Missions

Previously...

Here is Z Explorer One.

I promise you, we'll be first on Mars.

This night is going to be beautiful,

Mars will be at its closest to us. The little red spot there.

Stop, I said. I think I've seen someone.

- Hello, I'm back. - Fuck.

I am Vladimir Komarov.

Komarov would have been 90 years old if he would have survived.

He doesn't look it.

He's not dangerous.

Doctor Renoir, you can be really surprising when you want to.

- Why is he here ? - I think he was waiting for us.

Do you believe in miracles ?

I'm rather naturally optimistic.

- He disappeared, he's not in the lab. - Muller to the crew,

I think I know where he is.

- We're going to vote. Meyer ? - For.

You are childish.

It will lead you to nothing.

Gramat, look.

I've never seen this,

no known life form possesses such a DNA.

Simon...

he's not human.

- Commander ! - Trust me.

Do you see what I'm seeing ?

So Jeanne, do you see ?

Mars is at the rendezvous.

So what do you reckon?

This man was there before them.

He couldn't have been sent.

He had to be created on Mars.

A martian.

An alien.

Precisely, but scientifically

the only extraterrestrial life possible

it is artificial intelligence.

It is the only thing capable

of surviving the passing of time and the elements.

In the form of a human being?

So it seems.

And?

Well, it could be the solution.

If we could examine it...

- So ? - So he doesn't know how he unlocked this door,

neither why he was in front of this thing.

Nothing new.

No, he admits we're on Mars 50 years after his days,

but he can't understand it.

Well and Irène, have you made progress ?

I'll start with an evidence,

this edifice is not a natural formation.

Good analysis, Irène.

Thanks.

The stone principal's block

is hold by four Doric pillars, entirely similar

to the ones of the Segeste's temple in Sicily.

The central pattern is identical

maya bas-relief of Calakmul in Mexico.

Finally,

the aspect ratio is equal

to the eighth decimal Phi,

better known as the number for gold in ancient Greece.

Conclusion ?

Conclusion,

somebody was inspired

by our civilizations to build it ...

Or our civilisations were inspired from it.

I have the impression this travel delights you more and more.

You're starting to amortize your investment, isn't it ?

William ?

We surely discovered traces of a civilisation connected to ours,

on Mars,

but you know what is the most surprising ?

Tell me.

It's that you're not surprised.

Do you think we're going home ?

What's happening, Irène ?

I'm detecting disrupts on all of the electromagnetic spectrum.

What does it mean ?

Yes, Eva,

I think we're going home.

Goldstein, little bastard.

This is Simon Gramat in charge of Ulysse (Odysseus) mission, do you copy ?

Why aren't they answering ?

Here is Ulysse (Odysseus), do you hear me ?

I hope they didn't end like Z1.

Ulysse, here is Air Zilion 2, do you copy ?

Absolutely, Zilion 2.

Here is Gemma Williams, we are here to help you.

Gemma.

We just landed.

We're finishing the normal check and we'll come to visit you.

We didn't really have the occasion to receive

so it will be with a great pleasure.

It's been weeks we didn't get out.

We are looking forward to joining you, over.

Yes !

Don't celebrate too early.

No, but it's okay, relax, William.

They want to know what we've discovered.

Trust me if you want us to leave.

They're here to help us.

I know Goldstein,

he's a lot of things, but no Saint Bernard.

Ok, Irene, how's it coming along ?

You know very well know that I'm faster

than the spectrometer which is holding me up.

Was it me who installed the code that allows you to deceive yourself

or have you programmed it yourself?

Myself,

but I modelled myself on you in you.

Hey, be careful, or I'll give you Homer Simpson's voice.

Oh no, anything but that.

Basile, please.

Don't worry.

Oh, really, Basile, stop it.

You know I hate it.

No.

- Thanks. - May I join you ?

Oh, yeah, of course.

Well, I was working on your analysis.

I wish I was as unworried as you.

And I wish I had your hair.

It's just that

when I feel like I'm useless,

I prefer to focus on things where I know what to do.

It's already not bad.

Well, I don't know much about rocks so I'm struggling.

Wait, look, this is not normal.

The proportion of metals and minerals

is exactly the same on all the samples,

this can't be the fruit of nature.

Yet nature can do perfect things sometimes.

Really, what for instance ?

Uh, her.

Why are you coughing ? You don't even have a throat.

No throat.

I have something for you.

It's really nice but

I like my old clothes.

To be honest, we have guests.

Camouflage ?

- Precaution. - I see,

your commander is a careful man.

If you say so.

Can you turn around ?

Ah yes, forgive me.

I suppose you didn't come here

only to serve me as a designer.

What did you want us to show back there ?

I already said everything to your commander.

No, you didn't say anything.

I need to understand.

I am not telling you anything new by saying to you

that you must discover things yourself ... if you wish to understand them.

Yes,

but often time is short and understanding comes too late.

Look,

say in your right hand

you're holding

all answers to your questions about me,

and in your left hand,

all the answers

about yourself,

about Mars,

about the whole universe.

If you open your right hand,

the left hand disappears.

Then I open the left.

It would be too easy.

But there are immutable rules,

there's a choice to make

It's necessary to give up something.

To open the left,

we will have to wait a little while.

What are we waiting for ?

Whether or not you trust my judgment.

It did not always work for me.

Forget what you already know.

For the past is the past.

Vladimir, how did you know?

- What ? - About my father.

The Martian rendezvous.

Your guests won't be late.

You must be Commander Gramat.

I must be right, your uniform is really superb.

The French touch.

I am Lieutenant Colonel Edward Doisneau,

and this is Major Adam Wayne.

You can call me Eddie

or Edward or Ed.

Well, welcome aboard,

we have been eagerly awaiting your arrival.

Gemma is not with you ?

Mister Meyer,

nice to meet you.

I've heard a lot about you from Miss Williams.

Unfortunately, she had to to stay on
