Come to dinner.

Come on, Mirandolina, eat that.

You don't like it?

Go on, eat. That's all I have.

So miss,
I�ve got a headache.

For about 4 days now
I�ve had a headache and I throw up.

But I don't think it's
From the stomach.

No...

Aspirin, Algocalmin,,,

Extraveral and Distonocalm

No, I can't really.
I�ve just told you I�ve got a headache.

Yeah, I drink,
Like any other man.

I had a little drink today, too...

Not quite so, miss,
It�s not like I�d drink any crap.

Going on 63.

2 Fetesti Street.

Building F4.

Yeah, 2nd floor, flat 17.

Lasarescu Dante Remus.

Lasarescu Dante Remus.

Yes, I�m home.

Thank you and
I wish you good night.

In the sea there are
only predatory fish

You can use polenta for small fish

But here, big fish eat small ones,

They're all on meat,

Polenta doesn't really
work in the sea

It is the wrong kind of bait,

"Well, " he said,
"I'm here for the salty air,, "

The air, is fine, but if you don't
catch anything votes I mean,

We didn't get any clear message

Look Ciuhandu
is an honorable character,,,,

flawless speech, serious,

You'd expect him to rally
the people from Timisoara,,,

and get at least 90% of the votes,

Timisoara turned out rather poor,,

Hello, miss. it's me again.

Yes, the ambulance.

it's me again, Lasarescu.

Then tell
the colleague I spoke with...

I had ulcer surgery 14 years ago...

and I also have a leg ulcer...

but no big deal.

I�ve been thinking this headache
might be from the stomach.

Lasarescu.

2 Fetesti.

Okay, I got that.

I don't think it's serious but
I�d rather get a specialist's opinion.

Thank you
and I�ll be waiting for you.

My surgery is hurting, cat face.

You don't care, you bloody animal.

Compote.

How are you doing, Nusu?

And you...

the little one.

Where have you been
wandering all day?

You dog-cat.

Sit here nicely, dog-cat.

Fuck off.

Just fucking shut.

Kitty.

Where are you going?

Madam de Pompadour.

incoherent.

Five, four...

five, three...

is this the Muscaiu residence
Virgil?

Hi, Virgil. How are you doing?

is Eva there?

Hold on man, I haven't forgotten.
That's why I�m calling.

You, my sister. Whatever.

Hello, Virgil, Virgil.

I sent the money by post today...

and you'll have it tomorrow.

Then next time I get my pension,
I�ll just send it all to you.

That's better, isn't it?

Say, can you put Eva on the phone?

Well I said I�d send it
by the 1st and I did.

Now can I speak with Eva?
Please.

I�ll wait, of course.
I�m not gonna run off.

Hey sis, how are you?

That's just what I wanted
to talk with you about.

Why didn't you tell me
you spoke with Bianca?

Sure, you told me after I asked you.

You know very well I�m right.

Since she only calls you...

I know damn well
that she calls you more often.

Listen...

I don't feel that well
with my ulcer.

What's all this talk
about the drinking?

You don't get ulcers from alcohol.

I�m sorry, but I drink
at my own expense.

Do you hear me Eva,
I drink at my own expense.

You get ulcers from helico bacteria.

See, you're learning new things.

No Eva, I have no idea.

I had this surgery 14 years ago
and I haven't got a clue.

Luckily you do.

Good thing you intellectuals
know better than the doctors.

Yeah, alright.

I�m asking you nicely
to stop lecturing me.

Do you hear me, Eva?
Stop lecturing and nagging me.

You wouldn't like it either.

I don't know.

Eva, maybe you don't want
to speak with me anymore.

I noticed that only Virgil
answers the phone lately.

Okay, we'll do it the way you want.

Thank you.

And thank your sweet husband
for the money.

Fine, then leave me with my ulcer...

and keep on talking to Bianca...

gossiping about my drinking.

Okay, but in the end,
I drink at my own expense.

Do you hear me, Eva?
I drink at my own expense.

Goodbye.

Cheerio Yes, cheerio.

Gracefully yours.

Yes.

- My respects, ma'am.
- What is it?

You left with the oven mitts

Just a second.

Where on the balcony?
Hi, Romica.

- Where should I put it?
- On the balcony,,

On the balcony,,
on the tiles by the plant,,

- Good evening.
- Evening, dear.

Smaranda, tie your shoelaces, please,

What's wrong,
aren't you feeling quite well?

I beg your pardon, Mrs. Mihaela.
I�ve just called the ambulance...

but until it arrives could you lend me a Distonocalm?

I�ll have a look,
but I don't think we got any.

But if you've been drinking
your headache is from the alcohol.

You drank, 'cause you smell.

Ma'am, please.

Be so kind as to have a look.
I�ll pay for them.

Let's be serious.
it's not about the money.

I got this headache at the temple
before drinking.

We don't have strong painkillers
'cause we don't buy such things.

And if we don't buy any...

I�ll go and look for a distonocalm.

What's up, Romica?

Stomach again
or has it moved to the pancreas?

Stop drinking, Romica.

Let go of the fucking bottle.

Stop drinking
or you're going down.

I threw up 4 times today,
from the aspirin.

I don't think
I can stand it any longer.

What can I bring you?
Metoclopramide...

or cabbage juice

I called the ambiance
and I was thinking of taking a pill.

An ambulance on a Saturday?
You think they will bother?

Screw them.

They're ripping us off
since they raised medicine prices.

What you need is rest, buddy.
Schlafen and cabbage juice.

Relax or it won't go away.

- it hurts, Sandu.
- Don't be stubborn.

Like I said, I didn't find Distonocalm
but I brought you Diclofenac

But I have Diclofenac

I don't know what to say.

- I�ll give you one right now.
- What do you know?

it isn't good for ulcers.
Check this out.

We only buy homeopathic
for ourselves.

So, do you need this?

I�m not sure, I wanted a Distonocalm

And you give him Diclofenac when
the man's been puking since morning.

I didn't know.
I�ll go get Metrocropmide right away.

He should have said it was nausea.

When I�m hung over, I just rub
my arms and I�m back to normal.

What's she doing?

Miki!

What?

Are you trying to set us on fire?

Wait, don't turn it off,,

Turn it down and leave it,

Come on, it didn't get burned,

Thanks for your help!
What would I do without you?

Look at this burn. Fucking pan.

Are you gonna get those pills?

So, Romica, note the following.

First...

drinking causes the nausea
and it's bad for your stomach.

And second...

you don't drink the right way,
you're mixing drinks.

Stop mixing.

Gee, you stink.

Have you been
drinking rat poison?

Are you giving me them, or what?

They're not good for your ulcer.

Only after you eat.

- How are you doing, boy?
- Good evening.

Robert, tell your dad I need that drill
if he's finished with it.

Tell him to bring it down,
'cause I need the fucking thing.

- Okay, I�ll tell him.
- Don't forget.

Great, I have to ask
for my own things.

So, Romica.
One for now...

and the other one
with your morning coffee.

But first, take a hot bath, eat,
and then take the pill.

Get in the tub and make sure it's hot,
otherwise it's useless.

Come on, upsydaisy.

You have to move
to sweat off the alcohol.

I was feeling well
and now I�m feeing ill.

Let's take you to bed.

I had this stomach ache from my ulcer
and now I have a headache too.

Now I have a headache
and a stomach ache.

Easy, buddy.
Let me get you inside, to lie down.

Wait, easy now.

- I can manage.
- Sure you can.

Inattention strikes again
on Romanian roads,

While on HW 1,,,

a truck driver fell asleep,,

crossing over
to the other side of the road,,,

hitting a tourist bus near Saftica,

The collision triggered
a series of crashes,

So far, 7 people are reported dead
and 29 seriously injured,

- Do you want to watch?
- No.

Listen.

How long does it take for
a money order to get to Targu-Mures?

I don't know, a few days.

At the post office, they told me
it would be there tomorrow.

No way. Tomorrow is Sunday.

True.

I wasn't thinking.

You should lie down and sleep.

I can't sleep.
I�m not sleepy.

What is she doing with that pill,
making it?

Oh dear,,
the smell of cat hair in here,

Not asleep yet, Mr. Engineer?

Give me your glasses.

Yes, that way he won't break them.

Can you get us a glass of water now?

Look at this and they're all as dirty.

Should I bring one of ours?

And what else?

Just pour some water
so we can give him the pill.

My, you're slow.
You should be sent to fetch Death.

You know what they say...

"Mascara doesn't help you
if you don't know how to speak.

