1 [train rolling.]
Who were you before? [woman.]
No one.
- You don't know? - [woman.]
No.
Everyone has a past.
[woman.]
Not me.
I don't need to know.
This is who you are now.
Lykke Sundby.
[baby cries.]
Lykke Sundby.
I like that.
No matter who you were before, this is who you are now.
And the child? This is Emma.
- Is she yours? - Of course she's mine.
Are you both alone? I thought you didn't have to know anything.
Thanks.
[rings.]
- You called Emma.
Please leave a message.
- [beeps.]
Hey.
Where are you? Sorry about yesterday.
Can we talk later? Bye.
Bye.
Kisses.
[Emma.]
It was my teacher's.
Hans.
He pushed it into my neck.
Why do you think he chose me? Maybe it was random.
Then I was just an envelope.
They're trying to hide this ball from me, because it leads to their spaceship.
[Emma.]
It reacted to the sphere at the old sawmill.
- Let's go there.
- I just ran away from them.
[Lukas.]
I need you to show me where it is.
[Emma.]
Why are they here? Why? [Emma.]
Yeah, why did they choose Earth? Because they think they can hide here.
Because you look alike.
You and I look alike.
[Lukas sighs.]
No, we don't.
I look like me.
[Emma laughs.]
[exhales.]
It was here.
It's them.
It's their spaceship.
They've moved it.
He was here.
My teacher.
- He was - Absorbed.
Yeah, or he dissolved.
I don't know.
[sighs.]
[Lukas.]
The ball is no longer connected.
It's worthless.
- [cracks.]
- [chimes.]
Come.
How will we find them? I don't know.
Who knows then? - This is your problem.
- Mine? - They left because of you.
- I don't know what to do.
- You should have come to me.
- I don't really know who you are.
I told you That you're chasing some intergalactic terror organism out to annex Earth.
Yeah, right.
I'm sorry if I didn't take that in right away.
I'm being sarcastic.
Is that not a thing where you come from? I have to find them.
I have to know how many of them there are and where they are, and I have to stop them.
Otherwise we all die, right? Yeah.
Why were you at your teacher's house? He was on a list of the people who were there the night they came.
A list of those who came? Yeah, or not just that.
Uh, all sorts of people, I think.
It's on an external hard drive.
Mads guards it with his life.
Give me that list.
I can't.
We're not friends.
[Mads and Elvis chattering.]
- [Mads.]
Yeah.
- [Elvis.]
Mm-hmm.
[Emma.]
Hey.
Hey, I thought you left.
Yeah.
That really wasn't cool of me.
I didn't mean what I said.
I just wanna say that I respect that you found all those materials.
You're really brilliant.
Maybe I was just a little scared after I was abandoned out there with those violent psychopaths at the sawmill.
So I'm sorry.
I know this is your project.
Do you want these? Of course we want them.
Okay.
Then strawberry? Ah, thanks for these.
I also wanted to ask if I could see those pictures with Jonas and Sally again.
- [chuckles.]
- [Mads.]
Oh, so that's the reason.
- No, that's not it.
- I know.
No, it's fine.
I just wanna yeah.
[Mads sniffles.]
[types.]
- What an idiot.
Oh, no.
Shit! - Ah! - [Emma.]
Sorry.
- Goddamn it! I'm really sorry.
I got this, Emma.
- I'll fix it.
We'll fix it.
- [Mads huffs.]
- [Elvis.]
Come here.
 Let me see.
- [Mads.]
Stay away, Elvis.
Fuck off! - [Elvis.]
Man, just relax.
- [Mads.]
You're making everything worse.
[Elvis.]
No, I'm not.
 You're just stubborn.
- [Mads.]
You are annoying as hell.
- [Elvis.]
Aw, just shut up.
- [Mads.]
Stop groping my crotch! - [Elvis.]
Relax, man.
- I can fucking do it myself, Elvis.
- [Elvis.]
Stop moving around.
- Fuck off! - [Elvis.]
