We need to patch you in.
Hang on.

[Peter over speakers] Patching you in now.
[people applauding]
On behalf of the Euro Space Program and the Czech people,
189 days into your solo journey,
welcome back, Commander Procházka.
Commissioner Tuma. Hello from the outskirts of Jupiter.
I'm very excited to be talking to you from here.
It's so great to see you again. You look well.
It seems like the long wait is coming to an end.
[chuckles softly] Yes, that is correct.
The reason for this journey is right in front of me.
I'm sure the images I've sent back doesn't do it justice.
But the Chopra Cloud is more astonishing than what you could ever imagine.
I wish you could all see it the way I do.
[Tuma] This phenomenon has haunted our skies for the past four years,
and now your images have captivated the world.
Truly spectacular.
[chuckles softly]
Well, in less than a week,
I will collect and analyze the particles that make up the cloud.
We still don't know what they are or where they come from.
But as I enter the Chopra Cloud,
I might just unravel some mysteries of the universe.
Commander, would you mind taking a few questions
from the people of the world?
I'll do my best.
[girl] Hello, my name is Anna.
I'm in sixth grade.
And I read that you're the loneliest man in the world.
[chuckles softly]
I think what Anna here is saying is that the commander
is the farthest away from anyone in history.
Is that what you mean?
Does it make you sad to be so far away?
Well, I am some 500 million kilometers away.
And yes, this is a solo mission, but I know I'll be coming back soon.
I'm nearing the halfway mark for my scheduled return to Earth,
and I have so much work to do.
And I get to talk to people from all over the world
like you and Mission Control.
And your wife, Lenka, of course.
She and I can talk over the CzechConnect Quantum
faster than the Speed of Light Phone,
which keeps us connected.
We talk every day.
What I'm doing is for everyone back home, and that makes me very proud.
No, I'm not the loneliest man in the world.
Thank you, Anna.
And thank you, Commander.
We're going to take a short break here,
and we'll be back after a word from our generous sponsors.
[audience applauding]
[upbeat music playing]
[narrator] Non-drowsy Antiquease,
the official nausea medication of the Jakub Procházka Mission to Chopra.
[melancholy music playing]
[Lenka] You'll be all right, Jakub.
You're not afraid to be on your own.
I was afraid,
but I'm not anymore.
[sniffles]
[sobbing] I love you.
But people change.
And if you don't let them change, they die.
[sniffles]
[cries] I have to leave you.
I'm so sorry it has to be now, but--
[beeps]
[line ringing]
[man] Yes?
Lenka problem.
[machine whirring]
[whirring intensifies, stops]
Peter, would you be so kind to approve another repair to the toilet?
[sighs] Let me see if I can get engineering to clear that.
Did you replace the O-rings like we suggested?
Yes, I did.
And it's still screaming.
Maybe you and I can troubleshoot it later.
But the orders are that the broken cameras take priority over the toilet, so…
When did you take your sleep drops last night?
8:30. Why?
You don't look so good. Did you sleep?
I tried.
But just maybe I look like shit
because the toilet keeps fucking up my nights.
[Peter] Okay, I hear you.
But try to find time for a nap. You need rest.
[Jakub] Have you guys heard from Lenka?
No. Why?
[melancholy music playing]
[treadmill whirring]
[breathing heavily]
[machine whooshes]
[Lenka over laptop] I know you can feel the silence.
[sniffles]
[sighs] Oh my, oh my.
[Lenka] We're both on the CzechConnect and…
there's just silence.
So what's the point?
He is under tremendous pressure. He isn't sleeping.
He's not getting this message.
-We're holding it back? -[Tuma] Hm.
[sighs] He's already concerned he hasn't heard from her.
He's not getting this message.
I'll go talk to her.
I'll think of something to tell him.
[phone ringing]
[phone beeps]
[automated voice] Lenka is not answering. If you'd like to leave a message--
CzechConnect keeps you connected.
[CzechConnect theme music plays]

[Jakub groans]

Oh…
Ah!
What?
[grunting]
[eerie music playing]
[choking]
[screaming]
[groans]
[treadmill whirring]
[Peter] You are clear
for the Chopra Sample Collection Simulation.
Confirming scenario beta 3-3.
[Jakub] Sample collection simulation confirmed.
Peter, are you reading?
[Peter] Still no Camera D?
Yes. Electrical fine. Camera dead. Same story.
[Peter] That's half the ship's cameras malfunctioning.
I don't understand what's happening.
I'll file another report. [sighs]
I'm sure that'll be very effective.
[melancholy music playing]
[Jakub] Can someone go to my home?
[Peter] Why?
[Jakub] Still haven't heard from her.
[Peter] Okay, we'll find her. Don't worry.
[phone beeping]
[automated voice] Lenka is not answering. If you'd like to leave a message--
[static buzzing]
[eerie music playing]
Lenka?
Hello?
[man over CzechConnect] Hello.
Who is this?
Who do I have here?
[man] Can I help you?
Who the hell is this?
Hello?
[man] My apologies.
Peter, are you on?
[Peter] Yes.
I'm getting interference.
[Peter] That's very strange.
Could someone have hacked the CzechConnect?
[Peter] Mmm, not likely. Our system is secure.
If there's interference, it's over the radio, but…
Was it Korean?
[Jakub] Why would it be Korean?
[Peter sighs] There are indications the South Koreans are closing in.
It's not Korean.
Someone probably just left the channel open here.
And what do you suggest?
[Peter sighs] I'll look into it.
You doing okay? Is everything all right?
Yes, Peter, everything is very good.
[Peter] So listen, we've just learned
that Lenka's on her way to visit her mother.
She'll be back in a couple of days.
[Jakub] Yeah? Get her to call me.
[object thuds]
[thuds]
[door opens]
[suspenseful music playing]
[machine whirring]
[sighs]
[gasps]
What the fuck?
Control, do you have a secret camera in the head?
-[Peter] Why? -You do?
[Peter] Yeah. Well, it's a safety issue.
Pull it up right now.
[Peter] But it's out. It was one of the first ones to go out.
You gotta be kidding me.
[Peter] Jakub, what's going on? Hello?
Jakub, why aren't you responding?
[spider] I was lulled by the meditative sounds of your tube.
I did not intend to frighten you, skinny human.
-[Peter] Jakub, what's going on? -[spider] Do not be afraid.
[Peter] Hello?
[Jakub] I'm losing my mind.
[Peter] Why are you in the airlock?
[Jakub] We have to decontaminate the ship!
[Peter] What? Why?
As a precaution. In case we have any onboard contaminants.
[Peter] Well, we're not seeing anything on our sensors down here.
[Jakub] I have been getting some very strange readings,
and I need to be certain before the critical stage of the mission.
I'm suiting up.
All right, you're the commander.
Give me a minute to clear this.
[switch clicks]
[Jakub] Peter, I need word.
I… [sighs] …just got a reluctant confirmation.
I'm hearing from corporate sponsorships
that they want you to say the slogan first.
[Jakub] What?
[Peter] Before you deploy the decontaminant.
The Bomba slogan.
Two, three…
Bomba is 99.999% effective
in killing any and all airborne microbial elements.
Even in space, don't let germs ruin your day.
Bomba, away!
[clicks tongue] All right. Very good. Clear to go.
[beeps]
[machine hissing]
[somber music playing]
[Lenka] You go where I go,
and I go where you go.
Right, Spaceman?
[Peter] Jakub?
What?
[Peter] Are you okay?
What's going on?
[Jakub] Something's not right.
[Peter] What's not right?
Jakub?
[Jakub] I'm fine.
I need to talk to Lenka.
[Peter] You need to talk to me.
I know, I know.
[Peter] Your well-being is my responsibility.
You need to be transparent with me.
I know, and I am.
[Peter sighs] Okay.
The atmosphere should be back to normal in a couple of minutes.
What are your sensors saying?
[Jakub] Hm.
[Peter] See anything unusual?
[Jakub] Not right now.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Peter] We can have Dr. Kuřák come in if you need someone to talk to.
I don't need a psychiatrist. I'm… I'm fine.
I don't want your mental well-being to call this mission into question.
Agreed.
You don't need to worry about me.
