About 65 million years ago

a large asteroid hit Earth.

So much rock, dust and ash was flung into the atmosphere

that the sky darkened and the climate changed for a long time.

Dinosaurs and many other species went extinct.

Other species profited

that were best equipped to adapt to the climate change: mammals.

They had been in the dinosaurs' shadow since evolving in the Mesozoic Era.

Now they could spread rapidly, move into various habitats and evolve.

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, BERLIN 20 DAYS BEFORE IMPACT

Homo sapiens also stem from this group.

This most recent era continues to this day.

It is known as the Cenozoic Era, meaning "new life".

What do you see? - Nothing.

Why not?

Because you're shining a light in my face.

Yes, because the sun shines at us and the asteroid Horus...

Susanne, come here, please. You're Horus, OK?

Horus is covered in a layer of carbon dust a metre thick,

blacker than the blackest black on our planet.

That's why Horus was discovered so late.

We didn't see it. What do we do now?

Atomic bombs? - Precisely!

To give Mum the propulsion she needs

so she vanishes, so she flies past us.

And goes off into the distance.

All right, I have to lock up now.

Of course. Let's get going.

And what if it doesn't work?

If what doesn't work? - The missiles.

It'll work. No need to be afraid. It'll work.

Yeah.

EIGHT DAYS

What are you doing here?

Don't pine away.

Your marriage isn't the first to be reduced to rubble.

It's nice you came.

A lovely surprise.

What is it?

You're different somehow.

That's my schadenfreude

about this shitty world finally going under.

No.

You're happy.

And crumpled. - That's all right too.

If I were to tell you that...

there might be a chance of survival

would you come with us?

No.

I'm staying here till the final curtain.

Mr Strehlke? You are back?

Boss! Look here, I brought you the three women you wanted.

Meet Desi,

Moni and Miri.

A blonde, a brunette and a redhead. Desi is even a nurse.

If something happens in the bunker... - And him?

Is he a nurse too? - No, that's my cousin René.

What did I say about seeing him again?

He helped. I'm no good with women. - What did I say?

I thought... - Don't think!

I said if you dragged anyone here again you'd be out.

And the others? Even the pig is in!

That's right, all of them are in.

I say who's in and who's out!

And now there's one more space left.

If so, then it's mine. - I don't give a shit.

Decide yourselves. You can fight it out.

Yes!

A proper fisticuffs.

The winner gets to move into the bunker, the loser is out.

Klaus... - Start!

Hands off!

Elvis, that'll do. That'll do. Enough.

That's it.

Gosh!

What fighting spirit!

And what did we learn from that?

Your cousin doesn't give a shit about you!

Piss off, you rat! While you still can.

Animals.

Guess we're going to have to get used to that.

Deniz, let's go get the last load.

Not bad, pal!

What's that get-up for?

What's with Dad? - I don't know.

Don't lie to me. And yesterday? - I guess he's not coming anymore.

Did you have a fight?

Did you tell him you... - Yes, I told him.

He loves you.

You were honest. You can work it out.

Leonie, we don't have time. There's no time!

We always wanted

to be good parents you could always trust, but...

Please forgive us.

We have to survive.

Jonas and you, you two have to survive.

That's all that matters.

Trust me, OK?

Yeah?

Bye, Grandpa.

You're gorgeous. - Thank you.

You, too.

I couldn't find anything else.

When you were gone yesterday

I noticed that without you none of it makes any sense at all.

That all the running around

is pointless.

Without you.

You're the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Will you be my wife, Marion Meissner,

née Marion Cosin?

Yes.

I will.

Until the world ends.

Until the world ends.

Can you tell me what we're doing here?

That's the surprise. Mr Frankenberg will help us.

He has a bunker. - What?

Nora has a bunker? - Yes.

Wait till I get back. No discussion!

Su. What's the point of this? What are you doing?

What are you doing? - None of your business.

You know about his bunker?

Well, you obviously do too. - Hey!

Listen. - What?

That wanker won't help you. - Can you?

Can you save my children?

I don't get you. Just look at you!

Don't you have any self-respect left? - No, I don't.

Not anymore. Leave me be. - Please!

Stop! Leave me alone. Let me go. I said let me go!

Deniz! Are you mad? - Don't do it, please!

Come on! Susanne, it's nice you came back.

First name is OK, right? - Yes.

Sorry my associates are harassing you. Are you mad?

Now get the air filters over there or... - Or what?

Or what?

You know what? Stuff your bunker and stuff you!

Come on. - No!

Hey! Hands off! Hands off! - Deniz, please! Please go!

Please go! Please. Please.

Please go.

Yes, those Turks.

What about your husband, Uli?

Let's have a look at the room first.

Well, pig? - Bye-bye! Ciao!

Bye!

Ahoy!

Two metres of reinforced concrete.

Own air supply, own water treatment unit.

As you can see,

I'm always talking about technical stuff.

It doesn't bother me.

My wife was against this bunker.

That's why I didn't build it until after her accident.

My condolences. - That's life.

Sometimes it plays the dirtiest tricks.

And sometimes you're lucky. You're lucky, Susanne.

Now you're safe.

These belonged to my wife.

