if Kasper and Liv aren't here,
where are they?
Where could she be?
[Møller grunts]
I have no idea.
[Charlotte] We're on an island.
How many places can they be?
They might be at the house. We have to go.
We're not going anywhere
until morning. Nowhere.
Why not?
What the hell could be so dangerous, huh?
What?
We have to find Kasper now.
As long as he can keep up with Liv,
he'll be fine. She knows what to do.
[Mads scoffs]
She is prepared.
[Møller breathing heavily]
- [Mads] Seriously, what is going on?
- [Karen sighs]
[suspenseful music playing]
What happened to you?
- What were you doing out there?
- Karen. Karen!
I said to stay away from there.
But you won't listen.
- Do you have any idea what you've done?
- [Møller] Karen.
We need the fence on.
Without power they'll get out.
- [Karen sighs]
- Karen?
How can we help you?
What can we do?
You two take the generator in the morning.
Get that fence up.
And we We'll find Liv and Kasper.
Karen, uh, when they get out,
what do you do?
It's never happened before.

- [engine halts]
- What's up?
- Shh.
- [whispering] Liv, what's going on?
- Shh!
Quiet!
[elves grumbling]
They hear us.
[engine rumbling]
- They're attracted to the engine.
- What are you doing?
- Where are you going?
- They're following us. Come on!
[elves grumbling]
- [elves growling]
- [ominous music builds to climax]
I wanted to rescue it.
Hmm?
I didn't want it to be fenced in.
It should be free.
I know, bunny.
I know.
[emotional music playing]
Try to get a little sleep, okay?
[Liv] We're too loud.
- What?
- We'll wait here until morning.
[Kasper] No.
- We have to get out of here.
- Not until daylight.
We don't stand a chance in the dark.
My grandma knows what she's doing.
We have to do what she says.
We'll be alright.
[exhales, inhales sharply]
It was the elves.
They killed your parents.
Didn't they?
So why did you stay?
Why did any of you stay?
It's always been like this.
And then what?
- Are you gonna stay and take over?
- Yeah.
It's how it is.
Do you want that?
To stay the rest of your life?
Come.
Come close. We have to stay warm.
It'll get cold tonight.
[foreboding music playing]
- [radio interference buzzing]
- [Mads] I have this one.
Keep it on channel seven, okay?
- And turn it on the other one..
- Yeah.
[Møller] Yes.
Put the box down there.
[Møller] Move.
- [glass clinking]
- [Charlotte] I love you.
There, there.
Don't worry, honey. I'll see you soon.
- Okay?
- Come on.
Let's find your brother.
Go with your mom.
Come.
[Jose] Møller.
I'm sorry about
what happened to your friend.
[Charlotte] Bunny.
[engine turns over]
Come here, bunny.
Hey, isn't your grandma's farm that way?
Yes, but we have to warn the people
that live near the fence.
No, we need to go get help.
- The police, military, anyone
- No, we'll handle it ourselves.
Handle it?
But didn't they just kill a man?
It was an accident.
- Yeah, but that
- You don't live here.
[ominous music playing]
You don't understand.
Then explain it.
Liv.
The island is theirs.
They've always been here.
Before us anyway.
And there are
a lot.
More than us.
So it's sacred here, Kasper.
That's why we have to protect it.
The responsibility is ours.
Come on.
[Møller grunting]
Is this going to work, Møller?
[Møller]
Electricity's the only thing that does.
If they get out, they'll clear the island.
[grunts]
[Mads]
What do you mean "clear the island"?
Of what?
Of us.
All of us.
Wait here.
[Jose] Kasper!
Kasper!
[Charlotte] Kasper!
Liv!
What do we do?
[birds squawking]
[Karen] They're here.
We have to hide.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Charlotte on radio] Mads, it's me.
Are you there?
Mads?
Hello? Charlotte?
Charlotte, I'm here.
- Mads.
- Are you alright?
- [door rumbles]
- We're hiding in the barn.
Kasper's not around.
- But the creatures are.
- Charlotte?
- We need to get help.
- Take it easy, honey. We'll hurry up.
Just stay where you are.
Yes. And hurry. Hurry!
- Charlotte?
- Too loud.
[Jose breathing heavily]
[sobbing]
- [Charlotte] Jose, what's wrong, honey?
- Sorry.
- Sorry for what?
- It's my fault.
- I should never have taken it.
- Don't say that. It's not your fault.
Okay? You haven't done anything wrong.
- No.
- No!
- No, I
- No! You listen here.
Everything that is happening
on this island is not your fault.
It's not your fault.
[Karen] But it is.
[Jose exhales]
It is your fault.
You took a youngling
and you wouldn't return it.
We tried to take care of it,
and you just ran back there.
- Don't listen to her.
- People have died because of you.
Hey!
[clattering]

Let's just keep moving.

What's wrong with you?
We have to tell them.
[ominous music playing]
[erratic breathing]
[ominous music building]
Liv.
Liv.
Liv.
Please. I need you. Okay?
Liv, look at me.
What do we do?
[erratic breathing]
My grandma has a radio
in her office for emergencies.
- Okay.
- We can contact the mainland from there.
- Okay.
- We have to go get some help.
[Kasper] Yes.
[ominous music builds to climax]
[door screeching]
[clattering]
- Are they gone?
- [Karen] I think so.
They're heard animals,
so if one is hurt, all will follow.
[radio buzzes]
[Charlotte] Mads. Are you there?
[faintly] We need help.
- You're the one they're after.
- [Charlotte] Mads, hello?
What happened?
At the saw mill, you went to find
the youngling, and then?
Something happened
that you aren't telling us.
[Charlotte chattering indistinctly]
I didn't
I didn't mean to, but
A big one climbed on top of a saw
I accidentally turned it on.
[Charlotte, faintly]
If you can hear me, answer.
You killed it?
[Jose] Everything is my fault.
- Isn't it?
- [Karen sighs]
Yes, it is.
[breathing heavily]
Mads.
[whispering] Yeah.
But you can fix it.
- Can I?
- Yes.
Come.
[radio buzzing]
Hey, hey, hey. Hold on.
You're not going out there.
They've retreated for now,
but they'll be back.
We're not going anywhere.
We're waiting for help.
No one is coming.
[radio buzzing]
Mads.
We're in the barn. We need help.
[Jose breathing nervously]
But you can help, Josefine.
You're the one we need.
You're brave. You're strong.
The island needs you
- Hey! She's just a child.
- Hey!
You know that I'm not a child.
- Jose.
- I wanna help.
Jose, stop!
- Stop it!
- Jose, you're not going anywhere!
- Let me go.
- Jose, you're not going anywhere!
- Ow!
- Do you understand?
I'm sorry. Sorry.
I'm sorry, bunny. I didn't mean to.
Come.

[sniffs]
Grandma?
Årmandsø to the mainland. Come in.
[ominous music playing]
Who did that?
She did.
Your grandma?
[exhales] Why?
You don't leave Årmandsø.
[Jose] Stop the car! My mom needs to come.
I said, stop!
- Stay quiet!
- Karen, if you don't stop, I'll jump out.
- Cut it out!
- No, stop the car!
- [engine halts]
- Who saved you in the barn?
Her or me?
- You.
- And who do you think can fix this?
Her or me?
You.
You're not a child, Josefine.
I see what you are, who you are!
What you can do. You can do so much.
You're grown up.
And grown-up life has consequences.
For everyone!
You as well.
Are you ready for that?
Are you?
Yes.
Good.
Then I'll fix it.
