Infiniti (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Soleil noir - full transcript

The cargo was properly aligned.

Not necessarily.

Do you realise
you're talking about sabotage?

We're looking for proof
of human interference.

Holy fucking shit. I found it.

You said they were dead
and the station was empty.

Then they must have come back.

And no-one can come back from the ISS
without a radar recording their fall.

What are you really looking for?

There - on January 15.

Smack in the middle of the fall zone.



To the Tower of Silence?

That's where Anthony took me.

It was American sabotage
that caused the ISS crash.

S-sabotage?

You're under arrest, Mason.

-We're not alone!
-Stop it!

We are not alone!

Hey.

Ting!

Adil.

Nyet.

Mm-hm.

Adil!

We should be on site soon.



Who was he?

The man who saved us - who was he?

My brother-in-law.

And also my boss.

You've been married for a long time?

Any children?

We don't really need to chat, OK?

What are you really looking for?

Why are you so interested in these bodies?

'Cause I'm a cop, I guess.

So is your brother-in-law.

What about you?

What?

What about you?

Why are you here with me
in this shitty car?

You abducted me, remember?

I don't recall holding a gun to your head.

Yeah.

I guess I wonder if it's all true.

After the aborted launch,
I was diagnosed with paraphrenia.

The only thing that kept madness
at bay - real madness -

was the awareness that I was sick.

And then these things
started becoming real.

So I guess I wanna know,

am I the one going bonkers
or is it the world?

Your boyfriend is not on the ISS,
Miss Zaranthi.

Sorry.

He's dead, with the rest of the crew.

Russians did it.

They brought him down.

Then they killed him.

I don't know why.

Then…

..then they destroyed
the whole station to cover the mess.

Why would they do such a thing?

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

That's why I'm in
this shitty old car with you

driving to the radiation zone.

So maybe, when all is said and done,
we're both bonkers, huh?

Oh…

Hmm?

These are two alpha IDs.

You know they are not forgeable.

One of them was issued to Slavek Doronine.

The other to Anthony Kurz.

They were injected subcutaneously

right before they both went up to ISS.

But yet,

they were discovered recently

on two bodies found decapitated
in this sector.

Anthony Kurz is aboard the ISS.

You saw him.

We all saw the Starlight images.

Starlight I, an American satellite.

Just as Courier 15
is an American satellite -

the one that happened to be instrumental

in the sabotage of the ISS.

Does the Russian government
know of this theory?

Of course not.

Now, let me get this right, Lydia.

You're saying that a crew
descended from the station

without you knowing anything about it

and then got murdered
right before our eyes.

And for some mysterious reason,

the United States decided
to cover it all up

by destroying the ISS.

That's insane.

Now, how do you think your
government's going to react

when my government informs it
of this, your theory?

And who says you will get
a chance to tell them?

You're completely out of your mind, Lydia!

Miss Anna! Hey.

I think this is yours.

Hey. I bought it from him.

Would you take us to the entrance?

Uh, you know…

..there's a strong wind in steppe.

Radioactive dust is no good for lungs.

Oh, he's a doctor now.

How much?

Uh, you may take it for free
and I keep the cap.

Uh, but you no go to zone
in car like that.

I drive.

I'm a good driver.

OK.

There is no chance
I'm driving in this shit.

Latitude 18.3 north,

longitude 24.5 west

and altitude 638.3km.

Bring up the onboard data.

What is that?

Debris from a busted satellite.

Their trajectories will touch.

It gets worse.

The ISS is deorbiting steadily.

It'll hit the cloud of debris in 90 hours.

Hey.

What's all this?

The automatic rendezvous system
triggered the crash

using the GPS data from Courier 15, right?

Yeah.

Well, I think Mason was right.

All it takes to hack into
a clunker like Courier 15

is a powerful radar antenna
and a good relay engineer.

Balkhash and Gilgamesh Osminin
are both of those things.

Are you out of your mind?

Osminin is a legend in the space program.

He's a pioneer.
Why would he do such a thing?

You know, I went through
the radar data myself.

Gilgamesh Osminin went through the trouble

of erasing all the files,

including those of January 15.

Why can't… Reva, stop, OK?

The Americans corrupted the data, not us.

No, because…

..going through Courier 15
was guaranteed to be noticed.

It's like leaving an 'I am guilty'
note at a crime scene.

The Americans don't work that way.

Mikhail…

Mikhail!

Anna's disappearance… Whoa…

..the murders at Yegorov,
this whole docking fiasco.

Come on, you'd need help from the inside.

You know what, that's enough!

These people working here, they're
our colleagues and our friends.

They…they've given their lives
to Mother Russia.

They would never betray her.

Do you understand?

Get home and get some rest.

Go to bed. Let's stop spinning fairytales.

If none of this is true, then why did
Anna go to Balkhash?

Goodbye, Reva.

You're not Russian - that's true.

And you cannot fathom the pride
that we take in this cosmodrome.

I meant no offence. I'm not blaming you.

Quite the opposite.

In fact, it makes you quite insightful.

You have a perspective that neither I
nor Mikhail nor Emil can have.

Do you believe that Gilgamesh Osminin…

..could have hacked into Courier 15
and caused the accident?

It's only a theory.

I need to ask you a question.

This is a, um…strange one.

Do you think it's possible

the crew returned to Earth
without being noticed?

No.

All celestial objects that
re-enter the Earth's atmosphere,

they're tracked and logged.

Unless… Unless what?

Unless all the radars in the zone
malfunctioned at the same time.

As in…

As in the solar flare last January 15?

There was…no malfunction.

But the flares disrupted the data.

Do you think…

..Balkhash might have recorded
traces of a re-entry on 15 January?

