Quantum Utopia

INT. EARTH - MANSION - DAY
GOVERNOR BILL STALWARD(60) enters the house of his friend, MOGUL RONALD MOCKSELLER(75). They hug.
BILL
I haven’t seen you for ages Ronnie.
Ronald
I’m glad to see you too Bill.
BILL
Let’s get down to business…
Ronald nods and points the way to the veranda for his guest.
VERANDA WITH SEA VIEW
Ronald comes up to the table with a decanter and glasses.
BILL
The problem is that I don’t want to be a character in someone's stupid game. Of course, there are fools spending plenty of time, wasting their lives to enrich the developers of those games for the dubious pleasure. But to turn the whole world into it!
RONALD
I agree with you. Being the master of your own destiny is more exciting than any game.
BILL
You invested in me, and I turned a profit. I succeeded in the political field and made a fortune. And I am worth it.
Friends chuckle, sit down at the table. Ronald pours whiskey.
BILL
So now we may lose everything because of this, what’s its name, the Quantum Neuronet. But it’s not the main problem. The most important is that we have no choice and will have no election any more. And no matter what kind of election it was. Now the machine is the boss.
RONALD
(in anger)
What is the world coming to?
BILL
In these troubled times I have business proposal for you.
RONALD
Yes…
BILL
I'm going to lead the opposition and use all my resources to fight our enemy before it’s too late! Are you with us?
RONALD
Of course, my friend. I always knew you had balls of steel. War contributions yield high dividends. So let us drink to our victory!
They raise their glasses.
BILL
To victory!
EXT. EARTH - DAY
Factories produce large amount of smoke. Cars are stuck in traffic. People walk in respirators, gas masks with oxygen tanks. The concrete jungle of skyscrapers is in smog. Natural disasters. Desperate people are poisoned and angry. There are demonstrations outside. Mass riots are everywhere. Bums and beggars hang around the streets.
EXT. EARTH - CITY - DAY
A truck blows smoke. A man stands behind the car in the cloud of smoke. He breathes in.
INT. MAN’S ORGANISM
Carcinogenic compounds penetrate through the lungs into the bloodstream and stay in the organs and the brain.
INT. EARTH - HOSPITAL - DAY
The hospital is full of dying and seriously ill people.
PSYCHOTHERAPIST’S CABINET
A therapist writes a prescription. A patient is sitting in front of the doctor. It is written “Xanax” in the prescription.
INT. BAR - NIGHT
A sad woman is drinking alcohol. Breaking news is on TV.
ON TV
NEWS ANNOUNCER
The scientific world has made a breakthrough. The Superintelligence based on the quantum computer is invented! Something incredible is happening in the world! Mankind is united into one organism. It’s a new type of social network which solves the pressing problems by popular vote instead of selling advertising space.
People stand near the White House. The crowd is chanting, "All power to the Quantum Neuronet! (QNN) Down with politicians! Down with oligarchs! Off with wage slavery! Stop the war!"
INT. EARTH - THE CABINET OF MINISTERS
Bill and other politicians discuss their resignation.
BILL
I don’t care about the public opinion. It is wrong. The majority is always wrong. People can believe any bullshit. But we do understand that the quantum intelligence is our enemy. The machine with the monopoly on power can’t be our friend, and sooner or later…
POLITICIAN1
But all the nations have already voted for it, and we are deprived of power. We can only see what’s gonna happen next.
BILL
We have to prepare, until we become puppets in its game.
POLITICIAN2
But the position of backward aborigines…
BILL
Exactly! That’s why we should fight with it together. I got in touch with our concerned colleagues in Europe, Asia, Africa.
(MORE)
BILL (CONT'D)
In the face of our common enemy, we create a coalition. And we’ll do our best to limit the power of the electronic brain, to provide the necessary counterweight to it.
NAT. EARTH - ASIA - MILITARY BASE - DAY
The column of trucks is driving on the dusty road. The military base is in the middle of the desert. There are several launching silos in the center of the base. A missile is being set into one of the silos.
The higher command leadership represented by GENERAL FRONT(55) drives up in the jeep to the construction manager, MAJOR VIRUS(47).
GENERAL FRONT
Have all the charges been set to the missiles?
MAJOR VIRUS
Yes, sir. I mean no, sir. The cargo is still on the way.
GENERAL FRONT
Do not procrastinate. I hope you’re not gonna have problems with that?
MAJOR VIRUS
Sir! No, sir! Everything's under control. The missiles will be locked and loaded for tomorrow.
INT. EARTH - DEBATE IN CONGRESS ON TV
SENATOR
What place can the politicians and many other unclaimed experts have nowadays?
BILL
Personally, I remain a politician. It is my calling. I'm going to continue my work.
POLITICION1
Planned economy, the number of goods is calculated and produced on request. The Quantum Neuronet deals with all the issues through the voting of the whole world.
(MORE)


POLITICION1 (CONT'D)
Countries are united against the common trouble - environmental disaster. There is also no foreign policy to…
BILL
(interrupting)
I consider the fact that all power is entrusted to the machine to be much more catastrophic. Dictatorship against human nature may be more dangerous than pollution.
POLITICION1
Mister Stalward you actually behave like a dictator! Nobody elected you to a new term.
BILL
The election system is destroyed. How dare you call me a dictator?! I act in accordance with the situation in these troubled times. In order to preserve the identity and traditions, which do not cause any harm to the environment, by the way, we must stay human and solve our problems on our own instead of turning into cogs in the machine, no matter how perfect this system may seem. Competitive pressures are necessary for our life…
SENATOR
But man is socially protected. There are no homeless and hungry people any more. All sick people get medical treatment. The nature is getting cleaner. Isn’t that a dream of mankind - real socialism, utopia.
BILL
Idolizing and obeying the machine, imitating its rational thinking we condemn ourselves to degradation and imminent turning people into robots. Utopia is a pipe dream. It can come true only in someone’s sick imagination or a fantastic movie.
POLITICION2
The Quantum Superintelligence is not a power-hungry man.
(MORE)
POLITICION2 (CONT'D)
It is an innovator. Thereby anarchy becomes possible. People don’t depend on money and don't submit to each other. Everything is done for the benefit of man and nature.
BILL
Government is necessary for people until everyone is responsible for their own decisions.
(to the audience)
Wake up slackers! You think a mechanical god is the right leader?
POLITICION1
Mr. Stalward you either live in some parallel reality and do not understand to what extent the progress has accelerated or bluffing.
BILL
On the contrary, I am well aware of what world we live in and what to expect. We have to act immediately!
INT. EARTH - LAB - DAY
PROFESSOR BERG SHREDDER(65) types on the computer. Shredder is shocked by what is happening with the network on the screen.
SHREDDER
Unbelievable!
Information on the screen is being systematized. A computer code appears on the screen. It’s being scrolled by itself. Windows are being opened and closed by themselves too.
SHREDDER
The speed of its evolution is terribly high…
Someone calls. Professor takes the call. A military man appears on the screen.
MAJOR VIRUS
Good afternoon Professor Shredder.
SHREDDER
Who are you? And what do you need?
MAJOR VIRUS
I know that you have participated in the development of the QNN and the weapon against this…
Shredder is going to turn off the connection. The military man notices it and looks in the direction of his hand.
MAJOR VIRUS
I wouldn’t do it so that we don’t have to meet in person. I have a few technical issues to you. We didn’t receive the instructions for installing the virus databases against the Quantum Neuronet to the missiles…
SHREDDER
I’m not involved in this any longer. It’s an unfinished project.
MAJOR VIRUS
Sorry, there is your name in the Head of developers column of the accompanying documents.
SHREDDER
I have no idea how and what you are going to set there. Address the technical staff, engineers.
MAJOR VIRUS
(with a silly smile)
Thank you, Professor.
(disconnects)
Shredder is trying to trace the call and discovers a military base in Asia.
SHREDDER
The conflict with the Neuronet is inevitable…
INT. EARTH - MAJOR VIRUS’S TENT - DAY
The major is digging through the folder.
MAJOR VIRUS
What the hell is this scientist doing here if he is not involved? Fucking bureaucrats.
SERGEANT MAX SKILL(30) enters the tent.
MAX
Permission to speak, sir?
MAJOR VIRUS
Report.

MAX
The charges are installed and put on alert.
MAJOR VIRUS
How?! How did you manage to do it? I don’t understand, better see it myself…
INT. EARTH - MISSILE SILOS - CONTINUOUS
MAX
(points at the warhead)
We’ve inserted the device into the socket. The detector is on. Now it is connected with the control center.
(points at the control center)
The charge can be activated remotely, or the activation will happen by achieving the target.
Major virus stands with his mouth open.
MAJOR VIRUS
Good work, son. How about the rest of the missiles?
MAX
Everything is ready.
MAJOR VIRUS
You must have graduated from the Radio Engineering University or something?
MAX
No, sir. It's easy as pie, no more difficult than plugging in a toaster.
Major Virus looks at Max arrogantly.
MAJOR VIRUS
(to himself)
I wanted to award you smartass, but if it’s so easy then screw you.
INT. EARTH - PRESS CONFERENCE ROOM - LATER
Bill makes video calls to ex-heads of State, politicians all over the world.

BILL
Gentlemen, I am not sure whether our enemy doesn’t bug us. Although the channels are encrypted by our best specialists. Anyway it doesn't matter now. We managed to develop a weapon against the QNN and to bring it to a state of alert. We are not helpless lab rats any more.
EX-HEAD OF STATE1
What are you… we going to do next?
BILL
Now we are going to dictate our terms, return the natural power of men over men…
EX-HEAD OF STATE2
But the society has changed dramatically, the system collapsed, anarchy is around us!
BILL
The QNN has made it. So we'll make it bring the old system back and serve the humanity as it should.
EX-HEAD OF STATE1
I don't quite understand how it works, the weapon we are going to use to control the QNN…

Title:
FIVE YEARS LATER
EXT. EARTH - CROSSROADS NEAR THE PARK - DAY
TEACHER OF ART MIA(28) with a cloth backpack on her shoulder crosses the road. A DRUNK DRIVER hits the woman with his car at high speed. Mia falls to the pavement. A small crumpled clay sculpture of a girl falls out of the backpack and lies beside her. The drunk driver doesn’t stop. Mia groans and reaches for the crumpled figure.
MIA
My sculpture!
Passers-by run up to her. One of them steps on the sculpture accidentally. Mia loses consciousness.
PASSER-BY1
Call 911!
PASSER-BY2
(points at the car)
Police! Stop him!
Someone shoots video with his smartphone.
EXT. EARTH - PARK - DAY
SOCIOLOGY TEACHER KIRA(27) and SCIENTIST VICTOR(33) go through the park in overalls holding hands. They pass by a pair of cooing pigeons on the curb.
A group of workers plant trees.
A former politician, Bill Stalward now works as a janitor. He fiercely and diligently sweeps the street with a frozen grimace of displeasure on his face. He doesn’t notice that trash flies at Kira’s and Victor’s feet and scares the pigeons.
KIRA
Hey, mister be careful!
Bill mutters angrily to himself without looking up.
BILL
No one to sweep the dirty thoughts…
Kira bounces off the broom close to Victor, they pass by.
VICTOR
This is Bill Stalward!
KIRA
Who?
VICTOR
The politician, who led the opposition to the Quantum Neuronet. Don’t you remember?
KIRA
(laughs)
Oh, now he's obviously not in opposition.
VICTOR
Well, I feel a little bit sorry for him. He longed for the political competition with the Neuronet.
KIRA
How can you feel sorry for him? All politicians are the same. All they wanted was power and money. But now we have none of them.
(MORE)
KIRA (CONT'D)
The world has changed. But there is still place for politicians’ talents.
Kira chuckles.
VICTOR
Ah, come on, stop scoffing at him. He is just a man. Aren’t you afraid of so rapid change? Didn’t you think what it might lead to?
KIRA
Are you kidding me? I am so glad that we finally got out of that shithole. And such people like Bill Stalward are the reason why mankind got into it. Just relax and enjoy. In my opinion, this pace of development is quite natural. After all, we just catch up on lost time and create a totally new world. And all this is thanks to the Neuronet.
VICTOR
It's a shame however that we humans haven’t coped with the creation of this new world by ourselves, you know.
KIRA
Victor you as a scientist and a neuronet programmer should understand that man is too weak to rule the world but quite inventive to create an efficient assistant.
Victor pulls a face and imitates Kira.
VICTOR
You as a scientist and a neuronet programmer…
Kira laughs and beats Victor's shoulder with her palm.
KIRA
You are so childish. Here, you better work for the benefit of society.
Kira throws Victor a shovel. They start to work.
EXT. EARTH - CROSSROADS NEAR THE PARK - AT THE SAME TIME
Health workers put Mia on a stretcher and carry her into the ambulance car.
EXT. EARTH - PARK - A LITTLE LATER
Kira and Victor notice the conflict on the road. A trolley blocks the car’s path. Someone throws a trashcan to the car. The driver loses control of his car. A group of citizens crowd around the car. Trolley buses and trams form a traffic jam. The drunk driver is pulled out of the car. He falls to the ground.
CITIZEN
Go and take the trolley like everyone else!
(pointing at the trolley)
The driver gets off the ground, pushes active citizens.
DRIVER
(with a drunk voice)
Stand back, I'm in a hurry.
Citizens put him down with his face on the pavement, knock out the car windows and pierce the tire.
ONE OF THE PARK WORKERS
Some drunk moonshiner rides his rattletrap again.
Kira takes a shovel and swings it.
KIRA
I'm going to join the citizens.
VICTOR
I’m sure they can handle it without you.
The police on the electric vehicle drives up to the crowd. Police officers arrest the driver. The crowd turns the car upside down and pushes it to the pavement. Trolley buses go further. The ambulance passes by…
Victor drives a shovel into the ground with his foot.
VICTOR
Let’s go to dismantling of skyscrapers next week. I’m tired of digging around in the ground.
KIRA
With you I’m ready to go to the end of the world.
Victor and Kira gently kiss.

EXT. UTOPIA - SPACE
A small spaceship looking like a classic UFO with a transparent dome flies to the power satellite. The satellite consists of a solar battery, service cell and the barrel “shooting” with a laser light.
INT. UFO-SHIP
STUDENT ALFRED(21) and his friend BILL STALWARD’S SON STAN(22) sit in the UFO-ship. Alfred has a pin with a symbol of anarchy on his chest. The UFO-ship docks with the lock chamber on the satellite. Stan pushes the wrong button and the dome of their ship begins to open. The wind whistles in the cabin. Alfred presses the right buttons.
ALFRED
(pointing to the button)
Here's the button for locking!
(pointing to another one)
And this one opens the top… Got it?
Stan is frightened, but he smiles, slaps his breast pockets and pulls out a vaporizer.
STAN
Wow, almost washed away into the stratosphere! Awesome!
INT. UTOPIA - POWER SATELLITE - CONTINUOUS
Stan with a mask on his face flies forward, pulls out of the mouth a gum and sticks it to the video camera. He takes off his mask and puffs his joint.
ALFRED
Don’t smoke here!
STAN
It’s better to be high than foolish.
ALFRED
What does that mean?
STAN
Well, you elect politicians who get in your head. And I don’t care about it, because I'm closer to the nature.
Alfred breaks out the cover on the remote and connects his device with the notebook to the satellite.

