00:13What's this about?
00:14Alexei.
00:16Is he alright?
00:17Something happened.
00:18Get dressed.
00:19You're coming with us.
00:24What's your sister?
00:26I'll be back soon.
00:38I'll be back soon.
01:03I'll be back soon.
01:04Please, please.
01:06Whatever's happened, you must know we're good workers.
01:12Alexei, he would never, he would never, I don't know, whatever.
01:15I'm waiting for you.
01:30Chief designer.
01:33Chief designer.
01:35Is Alexei alright?
01:37It won't tell me what's happened.
01:39He left for a training mission last week and now...
01:48What is it?
01:49Just the surface of the moon.
01:52Is Alexei going to the moon?
01:55No, my little one.
01:56He's already there.
02:00We can understand.
02:05We can understand.
02:07We can understand.
02:12We can understand.
02:26I take this step for my country, my people, and for the Marxist-Leninist way of life,
02:34knowing that today is one small step on the journey that will someday take us all to the stars.
03:34I take this step for my country, my people, and I take this step for my country, and I take
03:34this step for my country.
03:34I take this step for my country, my people, and I take this step for my country, my people, and
03:39I take this step for my country.
04:05As General Secretary Brezhnev, join thousands of his fellow citizens at a parade to honor cosmonaut Alexei Leonov,
04:15the man responsible for the first ever moon landing, a new hero for our times.
04:28To the Chief Designer of the Soviet Space Programme,
04:31for your efforts leading to our nation's victory in the race to the moon,
04:35you are hereby bestowed the honor of Hero of the Soviet Union,
04:40Signed General Secretary Leonard Brezhnev.
04:50Congratulations, comrade.
04:52Deputy Chairman Tarasov.
04:54I'm sorry, we couldn't have you at the parade for this great achievement,
04:58but KGB is now more concerned than ever about what the Americans might do to you,
05:02if your identity were to become public.
05:03The parades are for children.
05:04All I request is a word of the General Secretary about our next phase.
05:08No, no, no, now is not the time to discuss this.
05:10Then when?
05:11I sent my proposals to the ground many months ago.
05:13Yes, I was briefed on them, Venus, Mars.
05:15No, the moon must remain your focus.
05:17The moon is for the cement superiority of the socialist cause.
05:20Yes, the moon is just a stepping stone.
05:23How do you need to be so short-sighted?
05:26Well, maybe you're the one being short-sighted, comrade.
05:30Get your own house and order before talking of Venus.
05:43I'm sorry, comrade.
05:46Venus must stay here, where it will be safe.
05:53Of course.
06:13Yes.
06:47Have a pleasant day.
07:14Late starts in the morning, you can't read my eyes a while.
07:16I've got lost.
07:18This baby goes like a maze.
07:20You'll get used to it.
07:22A few weeks at the best.
07:23A few weeks at the best.
07:53A few weeks at the best.
08:23A few weeks at the best.
08:23Has he been assigned a lunar mission yet?
08:25I don't want to find out like Leonel's wife.
08:28Tanya, please, not now.
08:31You know the chief keeps his cards close.
08:35But don't worry.
08:36I'll make sure that you're the last to know.
08:37Go to hell, Sasha.
08:39Love you.
08:40Bye.
09:00You need to stop pushing them.
09:02It's ridiculous.
09:04After the victories, I've handled them on a platter.
09:07They still treat me like a glorified Arab boy.
09:10You should take them seriously.
09:12The Americans are...
09:14The Americans, the Americans.
09:15You all see Americans...
09:17...hiding under a big rocket cable.
09:20And indeed, they are.
09:34One of our assets in Washington has alerted us that the Americans have somehow acquired your plans for the lunar
09:40base.
09:42How?
09:43These are kept secure in engineering.
09:46It appears that someone in Star City is working for the other side.
09:48It appears that someone in Star City is working for the other side.
10:21Oh, there she is.