Doesn't help
if you have no manners."

I think the pain is from the aspirin.

Do you like quince jelly?

I feel kind of feeble.

Aren't you better lying down?

After a good sleep,
you'll be as good as new.

Move over just a bit.

Look at your "nothing".

What do you mean?

You said my finger was alright.

Have a closer look.
Don't act like I wasn't burned.

it's swollen,
don't pretend you can't see.

Yes, it seems a bit swollen.

Come on, get up.

You should finish what you start.

You can't just leave a pan
and go away.

Look, I ruined my fingers
and the jelly is burned.

No, it's not.
I�ve tasted it.

Come on, get up.
This is for nausea.

Stick your tongue out.

But he can't take Diclofenac
on an empty stomach.

- He should eat first.
- What are you doing?

Spare us your kindness.

Let him swallow his pill.

You won't feel
the effect right away.

But in about 20 minutes
it will disappear.

Take this glass to the kitchen...

and go check on that pot,
so we won't have anymore surprises.

Don't worry,
I turned down the heat.

Why don't you get rid of these cats?

Why don't you get rid of Miki?

- What?
- Get rid of your wife.

is it the same thing?

I don't know, is it the same thing?

These cats are gonna kill you
with their hair and their fleas.

Mark my words.
We'll see who was right in the end.

You're nice and cozy
now that you've found a fool.

They sleep all day
and leave hair everywhere.

Look how it stinks in here.

Should I bring him a bit of moussaka?

There's nothing in his fridge.

No, Mrs. Mihaeia, please don't.
I�m not eating.

it's very tasty.
I made it with pork not with beef.

What is it, Miki?
What do you want?

Shouldn�t he take that pill?

And he has nothing to eat
except a piece of bread.

So?

I thought of bringing moussaka...

so he won't take the pill
on an empty stomach.

Miki, will you go watch that jelly?

Alright.

See what happens if I let her talk?

And these newspapers...

Why don't you bin them and clean up.
All this paper just gathers dust.

Romica...

this is not good.

We should call the ambulance.
Look, you threw up blood threads.

Hold on.

Come on, quick.

Look. Exactly like mine
when I had that Malory-Weiss disease.

But yours had more blood in it.

And there were bits of sausage.

- This is more watery.
- it's bile from the stomach.

You stained your slippers.

I'll go wash them.

What is it?

We should call an ambulance.

He's already called the ambulance.

You called it, haven't you?

I know that.

But don't you know
it takes them forever to get here?

Romica, where's that phone?

it's in the kitchen.

Malory-Weiss
sounds worse than it really is.

Don't worry.

- it's the ulcer Mrs. Mihaeia.
- What?

it's from the ulcer.

Sure, Sandu had an endoscopy
and he was cauterized.

Yes, he's my next door neighbor,,

About 60, actually over 60,
'cause he's older than me,

So, he has a headache,,,

and he keeps throwing up blood,

Yes, that's right, he drinks a bit,,

I keep telling him not to,,,

They should be here any minute.
The ambiance.

Come on.

Take a hike, you've slept enough.

Go and see who's ringing.

Don't be afraid of Maiory-Weiss.
it's no big deal.

They will cauterize it
with an endoscope.

But you had endoscopy
for your ulcer, didn't you?

The pain is moving about.
The ulcer.

it's Mr. Geiu,
he brought your drill.

How you doing Romica?
The room spinning?

Don't laugh, it's not funny.

He threw up blood threads.

Means it's serious?

it means what it means.

We talking hospital?

No, we're talking carnival.

it's serious.
We called the ambiance.

is it in one piece?

Great, thanks for trusting me.

I thought I wouldn�t see it again...

that you'd sold it
at the flea market.

Take it and put it on my desk.

You stay here with Mr. Lasarescu.
I have to pour the jelly into jars.

Say, are we still on
for the booze trip?

I spoke to the guy,
he's there next Saturday.

We leave in the morning
and we'll be back by evening.

What about the double gazing?

You're still getting them?

Don't think so.
Maybe next spring.

So what's it gonna be?

Let me pass,
I have to go to the bathroom.

Can you manage?

Look at him go.

Tell the ambulance not to bother.

Lasarescu is
"men sana in corpore sana".

I told the guy
to save some white and some red.

Grasa and Cabernet.

I don't know,
I�m short on cash.

it's 1 00 kilos, 50 and 50.

I don't know,
I spent a lot on potatoes and pickles.

I�m almost skint.

- Ask your son.
- I can't, his wife's giving birth soon.

He's looking for a new job.
They can't lend me money.

You mother fucking pervert

Wait 'til I get my hands on you.

Where are you?
Come over here,

I�m gonna calm you down.

Get in there,

I�ve never seen so much filth
in a man's flat.

Look at the dirt on those papers.

What to say of normal folk...

if an intellectual
lives with his cats?

I can give you a loan
�til after Christmas.

Sandu!

Listen to that one screaming.

And his daughter
fucked off to America.

Canada.

Bianca went to Canada.

America, Canada, screw the bitch that
leaves her old man alone.

God forgive me.

I think they're here.

- Good evening.
- Mr. Lasarescu?

I�m the neighbor who called you.

- Sterian.
- Good evening.

- Good evening.
- it's not him.

Yours is in the bathroom.

Hurry up, Romica.
The ambiance is here.

Have a seat there.

So, should I go on my own?

Let me take care of him, first.

Then come up when you're done.

Alright, see you.

Come on, the ambiance is here.

- See you.
- Good evening.

How did you get in there?

Come on up, easy.

Easy, easy.

Can you use your legs?

it's okay, I�m fine.

But can you stand up,
can you walk?

I called for you.

Are you hurt?
Did you hurt yourself when you fell?

Good evening, ma'am.

Sandu help me out.
I can't use my legs.

Come on up, nice and easy.

Show the lady you're okay.

My legs are okay, ma'am.

it's my belly that hurts.

My stomach
and my greying temples.

We�ll see what's wrong
in a minute.

You had a drink, didn't you?

Well yes,
I�ve drunk about a meter of spirits.

I see.

- What is it you drank?
- Mastropol,

What's that?

Ma-stropoi.

it's a drink we make
from double strength alcohol...

caramel and vanilla.
But no chemicals.

in a word, Mastropol,

Now I want you to stay still.

Calm and breathe normally.

Not like that,
relax your chest.

I know, I was just testing you.

You wanted to see if I know my job.

You're laughing...

100/60...

rather low.

See, this is Mastropol,

And you drank all of this?

- How much of this have you drunk?
- Not much.

You have, 'cause you can't really
use your legs.

My surgery hurts,
that's why I called you.

What surgery?

I had perforated duodenal
ulcer surgery, nurse.

- Perforated ulcer.
- Yes.

I�ll give you vitamins and glucose
and you'll feel better.

Lasarescu Dante Remus.

- 63 years old.
- 63 next month. November the 1 9h.

I�m no expert,
but he threw up blood.

I thought it might be
from the stomach.

Of course...

having health problems and
drinking, leads to throwing up.

I got Maiory-Weiss
from drinking last year.

And I had it cauterized.

That's different.

Probably you had an accident.

- The effort made me vomit.
- Ma'am, my stomach hurts.

My surgery hurts and I�ve been
throwing up since morning.

You threw up
and your stomach hurts?

Then I�ll give you an antacid.

Tomorrow,
when you feel better...

I mean Monday,
the day after tomorrow...

go see the doctor
who operated on you.

I was operated 14 years ago by
Dr Olteanu Viadimir, at the Municipal.

Municipal Hospital.
Now it's called University Hospital.

Just go see him.

My head hurts at the temples.

- Does it hurt really bad?
- Since morning.

This morning.

Then I�ll give you a painkiller, too.

You've had this done before,
haven't you?

Easy...

it's not gonna hurt.

Look, they're here.

- Good evening.
- Good evening, ma'am.

I brought him some moussaka.

Should I put it in the fridge...

or should I give him
a little right now?

Mr. Lasarescu,
would you like some?

Please leave him alone now.

She is my wife.

Hold on tight, like this. Press.

I gave you this injection
because you drank.

- I�ll throw those away.
- Yes, thank you.

You were saying
your stomach aches.

Do you have bloody stools?

I have runny stools.
Almost like water.

- it hurts.
- Here?

Does it hurt here?

Can't you see I had surgery?
Don't you want to see?

- Okay, I got it.
- Calm down.

I apologize.

Have you noticed traces of blood?
Are your stools black?

it's not melena, ma'am.
Don't insist.

I only have diarrhea.
And I have cramps.

