(bird crows)

(steps on wood)

(Kai.) I got the bodies out of there,

because I want it to stop.

I want to show the world that we exist.

Then Marcin and Svetlana

and all the others did not die in vain.

Say something. Please.

Why didn't you to the police?

Because they would never believe me.

Marcin didn't believe me either.

Even you don't believe me.

You have to find the truth yourselves.

I can only show you the way.

You have to forget everything, what you have done so far...

...about these myths and legends you have heard.

Most of it has been invented over time.

[Breathes shakily]

[Sighs in exasperation]

I know, that you don't want to admit it...

But you have to believe me that I never wanted to kill anyone.

That I always fought against it.

(In tears) What you're talking about doesn't exist.

I have often dreamed of it, that you would find me.

I went over and over this conversation over and over in my head.

And every time you said that I was just imagining things.

That I am mentally ill.

And you're about to say exactly that.

I don't know what else to say, what else to say.

Back then you said I was a monster.

You were right.

But I didn't kill anyone, because I'm mentally ill,

but because the hunger was stronger at that moment.

I am a monster.

But not in the way you think.

Not here...

...but here.

Look at me!

Why haven't I aged?

There is a rational, natural explanation for this.

What I just told you,

IS the rational, natural explanation.

Nobody knows.

[Groans]

[Groans]

(piercing sound)

Show me.

[Kai breathes heavily]

Show me!

When I drink this, I immediately need more.

And if you don't get any more?

Are you going to kill me too?

I need an animal...

Please put the glass away.

I can help you, not to do it again,

if you trust me.

And you can accept that it...

...perhaps another explanation.

I trust you.

If you can accept that there may be none.

You can't have done this alone.

Many of the corpses are so old, you weren't even born...

There are others. This carpenter?

His father?

You have nothing to do with them. You don't know who they are.

Why do you believe all this?

Because we have the same disease!

Have you seen the face of the carpenter?

Would you recognize him? -No, not really.

Where are you going?

Voit's father and Seeger falsified your autopsy.

And your funeral.

I want to know why.

Are you going to betray me?

When I come back and you're no longer here,

I can't help you.

Because I broke the rules, they want me dead.

And you too now.

And they will try again.

(Intro music)

(Loud electronic music)

I feel dizzy. I have to go outside. -Gladly.

"Dear Gabriela, I'm writing to you, because I'm afraid for my life."

"Something is wrong with this school."

"My best friend Patrycja has been missing for weeks."

"They say she got a scholarship for a university in Argentina.

But that makes no sense."

"She wouldn't just leave, without saying goodbye to me."

"When I asked too many questions..."

(Ominous music)

(steps from below)

(door closes)

(muffled male voices, English)

I have it under control. -How do you have it under control?

The whole world is watching.

Who did this? -The boy.

-He is your responsibility. -Listen to me, please.

-You had your chance and you failed!

The time for excuses is over.

You have to end it all, make it all disappear.

Okay? You know how it works. We'll take care of your exit.

-What... my exit?

No! I have invested decades invested in all this.

-We have a new place for you.

In India. I'll accompany you... -Wait a second!

I don't need a new seat!

-This is your circle. You are here responsible for everything...

(Screams) Do you know who I am?!

(laughter)

-We know who you used to be. -But you are no longer that man.

-I have a plan. I've been solving problems like this for...

-No, no. This is not a negotiation.

You do what we tell you!

Or I make a phone call.

-Stop... stop!

-Either you end it... or we do it for you.

[Screams unintelligibly]

(chair smashed)

[Groans in frustration]

(creaking wood)

(Dirt trickles)

[Breathes loudly]

(Exciting music)

(Door opens slowly)

(bird crows)

Marek?

(Ominous music)

(cell phone vibrates)

Yes?

Have you shown the box to anyone?

No.

Can we see each other? We need to talk.

I'll be outside the church in 30 minutes.

At the memorial event. Let's meet there.

Hello! -Yes, hello!

Hellooo! -Hello.

Sorry, just very briefly. Pia wants to show Grandpa something. -Hello mouse!

Wait, I'm going to grandpa's, hold on. Everything good with you?

(Yes! When can you go home?

Me? Yes, soon. Very soon.

