The Moon (2023) Movie Script
1
a CJ ENM Studios
and BLAAD Studios production
FDO confirmed,
5 years ago,
Korea's first Moon exploration
rocket Narae-ho launched.
It experienced an unforeseen explosion,
resulting in tragic losses
of 3 incredible astronauts.
Everything was a shock to us all.
OH GYU-SEOK
SCIENE & TECHNOLOGY VICE MINISTER
I'm sure the public was
shocked more than us...
Due to conflicts between nations,
Korea was withdrawn from
International Space Committee.
The independent lunar mission
seemed to end in failure.
THOMAS ELLIOISC CHAIRMAN
The Moon can be thought of
as the Antarctic of Earth.
Q: WHY MUST WE GO TO THE MOON?
It contains vast underground resources
and Helium-3 is noteworthy,
which can be served
as an energy source
HELIUM-3 DISTRIBUTION MAP
for humanity for tens of
thousands of years.
That's why the world is engaged
in fierce competiton over the Moon.
Who will plant the flag first?
Korea has also thrown its hat
into the ring in the competition.
JUNG MIN-GYU
NARO SPACE CENTER FLIGHT DIRECTOR
but if we can continue
challenging ourselves,
then that failure becomes
a step towards our success.
To us all.
That's how Korea's second rocket
Woon-ho was created.
And these are the three astronauts
who will embark on this journey.
LEE SANG-WON
AIR FORCE COMMANDER
Being an astronaut was a dream
since I was young,
so it's an honor just to
carry out a mission on the Moon.
Her name?
I'll choose it when I arrive
on the Moon while looking at Earth.
It's been tough.
CHO YOON-JONG
AIR FORCE LI was able to overcome everything
because of my family's support.
Q: DOES THE GORILLA DOLL HOLD A SPECIAL MEANING?
This?
My son gave it to me.
He said this littile guy will protect me.
HWANG SUN-WOO
SERGEANI went through a lot of tranining during my SEAL days,
but I'm a rookie when it comes to being a pilot.
I will not let the sacrifices
of Narae-ho crew members go in vain,
by completing this mission
with experienced colleagues.
20 months of tranining,
Lee, Cho and Hwang endured
2800 hours of grueling training.
They are now ready to become
the mankind's second group
to step on the Moon after USA.
With tremendous vibration,
Woori-ho is the second manned spacecraft
On December, 2029 ,
we're heading for the Moon
once more.
We are going.

