That's impossible.
LYDIA: You've seen his body, Anna.
I've also seen the photographs.
The DNA is a 93% match.
(SPEAKS RUSSIAN)
(SHRIEKS)
LYDIA:
ISAAK: They tried to kill me because
I found that fucking cosmonaut!
They tried to silence me
and they killed my boy!
I'm gonna find them
and I'm gonna kill them.
(BOTH SPEAK FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
What happened to you?
Flew too close to the sun.
Just as you're about to.
Where are the others?
Are they dead?
SLAVEK OVER RADIO: This is ISS.
This is a message in a bottle.
EMIL: A call for help
that we cannot ignore.
Anna Zarathi is focused on
one single objective -
to bring our crew back alive.
(ANNA BREATHES HEAVILY)
(SUBTLE MUSIC)
(FIRE CRACKLES)
(MAN WHISPERS) For each
intersection in our lives,
there exists a new version
of our existence.
As many versions
as leaves on a tree.
As many leaves as universes.
As many universes
..as there arestars.
Sometimes, during a solar storm,
these almost-identical realities
seem to graze each other,
to touch.
To merge.
(COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM CRACKLES)
(SYSTEM BEEPS)
Anna to Xi.
Where are you at, Doctor?
(BEEP!)
ANNA: That's it.
The EMI impact's operational.
We just have to get rid of
the old ones now.
SLAVEK: It's getting late.
It's time to go back now.
That's it. We done?
Recess is over.
The bell's about to ring.
(OVER RADIO) OK.
I'm unlocking myself.
Hey. So how you feeling out there?
(PANTS)
Like someone whose dream
has come true.
(SIGHS)
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Airlock's clear.
Copy.
Let me enjoy it a little bit longer.
MAN: ISS to TsUP. Do you copy?
TsUP to Kurz. Copy.
Solar activity worse than expected.
Huge solar flare.
You must take shelter
Anna, did you get that?
(AUDIO CRACKLES)
Something's happening here.
Tony?
Anna, can you hear me?
Anna, you gotta get back.
(PANTS) Tony!
Anna, you gotta get back here now!
(CRIES OUT)
Anna?
Tony?
We've gotta get her inside.
There's no time!
I'm not leaving her out there.
Anna!

(GAS HISSES)
(MUTTERS) Shit.
He's alive.
Tony.
I'm alive. (CHUCKLES)
Damn. What did we do?
Calm down, Slavek.
We all knew what we were doing.
What about him? Did he know?
Hey, keep calm. We'll do as planned.
Put them in the Soyuz and
send them back. That's all.
Tony, that's us.
We can't just strap them in
like that and abandon them.
We're not abandoning them.
We're sending them home.
They'll be back before
the storm is over.
Before anyone finds out.
We're protecting them.
They'll look after them down there.
They promised to.
And think about it.
When we go back down,
we'll be able to meet with them.
Talk with them.
Learn about them,
about ourselves.
(GAS HISSES)
(METAL CLANGS)
Anna.
You're not supposed to be here.
MIKHAIL: Anna to Mikhail.
Do you copy?
EMIL: Anna, can you hear us?
(ANNA CHUCKLES) Um, yeah.
(PANTS)
Anna, what's going on?
I can see myself.
You mean
you can see your reflection?
No.
I can see myself inside the station.
She's having an embolism.
Anna to Mikhail.
You don't have enough pressure.
You've gotta get back
inside the Soyuz.
Negative. I'm fine.
They're inside. They're alive.
I'm going to go ahead.
Copy that, but hurry up.
She's three minutes away
from hypothermia.
She has to get to safety.
Stay calm, Mikhail.
That's just what she's going to do,
but inside the ISS.
Turn up the volume.
(PANTS)
(PANTS)
It's OK.
She's breathing too fast.
(ALARMS BLARE)
It's OK. I'm on course.
Listen to me carefully.
You don't have much time left.
Everything's fine. Everything's fine.
Grab the handle and turn it.
My fingersthey're frozen.
(WHIMPERS)
(PANTS)
The airlock isn't functioning.
Request confirmation.
(GRUNTS)
I repeat, Quest is not working.
We gotta turn back.
Anna, this is Emil. You've got to
override the safety locks.
You know the procedure?
Affirmative.
It'll take too long.
She's only got a few minutes left.
It's our only chance to save her.
Yeah - or to lose everyone.
Maybe you'd like to take my place?
Anna, you've got to override
the safety locks one by one.
Which way?
Counterclockwise.
Of course.
(TOOL WHIRRS)
(PANTS)
Almost.
I can't.
You can.
I can't.
You can.
Damn it.
Could you sing us something?
(PANTS)
(SINGS) # Daisy, Daisy
# Give me your answer, do
# I'm half crazy #
(PANTS)
Only 30 seconds left.
If she faints, she'll die.
Stay with us.
(ALARM PIPS)
(WHISPERS) I'm sorry.
Anna, can you hear us?
Anna!
Anna to Mikhail. Do you copy?
Vital signs?
Radio?
Nothing.
Anna to Emil.
Anna to Emil.
Anna?
We've lost her.

