Das letzte Land (2019) - full transcript

Two dissimilar men flee from a desolate planet and search in space for a new home.

Stop!

The water is foul.

What kind of ship is this?

Stay where you are,
you kidding me?

What is this place?

Not sure.

Tell me right now what
kind of ship this is.

How did you find out about this?

Where did you find
out about this,

one of the other prisoners?

I found it.



301, come in
immediately.

I've got him.

Alive and well.

Quadrant 1138, repeat,
11, three, eight.

And there's some kind of
ship here in the desert.

A wreck of some kind, he
was trying to hide inside.

I'm gonna take a look around
and report back, over.

- Roger that.
- This is not a wreck.

- Leave the ship immediately.
- Copy that.

What's that supposed to
mean? "This is not a wreck."

The lever.

Have you gone mad?

Hey.

So there was a ship
laying in the desert



that is not a wreck
and you just found it.

Is that correct?

Yes but the operating
system won't boot up.

Boot up.

And you've flown before?

Any experience with space ships?

I worked in the ship yard.

Ship yard.

Try it again.

Go on, try it.

Seriously, have you gone crazy?

Take the mug.

Pour yourself some water again.

Drink.

Did you see any external
damage to the ship?

No.

Give me some water.

Do you think this
thing can still fly?

The heat works.

What are you?

Do you get a reward
if you take me back?

Now.

Ultraviolet.

Solar winds.

Gamma rays.

Just wanna know...

Come on, sit down.

All right, listen.

I've never seen a ship that was
crappier than this one here.

And I've never seen a
build like this either.

Absurd.

But it... can still fly.

Listen.

I may have a gun,

this uniform

but I'm just as disgusted
with this place as you are.

Where can we go?

This is 301.

The fugitive has resisted

and has fled north.

I am currently in
pursuit in quadrant 1156.

I repeat, quadrant
11, five, six, over.

Novak, how
the hell did that happen?

Is he armed?

They're gonna notice
something is off.

When the storm dies down and
visibility is back to normal,

they will capture us.

301, come in,
is the target armed?

So we have to make
sure we get off this

God-forsaken planet

before the storm passes.

Novak, do you read me?

What's this?

You're the engineer.

I thought you were the one
who worked in the ship yard.

Save it.

The ramp should go down
if I push this, right?

Move.

The emitters in the
engine need to be cleaned.

Should I do that?

That's what I was hinting at.

Still don't have any
oxygen supply, by the way.

Toss me the light.

Shouldn't you maybe
take care of the oxygen

first and then the hatch?

Like maybe set priorities.

The grime needs to be
cleaned off the emitters

and the propulsion unit,
that's your priority now.

Well what do I
use to clean them?

Use a rag.

What is it?

Nothing.

Such a mess.

The ramp is busted.

It's gonna have to
stay shut forever.

Uh, here.

Now listen to me, damn it.

If there is still soot in
the emitters when we decide

to take off, then
everything's gonna go to shit,

do you understand me?

Yeah.

Okay, now.

I could use a light down here.

Hey, could you wet
the rag for me?

Here.

Wait a second.

Hey, do you have any idea
what kind of ship this is?

Like, where do you
think it came from?

No!

Rag.

And the crew?

What kind of people were they?

Where were they heading?

I don't know.

Hey, just take the booze.

- Booze?
- Yeah.

Where?

In the lower
compartment next to the door.

You see it?

Okay.

Wanna know how I escaped?

I know how you escaped.

Then why did they
decide to send you after me?

I volunteered.

301, come in.

Nothing's a coincidence.

Novak, do you read me?

That's too soon.

All right, I think
it's all clean.

Novak, there hasn't
been anybody in 1156

for the last 32 hours.

Hello?

How much longer do you need?

I said I think
everything is clean.

You think it's clean or
is it actually clean?

Look, it's still
a mess back there.

What's your problem?

Hey, the storm hasn't
gotten any weaker.

Here, you have 30 seconds.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

Where are you?

Where are you?

301, report in
immediately, that's an order.

Novak, you are to exit the
ship at once, do you read me?