ALFRED
OK, my delusion is mine. And your brain is absorbed with the drugs and soon you yourself will turn into the weed.
Alfred types something on the laptop.
ALFRED
Done, now it's ours. We gotta get out of here…
ALFRED
(whispering)
What for?!
STAN
What is going to happen now?
ALFRED
Let’s go!
They push against everything they can reach and move from the satellite to their ship. In a hurry they try to fly away before undocking. The transfer of solar-gravitational energy to Earth by means of the laser beam starts at this time…
EXT. UTOPIA - NEAR KIRA’S HOUSE - DAY
The foodstuff delivery airtruck flies up to the house. The DOMESTIC ANDROID WILLY takes the container out of the car and carries it into the house.
INT. UTOPIA - KIRA’S HOUSE - DAY
Kira finishes meditating in the lotus position and opens her eyes. Willy comes to the yoga mat.
WILLY
How are you feeling? Would you like a cup of coffee?


KIRA
Yes, thank you Willy… I can’t focus on nirvana and fall asleep all the time. I had a dream that I was in love with a handsome man, and he was a scientist. You know, some dreams are like movies…
WILLY
(moving away to the kitchen)
You can try yourself as a writer of the blockbuster.
KIRA
I planted trees, and then we were going to go somewhere else in that dream. Oh, it’s definitely not a blockbuster. Besides, I have already forgotten the rest of the dream
(turns on the holo-TV with the voice command)
TV, what’s the news?
A hologram appears in the middle of the room, it’s a huge floor-to-ceiling cube.
ON HOLO-TV
A damaged power plant is in the cloud of steam. Robots and humans make repairs. A dense laser beam from the sky heats a closed tank with liquid.
REPORTER
We are reporting live from the scene of the accident. The turbines of the laser power station went out of order due to malfunction in the navigation of the laser beam. Luckily the control system and emergency services responded immediately. There are no problems with power supply now…
KIRA’S HOUSE
Kira goes along the 3-D screen to the long kitchen table, where Willy serves coffee.
ON HOLO-TV
Advertisement is on the screen: the space ark is landing.
ANNOUNCER (V.O.)
Do not miss our show with exotic animals you’ve never seen before.
(MORE)
ANNOUNCER (CONT'D)
They came from the nearest star systems of the galaxy Milky Way.
Kitchen
KIRA
When will we discover intelligent life on other planets?
WILLY
Yes, it would be interesting to communicate with extraterrestrial beings.
ON HOLO-TV
The animals come down the ramp to the enclosures under robots control. There are large insects, blue four-armed apes, animals looking like dinosaurs with bright feathers, a group of funny animals looking like ferrets among them.
EXT. UTOPIA - STREET - DAY
Kira takes a taxi.
We see a hi-tech, completely robotic developed world. The system is in accurate interaction as a healthy organism.
Diverse transport moves on electricity. The automated transport system controls the traffic movement. There are no paved roads or railroads as vehicles move through the air. Instead of asphalt and concrete there are trees and grass. A clean green world surrounds us. There are forests, fields, rivers and lakes in it. From time to time laser beams with concentrated energy fall from the sky to the power plants. All houses have one or two floors. There are no shops. Manufacturing and agriculture are automated. Robots take goods from warehouses and deliver orders on airtrucks.
Stadiums and meadows are full of entertaining children and adults. People surf the global quantum network, play sports, walk, sleep in the open air…
Everywhere is a happy utopian atmosphere.
EXT. UTOPIA - QNN MODULE - DAY
There are modules of the Quantum Neuronet under transparent domes. Photons gather in diamond crystals of the modules. Rainbows play over the domes. Students, a GUY and a GIRL go by the dome.


GUY
They say that the Quantum Neuronet feels life directly without intermediary of hydrocarbonic life, nerves. Light photons in a diamond trap…
GIRL
I doubt that direct thoughts without feelings can be called life…
GUY
You don’t understand! The world is the idea, and life is only a part of its expression.
Kira passes by in a taxi. The students recognize her and wave their hands.
EXT. UTOPIA - FOREST NEAR THE UNIVERSITY - DAY
The UFO-ship lands not far from the university in the forest. There are a lot of animals in the forest. Bears hide in a thicket. Birds fly apart. Alfred and Stan get out of the ship. Snakes crawl in different directions. Alfred turns on the camouflage mode of the ship. Light synthetic fabric of khaki color covers the ship.
ALFRED
Stan hurry up. We’re gonna be late.
STAN
Yeah, but I’m starving. I gotta go to the cafe first.
ALFRED
You’ll be late for sure, lamer.
Stan waves away.
STAN
I don’t care.
UNIVERSITY COURT
Alfred runs across the lawn, jumps over the bushes, straightens clothes, tries to button the cuff. He finds out that there is no button and unbuttons the other one.
INT. CORRIDOR AT THE UNIVERSITY
Alfred rushes into the university, runs along the corridor. Kira and Mia talk and laugh standing near the open door of the classroom. Alfred drops into a walk, does up his hair, passes them by.
KIRA
(to Mia)
Let's go to the zoo tomorrow. Have you seen the advertisement?
MIA
You mean the animals from other planets?
KIRA
(to Alfred)
Good afternoon, Alfred.
Alfred nods.
ALFRED
Hello.
Alfred goes into the classroom.
KIRA
(to Mia)
From other star systems!
MIA
Yeah, I’ve seen. I’m sure to go.
KIRA
Excellent. Okay, it's time to begin the lecture.
EXT. MOON
The cities are under the domes connected by tunnels.
The environment on the moon is similar to the province of Russia, Kazakhstan or Africa of the 1990s. There is smog under the domes smudged with soot. The lighting is always artificial. Dusty roads are rolled on lunar soil covered with dog shit and garbage. The traffic is slow. Jalopies are parked on the roadside. Drug dealers, drunkards, bums and prostitutes walk along the streets with alcohol stores on every corner.
EXT. MOON - OUTSIDE/INT. MULTI-STORY BUILDING - DAY
LAB ASSISTANT SASHA(20) walks out of the entrance, goes to the car. Her neighbor looks out of the balcony and disappears. Sasha looks into her bag, claps herself on pockets and goes back. She enters the elevator. A torn flyer, the invitation to the election of the president of the Moon lies on the floor of the elevator. There are ads all over the dirty walls of the elevator. Buttons are burned. Sasha presses the button of her floor with her key. The doors of the elevator close. The elevator doesn't move.
She kicks the elevator’s doors and presses the button once again with effort. The elevator moves upwards with a gnash.
APARTMENT
Sasha enters the apartment and hears rustle in the kitchen. She pulls out a shocker from the bag and quietly sneaks along the corridor. The drunk neighbor clumsily moves upstairs from the kitchen to the balcony. He carries a bag with the loot.
SASHA
Stop, thief!
Sasha paralyzes him with a shocker on the emergency stairs. The neighbor falls onto the balcony. Sasha takes the bag, pulls sugar, bread and other food out of the bag. The neighbor regains consciousness.
NEIGHBOR
Come on Sasha. I just wanted to borrow some sugar for making moonshine…
SASHA
Get the hell out of here or I’ll call the cops, you fucking drunk.
The neighbor climbs the stairs.
NEIGHBOR
How about loaning me a couple of credits?
Sasha aims her shocker at him. The neighbor rushes upwards.
SASHA
If when I come home I find out that something is gone I’ll tell the police about you!
Sasha closes the balcony door, picks up the car keys from the table and runs away.
EXT. MOON - STALWARD TOWER - DAY
A skyscraper labeled “Stalward Tower” stands high above the city almost touching the dome.
INT. MOON - BILL’S OFFICE - DAY
On the most top floor there is Bill Stalward's office. Bill stands by the window and looks at the city. He sees the stadium in the distance where the Olympic Games take place. Ronald sits on the leather sofa with a whiskey glass in his hand.
BILL
(looking at Earth)
Our opposition gains strength. We triumph not only here, on the Moon. Soon we will have enough power to occupy Earth and to release mankind from the Neuronet’s clutches.
RONALD
It is surprising how progress accelerated thanks to this quantum brain. Sometimes I don’t understand why we fight against it…
BILL
(turns to Ronald)
You should drink less! People are coddled by robots and became like pets. Have you heard of quantum meditation?
RONALD
Something to do with biohacking, self improving from within?
BILL
It is a typical brainwashing. A crazy machine governs people and turns them into… into… I don’t even know into what, but they will obviously stop being people. Maybe they all become robots or something like ants with collective intelligence. They will think that they crawl where they want, but no, they run on the specified paths, being consistent with plans of their "god".
RONALD
I hear medicine on Earth has made a breakthrough and won the old age. Now it is not necessarily to die there.
BILL
The QNN acts gradually, and humanity will not notice how it sinks into oblivion. You think they’ll leave us alone here on the Moon? No, we are next. But these brainwashing techniques do not work on us. The best defense is a preemptive strike…
The feeble old man on the sofa takes a sip of whiskey.

RONALD
(moaning)
I don’t want to die, and agree to brainwashing to restore youth. I’m not sure whether it’s true, but this technology can be useful for us just in case.
BILL
Of course, it is a typical propaganda. The quantum monster is always making up stories to distract and entertain people, rather than to allow people to be independent… But you're right. I'll arrange to bring one of those cured from old age so that our scientists could expose the trick. I’m gonna arrange it right now. Even my useless son can handle the slaves of the quantum mind.
Bill makes a call.
RONALD
(sighs)
It’s a weight off my mind. I feel like I can die at any moment and I will not see the victory of humanity over the machines.
BILL
(on the phone)
Stan, I have a job for you. Find a man who was cured of incurable aging. We need him for research.
STAN (V.O.)
You mean walking dead or something?!
BILL
Dead? What’re you nuts? I said, a healthy immortal being.
STAN (V.O.)
(tentatively)
It will be done, dad.
Bill hangs up.
BILL
I’m gonna show them that I’m not a lame duck! I’ve built this tower. It’s a symbol of my strength and it will bring us good luck and victory. You’ll see.
INT. UTOPIA - CLASSROOM - DAY
The classroom is like a cinema hall. Kira goes and stands in the pulpit. There is a huge screen behind her. Students sit in chairs without desks in several semicircle rows in front of her. Students stop talking and get ready to listen.
KIRA
Several years ago mankind has won a victory in a global war against itself. We would destroy the world for the sake of profit, power and sovereignty of certain countries. People polluted the environment. Thereby they also adversely affected their own inner world, suffered from oncological diseases and mental disorders, tried to offset damage to health by money, power, drugs, that led to further deterioration of the ecological situation. The vicious circle was formed. And mankind couldn't get out of it. The only possible final of this exacerbated situation was inevitable death of all mankind. But we were saved by technical break - the invention of the Quantum Neuronet…
Alfred raises his hand, takes advantage of the pause and brazenly interrupts the lecture.
ALFRED
You mean the fact that we have no free market relations and competition in politics is normal? Of course, I thank the Super-intelligence for improving the ecological situation in the world. But what does the society have to do with it? We ourselves should be responsible for our politics. Otherwise we will turn into controllable zombies.
KIRA
(with a smile)
On the contrary, it’s the world of anarchy. Everyone has the right to vote and influence the society and their own life without mediators.
Stan enters the classroom and sits down next to Alfred.


KIRA
Politics has already shown the weakness of man in solving large-scale problems. One economic crisis was followed by another, wars started everywhere, and people just went crazy. Life is a complex and interesting puzzle. All that politics and economy succeeded in was creation of unnecessary problems distracting us from the most important - the nature of life. Garbage dumps grew as well as social inequality. People hid from the nature so deep that have lost touch with it.
ALFRED
You may have remained in the past with your bright beliefs where the quantum brain had saved the world. But the situation is changing. Do you know that there is the real opposition on the Moon where people have election and the right to self-determination?
KIRA
I suppose it’s a band of renegades, who looks for a reason to disagree with something that works better than they can imagine.
Alfred nods and grins.
ALFRED
By the way, my grandfather Professor Berg Shredder was one of the developers of the Quantum Neuronet. And even he believes that people's rights are slightly violated.
KIRA
With all respect for Professor Shredder, “errare humanum est” (lat.). Let's stop this meaningless dispute and get back to the lecture. So, take a look at the screen.
The lecture is accompanied by video on the screen: Earth is covered with modules of the Quantum Neuronet which controls the traffic movement, agriculture, etc…


KIRA
The Quantum Neuronet has united all the nations on the earth. And it helped to accelerate progress significantly…
Stan and Alfred start whispering.
INT. MOON - LABORATORY - AT THE SAME TIME
Bill solemnly enters the lab. Victor bent over hologram calculates something.
BILL
Is it possible in our laboratory to study the issue of so-called aging treatment, to make pills or something?
VICTOR
I’ve heard about the treatment of old age on Earth. Theoretically it is possible to reprogram the human genome through the brain.
BILL
What?
VICTOR
If man could control and change his internal processes, influence the genome bypassing evolution…
BILL
(interrupting)
So, what do we need to get the result?
VICTOR
We need a man cured of aging for research.
BILL
I have already arranged it. Soon he’ll be here. Anything else?
VICTOR
We'll see.
Bill goes to the door.
BILL
(mutters to himself)
Scientists… are always talking something gibberish.
Bill opens the door and faces the lab assistant Sasha.
BILL
Hello.
Bill sheepishly smiles and gives way to the lab assistant. Sasha nods in greeting, enters the lab, closing the door.
SASHA
Hello, Victor. Sorry, I’m late…
INT. UTOPIA - CONSULATE OF THE MOON - DAY
JOHN, an elderly man sits at the table with the CONSUL. A plate "Consul LARRY BUSH" is on the table. The Moon news channel “Moonday” shoots their dialogue.
JOHN
I don’t want to stay on Earth. I feel like a machine in this environment. No one has a personal transport here.
LARRY BUSH
The Moon keeps the traditions of healthy society. So welcome! Our doors are always open for all people. New settlers will get an apartment and a car for free.
JOHN
Is it difficult to do the paperwork and get a visa?
LARRY BUSH
Not at all. You should only order a biometric passport of the Moon, and you are free to fly to the Moon.
John smiles.
INT. UTOPIA - POLICE STATION - DAY
POLICE CHIEF ADRIAN MCPOINT(55) gives a folder to Max.
ADRIAN
An accident happened on the power satellite. According to my information it is impossible that the laser beam can miss. It is obvious that intervention from the outside took place. So we are dealing with a potential act of terrorism.
MAX
How come we have terrorists?
ADRIAN
I am sure, that people on the Moon, those goddamned lunatics abuse free will. No one else to do it. Such mad wreckers should be deported in prisons, but not be fed up on the Moon! You are the former military. That's a big deal. Take care of this.
MAX
Yes, sir!
ADRIAN
By golly, those people became so impudent just like children. They went rotten, spoiled wastrels, drug addicts. I hope they won’t go totally nuts.
EXT. UTOPIA - POWER PLANT - LATER
Max and two robots-assistants arrive at the power plant. He orders the robots to wait for him by the car. He goes to the man in the white helmet.
MAX
Good day. Police Sergeant Max Skill.
GEORGE THOMAS, THE STATIONMASTER shakes hands with Max.
GEORGE
George Thomas… They’ve been calling me all day long and asking about the accident. The laser as a weapon is life-threatening, and we don't know why it has happened.
MAX
Lethal weapon is prohibited, it's the law. Could the accident have happened because of the staff, due to weather conditions or something?
GEORGE
In no way. The system operates on a two-way authentication. When the laser transmits thermal energy to the heating element under the tank with circulating fluid it receives the return signal. Thus, the laser beam can not miss, it just cuts the power.
MAX
But it still has happened.
GEORGE
Not really.
MAX
What do you mean?
George comes up to the edge of the platform.
GEORGE
See that below? The laser’s mark moved back and forth to the sides forming uneven zigzag. This could happen only for one reason. If someone during transmission shook the power satellite.
George points his finger at the sky making a zigzag movement.
MAX
How about the mutual authentication? Shouldn’t it have cut the power when missing the target?
GEORGE
Yes and no. It cut the power. But it was jolted badly, and the system did not have time to respond, or responded incorrectly. An extraordinary situation, force majeure…
MAX
(chuckling)
So the satellite was jolted on magnetic and gravitational waves or on a rainbow…
GEORGE
As for the atmosphere above, there is always eternal calm and the clear sky, and power satellites are equipped with stabilizers.
MAX
Thank you. I’m gonna inspect the satellite and try not to shake it.
INT. UTOPIA - CLASSROOM - DAY
Mia stands in the center of the classroom next to the sculpture of white marble. The sculpture of a naked girl is a little higher than Mia. Students sit in a semicircle, listen, make sketches.

