WHEN THE STARS GOSSIP

What?

No. Don't come out.

Stay there!

No, I deserve to die.

Please go back.

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

Go back, Eve!

Go back!

We're ready to go. Commander, take your seat.

I'm not leaving.

What?

I said, I'm not leaving.

If it were me trapped alone,

would you guys have left me behind?

If I were the tourist, would you have abandoned me?

Being the commander doesn't mean you have to throw your life away.

Are you saying it's okay for him to die?

Chief, would you have left me behind?

Dong-a, would you have abandoned an untrained civilian?

No, right?

I have the most experience with spacewalks,

so I should be the one to stay.

Reattach the hooks and open the hatch now.

I won't leave him alone here to die.

I'll find him and go back down with him on a G.O ship.

I'm not throwing my life away.

I'll stick close to the station and make my way over carefully.

Open the hatch!

This is Seoul. We have visual on EV1, Camera 5.

EV1, don't rush it. Just follow instructions.

We're looking for the safest route.

Copy.

This is EV1.

I'll make my way up from the kitchen module to Adapter 1,

the storage module, then Airlock 2.

IOU.

Is there any other spot leaking oxygen other than the storage module?

We cannot confirm that right at this time.

Are you saying you don't know if the tourist is alive?

I've reached the storage module.

The target point is visible 15 m ahead.

There are a lot of sharp edges, and the space debris will be back.

Be careful.

Copy.

Continuing on.

No.

No!

You're doing great.

You're almost there.

No.

What? Is it back already?

The debris cloud is approaching faster than we thought.

It's speeding up.

Eve, hurry. The big ones are coming.

Okay.

Incoming!

Eve, watch out!

No.

Has her space suit been compromised?

No, not yet.

What?

What?

Eve, take cover!

When we're back on Earth and standing on solid ground,

let's go out for meals,

movies and walks, just like everyone else.

If it rains, let's get wet

and let the wind blow us over.

Let's go on dates like they do on Earth.

When we get back, I'll be so good to you.

Once I set foot on solid ground,

I can be good to you too.

Don't look down!

Open your eyes and look straight ahead!

-Check the pressure in her suit. -Okay.

There's no oxygen leak. Her secondary tank's just been activated.

Okay. How are her vitals?

Her temperature and heart rate are still normal.

But there's no time. She has to get inside now.

Eve, are you all right? Can you hear me?

It's okay.

There should be some scratches on your suit, but nothing critical.

This is EV1.

The cloud of debris is clearing.

It'll be back!

Copy. I'll move fast.

IOU.

Have you gotten hold of the tourist yet?

Negative. Not yet.

I'm here.

Right below the airlock hatch.

What the hell was the tourist doing in the observation module?

How is he? Is he okay?

Stand by with the tourist, okay?

We'll confirm a safe time for your escape on the G.O-4 and update you soon.

Airlock has been pressurized.

Eve!

I'm sorry.

It's… It's my fault.

It's all my fault.

I'm sorry.

Eve.

Out of your suit yet?

You should've just left.

Do you really mean that?

You should've gone without me.

I deserve it.

I'm sorry for not making it there in time,

for drinking behind your back,

for calling you a murderer,

for being here at all, for having feelings for…

For everything. I'm sorry for everything.

It's all my fault. I'm sorry.

You said you'd be good to me.

You said you wanted to… You know, like they do on Earth.

Let's do that when we're back on Earth.

Eve, if you're out of your suit, turn it around.

Turn the camera around.

Eve.

Can you hear me?

Did we lose connection again?

Eve?

The connection seems fine, but I can't hear her.

I'm sure they're fine.

The connection is stable and functioning properly.

They've probably entered an area with intermittent communication loss.

I hope that's it.

-When will we have the escape time? -Right.

Breaking news.

The Scorpion spacecraft made an emergency escape after colliding with space debris

and is now heading to Earth with astronauts from Spain and Korea onboard.

Fortunately, the Crew Scorpion has a total capacity of six,

and it's assumed the entire crew was able to evacuate from the space station.

