Come on.
Come on, Abraham, come.
Come on, lets go. Come on!
The red star is missing from Scorpio.
Antares is no longer there.
Part 2 CLAIRE
I swear to God, your sister can't do anything by herself.
Hello, darling. How are you?
Just do as I've told you.
There's a taxi down the street waiting for you. I already told her that.
Just open the door, and get in.
Unbelievable.
Just get in the cab, darling.
Well, then call me back if you can't make it to the cab.
We'll pay for it when you arrive. Don't worry about it.
We'll see about that.
I love you, darling.
Please, John, she's my sister. Oh, please!
She's a bad influence on you and Leo.
She's ill.
Right.
Have you been going online again?
Claire, you promised.
I'm afraid of that stupid planet. That stupid planet?
That wonderful planet, you mean.
First it was black, now it's blue.
Blocking Antares, hiding behind the sun.
Darling, this is going to be the most amazing experience we will have in our lives.
It won't be here in five days, and it is not going to hit us.
Just like it didn't hit Mercury, as we knew it wouldn't.
And it didn't hit Venus, as we well knew it wouldn't.
And it won't hit Earth, as we know it won't.
Claire, look at me.
Sweetheart, you have to trust a scientist.
They say that it will hit...
No they don't, that's not true.
Not the real scientists.
Now, the prophets of doom they'll write whatever they can to get attract attention.
But the real scientists, all of them agree.
Melancholy is just gonna pass right in front of us.
And it's gonna be the most beautiful sight ever.
Now, I wish you'd watch it through the telescope with me.
Please. No, I'd better not.
Son of a bitch.
When are we going to build those caves, Aunt Steelbreaker?
Sweetheart, not right now. We're gonna do that in a little while.
Okay?
She's still sleeping.
Yes, but she has to get up now.
What are you making?
Meatloaf.
Meatloaf? Yes.
If that's doesn't get her out of bed, nothing will.
Time to wake up, Justine. No more sleeping.
Going to take you to a nice bath. How would you like that? Come on.
You 'll see you'll like it. I promise. Come on.
I'll wash you, okay?
Just lift your foot.
Go on.
Lift your foot.
You need a bath.
You need to wash. Right? I'm so tired ...
Come on, try.
I can not.
Justine, you'll like it.
See?
It's nice, it's a nice bath.
Justine ... Please.
Okay, so...
We've practiced for tomorrow.
And I have a surprise for you for dinner.
Can you smell it?
Meatloaf?
Surprise!
It tastes like ashes.
It's all right, sis.
Auntie Steelbreaker's crying. Don't worry, son.
Do you want to go back up?
May I be excused?
Take one more bite.
Look.
It's a planet that has been hiding behind the sun.
And now it passes by us.
It's called a Fly by.
It's not something you need to frighten aunt Steelbreaker with now.
If you think I'm afraid of a planet, then you're too stupid.
Just a few things we're gonna need in case of Melancholy gets really close.
Look, I'd really appreciate it if you didn't mention this to Claire.
She gets anxious so easily.
Come on, Justine.
Take it. That's it.
Come on, Justine, take him out.
Justine, take him out!
Come on.
Come on!
Don't beat him!
Come on!
Justine, don't beat him!
Stop.
There it is.
There's your Fly by.
You don't touch the instrument. Come on Leo.
Look.
Our son has invented a very fine device.
If you adjust the steel and point it towards the planet from your chest
it'll tell you how fast it's approaching and ultimately how fast it will recede.
Okay.
Leo...
What are we excited about?
Tomorrow night. That's right.
Wow, that's amazing.
Amazing isn't it? Let me look.
Earth & Melancholia Dance of Death
John!
Coming.
We're prepared for this. The power will be back on in a few days.
Claire...
Tomorrow evening Melancholy will pass us by
and you'll never have to see it again, okay?
So it won't hit us?
Not a chance.
What if your scientists have miscalculated and...
They haven't.
You promise?
Of course I do.
I promise.
It's rising again.
Just like the moon.
Because of the Earth's rotation.
Exactly like they said it would.
Are you hungry? No, thanks.
Are you okay? Yeah.
Do you plan to kill us all?
Maybe I should take those. Don't touch them.
Don't you touch them.
Justine, come and have a bath. I've had a bath.
Really? Yes, I'm very clean.
Little Father didn't come to work.
I checked the noteboard. He didn't leave one.
I tried to call him, but maybe something's wrong with the phone.
You see, it's never happened before that he didn't come to work without giving us notice.