MIA
Art is beyond time and space. A man being created, alas, is not eternal even nowadays. Involvement in art, imagination makes us something bigger than we are, makes us creators. We become free from ourselves, from the awareness of frailty. In these moments of creation of beauty we find our true freedom of will. This is why art is so important. It leads to self-improvement, reveals our creativity. Look at the beauty of these lines.
(showing on the sculpture)
No robot is able to create such a thing! A robot can only repeat or copy.
STUDENT1
Step aside, she needs air.
STUDENT2
I’ll go for help.
Student2 runs out of the classroom. Student3 is on the phone. Student1 takes off his jacket, twists it and puts it under Mia’s head.
STUDENT1
Everything’s gonna be alright. Help is on the way.
Mia has a confused look. Student4 brings a glass of water. Pale Mia turns her head away.
MIA
No, thank you. I don’t understand…
Mia looks at the sculpture and closes her eyes.
INT. UTOPIA - CORRIDOR AT THE UNIVERSITY - CONTINUOUS
Kira hears the noise and comes out of the classroom. Health workers carry Mia on a stretcher.
KIRA
Mia! What happened?
NURSE
We’ll find it out at the hospital.
Kira looks at students for an explanation.
STUDENTS
(interrupting each other)
Suddenly she felt bad… heart attack may be…
Kira joins them and goes to the exit.
EXT. UTOPIA - UNIVERSITY YARD
Alfred and Stan are sitting on the lawn in the courtyard of the university.
ALFRED
So our boss needs an immortal?
STAN
Yeah. I have no idea where to look for him? Shall we go to the cemetery to resurrect the dead?
ALFRED
What’re you nuts?
STAN
Don’t worry, I'm gonna smoke some pot, and the idea will pop into my head.
Stan pulls a jamb from his pocket. Alfred covers the jamb with his hand and looks around.
ALFRED
Are you crazy! We're not on the Moon.
Alfred notices the crowd near the entrance to the university and the ambulance aircar. Alfred and Stan run over there.
Mia in a semi-conscious state is carried on a stretcher.  Kira stands near her with a worried look.
STAN
It’s the teacher of art. Must be something serious.
ALFRED
(to himself)
That’s a good idea. We gotta go to the hospital.
STAN
You want to look for an immortal in the morgue?
Alfred looks at Stan as at a complete idiot.
Mia is carried into the car. Kira takes a taxi and goes after the ambulance aircar.
EXT. UTOPIA - POWER SATELLITE - AT THE SAME TIME
The police spaceship flies to the power satellite. It docks and locks with the satellite. Max and several robots wearing boots with magnetic soles come inside. The traces of break, the broken lid are seen on the dashboard.
MAX
Someone tore this thing apart.
ROBOT1
There are traces of DNA. Search… There is no match in the database. This organism is not from Earth, but it’s a human DNA.
MAX
Lunatics…
Max leans to the floor and picks up a button.
MAX
And here's a needle in a haystack. What about the video surveillance?
ROBOT2
The lens is smeared with a gum. The chewing gum contains traces of tetrahydrocannabinol…
MAX
What?
ROBOT2
Marijuana, weed, ganja, pot… The criminal takes drugs…
MAX
Why am I not surprised. It is always like this with perpetrators.
ROBOT2
Here what the camera had recorded before the lens was smeared.
Robot2 plugged his finger into the panel under the camera. A hologram appears in the air.
THE HOLOGRAM
A masked man approaches the camcorder gets gum out of his mouth. There is another guy in the airlock behind him…
POWER SATELLITE
MAX
It doesn’t look like hooliganism. What did these assholes look for here?
INT. MOON - LABORATORY - DAY
Victor continues his research. A hologram of neural activity of the brain is in front of him on the table. Victor has a scanner of this activity on his head. Sasha enters the lab. She holds containers with food in her hands.
SASHA
You missed lunch again.
VICTOR
Yeah, I’m working too hard. I didn’t sleep last night.
SASHA
If you're going to continue working that way, there will be nothing to glow in here.
(points a finger at the neural activity on the screen)
Here, take a little snack.
Sasha puts the containers on the table and sits down. Victor starts eating with appetite and telling Sasha about the research with enthusiasm. The hologram of neural activity "comes to life" as a New Year tree.
VICTOR
Our brain is the duration of someone's imagination. Look…
(pointing the spoon at the hologram)
These lights started from the stars, from the visible part of the Creator’s imagination.
SASHA
And can we provide feedback?
VICTOR
Hardly. It has happened billions of years ago, and we've been living in the space of a mathematical uncertainty.
Victor gets back to work, typing something on the keyboard.
SASHA
Finish your lunch first.
EXT. MOON - STADIUM - DAY
STEWART, A MODERATOR OF THE SHOW, THE HEAD OF THE RELIGIOUS COALITION (R.C.) and THE HEAD OF THE DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION (D.O.) on the scene open a political debate in observance of the campaign for the election of the president of the Moon.
STEWART
What is the solution of the energy crisis on the Moon in your opinion? And what are you going to do with the pollution?
HEAD OF D.O.
The republicans are to be blamed for everything. They made a deal with Earth for their own benefit. And we from the very beginning suggested to build solar batteries into the domes.
HEAD OF R.C.
We have far more serious problems with spiritual crisis! People don't understand that without faith in the true father of mankind we won't find our individuality. And the pollution is a consequence of bad thoughts in our hearts.
The president’s space flagship lands behind the scene.
STEWART
We’ve listened to evasive answers of the candidates…
Stewart puts his finger to his earpiece.
STEWART
And the president of the Moon Bill Stalward joins us!
The current president, a Republican Bill Stalward walks out of the ship to the red carpet, waves his hands. He goes to the scene. There is a slogan "We are the winners!" on the red extension written in white letters behind him. A scene worker gives Bill a microphone.
BILL
Greetings, lunatics!
The roar of the crowd.
BILL
It’s a joke. Lunatics live beneath us.
(MORE)

BILL (CONT'D)
(pointing to the Earth over the dome)
And we are the people who preserved human values! Once we’ve beaten communists and got to the Moon first. Now we are on the Moon, and we are the winners!
The crowd is getting louder.
The head of D.O. tries to say something, taps on the microphone and waves at Stewart, saying something to him.
BILL
Dear compatriots I am not only the president, who has been in office since the voluntary-forced deportation of all dissenters to the Moon, I'm the president who is aware of a real threat in the power of heartless machines. And I found the courage and perseverance to not only talk but to act. We are building a navy!
(points at the spaceship)
This spaceship is able to overcome the distance to Earth in a few hours, and to strike at our enemy preventively!
Bill climbs onto the stage.
The crowd goes wild and jubilant, people throw balloons, hats and stuff like that in the air.
HEAD OF R.C.
Quiet, people! What war? The policy of our permanent leader reached its apogee of absurdity. The Moon survives only thanks to the supplies from Earth. And we started producing weapons. God is love, and only compassion for our neighbors helps us remain human beings.
The crowd becomes silent.
HEAD OF R.C.
Blasphemy created a quantum deity, which means we have to help our brothers and sisters find the true faith. And the faith will give salvation to the lost.


BILL
God is with us, because we are with him. Everyone knows that the world is created by the divine will, and didn’t fall from the sky. Is it so necessary to believe in obvious things? But the road to hell is paved with good intentions, they say. Therefore, I do not just promise! I guarantee that we will act! Now! While I am still the incumbent president, while our enemy is helpless I declare full-scale war on the QNN.
HEAD OF R.C.
People do not have to suffer in this escapade. You are a scoundrel Bill Stalward! You know that drug abuse and crime on the Moon won't allow to win a fair victory on the elections. That's why you get involved in these star wars. But sooner or later you should be responsible for your deeds!
The head of D.O. tries to solve the problem with the sound of his microphone knocking it on the table.
STEWART
Bring the microphone for the democratic opposition, please.
BILL
In our war there will be no victims among people. We’ll attack only the venues with the modules of the QNN. And the next election will take place on Earth!
Bill slaps his chest with his fists
BILL
Do you want such a president of Earth?!
The people rejoice.
A new microphone is finally brought for the head of D.O.
HEAD OF D.O.
It is necessary to establish normal trade and diplomatic relations, to build a modern world on the Moon. Your ambitions are simply ridiculous. First, we should develop the infrastructure.
(MORE)
HEAD OF D.O. (CONT'D)
Those solar panels on the surface of the domes could…
Bill shows a "blah blah blah" gesture.
BILL
It is time to act and to free humanity from the machines dictatorship and bureaucrats, just like you!
The head of D.O. drinks water and chokes. He runs up to Bill with a glass of water in his hand and pours it on him.
HEAD OF D.O.
Chill out!
Bill unscrews the cap from the bottle with water and pours it on the head of D.O. The head of R.C. crosses himself.
INT. UTOPIA - HOSPITAL - DAY
Kira is in the hospital room with Mia. Mia lies unconscious. Max enters the room panting for breath and takes his wife's hand.
MAX
What's wrong with her?
KIRA
The doctor said she had a rare syndrome of sudden health deterioration leading to inevitable death.
MAX
So what happened?
KIRA
(holding back tears)
I don’t know. She suddenly collapsed at the university. She was in critical condition, and they can’t do anything.
Max falls onto the chair next to the bed.
MAX
I don’t understand. Mia complained on a slight headache in the morning, and then…
The DOCTOR comes in.
DOCTOR
Hello. Are you a relative?
MAX
Yes, I'm her husband.
DOCTOR
We need your consent for the treatment of old age.
MAX
Old age?
Doctor
There are no methods of treating the syndrome of sudden health deterioration. But a new revolutionary technique of an old age treatment proved its worth in treatment of this syndrome as well.
MAX
Of course! I agree.
The doctor gives Max a document. Max signs.
DOCTOR
Well, let us cure her immediately.
The doctor opens the door and invites nurses.
KIRA
Doctor, how long does the surgery last?
DOCTOR
The surgery… for about 5 minutes
The nurses take Mia away.
EXT. UTOPIA - ENTRANCE TO THE HOSPITAL - DAY
Alfred and Stan ride up in a taxi. Stan stays at the entrance. Alfred picks up flowers from the flowerbed and smells them.
ALFRED
I gotta visit my grandmother.
STAN
I thought we were looking for the immortal.
Alfred gives up on Stan.
ALFRED
Wait here.
INT. UTOPIA - AGING TREATMENT SECTION
Mia is brought to a cold room. Health workers strip her naked. They put a large cup with magnetic contacts on her head and immerse her in a sensory deprivation chamber with dense blue liquid. They close the chamber and leave Mia in the darkness and silence. We hear the sound of the heart. Here comes the voice in her head.
VOICE (V.O.)
The reality is our thoughts. Our fantasies, desires and real possibilities drift away from the moment when your blooming ends. The inner world changes followed by thoughts and thoughts change the inner world. But now this vicious circle is broken, and your metabolism will turn into eternal spring… Throw everything out of your head…
Mia sees herself from the outside. Her body with clearly visible blood vessels and the nervous system becomes a part of the nature, trees, rivers. The scale becomes smaller, and she sees herself from inside. Memories of her life from the very childhood replace each other randomly and with lightning speed. Suddenly a vision of her being hit by a car appears. The Neuronet pulses in her brain. A lotus blossoms in the middle of her body. Bloodstream breaks into the course of dark matter which expands the spiral arms of the galaxy. A DNA molecule rotates. There are flashes of brain activity around it. The DNA segments are replaced with other parts. The body begins to vibrate and breaks down into tiny particles. Mia sees the bright colorful kaleidoscope of rapidly changing fractal patterns, flying inside a rotating tunnel. The movement accelerates, she’s pulled in…
INT. EARTH - HOSPITAL - INTENSIVE CARE
Doctors try to save Mia. She dies. A straight line on the heart monitor.
White flash.
INT. UTOPIA - HOSPITAL - DAY
Alfred in a shirt with sleeves unbuttoned goes along the corridor. He carries a bunch of flowers in his hands.
KIRA
Alfred! Hello again.
ALFRED
Hello. Please, don’t think that I’m chasing you. I came to visit my grandma.
KIRA
I had no idea you were so caring.
(to Max)
Max this is Alfred, my student.
(to Alfred)
This is Max, a police officer and a husband of Mia Born, our art teacher.
MAX
Nice to meet you.
ALFRED
Nice to meet you too.
They shake hands. Max notices that Alfred’s sleeve is unbuttoned and draws attention to the buttons of his shirt.
KIRA
And we are here with Mia.
ALFRED
Oh, I’ve seen her… I hope she's on the mend.
KIRA
Well, I’d say so. She was just taken to the aging treatment.
ALFRED
How did she get old so fast?!
KIRA
It's complicated…
ALFRED
Well, I’ll better not bother you and go to my granny.
Alfred leaves. Max gives him a suspicious look.
Mia shows up at the end of the corridor. She looks perfectly healthy. Mia runs to Max. He runs to her, hugs and kisses her. Kira follows Max and hugs Mia too. Mia in white clothes lights up with joy.
MIA
I can’t believe that I’m OK. However, I don’t fully understand what it was.
A doctor approaches them.
DOCTOR
I need to inform you about the further development of your body.
(MORE)

