00:43 |
have lost all hope. |
01:00:45 |
Not good or bad, |
01:00:51 |
But even the most wretched will die |
01:01:04 |
You have been lucky, |
01:01:12 |
I guess I'll wait for you here |
01:01:16 |
until you come back, |
01:01:21 |
It's impossible! |
01:01:23 |
I've got sandwiches, a thermos... |
01:01:26 |
You won't last even an hour here |
01:01:29 |
Besides, one doesn't return here |
01:01:34 |
Anyway, I would prefer... |
01:01:36 |
Then we're going back right away. |
01:01:39 |
I'll return your money |
01:01:44 |
for the trouble, so to speak... |
01:01:46 |
Have you come to your senses, |
01:01:53 |
All right. Go on, throw your nut. |
01:02:50 |
Part Two |
01:02:55 |
STALKER |
01:03:04 |
Where are you? Come here! |
01:03:29 |
Oh, God! |
01:03:34 |
Judging by his tone, he's going to |
01:03:57 |
Let everything that's been planned |
01:04:01 |
Let them believe. |
01:04:05 |
And let them have a laugh |
01:04:08 |
Because what they call passion |
01:04:13 |
but just the friction between |
01:04:17 |
And most important, |
01:04:21 |
Let them be helpless like children, |
01:04:25 |
because weakness is a great thing, |
01:04:33 |
When a man is just born, |
01:04:37 |
when he dies, |
01:04:41 |
When a tree is growing, |
01:04:44 |
but when it's dry and hard, |
01:04:50 |
Hardness and strength |
01:04:55 |
Pliancy and weakness are |
01:05:01 |
Because what has hardened |
01:05:24 |
Come here! |
01:05:29 |
Soon we'll come to a dry tunnel, |
01:05:32 |
Knock on wood. |
01:05:34 |
- Are we on our way already? |
01:05:39 |
I thought you just wanted |
01:05:44 |
- What about my knapsack? |
01:05:47 |
I left it there. |
01:05:51 |
- There's nothing we can do about it. |
01:05:56 |
- It's impossible! |
01:05:58 |
Can't you understand that no one here |
01:06:04 |
Forget about your knapsack. |
01:06:08 |
The room will give you |
01:06:12 |
Really. It will drown you |
01:06:16 |
How far is it, this room? |
01:06:18 |
If you go straight, about 200 meters, |
01:06:23 |
Let's go. |
01:06:26 |
Give up your empiricism, Professor. |
01:06:33 |
Remember how St. Peter |
01:06:40 |
Go, Writer. |
01:06:44 |
Go where? |
01:06:46 |
Up these stairs. |
01:06:58 |
Professor, where are you? |
01:08:46 |
Here is the dry tunnel! |
01:08:49 |
You call it dry? |
01:08:52 |
This is a local joke. |
01:09:24 |
Wait, where's Professor? |
01:09:27 |
- What? |
01:09:30 |
How could it happen? |
01:09:35 |
He probably lagged behind and |
01:09:39 |
No, he didn't lose his way! |
01:09:42 |
He won't be able to make it now. |
01:09:46 |
Shall we wait for him? |
01:09:47 |
We can't. Things change here |
01:10:20 |
Look! What is it? How could it be? |
01:10:23 |
- I already explained. |
01:10:27 |
It's the Zone, don't you understand? |
01:10:52 |
There he is! |
01:11:06 |
I'm certainly grateful to you |
01:11:10 |
How did you get here? |
01:11:14 |
Mostly I had to crawl up here |
01:11:21 |
Incredible. |
01:11:25 |
What do you mean, "overtake"? |
01:11:33 |
And how has our nut gotten here? |
01:11:38 |
Oh, my God, that's... |
01:11:46 |
Porcupine put this nut here |
01:11:53 |
How could the Zone let us through? |
01:12:03 |
Oh God, I'm not going |
01:12:09 |
I don't like it. |
01:12:16 |
That's it! We rest! |
01:12:32 |
But keep off this nut, |
01:12:37 |
Sorry, but I thought that |
01:12:42 |
You see, I... |
01:12:45 |
I never know beforehand what kind |
01:12:49 |
Everything gets clear only here, |
01:12:54 |
What's important is that Professor's |
01:13:00 |
Don't stick your nose in someone's |
01:13:05 |
What is there to understand? |
01:13:12 |
Some psychological abysses! |
01:13:15 |
