Moscow's furious.

80
00:07:56,185 --> 00:07:59,021
The botched Salyut film drop is
all over the news.

81
00:08:00,022 --> 00:08:02,065
And not only have we failed
to retrieve our own surveillance,

82
00:08:02,149 --> 00:08:04,860
but now the Americans know
which assets our cameras are pointed at.

83
00:08:04,943 --> 00:08:07,321
Dropping canisters
of film from orbit hardly seems

84
00:08:07,404 --> 00:08:08,989
like the most effective method.

85
00:08:09,072 --> 00:08:13,452
As I noted in my report,
it requires an engineering solution.

86
00:08:13,535 --> 00:08:17,497
And yet engineering has failed to find
a reliable method

87
00:08:17,581 --> 00:08:19,166
- to transmit the photographs…
- [stammers]

88
00:08:19,249 --> 00:08:21,793
- …directly from the station.
- What does that have to do with me?

89
00:08:21,877 --> 00:08:24,713
Last time I checked,
Comrade Burkov reported to you.

90
00:08:26,757 --> 00:08:29,343
Well, he's a loyalist to my predecessor.

91
00:08:31,094 --> 00:08:34,306
You think he's
deliberately withholding a solution?

92
00:08:34,389 --> 00:08:37,351
I think he believes things were better
under the previous regime.

93
00:08:38,477 --> 00:08:40,854
So an example needs to be made of him.

94
00:08:41,563 --> 00:08:44,858
I was entrusted by the General Secretary
with bringing Star City

95
00:08:44,942 --> 00:08:46,944
back in line after everything
that happened on your watch.

96
00:08:47,027 --> 00:08:48,612
My… My watch?

97
00:08:49,196 --> 00:08:52,157
Well, first Mironov then Venera,
now these disloyal engineers.

98
00:08:52,241 --> 00:08:53,909
I ended Venera.

99
00:08:53,992 --> 00:08:56,411
I ended Mironov.

100
00:08:56,495 --> 00:08:58,956
And now you need
to deal with Comrade Burkov,

101
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:02,459
or more drastic changes
to Star City will have to be made.

102
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,215
Oh, uh, one more thing.

103
00:09:08,298 --> 00:09:09,383
Yes.

104
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:12,261
Irina Morozova, how's she doing?

105
00:09:14,221 --> 00:09:15,556
Fine. She's fine.

106
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:18,851
She made the initial discovery of
Valya Mironov's activities, did she not?

107
00:09:18,934 --> 00:09:21,186
Yes, but in her eagerness to impress,

108
00:09:21,270 --> 00:09:23,063
she failed to alert me
at the correct time.

109
00:09:24,106 --> 00:09:28,360
She has promise, I grant you,
and ambition, but she lacks discipline.

110
00:09:28,443 --> 00:09:30,070
[Radimir] So did I, at her age.

111
00:09:31,321 --> 00:09:32,531
Look where I am now.

112
00:09:33,824 --> 00:09:34,825
Yes.

113
00:09:35,492 --> 00:09:36,952
Very impressive.

114
00:09:38,954 --> 00:09:43,458
I would encourage you to consider
her strengths and not only her weaknesses.

115
00:09:44,334 --> 00:09:47,462
Well, it's my department
so I'll run it as I see fit.

116
00:09:48,964 --> 00:09:50,632
It's only a suggestion.

117
00:09:54,553 --> 00:09:56,054
Good day, Comrade Colonel.

119
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,458
Good afternoon.

120
00:10:26,168 --> 00:10:29,838
I am proud
to introduce this film to you today,

121
00:10:30,881 --> 00:10:34,134
highlighting the triumph
of my journey as a cosmonaut

122
00:10:35,427 --> 00:10:38,055
in the very place that journey began.

00:10:38,847 --> 00:10:42,935
The communal farmland
of the Rostovskaya Oblast.

[audience cheering]

125
00:10:59,993 --> 00:11:03,163
Deputy Chairman Tarasov,
I wasn't expecting to see you here.

126
00:11:03,247 --> 00:11:05,624
Well, I wouldn't dream of missing this.

