You can do it.

You can do it.

You can do it!

as Arthur Boysen

as Julia Boysen

as Dr. Henrik Levi

With 20 messengers on the Chicago Stock Exchange. After a week he acted.

The first million after 2 weeks.

With Russian cucumbers! He got the money in paper bags.

6 months later 3 million in the debit!

The end for everyone, but not for Boysen.

He survived four stock market crashes and made a profit on two.

Nothing can get him dead.

No questions about the person or the business! He hates that.

No photos! He hates that the most.

The shares have to go.

It's going tough. We should help.

Arthur Boysen! Maria Volpini!

Take care of the com tech! Come to my office!

What attracted you to the stock market?

Money.

My father was a small businessman.

Thank you!

When I was 13, I knew either I would stay like him.

Or I'll grow up.

So you are also concerned with power.

If power means that we determine our own lives, then yes.

Not bad!

Fifteen years ago, a woman your age came to me.

She wrote for a women's newspaper.

Your first question was, "Do you believe in fate?"

Hairy!

I looked at them.

I said, "No. But I ask you to be my wife."

2 weeks later we were married.

Dance music.

People! Everyone listen!

Quiet! Music off please!

Are you coming Julia, Stefan, Dodo!

It's about the highlight of the day, the present for our princess.

Elisabeth turns 15 today.

You look at boys or watch a movie from 16.

And ... now comes the hammer!

At 15 you can drive a Vespa!

Thank you!

That can not be true! Men love grand gestures.

We had agreed on a clock.

If only he included me once !

The engine is running.

You should get used to it after 16 years.

He lives his life and somehow organizes me into it.

I can only react. Most recently he bought 2 tickets to Barcelona.

Without asking me beforehand .

Is there anything else to drink?

I'm going.

Thanks, Dodo!

Are you all right? Yes. And you?

Also. I'm getting hungry.

Arthur will probably buy a motorcycle next week.

He uses his time intensively. I admire him.

Most would have surrendered to the disease.

Illness?

What illness, Stefan?

Which illness?

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear Elisabeth!

WHEN? I've never heard of that.

The disease is relatively rare.

This is why the pharmaceutical industry hardly spends any money on research.

Yes ...

There is no antidote.

Mummy! Papa wants to know when the buffet opens.

Is that for me too? Yes.

Is anything?

Tell him we're coming soon!

For how much longer?

6 months.

6 months.

Come over!

Let's make the rats happy!

Line up in rows of two!

The syringes!

You have lost weight. Right?

Unfortunately not. But on the contrary.

But you like me when I get all soft

You only feel like me when there is something to talk about.

That's not fair. We only talked on the wedding night.

About your father.

Don't be kidding about anything!

You talked to Stefan.

Then you will know.

When did you want to talk to me

Do I still play a role in your life, your decisions?

I did not want to worry you. What a crap!

This disease can not simply be defeated.

Should I wait to die while you make me tea?

You don't know anything about ALS.

Then inform me a bit!

I just want to help.

There are many options, just not yet a patented product.

I have a list of specialists. Jochen knows a neurologist.

You talked to Jochen before you talked to me!

Jochen is my lawyer.

"Leads to a loss of function of arms and legs.

This results in a change in living conditions.

A weakness in the breathing muscles that may initially go undetected.

In the advanced stage a life-threatening situation.

If the breathing muscles are attacked, there is a risk of death from suffocation.

There are drugs available to slow the disease down.

But none to stop them. "

Henrik! It's past midnight.

You and I, we did great things today.

And we still have a lot to do.

Do you know why I became your assistant?

Yes. Because you can learn the most from me .

Plus, you don't have to think about where to go on vacation.

Because you don't have time and you can't afford it anyway.

A relationship doesn't stand a chance because you don't have weekends.

I will save you a lot of stress. So be grateful to me!

I'm your assistant because I wanted to sleep with you.

If we hurry with the test, there may be time for it.

When do you submit the application?

In 2 weeks.

Okay.

But please without this circus like the manic-depressive monkey!

The ethics committee put you on the hit list because of your nature.

Bourgeois!

10 Milliliter? 35.

Why are you not with him?

You have to help him.

Your father doesn't want any help.

How can you say such a thing You don't even know him.

I see it in his eyes when he needs me.

You don't wanna see No help! What a crap!

I won't let myself get down. You can count on me.

Stefan!

Hello there!

And?

