What happened to you?
Some person from USA called me,
claiming to be my father.
Ivan Pavi.
You know what? I've lived my whole
life without a father.
I thought that he died.
I mean ...
I used to visit his grave
with his mother.
I think this is going to be a very
interesting journey. -Very interesting.
Even more so because I
haven't been there for 50 years.
-Yes, we'll meet there.
Great. I'm very glad.
-Yes.
Is it arranged? -Yes, it's all arranged.
I became a part of an engineer group,
which worked on development of
module for a multi-person crew.
as a part of Yugoslav Space Program.
I was assigned to a team of officers for
a counterintelligence protection
of this programme.
We had to evict quite a few villages
so that inhabitants wouldn't
work on nearby fields
and tourists wouldn't record
and take pictures.
When we enter, I'll show you,
that the 50 next meters, whole ...
Oh' it's the police. No problem.
We'll talk with them.
Are you ours? -Yes. I was hired to take
them through this underground facility.
I'm familiar with the situation.
-What is this? You are?
He's from USA. -American.
-Yes. -What's with the cameras?
We're filming something. Not right now.
Check this.
-What is the American doing here?
He's a ... -Historian.
What is he saying? -That he's a historian
who is interested in this place as a part
space programme ... -Okay.
We're here. -We had
complete equipment for testing,
but the facility hadn't been ready yet.
-It was still under construction.
After a few months of work
in space programme,
Tito unexpectedly
visited Object 505.
Visits like this were documented by the
counterintelligence for internal use.
Exploration and conquest
is about the collective effort of
inhabitants of the world
to discover what kind
of neighbours they have.
Tito demanded that
the work be sped up
and our engineers
promised him that.
Our project was supposed to be
better than the soviet Sputnik.
The realized project was called Triglav 1.
Our three-stage rocket incorporated
numerous solutions by Potonik 'Noordung'.
Radar, take over the control.
Finished rocket flew all
the way to stratosphere.
But we couldn't conceal the
landing of the module.
It landed in international
waters at the Italian border
Our ship encountered
an Italian vessel
which probably recorded the fact
that our ship sailed into Italian waters.
Because of that, the Italians were guessing
what our military ship was doing there.
Piglet survived the launching.
Hello? Nataa.
-iga, what is the number?
Yes, it's me, Ivan.
Everything is alright, we have arrived.
I'm in Croatia.
See you in Pag. Bye!
We'll see ... I think it's somewhere
around here, I don't remember well.
Yes, I think this is the building.
Exactly, it was smaller than others.
After the test launch of three-stage rocket
planning of a larger rocket began.
Money was, however, running out
and development was lagging.
Space programme was
apparently too expensive.
This was a big blow to us,
although we were
in a way prepared for it.
Yugoslavia would have to
take out loans.
The creditors always demand complete
documentation and financial plans.
Telling international creditors that we
were developing a space programme
was unfeasible.
Calculations of our
financial experts showed
that Yugoslavia would be
in danger of bankruptcy.
to significantly embellish the report
meant for the Americans.
Although our programme was
going well it wasn't functional.
Is it true reports on Yugoslav space
programme were falsified
Was this your order?
No. Reports on
Yugoslav space programme
were always realistic.
occasionally exaggerate a bit.
But they were never
intentionally falsified.
Buyer-to-be mustn't
have been deceived.
I was falsifying sketches,
embellishing the results of test launches.
It is possible that certain technical
details were presented in a multisided way.
We reckoned NASA representatives
would be excited to come to Yugoslavia.
And so they came.
NASA delegation was
impressed by our programme.
Tito decided to offer the programme to
the Americans for a certain sum of money.
Americans would, as is the
custom in capitalistic states,
try to lower the price,
but we wouldn't relent.
We demanded 3 billion dollars.
The public didn't know what
This is the Pag island,
I was born here.
I got married here and
now I'm here again.
Tomorrow you'll be seeing your daughter
for the first time since ... -First time.
I have never seen her,
I don't even have her photo.
I don't know how she looks,
but I think we'll sniff each other out.
My daughter. -Good day.
-Martina, pleasure to meet you.
Ivan, are you alright? -Yes.
Matej, will you give him a hand?
-No problem.
This is my daughter Ana,
doctor of science.
Since 1983 she had been working
for Yugoslav Security Service.
Later she worked for Slovenian Security
Service, this occupation runs in the family.
That's right.
Tito was a proper operative.
He could sell something
while keeping it a complete secret.
Everything located at the Institute -
documentation, sketches, equipment,
was to be given to the Americans.