Whether any astronauts remain on the space station

has yet to be confirmed.

IOU and the Seoul Mission Control Center

have announced they will brief the media

on the emergency escape shortly.

-Whether the tourist… -Mr. Go.

…is aboard the Scorpion and returning a day early is unknown.

As soon as we know more…

Well…

I'm sure he's fine, what with all the advanced technology we have.

Don't worry, okay?

You know Ryong. I bet he's just lying there, relaxing…

No, wait. He zonks out fast.

He's probably snoring like this on his way back here now.

-Should I go pick him up? -Sorry?

Can I come?

I'll come too.

You really can't. You know that, right?

We have our own airline.

-Yes. -Call and ask them to free up a plane.

I didn't see him off when he left.

You can't fly out right away, and you'd never beat him there.

I don't need to beat him there.

He's not coming straight to Seoul, right?

You said he'd need a few days to adjust to gravity at the hospital.

I can bring him back with me on our plane after that.

What are you waiting for? Go make the call.

But it takes time to go through the procedures.

Make it happen.

Yes, ma'am.

I wonder if the egg developed into a morula before he set off.

GONG RYONG'S 8TH DAY

MORULA FORMED

The G.O-4 set for their escape is functional in all modules,

and the propulsion control system is working fine.

Okay.

It's been in hibernation mode, so make sure it's fully powered up.

The last step is the engine firing test. Should we start?

The liquid oxygen levels are dropping.

It looks like there's a leak.

That means it could explode when we fire up the engine.

The oxygen saturation isn't that high, so it shouldn't be a problem.

We can start the engine.

-Zoom in on the spacecraft. -Okay.

I don't see any leaks.

It's probably not showing up on camera.

If the leak isn't visible,

it should be fine to fire up the engine.

They can't avoid the debris and return safely

unless we start the engine and change the orbit.

Right.

I'm a little worried,

but we can't let them board without testing it first.

This is the only way for them to evacuate.

Okay, start the test.

Yes, Chief.

Keep an eye on the liquid oxygen levels.

-Check the saturation again too. -Okay.

They'll depart as soon as the test is complete.

Got it.

They're doing the final test on the spacecraft now.

We'll depart in an hour.

And in four hours, we'll be back on Earth.

You're not losing your mind or anything, right?

You're not regretting it, are you?

Am I dreaming?

THE TRUTH IS, I CAME HERE TO CREATE EMBRYOS…

Why does that damn oxygen tank keep floating around? It's distracting.

Are you in love with Eve?

What? I was her mentor for five years.

I was yours for five years.

Crew Scorpion is entering the atmosphere.

Put the Scorpion on the main screen.

Scorpion has entered the atmosphere

and is expected to land in the open waters

off the coast of Florida in 35 minutes as scheduled.

This is my first time riding Scorpion.

I hope it's as safe as a G.O vessel.

Scorpion?

-Was that an explosion? -Mina.

Scorpion?

Seoul? What was that?

What was that?

What's going on?

Dona, what's happening?

An explosion?

The escape ship's engine module blew up during testing.

Get G.O-4 on the screen.

Eve, are you all right?

Mr. Gong Ryong?

Are you okay?

I'm okay. Are you all right, Eve?

Close the airlock hatch first, Commander!

The engine module exploded.

The truth is,

I came here to create embryos using the MZ Group heir's sperm

and his wife's eggs.

I hid the eggs in the ice cream cup.

I fertilized them behind your back,

and the embryo is now in the incubator.

Please don't let it die.

The engine module gave out during the test and blew apart.

The remote power controls aren't responding,

and the undocking system is down.

It can't be detached from the station.

The vessel is useless now.

It won't get you back to Earth.

Eve.

What… What do we do now?

There's nothing we can do.

-Go get my future son-in-law and grandkid. -This way.

Bring them both back safely.

Yes, Chairman.

The astronauts who escaped have passed through the atmosphere.

-Hello, there. It's good to see you. -Did you have lunch?

