A SHARD OF THE UNIVERSE

EPISODE 3

What if it's a warning?

- Damn launch. - Don't say that.

What should I say then?

First the dogs.

They replace Semenov.

Then this weather thing.

And then that girl shouted, "Come back soon!"

First, we'll consecrate the ship.

Four accidents since 1998. All unconsecrated commercial launches.

Including Proton.

Weather. What about it?

Today the wind is 15 m/s, and tomorrow everything will change.

Something's eating at you.

You think this is a warning to you personally.

Sure!

Rain, wind, dogs breeding in bushes.

And the reason is that Yashin sucks.

He sucks so much that there are reversed geomagnetic fields.

You're an adult. You have technical education.

As a crew commander, I do what I have to do.

And I have to pull myself together and keep the crew's spirit.

Am I right?

I'm right.

We haven't welcomed women here lately.

Stay out of the rocket, women!

But the situation is difficult.

We still don't know about the launch date.

Anatoly Maksimovich Nesterov has already flown out to Baikonur.

And I think it's only right for you to support your husbands.

I'm sorry, but we can't really help, can we?

I had already said goodbye to my husband.

We said all the right words to each other and I had never cried over a husband.

- He... - Can I have a word?

Did you take a picture here?

Did you like yourself here?

Then forget the word "I".

Otherwise, you should've married a plumber.

You'll fly to Baikonur, you'll smile like the other wives.

You'll wear special uniform like the other wives.

Andrey Kamanin deserved to be seen off like the others.

Don't kill me with the mechanical arm.

You're 1.5 meters away.

- Luke... - I am your father!

I come out of the airlock.

Come on.

Will you buy a convertible when we arrive?

No.

I'll buy Maserati GranTurismo.

With a beautiful nose.

- You're about to get it all mixed up. - No, we're not.

Maserati is a really cool car.

And spend all salary on gasoline.

- It doesn't consume that much. - Sure.

- Stop! - Stop command.

Do I understand right that you've now given orders to your commander?

You really had a bad trajectory.

You have no instinct or experience.

I've got some stones too.

Another second, the situation could've been irreversible.

A second?

Three seconds at most.

This.

And this.

Happen to be two different things.

- 3.3. - What?

The interval you just snapped.

It is not three seconds, but 3.3.

What was the name of the robot in Star Wars that bored everyone being opinionated?

I don't remember.

Never mind. There you go, Tima.

We put nothing over nothing.

Now I know who the chainsaw says not to stop with hands and genitals.

Instructions!

Was I wrong?

You wasn't.

- How you feel? - We're in good spirits.

Any problems or complaints?

Only against God.

Of course we can launch from a puddle, but we want it to be perfect.

I see. Your complaint is noted.

How are you getting on?

Are there any problems that the psychologist told us about?

There is a complaint about Alexey Yurievich.

We keep having that dream about him.

He comes with us for breakfast and lunch and eats our muffins.

Of course Sergeyevich may need him to calm down.

But the muffins never coming back.

My husband, by the way... Here you are!

also doesn't like sentimentality, long farewells.

They told me about movie.

Yeah! What do you think?

It's for two or three minutes.

They watch it on the way to the launch.

It's like...

The wedding.

Or family moments, some simple words to your husband

about how much you love and wait for him.

And?

The psychologist will watch the movie.

Andrey, you are...

one of the smartest and strongest people I've ever seen in my life.

And I know how important everything that's going on now.

For you and for us.

Danya and I believe in you.

We're waiting for you.

While you are there I'll think of St. Petersburg,

living out of a suitcase for two years,

the German bar "Schwarzen Raben". Do you remember?

You remember that, too, Kama.

- Hi. - Hi.

You need to record a video message to your father.

The psychologist will see it.

Hi! Can I at least breathe near you?

Of course you can! What's up?

Fine! We're checking out the ship.

Could you pass two rings to the stackers

so they can put them in the first aid kit or the uniform?

Sure!

We don't care about quarantine.

What did I do? I just leaned out a little bit.

I swear, this was the last time. I'm telling you!

Spencer had a toothache in orbit.

- Why me? - Then who? You're the one flying.