and I, Hwang Sun-woo, am leaving a status log.
Sir, the pressure inside
It could be a decompressor power error,
2033 is stable,
current status is...
a fuel cell warning,
H overload,
why is the aux line control system
valve closed?
I don't think anyone closed it.
The scope of system errors
is expanding.
To sum up, stages 11 to 14
in the manual are nominal...
Another H-1 fuel ceil just went off!
Sporadic malfunction of H-2
while under repair!
This may cause a problem
if temp controller cannot be reset
while under PTC mode is off.
What's even more problemmatic is,
warnings from the mechanic...
What's the situation?
It's like this.
A situation where I can fool around.
Very calm situation.
It's not serioues, Hwang.
grab the manual.
Jesus Christ...
Are wimps allowed
in the SEAL unit nowadays?
He's gonna give me cancer.
Making fuss over nothing.
We're here to explore the Moon,
but you'll nag me to death.
I'm ordering you to cut comm and...
Actually, just go to sleep.
Yo, Space SEAL.
Is space a joke to you?
And Flight sounded like
he saw death earlier,
"Don't go! EVA is off limits!"
It's not like he's gonna come
and fix it if we don't.
Space SEAL, increase power
to Command Module.
Resetting power to Command Module.
Commander, I think we got
Lt. Cho, let's head back inside
Now that comm with
Earth has been cut,
space feels like hell in a way.
Hell is where your
Earthly debt remains.
This is heaven.
The perfect heaven where arrears
and interest don't exist.
Why're you talking about hell
in this sacred space?
We haven't been here that long.
Of course not!
I was thinking of my son,
who's still in that heil.
Why should I cry...
Commander, you haven't named
your unborn daughter yet.
I almost had one earlier,
but that damn solar wind...
Hwang Sun-woo.
Check the power
The chance of back-to-back
massive failures is very low.
The previous program's failure
lies on your predecessor
for not thoroughly evaluating it.
Who are you worried for?
When this fail, I got the congress
to go back to, but not you.
I begged to be sent
to the Foreign Affairs.
why put a lit major
in charge of Scienece & Tech?
What's going on?
What happened?
We got communication restored.
What?
- What's going on?
Only their video uplink is established!
Hwang! Woori-ho!
Do you copy?
Hwang Sun-woo!
How did you re-establish
connection with them?
They're restoring the system,
but only video feed at the moment.
FDO! Current location?
They're cruising near
the orbit as planned.
Flight! Are they okay to
go outside like that?
Attention all departments,
when the network stabilizes,
backup all data,
and re-assets remote access,
power, pressure and system.
- It's hurry.
- Yes, Flight!
I told them many time
not to conduct EVA...
- Hwang Sun-woo!
Any errors other than 1102?
Check for errors on
the sun-facing solar cells.
Error 1240 popped up too.
1240 is the terminal transformer...
Commander, I think we shoud open this.
I'll check if it was short-circuited
from thruster sparks.
Okay, if there's a problem,
less one out.
got oxygen tank and the charge?
Yes, those are okay.
Good, weld them together
if there's no interference.
check the fuel tank leak
and get back inside.
Yes, sir.
Commander, what else should I do?
Comm is up.
You shold change the music.
And stop creating unnecessary tension.
Flight!
We may have a short circuit,
on solar panel 1.
Lt. Cho is moving to
the problematic region.
He may be checking
the fuel tank.
Everything okay?
Okay, I'll now check
Let's see...
Commander, I think you should
come check this out.
The fuel is leaking...
Lt. Cho!
Yoon Jong!
Sir!
Where's the feed?
What happened?
Someone tell me something!
Commander!
Wake up, Commander!
We lost Lt. Cho's vital signal!
What about Cdr. Lee ?
Commander, wake up!
Please snap out of it!
What do we do?
What about Lt. Cho?
His harness has been cut.
Please come back in,
Wait, I'll come outside.
Hwang! What are you doing?
I'm opening the hatch!
How could you,
with the pressure difference?
If you open that,
you'll die instantly.
Just stop it...
I only have 15 seconds
I can't see properly now...
Commander, I'll come out...
No...
No, please, don't do that!
You can't drag a body around.
Doing so will cause problems
with ship movement.
- No, Commander...
- This is...
this is my oder.
No...
If you reboot the full system power...
No, please...
you'll get comm.
No...
Request rescue.
Don't talk like that,
you can't do this!
One final thing...
this isn't an order,
but a request.
Return home.
Astronaut Hwang Sun-woo!
Please not! Commander!
No!
Commander!
Sir! No!
Commander!
Commander!
Sir! Please!
No, Commander!
No! Commander!
Flight!
Woori-ho is re-establishing comm!
Transmission and reception are up!
This is Flight Director.
Reporting in.
30.000 km above the Moon,
power to Command Module
Cdr. Lee Sang-won conducted EVA
and after the repair,
thruster 1 had problems,
and decomp chamber's
power went down,
and the pressure rose...
Explosion of propellant
We lost Cdr. Lee's vitals signal.
Attempting to rescue him,
Hwang Sun-woo
You may stop,
so please calm down.
I'm the only one left,
I'm sorry...
Until we link up after
the contingency plan meeting,
re-inspect this system, out.
Copy.
Two are dead,
and one survived,
but the remaining one
can't operate the spacecraft?
As a former SEAL, he has strong
physically and mentality.
If he follows our repair orders...
Don't give me that mentality bullshit!
You all lived through
that debacle 5 years ago!
What did I say in the beginning?
After being thrown out of
Space Committee, you'll win with skill?
Even making a space base later?
So much money went
down the drain ..
sir, you know developing
our own technology
costed us only a fifths
of the required contribution,
and that's why went alone.
Forget it, just get him home.
Cancel the mission, I mean
the mission is a failure.
So, just bring him back.
We have to save at least one!
What do I say to the press?
To return to Earth, we have to
control Command Module.
but after the solar wind,
remote access system is down.
Then fix it.
Who's the best in that field?
We must get the man
who designed the module instead.
Wouldn't he know the best?
Woori-ho is a replica
of Narae-ho spacecraft.
It was designed by two men,
the former flight, and the tech lead.
Teach lead Hwang Gyu-tae
look his own life 5 years ago,
as a way to take responsible.
And the other?
You said two men.
Where's the former flight director?
Bring him in!
Under this heavy snow,
and deep in the back woods,
do you think we'll starve to death?
Then a chopper will fly in.
If one of us dies, that is..
And just be quiet.
Come on, captain.
If I hold still and don't talk
I might lose consciousness.
Can't we start a fire and wait?
If you were a boar,
would you come along,
if you see people chatting
in front of a campfire?
Use your brain
if you want to eat meat.
Attention ahead.
It's here.
It's really here.
Shoot, shoot!
Shoot, now!
Captain, what are you doing?
Hm?
Shit...
I don't bring the bullets.
I forgot...
The whole family is here.
Shouldn't we run?
Let's walk away quietly.
Run? Should we run?
Run! Run! Let's run!
Hurry! Go!
Don't run! I said don't run!
They left, right?
MT. SOBAEK OBSERVATORY
2 astronauts were lost
Command Module can last
3 weeks without any support.
Request NASA's help in the meantime.
And please leave us alone.
We'll request their help.
but as you know, ISC and NASA
opposed our Moon expedition.
and if they reject our request,
we have no recourse.
Please help us save
at least one life.
Director, please help.
Director?
If you want to save one more life,
please head back.
Do me this favor.
You did it yourself 5 years ago.
That was a job I was given to do.
He's the son of Dr. Hwang Gyu-tae,
Isn't that why the success here
What is the most important task
Hwang Sun-woo must do whatever
It's crucial whether the repairs are
I'm a researcher here.
What was he a director of?
Was it a bank?
Hwang surely knows that
Yes, that's right.

