The Alpha Intergalactic Space Station has reached critical mass in orbit.
The weight and size now pose a serious threat to Mother Earth.
In its great wisdom the Central Committee has decided to use all the resources necessary ...
to release the space station from the Earth's gravity.
Its new course is set for the Magellan Current.
Like the great explorer Magellan ...
the Alpha Station will journey into the unknown.
The symbol of our values and knowledge it will carry a message of peace and unity ...
to the farthest regions of the universe.
Our thoughts and prayers go with you.
God speed and good luck.
400 YEARS LATER
Planet Mul Star system QN34
Melo Ine.
Let us give back to nature ...
that which she gave to us.
Give this pearl to my daughter, Princess Liho.
Dad?!
It's broken.
You OK? - Yeah..
Bad dream..
No!!
But I feel better now.
Don't you think we should run through our assignment? That's the last thing I want to do.
Not very professional, Major.
I scored a perfect 200 at my last memory test.
Impressive. Unfortunately, you've forgotten something rather important today.
What that? - My birthday.
What can I do to make it up to you?
Beginning descent in three minutes. - Nothing you can get done in three minutes.
Come on. Do not start what you can't finish.
Landing on planet Kirian in five minutes.
Sorry!
Hey look..I know you're attracted to me. Why deny the obvious?
It's obvious? - Ya, sure.
You're a goody two-shoes with an Ivy League education...
are always attracted to galaxy hopping bad boys like me.
My Ivy League training taught me to steer clear from bad boys like you.
Well ya but you're not going to find better than me on the market.
Straight up. Take a good look. Handsome, intelligent..
Modest. - Brave.
Suicidal. - Determined.
Pig headed. - Faithful.
To yourself! - Yeah, and to you!
You are my partner. - Don't forget it.
Look, why don't you think about your heart instead of your head for once?
I don't want to be another name on your list of conquests thank you very much.
What are you talking about? What list? Alex, can we see the play list please?
No, no, - no, no, no, hey!
Most of those are co-workers and that's it.
Co-workers? Great, where's my picture then?
They mean nothing to me. OK I took a few detours when..
I was young. Your last detour was not so long ago.
But with you it's different -and you know that.
I want my heart to belong to you and no one else.
My heart will belong to a man who will erase his play list for me.
That's what I'm talking about. -I'm that man.
Look, we both know that you are quite a lady killer.
So why do you lose interest in a girl as soon as you win her heart?
I'm looking for the perfect woman. - But you never stopped to look.
That is not a crime. - No, it's not a crime.
Just admit it, you're scared of commitment.
Me! Scared of commitment? Are you kidding me!
Nine years in the service!
Impeccable record. Seven medals of Honor.
Never lost a partner. - Yes, - until now.
Refuel complete.
Alex, did you enter the coordinates?
I took the liberty so you both could enjoy the beach awhile longer.
Thank you. You are welcome.
You will be leaving exospace in 30 seconds.
You want to take us down? - Yes, sir.
Alex, will you pull my brain charts from the past ten minutes? I had a weird dream.
See anything abnormal? - Your cerebral activity is a little more intense than usual.
You received external waves. - Explain.
These waves do not come out of your memory. Somebody is sending you the images.
Do you know who? Where do they come from? - Negative.
They could come from the present or past and from anywhere in the universe.
Leaving exospace.
Three, two, one, exit.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy, easy, easy! - We're late.
Better late than dead! - Do you want to drive?
Put,,, put your hands back on the joystick.
Laureline, put your hands back on the joystick.
Laureline, will you please put your hands back on the joystick?
Will you stop complaining about my driving? - Yes I'm sorry, you're a great driver.
You're the best driver in the entire universe. - Oh, thank you.
Intercom activated. - Thank you.
Touchdown at Kyrian in two minutes.
Minister online.
Sir. - Agents Valerian and Laureline ...
I trust you've studied the assignment, so as soon as you land and ...
recover the converter and bring it to Alpha for a top secret operation.
The converter is the last creature of its species, so we're counting on you.
Yes, sir. Captain Gibson has further details.
And please, put on some more appropriate clothes.
Good idea. Leaving manual.
Manual disarmed. Intercom activated.
Here they come. Intruder 980.
Check the parameters. Two people on board. No parasites.
Where's the band? - You can't go on a mission dressed like that!
We supposed to mingle with the tourists, aren't we?
What do you expect us to wear? A panda suit? - Nice hat.
Major, this mission is in and out. You're enter the big market, find the suspects store ...
and team up with Sergeant Cooper.
I only work with my partner. - Hi! - We're a team.
Sergeant Laureline will arrive on the spot in exactly 20 minutes.
You have ten seconds to make the transfer.
Did not you read the memo? - Yea... of course.
You better have!
How about you read that memo one last time? - Can't hurt.
Think you can survive 20 minutes without me? - Oh, how could I possibly?
Go work. Be careful.
Oh,, you must be right...
I completely forgot,, I have a question for you.
Shoot..
What??
Will you marry me?
Not funny. - Laureline, I'm serious!
I've been thinking about what you said earlier and you're right I need to move onward and upward.
I need to commit. - Here!!
Just like that? - Why not? They sell a million things here.
I'm sure we can find a priest who will be happy to oblige.
Go.
OK let's go.
We remind you that if you want to enjoy the experience of big market ...
You must put on the equipment available to you. Thank you.
Welcome everybody, welcome please gather round, gather round.
Now my name is Thaziit and I'm your guide for today. OK!
Now who's the first time in big market?
Lovely, lovely, wonderful, wonderful.

You will not see it without your helmets or be able to touch without your gloves.
There are millions and millions of stores in big market.
Yet we have one hour.

What are hell are you doing, soldier? - Sorry, sir.
Keep an eye on the guest. - Yes, sir.
Come on everybody. Be careful down the stairs.
Come on, everyone.
Think about one million stores! - Only stuff that we can carry.
