CONTROL [OVER RADIO] Please verify that the P1 A TA removal...

...on replacement cap part 1 and 2 are complete.

WOMAN [OVER RADIO] DMA M1, M2, M3 and M4 are complete.

CONTROL Okay. Copy that, Explorer.

Dr. Stone, Houston.

Medical is concerned about your ECG readings.

STON E [OVER RADIO] : l'm fine, Houston.

CONTROL Well, Medical doesn't agree, doc. Are you feeling nauseous?

STON E: Not any more than usual, Houston. Diagnostics are green.

Link to communications card ready for data reception.

If this works, when we touch down tomorrow, l'm buying all you guys a round of drinks.

CONTROL That's a date, doctor.

Just remember, Houston 's partial to margaritas.

STON E: Booting comms card now.

Please confirm link.

CONTROL That's a negative, we 're not seeing any data.

STON E: Stand by, Houston, l'm gonna reboot the comms card.

CONTROL Standing by.

KOWALSKI [OVER RADIO] Houston, l have a bad feeling about this mission.

CONTROL Please expand.

KOWALSKI Okay, let me tell you a story.

It was '90. l'd been up here for 42 days.

Every time l passed over Texas, l looked down...

...knowing that Mrs. Kowalski was looking up, thinking of me.

Six weeks l'm blowing kisses at that woman.

Then we land at Edwards and l find out that she 's run off with this lawyer.

So l packed my car, and l headed to--

CONTROL Tijuana. You've told this story, Kowalski.

As Houston recalls, she, uh, took off in your '74 GTO.

Engineering requests fuel status on the jetpack prototype.

KOWALSKI Five hours off the reservation and l show 30 percent drain.

Give my compliments to Engineering.

Except for a slight malfunction in the nulling of the roll axis...

...this jetpack is one prime piece of thrust.

[COU NTRY M USIC PLAYI NG I N DISTI NCTLY OVER RADIO]

CONTROL Engineering says thank you.

KOWALSKI Tell them I still prefer my '67 Corvette, though .

-Speaking of which , did I ever tell you-- CONTROL We know the Corvette story.

KOWALSKI Even Engineering?

CONTROL Especially Engineering.

We 're going to miss you, Matt.

STON E: Comms card reboot in progress.

CONTROL Thank you, doctor.

Shariff, what's your status?

SHARI FF [OVER RADIO] : Nearly there. Replacing battery module A 1 and C.

CONTROL Could you be a little more specific?

Indeterminate estimates make Houston anxious.

SHARI FF: No, no, no, Houston. Don 't be anxious.

Anxiety's not good for the heart.

System is ready to reactivate.

CONTROL Hubble telescope engaged. Upgrade fully functional.

[APPLAUSE OVER RADIO]

That applause you hear is for you, Shariff.

Congratulations. Kick back, take the rest of the day off.

[SHARI FF LAUG H I NG]

[SHARI FF SI NG I NG I N H I N DI]

CONTROL Matt, do you have a visual...

...on just what Mission Specialist Shariff is doing up there ?

He appears to be doing some form of the Macarena.

But that would be just a best-guess scenario on my part.

CONTROL Dr. Stone, Houston.

Medical now have you with a temperature drop to 35. 9...

...and a heart-rate rise to 70.

How are you feeling?

STON E: Houston, l'm fine.

It's just keeping your lunch down in zero-G is harder than it looks.

CONTROL Dr. Stone, Medical is asking if you want to return to Explorer.

STON E: Negative. We've been here a week, Houston . Let's just finish this. Ahem .

Card is up.

CONTROL No, that's a negative.

L'm afraid we 're getting nothing on this end, doctor.

Try again .

CONTROL No, still nothing.

Houston , can you please turn that music off?

CONTROL Kowalski.

KOWALSKI Not a problem.

Thank you , Kowalski .

[M USIC STOPS]

Now, Houston?

CONTROL That's a negative.

Could Houston be misinterpreting the data?

CONTROL Well, we 're not receiving any data.

Engineering is recommending a vis-check for component damage.

STON E: Let me see what's going on .

What have we got?

Visual examination doesn't reveal any damaged components.

The problem must be originating from the comms panel .

CONTROL Yeah, that seems to be the case.

