Guy?

I know you can hear me.

I need you to do something.

Guy, you need to trust me.

You need to wake up!

Harry? Harry?

Harry? Are you there? Come in.

Harry?

Harry! Come back to me, when I need you.

You bugger, Harry.

No, no, no. Come on. I'm still...

Don't lose me. Come on.

What the fu... please...

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, you stupid...

Come on. Come on.

Okay. Okay. Alright.

Don't be serious. Don't be serious.

You can breathe.

You can breathe.

You can breathe, Guy. Come on.

Don't look at the dial.

You can breathe. You can breathe.

Deep Breaths. Deep, deep breaths.

Come on.

Fylingdales? Harry?

Harry? Fylingdales? Fylingdales, I'm here.

Hermes do you...?

Come in... Harry, I can't...

Harry, I can't understand you.

You are breaking up too badly.

Harry?

How do I fix this? Oh, sh*t!

Oh God!

Great going, Guy. Well done.

Sh*t.

What are you? What are you? What are you?

Well. Come on, Hermes.

OK! There we are. It's coming. Come on.

Yes.

Hermes?

Damn.

Come on. Come on.

Sh*t!

Come on. Shh!

I love you, Lottie.

That's how you do it!

That's how you do it!

That's not right! That's not right!

Hermes, this is Fylingdales.

Are you receiving me?

I repeat:
Hermes, this is Fylingdales.

Guy, it's Harry.

Would you respond what's happening!

Harry! Harry!

Oh! Thank Christ!

Where the bloody hell were you?

I was taking a flight to France

on my day off now.

Where the hell you think I was? Where were you?

We thought we'd lost you, we couldn't radio you.

Don't you dare make me go through it again.

You have frightened us enough on this flight.

Harry, Harry is...

is Lottie there? Is she with you?

No, she isn't in the room right now, Guy.

I think I must be losing oxygen.

Harry, dial's going crazy.

Everything was fine, and ah...

I can't remember the last few minutes.

What the hell went wrong?

How do I fix this?

We will take look at it, Guy.

We lost you just before the pre-flight.

We received no telemetry from Hermes,

before the system was rebooted.

Graham and team are going through everything as quickly

as they can to solve this to find how to get it right.

There aren't too many options, Guy.

I've never seen Graham move so fast.

He is bringing in sweat. You'd be impressed.

I need you to get details, Guy.

Guy, be specific.

Alright. I really don't know the specifics.

The suit vented oxygen,

there will be nothing to breathe. I...

I got blacked-out.

How long did you lose me for?

We have no indication here that you blacked out.

Doc, you reading this?

What are medical saying?

Harry?

Hold on, Guy. We're gonna answer for you.

Harry, don't tell me to hold. Not now.

We lost medical when we lost you.

It's gonna take a few to figure this one out.

I guess that you were out two minutes.

At most three. How do you feel?

Three... three minutes?

Harry, felt longer than three minutes.

I've lost half my oxygen.

I just had to fix the suit's

electrical circuits.

That is if it worked, don't know.

I haven't tested it.

Actually I don't know if I can test it up here. Can you?

We will check the diagnostics.

Why the hell did the suit fail? Hmm?

Don't you chaps meant to test these things?

I wouldn't want to guess. Not until the team

is done trolling through the readout.

Can you work faster?

I'm struggling to breathe a bit.

Harry? Chest is feeling really tight.

Come on.

Guy? I'm slightly worried what

the Doc is telling me.

Be aware you maybe in the beginning of a hypoxia.

We need you to act fast on this.

First thing is first.

What does your oxygen read?

Says 21, figures two and one.

But I'm currently only breathing

oxygen in the capsule, Harry.

We know, Guy. But that's not going to be enough.

It's not designed for longtime life support without the suit.

I'm not intending to be up here that long though.

We need to get you more oxygen. Take it easy. Slow breaths.

Graham's checking the circuits.

Hopefully you fixed them.

For the moment breathe easy.

Calm and slow. Calm and slow.

You are missing this view, Harry. It's beautiful.

I can see everything. Every cloud.

Every river.

Each city alike with life and color.

Oh, please! Do keep on roping it in.

I will.

Right to the moment you will punch me.

Sounds about right.

Now, I know you might slack off,

but how about you shoot some film for us?

Now that you have that beautiful view to look at,

actually do some work up there.

We are looking forward to those high

altitude shots you have been taking.

Six minutes down, four to go.

Good. take what you can and don't waste it.

That's a shame, Harry.

If you hadn't changed you mind

about that desk job...

after you had been a kerosene jockey...

You could have been up here.

I'm not ashamed. Not ashamed at all.

I just lost faith in what we were doing,

and who we were doing it for.

But I do miss the Americans RB45.

What a wonderful large bird.

How's the wife?

I see you haven't lost your sense of humor up there.

That the ones I can only choose.

What do you expect? Bad influence like you around?

Do you know, what your problem is Taylor, Old boy?

You could never take orders from someone...

unless you respected them and

believed in the cause.

And that's my friend, is why you are up there

having all the fun and I'm down here..

It's certainly not fun now.

Turns out, today isn't my day.

I rather be flying 45s again with you.

Maybe, without the Americans,

telling us what to do.

Looking forward to Gin & Tonic when you get me back.

It's a deal.

Harry?

Yes, Guy?

Is there a chance I could

talk to Lottie again?

You spoke her a few hours ago.

You have to wait until you land.

Don't worry, Guy.

Keep me updated.

Six hours, 130 miles up.

Four times around the world.

It's enough for me.

Hermes, this is Graham. How are you, Taylor?

Oh! I'm splendid, Graham.

Just waiting on you how to get back home.

I've been watching everything carefully.

But I need you to confirm a few readings before we start.

Roger that.

We've been just going through the diagnostics now.

It's saying Oxygen is at 19 still?

One-nine. Is that correct?

Ah... correct.

Good. That seems to be holding steady now.

Now, the fuel level?

It says 30, figures three-zero.

That is correct.

Telemetry tell me you are

ten degrees to pour port.

Can you correct it?

Oh! Graham? There is no response

from the control stick.

Ah! Right. Hold please.

No, Gra...

Graham... don't ask me to hold.

If there is a problem just tell me.

There's nothing we can see on a readout down here.

Hermes still looks good for re-entry.

Alright.

I really need you to put my wife back on, Harry.

I can't.

Please put her back on.

Not right now.

But, we'll try and get her here.

Guy, do me a favor.

Checkout your flight manual. Page 24.

To my Spaceman, I love you Fly safe

Love Lottie

I'm going up.

You got through!?

I did.

Harry said yes, so it's me.

Oh! I'm so happy for you.

For us, Lottie,

this is for our sake.

This is the beginning of something big...
