All language subtitles for Black Island 2021

NETFLIX PRESENTS

Oh, aren't you a beauty?

I haven't seen you here lately.

Help me!

Come� give your condolences
to your granddad.

Why me?

Go.

4 MONTHS LATER

I just don't know
how long this can go on.

Between you and your father.

One of you will have to be the bigger man.

-For Jonas.
-Yeah.

What's he doing?

Is he insane?

Take one.

I tricked the old people.

It's all champagne
with a bit of orange juice.

Come on, take it.

He's moving to Bavaria.

He will be okay.

Guess what?
In the Alps, there are no sins.

Cheers.

Hey.

Hey.

Have this.

Just a recipe that your cousin made up.

So I heard you're moving.

Yeah.

I'm gonna live at my aunt's.

This is such a mess.

-Hey!
-Okay.

Shit.

Yeah, shit.

What does he want now?

Out of my nose.

I'm Friedrich Hansen.
I'm Jonas's grandfather.

Nina Cohrs.

Nice to meet you.

Jonas�

I know that we haven't�

been in touch for a long time.

It would have been nice to speak
with your father at some point,

but I� I get it.

Maybe now it's time for us to�

remember that we are a family after all.

If you want to stay on the island,

I'd be happy to have you.

You're more than welcome to stay with me
until you're 18.

Why don't you think about it.

Paper, scissors. Paper, scissors.

1 YEAR LATER

-Hey!
-Hey.

How was it?

No more vacations with my mom and sister.

And why is that?

Two adults should not have to travel
with an eight-year-old.

They shouldn't have to adapt to her level.

For three whole weeks. Lots of fun.

But your photos on Instagram
looked pretty fun.

Well, who would admit
that their vacation was boring?

Come on, let's sit over there.

Flo just doesn't get it.

Hey.

Why are you in here?

Follow me.

So, as you've probably all heard by now,

Mr. Meineke had an accident in Mallorca.

I'm Helena Jung, and I'm going to be
teaching your German lessons.

At least until Mr. Meineke feels better.

So with that being said,

seems I'll be seeing you
through your final year of school.

I think of the word "chance,"
and that it has two different meanings.

This job has basically fallen on me.

And perhaps
that is the true meaning of life,

accepting challenges that come to you.

Go ahead, everyone. Take a walk.

Celebrate life.

I'd like us to use our first hour together
to do just that.

Perhaps you can all send
some positive thoughts to Mr. Meineke

so that he makes a full recovery.

Okay, off you go.

I can't stand her already.

-What happened to him, anyway?
-Something in Mallorca.

Yeah, but what?

Landslide.
Hiking by the sea next to a slope.

Shit.

Hopefully, he'll be back soon.

Hey, I was wondering if any of you
could give me a hand this afternoon.

I'm still moving in.
I need help assembling my wardrobe.

I can't do it myself.

-In the bedroom?
-Yeah.

That's usually where wardrobes go.

Count me in, then.
And Jonas too.

Yeah.

Count me in too.

Oh, God. I'm sorry.

Does anyone else
want some of my breakfast?

At least it's not smelly cheese.

Let's say three o'clock? Great.

I live at the end of Lake Street.
There's only one house there.

There'll be beer.

You've never had beer before, or what?

-Hey.
-Hey.

You haven't gone home yet?

No, haven't had time.

You've been stalking me on Insta?

Yeah, I follow you. So what?

But you don't give likes.

-That's asking a bit much.
-Jerk.

Out of the way,
slowpokes!

-See you later! Whoo!
-Oh, great.

-Hey, Nina. Glad you could make it.
-Hey.

The guys are already upstairs.
They could use a little supervision.

Doesn't look like
they can handle the wardrobe alone.

Right, good-for-nothings.

Do you know how to cut flooring?

I have no idea.

-But I'll figure it out by this evening.
-Awesome. What I wanted to hear. Come.

So now we need to mount this part
on top of it?

Okay�

I think that's right.

God, I can't figure this out.

Why does this piece slide out?

You have to hold it.

We-- we are holding it!

Here, grab this.