Engineering admits that you warned us that this could happen.

That's as close to an apology as you're going to get from them.

We should have listened to you, doc.

Well, looks like we 're going to have to improvise.

I'm on it.

CONTROL How long do you think it'll take you?

One hour. Ahem.

CONTROL Outstanding.

Installing your system in the Hubble is the purpose of this mission...

...and so we appreciate your patience, doctor.

Kowalski, we know you don 't care about things like this...

...but, uh, for your information, this delay is not going to be long enough...

...for you to break Anatoly Solovyev's spacewalking record.

-It seems like you're gonna be left-- KOWALSKI Seventy-five minutes shy?

Never crossed my mind.

CONTROL Matt...

...it's been a privilege.

KOWALSKI Right back at you, Houston.

CONTROL Enjoy your last walk.

Am I a go to assist Dr. Stone in removing the panel?

STON E: Assistance appreciated. CONTROL Permission granted.

KOWALSKI Thank you , Houston . Agh .

Mind if I join the fun?

Certainly.

KOWALSKI How you feeling?

Like a Chihuahua that's being tumble-dried .

Well , it's been a rough week. If it makes you feel any better...

... I coughed up everything but my kidneys on my first ride.

Shit.

Ah . Ah . Unh .

[CH UCKLES]

-Ha, ha. -Sorry.

I'm used to a basement Iab in a hospital where things fall to the floor.

Thank you .

Well , you're the genius up here.

I only drive the bus.

Yeah , well , call me a genius...

... if I can get this board initialized in the next hour.

CONTROL Explorer, this is Houston.

WOMAN [OVER RADIO] Go ahead, Houston.

CONTROL NORAD reports a Russian satellite has incurred a missile strike.

The impact has created a cloud of debris...

...orbiting at 20, 000 miles per hour.

Current debris orbit does not overlap with your trajectory.

We 'll keep you posted on any developments.

WOMAN : Copy that, Houston.

Should we be worried?

No, Iet's Iet the boys down there worry for us.

Explorer, engage arm and pivot to cargo bay.

WOMAN : Stand by for arm maneuver.

Aah .

So, doc, now that you work for NASA, how do you Iike us?

SHARI FF: Kind of like winning the lottery, huh ?

I was just happy that they didn't cut the funding to my research .

-How Iong was your training? -Oh , six months.

SHARI FF: lncluding holidays? STON E: U h-huh .

So, what is this scanning system?

SHARI FF: Oh, nothing, Matt.

It's just a new set of eyes to scan the edge of the universe.

It's designed for hospital use, but this one's a prototype.

WOMAN : Stand by for locking.

STON E: U nh . -Listen , they don't bankroll prototypes.

Even for your pretty blue eyes.

Well , my eyes are brown .

Right now, your eyes are bloodshot.

SHARI FF: Kowalski! ls this great or what?

[LAUGH I NG]

And to think he went to Harvard .

You gotta admit one thing

Can't beat the view.

So, what do you Iike about being up here?

STON E: The silence.

I could get used to it.

[CH UCKLES]

Terrific.

STON E: Houston , from first inspection , comms panel appears to be dead .

Am I a go to cut Iink to auxiliary?

CONTROL You're the expert, doctor. lt's your call.

Houston , I have a bad feeling about this mission .

CONTROL Please elaborate.

It's the same feeling I had about Mardi Gras in 1 987.

CONTROL That is affirmative.

Surprisingly, Control hasn't heard the Mardi Gras story.

Please proceed.

Well , it's day one, and I'm bumping my way down Bourbon Street...

... Iooking for a sister of a friend of mine.

Streets are full of people, I'm thinking there's no way I'm gonna find this girl .

STON E: Proceeding to override.

Then all of a sudden , I Iook up and there she is. I'm about to yell out.

I see she's holding hands with some hairy guy in board shorts...

...and a Margaritaville shirt.

And then I realize that this guy is not a guy.

That my girl is holding hands with--

CONTROL lSS, this is Houston.

-Explorer, this is Houston. WOMAN : Go ahead, Houston.

CONTROL Mission abort. Repeat, mission abort.

Initiate emergency disconnect from Hubble. Begin reentry procedure.

LSS, initiate emergency evacuation.

WOMAN : Copy all, Houston, and in work.