129
00:11:20,514 --> 00:11:24,893
The film will tour the Soviet Union and
then it will travel widely in the West,

130
00:11:25,602 --> 00:11:28,272
showing them the Anastasia Belikova

131
00:11:28,355 --> 00:11:30,357
that the governors have tried
to hide from them.

132
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,611
[narrator] <i>…proved that sacrifice and
collective strength could reach the stars.</i>

Seems like yesterday, doesn't it?

134
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:43,871
<i>…embodying duty, resilience

<i>as did their commitment

Excuse me.

[sobbing]

146
00:13:40,654 --> 00:13:43,448
We put the first man into space.

147
00:13:44,908 --> 00:13:47,077
We sent cosmonauts to the moon.

148
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,289
We even tried
to send them to another planet.

149

Who knows where that might have led us?

150
00:13:55,711 --> 00:14:00,132
But now, all we're doing is looking down,

151
00:14:01,592 --> 00:14:06,471
staring back at Earth so we can
take photographs of missile sites.

152
00:14:08,932 --> 00:14:11,351
Even you must acknowledge the difference.

153
00:14:13,854 --> 00:14:17,858
So you admit that your loyalties still lie
with the former Chief Designer.

154
00:14:19,735 --> 00:14:22,821
There's only one Chief Designer.
[chuckles]

155
00:14:23,906 --> 00:14:26,366
Radimir Petrovsky's a KGB stooge

who can barely tell the difference
between liquid oxygen and vodka.

00:14:29,453 --> 00:14:31,955
May I remind you
this conversation is being recorded.

158
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:34,875
I would choose
your words very, very carefully.

159
00:14:40,756 --> 00:14:42,633
I've said what I'm gonna say.

160
00:14:47,888 --> 00:14:51,725
Will you sign the confession
admitting to sabotaging

161
00:14:51,808 --> 00:14:54,144
Chief Designer Petrovsky's efforts

162
00:14:54,228 --> 00:14:57,523
- to modernize the Salyut space station?
- [sighs]

163
00:15:04,196 --> 00:15:07,157
You think it'll make them fall in line,
but it won't.

164
00:15:08,575 --> 00:15:13,330
The reason my team hasn't solved
the problem of the Salyut film drops

165
00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:17,709
isn't for the lack of will,
and it's not insubordination.

166
00:15:22,256 --> 00:15:25,133
Ideas don't just form out of thin air.

167
00:15:26,593 --> 00:15:28,470
They require inspiration.

168
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,312
And you know there's
only one person that can do that.

169
00:15:50,409 --> 00:15:51,577
Stop gawping.

170
00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:53,036
Back to work.

171
00:15:57,916 --> 00:15:59,751
Congratulations, Comrade Stepanov.

172
00:15:59,835 --> 00:16:03,172
You are now the lead engineer on Salyut-1.

173
00:16:04,089 --> 00:16:06,842
Of course, Comrade Colonel.

177

Were you able to contact him?

178
00:17:35,097 --> 00:17:37,224
He's amazed you'd even consider it.

179
00:17:38,475 --> 00:17:41,395
An engineer from Star City
teaching at his university.

180
00:17:41,895 --> 00:17:43,772
Thank you for passing this along.

181
00:17:45,357 --> 00:17:47,693
It explains my hopes for the position.

182
00:17:51,864 --> 00:17:53,323
Of course, I'll get it to him.

183
00:17:53,407 --> 00:17:56,034
But, Sergei, what I don't understand…

184
00:17:57,786 --> 00:18:00,247
why would you want
to leave here to be a professor?

185
00:18:02,708 --> 00:18:04,126
I need a change.

186
00:18:05,711 --> 00:18:07,796
Star City isn't what it used to be.

187
00:18:16,889 --> 00:18:19,725
[Chief Designer hums, grunts]

I'm telling you,

191
00:18:38,327 --> 00:18:42,623
you're gonna be sick of borscht
by the time this crop comes out. [grunts]

192
00:18:43,540 --> 00:18:44,958
[Galina] Darling.

193

What?

194
00:18:47,419 --> 00:18:48,795
[Galina] Darling.

195
00:18:49,671 --> 00:18:52,174
You have a visitor.

196
00:18:59,598 --> 00:19:00,599
[breathes deeply]

[footsteps approaching]

199
00:19:09,483 --> 00:19:11,276
I see you've settled in.

