Azerbaijanfilm Cinema Studio
named after Jafar Jabbarly

2
00:01:38,180 --> 00:01:39,199
Good afternoon.

3
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:40,940
Sorry, we're lost.

4
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,390
Can we rest here for a bit?

5
00:01:46,859 --> 00:01:47,889
Yes, of course.

6
00:01:48,689 --> 00:01:49,690
Come in.

7
00:01:50,991 --> 00:01:52,891
Wow...

8
00:01:53,542 --> 00:01:55,092
Look at that...

9
00:02:14,129 --> 00:02:15,780
Today the children saw
the sea for the first time.

10
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,719
The entire coastline
has been cleared now.

11
00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:35,280
"Rose of the Winds"?

12
00:02:35,831 --> 00:02:36,881
Yes.

13
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:39,629
You worked there?

14
00:02:41,980 --> 00:02:43,080
Mmhmm.

15
00:02:43,949 --> 00:02:45,330
And you descended to the bottom?

16
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:50,489
It was part of the job.

17
00:02:51,150 --> 00:02:53,760
Were you on the island
during the disaster, too?

18
00:02:57,629 --> 00:02:58,650
Yes, I was.

19
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:01,369
And... you're from a
boarding school, right?

20
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:05,919
Yes.

21
00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:08,699
Do you understand now that
this isn't mere curiosity?

22
00:03:09,930 --> 00:03:13,759
You are the first living eyewitness
they've met of those events.

23
00:03:15,580 --> 00:03:17,130
Maybe you could speak about them?

24
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,369
Interaction with an eyewitness can't
be substituted by films or books.

25
00:03:21,908 --> 00:03:24,200
Are you sure that they...

26
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:27,029
...need this?

27
00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:28,835
I'm sure.

28
00:03:29,859 --> 00:03:31,819
A sense of responsibility
for everything

29
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,569
that happens in the world should be
instilled in children from childhood.

30
00:03:36,150 --> 00:03:37,550
Of course,

31
00:03:37,650 --> 00:03:40,179
the details are too
hard for children to take.

32
00:03:41,082 --> 00:03:42,500
Do you understand?

33
00:03:46,819 --> 00:03:49,600
All right, I... will try.

34
00:04:01,530 --> 00:04:04,580
I went to the pontoon island
"Rose of the Winds"

35
00:04:04,730 --> 00:04:07,309
in order to explore a cemetery

36
00:04:07,409 --> 00:04:09,830
or sunken ships

37
00:04:09,930 --> 00:04:12,959
discovered shortly before my arrival.

38
00:04:14,860 --> 00:04:17,360
AND IT WILL ECHO

39
00:04:19,361 --> 00:04:23,761
based on Gennadiy Tishchenko's
science fiction story "Heritage"

40
00:04:37,259 --> 00:04:39,579
We were in a hurry.

41
00:04:39,729 --> 00:04:41,490
According to the
seismological forecasts,

42
00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:47,220
an earthquake was expected in
this area in about ten days,

43
00:04:49,099 --> 00:04:53,089
as a result of which the sunken ships

44
00:04:53,189 --> 00:04:58,259
for us, us historians,
could have been lost forever.

45
00:05:26,719 --> 00:05:27,979
How long will this take?

46
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:29,359
Two or three dives.

47
00:05:29,459 --> 00:05:31,190
And then, processing
the data with Mehti.

48
00:05:31,290 --> 00:05:33,020
By the way, he will meet
us in the lower airlock.

49
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,850
I would really like to
see the sunken ships.

50
00:05:37,649 --> 00:05:38,999
Take me with you.

51
00:05:39,269 --> 00:05:40,709
- I can't.
- But why?

52
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,710
A woman on a ship is a bad omen.

53
00:05:42,810 --> 00:05:44,330
Oh, take me. Please,

54
00:05:44,430 --> 00:05:46,779
I'm begging you, come on...

55
00:05:46,979 --> 00:05:49,939
Oh, all right. But I will go
on the first dive alone.

