Wow! Message from Space (2023) Movie Script

[gentle upbeat music playing]
[gentle music playing]
[static crackling]
[radio whooshing]
-Wow!
-Wow!
[laughs]
[gentle upbeat music]
[dog barking in a distance]
[upbeat music playing]
[Billie laughs]
[tires skidding]
Dad, you have to hear this.
-It explains everything.
-Everything.
-[static crackling]
-[radio whooshing]
My first question,
why at 2:30 a.m.
on a Wednesday night
is there a boy
in our living room
that I don't know?
Don't worry, my parents
have no idea that I'm here.
Hmm.
Do you wanna hear it again, Dad?
No, thank you.
Here's the key
to the translation.
We're just getting started,
but it's definitely a language.
This is the worst excuse
for a kid coming home late
that I've-- I've ever heard.
I thought your dad
was a real scientist.
Yes, I am.
That's how I know
that aliens just don't exist.
-They do!
-They do!
They don't.
[both] Then how come
they've sent us a message?
[Billie] You heard correctly,
a message from aliens.
But to explain why we
of all people
received their message,
I better go back
to the very beginning.
Everything started when Dad
and I moved to a suburb
on the other side of town
to be closer to our new school.
[Alex] Got it.
I started high school
after the summer
and Dad got a job teaching
Physics and Math
at the same school.
Super convenient since
it's just the two of us now.
[gentle music]
Obviously I didn't know
anyone here,
so I went to scope
out the neighborhood,
and this is what I found.
[Dino groaning]
Hey, do you need some help?
[Dino groaning]
Hmm?
-[antenna rattling]
-[gentle upbeat music]
[both laughing]
[both panting]
I didn't think you looked like
someone who could really help.
You neither.
Yeah, so, I fell into
the scrap press over there.
Will the limp ever get better?
Nope.
We got this on insurance.
I've tuned it a bit,
but it won't get
better than this.
What you need is a connection
between the electrical current
in your nerve cells
and the mechanics.
Exactly!
Come on.
Billie was really cool
and she thought the same as me.
[horn honking]
So I had to show her something
I'd never shown
to anyone else in the world.
Wow.
[gentle upbeat music]
I believe that there are
intelligent beings out there
much smarter than us humans.
And I wanna talk to them.
Okay.
[machinery crackling]
[radio chatting indistinctly]
But Dino's space telescope
wasn't working yet,
so I grabbed a few books
from Dad's library.
My dad is actually
an astrophysicist,
which means he studies space.
My mom was an astronaut,
for real.
[Dino] Here.
Every day, we made
our radio telescope
a little bit better.
Hmm.
Cool.
-[radio crackling]
-[gentle upbeat music]
[Billie]
So no more police radio.
This was real noise
from outer space but...
The signal is too weak.
[both] More copper coils!
[Billie sighs]
[dogs barking]
Hey!
[metal clattering]
What are you doing there?
[dogs barking]
Um, removing copper coils.
[walkie-talkie beeps]
Silke, honey,
call the police. Roger.
It's okay, Dad, that's Billie.
She's my friend.
[Billie chuckles]
Silke, maybe you
should come here instead.
Roger.
[radio whooshing]
And what do you say now?
Copper, nickel, tungsten.
Tungsten, the good aluminum
from the wheels, right?
Yeah, worth at least
2,500 bucks.
More like 2,700.
Mm-hmm.
Damn, boy, we've been wondering
why at the end of the month,
we're always
a few roll short, hmm?
[Dino sighs]
These are raw materials.
They go up in price, you know.
At some point, they'll be worth
twice as much given
the situation in the world.
Sybil, right?
Listen, Sybil--
Billie, it's short
for Annabelle.
Annabelle just never suited me.
Huh, right,
that's interesting.
Do you even know
what we're doing here?
[Silke] No.
We're in the process
of deciphering alien language.
Ah.
Hmm.
Translating.
[Wolfgang groans]
[Dino]
From then on, Billie was banned
from the scrap yard,
- because firstly...
-This isn't a playground.
This is a business.
[Dino] And secondly...
-Yeah, but--
- It's enough
if you see Dino at school.
But it's the summer holidays.
Good.
[door rattles and bangs]
And we don't even go
to the same school!
[Billie groans]
Dino was forced to help
with the daily work
for the rest of the holidays,
because firstly...
You're old enough.
[Billie] And secondly...
[Wolfgang] This way,
you earn your own money.
[Billie] Thirdly, because...
That's life,
even if you have a lame leg
and two left hands.
-Hmm?
-[Dino groans]
[Billie] From then on,
we could only meet at night,
and our extraterrestrial
eavesdropping
became a top secret mission.
-[owl hooting]
-[tense music playing]
[dogs barking]
Here, you two.
[tense music playing]
-[machinery beeping]
-[gentle music playing]
[Dino] We had
to figure out a way
to give the old
analog technology
a digital boost.
[Billie] So Dino resoldered
the entire motherboard again,
and one night...
[Dino] We finally got it.
[Billie]
The clearest signal ever.
-Billie!
-What?
[radio whooshing]
-Wow!
-Wow!
[Billie] We were absolutely sure
that we had
everything we needed
to prove that aliens were
trying to make contact.
[gentle upbeat music]
[Dino] We'd just
forgotten two small things.
Firstly, let sleeping dogs lie.
[Billie] And secondly,
even my oh-so-smart doctor dad
can be really ignorant.
Really, really ignorant.
That's how I know
that aliens just don't exist.
-They do!
-They do!
They don't.
[both] Then how come
they've sent us a message?
[doorbell ringing]
[gasps] Damn, my parents.
Thank goodness.
Where's my son?
[Alex] I, uh.
[Dino groans]
Ah!
Wait, Karossa, come!
So, if I catch your daughter
anywhere near our son again,
I will set Karossa
and Karacho on her.
Is that clear?
[Billie sighs]
And you, little scamp, hmm-hmm.
Come on.
[Billie sighs]
-No.
-Yes.
[Alex] No.
-Why not?
-Nope, no, negative.
But why not?
Because you've fallen victim
to a reciprocal logic
desire coupling.
What?
I listened to your
recordings again,
and it does indeed have
a recurring structure.
So what?
Look, this tone
sequence, come and look.
This, for example,
is also a sequence of sounds
with a multiple structure,
from which the word fantasy
can be derived.
And what do we hear?
Firstly, suckling
piglets on a mother sow.
Secondly, gale force
wins on a sailing boat.
And last, we hear raindrops
on a steel barrel.
Okay, great.
So we're just idiots,
is that it?
Billie.
Billie, Billie,
as much as I'd love to. [groans]
[sighs]
You get that from your mother.
[Wolfgang groans]
[antenna clatters]
[Silke] Be careful, please!
[Wolfgang] I am being careful!
[Silke] No, you're not.
You nearly dropped
that thing on my head.
Do you know what I used
to dream about?
[Silke] You oaf.
[Wolfgang] I checked first!
That my parents
aren't my real parents.
[Silke] I saw you,
you didn't check.
Why is that?
-Well...
- You just kicked it off.
Just two random people
that I ended up with.
-Non-sense.
-You never know.
I thought a spaceship
would land here one day
-and pick me up.
-You're being silly!
You used to daydream
about being an alien.
Sometimes I still do.
Silke!
Is that bad?
[Silke] What is it now?
Well, yeah.
-Just give me a hand!
-With your parents.
[Wolfgang] Silke!
-[Dino laughing]
-[Billie laughing]
Billie, do you really
believe something's up there?
Honestly?
Well, when my mom died,
everyone said that,
"Your mom is now up there
in heaven,"
but I never saw her there.
I was five.
So I asked my dad,
an expert in all things
to do with space.
He explained everything
to me, the planets,
the galactic nebula,
galaxies, everything.
And then at some point I knew,
my mom isn't up there.
But, uh, since then,
I also believe in aliens.
What's that?
Read it.
If anyone can help us, it's her.
"Dear ESA team.
My name is Billie.
I'm 11 years old and
a space explorer.
Together with my friend Dino,
I constructed a space
radio telescope."
My little miracle probe weighs
less than 12 kilograms,
11.83 to be exact.
And in case you're
wondering why it's so tiny,
the tinier the object,
the harder to hit.
As soon as we navigate
my little masterpiece here
into the Bermuda Triangle,
it has to avoid
masses of space debris
and withstand speed pressure.
The only thing
that interests us,
will your little masterpiece
find what we want?
[Agent Grey]
More of the weightless matter.
Do you know a scientist
who could build
a better probe than me?
Do you know
the dark side of the Moon?
A popular place
for female scientists
who overestimate themselves.
[probe beeping]
Arrange the loading now.
[tense music]
[box clicking]
[announcer]
All personnel please...
-Margot, there you are.
We should finally go
through the invitation list.
I have this great request
from this--
No press, no public
this time, please.
No public this time?
Unmanned flight, basic research.
No one is interested in that.
It's still a rocket launch.
If we don't invite the press,
it's gonna look like we
have something to hide.
What?
Do we have something to hide?
No.
Well then.
Carlitta, just do
what you think.
I can't take care of everything.
Hmm, fine then.
Dino! Dino!
Dino, they invited us!
[Billie claps]
[horn honks]
Can you imagine the kind
of devices the Spaceport has?
Stuff that could
help us make contact.
Yeah, they're the pros.
They have everything.
I have to go there.
Will your parents say yes?
Never.
[sighs] Never in my life.
I'm all right
at signature forging.
Hmm.
Will your dad say yes?
-Hmm, mm-hmm.
-[Dino laughs]
No, never, no, no.
[sighs] But why not, Dad?
It's on the other
side of the world.
It would be expensive.
And isn't there something
starting in four days?
Ah, the school year.
Yes, but--
Billie, high school,
need I say more?
Come on, you know.
Yes, but this could be
a valuable
educational trip, hmm?
Nice try. It's still a no.
You are scared.
Scared of what, hmm?
You used to work there
with mama.
Seven years ago.
And you still
know all the people.
No, I don't.
To the bright stars
I wanna fly there
But gravity just doesn't
Billie, stop, stop.
That's your mom's song.
The earth is smelling
Worse and worse
I'm not scared.
That's why you became
a physics teacher like grandpa,
not an astronaut like mom.
[announcer]
Space for carry on luggage
is limited.
Please place larger items
on the trolley next
to the aircraft.
We'll provide you
with the required label.
-Please ensure...
-Here.
The label contains
your full name and address.
And your parents?
Um, not coming.
Are you the
accompanying adult?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
We're about to depart, sir.
Can I speak to your parents?
Um, sure.
Here.
What?
Don't worry,
my mom won't answer.
Who will?
It's called a bribe.
My cousin's a girl.
Okay, good.
Your mom was nicer this time.
Okay, good then.
Let's go.
[gentle upbeat music]
Jumping over fences
Picking up stones
I never walk alone
I never walk alone
Swim across the ocean
Look up in the sky
I never walk alone
I never walk alone
Lucky me, lucky me
[gasps] Billie, over there.
Lucky me, lucky me
Un, deux, trois
Lucky me, lucky me
Quatre, cinq, six
Un, deux, trois
Quatre, cinq, six
[Alex groans]
We'll take things easy today,
little monsters.
Tomorrow, I'll show
you my old office,
and where Billie's mom worked.
-[Billie laughing]
-[Dino laughing]
So much for taking it easy.
Well then.
That's why today's launch,
like all unmanned
research flights,
is of the utmost importance.
Any questions?
Good, then that's all for today.
-We can all get back--
-[both] I've got one.
-Hello?
-[Billie] Over here!
Yes?
[Carlitta sighs]
[guest coughs]
Thanks.
Bonjour, everyone.
My name is Billie
and this is Dino.
We've come a very long way.
Thanks for inviting us.
Have you listened
to our recording yet?
What recording?
Well, the message
from the aliens.
[crowd laughing]
-[Audience Member] Aliens.
-Yeah, I'm just gonna, yeah.
[Audience Member] Oh, they
really said that, mm-hmm.
-[static crackling]
-[radio whooshing]
And what do you say to that?
Yes, Dr. Boshley,
do you believe in aliens?
Listen, Dino, back
when I was your age
or maybe a little younger,
I did believe in aliens, Dino,
and Santa Claus as well.
Then as I got older,
I realized Santa only came
every year, if I'd been good.
The thing is,
I never saw any aliens.
Neither have we,
but we've heard them.
As I'm sure you already know,
the distances in outer
space are so vast,
the chances of an
extraterrestrial encounter
are tens to the power of-
Eighteen times lower
than acoustic contact.
That's why we focused
on receiving sound messages.
We are sure we can decipher
the messages with help from you.
We would like to
send them a reply,
but the thing is our
radio device is broken.
-Yeah, sure.
-Yes, in fact. [coughs]
In fact, in fact,
we have received such messages.
