Original subtitles

Not here.

I checked there already.

Any news?

No.

He's not there. Check there.

Oh. Got anything?

I'll check in PT.

I don't think he went to the OR.

He's not there either.

Doctor!

Oh, fuck.

ANAESTHESIA

SUWAŁKI SPECIALIST HOSPITAL

Mateusz, stop!

Fuck off! All of you!

Stay here.

Not a step closer or I'll jump!

Don't do it!

I trusted you and I woke up without a leg. I'm not talking to you.

We had no choice!

Uh, wait. It's for you.

-What? -It's for you.

-Hello. -Don't tell him it's a psychiatrist.

For a suicidal person it's the worst.

Tell him it's the hospital administration.

That his parents are on their way.

Mateusz, it's the administration. Your parents are on their way.

They'll be here soon.

Talk to him.

Draw his attention.

-Just don't let him provoke you. -Sure.

Mateusz, did you hear me? Your parents will be here soon.

So what?

Distract him.

What?

Say something silly. I don't know, ask him a question.

The stupider, the better.

Mateusz…

-Pepsi or Coke? -What are you talking about?

I know it's stupid, but answer me, talk to me.

Leave me alone.

He's too close to the edge. I won't catch him if he tries to jump.

Draw his anger upon yourself.

Let him be mad at you, not at his life.

Okay, you were right.

Yes, it's my fault.

I could have saved that leg.

But if you jump, I'll get away with it, you know that.

So are you jumping or are you gonna beat the shit out of me?

You're gonna fight a cripple?

If I were you, I'd fucking demolish this hospital.

Leave me alone.

Please.

What now? Hello?

Hello!

Hello?

Mateusz, calm down.

I'm coming to you.

-No! -I'm coming over very slowly, calmly.

No! You could have fucking let me die!

-I swear it would have been easier. -No, I couldn't, I'm a doctor.

Mateusz, no!

Oh, dear Lord! Can you hear me? Hello!

-I'll get the monitor. -Go.

Give me the monitor!

Excuse me.

One, two, three, lift!

How is he?

-The patient is in respiratory failure. -Stethoscope.

-Who are you? -Konstanty Walkiewicz.

It's my first day in the ER.

Pulse barely detectable, not breathing.

Bradycardia. 32, 30. He's gonna crash.

A pneumothorax. His lung might be punctured.

It seems he's not breathing.

-Get him on the table as soon as possible. -Fucking move it. Call the OR.

Get him on the gurney.

Is the OR ready?

-Okay, one, two, three, lift! -We're bringing a patient.

Wanda, the OR is ready!

Okay, lift.

-Mikołaj, you'll be fine. -Let's go.

This is what punctured the lung.

Stupid little punk.

The lung is yours.

He should buy a subscription with me.

He was in here a few days ago, now he's here again.

If he does anything to himself again, I won't operate on him.

It's not your fault.

I know it's not my fault.

It's the second time I'm saving his life.

The amputation was necessary.

Leszek, I know it was necessary, it's just…

it's a shame he doesn't understand that.

All right, lavage.

Who's Mikołaj?

When they were taking Mateusz, you called him Mikołaj.

Just a slip of the tongue.

Why did you leave Warsaw?

What is this? An interrogation, a therapy session?

Nah, I'm just curious.

Traffic jams.

Traffic jams and constant roadworks. It always fucking pissed me off.

You turn everything into a joke.

You do this stand-up routine just to avoid thinking about what just happened here.

I guess we won't talk.

So they kicked Łazarz out?

Disciplinary, huh?

So it wasn't a regular contract termination.

That's good.

Is there anything else?

You must be kidding. For us to be even, you'd have to try a little harder.

See you.

DAWID ŁAZARZ NEUROSURGERY PHENOMENON

Beautifully done.

You always say that.

You do everything beautifully.

OPERATING ROOMS

-Bye. -Bye.

-Mateusz. -Mateusz.

-Mateusz! -Son.

-Are you Mateusz's parents? -We caught the first plane.

