Original subtitles

Your child has likely contracted polio.

Poliomyelitis.

* He gasps. * He cannot breathe.

We need the iron lung! The iron lung, quick!

We have a patient with a suspected gastric ulcer.

It's a tumor.

Gastric cancer? Yes.

We have to diagnose the cancer sooner.

This is the only way we have a chance to heal it.

Stop waging war on cancer in private . He is stronger.

You’ll make mom well again, right?

Ella Wendt Prof. Dr. Otto Prokop

(News anchor) So it would still be unclear

why President Kennedy would whiten the atmosphere

if he was aware of it

what a war with thermonuclear weapons means.

A third world war, if it should break out

do not limit yourself to a duel

exclusively between the two great powers,

the Soviet Union and the United States of America,

so head of state Nikita Khrushchev continues.

Good morning, Prof. Rapoport. - Good Morning.

Something's brewing, right?

Yes, you can say that.

But I am sure that Ulbricht and Khrushchev

still have an ace up their sleeve against the warmongers.

Well, let's hope so, Professor. Are the children doing well?

Oh yeah. At least no complaints from Eisenach.

Oh yes, summer camp.

Those were the times, eh?

(Rapoport) Caution!

Oh no.

Dr. Senkaxe, sorry.

Stay inside. Look after the kids. - We are sorry.

Almost nothing happened. For real. That's fine.

Are the children okay? Yes the kids are fine.

Where do you want to go?

Man, Senkaxe, you are not serious!

This is also about my family.

And my future. I don't see them here anymore.

I don't believe that. I never thought you'd be one of those.

I'm sorry.

He's running away.

He just runs away.

Yes, how many more? God dammit!

* Door knock *

A beautiful good morning.

(Sister) good morning. - All the little birds good in the nest?

Sister Petra, nice hairstyle. - What hairstyle?

I don't even have time to wash my hair anymore .

(Gerda) You say that so simply.

We probably don't have a senior physician anymore.

Dr. Senkbeil has left the premises with everything.

Not that too.

What should you do when the golden west beckons?

What do we do without a senior doctor?

Hold together, Dr. Nowack.

Prove to the party that the Charite stands for this state.

No further departures.

Who's gone now?

Then we'll just continue without a senior doctor. Nothing helps.

We have now learned to improvise .

Sister, where is Dr. Wendt?

Well, where? - Keep up.

* Door knock *

Head nurse Gerda, for the 27th time: I'm only on duty after noon.

Little tip, doctor:

In a clinch with the ward nurse, you usually lose out.

The nerves are bare anyway. Why?

What is it this time? Scabbard. He left.

Not serious. Mmm.

The rats leave the sinking ship.

* Dark string music *

Good morning, Professor. Good Morning.

Mhm.

Breathe deeply into your stomach.

Yes. Calm, calm. Take it easy. Take it easy.

So, just a moment. I hear.

Labor went into labor around three thirty this morning .

Stethoscope.

Take it easy. Deep in the stomach. That's okay.

The cervix is ​​not yet ...

And.

I therefore advocate a cesarean section. The OP has already been informed.

Nonsense.

Ms. Rösler, my name is Helmut Kraatz.

Your child's heartbeat is not a cause for concern.

We don't need a caesarean section.

We'll save the risk, huh?

We sit out.

* Calm piano music *

* Compressed air escapes. *

Good Morning. Good Morning.

I am late. Sorry.

Your values ​​have improved a lot.

I also read a lot. Very nice.

Look what I brought you.

Thanks. From my son.

Thanks. What is the temperature?

(Arianna) 36.7. Wonderful.

Inconspicuous.

Give me your hand, Werner.

So, now squeeze hard. Can it get any tighter?

And now move your leg. This one here.

Mmm. And the other?

Wonderful.

I think we can dare.

What if that doesn't work?

He has to breathe independently as quickly as possible .

His values ​​are stable.

There is no reason to leave him in the Iron Lung.

Mom, I want out of there.

(Bruncken) Nothing to complain about. The wounds heal well.

You have magical hands. I saw that right away.