You have a bad reputation |
01:13:17 |
They don't give you money |
01:13:20 |
So you decide to pack a knapsack |
01:13:27 |
penetrate the Zone illegally... |
01:13:30 |
and put all these miracles |
01:13:35 |
No one in the world |
01:13:39 |
So we'll work a sure sensation! |
01:13:42 |
The television, fans raving |
01:13:48 |
Here our Professor appears, |
01:13:53 |
and declares: |
01:13:58 |
Everyone gaping |
01:14:01 |
and shouting: |
01:14:08 |
You lousy scribbler, |
01:14:14 |
You're only good for painting walls |
01:14:21 |
No good. Too sluggish. |
01:14:26 |
You don't know how to do it. |
01:14:29 |
All right. I'm going to get |
01:14:33 |
And what are you after? |
01:14:37 |
with the pearls |
01:14:42 |
I don't care a damn about mankind. |
01:14:46 |
I'm interested |
01:14:51 |
Whether I'm worth anything |
01:14:57 |
And if you find out |
01:15:01 |
You know, Mr. Einstein, |
01:15:08 |
Truth is born of argument, |
01:15:15 |
Listen, Chingachgook... |
01:15:21 |
You've brought here |
01:15:27 |
Not as many as I would like. |
01:15:30 |
That's not the point. Why did they |
01:15:36 |
Happiness, I guess. |
01:15:38 |
Yes, but what kind of happiness? |
01:15:44 |
People don't like to speak about |
01:15:48 |
And it's neither yours |
01:15:52 |
In any case, you've been lucky. |
01:15:55 |
As for me, I haven't seen |
01:15:59 |
Me neither. |
01:16:01 |
They return from the room |
01:16:05 |
and we never see each other again. |
01:16:09 |
It's not that wishes come true |
01:16:13 |
Have you ever wished |
01:16:23 |
I'm fine as I am. |
00:00:40 |
Speaking of the purchased inspiration. |
00:00:45 |
Let's imagine that I enter this room |
00:00:48 |
and return to our God-forsaken |
00:00:59 |
A man writes because he's tormented, |
00:01:05 |
He needs to constantly prove |
00:01:09 |
that he's worth something. |
00:01:14 |
And if I know for sure |
00:01:19 |
Why write then? |
00:01:23 |
What the hell for? |
00:01:28 |
Well, I must say |
00:01:31 |
that we exist for... |
00:01:34 |
Will you be so kind |
00:01:39 |
Let me get a wink, |
00:01:44 |
Keep your complexes to yourself. |
00:01:47 |
In any case, |
00:01:55 |
all those blast furnaces, wheels... |
00:02:00 |
and other bullshit |
00:02:04 |
are only designed in order |
00:02:09 |
They are all just crutches, |
00:02:14 |
And mankind exists |
00:02:20 |
works of art. |
00:02:24 |
Unlike all other human activities, |
00:02:32 |
Great illusions! |
00:02:38 |
Are you listening to me, Professor? |
00:02:43 |
What unselfishness are you talking |
00:02:46 |
People still die of hunger. |
00:02:59 |
And they are considered to be |
00:03:04 |
You're not even capable of thinking |
00:03:08 |
Are you going to teach me |
00:03:17 |
And also how to think? |
00:03:20 |
It's useless. You might be |
00:04:14 |
And there was |
00:04:20 |
And the sun became black |
00:04:24 |
And the moon became like blood... |
00:04:28 |
And the stars of the sky |
00:04:32 |
as a fig tree casts |
00:04:36 |
when shaken by a great wind. |
00:04:40 |
And the sky was split apart |
00:04:44 |
And every mountain and island |
00:04:54 |
And the kings of the earth and |
00:05:00 |
and the rich and the chiliarchs |
00:05:04 |
and the strong and every free man, |
00:05:10 |
hid themselves in the caves |
00:05:13 |
and they said to the mountains and |
00:05:18 |
and hide us from the presence of |
00:05:22 |
and from the wrath of the Lamb, |
00:05:25 |
for the great day of His wrath |
00:05:29 |
and who is able to stand?" |
00:08:27 |
And that very day two... |
00:08:30 |
two of them... |
00:08:34 |
were going to a village |
00:08:39 |