Anna to Mikhail. Do you copy?
Anna, are you there?
Anna to Mikhail. Do you copy?
TsUP to Anna, TsUP to Anna.
I can hear you.
(ALL CHEER)
Mikhail here! Thank God!
Where are you?
I'm in the ISS with the crew.
Please Please, please calm down.
Anna, can you describe
the situation to us?
I'm in Tranquility.
All the motors are depressurised
except Tranquility, Quest,
Unity and Zvezda.
I'm with Xi, Slavek and
And?
Anna, are you with Anthony Kurz?
No.
He was in Zarya
at the time of the accident.
He took shelter in the Soyuz
and got stuck there.
Then Zarya depressurised.
The crew has had no news from him
for a week.
I'm gonna go down
through the modules,
take him a suit and bring him back
if he's still alive.
Copy that.
You've got 120 minutes to evacuate
before the station flies
over Kazakhstan.
We'll be waiting for you here.
Copy that.
(BEEP!)
SLAVEK: Anna.
We have only four suits
and there are five of us.
No more than four people
can fit in the Soyuz.
Please don't tell me
you're abandoning him.
There's very little chance
that he's still alive.
But without him
..you wouldn't have deorbited
to intersect with the satellite.
Without him, you wouldn't be here.
Without him, I wouldn't be here.
ANNA #2: There will only
be four of you.
This world down there
is not my world.
There's no room for the two of us.
I'll go to Anthony.
I'll leave him my suit.
Please.
Can you leave us five minutes?
Mmm.

Airlock for ADDO.
We've got a problem.
Starlight I
has just gone off course.
Airlock, what's the visibility?
It's gaining altitude
and slowing down.
It's going to intersect
with the ISS.
In how long?
27 minutes.
(MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY)
Xavier, please contact the Americans.
Ask them what the hell
they think they're doing.
(MUTTERS) OK.
Anna, can you hear us?
Can hear you.
You've gotta evacuate.
But you won't have time
to get Anthony.
What happened?
We've got a new problem.
Starlight's trajectory has changed.
It will hit the ISS in 25 minutes.
FEF:
(STARTS ENGINE)
(MAN ON PHONE SPEAKS
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
SLAVEK: 12 minutes.
Anna, we're out of time.
I can reach Kurz's module
through the depressurised sections.
In the meantime,
you get to the Soyuz.
On my end, I undock Kurz's module
manually and let it loose.
Anna, the module closes
from the inside.
If Anthony's dead,
he can't open the hatch.
And you won't have time to get back.
(PANTS)
Then it's a one-way ticket.
It's suicide.
Without fuel, your Soyuz
can't enter the atmosphere.
We're not coming back. We'll wait
for the American ATV and its robot.
If he's alive - and I mean IF -
there's not enough oxygen
to survive for four days
until the robot gets here.
Even if you're undocked,
impact from Starlight
will blast the station
into a million pieces.
No way you survive that crash.
TsUP: 10 minutes to impact.
ISS to TsUP. How do things stand?
He knewthe risk he was taking.
ISS here.
We're opening Quest for evacuation.

the evacuation going?
SLAVEK: We're ready to leave.
(DARK MUSIC)
(GRUNTS)
No!
No!
(WHISPERS IN FRENCH)
(SPARSE MUSIC)
We can see you now.
ANNA: We're coming to
the jump-off point.
OK, the Soyuz is some place
but there's a lot of debris.
Hurry up. You've only got
seven minutes left.
Copy that.
(GAS HISSES)
(DEVICE BEEPS)
(DULL THUD)
TsUP: Six minutes.
XAVIER: We've located a signal.
It's NASA's computer, alright,
but it's not coming from them.
(WHISPERS) It's coming from here.
Here in Baikonur?
No, from here. From the Cosmodrome.

Anna, we've got to go.
(GRUNTS REPEATEDLY)
(PANTS AND SCREAMS) Anthony!
(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
(ALARM BEEPS)
TsUP: Slavek, 60 seconds remaining.
What are you doing?
Start the engines.
Don't listen to them, please.
Open up!
Tony! Tony!
Do you hear? The debris from the
station will blow you to pieces.
Get out of there!
Wait. Wait, please, please, please.
I know she can make it.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
No, no, no! No, no, no, no, no!
No, no! No!
We're going!
40 seconds before impact.
(MAN BREATHES UNEVENLY)
(WHISPERS) Anna!
Anna!
30 seconds.
15 seconds.
Forgive me.
It's OK.
It's OK.

Ms Zarathi,
a rescue robot lifted off
at Cape Canaveral this morning.
Is there any hope of finding
the remains of Captain Kurz?
I sincerely regret that our efforts
in bringing him back alive
did not succeed.
A part of me stayed up there
with him.
REPORTER: One question, please!
Toni Boscoe for
Agence France-Presse.
Do you think the ISS
should be rebuilt?
I don't know. Probably.
Mankind has always tried
to go beyond its limits.
The question could be isn't that
precisely how we create new borders,
drawing an artificial line
at the altitude of 404km?
Perhaps we should change
our perspective.
Go beyond and have another look
at ourselves.
Perhaps we would understand then
that the new frontiers
are not up there,
but
..in here.
I went to outer space
..gazing at infinity and
..it is myself that I found.
I turned back and faced the Earth.
I looked at it
and one thing became clear to me.
Among every international
space station,
Earth is definitely
the most beautiful.
(DARK MUSIC)
Thank you.
