Jasper!
Wake up. Come on!
The hallway's collapsed. Is there another way out?
In my pocket.
There's a shaft somewhere.
Thanks.
Jasper?
Jasper.
Jasper, wake up. Jasper!
You hear me? Wake up. We have to go. Come.
-Come. -What?
It's okay. We have to get out.
-Can you stand up? -Hold on.
You okay?
I hurt my leg.
Come on!
To the door up ahead. There has to be another exit.
Let's go.
We have to get him out.
Hey. Help is on its way.
Open.
Mia!
Come on.
Let's find the shaft.
Here.
Up there?
-Jasper! -Yes.
-I can't hold on. -Here.
-Help me. -Just a bit more!
I've got you!
Come on!
I've got you! Come on.
I've got you.
On our next date, let's watch a film.
Okay.
There's Winter's car.
I'll get you to the hospital.
Dad?
Hold on.
That way.
Rheinhausen?
To Lorenz?
We have to warn her.
-Fürstenberg's after her. -You need to go to the hospital.
Only we know she's in danger. My phone's broken. Fürstenberg has yours.
-We warn her or no one will. -We don't know how much time you have.
It's okay.
I'll tough it out.
Dad?
Niklas.
I'm waiting here for you. I'm really worried. Where are you?
-A severely injured person! -I can't talk.
You can stay until Lotta gets back.
Thanks.
I hope she calms down.
Nothing against her. This is so complicated.
I really hope it gets sorted out and we remain friends.
Yeah, I hope so too.
Hello. It's an emergency. We have to talk to your daughter.
She's not here.
Where is she?
She wanted to meet a "Jasper." I have no idea where.
I'm Jasper.
Do you have a phone? Ours are broken.
Yes, of course. Come in.
Here.
INCOMING CALL MOM
-What is it? -It's Mia.
Von Fürstenberg knows. It's a trap.
-Shit. -Jasper's next to me.
Von Fürstenberg has his phone.
-Damn! How much does he know? -Everything.
He read Jasper's messages.
-You have the book? -Yes.
There are hundreds. All about secret projects like Homo Deus.
Good. How are you?
Not too good.
Meet me at the Excellence Center for the handover.
I'll get you sorted out.
That's where he'll look for us first.
We need equipment you can't find anywhere else in Germany.
CALL VON FÜRSTENBERG
-Wolfgang. -Where are you going?
Did you think I'd accept you not sticking to our deal?
I am sticking to it.
I'm keeping your research until you get out and can work again.
And what about the other part of our deal?
Keeping you out of it and a short prison term for me?
I can't control that.
-But I can. -I have your records.
Your lab is destroyed.
-You need me. -I don't need anyone.
I have my knowledge, my training, my ideas.
I know exactly how Homo Deus works. I can reproduce it at any time.
-All I need is-- -Mia.
You need Mia.
Autopilot activated.
Professor?
I have proof that Baron von Fürstenberg is behind everything.
Not just Homo Deus, but other projects of similar magnitude.
-How many other projects? -Lots.
A whole lot.
I want you to call the DA.
Tell him I'm prepared to expose dozens of secret projects,
sponsors, and colleagues if he lets me go.
You're aware of what that means? The sorts of enemies you'll make?
No enemies means no character.
-So, can you make it happen? -Yes.
I think the DA would accept this deal.
Very good.
Autopilot deactivated.
Please let us through.
-Is my father in there? -Pardon.
I need to know where my father is!
-Okay? -It's getting worse.
Hey.
It's okay.
You guys look like shit.
The book.
Thanks, Monique.
Dad!
In your lab.
Can you come here?
Where's the ultrasound helmet?
Since you've been gone, our success rate hasn't been profitable.
-Budget cuts. -Where's the device?
The controller and helmet were sold.
-They cut the wrong corners. -What do we need to save Mia?
Something like a reverse brain-computer interface.
I can open her blood-brain barrier with it and her immune system can permeate it.
How long will it take to get one?
-There are no other ones in Germany. -How long?
-There's a… -Maybe a few days.
There's an interface in the apartment.
-What? -What?
Mia! Diazepam, quickly!
-Right away! -Mia.
-I'll get the interface. -Okay.
Mia, calm down! Mia!
Come here, Mia. Look at me.
Everything's fine. Look at me.
Everything will be fine.
Come here. Everything's fine.
You surely have many questions.
Hey! You're awake. Tell me, did you drive here?
Mia needs us.
Our ancestors,
your great-grandfather, your grandfather, and now me.
We are supporters of science.
But there are things…
our world simply isn't ready for.
Powerful energy sources that would be misused as weapons.
Artificial intelligence
that completely replaces human relationships.
All things people want…
but everyone only sees themselves and their own microcosm.
Someone has to keep an eye on the big picture.
It's our responsibility.
Lorenz has a drug that prevents people from ever getting sick again.
Homo Deus.
The consequence would be an exploding overpopulation.
War over drinking water, food, and living space.
The key to Lorenz's discovery is your friend Mia.
And Lorenz is on her way to her.
The two of them can't get together.
Where's Mia?
I don't know.
But I know who to ask.
Go ahead. I'll be right there.
-Hey. -Hey.
