All language subtitles for Charite s04e02 Trauma.eng

I'm really looking forward to
heading the Institute

of Microbiology.

Why did Hamburg send us the patient?

They found nothing.

We've never seen this.

His inflammation
is spreading unusually quickly.

People would rather go down
than change their habits.

Stop the reform!

It divides society.

It's insane to cancel an operation

when the patient
is already on the table.

We have a second case.

It's a completely
new type of pathogen.

Resistant to all
conventional antibiotics.

You must close all beaches
immediately!

MINISTRY OF HEALTH
BERLIN, 2049

Minister Nguyen.

The heat continues

and you've denied people access
to the water for three days.

When will you reopen the beaches?

I can only assure everyone
that we're working flat out.

First the tough reform

and now the beach closures.

Calls for your resignation
are intensifying.

What do you say to that?

It is my duty
to guarantee people's safety

and to take the necessary measures

in consultation with
my scientific advisory board.

I see this as my duty
and my sole focus at the moment.

Thank you.

And what about
your poor poll ratings?

Stop the reform!

Stop the reform!

FIGHT BACK NOW!

How am I supposed
to stop the reform?

Refuse to carry out the measures.
Lay down your work!

If I do that, many more will die
than as a result of the reform.

You want that?

Stop the reform!

BAD POLITICIANS
BAD HEALTHCARE

Reform protests continue.

Clinics and ministries are besieged.

Ah! Old crap!

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Oh. Thank you.
- Not your day today?

Yes, it's fine. Oh, I don't know.

The people out there
are annoying the hell out of me.

- Fighting for their cause.
- That's it!

It's not their cause. It's ours!

The demos in the courtyard

are great,
but stopping us from working -

what good does that do?

So you're against the reform?

I'm in favour of common sense,

and that's not besieging hospitals.

- Hey wait, Mr Elephant!
- Oops!

Shutting down.

- Er, can you give me that?
- Sure.

I can't walk without it.

- Connected.
- I'll help you.

Hey, you can't
run around here like that.

- Be careful.
- She wasn't looking.

Lisa.

- I'm sorry.
- No, she's right. I was distracted.

Dad, where's the doctor now?

There.

- Who are you going to see?
- Dr Williamson

- in neurotechnology?
- Wrong direction, I'll take you.

Thanks.

I've issued an infection alert
and closed the beaches.

And not a single new infection
in three days!

Do you realise
how ridiculous I look right now?

There are no new infections
because you acted immediately.

I'm sorry, Thomas, but...

if I don't know what exactly we're
dealing with in this bacterium,

I can't give you
any other recommendations.

We don't even know yet whether

it's a localised problem
or a global problem

that just
hasn't been discovered yet.

Can you come down
from your ivory tower for a minute?

It's 39 degrees outside

and it's about to get even hotter.

We can't keep people
out of the North Sea any longer.

It's high season now!

The tourist board is giving me hell
and today the press are dubbing me

"the dehydrator".

I'm sorry, Thomas.

You don't want to hear it,

but we have a dead man.

If I don't get any clarity from you
in 24 hours,

I'm lifting the ban.

So, Christine
is about to start dialysis.

It will take over the detox function
for your husband's weakened kidneys.

We have to prevent

the bacteria
from attacking other organs.

And that's why I'm going to give
your husband a combined antibiotic

that should combat the inflammation.
In other words,

the inflammation levels
must be reduced.

OK, and if the antibiotic
doesn't work again?

Well, if it doesn't work,

then I would start phage therapy,
with your consent, of course.

What is that?

Phages are viruses

that only fight bacteria.

They attach to cell walls
and destroy them.

So, hmm, you'll...

infect Piet again
with something else?

Yes, but...

the phages only attack the bacteria
that are making your husband sick.

And this treatment is quite
punishing on the body, of course.

And that's why we're going to try
this combined antibiotic again, OK?

Good.

It's always so nice here.

And almost a bit romantic, isn't it?

There are too many
people here for that.

- Sorry, we're here with a group.
- Yeah...

- it doesn't feel that real either.
- No?

Maybe try running.

So, whoever reaches
that rock first!

Call it a day after that.
I have another appointment.