This is just a matter of practice.

Can something grow back from the stomach cancer?

This can be at this point in time not tell.

We have to wait for the follow-up examination.

Now we all hope for the best together .

Do you just regain your strength? I can do that best at home.

Then relax with your family.

All the best.

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

You learned that in elementary school.

Think about dinner with your wife.

The table is reserved for 6 p.m.

You are an angel, Frau Dammrau. Many Thanks.

Watch out for the lungs.

We have to take good pieces out of that.

Come on, be careful.

Good morning, Captain. - Ms. Dammrau.

Hertweck. Is the criminal investigation back?

The pleasure is mine.

As always, I am not bothering you voluntarily.

I have a new case.

Do you want to go out to eat with my wife?

But your wife wants to spend time with you , not me.

It takes longer. Maybe postpone it until tomorrow.

Do it. You are more diplomatic than me.

Let's start right away. Wittenberg.

Where did you find it? In the forest?

In the Blumenthal near Prötzel. By a hunter.

Could she have fallen? Not according to the hat brim rule.

Thanks.

Everything that hits the skull above this imaginary line,

usually does not come from a fall,

but from a conspecific.

In aliis verbis: a blow with a blunt object.

Maybe a stone. Murder.

(Wittenberg) According to the laboratory results , the deceased had

Sexual intercourse shortly before her death.

Not consensual on the impression .

* Key clinkers *

Ah. * Laughs. *

There look. Come closer.

Look. Do you dread? Do you want a Speibsackerl?

Wittenberg. Ruler. Light.

A bite? Animal feed?

You know the expression "like someone to eat".

Homo homini lupus est. Man is a wolf to man.

So, Werner. We're turning off the iron lung now, okay?

That 'll feel weird at first

because you are not used to breathing alone

because the machine did that.

You get air from us, but still try hard to breathe.

We help you. Everything will be fine, Werner.

And air. And pavement, switch off.

Flap open.

Very good. You make a good job.

Great, and then I'll try to help you

that your head can get through

The air goes away for a moment. Do not worry.

We'll be right back on the other side.

All good, all good.

Very good, and come up.

Take it easy. Take it easy. Air comes. Air comes. Just like that.

That's okay. I breathe with you

Chest rises and falls.

Well. That's okay. Very good.

Now I'll carry you on the bed with your papa.

That helps me. All good. Over there comes air again.

And one, two, three.

Take it easy. Air comes.

That's okay. Take it easy. Breathe very calmly.

I agree. That's okay. Breathe very calmly. Very good.

* Soulful piano music *

I would like to take another look at your blood .

I'm sure somewhere in the blood

there is a way to recognize cancer.

And the sooner we see him, the better we can help.

Ah. It's still nice and red, the blood.

Done. That's it.

Well then.

Good luck with everything you plan to do with it.

Thanks.

Do you pack your things together. We want to go slowly then.

(whispers) Exactly. Just in there.

This is for you. This is mom, me and you.

Because you saved mom.

* Mysterious piano music *

Thanks.

All the best.

So. Will you take my bag? - Yes.

(Woman) Papa is waiting downstairs.

Let's try it without.

Keep breathing. Exactly, very well. I agree. Look at me.

Let's sit down together.

Very slowly. I agree.

Is good. We can do it. Go to your wife.

Are you dizzy? A little bit.

This is not a wonder.

So, try very carefully to put your feet on the ground.

One. Now let's feel the ground a bit.

Very cold.

Now let's try to get up.

But i am there. I wo n't let you go No fear.

Very good. Well.

Do we want to put our right foot forward a bit?

I agree. So. And now:

And the right one.

And look, there is mom and dad.

Now we are walking very slowly towards them.

Now one foot and the right foot.

And right and left.

Very good. (Mr. Simoneit) Great.

You make a good job.

So. And now you run alone.

Look here.

I agree. You can do it. You can do it.

* Hopeful music *

Great, Werner.

* Kiss * Great.

* Mrs. Simoneit sobs. *

Well done my dearest.

* Baby crying *

Congratulations, Ms. Rösler.

