I believe in what Christ said...
about opening one's door to a stranger.
I think we all behaved in this way toward Ewelike.
We welcomed him.
Ewelike,
our chief engineer,
and one of our most important citizens,
paid us back by trashing our only wind turbine,
with the intent of causing a power outage across the entire island.
I saw it with my own eyes.
This leaves us with no choice
but to part with an esteemed member of our community.
Joachim,
I'm sorry for getting you hurt. So sorry.
I was out of my mind.
I was heartbroken about my wife.
Well said.
Another terrible loss
is the death of our dear friend
Judith Krugschenck.
What?
And we know everything.
Ewelike.
What?
Blood was discovered on your clothes.
Blood that matches the DNA of Judith Krugschenck.
Who has gone absent.
Ewelike.
You are being charged with the murder of Judith Krugschenck.
What? What is this?
Murder, what are you talking about?
This was a strange act of violence,
unlike anything thus far seen on this island.
Why do you want to pin this on me?
Why would I do something like that? Commit murder?
To make room for your wife, of course.
I'm no detective, but even I know
the essential question always is, "Cui bono?"
Ask who benefits most from the crime committed.
This is laughable. And you people should be laughing!
I know in your hearts each one of you knows this is a lie.
I know you people can't be that ignorant.
Have you heard the word "scapegoat"?
Yes! You know "scapegoat" comes from the Hebrew word "azazel."
It refers to a goat who escaped slaughter
and olden-times Semites thought
was possessed by a dark spirit...
If you're innocent,
then why is her blood on your shirt?
I don't know how she got that blood on the shirt!
I mean, how does she even know it's Judith's blood?
Marek did a DNA test.
He'll be happy to confirm it, right, Marek?
Actually, I did the test.
And I'll testify to it.
Well, there it is.
What? You are going to go along with this?
And you. You're not even from here. You're not one of them.
You're going to do this, for what? Maybe you did it.
You're not doing yourself any favors with the accusations.
This is bullshit!
But you're going to play along with it 'Cause that's what you always do!
Don't look at your shoes. I see you!
Hans, Doris... I'm your friend. Say something.
Ewelike is guilty of the murder of Judith Krugschenck.
As he will not admit his crime.
So, let's vote.
Guilty?

Crazy!
New Chief Maintenance Technician.
I'm so proud of you.
- We're moving on up. - Yes.
Beatrice made a cake. Congratulations are in order.
Wait. We still have Grandma's china in the pantry.
Etienne, who has access to our shed, but us?
- Our shed... - Yeah: our tool shed.
And who here has access to Beatrice's double triple secret supply
of top-shelf liquor, if not Lisa.
What are you implying?
I am implying, my dear,
that you did this to me.
We did fuck-all?
Bullshit.
Ask who benefits most from the crime committed.
You put the booze in my shed, didn't you?
You two set me up.
Set you up?
Did we pour booze down your throat?
Did we cause your accident?
Did we trash the wind turbine?
No.
Etienne,
buddy.
I get it. All's fair in love and war.
But why me?
- I've always been a good guy to you. - Good?
You kidding me?
You were great.
Remember standing over me when I was on restricted rations?
Yes? No?
Remember what you said?
"Hey, ET, I guess finally you can drop a few pounds!"
That was good. Wasn't it? The words of a really good guy?
You destroyed me.
I'm toast.
Hey.
You could stay with us.
You know.
Work around the house.
Like... be your manservant?
Yeah, our one-legged manservant.
Yeah.
Come on.
Careful.
Great.
Holy shit.

Friends.
We are reunited as a community today
the way most communities reunite after a period of division.
We would prefer to come in a moment
of celebration, of mutual cherishing.
But instead,
we come here to do our most somber duty.
The expulsion of a friend.
Dad.
Linus.
I don't want to upset you. Or hurt you.
But...
I think...
you often didn't understand
what I was up to here.
And there's a reason.
I've been hiding things from you.
So many grave
things.
If you still want,
I will tell you everything.
Just say it.
It feels like this could have been a million years ago by now.
But...
I still remember it like it was yesterday.
Men!
Get started. We got the all clear!
The ferry to Helgoland will be ready for boarding in a few minutes.
- Access only with a purchased ticket, negative test... - Negative test!
and proof of residence.