Confirm thermal control system
Alpha -0,9, Bravo -2,5
Verify temperature drop deviation,
Hwang's temperature is dropping.
Temp control is the problem,
if it keeps dropping, it may affect
Command Module's system.
Status of the electric heating system?
It's been running sporadically
for the past 30 minutes.
Why are you reporting that now?!
We were looking for the cause,
I'm sorry. Flight.
What is it?
What's the problem now?
Did someone mess up?
Who is it? Who?!
I ordered you all not to do anything
until the previous Flight Director arrived!
Who are you?
How did you get in...
Who...
The previous Flight Director...

PTC Mode (Passive Thermal Control)
Status of PTC mode?
It stopped after the thruster explosion.
How much temp will it rise
if Woori-ho rotates for the sun?
Over 5 degree,sir.
Time to the Moon orbit?
30 minutes at current speed.
That's more than enough.
Pull up trust simulation input data.
It's just...
Pull it up!
We lost a thruster.
If anything goes wrong,
Woori-ho will become
a space pinwheel.
So you'll freeze him to death?
It'll have to rotate upon orbit entry,
so, let's do it early.
Calculate thruster discharge
and time, and report.
Open comm.
Hwang Sun-woo,
If you follow my order,
it'll be in position
to enter the lunar orbit,
without additional input,
can you do it?
Yes, I'll try, sir.
First, if we rotate the ship
the temperature will rise
without activating the heating system,
and PTC mode will recover.
If you're ready,
let's get started.
Do you see RCS
on the control panel?
Yes, I see RCS.
Here is the data.
Activate it.
RCS on standby
We lost thruster 1
due to the accident earlier.

Former Flight Director,
Kim Jae-gook.
He's also the architect
of Narae-ho's Command Module.
It look a lot of effort on my part
to scout him from NASA.
I didn't ask.
My only concern is whether
he can be save or not.
Everything else is not important,
and not even curious.
Hwang, great wok.
Woori-ho is approaching
so, the comm will go dark.
Take a breather,
and I'll call when you reach
Over.
Could I ask for the little and name
KIm Jae-gook.
I worked with you father.
You know me.
Commander, you haven't named
I almost had one earlier,
I'll choose it when I arrive

Hello?
It's me.
Been a while.
Well, I'm still the same.
- Captain! Captain!
- Watching the stars at the observatory.
- You have to go!
- Are you listening?
Speak.
I want to ask you something,
is that okay?
I'll answer anything expect
your wrecked Woori-ho.
Moon-young...
Are you there on your own terms?
Did you willingly walk
into the space center?
Listen carefully.
No, your Lunar gateway...
will be within Woori-ho's
vicinity in 48 hours.
- Listen to me, at present...
The sole survivor is Gyu-tae's son
Hwang Sun-woo!
- You listen to me, Mr Kim!
Lunar gateway was hit with the solar wind,
and nothing's normal expect comms.
My crew's been up for 2 days
No one's feeling reasonable here,
begging for help at this point
will fall on deaf ears.
The answer will be same even if
your president makes a formal request.
Please help, honey...
it'd be great to rescue him,
and I want that sincerely,
but that won't bring back Gyu-tae.
I have to go.