I'm just trying to help.
[Mads.]
You're not helping anything.
- [Elvis.]
Relax, sit still.
- [Mads.]
Go help someone else.
- [Elvis.]
Hand me that shirt.
- [Mads.]
I don't need it.
[Elvis and Mads continue arguing.]
[gasps.]
- Hi.
- [Emma.]
Hi.
Uh, I'm I'm really sorry about yesterday.
[Marie.]
But you lied.
I didn't.
Yes, you did.
You led me to believe that we had something.
We did have, right? Please Can you just be honest with me? I can't tell you how to feel, but I just don't wanna be lied to.
Can we start over? Yeah.
Hey, what's up? Are you back? No.
Fuck.
Fuck! She's took the hard drive.
[Lukas.]
What am I looking for? [Emma.]
You tell me.
You're the one looking.
How can you live here? I don't.
I'm just here.
I can't figure this out.
[chuckles.]
It's just a computer.
Are you from outer space or something? It's a joke.
Give it to me.
Um okay, there are two folders.
Let's try south.
That guy.
He was at the sawmill.
[Lukas.]
I know him.
He's from back home.
Where is he? [Emma.]
There's an address.
Let's go.
Coming.
Where'd you get that? [Lukas.]
Found it.
- [Emma.]
Found it? - Yeah, it was just there.
- [Emma.]
So you're driving a stolen car? - There was no one in it.
[Emma chuckles.]
That's not how the rules work at all.
You never told me how you're just able to drive.
[Lukas.]
I learned how to.
My instructor says I can't tell left from right.
You focus a lot on directions.
Right, left, north, south.
How do you get around? It's easy.
We always know where we are.
Okay, how very New Age.
We're just lost all the time.
[chuckles.]
- Are you sure Emma gave it to them? - Yeah, hundred percent.
Guys, listen to me! I wanna talk to your boss.
I need to speak with him.
Now! I know what you're up to.
Hello! Go fucking call him! [Thomas.]
What do you want us to do? I want you to give me back my hard drive.
Did anybody take this boy's hard drive? Emma took it.
Emma? Give it back, okay? I know who you are.
You call yourself Astraeus, but it's a cover.
You investigate extraterrestrial life.
I don't know what you mean.
- That's not the only thing.
- [Thomas.]
It's not? I think you can't figure out where the intergalactic signal actually came from.
I think you're confused because another one hasn't come.
I think you found something about the meteor strike in Middelbo that puzzled you.
For example, that there were traces of recoil sediments in the crater that would never be there unless the object was breaking its own fall.
Is that all? I think that everything you're hiding, including my hard drive, is behind that door.
They're welding.
I don't know what you expected to find, but whatever it is, it isn't here.
It's not hard to draw a line between two points and think there's a connection.
But that doesn't mean there is one.
Get back to work.
["Coffee" by beabadoobee playing.]
Don't stay awake for too long Don't go to bed I'll make a cup of coffee For your head I'll get you up and going out of bed And I promise That one day I'll feel fine And I promise That one day I'll feel all right And I'll make a cup of coffee With the right amount of sugar How you like it How you like it [woman.]
Yeah? - [Emma.]
Hi.
- Hi.
We're looking for a man.
This guy.
Hmm.
Yeah, he might live here.
When did you last see him? [woman.]
I don't remember.
Has he ever had visitors? Who are you? He's my dad.
[woman.]
Your father? Yeah.
I haven't seen him in a year.
He, um he hasn't been well.
I wanna see him again.
Yeah, okay.
If you go over there and turn left along the small houses, he lives in the camper.
Okay, thanks a lot.
[Lukas.]
Why did you say he was you dad? I had to say something.
- Yes, but it's a lie.
- Yeah.
Why couldn't she tell you were lying? I'm good at pretending.
I could tell.
- You could tell I was lying? - Yeah.
Don't you lie where you're from? - No.
- Okay.
Boring.
Hey, right there.
It's locked.
That doesn't usually stop you.
