A Girl and an Astronaut (2023) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Tell me about yourself.
What do ya wanna know?
Mmm I don't know.
Surprise me.
I can go full vertical in my F16.
What?
You said to surprise you.
Mmm. Guess you did.
In my garage, we had a grease pit.
My ma had me sit in there
when I caused trouble.
I'd close my eyes.
Put my hand on my heart.
To calm myself.
It beat slower,
and slower.
And the whole world stopped existing.
Just me and the cosmos.
And nothing else.
I could sit for hours in that fucking pit.
I'm starting to fall in love.

MARTA

- Hey.
- Do you know how many times I called you?
- I know. I'm sorry.
- They want to keep him here.
- I expected that.
He's in bad shape.
He's in a deep coma.
All right. Coming back?
- I don't know.
- Are you staying there?
- I won't leave him alone here.
- Marta You can't just

Out of reach.
Bye.
I'm going to work.
- Detecting heartbeat abnormality.
- What is it? Dad?
- Blood pressure rising.
- Call an ambulance!
Calling now.
Hey.

I had a dream about you.
What?
And I need to return the favor.
Um
Please listen. Once?
NEW TRACK
BOGDAN
LET'S MEE
- Who's that?
- No one.
BOGDAN
I CARE ABOUT YOU
BOGDAN
WE NEED TO TALK, URGENTLY
Going somewhere?
Don't interrogate me.
- Come here.
- I don't like that.
My bad.
Bogdan wants to meet up.
That's all.
And what? Did his leg blow off?
Why are you rushing?
That's not something I need to explain.
Yeah, but we're having
a great time together, right?
Niko, I've been here since yesterday.
I'll call you.
I'm having
a goodbye party. Tonight.
The last one before Russia.
Coming?
Stardust?
Bet I will.
Thanks for coming out.
I wanted to talk.
I was with Niko last night.
That's not all, Bogdan.
I'm dating him.
- It's a mistake.
- Okay.
Even so, it's still up to me.
Not you.
You heard me, Marta.
I'll stay.
I'll stay here.
If you want.
You deserve someone special.
Well
then it will work out perfectly.
I don't have anything else to say to you.
You have no idea.
A shadow.
Of my father, then my friend.
Niko will always be a step ahead of me
no matter fucking what.
- I don't get it.
- He's like a brother to me,
and that's what's fucked up about it.
I'm sorry.
- For how long?
- I don't know.
When he gets back, believe me,
he'll have forgotten all about you.
Please look at me, Marta.
I care about you, Marta.
I promise.
Always.
Sorry, Bogdan.
Remember to disinfect
before entering green zones
throughout the hospital.
Luckily, it wasn't a heart attack,
but your heart is barely holding on.
Yeah?
"Yeah" what?
You're hypoxic. Atherosclerosis.
Clogged coronary arteries.
You're a very sick man.
See, if you hadn't been grossly deceiving
the system metrics for years,
this would've been all handled before.
OLIVIA HOME
CALLING
Answer.
What about that was funny, huh?
I just wanted an ambulance ride.
You're deleting data
from the system. Really?
Are you trying to leave me alone?
I'm fine.
Really.
I talked to your mother.
We were disconnected, or she hung up.
Can you stop only thinking about her?
Hey. Maybe give your father
some rest, yeah?
- Don't tell her I'm in the hospital.
- Why?
Just don't.
Are you kidding me?
Mom's gonna find out from Homie anyway.
I'm starting to get fucking pissed off
by this midlife crisis of yours.
Spitfire.
Love ya.
Love you too.
MOTION DETECTED
Is anyone there?
Hello?
Can you hear me?
Hello?
Turn it off.
Right away.
Incoming call.
Nadia, you have to see this.
Who's that?
FSB.
Who let them in?
Get them out.
He's not doing anything to Borowski.
Just watching.
"Just watching."
Nadia Davidova. Head of R&D.
I I don't think we have had the pleasure.
I know you.
That's very flattering.
You know, this is private property.
You're not authorized to be here.
Your grandfather was
quite gifted and, um effective.
Although an unappreciated talent.
How could you let them in, Sergey?
Federal agents.
I don't answer to that tone.
We'll be in touch.
It was nice to meet you.
Are you making yourself the boss?
They can help us.
How so?
They've promised me big contracts, Nadia.
Exclusive.
Enormous money.
Prestige.
You'll be in charge of projects
you've never even dreamt of.
You're so naive.
They'll claim him for their own.
I'm not bothered with that.
No one is going to take him.
It's too late.
I'm going to Kurov.
I don't want a stranger
to wander my sector.
Kurov will be a vice president.
I thought he was going to oppose,
but it seemed I persuaded him.
You mean you bought him.
Bravo.
Keep your friends close,
and your enemies closer, Nadia.
Bring the Pole. Time is running out.
Do you always
make such an impression on men?
How is he doing?
Not sure. He's not really talkative.
He needs a hospital, now.
You need to help him.
Don't you understand that?
This is his home.
Let me go in there.
To play him something.
Open the capsule.
Play the first clip.
It's been a hundred years!
I don't know what you smell like,
but it fucking turns me on.
You're drunk.