200
00:19:12,986 --> 00:19:14,363
Nice view.

201
00:19:14,988 --> 00:19:18,158
Yes, I can almost see past
the armed guards surrounding me.

202
00:19:18,242 --> 00:19:20,327
Well, it's better than the gulag.

203
00:19:25,374 --> 00:19:27,209
Better hurry up
and get to your point, Lyudmilla.

204
00:19:27,292 --> 00:19:29,962
Galina's likely in there now
sharpening her knives.

205
00:19:31,463 --> 00:19:35,926
Our new space station, Salyut-1,
monitors the entire globe from orbit.

206
00:19:36,844 --> 00:19:40,180

capability than we ever could have had

207
00:19:40,264 --> 00:19:42,224
with Tupolev aircraft.

208
00:19:42,850 --> 00:19:45,519
[Chief Designer] So nice they're
focusing on surveillance now.

209
00:19:46,812 --> 00:19:50,148
Yes, well, we need
a more secure system in place

210
00:19:50,232 --> 00:19:53,193
for sending the surveillance photos
down to Star City.

211
00:19:57,573 --> 00:20:00,200
Your former engineers
are dragging their feet.

212
00:20:00,868 --> 00:20:02,369
So they should be.

213
00:20:11,211 --> 00:20:12,921
I can't help you, Lyudmilla.

214
00:20:17,092 --> 00:20:19,344
Not after what you did to my Eagles.

215
00:20:20,888 --> 00:20:24,308
I did what was necessary to protect
our nation, as I have always done.

- [scoffs]
- Do you know,

217
00:20:25,601 --> 00:20:28,145
the only reason your co-conspirators
are not all in prison

218
00:20:28,228 --> 00:20:32,024
is because I allowed you to take
the full responsibility for that fiasco.

219
00:20:32,107 --> 00:20:34,818
Allowed? That's very gracious of you.

220
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,742
Why don't you ask your new Chief Designer
to help you with your little problem?

221
00:20:42,534 --> 00:20:43,535
Petrovsky.

222
00:20:43,619 --> 00:20:45,871
They let him use his own name, I see.

223
00:20:46,705 --> 00:20:47,706
[Lyudmilla] He's…

224

[stammers, sighs]

225
00:20:50,876 --> 00:20:52,211
…not you.

226
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,131
The Central Committee know that.

227
00:20:56,215 --> 00:20:58,175
I suspect that's why you're still alive.

228
00:20:58,258 --> 00:21:03,597
So, I can provide answers
for him to parrot to the engineers?

229
00:21:07,935 --> 00:21:12,481
If not, your idyllic retirement could turn
into something much worse.

230
00:21:17,528 --> 00:21:19,905
I'm not a young man anymore, Lyudmilla.

231
00:21:23,408 --> 00:21:25,577
I'm not concerned about my fate.

232
00:21:25,661 --> 00:21:28,121
That's as may be, but Petrovsky's…

233
00:21:31,208 --> 00:21:35,170
actions may harm Star City,
perhaps irreparably.

234
00:21:39,883 --> 00:21:40,968
[sniffs]

235

[sighing]

236
00:21:53,063 --> 00:21:54,982
So what would you have me do? I'm, uh…

237
00:21:57,067 --> 00:21:58,777
[chuckles] …I'm under house arrest,

238
00:21:58,861 --> 00:22:01,363
no way to communicate
with the outside world.

239
00:22:07,452 --> 00:22:10,122
Stalin threw you into the gulag
for no reason.

240
00:22:12,416 --> 00:22:17,504
You were starved, beaten,
nearly frozen to death.

241
00:22:19,756 --> 00:22:23,594
But when you were called on again,
you did not hesitate.

242
00:22:25,304 --> 00:22:28,473
You did what was necessary
because you were a patriot.

243
00:22:28,557 --> 00:22:29,641
Patriot.

244
00:22:34,897 --> 00:22:36,190
I was a fool.

245
00:22:36,732 --> 00:22:38,525
Well, Petrovsky is neither.

246
00:22:40,194 --> 00:22:43,071
And if he's not given
the results he expects,

247
00:22:43,155 --> 00:22:46,033
then Star City will be broken into pieces.