-We'll talk in a moment. -All right.

-He got oxygen immediately. -I'll take it.

There was no permanent damage to the lungs.

The other internal organs are also intact.

He'll get through this.

You must be joking.

No way. I'm gonna record this.

Why did you cut off his leg?

Sir, ma'am, we did absolutely everything to save it. Believe me.

But his life was in danger.

We couldn't wait any longer. There was a risk of sepsis.

And what? After all that he went up to the roof by himself? This is criminal.

-He survived, that's important. -What the fuck are you talking about?

-Stop it. -Stop what?

My son's lost his leg! This mess is worse than a Third World country!

Sir, ma'am, after the disaster we were saving the lives of dozens of people.

We were working in crisis conditions.

Come on, let's go see Mateusz.

Come on.

I won't let this go.

I'll destroy you all.

-Come on. -Bastards.

Do you like this job as much as I do?

Yes.

We're adding an extra bed.

Well, I mean…

Hello.

What's going on here?

-I've heard you're the one who saved me. -Nah, he did most of the work.

I owe you a bottle.

You'll have time for that. How are you?

Super fucking awesome. Discharge me, please.

I just drilled a hole in your skull. Get some rest.

One more day in this bed and you'll have to drill another one.

A few more days at least.

-Doc, I feel amazing. -No. Please.

-I think I'm competent. But… -Hey. Stop the badass act, okay?

-I really feel fine now. -Lie down, get some rest.

You let her rest, too.

-I'm serious, I feel fine. Get in bed. -No.

-He's gone. -You have a hole in your head.

And you woke the lady up.

Hello.

Are you sure you were downstairs?

You were right about the myocardial contusion.

Dawid Łazarz.

Oleg Kovalev.

-I don't want to clean here till I retire. -I get it.

I applied for the state exam. I can take it in six months.

That's a long time. Your fingers will get stiff, man.

-And you? Are you staying here for good? -For good? No.

-Well, for a while. -Oleg!

Can you come here with a mop? We have a spill.

Sorry, you understand. I have to. A spill.

Sure. I have to go too.

Hello, Doctor.

You became our superhero.

I'd definitely prefer to be one in the operating room.

Should I choose something or…

I'm sorry, Doctor, but first the formalities.

A test to detect psychoactive substances?

We had a cocaine user in the area. That's why we want to maintain standards.

Seriously?

Without it, I won't let you operate.

But I'm sure everything will be fine. For now, go to the clinic.

For our patients, it's a unique privilege to consult with a specialist like you.

…I called out number 60.

-How long can one wait? -I've been here five hours!

-You weren't in line. -I was, I just went to the bathroom.

Who saw you? Sure, you were.

-All will get a chance. -Dr. Łazarz, which office?

-To die, maybe. -I've been here since 9:00 a.m.

Office two.

How do they schedule?

Miss Mirella!

You box?

No, only when someone pisses me off.

I'm conducting research on reducing tremors in Parkinson's disease.

Doctor!

-Good luck, ten minutes per patient. -Excuse me, are you…

Miss Mirella!

-…an ENT? -No.

-Is it all for me? -Business as usual.

All these people are here for you, Doctor.

Who's here for office two?

-I am. -We are.

Me too.

And who's here just for a prescription?

Great. Then follow this lady and tell her what you need.

Write it down. It'll be faster this way.

I'll verify and sign everything later. Leave the rest in my office.

All right. Follow me.

Excuse me, how long have you had this?

What? I'm just here with my dad. His back hurts.

One of your arteries is pressing on the nerve

that controls the right side of your face.

I can take care of it. It'll all go away.

Can you come with me?

Okay? You too.

-And you. -Dad, stand there.

-But I'm waiting for the ENT. -All right, open wide.

Atrophy of the left side of the tongue.

-Any problems swallowing? -Yeah, for the past two weeks.

Follow me, don't be shy.

Hello. Urgent matter.

Suspicion of a ruptured aneurysm.

Angio-CT of cerebral vessels.

