START ONLINE PREMIERES

A SHARD OF THE UNIVERSE

Stay where you are.

Don't come near.

You came out at opposite ends.

You can't make any mistake.

Commander enters the hatch.

You enter on my command.

Megan, it's your turn.

- Are you in? - Yes.

Can you see his face?

- I can't, there's water. - Megan.

I'll depress the pressure in an emergency mode.

There is no other way. There'll be pressure jump.

- Can you hear me? - Very well!

Don't take off your spacesuit and don't open his spacesuit.

- But... - And he stays alive.

We only have two seconds. One second more, he'll choke.

One second less, he'll sustain fatal injuries.

On my command. One, two, three.

EPISODE 1

- Hi. - Hi.

Did something happen?

You haven't changed.

You're going out now?

Andrey.

- We need to talk. - Let's talk then.

Any problems with Danya?

Somebody's sick? Died?

Andrey, please let me go.

Before I go on, hear me, please.

You are very dear to me, I can't do this to you.

You can hit me when I'm done.

The thing is, I must have...

No...

I have fallen for another man.

- Well... - It wasn't yesterday.

I just tried...

He tried to end this.

It didn't work?

It did for him. He said this can't go on.

So he's tired of f*** you?

Who is he?

Who is he?

Nadya, who is he?

You think he'll come back if you'll leave your husband?

Poor Nadya.

What time is Danya coming?

At 8. He's in English class.

Why?

Trying to see how much time I have to beat you up.

Andrey, stop this.

I had to go to a health center.

Do me a favor.

Can you hold on for a month?

Play the part of loving wife at least until December 3.

- Sure. - I have a launch.

- What? - Semenov got bitten by dogs. No big deal.

They fear he'll show symptoms of rabies in orbit.

- Have they replaced the entire crew? - Only Semenov.

I'll go with Timur and Gennadiy.

- It's absurd. - Do you want to discuss crewing rules?

Sorry, Andrey. I really didn't know.

Yes or no?

I won't go if they think I have psychological problems.

Yes, of course.

Farewell photo. Tears at the Monument to Yuri Gagarin.

Sure.

Great.

- Good evening. - Hello.

- Get going, please. - Thanks.

- Natalya Pavlovna, hello! - Andrey Sergeevich!

- Will you be able to put me up? - Put you up?

- In a room. - I haven't received any orders.

I need to call Alexey Yurievich.

Natalia Pavlovna, don't call him. Really.

He'll make me take a Lusher test based on the wallpaper I got.

Natalya Pavlovna.

Hello, Alexey Yurievich. Sorry to have bothered you.

- It's okay. - It's a nonsense.

Can we figure this out without psychological support?

Nuh. We are used here as both servants and castellants.

But we are re-purposed.

Anyways, I'm really sorry.

Well.

What are you doing here so late?

You won't believe me.

I told my spouse about the launch. And here we go.

Hugs, tears.

I had no desire or opportunity to watch it all.

Come on.

We can talk outside if you want.

- God, there's nothing to tell! - Don't take the Lord's name in vain.

And don't take me for a Gestapo officer.

Alexey Yurievich, I just want to get some sleep, really.

If I stay at home my spouse will cry all night long.

I'll have to comfort her, plan a vacation when I get back.

Look.

You had a successful business.

I still have it. Space Optics.

Your partners own it more.

You turned your family's life around eight years ago.

You told them that you're now an astronaut.

It's like you were there.

They supported you and went through eight years of training.

And so you come here when it's finally supposed to happen.

You come to spend night at the health center.

Alexey Yurievich, if it's that complicated, I'll go home.

No, you'll go to a hotel. You know you made a mistake.

You should've gone straight to the hotel.

But Natalia Pavlovna was already calling me.

And you said "spouse".

But you always called her "wife".

- And that's important? - Yes.

I don't even know how to reassure you.

You don't have to.

I'm staying here. And you're supposed to go.

Sleep here.

Have a good night.

Hello. Come here, please.

- Hello! - Hi! - Good afternoon! - Hey!

- Emergency situation test. - Very well.

Breakdown of the ACS system. Possibly a drum pump.

Similar breakdown in the Tranquility module.

I'm heading to the compartment.

You know the difference now, Timur?

The Ph.D. is heading.

But sick Semenov would run with a head of steam.

Andrey Sergeevich.

Breakdown of two latrines at the station.

This is a humanitarian disaster.

We're out of bread?

Aren't you afraid you won't be able to fit into cradle?

How is Kamanin doing?

- What do you want me to say? - I can tell by your tone.

What?

It's certainly not his fault.

Is someone blaming him?

You're the crew commander and you can figure this out.

Why are you rooting for him?

I'm not.

- Come on, Larisa. - I'm fine.

- Come on! - I told you I'm fine.