Let me show you.
Come on, come here.
[announcer] All guests,
please carry your
visitors ID at all times.
Failure to comply may result
in being expelled
from the facility.
-Alex, hey!
-Hey, Tomasio.
[Alex speaking in
foreign language]
[Tomasio speaking
in foreign language]
It's great to see you.
-Same here, old friend.
-I'm surprised.
[Tomasio laughs]
Is that Annabelle?
Yeah, that's Billie
and a stray I picked up, Dino.
Tell me, did you send
the kids the invitation?
The invitation came from me.
Oh, hello Carlitta. [laughs]
It has been too long
since we saw you, Alex.
-Oh, come on.
-It has.
Uh-oh, the boss
is trying to be nice now.
Is Boshley your new boss?
-Oh, yeah.
-Oh, yeah.
[announcer]
Dr. Fouche to reception.
Dr. Fouche to reception.
[radio whooshing]
Whoever hears this message,
was...
[radio whooshing]
totally and thoroughly...
Wow.
Suckered.
[crowd laughing]
Sorry, kiddies.
We have thousands of recordings
like these in the archives.
It's probably just
some bored kid
who's a little smarter
than you are.
It's just a juvenile prank.
[Audience Member]
Oh, poor kids.
[announcer] T minus one hour.
-[cameras clicking]
-[somber music]
[Billie] So my dad
was right as always,
no one believed us.
[Dino]
Even worse, they treated us
like a couple of sweet kids.
[Billie] Not that the lemonade
they gave us
was even close to sweet.
Even my teeth are wincing.
[Billie] No one
took any notice of us.
[Dino]
And that was our way in.
Excuse me, sir,
but Dr. Boshley said
that you've received
thousands of alien messages.
Um, where can we find them?
-Jurgen?
-Mm-hmm.
Extraterrestrial intelligence,
does that department
still exist?
Nope.
Boshley closed it
down years ago.
I'm sure it's all archived.
But where?
Boshley's office,
she keeps everything.
Why do you want? Oh.
Hmm.
Um.
[phone ringing]
Okay.
These are cool.
But which way?
Mm.
I think,
I think it's back there.
Come on.
[Margot] Of course the
mission is going as planned.
[gasps] Go, go, go.
I don't understand
why you're bothering me.
The press conference
didn't go as planned.
The press conference
went poorly.
They were just kids.
Kids talk non-sense.
No one takes them seriously.
Except when they talk
about aliens.
You only had one task, doctor.
No unnecessary publicity.
Hmm? [sighs]
Why do I always
have this feeling
that you two don't trust me?
Doctor, if you had the chance
to own the greatest discovery
humanity has ever made,
who would you trust?
I will have to think about that.
We don't.
Has our cargo being assigned?
-[Dino panting]
-[Billie panting]
Hall B, Gate 3, 10 minutes.
[door beeps, buzzes]
[announcer]
T minus 40 minutes.
Hmm.
[tense music]
[door knocking]
Hello, madam?
Um, madam doctor?
[tense music]
[Billie] Huh?
She just came in here.
Maybe there's another exit.
It's so weird.
Nevermind.
See if you can find
anything to do with aliens.
Hmm.
[Billie sighs]
[door beeps and whooshes]
[tense music]
The cargo's goes on the move.
-[box rattling]
-[tense music]
[door slams]
[Billie sighs]
Hmm.
Billie, what if they're
hiding aliens here,
like the Americans?
Weird, there's no
reader for this chip card.
I don't get it.
Look at that photo.
What?
She looks like
a witch in this one.
Hmm?
Hmm.
[panel beeps]
[door whooshes]
[Billie laughs]
[Dino pants]
[door whooshes]
-Oh.
-Wow.
[gentle music playing]
Wow! [pants]
[gentle music continues]
Your letter!
And look, it's our recorder
with the alien message.
[Dino sighs]
Hmm.
Hmm.
They don't need our recording.
[computer beeps and whooshes]
Boshley's a professional.
I knew it from the start.
What's that?
Notes for, um, a kind
of decryption key, I think.
I can't even read this.
[somber music playing]
What is it?
That woman looks like you.
[somber music playing]
Billie, quick, come here.
What is that?
A floating...
A floating rock?
[gentle music]
[case whooshes]
[rock whirring]
A magnet?
It's kind of heavy,
but also not.
[gentle music]
[rock whirring]
What is it?
No idea. Hmm.
There's only one explanation.
This rock isn't from Earth.
Exactamente, senorina.
And we fell
for the witch's tricks.
Hook, line and sinker.
Exactamente , you pesky
little know-it-alls.
Give me that right now.
It belongs to me.
I'm not so sure about that.
Come on, you.
Ow! Billie, catch. [groans]
[Margot gasps and groans]
-[Dino yells]
-[Margot screams]
Let's go.
-Hurry!
-[Margot groans]
-[Margot panting]
-[dramatic music]
Security!
Catch those kids
and you'll get a bonus.
This way.
-[kids panting]
-[guard groaning]
[dramatic music playing]
[Security Guard]
They're here somewhere.
Let's search this office.
[dramatic music]
Ready.
-[Dino screaming]
-[Billie screaming]
-[Dino groaning]
-[Billie panting]
[tense music]
[Driver]
Where does this go again?
[announcer]
T minus 30 minutes.
-[Dino panting]
-[Billie panting]
-[Dino groans]
-[Billie groans]
[Billie panting]
[Billie] Shh.
Where now?
Back to the sour
lemonade shop.
We have to find my dad.
We'll tell
and show him everything.
[Billie panting]
[machinery whirring]
Let's hide in here
until the coast is clear.
[tense music]
[Billie groans and pants]
[Radio Operator]
Start loading.
[tense music]
[tires screeching]
Ah, amigo.
Hands off.
[Driver] Look, sorry,
I just wanted to-
We'll take it, thank you.
Okay.
No signal, damn.
When we show them what we found,
no one will even care
about this boring
research launch.
[gentle upbeat music]
At least they're gonna
believe us now. [laughs]
[truck whirring]
[tense music]
Hm?
Dr. Boshley,
you can take it from here.
[tense music]
[truck whirring]
Carlitta, thank you
for inviting those kids.
It really livened things up.
Really, what a treat.
Some last minute
cargo has been assigned.
-Yes, for me.
-All right,
but how much longer before
you test the launch?
-Oh.
-The parameter's set.
Well, thank you for
letting me know, I guess.
The order came from the top.
It had to happen fast as always.
-That looks good.
-Trust me,
I'm also really annoyed.
[phone ringing]
[Carlitta sighs]
Alexander?
[Scientist] Place
that over there for me.
The loser.
-Check the sides are full.
-Margot, the intern?
I thought you were
a kindergarten teacher.
A physics teacher,
and that and maths.
Why are you in Caru,
in the staff area no less?
-Um, I...
- Everything is parallel
with what we have.
I'm looking for the
kids, Billie and Dino.
You met them earlier at
the press conference.
Ah.
-In two minutes-
- Do you have dogs here?
Uh, not yet.
Uh, Margot. [sighs]
She's certainly
come a long way.
Can nobody do their
jobs around here?
The kids can't
have gone too far.
They would have to have
clearance to leave.
Did you check the lemonade shop?
[Alex clicks]
-[zip rattling]
-[gentle music]
-Careful!
-[Billie yells]
[Billie sighs]
[Dino sighs]
Whoa.
Well, at least that went well.
[announcer]
T minus one minute.
[tense music]
Strange, huh?
Yeah.
The boxes are strapped
in all the way around,
as if there's no up or down.
Why is it so cramped in here?
It's like, like the
room is a container.
[announcer]
Thirty, 29, 28, 27--
Status reports for all stations.
-[announcer] Twenty five, 24...
-All stations are go.
-All systems are ready.
-Confirmed.
All systems are go.
[ship whirring]
[Dino gasps]
Well, you two are
missing the best part.
-Too bad.
-Ten.
[Group]
Nine, eight, seven, six...
This can't be real.
[announcer] Three, two, one.
-[thrusters rumbling]
-[tense music]
-[Dino screaming]
-[Billie screaming]
-[ship whooshing]
-[gentle music]
[crowd cheering and applauding]
Lift off.
All systems are nominal.
Roll program complete,
flight path clear.
Nearing maximum
dynamic pressure.
We have an additional
weight of 72.5 kilograms.
Seventy two.
[Tomasio] 72.5 kilograms?
Altitude control
has compensated,
all is nominal and on course.
SRBs jettisoned.
Will the extra
weight have an impact?
All looks good, flight.
-Look at that.
-Jettisoning is 70 seconds.
Strange, there are
two temperature hotspots
-in the cargo bay.
-There they are.
-That's strange.
-Hotspots, but from what?
[Scientist]
Central stage jettisoned.
EPS upper stage parameters-
-It is strange.
-Nominal.
T minus 10 seconds
to weightlessness.
Billie, isn't this just
the coolest thing ever?
I'm scared. [sobs]
[ship whooshing]
[gentle music]
Ah!
Whoa!
Wow.
[Billie sighs]
I think we just
arrived in space.
My dad is going
to be so angry.
[gentle music]
Yoohoo!
[gentle upbeat music]
[Dino laughs]
[Billie] Ah.
-[Billie laughs]
-[Dino laughs]
This is mission control
from planet Earth.
80-V-23.
Please come in.
[tense music]
Hm?
[door whooshes]
[gentle upbeat music]
[Billie sighs]
[controls beeping]
[dramatic music]
Oh my!
[sighs]
[tense music]
[phone ringing]
Um, if you can hear me,
there's a button
between the seats.
It's red
and it should light up.
Just push that button
to talk to me.
You go.
Um.
Hi, and um, sorry.
We really have no idea
how this could have happened.
I'm guessing
that's not the cargo
you authorized, Margot.
Change the capsule system
from unmanned to manned,
or children's.
This is not good.
[Visitor 1] It's the
two kids from earlier.
[Visitor 2]
What's going on exactly?
Something's happened.
We need to find out.
Does anyone know?
[tense music]
What's going on?
[Visitor 2]
This is a travesty.
You can't have
children up there.
This is terrible.
Who's the idiot who decided
it was a good idea
to invite the press here?
[sighs]
[Scientist] Solutions.
Carlitta, embargo on all press.
Notify security personnel.
Full emergency protocol.
Nobody in and nobody out.
[scanner beeps]
-Mm-mm.
-[announcer] Attention ,
security level five
has been implemented.
Please follow the instructions
of our security personnel
to the letter.
No!
-No access.
-I have to go in.
-Sorry-
-My daughter and-
[announcer]
Attention, security level five
-You have to let me in.
Sorry, we can't.
Listen, that is my daughter.
-Please.
-I'm sorry, we can't.
Okay. Merci.
-Attention...
-Damn it!
[announcer] Security level
five has been implemented.
The first rule of being
an astronaut is stay calm.
We have everything
under control, understand?
We can operate all the
controls from here on Earth.
You see?
[Dino laughs]
All right, kids,
this is the plan.
We will get you back to Earth
as quickly as possible.
[Billie] Okay.
No, it's okay. It's fine.
But first we have
to fly you to the ISS.
No one's there at the moment,
but it's our only option.
But why?
[Tomasio] Because, well, uh,
your spacecraft wasn't
made to come back
through Earth's atmosphere.
We'd burn up, right?
-Right, Dino.
-Let's move on to phase two.
But it won't come to that.
We're already preparing
a second mission
to pick you up
from the ISS, easy as that.
[Billie laughs]
Easy as that.
[Dino] How long will it take?
Well, we're doing
the calculations now.
You can go back to the
cargo hold in container...
25-B-32.
In container 25-B-32,
you'll find spacesuits.
You can put them on.
And when you're ready,
I'll have more info for you.
What a disaster.
It's good to distract
them with small tasks.
[Carlitta] Ugh, this is
gonna be so bad for us.
-[Margot sighs]
-[phone buzzes]
It's not how it looks,
it's far worse.
Dino!
[door banging]
Open up kid.
You've overslept!
[dogs panting]
Silke, hun, have you found him?
Roger.
No, and I don't
have time for this.
I know he's hiding in there,
but I can't get in.
So then make some noise.
I am making noise!
Dino! [bangs]
[Silke sighs]
[dog barks]
[horn honks]
[dogs panting]
Dino.
[dogs panting]
[walkie-talkie beeps]
Silke, hun!
Will you please stop yelling?
Come on!
He's written, "I'm going
with my friend Billie
looking for aliens.
Might be a while."
Well, he's truly lost it.
"I'll pay back the money
I took for the ticket, promise."
What, did he buy them tickets
to Disneyland or something?
[Wolfgang groans]
[Reporter]
As you can see behind me,
the coach is passing us now.
Wait a minute.
[Reporter] From here,
it'll go down Main Street.. .
