02x02 - Dark Matter

[bunniefuu]

We've managed
to stabilize the God Particle

and consequently the resulting mass.

In a stable state
it seems to create a kind of portal,

which possibly allows for time travel.

Supplied with sufficient voltage
the matter can be kept

in a stable state in the long term.

Sending objects
through the stabilized matter

has proven possible.

A generator has to supply
sufficient AC current for that.

Despite lengthy observation,
we have yet to determine

the matter's energy source.

It would appear
to be running entirely on its own.

The readings indicate
that there is no loss of energy.

It seems to be a recursive,
self-sustainable system.

Radiation emanating from the matter
is above control values.

Yet there are no signs of deterioration.

This is consistent with the principle
of conservation of energy,

yet contradicts
the second law of thermodynamics.

The matter seems to exist
independent of external temperatures...

in solid, liquid
and gaseous states simultaneously.

Its molecules are continually rearranged

in a cyclical process.

FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE APOCALYPSE

Hey, sleepyhead.
We're running a little late today.

Don't worry, it'll be fine.

Just one week, then you're on vacation.

But it's my mom's birthday.

You know what we said, hmm?

The past is the past, you know.

And now is now.

Shall we?

Let's go.

Regina, you'll be late!

The French delegation
is visiting the plant.

- I can't make it today.
- No problem.

I'm not doing anything at all.

- Regina!
- I can do this more often.

Regina!

Where did you find this little one?

- She looks like Gretchen.
- For God's sake.

Regina, where are you?

Listen.

I want to talk while I'm here.

There's something
I really need to tell you about.

Hi, Grandpa. We going?

Don't say goodbye, no problem!

Tell me what?

It's nothing.

All right. Goodbye, then.

JANUARY 8, 1921
SIC MUNDUS CREATUS EST

"Sic mundus creatus est.
Thus the world was created."

The Tiedemann interview.

You forget?

No. I thought you wanted to do it alone.

What's wrong? Have something better to do?

No. It's just, I'm wondering
why Mrs. Tiedemann is first.

There's no link to the missing persons.

The missing all disappeared
near the caves or the nuclear power plant.

It's also true

of your colleague Ulrich Nielsen's brother
in 1986.

And then...

there's also that door we found
to the nuclear plant, underground.

How long have Aleksander Tiedemann
and his wife been married?

I really don't know.

Regina was...

mid-20s.

How come?

It's not unusual?

What?

That Aleksander Tiedemann
took the name of his wife when he married?

No.

We going?

- Coming?
- Yup.

Hey, where have you been?

Why didn't you call back?
I've been trying to reach you all day.

Last year.

I know where you got the cash.

Blow job 40 euros, a**l 45?

Kinky games extra?
Who'd you do it with?

Who've you been sucking off
in this f*cking town?

Nothing's changed!
All the lying, everybody.

- I have no idea what you're saying.
- I followed you.

I know where you got the cash.

- Your first thought is I'm a prost*tute?
- What else could I think?

I don't sell my tits or my ass.

I f*cking sell
hormone therapy prescriptions.

My father used to pay
for his visits with them.

Since he hasn't been able to,
I'm the new source.

Why do you do it?

I help her, she helps me.
That's all it is.

The secrets are never the problem,
it's what everyone in this town projects.

Besides, I said it doesn't concern you
and it doesn't.

I can't believe you've been spying on me.
How f*cked up is that?

What is that?

A time machine.

You can travel 33 years into the past

or 33 years into the future.

You're serious, huh?

I did it all wrong.

I meant to keep it secret.

But you see,
that's exactly what's behind this.

The secrets.

Mom, I know it seems insane.

I want you to see for yourself,

with your own eyes.

Meaning?

Dad's secret, I mean.

♪ Listen to the voice of Buddha ♪

♪ Saying stop your sericulture ♪

Out of my way, douchebag!

Hey, Hannah, come on.

What are you staring at?

Thank God you're here.
There's someone's waiting in your office.

I didn't know...

It... It's the dog.