Does he have a family?
He lives in the village...
I do not know if he has a family.
Maybe this is a time when he needs to be with them.
It'll pass us by tonight.
John is quite calm about it.
Does that calm you down?
Yes, of course.
Well, John studies things. He always has.
The earth is evil.
We don't need to grieve for it.
What?
Nobody will miss it.
But where would Leo grow up?
All I know is ...
Life on earth is evil.
There may be life somewhere else.
No, there isn't.
How do you know?
Because I know things.
Oh, yes, you always imagine, you did.
I know we're alone.
I don't think you know that at all.
Six hundred and seventy-eight.
The bean lottery.
Nobody guessed the amount of beans in the bottle.
No, that's right.
But I know.
Six hundred and seventy-eight.
Well, perhaps...
What does that prove?
That I know things.
And when I say we're alone...
We're alone.
Life exists only on Earth.
And not for long.
I can stay up all evening till the middle of the night...
when we get to see the planet fly by, and I get to look at the telescope.
Yes, of course, darling.
But are you sure you can stay up that late?
You haven't slept much lately.
Yes, I can.
Can't I, Auntie Steelbreaker?
Can't I? Yes, you can. Of course you can.
It's eleven. It's almost here.
Leo, sweetheart.
It's time to wake up.
Leo.
There.
Leo should be watching this.
My God.
There.
Take a look.
Are you afraid?
No, it looks...
It looks friendly.
Yes.
That's what I've been trying to explain to you.
My God.
I'd like to raise a toast.
To life.
To life? What do you mean, to life?
You said it was going to be okay.
There was no sense in alarming everybody.
So, you're saying that our lives were in danger?
No, I was saying...
No, I'm saying that when dealing with science and calculations of this magnitude...
you have to account for a margin of error. That's all I'm saying.
I'm sorry.
It's not fun any more.
Actually it's moving away from us as we speak.
You just can't see it through the naked eye.
Come here.
Put this to your chest.
Aim it up at the planet. Hold on.
Is that right? Yes.
In five minutes... it'll be smaller.
I can't breathe. Just relax, relax.
This is normal. It's taking part of our atmosphere.
For a little while, it's gonna make us winded.
Just try and breathe calmly.
Just breathe.
There you go.
Just try to breathe calmly.
There you go.
Please, can I look now?
Of course.
It's smaller.
Of course it is.
It's smaller! It's smaller!
Sure. Of course it is.
It's moving away from us at over sixty thousand miles an hour.
For heaven's sake...
Come here.
Mom...
We have to stay up...
I wanna look through the telescope ...
Breathe calmly.
Be happy, please.
If I dare, you can do it.
I'm happy you're happy.
You have it easy, don't you?
I imagined the worst thing possible.
That's right, Claire. Sometimes it's easy being me.
Hi, darling.
Do you want tea? No, thank you.
Something to drink?
John!
John.
John!
I can't find John. Do you know where he is?
No.
I was just listening.
There's something different.
The horses... They've come down.
John...
Good morning, Mom.
Get a blanket.
Justine, breakfast.
Where's John?
He rode to the village.
Why didn't he just take the car?
Abraham needed a ride.
Since you never ride him.
Come with me.
Justine ...
Come!
Claire...
Claire. Dammit... what...?
Claire.
Where are you going? To the village. Come.
This has nothing to do with the village.
Get in!
I want us to be together when it happens.
Outside on the terrace.
Help me, Justine.
I want to do this the right way.
Better do it quickly.
A glass of wine together, maybe?
You want me to have a glass of wine on your terrace?
Yes, would you do it, sis?
How about a song?
Beethoven's Ninth ...
Something like that?
Perhaps we could light some candles.
You just want us all to gather on your terrace
sing a song and have a glass of wine...
the three of us.
Yes, that would make me happy.
Do you know what I think of your plan?
No.
I only think that he might like it.
I think it's a piece of shit.
Justine, please...
I just wanted to be nice.
Nice?
Why don't we meet in the fucking toilet?
Then let's not.
You're damn right, let's not.
Sometimes I hate you so much, Justine.
I'm afraid that the planet will hit us, anyway.
Don't be... please.
Dad said there is nothing to do, then...
Nowhere to hide.
If your dad said that, then he's forgotten about something.
He's forgotten about the magic cave.
The magic cave... Yep.
Is that something everybody can make?
Aunt Steelbreaker can.
All right, let's go find stick, all right?
Hold my hand.
Close your eyes.
