"No fractures." "No open wounds." "She's regained consciousness." "We're here to help." "No, it's better if you lie down." "Here, help me." "It's safest, to help you out..." "It's OK." "If you'd just come with us into the car..." "Help..." "CHAPTER 8:" "THE RAZOR'S EDGE" "Is her condition still critical?" "Too bad." "But what about our Ástrún?" "The police just brought here in, she's very upset." "She claims that her name is Sólveig." "Yes, that sounds familiar." "She's full of delusions." "She's been unmedicated for the past 24 hours and is not aware of her own illness." "The delusions will get worse if she's not medicated." "I see." "She's been telling us about some revolution." "There is one more thing." "She has a pathological fear of needles, so I suggest slipping them in her drink." "No need to worry Torfi, we'll deal with her and send her back to you once we have her stable." "Thanks very much." "We'll think of something, Julius." "We'll think of something," "Oh, thanks." "Odda?" "Is she alright?" "It's too early to tell, but let's hope for the best." "Didn't someone go up to Heimsendir?" "Don't you worry about that." "I'm not to worry about that?" "You don't have to, it's in good hands now." "You have to understand, someone must go up there..." "We understand, we're working on it." "Right now it's best for you to get some rest." "I don't need rest..." "You put something in my glass?" "I have to go back." "I am a psychiatric nurse!" "I am a psychiatric nurse!" "Dear comrades, our moment of destiny draws near." "The world is waiting to strike against us, and we will be punished harshly if we're not ready." "Now is not the time to falter." "Odda's fate is a strong example of what the world has in store for all of us." "She is a role model for us." "She sacrificed herself for the cause." "We must be prepared to do the same, to give everything we've got right to our last breath." "Our community is unique and they will try to destroy it." "We will not allow that to happen!" "Never lose faith!" "Trust your abilities!" "They are your best weapon." "They're here." "What's with the windows?" "What's that?" "And swallow." "Is this good for them?" "If it's good for us, then it's good for them." "What about the constitution?" "What about it?" "Nothing." "Have you seen Búi?" "He needs his medication." "He hasn't been seen lately." "When the Romans attacked Syracuse, Archimedes had calculated the firepower of the catapults by their mass." "They couldn't understand how he hit with every shot, because they couldn't calculate the parabola." "This is excellent, Karl Magnús." "Archimedes had discovered the zero, they just deemed to too dangerous and killed him." "I'll be ready for the Romans when they come." "How do we position ourselves?" "We must have a core, so we'll gather everyone here at the center, and also have men positioned at the windows." "They'll think that we're defenseless over here but that is wrong, because they're forced to come down this bottleneck here, and we'll be waiting for them with twice the manpower and our... secret weapon." "Secret weapon?" "I'm still building it, but I have reliable sources that say that it will work." "Very good." "We must begin at once." "RUBBING ALCOHOL" "We don't need to put up with everything we're told." "I mean, we're on the Welfare Committee." "Aren't we going too far?" "Yes." "It's like something is on top of his head." "Margeir." "It's like something has built a nest up there." "Are you sure?" "That's terrible." "What are you talking about?" "Nothing." "Finish what you're doing." "Don't stress yourself." "We must find Lúðvíík." "He just ran..." "Don't worry." "I have another man." "A new one." "But after having gone through all this, I feel..." "Right." "Álfheiður has been driving me crazy." "She doesn't listen to anything I say." "And her father..." "It's because of him that I'm here." "Him who?" "I hate this place." "Stop!" "Where's Lúðvíík?" "Lúðvíík!" "I have your daughter here, she's anxious to see you!" "Don't listen to him!" "There's nothing to fear!" "We just want to chat with you." "It's best for everyone if you just come on out." "Someone's coming!" "Prepare yourselves." "This is not a drill." "I repeat, not a drill." "Get her inside." "Why have they boarded up all the windows?" "I don't know." "I'll check it out." "The asylum's been taken over, I'm a prisoner here!" "You must help us!" "Good day." "Stay out of sight, but act normally if you're seen." "There's something funny about all of this." "Are we in the right place?" "Hello there." "Are you returning Ástrún to us?" "I was starting to think that there was nobody here." "Sorry about that, but we're terribly understaffed