Kiska, your big day has arrived.

The subjects are coming in two hours.

Time to get up.

Krasótka, you must get up.

Arise, Anastasia. Mwah.

I heard you up and was hoping you were sleepwalking again.

- One more hour. - No more sleep.

Ah, Leo.

This will make you more sleepy.

[music fades]

- Oh, boy. - What?

It says that military intelligence,

our captain, is attached to this experiment

because this technology, if effective,

is meant to aid our soldiers in the field in their fight

against all enemies of the Soviet Union.

- The Red Army. - I know, I know.

[Anna] You're taking me seriously this time.

What does it say about the captain?

It says that he was a regular infantryman,

born and raised in Donetsk,

fell back with his unit to defend Stalingrad.

While there, was given his officer's commission

after numerous acts of bravery,

was also awarded Za Boevye Zaslugi for battle merit

and Za Otvagu for courage.

I thought they just sent a lowly prison guard,

but a captain of military intelligence?

- I know. - War hero, no less.

This is big, Anna.

Leo, do you think this captain

knows what happened to you at your clinic?

Love, I just want to know if you think what happened

may have leaked.

- Uncle said he took care of it. - Yes, yes.

I know that your uncle made your paperwork disappear.

But maybe people talked about it.

[Leo] This is the Soviet Union.

Everyone talks, and no one says anything.

Should we reach out to your uncle to see

what he thinks about it?

Maybe I could send him a note.

- Will they read it, Leo? - I will send it to his home

and not KGB headquarters in Moscow.

He will know how we should handle this captain.

Or maybe, if need be, he could assist us handling him.

There is no need to worry, Anna.

They think this study is important.

Hence this captain. So if...

when it goes well, the world will be your oyster.

- Still doesn't ease my anxiety. - It should.

Once the party sees what an asset you are for them,

then only the sky is the limit for you.

Trust me. I know how these men think.

Yes, these men.

My advice, which is the same advice my Uncle Oleg

has given to me many times,

is to play nice with this captain.

Tell him whatever it is he wants to hear.

You never know what he can do for you.

For us. Time to go.

Let me finish.

Leo, did you take your pills?

Uh, no. Where are they?

If you do comply, then after the 30 days,

You simply cannot beat them.

[Anna] Leo, please.

Don't you have to clean up the surgical area?

Yes, Doctor.

Right away.

Excuse me.

[Anna] These subjects must be in a controlled environment.

And if they are gripped with an existential fear of you,

we will not be able to get the most conclusive result

from this experiment.

I understand.

Since they are only four subjects,

why did Moscow decide to give them the numbers

3, 4, 5, and 6?

Life in Gulag can, at times, be very hierarchical.

And so, the men will fight to be number one or number two.

In my experience, no one fights to be number three.

Fascinating psychology.

My job and your job are very similar, Doctor.

You study the minds of men.

And I put it into practice.

You see, I must understand how the minds of men work

in order to control them.

And by controlling them, keep us all safe.

Of course. I just can't place where I know this man.

The guard is about to leave,

They're right there.

You two must submit your blood and urine samples, as well.

Excuse me? That is highly unorthodox.

Since you're the observers of this experiment,

they just want to make sure that you're not

under the influence of any substances.

Trust me,

this is just more bureaucratic nonsense from Moscow.

No, thank you.

[Anna] Can we have some privacy, please?

[sighs] Leo, we cannot submit your blood.

Your medication will show up.

What choice do we have?

I will have to send two vials of my blood.

Anna, that won't fool anyone.

I know. But at least it will give us time.

[Anna] Day 1 went very well.

The subjects quickly got settled into their new environment.

There was a general sense of unease

when the gas was introduced,

but once the subjects realized it was harmless,

they adapted very well.

As for the staff, Security Officer Sokolov

has been very diligent and thorough

in informing me of the security protocols for the experiment.

His attention to detail has been especially helpful.

My assistant, Dr. Leo Antonoff, has performed admirably.

He implanted the shock devices

in all of the subjects without incident.

If the patients don't cooperate with our testing,

we will use the shock devices to enforce compliance.

We can change the shock intensity

and single out the patients depending on the situation.

[Yegor] If you don't mind me asking,

how long have you and Leo been married?

Ten years this May.

- Pre-war. - Yes.

I met Leo in university after my parents

and I moved back to the Soviet Union from Madrid.

And you, Captain? Are you married?

I am married to my work.

Yes, it was. But we all had a part to play.

Yes, but to be pining away when a loved one...

I wasn't pining away.

I was actively helping with the defense of Moscow.

In fact, I was in your line of work.

Were you?

Yes, I was fresh out of university,

and they made me an intelligence analyst.

I would go over the intel reports

that came in and score the veracity of the asset.

I had no idea.

seemed less affected by the gas than the others.

He was drowsy and on the verge of falling asleep.

The other subjects were sluggish, as well,

but not to such a great degree, so we increased the amount

Each subject is only allowed one ration

that will be dispensed after testing.

You must complete the test in order to receive your rations.

Well done, Subject 4.

Subject 6...

His appetite is much larger than the other subjects,

More food.

I do good on test. More food.

[Anna] I'm sorry. That isn't how it works.

The rations are the same for all participants.

This is ridiculous!

I do everything you ask me to do,

yet you barely feed me!

My colleague Dr. Leo Antonoff and I are contemplating

either increasing or decreasing the gas

to see if that affects Subject 4's hunger and metabolism.

One thing that might be a factor is that

Subject 4's physical strength might have put him

in a position of dominance in the Gulag where he could,

through intimidation or violence,

increase his food intake at the expense of other inmates.

That is not possible here,

and thus his reduced caloric intake

and not the gas might be the reason of his deterioration.

No, it's just so incredible.