56
00:05:50,039 --> 00:05:52,019
Deal?
- Mmhmm.

57
00:09:51,809 --> 00:09:54,409
Later I learned

58
00:09:54,509 --> 00:09:57,749
that this was an eruption
of an underwater volcano.

59
00:09:59,429 --> 00:10:01,909
The bathyscaphe's engines
were damaged, and...

60
00:10:03,249 --> 00:10:06,169
In the first few days,
I waited for help,

61
00:10:06,269 --> 00:10:08,809
but later I realized.

62
00:10:08,909 --> 00:10:13,019
I realized that something very
serious had happened on the island.

63
00:10:15,239 --> 00:10:17,539
Yes. Only on the twelfth day,

64
00:10:17,639 --> 00:10:20,989
with the oxygen supplies running low,

65
00:10:21,089 --> 00:10:23,509
did I manage to finally...

66
00:10:23,609 --> 00:10:24,859
finally surface.

67
00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:53,039
How is Anna?

68
00:13:58,229 --> 00:14:01,609
Anna?

69
00:14:01,709 --> 00:14:03,009
Yes.

70
00:14:03,109 --> 00:14:04,759
Of course.

71
00:14:04,859 --> 00:14:06,229
She is alive.

72
00:14:06,329 --> 00:14:11,119
Let's go.

73
00:14:11,219 --> 00:14:14,239
Anna is helping me search
for archival materials.

74
00:14:14,339 --> 00:14:16,679
In my opinion, this is
a bacteriological weapon.

75
00:14:16,829 --> 00:14:18,729
Or perhaps a chemical one.

76
00:14:18,829 --> 00:14:21,179
It may have come from
a ship that sank

77
00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:23,911
or was deliberately sunk
in the twentieth century.

78
00:14:24,011 --> 00:14:27,759
A depressurization may have
occurred during the eruption.

79
00:14:40,459 --> 00:14:41,479
What is this?

80
00:14:41,579 --> 00:14:43,219
Disinfection.

81
00:16:07,019 --> 00:16:09,619
You see,

82
00:16:09,719 --> 00:16:14,689
an epidemic began two
days after you set sail.

83
00:16:14,789 --> 00:16:23,629
When the quarantine was declared,
many were already on the mainland.

84
00:16:23,729 --> 00:16:30,019
Modern transport has played
a cruel joke on humanity.

85
00:16:39,119 --> 00:16:40,879
People are dying,

86
00:16:40,979 --> 00:16:44,809
as are animals, birds, fish.

87
00:16:44,909 --> 00:16:49,259
They are all carriers
of this deadly disease.

88
00:16:50,219 --> 00:16:53,359
All the largest cities on the planet

89
00:16:53,459 --> 00:16:56,689
have declared a quarantine.

90
00:16:56,789 --> 00:16:58,879
But despite the measures taken,

91
00:16:58,979 --> 00:17:02,509
the pandemic continues to spread
across the whole planet.

92
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:08,299
Everything in the infected
zones has to be disinfected.

93
00:17:08,849 --> 00:17:10,679
However, as in the Middle Ages,

94
00:17:10,779 --> 00:17:13,829
the best means of disinfection
remains fire.

95
00:17:14,609 --> 00:17:16,849
The fight against the
spread of the pandemic

96
00:17:16,949 --> 00:17:18,909
is growing in scale.

97
00:17:19,009 --> 00:17:22,679
Already a vaccine is being created
that protects against infection.

98
00:17:28,769 --> 00:17:32,479
It is not currently possible to even
roughly calculate the number of victims.

99
00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:37,299
And I... I have three days left.

100
00:18:23,219 --> 00:18:25,759
This is all documentary footage.

101
00:18:25,859 --> 00:18:28,099
All this happened in
the twentieth century.

102
00:18:28,199 --> 00:18:29,379
But it is difficult to even imagine

103
00:18:29,479 --> 00:18:31,869
what types of weapons were
not created in those years.

