Original subtitles

Okay, let's keep ice on that knee for another 10 minutes. We'll be back to

on you soon.

What was the last time you ate?

The lunch, I guess.

Couldn't eat if I tried.

I know it's rough. Just waiting for news.

How you holding up?

Honestly, being here with you guys, it helps a ton.

That and not talking about how I'm holding up.

Yeah, copy that.

Hey, are you guys free?

Uh, yeah, where do you need us? Uh, Mr. Gomez, he was knocked over by a delivery

bot. I think he has a brain ankle. Okay, we'll take care of him. Hey, got two

new volunteers for you. Nurse Patty and lifeguard Stu.

Good, get them started on yellow text. Got it.

How's her shoulder?

It's dislocated. If you're okay with it, Eddie here can pop it back into place.

You don't want to handle this guy?

No, you got this, Eddie.

Mom!

You're back!

Oh, my sweeties.

How's Mama?

She says hi.

Come on, I'll tell you all about it.

What's the latest on Hen and Athena?

They made it to the ISS.

What?

There's no way of knowing what's going on or what shape they're in.

So they're in a black box in the middle of space.

In the middle of a debris field.

Maybe no news is good news.

I hope so.

Everybody okay?

Uh -huh. Yeah.

You're here.

Tina! Yeah. You good?

Yeah.

Considering we're on a space station that just took a thousand bullets.

Well, then let's get the hell out of here.

Agreed. So, what's the plan?

We were hoping you could tell us.

You mean Trip Houser sent you here with no further instruction?

Trip didn't send us. My wife works for Powell. She reached us with a Meridian

sat phone and directed us here.

Meridian doesn't work this high.

We know. She said that we could come here and wait for help. No, help is not

coming. All our comms are down.

Nav is shot, and in 44 minutes, that debris field either skewers us or knocks

out our last heat exchanger and turns us into human ice cubes.

We climbed aboard a sinking ship.

Isn't there an escape pod or something?

The Soyuz, but it only rides four.

So we strip it down, and then I'll rig up some more seats.

Could that work?

Yeah, it could.

Just one problem.

I tried the Soyuz after the second debris hit. It won't launch.

The docking ring was warped during the first hit. It's stuck.

So how do we unstick it?

Normally, I'd use the Dexter.

The Dexter?

That's the 2 -ton robotic arm. We saw it on the way in.

The thing with the dead guy?

His name's Engineer Sean Joyner.

He was doing maintenance on the arm when the storm first hit.

He never got to finish.

Someone needs to get out there and finish whatever he was doing. Yeah.

I'll do it.

Captain's got a punctured lung.

I'm the only other one who's been NASA trained for a spacewalk. No offense, but

that's when the Brady Bunch was in its original broadcast run.

And we need you here working on the escape capsule. We don't even have an

Well, who then?

I'll do it.

Now let's get to work.

We're running out of time.

What makes an everyday hero?

Hell if I know.

I don't consider myself a hero, everyday or otherwise.

I'm just...

A working mom.

I put on a uniform, but it could be a waitress or a mail carrier uniform. It's

job. That's all.

It is not like in the movies.

You spend a lot of time on patrol just waiting, watching, paying attention.

Still waiting on that order?

Just waiting on the coffee. She was making a fresh pot.

Cops and donuts. My God, McCluskey, did you coin the damn stereotype?

Two things as a cop you never want to need or be without.

Your gun and a Kroger.

I got my breakfast glaze and my post -lunch Boston cream. That's my mid

-afternoon pick -me -up. And your pre -dinner heart attack.

Here you go. Thank you.

Cinnamon, please.

And you forgot the bill. There is one.

Paid by the guy over there in the corner.

He's coming over. Oh, God forbid.

Aren't you the one who keeps complaining about your female partners coupling up?

I have abandonment issues.

I eat my feelings, but I'm a romantic deep down.

Morning, officer.

Carter, is it? Thank you, really, that this was unnecessary.

I disagree.

I see you in here most mornings, protecting, so I figured the least I

is serve.

Black coffee, two sugars, and a cinnamon chaser, right?

Some might call that stalking.

Or some might say I'm an attentive listener.

Don't mind Carter here. Her idea of flirting these days is reading Miranda.

Oh, maybe that's the reason I don't see a ring on that finger.

It's really not.

Or maybe you just haven't met a man skilled in the ways of courtship.

Now, me, I'm polite. I bring flowers.

Mothers love me.

My mother's in Florida.

Come on, McCluskey, we're on the clock.

Thanks for the coffee.

Trying to figure out what was wrong with that guy back there.

Like to hear himself talk.

When was the last time you went out on an actual date?

None of your business. I am no Sunday school teacher. I do fun.

