At ten on the Torino Scale...

...the asteroid Horus is officially a "global killer".

The potential impact could endanger our biosphere and cause mass extinctions...

Hey?

...and even eradicate all life on Earth.

The US government and NATO will make an official statement

to more precisely define further actions.

Dad!

Mum!

Klaus, between us, you should make this decision with a clear head.

I say that as a friend, not as your bank advisor.

You know what I'd do if I were you, Carsten?

I'd invest in a bunker too. - What if your business fails?

How will you make the payments? - Who says I'll ever have to pay them?

I beg your pardon? - If it happens no banks will exist.

Nor will the debt exist.

You won't exist either. - The Yanks will blow it up.

One for you...

and one for me.

On the day of Mum's funeral?

Really, Dad? - This is an important loan, hedgehog.

Important?

Mum was important!

EIGHT DAYS

The Defence Ministry denies rumours

of deserters from the German Army.

Such incidents within the armed forces

serve only to protect democratic...

...armed groups have stormed 12 bunkers.

Despite Army denials,

eyewitness reports leave no doubt.

German soldiers are firing on each other.

The sad climax of the biggest scandal our corrupt politicians...

Cunt! - My name is Petra Cosin.

I am reporting live from the capital. - Bye.

Marion?

It'll hit thousands of kilometres away.

2,500 isn't far away enough. We have to face reality.

And what about the cellar? We just have to go down deep enough.

The blast wave isn't decisive.

When the Allies bombed Hamburg it set off a firestorm.

The entire city burned at over 1,000 degrees.

People hid in their cellars,

but the fire was so immense it sucked the oxygen out of them.

Most people suffocated. That wasn't the worst of it.

The heat was so intense it made water boil inside pipes

and pipe after pipe burst.

The water flowed into the cellars.

Those who didn't drown were boiled alive.

The cellars got so hot people fled to the surface anyway.

I don't know what's going to happen,

but it'll definitely be worse than that firestorm.

And I know I'm not dragging Leonie and Jonas into a cellar.

What are you doing here on the floor?

Do you have any vodka anywhere?

So, tell me,

where is your...

...girlfriend. - Her name's Marion.

Marion.

She's vanished.

It's over.

It's through.

We're done.

The whole lot of us.

You should look for her.

Family is important, you know.

Yes.

Love.

I know what you think.

You think I'm incapable of love, but that's not true, I...

I just can't really show it.

I always loved you guys, always.

And I don't want you to make the same mistakes I made.

She just left.

I don't know where she is.

Then let's look for her.

Does she have family?

When I was in the hospital I...

I got something else.

Medication.

Pentobarbital sodium.

A few grams are enough.

You fall asleep.

You go into a coma.

Within ten to 20 minutes you stop breathing.

It's absolutely painless.

I put it up in the chest of drawers.

I just don't want the two of them to suffer.

Nora's father, he...

I was at his place looking for Leonie recently.

He completely redid his cellar.

Frankenberg?

Yes.

What do you mean?

He turned it into a bunker.

Well, officer? Do you need our help again?

You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

Men, this is Deniz, Denis with an "S".

He's one of us from now on.

He's a survivor too.

We'll see about that.

Give it here! - Elvis, don't piss about!

Hard hours are ahead. The mob's on edge.

I'm counting on you! - I was joking.

Christ!

Give it to him.

Go on, give it to him!

Bloody copper!

Should I come along? - No. I'm a grown man. Don't drive off!

Petra!

Where is she?

Where is she? - Who?

Don't play games! Where's Marion?

Not with you? - Go fuck yourself!

Self-righteous bitch!

Do you know what you've done?

People are dying because of your stunt!

You nasty piece of work! - Oh no, Herrmann. Look in the mirror.

Now piss off! I have a show to do.

The truth is a precious commodity...

Shit! So that's your level?

Listen, Petra... Petra...

Petra, stop it! Stop it now!

Stop it!

"Politician beats up journalist".

What a story! - Ex-politician, you stupid arsehole.

Ex, you wanker!

Marion wants nothing to do with me.

Because of you.

The truth always prevails in the end!

That'll protect everything. When it's over you pull it back out.

Lutz, the old fox.

He acted like my bunker was bigger than his "little cave".

Klaus!

Can you come, please?

Elvis, what is this?

Hi. René.

My cousin, René. - Well, well.

Your cousin. - Since there's space in the bunker...

Introducing your whole sodding family? That's nice!

Who are we?

You are Klaus, my boss. - "Who are we?" is what I asked.

The survivors. - Very good.

And now think nice and hard.

What's the difference between us

and your sodding cousin?

We will survive, if none of us blabs about our bunker to strangers.

And he'll have to croak with the rest of them outside.

René isn't a stranger. He's cool... - Tell him that!

"You have to croak with the rest of them outside."

You might not be able to...

Tell him!

You...

have to croak with the rest of them outside."

Very nice.

If this happens again you lose your spot in the bunker

and you can watch the fireworks from outside.

Do you understand me?

Yes. - Do you understand me?

Yes.

Shit! - So?

How was it?

Oh, that cunt!

That cunt!

That stupid, stupid cunt! That lying cunt!

