1847 VIENNA

4
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:58,333
- Gotcha!
- No! No!

5
00:02:00,041 --> 00:02:01,333
Stop! Stop!

6
00:02:02,833 --> 00:02:03,833
Get in!

7
00:02:07,666 --> 00:02:08,833
No!

8
00:02:11,833 --> 00:02:14,333
Stop it!

9
00:02:14,333 --> 00:02:19,000
No! Please, no!

10
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,375
I won't set a foot inside
that death factory!

11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:23,583
It will be fine.

12
00:02:23,583 --> 00:02:25,625
No! Let me go!

13
00:02:29,083 --> 00:02:30,208
Stop!

14
00:02:34,875 --> 00:02:37,166
No!

15
00:02:42,208 --> 00:02:46,708
Let me go!

16
00:02:46,708 --> 00:02:51,041
- Keep quiet or I'll have to punish you!
- You're breaking my wrist, brute!

17
00:02:51,625 --> 00:02:53,125
What is all this damned noise?

18
00:02:53,125 --> 00:02:55,166
This scamp was going into labor
on the street.

19
00:02:55,833 --> 00:02:57,583
- What should we do with her?
- Let her go!

20
00:02:57,583 --> 00:02:59,416
- But she'll run away.
- Then let her.

21
00:02:59,416 --> 00:03:01,416
Didn't you hear him, you swine?

22
00:03:01,416 --> 00:03:04,083
Sorry, but she can't give birth
on the street.

23
00:03:04,083 --> 00:03:05,250
The regulations forbid it.

24
00:03:05,250 --> 00:03:06,750
I don't care about the regulations.

25
00:03:06,750 --> 00:03:09,666
Either you let her go
or you handle the birth yourselves.

26
00:03:10,791 --> 00:03:12,750
You silly little bitch!

27
00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:13,875
Leave her alone.

28
00:03:13,875 --> 00:03:17,083
- Would you let me to examine you?
- Are you trying to keep me here, too?

29
00:03:17,083 --> 00:03:19,208
Not in the least.
I've seen how you can kick.

30
00:03:19,208 --> 00:03:22,291
I'll just feel your stomach.
After that, you can go where you like.

31
00:03:31,958 --> 00:03:33,041
How old are you?

32
00:03:33,041 --> 00:03:34,416
Twenty-three.

33
00:03:34,416 --> 00:03:36,000
So you could still have children.

34
00:03:36,625 --> 00:03:38,375
It's a pity you won't live to see that.

35
00:03:38,375 --> 00:03:40,458
- What do you mean?
- The baby is in the breech position.

36
00:03:40,458 --> 00:03:42,000
It can't be born without help.

37
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,375
If it was born,

38
00:03:43,375 --> 00:03:46,750
you'd both freeze to death
on the street within a couple of days.

39
00:03:47,666 --> 00:03:49,416
I don't believe you.

40
00:03:49,416 --> 00:03:50,666
That's your business.

41
00:03:51,166 --> 00:03:52,583
Gentlemen, please show the lady out.

42
00:03:52,583 --> 00:03:54,250
I have patients waiting for me.

43
00:03:57,208 --> 00:03:59,625
No! Let me go!

44
00:03:59,625 --> 00:04:01,791
Let me go already!

45
00:04:01,791 --> 00:04:03,000
God bless you, Doctor!

46
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,166
- That's not necessary.
- Thank you.

47
00:04:05,166 --> 00:04:06,458
Wait!

48
00:04:07,666 --> 00:04:10,291
Please wait!

49
00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:17,666
Where have you worked before?

50
00:04:17,666 --> 00:04:19,458
In Saint Rokus Hospital.

51
00:04:20,125 --> 00:04:22,541
Me for five years and my sister for two.

52
00:04:23,875 --> 00:04:27,583
Mainly in the maternity ward,
but we assisted in operating theaters too.

53
00:04:28,958 --> 00:04:30,250
Hungarians.

54
00:04:30,250 --> 00:04:32,250
Yes, but we speak German well.

55
00:04:34,208 --> 00:04:35,708
And where did you come from?

56
00:04:36,625 --> 00:04:38,166
From the Midwife College.

57
00:04:38,166 --> 00:04:40,291
I worked there for three years.

58
00:04:40,916 --> 00:04:42,541
Where is your reference letter?

59
00:04:43,041 --> 00:04:44,208
I didn't get one, sir.

60
00:04:44,208 --> 00:04:46,750
But while I was there, my work was valued.

61
00:04:49,041 --> 00:04:50,125
She was sacked.

62
00:04:50,708 --> 00:04:52,500
I decided to leave.

63
00:04:53,416 --> 00:04:56,375
This woman is Dr. Berger's lover.

64
00:04:58,291 --> 00:05:03,041
Does no one want to work here
other than fallen women and Hungarians?

65
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,708
You two may go.

66
00:05:08,625 --> 00:05:10,000
Miss Hoffmann can stay.

67
00:05:15,333 --> 00:05:17,291
On a probationary period for now.

68
00:05:18,166 --> 00:05:20,208
However, I should warn you that

69
00:05:20,208 --> 00:05:23,458
I will not stand romantic affairs
in my hospital.

70
00:05:23,458 --> 00:05:24,750
Yes, Professor.

71
00:05:24,750 --> 00:05:26,958
I don't care if she's a servant!

72
00:05:26,958 --> 00:05:29,375
Do you want her to give birth
in the corridor?

73
00:05:30,166 --> 00:05:31,750
Her excellency can wait.

74
00:05:32,458 --> 00:05:34,583
What are you staring at? Do your jo--

75
00:05:35,958 --> 00:05:37,416
Then I think we're finished.

76
00:05:44,666 --> 00:05:46,333
Is there anything else?

77
00:05:47,375 --> 00:05:49,500
Yes. I have a sister.

78
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:52,500
She's 13 years old and works as a servant.

79
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:54,750
I would like to bring her with me
if I may.

80
00:05:54,750 --> 00:05:57,625
We're not a hotel of ill repute.

81
00:05:58,750 --> 00:06:01,541
You'll be working
with Teaching Assistant Semmelweis.

82
00:06:01,541 --> 00:06:03,250
Go and report to him.

83
00:06:03,250 --> 00:06:05,041
How will I recognize him?

84
00:06:05,041 --> 00:06:06,916
From his voice.

85
00:06:12,125 --> 00:06:13,125
Thank you.

86
00:06:17,250 --> 00:06:20,875
Doctor, may I ask,
how many have got a fever today?

87
00:06:20,875 --> 00:06:23,958
- What's it to do with you?
- Well, those with a fever today

88
00:06:23,958 --> 00:06:25,791
tend to be my clients the next day.

89
00:06:25,791 --> 00:06:27,875
It's good to know
how many loads I can expect.

90
00:06:27,875 --> 00:06:29,458
Don't you go calculating.

91
00:06:29,958 --> 00:06:32,375
Good thing you don't order
the coffins in advance.

92
00:06:32,375 --> 00:06:34,708
To be honest, I was thinking about that.

93
00:06:34,708 --> 00:06:37,541
- Clear out of here!
- What would you do without me?

94
00:06:37,541 --> 00:06:41,250
- The corridor would be full of corpses.
- The people here are alive, Meyer.

95
00:06:41,250 --> 00:06:42,333
They're alive.

96
00:06:42,916 --> 00:06:44,541
Who permitted you to come to the ward?

97
00:06:45,416 --> 00:06:46,541
Professor Klein.

98
00:06:46,541 --> 00:06:48,583
I don't care what Klein says.

99
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:51,916
Don't let me see you here
until I send for you.

100
00:06:52,958 --> 00:06:54,291
Dr. Semmelweis?

101
00:06:54,291 --> 00:06:55,458
What do you want?

102
00:06:55,458 --> 00:06:57,500
Professor Klein assigned me to you.

103
00:06:58,750 --> 00:07:02,083
Doctor, the young street girl
has begun giving birth.

104
00:07:02,083 --> 00:07:04,083
Dr. Kollár has taken over.

105
00:07:08,750 --> 00:07:10,541
What are you waiting for?
Fetch a basin and follow me.

106
00:07:22,750 --> 00:07:23,750
Push!

107
00:07:27,958 --> 00:07:28,958
More!

108
00:07:31,083 --> 00:07:32,083
Harder!

109
00:07:32,083 --> 00:07:34,916
Call the doctor who admitted me!

110
00:07:34,916 --> 00:07:37,000
Do you think you can choose,
like in a sweet shop?

111
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,458
Just be happy you aren't giving birth
on the canal bank.

112
00:07:39,458 --> 00:07:40,916
- Forceps!
- Don't touch me!

113
00:07:40,916 --> 00:07:43,166
You didn't protest
when you got knocked up.

114
00:07:44,041 --> 00:07:46,083
Strap her down! Strap her down!

115
00:07:48,625 --> 00:07:50,666
What are you doing
with the forceps, Kollár?

116
00:07:50,666 --> 00:07:52,875
I could save at least one of their lives.

117
00:07:52,875 --> 00:07:54,000
Stand aside.

118
00:07:55,083 --> 00:07:56,208
You know what?

119
00:07:56,208 --> 00:07:59,041
You can have this slut
if you want her so badly.

120
00:08:00,958 --> 00:08:02,375
I can hardly feel her pulse.

121
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,125
Listen to me.

122
00:08:04,125 --> 00:08:07,375
When the pain comes,
I am going to press on your stomach.

123
00:08:07,375 --> 00:08:08,875
Don't worry, it'll be fine.

124
00:08:09,416 --> 00:08:12,500
When I tell you,
push with all your might, all right?

125
00:08:13,083 --> 00:08:14,833
Look at me. Look at me.

126
00:08:15,666 --> 00:08:16,791
Look at me.

127
00:08:16,791 --> 00:08:17,916
You can do it.

128
00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:22,958
- What will the child be called?
- I don't know.

129
00:08:25,333 --> 00:08:28,083
You better think quick.
Looks like you have about two minutes.

130
00:08:28,083 --> 00:08:29,500
Come and stand here.

131
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:31,750
Tell me how many centimeters
it's dilating.

132
00:08:31,750 --> 00:08:34,541
Once its leg is out,
gently begin to pull it.

133
00:08:34,541 --> 00:08:35,750
But not too hard.

134
00:08:35,750 --> 00:08:37,416
This isn't my first birth.

135
00:08:37,416 --> 00:08:38,875
It is your first with me.

136
00:08:40,416 --> 00:08:41,416
Now.

137
00:08:42,166 --> 00:08:43,291
Now. Push.

138
00:08:44,583 --> 00:08:45,708
Push.

139
00:08:48,541 --> 00:08:49,666
Push.

140
00:08:52,041 --> 00:08:54,666
Now! More!

141
00:09:08,958 --> 00:09:11,166
So? Have you decided on a name for him?

142
00:09:11,166 --> 00:09:12,708
Little star.

143
00:09:12,708 --> 00:09:14,000
Nice name.

144
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,291
Not very manly, though.

145
00:09:19,458 --> 00:09:21,750
Are you waiting
for the christening as well?

146
00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:23,041
Hurry up.

147
00:09:27,083 --> 00:09:29,958
Get a move on and wash the baby,
help the mother into bed and come.

148
00:09:29,958 --> 00:09:31,458
The day isn't over yet.

149
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:35,166
Go on. I'll do it.

150
00:09:36,791 --> 00:09:38,125
Have you been at an autopsy?

151
00:09:38,125 --> 00:09:39,916
- No, sir.
- Here's your chance.

152
00:09:39,916 --> 00:09:42,000
But I was signed on as a midwife.

153
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,875
I don't deal with dead people.

154
00:09:44,541 --> 00:09:48,125
Pity. Then I'll find someone less choosy.

155
00:09:48,125 --> 00:09:49,833
You mean in my place?

156
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,958
Wait, you can't just throw me out
like that.

157
00:09:52,958 --> 00:09:56,000
I'm qualified, hardworking
and I'll learn anything.

158
00:09:57,125 --> 00:10:00,000
Good. I'll see you Wednesday
in the dissecting room.

159
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,416
Doctor!

160
00:10:01,416 --> 00:10:03,458
Mrs. Haller's fever has leapt up again.

161
00:10:17,125 --> 00:10:18,333
You'll sleep here.

162
00:10:21,583 --> 00:10:24,208
You may have to share with someone else.

163
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,208
- Nice.
- If you say so.

164
00:10:31,791 --> 00:10:33,583
But at least there are no rats.

165
00:10:34,875 --> 00:10:37,208
The bathroom
is at the end of the corridor.

166
00:10:37,208 --> 00:10:38,458
There's no heating.

167
00:10:38,458 --> 00:10:40,375
So hurry when washing.

168
00:10:41,208 --> 00:10:43,541
We don't want you taking up
a patient's bed.

169
00:10:44,458 --> 00:10:47,000
The wake-up call is at 6:00 a.m.
I will knock on your door.

170
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
You must be in the clinic by 7:00 a.m.

171
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,541
You're not allowed visitors.

172
00:10:54,458 --> 00:10:56,208
We close the gate at 9:00 p.m.

173
00:10:56,208 --> 00:10:58,875
If you come after that,
you can sleep on the street.

174
00:11:00,541 --> 00:11:01,666
Thank you.

175
00:11:09,958 --> 00:11:11,458
Who are you looking for, miss?

176
00:11:11,458 --> 00:11:13,625
- Sabina Hoffmann.
- The blind one?

177
00:11:13,625 --> 00:11:14,708
She's upstairs.

178
00:11:14,708 --> 00:11:16,041
Ouch! This hurts!

179
00:11:16,541 --> 00:11:18,916
Ouch! No!

180
00:11:38,708 --> 00:11:40,833
- Did you get the job?
- Yes.

181
00:11:40,833 --> 00:11:42,625
- Will you get me out?
- Not yet.

182
00:11:42,625 --> 00:11:46,291
But I will soon save enough money
to rent a little flat somewhere,

183
00:11:46,291 --> 00:11:47,541
all right?

184
00:11:47,541 --> 00:11:48,666
Where are your glasses?

185
00:11:48,666 --> 00:11:49,958
They broke.

186
00:11:49,958 --> 00:11:53,166
Sabina, they cost a fortune.
Can't you look after them better?

187
00:11:53,166 --> 00:11:55,666
One of the girls stepped on them.
I couldn't see well with them anyway.

188
00:11:55,666 --> 00:11:57,833
All right, don't make a sad face.

189
00:11:57,833 --> 00:12:00,958
- Look at what I've got in my pocket.
- Sweets?

190
00:12:02,625 --> 00:12:04,458
These three are honey, this--

191
00:12:05,041 --> 00:12:06,750
- What is this?
- Nothing.

192
00:12:06,750 --> 00:12:08,125
Have they hurt you again?

193
00:12:08,625 --> 00:12:10,458
I accidentally knocked down
the butter dish

194
00:12:10,458 --> 00:12:12,458
and Frau Gruber got very angry.

195
00:12:12,458 --> 00:12:14,875
I'll take you away from here
as soon as I can,

196
00:12:14,875 --> 00:12:16,333
all right?

197
00:12:16,333 --> 00:12:18,083
I can't wait.

198
00:12:42,125 --> 00:12:44,041
Are you coming like that?

199
00:12:44,958 --> 00:12:47,666
The Hungarian company in the Prater.
We have to be there by 8:00 p.m.

200
00:12:47,666 --> 00:12:48,750
I can't go.

201
00:12:48,750 --> 00:12:50,583
Two more have got a fever.

202
00:12:50,583 --> 00:12:53,125
- Kollár's on duty, isn't he?
- Yes.

203
00:12:54,083 --> 00:12:55,875
He's sleeping in the doctors' room.

204
00:12:56,708 --> 00:12:58,500
You have a life to live.

205
00:12:59,083 --> 00:13:01,458
After the theater,
we're dining in the Muskátli.

206
00:13:01,458 --> 00:13:03,041
Their roast duck is heavenly.

207
00:13:03,041 --> 00:13:04,500
At least make it there.

208
00:13:05,458 --> 00:13:06,583
Have fun.

209
00:13:07,875 --> 00:13:11,666
Up to you. But I don't want to be late
for Róza Laborfalvi.

210
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:14,916
Dr. Kolletschka is right.

211
00:13:16,125 --> 00:13:17,958
You'll ruin your health like this.

212
00:13:18,875 --> 00:13:20,250
If you want my opinion...

213
00:13:20,250 --> 00:13:21,750
I don't.

214
00:13:21,750 --> 00:13:24,166
Go and change the compress on Mrs. Müller.

215
00:13:27,416 --> 00:13:29,833
I said go and change the compress on her.

216
00:13:36,166 --> 00:13:39,166
Sadly, three more mothers
have got a fever.

217
00:13:43,208 --> 00:13:44,583
When did she give birth?

218
00:13:45,791 --> 00:13:47,000
Two days ago.

219
00:13:52,541 --> 00:13:53,583
Professor.