This gentleman has a focal lesion at the base of the skull. Possible tumor.

That's probably the cause of your paresis. And here, suspicion of nerve compression.

Do a head CT.

Anna, Maria, Wanda.

Also Waldemar, Tomasz, Zbigniew, and Leon. Please come to my office.

Wait, all together?

How long do you want to sit here? Come on in.

Go ahead. Sit wherever you want.

Back pain and leg numbness.

That's the common denominator.

I'll explain the symptoms, answer your questions, cause they often repeat.

Then I'll see each of you individually and give you referrals for tests.

Do you agree?

Yes.

Great.

NEUROHELP CENTER

It's not often that a star like that gets fired overnight, right?

Sometimes people have differences in viewpoints.

-May I ask what viewpoints exactly? -About medicine.

-I see. -Are you investigating his dismissal?

Well, maybe. Yes.

Okay.

I'll tell you what happened.

Doctor Łazarz punched me. He got carried away.

Why did he get carried away?

It was just… insubordination.

Some people can't follow orders. Is that all?

-If you said all there is to know. -Yes.

Why are you defending him?

He sucker punched you.

Because there's still such a thing as decency.

Bullshit.

Something happened that hurt the clinic.

I want all the medical records

of all of Łazarz's patients from the last few months.

Medical records of patients

are confidential.

You'd need a warrant.

In this case, a prosecutor's order is enough.

Here you go.

Thank you, Doctor.

What you've done here is so incredible it should be on TV.

Finally.

Can we come in?

Now, hands forward, please.

And close your eyes.

Good, please sit down.

Does it feel the same here as it does here?

Yes? How about… now?

Yes.

I couldn't get up because of the dizziness.

But you said you were feeling better, right?

Yes, better.

So the symptoms of food poisoning appeared a few months ago.

It's because of all those herbs she's been drinking.

Good, hands forward, please.

Close your eyes again. And touch your nose with this finger.

Great, now the same with the other hand.

Good, thank you. That's enough.

How about you write a prescription so we can go home?

We don't know what's wrong with her yet.

What do you mean, you don't know? What kind of doctor are you?

-Let's go or we'll be late-- -Excuse me. Can you leave?

You're hindering my examination. Please wait in the hallway.

-We're done with this circus, let's go. -Take it easy, Maria…

Okay, sit down. Okay, please sit down.

It's nothing. Please lie down.

Legs.

Please hold this and wipe your wife's mouth.

I need a wheelchair in room two.

You're staying in the ward.

We'll do a CT scan, and we'll see what's next.

Ten CT scan orders and seven new patients in the ward.

All in one day.

I take it I broke the record.

Do I get a prize?

You quickly cleared your queue, but you clogged up my ward.

Which I will gladly unclog, if you let me operate.

Of course, as soon as you pass the tests.

Please consult me on all referrals to the ward, all right?

Please continue.

Tell me, did you have to do those tests, too?

What tests?

Apparently some doctor here operated while on cocaine

and now there are new procedures.

Did Grzelka tell you that?

So there are no new procedures, what a dickhead. I can't believe this.

Welcome to Suwałki. I'm almost done. Wait, I'll show you something.

Just one more minute, Jurek.

Brand new?

Two years old. Almost brand new.

You know there are maybe three of these robots in Poland?

The NHF pays a lot for these procedures.

Grzelka took the exam three times. Maybe he'll pass on the fourth try?

I wanted to pay for my training myself.

But he wouldn't let me.

You should go see him.

You're going to lecture me now?

Your son needs your support right now.

We moved four times.

Because of soccer. Starting over every time.

Because of Mateusz, because of the opportunity.

His sister had to change schools, I had to change jobs.

Because of better clubs, better prospects.

He didn't even come to my mother's funeral.

Because… Arsenal scouts were coming.

I understand that, but…

there is still life outside of soccer.

What fucking life?

You took his life away.

No, ma'am, we saved it. He didn't die.

You could have saved his leg.

I bet…

the NHF pays for amputations, right?

It's a disgrace that people like you become doctors.