248
00:22:46,116 --> 00:22:49,453
Everything we have built together
will be destroyed.

249
00:22:55,167 --> 00:22:57,544
[Galina] Darling, breakfast.

[stammers]

252
00:23:08,722 --> 00:23:12,935
Th-There's an algorithm
on the Venera computer.

253
00:23:13,018 --> 00:23:18,565
A way to, uh, downgrade
high resolution images from the probe

254
00:23:18,649 --> 00:23:22,277
on the surface of Venus into something
that can be transmitted back to Earth.

255
00:23:22,361 --> 00:23:25,322
They might be able
to use that as a starting point.

256
00:23:27,991 --> 00:23:31,411
The codes might
still be on Salyut's comms system.

257
00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:33,205
Thank you.

258
00:23:33,705 --> 00:23:35,958
[Chief Designer] That's all you're
gonna get from me, Lyudmilla.

259
00:23:38,669 --> 00:23:40,212
My time has passed.

in the best interest of the state

315
00:27:25,437 --> 00:27:26,939
for you to remain here.

316
00:27:29,149 --> 00:27:30,692
Nor is it in yours.

317
00:27:32,528 --> 00:27:35,447
You have done everything
we asked of you, Comrade Belikova.

318
00:27:36,073 --> 00:27:38,242
And now it is time for us
to return the favor.

319
00:27:41,495 --> 00:27:42,788
I don't understand.

320
00:27:42,871 --> 00:27:47,835
We need another cosmonaut to go into
rotation on the Salyut-1 space station,

321
00:27:47,918 --> 00:27:50,671
and we've selected you
to command the mission.

322
00:27:54,007 --> 00:27:55,092
Commander of the mission?

323
00:27:55,175 --> 00:27:56,176
[Tarasov] Mm-hmm.

324
00:27:57,636 --> 00:27:59,304
I haven't trained for it.

325
00:27:59,388 --> 00:28:03,433
Well, that didn't stop you on <i>Luna-16</i>
and you made it all the way to the moon.

326
00:28:07,437 --> 00:28:08,522
[inhales sharply]

327
00:28:09,147 --> 00:28:11,608
But I, uh, thought the state believed

328
00:28:11,692 --> 00:28:15,404
that it was too big a risk
for me to go back into space.

329
00:28:15,487 --> 00:28:17,781
Well, I mean,
it seems like an even riskier proposition

330
00:28:17,865 --> 00:28:19,491
for you to remain here.

331
00:28:23,036 --> 00:28:24,037
- [sighs]
- Comrade Belikova,

332
00:28:24,121 --> 00:28:25,789
i-is this not what you wanted?

333
00:28:29,585 --> 00:28:31,253
It's all that I've wanted.

334
00:28:32,546 --> 00:28:34,548
Ever since I first went up.

335
00:28:37,467 --> 00:28:39,219
Forgive me… [sighs]

336
00:28:39,303 --> 00:28:44,391
…but I don't believe you are doing this
simply as a gesture of goodwill.

337
00:28:48,937 --> 00:28:50,189
[chuckles]

338
00:28:51,565 --> 00:28:52,566
Wow…

339
00:28:55,527 --> 00:29:01,450
[inhales deeply] You've grown quite a bit
since we last spoke.

340
00:29:01,533 --> 00:29:03,160
[liquid pours]

341
00:29:03,994 --> 00:29:07,539
The Americans are accusing us
of using Salyut to gather intelligence.

342
00:29:08,207 --> 00:29:09,208
Are we?

343
00:29:10,375 --> 00:29:14,505
We are protecting the Soviet Union
against Western provocation.

344
00:29:14,588 --> 00:29:17,132
But to prevent any further escalation,

345
00:29:17,216 --> 00:29:21,094
we must convince the world of
Salyut's peaceful purpose.

346
00:29:22,804 --> 00:29:24,806
[sighs] And if I go back up there, then…

347
00:29:24,890 --> 00:29:29,770
Then your triumphant return to space
as commander of the mission, no less,

348
00:29:30,646 --> 00:29:33,023
will, uh, provide an…

349
00:29:33,106 --> 00:29:35,067
an alternate narrative.