Come here, Timur Romanovich.

You did it all in class.

The main thing in zero gravity is to fixate yourself and a patient.

- Why does he need these sneakers? - What do you expect from Kutovych?

He said they were more comfortable to train in.

Well.

- And Gennadievich... - Gennadievich has a 20 gram excess.

He said he was ready to leave the Mihrutka.

Okay.

Mikhrutka was flying when Kutovykh was a kid.

- Kamanin has 1,200 kg. - Sorry, Alexey asked me to comment.

Dear management and colleagues!

I know that no one really listens to psychologists,

nevertheless I'll allow myself a little experiment.

I haven't seen the Kamanin's stuff, but I can guess what's there.

There'll be an e-book.

A picture of family camping two years ago.

Letter from mother.

Student construction brigade or refresher training.

Kamanin will show that he has friends.

This would be the perfect kit of an astronaut.

And also a person who is in a state of response to stress,

in which the patient doesn't make any complaints,

speaks in a flat voice, and is generally emotionless.

In such state, patient could have derealization.

In such a state, and not under God, a person sees an aye-aye.

But everyone here knows football and psychology.

Everyone knows that Kamanin is fine better than me.

Then you get my salary.

They sell camel milk here. It's very good for children.

Where did you buy a camel hair jackets?

Jesus, are you getting old?

I'm not the same person. I want to lie on couch, watch a movie.

Could I become familiar with your directorial work?

Aloha, dad!

Well... I wish you a safe trip!

If you'll be flying over Vladivostok in May, look for my exam answers.

Don't you have high-definition photography there?

Andrey, you are...

one of the smartest and strongest people I've ever seen in my life.

And I know how important everything that's going on now.

For you and for us.

Danya and I believe in you. We're waiting for you.

It's an anxiety cough.

It occurs before every launch.

Your throat is fine.

Have you tried taking a sedative beforehand?

It's 37 degrees.

No. It's 36,9.

Last year one French girl had a temperature of 37.2.

Neither she nor the other girls were allowed to see their husbands.

No touching or kissing.

Can I have a word? Don't worry, we'll disinfect her again.

Come on!

Do you want some tea?

- No, thanks. - Muffin, cookies?

Okay. I just have a couple of questions for you.

You have a rat?

Yes, we do.

My first wife and I had a ferret.

I said that he wouldn't live in my office, but he anyways lived and died there.

This is where the cage is, right? I can see the gnawed curtain.

That's right.

But where is the cage? I don't see it in the reflection.

The rat ran away.

- How long ago? - A few days ago.

Does Andrey Sergeyevich know?

'Cause judging by the interview, Fedor was a family member for him.

He jokes about him here.

And here. Twelve days ago.

- Did you tell him? - No.

- You didn't want to upset him? - You're right.

And you didn't put the cage in the frame.

To make it look like rat is there.

I didn't think of that.

It's okay, but you did great here. Just amazing!

Cup of tea.

Home, comfort, photo.

- Is it kindergarten photo? - Yes.

You could've put your photo with Andrey Sergeyevich.

But it'd be too much. And these kindergarten photos have every family.

When I get fired, I'm going to be a photographer.

I wonder how much they get from each photoshoot.

One picture costs about 300 rubles, I think.

Who's looking at it?

You mean this picture?

We do look at it. Our guests.

The photo is too far away.

You can't see it from the couch, especially from the entrance to the room.

TV announcer is looking at it.

Or the camera you put under the TV.

This is a still life made for me.

And this movie is made for me, not for Andrey Sergeyevich.

You really want to show me that your family doing great.

Sergeyevich, ask them where's your wife.

They'll tell me she's talking to a psychologist.

Andrey, you are...

one of the smartest and strongest people I've ever seen in my life.

Past tense.

Danya and I believe in you.

We're waiting for you.

While you are there I'll think of St. Petersburg,

living out of a suitcase for two years,

the German bar "Schwarzen Raben".

Again. You never address your husband personally in the present tense.

Danya and I, we are.

Do you have a regular sex?

Yes.

But you slept in your clothes at the holiday facility.

I assume your husband and you have a serious conflict.

