1. Black holes are considered to be
the hellmouths of the universe.
Copy !req
2. Those who fall inside disappear.
Copy !req
3. Forever.
Copy !req
4. But whereto?
Copy !req
5. What lies behind a black hole?
Copy !req
6. WHERE IS MIKKEL?
Copy !req
7. Along with things,
do space and time also vanish there?
Copy !req
8. Or would space and time
Copy !req
9. be tied together
and be part of an endless cycle?
Copy !req
10. What if everything that came from the past
Copy !req
11. were influenced by the future?
Copy !req
12. Tick-tock.
Copy !req
13. Tick-tock.
Copy !req
14. Tick-tock.
Copy !req
15. Tick-tock.
Copy !req
16. Tick-tock.
Copy !req
17. Tick-tock.
Copy !req
18. The sneaky little bitch.
Copy !req
19. Elli! Where's my lipstick?
Copy !req
20. - Good morning.
- Morning.
Copy !req
21. I'm going to stop by the home
to see Dad before work.
Copy !req
22. Okay.
Copy !req
23. I'll take Elisabeth to school.
Copy !req
24. I don't want her to go by herself.
Copy !req
25. All right.
Copy !req
26. WHERE IS THE CROSSING?
Copy !req
27. There you are, you stupid cow!
Copy !req
28. Where's my red lipstick?
Copy !req
29. I don't have your stupid lipstick.
Copy !req
30. I'm only eight. I don't use lipstick.
Copy !req
31. You may be able
to fool those two upstairs
Copy !req
32. with your puppy-dog eyes
Copy !req
33. and your pitiful deaf-and-dumb act,
Copy !req
34. but I don't buy it.
Copy !req
35. Have you packed your backpack?
I'll drive you.
Copy !req
36. Shall I take you too?
Copy !req
37. Am I a baby or what?
Copy !req
38. Because of Mikkel?
Copy !req
39. Yes, because of Mikkel.
Copy !req
40. Do you know who stole him?
Copy !req
41. I won't discuss police work with you.
Copy !req
42. I don't like Mikkel.
He's a show-off and a jerk.
Copy !req
43. I don't really care if he ever comes back.
Copy !req
44. Hey!
Copy !req
45. Where are you going?
Copy !req
46. To school.
Copy !req
47. You don't have to go if you don't want to.
Copy !req
48. I can call them.
Copy !req
49. I'm fine.
Copy !req
50. Jonas?
Copy !req
51. We could also do something nice together.
Copy !req
52. Just the two of us.
Copy !req
53. Mom.
Copy !req
54. Okay.
Copy !req
55. Dad?
Copy !req
56. You can't keep walking off.
Copy !req
57. I have to tell him.
Copy !req
58. Tell who what?
Copy !req
59. I have to tell him.
Copy !req
60. It has to stop.
Copy !req
61. It has to stop.
Copy !req
62. It has to...
Copy !req
63. What has to stop?
Copy !req
64. Tick-tock.
Copy !req
65. Don't be sad.
Copy !req
66. Weeks ago, in the small town of Winden,
Copy !req
67. a 15-year-old boy disappeared
under mysterious circumstances.
Copy !req
68. Residents are now alarmed
after a second child has gone missing.
Copy !req
69. 11-year-old Mikkel
has been missing for two days.
Copy !req
70. Please report any relevant information
to the Winden police.
Copy !req
71. There have been repeated blackouts
in recent months
Copy !req
72. Security and public facilities
Copy !req
73. have not yet been...
Copy !req
74. However,
power grid operators are promising
Copy !req
75. to find the cause of the cuts and ask
the public to report further incidents.
Copy !req
76. CAUTION!
Copy !req
77. Did you just steal something?
Copy !req
78. I confiscated something,
there's a big difference.
Copy !req
79. Whatever you call it,
it's still the same thing.
Copy !req
80. I'll pick you up afterwards.
Copy !req
81. I want you to wait for me, okay?
Copy !req
82. What did I just say?
Copy !req
83. That you'll pick me up.
Copy !req
84. Who's he?
Copy !req
85. Yasin. We're dating.
Copy !req
86. You're doing what?
Copy !req
87. Yasin is my boyfriend.
Copy !req
88. That's how you say it nowadays.
Copy !req
89. Well then...
Copy !req
90. A web of symbols and references
Copy !req
91. runs through the novel.
Copy !req
92. The "sycamores by the sea" are an example
of this plethora of symbolism.
Copy !req
93. A special form of repetition
in Goethe's work is what we call doubling.
Copy !req
94. The characters
consciously and unconsciously...