Are you really out of your mind?
We can't stop
what he's doing from here.

This is Hwang Sun-woo,
astronaut of Republic of Korea...
Do you read me?
Mayday...
Mayday...
Do you read me?
Hurry! Come on!
GA88-6AFN,
LK88,
ZG5Y.
Observatory monitor,
move aside.
Sun-woo! Hwang Sun-woo!
Do you hear me,
it's me, Dr. Kim Jae-gook!
Why can't he hear me?
Right, one-way comm,
gotta switch the reception port!
What are you doing?
One sec, I got an idea.
I fell on the moon,
Do you read me?
Hwang, do you copy?!
Hwang Sun-woo, it's me,
This is Hwang Sun-woo.
This is Kim Jae-gook,
what's your situation?
I've crash landed on Campbell Crater
on the far side of the Moon.
I know about that,
what about you?
I'm okay...
Condition of the Lander?
I'm lowered the oxygen level.
Remaining supply is at 40%.
That's 5 hours worth, what else?
I barely resolved the ammonia leak
to conserve power.
Exterior damage is not
feasible to check.
Should I EVA and check?
The meteor shower is ongoing?
Yes, intermiterly.
Don't go outside!
With the comm up,
can't the mission control check?
I'm not...
at the mission control.
How did you manage to call them?
You said there's only one way,
just get going!
And this!
I'm thinking of uploading it
to Youtube,
with some epic music,
it'll go viral, right?
With oxygen level reduced,
he may fall asleep.
It's all over if he does.
Okay!
By golly! Captain!
Heart attack?!
I got here too late,
I'm so sorry!
Captain?
Yes.
I'm sorry!
Didn't you say
he died of heart attack?
- I'm really sorry.
- Come on...
Let's go save someone for real.
Where? Where is he?
The Moon.
There? That?
Yes.
The Moon?
Hwang Sun-woo is alive.
Hey, check that out,
he's still alive!
A Youtube video containing
who crashed landed
You can hear Hwang's voice
and he goes on to say that
I barely resolved the ammonia leak,
Mr. Hwang Sun-woo,
you're not sleeping, right?
No, I'm not sleeping,
I can't sleeping.
I'm taking deep breaths,
don't worry.
You can still fall asleep,
so let me ask you some questions.
Why did you join the SEAL?
I heard it's a reality brutal
Like you can't even wimp
Should I guess why
you volunteered for it?
I won't fall asleep,
can't we have some peace?
"I wanted to know
the limits of my pain."
During hardcore training
that tests you pain to the limit,
whether is be physical
or psychological,
you can't think about
We instinctively focus
on the greater pain.
Then was it because
of your father?
Because of the pain
you tell from his loss?
Am I right?
Common denominator.
My family had it hard
after we lost my dad.
Listen.
You barely know anything about me,
you're sleeping out of line.
"MUST FULFILL MY FATHER'S DREAM"
where's he's requesting for rescue from the far side of the Moon,
and the people around the world are supporting Hwang saying.
The security code to the satellite changes every 6 hours
and it's only granted to you, me and the astronauts.
Who do you think gave that out?
The location where the file on Youtube was uploaded
is confirmed as a place called Mt. Sobaek.
Not even Naro Space Center.
Submit your phone.
Check her call and text history...
And seize her computer to examine.
Sir,
The White House wants to talk to you.
He's waiting for you now.

