- No rest! No peace!
- Back up!
Disperse! Go home!
There's a curfew in place!
You can't be here! Go home!
We need to put in extra funds
and ask the military for help.
I have always respected you, Saga,
but your proposal basically amounts
to permission to go after civilians.
Why can't we just reinforce the curfew?
Do you really think
they'll care about that?
We need help from the military.
This is still a democracy.
People have the right to protest.
I need this amendment of the law now.
We can't
We must do everything we can
to prevent further transmittal.
- Fascists!
- Back off!
Fascists!
- Hi.
- Colonel. Thank you for coming.
We're still missing
the government's signatures.
- I see.
- Some here have objections on item four.
I understand. You have to be careful
with this sort of thing.
However, the task of the Armed Forces
is and will always be
to protect Sweden and prevent conflicts.
Dialogue and cooperation,
that's how we work.
But people haven't slept in weeks.
Anger, frustration, panic.
What we're facing is unparalleled.
We can no longer rely
on ordinary group dynamics.
And the solution is to turn
Stockholm into a military state?
Armed forces are only allowed
in international conflicts!
We have 800,000 infected.
The chaos out there will escalate.
We have to do something!
Sign it, so that we can move on.
The proposal will provide care
for those infected
and will ensure peace and safety
on our streets.
WAKE
Hi. Sorry you had to wait.
No problem.
We've solved most of the practicalities.
Region Skåne flies up
all the equipment we need.
But we're still discussing the patients.
Elin Karlberg wants to be included.
Her and her wife, Moa, however
They don't meet the criteria.
Moa has almost full circles in both eyes
and Elin is not far behind.
And
We have a limited number of places.
Other patients would have
a higher chance of
Unfortunately,
it's too late for them both.
As I understand it,
you can survive full circles?
Yes, but less than 5% do.
Prime Minister, we have already made
decisions beyond everything you can call
scientific or acceptable
within the field of medicine.
Elin came to us with this project while
the medical community were fumbling.
Why are we even having this discussion?
Elin?
Elin?
I can't do this anymore.
Come here, sweetheart.
Sit down. There.
We have to get you warm.
How's the headache?
- Not good.
- Okay.
God.
What?
Moa? Moa?
Breathe.
Breathe.
You have to breathe, Moa.
You need air.
Moa! Come on!
Moa! Breathe!
Moa!
Moa.
There you go.
There you go.
Yes.
Lie here and rest for a while.
There.
- Did it happen again?
- Yes.
Don't worry.
I'll find some pain relief for you.
The curfew.
I'll be careful.
I promise.
The government has given
the disease-stricken police power
to enlist the help of the Armed Forces
in the fight against Vaka.
Military vehicles can be seen
on the streets of Stockholm.
Checkpoints have been set up
at all major entrances and exits.
The traffic situation is still strained
because people, despite instructions,
are trying to leave the region
of their own initiative.
Infected
The medical form
must be filled out correctly.
We'll send it. Thank you, Beatrice.
- And come as soon as you can.
- Okay. We will. Thank you.
DOES THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE
CRAMPING OR EPILEPSY?
- Hello?
- Hi, Noel.
Hey, it's me. Can you do me a favor?
- What do you need?
- Can you get hold of any antiepileptic?
The medicine storages are empty,
but I'll see what I can do.
- Thank you. Bye.
- Bye.
DOES THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE
CRAMPING OR EPILEPSY?
YES - NO
NO
Hi, I've transferred the money.
I hope to be there before it gets dark.
Is it filled up?
Yes, good.
Kill the fuckers!
Lockdown sucks and everything
that's going on right now is scary.
But at the same time, remember that
it could've been a lot worse.
It's not like we're eating each other.
It's not exactly a zombie apocalypse.
At least not yet.
MOM
Due to system overload, your call
cannot be connected at this time.
Region Stockholm informs us
that the provisional field hospitals
are now up and running
and are ready take on
all infected patients and their relatives.
Where are my keys?
I need my keys.
We're going to the hospital.
- You know we aren't going.
- Where are they?
- You're bleeding. Your nose.
- What?
Give me my keys.
- No. Calm down.
- "Calm down"? Give me my keys!
Give me my phone!
We need to go to the hospital.
They can help us.
Maja isn't sleeping either.
I only care about you.
I want you to get well.
That's all I want. You know that.
- Oh, my God.
- What is it?
"Message to the public."
"All infected must immediately
register with the authorities."
"The Armed Forces will ensure
that it is followed through checks."
Please, can we go now?
You're right.
We have no choice.
- It's time.
- Is it?
We'll go to the hospital.
It's the right thing to do.
For the sake of the children.
But we need to eat something first.
Who knows when we'll have
cooked food again?
I'll throw something together.
Okay.
EXOTIC FRUI
Isak?
Will you eat with us?
APRICO
SMALL AND EVIL
NATURE'S OWN KILLER
There.