Here. Pia wants to see you.

Hello grandpa! -Hello grandpa!

Hello you two.

(Little child) Ooopaa!

(Pia) Grandpa, watch this!

Oh, nice!

(Do it like this, as you did before.

(Are you watching, Grandpa?

(Careful! Careful!

Yes.

What do you say, Grandpa?

[Justus laughs]

Look how high I can climb.

Yes, nice.

Dad has to go.

[Sighs]

You can call Grandpa on the landline.

With video! -No, video will not be only this evening.

You can call grandpa and then and then you can say goodnight to him, yeah?

Just a moment, please... (Hangs up)

(piercing sound)

(Edith) What has happened here, cannot be put into words.

And I don't even want to not even try.

Together we have already survived disasters together.

We are facing another dam break,

that could destroy our village could destroy it for good.

Every one of us must now lend a hand again!

We must support the police in their work.

And I hear everywhere,

that nobody heard anything or wants to have heard anything.

Whoever knows something,

should be sure that we are all all stand behind him or her.

It is our duty to do everything to do everything in our power,

to find answers.

For us, for Krewlow, but above all...

...for the victims.

The only thing that is probably worse than the crimes themselves,

is the fact that all this is still...

...has not been cleared up.

And that the perpetrator or perpetrators could still be among us.

It is the agonizing questions in your faces that I see.

I want to ask you all one of these questions:

How could this happen among us all these years,

without us noticing anything?

We are all partly responsible, perhaps even complicit...

Krewlow, the police...

...and apparently the whole world...

...is still still faces a great mystery.

I would like to take this fear away from you and appeal to our...

Can you leave us alone for a moment, please?

Whoever knows something should be sure,

that we all stand together behind him or her.

We should not judge anyone...

And we should all the more not judge anyone prematurely,

who seems suspicious to us. Both...

I needed your help back then.

But you, like everyone else,

gave me the feeling that I was crazy.

Do you still think that I'm crazy?

Mm-mm.

I need your help again now and I can't tell you what for.

You just have to trust me.

Can you do that for me?

Mhm.

What happened?

Someone tried to kill me.

I couldn't recognize anyone.

Where have you been? -I can't tell you that.

Not yet.

...both as an individual, and as a village community.

Someone wants to prevent us from finding out the truth.

-Who?

-I don't know.

I appeal to our cohesion in these difficult times.

We do nothing before we know,

who or what we are dealing with.

What is the status with you?

No traces on the bodies.

The pit was constantly flooded.

That has destroyed all destroyed all the foreign DNA.

The victims are mostly people that nobody misses.

Homeless people, junkies...

We do not know who the survivor was,

what he has to do with it. The theory is,

that your father and Powder Paul are responsible for this. -Okay.

Maggie?

How can I help you if you don't tell me what you're up to?

Mmm?

...Krewlow will now be forever

with these terrible events be connected.

It's better for you if you don't know.

...What that will be is up to us.

Thank you all, for coming in such large numbers,

and I very much hope for our village, that it will all be cleared up.

Let us now pause for a moment

and in a minute's silence

remember the many victims!

What did she want?

Nothing.

Tearing open old wounds.

(Ominous music)

(Car approaching fast)

Do you know where Marek is?

I thought you were going to tell me. I'm lost without Marek.

He's not answering his cell phone. What was going on?

Give me his address. Then I'll drive there.

(Funeral song is sung)

Is everything okay?

Maggie?

Voit is about to come and ask, what I wanted. Don't tell him anything, okay?

[Stutters]

What did Maggie want from you?

Nothing. Just to say hello. -Do you know where she's going?

Just ask her yourself. What's wrong with you two?

Can you drive me home? Marek actually wanted to be here

and give me a lift, but never showed up.

-Yes?

I have to drive my friend home. I'll see you later.

(cell phone tone)

(crows)

(rustling on the floor)

(piercing sound)

(bird calls and fluttering)

(rustling)

(Crows)

(fluttering)

(bird crows)

(Sound and heartbeat become louder)

(Footsteps in the undergrowth)

(Knock on the door)

(Polish) Is there anyone out there?

Come in?

What are you doing here?

Excuse me. I've never seen you here before.

Are you German?

Um...