I'll be brutally honest with you.

I don't give a shit what you think of me.

But your son just tried to commit suicide out of despair.

And it's up to you more than any doctor whether he tries again.

When Mateusz recovers, we have to transfer him to my ward.

He needs to be under constant psychiatric observation.

Grzelka will be happy, because apparently I clogged up his ward.

Poor Grzelka.

-What do you feel like? -Dawid?

Hi.

I'm sorry, this is Jagoda from psychiatry.

-This is my wife, Basia. -Oh!

Hello.

A pleasure.

From Warsaw to Suwałki. That must be a big change for you.

-What's going on, Dawid? -Excuse me for a moment.

I understand there was a disaster, but you weren't supposed to stay.

Basia… I got a job here.

You're joking.

Basia.

Wait!

Let me explain.

Basia!

Basia!

BASIA CAR

CONNECTION TERMINATED

Seriously?

I know I should have told you earlier.

Yes, I'm an asshole, but…

I was afraid of how you'd react.

What a scared little doctor.

I punched the clinic director.

No one will give me a job in Warsaw now.

Even Broniewski won't help me.

I'm sorry, I really had to.

And that's why you're leaving your family and moving to Suwałki?

Did you plan to tell us? Or disappear without a word?

No, but when this disaster happened…

I know it's a coincidence, but I thought that… maybe it's a sign.

Suddenly, it turned out that they needed me.

It's just a few months. I have to operate.

Otherwise, my fingers will forget it all.

Come with me to Alba.

Let's go there now. It's only 15 minutes from here.

Remember?

The first time we came here?

You were supposed to make us a paradise here.

That offer still stands.

We'll paint it all nicely, hammer it out, cut those weeds and it'll be like new.

You can't paint over everything.

Really?

Are you still going to be mad?

And you pretend like nothing happened?

Something did happen. I just lost my job.

I'm trying to stay afloat and fight for myself.

Yourself. Do you know what Alba reminds me of?

I wrote my PhD thesis here when I was pregnant with Franek.

I had to return to Warsaw because I started getting pains.

-I know. -You don't know shit.

You were at your internship then. You saw Franek a month later.

I had to develop my career so that I could support us later.

The apartment, the cars.

How many years was I your fan, your secretary, your caretaker?

I alone took care of our life.

-I know how much it cost you-- -Now it was supposed to be my turn.

I finally have a chance for a professorship.

-I'm proud of you, but-- -I also want to develop my career.

And it's only possible in Warsaw.

-And Franek has school and friends there. -I get all that, but--

How I fucking love hearing you say "but"!

All right. It's okay.

I'm sorry.

And it's really great that you let that all out… But…

-Oh! -Oh! But…

-We know the situation is fucked up. -Yes, it is fucked up.

But… But it's not so complicated

that the choice is between you or me.

Warsaw is three hours away, tops. We'll figure it out, right?

We'll renovate the kitchen.

We'll take down the paneling.

The table…

I missed you so much.

Give me five minutes.

I'll take a quick shower. Five minutes, I promise.

Who did he operate on just before he was fired?

One moment.

Mikołaj Sadowski.

Application to the bioethics committee to conduct… a medical experiment.

-Where is this committee? -Let me check.

-Should I make an appointment for you? -Why? After all, we like surprises.

I sent you the address.

Basia?

SORRY, BUT I HAD TO

TOMEK: I MISS YOU, WHEN CAN I SEE YOU?

There he is.

-Hello. -What's the occasion?

Good evening!

Hi.

-Hi! -Big guy, check out my chest.

-Sure. -Hey there.

I know I promised you a bottle, but for now you're keeping my ass here.

Zawisza, get the bottle.

Hi, Ada. You look great.

Thank you very much. A whole team worked on that.

Where are your glasses?

Okay then, why don't you come on in?

Happy?

Are you moving in?

-Can I hang this somewhere? -Yes, we're moving in, totally.

There!

-A hook. -I thought she was done for…

Don't pour so much.