Matt, immediate return to Explorer. Repeat, immediate return to Explorer.

Copy. Explorer, prep airlock.

WOMAN : Airlock engaged, ready to receive. -Houston , elaborate.

CONTROL Debris from the missile strike has caused a chain reaction...

...hitting other satellites and creating new debris.

Traveling faster than a high-speed bullet up towards your altitude. All copy.

Copy all .

Put a bow on it, Dr. Stone.

I can't. The board is still initializing .

-I'm not gonna ask you again . -One second .

Not one second . Now. Shut it down .

That's an order.

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm done. I'm done.

WOMAN : Kowalski, initiate emergency disconnect from the Hubble.

-AII right, Shariff, let's do this. SHARI FF: Roger, Matt.

KOWALSKI Houston , update.

CONTROL Well, we have a full-on chain reaction.

It's been confirmed that it's the unintentional side effect...

...of the Russians striking one of their own satellites.

SHARI FF: They shot down their own satellite ? -Right of disposal .

Most Iikely a spy sat gone bad . Now it's shrapnel .

Explorer, ready to disengage HST.

WOMAN : Locks releasing in three, two, one.

CONTROL Explorer, new data coming through.

KOWALSKI What's the blowback, Houston?

CONTROL lt's not good. Most of our systems are gone.

Debris chain reaction is out of control and rapidly expanding.

Multiple satellites are down and they keep on falling.

Define "multiple satellites."

CONTROL Most of them are gone.

Telecommunication systems are dead.

Expect a communication blackout at any moment.

STON E: Kowalski, visual of debris at 9 o 'clock.

Half of North America just Iost their Facebook.

CONTROL Explorer, repeat...

...expect a communication blackout at any moment.

WOMAN : Copy that, Houston.

KOWALSKI Explorer, this is Kowalski , confirming visual contact with debris.

Debris is from a BSE sat.

SHARI FF: Heads upl KOWALSKI To repeat, I have--

STON E: Dr. Stone requesting faster transport. -We have to go. We have to go, go, go!

CONTROL Kennedy reports meteorological conditions no-go...

WOMAN : Houston, Explorer. Copy.

STON E: Explorer, Dr. Stone requesting faster transport to bay area.

Explorer, do you copy?

-Explorer, permission to retrieve Dr. Stone. WOMAN : You're a go, Kowalski.

Houston, this is Explorer, copy.

KOWALSKI AII right. WOMAN : We 've lost Houston.

KOWALSKI Unh! WOMAN : We 've lost Houston.

U nstrap. Look, we need to get the hell out of here.

SHARI FF: Need some help there, Matt? -No, don't wait for us.

SHARI FF: Unhl -It's stuck!

KOWALSKI Man down ! Man down !

WOMAN : Houston, this is Explorer, copy. STON E: Aah!

STON E: I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm all right.

KOWALSKI Your status. Give me your readings.

STON E: Three. . . . Three...

Three-point-six PSI .

KOWALSKI Your O2, give me your O2.

STON E: Oxygen is going down . It's going down fast. It's going down fast. N ine--

No, 8 percent.

KOWALSKI You're breathing too fast.

You're burning oxygen, and we don 't wanna do that.

We wanna relax. Copy?

STON E: Okay, sorry. Yes, copy.

KOWALSKI All right. Nearly there. -Copy. Please hurry.

KOWALSKI You can holster that torch, Dr. Stone.

Sorry. Sorry.

-Aah ! -Gotcha.

AII right, now I'm gonna tether you to me.

I know, you never realized how devastatingly good-looking I am .

But I need you to stop staring and help me with the tether.

Okay?

STON E: Okay. Okay.

U h , I got it.

AII right, here we go.

Now, to clear you from the jets, I'm gonna give you a Iittle push .

-No, no, no. -Not a push .

Better.

Let's get out of here.

-Goddamn it! Agh . -I know what you mean .

STON E: Damn it.

KOWALSKI You're burning oxygen .

We're going back to the shuttle. How's that for a plan? Copy?

STON E: Fuck!

KOWALSKI Right. Copy that.

Houston , in the blind . This is Kowalski .

Dr. Stone and I are gonna make our way back to base.

Can you get the Explorer to prepare the airlock for arrival? Copy?