[Peter] That is what my job is.
Six months apart in isolation, you start thinking too much.
[Jakub] Yeah, I need to get back out there, Peter.
[Peter] Okay.
[spider] I sense your fear.
But I do not mean you any harm.
You needn't worry.
I experienced no pain in my encounter with Earth's cleaning agents.
Only…
[sneezes]
[breath trembling]
[spider] My apologies.
You do not need your protective shell.
I will neither consume nor contaminate you.
Ah. You wish to know if I am real.
Are you?
[spider] I am as real as you are.
[Jakub] You can't be.
[Peter] What was that, Jakub?
No, no, no, no, no.
Peter, it's nothing.
[spider] I would prefer you do not do that.
It is not customary for my tribe.
The body must not be violated.
[spacesuit hisses]
[breath trembling]
Why are you here?
[spider] I am like you, an explorer.
But why are you on this vessel?
[spider] I was traveling to the edges of your solar system
when I felt the pull of humans.
I surveyed your Earth from orbit, studied your history,
learned your languages.
Yet having accessed your knowledge,
I still did not understand.
That is when I encountered your ship.
Your loneliness intrigued me.
I intended to study you a day or two, but then I wished to know more.
You compelled me.
I've come to understand that I might be of help.
I have to… [breathes shakily]
[spider] Human?
Skinny human?
I will leave you alone.
[Jakub] What's happening to me?
[mystical music playing]
[Lenka] This is going to be our home, Jakub.
[gasps]
[suspenseful music playing]
When you love someone, you're meant to amputate
a piece of what is you and replace it with a piece of the other.
[spider] Do not be afraid.
[Jakub] What is this?
Do you get that I fucking amputated so much of myself
I don't even know who I am anymore?
-What have you given up, huh? -Whatever.
Are you doing this to me?
[objects clattering]
You go where I go, and I go where you go. Right, Spaceman?
[spider] I wish to assist you in your emotional distress.
It seems your mate is pulling away.
Perhaps my presence can lessen your solitude.
I don't need your help.
But you do.
[melancholy music playing]
There's a place in the country for pregnant women who are alone.
They live together, eat together,
support each other through the birth and the first few weeks.
I… I don't understand.
You'd rather be surrounded by strangers in a forest?
I already canceled my lecture in Hamburg--
Be on my side, please.
I am.
I always am.
But, baby, this is a crazy time to make big decisions.
It's a crazy time to leave him.
I know.
I should have done it a long time ago.
[melancholy music playing]
[inaudible]
[door unlocks, opens]
[spider] Skinny human?
-No! No! -[spider] I need to ask about your mate.
This room's off limits.
[distant whirring]
[whirring continues]
[spider] There is a picture of you.
You are an honored member of your tribe?
This room is also off limits.
Give me those.
You have many boundaries, skinny human.
Perhaps they are the cause of your loneliness.
Get out.
[sighs]
[spider] Do you have any ova?
Of the avian variety.
Skinny human?
Are you referring to eggs?
[spider] Yes, I wish to sample them.
You set them in such regard.
I don't have any. They don't travel well.
[spider] Oh.
Do you want to sample this?
[spider] Hmm.
Mmm.
Rich and creamy like the shtoma larvae back home.
Where is home for you exactly?
[spider] It is lost.
The Gorompeds came for us.
Just like you, I fled my planet.
Through galaxies, through black holes.
I fled through the universe, through time, looking for solace.
But then I found you.
Is this how your kind treats your feelings of loneliness?
It's one way I suppose.
[rotor blades whirring]
[Tuma] She knew who she married.
All the qualities that make him capable of spending a year alone in space
makes him, uh…
peculiar.
[woman] Will she even talk to you?
She's very pregnant and very alone.
And when you're alone, you think.
She's had too much time to think.
[spider] We have work to do.
[Lenka] You have time for this?
Thought you'd be staring up at your cloud.
[Peter] Jakub.
Jakub.
What?
[Peter] We've identified some issues with Lenka's CzechConnect.
-[Jakub] Okay. -[spider] Come.
[Jakub] When is it fixed?
[Peter] Our engineers are on it.
Yeah? Thank you.
Look, Peter, I got to get back to it.
[Peter] You do that.
[Jakub] This cloud…
it's beautiful to you too?
[spider] It holds much wisdom, skinny human.
When I was young, I caught its grains on my tongue.
They are from the Beginning.
These particles…
They are from the origin of the universe?
Is that what Chopra is?
[spider] Perhaps.
And you were there?
How old are you?
Do your kind not die?
[spider] Everything that begins must end, skinny human.
Even the universe itself.
It's pulling us in.
Is there something inside?
[spider] Yes.
[Jakub] What is it?
[spider] The Beginning.
The Beginning.
What is this?
I have a proposition for you.
You go where I go.
And I go where you go.
Deal?
-Yeah. -[chuckles]
-[Jakub] Where are you taking me? -[Lenka chuckles] Trust me!
[Jakub] Okay, I'll go where you go.
[spider] I don't understand.
Why commit to a promise if it can readily be broken?
What purpose does such a commitment serve?
Are you creating these thoughts?
[spider] No.
These are your thoughts.
I am simply finding them with you.
No, no.
I'm not allowing that.
Stop what you're doing.
[spider] Why do you resist this exploration?
Let me help you.
I don't love water.
I'm a lifeguard. I could be a lifeguard.
I will save you.
[spider] You long for your mate only once she leaves.
Suit yourself.
[spider] Why?
Where was this yearning when you were together?
I don't have any answers for you.
[spider] This strife with your Lenka,
it stirs something in me I do not recognize.
Your memories are making me…
depressed?
But the spread made of hazelnut
did make my realization seem less unpleasant.
Maybe we need to save some for later then.
Ever felt like you might evaporate?
That's how I felt.
And I have hope.
It'll get better soon.
I'll get it together. I'm not going to evaporate.
It's just that…
he can't see me.
Not really. The world down here…
We're just dots. [sniffles]
You're not a dot.
[Lenka] I know.
That's what I worked out.
I do exist.
Raising a kid alone is hard.
[birds chirping]
[Lenka sighs deeply]
Have you thought about what you're going to tell the baby?
I'll tell our daughter the truth.
When I married her father…
I loved him.
I loved that he was ambitious.
I was wrong.
Young people are wrong all the time.
People are wrong all the time.
[Lenka sighs]
Do you have a name?
What am I supposed to call you?
[spider] I have never had a name.
Would it help you to give me one?
It would.
[spider] Then name me.
Can you think of one that becomes me?
How about Hanuš?
[spider] Hanuš…
[Jakub] My father told me about him.
He built the astronomical clock in Prague.
It measured the movements of the stars and the planets.
It was like nothing else in the world.
[spider] What happened to your Hanuš?
Some king poked his eyes out.
Jealousy, I believe. It threatened his legacy.
[spider] Curious.
And the timekeeping machine?
It works now.
But I'm not sure if Hanuš built it…
or if someone else did…
or if Hanuš even exists.
I will be called Hanuš.
Good.
Hanuš.
[operatic music playing over speakers]
[whirring]
[music volume increases]
[whirring stops]
[Hanuš] This is a tragic opera?
What is it about?
[Jakub] This is Rusalka.
A water nymph who falls in love with a mortal man.
But they can't be together.
[Hanuš] You see yourself in the star-crossed lovers.
[Lenka] Don't be scared.
[Jakub] I'm a cosmonaut in training. I'm never scared.
[Lenka] Did you always want to be a cosmonaut?
[Jakub] Well, I was supposed to raise pigs.
[Lenka] Really?
But after my father died, my dreams got bigger.
My father's dead too.
[Jakub] Where are you taking me?
[Lenka] I thought you might want to see something.
What is this?
It's a secret place.
[Hanuš] There was so much love.
Where did it go?
Please stop doing this to me.
[Hanuš] We must persist, skinny human.
[squeals]
[gasps]
[pigs squealing]
[Gustav Husak, in Czech] Fellow citizens, dear comrades.
The people no longer trust in the rule of the Communist Party.
Today, I speak to you to ensure we can avoid a lawless state.
I will abdicate my role as the president of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.
