Moon Rainbow (1983) - full transcript

MOSFILM

All the participants of "Black mark"
campaign, please get together --

at Designer's Hall of The Operational
Investigations Department

- "I repeat..."
- It's for me, excuse me.

Tell me - is "Black mark"
so dangerous?

I... don't know, Martin.

I'm afraid that...
Thanks for the coffee...

Yesterday you overwhelmed us
with the info on "black marks" --

and today you force world health
organizations to participate in this.

Isn't it too early for this?

I'm afraid that
it could be too late.



Get familiar:

Our colleague in Space
Security Service - Oleg Nikolsky.

And this is my operational group.

Nice group.

Professor Leonard Rogov.

Science consultant of
World Health Orgnization.

Please this way,
Professor.

Let's start.

Cooper, acquaint Professor
with the facts.

The story with "black marks"
started with the tragic accident
with our alpinists on Pamir.

Strong snow storm has started
on those mountains.

And the equipment of the
meteo station "EAGLE'S PEAK"
didn't response on that.

At that time there on the
meteo station was former
space commando Timur Kizimov.

Responding to the emergency
two of our inspectors were
dispatched to Pamir quickly.



You needed something
extraordinary to happen to wake
your Service up of lethargy.

Professor.

Please, go on.

Scared station's caretaker
reported some bullshit --

that former space commando
Timur Kizimov actually
is not Kizimov --

but a spy from a foreign
planet's civilization hidden
under a face of Kizimov.

Our inspector, of course,
didn't believe him.

Than the caretaker
showed him --

a "black mark" left on a
display of one of devices.

Exotic marks of course have
interested us, but the point is --

if one can influence on
electronic nerves of
devices in such a manner --

so what kind are his
energetic parameters.

Yeah... circumstances are
quite disturbing --

Yes.

or even terrifying.

That's why we offered
Timur Kizimov to visit us.

Please, be kind to...

Cooper, start
the video please.

Now tell us, Kizimov, --

why do you avoid to
talk to members of
Space Security Service?

You know, I actually hate to talk
with people who are not close
friends or acquaintances of mine.

Excuse me, but who are
your friends or acquaintances?

Well, that's my
private business.

You understand that uncommon
qualities of your organism --

acquired obviously in
places out of our planet --

have interested us.

You want to say, that
I'm a danger to society?

You must understand that we also
can't exclude such a possibility.

And how would you answer
this question by yourself?

Negative.

I am danger to
our community --

not more than any
typical earthling.

So you realize
your unusualness?

I realize of course.

Also my unusualness is a mystery
for me as it is for you.

Yes, believe me.

And maybe it's disease?

Why you get familiarized with
my documents so careless?

There's special bulletin,
medical reports.

Oh, yeah,
I remember this.

Healthy,
completely healthy.

"Unlimited permission" to planet
Earth is given out to you.

- "Well, not the disease..."
- Stop the video!

The situation seemed
to us very disturbing,

we worked hard on this and
found another "black mark".

But not Kizimov's one.

This mark was left
by Jean Lourais.

He is former
space commando too.

Let's continue.

The screen, please.

Tell us, have you ever
talked on this topic --

with other owners of
similar organism qualities?

Lourais, for example?

Lourais?

You're surprised
with my question?

Why Lourais?

I understand.

No, never talked.

So you and Lourais didn't
know about your ability
to leave "black marks"?

I can answer
only for myself.

I didn't notice it
about Lourais.

And during your dialogs
with him you never
discussed this problem?

It's not that topic which
could give me a pleasure.

Your hate of this topic
is related to your
work outside Earth?

I am not working
outside Earth.

I'm retired.

You want to say that
you mistook my question?

I just want to say that
I don't want to answer --

to questions related to my
last work outside Earth.

But this is the main thing
which we are interested in,
the main thing, Kizimov!

In this case let's consider that
I couldn't satisfy your curiosity.

Strange, very
strange caprice.

No, it's more like
forced self-defense.

How do you want us
to understand this?

You understood
me correctly.

Good...
Tell us, Kizimov, --

In what way you've
managed to influence --

on electronic brains of
measuring system of
meteo station "EAGLE'S PEAK"?

This was unintentional.

This means that you have
the ability to influence
on electronic devices?

And "black marks" too?

