Original subtitles

(Simonov, via radio) -Guys, how are you holding up?

(Oleg) -Working.

(Peter) -All good.

-Great. Peter, can you take pictures of the MLM and PHO?

-Yes, of course.

-Oleg, how are you doing?

(Oleg) -I'm working.

Just finished unlocking the last lock.

-Acknowledged. Conduct a visual inspection of the anchor points.

-Acknowledged.

-I've taken the pictures.

Waiting for further instructions.

(Simonov) -Thank you.

Can you start the transportation? -Yes.

The radiator is fixed.

The last lock is open.

Sing, let's lift. -Agreed.

(Simonov) -Peter, the pitch rise should not be more than 2-3 revolutions per second.

After lifting to 15 degrees proceed to move the boom.

-Carrying out.

(Oleg) -Quite a ride.

(Peter) -Oleg, this is your reward for the torture.

Few can boast that they rode on the boom.

-That's for sure.

(Simonov) -MCC hears everything.

-MCC always hears everything.

-When did this become known?

Is there a chance of entering the red corridor?

Minimum approach distance?

At what time will the maximum approach occur?

Understood.

Konstantin Andreyevich, ASPoS has called. The rocket stage hit an old satellite.

Soon the debris will collide with the station.

-Raising orbit.

-How much time for emergency departure? -Two minutes.

-They won't have time to return.

-Oleg, Petya, can you hear me?

-I hear you. -Yes, I hear you.

-Satellite debris is heading your way. We'll be performing an evasion maneuver.

-Acknowledged. -Understood.

-In 1.5 minutes we'll give a thrust to raise the station's orbit.

You won't make it back in time.

Oleg, try to reach Petya, secure yourself there.

-Understood.

-For a turn to the specified orientation. -Affirmative. MCP from Regul-2 session...

-Petya, fold up the boom. -Accepted.

(operator) -Selected. Command is set.

-50 seconds until the thrust!

-45 seconds. Oleg, you won't make it to Peter in time.

Lock yourself onto the main part of the arrow.

Oleg, do you copy?

-I'll be there soon.

(tense music)

-15 seconds to impulse. -Impulse in 10 seconds.

Oleg, are you secured?

Oleg, do you understand? -I secured one line.

The second one is left.

-Oleg, quickly secure the second line.

-We need to pulse, otherwise collision.

-Do it.

-Petya, stop the crane motion.

(shouting)

-Stopped.

(impact)

(impact)

(Volin) -Oleg, do you hear me?

(heavy breathing)

Oleg!

Oleg!

(alarm clock ringing)

-Ah, damn...

Manya, damn!

Mash! Mash, are you almost ready? I overslept.

Manya!

Marusya.

Shoot.

What's up? Can't you hear? Hurry up!

-I'm running late too! -I'm saying, I overslept!

-Such a mess, mom! -Mixed up the hours.

Manya, please make some coffee. -Uh huh.

-What's wrong with it? I fixed it.

-After that, I fixed it again. It needs to be replaced.

-Manya, where are all the bras? I can't find a single one.

Where are they all? -On.

-Whose is this? -Mine. Yours are all in the wash.

-Where do you get such immodest bras from?

-Grandma gave it to me. -Grandma?

-I love you too. (text message alert)

-Why am I being called to school? -Huh?

-I have three surgeries today. -Oh, forget it.

(coughing)

-He has a tension pneumothorax.

Drainage is needed. -What does that mean?

-We need to let the air out of the pleural cavity, otherwise he won't survive.

-We need to see what's in the kit.

-Are we preparing for an emergency descent?

Prep for emergency descent. -You can see, he can't breathe.

Without urgent surgery he's going to die right now.

-Then intervene. -We have a protocol.

If he dies during this operation, we'll all face charges.

-Proceed. -Understood.

(Oleg's wheezing)

(doctors) -We have little suitable for such a surgery in our kit.

-There is a mini-tracheostomy kit. We need to install an expander.

-But where exactly do we place it? -We know exactly what to do, don't we?

-We have never encountered such cases in our practice.

On Earth, air in the chest cavity rises up,

but where it is in zero gravity, it's hard to say.

-But this is air, it has to come out one way or another.

-Peter, prepare a set for a mini-tracheostomy,

a drainage tube, a clamp...

wipes, plaster.

We're about to make an incision in the chest.

-We need to anesthetize. -There's no Novocain.

-Anesthetic gel won't help. -Why don't you have anything?

-Sorry, but we send healthy astronauts after triple check,

and this situation is abnormal. -I got it.

-Pete, disinfect your hands. Act quickly and carefully.

-Roger that. -Get the disinfecting wipe.

(Oleg's wheezing)

-He's gasping. -Calm down.

Treat the skin under the right clavicle, properly.

Open the kit.

Put on the gloves.

(Zhenya) -It seems all right.

Like this? -Lower. A little lower. Good.

Evgenia Vladimirovna, close the mini-access, set the drains.

(steady signals of a cardiogram)

-Vladislav Nikolaevich. -Yes?

-Can you release me earlier? I need to run.

-What happened, Zhenya? -They’re calling me to Masha's school.

-Some problem? -I don't know.

-Pass my greetings. -Fine.

Scissors.

-Fine. We'll close ourselves. Thank you. You're free, Yevgenia Vladimirovna.

(frequent signals) -Olya, introduce amiodarone!

-What do we have there?

-Rhythm disturbance, extrasystole. Olya, introduce more.

-Go on, Tanya, you're a magician, you will manage.

-Not succeeding yet. And the pressure doesn't hold. One second.

Fibrillation. Asystole! Indirect heart massage.

Olya, introduce 1 milligram of atropine, 1 ampoule of adrenaline.

(Peter) -He's suffocating!

-Oleg, hold on a minute. You'll feel better soon.

Petya, retreat from the collarbone two fingers down.

Feel the pit. Fix this place.

-It's here.

-Now take the scalpel.

No, not like that. Remember how you were taught to apply a tracheostomy on Earth.

Not like a knife, like a pen.

Well done. Now you need to make an incision at this location.

Approximately one centimeter.

You will feel the air coming out.

-What is the rhythm? -No rhythm.

Turn him on his back. -No, why? There is support from the back.

Did the rhythm appear? -No rhythm!

Administer norepinephrine. Increase the infusion.

-Has the rhythm appeared? -The rhythm hasn't appeared. Continue the massage.

-It's not working out. What are we going to do?

-Maybe defibrillation? -Faster.

-With a stopped heart? The stitches will pop.

-Continue indirect massage? -It's not working. Think!

-Petya, we don't have time to think.

-Petya, a well-tied girl has no need for caresses.

Yes, Oleg?

Hang on.

-Faster! -Ok, direct heart massage.

Enlarge the mini-access. Open up.

More and more, my hand won't fit in.

-I can't anymore. -Mine will fit.

One, two, three, four...

(Oleg wheezes)

-I'm cutting.

(screams)

-Well done.

Now insert the expander - into the incision. Right up to your ears.

(Zhenya) -One, two...

-It won't start. -One, two, three, four.

-Do you hear the hissing? -Yes, I hear it.

-Remove the stiletto.

-One, two, three... -Got it!

Sinus rhythm. It's started.

-Thank God.

Great, Yevgenia Vladimirovna, thank you.

We'll close up ourselves. You're free to go.

What's our blood pressure? -A bit low, we'll raise it now.

-How are you feeling, Oleg?

-I can breathe.

-He has a closed chest injury with damage to the right lung.

-Descent? -Not sure.

We need to consult with specialists on this part.

(doctor) -Take the tube, insert it in the hole

And fix it with a band-aid.

Now take the scissors and gloves, cut the finger by three centimeters...

(fabric crackling)

-Such horror.

Have you lost your mind?

-I lost my mind? It's you who ruined the birth for me.

-What birth? -I was giving birth to a surgeon.

But it didn't work out.

-The person almost died there.

-But didn't die.

