Motto: I have planted flowers, but nettles have grown instead.

This gas, most poisonous of all that are known till now

changes have been made here to the fertilizer that greatly increases the richness of soil.

And because that is how the beginning of new life is supported...

we will call this invention "vita - life".

I did not dare interrupt you.

It is truly remarkable what you've created here.

I kiss your hand, dear lady!

At 2 o'clock you will be at Ten Straaten.

Only a small mistake would be enough for the destruction of a whole city.

Almighty ruler of Ten Straaten's group.

The result of your work is imposing.

I shall manage the production to an unprecedented extent.

And if the war breaks out, we shall be dictating!

War?

But I want to create life, not destroy it.

Do you want me to become a murderer?

Here he comes!

We are greeting you in the name of all humankind!

And today all humankind is obliged to you with its thanks!

You've not been afraid to sacrifice anything for your job.

Shut up!

We only wanted to offer the inventor the biggest profit.

I hope there is no need to tell you

what this gas means for us.

Of course, the production is highly dangerous.

In any way we cannot allow

failure of this deal.

Primarily, we need to consolidate our power

Even at the cost of human lives...

You heartless man - to treat the dog like this!

The inventor will be notified to become a business associate.

Therefore the founding of the "Stock company Vita" is approved.

Everything is in vain!

But he will outrage the workmen!

We'll get rid of him easily!

But be sure to avoid anything that could cause an outrage.

You cannot do that!

...That is inhuman!

My husband will never descend to the production of poison gas.

My husband wants only to do good -

and you will destroy all of his life's work!

Dear lady, couldn't we talk about more pleasant matters?

He wanted to help people!

And you, you want to destroy!

Maybe she is right!

The stock has increased by 160. That is real earning!

Paris is announcing higher...!

Great, now we shall finally live!

They don't do it for free...

From this day forward, salaries will rise by 15 %,

Petr Ballgrud is established as the workroom leader in the perfume section.

...and so in section "Perfumery" poison gas is produced.

Do you want to collaborate with us further?

To make gas? I don't want to!

Give your belongings to your successor.

And then leave the laboratory.

Tomorrow you will ride to the factory.

I call for humanity!

Without the necessary security arrangements

the work is very dangerous.

I am sorry!

I am sorry, but I can't!

I can't and - I don't want to!

It means danger for everyone.

I am sorry, I can't!

His Excellency does not accept!

I am sorry... His Excellency, the Minister of War, does not accept.

I am truly sorry.

My husband is dead??

Workroom leader Petr Ballgrud died of a heart attack.

Lies!

Petr told me about his work!

He was poisoned by gas!

You'll end up the same way. You'll all be poisoned!

All will be dead!

Horn is guilty... it is his gas!

Dad! Dad! How much longer are you going to sleep??

Hush, daddy is asleep!

We request safety arrangements.

We expect your decision in two days!

But my husband was dismissed

and now we are without income!

You produce...

They will poison everyone.

I was fired...!!

I will go to the factory... and will tell everyone.

And I wanted to...

And I wanted to make everyone happy!

Petr is dead.

Ten Straaten. Mrs. Ellen Horn in Javorova Street no. 2

If there are no other options,

hire new employees!

I've sent these flowers to you!

And now what?

Daily and again flowers, constantly!

They will soften up the young lady.

Where are the flowers?

What do you plan to do?

I will show you...!

Help!

My husband is planning a disaster!

Alright, we shall go to the factory!

Now I am dictating conditions!

My revenge!

Mothers and innocent children.

Bring your husband!

Terrible, murder gas!

Jan! Jan! Help!

Oh, you, my sweet wife!

Gas - welcome!

I am going with you, my wife!

The dead are alive!

I accuse!

We accuse!

They accuse!

Poison gas!

Humans!

Be human!

Stay human!