And all this is related somehow
to your past work outside Earth?
Is it so?

Do you want
a good advice?

Leave us alone.

Me and Lourais.

This mark doesn't lead anywhere.
I just want to say that
there's no criminal in it.

Don't dig our souls.

At least, because it is not
only useless, but is also cruel.

Nice finishing, Frank!

Congratulations.

Thank you, Veber!

At first, good-aimed shooting,
then looking at who it was.

From all of you, you're
the only one who was in
my operational room --

and during work of
the testing area.

Jimmy.

- My assistant.
- Very glad.

It's easy to
work with you.

Why?

You usually pass through
the testing area very densely.

What "densely" means?

This term doesn't fit nicely, but in
general, saying "testing area", --

we can consider it as a complex
system of ways of training
influence on realigent's mentality.

Yeah?

I act quite monotonous,
and this suites you well.

Let's say it in different way, you
pass the testing area efficiently.

Jimmy, how it happened that
Egul goes by a higher way?

I've placed a tracking
monitor wrongly.

Monitor, of course...
You can go, Jimmy.

Tell me, Frank, why you were sent
to the special quarantine zone?

Why are you so
interested in this zone?

I've never been yet in
the special quarantine zone, --

well I've heard
about it of course

Cork Island, Enoris -
zone of absolute alienation.

But nobody tells about it,
all the info is gone by.

Like we are not working
in the same company.

Some time later I will
come and state all my
expressions to our chief.

I'd not recommend this.

What?

Just not recommend this.

What you don't know,
will not hurt you.

And has it hurted you?

You understand, Martin,

our enterprising civilization
has broken away to
the space of the Solar System...

It's unclear to me, how
it all will end up on us.

Blue people, isolation cells,
glass walls.

This all is just the
visual side of things.

The essence of this is
much more complicated and
simpler at the same time.

I understand, we've explored
only a small part of extraterrestrial
space, only up to a Jupiter orbit,

and so many
troubles already...

You consider it's explored?

Well, at least, the process of
exploring is progressing.

Oh, process?

But what?

According to the info from
the Statistics Department of
our Administration Office --

there are 602,000 people working
on the extraterrestrial orbits,

excluding our space forces.

You know, I'd feel shy to
call it a light exploring.

Yeah...

We can't call it
a light one,

if keeping in mind what
we were talking about --

and what we were
not talking about.

Listen, conditions of
the special quarantine zone
are changing fast.

2 years ago have you heard
anything about zones of
absolute alienation?

Our old poster slogan
"Caution does not cause damages"
we've converted to --

super slogan "Caution
multiplied by a caution"

This became a principle
of our attitude to
extraterrestrial space.

You did it all right.

Yes, right.

But this is an obvious
sign of weakness.

It is defense.

We are starting
a defense, Martin.

Today - glass walls, super isolation
cells, and what tomorrow?

That's it.

And you are trying
to model space unexpectedness
on the testing area.

"All the participants of "Black mark"
campaign: please get together --

at Designer's Hall of The Operational
Investigations Department.

"I repeat..."

It's for me,
excuse me.

Tell me - is "Black mark"
so dangerous?

I don't know, Martin.

I'm afraid that...

Thanks for the coffee.

Yesterday, after we've
received your request --

we have cleared out
something too.

The third person appeared.
Edward Yonghe.

Cooper, please show
the photo on the screen.

This former space commando
has refused flatly to talk
with our Space Security Service.

Hust, tell us how your talk
with Yonghe has ended up?

Hust, I am asking you.

After I have mentioned
"black marks" --

Yonghe silently has pushed
me down the stairs.

And why not vice versa?

I'm afraid, Hust, that if
you continue your work
in such a way --

your career will be consisted
mainly of those "down stairs".

Sit down, Hust.

And now I have
a surprise for you.

Guess what is it?

- Well, this is usual wood.
- You're right, the usual wood.

Biological expertise verified:
usual tree, nutwood.

Without any changes
in microstructure.

But this nutwood for some
reason works as a TV set.

- What?
- Yes, and it works selectively.
Receives only kid programs.

And who is the inventor
of this device?

Inventor.

The inventor is a former
space commando, he's now
a respectable retired man.

His service record is not
very different from ones
of Kizimov, Lourais and Yonghe.

David Norton,
the fourth person.