Copy !req
95. Magnus, this isn't your class.
Copy !req
96. Won't you continue?
Copy !req
97. Where was I...?
Copy !req
98. Symmetry is a special kind of doubling.
Copy !req
99. The repetition is mirrored
along a central axis.
Copy !req
100. So, the repetition begins
at an imaginary center point
Copy !req
101. and branches off
in two opposing directions.
Copy !req
102. There are several encrypted references
to later events in the novel.
Copy !req
103. Ottilie's starvation, for example,
Copy !req
104. is referenced
in the third chapter of part one,
Copy !req
105. as her "excessive abstemiousness
in eating and drinking."
Copy !req
106. This reference is again repeated later.
Copy !req
107. I have to go to the bathroom.
Copy !req
108. Yes. Sure.
Copy !req
109. I'm no ornithologist, but...
Copy !req
110. these white speckles on the feathers
Copy !req
111. are not typical of this species.
Copy !req
112. Let's have a look at what killed you.
Copy !req
113. Any news on the boy?
Copy !req
114. Mikkel?
Disappeared off the face of the earth.
Copy !req
115. No, not Mikkel. The dead boy.
Copy !req
116. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
117. No.
Copy !req
118. We ran everything through
the missing persons database. No match.
Copy !req
119. Everything okay with you?
Copy !req
120. Yeah...
Copy !req
121. No.
Copy !req
122. I've seen spots like that
on feathers before.
Copy !req
123. Thirty-three years ago.
Copy !req
124. As if all this has happened before.
Copy !req
125. The children,
Copy !req
126. the birds...
Copy !req
127. Somehow it's all connected.
Copy !req
128. I just don't know how.
Copy !req
129. Where have you been?
The phones have been ringing all morning.
Copy !req
130. Someone must've said something
about the dead boy.
Copy !req
131. What am I supposed to say?
Copy !req
132. - Is Ulrich here?
- No, why?
Copy !req
133. Go through
the missing persons database again.
Copy !req
134. Include older reports this time.
Copy !req
135. He may have disappeared a long time ago.
Check the last 15 years, okay?
Copy !req
136. Right, okay.
Copy !req
137. - Anything else?
- No. Actually, there is.
Copy !req
138. The red soil...
Copy !req
139. We can't find any.
Not anywhere close to where he was found.
Copy !req
140. It must've come from the crime scene.
Copy !req
141. Get Jankowski to look into it.
Copy !req
142. And what do we say about the dead boy?
Copy !req
143. What time is it?
Copy !req
144. Just past ten.
Copy !req
145. Charlotte called.
Copy !req
146. She still doesn't have
a search warrant for the power plant.
Copy !req
147. It's been nearly 36 hours, Ulrich.
Copy !req
148. TIME OF DISAPPEARANCE 9:30 - 10:30 PM
Copy !req
149. Should I continue with the tire tracks?
Seeing as Ulrich isn't in yet.
Copy !req
150. Tire tracks?
Copy !req
151. The treads we found on the road
the day Erik disappeared.
Copy !req
152. No, I'll do that myself.
Copy !req
153. - I can take it off your hands...
- I'll do it!
Copy !req
154. Okay.
Copy !req
155. - What's...
- A screenshot from a wildlife camera.
Copy !req
156. I thought it might give us something.
Copy !req
157. Are you done with the database?
Copy !req
158. No.
Copy !req
159. Then why are you asking me
about tire tracks?
Copy !req
160. Fine.
Copy !req
161. Charlotte?
Copy !req
162. Is everything okay?
Copy !req
163. I missed your call
on the evening Mikkel disappeared.
Copy !req
164. I never asked why you called.
Copy !req
165. Why did you call?
Copy !req
166. I...
Copy !req
167. I don't know, I...
Copy !req
168. I think I was just calling
to say I'd be home late.
Copy !req
169. Nothing special.
Copy !req
170. You were at the office
all day on Monday?
Copy !req
171. Yes... Yeah.
Copy !req
172. I was writing reports
Copy !req
173. until around ten in the evening.
Copy !req
174. Why do you ask?
Copy !req
175. TIME OF DISAPPEARANCE 9:30 - 10:30 PM
Copy !req
176. No reason.
Copy !req
177. I had something mailed to the office,
Copy !req
178. and I'd forgotten about it.
I was just wondering if it arrived.
Copy !req
179. We haven't received anything.
Copy !req
180. Okay.
Copy !req
181. Okay.
Copy !req
182. I'm allowed to be parked here.
Copy !req
183. I want to know
if Peter Doppler was one of your clients.
