TWO YEARS EARLIER
The viremia is significant, as far as we know.
Transmission of this type of virus usually occurs through blood or insects,
but is rather untypical in Europe.
Has the patient been to Central Africa or South America
during the past three months?
Young lady, are you listening to me at all?
Yes, of course.
There are cases known in the international literature and unfortunately I have to tell you
most of them were lethal.
For the particular case, however, it is simply too difficult to predict an exact outcome.
This compound may be able to inhibit the progression of the disease,
but there is basically no cure available to us.
There must be something that can help him.
Anything?
TODAY
Yes, please?
Hello!
Good afternoon.
Hello!
Please sit down.
Thank you for coming by on time, as always.
How is the progress of your research going?
It's all right.
How's your health?
Unchanged.
I don't want to keep you in suspense any longer.
Your application for funding was approved
primarily because of the outstanding work you did in the last few years.
I regret to inform you, however, that we are unlikely to approve any further applications by you.
Voices are growing louder in the committee who are concerned and
strongly demand the presentation of your current research results.
No, we can't.
You know we're not supposed to be doing research on this matter.
Of course.
Well, at least your parents just assured me over the phone
to be able to support you with private funds.
Alternatively, you could try to convince the commission with another project,
where you achieve much faster results.
We can't.
We don't have time for this.
Of course.
Well, you came home early last night again.
Well...
How long do the preparations take?
Couple of days.
How was the visit to the commission the other day?
You were all tense.
Yeah, it went really well.
See, I told you.
As much money as his parents have.
You really don't have to worry about that.
When was the last time you were awake before me?
Remember the campus party last year?
God don't remind me of that! That was so awful.
Is everything okay?
The disease.
You didn't have that before.
You need a little support when I'm not around.
It's a white blood cell.
I just talked to the research group from the lab next door.
Really? How are they doing?
Quite well, actually.
They asked me to help them with their research.
How cool.
You up for it?
If I've been told correctly, my parents want to fund the project.
And I just don't want my parents to interfere everywhere
and I won't support that.
Hey, I already ordered for you.
Thank you. The same as always?
Is the work progressing?
Don't ask.
That bad?
Well, he's been acting really weird lately.
You know, in the beginning, he barely participated in the research.
And now he's very motivated.
Yeah, I think she could use a break.
And you don't?
I'm almost broken anyway.
He hardly sleeps anymore and only goes out to party.
Come on, let's go back inside.
He's probably looking for a distraction.
I try to make the most of my opportunities.
With sweat and strength I become a king of my cause,
and no matter how deep these birds drag me down,
I won't let myself be influenced, rice from the flames
like the phoenix from the ashes.
I let go of the hate, shake off all the worry.
Contentrate the power within me and don't wait for tomorrow.
With every word and sentence I noticeably demand my intention.
I will rap until finally my dream comes true, can I have your ear for that?
Power that drives me.
It's the power that drives me.
Do you feel the power that drives me?
It's the power, the power, the power.
It's the power that drives me.
Do you feel the power that drives me?
It's the power that drives me.
It's the power, the power, the power!
I.D., please.
Ah, there you are.
Glad you could make it tonight.
Here you go.
I had you come here because someone broke into the university.
Around midnight, a person was observed leaving the building.
You wouldn't happen to know who that might have been?
No, how?
No.
All right.
Some equipment was destroyed.
However, nothing was stolen in the process
and then the burglar must have fled from the broken window.
At 0:41 a.m., passersby heard a loud clang ...
How did he get in?
Since the evidence does not point to a forced entry, we assume
that he or she has a key.
Many have the key to the university building.
That could have been practically anyone.
After all, we're only at the beginning of our investigation.
I would therefore like to ask you a few questions.
Purely pro forma, of course.
Where were you two tonight?
What's that for all of a sudden?
Please.
These two gentlemen are absolutely trustworthy.
Let me talk to them for a minute.
All right, I'm asking you to stop by the precinct, though.
Sure.
Yeah ok.
Come with me.
And did they find anything?
Well, no, obviously there are no other traces of your research,
or else the police would have noticed it by now.
It's your lab that was destroyed.
None of the others were even touched.
I have some good news, too.
I'm in the process of organizing a new lab for you.
Until then you can store your equipment in the uni basement.
Thank you
Excuse me, could I have a word with you?
I've got a few things to take care of here.
We'll talk more later.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
The burglar was after the samples.
What, really?
Yes.
Why would anyone be interested in these and not the expensive equipment?
I don't know, but something's not right here.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Hey, but look, we were really close to being done with the cure.
And the few days it takes to re-synthesize it won't matter.
Is everything alright?
My pills are gone.
What?
You've got to be kidding me.
There are pages missing here.
Are you sure?
So I was right, the burglars weren't just after the samples,
but also after our research.
Are you crazy?
It must have been like this.
That's why they're...
What's missing? That's why they're...
What's missing?
What exactly is missing?
The exact parameter descriptions.
Hey, I took some notes. I'm sure they're at home somewhere.
I'll check.
Then do it quickly!
Calm down, okay?
I'll check.
Hello!
Are you all right?
Have you been here all night?
And what happened to your room?
Hey?
I didn't make it.
