Original subtitles

Michi, we need to talk.

The last few months have made it clear to me

that we want different things from life.

You're taking over your parents' farm now

and you're talking about having children.

Children, Michi.

I still want to see the world,

maybe I want to study or move to a different city ...

I don't know.

But we shouldn't stand in eachother's way.

And that's why I have to break up with you.

And?

- That one was a bit harsh. - You don't want a hard "I'm breaking up",

nor a padded, softer "I'm breaking up". - Yes, I know.

- So? - I just don't want to hurt him.

And maybe I'll regret my decision in a few months.

You know, I do love him.

We just want different things.

Okay, then tell him that!

Tell him, you don't know right now, but you can't go on like this.

You might still make up your mind and be back on his doorstep in a few months.

Then he'll be waiting for you forever.

Dad, please.

Shit.

Okay.

I'll just go in there and get it over with.

- Yes, totally. You can do it. - Okay.

Just end it. Now.

Now.

- Resi, now. - Yes. Now.

Sophie, could you not?

Okay, I'll turn it off.

Sorry.

Good.

If she loves him, why is she breaking up with him?

Because they're not meant for each other.

And she noticed that just now.

Some things you don't notice right away.

Just ask Mom.

No, I didn't mean it like that.

Michi, we need to talk.

- Over the last few years I've realized ...

- Resi, I have to tell you something.

What?

I have a tumor.

Resi, do you remember, when we were on the mountain with the others.

We said that we'd all one day scatter our ashes up there.

Resi, you'll have to do that for me now.

My parents will want me buried in the cemetery,

but I don't want that. - Michi, don't say that.

Resi, worst case scenario, we only have half a year left.

- Yes, worst case scenario. - Yes.

Worst case scenario, Resi.

Doesn't have to be worst case ...

I'm sorry, Resi.

What did you want to tell me?

Nothing.

3 YEARS LATER...

WAGNER FAMILY FARM MILK - EGGS - CHEESE

Hey, where's the mourning ribbon?

- We must have forgotten it. - We?

Yes.

So it's not in the car?

No.

If I go looking in the trunk right now, it won't be in there by any chance?

No.

I see.

Excuse me.

- Oh God. - Oh, dear. Oh dear.

Oh God, I'm so sorry.

- Just a moment. - I ...

Don't worry, it's not the first time this happened.

Everything's back!

What are you doing here? The funeral starts in an hour.

Yeah, I just wanted to be alone with him for a bit.

- Are you his girlfriend? - Yes.

- Condolences. - Condolences.

Well ...

Would you like to be alone with him?

Yes, that would be nice.

- Of course. - Of course.

Yes.

- Yes. - Yes.

Hi.

Why did you park right here?

- Hm? - Why did you park here?

Oh, it's closer to the funeral.

Yes, but next to Michi's farm.

- Hi, how are you? - Hi Fipsi.

- Philipp. - He's all grown up now.

Hi, Mel.

Good, can we go? Before Michi's parents come out.

I thought we'd walk there?

Guys? Come on.

Let's go.

But why- ?

Okay, what's going on?

Do you remember the first time we were on top of Rotkopf mountain?

- When we tried to ... with the apple. - Right.

And Fipsi passed out.

I didn't pass out, okay? I was thinking.

Do you remember what Michi said there?

- Yes, that he wanted to stay there forever. - Yes.

What else?

That when we die, we'd scatter our ashes on the mountain.

That we'll still be united in death.

It's stupid, in Germany you can't just scatter them.

Exactly, and that's why we should go now.

Please don't tell me you stole his ashes.

Whoa.

What? It sucks to just let everyone think they're burying Michi.

- No, I left some of him there. - Seriously?

Now everyone gets what they want. Right?

You'll go to hell for that.

Yes, but it was his last wish.

Come on.

Okay. Fipsi, what do you think?

It would mean a lot to Michi, if you were there with us.

"It would mean a lot to Michi, if you were there with us."

That means yes.

Shit.

Okay.

How are you?

Look.

Australia?

Oh wow! When are you going?

The day after tomorrow.

Down Under.

You deserve it.

Thank you.

Oh shit.

Typical.

Please just shut up, Mel.

I didn't say anything, okay?

Yes, "typical".

- You could've called. - Why would I?

As if you were waiting for me to call.

- You could have called as well. - Why me?

You started dating this ... What's his name?

... Matze?

- Malte. - Malte, then.

You're such a child, you know?

Listen, we're here for Michi and for Resi.

Let's just leave it at that, okay?

Yes, okay. I'm a child?

