Have You Heard?

1 [man exhales.]
[exhales.]
[exhales.]
[gasps.]
[inhales sharply.]
[groaning.]
[screams.]
[panting.]
[pop music playing over PA.]
- [waitress.]
What would you like? - [customer.]
Just today's special.
[waitress.]
The special.
Your coffee.
Yeah? A coffee.
A coffee? [pop music continues playing.]
Anything else? Anything else.
[panting.]
[swallows.]
[shudders.]
[cell phone ringing.]
[Marie.]
How are you doing? Okay, I think.
It's all just a bit much right now.
[chuckles.]
Yeah, I understand.
[Emma.]
I just don't know what the hell to do.
[Marie.]
I really think you should call the police.
Do you think they know? Like, is it in the news? [Marie.]
I checked my phone this morning, and there's nothing.
[Emma sniffles.]
Fucking hell, they'll ask me all sorts of questions.
[shouts.]
[shouts.]
I see him now.
[Marie.]
Thanks again.
Hi.
Hmm.
Hi.
[Tammy.]
Have you heard? - [Marie.]
What? - Anne's mom is pregnant.
Oh.
Okay.
But Anne's dad had a what's it called when they cut your dick? [Marie.]
A vasectomy? Yeah, exactly.
Hey, have you heard? Anne's mom is pregnant! She's 45.
Are you okay? - He's my next class.
Hans.
- Mm-hmm.
What's gonna happen? [sobbing.]
You'll be okay.
[Emma gasping.]
[chattering.]
- Good morning.
- [chattering continues.]
[teacher.]
Please settle down and find your seats now.
Thanks.
Hans has gone on leave, so you're stuck with me.
Listen to this.
[man's voice.]
Due to my sister's illness, I've gone on leave and turned off my phone.
I won't be checking my voice mail, but you can email me at the following address.
It doesn't make any sense.
What doesn't make sense? It's not him.
But no one else would record his voice mail.
[Emma sighs.]
His blood wasn't like ours either.
What? Well, how so? I-I don't know.
Transparent.
It was all sorts of colors.
You didn't bring some of this blood, did you? Uh, no.
You're sure this happened? Why would I lie about it? [Mads exhales.]
How about the other guy you saw? [Mads.]
Huh? What guy? Another person or whatever it was.
Okay, and how did he look? I couldn't see him.
So, you're saying that the man was invisible? Is that it? He wasn't invisible.
He moved really fast.
I couldn't really see him.
Yeah.
Did you talk to the really fast man? [scoffs.]
I'm gonna go.
- Nice job, guys.
Really nice.
- What? What? What? What's wrong? Listen, I have to go to the police.
He stabbed himself, and his blood it wasn't red.
[officer.]
Hmm? Listen, we had officers at the address 15 minutes after your call, and there was nothing to see.
Nothing was destroyed, and we even talked to Hans Madsen on the phone.
He wasn't the one you talked to.
- [officer.]
And you know that because - What about the basement? [officer.]
The basement? [Emma.]
There was a secret room.
[car alarm chirps.]
We're going in.
Hello! Anyone home? It's the police.
I don't get it.
[screams.]
[officer.]
There are no signs of a struggle now, are there? I was lying right there.
That door wasn't there before.
[officer.]
Is this the secret room? Yeah.
[Marie.]
Didn't you say there were fungi? [Emma.]
Yeah, there were.
So who cleaned it up? I don't fucking know.
The guy? [gasping.]
What's happening? What the fuck? [panting.]
[continues panting.]
[vehicle engine turns over.]
[Marie.]
Emma, what's wrong? Forget it.
[sniffles.]
I'm just crazy.
It wasn't real.
I just imagined it.
Leave me alone.
- But it happened.
- [sniffles.]
You were there.
You saw it.
Nobody could make it all disappear like that.
Apparently, somebody did though.
We need to find out.
Maybe I can talk to Susan.
What for? Do you think she did it? No, I don't think that.
But she knows something, right? She and Hans knew each other.
Wait a second.
Frederik gave this to me.
He saw them arguing, and then she threw it at him.
Maybe you can use it.
Thanks.
[Marie.]
Want me to come with you? No, I'll go alone.
[Susan.]
Emma.
Do you have an appointment? [whispers.]
Come on.
Come in here.
Where did you get that? Hans gave it to me.
Why are you here? How well do you know him? Hans and I are adults.
[Emma.]
I don't care about the affair.
Who else does he know? I can't do this.
Look, I just want I can't tell you anything about Hans.
He left me, okay? Now go.
Go.
[Frederik.]
What are you doing? I'm trying to figure out where Astraeus' secret room is.
- Why would they have a secret room? - They're hiding things.
Emma might claim that they've existed for a hundred years, but I can't find any past trace of them.
Then suddenly they're here.
They're watching us.
