"ProSieben presents a teamworx Production" "funded by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg GmbH" "TORNADO The Wrath of Heaven" "And now the weather." "Again you can expect temperatures above 30ºC." "Meteorologists have already stated that this summer has been one of the hottest and driest of the last decade." "And the end of this heat wave is nowhere in sight..." "Used to the heat, are you?" " More or less." " Why do you ask?" "You're hardly sweating at all..." " May I ask where you're coming from?" " Oklahoma." "Pretty hot over there too, isn't it?" "Hot enough." "It's been three weeks like this." "We could use a good storm." "You've had no rain for three weeks?" "This idiot!" "Are you crazy, you moron!" "?" "Berlin Fire Department" "Disaster Assistance of Berlin." "Good afternoon." "Please, take it easy!" "Disaster Assistance of Berlin." "Good afternoon." "Here." "Kreuzberg's water pressure is low." "We've gotta do something about that." "I'll inform Water  Sanitation." "Thanks." "This heat is killing me." " Hello, Andreas!" " Hi!" "Hey, His Excellency the Regional Director of Civil Protection." "And a tie to match!" "Don't you have anything to do?" "Perhaps the City of Berlin could get me a new air conditioner." "I bet you have one in your new office." "Sure, and icicles on my desk." " It still won't start?" " Nope." "Fuel pipe's gone." "Needs a new one." "Let me see." "Berlin-Brandenburg Meteorological Center" " Albert!" " Yes..." "The grill and the meat are ready for tonight, and the staff will be on time." "Just do me a favor, try not to spill the beans." " Sure thing!" "Albert!" " Chief." " Yes?" "The Farmers Association is asking when it will rain again." "Because of the crops..." "With this humidity, they'll get more rain than they're asking for." "Right!" "I told them it would definitely rain again when the holiday starts." "And then two weeks without stopping." "Come here." "Look at this cold front." "What do you think?" "Looks pretty strong." "It's west of us though." "It'll pass." "Anyway, keep an eye on it." "Will do!" "280 km west of Berlin" "Is someone there?" "Jan?" "What are you doing here?" "I thought you were in Geneva." "I just got back, sis." "Is this your new workplace?" " Yeah, do you like it?" "Yeah, it's nice!" "It's really nice!" "I think of you while I work." "No wonder I haven't made any money." "Wait." "Feel the wind." "It's like they're alive." "You always said the wind was alive." "Yes, I did." "Could you see yourself with one of those guys?" "Maybe..." "I dunno." "They're too immature, like little kids..." "For the first time, I want a guy who's at least twenty." " Hi." " Hey." "We're going windsurfing this weekend." "Wanna come with?" "Hey, look!" "You haven't seen this yet!" "So how are you getting there?" "You know, my van's big enough for six people." "Okay, we'll go." "Cool." "Georg?" "What is it, boy?" "News Channel N24" "The high pressure front has stabilized." "It seems the heat wave will reach its peak in the coming days." "Sylvia, I don't have time to talk." "As much as I want, I can't take this weekend off." "Lisa, my angel..." "Of course..." "Lisa, do me a favor." "Pass the phone to mommy, okay?" "Yeah?" " Goodbye." "Sylvia, I've asked you several times, leave her out of this." "Of course I want to see her, but this isn't a good time." "She has all summer and I..." "Sylvia?" "Shit." "Is this damn weather reporter done or not?" " It's hot here!" " There's no clouds in the sky!" "Nope, not one." "Excuse me, Sophie." "It's strange." "I feel like a storm's coming." "You always were the best barometer in the family." "That wine was for tonight!" "Oh well, I guess I'll drink with you." " Don't leave your things lying around." " Sorry, Sophie." "Careful!" " Thanks." "Cheers." " Cheers." "So what's tonight?" " What?" "I thought that's why you came, for dad's birthday." "Bruno is throwing him a surprise party." "I didn't hurt anyone, did I?" "Eva's going too..." "Of course, we as a people are doing nothing to help the climate." "We are simply watching." "Dad!" " Happy, happy birthday!" "Thank you, dear." "You managed to surprise me." "Congratulations." "Can I ask why you haven't talked to me in four years?" " What went wrong this time?" " Glad to see you too, dad." "Bruno!" " The ghost returns." " Shut up!" "I'd like to introduce Karl Heinz and Petra..." "Want a beer?" "This is my daughter, Sophie." " Mom!" " Don't you think it's a little early?" "Everyone's on the pill." "Okay." "But about this weekend you'll have to ask your father." "I can't promise anything." "Dad, this weekend Katrin and I wanted to go windsurfing with some friends." " Don't even think about it!" " Why not?" " How are you getting there?" " Michael has an RV." "Oh, an RV!" "With many bunks, huh?" "Very cozy?" "And which one is Michael?" " The one with a tattoo." "Which one doesn't have a tattoo?" "Going around all painted, listening to heavy metal!" "I can't believe this." "What did I do wrong?" "Tine, you're not going and that's final." "It's just for the weekend." "Two miserable days, can't you see?" "We'll wait for your grades first, okay?" "I hate this!" "You're such a nerd, you know that?" "And thanks for your help, mom." "Nerd?" " I think our daughter's in love." "Tine..." "Tine..." "Nerds don't ride Harleys." "I'm sure he was glad to see you." "Yeah well, he's a master of disguise." "You know since mom died, he's been even more introverted." "Don't give me that, Sophie." "And why didn't you tell him about the proposal in Geneva?" "The World Meteorological Organization was always his dream." "He'll be happy." "God, this heat is killing me." "Hello, my angel." "Sorry I couldn't get out earlier." " Are you Karl?" " Yes." " I'm Jan, how are you?" " Jan, Sophie's brother?" " Yeah." " Good." "Nice to meet you." " Is she pretty?" " Sorry?" "The reason why you were late." "Is she pretty?" "Okay, I confess." "She's hot, total sex bomb." "You caught me." "You know how men are." " How is Eva doing?" " She should be here any minute." " You guys still together?" " And for the next 1000 years." "Eva and I, we were made for each other." "It's like magic or something." "Hey, you're not still jealous, are you?" "No, why do you ask?" "I mean, you stole my job." "My father adores you." "You took my girlfriend." "Now I'm wondering if I should give you my clothes too." " This shirt, for example." " No, that's alright." "Maybe your shoes." " Hey..." "Seriously?" " I'm not jealous." " Have you looked in a mirror lately?" " Are you crazy?" "This is a new shirt!" "Gimme that!" "Some things never change." "Princess!" "Look who's here." " What are you doing here?" " I came to congratulate my father." "Liar!" "So, don't I get a hug?" "I don't know why he's back now either." "Sophie, what I wanted to tell you is..." "Well, look at that." "Finally got around to a visit." " Happy birthday, Dr. Berger." " Thank you." "This is for you." "Thanks very much." "Say, Karl." "You must fetch a nice paycheck, with the hours you're working." " Dad, what are you doing!" "?" " It's enough." "I was just asking, since your divorce you must have obligations with your other family?" "I didn't know you smoked cigars..." "Thanks." " How long are you staying?" " Depends." "I've missed you, you know." "Me too." "Jan, Eva and I are going to the Baltics this weekend." "Come with us!" "Jan needs money first, so we'll have to find him a job." "I have a job." "With Dr. Seitz." "GlobalCare Insurance" " Berlin Office" "Yes..." "Good to see you." "Welcome to our company." " Thank you." "Pleased to be here." " Sit." "To be frank, your letter surprised me a bit." "After four years in America researching tornadoes, the work here may seem a bit dry." "It won't." "Meteorological analysis?" "It's mainly statistical." "Numbers." "Desk work." "What does your father think about this decision?" "The decision is strictly my own, Dr. Seitz." "Very well, let's cut to the