-No, he couldn't have.
-And then Constabulary Road.
[upbeat music]
[Reporter] Coming to you live
from the Spaceport.
During a planned
unmanned research flight
to the International
Space Station,
two children were discovered
to be on board.
The stowaways are two
11-year-old children...
-Thanks, Mom and Dad-
- Who had not realized
-they had boarded a rocket.
-Dino.
[Reporter] They're currently
at an altitude of approximately
400 kilometers,
and orbiting the Earth
at a speed of over
20,000 kilometers per hour.
Oh, holy smokes.
[Reporter] The incident
has caused a global stir.
Two 11 year olds
have unexpectedly
found themselves in space.
[gentle upbeat music]
[Dino groans]
Mm.
Dino, are you scared?
Mm, not even a bit. [laughs]
Well, I was wondering
if we might see some aliens.
I mean, anything
is possible, right?
This is the best radio
equipment I have ever seen,
and if we can figure this out,
we can send the aliens
a message.
[static crackling]
[Tomasio] This is Tomasio
from Mission Control.
Billie, Dino, are you two okay?
Yes, the spacesuits fit great.
I'm glad to hear it.
Your remaining flight time
is six hours and four minutes,
and you've already
done half of it.
You should be able
to see the ISF.
Mm, at the moment,
it looks like a toy.
[Tomasio]
It is, a really big one.
Do you have any questions?
Yeah, um, what does
the black control knob
to the left of the radio do?
[Tomasio] Uh, that should
change the frequency.
Yeah, I thought so.
[Tomasio] Is the
signal clear on your end?
-Yeah, yeah.
-Yeah, yeah.
[announcer] Attention,
security level five
has been implemented.
[tense music]
[container rattling]
[tense music continues]
[door rattling]
[ship whooshes]
[Tomasio]
Maybe try to get some sleep.
It's been a big day
and it's not over yet.
[radio whirring]
Please try not to
touch anything else,
then nothing can go wrong,
okay?
[sighs] Okay.
Shout later.
[Dino laughs]
Come on.
[radio crackling]
[Alex grunts and pants]
[tense music]
Come on.
Ah, these damn things.
-[Alex panting]
-[tense music]
You've promised
our organization
you would find
the place in outer space
that has more
of that weightless material.
[Agent Grey] Instead,
the only rock was stolen-
By kids who then
flew in a space.
And who will sooner or later
broadcast their
discovery to the world.
That will not happen.
[Agent Silver] Margot,
you may be brilliant,
Or at least believe you are.
But never forget,
our organization made you.
[Agent Grey]
And our organization
can just as easily--
I know very well
what your organization
can and can't do.
We want the rock back
at any cost.
I want it back too.
You just get the
kids safely to the ISS.
We'll take care of the rest.
-No, I think that I--
-Shh.
-[snacks rattling]
-[tense music]
[sighs]
Stay strong, Margot.
It'll be fine.
-[vent crashes]
-[Alex grunts]
[Alex groaning]
[Alex coughs]
Alexander Muller.
[Alex panting]
What's going on here?
Huh? [pants]
[gentle music]
You really have no idea, do you?
[gentle music]
[radio whirring]
I'm close.
I think me too, almost.
This is like an
interpreting device
to understand aliens.
So you can read those scrawls?
Yeah, quite easily.
[Dino] How?
My handwriting's the same.
Huh?
Dino, Boshley didn't write this.
Then who did?
My mother.
Huh? I don't get it.
You know that photo
that we saw in the secret lab,
the one with Boshley,
the man and the woman
who looked like me?
Yeah.
-It's her.
-Your mother?
Mm-hmm.
But, [sighs] what?
So, your mother and Dr. Boshley,
they were working together.
I want to know
what happened to Lauren.
Lauren believed in aliens,
that's all you need to know.
Lauren researched
sound signals in space.
She sent signals out
and received them.
Yes, she told me that,
but it was a dead end,
so she dropped the whole thing.
Ah, hey!
[Margot pants]
[sighs]
When you returned home,
Lauren started building
this institute.
I was never an intern.
We were a team.
Why didn't she
tell me about this?
Lauren wanted to protect you.
I barely remember my mother.
Dad always talks
a lot about her.
There are photos
of us everywhere.
In all the photos,
we're smiling.
The only one smiling
in our photos are the dogs.
[both laughing]
What does your dad say?
What was she like, your mom?
She was a lot like me.
Well, that means
she was pretty cool.
[Dino chuckles]
Let's try to make
contact with the aliens.
What did they tell
you about how she died?
That it was a plane crash,
a private flight
from Cayenne to Miami.
She was on a secret
mission with Akido.
Officially, the
flight was unmanned.
Sorry?
Lauren wanted to investigate
the signal's source.
This is not a character
based language like we thought.
It's a rhythmic melody
based semantic code.
Huh?
It's all here.
I'm not good at that,
at singing.
I'm also bad at it.
The main thing is the rhythm.
The main thing
is getting an answer.
Ooh, ah-ha-ha
Ooh, ah-ha-ha
I just remembered,
the Aboriginal
Australians can sing maps.
-Really?
-Yep.
One sings and the other
one finds the way,
without understanding the text.
See? Hmm.
The signal came
from this area.
So much space debris
has collected here,
it must be a place
with extreme gravity.
A black hole in
our solar system?
Yes.
That's where Akido
and Lauren went,
and then contact was lost.
I think that you're
making this up.
Hmm?
Tom, look at this.
Come here.
The capsule reappeared
four days later.
It careened
uncontrollably to earth
and burned up in the atmosphere.
[Alex sighs]
But she found aliens, Alexander.
She found aliens, really?
[Margot laughs]
What we found in the remnants
of the capsule was a rock,
symmetrical with
a higher density than osmium,
and not subject
to the laws of gravity.
[Alex sighs]
Do you know how many people
would kill for that?
And where's the rock now?
Ooh, ha-ha-ha
Ooh, ha-ha-ha
Got it.
Um, what does it actually mean?
Mm.
Ooh, ah
Is the tonal
equivalent of hello,
or welcome, or peace.
Hmm. One more?
Ooh, ah-ha-ha
Ooh, ah-ha-ha
[gentle upbeat music]
Ah, hmm.
One more?
Maybe I missed something.
Maybe I misunderstood.
Or is it the wrong frequency?
[radio crackles]
Ooh, ah-ha-ha
[laughs] Yeah!
Ooh, ah-ha-ha
We have made contact, yes!
[both laughing]
[both] We have to get our son.
Yes, but the dogs
need to go in a crate.
Are you an idiot?
I have tickets for all of us.
Yes, but the dogs
must go in dog crates.
No way!
[dog barking]
Oh, quiet, quiet.
Be quiet. [coughs]
This is about our son.
[announcer]
Flight 7093 boarding.
Passengers,
please go to the gate.
Do you have children,
or maybe
a pretty girlfriend, hm?
Or a sick mother?
[clears throat]
Hm?
You're not serious, are you?
[announcer] Don't leave
any luggage unattended.
If you see unattended luggage,
please notify
your nearest security guard.
Do not approach
the unattended luggage.
[aliens singing]
It's that first message again.
But why?
Maybe they've had enough
small talk.
Yeah, but what are they saying?
We know now
that it's not a greeting.
Hmm.
[machinery beeping]
Do you think the message
has something
to do with the rock?
Maybe, but what?
[Dino singing]
[Tomasio] Dino, Billie?
Oh, no, not now, please.
[Tomasio] Hello, Dino,
Billie, are you there?
This is mission control.
Can you hear me?
[Dino singing]
Loud and clear.
[Tomasio] I told you
not to touch anything,
not even the radio.
We're sorry,
but we couldn't sleep.
It's okay, a little fun is fine,
but things are about
to get serious.
Look out the front window.
-Wow!
-Wow!
We're docking in a few minutes.
And we'll be controlling it
from here, you remember?
So please promise
you won't touch
a thing, nothing,
then nothing can go wrong.
-Okay.
-Okay.
And we also have
a co-host joining us.
I'll hand you over.
[chuckles] Thanks.
Hey, Billie, you guys okay?
-Daddy!
-Yes, honey.
Sorry, I wanted to get in touch,
but I was looking
in the wrong places.
[Scientist] Program B.
We didn't mean to, Dad.
I believe you.
But it's gonna take a while
for us to send a new
rocket to pick you up.
How long, Dad?
Pass the data chart.
One or two days.
You'll have the ISS all
to yourselves in the meantime.
Can you come
and pick us up, Daddy?
[Margot laughs]
Okay, I'll see
if that's possible.
Uh, we need to start docking.
Then start now.
The program is running,
but the capsule's
moving too fast.
Run the correction program.
It's already running, no effect.
With no effect.
What do you mean, no effect?
[gentle music]
[Tomasio] Okay, kids,
are you ready
for a little game?
Uh, yeah. What game?
Uh, imagine you're
sitting in a spaceship
and suddenly there's a hitch.
Well, we are sitting
in a spaceship.
Uh, yes, exactly.
And just suppose,
imagine that all of a sudden,
there's a problem
and then you just--
Okay, Billie, Dino,
here's the deal.
The automated docking system
is not working properly.
Okay, which means?
You have to do it.
[Billie] Okay.
Okay, so we have three minutes
to get you safely to the ISS.
In 40 seconds,
we'll switch to manual control.
But, Dad, we don't know
how to fly this thing.
Yes, I know, honey.
You'll be the first kids
to dock a spacecraft
at the International
Space Station.
But first we need
to choose the pilot.
Dino, what video
games do you play?
-Oh.
- A bit of everything.
I like "Mario Kart"
against my father.
[Alex sighs]
And who usually wins?
Um, I do every time.
What's your online score?
Twelve thousand and a bit.
What?
I have 3,000. My dad has two.
Well, I do play a lot.
All right, Dad,
Dino will steer.
- Okay.
In three, two, one.
[computer beeping]
Dino, the shift's
in your hands.
Dino, all you have to do
is steer the tip of the capsule
to the center
of the docking port.
Uh, there's a cross
on your periscope.
You need to line it up
with that of the ISS,
then your course is correct.
[machinery beeping]
Okay, but is, is it normal
that the ISS is spinning?
Yes, it is spinning,
and so are you,
which makes it tricky.
They can't do it.
Uh, does this thing
even have any brakes?
My parents say brakes
are bad for business.
You can see her.
Do you see the display screen?
It shows distance
and time to contact.
[Billie] Okay.
[ship whooshing]
Nothing's happening.
[Alex]
There's just a slight delay.
I have to say
it's a bit different
than a console controller.
Hmm.
Turn back.
Dino, you have to turn back,
turn back a bit.
[computer beeping]
They're too fast.
Speed's fine,
he knows that from Mario.
Dino, do you see the
docking lock slowly turning?
Um, the big shaft
with the bright dot?
Yes, exactly.
That's it. Good job.
Whoa, our aim has
to be really perfect.
It's the only way, right?
[Alex] Yes.
How is an eight-year-old
supposed to calculate drift?
I'm not an eight-year-old!
[sighs] We know, sorry, Dino.
Do you think you can do it?
Dino, Dino?
Can you just be quiet, Dad?
Twenty more seconds
to contact, Dino.
Okay.
The screen is saying
we're too far to the right.
Okay.
-[computer beeping]
-[tense music]
Not too low.
I'm just going
on instinct now, okay?
[tense music playing]
[ship whooshing]
Will it fit?
It has to.
-[ship beeping]
-[both screaming]
[dramatic music]
[ship crashes]
-[screen crackles]
-[Alex groans]
[everyone cheering
and applauding]
[Carlitta] They did it!
Okay, docking
maneuver successful.
Billie and Dino, great job.
Welcome to the
International Space Station.
[both giggling]
[door hissing]
You must be hungry, right?
Yeah.
[Alex] Here's an insider tip,
every crew that visits the ISS
leaves smuggled treats
in a secret hiding place,
chips, chocolates, ice cream.
Where is it?
[Alex] That would be telling.
Okay, I guess you two
heroes have earned it.
Look for a module
with a lot of stickers on it.
It's flickering here.
This way.
[gentle upbeat music]
Whoa.
Hmm.
Hmm, "Do not open."
[gentle upbeat music]
[Dino] Ah!
I'd say this makes
our trip worth it.
Yeah. Chips!
If we see you
Bingo.
Put your hands down
I won't hit ya
This a payback
Not a stick up
Space Cola? Hmm.
Shake the can, Billie.
Good idea.
You won't miss it
Oh, you a Christian
You'll forgive us
If you with me middle
finger to the sky
Wow!
We're the kids that you
Wished you ain't heard about
The ones that you don't
wanna talk about, kids
If you with me,
Pull the trigger, let 'em fly
We're the kids that you
wished you ain't heard about
The ones that you don't
Wanna talk about, kids
It's going somewhere.