I just had to bring them down here with me.

Don't you agree that when people die their things...

take on a strange lustre, almost like a sheen?

I think you're the same size.

Come to Klaus.

Kiddo, are you hungry? - Oh, yeah.

Totally. We didn't have any breakfast. - Shh, Jonas!

No, we don't want anything. - Hey, come on, Leo!

Do you know how shitty I felt?

I had to swear on my mother I wouldn't tell anyone about the bunker.

Then you guys were on the run.

And then you got those bunker spots.

Look, he's laughing too.

Hey, Leo!

It'll all be fine. What do you think they're discussing?

You think? - Yes!

Will we all fit in there? - Of course.

You twit, we'll get on each other's nerves so badly scrunched in there.

What about the kids?

Shouldn't we bring them in now?

The three of them are sure to get along. Leonie and Nora are inseparable already.

You know...

I'd almost prefer if we were to shut everything up now.

So that nothing else happens, so that no one else loses their mind.

Or gets other ideas. - Yes.

You know, Susanne, these are different times.

I'm responsible for all this.

Your kids stay out. - What?

You'll be Nora's mother and my wife. - No!

No, Klaus. No... No!

Klaus, no! Please!

I'll go see what they're doing.

You wait here, OK?

What's taking so long? Leonie's waiting. I'll show her the bunker now.

Where is Mrs Steiner? - In the bunker! That's what you wanted.

I'll get Leo. - Leo's not going in!

What? - We have three spots for three people.

No, Leonie! - She's my best friend!

I don't care. She can find something with her father!

Arsehole!

Where's my mother? - She's done with you. Bugger off!

That's not true. - Go!

She doesn't want to see you, you brats!

You bugger off! Bugger off!

Laika.

Come.

Come.

Pardon me, we're closed.

For the end of the world.

Can I help you? - I just wanted to come here.

Me and my wife met here.

In my museum. - Yeah.

She talked to me because I was in the way.

I fell for her immediately.

Oh, well, it wasn't the last time I stood in her way.

Yes, that's how marriage is.

My wife and I always argued about that.

She thought stuffed animals were gruesome, all dead and...

I always thought they seemed... - Peaceful?

Yes, exactly.

Come with me.

I'll show you something.

Come along.

This goes down pretty deep. - 120 metres.

A clear advantage over the dinosaurs back then.

Not to mention the air filtration plant.

And what's the power source?

Emergency power generator.

After two years it should be recharged.

We have an open spot.

Listen, I have two children, and my wife.

OK, then.

Just you, your wife and your children, but no one else.

You have my word.

Come on in.

I'm curious.

He's not getting any younger.

Dad?

Robin!

I need you guys! - We can't right now.

We're having a collective experience. - Please!

Robin, we can't! - Robin, please!

The light!

Come. - Now!

Follow me.

Pity we didn't get to know each other earlier.

Dad loved it here.

I think he would've liked this.

Befitting of an old warrior.

Should we say a prayer?

No, nothing churchy.

He was a Viking.

Is everything OK?

My water...

My water broke.

Cheers! We're the survivors! - We're the survivors!

Don't get sappy.

Did you invite them or what? - Who is that?

Just look at them!

What sort of a bunch is that?

What sort of a clown are you?

I am nobody.

I'll say! - Sure looks like it.

This is my private property.

Now you piss off, and I mean fast. - We're going.

When you set her free.

Who? - My mother.

Oh, Leonie!

You know she came here voluntarily.

Very, very voluntarily.

Let her go. - Now take your comedians and piss off!

And you will set her free.

Or what?

Have no fear.

Have no fear.

He's down on his knees praying!

Give him another!

He's back on his knees again, praying.

Praying!

Give him another!

You still have time. You still have time.

You still have time. - Yes.

Stop!

Stop!

Leave him!

Sus?

Jonas?

Hey, where are you? Jonas? Are you here?

Not enough?

Still not enough?

I have no fear.

His love is stronger than your... - Stop!

Still not enough.

His love is...

...stronger than your...

Klaus!

His love is stronger...

Let's go home.

Bugger off!

Take the slut and bugger off!

Bugger off!

Hello?

Where is my wife?

Your wife.

I almost forgot.

But Susanne doesn't belong to you.

She doesn't belong to anyone.

She's like a bird, she flies in the breeze however she...

Where is she? - Here, then over there.

You know how birds are.

Listen, I don't want any trouble.

Your wife is fighting to save your children.

Yeah.

She's fucking around to save them.

And why?

Because you don't want any trouble.

Because here, deep down inside you,

you're a lousy little limp-dicked sissy.

He'll come back. Dad will definitely come back.

All my life I've thought

that I have things under control.

No matter what happened.

That I had my family under control,

my job,

my affair.

I thought nothing could throw me off track.

I was such an idiot.

Until the moment that bunker door shut behind me,

I thought I could put everything back in order.

I really believed I could save us.

I know.

I so wanted to protect you.

You want to go, don't you?

We're a family, aren't we?

Yes! - Forever.

I love you so much! - And I love you so much.

And tell Jonas I love him.

You're so brave.

Take good care of her, OK?

Is that everything?

I said is that everything?

Get up!

Wanker!