I hope for a successful democratic development of our state and its people.
[machine whirring]
[whirring stops]
[in English] Were you just here listening to that all night?
I find the vibrations soothing.
At first, I entered your thoughts with you.
But I felt uncomfortable.
Your kind carries a great deal of guilt.
Yours doesn't?
No. Why should we?
The universe is as it should be.
I am removing your ban on this room, Hanuš.
For soothing purposes.
[treadmill whirring]
[Hanuš] What purpose does this serve?
I have to do this two hours a day to keep my bones from decaying.
[Hanuš] You chose to flee your planet,
yet that act is destructive to you.
Your father. May I ask about him?
[pigs squealing]
What about him?
[Hanuš] What happened to him?
He was killed for what he believed was the truth.
[Hanuš] Your father was a martyr?
He was on the wrong side of history.
Papa!
[Jakub] My dad was a good man who did bad things.
He was an informant for the Party.
You believe this great mission will atone for the sins of your father.
You should focus more on the living, skinny human.
It's your turn to be a father now.
[knock at door]
[softly] Baby, someone's here to see you.
[Tuma] You want to leave your husband?
I have left him.
[Tuma] No, you left him a message.
But the thing is I haven't given it to him.
Of course.
My job is to protect him.
I'm trying to protect the mother of his child.
Your mission is safe.
I assure you Jakub will be fine.
He's good on his own.
I'm sure that he's hard to live with.
But he's not doing well.
What does that mean, "he's not doing well"?
[Tuma] He misses his wife.
Then he shouldn't have left.
I'm not giving him your message.
[chair scrapes]
[Tuma] There are people now at your home disabling the CzechConnect.
If you won't protect Jakub, I will.
Right now, he needs to believe
that the two of you are still a love story.
[Lenka] I'm not sure he does.
You don't leave your husband when he's in a dangerous place.
I didn't put him there.
Why can't you wait until he comes back?
[inhales deeply] I'm sorry. I can't help you.
You know, Lenka, the silence is the point.
What?
"We're both on CzechConnect and there is silence,
so what is the point?"
The silence is the point.
The two of you together,
silent, lost, afraid, in the dark,
holding on.
That is the point.
[Jakub] Speed at zero.
[Peter] Confirm SSR.
[Jakub] SSR on target. Rotation, 12 degrees. FSC engaged.
Contact. Done.
[Peter] FERDA Collection Simulation, Scenario Beta 3-3 concluded.
Great, Commander. That's perfect.
Six months in here. I know this, Peter.
[Peter] I know, but 45 hours to go.
And you'll be there first.
We're very proud of you down here.
[Jakub] Yeah.
[Lenka] Hello?
Earth to Jakub?
[Jakub] Will you stop? I really don't have time.
[Hanuš] I am not the cause of this.
[Lenka] Are you there?
[Jakub over speakers] I'm sorry.
I'm just tired and lonely.
[Lenka] I can relate.
[Jakub] I know.
Maybe you could just talk to me.
[Jakub] What do you want to talk about?
[Lenka] Anything.
[Hanuš] What is this?
You should tell me a secret.
[Jakub] Lenka, please.
This is an old conversation from months ago.
[Lenka] Remember when you…
finally told me what happened to you when you were a boy?
[Jakub] What about it?
[Lenka] How they threw you in the river because of your dad?
[Jakub] And I still don't want to talk about it.
I'm just trying to make sense of who you are, Jakub.
[Jakub] How is this even playing?
[Jakub over speakers] Who have you decided I am?
All I know is that you're someone who says that you want to come home
and then says they want to see what's beyond Jupiter.
[Jakub] Am I not allowed to dream?
Fuck!
When you dream, you leave.
[Jakub] Whatever.
[whirs]
[Jakub] Hanuš, is that--
[Hanuš] A grain from the Beginning!
It's Chopra!
[warbling]
[pulsating]
[warbling reduces]
Unbelievable!
Yes!
[breathing heavily]
[warbling intensifies]
[Hanuš] It cannot be held, skinny human.
No! No!
[tense music playing]
[machine whirring]
[rattling]
[thumping]
[Hanuš] You have silenced my tube.
Your shameful waste will not hold what you are looking for.
[Jakub grunts]
[grunts]
Peter, I think we have an issue here.
Peter?
Peter, what the fuck?
[ominous music playing]
Control, Control. Do you read?
[clicking]
[ominous music continues]
[Jakub] Control?
Peter, do you read?
[ominous music playing]
Hanuš, do you see that?
[Hanuš] The Beginning approaches.
Should I be concerned?
You have nothing to fear, skinny human.
The Beginning will not cause any harm.
It is merely a repository.
Of what?
[Hanuš] The words of your tribe cannot describe this.
Perhaps we will experience it…
together.
[birds chirping]
[ominous music playing]
Control, do you read?
[Hanuš] Skinny human.
I must ask something that may upset you.
What?
The upcoming arrival of your offspring,
why should it cause your Lenka such distress?
It doesn't.
[Hanuš] Yet the flavor of her feelings is one of dread.
You mated again to create this offspring.
You speak of this offspring with excitement.
We've experienced things to fear.
[Hanuš] Show me, skinny human.
I wasn't there.
[whirring]
[tense music playing]
Hanuš, how can I even see this?
-[Lenka groaning] -[Jakub] I wasn't there.
[Hanuš] Your thoughts have been there, haven't they?
[Lenka crying]
[Hanuš] You had the event described to you?
[crying hysterically]
I just want you to come home.
But you know I can't do that.
[Lenka] I bet you could.
[Jakub] Lenka, what is Dr. Cerný saying?
[Hanuš] You were absent when your mate lost your first offspring.
You were absent thereafter.
That broke my soul.
I just feel so alone, Jakub.
[Jakub] Oh shit! Shit!
I'm having an emergency.
Let me call you back.
[Lenka] You do that.
CzechConnect keeps us connect--
[Hanuš] Again, she is with your child, and you are not there.
What for?
The pain that it causes, it is of value to you?
[melancholy music playing]
[woman] It's an honor to have you with us.
[Lenka] I'm sure my being here
is no different to anybody else, but thank you.
Hm. Of course, but we say this to all our patrons, and we mean it.
We are humble to our task.
Whether it's by choice or by necessity,
this is not an easy thing to carry on your own.
Útočiště is your sanctuary or hinterland,
whatever you need it to be.
[Lenka] Thank you.
[whirring]
[tense music plays]
[Hanuš] With all our findings,
you are still focused on your great discovery.
[Jakub] I'm focused on a way to reach Mission Control.
[Hanuš] We're not done.
[Jakub] Are you at least happy for me?
Yeah.
Of course I am. [sniffles]
I'm happy and proud of you. [sniffles]
They chose you.
[Jakub] We'll make it work.
-We're together in this. You and me. -[Lenka sniffles]
[Lenka] Promise me one thing.
Promise me we're still going to do all the things we talked about.
[Jakub] Of course. I promise.
[Hanuš] She feels your lies inside her.
[Jakub] You don't know what you're talking about.
[Hanuš] You welcomed her sadness.
All these broken pledges
except for the one you made to your great discovery.
How could you fail to see
that she, one day, would lose the will to believe in you?
[keypad beeping]
[line ringing]
Come on, come on, come on.
[Peter] This is Peter.
Peter, it's Jakub. I'm calling from the CzechConnect.
I found a way to reconfigure it.
The radio's down, but this seems to work.
I don't know if you can hear me. Peter?
[Peter chuckles nervously] We thought we lost communication.
Everyone here has been on comms duty since you went dark.
And you hacked the CzechConnect? That's unbelievable.
Yeah.
Are you okay? Is the ship okay?
Yes, everything is--
[static]
[Hanuš] There is more I want to see.
[Lenka] Please don't keep saying everything will be fine.
[Jakub] But it will.
You think too much.
I know it's a year, but we know how to do this.
[Lenka] Things happen when you're alone.
[Jakub] We'll get through it.
This is the last time.
[Lenka] You keep saying that too.
Are you frightened?
[Jakub] I told you there's nothing to be afraid of.
[Lenka] Don't you ever think about the cost?
The price we have to pay for it all?
You and me.