[computer beeping]
Good. Turn off the air.
[Dino singing]
Sing it one more time.
-[Dino singing]
-[gentle music]
It ends
the same way it begins.
[both singing]
And it sounds exactly
the same backwards.
Well, maybe that's
what it means, go back.
Oh.
[both] The aliens
want their rock back.
Billie, you are brilliant.
We're brilliant, Dino.
And your mom too.
Hm?
Uh-oh. Dad, what's going on?
[Dino] Mr. Muller?
[tense music]
Mission Contro
l to Billie and Dino, come in.
Mission Control
to Billie and Dino, come in.
[computer beeping]
Radio contact is dead.
What's wrong? Huh?
Uh, no idea.
We'll get it back.
Margot, what's going on?
Margot?
[phone buzzing]
Margot?
Over to you, Boshley.
Tell me you didn't.
When you pick
the kids up in two days,
stage it like a hero's death,
and then you will bring
us the rock, quietly.
-[alarm sounding]
-[computer beeping]
Margot, please.
Why is the radio down?
That's not the problem.
For me, it is,
and Billie and Dino too.
[Carlitta] The life
support system is inactive.
What?
The oxygen at the ISS lasts
for a maximum
of six to eight hours.
We won't be able
to reach them in time.
Nonsense, the ISS has an
emergency backup supply of--
Alex!
-Come on, we gotta move fast.
-The system has been hacked.
What? Who?
Wasn't me.
-[alarm sounding]
-[computer beeping]
Hmm.
We're rotating,
but the rock isn't.
It keeps pointing
in the same direction,
almost like a compass needle.
And it's like the pull
keeps getting stronger.
Billie, I think I know
how to get the system
up and running.
Do you have your cell phone?
Yeah, but the battery's dead.
That's fine. Throw it here.
Hold it.
I know it looks
dangerous, I know,
but it's almost
all '90s technology.
No wonder the system crashed.
Billie has her cell phone.
[Scientist]
Not quite sure what to do.
Maybe we could try logging
into one of the
satellites near the ISS,
and extend its reception radius
just enough to get
her phone back online.
I can see three satellites
that are within range.
I'll need around 95 minutes
to take control of one of them.
Very good.
What are you going
to tell her, Alex?
In the Columbus module,
there's an oxygen converter.
It can extract oxygen
from any liquid,
from Space Cola,
from body sweat,
even from your own urine.
Yeah, that's true,
but it still won't
be enough to last.
Yes, but our first priority
is oxygen, step by step.
Okay, good idea.
Here are the details
of the rescue mission.
We've cut down
on security protocols.
If we transfer the tanks
from the other base,
we'll be able to launch
much, much earlier,
but not until 5:00 p.m.
tomorrow.
[sighs] That's too late.
That's way too late!
[dog barking]
Who's the man in charge?
Woman. [clears throat]
I wanna talk to my boy now.
We're working on it.
[Dino sighs]
[Ready?
Go!
[ship whirring]
It's working, yeah.
Our cell phones have
more processing power
than this entire
retro space station.
-[machines beeping]
-[fire crackling]
Oh.
[ship whooshes]
[sighs]
[gentle music]
[Dino sighs]
Today's just not our day, is it?
No, it's not,
and I'm getting cold.
Yeah, and the air's
getting thinner.
Billie?
Dino?
[Billie] This is Billie,
please leave a message.
It's her voicemail.
[phone beeps]
What should I say?
Dino, my angel.
It's your mama.
My darling,
whatever you're doing right now,
just do it the way
you always have,
okay, you hear me?
[gentle music]
You're the best son
I could have wished for.
You're stubborn,
you're very stubborn
and you always get your way.
But so what?
It's a good thing.
That day in the scrap press
when you fell in and you
made it out, you remember?
And this time you're not alone,
you have Sybil with you.
She really is a little scamp.
But she's smart
and she likes you.
I think you two,
I think you two make a
pretty great team actually.
So trust each other and make
decisions together, okay?
Your dad wants to speak to you.
He also has some
things to tell you,
okay, darling.
Goodbye.
[gentle music]
Dino, my boy,
when you come back,
I'll fire up the Ferrari grill,
and mom will make
you those long fries.
I love you, son.
Karacho and Karossa too.
Listen.
-[dog barking]
-[gentle music]
Billie?
Billie, sweetheart,
I'm not good at this.
I don't know
what to say now, uh, but...
but I know what your mom
would've done now.
To the stars
I wanna fly but
Mom had it right, my girl,
always and about everything.
And whatever you do,
do it the way you always do.
[phone beeps]
I love you, sweetheart.
[sighs]
[Billie]
What are you thinking about?
I'm wondering
where my parents are.
And?
I don't know.
Do you think
that your parents are mad?
Nope, they only get
mad about little things.
Something like this,
my mom gets weepy.
She gets sad.
She starts calling me her angel.
And my dad, he--
They get super
embarrassing. [sobs]
[gentle music]
What about your dad?
What do you think he'd say?
He, um, he never knows
what to say at times like these,
so he always just does
what mom would do.
Uh-huh.
[gentle music]
To the bright stars
I want to fly there
The gravity just doesn't want
To let me go
When we get home,
whatever the weather,
my dad will fire up
our Ferrari grill.
Ferrari grill?
It's got a deep
fryer for French fries.
It's the best ever.
[gentle music]
They-- They're not coming
to save us.
Are you scared?
Me too.
[gentle upbeat music]
-[rock thudding]
-[both gasping]
-The rock.
-The rock.
The ISS has rotated,
that's why it moved again.
It's heavier than before.
Or just stronger?
[rock whooshes and thuds]
Much stronger.
Where do you think it would go
if nothing was in its way?
-Back!
-Back!
Well, let's take it there.
[Dino] The rock
will show us the way.
Ooh, ha-ha-ha
[ship whooshes]
Bye, ISS!
[ship whooshes]
-No, wait, what?
-What are they doing?
What's going on now?
The capsule's left.
Are they coming home?
The capsule's on course
for quadrant 51B.
The Bermuda Triangle.
Bermuda Triangle?
The Bermuda Triangle
is a kind of artificial
black hole.
It's possible
it was created by aliens
or some other intelligence.
We don't know for sure.
Aliens?
When will they land
and where exactly?
We can't say that
exactly yet, I, uh.
-[computer beeping]
-[tense music playing]
Did we just fly
past a toilet bowl?
Looked like it.
[Billie chuckles]
It's crazy all the stuff
thrown away up here.
That would be worth a ton
if we could take it home.
Whoa.
What?
The debris
is floating away now.
Uh-oh.
Are we flying straight
into a black hole, Dino?
Remind me what
happens in a black hole.
Everything gets stretched
out like spaghetti and.
-[both screaming]
-[space time whooshing]
[Dino] Billie?
[Billie] Dino?
[Dino] I can't see you.
[Billie] I can't see myself.
I see the rock.
[Dino] Me too.
-It's gone.
-Hello?
Can anyone hear us?
Where are we?
[Alien] Hello, we can hear you
loud and clear.
Do you speak our language?
[Alien] No.
-You do.
-You are.
[Alien] We are at an interface
between time and space.
There is no matter here,
no passing of time.
There is no up or down.
But we can adopt the sounds
and the shapes
that have meaning for you.
Are you aliens?
[Alien] We are travelers.
We have come a very long way
with a mission to learn
more about your planet,
the Earth.
Cool.
What for?
[Alien] We received
a message indicating
that earthlings were interested
in meeting other
cosmic life forms,
and we liked the way
you made contact.
[upbeat jazz music]
With music?
[vocalist singing]
[Group] Music, music, music.
[Alien] But sadly, earthlings
are not a suitable
partner of civilization.
Why not?
[Alien] Because
you locked us up.
So the rock that we,
the one that brought us here.
[Alien]
One of us is all of us,
and all of us are as one.
That is why we couldn't leave.
We were no longer us, but now
we are again thanks to you.
Pleasure.
You're welcome.
[Alien] You humans are capable
of accomplishing truly
remarkable things,
things we did not find
anywhere else in the cosmos.
But then you throw
them away, why?
We don't want
to excuse ourselves
just because we're kids but, uh-
Some people believe
we all belong together,
but other people only
think of themselves
and behave like that too.
That's the difference
between us and you.
We would really
love to go back home.
Would we?
Of course!
[Alien] We need to
be honest with you.
If you continue this way,
your species
will cease to exist
in fewer than 100 Earth years.
That is why we have decided
to leave Earth's solar system
for the next
three million years.
But you two, you are special,
and we owe you a great
debt of gratitude.
If you like,
you can travel with us.
Um, thanks. That's very nice.
But, um, maybe another time.
[Alien] Hm?
Good choice, Dino.
Karacho and Karossa
are waiting for us.
[Alien] You are very different
from the other humans
we have observed.
-[chimes ringing]
-[gentle upbeat music]
Please accept this
small gift from us.
[upbeat music]
[rocks whooshing]
Okay.
Uh, how do we get out of here?
[Alien] We took the liberty
of repairing your spaceship,
so you can return home safely.
So I guess we just
jump in and fly off.
Okay.
[Billie sighs]
[Alex sighs]
[Wolfgang snoring]
[alarm beeping]
They're coming back.
People, they're coming back!
[alarm beeping]
Carlitta, action!
-What's happening?
-Everyone to your station.
-Come on.
-Come on, follow me.
[Scientist] Guys, come,
come, we need the data.
I need to know
the orbital velocity
and angle of entry right now.
What are the chances
of the capsule, uh...
Not burning up this time?
-[alarm beeping]
-[tense music]
How long until
they hit atmosphere?
They're coming in fast.
In eight, seven, six.
Oh no!
[dramatic music]
-[both screaming]
-[ship whooshing]
[gentle music]
[helicopters whirring]
[Billie groans]
[water splashing]
Oh. [sighs]
Is it over?
Mm-hmm.
[gentle music]
-[Dino grunts]
-[rock rattles]
Seriously?
-[Dino groans]
-[Billie groans]
[hatch hisses]
[helicopter whirring]
Are you good?
Mm-hmm.
[bright music playing]
[crowd cheering and applauding]
[Crowd Member] Yes!
[music continues to play]
[crowd cheering and applauding]
[crowd cheering and applauding]
Oh, welcome back! [laughs]
-You made it.
-Wow!
[Billie] Dad!
Dino!
[crowd cheering and applauding]
Be careful.
What?
Nothing.
You're just like her.
Like Mama?
You are much
lighter than she was.
Whoo-hoo!
Are you okay?
[Agent Silver sighs]
[Dino cheering]
Congratulations, you two.
You're both heroes, seriously.
Well done, really.
Before you take
your children home,
they have to come with us
for a moment.
Just a check up.
No big deal.
-It's okay, Dad.
-Yeah?
We want to change anyway,
right, Dino?
-Yep.
-Yeah!
[crowd applauding]
See you soon, Dad.
See you.
Make it quick, please.
We're very hungry.
[Agent Silver chuckles]
[Billie] Of course,
we knew immediately
who we were dealing with.
[Dino] With two guys
who will wring your neck
if you don't give them
what they want.
[Billie] Who will send
you to the dark side
of the Moon
if you mess with them.
[Dino] And whose fault it was
that the aliens
don't wanna come back
for another three million years.
[scanner whooshing]
[scanner beeping]
[Billie] The good
thing about these people
is that they underestimate kids.
[Dino] Always.
[gentle music]
[Billie] Which is why
it'll be their own fault
if they find themselves
on the dark side
of the Moon one day.
[gentle upbeat music]
Karossa, Karacho. [laughs]
Hello.
I missed you so much.
-[Billie laughing]
-[Dino giggling]
Adieu.
-[Dino laughing]
-[Billie laughing]
[gentle music]
[barbecue crackling]
Ah, I've been messy
since I was a kid.
[barbecue simmering]
Alex, another sausage?
Oh, I'd love to,
they were delicious,
but I'm so full,
I've got no space left.
Uh, I'll take another one,
my love bunny.
And I'll sing you
all a nice song.
[Silke sighs]
[gentle upbeat music]
It's weird that this rock
doesn't float,
and its weight is normal.
I think it's just a souvenir.
Of the aliens?
Hmm, of the aliens,
[gentle music]
of our journey into space,
[Dino laughs]
and of my mother.
Now I really do believe
she's up there.
[gentle music playing]
Of the music!
[both laughing]
And of the fact
that we're best friends.
[gentle upbeat music]
[Billie yawns]
Good night, Billie.
Good night, Dino.
[gentle upbeat music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
[upbeat music continues to play]
Jumping over fences
Picking up stones
I never walk alone
I never walk alone
Swim across the ocean
Look up in the sky
I never walk alone

[gentle upbeat music playing]
[gentle music playing]
[static crackling]
[radio whooshing]
-Wow!
