Raise your left arm

Raise your left arm

Okay

Martin, do you know where we are?

Do you know where we are now?

-I understand, it's not working -Water… water…

Knife

Knife

What's your name?

Can you tell me your name?

This here…

Water… water… water

I know

Martin You're Martin Hruby

Martin Can you repeat that?

Martin Your name?

Ma… Mar… Mart…

-Can you write it? -Water Knife

Write… write it Martin…

Calm down, Martin, we'll get through this

Calm down Turn it off

Aphasia is generally very rare But in extreme cases like this one,

he is completely cut off from the world

To give you an idea of what it's like,

everyone who suffers apathetic brain impairment

as a result of injury or a cerebrovascular accident

has experienced something like death

UNSPOKEN

That's fucked up

Forgetting how to speak

Not understanding what anyone says to you

Not knowing at all what's going on

I can't even imagine

A clever and perceptive person

An outstanding specialist

He was the best vet I ever had

He did whatever it took so the animals didn't suffer

Even if a horse was skittish, he found a way to treat him

He was always active and positive

He loved his work, loved the animals

At age five, he went everywhere with me He always wanted to help

At age ten, he helped me deliver a calf Most kids wouldn't be able to handle it

My son was…

You'd have to know him from before

Of course, I understand how it is now

You have lots of work, Erika It's hard

You can't wait forever

But we're not waiting for anything

More salad, Mum?

Happy

What?

Nothing

You said your husband was happy

Before the accident, of course

Two or three days

But it'll be fine

Yeah, yeah… Whoa, whoa

Good, it's there

It's normal

Wanna help?

We need someone with small hands

Whoa, whoa

Don't act like a princess

I can't do it without you, get back here

Every marriage has issues

So I'm sorry, but your ideal world seems odd

-Are you married? -Divorced

I am

You don't have any problems?

We do

I know very well what my mother-in-law told you

How horrible it was at home

But my marriage was completely normal…

and happy

Erika

-Are we ready? -Yeah

Hold on to the saddle One, two, three…

You see?

Good

Don't be afraid You see? That's great

Just like that

I knew you could do it

It happened on August 13, is that right?

I know how difficult it must be for you to remember

Hello?

Speaking

Please, can you tell me where Martin Hruby is?

He's being operated on

You can wait here if you want, but it's going to be a while

Sorry, but I have to go

Mrs Hruba?

Unfortunately, contusions are on both sides of his brain

One from the horse's hoof, the other from the wall of the stall

The damage is great

But he'll survive?

Half his body will likely be paralysed

But it may get better

The temporal lobe suffered great damage

The frontal and posterior lobes were only slightly injured

As a result, his speech centre was seriously damaged

But…

he will talk again?

There is always a chance

But given the nature of the injury, it's not very likely

How did your husband take the prognosis?

How would you feel if everything suddenly stopped making sense?

Not so great

My dear Martin

It's okay

It's going to be okay

It's okay, it's okay

You look terrible Go home and sleep

I'll stay with him tonight

Hello?

Hello, I'm Jana Klimentova

The hospital gave me your number

I'm the owner of the horse that kicked your husband

I see…

I'm sorry to bother you,

but I just wanted to ask how your husband is

I also have the things he left here after the accident,

veterinary equipment and a jacket

He had an operation

The doctors aren't sure of the outcome

Sorry, but I'm going to have to sign some insurance papers

I had to file a claim

-Good morning -Good morning

Good morning, nurse

Sorry, I said I'd be back but I must've fallen asleep

But I told you to get some sleep

Martin and I were just fine here

I'm used to not sleeping

Good morning…

We've got through worse than this, right?

Like what?

-What do you mean? -What's worse than this?

Doesn't this seem bad enough?

You just won't accept that there's no "getting through" this shitty situation

Stop denying how screwed up things are and look at him

He's paralysed and he can't talk He's like a little baby

-Don't talk like that in front of him -Martin?

What's my name?

What's my name? You don't know, do you?