I promise.
All right, drop in 12 minutes. - I'll be there.
I found the suspects store.
Good. Sergeant Cooper will help you get in to recover the stolen property.
Major Valerian. - Sergeant Cooper.
If you've read the memo you need glasses to see the other dimension.
And a transmeta box to bring anything there.
Especially a gun. - Authorized.
Put this on.
Enter your genetic code on the front keypad...
To come back, enter your genetic code on the back keypad. Clear?
Crystal!
Good luck. - Thanks.
Hey! Tsuuri, good to see you again. - Please sit down.
Do you have what we asked for? Yea yea, but it was a toughy.
I lost a lot of personal getting this for you.
But this thing is priceless. What can you give me in exchange?
Amazing!!
I never thought I'd see one in my lifetime.
You can have hundreds of them just as soon as you give us what we came for.
Oh!! That's why I have a slight problem my friends.
If you're going to knock out copies of this baby for me, why shouldn't I do it for myself?
Hey! Hey! Easy my little lambs.
We absolutely need this converter. You know we are fighting for a noble cause.
I know, and I'm fighting for a noble cause too. Mine!
You have ten seconds to drop your guns.
Showtime.
Five...
four...
three...
two...
one... oops!
Federal agent Valerian.
Sorry to interrupt this great deal but I'm also here for a great cause. It's called the law!
Hey, haven't I seen you two before?
Hey! I'm not running a tea room here. What do you want from me?
Igon Sirruss, you stand accused of stealing of a Mu converter belonging to the Federation.
But before I drag your ass in I have recover the stolen property.
All right, How you doing? - almost there.
Valerian, I'll be at your left at three o'clock.
Three meters away. - Got you.
Guys, don't move!
Now take it nice and easy and push it into the box.
Converter in the box. - Copy.
Undetected. Back to base. Good job.
Copy that. Valerian, get out of there. - On my way!
I'll find you, Federal Agent Valerian.
Wherever you will are in the universe. I'll find you!
And I will kill you. - Good luck!
Valerian is in trouble. - The mission is failing. Keep going.
Cooper, cover him. - Copy that!
Seek and Destroy. Top Priority Target photograph to follow.
Valerian, how are we doing? - Good, I think I lost them.
Are you thirsty? - No thank you.
I'm to your left, joined to freeway. - My keypad is broken.
Do you need energy? - No thanks.
The box is broken. I can't get my arm back.
Hey, do you need a lawyer?
Federal agent on duty. Leave me alone.
Oh No! - Oh Yes!
Valerian, what are you doing?
Very funny. What's your name?
Da.
Come here. Come here. Try this. It's way more fun.
Hello!
Yeah, hey, there's a time for everything, kid. Don't you have homework to do?
OK, go get yourself cleaned up. Run to mommy!
Mommy? - Da!
Watch out.
To receive your purchases ...
Place your items in the transmatter box and enter your DNA code.
Thank you.
Amazing. And so practical.
Useless, you mean. You do not even know what to do with the darn thing.
Don't be such a grouch. It is decorative. Try to be civilized once.
Civilized? Yea sure!
Hey! Hey! Thanks a lot! - Sorry.
I did not see the wall. - Need some help?
I just need you to fix my arm thing.
I suppose that since you asked my hand, you should probably get yours back first.
Is that a yes? - Don't move!
How can I help you if you keep moving? - Please Hurry up, please!
Please keep still!
We have been detected.
Sorry to bother you, I'm out of ammo and there are three headed my way.
Give me one second. - I don't have a second.
OK you're good. - Thank you.
I do not know what I would do without you.
To retrieve your purchases ...
Place your items in the transmatter box and enter your DNA code.
Thank you.
Fetch!
You've been detected. Keep moving, don't change course.
What are we supposed to do? - Run!
Zito, cover them. - Yes, sir.
Get in.
Come on, get in. - I'm coming. I'm coming!
Zito, get that thing off our backs!
I got this.
Guys, take it out! Take it out!
Alex, we need you right now.
Let's go!
Shoot! He ruined my dress!
Alex, I'm going to take over on manual. Prepare to enter exospace.
Do you know the coordinates of the rendezvous? - Yep, I just deciphered them.
Alex, what was that? - We have a stowaway.
Great. Hold on.
Major Valerian, you're running nearly 20 minutes late.
Yep well time flies when you're having fun. - We have the Mul converter.
Excellent! Now perhaps you can tell me what you are doing 17 light years from you rendezvous.
It sounds pretty grim when you put it like that, but lets say we'll be there in nine minutes?
Does that sound better?
I will inform the commander that you are behind schedule and pass on you're apologies.
Ya, you do that.
Leaving exospace in five seconds.
Somebody's going to land with a bang!
OK, lets have a look at you.
Now don't be a tiger. Come on.
Do be scared. I've got you. Come on.
Hello.
Wow! You have incredible eyes!
You're a little scabby. So why don't we get you a nice treatment so you can get your mojo back.
Sound good? Come on.
Some high grade uranium and you'll be as good as new.
Hang on tiger.
Alex. Analyze this, please.
Power 20 megatons!
Indeed. There's 10 times more power in that pearl than in our entire ship.
Where does it come from? - From Mul ...
a planet that was in the constellation QN34.
Was? - Yes.
The planet no longer exists and hasn't for 30 years.
Let's see what it looked like.
Abundant vegetation, a few primal species, but of no particular interest.
Well the one in my dream was pretty... - interesting.
Zoom in. - ACCESS REFUSED
Use our access code. - I'm afraid won't be enough, Major.
Access is restricted. - To what rank?
General. Five stars.
The creature in my dream, she had a pearl just like that on her neck.
Noted, Major.
Leaving exospace in one minute.
He is very cute you know.
And a real charmer. You may have some competition.
I'm fine with competition.
Hey, I'm still waiting for your answer.
I know I can be full of myself sometimes, but I'm dead serious about my proposal.