This is Korea's Naro,
If you have signal,
please respond.
Only the interior video feed is working.
Hwang, what is the sitrep
of the Lander interior?
What the hell is going on?
Hwang Sun-woo is alive.
You uploaded that video
to Youtube, right?
Hell broke loose
in the president's office.
He made a memorial speech,
and I cried before the public...
but Hwang's alive?
So what? What now then?
The Internet is on fire,
Are we not rescuing him?
We simply can't, am I right?
How do we fetch someone
from the far side of the Moon?
You wanna have 2 funerals?
Another meteor shower!
Lander's impact level is rising!
We'll move him to a safe area for now.
Where's a safe area in space?
Flight director, answer me!
Where's a safe area in that space?
Will you bring up NASA again?
You heard them, they won't go
into the meteor minefield!
Minister!
Minister!
Lunar gateway has granted
our docking request just now!
It was decided during an emergency
Answer the call,
NASA's on standby!
Dr. Kim, hurry!
US is in a tough spot.
Thanks to that viral clip,
Americans are demanding his rescue,
asking what ISS is doing.
The White House server went down!
Who uploaded this?
How was is done?
I don't really know.
Yes, yes, yes!
Very nice!
BREAKING KASC AND NASA
This is Mission Control speaking.
We just completed our course corrections
and are at the minimum velocity
Confirmed.
Gateway, beware of lowering orbit.
They're clearing Yoon's room,
and her articles are being inspected.
As soon as we get proof of the leakage,
she'll be sent to the disciplinary committee right away.
Then this docking mission will be her last job here.
Keep an eye on her.
In a moment, Lunar gateway will
approach the Doppler crater orbit.
It will take over control
Once the Lander reaches
Lunar gateway will take control
I want to make it clear,
if this is not successful
for whatever reasons,
there won't be any more

Hwang, what are you doing?
There's enough oxygen,

Bastard...
You're just like your father.
Yes, it turned out that way.
I didn't want to
end it like my father...
I'm sorry...
It wasn't your father's fault!
So open the oxygen valve!
You didn't see his will, right?
he knew there was a flaw
He knew about it,
I mean, he couldn't.

I won't ask you to
forgive my father.
Thank you for everything.
Over and out for good.
Sun-woo!
Don't close the comm port!
I have...
something to say...
your father came to me.
a problem with the engine.
He said it'd be dangerous
He asked for a 2-month delay.
He begged me for it.
But I refused.
There was a very low
but my biggest reason
for rejecting his request was...
after 5 delays, I was afraid that
the program might implode.
I guess I wanted to
succeed more than him.
I won't ask you to forgive me...
Sun-woo,come back...
I'm begging you.
The oxygen valve is open again!
Astronaut Hwang Sun-woo,
requesting a new directive.
Did you check the sat photo?
The location is different.
He can lift off, when it drops down
the valley and if the thruster's good.
Unlike before, valley stopes
Meteoroids could get him
in the current location.
Where?
And we can't even dock
with the gateway.
The docking port is damaged.
Lunar's head is facing
the near side of the Moon.
Get it to the near side.
The near side?
Let's say we launch it,
we can't land it,
let alone steer it
That's your job to resolve.
I'll do my best from my end.

Yes.
Hwang! Get ready to launch!
Where to?
We're going back
to the near side of the Moon.
That's possible?
Sun-woo, is it possible for you
to bring the drone inside?
Okay.
Attention everyone!
Please listen carefully.
Get her out now!!
Ok now go! Do it!

For me,
Hwang Sun-woo is also our fellow astronaut,
not a Korean who failed his mission.
Hwang would soon be falling to the near side of the moon.
Right now, that astronaut is asking us for help.
He has survived all by himself,
losing two of his friends...
but he hasn't give up on anything, yet
Forget his nationality for now, Please.
Please save the astronaut Hwang Sun-woo,