And didn't get born.

-Sorry.

-Here's Masha's mother. -Hello, sorry, please.

-Hello.

-Evgenia. -Vitaliy Alexandrovich.

The juvenile affairs inspector. -Come with me.

-What happened?

-Yesterday your daughter hit Oxana Semyonova in the eye.

The father filed a statement to the police.

Here is the statement and the medical examination conclusion.

-Masha is at school right now, we can discuss this with her.

-Masha is in class. Should I call her?

-Your conversation will not solve the situation. You can talk later.

-And what will solve it?

-The case is complicated by the fact that Oksana's father is the prosecutor of our district.

And he intends to punish to the full extent.

At best, your daughter will be charged under Article 6.1.1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation "Assault".

This is an administrative offense.

-In the worst case?

-In the worst case - the Criminal Code. Article 111.

Therefore, I recommend that you solve this issue with him personally.

-And also, Masha and her Timofeev from the parallel class

also worry me a lot.

-Who is Timofeev? -Are you not aware?

Do you even control her sexual life?

(school break bell)

-What? What sex life?

-I understand, it's not easy to raise a child alone, with your job.

But you might lose her, understand?

The age is critical. Talk to her.

-Masha!

What? Why did you hit Semyonova in the eye? -She deserved it.

-Do you know that they filed a police report against you?

You will not get into any university. -Screw it.

-You will go to vocational school!

Oksan, hello. How are you?

Can I take a look? Does it hurt? -I don't need it.

Take care of your crazy daughter.

-The doctor prescribed you medication. Did you take two courses?

Mom!

Let me transfer you some money,

you can buy your medicine, and take them as directed.

Are you sure you can only do an upper lobectomy?

What if there is a growth in the lower-lobe bronchus? -We are prepared for that.

I warned the patient.

-Will he make it on the right lung? -He will.

Lisa, my star!

-I'm Katya. -Can you fill it out? I'm really swamped.

-Vladislav Nikolaevich, I can't. -I'll dictate it over the phone.

We'll do some training. What else can we do?

-Maybe the guard at the checkpoint will fill out the documents for you?

-Good thought. I need another assistant.

-Half of the hospital staff are your assistants.

By the way, it was the same at the institute. -It was not.

-I remember your instructive speeches to the freshmen.

-They were third-year students.

-Alright, Nikolaev, you understood everything.

-Maybe I'll talk to Borysych, get you an assistant too?

He would take some load off you. You could spend more time with Masha,

give yourself some time... -Have you lost your mind, Nikolaev?

Are you hinting that I spend little time with my daughter?

-No... -Go to hell!

Do you fancy yourself a Superman with a lute? Are you going to teach me about life?

-Evgenia Vladimirovna,

Valentin Borisovich is calling you. -I'm coming.

Can you manage without me?

-What kind of lute does Superman have?

-Valentin Borisovich, it's me, hello. -Excellent.

-You called? -I did.

Come with me. -Where to?

-To Roscosmos. -Why?

-Something happened in space.

-I can't, I have a surgery. -Vasya will cover for you.

-Valentin Borisovich, I can't go. I ripped my pants. How can I go like this?

-Alright. Let's go, let's go.

-Do rockets take off into space right from here?

-Rockets take off from Baikonur and the East. You're funny.

-Yeah, I know. Just kidding.

-Tell me,

what kind of load do astronauts experience during landing?

-Approximately 4 times in a standard descent.

-Now imagine.

You have one lung not working, a broken rib, a hole in the chest from drainage.

And all this is getting hit hard in the chest.

-Nevertheless, the astronaut says he's ready for descent.

-He's in a lot of pain right now, whatever he tells you.

At least we need to wait for the edges to consolidate.

-How long will this process take?

-It's not that simple, unfortunately.

We need the acute pain phase to pass,

observe the dynamics for a few days, then we can give a more precise estimate.

But there is a risk of inflammation starting.

-Can you specify what is the probability,

that the astronaut will die during descent?

-Without surgery - one hundred percent.

-Excuse me, who are you?

-Evgeniya Belyaeva, thoracic surgeon. -Sorry, did not introduce. Our employee.

-He won't make it to Earth.

With such overloads he will die from shock.

-We can't just leave Bogdanov

to die in orbit.

-That's why he needs surgery.

But what to do - it's up to you.

-We'll decide today.

Valentin Borisovich, tell me, is the operation complex?

-Of medium complexity. In principle, any of my students could do it.

But on Earth.

In the operating room, with anesthesiologists, assistants.

A team of six people in total.

-Can it be done in space?

-In zero gravity, without attraction? Hard to say.

There are too many unknown factors in space.

There's a chance.

-How much time do we have?

-Two or three weeks. A month at most.

And I understand that the entire surgical team can't be sent there?

-At best, one doctor.

(Zhena) -Hello, I'm Evgenia, I'm Masha's mom.

I was informed that a conflict occurred between our girls.

I'm very uncomfortable and ashamed of my daughter's behavior.

-And what do you want?

-To resolve this peacefully. Not to take this to court.

-What do you mean? -I would like to apologize to you.

-Well, apologize.

-Please forgive me, it won't happen again.

I'll keep an eye on it myself.

-Okay.

-Thank you.

No trial then?

-What do you mean no trial?

You thought you'd apologize and that's it?

Was there an act of assault? There was.

So, we will decide.

And act within the legal field.

-Dad, I want to start with the Room of Fear. -You screamed there last time.

Maybe we should start with something else? -Yes, but I still want to.

I also want popcorn, sweet, a big bucket.

-But you'll spill it in the Room of Fear.

These earrings really suit you.

-Earrings from Sergey? I like them too.

-I've been thinking - maybe we can tighten our belts a bit and change the car in seven or eight months?

A newer "Ford", for example? What do you say?

(heart beating rapidly)

(doors opening)

-You can't drink coffee.

-Kostya, let's decide already.

I would have taken the risk and sent him down.

-You heard - he wouldn't make it.

There will be no miracle.

-Death during descent is an accident.

Death at the station -

it's the prosecutor's office.

-Didn't they conduct serious medical experiments in zero gravity?

-They did.

They cut off a rat's tail. Or half of it, I can't remember exactly.

-Successful? -Do you want me to check?

-Check it out.

(door noise)

-Listen, I got it wrong.

She's not on duty today.

Hide!

Hello.

-Well, hello.

What's happening?

Whose skate is this? -They allowed a ride.

-Did you fight over a guy?

-How do you know? -Principal snitched. Manya!

Is it something serious between you guys?

-Kind of... -I'm asking you, was there something?

-There was nothing. -Nothing?

There was not and there will not be. -Mom, but I love him!

Do not look at the fact he's little. He has started to grow rapidly.

He was even smaller.

(telephone ringing)

-Yes? -Valentin Borisovich?

This is Volin from Roscosmos.

-Yes, I'm listening.

-Sorry for calling so late. I have one question.

When will you be able to provide people, ready to fly and operate in space?

-I'm ready to fly. Nothing holds me on this earth.

-You won't pass the medical examination.

We need younger ones, with health.

-Well, I understand. I'll talk to the boys tomorrow.

-See you tomorrow.

-Does nothing hold you back at all?

-It does, of course, but see - they're offering to fly into space.

-To Mars, I hope? -Let's go to bed.

-Do you want a third Hero Star?

Is this the question?

Want to be buried in the Kremlin wall?

Next to Gagarin, right?

-Write the order.

-Shall we leave it for tomorrow morning? Morning is wiser.

-I need the order in all departments by morning.

- Well, how am I supposed to prepare him? There are no helpers. It's night outside.

- Write it yourself.

(noise of the front door)

- To perform an operation - where there is no gravity!

- Sign with today's date. -You'd even start a surgery underwater.

- It used to be impossible to fly into space too.

The queen was taken for a madwoman.

Everyone laughed at her.

And in the end, what?

We still fly on her ships.