You did well.

Thank you, Professor. - Professor.

Yes? You're welcome.

One moment.

(Sister) The little one is yellowish.

Yes I see. Unusual so soon after giving birth.

Notify neonatology.

We'll have them brought over.

Shouldn't we just watch it? No, we shouldn't.

What about her? Signs of mild jaundice.

Jaundice is not uncommon in newborns .

But usually does not occur at birth,

but one to three days afterwards.

That's why I want to control it.

* Quiet music *

I'll tell your mom tomorrow that you can go home.

The files for the next shift.

The medication for the asthmatic has changed.

Mmm. Is there anything else?

Gynecology announced an infant with jaundice.

And they're not here yet? Did you call?

Nobody answers. Try again.

* Mermaid *

* Exciting music *

(Arianna) What's taking so long? Did you have a flat tire?

(Man) That was the shortest route.

The mucous membranes are already completely yellow.

Get the mother's findings. Also for hepatitis?

Yes. Maybe she doesn't even know she's infected.

* Baby is crying. *

* Baby is crying. *

I've reached the station nurse.

Prof. Kraatz is on a visit.

What does this mean? Nobody can read the file?

The bilirubin is at 25.

That's way too high. The child must immediately be under the flashing light.

I don't risk kerniccterus with disabilities

because I have no information about the mother.

Please take care of the eyes.

The light is poison for his retina.

OK. I'll be right back (Arianna) But where are you going?

If the prophet doesn't come to the mountain ... Keep taking the values.

(Woman) Good afternoon, gentlemen.

* Exciting music *

* Mermaid *

Falk and Vossler also asked to terminate their contract.

My job from the party is to stop that.

Is that my business?

Talk to the staff on your ward.

Should I make political speeches?

You should convince your workforce

that the Charite is still the best address.

* Dramatic music *

My dear Mr. Lehmann,

I convince with my professional competence.

I think my employees appreciate that. And if not...

Then I cannot and would not change anything.

I have let politics instrumentalize me before .

And I wo n't make that mistake again.

* Door knock *

Professor Kraatz, I have to speak to you.

Well, if you ask me so kindly.

Comrade Lehmann.

The child you gave us.

Yeah how is he Bad.

Hopefully the phototherapy will work.

I have to speak to the mother.

Lies on the ward. Suspected hepatitis?

No. Is she sure first-time?

So in all humility

i can have the body of a multiple mother

differ from a primiparous woman .

Come?

Ms. Rösler, we need to know whether your child is under

suffers from a blood group incompatibility .

I do not know that. You are the doctors.

That's right, but you can help find out.

You see, only when we narrow down the causes of the jaundice

we can initiate the appropriate treatment .

This intolerance is only possible

if it is not your first child.

But you said ... Of course this is my first child.

What shoud that? I do not understand.

You've been pregnant before, right?

Was it a toilet?

Internal injuries can occur during an abortion .

This will cause your blood to mix with that of the fetus.

This creates antibodies.

And these lead to your child

that red blood cells are broken down.

Hence the jaundice.

And now?

I need to speak to my husband.

Surely it is possible, right? Naturally.

He's on a business trip in Hamburg.

I'll take care of your child now .

I would have needed the information about the abortion earlier.

If the patient gives false information , my hands are tied.

At least occupy your telephone station.

Then I'll save the trip to your island paradise.

My clinic is as well staffed as it can be these days.

And it is not your place to be so wrong in tone.

Or close your patient on admission

to a polygraph?

Keep me updated on the child's condition .

I think you can find your way back.

My recommendation.

* Soulful piano music *

Here you are.

Have we made too many promises to Ms. Jasinski ?

Why take hope if we haven't given up on it?

Because they're empty promises.

Is it worth the night shifts in the laboratory at least?

Procopius was right. Unfortunately.

The number with the blood group characteristics,

that was utter nonsense.

Can we talk about something else?

It's a shame about the sedge.

He brought me to the Charite.

He had a pretty good job here, right?

As a doctor, yes. Politically...

On me.

But this is not about politics.