Ferhat?

Ferhat?

You have a visitor.
This young lady wants to see you.

- Thank you, Marlene.
- Thank you.

- You must be Lisa.
- Yes.

Hello, Dr Williamson.
I'm Berk.

Thanks for taking the time
to see Lisa.

Lisa,

- come back over here.
- Who are these people?

Why aren't they talking?

They can, but with a voice device.
They're Locked-in patients.

They've had something like
a lightning strike to the brain.

And so they're paralysed now
and can only move their eyes.

And what are you doing with them?

We're doing exercises
in a programmed environment

to stimulate movement impulses
in the brain.

And if we do this often enough,

they might eventually be able
to move again in real life.

Why don't they wear exo-leggings?

The patients have damage
to the ventral pons.

Leggings don't help with that.

Lisa, come here now, please.

Let's go to my office.

- Thank you.
- We'll start in a minute.

Hello, Mrs Abdul-Hai.

How are you feeling?

Stupid question.

Can I do anything for you?

I don't think anyone
can help me anymore.

I had so much hope and thought
I'd get better after the operation.

Oh well... Look at me. I'm a wreck!

No strength left to work.

And I...

probably won't be able to look after
my grandchildren for much longer.

Oh well...

It saddens me that you've lost hope.

Not quite.
I still have one last hope.

The hope...

that it maybe doesn't last
so much longer.

Mrs Abdul-Hai, look at me.

I'll think of something.
I promise you.

Lisa's doctor in Zurich says that
her spinal cord injury has healed,

and there's no reason why Lisa can't
walk again without exo-leggings.

OK. Yes.
The old injury is still there.

So this dark spot here.

That's the reason
your legs were paralysed.

Take off your band, please.

It's OK.

Shutting down.

So. Now I've got something
really special.

Hold this.

OK...

All good?

NEUROTECH DATA -
PATIENTS BRAIN DATA

OK. So...

I'm going to send
a signal to your brain

and we'll see
if it comes through, OK?

It won't hurt.

OK. Ready!

BRAIN SENSORY STIMULATION

OK, that's it.

Very good.

So - neurologically,
everything is fine.

The nerves transmit the command
from the brain to the muscles.

Let's take that off. There we go.

Take off the exoskeleton, please.

No. I can't walk without it.

But nobody expects you to, Lisa.

I know it's not easy for you.

Why can't I always wear
the leggings?

Because you don't need them.

Besides, it's much better to have
control over your legs again.

Isn't it?

Hmm?

Can you help Lisa?

I think so.

Hey! Spring cleaning?

You can't just sneak up on me
like that!

Oh, sorry!

I didn't mean to scare you.

Let's just keep a bit more distance
on the ward, shall we?

Is that alright?

Lights off.

Dialysis will buy us some time
with Baldwin.

I'll programme
the individual antibiotic

- for him...
- Maral?

I still need a signature
for the examination board.

And Mrs Bonetti wanted
the grant application now...

Yes, Sheila, I'll be right there.

Go take care
of your business, Maral.

This here is my business!

We've been in the dark for days.

Or can you explain to me why we

can't find the bacteria
on any of the North Sea beaches?

It must be transmitted
via the water.

Because two people
were in the North Sea in the summer?

Yes, and it's the only
logical conclusion.

- I said I'm coming.
- There are two new cases.

- Here?
- In the Netherlands.

Two industrial divers.

They were repairing something
on an offshore wind farm.

So the bacterium

has definitely been transmitted
via seawater.

Add offshore islands. Connect.

Weather and currents.

That's where you're coming from!

Greenland.

Since I can't find anything either,
I'd like to make a suggestion.

Mmhmm.

But it's not a simple suggestion.

I'm here with Lisa because you work
with state-of-the-art technology.

- I'm open to anything you suggest.
- Good.

Lisa's problem isn't physiological
but psychological.

She's suffering from an unresolved
inner conflict, an emotional trauma.

What child wouldn't be
after losing their mother?

Right.

The way your wife died
makes it especially serious.

That's why I recommend MTT -

Memory Trauma Therapy.

This procedure was developed by me

and it enables you to relive

and reassess
the traumatic experience

with therapeutic support.