One� Let go. Two�

Okay, are you ready?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

One, two, three�

Impossible.

TO: SXF BERLIN SCH�NEFELD
PMI PALMA DE MALLORCA

Can I help you?

I was just looking for a piece of wood
to cut the edge.

Let me take a look.

-Would this work?
-Sure.

There you are, Ms. Jung.

Call me Helena
as long as we're outside of school.

-Helena�
-No, wait-- shit!

Fuck, shit.

Oh, man.

-I don't think that's right.
-I don't know.

If you guys hold it steady at the bottom,
then we can try again, okay?

-Okay.
-Let's do it.

Do it right.

Yeah, done. Thank you, gentlemen.

Couldn't have done it without you.
At least it didn't take as long.

We actually forgot
to put in the rear panel.

So we have to take it all apart?

Yeah.

Oh, God! Nina, what happened to you?

I think I cut myself.

Come. Sit down over here.

-I'll take off your shoe, okay?
-Mm-hmm.

It hurts.

It's all my fault. I'm so sorry.

We should get you to the hospital.

-Mm-mm.
-Just to be safe.

Do you have a car?

No, I don't.
I can just call an ambulance.

Why don't we take my moped?
It'll be way faster.

Please, no ambulance.

Yeah, okay.

Too dumb to cut flooring.

Time to cross that job off the list.

You'll need that diploma more than ever.

Let me know when you get to your house.
I can bring your bike over.

-You ready?
-Yeah.

Phew.

See you later.

Yeah.

Let's see�

-You okay?
-Yeah.

Thanks.

-Good luck.
-Bye.

It sucks.

Mm-hmm.

I put your bike back in the garage.

Thank you.

Get well soon.

-Oh!Morning.
-Morning.

Oh wow. It's so beautiful here.

Now I remember
why I moved here from Berlin, you know?

Is Nina better?

Yeah� yeah, she'll be fine. I think
it was more the shock that scared her.

Good to hear. I'm the one to blame
in that situation.

Are you guys an item?

-No.
-You sure?

No idea. We'll see.

The sun is a lone warrior.

What do you mean?

Well�

Every night is the very last night.

But nothing can get in the way of the sun.

That's pretty.

It's poetic.

Well, I think so.

Rilke.

Rainer Maria.

That is the short form of his name
which he is commonly known by.

Except by all you, of course.

Let's make it short.

Go look on the internet.
See what you can find there.

On this paper are three of his best poems.

Pass these around.
They're my favorite ones too.

I guess
since I've already shown you my taste�

I want you all to write a poem too.

And I want you to sound like Rilke.

I know it's a tough assignment.
Challenges will make you all grow.

I need professional help.
This poem is too much.

Hold on, coming.

I'll take that for you.

Okay, hold on to me. All right?

I feel like I'm an old granny.

Well, come sit down over here, granny.

I'll get you something to drink, okay?

Easy now.

Slow and steady.

Not so fast, not so fast.

Watch out, there's a turn here.

Now let me please take your bag, ma'am.

Sit down slowly.

Water or juice?

How about we have a beer?

Beer it is. I'll be right back.

Wow, that turned out really nice.

Read the ending again, please.

"If you listen,

quietly--"

A lady's here!

Well, this is a surprise.

Would you like to stay for dinner?

Do you?

Sure, why not?

To write like Rilke, huh?

I was so happy that
I almost got sick, but Jonas saved me.

Is that so?

So you think Jonas is a good writer?

It must run in the family.

Jonas told me that
his father wanted to be a writer as well.

I think he said it to my mom once
when I was a kid.

Is it true?

He could have said
something like that.

He probably saw me at my desk.

Can you pass me the butter, please?

Did you used to write as well?

No.

I didn't want to end up broke at 20.

That's why I prefer to correct essays.

May I read what you wrote?

Your work.

Yes, you can.

Only if you're not going to grade it.

Oh, don't worry, my dear.
A retired teacher�

�will not give you a grade.

And?

What did you think?

Rilke is always Rilke.

No offense to you, my boy, okay?

