[tires screeching]
[pensive music playing]
[breathing heavily]
Please don't run from me.
I was in the control tower.
I saw Niko disappear from the radar.
There's no way he survived that explosion.
Sub-hibernated or not.
That's why I kept to myself.
Why's that so important?
'Cause you lied to me.
Both of you.
[tires screeching]
A GIRL AND AN ASTRONAU
- [Homie] Well, hello, Marta.
- [rain pattering]
Does it mean he's alive?
They don't bullshit.
- [thunder rumbling]
- [sighs]
[breathes shakily]
- What am I supposed to do now?
- [colonel] Karolina.
You don't want my advice.
[breathes nervously]
[colonel] Karolina [raspy breathing]
Everything's fine. I'll be up soon.
You don't have to be here.
You don't owe him a thing.
I better go up.
[Marta] Wait.
I want to know everything about Niko.
I need you to tell me when SkyCom calls.
You can do that, right?
What's it to you?
You've moved on.
[thunder rumbling]
[breathing heavily]
[both panting]
[moaning]
[both panting]
Don't call me when you feel miserable.
Um, don't call me at all.
[scoffs] You stop calling me.
Forgot about our deal?
Yeah?
When I want to meet up
I'll be in touch.
Capisce?
If you don't like it,
we can stop all this.
I'm leaving.
I love you, Wiktor.
I wanna be with you.
Not sometimes.
Always.
[scoffs, laughs]
Get some food, all right?
The tab is open.
[breathing shakily]
[exhales]
[gulps]
- [yells]
- [glass shattering]
[sobbing]
[Marta] He's amazing.
- You want me to throw up?
- [Marta] Karo-
[laughs] He listens to me.
He loves me.
Karo, he sees me for me.
You'll last two weeks max.
- Why?
- [laughs] That's just how Niko is.
I love him, but he's
not an "in for the long haul" kinda guy.
- Well, people change.
- Uh-huh. Okay.
- Your guy's a pilot too.
- [Karolina] Who?
Oh, and when you fuck, it's so pure?
Yup.
- Lights off, in the missionary position.
- [sighs]
- I saw you with Bogdan.
- So?
- He drove you home, right?
- Mm-hmm.
Did he beat you up?
Karo, I need to know.
Want me to mind my own fucking business?
Then mind your own.
[sighs]
[gentle music playing]
[people screaming]
You're an asshole, man.
Nice to see you too.
Next time, ask her if she really
wants to be choked, all right?
- What are you saying?
- Maybe I should call the police, hmm?
- What do you mean?
- Apologize to Karolina.
For what?
- You know what. You slept with her.
- Karolina?
[people screaming]
[amusement park games chiming]
Karolina's like my sister.
[sighs] It wasn't you then?
[Bogdan] Me what?
Never mind.
- Someone hurt Karolina?
- No.
No! I thought [exhales]
You're a bit jealous.
[scoffs]
Don't make me laugh.
- Coming?
- I'm not an asshole now?
We'll see.
[air gun fires]
What are your plans?
- [inhales deeply]
- In five years?
- Well, um
- [gun cocks]
I prefer to dream than to plan.
- You afraid of being hurt?
- [chuckles] No.
No.
I like surprises.
I also hate when people try to control me.
[air gun fires]
You know
Maybe I'll just
start over.
Somewhere far away.
- That so?
- [inhales] Yes.
Beginnings are the best.
[chuckles]

["Too Late for Tears"
by Andrea Litkei & Ervin Litkei playing]
[sighs] So?
Like it here?
- [exhales]
- Pickup line?
[chuckles] No.
- I only ask mermaids with turquoise eyes.
- [chuckles]
Cheesy lines aren't my thing,
you have to be honest, or
this won't work out.
I'll always be honest with you.
Because I care about you.
[chuckles] Mm-hmm.
This is when the girl would say,
"I care about you too."
I'm not like other girls.
I know.
Honey, it's too late ♪
Too late to cry ♪
[drink pouring]
[inhales deeply]
[bottle cap closing]
[bottle thuds on table]
Why did they pick a Pole to fly?
Not a Russian or German?
Or a Guadeloupean?
We're the best around.
["Too Late for Tears" continues playing]
Maybe I'm worried about you?
But it's too late
Oh, for loving me, baby ♪
There might not be another chance.
[Marta] How can you know that?
Life is full of surprises.
Too late to cry ♪
But I know you know that
I know that I know that it's ♪
I'll come back.
I promise you.

[Nadia] Stop!
Stop the machine.
[crackling stops]
- Are you serious?
- [Nadia] When did his eyes close?
This morning.
- Why did nobody report to me?
- [woman] Sh, stop.
I was busy with the simulation.
Results?
Normal. Nothing's changed.
I'll tell you.
[reporter] three decades ago
Bullshit. That tech's made up.
[scoffs] Like you'd know that.
That guy was frozen for so many years
and nothing was leaked?
[reporter] Unfortunately, in 2022
[woman] Hey, pilot, what's up?
You think he could still be alive?
[reporter] there was a system failure.
At least that was the official report.
- Today, we know that was a lie.
- [sighs]
It isn't clear who benefited
by this false information.
And we've received push back
each time we've investigated
- [man] Wonder if his wife waited for him.
- [woman] He definitely did.
[both laughing]
[tense music playing]
[clanking]
- [whirring]
- [creaking]
[inhales deeply]
- [Homie] Bogdan.
- [Bogdan groans]
I'm sensing a disrupted heartbeat.
[exhales]
[Homie] Your blood pressure
is rising dangerously.
- [exhales]
- [Homie] Calling the ambulance.
- [breathing heavily]
- [Homie] I'm here for you.
[heart beating slowly]
[woman sighs]
Well, I told you it was normal.
Was his heart rate this slow before?
Hmm, uh, higher the first day.
It might've decreased.
Beautiful increases during simulations.
And then in between, it's dropping.
Every time it's lower.
[suspenseful music playing]
Sixty-two beats per minute.
Sixty.
Now fifty-eight.
[woman] They're not big differences.
You can't see he's asleep here?
We've just started working.
Give it some time.
[heart beating]
- [whirring]
- What's that?
[woman] Monitoring drones.
They've been everywhere
since this morning, spying.
Stop the scan.
You saw it?
They used Stealth for it.
New management guidelines?
I'd know.

