"It's called the Hydra polyp." "It's less than half an inch across." "Kind of like a miniature jellyfish." "It's quite a common freshwater creature, but one feature makes it unique:" "it has no ageing process." "It doesn't grow old and die." "It recreates itself." "And if you cut it into pieces, each piece can form a new specimen." "It regenerates." "In many ways, it's immortal." "Its secret is a gene called FoxO." "It governs the production of stem cells in the organism." "We humans have it as well, but it's less active in us." "What do you think?" "Am I onto something here?" "The mites are pests." "Fair enough." "What's worse is they bring viral infections." "You really don't want that in your hives." "It means deformed wings, brain damage and loss of navigational ability." "Suddenly, your bees might be gone." "They can't find their way home." " Are you paying attention?" " Yes." "According to experts, if they disappear, we're dead in 4 years." "A third of our food supply goes." "All the fruit." "All the flowers." "Many vegetables." "Food for humans and animals alike." "Shit..." "Pollination." "It's the most important job there is." "Open wide." "Say "ah"." " How serious is it?" " Not at all." "Probably just the flu." " The flu?" " It will pass." "Is there no remedy?" "Antibiotics?" "It's a virus." "Antibiotics won't help." "Take it like a man, Carl." "The best advice I can give you is to stay in bed and stay hydrated." " It's 40,000, right?" " Settle your bill with Leif." "Here, you can just..." "Put it on the desk." "Paracetamol, right?" "Great stuff." " I've prepared Vilma's cure." " Already?" " I have great faith in it." " How certain are you about this?" "I've isolated stem cells from Vilma." "They responded positively to the characteristics of the polyp." "If growth hormones can stimulate them..." " A chain reaction?" " Then there's hope, at least, for sustained cell regeneration in her nervous system." "Sounds like the recipe for eternal life." " You don't believe in this?" " I believe in Vilma." "Not many people deserve eternal life." "There." "Now all we can do is wait." "Hi, there you are." "Good to see you again." "What did you want to see me about?" "I know you're hiding Teodor Naustvik." "I know." "We can work this out together." "As friends." "I'll keep you and your stuff out of it." "But you have to help me." "Give up Naustvik." "That's your only way out." "Take it, otherwise we'll search every square inch of those rooms of yours." "I don't think you want us to do that." "I've told you lots of things." "They're leaving no stone unturned, because somebody must have leaked." "I had to have something on you." " You can see that, can't you?" " Have you...?" "Not to anyone." "This stays between us." "Listen." "I want us to work this out, as friends." "Have you lost it completely, Leif?" " This time you messed up badly." " Not if we work this out." "This is one bloody serious misjudgement." "Please, let's talk about it." "Come on." "Homies searching for the deeper meaning." "Primping for a night out, working out in style." "Trying to work out your future, honey?" "Get a doctorate." "PhDs make more money." "But what do you do when society crumbles?" "Give your third villa a fifth coat of paint?" "Shit..." "You're on your own, sole provider for a family of four, a dog and a car." "What do you do?" "Lay down and die?" "Teo!" " Hi..." "Didn't see you there." " Hi." "Could you hand me that?" "Sure." " Here you go." " Thanks." " Nice moves." " What?" "They are, actually." "Watching politics falter and the great become small..." "Hi." "Any news?" "No, not yet." "So when will it happen?" "I honestly don't know." " What's going to happen?" " Teo..." "I don't know." "See you later." " Hello." " Hi." "Come on in." "Do you smoke?" "Sometimes." " Do I smell?" " A little." "Hey, I don't care." "I'm just surprised." "I think I'll have one of these." "So you don't care whether I smoke or not?" "No." " Wrong answer?" " No..." "Except I'd like my girlfriend to care about my habits, good or bad." "All right..." "Let's have another go." "Good morning." "Hi." " You're up early." " I went to the hospital." "Leopold wasn't there." "You said he would be." " I guess I did." " I talked to Grete as