You don't even know what we're saying

Yep, Martin, it's all for shit

Don't you dare treat my son like that

You don't know what he's feeling inside

You know nothing about his suffering

-And what the hell do you know about it? -Plenty

Enough to know what he needs because I'm his mother

Can't you see he's getting better?

Physically, yes

Otherwise he doesn't know what the fuck we're talking about

But his mother didn't think his prognosis was so bleak

She said he made fast progress

She only ever saw what she wanted to

You said yourself things could shift

If there's a change of scene, if he's home

Improvement can advance quickly

But the mental side plays a big role,

and Dr Zvolsky will be seeing to that

There is extensive damage to his speech and to other cognitive functions,

but we can work with it

You must realise that he needs long-term care and rehabilitation

He can't use the toilet or make food by himself

Someone needs to give him his injections and take care of him 24 hours a day

He can come home with me

I have no problem with that

I'll be happy to care for him

Me too, but things need to be ready

Hello

Sorry to disturb you

I'm Jana Klimentova We spoke over the phone

Here are his things

She's the owner of the horse

I'm Martin's mother

I'm terribly sorry

May I say hello to him?

Hi, how are you feeling?

He doesn't understand you

It's okay…

You mentioned insurance papers?

He may be insured as a vet, but as the owner I'm responsible

What's the next step?

I'm taking him home soon

If you need anything, please just let me know

His mother is happy to help me

But I'm sure it won't be easy even with his mother's help

Do you have a pen?

Your husband cared for my animals for over ten years

He saved my horses many times

I'd like to help somehow

My husband was injured once; I know how much the equipment costs

I have a big car,

so just give me a call

-I know all this is so… -Terrible

It's terrible

That's where you saw Mrs Klimentova for the first time?

Yes

You'd never heard of her before that point?

No

Not till she called about my husband's things

How did you judge your husband's transition to being home?

I'm tired

Okay…

We'll finish for today

-Got it? -Lord

Good

I think I can manage from here, thanks

Let me still help you with this

That's good…

-I'm ready, say when -One, two, three…

-Now the bed -Okay

Is that good?

It's pretty comfortable

How about a little something?

Interested?

We had that same bed in the kitchen when my husband was injured

It was the only room with heating

The stables were in ruins when we bought them

We didn't have any more money, so we did the reconstruction ourselves

He fell while fixing the roof

Did he recover?

He broke his pelvis; it was unpleasant but he's okay

-Hello -Hello

-Want something to drink? -Not yet, let him look around

The hospital installed the surveillance system five years ago

Cameras are placed opposite each other to eliminate blind spots

Can someone gain access to a patient without you noticing?

I'm not always watching But doctors can, of course

I remember that doctor being there And also nurses, cleaning women…

And his wife and mother came to see him too

-Here's that list you wanted -Okay

How do you know it was his wife and mother?

The old lady once made a big scene so I asked the girls who she was

It'll be okay

But you have to get back to work, especially if you want to compete

You know I stopped actively competing years ago

My boss will let me work half-time, then I have a few private trainings

And I've already arranged for a nurse

Sure

But you need some time just for yourself

And Martin needs people around him that he knows

So I thought I might sleep in his room

You'll be more comfortable at home

I can call you if need be

I don't feel like trudging across town every day

It won't be every day

Where are we going? The toilet?

To the toilet?

Okay then

Martin

Martin, no

You can't

Your husband allegedly tried to commit suicide on October 3

What do you mean "allegedly"?

Can you confirm it?

You think just like she does

Like who?

His mother

She also didn't believe he'd ever do such a thing

Why didn't she believe you?

Because he behaved so differently around her

Like a good boy with no problems, if you know what I mean

The idea of him ever attempting suicide?

Out of the question

But he did so in your presence?

Several times

-Where are you going with this? -Just asking

Dammit, why should I stand for this?

Answer the question

Why?

What happens if I just stand up and walk out?

You're a suspect in a criminal case, so we can hold you for 48 hours

Even though you haven't been charged yet

I can get the DA to sign off on it within the hour

You don't need anything else?

Vitamins?

Are you eating well?

Do coffee and wine count?

I had an apple

You've eliminated everything else?

