Capsule

Guy...

...I know you can hear me.

I need you to do something.

Guy, you need to trust me.

You need to wake up.

Oh, uh...

Harry...

Harry?

Harry? Are you there? Come in.(panting)

Harry?

Harry, come back to me.

You bugger, Harry!

No, no, no, no.

Come on, Harry, stop...Don't do this to me. Come on.

Motherfuck...

Come on, come on,come on, come on.

Ah, fuck.(panting)

Oh, come on, you stupid...

Come on, come on.

Okay. Okay, okay.

Alright.(muttering)

Keep breathing.

You can breathe.

You can breathe, Guy. Come on.

Ignore the dial.

Come on. You can breathe,you can breathe.

Deep breaths. Come on.

Deep, deep breaths. Come on.Come on, come on...

(garbled communication)

Fylingdales... Harry.

Harry? Fylingdales?

Um, Fylingdales, I'm here.(garbled communication)

Hermes, are you receiving me?(garbled communication)

Come in? Um...

Harry, I can't...(communication cutting out)

Harry, I can't understand you.

You're...you're breaking up too badly.

Harry?(garbled communication)

How do I fix this?

Ah, sh... shit!!

Oh, God.

Fucking... fucking Guy.Well done.

What are you?

What are you? What are you?What are you?

Alright.

Come on, Hermes.

Okay.

There we are. Come on. Come on.

That's it.

Hermes?

Come on.

Oh, come on.(panting)

Come on. Shhh-shhh-shhh.

I love you, Lottie.

That's how...

That's how you...

That's how you do it.

That's... that's not right.

That's not right.

(garbled communication)

...you there? This is Fylingdales.

Are you receiving me?

I repeat... (breaking up)

...dales. (static)

Guy, you cunt, will you tell me what's happening?

Harry? Harry?

Oh, thank Christ. (laughing with relief)

Guy, where the bloody hell were you?

I was, uh, I was taking...taking a flight.

It's my day off, Harry.(laughing)

Where... where the helldo you think I was?

Where were you?

We thought we lost you when we couldn't raise you.

Don't you dare make us go through that again.

You frightened us all enough on this flight.

Har-Harry?

Is, uh...(coughing)

Is Lottie there?

Is... is she with you?

No, she's not in the room right now, Guy.

Um... I...

I think I must be losing oxygen.

Harry... dial's going crazy.

Everything was fine and then,uh...

I can't rememberthe last few minutes.

What the hell went wrong?H-how do I fix this?

We'll take a look at it, Guy.

We lost you just before preflight.

No telemetry was received from Hermes

till the system's rebooted.

Graham and the team are going through everything

as quickly as they can to solve this,

to find out what's gone awry.

There aren't too many options, Guy.

I've never seen Graham move so fast.

He's breaking a sweat. You'd be impressed.

I need you to give us details, Guy.

Guy, be specific.

Alright, but...

I-I don't fully know...

specifics.

Uh...

the suit vented oxygen.

Left me with nothing to breathe.I, uh...

...think...think I blacked out.

Um... well,how long did you lose me for?

We had no indication down here that you blacked out.

Doc, you reading this?

What did Medical say?

Harry?- Hold on, Guy.

We'll get an answer for you. - Well... Harry, don't...

don't tell me to hold.Not now.

We lost Medical when we lost you.

It's gonna take them a few to figure that one out.

My guess, you were probably out

for two minutes; at the most, three.

How do you feel?

Three... three minutes?

Harry, it... it felt longerthan... three minutes.

I... I've lost half my oxygen.

I just... I just had to fixthe suit's electrical circuits.

That is, if it worked,don't know.

Hav... haven't tested it.

Actually, I don't knowif I can test it up here.

Uh, can you?- We'll check the diagnostics.

How the helldid the suit fail? Hmm?

Thought you chapsmeant to test for these things.

I wouldn't want to guess.

Not until the team are finished trawling through the readout.

Okay...

Uh, can you work faster?I'm, uh...

struggling to breathe a bit,Harry.

Chest feeling really tight.

Guy? - Uh-huh.

I'm slightly worried about what the doctor's telling me.

Be aware you may have the beginnings of hypoxia.

We need you to act fast on this.

First things first. What does your oxygen read?

Uh...

it says... 21.

Uh, figures 2-1.

But I'm currently only breathingthe oxygen in the capsule.

We know, Guy. But that's not going to be enough.

It's not designed for long-term life support without the suit.

I'm not intendingto be up here that long.

We'll have to get you more oxygen.

Take it easy, slow breaths. Brian's checking the circuits.

Hopefully you fixed it. Just breathe easy.

Calm and slow.

Calm and slow.

You are missing this view,Harry.

It's beautiful.

You can see everything.

Every cloud.

Every river.

Every... city alightwith life and colour.

Oh, please, do keep on rubbing it in.

I will.

Right until the momentyou punch me.

Sounds about right.

Now, I know you like to slack off,

but how about you shoot some film for us?

Ready to have that beautiful view to look at.

Actually do some work up there.

We are looking forward to developing

those high-altitude shots you've been taking.

Uh...

Six minutes down, four to go.

Good. Take what you can, but don't waste it.

You know, it's a shame...Har-Harry.

If you hadn'tchanged your mind...

gone back to your desk jobafter all those years

of being a...a kerosene jockey...

...you could've beenthe one up here.

I'm not ashamed. Not ashamed at all.

I just lost faith in what we were doing

and who we were doing it for.

I do miss the American RB-45s.

Wonderful, that.

And how is the wife?(Harry laughing)

I see you haven't lost your sense of humour up there.

It was always the one thingI couldn't shift.

What do you expect,bad influence like you around?

You know what your problem is, Taylor, old boy?

You never could take orders from someone

unless you respected them and believed in the cause.

And that, my friend, is why today,

you're up there having all the fun

and I'm down here.

It's certainly not fun now.

Turns out today isn't my day.

You know, I'd rather be flyingthe 45s again with you?