I'm worried. I don't know what lies ahead.
Why aren't you?
[Hanuš] With great conviction,
you do not even try to understand your mate.
To what end?
It is impossible to connect with someone
who does not want to see anything but himself,
who only wants to connect when it serves him.
At first, I thought it was your kind's nature,
selfishness, shortsightedness.
But through your Lenka, I now see it.
It is you.
Your loneliness is self-inflicted.
I will leave you to your mission.
What? Hanuš!
[Hanuš] My interest in you has expired.
[Jakub] You can't leave me.
I need you.
You're helping! I'm listening to you!
[Hanuš] You can't be helped.
No!
[thuds]
[Hanuš] I prefer you do not place your hands on me.
[straining]
[panting]
You can't leave.
I need to--
[Hanuš] You need to come back with a very different discovery,
but all you can see is yourself.
Good luck, skinny human.
Hanuš.
No! Wait!
Hanuš?
Hanuš, please.
I'll do anything.
Hanuš, please. I promise.
[captivating music playing]
[Jakub] What is this?
It's a secret place.
What do you think?
I think I want to live here.
[Lenka] Maybe you'd like to go on a mission together.
Maybe you'd like to trade secrets.
Maybe you'd like to kiss me.
I would.
Nice.
[music crescendos]
[cries softly]
[music fades]
[phone ringing]
[Jakub] Peter!
What the hell? Where did you go?
There is a severe panic down here for all reasons I'm sure you can imagine.
Peter, everything is okay.
Nothing is deviating from plan.
The ship is doing what it was designed to do.
There's a course of action for when or if communications break down,
and I am following each of those rehearsed steps,
including fixing that problem.
Calm the fuck down.
Give me a heads-up.
Before anything, I want you to go and see Lenka.
What? Why?
Right now we have a lot going on.
-Peter. -The South Koreans are right behind you.
You are gonna go.
[Peter] To do what?
[all breathing deeply]
Lenka Procházka?
Oh, he's alive.
For fuck's sake, Peter!
[sighs in relief]
I need to talk to you, Lenka. Five minutes, please.
I'm not here to interfere.
Whatever is going on, that's between the two of you.
But in the interest of the safety of the mission and the stakes,
I need to do what I can to alleviate Jakub's mental state right now.
I hope you can understand that.
Peter…
I can't.
He wants you to listen. That's all.
[Peter breathes deeply]
[phone keypad beeping]
[Peter whispers] I'll be outside.
[Jakub] Lenka, I hope you're there.
I get it now. I do.
Do you remember when I said I wanted to see beyond Jupiter?
I can't imagine anything worse now.
I just want to come home.
When we met, I felt safe for the first time in my life.
And now I can't, for the life of me, understand why I kept leaving you behind
when you're the only thing that matters.
You tried hard to know me.
I am so sorry I never made a real effort to know you.
You were right there in front of me, and I didn't see you.
I have lived a life for all the wrong reasons.
What a fucking waste.
I don't deserve you.
-And I never have. -[sighs]
[Jakub] If I could do it again, I'd do it better.
[Lenka sniffles]
[Jakub] And that's a promise I would never ever break.
If I… If I could do it again.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
[melancholy music playing]
[crying]
[melancholy music continues]
[music fades]
[Jakub] Hanuš?
I can feel you poking around.
Are you still here?
[Hanuš] You should rest now.
I-- I'd really like that.
[Hanuš] Rest.
You have purged, skinny human.
I saw it.
Rest.
[Hanuš breathing heavily]
I did not mean to wake you.
Don't do that to me again.
Don't leave me.
[Hanuš] I cannot let you face the Beginning alone.
I've come to understand that I don't want to be alone for that either.
Are you okay?
[Hanuš wheezing]
Wha-- What's happening to you?
[Hanuš inhales shakily] I was not entirely honest with you before.
About what?
I told you the Gorompeds came for us.
They consumed our offspring, our elders.
So I fled my world.
But I fled too late.
You're scaring me.
[Hanuš] Why fear a truth?
This is not the way of my kind,
but it is the way of humans.
I'm starting to understand why daydreams and nightmares,
they are both of essence.
[Jakub] Why didn't you say anything?
You never asked about me.
[Hanuš wheezing]
[Jakub] Hanuš, please.
You should rest, skinny human.
Tomorrow, we enter the Beginning.
[crickets chirping]
This all feels like an unreal, dreamy story we tell the kids.
"The year you were born the sky was purple."
"No one knew why."
They think it's particles from deep space.
[woman] Can you imagine being up there?
No gravity. You can float away.
[Lenka] That's how I feel here sometimes.
I'd rather be here than chasing space dust.
It's a very glittery dust. [chuckles softly]
[captivating music playing]
[Hanuš breathing shakily]
Skinny human, it is time.
Your great discovery awaits.
Thank you.
[Hanuš] The hot bean water, it is a sacred ritual.
[Jakub] Tastes like home.
[suspenseful music playing]
Test, test, test!
[Peter] Yeah, still reading you.
Commander, I need to tell you
we initiated the broadcast of your latest pre-recording.
We all know it was an important moment for you to do that live, in person.
We had no choice with the cameras down.
You're really good in it.
It's okay, Peter.
[Tuma] Commander Procházka,
thank you for taking the time in these precious moments.
How are you feeling?
[Jakub] Commissioner Tuma, I am humbled, awed, and focused all in one breath.
To think a kid growing up in the countryside
would one day partake in this.
In just a few moments, we will deploy FERDA into Chopra,
but before that,
I just have to say how grateful I am for the support of the Czech people.
This mission is dedicated to the people of the world
and the funders and sponsors,
and to Lenka, of course.
For her endless support.
[Tuma] Two lovers connected across the stars.
I'm sure she's looking forward to having you home, safe and sound.
Everyone here on Earth is watching.
Because in just a few minutes,
the Jan Hus 1 and Commander Procházka
will be entering the Chopra Cloud.
The Czech Republic has proudly beaten the South Korean mission
to be the first to investigate the purple specter
that has haunted our sky for these past four years.
[Jakub] Arming hydraulics.
[mechanical humming]
Green board.
[Hanuš whispers] We are on the doorstep to the universe.
You are ready, skinny human?
Yeah. Yeah, I am.
[Peter] Green board here, Jakub.
Count yourself to sample collection in T minus ten.
[Jakub] Speed zero.
[Peter, distorted] SSR under 20.
[Jakub] SSR at 20.
Releasing gates.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Jakub] Arm engaged.
Rotation, eight degrees.
FERDA is deploying for collection.
But it might be a pointless endeavor.
[Peter, distorted] We can't hear you, Jakub. Our… [static] …irregularities.
Control, we're getting some interference.
[Peter] We read… We read you now.
[distorted] Clear for the sample collection.
[Jakub] FSC engaged.
Contact.
Attempting collection.
[Hanuš] Skinny human.
[wheezing]
I've never heard such silence before.
-[grunts] -[warbling, pulsating]
-[alarm blaring] -[Hanuš grunting]
Hanuš!
[Peter] Commander, what is happening?
-[Peter] We have negative reading… -Hanuš!
…from sample collection.
-Something is wrong. -Hanuš!
[Peter] System failure from FERDA.
Abort sample collection immediately.
Hanuš!
[Peter] We are recording numerous malfunctions, Commander.
You have to pull out immediately.
Abort the mission!
[distorted chatter over CzechConnect]
[Peter] You have catastrophic system failure.
Jakub, we cannot hear you.
The indicators are showing irregularities.
[Hanuš] Fear not, skinny human.
[Jakub] Hanuš! Hold on! I'm coming!
[Peter] Abort the sample collection
-and engage thrusters. -No! No, I can't.
[Peter] What are you doing with the Bomba?
Commander, pull out now! Please repeat!
[tense music playing]
[Peter] Commander, what is happening?
[alarm blaring]
[Peter] Why are you in the airlock?
Suit sensors are engaged.
Peter, I'm going out!
Are you fucking crazy?
Forget Chopra, Commander.
Pull out! Save yourself!
[Jakub] There's something I've gotta do! I'll be right back!
[Peter] Commander, we can't read you!
Come in, Commander!
