03:03Very good
03:04You gentlemen are about to undergo an experiment that would benefit the soldiers of the Soviet Union
03:11You will be given a gas that our nation's leading scientists have been working on
03:16All we know is that it is not lethal and you will be in no physical harm throughout the duration
03:23of the experiment
03:26Upon completion of this experiment, you will be granted your freedom and returned to your homeland
03:32Do you comply?
03:36Reminder, those who do not comply will be immediately executed for your crimes against humanity and the Soviet Union
03:47I'll ask you once more gentlemen, do you comply?
03:52Very good

03:58Please, get acquainted with your new home

04:18You will find comfort in the floor as you had in your cell
04:23Books for entertainment
04:24A toilet for the obvious
04:28Also, no one will be entering the room once the gas has been released

07:40your turn I was stationed just outside of Berlin I didn't see much of the war just the end of
07:53it
07:55I was appointed guard duty one night and I was supposed to stay awake for the duration of the night

08:07I fell asleep when I woke everyone was slaughtered and I ran as fast and as far as I could
08:31but
08:35they caught me took me to a prison for asset for three months until I ended up here I saw
08:48it as much

09:18and although none of the men
09:19have slept for the past four days

11:19you
11:20you
11:31Hey. What happened the other day?
11:34I almost killed Felix. What happened with you?
11:40You know what I mean. No one intervened. No one stopped you. You just...
11:49You just looked at Seval and dropped him. What did you see?
12:04Look. At least tell me your story. Everyone's got a story.
12:25I was a soldier. And, like you, not a very good one. I wasn't cool in what I did, but...
12:41What I stood for was damning enough, I suppose. What we all stood for was damning enough.
12:53I was stationed at a camp, a labor camp. My father was the commanding officer of the camp. He was
13:03a good man, as I remember from my childhood, but something changed in him.
13:16I went to his office one day to deliver a daily report. I opened the door and Jetty's back turned
13:28to me. I called to him, but he didn't answer.
13:38He just put the barrel above his luger. And he...
13:54If there was one thing I could have asked him, it would be why.
14:02Was it fear? Was it remorse? Was it grief?
14:17That's why I tried.
14:18Oh, Rick. I don't know how much more of this I can take. I haven't slept in days.
14:32None of us have. It must be what the gas does. It keeps you awake. They're going to use it
14:42on their soldiers so they don't require sleep.
14:49I can't do this anymore. I can't breathe in my own skin. I... I have to get out of here.
15:00Just think of your freedom. That's what's keeping me going.
15:08You really think we'll be gifted freedom after this?
15:14I can't do this.
15:30Day 12. Hans has been screaming for the past seven hours.
15:37What seems strange is that the other men have not reacted in any way.
15:46Hans has been screaming now for the past 12 hours.
15:51His screams have been replaced with a faint whimper.
15:54It seems he has permanently destroyed his vocal cords.
15:59Sleep experiment. Day 12. June 14, 1945. End log.
16:19Ah, Felix. I've come to say hello.
16:25Felix, Felix, Felix, Felix.
16:43What are you thinking, Felix?
16:50That's why you're in there.
16:52That's why you're in there.
16:53And I'm not here.
16:59Felix.
17:14Felix.
17:15Felix, Felix, Felix.
17:30Oh, sleep experiment day 15.
17:39Day 15.
17:41efforts on Fighters.
17:49Sleep experiment.
17:55Yeah.
17:57Ah.
18:00Ah.
18:01Ah, yeah.
18:09Oh, all right.
18:10I MEAN.
18:11In day 50.
18:41In day 50.
19:11Felix!
19:12I demand the papers removed from the window!
19:18Felix!
19:20Remove the paper!
19:22Felix!
19:26Day 15.
19:28Felix has covered the port window with paper from the book.
19:33In what appears to be his own excrement.
19:37Strange noises have been coming from inside the cell.
19:40But the oxygen levels show that the men are still awake and alive.
19:46I'm not sure how much longer the experiment can go on.
19:51Experiment day 15.
19:52June 17th, 1945.
20:01Gentlemen, the experiment is over.
20:05We are turning off the gas and opening the chamber.
20:09Stand back against the wall or you will be shot.
20:13Upon examination, you will be freed.
20:16We no longer wish to be freed.
20:46Day 20 on the sleep experiment.
20:52Upon opening the chamber it became clear the level of mental damage caused by the gas.
20:58The men have ripped into their own flesh.
21:03The mother blood loss by the three men should have killed them all.
21:11Lanzos rushed to the emergency room.
21:14He tried the other words but his tone vocal cords allowed only a weak whisper.
21:21After fighting to stay awake under the anesthesia he died on the operating table.
21:2711.45 pm.
21:31Felix was sent to the emergency room.
21:33He begged to be put back on the gas and screamed in agonizing pain when we brought anesthesia anywhere near
21:41him.
21:43We then attended the surgery without it.
21:47He died the second his eyes closed from fatigue.
21:5012.14 am.
21:55I left Auric in the chamber to be alone with me.
21:59I needed answers.
22:05Auric.
22:09What happened?
22:11What did you do?
22:21Hell could not wait for these men.
22:25The doctor sicker than his patients.
22:29The boy allowing his own kind to perish on account of his own negligence.
22:34The man who blindly follows evil for the sake of convenience.
22:44Without the fortitude of unconsciousness all men will share this fate.
22:53What are you?
23:04I'm awake.
23:09I'm awake.
23:20I'm awake.
23:22I'm asleep.
23:30I'm awake.
23:32I'm awake.
23:35I'm asleep.
23:37I'm asleep.
23:39You're asleep.
23:40I'm asleep because of hiskyi bed Taliban begins myyanbs.
23:54Whether or not you believe these men deserve this fate is irrelevant.
24:03No man can decide this. I only hope the world will forgive my part in this experiment.
24:16What these men did will be forever written in history. But I can still erase what I've done.
24:25End log June 22nd 1945
25:24Numbers 2