Sorry I was so short with you before.
-There was a fire on our estate. -What? Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Are you still at home?
No, I'm at the Excellence Center.
Mia's in rough shape. Lorenz is trying to save her.
Shit. Should I come by?
That's sweet, but we have enough people.
Let's meet at home later and talk everything over.
No one wants to argue with you, especially me.
Yeah, let's meet at home.
-See you later. -Later, bye.
Your guilty conscience about your friend is honorable.
And so is your loyalty to your family.
Okay, let me get this straight.
The ultrasound will jolt the tissue so the membranes expand
to let the immune system reach the brain, right?
Yes. The wrong setting could soften her brain,
not just the blood-brain barrier.
Not good. New idea.
We could find out
what nanoparticle Winter used to get Oblivion to her brain and use it to…
That'd take weeks. This is Mia's only chance.
This is the shittiest idea in the history of shitty ideas.
Oblivion refolds the protein in the brain needed to manifest memories.
But I suspect that the newly folded protein is a prion
that gradually changes the normal form of the same protein into…
My name is Emma Mia Akerlund. …voluntarily and of sound mind…
It's not that bad.
Like Creutzfeldt-Jakob, but a thousand times faster.
I collaborated with von Fürstenberg and Winter.
Voluntarily. I just forgot.
We made a deal.
-Sorry I got you into this. -Hey.
We all have good and bad days.
Yes. We'll discuss it when you wake up because you're out of it right now.
Just so you know, we love you as you are.
-Let's get started. -Okay.
You sure we should do this?
If you wanted to kill me, you'd have done it long ago.
I could be wrong.
We'll use 60 seconds per burst.
Sinus-shaped ultrasound impulses, frequency 515 kHz
with 5,000 cycles per burst.
Five thousand cycles.
And an interburst interval of 64 milliseconds.
Ready?
Right, then.
Let's go.
Where are my friends?
Do you want your present?
We really got to know each other.
-What do you want? -To explain it!
-Talk to me. -Why?
You come and say sorry, then think it's all okay.
Come on. Mia.
Here's the problem.
You can't run around freely knowing about the Homo Deus drug.
Either you forget the last 24 hours,
or I'll have to make you disappear.
Forever.
We have a research project, Oblivion, the morning-after pill for shitty days.
It would be interesting to see how it works
on you.
Never.
You're young.
You spent the past years completing your father's mission.
You're free now.
I don't want to stop you from looking ahead.
What about Lorenz?
She'll go to prison.
-What will you do with Homo Deus? -Nothing.
It'll go away. No one will ever know it existed.
I'm on your side.
Had it been up to me, Homo Deus would've never been explored.
I knew I could trust your moral compass.
Grandma! I don't understand you!
My dear. Bebis.
They'll always be in here.
A part of you.
They'll live forever in your memories.
You'll never forget them.
She's alive.
Good. Then let's finish this.
Watch Lorenz.
She knows a little Oblivion won't be enough for her.
You lied to me.
You financed Homo Deus.
It's your fault my brother and parents are dead.
I don't wanna hurt you, Mia.
Lotta. Set us free.
-I can't. -Fuck, Lotta!
Who knows what your psycho dad's doing! We have to help!
He's not doing anything to her!
Since I've known Mia, she's used everyone for her own vendetta.
You said it's okay to sacrifice a life to save many.
But not if it involves you.
You carried out an attack.
You are the psychos!
My father is correcting Lorenz's mistakes.
What?
Why finance Homo Deus if you don't wanna use it?
So it won't be misused.
Everyone should be able to make their own health choices.
If everyone could choose to be healed or not,
of course everyone would choose to be healed.
The population is already exploding. The planet is collapsing.
Someone has to take responsibility.
Homo Deus is a part of me. You can't take it away.
That's not your choice.
Family is complicated.
Leave me alone.
As a child, all I wanted was to be loved by my parents.
I did anything for that.
I was the best student in my school. Germany's youngest female professor.
-It was never enough. -Can you shut up?
But I got recognition from others.
My professors.
The scientific community.
My investors.
I always took the path others set out for me.
-Don't make the same mistake. -Shut up!
Hey, Lotta.
Sit back down.
You won't shoot.
-That's not who you are. I know you. -Now.
Nothing's happened yet.
Everything's fine.
We'll sort it out.
Watch out, Dad!
Stop it.
Shit! Stop that!
We need an ambulance at the Freiburg Institute.
There are two people injured. Now!
-Hey. -Hey.
How are you?
How's your leg?
Better than your arm.
Hey.
Mia!
Is your head all right? Did the sonication work?
No problem. Anytime.
Yeah.
-Where's Lorenz? -She went to see her lawyer.
Von Fürstenberg?
Is he…
ICU.
And Lotta?
What happened?
I want…
Dad?
I want…
Can you leave us alone?
-I'm almost done. -Now!
There's something that can't wait.
I need you two to do something.
For the family.
Are you okay?
My arm…
But up here, everything's working again.
You have a good immune system.
Yes, the best.
Thank you.
Thanks for the book.
Now Homo Deus can benefit everyone.
Why did you want to see me?
But you wanted to…
-Mia! -What?
No.
