A Girl and an Astronaut (2023) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
1
I knew him then.
Niko Borowski.
Thirty years ago.
He said I reminded him
of his little sister.
I was there, JJ.
With Grandpa in mission control when
the capsule disappeared from the radars.
At home, he made me promise
to forget it all
about the mission and the capsule.
We never talked about it ever again.
A GIRL AND AN ASTRONAU
He doesn't respond to stimuli.
But he sometimes opens his eyes.
It doesn't mean anything, Nadia.
This is from
an hour ago.
And these are from 30 years ago.
Do you see?
His body.
He's barely aged a day, Nadia.
We'll receive
a fucking Nobel Prize for that.
And what did you give him?
Nothing that could have
produced such a reaction.
He's just pretending?
For now, we're assuming this is
some kind of
defense response from the body.
- Are sure about that?
- We're verifying that.
Listen, this is the first time
I've ever seen anything like it.
We'll try to get him out of this.
I have no idea what might happen next.
You have to get him up and running again.
We'll do everything possible.
Don't fuck this up.
Homie, stop.
Stopping.
Show me all the news with the tag "Niko"
from the last six hours.
Of course, Marta.
There's 356 pieces of news,
including 67 in Polish.
- Show me the latest one.
- Showing now.
The corporation SkyCom
has classified all information
from the last 30 years
about the capsule "Niko-One"
claiming reasons
of secrecy and confidentiality.
The Polish government also declines
to comment on this matter.
- Turn it off.
- Right away.
Do you know that guy?
Who?
The astronaut.
I've seen your photos in the album.
What's going on between you and Mom, huh?
What do you mean by that?
Are you getting a divorce?
Who said anything like that?
- You.
- Yeah?
When?
Mom, you've been together how many years?
Thirty-two?
For the past ten years,
you've been treating dad like a friend.
For the past five,
the two of you have barely spoken.
All last year, you're only home
when he's gone away.
And for the last three days,
you've been so pissed off
that dad cowers at the sight of you.
What am I not getting here, Mom?
Do you still love him?
Don't jump to any conclusions.
I'm going to work.
You always know
how to give me the brush-off, huh?
I love him.
Feel better now?
You don't really know what
that mission was actually about, do you?
What do you mean by that?
That Niko wasn't honest
with you either.
Tally one.
Tally, single Flanker.
Investigate.
I see the Russky.
Scratch, Lighthouse.
Confirm visual, single Flanker.
No maneuvering.
Two is targeted. Let's get him.
Bogdan, stay back.
Sierra-Uniform Two Seven,
you are on Polish territory.
Identify yourself.
I said, identify yourself.
Fucking Ivan.
I'm joining up!
Fuck,
you're not in a position to shoot.
- Jetwash, watch out!
- I got it.
Get the fuck out.
Kid. Bogdan. You good?
I'm good! Fucking hell.
Lighthouse, Scratch.
Flanker left our airspace.
He tried to fuck me up.
If you don't have 100% visibility,
you don't shoot.
I wanted to help you.
Don't make me laugh.
You fucked up out there.
So, what? Did I fucking crash?
You want to fight over Marta
or something, huh?
Who now?
Boguś,
is it just about pussy for you?
I'll back right off.
I don't have time for that, Niko.
But thank you.
I'm going to space!
Fucking Polish Army.
What the fuck was that out there?
In the air, you're supposed to
be a threat to others, not to yourself.
It was all my fault, colonel, sir.
A miscommunication.
You were the wingman?
- Yeah.
- Speak up.
Yeah.
I've listened to the radio recording.
The leader attempted to take over,
you were supposed to stay back.
- I wanted to help
- I'm not done.
Why'd you push it?
I wanted to help if I was able to
We're not playing
"first come, first served."
Good job out there, Niko.
Thank you, sir. I gave it my all.
Dismissed.
Bogdan.
We could've lost
a plane and a pilot.
So, don't fucking bullshit me
about helping a friend, are we clear?
Everyone makes mistakes.
Right, Dad?
Where'd you get that?
- What's that?
- Where did you get that?
Stigmata.
- I will find
- Fuck off.
Yes, sir! Yes, colonel, sir!
Listen, we almost fucking crashed
and Crazy Ivan goes and says
his fucking transmitter's been broken.
You get that, dude? Right from the start!
- What an absolute stooge
- Nikuś!
All right,
I'll see you later, buddy.
Trying to be a hotshot?
Hey!
"I gave it my all,
yes, sir, colonel, sir."
You're a brown-nosing master.
- I took the blame, didn't I?
- Why though?
Boguś, if you've got
a problem with your dad,
you two have to talk it out, yeah?
Right, gentlemen?
Sort it out with your dad,
instead of busting my fucking balls.
For fuck's sake, guys, stop.
Mmm.
SKYCOM
PILOT MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION
Fuck.
Good day, Nadia.
PROJECT NIKO-1
Did you find it?
I don't know yet.
We're going to SkyCom.
Some privacy, please.
Are you going to check
on your sleeping prince?
Later.
You need to leave.
HELLO, MY SWEETHEART!
What do you even eat there, son?
I eat cuisine from all over.
Chinese noodles. Kebabs from Turkey.
Pierogies from Russia.
I ran into Karolina Borowska.
She's back from London.
She married yet?
Don't know.
You two would be good together.
That would
almost be incestuous.
I don't want you to go through life
all alone.
You should have someone.
I could.
But it's not a must.
How'd you get hurt?
I hit myself.
- On what?
- Nothing.
What about you?
Mmm. I don't remember.
Did he do this to you?
You know
that you can always call me?
I don't care what time it is.
I'll get you some pie.
Have you ever done something that
you then later ended up really regretting?
Millions of times.
Be serious with me a second.
Mmm
I told someone
close to me that I didn't love him.
Even though it wasn't true.
Who was it?
My dad.