- [device beeps]
- What is that?
[pensive music playing]
- [blowing]
- [whirring]
[Nadia] Good.
[frequency music playing]
Hey.
I brought you lunch.
[exhales] I already ate.
I'm sorry.
What for? [chuckles]
Up on the terrace.
I was wrong.
[inhales deeply] I asked about
your private life.
It wasn't cool.
Regardless, they're not just our matters.
Hey, shouldn't you be at work right now?
- I might resign.
- [chuckles]
The system won't let you leave.
It could move you to
another dance school though.
Those are your predispositions.
[inhales deeply] It can be wrong, Oliwia.
It won't be wrong.
It knows your whole life.
I'm aware.
I preferred my old life.
When I still had some say in it.
Some say?
Why did you marry Dad?
What do you
Dad was friends with the pilot
from the capsule?
- [Marta sighs]
- You knew him too.
[exhales]
Yes.
So, did you two hook up?
Oliwia, it doesn't matter now.
Did you love him?
[nostalgic music playing]
Mom
A lot.
[scoffs]
More than Dad?
[somber music playing]
[inaudible]
Different.
[inhales] So, more.
[inhales sharply]
[man] Oliwia, could you help me with this?
[Oliwia] I gotta go.
[Marta breathes deeply]
[grunts gently]
These are my matters too, right?
Then listen.
I know that other guy is
young and beautiful,
and dad is old and fucking annoying.
You're what matters to him the most.
You're like his whole world, you know.
[somber music playing]
Remember that.
[breathes deeply]
Okay, get dressed.
Is it really that bad? [sighs]
[Dr. Krzymiński] Are you taking your meds?
Yeah.
[Dr. Krzymiński] I've known you 35 years?
Why don't you see me once a week?
I'll prescribe you something stronger.
Your EKG is round-the-clock.
[sighs]
How long?
- [exhales sharply]
- [Dr. Krzymiński] Until you recover.
Tell me,
when was the last time
you and Marta went on a vacation alone?
I don't know. Thirty years?
[Dr. Krzymiński] Did you rest?
[laughs]
Like a motherfucker.
You realize everyone in the company
is younger than you, right?
[breathes deeply]
I don't plan on retiring, okay?
[Dr. Krzymiński]
You don't get to decide that, Bogdan.
The system does, based on the data.
[Bogdan] Yeah, screw the system.
[scoffs]
I'll get you the antidepressants as well.
Take care, Bogdan.
- Turn it off.
- [screen turns off]
[grunts, exhales]
[sighs]
[jet planes soaring]
Marta?
Hi.
- ["Jak Nikt" by Ten Typ Mes playing]
- [Marta] Leave it!
Let it play.
This is such a gorgeous song.
- Did you ever want to kill yourself?
- [Bogdan] No.
How about you?
[Marta] I know a man
who's tried many times.
Actually, he's who I came back for.
- [Bogdan] Someone important?
- [Marta] Very.
I've already said too much.
I wanted to make it better.
Besides, I miss him a lot.
Now I understand.

[Bogdan] I might go to space.
Uh Where? [chuckles]
Well, space is
usually above us.
The starry one.
The government signed
an agreement with the Russians.
They chose our unit to take the tests.
[Marta] Isn't it, like, dangerous?
[chuckles softly]
Every week, rockets are fired by Musk.
[Marta] Yeah, but that doesn't mean
anything yet.
Well, chances are
I might not be going anyway.
They might not choose me.
I might refuse to go.
- [Marta] Why?
- Because.
["Jak Nikt" continues playing]
Some things are more important.

We got the test results.
[Wiktor] Oh.
Hell of a pilot.
You mean my son?
[exhales sharply]
Almost crashed into Borowski.
[clicks tongue, inhales]
Hit the enemy instead.
Real difficult.

[Niko sniffles]
Fuck with me again, I'll kill you.
Fuck off.

It's not just monitoring, JJ.
They're scanning everything
connected to Niko.
Kurov knows nothing.
I asked.
I think I know who's behind it.
Who?
Pudovkin.
But he already has access to it all.
I know.
It baffles me too.
But he was so angry
when he saw I followed him.
Anyone would be pissed.
I have something.
[somber music playing]
Address?
She got married, changed her name.
But we tracked her.

[bottles clinking]
[DJ Mihvu] Hey!
Got your Insta DM, so here I am.
- Great. When can you start?
- Right away.
This place, um,
can't pay as much as London.
If I cared about money, I wouldn't've
come back here so, um..
Then, um, welcome home, DJ Stardust.
May I?
Stage is yours.
Thanks.

Hey! I've got some news!
Congratulate me!

Congratulations, Stardust!
I mean, didn't I tell you?
Remember, I told you, you're the best!

You must bring me luck.
I must.

What's this all about?
Are you aware of the punishment for
disclosing any information about SkyCom?
Are you aware of the punishment for
detaining a man without his permission?
I want to see him!
Tomorrow.
I'm taking him.
He should be in Poland. In a hospital.
He's better here.
You can't do whatever you want.
Captain Borowski signed a contract.
That means we can do whatever
we want with him.

Regardless, that was over 30 years ago.