-"Assigned as responsible

Volin K. A."

And if your adventure does not work out,

what will you do? Shoot yourself from a personalized gun?

-Sign it.

-You love to get into bullets, Kostya.

-You know, Igor.

If I could help in any way, I would have gone myself.

-Connect me to the president.

-Well, guys, smells like a Hero of Russia?

-I wanted to be an astronaut since childhood. Now, should I try?

-Rostislavych, excuse me, but there is an age limit there.

-Excuse me, but go to hell.

-What kind of space? Some kind of a scam.

-No, it's serious there. But how are they going to solve it?

-So, colleagues, what kind of symposium do we have here?

Are you ready? -Ready. -You?

-I have Marusya. She's about to give birth.

-It's not you who's giving birth. -I wanted to be present.

-I assure you, nothing interesting.

We'll put Marusya on conservatory, everything will be fine.

-Isn't the anesthesiologist supposed to fly? -The surgeon should.

-How to perform an operation without an anesthesiologist?

-They are resourceful guys, they will think of something.

Are you also planning to fly? -Me? No.

I have problems over the roof on Earth. -What kind of problems?

-My classmate Mashka gave her a black eye, her daddy filed a police report.

-And who is our daddy? -The prosecutor.

Did you want me to fly? -No, I want you to

went to the space center and got involved in the development of operation in zero gravity,

while the guys are undergoing a medical examination. -I can't.

I'm about to be in court...

-Just text me the full name and phone number of this prosecutor. You get ready.

And, colleagues, please:

This is a secret business - only to the closest relatives, no one else.

-Are you looking for this?

-I'm sorry. -It's okay, leave it.

-What would I do without you?

-Everything is fine.

Can I help with anything else?

Do you want me to punch this prosecutor in the face?

-If anything, I'll say so.

-Why don't you say where you're going?

-What I'm not saying? -Well.

-So, let's go.

Write: "Non-disclosure agreement".

What? You ask - why, where.

Write. But bear in mind: Disclosure of the state secret

is pursued by law.

-Why a subscription? I'm your mother. -Mum, they took the same from me.

-Whose name should I write to?

-In whose name?

Write to the president.

So, Manunya...

So, this, by the way, to take.

Make sure grandma doesn't forget to take her meds.

-Yes-yes.

-See in the kitchen right away, where they are.

-Wait with the medicines. Feel my pulse.

Lately, something's not quite right with my pulse.

-Hold on, let's go. What's the pulse?

-Mom, are you going like this?

-What do you have there?

-Mom! -You got smudged with mascara.

-Normal pulse. -Threadlike.

-In.

Here, mom, put this on.

-I won't go in such a dressy. I love you.

Mum! Don't worry. -Let's do it.

-Mom, there will be a bunch of guys - doctors and astronauts.

-Astronauts?

Zhen, in my youth I was in love with Dzhanibekov.

Need to change clothes.

-Constantine Andreevich, I have a personal question for you.

Do you have any connections in the prosecutor's office?

-Yes. What happened?

-Well...

Nothing happened, but it could happen.

-Will the Attorney General suffice? -The Attorney General will suffice.

-Time flies like crazy!

I'll send it to mom now, she'll be so happy. -Yes, that's all...

17 years, dude!

-For space, of course, it's nonsense, but still.

Zhenya, hello! -Rafik! Hello!

In such a suit. -Yes!

-How's Krasnodar? -It misses you.

When will you arrive? -As soon as we return from space, straight to you.

-Do they send to space from here?

-Dear candidates, please come in.

-Are you hungover? -How do you always tell?

-There seem to be a lot of candidates. I thought I was the only one called in.

Something doesn't catch the connection. -Only "Megafon" catches here.

-So, what do we have. Closed chest injury,

rib fracture with right lung injury

and as a result - pneumothorax and possibly hemothorax.

Please, your questions.

-Anything could be there.

Without x-rays, you can't see the full picture. -Is there an x-ray on the ISS?

-No, there's no X-ray on the ISS. Nor CT, unfortunately.

-How do we determine how many ribs are broken? What is the structure of the chest cage?

-These pictures hardly make anything clear.

-Is he still running a temperature? -It fluctuates between 37.9 and 38.5.

-Where does hyperthermia come from? -Maybe blood is lysing,

or maybe, empyema is starting.

-Then what is this? What about here and here?

-This could easily be an ultrasound error. -Or a collapsed hemothorax.

-This is weightlessness, ultrasounds can't detect anything.

-These are blood clots. They can behave like this in weightlessness.

-And how many blood clots have you seen in the pleural cavity?

-We assume. -On Earth, the liquid would have accumulated at the bottom.

In zero gravity, even organs can shift, along with blood and fluids. And then, where is up?

-He was thrown back so hard, why didn't the spacesuit rupture?

-It's very difficult to puncture a spacesuit, it's like armor.

-I'd like to know, was there such a shock...

or like this?

-Oleg, how are you feeling?

- I'm feeling better.

-Oleg, there are seven surgeons next to me, who have volunteered to fly to the station.

-You're serious?

Are you going to operate on me here?

-We'll see if you behave yourself.

In general, they have questions for you. OK?

Please, start.

-Oleg Viktorovich, hello.

-Valentin Borisovich, like this, please.

-Oleg Viktorovich, hello.

I'm Verchinin Valentin Borisovich, the chief surgeon of the thoracic center.

We are interested in the mechanism of injury.

Could you... -I'm fine.

-You feel like you're okay.

But, judging by the pictures and analysis we have, that's not the case.

-Listen, Kostya.

Let me down.

Don't change anything.

-Skin is pale. -Sweating.

-You just won't make it.

-To put it simply, it is like this.

-You're there, I'm here.

I'm okay.

Why do you decide everything for me?

(coughs heavily)

-Tell me, does the family know about his condition?

-We decided not to tell for now.

-One of you will fly to the ISS - International Space Station.

The ISS is the most technically complex object ever created by mankind.

And, by the way, it's currently the most expensive in the world. Its cost is 150 billion dollars.

This is a training layout of the Russian part of the ISS.

The same thing, just without gravity.

The cargo module is on the left.

To the right is the laboratory module, brand new. Recently sent to the station.

In front of you is a docking node.

This is where astronauts practice what they will be doing at the station.

And you guys, the same lies ahead.

Here, by the way - Anton Nikolaevich.

Anton Shkaplerov, astronaut, hero of Russia.

Anton Nikolaevich will show how the service module is arranged.

Which buttons can be pressed, which ones can't.

What you can touch, what is better not to touch.

Take into account, we won't be able to send the entire operation with you, only the most necessary.

Wait here, let the candidates look around.

It's tight there.

-This is the most spacious module of the Russian segment.

-Is this the most spacious one? -Yes.

The other modules are smaller in size and are loaded with cargo.

In this module, astronauts rest in cabins.

They exercise on the treadmill. They eat at this table.

This is the heart of the ISS. Control is carried out from here

and control of all systems.

-Is this the toilet?

-Yes. -And how does it work?

Is it true that pee is recycled into water?

We need to discuss all these issues on Earth.

-The toilet works on a vacuum principle.

And the conversion from urine to water - that's on the American segment.

-Thank God.

-Hello. -Hello.

Here is everything you asked for. -Excellent.

-This is a hyperbaric chamber. We simulate ascent to an altitude of 20,000 meters on it.

With it we test the body's tolerance to hypoxia - mountain sickness.

Four thousand.

-Here we have water. The heating element.

-Four five hundred.

-You can secure it here, but it's probably dangerous?

-There's the central post. -Then where can we secure the patient,

For a firm fit? -The firmest fit is a stationary bicycle.

- And where is he? - Right beneath you.

-Let's take a look.

- That's all, thank you very much. - Thank you.

-Five thousand. -How are you feeling?

-Five five hundred.

-We need a plane,

on which you can place a patient, fix it,

and so that the doctor can also fit.

-Six thousand. -Did you see Gagarin?