Houston , this is Kowalski. How do you copy?

Houston , in the blind . This is Kowalski .

STON E: They can't hear us.

KOWALSKI We don't know that. That's why we keep talking .

If somebody is Iistening , they might just save your Iife.

Set your watch for 90 minutes.

-Why 90? KOWALSKI Houston clocked that debris...

...at 50,000 miles an hour.

If you factor in our current orbit...

...then I figure we got about 90 minutes before we get our asses kicked again .

STON E: O2 down to 6 percent.

KOWALSKI Okay. Pretty scary shit being untethered up here, isn't it?

Yeah , pretty scary shit.

Well , you did all right.

[G RU NTS]

STON E: Well , you weren't so bad yourself.

KOWALSKI Houston , in the blind . This is Kowalski .

Our current location is approximately...

...900 meters out from the Explorer.

Dr. Stone and I would Iike to retrieve the body...

...of Mission Specialist Shariff...

...and return it to the shuttle.

Am I a go to retrieve?

Roger that.

STON E: Where is he? Where is he?

[GASPI NG]

Oh , my God .

Oh , my God . Oh , my God .

[BOTH GRU NTI NG]

KOWALSKI Grab him!

KOWALSKI You're pulling me away.

STON E: I got him !

KOWALSKI CIutch him Iike he's your valentine. -I got him .

I can't engage my thrust with you two yo-yoing around .

KOWALSKI Jesus Christ.

Here 's hoping you have a hell of an insurance policy, Houston.

The damages to Explorer...

...are catastrophic.

Will commence search for survivors.

STON E: O2 down to 5 percent.

KOWALSKI AII right, here we go. Careful of the edges!

[BOTH GRU NTI NG]

KOWALSKI Here. Here!

[YELLS]

Houston , in the blind . To confirm

Mission Specialist Dr. Stone and Mission Commander Matthew Kowalski ...

...are the sole survivors of the STS-1 57.

I apologize for not complying .

I should've stopped working as soon as you instructed me to.

We were gonna get hit no matter what.

There was nothing you could do to change that.

Hey.

Yes?

AII right...

...we have to make our way to the space station .

Over there.

It's a bit of a hike...

... but we need to use their escape pod , the Soyuz, to get back to Earth .

Agreed?

Dr. Stone...

...agreed?

Agreed .

AII right. After you .

Oh , God .

[BOTH GRU NT]

KOWALSKI Houston, in the blind. This is Kowalski.

Dr. Stone and l have determined to proceed to lSS...

...and use one of their Soyuz for reentry.

LSS, ifyou hear us...

...we could sure use a rescue mission.

STON E: O2 down to 2 percent.

KOWALSKI We 're getting there.

Beautiful, don't you think?

STON E: What?

KOWALSKI The sunrise.

That's what I'm gonna miss the most.

[COU NTRY M USIC PLAYI NG I N DISTI NCTLY OVER RADIO]

So where's home, Dr. Stone?

Ryan , where's home?

-Home? -Mm-hm .

Down there. Mother Earth .

Where do you pitch your tent?

Lake Zurich .

Where the hell is that?

I IIinois.

I IIinois. Central time zone.

That would make it roughly...

...8 p. m .

What are the good people of Lake Zurich doing at 8:00?

I don't know.

I'm not gonna make it. I'm slowing you down .

What would you be doing?

Come on , Ryan .

It's 800.

You've just left the hospital affer an 1 8-hour shift.

Driving home.

The radio.

I listen to the radio.

There we go. Let me guess.

N PR?

CIassical?

Top 40?

Anything . I don't care, as Iong as they don't talk. I just drive.

And where are you driving to?

I just drive.

What do you miss down there?

Is there a Mr. Stone?

No.

Nobody special?

Somebody down there looking up...

...thinking about you?

Ryan?

I had a daughter.

[M USIC STOPS]

She was 4.

She was at school playing tag .

SIipped , hit her head , and that was it.

Stupidest thing .

I was driving when I got the call , so...

Ever since then , that's what I do.

I wake up...

... I go to work...

...and I just drive.

O2 down to 1 percent.

KOWALSKI Well , I've got good news and bad news.

The good news is, we're about 5 minutes from the ISS...

...and I know where the Russians stash their vodka.