I'm sick of this crap.

Could you just stop, both of you? It's been two years.

- Good God. - What?

If Mel stops acting like a cow we can leave it at that.

- Sophie? - Yeah?

- Philipp put a scratch in your seats. - You did what?

It's not a scratch, okay? It's just a rubber stain.

- You have to clean it up. - Red light!

Sophie, red light!

Shit, that was close.

- Is everyone alright? - Yes.

Thank God there was no traffic.

- 2,790 people per day. - In Germany alone.

- That's 116 per hour. - Per hour.

- Two per minute. - Per minute.

Divided between the 16 German branch offices,

that's 174 per day.

Even if we worked 24 hours non- stop, that'd be 8 minutes per person.

8 minutes.

- That's too little. - Way too little.

How are we supposed to meet everyone's needs?

And we need a break sometimes as well.

We're beat.

My dear Sylvia, my dear Rita,

of course, I'm taking your concern to heart.

But what am I supposed to do?

I'm only the head of department.

And if He-

If He thinks He needs a break, then we all have to deal with it.

And besides, you're only working at the reception.

What do you mean, "only"?

Exactly.

That's not what I meant.

I just think that other departments are a little more important than yours.

That's rude.

But true.

Oh, excuse me.

We handle all cases.

And after we sorted out half of them, only a small part goes to your department.

A tiny little part.

And that's where the real work starts.

She shouldn't mouth off like that.

We could also just quit.

You know as well as I do that you cannot just do that.

LUNCH BREAK

Where are we?

Are we dead?

Dude, if we're dead because you ruined my car, I'll kill you.

I think we're dead.

You're kidding, right?

Eh, excuse me ...

Could you tell us where we are?

(incomprehensible)

Sorry?

You have to take a number.

- Here? - Are you slow on the uptake?

Should we go in there?

Please.

At least we said something.

And again, it didn't change anything.

This has been going on for years.

No, for decades!

Can't you knock?

- We are ... erm. - Four at once?

So we only have eight minutes for them as well?

Welcome to-

Would you like to?

- Really? - Mhm.

Welcome to local branch office "Southern Germany III / 2".

- What branch? - We-

Branch office?

A branch office is a legally and economically dependent establishment

that is locally separate from the registered office of an organization,

has its own competencies and is assigned to a (main) branch.

Okay.

Let's start over.

Welcome to local branch office "Southern Germany III / 2".

Unfortunately, we have to tell you that...

- Oh no, please not. - Where did she go?

We need an ambulance.

It seems she's not quite dead yet.

Or she's being revived.

We can't really tell from here.

We- We are dead?

At the moment, yes.

No.

I told you ...

Stop it! Stop!

- Will you just- ? - Guys!

Let's calm down a little.

Oh my God!

Welcome to the branch office "Southern Germany III / 2".

Unfortunately, we have to tell you that ...

- Oh, good God. - This might take a while.

Too bad.

Let's continue.

Welcome.

Unfortunately, we have to tell you that you died and are now with us.

We will now take care of the transfer of your soul.

Did you believe in anything in life?

Be it religion, spirituality or just some conviction.

Then this is the place for you.

We have a special department for each belief.

Only if you believed in nothing,

unfortunately we'd have to send you into "the nothing" too.

Into "the nothing"?

Yes. Now let us have your numbers, please,

and we'll take a closer look at your cases.

- Yes. - Baptized Catholic.

And you?

I'm here with them.

You have to take your own number.

Without a number, nothing works here.

Unfortunately.

Do you want mine? You're the one who drew it.

Now, please.

Okay.

- What is it? - In case we don't see each other again.

I'm sure you'll be reunited in "the nothing".

I'm definitely not going there.

I'm sorry that I got you into this.

Stop it. If it's done, it's done.

- Fipsi. - Philipp.

Okay, it's time.

- Bye, Resi. - Could you at least-

Well, now we can continue.

- Welcome! - Don't bother.

Please, follow me.

Can someone tell me what ...?

Now. If you could just go in here for a moment.

But there is ...

Excuse me.

The machine is broken.

(incomprehensible)

Sorry?

Lunch. It's my lunch break.

Yeah, well. It's broken.

Someone's coming.

So, you're our number zero?

Uhm, yeah. My friends call me "Zero".

- What's that? - A lottery.

If you win, you get a free wish.

And we won't have to do all the paperwork.

- And? - And?

Blank.

What a pity.

Did anyone ever win?

Of course.

One, to be exact.

Good morning, ladies.

Morning routine!

Today will be nice and bright.

