The Planetary Defense Coordination Office was today forced to concede

that - contrary to all accounts - its rocket mission was a failure.

Turn left.

The US and Canada have closed their borders to further refugees,

following similar moves from Russia and China.

All intercontinental flights have been cancelled since this morning.

The flow of refugees continues unabated.

The asteroid Horus remains on a collision course with...

Let's go.

Come.

Come, come, come.

Down here.

Careful.

Please follow the signposted exit routes. This is the police speaking.

Meissner, Herrmann Meissner. And Marion Cosin.

I can't hear you. Hello?

Yes, we have an exit permit.

We are working closely with the US, and holding talks with our partners...

We have an official exit permit, yes. - ...exit routes for our citizens.

Yes, thank you. - Please await evacuation instructions.

I strongly advise our citizens

not to attempt to cross the border on their own accord.

Dawid?

This isn't what we agreed. - It's all we have.

I told you my price.

Here.

It's all we have left.

Wait.

Wait! You've got to take us!

Please! Do it for my family.

Please, you've got to...

Take our wedding rings. Here.

Come on.

Here.

Right, let's go.

Come on, Jonas.

There are rumours the German government will be flown out to the US.

I don't respond to those kinds of conspiracy theories.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Hello?

Morning.

...whether the rocket mission was simply a PR stunt.

That is what our citizens must ask themselves.

As it has so often recently,

the German government remained silent on the key issues.

In my view, we also need to be sceptical about the government's evacuation plan.

The asteroid Horus remains on a collision course with the Earth.

It is expected to strike the French city of La Rochelle in eight days.

Europe finds itself within the so-called "kill zone".

EIGHT DAYS

47. Looting on Lüderingstrasse.

Three suspects fled the scene.

20. Chausseestrasse.

Two units required on Kollwitzplatz.

Approximately ten people brawling in the street.

Hey, you!

Freeze!

Freeze!

Are you fucking nuts?

You broke my nose.

Up you get. - Fuck you!

I want to speak to my lawyer.

Where you been, Denis? - Dealing with this guy.

Be quick. They're in the conference room.

It's my constitutional right.

Why have we stopped?

What's wrong?

Why have we stopped?

Soldiers.

I'll be brief:

Parts of the motorway will be closed off. Military and emergency vehicles only.

Stop anyone attempting to escape.

They are undermining national security.

Make them aware that shots are being fired at the border.

People dying, criminals killing and mugging refugees.

Tell them, OK?

Anyone who defies public order is to be taken into custody.

Rioters, protesters or any other kind of hooligans are not to be tolerated.

And let me remind you that - as of today - the police force is under Army control.

No way! - Desertion is a capital offence.

Any questions?

Yes, go ahead.

When is this evacuation of Europe going to take place?

You will be informed in due time.

That's all from me. Best of luck.

What's going on here?

I'm a policeman, I want to live too. My family!

The coward! They're all cowards!

And Maiwald?

Right, OK.

I got us two places. - What? Oh my God!

How'd you manage that?

A helicopter will pick us up at 9 pm from the hospital roof.

It'll take us to a US airbase, and they'll fly us over.

We're going to have a little American.

Aren't you happy?

I am.

I am.

But what about my sister?

And your family?

And all the other people...

I have to get going.

See you later.

Hey, what the hell?

Fuck.

Mobile phone, mobile phone?

Mobile phone.

You too, kids. Leonie.

There are soldiers here and here.

They shoot on sight.

There's an old railway line that runs along here.

Tonight there'll be a secret train going to Belarus, and then Russia.

Hide in container.

Container? Hold on a second. What kind of train is it?

It takes "toware" to Russia.

You mean a goods train? - Yes.

That was never agreed.

Where are we supposed to get on?

I don't see any stations.

Barricade.

We make a barricade here.

Climb on train.

What?

Not very high.

We can't climb on a goods train, we have children.

What?

It's cortisone for his rash.

I'm a doctor. Give it to him and never touch me again.

Everything OK?

I'm not doing it.

I can't put Leonie and Jonas at risk like that.

You can't ask that of me. - What else do you suggest?

We're as good as dead.

Unless we let these people get us over the border.

That can't be the alternative. - It's just how it is.

No ID?

You have no right to do that. - Where do you live?

Next week I'll live in a huge crater. Just like you.

Very funny.

What's this?

Hey, man. We're eight days from the apocalypse.

Why are you still working?

If we all behave like animals, eight days will feel like a lifetime.

So, tell me where you live.

We're completely overwhelmed.

Put the ravioli in the microwave, hedgehog. I'll be there in ten.

Thanks!

Fuck.

Hello.

Can I come in?

Laika!

How's it going?

You've gotten all old.

How old is she now?

I'm drinking my way through my collection.

17 years in the National People's Army.

All bottled up.

We got one at every New Year. I have one for every year of service.

Take a seat.

It'd be a shame to lose it to the comet.

Cheers.

Go on then. What news?

What's going on in the world of big politics?

And how's your...

...Marion. - Marion, that's it.

She's pregnant? - Yes.

I heard. Susanne told me.

Eight months. - Not long to go now then.

Your sister.

She's done a runner.

Last night.

Soon as they said those Yank rockets were going nowhere.

