Where is this coming from?

What, what the hell

is wrong with you?

They're offering help.

Just grow some balls,

suck it up and accept it.

You know what, the only reason

your old man's pub didn't go

Under two years ago is 'cause

of those f***ing

Rocks in the sky.

What the hell are

you talking about?

Oh, don't give me that.

As soon as people realize we

might all get wiped out, all

Anyone wants to do is go

and get f***ing pissed.

Not everybody.

Yes, everybody.

People stop giving a sh*t

about money and their cars and

Their f***ing jobs,

'cause you know what?

They realized none of

this sh*t f***ing matters.

No one gave a flying

f***, including us.

Do you remember?

The reason your parents have

sat on a pile of money is

Because everyone else stopped

giving the f*** about it.

Oh, nice language to use in

front of your unborn child.

I'm being serious, Maya.

So am i.

Maybe when I'm carrying

your baby you could keep the

"Fucks" to a minimum.

Oh, for god's sake, what

are you, my grandmother?

No, I'm your wife, and

I'd appreciate it...

no, you're not my wife, are you?

And I'm not your husband,

and we both know why

That is, don't we?

It's because you had

absolutely no f***ing desire

To marry me whatsoever.

Look, the bottom line is

that we need the money.

We're going to need to

return the pushchair.

The pushchair is

going nowhere, Maya?

We can't even

afford a proper cot!

I'm not making the cot

because we can't afford a cot.

I'm making the cot because

it's something

I want to do for me.

I'm making it because I want

one f***ing thing not to be

About money.

But you're never

going to make it Cole.

I have been out of

work for two minutes.

Two minutes!

Will you just give me a

second to get back on my feet?

You're not a carpenter, Cole.

I'm sorry, but you're not.

Everything you

build falls apart.

Look at the table and

the, the f***ing chairs.

Do you think I'm going to let

our baby sleep in a cot that

You've made?

You know, sometimes I feel

that you're oblivious to this

Whole thing.

You're, you're in denial.

I'm in denial? You're...

oh, what would

you want me to do?

Spend all day hiding

in the cupboards?

You know what, I can't do this.

I can't do it.

Nothing about this is right.

What're you doing?

What if she's up

there waiting for us?

What're you talking about, Maya?

Where's the baby food?

You're not serious.

Come on.

I thought we were saving it.

Well, there's no point if we die

of starvation before we even

Get to her.

I don't want it now.

Okay, well, I'll have mine.

Maybe we could share one.

There's not enough.

It's supposed to be

a joint decision.

Don't give me the look.

I wouldn't touch that.

You hear me?

Hello?

Shh, shh.

Can't believe you guys are here.

My name's Keith.

Keith Novak.

Where are you?

Follow the extension cables.

Let me guess:
You're

heading to Norway?

You're not?

I don't buy into all that

"land of the midnight sun"

Stuff.

It's a load of cobblers.

Try telling that to this one.

Heh, try telling

that to my wife.

Where is she?

She headed up north

with everyone else.

She knew I didn't want to go,

so she took her baby girl and

Left in the middle of the night.

Why d'you have that

video playing outside?

It's a distraction.

You don't have any kids.

We do.

A girl.

She was born just before.

A baby girl?

Where is she?

She's with my parents.

When the ships arrived,

we were at the hospital.

She was with them.

We haven't seen them since.

They're heading north.

How do you know?

How do you know

that they aren't...

because we know.

Sorry.

Do I know you from somewhere?

No.

I don't think so.

You sound familiar.

The prime

minister has called for calm

As the world faces up to

what he describes as an

Unprecedented global crisis.

Our correspondent Nicholas

Adidagee has this report.

At approximately 0600 hours

eastern standard time, the

Deliverance nuclear vessels

dispatched to the deleruyelle

Asteroid were detonated.

However, the impact of the

explosions was insufficient to

Divert the asteroid

from its course.

The deliverance

mission has failed.

We will continue to monitor

the deleruyelle as it moves

Closer to earth over the

coming weeks, but I'm afraid I

Won't be taking

Any questions at

the present time.

Do you want to feel?

As we've already heard at

Came the news we've all be dreading,

nah, you're alright.

A statement from Washington

Confirming that the

deliverance mission has failed

In its attempt to divert the

deleruyelle from its possible

Collision course with earth.

Now that's despite the fact

that all 19 of the unmanned

Nuclear inceptors were

successfully detonated, and

The news has obviously

come as a devastating blow.

Only days ago, the us

government seemed to have high

Hopes that the mission

could be a success.

It seems experts still haven't

gotten to the bottom of what

Went wrong, and sources have

told me that there are lots of

Heads being scratched

in Washington right now.

They're still not sure as to

why the operation didn't work.

The response to this has

been almost instant, and that

Response has been civil un...

hi, this is the

voicemail for Maya garissey.

I can't answer the phone right

now but leave me a message and

I'll call you back.

Maya.

You can't just pack your stuff

up and leave in the middle of

The night, okay?

Now, give me a call back.

I came down to the hospital

today, to the appointment,

Hoping that you'd be here.

Where are you?

You can't just keep

avoiding me, alright?

We obviously need

to talk about this.

Just, just give me

a call back, please.

Why did you want to die?

What?

That night.

You wanted him to shoot you.

What're you talking about?

Didn't you have anyone

you cared about?

Hang on, you think I actually

wanted him to kill me?

You were daring him to

put a bullet in your head.

I was standing up to him.

He was scared. He was never

going to pull the trigger.

And you're sure about that?

He only shot you because

you attacked him.

Right.

I see.

I've, I've got to go.

You know, I had what you had.

Someone who cared about me.

Look, mate, you don't need to

convince me you've been dealt

A shitty hand, alright.

Her name was aurora.

I know, right?

When I first met her, she

couldn't speak any English.

And she was only

here on holiday.

I saw her walking along

saint Cyrus beach.

It was the middle of January.

She had this hair, this crazy

blonde hair blowing all over

The place.

We were literally the only

two people for miles around.

She was walking one way,

and I was walking the other.

Well, I knew we were

going to pass each other.

As she got closer, I was

desperately trying to think of

Something to say.

Anything.

Before I knew it, we

were crossing paths.

We made eye contact

for a split second.

I balled up.

Then we just passed each

other like ships in the night.

I carried on walking.