named... |
00:08:41 |
and they were conversing with each |
00:08:45 |
And while they were conversing |
00:08:48 |
He Himself approached, |
00:08:53 |
But their eyes were prevented |
00:08:58 |
And He said to them: |
00:09:03 |
you are exchanging with one another, |
00:09:07 |
And one of them, named... |
00:09:22 |
Are you awake? |
00:09:30 |
You were speaking of the meaning... |
00:09:33 |
of our... Life... |
00:09:36 |
of the unselfishness of art... |
00:09:42 |
Take music, for instance. |
00:09:50 |
Less than anything else, |
00:09:54 |
or if connected at all, it's done |
00:09:58 |
just by a sheer sound, devoid of... |
00:10:06 |
And yet, music, as if by some miracle, |
00:10:15 |
What is it that resonates in us in |
00:10:20 |
making it the source |
00:10:24 |
which stuns us and brings us |
00:10:28 |
What's all this needed for? |
00:10:35 |
You would say, |
00:10:39 |
Unselfishly. |
00:10:42 |
No. |
00:10:45 |
I don't think so. |
00:10:49 |
After all, |
00:10:53 |
Sense and reason. |
00:11:25 |
Do we have to go there? |
00:11:31 |
Unfortunately, yes. |
00:11:50 |
It looks morbid, don't you think, |
00:11:58 |
I don't feel like going there first. |
00:12:02 |
And Chingachgooks |
00:12:06 |
I think we'll have to draw lots. |
00:12:11 |
For this, I would rather have |
00:12:17 |
Have you got matches? |
00:12:26 |
Thanks. |
00:12:39 |
The long one will go. |
00:12:44 |
Pull it. |
00:12:52 |
The long one. |
00:13:10 |
Why don't you throw one of your nuts |
00:13:14 |
Sure. As you wish. |
00:13:52 |
One more? |
00:14:02 |
All right... I'll go. |
00:15:48 |
Hurry up, Professor! |
00:19:50 |
There's... There's a door here! |
00:20:13 |
Go that way! |
00:20:26 |
Me again? |
00:20:30 |
You've drawn the lot. |
00:20:40 |
What have you got there? |
00:20:44 |
You'll have yourself killed, |
00:20:47 |
Don't you remember the tanks? |
00:20:50 |
Drop it, I beg you. |
00:20:52 |
Don't you understand? |
00:20:55 |
If something happens, |
00:21:01 |
I beg you! |
00:21:20 |
Go, we haven't got much time! |
00:21:26 |
There's water here! |
00:21:29 |
Hold on to the handrail and go down. |
00:22:16 |
But don't go anywhere! |
00:22:34 |
I hope you haven't got anything |
00:22:37 |
- Like what? |
00:22:40 |
No. As a last resort |
00:22:43 |
- What ampule? |
00:22:48 |
Oh, God! Did you come here to die? |
00:22:57 |
No, it's just in case. |
00:23:26 |
Writer! Come back! |
00:23:28 |
Come back! You want to get yourself |
00:23:30 |
I told you to wait by the exit! |
00:24:19 |
That's all your pipe. |
00:24:21 |
- Why? |
00:24:26 |
He was so scared that he went |
00:26:11 |
One more experiment. |
00:26:16 |
Experiments, facts, |
00:26:23 |
There's no such thing as facts. |
00:26:28 |
All this is someone's |
00:26:33 |
Don't you feel it? |
00:26:37 |
But you, of course, must find out |
00:26:42 |
And why. |
00:26:45 |
What good can your knowledge do? |
00:26:48 |
Who is going to get guilty conscience |
00:26:53 |
I've got no conscience. |
00:26:57 |
Some bastard would criticize me, |
00:27:00 |
Another would loud me, |
00:27:04 |
I would put my heart and soul in it, |
00:27:11 |
I would relieve my soul of filth, |
00:27:15 |
They're all so literate. |
00:27:19 |
They all got sensory deficiency. |
00:27:23 |
And they're all swarming around, |
00:27:27 |
editors, critics, |
00:27:33 |
And they all demand: |
00:27:39 |
What hell of a writer am I |
00:27:46 |
If it's constant torment for me, |
00:27:51 |
sort of squeezing out a hemorrhoids. |
00:27:56 |
I used to think that someone would |
00:28:00 |
No, nobody needs me! |
00:28:03 |
In two days after I die they'll start |