-Wow!
[laughs]
[gentle upbeat music]
[dog barking in a distance]
[upbeat music playing]
[Billie laughs]
[tires skidding]
Dad, you have to hear this.
-It explains everything.
-Everything.
-[static crackling]
-[radio whooshing]
My first question,
why at 2:30 a.m.
on a Wednesday night
is there a boy
in our living room
that I don't know?
Don't worry, my parents
have no idea that I'm here.
Hmm.
Do you wanna hear it again, Dad?
No, thank you.
Here's the key
to the translation.
We're just getting started,
but it's definitely a language.
This is the worst excuse
for a kid coming home late
that I've-- I've ever heard.
I thought your dad
was a real scientist.
Yes, I am.
That's how I know
that aliens just don't exist.
-They do!
-They do!
They don't.
[both] Then how come
they've sent us a message?
[Billie] You heard correctly,
a message from aliens.
But to explain why we
of all people
received their message,
I better go back
to the very beginning.
Everything started when Dad
and I moved to a suburb
on the other side of town
to be closer to our new school.
[Alex] Got it.
I started high school
after the summer
and Dad got a job teaching
Physics and Math
at the same school.
Super convenient since
it's just the two of us now.
[gentle music]
Obviously I didn't know
anyone here,
so I went to scope
out the neighborhood,
and this is what I found.
[Dino groaning]
Hey, do you need some help?
[Dino groaning]
Hmm?
-[antenna rattling]
-[gentle upbeat music]
[both laughing]
[both panting]
I didn't think you looked like
someone who could really help.
You neither.
Yeah, so, I fell into
the scrap press over there.
Will the limp ever get better?
Nope.
We got this on insurance.
I've tuned it a bit,
but it won't get
better than this.
What you need is a connection
between the electrical current
in your nerve cells
and the mechanics.
Exactly!
Come on.
Billie was really cool
and she thought the same as me.
[horn honking]
So I had to show her something
I'd never shown
to anyone else in the world.
Wow.
[gentle upbeat music]
I believe that there are
intelligent beings out there
much smarter than us humans.
And I wanna talk to them.
Okay.
[machinery crackling]
[radio chatting indistinctly]
But Dino's space telescope
wasn't working yet,
so I grabbed a few books
from Dad's library.
My dad is actually
an astrophysicist,
which means he studies space.
My mom was an astronaut,
for real.
[Dino] Here.
Every day, we made
our radio telescope
a little bit better.
Hmm.
Cool.
-[radio crackling]
-[gentle upbeat music]
[Billie]
So no more police radio.
This was real noise
from outer space but...
The signal is too weak.
[both] More copper coils!
[Billie sighs]
[dogs barking]
Hey!
[metal clattering]
What are you doing there?
[dogs barking]
Um, removing copper coils.
[walkie-talkie beeps]
Silke, honey,
call the police. Roger.
It's okay, Dad, that's Billie.
She's my friend.
[Billie chuckles]
Silke, maybe you
should come here instead.
Roger.
[radio whooshing]
And what do you say now?
Copper, nickel, tungsten.
Tungsten, the good aluminum
from the wheels, right?
Yeah, worth at least
2,500 bucks.
More like 2,700.
Mm-hmm.
Damn, boy, we've been wondering
why at the end of the month,
we're always
a few roll short, hmm?
[Dino sighs]
These are raw materials.
They go up in price, you know.
At some point, they'll be worth
twice as much given
the situation in the world.
Sybil, right?
Listen, Sybil--
Billie, it's short
for Annabelle.
Annabelle just never suited me.
Huh, right,
that's interesting.
Do you even know
what we're doing here?
[Silke] No.
We're in the process
of deciphering alien language.
Ah.
Hmm.
Translating.
[Wolfgang groans]
[Dino]
From then on, Billie was banned
from the scrap yard,
- because firstly...
-This isn't a playground.
This is a business.
[Dino] And secondly...
-Yeah, but--
- It's enough
if you see Dino at school.
But it's the summer holidays.
Good.
[door rattles and bangs]
And we don't even go
to the same school!
[Billie groans]
Dino was forced to help
with the daily work
for the rest of the holidays,
because firstly...
You're old enough.
[Billie] And secondly...
[Wolfgang] This way,
you earn your own money.
[Billie] Thirdly, because...
That's life,
even if you have a lame leg
and two left hands.
-Hmm?
-[Dino groans]
[Billie] From then on,
we could only meet at night,
and our extraterrestrial
eavesdropping
became a top secret mission.
-[owl hooting]
-[tense music playing]
[dogs barking]
Here, you two.
[tense music playing]
-[machinery beeping]
-[gentle music playing]
[Dino] We had
to figure out a way
to give the old
analog technology
a digital boost.
[Billie] So Dino resoldered
the entire motherboard again,
and one night...
[Dino] We finally got it.
[Billie]
The clearest signal ever.
-Billie!
-What?
[radio whooshing]
-Wow!
-Wow!
[Billie] We were absolutely sure
that we had
everything we needed
to prove that aliens were
trying to make contact.
[gentle upbeat music]
[Dino] We'd just
forgotten two small things.
Firstly, let sleeping dogs lie.
[Billie] And secondly,
even my oh-so-smart doctor dad
can be really ignorant.
Really, really ignorant.
That's how I know
that aliens just don't exist.
-They do!
-They do!
They don't.
[both] Then how come
they've sent us a message?
[doorbell ringing]
[gasps] Damn, my parents.
Thank goodness.
Where's my son?
[Alex] I, uh.
[Dino groans]
Ah!
Wait, Karossa, come!
So, if I catch your daughter
anywhere near our son again,
I will set Karossa
and Karacho on her.
Is that clear?
[Billie sighs]
And you, little scamp, hmm-hmm.
Come on.
[Billie sighs]
-No.
-Yes.
[Alex] No.
-Why not?
-Nope, no, negative.
But why not?
Because you've fallen victim
to a reciprocal logic
desire coupling.
What?
I listened to your
recordings again,
and it does indeed have
a recurring structure.
So what?
Look, this tone
sequence, come and look.
This, for example,
is also a sequence of sounds
with a multiple structure,
from which the word fantasy
can be derived.
And what do we hear?
Firstly, suckling
piglets on a mother sow.
Secondly, gale force
wins on a sailing boat.
And last, we hear raindrops
on a steel barrel.
Okay, great.
So we're just idiots,
is that it?
Billie.
Billie, Billie,
as much as I'd love to. [groans]
[sighs]
You get that from your mother.
[Wolfgang groans]
[antenna clatters]
[Silke] Be careful, please!
[Wolfgang] I am being careful!
[Silke] No, you're not.
You nearly dropped
that thing on my head.
Do you know what I used
to dream about?
[Silke] You oaf.
[Wolfgang] I checked first!
That my parents
aren't my real parents.
[Silke] I saw you,
you didn't check.
Why is that?
-Well...
- You just kicked it off.
Just two random people
that I ended up with.
-Non-sense.
-You never know.
I thought a spaceship
would land here one day
-and pick me up.
-You're being silly!
You used to daydream
about being an alien.
Sometimes I still do.
Silke!
Is that bad?
[Silke] What is it now?
Well, yeah.
-Just give me a hand!
-With your parents.
[Wolfgang] Silke!
-[Dino laughing]
-[Billie laughing]
Billie, do you really
believe something's up there?
Honestly?
Well, when my mom died,
everyone said that,
"Your mom is now up there
in heaven,"
but I never saw her there.
I was five.
So I asked my dad,
an expert in all things
to do with space.
He explained everything
to me, the planets,
the galactic nebula,
galaxies, everything.
And then at some point I knew,
my mom isn't up there.
But, uh, since then,
I also believe in aliens.
What's that?
Read it.
If anyone can help us, it's her.
"Dear ESA team.
My name is Billie.
I'm 11 years old and
a space explorer.
Together with my friend Dino,
I constructed a space
radio telescope."
My little miracle probe weighs
less than 12 kilograms,
11.83 to be exact.
And in case you're
wondering why it's so tiny,
the tinier the object,
the harder to hit.
As soon as we navigate
my little masterpiece here
into the Bermuda Triangle,
it has to avoid
masses of space debris
and withstand speed pressure.
The only thing
that interests us,
will your little masterpiece
find what we want?
[Agent Grey]
More of the weightless matter.
Do you know a scientist
who could build
a better probe than me?
Do you know
the dark side of the Moon?
A popular place
for female scientists
who overestimate themselves.
[probe beeping]
Arrange the loading now.
[tense music]
[box clicking]
[announcer]
All personnel please...
-Margot, there you are.
We should finally go
through the invitation list.
I have this great request
from this--
No press, no public
this time, please.
No public this time?
Unmanned flight, basic research.
No one is interested in that.
It's still a rocket launch.
If we don't invite the press,
it's gonna look like we
have something to hide.
What?
Do we have something to hide?
No.
Well then.
Carlitta, just do
what you think.
I can't take care of everything.
Hmm, fine then.
Dino! Dino!
Dino, they invited us!
[Billie claps]
[horn honks]
Can you imagine the kind
of devices the Spaceport has?
Stuff that could
help us make contact.
Yeah, they're the pros.
They have everything.
I have to go there.
Will your parents say yes?
Never.
[sighs] Never in my life.
I'm all right
at signature forging.
Hmm.
Will your dad say yes?
-Hmm, mm-hmm.
-[Dino laughs]
No, never, no, no.
[sighs] But why not, Dad?
It's on the other
side of the world.
It would be expensive.
And isn't there something
starting in four days?
Ah, the school year.
Yes, but--
Billie, high school,
need I say more?
Come on, you know.
Yes, but this could be
a valuable
educational trip, hmm?
Nice try. It's still a no.
You are scared.
Scared of what, hmm?
You used to work there
with mama.
Seven years ago.
And you still
know all the people.
No, I don't.
To the bright stars
I wanna fly there
But gravity just doesn't
Billie, stop, stop.
That's your mom's song.
The earth is smelling
Worse and worse
I'm not scared.
That's why you became
a physics teacher like grandpa,
not an astronaut like mom.
[announcer]
Space for carry on luggage
is limited.
Please place larger items
on the trolley next
to the aircraft.
We'll provide you
with the required label.
-Please ensure...
-Here.
The label contains
your full name and address.
And your parents?
Um, not coming.
Are you the
accompanying adult?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
We're about to depart, sir.
Can I speak to your parents?
Um, sure.
Here.
What?
Don't worry,
my mom won't answer.
Who will?
It's called a bribe.
My cousin's a girl.
Okay, good.
Your mom was nicer this time.
Okay, good then.
Let's go.
[gentle upbeat music]
Jumping over fences
Picking up stones
I never walk alone
I never walk alone
Swim across the ocean
Look up in the sky

Lucky me, lucky me
[gasps] Billie, over there.
Lucky me, lucky me

Lucky me, lucky me

Un, deux, trois
Quatre, cinq, six
[Alex groans]
We'll take things easy today,
little monsters.
Tomorrow, I'll show
you my old office,
and where Billie's mom worked.
-[Billie laughing]
-[Dino laughing]
So much for taking it easy.
Well then.
That's why today's launch,
like all unmanned
research flights,
is of the utmost importance.
Any questions?
Good, then that's all for today.
-We can all get back--
-[both] I've got one.
-Hello?
-[Billie] Over here!
Yes?
[Carlitta sighs]
[guest coughs]
Thanks.
Bonjour, everyone.
My name is Billie
and this is Dino.
We've come a very long way.
Thanks for inviting us.
Have you listened
to our recording yet?
What recording?
Well, the message
from the aliens.
[crowd laughing]
-[Audience Member] Aliens.
-Yeah, I'm just gonna, yeah.
[Audience Member] Oh, they
really said that, mm-hmm.
-[static crackling]
-[radio whooshing]
And what do you say to that?
Yes, Dr. Boshley,
do you believe in aliens?
Listen, Dino, back
when I was your age
or maybe a little younger,
I did believe in aliens, Dino,
and Santa Claus as well.
Then as I got older,
I realized Santa only came
every year, if I'd been good.
The thing is,
I never saw any aliens.
Neither have we,
but we've heard them.
As I'm sure you already know,
the distances in outer
space are so vast,
the chances of an
extraterrestrial encounter
are tens to the power of-
Eighteen times lower
than acoustic contact.
That's why we focused
on receiving sound messages.
We are sure we can decipher
the messages with help from you.
We would like to
send them a reply,
but the thing is our
radio device is broken.
-Yeah, sure.
-Yes, in fact. [coughs]
In fact, in fact,
we have received such messages.
Let me show you.
Come on, come here.
[announcer] All guests,
please carry your
visitors ID at all times.
Failure to comply may result
in being expelled
from the facility.
-Alex, hey!