I've called around the world. They all say the same thing.

Arthur, you should accept it.

Try to relax!

Dr. Wu should come in 5 minutes.

Breathing is important. Listen into yourself!

Sort your life!

You don't have to work anymore. Just cut the stock market clutter!

Use the time with Julia and Elisabeth!

Stop chattering more beautiful dying!

You sound like a brochure for a pottery class in Tuscany.

If I rest, it'll be over soon. There is always a way!

"Not possible" does not exist! So do something for me!

As my doctor and my friend.

Now excuse me The New York Stock Exchange is about to open.

Fuck it all!

He hits the other car.

Someone honks.

Dad is comming!

Hey, Dad!

Hello Princess! Let's go eat?

I cooked.

Pity! We wanted lasagna.

My little!

Maybe you should n't drive any more.

The driver in front of me braked like an idiot. The traffic light showed yellow.

I thought he was going through. That can happen to anybody.

You endanger yourself and others. That can happen to anybody!

You should face reality.

Hausmann calls me the best doctors. Someone will be able to help me.

Now I want to eat lasagna. I love you my sweetheart.

In Germany, research at ALS is still quite early.

Then I'll fly to the USA. To the Mayo Clinic.

There is one exception.

Professor Roth at the university clinic.

Here in Berlin? Are you saying that only now? Give it to me!

Did you submit the application? No not yet.

Why not?

Your therapy will be a milestone in neurology research.

But?

It's still too early.

It has always been said that ALS is incurable.

I only have to successfully treat a subject once .

We call them patients, Henrik.

Treatment at this stage would be like flying blind.

Well! Then I go to the ethics committee myself .

A Herr Boysen is there.

That crazy financier? WHEN?

He demands an appointment. Then give him one!

Now? He's downstairs. Send him to Henrik!

Mr. Boysen! 1st floor, room 118!

Thank you!

Where's the elevator Left.

It’s okay. Thank you!

Arthur Boysen!

You must have heard of me , Professor Roth.

No?

Yes. But I am Henrik Levi.

You are right here.

Levi ...

Jewish.

Monkeys!

An experiment with depressed monkeys that caused a stir.

I removed her thalamus. And? Are you happy now?

I?

The monkeys.

You died of hepatitis a year ago.

Pick up the pen!

Look, I know pretty much all the publications.

And all the well-known neurologists who have dealt with ALS.

So save yourself your gadgets!

I know that a new gene therapy is being worked on here.

On the Nab-3 therapy. This is my development.

Ah, wonderful!

Make me what you want! A turtle, a koala.

But give me the chance!

The Ethics Council has yet to approve the therapy.

There is nothing I can do for you right now.

Is that your father

And.

Do you have a close relationship?

He can't do much with my job.

Why?

He is a rabbi. He believes in fate. Not me.

There are three kinds of people on the stock exchange .

Those who believe, those who lose faith.

And those who don't believe in anything. I am one of them.

I'm so sorry. Still, there is nothing I can do for you.

An emergency signal sounds.

Excuse me!

Dr. Levi!

The matter is not over for me.

Even if my stocks are bad.

I propose a deal.

You need money and a human subject.

I provide both. Me and my money.

Also?

It would be illegal and dangerous.

I would lose my license and you might lose your life quickly.

In a few days I can submit my application.

With luck, it will be approved in a few weeks.

Until then we will examine you and we will prepare everything.

OK? Well.

Tomorrow I'll be giving a fundraising gala. On my own account, so to speak.

I would be happy to see you there.

Until tomorrow!

What are the businesses doing? Everything worked?

Your claim is daring.

Oh! My guest of honor. Pardon!

Julia, my future savior!

Dr. Levi, a gifted neurologist!

My wife Julia!

She believes in fate.

In this case, rightly so.

We know each other from university.

If that's not a sign!

Thank you!

For the benefit!

Arthur, are you coming?

Yes. See you soon!

Are you doing well?

Every time I go to bookstores to see if there's anything from you.

Unfortunately , it wasn't enough to become a writer .

What gets you into a bookstore?

Nobody knew anything for sure when I got back from Boston.

Just that you got married, someone older.

Richer.

Other.

See you again!

The guests applaud.

When I was 10, I was supposed to be writing an essay about my greatest role model.

I took my father, of course.

I knew he would then increase my pocket money.

My daughter.

But he was really my greatest role model, my hero.