Yesterday, with my, um
Things didn't go the way I wanted
with my friends either.
Something happen?
Mmm, nothing important, really.
Okay.
- I can tell.
- I don't want to talk about it anymore.
I did something stupid yesterday too.
You slept with Niko?
- You bitch.
- Mmm.
Niko and I jumped off a bridge.
In the river.
And this is the fucking moment
when even I'm speechless.
- And we were with Bogdan.
- No, no. No.
This is the point.
Marta, I'm begging you.
Anyone but a pilot.
He'll promise you the world
and you'll end up with fuck-all.
Okay, but I'm not looking for a boyfriend!
Something tells me
not to believe a word you say.
- Why off a bridge though?
- And why not, huh?
- Where you going?
- Got an errand to run.
Does keeping secrets
turn you on or something?
I was just thinking about you!
- And suddenly you're right there.
- I'm waiting for a taxi.
- And I've got a second helmet for girls.
- Is it getting any use?
You'd be surprised.
What happened to you?
I fought for you.
Yeah? Bad idea.
- You should see the face on the other guy.
- Uh I don't think so.
- Dinner tonight?
- I don't eat after 6:00.
- Girl, we jumped into a river.
- And I'm already starting to regret it.
- Go out with me.
- Are you always this persistent?
If I really care about something.
So, we do have something in common.
Can I help you, miss?
Sure, um, Olgierd Rybicki.
Mmm, my father.
He's in jail again.
We take care of the property,
so it doesn't go wild,
but who knows if he's ever coming back.
Thank you.
I know how to wake up Niko.
He had a fiancée?
Thirty years ago.
Do you think she was waiting for him?
I don't care about that.
But I'm sure
our astronaut will recognize her.
It's been 30 years.
Not for Niko. You understand?
To him, she's like a bridge
between two worlds.
You think she's still alive?
She'll in her fifties.
I have a friend in Special Forces.
He owes me.
That's it for today.
There's still ninety seconds left.
We want to dance.
- We've already paid for it.
- Ninety seconds more, please.
Marta!
You wanna dance? Go ahead and dance then!
- Hi.
- Hello, Marta.
Eight!
- Get it! Whoo!
- Get it!
- Nine!
- Nine!
No freaking way!
- Whoo!
- Yeah!
- Ten! Excellent!
- Are you serious?
- Oh, he's out. He's done. He's done.
- He's done.
Oh!
Hold it! Hold it!
Hold it! Hold it!
Hold it! Hold it!
There you are, finally!
- I've got a riddle.
- Mmm?
What's the difference
between a pig and a pilot?
Tell.
A pig doesn't become a pilot
after four beers.
Hey, come to the bathroom with me.
- Bye!
- Bye!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
I thought you'd never come.
Are you fucking nuts?
Come outside for a sec.
Come on.
The view from here is much better.
You know what's up there?
Everything.
Yesterday, today, tomorrow.
Eternity.
The beginning and the end.
It goes on forever.
Hey!
Guys! We're moving the party.
Are you coming with?
- Give us a sec, yeah?
- Okay!
Company! To the cars!
Whoo! Let's go!
Whoo!
Come on!
- Are you surprised?
- Meh.
- "Meh"?
- It ain't all that much.
You think they've got
a cotton candy machine?
Oh, I love cotton candy!
You'll only fuck up her life.
"You'll only fuck up her life," huh?
You asked me to tell you when you're
about to have a head-on collision.
That's what I'm doing.
Well, thanks.
How long will you two last? A week, two?
Dude, seriously?
Niko,
just don't hurt her.
No prob.
- I mean it.
- You know, Boguś?
- I'm not fucking backing off now.
- Hey! What is this? Hey!
Excuse me, gentlemen,
I'll handle this.
- What the fuck are you doing?
- My good man,
- we just came to buy some tickets, yeah?
- What is the meaning of this? What?
- A hundred.
- No.
No? Two.
- Relax. And drink to our health.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Right.
- Three.
- All right. Okay, okay. All right.
- Beautiful.
- Be careful with the power!
- Okay! No worries.
Right. Right.
What's wrong?
Gentlemen!
Dęblin!
Let's go!
- Karola, you're coming with us.
- No.
- No, no! No thanks.
- You're coming. Come on!
- Come on!
- Have fun. I'm afraid of heights.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay.
All right, come on, let's move on.
Whoo-hoo!
He couldn't manage either.
Come on.
He He figured out that when you can
Wow!
This is fucking epic!
- Hold on! Oh! Oh!
- So cool!
- Come here! Come on! Hey, let's race!
- Okay. Whoo!
- In the starting blocks? Yeah?
- In the starting blocks.
And the flag is up! Go!
Ladies and gentlemen, lap one! Whoo!
Lap two! Lap three and finish
- Finish Finish
- And I won!
- Hey But
- I won! I won! I won!
- No!
- Victory for Marta Rybicka with
her, um, beige racehorse!
Her beige horse.
The Poles want us
to hand over Borowski to them.
Immediately!
It's out of the question.
This is the official position
of the Polish Government.
I won't let him out of here in this state.
- He's their citizen, Nadia.
- Borowski is ours.
He signed a contract 30 years ago.
All right, we need to buy some time
to get him back on his feet.
Give the Poles
something in exchange, then.
More space on satellites.
Give them as much as they want.
What? You're negotiating?
What for?
Sergey,
you better keep your mouth shut.
- What did you say?
- All right, relax.
You screwed up the Niko-One mission
and you know it.
I created this project,
you little shit. From nothing!
You fucking smashed it, huh?
Now it's broke.
Enough!
If you had waited back then,
if you had done a bunch more tests
Have you calmed down now?
Call Sorokin.
Hello, Pudovkin.
Hello, Boris.
Long time, no see.
According to
our unofficial information,
the Polish astronaut that went missing
30 years ago, Nikodem Borowski,
had undergone an experimental
sub-hibernation procedure,
which would allow the SkyCom corporation
to extend the human lifespan
by an average of 20 years.
- Homie
- Yes?
Play it again.
Time for your meds.
Playing.