* Laughs. * No.

Oh God. Um. Damn.

Well, I already have.

Oh, there they are again, the magic hands.

After 24 hours of service, yes.

It's always about politics.

Did you hear the news this morning ?

When you hear the weirdo Khrushchev talk about the war.

They are bloodsuckers.

Bloodsuckers.

Naturally. I have to go to them. Bloodsuckers.

Not blood types.

(Man on TV) "The flow of refugees from the GDR

in the west of our country there is no end.

The emergency reception center on Marienfelder Allee

records thousands of new refugees again. "

Yes, enjoy your training with us and then thin yourself.

(Gerda) My neighbor does it smarter.

Comes from the west, earns three times as much over there

and pays an apple and an egg for his apartment with us .

" Long queues form in front of the stations."

Head Nurse Gerda?

I need your help. Would you come with me for a minute?

It doesn't take long either. Do not worry.

I'm already closed.

You're welcome.

"Special offers attract many to the city's department stores.

It should remain summery mild for the next few days ,

before it cools down significantly at the weekend .

So much for the news. "

The bigger your stomach, the better the translations.

Seems to be a smart guy .

Will be a girl for sure.

The food above is slowly overcooked, by the way.

I'm almost done. * Door knock *

Hertweck, you smoke too much. Good evening.

Madam. Professor.

The clearance between the second premolars 15 and 25

of the upper jaw is 28 millimeters.

From this we can refer to an adult representative

close to the genus Homo sapiens sapiens .

No animal feed. Indeed...

The central incisors, one one and two one, are missing.

Very strange.

A unique bit.

The perpetrator bit where the tissue is particularly soft.

A connoisseur of anatomy.

Or someone with experience.

Passau, Constance, Leipzig.

These are only cases that I was able to locate quickly.

Young women, all blond and slim,

raped, slain and dumped in the forest.

I don't read anything about bite marks. Look at the pictures.

Bad. Too little light, bad angles of incidence.

They could be from Wittenberg.

Are the corpses cremated yet?

Yes. Unfortunately.

I have a feeling: We're dealing with a serial killer here.

Honor your feeling.

For me, facts, facts, facts count .

That was demonstrated.

Would you mind?

I would try sleeping.

Then the blood values ​​are also better.

I see. My blood values ​​are fine.

Then why do you need them?

Because I need comparison samples.

Healthy blood, sick blood.

It's not that easy.

Well, actually yes, but ...

Then you can just explain it to old Gerda.

Gut.

So then just introduce yourself ...

This countertop is a bloodstream, right?

So. And then that glove would be a red blood cell.

Cancer cells.

We know they can be there.

I'm sure we can find her

but we cannot measure it.

Their number and therefore the risk that they pose.

But we want that. And early on.

And now be careful.

With the increased destruction of red blood cells

the blood pigment it contains is released:

Hemoglobin. And can it be measured?

Not quite yet.

But this can be measured: haptoglobin.

This is a so-called transport protein for hemoglobin.

I have the haptoglobin level

determined in the blood serum of the patient Jasinski.

And now hold on tight:

It exceeds the norm value by more than twice.

Does that mean it is not cured?

No, you can't say that like that.

For now, that's just a theory.

But I think...

Under one condition:

When you've done a blood test, call it a day.

I ca n't use you on the ward when you are overtired .

Naturally.

Yes, wake up, exactly. Nice solid drink.

Not sleep. Have a drink.

Come on. Come on.

What did Prof. Kraatz mean? You don't want to know.

The bilirubin levels have fallen. You are at 20.

They have to go down further. We need to stimulate the intestines.

So now have a drink, my little one, come on.

Come on, I'll take over.

Nah, I'm staying here for the night.

Isn't it your birthday today?

All the best. Thanks.

Relax.

(Arianna) One, two, three. One two Three.

You have to keep up.

Turn now.

Wrong direction. - Oh no.

One two Three. One two...

Un, dos, tres. One two Three.

One two Three. Dance on and on.

One two...

* Laughter and music *

(Arianna) You have to keep up.

