They agree, she's leaving.
Put that away, Andreas.
Andreas!
Andreas, listen to your mother.
Aye, aye, captain Ellen.
You promised to unpack.
Mum, you have to give me permission for landing first.
Now!
You've crashed it...
It's a present from Ellen.
Ellen is no longer here.
She's taking care of other children.
It's the new kid. Lives next to us.
Up front. So we can all see you.
We're waiting.
I am Andreas Decker and I... - Can you guys hear him?
No!
I'm Andreas Decker. - Double-decker.
Where're you from, Andreas?
Moscow.
And before that Salt Lake City.
And before that Rio de Janeiro. And before that Bombay.
You've lived in all those places?
You must have a lot to tell us.
No, all those cities look alike.
Hello?
Salt Lake City: White sand and Mormons.
Rio: Carnival and a bit backward.
He stayed there for too long.
How did you keep up with schoolwork?
I studied at international schools.
Show off!
What do your parents do?
They're Doctors of Science. Specialized in...
I've seen them. Regular crackpots.
...endocrinology, microbiology, astrophysics,
biochemistry and genetics.
Please, keep quiet.
Do you have family or friends here?
Ellen. But she left us.
She's looking after someone else.
So you had a nanny. - Baby!
Quiet!
You can sit down, Andreas.
Five pages for Miss Janssen.
I'm Kasper Korman.
Wietse.
Vero.
For you, it's Véronique.
I think he's dead but he doesn't know it yet.
I know it. We call him 'stiff-y'!
Do 'hormones' eat apples like that?
He's a real stiff-y, guys.
Know what I mean, little pest?
What did he say?
That new?
Where'd you buy that?
In Moscow?
You waiting for your nanny? - For my parents.
And? - What do you mean? And?
You're not afraid of your parents?
Who's afraid of his parents? - Not me.
They do everything I say. I have 'em in my pocket.
Who?
Véronique Janssen?
Do you know what time it is?
You'll see him at school tomorrow.
It's for Vero!
Cool gameboy. Dead cool.
You give it back, or I'll... - I'm bleeding already.
I mean it, okay?
Take it easy, stiff-y. You want your gameboy?
You come and get it. If you dare...
Still there, stiff-y?
No problemo, I'm off... - Wait, wait...
In my yard there's a Moon Base. See you.
Password.
You need a password.
Give me my gameboy.
Seen it twenty times. Dead cool.
My gameboy. If my dad finds out...
Stiff-y.
Your dad's a real weirdo, huh? - He's not weird at all.
Take it easy. My dad's weird too. Stays out all night playing pool.
My dad works at night. In his lab.
What's he doing there?
Don't know. I'm not allowed up there.
Must be exciting for your mum.
She's working too. In the greenhouse.
What for? - For the company. Also top-secret.
My parents are smart, real smart.
Smart? They're fruitcakes.
What? - What?
They're always wearing sunglasses. Even if the sun doesn't shine.
And they work all the time. They should be sick.
They do at home. - What?
Take off their sunglasses. Okay?
If you really want to know, you should spy on them!
That's how I know dad has a girlfriend.
Him and his secretary.
A blonde with big...
That's why he plays pool all the time. Mummy doesn't know of course.
Maybe your dad has a girlfriend too.
It's not because Ellen left that you don't have to listen.
It's not sensible to drink at night.
There's pasta left from yesterday...
Pasta?
What would you like? - Chocolate spread!
I think we're out of chocolate...
but we still have toast.
You have to eat something.
I didn't wet my bed. - What?
I did not wet my bed.
Good boy.
Well done.
Didn't I tell you?
Give it back!
Keep calm!
Maniac!
I put some new batteries in.
With that, you'll hear everything. - Electra Girl.
His parents are not normal.
They do top-secret work and Andreas wants to know what...
Are we gonna spy?
Te light stays on all night, it's most suspicious.
Can you hear me, Andreas?
Password!
Nothing must go wrong.
It's now or never.
We have to make the deadline.
And what if we don't?
It's a question of weeks.
If the tests are positive...
we get a greenlight
and we can add the neutralizer.
Tey have no idea...
Sure.
They don't know the situation as we know it.
They look at it from the top.
If the tests are positive,
we can start distribution.
I just can't believe it.
Our names will be known on both sides of the universe.
You can have the universe, Rick.
I don't care any more.
As if that's our only problem.
We were going to do this together.
We have to tell him. About us.
Come on.
