01x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

I knew him then.

Niko Borowski.

Thirty years ago.

He said I reminded him

of his little sister.

I was there, JJ.

With Grandpa in mission control when

the capsule disappeared from the radars.

At home, he made me promise

to forget it all

about the mission and the capsule.

We never talked about it ever again.

A GIRL AND AN ASTRONAU

He doesn't respond to stimuli.

But he sometimes opens his eyes.

It doesn't mean anything, Nadia.

This is from

an hour ago.

And these are from 30 years ago.

Do you see?

His body.

He's barely aged a day, Nadia.

We'll receive

a f*cking Nobel Prize for that.

And what did you give him?

Nothing that could have

produced such a reaction.

He's just pretending?

For now, we're assuming this is

some kind of

defense response from the body.

- Are sure about that?

- We're verifying that.

Listen, this is the first time

I've ever seen anything like it.

We'll try to get him out of this.

I have no idea what might happen next.

You have to get him up and running again.

We'll do everything possible.

Don't f*ck this up.

Homie, stop.

Stopping.

Show me all the news with the tag "Niko"

from the last six hours.

Of course, Marta.

There's 356 pieces of news,

including 67 in Polish.

- Show me the latest one.

- Showing now.

The corporation SkyCom

has classified all information

from the last 30 years

about the capsule "Niko-One"

claiming reasons

of secrecy and confidentiality.

The Polish government also declines

to comment on this matter.

- Turn it off.

- Right away.

Do you know that guy?

Who?

The astronaut.

I've seen your photos in the album.

What's going on between you and Mom, huh?

What do you mean by that?

Are you getting a divorce?

Who said anything like that?

- You.

- Yeah?

When?

Mom, you've been together how many years?

Thirty-two?

For the past ten years,

you've been treating dad like a friend.

For the past five,

the two of you have barely spoken.

All last year, you're only home

when he's gone away.

And for the last three days,

you've been so pissed off

that dad cowers at the sight of you.

What am I not getting here, Mom?

Do you still love him?

Don't jump to any conclusions.

I'm going to work.

You always know

how to give me the brush-off, huh?

I love him.

Feel better now?

You don't really know what

that mission was actually about, do you?

What do you mean by that?

That Niko wasn't honest

with you either.

Tally one.

Tally, single Flanker.

Investigate.

I see the Russky.

Scratch, Lighthouse.

Confirm visual, single Flanker.

No maneuvering.

Two is targeted. Let's get him.

Bogdan, stay back.

Sierra-Uniform Two Seven,

you are on Polish territory.

Identify yourself.

I said, identify yourself.

f*cking Ivan.

I'm joining up!

f*ck,

you're not in a position to sh**t.

- Jetwash, watch out!

- I got it.

Get the f*ck out.

Kid. Bogdan. You good?

I'm good! f*cking hell.

Lighthouse, Scratch.

Flanker left our airspace.

He tried to f*ck me up.

If you don't have 100% visibility,

you don't sh**t.

I wanted to help you.

Don't make me laugh.

You f*cked up out there.

So, what? Did I f*cking crash?

You want to fight over Marta

or something, huh?

Who now?

Boguś,

is it just about p*ssy for you?

I'll back right off.

I don't have time for that, Niko.

But thank you.

I'm going to space!

f*cking Polish Army.

What the f*ck was that out there?

In the air, you're supposed to

be a threat to others, not to yourself.

It was all my fault, colonel, sir.

A miscommunication.

You were the wingman?

- Yeah.

- Speak up.

Yeah.

I've listened to the radio recording.

The leader attempted to take over,

you were supposed to stay back.

- I wanted to help

- I'm not done.

Why'd you push it?

I wanted to help if I was able to

We're not playing

"first come, first served."

Good job out there, Niko.

Thank you, sir. I gave it my all.

Dismissed.

Bogdan.

We could've lost

a plane and a pilot.

So, don't f*cking bullshit me

about helping a friend, are we clear?

Everyone makes mistakes.

Right, Dad?

Where'd you get that?

- What's that?

- Where did you get that?

Stigmata.

- I will find

- f*ck off.

Yes, sir! Yes, colonel, sir!

Listen, we almost f*cking crashed

and Crazy Ivan goes and says

his f*cking transmitter's been broken.

You get that, dude? Right from the start!

- What an absolute stooge

- Nikuś!

All right,

I'll see you later, buddy.

Trying to be a hotshot?

Hey!

"I gave it my all,

yes, sir, colonel, sir."

You're a brown-nosing master.

- I took the blame, didn't I?

- Why though?

Boguś, if you've got

a problem with your dad,

you two have to talk it out, yeah?

Right, gentlemen?