350
00:29:37,569 --> 00:29:38,570
[sighs]

351
00:29:44,535 --> 00:29:47,371
[breathes deeply]

352
00:29:57,548 --> 00:29:58,674
All right, I'll go.

353
00:29:59,258 --> 00:30:01,134
Good, then that's settled.

354
00:30:02,636 --> 00:30:07,641
A plane will take you from Taganrog
Air Base to Baikonur tomorrow morning.

355
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,018
Congratulations.

356
00:30:36,211 --> 00:30:37,212
[chuckles]

357
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:29,681
Hello?

358
00:32:27,823 --> 00:32:29,074
[sighs]

359
00:33:04,193 --> 00:33:07,529
[Radimir] There's a reason I wanted
to speak to you privately.

360
00:33:19,041 --> 00:33:21,460
I don't like the way you're being treated
by your superior.

361
00:33:23,212 --> 00:33:24,796
She's holding you back.

362
00:33:25,380 --> 00:33:27,508
But I know you have such potential,
such promise.

363
00:33:28,133 --> 00:33:29,510
I still have much to learn from her.

364
00:33:29,593 --> 00:33:31,553
There's nothing you should be learning
from her.

365
00:33:36,975 --> 00:33:41,188
I was assigned to Star City after
everything that happened with Venera.

366
00:33:41,271 --> 00:33:45,192
To right the ship, yes,
but also to shake things up.

367
00:33:46,568 --> 00:33:48,529
Bring it into the modern era.

368
00:33:48,612 --> 00:33:50,614
Part of the problem is
these dinosaurs that have been here

369
00:33:50,697 --> 00:33:52,991
for decades refuse to go extinct.

370
00:33:53,825 --> 00:33:56,495
If we are to remain
at the cutting edge of science,

371
00:33:56,578 --> 00:34:00,832
of technology, of exploration,
it's people like us…

372
00:34:02,417 --> 00:34:07,005
you and I, Irina,
that must control Star City. Hmm?

373
00:34:16,264 --> 00:34:19,643
An American agent was allowed
to escape on an illegal mission,

374
00:34:19,726 --> 00:34:23,272
and we're supposed to believe that
Colonel Raskova knew nothing about it?

375
00:34:23,355 --> 00:34:25,357
- She didn't.
- Her time here is done.

376
00:34:27,525 --> 00:34:31,780
I just need proof that it's in the state's
best interest to remove her from power.

377
00:34:40,163 --> 00:34:43,708
And you want me to get that for you?

378
00:34:46,962 --> 00:34:49,297
You have a bright future here, Irina.

379
00:34:51,382 --> 00:34:53,677
You're stronger and smarter
than you realize.

380
00:34:56,221 --> 00:34:57,931
I know what you've gone through.

381
00:35:00,726 --> 00:35:04,438
How much you had to endure
before you came here.

382
00:35:07,691 --> 00:35:10,694
I cannot imagine that kind of…
[inhales sharply]

383
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,906
…torment at the hands of such a monster.

384
00:35:13,989 --> 00:35:15,365
I don't… I don't think…

385
00:35:15,449 --> 00:35:17,951
In the end, something good
came out of what happened.

386
00:35:18,035 --> 00:35:19,203
Your daughter, Zoya.

387
00:35:19,286 --> 00:35:22,748
And I do feel that something good
can come from this as well.

388
00:35:28,420 --> 00:35:31,548
Those of us from Rublyovka,
we must protect each other.

389
00:35:36,678 --> 00:35:39,681
[stammers, inhales sharply]
It's getting late. I should…

390
00:35:39,765 --> 00:35:42,351
- Of course. Of course.
- [Irina inhales shakily, sighs]

391
00:35:46,355 --> 00:35:47,648
Think about what I've asked.

392
00:35:50,359 --> 00:35:51,485
I will.

393
00:35:51,568 --> 00:35:52,569
[Radimir] Hmm.

394
00:35:54,154 --> 00:35:55,322
I'll see you soon.

395
00:36:32,693 --> 00:36:34,069
How long is the ride?

396
00:36:35,028 --> 00:36:36,196
Not long now.

397
00:36:39,575 --> 00:36:40,993
What's his story?