Interesting that David Norton
is a close relative of
one of my employees.

Right, Poling?

You're completely
right.

So it is true, that David Norton
is married to Silvia Norton?

Your own sister,
born Poling.

Yes.

Good afternoon, kids.

You know me?

Of course you know.

Today I will narrate you
a very interesting fairy tale.

So listen to me
very very intently.

So, we have four of them.

Norton, Kizimov,
Yonghe, Lourais.

Who are they?
They are fellow-sufferers?

People mutilated
by space?

Are they safe for our planet?
Or potentially dangerous?

Here we've faced such
a phenomenon as mutation
of natural qualities of human.

If keeping in mind, that
this phenomenon has happened
to four people at one time--

then this could happen
only during the expedition
in "Moon Rainbow".

Yes, the expedition in "Moon
Rainbow" to the Uranus system.

At that time those four
were included in a rank
of 13 commandos --

which landed on Oberon.

There was a catastrophe,
a huge area of surface --

collapsed and fallen deep
into planetoid and a strange
greeny luminescence occurred --

the nature of which
is not yet clarified.

So, the catastrophe had
happened, in result of which --

4 survivors then acquired
phenomenal qualities.

Bravo, Nikolsky!

This could be accepted
as a working hypothesis.

Young people, now you're
doing things which
you should do much earlier!

- But...
- I'm not saying that
your Security Service --

should be interested in this
strange four, right after a
catastrophe has happened.

But after a report of commission
of Yuhanssen, which specialized
on investigation of causes ...

Excuse me,
I don't understand.

I remember those Yuhanssen's
commission reports very well.

There's no any factual confirmation of
a link between the catastrophe results
and "black marks" on Earth.

This is not about
commission reports.

The point is that one of
the commission members was
a survivor in that catastrophe.

Who was?

David Norton.

- That's interesting.
- Yes, as we say "set a wolf
to keep the sheep".

- So you mean, you own the info ...
- ..in the face of which, "black marks"
dim and singing woods mute.

We have not enough
time, let's continue.

So, after "Moon Rainbow" return
from the 2nd expedition --

which was investigating causes
of catastrophe on Oberon.

My former student,
medicologist, Albertas Grizhas --

told me about many
interesting things,

things which were
not presented in
Yuhanssen's reports.

Correction by the map
plane is done. Tangage is
fixed. Course is in norm.

Reserve one is in
norm, captain.

Reel phase of damper
is in norm.

Pivotal one is in the
cruising speed mode,
in norm.

Cruising speed mode
is in the range of
acceptable trajectories.

All parameters are OK,
Captain.

On-board time is 23:00.

Night watch, your duty now,
for cruising speed mode.

And the rest of the crew -
you can relax.

After that, during next 3 weeks,
Albertas Grizhas and Felix Buck have
unsuccessfully tried to clarify something.

And then, some time later ...

Yes, there's anything
possible in the road,

they may damage 1-2 displays,
but it is unintentional.

They don't conceal it.

- And now 5 of displays are damaged.
- Yeah...

- ... mysterious.
- Don't need this, take away.

Have you reported
this to captains?

Nobody except you.

Maybe, we should report?

Grizhas!

What's up, Felix?

No, it's impossible.

What's impossible?

That man.

Which man?

I've recognized him.

Whom?

I don't know.

Listen, don't you bother to assure
me of things which not exist?

Yuri Michailovich, I think that
we can't understand each other.

Yes, it's pity,
Albertas Kazievich.

Just imagine for a second
that a stranger is real.

What could happen if during
braking, he'll not be able
to use overload protection?

But if that stranger exists, he
succeeded in use of it
during acceleration.

There he's succeeded,
but now he will not,
will not be able.

Calm down, Albertas Kazievich,
here's no any strangers
on this board.

Are you sure for 100%?

I hate the word "sure".

I prefer the word "assured".

And advice it for you to use.

And for the next time, I forbid
you to tell those stories about
the stranger to the crew.

I hope you understood me.

Yes.

Please give me the
summary of positioning
with detailed list by sectors.

Aye!

Look at this.

How much of the crew
should be on the board?

68.

What is the actual
amount of people?

68.

I hope, now it's
all clear for you?

And about the stranger,
I advise you to read
less the sci-fi.