We have to complete the mission, Major.
There's still the top secret part to attend to.
Or is your perfect memory failing you again?
Seat belts.
You know what?
I'm going to ask for 10 days leave right now ...
and then I'm going to take you to the most beautiful beach in the whole universe. A real beach this time.
The perfect place for a honeymoon. - Ten seconds.
The honeymoon comes after the wedding. You know that right?
Really? - Yep.
Three, two, one, decelerating.
Whoa, Whoa, Alex! What are you doing? - Sorry, too much traffic.
Do you want me to drive? - No, no, no thanks.
Welcome to Alpha, the city of thousands of planets.
Alex, can you update us? - I'd be delighted to.
The Alpha Station has grown 7% this year.
and since it left the terrestrial orbit, it has traveled almost 700 million miles.
Population? - Almost 30 million.
3,236 species from the four corners of the universe live on board ...
pooling their knowledge and cultures.
Over 5,000 languages spoken, not counting the various computer languages.
Demographics?
To the south are the submerged parts with 800 species living in all kinds of liquids.
Such as the peaceful Poulong farmers, who grow cobalt.
To the north we have gaseous lands dominated by the Azin-Mo ...
who's extreme sensitivity makes them specialist in neuroscience and molecular components.
They can build cells of any kind.
To the east of them, the large colony of the Omelites.
They control information technology, finance and banking.
Finally to the west in a pressurized atmosphere...
we have nine million humans and compatible species.
Home sweet home.
The economy has been in shambles for a year.
Do you want a quick summary? - No, that's enough excitement for one day.
Intruder XB982. Authorization to dock in section 1. VIP access.
Oh! We're famous!
You are late, Major.
Sorry, sir. Things got a bit more complicated than we expected.
Prepare for the worst, and you will not be disappointed. And neither will I.
I'll keep that in mind, sir.
And you, did you check the converter?
He's in great shape. - May I ask what's going on?
Follow me.
Declassify.
A year ago we discovered a radioactive zone right in the middle of the station.
No signals of any kind could get through it. We sent several probes. Non came back.
So we sent a special unit.
Their mission was to get as close to the zone as possible....
and define the nature of the threat. - And?
No one came back alive.
Any idea who attacked them? - No.
This is the situation today.
The air in zone is unbreathable, highly contaminated.
And it continues to grow, like a tumor.
A tumor we have to cut out as soon as we can.
If we don't and this cancer keeps spreading it will destroy Alpha in less than a week.
Commander, who has any reason to destroy Alpha? Practically every living species is represented here.
This is a weapon of mass destruction. And behind every weapon is a killer..
It doesn't matter who it is, it's a threat to us all it must be eliminated.
This way.
Commander. - Minister.
The Council has given you a green light ...
but we strongly recommend that international law ...
and the civil rights of all concerned must be respected.
Of course. I shall see to it personally.
Agents Valerian and Laureline will be responsible for your personal protection.
Sir, that won't be necessary.
I have a unit of K-TRON that I personally trained.
It is a direct order from the government, commander.
The two agents need to report of the outcome of the operation.
As you wish.
Gentlemen, lady, good luck.
Since we have to be on the same team, would mind giving us an update on the operation?
I'll be speaking to the Security Council in a few minutes.
You'll have all the details you need to know.
This is going to be a lot of fun.
Hey handsome! You're looking a lot better.
You know I remember learning about you guys in school.
I'm dieing to find out if what they say is true.
Wow! I need to take you shopping with me.
Wait for me here.
Anything? - Not yet.
We haven't got a peep out of him, but I trying something new.
One more hour.
If he hasn't talked, finish him off. - Yes, sir.
If anything goes wrong with this operation ...
you know what you have to do.
Wow. Looks like you're taking my protection very seriously.
His protection actually. He is one of a kind.
Are you sure he needs to come along on such a dangerous mission?
The Mul converter is capable of reproducing any conceivable product in record time.
It will come in very handy if we have to negotiate.
With an army of K-TRONS under your command I am surprised that negotiating is on the table.
You take care of my security Major. I'll take care of any negotiations.
Give it here. - I don't think that is a very good idea.
For your personal security why don't you let agent Laureline look after this little guy for safe keeping.
I don't think so Major, it's against protocol. I am the highest ranking...
That animal is the last living specimen of his species. The whole universe is after it.
That's why Major Valerian would rather I hold onto it.
Fine.
Just don't leave my sight.
Commander, the Council is waiting.
OK, let's do this.
Stay here.
On route to the meeting. - Received, General.
You stay on backup. I'll take the front line.
Yes, sir.
Delegates, thank you for answering the call so quickly.
As the elected representative of the Human Federation, I have called this meeting of the Alpha Security Council ...
to update you regarding the state of emergency we find ourselves in.
As you all know... the heart of this historic Alpha Station
has been contaminated by a force who's power we do not know the origins of.
The human Federation has launched several small military attacks in order to ascertain the severity of the threat ...
but these have all ended in failure. And with some significant loses among our troops.
In light of this alarming and growing threat to us all, the Human Federation is seeking ...- Is everything OK?
Your missing out some. I'm having a lot of fun. - Don't worry, we'll be on the beach soon.
I can now answer your questions about the details of the operation.
13th Battalion, Special Assault Division.
There she is. - I told you she was there.
This is all I need! - What?
Doghan-Daguis. Oh!
Nice to see you again. - Agent Laureline.
You look splendid as ever. - Just tell me what you want?
We go where work calls. - We speak 5,000 languages.
Which can be handy. - At a party like this.
Do you need our services? - I have my own personal translator.
Now move! Ask them if they have any Intel on Mul.
Planet Mul, ring any bells? - A highly sensitive matter.
Best person to speak to... - Major Samk.
Alex?
Major Samk died a year ago.
Well yes, a most curious demise. - It was not fully explained.
Murder some might call it.
Major Samk was an expert on planet Mul.