By the way, I made a cake.

You have to get this cake to Semyonov.

- Gena! - What?

It's with liquor! I totally forgot!

Well done.

Mom, I'm home!

Hi!

Hi.

Dad's still out?

He'll stay in the health center in Zvezdny for a while.

Why?

Because he has a launch.

- How? - One crew member was replaced.

Why didn't he tell me?

He didn't get to say, 'cause he had to pack quickly.

Why didn't you tell me?

What's going on?

Are you hungry?

Sure, I have needs like our rat.

Eat, drink, sleep.

ZVEZDNY

Hi!

- I'm shocked by you and mom. - What?

Thanks for telling me everything.

- Where's your hat? - I'm fine!

Nothing has been decided yet.

There will also be a state exam, and final committee decision.

Why don't you come home? It was okay for you

to come here every day for 8 years straight.

- I have to be here. - I can tell something's up.

Mom is sad all the time. Did you have a fight or something?

Grow up, you two.

Buddy, I have training tomorrow morning.

You have to go.

Do you realize that when you leave, all this will seem like nonsense?

Any fight you had.

At least pull up your hood.

Bye. I got to go.

Good afternoon. To what do I owe the honor?

Have you got five minutes?

Sure.

Come in.

Green is good.

The color of harmony and inner peace.

It's more the color of household assortment.

Well, that's not good.

I'm sorry, but have you really been nosing through the garbage?

I like to tear off wallpaper in thin strips.

I love to burst a bubble wrap.

It makes me think.

It's not you I'm worried about, it's my pension.

If something happens, they'll say it's psychologists' fault.

It'd be pretty hard to hang myself in no gravity.

In 2002, a plane crashed in France.

130 people died.

Crew, passengers.

The co-pilot had a fight with his wife and, in an emergency situation,

he didn't understand what the crew commander wanted from him.

What do you think?

It happens.

Will it be the same at the station? Just curious.

I'm going to the latrine, and there are your glasses.

I'm sleeping and there are your glasses again.

His glasses are everywhere.

- I'm sorry. - That's not the point!

- We'll live and work together. - Gennadiy Gennadievich.

I know I annoy you.

If you can't control it, you should let the state committee know,

'cause I can't turn into Semenov.

Even if I eat, sleep, and shit without taking off my glasses.

On humor.

May I comment?

Actually, it's all my fault.

Timur Romanovich Kutovykh. The son of a twice hero blah, blah, blah.

A golden youth who cannot but go to space.

All this mess happened because of me and that's why the crew was changed.

Everybody knows that, so go ahead and kill me now.

You won't?

No one likes this situation, but everyone wants to go to space.

Timur Romanovich Kutovykh.

The man who drew an ass on the module panel.

Did the incident happen at practice?

- No. - No?

The crew commander warned me about some of flight nuances.

So that Timur Kutovykh had to intervene?

Yashin and I have a good working dialogue.

- Really? - Yeah.

Andrey Sergeevich.

Is Gennady Gennadyevich the one triggering the conflict?

We know he does that a lot.

Again, Yashin and I have good working relations.

I talked about the honor of being a member of a space dynasty.

We discussed artistic creation. Painting.

You were heard from behind the door. They say the conversation was very heated.

- They think they did. - Have I ever been your enemy?

I know it's your job.

But we can clear it without you.

You and Andrey have always had normal, not close relationship.

But after he was selected to the crew, the situation worsened.

You've been in orbit for over 400 days and

we should probably listen to you if you don't like that guy so much.

I don't like enemas before the flight either.

You want to talk about it?

- Hello! - Hello.

- Nadya? - Yes.

- We had you and... - Him?

He said his friends have the best kosher restaurant in the city

and the best vorschmack also here.

- Really? - Yeah.

He hasn't called in a while.

How is he doing?

I don't know. It's been so very long since we've met.

Are you waiting for someone or are you alone?

I'm alone.

In case you're wondering,

he never brought anyone here to eat vorschmack but you.

Hello? It's me.

- I just wanted to hear your voice. - Why?

I know, we handled it, especially now when he's leaving, but...

I miss you so much. I miss you terribly.

Alexey Yurievich.

This is all the information on Kamanin.

Do you know that not everyone who is trained

in the group of astronauts will go into space?

I do.

Do you know that in 7 to 12 years of training

you may lose skills in your former profession?

I do.

What will be with you if you don't fly?

I will fly.

PILOT ASTRONAUT FORM

Have you come to take someone's soul?

You sell your souls, don't you?

As soon as you join the group.

And in return you get those nice luxury apartments.

You'd better figure out why there's no hot water.

Four accesses to space and baby's two months old.

And you'll use your tests to guess why the astronaut is nervous.

Kamanin had a problem with an anechoic room.