Oh hello Ella. Maybe you like a piece of cake?

Um. No Thanks.

What is this going to be? I...

Didn't see the invitation?

To Arianna.

Oh. I see. Congratulations.

I wanted to sleep, but it doesn't matter. Have fun.

(Sister) She goes to the cellar to laugh.

How do you keep up with that?

Well, girls, cheers.

(alle) Cheers.

* Dark music *

(Soldier) All calm.

Good evening, doctor. Good evening.

Do you have one for me too?

Sorry, you just slipped out of my mind.

Thanks.

Ella, right?

May I ask why you ditched me earlier?

Oh, ah.

I had a brainstorm and I had to investigate.

The bloodsucker's flash of inspiration? Mmm.

These are my only friends here right now.

The haptoglobin value of our patient Jasinski

is much higher than mine.

What.

You have to stay tuned. Yes.

But for that I need blood, a lot of blood.

Procut Blutdepot.

I agree.

But there is the problem.

I can't just sneak in there at night

like such a vampire to expand my research radius.

Well, you as Countess Dracula

that would be an interesting idea.

Hm. Mhm.

No thanks. I don't have to go to Transylvania.

No wanderlust?

I actually feel very comfortable here right now.

As a little boy I always wanted to travel to the moon.

A Nazi is building a rocket in the United States .

Did you know that? No.

On me.

The train has probably left for good .

It might also be a bit far to the moon.

I have never left this country . You?

When the wanderlust gets really bad

I withdraw to the roof of House B.

And then I'm at least a little closer.

And a little further away from all of this.

You know what? Go to Procopius, Ella.

Well worth a try, right?

I have never seen anyone fight so hard for their cause as you.

Good night.

He disgusted me like a little child.

You should have seen him. Such a vain rooster.

No, nothing else is new. No.

(Soldier) dismount. Go Go go.

Have you heard from the kids? Did they write?

Oh good. That's nice.

Did you see? - Thanks.

It's good when Lisa gets out a little bit.

I'm happy.

Yes? Doctor?

I'll get back to you, yes? See you later.

The values ​​have skyrocketed. Out of nowhere.

We need a transfusion. I'll get canned food.

No. We need fresh blood. The mother?

Is not the right blood type. We need zero negative.

There are cops down there. Ask you times please where to.

* Exciting music *

Captain Hertweck. What are you doing here?

Professor. He struck again , the walker.

The walker? Is that what you called him?

You are creative. You should hire the press.

Vienna Waldviertel. Vienna Waldviertel.

Our colleagues from Austria sent us these pictures.

Awful.

(Hertweck) Bite wound on the inside of the arm.

I was right. The walker is a serial killer.

I want to see the body myself.

Tell Prof. Breitenecker

from Viennese forensic medicine, I'm coming.

May I remind you of your dinner with your wife? Today.

I need a blood donor. Zero negative.

Immediately.

There is a child dying. Not two days old.

Two days. You're welcome.

Volunteers before. Zero negative.

I have zero negative. - Come with me.

I always take small amounts from the baby's umbilical vein.

And let the same amount of blood flow back from you.

So.

* Baby is crying. *

If you get dizzy, let me know, will you ?

He has to be back in two hours.

Well, we should do it.

You made it soon.

My lectures are canceled.

Keep the institute in good shape. (Wittenberg) Yes.

Take decent photos of the bodies.

I've shown you how to do it a hundred times .

Necessarily. But the lectures have long been booked out.

Nothing helps. It all comes along.

Yes? Good day.

Wendt. Ella Wendt.

I remember darkly.

I've read your articles. Yes, congratulations.

And I did my homework.

And I kept looking. Haptoglobin.

I agree. But not as an acute phase protein, but as ...

As a transport protein for hemoglobin. I can read myself.

It may be my late mother

is the wrong drive for my research.

But I think about her every single damn day.

And there is a girl about to lose her mother.

Because we don't decipher blood. We?

Yes, I came this far on my own, but ...

I need your help now.

I need comparative samples from your blood bank,

to support my hypothesis, to build it and ...