Hey.

What's going on?

This is 301, I read
you loud and clear.

I have the fugitive, I've always
been one step ahead of you

and I'm excited to say,
to you especially, Gago,

that we'll never meet again.

Good riddance and thanks
for nothing, over and out.

[Gago Novak, what
are you doing?

You said we had time
until the storm passes.

I was wrong, is
the engine clean?

Give me the lamp.

Novak, Novak, do
you intend to launch?

Get back, something's wrong.

- What is it?
- Here.

Does this mean that the
hatch has to close first?

Novak, that's madness.

Yeah, otherwise the
engine won't fire.

I'll take care of it.

Novak, I'm
talking to you, damn it.

Novak, you can't
start that ship up.

You're gonna blow
yourself to pieces.

Do it.

Novak, talk to me.

Hurry up!

Go, start it up.

Wait, not yet.

We're ready to
go, get out of there.

Wait, trying
to fix the light.

- Do it.
- Come on.

Start it up.

Where do you want me?

Close the bulk head.

The jumpseat behind me.

Pull it out, fold
it up, sit down.

Now!

Get us out of here.

Call it off, you maniac.

Yes.

Were you born there?

No, you?

You knew about the
ship, didn't you?

Once I got out, I just ran
straight without stopping

and eventually I
stumbled across it.

Is it just me, or
is it hot in here?

I spent my
entire life gazing up

at a dust-ridden sky.

Does the radio work?

Soon.

The frequency can't be changed.

I'll have a
look at it in a minute.

Shouldn't we take care of the
radio first then the heat?

Without
heat, we won't make

it for more than an hour.

And besides, who do you
want to talk to so badly?

Did you notice that the
speakers are broken?

Membranes are cut up.

What do you make of that?

Hey, what about your radio?

It doesn't work out here.

It only works,

take it apart a bit then
we'll at least have a speaker.

Just put it back down,
it'll be great, ow!

So, I can definitely
repair the heat.

Do you know what bunk
you're gonna sleep in yet?

Hello?

- Sylbert?
- Huh?

No, no, no bunk yet.

How fast can you type?

I don't know, fast.

Good, then you have the
liberty of doing the first

mission log entry.

Hey, do you mind, what
do you make of this?

No, idea, what's
that supposed to be?

That's the question.

It's probably nothing.

I just thought maybe it
could be some sort of plant

and not the kind
of plants we know,

rather something different.

I call the top bunk, by the way.

So, there's a new crew on board.

Starting as of...

07086013.

There are two of us.

We found the ship in
the desert at kilo nine,

10 degrees west and
17 degrees north.

We have food and water
to last 311 days.

Oxygen for 306.

The main hatch is jammed.

We can only enter and exit
through the propulsion shaft.

Our heat is on the blink.

So is the radio but we'll
get everything going again

once we reach Onasis.

Close.

Once we what?

Here.

Behind this line, there's
no one left to bother us.

How so?

What's there?

- No clue.

Is that our solar system?

It says something different here

but that's definitely Onasis.

Yeah and right
outside this line,

it's where space really begins.

All right.

I'm gonna go start on the heat.

What exactly do you
mean by "really begins"?

Freedom!

Do you know if there
are any people there?

Everything
is there, my friend.

Why is it named
differently on the map?

No clue.

Once we reach Onasis,
or Terabus Three.

Okay, think that's it.

That's on warm and 15, okay.

And go.

Ah!

Did you hear? The
heat's working.

Do you think it
got colder in here?

No!

Think something's wrong
with the heat again.

Hello?

- Sylbert?
- What?

Everything okay?

I have to check
out the heat again.

Then I'll get to
the communications.

You know,

we don't necessarily
need to know

what happened to the other crew.

Come on.

Don't drive yourself crazy.

Hey, why are you closing it?

Radio.

Yeah, I didn't even wanna sleep.

Leave me alone.

What?

Yeah, say a number.

Huh?

A frequency, any one.

Yeah but we don't
have any sound, right?

Yeah, no.

Is it hot as hell in
here or is it just me?

Where did you come from?