220
00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:55,708
Am I going to recover?

221
00:13:57,458 --> 00:13:59,708
We are all in God's hands.

222
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:10,916
What are you doing with that hanky?

223
00:14:10,916 --> 00:14:12,875
Get a wet sheet
and put it over her whole body.

224
00:14:12,875 --> 00:14:14,916
- Change it every ten minutes.
- What for?

225
00:14:14,916 --> 00:14:16,583
Anyone can see she has had it.

226
00:14:16,583 --> 00:14:19,375
I'll wring your neck
if you don't do that right away.

227
00:14:25,416 --> 00:14:28,458
We'll bring your temperature down
and you'll feel better.

228
00:14:28,458 --> 00:14:30,000
Hang in there.

229
00:14:30,500 --> 00:14:31,750
Thank you.

230
00:15:16,583 --> 00:15:18,125
We start at 7:00 a.m.!

231
00:15:18,125 --> 00:15:20,166
I thought you could at least
remember that.

232
00:15:20,166 --> 00:15:24,458
Sorry, Matron, I sent the new girl
to the laundry for fresh sheets.

233
00:15:24,458 --> 00:15:27,041
Don't dump your work on others.

234
00:15:28,250 --> 00:15:30,333
Now hurry up.

235
00:15:34,250 --> 00:15:36,041
- Júlia.
- Emma.

236
00:15:36,041 --> 00:15:37,250
You saved me.

237
00:15:37,250 --> 00:15:38,666
From her, for now, yes.

238
00:15:38,666 --> 00:15:40,833
But Semmelweis will have your head off.

239
00:15:40,833 --> 00:15:43,625
He's through the roof
since this epidemic has been raging.

240
00:15:44,541 --> 00:15:45,541
Come!

241
00:15:49,833 --> 00:15:52,166
- Where the hell have you been?
- I asked her--

242
00:15:52,666 --> 00:15:53,666
Get me a cloth!

243
00:15:54,458 --> 00:15:57,791
Stuff her mouth so she can't bite
her tongue but can still breathe.

244
00:15:58,291 --> 00:15:59,291
Febrile seizure?

245
00:16:21,208 --> 00:16:22,333
You're too late.

246
00:16:27,708 --> 00:16:29,250
Another patient has a fever.

247
00:16:40,416 --> 00:16:42,833
Why did I ever listen to you?

248
00:16:44,833 --> 00:16:46,791
You're all charlatans!

249
00:16:49,625 --> 00:16:52,000
I don't want to die.

250
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,458
Get back into bed.
You're not helping yourself.

251
00:16:55,583 --> 00:16:58,833
They'll bury me without a priest,
like a whore.

252
00:16:58,833 --> 00:17:00,458
Try to get some rest.

253
00:17:00,458 --> 00:17:03,750
Please, miss, find a nurse for my son!

254
00:17:03,750 --> 00:17:04,833
I...

255
00:17:05,333 --> 00:17:08,375
If he isn't nursed,
he won't survive the orphanage.

256
00:17:10,291 --> 00:17:14,625
Please don't let him die, please!

257
00:17:14,625 --> 00:17:17,208
All right. But try to rest a little.

258
00:17:17,208 --> 00:17:18,875
Promise!

259
00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:20,791
I promise.

260
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,291
Are you out of your mind?

261
00:17:24,250 --> 00:17:26,541
Why did you make a promise you can't keep?

262
00:17:26,541 --> 00:17:28,041
She has only minutes to live.

263
00:17:28,041 --> 00:17:29,583
What else could I say?

264
00:17:29,583 --> 00:17:31,291
You haven't come here
as a Sister of Mercy.

265
00:17:31,291 --> 00:17:32,833
People die here. Get used to it.

266
00:17:32,833 --> 00:17:35,291
I worked in the Midwife Center
for three years.

267
00:17:35,291 --> 00:17:36,916
I've seen enough of that there.

268
00:17:36,916 --> 00:17:38,583
And did you adopt every orphan there?

269
00:17:38,583 --> 00:17:40,500
I didn't need to.

270
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:42,583
Not so many died there as they do here.

271
00:17:54,833 --> 00:17:56,833
It is going to the paupers' grave.

272
00:17:58,916 --> 00:17:59,916
Good morning.

273
00:18:01,041 --> 00:18:02,041
Stop.

274
00:18:03,083 --> 00:18:06,250
How much would a separate grave cost
if a priest is called out?

275
00:18:06,250 --> 00:18:07,416
Five gulden.

276
00:18:12,625 --> 00:18:15,166
If you're paying for the ceremony,
it's six.

277
00:18:17,166 --> 00:18:18,875
Are you having fun, Meyer?

278
00:18:18,875 --> 00:18:20,833
Would you allow me to sort this out?

279
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,041
Take it and tell me when the funeral is.

280
00:18:29,791 --> 00:18:31,208
Godforsaken nutter.

281
00:18:32,416 --> 00:18:33,791
I've always said so.

282
00:18:33,791 --> 00:18:36,583
...besides periods, frequent intercourse...

283
00:18:38,666 --> 00:18:43,291
ratio of body fluids,

284
00:18:43,291 --> 00:18:47,708
I see two causes for the epidemic.

285
00:18:47,708 --> 00:18:50,208
One is the position of the planets,

286
00:18:50,208 --> 00:18:52,916
which has an unfavorable effect
on the patients.

287
00:18:53,916 --> 00:18:59,250
Many more die at the full moon
than at the new moon.

288
00:18:59,250 --> 00:19:00,333
Yes.

289
00:19:01,083 --> 00:19:02,833
The other is fear.

290
00:19:03,833 --> 00:19:05,583
If a mother is afraid,

291
00:19:06,083 --> 00:19:09,208
that saps her strength
and makes her defenseless

292
00:19:09,208 --> 00:19:11,416
in the face of the murderous disease...

293
00:19:11,416 --> 00:19:14,166
Sorry, Professor,
could you spare a minute?

294
00:19:14,166 --> 00:19:17,625
Semmelweis, in Budapest
do they not teach you to knock?

295
00:19:19,625 --> 00:19:21,375
- Can't it wait?
- No.

296
00:19:29,541 --> 00:19:32,166
Continue studying the next chapter.

297
00:19:36,458 --> 00:19:37,958
- What do you want?
- Professor,

298
00:19:37,958 --> 00:19:40,375
I would like to look at
last years' dissection records.

299
00:19:40,375 --> 00:19:42,250
- Can't you sleep?
- Can you?

300
00:19:42,250 --> 00:19:44,291
Two or three patients die every day.

301
00:19:44,291 --> 00:19:46,833
Do you think this epidemic leaves me cold?

302
00:19:46,833 --> 00:19:48,666
If it is an epidemic.

303
00:19:49,416 --> 00:19:50,583
What else could it be?

304
00:19:50,583 --> 00:19:53,375
What kind of epidemic is it
that only rages inside the clinic?

305
00:19:53,375 --> 00:19:56,791
- There are casualties elsewhere too.
- But not as many as here.

306
00:19:56,791 --> 00:19:59,708
Professor, if I could compare
the mortality details for the clinic

307
00:19:59,708 --> 00:20:01,000
and the Midwife College,

308
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,791
perhaps it would show
what we're doing wrong.

309
00:20:02,791 --> 00:20:06,666
Surely you are not suggesting that we go
to the Midwife College for medical advice?

310
00:20:07,250 --> 00:20:09,458
If it helps us save lives, why not?

311
00:20:10,125 --> 00:20:11,875
Because it discredits me.

312
00:20:13,208 --> 00:20:15,458
If you can't stand death, Semmelweis,

313
00:20:16,291 --> 00:20:17,875
find a different career.

314
00:20:17,875 --> 00:20:21,291
And don't go bothering me
in the middle of teaching again.

315
00:21:35,416 --> 00:21:36,416
Sorry.

316
00:21:36,416 --> 00:21:39,125
Come on in. I'll be finished in a minute.

317
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,625
- Well done, surviving your first day.
- Thanks to you.

318
00:21:48,333 --> 00:21:50,625
I suspect the Matron "forgot"
to wake you up.

319
00:21:51,791 --> 00:21:53,041
Don't take it personally.

320
00:21:53,541 --> 00:21:55,833
She doesn't like pretty girls,
especially if--

321
00:21:55,833 --> 00:21:57,375
If what?

322
00:21:58,416 --> 00:22:01,250
- Nothing.
- If they have a bad reputation?

323
00:22:02,250 --> 00:22:06,125
They say that at the Midwife College
you were the director's lover.

324
00:22:06,125 --> 00:22:07,333
They do say that.

325
00:22:07,916 --> 00:22:10,000
Don't worry, I don't care.

326
00:22:11,083 --> 00:22:12,791
I have a suitor too.

327
00:22:13,458 --> 00:22:15,416
An officer.

328
00:22:15,416 --> 00:22:17,041
He once took me to the Prater,

329
00:22:17,958 --> 00:22:19,625
and then took me out to dinner.

330
00:22:21,916 --> 00:22:25,458
Don't worry about the Matron.
She'll leave you be.

331
00:22:25,458 --> 00:22:29,083
She's just afraid you're danger
to her Semmelweis.

332
00:22:29,083 --> 00:22:31,250
She can have him, for all I care.

333
00:22:31,250 --> 00:22:34,375
He's hated me from the start.

334
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,625
He's like that with everyone.
At least he says what he thinks.

335
00:22:40,625 --> 00:22:41,708
Lavender?

336
00:22:42,708 --> 00:22:43,875
Can I smell it?

337
00:22:48,875 --> 00:22:51,583
We only get laundry soap here.

338
00:22:51,583 --> 00:22:52,833
You can keep it.

339
00:22:53,750 --> 00:22:54,750
Really?

340
00:22:55,958 --> 00:22:56,958
Thank you.

341
00:23:07,208 --> 00:23:09,625
You can cook for yourself
if you're so fussy.

342
00:23:09,625 --> 00:23:12,583
I made your favorite
and you haven't even touched it.

343
00:23:12,583 --> 00:23:16,166
- Just leave it here. I'll eat it later.
- It's not worth eating cold.

344
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:20,708
And besides...

345
00:23:22,833 --> 00:23:26,583
...I don't want to interfere, no,

346
00:23:26,583 --> 00:23:29,208
but you are a doctor... and you look,

347
00:23:30,083 --> 00:23:32,875
no offense, like a sleepwalker.

348
00:23:32,875 --> 00:23:34,541
You don't eat, you don't sleep.

349
00:23:34,541 --> 00:23:36,291
You could at least go to a barber.

350
00:23:36,291 --> 00:23:41,041
Tell me, Gertrúd,
what do they say about the clinic in town?

351
00:23:41,041 --> 00:23:42,125
Well,

352
00:23:42,625 --> 00:23:45,666
that there are a lot
of knowledgeable doctors there.

353
00:23:45,666 --> 00:23:48,000
But I reckon they look after themselves.

354
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,208
Would you give birth there?

355
00:23:49,875 --> 00:23:51,333
What are you talking about?

356
00:23:51,333 --> 00:23:53,750
Men don't look at me anymore.

357
00:23:55,166 --> 00:23:57,625
If it was your daughter,
where would you send her

358
00:23:58,750 --> 00:23:59,875
to give birth?

359
00:23:59,875 --> 00:24:03,000
If you forgive my saying so,
to the Midwife College for sure.

360
00:24:03,916 --> 00:24:05,166
Why not the clinic?

361
00:24:05,666 --> 00:24:10,666
They say that women who go in there
are brought out in a coffin.

362
00:24:13,083 --> 00:24:14,125
Good night now.

363
00:24:17,958 --> 00:24:20,083
Don't work all night again

364
00:24:20,875 --> 00:24:22,625
because you'll ruin your eyes.

365
00:24:41,125 --> 00:24:42,375
Enough!

366
00:24:42,958 --> 00:24:44,541
Get a move on, Meyer.

367
00:24:44,541 --> 00:24:46,125
Baumgartner is coming shortly.

368
00:24:46,125 --> 00:24:48,791
All I need is for a cart full of corpses
to welcome him.

369
00:24:48,791 --> 00:24:51,208
Tell that to this old nag.

370
00:24:52,333 --> 00:24:54,375
Professor. With respect.

371
00:24:54,875 --> 00:24:57,291
He comes now of all times.

372
00:24:57,291 --> 00:24:59,791
Don't worry, Baumgartner doesn't know
anything about medicine.

373
00:24:59,791 --> 00:25:01,708
But he knows about politics.

374
00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:04,333
And at present,
our reputation is pretty poor.

375
00:25:04,333 --> 00:25:06,625
We only have two patients with a fever.

376
00:25:06,625 --> 00:25:09,041
I've placed them in a separate room.

377
00:25:09,041 --> 00:25:11,750
If they don't die right under our noses,
everything will be fine.

378
00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:14,875
I hope so.
Otherwise, my support is all gone.

379
00:25:20,666 --> 00:25:22,791
Greetings, Councillor!

380
00:25:25,416 --> 00:25:26,833
Good day.

381
00:25:27,458 --> 00:25:28,875
- Good day.
- Good day.

382
00:25:34,250 --> 00:25:37,625
You can see that our patients
are in good hands.

383
00:25:37,625 --> 00:25:40,500
With the odd unfortunate exception,

384
00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:44,625
the mothers leave the clinic
with their babies in their arms.

385
00:25:44,625 --> 00:25:49,458
Our doctors, especially the Austrian
specialists we have, are excellent...

386
00:25:49,458 --> 00:25:51,958
What's the name of that daredevil?

387
00:25:53,250 --> 00:25:54,500
Who do you mean?

388
00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:57,958
The Hungarian
who everyone wants when giving birth.

389
00:25:57,958 --> 00:26:00,666
Semmelweis? He mainly handles autopsies.

390
00:26:00,666 --> 00:26:04,875
And where is this Semmelweis?

391
00:26:04,875 --> 00:26:06,458
In the dissecting room.

392
00:26:06,458 --> 00:26:07,833
Where else?

393
00:26:08,833 --> 00:26:12,250
But I wouldn't advise going there
after lunch.

394
00:26:13,083 --> 00:26:14,833
Don't you worry on my behalf.

395
00:26:30,125 --> 00:26:32,208
The cause of death
is inflammation of the lymph glands,

396
00:26:32,208 --> 00:26:34,708
pus-filled metastasis and meningitis.

397
00:26:34,708 --> 00:26:36,708
She was healthy when she arrived
at the clinic,

398
00:26:36,708 --> 00:26:38,291
I examined her myself.

399
00:26:38,291 --> 00:26:40,916
After she gave birth came the usual fever,

400
00:26:40,916 --> 00:26:44,000
stomach pains,
and finally a state of shock.

401
00:26:54,083 --> 00:26:55,208
Please continue,

402
00:26:55,750 --> 00:26:57,583
as if we weren't here.

403
00:27:14,791 --> 00:27:15,833
Do you see?

404
00:27:16,791 --> 00:27:18,666
The uterus is full of pus.

405
00:27:19,750 --> 00:27:22,083
The question, of course, is why.

406
00:27:22,083 --> 00:27:24,000
Hold it to your nose.

407
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,541
It will take away the unpleasant smell.

408
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:33,083
Are you all right, young lady?

409
00:27:33,083 --> 00:27:35,250
- Pull yourself together.
- Sorry.

410
00:27:35,250 --> 00:27:38,250
Sit down before you faint on us.

411
00:27:38,250 --> 00:27:40,250
Why are you torturing your colleagues,
Semmelweis?

412
00:27:40,250 --> 00:27:41,916
Why don't you use wax dummies
like everyone else?

413
00:27:41,916 --> 00:27:45,333
When wax dummies come to us
to give birth, I will take your advice.

414
00:27:45,333 --> 00:27:49,708
Tell me, Semmelweis,
what did this poor creature die of?

415
00:27:50,708 --> 00:27:52,000
Puerperal fever.

416
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,500
There isn't a hospital
that doesn't suffer from it.

417
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:56,416
Blast this epidemic!

418
00:27:57,333 --> 00:28:00,541
They say that more are dying here
than elsewhere.

419
00:28:00,541 --> 00:28:01,500
This is just idle talk.

420
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:04,000
We do not know the mortality figures
for other hospitals.

421
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,750
But we do know that in the clinic

422
00:28:05,750 --> 00:28:09,166
deaths are double
what they were four years ago.

423
00:28:09,166 --> 00:28:12,833
If we compared the mortality figures
for the clinic and the Midwife Center...

424
00:28:12,833 --> 00:28:14,041
What's the point of that?

425
00:28:14,041 --> 00:28:16,166
For example,

426
00:28:16,166 --> 00:28:19,375
we could stop the idle talk, right?

427
00:28:21,541 --> 00:28:23,708
Continue with your research, Semmelweis,

428
00:28:23,708 --> 00:28:27,708
and report to Professor Klein.

429
00:28:29,166 --> 00:28:32,458
If the councillor so wishes...