-No, I haven't seen him. -Everyone says I look like him. Let's go!

-Six five hundred. -You can try the floor, you can try the ceiling.

It's not crucial for space.

-Seven thousand.

-So it turns out, the doctor should be upside down?

-Eight five hundred.

-No, that's too extreme a variant. Let's try on the table.

Head here, face to me, legs in this direction.

Feet are hanging. He is very short.

-Yes legs are not a problem. There's no gravity there.

- Yes, but the doctor needs a strong fixture.

-We will figure something out. -Nine thousand.

-Come on! -Nine five hundred.

-Everything is great. -Ten thousand. Plateau.

-Stop, it's breaking my bones.

-Descent at 20 meters per second. -Understood.

-Rafik has been found to be overweight.

Please do an abdominal cavity analysis for him.

-Whether you pull in or not,

If you don't lose five kilograms - you won't fly to space.

-Raf! -Hello, lovely ladies.

-Listen,

Are you not together with Zhenya?

And how so? Haven't you got together over so many years?

-It's complicated there.

- You are in front of the "Soyuz" spacecraft simulator.

Here only the living quarters and the descent vehicle are presented.

In the first one, astronauts rest,

In the descent vehicle, they work and return to Earth.

The duration of autonomous flight is 5 days, you, however, will get to the station in 3 hours.

- Surgical gown and gloves will be needed.

Could we store it here? Is everything about the same there?

-Take note, you'll be flying in the right seat,

your medical equipment will fly in the left.

-I think the right seat seems a bit tighter than the left.

Can't we just... - No, we can't.

-It's fine with me.

-Too much. -It's clothing!

-Mostly, the station is draped in fabric.

Velcro - in your opinion, is a hook and loop fastener.

And this response part

we can stick it right on the device, like a tape.

As it will not weigh anything, it will be located anywhere.

-And will it hold? -Yes.

-So, you have some problem with your eyes here.

There's a cataract ripening there.

- The first Armenian astronaut. - What do you think about that, Elon Musk?

-How much does a spacesuit cost? -Nine.

-Thousands of dollars? -Millions of rubles.

-How much do the gloves cost? -The gloves only come with the spacesuit.

(message) -Zhenya, look. The suit fits.

-It suits you. -Thank you.

Have you finished everything? -Everything. Eye pressure.

-Hypoxia kind of. -Good luck, guys.

-Good luck. Rafik, good luck in space. -Thanks, guys.

If you're in Krasnodar, call. -Definitely. Goodbye.

-Hello. -How are you?

-Thanks. I'm thinking.

What's the point of securing a surgeon.

The patient is fastened head there, face to me.

Secured with belts, hung the monitor,

I hung up the tools.

What are you thinking?

Feels like the usual sensations, right?

-It's a bit cramped.

What if I stand there?

Well, there are more places now. And the image needs to be displayed on this monitor.

-Then the doctor won't be able to see the patient's face. -It's more convenient for me this way.

-I adore you, Nikolaev, for your confidence.

You are not yet approved. -They will approve.

-Have you prepared a Nobel speech? -Prepared.

You think, they might not give if everything works out?

-I think Sergey would be proud of you.

My pencil! It's the only one I have.

Nikolaev, you're a magician too.

Okay, the patient is understood.

What are we going to secure you to?

-To the floor.

-I see.

(music inserts)

-Russian astronaut Oleg Bogdanov,

Record holder for cumulative time in space - 914 days.

Hero of the Russian Federation.

Happily married, he spends his time between flights raising a daughter.

-That's how we fly here, on the vacuum cleaner.

(Zhenya) -You better solve this problem for me.

Borya had three apples, and Yana had four.

-What about Sergey?

-Not at all.

-Seryozha had some too. How many apples did they have together?

-Nine.

-Nine? -How many?

-Seven. -So nine or seven?

-Seven. Nine. Seven. Nine. Seven.

-I love you.

-Maria! -Yes.

(phone ringing) -Yes?

What's there?

Understood.

Okay, fine, I will.

The hospital called, we need to go back. -Can you at least walk for an hour?

-Sergei! -We'll go later.

-What are you doing? It's urgent.

Marusya, popcorn's on me.

You want - two. -Okay.

-Sergey, can you hurry up? Really need to.

-Also found illegal withholding of income tax

A clinic chief physician with employee bonuses.

(phone ringing)

-I'm listening.

It's me.

(energetic music)

-This is a test of your vestibular apparatus.

You're about to be scrutinized.

You should sit with your eyes closed, tilting your head from side to side,

Imagining yourself on the rides. You like riding on the rides, don't you?

-No. -The temperature is still holding.

Antibiotics are not working.

-Then, the immediate question: how much time do we have.

-The main thing is that an irreversible inflammation process doesn't start.

-How to stretch it? The flight is in two weeks.

-He's stubborn. He'll pull through.

-You see, there's so much care in life, various anxieties, stress.

Wife's pregnant. Dollar exchange rate, again.

I live this every day. I absolutely don't need,

to spin me on rides until I black out. Understand?

-Understand.

-You can't turn around here. How to operate here?

Alright. What access do we have? How many ports are we going to install? One, three?

-How do you feel?

-You have to work as usual, from three. We set up the camera at one, we work ourselves from two,

-Let's do you know what? We'll put the tool on it.

They don't weigh anything there, right? -I'd lower it a little.

- Then place the injector where the instrument is.

-Maybe we should go through one port after all? Fewer accesses - less risk of bleeding.

-Vasily, how are you feeling? -I feel nauseous.

-If necessary, I will do it through one.

-And how do you plan to dilute hemothorax through one port?

-I'm saying, if needed. Why make unnecessary incisions?

I'm well charged!

-I won't be in town on the weekend. I won't be able to attend your wedding.

No-no, I can't tell you.

Listen, I signed the paper.

-How are you feeling? -Normal.

-How are you?

-Like being hungover on a roller coaster. In short, Russians are used to it.

-Well, then I too.

My ex-wife and I drank so much of each other's blood,

that now I'm also half Russian.

I've paraphrased Dovlatov.

-Colleagues, set one port under local anesthesia,

insert the camera and look.

If necessary, you administer anesthesia and set up as many ports as you need.

-Is the height okay with you? -The table could have been lower...

-How tall are you? -73.

Ah, 78.

There's no duty free there, listen!

We have two hands each, who's going to hold the camera?

Who's ventilating the lungs?

-How are you feeling? -I feel dizzy.

Listen, I can't speak now. Later you will all be proud of me.

Yes, I'll come later and we'll celebrate. - Is that all?

-How are you feeling? -Not very good. Can we stop, please?

Four out of five.

-The astronaut Peter will be on the ventilation,

And on camera - the astronaut who will fly, Anton.

-I wouldn't trust. -What are the options?

Look, Anton. This is our patient's chest.

Make the first incision - here.

We set the port.

This will be the main access for work.

If necessary, we make two more cuts: here and here.

Also setting the ports.

As a result there are three accesses. Three ports.

We'll put a camera here, that you, Anton, will hold.

In the other two - the tools that the surgeon uses.

To have direct access to the lung, we spread the ribs

and get direct access to the lung.

I think I got carried away. -No-no.

Everything is very clear.

-Tell me, is it true that Oleg holds the record

About staying in open space?

-Yes. He's a legend. Inspired many guys to become astronauts.

But sometimes he behaves like a small child.

-You eat. Bon Appetite. -Thanks.

You keep destroying your chicken too.

-In zero gravity, most of your muscles will not be engaged. You have to get used to this.

The simplest movements, ones that you don't pay attention to on Earth,

In zero gravity, you can get injuries.

Blood circulation will be disrupted.

Due to the absence of gravity, it will feel like you're upside down.

This will affect your ability to orient in space.

In space, it might take you several days, or even a week, to learn how to move.

Now you will have 10 times for 25 seconds each to somewhat understand,

what is weightlessness and how to act in it.