You can't help it if your teacher
fills your head with that nonsense.

Could you pass the bratwurst?

Thank you.

"If you listen quietly,

You are going to hear it in the wind

Look to the sky, full of eternal hope

There, a star will guide you

For the sun is a warrior

Though it falls, it rises once more"

Jonas?

Do you have a minute?

You wrote a wonderful poem, really.

Thank you.

Especially the one that Nina wrote.

So you thought it was better?

Yeah, a little.

I'm sorry, Ms. Jung.

Helena.

But we are at school right now.

But no one is here.

No, I mean it.

It's a beautiful poem.
I think you're really talented.

Now tell me�
how long have you been writing for?

I've basically written my whole life.

Show me some of it.

Have you ever shown it to anyone before?

If you do have something
that I could read,

I'll always give you my honest opinion.

Okay, thanks.

Jonas!

I'm here.

-You definitely scared me.
-Hi.

Is this for me?

I'm afraid so.

Come inside.

Please, make yourself at home.
I'm going to take a shower.

Get comfortable.

Okay.

I'll be quick.

So?

My bad.

No, I'm sorry.

Hey.

Sorry.

Everything okay?

You're my teacher.

Yeah, and we're both adults.

So you're free to make your own decisions.

No need to say anything.

I thought yesterday was nice.

-Look where you're going.
-I am!

You look weird on the road.

I'm not worried about it.

Hey!

Oh, man, Nina. You are so stupid.

I can't believe
that Jonas has a thing for Ms. Jung.

Do you think it's true?

Ugh.

It is true.

And here I thought he liked you.

What I've read so far
is sounding pretty good.

You are all becoming little Rilkes.

Some even big ones.

Please continue your work at home.

I'll be right out.

-Tell Jonas I'll be a minute.
-Yeah, okay.

Ms. Jung?

Can you talk for a second?

Yeah, of course.

I feel a bit guilty

about the grade you gave me
on the Rilke assignment.

-Never gotten such a high grade in German.
-You earned the grade I gave you.

I didn't.

Jonas earned the grade.

What do you mean?

I couldn't do the homework alone.

My writing talent
is sort of on par with a squashed apricot.

That's an interesting phrase.
You're not that untalented, you know.

Amusing.

Anyway, Jonas helped me with it.

A labor of love.

Well, in that case,
why don't we turn a blind eye.

How long have you been with him?
I didn't even notice you two.

We've known each other awhile.

If you promise to at least
give writing a try in the future,

then I won't
deduct from your grade further.

Let's say as a reward
for your work yet to be done.

But I'm gonna keep an eye on you.

I'll call you later, okay?

Bye.

What did you two have to discuss?

I had a guilty conscience.

I told her that I didn't write the poem.

-Yeah, she spoke to me about it.
-Why? That's weird.

I don't know. I guess she's smart.

Are you sure
that you want to sell the house?

I don't know.

But I think�

everything's just gathering dust.

Give yourself a bit of time, at least.

-What does your grandfather say?
-Oh, him�

-It was rude of him the other day.
-Yeah, you could say that.

Now I understand
why my dad never spoke to him again.

He has a way
of making you feel like you're inadequate.

When I didn't eat my vegetables,

my mother used to sit me on this thing.

She would take turns
feeding me and then the horse.

Half of it ended up on the floor.

My mom scolded the horse
for not eating it all up.

But at least
she got some vitamins in me.

Look, I know that you're scared.

Because you lost your mom.

But I promise you won't lose me.

Dear parents�

50 YEARS
KLAUS MANN SCHOOL

�dear students, dear colleagues,

it's a special honor
to invite this esteemed man to the stage.

Our guest speaker and longtime principal

of our high school,
the great Dr. Friedrich Hansen.

Dear Mr. Hansen,
I think it's no exaggeration

that without you,
there would be no anniversary.

Shit, I thought the speech
would be over by now.

Believe me,
your name still strikes like thunder

in the halls of this renowned school.

Are you sure?

Oh, yeah.

In the mid-'80s, when authorities in Kiel
wished to close down our superb school,

-because the birth rate in our island�
-Check it out.

