[NOAH.]
The beginning is the end.
And the end is the beginning.
Everything is connected.
The future, the past and the present.
I couldn't tell her who her mother was.
Just as I can't tell you what your provision is.
And what I have to do today.
I have thought about this moment for many years.
My older self wanted to tell me something.
But he couldn't.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
If you knew what I know now, you wouldn't do what you must, which enables me to get to this moment.
I can't exist in the here and now if you don't go exactly the same way that I did.
We're never free in what we do, because our will isn't free either.
Everything is prepared.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
You must go now.

My future self tried to shut the hole.
To reverse it all.
The passage was closed, but the cycle wasn't broken.
But you said that we could change one factor of the equation so that he So I'd be successful the next time.
Then none of this sick shit will ever happen.
Mikkel won't vanish.
Michael won't hang himself.
Your father won't die.
[QUIET, TENSE MUSIC.]
The big things and the little things don't follow the same rules.
We won't be able to change the grand scheme of things but the details.
We change a grain of sand, and with that, the whole world.
[THREATENING MUSIC.]
[BARTOSZ.]
What was Grandma like? I mean, as a mother.
Why would that suddenly be so interesting? She isn't dead, you know? Meaning what? She was here.
Last fall.
After Mikkel disappeared.
She She left this for you.
Here.
She said that she was sorry.
And that if she could turn back time she'd change the way things happened.
[CRIES SOFTLY.]
I'll come back.
I promise.
Where are you going now? [QUIET, DISMAL MUSIC.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Do you know what this is? It's a search warrant for the nuclear plant.
The plant has special conditions.
[CLAUSEN.]
The judge issued the warrant immediately.
I believe, given the situation, he may be interested in what there is to find there.
Because of the investigation against you.
Warrant I might not be able to prove that my brother was murdered, but I will get you for what's happening here.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
You must get me out.
There's no way.
This is happening.
You cannot let him onto the site! Maybe it's better this way.
Maybe it's good if everything's out in the open.

- [DOORBELL RINGING.]
- [KNOCKING.]
- [MONOTONOUS RINGING.]
Martha, I didn't want any of this.
Please believe me.
- But listen to me now.
- What are you doing here? Come in.
Why are you here? What do you want? You have to come with me, please.
- It's my fault everyone here is doomed.
- What? Everything here will explode in a few hours.
Everything will start over again.
The future will start, a new cycle.
What are you saying? Believe me, please.
You just have to trust me.
[MARTHA GASPS, BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[SOFTLY.]
This isn't right.
We aren't right.
Please leave.
No.
- I can't let you go this time.
- You're hurting me.
I saw you die once.
I won't let that happen again.
- Let me go.
- I can't do that.
I promised you I'd make it right.
And I will.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC.]
Six hours to the Apocalypse Where's the machine? Where is the damn machine? My mother has it.
That's not right.
That's not how it should happen.
This is all my fault.
Why didn't he tell me what to do? Why did he tell me all this? He tells me how it works, then he doesn't tell me what to do? It could be you did exactly what he wanted you to.
To show us how it works.
That could've been your only job.
Fuck.
Fuck.
- [MAGNUS.]
Where are you going? - To find the fucking machine! [KATHARINA.]
Hello? [TENSE MUSIC.]
Jonas? Jonas? [MYSTERIOUS MUSIC.]
Follow the signal What is this? [JONAS.]
The passage.
- We are reopening it.
- But you said you wanted to shut it.
In the future.
Or the past, your future.
It took me a long time to accept that I had to help start the disaster I wanted to avert.
- How do you know all this? - The past 12 months.
You taught me everything, about the future and the past.
Everything that has happened.
Everything that will happen.
There are two parties.
Adam and Sic Mundus want a new world.
You and I want to save this one.
Who is Adam? [TICKING.]
[DISMAL MUSIC.]
[METAL DOOR CREAKS.]
- What is this? - This is the only area that's safe.
Please don't, Martha.
Please.
Why are you doing this? Because I know what will happen today.
About Mikkel Did you mean it? [SAD MUSIC.]
That means I didn't want any of this, Martha.
You kept me alive.
I'm still here 'cause of you.
Jonas will come back.
Everything will happen as it always has.
But I can't stop hoping that I can still change things.
I have to try.
Jonas comes back.
Promise me you won't leave this bunker for anything.
No matter what.
I'm so sorry.
[DOOR LOCKS.]
Police Missing [DOOR OPENS.]
Charlotte.
I thought you were still sick.
- Is Clausen here? - No.
Clausen had Aleksander arrested and got a search warrant for the plant.
He's on his way there.
Charlotte.
I have something to tell you.
At the nuclear facility Aleksander buried something in the concrete.
Radioactive waste.
And I helped him.
I'm sorry.
That's the cause.
- What? - It's all connected.
He said it has to do with something in that facility.
- Jonas knew that.
- Jonas was found? No, he traveled here from the future.
We have to go! WÃller! Come on! For Charlotte [PETER.]
Damn it, Charlotte, where are you? Is Franziska with you? Call me when you get this.
[QUIET, DISMAL MUSIC.]
We are leaving.
To go where? I don't think I'm certain what to believe.
But he said only those in the the bunker will survive.
What about Mom and Franziska? It will all be okay.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC.]
Four hours until the Apocalypse [PLANT WORKER.]
I don't quite understand what you're hoping for.
The site is huge and tomorrow there's the controlled shut down.
My mother always said just because a task is daunting doesn't mean you can't deal with it.
What's behind this door? The, um the cooking bank of the old reactor.
It hasn't been used since the '90s.
I'm going to have a look.
You can't open the door to have a look.
Radiation.
And, honestly, I don't think you'd find anything in there anyway.