chase." "What do you think of this?" "In the United States I saw these images all the time." " Did anyone see what happened?" " No." "Not surprising, given where he was found." "It could've happened within 10-20 seconds." "We are currently conducting a study of violent weather phenomena in Europe with regard to climate change." " Global warming?" " Yes." "We're expecting more extreme weather conditions in the future, for which we must prepare." "Perhaps you should observe the situation for yourself." "See that one?" "He's got a nice ass." " Don't you think about anything else?" " No." "Just look at him." "I bet he's great in bed." " And how would you know that?" "Simple." "If you wanna know how good a guy is in bed, just look at his ass." "It's like a law of nature." " Hello." " Hi, Michael." "You two wanna go to a party tonight?" " What party?" " It's an illegal club, but it's cool." "It'd be like practice for this weekend." "Sure, why not?" "Yeah?" "Cool." "Moabit Hospital in Berlin" "Epinephrine, 0.1 mg." "1000 ml of electrolyte infusion!" "More epinephrine." "Thank God!" "Everything alright?" "Not bad for your first time." "Keep it up, Eva." "The tracks end back there in the middle of the field." "We found the tractor about 800 meters further, completely trashed." "And the body?" "It was hung up there." "Who would do such a thing?" "Not "who"." "It's "what"." "Meindorf." " Hey, Bruno, it's me." "So, partner, how is the new job?" "More importantly, what is your new job?" "What's the ETA on the southwest cold front?" "Hang on." "It's large, but it's moving slowly." "It won't hit us today." "Maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow." "I think it will break today." "And it won't be the usual summer storm." "No way, the data says completely different." "It's all in the interpretation." "That's what I'm saying, smartass." "Bruno, do me a favor." "Can you get me the data from the last three days?" " Sure, why?" " If this cold front passes over Berlin, we could have a big problem on our hands." "We'll have a beer later and I'll explain everything." "Bruno, my father doesn't have to know, okay?" " Okay." " Thanks." "I still trim them, even though they'll be gone in a few weeks." "What happened?" "You look like you've seen a ghost." "Let's go inside first." "30 to 40 tornadoes per year in central Europe." "That's normal." "But what you're saying is happening here in Berlin." " Cheers!" " Cheers!" "The climate is changing." "It's exactly as we feared." "But you know that's the general opinion." "Just ask your father." "Mr. Know-It-All is full of opinions." "Just a few hundred years ago there were people burned at the stake for daring to say that the Earth revolved around the Sun." "But a storm is far from being a tornado, Jan." "But it can turn into one, you know that." "And you know that there have always been tornadoes in Germany." "Look, this print is from 1587, Augsburg." "First there was a long heatwave, and then came a huge storm." "The destruction must have been tremendous." "The men thought the finger of God touched the earth to take them to heaven and punish them for their sins." "If, by chance, Berlin suffers this destruction and we have to cover the damages, we'll be financially devastated." "You saw the data." "What do you think?" "Reminds me of Oklahoma." "A low pressure front, with more currents coming from south of the jet stream increased by strong changes in wind direction." "So?" "Maybe Berlin needs an emergency plan." "Emergency plans are for firefighters." "We get paid to sell insurance with well-calculated policy." "And if I do spin your theory, I'd be taking a very high risk." "Andreas Schütte?" " He's in the back room." "Thank you." "Andreas Schütte?" "Who's asking?" "Jan Berger, meteorologist." "I called your office." "They told me I'd find you here." "Broken transmission?" "No, it's new, but it's not working." "It's a pain in the ass." "It's a '78, right?" "I know a trick." "May I?" "Maybe now it'll work." "Finally!" "It's about time." "What can I do for you?" "Mr. Schütte, are you the man in charge of the city's alert system?" " No Mr." " Sorry?" "No need to be so formal." "I'll feel more at ease." "Okay." "Are you responsible for the alert system?" " What kind of alerts?" " Weather." "The media deals with that." "I'm not talking about a normal storm warning." "I'm talking about a state of emergency." "Two days ago there was a tornado 300 km west of here." "A tornado?" "Well, still 300 km is a fair distance." "Not for a cold front." "One death has already happened." "What are you trying to say?" "There will soon be tornadoes here in Berlin?" "We already have problems dealing with the heat." "The heat is exactly the problem." "The greater the mass of hot air, the greater the discharge when a cold front hits." " You mean to tell me..." " That's right." "Cars, exhausts, people, asphalt on the roads, all that accumulates heat." "It's merely a theory." "I'm not saying it will happen, but I think we should take the opportunity to warn people." "And the sooner, the better." "We don't have a warning system." "As far as I know." "The city has no money." "I hear it three times a day." "We don't even have air conditioning." " Who should I talk to then?" " Wittenberg." "He's a representative in the Berlin Senate." "But he won't budge if it's a risk to him." "We might not have much time." "Here's my number." "I'm sorry I couldn't do more to help you." "We'll see." "Thank you." " Thank you." " Goodbye!" "There is no sign of slowing this heatwave in the coming days." "With just a small chance of a storm occurring, officials are forecasting major traffic jams over the start of summer break." "Good!" "Excuse me." " Hello?" " It's me." " Hi." " What I was trying to say last night..." "Lisa wants to spend this weekend with me." "Great, we can finally meet." "I don't know if that's such a good idea." "She's only 8." "I don't know how she'd take it..." "What?" "You haven't told her about me?" " Don't be angry, Sophie." " Of course I'm angry." "We've been together for two years, and your divorce was settled months ago." "I know." "So what's stopping you from introducing me to your daughter?" "I understand, but it has to be the right time for Lisa." "Fine." "Call me when the time is right." "Sophie!" "It's cute when you're angry, sis." "I'm going to the pool." "I need to unwind." "Karl's working late at the station again." "You can come if you want." "Might do you some good." "No, no, it's okay." "I need sleep." "Take an umbrella." "Now which one of us is the barometer of the family?" "I'm asking you." "Please take it!" "How is the patient in bed three?" " She died this morning!" "There was nothing more we could do." "Don't beat yourself up." "You gave it your all." "They told me my wife was brought here last night." " See you tomorrow, chief." " Wait a moment, Bruno." "What is it?" "How is this possible?" "Prefrontal convergences." "Strong gusts developing from the front." "We must release a weather alert." "It's just like Jan said." "Inform the airports." "I will." "I just have to tell Eva." "So, Mrs. Doctor, How was your day?" "I'll tell you after the first bottle of wine." "Very tempting, but unfortunately I can't." "Great!" "The world is ending once again." "I was supposed to meet Jan. He wanted this data." " Want me to bring it to him?" " Yes, thank you!" "He'll be at that Italian place at 9 o'clock." "Will you be there?" "I will if I can, Princess." "Eva, tell him it's forbidden to mess with you, okay?" "Girls, the Harley is ready!" "Which of you wants to go for a ride first?" " Hi, darling." " Hey." " I'm going to the movies." " Where?" "The Sony Center." " How were your grades?" " They're good." "Just make sure you're back by 11." " Mom?" "Why are you asking your mother?" "It's a weekday." "So I have to leave before the movie's over?" "Midnight." "But take your cellphone with you, okay?" " See you