Even divorce.

And you agreed to pretend to be a family so he wouldn't be taken off the flight.

Timur Romanovich, did you always know you'd be an astronaut?

Yes, since I was a toddler.

At the age of 3, mom locked me in the bathroom,

saying it was an anechoic room.

Question for the crew commander.

You'll start another landmark in space science.

You'll work on docking and commissioning of the newest Russian research module.

So my question is...

Crew cohesion is especially important in this situation like, isn't it?

I wouldn't be happy if my onboard engineer locked himself inside

and wouldn't let me back in.

But it's not about us.

All crew members have been training for the flight for a long time.

And I trust my life to any of these guys.

A mistake in space worth this.

Funeral of Vladimir Mikhailovich Komarov.

His remains.

And you and Andrey play conspirators

who need to trick the bad guys for a fun adventure.

We're not playing anything.

Andrey can't properly assess the situation due to his psychological state.

Are you ready to take responsibility if something happens to Andrey?

Do you know why astronauts' personal affairs are sniffed?

'Cause any little thing, an odor nuisance, can spell disaster.

Do you know why crews are formed so carefully,

considering psychological compatibility?

'Cause any conflict can spell disaster.

What do you want from me?

Look at these pictures and think!

Playtime is over!

Just tell me what happened.

Nothing happened.

So you take responsibility?

Yes.

I do take.

You're free to go.

Gennady Gennadyevich, this is your fifth flight.

Have you also dreamed about space since you were a child?

I haven't dreamed, I'm okay.

What's happened?

- Nothing. - What have they done to you?

Did you cry?

He told me that if anything happened to Andrey, it'd be my fault.

What could happen to him?

He showed me a picture of Komarov.

Gena, they sniff our staff, 'cause every little thing...

Sure, if someone cuts the cheese, the mission is over.

Yurievich told you stuff, and you believed him.

- It's all my fault. - It really is!

Gena, I'm scared!

I'm really scared!

Give me this. I'll take it to the station.

I break every f*** law.

Both as a human being and as a crew commander.

One of my men...

- Well, I can't fly with him. - Kamanin?

It's not about replacing Semenov.

He says and does everything right.

And I can't be objective about him.

I keep picking on him.

I can't help myself.

I have to go to the management and report everything.

Maybe you're right.

And here comes a dilemma.

If they replace him, I'll be a bastard. Bastard for my whole life.

But if they replace the crew...

I've been training for this flight for three years.

It's a module.

I'll really know that I did something.

I'll be remembered for something.

What other options?

Don't say anything.

Pray. Get a grip.

I cannot make this decision for you.

I see.

Pray to Holy Mother, our protectress.

- To the Warantress of the Sinful. - Sure.

Let's put all the responsibility on Our Lady.

Timur Romanovich, you're doing great!

That's it! Stop! The whole module in his blood.

And we'll do this. Is that all?

Is the patient saved?

Let's see. Go.

Come on.

- Here's your next patient. - What? No.

This tooth will be removed anyway.

- It's not a big deal. - Are you insane? He is a living person.

I can't. When I was a kid, I pulled out a snake's tooth and its jaw.

It's got a face like this. Like in the cartoon.

I see.

I'll call our psychologist.

Borya, does it hurt?

You're really okay?

Gena, let's get your tooth removed, too?

- No, thanks. - For free!

Dentists will charge a lot of money for this.

Wait, I'll get your tooth.

Bon appetit! Am I interrupting?

You want a drink?

What is it?

Okay, I'll start.

Just between us. How is Kamanin?

You know...

You can laugh at Shutov all you want, but he's no fool.

Kamanin is fine.

Then what's the problem?

I beg you, forget all these omens.

Everyone remembers Komarov.

There was an anniversary of his death 'cause that was all it was.

There were all these fools screaming, "Come back soon!"

And there was nothing, people came back all right.

They came back having completed the program.

Gennadievich, what's wrong?

Everything will be fine.

It took a long time to get here.

You will introduce yourself: a Hero of Russia has arrived.

Gennady Yashin, the 344th astronaut on Earth,

is commissioning a unique Russian module.

What did Master Yoda say?