And that is good , because I'm running on fumes here.

The bad news is...

... I'm gonna be about 1 0 minutes short of breaking Anatoly's record , and--

[DEVICE BEEPI NG]

STON E: Agh! -What?

I'm redlining . My O2 tank pressure is Iow.

Your tank is out of oxygen , but you still have it in your suit.

Got it.

KOWALSKI So you have to sip, not gulp.

Wine, not beer.

Sip, Ryan .

Houston , in the blind , we have a visual of the ISS.

The station must have been evacuated because the first Soyuz. . .

... is missing . The second Soyuz exhibits surface damage...

...and its chute has been deployed .

Any use as an escape pod for reentry is impossible.

STON E: Shouldn't we be turning? We're driffing again .

KOWALSKI Not yet. I wasn't kidding about those fumes.

This can has one or two good thrusts left...

... if we're Iucky.

Steady.

Aim .

Fire.

[STON E GASPI NG]

-Brake! Brake. You have to brake! -I can't, the can's...

You just hold on , and I'm gonna start pulling you in .

Hey, doc.

Just hold on . Hang on .

-I am gonna pull you in . -Ryan , listen .

You have to Iet me go.

-No. -The ropes are too Ioose.

I'm pulling you with me.

-Let me go or we both die. -I'm not Ietting you go!

We're fine! Unh .

-Agh ! -No.

[BOTH GRU NT]

KOWALSKI Ryan, do you hear me ?

Do you copy?

My CO2 alarm went off. My CO2 alarm went off.

KOWALSKI Look, you need to board the station.

Do you see the airlock?

Hey, Ryan.

You copy?

Look for the airlock.

It's above you, next to the Zarya module.

You see it?

STON E: Yes. Yes, I see it. I see it.

KOWALSKI All right, good. That's where you wanna go.

Now you're getting light-headed, right?

Yeah . Yes.

KOWALSKI That's because you're breathing CO2.

You're losing consciousness.

You need to board the station.

Okay.

KOWALSKI That second Soyuz is too damaged for reentry...

...but it's perfectly fine for a little Sunday drive.

Sunday drive?

KOWALSKI Look to the west.

You see that dot in the distance?

That's a Chinese station.

STON E: Yes.

KOWALSKI You're gonna take the Soyuz, and you're gonna cruise over there.

Chinese lifeboat is a Shenzhou .

I've never flown a Shenzhou.

KOWALSKI lt doesn 't matter.

Its reentry protocol is identical to the Soyuz.

Okay.

KOWALSKI You never flown the Soyuz either?

Only a simulator.

KOWALSKI Well, then you know.

But I crashed it.

KOWALSKI lt's a simulator, that's what it's designed for.

Every time.

I crashed it every time.

KOWALSKI You point the damn thing at Earth. lt's not rocket science.

And by this time tomorrow, you're gonna be back in Lake Zurich with a hell of a story to tell.

You copy?

Ryan, you copy?

-I'm gonna take the Soyuz and come get you . KOWALSKI No, you're not.

-I'm coming to get you . KOWALSKI l've got too much of a head start.

-I'm coming to get you . KOWALSKI l'm afraid that ship already sailed.

Ryan, you're gonna have to learn to let go.

-But I-- KOWALSKI l wanna hear you say...

...you're gonna make it.

Come on, Ryan, say it.

I'm gonna make it.

KOWALSKI All right. Keep going.

What kind of a name is Ryan for a girl?

Dad wanted a boy.

KOWALSKI Are you close to the airlock?

Not yet.

KOWALSKI Keep going.

So now that we have some distance between us...

...you're attracted to me, right?

What?

KOWALSKI Well, people say l have beautiful blue eyes.

You have beautiful--

You have beautiful blue eyes.

KOWALSKI l have brown eyes.

Hey, you wanna know the good news?

What?

KOWALSKI l'm gonna break Anatoly's record...

...and l think mine 's gonna stand for a long, long time.

Oh , no. I'm coming to get you .

KOWALSKI Oh, my God.

What? What?

KOWALSKI Wow.

You tell her that she is my angel .

And she makes me so proud . So, so proud .

And you tell her that I'm not quitting .

You tell her that I Iove her, Matt.

You tell her that I Iove her so much .

Can you do that for me?