Who does she think she is?

I'd love to take that feminist bitch and...

I met Theo yesterday.

My ex.

What?

Theo.

I was once with him, that was ages ago.

What?

You're gay?

My first true love happened to be a man.

He looked marvellous.

He was slender, delicate. He was so sweet.

And now

he's nothing but an old fart.

And with Mum?

What about Mum? - You and Mum, was that just playacting?

No.

It was a good marriage. Yes, it was.

Just, when we...

Well, you know, in bed.

I often closed my eyes and thought of Theo.

Oh, Dad, I... - He had an incredible dick.

Dad, I don't want...

I don't know if I want to... - And so I drive over there yesterday.

As if I could repair my life just metres before the finish line.

Marion? - Herrmann, wait!

Who are you? - I'm looking for my wife.

Get out!

Get lost! We're full up here.

Got it? We have no space for you.

Piss off!

I don't want to join you. - Everyone does!

You don't get it. Underground stations are huge coffins.

Hands off!

I'll shoot!

I'm a National People's Army officer. I'll blow your heads off!

We'll find her.

It's just a cut. - Leave me!

What's the point of this?

You don't give a shit about me and now we're best friends?

It's too late.

It isn't too late. - Yes, it is too late.

Yes, when we're dead.

Then it's too late.

In three days.

Ben?

What's wrong?

It was your father.

I know it.

Let's go.

The two of us, away from here.

What are you talking about? - Domi. The poison gas!

Shit! What was that? - You'd better get going.

This is private property!

Nora, we're going. - No you're not! Why are you here?

Murderer! - I beg your pardon?

The poison gas was you and the other twats!

It killed a friend of mine!

Copper, arrest him.

You've fried your brain with drugs! - I have proof.

From your e-cig. I found it by the villa.

OK.

It was me. Sorry.

Oh, you got me. I fumigated all the cockroaches.

Confessing like this feels really good. I'm sorry!

Aren't you going to do anything? - Is it true?

No, of course not. I was joking.

Fuck you! - Hey! Hey!

No wonder your wife killed herself.

How did she put up with such an arse for so long?

Hey, look at me. Look at me.

Go now, OK?

Go!

Piss off, baldy!

LOVE

Excuse me.

He is over there.

Leonie, you're here too.

Hey, sweetheart, welcome aboard.

Hey. What are you doing?

What are all these people doing here?

People are like crosses.

When you hug you give and you receive.

Your ship won't save you. You know that.

Horus will save us. Don't be afraid.

Come on.

Do your tattoos have a meaning?

I don't know.

I have one too. A small one.

My best friend Nora has exactly the same one.

We got them together last year.

For all eternity.

Tell me about yourself.

Who are you? Where do you come from?

Look there.

Come on.

Careful.

That's me.

And there you are.

We are hovering in the heavens.

I missed you so much.

I missed you too.

Whatever happens now...

we're staying together as a family.

That's the most important thing.

When a star dies

then all the dust scatters throughout the universe.

And then...

our bodies are made of that dust.

We're stars.

Everyone

is everything.

Always. - Where did you read that rubbish?

I can't read.

But I can see.

I hear.

And I smell.

You're a virgin, aren't you? - What? Are you mad?

What makes you... I mean I'm...

Come.

I'll baptise you.

Are you ready?

I have to tell you something.

No one blames you.

Leonie doesn't either.

She told you?

You didn't make it onto the train because you were scared.

You were in a panic.

I've been having an affair.

For a few months now, that is...

I had one.

It's over.

Do I know him?

I'm sorry.

Uli, you're my husband.

You're the father of my children.

I want you to be with me when...

when this is all over.

Please forgive me.

Thanks for being so honest.

Then let's go see him.

What?

Go see Frankenberg.

If he has a bunker he has to let us in.

I'm not really the type to...

to just sleep with every...

Yes.

You are as you are. - In such times faith keeps us going.

Yes, we're all looking for answers, for possibilities,

but this isn't an ark.

And this here, this isn't a cross.

No priest has blessed this cross at mass.

These are just wooden slats from a DIY store.

You can't touch the cross.

You can't touch the cross!

Hi, Robin.

You told these people you're building an ark?

How dare you toy with their fears?

We will sail it into... the light.

Are you on drugs?

OK, Robin, you're not Noah.

And this boat isn't an ark.

Tell these people

what God told Noah in the Bible.

Haven't you read the Bible?

Haven't you read the Bible?

God told Noah he'd never again curse the ground because of humans.

God told Noah it was the last flood. That's what the Bible says.

He speaks to me.

Who?

God?

Through Horus's light.

Every day.

Horus is a chunk of black rock.

Horus is a natural phenomenon,

a disaster we have to deal with, with God's help!

Does he speak to you?

Does he speak to you?

Odin only speaks to Robin.

He speaks to him. - Piss off, mate!

You coming, Ursula?

Ursula.

You want to stay here.

Who are you?

I have done things.

Not good things.

But we have all done things! - We have all done things!

And now we are all

going to sail into the light together.

Into the light! - Sail into the light!

No fear! We're sailing into the light.

We're sailing into the light!