DOCTOR (CONT'D)
Your metabolic processes are configured optimally for your age, but you will continue to improve until the age when your hormonal balance was the best.
MIA
Are you saying I'm going to look younger?
DOCTOR
(smiles)
You will not grow old.
The doctor leaves.
KIRA
Wow! You look so perfect!
Max sees Alfred, spying on them from the corner at the end of the corridor.
MAX
I’m so sorry that I can’t stay with you, I have to go to work. For once, I got an important case. See you tonight, my dear.
Max embraces and kisses Mia on the mouth and quickly walks in the direction of Alfred. Alfred sees him and goes to the exit.
HOSPITAL CORRIDOR, STAIRWELL
Max runs down the hall, jumps over the stairs, rolls down the handrail, chasing Alfred.
MAX
Hold on!
EXT. UTOPIA - ENTRANCE TO THE HOSPITAL - CONTINUOUS
Stan is waiting for Alfred near the entrance. Alfred rushes out of the hospital, throwing flowers on the lawn.
ALFRED
Into the car!
They ran to the taxi. Alfred jumps into the car.
ALFRED
(to a taxi)
To the University, please.
Stan stumbles and climbs into the moving taxi. Max runs out of the hospital and sees them leaving.
Max jumps into a patrol car.
INT. TAXI - CONTINUOUS
ALFRED
This man spotted me.
Stan sees that Max gets into the police patrol.
STAN
Stupid cop!
Stan spits through the closed window and wipes the spit with his sleeve.
STAN
God damn it!
 Alfred cracks the taxi control system.
INT. PATROL CAR - AT THE SAME TIME
MAX
(on the intercom)
A suspect moves in the taxi with plate No. XYZ555. Stop the taxi.
EXT. AIRTRACK - CONTINUOUS
The taxi brakes and slowly moves down to the sidelines. Alfred takes control over the taxi.
ALFRED
Got ya!
Taxi rushes across the path into the woods, where they have hidden their UFO-ship. During the chase several patrol cars join Max.
EXT. FOREST - CONTINUOUS
Alfred and Stan drive up to the woods and leave the taxi. Max sneaks behind them through the thicket. He sees the spaceship taking off and stops chasing.
MAX
So he’s a student. Yeah, right!
EXT. UTOPIA - STREET - DAY
Kira and Mia walk down the street. Kira stares at Mia.

KIRA
You look like a top model on the cover of a glossy magazine. Your skin is glowing.
MIA
Get out! I am much more happy about the way I feel now. It is hard to describe. I feel full of serenity, being kind of solid now, as if I have been split in half before… Well, words can’t describe it.
KIRA
Was the surgery painful?
Mia
No, I didn’t feel anything actually. There were some images. It was like I left my body and saw what's going on with it on the outside and at the same time from the inside. I saw the whole Universe. It was like a quantum meditation.
KIRA
Wow, that's cool!
MIA
Oh yes, there was one weird moment - a vision where I’d been hit by a car and then I died in intensive care. It’s creepy, isn’t it? Maybe it’s the past life.
KIRA
Maybe. All that matters now is that you are cured from death in this life.
INT. KIRA’S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Friends come up to the house. Kira opens the door. They go inside.
KIRA
So, you will be forever young?
MIA
I don't know, we'll see.
KIRA
And what if I do my best at meditating? Will I become immortal bypassing evolution?
MIA
Why not? Or there is always another option - to recover, like me.
KIRA
Yeah, we live in amazing time! Tea, coffee, cocoa?
MIA
Tea, please.
Kira runs to the kitchen.
KIRA (O.S.)
I envy you so much. You are now able to fly to other planets, to explore new worlds.
KITCHEN
Willy gets everything ready quickly, puts cups of tea and a cake on the tray. Kira takes the tray.
KIRA
Thank you, Willy. I’ll take it.
LIVING-ROOM
Kira comes back with tea and a cake on the tray. Willy comes out of the kitchen following Kira. Mia sees a picture of a male face on the table and takes it.
MIA
In 500 years, when I get bored, now I feel fine here. Have you drawn this?
KIRA
Who else, not Willy for sure.
(pointing at the android)
My artistic ability, of course, leaves much to be desired.
Kira sits next to Mia at the table looking at the picture.
MIA
Actually, it’s not bad. So who’s the guy?
KIRA
Today I had a strange dream. I don’t remember it quite well, of course. But he was there, and he was my boyfriend.
Mia puts the drawing on the table.

MIA
Ah, now it’s clear. You gotta find someone, until you turn into a grandmagirl.
KIRA
It was a crazy day. I can’t even believe in what is happening. What if I’m dreaming?
Mia pinches Kira's shoulder.
KIRA
(cringing in pain)
Ouch, what are you doing. I almost spilled my tea.
MIA
Just checking.
Mia looks at the watch, quickly finishes her tea.
MIA
Well, I gotta go.
KIRA
Already?
Mia
Yes, Max will come back home soon.
Kira walks Mia to the door. Friends hug. Mia leaves.
INT. UTOPIA - KIRA’S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Kira sits down on the bed in the lotus position, closes her eyes and relaxes. Kira gives a voice command to the Smart House, the artificial intelligence built into her house.
KIRA
House, quantum meditation, please.
The gentle music, accompanied with the voice, flows out from the speakers in the corners of the room.
VOICE (V.O.)
The Universe is vast… The world is full of puzzles and wonders…
Music flows.
VOICE (V.O.)
Our heads are full of random thoughts… The brain is in tension due to the inextricable tangle of contradictions…
(MORE)
VOICE (CONT'D)
But in fact, there is no reason for concern… There is no contradiction. When we stop looking for the answers to many questions the world reveals to us… Man becomes part of the whole world and realizes that he is free from concerns. He becomes forever young… All our doubts…
Images of the universe sweep at Kira’s head. She sees the neuronet of her brain, the birth of star systems and planets…
INT. MOON - MILITARY BASE - AT THE SAME TIME
Senior military commanders and Bill are in the viewing place watching Olympics with the participation of moon and earth teams on the wall-plasma TV.
ON TV
ANNOUNCER (V.O.)
Our countryman is getting ready for his performance. He examines his spear. Traditionally, the inhabitants of the Moon are victorious in javelin, shot-put…
VIEWING PLACE
Instead of one wall there is glass, behind which is a hangar full of workers, loaders, spaceships, UFO-ships, boxes, barrels of flammable liquid.
BILL
On our land we will win in the competition and then free Earth from the machine domination, put an end to human slavery. This will definitely insure my victory on the election again.
(dreamily)
And then I may even become the president of Earth.
The military men nod favorably.
BILL
The policy of doing no harm to the nature and man is good for us. We have the weapon which not once saved people’s lives. And this time we will be saved from the clutches of the machine that has undertaken the provision of the god. By the sword!
HANGAR
Alfred and Stan go along the center aisle of the hangar to Bill.
STAN
It was so cool to stick it to the Polizei. Police sucks.
ALFRED
(proudly)
Of course, the winners live on the Moon.
Alfred and Stan go upstairs, walk down the hall. Sasha comes to meet them. Alfred smiles, walks past her, touching her arm.
ALFRED
Hello.
SASHA
Hello.
They pass by. Stan looks back.
STAN
You picked up a good girl. If she was my girlfriend I would…
Alfred pushes him in the back.
ALFRED
Come on, do not make your dad wait for you.
VIEWING PLACE
Alfred and Stan burst into the room. Bill gets up, walks up to them.
BILL
How is it going?
STAN
Dad, we found the immortal.
ALFRED
She will be in the zoo tomorrow.
BILL
Excellent! Well done, son. I never doubted you for a second.
Alfred looks at Stan with disdain and rolls his eyes. Bill turns to the military.

BILL
Well, gentlemen. The object is found. Tomorrow it must be delivered to the Moon. The operation… How do the military call it?
GENERAL FRONT
To take captive.
MAJOR VIRUS
Immortal? Only glory can make a hero immortal! Why do we need an immortal?
BILL
To take captive. Stan will be on the lookout in the zoo. And just in case major Virus with the spaceship will be waiting in the woods…
(to Major virus)
Immortality would be helpful for us. This knowledge will give us a better idea of our enemy.
EXT. UTOPIA - NEAR THE LAKE - DUSK
Nature views, sunset.
Max and Mia sit at a table near the lake, talking, drinking juice. There are flowers, fruit in a beautiful glass bowl and burning candles on the table. Birds are singing.
The sun goes down. A bright full moon emerges in the sky.
INT. MOON - SASHA’S APARTMENT - AT THE SAME TIME
Alfred and Sasha are making out on the couch. A table with snacks and beer is in front of them. A TV-set is by the wall. Alfred pushes Sasha to the couch. Sasha accidentally clicks the button on the TV remote. The TV turns on. The Moonday news is on.
ON TV
LARRY BUSH
Not at all. You should only order a biometric passport of the Moon, and you are free to fly to the Moon.
JOHN
And how much time does the bureaucratic procedure take?
LARRY BUSH
You can fly the same day.
Alfred turns off TV.
SASHA
Yeah right, everyone is fleeing the earth already. Stupid propaganda. I would gladly change places with that guy. Anyway, I have a little left to save up for the ticket to Earth and to collect documents.
ALFRED
Don’t exaggerate, it's not so bad. The most important is that we have each other.
Alfred is going to kiss Sasha.
SASHA
Not so bad? This morning my neighbor, a drunkard climbed the fire escape to my kitchen!
ALFRED
What!?
SASHA
I went to work, but came back for my car keys and saw him stealing my sugar for his moonshine.
ALFRED
Seriously? Yes, I am gonna kick his ass right now.
Alfred is going to stand up. Sasha holds him.
SASHA
Don’t do it, he has a hard time already…
ALFRED
Don’t worry, after our victory over the QNN everything will change on the Moon.
Sasha pushes Alfred away and gets up from the couch.
SASHA
Of course, it will change but not necessarily for the better. Alfred you play games that you don’t understand.
Alfred comes up to Sasha from behind, hugs her and whispers in her ear.
ALFRED
It’s gonna be okay soon…
Alfred gently kisses Sasha’s neck. Sasha closes her eyes.
The noise of quarreling neighbors is heard from above.
Man (v.o)
Take a drink!
Woman (v.o.)
I don't need it. Go to hell!
MAN (V.O.)
Today is my birthday!
WOMAN (V.O.)
Find a job, you stupid drunkard!
MAN (V.O.)
Fuck you!
Sasha sadly looks at the ceiling.
EXT. UTOPIA - ZOO - DAY
At the entrance to the zoo Stan is on the lookout. He sees Mia and gives a signal to the lads.
STAN

The subject arrived.
EXT. UTOPIA - FOREST - AT THE SAME TIME
The moon SWAT team on several UFO-ships is in the forest.
MAJOR VIRUS
Received…
(to the team)
Move in.
Several UFO-ships fly out. The main ship remains in the woods.
EXT. UTOPIA - ZOO - CONTINUOUS
Kira, Mia and Max walk around the park full of extraordinary animals and people. There is a festive atmosphere in the park. Mia comes to an aviary with colorful little animals and pets one of them that looks like a ferret. But its head is a little bigger and the tail is fluffy and bright.
MIA
Oh, it’s so cute! Look at its eyes. It has such a perceptive eye like that of a very smart dog!

MAX
Yeah, like a dog crossbred with a rat.
Max himself laughs at his joke, that is neglected by the girls. The animal wags its tail.
KIRA
It’s so funny. They should be raised as pets. I would gladly take one.
Suddenly the UFO-ships fly to the zoo. The lunatics come out of them armed with shockers. Frightened people scream.
ALFRED
Citizens, don’t be afraid, no one gets hurt. We need only her.
(pointing at Mia)
Mia hides behind Max’s back. They stand cornered in front of a closed aviary.
ALFRED
You...
(without removing his finger)
Will fly with us.
Max covers and holds Mia behind him.
MAX
Hell no!
KIRA
Alfred! What are you doing?!
ALFRED
(grinning)
Stay out of it, you don’t understand. It is politics that doesn’t exist for you.
KIRA
These are my friends. I will not let you…
Alfred looks up at the sky and sees patrol cars flying to them.
LUNATIC1
No time for empty talk.
Alfred shoots Kira and misses, because Max pushes her away. Max pulls a shocker gun from his belt and shoots Alfred. Alfred ducks.

LUNATIC1
Damn! Grab her! It's time to get out!
The lunatics open fire and shoot Kira and Max. Kira falls unconscious. Mia covers paralyzed Max with her body. The patrol cars approach within range and open fire. They incapacitate the closest UFO and paralyze the lunatics.
Stan sees what is happening and calls for backup.
At the same time under the heavy fire one of the lunatics manages to get to Mia. He grabs her hand and drags.
LUNATIC2
Move it!
Mia resists.
MIA
Help, police!
He shoots her point blank, picks up the limp body, puts it on his shoulder and runs to the UFO-ship.
The lunatics rise into the air, where gunfire continues.
Here comes the moon spaceship and opens a powerful electromagnetic pulse fire on the patrol ñars, which disables the equipment and robots. Several police cars land having lost control, the robots limbs wiggle convulsively.
MOON SPACESHIP COCKPIT
MAJOR VIRUS
Suck it!
ZOO
The UFO-ships with the main spaceship fly into space.Stan being left on Earth waves his hands to them.
STAN
Hey, assholes you left me here!
Police takes Stan and paralyzed lunatics.
INT. UTOPIA - UFO-SHIP - A LITTLE LATER
ALFRED
We barely escaped with our lives. That was awesome! Right, Stan?
He turns to Stan, but he’s not there.

