[pensive music playing]
[Marta] They told me that...
there was an explosion.
That you weren't coming back. That you were dead.
[sighs] And then a funeral...
But I don't remember it.
[scoffs] I died too, for a while.
- [Marta sighs] - I'm sorry.
[breathes sharply]
[breathes shakily]
It was only a few days ago,
right before the launch, when you told me you loved me.
[chuckles] No, Niko.
It's been longer than that.
[inhales deeply]
[exhales]
I'm married.
[somber music playing]
I have a kid.
So then, are you happy?
[sighs]
We've been together for 30 years now.
Bogdan.
[thunder rumbling]
[sighs]
What a piece of shit.
He's been there.
A man of his word.
And I'm not?
Here I am.
Let's just pick up right where we left off.
[sighs]
Give me time to adjust.
- I need you. - [Marta sighs]
[gasps]
[sighs loudly]
You'll be safe here.
[sniffles] Karolina will take care of you.
[sniffles]
I just need some time to collect my thoughts.
A GIRL AND AN ASTRONAUT
[device beeping]
- [man] Satellite view. - [switches clicking]
Stealth final check.
[automated voice] All systems clear.
Commence beta test stealth.
Yes, sir, I'm ready.
We will lose contact after activation.
You'll be in charge of operating the system,
just like during training. Is that understood?
Yes, sir.
Good luck, captain.
I'll see you all soon.
[automated voice] Stealth procedure activated and operational.
Connection lost.
Grandpa, where is Niko?
This is all part of the plan. Don't worry, my little one.
- [Sergey] Radar readings? - He's not visible in the US.
[man] Nor in India.
Australia as well. Nothing in Spain.
[beeping]
How does he look?
Well, the last parameters are normal.
He's still there. I'm sure of it.
[Sergey] We'll be sure in six hours.
You, come with me.

[call chiming]
Pick it up.
Have you found Niko?
[JJ] I'm still looking for him.
You really want to give him to the Feds? Just like that?
[JJ] I need to search elsewhere.
Did you at least find your grandfather's notes?
No, not yet.
[pensive music playing]
Find the astronaut, now.
[exhales]
[crackling]
[crackling intensifies]
[hinges creaking]
[door hisses open]
[mysterious music playing]
[door beeps, opens]
[Homie] Hello, JJ.
[Nadia] I can't open it on any of these.
This model's from the year 2029.
This is the oldest one I could find.
What the fuck!
- [Nadia sighs] - I know a tech wizard.
- [Nadia sobbing] - He will help.
[Nadia] Nothing is going right, JJ.
[JJ sighs] Nadia.
Hey.
It's okay.
We will find Borowski and we will cure you.
[breathes deeply]
[door beeps, opens]
Has she found the notes yet?
No.
But we have someone's pen drive.
Professor Davidov's notes. This is his pen drive.
[chuckles softly] Bravo, JJ.
You did a great job.
You're going to Poland.
Provide special forces backup. Do whatever is necessary.
But Borowski...
I need him alive.
His body is worth billions.
Understood?
You've got to save Nadia.
Then the astronaut is all yours.
[tense music playing]
I give you my word.
[drone whirring]
[Sergey] I see you're playing both sides.
And you're spying.
I can already see the expression on Nadia.
If you tell her, I will kill you.
[Niko] Karolina.
Karo...
[sentimental music playing]
[Karolina breathes nervously]
Niko...
[exhales emotionally]
[sobs]
Oh shit!
[chuckles]
[exhales, sniffles]
Wiktor has spoken to Rewicz.
SkyCom's contract confirms their exclusive rights to you.
[exhales, sniffles]
No, they don't. They're fucking liars.
I should return to base.
It's not there.
[Niko exhales] What?
Your base is gone, Niko.
Nothing is the way it used to be.
[lighter clicks]
Can I bum a smoke?
[Karolina] You smoke?
Come on. Please?
[chuckles]
[automated voice] Thirty-five seconds.
[tense music playing]
Thirty seconds.