10:22The night witch herself.
10:25You know, they say she called over a hundred Germans during the Great Patriotic War.
10:36Am I supposed to gain her attention if I'm giving her the dregs?
10:40So much what I must notice to stall.
10:43It's mind-numbing drivel.
10:46Why is it important to the state how long he spends on a toilet?
10:50How much paprika she puts in the purpose to you?
10:52I just didn't spend four years at Lamontal to become a glorified secretary.
10:56Oh, be patient, Irina.
10:57I always give the mundane assignments to the new workers.
11:00When I first started, I had to listen to Georgie Frunzer for six months.
11:05He used to sit in his apartment alone.
11:08The days on end.
11:09No one to speak with except his mother on Sundays.
11:12It was pathetic.
11:14Silence is nice sometimes.
11:19At least we both have cosmonauts to listen to.
11:21My girl and your boy, they're going to be on the Lunar 16 mission.
11:25She's going to be the first woman on the moon.
11:27They're going to know the name Yana Akhmatova all around the world.
11:38One minute to jump.
11:39Double-check your harnesses and altimeters.
11:43I can't believe you've ever told her yet.
11:46Tanya's not stupid.
11:47She senses something, but...
11:49They're demanding even more secrecy than with Leon up.
11:52I understand it.
11:54Americans could sabotage the mission.
11:56You never know what they're going to do.
11:57Bullshit.
11:57Bullshit, Valjosh.
11:59We still want to be embarrassed in front of the world if the mission fails.
12:02Yeah, with the woman on board...
12:03We won't fail.
12:04We already put one bitch in orbit.
12:06Why not another?
12:08Wait, shut up.
12:09Stay focused.
12:11I, for one, am proud to be piloting the first woman to the moon.
12:14And I am proud to have you as my pilot, Valjosh.
12:16Maybe you can hold her dress during the parade.
12:18Maybe I will.
12:19Valjosh's been up three times already.
12:21How many times have you been, Sergeant?
12:23Uh, they're saving me for the big one.
12:24That must be it.
12:27Okay, we're out of the tube.
12:29Valjosh, you're up first.
12:30Let's go.
12:35Now remember, keep your arms.
12:38Maintain your center of gravity in your torso as you descend.
12:41You didn't have proper body position last time, so you landed roughly.
12:48Ah, enough of this talk.
12:49Fuck, we're not cops.
12:53Let's go.
12:58Crazy.
13:15Crazy.
13:16I just want to hold my arm.
13:18Velikovah!
13:19Ignore him!
13:20You focus on your job!
13:21Me here!
13:32No!
13:40Shit!
13:42Ah!
13:43Nein!
13:45Ah!
13:46Ah!
14:05It's quite a landing, Bella Culver.
14:10Hey, look!
14:11Oh, no, no, no! The shoe's not opening!
14:14It's Sasha!
14:15No! No, no!
14:17Sasha!
14:19Quickly!
14:20Shit!
14:21Hurry!
14:27Sasha!
14:37At least I know you'll cry at my funeral.
14:41You're a piece of shit, Sasha!
14:43Oh, come on. That was funny.
14:45You should have seen all your faces.
14:48Ignore him.
14:48He's a child.
15:09What's happening?
15:23Are you sure Diana said it was her brother?
15:25Yeah. I checked it ten times since last night. She said she was going to see her brother Ivan before
15:30her launch.
15:33But she's never mentioned her brother before.
15:34So I checked on his name and there's an Ivan Akramatov who writes for the Syntaxis.
15:41The underground magazine?
15:42She must have withheld his name in order to qualify for the program.
15:46You must report this vehicle.
15:49Oh.
15:57Why have you brought me here?
15:59Tell me about your brother, Ivan.
16:02What about him?
16:04What do you know about his association with the Western imperialical Syntaxis?
16:08What are you talking about?
16:10What are you talking about?
16:11Ivan is dead.