I am Filip.

Um...

I stay here from time to time.

I don't mind, when we're here together.

(drone swells)

(key turns in the lock)

"Every few weeks you have to donate blood here."

"A man does it every time, But he's not a doctor."

"I'm always scared, when I have to go to him."

"The food is weird.

We all have to take take tablets."

"Vitamins, says the principal."

"Sugar and alcohol are forbidden."

"Yesterday I refused the tablet,

and was locked up."

"And they threatened me."

"The other students believe everything what you tell them."

"I believe that Patrycja was murdered."

"I know that sounds crazy."

"Nobody here says or asks anything."

"Everyone is terrified.

You are totally intimidated here."

And?

Did the letter spoiled your appetite? Are you afraid?

The letter is just a Halloween prank. Nothing else.

I didn't read the letter...

Someone was there, and I had to hide.

Don't tell me that they caught you. -No.

But there were those strange men again.

In Klozniak's office.

I could hear them from the attic.

They said some really strange things.

One of them is completely freaked out.

What kind of people are they?

I don't know. Sounds like school investors.

Someone is paying for all this.

They were not investors.

How do you know that?

You sound paranoid.

Better not read the letter. Have you put it back?

What did Maggie talk to you about? -Nothing. Why?

Uh, it's this way to me. -If you don't tell me,

you hinder my work.

I don't know anything! She didn't tell me anything.

Asked about the sale of land asked. Did she get that from you? -No.

Where are you going?

(Metallic noises)

(Metallic noises in the room)

(cutting noises)

(German soldier.

Come here. I'll show you,

how you sometimes even with such an old corpse...

...can determine the cause of death.

(cutting noises)

I know what you did.

You're on a ghost hunt.

You are ill! You should talk to a psychologist!

I'm sorry.

I have a DNA sample from the body in Kai's grave.

Whoever you buried there, Kai is not.

I don't believe a word you say!

To be honest...

...I feel threatened by you.

(cell phone dial tone)

I'm not threatening you. -If you don't leave now I'll call the police.

Now you can feel threatened.

You're not going to leave me sit here now.

Wait here.

Roland!

(And now the truth.

You wouldn't do that.

I'm desperate, Frank. Maybe you're right:

I need a psychologist. Unfortunately, there's no one around at the moment.

Only you.

[Wimmert]

And me!

You'll end up in jail for this. -An anonymous phone call

with the reference to Kai's grave, you'll end up in jail.

[Scream of terror]

I was paid.

From whom?

I don't know.

Just a voice on the phone.

They said, if I don't take the money,

I'm dead! -Where does the money come from?

Ask Justus Voit.

Maggie! Wait...

(heartbeat)

(Polish) Help yourself.

[Filip sighs]

Ren & Stimpy.

Do you know that?

Best series.

Watched all the episodes 100 times.

What is the series about?

Ren Hoëk is a neurotic, asthmatic Chihuahua,

and Stimpson "Stimpy" J. Katzwinkel...

...is a fat, stupid cat.

(Distorted) Well, they both experience abstract adventures

in a cartoon world,

stylized as a caricature of the USA in the mid-20th century.

[Laughs] I'll tell you...

[Heartbeat]

[Laughter echoes]

Anyway...

You have to have seen it. -I ran away from home too.

[Filip laughs]

But that was a very long time ago.

Dude...

I have something to show you.

You've never seen anything like it.

All vampire books.

Whoever hid this, must have been a real freak.

First I came here, to take a shot,

then to read.

I've already read a few.

And while reading I noticed something:

Vampires are junkies, dude.

Nothing but junkies.

Just like us.

I assume we're not going to my place, are we?

Just forget it. Can you get the wheelchair out of the back?

I come home alone.

(knocking, doorbell)

Justus?

Justus!

Open the fucking door!

Justus?

Justus...

[Steps on the stairs]

Dad?

No!

[Screams]

(I just wanted to visit him. We haven't seen each other for a long time.

(Adrian) I can't get up the stairs up the stairs alone. -Wanted to...

I used to in and out of here.

(Zajak) They climbed through the window.

Nobody opened it.

I had a strange feeling.

Voit has a key.

Yes, I don't have one.

Didn't want to waste any time.