Smells good.
I used to eat this
all the time when I was a kid.
Isak?
Isak? There's soup for you.
- Mom! Maja!
- Isak!
No! Don't eat it! Please!
Get rid of it!
- You too, Maja.

We can leave together now.
We are together.
EPILEPSY DEPO
Moa?
We have to leave.
Moa?
Are you ready?
- Moa?
- Calm down.
Good.
It's not like we're in a hurry.
Here.
Hey
You grow in chaos.
You take command.
You're at your forte now.
You'll save everyone.
I don't care about everyone else.
- I just want to save you.
- Yeah, but
It's not just me, Elin.
I want you to know.
I'm so proud of you,
no matter what happens.
My parents live in Uppsala
and I want to go to them.
I'm not going to spend my last days
in a field hospital.
It's not right.
We have to get out of here.
They can't force us
- Get back in the car.
- Get the hell back.
- Get in the car.
- A military state.
- Do as I say.
- Acts of fascism. What are you doing?
Look at me.
No, I'm sorry. Turn around.

Walk straight to the door.
Okay? Go.
No rest! No peace!
No rest! No peace!
demonstration outside the government
is still ongoing, and more upset people
have been gathering in the past few hours.
Police and armed forces are on site
as they urge the public to stay home
and respect the curfew.
We are waiting for
Prime Minister Saga Bergqvist to explain
the government's action plan
in response to the situation in Stockholm.
It's unclear when the speech starts,
but over to our reporter at the scene.
The strict curfews, and above all,
the military's responsibility
to control this
are still considered highly controversial.
Just some of the acute directives
signed by Prime Minister Saga Bergqvist.
The public's distrust and dissatisfaction
with the politics has only grown.
More and more Stockholmers
are now ignoring the restrictions
and instead participate
in protests in the streets.
Come on, let's go.
Due to system overload, your call
cannot be connected at this time.
- Please try
- Damn it.
Due to system overload, your call
cannot be connected at this time.
Do you think he will come back?
He doesn't know you're here.
I'm just going to get some stuff,
then we're off, okay?
Are we just going to leave them?
We can't stay here.
Where are we going?
Here.
Take it.
I'll be back soon. I promise.

Fuck.
Our reporters at the scene can now report
that downtown Stockholm is now
to remain indoors and await orders.
Infected or close ones to the infected
should report to the nearest
the government
and Prime Minister Saga Bergqvist.
EU and the US are planning measures.
Meanwhile, violence and looting
in Stockholm continues.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to open this,
but I can't remember the code.
- What's in it?
- My dad's competition rifle. Fuck!
I don't want to shoot him.
Calm down, it's not for him.
Do you remember
the zombie thing I showed you?
When all the people have to leave town?
- Yes.
- We have to leave town.
- Has the shit hit the fan?
- Exactly.
There you are.
Come, ninja. Come.
We're going home.
- Come on.
- Leave him alone.
Mom and Maja are sleeping.

The boat is on the other side
of the city. We'll make a stop downtown.

I'm on my way to the prison in Fola.

We have to leave.

Hey?
I'm Christian. I'm a doctor.
What happened?
I know who you are.
Fuck
No, stay with me. Hey
I'm looking for my son, Hugo Elwing.
Do you know where he is?
He's dead.
I hope he's dead.
Where is Hugo?
Where he is? Answer me!
Where is Hugo?
Tell me where he is!
You're done.
Thank you. Great.
Thank you.
Dear citizens
I want to remind you today of
our Swedish solidarity and community.
When we face challenges,
we help each other and cooperate.
I understand if the restrictions
inflicted can seem exaggerated.
But I want to remind you Follow them.
And I want to ask you not to give up.
Don't stop caring.
Instead, trust science,
our society and the government.
No one will be allowed to leave Stockholm
without permission in the near future.
We all have to do what it takes.
What's good and what's right.
Thank you for your trust.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Together, we're strong.