Because he knew swear words that no other father knew.

Because he taught me to dance.

And because he could turn Beethoven into the Beatles on the piano .

I would write the essay the same way today.

But I would add one thing.

My father has remained a role model for me .

Because he doesn't give up.

Because he's a fighter.

And because he can still turn Beethoven into a boogie.

He plays the "Moonlight Sonata" by Ludwig van Beethoven.

Your daughter is right. He's a fighter.

His motto is: Better to fail grandly than end up shamefully.

You mean he should still enjoy his days.

He should take care of the things that were neglected so far.

Maybe he doesn't know that something was neglected.

He's playing a boogie.

It no longer hits some notes.

Do you know each other better? We know each other from university.

You said nice.

We were once a couple.

You did for example not said.

My god Arthur! It's been over 20 years.

I'm not saying anything.

And what happened?

Medicine was more important to him.

He got a scholarship to Boston.

Idiot!

But I think he's the one for me.

I haven't reached you for days. Do you want to back down?

I said we'll get in touch.

I cannot stand indecision from my business partners.

We are not business partners.

If you want to be my patient, you have to have time.

I have no time. The deadline is clear.

Time and patience! I need 2 weeks for the serum.

And the commission does not decide beforehand either.

We have to admit you to the hospital for these examinations .

When do you have time? Wonderful!

Ms. Beer, my wife should send me the essentials to the university clinic.

I'll stay here in a moment. Thank you!

This is Madame Curie.

Two months ago she was still paralyzed.

Now she's cycling again.

Did she also have ...?

We could manipulate a polio virus.

He infected the diseased cells directly.

There it produces the saving Nab-3 protein.

How many did it? Nine out of 40.

Maybe it was just luck.

Luck is also part of it.

One of your motto?

At the moment, yes.

By the way, my wife sends her regards.

Dr. Levi said you must be nice and feed me soup.

You get your soup. Until you choke on it!

Elisabeth doesn't understand.

It's hard to live with him without drowning.

Right now with his illness. You have to do something.

What? You can't wait

He's in the clinic , hoping for a miracle.

And I would like so much that he needs me one day.

If not for life, then at least for ...

But? Nothing but.

He does not want to.

Write again!

I can't think of anything.

Your short stories were great. Try it! For my sake!

Arthur's attending physician ...

His doctor is Henrik Levi.

Was?

The man you spent almost a year in the bathtub with?

Who took your heart to Boston?

That asshole? Dodo!

This ass is treating your man now? Yes.

I have to go. I pick up Elisabeth from the dance school.

Julia, look at me!

Do you still have feelings for him?

Thanks for the invitation! I have to go.

Elisabeth going to boarding school?

Oh, Arthur!

Good day!

Today you get your money's worth Four examinations: magnetic resonance, EMG.

Lung function and daily blowing.

You are finally getting going.

Today is the day. The ethics committee decides.

What if she refuses?

Hello!

I come again later.

What's this?

Application documents for Elisabeth's new school.

One of the best in Europe.

You don't trust me to get along with her alone.

Why alone?

Because you're lying in the hospital and your body is breaking down.

At some point I'll be alone with her.

I have a feeling you ca n't go fast enough.

So, what do you look like? How come?

Overworked, tired.

Crap! As always.

But there is something else.

A woman? Nonsense!

She is pretty?

Ringing signal sounds.

The boss!

The ethics committee? Wish me luck!

Declined?

Declined!

Crap!

Those idiots!

Flank! No!

He would have had a chance.

Really?

Wouldn't he just be your guinea pig?

You catch a cold so sweaty. Do I come to your ward then?

Only if you break your leg.

Oh! Maybe tomorrow.

Hello!

You should take it easy. An infection would be fatal.

I have everything under control.

You probably still feel indomitable.

"...bar"!

Was?

It is called "invincible".

It is true.

Mr Boysen, I ...

Henrik, I have a request.

You know Julia.

You probably know that she is a very sensitive person.

She ca n't handle my illness.

Julia ...

A cramp.

Julia is lost without me.

She is afraid.

I think talking to you might be good for her.

Maybe Julia will listen to you.

What should I say to her?

That I'm coming back

That we can do it.

OK. I'm talking to her.

Excuse me!

I did not expect anything else. People don't change.

Are you writing again?

These are little ideas. Sit down!

Coffee?

Coffee please!

Arthur sent you.

He asked me ...

So you're already being sent.