I didn't ask you when the last time you knocked boots with some random guy at

last call.

When is the last time you allowed yourself to get serious with someone?

I mean, what has it been?

Seven years since Emmett died?

He didn't die.

He was murdered.

It's coming up on eight years.

Don't you think it's time to get back out into the world?

I'm in the world five days a week with you.

I would like to see and meet someone nice.

Why do you care?

Pure self -interest.

It's better to ride with a partner who has a reason to want to make it home at

the end of the day.

Says the guy who has two ex -wives and no pets.

Believe me, when I was married, I had a lot less incentive to want to make it

home.

Carter!

I'm going to check on the driver. You call it in.

Dickbatch? Sir!

Buddy, you okay? Hey!

Hey, buddy.

He's dead.

Heart attack?

He's been shot.

Where'd it come from?

I have no idea.

Dispatch, be advised.

Shots fired at the intersection of Channel and 5th.

One motorist fatality. Request backup in an RA unit.

Copy. Unit's on the way. What do you think? Drive -by?

Car -to -car?

Maybe. Maybe it came from one of these buildings.

Well, he was traveling eastbound.

It went right across his windshield, so it probably happened as he was

approaching that light.

So, down there maybe?

Hey, look at that.

No sign of a driver.

Engine's running.

Keys in ignition.

Hey, Carter, take a look at this.

You know a lot of armored messengers using .450 caliber armor -piercing

There's about 2 ,000 rounds in here.

Chuck's not the target.

No. The getaway vehicle.

Dispatch, we advised.

We got a possible .211 at Cal -Am Bank.

One block east of our last position.

Suspect is likely armed.

High -grade armor -piercing ammunition.

Copy. Backup units are en route.

What do you want to bet there's a bullet hole in one of those windows?

McCluskey, wait for backup.

You are my backup.

Come on.

I caught four suspects.

Twelve to fifteen civilians.

Dispatch, we're gonna back up. Moments away, officer. Come on, come on.

Hey, hey, hey.

You take downstairs.

I got up.

Check, check.

Damn

it!

LAPD!

Drop your weapon!

I'm going to take a look.

Oh, my God. Yeah, I can tell without even looking.

I've got to get you out of here.

I'm no hero.

I've worked with a few over the years, but the reason I'm sitting here right

and they're not the real heroes are the ones who never made it home.

This is it?

Soviet technology.

Well, how the hell are we all going to fit?

Well, shop class and astrophysics.

I'm riding a few hundred pounds.

Weight is speed, and speed is heat. You're saying that we're all going to

up in the atmosphere?

I'm saying we're going to have to strip this down if we don't want to.

Take a pound out for each pound we put in.

Already seems pretty bare bones.

Yeah, compared to your private jet, but still there's backup life support,

backup fuel supply. That's maybe $1 .50 right there.

Just me, or do we always end up needing the backup?

The only thing we need right now is luck.

Come on, give me your hand.

Did he have a family?

Excuse me?

Joiner. Did he leave anyone behind?

Two kids.

Nora and John.

His wife. They were trying to make things work.

Now, your tether is your lifeline.

Clip in.

Follow the track to Joiner where you'll retrieve your replacement pin.

All you have to do is insert the last pin, and the arm should be functional.

Sounds simple enough.

Except everything, including yourself, is moving at twice the speed of sound.

you get hit by debris, even a particle, it's game over.

For all of us.

Of course, there are risks.

Sounds about the job. You know that when you sign up, but you're not signing up

for the danger.

That makes sense.

Why did I sign up?

I felt I could make a difference.

Simple as that.

No, no, no, no, no. Look, look, look. Hey, stay with me.

Stay awake for me.

Athena, it's Rick.

Rick, we're pinned in the plaza on the south side of the conflict.

McCluskey's down. We're going to need an emergency evac immediately.

Yeah, it's going to be a minute.

We can't get over there right now. We're a little outgunned at the moment.

Where are the snipers?

Snipers are assuming their positions.

Air support?

They had to get out of here. They were being shot at. We rolling SWAT?

They're on their way. They're about 15 minutes out.

McCluskey doesn't have 15 minutes.

I'll let command know.

You got to get up right now. You got to get up right now.

Are we going somewhere?

You have to get up right now. You just have to make it through the street. I

will help you. Come on.

Okay.

Wait. Wait.

You want to walk out?

No.

We're going to drive.

Come on.

Okay. On three.

One.

Two.

Do we think that was important?

I hope not.

God, if we get home, I am so breaking up with Tripp.

He did blast us into a space hurricane.

And left us for dead, because to Tripp we're just a write -off.

You know, I used to think that he was an awkward genius, good with numbers, bad

with people.

Now I think maybe he's just bad.

You know what Tripp gets me for Valentine's every year?