The extraterrestrial
folklore is rich and diverse.
Wish you all the best.

Thank you, cap.

I'm sorry.

So make the conclusion
for yourself.

By the way, there's a
book by Albertas Grizhas,
"Myths and Ghosts of Extraterrestrial".

Very recommended.

Thank you, Professor, you've
made an invaluable service to us.

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

Cooper, now quickly
seek for Felix Buck.

Felix Buck's now working
on one of Moon labs.

Video conference.

Hello, Felix, sorry
for bothering you.

Let's talk without any further
ceremonies, I have not enough time.

We are not at walk too.
Chief, all is ready.

- Hello, Buck!
- Good afternoon, Gelbright.

- You know me by sight?
- Everybody knows you.

- You and Nikolsky.
He's sitting next to you.
- We are really flattered.

We're interested in details
about the 2nd expedition
to the Uranus System.

To be more precise, about one of
your extraordinary meetings
on the "Moon rainbow" board.

OK.

OK.

You've started investigation
on that stranger's case?

Yes. What do you
think about it?

Me?

8 years have passed,
until now I ...

So much time
has gone ....

Yeah...

Later, I was... I mean
I couldn't see him of course,

because he actually
did not exist.

Who did not exist?

Well, let's do it
another way.

Whom this stranger
looked like?

Mstislav Bakulin.

Cooper, show photos
of victims on Oberon.

Aye!

Which one?

2nd to the left.

Yeah, this is Mstislav Bakulin.

Buck, are you completely sure
that this is the stranger's photo?

I just said that
he looked like Bakulin.

Why do you use the word
"looked like" all the time?

Because he looked like.

Well, so you're not completely
sure that it was Bakulin.

Buck, why you make us to
force you to talk?

You already had some
doubts at that time
that it was not Bakulin.

- It just only seemed to me.
- What seemed?

I know I can't explain
it to you and prove it.

But just answer our questions -
"What seemed to you?"

That it was Norton.

Thank you, Buck,
you've helped us much.

Good bye.

It now appears as not
a myth, but an anecdote.

While Yuhanssen and members
of his commission are sleeping
peacefully in their cabins, --

David Norton, with a face
of Bakulin died on Oberon,
walks down the corridors.

David Norton and Bakulin...

Why these two names
are always together.

What do you think
about it, Poling?

Mstislav Bakulin was a
closest friend of Norton.

Closest friend of Norton...

Yes, Norton, Norton...

After the expedition on "Moon
Rainbow", as I remember, he spent
half a year on Mercury.

Maybe, we should make
a request from Mercury for Garanin?

That's a good idea!

Cooper, please, video conference
with the chief of Mercurian
commandos, Garanin.

Aye!

- Hello, Garanin!
- Hello, Gelbright!

Hello Nikolsky.

I never thought that
I could be interesting for
the Space Security Service.

We're interested in info
on David Norton, I suppose
you know him?

Tell us, when he was your
employee, did you notice any
extraordinary things by him?

Extraordinary?

Nothing extraordinary.

Except that he passed
through the Plateau of Firesnakes.

Nobody could do
it before him.

And we've got an access
to mines, without which our
industries could fail.

You know it very well, how
much of our guys died there.

Dave Norton was sent
on a mission to us after
a flight on "Moon Rainbow".

I remember that day clearly,
when he arrived to us on
the "Russia" spaceliner.

Liner "Russia" to the terminal, accessed
the zone of automatic capture.

- Do you see us?
- Yes, we see clearly you, "Russia".

- Congratulations with arriving!
- Thank you!

Decrease the pivot of
convergence down to 30 units.

Roger that! We're doing
the strong brake in 40 secs.

The side engine is
turned down, we're entering
zone of automatic capture.

Do you hear us?

Don't bother,
we'll attach you softly.

Get your passengers ready
to be transferred on lifts.

Commander of the 1st avant-fort,
open the vacuum module.

Take the load from 5 to 8th levels.

Crew of the lifter "ML24", be
prepared to receive the
passengers, arrived on the liner.

Roger that!

"Mercury", I am the lifter "ML24",
getting on board, please give me
the support signals, and the distance.

"Lifter", I am "Mercury".
The distance is 98.
Turn by Azimuth is 55.

There's docking shaft 1
for you. Please answer?

Roger that!