[Adrian arguing in the background]

At the meeting today,

What did you talk to Voit about? -So, That's enough for today.

Listen to me, Justus was like an uncle to us.

[Zajak sighs]

Three old sandbox friends.

You stick together, don't you? -We didn't have any sandpits.

Good.

(Take your time.

I wait outside.

When my father said she had left us,

I just accepted it.

I don't know why, I just believed it.

Until I saw the pile of corpses, there...

...I thought for a moment...

What if she's lying there?

We always had to go to the cellar my mother and me.

At night.

When our fathers have met here.

I have no idea, what they were talking about...

But there was also a man there. I never saw his face.

They put pressure on my father under pressure. Blackmailed him, Maggie.

(Justus.) I can't do that.

(Roland) Until he put up a fight.

(Man.) You just have to give Seeger the money.

(Roland) Then my mother was gone.

From one day to the next. No farewell.

She wouldn't do that!

It broke my father. But the meetings have stopped.

Except for one time.

Once, July '97.

There he came again, this man.

And they talked about Kai.

And they gave my father money. -For Seeger.

Nope. My father always said...

That's because of Jessen, the country. -Why didn't you ever tell me that?

Because I was afraid of losing my father of losing my father too...

...and you.

I thought the two of us and our baby just get out of here.

Somewhere. Far away.

Just start again.

Three of them.

I'm sorry.

I'll give you as much time as I can.

The forensics are through. Are you finished here?

(Filip) Did you get from the mountain of corpses

on the other side in Germany?

We live on a rocket, flying through the cosmos.

Good and evil? That doesn't matter.

The universe doesn't give a damn about us.

I don't mean that in a negative way, it's just that.

In a few hundred years our species will be extinct,

if there are a few dead bodies over there.

Do you know what I mean?

That's why it doesn't matter, if I take another shot.

(heartbeat) (piercing sound)

Hey! What are you doing?

Aah, fuck.

[Groans in pain]

Are you insane? -You don't know what you're talking about!

[Chokes]

[Filip gasps for air]

If you had seen death,

you would know that life is important.

Fuck you, dude. What's wrong with you?

(piercing sound)

[Breathes with relief]

Tell me:

Do you not care about your life at this moment?

[Filip gasps]

Leave now. Never show your face here again.

Go home.

Go to rehab. Get your life back on track.

If I see you again, I'll kill you.

(Heart races, sound stops)

(sheep mowing)

(Two voices faintly perceptible)

(sounds of tableware)

I have found Kai.

You don't need to no longer need to fool me.

I want to know what you did to him.

Where you dragged him into it... I want the whole truth.

Someone tried to to kill me.

Where I found Kai, at Buczek's house.

Two people knew where I was going. One of them is you.

We have nothing to do with it, but you are in danger!

You have to stop! You have to get away from here!

Justus Voit has hanged himself.

You used it to cover your tracks. to cover your tracks. But why Kai?

Why Kai's fake funeral?

So you can get out of here.

You would never have left otherwise. -And why?

So that you can continue in peace?

How many of those out there have you killed? How many Kai? Huh?

He told me things that I can't believe.

You and he have a disease.

You need blood to live.

To survive.

Why would he say that?

There are others, who have the same thing.

Another family.

They tried, Kai to join them.

A man in carpenter's clothes and his father. Who are they?

[Wimmert]

I know the carpenter, he was with us.

You chased him away. Who is that?

And who is the father?

Did you meet at Justus', back then?

Roland has seen you. Is that the second of '47?

The second suspect? Your old friend - is that him?

Say it!

Did you together Roland's mother?

[Gasps for air]

It wasn't me!

(Arthur, stop it!

[Gasps for air and coughs]

(Stop with your questions.

Please stop with your questions.

The answers will cost you your life.

[Sheep mowing]

"There are two men here,

that nobody knows who they really are."

"One of them is missing two fingers,

the other is just called 'boss' by everyone."

"Everyone is afraid of him. Even the principal."

"Yesterday I stole stole the boss's wallet

and learned that his name is Marek Gorski."

"Tonight I'm running away and send this letter."

"I hope I can get out of here."

"I'm so scared!"

(door opens)

Show me.

(table top creaks)
