Ever After (Endzeit)

A plague has descended upon Earth.

In only two cities have people survived.

In Weimar, they kill the infected immediately.

In Jena, they are looking for a cure.

Nobody is allowed to leave the cities.

PLEASE DO NOT HOARD WE HAVE ENOUGH WATER AGAIN

REGISTER FOR WORK AT THE PROTECTIVE FENCE

A brook a-burbling in my ears. There is no room for you.

The grass a-growing in my eyes. There is no room for you.

A woodpecker's nest within my heart. There is no room for you.

I am a rock. I have seen life and death.

Know, you evil spirits, I don't sleep.

I am a rock, a rock.

Know, you evil spirits, I don't sleep.

No, I don't sleep.

Aren't they thriving inside just as beautifully as outside?

They keep asking for people to help at the fence.

EVER AFTER

Look what I found.

Try it. It might take your mind off things.

I'm not sure.

We could use a little colour in here.

Renata!

Renata! Get out! Come here now!

Renata.

Renata, where are you?

Are you here?

You are an angel.

Why are you still here?

You must leave!

SECURE WARD

I'm not crazy. I heard you.

Let's go, everyone!

Isabelle. Hi.

And you are?

Vivi.

Cute!

- I like your hair colour, by the way. - Do your eyes hurt, too?

How long haven't you been out?

Two years. From since it began.

Has it really only been two years?

Seems like half my life.

You wanted to see the thing with the shovel?

Yes.

First, cover the body with a cloth.

You'll manage when the time comes.

The new ones.

Wow.

We're down to the weaklings now.

Any news on my transfer application?

You've got three more hours of your shift. Or can't you cope?

I always cope.

Here.

The train to Jena.

I wonder that it's like there now.

You won't ever take that train.

Supplies only. Any other transport is forbidden.

It would be too creepy anyway. No driver. All automatic.

Who was responsible?

Who let this novice work on the fence?

The arm is off. The infection can't reach her brain.

No exceptions!

Why do you think only two cities survived?

Those are the rules.

Anyone else get hurt?

Renata, come out!

Come here now!

You'll be needed tomorrow.

No exceptions!

Those are the rules.

We don't have any time.

Soon the weeds will grow in our veins.

Go out and bury what haunts you.

I know you're out there.

I'll find you.

I want to leave.

Shut up.

What's going on?

Shit.

Don't you have a weapon?

Very funny.

- I'll take a look outside. - What?

And?

We're really up shit creek.

A broken-down train in the middle of nowhere. And no one knows we're here.

They'll send people. The train is valuable.

It's broken. Has been for a few months.

There were always water tanks in the bathrooms.

You do know the story about the toilet zombie, right?

It's not locked.

Those creatures seldom lock the door, anyway.

Shit.

I couldn't find the keys.

Would you have left without me?

Without you I wouldn't stand a chance out there.

To calm me down.

Why did you want to leave Weimar?

You didn't like it in the loony bin either, did you?

A brook a-burbling in my ears. There is no room for you.

The grass a-growing in my eyes. There is no room for you.

A woodpecker's nest within my heart. There is no room for you.

Know, you evil spirits...

Go away!

What do you see?

I don't know.

You lured them here.

- What will we do now? - That's your problem.

Shit!

It's over.

It was meant to be.

I want to go back.

I never wanted out. There's nothing here. I can't even run fast.

Pull yourself together!

I have to reach Jena.

Take me with you!

Why should I?

For you.

- Don't touch my stuff! - I repaired it.

The shutter wasn't releasing. The contacts tend to get rusty.

How do you know that stuff?

Put some decent shoes on.

No!

You don't need those anymore.

Aren't there tricks to finding water? Like with a divining rod?

What did you do before this whole mess?

I fixed stolen cameras for eBay.

Really?

eBay.

Haven't heard that for a while.

Bad girl.

- What did you do when it all started? - What everyone did.

I saved myself.

Leave it open!

Open up!

And you?

I spent three days on a roof and couldn't move.

I was basically dead.

Then the warden rescued me and lost her two friends in the process.

That was our rescue team.

- They'll get up again in a minute. - They're not getting up.

They shot themselves.

We have to keep going.

- Get up! - Go!

Where are we?

No idea. But Jena can't be far.

This way.

Can't we just go back?

And do you know where that is?

They must have escaped from Erfurt zoo.

Safe travels, my friends.

I'll catch you again someday.

Come on, let's do something cheesy.

Here.

I always wanted to become a photographer.

Before the outbreak, I'd just won a scholarship in the States.

My flight never took off.

My sister is still out there.

Did you love her?

Most of the time, I hated her.

Come on, swim with me.

Let's have a competition. Who can hold their breath the longest.

Okay, I lose.

Renata was always our sunshine.

She had everyone wrapped around her finger.

But at night, she was always scared.

She invented her own gods, gods of the sun, of the mountains

so they would take her fear away.

She would lie in the dark and talk to herself.

And pray.

My family is still out there too. Bashing each other's heads in.

Pretty much what they used to do before.

Screw that.