THE MOON
a CJ ENM Studios
and BLAAD Studios production
FDO confirmed,
5 years ago,
Korea's first Moon exploration
rocket Narae-ho launched.
It experienced an unforeseen explosion,
resulting in tragic losses
of 3 incredible astronauts.
Everything was a shock to us all.
OH GYU-SEOK
SCIENE & TECHNOLOGY VICE MINISTER
I'm sure the public was
shocked more than us...
Due to conflicts between nations,
Korea was withdrawn from
International Space Committee.
The independent lunar mission
seemed to end in failure.
THOMAS ELLIOISC CHAIRMAN
The Moon can be thought of
as the Antarctic of Earth.
Q: WHY MUST WE GO TO THE MOON?
It contains vast underground resources
and Helium-3 is noteworthy,
which can be served
as an energy source
HELIUM-3 DISTRIBUTION MAP
for humanity for tens of
thousands of years.
That's why the world is engaged
in fierce competiton over the Moon.
Who will plant the flag first?
Korea has also thrown its hat
into the ring in the competition.
JUNG MIN-GYU
NARO SPACE CENTER FLIGHT DIRECTOR
but if we can continue
challenging ourselves,
then that failure becomes
a step towards our success.
To us all.
That's how Korea's second rocket
Woon-ho was created.
And these are the three astronauts
who will embark on this journey.
LEE SANG-WON
AIR FORCE COMMANDER
Being an astronaut was a dream
since I was young,
so it's an honor just to
carry out a mission on the Moon.
Her name?
I'll choose it when I arrive
on the Moon while looking at Earth.
It's been tough.
CHO YOON-JONG
AIR FORCE LI was able to overcome everything
because of my family's support.
Q: DOES THE GORILLA DOLL HOLD A SPECIAL MEANING?
This?
My son gave it to me.
He said this littile guy will protect me.
HWANG SUN-WOO
SERGEANI went through a lot of tranining during my SEAL days,
but I'm a rookie when it comes to being a pilot.
I will not let the sacrifices
of Narae-ho crew members go in vain,
by completing this mission
with experienced colleagues.
20 months of tranining,
Lee, Cho and Hwang endured
2800 hours of grueling training.
They are now ready to become
the mankind's second group
to step on the Moon after USA.
With tremendous vibration,
Woori-ho is the second manned spacecraft

What's even more problemmatic is,
warnings from the mechanic...
What's the situation?
It's like this.
A situation where I can fool around.
Very calm situation.
It's not serioues, Hwang.
grab the manual.
Jesus Christ...
Are wimps allowed
in the SEAL unit nowadays?
He's gonna give me cancer.
Making fuss over nothing.
We're here to explore the Moon,
but you'll nag me to death.
I'm ordering you to cut comm and...
Actually, just go to sleep.
Yo, Space SEAL.
Is space a joke to you?
And Flight sounded like
he saw death earlier,
"Don't go! EVA is off limits!"
It's not like he's gonna come
and fix it if we don't.
Space SEAL, increase power
to Command Module.
Resetting power to Command Module.
Commander, I think we got
Lt. Cho, let's head back inside
Now that comm with
Earth has been cut,
space feels like hell in a way.
Hell is where your
Earthly debt remains.
This is heaven.
The perfect heaven where arrears
and interest don't exist.
Why're you talking about hell
in this sacred space?
We haven't been here that long.
Of course not!
I was thinking of my son,
who's still in that heil.
Why should I cry...
Commander, you haven't named
your unborn daughter yet.
I almost had one earlier,
but that damn solar wind...
Hwang Sun-woo.
Check the power
The chance of back-to-back
massive failures is very low.
The previous program's failure
lies on your predecessor
for not thoroughly evaluating it.
Who are you worried for?
When this fail, I got the congress
to go back to, but not you.
I begged to be sent
to the Foreign Affairs.
why put a lit major
in charge of Scienece & Tech?
What's going on?
What happened?
We got communication restored.
What?
- What's going on?
Only their video uplink is established!
Hwang! Woori-ho!
Do you copy?
Hwang Sun-woo!
How did you re-establish
connection with them?
They're restoring the system,
but only video feed at the moment.
FDO! Current location?
They're cruising near
the orbit as planned.
Flight! Are they okay to
go outside like that?
Attention all departments,
when the network stabilizes,
backup all data,
and re-assets remote access,
power, pressure and system.
- It's hurry.
- Yes, Flight!
I told them many time
not to conduct EVA...
- Hwang Sun-woo!
Any errors other than 1102?
Check for errors on
the sun-facing solar cells.
Error 1240 popped up too.
1240 is the terminal transformer...
Commander, I think we shoud open this.
I'll check if it was short-circuited
from thruster sparks.
Okay, if there's a problem,
less one out.
got oxygen tank and the charge?
Yes, those are okay.
Good, weld them together
if there's no interference.
check the fuel tank leak
and get back inside.
Yes, sir.
Commander, what else should I do?
Comm is up.
You shold change the music.
And stop creating unnecessary tension.
Flight!
We may have a short circuit,
on solar panel 1.
Lt. Cho is moving to
the problematic region.
He may be checking
the fuel tank.
Everything okay?
Okay, I'll now check
Let's see...
Commander, I think you should
come check this out.
The fuel is leaking...
Lt. Cho!
Yoon Jong!
Sir!
Where's the feed?
What happened?
Someone tell me something!
Commander!
Wake up, Commander!
We lost Lt. Cho's vital signal!
What about Cdr. Lee ?
Commander, wake up!
Please snap out of it!
What do we do?
What about Lt. Cho?
His harness has been cut.
Please come back in,
Wait, I'll come outside.
Hwang! What are you doing?
I'm opening the hatch!
How could you,
with the pressure difference?
If you open that,
you'll die instantly.
Just stop it...
I only have 15 seconds
I can't see properly now...
Commander, I'll come out...
No...
No, please, don't do that!
You can't drag a body around.
Doing so will cause problems
with ship movement.
- No, Commander...
- This is...
this is my oder.
No...
If you reboot the full system power...
No, please...
you'll get comm.
No...
Request rescue.
Don't talk like that,
you can't do this!
One final thing...
this isn't an order,
but a request.
Return home.
Astronaut Hwang Sun-woo!
Please not! Commander!
No!
Commander!
Sir! No!
Commander!
Commander!
Sir! Please!
No, Commander!
No! Commander!
Flight!
Woori-ho is re-establishing comm!