�was at an all-time low,

the state had a change of heart.

-Okay, it's now or never.
-It was pure luck.

The new minister of education
was a friend of mine.

And when it comes to old friends of yours,
you know a few secrets that�

-should not be shared with the public.
-Here, take this.

Ms. Lindemann,

I admit sometimes you have to adapt
the means of circumstances.

For the good of the public.

Look over there.

Grandpa? Hey! Hey.

Don't worry, I'm fine.

Can you get a chair?

No cause for alarm.

And?

Now he wants red wine.

-Can I help you out with him?
-No, it's fine.

He's resting in bed, and he thinks
that wine will help him fall asleep.

Are you sure you want to give him
the whole bottle?

Do you think he knows Jung?

Your grandfather. Does he know her?

Why would he know her?

Because they stared at each other.

Don't look at me
like I've totally lost it.

It happened.

Okay.

One second. I'm bringing him the alcohol.

-Now everyone's crazy.
-I heard you say that.

It's really
not as bad as it looks.

Do you really think
that wine will be good for you now?

I don't think it, I know!
There's a big difference.

Is Nina still here?

This is very embarrassing.

You can tell her
that I didn't drink enough water,

and I fell down.

You don't have to worry.

Okay, maybe you think I'm totally crazy,
but I saw it with my own eyes.

-What did you see?
-When Ms. Jung arrived at the schoolyard,

your grandfather looked as though
he saw a ghost, and then he collapsed.

Okay, you are crazy.

That's not all.
She stared at him in the same way.

Like she wanted to provoke him.
And she also cut her hair.

-You didn't see her, did you?
-No.

You trust me?

Just forget it. Good night.

Nina.

Nina, please wait.
Explain it to me again, okay?

It's�

Hey�

I-- I don't want to argue with you.

Jonas?

Jonas!

Shit.

11:37 AM

Come on, you two! Step it up a notch!

-Why don't you run yourself?
-Why are you so bitter this morning?

Because I saw that bitch
leave his house earlier.

Ms. Jung?

-Are you kidding me?
-No, she came out of his house.

He's an asshole.

He kisses me, and then fucks
that stupid bitch. I don't get it.

-Maybe she saw his grandpa.
-Yeah, sure.

He looked at her so strangely.

Wait a second.

You saw it as well? I didn't imagine it?

You know the weirdest thing?
My father saw Ms. Jung there too.

And at breakfast this morning,

he said one of his teachers
looked just like her.

Did she have short or long hair?

The way she looked yesterday,
so probably short hair.

Nina! Come on, stop talking now!

Leave me alone.

Ms. Klausen,
please be understanding right now.

Are you better?

Yeah, I am better.

However, I'd rather
you didn't go to school today.

Do we need to call a doctor for you?

You don't need to.

So in that case, can I go to school?

Is it because of Ms. Jung?

Nina said that you were staring at her.

Then you fell over.

She's seeing ghosts.

Do you know Ms. Jung?

"Ms. Jung"? Is that her name?

I found this outside this morning,
but I didn't see Nina.

Are you sure you really don't know her?

No, how could I?

I have to go to school.
Call me if you need me.

The old yearbooks
aren't digitized yet,

but you can look at the physical copy
if you like.

Otherwise,
you'd have to check the archives,

-see what you can find.
-Thanks.

What did Nina want? Maybe I can help her.

She wanted to see old yearbooks
for a project on our school's history.

Got it. Not my subject.

WELCOME - STAFF 1986

Nina is inside in the library.

-What makes you think I'm looking for her?
-I don't know. You tell me.

Sometimes I get the feeling
that you are messed up.

Hm. Have a nice day.

KLAUS-MANN SCHOOL
YEARBOOK 1985

Whoa, crazy.
You should have stayed home, man.

STAFF 1985

MARIA ROTH
GERMAN

You were in Mallorca
at the same time as Mr. Meineke.

What do you want from Jonas?

And why did you come to our island?

Still not getting it.
Can you explain it again?

Okay, I'll do that just for you.