00:28:10 |
I wanted to change them, |
00:28:14 |
Making me in their own image. |
00:28:22 |
The future used to be just |
00:28:27 |
with all the changes looming far |
00:28:31 |
Now the future and the present |
00:28:41 |
Are they ready for it? |
00:28:44 |
They don't want to know anything! |
00:29:02 |
Gosh, how lucky you are! |
00:29:05 |
My goodness, now... |
00:29:23 |
Yes. But why not forever? |
00:29:30 |
Like the eternal Jew. |
00:30:10 |
You are probably a fine man. |
00:30:14 |
I almost didn't doubt it. |
00:30:17 |
I can imagine what torture it was |
00:30:22 |
This pipe is a horrible place! |
00:30:25 |
It's called "the meat mincer", |
00:30:28 |
So many people perished there! |
00:30:35 |
Porcupine sent his brother |
00:30:41 |
The boy was so delicate, |
00:30:46 |
Here, listen to this. |
00:30:49 |
So summer is gone, |
00:30:54 |
It's still warm in the sun, |
00:30:59 |
All that true could have come, |
00:31:02 |
Like a five-fingered fluff, |
00:31:07 |
Only that's not enough. |
00:31:10 |
No evil was slighted |
00:31:15 |
World was festively lighted, |
00:31:20 |
Life forever was tucking, |
00:31:26 |
I was really lucky, |
00:31:31 |
No leaves ever seared, |
00:31:36 |
Day, like glass, washed all clear, |
00:31:43 |
Good, aren't they? |
00:31:46 |
Why do you fidget? |
00:31:50 |
- I'm just... |
00:31:52 |
I'm so happy! It's not often that |
00:31:57 |
You did everything right. |
00:32:01 |
I'm proud that I was right about you. |
00:32:02 |
Look at him! He's happy |
00:32:06 |
Fate! Zone! |
00:32:11 |
You think I didn't see how you |
00:32:14 |
- No, you don't understand... |
00:32:16 |
I'm sorry, Professor, |
00:32:20 |
but this jerk has chosen you |
00:32:22 |
Come on, it's unfair! |
00:32:24 |
And me, a second-rate creature, |
00:32:28 |
Meat mincer! To think of such |
00:32:32 |
What right have you got to decide |
00:32:34 |
who is to live and |
00:32:37 |
You've chosen it yourself! |
00:32:39 |
What? One long match out of the two |
00:32:43 |
The matches are nothing. |
00:32:45 |
The Zone had let you through |
00:32:48 |
so it became clear that only you |
00:32:53 |
And we just followed you. |
00:32:54 |
Well, it's too much... |
00:32:56 |
You can't even imagine how dangerous |
00:33:02 |
But someone had to be first! |
00:33:04 |
Yes? No, it's not a clinic! |
00:33:09 |
You see, someone has to go first! |
00:33:20 |
Don't touch it! |
00:33:42 |
Laboratory nine, please. |
00:33:45 |
Just a minute. |
00:33:53 |
- Hello? |
00:33:56 |
- What do you want? |
00:34:00 |
You've hidden it. I've found it. |
00:34:03 |
The old building. Bunker four. |
00:34:08 |
I'm alerting the security |
00:34:11 |
You may do it. |
00:34:16 |
you may set my colleagues against me, |
00:34:20 |
I'm now at a stone's throw |
00:34:26 |
Do you realize that's the end of you |
00:34:29 |
Well, you may rejoice! |
00:34:30 |
Do you realize what will happen |
00:34:36 |
Trying to scare me again? |
00:34:39 |
All my life I've been afraid of |
00:34:45 |
But now I'm not afraid of anything, |
00:34:49 |
Oh God, you are not even |
00:34:52 |
It's just that you've always wanted |
00:34:55 |
because twenty years ago |
00:34:59 |
And now you're delighted |
00:35:03 |
Well, go and do your... |
00:35:08 |
Don't you dare hang up on me! |
00:35:11 |
Prison is not the worst thing |
00:35:15 |
The worst is that you'll never be |
00:35:18 |
I already see you hanging from your |
00:35:25 |
What are you up to, Professor? |
00:35:30 |
Do you realize what will happen |
00:35:36 |
And all come rushing here? |
00:35:40 |
It's only a question of time. |
00:35:44 |
If not today, then tomorrow! |