Katharina.
How do you work this machine? [JONAS.]
Where did you get it? How can Mikkel come back home? Even if I told you, it can't happen.
You don't want him to come back.
Then you wouldn't even have been born.
I wish it was that simple.
But things in the past just can't be changed.
Mikkel can't come back because I already exist.
Mikkel belongs here.
You don't.
You shouldn't exist at all.
Yeah.
I'd give my life for his if I only could.
But I can't, damn it! Because my future already exists.
Just like you won't be able to bring Mikkel back.
So why did you decide to come? Well, I thought I could prevent the origin.
It's beyond our control.
Adam is the endpoint.
I might not be able to prevent myself from becoming what he is.
But what's become of me, I can stop.
I know that I've been lied to.
You never saved anyone.
None of them.
We can't escape our fate, none of us.
Neither you nor I.
You're not waging war against God.
You're waging it against humankind.
[THREATENING MUSIC.]
Here are the last pages.
You used me.
Had me do what you wanted.
But now I know what I have to do.
Claudia was right.
You still don't understand how this game is played.
What are you waiting for? [GUN CLICKS.]
It's time who plays this game with us.
You think it's your destiny to kill me, but that's not your fate, just as it isn't mine to die here and now.
Only when we've freed ourselves of emotion can we be truly free.
[GUN CLICKS.]
Only when you're willing to sacrifice what you hold dearest.
Charlotte is your daughter.
She is Elisabeth's daughter and her mother.
There is no man without guilt.
None of them have earned a place in your paradise.
[DOOR OPENS.]
[QUIET, THREATENING MUSIC.]
[NOAH.]
Agnes.
[ADAM.]
This knot can only be undone by destroying it completely.
We cannot escape our fate.

[TIRES SQUEAL.]
[ATMOSPHERIC SINGING GROWS LOUDER.]
What is that? It's Jonas.
He's reopened the passage.
It's that thing that Mikkel went through? Yes.
[ATMOSPHERIC SINGING CONTINUES.]

Martha.
Is everything all right? Who locked you in here? Martha, wait, wait, wait! You can't go out there! Martha! - [FOOTSTEPS ASCENDING STAIRS.]