Because it shouldn't be combined with this

Don't worry

Now it spilled everywhere, silly

He waited till I took a shower

He wanted to take a whole pack of my sleeping pills

I can't leave him alone for a second during the day

At night, I keep waking up to make sure he hasn't…

I'm having a hard time coping

Luckily, my boss is giving me plenty of time to figure things out

I can only relax when my mother-in-law is here

because she pushed out the nurse She said she didn't trust her

But that's no good because she's always trying to make plans

Worst of all, she's so optimistic, which is even more exhausting

But at least when she's here, Martin won't try anything

He wouldn't do anything like that to her

Maybe I could come over sometime

I could help for a couple hours

Don't be silly, you have enough to do

It's the least I could do

Come on, you have a little boy

He can stay at school a bit longer

Or I could come in the morning

How would you describe his mental state when you started helping Mrs Hruba?

I don't know how to describe it

I had this crazy idea to paint the saddle room orange

But it ended up looking pretty good, like the sun was shining there

Not so interesting, eh?

Hey, I can show you some new pictures

Pictures

That's Berda

Yeah, Berda

-Ber-da -Berda Yes

-Berda -Berda

She looks nice with the sun

Animals or the outdoors…

He likes those things

He remembers them and they calm him down

It's exactly what he needs

More stimulation, new people – he needs to shake off his lethargy

Erika has my number Maybe he could come for a visit

Thank you, that's a great idea

I saw the possibilities and so did Dana, his mum

She was willing to try anything

Excuse me, it's my wife

But the idea was yours

Yeah, mine…

I just wanted to help since it happened at my place

But…

Erika…

It felt to me like she had kind of given up

Or that it was too hard for her

-Hi -Hi

He remembers Martin being different

I would've done the same

I'd probably have cried and run away

Come on, he doesn't understand

You don't know that

Okay, right this way…

This place was a complete ruin

It took four years but we did it ourselves

First we did the stable so we could rent out stalls;

that helped a little

Go over there

I think he…

That's where the horse is that kicked him

At the time, he had a terrible infection in his left front leg

It was just a reflex; he isn't a bad horse

Dana believed it might help

You don't need language to communicate with animals

Honza, it's cold Put on a jacket

Everything okay with the insurance company?

Yeah, it's fine

Thanks

We wondered if what we were doing might actually be hurting him

How did his wife seem to you at the time?

I don't know…

It was hard for her

Be more specific

Well…

I had the feeling that she didn't love him anymore

Sorry, the babysitter fell through and I didn't want to cancel

He'll be good Right, Honza?

Of course

-Hi, Honza -Hi

Remember me?

-Come on in -Thanks

Hi

Uncle is okay, Honza

He doesn't talk much Like I explained, remember?

We're going to spend a little time with him You can sit here

-So, I can leave now? -Sure

-You can play with this for a while -Thanks

It's a real test but it's administered by God

You have to move the balls to get the most points

Let's sprint one more lap

No way

Yes way It's all in your head

I'm not going to eat it, I'm not going to eat it

He played for almost two hours, no problem

I think he might enjoy such things

He obviously understands it

That's fantastic

His cap…

-Next Thursday? -Yes

Thanks a lot, Jana

-Bye -Bye, Honza

The balls?

Okay…

Mummy, someone's calling

Hi

Hi, Jana… Am I disturbing you?

You just sound a little funny

Real quick: What's the name of the game Martin liked?

That

This one?

Okay…

MESSAGES

LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, KISSES

I'LL BE THERE AROUND NOON

ARE YOU COMING? WHERE ARE YOU?

You claim not to have talked with Mrs Klimentova that evening

But phone records show that you called her

Why?

I don't know

So I called her…

I don't remember it

Try to remember

Sorry we're late, but Honza wanted to draw Martin a picture

No worries, I'll be back in an hour

Fine

And people pay for this

For their own murder

Uncle, look

Hey, look at me twirl it

When I spin it like this, it comes right back again

Do you practise those cryptic looks some place?

Do you know how long your husband had an affair with Mrs Klimentova?

How could you do that?

