I'm a writer, 00:17:40.636 --> 00:17:43.556 so, naturally, everyone calls me Writer for some reason. 00:17:44.223 --> 00:17:47.560 - And what do you write about? - About the readers. 00:17:47.768 --> 00:17:50.354 Obviously, there's nothing else one should write about. 00:17:50.563 --> 00:17:53.566 One should write about nothing at all. 00:17:54.733 --> 00:17:58.487 And what are you? A chemist? 00:17:59.864 --> 00:18:01.198 A physicist rather. 00:18:01.740 --> 00:18:04.952 That must be boring, too. Searching for the truth. 00:18:06.370 --> 00:18:10.749 It's hiding and you keep searching for it. 00:18:10.958 --> 00:18:14.920 You dig in one place - eureka! The nucleus is made of protons. 00:18:15.129 --> 00:18:17.172 You dig in another - great! 00:18:17.381 --> 00:18:21.260 Triangle ABC equals Triangle A-prim, B-prim, C-prim. 00:18:22.261 --> 00:18:24.138 With me it's quite different. 00:18:25.556 --> 00:18:30.811 While I am digging for the truth, so much happens to it 00:18:31.312 --> 00:18:33.522 that instead of discovering the truth 00:18:33.898 --> 00:18:37.693 I dig up a heap of, pardon...

Those connoisseurs... 00:19:19.026 --> 00:19:21.320 Is it what you think about all the time? 00:19:23.864 --> 00:19:25.199 God forbid! 00:19:26.033 --> 00:19:28.452 In fact, I don't think much. It's not good for me. 00:19:29.078 --> 00:19:33.832 It's impossible to write, thinking all the time of success or failure. 00:19:34.041 --> 00:19:39.380 Naturlich! But if no one is going to read me in one hundred years, 00:19:39.588 --> 00:19:41.632 why the hell should I write at all? 00:19:43.509 --> 00:19:48.514 Tell me, Professor, why did you let yourself be mixed up in all this? 00:19:48.889 --> 00:19:50.391 What do you need the Zone for? 00:19:52.476 --> 00:19:55.646 I'm a scientist in some sense. 00:19:58.190 --> 00:19:59.775 But what do you need it for? 00:20:01.569 --> 00:20:03.070 You're an "in" writer. r 00:20:04.280 --> 00:20:07.157 Women must be running after you in flocks. 00:20:07.324 --> 00:20:11.996 My inspiration has been lost, Professor.

But they don't go this way. 00:56:56.242 --> 00:56:59.328 What do I care that they don't? What if I take a chance... 00:56:59.537 --> 00:57:01.080 Listen, what's the matter with you... 00:57:01.288 --> 00:57:04.625 To go all the way around! When everything's so close. 00:57:05.209 --> 00:57:08.462 Here a risk, there a risk. What the hell! 00:57:08.671 --> 00:57:11.924 You're being very flippant about this. 00:57:14.134 --> 00:57:16.637 I'm fed up with all those nuts and bandages. 00:57:17.429 --> 00:57:20.641 You may do as you wish, but I'm going. 00:57:21.350 --> 00:57:23.936 - You're insane. - It's you who are... 00:57:24.937 --> 00:57:26.355 May I? 00:57:38.492 --> 00:57:39.994 The wind is coming up... 00:57:42.037 --> 00:57:44.623 Can you feel it?