Twenty-five seconds.
[inhales deeply] I'm scared.
Don't worry. They've practiced it a million times.
[automated voice] Twenty seconds.
I can't... I can't bear to watch.
I have to go inside.
[automated voice] Fifteen seconds.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,
four, three, two, one, zero.
Stealth procedure complete.
Hello, Earth? Mission control?
[all cheering]
[automated voice] Connection active.
Captain, we hear you.
Welcome back.
How are you feeling up there?
Never been better.
[sighs] What a motherfucker you are.
Status?
All systems operational.
[Niko] Nadia. You there?
I am, yes.
I promised you something, I think.
Didn't I?
[sentimental music playing]
[Niko] Welcome to space.
[gasps]
Thank you so much, Nikodem. Thank you for remembering.
[Niko] A promise is a promise, Nadia.
Niko, it's now time for the second stage of the test.
- Are you ready? - [Niko] Yes, sir.
[Davidov] We can start.
Code zero.
[pensive music playing]
Everyone without authorization has to leave.
Get out!
[tense music playing]
[Davidov] Set the time.
[Niko] Set to 24 hours.
Connect block 2, like you did during training.

[automated voice] Warning. Connection lost.
[Davidov] Data transfer has been cancelled.
I don't know what happened.
[automated voice] Sub-hibernation in progress.
- Time: 30 years. - [heart beating slowly]
[alarm blaring]
We've lost him.
[Sergey] Captain? You there?
Niko!
Do you copy?
[man] Shit! We've lost him!
Professor, are you watching him?
Data transfer cancelled. I don't know what's going on.
I can't see anything.
Nothing.
[man 2] He's not there.
[Sergey] We'll wait 24 hours.
That's how long the sub-hibernation was supposed to take.
Hopefully, he reappears on the radars.
[Bogdan] And what if he doesn't reappear?
What if you don't get back in touch with Niko? What happens then?
We will have to write up a report.
Fuck your report.
You have to save him!
[alarm continues blaring]

[monitors beeping]
[exhales]
[exhales loudly]
[breathes deeply]
I was at the hospital. To get you.
You could've at least called me.
Marta, where do you and I stand?
Old Bogdan or young Niko?
I can't leave him like that.
Not now.
Can't or you don't want to?
Right. I don't want to.
Hey.
This isn't about me.
You just can't handle losing to him again.
- It was always only about you. - [scoffs]
You're so sure about that?
You think I'll let you go to him just like that?
That's not gonna happen.
I wasn't asking for your permission.
Oh God, for fuck's sake! Marta, I love you.
[footsteps receding]
[suspenseful music playing]
They're gone.
[Wiktor] They're gone. And they won't be back.
Those motherfuckers will keep chasing Niko until they get him.
[Wiktor grunting]
[breathes deeply]
Do something.
[strained breathing]
I can't do anything.
[Karolina moans]
[gasping] Do I look like I can do something?
I don't care how you do it. Just do it.
[Wiktor breathing deeply]
[lights flickering]
[Niko exhales]
[train horn sounding]
[Bogdan] I knew I'd find you here.
[laughing]
[Bogdan sighs]
[both laugh]
[breathing heavily]
- You look like a dried up old prick. - [sighs]
I was there at the mission control.
I saw fucking everything.
They fucked it up.
I've never had hallucinations like that before.
[sighs]
You stole her from me.
[breathing shakily]
[somber music playing]
[breathing emotionally]
[Marta] Why is it taking so long?
Niko disappeared from our radar.
There was an explosion.
That's what the readings show.
Niko is dead.
I'm sorry.
- No. [sobs] - Marta... Marta...
[Marta sobbing]
Stole? I stole her? Please! [laughs]
[breathing heavily]
We were together.
I wanted to come back here.
[sighs]
And start a family with her.
[exhales sharply]
Leave my wife the fuck alone, Niko, huh? [chuckles]
[inhales deeply] Marta was and is mine.
[laughs]
Understand?
[grunts]
The feds came to see me. Understand?
- I want to help you disappear. - [grunts] No thanks. I'm good.
[grunting]
[grunts]
[groans]
[grunting]
SkyCom won't allow your escape.
Understand?
Is that what you think? I should hide?
You want me gone, right?
Fat chance.

RECEPTION
[Wiktor] Lieutenant...
Nikodem Borowski...
Niko...
wasn't just the best pilot I've ever known.
He was most of all...
an impeccable person.
He was truly a real hero.
A patriot too.
That's why I won't say my goodbyes.