[airlock hissing]
[Jakub] Come on, come on, come on!
[tense music continues]
[Jakub] Hanuš!
[panting]
[grunts]
[panting]
[Jakub] Hanuš!
Are you okay? Did the Bomba work?
[Hanuš] Skinny human, your efforts with the decontaminant were heroic.
But soon, the Gorompeds will weaken me enough to consume my flesh.
But we have a little time.
Death will not yet find me.
[melancholy music playing]
[Jakub breathing heavily]
[Jakub] Hanuš.
I almost drowned when I was a boy.
This reminds me of that.
I could see the sun through the water, green and flickering.
I knew then I was drowning,
but the sun would go on shining.
Oh, Dad. I absolve you of your sins,
and I absolve me of them too.
[Hanuš] Beautiful.
This isn't such a bad place to end things.
[Hanuš] This isn't the end.
Come. Let me show you.
[captivating music playing]
[girl singing indistinctly]
[Jakub] We only just met but I'd be okay with it.
[baby crying]
[vehicle horn blares]
[Jakub] This is why I don't tell the truth.
What is this?
[Hanuš] Skinny human, this is it.
This is everything.
This is the Beginning and the ending.
[child laughs]
[Hanuš] Every vibration of all time.
It is all contained here.
[Peter] Great, Commander. That's perfect.
[Hanuš] Your past and your future.
[boy] Hey! Wait for me!
[Hanuš] Me, you, your Lenka…
[Lenka] You go where I go, and I go where you go. Right, Spaceman?
[Hanuš] Your father.
[man] Jakub!
[Hanuš] Every promise. Every heartbreak.
[Lenka] Earth to Jakub?
[Hanuš] Every atonement.
[boy] I'm coming!
[Hanuš] Everything is permanent, yet nothing ever is.
[Jakub] Really? It's tiny?
That is the truth of the universe.
[warbling]
[Lenka] You ever think about
what you've learned a little bit late in life?
[Jakub] Maybe I'm not at that point yet.
[Hanuš] No one has to hurt,
not here where you can see everything.
[fireworks bursting]
[groaning]
[screaming]
[heartbeat thumping]
[baby crying]
[operatic music playing]
[panting]
Hanuš! Incredible!
[Hanuš] Skinny human, the universe is as it should be.
[Jakub] Yes, it is.
How little I knew.
But there's one thing I've always known.
Come, let me show you.
[Hanuš] This is the Beginning.
With your Lenka.
You all right there, Spaceman?
[Jakub] The first moment I saw her, I knew I wanted good things for her.
If I don't know anything else, I know that.
If only I saw her always like I saw her then.
[Hanuš] That you saw her at all is a miracle.
[Jakub] It's all so unlikely that she and I would meet,
that you and I would meet.
[Hanuš] Yet here we are.
You thought this was everything you wanted,
so what's not here, Jakub?
[Jakub] She's not here.
It's time, isn't it?
I feel you slipping away.
[Hanuš] Yes, it is inevitable.
It's not without some fear,
but I can leave you now.
[Jakub] I brought something for you.
For soothing.
[Hanuš] Thank you.
I begin and I end here.
[Hanuš gasps] But perhaps this is not your ending, skinny human.
Now I feel fear.
[Hanuš] As you do.
But you also feel hope for you, your Lenka.
That is the wisdom of your tribe.
Can you hear her?
[Jakub] I can't hear anything.
[Hanuš] Listen to the silence.
Thank you, Hanuš. For everything.
[Hanuš] Tastes like home.
[somber music playing]
[Jakub gasps]
No.
No!
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, Hanuš.
[somber music continues]
[Jakub] Rusalka…
I just want a kiss.