Does that mean... Lisa would relive

- the accident with you?
- Yes.

In a virtual simulation
of her memories.

And you'd be there too.

Could you do that?

I could, yes.

But not my child...

She couldn't cope with that again.

We should let her decide.

Can't you just...

erase Lisa's memories
of the accident?

Erase Mum?

Lisa. Wait!

Leave me alone!

I've given him the antibiotic now...

The bacterium isn't unknown
and so different because it's new,

but because it's old.

- Sorry, what?
- Have a look at this.

- That was Greenland 15 years ago.
- Yeah.

- Now look at the ice layers.
- Yeah.

And?

I suspect the bacterium was trapped
in the ice for thousands of years.

And when the permafrost melted,
it was released

and spread

by the ocean currents.

You mean Mr Baldwin

is being attacked
by a bacterium from the Stone Age?

It certainly looks like it.

Well, no matter where this
paleobacterium comes from -

we must get it out of his body.

One step at a time.

Paleobacterium...

Has a certain ring to it.

A research vessel has taken samples
from the deep sea

and confirmed our theory.

The paleobacterium
was detected in the water.

However, the currents apparently

spread it to deeper waters.

It hasn't reached the shore so far.

Very good.

Then we can reopen the beaches,
can't we?

All I can say is that
it's not very likely

that the bacteria will wash ashore.

You're answering like a politician.

Maral,

at the Ministry this morning,

we received a bomb threat.

I need a concrete statement now.

You're the expert.

What is your recommendation?

The pandemic threat isn't acute,
but it hasn't been averted either.

The situation
is extremely confusing.

There are no clear answers.

I'm a scientist,
I can only advise you.

You make the political decisions.

Experts are people who only have
one string on the fiddle.

Old Arabic saying.

- Would you like some tea?
- Sure.

- Here. You just take a cup.
- Right.

And put it here.

- Ah, and then...
- Yes.

- Hey Marlene.
- Oh, hey.

Oh, you two haven't met yet,
have you?

Ferhat, this is Lou Melnik,
my new nursing assistant.

Lou, this is Ferhat Williamson,
head of neurotechnology.

Ah, that's you.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Hi.

Is it two o'clock yet?

What's at two o'clock?

Our tea time.

Exactly one hour
after lunch every day.

No, it's not always
an hour after lunch,

sometimes we meet at three...

It's almost always two.

I always eat at one.

But we don't always meet at two.

Lou?

- Is he epileptic?
- It seems so.

- Do you know if he's eaten?
- No.

- Heart problems?
- No idea, really!

He's epileptic. See the chip?

Oh, that's strange.

What's strange?

The epilepsy suppression service
has disconnected.

And I don't get why the black box
didn't record anything here.

OK, I'll do this here...

Resetting it?

No, I'm reloading it for you.
That should help.

If it's a hardware problem, I'd
switch to the non-invasive method.

It's much safer than these chips.

You can fix issues more easily

and are better protected
against tampering.

You just walk around like a dork

with a headband full of coils.

OK.

I'll fix the service now

and then I'll reinforce
your firewall.

I did it recently. It's secure.

Are you a programmer?

- I was.
- But there's still a port open.

Meant to be insecure?

Nope.

OK.

It'll take a while now.

- Accept.
- Maral.

Emilia.

Why wasn't I at the meeting
with the Minister of Health?

We should've discussed that.

- What?
- News live.

Emilia?

News live, Thomas Nguyen.

That's just populism
from the opposition again.

And is it prudent to open
the beaches, when the source

of infection is not yet confirmed?

Of course,
nothing is 100% guaranteed.

But after consulting
Dr Maral Safadi from the Charité,

we can do this
with a clear conscience.

In fact, we have to.

Because the heat
and lack of cooling facilities

can have health consequences.

PRESS CONFERENCE

- Please.
- Excuse me?

You arse!

Shit.

There you are.

Your dad won't find you here.

I want to be alone.

Lisa.

We don't want to erase
the memory of your mum.

I don't believe you.

Too bad.

I was just about to share
a secret of mine.

We have something in common.

What?

You also wear leggings?

Mmhmm.

Can't you walk either?

Yes, I had an accident too.