I can't think of them.
Are you really sure something's missing?
I didn't find anything at home either?
What did you think?
Your notes, they were in the lab during the break-in...
So you still think that...
Of course! That was no accident.
I'm sorry.
You have to trust me.
Hey.
You're completely overworked.
We're going outside now, okay?
They're infected, just like me.
Look here.
And here.
Did you steal the files from the university?
No. Did you steal the files from the university?
The ones from the university are fake.
These are the originals.
The disease.
It's not natural, you know?
But they can't release it yet.
While we still have the cure.
But that doesn't make sense.
It was already done.
That's why. That's why they had to destroy it.
The burglar got into the university with the key.
That's what the police told us, but they got out through a broken window.
That doesn't make any sense.
Unless they were disturbed.
Maybe there's some residue from the cure in the lab.
Maybe they didn't take everything.
Who are they? Maybe they didn't take everything.
Who are they?
Thank you.
Who are they?
Some sugar?
Thank you.
I don't want sugar.
You want me to get you another cup of coffee?
I don't want sugar.
They can't do that.
All these people.
They can't really want to release it.
It's really important that you answer the question.
Answer the question!
Where did you last see him?
Where were you that night?
How well did you know him?
Is it true you saw him here on 6/23
at 11:24 a.m.?
Start talking to me!
It's in your best self-interest.
I'll ask you again.
Where did you last see him?
Can you imagine why he killed himself?
You know him better than anyone.
Why would he do that?
Are you unable or do you just don't want to answer?
I guess that's it.
Yeah, I'll try.
It would be nice if you could help me with this.
Yeah, I'll try to...
Thank you.
Of course.
I'm sorry I've not been able to get back to you before.
It's a terrible thing that happened.
But I'm glad you're here.
I got something here.
The police just gave me this.
These are the things he had with him when he died.
His parents told me you should get it.
They won't be here themselves?
Unfortunately, they have a very busy schedule at the moment ....
What?! Their own son is dead and they can't even come by?
What?
Should we take the table too?
Or can it stay here?
Table? Yeah, I still need that.
I'm really sorry, but there's nothing I can do.
Are you moving?
I will be working at another university in the future, yes.
But why?
I...
We have to go now.
I'm sorry.
No one is available at the moment. You can leave a message after the beep. Beep.
Hello, It's me again, I know you've said you have little time, but it's really urgent.
I found records in his stuff of experiments he did without me.
He tested our cure with substances, ... Do you know anything about that?
I... Please, call me back as soon as you get this.
I didn't think you would...
Oh, it's you.
Maybe that'll distract you a bit.
Okay.
Robert wanted to come too, he had been in the USA.
He's back already?
Hey, you know, I'm just trying to help you.
I don't think he killed himself.
I can't believe it either. I...
No, I mean...
Hey, are you okay?
Now you're sick too? The flu is said to be going around at the moment.
There are others who are sick?
Hmm, I know about Marc and Hanna, and I think Kate is too.
Maybe she's just faking it, that really wouldn't be news.
Damn.
What's the matter?
I can't come to the pub. I have to go back.
Hey, you've been acting so weird lately.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I...
Concentrate!
It's not real.
What was that?
The disease.
Was it that intense for you, too?
Please! Please!
Get up!
You have to stop it!
Get up!
The stolen documents.
But what does that mean?
Oh, no.
He couldn't finish.
There must be something else here.
You have to find it!
It's our only chance.
Oh God!
They're here. You have to release it.
You!
We don't have time. Hurry!
Why did you lead us here? What's this?
This is the city waterworks.
What?
There is a way.
Maybe from the other side.
No, look again.
You have to go here. No matter how.
Are you serious?
I can't just...
That was necessary.
It's only one person. There are so many more at stake.
And, we are so close.
You must be strong now.
Get up, get up!
Go on, do it!
We can save them all.
We're running out of time. Hurry!
Release it. They're almost here.
So you had no intention of releasing it.
What, what is...
You!
Do you have any idea what I've been through?
They were after us, but you didn't believe me.
You thought I was crazy.
I should have taken it.
But you hesitated, thinking everything could go on as before.
You still don't get it, do you?
But I wanted to...
You wanted to help me?
Or were you just researching it for the prestige?
For certificates and awards.
My parents always loved you.
I, ...
Some sugar?
Drink.
Drink!
You see now?
You got me killed.
You could have stopped it.
You should have stopped it.
This all happened because of you. You knew. You just...
NO! This all happened because of you. You knew. You just...
NO!
Don't you see?
There's no conspiracy, nothing.
We're the only two who are sick.
The cough.
You didn't have it before.
It was our cure.
We must have infected ourselves somehow.
And it made you confused and so obsessed.
And me...
Don't try to stop it. You'll be back soon.
So you had them too, the changing phases.
You broke into our house.
You knew it had to be destroyed.
This is only the disease. They want you to believe that.
But don't you understand?
You can't stop both of us.
It's your fault.
Don't try to shirk responsibility.
I'll make you do it if I have to.
We'll save them all. You cannot...
NO! We'll save them all. You cannot...
NO!
You never had the guts to end it.
It's my fault.
I have to end it.
What?!
You're not real!