Copy !req
184. Last Monday.
Copy !req
185. Can I see your badge again?
Copy !req
186. Charlotte Doppler.
Copy !req
187. Is it a private or professional question?
Copy !req
188. Does it make any difference?
Copy !req
189. Was he here on Monday?
Copy !req
190. Not necessary.
Copy !req
191. I never forget a dick.
Copy !req
192. Peter's is slightly crooked,
like a dill pickle.
Copy !req
193. Feels weird in the mouth.
Copy !req
194. - You probably know that already.
- Was he here on Monday or not?
Copy !req
195. No, he hasn't been back in over a year.
Copy !req
196. He must get what he needs
somewhere else now.
Copy !req
197. Thanks.
Copy !req
198. Fuck.
Copy !req
199. The beginning is the end,
Copy !req
200. - and the end is the beginning.
- Shit.
Copy !req
201. The beginning is the end,
Copy !req
202. and the end is the beginning.
Copy !req
203. The beginning is the end...
Copy !req
204. I left my kids at home today.
Copy !req
205. My mom's there.
Copy !req
206. She's looking after them.
Copy !req
207. Supposedly they found
a body in the forest.
Copy !req
208. You see...
Copy !req
209. I have this pathologist friend, he said...
Copy !req
210. it's terribly mutilated.
Copy !req
211. - Yup?
- Guess what?
Copy !req
212. - The bird has the same thing.
- Has what?
Copy !req
213. Burst eardrums on both sides.
Copy !req
214. - And that's how it died?
- No.
Copy !req
215. It probably died from losing its bearings
and crashing into the ground.
Copy !req
216. Cracked skull.
Copy !req
217. It happens often. Electromagnetic fields
interfere with their sensory systems.
Copy !req
218. - High voltage power lines?
- No.
Copy !req
219. We're talking voltages
in the radio wave spectrum.
Copy !req
220. Electrical appliances.
Copy !req
221. - And the white spots in the feathers?
- The white spots...
Copy !req
222. They started appearing after Chernobyl.
It's a kind of mutation.
Copy !req
223. Radiation contamination?
Copy !req
224. I checked,
but the radiation levels are normal.
Copy !req
225. - Interesting.
- It sure is.
Copy !req
226. - Anything else?
- Nope.
Copy !req
227. And did you know the girl snails
bite the willies off the boy snails?
Copy !req
228. You definitely made that one up.
Copy !req
229. I didn't. Then the boys
keep crawling on as girls. No joke.
Copy !req
230. - Where did you come up with that?
- Hey!
Copy !req
231. - There you are, Yasin.
- Television.
Copy !req
232. Let's go. Grandma's waiting.
Copy !req
233. Should I give you a ride home?
Copy !req
234. My mom's picking me up.
Copy !req
235. I'll drive you home.
Copy !req
236. It's no problem.
Copy !req
237. My mom will be here any moment now.
Copy !req
238. She's the Chief of Police.
Copy !req
239. Okay.
Copy !req
240. Come on.
Copy !req
241. Yes?
Copy !req
242. He did what?
Copy !req
243. What the fuck?
Copy !req
244. What's this?
Copy !req
245. Money, you idiot. My money.
Copy !req
246. Why do you have so much money?
Copy !req
247. Are you dealing drugs?
Copy !req
248. Is that why you were at the caves?
Copy !req
249. How I earn my money
is none of your damn business.
Copy !req
250. What are you going to do with it?
Copy !req
251. What am I going to do with it?
I'm getting out of this phoney shithole.
Copy !req
252. Behind everyone's friendly smile
there's nothing but lies.
Copy !req
253. You're no different.
Copy !req
254. You pretend to be the straight-A student,
but that's not you.
Copy !req
255. - Maybe you should start telling the truth.
- You want the truth?
Copy !req
256. Fine.
Copy !req
257. My parents have slept
in different beds for over a year.
Copy !req
258. My mom found out
that Dad's actually into dicks.
Copy !req
259. Their marriage is over,
but no one will say it.
Copy !req
260. Instead, this big fat secret
is always with us at the table.
Copy !req
261. It eats our bread rolls,
the butter and the homemade jam.
Copy !req
262. It gets fatter and fatter,
until there's no space left in the room.
Copy !req
263. Until you can't breathe.
Copy !req
264. - Did you forget something?
- No.
Copy !req
265. You have to pick up Elisabeth from school.
I can't make it.
Copy !req
266. I have a patient.
I have to go to the office.