I... jumped off a rock into the sea.

Mine are nicer.

I don't think so.

Let's swap bands.

Shutting down.

Please.

Shutting down.

Now move your legs again.

- I can't.
- Then you're not really trying.

I am!

I can't either.

Let's swap back.

Connected. Connected.

You see?

Our exoskeletons don't react
to the other's thoughts.

No other person
can move their legs for us,

not even if they have
our control band on.

Right, because our thoughts
are ours and ours only!

Exactly.

And the MTT therapy
that I'd like to do with you

only works if you want it.

Only you decide which thoughts
you share, and what should happen.

You're not erasing Mum?

Absolutely not.

Pinky promise.

- Hey.
- Hey. Are you finished?

Yeah, shattered. The Health Minister
made sure of that.

Yeah?

Michel and I
will take your mind off it.

Yes, please.

Tell me,
did he talk to you again

about these world saviours...

Oh, no... no.

Where are your things?

I forgot them in the lab.

What's that?

What is it?

I... I had an outburst earlier.

You had an outburst.

Anyway, the beaker with
the paleobacteria spilt on me...

and look - it caused
the other bacteria to grow.

What's that mean?

Good question.

Ah...

Sorry...

- Maral?
- Hmm?

Would you like to stay?

- I'll catch up with you, OK?
- OK.

OK.

- Bye.
- Bye.

You can get dressed.

Perfect scoring.

Daily exercise and good nutrition.

- You still need a new heart.
- Indeed,

but without my daily exercise,
I would've needed it ten years ago.

That's exactly how the reform works.

Take responsibility for yourself,
you'll stay healthy for longer.

Yes - those that can afford it.

Where's my new heart anyway?
Can I see it?

It's still being printed.

By the way,
your criticism is unjustified.

We have indeed taken
the social factor into account.

"Politics is not unfair if conducted
with common sense",

Margaret Thatcher.

I tend to follow Romi's advice:

"Always speak from the heart,
never from the mind".

You should go into politics.

I'd love to have an opponent
like you.

Your shirt's buttoned up wrong.

Hey!

Hey.

How was it with Ferhat?

Ah. He doesn't think much
of implants.

Can we help you with anything?

Are you free tonight?

- I...
- Need a hand?

- What do you need?
- Er, nothing!

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Hey, doing anything nice later?

Why?

Do you want me to stay?

No! Not at all. I just thought...

Er... Never mind.
Have a nice evening.

- Thank you. You too.
- Bye.

You repaired a 20-year-old
domestic robot?

You should get a prize for that.

Thank you.

It was a hard and rocky road,
but it was worth it in the end.

The thank-you speeches
still need a bit of work.

- Yeah.
- Hmm.

Hey, do you fancy
going for a drink tonight?

- What's that?
- From Seda.

- She needs a signature.
- On paper?

I have to go.

Everything OK?

6, 4, 6, 0.

Hello?

What's going on here?

Operating consultant: Seda Safadi.

Operating theatre assistant:
Marlene Hirt.

Today, we're transplanting a kidney
into Felicitas Abdul-Hai.

Hey...

Light out.

What a stupid thing to do!

It's illegal, Seda,
and damn dangerous!

- We could lose our jobs.
- Why?

It went fine.

Oh, operating with
outdated equipment is fine?

And what about Mrs Abdul-Hai?

Leave her here?

In this abandoned wing?

There must be space somewhere.
We'll check the occupancy plan.

We will? You will.

I'm leaving now - and I'm never
stepping foot in here again.

OK. Fine.

You're right.

It was a bit risky.

Finally, you're coming
to your senses.

That's why we need to set it up
more professionally.

Lisa, we're going to go to the scene
of the accident together.

It won't be easy,

but don't forget, your father and I
will be with you the whole time.

We're connected
by the synchronisation vests -

meaning that our heart rates
are synchronised

and we sort of feel like one body.

If you get scared
and don't want to go on,

then we feel that too.
Then we leave.

We'll only do what you can handle.
OK?

- OK.
- OK.

Good, we'll start now.

We close our eyes.

Today is the day
of your mother's accident.

What do you remember?
Think about it.

What can you see?

What can you hear?