-Hey, Tomasio.
[Alex speaking in
foreign language]
[Tomasio speaking
in foreign language]
It's great to see you.
-Same here, old friend.
-I'm surprised.
[Tomasio laughs]
Is that Annabelle?
Yeah, that's Billie
and a stray I picked up, Dino.
Tell me, did you send
the kids the invitation?
The invitation came from me.
Oh, hello Carlitta. [laughs]
It has been too long
since we saw you, Alex.
-Oh, come on.
-It has.
Uh-oh, the boss
is trying to be nice now.
Is Boshley your new boss?
-Oh, yeah.
-Oh, yeah.
[announcer]
Dr. Fouche to reception.
Dr. Fouche to reception.
[radio whooshing]
Whoever hears this message,
was...
[radio whooshing]
totally and thoroughly...
Wow.
Suckered.
[crowd laughing]
Sorry, kiddies.
We have thousands of recordings
like these in the archives.
It's probably just
some bored kid
who's a little smarter
than you are.
It's just a juvenile prank.
[Audience Member]
Oh, poor kids.
[announcer] T minus one hour.
-[cameras clicking]
-[somber music]
[Billie] So my dad
was right as always,
no one believed us.
[Dino]
Even worse, they treated us
like a couple of sweet kids.
[Billie] Not that the lemonade
they gave us
was even close to sweet.
Even my teeth are wincing.
[Billie] No one
took any notice of us.
[Dino]
And that was our way in.
Excuse me, sir,
but Dr. Boshley said
that you've received
thousands of alien messages.
Um, where can we find them?
-Jurgen?
-Mm-hmm.
Extraterrestrial intelligence,
does that department
still exist?
Nope.
Boshley closed it
down years ago.
I'm sure it's all archived.
But where?
Boshley's office,
she keeps everything.
Why do you want? Oh.
Hmm.
Um.
[phone ringing]
Okay.
These are cool.
But which way?
Mm.
I think,
I think it's back there.
Come on.
[Margot] Of course the
mission is going as planned.
[gasps] Go, go, go.
I don't understand
why you're bothering me.
The press conference
didn't go as planned.
The press conference
went poorly.
They were just kids.
Kids talk non-sense.
No one takes them seriously.
Except when they talk
about aliens.
You only had one task, doctor.
No unnecessary publicity.
Hmm? [sighs]
Why do I always
have this feeling
that you two don't trust me?
Doctor, if you had the chance
to own the greatest discovery
humanity has ever made,
who would you trust?
I will have to think about that.
We don't.
Has our cargo being assigned?
-[Dino panting]
-[Billie panting]
Hall B, Gate 3, 10 minutes.
[door beeps, buzzes]
[announcer]
T minus 40 minutes.
Hmm.
[tense music]
[door knocking]
Hello, madam?
Um, madam doctor?
[tense music]
[Billie] Huh?
She just came in here.
Maybe there's another exit.
It's so weird.
Nevermind.
See if you can find
anything to do with aliens.
Hmm.
[Billie sighs]
[door beeps and whooshes]
[tense music]
The cargo's goes on the move.
-[box rattling]
-[tense music]
[door slams]
[Billie sighs]
Hmm.
Billie, what if they're
hiding aliens here,
like the Americans?
Weird, there's no
reader for this chip card.
I don't get it.
Look at that photo.
What?
She looks like
a witch in this one.
Hmm?
Hmm.
[panel beeps]
[door whooshes]
[Billie laughs]
[Dino pants]
[door whooshes]
-Oh.
-Wow.
[gentle music playing]
Wow! [pants]
[gentle music continues]
Your letter!
And look, it's our recorder
with the alien message.
[Dino sighs]
Hmm.
Hmm.
They don't need our recording.
[computer beeps and whooshes]
Boshley's a professional.
I knew it from the start.
What's that?
Notes for, um, a kind
of decryption key, I think.
I can't even read this.
[somber music playing]
What is it?
That woman looks like you.
[somber music playing]
Billie, quick, come here.
What is that?
A floating...
A floating rock?
[gentle music]
[case whooshes]
[rock whirring]
A magnet?
It's kind of heavy,
but also not.
[gentle music]
[rock whirring]
What is it?
No idea. Hmm.
There's only one explanation.
This rock isn't from Earth.
Exactamente, senorina.
And we fell
for the witch's tricks.
Hook, line and sinker.
Exactamente , you pesky
little know-it-alls.
Give me that right now.
It belongs to me.
I'm not so sure about that.
Come on, you.
Ow! Billie, catch. [groans]
[Margot gasps and groans]
-[Dino yells]
-[Margot screams]
Let's go.
-Hurry!
-[Margot groans]
-[Margot panting]
-[dramatic music]
Security!
Catch those kids
and you'll get a bonus.
This way.
-[kids panting]
-[guard groaning]
[dramatic music playing]
[Security Guard]
They're here somewhere.
Let's search this office.
[dramatic music]
Ready.
-[Dino screaming]
-[Billie screaming]
-[Dino groaning]
-[Billie panting]
[tense music]
[Driver]
Where does this go again?
[announcer]
T minus 30 minutes.
-[Dino panting]
-[Billie panting]
-[Dino groans]
-[Billie groans]
[Billie panting]
[Billie] Shh.
Where now?
Back to the sour
lemonade shop.
We have to find my dad.
We'll tell
and show him everything.
[Billie panting]
[machinery whirring]
Let's hide in here
until the coast is clear.
[tense music]
[Billie groans and pants]
[Radio Operator]
Start loading.
[tense music]
[tires screeching]
Ah, amigo.
Hands off.
[Driver] Look, sorry,
I just wanted to-
We'll take it, thank you.
Okay.
No signal, damn.
When we show them what we found,
no one will even care
about this boring
research launch.
[gentle upbeat music]
At least they're gonna
believe us now. [laughs]
[truck whirring]
[tense music]
Hm?
Dr. Boshley,
you can take it from here.
[tense music]
[truck whirring]
Carlitta, thank you
for inviting those kids.
It really livened things up.
Really, what a treat.
Some last minute
cargo has been assigned.
-Yes, for me.
-All right,
but how much longer before
you test the launch?
-Oh.
-The parameter's set.
Well, thank you for
letting me know, I guess.
The order came from the top.
It had to happen fast as always.
-That looks good.
-Trust me,
I'm also really annoyed.
[phone ringing]
[Carlitta sighs]
Alexander?
[Scientist] Place
that over there for me.
The loser.
-Check the sides are full.
-Margot, the intern?
I thought you were
a kindergarten teacher.
A physics teacher,
and that and maths.
Why are you in Caru,
in the staff area no less?
-Um, I...
- Everything is parallel
with what we have.
I'm looking for the
kids, Billie and Dino.
You met them earlier at
the press conference.
Ah.
-In two minutes-
- Do you have dogs here?
Uh, not yet.
Uh, Margot. [sighs]
She's certainly
come a long way.
Can nobody do their
jobs around here?
The kids can't
have gone too far.
They would have to have
clearance to leave.
Did you check the lemonade shop?
[Alex clicks]
-[zip rattling]
-[gentle music]
-Careful!
-[Billie yells]
[Billie sighs]
[Dino sighs]
Whoa.
Well, at least that went well.
[announcer]
T minus one minute.
[tense music]
Strange, huh?
Yeah.
The boxes are strapped
in all the way around,
as if there's no up or down.
Why is it so cramped in here?
It's like, like the
room is a container.
[announcer]
Thirty, 29, 28, 27--
Status reports for all stations.
-[announcer] Twenty five, 24...
-All stations are go.
-All systems are ready.
-Confirmed.
All systems are go.
[ship whirring]
[Dino gasps]
Well, you two are
missing the best part.
-Too bad.
-Ten.
[Group]
Nine, eight, seven, six...
This can't be real.
[announcer] Three, two, one.
-[thrusters rumbling]
-[tense music]
-[Dino screaming]
-[Billie screaming]
-[ship whooshing]
-[gentle music]
[crowd cheering and applauding]
Lift off.
All systems are nominal.
Roll program complete,
flight path clear.
Nearing maximum
dynamic pressure.
We have an additional
weight of 72.5 kilograms.
Seventy two.
[Tomasio] 72.5 kilograms?
Altitude control
has compensated,
all is nominal and on course.
SRBs jettisoned.
Will the extra
weight have an impact?
All looks good, flight.
-Look at that.
-Jettisoning is 70 seconds.
Strange, there are
two temperature hotspots
-in the cargo bay.
-There they are.
-That's strange.
-Hotspots, but from what?
[Scientist]
Central stage jettisoned.
EPS upper stage parameters-
-It is strange.
-Nominal.
T minus 10 seconds
to weightlessness.
Billie, isn't this just
the coolest thing ever?
I'm scared. [sobs]
[ship whooshing]
[gentle music]
Ah!
Whoa!
Wow.
[Billie sighs]
I think we just
arrived in space.
My dad is going
to be so angry.
[gentle music]
Yoohoo!
[gentle upbeat music]
[Dino laughs]
[Billie] Ah.
-[Billie laughs]
-[Dino laughs]
This is mission control
from planet Earth.
80-V-23.
Please come in.
[tense music]
Hm?
[door whooshes]
[gentle upbeat music]
[Billie sighs]
[controls beeping]
[dramatic music]
Oh my!
[sighs]
[tense music]
[phone ringing]
Um, if you can hear me,
there's a button
between the seats.
It's red
and it should light up.
Just push that button
to talk to me.
You go.
Um.
Hi, and um, sorry.
We really have no idea
how this could have happened.
I'm guessing
that's not the cargo
you authorized, Margot.
Change the capsule system
from unmanned to manned,
or children's.
This is not good.
[Visitor 1] It's the
two kids from earlier.
[Visitor 2]
What's going on exactly?
Something's happened.
We need to find out.
Does anyone know?
[tense music]
What's going on?
[Visitor 2]
This is a travesty.
You can't have
children up there.
This is terrible.
Who's the idiot who decided
it was a good idea
to invite the press here?
[sighs]
[Scientist] Solutions.
Carlitta, embargo on all press.
Notify security personnel.
Full emergency protocol.
Nobody in and nobody out.
[scanner beeps]
-Mm-mm.
-[announcer] Attention ,
security level five
has been implemented.
Please follow the instructions
of our security personnel
to the letter.
No!
-No access.
-I have to go in.
-Sorry-
-My daughter and-
[announcer]
Attention, security level five
-You have to let me in.
Sorry, we can't.
Listen, that is my daughter.
-Please.
-I'm sorry, we can't.
Okay. Merci.
-Attention...
-Damn it!
[announcer] Security level
five has been implemented.
The first rule of being
an astronaut is stay calm.
We have everything
under control, understand?
We can operate all the
controls from here on Earth.
You see?
[Dino laughs]
All right, kids,
this is the plan.
We will get you back to Earth
as quickly as possible.
[Billie] Okay.
No, it's okay. It's fine.
But first we have
to fly you to the ISS.
No one's there at the moment,
but it's our only option.
But why?
[Tomasio] Because, well, uh,
your spacecraft wasn't
made to come back
through Earth's atmosphere.
We'd burn up, right?
-Right, Dino.
-Let's move on to phase two.
But it won't come to that.
We're already preparing
a second mission
to pick you up
from the ISS, easy as that.
[Billie laughs]
Easy as that.
[Dino] How long will it take?
Well, we're doing
the calculations now.
You can go back to the
cargo hold in container...
25-B-32.
In container 25-B-32,
you'll find spacesuits.
You can put them on.
And when you're ready,
I'll have more info for you.
What a disaster.
It's good to distract
them with small tasks.
[Carlitta] Ugh, this is
gonna be so bad for us.
-[Margot sighs]
-[phone buzzes]
It's not how it looks,
it's far worse.
Dino!
[door banging]
Open up kid.
You've overslept!
[dogs panting]
Silke, hun, have you found him?
Roger.
No, and I don't
have time for this.
I know he's hiding in there,
but I can't get in.
So then make some noise.
I am making noise!
Dino! [bangs]
[Silke sighs]
[dog barks]
[horn honks]
[dogs panting]
Dino.
[dogs panting]
[walkie-talkie beeps]
Silke, hun!
Will you please stop yelling?
Come on!
He's written, "I'm going
with my friend Billie
looking for aliens.
Might be a while."
Well, he's truly lost it.
"I'll pay back the money
I took for the ticket, promise."
What, did he buy them tickets
to Disneyland or something?
[Wolfgang groans]
[Reporter]
As you can see behind me,
the coach is passing us now.
Wait a minute.
[Reporter] From here,
it'll go down Main Street.. .
-No, he couldn't have.
-And then Constabulary Road.
[upbeat music]
[Reporter] Coming to you live
from the Spaceport.
During a planned
unmanned research flight
to the International
Space Station,
two children were discovered
to be on board.