No, come on.

Why isn't this on the map?

Now what's wrong?

Are you blind, man?

What have you been
doing the whole time?

Are those allies?

I don't know.

We're going to fly
underneath them.

Okay.

Do you think they're
transmitting?

Wait.

Here, here!

- What are you doing?
- That's them.

Where's your radio?

Forget it.

Just forget it!

But try to imagine if...

I want to get outta here.

And I wanna go somewhere.

You wanna go over there?

Really, okay, listen,
there's a space suit

in the compartment, it's
not a real space suit

but for a few minutes
it'll do the trick.

And you even have a helmet here.

Put everything on, go
through the propulsion shaft,

push up and you'll glide
right over, nice and smooth.

What is it?

Is there a radio

in the helmet?

The whole universe.

So utterly hideous.

No time.

- All around.
- What?

- Just endlessness.
- Take that off.

Terrible.

Terrible.

- Shut your mouth.
- Terrible.

My mouth, I can't drink.

I can't drink at all.

I'll get you some water

that you can drink.

I must go back.

Wait.

The stars.

They're going past me

and further behind.

Dead.

Leave, leave.

Leave, leave.

Leave, leave.

- Leave.
- Drink.

- The water's foul.
- Drink, drink now!

Drink, drink it, drink!

Yeah, that's what I meant.

Where the ship is from,
is where this came from.

Or at least where
the crew came from.

I read it all in
the mission log.

This thing is from a place
that neither of us knows of.

I'm positive, it's right there.

Do you think there were more
of these on the space station?

Yeah, could be.

And food, like actual good food?

Probably.

What else?

Beds, maybe?

Could be.

Could also have been a
bunch of maniacs on board.

And could there
possibly have been women

among those maniacs?

Yeah, probably.

Nice women?

Probably not.

They would have
definitely betrayed us.

When was the last
time you saw a woman?

I was 17.

Where this is from, there
are definitely some.

How do you know that?

- I just do.
- How do you know?

It has to be.

That thing doesn't
get us very far.

Tell me a planet,

a set of coordinates,
something concrete

and then prove to me

that it's worth it.

Then we can look for that place,

then we will look
for that place.

You don't believe me.

No, I most certainly don't.

Bullshit.

Then where?

When I heard that
someone escaped,

I volunteered.

Not to bring the person back,

but, rather, to be
part of the escape.

What did you hear?

In the helmet.

A signal.

Some notes.

What kind of notes?

I wouldn't look
straight at that.

Just leave it be, as
long as it's behind us.

What are you doing?

I'm checking out the signal.

The old crew knew
about that signal.

Really?

Yeah.

They went mad.

I'm not going mad.

- No.
- Just wanna know

where it's being sent from.

All right.

Listen, I don't think we
have to know where the ship

was originally heading.

You said you
wanna go somewhere, right?

Yes.

But I don't think
that's the right path.

I think much more that...

I'm just listening
to the signal.

It's not good for you.

Did you hear it?

Yes.

Don't look straight into it.

And close the bulk head.

Do you have the light?

What do you need it for?

I'm looking around.

Uh huh.

What for?

Now I know where this
signal's coming from.

Is the shaft here?

Yes.

And?

Actually, nothing.

Come back up front.

Okay.

Down here is where we are.

The signal

is coming from

somewhere up here.

Somewhere off the map.

The signal, here, look.

Do you see the weak
wave followed directly

by the bigger one?

Hey, the big one, again, silence

and just a little, it's
almost as if it's...

- Music or...
- Music, yeah.

- Singing or...
- I haven't listened

to much music in my lifetime.

And it's not far.

What do you mean not far?

What do you mean "what
do you mean not far"?

Are you scared?

I'm nothing.

Exactly.

Both of us are nothing.

But there we're something.

And this,

this is the course.

Hey, check this out.

I'm almost certain that this
signal should be carefully

interpreted from
a safe distance.

And?

Why don't you take a nap?

A nap.

I think you're the one
who should take a nap.

Sylbert.

I'm not Sylbert.

Sylbert is long gone.