It's been a long time.

-Hello. -Hey.

Eve, here's the situation.

G.O-4, the only escape ship available to you,

is no longer an option.

Right now, there's no way for you

to get back to Earth.

How soon can you send a rescue ship?

I'll look into it right away.

In the meantime, check the station's power and see how long you can hold up.

Copy.

Commander, is there anything I can do to help?

Things are not looking good here.

It seems the solar array got fried

when the storage module was breached.

You've got to be kidding me.

We can no longer get power from the solar panels,

so we'll have to rely on emergency power.

How long do you think it'll last?

Well, I'd say no more than two days.

Then you need to conserve power. Switch all modules to emergency mode.

We'll keep communication open until your space suit battery runs out.

Let's keep it to a minimum.

Got it.

I'll start by turning off the systems

that consume the most power, except for life support.

We'll get to you in two days. We can.

We will.

The press is waiting.

You need to speak to them before the Scorpion lands,

or they'll realize the commander and the tourist couldn't evacuate.

We need to shape the story on our end.

Here she comes!

-Here she comes! -Where?

What caused the emergency evacuation from the space station?

Has everyone on the station made it out safely?

When is the tourist coming back to Korea?

-Please give us an update. -Could you give us the details?

When is the official…

It's become a morula.

Sixteen cells.

I just need to bring it back and implant it.

Don't be scared, okay?

We can get through this.

We just need to hold out for two days until they send the rescue ship.

If we keep the power usage to a minimum, we should be able to make it.

But…

Once you turn off the dehumidifier, condensation will start to form.

That could be dangerous.

So get here before we freeze to death.

I'll make sure to get you back to Earth.

Is there anything you need?

No, thank you.

We're ready to go.

Please turn off your tablet and all other electronic devices.

Wait, look at this.

What is it?

The emergency evacuation from the space station was due to debris

created by the collision of a fuel tank with a low-orbit satellite.

Secondary impacts formed a large cloud of debris,

which was so vast that

despite orbit adjustments, it still intersected the station's path.

The escape ship has passed through Earth's atmosphere

and is heading to the waters off Florida's coast.

Ocean.

I feel terrible that we left them behind.

When will they launch the rescue ship?

How are the commander and the tourist? Are they okay?

The spacecraft that has arrived on Earth is carrying a total of four people.

The mission commander and the tourist

are currently still at the space station.

IOU and the Seoul Mission Control Center are preparing a rescue ship

to evacuate the commander and Mr. Gong Ryong

from the station as soon as possible.

Due to the damage caused by the space debris,

-they were left stranded on the station. -What is she saying, Dr. Jeon?

-They're in good health with no injuries. -I don't…

-They're maintaining communication… -I'm not sure.

…while awaiting the second evacuation.

We plan to bring them back to Earth as quickly as possible.

When and where will the rescue ship launch?

Who will board?

That'll be all.

I'm sorry. We'll issue an official statement soon.

-I'm sorry. Excuse me. -Could you tell us more now?

I'll go.

The available vessels are at IOU Mission Control and in the States.

This isn't the time to get emotional. Stay out of it.

You know it's going to take at least a week for them to launch.

We can't wait that long.

Let me take our own vessel.

We don't have a vessel that's completed a crewed flight.

The one we have has never carried people into space.

You know we're just testing

the abort system and reentry in two days with a manikin!

I'm saying, put me on it instead of the manikin.

Isn't the manikin a stand-in for a person anyway?

Just get out of here.

You're telling me to put you on the test flight to see

if it's safe enough to carry people?

You're insane!

They only have two days' worth of power left on the space station.

I'd rather die trying to reach them than die from the stress of waiting.

You just won't quit!

I'm a pilot, all right?

A soldier who's prepared to die in the air any day.

Are you going to let Eve die? And send a rescue ship after she's dead?

In this kind of situation, you should say, "Man up and be the manikin."

"You're a soldier. I'm your superior."

"This is an order, you fucker!"

"You want to go? Fine, go!"