What are you doing? [Emma.]
Uh We've been trying to get in.
We're looking for someone.
You can't just break in.
No.
- [clears throat.]
But, um - It's my dad's.
Your dad? I haven't seen him in a year.
[man huffs.]
[clears throat.]
I don't remember when I spoke to him last.
He hasn't paid in two months.
You can go in and take his crap.
Otherwise, it'll be thrown out.
[Emma.]
Okay, thanks.
[man.]
Hey! [clattering.]
[Emma.]
Take everything that could be his.
Hey, don't you think you should just relax for a second? What for? It's over.
It doesn't have to be over.
There's no point.
Astraeus is actually building ships.
I was wrong, okay? That's it.
What about the people we were watching? And the lists? And the signal? None of that matters.
While we've been sitting here, Emma has been figuring out all the things I was supposed to figure out.
I was the She took my hard drive, man.
She took my research.
You can't just let her take that from you, Mads.
She screwed us over.
She won.
We lost.
 I thought I knew everything.
I don't know shit, okay? Get out! We're not leaving.
We can still hang out here.
I don't need you to drive me anywhere right now, do I, Frederik? No, okay.
Really nice.
[Marie.]
What are you doing? They're the only friends you have.
Shut up! Shut up, Marie.
- [Marie.]
I'm just trying to say that - Fuck off! Just go away, go! [Marie scoffs.]
Okay.
Don't ever talk like that to me.
- [dance music playing over PA.]
- [gulping.]
Ah, ah! Give it to me, baby [exhales.]
What's that? The things I found there.
Looks like a prescription.
What's it for? [Emma.]
I'm not sure.
It's some kind of lead, I guess.
Your dad [laughs.]
You might wanna practice your lying skills.
[laughs.]
Well, it worked.
[chuckling.]
No.
No, it didn't.
What do you do on your planet? What do you mean? You don't lie.
No directions.
What's it like? It's where I'm from.
It's where I belong.
It's my home.
But they took it from you.
I can't imagine how that must feel.
Lukas, I'm trying [waitress.]
Here's your food.
What's that? Battered fish.
Mmm! [chuckles.]
You eat it with your fingers.
No, uh, uh, uh, hold it with your fingers, eat it with your mouth.
Well [laughs.]
Mmm.
Mmm? [Lukas.]
What's the point? Of what? Of wrapping food in food? It's to disguise the fish.
You dip it in the wishing well.
[chuckles.]
[inhales.]
If you don't like something, why do you eat it? Because when it's been fried, you like it again.
I don't understand you.
Yet, you want to save us.
That's right.
[Emma.]
It's him.
[Lukas.]
Wait here.
[Marie.]
Hi.
Hi.
What are you doing? [Emma.]
Uh, I'm not doing anything.
You're not with anyone or? No.
[grunting.]
[grunts.]
I just wanted something to eat.
[grunting.]
[panting.]
[grunts.]
[kicks.]
[shouts.]
Okay, I'll go get a soda.
Yep.
[chuckles.]
[Marie.]
Okay.
[gasps.]
[shudders.]
[exhales.]
Lukas? [gasps.]
- [gasps, grunts.]
- [gasps.]
[coughs.]
[groaning.]
[grunting.]
[panting.]
[grunts.]
[groans.]
- [Marie.]
See ya.
- [waitress.]
Bye.
Emma.
E What the hell are we gonna do? He's in the trunk.
It doesn't matter.
What do you mean? [shudders.]
[gags.]
Fuck, that's gross.
He'll vanish soon.
[panting.]
He'll vanish? What then? He'll decompose.
[grunting.]
[Emma.]
Let's get out of here.
[both panting.]
[Lukas inhales sharply.]
[groaning.]
[Emma.]
It's in here.
[Lukas grunts.]
[exhales.]
[exhales.]
[groaning.]
[grunts.]
Press this against it.
[Lukas panting.]
[groans.]
- I need some light.
- What? Bright light.