430
00:28:35,291 --> 00:28:38,916
Old chap, you know how to make
the management angry.

431
00:28:38,916 --> 00:28:42,666
Did you have to shame the poor wretch
in front of Baumgartner?

432
00:28:42,666 --> 00:28:45,250
Would you rather that
I watch every tenth patient dying?

433
00:28:45,250 --> 00:28:47,500
Look at it this way. Nine survive.

434
00:28:47,500 --> 00:28:49,083
You can't do anything about the others.

435
00:28:49,083 --> 00:28:51,875
At university,
we dreamed about working here.

436
00:28:51,875 --> 00:28:54,125
Ignác, don't you remember?

437
00:28:54,125 --> 00:28:55,791
I dreamed about saving lives.

438
00:28:56,625 --> 00:28:57,791
Oh, Ignác.

439
00:28:57,791 --> 00:29:00,750
We're in Vienna. The restaurants are good,
the girls are beautiful.

440
00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:02,541
And you can work with your friends.

441
00:29:02,541 --> 00:29:04,375
Why can't you enjoy yourself a bit?

442
00:29:06,166 --> 00:29:09,750
Because every night I dream
about those mothers who died in my hands.

443
00:29:09,750 --> 00:29:13,000
If you get yourself kicked out,
you won't save a single life.

444
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,625
How dare you chop open my wife like that?

445
00:29:19,083 --> 00:29:20,750
Sorry.

446
00:29:20,750 --> 00:29:23,791
- I had to find out what caused her death.
- You did! You caused it.

447
00:29:23,791 --> 00:29:26,958
First you killed her,
now you cut her up like a piece of meat?

448
00:29:26,958 --> 00:29:30,750
We do autopsies,
so that less mothers will die.

449
00:29:30,750 --> 00:29:33,916
I hope you rot in hell.
What you're doing is a crime against God!

450
00:29:33,916 --> 00:29:36,583
- Let me go!
- Calm down! Calm down!

451
00:29:36,583 --> 00:29:39,708
Murderers! You're all murderers!

452
00:29:39,708 --> 00:29:42,500
I'm coming back to find you, Semmelweis!

453
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:43,791
Do you hear?

454
00:29:49,416 --> 00:29:50,625
A pretzel, miss?

455
00:29:50,625 --> 00:29:52,125
Miss Hoffmann!

456
00:29:52,750 --> 00:29:54,083
Pretzels!

457
00:29:54,083 --> 00:29:55,375
Fresh and crisp!

458
00:29:56,166 --> 00:29:57,500
Are you feeling better?

459
00:29:57,500 --> 00:30:00,125
Of course. I just got dizzy.

460
00:30:00,125 --> 00:30:01,625
It won't happen again.

461
00:30:01,625 --> 00:30:05,250
The dissecting room is no place
for a delicate lady like yourself.

462
00:30:05,250 --> 00:30:09,208
Did you know that it takes days to wash
the stench of corpses from your hands?

463
00:30:09,708 --> 00:30:11,958
So, how do you get on with Semmelweis?

464
00:30:12,625 --> 00:30:15,416
I'm rushing because of him.
It's hard to meet his expectations.

465
00:30:15,416 --> 00:30:17,041
No need to be polite,

466
00:30:17,041 --> 00:30:19,458
we all know he's a troublesome character.

467
00:30:19,458 --> 00:30:21,583
I'd rather say dedicated.

468
00:30:21,583 --> 00:30:25,083
Anyway, I hope he won't be here for long.

469
00:30:25,083 --> 00:30:28,583
I can foresee a fine future
for you here at the clinic.

470
00:30:29,291 --> 00:30:30,833
Even as matron.

471
00:30:31,958 --> 00:30:34,083
I've only been here for two weeks.

472
00:30:34,083 --> 00:30:35,583
Don't be so modest.

473
00:30:35,583 --> 00:30:37,208
You're a clever girl.

474
00:30:37,208 --> 00:30:39,083
Professor Klein saw that too.

475
00:30:39,916 --> 00:30:43,375
That's why he's asking you
to keep an eye on Semmelweis.

476
00:30:44,333 --> 00:30:45,875
What do you mean by that?

477
00:30:45,875 --> 00:30:47,375
That I should report on him?

478
00:30:48,708 --> 00:30:50,375
Why? Is there anything to report?

479
00:30:52,583 --> 00:30:54,083
I am not an informer.

480
00:30:55,333 --> 00:30:56,541
No, of course not.

481
00:30:57,958 --> 00:31:00,000
I'd merely want us to help each other.

482
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,500
You help me and I help you.

483
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:04,166
- Like two good friends.
- We aren't friends.

484
00:31:04,166 --> 00:31:05,583
But we still could be.

485
00:31:05,583 --> 00:31:09,291
I think you'll like me if I tell you
what I've managed to arrange.

486
00:31:10,125 --> 00:31:13,541
I know your sister lives
in difficult circumstances.

487
00:31:15,083 --> 00:31:19,250
I can arrange for her to move
into the nurses' hostel.

488
00:31:19,250 --> 00:31:23,916
Indeed, if she's up to working as well,
there might be a little pay for her too.

489
00:31:23,916 --> 00:31:29,583
In return, all you have to do is tell me
if Semmelweis does anything crazy.

490
00:31:30,541 --> 00:31:33,083
Is there anything you'd like to
share with me?

491
00:31:45,208 --> 00:31:47,708
You broke into the archives?

492
00:31:47,708 --> 00:31:49,500
I needed the dissection records.

493
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:51,416
And you don't even deny it?

494
00:31:51,416 --> 00:31:53,250
We could sack you for that.

495
00:31:53,250 --> 00:31:56,000
- I'll pay for the damage.
- It's not about the lock,

496
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,958
but the fact that
you went against my orders.

497
00:31:59,666 --> 00:32:01,625
What are you trying to achieve?

498
00:32:01,625 --> 00:32:04,458
To see what we are doing wrong.

499
00:32:04,458 --> 00:32:06,291
We're not doing anything wrong!

500
00:32:07,375 --> 00:32:10,250
And you'll realize this soon enough.

501
00:32:11,333 --> 00:32:14,125
Off you go and dig around
at the Midwife College,

502
00:32:14,750 --> 00:32:17,541
since you've already sorted this
with Baumgartner.

503
00:32:18,291 --> 00:32:20,625
Thank you, Professor.

504
00:32:23,750 --> 00:32:27,708
And rein in your spending.

505
00:32:27,708 --> 00:32:31,708
I'll have to suspend your pay
for the next two months.

506
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,500
The mourners here...

507
00:32:44,333 --> 00:32:47,041
accompany her on her last journey
on this earth.

508
00:32:48,625 --> 00:32:52,833
For this journey is one we must all make.

509
00:32:55,416 --> 00:32:58,083
A journey we tread that leads

510
00:32:58,875 --> 00:33:00,875
to a grave soaked in tears.

511
00:33:14,125 --> 00:33:16,166
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

512
00:33:16,166 --> 00:33:19,708
May you wear the cross
of our Lord Jesus Christ.

513
00:33:33,458 --> 00:33:34,708
What are you doing here?

514
00:33:36,291 --> 00:33:37,500
Nothing better to do?

515
00:33:38,666 --> 00:33:39,791
And you?

516
00:33:46,625 --> 00:33:48,583
Have you found a nurse for the child?

517
00:33:48,583 --> 00:33:49,666
Yes.

518
00:33:50,500 --> 00:33:52,125
There is a woman on Herrengasse.

519
00:33:52,958 --> 00:33:55,458
She gave birth recently
and has plenty of milk,

520
00:33:55,458 --> 00:33:57,750
easily enough for two.

521
00:33:58,416 --> 00:34:01,000
But I can't afford that on my pay.

522
00:34:04,416 --> 00:34:05,416
Here.

523
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Add this to it.

524
00:34:09,166 --> 00:34:10,791
It should be enough for a while.

525
00:34:17,666 --> 00:34:20,291
And if possible,
don't mention this at the clinic.

526
00:34:20,875 --> 00:34:23,458
Why? In case they think you have a heart?

527
00:34:25,083 --> 00:34:26,500
It's none of their business.

528
00:34:27,416 --> 00:34:29,416
It's not yours either, but you're here.

529
00:34:34,125 --> 00:34:35,333
Tell me,

530
00:34:35,916 --> 00:34:38,250
why do you care about a stranger's child?

531
00:34:40,791 --> 00:34:43,291
I know what it's like
growing up as an orphan.

532
00:34:44,083 --> 00:34:45,708
You have no relatives?

533
00:34:45,708 --> 00:34:46,833
A sister.

534
00:34:49,666 --> 00:34:50,666
And you?

535
00:34:51,166 --> 00:34:52,250
Why are you here?

536
00:34:54,625 --> 00:34:57,541
I have almost as many patients here
as ones that are alive.

537
00:34:59,250 --> 00:35:00,916
It's not your fault.

538
00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:03,416
Nature makes women this way.

539
00:35:04,083 --> 00:35:07,250
Giving birth is what we do,
even if it costs us our lives.

540
00:35:08,666 --> 00:35:10,458
And if this isn't nature's way?

541
00:35:12,791 --> 00:35:14,375
If we're making a mistake?

542
00:35:16,333 --> 00:35:17,666
Everyone says...

543
00:35:18,750 --> 00:35:20,375
you can get used to death.

544
00:35:27,250 --> 00:35:28,708
If only I knew how.

545
00:35:52,791 --> 00:35:54,875
Who is this Dr. Kollár?

546
00:35:54,875 --> 00:35:56,666
A doctor at the clinic.

547
00:35:59,041 --> 00:36:00,500
Look where you're going!

548
00:36:03,375 --> 00:36:04,833
And why is he helping us?

549
00:36:04,833 --> 00:36:07,625
Sabina, if you don't want us
to be thrown out of here,

550
00:36:07,625 --> 00:36:09,666
you mustn't talk about this to anyone.

551
00:36:14,625 --> 00:36:18,500
- Is he courting you?
- What? Of course not, for heaven's sake.

552
00:36:18,500 --> 00:36:19,666
Is he handsome?

553
00:36:19,666 --> 00:36:21,208
Be quiet!

554
00:36:21,208 --> 00:36:23,666
I'm already regretting bringing you here.

555
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:27,125
Will it be just us two here?

556
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,458
Can I sleep by the window?

557
00:36:29,458 --> 00:36:32,083
Only if you don't talk any more today.

558
00:36:35,416 --> 00:36:37,250
Gentlemen, what would you like?

559
00:36:37,250 --> 00:36:38,666
Three set lunches, please.

560
00:36:38,666 --> 00:36:40,666
Just two. And a coffee.

561
00:36:40,666 --> 00:36:43,041
Bring three. I'll eat the third one.

562
00:36:43,041 --> 00:36:45,416
And a bacon omelet with toast.

563
00:36:45,416 --> 00:36:47,458
I recommend
the house sausage with it, sir.

564
00:36:48,333 --> 00:36:50,250
We might as well go the whole hog.

565
00:36:50,750 --> 00:36:52,583
Let's have a strudel as well.

566
00:36:53,083 --> 00:36:54,250
Coming right up.

567
00:36:54,250 --> 00:36:56,750
Talking of hogs, Jakob, you've become one.

568
00:36:57,666 --> 00:36:59,416
You don't know what's good.

569
00:37:00,416 --> 00:37:02,041
Actually, we do.

570
00:37:02,541 --> 00:37:04,916
That new girl is a looker.
What's she called?

571
00:37:04,916 --> 00:37:06,416
Save your energy.

572
00:37:06,416 --> 00:37:10,041
She's an echt Austrian
and won't waste her time on Hungarians.

573
00:37:10,041 --> 00:37:11,791
Do you think she likes Czechs?

574
00:37:11,791 --> 00:37:15,791
I don't know about Czechs,
but Czech Jews, maybe.

575
00:37:15,791 --> 00:37:17,625
Let's bet on that.

576
00:37:17,625 --> 00:37:20,083
Don't you have anything better
to amuse yourselves with?

577
00:37:20,083 --> 00:37:21,291
Why?

578
00:37:21,833 --> 00:37:23,875
Do you fancy her, Ignác?

579
00:37:23,875 --> 00:37:27,750
- I don't go for nurses.
- They say she was Berger's lover.

580
00:37:27,750 --> 00:37:30,250
I certainly don't go for nurses
of ill repute.

581
00:37:30,250 --> 00:37:31,666
But those are the best.

582
00:37:31,666 --> 00:37:35,916
Lonely, in need of comforting,
but they know the ropes.

583
00:37:36,791 --> 00:37:39,458
Kollár isn't so fussy.

584
00:37:47,208 --> 00:37:48,208
Are you coming?

585
00:37:54,125 --> 00:37:57,125
Since you left,
Berger has become even more unbearable.

586
00:37:57,125 --> 00:37:59,958
Barbara, this is Dr. Semmelweis.

587
00:38:00,458 --> 00:38:01,833
Barbara.

588
00:38:02,583 --> 00:38:07,083
Professor Berger asked me to show you
around and answer all your questions.

589
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:10,291
How long do you intend to be here?

590
00:38:10,875 --> 00:38:12,458
Until we are finished.

591
00:38:13,166 --> 00:38:15,375
The wards are in the right wing,

592
00:38:15,375 --> 00:38:17,666
the storage room and offices are that way.

593
00:38:25,125 --> 00:38:26,958
How many patients are on a ward?

594
00:38:26,958 --> 00:38:28,291
Ten, twelve.

595
00:38:28,291 --> 00:38:30,291
Roughly the same as at the clinic.

596
00:38:30,291 --> 00:38:35,083
The beds are further apart.
By at least half a meter.

597
00:38:35,083 --> 00:38:37,041
And there are curtains between them.

598
00:38:37,041 --> 00:38:38,750
Yes, same as at the clinic.

599
00:38:38,750 --> 00:38:40,416
But here they are cleaned every two weeks.

600
00:38:40,416 --> 00:38:42,750
At the clinic, once every two months.

601
00:38:43,958 --> 00:38:45,416
True. Make a note of that.

602
00:38:48,583 --> 00:38:50,708
How often do you wash the sheets?

603
00:38:50,708 --> 00:38:53,750
Weekly, but the quilts are only aired.

604
00:38:54,708 --> 00:38:56,125
Why is this important?

605
00:38:56,791 --> 00:38:57,916
I'm not sure yet.

606
00:38:59,291 --> 00:39:02,041
How often do you change the water
in the basins?

607
00:39:02,041 --> 00:39:03,416
After every ward round.

608
00:39:03,916 --> 00:39:05,416
The rooms are sunny,

609
00:39:05,416 --> 00:39:07,541
generally 18-20 degrees.

610
00:39:07,541 --> 00:39:10,166
Each ward is heated by its own stove.

611
00:39:10,166 --> 00:39:11,583
Just like at the clinic.

612
00:39:12,708 --> 00:39:14,500
Any more questions?

613
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:16,041
What make of scalpel do you use?

614
00:39:16,041 --> 00:39:18,000
The Weber make.

615
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,083
- What do you stuff the duvets with?
- Quill or hay.

616
00:39:21,083 --> 00:39:24,125
- How do you bring down a fever?
- Cinchona.

617
00:39:24,125 --> 00:39:27,708
- Where do you take the dirty linen?
- To Grass's, on Leopoldstrasse.

618
00:39:27,708 --> 00:39:29,541
For how many days do you keep the corpses?

619
00:39:29,541 --> 00:39:30,916
Two, at most.

620
00:39:30,916 --> 00:39:32,958
How often do you air the rooms each day?

621
00:39:32,958 --> 00:39:36,333
Once in the winter.
We keep the windows open in the summer.

622
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:43,583
Well, this is our delivery room.

623
00:39:43,583 --> 00:39:47,583
- What do you use for pain relief?
- Opioids.

624
00:39:47,583 --> 00:39:50,458
Ether to anesthetize,
but we rarely do that.

625
00:39:51,541 --> 00:39:53,291
The director didn't give permission
for this.

626
00:39:53,291 --> 00:39:55,750
Does he think I've never seen a dead body?

627
00:40:14,250 --> 00:40:15,708
When do you do the autopsies?

628
00:40:15,708 --> 00:40:16,791
We don't.

629
00:40:16,791 --> 00:40:19,625
We only use wax models to demonstrate.

630
00:40:22,125 --> 00:40:23,291
And those?

631
00:40:23,916 --> 00:40:25,583
They're waiting to be taken away.

632
00:40:58,916 --> 00:41:02,041
Please don't take it wrongly,
but we will be closing up soon.

633
00:41:02,041 --> 00:41:03,708
Is there anything else?

634
00:41:04,750 --> 00:41:06,583
The mortality records.

635
00:41:06,583 --> 00:41:08,958
- For this month?
- For the past ten years.

636
00:41:31,875 --> 00:41:35,125
There must be something
we're not thinking of.

637
00:41:38,916 --> 00:41:40,916
Are you taking the whole archive?