She says it belongs to her.

Is she yours?

I'm so sorry.

She ran to me.

The animal shelter said
no one had reported her missing.

And she looks like the dog I had
as a little girl.

Gretchen.

How did you know that?

Because it's my dog.

Just like it is yours.

Excuse me?

And the blood levels?

So it's already spread.

The hospital?

Friday already?

Oh, no.

Yeah, okay. That'll work.

Don't worry. I have someone.

Yeah.

POLICE DIARY 1986

10:30 A.M. INTERVIEW: HELGE DOPPLER
WHY NOT THROUGH THE FOREST?

Why not through the forest?

I know it's hard to believe.

But I remember.

What?

This exact moment.

Go to the window.

Trust me.

There are two people at their desks,
Hermann und Kowaltschik.

Our secretary will approach the desk.
She'll fan her face on the way.

Watch Kowaltschik.

He's about to drop his pen.

You should be more careful.
Someone could trip.

What's this all about?

It happened to me.

All you have experienced,
all you've ever been.

I am you.

And I was told by me
that you and I are the same person.

This can't be real.

This is Gretchen.

The day she ran into the caves
I was there waiting for her.

Knew me as if I hadn't aged a day.

I made sure she would find you
on the other side.

Some things have to happen
exactly the way they always have.

The cave.

Everything last summer.

There was something else!

- Do you believe in ghosts?
- What do you mean?

This book we're reading
in school right now.

It's about the ghosts and demons

we inherit from our parents.

And the ones we pass on.

Dark stuff.

From generation to generation.

I guess.

But you only got your mom's best features,
if you ask me.

- I didn't even know she had any.
- No?

You have no idea.

She's never there.

And when she is,
all she does is complain about me.

She's never said, "I love you, Regina."

Let me, then.

How would you describe
your relationship with Ulrich Nielsen?

We don't have a relationship
with any of the Nielsens at all.

Mm-hmm. The day before he disappeared
he was at your hotel.

What did he want?

He wanted to know
what really happened in 1986.

Because I was the last person
to see his brother before he d*ed.

Your husband.

He came to Winden...

Since 1986.

- Why do you ask?
- Why did he take your last name?

I don't understand.
What does my name have to do with this?

- I think we're done here.
- Sh! Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.

There's still something else.

No?

Last year a man came to the hotel.

Those are his things.

He wanted a room.

He looked like a homeless person.

He paid cash.

He left after a few days.
He wanted to keep the room, though.

He never came back.

These were covering the walls.

When he left, he asked me
to deliver a package for him.

To whom?

Jonas Kahnwald.

You kept this secret?

I have to go.
Elisabeth has swim class.

I totally forgot.

I'm sorry.
You can take a taxi home.

Well...

This strange man...

What did he look like?

What is this?

Why are we here?

It's safer to travel from here.

I meant it when I said it'd be easier
once you've seen it.

Don't be scared.

Shouldn't you be at school?

I know you.

You were at the hospital.

I come here a lot.

It's special here.

So...

Why aren't you at school?

Mm!

I get it. Sometimes we don't really know
where we should be.

I wouldn't be going in there.

It's like a maze in there.

Some don't come back out.

At the hospital,

something you said...

about God

and how he has a plan for everyone.

What if God doesn't know
what he's doing?

If the plan is wrong?
If God is wrong?

God is never wrong.

Sometimes we need faith
that things will get better for us again.

I've been meaning to for a long time.

To come by here.

Now that I'm retired,
I mean, it's easy to do.

I...

Mads' disappearance.

It still haunts me.

That day...

You were working at the plant that day.

You said you took the country lane home,

but that's the long way.

Tell me why you wouldn't take
the forest road?

He said...

he could change it.

That he could change everything,
the future and past.

Who told you that?

The man with the stone.

But that was 30 years ago.

What's this to do with Mads at all?

Nobody can change it. Nobody!

Not even the white devil!

The white devil?

You've talked about all this before.
You were just a child.

Tick, tock.

Tick, tock.

Tick, tock.