Copy !req
267. Just pick her up, okay?
Copy !req
268. She can wait at your office.
Copy !req
269. I have to go to the power plant.
Copy !req
270. Okay, I'll...
Copy !req
271. I'll pick her up.
Copy !req
272. Thank you.
Copy !req
273. Was that it?
Copy !req
274. Wait.
Copy !req
275. You made me a promise a year ago.
Copy !req
276. If there's anything at all
you want to tell me...
Copy !req
277. Hey, I really have to get going,
or else I'll be late.
Copy !req
278. Tick-tock.
Copy !req
279. Excuse me.
Copy !req
280. I'm here to pick up Elisabeth.
Copy !req
281. I thought she had already been picked up.
Copy !req
282. What?
Copy !req
283. Mrs. Clemens is sick.
School finished at two today.
Copy !req
284. Didn't Elisabeth tell you?
Copy !req
285. It was written in her homework book.
Copy !req
286. Security found him on our grounds,
close to the caves.
Copy !req
287. He must've climbed over the fence.
Copy !req
288. He hasn't been very cooperative.
Copy !req
289. You're lucky
Aleksander isn't pressing charges.
Copy !req
290. Everyone understands your situation.
Everyone.
Copy !req
291. But climbing over the fence?
Copy !req
292. Understanding is nice, thank you.
Copy !req
293. But it's not enough.
Copy !req
294. My child is gone, okay?
Copy !req
295. This isn't just some file on your desk.
Copy !req
296. It's my child.
Copy !req
297. Why Mikkel?
Copy !req
298. I keep asking myself that.
Why him? Why my son?
Copy !req
299. Why not his son?
Copy !req
300. Why not his?
Copy !req
301. I'm being punished.
Copy !req
302. And all I get is fucking sympathy.
Well, you can take that and shove it.
Copy !req
303. Where's the search warrant?
Copy !req
304. Why is no one doing anything?
Copy !req
305. Should I tell you why?
Because it's not his kid.
Copy !req
306. And because it's not your kid.
Copy !req
307. Stop here, I want to get out.
Copy !req
308. Stop the car!
Copy !req
309. - Yes?
- Elisabeth wasn't there.
Copy !req
310. What do you mean not there?
Copy !req
311. She wasn't at school.
Copy !req
312. Mrs. Clemens is sick.
Copy !req
313. She wasn't waiting there.
Copy !req
314. I've been up and down the forest road
twice already, but she's not here.
Copy !req
315. Maybe someone from school took her home?
Maybe Yasin?
Copy !req
316. Go back home.
Copy !req
317. Maybe she went a different way.
Call everyone in her class.
Copy !req
318. I'll be there in 15 minutes.
Copy !req
319. Yes, all right.
Copy !req
320. Thank you.
Copy !req
321. I've called everyone on the list.
Copy !req
322. Nothing.
Copy !req
323. I have to tell him.
Copy !req
324. He has to stop.
Copy !req
325. I lost my hat.
Copy !req
326. Where were you?
Copy !req
327. You didn't pick me up, so I walked.
Copy !req
328. And that took you this long?
Copy !req
329. I met someone.
Copy !req
330. He gave me this.
Copy !req
331. Who did?
Copy !req
332. Ouch! You're hurting me.
Copy !req
333. I want to know who gave this to you.
Copy !req
334. Noah.
Copy !req
335. Who is Noah?
Copy !req
336. He said it used to belong to you.
Copy !req
337. - You are all cold...
- Elli?
Copy !req
338. Elli, is that you?
Copy !req
339. I was so worried about you.
Copy !req
340. Where were you?
Copy !req
341. Hands off my stuff!
Copy !req
342. Hello?
Copy !req
343. Yes.
Copy !req
344. No, she's here now.
Copy !req
345. Just now.
Copy !req
346. What?
Copy !req
347. Yes, I'll be right there.
Copy !req
348. Wöller found Helge in the woods.
Copy !req
349. We're searching for Ariadne's thread,
Copy !req
350. the one meant
to guide us along the right path.
Copy !req
351. A beacon in the darkness.
Copy !req
352. We'd love to know our fate.
Copy !req
353. Where we're headed.
Copy !req
354. But the truth is that there is
but one path through all times.
Copy !req
355. Predetermined by the beginning
Copy !req
356. and by the end.
Copy !req
357. Which is also the beginning.
Copy !req
358. He has to stop.
Copy !req
359. Who has to stop?
Copy !req
360. I have to stop him.
Copy !req
361. Stop whom?
Copy !req
362. Noah.
Copy !req
363. I'm not a baby anymore.
Copy !req
364. I can go to school on my own!
Copy !req
365. You must be Yasin.
Copy !req
366. Noah sent me.
Copy !req