-Let’s go!

-Mode!

Five seconds.

Ten seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

Twenty seconds.

We're finishing up.

Urgent!

Five seconds.

Ten seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

Twenty seconds.

Wrapping up.

-Hello. -Hello.

I'm here for Evgenia Vladimirovna. -She's not at home.

-And you are her mother?

-Elder sister.

Come in.

Are you a pilot?

-Hello, I wanted to thank you for the help with the prosecutor.

-Um. Be careful.

-And I also need to agree on the idea with you

rigid surgeon's attachment feet to the floor like this.

-With the help of skis? -Yes. A moment.

Look. Here are these fixtures - and here respectively.

We remove the bindings from the skis and screw them to the floor at the station.

-No, we won't screw anything to the floor on the station.

-Well okay, there, well... -I understood the principle.

Try it on the plane. -Okay.

Hello!

Astronauts are trained for diving - so that if they fall into the water,

could you swim underwater? -Well, in general, yes.

-Everything has been thought out.

-Mode!

Five seconds.

Ten seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

Twenty seconds.

We're finishing up.

-We weren't taught this at the institute. -That's for sure.

-Engage!

We're finishing.

-Need more.

-Yes, guys, if this is actually how it's like in space,

then I'm not surprised why surgeries have not been done there yet.

-You can't remove an appendix there.

-We tell Borisyich that it didn't work out for us, let him die there?

-No-no, we should not do it this way. We think, we think.

-Are you sure you need to take ski boots into space.

-Good job guys, that's progress.

-What, out of seven candidates you're leaving me with two?

- Labyrinthopathy, hypoxia. The third one - vision. Will return blind.

-What about the girl who flew with us?

-What's wrong with her?

-Maybe you'll look after her?

-What are you trying to say, Mihalych?

-She's tough.

(Zhenya) -I have read, that you have done seven spacewalks.

Was it scary the first time?

(Oleg) -Gone.

-Okay, now down.

Going down, now from bottom to top. Like this.

-Of course, it's scary.

You come out of the hatch - and there's infinity.

-Well, besides fear, what else?

-I don't know.

You start to feel yourself.

Only you and the cosmos.

Words can't describe it, you have to live it. - One can only dream about such things.

Now, from the other side.

Oleg!

Oleg?

What actually bothers you?

-Besides looking alike.

for a glass of lemonade with a straw?

-It's funny.

But what if you're serious?

-I'd like to see,

when the daughter will go to the first grade.

It's uncomfortable in front of everyone because of this whole story.

Tell me, is the operation complicated?

-Medium difficulty.

But it's on Earth.

In space, it's experimental. Different laws, different rules.

But you know this better than me.

(coughs)

-End of communication session.

-Konstantin Andreevich,

his wife should know what's happening to him.

You understand, his close relatives should be with him right now,

for which he will hold on.

Our goal is for him to wait for the doctor.

Call the wife.

-Are you a psychologist?

-No, I'm a surgeon.

-I will deal with psychology. Okay?

-Sorry, I don't know much about astronauts,

but I understand my patients pretty well

And I know quite well what it is - to live, when you haven't finished talking to a person.

(sobs)

He has a daughter.

She's six years old.

(sighs)

-Lilies of the valley...

...Hello, bright May!

(Doctor) -4F. How are you feeling?

-Presented a big problem right under the nose...

-5 J. -You said it were lilies of the valley!

-6 ZH.

(laughs)

-It's smashing!

-8 G, site.

-Centrifuge stop.

-How are you feeling?

(coughs)

-Finally.

-The singer didn't pass.

(tense music)

(technician) -Starting the movement.

1 Female.

-1 F.

-Two. -2 ZH.

-3 Female. -3 Female.

-4 F. -4 F.

-Five. -5 Z.

How are you feeling?

-Good.

-Six. -6 F.

-Seven. -7 Z.

-8 Female, area.

-8 ZH, platform.

We're breathing with the stomach.

How are you feeling?

-Alright.

-End of the site, descent.

-We're finishing, Vladislav Nikolaevich, everything's fine.

You did well.

-Is that all?

I just started to enjoy.

-I thought so, he would pass.

I'll go.

(Technician) -Three.

Unit.

-How do you feel? -Yeah, I'm fine.

-Well, that's good.

- Want to go for a ride?

-Yes, cross. -Uhuh.

-Camera here.

The light bulbs are lit around the perimeter.

Definitely. Now we take off the earrings.

When light bulbs turn on...

Boys will give the tangent now.

-We're accelerating to three. -Accepted.

We're going at three.

Two units.

Three, platform.

-Hold three.

Evgenia Vladimirovna, how do you feel?

-My head got a little heavy.

That's fine.

(Violin) - Let's count to four.

(technician) -Acknowledged.

Four units.

(Volin) -How are you feeling, Evgenia Vladimirovna?

-Everything is fine.

-Let's try until six.

-She's about to lose consciousness now.

-We're going up to six.

Six, site.

-Did you do sports, Jenya?

-Played bully at school.

And beach volleyball.

-How is your breathing?

-It's hard.

But tolerable.

(Remembers) The hospital called.

-Maybe you will take a walk for an hour? We will go later?

-Seryozha, can you hurry up? I really need to.

-Stopping? -Evgenia Vladimirovna, is everything okay?

(Masha) -Mom!

(crying)

(Zhenya) -Masha!

-Mom!

Mom!

Mom...

-Sergey, Sergey! Help!

Help!

-Evgenia Vladimirovna, is everything okay?

-Yes, everything is fine.

- Add up to eight?

- No need, stop.

(technician) -Centrifuge stop.

-That's enough of a ride.

-While we are living peacefully here, you...

I want to tell you, that we're really looking forward to seeing you.

Summer is nearly here, and we still haven't decided where to go on vacation.

(thoughtful music)

-Well?

Have you thought through all the details?

-I think so, yes.

At least, everything that could be thought out on Earth.

-Great.

-Vlad!

Let me show you... -Why do people strive to go to space?

They spend their lives studying, flying.

Depriving themselves of a normal life on Earth.

In 60 years of flights

The man flew away from Earth only 400 kilometers away.

Did you know about this? -No.

-It's only halfway to Saint Petersburg.

Here on Earth, we can't figure out anything clearly,

we need to go to space.

We can't understand how two people can live in a two-room apartment,

but we're going into space.

What do you think,

why does a person need to go into space?

-Maybe because a person hopes to find answers in space, to questions,

he can't find answers to on Earth?

I don't know.

Remember our teacher?

He talked about the first man who decided to conquer Everest.

Nikolaev, do you remember or did you sleep after your clubs?

(Nikolaev) -You forgot in the centrifuge.

(Zhenya) -Well, what am I going to do without you.

-You'll manage.

-I only have one question.

Are you ready to go into space?

-Not right now, but it would have gone tomorrow.

-I wanted to tell you.

If he puts the commander there,

Don't listen to him.

Do as you need.

-And I'll tie him to the table using belts,

if anything.

-Evgenia Vladimirovna, it's time. -Yes.

-Godspeed.

-Thank you.

-Am I seeing you off to the plane? -Uh huh.

-Will you take Barsa with you?

-It's a tradition. I'll be back soon.

-Will you need to keep in touch with mom?

-If it's possible, I would like to. She has a heart, she can't be stressed.

-We will organize.

(camels roaring)

(tense music)

-Well, give me some too,

it's such a tradition.

-God's speed!

-They don't send random people into space.

So, it is necessary.

And you needed that.

You're an excellent surgeon.

I would have chosen you if I were in his place too.

And don't worry about Masha. I'll keep an eye on her.

- Mash, you're not sleeping? - Just woke up.

-Oh, they're launching rockets again.

Money is being spent.

It would be better to increase the pension. Or the scholarship for that matter.

Do you know how much your stipend will be? Three thousand a month.

Zhenechka needs to call.

(through the radio) -Launch management took over. First.