Stock. Oh.

I own 1 % of his company, but he can't remember my star sign.

Gemini.

You said it a few times in training.

Yeah.

It's not that hard.

Dina, why are you wearing that?

Because NASA's suit is better than ours for a spacewalk.

I said I would do it.

I heard you.

You give us a minute.

You got it.

That astronaut out there has a family who thinks he's coming home, and so do

you. And so do you.

And I plan on seeing him soon.

But if something goes wrong, me and Harry are grown.

I won't risk your kids losing their mother or Karen losing the love of her

You can't decide what risk I take.

Okay, you shouldn't even be up here. I made you come with me. And I said yes

because there's nothing left for me on Earth. That's not true. You have people

who are willing to do anything for you.

I have more in heaven.

That's not heaven, Athena. That's space.

It's cold and it's empty.

He's not out there, Athena.

You know I lost him too, right?

But not like I did.

I'm not doing this because I'm altruistic. I'm doing it because I'm

I can't lose anybody else, Hen.

All I have left is me.

Now you can try and tear this suit off me, but it'll take you ten minutes to

it on.

Now we're running out of time.

Don't make me come out there after you.

Has it been worth it? Yes.

I think so.

You do this job because you want to make the world a more ordered place.

Not just for the people you meet on the streets, but for the people you love.

You want it to be a better, safer place for them.

They're really the reason you're out there, and they are absolutely the

you find a way to make it home at the end of the day.

For me, it's about my friends, my children, my husband.

All you have to do is remove the faulty pin from the dexter arm and replace it

with the one engineer joiner should still have on him.

That's it, Sergeant.

You're doing fine.

An inch at a time.

The green comes round.

About 20 minutes.

Oh.

So where's this pen?

In the pouch on his right side.

Got it.

Athena! Incoming!

Are

you

okay?

You're going to the elbow joint.

Get back. Untangle it.

There's no time.

Athena, what are you doing?

I'm guessing she doesn't do great with orders.

She loves to give them.

Move your ass.

Is that her EKG?

Yes.

Athena, are you feeling all right? I see your heart rate's jumping to 110.

It's just a window.

Heart rate's 120. Is her O2 tank full?

Yeah, but the flow rate is low.

She's not getting enough O2.

The regulator must have gotten damaged when she took that hit.

Flow rate's still dropping.

Athena!

Listen to me!

The regulator is broken!

The regulator...

Return to the airlock immediately.

Do you copy, Sergeant?

Where are you right now?

Athena! Do you copy?

Athena!

She's gonna be unconscious if she doesn't get back inside!

Even if I had another suit, we'd never make it to her in time.

You need to let go.

You hit?

Yeah.

Put this on good and tight.

Romero, do you copy?

Romero!

Rick!

Damn it!

Forget it.

This thing is steel -plated.

I'm sorry.

Only one is sorry.

You said to wait for backup.

I should have listened to you.

Maybe next time you will.

Yeah.

I'm not making it out of here.

Like hell you won't.

But you might.

And if you do, I want the works.

You hear me?

I want the velvet light casket, the flags, the ten guns to loot,

the bagpipes.

Say something nice about me.

Extol my virtues. You know, life after.

foot on my grave again.

I'm serious about that.

You have to move on.

Move forward.

Whatever.

Just move.

You are not dying.

Not today.

Oh. Oh, hey.

You gotta get rid of that jewelry.

Hey, my friend.

Oh, I see.

You didn't know that I knew you were wearing an idea uniform.

Oh,

I did.

Get rid of it.

It's not regulation.

Since when did you care about regulation?

You're supposed to learn from me.

Stop becoming me.

Hey, hey, no.

No, no, no, no, no. Wake up.

You need

to

let go.

You've hung on for so long.

Pinterest.

You could just float away.

Wouldn't that be so nice?

Away from all the pain.

All the loss.

So much loss.

And for what?

What's it all been for anyway?

moments in between no matter how far apart they may be

like dark

there's so much dark between them

cold empty forever

but as long as there's light

There's hope.

They keep us going, those stars, those moments,

like a dance between lovers or a laugh between friends. They pull us along.

warm us. They blaze with

all that's good until the darkness.

Not today.

Athena!

Grab the arm, Athena!

Pain is the price we pay for joy.

And it's a fair trade. A good deal.

Because any second instant moment of joy is like a diamond

in the darkness.

stars my letting go and floating away is not how you get to the next

one how do you

Let's go home.

All systems are up and ready, Captain.

No damage to the flight controls.

There are only four seats?

Oh, there's five.

Captain Stanton needs to ride prone.

Henrietta said she needs to monitor her bum lung on the way into Earth orbit.

We need to adjust the pressure as we descend or else her lung will explode.

