Constellation

Alice, baby, talk to me.

You gotta stay awake.

Can't fall asleep. Alice!

How did you get there?

Alice? Baby?

My baby.

Are you a ghost?

Mummy's gonna be right back, okay?

Okay.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Mummy's gonna take care of you.

My love.

You smell like you again.

Who else should I smell like?

This might sting a little bit.

But it's gonna get you warm.

Mamma...

I missed you.

I missed you too.

Oh, no. We're out of hot water.

I'm gonna boil you some more.

Don't go.

Mamma. I'm cold.

Mummy?

Alice?

Alice?

Where are you?

- Where's-- - I'm here.

What's the matter?

Where is she?

Who?

TsUP, this is Station. Do you copy?

Can you hear me?

I've lost time.

I've lost hours.

I think my blood oxygen is low.

I passed out in--

Remaining life support, six hours 45 minutes.

Major Lysenko.

Commander Caldera.

You make me feel obscurely better.

You always say that,

but I never know if it's true.

I have equipment here that immediately needs to go

with search and rescue for Soyuz 1.

It is not certain that there will be a search and rescue for Soyuz 1.

Why?

There is no sign of life.

Let's go.

Okay. Do it.

It's gonna work.

Nice and steady.

Nice and ste--

Yes.

I don't know if you can hear me in the blind.

This is Station.

That's battery two transferred to Soyuz.

It's taken approximately 55 minutes to switch one battery.

I have four left.

And then 90 minutes undocking procedure.

Oh, shit.

Hello?

Can anyone hear me?

This is Station.

I'm afraid of the dark.

There are other rockets, right?

I mean, there's all those insane billionaires. StarCosm. Yes?

Even if StarCosm went crazy, there--

there's no way they'd launch in under a day.

And she doesn't have a day. She has a few hours.

There must be a way for her to get back.

I mean, that has to be possible.

They didn't manage to send her the deorbit parameters in time.

I don't know-- What is a deorbit parameter, Frederic?

Meaning even if she fixes the capsule,

she's going to have to calculate her own reentry.

This is very dangerous.

But this is what she's trained for.

I mean, you trained her for four years.

Yes?

Oh, for God's sake, don't you cry.

Don't you sit there crying, for fuck's sake.

- Wendy! - Coming!

- Bye, Alice. - See you later.

Alice...

You done?

I just need to talk to the others before they leave.

Is she dead?

No.

She doesn't have a lot of time though.

She's not dead until we know that she's dead, is she?

No.

I love you, kiddo.

Hey, baby. Hey, Magnus.

I thought I'd record something since I can't talk to you guys.

Okay, so I gotta fix all this stuff so I can get home.

It's nice to hear a voice...

even if it's just my own.

Yes.

This is the third.

Kind of need to hurry up.

...is the third. Kind of need to hurry up.

...is the third.

Kind of need to hurry up.

You gotta stop breathing.

Stop breathing, Jo.

You stay in Destiny.

Paul?

What the hell are StarCosm doing?

We're talking to Alyanna. They are scrambling,

but, Henry, she'll be dead by then.

That's a third of a billion dollars to retrieve two dead bodies

and some experimental equipment.

Some experimental equipment, Michaela?

It's a highly significant piece of research.

Not only for our understanding of the theoretical universe,

but also for about a thousand different practical applications

that can make a fundamental difference to life on this planet.

The science cannot trump the people, Henry.

Yeah.

Okay.

Station, this is TsUP.

Okay.

Hi. Read loud and clear.

Any chance for a chat with my family today?

Station, this is TsUP.

This is a recorded message.

We have S-band failure and cannot hear you.

- Open all bands for local transmission. - Christ.

We're attempting to upload your deorbit parameters.

RPL requests that you retrieve CAL data core.

Restore full power to Soyuz 1.

Initiate undock as soon as possible.

You have approximately two hours and 30 minutes of life support

as of 9:38 on 10/15.

Come on.

Station, this is TsUP. This is a recorded message.

- You open on loops one and four? - Sure we did.

There is nothing near her, not from us.

We don't put satellites in the vicinity of the ISS.

Between you and me, the US Air Force has moveable satellites.

I've requested that they put them higher.

We know that, Henry,

but moving them closer isn't going to help reach her.

If the damage is too significant, she may not be able to hear anyone.

Commander Caldera, you have a call from Skagerrak Marine Observatory.

Oh, Christ.

Skagerrak?

Don't look at me like that.

I'm not losing the CAL. I am not losing her.

That is not what happens.

Station, TsUP. This is a recorded message.

We have S-band failure and cannot hear you.

You heard from your sister?

I think you know that she has passed away.

Have you heard from your brother?

Not in many years.

Thank God.

...as we wait to find out

what's become of the astronaut still left on the International Space Station

now literally the loneliest person in the universe.

With me is retired astronaut Bud Caldera.

Commander, what happens when the structure of the ISS is damaged in such a way?

That would lead to what is called a "depress."

Depressurization of the various modules on the ISS.

That's pretty much the most serious thing that can happen.

Just talk through what would be taking place up there

with the astronaut that's left.

Well, it goes by protocol.

We have these flip-books with checklists,

and we prepare pretty much every scenario during training.

So even if it's an unusual situation, they'll be working according to a scheme.

But you have experience of what can happen if something goes wrong up there.

Sure.

It must bring back some memories for you.

No, I'm not looking for--

I don't spend my time bringing up memories.

But you do have experience

on what it's like to bring bodies back home.

That's not a question. That's an observation.

Can you maybe just tell me a little

about what you imagine they must be feeling right now?

Yeah, and why the hell should I do that?

And you instruct me on what's "a little"?

I don't get paid to use my goddamn imagination.

Henry Caldera, many thanks.

It's Bud! Bud Caldera, for Christ's sakes!

Fuck.

TsUP, this is Station. Come in.

Okay.

So that is power fully restored to Soyuz 1.

- Station, this is TsUP. - This is Station. Come in.

This is a recorded message.

You have approximately

- 98 minutes of life support as of 10:48. - Of course.

Minimum undock time is 90 minutes.

Fuck.

RPL requests you retrieve CAL data core.

You're kidding me.

We're attempting to upload your deorbit parameters.