Oh good morning, dear sunlight.

Come, let's start, we're energized.

One, two, three, let's get to it.

Couldn't you turn it the other way?

What a genius idea.

And you can't do it faster?

Go turn it yourself, then.

Ok.

It's great to see such enthusiasm, just so you can ...

... get to "the nothing" faster.

We don't have that very often.

EMERGENCY EXIT

Today will be nice and bright.

Oh good morning, dear sunlight.

Come, let's start, we're energized.

One, two, three, let's get to it.

Nice. Yes.

That was great.

- That was fun, right? - I had a lot of fun.

- Wow. - Well, let's get to work.

Hello?

- What was that? - Can anyone hear me?

That's precisely one of those cases

about which I wrote so many requests to you.

And for which we finally need a reasonable solution.

And I'm sure you'll find that solution.

Pragmatically.

Great.

Fantastic.

- Don't you think- - Today will be ...

- Help! - Mel?

Hello?

Don't you dare!

Can you please tell me where I am?

She'll probably disappear again, soon.

I can hear you!

You should be happy.

That means she survived.

Just get me out of here, please!

Good.

Then, let's get to the ... bureaucratic part.

No.

Why didn't you do that right away?

Turning the little wheel, happens to be one of my favorite tasks.

Makes you look super- busy, but really ...

... you just get some time for yourself.

I hope you have a good journey.

Do you maybe need an intern?

Well, do you have the necessary qualifications?

Yeah, sure.

I'm ambitious,

I love mopping floors,

repairing things is my favorite hobby.

You could do some Sudoku riddles while I do things for you.

- Two rules. - Mhm.

- You don't talk to anyone. - Good.

And secondly, no games.

If you try to fool me in any way, you'll go straight into "the nothing".

Am I making myself clear?

Crystal clear.

Third rule: Only I push the cart.

I wish I was his intern.

You left the church two years ago, is that correct?

- Yes, 'cause of the abuse cases. - Because.

- What? - Because of the cases of abuse.

Did you continue to believe in God after you left the church?

Well, "believed" ...

I was baptized.

And why were you baptized?

I didn't choose to be.

It was my parents' decision.

"Baptized Catholic, but never a believer".

Then there's only one question left:

When you were alive, did you believe in any kind of afterlife?

As a child, I always thought I'd be reborn in The Land Before Time.

And what's that?

- A movie. - A cartoon.

Do you still believe in it today?

Of course not.

- Would that have been enough? - Sure, if you still believed in it today.

Since you didn't believe in anything relevant ...

Unfortunately you have no other choice, but to go into "the nothing".

Into "the nothing"?

Fipsi, what ...

What about Buddhism?

What about it?

On the mountain, you were raving about it.

I was stoned.

You were really enthusiastic about it and you also believed in it.

You know ... karma and rebirth.

Yes.

Yes, I still believe in it today.

In what?

- Buddhism. - Buddhism.

Buddhism?

Well, if that's the case, we respect every faith, of course.

Whether your faith suffices today

will be judged by the responsible specialty department.

You are sure you still believe in it?

Sure, of course.

Good.

Gitti, hello.

You also had 14-B the other day, right?

Yes, I know, it was awful.

I know, I know.

How did you do it?

So, you haven't told me your name yet.

Janitor.

Yes?

- Really? - Janitor.

I think as your intern I should know your name.

Janitor.

Alright.

Then I'll call you ...

Jack.

I've been given a lot of names in my time, but Jack?

Yeah. And the name can even reach a higher form.

A higher form? - Yes.

But you have to earn it.

Jackass.

Jackass.

Nice to meet you, I'm Zero.

I know.

Well, you can't walk around with me like this.

- What are you doing? - Listen.

Everything here is aimed at making the last step a little easier for you.

A frightened soul or one who clings to its old life

doesn't help anyone.

Trust.

Perfect.

It's a little scratchy.

You get used to it.

Come on, let's go.

But I already entered all the personal data.

Well.

Alright, then I'll get the necessary forms now.

- What's going on? - I'm a Buddhist.

And you?

Me? I believed in nothing. I'll have to go into "the nothing".

Say, say.

Are you sure?

Yes, I stand by my decision.

Well, okay.

Then you just have to quickly ...

... sign this form for us.

What's in the small print?

Just that you agree with the Terms and Conditions.

- Then I'd like to read them. - Excuse me?

I want to read the Terms and Conditions. - Nobody wants that.

I always read them.

Then come with me.

Where to?

Well, if you want to read the GTC you have to make a request.

Seriously?