638
00:41:40,916 --> 00:41:42,416
He's only borrowing from it...

639
00:41:42,416 --> 00:41:43,958
It's fine.

640
00:41:43,958 --> 00:41:45,500
We have nothing to hide.

641
00:41:46,500 --> 00:41:48,500
Did you spend a fruitful day here?

642
00:41:49,250 --> 00:41:50,750
We'll see.

643
00:41:50,750 --> 00:41:54,958
- But thank you for letting us come.
- And give my regards to Professor Klein.

644
00:41:54,958 --> 00:42:00,416
If he ever wants to study a well-run
hospital, we'll be happy to see him.

645
00:42:01,625 --> 00:42:02,958
Miss Hoffmann.

646
00:42:04,375 --> 00:42:06,791
Didn't you say you'd never come back?

647
00:42:08,208 --> 00:42:10,708
If you employ those who we dismissed,

648
00:42:11,416 --> 00:42:15,083
is it any wonder your standards
are falling, colleague?

649
00:42:16,083 --> 00:42:18,208
If you let your best staff leave,

650
00:42:19,083 --> 00:42:21,625
I don't foresee much of a future
for your hospital,

651
00:42:21,625 --> 00:42:23,125
Director.

652
00:42:29,875 --> 00:42:31,500
Thank you for defending me.

653
00:42:31,500 --> 00:42:34,250
I dislike it when people insult women
in my presence.

654
00:42:34,250 --> 00:42:36,708
Are you really satisfied with my work?

655
00:42:37,375 --> 00:42:40,375
Let's just say I am not dissatisfied.

656
00:42:43,250 --> 00:42:44,875
But don't get too confident.

657
00:42:51,041 --> 00:42:53,083
Thank you for accompanying me.

658
00:42:53,083 --> 00:42:55,125
I assume you don't need me any further.

659
00:42:56,625 --> 00:42:57,791
Actually, I do,

660
00:42:58,916 --> 00:43:01,250
but I can't force you to work at night.

661
00:43:01,250 --> 00:43:04,083
You don't want to start browsing
through these today?

662
00:43:06,708 --> 00:43:08,208
There's no time to lose.

663
00:43:10,041 --> 00:43:11,291
I'm sorry,

664
00:43:12,416 --> 00:43:13,625
but I'll get up early tomorrow.

665
00:43:13,625 --> 00:43:16,333
My sister is waiting
and my hours finished long ago.

666
00:43:16,333 --> 00:43:17,833
I understand.

667
00:43:17,833 --> 00:43:21,041
Off you go.

668
00:43:22,250 --> 00:43:23,416
Good night.

669
00:43:42,083 --> 00:43:45,791
At last, the doctor has arrived.

670
00:43:45,791 --> 00:43:48,958
- Good evening, Gertrúd.
- I see you're not alone.

671
00:43:48,958 --> 00:43:50,375
Good evening...

672
00:43:50,375 --> 00:43:51,958
Miss Hoffmann is a nurse
on the department--

673
00:43:51,958 --> 00:43:55,875
I don't care what she does,
but this is not that kind of a house.

674
00:43:55,875 --> 00:43:57,750
The room is let out to one person,

675
00:43:57,750 --> 00:44:00,375
and that one person owes rent.

676
00:44:00,375 --> 00:44:01,708
Excuse me.

677
00:44:03,666 --> 00:44:05,791
There was a slight disagreement
between me--

678
00:44:05,791 --> 00:44:08,625
If only the Lord would give me
half as many years

679
00:44:08,625 --> 00:44:11,583
as you had disagreements.

680
00:44:11,583 --> 00:44:13,916
- A little patience--
- I have patience,

681
00:44:13,916 --> 00:44:16,250
but it will cost you.

682
00:44:16,250 --> 00:44:18,583
Precisely one month's rent.

683
00:44:38,291 --> 00:44:39,958
Will this cover my debt?

684
00:44:41,166 --> 00:44:43,875
The pawnbroker will decide about that.

685
00:44:47,875 --> 00:44:50,583
And don't you wake the whole house!

686
00:44:51,416 --> 00:44:53,375
I'm her favorite tenant, by the way.

687
00:45:02,625 --> 00:45:05,625
Last year, 3354 children were born,

688
00:45:06,291 --> 00:45:09,291
of which 459 died of puerperal fever.

689
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,125
That is more than 13%.

690
00:45:20,541 --> 00:45:22,666
In the Midwife College, in the same year,

691
00:45:23,166 --> 00:45:25,625
the proportion was just 4%.

692
00:45:25,625 --> 00:45:28,000
Yet we are doing the same thing.

693
00:45:29,166 --> 00:45:30,666
Except for autopsies.

694
00:45:31,625 --> 00:45:34,083
I can't see how those things
are connected.

695
00:45:36,083 --> 00:45:37,208
Nor can I.

696
00:45:38,916 --> 00:45:40,625
But since this is the only difference,

697
00:45:40,625 --> 00:45:42,333
it's the lead we have to follow.

698
00:45:42,833 --> 00:45:43,875
Yes.

699
00:45:43,875 --> 00:45:46,250
Write down how many autopsies
they carried out in the clinic

700
00:45:46,250 --> 00:45:49,083
in the past four years and when.

701
00:45:49,083 --> 00:45:50,708
The dates may be important.

702
00:45:50,708 --> 00:45:53,500
Now? It is almost 6:00 a.m.

703
00:45:53,500 --> 00:45:56,000
I have to get back to the hostel
before the morning alarm.

704
00:45:56,583 --> 00:45:57,750
You're right. I'm sorry.

705
00:45:57,750 --> 00:46:01,041
- Would you like me to accompany you?
- No, thank you.

706
00:46:01,041 --> 00:46:05,000
And could I ask you not to mention
to your colleagues that I was here?

707
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,083
It would put me in a bad light.

708
00:46:07,083 --> 00:46:08,166
Don't worry.

709
00:46:09,041 --> 00:46:11,416
I suspect I don't have
a very good reputation.

710
00:46:14,416 --> 00:46:16,791
I have no time for hospital gossip.

711
00:46:17,791 --> 00:46:21,541
I just wanted you to know that gossip
doesn't always accord with the facts.

712
00:46:22,416 --> 00:46:25,291
I simply... don't want you to think--

713
00:46:25,291 --> 00:46:27,625
My thoughts are focused on my patients.

714
00:46:40,166 --> 00:46:43,750
"My thoughts are focused on my patients."

715
00:46:43,750 --> 00:46:45,791
Jesus!

716
00:46:57,208 --> 00:46:59,375
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

717
00:47:02,041 --> 00:47:04,458
Did you make progress
at the Midwife College?

718
00:47:05,833 --> 00:47:08,416
I made notes of everything
that could be important.

719
00:47:14,458 --> 00:47:16,333
Very promising, young lady.

720
00:47:17,375 --> 00:47:18,583
Very promising.

721
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:22,875
I hope that half-wit didn't embarrass us.

722
00:47:23,666 --> 00:47:25,041
Not at all.

723
00:47:25,041 --> 00:47:27,708
Dr. Semmelweis is loyal to the clinic.

724
00:47:31,125 --> 00:47:32,583
Thank you, young lady.

725
00:47:33,083 --> 00:47:34,333
You may go.

726
00:47:38,625 --> 00:47:41,250
On the right foot
is thrombophlebitis superficialis.

727
00:47:41,250 --> 00:47:42,166
Go on.

728
00:47:44,458 --> 00:47:48,375
The coloration of the pulmo means
it is probably pleurisy.

729
00:47:48,375 --> 00:47:49,458
And?

730
00:47:52,083 --> 00:47:54,333
Purulent transfers in the muscles...

731
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,916
This is clearly puerperal fever.

732
00:47:59,666 --> 00:48:00,750
"Clearly"?

733
00:48:01,833 --> 00:48:03,916
When you haven't looked at
the most important organ?

734
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,250
Too late.

735
00:48:07,916 --> 00:48:10,500
Jakob, would you be so kind
as to show Herr Braun

736
00:48:10,500 --> 00:48:11,875
where that uterus is?

737
00:48:13,333 --> 00:48:15,708
What are you doing
with that amputation knife?

738
00:48:15,708 --> 00:48:18,041
Leave it, Ignác. I'll do it.

739
00:48:18,041 --> 00:48:21,083
How are you going to be a surgeon
when you still don't know the instruments?

740
00:48:21,583 --> 00:48:23,583
- Look out, you miserable man!
- Sorry!

741
00:48:23,583 --> 00:48:24,875
Is everything all right?

742
00:48:26,250 --> 00:48:28,791
- Show me.
- It's nothing, just a scratch.

743
00:48:29,416 --> 00:48:33,125
In an autopsy, we cut the corpses,
not the colleagues.

744
00:48:34,083 --> 00:48:36,000
Let's look at this diagnosis of yours.

745
00:48:37,916 --> 00:48:40,000
The uterine tissue is completely average

746
00:48:40,541 --> 00:48:42,416
and there is no sign of enlargement.

747
00:48:42,416 --> 00:48:45,166
There are no placenta remains to be found.

748
00:48:45,166 --> 00:48:47,625
This woman was never pregnant,
nor could she have been,

749
00:48:47,625 --> 00:48:49,791
as we operated on her
for a uterine tumor a week ago.

750
00:48:50,583 --> 00:48:54,750
What if the epidemic is attacking those
who haven't given birth as well?

751
00:48:54,750 --> 00:48:57,750
I didn't ask you to solve the riddle.

752
00:48:57,750 --> 00:48:59,666
I just asked for a simple diagnosis.

753
00:48:59,666 --> 00:49:01,375
But you didn't manage even that.

754
00:49:02,208 --> 00:49:04,500
Get out of here and don't come back in.

755
00:49:20,708 --> 00:49:22,166
Let me see.

756
00:50:00,541 --> 00:50:01,666
What's the matter?

757
00:50:03,208 --> 00:50:04,291
Nothing.

758
00:50:05,041 --> 00:50:07,291
You're crying your eyes out over nothing?

759
00:50:07,833 --> 00:50:09,041
Is it the officer?

760
00:50:10,666 --> 00:50:12,583
He hasn't been in touch for two weeks,

761
00:50:12,583 --> 00:50:16,791
and today at the market, I saw him
chatting up some fancy trollop.

762
00:50:17,666 --> 00:50:21,833
If he is stupid enough to do that,
then you're better off without him.

763
00:50:21,833 --> 00:50:23,916
Then why do I feel worse off?

764
00:50:25,041 --> 00:50:26,041
Do you know what?

765
00:50:27,416 --> 00:50:29,250
It's the ball soon.

766
00:50:29,250 --> 00:50:31,458
Do yourself up and you'll see

767
00:50:31,458 --> 00:50:33,666
you'll have ten officers for every finger.

768
00:50:45,916 --> 00:50:47,625
Ah, Semmelweis!

769
00:50:51,083 --> 00:50:53,458
I heard that you failed a medical student.

770
00:50:54,291 --> 00:50:55,125
That's right.

771
00:50:55,125 --> 00:51:00,458
The student in question was the nephew of
our very influential patron, Herr Braun.

772
00:51:01,333 --> 00:51:03,416
Sadly, that's his innate ability.

773
00:51:03,416 --> 00:51:05,916
It doesn't make him fit
to practice medicine.

774
00:51:05,916 --> 00:51:09,500
I wrote to the Herr Braun
and said there'd been a mistake,

775
00:51:09,500 --> 00:51:13,250
and that he can continue his studies here.

776
00:51:13,875 --> 00:51:18,125
Dr. Semmelweis will lead today's round
instead of me.

777
00:51:18,125 --> 00:51:23,166
He has acquired indispensable experiences
with the midwives.

778
00:51:23,166 --> 00:51:25,250
Let's hear what you found out.

779
00:51:26,583 --> 00:51:28,083
Nothing so far.

780
00:51:29,250 --> 00:51:31,250
I need some more time.

781
00:51:31,958 --> 00:51:35,750
And you're tarnishing
the clinic's reputation for that?

782
00:51:35,750 --> 00:51:39,458
The mortality rate started to deteriorate
exactly seven years ago.

783
00:51:44,750 --> 00:51:47,208
Since I have been running the clinic.

784
00:51:48,291 --> 00:51:51,166
You've got a lot of nerve.

785
00:51:51,166 --> 00:51:54,208
Not only do you disobey my orders,

786
00:51:54,208 --> 00:51:56,125
but you also claim that I am responsible?

787
00:51:56,125 --> 00:52:01,541
I merely say
that the cause lies here at the clinic.

788
00:52:01,541 --> 00:52:05,250
Then continue your search
in the dissecting room.

789
00:52:05,250 --> 00:52:10,541
Your obstetric work is suspended
until you hear from me.

790
00:52:10,541 --> 00:52:13,916
Perhaps you'll do less harm
among the dead than among the living.

791
00:52:14,500 --> 00:52:17,500
Professor,
Semmelweis is the best obstetrician.

792
00:52:20,416 --> 00:52:23,666
How sweet that you stand up
for each other.

793
00:52:25,041 --> 00:52:26,250
Do you know what?

794
00:52:27,666 --> 00:52:31,083
I am suspending all the Hungarians.

795
00:52:35,666 --> 00:52:37,083
Come, gentlemen!

796
00:52:41,500 --> 00:52:43,416
I don't care if you want to get sacked

797
00:52:43,416 --> 00:52:45,666
but I'm not going to be kicked out
because of you.

798
00:52:45,666 --> 00:52:48,916
Sorry... but I won't give up this research.

799
00:52:48,916 --> 00:52:50,291
What research?

800
00:52:50,291 --> 00:52:53,875
- What have you discovered exactly?
- I have ruled out six misguided theories.

801
00:52:53,875 --> 00:52:56,041
And how many are there to go? A hundred?

802
00:52:56,041 --> 00:52:57,333
Maybe.

803
00:52:57,333 --> 00:52:59,708
Then I will rule out ninety-nine.

804
00:52:59,708 --> 00:53:01,041
But I'll find the cause.

805
00:53:01,041 --> 00:53:03,958
Why do you think there's just one cause?

806
00:53:03,958 --> 00:53:06,375
There's one simple cause for everything.

807
00:53:07,416 --> 00:53:10,458
It's just us doctors who always look
for complicated explanations.

808
00:53:10,458 --> 00:53:13,375
But you haven't made
any more headway than Klein.

809
00:53:13,375 --> 00:53:15,750
Why do you expect us to back you?

810
00:53:15,750 --> 00:53:19,666
- Because we're fellow countrymen.
- But we aren't blind followers.

811
00:53:19,666 --> 00:53:22,416
Don't you see this is what Klein wants?

812
00:53:22,416 --> 00:53:24,666
To set the Hungarians on each other?

813
00:53:24,666 --> 00:53:27,166
If we let them divide us,
we deserve what we get.

814
00:53:28,958 --> 00:53:31,125
You're even snappier than usual.

815
00:53:31,916 --> 00:53:33,458
A little dancing will cheer you up.

816
00:53:33,458 --> 00:53:35,083
The ball is almost upon us.

817
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,333
Will Baumgartner be there?

818
00:53:37,333 --> 00:53:40,625
I'm sure you can find
a prettier partner than that.

819
00:53:41,333 --> 00:53:43,791
I need to talk to him
so that everyone gets their job back.

820
00:53:43,791 --> 00:53:46,458
You're going to wind up Klein again.

821
00:53:46,458 --> 00:53:50,208
Wait a little for things to calm down,
and until then, have a little fun.

822
00:53:53,250 --> 00:53:56,875
Invite that pretty nurse.
Sure she wouldn't say no.

823
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,166
- I'm honored to be asked, but...
- But?

824
00:54:03,166 --> 00:54:05,333
I don't have time for entertainment.

825
00:54:05,333 --> 00:54:07,291
This isn't entertainment.

826
00:54:07,291 --> 00:54:10,375
Participation is compulsory
for all the clinic's staff.

827
00:54:10,375 --> 00:54:13,125
And is it compulsory to accept
all doctors' requests?

828
00:54:13,833 --> 00:54:15,291
Only mine.

829
00:54:15,291 --> 00:54:18,916
I won't be much of a partner.
I have two left feet on the dance floor.

830
00:54:18,916 --> 00:54:22,541
Then we will forget the dance
and find some better entertainment.

831
00:54:22,541 --> 00:54:24,291
I have nothing to wear.

832
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,166
You don't have to wear anything.

833
00:54:35,416 --> 00:54:36,625
Well?

834
00:55:00,958 --> 00:55:04,875
- Is that pike perch or trout?
- Gently does it, Jutta, gently.

835
00:55:04,875 --> 00:55:06,875
Frau Baumgartner...

836
00:55:07,375 --> 00:55:10,000
You're not just the patron of the ball,

837
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,583
but also its prettiest mother-to-be.

838
00:55:13,291 --> 00:55:17,041
I've noticed, Professor,
you always want something from me

839
00:55:17,041 --> 00:55:19,166
when you chat up my wife.