Liars.
We gave them the best man we had
and they just went and fucked it all up.
Ever wondered
what condition he was in
when they opened the capsule?
- Please stop.
- What?
- Please stop.
- What?
He must've been dried up
like a mummy, huh?
Karolina!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'll stop.
Come back.
Karolina,
come back.
Come back
Come back, I'm so sorry.
Karo?
Karolina, I'm coming in!
God! What's happened?
I fucking love him!
I love him, Marta!
- I can't live without him.
- Karo, who are you talking about?
And now he's telling me that
I've got the completely wrong idea here.
Karolina, who did this to you?
Just leave me here.
Get out.
He's alive.
And he has excellent test results.
We want more information, Sergey.
Full access to data.
The board won't agree to this.
It's a private project.
We didn't take a penny
from the government.
And so what?
You have any idea how much it is
you owe me.
Anyway
I can still do
a little something to help you.
"Board membership."
Seriously?
You deserve more, Sergey.
Much more, my boy.
I was seven years old.
I used to spend days at the base.
My grandpa was a scientist.
He'd examine the pilots.
- But he did something else as well.
- What?
He experimented on lab rats.
He sub-hibernated them.
The effects weren't always successful,
but finally it started to work.
Their stem cells.
He noticed they changed,
adapting and gaining amazing features.
They were like a medicinal cure.
He wanted to use
Niko's cells to cure me too.
Do you know how to do it?
I only have a part of the notes.
Where's the rest?
We need to find them.
According to our unofficial information,
the Polish astronaut that went missing
30 years ago, Nikodem Borowski,
had undergone
- Mute.
- Muted.
I talked to Karolina.
She wants to bury Niko,
but the Russians still are refusing
to release the body.
Don't let him come
between us again, Marta.
Marta, I have a news piece
with the tag "Niko."
- Show it.
- Displaying.
According to our unofficial information,
the Polish astronaut that went missing
30 years ago, Nikodem