You're saying it's not melena.

Do you eat normally?

I eat, yes.
Cold cuts and cheese.

Have you noticed losing weight
over the past week or month?

- About two holes in my belt.
- How did you say?

Yes, I lost weight.
About 2 holes in my belt.

Yes, I see.

Do you live with someone else?

No, he lives alone.

I live with 3 cats in a building where
the neighbors don't love animals.

How can we love them
if they have fleas?

You�ll have to come with me
to be seen by a specialist.

I�m gonna take your temperature,
and then we�ll go.

Have you ever seen
a colon specialist?

There's nothing wrong
with my colon.

I�m gonna have a cigarette
in the kitchen. is smoking allowed?

Yes, it is.
Smoking, drinking, all vices.

Would you come with me?

Let's go.

Don't worry, it will pass.

No shit, you have
an astronaut�s temperature.

I know he has a sister
in Targu-Mures...

and a daughter, Bianca.
But she emigrated to America.

And the wife?

No, his wife died
about 1 0 years ago.

- I see.
- 8 years.

Just a second.

I brought him some moussaka.

But could you come with us?

it'll be easier if he's accompanied.

I don't know,
if you ask me I might come.

But Sandu won't agree.
Sure, he is our neighbor.

You'd help me
with the admittance.

Just between us women...

I don't like them being friends.

He got Sandu into drinking.

Before the Lasarescus moved here
Sandu didn't drink.

Lasarescu taught him to drink
like they do in Hungary.

Lasarescu isn't a Hungarian name.

No, he is Romanian.
But his wife, Erji, was Hungarian.

The arrogant type.

We didn't put the bottle
in his hand.

Look at the filth he lives in
with these cats that soil the stairs.

We live in a building, ma'am.

- That's true.
- Of course I�m right.

And there's Dinescu
on the 4th floor.

His son plays the violin.
He's been driving us nuts.

Sooner or later somebody's
going to have to get rid of these cats.

Would your husband come?

Are you kidding?
Of course he wouldn�t.

But I don't know, you should ask him.

Please don't get me wrong.

We have a drink now and then
but only at home.

And when we need a bit of help
he doesn't give us a dime.

And he's mean,
he just doesn't have a thing.

is he seriously iii?

I�m only a nurse, I can't say for sure.

But it could be serious.

Looks like a colon tumor,
but maybe I�m wrong.

Right.
His wife died of cancer, too.

it would�ve been easier for me
if you had come.

in any case, maybe
you could ask his sister...

to come see him at the hospital.

What's this?

She'd like us to go to the hospital
for Lasarescu's admittance.

Just one of you.

I said you wouldn�t go.

Usually it's easier for us
at admissions...

if the patient is accompanied.

- is it that serious?
- Yes, he has cancer.

I didn't say that.
But they'll hospitalize him for sure.

I only said he might have cancer.

He needs to have full tests done,
colonoscopy, biopsy.

I only said he might have cancer.

You mean from the ulcer?

No, I reckon it's the colon.
But it's better to see a doctor.

Miki, should I go with the lady?

I don't know.

if they find something and keep him,
will you walk home?

Didn't I say
that I�d call his sister?

Really now, I thought we'd agreed.

Yeah, well, I�m sorry.

Just a second.

Thanks for leaving me alone
on a Saturday night.

How is it?

99.9 F. I have
to get him to the hospital.

We have to go to the hospital,
Mr. Lasarescu.

Can you walk to the ambiance

'Course I can.

But first I�d like to call
my sister in Targu-Mures.

I�ll do it,
if you give me the number.

0265.

0265...

Area code.

- 263 545.
- Say it again.

263 545.

Thanks.

Of course I can.

Can you help me
take him to the car?

Take your pajamas.
And some slippers.

Then he needs
a bag or something.

Hello, Mrs., Eva?
Miki Sterian speaking,

Trying to stand up?

Need help?

- is this one okay?
- Of course.

- Are you putting this on?
- Yes.

- Don't push yourself.
- I�ll help you.

Mrs. Eva...

They are taking
me to the hospital.

Don't worry,
it's not serious.

Come on, you're not going
to travel alone by night.

Can I speak with her?

Hold on, let me put someone else on.

Good evening, ma'am.

I am the paramedic.
My name is Mioara Avram.

The ER at St. Spiridon,
if you know where it is.

I think it is.

Yes...

I think you should come.

Tomorrow is fine.

You're sitting in the puke.

if he's not at the hospital,
he'll be at home.

Yes, thank you.
Good evening.

is she coming?

Yes, she is.
She'll be here tomorrow.

So it's settled?

Yes, it is.

if she said she'd be here,
she will be.

Come on, easy.

Don't rush.

Come on Romica,
the lady is waiting for you.

it's stuck.
Here. There you are.

- Would you lock the door?
- Where's the key?

- There, on the fridge.
- I�ll do it.

Where could those cats be?

I took them to the bedroom.

They're gonna ruin my flowers.

They�ll make a mess.

- Watch the steps
- Which lock?

- The lower one.
- Pay attention, please.

- Lean on me.
- Easy, there's no rush.

Listen Sandu...

if they keep me at the hospital,
will you feed my animals?

Mirandoiina, Nusu and Fritz.

- Yes, Romica.
- But don't forget.

- May I?
- Go ahead.

I�ll pay the cat food.

Let me help you.

Bones, flesh,
they're not demanding.

Don't worry Romica,
I�ll feed them.

Be careful.

But only if they keep me
at the hospital.

Yes, what is it?

Get ready,
my husband's bringing him.

I�ll call you later,
I�ve got things to do.

Come on, Mom,
I�m not Geanina.

Yes, I got that, bye.

And Mrs. Mioara?

She's with my husband
and Mr. Lasarescu.

it's okay, leave us.
I can manage.

Easy now Romica,
we're here.

I can't fit into this, ma'am.

What did you expect, a Mazda?

Come on please, get inside.

The new vans
are just for emergencies.

An ulcer�s not an emergency?
Answer me, then I�ll get in.

You believe
ulcers aren't an emergency?

Take your hands off me
Are you blind?

Stop it, Romicai
Did you expect a helicopter?

Stop that, young man
Nurse

Please, it's late.
We need to hurry to the hospital.

Don't put me on that stretcher.
Listen son, I�ll sit here.

Yes, sit here.

- I don't want to lie down.
- I�ll help you up.

Easy now.
There you go.

You don't need to be so rough.

Going to the hospital isn't easy.
We all get old.

I just told him to sit there quietly.

Watch that leg.

Here are your pajamas
and the slippers.

What am I doing here?

- Don't worry.
- They won't keep you there.

Don't be naughty.

C'mon dear,, I'm freezing here,

To the ER at St. Spiridon.

Don't move from that seat.

Alright, I�ll behave myself.

it's not nice to push people
like that, you know.

Could you back up?
Your breath stinks.

I know you're doing your job
but don't be so harsh.

We're just a bunch
of miserable people, mister.

Keep still and let him drive.

How do you feel?

You know how much
I love those cats of mine?

it breaks my heart to leave them
at home by themselves.

Of course, I understand.

Are you still feeling nauseous?

I�m feeing melancholy, ma'am.

'Course, I understand.

My sister has a dachshund...

and she feels
the same way you do.

Excuse me, ma'am...

do you have a cigarette?

Sit there nicely.

We�ll reach the hospital soon.

You can't smoke in here.

I�d like to smoke
a cigarette.

You can't smoke in the car,
do you hear?

We�ll reach the hospital soon.

I�m not smoking
and I actually smoke.

I�ve been smoking
for about 30 years now.

What did my sister say?
When is she coming?

She said she'd be in Bucharest
tomorrow morning by 6:00 AM.

Sorry, ma'am.

You don't know
how hard it is to raise a child.

You have children?

I only have one child.

A girl, Bianca.
Married in Toronto, Canada.

How interesting.

Torino's in Italy, pops.

I�m freezing.

Yeah, it's cold.

My sister has none.

There were two of us,
a boy and a sister.

No, the opposite,
she's the eldest.

I�m the youngest.

I have a sister too,
younger than me.

And you, Leo?
There are two of you, right?

Two, me and Reiu,
who's in Germany.

Sorry, but I have
a terrible headache...

and I would like
to lie down a bit, over here.

is it possible?

Did you say your head aches?

Do you think it's from the ulcer?

This headache, I mean.

And I haven't eaten.

it is psychosomatic,
Mr. Lasarescu.

Relax, you're not in pain.
I gave you 2 painkillers.