Cdr. Lee Sang-won conducted EVA
and after the repair,
thruster 1 had problems,

Explosion of propellant
We lost Cdr. Lee's vitals signal.
Attempting to rescue him,
Hwang Sun-woo
You may stop,
so please calm down.
I'm the only one left,
I'm sorry...
Until we link up after
the contingency plan meeting,
re-inspect this system, out.
Copy.
Two are dead,
and one survived,
but the remaining one
can't operate the spacecraft?
As a former SEAL, he has strong
physically and mentality.
If he follows our repair orders...
Don't give me that mentality bullshit!
You all lived through
that debacle 5 years ago!
What did I say in the beginning?
After being thrown out of
Space Committee, you'll win with skill?
Even making a space base later?
So much money went
down the drain ..
sir, you know developing
our own technology
costed us only a fifths
of the required contribution,
and that's why went alone.
Forget it, just get him home.
Cancel the mission, I mean
the mission is a failure.
So, just bring him back.
We have to save at least one!
What do I say to the press?
To return to Earth, we have to
control Command Module.
but after the solar wind,
remote access system is down.
Then fix it.
Who's the best in that field?
We must get the man
who designed the module instead.
Wouldn't he know the best?
Woori-ho is a replica
of Narae-ho spacecraft.
It was designed by two men,
the former flight, and the tech lead.
Teach lead Hwang Gyu-tae
look his own life 5 years ago,
as a way to take responsible.
And the other?
You said two men.
Where's the former flight director?
Bring him in!
Under this heavy snow,
and deep in the back woods,
do you think we'll starve to death?
Then a chopper will fly in.
If one of us dies, that is..
And just be quiet.
Come on, captain.
If I hold still and don't talk
I might lose consciousness.
Can't we start a fire and wait?
If you were a boar,
would you come along,
if you see people chatting
in front of a campfire?
Use your brain
if you want to eat meat.
Attention ahead.
It's here.
It's really here.
Shoot, shoot!
Shoot, now!
Captain, what are you doing?
Hm?
Shit...
I don't bring the bullets.
I forgot...
The whole family is here.
Shouldn't we run?
Let's walk away quietly.
Run? Should we run?
Run! Run! Let's run!
Hurry! Go!
Don't run! I said don't run!
They left, right?
MT. SOBAEK OBSERVATORY
2 astronauts were lost
Command Module can last

Request NASA's help in the meantime.
And please leave us alone.
We'll request their help.
but as you know, ISC and NASA

and if they reject our request,
we have no recourse.
Please help us save
at least one life.
Director, please help.
Director?
If you want to save one more life,
please head back.
Do me this favor.
You did it yourself 5 years ago.
That was a job I was given to do.
He's the son of Dr. Hwang Gyu-tae,
Isn't that why the success here

Why are you reporting that now?!
We were looking for the cause,
I'm sorry. Flight.
What is it?
What's the problem now?
Did someone mess up?
Who is it? Who?!
I ordered you all not to do anything

Who are you?
How did you get in...