Fucking listen to me

Did I ever hold you back?

Did I?

I saw you You're a bad boy Get out

This is what I'm talking about

You fucking asshole, I hate you

Hi, I thought I'd stop by

It's late, you should've called

I wanted to arrange things in person for next week

Starting next week, the nurse will be coming

What?

But we said that strangers…

She'll do just as good a job as we do

I can take care of him

Thanks, Dana, I'm incredibly tired

She didn't let me see him

She was irritable

And at the time she was drinking a lot

You know she was or you just think that?

I know it

The stress was obviously too much for her

She no longer had the freedom my son gave her during their marriage

Nurses from the hospital say you yelled at your daughter-in-law several times

Do you know the definition of a witness?

Someone who thinks they saw something

Build your case on facts instead and find out who hurt my son

I can't stand the helplessness

And it irritates me that I don't know what he wants

But I guess I do

He wants to die

Not to be

Sometimes it feels like we're both already dead

Depression is common among patients with chronic aphasia

But this isn't living

Support from loved ones is important

Yeah, sure

I feel terrible

I'll send you a prescription for Zoloft

That will really suppress things, and he'll mainly sleep

It should also decrease his thoughts of suicide

Here's something to help you relax, and my telephone number

Call me anytime if you need to talk

Medical records state that your husband had several cuts on his left hand,

and stab wounds and cuts on his left thigh

He attempted the alleged suicide on November 27

What do you mean "alleged"?

You think I wanted to kill him?

Then why didn't I let him bleed out?

At the hospital back then you couldn't remember

I can't believe this

I'll keep him in the psychiatric ward for a while

It's common practise in such cases

I can better calibrate his medication,

and he'll be under constant supervision

Are you okay?

Mrs Hruba wasn't my patient so I have no comment

According to section 158, paragraph 8 of the penal code,

a person giving an account is obliged to tell the truth

and hold nothing back

She was understandably upset

Did you latch onto any specific details?

No

We have proof that someone killed Mr Hruby

The question is whether he was killed intentionally or through neglect

What's going on?

I know that Martin would never do such a thing

I felt that she was starting to hate him

when she found out that Martin had a child

Do you think your daughter-in-law was having an affair?

I don't know

Regardless, she wasn't one to limit herself because of family

She forbid me from visiting him in the hospital

I didn't know how he was doing

I felt completely helpless

I…

I understand what you must think of me…

but I loved him

True, Honza was unplanned, but we were both happy about it

And it was my decision because I wanted a baby

I had no problem raising him alone

I didn't want anything from Martin

Honza doesn't even know

To him he was just…

Uncle Martin

And it was his decision to be part of Honza's life

Honza's birth certificate has Martin as the father

Look after your mum

-See you later -Bye, Uncle

How many times have we discussed this?

We both knew from the beginning that it wouldn't be easy

Don't you know how hard it is for me to be just his uncle?

So don't be

Stay here with us

Sorry, but I have to go

Will you lie to him his whole life?

It was obvious he'd never leave her

Why? They didn't have kids

His mother said he really wanted them

Exactly

What?

Don't you know?

They tried for years without success

Martin knew how unhappy it made Erika

He knew how much she wanted kids

and he didn't want to add to her pain

Artificial insemination…

isn't always successful

Unfortunately

It doesn't matter, honey

We'll try again

A fifth time?

Then I'll leave you

I don't want someone staying with me out of pity

Dammit, I'm not with you out of pity

I'm with you because I want to be

Don't you get it?

Why did you hide it from his mother?

She thinks you didn't want children

Because I didn't like her sticking her nose into everything

Her and her unflagging determination But don't you dare tell her

Anyway, now she has the grandson she always wanted

How did you feel after finding out…

that your husband had a child?

What do you want to hear?

That I felt somehow clever?

Of course I hated her for it

And him too

But that doesn't mean I killed him

How did Mr Hruby seem during his last hospitalisation?

Given his partial paralysis and the loss of blood he suffered,

other medications were prescribed

At the time of his death,

he was taking antibiotics for a urinary tract infection,

and he had other digestive problems

But those are common for all patients confined to a bed

You regularly documented his condition

and consulted colleagues on the case

Did you happen to discuss experimental treatments?