Listen son, may I lie down a little
on this seat, in the back?

Do you mind?

- You mean on the stretcher?
- Yes.

Of course, lie down.
Stop the car.

Be patient, Mr. Lasarescu.

Take it easy.

Mr. Lasarescu,
we're here now.

Easy now.

Get up slowly.
We're getting out.

Come on pops.

Give me your hand.

Can you walk,
or should we use the stretcher?

Should I bring a wheelchair?

Give me the bag.

Come on, go get that wheelchair.

- Does your leg hurt?
- My right kidney hurts.

Give me your ID card, please.

Come on, help me take him out.

Easy, easy now.

His leg.

Hold on.

Let us through, please.

Okay miss, drop your panties,

Abdominal colic and cephalgia.

I say he has a colon tumor.
His abdomen is hard.

No kidding?

Where do you want him, doc?

in my lap.
Take him over there.

Excuse me, doctor. Excuse me.

Why did they bring him here
and not to Fundeni Hospital?

Why not to Fundeni?

He needs a specialist
I�m not qualified to make a diagnosis.

Well, you made a diagnosis
about his colon.

Get undressed, please.
Check his blood pressure.

Help the gentleman undress.

is your belly still sore?

- is it sore right now?
- Yes.

Bend your leg.

And the other one.
Head to the left.

The belt.

- Does it hurt here?
- No.

To be honest,
it's my head that's sore now.

Exhale.

You've drunk quite a bit.

Raluca,
write the lady a prescription,

Doctor,, could it be from my colitis?

I thought I was the doctor here.

Hey, hey What's this?

Behave, or you�ll make me angry.

Take your prescription and go home.

What do we do with him?
Send him to Pandur?

Did you give him Papaverine?

- And the ultrasound?
- I�ll do it now.

Get out of my way
How are things?

He's been drinking.

This, we don't like.

Did you celebrate something?

Or do you drink
just for the sake of it?

Did you bring him?

Why here and not to Fundeni?

Say pops,
has a colon specialist seen you?

Doctor, I had ulcer surgery
14 years ago.

Why do you drink,
if you've had an ulcer?

Look at that zipper he's got.
But he doesn't care.

- Do you smoke?
- Yes.

Good, keep it up

Nothing.

Have you ever had a colonoscopy?

I have stomach problems,
I have an ulcer.

No pops,
you have head problems.

Maybe it's his colon.

it hurts, doesn't it?

Have you seen the size of his liver?

One day your liver will burst
from the drink. You hear?

Since when
do you make diagnosis?

Do you have a secret method
I�m not aware of?

Are you using bio-energy?

Can you see the Holy Spirit?
Cat got your tongue?

- I said it could be the colon.
- Great.

Now teach us our trade.

Why did you bring him here?
The hallway is full of his kind.

That's how we got in this shit,
by minding other people�s business.

Doctor, my head hurts.

Then why do you drink?

Stop drinking
and it won't hurt.

- it started this morning.
- Then no nightcaps.

- Please don't talk to me like that.
- What was that?

Please, be quiet.

Have you no shame?
Who do you think you are?

I�ll blow you
and your ulcer to bits

You pour alcohol into your body...

then you come to me for repairs.

Doctors take care of your ass,
operate on your ulcer...

and you go home and get wrecked.

Did I do this to you?
This ulcer, did I cause it?

Hospitals are full
of people like you...

that soak their brains in alcohol
and batter their wives and kids.

Close that door, will you?
This isn't a disco.

What are you doing here?

Why are you barging in?

Please be still,
it's not over yet.

- I have never beaten my child.
- Don't get dressed.

You stay here. I don't want
to have to send for you.

What's all this fuss about?

if you don't keep quiet
I�ll throw you all out.

Where's that prescription?

Don't get me started on you, too.

Sign here.

Sorry, you were busy.

Look what
you've brought me here.

Why get dressed?
Are you cold?

Lie down, I�m not over.

And you don't care
about the others...

patients with serious problems...

like that one.

Silvia, give him glucose.
Did you give him anything?

I gave him that
and a painkiller.

Give him an analgesic and vitamins.

- Move over.
- What is it?

Two seriously injured.

Patient, 20 years old,
head injury.

- Blood pressure, 140/90.
- Take a look, doctor.

Call for Dr Keiemen and Dr Tutui.
Snap it up.

What's your name?
Can you speak?

How is he?

Left anisocoria.

Call tomography.

- Where did it happen?
- You mean them?

At Saftica.

I think there are at least 20 dead.

I have to go.
Good evening, madam.

Make room,

How are you feeing?
Does your head still hurt?

Stay still, don't move.

Doctor, my head hurts.

Good, it means you have one.

Did you see those people?
Those are emergencies.

- Doctor,, could you come here?
- Wait a second.

Vomit blood, black stools?

- No, I have diarrhea.
- I didn't ask you that.

Raise your hands.

Bullshit, you're okay.
Stop drinking.

You don't give a shit about others.
it's the doctor's job.

Give me that record.

it's your duty,
that's why you're paid.

What?

My duty?

Did I put the bottle
in your hand, you pig?

Did I make you drink?

Who told you
that we're so well paid?

Why did they bring you
on the stretcher?

Can you use your own legs?
Stand up and walk.

I don't need your help.
I can make it alone.

- Look at him.
- Easy, Mr. Lasarescu.

And you were lecturing us.

See what alcohol�s made of you?

- Are you hurt, Mr. Lasarescu?
- Girl...

Call someone to take him away.

Costical

You'd better get dressed.

Get him out of my sight.

There's nothing wrong
on the ultrasound.

- Did you write his prescription?
- Yes,

Then send him home,
what are you waiting for?

Take him to Fundeni.

His liver is as big as
the Parliament House.

I don't think it's hepatitis 905a.

No.

Take him to Fioreasca
or University.

He needs a liver CT scan.

I would�ve kept him here,
but you see how crowded it is.

Hurry up with the chair.

Easy.

- You need help?
- No, it's okay.

Are you comfortable?

Watch your head,
we're closing shop.

So?

We brought those two,
but there's still a lot to do.

I doubt there are
any more survivors.

They blocked the road, too.

Didn't they crash
at the exit for Snagov?

No, it happened
on the bridge at Saftica.

They had no reason
to make a right for Snagov.

They broke the parapet.

Half of our guys are there.
And there were kids in the bus.

- Good evening, ma'am.
- Hi, Misu.

They pissed me off with their lectures.
Our grandpa, too.

He's drunk
and can't keep his mouth shut.

What about the accident?

They were heading for Brasov...

and they crashed on the bridge.

A front tire blew out. I guess
they were doing over 1 00 km/hour.

They were going on holiday.

I don't know,
half of them are dead.

We were the third on the scene,
and we got the last ones alive.

- See how life is?
- What about your patient?

Suspicion of cirrhosis,
according to Dr Ardeiean.

Wasn't he involved
in the medicine scandal?

No, that one's name is Aidea.
Sandu Aidea.

I thought his name was Ardeiean.

- We're off to University.
- Why? The place is swamped.

Most of the casualties went there.

We're going for a CT scan.
Move over.

You should have heard the people
moaning under that bus.

Be still, Mr. Lasarescu.

We're taking you to University
to run full tests.

Let's go.

Bye, Misu,

Good bye, ma'am, Take it easy,

Listen, be careful with Leo,
he's a stud,

My gall-bladder hurts...

and I have no pills on me.

Did you try marigold tea?

Slow down, please slow down.

What's wrong, Mr. Lasarescu?

Don't take me home, girl.
I feel really bad.

My name is Mioara, Mr. Lasarescu.

And his name is Leonard.

Yeah, beautiful...

Listen, somebody take me
to the hospital, I�m sick.

Relax, we're on our way
to the hospital.

- Mrs. Mioara.
- Yes?

I feel like my head's going to burst.
Please take me to the hospital.

We're heading there, I�ve told you.

Come on Mr. Lasarescu,
don't be a baby.

My sister will be nice to you
when she comes.

Never mind your sister, okay?

Look, pops, we're almost there.

in 5 minutes we'll be there.
Look, the Parliament House.

I am sorry I caused you trouble
at the hospital.

What's that?

I am sorry I caused trouble
with the doctors.

Forget about it, we're used to it.

But, at University,
try to be more careful.

They might be less patient.

- Yes, you're right.
- I lost my temper. I�m sorry.

I know, but you you've been drinking
and they might send you home.

That's true, but isn't the doctor's
duty to take care of the patient?

Yeah?
And what is the patient's duty?