And so,
adenine and thymine belong together.

Jonas!

Hello.

Hey, wait up a minute.

I'm kind of in a rush to find somebody.

Please promise me.
If your grandfather needs anything,

would you let me know right away?

I will. Thank you.

-Got any plans now?
-No, just biology.

-More tomorrow.
-Yay.

Nina?

Nina?

Jonas?

Where were you today?

My grandfather's not feeling well.

Yeah, I heard that.
What happened to him?

Do you know if Nina's around?

No, I think she might have left already.

I just came from the library.

Jonas.

That was a nice dream last night.

Yeah. Yeah. Where's her library card?

Well, then you need
to come here right now.

Hello, Ms. Jung.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Hello.

Ms. Jung.

Mm.

-What can I do for you?
-Sorry to disturb you.

I guess I'm just a bit flustered today.

Would you be able
to help me out with some duct tape?

For my moving boxes.

-Are you moving again?
-No, no, I'm still moving in.

How do you like
our little island?

I never want to leave it.

Well, if you want,
I can show you our nightlife around here.

I mean, the one bar on the island.

Hey, would you happen to have some string?

-Looking good, doesn't it?
-Totally.

-What about there?
-We'll get that area as well.

You are always the one
finding them. What's that say about you?

Can you get me the stupid bag?

Look at these shitty tourists,
can't they screw on a different island?

-Ugh!
-Do you know where Nina is?

Thought you already asked me that.

-Maybe. So where is she?
-Maybe she's avoiding you.

-Wasn't she at the library?
-Only Ms. Jung was there.

-Fuck.
-What's wrong?

Nothing.

-Then why that look, then?
-Yeah, what's that look for?

Come on, shut up.

Was her bike still there?

-When you left school earlier?
-No idea.

Shit, I didn't even think of that.

Hey, kids. This is Nina.
You're calling outside my business hours.

I NEED TO SEE YOU. IT'S URGENT. JONAS.

WHERE?

Nina disappeared.

-May I come in?
-Yeah, sure.

What do you mean she disappeared?

Her cell phone's off.
I haven't heard from her.

But I saw her in the library
this afternoon.

Did she say anything to you?

Nina is jealous of us.

Unfortunately, she saw me
leaving your house early this morning.

Fuck.

I'm guessing
she's riding around on her bike right now.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean
to put you in this situation.

-Yeah, but you did.
-I just wanted you last night.

So you just creep into my house
in the middle of the night, then?

-Who does that?
-Hold on.

It didn't seem to bother you last night.

Where are your wine glasses?

They're above the sink.

You grew up in this house?

Yeah, we used to live here.

-Until last year.
-Up until the accident.

Awful. I heard about it.

Maybe we should end it.

I don't know
what's right or wrong anymore.

Yeah, well I do.

Go and write.

Tell that to my grandfather.

He was convinced my father
would end up under a bridge.

'Cause if I'm not Schiller,
or Goethe, or fucking Kafka,

then he doesn't even want me to try.

You will not end up under a bridge.

And you're not accountable to anyone
as far as your life is concerned.

I'm gonna walk out the door.

And we will be friends from now on.

Nina will calm down.

You'll have three kids.

And you will write your novels.

You'll get what you want.

Wait�

Short hair looks good on you.

Where were you?

-I was hanging out with someone.
-With Nina?

Or with that teacher of yours?

At least she thinks I can write

and doesn't think
that there's no money in it.

You might have succeeded with my dad,
but you are not gonna stop me.

Jonas!

Get up, get up!

They found Nina's dead body on the beach.

No! Nina!

No!

No!

Nina!

No!

Does your grandfather
have a history of seizures?

Cases of epilepsy,
maybe anyone in your family?

When you're done,
please get me 50 milligrams of sedatin.

-Of course.
-Thank you.

So any known cases in your family?

I really don't know.

We'll give you a sedative to take home.

Have a seat.

You better go home soon and get some rest.

Your grandfather is stable and resting.
This is a good sign.

-Can you escort your friend to his house?
-Of course.

Don't worry. We'll call as soon
as your grandfather regains consciousness.