The stowaways are two
11-year-old children...
-Thanks, Mom and Dad-
- Who had not realized
-they had boarded a rocket.
-Dino.
[Reporter] They're currently
at an altitude of approximately
400 kilometers,
and orbiting the Earth
at a speed of over
20,000 kilometers per hour.
Oh, holy smokes.
[Reporter] The incident
has caused a global stir.
Two 11 year olds
have unexpectedly
found themselves in space.
[gentle upbeat music]
[Dino groans]
Mm.
Dino, are you scared?
Mm, not even a bit. [laughs]
Well, I was wondering
if we might see some aliens.
I mean, anything
is possible, right?
This is the best radio
equipment I have ever seen,
and if we can figure this out,
we can send the aliens
a message.
[static crackling]
[Tomasio] This is Tomasio
from Mission Control.
Billie, Dino, are you two okay?
Yes, the spacesuits fit great.
I'm glad to hear it.
Your remaining flight time
is six hours and four minutes,
and you've already
done half of it.
You should be able
to see the ISF.
Mm, at the moment,
it looks like a toy.
[Tomasio]
It is, a really big one.
Do you have any questions?
Yeah, um, what does
the black control knob
to the left of the radio do?
[Tomasio] Uh, that should
change the frequency.
Yeah, I thought so.
[Tomasio] Is the
signal clear on your end?
-Yeah, yeah.
-Yeah, yeah.
[announcer] Attention,
security level five
has been implemented.
[tense music]
[container rattling]
[tense music continues]
[door rattling]
[ship whooshes]
[Tomasio]
Maybe try to get some sleep.
It's been a big day
and it's not over yet.
[radio whirring]
Please try not to
touch anything else,
then nothing can go wrong,
okay?
[sighs] Okay.
Shout later.
[Dino laughs]
Come on.
[radio crackling]
[Alex grunts and pants]
[tense music]
Come on.
Ah, these damn things.
-[Alex panting]
-[tense music]
You've promised
our organization
you would find
the place in outer space
that has more
of that weightless material.
[Agent Grey] Instead,
the only rock was stolen-
By kids who then
flew in a space.
And who will sooner or later
broadcast their
discovery to the world.
That will not happen.
[Agent Silver] Margot,
you may be brilliant,
Or at least believe you are.
But never forget,
our organization made you.
[Agent Grey]
And our organization
can just as easily--
I know very well
what your organization
can and can't do.
We want the rock back
at any cost.
I want it back too.
You just get the
kids safely to the ISS.
We'll take care of the rest.
-No, I think that I--
-Shh.
-[snacks rattling]
-[tense music]
[sighs]
Stay strong, Margot.
It'll be fine.
-[vent crashes]
-[Alex grunts]
[Alex groaning]
[Alex coughs]
Alexander Muller.
[Alex panting]
What's going on here?
Huh? [pants]
[gentle music]
You really have no idea, do you?
[gentle music]
[radio whirring]
I'm close.
I think me too, almost.
This is like an
interpreting device
to understand aliens.
So you can read those scrawls?
Yeah, quite easily.
[Dino] How?
My handwriting's the same.
Huh?
Dino, Boshley didn't write this.
Then who did?
My mother.
Huh? I don't get it.
You know that photo
that we saw in the secret lab,
the one with Boshley,
the man and the woman
who looked like me?
Yeah.
-It's her.
-Your mother?
Mm-hmm.
But, [sighs] what?
So, your mother and Dr. Boshley,
they were working together.
I want to know
what happened to Lauren.
Lauren believed in aliens,
that's all you need to know.
Lauren researched
sound signals in space.
She sent signals out
and received them.
Yes, she told me that,
but it was a dead end,
so she dropped the whole thing.
Ah, hey!
[Margot pants]
[sighs]
When you returned home,
Lauren started building
this institute.
I was never an intern.
We were a team.
Why didn't she
tell me about this?
Lauren wanted to protect you.
I barely remember my mother.
Dad always talks
a lot about her.
There are photos
of us everywhere.
In all the photos,
we're smiling.
The only one smiling
in our photos are the dogs.
[both laughing]
What does your dad say?
What was she like, your mom?
She was a lot like me.
Well, that means
she was pretty cool.
[Dino chuckles]
Let's try to make
contact with the aliens.
What did they tell
you about how she died?
That it was a plane crash,
a private flight
from Cayenne to Miami.
She was on a secret
mission with Akido.
Officially, the
flight was unmanned.
Sorry?
Lauren wanted to investigate
the signal's source.
This is not a character
based language like we thought.
It's a rhythmic melody
based semantic code.
Huh?
It's all here.
I'm not good at that,
at singing.
I'm also bad at it.
The main thing is the rhythm.
The main thing
is getting an answer.
Ooh, ah-ha-ha
Ooh, ah-ha-ha
I just remembered,
the Aboriginal
Australians can sing maps.
-Really?
-Yep.
One sings and the other
one finds the way,
without understanding the text.
See? Hmm.
The signal came
from this area.
So much space debris
has collected here,
it must be a place
with extreme gravity.
A black hole in
our solar system?
Yes.
That's where Akido
and Lauren went,
and then contact was lost.
I think that you're
making this up.
Hmm?
Tom, look at this.
Come here.
The capsule reappeared
four days later.
It careened
uncontrollably to earth
and burned up in the atmosphere.
[Alex sighs]
But she found aliens, Alexander.
She found aliens, really?
[Margot laughs]
What we found in the remnants
of the capsule was a rock,
symmetrical with
a higher density than osmium,
and not subject
to the laws of gravity.
[Alex sighs]
Do you know how many people
would kill for that?
And where's the rock now?
Ooh, ha-ha-ha
Ooh, ha-ha-ha
Got it.
Um, what does it actually mean?
Mm.
Ooh, ah
Is the tonal
equivalent of hello,
or welcome, or peace.
Hmm. One more?
Ooh, ah-ha-ha
Ooh, ah-ha-ha
[gentle upbeat music]
Ah, hmm.
One more?
Maybe I missed something.
Maybe I misunderstood.
Or is it the wrong frequency?
[radio crackles]
Ooh, ah-ha-ha
[laughs] Yeah!
Ooh, ah-ha-ha
We have made contact, yes!
[both laughing]
[both] We have to get our son.
Yes, but the dogs
need to go in a crate.
Are you an idiot?
I have tickets for all of us.
Yes, but the dogs
must go in dog crates.
No way!
[dog barking]
Oh, quiet, quiet.
Be quiet. [coughs]
This is about our son.
[announcer]
Flight 7093 boarding.
Passengers,
please go to the gate.
Do you have children,
or maybe
a pretty girlfriend, hm?
Or a sick mother?
[clears throat]
Hm?
You're not serious, are you?
[announcer] Don't leave
any luggage unattended.
If you see unattended luggage,
please notify
your nearest security guard.
Do not approach
the unattended luggage.
[aliens singing]
It's that first message again.
But why?
Maybe they've had enough
small talk.
Yeah, but what are they saying?
We know now
that it's not a greeting.
Hmm.
[machinery beeping]
Do you think the message
has something
to do with the rock?
Maybe, but what?
[Dino singing]
[Tomasio] Dino, Billie?
Oh, no, not now, please.
[Tomasio] Hello, Dino,
Billie, are you there?
This is mission control.
Can you hear me?
[Dino singing]
Loud and clear.
[Tomasio] I told you
not to touch anything,
not even the radio.
We're sorry,
but we couldn't sleep.
It's okay, a little fun is fine,
but things are about
to get serious.
Look out the front window.
-Wow!
-Wow!
We're docking in a few minutes.
And we'll be controlling it
from here, you remember?
So please promise
you won't touch
a thing, nothing,
then nothing can go wrong.
-Okay.
-Okay.
And we also have
a co-host joining us.
I'll hand you over.
[chuckles] Thanks.
Hey, Billie, you guys okay?
-Daddy!
-Yes, honey.
Sorry, I wanted to get in touch,
but I was looking
in the wrong places.
[Scientist] Program B.
We didn't mean to, Dad.
I believe you.
But it's gonna take a while
for us to send a new
rocket to pick you up.
How long, Dad?
Pass the data chart.
One or two days.
You'll have the ISS all
to yourselves in the meantime.
Can you come
and pick us up, Daddy?
[Margot laughs]
Okay, I'll see
if that's possible.
Uh, we need to start docking.
Then start now.
The program is running,
but the capsule's
moving too fast.
Run the correction program.
It's already running, no effect.
With no effect.
What do you mean, no effect?
[gentle music]
[Tomasio] Okay, kids,
are you ready
for a little game?
Uh, yeah. What game?
Uh, imagine you're
sitting in a spaceship
and suddenly there's a hitch.
Well, we are sitting
in a spaceship.
Uh, yes, exactly.
And just suppose,
imagine that all of a sudden,
there's a problem
and then you just--
Okay, Billie, Dino,
here's the deal.
The automated docking system
is not working properly.
Okay, which means?
You have to do it.
[Billie] Okay.
Okay, so we have three minutes
to get you safely to the ISS.
In 40 seconds,
we'll switch to manual control.
But, Dad, we don't know
how to fly this thing.
Yes, I know, honey.
You'll be the first kids
to dock a spacecraft
at the International
Space Station.
But first we need
to choose the pilot.
Dino, what video
games do you play?
-Oh.
- A bit of everything.
I like "Mario Kart"
against my father.
[Alex sighs]
And who usually wins?
Um, I do every time.
What's your online score?
Twelve thousand and a bit.
What?
I have 3,000. My dad has two.
Well, I do play a lot.
All right, Dad,
Dino will steer.
- Okay.
In three, two, one.
[computer beeping]
Dino, the shift's
in your hands.
Dino, all you have to do
is steer the tip of the capsule
to the center
of the docking port.
Uh, there's a cross
on your periscope.
You need to line it up
with that of the ISS,
then your course is correct.
[machinery beeping]
Okay, but is, is it normal
that the ISS is spinning?
Yes, it is spinning,
and so are you,
which makes it tricky.
They can't do it.
Uh, does this thing
even have any brakes?
My parents say brakes
are bad for business.
You can see her.
Do you see the display screen?
It shows distance
and time to contact.
[Billie] Okay.
[ship whooshing]
Nothing's happening.
[Alex]
There's just a slight delay.
I have to say
it's a bit different
than a console controller.
Hmm.
Turn back.
Dino, you have to turn back,
turn back a bit.
[computer beeping]
They're too fast.
Speed's fine,
he knows that from Mario.
Dino, do you see the
docking lock slowly turning?
Um, the big shaft
with the bright dot?
Yes, exactly.
That's it. Good job.
Whoa, our aim has
to be really perfect.
It's the only way, right?
[Alex] Yes.
How is an eight-year-old
supposed to calculate drift?
I'm not an eight-year-old!
[sighs] We know, sorry, Dino.
Do you think you can do it?
Dino, Dino?
Can you just be quiet, Dad?
Twenty more seconds
to contact, Dino.
Okay.
The screen is saying
we're too far to the right.
Okay.
-[computer beeping]
-[tense music]
Not too low.
I'm just going
on instinct now, okay?
[tense music playing]
[ship whooshing]
Will it fit?
It has to.
-[ship beeping]
-[both screaming]
[dramatic music]
[ship crashes]
-[screen crackles]
-[Alex groans]
[everyone cheering
and applauding]
[Carlitta] They did it!
Okay, docking
maneuver successful.
Billie and Dino, great job.
Welcome to the
International Space Station.
[both giggling]
[door hissing]
You must be hungry, right?
Yeah.
[Alex] Here's an insider tip,
every crew that visits the ISS
leaves smuggled treats
in a secret hiding place,
chips, chocolates, ice cream.
Where is it?
[Alex] That would be telling.
Okay, I guess you two
heroes have earned it.
Look for a module
with a lot of stickers on it.
It's flickering here.
This way.
[gentle upbeat music]
Whoa.
Hmm.
Hmm, "Do not open."
[gentle upbeat music]
[Dino] Ah!
I'd say this makes
our trip worth it.
Yeah. Chips!
If we see you
Bingo.
Put your hands down
I won't hit ya
This a payback
Not a stick up
Space Cola? Hmm.
Shake the can, Billie.
Good idea.
You won't miss it
Oh, you a Christian
You'll forgive us
If you with me middle
finger to the sky
Wow!
We're the kids that you
Wished you ain't heard about
The ones that you don't
wanna talk about, kids
If you with me,
Pull the trigger, let 'em fly
We're the kids that you
wished you ain't heard about
The ones that you don't
Wanna talk about, kids
It's going somewhere.
[computer beeping]
Good. Turn off the air.
[Dino singing]
Sing it one more time.
-[Dino singing]
-[gentle music]
It ends
the same way it begins.