- I know. - I'm gonna be a father.

Leo.

That means you really cannot drink anymore.

You cannot self-medicate.

You need to keep yourself together until all this is over.

Okay?

[Subject 3] Dostoyevsky once wrote

"The soul is healed by being with children."

Do you have children?

Yes.

Which is it?

- Yes. - Yes.

What will you name this child?

My father's name was Pyotr. I always liked Pyotr.

Nikolai, after my father.

Do you like Yegor?

What about Yuri?

- I like Yuri. - Good.

Because my name is Yuri.

Yuri Antonovich Karlov.

Anna. Leo.

Do you want to go to the heavens with me?

[footsteps rapidly approaching]

Leo. What's wrong?

[Leo] Yuri, that son of a bitch. That son of a bitch!

What happened?

Do you remember about two years ago in April,

I think at my uncle's house, a large dinner party.

Lots of bigwigs from the Communist Party were there.

It was an unusually hot night. My uncle had a party.

- Do you remember? - No. Why?

Remember that fat bureaucrat?

- The one we call the Walrus? - Golovkin?

Yes! Golovkin was there and he got drunk

and fell asleep on the balcony.

And your uncle said that his snoring sounded

like an air raid siren.

Mm-hmm.

What does this have to do with anything?

At that party, we talked to a man.

It was so hot. We... We talked on the roof.

He was working in a space program

in research and development.

And he was going on about the stars, planets and all of that.

- On the walk home, you said... - He was a genius.

I remember.

His name was Yuri.

Karlov.

Yes.

What makes you think of this man?

That is Yuri Karlov.

Are you crazy? What are you saying?

- It can't be him. - It's him.

I heard him saying his first name days ago,

but none of it clicked until now.

It's impossible.

- Anna, it's him. I know it. - Leo.

Yuri Karlov is brilliant.

Subject 3 is a lot of things,

but I'm not sure brilliant is one of them.

Watch him.

Attention, Dr. Yuri Karlov,

please report to the testing station.

It's him.

- It really is him. - I told you.

What is he doing here?

Do you think he got caught up in a purge?

When Subject 4 went mad,

he was hearing something about Yegor,

and he was saying that he was a liar

and saying something about space, going to space.

Yes. That was strange.

- What is it? Leo. - Shh.

- Can you explain it to me? - Shh, shh.

What are you doing?

[music playing loudly]

Do you feel that you are really pregnant?

What?

Do you think you're pregnant?

Yes.

Maybe. I-I don't know. Why?

A pregnancy. My uncle.

We want one to be true and one to be false.

And now Karlov.

You don't find any of this curious?

Hundreds of suspicions don't make a proof,

- and you know that, Leo. - Anna, this is not some

paranoid delusion of grandeur or drunken fairy tale.

I know this world. I know these types of people.

They are capable of anything.

I should have realized that they were listening to us long ago.

My uncle taught me better than that.

Okay, okay, just try and think this through rationally.

Why would Yegor tell me that I am pregnant

or that your uncle is dying?

If I am not pregnant and your uncle isn't dying,

we will know soon enough when this experiment is over.

I know that you don't trust my judgment right now,

but ask yourself this question.

Do you trust Yegor?

No.

And I don't think I trust myself anymore.

But that doesn't mean that Yegor has lied

about me being pregnant.

None of this is that what it seems.

You're the psychologist. You know what is he doing.

For some reason, he's flooding us with lies.

Drown the truth.

- The truth. - Yes, truth.

Do you even want to be a father?

Of course.

Do you want to be a mother?

Honestly?

I didn't.

With the way things have been with you,

with the incident at the clinic, I didn't because I was scared.

And all of that didn't matter, though, because I thought

that the possibility of me getting pregnant

didn't even exist.

But now, I don't know. It makes me feel happy

to think that I have a child inside of me.

This child. Our child. This is possibility.

This is hope. This is everything.

Because I feel so irrationally overwhelmed by hope and joy,

even in the face of your sickness.

Even after all we've been through,

even in the middle of this madness.

Shh, shh.

That's how.

That's why I think that I am really pregnant.

Leo, you're sure there isn't another reason for you

to be so resistant to this news?

I am resistant to the lies.

I am resistant to half truths.

I am resistant to Yegor,

to the Red Army and all it represents.

We live in the world full of lies where truth has no meaning.

How can we even hope to live our genuine life

with rational decisions when we are forever kept far

from verifying or knowing the truth?

The valve is set.

That door stays shut until the 30 days are complete.

Subject 4 was yelling that he knew you

and that you said he'd go to space.

He's gone mad.

Just tell us the truth, Yegor.

Just tell us one true thing.

The truth is that I'm still in charge here.

And this experiment is still operational.

[Anna] Things are deteriorating quickly and everything

has become seemingly impossible.

The experiment hangs by a thread

and it's really difficult to know what to do.

What if we should continue?

♪♪

- This is not operational! - Anna, stop!

Stop!

[Anna] Yegor.

Before we go in there, you need to tell us the truth.

We can't fix this if you don't tell us what is going on.

When you do work for Moscow,

whether it be for the Committee or the Red Army or the KGB,

everything is like a giant Matryoshka doll

where little lies are contained in bigger lies

and bigger lies and bigger lies.

So open up one of these dolls and explain to us

why we would need internal security for this experiment.

Subject 3 is no ordinary prisoner.

In fact, he is no prisoner at all.

His name is Yuri Karlov, and he's a very powerful man

in the Space Exploration division

of the Soviet Space Agency.

Is this just another one of your lies, Yegor?

Subject 4 is in the chamber to keep Karlov safe.

And now that this experiment has failed, none of us are safe.

What do we do now?

We try and salvage the situation...

and save our own asses.