16:12No, he's not.
16:21This is...
16:22This is absurd.
16:23Now you think just because you...
16:28You're not done.
16:30I have sacrificed everything for the cause of the Soviet people.
16:33You know nothing about what that means.
16:36We know you're working with the Americans.
16:38You think everyone is working for the Americans.
16:42You're not answering the question.
16:50Please, Lord, help me.
16:52Say what you said before.
16:55All right. All right.
16:57Five minutes.
16:59I have been breaking against the Soviet state.
17:09Please, please.
17:10Turn it off.
17:19This is a mistake.
17:21She didn't do this.
17:25I know you two are close, but she really...
17:28She is the best pilot I have.
17:30You can't do this now.
17:32Yana Akhmatova will not be the first woman on the moon.
17:35Moscow has already chosen her replacement.
17:39Who?
17:43Anastasia Belikova.
17:44Of course.
17:45Of course, they want a puppet.
17:47A more prudent choice for a mission of this importance.
17:50Akhmatova was too unpredictable.
17:52Well, she can't be ready in three days.
17:54Sigarin had three days.
17:55Belikova is no Gagarin.
17:57And this is more than a trip to Earth's orbit.
17:59Belikova's at his...
18:00She has been a party member since she was 18.
18:02A party member.
18:03Belikova.
18:03Her father is still the local commissar...
18:06Oh, her father.
18:06Yes, of course.
18:07None of which, Lyudmila, means that she can handle the dangers of going on a space flight
18:11with inadequate training.
18:13Which is why you will prepare her.
18:16Hmm?
18:24Come on, Belikova.
18:42Do you understand what we just told you?
18:45Yes.
18:47You'll need to start training with Valya Miranov immediately.
18:50I understand.
18:51I will not fail you.
18:56Tell me.
18:57Governor Belikova, why did you join the Cosmon of Thor?
19:00Hmm?
19:01To risk your life.
19:02To reach the cosmos.
19:03Why?
19:05For the glory of the Soviet Union chief designer.
19:08Excellent answer, comrade.
19:10You will be the first woman on the moon.
19:13A Soviet woman.
19:15You will be speaking to the entire world from the lunar surface about the greatness of the Soviet people.
19:22How will I know what to say?
19:24Most of the people at the Kremlin have crafted a speech for you.
19:28All you have to do is memorise the words.
19:35This mission must remain a secret until you successfully land on the moon.
19:38You must tell no one, not even your father.
19:40He will be notified only upon its completion.
19:45Your secrecy is parallel.
19:55Comrade.
19:56Comrade.
19:58Comrade.
19:59Comrade.
20:00Comrade.
20:00Comrade.
20:00Call Dr Worske.
20:01Tell no one.
20:08Air pressure 140 over a hundred.
20:11Pulse is still fast.
20:13Last year's operation may have saved your life, but there was straight away.
20:16The brain placed on your heart.
20:19If you don't limit your stress, it could cost you your life.
20:23I'll be back in the morning to run more tests.
20:25Can I speak to you, please?
20:43Look in here.
20:45I'm a Nazi.
20:48Paraded as a savior and here I am.
20:51Hiding.
20:52Again.
20:53Coward.
20:56Well, they destroy yet another life.
21:00What's happened?
21:03Yana Akhmatova.
21:08He's no longer undone as 16.
21:10I mean, she's...
21:13Confessed.
21:15They're saying she's the American mole.
21:19Is it true?
21:25Oh, I'm so sorry.
21:29The truth is they still don't trust me.
21:34You have given them so much.
21:36Yet they refuse my counsel.
21:38They deny my plans.
21:40And now...
21:41They come for one of my eagles.
21:48And I do nothing.
21:51Nothing.
21:54Nothing.
22:08No.
22:11No.
22:13No.
22:15No.
22:16No.
22:18No.
22:35Be careful.
22:36It's fine.
22:37We'll be at training all day.