well." "She asked if I could feel my grief and let go of it." "Here." "And here." " Ravn!" " I'm sorry, Siv, I just..." " I really wanted to help you." " Help me?" "Help you move on." "So you just copied her, not meaning a word of it?" "No, it was..." "what you needed to hear." "Do you know what I need?" "I need to know the truth." "And what's really going on." "Nothing's going on." " Carl, how do you feel?" " My stomach hurts." "Has anything in particular happened?" "Been out in the cold?" "Worked out?" "Been abroad recently?" "We can't really help you unless you trust us." "Just give me something for the pain." "Let me feel your abdomen." "Help me sit him up." "Carl, if it really hurts that badly..." " Oh, bloody hell." " My god, what is this?" "Carl!" "Carl!" "What's..." " Can you hear me?" " What do we give him?" " We don't know what's wrong." " I'll set up an IV drip." "He's dead." "Dead?" "He can't just die." " Unn, are you feeling OK?" " Yes." " Leif?" " Define "OK"." " Did you touch him when he came in?" " I don't touch sick people." " God knows how many he's infected." " Vilma..." "Or how many he's been in contact with." " Leif, get Teo." "Right away!" " Yes, of course." "No..." "No, Vilma..." " Hemorrhagic fever?" " Probably some very potent virus." " What are the symptoms?" " Rash and a high fever." "If that virus can kill a healthy, grown man..." "Has your wife been infected?" "Has she got it?" "I just don't understand how." "That means it's everywhere in here." "Everywhere!" " It must have been one of us." " But we clean our hands meticulously." "We need hazmat suits." "If it's airborne, we're already in trouble." "But it's probably droplets." "Hygiene and protection will help." "Leif!" "Leif?" "You've made it through some crazy stuff so far, Vilma." "You're not giving in to a stupid little virus, are you?" "Ravn?" "Can I help in any way?" "Just leave him here until we know more." "Put on a suit if you're staying." "In there." "Shit..." "Dirty zone." "I just have to clean my hands, so I don't..." "Yes." "So I don't contaminate the area in there." "Like you showed me, the first time I looked after Vilma..." "A thorough, long wash." "And rinse it off." "Then dry..." "Teo?" "When he was here yesterday you cleaned the clinic afterwards, right?" "Then you brought me a bag for Vilma's IV line." "Didn't you clean your hands first?" " I'm sorry..." " Do you realise what you've done?" " I tried..." " Get out!" " I don't want to see you right now!" " I'm sorry..." "Out!" "I'M THE WORLD'S BIGGEST IDIOT!" "WHAT HAPPENED?" "ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?" "I'M OK AS LONG AS YOU ARE." "I'LL WAIT FOR YOU, EVEN IF YOU ARE AN IDIOT." "Hello..." "HOMESTEAD" "ARE YOU SERIOUS?" "THIS IS NOT A DRILL." "I'M READY" "THIS IS HAPPENING NOW." "WHERE/WHEN?" "MEET IN 2 HOURS." " I think you know where he is." " I don't." "I've told you." "Let's see... "You're gorgeous."" ""Miss your sexy body."" ""Send me a topless pic as well."" "Bloody hell..." "Oh, there we go." "You're out of order." "This is harassment." "Let me talk to someone else." "Your boss!" "MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY!" "Wait here." "Damn it." "MISS YOU TOO, TEO." "I HAVE TO SEE YOU!" "I KNOW, BUT IT'S TOO RISKY." "I'M SCARED." "I THINK SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH THE BABY." "GO TO A DOCTOR!" "NO, I ONLY TRUST YOU." "IT HURTS, TEO!" "DON'T WORRY." "I'LL TEXT YOU THE TIME AND PLACE." "There's loads of firewood at the cabin." "Buy diesel for the generator on your way there." "Dry foods for 2 or 3 months ought to be enough." " We haven't got that." " Just ration what you've got, and I'll bring more." " Tell me you're kidding, Leif." " I'm not." "Is Dad's old hunting rifle up there?" "Get it working." "You'll meet people who are less prepared." "Know what I mean?" " Running from the pandemic in town?" " That's right." "I'm worried it may have spread to Anna's nursery school." "One kid was away sick yesterday, and today as well..." "The chances of her having caught it are really small." "Try to avoid infection." "Got sanitising gel?" " Lots of it." " Keep packing, then." "Leif, Ida, wait." "Please stop for a minute." "Why are you the only one who knows about this?" "Well... it's