Almost all treatments are experimental in such cases

We tried pulse therapy, psychoactive drugs…

But it's hard to gauge their effects

because there is very little feedback

We'd like to know if the total failure of his internal organs –

stated in the report as the cause of death –

was somehow unusual

For example, did you suspect that one of your staff…

had neglected something?

No

Rush it to the lab

-What happened? -Organ failure

One, two, three

On one Now Stop

Now Two Now

Yes?

-May I? -Of course

I was just filing this away when I noticed something…

07 mmol per litre

Incredibly low blood glucose

Thanks for the explanation

I asked at the lab

They said they tried to reach you, but you didn't pick up

Did the internist or anyone else see it?

No, he's upstairs somewhere

I was just wondering if I should file it…

Thank you, I'll take care of it

So you contend that Mr Hruby could not have administered insulin to himself

He was physically incapable

He was unable to ask for it or even to ask by writing it down

You said he was under a strong sedative?

Yes, I mean no

For four weeks after his attempted suicide,

he received a strong anxiolytic and antidepressant

But then we took him off it at his wife's request

But he was always under supervision or secured

Even on the day of his death?

Look, I know you've gone over the hospital records

Can you think who might have an interest in Mr Hruby's death?

I don't think anyone wanted to hurt him

-People tried to help him -You, for instance

I'm not a proponent of euthanasia, and as a doctor I can't be

You see, the feelings people bring to it might be temporary

You talk as if your patient was euthanized

We still think it was murder

You firmly rejected an autopsy

even though it is required in cases of suspicious death

Why?

Because I didn't want them to cut him up

But at the time when you saw Dr Zvolsky,

did he not tell you that your husband died of insulin overdose?

They told me he had low blood sugar, but that could be caused by…

Caused by what?

God, I don't know

He took lots of pills Get off my back

Maybe at first you didn't think about murder

but when you realised your husband's disability was permanent…

If that's how I thought, then it was enough to do nothing

A single moment of inattention, and I could have just lived my life

And no one could have said a thing

-Single, well-off… -Exactly

Except now I have to sell my apartment and divide all our assets with her

When did you find out your husband had given half of everything

to Mrs Klimentova and her son?

About a month before his death,

when his lawyer and I had to deal with his life insurance

He left all of it to her

Stop before you get stuck; everything is waterlogged anyway

Not a drop the whole damned summer, now the crops are rotting

Jana, I'll buy the hay

Nice of you but it doesn't help You're already sending money for Honza

Well, what if I send Honza the money for the hay?

Martin told me we'd be taken care of if anything happened

But, of course, I didn't know how

And I didn't think to worry about it

But after his injury, you knew that the insurance was in your name

That's enough reason to suspect you of bringing the insulin into his room

He sent her money every month

but the amounts differed

On top of that, it wasn't a standing order

that continued after his accident

So while Mr Hruby was alive and in the condition he was in,

Mrs Klimentova lacked financial support and her son had no inheritance

because Mr Hruby's wife dealt with his finances

Mrs Klimentova is a horse breeder, so she must've known other vets

She could have had access to powerful drugs…

including insulin

At the very least, she could have found someone to get it for her

Then just add it to his IV and the insurance… was hers

But he was the father of her child

All women are crazy

And like you say, I never met a woman who didn't lie

Eat, Goofy

Of course I was shocked

But I was also happy after it sank in that I had a grandson

And there is something in Martin's life that I should keep trying…

even in this situation

When did you find out?

Hello

Nice of you to call me Erika won't take my calls

I was really scared

What have you got there?

That's a tractor and this is uncle

A tractor and uncle?

Tell me, how is such a young boy so good at drawing?

I just am

-How old are you? -Six

Would you stay here while I get a coffee?

I didn't really like how Jana offered help to Erika, of course

She's a single mother who also has a stable to look after

Yet she has time to help a woman she doesn't know?