840
00:55:21,416 --> 00:55:22,625
Jutta!

841
00:55:32,083 --> 00:55:33,250
There he is.

842
00:55:38,625 --> 00:55:39,791
Councillor.

843
00:55:42,041 --> 00:55:43,666
Is it important, Semmelweis?

844
00:55:43,666 --> 00:55:45,083
We're celebrating today.

845
00:55:45,833 --> 00:55:48,291
I'd like to talk to you
about the Hungarian doctors.

846
00:55:49,208 --> 00:55:50,625
Another time.

847
00:55:51,916 --> 00:55:54,833
I hear your research
hasn't brought much success.

848
00:55:54,833 --> 00:55:57,541
Not yet, but I'm not giving up.

849
00:55:57,541 --> 00:55:59,708
Excellent, keep it up.

850
00:55:59,708 --> 00:56:01,500
Now, if you'll excuse me...

851
00:56:02,041 --> 00:56:05,125
The Hungarian doctors
can't be expelled from the department!

852
00:56:05,125 --> 00:56:06,791
Tell me, Semmelweis,

853
00:56:06,791 --> 00:56:09,750
why are you burdening the councillor
with your problems?

854
00:56:09,750 --> 00:56:12,666
I am certain that if there is any problem,

855
00:56:12,666 --> 00:56:15,083
Professor Klein will solve it.

856
00:56:27,250 --> 00:56:28,500
Good evening.

857
00:57:05,458 --> 00:57:07,583
Will you honor me with the next dance?

858
00:57:07,583 --> 00:57:10,000
The lady promised me the whole night.

859
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,166
I didn't ask for the whole night,
just a dance.

860
00:57:13,666 --> 00:57:15,250
I accept your request.

861
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,125
One dance.

862
00:57:30,458 --> 00:57:32,291
Do you know what I like about balls?

863
00:57:33,208 --> 00:57:35,041
They're filled with pretty women.

864
00:57:44,666 --> 00:57:47,125
Miss? May I?

865
00:57:56,125 --> 00:57:57,583
Jutta...

866
00:57:59,458 --> 00:58:02,083
I thought you couldn't stand
this kind of entertainment.

867
00:58:02,083 --> 00:58:03,708
You thought right.

868
00:58:03,708 --> 00:58:07,708
You, on the other hand, seem to enjoy
the company of certain Austrian doctors.

869
00:58:11,875 --> 00:58:15,375
Yes. Especially because no Hungarian
doctor thought of inviting me.

870
00:58:15,375 --> 00:58:18,000
Maybe because Hungarian doctors
don't like to compete.

871
00:58:18,583 --> 00:58:20,166
Especially for those of ill repute.

872
00:58:20,166 --> 00:58:22,416
If you asked me to dance just
to offend me...

873
00:58:24,458 --> 00:58:26,708
Darling, I told you not to overdo it.

874
00:58:31,625 --> 00:58:32,875
Ma'am, what's wrong?

875
00:58:34,250 --> 00:58:35,291
Jutta!

876
00:58:41,083 --> 00:58:42,583
It's stuck too deep!

877
00:58:42,583 --> 00:58:43,958
Break this!

878
00:59:02,250 --> 00:59:04,458
We'll get the fish bone out
in the hospital.

879
00:59:25,416 --> 00:59:27,291
You don't have to walk me home.

880
00:59:28,333 --> 00:59:31,583
I know. We're going to Jakob's, not yours.

881
00:59:32,250 --> 00:59:35,416
He was unwell this afternoon
and he didn't show up at the ball.

882
00:59:36,041 --> 00:59:37,291
Maybe he didn't want to.

883
00:59:38,208 --> 00:59:40,083
He'd never miss the fried pike perch.

884
00:59:41,458 --> 00:59:43,333
And what do I have to do with this?

885
00:59:46,375 --> 00:59:47,916
You're my right hand.

886
00:59:47,916 --> 00:59:49,541
I need you.

887
00:59:52,291 --> 00:59:53,833
Is this how you apologize?

888
00:59:54,958 --> 00:59:56,500
Usually, I don't.

889
00:59:58,625 --> 00:59:59,833
But you're an exception.

890
01:00:02,291 --> 01:00:03,541
Come.

891
01:00:21,083 --> 01:00:22,291
Maybe he's asleep.

892
01:00:22,791 --> 01:00:25,125
No way. Jakob's a night owl.

893
01:00:28,125 --> 01:00:29,250
Jakob!

894
01:00:31,708 --> 01:00:32,833
Jakob!

895
01:00:40,541 --> 01:00:41,541
I hope he's okay.

896
01:00:43,333 --> 01:00:45,541
There's only one way we can find out.

897
01:00:46,958 --> 01:00:48,333
I'm eighty kilos.

898
01:00:48,833 --> 01:00:50,708
I've lifted heavier things.

899
01:00:51,458 --> 01:00:55,458
You cannot possibly imagine I'm going to
step into your hand with my muddy boot.

900
01:00:55,958 --> 01:00:57,625
All right, I'm climbing then.

901
01:01:01,958 --> 01:01:03,000
Here.

902
01:01:12,791 --> 01:01:14,458
Well? Is he there?

903
01:01:16,416 --> 01:01:17,416
Yes.

904
01:01:19,458 --> 01:01:22,041
He was fine yesterday.

905
01:01:22,666 --> 01:01:23,833
What could this be?

906
01:01:23,833 --> 01:01:25,583
Sepsis.

907
01:01:26,583 --> 01:01:28,083
We'll try to draw blood.

908
01:01:28,083 --> 01:01:30,500
Emma, bring me a fresh compress.

909
01:01:33,291 --> 01:01:36,250
One damned little accident
and there goes a life.

910
01:01:38,666 --> 01:01:40,541
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

911
01:01:41,375 --> 01:01:42,458
The symptoms...

912
01:01:44,333 --> 01:01:46,208
The same as with puerperal fever.

913
01:01:47,083 --> 01:01:48,958
I didn't even give birth.

914
01:01:51,083 --> 01:01:54,916
There's some money in the drawer,
give it to my parents.

915
01:01:55,833 --> 01:01:57,250
I'm going to heal you.

916
01:01:57,250 --> 01:01:58,708
Not me.

917
01:02:00,458 --> 01:02:01,750
But don't you give up.

918
01:02:41,166 --> 01:02:42,500
Was Kollár here?

919
01:02:43,833 --> 01:02:45,208
Why do you think so?

920
01:02:45,208 --> 01:02:47,958
I saw him. What was he doing here?

921
01:02:48,958 --> 01:02:50,250
What?

922
01:02:50,250 --> 01:02:52,125
What Berger did with you.

923
01:02:52,125 --> 01:02:54,375
I've never been Berger's lover.

924
01:02:54,375 --> 01:02:57,250
You should have been.
He wouldn't have sacked you then.

925
01:02:57,250 --> 01:03:00,125
I won't end up on the street,
that's for sure.

926
01:03:01,500 --> 01:03:02,916
You don't even like him.

927
01:03:04,125 --> 01:03:05,416
Who said so?

928
01:03:06,875 --> 01:03:09,375
Anyway, Ferdinand is nice.

929
01:03:10,291 --> 01:03:13,500
And he promised to take me
boating to the Prater.

930
01:03:13,500 --> 01:03:16,583
You can't be Kollár's lover
just so you won't be sacked.

931
01:03:17,583 --> 01:03:19,833
What should our kind do then?

932
01:03:20,583 --> 01:03:23,791
We're nothing to doctors!

933
01:03:40,833 --> 01:03:44,125
Don't you think it's strange
that the infection on Jakob's arm

934
01:03:44,125 --> 01:03:46,666
was like what the women
who died of puerperal fever had?

935
01:03:47,375 --> 01:03:49,083
What do you mean?

936
01:03:51,250 --> 01:03:53,208
I'll only find out if I dissect him.

937
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:55,750
Your best friend?

938
01:03:55,750 --> 01:03:57,750
Wouldn't you be sacked immediately
for this?

939
01:04:01,833 --> 01:04:03,208
No doubt.

940
01:04:03,208 --> 01:04:05,958
But only if anyone else found out.

941
01:04:11,625 --> 01:04:14,666
Doctor, you know that
I cannot give you the body.

942
01:04:14,666 --> 01:04:16,291
Of course, we know that, Mr. Gassner.

943
01:04:16,291 --> 01:04:18,750
But would you mind making an exception?

944
01:04:18,750 --> 01:04:19,833
I'm sorry.

945
01:04:21,041 --> 01:04:24,333
I got orders from Mr. Klein personally.

946
01:04:24,333 --> 01:04:26,500
I can't risk my job.

947
01:04:26,500 --> 01:04:28,541
We understand.
I'll leave this here anyway.

948
01:04:28,541 --> 01:04:29,708
It's a gift.

949
01:04:46,875 --> 01:04:48,625
I told you the wine wouldn't help.

950
01:04:48,625 --> 01:04:51,875
The wine won't, but the sleeping pills
I've put in it will.

951
01:04:53,250 --> 01:04:55,125
I wanted to make sure.

952
01:04:55,916 --> 01:04:57,625
I didn't know you were so cunning.

953
01:05:38,125 --> 01:05:40,291
Thrombophlebitis superficialis.

954
01:05:51,208 --> 01:05:52,666
Pulmo on the pleura.

955
01:05:56,458 --> 01:05:58,916
There are thousands of people
cutting their hands every day,

956
01:05:58,916 --> 01:06:00,791
without any further harm.

957
01:06:01,750 --> 01:06:02,875
Jakob's death...

958
01:06:06,833 --> 01:06:10,125
Jakob's death was not caused
by a wound infection either.

959
01:06:10,125 --> 01:06:11,666
But cadaverine?

960
01:06:16,166 --> 01:06:19,791
The only question remaining is,
how does cadaverine get into the womb?

961
01:06:21,333 --> 01:06:22,916
Maybe it spreads through the air.

962
01:06:23,791 --> 01:06:25,625
Then we ourselves would be infected.

963
01:06:28,041 --> 01:06:30,875
Not to mention that patients
never come near the morgue.

964
01:06:33,666 --> 01:06:35,166
What transfers it then?

965
01:06:42,125 --> 01:06:44,250
Or who transfers it?

966
01:07:32,291 --> 01:07:33,958
Tell him to come help!

967
01:07:33,958 --> 01:07:35,041
Come here!

968
01:07:45,958 --> 01:07:46,791
It's him!

969
01:07:47,625 --> 01:07:49,750
He cut your mother into pieces!

970
01:08:24,250 --> 01:08:26,750
Oh my God, what are you doing here?

971
01:08:26,750 --> 01:08:28,375
What happened to you?

972
01:08:29,333 --> 01:08:32,375
I can't let you in.
If they see you, I'll be expelled.

973
01:08:32,375 --> 01:08:33,916
Of course, I wasn't thinking...

974
01:08:35,375 --> 01:08:36,375
Only...

975
01:08:39,666 --> 01:08:41,291
Come with me.

976
01:08:41,291 --> 01:08:43,083
But keep quiet so no one sees you.

977
01:08:49,416 --> 01:08:51,583
<i>Take your shirt off, I'll clean the wound.</i>

978
01:09:10,125 --> 01:09:11,750
I can't go back to the clinic.

979
01:09:13,041 --> 01:09:14,375
Rest for a few days.

980
01:09:15,916 --> 01:09:17,541
I've caused enough damage.

981
01:09:19,083 --> 01:09:20,333
What's the bigger sin?

982
01:09:21,375 --> 01:09:23,833
If you do your job, or if you give up?

983
01:10:56,791 --> 01:10:58,416
You have hardly any skin left.

984
01:10:58,416 --> 01:10:59,666
Why the scrubbing?

985
01:11:00,291 --> 01:11:01,916
Leave me be.

986
01:11:03,250 --> 01:11:06,000
- I want to rest.
- You've been resting for three days.

987
01:11:09,500 --> 01:11:12,500
And I'm not planning anything else
in the coming days either.

988
01:11:12,500 --> 01:11:13,791
Fine by me.

989
01:11:14,541 --> 01:11:16,250
But that young lady is here.

990
01:11:25,916 --> 01:11:26,916
Did you bring it?

991
01:11:26,916 --> 01:11:28,875
I stole it from the medicine cabinet.

992
01:11:34,166 --> 01:11:36,041
Lean back. Don't inhale it.

993
01:11:57,625 --> 01:11:59,083
This doesn't work either.

994
01:12:01,291 --> 01:12:03,166
The smell cuts through everything.

995
01:12:05,708 --> 01:12:07,250
Have you eaten today?

996
01:12:08,500 --> 01:12:09,500
Come on.

997
01:12:10,791 --> 01:12:12,000
Come on.

998
01:12:17,500 --> 01:12:19,416
Ward three?

999
01:12:19,416 --> 01:12:23,666
Two cases in a week,
a little servant girl and a courtesan.

1000
01:12:23,666 --> 01:12:24,833
And ward two?

1001
01:12:24,833 --> 01:12:26,333
Nothing there for days.

1002
01:12:26,333 --> 01:12:27,708
Klein is very pleased.

1003
01:12:27,708 --> 01:12:31,666
He says the decrease is noticeable
since Hungarians are not allowed in.

1004
01:12:31,666 --> 01:12:34,083
Yes, because Austrians
barely do autopsies.

1005
01:12:35,083 --> 01:12:36,958
This just proves my theory further.

1006
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,375
If you're so certain about this,
why don't you publish it?

1007
01:12:45,500 --> 01:12:47,625
There are no results to publish.

1008
01:12:47,625 --> 01:12:49,291
But there are partial results.

1009
01:12:49,291 --> 01:12:52,541
Imagine how many lives
you could save with them.

1010
01:12:53,125 --> 01:12:55,916
For now, I can only think of
how many I've ended.

1011
01:12:58,375 --> 01:13:00,625
Ignác, you have to come back to work.

1012
01:13:01,500 --> 01:13:03,000
Klein thinks you have a cold,

1013
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:05,458
but if you're away for too long,

1014
01:13:05,458 --> 01:13:07,250
he'll have a reason to sack you.

1015
01:13:14,291 --> 01:13:15,791
What's the strongest drink you have?

1016
01:13:17,125 --> 01:13:18,208
Absinthe.

1017
01:13:19,041 --> 01:13:20,791
All the way from Paris.

1018
01:13:20,791 --> 01:13:22,083
Seventy-four degrees.

1019
01:13:23,166 --> 01:13:24,708
Can I bring you a shot?

1020
01:13:24,708 --> 01:13:26,500
Bring me the whole bottle.

1021
01:13:37,208 --> 01:13:38,208
There you go.

1022
01:13:50,041 --> 01:13:51,041
Pour.

1023
01:13:51,666 --> 01:13:52,666
Pour!

1024
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:56,000
More.

1025
01:13:57,250 --> 01:13:58,250
Good.

1026
01:14:49,083 --> 01:14:50,333
Good morning.

1027
01:14:54,291 --> 01:14:56,041
- What's in this?
- Bleach powder.

1028
01:14:58,666 --> 01:15:01,416
What are you doing?
You're ruining those shirts!

1029
01:15:09,083 --> 01:15:10,416
It's gone...

1030
01:15:13,833 --> 01:15:16,458
- It's gone...
- What's gone? Your shirt?

1031
01:15:18,291 --> 01:15:19,750
The dead body smell!

1032
01:15:19,750 --> 01:15:20,916
Gertrúd!

1033
01:15:20,916 --> 01:15:22,208
The dead body smell!

1034
01:15:22,208 --> 01:15:24,666
It was better when
you were consumed by sorrow...

1035
01:15:24,666 --> 01:15:25,833
at least for my back...

1036
01:15:25,833 --> 01:15:27,833
- It's gone...
- What's gone?

1037
01:15:28,791 --> 01:15:30,041
The dead body smell.

1038
01:15:30,041 --> 01:15:31,291
Where are you going?

1039
01:15:31,291 --> 01:15:33,291
I must tell Miss Hoffmann right now!

1040
01:15:41,083 --> 01:15:42,458
Look here!

1041
01:15:43,500 --> 01:15:46,166
Carefully. Gently.

1042
01:15:46,750 --> 01:15:50,583
The way a violinist
treats their instrument.

1043
01:15:51,458 --> 01:15:54,833
The birth canal and the pudendum

1044
01:15:56,041 --> 01:15:58,083
are even more sensitive areas.

1045
01:16:01,791 --> 01:16:03,208
Gentle movements

1046
01:16:04,083 --> 01:16:06,416
significantly increase

1047
01:16:07,208 --> 01:16:10,208
the birthing woman's chances of life.

1048
01:16:15,250 --> 01:16:17,333
Dr. Semmelweis
has closed the maternity ward.

1049
01:16:17,333 --> 01:16:18,833
He won't let anyone in.

1050
01:16:31,166 --> 01:16:34,583
- What's going on here?
- Semmelweis won't let us in!