Why can't you be like this?

You think you want to save Eve and I don't?

You can't bring them back if you don't make it there safely,

you stupid womanizer!

Have you ever seen the manikin come back in one piece?

Who do you think you are? You don't even work here!

I'm not quitting.

My resignation hasn't been processed yet.

You can just forget about it.

I won't stand for it

if anyone hesitates to save Eve's life.

Even if it's you.

GONG RYONG'S 9TH DAY

It's minus 20 degrees.

I found the thermal tents.

Let's wait it out in these.

-I'm going to go see if there's any food. -Okay.

As you all know, the ILS system has been severely damaged,

and we can't get the automatic docking to work,

so the unmanned rescue ship is useless.

We need to send astronauts on the rescue ship.

When can we do it?

We haven't even detached the engine from the Scorpion yet.

It will take at least a week.

Bongani.

When is the earliest you can get the G.O spaceship ready for launch?

The earliest I would be able to get them ready would be five days.

Can you please move up three days?

Isn't the Maru ready to launch in two days?

Has it done the return test yet?

This will be our first test with dummies.

We didn't even finish an emergency escape test.

Water, guys.

Can I get a water, please?

Please.

Get me a bottle of water, you prick.

Hello?

Is there a Mr. Kang? Mr. Kang?

Just a moment.

Here. It's for you.

Hello? This is Kang Kang-su.

Why did you come back alone? Why is Ryong still up there?

Why did you come back without him? You bastard!

-Go-eun. -You go back up there right now

and bring back Ryong!

All right.

All right, listen.

You have a plane in Houston, right?

WE ARE CLOSED

Hey.

Damn it.

For God's sake! Stop crying like it's his funeral!

He's going to come back just fine!

Your eyes are made for seeing,

not for spilling damn tears.

Hey, come on.

Damn it.

That jerk.

EVE, GONG RYONG STRANDED FOR 30 HOURS

This is the space station.

We're running out of emergency power.

Communication uses up the most power,

so if we keep charging the space suit,

the life support system will shut down.

I know we need to stay online for rescue,

but we won't survive without oxygen, so for now…

I'll shut down everything

except the CO2 scrubbers and oxygen generators.

This is probably our last transmission.

The tourist and I are holding on for now.

We won't give up hope until the end.

IOU is doing everything it can to speed things up.

We'll be there in 24 hours.

Really?

Yeah.

We'll launch within 30 hours max.

I…

I mean, we…

Please don't give up on us, guys.

I'll see you back on Earth.

Commander.

Eve.

How about a drink?

By the time IOU gets there, they'll both be dead.

Shut up.

The Maru is set for launch tomorrow. Instead of the manikin--

I said, shut up.

What's your plan then?

Call Bongani and tell him to get it done in 30 hours!

Even if he does, they'll both be dead in 30 hours!

They'll suffocate to death from the CO2 buildup

and lack of oxygen!

You know Eve. If she says two days,

it means they've got less than that!

What then?

You want to let Dong-a go like he says?

And tell yourselves, "We did everything we could"?

If we do that, all three of them will die, you idiots!

Damn it.

Shit.

OXYGEN REMAINING IN STATION: 28%

SURVIVAL TIME REMAINING: APPROXIMATELY 20 HOURS

God, it's cold.

I'm cold.

You think rescue will come tomorrow?

Don't talk. Save your energy.

Will they come?

Why is time passing so slowly?

Well, don't you have your cell phone?

You can't go online,

but don't you have some music or videos saved?

Where's my phone? I can't find it.

I guess it's somewhere over there.

I'm freezing.

Uh-huh.

"Uh-huh"?

Uh-huh.

Are formalities out the window now?

Let's just drop them.

We're going to die soon anyway, so who cares?

Yeah.

You're right.

-Eve. -Yeah?

Where's the liquor? Are you going to drink it after you freeze to death?

I was saving it for when we really need it.

When we really can't take it anymore,

and there's absolutely no choice.

We're going to die if you save it any longer.

