A SHARD OF THE UNIVERSE

EPISODE 8

Put it in there.

Fill it.

ONE YEAR LATER

See?

And knead it like this.

Softly and gently, like tits.

(speaks German)

Now your turn.

Now shake it up a bit, don't forget.

- And just like tits. - Like tits, yeah!

(speaks German)

That's it. Kaput! You'd push off over there,

ricochet over there, and smash your head there.

You'd also have a soup thrown after you.

Guys, there's the commander!

Guten Tag!

Hey!

Hey, space panties! See?

That's how the commander moves, not like you, meerkats!

It'd be easier for me to go into space myself.

What?

There's a psychologist waiting for you in the office.

- Who? - Kamanin's son.

He came with a tour, but he left and started looking for you.

Okay, I'll go meet him.

The diameter of what Shutov had twice as big as yours?

Hair. Hi.

What do you want?

- I want to talk. Can I have a minute? - Okay.

I'll make sure he goes out the main exit and doesn't steal anything of value.

I promise!

- Well? - How do you feel about my mom?

Since when you're brave enough for these questions?

This is just a question.

I feel good about her.

Did you like sleeping with her or was it serious?

What do you want?

I want you to die.

But I want her to live a good life more,

than crawling from one depression episode to another.

Her head is all gray at her early forties.

That's it, Gennadiy Gennadievich.

Let's skip the fact that a true man had to took it upon himself.

Literally take her by the hand and tell everyone,

"Yes, she's my woman. If you don't like her, go to hell!"

So?

So why didn't you ask her for forgiveness?

Why haven't you done it yet?

Aren't you lonely?

Judging by smell of sweat, your wife did leave you.

So you came to offer your mother?

That's what it's called.

Did you even ask her, boy?

Sorry, I forgot that you can't hear well.

Again, she doesn't want to live.

What are you doing here?

Dad had some papers here, he asked me to pick them up.

I see. How is he?

Great. How is the weather there?

Great weather. What were you doing?

Hydrolaboratory. I work here now.

Didn't you say you were far from space field?

Well... I live in Zvezdny with my dad.

That's insane!

I saw on social media that you went to medical school.

Good for you! Enjoying this, aren't you?

Why? I have six guys in my group.

Yes, I saw the picture.

I've been watching you online, too. Listened to your music.

Do you want to go get some food?

Sure.

I don't smoke anymore. I became so boring.

It's a good prevention for lung cancer.

Did you know that Timur Kutovykh's father died?

And Anna Pavlovna gave way completely.

Did you really come for the papers?

What else could I do?

So where are they?

Are you afraid I'll turn your father in with the story about the dead pilot?

You'd do that in a long time ago if you wanted to, wouldn't you?

That's why it didn't work out for us, right?

Because someone knew too much?

Would you like to go out?

Okay, bye.

Maybe.

One day.

Hello?

Hello, Nadya.

It's me.

- Fishing, then? - What are you talking about!

Bullfighting, Moby Dick. It was extremely big!

Catfish can weigh up to 300 kilograms, right?

Don't know really. I start hunting again when everything melts.

This bastard is very sneaky!

You do like to spend time with vodka

and sandwich, watching the sunset, don't you?

Yeah, sandwich and sunset...

By the way, there was a picture at the entrance, where did it go?

Do you remember when I came with that girl? Nadya.

By the way, she'll be here soon.

She came several times.

Always alone.

Last time she picked up a picture.

I see.

Beautiful woman.

I haven't seen her in ages.

Hello.

Bring us a vorschmack.

- Can I keep my coat on? - Sure.

Gleb, have a drink with us.

Onions and nuts? Robin Hood?

Don't you remember this riddle?

It's with onions and nuts, but not pie.

Robin Hood.

It's the answer.

Shall we sing our favorite one?

The sun shone over the forest.

"I'll go to husband for a while.

I'll go to husband forever."

Cheers.

I'm sorry, guys, but I don't want to drink.

It feels like I've been in a time machine.

Excuse me.

Why do you hate me?

I just came to look at you, and realized I shouldn't do that.

You hate me for not coming to you.

- No. - I couldn't do that.

There at the station I had a choice

to say that I love you,

or not to stress the situation. I chose the second.

And he's great.

Your Kamanin did everything perfect.

And you have to take responsibility for your choices. Next.

I heard what you told him on the VHF channel.

That he's the best.

And that you always miss him.

How did you hear that?

He threw the headset and I took it.

What else did you hear?

All I needed. I knew it wasn't a lie.

Even to save someone's life, even under Shutov's patronage.

That's not what you lie about, Nadya.

And I realized that you actually love him.

What else did you hear?

What else did you hear, Gena?

'Cause it turns out he didn't even hear half of what I wanted to tell him.

I took the headset on,

"You were always the best.

Please. Come home safe."

18-20 seconds.

I'm really sorry.

It's a great choice. Amazing package!

You can also buy an immobilizer from us.

No, thanks.

- Why? - 'Cause I don't need it.

This is a good answer, but the fact is the standard immobilizer is pretty weak,

even for the inexperienced thief.

I know what you want to tell me.