[both singing]
And it sounds exactly
the same backwards.
Well, maybe that's
what it means, go back.
Oh.
[both] The aliens
want their rock back.
Billie, you are brilliant.
We're brilliant, Dino.
And your mom too.
Hm?
Uh-oh. Dad, what's going on?
[Dino] Mr. Muller?
[tense music]
Mission Contro
l to Billie and Dino, come in.
Mission Control
to Billie and Dino, come in.
[computer beeping]
Radio contact is dead.
What's wrong? Huh?
Uh, no idea.
We'll get it back.
Margot, what's going on?
Margot?
[phone buzzing]
Margot?
Over to you, Boshley.
Tell me you didn't.
When you pick
the kids up in two days,
stage it like a hero's death,
and then you will bring
us the rock, quietly.
-[alarm sounding]
-[computer beeping]
Margot, please.
Why is the radio down?
That's not the problem.
For me, it is,
and Billie and Dino too.
[Carlitta] The life
support system is inactive.
What?
The oxygen at the ISS lasts
for a maximum
of six to eight hours.
We won't be able
to reach them in time.
Nonsense, the ISS has an
emergency backup supply of--
Alex!
-Come on, we gotta move fast.
-The system has been hacked.
What? Who?
Wasn't me.
-[alarm sounding]
-[computer beeping]
Hmm.
We're rotating,
but the rock isn't.
It keeps pointing
in the same direction,
almost like a compass needle.
And it's like the pull
keeps getting stronger.
Billie, I think I know
how to get the system
up and running.
Do you have your cell phone?
Yeah, but the battery's dead.
That's fine. Throw it here.
Hold it.
I know it looks
dangerous, I know,
but it's almost
all '90s technology.
No wonder the system crashed.
Billie has her cell phone.
[Scientist]
Not quite sure what to do.
Maybe we could try logging
into one of the
satellites near the ISS,
and extend its reception radius
just enough to get
her phone back online.
I can see three satellites
that are within range.
I'll need around 95 minutes
to take control of one of them.
Very good.
What are you going
to tell her, Alex?
In the Columbus module,
there's an oxygen converter.
It can extract oxygen
from any liquid,
from Space Cola,
from body sweat,
even from your own urine.
Yeah, that's true,
but it still won't
be enough to last.
Yes, but our first priority
is oxygen, step by step.
Okay, good idea.
Here are the details
of the rescue mission.
We've cut down
on security protocols.
If we transfer the tanks
from the other base,
we'll be able to launch
much, much earlier,
but not until 5:00 p.m.
tomorrow.
[sighs] That's too late.
That's way too late!
[dog barking]
Who's the man in charge?
Woman. [clears throat]
I wanna talk to my boy now.
We're working on it.
[Dino sighs]
[Ready?
Go!
[ship whirring]
It's working, yeah.
Our cell phones have
more processing power
than this entire
retro space station.
-[machines beeping]
-[fire crackling]
Oh.
[ship whooshes]
[sighs]
[gentle music]
[Dino sighs]
Today's just not our day, is it?
No, it's not,
and I'm getting cold.
Yeah, and the air's
getting thinner.
Billie?
Dino?
[Billie] This is Billie,
please leave a message.
It's her voicemail.
[phone beeps]
What should I say?
Dino, my angel.
It's your mama.
My darling,
whatever you're doing right now,
just do it the way
you always have,
okay, you hear me?
[gentle music]
You're the best son
I could have wished for.
You're stubborn,
you're very stubborn
and you always get your way.
But so what?
It's a good thing.
That day in the scrap press
when you fell in and you
made it out, you remember?
And this time you're not alone,
you have Sybil with you.
She really is a little scamp.
But she's smart
and she likes you.
I think you two,
I think you two make a
pretty great team actually.
So trust each other and make
decisions together, okay?
Your dad wants to speak to you.
He also has some
things to tell you,
okay, darling.
Goodbye.
[gentle music]
Dino, my boy,
when you come back,
I'll fire up the Ferrari grill,
and mom will make
you those long fries.
I love you, son.
Karacho and Karossa too.
Listen.
-[dog barking]
-[gentle music]
Billie?
Billie, sweetheart,
I'm not good at this.
I don't know
what to say now, uh, but...
but I know what your mom
would've done now.
To the stars
I wanna fly but
Mom had it right, my girl,
always and about everything.
And whatever you do,
do it the way you always do.
[phone beeps]
I love you, sweetheart.
[sighs]
[Billie]
What are you thinking about?
I'm wondering
where my parents are.
And?
I don't know.
Do you think
that your parents are mad?
Nope, they only get
mad about little things.
Something like this,
my mom gets weepy.
She gets sad.
She starts calling me her angel.
And my dad, he--
They get super
embarrassing. [sobs]
[gentle music]
What about your dad?
What do you think he'd say?
He, um, he never knows
what to say at times like these,
so he always just does
what mom would do.
Uh-huh.
[gentle music]
To the bright stars
I want to fly there
The gravity just doesn't want
To let me go
When we get home,
whatever the weather,
my dad will fire up
our Ferrari grill.
Ferrari grill?
It's got a deep
fryer for French fries.
It's the best ever.
[gentle music]
They-- They're not coming
to save us.
Are you scared?
Me too.
[gentle upbeat music]
-[rock thudding]
-[both gasping]
-The rock.
-The rock.
The ISS has rotated,
that's why it moved again.
It's heavier than before.
Or just stronger?
[rock whooshes and thuds]
Much stronger.
Where do you think it would go
if nothing was in its way?
-Back!
-Back!
Well, let's take it there.
[Dino] The rock
will show us the way.
Ooh, ha-ha-ha
[ship whooshes]
Bye, ISS!
[ship whooshes]
-No, wait, what?
-What are they doing?
What's going on now?
The capsule's left.
Are they coming home?
The capsule's on course
for quadrant 51B.
The Bermuda Triangle.
Bermuda Triangle?
The Bermuda Triangle
is a kind of artificial
black hole.
It's possible
it was created by aliens
or some other intelligence.
We don't know for sure.
Aliens?
When will they land
and where exactly?
We can't say that
exactly yet, I, uh.
-[computer beeping]
-[tense music playing]
Did we just fly
past a toilet bowl?
Looked like it.
[Billie chuckles]
It's crazy all the stuff
thrown away up here.
That would be worth a ton
if we could take it home.
Whoa.
What?
The debris
is floating away now.
Uh-oh.
Are we flying straight
into a black hole, Dino?
Remind me what
happens in a black hole.
Everything gets stretched
out like spaghetti and.
-[both screaming]
-[space time whooshing]
[Dino] Billie?
[Billie] Dino?
[Dino] I can't see you.
[Billie] I can't see myself.
I see the rock.
[Dino] Me too.
-It's gone.
-Hello?
Can anyone hear us?
Where are we?
[Alien] Hello, we can hear you
loud and clear.
Do you speak our language?
[Alien] No.
-You do.
-You are.
[Alien] We are at an interface
between time and space.
There is no matter here,
no passing of time.
There is no up or down.
But we can adopt the sounds
and the shapes
that have meaning for you.
Are you aliens?
[Alien] We are travelers.
We have come a very long way
with a mission to learn
more about your planet,
the Earth.
Cool.
What for?
[Alien] We received
a message indicating
that earthlings were interested
in meeting other
cosmic life forms,
and we liked the way
you made contact.
[upbeat jazz music]
With music?
[vocalist singing]
[Group] Music, music, music.
[Alien] But sadly, earthlings
are not a suitable
partner of civilization.
Why not?
[Alien] Because
you locked us up.
So the rock that we,
the one that brought us here.
[Alien]
One of us is all of us,
and all of us are as one.
That is why we couldn't leave.
We were no longer us, but now
we are again thanks to you.
Pleasure.
You're welcome.
[Alien] You humans are capable
of accomplishing truly
remarkable things,
things we did not find
anywhere else in the cosmos.
But then you throw
them away, why?
We don't want
to excuse ourselves
just because we're kids but, uh-
Some people believe
we all belong together,
but other people only
think of themselves
and behave like that too.
That's the difference
between us and you.
We would really
love to go back home.
Would we?
Of course!
[Alien] We need to
be honest with you.
If you continue this way,
your species
will cease to exist
in fewer than 100 Earth years.
That is why we have decided
to leave Earth's solar system
for the next
three million years.
But you two, you are special,
and we owe you a great
debt of gratitude.
If you like,
you can travel with us.
Um, thanks. That's very nice.
But, um, maybe another time.
[Alien] Hm?
Good choice, Dino.
Karacho and Karossa
are waiting for us.
[Alien] You are very different
from the other humans
we have observed.
-[chimes ringing]
-[gentle upbeat music]
Please accept this
small gift from us.
[upbeat music]
[rocks whooshing]
Okay.
Uh, how do we get out of here?
[Alien] We took the liberty
of repairing your spaceship,
so you can return home safely.
So I guess we just
jump in and fly off.
Okay.
[Billie sighs]
[Alex sighs]
[Wolfgang snoring]
[alarm beeping]
They're coming back.
People, they're coming back!
[alarm beeping]
Carlitta, action!
-What's happening?
-Everyone to your station.
-Come on.
-Come on, follow me.
[Scientist] Guys, come,
come, we need the data.
I need to know
the orbital velocity
and angle of entry right now.
What are the chances
of the capsule, uh...
Not burning up this time?
-[alarm beeping]
-[tense music]
How long until
they hit atmosphere?
They're coming in fast.
In eight, seven, six.
Oh no!
[dramatic music]
-[both screaming]
-[ship whooshing]
[gentle music]
[helicopters whirring]
[Billie groans]
[water splashing]
Oh. [sighs]
Is it over?
Mm-hmm.
[gentle music]
-[Dino grunts]
-[rock rattles]
Seriously?
-[Dino groans]
-[Billie groans]
[hatch hisses]
[helicopter whirring]
Are you good?
Mm-hmm.
[bright music playing]
[crowd cheering and applauding]
[Crowd Member] Yes!
[music continues to play]
[crowd cheering and applauding]
[crowd cheering and applauding]
Oh, welcome back! [laughs]
-You made it.
-Wow!
[Billie] Dad!
Dino!
[crowd cheering and applauding]
Be careful.
What?
Nothing.
You're just like her.
Like Mama?
You are much
lighter than she was.
Whoo-hoo!
Are you okay?
[Agent Silver sighs]
[Dino cheering]
Congratulations, you two.
You're both heroes, seriously.
Well done, really.
Before you take
your children home,
they have to come with us
for a moment.
Just a check up.
No big deal.
-It's okay, Dad.
-Yeah?
We want to change anyway,
right, Dino?
-Yep.
-Yeah!
[crowd applauding]
See you soon, Dad.
See you.
Make it quick, please.
We're very hungry.
[Agent Silver chuckles]
[Billie] Of course,
we knew immediately
who we were dealing with.
[Dino] With two guys
who will wring your neck
if you don't give them
what they want.
[Billie] Who will send
you to the dark side
of the Moon
if you mess with them.
[Dino] And whose fault it was
that the aliens
don't wanna come back
for another three million years.
[scanner whooshing]
[scanner beeping]
[Billie] The good
thing about these people
is that they underestimate kids.
[Dino] Always.
[gentle music]
[Billie] Which is why
it'll be their own fault
if they find themselves
on the dark side
of the Moon one day.
[gentle upbeat music]
Karossa, Karacho. [laughs]
Hello.
I missed you so much.
-[Billie laughing]
-[Dino giggling]
Adieu.
-[Dino laughing]
-[Billie laughing]
[gentle music]
[barbecue crackling]
Ah, I've been messy
since I was a kid.
[barbecue simmering]
Alex, another sausage?
Oh, I'd love to,
they were delicious,
but I'm so full,
I've got no space left.
Uh, I'll take another one,
my love bunny.
And I'll sing you
all a nice song.
[Silke sighs]
[gentle upbeat music]
It's weird that this rock
doesn't float,
and its weight is normal.
I think it's just a souvenir.
Of the aliens?
Hmm, of the aliens,
[gentle music]
of our journey into space,
[Dino laughs]
and of my mother.
Now I really do believe
she's up there.
[gentle music playing]
Of the music!
[both laughing]
And of the fact
that we're best friends.
[gentle upbeat music]
[Billie yawns]
Good night, Billie.
Good night, Dino.
[gentle upbeat music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
[upbeat music continues to play]
Jumping over fences
Picking up stones
I never walk alone
I never walk alone
Swim across the ocean
Look up in the sky
I never walk alone
I never walk alone
Lucky me, lucky me
Un, deux, trois
Lucky me, lucky me
Quatre, cinq, six
Lucky me, lucky me
Un, deux, trois
Lucky me, lucky me
Quatre, cinq, six
Un, deux, trois
Quatre, cinq, six