[SINGING FADES.]
- [MAGNUS.]
What was that? - Fuck.
It was the same noise.
Like the cave.
[BARTOSZ.]
Fuck.
You got the device? It's not up there now.
And Mom's gone too.
Martha as well.
[BARTOSZ.]
Do you think she's with him? With Jonas? Noah was right.
He was right about everything.
I'm telling you guys, Jonas is the reason for this shit.
[CLAUDIA.]
Where are we going? Bring the machine to the bunker, near Helge's cabin.
You don't have much time.
And you? I have my mother to find.
And Martha.
Jonas! Two hours until the Apocalypse [MAGNUS.]
Hey, Martha, call me back.
They're both not answering.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES.]
My father.
He's with Elisabeth in the bunker.
- He wants me to go there.
- To the bunker? [BARTOSZ.]
Shit.
Something's going on.
I'm going.
If they're not home in half an hour we'll go join your dad.
Where are Mom and Franziska? I have no idea.
[WÃLLER.]
So this Noah guy says he's your father and he's from the future or, no, the past.
And he says the apocalypse starts in Winden today? And you think this is all connected to the containers in there? [MYSTERIOUS MUSIC.]
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT.]
- [CLAUSEN.]
What is that? - The cooling pool of the old reactor.
Apparently it's been sealed off and become part of the greenfield.
When? That, um I don't exactly know, but that's nothing unusual.
Sealing off the old reactor is a It's the start of the dismantling.
I want you to break it open.
Really? Yes.
[REGINA.]
You can't keep him another night.
He hasn't done anything.
This is all nonsense.
When can Aleksander be visited? I understand.
Regina.
[THREATENING MUSIC.]
Please don't be scared.
It really is me.
I am so sorry.
I didn't mean to just leave like that.
I'll explain.
But now you have to come with me.
- Regina.
- [CRYING SOFTLY.]
I'm so sorry.
[SOBBING.]
[TICKING.]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
Noah.
You look different now.
You know, I mean, since last time.
He sent you, didn't he? Adam.
I've always wondered when you turn into him.
I won't.
I will never do the things he did.
He said you'd say that kind of thing.
He also said we'd be friends.
Before I'm betrayed.
Why do you follow him? What made you follow her? Claudia.
We both want to believe.
We fasten ourselves to the salvation that's promised.
If you kill him you kill all hope of salvation.
He is the savior.
You'll be the savior.
[DISMAL MUSIC.]
What is that? Read it.
It's from Martha.
[QUIETLY.]
This can't be real.
You must save her.
Bartosz, Magnus and Franziska.
And later, me and Agnes.
This circuit has to be finished for the next cycle to begin.
Just as the prophecy foretells.
And so that Martha can live.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
No, this isn't right.
Martha.

[TINNY BEATS, DISMAL MUSIC.]
[DARK, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Follow the signal [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Your colleague's in the old reactor.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC FADES.]
Mom? Jonas? You're back.
You're really back.
I was looking for you.
- I'm here to tell you - I know it all.
When we were standing in the rain, I know why you said that.
Mikkel I know everything.
At the lake, that was you.
You and I are perfect for each other.
Never believe anything else.
[SOFT MUSIC.]
[ADAM.]
And so the circle is closed.
[MARTHA.]
Jonas, who is that? Tell her who I am.
I told you all the game's pieces are in position already.
All that's needed is a little push.
You keep lying! You wanted it all the exact same way.
You're the trigger! The trigger is in us all.
Each and every one of us.
Why do you want this? Why do you want the awful future repeated? What is created today will begin the end.
The dark matter must be created so that I can lead it to its destiny in the future.
The end of this world.
And I am the trigger, just not for what you think.
I am the trigger for only what will make you what I am today.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
- [GUNSHOT.]
- [GASPS.]
[MARTHA GASPING.]
[JONAS.]
You'll be all right.
You'll be all right.
You'll be all right.
Some pain you can't forget.
[JONAS WEEPS.]
Mar - You'll carry this pain all your life.
- Look at me! Look at me! Until you are finally ready to let go.
Of her.
You can stop me.
Or you can try to save her.
You'll know what you have to do.
Please don't leave.
Martha.
Please.
[CRYING SOFTLY.]
Please don't go.
[MUFFLED DRONING.]
[PEACEFUL PIANO MUSIC.]
[CHARLOTTE.]
Don't open that! Stop.
Don't open that! This is a hazard.
No, Mrs.
Doppler.
This is our elephant.
You have no idea what this all really is.
- What is all this, then? - It's not about the missing people.
This is about the future, how it's connected, connected to all of our pasts.
- Open it.
- No! - Open it! - Please don't.
No! It's a mistake.
["MY BODY IS A CAGE" BY PETER GABRIEL PLAYS.]