An incorrectly conducted experiment.

- What? - Technical error.

It's not Kamanin's fault, but we have no right to allow him to fly.

In entering continuous performance mode,

assistant turned on the light at a bad time.

The delay was 20 minutes.

- Is this important? - It is.

If this is important to you, why didn't you notice it for 8 years?

I notice everything.

I'm rarely listened to.

Okay.

If it's that important to you, I'm ready to pass it again.

Do you want to pass the anechoic room again?

If this is your technical error, I can do that.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the need

to coordinate a time for the space training program experiment.

These are not your test mice. They are astronauts.

Our government has invested a lot of money in their training.

What if you put a lot of money into your car

and then you see a tire is slashed, would you still go?

Why does a future astronaut pass the anechoic room once in his life?

'Cause 72 hours with no sleep is like a scanner at the airport.

You think you're covered by your dress, underwear, but I can see everything.

And he passes it once in life, 'cause it's out of charity to the observer.

Isn't it because it's a hard test,

and person risks coming out of it with a broken mentality?

Remember Roslin?

He started showing signs of psychosis on the second day.

You should've stopped the experiment, but you didn't.

You should've fired me.

- Alexey Yurievich. - What? Go, come on!

I'll go work at a gas station. And make more money, by the way.

Why do you always steer the conversation towards money?

'Cause I'll tell Nesterov and Ostapenko that I decline all responsibility.

Did you let Latypov go into space when you found him in preinfarction angina?

You don't even let astronauts with a runny nose to fly.

Semenov was bitten by an innocent dog, and you grounded him.

You should've grounded the entire crew.

I'll tell about the Kutovykh.

You listen to anyone but psychologists.

- Alexey Yurievich. - What?

Well, let's cancel his exams.

In Solntsevo, a boy hanged himself because of school exams.

They know what they're doing.

Come in.

Am I the only one here?

Make yourself at home. Let's have a drink and talk.

- What's up with Kamanin? - Gennadievych, don't.

It's fine.

He'll be retested.

The committee gave us the go ahead.

I heard about your conversation with the committee.

It's a pity no one posted it on YouTube. Why are you doing this?

I told you. The previous experiment went wrong.

Let's have a drink!

Thanks.

I think you're too hung up on Kamanin.

He spent eight years preparing for the launch.

I didn't want him on the crew either, but the anechoic room it's too much.

Quantum Testbed is not torture.

This is how we can find out how ready he is for a long stay in orbit.

Rakhimov saw an aye-aye at the 53rd hour, didn't he?

He said there was a little animal sitting there.

The funny thing is, he had never seen the aye-aye before.

But he described it so accurately, the biologists checked it.

Yeah, 'cause the aye-aye is a sign of God.

You can almost reach the Lord there, but we are here.

We mere mortals pester you with predicate syntagmatic associations.

Tell the committee you made a mistake.

Say the experiment went well.

Or what?

Alexey Yurievich, stop it.

The management doesn't like you.

And now you're antagonizing the group.

I'd install anechoic rooms in every registry office.

So people would know who they were marrying.

Almost no cost.

Just an airtight room, silence, and no sleep for 72 hours.

And let them tell whatever they want, even about museums.

We have this exercise. It's called Free Reporting.

You can hear so much there that everything becomes clear.

For example, how they feel about children and whether they love them.

And how they really feel about their friends.

Go ahead and eat.

- I have to go. - Do you want some tea?

Next time.

Thanks, Gennadievych.

Goodbye.

He tasted your food and ran away.

What are you bothering him?

He does his job, he is responsible for it.

Just as you're responsible for docking.

- Why are you acting like he's the villain? - You don't understand.

I do actually, you say nothing to psychologists.

They make pennies, and also you treat them so badly.

- Go get him and feel sorry for him. - I will.

I felt sorry for him when he made that joke about the registry office.

He was so calm, but you could see how he feels.

If he was a really good psychologist, he wouldn't be twice divorced.

Gena, you're so harsh.

I know why you love him.

Me?

You think he's winking at you, but in fact he has a nervous tic.

You're such an idiot!

120 over 80.

- Have you had cold in the last week? - No.

- How do you sleep? - Good.

He hadn't slept for several days before the anechoic room.

Really?

He always has the lights on in his room.

One day I went outside. There was a silhouette in the window.

It was 3:00 a.m.

Did his wife come to see him?

She didn't.

But his son did.

They talked and he left.

But his wife wasn't there.

I see.

In 10 minutes you need to create a complete story based on this excerpt.

Think of what happened before, what the conversation is about now

and how the story will unfold.

Also answer the questions: who are the characters?

Age. Occupation. Character.

What is the relationship between the characters?

Can you imagine yourself in the shoes of any of them?

Operator Chestnut began the task.

Big and messy room.