I�m taking you by ambulance...

but shouldn�t you behave?

See? He's quiet now.

Pull over, pull over. He threw up.

Wait, we're in the middle
of the junction.

What have you done here?

Give me the napkins.

See, if you don't stay still?
Look what you've done here.

Hold it to your mouth.

Okay. Drive on.

is it okay?

Excuse me, nurse.

Do you have children?

- What?
- Do you have children?

God, you like to chat.
Yes, I have a son and a daughter.

The girl is 1 8, and the boy 27.

What else?

Big, you have big kids.

Excuse me, nurse...

but how old are you?

I�m not that young anymore. I�m 55.

- 55?
- Yes.

55, in September.

in September? Just like Virgil,
my brother in law...

only that he's 68.
When in September?

Dear me,
on the 1st of September.

He is on the 21st or the 27th.

Come on pops, here's the hotel.

The Trauma Center?
From the accident?

Are you from the accident?

- We're with another case.
- We've been sent for tests.

in that case go somewhere else,
we're crowded.

We've been sent
from St. Spiridon for tests.

Listen, woman,
no one can take care of you.

Really.

Did I tell you to take him out?
Pack up and go.

Why are you following me?

You have a customer.

- What do we do?
- We'll see.

Trauma is full.

No room on the 1 st or 2nd,
nor at mom's or dad's.

Please go away.

We're going to Fundeni.

Then go.
What are you waiting for?

Am I not clear enough?

We just need to do a CT scan.

What CT scan, lady?
Give me that record.

What am I supposed to do now?

Come here.

Take this one to General Care.
Come on Mr. Driver, time is ticking.

- Out with him, quick.
- Move the car, will you?

And please clean the puke.

Now blame it on me.

Hold on pops, don't wiggle.

Make room.

Could you let us through?

Thanks.

Easy.

- Wait outside, please,
- For a hemogram.

I�ll wait here, in the hail.

- Why don't you go in?
- She told me to wait.

You may go in,
I see you have an emergency.

Let's let him go in first.

Of course, ma'am, go in.

Come in.

- How do you feel, Mr. Remus?
- My head hurts, my temples...

And the booze,
why did you drink it?

Get him inside.

Can you walk, just two steps?

I�ll try.

Sit here.

And stay still.

I�ll be here, by the benches.

Look at me.

- I don't like what I see.
- I throw up morning.

- You threw up this morning?
- No.

Since this morning.

We�ll see in a minute.

But first,
we�ll take some blood for tests.

Help him undress.

Please sit.

Did you sign in the ambiance

Then I need his hemogram
and transaminases.

And place a catheter.

- He needs a CT scan, doctor.
- The vest, too.

Are you coming?

And look...

you've had ulcer surgery.

May I?

I�ll use this arm too.

This drink.
You never have enough of it

Why do you drink
if you've had ulcer surgery?

Did you take enough blood?
I want a ionogram, too.

Come on, bend your legs.

- What? The right one is slower?
- Yes.

Head to the side.

- Nothing here.
- Don't influence me, drinking.

- What did you say?
- Sometimes doesn't influence.

I don't get it.
Who's not influencing you?

I palpated him
and his abdomen was hard.

I thought it was the colon.

it's not the colon.
it's the liver.

Look at his color,
his liver�s the problem.

- Did you throw up with blood?
- No ma'am.

- it hurts here, doesn't it?
- Don't get close.

What about black stools?

You know, melena.

I say things
you don't want to understand.

No kidding.

Do you have melena?
Yes or no?

No.

it's not the stomach.

I told my head hurts.

Would you hold your temper with me?

Please.

I don't know about the CT scan.
This is bad timing.

instead of waiting,
you'd better go to Fiiaret Hospital.

- Tell her the head hurts.
- What? Your head hurts?

Actually we went to pick him up
thinking it was meningitis.

I don't think so. Look at the light.

Does it bother you?

No.

You're not bothered.

Where exactly is the pain?

Here, the temples.

- Here?
- Yes.

- Here too?
- Yes.

Raise your hands.

How mean you are,
all these women.

Stay still...

look at me and don't move.

Squeeze my hands.

Harder.

- The right hand doesn't answer you?
- Yes.

You can put his clothes on.

Please, call Popescu, from Neurology.

Quick.

I�ll take care of you in a second.

Hello, Dragos?

Can you come over, please?

Yes, it's urgent.

A 62 year old man.

Come on, get serious.

I can't speak.

I just can't.

Maybe. if you bring me roses.

I�ll be waiting.

Let's see.

- Should I put his coat on?
- No.

Lie down over there.
A neurologist is coming to see you.

Let's start with the EKG, Mrs. Sandu.

First...

you have
left ventricular hypertrophy...

meaning your blood pressure is high.

Nothing serious,
but avoid making efforts.

See?
Tell her, doctor.

'Cause she doesn't want
to listen to me.

You also have signs
of calcification on your aorta.

I�ll take you on our way out,
but first you need to be examined.

I'm prescribing a treatment,,,,

and I�d like you to follow it.

And check
with your own physician...

at least once a month.

Now, no more salt, fat, effort,
coffee and alcohol.

You're done with those.
You go on diet and rest.

We booked a spa holiday.
Would that be okay for her?

Of course,
rest doesn't mean being inactive.

We're celebrating
our 40th wedding anniversary...

and we wanted to go
to a special place.

Congratulations.

So, where's the accused?

Did you bring me roses?

Couldn�t find any.
Here's an apple.

Let's go see him.

This is instead of
je t'aime moi non plus,

Here he is.

His head hurts
and he's getting right paresis.

He's also sort of dysarthric,
but he drank.

CT scan in three hours,
cause it's full now.

Trauma Center
turned into a slaughterhouse.

His liver is swollen
and he definitely needs a CT scan.

I agree, but in about 3 hours.

- Tell me your name, please.
- Lasarescu Dante Remus.

- Lasarescu Dan...
- Lasarescu Dante Remus.

What is it Mr. Lasarescu,
what's wrong?

My head hurts the morning, today.

Your head hurts in the morning?

- Did you hurt yourself?
- I found him fallen in the tub.

Didn't hurt, I slipped the bathroom.

You didn't hurt yourself?

Repeat after me.

Thirty three storks on the roof
of Kogainiceanu's house.

Thirty three storks on the roof...

- Say, "orange"
- Orange.

- Do you feel the same thing here?
- Yes.

Would you please follow my finger?

With your eyes.

Down.

- Do you see clear or double?
- Clear.

Relax your eye lid, please.

Now, touch your nose
with your left index, like I�m doing.

And now, your right index.

Squeeze my hands, please.

Raise your arms.

Close your eyes.

Now open your eyes.

I will ask you to bend your knees.
Both of them at the same time.

Now

Come on, stand up,
take a few steps.

I don't think he can.

Come on, you can do it.

All right. Lie down.

Tell me,
what did you do this morning?

I woke up 6.

- I woke up a headache.
- You woke up with a headache.

- Did you drink anything?
- I took Distonocalm

Saturday morning, I was back...

in market, switch back the seeds...

To switch the seeds? What seeds?

instead of pansies,
he gave me lawn.

And I went...

to get the pansies money back.

it was the man...

with moustaches.

What is this?

You mean...

I mean what is this,
what is its name?

You asking me, aren't you?

What is the name
of the object on my wrist?

if you know,
why do you ask?

it's the time.

What is this?

A writer.

- You found him in the bathtub?
- Yes.

When I got there, his neighbor
was pulling him out of the bathtub.

Well, I don't know what to do.

I definitely need a head CT scan.

it might be a hematoma,
but it might be something else.

We were sent from St Spiridon
for blood tests and a CT scan.

They've sent you for nothing.
Tomography is full.

No CT scans
for the next three hours.

And even if you get one,
Neurosurgery is also full.

I mean, work around the clock,
like a power plant.

You might have
something in your head.

A blood clot we have to remove.

Do you understand what I said?

Do you?

Lasarescu's hemogram and calcium.
The transaminas is not ready.

That's it.

He needs a CT scan,
to know what we're talking about.

And I�m afraid it can't wait.

She should take him
to Fiiaret Hospital.

They have both.
CT scanner and Neurosurgery.

Check this out.

Look at the potassium value...

and glycemia.

That's it. Take him to Fiiaret.

Stop fooling around.

Does it hurt?

Dragos, I�ll call Tomography.

it's only a few minutes, after all.

Call them.

Wait another minute.
I�ll check Tomography.

I�m not coward, ma'am.