They say that you are only that good

like the people around you.

(stammering) And I'm going to decipher this damn blood.

Will you help me?

You're welcome. I need access to your blood bank.

Your thesis is interesting. Nothing more, nothing less.

Wittenberg, give the lady twenty blood samples from the depot.

That'll be enough for now. Thanks.

You have to report back to me. Many Thanks.

Then we'll see how we can work together.

And if. Look again.

(TV) "On the occasion of the arrival of the 17,000th refugee this month

said Willy Brandt today

a speech at the German SPD meeting,

in which he met people's increasing fear

in the German Democratic Republic.

The people of the zone would be afraid

that the meshes of the iron curtain are cemented. "

I had to replace the center bearings from the cardan shaft .

It is for free. Fritz, you are an artist.

A true artist.

Tonight there will be schnitzel in Vienna, I promise.

By the way, your passport expires.

Everything is renewed on the occasion.

Such a real, real Wiener Schnitzel,

I would like that too.

Have a good trip, Professor.

(TV) "Out of fear, in a gigantic prison

to be locked in

many left the country, Brandt continued in his speech. "

So. Now it's done.

Press firmly. - Mmm.

So.

(Arianna) What's the casserole?

Unfortunately I can't talk about it.

Oh come on Do you want to march in over there or what?

We protect the population. - Mmm.

Well then, protect yourself. Goodbye

Many Thanks. Bye.

* Baby is crying. * Yes, that's good.

Responds well. Especially in time.

Thank you, doctor.

But smell alcohol again on duty ...

Then that has an aftermath. I promise you.

What? Pst.

Have fun with it.

Thanks.

* Dreamy Music *

* Menacing music *

She did it.

I am so sorry.

* Dreamy Music *

* Music continues. *

Did you get in touch with your husband?

You can call him anytime.

Thanks, I was able to speak to him.

Nice. Then he'll be there soon.

With his little family.

It's not that easy right now .

Please come to the end.

It's just before midnight. Come again tomorrow.

Nobody will take your space away for the time being.

How's it going?

Well. It looks good.

Thanks.

Goodbye Good night.

* Dark music *

From now on, the blood reserves must be available at all times.

It's nice for you here.

Ah. Wait wait.

Come over.

Is the cancer history?

Was a damn good day today.

We toast to that.

* Dark music *

So from here you can fly to the moon, yeah?

You can fly anywhere from here .

Mhm.

Where do we want to go?

Um ... where did you always want to go?

Cuba. Cuba?

Come here.

Follow me. That way.

A little more, a little more, a little more. And stop.

And now you close your eyes.

Close your eyes. Trust me. It works.

Well. Eyes closed.

Now you will be easy as a feather.

What is there to laugh about? You can fly. Did you know that?

Isn't it yours, huh?

So, let go, give up control?

Curt, stop talking nonsense.

I don't want to fly. No, no, no. Trust me.

Look there. Close your eyes.

You will not regret it. Promised.

Eyes closed.

And now...

Now you take off from the roof.

Up in the air, and the Charite down there.

The Charite is getting smaller and smaller under you.

And from here you just keep flying west.

Thats is quite easy.

Because there are no limits up here.

Down there. Are you looking?

Do you see the lights?

That's already Brussels.

Do you feel the wind

Can you taste the salt water on your tongue?

The Atlantic.

The sea rushes below you.

A few stray seagulls are buzzing next to you .

And since.

The Bahamas.

Because.

* Engine started. *

(Soldier) The barrier has to go further.

What's this?

(Soldier) The wire around the anti-tank traps.

What are they doing? There is no such thing.

(Soldier) Connect them with the barbed wire. Over here.

(Bruncken) That doesn't exist.

They close.

They close the sector border. That can not be real.

(Soldier) Hurry up. About that.

Stop! Curt.

Stop it! Curt, stop it.

Lock up your own people! Pst. Stop it now.

Hands off our city! Get off the roof. Come over.

You stupid pigs! Get off the roof!

Curt, come!

* Dramatic music *

Strangers on the roof. Search buildings.

More quickly!