398
00:36:42,452 --> 00:36:44,872
Um, Anatoly Frolov.

399
00:36:44,955 --> 00:36:47,541
He… He joined
with the latest cosmonaut attachment.

400
00:36:48,250 --> 00:36:49,376
So he's KGB.

401
00:36:50,961 --> 00:36:54,047
Yeah, we're both assigned
to work on the-the, uh…

402
00:36:54,756 --> 00:36:56,842
The real reason for this mission?

403
00:37:10,189 --> 00:37:13,275
[reporter] Cosmonaut Belikova, are you
excited about your return to space?

404
00:37:13,358 --> 00:37:16,028
Of course,
this mission is a wonderful opportunity

405
00:37:16,111 --> 00:37:20,616
for us to pursue our scientific objectives
on the world's first space station.

406
00:37:22,117 --> 00:37:23,118
Wave to the camera.

Congratulations are in order.

420

With yet another successful launch,

421
00:39:11,435 --> 00:39:14,855
we have once again shown
the might of the Soviet Union.

422
00:39:15,689 --> 00:39:20,027
But we must remain focused and resilient.

423
00:39:21,153 --> 00:39:23,447
The biggest challenges are
still ahead of us.

424
00:39:25,574 --> 00:39:26,575
Well done.

425
00:39:39,254 --> 00:39:40,255
[Tarasov] Nicely done.

426
00:39:40,339 --> 00:39:43,634
The general secretary is very pleased
with how this all came together.

427
00:39:44,843 --> 00:39:46,678
[Radimir] Thank you, Deputy Chairman.

428
00:39:46,762 --> 00:39:48,263
Glad to be of service.

[timer ringing]

471
00:45:19,553 --> 00:45:21,346
Give me a minute.
I've got something in the oven.

472
00:45:21,430 --> 00:45:22,431

[Lyudmilla] His name was Dima.

476
00:46:26,662 --> 00:46:28,121
He was killed during the war.

477
00:46:30,749 --> 00:46:32,251
Sorry, I didn't realize.

478
00:46:34,878 --> 00:46:36,463
It was a long time ago.

479
00:46:47,599 --> 00:46:49,226
Thank you for bringing this
to my attention.

480
00:46:49,309 --> 00:46:52,145
I will, uh, make sure it gets to Lubyanka.

481
00:46:52,729 --> 00:46:54,398
It's late, you should go.

482
00:47:03,198 --> 00:47:04,825
[Irina] There's one more thing.

483
00:47:08,871 --> 00:47:10,080
Yes?

484
00:47:17,004 --> 00:47:18,005
[chuckles]

485
00:47:19,464 --> 00:47:20,549
Where did you find that?

486
00:47:24,136 --> 00:47:25,596
I brought it.

487
00:47:28,182 --> 00:47:29,641
You were going to bug me?

488
00:47:34,271 --> 00:47:37,441
I was ordered to, but I couldn't.

489
00:47:39,109 --> 00:47:40,110
Petrovsky?

490
00:47:42,446 --> 00:47:43,947
He wants you removed.

491
00:47:52,206 --> 00:47:54,124
Well, what are you waiting for?

492
00:47:57,002 --> 00:47:58,003
Sorry?

493
00:47:58,712 --> 00:48:02,216
[inhales deeply] Irina Vasilievna, when
the head of Star City gives you an order,

494
00:48:02,299 --> 00:48:04,510
that's exactly what you must do.

495
00:48:09,056 --> 00:48:10,057
I don't understand.

496
00:48:10,140 --> 00:48:12,434
You will continue to report to him.

497
00:48:14,561 --> 00:48:16,146
And to me, of course.

498
00:48:21,401 --> 00:48:23,070
Yes, Comrade Colonel.

- No, please. Listen. I need…

501
00:48:43,966 --> 00:48:46,134
- …without authorization.
- This regards official state business.

502
00:48:46,218 --> 00:48:48,095
You are not permitted in.

503
00:48:58,647 --> 00:48:59,648
[Sergei sighs]

504
00:49:04,444 --> 00:49:05,779

00:49:10,075 --> 00:49:11,118
Stepanov.

506
00:49:11,660 --> 00:49:13,662
Please. Wait… This is important.