Then when I saw her with Martin…

well… you know…

I was happy

Martin looked just the same at his age

Hi

-Get out -I'm the one who called her

Both of you get out

Then Erika asked the hospital staff to stop Jana from coming to visit

Don't you realise this isn't about you?

Or…

Or about her either?

Martin needs to know that we can solve this situation

And he needs to see Honza

How do you know? Did he say so?

I can feel it

And I can feel that he needs peace

And so do I

Can you check to see if any of them got broken on the way?

If they did, here's a sharpener

It's electric

Martin would surely have wanted you and the boy to be well taken care of

So if you need money or anything, I'm happy to help

Anything at all Understand?

You don't know how happy I am to have the two of you

Did you ever notice Mrs Hruba and Dr Zvolsky behaving…

intimately?

She used to go to his office

Sometimes for a long time,

but that's normal

Everyone here is suffering, you know?

Stop it

When were you with Mr Hruby on the day he died?

From about two

I changed his catheter, but I told you that the first time you were here

Do you think it could've been caused…

by a change of medication?

Not likely Mr Hruby wasn't diabetic

The medical report says he had high blood sugar

Lots of drugs influence the metabolism of glucose

You want to lower his blood sugar, you're tired, your attention wanders…

You administer too large a dose, and that's that

Don't try to drag me into this

I don't know what they'd been saying

His mother dragged her into the room before I got there

So I only heard her say that they weren't going to make a scene

And she apologised to me

What about the other two?

What do you mean?

How did you feel about them?

Anything unusual? Anything that surprised you?

No

Maybe only that his wife couldn't stand the other woman

with the little boy

But then she stopped coming

How many times that day did you attend to Mr Hruby?

I gave him breakfast…

And then I saw him once more before rounds

Security footage shows you there when all three were visiting

Right…

I returned…

because I had left ciprofloxacin on the table

That's an antibiotic for urinary tract infections

And when I went in…

things were kind of… strange

Show me once again where Mrs Klimentova was standing

She was sitting, not standing The chair was there

And Mrs Hruba?

By the window

Did you see her hands?

I don't know

No

The atmosphere was pretty heavy so I got out of there fast

Her mother was at the sink

And the two of them turned their back to me when I came in

Which two?

His mother and his wife

The nurses have no motive

Could they be covering for the doctor?

Could be

Thanks to Dr Zvolsky's experiments, Mr Hruby had high blood sugar

The doctor needs to bring down blood sugar

Bad dosage

He can hide behind the nurses

Do you think it's possible that while you were with your son, just before…

That your daughter-in-law or Mrs Klimentova

could have added something to his IV?

No, not at that time

But your daughter-in-law was there first,

so she had time alone with him

If you say so

Do you think…

…that she could do it?

I wanted to go sleep anyway

No love lost between you and your daughter-in-law, eh?

No, you're right

I really don't like her very much

It must've been terrible waiting for her to finally decide

Martin couldn't leave her after all they'd gone through

What do you mean?

Why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't you tell me you'd been trying to have a baby?

How do you know?

Jana

Don't explain, I didn't come for that

I came to apologise

I'm sorry, I just didn't understand

Now I know how terrible you must've felt

when you found out about Honza

I'm very sorry

About it all

Forgive me

You know what finally made me feel better?

At least I know he had that experience

Something he so wanted

He got to have that

When you three were in your husband's room, can you imagine

Mrs Klimentova or your mother-in-law

putting something into his IV?

We talked most of the time

But you told Dr Zvolsky and the staff

that you didn't want Mrs Klimentova visiting your husband

That's why she visited with my mother-in-law

They wouldn't have let her in otherwise

I'm not asking for her, but for Martin

If you take her there, he'll see that you've forgiven him

I think we all need that now

What are his chances now?

As you know, Erika

we can't rely on almost any communication strategy

Just ask the speech therapist

He's even failing his efforts to understand pictures or writing

So naturally his feelings of inferiority are increasing

He's losing self-worth,

and he's taking it badly

And the limited movement?

I wouldn't count on any fundamental improvement

So, we're trapped

Amen

You didn't have to tell her

She treated you so badly because she didn't know, that's why I told her

I also treated you terribly

I don't know what to do; I'm ashamed of myself

You weren't ashamed before?