here." "I'm Torfi Ezekíel." "What is going on here?" "Are you fixing the windows?" "We're just reorganizing." "Do I have to sign anything?" "I need to get her inside so that I can treat her properly." "No, you don't need to sign anything." "Got a cigarette?" "What?" "What's going on?" "What is this madness?" "!" "?" "Battle stations, everyone!" "Let me go!" "Hello?" "Is anybody there?" "This is not a drill!" "Not in a box..." "Not with a fox..." "Where's everybody going?" "I'm so tired..." "I don't think I belong here." "I'm not supposed to be here." "Something's happened..." "Is there anyone that I can talk to?" "Can someone help me, I can't feel my feet!" "Help!" "Somebody help me!" "Walk gracefully and never stray from the path, otherwise you'll never find your way back home." "You're alone, little girl." "What will you do then?" "You help yourself." "We'll stand together!" "All as one!" "Not in a house, not with a mouse." "She lived in a little house by the edge of the forest." "We've had enough." "This has gone too far." "I agree." "You said it." "What will we do?" "What's going on here?" "Nothing." "It's been "nothing" with you all day." "What's going on?" "Out with it." "We don't want no trouble." "We're just... worried." "We are the Welfare Committee, after all." "Margeir may be leading us down a dangerous path." "Oh?" "Was that what you were talking about?" "I thought you meant something else entirely." "Stop." "You think so?" "Enter." "These servants wish to express their concerns." "Concerns?" "I just wanted to say we may be in a spot of trouble here." "Now that we have more people locked up than..." "Quiet." "We're slightly worried about what will happen next." "How unfortunate." "Huh?" "Unfortunate that you read the situation so wrongly." "Goodness me, it's all just a horrible misunderstanding." "I need to wrap something up here, but after that we'll have a meeting about this and solve it together." "How does that sound to you?" "Just... fine." "Good." "You know what to do." "When I am talking, you are to stay quiet." "CHICKEN X" "They're coming." "I can't no no no no..." "Go away!" "Stop that!" "What is going on?" "All we know is from this woman that we were to bring here." "We thought she was a patient, but that's not the case." "And?" "She claims she works here and that about 30 patients are holding the staff hostage." "The ringleader is a man called Einar." "Do you know anything about him?" "Only what she's told me." "She doesn't know if they're armed." "It's just a pack of lunatics, they came and captured Pétur." "Sounds all like some novel." "Shouldn't we just call in the SWAT team?" "We'll see about that." "Hello?" "Anybody in there?" "Maybe you don't understand that it's a serious offense to hold a police officer captive against his will." "I need to speak with Einar." "Is he there?" "If we're to resolve this, you must speak face to face!" "Are there any phone lines in there?" "Not a word." "Reorganization in progress." "Please come back later." "Thank you, and have a good weekend...?" "What the hell is this?" "We must get further inside." "I mean it, people are killed for the truth..." "Hush!" "Where's the bathroom?" "Quiet!" "What is he blathering?" "He wasn't to say a word!" "Just deliver the letter!" "You think he's squealing?" "He's a liar, don't believe a word of it!" "Who?" "Is this Einar?" "What do you want?" "We were wondering the same thing." "Einar, we can't do much for you when you have hostages!" "We must be able to reach an agreement here." "They want someone in exchange for Julius." "We must find out what he's told them." "Hello?" "I offer you one hostage in exchange for Julius." "Who's Julius?" "The messenger!" "Get me a traitor." "BIRDS COMMUNICATE WHEN THEY ARE SQUAWKING" "I have the chicken, you see?" "I'm here to get Julius." "Are you Einar?" "Huh?" "I'm only here for Julius." "When you send someone out." "Get Julius first." "No no!" "Seal this exit!" "You heard what he said, seal the bridge!" "Did you think I wasn't watching you?" "You're like a gossiping old spinster!" "You don't even show any remorse!" "Then you will face the consequences of your actions!" "I wash my hands clean of you!" "MYSTERY AS HOUSE BURNS DOWN" "TRAGEDY AT MIÐKOT" "YOUNG BOY SENT INTO PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION" "PEOPLE OF JÖKULDALUR MOURN FOR FIRE VICTIMS" "Any betrayal to the cause will not be tolerated." "All traitors will be punished!" "No one is exempt!" "Do you have anything to say in your defence?" "Any last words?" "Despite all our work and good times together..." "You will have to take that up with your own conscience!" "Stop!" "Did you say something?" "Very well."