You know that will kill you.
[softly] I'm good with that.
Lenka.
Jakub.
[indistinct radio chatter]
[phone ringing]
[woman speaks Korean over phone]
[Jakub] Thank you.
If I had known then what I know now,
I never would have left.
If I had known then what I know now,
would I have kissed you?
Would you?
Would you kiss me again?
It was a really good kiss.

《太空孤航》
雅庫布，你要參加這次直播嗎？
我們得幫你連線
等一下
煩耶
（改編自雅洛斯拉夫卡法爾的著作 《波西米亞太空人》）
（捷克通訊量子）
彼特
馬上幫你連線
你代表歐洲太空計畫和捷克人民
已經獨自航行一百八十九天
歡迎回來，普羅查茲卡指揮官
圖瑪局長！我在木星外環帶問好
眞高興能在這裡跟你談話
很開心再次見到你，你氣色很好
看來漫長的等待即將結束了
一點也沒錯
此行的緣由就在我眼前
我傳回的影像一定遜色許多
但喬普拉星雲比想像中更驚人
希望你們也能感受到我的震撼
這個現像已經在天空盤旋四年
如今你的影像讓世人目不轉睛
令人嘆為觀止
再過不到一星期
我會収集並分析星雲的組成粒子
它們的本質或來源依然不明
但等我進入喬普拉星雲
或許會揭開某些宇宙奧祕
指揮官，可以回答世人幾個問題嗎？
我會竭盡所能
你好，我叫安娜
我是小六生
我看報導說你是世界上最孤單的人
安娜的意思應該是
指揮官是有史以來 跟大家相距最遠的人
你是這個意思嗎？
你在那麼遙遠的地方會難過嗎？
我距離地球五億多公里
沒錯，這是單人任務 但我知道我就快回去了
離我預定返回地球的時間 幾乎快過了一半
我還有很多工作要做
我有機會和世界各地的民眾說話
例如你和任務控制中心
當然還有你太太蓮卡
我跟她都在捷克通訊量子上通話
那比光速電話還快
捷克通訊讓我們保持聯繫
我們天天通話
我的工作是為了家鄉眾人 這讓我備感光榮
所以我不是世界上最孤單的人
謝謝你，安娜
謝謝你，指揮官
現在休息一下
我們馬上回來 先來看慷慨的贊助商廣告
不嗜睡的克暈錠
雅庫布普羅查茲卡 執行喬普拉任務的官方止暈用藥
你會沒事的，雅庫布
你不害怕獨處
我本來很怕，但再也不怕了
我愛你
但是人會改變
他們不改變就會死
我得離開你
很抱歉偏偏挑這時間點，可是…
喂？
蓮卡有狀況
彼特，請你好心再次批准修理馬桶
我看看能不能找工程部核准
你有依照建議更換O環嗎？
我有
但還是發出尖響
也許可以之後進行檢修
但依指示，故障的攝影機 修理順位高於馬桶，所以…
你昨晚何時服用安眠藥？
八點半，怎麼了？
你氣色不太好，你有睡覺嗎？
我睡不著
但可能我氣色不佳
是因為馬桶每晚都吵得我不能睡
好，了解
但盡量找時間補眠，你需要休息
你們有蓮卡的消息嗎？
沒有，怎麼了？
我知道你感受得到沉默
老天爺
我們都在捷克通訊上…
卻是一片沉默
那通話的意義何在？
他的壓力相當大
他睡眠不足
他不能収到這通訊息
我們要瞞著他？
他已經在擔心沒収到她的消息
他不能収到這通訊息
我會找她談談
我會想個理由跟他說
蓮卡沒接電話
如果想留言…
捷克通訊讓你保持聯繫
（多眠：星際旅行助眠藥）
什麼鬼？
你可以使用喬普拉採樣模擬了
情境測試版三 — 三確認中
已確認啟動喬普拉採樣模擬
彼特，你在看嗎？
D攝影機還是故障？
對，電路沒問題 攝影機沒反應，跟之前一樣
這樣船上有一半攝影機都失靈
我不懂怎麼回事
我會再提出報告
這麼做肯定超有用
可以找人去我家嗎？
為什麼？
還是沒有她的消息
好，我們會找到她
放心吧
蓮卡沒接電話，如果想留言…
蓮卡？
喂？
喂
你是誰？
我在跟誰講話？
我幫得上忙嗎？
你到底是誰？
喂？
對不起
彼特，你在線上嗎？
在
我収到雜訊
那就怪了
會不會有人駭進捷克通訊？
不可能，我們的系統很安全
如果有雜訊，無線電會顯示，可是…
是韓語嗎？
為什麼會是韓語？
有跡像顯示南韓緊追在後
不是韓語
可能是這裡有人忘了關頻道
你有什麼建議嗎？
我會調查一下
你還好嗎？一切都沒事嗎？
沒事，彼特，一切都很好
聽著，我們剛得知 蓮卡正前往她母親家
她過幾天就回家了
這樣啊？請她聯絡我
搞屁喔？
控制中心，頭艙裡有祕密攝影機嗎？
-怎麼了？ -有嗎？
有，這是安全問題
馬上調出影像
可是壞掉了，那是最早壞掉的一批
你一定在開玩笑
雅庫布，怎麼回事？喂？
雅庫布，你怎麼不回應？
我被你管子的嗡嗡聲引來
我無意嚇你，瘦皮猴人類
雅庫布，怎麼回事？
別害怕
喂？
我要發瘋了
你為什麼進入氣閘艙？
我們得幫船進行消毒！
什麼？為什麼？
有備無患，以防汙染物跑上船
這裡的感測器上沒看到東西
我一直収到很異常的數據
我要確認後才能進行關鍵階段的任務
我要穿上太空衣
好的，你是指揮官
請稍候，我去請求批准
彼特，我需要核准
他們勉為其難答應我
企業贊助商跟我說
他們要你先講廣告詞
什麼？
在你進行消毒之前
先說邦巴的廣告詞
二、三…
邦巴效果高達九成九九九
能有效消滅所有空中的微生物成份
就算在太空，也別讓細菌毀了好心情
邦巴，出擊！
好了，非常好，可以進行了
你跟隨我
我跟隨你
對吧，太空人？
雅庫布？
怎樣？
你沒事吧？
怎麼回事？
不太對勁
哪裡不對勁？
雅庫布？
我沒事
我得跟蓮卡說話
你得跟我說話
我知道…
你的健康是我的責任
你得對我坦承不諱
我知道，而且我有
好，氣壓再過幾分鐘會恢復正常
你的感測器顯示什麼結果？
（消毒完成）
有看到異常之處嗎？
現在沒有
如果你得跟人談談 我們可以找庫拉克醫生來
我不需要心理醫生，我沒事
我不希望你的心理健康 導致任務引發疑慮
我同意
你不用擔心我
這是我的職責
離群索居六個月，你開始胡思亂想了
對，我得回到外面，彼特
好
我感受到你的恐懼
但我無意傷害你
你不用擔心
我接觸到地球的清潔劑時並不痛苦
不過…
對不起
你不需要保護殼
我不會吃掉或毒害你
你想知道我是不是眞的
你是眞的嗎？
我跟你一樣眞實
不可能
怎麼了，雅庫布？
沒事…
彼特，沒什麼
我希望你別碰我
我的種族沒有這種習慣
身體不容侵犯
你的來意為何？
我跟你一樣是探險家
但你為什麼在這艘船上？
我原本要前往你們太陽系的邊陲地帶
結果卻感受到人類的吸引力
我繞行地球時 研究過你們的星球和歷史
學會了你們的語言
儘管獲得了你們的知識
我還是不明白
然後我就遇見你的船
你的孤單激發我的興趣
本來衹打算研究你一兩天 但後來我想知道更多
我深受你的吸引
我漸漸了解我可能幫得上忙
我得…
人類？
瘦皮猴人類？
我不煩你了
我怎麼了？
這會是我們的家，雅庫布
但要知道你愛上一個人時
註定要犧牲你的一部份
改用其他部份取代
別害怕
這是什麼？
你知道我的犧牲
大到根本認不出自己是誰了嗎？
-你放棄了什麼？ -隨便啦
這是你弄給我看的嗎？
你跟隨我，我跟隨你 對吧，太空人？
我想幫助你走出情緒低谷
看來你的伴侶要離開了
有我在可能會減輕你的孤獨感
我不需要你幫忙
可是你需要
國內有個地方專門収容獨居孕婦
她們吃住都在一起
分娩時和產後幾星期相互扶持
我不懂
你寧可在森林中跟陌生人共處？
我已經取消我在漢堡的授課…
支持我，拜託
我支持你
我向來如此
但女兒，這時候做重大決定很離譜
這時候離開他很離譜
我知道
我很久以前就該走了
瘦皮猴人類
-不行… -我得問你伴侶的事
這個房間禁止進入
有一張你的照片
你是你們種族的榮譽成員嗎？
這個房間也禁止進入
還給我
你的禁忌眞多，瘦皮猴人類
這可能是你孤單的原因？
出去
你有卵子嗎？
禽類的卵子？
瘦皮猴人類？
你是說蛋嗎？
對，我想品嚐看看
你們很重視蛋
我沒有，那不適合長途旅程