because..." "I was at the wrong place at the wrong time." "I can't find anything about this anywhere." "I'm offering you a head start." "You have no idea what's happened." "Leif, I think you'd better leave." "You've lost it, Leif." "You've gone totally insane." "That's your problem, but don't come here and scare my family." " I'm not scaring..." " Yes, you are." "What, then?" "You're my brother." " Should I just not tell you?" " That's right." "Now leave." " Are you absolutely sure about this?" " Yes, I am." "Leif, will you please leave?" "Please, I can't take this any more!" "Just make sure to..." "No, I know." "You'll handle it." "Take a look at this, Ravn." "Carl's immune system just gave up." "Vilma's blood sample looks totally different." "Vilma's fighting it." "Her antibody count is off the scales." "Could it be the cure we tried?" "Is it helping her immune system?" "Maybe." "I've never seen anything like this." "It's highly potent." " Hi, this is Unn." " Unn Vikebø?" "I'm from the Infectious Diseases Ward." "We have a patient..." " Tyf0n?" " Yes." " And you are?" " Kastriot." "Løkkagutt786." "Hi." "Heimdal!" "It's OK, he's legit." "I'm glad you came." "Welcome, I suppose." "What's the situation?" "A pandemic." " What's a pandemic?" " A very serious illness." " What kind of pandemic?" " I'll tell you all I know." "If this breaks out, it'll be the worst disaster in Norway since the plague." "It's bad." " What's wrong with him?" " A virus we haven't seen here before." "A form of hemorrhagic fever." "We'll have to isolate you as well, and do some blood work." " Pass this around." " How long before we hear anything?" " There will be sirens, I suppose?" " An air raid siren?" "I hope others here brought guns as well?" "People will be coming up here in droves." "I'm more worried about the cold." "I know, this isn't an ideal solution." " Meaning?" " I've been working on this project." "If things don't get too bad this time, I'll keep working on it." "I haven't shared it on the forum yet." "A permanent indoor shelter solution." "I've got access to buildings that can withstand pretty much anything." "I think, if you're interested, I can tailor individual units able to withstand any threat we can think of." " That's so cool." " Thank you." "Mum?" "That bag of nuts that was passed around." " It never came here." " Where is it now?" "It's for everyone." "Just pass it along." " It went that way." " I haven't seen it." "If you voluntarily pass nuts around, expect someone to grab the opportunity." " Opportunity?" " For some food." " But he said "pass it around"." " Taking advantage is understandable." "Why can't you just pass it along?" "Is that so hard?" " Now you all assume I've got it." " Certainly seems that way." "Isn't this about survival?" "That's what we're trying to achieve, right?" "Let's talk a little about this now." "We're all here to survive." "We have formed a group because experience and science say it improves our chances." "You could say that we are limbs from the same body." "We have different functions but we share one blood flow." "Oh, Kumbaya..." "It's easy." "Can you build, maintain and camouflage a camp, gather firewood, cook and keep watch on your own?" "If I have to." "There's plenty of room elsewhere, then." " You're so bloody selfish." " So it was you." "Hogging food in front of hungry kids..." "We solved it, though!" "This is going well." "We managed to resolve our first dispute." "We sorted it out by talking things through." "Your blood tests came back from the lab." "They are all clear." "You've been extremely lucky." "Thank you." "I have an important question." "Any idea where he might have caught this?" "No." "It's important you write down everything you know about where he's been and who he's seen in the last 24 hours." "We have to find out where this came from." "Hi, this is Ravn Eikanger." "I can't come to the phone..." "Ravn!" "Oh god..." "I need you to stay calm now." "I'll keep my suit on, but I need to work." "We have to work efficiently." "We'll have to move Vilma down here, into the clinic." "You can't look after both of us unless we're in the same place." "And I don't know how much longer I can be of any help." "All right, Vilma." "Everything is under