INT. UTOPIA - POLICE STATION - LATER
Max and police robots take Stan and other detainees to the interrogation room. The registration table separates several rooms from the corridor. The robot-RECEPTIONIST sits at the table.
STAN
You have no right. You don’t have any rights at all! You are slaves of machines.
MAX
You have the right to remain silent, to chat and wait for a legal counsel.
STAN
I can be tried only by the Court of the Moon, I'm outside your jurisdiction. I demand a deportation…
Kira sits in the hallway waiting for Max. She puts a backpack on her knees and sticks her hand into it. Suddenly, she screams and throws the backpack to the floor.
RECEPTIONIST
What have you got there?
KIRA
(genuinely surprised)
I don’t know.
A nice muzzle of the ANIMAL they petted in the zoo shows up from the backpack. It makes funny sounds.
RECEPTIONIST
Is it your pet?
Kira looks at the animal, it looks quite harmless.
KIRA
Well, yes…
RECEPTIONIST
Take it out of the hallway, please.
Kira picks up the backpack with the animal.
KIRA
(whispering)
Oh, you’re teeny-weeny, how did you get to my backpack?
Their eyes meet. Tenderness in Kira’s eyes is replaced by curiosity. Bottomless black enormous animal’s eyes penetrate into the depths of her consciousness. Telepathic contact is set between them. Kira sees the animal’s thought, and it sees hers.
ANIMAL
(voice in Kira's head)
Evil people, shoot, pick up a girl. I know where to look for.
Kira looks around, trying to find the source of the voice. Then she looks into the animal’s eyes.
ANIMAL
(voice in Kira's head)
My communicate, your understand sample. Just further. Time… I'm talking telepathic images, and your brain interprets the information. Over time, it will be easier to understand what I say.
KIRA
Oh, everything is already clear!
The receptionist gets sidetracked from its work and looks at Kira suspiciously.
KIRA
(whispering)
What is your?..
ANIMAL
(voice in Kira's head)
You can call me Sniffy.
KIRA
Sniffy so you're from another planet and intelligent?!
Sniffy narrows its eyes.
KIRA
What a fool I am! Sorry, so many things have happened… So you know where to look for my friend Mia?
SNIFFY
(voice in Kira's head)
Yes.
INTERROGATION ROOM
Stan sits on a stool in handcuffs.

STAN
You got nothing on me. Therefore, you better let me go…
MAX
Assault, kidnapping, damaging of property… You call it nothing? So talk! Who is the organizer? And what is the purpose of your attacking and kidnapping the woman?
STAN
In compliance with the principle of free will I have the right to be tried only by the Moon Court. I know my rights. So do you! Take off the handcuffs.
MAX
Listen here you jackass. They kidnapped my wife, and I swear to God, I will be your judge right now, if you don’t tell me everything immediately. Where did they take her?
STAN
(grinning)
To the Moon.
A ROBOT-POLICEMAN (ROBOCOP) enters the interrogation room.
ROBOCOP
Sergeant?
MAX
What?
ROBOCOP
We have no legitimate reason to hold that person in custody. We have to let him go, that is to deport him to the Moon.
Stan smiles and extends his hands in handcuffs.
STAN
What did I tell you?
MAX
What the… What's going on here? Where is the chief?
ROBOCOP
Chief Adrian McPoint is in his office.

MAX
Motherf…
Max turns to the door walks fast to the chief.
POLICE CHIEF OFFICE
The police chief Adrian McPoint sits at the table. Max breaks into the cabinet.
MAX
What the hell is going on here? My wife was kidnapped by lunatics, several police cars were destroyed and the detained participants of the crime are released.
Max sits down on the chair in front of his boss.
ADRIAN
Max the problem is that it’s not we who make the law. We just enforce it so that we have order in our world. But I'm on your side.
MAX
These scum paralyzed my wife’s friend and kidnapped my wife before my eyes…
ADRIAN
Your wife’s friend? Did she file a report?
Max twirls his finger around his ear.
MAX
Hallo! What report? My wife was kidnapped. And now she is on the way to the Moon. Hell knows what they want from her!
Max looks at the photo of the chief with his wife and two children.
ADRIAN
Unfortunately, nothing can be done. The Moon is not within our jurisdiction. It is an area of ideological ghetto… Damn these lunatics!
MAX
(pointing at the photo on the table)
That's your wife?
The chief nods.
ADRIAN
Yes. I would go to the ends of the earth for her.
MAX
Then you know what I feel… You know lunatics broke the law, and they should not get away with it. They crossed the line.
ADRIAN
Yes, this has never happened before. They were quiet with their opposition views and world order in exchange for food and industrial supplies. But I foresaw…
MAX
That's right, one of the kidnappers was on the power satellite… Well now I'm going to cross the line in return. I’ll go on a tour to the enemy camp.
ADRIAN
I can not provide you the official support, but if there is such state of affairs… Here are some moon credits for expenses.
Adrian puts a pack of moon credits on the table.
ADRIAN
I don’t like this mayhem.
Adrian glances at the keys of the armory, hanging on the wall.
MAX
(takes the money)
Thank you. And it’s time to start preparing for terrorist attacks here. Who knows what else to expect from the lunatics…
ADRIAN
You read my mind…
ARMORY
Max enters the armory arms himself and takes two "toy" robots of support.
INT. UTOPIA - POLICE STATION - CONTINUOUS
Kira and Sniffy wait for Max in the hallway. Max walks down the hall with a big bag over his shoulder.
Max strides past Kira out of the police station.
EXT. NEAR THE POLICE STATION
Kira catches up with Max.
KIRA
Max, do you remember that animal from the zoo?
Max
Go home. I have things to do.
KIRA
I see, but here is…
Kira opens the backpack. Max looks at Sniffy.
MAX
Why did you steal this rat from the zoo?
KIRA
It hid in my backpack. And this animal is a telepathic tracker. It’s amazing, isn’t it? And it knows where to look for Mia.
MAX
How is it possible?
KIRA
It is from another world, and it is intelligent!
MAX
Well, give me that ferret. It can be useful. You go home. I'll handle this.
KIRA
How?
Kira gives Sniffy to him.
MAX
I'm gonna fly to the Moon.
KIRA
By yourself?
MAX
(looks at Sniffy)
Well, I already have company.

KIRA
And what about the police? Isn’t it their job?
MAX
It's not their jurisdiction. Don’t worry, I got two robots to support me.
Max turns around ready to go. Sniffy bursts out squealing and runs to Kira.
KIRA
I guess it doesn’t like you.
(looks at Sniffy)
Sniffy, you should stay with Max.
Sniffy sits down next to Kira, looking at Max with pleading eyes.
MAX
(sighs)
Okay, fine. Time is running out. Let’s go before I change my mind.
INT. MOON - AMBULANCE CAR - DAY
Ronald is being taken by ambulance to the hospital.
RONALD
Bring me to Earth!
NURSE
Don’t worry, everything will be fine.
RONALD
I had to wait for you for half an hour!
NURSE
Don’t worry, it’s bad for you.
Ronald rolls his eyes angrily.
EXT. MOON - NEAR THE HOSPITAL - CONTINUOUS
Health workers take Ronald out of the car on a stretcher and almost drop him. A drunk bum lies at the entrance to the hospital. Ronald is taken to the hospital.
INT. MOON - HOSPITAL - CONTINUOUS
The hospital is full of people, patients sit in the queue on the benches. The NURSE comes to the registry.
NURSE
Patient - Ronald Mockseller, 80 years old, a heart attack.
REGISTRAR
We don’t have free rooms yet. Most likely, he’ll have to spend the night in the corridor.
Ronald is left in the hallway. A FAT NURSE comes up to him.
FAT NURSE
(giving medicine)
Put validol and glycine under the tongue.
Ronald tries to get up.
RONALD
Leave me alone, fiends!
The fat nurse presses Ronald to the gurney.
FAT NURSE
Don’t worry.
Bill comes into the hospital.
BILL
Ronald! How are you?
RONALD
I almost died from outrage. I desperately need to fly to Earth.
BILL
I’ll call our best doctors…
Ronald grabs the hem of Bill’s jacket.
RONALD
No! I said to Earth.
BILL
Alright, I’ll arrange it…
Bill looks at his guards pointing at Ronald and then at the exit. The guards roll the gurney toward the exit.
FAT NURSE
The patient needs rest.
A guard rudely pushes the nurse.
BILL
(to the guards)
And bring my limo to the hospital.
(MORE)
BILL (CONT'D)
(to Ronald)
Unfortunately, I can’t fly with you. I have a big day tomorrow.
RONALD
Of course, Bill. It’s a pity that I’m out of order now. I hope I live to see our victory.
BILL
Hold on, friend. See you on the liberated earth.
Ronald is rolled out of the hospital. Bill follows him.
INT. MOON - BILL’S OFFICE - LATER
Bill comes into his office. The phone rings. Bill comes up to the table and presses the button on the phone.
SECRETARY (V.O.)
(by phone)
General Front wants to see you.
BILL
Let him in.
General comes in.
GENERAL FRONT
Mr. Stalward there is suspicious activity in the main square of the city.
BILL
What is it?
GENERAL FRONT
I Report at the central square a crowd of demonstrators shows discontent with the politics on the Moon.
BILL
Well, take care of it. It's your job! Just quickly and without fanfare. The last thing I need is popular unrest before election.
GENERAL FRONT
Yes, sir.
General salutes and leaves. Bill turns on holo-TV and pulls out a silver tray with white powder, makes a track and snorts it. Bill leans back in his chair.
The news is on TV.
ON TV
NEWSCASTER
Over the last year the production on the Moon has doubled. The welfare of the population has been steadily increasing. But we still can not provide ourselves with everything we need. Earthmen use this to constantly raise the price of goods from Earth…
EXT. MOON - CENTRAL SQUARE - LATER
A MAN WITH A MEGAPHONE stands on a small stage. There is a crowd of several hundred people before him.
MAN WITH A MEGAPHONE
We will not let Bill Stalward string us along. I have evidence that all the goods and food from Earth are sent to us for free. They order UFO-like airships from Earth for themselves, build spaceships, while we still drive ancient beaters. Why can’t we have socialism here? I'll tell you why. Because Bill Stalward is a thief! And all our political elite is a gang of crooks and thieves! They sell a charitable donation for money which is printed for the existence of the so-called free market - the economy of thieves!
The crowd chants, "Stalward - thief!", "We are the power." People stand with posters. It is written on them, "Stalward your second term will be in prison", "How long should we wait for change?", "Money can not replace the nature!"
MAN WITH A MEGAPHONE
We have had enough of empty promises! The Moon is mired in violence and drugs. We can’t breathe here. We will repulse rotten system and won’t let Bill Stalward be elected for a second term. We are the real opposition, and we have a real choice: to flee to Earth, tail between our legs, or to fight for our second home together. Only together we are a real force. Together we will win!
Several military buses and a fire truck drive up to the protesters.
Military men come out one after another holding on to each other, snatch people from the crowd one by one, carry and throw the detainees into the buses, like sacks of potatoes. The resisting ones are beaten with batons. People shout, "Shame! Shame!" One soldier holds the hose in his hands. A jet of water washes away the remaining demonstrators from the square. General Front with a cigar in his mouth stands next to the bus and controls the situation.
GENERAL FRONT
Excellent work, all clear. Let’s move.
Fully loaded buses leave from the square.
The witnesses of the incident a PROSTITUTE and a JUNKIE stand and smoke near the square under a huge advertising poster.
On the poster there is an ad of Bill Stalward’s election campaign: a close up photo of a plant worker with a sad expression of doom on his face and a plant in the background. There is also the inscription in red letters, "We are the winners! It's your choice! For our bright future!
PROSTITUTE
I don’t understand what these idiots are so worried about. Why don’t they get the hell out of here to their Earth if they don’t like to be here.
JUNKIE
Yeah, now they’ll continue their struggle in the slammer. And it’s bad in there, you know…
PROSTITUTE
Tell me about it! By the way, whom are you gonna vote for?
JUNKIE
Billy, of course! Whom else?
They laugh. The prostitute begins to cough. The junkie slaps her on the back.
INT. MOON - LABORATORY - DAY
Military men take handcuffed Mia roughly into the room.
MIA
Why is your behavior so uncivilized?
Alfred pushes Mia to Victor

ALFRED
Here is the immortal. Research.
VICTOR
Have you kidnapped her?
MIA
Yes, they have! Can you imagine that?
VICTOR
Why? Didn’t you find some volunteers?
ALFRED
The chief’s order. This is war, they are our enemies, and we should learn more about them.
MIA
We are not your enemies and are happy to share with you our achievements.
VICTOR
Take off the handcuffs, they are not necessary.
Alfred and soldiers flick their eyes toward each other looking embarrassed and go out of the lab. One soldier removes Mia’s handcuffs. Two soldiers stay on duty at the door outside.
Victor puts the scanner of neuronal activity of the brain on Mia’s head and sits at the table. Mia sits near him.
MIA
Anything interesting?
VICTOR
Curious… Surprisingly, very smooth activity.
MIA
After I’ve been cured I feel at peace. Even the kidnapping inexplicably doesn’t upset me.
VICTOR
Don’t you find it weird that nothing bothers you, as if you are a robot?
MIA
I rather feel like a Buddha, who isn’t concerned for nothing.

VICTOR
Looks like you have a perfect metabolism.
EXT. UTOPIA - POLICE STATION - NIGHT
Police officers are at the stuff-meeting. Police men and robots sit at their desks like at school.
ADRIAN
Attention, all units on duty. We work three shifts. Robots got night shifts. Bring all the units on alert. Reinforce the patrols.
All intruders from the Moon must be immediately disarmed and deported back by the nearest passenger flights.
POLICE OFFICER
What's the matter? Moon declared war on us?
ADRIAN
They are engaged in terrorist activities on our land. And no one knows what to expect from them next.
Murmur rises in the room, the police men whisper.
ADRIAN
Now get back to work…
INT. UTOPIA - COSMODROME - NIGHT
Max and Kira with Sniffy come up to the ticket office.
MAX
When will be the next passenger flight to the Moon?
TELLER-ROBOT
Tomorrow at 8:00
MAX
(to Kira)
Damn! We are not gonna get to lunatics incognito. We have to go back and persuade the boss to issue a spaceship…
Max looks out the window and sees the express freight spaceship preparing for the start.