Hey, I kind of imagined this differently.

Why? I thought you Germans loved bureaucracy.

What?

- No, who says that? - Everyone.

- So only Germans have to go through a bureaucracy in the afterlife? - Yes.

Really?

What about everyone else?

We can't tell anyone.

Otherwise, nobody would want to die here anymore.

Nobody wants to die here anyway.

Bella, are you alright?

Yes, I must have caught a cold. Sorry.

What was that?

"That"?

"That" was Bella.

- This monster is called Bella? - Monster? She's one of us.

Do all of you look like that?

Well, everyone as they wish.

Of course, we wanted to comply with your visual preferences.

But otherwise, everyone had free reign.

I think I'll have to take care of her.

You stay here.

- Yes. - Inconspicuously.

- Inconspicuously. - What are the two rules?

I don't talk to anyone and I don't fool you.

No whistling.

Inconspicuously, no whistling.

So, here we are.

I'll wait for you here.

Are you not coming?

For God's sake, no.

Good luck.

Uh, hello?

Hello?

I would like to file a request to read the Terms and Conditions.

Why?

Because ... I have a right to.

Why?

Because I have to know what I'm signing.

Why?

Because ...

Ms. Krüger. Could you please just sign this paper?

No.

Where is he?

Hi!

Who are you, now?

Hello?

Can't you speak?

Oh.

You can't speak?

Uhm.

I'm the janitor's intern.

Ah!

Great!

- Yes. - Then, come on, let's go.

Well, don't just stand around then. Look, we've got this problem here...

Hello?

Mel?

- Philipp? - Yes.

- Are you okay? - Philipp, where are we?

Do you remember our accident?

No.

What accident?

Don't you remember?

We drove into something.

A special transport. From the government.

This is a joke, isn't it?

No.

- You were unconscious for almost two weeks. - Two weeks?

We're in a research facility.

What if they carry out experiments on us?

They've been doing that for a long time.

Biochemical ones.

Philipp.

Okay.

I'm so sorry that I've been so shitty to you lately.

You know, I wanted to tell you this much earlier, but I ...

I don't know.

It was a joke.

Philipp, you're such an asshole.

Mel, we're dead.

Yeah, sure.

I'm sorry.

You know ...

... I always feel so small in your presence.

You're just so cool and quick- witted.

While I ...

I just try to keep up somehow.

And at the party, when we kissed ...

... that was all I ever wanted.

I just wanted to be cool as well, for once.

And people say you shouldn't be the one to call, because-

I don't know. I was such an idiot, Mel.

I should've told you from the beginning that I ...

... that I love you.

Mel?

Mel?

Very touching.

Mr. Kammermair, your forms.

You have to go to room 729.

Are you not coming with me?

It seems your heart already belongs to another woman.

Don't ask.

Was it ...

Erm ...

Well. Now we have to wait a little.

Amazing!

Great! Now it says "Ready".

Well, I normally know my way around.

I'm a pioneer in digitalization. I took part in all the trainings.

- I see. - But the hardware ... can be overwhelming.

But that's what we have you for.

You've been here for a while, right?

Yeah, yeah.

"A while" is underselling it.

I've been here before this even became a bureau. - Really?

Yes, oh my.

Those were the days.

Really? What was different?

Ah, well ...

Between you and me ...

He doesn't want us to talk about it, but ...

Well, I was ...

I was in charge of miracles back then.

Not just me, but ...

But I played a significant role.

Ah ...

That sounds like a lot of responsibility.

Yes, it is, indeed.

Yes, you're wielding a lot of influence. That's for sure.

He doesn't want anyone talking about it?

No! Shh. No.

And he's right, he's right.

It's rarely led to anything good.

Wars and so on. Because of these miracles.

But sometimes it gets to you, right?

Then I sneak into the room of miracles at night.

- Where- - Nulli!

Here!

So if I may speak freely.

Hire her immediately!

Immediately!

She showed an astonishing expertise, calmness and serenity solving this problem.

It was incredible. Incredible!

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!

It was brilliant ...

Ah, one moment.

What have you done to Fridolin?

- Homemade. - Oh!

- For the next coffee break. - Yes.

Enjoy it.

- Thank you. - Yes, yes.

Be sure to return the box!

No, no, it's fine, just keep it.

Well, we have to keep going.

Yes, yes.

- Thank you. - Yes, yes.

I would hire her!

Ms. Krüger, I really just need your signature.

Ms. Krüger?

Do you want to sign it together, maybe?

If you could ...

If you could just ...