104
00:18:31,969 --> 00:18:35,039
I will not list all the accidents
that occurred in different countries

105
00:18:35,139 --> 00:18:38,599
at chemical plants, nuclear power
plants and in secret laboratories.

106
00:18:38,699 --> 00:18:43,559
But chemical and bacteriological
weapons were also used deliberately.

107
00:18:43,659 --> 00:18:45,939
One is astounded by the irresponsibility
of the people of that time period.

108
00:18:46,039 --> 00:18:48,839
This is footage from a Korean newsreel
from the mid-twentieth century.

109
00:18:49,919 --> 00:18:51,149
Bacteriological warfare.

110
00:18:59,909 --> 00:19:02,299
Disinfection is being carried out.

111
00:19:02,412 --> 00:19:05,162
This is vaccination.

112
00:19:05,249 --> 00:19:07,909
And these are the
carriers of infection -

113
00:19:08,009 --> 00:19:12,139
insects that were placed
in bacteriological bombs.

114
00:19:12,239 --> 00:19:14,059
Do you think that the eruption
was accompanied

115
00:19:14,159 --> 00:19:17,449
by the depressurization of a biological
weapon on one of the sunken ships?

116
00:19:18,989 --> 00:19:21,359
It is possible that these
were simply waste products,

117
00:19:21,929 --> 00:19:23,509
chemical or radioactive,

118
00:19:23,609 --> 00:19:26,299
which then caused mutations
in ordinary bacteria

119
00:19:26,399 --> 00:19:27,839
and turned them deadly.

120
00:19:30,789 --> 00:19:31,759
Okay,

121
00:19:31,859 --> 00:19:34,819
today we will send bathyscaphes
to visit the sunken ships.

122
00:19:34,919 --> 00:19:36,469
Now regarding the operation:

123
00:19:36,569 --> 00:19:39,619
any infected organisms
must certainly be destroyed.

124
00:19:39,719 --> 00:19:41,929
I know the geneticists' objections,

125
00:19:42,029 --> 00:19:45,229
but the approaching typhoon
does not give us

126
00:19:47,429 --> 00:19:49,279
any time for deliberations.

127
00:19:49,379 --> 00:19:52,379
But such treatment of the atmosphere and
ocean could give rise to new mutations.

128
00:19:53,249 --> 00:19:55,215
An operation of such scale has
never been carried out before -

129
00:19:55,315 --> 00:19:57,169
its consequences are
simply unpredictable!

130
00:19:57,269 --> 00:19:58,549
Do you have any specific proposals?

131
00:19:58,649 --> 00:20:00,279
Alas, if only I did.

132
00:20:02,189 --> 00:20:04,349
All right, then.

133
00:20:04,499 --> 00:20:06,299
For now, we will send
out the expedition.

134
00:20:12,179 --> 00:20:13,579
Are you feeling unwell?

135
00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:16,499
I'm sorry, I didn't know these
memories were so difficult for you.

136
00:20:18,389 --> 00:20:19,869
Everything is fine.

137
00:20:19,969 --> 00:20:23,659
Alas, this happens to me sometimes.
I... I will continue.

138
00:20:23,759 --> 00:20:25,769
Maybe you shouldn't?

139
00:20:28,169 --> 00:20:33,579
Thank you, I really do feel better.

140
00:20:33,679 --> 00:20:35,089
And so, a day after

141
00:20:35,189 --> 00:20:38,389
my return to the island,

142
00:20:38,489 --> 00:20:42,209
an expedition was sent
to the eruption area.

143
00:20:47,032 --> 00:20:51,222
And since I knew this area
better than others,

144
00:20:51,329 --> 00:20:54,469
the sunken ship with its deadly cargo

145
00:20:54,569 --> 00:20:58,179
chanced to be found by us -

146
00:20:58,379 --> 00:21:00,709
me and Mehti.