Magnus, open up! - Magnus! Open up! - [DOORBELL RINGS.]
Fast! Magnus! [MAGNUS.]
What the hell? Who are you? Hey! [BARTOSZ.]
That's him.
It's you.
You are Jonas.
- This is all your fault.
- Yeah, it's my fault.
I know.
- But I'm here to save you all.
- From what? - From the apocalypse.
- [MAGNUS.]
Apocalypse? [BARTOSZ.]
What about Martha? I said what about Martha? That keeps me from dancing with the one I love - [ELECTRONIC BUBBLING.]
- [BANGING.]
My mind holds the key [BUZZING.]
My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key I'm standing on a stage Of fear and self-doubt It's a hollow play But they'll clap anyway My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love For Charlotte My mind holds the key My mind holds the key [DOOR OPENS.]
My mind holds the key I'm living in an age That calls darkness light Though my language is dead Still the shapes fill my head I'm living in an age Whose name I don't know Though the fear keeps me moving Still my heart beats so slow My body is a Is a Is a Is a Is a Is a [CRACKLING DRONE.]

[WHIZZING, WHIRRING AND CLINKING.]
[GASPS.]
[THREATENING MUSIC.]
I'm not who you think I am.
[WHIRRING, CLINKING.]
Wait.
Martha, this isn't possible.
- I don't understand - We don't have time now.
Later I'll explain, but you have to come with me.

[ATMOSPHERIC SINGING GROWS LOUDER.]
What is that? It's Jonas.
He's reopened the passage.
It's that thing that Mikkel went through? Yes.
[ATMOSPHERIC SINGING CONTINUES.]

Martha.
Is everything all right? Who locked you in here? Martha, wait, wait, wait! You can't go out there! Martha! - [FOOTSTEPS ASCENDING STAIRS.]

- [MAGNUS.]
What was that? - Fuck.
It was the same noise.
Like the cave.
[BARTOSZ.]
Fuck.
You got the device? It's not up there now.
And Mom's gone too.
Martha as well.
[BARTOSZ.]
Do you think she's with him? With Jonas? Noah was right.
He was right about everything.
I'm telling you guys, Jonas is the reason for this shit.
[CLAUDIA.]
Where are we going? Bring the machine to the bunker, near Helge's cabin.
You don't have much time.
And you? I have my mother to find.
And Martha.
Jonas! Two hours until the Apocalypse [MAGNUS.]
Hey, Martha, call me back.
They're both not answering.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES.]
My father.
He's with Elisabeth in the bunker.
- He wants me to go there.
- To the bunker? [BARTOSZ.]
Shit.
Something's going on.
I'm going.
If they're not home in half an hour we'll go join your dad.
Where are Mom and Franziska? I have no idea.
[WÃLLER.]
So this Noah guy says he's your father and he's from the future or, no, the past.
And he says the apocalypse starts in Winden today? And you think this is all connected to the containers in there? [MYSTERIOUS MUSIC.]
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT.]
- [CLAUSEN.]
What is that? - The cooling pool of the old reactor.
Apparently it's been sealed off and become part of the greenfield.
When? That, um I don't exactly know, but that's nothing unusual.
Sealing off the old reactor is a It's the start of the dismantling.
I want you to break it open.
Really? Yes.
[REGINA.]
You can't keep him another night.
He hasn't done anything.
This is all nonsense.
When can Aleksander be visited? I understand.
Regina.
[THREATENING MUSIC.]
Please don't be scared.
It really is me.
I am so sorry.
I didn't mean to just leave like that.
I'll explain.
But now you have to come with me.
- Regina.
- [CRYING SOFTLY.]
I'm so sorry.
[SOBBING.]
[TICKING.]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
Noah.
You look different now.
You know, I mean, since last time.
He sent you, didn't he? Adam.
I've always wondered when you turn into him.
I won't.
I will never do the things he did.
He said you'd say that kind of thing.
He also said we'd be friends.
Before I'm betrayed.
Why do you follow him? What made you follow her? Claudia.
We both want to believe.
We fasten ourselves to the salvation that's promised.
If you kill him you kill all hope of salvation.
He is the savior.
You'll be the savior.
[DISMAL MUSIC.]
What is that? Read it.
It's from Martha.
[QUIETLY.]
This can't be real.
You must save her.
Bartosz, Magnus and Franziska.
And later, me and Agnes.
This circuit has to be finished for the next cycle to begin.
Just as the prophecy foretells.
And so that Martha can live.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
No, this isn't right.
Martha.