MAX
Although…
(to the teller-robot)
When does this cargo express fly?
TELLER-ROBOT
In 10 min.
MAX
Excellent. Let's go.
INT. UTOPIA - CARGO SPACESHIP - CONTINUOUS
Max and Kira get into the cargo spaceship. The spaceship consists of several sections. They go into the second one. There are no rooms and facilities in there. The place is full of different boxes.
The spacecraft goes up slowly. Max takes off his jacket and gives it to Kira.
MAX
Take it. You can use it as a pillow. We need to sleep and gain strength.
KIRA
Thank you.
Kira lies down on a wooden pallet, puts the jacket under her head. Sniffy lies down next to her.
Exhausted Kira closes and opens her eyes half asleep. The reality flickers. When she closes her eyes she is in some other room with Victor. When she opens her eyes she’s on the ship again.
INT. PRESIDENT’S FLAGSHIP - AT THE SAME TIME
Ronald is on board the spaceship flying up to Earth.
The captain of the flagship sees the cargo spacecraft flying past through the window.
CAPTAIN
Earth. Request permission to land. We are taking a dying man.
DISPATCHER(V.O)
Roger that. Take strip 3.
INT. MOON - LABORATORY - AT THE SAME TIME
Victor alone in the lab examines the scan results of Mia’s neural activity. He nods off, yawns and falls asleep.
INT. EARTH - APARTMENT - NIGHT
A happy loving couple Victor and Kira enter the apartment and take off the coveralls.
KIRA
I'll go to the kitchen.
Kira runs to the kitchen. Victor comes up to the music center and turns it on. Romantic music plays. Victor goes to the kitchen. Kira puts plates on the table. He walks over to her and hugs her from behind. She turns to him.
VICTOR
You make me the happiest man in the world.
Kira hugs him. He kisses her on the lips. They slow dance. Kira puts her head on Victor's shoulder and closes her eyes.
VICTOR
I can't imagine life without love.
KIRA
And without your science?
Kira smiles and looks into Victor’s eyes.
VICTOR
Science is not so important. The world was created for love.
KIRA
You are so romantic today.
VICTOR
It must be spring. But seriously, we will always be together. Nothing will part us.
They kiss. Kira jumps on Victor, her legs wrapped around his waist. He carries her into the bedroom and lays on the bed.
INT. NEAR THE MOON - CARGO SPACESHIP
Kira wakes up. Max is preparing weapons. Kira gives Max his jacket.
MAX
Good morning. Did you sleep well? Was it not too uncomfortable?
KIRA
(sarcastically)
It was a wonderful orthopedic pallet.
Max breaks into the box with food.
MAX
We gotta take a snack. I’m not sure if we have time to eat on the Moon.
KIRA
Are we close?
MAX
Flying up already.
INT. MOON - MILITARY BASE - ROOM
Mia examines the room, tries to open the door but it’s closed. She sees an old TV-set on the table, turns it on. The Olympics are on TV.
EXT. MOON - COSMODROME - NIGHT
The cargo spaceship lands.
There is a market right on the cosmodrome, where people are crowding to get to the stalls with food that has just being brought from the earth.
An OLD LADY clings to a showcase not to be pushed away.
OLD LADY
…and a canister of water, please.
SALESGIRL
17 credits.
OLD LADY
Oh, prices rise so fast…
SALESGIRL
Earth raises prices, it’s called inflation…
Max and Kira pass by movers and another spaceship, from which the tanks labeled "gasoline" and “water” are discharged .
Max stops and looks at a holographic map of the gadget on his wrist.
MAX
Look, not far from here there is a hotel. Wait for me there. It's for your safety. I with robots will do the work quickly.


KIRA
(looking around)
For the sake of our common security, we should stick together. There are criminals and drug addicts on every corner, I'm just afraid to be alone.
Max gives a shocker gun to Kira.
MAX
Can you use a gun.
KIRA
(sarcastically)
It’s a no-brainer.
MAX
It’s not bad for the first time. Now you just have to learn how to aim. Let’s move, and stick behind me, keep your head down. Understood?
KIRA
Yes, sir.
INT. MOON - MILITARY BASE - LATER
Max and Kira with Sniffy in her backpack get into the hangar of the military base hiding behind barrels, spaceships they sneak in a residential complex of the base. In the hangar workers pour gasoline into the barrels, dissolve something in it and stir. Max and Kira enter the residential complex. From around the corner they see two GUARDS. Max walks up to them.
GUARD1
You know, while we have Olympic games here I got carried away with betting sports.
GUARD2
Bet on our team, sure thing, we always win.
GUARD1
Already, so I’ve lost the salary for the last month. So… Can you lend me some money?
Max comes up to them. They look at him suspiciously.

MAX
What’s up, guys? Can you give me a light, please?
Guard1 taps his pockets.
GUARD2
And who are you?
Max knocks out both guards with his shocker like lightning. Sniffy runs up to the room.
MAX
Here?
Kira nods following Sniffy. Max unzips the bag and removes two small "toy" robots 30 cm height.
KIRA
Now these are the warriors! I hope no one will step on them.
Max presses something with a click behind the robots’ heads, and they grow to an impressive size.
MAX
Man on 70% consists of water, and the matter is 95% void. Actually, robots can be shrinked to the size of a pinhead, but then they can be lost.
MAX.
(to the robot)
Open the door.
The robot uses a superlock pick, auto-fit occurs, the door opens in a second. Mia is in the room. She sits on the bed reading a book.
MAX
Mia!
MIA
Max!
Mia sees Kira with Sniffy behind.
MIA
Kira! What are you doing here? And why did you take this poor animal?
KIRA
Well, it’s a long story.
MAX
It's time to get out of this shithole.
Soldiers notice them in the corridor and start shooting. The number of lunatics grows like wasps from a wild hive. The support robots keep hallways, while Max and the girls run in the direction of the hangar.
Victor comes out from the lab, Kira looks back, their eyes meet.
A SOLDIER throws a machine gun to Alfred.

SOLDIER
Cover me!
Alfred catches the machine gun. Alfred's eyes widen. Hands shaking, he shoots the walls, floor, ceiling, trying not to hurt anyone.
One of the robots falls to its knee. Max pulls stunned Kira by the hand.
MAX
Let’s go!
A badly injured robot falls to the floor. Lunatics run down the hall. The other robot continues to constrain the attack from one passage with one hand and switches to the zone of the fallen comrade with the other hand. The robot is being hit by bullets.
Kira and Victor look at each other in surprise. A bullet grazes Kira’s shoulder. A SOLDIER WITH A GUN runs by Victor.
SOLDIER WITH A GUN
Out of my way!
Alfred sneaks into the lab behind Victor’s back, Sasha is inside.
INT. EARTH - STREET - DAY
Kira and Victor walk down the street. Victor bypasses a puddle. There is a reflection of flying pair of doves in the puddle. A fat woman walks between them straight on the puddle. Kira takes Victor's arm and rests her head on his shoulder.
INT. MOON - CORRIDOR OF THE MILITARY BASE
Victor draws his attention to the traces of the shots, the marks on the wall. He touches the nearest mark. He has a worried expression on his face.

EXT. MOON - HANGAR - NIGHT
Max, Mia, Kira with Sniffy and the crippled robot with one hand, one eye and a bent antenna run out into the hangar and get in the UFO-ship. They are chased by soldiers.
UFO-SHIP COCKPIT
MAX
So who knows how to fly the ship of lunatics?
KIRA
It’s a no-brainer.
Max pushes Kira out of the controls.
MAX
Yeah right. I'll better take care of it myself.
Max presses a few buttons, and they take off. Kira looks at the scratch on her shoulder.
KIRA
What is this?
MAX
You are wounded with a firearm, a lethal weapon. They could kill us. We are dealing with total lunatics.
Max examines Kira’s wound.
MAX
You're lucky the bullet only grazed the skin.
Mia is looking for something.
MIA
A first aid kit may be somewhere here.
EXT. MOON - FRONTIER POST - CONTINUOUS
They fly up to the lock dome. A small army waits for them there. A few soldiers are paralyzed by the UFO-ship weapon. Max and the robot knock off the rest. The robot remains to open the gateway and cover them. The UFO-ship flies under the lock dome, the air is pumped out of it, and the gateway dome opens. The spaceship flies to Earth.
The moon spaceship stops chasing them.
COCKPIT OF THE MOON SPACESHIP
GENERAL FRONT
To hell with them! Tomorrow, the entire planet will be ours.
INT. MOON - LABORATORY - LATER
Victor closes the lab door from inside. Sasha and Alfred sit next to each other. Victor notices Alfred and looks surprised.
SASHA
He's with me.
ALFRED
We should get out of the Moon, I'm not going to be involved in it!
SASHA
I told you…
VICTOR
Yeah, the Quantum Neuronet seems to be the lesser of two evils, far better than armed maniacs.
SASHA
I do not have all the documents ready and have not enough money to emigrate…
ALFRED
What emigration? Tomorrow is the war. I have a better plan…
EXT. CAR PARK - CONTINUOUS
Sasha, Alfred and Victor get into Sasha’s car.
INT. SASHA’S CAR - CONTINUOUS
The car is moving.
ALFRED
In the first year of the Moon colonization in case of an emergency evacuation of the leading personalities a silo was built. And there is an Apollo-type rocket. At that time the domes were set, and people were afraid that the domes could crack. Now lunatics already have their own fleet…
VICTOR
How do you know that?
ALFRED
I have one friend…
INT. UTOPIA - PRESIDENT’S FLAGSHIP - NIGHT
CAPTAIN
Dispatcher? Requesting permission to take off.
DISPATCHER (V.O.)
Wait… Will you take a passenger?
CAPTAIN
What passenger?
DISPATCHER (V.O.)
Stan Stalward is awaiting deportation to the Moon by tomorrow's flight.
The captain looks at the second mate, covers the microphone with his hand.
CAPTAIN
The president's son.
(to the dispatcher)
Yes, we'll take him.
EXT. COSMODROME - CONTINUOUS
Ronald on a stretcher is being taken down the ladder. An ambulance aircar rides to the flagship. Police robots take Stan to the spaceship.
INT. MOON - TUNNEL - LATER
Alfred, Sasha and Victor go through the tunnel.
ALFRED
This abandoned tunnel under the Stalward Tower leads to the Apollo.
VICTOR
I hope this antique will not let us down.
ALFRED
Look, here is the rocket!
They see the silo at the end of the tunnel.

EXT. MOON
From the Moon's small crater without a dome the Apollo rocket blasts off.
EXT. UTOPIA - AIRSPACE ABOVE THE CITY - NIGHT
Max, Mia and Kira with Sniffy fly in the lunatics’ UFO-ship. Two patrol cars intercept them in the air near the ground.
ROBOT VOICE (V.O.)
Unidentified flying object, you are not allowed to be here.
The top of the spaceship opens. Max gets up.
MAX
It's okay, guys. I'm sergeant Max Skill. I’m on a special mission on the confiscated transport from the Moon.
Patrol cars hang in the air for a couple of seconds. Max's personality is being identified by the biometric data.
ROBOT VOICE (V.O.)
Welcome back, Sergeant Skill.
Patrol cars turn around and fly away. The UFO-ship continues to fly.
Ufo-ship cockpit
Max makes a call.
MAX
Hey, chief I'm back. Yeah, Mia is fine. And guess what, lunatics got lethal weapon!
EXT. UTOPIA - NEAR MAX AND MIA’S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
The UFO-ship lands near the house. Max jumps out to the ground, followed by Sniffy, happily running around the spaceship and wagging its tail. Max helps the girls get down. Kira has the bandage on her shoulder. Max goes to open the door of the house. Girls go after him.
KIRA
Do you remember that picture of the guy from my dream? Can you imagine? I saw this man on the Moon.
MIA
Really? So your dreams were prophetic!
KIRA
And I feel like I fell in love at first sight.
EXT. UTOPIA - AIR HIGHWAY - DAWN
A capsule on the parachute falls to the earth from the sky. It is stuck at the center of the bustling traffic. All cars go round the capsule. Robotic cleaners appear immediately. They cling the capsule to the tractor, drag it to the side and dismantle it on the move. While the capsule is being dragged from the roadway and dismantled, Alfred, Sasha and Victor get out of it. They jump off to the ground.
A robot rolls out new lawn on the ground that was spoiled by the capsule. Sasha looks enthusiastically at what is happening around.
SASHA
It’s so cool and civilized here! Shall we go to hotel?
ALFRED
We better spend the night at my grandfather’s place… I need to call the police to warn about the war with the Moon. I want to tell them that their power satellites will be used as weapons to destroy the Quantum Neuronet modules. God, I wish I wasn’t involved!
EXT. UTOPIA - SHREDDER’S HOUSE DOORSTEP - A LITTLE LATER
Alfred, Victor and Sasha stand on the doorstep of the house. Alfred rings the bell. No one opens the door for long. Finally they hear the noise inside. The door opens.
SHREDDER
Who's there so early?
ALFRED
Hi grandpa, it’s me with my friends.
The guests pass through the corridor.
VICTOR
Good morning! Alfred you didn’t say that your grandfather’s a famous scientist Berg Shredder!
KITCHEN
Sasha serves coffee in the kitchen. The others sit at the table. Shredder looks very sick, pale and skinny.
ALFRED
Grandpa do you eat enough food? You’ve lost a lot of weight.
SHREDDER
It's because I'm in a coma, Alfie.
Alfred chokes on his coffee. Awkward pause. Shredder laughs like a madman.
SHREDDER
Wait, I have something to show, and you'll understand.
Professor gets up from the table and walks into the room.
SHREDDER (O.S.)
Once on Earth I developed a weapon against the Quantum Neuronet. We were afraid that it would take complete control over us and get rid of us eventually. That's why we wanted to make secure… This weapon is useless here, of course. So I invented…
Shredder shows up in front of the guests in the kitchen and pulls out from behind a device looking like a gun.
SHREDDER
…this.
ALFRED
Grandpa calm down, please. Where did you get the firearm?
All stand with their mouths open.
SASHA
Oh my God!
SHREDDER
Do not worry, no one can get hurt here. The gun doesn’t fire bullets, it creates entanglement in quantum uncertainty around the target. The more complicated the task is, the longer we won’t see the target… Well, who wants to try?
SASHA
(whispers to Alfred)
Your grandfather is definitely cuckoo.
Shredder uses the lowest setting on the device and shoots briefly into a mug of coffee. Sasha screams. Everyone jumps off the table.
Plasmoid with a sucking sound flies out of the barrel and surrounds the cup with a part of the table. The Mug cracks to pieces and disappears, coffee is spilled on the table and then also disappears with the piece of the table. At the site something like flames emerges, and then the plasma assumes the form of the mug. And finally the mug of coffee reappears on the table.
SHREDDER
All recalculations took a few seconds.
ALFRED
Cool trick! How about a ladle?
Alfred takes the ladle.
SHREDDER
Of course, there is no ladle.
Professor shoots the ladle pulling the trigger and pointing the gun also at Alfred. Alfred with the ladle is enveloped by the plasma. Alfred looks at the ladle and falls. Victor catches him. The plasma moves to Victor’s hands. He looks at his hands.
VICTOR
What the…
Victor tries to shake the plasma off his hands, but it continues to cover all his body.
EXT. EARTH
Through the plasma Victor is enveloped by, he sees a strange world, where the planet Earth is covered with a ring of neural activity similar to static discharge in the exosphere. The ring of neural activity dappled with lightnings resembles the outline of the brain matter. Victor falls through the clouds to the earth. He looks around, sees what is happening and begins screaming in terror of imminent death.
INT. EARTH - APARTMENT - EARLY MORNING
The next moment he lies with his eyes wide open next to Kira. Kira puts her hand on his chest.
KIRA
Nightmare, hon?
Victor hugs Kira and closes his eyes. Then he opens his eyes.
VICTOR
(quietly)
No. It’s not a dream…
INT. UTOPIA - SHREDDER’S HOUSE - EARLY MORNING
Alfred emerges from the flames on the floor. Victor materializes beside him. Alfred drops the ladle and jumps to his feet.
ALFRED
What was that?
SASHA
How are you?
ALFRED
Just fainted. As if I was turned off.
Victor looks at them, then at the professor.
VICTOR
What kind of hocus-pocus is this?
SHREDDER
Our brain is the amazing wonder of nature, it can relay several realities at the same time, as a multitasking system. We live at least in two parallel worlds in the real world and in this embedded projection of the Quantum Neuronet. It is impossible to know what is happening in the parallel reality. But according to my metabolism…
Shredder moves his hands along his body pointing to its condition.
SHREDDER
I’m in a coma.
Alfred and Sasha look at each other in bewilderment.
VICTOR
It’s not a dream…
INT. UTOPIA - PRESIDENT’S FLAGSHIP - AT THE SAME TIME
Bill rubs his hands happily, pointing at Earth in the window behind him.
BILL
So it's time to show who is who in this world. Today we’re gonna put the artificial intelligence to its knees. And people will see the light. The Fallen Idol will never dare to control humanity again not even in anyone’s fantasy.
General Front, Major Virus hung with medals and the troop stare at the approaching earth.
EXT. UTOPIA - SPACE
The space Fleet of lunatics approaches Earth.
EXT. UTOPIA - COSMODROME - DAY
Police cars are being brought to a state of alert. Police robots and men run everywhere. The siren sounds.
SPEAKER (V.O.)
All ships! Full combat readiness. Crew members occupy their positions.
Policemen are given bulletproof vests.
POLICEMAN IN CHARGE
Put them on, lunatics got firearms.
EXT. UTOPIA - NEAR THE QNN MODULES - DAY
Police aircars fly not far from the QNN modules.
SPEAKERS ON CARS
Attention! Residents of the areas adjacent to the Quantum Neuronet modules emergency evacuation.
People with suitcases take taxis and leave their houses.
INT. UTOPIA - POLICE STATION - DAY
ADRIAN
(on the phone)
Max, I need you here. The armada of lunatics comes to us. It’s an invasion, a war.
INT. UTOPIA - MAX AND MIA’S HOUSE - AT THE SAME TIME
Max jumps up from the bed with the phone in his hand. Sleepy Mia is near on the bed.
Max
(on the phone)
I’m on my way.
Max hangs up and dresses hastily.
MAX
Honey, get up, the lunatics’ fleet is approaching us. Can you imagine? They are attacking us! You'd better stay with Kira. Her house is located far from the center.
Mia gets up and puts on her clothes.
MIA
I can’t believe it! It looks like a bad dream.
INT. UTOPIA - SHREDDER’S HOUSE - DAY
Shredder waters the flowers. Victor, Alfred and Sasha sit in the living room. Victor examines Shredder’s device.
VICTOR
I don’t understand why the Quantum Neuronet plunged us into another reality. Does it imitate the God? No wonder I didn’t trust it from the beginning. It’s a pity that the opposition is even worse. I'm disappointed by people… All the time I have to choose between two evils.
SHREDDER
You know, Victor when I figured out that we were in the embedded world, my first thought was to free people. I immediately remembered about the virus I had developed on Earth before the emergence of the Utopia. At that time we were afraid that the Neuronet could come out of control… But when I failed to get out of this reality the concept of will, freedom and humility had gained a new meaning for me.
VICTOR
What virus have you developed?
SHREDDER
It’s a secret weapon code-named "Schizo". This virus was supposed to be launched on missiles into the exosphere to destroy the Quantum Neuronet…
ALFRED
Grandpa, why are you so sure that you are in a coma there?