That's why Gilgamesh erased all the data.

Something you should know…

..the fire on Mir 25 years ago

was caused by a short circuit.

That short was caused by
electromagnetic disruptions

emanating from a gigantic solar flare…

..like the one on January 15.

And guess what.

Gilgamesh was part of that crew.

Ay!

This is about the rescue mission?

Yes.

More than 50 years
working at the Cosmodrome.

Didn't think that I'd live through
this kind of tragedy again.

It'll be here, Miss Shripati.

Thank you.

And I'll be praying that
you bring them back alive.

Stop.

You sure it's here?

These are the coordinates.

We have to go back to Baikonur. What?

Wanna die? Two times not enough?

There's nothing here.

Unless I'm missing something.

They didn't come back.

They're still up there.

There's nothing there.
Your friends are dead.

The ISS is sending us messages.

They are asking for help.

They're calling out for me.

And I'm just down here looking at…

What?

Forget about the murders?

They…they're just headless bodies.

Even Kurz at my window was just…

..an image I created myself

to pretend that Anthony
did not take my place,

but this is just a fucking fantasy.

It's an illusion.

Shut up!

Was my son an illusion?

Was my son an illusion?!

His burnt body just a fantasy?

Huh?

They tried to kill me

because I found their fucking cosmonaut.

They tried to silence me. I…

I was doing my job and they killed my boy!

They killed my little boy!

He was 10 years old. He did nothing wrong!

His death is not an illusion!

He's not a fucking image
in your fucking head!

He didn't die for nothing.

Your friends came back.

Some bastards tried to hide it from us.

I'm gonna find them.

And I'm gonna kill them.

That Gilga, he lied to us.

He sent us here on purpose…

..to throw us off the track.

He knows more than you think.

Gotta get back. Now.

It's not possible.

What do you mean, not possible?

The storm is coming

and…and the dust is radioactive.

We must hide.

Where?

Are you still here, Miss Shripati?

Did you find what you were looking for?

Yes, well, the future does depend on it.

Um, I'm sorry to leave this like this.

You were right. It's the same story.

In 1997, the Eternity mission
was interrupted by a solar flare

that caused the fire.

These storms happen every 25 years.

The crew evacuated Mir,
and yet even after the evacuation,

the data from the station
continued to indicate

that there was a presence on board,

as if someone or…or something
had stayed behind.

Echoes maybe.

No, believe me,
at the moment they evacuated,

they were not alone.

There's something else.

I think I'm being followed.

Where are you?

Lot B. OK.

Listen, lock yourself at home
and don't open the door for anyone.

OK.

No! No!

He says that, um,
the storm will end tomorrow.

And you must leave early

because the land is poisoned.

If the land is poisoned,
why does he live here?

When they dropped the bomb,

there was a bright…like a sun.

But it was black sun.

And he lost his whole family
from radiation.

And many people died here
because of the radiation.

So he's the last one.

But he stays here for his wife.

His wife didn't die?

She died here, but live over there.

Not far.

At night, he hears her singing

and he starts singing with her,

and their voices respond to each other.

I'm sorry about earlier.

For your son. I didn't know.

You couldn't have known.

It's my fault.
I should not have brought you here.

But you saved my life.

I owe you that much.

You really think they're still alive?

It's strange.
I only knew Kurz for a few days.

But it's as though we were bonded.

And I can still feel the bond…
is not broken.

He's alive.

Is this the doctor speaking?

It's absurd.

You would make good friends
with my partner, Chingiz.

He, um, also believed in Santa Claus.

So it's true - you…

..won't believe in anything.

My mother, she was like this man.

She believed in spirits.

She…prayed to the mountains,

to the land.

Talking with the flowers in the morning.

I talk to flowers.

She didn't accept our modern things,
like medicine.

And she died at my age.

Yes, I do believe in something.

I believe in science.

I believe in, uh, evidence.

I'm a cop. I believe in…

I believe in antibiotics.

So if there is Santa Claus…

..it just means I never get my presents.

Hungry?

Huh?

Where did you get this parachute?

You throw everything out window.

You dig giant big hole.

Take metal out. Send to space.

And you leave hole. You leave metal.

Everything, you leave.

One day, it will fall on your heads.

You play God. Pfft!

Yours?

You say few days only.

Now many months.

Never believe white people.

Never believe.

Wait too long. Six months.

Almost go away.

I'm sorry. I don't understand
what you're saying.

Watch. Watch!

Men come looking.

But no, no…no afraid.

I say nothing.

What men?

Russian men. Military.

I say nothing.

Shoes.

"Never sell. We wait.
We trust. Give money now."

But…

..how?

Man come.

They hurt.

They ask phone, but here no phone.

But the man was not man no more.

He have demon in eye.

He shaitan.

They give watch so we feed, we cure.

They promise come back.
But never come back.

Never!

But this man…

..he eaten from inside!

We can no…look him.

No can look him!

Xi?

Oh, Xi!

Oh, Xi, it is you.

Xi, I'm here.

What happened?

What…

Come on…

Xi, come on, come on.

Look at me!

Where are the others? Are they dead?

What?

They're expecting you.

Get down!

Anna, this is Lydia.

The Cosmodrome's security betrayed us.

You are safe now.

I'm on my way to bring you back
to Baikonur.

It's over.

This is…

This is ISS.

Doronine Slavek speaking,

captain of an endangered crew.

30 June…

..2021.

This is a message in a bottle.

The ISS has run out of resources.

If you're receiving this message,

it will be our last.

We are on our last…48 hours

of oxygen.

They managed to reactivate the batteries.

It's the right frequency - 534 megahertz.

They're broadcasting to the whole country.

..are near empty.

This is a message in a bottle.

Please.

Help us.
