Ironman, this is Keith.

Ironman, a Russian spacecraft

is making rendezvous with you.

Do you see

a Russian spacecraft? Come in.

Stoney, do you see

a Russian spacecraft?

I see him.

Good. Now 30 minutes ago

he made a change in orbit.

He is moving towards you

for rendezvous.

We don't know what he's going to do.

All you can do at this point

is watch him.

Watch him. Stoney, do you read me?

He...

He's stopping.

He's opening up.

He's coming out.

He wants me to do something.

I think he wants me

to open the hatch.

Stoney, what is your oxygen readout?

Your oxygen readout?

Oh, it's zero-zero.

No, no. No, that...

That can't be right. I'm...

I'm breathing something.

Now, Stoney, listen to me. I want you

to follow through with the Russian.

Don't wait for Dougherty.

- Is Dougherty here?

- Dougherty is not there.

The Russian is there.

He wants you to open your hatch.

Oh, God, I'm tired, Charles.

- I'm tired.

- Stoney, put on your helmet.

Open the hatch.

Open the hatch.

Open...

All right.

- Blow hatch.

- Negative, do not blow the hatch.

Open it with the lever,

the unlocking lever.

Do you read me, Stoney?

Stoney?

Flight, this is Rescue,

I've got their light.

Roger, Ted, you've got

their acq lights.

Blow hatch.

- Blow the hatch.

- Do not. Do not blow the hatch!

Hatch blown.

He can't get any closer, Buzz.

We have to go to him.

I've got visual on them now.

I'm gonna brake down to 10.

They're about 50 feet apart.

The Apollo hatch is open.

- Can you see the crew?

- Negative.

I'm gonna go in a little closer.

There's a light flashing

from the Russian ship.

Some guy's floating about 150 feet

below me. I'm going after him.

Ironman, this is Keith,

do you read me?

Come in, Ironman.

Ironman, this is Keith, come in.

Ironman One,

this is Keith, do you read?

Ironman, this is Keith,

do you read me?

Ironman, do you read me?

Keith, this is Rescue.

I'm in the Apollo.

The Russian got air to Stoney...

...and I've transferred him

to my oxygen.

He's all right, he's breathing.

And I've got Lloyd.

Ted, get back to the XRV

and prepare for re-entry.

Roger, I'm on my way.

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

...six, five, four, three, two, one.