[DARK, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Follow the signal [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Your colleague's in the old reactor.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC FADES.]
Mom? Jonas? You're back.
You're really back.
I was looking for you.
- I'm here to tell you - I know it all.
When we were standing in the rain, I know why you said that.
Mikkel I know everything.
At the lake, that was you.
You and I are perfect for each other.
Never believe anything else.
[SOFT MUSIC.]
[ADAM.]
And so the circle is closed.
[MARTHA.]
Jonas, who is that? Tell her who I am.
I told you all the game's pieces are in position already.
All that's needed is a little push.
You keep lying! You wanted it all the exact same way.
You're the trigger! The trigger is in us all.
Each and every one of us.
Why do you want this? Why do you want the awful future repeated? What is created today will begin the end.
The dark matter must be created so that I can lead it to its destiny in the future.
The end of this world.
And I am the trigger, just not for what you think.
I am the trigger for only what will make you what I am today.

[MARTHA GASPING.]
[JONAS.]
You'll be all right.
You'll be all right.
You'll be all right.
Some pain you can't forget.
[JONAS WEEPS.]
Mar - You'll carry this pain all your life.
- Look at me! Look at me! Until you are finally ready to let go.
Of her.
You can stop me.
Or you can try to save her.
You'll know what you have to do.
Please don't leave.
Martha.
Please.
[CRYING SOFTLY.]
Please don't go.
[MUFFLED DRONING.]
[PEACEFUL PIANO MUSIC.]
[CHARLOTTE.]
Don't open that! Stop.
Don't open that! This is a hazard.
No, Mrs.
Doppler.
This is our elephant.
You have no idea what this all really is.
- What is all this, then? - It's not about the missing people.
This is about the future, how it's connected, connected to all of our pasts.
- Open it.
- No! - Open it! - Please don't.
No! It's a mistake.

Magnus, open up! - Magnus! Open up! - [DOORBELL RINGS.]
Fast! Magnus! [MAGNUS.]
What the hell? Who are you? Hey! [BARTOSZ.]
That's him.
It's you.
You are Jonas.
- This is all your fault.
- Yeah, it's my fault.
I know.
- But I'm here to save you all.
- From what? - From the apocalypse.
- [MAGNUS.]
Apocalypse? [BARTOSZ.]
What about Martha? I said what about Martha? That keeps me from dancing with the one I love - [ELECTRONIC BUBBLING.]
- [BANGING.]
My mind holds the key [BUZZING.]
My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key I'm standing on a stage Of fear and self-doubt It's a hollow play But they'll clap anyway My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love For Charlotte My mind holds the key My mind holds the key [DOOR OPENS.]
My mind holds the key I'm living in an age That calls darkness light Though my language is dead Still the shapes fill my head I'm living in an age Whose name I don't know Though the fear keeps me moving Still my heart beats so slow My body is a Is a Is a Is a Is a Is a [CRACKLING DRONE.]
[WHIRRING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Mom.
My body is a cage [WHISPERING.]
Elisabeth.
We take what we're given Just because you've forgotten Doesn't mean you're forgiven [BOOMING RUSTLING.]
You're standing next to me It's beginning.
My mind holds the key Where are we going? Set my body free My body is a cage Your body is a cage Cage! [WHIRRING.]

[THREATENING MUSIC.]

[WHIRRING, CLINKING.]
Wait.
Martha, this isn't possible.
- I don't understand - We don't have time now.
Later I'll explain, but you have to come with me.

What time did you come from? The question isn't what time, the question is what world.