Ms. Krüger, please.

I was told I'd need your signature to read the Terms and Conditions.

Please.

721: Mormons.

723: Druze.

725: Taoism.

727: Hinduism.

731:

SHINTOISM

What?

It looks terrible.

That's "the nothing".

Why didn't you make it a bit more inviting?

Nobody would ever want to go in there.

"The nothing" has always been this way.

Right. And if something's always been one way, that means you can't improve it?

No one's complained so far.

So, are you going in now?

What?

No, that's beyond question. I just wanted to take a look inside.

Come on.

I'll show you something.

Why don't you just let the non- believers continue to believe that there is nothing?

Aren't we doing that?

Come in!

Where's that thingy ...

Namaste.

Nice, nice to have you here.

Please, give me the form, so we can move forward.

Excellent. Have a seat.

Well ...

Philipp. May I call you Philipp?

Yeah, sure.

Alright.

Booting up ...

Alright.

Philipp ...

... Kammermeier.

It's, uh ...

"- mair" without "e", but with "ai".

- "Mair" with "ai". - Ah, okay.

Delete.

"- air".

Confirm.

Now.

Great. You're a Buddhist?

Yes, exactly.

- You too? - No, no, I'm not.

I'm just the person in charge of it here.

But I love doing it.

I'm sure you do.

I think we're ... basically done with this part.

We just need to print.

Come on.

Print.

Okay.

Come on.

Print.

Goddamnit!

I'm sorry. No offense.

It's not the first time.

- Why don't you try- - No, not now.

It's just been set up.

We don't question that.

Like a smart alec.

This is the button. This is the printer.

That's all there is.

Not bad.

Let's go, then.

Welcome to my kingdom.

Not bad.

Are you coming?

Dude, are you Jesus?

Zero, it's all an illusion.

You can do that too.

Nonsense.

Think of everything you've seen here already.

Why wouldn't you be able to walk on water?

Trust.

Focus on me.

And go straight towards me.

And always think, "I have solid ground beneath my feet".

"I have solid ground beneath my feet".

"I have solid ground beneath my feet".

You have solid ground beneath your feet.

No! You have solid ground under your feet.

Very funny.

Go faster. Otherwise we'll lose her again.

I'm going as fast as possible.

Shit, we're losing her! Go faster!

I'll take a shortcut.

COFFEE BREAK

A heavenly day to you.

Could you perhaps tell me how I ... Where am I?

- Coffee break. - Of course.

What are you doing?

Well, I'm waiting.

You're on your coffee break.

I'm really sorry for disturbing you,

I didn't mean to.

That's so nice of you.

Over there you have to take a number.

By the way, you're dead.

Yes, exactly, that's good.

- I'm glad you're so happy about that. - Yes.

Oh, shit.

Then that's it.

Excuse me, what about my patient?

- She survived. - That's good.

And again, some fancy doctor is gonna take credit for that.

You didn't die in vain.

Thanks.

I just wanted to be seen once.

Just once.

Just a little "thank you".

That would have been enough. Right?

But no, no time, not even for that.

So, Ms. Böhm.

Here are your Terms and Conditions.

That's all? You could have attached that.

Oh, no. That's just the overview for what you can find in which folder.

Here.

There's still more?

Just kidding. That's all.

Have fun.

Zero.

Listen, I-

In two to three days you will dissolve.

Well ...

What do you think would be going on here

if all souls that can't let go were still wandering around here?

I should've just broken up with him.

I still had so much I wanted to do.

Everyone has, always.

Everyone always wants to do everything better.

"More sports, better health."

"Better job, earn more money."

It's always all about the "more".

Well no, I really didn't achieve anything in my life.

That's complete nonsense.

You accompanied a person to their death.

That's quite a lot.

Four.

No, three.

Mel?

Yes.

I have to go now.

You can stay here until you...

Yes, just a moment.

Jack.

You're one of the good ones.

Not everyone thinks that.

Yes.

How can I retrieve the data?

Fridolin.

Did you try to turn it off and-

And turn it on again? Yes, we tried everything.

Someone came to fix it as it didn't work.

So you did turn it off and on again?

- Yes. - The computer?

No. Yes, no.

The printer. For heaven's sake.

Stop confusing me.

Excuse me, one question.

My data's on the screen, right?

Can't you just write it down or something? Do you really have to print it?

The young people.

Brilliant idea.

- Thanks anyway. - I love to help.

Come on, get lost.

Now let's try to get this done.

We'll write it down.

Excellent.

Would you kindly?

As if I had nothing else to do.

