Shcherba, hallo!
Kern, hallo!
Shcherba, Kern, hallo!
The situation looks bad.
Well, get ready.
We're going to land now. The atmosphere
is calmer at night. Quadrant 73.
Masha? I'm here.
Masha, we come in to land.
You're staying alone in the outer space.
Mashenka, my dear.
Track us on the locator.
But you know what to do. I do.
Listen, Masha.
If we die ...
don't lose your head.
Message acknowledged.
May I cut off communication?
You may, my girl.
It's the hardest on the one who's alone.
Earth. The mission headquarters ...
...allows to interrupt
the expedition any moment.
Your people, that's most important.
We wish you a success!
Your country is with you.
Hallo, Earth!
Headquarters! We're landing
in the charted district.
The landing field has been chosen
from the glider. Quadrant 73.
We promise to the soviet government
...to our country,
...and all the soviet nation
...that we'll do our best
to justify your trust.
Hallo. If something happens,
take care of Ivanova, she's alone.
That's it, Ilya. It's time.
Take the aerial away. Ready.
Switching on the automatic. Guided by
the beacon and 3OO meters south west.
Is it really Venus?!
Quadrant 73.
Wow! I'm starting to feel my weight. We've
grown out of the habit of gravitation..
The ship shows no setting.
The ground is solid.
Well done, scouts!
She's standing firm, old
girl. Just like on Earth.
I'm lifting up the blinds. Go ahead!
Give me some light. Roman.
No use, thick fog's all around.
Let's check around with locators.
There's a rock here,
two hundred meters off.
I see some junk in this sector.
Another rock.
I'll turn on the outer mikes. Come on.
Did you hear that? Yes.
What could it be? Be quiet.
Well, enough. No time to waste.
Roman, switch on the infra red radar.
I'll get it recorded. Sure,
we'll send it over to Earth.
Switch on the weather station and
bio locator, the seismic probe also.
In a word, act according to Program 1.
When Masha appears above the horizon, tell her,
we've touched down. I'll tell her a tall story.
Save your boasting till later,
when we've saved our people.
Starting out when it
gets light? Yes, at six.
I'm standing! Let me try a few steps?
Careful! Try the ground
with the probe! Okay.
A stone as a stone...
Water as water...
Somewhat unbelievable!
Alexey!
You'd better come back! Just a moment.
Oh!
Ilya Vassilievich!
What's up? Masha has spotted the glider.
Are they alive? She's spotted two
metal objects next to each other.
One is motionless, the other's
moving. Must be a robot.
Keeping silence? They are. Their
radio might have broken down.
Alexey!
Get up! It's holding me.
No panic!
Are you okay? No worries, Alexey!
I'm all right! The spacesuit is intact.
Let me take a picture of him.
There Is Life!
Here's the answer to
the principal question.
Haste makes waste, guy. You're
lucky we've come in good time.
But how did you guess?
We heard a scream.
So did I. Strange.
This is Venus, my friends.
What else did Masha
say? What else to say?
I feared for you so much. And I'm so
happy now, as I've never been before.
Masha, we're interested in the details.
Excuse me, I've just lost my
head. They're in quadrant 1O7,
...beyond the red spot.
Directly across the gulf,
...it's 32 kilometers from you.
Understood.
Get our all terrain vehicle
ready. 32 kilometers to go?
Quite a distance for the
vehicle. What do you suggest?
Never land gliders on Venus.
We'll think of it. Come on, quick.
Ilya Vassilievich? But are they alive?
Masha!
Masha, don't you think that the robot
could have started up on its own?
No.
I understand you. No, no.
No, 'cause we loaded it disassembled,
it had to be assembled there.
Hold on now. Okay.
Bloody bastards.
Quick! Hold them for
just another minute.
It hit you hard, John. A mighty blow.
Okay!
The course is 1O. Make secure
on the rock. Pull the rope tight.
Do as I say. Yes sir.
An ordinary man is incapable
of conquering