Okay. But there's six of us.

Yeah. I'm staying behind.

What do you mean? Why?

Someone has to be here to operate the Dexter arm, otherwise nobody's going

anywhere. Lewis, you might not survive.

Then again, I might.

Captain? Major Lewis Kern, I hereby promote you to commanding officer of the

International Space Station.

I won't let you down.

Buckle in, everybody.

Safe journey back home.

It was not.

Real gentle.

I can now report NASA has confirmed that not only are all five macronauts alive

and well, but also rescued from the ISS was Captain Naomi Stanton.

Tripp, whose idea was it to send the Inara to the International Space

I won't say that it was my idea. There was a lot of very smart people working

very hard to make sure this mission was a success.

And none of those people are up there on that podium.

But I will say no one here ever gave up hope.

And that's what space exploration is about.

Hope and the future.

And we're getting word now that that Soyuz module should be hitting the

atmosphere at any moment. Some 75 miles above its projected touchdown out in the

Mojave Desert.

And now comes the real test for that battered Soyuz. As it reenters at 17

miles per hour and temperatures of 5 ,000 degrees.

Will it keep you told?

Hey. Hey.

Here I am about to take the detective exam for the third time, and you figure

out a shortcut to promotion.

Those bank robbers, same ones that hit that bank back in Winnetka.

And six more.

Well, most of the credit, if you can call it that, goes to my idiot partner.

When can I see him?

McCluskey didn't make it, Athena.

Oh.

I'll let the nurses know you're awake.

Oh.

They asked me if they should hold this.

I figured you'd want it.

And now we're getting confirmation that the drogue and the main chutes have

deployed.

And a visual now. It appears that re -entry has been a success.

Oh, my God.

Hey, they made it. Not yet.

At this point, the capsule should slow to about seven meters per second. But

even so, they're going to hit the Earth with the force of a head -on collision.

I mean, that wasn't fun.

Oh,

feels good.

All

right, you

two. Go ahead and go brush your teeth.

We'll be in soon to tuck you in. Welcome back, Mama.

God,

I'm exhausted.

This house is a mess.

This will never look better to me.

How does it feel to be an astronaut?

How does it feel to be a hero?

Just doing my job.

You want to go to bed?

More than anything.

A new day in Los Angeles, and indeed on Earth. With the crew

of the Inara 2 home safe, and the skies clear of space debris, rebuilding

efforts have already begun.

Yes? The sky has fallen, but we're still here, picking up the pieces.

Given the global impact of what is being called the Trifthauser disaster,

casualties could have been far worse.

It's almost as if someone up there has been looking out for us.

I'll bet you in his long, long career, Bill Belichick has never designed a game

plan for Earth orbit.

Also on the Menderstock crisis, for Juggernaut Tectonics, which jumped.

12 points on NASDAQ, thanks to a change in leadership.

Oh, you can have this back.

You might need to pawn it.

Pumpkin. Bye.

Parker Strait takes the reins after yoga instructor Tricia Benoit tipped the

boat with her 1 % stake, proving that heroes really can't come from anywhere.

You're sure you don't need any help? No.

You should just sit down and let the professional handle it.

Do you know what's going on?

The only thing we talked about on the car ride over here was about milk

selection. All right.

Here you go.

Enjoy. Thank you.

Now, I still want you to go to college.

But I can't lie.

That's a good latte.

It is a good latte.

I know things weren't the greatest between us before you left for space.

And I'm really sorry about that.

Me not knowing if we'd ever have a chance to talk again.

I'm sorry.

I haven't been.

Present these last few months for either of you.

I wish I had a great excuse.

You've been grieving, Mom.

But so have you.

I'm sorry you had to do it without me.

I hope you can forgive me.

We love you.

Of course we can.

Well, you might regret having me back because we about to have a hard talk

your future.

Now, I'm not saying that you have to go back to high school.

But we need to make a plan for what you do next.

It's okay, Mom.

I already have a plan.

Last night, I sent to my application to join the Los Angeles Fire Department.

You did what?

I'm going to be a firefighter.

The thing about this earth is that it just keeps turning.

And what can you do except turn with it?

License and registration, please. Officer Carter.

I'd ask if I was speeding, but I hadn't hit the gas. You sure as hell were

coming on full speed the other morning. Until you slammed on the brake.

Which leaves us with city ordinance 80 .69, parked in excess of the time limits

posted. So, now what would my mother say about me dating such a flagrant

criminal?

Well, like I said, mothers hate me. I mean, I'm a bad seed, but a good choice

you're looking to rebel.

Your violation number's on the front of that ticket, and if you care to contest

it, my phone number's on the back.

Have a good evening, Mr. Grant.

Michael.

Michael.

Yeah.