The ferry to Helgoland will be ready for boarding in a few minutes.
Access only with a purchased ticket, negative test
and proof of residence.
Watch it!
- Hey, you still awake? - Hey.
Still waiting for the delivery.
How is it out there?
I mean, in a word? Remarkably like the end of the world.
How's my little man?
I'm fine, thanks.
Oh, you mean the other little guy.
Just a second.
I don't want to rush you, but...
he's been talking in his sleep.
Mommy, we need you. I need you.
Dad is dumb, he can't even make a cheese sandwich.
Help me. Help me.
You hear it, the words of your son.
And like I said, no pressure from me.
Yeah, I don't feel pressured at all.
Seriously, it's very safe here at the institute.
Oh God, famous last words.
That's what they said on the Titanic and the Hindenburg too and before the fall of Saigon.
Marek, I have to wait for this woman's tissue sample.
I think we have a real chance to isolate the virus.
Look, I can come get you without him.
I'll find someone to watch him and come get you.
- Eve Aldeway is here. - She's here, I have to go.
I love you.
I love you too.
ID, negative test, residence certificate.
Hello, Aron.
- Really? - Yes, sorry, Marek.
I need your address on the island, if you want to go over.
- It's a new rule. - Okay, I only have an electric bill.
It's fine. As long as your name is on it.
Okay, all right.
Wow, Eve has a dick.
That can't be.
If that's not a dick, I don't know what is.
Are you sure we have the right corpse?
Eve Aldeway. Here it is.
Okay.
Okay, let's take a sample.
Careful. People, calm down please.
Tomorrow and the day after we're getting more deliveries.
- I'll be right back, okay? - Yeah.
Come back tomorrow.
Unfortunately, we are out of stock today.
Okay.
We can still try to maintain order.
It's not that hard.
- People... People, calm down, please. - Harald, I've known you 20 years.
Tomorrow and the day after we'll be getting deliveries.
Today we're out of stock.
I'm sorry, I'll be really quick. I just need...
No. We're closed.
Don't touch. Don't touch, please.
That's not...
Hey.
We want to try to maintain order, okay?
It's not that hard.
Excuse me.
It's not a good time. We're swamped today.
People are senselessly hoarding whatever they can get.
I mean, frozen onion rings in aspic.
Gigi, run to the warehouse and get Kleenex.
And toilet paper.
Bring more right away.
By the time you're back, it'll all be gone again.
What did you say you need?
I'm looking for something healthy for my child.
- There's nothing left? - Come with me.
Chicken Dinos.
Okay.
- I don't think I can... - Oh, yes, you can.
Give him that and he'll eat out of your hands for a week.
I know what I'm talking about.
It's pure magic.
Who put the blueberry muffins with the cherry ones?
I don't believe it.
Dear Lord.
Oh God, orange soda.
Of all things, the stuff is... Luca, wipe this up.
We're closed.
Everything's closed.
I've lost my shifts. We don't have any money left.
- Why are you yelling at me? - We have to eat.
- Dear Lord, calm down already. - Friends, friends, friends.
My name is Beatrice. Those who shop here know me.
- I work here. - Yes.
Things are being delivered irregularly at the moment.
That's what they told you. And that's how it is.
But the fact is, tomorrow morning at six o'clock
we'll get an extra-large delivery.
So come at eight o'clock. We need a little time to unpack.
Come right here. Make a nice line, very orderly.
And I'll get you everything you have on your list.
Wait until tomorrow? I want to get inside now!
With a 15 percent discount.
All right, 20. 20, okay?
Does that sound good?
All right, guys, see you then.
- But it'd better be true. - Of course.
Tomorrow morning at 7.50.
I'll be here.
Tomorrow morning at eight.
Did you all hear that?
Beatrice just did something amazing.
She offered a discount of 20 percent
on every single product in my store.
Are you crazy?
Every single one of these stupid teenagers here
has more brains than you.
Yeah, yeah, you stare.
This stupid old lady
just screwed things up more wildly than you ever could.
And that means something.
So, close up, clean up, shut up.
That applies to you too.
20 percent.
Are you out of your mind?
Why not 40 percent? Why not 80 percent?
ˇWe can just give everything away!
This is my shop!
