Capsule Page #5

You feelin' okay, Taylor?

You almost... you almost sound concerned.

I am concerned.

We believe the combination of lack of air and your daunting

coldness will almost certainly affect your capabilities.

So how about concentrating for me, will ya?

I am concentrating.

Much as I sensibly can.

Listen, Taylor.

We are willing to help you,

but need you to do somethin' for us.

We'll affect a safe re-entry if you

land on an area of our choosing.

That way we can intercept you

and bring you in for safety.

If you are not a commie,

then why are even thinkin' about it?

You get home. We find out the truth. Everyone wins.

Are you there, Taylor?

Yeah, I'm here. Just...

You have an answer for me Mr.Taylor?

Let me speak with Harry at Fylingdales.

No. I can't do that.

I've to talk to Harry. That's my condition.

Without that I'm not willing

to accept your offer.

We can entrance safe entry. As fas as I can tell,

you do not have any further options.

It's time to get off the fence and do something.

You are either with us or against us.

Which is it, Taylor?

You haven't exactly left me with much choice.

Where do you want me to land?

Atlantic Ocean. One of our Navy craft...

USS Borie will meet you there.

She's already been deployed to the area.

Should be there to pick you up when you splash down.

So what... what happens now?

I'm gonna put you over to one of my colleagues at NASA...

Bob Allija.

He has some calculations to run to work your problem.

And... and that's it?

Of course, Taylor.

Now I've your insurance you'll do as I ask.

Hmm.

Good luck.

Hermes, this is Houston.

Are you receiving me?

Houston... Houston this is Hermes.

I'm... I'm receiving you. Bob is it?

Yes... yes it is. Nice to meet you, Commander Taylor.

Oh! Guy, please. Please call me guy.

Copy that.

I have been advised, I'll to taking you through the procedure

for re-entry based on the calculations I've made.

I'm not quite at speed with the Hermes design.

There will be some assumptions on my part.

So please forgive me.

Roger that.

What do you need me to do?

Let's start with the fuel level, Guy.

A reading...

Ten, figures One-Zero.

Alright, noted.

I'm on 4% oxygen, Bob.

Can we speed this up a little bit?

It's rather getting cold in here.

Alright, I'll try to cut this

down to the bear minimum.

Roger that.

Everything from now on, will be time critical.

Right. Understood.

Pitch angle minus 466, Roll angle minus 12.321.

Yaw 9.418. Turn 1 minute 10 seconds.

Pitch minus 113, burn for 60 seconds.

Roger that.

Are you sure, we should be planning

for graph for 60 seconds, Bob?

You have a problems with that?

I don't know, I...

No... no you know what?

It will suit me in order.

Are you ready?

On my mark, 20 seconds.

Ten seconds, mark. This is it, Guy.

We gonna bring you home.

Roger that.

Initiating 60 degree starboard roll.

You need to lock down the thrusters.

The tracking data looks good, Guy.

I'm at the pre-rotation.

Perfect. Now on my mark, 10 second burn and...

Three, two, one. Mark.

Bob? Houston, Houston come in!

Come in. Come in Bob!

Downward...

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Bob!

Put your seat...

Hello? Hello?

I can't hear you, but thank you.

Hermes, come in! Can you hear me?

Hermes. Guy, come in. Please, we can hear you... where?

You are within range.

We tried in vain through Honduras.

That wasn't enough to get you.

You are far off from where we expected.

You were drifting over Russia.

The Russians saw me, Harry.

They weren't too pleased.

I think, maybe they even attacked me with God knows what.

Where are you now? What are you doing?

I have started re-entry procedure.

The Americans... the Americans helped me.

The Americans? What the Americans!? Charlotte, no, no, no!

I've a right to be here.

You don't have a right to be here. Out.

Guy! You have to leave. get out of here.

No, Harry! Let her speak.

Just mate let her be here.

Just let her be here. Just for a moment.

I won't take long. I promise.

But, I need to... need to speak to her.

I have to hear her. Please.

Fine, but just for a moment.

I'm worried. Are you alright, Guy.

You're breathing heavily.

Lottie, I am fine.

I am fine. I'm alright. I'm fine.

You know, things have been better.

But please don't worry.

I am with you, Guy.

I am always with you.

Don't. You gonna me cry, Lottie.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no, no. Don't be.

I've waited far too long to hear your voice.

I need you.

I need too too.

I pictured you, you know?

I pictured your face.

You... you been here with me.

You been here the whole time.

By my side.

Lottie, darling?

I can do this.

Harry can tell you that I'm coming home.

Won't you, mate?

Lottie? Lottie? You know that I love you.

I love you too.

Goodbye.

No. Not goodbye.

Never "goodbye" but "I will see you soon".

Guy, you there? Where did they say you are going to land?

In the Atlantic somewhere. I don't know...

They said the USS Borie...

the USS Borie is going to pick me up.

Atlantic? You are over Russia right now!

No... no that's wrong.

I must be over the Atlantic somewhere. Harry?

I've been a while with the Americans ever since we lost you.

You can't have been speaking with them.

O God! I think, I'm entering the atmosphere.

Guy? Guy, can you hear me?

Guy, say it again!

Who have you been talking to?

Guy, who have you been talking to?

Guy...!

Come in, Guy. Can you hear me?

Please come in. Talk to me.

Oh my God!

Tyuratam Space Center, Kazakhstan USSR.

Unfortunately, he is in meeting all day.

I ask him to call you. Yes, yes. Goodbye.

Makarova?

Yes, Major.

General Desyatkov.

Major.

It want to see it.

It should be ready by now.

Major. Everything is ready.

Thank you.

No, I must be over the Atlantic. Harry?

Oh God! I'm entering the atmosphere!

Oh God!

Oh God! Sh*t! What is that?

What just hit me! It's going to hit me.

It's a f***ing American craft!

Hermes. Hermes is severely damaged.

I'm getting warning lights all over the dashboard.

It's like Guy Fawkes lighted here.

I am in the upper layers of the atmosphere.

It's getting unbelievably hot here now.

Something... something isn't right.

It's not coming. Nothing is happening.

This shouldn't be happening!

The parachutes haven't deployed!

I'm frightened. Lottie, I...

Thank you.