With you!

Do you want some more of this?

No, thanks.

Dad?

Thanks for your help.

You sure are a strange bird.

Yeah.

An old coot is what you mean.

It was you, wasn't it?

Someone died. He was a friend of mine.

Oh, hedgehog!

Yes, I'm sorry. That was...

It was an accident no one wanted to happen.

But, to be honest, they're all basically dead already.

But we're not.

We're the survivors.

There are things Daddy had to do you don't understand yet.

But it's important that we have each other in the new world,

that we aren't alone.

Grow up!

Mr Frankenberg, we want to talk.

My wife told me about your cellar.

Oh, yeah? Did she now?

You have a bunker. I freed you from it.

Oh, yes. Thanks again.

You were looking for your daughter? - Yes.

Or were you looking for me? - No.

Have you found your daughter? - Yes.

Weren't you going to tell me when you found her?

That's true.

You're right. Sorry. - No biggie.

You barely know me. I slipped your mind. - No, you didn't.

Listen, Klaus. First name's OK, right?

She said your bunker's big. I'm a physicist. There must be a way...

Then she forgot our agreement.

We didn't want to tell anyone about it.

It stayed in the family. No one knows. We're not strangers, are we?

I'm your daughter's teacher. - Yes. You're actually a clever man.

You know what I find odd?

That a clever man like you didn't build his own bunker.

Yes, time was short, but it wasn't really that short.

We all thought it made no sense. - Yes, that's just the problem.

It's no one's fault but yours.

Listen, Klaus, I...

I'd really do anything for this.

Goodness gracious!

Where's your pride? - I don't care about my pride.

I just want my family to survive. - My new friend Uli.

Piss off.

Before you make a fool of yourself.

No. I'm staying here till we...

Till what? - Stop, please!

Till what? - Stop!

Take a swing, come on!

No, Mr Frankenberg. - So formal now?

Let's go. OK? Come on.

Susanne!

I don't get it.

If you had come alone, who knows? But with Uli?

Bye, Uli.

It was the copper, right?

I knew it.

He was in our house when we got there.

So? Was he in our bed too?

I told you it's over.

Is that why you didn't get on the train?

Because you wanted to be with him.

He's why you jeopardized our escape! - Stop it!

That isn't true, Uli!

The train left. It was simply too fast for me.

Are you mad? It didn't have to do with you or with him.

Sure, the others are always to blame. It's always the others. Christ!

Hello, precious. Where's Leonie? - No clue.

It's family dinner night. - Hey, good idea!

What can I make? - No, I'll make Uli's famous...

Lasagne! Yes! - That's great.

Dad, look. - Whoa! That's crazy.

I'll just put the water on to boil.

It was my fault. I should have known he was a sadist.

Oh, well...

Let's not talk about it.

We'll find another way.

Leonie!

Everything OK? - Yes, why?

The odd smile.

So what's his name?

A boy from school? - It's none of your business.

Plus, you don't get it. - Yes I do.

Now I'm in goal. - I'm happy for you. Really.

It's so sweet! - Oh, Mum!

Dad's lasagne! - No, it's hot.

One... - No!

And again. Come on, really smash it! Nice.

How can Dad block it all out?

And over here. Yes! Get the ball.

I think he's the only one who never did.

Leonie, come and help a sec.

Over to me! To me, Jonas.

Go, you've got it!

Oh! Through my legs!

Come on! - I'm playing too! To me!

Yes!

Who wants a glass of wine? - Me!

Yeah? - What? You're worrying me.

Well, I mean, if he likes the taste?

This is a good red.

With sparkling water it's a spritzer. - No, this way's great.

A toast. Look each other in the eyes.

Cheers! - And? Is it good?

It's really sour! I don't like it. - You don't? Then give me yours.

How can you drink that?

Don't like it? - It's gross.

What are you doing, Uli?

Why?

Because I cheated on you?

It was your idea, wasn't it?

And you were right. It's best for all of us.

When were you going to tell me?

We're going to Grandpa's. - Why?

Now. It's a surprise. - What is it?

Come on, Jonas. No objections! Leonie, you too.

Come on! - What? What's going on, Dad?

Ouch! - Come on.

Dad, what is...?

Herrmann's sleeping.

He was looking for you all over. You're Marion, right?

Egon. I'm... - I know.

He even got in a fight for you. - A fight?

Yes, with some bitch.

You got yourself a good man. - Yes.

He could be a good man if he wasn't such an arsehole.

I know.

He's a bit slow on the uptake.

He's my son.

It'll take a bit longer for him

to grasp what's really important in life.

But will you promise me that you'll take care of each other?

All three of you?

Please.

Bye.

Mum!

Mum! Where the hell are you?

That was a shitty stunt you pulled.

Nora?

Help!

Ben.

Mr Frankenberg! I can't believe it.

I figure we have about 40 hours left.

If I jabber with you for ten seconds

I'll be wasting about a year of my life

in terms of a German's average life expectancy.

Or three weeks if you're in the last stages of gall bladder cancer.

And I don't want to spend weeks with an idiot like you.

Think nothing can happen to you since you're about to die?

Wrong!