I want him to know what will happen.
No, not yet. - Do you think he hasn't noticed?
No, he's stupid. - He's not.
He just needs attention...
He'll wet his bed again...
What do you expect?
Everything is always new to him.
Rick, we're strangers to him.
Tis time, it will be different. - It'll never be different.
It will, when we're far away fom here.
We must act as if all is well...
Any more coffee? - Been doing that for years...
Coffee?
They're aliens. - What?
Your parents are aliens. - Aliens don't exist.
You've heard what they said... - You're fantasizing.
You don't listen. - You watch too much TV.
What's this?
Sir? - What's this?
Vero's babyphone. We played with that...
Did you spy on us? - I was sleeping.
Why would he spy on us for?
I thought...
What's wrong?
Nothing's wrong.
Come, go to sleep.
I have 'em in my pocket.
And? You okay?
Did they find out? - If they came from space, I'd know.
They're pretending.
Andreas is right, he'd know.
You've heard what I've heard.
Wetting your bed and such. - Shut up!
Cool daddy!
Where can we find evidence to be sure?
You want to see my dad's lab, but I'm not allowed in there.
Precisely.
Your parents are going out.
Snatched this from daddy.
Andreas, please.
Got everything?
I'm coming.
Hi there, pal.
How was school today?
Seen anything interesting?
We learned about the number 'pi'.
What's so interesting about 'pi'?
It never ends. You can go on and on...
The teacher filled the blackboard. She continued on the walls...
Have you learnt to round it off?
Just a moment.
Sorry, this is important too...
Go, go, go! The bag!
How long?
A long time, grandpa. Take a hike with your poodle.
Decker. - Police. Seventh District.
Afternoon, Mr Decker.
Are you in possession of a vehicle
with license plate WWP - 009?
That's right, yes.
Your car is wanted for a hit-andrun.
Hit-and-run?
You have a Lexus,
metallic silver, with a broken rear light.
Yes, but that rear light...
Te vehicle was seen on a parking lot.
It hit a parked vehicle
while leaving. We have three witnesses.
One second...
Not in English, Mister. Can you come to the precinct?
Now? That's impossible.
Mr Decker, you'll make matters worse.
Right, who do I ask for? - Who does he ask for?
Officer Kasper Korman.
Can't you be serious for once? - No.
I didn't feel anything.
Did you? - Me? No, I didn't.
Gosh, you should see our place.
Wait!
Come on.
You can do it.
You see!
They're just computers.
What's the password?
Oh, no... - What?
Wait!
They're all dying. And we're next.
And nobody notices anything.
Wietse!
Wait!
Come on, hurry up!
Fool!
How was it?
What?
A joke.
That's what they said: A joke.
Look!
The joke. It's him.
I'm sure. He's been hanging around here for days.
Was that man here when we left?
Near the greenhouse?
There's an alarm on the greenhouse. He couldn't...
What does he want from us?
Damaged.
The latest files. - It can't be.
'Yes, Andreas.'
'If they are aliens,
what am I? '
'Am I like them? '
'No, not like them.'
'You are one of us.'
'How d'you know? '
'It's the eyes.'
'They can copy a man...
...but not the eyes.'
Chocolate spread. Super!
Pal?
Is there something you want to tell me?
Rick, I don't think we...
Have you been in my lab?
Me? No, Sir.
You're not allowed in my lab.
You have no business in there. Do you read me?
Are you going to cry?
Do you realize that because of you we are behind schedule?
Is this the way you thank us? - You're exaggerating, Rick.
He's got to listen. And you shouldn't protect him.
He's just a kid.
He won't do it again. Will you, Andreas?
Why are all those things there? - Are you afraid of us?
He's afraid.
They're computers. If you press the wrong key,
we won't make our deadline. We may lose our jobs, Andreas.
What your father does is very important.
A lot of people want to find out what he discovers.
What are...
What is it?
What are those computers for?
That's scientific research.
And the greenhouse?
That's plants we use in our research...
Mum...
My dearest...
You know you're not allowed in there.
What's happening to you?
They're coming for a check-up.
Thanks, pal. - Rick, enough!
She is standing before you.
She takes off her bra...
Her tits pop out. Huge.
What do you think of? - Vero's dad's girlfriend?
Hey, you guys!
To me, he is human.
He's one of us.
He is normal.
If he is the child of his parents...
there has to be proof.
Documents, photos...
I don't want to know.