You don't trust auto dealers

'cause you think they're in cahoots with car thieves.

You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket!

I can assume that your fridge is in perfect order.

And not just because your spouse is a great cook.

Just admit, sometimes you find a place for high quality beer, right?

You're a psychologist, aren't you?

Yep.

Different people come here. Each of them have their own views and stereotypes.

- And everyone needs help? - Absolutely.

Excuse me.

Hello?

One second, please.

Who is it?

Nadezhda Kamanina.

I didn't recognize you. Didn't keep your number.

I'm all ears.

Alexey Yurievich, I need some advice.

You can book a private consultation.

I work for Novatex, but you don't have to come to the office...

Alexey Yurievich, I'm sorry.

You want an on-call consulting?

Then it'll cost you 800 rubles.

Do you have that kind of money?

Transfer it to my account after we talk. How can I help you?

To begin with, I'd like to say that I'm very sorry.

You've lost four seconds. Learn to value your time and mine.

Seven seconds, Nadya.

Today I found out that Andrey Kamanin

didn't hear everything I told him on the VHF channel,

which were some really important things.

Important to whom?

To me. I said some things out loud and realized that they were true.

It'd be important if Kamanin hear them, too.

Important to whom?

- To us. - So you want to be with your husband?

And you're consulting on whether heart-to-heart talk will help you?

I know that we can hardly be together.

That's right. I also think heart-to-heart talks are bullshit.

A man is defined by his actions.

Wife cheating is an act for which in decent society you get stoned.

And in a humane society, they put you out just in your underpants.

Among the sophisticated intellectuals to whom Kamanin belongs,

they also want to kick you out, nevertheless they say they understand you.

And even give you some money.

So, Nadezhda... Bingo! It's okay.

I see.

Now for the betrayal.

Betrayal is possible when there's a system of human relationships.

But we're...

Well.

There is a well-known psychological technique that really works.

When a psychologist needs to get fast results,

they give the client the illusion of being chosen.

Play favorites.

The purpose is to remove blocks and motivate the client to do something.

And my purpose was to return Soyuz TMA

to Earth with a live crew on board.

So if you hear that

it's incompetent for a psychologist to share the circumstances of their life,

but they do it anyway, know that they're working with you.

Take care.

Regarding our earlier conversation about beer...

I don't drink. 'Cause I'm a former alcoholic.

I don't have a wife and a fridge, 'cause I don't eat at home.

And you do.

You are force-fed by your mom.

You're so scared of her that you dream of moving out

and even push your pimples in the dark.

You have bulimia. You vomit like a schoolgirl in the restroom.

I can see it in your enamel and your fingers.

You're scared to get fat.

'Cause you dream of rich, beautiful girlfriend,

that will take you away to a rich life. But she won't.

'Cause you think of her as a b***.

You also think you're Nietzsche compared to all those fat slobs

you have to sell some rubber mat to

for a humiliating bonus.

And I won't buy an immobilizer.

- Hi! - Hello.

- There's food. - I'll have it.

- Why are you so gloomy? - What?

Maybe you've seen someone?

Who?

Danya Kamanin.

I don't understand, what does that make you?

When you flew away, he and I were close friends.

Close?

- How close? - It doesn't matter.

I told him the story about the guy who flew instead of you and died.

- Go on. - What?

That's not why he came. Go on.

I was sure he wouldn't tell anyone.

Do you remember how you forbid me to watch that cartoon about the turtles?

Kris, do you think I'm scum too?

No one could've predicted that this guy would die.

It's our job.

If I had gotten on that plane, I'd have stayed alive.

Or I'd haven't.

It's God who decides, not me, you know?

If an old lady had skipped ahead in a crosswalk

and got hit by a car, would you blame yourself?

Even though she wasn't looking around, would it still be your fault?

How did the farewell ceremony go?

I think it took Kamanin about 20 minutes to get his stuff together.

You, assuming you had said all you could, stood there as a silent, mournful shadow.

You may have even said, "Andrey, forgive me."

He replied, "I heard you and I get it, let's not go back to this conversation."

You never called him again.

And sometimes at dinner

your son mentions his dad, who calls him of course.

And that's how you know that Andrey is cool and successful.

- Your 800 rubles. - Did I describe it correctly?

The devil is in the details.

Person after the flight can't pack a bag in 20 minutes.

Muscles don't work in no gravity.

But you and I know nothing about it.

I did stand as a silent, mournful shadow.

Until I turned around and saw him

throwing his jacket on the couch and it falling to the floor.

And his eyes had changed.

They do change there. These are not fairy tales.

There's something going on with them, and there's something going on here, too.

But we can only guess about it.

So our psychological session is pointless.

Can I go back to prose?

You really never called him again?

Yes.

That's good.

If you really want to change something,

go to him.

Right now.

And say whatever you want to his eyes.

This thing can conjure up calls to the ISS.

You don't need this with your emotional memory.

Thank you.

3,500 rubles.

3,500 for a house call.

Are you serious?

You think I'm kidding?

Take care!

Hi!

Hi!

Tell me.

What?

How was your day?

Did you win?

Larisa, I asked you, how was your day?

I have my own life.