Well.

Can I choose how I will be reborn?

That's a test. You want to test me, don't you?

"Choose."

Well ...

We try to take it into account a little.

Since, depending on how you're reborn, we might see each other again here.

Until you're cleansed of all karmic impressions.

Yeah, I thought you looked familiar.

Don't distract me.

No, but we had a case once. That was a tragic story.

Nobody wants people to come back here every month, of course.

There was one gentleman we couldn't find a place for.

There weren't any good openings,

so we had to keep sending him to factory farming.

To factory farming?

That's just one of our places, with the most openings available.

What happened to him?

It was really tragic.

He just kept coming here.

We all tried cheering him up together.

To give him more confidence.

To make him work on himself.

So that he could reincarnate at a higher level.

No way, he didn't take any advice. No chance.

Frustration!

After the fourth time, he chose to go into "the nothing".

Here we go!

Now we'll do your karma test.

- Karma test? - Yes.

That's always exciting.

Of course, we have to check where you rank.

Karma-wise.

Well. I'd say I've always been someone who cared for his fellow men ...

You don't have to tell me all that.

We'll see all that on the screen soon enough.

I'm a pioneer in technology. Other departments should follow my lead.

Let's see ...

I'll press "Enter".

The calculation is running. We have to wait a bit.

My cup.

Pass it on. Careful.

Thank you.

"The only way out of the branch office,

excluding special decisions by specialty departments,

see Appendixes G, H, I / J ...

... is via miracle."

"By a unanimous decision, miracles and the dedicated room 042

are closed until further notice."

Zero!

I forgot my k- .

You probably know that condescending look.

When, for once, you had the guts

to say that you don't feel appreciated.

Yes.

Exactly, yeah.

And the worst thing is, when you make a mistake,

not even a big one that'd change anything, just a small one, a teeny- tiny one,

and they hold it against you for weeks.

For weeks! I know that feeling.

Okay.

- How about we give each other a little hug? - Yes.

Did you order something?

Do you have the delivery?

Yeah, sure, we ordered.

Thank you.

One Pizza Funghi, one Peperoni ...

What about Carsten's Diavola?

- You only ordered two. - Oh dear God.

Carsten, the lady forgot your pizza.

He'll starve to death now.

Just a joke.

- There's no one in there. - Not yet.

- Not yet. - But soon there will be.

When we're at the scene of the accident someone goes in there.

- Awful - Really awful.

And are you gonna pay or is it on Carsten as well?

- Not bad. - Carsten, you pay?

Jack, I-

Give me the key.

I only wanted to- uhm ...

The key.

- You ... - Now come.

- Jack, I really just wanted to ... - Come.

Yes.

- Careful. - Beg your pardon.

- Yes, please? - Yes, yes, please, yes, please.

He's a criminal. One of the worst kind.

- I told you ... - Be quiet, you call me "Sir" now.

This is unheard of! Good heavens!

- I told you, Sir, I didn't ... - Quiet! I want to hear from her now.

- Quiet! - So, what happened- ?

Yes, thanks for asking. Thanks for letting me speak.

The karma check showed that our friend here

has a karmic value of a very low Buddhist faith.

And that it's been like this for several years.

And he was involved in the theft of a corpse.

I had nothing to do with it.

Quiet, now. We're talking. Or rather, I am.

Impossible! Are they just painting their nails at the reception?

These things have to be noticed. Where are we?

Now please, you know very well that at the plenary meeting last year

it was decided that the reception is not in charge of these things anymore.

The specialty departments are in charge of this now. That means you.

- Yes. Then we are quite happy. - Yes.

Then there's no problem at all.

Why do we have a problem, then?

Then I'm done here.

I'll just send this fella down.

I'm sending him down,

without further ado.

- Don't look at me like that. - Down? - Oh, yes.

- "Down"? - Don't you think that's a little harsh?

I'm so fed up with people treating my department like this.

Just because I have a lower throughput than the Catholics. It's not okay.

I like my work, I take it seriously and I do it with care. - Yes, alright.

Well if you are so sure about it,

I'll bring him down now. - Yes, yes, please. Please.

Yes, I'm sure, yes.

- You can come with me then. - Go with her then.

You know what?

I'll just do it now. I just have to walk through a door after all.

Okay.

There's nothing in there.

That's what makes it "the nothing".

Okay.

Could you maybe give me a hug?

Pardon?

I have to go in there alone and you're the only one around.

A goodbye would be kind of nice.

Certainly.

- Take care. - You too.

Excuse me.

I think it's broken.