What kind of employees are these?
Okay, carry on.
Excuse me, we're closed. Pay next time.
- Yeah? - Yeah, yeah.
You'll be fine.
You too.
The boss isn't here right now.
So there's only one person who has the say here, me.
So... It can happen that a whole pallet
of orange breakfast drinks with extra calcium falls down.
Also, destroying a whole delivery
of extra-strong industrial detergents is nothing unusual.
But...
both at the same time,
to destroy one with the other, that's...
real talent.
What's your name?
"Viserys"?
Viserys.
My parents are "Game of Thrones" fans.
Viserys, okay.
Viserys, you're new here.
Allow me to ask you a very direct question.
- Are you watching the news? - No.
Up there.
We're at a crossroads here.
Everything's still running, but it's up to us
whether life continues or it all collapses.
Because they can't get anything done.
They're running around like little kids.
Dear God. What are we supposed to do?
So... We need some order here.
Do you get that?
And now I'm asking you.
Do you want to keep your blinders on
and have a toke now and then until it's all over?
Or do you finally want to do something real?
That's exactly the point we're at right now.
There's only a narrow dividing line between survival
and your mom shooting you for a glass of clean drinking water.
There's no third option.
And this narrow, narrow dividing line...
That's us.
We poor suckers are the dividing line.
And you have the choice.
Either you keep getting your ass kicked
or you can take a stand.
So, what do you want?
What do you want?
I wanted to say...
Goddamn it, yes, man!
Yeah. Exactly.
Cool.
Okay, good.
Let's get started.
Hello, Marek. You're back.
Hey.
I'll help you.
Are you running for office, or what?
Tell me...
proof of residence?
Zero cases on the island. We want it to stay that way.
When's Tessa coming?
Oh, yes. I'm working on it.
Unlike us, of course, she's taking care of really important things.
Whatever.
We have to test everyone on the island.
To make sure everyone's healthy.
I can help too.
I hoped so.
Our island doctor ran off to the mainland to his grandkids'.
It'll all be over soon, right?
Well, it looks pretty serious.
Nobody knows what we're dealing with here.
Tessa says it changes 25 bases in its DNA weekly.
With Ebola it was one, H1N, ten.
So...
Anyway.
Tessa will take care of it, right?
Are you still sleeping on the floor in the cafeteria?
It's okay.
Don't worry.
Silbermann shut down the ferry. Now you can only leave the island.
- You can't enter. - What?
He can't do that.
He can. And he did.
But he promised we'd get you in if we're quick.
Soon, it won't be possible at all.
I understand.
I hear what you're saying, but...
Tess, Tess, we can't just wait.
We're having trouble getting a complete isolate.
Maybe we're taking the wrong approach.
The virus is constantly creating new variants at a rapid pace.
Tess, listen, we have to make a decision.
Right now.
Yes, tomorrow, okay?
Yes?
- But really. - Don't be angry, please.
Linus needs me. Tomorrow morning.
Promise? But really.
I remember Tessa.
- Oh, yes? - Sweet girl.
Her parents came every summer.
She had a terrible horse allergy.
But she just couldn't stay away from the animals.
- It was quite a challenge for us. - Yeah.
Classic Tessa.
She's a virologist now.
And I'm a doctor of tropical medicine.
But I've learned a lot from her, of course.
And since your doctor isn't here anymore,
I thought we could set up the test station together.
Of course.
We only have limited resources,
but I'm working on a procedure
that we can use to examine blood samples on site.
Yes, doctors are scarce now. You got it first.
Ammonium thiocyanate, do you know that?
- No. - It's a standard substance.
But with the current supply chains...
We need it to get definitive test results.
And we need a lot of it.
So, everything is here now.
Don't make a mess here, Hendrik.
That's all I need.
Great.
What in heaven's name have you done to my shop?
Mr. Suber, we can no longer remain vulnerable
to the actions of our customers.
How long do you think it will take
before they bash one of us in the head for a can of tuna?
We need protection.
They need security, and I, in my position...
Wait a minute.
What does it say here?
Seriously?
Read it.
I don't have to. "Suber."
- And what does it say out there? - "Subermarket."
To be honest, I always thought it was...
a bit basic.
- But you're the boss. - Yes.
Exactly.