later, honey." " See you later, mom." "What about me?" " See you later, dad." " Bye, honey..." "Midnight, okay?" "Well, how about we take a ride together." "Huh, honey?" "Have you looked outside?" "It's going to rain." "Maybe next time, okay?" " Tine!" " Hi!" "You rule!" "Thanks." "First round is on me." " Tequila, Mai Tai, Caipi?" " Beer." " Yeah?" " Jan, where are you?" " Eva?" " You had a meeting with Bruno." " Shit!" "I did." "What time is it?" " Almost 10." "Tell Bruno I'll be right there." " He's still working." " What do you mean?" "Don't you see the storm outside?" "But I have the data for you, assuming you're coming to get it." " Jan?" " Yeah, yeah, I'm on my way." "Hello, Eva." " In a hurry, all of a sudden." " Sorry, I fell asleep." "I could go for another wine." "You?" "Excuse me, two more wines, please?" " Here." "Compliments of Bruno." " Ah, yes." "Much obliged." " So, you're okay?" " Here we go." "Thank you." "Didn't care much these last four years." "Don't go there." "You have no idea." "Did you think about me?" "Yes, I did." "I hated you mostly." " Yeah..." " You just disappeared!" "You knew I wanted to go to America." " Yeah, but you still said nothing to me." " You were with Bruno." "So you thought you could just leave?" "Enough of this crap!" "Where did this come from?" "From Bruno, or from my father?" "You haven't changed one bit, you know that?" "Guys, don't just stand here." "There's no time for that." "Quickly." "Send teams into the street." "We need pictures for the news and interviews." "Let's go!" "Gather all the material we have on file about climate and thunderstorms." "Then call the weather station and ask them what the hell this is." "Actually, don't worry about it." "I'll do it myself." "We can't afford to waste time." "Is anyone there?" "Can somebody help me?" "Jan?" "Shit." "I'll get him out of the car." "Stay there!" "Weather station, Berger speaking..." "Karl." "I'm calling from the network, strictly business." "Dr. Berger, directly from you, what's making it hail..." "It's basically a normal phenomenon, ocurring as follows:" "A frozen water droplet is cycled through a thunderstorm, rising and re-freezing in multiple layers." "That would cause a downpour of hail." "So from my understanding, you can't explain what just happened." "No, that's not what I said, and I don't like your tone." "Goodbye." " Dr. Berger..." " Just what I need!" "We need more ambulances." "Call all prevention personnel!" "Andreas..." "It's the police." "They have Tine." "Hold on!" "Yes?" "Sophie!" "Finally!" "I was so worried about you." " Are you okay?" " Yeah." "Thank God!" "What happened?" " Nothing special." "I was alone..." "I was so scared." "My God, Tell me what happened." "I ran out of light." " You know I love you." " I love you too." "Thank you for being here." "Tine, wait." "When are you going with us?" "Leave her alone." "She's not going anywhere." "She doesn't go anywhere." "Listen to me." "Leave my daughter alone, or we'll both have serious problems." "Apparently, she already has a big problem." "So, how was the movie?" "Son of a bitch!" "What's so funny..." "Come on, what's so funny?" "Hey, come here..." " Did you pay?" " What?" " At the restaurant!" " No, did you?" "Don't." " Hey." " Hey." "Did you see the amazing hail we got?" "We were in the middle of it." "Eva can tell you how it was." " Thanks for the data." " No problem." " Here." " Thanks." " See you soon." " See you." " Is he a good kisser?" " What?" " Jan, is he a good kisser?" " Are you crazy?" "Seriously." "Do I have to be worried about this?" "Bruno, I like that you worry about me, but not about this." "That's not all that drives me crazy." " Bruno!" " What is it, princess?" " The clinic..." " What's happening at the clinic?" "Bruno, I work at the clinic." "Yeah." "Okay..." "The clinic." "Okay." "You know the feeling when you want to leave everything behind?" "No." "What is it?" "Did something happen?" "Nothing happened." "It's just that sometimes I feel like I'm just going through the motions." "Don't worry too much." "You're the best doctor in the world." "You know it's true." "You just have to get it in your thick head." "You need to have more confidence in yourself." "There's a million reasons to believe." " Really?" " Definitely!" "What's happening to my little girl?" "Your girl is 15 years old, going through puberty, and is testing her limits." "She thinks I'm a nerd." "You are an nerd." "You don't realize that some things change." "What has changed that much?" "In the past, you had almost no time for her." "Now, after your promotion, you're here all the time." "You just make her nervous, she feels like she's walking in circles." "What should I do then?" "Go away?" "No, of course not." "Just don't worry about her so much." "Don't make that face." " What about Lisa?" " I'll break it to her softly." "When are you going to do that?" " Thank you." " Do you want me to stay?" "No." "Tomorrow you gotta leave before my mom gets home." "Okay." "Thank you for letting me sleepover." "Sophie?" "Is everything okay?" "Sophie?" " What happened?" " Nothing." " How did you get hurt?" " Leave me alone!" "Why are men so cowardly?" "I don't know if I should go with you." "My dad would kill me." "So I guess you can say goodbye to Micha." "I think things are going too fast anyway." "I thought that maybe Micha was different." "I don't know." "You get to decide when you want it." "Your first time was good, wasn't it?" "Don't tell me it was a disaster!" "I still haven't..." "Berlin Fire Department" "Your phone was in the bathroom." "I hate it when you leave your things lying around." " Andreas Schütte." " Oh, thank you..." "Jan, finally." "I kept calling." "I arranged a meeting with Wittenberg." "What?" "When?" "Now. 10am at City Hall." "I want you to be there." "Sure, I will." "Tine?" ""Don't worry." "I'll be in touch." Tine" "Berlin City Hall" "Hello, Dr. Berger." "I see you brought an expert." "Good morning, dad." "He alerted me to the situation, after all." " Good morning, gentlemen." " Good morning." "If you would be brief." "Mr. Schütte, please." "We all realize yesterday's chaos." "The streets were clogged." "Our vehicles were delayed in reaching the wounded..." " Was anyone seriously injured?" " Thankfully, no." "But it proved to us that if the event reoccurs we can warn the population in time." "However, this scenario is extremely rare, isn't that right, Dr. Berger?" "In the past, it was, but not anymore." "May I ask who this man is?" "My name is Jan Berger." "I'm a meteorologist." "A son in the same field?" "Not surprising." "Does he work for you?" "I work in the climate research division for a large insurance firm and have spent the last four years in America, researching tornadoes." "I contacted Mr. Schütte and am of the opinion that Berlin is faced with a threat that is completely overlooked." "Our findings indicate that we're clearly facing a permanent change in weather patterns." "We are not a panel of experts, Mr. Berger." "Get right to the point." "The point is the lack of early warning in Berlin." "Over the past 10 years, we have seen an increase in extreme weather events in Germany that arise abruptly and without warning." "Hail, as we saw yesterday, establishes the ideal conditions for the appearance of tornadoes." "That is enough." "If I understand this correctly, Mr. Schütte, you want to implement an early warning system?" "Exactly, yes." "How many such events have we experienced in Berlin in the past 30 years, Dr. Berger?" "Like the large hailstorm yesterday, maybe two times, three, tops." "Tell me, Mr. Schütte, is this just a clumsy attempt to get more funds for the fire department?" "Listen, Dr. Wittenberg." "About two days ago, there was a tornado 300 km west of here." " What are you talking about?" " You've piqued my curiosity." "But do you have evidence to support this daring theory of yours?" "There were no witnesses, but this is normal." "A