What can you smell?

Lisa, hurry up!

OK.

Yes, she's 17 years old.
She wants to rebel, right?

Lisa, come on!

Jeez, Lisa!

We're with you, Lisa.
You're doing really well.

Mum! Mum!

I can feel your fear.

You're so brave.

Look up into the trees for a moment.
And now take a breath...

and out again.
Again. In through the nose.

And out. Very good. Super.

Do you see?
You have everything under control.

Do you want to carry on?

Yes? Good.

Take a good look at everything.

But everything is blurry.

Do you know why?

My hands are covering my face.

There's a zebra crossing here.

Cars are not allowed
to drive over it that fast.

You recognised that very well, Lisa.

The accident isn't your fault.

Mum.

And it still happened because of me.

Stop!

Stop! Now!

Ava is dead.

She's not coming back either.

I loved her so much.

I just don't know how I can be
a good father without her.

Dad, you're a good father.

Let's resolve the situation. Yes?

We'll go somewhere nicer? OK?

OK?

Lisa?

How are you feeling?

Weird.

Lisa, you're standing.

Try to take a few steps.

Great, Lisa.

- Wow.
- Good.

You're walking, you can do it.

Yes, great.

- Good.
- Come on.

- I walked!
- Yes, you did!

Put me down, Dad.

How come I can walk again now?

Well, when you're sad
for two people all the time,

then it's quite a burden on you.

Especially
when you can't offload it.

And if someone helps you a bit
and takes the weight off,

then you become lighter

and you can walk better again.

Thank you.

And why didn't you
speak to him last night?

Because you haven't said anything
about the whole thing yet.

I don't always want to be bad cop.

- That's your role from now on.
- Oh, Julia!

Hey!

Come here, my love.

- You both seem pretty chirpy.
- Yep.

And? You wanted to talk to me
about something?

- Right.
- Exactly. Maral?

Er, yes...

We wanted to talk about
your future plans.

And about... human enhancement.

I just want to work

for peace in this crazy world.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

But you also have to...

ask yourself
a few critical questions.

Like what?

Like why you have to have

a chip implanted in your head?

- Yes.
- Huh?

It's for my own safety.

Any mistake in the field could mean
me killing innocent people.

Shooting faster and more accurately
with biotech, that helps a lot more.

- He's well informed.
- Besides,

you're also researching
the microbiome to improve people.

It's not so different.

- It is!
- Point to you!

It's completely different!

Your mother

sees a human being
as a being made of flesh and blood,

not as a fighting machine.

- Mum!
- True.

But I'd still be a human being,

just with a few more
sensory abilities.

We don't even know whether this chip
will cause any long-term damage.

Oh Mum, that's so bio-conservative.

Wait a minute,
I'm a bio-optimist, OK?

Don't contradict me.

Soldiers with enhancement

are expected to take on other tasks.

- Yes, the more exciting ones.
- And the more dangerous!

Michel, this chip

can make you carry out orders
that you might not even want to!

That can't be your goal!

I want to bring peace to countries
we've ruined and you're dismissive.

No, I'm not dismissing it.

I've managed just fine without you
for the last year.

Now you suddenly want to
lay down the law again.

Nope.

That's not how it works.

Michel? Michel!

- Great!
- Yeah, great.

Julia.

Julia.

He only said that
because he wanted to hurt us.

He wanted to come back to Berlin
after college.

And we wanted to be united
when speaking to Michel.

You. You wanted to talk to him.

I want him to be free to decide
what he wants to do.

I won't make the same mistakes
as my mother.

Maral, for once this isn't about

Seda and you,

it's about our son!

Maybe I'm not
totally against his wishes.

He's young, he wants
to make the world a better place.

That's something to be proud of!

No.

I can't be proud that

our child wants to go to war
and be controlled by a nanochip

in his head.

No, sorry, I can't.

- Maral?
- Yes.

I'll... I'll talk to him again.

OK?

I have to go now.

Yes. But make sure you do!

Do you control the bacteria?

Then we'll add you.

Adding paleobacteria
to the microbiome.

You really control
the other bacteria.

You're not going to kill it.

You've just been operating
in the wrong area.

You're going to save him.