Don't move! 01:00:28.537 --> 01:00:31.457 - Why did you do it? - Why did I do what? 01:00:31.916 --> 01:00:37.004 - Why did you stop him? - I thought it was you... 01:01:17.002 --> 01:01:21.090 What's up? Why did you stop me? 01:01:21.966 --> 01:01:23.300 I didn't stop you. 01:01:23.509 --> 01:01:25.761 Who did it then? You? 01:01:30.224 --> 01:01:31.851 Who the hell knows... 01:01:34.395 --> 01:01:37.022 You're smart, Mister Shakespeare. 01:01:37.523 --> 01:01:39.984 To go straight ahead is scary, to go back is embarrassing. 01:01:40.651 --> 01:01:46.031 So you gave yourself a command. Fear has made you come to your senses. 01:01:46.824 --> 01:01:48.409 - What? - Stop it. 01:01:48.993 --> 01:01:52.204 - Why have you emptied the bottle? - Stop it, I said! 01:02:08.345 --> 01:02:12.600 The Zone is a very complicated system... 01:02:15.644 --> 01:02:19.190 of traps, and they're all deadly. 01:02:22.276 --> 01:02:25.029 I don't know what's going on here in the absence of people, 01:02:25.905 --> 01:02:31.160 but the moment someone shows up, everything comes into motion. 01:02:33.829 --> 01:02:36.498 Old traps disappear and new ones emerge. 01:02:38.334 --> 01:02:40.920 Safe spots become impassable. 01:02:42.671 --> 01:02:47.593 Now your path is easy, now it's hopelessly involved. 01:02:52.264 --> 01:02:53.641 That's the Zone. 01:02:55.267 --> 01:02:58.604 It may even seem capricious. 01:03:00.231 --> 01:03:04.026 But it is what we've made it with our condition. 01:03:07.279 --> 01:03:12.535 It happened that people had to stop halfway and go back. 01:03:14.245 --> 01:03:17.456 Some of them even died on the very threshold of the room. 01:03:18.916 --> 01:03:21.877 But everything that's going on here depends not on the Zone, but on us! 01:03:22.503 --> 01:03:25.965 So it lets the good ones pass and kills the bad ones? 01:03:27.341 --> 01:03:29.093 I don't know. 01:03:29.260 --> 01:03:31.679 I think it lets those pass who... 01:03:32.680 --> 01:03:34.723 have lost all hope. 01:03:35.224 --> 01:03:39.186 Not good or bad, but wretched people. 01:03:40.688 --> 01:03:44.567 But even the most wretched will die if they don't know how to behave. 01:03:54.743 --> 01:03:58.122 You have been lucky, it just warned you. 01:04:02.835 --> 01:04:05.504 I guess I'll wait for you here 01:04:06.672 --> 01:04:11.677 until you come back, made happy. 01:04:12.678 --> 01:04:14.096 It's impossible! 01:04:14.305 --> 01:04:17.391 I've got sandwiches, a thermos... 01:04:17.600 --> 01:04:20.102 You won't last even an hour here without me. 01:04:20.644 --> 01:04:23.731 Besides, one doesn't return here the way one comes. 01:04:26.233 --> 01:04:28.194 Anyway, I would prefer... 01:04:28.402 --> 01:04:30.696 Then we're going back right away. 01:04:31.530 --> 01:04:35.492 I'll return your money minus a certain sum 01:04:36.202 --> 01:04:37.661 for the trouble, so to speak... 01:04:38.746 --> 01:04:40.664 Have you come to your senses, Professor? 01:04:46.045 --> 01:04:48.839 All right. Go on, throw your nut. 01:05:40.057 --> 01:05:43.727 Part Two 01:05:45.896 --> 01:05:51.902 STALKER 01:05:54.822 --> 01:05:57.825 Where are you? Come here! 01:06:03.163 --> 01:06:04.707 Are you tired? 01:06:20.472 --> 01:06:22.266 Oh, God! 01:06:25.769 --> 01:06:30.316 Judging by his tone, he's going to start sermonizing again. 01:06:49.919 --> 01:06:52.546 Let everything that's been planned come true. 01:06:54.006 --> 01:06:55.883 Let them believe. 01:06:57.927 --> 01:07:00.804 And let them have a laugh at their passions. 01:07:01.639 --> 01:07:05.768 Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, 01:07:06.143 --> 01:07:09.396 but just the friction between their souls and the outside world. 01:07:10.856 --> 01:07:13.859 And most important, let them believe in themselves 01:07:15.027 --> 01:07:18.113 let them be helpless like children, 01:07:18.864 --> 01:07:22.701 because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. 01:07:27.623 --> 01:07:30.709 When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible, 01:07:31.544 --> 01:07:34.255 when he dies, he is hard and insensitive. 01:07:35.881 --> 01:07:38.884 When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant, 01:07:39.260 --> 01:07:43.472 but when it's dry and hard, it dies. 01:07:44.849 --> 01:07:48.894 Hardness and strength are death's companions. 01:07:50.729 --> 01:07:54.275 Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. 01:07:56.026 --> 01:08:00.322 Because what has hardened will never win. 01:08:20.551 --> 01:08:25.639 Come here! We're progressing well. 01:08:25.931 --> 01:08:28.517 Soon we'll come to a dry tunnel, after that it will get easier. 01:08:28.809 --> 01:08:30.603 Knock on wood. 01:08:30.895 --> 01:08:35.608 - Are we on our way already? - Of course. Why? 01:08:35.816 --> 01:08:40.487 I thought you just wanted to show us something. 01:08:40.946 --> 01:08:44.158 - What about my knapsack? - What about it? 01:08:44.366 --> 01:08:48.329 I left it there. I didn't know we were going. 01:08:49.038 --> 01:08:53.334 - There's nothing we can do about it. - No, we have to go back. 01:08:53.584 --> 01:08:56.212 - It's impossible! - I can't do without my knapsack! 01:08:56.420 --> 01:09:00.633 Can't you understand that no one here has ever come back the same way? 01:09:02.676 --> 01:09:06.222 Forget about your knapsack.