00:35:47 |
Unfulfilled emperors, |
00:35:52 |
self-appointed benefactors |
00:35:56 |
And they'll come not for money or |
00:36:01 |
I never take here people like that. |
00:36:03 |
What on earth can you understand? |
00:36:06 |
You're not the only stalker |
00:36:09 |
No stalker can know |
00:36:11 |
what those you lead bring with them |
00:36:15 |
And the number of unmotivated |
00:36:18 |
Isn't that your doing? |
00:36:20 |
Take coups d'etat by the military, |
00:36:25 |
aren't they all your clients? |
00:36:27 |
Or lasers and all those |
00:36:31 |
all that filth, kept for the time being |
00:36:36 |
Will you please stop this |
00:36:39 |
Can you really believe |
00:36:41 |
Not in the good ones, no! |
00:36:46 |
Come on! |
00:36:48 |
A human being is not capable |
00:36:53 |
that would extend over |
00:36:57 |
Well, money, a woman, |
00:37:01 |
Let my boss be overrun by a car, |
00:37:05 |
But ruling over the world! |
00:37:08 |
God's kingdom on earth! |
00:37:10 |
These are not just wishes, |
00:37:17 |
Unconscious compassion |
00:37:22 |
As a regular |
00:37:25 |
There cannot be happiness |
00:37:30 |
I can see quite clearly now |
00:37:32 |
that you plan to overwhelm |
00:37:38 |
As for me, I'm not a bit worried |
00:37:42 |
and least of all about mankind. |
00:37:45 |
Because you're not going |
00:37:49 |
At best you'll get your Nobel Prize. |
00:37:54 |
Or rather you'll get something |
00:37:59 |
something you don't even think about. |
00:38:05 |
You dream of one thing, |
00:38:11 |
Why did you do that? |
00:38:26 |
Telephone... electricity... |
00:38:34 |
Look, very good sleeping pills. |
00:38:37 |
They don't make ones like that any |
00:38:45 |
Maybe we'd better be going? |
00:38:48 |
It will be dark soon, |
00:38:59 |
By the way, it's absolutely clear |
00:39:03 |
that all this poem reciting |
00:39:07 |
is just a form of apologizing. |
00:39:10 |
I can understand you. |
00:39:17 |
But don't have any illusions, |
00:39:24 |
Will you please stop it, |
00:40:17 |
Professor, come here, please. |
00:40:52 |
Wait a minute. |
00:40:56 |
I'm in no hurry whatsoever. |
00:41:46 |
I know, you're going to get mad. |
00:41:51 |
Anyway, I must tell you... |
00:42:00 |
We are now... |
00:42:12 |
This is the most important moment |
00:42:20 |
You must know that... |
00:42:23 |
Your innermost wishes |
00:42:30 |
Your most sincere wish! |
00:43:03 |
No need to say anything. |
00:43:09 |
You just have to... |
00:43:12 |
concentrate |
00:43:20 |
When a man thinks of the past, |
00:43:26 |
And most important... |
00:44:00 |
Most important... |
00:44:06 |
You have to believe! |
00:44:17 |
Now you can go. |
00:44:24 |
Who wants to be the first? |
00:44:31 |
Maybe, you? |
00:44:34 |
Me? No, I don't want to. |
00:44:38 |
I understand, it's not easy, |
00:44:44 |
I doubt... |
00:44:47 |
that it will pass. |
00:44:50 |
If I begin recalling my life, |
00:44:55 |
it's very unlikely I'll get any kinder. |
00:44:59 |
Besides, don't you feel |
00:45:20 |
Humiliating yourself, |
00:45:26 |
What's so bad in praying? |
00:45:31 |
It's just your pride speaking. |
00:45:34 |
Calm down, you're not ready yet. |
00:45:42 |
Maybe, you first? |
00:45:51 |
Yes, me. |
00:46:03 |
We see before us |
00:46:09 |
An appliance exploring human souls! |
00:46:13 |
It's only a bomb. |
00:46:16 |
What? |
00:46:19 |
You must be kidding. |
00:46:21 |
No, it's just a bomb. |
00:46:27 |
What for? |
00:46:39 |
We had it assembled with my friends. |
00:46:44 |
With my former colleagues. |
00:46:52 |
This place will never bring any |
00:47:00 |
But if this thing gets into the wrong |