Now! I'll I'll see what I can find.
[Lukas grunts.]
[exhales.]
- [Lykke.]
Hi, sweetie.
- Mom.
- [Lykke.]
There's food in the kitchen.
- [Emma.]
I'm not hungry.
I'm sorry.
I didn't handle the thing with the apartments very well.
[scoffs.]
What's going on? [Lykke.]
I love you, no matter where you are.
Oh! Where are those light therapy lamps? [Lykke.]
I'm not sure.
In there, I think.
[Emma.]
Oh, okay.
What do these do? [Lukas.]
They restore my energies.
Your energies? They're healing.
I also have some codeine.
What? They're pills.
A kind of painkiller.
They're my mom's.
No, thanks.
I guess I should take mine.
Are you in pain too? Sort of.
It's my mood.
I have to take them.
I need them.
[Lukas.]
Says who? My doctor.
And my mom.
What happens if you don't? [chuckles.]
I don't know.
I've always taken them.
Don't let others tell you what to do or lead you in other directions than the one you want.
You know best who you wanna be.
And you become that person.
Even if it means you're on your own.
[panting.]
[vehicles approaching.]
Maybe we should talk after all.
[exhales.]
Lukas, look at this.
What? It's the same writing.
It's my doctor Susan, and she had an affair with Hans, and now she's writing prescriptions.
She has to know something.
It can't be a coincidence.
- Let's go there.
- How? We'll figure it out.
[groans.]
Uh, you have to put clothes on first.
Clothes? [Emma.]
Yeah, yours got destroyed.
You can borrow my mom's.
Are you too heteronormative for that? [laughs.]
It doesn't matter.
I'll figure it out.
- [beeps.]
- [buzzer sounds.]
Come on in.
You were right.
I knew it.
Who are you? We are what you see here and so much more.
We've existed longer than you can imagine.
We always look for the same thing.
Extraterrestrial life.
We wanna be the link between outer space and the Earth.
How did you know about the recoil impact? What's in it for me? You'll join us.
Isn't that enough? Tell me what you know.
If this gets out, I want my name on it.
It shouldn't get out.
- [Mads.]
No, but if it does.
- If it does, we have a deal.
You mentioned a hard drive.
She has it.
Emma.
[sighs.]
Then why am I talking to you? I'll get it back.
[Thomas.]
That's a good idea.
As soon as possible.
You have to find her.
I know what I said, but I need that hard drive now.
[Marie.]
I don't know where she is.
Why do you need it now? Why now? I was right, Marie.
Everything is on that hard drive, so no one but me is allowed to look at it.
Okay.
[sighs.]
[Emma.]
That's Susan's clinic.
It actually suits you.
Baby blue.
[chuckles.]
Baby blue.
[sighs.]
[chuckles.]
Okay, wait in the car.
[panting.]
[gasps.]
[sighs.]
[grunts, chuckles.]
[typing.]
[gasping.]
[exhales.]
[grunts.]
[panting.]
[cell phone vibrating.]
Pick up.
Don't go home.
Call me back.
[Emma panting.]
- What happened? - She had these.
She had these samples.
It looks like Hans' blood and the guy at the café.
[panting.]
Shit, it's her.
Go.
[engine turns over.]
Wait.
She's coming back out.
Pull over.
Let's see what she does.
What's she up to? Shit.
She's going.
She can lead us to them.
Follow her.
Where's she going? [brake ratchets.]
[door opens.]
What are you doing? She knows you.
I'll follow her.
Not in those clothes.
We'll wait here.
[Lukas sighs.]
[Emma huffs.]
She went shopping? Nobody goes shopping just after being robbed.
[mouths.]
What? [shudders.]
- Know them? - No.
[chattering.]
Are you sure? [Emma.]
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
[Emma.]
I gotta go.
[shudders.]
[gasps.]
[gasps.]
[kisses.]
[screaming.]
[gasping.]
- [both laughing.]
- Mom, are you serious? [chuckles.]
[panting.]