Stop saying we're going to die.

Come on, let's just drink it.

My feet have gone numb.

They've gone numb already?

Yeah.

Hang on.

Here.

Oh, geez.

How is it?

God, that's good.

Here.

-How is it? -It burns.

Feels good, right?

Oh, that's nice.

I'd kill for a movie right now.

A movie would be great.

Let's go see one when we're back on Earth.

Together.

Together?

Yeah.

Eve.

Yeah?

Never mind.

What is it?

If I'm about to die,

can I be forgiven for anything?

What's the point of forgiveness? Once you're dead, it's all over.

For some things, you'd still want forgiveness.

Like what?

Like…

Nothing, never mind.

Let's get some rest now.

I should stretch my legs.

What's wrong? Are you in pain?

What's the matter?

I have a cramp. It's really bad.

What? You… You have a cramp?

Yeah.

Hold on a second.

-No, don't come out! -No.

-Stay there! -No.

Oh, it's bad.

Stay there!

No, don't! It's dangerous!

No, wait!

Which leg, the left one?

It hurts.

Where? Here?

Yeah.

Your leg is freezing.

Go back in. It's not safe outside the tent. Go!

You'll put yourself in danger.

What?

Well, you said it's not safe outside the tent.

Bad idea?

No.

Come here.

Isn't this a little better?

-You know… -Yeah?

It'd actually be warmer if we were naked.

Are you okay with that?

We might actually die.

It's not a matter of whether I'm okay with it.

-Can I have the liquor? -Yeah.

Do you want some?

-Go ahead. -Okay.

Get your arm out first.

Your body feels ice cold.

Yeah.

I'll warm you up.

Just hang on. You'll feel warm in a minute.

Okay.

Are you warm?

Yeah.

You must be out of your mind. You're the commander.

No.

This is the protocol, you know.

I'm just following protocol.

Seriously.

Commander.

Yeah?

The truth is…

The truth is,

I came here to create embryos using the MZ Group heir's sperm

and his wife's eggs.

What?

I hid the eggs in the ice cream cup.

They were my patients,

and the wife desperately wants a child.

While pretending to be a tourist…

I managed to fertilize an egg.

In my pocket outside

is an embryo with 16 cells.

A living being.

Here he comes!

He's here.

Stay back, please.

Hi. What's the current situation?

Can we have an update?

Can you tell us how you plan to bring back the tourist from the space station?

-When is the official briefing? -Can you please tell us?

-Tell us about your plan. -Any updates?

How's the tourist? Is he okay?

-Why the silence? -Please tell us.

Excuse me! Here!

Kill me if you want.

I deserve it.

I wonder if Santi

is with his wife now.

I've lied to you…

more than a hundred times because of this.

It's nice, isn't it?

What is?

That means three people might die here.

Did… Did you just say "people"?

I don't even have the energy to be mad at you right now.

Why bother?

It's all pointless now.

Are you happy that there are three of us dying?

Yeah.

I was worried it might end up dying here alone.

But we're sharing the same fate, so that's a little better.

Don't give up.

They'll still send a rescue ship even if we die.

Maybe you can make them take it back and implant it.

Write a will or something.

Eve.

It's our dying wish.

Maybe they'll do it.

I hope it's born healthy.

I'm happy even if I freeze to death.

Let's try the thing the mice couldn't do.

Even the mice couldn't do it, so how can we?

Before we die.

GONG RYONG'S 10TH DAY

WHEN THE STARS GOSSIP

They're no longer getting oxygen.

If we don't send a rescue ship today,

we'll lose both the commander and the tourist.

He's a complete idiot!

Please get them to launch

the rescue ship right away.

I will never let Ryong die.

We're going to launch the Maru toward the ILS orbit.

We need international cooperation.

This is the fastest way to get to them.

Please let me go.

Even if you made it there,

it'd be a gamble with all the systems down.

Worst-case scenario, you might crash right into the station.

If you'll let me,

I want to go to rescue the commander and the tourist too.