Don't fear ordeals, Luke.

It's a good Kutovykh isn't around.

Why? He start talking about "I'm your father!" thing?

He is 35 years old!

But what special training!

Timur is a great guy!

By the way, he once worked for six hours in an emergency.

- But he let the panel go. - But you took control of the situation.

We did.

Everything will be fine.

Do you remember...

I called Larisa on the second revolution and she was like, "Where's he?"

People soup. There were lots of them.

Everyone scared to even breathe.

- Don't be sad. - No, thanks.

Alexey Maksimovich, you promised to fix the weather.

Don't worry!

The bureaucracy in heaven is worse than here.

What?

The launch.

I know I'm a difficult man, but I will obey your orders.

That's okay, you'll find a friend there.

- Megan Wright, she's just like you. - I heard she's very good at her job.

'Cause she's doing woman's work! They like to sew, embroider.

It's ours.

Father John!

I lit a candle.

To put the launch off.

Did any of the astronauts come to confession?

We share the same legal framework.

- It's a confessional seal... - We work for the space, not the cafe.

- Spencer has a toothache. - When?

Three days ago, everyone panicked. And I have an astronaut flying.

He has a Bickford fuze in his head.

I know, you won't tell me the details.

So let me ask you questions and you answer yes or no.

Stop it.

Please, just give me a hint.

The situation is bad or extremely bad?

The situation is bad, but I won't tell you anything else.

Great!

What a priest, what a doctor, all have a sacred secret.

And there's a living person.

He is flying to a multi-million dollar station

with an expensive equipment and live people.

Here's the thing.

This person feels a strong feeling of guilt towards his comrade.

And in the launch problems, he sees a personal warning from the Lord.

- What about family? - He's always had a model family.

Sin of gluttony and profanity?

Blessed be God for ever and ever. Amen.

Holy God, Holy Strong, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.

Holy God, Holy Strong, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.

Holy God, Holy Strong, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,

both now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

This spaceship is being blessed and consecrated.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and Sacred Spirit.

Amen.

God willing.

God willing.

A woman is lying with her lover.

It's a joke. The husband comes home.

The woman begged,

"Please, Lord, don't let my husband to find out everything."

Lord says, "Okay.

But remember, one day you'll die in water."

Two years later she gets on the ferry, it starts to sink.

She begs again, "God, I deserved it, but not these beautiful young women!"

And God replies, "I've been gathering you, s***, here for six months."

There are three of you.

If you're going to torture yourself

and think that you caused the problems with the launch,

think that you didn't defend Semenov,

that you didn't like Kamanin, believe me.

All three of you deserve each other.

You are so empathetic!

This is my job, I get paid for it.

Lets do it!

God bless you!

Stop! No touching!

Don't touch them! We're leaving!

We're leaving! No touching!

Don't touch!

Stay here! Don't get too close!

Stay here!

Let's go!

Dear Timur, have a safe flight!

Don't worry about our hamster. I'll feed him, train him.

We'll show you circus acts later.

Andrey, you're one of the smartest

and strongest people I've ever seen in my life.

And I know how important everything that's going on now.

For you and for us.

Danya and I believe in you. We're waiting for you.

Don't wet the spacesuit!

Thanks!

They're in the ship.

- Will it be loud? - Very much. Get ready.

Thanks, I'm fine.

You're fine now, but ten minutes later, you'll feel cold.

Dress warmer next time.

I'll put music for you.

Ten minutes to launch.

Key to ignition.

Yes, sir!

Stretch-1.

Key to venting. Purge.

Purge. Key to venting.

Ground-to-board.

Engine ignition.

Five. Four.

Three. Two.

One. Go!

- Twenty seconds, normal flight. - Very well!

The board is fine.

Minor vibrations.

We see you.

- 300 seconds, normal flight. - Very well!

The board is fine.

We feel good.

There are no complaints about the operation of the ship's system.

520 seconds, normal flight.

All right, we're in orbit.

There's a noise.

I took them myself.

'Cause they could hide them, and then forget.

I snuck them in my pocket.

And Gennadyevich once snuck a cucumber.

- What did you take this time? - That's enough.