00:47:07 |
Though, I'm not sure any more. |
00:47:11 |
We came to the conclusion then... |
00:47:15 |
that we shouldn't destroy the Zone |
00:47:19 |
Even if it's some miracle, |
00:47:25 |
and therefore, a hope in a sense. |
00:47:30 |
They had hidden that bomb, |
00:47:34 |
The old building, bunker four. |
00:47:42 |
I guess there must be a principle... |
00:47:47 |
Never do anything |
00:47:50 |
I understand everything, I'm not some |
00:47:56 |
But as long as this plague lies |
00:48:04 |
I can get no peace, no sleep. |
00:48:13 |
Or maybe, my innermost |
00:48:22 |
Poor man, some problem |
00:48:48 |
Give it to me! |
00:49:03 |
Give it to me! |
00:49:10 |
You're a civilized man, aren't you? |
00:49:19 |
- Why? What's the matter with you? |
00:49:24 |
Why? |
00:49:29 |
He wants to destroy your hope! |
00:49:55 |
That's all people have got left |
00:49:59 |
It's the only place |
00:50:04 |
if there's no hope left for them. |
00:50:09 |
You yourself have come here! |
00:50:11 |
Why destroy hope then? |
00:50:14 |
Shut up! |
00:50:19 |
I can see through you! |
00:50:22 |
You don't give a damn about people! |
00:50:25 |
You just make money, |
00:50:31 |
It's not even the money. |
00:50:32 |
You're enjoying yourself here. |
00:50:36 |
You, a hypocritical louse, decide |
00:50:41 |
He deliberates! |
00:50:44 |
Now I see why you stalkers |
00:50:48 |
You revel in all that power, |
00:50:54 |
What else is there to wish for? |
00:50:56 |
It's not true! |
00:51:04 |
A stalker must not enter the room. |
00:51:06 |
A stalker must not even enter |
00:51:11 |
Remember Porcupine? |
00:51:16 |
Yes, you're right, I'm a louse. |
00:51:18 |
I haven't done any good in this world, |
00:51:23 |
I couldn't give anything |
00:51:26 |
I can't have any friends either. |
00:51:31 |
They'd already taken everything from |
00:51:39 |
So all that's mine is here. |
00:51:45 |
My happiness, my freedom, |
00:51:52 |
I bring here people like me, |
00:51:55 |
People who have nothing else |
00:52:00 |
And I can help them! |
00:52:03 |
No one else can help them, |
00:52:09 |
I'm so happy to be able to help them |
00:52:12 |
And that's all. |
00:52:36 |
I don't know. Maybe. |
00:52:39 |
Anyway, excuse me, but... |
00:52:43 |
You're just a God's fool. |
00:52:47 |
You have no idea |
00:52:53 |
Why do you think Porcupine |
00:52:57 |
He came to the Zone |
00:53:00 |
He made his brother die |
00:53:03 |
I know. |
00:53:07 |
Why didn't he come here again, |
00:53:11 |
In way of repenting. |
00:53:14 |
He wanted to... I don't know. |
00:53:18 |
Because he realized that |
00:53:22 |
but only your innermost wish. |
00:53:32 |
Not what would you holler |
00:53:42 |
Coming true here is |
00:53:46 |
with your essence, |
00:53:49 |
But it's there, in you, |
00:53:53 |
You didn't understand anything, |
00:53:56 |
It wasn't greed that had done |
00:53:58 |
He was crawling in this puddle, |
00:54:02 |
But what he got was only money, |
00:54:07 |
because render unto Porcupine |
00:54:11 |
And things like conscience, anguish, |
00:54:16 |
He realized that and hanged himself. |
00:54:22 |
I'm not going to your room. |
00:54:26 |
I have no wish to pour my filth |
00:54:31 |
Even yours. |
00:54:33 |
And then to put my neck into |
00:54:37 |
I'd rather drink myself to death |
00:54:44 |
You don't understand anything |
00:54:50 |
if you take to the Zone |
00:55:00 |
And something else... |
00:55:03 |
Why do you think that this miracle |
00:55:08 |
Who told you that wishes |
00:55:15 |
Have you seen a single man |
00:55:21 |
Was it Porcupine? |
00:55:27 |
As a matter of fact, |
00:55:32 |