- Let me explain it to you, please. - There's nothing to explain.

But I can explain it.

- I've done it 50 times now, I think it's ... - One more time, please.

What's going on here?

For heaven's sake.

"The nothing" is broken.

- What? - I'm telling you.

"The nothing" has never been broken.

Did she just come out of it or not?

- Well, get out of there. - Yes.

- Hi! - Hey!

- I'll never leave you again. - What are you doing here?

I'm the janitor's intern.

I don't even know her.

What you do is your business.

But don't create even more work for us than what we already have.

Your number?

Good God, are you kidding me?

You can't just walk around without a number.

You're coming with me now.

And would you be so kind

as to bring Ms. Böhm to a waiting room until "the nothing" works again.

If it's not too much work for you, ok?

Well then?

Can I at least say goodbye?

- There's a room of miracles somewhere. - I know, room 042.

Take a number. Pronto!

This one?

Now.

Please, have a seat.

Get out.

I'm sorry.

Well?

Alright. Let's hear it.

What would you like to hear?

I know German, English, un poco italiano.

Alright. We can play it that way.

I'll sum it up: theft of a corpse.

- And that's only what we know so far. - It wasn't me.

Okay?

At least not actively.

What else will we find if we really start digging?

Nothing. It wasn't me.

Nobody ends up here because they didn't do anything.

Well, I haven't.

Okay? It wasn't me.

"It wasn't me" won't get you very far.

It really wasn't me.

I've had just about enough of you.

- It's only been a minute. - If you don't confess ...

... you'll never get out of here.

We don't like unreasonable souls around here.

It wasn't me.

Start talking!

- How long does it take? - Ten months, usually.

But I was born prematurely.

It'll be faster, then.

Please, sit down.

Number?

Your name is Theresa Bauer ...

It's her.

Sorry?

It's her!

Really?

What do you mean?

- Rita, tell everyone right away. - Yes!

What's going on?

"What's going on?"

It's time to celebrate!

- Hooray! A miracle! - What?

Are you coming?

Is "the nothing" broken?

Did you check the ventilation?

- Yes. - And the cable runs?

The fuse?

Yes.

Flashlight.

I'll take a look.

He's new.

Be patient with him.

Let it be, now. Otherwise we'll be late for-

Gone.

Well, I didn't see anything.

We should just go to the ceremony or this will be a lot of work.

But at least "the nothing" seems to work again.

Sometimes, things just move in mysterious ways.

- It's going to be great! - Yeah?

- Yes! - Here.

- Well, finally. - She's finally here.

And who found her?

We have to hurry, the others are waiting.

If you want to sacrifice me to some deity, I'll ...

Ladies, I'll take over from here.

- But Sylvia has- - And I'm very grateful to you for that.

But the lottery was my idea.

But it was-

Snip snap.

- Come. - Huh?

What the hell?

Quite the opposite, actually.

WAGNER FAMILY FARM MILK - EGGS - CHEESE

Come on.

No matter what we do, it's always wrong.

I think we're doing a lot of things right.

Michi.

Well.

Dear colleagues, dear friends, dear Michael, dear Resi.

We have gathered here to fulfill a wish of a very special person:

Michael, the first winner of our lottery.

It is to our great pleasure,

that our first winner is such an unselfish one.

Why?

Because in the decisive moment,

when he was granted a wish,

he did not just think of himself

but also of his great love: Resi.

His wish was for you both to spend every day together, in eternity,

here at the family farm.

Especially since you were tragically denied this opportunity in your lifetime.

So now ...

Let's get to the most important question.

- Do you, dear Resi ... - No.

We'll try that again.

Do you, dear Resi ...

No.

I don't want this.

- I should have told you earlier. - But Resi ...

Resi, you know, if you refuse...

... we'll have to send you into "the nothing".

And Michi as well.

You couldn't possibly be that selfish, right?

Yes, I am.

Theresa!

- We're talking about eternal life! - Yeah, sorry.

For heaven's sake!

She'll be comin' round the mountain When she comes

She'll be comin' round the mountain When she comes

She'll be comin' round the mountain ...

She'll be comin' round the mountain When she comes

Singing 'aye aye yippee yippee aye'

Singing 'aye aye yippee yippee aye'

Singing 'aye aye yippee yippee' 'aye aye yippee yippee'

'aye aye yippee yippee aye'

Come on, sing along!

- What? - Come on.

No.

Please, please, please.

She'll be comin' round the mountain When she comes

She'll be comin' round the mountain When she comes

Please shut up, okay? Shut up!

