Flew too close to the sun.
Just as you're about to.
Where are the others? Are they dead?

(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...

Sometimes, during a solar storm,
these almost-identical realities
seem to graze each other,
to touch.
To merge.

It's time to go back now.

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.

(ANNA CHUCKLES) Um, yeah.

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)
It's OK.
She's breathing too fast.
(ALARMS BLARE)
It's OK. I'm on course.

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.

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?

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 knew...the risk he was taking.

We're opening Quest for evacuation.

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.