He took all that precious information ... - To the grave with him.
What a waste.
If you receive any Intel on this planet, we're interested. - It would be a pleasure to work for you, Laureline.
Before we go - We would like to give you...
some info! - For free.
For free? A huh! You guys must be sick.
The converter is precious. - And highly sought after.
Mercenaries will come to retrieve it. - And sooner than you think.
What kind of mercenaries? - The first tip was free.
You must pay for more. - But you get a discount, of course.
General, we have an alert in Section B.
Alex, what is that? A dozen individuals approaching.
What kind of individuals? - Undetectable, for now.
It appears your info just lost its value. Now get out of my face!
Move pigeons! - They called us pigeons.
What is a dove? - I don't know.
Where are they coming from? - Everywhere. They're going through the walls.
I need to know the attackers identity. - Everyone, please evacuate.
I can not read their DNA. What?
Sir, the door is locked. We can't get out.
Laureline. - I'm coming.
Evacuate the commander. - Copy that.
General, secure that door. Commander? - What's going on?
We need to evacuate. Come on
It's not working. Alex, open the door.
What was that? - The Pearls. They took the commander.
Here, take this, free the general, go to the command room and track them from there. - OK!
Are we back to full power? - Yes, just now.
Everybody, back to your posts.
Status of Major Valerian. Level 5 emergency. - Confirmed.
Valerian, I got you on visual. - OK but I lost track of them. Try and locate the commander.
OK, I got it. He's near the docking bay. So they must be headed towards a vessel.
OK. What's the shortest way there? - north north east 113 degrees.
60, 70, 80, 90 ...
That leads me straight into a wall. - You said you wanted the shortest way.
It may be the shortest way, but it's not the easiest.
Keep going. You're almost there.
They've reached another ship. No tags, unknown model.
Valerian, they've boarded. Change of plan. 140 degrees east. Alex will pick you up.
81? - That's it, 81. Straight.
Whoa, whoa, 81? You sure? - Yes I'm sure.
Because I just went through it and I'm falling through space.
Sorry my mistake. It was number 18. - That's OK. We all make mistakes.
Any idea how to get me out of here? Alex, pick him up at 81.
I am in. Close it.
Bring on that beach!
I'm not sure where you come from, but I know where I'm going to send you.
Valerian, hold still. We're analyzing his system of defense.
Major, their protective shield is too sophisticated, you won't get through. - I'm going to try something bigger.
Laureline, which one has the Commander on board? - 9 O'clock, lower level. Hurry up!
That's the one. Don't lose it!
Valerian, be careful.
The Intruder is too big to follow them. I'm going to take the SkyJet.
OK, good.
OK Valerian, you are near to the dead zone. Real them in before I lose you.
I'm working on it.
Valerian, you need to go faster.
Valerian you have 10 seconds before I lose you. - Take that.
Who is the clever one now? - Valerian you've got five seconds.
Oh no, not me.
Valerian? - I can't slow them down.
Come on.
Entering Red Zone. - Valerian, do you hear me?
Laureline, I losing control... Laureline!
Valerian, answer me! Valerian, answer me!
Major, respond. Alex, can you help?
There is too much interference. I lost the major's signal.
Valerian? Valerian?
Valerian, do you copy? We've lost him. - Sergeant where you going?
To grab my SkyJet.
You won't be going after him. - Why not?
That zone is under enemy control. Too dangerous.
An enemy that we don't know. - An enemy that just attacked us.
By putting us to sleep and not hurting a single one of us. Why would they spare our lives?
Give me one good reason!
I do not know. - Valerian has seen these creatures before.
They come from planet Mul. - Planet Mul was destroyed 30 years ago.
You're not making any sense. - The mission, it doesn't make sense sir. Someone is lying to us.
And while you find out who, I'm going to go save my partner.
General, Major Valerian is an invaluable agent. You cannot afford to lose him.
No, I can't afford to lose both of you in one day. Restrain her.
Put us on high alert, and find me the commander.
Yes, sir.
Listen, I don't want to tell you guys how to do your job but don't you think you should cuff me?
Firstly, because it's protocol, and secondly because I'm very tempted to escape.
Good job, boys.
We need to talk.
It's dark in here.
If you don't help me find Valerian, this bullet is going to find you. You go first.
No, no, no! - To avoid such situations ...
We share all our information ... - Divided three ways.
Kill one of us ... - and you kill the information.
What a pity that would be. - OK, you're going to have to give me credit cause I don't have much on me.
How tiresome!
If the commander were here ... - he could use the converter to pay us.
But he was kidnapped ... Precisely because he had the converter on him.
Unless for security reasons ... - Someone else has it.
How did you get that info?
It is not info. - But deduction.
We know how humans work. - They are so predictable.
Clearly you've never met a woman.
OK, OK, OK. Calm down. - What do you want to know?
Valerian's exact location. - Hard to tell!
But we know how to track him down... - With complete precision.
How much? - 100 baduls each.
Forget about it. This is all I have.
Diamonds are less valuable than baduls. - The negotiation is over!
We trust you. - And under the circumstances...
We accept it, it's a deal.
Good. Now take me to Valerian. Now! - Follow us.
Philips, go to the place where the major disappeared. Milo, track down agent Laureline and bring her in.
Neza, inform the minister. - Yes, sir.
Give me a few minutes, please.
Declassify. I need all information about planet Mul.
Who has authority on this file?
ACCESS REFUSED
Here we are then. - I think this place is nothing but nothing.
Here.
I have a bad feeling about this idea.
Bingo.
What do you want?
We want to fishing. - For a cortex jellyfish.
A male, if possible.
It's not the season. - Here.
Males are harder to catch. - And here.
Welcome aboard.
Uh, that thing. Down. Down, the thing, down. - This?
There. Bromosaurs.
Are they dangerous? - Not really. Just be careful they don't inhale you.
There. That one is a male.