Desk, chair, bookshelves.

She (hiding an ironic smile):

Well? What's next?

He: Are you kidding me?

I want to know...

what causes such suffer.

There's a change in speech tempo, intonation after the word "know".

Is your father really an astronaut?

- Why? - Or did your mom make that up?

Is there a problem?

Is he okay at all?

He wanted to go in space?

Just like a retard?

Can we talk?

I can see that you and dad are in strife.

What are you hiding from me?

Does he have another woman?

- No-no. - Then what is it?

Your father and I decided not to be together anymore.

It was before I knew about the launch.

May I ask the reason?

Mom, I'm an adult. You've always been my friend.

- Not on Facebook, though. - No one accept requests from parents.

You know all about me.

All important.

Well?

I've got another man.

I had another man and fell in love with...

him, so I can't be with your father.

You're disgusting.

You ruined our lives.

Underline the letter K, and cross out the letter M.

Underline the letter M, and cross out the letter K.

Matvey, stay close!

Do me a favor. Talk to Kamanin's wife, please.

- Why? - Let her come to him.

She could pass a note to the anechoic room, meet him.

Must I explain every single thing to you?

He had been preparing for his flight for eight years.

Ten minutes. Perfect.

Hello.

Thanks for meeting me here.

Gena asked me to talk to you.

Did you know Andrey is now being retested in the anechoic room?

Did you?

Of course I did.

I'm not going to get involved in your relationship,

you're adults and you'll figure it out on your own.

But now whatever he did to you, he needs help.

May I take your order?

I'll have an Americano without sugar or milk.

Water, please.

You know, I once saw a launch at Baikonur.

I've seen how they can't walk after 200 days in weightlessness.

That's when I realized what my husband's job meant.

You'll see later. They have heels like newborn babies.

In grown men in their forties.

I see.

What can I change about this anechoic room thing?

Give him something.

Guys are going to give him something. Souvenir or note.

Souvenir.

God save my mortal soul, I gave Gena the label from my underwear.

We were at the beach, and he kept asking me what was sticking out of my underwear.

Give him something...

to let him know that you love him and you're waiting for him.

Okay, I'll write something.

Not on a napkin, wait.

Here.

Excuse me, please, but do you always call him Andrey?

Maybe better call him Andryusha or Honey bunny?

What do you call him when you are alone?

I definitely don't call him Honey bunny.

What then?

Larisa, I'll do it right.

Come and meet him. I'll order you a pass.

- Hi, Sveta. - How is he?

Fine. He almost fall asleep twice. And his blood pressure is a little high.

Did the the aye-aye come?

Not yet.

Postcard.

Oranges.

Did his wife give you anything?

Yep, a note.

Eeny, meeny, miney, mo.

Catch a tiger by the toe.

If he hollers, let...

KAMA! YOU CAN COUNT ON ME!

I'm sorry.

I have fallen for another man.

Please let me go.

Kama, please.

Test case no. 54.

Operator Chestnut.

Create an oral story using the words: Kama, despair, trust.

The goal is to check internal timing

without the possibility of matching with external sources.

The duration is three minutes.

Operator Chestnut began his task on March 27, 2016 at 3:12 p.m.

We met in December 1997.

I was a graduate student at my university, and she was an architecture student.

I had exams to take, but I didn't know anything.

She was sitting in the corner on the bed.

Actually, my friend and I went to see another girl.

She was knitting something black, brutal.

She was wearing jeans, gray knit socks, and a plaid shirt.

She asked my name again.

I said I was Andrey.

She said she knew a lot of Andreys.

She asked my last name, and I said I was Kamanin.

She was out of bed by this time.

And she put away her awful knitting.

Which later turned out to be a scarf.

My scarf.

To my despair.

"Kamanin!" said my future wife.

You can count on me.

"I make a coffee with coke better than anyone else in the world."

You won't sleep for three days after drinking it.

You'll have time to learn it all, unless you're an idiot.

17 years have passed since then, and I can still count on her.

We have an amazing son, Danya.

We have a funny rat named Fedor, big plans for life.

"You'll do great, Kama!" said my future wife the day we met.

Her love and trust is the most important thing I have in life.

Report is over.

2 minutes and 58 seconds.

- Well done! - Good for you!

I already thought you were going to stay there.

- Where are the glasses? - The results are great. Well done!

Come over and give him a hug.

I said come over and give him a hug. He deserved this flight.

- With you in the same crew? - Come on.

Join us!

He will join us of course!

Well done!

- How are you? - I'm fine.

I'm very sleepy.

You must've realized that I already talked to Andrey?

I told him I didn't love him anymore. I didn't say anything about you.

Go home.

You'll never call me again?

Never.

Do you love me?

Why?

Why're you asking?

What are the options?