You'll always be Matvey's father, and you can always visit him.

Is it hard for you to answer the question?

We went to the mall.

We bought Matvey a nice denim jacket in Outlet.

They gave us an acrylic hat as a gift.

- Hi, son! - Hi, daddy!

- I know a new word. - Which word?

Daddy is an asshole!

What do they teach you!

Luca sends his regards.

Say hi, too.

How is he?

He went to watch the bar.

I see.

Are you happy?

Yeah.

I feel like I've lived a s*** life.

You've lived a proper, real life, Gena.

Such proper life that my wife left me for an old Italian.

First of all, she left, and then she found an Italian.

He's only two years older than you, Gena.

- He never said anything bad about you. - I'm glad for him!

And why did you say I've lived my life? Actually, I'm still living.

And I plan to go into space again.

I've always had a life's work. At least that's why my life is proper.

Even if I don't remember those cartoons about turtles.

What are you doing here?

You sneezed?

No I didn't. I am absolutely healthy.

- Unauthorized persons can't come in. - I know.

- What do you know? - I know that...

The day after tomorrow, my husband leaves for 286 days.

So what?

Alexey Shutov said I need to talk to him personally.

Is he in charge of everything now?

- Please. - Go away.

Please!

- Nadezhda... - Vladimirovna.

Nadezhda Vladimirovna, how do you imagine it?

You're entering the quarantine zone with my permission.

Andrey Kamanin interrupts his minute-by-minute program

and comes out to talk to you.

- You start drooling, sniveling... - You're protecting him from me.

It's yours. He is the space guard.

And I'm someone who is not worthy of being an astronaut's wife.

You're right. He's ours. He is the crew commander.

But I can't let you talk. There's no technical feasibility for that.

Launch is in 48 hours.

Tomorrow at 10.00 a.m.,

an official photoshoot on the alley with wives.

And I'm still his wife.

Hello!

You have a visitor.

Greetings to Kutovykh Jr. Am I late?

- It's fine. - Let's go!

Hands are perfect for EVA.

- Learn his songs! - I'm learning.

What about the new Soyuz?

If they say it'll be ready by March, it means it'll be ready by October.

Will you go?

I hope your drawings are still there.

Your snot is probably still flying there too.

There was such a panic.

- Sinusitis, maxillary sinusitis... - Thanks God it ended without consequences.

His apnea bothers me every night, though.

His what?

- Apnea is when you snore like this... - As if he dying.

Let's drink to a place without apnea.

- Men don't snore in microgravity. - Such a relief!

When I go to space, I'll take my plugs for nose.

That dog soup stinks terribly.

Have you ever smelled it? The Vietnamese cook it.

No.

Olya, it's time to put the baby to bed.

I know that I won't fly now.

The Japanese only know how to print a spleen on a printer.

It will be at least a year before they start printing eardrums.

However, I wanted to say this.

I'll also have my tenth,

anniversary flight.

I'd like to have a clean background.

There's a story.

It makes me suffer.

For 20 years.

I was supposed to go out for flight training

on May 16, 1996.

But I didn't go.

I lied to everyone.

Lesha Sviridov flew instead of me.

When he crashed,

I was lying on the grass with my wife.

That's it.

I wasn't supposed to fly with Kamanin too.

I had no right to fly, not him.

I had to go. Don't walk me to the door.

What anniversary flight?

Doesn't he realize he'll never fly again?

Don't talk.

Timur, am I wrong?

They won't let him go with no eardrums.

Don't talk, please.

Don't come closer than 5 meters.

Spouses, here. Don't come closer than a meter,

and don't touch your husbands with your hands.

Step aside! Careful.

Hi.

Hi.

I shouldn't have come?

You're a free man. Turn around, please, they're taking pictures.

Thanks.

Come here.

I had to come and talk to you.

Okay.

I ruined my life.

You weren't around, so I decided it was better if you weren't around at all.

But it's not that I couldn't somehow arrange my life.

Look to your right, please.

I think I can. And I have something to live for: my job, Danya.

- Do you have any projects? - Yes, I do.

Design of one old factory project.

- Do you have enough money? - What?

You have enough money?

- Yeah. - Good.

Stand in line, please.

Commander and his wife are in the center,

onboard engineers are on the left and right.

Good. Smile!

Thanks.

Are you happy?

Is this what you dreamed of?

Yes.

And did you get all your questions answered?

To many of them.

What about me?

Do you need me?

I thought we talked about it a year ago.

I heard and understood you then.

I believe. I know that you're sorry.

I know it's my fault.

But it was in our lives.

We can't take it out now.

Smile, please.

I don't know what else to say.

Finish.

Wives step back.

Crew go to the hotel.

Go, go.

- Wait, come back! - Don't touch her!

Don't touch my wife.

Lekha, screw you!

He f*** hugged her!

What do you mean, "re-disinfect him"?

I know how many bacteria are in a cubic centimeter of air.

I don't want to talk to you.

What gloomy weather!

This means that the bacterial content

in one cubic centimeter of air has decreased by about two.

At least we can see the stars.

Speaking of the space station.

Did you hear that our guys flew again today?

You're not interested anymore?

I see.