1051
01:16:34,583 --> 01:16:36,291
I can see you're better, Semmelweis.

1052
01:16:36,291 --> 01:16:38,125
You're already holding up your colleagues.

1053
01:16:38,125 --> 01:16:40,291
Whoever's scrubbed up can go in.

1054
01:16:40,291 --> 01:16:41,583
But...

1055
01:16:41,583 --> 01:16:43,125
everyone is scrubbing up.

1056
01:16:43,125 --> 01:16:45,583
Soap is worth nothing against cadaverine.

1057
01:16:45,583 --> 01:16:47,833
But if we wash our hands
with bleach water,

1058
01:16:48,458 --> 01:16:49,958
no one's going to die.

1059
01:16:50,458 --> 01:16:53,875
Hand washing as a scientific discovery?

1060
01:16:54,875 --> 01:17:00,916
For example, there is Dr. Kollár's
fetus loop used at stillbirths.

1061
01:17:00,916 --> 01:17:05,875
Now that's a real medical invention
that has saved many a mother's life.

1062
01:17:05,875 --> 01:17:10,041
But with bleach powder, we can
preserve the life of mother and child.

1063
01:17:10,041 --> 01:17:12,666
It also helps if you're not rummaging
around in corpses.

1064
01:17:12,666 --> 01:17:14,791
Can you prove all this?

1065
01:17:14,791 --> 01:17:15,875
Soon, yes.

1066
01:17:16,708 --> 01:17:19,208
But for now,
everyone must wash their hands.

1067
01:17:19,208 --> 01:17:20,125
In this.

1068
01:17:20,125 --> 01:17:22,708
How can you assume we're going to
clown around like this?

1069
01:17:22,708 --> 01:17:25,875
Professor, what have you got to lose?
It's worth a try.

1070
01:17:25,875 --> 01:17:29,041
I'd be surprised if this wasn't said
by a Hungarian.

1071
01:17:29,041 --> 01:17:31,500
Step aside, Semmelweis, and let us work!

1072
01:17:33,125 --> 01:17:35,708
- Gentlemen!
- Give me three weeks!

1073
01:17:35,708 --> 01:17:37,333
If I'm wrong, I'll hand in my resignation.

1074
01:17:37,333 --> 01:17:39,750
But if I'm right,
we'll save thousands of mothers.

1075
01:17:39,750 --> 01:17:42,416
It's not too much fuss, is it?

1076
01:17:44,541 --> 01:17:49,000
Go back to dissecting bodies, Semmelweis,
or I'll be forced to have you removed!

1077
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:50,458
Don't you understand?

1078
01:17:52,291 --> 01:17:53,833
- This is about lives!
- Come, Ignác!

1079
01:17:55,166 --> 01:17:57,166
Don't make it worse for yourself.

1080
01:18:06,291 --> 01:18:07,500
You just keep...

1081
01:18:08,583 --> 01:18:10,125
Fetch the mopping bucket!

1082
01:18:15,041 --> 01:18:18,166
If you're looking for Júlia,
she has a day off today.

1083
01:18:21,166 --> 01:18:24,083
Your job was to report on Semmelweis,

1084
01:18:24,083 --> 01:18:25,750
not to go to bed with him.

1085
01:18:25,750 --> 01:18:28,583
- I--
- Come on, cut the act!

1086
01:18:28,583 --> 01:18:30,666
I don't care who you're sleeping with.

1087
01:18:31,458 --> 01:18:32,791
What do you want from me?

1088
01:18:33,625 --> 01:18:34,625
Don't worry.

1089
01:18:35,666 --> 01:18:37,000
Nothing anymore.

1090
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,625
If you choose that fool,
that's your business.

1091
01:18:39,625 --> 01:18:42,375
But I won't let you
disrupt the order in my hospital.

1092
01:18:42,375 --> 01:18:44,166
In your hospital?

1093
01:18:44,166 --> 01:18:47,541
Who do you think will manage this place
after Professor Klein?

1094
01:18:47,541 --> 01:18:51,750
Use your position
and report something useful,

1095
01:18:52,541 --> 01:18:54,916
or you'll be out on the street,
along with your sister.

1096
01:19:00,541 --> 01:19:01,541
Blunderer!

1097
01:19:01,541 --> 01:19:03,333
She's doing more harm than good!

1098
01:19:03,333 --> 01:19:04,500
Thank you, Matron.

1099
01:19:04,500 --> 01:19:06,083
Leave the disciplining to me.

1100
01:19:06,083 --> 01:19:09,666
This girl doesn't belong here.
She can't see beyond her nose!

1101
01:19:09,666 --> 01:19:12,416
In my department,
I'm responsible for my colleagues.

1102
01:19:20,500 --> 01:19:25,166
Forty-two, 78, 21...

1103
01:19:29,375 --> 01:19:30,416
Other eye?

1104
01:19:33,125 --> 01:19:36,166
Forty-two, 78...

1105
01:19:42,541 --> 01:19:45,000
Have they taken Dr. Kolletschka yet?

1106
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:46,166
No.

1107
01:19:46,166 --> 01:19:48,583
His parents got stuck.

1108
01:19:48,583 --> 01:19:50,166
Show me the body!

1109
01:19:50,166 --> 01:19:52,083
Yes, Professor. Here.

1110
01:20:11,791 --> 01:20:16,250
You think because you're Baumgartner's
<i>liebling</i> now, you can do anything?

1111
01:20:16,250 --> 01:20:20,458
Even if you were the Emperor's <i>liebling</i>
you couldn't dissect a colleague!

1112
01:20:20,458 --> 01:20:22,125
The infection on Jakob's hand

1113
01:20:22,708 --> 01:20:25,666
was just like the ones
on the deceased women's pudendums.

1114
01:20:26,583 --> 01:20:27,833
And what does this prove?

1115
01:20:27,833 --> 01:20:31,083
That we're the ones bringing in the
causative agent from the dissecting room.

1116
01:20:32,416 --> 01:20:33,875
You've lost your mind!

1117
01:20:36,708 --> 01:20:37,750
My daughter...

1118
01:20:38,375 --> 01:20:40,916
died in my arms, along with my grandchild.

1119
01:20:41,833 --> 01:20:45,250
Are you telling me I killed them?

1120
01:20:48,250 --> 01:20:49,250
It's possible.

1121
01:20:50,208 --> 01:20:51,708
You are deranged.

1122
01:20:52,416 --> 01:20:54,666
You call me and your colleagues murderers,

1123
01:20:54,666 --> 01:20:56,875
and you expect me to pat your back?

1124
01:20:56,875 --> 01:21:01,458
I expect you to help me prove my theory!

1125
01:21:01,458 --> 01:21:02,541
Prove it!

1126
01:21:02,541 --> 01:21:04,500
But somewhere else.

1127
01:21:04,500 --> 01:21:07,083
You're unable to recognize
the damage you're doing.

1128
01:21:07,583 --> 01:21:09,166
You're dismissed.

1129
01:21:10,666 --> 01:21:11,750
All the best!

1130
01:21:16,916 --> 01:21:19,375
Mrs. Herbert has five-minute contractions.

1131
01:21:19,375 --> 01:21:21,333
Markusovszky can conduct it.

1132
01:21:22,750 --> 01:21:24,541
She insists on you, Ignác.

1133
01:21:25,375 --> 01:21:26,708
Klein's sacked me.

1134
01:21:27,291 --> 01:21:28,666
With immediate effect.

1135
01:21:32,541 --> 01:21:35,125
Gassner couldn't keep his mouth shut.

1136
01:21:36,250 --> 01:21:37,791
He couldn't have done this.

1137
01:21:40,375 --> 01:21:41,750
It was my fault.

1138
01:21:42,791 --> 01:21:44,708
I shouldn't have encouraged you.

1139
01:21:50,041 --> 01:21:51,625
If you hadn't encouraged me,

1140
01:21:52,583 --> 01:21:54,500
I'd have never found the solution.

1141
01:21:56,750 --> 01:21:58,000
So, what now?

1142
01:22:06,500 --> 01:22:08,625
Do you always have to bang your head
against the wall?

1143
01:22:08,625 --> 01:22:10,583
If you've nothing better to do
than to pester me,

1144
01:22:10,583 --> 01:22:12,000
I'd rather not have your help.

1145
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:13,458
Actually, I do.

1146
01:22:13,458 --> 01:22:16,541
Guess who I've just seen
on Philharmoniker Strasse!

1147
01:22:16,541 --> 01:22:18,666
Mrs. Baumgartner in the Sacher.

1148
01:22:20,166 --> 01:22:21,250
And?

1149
01:22:21,250 --> 01:22:23,291
Should I eat a Viennese cake with her?

1150
01:22:23,291 --> 01:22:26,041
I think it's time for you
to call in a favor.

1151
01:22:36,208 --> 01:22:38,125
Prepare Kolletschka's body.

1152
01:22:38,125 --> 01:22:39,375
To dissect?

1153
01:22:39,958 --> 01:22:41,583
I've just dressed him.

1154
01:22:41,583 --> 01:22:43,916
His parents could arrive at any moment.

1155
01:22:45,166 --> 01:22:47,125
Tell them to wait.

1156
01:22:47,125 --> 01:22:48,208
Yes, sir!

1157
01:22:56,833 --> 01:22:58,791
How long has he been rotting here?

1158
01:23:04,708 --> 01:23:06,375
The symptoms are similar.

1159
01:23:08,791 --> 01:23:10,541
Semmelweis's hypothesis

1160
01:23:11,125 --> 01:23:12,250
is accurate.

1161
01:23:13,666 --> 01:23:15,416
Kolletschka died of the same thing

1162
01:23:16,375 --> 01:23:18,791
as women giving birth here.

1163
01:23:18,791 --> 01:23:21,458
Obviously, he is a victim of the epidemic.

1164
01:23:21,458 --> 01:23:23,666
What else could be behind this?

1165
01:23:23,666 --> 01:23:27,500
I honestly hope you're right, Kollár.

1166
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:33,250
For what reason could he dismiss
such a gifted doctor?

1167
01:23:33,250 --> 01:23:35,458
Isn't that right, Vilhelmina?

1168
01:23:35,458 --> 01:23:38,125
Men always quarrel, darling.

1169
01:23:38,125 --> 01:23:40,041
This Klein has lost his mind.

1170
01:23:40,041 --> 01:23:44,000
Don't worry, young man,
my Karl will talk to the professor.

1171
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,833
I'm sure he'll be happy to admit
he was wrong.

1172
01:23:47,833 --> 01:23:49,208
Tell me, Semmelweis,

1173
01:23:49,208 --> 01:23:51,875
do you think it will be a boy or a girl?

1174
01:23:52,916 --> 01:23:54,291
I'm not sure.

1175
01:23:54,291 --> 01:23:57,291
But it's certain that if the baby's
anything like you,

1176
01:23:57,291 --> 01:23:58,375
it'll be fine.

1177
01:24:18,083 --> 01:24:19,083
Gentlemen!

1178
01:24:21,458 --> 01:24:24,916
From today on, the department
will be divided into two parts.

1179
01:24:25,458 --> 01:24:27,083
That's why I called you here.

1180
01:24:27,083 --> 01:24:33,791
Even though I had disagreements
with Dr. Semmelweis in the recent past,

1181
01:24:33,791 --> 01:24:37,708
out of professional curiosity,
I decided to...

1182
01:24:37,708 --> 01:24:42,041
give him a chance to prove his theory.

1183
01:24:43,750 --> 01:24:46,833
So, the department
will be divided into two parts.

1184
01:24:46,833 --> 01:24:50,250
One of them will be led by Dr. Kollár,
the other by Dr. Semmelweis...

1185
01:24:50,250 --> 01:24:51,500
Excellent idea!

1186
01:24:51,500 --> 01:24:53,416
This will prove my theory
at the same time.

1187
01:24:53,416 --> 01:24:55,791
Well, well. You have theories now?

1188
01:24:55,791 --> 01:24:59,541
I am convinced that certain Hungarian
doctors examine patients boorishly,

1189
01:24:59,541 --> 01:25:01,708
then they wonder why
the death rate increases.

1190
01:25:01,708 --> 01:25:03,500
- That's offensive!
- Ridiculous, more like.

1191
01:25:03,500 --> 01:25:06,458
You behave like sailors in my hospital.

1192
01:25:07,791 --> 01:25:09,416
I give you three weeks

1193
01:25:10,166 --> 01:25:11,791
to prove your theory.

1194
01:25:12,666 --> 01:25:13,791
Not a day longer.

1195
01:25:17,083 --> 01:25:18,083
Dr. Fuchs,

1196
01:25:19,083 --> 01:25:21,375
your wife will soon give birth in here.

1197
01:25:22,541 --> 01:25:23,916
Please make a decision

1198
01:25:23,916 --> 01:25:26,875
on whose department you would like to
admit dear Clara to.

1199
01:25:54,125 --> 01:25:58,250
From now on, these can only be disinfected
with bleach powder.

1200
01:25:58,250 --> 01:26:01,833
But that will cost a lot more.
Who's going to pay for that?

1201
01:26:10,375 --> 01:26:11,375
All right.

1202
01:26:34,208 --> 01:26:35,333
Thank you.

1203
01:27:29,375 --> 01:27:31,458
Doctor, any patients with a fever?

1204
01:27:31,458 --> 01:27:33,083
Go to Kollár's department.

1205
01:27:34,875 --> 01:27:37,541
By the fourth day,
the number of patients with fever...

1206
01:27:41,041 --> 01:27:45,000
decreased by 87% in ward three,

1207
01:27:46,125 --> 01:27:47,916
and exactly 90% in ward four.

1208
01:28:10,583 --> 01:28:12,916
You won't let me into my own clinic?

1209
01:28:12,916 --> 01:28:14,541
Not until you wash your hands.

1210
01:28:15,625 --> 01:28:17,458
We're not even examining anyone.

1211
01:28:17,458 --> 01:28:19,583
Now, now, gentlemen,
it's only some hand washing.

1212
01:28:19,583 --> 01:28:21,375
Who's first?

1213
01:28:23,041 --> 01:28:24,166
All right then.

1214
01:28:25,916 --> 01:28:28,750
This comedy will only last
two more weeks anyway.

1215
01:28:29,541 --> 01:28:31,750
I hope there will be a result.

1216
01:28:31,750 --> 01:28:33,125
There's one already.

1217
01:28:34,375 --> 01:28:38,458
Eight women gave birth last week
and everyone's healthy.

1218
01:29:21,416 --> 01:29:23,416
Ignác, please help.

1219
01:29:23,416 --> 01:29:25,041
Clara's been in labor
since yesterday morning.

1220
01:29:25,041 --> 01:29:26,666
She can't push the baby out.

1221
01:29:26,666 --> 01:29:28,458
In Kollár's department?

1222
01:29:28,458 --> 01:29:30,708
Bloody hell, does it matter
whose department it is?

1223
01:29:30,708 --> 01:29:32,708
It's about my wife's life!

1224
01:29:41,208 --> 01:29:42,833
You can do it, ma'am!

1225
01:29:42,833 --> 01:29:44,375
Gather all your strength.

1226
01:29:46,208 --> 01:29:47,208
Step aside!

1227
01:29:47,208 --> 01:29:48,291
What is it, Semmelweis?

1228
01:29:48,291 --> 01:29:51,041
- Can't you find your own patients?
- Please do what he says!

1229
01:29:55,666 --> 01:29:57,208
Bring ether! Quick!

1230
01:29:58,791 --> 01:30:01,583
Doctor, please save the child!

1231
01:30:05,833 --> 01:30:07,833
Do you want to operate? Are you mad?

1232
01:30:07,833 --> 01:30:09,708
The baby is too big,
she won't be able to push it out.

1233
01:30:09,708 --> 01:30:12,250
If you let him cut her,
she'll bleed to death.

1234
01:30:12,250 --> 01:30:14,750
If we don't operate, they won't survive.

1235
01:30:25,875 --> 01:30:29,166
Júlia, give me ether
and call Miss Hoffmann!

1236
01:30:29,166 --> 01:30:32,666
Albert, disinfect the scalpel
and the needles with bleach water.

1237
01:30:56,083 --> 01:30:57,125
Give her more ether.

1238
01:31:20,166 --> 01:31:21,583
It's okay.

1239
01:31:24,833 --> 01:31:28,083
Stay calm, please.
We have enough space for everyone!

1240
01:31:28,083 --> 01:31:30,333
I want to give birth
with that miracle worker!

1241
01:31:30,333 --> 01:31:31,583
Me too! Me too!

1242
01:31:31,583 --> 01:31:34,041
You take this, love.
Their yolk is as big as--

1243
01:31:34,041 --> 01:31:36,208
Go to the back of the queue!

1244
01:31:36,208 --> 01:31:37,291
I was here first.

1245
01:31:37,291 --> 01:31:40,166
You two, get your things!
The nurse will see you upstairs.