147
00:21:47,009 --> 00:21:49,399
The analyzed compounds

148
00:21:49,499 --> 00:21:54,019
lead to mutations in the bacteria
present in highly developed organisms.

149
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,109
The immune system of these organisms

150
00:21:56,210 --> 00:22:00,260
is unable to fight the mutant
bacteria that have penetrated it,

151
00:22:00,379 --> 00:22:05,319
as a result of which the infected
organisms are doomed to death.

152
00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:18,619
Yes,

153
00:22:18,719 --> 00:22:20,929
the vaccine has been tested on animals.

154
00:22:21,029 --> 00:22:23,509
Yes, the results are promising.

155
00:22:23,609 --> 00:22:26,809
But it is impossible to vaccinate
all the animals on the planet.

156
00:22:27,059 --> 00:22:29,569
To destroy all the infected organisms,

157
00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:31,609
such high doses of chemicals
and radiation would be required

158
00:22:31,709 --> 00:22:34,499
that such treatment of the ocean
would not go unpunished..

159
00:22:35,849 --> 00:22:38,959
It seems to me that at some
turning point in history,

160
00:22:39,059 --> 00:22:41,869
our civilization took a wrong turn.

161
00:22:41,969 --> 00:22:44,209
No, I am not calling for
a return to nature.

162
00:22:44,309 --> 00:22:48,119
but it is simply vitally important to
foresee the possible consequences
of our every step.

163
00:22:48,929 --> 00:22:52,069
Humanity is too powerful to
allow itself to be careless,

164
00:22:52,169 --> 00:22:53,819
even in the smallest things.

165
00:23:25,619 --> 00:23:27,349
You'll see,

166
00:23:27,449 --> 00:23:30,139
everything will be fine.

167
00:23:30,239 --> 00:23:32,359
Fine?

168
00:23:32,459 --> 00:23:33,509
But look here.

169
00:23:34,469 --> 00:23:35,629
Is this fine?

170
00:23:35,729 --> 00:23:37,789
And look over here.

171
00:23:37,889 --> 00:23:39,379
Is this also fine? And look...
- Anna!

172
00:23:39,472 --> 00:23:40,632
- This too?

173
00:23:40,709 --> 00:23:42,879
Tomorrow you will not be able
to look at me without disgust!

174
00:23:42,980 --> 00:23:44,030
Anna!

175
00:24:01,379 --> 00:24:04,579
Forgive me. It seems that I again...

176
00:24:04,679 --> 00:24:08,929
You see, we really had
no other choice then,

177
00:24:09,029 --> 00:24:12,469
and we were forced

178
00:24:12,569 --> 00:24:16,009
to carry out an operation
to destroy all

179
00:24:16,109 --> 00:24:18,229
the infected birds, fish,

180
00:24:18,329 --> 00:24:21,439
and animals in our region.

181
00:24:21,539 --> 00:24:23,719
Otherwise,

182
00:24:23,819 --> 00:24:24,989
everything would have
simply disappeared.

183
00:24:27,449 --> 00:24:30,769
All living things, all
forms of life on our planet.

184
00:24:30,869 --> 00:24:33,859
Do you understand?

185
00:24:33,959 --> 00:24:35,119
Everyone, everyone, everyone!

186
00:24:35,369 --> 00:24:37,819
The typhoon is already a hundred
kilometers from the island!

187
00:24:37,919 --> 00:24:41,429
The entire population is mobilizing
to destroy the infected organisms.

188
00:24:41,679 --> 00:24:43,349
Gather at the third pier.

189
00:24:43,449 --> 00:24:44,459
I repeat.

190
00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:48,589
Everyone, everyone, everyone! The
typhoon is already a hundred
kilometers from the island!

191
00:24:48,689 --> 00:24:52,579
The entire population is mobilizing
to destroy the infected organisms.

192
00:24:52,679 --> 00:24:54,549
Gather at the third pier.

193
00:27:27,689 --> 00:27:28,969
I'm sorry.

194
00:27:29,069 --> 00:27:31,609
I know everything,
but this is very urgent.