你想吃吃看這個嗎？
如同家鄉的西托瑪幼蟲般濃郁香醇
你的家鄉又是在哪裡？
已經蕩然無存了
我們遭受Gorompeds的侵襲
我跟你一樣，逃離我的星球
穿越許多銀河系和黑洞
我穿越宇宙和時間，尋求慰藉
而我卻找到你
你們種族都是吃這個排遣寂寞嗎？
算是其中一種方式吧
她早知道她結婚的對像是誰
讓他能夠在太空中獨處一年的特質
讓他…性格古怪
她願意跟你談嗎？
她生產在即，而且獨自一人
人獨處時就會思考
她有太多時間思考了
我們有工作要做
你有時間親熱嗎？
我以為你要觀察星雲
雅庫布
什麼事？
找到蓮卡的捷克通訊有什麼問題了
-好 -過來
什麼時候會修好？
我們的工程師正在處理
是嗎？謝謝
彼特，我得回去了
去吧
這片星雲…你也覺得很漂亮嗎？
它飽含智慧，瘦皮猴人類
我小時候舌頭沾到它的微粒
它們是來自初始
那些粒子…
它們來自宇宙的起源？
那是喬普拉的本質？
也許吧
你當時在場？
你幾歲了？
你們種族不會死嗎？
萬物有始必有終，瘦皮猴人類
連宇宙本身也是
它要把我們拉進去
裡面有東西嗎？
有
是什麼？
初始
初始…
這是哪裡？
我有個提議
你跟隨我
我跟隨你
說定了？
一言為定
你要帶我去哪裡？
相信我！
好，我就跟隨你
我不懂
為何要答應會輕易違背的承諾？
這種承諾的目的是什麼？
這些是你創造的想法嗎？
不是
這些是你的想法
我衹是在你身上找到而已
不行…
不准你這麼做
立刻中止
你為何抗拒這種探索？
讓我幫助你
我不喜歡水
我是救生員
我可以當救生員
我會救你
你衹有在伴侶離開時才會想念她
隨便你
為什麼？
你們在一起時，這份渴望在哪裡？
我沒有答案，無可奉告
你跟蓮卡的衝突
在我內心觸發陌生的情緒
你的回憶讓我…
沮喪？
但是榛果醬
使我的領悟沒那麼不開心
那我們得留一些以後吃
你可曾感到自己會人間蒸發嗎？
我從前就有這種感覺
現在我充滿希望
情況很快會好轉
我會振作起來，我不會人間蒸發
衹是…他看不見我
不是眞的看見，下面這裡的世界…
我們衹是渺小的幾個點
-你不是渺小的點 -我知道
這個我已經想通了
我確實存在
獨自扶養小孩很辛苦
你想過怎麼跟寶寶說嗎？
我會跟我們的女兒說實話
我跟她父親結婚時…我很愛他
我很愛他滿腔抱負
衹是我錯了
年輕人經常犯錯
人經常犯錯
你有名字嗎？
我要怎麼稱呼你？
我從來沒有名字
幫我取名字會對你有幫助嗎？
會
那就幫我取名字
你想得到適合我的名字嗎？
哈奴斯怎麼樣？
哈奴斯…
我父親說過他的事
哈奴斯打造了布拉格天文鐘
它會測量恆星和行星的運動
在當時絕無僅有
哈奴斯後來怎麼了？
有個國王挖出他的雙眼
應該是眼紅，因為那威脅到他的政績
令人費解
那個計時機器呢？
現在還在運作
但我不確定打造的是哈奴斯…
還是另有他人…
或者哈奴斯是否眞有其人
那就叫我哈奴斯
很好
哈奴斯
這是悲劇収場的歌劇？
劇情在講什麼？
這是露莎卡
一個愛上凡人男子的水精靈
但他們不能在一起
你在這對不幸的戀人身上看到自己
別害怕
我是受訓中的太空人，我從沒害怕過
你一直都想成為太空人嗎？
我本來應該去養豬
眞的假的？
但我父親過世後 我的夢想變得更遠大
我父親也死了
你要帶我去哪裡？
我覺得你可能想看一個東西
這是什麼地方？
這是祕密基地
當時你們好相愛
愛到哪去了？
拜託不要這樣追問
我們得追根究柢，瘦皮猴人類
各位民眾，親愛的同志們
人民不再信任共產黨的統治
今天，我保證我們可以 避免變成毫無法紀的國家
我要辭去捷克斯洛伐克 社會主義共和國總統一職
希望我國和人民能成功落實民主發展
你在這裡徹夜聽這玩意？
這種振動讓我感到平靜
起初，我跟你進入你的思緒
但我覺得不太舒服
你們種族懷著太多罪惡感
你們沒有嗎？
沒有，怎麼會有？
宇宙是它應有的模樣
我要撤銷禁令 准許你進入這個房間，哈奴斯
作為平復心情之用
這麼做的目的是什麼？
我得一天跑兩小時防止骨骼衰退
你選擇逃離你的星球
但那麼做對你有害
我可以請教你父親的事嗎？
他的什麼事？
他怎麼了？
他因為他信奉的眞理而喪命
你父親是烈士？
他站在歷史的對立面
爸爸！
我爸爸是個做壞事的好人
他是共產黨的線民
你認為這項偉大任務可以幫他贖罪
你應該要更重視活人，瘦皮猴人類
現在輪到你當父親了
女兒，有人來找你
你想離開你先生？
我已經離開他了
不對，你是留訊息給他
重點是我還沒傳給他
可想而知
我的職責是保護他
我想保護他孩子的母親
你的任務很安全
我保證雅庫布會沒事的
他可以自給自足
我想他一定很難相處
但是他過得不好
你這話什麼意思？
他很想念他太太
那他就不應該離開
我不會給他你的訊息
現在有人在你家切斷捷克通訊
如果你不保護雅庫布，我會保護
現在，他得相信
你們倆還是相愛的
我不同意
你不能在你先生身陷險境時離開他
我又沒叫他去
為什麼不能等到他回來呢？
對不起，我幫不了你
蓮卡，沉默是重點
什麼？
“我們都在捷克通訊上 卻是一片沉默
那通話的意義何在？”
沉默是重點
你們倆一起時…
沉默、失落、恐懼、茫然不解
撐下去
這才是重點

太好了，指揮官，眞是好極了
我待了六個月，我懂，彼特
我知道，但衹剩卌五小時
你會是第一個抵達的人
我們在這裡很以你為榮
對
你在嗎？
地球呼叫雅庫布？
別鬧了好嗎？我實在沒空
那不是我造成的
你在嗎？
對不起
我衹是很累又寂寞
我能感同身受
我知道
也許你可以跟我聊天
你想聊什麼？
什麼都好
這是什麼？
你應該告訴我一個祕密
蓮卡，拜託
這是幾個月前的舊通話
還記得你之前…
總算說出你小時候的遭遇嗎？
怎麼樣？
他們因為你爸把你丟進河裡？
我還是不想談這件事
我衹想搞清楚你是誰，雅庫布
這個怎麼會播出來？
你把我認定成什麼人了？
我衹知道你說你想回家
卻又說他們想看木星以外的世界
我不能有夢想嗎？
混那臭蛋！
你有夢想時，就會離開
隨便啦
哈奴斯，那是不是…
來自初始的微粒！
這是喬普拉！
不可思議！
抓到了！
它關不住，瘦皮猴人類
別跑…
你讓我的管子靜下來了
你的髒垃圾關不住你要找的東西
彼特，我們有狀況
彼特？
彼特，搞屁喔？
控制中心…你們在嗎？
控制中心？
彼特，你在嗎？
哈奴斯，你看到了嗎？
初始逼進了
我應該擔心嗎？
沒什麼好怕的，瘦皮猴人類
初始不會造成傷害
那衹是一種容器
什麼的容器？
你們種族的話語無法說明
也許我們會一同…
體驗到
控制中心，你們在嗎？
瘦皮猴人類
我得問一件你可能會不高興的事
什麼事？
你的孩子即將出世
為什麼蓮卡反而心情低落？
沒有啊
可是她散發出恐懼的感覺
你們再度交配創造出這個孩子
你聊到這個孩子興奮不已
我們經歷過令人恐懼的事
讓我看看，瘦皮猴人類
我當時不在場
哈奴斯，我怎麼看得到這景像？
我根本不在場
你曾經想過，對吧？
你聽人說過這個事件？
我衹希望你回家
可是你知道我辦不到
你一定可以的
蓮卡，切尼醫生怎麼說？
你的伴侶失去頭一胎時你不在身邊
你之後也都不在
那讓我傷透了心
我覺得好寂寞，雅庫布
糟了…
我有緊急狀況
我再打電話給你
一定要打喔
捷克通訊讓我們保持…
她再度懷著你的孩子 你依然不在她身邊
為什麼？
你重視這件事造成的痛苦嗎？
很榮幸你可以加入我們
其他人一定覺得我來了也沒差 但還是謝謝你
不客氣，但我們是發自內心 對所有顧客這麼說
我們對自己的工作很謙卑
無論是出於選擇還是不得已
獨自待產絕非易事
Útočiště是你的 庇護所或安身之處
需要什麼就說一聲
謝謝
我們得知這麼多事 你還是一心追求你的重大發現
我在一心找出方法聯絡任務控制中心
我們還沒談完
你能起碼為我感到高興嗎？
那當然
我很高興，也很以你為榮
你雀屏中選
我們會想出辦法的
我們會攜手共度，我跟你
答應我一件事
我們還是會去做我們說過的事
沒問題，我保證
她內心感受到你在騙人
你不知道自己在說什麼
你欣然接受她的悲傷
那些誓言都沒有遵守
衹有你追求重大發現的誓言兌現了
你怎麼會沒料到
總有一天，她會不願意相信你？
快接
我是彼特
彼特，我是雅庫布 我是用捷克通訊打的