507
00:49:15,163 --> 00:49:16,957
I can't really be seen talking to you.

508
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,501
I've already got
the Night Witch up my arse as it is.

509
00:49:20,085 --> 00:49:22,546
Okay. Well, then,
the sooner that you agree

510
00:49:22,629 --> 00:49:24,590
to do what I'm asking you, the better.

511
00:49:25,549 --> 00:49:27,968
If Chief Designer were here,
I'd be asking him.

512
00:49:29,511 --> 00:49:31,138
Okay, you have one minute.

513
00:49:32,848 --> 00:49:34,766
I need to reach Salyut-1.

514
00:49:37,394 --> 00:49:38,562
Now.

515
00:49:41,148 --> 00:49:42,858
Please. I need your help.

516
00:49:44,401 --> 00:49:45,402
[sighs]

517
00:50:08,675 --> 00:50:11,553
[Stepanov] <i>Salyut-1, this is Star City.
Do you copy</i>?

518
00:50:15,390 --> 00:50:16,642
<i>Salyut-1?</i>

519
00:50:17,851 --> 00:50:19,937
Come in, Star City, Belikova here.

520
00:50:20,020 --> 00:50:21,980
[Stepanov] <i>Commander Belikova,
it's Stepanov.</i>

521
00:50:22,814 --> 00:50:24,149
Is everything all right?

522
00:50:24,233 --> 00:50:25,234
[Stepanov] <i>Yes.</i>

523
00:50:25,317 --> 00:50:28,195
<i>There's a test we'd like to run
on the security monitor.</i>

524
00:50:30,572 --> 00:50:32,324
That's Frolov's project.

525
00:50:32,407 --> 00:50:34,076
- I'll just wake him, he's…
<i>- Oh, no, no. No.</i>

526
00:50:34,159 --> 00:50:35,452
No.

527
00:50:35,536 --> 00:50:36,578
Um…

528
00:50:36,662 --> 00:50:37,663
[Anastasia] <i>Why not?</i>

529
00:50:37,746 --> 00:50:39,581
[Sergei stammering] It's just that it…

530
00:50:39,665 --> 00:50:41,416
It isn't a very big test.

531
00:50:41,500 --> 00:50:43,460
So you don't need to disturb his sleep.

532
00:50:44,127 --> 00:50:45,504
[Anastasia] <i>You're not Stepanov.</i>

533
00:50:45,587 --> 00:50:46,964
Who is this?

534
00:50:47,798 --> 00:50:49,091
[Sergei] <i>Sergei Nikulov.</i>

535
00:50:50,008 --> 00:50:51,385
Nikulov?

536
00:50:51,468 --> 00:50:53,011
Why does that sound familiar?

537
00:50:53,971 --> 00:50:55,931
[Sergei] <i>I'm the engineer
who thought of the way</i>

538
00:50:56,014 --> 00:50:59,309
<i>to reduce the CO2 in your suit
during Luna-16.</i>

539
00:51:01,603 --> 00:51:06,358
So, you're the one who told me
to stab a hole in my suit in outer space?

540
00:51:06,441 --> 00:51:08,318
[sighs]

541
00:51:11,154 --> 00:51:15,617
- Yes. Um, I'm sorry. I was only, um…
- Don't be sorry, you saved my life.

542
00:51:16,326 --> 00:51:18,745
[Sergei chuckles] <i>I was only doing my job.</i>

543
00:51:20,122 --> 00:51:21,999
No, that's what everybody else was doing.

544
00:51:23,292 --> 00:51:25,460
<i>Now, what do you need, Sergei Nikulov?</i>

545
00:51:25,544 --> 00:51:27,254
[Stepanov] Sergei, make it quick.

546
00:51:28,505 --> 00:51:32,843
Um, I'm switching us over
to a secure channel.

547
00:51:34,052 --> 00:51:35,179
[Anastasia] <i>Secure?</i>

548
00:51:35,679 --> 00:51:38,724
[stammers] You are aware
of the Venera program?

549
00:51:41,268 --> 00:51:42,477
Perhaps.

550
00:51:42,561 --> 00:51:46,732
Well, the surveillance technology
on your station was derived

551
00:51:46,815 --> 00:51:51,069
from a concept
that came from the Venera mission.