1246
01:31:40,166 --> 01:31:42,666
Her Ladyship would like to
give birth here?

1247
01:31:42,666 --> 01:31:46,000
Well, if Semmelweis is not coming to me...

1248
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:47,791
I can send Kollár to you.

1249
01:31:47,791 --> 01:31:49,208
Where can my girl unpack?

1250
01:31:50,041 --> 01:31:51,250
I do apologize,

1251
01:31:51,250 --> 01:31:55,166
but Dr. Semmelweis only lets absolutely
essential belongings into the ward.

1252
01:31:55,166 --> 01:31:56,250
I can assure you, ma'am,

1253
01:31:56,250 --> 01:31:59,333
that you will have first rate treatment
in my section.

1254
01:31:59,333 --> 01:32:01,708
Of course you can bring your belongings.

1255
01:32:01,708 --> 01:32:03,833
Please consider, Councillor.

1256
01:32:03,833 --> 01:32:07,291
I am vouching for Dr. Kollár's expertise.

1257
01:32:07,291 --> 01:32:08,458
Enough!

1258
01:32:08,458 --> 01:32:10,875
Semmelweis saved my life once.

1259
01:32:10,875 --> 01:32:12,375
I trust him.

1260
01:32:13,166 --> 01:32:16,166
Take these back, Vilma.
Only the small trunk stays.

1261
01:32:17,166 --> 01:32:19,458
- Lead the way.
- This way, please.

1262
01:32:25,625 --> 01:32:28,333
- Have you no shame?
- What do you want?

1263
01:32:28,333 --> 01:32:31,541
You're breaking the rules,
reaching over Professor Klein's head,

1264
01:32:31,541 --> 01:32:34,416
throwing me out of my department
and tricking Mrs. Baumgartner?

1265
01:32:34,416 --> 01:32:36,291
Don't tire yourself out, Kollár.

1266
01:32:37,333 --> 01:32:38,625
I'm not plagued by guilt.

1267
01:32:40,083 --> 01:32:42,833
Are you really incapable of
being thoughtful of others?

1268
01:32:44,041 --> 01:32:46,791
I'm only being thoughtful of my patients.

1269
01:32:47,583 --> 01:32:49,166
I see you're so self-important

1270
01:32:49,166 --> 01:32:52,541
you don't even notice who's your friend
and who stabs you in the back.

1271
01:32:53,208 --> 01:32:57,083
Who do you think told Professor Klein
that you dissected Kolletschka?

1272
01:32:59,375 --> 01:33:00,791
Don't take it to heart.

1273
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:03,333
That's women for you.

1274
01:33:20,416 --> 01:33:21,416
Is it true?

1275
01:33:23,375 --> 01:33:25,541
Are you reporting to Klein about me?

1276
01:33:27,708 --> 01:33:28,958
Answer me.

1277
01:33:32,208 --> 01:33:35,208
- Is this why you climbed into my bed?
- Is this what you believe?

1278
01:33:36,666 --> 01:33:39,083
It was easy for you
in the Midwife College too.

1279
01:33:39,583 --> 01:33:41,666
You have no idea about anything.

1280
01:33:41,666 --> 01:33:43,333
You know nothing about me.

1281
01:33:43,333 --> 01:33:44,958
Did you fake love to get my trust?

1282
01:33:44,958 --> 01:33:46,583
I didn't fake it.

1283
01:33:46,583 --> 01:33:48,416
Not about how I feel, Ignác!

1284
01:33:48,416 --> 01:33:50,833
For you, it's Dr. Semmelweis from now on.

1285
01:33:51,791 --> 01:33:55,208
Take your things
and get out of my department!

1286
01:33:55,208 --> 01:33:57,416
This is my department too.

1287
01:33:57,416 --> 01:33:59,875
Nurse Mandel will take your place
from tomorrow on.

1288
01:34:04,083 --> 01:34:05,125
Get out.

1289
01:34:23,125 --> 01:34:24,333
That's it! One last one!

1290
01:34:24,833 --> 01:34:26,083
Last one!

1291
01:34:26,083 --> 01:34:27,166
Deep breath.

1292
01:34:28,083 --> 01:34:29,083
Push!

1293
01:34:31,083 --> 01:34:33,083
Good! Good!

1294
01:34:33,083 --> 01:34:35,333
It's out.

1295
01:34:53,166 --> 01:34:55,166
Thank you, Doctor.

1296
01:34:55,958 --> 01:34:57,208
Thank you.

1297
01:34:57,208 --> 01:34:58,291
Professor,

1298
01:34:59,375 --> 01:35:01,000
Mrs. Baumgartner has given birth.

1299
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:04,250
- Is she healthy?
- Yes, and her baby boy as well.

1300
01:35:05,291 --> 01:35:06,583
Thank heavens.

1301
01:35:36,416 --> 01:35:38,291
- What happened?
- They have a fever.

1302
01:35:39,083 --> 01:35:40,125
That's impossible!

1303
01:35:40,125 --> 01:35:42,041
- How many of them?
- All of them.

1304
01:35:42,041 --> 01:35:44,000
Two of them are in a critical state.

1305
01:35:51,250 --> 01:35:53,208
Mrs. Emmerth died last night.

1306
01:36:03,375 --> 01:36:05,916
Bring ice, quick, and keep changing
the compressions on them!

1307
01:36:05,916 --> 01:36:07,625
We don't have enough people, Doctor.

1308
01:36:07,625 --> 01:36:10,958
- If I leave, who's going to help here?
- I'll take over.

1309
01:36:11,458 --> 01:36:13,375
- What do you want here?
- To help.

1310
01:36:13,958 --> 01:36:15,791
Go back to where you belong!

1311
01:36:15,791 --> 01:36:18,458
It's impossible to look after
this many patients alone.

1312
01:36:18,458 --> 01:36:20,333
Do you know what's impossible?

1313
01:36:20,875 --> 01:36:22,458
Winning battles with traitors.

1314
01:36:23,166 --> 01:36:24,958
Leave my department, young lady.

1315
01:36:29,625 --> 01:36:30,708
Doctor,

1316
01:36:31,666 --> 01:36:32,958
my head is going around!

1317
01:36:35,458 --> 01:36:36,458
Help me.

1318
01:36:36,458 --> 01:36:37,958
Compression, quick!

1319
01:38:10,625 --> 01:38:13,208
Unfortunately, we couldn't save them.

1320
01:38:22,583 --> 01:38:25,250
Be damned, Semmelweis!

1321
01:38:27,958 --> 01:38:29,750
Your experiment has failed.

1322
01:38:30,875 --> 01:38:33,291
I'm taking over your department.

1323
01:38:33,291 --> 01:38:35,375
The three weeks aren't through yet!

1324
01:38:35,375 --> 01:38:36,958
We've waited long enough.

1325
01:38:36,958 --> 01:38:38,791
But nobody died for two weeks...

1326
01:38:41,750 --> 01:38:44,500
Has anyone been here without
washing their hands?

1327
01:38:44,500 --> 01:38:45,916
I oversaw everything.

1328
01:38:46,958 --> 01:38:50,083
Nurse Helga stood in the door at night.

1329
01:38:50,083 --> 01:38:52,541
We did everything
according to your instructions.

1330
01:38:52,541 --> 01:38:54,625
Washbasins, instruments, bedding...

1331
01:38:55,458 --> 01:38:57,791
You could at least admit your mistake!

1332
01:38:58,875 --> 01:39:02,791
I'm also to blame for allowing
this charade to go on.

1333
01:39:04,291 --> 01:39:05,583
Leave this hospital

1334
01:39:06,125 --> 01:39:07,125
at once!

1335
01:39:07,666 --> 01:39:08,666
And you better know

1336
01:39:09,416 --> 01:39:12,375
you can't avoid being impeached!

1337
01:39:35,666 --> 01:39:37,791
A gentleman is looking for you.

1338
01:39:38,500 --> 01:39:39,916
Ignác, we need to talk.

1339
01:39:39,916 --> 01:39:42,958
They want to initiate
disciplinary proceedings against you.

1340
01:39:44,208 --> 01:39:45,750
Could you leave us?

1341
01:39:45,750 --> 01:39:46,916
As you wish.

1342
01:39:49,791 --> 01:39:52,625
They say you broke the rules
on multiple counts.

1343
01:39:54,833 --> 01:39:56,708
- They're right.
- The hell they are!

1344
01:39:57,250 --> 01:39:59,166
Your theory is good, but not perfect.

1345
01:39:59,166 --> 01:40:02,333
You have to continue your research
somewhere where they appreciate you.

1346
01:40:02,333 --> 01:40:03,708
Theory?

1347
01:40:03,708 --> 01:40:05,375
What theory?

1348
01:40:06,500 --> 01:40:07,708
Theory...

1349
01:40:08,250 --> 01:40:09,750
My theory has failed.

1350
01:40:09,750 --> 01:40:11,833
I got you a boat ticket to Budapest.

1351
01:40:11,833 --> 01:40:13,333
You'll get home in two days.

1352
01:40:15,291 --> 01:40:16,875
- I'm not running away.
- Don't you get it?

1353
01:40:16,875 --> 01:40:18,541
Just once, listen to me!

1354
01:40:19,166 --> 01:40:20,708
You could be indicted.

1355
01:40:22,666 --> 01:40:23,875
So be it.

1356
01:40:28,416 --> 01:40:30,291
I was weighed in the balance...

1357
01:40:34,875 --> 01:40:36,750
and found wanting.

1358
01:40:37,958 --> 01:40:38,958
Have you heard that

1359
01:40:38,958 --> 01:40:41,833
disciplinary proceedings are being
initiated against Dr. Semmelweis?

1360
01:40:42,500 --> 01:40:43,625
You haven't?

1361
01:40:44,416 --> 01:40:45,750
My husband told me.

1362
01:40:46,625 --> 01:40:48,291
They say he's not
a miracle worker after all.

1363
01:40:48,291 --> 01:40:49,833
Yes, he is.

1364
01:40:49,833 --> 01:40:52,041
He saved both of your lives.

1365
01:40:58,458 --> 01:40:59,708
Can you give it, please?

1366
01:41:07,625 --> 01:41:10,541
Thank God that damned smell is gone.

1367
01:41:10,541 --> 01:41:11,625
What smell?

1368
01:41:11,625 --> 01:41:15,041
I don't know what they washed it with,
but...

1369
01:41:15,750 --> 01:41:17,791
a few days ago, it corroded my skin.

1370
01:41:17,791 --> 01:41:19,916
My back was full of red spots.

1371
01:41:23,875 --> 01:41:25,166
Semmelweis is here!

1372
01:43:03,666 --> 01:43:07,250
In the name
of the Public Health Council of Vienna...

1373
01:43:10,041 --> 01:43:14,375
I hereby open the disciplinary hearing
of Ignác Semmelweis,

1374
01:43:15,250 --> 01:43:18,166
licentiate senior lecturer,
assistant lecturer.

1375
01:43:23,708 --> 01:43:24,750
The charge:

1376
01:43:25,708 --> 01:43:29,875
Ethical and disciplinary offense
on 25 counts.

1377
01:43:30,916 --> 01:43:37,000
Five of these against
the administrative protocol of the clinic.

1378
01:43:38,125 --> 01:43:43,208
Four against
the collegial behavior protocol.

1379
01:43:44,625 --> 01:43:50,583
Two for the impairment
of the clinic's ready assets,

1380
01:43:50,583 --> 01:43:53,500
as in one padlock and one lock.

1381
01:43:54,416 --> 01:43:55,416
As well as...

1382
01:43:57,125 --> 01:44:00,333
disrespect towards the management

1383
01:44:00,333 --> 01:44:04,875
and his superiors
in the scientific hierarchy.

1384
01:44:05,833 --> 01:44:07,291
In addition...

1385
01:44:09,083 --> 01:44:14,000
necromania, discrediting medical science,

1386
01:44:15,250 --> 01:44:17,916
misleading women in labor,

1387
01:44:19,166 --> 01:44:20,916
charlatanism.

1388
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:30,500
Can I help you, miss?

1389
01:44:36,708 --> 01:44:37,833
Do you recognize this?

1390
01:44:38,416 --> 01:44:43,333
I know the bedding of every hospital
in Vienna, even with my eyes closed.

1391
01:44:44,750 --> 01:44:47,916
Then you know that this belongs
to the clinic's obstetrics department.

1392
01:44:47,916 --> 01:44:50,333
Have you an objection
about the cleanliness?

1393
01:44:50,333 --> 01:44:51,416
Yes.

1394
01:44:51,416 --> 01:44:53,583
Why are you not using chlorine?

1395
01:44:53,583 --> 01:44:55,208
We are using it.

1396
01:44:55,208 --> 01:44:57,750
Sheets washed
with chlorine have a pungent odor.

1397
01:44:58,583 --> 01:44:59,750
This doesn't.

1398
01:44:59,750 --> 01:45:01,916
Good nose you have there, lady.

1399
01:45:01,916 --> 01:45:04,791
Dr. Semmelweis ordered it
specially with a councillor's permit.

1400
01:45:04,791 --> 01:45:05,958
Why did you stop?

1401
01:45:05,958 --> 01:45:07,083
Hans!

1402
01:45:11,541 --> 01:45:13,541
Have you been skimping
on the bleach powder?

1403
01:45:13,541 --> 01:45:15,333
You stinky thief!

1404
01:45:15,333 --> 01:45:16,416
I haven't.

1405
01:45:17,500 --> 01:45:20,708
Do you see, miss?
No one's been skimping nothing.

1406
01:45:21,458 --> 01:45:22,791
Good day to you.

1407
01:45:23,833 --> 01:45:26,000
Who asked this of you? Dr. Kollár?

1408
01:45:26,750 --> 01:45:28,791
Do you think doctors and gentlemen
come down here?

1409
01:45:28,791 --> 01:45:31,541
- I know you're lying.
- Enough!

1410
01:45:32,625 --> 01:45:35,791
Leave at once,
before I stop asking politely.

1411
01:45:35,791 --> 01:45:38,208
Not until you tell me who's been here.

1412
01:45:38,208 --> 01:45:39,666
Hans!

1413
01:45:39,666 --> 01:45:41,250
Escort the lady out.

1414
01:45:41,250 --> 01:45:43,875
Looks like she likes us so much,

1415
01:45:43,875 --> 01:45:45,291
she doesn't want to leave.

1416
01:45:45,291 --> 01:45:47,041
Would you still laugh if you knew

1417
01:45:47,041 --> 01:45:49,500
that nine women and four infants
have died because of this?

1418
01:45:54,208 --> 01:45:56,250
How can you prove your theory?

1419
01:45:59,916 --> 01:46:03,000
The smell of cadaverine
has been all over my hands for years.

1420
01:46:03,791 --> 01:46:06,625
Soap did not remove it,
but calcium hypochlorite did.

1421
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:11,666
Your experiment still failed.

1422
01:46:12,625 --> 01:46:18,416
More people have died in your department
this week than last month altogether,

1423
01:46:19,083 --> 01:46:20,083
is that right?

1424
01:46:21,416 --> 01:46:22,416
That's right.

1425
01:46:22,416 --> 01:46:24,791
Can you explain why?

1426
01:46:26,083 --> 01:46:27,166
Regrettably, not yet.

1427
01:46:28,166 --> 01:46:29,500
Is it possible

1428
01:46:29,500 --> 01:46:34,208
that bleaching powder added to
the decline of the state of the patients?

1429
01:46:34,208 --> 01:46:35,375
Not possible.

1430
01:46:35,375 --> 01:46:37,791
Puerperal fever is caused by cadaverine.

1431
01:46:37,791 --> 01:46:41,583
Professor Klein, can you confirm this?

1432
01:46:41,583 --> 01:46:42,916
Unfortunately, no.

1433
01:46:42,916 --> 01:46:44,375
That's not true.

1434
01:46:44,375 --> 01:46:47,000
You saw it, acknowledged it.
Now you're denying it?

1435
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:48,166
Calm down.

1436
01:46:48,791 --> 01:46:52,083
You're only making your situation worse.

1437
01:46:52,083 --> 01:46:54,375
In the first few weeks,
there was some improvement.

1438
01:46:54,375 --> 01:46:55,666
Some?

1439
01:46:56,541 --> 01:46:58,291
There weren't any patients with fever.

1440
01:46:58,291 --> 01:47:00,583
But then the epidemic broke out again.

1441
01:47:01,500 --> 01:47:04,750
We've experienced
similar fluctuation before.

1442
01:47:04,750 --> 01:47:10,541
Which means the theses of Dr. Semmelweis
were not verified in practice.

1443
01:47:11,833 --> 01:47:12,958
Let's make a note of this.

1444
01:47:14,875 --> 01:47:19,041
After the interval,
we'll continue with hearing the witnesses.

1445
01:47:53,291 --> 01:47:55,208
Miss Emma Hoffmann.

1446
01:48:01,666 --> 01:48:04,208
How long have you been working
beside the doctor?