tornado may last as long as 30 minutes or be gone in 30 seconds." "Unfortunate..." "Dr. Berger, your assessment?" " This situation is very unlikely..." " That is an incorrect assumption!" "Thank you, Mr. Berger, but the question was for your father, Dr. Berger." "The chance of a tornado developing in the Berlin area is, concurrent to general scientific opinion, very small." "Mr. Schütte, are you hearing this?" " Since there is no evidence..." " I have all the data right here I shall have to deem this a dismal attempt from the officers of Berlin to exploit the city funds." "And to you, Mr. Berger, data and statistics often show us what we want to see." "And while you are not employed in any official capacity, your opinions are irrelevant, and you are not welcome in this building in the future." "This conversation has ended." "Good day." "Is there a reason you took sides with that bastard?" "His presence here was not justifiable." "Never put me in a position like that again." "It will happen." "I'm 100% sure of it." "Car accident." "Wasn't wearing a seatbelt." "He was thrown through the windshield." " Vital signs?" " Respiration is weak." "Blood pressure is 80/140." "Possible internal bleeding." "Alert Surgery immediately." "Come on, Eva." "This man needs our help." "Complete blood analysis." "One, two, three." "Bring in six units of O negative." "Two 1000 ml units of plasma substitute." "Don't just stand there?" "Hurry up and intubate." "And the surgeon?" " 15 minutes." " Shit, we don't have that long." "Quickly, or he'll die on us." "Lindze, take over." "Not feeling well, Eva?" "Take the rest of the day off." "And actually get some sleep!" "Ketamine, intravenous." "Hurry!" "You need to hurry!" "Go on!" "Get out of here!" "I'm stuck!" "Jan!" "Get out of here!" "Jan!" "Jan!" " Well?" "What did Wittenberg say?" " That I want to blackmail the city." " Forget about it." " Did you find anything?" "There's no plans for an alert system that I could find." "Only the leftover speakers on the streets." "Used to sound off the bells." " What bells?" " The church bells." "Hi, this is Doris Schütte." "Is there any chance that Tine is with your daughter?" "...No..." "Yeah, or actually it's not okay, but thanks anyway." "GlobalCare Insurance" " Berlin Office" "Yeah." " Why didn't you tell me?" " About what?" " About what?" "About the tornado, man." " Did you talk to my father?" "Do you have any idea how pissed he is?" "I can imagine." "Anything new?" "I just got a phone call from a weather station southwest of here." "They think what they're seeing is a supercell." "Maybe they're preparing for something much bigger than we expected." " Is the van ready?" " Ready and rarin' to go, baby." " Good." "Be there in 20 minutes." "Breitscheid Square in Berlin." "In the morning after the storm, most of the damage has been removed" "Where tourists are now standing, just a few hours ago people were running for their lives." "At roughly 8:15 last night, the Berlin fire department declared a state of emergency." "Over 1,500 men were mobilized." "An outdoor concert was interrupted." "A weather warning was issued, but nobody anticipated such intensity and violence." "Now, how do you want to do it?" "Do what you want." " Mr. Schütte." " Father Wagner." " Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." " I'm not used to the silence." " Do you attend church?" " Rarely." "So I assume that you and your family are well?" "Yes, we're fine." "Unless you ask my teenage daughter." "She thinks I'm the biggest nerd of the century." "It happens in the best of families." "Probably, yeah..." "You called me because of these problems with your daughter?" "Did you know that the old church bells were used as an emergency warning?" "Yes, of course." "Why do you ask?" "We may need them again." "Last night, rail transportation in Berlin was shutdown." "Tree trunks several meters long blocked the tracks." "The streets were impassable..." "Sylvia, it's me." "Sorry if I was a jerk." "Of course, I can take Lisa." "I'd be happy to." "No, seriously." "I'll pick her up tomorrow morning." "Give her a kiss from me, okay?" "Bye." "...the storm also hit Bavaria, Saxony, and northern Germany." "Berlin-Brandenburg Meteorological Center" "So are we going or not?" " We can't go." "You'd better leave." " No, wait." "Did I miss something?" "Do you really think I would allow this center's time and money to be wasted on your fantasies?" "Tornadoes in Berlin, ridiculous!" "Do you know what will happen when this cold front reaches Berlin?" "We have work to do." "Serious, hard work." "It would be best if you left." "Immediately!" "Please, listen to me for once." "You haven't seen what I've seen." "Why don't you ask Dr. Seitz?" "Maybe he'll get you a van." "You're afraid that I might be right." "I can't go without a driver, you know that." "The only person who can help me now is Sophie and she's blind." "Maybe you can convince Eva." "She had the day off today, under the weather." "Thank you, partner." "But only if you promise to take care of her for me." "I promise." " Promise?" " Promise." "Thank you." "Where are the folders from last week?" "Should I speak louder?" "This cannot be true." " Call the police." " What?" "I don't want to interfere, but I think that's going too far." "We still need to talk." "What are you doing here?" "I heard you needed a distraction." "How about a ride?" " Now?" " Yeah." "I promise your mood will improve dramatically with the chance to see a real supercell." " A real what?" " The chance to see a real tornado." " So?" " So what?" "Dammit!" " Did she call?" " No, no calls." "Stop." "Okay, what are we doing here?" "We're trying to find the supercell." "And what is that?" "A huge thunderstorm with updrafts." "And what does that have to do with tornadoes?" "When a cold front meets a mass of warm air it generates a sudden low pressure system which sucks all the air masses around them." " Like emptying a bottle." " What?" "Turn it over." "It rotates, forming a small whirlpool." "The suction creates a whirlpool that spins faster and faster as the bottle empties." "Just imagine this force, only a million times stronger." "The supercell sucks in all the air, and when those winds come in contact with the ground, they give them the name..." " Tornadoes." "Exactly." " When will we see one?" " Only when it wants to be seen." "Onward, please." "Hi." " Can I help you?" " No, sorry, I..." "Who is it, Susa?" " Hey, this is a surprise." " Hi, Michael." "What's going on?" "Did you change your mind?" "Come in." "I forgot..." "Let me introduce you." "Susa, this is Tine." "Tine, this is Susa, my sister." "Oh my God!" "Dear Eva, that is a supercell..." " And you want to get closer to it?" " We're still in the clear." "Turn right ahead, at that country road." " It's the police." "What do you want me to say?" " Don't tell me Jan is going there." "Stop right there." "What do we do now?" "Hope." "Maybe something will happen, maybe not." "But regardless of what does, don't leave the van." "What the hell..." "I think it'll start hailing soon." "Shit!" " Bruno?" " Eva, thank God." "Where are you?" "I'm observing the supercell." " Where are they?" " No, no, no." "You're inside it." "Get out of there immediately!" "What?" " Eva?" " Bruno?" "Shit, shit!" "Shit." "Jan!" "Jan, Bruno said we should get out of here!" "Jan!" "Shit!" "Jan, get out of there!" "Jan!" "It started!" "We gotta go!" "Now!" "Don't panic." "Nothing's going to happen." "Get back on the road." "I'll just take a couple more photos." "Jan!" "Jan!" "Eva, hit the gas!" "Get out of here!" "The threat is far from over." " We have to warn the city." " You are the last to tell me what to do!" "This is the reality, don't you get it?" "She could have been killed, you bastard!" "Stop it, both of you!" "When you know the future..." "Berlin is a target for catastrophe." "Disaster has always been and will always be." "Will you be able to change it?"