See here.
Astraeus is owned by a hedge fund, which on the surface, looks to be involved in all sorts of subsidiary companies that all have one thing in common.
Know what it is? Yeah, it's a no, I They all have their headquarters in an area that's had UFO sightings or rumors of extraterrestrial life.
Uh-huh.
And now they're here.
In Middelbo.
What are they doing here? [scoffs.]
Weren't you listening all the times I told you guys? What is it that all powerful people want? Power.
They want more power.
And what's more powerful than getting your hands on technology humanity could never dream of inventing ourselves? Is that a trick question? - No.
- No? Astraeus wants exactly the same thing as every other multinational corporation.
They want money.
 I don't want that.
I'll expose them.
Why don't you believe Emma? Why don't you investigate - Hans? - Yeah.
You mean this thing about Emma suddenly seeing an alien two seconds after becoming a part of this thing, which you believe in now.
You said it was a spaceship that crashed, right? And in a spaceship, there have to be aliens.
I've been watching forever.
You've been here, hanging out, chilling, whatever, but you didn't believe it until Emma came.
- There hasn't been any evidence until now.
- Emma doesn't have any proof either.
I've shown you it all.
I've shown you undeniable connections.
I've shown you materials that don't exist.
I've shown you a signal from outer space.
And then you believe an amateur who shows up and makes some big claim.
I want to believe Emma.
She just has to be concrete.
Until then, I can only work with things I'm sure of.
And that's why I need to figure this out, what's going on.
And that's why I'm searching for a secret room.
- [Frederik.]
Really? - [Mads.]
Yes, look.
My theory is that it's behind that one.
[Frederik.]
Right there? [Mads.]
Yeah, right there.
Look at the floor plan.
A huge part of the shipyard is just closed.
Okay.
[Mads.]
Makes a lot of sense.
More than what Emma is making up.
You're cute when you're jealous.
[boss.]
Hey! You don't have to clean in there.
I've been told I have to clean everywhere.
Mm-hmm, but I'm the boss, and I'm saying you don't.
What's in there anyway? We haven't opened that section yet.
Okay.
[Marie.]
It's ridiculous that you don't even listen to her.
[Mads.]
Why's that? [Marie.]
Because she experienced something so completely insane.
[Mads.]
But we don't know that.
This is my project.
I'm the one who makes the decisions, okay? She's just trying to make herself seem interesting.
Anything else? - I'd love to hear more about myself.
- I'm just telling it like it is.
[scoffs.]
You all got me involved.
And now, you don't believe me.
Uh, no, listen.
We're trying to figure out what hit Middelbo.
We never talked about an alien biology teacher.
That's not what I'm saying.
I'm telling you what I saw.
Could you have seen something that we just don't understand? We need something concrete.
We need something tangible.
[Emma sighs.]
- The car.
- What? There was a big silver van parked right outside his house.
I saw it today.
Maybe it belonged to the guy who fought Hans.
[Elvis.]
Did you get the license plate? AA 22 [sighs.]
4 I don't really remember.
Okay.
But there was an Avis logo on the car.
Perfect.
[clears throat.]
Yeah, hi.
I'm calling 'cause I rented a silver gray van from you, and and it's a bit embarrassing, but I can't remember where I parked it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Great.
Talk to you later.
134 Bøgevej.
- [Frederik.]
I can drive there.
- I'm coming.
[Frederik.]
Okay.
[Emma.]
It has to be here somewhere.
There it is.
- [Frederik.]
That one? Shit.
- Yeah.
He has to be nearby.
Let's see if he's checked in.
[audience cheering on TV.]
How much is a room? Hmm.
400.
Okay, can I see one? Yes, you can.
[sighs.]
[keys jangle.]
- You can follow me.
- Mm-hmm.
- [door opens.]
- [footsteps approach.]
[camera shutter clicks.]
This is so corny.
It's crazy.
- I mean, look at this.
- Exactly.
- Look at that.
And there's one more.
- It's the same.
- [Elvis.]
Who still has these? - [Mads.]
Who still has a newspaper holder? [Elvis chuckles.]
It's not just the same.
It's exactly the same.
How crazy.
[laughing.]
Here as well.
This is just insane.
[Marie.]
What's up? Found anything? Uh, nothing.
What's with you and Emma? Nothing.
Why are you blushing? I feel my neck burning.
- Have you found anything? - [chuckling.]
No, just that this entire house is decorated like that fucking House and Home magazine from 17 years ago.
And what does that mean? He has bad taste.
- Okay.
- [Elvis.]
You're leaving? - We're going back to his house.
- [Mads.]
Why? Because no normal person lives like that.
Come on.
We must have missed something.
- I'm coming too.
- [Mads.]
Okay.
So, you don't want it? Nope.
[exhales.]
Bye.
[man breathing.]