And suddenly, get this, he comes out of the flames,

carrying her on his fucking back, like he's fucking Michał Wołodyjowski.

What? No, more like Batman.

Okay, that's enough. Enough.

-Can I have your autograph? -Come on, please…

MEDFRAME SEE THE GENIUS UP CLOSE

Oh, Jesus! Leszek, stop it!

-Are they always like this? -Yeah, makes you actually believe in love.

I used to get sick just looking at them too, but you get used to it.

Speaking of, where did you lose your wife?

Jagoda, don't stick your nose into the doctor's private life.

But I met his wife today. So I'm curious, right?

-I'm not asking for his credit card PIN. -My wife had to go back to Warsaw.

Simple as that.

If I said anything wrong today, then…

No, one shot is a must.

No, I'm good, really.

I like you. For now. Don't fuck it up, okay? Come on.

We want to get you drunk so you'll tell us why you left Warsaw.

Exactly.

Listen, well… I had a fight with the director.

A big one.

About what? Tell us.

No, I won't bore you. It was medical stuff.

Cheers to Mr. Mystery.

-That's right. Finally. -Cheers.

Okay, Zawisza, play my song!

You promised my song.

Coming right up, honey.

-Okay. Autograph. -Stop bugging me about…

-Please! -Sign it for the girl.

-Łazarz, fucking sign it already. -Sign it. What's the big deal?

I kissed a girl for the first time in my life to this song.

God, poor girl.

Will you hang it over your bed?

Zawisza, stop singing, shut up.

This is good. Keep singing.

Oh, please!

Hello.

Hello.

You can't go in! The boss is busy.

Of course.

Jan Kozieł, prosecutor. Hello.

I know who you are, but we don't have an appointment.

No, we don't. You know, justice doesn't have time for formalities.

But I see you ladies are having a break, so it works out well, doesn't it?

How can I help?

I'm interested in the bioethics committee applications

by the NeuroHelp clinic.

At the moment, we have ten.

In the last quarter, two were approved. We rejected three.

Any applications from Dr. Dawid Łazarz?

I see two applications that have not yet been processed.

The committee is meeting next week.

I'd like a printout.

What a good day, am I right?

You finally managed to do something useful.

I'll see you.

You were looking for me. What's going on?

Doctor, she isn't saying anything. She just lies there.

But is she not talking to you, or to anyone?

-Hello. -Hello, Doctor.

No, not at all.

Hello, Maria. How are we feeling?

Maria, can you hear me?

Squeeze my hand.

Squeeze it, Maria.

Hello?

-Did she get a CT scan yesterday? -No.

No?

Okay, Maria, we're taking you.

Here, here.

What are you doing?

Taking her. I ordered a CT scan. Why didn't anyone do it?

-I'm not the one who sets the schedule. -Who does?

Head Physician Grzelka.

I don't give a shit about fucking Grzelka, because she could die any minute.

But…

What is this?

Seen anything like it?

It could burst at any minute. We're taking her to the operating room.

Marysia…

Sławek, you're here. That's good…

She doesn't recognize me, Sławek is her brother.

Wait here, you can't go in there.

OPERATING ROOMS

It's tight as a drum.

It's going to burst any minute. Increase the venous blood outflow.

Hyperventilate and give her mannitol. Quickly.

On it.

Okay. Scalpel, tweezers.

May I?

Thanks.

Suction.

Small swab, please.

Scissors.

One more centimeter, but be careful around the sinus.

Very good.

We made it just in time.

Oh, fuck. That's a big cyst.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have an echinococcus.

My first parasite. I think I'll put it on my resume.

Better hold your breath.

If it bursts, the larvae will infect the whole brain.

Saline.

Careful.

Gently.

Syringe.

Slowly.

We're in the home stretch.

You're really good, you're wasted on this place.

That makes two of us.

Do you know what you've done?

I saved the patient's life.

You operated without your superior's consent.

Really? That's the problem here?

Are you going to hit me too?

No. I don't fight the weak.

There's no place for you in my ward!