- What did you say?
- it is not afraid surgery.

This surgery is very simple.
it's like appendicitis.

I did ulcer surgery...

and not afraid.

You had ulcer surgery?
Then it's even simpler.

The bombs got the house
and the floor.

The bombs?

Stick out your tongue, please.

- Were you in the war?
- in '44...

Americans bombed Pioiesti...

Bucarest and Brazi.

We were in Brazi.

Me and Evelina...

succeeded.

Put him on.

Dr Johnny.

Come on, make an effort.
We need a quick scan.

And after those?

Cranial and hepatic.

And if it was
my mother in law�s uncle?

I do it for Gina.

it looks like a hematoma
but it might be a neopiasm as well.

You're the man. Thanks.

- Bresiasu.
- Come on, he's a good fellow.

So it's settled.

Run to Tomography.
Tell Bresiasu you were sent by me.

That is, Dragos Popescu.

Mr. Patient is asleep.

Look, he's sleeping.

What are you doing Mrs. Bubuiina?
What are you waiting for?

I need some Colebil,
my gallbladder hurts.

Do you have any?

Are you the ambiance driver?

Boys, come on,
I have a job for you.

Doctor?

Phone call for you,

Yes, I�ll be right there.

I have to leave, mi amor,,
Duty calls.

Aren't you going with them?

No, I have an emergency.

Yes, but anyway...

if I have an emergency,
it's an emergency.

Do you know where Tomography is?

But aren't you keeping him here?

I don't think so.

if he has a hematoma,
you�ll take him to Fiiaret.

Here, both rooms are occupied
with the bus accident.

Maybe they got free.

Don't push your luck, okay?

I have to go, goodbye.

- Your stamp.
- My stamp and my pen.

Get moving
and don't lose the nurse on your way.

He has woken up.
Good morning.

November 1 9h, a Scorpio?

Like my brother.

No need to wait for the rest
of the tests. it's irrelevant.

Tomography is on the 4th floor,
the boys know.

Who's next?
Come in.

Goodbye.

- Where are you going?
- I can't take up.

That's what I�m saying.

Do you know where you are?

We're going to do a scan,
to see if your head's okay.

There's a certain something
about you that's attractive.

Okay, stay put and be quiet.

- Do you still need me?
- No, you can go.

She came with Virgil?

Say that again.

She came with Virgil?

Beats me. Who's Virgil?

Virgil Muscaiu.

I don't know Mr. Lasarescu,
I don't understand what you're saying.

Eva second husband.

Second husband? I don't get it.

With the intercity train or express?

Oh Lord, what did I do wrong?

if you keep talking
I will tie your tongue.

Mariana.

What are you doing, girl?

Business or pleasure?

Lucky you're here.
You look great.

Won't you help me
put in a patient?

- I�ve had him since 1 0 PM.
- Just a sec.

Weren't you working at the MRI?

No, I�ve always worked here.

Please, don't move.

Say, what's the story?

I brought him for a CT scan.

Dr Dragos Popescu
spoke with your doctor.

So? I�ll go tell him.

Take this too.

it's gonna be alright.

We�ll see on the CT scan.

We�ll see on the CT scan.

I have my wife in there...

Mariana

Be quiet, girl.

Did you get
Doina's invitation?

What about the wedding
at the intercontinental?

Expensive.
I can't really afford it.

But her daughter's lucky.

Her son-in-law�s father
is a PSD senator.

Big deal, what a catch.

Admit it, it's not bad.

Now you�ll need to do your hair,
won't you?

My hair?
My dress isn't ready.

Look at the dark circles I have.

Maybe you�ll catch a big fish there.

Shut up, I�m a married woman.

When's your son getting married?

I don't know. it's his life.

if they don't want to get married...

As long as they love each other...

it's like being married.

But I can't see my grand daughter
as often as I�d like to.

Her mom and I
are completely incompatible.

You do look great, babe.

- How do you do it?
- What do I do...

I�m on a dairy diet,
if you know what I mean.

Didn't you say
you're a married woman?

Hold your tongue,
my man is the milkman.

Nothing to do with you, then.
I thought you were a feminist.

Can you open us, miss?

in a second. Hold on.

Come on, boys.

it will be alright, you�ll see.

Come inside.

Good evening.

So you're the uncle
of Dragos's mother-in-law.

- Any tests done?
- Yes, here you are.

it seems he's had a glass tonight.

We sure did,
we had some Sauvignon.

What did you say your name was?

Lasarescu Dante Remus.

Once again, please,
and from the heart.

Lasarescu Dante Remus.

Give me the form,
to get him registered.

You have a big name, uncle Lasarescu.

Now we're gonna take a picture of you.

Does that make you happy?

So, pops, something's broken here
and here as well.

The tests say so, you see?

it will be quick,
we're skipping the contrast.

We�ll take a picture
of the pate and of the roof.

Hold this.

Say, Mr. Dante, does it hurt now?

My belly swelled my back.

What?
What did he say?

His stomach aches.

We picked him up with nausea.
He was saying that his head hurts.

The neighbor that found him
said he vomited blood.

Could be tomato skins.

He said he vomited threads of blood.

- Define threads of blood.
- That's what he said.

- Put him on the side.
- Yes, doctor.

Easy pops, don't worry,
nothing bad will happen.

Any metal on you?
The necklace stays.

Any coins in your pockets?

We�ll loosen the belt a little?

Can you help me get him admitted?

Wait �til we finish the scan.
Allow me.

I�d like to ask you a favor.

Don't move or the picture will blur.

if you get an idea
you'd like to share...

just speak in the microphone.

- Give me those.
- Which ones?

This one.

I�m cold.

And what can I do about it?
Jump up and down to warm up.

it says here you gave him glucose.
Did you?

Yes, he was weak and confused.

I gave him an analgesic too.

And if it's a CVA?

They did the same at St. Spiridon.

That changes everything.
Let's give him 4 more.

- Doctor, he wet himself.
- I need toilet.

- Great pops, to your health.
- I need toilet, miss.

Don't stress out,
you might crap yourself as well.

I want you to give me...

Pops, you just pissed yourself.

First the picture,
then we�ll get changed.

- I want pajama.
- Never mind the pajamas.

First the picture...

and then the pajamas, okay?

- I want the pajama.
- Pops, pay attention.

We�ll go to the toilet,
but first we need to get the picture.

Nurse, I want wash, I�m...

- Do you have something for him?
- His pajamas.

I want to toilet, I want wash.

Come over here to help the lady
change him and all,

Easy.

The legs.

What did you do, pops?
Wet yourself?

- What's on your legs?
- Why didn't you mention the varicose?

Where you keeping it
as a surprise?

Let me get those wet pants off.

Don't be so ashamed,
you're not the first one.

Easy with the leg.

Lift your leg.

Careful. Sorry.

Stop moaning like an old woman.

- That's it, get him up.
- Wait, boys.

Just a second, doctor.

- These hands. Ready.
- Up.

Mind your head.

Ready, doctor.

Ready pops, satisfied?
See, it's done.

You peed, they changed you
and your pajamas are on.

it won't take long.

if you have other needs,
please, hold it in.

it�ll take five minutes.

- You're losing your papers.
- it's not mine.

it's Mr. Lasarescu's.

Okay, keep your eyes closed
and stay still.

it was somewhere over here...

There it is.

The bigger one, please.

You got yourself a bunch of rags.

Mariana, love,
bring me another frappuccino.

And one for the lady from 91 1.

That's kind.

- No sugar?
- No sugar.

What are you saying?
Mr. Lasarescu?

if we move,
we spoil the photo.

We�ll start the launch.
Steady now

Six, five, four, three,
two, one, zero.

We begin with the head
and we stop at Stalingrad.

Here's your coffee, doctor.

For the head, it's settled.

if he takes anti-clotting drugs
for the varicose, Heparin, Sintrom,,,

... he's dead.

Not dead. Dead and buried.

Back to the starting point.

Mariana, position the gentleman
for the abdomen.

We're done with the head,

Now a picture of your abdomen
and we're finished

Did you hear what I said?

Mister?

Hey, mister?

Gee, you scared me,

He fell asleep.

Come on, help me raise him.
We're getting up a bit.

is it okay?

We're almost finished.

Okay, we lay down slowly.

Slowly. Enough.

We keep our hands behind our head.

You hold him, he's feeble.

We will tie them a bit.

We close our little eyes.

And it turns out
the good doctor was right.

These neoplasm�s
are Discovery Channel stuff.

it deserves a snapshot, doesn't it?

Smile please.