How can you tell? - They are much smaller than the females.
How do you know that that one has a jellyfish on it? - All males do.
The Bromosaurs blow out pure water. Which the jellyfish can't do without it.
That's why they live on them all year round and that's where they get their hypersensitivity from.
Soft as silk. - Can I help? I am a good driver.
Belt. - What?
Seat Belt. - I thought you said they weren’t aggressive?
Except when you take their little buddies. - Great.
I'm Bob by the way. Hi.
There's no time to lose. - The cortex jellyfish is extremely fragile.
Show it images of Valerian ... - And it will show you what it has seen.
Sure, but how? -You have to put it on ...
On your head. - down to your shoulders
You're kidding! - Never when we're working.
So it's kind of osmosis ... - You'll be able to communicate?
But be very careful... - Not to stay under there for more...
Then one minute. - Because then it starts to feed ...
On your memories. - Great.
Anything else I should know before I voluntarily put my head in its mouth?
Actually, that's not his mouth.
You can begin. - Good luck.
Don't forget, one minute. - And not a second longer.
I know I have it in here somewhere. Ah, there we are!
There we go.
This is so exciting.
Valerian?
I only work with my partner.
Valerian.
How can I make it?
30 seconds.
Valerian.
Laureline, I'm losing control.
Valerian.
- Laureline.
40 seconds.
Valerian.
50 seconds. Get out now. - 55 seconds.
Valerian.
Valerian
Careful.
Incredible. - One minute and 10 seconds.
A record.
L. 630. E.
SUL deactivated.
Any idea what that means? - Level 630 East.
Most likely a sulphate pipe. - That's deactivated apparently.
OK, thanks. - Do you need a detailed map?
We biologically traced Sergeant Laureline here. - What's she doing by the Galana Sea?
No idea, sir. She stole a vehicle. She headed into the Red Zone and we lost track of her.
She must have located the Major.
General, there are three civilians here who claim that they have information that might interest you.
Show them in.
You three - Our humble respect, General.
May you be healthy... - and prosperous.
What do you want? - We have information of the utmost importance.
But we're ready to sell. - 100 baduls.
Each.
Shoot.
Valerian
Going away, lizard.
Valerian, Valerian do you hear me?
Valerian wake up. Valerian please stay with me, Valerian come on.
What are you doing here? I came to get you! You totaled your SkyJet remember?
Yeah, I lost it in a curve.
You mean you almost died. You're lucky I found you.
What about the commander. Do we know where he is?
There's no sign of him. Their spaceship went into a Red Zone.
We've got to find him.
Come on let's go. - Wait.
Is that all? - What do you mean?
No thank you, no well done? - I would have done the same for you.
You little prick. Whoa, hey, hey, hey.
I trusted you more than I trusted myself. Isn't that what you wanted?
No.
You are an amazing woman Loraline. No wonder I want to marry you.
Why would I want to marry an ungrateful conceited... - Because you can't live without him.
I mean look, if he wanders off, you go chasing after him.
I was just doing my job, Major. Now will you please let me get back to the mission?
Yeah, sure.
Sergeant.
Captain, what's going on here? - I report directly to the Commander Arun Filitt.
I do not need... - I am General Okto-Bar.
In the absence of the commander, I am in charge of Alpha. Arrest this man.
And release that one.
I'm apologize for your mistreatment.
We will take you to a jail, but our doctors will take care of you.
Help us.
If you need my help, then you have to tell me everything you know.
But first off, why are you attacking us? - Because you have ...
what we need.
Didn't you say that the girl in your dream had a converter just like mine?
That's right. - If the animals are native to their planet ...
then surely it understandable that they want to retrieve the last living specimen.
Yeah and they probably kidnapped the commander because they thought he was carrying it.
If they find out he is not, then I'll be at the top of there list.
Don't worry I'm not letting you go anywhere. - No, I'm not letting you go anywhere.
Pretty butterfly. - Sure, but what ever you do do not touch them.
Why? - Because some ...
Valerian
Laureline.
I'm coming.
Let me go fatty. Come on put me down.
Sorry, I'm inedible.
Valerian
Major, I'll can read your signal now. - Valerian.
Alex, ideas?
The only way to get in without creating a severe diplomatic incident ...
is to pass as one of them. I suggest you try to find a glamopod.
Thanks, Alex.
Did you run a DNA search? - Yes.
It didn't match any of the 800 million species we have in the database.
Well how is that possible? - Either it belongs to a completely unknown species.
Or? - This species was deliberately deleted from the database.
General, the major has resurfaced on the edge of the Red Zone.
In which district is he in? - Paradise Alley.
Notify all units.
All units:Search Alert. Major Valerian. Not dangerous. Find and assist.
Can I help you? - Sure you can, move.
Good. Now slide your gun into my holster.
Hold it there.
Hey babe.
Looking for a ride?
Do you want to fly? - I'm allergic to feathers.
My hero. - You got the wrong guy.
I do not speak French.
Hello
Seek a Taste in Paradise Alley.
Pervert. Hey, cowboy.
You've come to the right spot. The best damn club of the whole space station. I'll be with you in a second.
I'm looking for something special. - Of course. Whatever you want, I've got it.
I'm not so sure. - What do you want?
What are you looking for? - A glamopod.
You are so lucky. I have the best one in the whole universe.
Come on.
Hey, I work for the government.
If you want to avoid a diplomatic incident, you'd better let me go right now.
Listen, I didn't come here to get a makeover. I need to leave, do you understand?
I can't believe this. I'm not here to try on a stupid dress!
Call your chief or a translator so we can at least communicate.
Do you understand what I am saying?
This is where you lose your hardware soldier boy. - I'd rather hold on to it, I'm on duty.
Unfortunately, rules are rules and this is a place where we make love, not war.
Here's your ticket.
Don't lose it. - Can we make a deal?
Let's not talk about this, can we?
Let's talk pleasure. What kind of music do you like?