You might be a professor, but an ignorant one. 01:24:30.855 --> 01:24:35.192 And there was a great earthquake. 01:24:36.694 --> 01:24:39.947 And the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair. 01:24:41.031 --> 01:24:43.242 And the moon became like blood... 01:24:45.452 --> 01:24:48.747 And the stars of the sky fell to the earth, 01:24:49.290 --> 01:24:53.252 as a fig tree casts its unripe figs 01:24:53.460 --> 01:24:56.881 when shaken by a great wind. 01:24:57.965 --> 01:25:01.427 And the sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up. 01:25:02.136 --> 01:25:08.726 And every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 01:25:12.855 --> 01:25:17.484 And the kings of the earth and the great men 01:25:18.569 --> 01:25:22.531 and the rich and the chiliarchs 01:25:22.823 --> 01:25:27.995 and the strong and every free man, 01:25:28.829 --> 01:25:32.541 hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 01:25:32.833 --> 01:25:36.962 and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us 01:25:37.254 --> 01:25:41.050 and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, 01:25:41.759 --> 01:25:44.011 and from the wrath of the Lamb, 01:25:44.803 --> 01:25:48.057 for the great day of His wrath has come, 01:25:49.141 --> 01:25:52.686 and who is able to stand?“ 01:28:54.285 --> 01:28:56.245 And that very day two... 01:28:58.038 --> 01:28:59.456 two of them... 01:29:01.750 --> 01:29:05.713 were going to a village which was about 60 stadia from... 01:29:06.797 --> 01:29:08.132 named... 01:29:09.508 --> 01:29:12.761 and they were conversing with each other about all these things. 01:29:13.470 --> 01:29:16.473 And while they were conversing and discussing... 01:29:16.682 --> 01:29:20.644 He Himself approached, and began travelling with them. 01:29:21.395 --> 01:29:25.524 But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. 01:29:27.026 --> 01:29:29.069 And He said to them: “What are these words... 01:29:31.822 --> 01:29:35.409 you are exchanging with one another, and why are you sad?“ 01:29:36.160 --> 01:29:37.703 And one of them, named... 01:29:52.259 --> 01:29:53.427 Are you awake? 01:29:59.892 --> 01:30:02.019 You were speaking of the meaning... 01:30:03.604 --> 01:30:05.940 of our... life... 01:30:07.107 --> 01:30:09.068 of the unselfishness of art... 01:30:12.905 --> 01:30:14.865 Take music, for instance. 01:30:21.247 --> 01:30:24.166 Less than anything else, it is connected to reality, 01:30:25.000 --> 01:30:28.879 or if connected at all, it's done mechanically, not by way of ideas, 01:30:29.088 --> 01:30:32.883 just by a sheer sound, devoid of... any associations. 01:30:38.097 --> 01:30:43.644 And yet, music, as if by some miracle, gets through to our heart. 01:30:47.314 --> 01:30:51.277 What is it that resonates in us in response to noise brought to harmony, 01:30:52.278 --> 01:30:56.407 making it the source of the greatest delight 01:30:56.615 --> 01:30:59.285 which stuns us and brings us together? 01:31:01.036 --> 01:31:05.082 What's all this needed for? And most important, who needs it? 01:31:08.335 --> 01:31:12.131 You would say, “No one. And for no reason.“ 01:31:12.506 --> 01:31:13.716 Unselfishly. 01:31:15.551 --> 01:31:16.760 No. 01:31:18.679 --> 01:31:19.763 I don't think so. 01:31:22.349 --> 01:31:25.436 After all, everything has some sense. 01:31:27.313 --> 01:31:30.900 Sense and reason. 01:32:00.221 --> 01:32:03.599 Do we have to go there? 01:32:06.227 --> 01:32:10.272 Unfortunately, yes.