Clear away!

Table!

I eat at the table.

If you keep pampering me, I'll always stay here.

You will leave the clinic. I have an interest in it.

Good day!

Hello princess! N / A?

How are you? Dazzling.

But you look pale.

What about the Gene Kelly number?

Can you Did you practice

Show them to me! No.

Come over! Show what you've learned! I'm counting.

One, two ...

One, two, three. Er singt: "I'm singing in the rain.

Just singing in the rain.

What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again.

I'm laughing at clouds.

So high and above.

The sun is in my heart and I'm ready for love.

Let the stormy clouds chase ..."

You are great!

He probably can't stand the fact that he won't see their wedding.

Elisabeth is his whole pride.

You probably too.

I always come across men who can live well without me.

Or who realize too late that they need you after all.

Well then! Julia ...

You know ...

At first I thought it was some kind of second chance for Arthur.

For both of us.

But I don't believe in a second chance in life.

To be able to use them, people would have to change.

And he can't.

He does everything the same as before.

Do you mean ...?

Would we have been happy?

I hope.

Me too.

A wild night?

What are you doing out here?

October 1987. Does that mean anything to you?

Black Monday.

A week before that, I was doing the business of my life.

I was the greatest.

A blessed one.

I felt unassailable.

I lost respect for the market and failed to notice the signs.

And then there was a bang.

But huge!

I lost almost all of my fortune in one morning .

I was out of the game.

Suddenly one of my dealers yelled like a stick.

At first I thought he was going crazy like the others.

But then something else turned out.

He had made the transactions wrong the previous week.

This idiotic mistake saved us.

Luck! What more do people need? These are your words.

I'm just a trickster

I make you a suggestion.

Don't say it!

He choked and can't breathe.

Take it easy!

The telephone is ringing.

Boysen!

What? Yes. I'll be right there.

You lack the distance to treat him further.

You were like that a beginner can anyone . happen.

Henrik, I won't let him take this case ... from me.

You know what I mean.

Boysen is stable again. But he will die.

We can make the rest of the time more bearable for him . Not more!

Elisabeth, please talk to me! I know you are having a hard time

Soon it will be over.

Elisabeth! Other people have feelings too .

Don't you think it pains me that he's going to die way too soon?

I always loved him.

All of our plans!

What do we do when he dies?

I dont know.

I don't know, princess.

Uniform signal from the monitoring devices.

Very quiet conversation.

He choked and almost choked.

Now he's totally exhausted. He's in a kind of waking coma.

Henrik ...

His condition is stable, but ...

He can't just ...

Without saying goodbye.

I wish I could tell you something else.

Can we stay with him a moment longer?

Of course.

Thank you!

Regular signal from the monitoring instruments.

Ventilator noise.

Dr. Levi! Mr. Boysen wakes up.

Take it easy, take it easy!

It's better that way.

I didn't think he 'd survive.

He has a lot of strength and a family to live for.

Do you want to send him home?

Who is this?

Nobody.

Henrik, what about you?

Nothing!

Nobody, nothing.

You are like my 15 year old brother who sees a disease in life.

You have a brother?

You're not the first to fall in love.

Or unhappily in love.

Unlike most of the others, you can choose.

How are you?

Great.

Do you need anything

Why is everyone asking that?

Why?

Maybe because you 're bedridden.

Because you are seriously ill.

Because people in your situation usually need something.

Newspapers, fruit, other people.

Christ, Arthur!

I have everything.

Then you don't need me either.

I can't go on, Arthur.

You wanna be alone

So i go

I'm going Arthur.

I can't stand your arrogance anymore.

Your damn cynicism.

I can no longer bear to be superfluous.

Henrik, I need to talk to you.

You're welcome!

I wo n't be able to do the surgery .

In other words, you want to kill me.

The Commission has decided. I cannot violate that.

My wife just left me.

I have to at least show her that I ...

I love her

You will help me with that.

We pull the number!

Which number?

The Nab-3 therapy.

You are sick.

Oh really?

They believe that if you are dying you can afford anything.

And as a terminally ill to whom you wanted to relax the woman.

You will save my life.

Then you will face your rival in a fair battle .

Let me go!

Boysen coughs.

If I die today ...

Then I die knowing that my life was worthless.

Nonsense!

You have a wonderful wife.

You love them. Or?

And a daughter!

But I haven't invested in any of these long term.

In no partnership, in no friendship.

