The situation becomes critical and more violence is involved. Berus intercepts Bosch, however, and tells Dora that everything is all right and refuses to let Tarek see Dora. Tarek, who was forced to clean the toilet with his own clothes, pleads to the friendly guard Walther Bosch to secretly bring her a message. She surprises him by showing up for a visit day. Grimm suggests to put an end to the alarming situation, but Professor Thon refuses to stop the experiment until the violence has reached a maximum.ĭora meanwhile returns to Tarek's apartment and discovers his participation contract for the experiment. The scientists engage in a discussion whether or not to abort the experiment. On the prisoners' side, this is Tarek, and on the guards' side, it is the quiet guard Berus, a sadist, whose motto during the experiment is: "Humiliation is the only way we can solve these troubles." From that moment on, the guards start to use more and more violence against the prisoners. On both sides, one person is considered dominant. The guards become excessively aware of their power and use the prisoners' fear to make them obedient. It becomes clear that limits are not only being reached, but being surpassed when the guards kidnap Tarek from his cell late in the night, order him to strip fully naked, shave his head bald and urinate on him. The circumstances seem to be escalating after only a few days. Psychological changes develop and the situation deteriorates. He befriends his cellmates Steinhoff and Schütte. Tarek (prisoner number 77) initially refuses to acknowledge the guards' superiority by drinking the milk of one of his co-prisoners because of that prisoner's lactose intolerance, or by throwing his blanket out of his cell to provoke the guards. Each prisoner's name is taken away and replaced by a number. The guards are given nightsticks, but are told not to use violence in any case. In the experiment, the prisoners lose their civil rights and have to obey arbitrary rules, such as the obligation to completely finish their meals. The 20 volunteers are pronounced guards and prisoners, 12 prisoners and 8 guards, and are being observed by a team of scientists. She spends the night with him and Tarek keeps thinking of her, shown in flashbacks. After a car accident he suffers shortly before the experiment, Tarek meets a woman called Dora.
Tarek participates as a journalist while wearing a pair of glasses with a built-in mini-camera. The experiment is led by Professor Klaus Thon and his assistant, Dr.