98. 55. Docking shaft 1.
Thank you.

Space commandos group
flying to Assaulting Camp of Jober Squad,

please come to the platform
of the first terminal,

and get ready
for departure.

The first terminal of our cosmoport
receiving the passengers from the "Russia"
liner, which arrived by the lifter "ML24".

For those who are meeting the
passengers - place of meeting
is the Lounge 5 of cosmoport.

I repeat: "Lounge 5".

- Glad to see you, Ivan!
- Oh, here you are at last!

I thought already
we would not meet.

So what do you know
about the Plateau?

Nothing.

The Plateau has killed
recently 4 commandos and 3 miners.

The richest mine
is in danger now.

Listen, Dave, I will sent you
to the Plateau with one term ...

Are you going
to frighten me?

Not at all, just
the area is very tough.

Almost all the area is mined
by the ground charges.

There's some zones which
are impassable at all.

But a prospecting is necessary.

You know, veterans are
retiring, but whom the
Earth sends to us instead?

Unskilled youngs, who itch
to get to the place with
no knowledge of this.

How many things you can do
with them in this situation, to keep
them alive till next flying to vacations.

That's what I like in you.

Well, from our graduation,
only you and me are
working right now.

Kizimov and Yonghe
are already retired.

I know, I met them in the
Moon Capital while going to here.

I am about to retire
soon too, Ivan.

So and you too...

Well, go, you can now
relax some.

When you'll come back
from The Plateau, we meet
again and talk.

- May I sit here with you?
- Yes, please.

You don't know how to eat.

You eat passionless.

You're talking to me?

Let's introduce ourselves.
Lyudmila Bystrova.

David Norton.

- May I ask you?
- Yes, please.

How does your wife
treat your occupation
of space commando?

With no delight.

If I had a power,
I'd forbid for space
commandos to get married.

Don't look at me like that.

You, extraterrestrial workers,
might have the psychic
extremely changed.

At start you consider
yourselves heroes and braves,

then you begin to
treat the words "hero",
"bravery" with bias.

These concepts start to
disappear for you.

Tell me, Norton, how much
lives every planet you were
on, have been paid.

You don't like
thinking about your
lost colleagues.

Is it so?

There's no guarantee
that also you, not
today but tomorrow ...

You see, I'm superstitious...

You commandos make
us superstitious.

There is one. Came to me and
asked to be my friend for eternity.

And what is his eternity?
Will he be alive today?

So you rejected him?

Yes, completely.

I can't... I can't see
the commandos uniform.

You're extra superstitious.
What could happen to that guy,
whom you've completely ...

Anything ...
Anything could happen.

When a man wearing your
damn uniform flies to
The Plateau of Firesnakes --

anything could happen to him.

It is Mercury, Norton.

Well I gotta go.

There was a time when I wanted
to look at your eyes, Moon Dave.

Wait, how do you
know my nickname?

No, I want to know why?

To look at your eyes?

Yes.

Maybe because you're married.

Kizimov, Yonghe, Lourais.
They were single.

It was all clear with them.

They had nobody and nothing.

Except normal job.

How do you know
Kizimov, Yonghe, Lourais?

Excuse me, forgot your name.
Lyudmila Bystrova?

Bakulina. Married name.

Yes, Norton, I had a
husband, Mstislav Bakulin.

There, together
with you on Oberon.

Though why with you?
You're here. And he is there.

I understand, there
was nothing to do.

But still you're here.

Mstislav!

Norton, we've reported about
your start to Jober's
group at The Plateau.

The power of proton's burst
is up to 19 points today.

Therefore, your
path is in shadow.

Roger that!

You have a terminator
in 200km to the right.

Positioning monitors will
follow you for 1000 km.

Then you will independently
pass along the Plateau,

and then while flying over the crater,
you will see the luminescence of
firesnakes straight ahead the course

Roger that!

Be careful over the Plateau,
land only on the area
of Assaulting Camp.

It is the only safe
area in there.

We've just enveloped an elevation,
taken as a reference point by us.

Play us the video overlayed on
the map for the route support.

Roger that!

Be extremely careful.

Our instruments can't
afford to register all the flashes
of the ground electricity.

It is dangerous to go ahead.
It's better to come back.

It is now unclear
what's more dangerous -
going ahead or returning back.