If the Soviets had continued with their space programme,

things would be very different.

Very different indeed.

And Uli?

Found some traffickers on the internet. Who'd have thought?

I told her not to, I said it's way too dangerous.

They'll be at the border now.

Where the evil Russian will shoot poor little Jonas.

That's not funny, Dad. - And you?

A big shot like you... What are you going to do?

It seems as though...

It seems that Marion and I may perhaps...

be able to go to the US. - Oh, wonderful.

America's...

Congratulations.

Cheers. To the ruling classes.

Dad, I did everything I could so you could all come with us.

Almost 400,000 dollars.

It's all for you. You can have it.

I'm sure with that you'd be able to...

That's how it is, huh?

Paying me off?

Who do you think you are?

You show up here

to buy yourself a clean conscience.

Get out of here!

Take care then.

This is Susanne Steiner's mailbox. Please leave a message.

Susanne?

Call me! I heard you're headed for the border. Don't do it!

I'm sure there's a better solution.

Just call me, OK?

Call me...

Nora?

What happened to your hand? - I cut it opening a tin.

Let me see.

Hedgehog.

Food's almost ready.

Look what I got. A comedy.

Shall we eat first?

Thanks.

Try it. I put some basil on it, just how you like it.

Come sit with me.

You hungry, Pepper?

You actually brought him with you? - Pepper's part of the family.

Just don't let Mum see.

Hey, Dad told us to stay here.

Leonie?

Hey, there's no need to be scared.

It's just a pig. It's just a dead pig.

Could you get me a beer, hedgehog?

But only if you eat your dinner. - I will...

It's yummy.

There you go. - Thanks.

You should eat something too. - Nah...

You were about to eat it just before.

I'm not hungry.

Try it.

No...

Eat.

Hey! What the hell!

Looking for this?

Your childish behaviour proves I was right.

It's for your own safety.

Let me go! - Stop this!

It's gonna be hell up there in a week.

People are gonna go nuts, you're staying down here.

Please.

Let me out.

Don't, I said.

Let me out!

Fuck! Let me out!

Let me out of this fucking coffin!

Jacek.

Leonie.

Stop. Leave me alone. - No.

Hey no! Leave me alone.

What are you doing to her?

What did you do to her? What did you do?

Stay right where you are. Nice and easy. - Mum!

He touched my daughter.

Calm down. It must be a misunderstanding. Please put the gun down.

Get out!

Out!

Careful with the gun.

We don't understand you.

They're going to kill us. Uli, do something.

Jacek!

Fuck off! Get out of here!

HORUS IS COMING: HOW MANY DAYS DO WE HAVE LEFT?

Elvis, what are you still doing here? - Boss, I...

I'm just going through the yellow ones again.

I didn't know where to go.

Come here. Come here.

Did I do something wrong?

No, you didn't do anything wrong.

Elvis, you're a good man. I can rely on you, right?

Of course, boss. Any time.

I knew I could.

And now it's time for your reward.

I know what you've had your eye on all this time.

I've never dared ask, but that's part of the reason I stayed.

I saw the whole bunker be built and now that it's just you and Nora...

Come, let me show you something.

So, what d'ya say?

It's as good as new. Only 230 on the clock.

Not much for a diesel.

There's no need to thank me.

Quid pro quo, Elvis.

You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

Why can't you chill out and let me go?

Don't you have a wife or a family?

Are you gay?

Hey, this is your life too!

Name and address. Then I can file the report and inform your parents.

It's now five hours since you arrested me.

Considering we're doomed in eight days, in real terms that's...

almost exactly one year.

Losing five hours now is the equivalent of losing a year in an 80-year lifetime.

You've had me detained for a year for smashing a window.

That's a good one.

I like that.

So that means that this...

was three weeks.

Out you go.

Go.

Go!

Leonie, you coming?

It's piritramide. A painkiller.

It'll take the pain away for a few hours.

Here. This is for later, OK?

I'm not your mother.

Andi, what shall we do with the boy? He won't talk to me. Shall we...

What are you doing?

How long have you been here, Denis? - Six years.

You're a good police officer.

You would've gone a long way.

If you don't show up for duty tomorrow, no one's going to file a report.

Marion?

We have to get going.

Hey.

How's our child going to live? - Sorry?

What kind of world will it live in?

We really have to go.

They say the sky's going to be dark. Everywhere.

Even in America.

How is our child going to...

How can any child live in that world?

If it can't see the sun.

How can it?

The dust...

It won't be there forever.

And we're going to live.

Our child's going to live.

And you know you shouldn't take so much of this.

We really have to go now.

Come on.

I hope it wasn't because of me.

What?

You killing him.

Are you kidding? I gave him painkillers.

Leonie, what just happened... - Leave it.

The boy... - I don't want to talk about it.

Hey.

Over there! The tracks, the trainline!

Get up.

You're free to go.

Beat it.

If I catch you again, I'll lock you up for the next 80 years.

Off you go.

Thank you.

Ha! Opium of the people!

Fucking priest wankers.

Careful, Leonie.

Come on, Jonas. Quickly, quickly. Give me your hand.

Careful. Susanne, jump up!

Mum! Mum!

Mum!

Forget the bag! Give me your hand!

Uli!

No!
