Missions (2017) s01e07 Episode Script

Previously on Missions You weren't a second choice.
- Jeanne, what are you doing? - I have to see for myself.
- Come back! - Don't worry, Captain, I'll be back soon.
How long did you think it would take me to find out? - What? - Komarov.
You don't know what he represents.
It's beyond us all.
I'll take him off your hands.
What are you doing? Are you lost your mind? You're coming with me.
- Why did you leave? - I have to get her.
Do you know what will happen? - You have something we want.
- You're not having it.
You're making a mistake.
What's going on? Komarov, where is he? Nice to meet you, Mr.
K.
He's not dangerous.
He's the bravest man in space history.
- Where did he go to? - When I watched the stars with my father, he told me about the man who sacrificed himself for Gagarin.
It's an important decision.
A decision you've already had to take in the past.
In the electromagnetic spectrum MOSCOW You're late.
You know me.
I didn't notice the time passing.
You could have used that fine watch the first secretary gave you.
It's stopped working.
Soviet quality.
The Swiss are quaking in their boots! You'll have the same soon.
No one will make one in my name, like for the great Gagarin.
They finally came around to considering you.
Just a technical mission, routine.
I'd rather go to the Moon.
I won't be in the history books, like you, Leonov or Tereshkova.
Just an anonymous number that no one will remember.
Could you stop whining for just a minute? I stayed in space for one hour.
You'll be there a whole day.
I'm proud of you, Volodia.
What's it like up there? You freeze your balls off.
I don't know.
It's impossible to put into words.
I crossed the Pacific, Kamchatka and the Strait of Magellan in 15 minutes.
15 minutes.
Have you read Homer? I felt like Hermes, the messenger of the gods, flying over the waves.
When the sun rose, I saw the thin blue layer that covers Earth.
All that separates us from the void.
When you look down, it's like observing ants.
They look so sure of themselves, too busy to look upwards.
They don't know that the slightest thing could destroy their world.
You'll know when you're up there.
My brother.
We should do this more often.
When was the last time? - Three years ago.
- Oh, right! - Forgotten your poor old dad? - Stop it with the guilt trip! I have to do it with old man Roulon.
- He whistles Voulzy tunes.
- Voulzy? Yeah, all those cheesy old songs.
So what shall we look at? I was thinking M45.
No, Dad! The Pleiades, seriously? I'm not a beginner! It's been a long time, back to the basics.
Come on! I don't know - M42? - Orion? OK, because it's you.
I feel like a little girl.
- You're not any more.
- Thank you! - You like spoiling the mood.
- That's true.
Remember I told you that Mortier made me have an MRI scan? - They found something.
- What? Nothing much.
Maybe cancer, but tiny.
Dad, no! - Why do you never tell me anything? - I'm telling you, aren't I? You're a pain! What a great night! I'm not dead! I'll fight it.
Mortier says we found it in time, so relax.
I shouldn't have told you.
Like with Mum? Your secrets have never been a good idea.
Hey, stop sulking.
I'm fine, OK? I'm still full of life.
Look at the sky.
And smile a bit.
Mars delivers! No, please! Oh, shit, no! I searched everywhere, it just vanished.
What about Gemma? What happened? There were seven of you, eight with him.
Where are the other two? Where's Gemma? Edward, calm down.
- What? - Nothing.
There's been a misunderstanding.
You must have mistaken my politeness for weakness.
I'll have to set that impression straight.
- They've gone.
- Komarov was in that room.
You were the last person to see him.
We won't saying nothing more.
Not with guns pointed at us.
I've learned that you obtain more with politeness and a gun than with just politeness.
Was that her? I think it was here before.
Who made it? Jeanne? - Do you hear me? - Gramat! Gramat, can you hear me? Jeanne! Simon, come in, dammit! Simon! Can't you hear me? Shit! Williams, come on.
Bloody weather! I can't stay long.
What's going on? There was a meeting with Mishin yesterday.
We asked him to postpone the launch.
- Why? - We've found 203 problems with the conception of the capsule.
Just one of them could mean you death.
What did he say? Nothing.
He doesn't want to go before the Politburo.
They're sticking to the schedule, whatever happens.
With double shifts? You don't understand.
The system is such a mess that no one's willing to make a decision.
They'll launch Soyuz, come what may.
And you're sure to die.
- You have to pull out.
- I can't.
You know that.
They'd only send a replacement: Yuri.
They won't risk him on a suicide mission.
They will.
Didn't you just tell me the system's a complete mess? Shit! You can't go up in it! - If only Korolev was here - Korolev is dead.