Check it out.
- [Emma.]
Are they the guests? - Yeah.
- It's neither of them.
- No? [Emma.]
He was masked, so it was hard to see, but I remember his eyes.
Wait, wait.
Go back a bit.
 Jens Jessen.
- [Frederik.]
Yeah.
- There's no photo.
What do we do? Now we wait.
[man breathing.]
[Mads.]
Can you see anything? [exhales.]
Aren't you the one who says everything leaves a trace? Yeah, so stay sharp and look around.
- That's so weird.
- What is? The magazine that I took yesterday is here again.
Okay, take anything you find with you.
Got it? What the hell? [Elvis.]
Damn it.
What's up? [sighs.]
The toilet won't flush.
Uh I couldn't hold it.
- A man died here.
- Well, we don't really know that.
Damn, you're stupid, man.
Nothing's here.
No.
So let's go.
Yeah.
Wait.
[Elvis.]
What? Take a look.
Is that mold? It looks like fungus.
[Marie.]
I don't think it is.
- [Elvis grunts.]
- [scrapes.]
[Marie.]
Emma mentioned fungi.
Don't touch it.
Find something to scrape it off with.
Yeah, it looks weird.
[camera shutter clicks.]
[Emma.]
Do you believe it? What Mads says about Astraeus and spaceships? I believe you.
- [Zannie.]
Seriously? - Oh, fuck.
Does [inhales.]
Jonas know you're with Frederik? No, but I know you've been sleeping with Jonas.
[sniffles.]
[Zannie.]
That was before you got together.
No, it actually wasn't.
[scoffs.]
I'm entitled to my opinion.
Look, Jonas and I broke up.
[Zannie.]
You still have to wait at least a week before you sleep with anyone else.
He made out with Noreen.
[Zannie.]
Just saying.
I thought you two were friends.
[chuckles.]
Fuck it.
Let's get a room.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.
- [Emma.]
Mm-hmm.
- Mm.
Seriously? [scoffs.]
[Emma.]
She can't tell me what to do.
Come on, Pussy Frede.
["Julian" by Deap Vally playing.]
- I'm so sorry, truly am - I'm so sorry But you caught me at the wrong time - I'm so sorry, truly am - I'm so sorry When are you free So I can say goodbye [exhales.]
- I'm so sorry, truly am - I'm so sorry We never Should have crossed that line [chuckles.]
- Why don't you call me back, Julian? - I'm so sorry So I can tell you Not to waste your time? This is no, a true romance We're not in love [sighs.]
- [Marie.]
See anything? - [Elvis tapping hammer.]
[Mads.]
There's something fluorescent, and the molecular composition looks different.
[Elvis taps.]
- [taps.]
- Can you stop? [sets down hammer, sighs.]
What are you doing? [Elvis.]
It's none of your business.
What do you want? - [Noreen.]
Can I borrow your card? - [Elvis.]
Aww, hell no.
Come on.
[Noreen.]
But mine's maxed out.
[Elvis.]
That's why you can't borrow my card.
[Noreen.]
I don't understand why Dad put a limit on mine.
- [Elvis.]
I don't want to deal with this.
- [Noreen.]
What the hell's wrong? [Elvis.]
Don't you understand the situation we're in? - [Noreen.]
What do you mean? - [Elvis.]
Noreen, why can't you understand? [Noreen.]
What do you mean? Understand what? [Elvis.]
Noreen, why can't you see what's going on? - [Noreen.]
Fuck you! - [Elvis.]
Don't curse at me! [Marie.]
Hi.
What was that about? My sister's a pain in the neck.
But your family are you okay? My dad's struggling right now.
And Noreen doesn't know about it? He says he'll fix it.
How will he? Something about the shipyard drawing in more people and creating jobs.
You don't believe him? No.
Why would we make money off of more employees? They they don't care about the meteor.
It's old news.
So, unless The meteor was a spaceship.
[chuckles.]
Am I dumb? No, you just want to help.
I don't think that's dumb.
What about you? You been with Emma? - No.
No.
- [laughs.]
I could tell.
I knew it.
No, what are you talking about? Wow.
How was it? Stop it.
 I don't wanna talk to you about it with you.
- You can tell me.
- No.
It's - I promise not to - Stop.
I don't wanna discuss it.
- But I didn't think that Emma was - I don't know what Emma is.
[panting.]
The car's still there.
[Frederik sighs.]
I'm gonna shower.
[Frederik.]
Yeah.
Keep an eye on it.
[Frederik.]
Yeah, I'll do that.
- [humming.]
- [water running.]
[Frederik.]
I'll go get us a drink.
You need to watch.
[Frederik.]
I'll be right back.
- [door closes.]
- But [door closes.]
[turns off water.]
Hello.
[engine turns over.]
What are you doing? Shouldn't you put more clothes on? It's very cold.