about Porcupine, about that room? |
00:55:37 |
He did. |
00:56:40 |
Then it makes no sense to me at all. |
00:56:44 |
What's the use coming here? |
00:58:06 |
It's so quiet... |
00:58:09 |
Can you feel it? |
00:58:16 |
What the heck... Why not chuck it all, |
00:58:21 |
take my wife, Monkey, |
00:58:29 |
For good. |
00:58:32 |
There's no one here. |
01:02:41 |
So you're back. |
01:02:49 |
Where did you get this? |
01:02:52 |
He got attached to me. |
01:03:13 |
Well, shall we go? |
01:03:22 |
Are you coming? |
01:03:37 |
Does any one of you need a dog? |
01:03:42 |
I've got five of them at home. |
01:03:54 |
So you love dogs, don't you? |
01:03:57 |
What? |
01:03:59 |
That's very good. |
01:04:06 |
All right, let's go. |
01:07:03 |
You can't even imagine |
01:07:07 |
God only knows! |
01:07:11 |
Calling themselves intellectuals, |
01:07:15 |
Don't get so excited. |
01:07:17 |
They don't believe in anything! |
01:07:20 |
They've got the organ with which one |
01:07:28 |
Stop it. Come on. |
01:07:32 |
It's too damp here for you... |
01:07:40 |
Take it off. |
01:08:50 |
Oh God, what people... |
01:08:52 |
Calm down, it's not their fault. |
01:08:56 |
You ought to pity them, |
01:08:59 |
Haven't you seen them? They've |
01:09:13 |
The only thing |
01:09:17 |
is how to sell themselves |
01:09:20 |
How to get as much as possible |
01:09:25 |
They know they were "born for |
01:09:32 |
After all, they live "only once"! |
01:09:36 |
Can people like that |
01:09:40 |
Stop it, calm down. |
01:09:44 |
Try to sleep, will you? |
01:09:52 |
And nobody believes. |
01:09:58 |
Who am I going to take there? |
01:10:04 |
Oh, God... |
01:10:06 |
And what's most awful... |
01:10:10 |
is that no one needs it. |
01:10:12 |
No one needs that room. |
01:10:17 |
Why do you say that? |
01:10:26 |
I'm not going there with anybody |
01:10:31 |
Do you want me to go with you? |
01:10:36 |
Where? |
01:10:38 |
You think I've got nothing |
01:10:45 |
No... |
01:10:50 |
You can't go there. |
01:10:52 |
Why not? |
01:10:56 |
No, no. |
01:11:02 |
What if it wouldn't work |
01:11:40 |
You know, my mother was against it. |
01:11:45 |
You've probably noticed already |
01:11:52 |
All our neighborhood laughed at him. |
01:11:55 |
He was such a bungler, |
01:12:00 |
My mother used to say: |
01:12:03 |
he's doomed, |
01:12:06 |
Don't you know what kind of |
01:12:09 |
And I... I didn't even argue with her. |
01:12:15 |
I knew it all myself, |
01:12:19 |
that he was an eternal prisoner, |
01:12:26 |
Only what could I do? |
01:12:28 |
I was sure |
01:12:33 |
Of course, I knew I'd have a lot of |
01:12:37 |
But it's better to have |
01:12:43 |
a gray, dull life. |
01:12:50 |
Perhaps, |
01:13:03 |
But then he approached me and said: |
01:13:07 |
And I did, |
01:13:15 |
Never. |
01:13:19 |
We had a lot of sorrow, |
01:13:22 |
a lot of fear, and a lot of shame. |
01:13:24 |
But I never regretted it, |
01:13:30 |
It's just our fate, our life, |
01:13:41 |
And if we haven't had our misfortunes, |
01:13:46 |
It would have been worse. |
01:13:50 |
Because in that case, there wouldn't |
01:13:57 |
And there wouldn't have been |
01:14:48 |
I love your eyes, my darling friend, |
01:14:52 |
Their play, so passionate and |
01:14:57 |
When a sudden stare up you send, |
01:15:00 |
And like a heaven-blown lightning, |
01:15:03 |
It'd take in all from end to end. |
01:15:07 |
But there's more that I admire: |
01:15:11 |
Your eyes when they're downcast |
01:15:14 |
In bursts of love-inspired fire, |
01:15:18 |
And through the eyelash goes fast |
01:15:22 |
A somber, dull call of desire... |
01:18:09 |
The End |