control." "I'M NEARLY THERE." "COMING?" "ON MY WAY." "MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT SEEN." "I'M HERE." "WAITING FOR YOU, SWEETIE." ""SWEETIE"?" "HEY, SWEETIE, LET'S NAME OUR DAUGHTER AGNES!" "AGNES IS GREAT!" "COME AND TALK TO ME." "Fuck it!" "Bloody..." "I'll need one of your rats." "What for?" "I'll use its spleen to filter Vilma's antibodies." "If I can replicate them, maybe I can produce a serum." " That won't help her." " No, but it might help you." " Don't prioritise me over her." " Don't tell me who to prioritise!" "If you die, Ravn..." "Who's going to save Vilma?" "Did you think of that?" " No, nothing at all." " How about Twitter?" " Have a look at Reddit." " No, there's absolutely nothing." "That's actually a good thing." "When this escalates, there'll be a stampede of people coming." "We'll have a huge advantage with a head start of a day or two." "It should be out by now." "If it's real, that is." "I know what I saw." "And I told you, plain and simple." "No doubt about it." " Typical." "The boy who cried wolf..." " What?" " You cried wolf." " I haven't!" "I saw the wolf." "The wolf is real." "If there is a pandemic, it should have been mentioned online by now." " Not everything turns up on Facebook." " Yes, actually, it does." "I think screen addiction is threatening our group dynamics here." "With all due respect, I'm your best source of information right now." " We're just trying to stay updated." " Yes..." "So nothing's true until it's being tweeted about?" "Hey, Tyf0n..." "Not feeling well?" " You just coughed." " I was clearing my throat." "That was a cough." "Didn't you just say it starts with general flu symptoms?" "Yes." "I'm not infected!" "I wouldn't do this..." "You know what?" "I think you'd better pack up your tent and move away a little." " That's the stupidest..." " This is simple." "Let's vote on it." "Those in favour of you moving away, raise a hand." "OK, Vilma." "Time to give your husband a hand here." "OK, here we go." "Lab testing is overrated, don't you agree?" "Vilma..." "No..." "Come on, Vilma!" "Come on, damn it!" "Elisabeth is here, William is here, we are happy that Ørjan is here." "Our teeny, tiny gang is back together again..." " What's your name?" " Leif." "Come on, let's go." "Leif is here, Leif is here, we are happy that Leif is here..." "Yes..." "See you around." "The boy who cried wolf..." " Ravn?" "Is that you?" " Yes, I'm feeling better." " Where are you?" " At the hospital." "Vilma is stable as long as she's on the respirator." "That means it works." "I have to go." "I'll give you 5 minutes." "Two things: do not touch him." "And don't mention this to anyone." "Thank you." "Get going, before this shift ends." "Knut?" "Hi..." "There you are." "Let's not waste any more time." " What are you thinking about?" " I want you." "Let's live together." "Commitment." "Everyday life." "The works." "You're on some strong drugs." "Don't say things you don't mean." "I know what I'm saying." "Do you want it as well?" "Yes." "Ravn?" "Ravn..." "Leif?" "BIOHAZARDOUS WASTE" "All right..." "You OK?" "I sent him home with paracetamol." ""Stay in bed." "Get well soon."" "It can't be the first patient you've lost?" "No, but it's the first one I'm cremating myself." "He would have died, even in a hospital." "It's not the same." "We've got no control over what we're doing down there." "I'm just playing doctor and scientist." " No, you actually are one." " I got myself infected, Leif." "But you survived." "And you didn't freak out." "I did." "I thought, this is it." "It feels good." "This is when we come together." "People are going to wake up." "Except they're not." "I've been running ever since I first came into that dungeon of yours." "I'm in denial, running flat out to reach something that will never happen." "Your wife is alive because of you," " and you alone." " Not really." "She is." "A machine keeps her heart beating." "That's exactly what she didn't want." "Then maybe it's time, Ravn?" "My dear Ravn, if you are reading this, it didn't work the way we hoped." "I can no longer take care of myself." "Remember that this was my own choice." "But don't be afraid." "We'll meet again someday." "I love you." "You know what you have to do."