Sort it out with your dad,

instead of busting my f*cking ba*ls.

For f*ck's sake, guys, stop.

Mmm.

SKYCOM

PILOT MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION

f*ck.

Good day, Nadia.

PROJECT NIKO-1

Did you find it?

I don't know yet.

We're going to SkyCom.

Some privacy, please.

Are you going to check

on your sleeping prince?

Later.

You need to leave.

HELLO, MY SWEETHEART!

What do you even eat there, son?

I eat cuisine from all over.

Chinese noodles. Kebabs from Turkey.

Pierogies from Russia.

I ran into Karolina Borowska.

She's back from London.

She married yet?

Don't know.

You two would be good together.

That would

almost be incestuous.

I don't want you to go through life

all alone.

You should have someone.

I could.

But it's not a must.

How'd you get hurt?

I hit myself.

- On what?

- Nothing.

What about you?

Mmm. I don't remember.

Did he do this to you?

You know

that you can always call me?

I don't care what time it is.

I'll get you some pie.

Have you ever done something that

you then later ended up really regretting?

Millions of times.

Be serious with me a second.

Mmm

I told someone

close to me that I didn't love him.

Even though it wasn't true.

Who was it?

My dad.

Yesterday, with my, um

Things didn't go the way I wanted

with my friends either.

Something happen?

Mmm, nothing important, really.

Okay.

- I can tell.

- I don't want to talk about it anymore.

I did something stupid yesterday too.

You slept with Niko?

- You b*tch.

- Mmm.

Niko and I jumped off a bridge.

In the river.

And this is the f*cking moment

when even I'm speechless.

- And we were with Bogdan.

- No, no. No.

This is the point.

Marta, I'm begging you.

Anyone but a pilot.

He'll promise you the world

and you'll end up with f*ck-all.

Okay, but I'm not looking for a boyfriend!

Something tells me

not to believe a word you say.

- Why off a bridge though?

- And why not, huh?

- Where you going?

- Got an errand to run.

Does keeping secrets

turn you on or something?

I was just thinking about you!

- And suddenly you're right there.

- I'm waiting for a taxi.

- And I've got a second helmet for girls.

- Is it getting any use?

You'd be surprised.

What happened to you?

I fought for you.

Yeah? Bad idea.

- You should see the face on the other guy.

- Uh I don't think so.

- Dinner tonight?

- I don't eat after 6:00.

- Girl, we jumped into a river.

- And I'm already starting to regret it.

- Go out with me.

- Are you always this persistent?

If I really care about something.

So, we do have something in common.

Can I help you, miss?

Sure, um, Olgierd Rybicki.

Mmm, my father.

He's in jail again.

We take care of the property,

so it doesn't go wild,

but who knows if he's ever coming back.

Thank you.

I know how to wake up Niko.

He had a fiancée?

Thirty years ago.

Do you think she was waiting for him?

I don't care about that.

But I'm sure

our astronaut will recognize her.

It's been 30 years.

Not for Niko. You understand?

To him, she's like a bridge

between two worlds.

You think she's still alive?

She'll in her fifties.

I have a friend in Special Forces.

He owes me.

That's it for today.

There's still ninety seconds left.

We want to dance.

- We've already paid for it.

- Ninety seconds more, please.

Marta!

You wanna dance? Go ahead and dance then!

- Hi.

- Hello, Marta.

Eight!

- Get it! Whoo!

- Get it!

- Nine!

- Nine!

No freaking way!

- Whoo!

- Yeah!

- Ten! Excellent!

- Are you serious?

- Oh, he's out. He's done. He's done.

- He's done.

Oh!

Hold it! Hold it!

Hold it! Hold it!

Hold it! Hold it!

There you are, finally!

- I've got a riddle.

- Mmm?

What's the difference

between a pig and a pilot?

Tell.

A pig doesn't become a pilot

after four beers.

Hey, come to the bathroom with me.

- Bye!

- Bye!

Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

I thought you'd never come.

Are you f*cking nuts?

Come outside for a sec.

Come on.

The view from here is much better.

You know what's up there?

Everything.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow.

Eternity.

The beginning and the end.

It goes on forever.

Hey!

Guys! We're moving the party.

Are you coming with?

- Give us a sec, yeah?

- Okay!

Company! To the cars!

Whoo! Let's go!

Whoo!

Come on!

- Are you surprised?

- Meh.

- "Meh"?

- It ain't all that much.

You think they've got

a cotton candy machine?

Oh, I love cotton candy!

You'll only f*ck up her life.

"You'll only f*ck up her life," huh?

You asked me to tell you when you're

about to have a head-on collision.

That's what I'm doing.

Well, thanks.

How long will you two last? A week, two?

Dude, seriously?