- Turning off.
I wanna see it.
- Show it.

sub-hibernation treatment, which would

Which would allow what?
Tell me what happened there.

If you don't have 100% visibility,
you don't shoot.
I wanted to help you.
Don't make me laugh.
You fucked up out there.
So, what? Did I fucking crash?
You want to fight over Marta
or something, huh?
Who now?
Boguś,
is it just about pussy for you?
I'll back right off.
I don't have time for that, Niko.
But thank you.

Fuck.
Good day, Nadia.
PROJECT NIKO-1
Did you find it?
I don't know yet.
We're going to SkyCom.
Some privacy, please.
Are you going to check
on your sleeping prince?
Later.
You need to leave.
HELLO, MY SWEETHEART!
What do you even eat there, son?
I eat cuisine from all over.

She's back from London.

Even though it wasn't true.
Who was it?
My dad.
Yesterday, with my, um
Things didn't go the way I wanted
with my friends either.
Something happen?
Mmm, nothing important, really.
Okay.
- I can tell.
- I don't want to talk about it anymore.
I did something stupid yesterday too.
You slept with Niko?
- You bitch.
- Mmm.
Niko and I jumped off a bridge.
In the river.
And this is the fucking moment
when even I'm speechless.
- And we were with Bogdan.
- No, no. No.
This is the point.
Marta, I'm begging you.
Anyone but a pilot.
He'll promise you the world
and you'll end up with fuck-all.
Okay, but I'm not looking for a boyfriend!