I promise.

Hey.

The doctor said you should take these.

I don't want to feel numb.

Where's Jule?

With Nina's mother.

I don't understand.

Nina would never let the tide
take her by surprise.

Tell us what you told Nina.

About your father, who had this teacher
who looked like Ms. Jung.

When was it?

It must have been�

�sometime between 1984 and 1988.

The page is missing.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Helena Jung. I'm here to see my father,
Friedrich Hansen.

Here.

CLASS OF 1985
OF THE KLAUS-MANN SCHOOL

PRINCIPAL FRIEDRICH HANSEN
AND GERMAN TEACHER MARIA ROTH

Type her name into it.

SEARCH TERM - MARIA ROTH - SEARCH

WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN TIDELANDS

That was four years later.

"The body of former German teacher
Maria Roth

was found in the water on the main beach
early yesterday morning."

"According to rescue workers,
she had drowned, but�

it is still not known if it was due
to a third-party negligence."

Shh.

It's okay.

The doctor said you can't speak yet

because you bit your tongue so hard
when you fell.

And your motor functions
are limited as well due to the seizure.

Don't worry, you're okay.

What's important is that you see me�
and that you hear me.

Do you think of her when you look at me?

My mother was so in love with you.

When she was pregnant with me,
she actually believed you'd choose us.

But you decided to abandon her.

I remember what happened
as if it was yesterday.

Standing next to you.

You decided to send us away.

Mom took me to the beach that morning.

She attempted to hide her tears from me.

I'll never forget the look in her eyes.

So desperate.

So sad.

She put me down in the sand
and said that I had to wait.

She wanted to talk to you,

but she never came back to me.

So I just sat there by myself�

�all night long, until the morning.

I was a four-year-old girl.

A fishermen came by,

and the police arrived.

Blue lights and sirens, all of that.

They'd found her body in the surf.

You murdered my mother.

Don't worry.

I won't be the one to kill you.

But I'll take what you love most.

Just like you did with my life.

And the only one who's left now is Jonas.

Helena!

Can you open the door?

Good morning.

I've spoken with the doctor,
and he agreed it would be best

if your grandfather is cared for at home.

The hospital will send a nurse
every morning to help out with him.

Why did the doctor talk to you?

-Need some help?
-No, thank you.

I'm so sorry about what happened to Nina.

Where should we put him?

Why don't you put him in the living room.

Tell me, why are you�
involved in all of this?

When I heard about what happened,
I went and looked for you.

I went to the hospital,
and the doctor spoke with me.

Did your mother used to teach German?

Is she Maria Roth?

Yeah.

What does my grandfather
know about her?

Answer it.

I'll get some coffee,
and we can talk about it.

She's about to tell me everything.

I'll call you--
I'll call you in a little, okay?

She's coming. Talk later.

Now I can understand
why my mother really liked this island.

Why did you tear that one page
out of the yearbook?

Because my mother was on that page.

She was desperately in love
with your grandfather.

They were meant to be together.

Was there a kid?

Well, I suppose
that would make me your aunt.

Your grandfather is a murderer.

He killed my poor mother.

For the simple fact that she wanted him
to be there for his daughter.

I guess I'm sorry about Nina.

But she'd have talked to you.

And then you would've
found out about everything.

And that couldn't happen.

Come.

It'll be okay.
I just drugged you a little.

It's all good.

It's okay.

Come on.

Everything's okay.

It's all okay.

It's all okay.

It's all okay.

When you read this,
I will not be alive anymore.

I have tried everything.
I gave you your freedom.

I showed you with all of my heart,

with all of my soul,
how much I truly love you.

But I realize it was all in vain.

Now I recognize
that you only care about one thing�

�dignity.

An illegitimate child from an affair�

doesn't fit in here.

I had at least hoped

the sight of your daughter
would stir something deep in your heart.

I will not be leaving this island.

Maybe there is part of me
in our daughter

that you will come to love.

All yours, Maria.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

Are you from the island?

I'm not sure I get it.
This is your island here.

Why is it the only black one?