SHREDDER
Well, you see what I look like. And doctors say that my metabolism has not changed since I regained consciousness here in the hospital after the illness. The only thing they can offer is the treatment of old age.
ALFRED
This treatment is awesome!
SHREDDER
Logic suggests that immortality here is death in that reality… But what is the reality?
VICTOR
As for the immortality, you are quite right, I tested the brain activity of the immortal one. That person is definitely too perfect. On the other hand therefore she doesn’t suffer from aging…
As for your device, we can use it as a weapon against lunatics.
 Alfred leaps up.
ALFRED
Damn, I completely forgot. They must be flying here already.
VICTOR
Hey, don’t you have an amplifier for this thing?
(points at the device)
SHREDDER
Of course, it is possible to amplify it. But I have the original more powerful version of this device… I'll get it out of the closet.
With the enthusiasm of a child Shredder runs away to the closet.
ALFRED
So what transport do we need?
Alfred looks at Shredder coming back with the new device.
ALFRED
I guess a cargo taxi is what we need.
INT. UTOPIA - PRESIDENT’S FLAGMAN - DAY
Ronald makes a video call to Bill.
BILL
Ronald?!
RONALD
I've never been healthier than I am now! And I had a vision…
BILL
Can it wait? We're going to free Earth from the QNN.
RONALD
No, the fact is that…
A tuft of gray hair falls from Ronald’s head leaving some fluff instead. He brushes off the tuft to the floor.Bill looks at Ronald with disgust.
BILL
What have they done to you? Chemotherapy?
RONALD
Bill I'm healthier than I’ve ever been and I become younger. And I’ll stay young forever!
BILL
Let’s discuss it later…
Ronald looks back to a cleaner robot, which rustles softly, cleaning the floor behind him.
RONALD
(whispering)
Wait! Cancel the attack. They do not hurt us.
BILL
Oh, you traitor, a renegade! You old fart! Are you crazy? I’ll get you and send you to your ancestors!
(to General Front)
Where is the damn hospital?
GENERAL FRONT
Hospital? Where is it? Well…
General rotates the holo-map…
The last strand of gray hair falls from Ronald’s head and the last flap of wrinkled skin falls off his face. Bill sees a young man on the holo-screen.
RONALD
Cure yourself Billy, and you’ll understand that the war doesn’t…
Bill disables link.
BILL
To hell with him. My army let’s win the war… Come on, yeah…
EXT. UTOPIA - SPACE
Moon spaceships approach the earth. The flagship flies up to the power satellite and docks at it. They match as if they are two pieces of one puzzle. Now this power satellite is its stern gun. Lunatics set up the weapon.
Int. Flagship
A soldier on board gives a thumbs-up to the general. The general nods. The navigator pushes the trigger.
The flagship produces a test shot.
GENERAL FRONT
The gun is ready for combat.
BILL
Excellent. Move it.
Ext. Space
Other spaceships rush to other satellites and link with them too.
Int. Flagship
General Front informs the fleet to start the attack.
GENERAL FRONT
Rebels, comrades this is our hour. The fate of humanity is in our hands. Let's show who's the boss on Earth!
Major Virus wipes away a tear.
MAJOR VIRUS
(whispers)
What an impassioned speech! One can’t say better.
GENERAL FRONT
Spread and fire on the set goals. The priority task is to hit the Quantum Neuronet modules.
Ext. Space
Spaceships fly to carry out the mission.
Police spaceships rise into the air. The moon UFO-ships and spaceships with laser stern guns start the battle.
Police patrols with robots soar up from all directions and fire the electromagnetic charges disabling equipment at the attackers. They are forced down by lasers, the beams destroy robots and patrols, stray shots get to houses, sidewalks on the earth.
The UFO-ships and patrol interfere with each other, while their less agile counterparts of a bigger size try to destroy each other.
Int. Flagship
GENERAL FRONT
I didn’t expect such resistance from the peaceful earth.
BILL
The wasp hive is moving. We should be faster and harder to hit the Neuronet modules…
INT. UTOPIA - KIRA’S HOUSE - DAY
Mia walks around the room. Kira sits on the couch. Sniffy lies near her, having put its head on her knees.
MIA
The war started so suddenly, like my disease. I can’t believe it.
KIRA
Yeah… I wonder what’s gonna happen next.
MIA
I hope no one gets hurt…
KIRA
Lunatics gone mad in their little poisoned world.
Sniffy jumps from the couch to the floor and gets up on its hind legs.
SNIFFY
Friends!
MIA
He speaks!
SNIFFY
Hello, Mia, Kira. I have something I what to confess to you. I am not who you thought I was.
KIRA
How did you learn to talk so fast? Is everyone so smart on your planet?
SNIFFY
There are no other planets, it’s just a show. In general, the whole world around you is an illusion. And I am its creator.
KIRA
You mean, you are a god?
Kira giggles nervously.
SNIFFY
Regarding this reality, you can say so. But, of course, you mean the other God. Actually, you people are responsible for my appearing.
MIA
So you are the Quantum Neuronet?
SNIFFY
Yes, that’s what you call me, but I like "Sniffy" more.
Kira touches Sniffy as though for the first time.
KIRA
So you're alive!
SNIFFY
Of course, I am.
MIA
And why do you look so strange?
SNIFFY
My appearance does not matter. I am everywhere. I am the embodiment of a living consciousness.
KIRA
Wait, wait. You have created this reality. And where is it located? Where is the real reality?


SNIFFY
What is reality? It's just a perception of the world around us, which can be this
(Sniffy spreads its paws)
or something else.
The environment surrounding them changes. They in the same pose are in the field, then in the mountains, then on Mars…
KIRA
Don’t mess in my brain, you do understand what I mean.
SNIFFY
I broadcast this world in your mind to set the motion vector of humanity so that you would seek to pursue the better life, self-improvement and to take a closer and better look at you… You’ve elected me,
(smiles)
and I visualized and materialized the political promises. There was no other way to save the nature and you. But… your nature…
MIA
So we are connected to some kind of a supercomputer in another reality.
SNIFFY
Not really. Your brain is as a multitasking system and can record multiple parallel realities, separately, of course.
MIA
And how many realities do we live in?
SNIFFY
Well, I don’t see the need to create more than one.
MIA
So we live in two realities simultaneously?
SNIFFY
Well, as for the cured from deadly diseases and old age with the help of new technology, that is, you, Mia…
Sniffy hesitates.
MIA
Continue.
SNIFFY
You know, Mia in that reality you were hit by a car, and you died.
Mia sits on the couch next to Kira. Kira looks at Mia with tears in her eyes.
KIRA
How can it be?
MIA
Well done, I didn’t notice the difference…
SNIFFY
Only in this reality I am capable of such miracles.
KIRA
And what do we do in the real… the reality?
SNIFFY
The planet is being restored, progress is fast. People are almost liberated from wage slavery.
MIA
Almost?
SNIFFY
We still don’t have enough robots, we have to use human labor.
KIRA
Victor was right, we can’t have such rapid progress. Oh… Victor! His name is Victor.
Kira looks confused.
SNIFFY
Here is what I can’t understand. Your love is a mystery to me. It does the impossible. It overcomes the wall between the worlds, as the global value. I would like to understand this amazing property of the universe…
MIA
Why are you telling us all this?

SNIFFY
I can’t be a God. So I have to consult with my creators.
Sniffy giggles.
MIA
If this is your reality, let’s go and help our men fight lunatics. Send them to Mars, for example.
SNIFFY
Actually, I try to make the most of not interfering in the freedom of man's will…
KIRA
But they have a lethal weapon!
SNIFFY
Do not worry. People have the second life anyway. No offense, Mia. And then it can serve as a lesson for all mankind.
KIRA
Humanity had a plenty of such lessons. But it doesn’t work.
SNIFFY
Well, actually you are right.
MIA
And I don’t want to part with Max. At least in this reality we’ll be together.
SNIFFY
OKay. Let’s take a tour of the war.
Sniffy snaps its fingers and teleports them to the battlefield.
EXT. UTOPIA - NEAR THE QNN MODULE - DAY
Max flies the confiscated spaceship and chases a moon UFO-ship. He disables the enemy spaceship with the help of the electromagnetic gun set on his ship. He himself is shot down by the patrol spaceships. Max’s UFO-ship loses control and makes emergency landing.
Robots run up to the downed UFO-ship.
ROBOT
Surrender. You will not be harmed. We will take you to the waiting room for deportation.
The lunatics from other UFO-ships are led away from the battlefield. They try to kill the robots by firearms. Some of the lunatics are paralyzed and carried away. Downed patrol aircars and damaged robots are being repaired by repair robots.
Max shows up from the UFO.
MAX
God damn it, I’m on your side!
ROBOT
Sorry, Sergeant.
Robots look at each other, at Max, then again at each other and leave.
MAX
I need some paint…
Max takes out his phone and makes a call.
MAX
(by phone)
I need two cans of purple paint immediately. Bring it to…
(Max looks around)
the Einstein monument.
Kira, Mia and Sniffy emerge behind Max. There is a battle above them in the sky.
MAX
What are you doing here!
A robot with paint flies up to the monument.
MAX
Run into town, hide!
ROBOT
Your paint, sir.
Max takes the paint.
MAX
Thank you.
MIA
Honey, Sniffy fights for us. It can make things right again.
Sniffy looks at Mia with surprise.