-Shutters are open. Everything is on at the parallel bars. Ready for launch.

-Evgenia Vladimirovna, your mother is calling.

Are you going to talk?

-Yes. Yes, let's do it.

-Zheng, hello! So, are you coming back?

Hello, Zhenya?

-No, mommy, I have another business trip coming up here.

-What business trip? Where to?

-What are you talking about? Oh, in Irkutsk.

-Why go to Irkutsk? -For two weeks.

I'm already on the plane, about to take off now.

-Again with the astronauts?

-No,

with divers.

-Understood.

Oh, listen, the prosecutor came by again.

He brought flowers. Only for me. Yes, he said they were for me.

He asked where you were. I didn't say anything.

Such an imposing man. I like him so much.

-Mom? -She is going to Irkutsk.

-Mom, is Bars with you? -Yes, he is with me. Hello, Mashul.

-Are you nervous? -Yes, a little.

I love you, bye. -Most importantly, don't worry.

You're not the first woman to fly to... To Irkutsk.

-Uh-huh.

-You're not telling me something.

-Mom has a weak heart. -Yes.

-Ignition.

Preliminary.

Intermediate.

HQ. Getting up.

-Let's go!

(chapter) -Well folks, congratulations! You're in orbit.

-Dim, come here.

-Eugenia Vladimirovna, how do you feel?

-She's feeling good. Smile.

(Anton) -MCC Moscow, I hear you well.

The crew is feeling good.

-Anton, start turning and go for the docking.

-Checked the ship's tightness on a 30-minute measurement.

No remarks, the ship is airtight.

(Anton) -Accepted.

(lyrical music)

57 meters range. Speed within limits.

The docking node is clean.

-Accepted. Everything is fine.

-I see a slight tilt to the left.

-Received.

- I'm seeing a little discord in pitching.

-Accepted. -Range 24 meters.

Range 7 meters. Awaiting touch.

-Accepted.

(Anton) -Awaiting touch.

-There is a touch. -There is a docking.

-Congratulations, guys.

(clapping)

(Anton) -There's a hitch. There's a mechanical connection.

Connection established. 06:12:55.

-Prepare for the transition to the station.

(Anton) -The "Baikonur - ISS" flight is over.

Get out, you'll stretch your legs.

Let me undress you.

-So, we won't even have tea?

-Some tea? Yeah better to drink at the station.

The toilet here is like this.

-Okay-okay, you convinced me.

Let's go without tea.

-Be careful.

(Peter) -Eugenia!

-Hello.

-Anton!

Welcome to the ISS. Make yourself at home.

-Great, sky dweller!

Cool, a cosmic house.

-And where is Bogdanov? -He flew with me.

Turn right at the intersection.

-It's cramped in here.

-Yes, it happens.

We wash here.

-Where is the shower? -It's a different principle here.

-Do you know what ISS stands for? -No.

-International space warehouse.

-We go straight.

We always go straight.

(Anton) -Great, buddy! How are you?

-Hello. -Hi.

-You see for yourself. -We need to unload the equipment.

I need an x-ray. -Let's go, we'll unload the ship.

-Hello. I'm Zhenya.

(Oleg coughs)

I'm very glad to see you.

(coughs)

Tell me, how long have you been so twisted?

-Four days already.

-I need to examine you.

-Listen, Anton.

X-ray, injector, drainage system.

I trust doctors, of course, but you saw Oleg.

Don't you think that under these conditions one doctor won't cope?

Even with all this equipment.

-But in the hot spots

Conditions are also so-so.

They've done rescues before.

Our task right now is to help her.

-And what's this?

-Part of the medical equipment.

(Oleg breathes hoarsely)

-I knew it would be you.

How do you find zero gravity?

Isn't your head spinning?

-Please be quiet.

Lie still.

Or what do you call it here?

Anton, I need to talk to the mission control center.

Could you send the images I took, back to Earth?

Can I talk someplace else?

(coughs)

(Volin) -Zhenya, how's Oleg?

-The lung damage is extensive, I will operate soon.

Pulling is dangerous. -Will you have time to prepare properly?

-Yes, they should. -How do you feel?

-Tolerable. I would like to talk to Valentin Borisovich.

-I'll connect you now.

-Yes, Zhenya! -Did you see the pictures?

-The ribs are in the stage of bone callus formation,

but there is pathological mobility.

-Valentin Borisovich, I'm scared. -Well, first of all, calm down.

Yeah, it's not as simple as it could be. Empyema.

-You don't understand, I can't move without banging into corners.

Not that cutting a man. -But we'll have to cut.

-There's nothing here.

Everything is flying.

-Did you want to see something else there?

-We'll have to drain the chest. If it comes to resuscitating him, then what?

-So, you'll be resuscitating. Not for the first time.

I'll be with you, don't worry. -Fine.

-You're already there, and that's the main thing.

Remember your first operation. And when were you more scared?

-Evgenia, we've made lunch.

Hungry?

-Lunch is, of course, good,

but let's prepare the module for the operation, okay?

(breathes heavily)

We need to thoroughly disinfect all surfaces.

Anton, this is a schematic for you. Right now.

(accelerated heartbeat)

Oleg!

We are going to check the temperature now.

I'll check your drainage later.

Just like that.

So, you'll manage the handle? Excellent.

We can still hold on here.

Well, excellent.

-Have you ever been three millimeters from death?

-Oleg, I understand that you're not cheerful,

but I will try to do everything that depends on me,

to put you at a relatively safe distance from death.

-We are all at such a distance.

By the way, you too.

-What are you talking about?

-The thickness of the station walls is about three millimeters.

Thin wall, right?

-Yes.

How can I not think about it now?

Could make it a bit thicker.

-Didn't have enough money for the thickness.

(Zhenya smiles)

-So, what's the temperature?

Here, excellent.

So, wait for me here,

I will go check, if the module is ready for operation.

-I see, Volin appointed you the crew commander and I wasn't informed?

-Oleg, I promised your wife that I would connect you if you wouldn't listen to me.

Got it?

(breathing heavily)

-Zhenya?

It's from the rocking. You need to rest.

Otherwise, it will be worse.

-Thank you.

-Follow me.

Climb in.

A hour of sleep here is like two on Earth.

If anything, we are nearby. -Uh huh.

-Straight, left, at the end of the corridor turn left again.

-Thank you.

(smooth music)

-Anton, you have the operation thoroughly thought out on Earth, right?

Everything in the smallest detail? -Don't worry.

I'll pass out for a couple of hours.

-I've never been in hotspots. -Don't be upset.

Programmers are also needed in space.

So you will devise a program for robots,

so they could perform surgery in space.

We have a robot, but no program.

(typing on the keys)

Write not now.

Later.

(smooth music)

-Mommy.

Where am I?

(majestic music)

(Oleg's cough)

(heavy coughing)

Oleg!

Oleg, can you hear me? Oleg!

Oleg!

Anton, Pyotr, wake up!

Bogdanov urgently to the service module.

Let's go.

We put him directly on the table.

Be careful.

Carefully.

Alright. Let's start packing.

Carefully. We turn around.

A little.

Like so.

Secure the legs.

Hand like this. Great.

We also secure the thighs.

Great.

What's up with the ECG?

We need to fix the electrodes.

Peter, keep an eye on the pressure.

Anton, monitor saturation.

-Saturation is 80. -Understood.

Anton, we need to let Earth know that I'm starting the operation.

- Moscow Mission Control Center, ISS on SG-1 channel. We urgently need a private communication channel.

And connect with Valentin Borisovich. (operator) -Accepted, we proceed.

-What about the pressure? -Pressure is 130 over 90.

-Clear. Anton, prepare the plaster and keep an eye on the cardiogram.

Oleg?

Can you hear me?

Oleg, can you hear me?

- I'm here.

-It's good that you're here. That's very good, well done.

Work with your knuckle.

That's it, great.

I'm going to put you under anesthesia now.

We'll meet after the operation.