Niko,

just don't hurt her.

No prob.

- I mean it.

- You know, Boguś?

- I'm not f*cking backing off now.

- Hey! What is this? Hey!

Excuse me, gentlemen,

I'll handle this.

- What the f*ck are you doing?

- My good man,

- we just came to buy some tickets, yeah?

- What is the meaning of this? What?

- A hundred.

- No.

No? Two.

- Relax. And drink to our health.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Right.

- Three.

- All right. Okay, okay. All right.

- Beautiful.

- Be careful with the power!

- Okay! No worries.

Right. Right.

What's wrong?

Gentlemen!

Dęblin!

Let's go!

- Karola, you're coming with us.

- No.

- No, no! No thanks.

- You're coming. Come on!

- Come on!

- Have fun. I'm afraid of heights.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Okay.

All right, come on, let's move on.

Whoo-hoo!

He couldn't manage either.

Come on.

He He figured out that when you can

Wow!

This is f*cking epic!

- Hold on! Oh! Oh!

- So cool!

- Come here! Come on! Hey, let's race!

- Okay. Whoo!

- In the starting blocks? Yeah?

- In the starting blocks.

And the flag is up! Go!

Ladies and gentlemen, lap one! Whoo!

Lap two! Lap three and finish

- Finish Finish

- And I won!

- Hey But

- I won! I won! I won!

- No!

- Victory for Marta Rybicka with

her, um, beige racehorse!

Her beige horse.

The Poles want us

to hand over Borowski to them.

Immediately!

It's out of the question.

This is the official position

of the Polish Government.

I won't let him out of here in this state.

- He's their citizen, Nadia.

- Borowski is ours.

He signed a contract 30 years ago.

All right, we need to buy some time

to get him back on his feet.

Give the Poles

something in exchange, then.

More space on satellites.

Give them as much as they want.

What? You're negotiating?

What for?

Sergey,

you better keep your mouth shut.

- What did you say?

- All right, relax.

You screwed up the Niko-One mission

and you know it.

I created this project,

you little sh*t. From nothing!

You f*cking smashed it, huh?

Now it's broke.

Enough!

If you had waited back then,

if you had done a bunch more tests

Have you calmed down now?

Call Sorokin.

Hello, Pudovkin.

Hello, Boris.

Long time, no see.

According to

our unofficial information,

the Polish astronaut that went missing

30 years ago, Nikodem Borowski,

had undergone an experimental

sub-hibernation procedure,

which would allow the SkyCom corporation

to extend the human lifespan

by an average of 20 years.

- Homie

- Yes?

Play it again.

Time for your meds.

Playing.

Liars.

We gave them the best man we had

and they just went and f*cked it all up.

Ever wondered

what condition he was in

when they opened the capsule?

- Please stop.

- What?

- Please stop.

- What?

He must've been dried up

like a mummy, huh?

Karolina!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'll stop.

Come back.

Karolina,

come back.

Come back

Come back, I'm so sorry.

Karo?

Karolina, I'm coming in!

God! What's happened?

I f*cking love him!

I love him, Marta!

- I can't live without him.

- Karo, who are you talking about?

And now he's telling me that

I've got the completely wrong idea here.

Karolina, who did this to you?

Just leave me here.

Get out.

He's alive.

And he has excellent test results.

We want more information, Sergey.

Full access to data.

The board won't agree to this.

It's a private project.

We didn't take a penny

from the government.

And so what?

You have any idea how much it is

you owe me.

Anyway

I can still do

a little something to help you.

"Board membership."

Seriously?

You deserve more, Sergey.

Much more, my boy.

I was seven years old.

I used to spend days at the base.

My grandpa was a scientist.

He'd examine the pilots.

- But he did something else as well.

- What?

He experimented on lab rats.

He sub-hibernated them.

The effects weren't always successful,

but finally it started to work.

Their stem cells.

He noticed they changed,

adapting and gaining amazing features.

They were like a medicinal cure.

He wanted to use

Niko's cells to cure me too.

Do you know how to do it?

I only have a part of the notes.

Where's the rest?

We need to find them.

According to our unofficial information,

the Polish astronaut that went missing

30 years ago, Nikodem Borowski,

had undergone

- Muted.

I talked to Karolina.

She wants to bury Niko,

but the Russians still are refusing

to release the body.

Don't let him come

between us again, Marta.

Marta, I have a news piece

with the tag "Niko."

- Show it.

- Displaying.

According to our unofficial information,

the Polish astronaut that went missing

30 years ago, Nikodem

- Turning off.

I wanna see it.

- Show it.

- Displaying.

sub-hibernation treatment, which would

Which would allow what?

Tell me what happened there.

He's alive.