I also thought he had cancer.

I say you'd better stop
playing doctor...

and be careful with that glucose.

I was joking.

The way our Mr. Lasarescu looks...

you could have injected him compote.

He's departing, poor pops.

The film will take a little while.

Mariana, get him out.

- Nurse?
- Yes, doctor.

You wait for the scans...

and you take him to Neurosurgery,
to drill his head.

- Okay.
- Okay?

Yes, doctor. I understand.
To Neurosurgery.

Mariana, there's a client waiting,

Yes, I'll be right there,

Take him straight to
Fioreasca or Bagdasar...

to have him instantly operated.

What is it?

Didn't they give you a note?

Yes, for Fiiaret.

Very well, take him to Fiiaret.

- From the accident?
- What?

The gentleman,
is he from the accident?

I don't know,
they sent me from ER.

He needs immediate surgery.

Couldn�t you keep him in here, doctor?

He has pajamas,
can't you give him a bed?

Yes doctor, can't we help her?

Look at them. They got me surrounded.

Where do we put him?
Don't you know surgery is full?

Neurosurgery is full.

Take this one to Fiiaret,
quickly operate...

so that he can
die of cancer at home.

Please, doctor

Don't be a piglet

You think I wouldn�t keep him,
if I could?

Didn't you hear it's an emergency?
He needs surgery right now.

Where do we take him, doctor?

Tell him it's a subdurai hematoma
with intracranial pressure.

- You owe me for this.
- if it works.

if it works? You owe me, period.

How long?

And the other one?

I got it, thanks.

Bad luck, nurse.

Both rooms are busy,
and will stay that way until 1 0 AM.

Go and position that one
for the cervical.

I could also take him
to the crematorium.

He keeps saying
he's cold anyway.

Neurosurgery is full.
Enough, time out.

Come on, give me this to sign,
stamp and everything.

I�ve been lugging him around
all night.

You're exaggerating,
the night is still young.

I thought it might help
if you spoke with Neurosurgery.

Well, it didn't.

Hurry up,
he might die on the way.

Nice meeting you.
Careful with the scans.

I�m sorry, bye.

Good luck.

This way, Mioara.

Sit there quietly,
if you want to feel better.

if you want to throw up,
let me know.

Before, when you were upset...
you told it to me.

You, son of a bitch

What's he saying?

I don't understand.

Let me add it up for you.

500,000 for medication...

another 500 for the consultation,
CT scan, 2 million.

Admittance, bed, meals, more money.
What do you think?

I�m thirsty.

You're dodging the question.

There's the vehicle too,

Fuel, service, spares and all,

And we earn less than nothing.

Thirsty folks.

My gallbladder again.

Imagine the bus driver,

What misfortune,

In the end there are only 11 dead,

Hold on, I have some water,,

it's okay. Pass it here.

You never thought about marrying?
Do you like being single?

Don't mention it, I got
a divorce over a year ago,

You don't say.
Were you married?

Yes and I have
a 2 year old daughter,,

I can't believe it.

You're such a messed up generation.

You already got a divorce...

my son already has a kid
and he's not married to his wife.

Really now

We're doing what we can,

My son has a daughter too. Mihaeia.

I call her Mica.

Who could�ve guessed
you were married?

You see,

- What's your daughter's name?
- Geanina,

What a beautiful name.

She's beautiful too,

The cutest little thing
you ever saw,,

She's got brown eyes like me,

I hope you don't mind...

but you shouldn�t have
divorced your ex-wife.

For the child, I mean.

Good evening.

"Good evening" was 8 hours ago.

I brought a patient from University.

Bring him in.

Come on.

You know what I forgot to tell you?

Hold on, she'll be right back.

Be calm, we'll be done in a second,

What's wrong with him?

For Neurosurgery,
a subdurai hematoma.

Give me the record.

He wet himself, see?

I know, we've been running
around since 1 0 PM.

You wet yourself.
So, what happened?

Have... pan... belly between us.

I don't understand you.
Corina, are you finished?

- Check his blood pressure.
- Right away.

You wet yourself,,

Come on, easy.

You have cold hands.

I have a cold hands?

We're coming from University.

it's mobbed over there,
from the bus crash. They sent us here.

There's vomiting
and a headache.

Wouldn�t it have been better
to keep him there?

I don't think they could.

it must have been busy.

- They have two rooms in Neuro.
- I only know of one.

You should�ve gone to Bagdasar,
it's a neurosurgery hospital.

That's right.
You should know that.

He needed to be operated right away.

Mr. Lasarescu, can you hear me?

Do you know where you are?

Look at me.

Follow this pen.

Look at the state you're in.

Follow the pen.

Since when is he confused?

This is the third hospital already.

At St. Spiridon they told me
he was drunk and needed a CT scan...

and from University
they sent us here.

- Where do you live?
- Maroshva... Mures...

- You live in Bucharest.
- The lady from emergency...

We can't communicate.

He also has liver neopiasm.
He needs surgery right away.

May I examine him?

But the results are in there and...

Because if you mind,
I�ll ask you to let me do my job...

and go wait outside.

I apologize, but it's 20 past 3.

We're an ambiance service,
there are other patients...

The pulse is 1 10.
Are you new here?

Sometimes in hospitals
you have to wait.

- No, I don't know.
- Nurse, go to the bathroom.

I�ve been doing this
for 1 6 years.

So you should know by now.
Should I dress him?

What cancer are we talking about?

Has he had a biopsy test?

Abnormal structures.
Do you know what that is?

Are you familiar
with the terminology?

The biopsy will tell
if it's cancer or not.

Thanks, miss resident.
One more lesson, we have all night.

The backs are scratchy.

Good Lord, the tests are clear.
Check his record.

Let me explain how we stand.

it's 3:00 AM. and we're tired too.

You do your job, we�ll do ours.

And don't you patronize me.

May I?

- Are you feeing better?
- We're fine

- Who's with you?
- His brother-in-law.

So he will take you home.

- Can we hurry up, please?
- Aren't you needed somewhere else?

Think.
Have you flied his data?

Look, the nurse is waiting
for you to do it.

- Why satisfy your ego on me?
- Prescription?

Don't talk to me like that.
I have a kid your age.

Spare me the lecture, will you?
You all think you know better.

Does anybody have a Nokia charger?

What's the smell?
Open a window.

- Corina, open the window.
- it's stuck, doctor.

it doesn't bother you?
What's that?

- He's just came from University.
- He has an SDH.

He's the one who smells.
Couldn�t they clean him up?

He did it in the car,
on our way here.

The way he looks,
he needs urgent surgery.

Up we go, slowly.
There's no hurry.

What kind of mobile
do you have?

A Nokia.

- Like this one?
- Yes.

Can I have your battery
for a minute?

My wife's away with the boy.
I have to wake her...

so she�ll get off the train.

- Use it.
- Just the battery.

- it's alright, really.
- OK, I�ll make it quick.

And the nurse gave us a lecture.

I only said he needed surgery.

And who decides,
you or a specialist?

- A doctor at University...
- A specialist...

Yes, Dr Bresiasu said
he needed an operation.

And what is Dr Bresiasu?

A specialist.

His ID card.

No signal.
Can I try again later?

- Who's with him?
- Me.

No, lady, has he got someone?
Wife, sister, mistress.

He has a sister
coming from Targu-Mures.

So he's alone.
Watch out.

There we go.

Here you can follow me better.

I am Mirica.
I�m the neurosurgeon on duty.

Let me explain.

Your CT scan indicates
a subdurai hematoma.

This causes the headaches
and the vomiting.

My head aches from the ulcer.

it aches because of the hematoma.

That's normal. But the vomiting
might come from the liver.

I have a headache and belly sir.

Easy now. Your state is good,
but stop moving...

and don't talk
'cause I don't understand.

You're not in a coma,
you're not lethargic.

You feel a bit sleepy. Me too.
it's 3:35 AM.

- Do you have relatives?
- I have ulcer.

He has a sister, I told you.

He needs immediate surgery.
He has dysarthria.

Dr Bresiasu told me this.

And look, he also has a hemiparesis.

Unbelievable, isn't it?

I thought the doctor
was exaggerating...

but you really don't
respect us.

I only said
we needed to hurry up.

We've been on the road
since 1 0:00 PM.

You don't say

You should start by learning your place
and letting us do our job.

But you told me to get out, miss.

We're all medical staff here.

No, we're medical staff
with different degrees.

You can't teach me, a doctor,
the procedures.

That is called insolence.