No, I didn't know you before

You were just some woman

I didn't imagine you like this

Then how did you imagine me?

I don't know

I tried not to imagine you at all

Or only enough to justify why Martin deserved me…

and Honza

But then I realised he loved you,

and that he'd have left me if not for Honza

Every time we parted, he was already thinking about you

That hurt

I sometimes wished he didn't exist

Because I couldn't end it

Anyone could've given him the insulin

Any of the doctors or staff

Maybe his blood sugar went up because of all the drugs

Seems like you know something about it

I couldn't have done it

I was with them the whole time

I'd have to be crazy to try to kill him in front of his wife and mother

Do I look crazy?

What about last Christmas?

Honza asked him

what he wanted from Santa

He said he'd like a picture to hang on the wall

Well…

But as he left and we were alone,

he said he wished he wouldn't have to lie on Christmas anymore

I mean

that he wouldn't have to lie anymore at all

Well, then, he got his wish

First off, I already know

And second, he can't talk anymore

Thank you

For what?

That we're here together like this

At least we can do this for him

-I like this song -Me too

I think we might be able to do something else for him

I think we have to tell her

As a mother, I'd want to know if it were my child

She won't allow it I know it

I think you underestimate her

And I think I've known her for 15 years

-Bye -Bye

How do you imagine it going forward?

His life

If you can even call it that

Martin would never let an animal suffer like that

Martin isn't an animal

And we don't know what he thinks

Don't we?

He'll be able to use the toilet soon; he's getting better at it

Perhaps

But for now he needs two people to help him

because he's taking a strong sedative

But without the sedative, he keeps trying to hurt himself

Because he's not improving

Your son flat-out refuses to co-operate

-You don't tend to him enough -Excuse me?

He's become too much for you to handle

Let me tell you something: things have become too much for him to handle

He thinks and feels, so he fully realises his limitations

He can't talk or write, and half his body isn't under his control

He doesn't want to stare at the ceiling or be a burden to anyone

The inability to communicate is among the worst of all disabilities

Sorry

but the feeling I get from him

is that he's already lost the struggle between body and soul

You'll have to excuse me, I have other patients

I want all three of us to be there, so he'll know you've patched it up

And so he'll have a chance to say goodbye in peace

I want him to be fully aware

so we truly know what he wants

On that day, none of us can ever be there alone with him

And no one should know that we're on speaking terms

or that you two are getting along

Not you and me either

A person should experience everything life brings until their last breath

I'd be cautious about discontinuing the sedative

His mental state isn't stable

How can you know that?

This isn't his mental state, it's a state you put him into

And I'd like to see how my husband really is

Don't you want to know?

If it's your express wish, I'll discontinue it

On your authority

-What's she doing here? -I invited her

-I don't want her here -It's not just your decision

-He's my husband -And my son

I don't want you here

Because you're not thinking about him

And what were you thinking about when you slept with a married man?

World peace?

Let's stop airing our dirty laundry for the whole hospital

I'll get my coffee

I just wanted to have it out with her, for Honza's sake and for Dana's

Then she stopped taking my calls

I had to convince her to finally let me see him

I was so ashamed of them

The last thing he needed was to see us fight

-Will you feed him? -Yes, thanks

I still feel terrible that not one of us focused on Martin that day

Instead we just fought

Maybe if we hadn't fought, we might've noticed something in time

Maybe we could've done something

The whole time I've felt that

we were the ones who killed Martin

Because of our ridiculous arguing

And he was suddenly aware of it because he'd changed medications

I was afraid that he gave out because he was so disturbed by it

I was relieved to find out that's not what happened

You'd have to live with this a very long time

There's another thing…

If you'll be keeping a file on Martin, this should be part of it

Not just from after his injury

You're sure this is right?

I recommend we close the investigation

We failed to ascertain the evidence needed to prosecute

In fact, there's not a concrete suspect

I'll send the DA the decision to drop the case

It'll be okay, don't worry

It has to be

Say hi to Honza