You have to know, Andreas. You have to.
I've got it...
Papers? - No, just table-cloth.
Real top-secret.
All their diplomas...
All forged.
Are you still there? - Yes.
Ellen. I have her address.
Photos.
Indonesia.
Great Britain, 1998.
Winter holidays, 1997.
Egypt, 1996.
Los Angeles, 1994.
There's no picture from when I was born.
No wedding picture.
Vero...
You must be right...
Andreas, what is it?
Andreas, answer me.
Andreas, please, say something.
What were you looking for, Andreas?
You're not like other people, are you?
In a certain sense,
that's true.
I don't know...
You can tell me...
Are you really my parents?
Why, of course.
I'll tell you something. But you should keep it to yourself.
We're working on a plant.
But we need it ready for a certain date.
We have competitors who are also working on such a plant.
We have to be first.
Do you understand?
Our competitors want to know all about our plant.
So we don't want anyone nosing around...
So you must not tell anyone.
Rachel.
We have work to do.
Something the matter? What is it?
He wanted to know if we were really his parents.
Come on, pal, hey.
Don't you worry.
He has so much on his mind...
Don't go thinking up all that stuff.
Sleep tight.
Password.
Hiya, you guys okay?
Shouldn't you go play some pool?
I'm the world champion of pool.
No...
That greenhouse, so strange.
You see too many movies... - Miss Paranaia.
Paranoia.
Don't they feed you at home? - I'm fed up with toast.
How can you think nothing's happening? Fool!
I am not listening to you. They just have so much on their minds.
You don't believe that! - I do so.
You moron. "Rick, we have to tell him."
Tell him what, Andreas, what?
You're so stupid. They're taking you for a ride.
They lie. And deep down you know they do.
Chicken!
Leave me alone!
Look! Look!
This is the last time. Okay?
Those birds.
Dried out?
Sucked dry.
Andreas, do you feel it? - What?
Do you feel it? - What?
I can't get any air...
We have to get out.
Wait, wait...
What have you done?
Go to your room!
The greenhouse. Andreas and that brat.
We can't go on like this.
He's capable of ruining our mission.
We're almost there, Rick. - No, we're not...
Give him the tea.
That doesn't solve the problem.
I've always wanted to do this.
I can't believe I'm doing this. If my dad gets to know...
We're here to save Andreas.
Who's going to save me? - They're not going to kill you.
What?
We found something.
Dead. They're all dead.
Everything dies.
They're all dead.
That fruitcake is here. - Who?
Michael Jordan and his poodle.
We have to get back.
Wait a minute. - He's going to talk.
Then everyone knows it. And your dad too.
We don't know what it is. We've never seen anything like it.
What could it be?
That's just the point. It doesn't exist. It seems... extraterrestrial.
But is it extraterrestrial?
We haven't got a clue what it could be.
I need your name and address...
Your teacher called.
This is as far as it goes, pal. I'm out of patience.
I warned you.
But you're not... - Shut up!
You've no idea.
You haven't the faintest idea!
Drink this. It'll make you sleep.
Mummy, what's going to happen?
Andreas, please, not now.
You scared me! - Phone call.
Your boyfriend.
Andreas, what's wrong? - Tey want me to drink tea.
It looks like the greenhouse stuff.
Throw it away! You hear me?
It's poison.
I want to get out of here.
Throw it away!
I want to get out.
He didn't drink it.
Can we see Andreas?
For our maths.
No, it's not possible.
The teacher asked us to help him...
I'm the world champion of maths.
Ten minutes. Don't touch a thing.
He's... - We know the way.
Andreas, I'm your father.
We've come to take you away. You can stay in my caravan.
As if they won't look there.
In our wine cellar. You can chill out.
There's only one solution...
We have to go to Germany, see Ellen.
She of all people must know.
Germany, why not Finland?
Who'll pay for the train?
Daddy.
Finished already?
While he was studying, Rick met Andreas' Mum.
Then Andreas came...
So my parents are my parents.
But of course.
And the plants. The lab said they were extraterrestrial.
And the thing that they won't tell him.
Something was going to happen. What?
And the green tea. It's poison.
That's ridiculous. - They lie.
Hey, you guys, wait a minute...
They'll use that plant for an invasion.
To conquer the world. - And kill Andreas
because he knows too much.
Andreas is their son! They love him.
If there's an invasion from outer space, we'll notice.
Oh, we've noticed.
