- What?
- Stop it.

:59:04

- Why have you emptied the bottle?
- Stop it, I said!

:59:22

The Zone is a very complicated system...

:59:29

of traps,
and they're all deadly.

:59:36

I don't know what's going on here
in the absence of people,

:59:39

but the moment someone shows up,
everything comes into motion.

:59:47

Old traps disappear
and new ones emerge.

:59:51

Safe spots
become impassable.

:59:55

Now your path is easy,
now it's hopelessly involved.

1:00:04

That's the Zone.

1:00:07

It may even seem capricious.

1:00:12

But it is what we've made it
with our condition.

1:00:19

It happened that people had
to stop halfway and go back.

1:00:25

Some of them even died
on the very threshold of the room.

1:00:30

But everything that's going on here
depends not on the Zone, but on us!

1:00:33

So it lets the good ones pass
and kills the bad ones?

1:00:38

I don't know.

1:00:40

I think
it lets those pass who...

1:00:43

have lost all hope.

1:00:45

Not good or bad,
but wretched people.

1:00:51

But even the most wretched will die
if they don't know how to behave.