But rather, "See you later... son."

- Homie. - [Homie] Yes?
Show me photos in July from the year 2022.
[Homie] There are 24 photos. Display in chronological order?
Only the ones with Marta.
[Homie] Displaying.
[footsteps approaching]
Where is Niko?
Go fuck yourself.
[grunting]
[Oliwia grunting]
Is he with your wife? Right now?
- [grunting] - Daddy!
Your mom is in a dangerous position.
I will tell you everything. Just leave him.
[muffled yell]
[muffled yell, gasps]
[door opens]
[inhales deeply]
I have to talk to my father.
Wake him up.
That might take a little time.
[monitor beeping]
[drink pouring]
[grunts]
I'll wait.
[birds chirping]
Too early?
[chuckles]
[exhales] What time is it?
Doesn't matter.
It does matter. Because I've gotta take my medicine.
Homie used to remind me, but...
I've turned off all my electronics, just to be safe.
But...
are you sick or something?
I'll take care of you.
[chuckles]
God, you're still so young.
- [laughs] - Three years older than you are...
kiddo.
[both laugh]
[inhales deeply]
You've always been so cheesy.
[exhales]
[clicks tongue]
We should go.
It's really not safe here.
You're beautiful, you know?
- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.
- Yeah. - [both chuckle]
And I've missed you.
You missed me? Or just missed sex?
Mmm. Well, is there a difference?
[Marta chuckles softly]
[laughs]
[chuckles]
[exhales]
[Homie] Remember, you shouldn't give your encryption key to anyone.
Borowski...
is going to the Hel Peninsula.
Into the Wi-Fi free zone.
What's the problem? Are there any issues with the Poles?
We've got the last of the notes from Davidov.
[Sergey] That's great.
Not really.
See, look at this.
[breathing nervously] Ooh.
My further research into sub-hibernation brought new conclusions.
Everything so far indicates that I will not be able to cure you,
my dear granddaughter.
Haven't I sent a man into space?
For no reason at all.
That's how it is, Nadezhda Petrovna.
[inhales deeply]
Sub-hibernation does not have the effect we thought it had on stem cells.
Borowski's many things, but he's not the fucking Holy Grail.
He's been in space for 30 years!
He's the first man in history to do this! What more do you want, huh?
Sergey, we have already tested him inside and out.
We have all the data.
There's no more use for him. [snaps fingers]
All right. I need him, Boris!
But, Pudovkin, you still don't get it.
He's a threat to the national security of the country.
He knows about our classified technologies.
And he'll be happy to share it with someone else.
Don't do this, Boris.
Do you want me to continue helping you?
[intense music playing]
Then get out of my face.
Listen here!
Everyone, get out of here!
[music continues]
We're gonna get rid of him, that damn astronaut.
[Homie] Hello, Sergey.
[door closes]
You and I need to talk.

[Marta] It was always the same.
My dad would end up in jail, and I would wind up with a foster family.
He'd get out and take me back.
Then we'd come here.
It was our safe place.
Then his friends would start calling.
And then he'd get sent back to jail.

What came later...

You... You never told me very much about your father.

Long enough for me to fall in love with you, right, though?
She's a milf! Someone's robbing the cradle!
[men laugh]
[laughs] What's a guy like this...
- Let it go. - ...doing with a girl like that, anyway?
Ah, come on! Have you even seen what he looks like?

They insulted you.
Yes, they did. Yeah.
That's just life.
There's nothing you can do about it.
And so what, everything's changed since I've been gone
and yet everything's the same.
[seagulls cawing]
I could've died up there, you know.
But here I am.
I kept my word.
- [groans] - [Marta] Oh.

We should put something cold on it.
Some ice would probably help.
- Cold stuff? - Yeah.

You know, if it wasn't for me...
Marta?
Where is she?
[waves crashing]
[somber music playing]
[Marta] Thirty years, Niko.
So much has changed.
You haven't changed at all, but I'm completely different.
And, Bogdan, you asked me to choose.
I'm choosing myself.
It might be a mistake,
but even if it is...
it's my mistake to make.

It's just the beginning.
And the beginnings are always the best.