Sylbert is over and done with.

I want you to stop
calling me that.

Whatever you say.

If anything, you're the Sylbert.

You don't even know who you are.

What does it say, huh?

What does it say
on your name tag?

- What does it say?
- Leave me alone.

Tell me who you are.

Tell me who you are!

I am Adem, sentenced to
life in the black desert

but after nine weeks
I made my escape.

I found this ship and aside
from it, I have nothing.

I have nothing and I'm
searching for home.

Rest assured, we cannot
continue to follow that signal.

Did you read that
in the mission log?

Did Cajus write an
entry about that?

Has Cajus ever been there?

Have you ever been there?

Adem?

We can go anywhere we want.

Yeah, that's what
everyone thinks, huh?

That's what you think when
you see that out there.

All the suns and
the small worlds.

You think you can go anywhere.

But you cannot go anywhere.

You're always going from
one place to another place.

- Listen to the signal again.
- No.

- It's not dangerous.
- Put that damn thing down.

I don't want to.

We're always at
one place somewhere.

What's that nonsense?

Always going from one
place to another place.

That's terrible.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

But that's not how it is at all.

We're always somewhere

and we can decide which path
we take and where we end up.

Do you actually think that?

What I think is
that we shouldn't go

where that signal
is coming from.

I think we'll be better off
going where this ship is from.

We have to go in the
complete opposite direction.

And where is this ship from? Hm?

From Earth.

I believe that our ship
is originally from Earth.

From Earth.

You think this ship
came from Earth.

The Earth, that's...

the Earth...

The Earth, that's not a
place you can go to.

The Earth,

it's a tale that you tell
small children before bedtime.

Leave it.

What was that?

Turn the exterior lights on.

Shit!

Oh shit!

Bring me the pliers.

In the case!

Hurry.

You have to go around.

Just go under, and around.

How?

The throttle to the
left, push it forward.

Get out.

Get in the back.

There.

That's it.

It looks like gold.

Do you know gold?

Where are we?

That's all wreckage

from old ships.

Old adventurers, drifting away.

What are you doing?

What is this?

The flashlight fell down.

Well, what are you doing here?

I'm just looking around.

And what are
you actually doing here?

What did you write down there?

A number.

What kind of number?

Don't really know.

What, what the
hell kinda number?

It's here on the wall.

On the wall?

Yes, it's written
here on the wall

and I was writing
it down because it's

too long to memorize.

And why?

So that I can check it.

And then?

Just knock it off already.

You wanna hold
me back, don't you?

What do I wanna do?

Just say it.

You believe those are
the coordinates to Earth.

Don't you?

I... I don't know.

But that's what you believe.

Listen.

There is no Earth

where we can land, walk and
everything will be fine.

Can't go back to where we
supposedly all came from.

We can only go
further and further

and deeper into it.

Now get the light.

It's the only one we have.

They were looking
for something here.

We have to leave.

We have to land there.

We have to leave.

Is that a gas planet?

That's a gas planet, where
do you expect to land?

Listen to me, what
do we even want here?

This is madness.

And your Earth?

What's that?

I'm going
to open this disk.

Do what you please.

What are you doing?

Sit down, buckle up.

- Listen.
- Shut up!

We can't fly into that planet.

Are you going to kill me?

You're about to kill us both.

So, abort the landing now.

There is no Earth.

There is no blue sky.

No fields.

No seas.

No trees.

None of that exists.

Shit!

Shit!

I'm almost there.

Why are you doing this?

Because it has to be done.

You are flying straight
into a planet made of gas.

What are you going to
do if the core is fluid?

Do what you want.

What does that mean?

We have no business being here.

What's that?

The anomaly intensifies.

Watch out!

Incoming!

This is the end.

Do you hear me?

This is the end.

What the hell?

What are you doing?

This is not the end.

No.

No, just stop already.

Stay here.

What am I supposed to
do without a pilot?

Wait.

Please, just wait.

Listen to me, this is
just too much to handle.

You aren't thinking clearly.

There's nothing outside.

You won't find anything.

Go.

Go.

Hello?