Start counting out loud.

-What do we count?

-I don't know. Maybe you can read some favorite poem.

-"I found out that I have

There's a huge family.

And the trail, and the little forest,

Every ear of corn in the field.

River, the sky is blue -

This is all my kin.

This is my homeland.

I love everyone in the world".

-Konstantin Andreevich! -Yes?

-The operation has started.

Video link in three minutes.

-Have you informed the management? -Not yet.

-Report. -Alright.

-That's it, he's asleep. Peter, prepare to intubate.

Yeah.

Anton, hold this.

Just like that, excellent.

The pipe.

I see ligaments.

I'm going.

Preparing the Ambu bag.

Connecting,

Excellent.

Continue, Peter, we need to ventilate him.

So.

We turn off the right lung.

The right lung is disabled.

We're turning onto our left side.

Let's do it carefully. Like this.

Like this.

Peter, help me with the hand.

Fastening. Anton, prepare the suit.

Excellent.

We prepare the mounts.

Got contact. Need a second.

Ok. Ready.

We can start fixing it.

Peter, Anton, wear masks, gloves.

Should I prepare gloves too? We're getting ready to get covered.

(tense music)

Preparing to take cover.

We strengthen.

-ISS, respond to MCC Moscow in channel SG-1.

ISS, respond to the MCC in Moscow at the SG-1 channel.

(Zhenya) -Can you hear me? -We hear you well.

-Is Valentin Borisovich here?

- Yes, I'm here, Zhenya.

-Time is 3 hours 43 minutes, starting the operation.

-Godspeed, girl!

-Anton, thoracoscope.

Valentin Borisovich, do you see?

-I see. -Coiled hemothorax.

Blood clots remained and got infected. Empyema.

All light is completely unhitched.

-While an adverse scenario is unfolding.

But we assumed that.

-I'm setting up the second port.

(message signal)

Preparing to rinse.

Anton, hold the horizon.

-Hello. -Good night.

-Peter, the oxygen saturation?

(Peter) -70.

-Hello, Valentin Borisovich, let's go.

-The lower and middle lobes of the right lung have traces of ruptures.

Purulent layers.

Fibrin and hawsers.

-A dense deposit has formed on the lung, which prevents the lung from expanding.

- A pleurectomy with lung decortication is needed.

-Zhenya, how are you going to do it without wide access?

How are you going to get your hand in there?

-Valentin Borisovich, what are we doing?

-Well, under these conditions...

You've washed the pleural cavity -

and that's it, you won't do anything else there.

Drain and leave.

-What does that mean? Did we fail?

-Unfortunately, time worked against us.

A dense crust formed on the lung, which doesn't let it expand and breathe.

Almost no air gets into the lung, but the vessels are working.

It's like in a vacuum.

In order to completely clear the lungs,

On Earth, we would have cut the chest open and cleaned it by hand.

But in zero gravity, this is impossible.

From this moment, I believe that any of our actions

carry more risk for Oleg, than his descent to Earth.

Excuse me.

-We have to wrap up the operation.

And start preparing for descent.

-What's our time looking like?

-Descent with a landing at the regular range...

-What are you waiting for, Zhenya? -I can't finish the surgery,

The lung is not expanded. We need to figure out how to do decortication.

-The only way to decorticate a lung is thoracotomy.

In our case, conversion is impossible. - I know.

- I'm not a thoracic surgeon, after all.

-I'm thinking. I'll come up with something.

-Anton, prepare for an emergency descent.

-Got it.

(Zhenya) -Farcept!

-Zhenya, we have to execute an order from Earth.

-We can't just abandon him.

Peter, monitor the saturation and breathing.

Pharceprt!

Anton, take the camera.

(Peter) -Saturation is 69.

(Zhenya) -The clot is loose, it's fragmenting.

Just a moment. Right this second.

-Zhenya, you're wasting time.

-Evgenia Vladimirovna, we need to stop the operation and get ready for descent.

-He is not ready for the descent.

I can't just leave all this like that.

-Can you order her?

-Zhenya, understand, there's very little depending on us now.

-I have to remove the mooring and inflate the lung.

If everything turns out well,

he will return to Earth alive.

He won't make it that far. I see what he is.

-What if it doesn't turn out well?

You're in space. There's no chance for a redo.

Finish up.

-I take responsibility.

-Zhenya... Evgenia Vladimirovna! Here it's a collective responsibility.

Finish.

She'll prepare the patient, then you can bring him back to Earth.

It's safer anyway, than if they had sent it down at once.

There's a 20-25 percent chance he'll make it.

And then leave it to God.

-You know, Korolev was right.

Space is not for women.

(heartbeat)

(heartbeat accelerates)

(echoes of Masha's screams in the car after the accident)

-Mom! Mom!

(Zhenya, screaming) -Breathe!

Help! Help!

Breathe! Breathe!

-Mom!

(Sad music)

(message signal)

-How many doctors does she meet? -Five of us.

-Do we need an additional group? -Yes, and a resuscitation helicopter.

-Zhenya! Can you hear me?

I don't know how this could help you,

but Nikolaev asks you to remember,

how you were reaching for your pencil in the model.

-Is Nikolaev with us?

-Here he is texting: "Let Zhenya remember,

like how we got her a pencil in the mockup, rolled up between the panels.

(tense music)

-Yes. Thank you.

Is there wire at the station? -We will search for something now.

Petya, see what we have there.

-How long does it need to be? -Like this.

-I'm going to cut now.

-Anton, secure me.

Valentin Borisovich, I know, how to do the decoration.

-Well, how? -I'll make the tools myself.

Peter, give your spoon. We'll improvise.

-Valentin Borisovich, what's happening?

- She's making a tool out of handy materials, out of wire.

-Is your hospital also in such a mess?

-You don't have a hospital in space.

She's trying to save a patient's life in field conditions.

Does what he can. That's customary among doctors.

This, of course, is your decision,

I would have tried too if i were in her place.

-Do you understand what she's going to do?

-I think I understand.

-According to the emergency descent cyclegram

They should be in the ship in the spacesuits in an hour.

-Evgenia Vladimirovna.

Evgenia Vladimirovna.

-Don't make me ruin a man's life, when there's a chance not to do it.

-Evgenia Vladimirovna!

-Anton, hold this. -Evgenia Vladimirovna!

-Chance is small, I fully understand.

-Genya! -I'll do this.

I'll try to do it. I can't rob him of his chance!

We will disinfect now. -Genia!

-Can you not disturb me?

-Zhenya!

-Yes?

-Continue the operation.

(Zhenya) - I'm making the third access.

-Wait with the descent.

-Anton, you will need to hold the camera under my hands.

-Konstantin Andreievich, soothing. Have a drink.

(tense music)

- Hen, what do we do with the journalists at the landing?

-Good question. Keep them on a low leash, but don't tell a word to anyone.

We will report the results.

Or we won't notify. -Understood.

-Valera, how can we make it so...

So that astronauts' conversations during descent

Didn't Kazakh radio hams intercept it?

-Bring you a coffee? -Yes, thank you.

-Pyotr, eyes.

Valentin Borisovich, I hit a layer.

-Hello? -Well done.

Be careful. -Well done.

-The ice has moved.

-Valentin Borisovich, is this for a long time?

-Well, no less than an hour.

-Your coffee.

(thoughtful music)

-Well?

-Are you going to hit me?

-I have a thought like that.

-Come on, hit.

-Please tell me, what bad things did I do to you?

I almost got home.

They're telling me here - you've come up with something again.

Pour me some for courage.

I will be beating.

What kind of crappy cognac are you drinking? -It's been lying for a long time, it got spoiled.

-Eyes.

(phone ringing)

- Yes? - Konstantin Andreevich,

Belyaeva's mom is calling. Connect? -Connect.

Her mother has a heart condition, I promised to keep her informed.

-Evgenia, sorry to distract you, but your mother is calling.

Will you speak?