Therefore,
if you want to stay...

please, keep your mouth shut.
Or else, you can wait in the hallway.

Stamp my record and I�ll go.

What did you say?

if you stamp it I will go.

I thought doctors
decided that too.

I�ll have to repeat myself.

Nurse, you can either shut up
and let me do my work...

or go down the hallway.

So, you have a subdurai hematoma
that requires surgery.

Please bring a disclaimer.

Fill it in, please.

We have to operate...

but before, I need you to sign a
disclaimer saying you accept the risks.

Now, you know what a hematoma is?

Yes, I have a cruise.

- What?
- A bruise.

Right. it's a broken vessel that bleeds
between dura mater and the arachnoid.

it creates a pressure
or pushes on the brain.

This is where we intervene.
if we don't, it's lethal.

- Doctor, watch the trolley.
- Yes.

Pay attention.

The surgery
is not without hazards...

and it is my duty
to inform you about them.

Some colleagues don't,
which I don't think is fair.

The patient must be fully informed.

Yes, it's a problem of mortality.

Be serious.
Can you die from appendicitis?

it's just like appendicitis.

There is a risk of paralysis.
That is true.

Loosing control of the limbs.

I don't want paralysis,
to hand, in here.

No one said
you would be paralyzed.

Do you hear me?

There is a risk.

Because of that
the patient has to sign.

- Have to go to...
- No, pay attention.

You are drunk, 'cause
you smell, you fell...

and you got a hematoma.

We will take it out but before,
I need you to sign.

Say that again.

Have to go to Christmas...

with girl Bianca.

Don't worry,
you�ll be fine by Christmas.

We're going to the operating room.
But before, I need your signature.

Eva with her husbands comes.

Pay attention, will you?

She will take care of you.

You have to sign. Give it to me.

Sign this, so I can operate you.

Put it on something.

Do you understand me?

You have to sign a paper.

Mr. Lasarescu.
This is a disclaimer. You see?

I�ve filled in your name.

Now you have to sign that you agree.

I�ll help you.

Take this pen and sign,
so that he can operate you.

- I can't paralyze...
- You won't, sign here.

Sign here Mr. Lasarescu.

... Evelina on New Year's Eve.

Would you sign this, please?

What do we do, doc?

Are you signing or not?

He's in no condition to sign.

He can't even hold the pen.

Should we break the law, nurse?

Look at her, she wants me in jail.

if I operate without a signature
and he dies, I�ll go to jail.

Come on, sign here,
we�ll clean you up...

I operate
and you�ll be as good as new.

- No.
- No what?

Want medicine in my home,
at drugstore.

What are you saying? You're aphasic
and you have dysarthria.

Do you want to go home?

Will you come home?

Calm down, we're not gonna force you.

Have you recorded him?

Perfect, now record his release.

And note, "The patient
refuses the surgery."

The patient has to sign,
not you.

He doesn't want to.

- On my record, I mean.
- No kidding.

if he signs, but he's not lucid,
then the signature is worthless.

Just admit you don't want to operate
and I�ll take him away.

- Take him where?
- To Bagdasar Hospital.

Or back to University,
I guess it's calmer now.

Sorry, but I think I can tell
when a patient is confused or not.

Now you're quarreling
with the doctor too.

Or you know what?

Get him in the car,
drive for about an hour...

when he's comatose
bring him back.

No need for signatures
or relatives.

So far he hasn't signed,
so I can't operate him.

if you're so good at Law and Medicine,
find him the proper hospital.

He didn't sign me the paper,
so I have no responsibility.

Or go to Bagdasar and find a doctor...

that will operate
without a disclaimer.

But if he dies in the car
it�ll be your fault.

Don't want.

- What do you not want?
- Don't want.

Nurse, get him out of here.

When you've decided what you want,
I�ll be here on duty.

Call someone to get him out.

What are you staring at?
Go to Bagdasar.

Good bye, have a nice trip.

Come on, Mr. Lasarescu.

We're going to Bagdasar.

I�ll go get croissants.

Would you like anything?

It doesn't smell anymore

What was that?

What did you say?

I said I didn't get that.

The smell is not so bad anymore

Can you let us through?

Hold on.
I�ll go with the record.

Good morning.

I�m bringing a patient.

Speak with the head nurse.

The record.

He soiled himself.

We came all the way from Fiiaret.

Can we bring him in?

- How are you?
- How are we?

Busy, with all that fuss
from the bus accident.

But it's over now.

What did you feed him
that makes him stink so bad?

- is he drunk, too?
- Poor soul, he soiled himself.

Yes, he needs cleaning.

Dr Zamflr has to see him first.

What are you talking about?

Let me see that.

He has a subdurai hematoma
and has to be operated.

Just a second.

Here are the CT scans, doctor.

is that a clot?

Yes, Mrs. Marioara.
Bleeding near the brain.

it's not that serious, is it?

it's not, but it could be.

This one is pretty serious.

But this shade on the liver
is more serious.

And I�m afraid nobody can fix this.

What is your name?

Repeat, please.

All right.

Lasarescu Dante Remus.

That's not what I understood.

Why didn't they keep him at Fiiaret?

He did not want to sign.
He didn't want the operation.

I think it's written in his record.

Yes, I saw that.

But I don't think
Lasarescu Dante Remus understood.

I repeat, "understood."

Don't tell me he reached this state
on the way over here.

it's 10 minutes at this hour.

it took us longer, ma'am.

With getting him out of the hospital
and into the car...

not to mention the drive over here.

it took us about half an hour.

- I see. And you're the driver.
- Yes.

Nice to meet you.

Have a rest
on the seat over there.

No thanks, I�ll stay here.

is he going to Neuro
for the operation?

Yes, of course.
Did you record him?

- Anyone with him?
- Yes, a sister.

She's coming
from Targu-Mures, tomorrow.

I mean today, at 6:00 AM.

That means he has no one.

I don't understand why
they didn't keep him at Fiiaret.

Did you show them the results,
or did you keep them for yourself?

Of course I showed them,
but the patient didn't agree.

Nobody will ask
for his agreement anymore.

Write him down with Glasgow 8
and call Surgery.

How come it's so quiet?

Our shift is almost over.

We had our daily serving of junkies...

drunks, traumas. Don't you worry.

Hold on.

Put Anghei on.

We had those
from the bus crash as well.

Tough day.

Are you done?
Can she leave?

Mrs. Marioara, tell the boys
to take him to the pre-op room.

Doctor, I�m sending you a SDH.
From Fiiaret.

- is he with someone?
- He has a sister.

She's arriving from Targu-Mures,
around 6:00 AM.

He has a sister arriving
from Targu-Mures.

Yes, it's pretty bad.
I wrote him down as unconscious.

Right away.

62 years old.

I don't know if he's an alcoholic,
but I know he drinks.

Left temporal.

Now, of course.

if I don't send him now,
I won't send him at all.

Can I have this stamped?

I can't find the stamp.

Here it is.

- Thank you.
- Take him to pre-op.

Mrs. Marioara, take care of him.
Clean him...

And shave him for surgery.

When she's ready, take him
and teleport him to Dr Anghei.

Understood?
Come on, quick.

Thank you, good evening.

Wait!

Where's my head...

Give these to Dr Anghei.

Where are you going?
You're done.

They left with our stretcher.

We�ll leave him in pre-op,
take our stretcher and go.

And our stretchers?

Ours are upstairs
and one is in the operating room.

We're just taking him upstairs.

We�ll take him upstairs
and get down right away.

Don't forget the papers.

Excuse me.

Here you are.

They're going to operate,
to cure you.

Stay still, don't move.

Put him there.

Watch his head.

These are Mr. Lasarescu's clothes.

I�ll get the cover off and we�ll go.

Mrs. Marioara.

Cut his hair and shave his head.
And fast, if possible.

God, what a day we had
with that bus accident.

- Can you manage?
- Yes.

These people, driving
without a thought for others.

Yes, you're right.

I�ll be outside, having a smoke.

Out of 14,
only 3 are out of danger.

Good Lord

it was like during the war.

Like the '77 earthquake.

Did the driver survive?

How would I know
which one was the driver?

What a disaster.
Two more days like this...

and they can put me
in the hospital too.

Come on Mrs. Mioara, I�m done.

Good night and good luck.

Watch his legs, he has varicose.

My respects,

What did you do, pops?

Look at your legs.

Easy.

Easy.

Get him a cover.

Give me the alcohol.

There you are, handsome.

I'm ready, Virgil,

Come get him
and take him to Anghei!

I can't stay with him here any longer,,