" Jan, I'm putting my job at risk." " You're putting human lives at risk." "I've learned more about tornadoes in 4 years in America, than you have in a lifetime." "But you also left America."

"Of course, you can see my eyes." "I know this isn't the right place, or even the right time." "I love you." "Lower down." " Tine, finally." " Hello, mom." " Where are you?" "Bring me updates every five minutes." "The wind has changed direction as you can see behind me..." "What happened?" "Where can we sit down?" "Previously..." "May I ask where you're coming from?"

"Wake up!" "Come on!" "We need to go further inside!" "C'mon!" "C'mon!" "Hold on!" "Are you okay?" "Yeah, and you?" " Alright." " Hello?" " We're safe." " Yeah." " Thank God, it's over!" " Yeah."

"GlobalCare Insurance" " Berlin Office" "There was a second tornado." "Much stronger than the first." "I think we need to warn people." "Berlin is a target for catastrophe." "Disaster has always been and will always be." "Our job is to calculate the consequences." " But what about the victims?" " The victims?" "Think about the survivors." "Without insurance, they will have nothing." "That is the abstract side of history." "No." "It is the human side, Jan. Believe me." "I'm stuck!" "Hurry!" "You need to hurry!" "Go on!" "Get out of here!" "I can't move, Jan!" "Jan, get out of here!" "Jan!" "I can't move, Jan!" "Get out of here, Jan!" "Jan!" "Yeah, but dad has a different opinion." "He is the expert after all."

" Put this away." " Okay." " Schütte." " What?" " Where?" "Any pictures?" " No, all the equipment was totaled." " What have you found out about the warning system?" " You won't like the answer." " I'm listening." "News Channel N24" "Just tell them what you told me." "Understood." "Hans Hermann." "This is our guest, Jan Berger." "Nice to meet you." "Please, sit." "Thank you." " Are you ready, Jan?" " Yes." "Proceed." "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the evening news." "Bruno, come here." "Our guest in the studio tonight is meteorologist Jan Berger." "Welcome." "Who has some bad news about the weather." "He's already on television?" "Tornadoes require certain conditions such as extremely high humidity in masses of hot air." "When a cold front meets these masses of hot air, then comes what we call vertical wind shear, which fulfills the necessary conditions." "No one can predict when a tornado will form, but the sub-elements are there." "So how can we warn the population in case of an emergency?" "An example would be an early warning system." "Since the destruction of the Wall, the air raid sirens have ceased operation." "What were you doing in Tine's room?" "Me?" "Looking under her bed." "We've seen both in the past two days." "Jan Berger is being interviewed on H24." "I insist you watch it." "Excuse me." "Tomorrow I want to see Schütte and Berger." "It's incorrect to think the unequal air pressure could cause windows to explode." "Opening or closing windows is time wasted running around when you should be taking shelter." "The wind causes damage, not the pressure." "You mentioned two tornadoes near the city of Berlin." "Can you tell us where they appeared?" "Yes." "The first was 300 kilometers away, and the second, 100 km to the southwest." "If the cold front continues moving, it leaves Berlin at risk for more." "Cool." "You still want to go?" "He's just scaring us." "We're not in danger." "So you're saying a tornado could form in the middle of Berlin?" "I firmly believe that it will happen, sooner or later." "Last question." "Do you have any evidence to support your theory?" "I personally witnessed the second tornado." "That's all." "Any concrete evidence?" "Video or photographs?" "Unfortunately, my camera was destroyed." "10 seconds." "So this is just speculation?" "Mr. Berger, thank you for your overview." "And to our viewers, continue..." "If Dr. Berger sees that, he'll have a stroke." "I think that was a brave move on Jan's part." "Yeah." ""Jan Berger, our hero!"" "All he did was scare people, nothing more." "But it's true, Bruno." "I saw it with my own eyes." "Don't you believe me?" "That's crazy." "Of course, I believe you, Eva." "The way you acted in the parking lot made me nervous." "I was afraid of losing you." "And I still am." "Ever since Jan returned..." " Bruno." " Let me speak." "...I don't know what to do." "You're the only person in this heat swimming in an indoor pool." "Hello, baby brother, how did you get in?" "Where there's a will, there's a way." "Should we be worried about a tornado?" "We should be worried about Michael." "If she doesn't call tomorrow, I'll go to the police." "Remember when we used to come here with mom?" "Yeah." "I also remember that father didn't come with us." "Do you only remember the bad stuff about our father?" "Yeah, well, he treated you differently." "He was always worried about you." "And now I'm worried about him." " He changed a lot after mom's death." " I wouldn't know." " I don't remember him being very emotional." " Stop it." "You know how he is." "His hair could be caught on fire, and he won't raise his voice." "Right." " I know someone else like that." " Let's change the subject." "Okay?" "You and Karl thinking about having kids?" "Let's change the subject, okay?" "Okay." " I just want him to be faithful to me." " He is, Sophie." "Yeah, so much that he doesn't introduce me to his daughter." "Don't you think you're being a little selfish?" "That may be true." "But just because I'm disabled, that doesn't mean I can't be." "Do me a favor." "Don't talk about that." "Then do me a favor and stop bad-mouthing dad." "Damn." "What is it?" "Bruno's here." "The Raging Bull." "Cut it out." "Hi, Sophie." "Hi, Bruno." "Sophie, take this inside." "I'll be right back." "That's always what you say before you take off with Bruno." "I heard that." "Have fun." "Thanks." "Well?" "Well?" "Okay, I admit." "This morning, I overreacted." "I lost my temper." "Me too." "I was just scared." "I didn't mean to drag Eva into this." "I'm sorry." "Truce?" "Yeah." "Wanna get a beer?" " I thought you had the night shift." " Jan, for once in your life, be creative." "You can't have one without the other." "You're right." "Let's go." "Sophie, don't worry." "It's me." "Dad?" "What are you doing here?" "Sophie, how could you let Jan make that ridiculous television appearance?" "And without coming to me first!" "Was it Karl's idea?" "We're old enough to make our own decisions." "But you don't see the consequences of this!" "You're not always right." "Jan is a meteorologist, just like you!" "Sophie, you not wanting to see." "That's a first!" "If your dad could see us here, you'd be arrested and I would be fired." ""This is an inexcusable disregard for the rules." "Now, take