- I think they're in the head.

- What about love?

- You're religious, right?

- Of course.

We just fix bodies here.

You're talking about the soul.

We won't change your husband.

He'll be healthier.

So nothing from this heart

will pass onto him?

The heart is a pump.

A wonderful one, but just a pump.

- Where are you going?

- What? You fired me.

Don't be stupid,

Go back to the OR.

And these people

want nothing in return?

- They want...

- How much?

They want their son

to save someone's life.

Andrzej... we've got a donor.

- Who is it?

- I don't know.

Young?

- You realize it's a risky operation.

- It's always risky.

But it's no f*ggot or a Jew?

Or, even worse. a woman?

It's a man.

Gornik needs me on the bleachers.

Then there's the wife

and kids.

And if it won't work with me,

will you keep on trying?

The first transplant,

Zabrze, October 1985

Are we ready?

Godspeed.

- Andrzej. how are you feeling?

- All right.

- A little nervous?

- Wouldn't you be?

- Did you have breakfast?

- No.

A shot of cognac?

We'll give you a shot.

it won't hurt.

Was it you who stole the cabbage?

We're ready.

The patient is stable.

We can begin collecting.

Aortic clamps.

Suction.

The guy is heartless.

Last stitches.

- The heart is in.

- 52 minutes.

Stable.

Moment of truth.

Fibrillating.

Defibrillator, 20.

Clear...

Go!

- Once again, 20.

- Set.

You got it? Clear...

Going out of the ECC.

ECC stopped.

OK. Let's close.

Take the swab out.

- We need to call the media.

- Why?

What does a hen do

when it lays an egg?

- It clucks?

- Exactly. Call them.

- Reports. boss.

- It's the middle of the night.

In our world. the night is a day at work.

Adrenaline!

Defibrillation!

Charge.

Clear!

Epinephrine. again.

Clear!

Go!

Time of death:
8:02 pm,

6th day after the transplant.

Find a new donor.

He risked the life of both patients,

for fame.

He went outside the box...

so off with his head?

Without the courage to go forward

you'll never get anywhere.

The second transplant.

Zabrze. November 1985

Yesterday, in Dr Religa's clinic

in Zabrze,

30 days after the surgery,

the second heart recipient died.

Will Dr Religa solve the problem.?

And, more importantly, should he try again?

How should I know?

- Don't shout.

- The patient is ready.

- Where is Romek?-Absent.

- Marian?- Operating.

We need a decision

about the patient in 3.

- Is he stable?- He was earlier.

- Dr Religa has arrived.

- Thank God.

- I don't know...

- What's going on?

- Take care of him. I'll operate.

- You?

- Will you?

Don't I have a right?

Can't I have lunch?

Give me the keys!

Sorry. boss. but no way.

Then pack your stuff,

I don't want to see you here.

Understand? You're fired!

Get out.

Please, don't let him drive.

Oh. my sweet honey...

You. come with me.

Give me the keys.

I want to go my home.

to Warsaw. for lunch.

No way, boss.

Come here.

It's an opportunity of a lifetime.

In honor of your merits,

I give you all my surgeries.

- Sure. boss.

- Get to work.

- Give me the keys!

- Boss...

Do you really think

I won't start my car without the keys?

- Maybe I should drive you.

- You're a lousy driver!

- Wanna bet?

- That you can't drive?

Or that I'll fire you?

That no car will overtake me.

I guess I'll take the train back.

Romek...

what was the bet about?

If I win.

I'll perform my first surgery.

Right.

When you get back,

hire Krysia again.

Everyone wrote this patient off.

so I thought we could try.

I was clear'. we're taking a break

from transplants.

There's so much to be done

in cardiac surgery.

that you're just being

a pain in the ass!

No one else will take him.

He knows where he came.

What are his chances?

10 percent? 15?

Less.

Let me see.

Motherf***er.

- Are we closing? The heart is weak.

The 3d transplant, April 1986.

- The left ventricle is distending.

- The venous pressure is too high.

- Something is wrong.

- We shouldn't have taken him.

Are you saying

we shouldn't save his life?

I'm saying that some cases

are hopeless!

Doctor. leave the OR, please.

You are fired.

Now.

Good luck, Marian.

Marian. you're my deputy now.

Kid. scrub up!

Does anyone else question

the point of this clinic?

There's no point

in going back to the pump.

It would be best to support

this heart with another heart.

We'd need a new donor.

but... I don't know...

Maybe a xenogenic transplant?

- What would be the best?

- A monkey.

Not many of them around, but...

Go, hire Dr Bochenek back,

and send him for a pig.

You go with him. Kicka

will take over. Are you up to it?

I am.

You'll call the Wroclaw zoo

and ask them for a baboon.

Tell them a man's life's at stake.

We'll hook him up

to a pig's or monkey's heart.

and try to find a new donor.

Let's do it!

It stinks like a human inside.

18. That's it.

A fine specimen.

Now you have to put it to sleep.

- How much does it weigh?

- How should I know? You're the anesthesiologist.

I need to know its weight.

For the dosage.

- Then f***ing ask her!

- I wouldn't know how to intubate it:

orally. or just cut it's throat.

Cut it's throat?

Through the snout.

Run! We have a patient on the table.

Sorry. boss. It died in transport.

Who? The pig!

I don't know!

What do you want me to do? An autopsy?

We gave it valium,

and it got a heart attack.

Pigs are sensitive.

What?

Another one?

Yes. of course.

Take it out. We're closing.

I found a donor.

Just don't tell Religa.

Why?

The guy died 2 hours ago.

Not a word to the DA

about this circus.

Good morning.

Time of death:
5.50 pm.

Direct cause'. asystole

due to right ventricular failure.

CPR was performed

for about an hour.

Any more questions. sir?

Do you have the autopsy results?

During the autopsy

no signs of rejection were found.

The transplanted heart infarcted,

probably right before the transplant.

You transplanted a heart

with an infarction?

The collected organis not tested like it

Would be on a healthy individual. It's impossible.

We couldn't have known

about the infarction.

We won't trouble you anymore.

I'm shutting down

- the transplantation program.

- Hold on, doctor.

I'm not done yet!

Who is Dr Religa's deputy?

It's 3 am!

- Where is my home?

- Boss...

Where is my home?

The Doctor couldn't make it.

he sent me instead.

We have tons of work,

a lot of surgeries...

and he... it's amazing

that you have such a husband.

- You think?

- Yes. He...

The Doctor is completely

devoted to his work.

I can tell.

- You're a saint.

- I'm pissed, not a saint, professor.

- Doctor.

- Give this to me.

"Religa. you're not God."

"Quit killing people,

ambition has eaten your conscience."

Poznan Health Dept.

We have to go back to the clinic.

I guess I'm going to quit.

Don't you see he won't let go?

Don't you all see it?

Feeling happy is a game changer.

I was happy when we persuaded

the Dutch to treat our kids.

- You told me.

- Yes. but then I thought'.