Guys, what happened?
Answer! Please come
back immediately.

David Norton, an expert
of the headquarter.

Commander Jober
and my assistant.

They didn't informed
you about me?

We had no communication
with the headquarters.
200 km of electric fields.

What's the communication
in this situation?

Please, this way.

Norton!
Norton!

Norton!

Norton, immediately come back
or I'll send the boat for you.

Norton!

Norton, I request for
the boat to send to you.

No need, calm down, just
maintain communication with me.

I can't maintain communication
with the other world.

I need my experts alive.

Don't divert my
attention, Jober.

So keep in mind, I decline my
responsibility for your safety.

OK, I'll keep in mind.

Damn it!

Norton, return
immediately!

Jober, to move safely on this Plateau,
try to keep to the plateau's bottoms.

Never approach the bumps!

Only the bumps are fully
charged with the electricity.

Understood, Norton.
Tell me how did you get this?

Don't divert my attention.

What's there, Norton?

Your statistics is
completely wrong.

Here's too many lightnings.
So what it indicates, Jober?

You could have better
knowledge from there.

I absolutely don't recommend you
to perform carpet bombing
with your machines here.

You just replace one killer
by another one.

Well, Norton, I understood.

Please wait, I
will call back.

And in a case I don't,

light beacons will highlight
the safe part of path for you.

Bye, till the
next connection.

Norton, connect.

Verdict from the squad
headquarters, it concerns you.

Just one phrase:

To David Norton, the expert
of the squad headquarters:

Grant him the right to act in a
way he will consider necessary.

Garanin, Headquarters chief.

And nothing more.

With the paths made by Norton,

commandos were able to
carry the necessary equipment
deep into the electric areas.

Since that time, there's no
more deaths on The Plateau.

And mines are working
uninterruptedly now,
giving the raw materials.

- Thank you, Garanin.
- Good bye.

You all can go now.

Except Poling.

How do you think, Poling,
whom we could trust
to meet with David Norton?

Me?

Listen, Poling, we need
to know, why these
4 former space commandos --

try to skip the
contact with us.

May I go?

Go, Poling, and keep your
emotions far from this task. Go.

We're starting to own the space.
The space owns us too little by little.

That's interesting, what
Poling will achieve.

The thing is not in Poling.
Poling, you, me...

We're just people,
ordinary people.

But these four, they're...

I don't know...

Don't know...

Dave.

I've came here, to offer
you to contact with us.

Immediately and voluntarily.

Let's suppose, I accept.
What then?

Obviously, the science
will get you.

Frank, I'm not a mechanism
which could be disassembled --

and then reassembled
to a similarity of
what I was before.

Listen, there is
also different methods.

I see you're in trouble now.

OK, let's consider they aren't
concerned with us hardly.

Yet.

They're not fools
working there?

Of course it could be
silly to rely on this.

So in what manner
we should act now?

What if they will ask
again their questions?

Even if somebody of us will
try to explain them...

They will not consider
us humans anymore.

Scientists will found the
huge scientific institute.

In honor of our monstrosity.
They'll cover us
with a wired dome.

And we'll turn into
a lab flask --

with phenomenal
qualities.

What do you suggest?

You don't examine me, while
I am alive. After my death
I leave my body to you.

Then examine me
as much as you want.

Frank, aren't you
disappointed too much?

The thing is not about me.

As I can understand, Dave,
you refuse to help us?

Why do you try to stay in
struggle against the all mankind?

But who told you that I'm
going to struggle against
all the mankind?

Yes, Timur, it's clear that
they are not going
to leave us alone.

And at last, they'll consider
us danger to the public.

Your legal rights
are not in doubt.

But biological rights ...

I was born on Earth,
from the earthlings.

And nobody is allowed
to call me non-human.

I'm sorry for you,
Moon Dave.

But still who we are?

We're humans, Dave.

And I believe,
that we're knowable.

Yes, probably
not right now.

And of course not in labs.

And not in the special
quarantine zones.

We're retired too early.

We ought to return
to space.

We can be useful,
very useful.

I am not sure at all,
that it's just that very time,

when our generation will
comprehend all the influence of the
extraterrestrial upon human beings.

But I think that our
experience will help at
least those who'll follow us.

will help to approach
the absolute truth.

They will comprehend what we
consider the mystery now.