away my son and publicly shoot him in accordance with law!"" "Sounds like him." "Was it really that bad today?" "Yeah." "As in Oklahoma?" "No." "What happened over there?" "Insurance work is not for you." "I don't understand." "That tornado passed over my head." "Even after two days, my ears are still ringing." "Honestly, Bruno." "You cannot imagine the fury and the instability of it." "I saw someone die, someone I knew, and I couldn't do anything to save them." "I'm surprised I'm even still alive." "Get it?" "All I want is a stable office, with a stable chair at a stable desk, and a constant salary." "At least, now you're closer to Eva." "What does that mean?" "Come on." "You can't fool me." "What?" "At the time, she picked you." "Maybe." "Or maybe because you left." "Wait." "What is it?" "I..." "I can't." "Not with people around." "It's still my first time." "We've got all weekend." "It's okay." "Shit." "Bruno." "Bruno!" "Hey, Bruno." "Wake up." "What is it?" "My father will be here any minute." "Help me clean up." "Shit, look at that." "Hello, my angel." "You forgot about me." "How could I forget?" "It was busy, and I got in a traffic jam." "Okay, let's go." " How was your flight?" " Good." "Yeah?" " And the stewardess?" " Friendly." "Mr. Schütte, I cannot avoid suspicion that this television appearance is a further move to extort the city's finances." "Berlin City Hall" "I only passed on information that was available to the general public." "I would restrain from doing so in the future." "In addition, you will forward all further requests for the city through the press office, unless you care to risk losing your new position." "And to you, Dr. Berger, does the blame for this fall upon you or your son?" "Dr. Wittenberg, I don't care to repeat myself, but my influence on my son's actions is limited." "This unfortunate television appearance was entirely his doing." "Deal with this situation quickly, Dr. Berger, or I will be forced to assume you are a part of this as well." "Have I made myself clear, gentlemen?" "Dismissed." " Yes?" " What?" " Can't you deal with this alone?" " Okay." " Okay, I'll call." "Can't you put that down, dad?" "It's away now, I promise." "I took the day off to be with you." "Lisa?" "There's a friend of mine who wants to meet you." "Is that okay?" "You said we're going go to the TV Tower today." "We'll go there too." "How about we do it together?" "She's very nice." "I promise." "It'll be a lot of fun." "Hello?" "I have to be at work." "Do me a favor." "Keep me posted." "Anytime." "Just before your father fires me." " No problem." "Oh, yeah." "Thank you, "darling"." "Do me a favor." "Behave yourself." "My dad's already in the hall." "Just like a movie." "Morning." "Good morning, chief." "Easy, easy." "Let me do it." "Ready." "Let's rock and roll!" " Hello." " Sophie, it's me." " I'm at the door." "What do you want?" "Come on, open up." "I'm not alone." "Hello, Sophie." "Hey." "Come on, Lisa." "This is the friend I told you about." "Sophie this is Lisa." "Hi, Lisa." "Papa said you were blind." "Can I see your eyes?" "Lisa!" "Of course, you can see my eyes." "That's cool." " She doesn't like me." " She's just shy." " Yeah?" " Yes." "Of course." "GlobalCare Insurance" " Berlin Office" " This may become a supercell." " We've issued a storm warning." " To the southwest?" " Not bad." "How did you know?" " What else?" "Berlin Fire Department" " Disaster Assistance of Berlin." "Good afternoon." " Schütte." " What direction do your windows face?" " All of them." " What can you see to the southwest?" " My God, what is that?" " A supercell." " A huge storm front with circulating updrafts." " What does this mean?" " We need to raise the alarm." " I can't." " Wittenberg wasn't thrilled with your TV stint last night." " Jan, I'm putting my job at risk." " You're putting human lives at risk." " How much time do we have?" " I can't say." " I'll see what I can do." "Attention." "Attention." "This is the Berlin Fire Brigade." "This is a severe storm warning." "Attention." "Attention." "This is the Berlin Fire Brigade." "This is a severe storm warning." "Seek shelter, and wait for weather to improve." "Attention." "Attention." "Close windows and doors, and wait for weather to improve." "Hey, hands off!" "Attention." "Attention." "This is the Berlin Fire Brigade." "This is a severe storm warning." "So much fuss over nothing." " What?" " Are you crazy?" " Get everyone on the street, now!" " I'll be there in 10 minutes." "Are you serious?" "Sorry, I have to leave." "The station is in chaos." "Really?" "You can't leave me with her." "Papa, I don't wanna be alone." "You're not alone, honey." "There's nothing I can do." "I'll be quick." "Okay?" "Back soon." "What shall we do?" "They raised the alarm." " The cloud is gone." " I can't explain it." " Me neither." " Either way, this puts me in a difficult position." " Andreas, I'm sorry." " It was all there." " The front stopped suddenly and the pressure system dropped." " Unfortunately your pressure system won't give me back my job once Wittenberg eats me alive, Jan!" "Done!" "Finally, let's go." "Guys, I know you're tired." "It's been a long day." "But we have to stay on the ground." "My instinct tells me something's going to happen." "All teams must be ready to report." "If something happens, we interrupt the broadcast with breaking news, okay?" "The taxi's here." "Great, let's go downstairs." " We're going to the TV Tower." " See you there." "Come on." "I want ice cream." "We'll buy some when we get there." "I want seven scoops." "I think three is enough." "Five." "Fine, four." "Now let's go." "We're here." "Now get out." "Let's catch some waves." "Looks like Flo's catching "waves" of his own." "Eva Keil, call on line 3." " Eva Keil." " Yes, I'll accept the charges." " I have to see you." " Come see me tonight." " No, earlier." " What's the matter?" " I wouldn't have called if it wasn't urgent." " Yeah, okay, but I don't have much time." " Come through the emergency room." "At 11:15." " But don't be late." " Of course." "Dr. Seitz." "What happened?" "I recieved information which forced me to take safety measures." "Was anyone injured?" "Yes, but we don't have exact figures yet." "But the injuries were not caused by the storm?" "Not directly from the storm." "So overall it was a false alarm?" "Yes, it was a false alarm, but it can happen to the best." "Are you taking responsibility for this incident?" "It's my job." " Being responsible, what is your position?" " Of course I regret what happened." "Sorry, you have an important phone call." " No more questions." " Andreas Schütte." " I warned you, Schütte." " You have terrorized the people of this city without reason." " It was not my intent" " You have exceeded