195
00:27:31,709 --> 00:27:33,949
The biomass found at the bottom
continues to increase in size.

196
00:27:34,049 --> 00:27:35,979
Let's go. They're waiting for us.

197
00:27:42,749 --> 00:27:45,319
And finally, the last day came.

198
00:27:45,419 --> 00:27:47,000
Or rather, the last morning.

199
00:27:56,009 --> 00:27:57,469
Come in.

200
00:27:57,569 --> 00:27:59,529
Here is the last recording.

201
00:28:02,129 --> 00:28:03,469
With the help of robots,

202
00:28:03,569 --> 00:28:07,419
we managed to take several
samples of this strange substance.

203
00:28:10,649 --> 00:28:14,969
It seems that the treatment of the
ocean led to the birth of a
qualitatively new form of life,

204
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,969
also based on carbon,

205
00:28:17,069 --> 00:28:18,762
but with a different
molecular structure,

206
00:28:18,862 --> 00:28:21,439
similar to known proteins
and amino acids.

207
00:28:22,079 --> 00:28:25,229
Like a cancerous tumor, the
substance is growing rapidly.

208
00:28:25,412 --> 00:28:29,172
And by yesterday evening its size
had reached almost twenty kilometers.

209
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:31,229
Now it is impossible to predict...

210
00:29:34,679 --> 00:29:37,099
"Rose of the Winds" speaking,
"Rose of the Winds" speaking! Over!

211
00:29:37,229 --> 00:29:39,349
The serum that protects
against infection

212
00:29:39,449 --> 00:29:43,139
has also been delivered to Australia,
Antarctica and outer space settlements.

213
00:29:43,289 --> 00:29:46,669
After universal vaccination, the
planetary quarantine will be lifted

214
00:29:46,769 --> 00:29:49,609
and normal transport operations
will be restored.

215
00:29:49,709 --> 00:29:52,339
Calling "Rose of the Winds"!
Calling "Rose of the Winds"!

216
00:29:52,425 --> 00:29:54,855
According to orbital stations,
the size of the biomass

217
00:29:54,969 --> 00:29:59,249
that has risen from the ocean floor
has already exceeded 50 km in diameter.

218
00:29:59,350 --> 00:30:00,750
I repeat.

219
00:31:31,379 --> 00:31:34,039
In 1970,

220
00:31:34,139 --> 00:31:35,449
near the Bahamas islands,

221
00:31:35,549 --> 00:31:38,489
11,000 warheads were sunk

222
00:31:38,739 --> 00:31:40,679
that contained nerve agents.

223
00:31:43,109 --> 00:31:45,139
In the late 1970s,

224
00:31:45,239 --> 00:31:47,239
a leak of toxic substances

225
00:31:47,339 --> 00:31:50,389
at one of the chemical plants
in northern Italy

226
00:31:50,489 --> 00:31:53,869
caused painful illnesses
among the local population

227
00:31:53,969 --> 00:31:56,749
and resulted in the birth
of mutant children.

228
00:31:58,949 --> 00:32:01,309
By the early 1980s,

229
00:32:01,409 --> 00:32:04,069
in the USA were created 300,000 tons

230
00:32:04,169 --> 00:32:06,349
of toxic substances.

231
00:32:06,449 --> 00:32:10,529
Of these, up to fifty thousand
tons were nerve agents.

232
00:32:12,629 --> 00:32:14,599
At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean,

233
00:32:14,699 --> 00:32:15,709
near the shores of Ireland,

234
00:32:15,809 --> 00:32:19,499
more than 100,000 tons of hazardous
substances have accumulated.

235
00:32:28,379 --> 00:32:33,979
Man has created that which nature had not
created in billions of years of evolution.

236
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,459
The legacy of modern civilization

237
00:32:37,559 --> 00:32:41,059
may echo with monstrous cataclysms

238
00:32:41,159 --> 00:32:45,675
in tens, hundreds and
thousands of years.