Yeah, you're not?
No, I'm sober tonight.
But, Stardust, have fun.
Life is beautiful and you're beautiful.
This music's so lame.
Okay, DJ, be my guest.
Hey, do you have a container?
- How do you pee?
- Nah, don't fuck with me, man!
Hey, who did Boguś dress up as?
As Bogdan, right?
- Obviously!
- Obviously! I haven't seen him.
My darling. Mwah!
I'll be back, yeah?
Hey, babe! Wait up! Don't be mad!
- Honey, come on
- Go back to your girlfriend.
- But you're my girlfriend.
- Get off me.
I'm not anybody's girlfriend.
Let's keep it that way.
Why Why are you pissed?
I don't even care about Blanka.
Oh please. Don't embarrass yourself.
Bye.
Marta.
Marta, get out of the car.
Where are we your
Relax, Mom.
old mother
Relax.
Is she asleep?
What do you care?
I ask, you answer.
Fuck off, okay?
You don't give a shit. You never did.
- Mind your own business.
- Or what?
Or what.
You're gonna hit me?
Like all of your women?
So
Hit me.
Vodka shots.
Two.
You're not at Niko's?
Party of the season?
The music's not my type.
Niko likes his music simple.
When something gets
a little too complicated,
he skips right onto the next one.
What kind of music do you like?
Why aren't you asleep?
I had too many thoughts.
Can I borrow your glasses?
Want me to rub your feet too?
If you want.
Fuck off.
You're cleaning all this on your own.
What did you say to Marta about me?
Just that you're not really
a long term kinda guy.
I'm wrong 'bout that?
Well, fuck
You want to be her man?
But you said
you don't believe in relationships.
You know the reason for that.
Not every girl is like our mother.
Not every guy is like your father.
What father?
It was the immaculate conception,
don't you remember?
She didn't even get his name.
And if you only knew
just what Marta says about you.
- What'd she say?
- Lips are sealed.
What is that?
What happened?
Hey.
He's for real.
- Niko, I want to explain
- I know it all.
I'm sorry.
I was just I was drunk and
and nothing happened.
I want to be with you.
Hear me?
Yeah, today, but maybe not tomorrow.
No. I I'm being honest.
I want you.
Believe me.
What's up, guys?
Are you too cool for me now?
Everyone else was at my party.
You weren't there.
I was busy.
- Busy?
- Uh-huh.
What's this busy's name, huh?
Ladies, have you heard about SkyCom?
Heard what?
That the entire flight is just a cover.
- Meaning?
- Well
A cover for medical experiments, man.
- Maciek, you watch too much TV.
- What if it's true?
Dude, I was up for space,
not Russian roulette.
Dude, even if it's true, all the babes
will still want your photo on their walls.
You think?
- Of course.
- Sure.
Yeah right!
- No. They want mine.
- Exactly!
You're up.
Hey, why are you so mysterious?
Come on, man. Just share her name.
Tell us, man.
It's not making an impact.
What now?
What are you doing here?
Watching you sleep.
You're so pretty.
You're a mad man.
Mad about you.
When do you go?
Soon.
Way too soon.
After that
we'll always be together.
I have a favor to ask you.
Take care of her.
It's my pleasure.
I think we'll get along.
- You know what you're doing?
- Sure. I can drive it.
Whoo!
Why are we waiting? We need to leave.
We're waiting for Borowski, major.
Hey-o.
Niko, come on.
What are we waitin' on?
Come on!
Let's go!
The tests
will last three weeks.
You're in for hard work, gentlemen.
Although it'll be worth it to you.
One man will see with his very eyes
if Earth really is round.
Good luck, men.
You are one big team, and in the end,
that is what will matter most.
Mr. Sergey.
Thank you, Mrs. Rewicz.
My name is Sergey Pudovkin.
I am the CEO of this crazy place.
Welcome to my world.
Thank you.
I'm liking this place more and more.
The views are amazing.
Good morning.
Professor Andrey Davidov,
the actual father of this mission.
- Rewicz.
- Davidov.
I mistakenly thought the father was you.
However, two dads are even better.
It's more progressive.
Try it.
Your brain
must be behind the cryogenetics, hmm?
Yes.
What's with the freezing, Professor?
We don't intend to freeze anyone.
We're just studying
the reactions of the body to
um, temporary temperature decreases.
We are planning to
sub-hibernate the astronaut, Edyta.
Then we're going to
slow down his vital functions.
The stem cells
will then gain completely new traits.
Such as?
With their help
we'll be able to help with cancer,
multiple sclerosis
and many other illnesses.
We're not going to
make it public yet. Capisce?
Why during the flight in particular?
What's special about it?
We've tried Earth.
The results have been promising,
although this time we want to
to test out the sub-hibernation,
you know, in space.
Why?
How about flying to Mars
Edyta?
Imagine how much
this technology will cost?
And, of course, Poland will get
its cut in profits as well.
If it's all planned well.
Do you understand?
Yes. Pretty much.
I'll give you that.
And if something should go wrong?
Then we sacrifice.
Your husband called. He misses you a lot.
You're going back to Poland.