I have gambled away the most essential things in life.

You're welcome!

You want something?

Henrik, your application was denied. Where are the last test results?

You know what happens when this comes out.

The test results!

Do you remember what you said when I became your assistant?

That a doctor's responsibility must have limits.

At the time I asked myself whether I could ever separate person and patient.

Where are the documents?

I wondered if I could still live myself in the face of death.

Goodbye Henrik!

Sister Katja!

Can I speak to you for a minute?

I need your help. Now!

You look so beautiful. And so happy.

This is how you will look one day.

Believe me!

Was papa your great love

When I met him ...

I didn't think so straight away. For that he was all the more sure.

Just as safe as today!

Can't you wait till I'm dead

Then it will be too late.

Do not you understand?

It would be a lie.

When I first found out about your illness ...

Something in me was happy for a moment.

I thought, "Now he needs me.

Now something will change. "

But nothing has changed. I can not stand it.

Do you understand?

I don't know what to understand

You are my wife to me.

No, Arthur.

I am not your wife I would have liked to have been.

I am a woman to you.

Do you know why i married you

Because of the dot on my neck? Or the crease in my arm?

No. That's why I love you.

I married you because I thought you would be lost otherwise.

Without me.

And now ...

Now I am asking you to be my wife.

Because I'm lost without you

How long has she been interested in boys?

When I was 15, I also had my first boyfriend.

It's time for me to come home.

When is the procedure actually?

Tonight.

There is no time to think about it.

When I was a student I was at a lecture you gave.

"Stem cells in Parkinson's."

You said a medic is a scientist, not a moralist.

The auditorium went wild.

I have decided.

If it goes wrong, we're both out of the window.

There would be a certain symmetry.

At the time, your lecture prevented me from dropping out of my studies.

Then till tonight!

How do you feel?

How you feel about to be executed, Mr.

We start at 4 a.m. I will explain the measures to you.

There's a little sting now. Head on chest. Dont move!

Crap!

Maybe just a small vein.

Damn! Take a new needle!

That would be the stupidest thing. What do you suggest?

Low control!

OK! Craft hour over! Now your miracle cure!

The cleaning crew comes at 5:30 a.m. We will make it.

Towel!

The solution now washes around the damaged area.

With a spectacular gene therapy , Dr. Henrik Levi success.

He saved the life of the financier Arthur Boysen . A breakthrough!

But does Dr. Pay dearly to Levi? Will your admission be withdrawn?

I don't say anything about that. Wait for the Commission's decision!

Nice that you came!

With pleasure! The last hundred meters are always the hardest.

Did Jesus say that? Carl Lewis before the world record.

Dr. Levi!

Well then!

Good luck!

I have an unpleasant duty to tell you this, Henrik.

Your contract will be terminated on the recommendation of the investigation committee.

They disregarded our ethos and damaged the institute's reputation.

You have broken the trust of your colleagues through your carelessness .

I hope you have considered the consequences of what you did .

Then you will accept our decision.

Would you like to say something else?

Please give me 2 weeks to document my work!

And now ...

Thank you!

The telephone is ringing.

He turns on the answering machine.

Henrik! This is Arthur Boysen.

Perhaps you can tear yourself away from your neurons for an evening.

We would like to invite you to an excursion on Sunday.

Arthur said you have an offer from London.

Yes. I have already given notice of the apartment.

It starts in a month.

Would you come along?

I just had to ask.

I won't go to boarding school in the fall .

I will stay in Berlin and continue to live with you.

What does mom say about that?

What?

They laugh.

He's playing a dreamy piece.

A "Bechstein" played a major role back then.

I was supposed to write about the Berlin Stock Exchange for a women's newspaper.

"The smell of sweaty shirt.

It mixes with the scent of expensive aftershave.

And the smell of fresh coffee. "

"That's how money smells," I thought at the time.

2 weeks later we were married.

Well, you won.

And.

But I owe that to you. Don't forget that!

I would like to examine you again.

No, my dear! I am no longer undressing for you.

Well then!

Never mind! Come here!

After all, nobody has ever sacrificed their job for me.

Do you think you would have been happy with him?

Probably yes.

But then you could n't have made me unhappy.

Party-Music.

Your values ​​have deteriorated radically.

Your nerve cells have renewed themselves , but that was wrong.

You have to go to the hospital right away.

Monitoring equipment signal, ventilator noise.