You like Techno, macro, bio, nano?
I'm more retro. - Me too. The oldies are the best.
Sit down, relax and enjoy the show.
I do not know how long I keep this.
So what will it be, soldier? - Look that was really cool, but not exactly what I was looking for.
I have a lot more in my stock. Just say what you have in mind.
I have a lot on my mind, but I do not have time for this. I'll pass.
Listen, I have a problem and really need your help. - Did not you like my performance?
No, no, yeah! I loved it! Absolutely!
I started at age four. I learned my trade at the top schools.
I can play anyone or anything. - I'm sure you can.
I know all of Shakespeare by heart if you want. Do you like poetry? - Yes, yes.
Rimbaud? Verlaine? - Challenging choice.
"I'm afraid of a kiss ...
"like a kiss of a bee."
"I suffer and light awake, without rest. "
"I'm afraid of a kiss."
How about I tell you what I really have in mind?
Stop shouting. - How do you get a gun?
Major Valerian, I'd advise you to put that gun down. And I'd advise you to sit down.
OK, OK, Please no don't shoot me. - What hell is that?
This is you when you were 10. You're not gonna shoot yourself are you?
Can you go back to normal please?
No not this normal, the other one. OK, OK!
Thank you. What's your name? - Whatever you want, sweetie.
I do not have time for your games. Now come on tell me what your name is.
Bubble.
Look Bubble, I lost my partner. If you help me find her, I will set you free.
What good is freedom when you're an illegal immigrant, far away from home?
I work for the government. I'll get you an ID pass, you have my word.
When I leave, Jolly will kill me. - Jolly won't kill anybody ever again.
Now what do you say, Bubble?
Did you really like my performance? - The best I ever saw!
Thank you. - You're welcome.
So a, I'm going to take ten. You two keep an eye on old soldier boy eh?
He seems like a real freak to me.
OK Bubble, get off. - Alright, alright, I'm doing it.
Are you good?
Thanks.
You want to go in there?
Yes, but no foreigners are allowed. The only way is to look like one of them.
Oh no, no, no, never played a Boulan Bathor.
What? Are you an artist or not?
Yes, but I need time to get in my role, and capture my movements, the behavior ...
then we repeat, and couple of rehearsals ...
A little improve never hurt anyone! Lets go.
Alright.
Turn around.
This is not right.
Time for a manicure.
Do not you think the hat might be a little over the top?
Never mind.
Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?
Give me a second to get the hang of it!
Hurry, people are staring at us. - I told you I needed rehearsals!
This is a heavy role.
Lucky us, you're doing good.
General, we picked up the Major's trail again.
Finally. Where is he?
In Boulan Bathor territory. - In the B...?
Nobody gets in there. - And definitely not out of there.
We'll need reinforcements. Inform the minister. - Yes, sir.
So how'd you come to lose partner? Because I'm stupid
What do you mean? - All I do is flirt and joke.
Ohhh! Better to be cool than to being honest. - Story of my life.
How young where you when you lost your mom?
Please don't go there right now. - It's OK to be vulnerable sometimes.
Can we stop this and get back to the mission please? And don't touch anything.
Well it wouldn't hurt you to show some weakness.
I'm not good at that. It will make her feel important.
Believe me she's already the most important thing in my life.
I think he wants us to join the group. - I'm not sure that's a good idea.
It doesn't look like he's giving us much choice.
What's going on?
I guess it's lunch time for Emperor Boulan the third.
Busing tables! Every artist's worst nightmare.
Never mention this to anyone, OK?
Thank you're lucky stars you're not the main course.
I'm going to be sick!
There she is. - Wow, you're right, she's a ten.
Hi!
Something's wrong.
How about I do a little dance to create a diversion? - No thanks.
You guys are in big trouble!
I think we should go. - I think you should let me handle this.
Valerian - I'm in here.
Hey!
You're going to be a good boy, OK! Down!! - Stay!
Laureline, It's me, Valerian.
What?
Bubble, get off of me. - Yes you're right, let's go!
Excuse me, Your Highness.
Hey baby!!
I deserve that.
Watch out.
This is a lady. You can't fight her.
Let's talk about this. You're going to hurt yourself!
I warned you.
That's what I call a partner.
Bravo. That was amazing. I'm very impressed.
Hey! - Hey.
Trust me on this.
The Third Regiment is approaching sir.
Any news from our agents? - None.
And the commander, any ransom demand? - Negative.
The minister is online. - OK.
My respect, minister.
General, you've been authorized by the Council to assume command of this operation.
Congratulations. Thank you, sir.
But to fulfill my mission I will need full access to Commander Filitt 'data.
According to the regulations, that is impossible without his explicit agreement.
The commander may well be dead.
If I am to succeed in my new assignment I need to know everything.
Access granted. Thank you, sir.
Declassify.
Request file on the planet Mul. - Request Authorized.
"The conflict in the southern Tenant."
"The War Against The Southern Korn led to the destruction of planet Mul. "
Tell me more about the planet.
"The planet was uninhabited."
Who's in charge of this operation?
ACCESS REFUSED
This does not smell good.
I told you there was a door.
Someone didn't look over the plans before they came rushing in, as usual.
What, you'd rather I show up after the main event?
I'd rather you took me someplace other than a giant trash can.
Bubble?
Bubble where are you? Where is she? - She was right behind us.
I'm here.
What's wrong? - I must have been injured in the fight.
Bubble! -Tell me what to do.
Nothing you can do.
Anyway where I'm from, life is more painful than death.
Don't say that.
Unfortunately, it's true.
Life's a drag when you don't have an identity to call your own.
You do have an identity.
You are the greatest artist I've ever seen!
I thank you.
It was my pleasure performing for you.
I leave you my kingdom. Take good care of it.
I will.
But most importantly... - Yes?
Take good care of her.
Love her without measure.
Because in love, it can be reckoned.
Let's go.
All battleships have docked General. - Good.