She'll be comin' round the mountain When she comes

Singing 'aye aye yippee yippee aye'

Singing 'aye aye yippee yippee aye' ...

Can't someone turn this off? Hello. Hello!

Can someone turn off the fish? Hello!

Hello!

Hello!

Hello?

- Help! - Hello?

Can anyone hear me?

Michi.

I'm sorry.

- Michi. - I don't get it.

You'd rather go into "the nothing" than be here with me.

Isn't that what we always wanted?

No. I never wanted that.

The day you told me you had a tumor I actually wanted to break up.

- What? - Yeah.

Why didn't you do it?

Who would break up with someone who has cancer?

Didn't you love me anymore?

Yes, I did.

Of course. I mean, you're a great guy. It's just ...

It's just ...

I can't do all this, it's not ...

So now I have to go into "the nothing"?

Did you ever think about me?

Yes. All the time, until the end.

That's why we're all dead.

Because I wanted to scatter your ashes as you wished. - We?

Fipsi, Mel, Sophie, all of us. We had a car accident.

So my ashes are lying in some roadside ditch?

No, only half of your ashes.

Fridolin was only part of it.

- She's the main problem. - Yes!

- She's the problem. - Who'd expect her to say no?

But who can solve the problem, if not her?

You're aware that you just rejected eternal life?

Yes.

I don't want it.

Why did you steal my key, then?

To get back to life somehow, I thought.

No, back to my life.

That's a big difference. I just wanted to live my life, for once.

You're clinging to things you can't change anymore.

Yes.

Sucks, right?

At least you didn't run away from your decisions anymore.

But now I'm guilty that he's lying in the roadside ditch.

I'll leave you to it.

Take care, Zero.

It was nice to meet you, Jack.

You too.

Oh, by the way ...

... you'll have to make a sacrifice.

A sacrifice?

He is a Jackass.

A disaster.

Golly!

- What are you doing here? - How did you get the keys?

- From the janitor. - Really?

And where are you going?

Room 042.

The head of department will go crazy.

Down the aisle to the left.

- Like the wind! - Like the wind!

We don't have much time!

What's going on here?

Sophie!

- Philipp! - Get me out of here.

- Where are we even going? - To the room of miracles.

Fipsi!

Philipp!

Oh my God!

- Resi! - Oh God.

- What happened? - Michi wanted to marry me.

- What? - Michi?

Hey, hey! Here! The room of miracles!

Three.

Lovely.

They could've told us earlier.

Where are we supposed to put them?

Maybe we could try ...

Try what?

Well, maybe they can ...

- You can't be serious? - Three birds, one stone.

- Hello. - Hello.

- We have to rearrange them, right? - Yes.

Almost got it.

Do you want to sit down?

- What? - All good, go on.

- I can move my wrists again. - Really?

I swear, one of them will fit.

- Resi? - I almost got it.

- There are only seven left. - Quiet. There's someone-

- Got it! I got it! - Oh my God.

Let's go.

Guys, over there!

Come on.

This is supposed to be a miracle?

Looks like "the nothing".

Okay.

Then ...

Let's go.

Stop! Stop!

Jack said something about a sacrifice.

Wait.

Maybe someone has to go through one door

so that someone else can go through the other door.

Guys ...

I'm telling you right away.

I'm not sacrificing myself for anyone.

- What? - Resi, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.

Philipp, we all wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. So you go first.

- What? Absolutely not. - Yes.

- You were driving, Sophie. You should go. - And who put a stain on my seat?

"Eyes on the road." The first rule of driving.

Okay, guys! I'll go.

No way. - Yes, Fipsi is right.

If I hadn't talked you into it, we wouldn't be here.

Wait, I'll do it!

Michi! Oh my God!

You look great.

You too.

Hey.

A- Are you sure?

All good. It's your turn, now.

Don't you want to go back?

It's too late for me.

My ashes have already been scattered.

Wait a minute.

Do we really want to risk it? We can still sacrifice two for two.

- What? No, no, no it will work. - Yes, it's going to work.

- I'll open the gate by going through a door. - Right.

And how do you know?

You learn a few things when you ...

See you in the next life.

You didn't believe in that.

Okay. Let's go.

Hello, Zero.

What are you doing here?

We're going into "the nothing".

I made it as easy as possible for you.

But th- then ...

What about the others?

You gave them the gift of life. Two miracles, two sacrifices.

That's it, then?

Are you ready?

- I told you it was going to work. - Yeah.

Excuse me?

What are you two doing here?

We need a new company car.

Please.

Please.
