I can't go back to Torgau,

I can'! stand it.

Doctor, I'm having a child.

It's got to go.

Do you want it removed?

- No...

I want to take it away from here.

From Torgau,

from this sh*t country.

Thanks.

Sh*t

Sorry.

Come along.

Lie down for an hour.

No, I'm fine.

- I'll wake you

and we can swop.

I'll do that.

Thanks.

Yes.

Morning.

- Morning.

Did you sleep?

- Yes.

I brought you a coffee.

Thanks.

Will you put this in your report?

"W. is slowly becoming trusting.

Something like that.

I was working at Eberswalde Hospital.

There were new machines from New Zealand

to help prematurely born children

who wouldn't make it

in a regular incubator.

The operating instructions

were in English and 260 pages long.

I worked my way through them.

There was this assistant...

She spoke a bit of English. She helped.

She wanted to impress me.

One night, when I was as tired as now,

she brought me a blanket,

told me to sleep,

she'd take care of things.

She switched on the machines that night,

made only one mistake:

She confused celsius and fahrenheit.

Massive pressure was generated.

The premature infants' retinas detached.

There were two of them,

Maik and Jennifer.

We managed to save them,

but they were blinded for life.

It was my responsibility.

Research was out.

No more Berlin, no more Charite.

These gentlemen

offered to have the case hushed up.

I could transfer to a

provincial hospital

in exchange for confidentiality

and my delivering reports.

I have no ambitions in this regard.

Hon long ago was this?

Three years.

What kind of machines were they'?

The ones from New Zealand.

Was my story too long?

Too neat?

Can you do something for Stella?

Keep her here for longer'?

Yes.

Two days, maybe three. And then what?

Do you know what Torgau is?

The Torgau work-house?

Your lot are good at euphemisms.

Torgau is an extermination camp

a Socialist one.

I asked you a question!

What?

What then?

I've no idea.

I called them.

Two days, no more.

Is the story true?

Maik and Jennifer.

I have to sleep.

Let me go!

Barbara!

Let go. Now.

Barbara!

Coming.

Doctor Wolff?

- Yes.

Andre sent me.

Doctor Reiser.

To tune the piano.

Thanks but no thanks.

I'm having a bath.

Please leave.

Good bye.

Andre gave me this.

For you.

How long would it take?

An hour.

She's keen, Tatjana Kasankina.

It's her third Olympic medal.

She gave birth two years ago

but she's in great form.

Tatjana Kasankina

it seems to have gone well.

But the GDR's Christiane Warlenberg

is keeping up, and then Ulrike...

Fall from the third ?oor,

on the ground 20 minutes.

It was the janitor who found him...

Dislocation of the knee,