I want you to believe
in an idea that is bigger than you,

bigger than any of us.

What is that?

This is mankind's greatest discovery,

and also its doom.

It lets you travel through time.

Thirty-three years backwards.

Thirty-three years forwards.

And it will take exactly 33 years
till the cycle is complete again.

You will stand here
where I am standing.

And you will accept your part
in all of this,

and what it means you'll be losing.

In five days everything starts over.

You must stop Adam.

Who is Adam?

You don't understand it yet.

But you will soon.

But until then everything will happen
the way it always has.

The way it has to.

In the end, life is just
a collection of missed opportunities.

You don't have much time with Regina.

But if everything works out...

she will live.

A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME

Charlotte?

Charlotte?

Are you okay?

Last year, when the kids went missing...

a man was at Regina's hotel.

He had some drawing with him, copies.

What kind of drawings?

They're from the book.

The book my grandfather wrote, Peter.
A Journey through Time.

- They all said he was crazy.
- Where are you now?

But he knew that it was all true.

Why did he have that photo?

And why didn't he ever say
who my parents really were?

"You... You know the rules."

"Do you think
they don't apply to you?"

Why are you lying?

About what's really in the dead zone!

Ah! Ah!

Ah!

In five days, in my time,
everybody is going to die.

I have to stop that!

There is no prophecy!

The passage will never open!

Your paradise is nothing but lies!

But behind the wall...

WINDEN BOY MISSING

Hello. This is Egon.

MADS NIELSEN

Listen, back in 1953, we arrested a man.

POLICE IN DARK

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM AFTER 1953?

He k*lled two children
and kidnapped Helge Doppler.

NO RESULT

Yes.

I was wondering,
what ever happened to the guy?

Yes, I'll wait.

IS THIS MAN A CHILD k*ller?

Yes?

Okay, you have the file.

But he can't still be here!

Where?

Yes?

Chief Inspector Tiedemann.

I'm here to speak with a patient.

Was anyone told I was coming?

Not that I know of.

Well, well.

File number...

K-5-3.

Must've been here for 34 years.

The Inspector?

That's what we call him here.

Nice guy. I wasn't even born when he came.
He's like a permanent fixture.

- He'll be happy to finally have a visitor.
- Does he...

- get day release?
- No.

That ward is closed.

That one, with the long gray hair.

Thank you.

Excuse me, please.

I don't know
if you recognize me, but, uh...

my name is Egon Tiedemann.

I arrested you 34 years ago.

Egon Tiedemann.

Of course I remember you.

I...

I wanted...

some of your time.

"My only aim is to take many lives.
The more, the better I feel."

I've heard that.

You've said those words before.

What the hell does it mean?

It means you're still an idiot
who doesn't understand.

You have to hurry now.

You don't have much time.

Until you're dead and buried.

It was in the papers.

- I'm not following you.
- No, of course you aren't.

Maybe that's your fate.

To die as clueless as you were born,
you know?

Everybody gets what they deserve.

Where were you?

I've been so worried, Mikkel.

I called the school.
They said you weren't there.

Something happen?

You know what?

There are some days
you just have to forget about.

But...

there's no better comfort food I know
than "Toast Hawaii."

Way back when I was little we'd have this,
with two cherries on top.

And my dad used to dance, like Elvis.

PINEAPPLES

Do you believe in God?

Mm-hmm.

Do you think he has a plan?

I believe that.

Yeah.

I believe, for example, that God made sure

you came to me.

And that his plan for me is to...

to take care of you.

So, let's make this "Toast Hawaii," yeah?

Give me a hand?

Why didn't she k*ll you?

Who are you, really?

Tell me now!

So show me, then.

BUILDING YOUR FAMILY'S HAPPINESS

What is that?

She said that it's a portal.

Who?

Tapes of a woman talking.

Her name is Claudia Tiedemann.
I know it sounds crazy.

But that could very well
be our way to get home.

I don't know if it works.

You're going in?

Whether I die out here
or in there doesn't matter.

Jonas!