I want Section One operative as soon as possible. What are those K-TRONs doing there?
The commander programmed them personally. They can't be deactivated.
Great. That's all we need.
Do you have any idea where we're going? - Yeah sure... I mean...
I guess. - You're sure, or you guess?
Look, I know it sounds strange, but it ...
The princess..., she's guiding me.
The princess... She's guiding you?
Yea..., look, it's hard to explain..but...
It's like she's been with me the whole time.
Wait.
You mean to tell me that you've had a woman inside of you...
..since the beginning?
Laureline, can we just keep going please? - Sure!
Ladies first.
Ha!... Hilarious!
Captain Kris. Section one operational, General.
Proceed. A unit of K-TRONS will join you.
That won't be necessary. - Commander’s orders, not mine.
Copy that.
Move on!
We've been manipulated from the start. - What do you mean?
We're in the middle of the Dead Zone, and we can breathe properly.
It seems there's no sign of contamination.
The commander is fully aware of what's behind this so-called evil.
What?
Pearls.
My name is Tsuuri. I am the Emperor's son.
Great. How about you introduce us to Daddy? - He is expecting you.
Try to contact the General. Get everybody down here. I buy us some time.
How about you run for backup for a change?
Unbelievable!
Follow me.
I'd like you to meet my father.. the emperor.
My name is Haban-Limai, and this is my wife Aloe.
Melo Ine. We are pleased to welcome you here.
My son sensed the presence of his sister, Princess Liho-Minaa, in you.
It seems she chose you.
What do you mean?
At the moment of parting, Pearls leave all the energy left in their bodies in the form of a wave
which travels through space and time. Sometimes it finds a benevolent host.
Liho-Minaa chose you to be the guardian of her soul.
Told you.
My daughter.
I'm so happy to see you. - Same here.
I mean...
she is too.
What exactly happened to you and your people?
Our planet was a true paradise, on which we lived in harmony with the elements.
Our main activity was fishing for the pearls, that possessed phenomenal energy.
They fertilized our land, controlled the wind and tides.
Three times a year we gave to the earth what the sea had given us.
We lived like this in harmony for centuries and centuries.
Until the day of the Apocalypse.
In the sky over our planet... other people blindly fought out a brutal war ...
a war between people we didn't even know.
Missiles loaded, sir. - Engage fusion missiles.
Are you confirming, sir? - Yes I do.
At your command.
By the grace of God.
Your daughter died during the battle. - Yes, like six million others.
What happened after the explosion?
We drifted in space for many years.
On board a vessel we salvaged from the wreckage and that was half destroyed.
This new environment was quite different from ours...
and at first we needed time to understand it...
absorbing the vast knowledge stored in it's database.
We learned languages and mathematics ...
Physics, Chemistry and Philosophy ...
We learned about the millions of planets and stars and moons ...
in a universe we never knew existed.
And we learned of the countless species who inhabit this universe ...
including humans, the ones who destroyed our planet.
Time has not dimmed the memories of our loss ...
but it has allowed us to let go of our anger towards those responsible.
Then, one day ...
we were picked up by scrap dealers traveling the galaxy.
After a few years, their hold was full.
And they went off to sell their cargo on a huge construction site.
Alpha. - Yes.
The city of a thousand planets where for hundreds of years ...
so many species have shared their knowledge and intelligence with each other.
In the shadows of Alpha, we lived undetected ...
all the while watching and learning from each of them.
Until we had acquired both the knowledge and the materials to build a vessel of our own.
Our planet is gone forever ...
but with what we have learned we are now able to replicate and restore our lost world.
Amazing! - There are only two things that we lack.
A Mul converter.
And a pearl.
The only one Tsuuri managed to salvage.
We are survivors, but that makes us witnesses
Witnesses of a past that humans want to erase and forget forever.
We can forgive, but how can we forget?
So we left you no choice but to steal the converter.
And Tsuuri hired a professional. - Igon Siruss.
But Major Valerian intervened and retrieves the converter.
Which left you with only one choice:
kidnap the commander, and force him to tell you the truth.
You now know our story now. Our destiny is in your hands.
Major, arrest these creatures immediately. They kidnapped me. They are extremely dangerous.
They are Pearls, from the planet Mul.
I heard their ridiculous story. That's impossible, Mul was uninhabited.
Their existence proves the contrary, doesn't it?
I am telling you there was no life on the planet. The detectors were categorical.
Arrest them! - How can you be so sure?
Because... I read the report ... - And you were on board.
Yes. Yes, I was on board.
And we had much more serious things to worry about it.
Our cruisers were being decimated. We lost 500,000 soldiers in a day.
It was complete carnage!
You were so preoccupied that you didn't see the detectors indicating signs of life on the planet.
Or even worse, perhaps you knew that their planet was inhabited and you sacrificed it?
Commander, the planet is inhabited.
By primitive life forms. No, commander.
I have detected a complex language and a huge cerebral energy.
Major ...history is on the march ...
... and neither you nor a bunch of savages are going to stand in the way.
So when you realized that survivors from the planet Mul were living in the heart of Alpha ...
You decided to try and erase any trace of your mistake?
rather than accept the consequences.
I want no survivors.
And you've destroyed all the evidence which Major Samk had against you.
What do you expect me to do? It was the only way.
Admitting to an error on this scale would have exposed our government to colossal damages and compensation claims.
Our economy would never recover.
In one instance we would have lost our supremacy and our leadership.
There would have been immediate sanctions ...
And it's a pretty good bet that we would have been banished from Alpha ...
and denied access to the greatest market of knowledge and intelligence.
Is that what you would have wanted for your fellow citizens?
Leading them into ruin and degradation, forcing them to go backwards 1,000 years?
Our Council saw fit to protect our citizens first and foremost. Is that not it's duty?
And mine? And yours!
Or would you rather risk wrecking our economy for the sake of a bunch of ...
Savages?
