A small community of survivors of an apocalypse that has overrun the rest of the world and plunged it into chaos is holed up.
Transcript
00:00Every time this island has a healthy newborn, an elderly person has to die to keep the population
00:05balanced. Because the island only has enough resources for 513 people to survive. Which
00:10means if an old person wants to make room for their newborn grandchild, they have to jump off
00:15a cliff and end their own life. People thought that would keep the island peaceful, but no one
00:20expected this. Only a few minutes after the old man jumped, the doctor suddenly realized in horror
00:25the woman was pregnant with twins. There was another baby still inside her, and that meant the
00:30island now needed one more person to be sacrificed. To keep things fair, the island leader immediately
00:35called the council into a meeting. Some people argued that one extra child wouldn't really
00:39affect anything, but the others strongly disagreed, because the outside world had already been taken
00:44over by a virus, and only Helgoland Island was still a final safe paradise. The iron rule, 513 people
00:50max, could not be changed. If they broke it even once, it would open the door, and things would
00:55spiral out of control forever. So after weighing everything, the leader decided to use a point
01:00system to choose who gets sacrificed. Everyone on the island has their own score. Do good things,
01:05you gain points. Do bad things, you lose points. And whoever ranks dead, last, gets executed in a
01:12brutal way. At that moment, a boy watching TV noticed he was ranked third from the bottom. He froze,
01:18because if he ever became last place, he'd be thrown into an iron cage and drowned alive.
01:23But his friend told him to calm down, because his mom is the island leader. She would definitely help
01:28him raise his score. And sure enough, the next day, the leader came up with a smart plan. She purposely
01:33had the boy in front of everyone give away the apple that was assigned to him, making him look like
01:38he
01:38did a good deed. And because of that, she gave him 10 points, and his rank moved up by 1.
01:43Soon,
01:44the final voting day arrived. The person ranked last was a carpenter. Because he stole from someone
01:49a few days earlier, he ended up getting over 200 death votes. Everyone thought the carpenter was
01:54definitely done for. But then, his wife suddenly stood up and revealed a secret she'd been hiding
01:58for years. She said the leader's son, George, had been abusing his power this whole time. He would use
02:04the fact that his mother is the leader to drag her into a locked room and assault her. And if
02:08she
02:08refused, he'd purposely cut her food rations for the next month. After hearing that, George actually
02:13laughed. And everyone in the room couldn't believe it. I mean, he's the leader's son. He's young.
02:18Why would he go after her? An older woman. But then something shocking happened. More and more women
02:23stood up, one after another, accusing George of constantly harassing and abusing women. Turns out,
02:29George wasn't innocent at all. He was a violent, twisted predator. George panicked immediately and
02:34ran to his mom for help. But with the whole island watching, even the leader couldn't protect him.
02:38In the end, she had no choice but to follow the people's demand and start a vote against her own
02:43son. And sure enough, more than 400 people voted to execute George, which meant George became the
02:49one who had to be eliminated. But as a mother, she couldn't bring herself to watch her son get
02:53executed. So instead, she decided to banish him to the outside world. And since the world outside the
02:58island was crawling with that deadly virus, banishment was basically the same as a death sentence anyway.
03:03After the leader made that decision, no one dared to argue. So George was locked up in a cell.
03:08But later that night, when everyone was asleep, the leader quietly walked into the prison.