your powers, and cost thousands in damages." "I assure you, Schütte." "You will be suspended." " You can't do that." " I can do much more than that, Schütte." " I'll sue you and all involved on behalf of the city." "Then you can decide amongst yourselves who will pay for it." " Good day." "I'm going out for a bit." "Okay." "Why did you become a meteorologist?" "I dunno." "It excited me." "The danger excite you, as well?" "Maybe, yeah." "So what?" "You know that I, too, deal in dangers?" "They interest me, but don't excite me." "I calculate them as precisely as possible." "That's what they pay me for." "I do not like how you do your job." "You do not commit to it." "Dr. Seitz." "You are interested in many things, but not the interests of this firm." "You chase imaginary tornadoes." "In this business, there can be no compromises, Jan." "You must decide." "What's this?" "I've decided." "To leave this business, in favor of chasing imaginary tornadoes." " Bruno Meindorf for Eva Keil, please." " I'm sorry, she just stepped out." " Did she say where she was going?" " Good." " Tell her I called, and want to talk to her." " Thank you." "Berlin TV Tower" "That looks cool." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "I'm not as fast as you." "Sorry." "What a view!" "Cool." "Dr. Berger, you're a rational man." "Please, assure me that you had nothing to do with this false alarm." "I issued a weather watch." "But I did not authorize anti-disaster measures." "Good." "Here's what you need to do." "You'll accompany me to town hall." "I'll call a press conference, and you will convince the public there is no danger, now, or in the future." "I'm sorry, Wittenberg, I cannot do that." "What do you mean?" "I've worked 30 years as a meteorologist, 20 of them at this station, and I've never seen data such as this." "Embellishing danger and creating a panic is irresponsible." "But underestimation is stubborn and stupid." "The two combined are extremely dangerous." "Do you understand me?" "Now if you'll excuse me," "I have a job to do." "And to do it, I need advice from an expert." "I've had quite enough of these Bergers." "Where are you going?" "You won't get away with this." "Eva, I'm sorry I'm late." "I know this isn't the right place, or even the right time, but..." "I..." "I love you." "Why didn't you say that before you left?" "I have to leave again, Eva." "But I don't want to make the same mistake." "Jan, stop." "I want you to come with me." "Jan, I can't." "It's not that simple." "I don't want to pressure you." "Just think about it." "Please." "Eva Keil, call on line 1." " Eva Keil." " Eva, where have you been?" " At work, where else?" " I called, but you weren't there!" " Are you spying on me?" " Just tell me where you were." " I took a break." " And met up with Jan for a bit." " Bruno, what do you want?" "I'm busy." " Hey, don't talk to me like that." " You know what?" " Forget it, okay?" " Forget it." "Ah!" "Dr. Berger?" "Here?" "Looking to insure your weather station?" "Oh, right." "None of my business." "Spare me your tone, Wolfgang." "I'm looking for Jan." "Your son just quit." "Oh." "Why?" "I assumed he accepted an offer in Geneva." "But he obviously doesn't know what he wants." "But he knows what he does not want, Wolfgang." "To work for you." "There's huge clouds." "Dark ones." "Maybe we should wait for your dad in the lobby." "What do you say?" "Just kidding." "There's no clouds." "Can we get ice cream now?" "A promise is a promise." "Where can we sit down?" " We're going to the TV Tower." " See you there." "Sophie's not here." "Good, then we're alone." "After much consideration," "I've decided to support your thesis about the dangers of a tornado forming in the middle of the city." "Jan, I need your help." "Really?" "So you're saying I'm right?" "I'm saying that a tornado in Berlin is a possibility, yes." "But I don't agree with sending innocent people into a panic and putting their lives at risk." "This is ridiculous." "I'm just trying to warn people." "To call their attention to the danger that you kept secret." "Because you're a coward." "The renowned graduate, Dr. Berger, who prefers to hide behind a desk." "You have no right to tell me that." "You didn't even finish school." "You run away from things you don't understand." "No wonder you're unemployed." "I've learned more about tornadoes in 4 years in America, than you have in a lifetime." "But you also left America." "You neglected your duties there as well." "You're not a scientist, Jan." "You're a narcissist, who risks the lives of others just to prove yourself." "Shut up!" "I'm sorry." "You're packing your things?" "Running away?" "Oh, well." "Hi!" "What would you like?" "A cola for me, and a bowl of ice cream for her." " How many scoops?" " Four, please." "Anything else?" "That's all." "Do you wanna marry my dad?" "I..." "I don't know." "Do you wanna live with my dad?" "Yes, of course, I do." "You know, your dad and I..." "We like each other very much." "If you're gonna live with him, will he be able to call my mom and me?" "Of course, he can." "We'll see you more often." "I don't think so." "Why not?" "Because you can't see." "Now pick up the sail." "Slowly, one hand after the other." "Like this?" "Yep, get it to stand up." " Tine, finally." " Hello, mom." " Where are you?" " At the lake?" "Which lake?" " Hey, Bruno, what's up?" " I've never seen anything like this." " Why, what is it?" "What's the matter?" "What's going on?" "Why can't we hear him?" "Chief, I'm glad you're here." "Bruno." "Bring me updates every five minutes." "Just grab the sail." "Lower down." "Like this?" "For all emergency measures, Schütte needs the approval of Dr. Berger." "But I'm certain Dr. Berger will stall until the tornado personally rips apart his desk." "What do you think, Bruno?" "Should I issue a storm warning?" "Chief, if you ask me, I..." "Isn't it odd, Bruno?" "Having a boss who can't make his own decisions?" "Isn't it odd, Bruno?" "Having a child that can't see the truth?" " Weather station." "This is Berger." " Mr. Schütte, we have no alternative but to issue an alarm." " Contacting Wittenberg would be a waste of time." " I take full responsibility." "Goodbye." "What is that?" " What?" " That noise." "Without Wittenberg's approval, I don't know about this." "Who knows?" "Get these trucks on the streets." "What's the matter?" "Taking a nap?" "You heard what the boss said!" "Move!" "Come on!" "Yes!" " Hello?" " Where is she?" " Yeah." "I have to leave." "Leave?" "You can't!" "I can" "You're the boss." "Hurry up!" "I'm trying!" " C'mon!" " What are you doing?" "!" "Let's go!" "We gotta get outta here!" "It won't start!" "Run!" "Michael!" "Michael, wait for me!" "Michael!" "Where's Tine?" "There!" "With Michael!" "Come