You are totally under the influence of these creatures. - Do not confuse the issue.
He's the threat. He's the enemy.
You are your own worst enemy, commander.
Unless you make peace with your past, you won't have a future.
Major ...
I order you to arrest this man.
Can we talk man to man for a second?
Wha.. What are you doing?
I taught him how to do that!
Nice talk.
Move on, move on, move on!
Section One is entering the Red Zone. - Prepare Section Two for an advance order.
Look, this is a lot of fun, but we've got to report back to our people.
Here. That's yours.
We'll make this right, I promise. We'll get this guy out of here.
Whoa, whoa, what are you doing? - I'm giving them back the converter.
No, no.
The Pearl is useless without this. - Yes but...
Will you give us a second please?
That converter is government property, and most likely the last one in the whole universe.
So you buy into the commanders: "What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine too?"' philosophy?
No, I buy into my oath of allegiance. We have no authority to hand it over.
The Federation messed up, and must make amends.
Yes I agree, but that's not for us to decide. Leave it to the courts.
They're 18 light years away Valerian. Only we can make this right.
Laureline, I'm a soldier.
I play by the rules. That's what makes me who I am.
I know.
That's why I don't want to marry you, because you really don't know what love is.
Now come on, this has nothing to do with love. - That's where you're wrong!
Love is more powerful than anything else, Valerian.
It breaks all rules and laws and overpowers any army or government.
Just look at her.
For one second, put yourself in her position. She lost all of her people and her child.
And she willing to forgive. That's real love.
It's the trust you place in someone else and ...
and I thought I could be that someone else for you.
But clearly... - You can.
You are.
I'd die for you.
I'm not asking you to die for me ... I'm asking you to trust me.
Alright, give it to them.
Thank you!
We are to blame for the loss of your planet ...
and we'd be honored to help you to get it back.
Here.
Meli Mana.
That means 'thank you.'
Spread out.
Captain, we locked on to you.
Is there any sign of contamination or radiation?
No trace of either.
That doesn't make any sense.
Did you say you wanted to go to the beach?
Our daughter made a good choice.
She can rest in peace now.
We must leave now.
May you and your people live in peace, wherever you may venture in space and time.
Explosives in place General. We are operational.
Received. Evacuate the zone. You have four minutes.
Copy that.
Father, there are hundreds of soldiers all around the spaceship.
We'll be gone in a minute. - The troops are in position you don't have a minute.
There's no means of communication with the outside world? - If we stop jamming signals we are defenseless.
If you don't allow me to communicate with them you'll be defenseless forever.
Just one call.
Disarm the signal. - Thank you.
The wall has stopped moving. Something is going on.
Maintain your position. We are analyzing the data.
I can't believe they'd do that. - The General follows procedures.
I hate procedures.
Captain the data shows that they've built some kind of vessel beyond the wall.
Contact with the enemy.
Give me a physical description.
The same creatures who kidnapped the commander.
Are they showing any signs of hostility?
Melo Ine.
Not really.
Are they armed? - No.
General, we are picking up a signal from the 2005 Destiny module.
What??
It sounds like Major Valerian.
Patch him through. - Major, you are online with the general.
Yeah, Major Valerian and Sergeant Laureline. We are alive and inside the wall.
Call off the assault immediately! - Major I can't read your DNA code.
You know the procedures. I have to be certain it's you.
There is no time for dumb ass procedures.
We are here with a whole species of people you've already wiped out once: the Pearls of planet Mul.
So tell your men to back off before you commit a second genocide.
That's definitely her temper. - Planet Mul was uninhabited.
Come on! You know that's not true. The commander was there. He gave the order.
And then he organized this whole procedure to eliminate any survivors ...
the living proof of his mistake. Stop the procedure.
Maybe that explains why the commander was interrogating that creature.
Is the commander with you?
Come on! Waky, waky!
You've got a call.
Let's go my friend. Time to confess.
No DNA code, but a voice wave match.
This General Okto-Bar. Do you read me, commander?
What's going on?
We're ready to activate the explosive device, in accordance with the orders you gave.
Do you confirm those orders ...
Or do you have anything to tell me that would enable me to suspend the assault?
I'm a soldier.
A soldier always chooses death over humiliation.
Annihilate them all.
What hell are you doing? - I didn't give the order.
Captain, cease fire immediately.
It's not us, it's the K-TRONS... they are shooting at us!
Come on...
I'm going to give Tsuuri some backup. Keep an eye on him.
He's not going anywhere.
Get down. Take cover.
Alex, load me up with all you've got.
Copy that. - Thanks.
Neza, stop this countdown now! - Yes, sir.
Hurry up, Neza.
Hurry, Neza.
How much time left? - Ten seconds.
Hurry!
Neza!
Check for survivors.
Captain, status report. - There's nothing left, just a gaping hole.
They left with their spaceship. Everything has vanished.
And our agents? Valerian and Laureline?
No, nothing. - And the commander?
Is anyone here? Wait, I hear something.
There's a body.
Get me down from here you children!
It's the commander. - Is he alive?
Affirmative, alive and kicking. - Good.
Arrest him.
Help.
Do you have any idea where they left us?
We're two hours away from vacation. I fired the distress beacon.
Two hours!! - I know, two hours alone with me, what a drag!
No kidding. Basically an eternity.
Now that the mission's over, maybe we can finish our conversation.
What conversation? - We were talking about the future.
Really? And what does the future hold?
You.
Me.
Us.
Happy Birthday.
Thank you, Valerian.
That's so romantic. Did you really think of this yourself?
Yes, you mean so much to me. You know.
Laureline ...
will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?
For better or worse?
Ah,, worse? Is that negotiable?
No.
Alright then.
Is that a yes? - One maybe.
I'm confused, is this how love works?
No, this is how I work.
You spent a day in a woman’s body did you not learn anything?
Yes,, I did learn something.
What?
I want only your name on my play list.