My area of responsibility is clearly defined here. Right?
Just like yours.
And taking command isn't part of it,
as far as I know.
Neither is bringing your strange brat to work.
Read your contract!
All right, all right, all right.
Then enforce your contract.
That's...
I just wanted to...
I just wanted to tell you, maybe you should just open the store.
All right, guys, open the store.
- What time is it? - It's almost eight.
Here, look. It's been four weeks.
No more shopping inside, mister.
No more indoor shopping.
You give us the lists with the things you need.
We'll gather everything and then we'll give it to you.
All right.
Then bring me 200 rolls of toilet paper,
eight cans of air freshener and 35 liters of milk.
That's it. Get going.
What does your common sense say?
In one word.
Fuck your mother. Next.
Fuck you. What do you want? What do you want?
People, we are armed.
Trespassers will be shot.
I will not accept any disorder, looting, or anything like that.
I promise you, everyone on this island
will get what they need.
As long it's an appropriate amount.
No more hoarding.
No one gets more than the others, but everyone gets what they need.
I guarantee that.
I will make sure that the goods flow,
as long as you stick to your part of the deal.
So, what do you really need?
The fat ass knows what I need.
And I don't believe that you fuckers are armed.
You are cordially invited to find out. Please.
If anyone but me comes through this door,
just pull the trigger.
Understood, boss. Locked and loaded.
Come on. Make my day, punk.
Please people, go to the side.
Yes. Safe is safe.
All right. All right.
Next, please. How can I help you?
This is Tessa. Messages after the beep.
Hey... Yes, you're not answering.
You're probably...
Yeah, I don't know.
So, I can still come get you.
But I have to know if you're really coming.
And if you're okay. It's pretty hard not knowing how you're doing.
Well... get in touch. When you can. Bye.
What are you doing now?
No. Nothing. I thought I heard something.
But it's nothing.
I'm warning you.
If you bring your strange child to work again, I'll fire you.
And I don't give a shit if you're a union boss by then
or if there's a shop at all.
No, no, you're right.
I know it wasn't cool.
But now I'll behave appropriately.
Whatever you say, you are the boss.
Good.
How are your children?
They are at a boarding school in Switzerland, right?
That...
I don't know.
I can't reach them.
No idea where they are.
I'm very sorry to hear that.
Thank you.
That's...
I'm sorry that I...
It's just... you know...
all this.
And then my children.
They're somewhere...
on the mainland.
Good night.
- See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.
Keep quiet.
Just go.
- What the hell? - Just go.
Can you let us in?
If you don't let us in...
they'll shoot me.
Open up. Let me in.
Throw away the weapons.
Now open the store!
Just a second.
Okay, democracy. Every vote counts.
We let Suber in, we lose all the groceries.
They take over. We have nothing.
No power. No possibilities. We'll probably be shot.
What's taking so long?
Or... we accept a small sacrifice.
Unfortunately.
But we keep control of the building.
There's no third option. Hands.
Who's in favor of giving up?
Who's for the sacrifice?
Okay, guys. Watch my back out there.
So, that's a non-starter.
- What? - You're not coming in.
And all weapons are aimed at you.
One movement,
no matter which one, and that's it for you.
Wait a minute.
Slowly. Beatrice.
We both... had a few differences.
- But here goes... - Are you nuts?
Drop your weapons. Now. On the ground.
- Now. Otherwise... ready? - Ready.
I want you to look at this right now.
Look at this very closely.
What do you want to do now?
Come on, guys.
Come on, take the weapons. Seriously.
Viserys, help me.
Come here. Come here.
Now listen to me carefully.
The world is collapsing.
And this little rock here might be the only safe place far and wide.
And we may be the only survivors.
This little bunch of ordinary people.
We, the little people.
The inconspicuous people that no one sees.
Yes, we will live and we will save the world.
But only if we protect this island.
That's only possible if you become fighters.
Soldiers.
You have to become killers. Do you understand that?
You all know the feeling.
When will something finally happen in my life?
I'm telling you, it's happening now. In this very moment.
So if someone shows up here who wants to hurt us,
you have to be ready to bash his head in.
I mean that literally. In seconds. Understood?
- Yes. - Yes!
All right.
Find that fucking guy who shot Suber and bring him to me.