1447
01:48:05,208 --> 01:48:06,916
For over two months.

1448
01:48:08,083 --> 01:48:10,375
During this time, you've seen a lot.

1449
01:48:11,583 --> 01:48:15,916
For example that Semmelweis broke
into the archive, is that right?

1450
01:48:17,500 --> 01:48:18,333
That's right.

1451
01:48:18,333 --> 01:48:22,458
Even though hospital protocol
prohibits it,

1452
01:48:22,458 --> 01:48:26,208
he dissected one of his colleagues,
Dr. Kolletschka.

1453
01:48:26,208 --> 01:48:28,708
Yes. I helped him.

1454
01:48:34,166 --> 01:48:36,916
What kind of a person
do you know Semmelweis to be?

1455
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:40,500
The kind who does not adhere to the rules.

1456
01:48:41,708 --> 01:48:43,875
Whose angry outbursts...

1457
01:48:44,875 --> 01:48:47,625
terrify midwives and medics.

1458
01:48:48,500 --> 01:48:50,875
And the kind who...

1459
01:48:51,791 --> 01:48:54,000
does everything for his patients.

1460
01:48:55,125 --> 01:48:57,333
And doesn't kill them.

1461
01:48:58,125 --> 01:49:00,375
Like any doctor at the clinic.

1462
01:49:00,375 --> 01:49:01,750
I wouldn't say so.

1463
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:04,750
How do you mean?

1464
01:49:05,666 --> 01:49:08,583
Do you think there's someone
who intends to cause harm?

1465
01:49:08,583 --> 01:49:09,833
Yes.

1466
01:49:09,833 --> 01:49:13,208
The one who's stopped cleaning
the bedding with bleach powder.

1467
01:49:13,208 --> 01:49:14,333
Dr. Kollár.

1468
01:49:15,416 --> 01:49:18,125
The number of deaths increased after this.

1469
01:49:18,125 --> 01:49:19,333
This woman's gone mad.

1470
01:49:20,083 --> 01:49:22,291
What do I have to do with laundry matters?

1471
01:49:22,291 --> 01:49:24,875
The first symptoms
appeared Friday afternoon.

1472
01:49:25,750 --> 01:49:29,166
New laundry arrived Thursday morning.

1473
01:49:29,166 --> 01:49:34,333
But that was not washed with chlorine
as had been ordered by Dr. Semmelweis.

1474
01:49:36,875 --> 01:49:40,041
Because someone ordered the laundry man
to do otherwise on Wednesday.

1475
01:49:40,041 --> 01:49:43,083
You don't think I'm going to
the laundry place like a servant?

1476
01:49:43,083 --> 01:49:45,958
- Ridiculous!
- Henry Grass's laundry service.

1477
01:49:46,625 --> 01:49:48,500
It's from your office.

1478
01:49:50,250 --> 01:49:54,125
I can prove that I'd spent the Wednesday
shift here in the department,

1479
01:49:54,125 --> 01:49:55,416
and never left.

1480
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:57,583
I have several dozen witnesses!

1481
01:49:58,125 --> 01:50:00,583
Please, take into account

1482
01:50:01,666 --> 01:50:02,833
that this woman

1483
01:50:03,541 --> 01:50:05,291
is Dr. Semmelweis's lover!

1484
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:08,625
Is that true, young lady?

1485
01:50:11,166 --> 01:50:12,666
It was.

1486
01:50:17,083 --> 01:50:18,125
Quiet!

1487
01:50:19,500 --> 01:50:22,500
Word goes to the director.

1488
01:50:23,875 --> 01:50:27,583
Unfortunately, I was the one
who hired Miss Hoffmann

1489
01:50:28,541 --> 01:50:31,041
in spite of her ill reputation.

1490
01:50:31,791 --> 01:50:35,041
But it looks like blood
is thicker than water.

1491
01:50:35,708 --> 01:50:39,166
She persisted
in her immoral behavior here too.

1492
01:50:39,833 --> 01:50:41,958
Decide who you believe.

1493
01:50:41,958 --> 01:50:46,541
A spoiled woman
or the clinic's best specialist?

1494
01:50:51,416 --> 01:50:53,041
Dr. Kollár is telling the truth!

1495
01:50:53,583 --> 01:50:55,250
Thank you, young lady.

1496
01:50:55,250 --> 01:50:58,000
He really didn't leave the clinic
for one minute

1497
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:00,541
because he sent me to the laundry service.

1498
01:51:02,541 --> 01:51:05,333
He entrusted me to cancel
washing with bleach powder.

1499
01:51:06,875 --> 01:51:09,083
And I was the one
who gave him the receipt.

1500
01:51:09,083 --> 01:51:12,083
This is a monstrous lie!
Surely you won't believe this servant?

1501
01:51:12,083 --> 01:51:13,416
Why not?

1502
01:51:14,583 --> 01:51:19,666
Or is it always doctors
who have indestructible authority here?

1503
01:51:19,666 --> 01:51:22,500
And the midwife is just a woman
with a dubious past,

1504
01:51:22,500 --> 01:51:25,375
who can be seduced
and thrown away like filth?

1505
01:51:27,791 --> 01:51:28,958
Dr. Kollár,

1506
01:51:29,958 --> 01:51:31,375
tell us the truth.

1507
01:51:32,375 --> 01:51:36,625
Did you stop washing with bleach powder
or not?

1508
01:51:36,625 --> 01:51:38,500
What if I did?

1509
01:51:38,500 --> 01:51:41,583
We had complaints
about itchiness and rashes.

1510
01:51:41,583 --> 01:51:43,666
I just wanted to improve
the mothers' well-being.

1511
01:51:43,666 --> 01:51:46,750
Washing with bleach powder's
also expensive!

1512
01:51:55,583 --> 01:51:57,750
This is about five kreuzers,

1513
01:51:57,750 --> 01:52:01,000
which can save the lives
of exactly two birthing women.

1514
01:52:02,708 --> 01:52:04,250
Do you think that's expensive?

1515
01:52:10,833 --> 01:52:11,916
There.

1516
01:52:11,916 --> 01:52:13,083
Ten kreuzers.

1517
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:15,375
This is how much you saved.

1518
01:52:23,625 --> 01:52:25,083
Dr. Kollár.

1519
01:52:25,833 --> 01:52:27,875
I, along with the patients,

1520
01:52:28,416 --> 01:52:29,875
have trusted you.

1521
01:52:31,166 --> 01:52:32,750
And you took advantage of that.

1522
01:52:35,125 --> 01:52:38,708
Councillor, I recommend
the acquittal of Dr. Semmelweis

1523
01:52:39,375 --> 01:52:44,791
and Dr. Kollár's immediate impeachment
in the severest way possible.

1524
01:52:45,583 --> 01:52:46,916
Not enough!

1525
01:52:46,916 --> 01:52:49,708
Dr. Semmelweis needs justice!

1526
01:52:51,791 --> 01:52:53,791
Thanks to him, we're both alive!

1527
01:52:54,541 --> 01:52:56,166
He saved my life!

1528
01:52:57,208 --> 01:52:59,541
He's the savior of mothers!

1529
01:53:20,500 --> 01:53:22,500
- Congratulations, Doctor.
- Thank you.

1530
01:53:23,041 --> 01:53:24,083
Thank you for everything.

1531
01:53:40,875 --> 01:53:42,000
Not now, Gertrúd.

1532
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:43,541
Fine by me.

1533
01:53:43,541 --> 01:53:45,708
But someone's looking for you.

1534
01:53:46,583 --> 01:53:47,625
May I?

1535
01:53:49,208 --> 01:53:50,208
Professor?

1536
01:53:54,541 --> 01:53:58,291
I once started out in a room like this.

1537
01:53:59,208 --> 01:54:02,958
My father was a poor miller,
he couldn't support me.

1538
01:54:04,041 --> 01:54:06,208
I also had big plans then.

1539
01:54:06,208 --> 01:54:08,708
I assume you didn't come
to tell me about your youth.

1540
01:54:11,500 --> 01:54:12,500
No.

1541
01:54:14,083 --> 01:54:15,166
You're right.

1542
01:54:16,791 --> 01:54:18,958
I would like to apologize.

1543
01:54:21,166 --> 01:54:23,333
I should have believed in you.

1544
01:54:29,791 --> 01:54:32,666
I would also like to appoint you
to be the Head Physician

1545
01:54:32,666 --> 01:54:35,041
of the Obstetrics Department.

1546
01:54:35,041 --> 01:54:36,125
Thank you.

1547
01:54:37,166 --> 01:54:38,291
But I won't accept it.

1548
01:54:39,416 --> 01:54:41,666
The work will continue
somewhere else for me.

1549
01:54:42,958 --> 01:54:44,125
In Hungary.

1550
01:54:45,833 --> 01:54:48,875
Do you want to leave
Vienna's most esteemed clinic?

1551
01:54:51,208 --> 01:54:53,375
Working here was all I'd dreamed of.

1552
01:54:55,458 --> 01:54:56,750
But I want to heal.

1553
01:54:57,666 --> 01:54:58,875
Not to fight wars.

1554
01:54:59,833 --> 01:55:01,625
You don't have to fight wars.

1555
01:55:02,958 --> 01:55:04,083
I'm resigning.

1556
01:55:05,458 --> 01:55:07,208
You could manage the clinic.

1557
01:55:07,791 --> 01:55:10,041
You could choose your colleagues.

1558
01:55:10,041 --> 01:55:11,416
Why are you resigning?

1559
01:55:13,291 --> 01:55:16,375
I used to do autopsies myself.

1560
01:55:17,416 --> 01:55:20,125
And when I delivered my daughter's baby...

1561
01:55:25,416 --> 01:55:27,958
I infected her with my own hands.

1562
01:55:33,958 --> 01:55:35,458
It's not your fault.

1563
01:55:36,708 --> 01:55:40,000
I still have to deal with my conscience.

1564
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:41,333
As do we all.

1565
01:55:42,375 --> 01:55:44,833
We've infected hundreds
of women and children.

1566
01:55:48,833 --> 01:55:50,916
Think about those you could save,

1567
01:55:51,625 --> 01:55:54,041
not the ones you couldn't.

1568
01:56:04,833 --> 01:56:05,833
<i>And where are they now?</i>

1569
01:56:05,833 --> 01:56:07,500
I have no idea.

1570
01:56:07,500 --> 01:56:10,125
I don't follow
what the dismissed staff is up to.

1571
01:56:12,916 --> 01:56:14,083
Doctor.

1572
01:56:14,583 --> 01:56:16,208
I know where they are.

1573
01:56:18,875 --> 01:56:21,583
As soon as I find a job,
I'm coming back to get you.

1574
01:56:21,583 --> 01:56:23,083
I don't want to stay here.

1575
01:56:23,083 --> 01:56:25,416
At least you have a roof over your head.

1576
01:56:25,416 --> 01:56:28,375
- And where are you going?
- Don't worry about me.

1577
01:56:29,083 --> 01:56:30,416
I'll figure something out.

1578
01:57:07,208 --> 01:57:10,916
Why are you here?

1579
01:57:16,416 --> 01:57:18,625
To thank you for what you did.

1580
01:57:20,125 --> 01:57:22,041
I owed this much to you.

1581
01:57:24,291 --> 01:57:28,375
Maybe... I haven't judged your situation
with the required prudence.

1582
01:57:32,541 --> 01:57:34,291
Are you going to continue your research?

1583
01:57:38,333 --> 01:57:39,416
Yes,

1584
01:57:40,208 --> 01:57:41,875
but I'll return to Pest.

1585
01:57:45,916 --> 01:57:47,041
And you?

1586
01:57:47,625 --> 01:57:51,958
I hope I can find a job
and take my sister in.

1587
01:57:54,041 --> 01:57:55,041
So...

1588
01:57:56,458 --> 01:57:58,458
who knows
if we'll ever see each other again?

1589
01:58:01,916 --> 01:58:02,958
I'm glad

1590
01:58:03,916 --> 01:58:05,416
to have met you.

1591
01:58:05,416 --> 01:58:07,791
I've learned a lot from you,
Dr. Semmelweis.

1592
01:58:20,875 --> 01:58:21,958
What is this?

1593
01:58:23,875 --> 01:58:24,958
A letter.

1594
01:58:26,250 --> 01:58:27,708
To you.

1595
01:58:27,708 --> 01:58:29,791
In which I explain...

1596
01:58:30,750 --> 01:58:32,375
why you have to come with me.

1597
01:58:34,041 --> 01:58:35,458
"Have to"?

1598
01:58:37,375 --> 01:58:38,750
Why I want you to.

1599
01:58:40,833 --> 01:58:42,791
Along with your sister, of course.

1600
01:58:43,791 --> 01:58:45,750
I... don't know...

1601
01:58:47,250 --> 01:58:49,041
I don't know what to say.

1602
01:58:49,583 --> 01:58:51,958
Do read it though.

1603
01:59:01,166 --> 01:59:03,541
My boat leaves tomorrow at 5:00 p.m.

1604
01:59:23,041 --> 01:59:24,375
<i>Dearest Emma,</i>

1605
01:59:25,666 --> 01:59:30,958
<i>if you knew how many clumsily written
sentences testify that</i>

1606
01:59:30,958 --> 01:59:33,041
<i>for a scientific man like myself,</i>

1607
01:59:33,041 --> 01:59:36,833
<i>it appears an impossible task
to talk about matters of the heart.</i>

1608
01:59:37,916 --> 01:59:38,916
Wait.

1609
01:59:56,625 --> 01:59:58,416
Come, sir, or you'll miss the boat.

1610
01:59:58,416 --> 01:59:59,833
We're about to set off.

1611
02:00:01,000 --> 02:00:02,666
<i>And in the meantime, I think,</i>

1612
02:00:02,666 --> 02:00:03,750
<i>if you were here,</i>

1613
02:00:04,250 --> 02:00:05,333
<i>you'd help,</i>

1614
02:00:06,208 --> 02:00:08,375
<i>and we'd solve the impossible.</i>

1615
02:00:08,375 --> 02:00:10,541
<i>Like the way you supported me many times,</i>

1616
02:00:10,541 --> 02:00:13,916
<i>stood by me and kept me going,
even in my darkest hours.</i>

1617
02:00:16,541 --> 02:00:20,625
<i>You must know how sorry I am
about every hurtful word I said.</i>

1618
02:00:22,416 --> 02:00:25,625
<i>Maybe the words I'm even more sorry about</i>

1619
02:00:25,625 --> 02:00:28,500
<i>are the unsaid ones that
would have made it clear to me...</i>

1620
02:00:30,833 --> 02:00:32,166
<i>that I need you.</i>

1621
02:00:33,625 --> 02:00:35,166
<i>You are important to me.</i>

1622
02:00:35,166 --> 02:00:37,291
<i>And I believe we belong together.</i>

1623
02:00:39,583 --> 02:00:42,875
<i>Please, if you believe it too,
come with me.</i>

1624
02:00:45,541 --> 02:00:46,541
Excuse me.

1625
02:00:53,458 --> 02:00:54,916
I thought you weren't coming.

1626
02:00:54,916 --> 02:00:57,958
I might have been late,
but I never let you down.

1627
02:00:59,833 --> 02:01:01,083
Thank you for that.

1628
02:01:13,125 --> 02:01:15,666
"Please, if you believe it too,
come with me.

1629
02:01:15,666 --> 02:01:18,333
If not, still come
and I'll prove to you I'm right."

1630
02:01:20,875 --> 02:01:22,291
I took it too far...

1631
02:01:24,250 --> 02:01:26,250
- didn't I?
- You didn't.

1632
02:01:31,208 --> 02:01:32,416
Look!

1633
02:01:34,291 --> 02:01:35,791
I had these made for you.

1634
02:01:37,291 --> 02:01:38,791
Thank you.

1635
02:01:48,166 --> 02:01:49,208
How are they?

1636
02:01:54,041 --> 02:01:55,333
I can see!

1637
02:03:08,791 --> 02:03:09,833
More than ten years passed

1638
02:03:09,833 --> 02:03:12,041
before Louis Pasteur announced
his discovery on bacteria

1639
02:03:12,041 --> 02:03:13,166
at a scientific conference,

1640
02:03:13,166 --> 02:03:15,416
which finally proved
the accuracy of Semmelweis's theory.

1641
02:03:15,416 --> 02:03:18,041
After going back to Hungary,
Semmelweis continued the fight

1642
02:03:18,041 --> 02:03:20,083
at Rokus Hospital,
which was managed by him,

1643
02:03:20,083 --> 02:03:23,250
and where he saved the lives
of thousands of mothers and children.

1644
02:03:23,250 --> 02:03:26,666
At the end of his forties, Semmelweis
started to show signs of psychosis.

1645
02:03:26,666 --> 02:03:28,708
He passed away in a mental hospital
in Döbling.

1646
02:03:28,708 --> 02:03:31,875
But his name will endure forever:
Ignác Semmelweis, the savior of mothers.