Thanks for warning me.
Is that all the effect is has on you? You'll die! You seem pleased.
There are opportunities everywhere.
If you only choose to see them.
Think! Think! That's enough! Call Gramat! You! - He's turned off his radio.
- That's so convenient.
- Call him.
- She's telling the truth.
Call him now! That got away from me, Meyer.
Sometimes I just can't control myself.
I don't want to do that to others.
Captain, it's Basile.
They've got in.
I don't know what they might do if I don't in touch with you.
They just want to talk with Gemma.
Thanks, Basile.
How did they get in? What happened? The explanations can wait, Captain.
May I speak with Ms.
Williams, please, it is no much to ask.
Switch your radio on.
- Gemma online.
- We got in.
But the Russian, or whatever it is, disappear.
What? ¿What do you mean with disappear? Like it was here and a moment later he was gone.
Right.
Wait for me as long as it takes.
It's might be important.
- What? No - I'm not asking.
Over.
- You win.
- Come.
We'll never find her if you dawdle like that.
Come on! Come on.
- BASILE? - IRENE? IS THAT YOU? NO.
SORRY, BUT I HAD TO TAKE HER PLACE.
WHO ARE YOU, THEN? VLADIMIR? YES.
AND MORE.
MEANING? I AM MARS Are you done here? Yeah, I'm coming.
READ CAREFULLY I know all this.
I could see the first secretary.
Is there any point? I could make him replace you.
He owes me that much.
Yuri, I have to go.
- Volodia, please - No, listen to me.
I feel No.
I know I have to go.
It's my destiny, my opportunity.
Remember when I said no one would remember me? I was wrong.
We'll be together in the history books, my brother.
You'll always be the first man in space.
I'll be the first to die there.
Goodbye, Yuri.
No plans to fall in love, then? I try.
It's not my fault if I get nowhere.
They're too predictable, I get bored Can't you be one of those nice girls like in Hollywood films who meet some wonderful lovely guy and get on perfectly? I've already got that guy, Dad.
I'm looking at him! I won't always be here.
- You should find someone.
- I've got plenty of time, Dad! Not really, sweetheart.
It's inoperable.
How long have you known? Two months.
So what does that mean in concrete terms? That I don't have very long left.
So I want to make the most of it while I still can.
OK.
And then? And then you'll bury me, as all children bury their parents.
You didn't think I'd be here to hear about your heartbreaks for the rest of your life, did you? And this is how you tell me? It's like you're enjoying it.
Yes, I'm enjoying it being here with you.
How long? A few months.
And then I'll ask you to do something for me.
It's hard to ask this of you, but There'll come a time when I'll no longer be myself.
I don't want to hang on like that.
Do you understand? No, I don't understand.
- I don't want to suffer, that's all.
- And you really think I'll No, Dad, I won't do that.
Never, Dad.
Do you hear me? Remember the story about Komarov? The day he had to take off from Baikonur? - Yes.
- Gagarin turn up, in his spacesuit, ready to take his place.
But Komarov wouldn't let him.
Gagarin could never accept Komarov saving his life.
- He was right.
- No.
He should have accepted Komarov's gesture for what it was, the greatest possible proof of friendship.
Swimming against the current gets you nowhere.
So help me.
There's only you I can ask.
Is this my great destiny, Vladimir? To die in some hole on Mars? There's no point.
When I accepted to come on this mission to Mars, I was told I could die here.
You're not going to die.
I know that.
- It's nice of you to keep trying.
- I'm not trying.
We're not alone.
Trust me.
Are you OK? You should go home.
Do you think he's suffering? I don't know.
Thank you.
I think it's time, Dad.
Our last night.
The sky is magnificent tonight.
Mars delivers! Jeanne.
Jeanne! See, you were right.
I can't do without you.
I told you.
Alex, come, quick! There's a type-A disturbance forming in the east.
- Shit.
- It's moving.
- Is that good news? - No, it's very bad news! - Calculate the direction.
- I'll try.
I'm waiting for data I think it's coming this way.
- Shit! - Of course.
How long? Ten hours or so, even less.
OK, Allan.
That's was fun.
We're leaving now.
- What the fuck are you doing? - And our game? We're heading back to the ship and we're leaving this fucking planet ASAP.
- What about Gemma? - I'm not going to wait her.
- You can't! - Try me.
This ship has no chance of leaving Mars and you know it, you bastard! Honestly, it's the least of my concerns right now.
Sit down.
Sit down.
Lieutenant Doisneau.
What the fuck? I've been looking for you everywhere.
Take me with you.
Take me back to Earth.