You'd be surprised.
What happened to you?
I fought for you.
Yeah? Bad idea.
- You should see the face on the other guy.
- Uh I don't think so.
- Dinner tonight?
- I don't eat after 6:00.
- Girl, we jumped into a river.
- And I'm already starting to regret it.
- Go out with me.
- Are you always this persistent?
If I really care about something.
So, we do have something in common.
Can I help you, miss?
Sure, um, Olgierd Rybicki.
Mmm, my father.
He's in jail again.
We take care of the property,
so it doesn't go wild,
but who knows if he's ever coming back.
Thank you.
I know how to wake up Niko.
He had a fiancée?
Thirty years ago.
Do you think she was waiting for him?
I don't care about that.
But I'm sure
our astronaut will recognize her.
It's been 30 years.
Not for Niko. You understand?
To him, she's like a bridge
between two worlds.
You think she's still alive?
She'll in her fifties.
I have a friend in Special Forces.
He owes me.
That's it for today.
There's still ninety seconds left.
We want to dance.
- We've already paid for it.
- Ninety seconds more, please.
Marta!
You wanna dance? Go ahead and dance then!
- Hi.
- Hello, Marta.
Eight!
- Get it! Whoo!
- Get it!
- Nine!
- Nine!
No freaking way!
- Whoo!
- Yeah!
- Ten! Excellent!
- Are you serious?
- Oh, he's out. He's done. He's done.
- He's done.
Oh!
Hold it! Hold it!
Hold it! Hold it!
Hold it! Hold it!
There you are, finally!
- I've got a riddle.
- Mmm?
What's the difference
between a pig and a pilot?
Tell.
A pig doesn't become a pilot
after four beers.
Hey, come to the bathroom with me.
- Bye!
- Bye!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
I thought you'd never come.
Are you fucking nuts?
Come outside for a sec.
Come on.
The view from here is much better.
You know what's up there?
Everything.
Yesterday, today, tomorrow.
Eternity.
The beginning and the end.
It goes on forever.
Hey!
Guys! We're moving the party.
Are you coming with?
- Give us a sec, yeah?
- Okay!
Company! To the cars!
Whoo! Let's go!
Whoo!
Come on!
- Are you surprised?
- Meh.
- "Meh"?
- It ain't all that much.
You think they've got
a cotton candy machine?
Oh, I love cotton candy!
You'll only fuck up her life.
"You'll only fuck up her life," huh?
You asked me to tell you when you're
about to have a head-on collision.
That's what I'm doing.

The Poles want us
to hand over Borowski to them.
Immediately!
It's out of the question.
This is the official position
of the Polish Government.
I won't let him out of here in this state.
- He's their citizen, Nadia.
- Borowski is ours.
He signed a contract 30 years ago.
All right, we need to buy some time
to get him back on his feet.
Give the Poles
something in exchange, then.
More space on satellites.
Give them as much as they want.
What? You're negotiating?
What for?
Sergey,
you better keep your mouth shut.
- What did you say?
- All right, relax.
You screwed up the Niko-One mission
and you know it.
I created this project,
you little shit. From nothing!
You fucking smashed it, huh?
Now it's broke.
Enough!
If you had waited back then,
if you had done a bunch more tests
Have you calmed down now?
Call Sorokin.
Hello, Pudovkin.
Hello, Boris.
Long time, no see.
According to
our unofficial information,
the Polish astronaut that went missing
30 years ago, Nikodem Borowski,
had undergone an experimental
sub-hibernation procedure,
which would allow the SkyCom corporation
to extend the human lifespan
by an average of 20 years.
- Homie
- Yes?
Play it again.
Time for your meds.

Liars.
We gave them the best man we had
and they just went and fucked it all up.
Ever wondered
what condition he was in
when they opened the capsule?
- Please stop.
- What?
- Please stop.
- What?
He must've been dried up
like a mummy, huh?
Karolina!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'll stop.
Come back.
Karolina,
come back.
Come back
Come back, I'm so sorry.
Karo?
Karolina, I'm coming in!
God! What's happened?
I fucking love him!
I love him, Marta!
- I can't live without him.
- Karo, who are you talking about?
And now he's telling me that
I've got the completely wrong idea here.
Karolina, who did this to you?
Just leave me here.
Get out.
He's alive.
And he has excellent test results.
We want more information, Sergey.
Full access to data.
The board won't agree to this.
It's a private project.
We didn't take a penny
from the government.
And so what?
You have any idea how much it is
you owe me.
Anyway
I can still do
a little something to help you.
"Board membership."
Seriously?
You deserve more, Sergey.
Much more, my boy.
I was seven years old.
I used to spend days at the base.
My grandpa was a scientist.
He'd examine the pilots.
- But he did something else as well.
- What?
He experimented on lab rats.
He sub-hibernated them.
The effects weren't always successful,
but finally it started to work.
Their stem cells.
He noticed they changed,
adapting and gaining amazing features.
They were like a medicinal cure.
He wanted to use
Niko's cells to cure me too.
Do you know how to do it?
I only have a part of the notes.
Where's the rest?
We need to find them.

I talked to Karolina.
She wants to bury Niko,
but the Russians still are refusing