22:39No, it's my neighbour, Siminova.
22:41She's got a big death at me, always poking around.
22:44But I'm like a mouse, slipping through the cracks.
22:47And you and my teeth.
22:50Shut up, Sasha.
23:10We're going to...
23:11Behind me.
23:12Let's do this.
23:20Let's do this.
23:26Come on.
23:27Go on.
23:36Come on.
23:38Come on.
23:39Come on.
23:41Come on.
23:42It's hot.
23:42No, it's hot.
23:43I can't help you.
23:46get a glass
23:48just give it a minute
23:50get a glass
23:51it's not funny

24:18I think of an accommodation for my work
24:23congratulations
24:23thank you for pushing me
24:25apparently after interrogation she
24:27gave a floor confession
24:30well, I'd better prepare
24:31for a meeting on the third floor
24:34operations directorate's asking me to sit in
24:41Lunar 16, prepare to run re-entry fail test 370
24:46Moscow, Lunar 16
24:48we detect a failure of the automatic sequence
24:51copy Lunar 16
24:53calculate time remaining to proceed with manual burn termination
24:58we're reading your rate of re-entry is too high
25:013 seconds remaining
25:02no, not yet
25:03no
25:11restart the sequence
25:12let's try again
25:14oh yeah, sorry
25:15don't apologize to me
25:20we both know you don't belong here
25:22you're not supposed to be here
25:25and the person who should be sitting in your seat
25:27is off to some labor camp somewhere
25:30don't ever say a name
25:31take her name out of your mouth
25:33you sit there and you stay quiet
25:35and you press the buttons I tell you to press
25:37when I tell you to press them
25:38we're going to try this again
25:40and then again
25:41and again
25:41and again
25:42and hopefully
25:43when we launch
25:43in two days
25:44you won't kill us both
25:46because this is real life
25:47do you understand?
25:50yes
25:51good
25:53Moscow, begin entry sequence
25:55copy Lunar 16
25:56preparing simulation again for re-entry
25:58fail test 370
26:15what are you doing with that?
26:22love you sunshine
26:23shut up
26:25should I start leaving you nuts?
26:29please don't
26:30shut up for training
26:31hey
26:33you're all so predictable
26:34oh come on
26:37you know I'd much rather be here with you
26:38than amongst those snakes
26:41have you heard what happened to Yana?
26:44before Valia left
26:44he wouldn't stop raging about it
26:48he was saying someone in her family was a dissident
26:52but Yana told me
26:54she hasn't talked to her family in years
26:56so how could she have talked to her brother?
27:00then why would they do this?
27:02she always spoke her mind
27:03they had to remove her
27:04because they couldn't control her
27:06so Yana never got the chance to fly
27:09so she was on the next mission
27:16and Valia?
27:18I really must go
27:41she hasn't talked to her family in years
27:43so how could she have talked to her brother?
27:49he said that Yana hasn't spoken to her family in years
27:53he would say that he's her friend
27:55yes
27:55but
27:56there is a chance she's innocent
28:03I know my conclusion was accurate
28:05Yana confessed
28:06she's the mole
28:07I'm sure it was accurate
28:08but perhaps it's worth looking into father
28:13he'd like that
28:14wouldn't he?
28:15like what?
28:17me having to retract my report
28:19and be humiliated in front of Colonel Rostova
28:21of course not
28:21that's not what I mean
28:22jealousy is the last thing I would have expected of you and Rina
28:24I'm just trying to make sure we have the right person
28:27as well let you know
28:57but if you want toanno
29:28What are you doing?
29:32Before his Vostok launch, Gagarin really needed a piss, so he just went on the back tyre.
29:38Now it's a condition.
29:43It's to splash against the tyre.
29:46The terminal antenna did it.
29:57He's got a cove, I want you to do it.
29:59He's got her arse out.
30:03Shut up, man.
30:03Let's do that.