[panting.]
Hey, what's going on? They didn't have any cola.
What's up? Let's go.
It wasn't the same guy.
Come on, let's go.
Come on.
Let's use the app.
You know, the ones where you take a picture and it scans all sorts of plants.
Yeah, try it.
I don't have it.
[Mads.]
So download it.
I'll do that.
Marie, can you help me out? Yeah.
[Elvis.]
If you could just hold it up.
[Mads.]
Ah! Watch out.
[Marie.]
Can I take it? Awesome! - Oops.
- Careful.
Got it.
- [Elvis.]
Hold it up into the light.
- Light.
[Elvis.]
Okay, let's try.
[camera shutter clicks.]
[phone chimes, beeps.]
[chimes.]
"No plants found.
" One more time.
[camera shutter clicking.]
[phone beeps, chimes.]
- [Mads.]
What's it say? - "No plants found.
" [beeps, chimes.]
- Try again.
Yeah.
- [beeps, chimes.]
[camera shutter clicks.]
[beeps, chimes.]
- "No plants found.
" - You can't find it? - [Elvis.]
No, I can't.
- [Mads.]
No results? Nope.
I've tried ten different apps.
[chuckles.]
[sniffs.]
Know what that means? - [disco music playing.]
- Oh, yeah! [whooping.]
- [laughing.]
- [continues whooping.]
[laughs.]
[Elvis.]
Hey! Hey! [shouts.]
[laughing.]
[laughing and whooping continue.]
- [Elvis.]
Hey, hey! - [Emma.]
Hi.
- Hi.
Look what I have for you.
- [Emma chuckles.]
Thanks.
[Frederik.]
Why are we celebrating? - What happened? - I had a breakthrough.
- [Frederik.]
Yeah? - It was Emma's breakthrough.
- I found the goddamn plant.
- [Elvis.]
Whoo! [Emma.]
What plant? [Mads.]
We found a plant that doesn't exist.
Okay, it doesn't exist? As in exactly what I told you by the crater.
We don't know where it came from.
It's from another planet.
I've checked all the apps.
You're kidding me.
No, it's the truth.
You were right.
But it doesn't prove anything.
That there's some kind of plant you can't find on some app.
- A lot of apps.
- [Emma.]
It doesn't matter.
If Hans is dead, someone made him disappear.
I was there.
Imagine what they'll do to me.
[Mads.]
Astraeus.
[Emma.]
Astraeus what? [sighs.]
Astraeus could be the one behind his disappearance.
There's nothing in Astraeus, Mads.
Astraeus is very normal.
Someone's mad that she didn't find the plant.
No, I don't give a damn about the plant.
Hey, come on.
Hmm? Stop it.
[Marie.]
Emma, wait.
[Mads.]
Let her go.
What? [Marie.]
Don't leave us.
Why are you going? Because I'm scared, Marie.
[Marie.]
But why? You were afraid you were crazy, but you're not.
That's great.
No, it's not.
I saw it all.
Hans dying, the other guy doing I don't know what.
Hans wanted something from me.
He wanted to talk to me.
I didn't ask for this sci-fi shit.
I'm I just wanted to watch people with you.
You can't always choose what you get involved in.
[Emma.]
Yes, you can choose.
Mads is happy.
He feels so clever right now.
I'm not crazy.
Cool.
I just want everything to be normal.
Why can't this be normal? Because that's the last thing that this is.
It's okay, Marie.
It's just not right for me.
[foosball clacking.]
- What are you gonna do? - Dude, come on.
- Back off.
- You broke up.
[panting.]
[man.]
Who are you? [Emma gasps.]
What do you know about the organism? - I have no idea.
[shuddering.]
- Don't lie to me.
I'm not lying.
Why were you in the house? What did he tell you? What did he give you? He told me nothing.
He gave me nothing.
Seriously.
- [gasps.]
- You're lucky he didn't kill you.
- Why would he kill me? - Because that's what they do.
They destroy.
They manipulate.
 They take everything.
Parasites.
What is it? The organism is trying to kill you.
They want to take over your planet, like they tried to take over mine.
I'm here to stop them.
I need to know how many there are, where they're hiding.
You'd better stay away from me.
Stop.
Will you drive me home? What's your name? Lukas.
Okay, so you have a normal name.
You drive a car, and and now you have that suit on.
[exhales.]
What's wrong with it? Are you sure he didn't give you anything in the basement? [Susan.]
What happened to him? [Adrian.]
Somebody found out what he was.
We'll bring him with us when we leave.
[Susan gasping.]
[Adrian.]
He's a part of us now.
[gasping.]
[buzzing.]
[continues gasping.]
- [sniffles.]
- [radio interference crackling.]
[sobbing.]
[gasping.]
[crackling.]
[crackling.]
[panting.]