-Try not to talk here.

-Okay, connecting you.

(mom) -Zheng, are you awake?

I have a short question for you: do you have any collagen?

The one I brought with me has run out.

-No, mom, there isn't.

(Mom) -Ah! How are you there?

Do you even rest?

-Uh-huh. -Did you walk around the city already?

-Yes, a little. -Well, okay.

If you have time - be sure to go to Baikal.

So, I've prepared a list for you here, of what I need to bring.

-Yes, mom. -Listen.

So, first: sulfur. This is chewing resin of the Siberian larch,

strengthens teeth and gums.

-Uhuh. -Next. Omul roe.

This is literally the elixir of life. It supports heart function...

-Nastya, are you taking notes? -Uh-huh.

-Write it down, you'll have to get it.

(mom)-...boosts the brain's activity increases activeness,

supports the immune system, has a beneficial effect on the nervous system,

It eliminates bad cholesterol. -Right.

-And prevents plaque formation.

Buy three cans. -Uh-huh.

-No, better five.

So. Baikal herbal collection, pine nuts

and Buddhist amulets. -What?

-Buddhist amulets, write it down. -Wrote it down.

-Oh, listen, our TV broke down.

Transfer about three thousand, and I'll call the master. -Ok.

-In your Irkutsk everything will work out, don't worry.

Oh, I remember being at Lake Baikal in my youth too.

I had a fiance there. By the way, he was a diver too.

Well, we used to call them divers.

Bye! -Hello, mom!

We love and miss you very much, come on! Return sooner.

-I you too. -Okay, I kiss you.

-Friends! Anyone else want gifts from Irkutsk - ask Nastya.

-Anton, you need to hold the camera in this position.

So, let's go.

Peter, turn on the lung.

-Done.

-Blow some more. Blow.

Saturation?

-89.

-Great.

-Very good. Well done.

Now stitch up.

-Anton, prepare the drainage tube, let's sew.

Anton, we're preparing inspiration.

Time is 7 hours 3 minutes.

Operation completed.

Astronauts assisted me for the first time.

Guys, you've done a great job.

Thank you all.

(Anton) -So what now?

(Zhenya) -Now we have to wait.

In a few days we'll understand, whether it worked out or not.

The inflammation will subside and the vacuum will recover.

Stitch.

-Would you like some coffee?

I would like some cognac.

-It's possible. At Konstantin Andreevich's.

(Schubert - "Ave Maria")

- Have you tried omul caviar?

-I tried. -Well? Did it help?

-There are no plates.

-The operation is essentially complete.

She's sewing.

Now we just wait.

-Maybe some brandy?

-Perhaps it's possible now.

-Good brandy, very good.

-Surgery is just a part.

And then the waiting: it worked - it didn't work.

And that's the hardest part.

(Masha) -This happens quite often at mom's work.

She can not come home for three days.

And he might start rotting there, pneumonia, bleeding.

-The most frustrating thing is that all of this can happen, even if the surgery was successful.

-You wait for a few days. You wait and hope.

- And there's a whole bunch of consequences:

thromboembolism... - Atelectasis, pneumonia.

-They're washing him and pumping him with antibiotics.

And they wait, wondering whether a lung will begin to breathe or not.

-And if it won't breathe?

- Another surgery.

But this is here. And there - I don't know.

(Masha) -Statistically, up to 7 percent die

from the effects of surgeries.

-7 percent is not much, right? -Not much, unless it's your patient.

And it’s not on your conscience.

-Hello, Konstantin Lvovich.

No, nobody was informed.

You'll be the first to know when he comes to.

Yes, we will let yours proceed to landing. Goodbye.

Where did Ernst get my number from?

(kids) -Let's run, faster!

-The temperature is stable, saturation is 92.

No good news yet.

-Zhenya? Zhen!

-Yes? -There this...

-What? -Oleg.

-What?

-Evgenia, over here. -Where is he?

(intense music)

-Brothers,

I got such a craving.

Evgenia Vladimirovna,

can we eat something?

-Uh-huh.

-Looks good, Konstantin Andreevich.

-Mission Control Moscow to ISS crew, do you read?

-MCC Moscow is listening.

-The lung has fully expanded.

The vacuum is steady. No exudate in the pleural cavity.

-Yes, Konstantin Andreevich. -Bogdanov came to his senses.

-So, everything went well? -Turn on the broadcast from the ISS.

(Zhenya) -The temperature is normal. Tests are within normal limits.

I removed the drainage.

From my observations, the recurrence risk is minimal.

So it looks like we're going to be home soon.

-Congratulations, Konstantin Andreevich.

-I got a call - Bogdanov is improving.

-So that's great news! -Wonderful!

-A little lower. -Vladislav Nikolaevich,

and who is Bogdanov?

-This is an astronaut.

That's it, we can close up.

-I still don't understand why they chose her and not you?

-Because...

She is cool.

(Valery Leontiev - "Hang glider flight")

-Congrats!

- Zhenya! - Huh?

-Stay with us for half a year?

-Yes, we thought it over, it feels somewhat safer with a doctor.

-Not a chance. We need to get to Earth ASAP.

Zhenya promised me a khachapuri. -Uh-huh.

-What, don't they deliver khachapuri to Heroes of Russia on the ISS?

-Any minute now. -Make a list.

We'll arrange express delivery for you "Progress".

(Zhenya is crying)

-Anton, may I ask you?

When you will go out into open space,

Leave them there.

(sobs)

-We'll figure it out. Keep it with you for now.

(crying)

Have you ever been to Australia?

And in Madagascar?

Follow me.

Evgenia Vladimirovna, this is an order.

Come on.

-Good.

Oh, dear!

(smooth waltz)

What are we currently flying over?

-Baikal.

-Baikal!

-But that's not all, Evgenia Vladimirovna.

This is your space chariot for tonight.

- The main gift from all of us.

Are you ready?

-Can you be ready for this?

-Then put it on.

Hurry up, while the MCC can't see us.

-Now.

One second.

(inspirational music)

This is my favorite. Out.

-Please.

-And also something else.

If you see a bright light,

these are probably angels.

(inspired music)

(Anton) -Eugene, give me your hand.

Don't hold on too hard -

hands will hurt.

And now - let go.

Come on, Come on!

Nowhere to hide.

(inspiring music)

-Masha, you won't believe where I am now.

(lyrical music)

"The sky will be covered with specks of stars,

And the branches will bend back sprung...

(Anna German - "Echo of Love") I'll hear you from a thousand miles away.

We are echo,

We are an echo,

We're a long echo of each other.

We are the echo,

We are echo,

We are a long echo of each other.

(the song continues)

-Why are they silent?

-Oleg? Oleg, how are you?

Do you breathe?

-Yes. I'm breathing.

Thank you.

- And to you too.

-Why are you without flowers?

-But you did not die.

(hubbub of voices)

-Got it! -Legs, legs.

-Have you thought about expanding your professional opportunities?

Space surgery.

-That's interesting, I'll think about it.

-Yes, and say hello and thank you for the advice to Vladislav.

-I'll certainly pass it on. His wire idea saved us all.

-And this too. But most importantly -

advice to send specifically you into space.

Take care.

(recalls Nikolaev's words) -You're a great surgeon.

I would have chosen you if I were in his place.

(Elka - "After me")

-Found yourself an astronaut?

-Hello. -Hello.

Where shall we go?

-How's space?

-I love you.

-I love you.

-I had to go to space for you to say that.

(Yolka - "After me")

(helicopter noise on TV)

-Welcome back!

(tv reporter) -Thoracic surgeon Evgenia Belyaeva

after successfully performing a surgical operation on the ISS

returned to Earth. The astronaut was saved.

He's currently undergoing rehab and will return to his family soon.

Tell me, how did you decide to send a surgeon into space,

and to perform surgery on a woman at the ISS, where there is no Earth's gravity?

-You know, where there is a Russian woman, there is always attraction.
