and he would never have...

He was almost always

in a state of deep depression

ever since these disturbances began...

Why don't you go rest, take a bath?

Take any room

and come back in an hour.

I would like to see Gibarian -

I mean, Sartorius.

Later.

I doubt he'd see you now.

He's upstairs, in the laboratory.

Listen, Snaut,

I understand that something extraordinary

has happened and maybe...

Dr. Kelvin...

You understand...

Come back in an hour. Please.

Go and rest.

Listen, there are only three of us:

you, me and Sartorius.

You know us from our photographs.

If you see something

out of the ordinary,

something besides me and Sartorius,

try not to lose your head.

What would I see?

I don't know.

That sort of depends on you.

Hallucinations?

No. Just remember.

- Remember what?

- That we're not on Earth.

You know, it would be better if you

came back in the evening, or at night.

No, let's make it tomorrow morning.

A. GIBARIAN

HUMAN BEING:

FOR K. KELVIN

Hi, Kris.

I still have a little time left.

There are some things

I must tell you,

and some things

I must warn you about.

By now you're at the station

and know what happened to me.

If not, Snaut or Sartorius

will tell you.

What happened to me...

is not important.

Or rather, it cannot be explained.

I'm afraid that what happened to me

is only the beginning.

I wouldn't, of course,

want it to happen...

but this could happen to you

and the others.

Here, it could probably

happen to anyone.

Just don't think

that I've lost my mind.

I'm of sound mind, Kris.

Believe me.

After all, you know me.

If I have enough time,

I'll tell you why I did everything.

I'm telling you this so that,

if it does happen to you,

you'll know it's not madness.

That's the most important thing.

As for continuing research,

I'm leaning towards

Sartorius' proposal,

subjecting the Ocean's plasma

to heavy radiation.

I know it's prohibited,

but there's no other choice.

We...

You will get mired in it.

It may offer a way

of breaking this deadlock.

This is our only chance

to make contact with this monster.

There is no other choice, Kris.

lf...

Dr. Sartorius, I am Kelvin.

I arrived two hours ago.

Listen, this is ridiculous.

Either open up

or I'll break down the door.

All right, I'll open the door,

but don't come in.

I'll come out.

- Fine.

My name is Kelvin.

Go on.

You must have heard of me.

I work, or worked, with Gibarian.

Go on.

Snaut told me about Gibarian.

Then you already know the story.

Yes, it's horrible.

I don't know the details,

but he's dead.

That's not the problem.

We all die.

But he insisted on being buried on Earth.

Is space really such a bad grave for him?

But Gibarian wanted to be

in the ground, with the worms.

I wanted to disregard it,

but Snaut insisted.

- Have you ever heard of Burton?

- He was the pilot who...

Yes, he was in the search party

for Fechner.

Fechner died a magnificent death,

but Gibarian was a coward.

There's no point

talking badly of him now.

It's at least worth talking about duty.

Duty to whom?

- To truth.

- You mean to people.

You won't find truth there. Look.

Your position is absurd.

Your so-called courage is inhuman!

You hear me?

Go away.

You're too impressionable.

You must get used to everything.

Good day.

I spoke to Sartorius.

He's a rotten person.

He's a very talented scientist.

I think I'm a little sick.

There's nothing wrong with you.

You just won't take advice.

Snaut, aside from the three of us,

is there anyone else on the station?

Did you see someone?

What were you warning me about?

Whom did you see?

Was it a human being?

Is she real?

Can she be touched? Wounded?

You saw her today.

And you?

Who the hell are you?

Quiet.

- Where did she come from?

- Leave me alone.

You're afraid.

Don't worry.

I won't think you're insane.

Insane?

God, you know absolutely nothing!

Insane...

That would be a blessing.

Listen, Snaut...

It's all so senseless.

They won't understand me.

They think I've gone crazy.

Do you see, Kris,

how it's not entirely absurd?

I have to do this because

I'm afraid they'll come in here.

I mean Snaut and Sartorius.

They themselves don't understand

what they're doing.

I'm afraid, Kris...

I can't...

Nobody will be able to understand.

Open up! You hear, Gibarian?

Open up!

Don't be stupid.

It'sjust us-Snaut and Sartorius.

We want to help you.

They want to help me.

Just a second. Quit knocking.

I am my own judge.

Have you seen her?

Kris, understand that

this is not madness.

It has something to do

with conscience.

I really wanted you

to get here in time, Kris.

Where did you?

It's so nice.

But... but it's not...

How did you know where I?

What do you mean, "how"?

Don't, Kris. That tickles.

Where are my shoes?

- Shoes?

No. They're not there.

Who's this?

Kris...

it's me.

You know...

I have the feeling...

as if I've forgotten something.

I can't understand it.

Do you love me?

Don't be silly, Hari.

As if you didn't know.

I'm going out for a moment.

Wait for me, okay?

- I'll go with you.

- No, Hari. I'll be back soon.

No.

What's with you? Why?

I don't know. I can't.

You can't what?

It feels like I...

I have to see you... all the time.

What are you, a child?

I have work to do, Hari.

I'm behaving foolishly.

And so are you.

Running around all disheveled,

like Snaut.

- Like who?

- Like Snaut.

Listen, how do you...

Well, I have to go.

If you want, we can go together.

But you won't be able to get

into a suit with your dress on.

Get undressed.

Kris, help me. I can't undo it.

Why are you looking at me like that?

SOLARIS:

Part Two

Get in.

- What about you?

- I'm right behind you.

I have to shut the hatch.

Is everything all right?

Are you comfortable?

Yes. Hurry, Kris.

You could at least knock.

It sounded

like you were talking to someone.

All the more reason.

So you had guests?

Well, I see you took

good care of them.

It's nothing.

You won't die from it.

Did you at least start out modestly?

Narcotics, poisons, barbiturates, eh?

If you plan to clown around,

you might as well leave.

Sometimes you become a clown

without wanting to.

Don't tell me you haven't tried

a rope or a hammer.

Did you happen to throw

the inkwell like Luther? No?

So,

one, two, and into the rocket,

and that was that.

Next time, don't panic.

And push the button from the corridor.

You could get burned.

- What was that?

- I don't know.

Then again, we've managed

to determine a few things.

Who was it?

She died 10 years ago.

What you saw was the materialization

of your conception of her.

What was her name?

- Hari.

Everything began after we started

experimenting with radiation.

We hit the Ocean's surface

with strong X-ray beams.

But it...

Incidentally, consider yourself lucky.

After all, she's a part of your past.

What if it had been something

you had never seen before,

but something you had thought

or imagined?