on, Michael!" "I'm trying!" "I can't get out!" "Come on!" "Tine!" "Run!" "Michael, run!" "Berlin-Brandenburg Meteorological Center" "I love her." " Who are you talking about?" " Eva." "I told her I loved her." "And now I guess you want to have kids with her?" "I'm not kidding, Bruno." "Let me tell you something." "We've already been through this." "Eva belongs to me." "Do you know why?" "Because it's fate." "And no Jan Berger in the world is gonna change that." "Leave me alone, Jan." "Taking the easy way out again?" "Yeah?" "Why didn't you take the offer in Geneva?" "It was your chance." "A world organization!" "A chance that others wouldn't have in a lifetime." "And you threw it away!" "You know, I don't get it." "Out there, thousands of people's lives are at stake!" "And you?" "You're stuck here with sentimental thoughts!" "You've got to help me!" "Please." "They're back!" "Thank God, nothing happened to you." "Michael." "Thank God!" "Are you alright?" "What about Flo?" "I gotta start smoking less." " You can count on me, Mr. Schütte." " I'll start immediately." "Bless me, Lord." "Good God, it's gaining strength and moving northwest." "If it maintains its course, it'll strike the TV tower." "Sophie's on the TV tower!" "All right, Jan." "You go get her." "I'll hold down the fort." "What are you waiting for?" " Berger." "Berlin TV Tower" "What's that?" "I dunno." " Let's go downstairs." " No, papa's coming." "Come on." "Please." "Where are you pulling me?" "To the binoculars." "There's a tornado straight ahead." "I've never seen anything like it." "I can't get through." "The wind has changed direction as you can see behind me..." "What happened?" "Shit, Sophie." "What do you see?" "Far away, there's a golden angel." "It's the Victory Column." "And there's a red house." "We urge the residents of Berlin to close all windows and doors." "If possible, stay in confined areas in the lowest levels of your home." "Dear visitors, may I have your attention." "Due to an internal malfunction, the observation desk as well as cafés and restaurants will be closed temporarily." "There is no danger." "More information..." "I repeat." "We urge the residents of Berlin to close all windows and doors." "Shit, I can't get through." "Wait, wait." "What?" "Can't you see?" "The elevator is full." "Stand back!" " What's going on?" " We have to wait." "According to reports, hundreds have been injured in Berlin." "Severe destruction has occurred in residential areas." "In a city caught off guard, it is unclear why a warning was given so late." "Screw this!" "I'm looking for my daughter!" "She's with a blind woman." "Many are still at the top!" "Are you crazy?" "I have to get up there!" " Where are you going?" " Top floor!" "Help!" "I'm in here!" "Sophie!" "Is there another way up there?" "Yeah, the fire exit." "You're bleeding." "It's nothing." " Where are the stairs?" " This way." "Give me your hand." "Who's there?" "Karl!" "Sophie!" "Papa!" "Lisa." "My angel." "I'm here." "The door won't open." "I found a knife." "Careful." "Stand back." "It's heading straight for us!" "Sophie, stop." "Get out of here!" "I'm not leaving without you." "Hell, Eva." "What's wrong?" "I don't know." "Then move your ass and help us!" "Don't you see what's going on here?" "If this storm continues, we're gonna need everyone!" "Understand?" "Everyone!" "Into the trauma room." "Sophie." "Thank God." "Jan, Karl's inside." "Let me try." "Karl!" "Yeah?" "Pull from inside." "That's it." "Come on." "Come on." "Papa!" "Sophie, we need to get downstairs." "C'mon." "Go!" "Papa!" " Where's Miss Keil?" " The trauma room." "Eva, are you okay?" "Bruno, help me." "What?" "No." "Bruno!" "I need your help." "What do I do?" "Gloves." "Hold the thread." "Damn." "Where's Karl?" "Sophie, regardless of what happens, stay here!" "That's it!" "I got you, Lisa!" "Grab my hand!" "Papa, help me!" "Hold on!" "Papa!" "Papa!" "The eye is almost here!" "When I say "Go", run to the elevator!" "As fast as you can!" "Go!" "To the elevator!" "Now!" "Watch your head." "Okay!" "Jan!" "Where's Jan?" "Good?" "Yes." "Okay, you can let go." "Eva." "I wanted..." "What Jan said..." "Bruno." "I know what I want." "Almost there." "That's it." "It's okay." "It's alright." "Sophie!" "Jan's up there!" "Sophie." "Do you love me that much, papa?" "Of course, my angel." "From now on, we'll see more of each other." "You and me." "Sophie can come too." "Really?" "You got along okay?" "Wonderful." "You know, Sophie and I..." "You're together." "Boyfriend and girlfriend." "Papa, I'm eight." "I know a lot." "It's alright." "It's okay." "Come on." "Two Days Later This tragic event taught us one thing." "The safety and security of the inhabitants of this city should be our main priority." "For this reason, we've decided without any opposition or resistance, to install the most advanced early warning system to better protect our people." "As you can see, these are more than just words." "They're actions." "My God." ""More than just words." "They're actions."" "Surprising how cool it is now." "Thank goodness." "I've had enough of the heat." "Not to mention the side effects." "Wait." "I could make a career in surgery if I wanted to." "Seriously?" "You should have seen me." "Dr. Meindorf." "You can ask Eva." "Yeah, except for the beads of sweat on your face." "Well, I think I did fine for a first timer." "Hi, Michael." " Hi." "Your parents home?" "Yeah." "Come with me." "I'll just say hello." "Let me introduce myself." "I'm Michael." "Hello." "Hi." "Micha?" "Yeah, um." "See you later." "Bye." "Well, I dunno." "Stop it." "He has a tattoo." "You're such a nerd, you know that?" "Nerds don't ride Harleys." "Sophie, Papa promised me we can go for a walk, and he'll leave his cellphone off." "Well, if Papa said so." "Jan. We should be going." "Your flight leaves in 45 minutes." "Right." " I hope my car starts." " Take mine, Dr. Berger." "It always starts." "I'll take this as a vote of confidence." "Take care of yourself, Karl." "You too." "And especially Sophie." "Promise me, you won't disappear again." "I'll visit as soon as I can." "Jan." "Maybe in the next life." "I'll reincarnate into Bruno." "Maybe you should clone me." "Idiot." " Take care, partner." " You too." " I'll miss you." " Me too." "Surgeon." "Behave yourself." "I'm glad you're going to Geneva." "It's very interesting work." "Maybe I'll learn a bit of scientific method." "I doubt it." "How long are you staying at the weather station?" "Why do you ask?" "Do you plan to stage a coup and take my station from me?" "And what?" "Hang out with Bruno every day, and get drunk on the roof?" "So that explains the drawer full of bottles." "Nothing escapes you, does it?" "Good luck, son." "Yeah." "You too, Dad." "Thank you."