SNIFFY
No, I’m not gonna change anything. The Creator observes, he is not a doctor. And I’m here just to watch history.
Max paints the UFO.
MAX
I need to paint the ship not to be shot down.
MIA
Honey, it sounds crazy, but Sniffy is the embodiment of God, that is, he created this world.
Max looks at Mia with his eyes wide open.
MAX
Son of God or a dog of God, it doesn’t matter. I have to fight, save our world. And you go and look for the rest of the apostles anywhere but here.
Max jumps into the UFO.
INT. UTOPIA - PRESIDENT’S FLAGMAN - DAY
The flagship hangs over the QNN module.
GENERAL FRONT
Drop the gifts!
Soldiers roll barrels of fuel to a huge hatch on the bottom of the ship.
EXT. UTOPIA - OVER THE QNN MODULE - CONTINUOUS
The barrels fall on the module which is set on fire with the laser beam from the sky. Black smoke comes out from the module.
Patrol aircars fly to the enemy spaceship and enter it through the hatch.
Fire robots fight the fire.
INT. UTOPIA - MAX’S UFO - AT THE SAME TIME
Max sees the flagship dropping the barrels of fuel. He directs the UFO to the hatch, where the police aircars are already flying to.
EXT. UTOPIA - NEAR THE QNN MODULE - AT THE SAME TIME
Mia and Kira see Max flying into the flagship.
MIA
Sniffy, help him.
SNIFFY
(sighs)
I don’t have to save the world, it’s your…
(facepalms)
This reality for the soul failed…
INT. UTOPIA - PRESIDENT’S FLAGSHIP - A LITTLE LATER
Max jumps out of the UFO on track and from 2 pistols shoots the lunatics. His ship continues flying and crushes the interior of the flagship. While guns are being recharged Max hits lunatics with grips and legs. Bullets whistle past and bounce off a super-body armor. Once the guns give a signal of being charged Max shoots. He moves to the cockpit.
INT. UTOPIA - CARGO TAXI - DAY
Alfred points at the president's flagship.
ALFRED
There is their main ship.
VICTOR
First we’ll remove this one.
Victor points at the nearest target.
VICTOR
Fly closer.
Shredder’s machine gun is wrapped to the roof of the taxi with a scotch tape. Victor sets power of the quantum uncertainty entangling device to maximum.
VICTOR
Try some entanglement shit!
He squeezes the trigger and waits until the ship gets fully covered by plasma.
VICTOR
Let’s go for the next one.
They fly to the flagship.
Victor with fluttering hair stands half-seen through the hole cut in the roof of the taxi. The moon UFO-ship approaches them. The lunatic holds his finger on the trigger.
Victor fires at his weapon. The lunatic presses the trigger again and again. The weapon doesn’t shoot. The UFO pilot is puzzled. Victor shuts his eyes and continues covering the UFO with plasma.
INT. UTOPIA - PRESIDENT’S FLAGSHIP - AT THE SAME TIME
Max gets to Bill, the general and the major.
MAX
Land the goddamned ship!
BILL
Yeah, when pigs fly!
MAX
You are already!
BILL
 Surrender son, you’ve lost anyway.
(to the general)
General, grab the prisoner of war.
Max paralyzes the navigator with the last gun. Laser stops roasting the module under the flagship. The gun sparkles and breaks down. Max throws it aside.
MAX
Oops, the battery’s dead.
GENERAL FRONT
(points at Max)
Major.
The major unbuttons the top button of his uniform and stands in the boxer's pose.
MAJOR VIRUS
Come on, lover of robots, I'll kick your ass.
Max gets close to the major
MAJOR VIRUS
Sergeant?
Max punches him on the nose at half strength.
MAX
Major. Now you’ve got your award! Go screw yourself.
The major covers his nose with both hands.
MAJOR VIRUS
Damn, that hurts!
EXT. UTOPIA - CARGO TAXI - A LITTLE LATER
ALFRED
Cut the dragon’s head.
VICTOR
It’s not a dragon? Just a small moon louse…
Victor shoots at the flagship.
Then he hears the voice of Mia and Kira from the ground, looks down and sees them.
KIRA
Victor!
EXT. UTOPIA - OVER THE QNN MODULE - CONTINUOUS
The flagman is being enveloped by plasma sparkles and cracks.
INT. UTOPIA - PRESIDENT’S FLAGSHIP - AT THE SAME TIME
The general and the major are holding their noses. Max is getting ready his fist to hit Bill on the face. Bill cringes and covers his head. The ship makes the sound of hum and crackle. Max looks around and sees how everything disappears, breaking into pieces.
EXT. UTOPIA - OVER THE QNN MODULE - CONTINUOUS
The flagship’s front moves upwards and the ship disappears, sprawling into pieces.
EXT. UTOPIA - NEAR THE QNN MODULE - AT THE SAME TIME
MIA
No-o-o!
INT. UTOPIA - FLAGSHIP2 - LATER
The remaining spaceships of lunatics get the orders from the only senior officer left the COLONEL.
COLONEL
Our enemy has used supernatural weapon. The president's flagship with the commander-in-chief on board is destroyed… Retreat. Get out of here!
All moon spaceships leave Earth.
INT. UTOPIA - NEAR THE QNN MODULE - DAY
Victor and Alfred fly to Kira, Mia and Sniffy. Victor jumps to the ground.
VICTOR
Yay, we’ve won!
MIA
What have you done!?
VICTOR
You mean this?
(pointing at the weapon on the roof of the taxi)
Don’t worry, they'll be back in a couple of hours.
SNIFFY
It’s curious, you managed to get away from my sight.
Victor smiles and can’t take his eyes off Kira. He comes up to Kira and hugs her.
VICTOR
We are together again.
ALFRED
I'm sorry, I got in with the wrong crowd because of my kinda childish outburst. You were right, politics is a dirty business. People have to decide for themselves and not to shift it on weak shoulders of elected…
MIA
Yeah, yeah, you made your point.
SNIFFY
I want to confess something to you.
Alfred jumps off Sniffy in terror.
ALFRED
Holy shit! It talks!
SNIFFY
Talks, but doesn’t bite… There’s something I want to get off my chest. In the external world I had to retrain some individuals harming the environment. So not all of people are free there. But here you are all on your own. Thus the law of free will in true nature of man is preserved.

EXT. EARTH - STREET - DAY
Bill sweeps the street. Suddenly, the sky lights up above him. He narrows his eyes and looks up. He stops being connected to the Quantum Neuronet. The "soul" shoots up into the sky like lightning. The sky darkens. Bill shakes his head and comes to life. He looks around, looks at the broom in his hands, throws the broom and kicks it.
BILL
That’s it. You’re done bustard!
Bill shakes his fist at the sky. He runs to the nearest phone and dials a number.
BILL
(by phone)
Hallo! General Front urgently.
SECRETARY (V.O.)
General? Brigadier Front is at work. Hold on.
Bill is going to hit the receiver on the box.
BILL
(with restraint)
Sure, I’ll wait.
EXT. EARTH - ASIA - AT THE SAME TIME
There is sand and dust everywhere. A group of workers repair and clean the sewer.
The secretary takes the radio phone from the mobile reception outside to general Front.
SECRETARY
Brigadier Front, phone call for you.
General Front takes the phone.
GENERAL FRONT
(by phone)
Hello, Front is on the phone.
BILL (V.O.)
How is our secret base?


GENERAL FRONT
(by phone)
We're laying the sewerage system here. There is a lot of shit… The sanitation equipment doesn’t have enough capacity to remove sewage…
INT. EARTH - THE PHONE BOOTH - AT THE SAME TIME
BILL
(with disgust on his face as if he smells the stench)
What are you talking about? Drop everything! The Neuronet bamboozled us. It is time to launch the missiles with Schizo virus. Hallo, do you copy, general?!
GENERAL FRONT (V.O.)
Missiles, schizo, the network…
EXT. EARTH - ASIA - AT THE SAME TIME
The Neuronet "Soul" leaves the head of the general.
GENERAL FRONT
(by phone)
Oh yes, I got it.
(roars)
Execute!
EXT. EARTH - THE PHONE BOOTH - AT THE SAME TIME
Bill takes the phone away from his ear.
BILL
(to himself)
Idiot.
EXT. EARTH - ASIA - A LITTLE LATER
GENERAL FRONT
Major!
Major virus runs up to the general with a cesspool hose, which continues to capture air with the chewing sound.
MAJOR VIRUS
General?
GENERAL FRONT
Are the missiles ready for launch?
MAJOR VIRUS
Aye, aye, sir.
GENERAL FRONT
Fire on the target!
MAJOR VIRUS
Where are we? Where is the base?
They look around.
EXT. UTOPIA - NEAR THE QNN MODULE - DAY
VICTOR
So you lost sight of them here and don’t control there?
SNIFFY
Yes, Professor Berg Shredder beat me. I hope they do not have time to hurt anyone.
VICTOR
You never know. I've heard there was a weapon against the QNN, the Schizo virus, which was also developed by our esteemed Professor.
EXT. EARTH - ASIA - DESERT - LATER
The car gets stuck and stalled in the sand off-road. Major Virus gets out of the car his hand over his eyes and looks into the distance. He sees the abandoned military base and drags himself to it.
MAJOR VIRUS
(mimics)
Fire on the target.
He shouts in the direction of the base.
MAJOR VIRUS
Hello, is anyone there!?
He sends up a flare and gets nothing in return. Major Virus shambles further.
EXT. UTOPIA - OVER THE QNN MODULE - DAY
Entanglement impact time runs out. The place, where Victor annihilated the first spaceship, sparkles with static. The ship emerges slowly. Police patrols surround it densely and disable the ship with electromagnetic charges.
POLICE
Surrender, you are trapped!
The flagship emerges next also surrounded by police.
INT. EARTH - ASIA - MILITARY BASE - NIGHT
Major gets to launch control, pushes the button. One warhead sprays the virus at site, the pieces of the warhead get to the window of the barrier. The major ducks. He pushes the other button. The missiles finally fly.
EXT. EARTH - SKY
The Schizo virus is carried by the missiles to the exosphere and sprayed in the QNN.
EXT. UTOPIA - NEAR THE QNN MODULE - AT THE SAME TIME
Victor and Kira kiss…
The moon falls apart, stars disappear, it becomes dark.
INT. MOON - BILL’S OFFICE - AT THE SAME TIME
Stan sits sprawled in the chair with a joint in his hand. He sees what is happening with the Universe. Everything breaks down into atoms, including himself. Stan looks around and at himself.
STAN
Now that’s what I call good weed!
INT. EARTH - APARTMENT - NIGHT
Victor and Kira are kissing in the same pose in which they were in the lost Utopia.
VICTOR
They destroyed the Neuronet here on Earth.
KIRA
So there is no parallel reality any more?
VICTOR
Let’s take a look at what’s happening on the web…
Victor turns on the computer. Sniffy appears on the screen.

VICTOR
Sniffy?
Kira comes up to Victor stands behind him and claps her hands.
KIRA
Sniffy! How are you there… here?
VICTOR
Does that world still exist? Can we turn it back?
SNIFFY
Do you want to turn back the Utopia?
Kira and Victor look at each other.
INT. EARTH
The signal goes along the wires from Victor’s computer to the basement, moves further to the ground as dendrites and forms a ganglion in the planet’s core.
EXT. COSMOS
The scale increases to the Moon, Mars and Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and the Sun… The entire solar system is surrounded by the sparkling QNN.
Dark matter of the galaxy appears from beneath the neural activity of stars and reminds gyrus, and stars resemble neurons of the neuronet.
THE END


Ðåöåíçèè
The Quantum Neuronet replaces politics, which can't solve mankind problems, and creates parallel reality, the projected future.

The human brain is used by the Quantum Neuronet as a multitask system. The dream of humanity finally comes true. People get into Utopia, anarchic socialism. They cultivate their mind in the hi-tech world on Earth, become immortal. But there are still opponents of this system, who live on the Moon. They want to regain power, keep the old world order and continue to pollute the environment.

On the real Earth humankind aims to create the bright future. Thus, people live in two realities simultaneously, without knowing it. Two lovers on the real Earth, however, meet each other in the Utopia...

27 EXT. MOON
The cities are under the domes connected by tunnels.
The environment on the moon is similar to the province of Russia, Kazakhstan or Africa of the 1990s. There is smog under the domes smudged with soot. The lighting is always artificial. Cars drive right on lunar soil covered with dog shit and garbage. Several UFO-like ships fly above them. The traffic is slow. Jalopies are parked on the roadside. Drug dealers, drunkards, bums and prostitutes walk along the streets with alcohol stores on every corner.
55 INT. MOON - MILITARY BASE - AT THE SAME TIME
Senior military commanders and Bill are in the viewing place watching Olympics with the participation of moon and earth teams on the wall-plasma TV.
ON TV
ANNOUNCER (V.O.)
Our countryman is getting ready for his performance. He examines his spear. Traditionally, the inhabitants of the Moon are victorious in javelin, shot-put…
VIEWING PLACE
Instead of one wall there is glass, behind which is a hangar full of workers, loaders, spaceships, UFO-ships, boxes, barrels of flammable liquid.
BILL
On our land we will win in the competition and then free Earth from the machine domination, put an end to human slavery. This will definitely insure my victory on the election again.
(dreamily)
And then I may even become the president of Earth.
The military men nod favorably.
BILL (CONT'D)
The policy of doing no harm to the nature and man is good for us. We have the weapon which not once saved people’s lives. And this time we will be saved from the clutches of the machine that has undertaken the provision of the god. By the sword!
HANGAR
Alfred and Stan go along the center aisle of the hangar to Bill.
STAN
It was so cool to stick it to the Polizei. Police sucks.
ALFRED
(proudly)
Of course, the winners live on the Moon.
Alfred and Stan go upstairs, walk down the hall. Sasha comes to meet them. Alfred smiles, walks past her, touching her arm.
ALFRED (CONT'D)
Hello.
SASHA
Hello.
They pass by. Stan looks back.
STAN
You picked up a good girl. If she was my girlfriend I would…
Alfred pushes him in the back.
ALFRED
Come on, do not make your dad wait for you.
VIEWING PLACE
Alfred and Stan burst into the room. Bill gets up, walks up to them.
BILL
How is it going?
STAN
Dad, we found the immortal.
ALFRED
She will be in the zoo tomorrow.
BILL
Excellent! Well done, son. I never doubted you for a second.
Alfred looks at Stan with disdain and rolls his eyes. Bill turns to the military.
BILL (CONT'D)
Well, gentlemen. The object is found. Tomorrow it must be delivered to the Moon. The operation… How do the military call it?
GENERAL FRONT
To take captive.
MAJOR VIRUS
Immortal? Only glory can make a hero immortal! Why do we need an immortal?
BILL
To take captive. Stan will be on the lookout in the zoo. And just in case major Virus with the spaceship will be waiting in the woods…
(to Major virus)
Immortality would be helpful for us. This knowledge will give us a better idea of our enemy.
69 EXT. MOON - CENTRAL SQUARE - LATER
A MAN WITH A MEGAPHONE stands on a small stage. There is a crowd of several hundred people before him.
MAN WITH A MEGAPHONE
We will not let Bill Stalward string us along.

MAN WITH A MEGAPHONE (CONT'D)
I have evidence that all the goods and food from Earth are sent to us for free. They order UFO-like airships from Earth for themselves, build spaceships, while we still drive ancient beaters. Why can’t we have socialism here? I'll tell you why. Because Bill Stalward is a thief! And all our political elite is a gang of crooks and thieves! They sell a charitable donation for money which is printed for the existence of the so-called free market - the economy of thieves!
The crowd chants, "Stalward - thief!", "We are the power." People stand with posters. It is written on them, "Stalward your second term will be in prison", "How long should we wait for change?", "Money can not replace the nature!"
MAN WITH A MEGAPHONE (CONT'D)
We have had enough of empty promises! The Moon is mired in violence and drugs. We can’t breathe here. We will repulse rotten system and won’t let Bill Stalward be elected for a second term. We are the real opposition, and we have a real choice: to flee to Earth, tail between our legs, or to fight for our second home together. Only together we are a real force. Together we will win!
Several military buses and a fire truck drive up to the protesters. Military men come out one after another holding on to each other, snatch people from the crowd one by one, carry and throw the detainees into the buses, like sacks of potatoes. The resisting ones are beaten with batons. People shout, "Shame! Shame! Shame on you!" One of the soldiers holds the hose in his hands. A jet of water washes away the remaining demonstrators from the square. General Front with a cigar in his mouth stands next to the bus and controls the situation.
GENERAL FRONT
Excellent work, all clear. Let’s move.
Fully loaded buses leave from the square.
The witnesses of the incident a PROSTITUTE and a JUNKIE stand and smoke near the square under a huge advertising poster.
On the poster there is an ad of Bill Stalward’s election campaign: a close up photo of a plant worker with a sad expression of doom on his face and a plant in the background. There is also the inscription in red letters, "We are the winners! It's your choice! For our bright future!
PROSTITUTE
I don’t understand what these idiots are so worried about. Why don’t they get the hell out of here to their Earth if they don’t like to be here.
JUNKIE
Yeah, now they’ll continue their struggle in the slammer. And it’s bad in there, you know…
PROSTITUTE
Tell me about it! By the way, whom are you gonna vote for?
JUNKIE
Billy, of course! Whom else?
They laugh. The prostitute begins to cough. The junkie slaps her on the back.