They have these poisoned plants. - They'll spread them
and everyone will die or dry out just like the birds.
And then we will be replaced by creatures from another planet.
The planet of my parents.
And Andreas? - They've adopted me.
So they would not attract attention. - So they could pretend!
I know someone who can help you.
Who?
Dependable people.
You believe us then?
I believe something is wrong.
I'll help you.
Really. Cross my heart.
Why did you leave, Ellen?
I didn't leave.
Your parents fired me.
Say hello to Eva and Brigitta.
It's time.
Goodnight, everybody.
What is it?
The bird is dead.
They're coming! They're coming!
They're here.
Let's get out of here!
I'm sorry.
Kasper, come! Come here!
Dad?
Don't go! They're aliens. - No. It's dad.
Wietse, come here, now!
Vero, come!
No, no, no!
Double-quick!
Andreas, come here!
Andreas, come. - You too!
Come on, pal. - We did it to help Andreas!
He had to know who his parents were. - Oh, come on!
His parents are aliens, aliens!
It's true! It's true!
How could you let this happen?
I'm staying here until you drink it.
Where's Andreas?
They took him away. - What?
It's his parents. - His parents?
They're not his parents. They lie.
His parents are not okay.
They do things to him.
They are not okay. They do things.
It's true, I swear.
I have to go and see the principal.
We're a bit late, sorry, we overslept...
Could I have a word with you?
We keep it quiet.
Some of you have put absurd ideas into Andreas' head.
And that stops right here.
Maniac!
Six weeks...
Another six weeks and it'll all be history.
Te Prime Minister received in his house scientists Rick and Rachel Decker.
Professor Decker has created a plant which may be a solution
to global air pollution.
After years of research a breakthrough was made.
Te Prime Minister was very interested in the discovery.
It's called Linea Caulerpa Taxifolia.
It's genetically manipulated
and can neutralize most toxic substances.
Our country is first to use the plant?
Yes, the government has ordered over ten thousand plants.
Everyone will have such a plant on the roof?
We mean to spread the plant throughout the entire planet.
It's worthy of a Nobel prize...
It's not something you work on alone. It's all thanks to my wife.
Tat's all fom me in Ghent.
Handsome dad you have, Andreas.
Really.
Pity that you're going to leave us.
Andreas is moving to...
Where to exactly?
I don't know. - Where do you want to go?
Nowhere. I want to stay here.
You'll be okay.
With such a dad.
Come on, let's go.
We're all going to die.
Let's go.
We have to leave now.
Sorry, but you're so difficult.
Dad...
You promised me, no questions.
You imagine things, but it's your age.
Like I imagine you have a girlfriend.
What?
I want to see Andreas off at the airport.
So do my friends. - Don't you think that...
Okay, I'll ask mum. - Wait!
I can't work with you around anyway.
We're going! We're going!
Step on it, dad. Their flight is at nine.
Come on, dad!
Just going to see Andreas off...
Sir, Ma'am.
The kids wanted to say goodbye.
They asked me so friendly. Kids...
you know!
Souvenir!
Send a postcard.
Stiff-y. - Electra girl.
The crew is here. For the last time...
when I say 'go', will we go?
We have to go.
Mister Decker, remember me?
Inspector Kasper Corman.
Open up!
Andreas, it's mum, open...
You're not my mother.
Andreas, look...
It's a trick photo.
We know.
We've seen the dead birds. We know!
Andreas, mum and dad worked...
- listen carefully- ...on a plant.
And it generated a substance that killed birds.
We searched for a solution...
a neutralizor.
Now we've found it. We've searched for months...
But we never intended to... no matter how...
no matter how... Andreas...
If you don't open up now, we'll miss our flight.
Andreas, are you still there?
If you don't want to kill anyone...
why did you come here?
But you know that. For our job,
for the company. - No! No! Why did you really come here?
Because...
on the planet where we come from...
On our planet, we have no more plants...
And there's no pure air.
And we've come here,
nine years ago...
with a secret mission...
Yes?
We came to make a plant to save our planet.
A new plant that could grow fast
and purify the air.
And we've made it, just in time... For the deadline.
And now we're going back...
We're going back, pal.
Our planet's called Linea.
And we're going there...
We, the three of us...
Don't.
Don't you see? They're lying.
All parents lie.
I don't want you to leave.
I want to go home. - Of course.
Cool gameboy. Dead cool.
You give it back or I'll... - I'm bleeding already.
I mean it, okay?