Status of PTC mode?
It stopped after the thruster explosion.
How much temp will it rise
if Woori-ho rotates for the sun?
Over 5 degree,sir.
Time to the Moon orbit?
30 minutes at current speed.
That's more than enough.
Pull up trust simulation input data.
It's just...
Pull it up!
We lost a thruster.
If anything goes wrong,
Woori-ho will become
a space pinwheel.
So you'll freeze him to death?
It'll have to rotate upon orbit entry,
so, let's do it early.
Calculate thruster discharge
and time, and report.
Open comm.
Hwang Sun-woo,
If you follow my order,
it'll be in position
to enter the lunar orbit,
without additional input,
can you do it?
Yes, I'll try, sir.
First, if we rotate the ship
the temperature will rise
without activating the heating system,
and PTC mode will recover.
If you're ready,
let's get started.
Do you see RCS
on the control panel?
Yes, I see RCS.
Here is the data.
Activate it.
RCS on standby

Former Flight Director,
Kim Jae-gook.
He's also the architect
of Narae-ho's Command Module.
It look a lot of effort on my part
to scout him from NASA.
I didn't ask.
My only concern is whether
he can be save or not.
Everything else is not important,
and not even curious.
Hwang, great wok.
Woori-ho is approaching
so, the comm will go dark.
Take a breather,

Speak.
I want to ask you something,
is that okay?
I'll answer anything expect

Moon-young...
Are you there on your own terms?
Did you willingly walk
into the space center?
Listen carefully.
No, your Lunar gateway...
will be within Woori-ho's
vicinity in 48 hours.
- Listen to me, at present...
The sole survivor is Gyu-tae's son
Hwang Sun-woo!
- You listen to me, Mr Kim!
Lunar gateway was hit with the solar wind,
and nothing's normal expect comms.

No one's feeling reasonable here,
begging for help at this point

The answer will be same even if
your president makes a formal request.
Please help, honey...
it'd be great to rescue him,
and I want that sincerely,
but that won't bring back Gyu-tae.
I have to go.

This is Kim Jae-gook,
what's your situation?
I've crash landed on Campbell Crater
on the far side of the Moon.
I know about that,
what about you?
I'm okay...
Condition of the Lander?
I'm lowered the oxygen level.
Remaining supply is at 40%.
That's 5 hours worth, what else?
I barely resolved the ammonia leak
to conserve power.
Exterior damage is not
feasible to check.
Should I EVA and check?
The meteor shower is ongoing?
Yes, intermiterly.
Don't go outside!
With the comm up,
can't the mission control check?
I'm not...
at the mission control.
How did you manage to call them?
You said there's only one way,
just get going!
And this!
I'm thinking of uploading it
to Youtube,
with some epic music,
it'll go viral, right?
With oxygen level reduced,
he may fall asleep.
It's all over if he does.
Okay!
By golly! Captain!
Heart attack?!
I got here too late,
I'm so sorry!
Captain?
Yes.
I'm sorry!
Didn't you say
he died of heart attack?
- I'm really sorry.
- Come on...
Let's go save someone for real.
Where? Where is he?
The Moon.
There? That?
Yes.
The Moon?
Hwang Sun-woo is alive.
Hey, check that out,
he's still alive!
A Youtube video containing

You can hear Hwang's voice
and he goes on to say that
I barely resolved the ammonia leak,
Mr. Hwang Sun-woo,
you're not sleeping, right?
No, I'm not sleeping,
I can't sleeping.
I'm taking deep breaths,
don't worry.
You can still fall asleep,
so let me ask you some questions.
Why did you join the SEAL?
I heard it's a reality brutal
Like you can't even wimp
Should I guess why
you volunteered for it?
I won't fall asleep,
can't we have some peace?
"I wanted to know
the limits of my pain."
During hardcore training
that tests you pain to the limit,
whether is be physical
or psychological,
you can't think about
We instinctively focus
on the greater pain.
Then was it because
of your father?
Because of the pain
you tell from his loss?
Am I right?

My family had it hard
after we lost my dad.
Listen.
You barely know anything about me,
you're sleeping out of line.

Are we not rescuing him?
We simply can't, am I right?
How do we fetch someone

We'll move him to a safe area for now.

He said it'd be dangerous
He asked for a 2-month delay.
He begged me for it.
But I refused.
There was a very low

for rejecting his request was...
after 5 delays, I was afraid that