552
00:51:51,153 --> 00:51:52,654
Don't know what you're talking about.

553
00:51:52,738 --> 00:51:55,407
Yes. Yes. No, of course. Um…

554
00:51:56,617 --> 00:51:58,785
I was going over the data that I received

555
00:51:58,869 --> 00:52:03,999
from the Yevpatoria Telescope
and I found something…

556
00:52:05,459 --> 00:52:06,585
strange.

557
00:52:06,668 --> 00:52:08,170
Strange?

558
00:52:08,253 --> 00:52:12,382
[Sergei] <i>Yes, uh,
and I want you to help me confirm it.</i>

559
00:52:15,302 --> 00:52:17,804
What does this have to do with Venera?

560
00:52:18,972 --> 00:52:20,974
[Sergei]
That's just what I'm trying to find out.

561
00:52:21,058 --> 00:52:22,893
Just run this test.

562
00:52:23,435 --> 00:52:24,520
Please.

563
00:52:41,870 --> 00:52:43,664
What do you need me to do?

564
00:52:44,873 --> 00:52:50,879
Set the UHF transmitter
to 922.76 Megahertz.

565
00:52:54,466 --> 00:52:58,637
Setting to 922.76 Megahertz.

566
00:53:11,608 --> 00:53:13,235
I'm-I'm getting a signal.

567
00:53:17,030 --> 00:53:18,949
Relay that signal to me, please.

568
00:53:19,449 --> 00:53:20,534
[Anastasia] <i>Relaying</i>.

569
00:53:34,173 --> 00:53:35,174
[chuckles]

570
00:53:40,637 --> 00:53:42,055
That's data.

571
00:53:44,558 --> 00:53:48,228
- It's data and it's compressed with, um…
- With what?

572
00:53:49,438 --> 00:53:50,981
[Stepanov] What's going on?
[clears throat]

573
00:53:52,274 --> 00:53:54,193
[Anastasia] <i>With what, Sergei?</i>

574
00:53:55,986 --> 00:53:57,821
What is this?
What are you getting me into?

575
00:53:57,905 --> 00:54:00,073
- I will not… [stammers]
- One more minute. Please. Come on.

576
00:54:00,157 --> 00:54:01,366
I need a calendar.

577
00:54:01,450 --> 00:54:03,493
Who has a… [stammers]

578
00:54:04,828 --> 00:54:06,747
- Yeah, just one… Just one moment.
- Hey.

579
00:54:14,379 --> 00:54:15,756
Do you read me? Are you there?

580
00:54:15,839 --> 00:54:16,924
Come in.

581
00:54:23,096 --> 00:54:25,265
- No, that's not possible.
- What's not possible?

582
00:54:25,349 --> 00:54:26,600
[Stepanov] Sergei.

583
00:54:29,728 --> 00:54:31,897
Sorry. Sorry.

584
00:54:31,980 --> 00:54:34,733
- Sergei. It's over. You cannot…
- No, no, no. Please. Please.

585
00:54:35,359 --> 00:54:37,277
- [Anastasia] <i>Are you there?</i>
- [Sergei pants]

586
00:54:37,361 --> 00:54:39,821
<i>- Do you read me? Come in. Come in.</i>
- Uh, hello, hello, hello.

587
00:54:40,322 --> 00:54:41,448
Yes, yes. I'm here. I'm here.

588
00:54:41,532 --> 00:54:43,534
Where is the signal coming from?

589
00:54:44,368 --> 00:54:49,623
Comrade Belikova, there is
only one other spacecraft that is capable

590
00:54:49,706 --> 00:54:54,378
of transmitting data
on that frequency using my algorithm.

591
00:54:59,049 --> 00:55:00,342
No.

592
00:55:02,386 --> 00:55:05,722
- It can't… It's not possible.
- [Sergei] <i>I don't know.</i>

593
00:55:06,682 --> 00:55:10,143
But somehow, if it wasn't destroyed,

594
00:55:11,562 --> 00:55:15,566
<i>then its return to Earth
would be right about…</i>

595
00:55:16,608 --> 00:55:17,609
<i>now.</i>