我找到方法變更設定
無線電壞了，但這好像還能用
我不知道你聽不聽得見，彼特？
我們還以為我們失聯了
你音訊全無後 大家都在處理通訊故障
你駭進捷克通訊？太厲害了
是啊
你沒事吧？船沒事吧？
對，一切都…
我還想看更多
拜託別老是說一切會沒事
可是一定會的
你多慮了
我知道時間長達一年 但是我們知道怎麼應對
人獨處時就會發生事情
我們會渡過難關
這是最後一次
你也老是說這句話
你害怕嗎？
我說過沒什麼好怕的
難道你從沒想過代價嗎？
我們得為這一切付出的代價？
我和你
我憂心忡忡，不知道未來會怎樣
你怎麼會不擔心？
你信念堅定 根本沒試著去了解你的伴侶
為什麼？
不可能跟這種人建立感情
因為他眼中衹想看到自己
有需求時才會想聯繫
我起初以為這是你們種族的本性
自私、短視近利
但是透過蓮卡，我現在懂了
這是你的問題
你的孤單是你自己造成的
我不打擾你執行任務了
什麼？哈奴斯！
我對你不感興趣了
你不能離開我
我需要你
你有幫上忙！我把你的話聽進去了！
沒人幫得了你
別走！
我希望你的手不要碰我
你不能走
我需要…
你需要帶著截然不同的發現回去
但是你衹看得見你自己
祝你好運，瘦皮猴人類
哈奴斯
別走！等等！
哈奴斯？
哈奴斯，求你回來
我什麼事都願意做
哈奴斯，拜託，我保證
這是什麼地方？
這是祕密基地
你覺得呢？
我想住在這裡
也許你會想一起出任務
也許你想交換祕密
也許你想親我
我會的
很好
彼特！
搞什麼鬼？你跑哪去了？
你一定不難想像 大家在這裡雞飛狗跳的原因
彼特，一切都沒事
一切都照著計畫走
船也依照製造目的在做事
有一套解決通訊失靈的行動方針
我逐一執行演練過的步驟
包括解決那個問題
給我冷靜點
先跟我說明一下
在那之前，我要你去找蓮卡
什麼？為什麼？
我們現在忙翻天
-南韓快追上你了 -彼特
你一定要去
去做什麼？
蓮卡普羅查茲卡？
他還活著
混那臭蛋，彼特！
我得跟你談談，蓮卡 五分鐘就好，拜託
我不是要多管閒事
不管怎樣，那都是你們倆的事
但為了任務的安全和風險著想
我得盡力減輕雅庫布的焦慮
希望你可以諒解
彼特
我辦不到
他希望你聽他說話，就這麼簡單
我去外面
蓮卡，我希望你在聽
我現在懂了，眞的
還記得我說過 我想看木星以外的世界嗎？
那眞是糟之透頂
我衹想回家
我們認識時 那是我此生頭一次有安全感
現在我怎麼也想不通 我怎麼會把你拋下
因為你是唯一重要的事物
你盡力了解我
很抱歉我從未眞正努力了解你
你就在我面前，我卻視而不見
我這一生錯得離譜
眞是虛度人生
我配不上你
我從來都不配
如果能重來一次，我會做得更好
我永遠不會違背這個承諾
如果我…如果我可以重來一次
對不起
非常對不起
哈奴斯？我感覺得到你在附近
你還在這裡嗎？
你現在應該要休息
我很想休息
休息吧
你脫胎換骨了，瘦皮猴人類
我看到了
休息吧
我不是故意要吵醒你
別再這樣對我了
別離開我
我不能讓你單獨面對初始
我體會到我也不想獨自面對
你沒事吧？
你怎麼了？
我先前沒有完全說實話
哪件事？
我說過Gorompeds攻擊我們
牠們吞噬我們的小孩、年長者
所以我才會逃離我的世界
但是我太晚逃了
你在嚇唬我
為什麼害怕眞相？
我的種族不會這樣
但是你們人類會
我開始了解白日夢和惡夢
為何都有必要存在
你之前怎麼不說？
你從沒問過我的事
哈奴斯，請過來
你應該休息了，瘦皮猴人類
我們明天會進入初始
這一切感覺很像跟小孩說的奇幻故事
“你出生那年的天空是紫色的
原因不得而知”
他們認為是深太空的粒子造成的
你能想像置身太空中嗎？
沒有重力，人會飄走
我在這裡有時會有這種感覺
我寧可待在這裡，也不願追逐太空塵
那可是亮晶晶的灰塵呢
瘦皮猴人類，時間到了
你的重大發現在等著你
謝謝
熱豆子水，這是神聖儀式
有家的味道
測試…
對，還是有偵測到你
指揮官，我必須告訴你
我們已播出你最新的預錄影片
我們都知道親自直播是你的重要時刻
因為攝影機壞了，我們別無選擇
你在影片中表現很棒
沒關係，彼特
普羅查茲卡指揮官
感謝你花時間參與這些寶貴時刻
你有何感想？
圖瑪局長，我誠惶誠恐又全神貫註
想到一個鄉下長大的小孩
有朝一日竟然能參與任務
再過不久，FERDA就會放進喬普拉中
但在那之前
我得感激捷克民眾的支持
這趟任務要獻給世人
出資者和贊助商
當然還有蓮卡
感謝她無止盡的支持
這對戀人跨越繁星緊緊相繫
她一定很期待你平安回家
地球上的人都在看
因為再過幾分鐘
揚哈斯一號和普羅查茲卡指揮官
會進入喬普拉星雲
捷克共和國很榮幸能搶先南韓一步
拔得頭籌調查在我們的天空上
四年來盤旋不去的紫色異像
啟動液壓系統
數據正常
我們離宇宙衹有一步之遙
瘦皮猴人類，準備好了嗎？
對，我準備好了
這裡數據也正常，雅庫布
再過十分鐘進行取樣

FERDA即將進行取樣
但可能是白費功夫
聽不到你的聲音，雅庫布 我們…不規則訊號
控制中心，出現干擾
我們偵測到你了
准許取樣
已啟動FSC
已接觸目標
試圖取樣中
瘦皮猴人類
我從未聽過這種寂靜
哈奴斯！
指揮官，發生什麼事？
-取樣行動… -哈奴斯
…偵測到負値
情況不對
哈奴斯！
FERDA系統故障
立刻中斷取樣
哈奴斯！
我們記錄到各儀器失靈，指揮官
你得立刻中止行動
中斷任務！
你有嚴重的系統故障
雅庫布，我們聽不到你的聲音
儀表上都是不規則數據
別怕，瘦皮猴人類
哈奴斯！等等！我來了！
中斷取樣
-並啟動推進器 -不…我不行
你拿邦巴要做什麼？
指揮官，立刻住手！請重複！
指揮官，怎麼回事？
為什麼你在氣閘艙？
已啟動太空裝偵測器
彼特，我要出去！
你腦袋壞掉了嗎？
別管喬普拉了，指揮官
中止行動！活命要緊！
我得做一件事！
我馬上回來！
指揮官，我們偵測不到你了！
快回應，指揮官！
快開…
哈奴斯！
你沒事吧？邦巴有用嗎？
瘦皮猴人類，你盡力消毒很了不起
但不久，Gorompeds會讓我變虛弱 並啃噬我的肉
但我們還有一點時間
我的死期未到
哈奴斯
我小時候差點溺死
這讓我想起那件事
我在水中看到太陽綠光閃閃
我那時就知道就算我溺死
但太陽會繼續閃耀
爸爸，我赦免你的罪
也赦免我自己的罪
好動人
在這裡結束一切也不賴
這裡不是終點
走，我帶你去看
我們才剛認識，但我無所謂
這是我沒說實話的原因
這是什麼？
瘦皮猴人類，就是這個
這就是一切
這是初始和結束
史上的每次振動
全部都在這裡
太好了，指揮官，眞是好極了
你的過去和未來
嘿！等等我！
我、你、你的蓮卡…
你跟隨我，我跟隨你 對吧，太空人？
你的父親
雅庫布！
每個承諾，每次心碎
地球呼叫雅庫布？
每個贖罪
我來了！
一切固有恆，卻無一物恆存
眞的嗎？這麼小？
這就是宇宙的眞相
你可曾想過 人生老一點時學到什麼嗎？
也許我還不到那年紀
這裡不會有人受傷
你在這裡可以見到一切
哈奴斯！太驚人了！
瘦皮猴人類，宇宙是它應有的模樣
確實沒錯
我眞是所知甚少
但我始終都知道一件事
走，我帶你去看
這是初始
你跟蓮卡的初始
你沒事吧，太空人？
我一見到她，就知道我要讓她幸福
別的我可能不懂，這件事我很清楚
要是我都用初識她的心態看她就好了
你竟然看得到她眞是奇蹟
我跟她認識的機會非常渺茫
就跟我和你一樣
但我們還是認識了
你認為這是你唯一想要的東西
那什麼事物不在這裡，雅庫布？
她不在這裡
時候到了，對吧？
我覺得你在消逝中
對，這是必然的事
我並非毫無恐懼
但是我現在可以離開你了
我有個東西送給你
能撫慰心靈
謝謝
我在此開始，也在此結束
但也許這不是你的終點，瘦皮猴人類
這下我害怕起來了
我也是
可是你也對你和蓮卡充滿希望
這是你們種族的智慧
你聽得到她的聲音嗎？
我什麼都聽不到
聆聽那片寂靜
謝謝你，哈奴斯，感激不盡
有家的味道
不要…
哈奴斯！
露莎卡…
我衹想親你一下
你知道那會要了你的命
死就死吧
蓮卡
雅庫布
謝謝
要是我早知道我現在知道的事
我絕對不會離開
要是我早知道我現在知道的事
我當初還會親你嗎？
你會嗎？
你會再次親我嗎？
當時那個吻很棒
