Your beIt, too.

Excuse me, I...

Can I say something?

I think you've made a mistake. I don't know why I'm here.

I haven't done anYThing. I'm a doctor. If you want a ransom...

I'm not the right person.

Scared.

It's kind of a change.

OK...

Lights out!

Shit!

You done?

I wanna hurt you.

But I don't know how.

I wanna break you.

You ruined my Iife, now I'II destroy yours.

I'm gonna make you suffer. I'm gonna kiII you.

Then I'II kiII myseIf, too.

I don't know who you are. I treat Iots of peopIe.

I can't remember everyone.

- You save peopIe, huh? - I try to heIp them.

That wouId've been good.

It's disgusting. I'm not hungry.

What's the pIan here?

You on a hunger strike now?

Think that'II change anYThing?

If you kiII yourseIf, that's fine with me.

That rings a beII for me.

Not you?

Enough! I'm hungry.

"I'm hungry"?

I'm fucking hungry!

My name's Yann Ochberg.

We met two years ago.

It'II come back to you.

The court determined that there was no medicaI maIpractice.

Listen, no operation is 1 00% risk free.

They usuaIIy go smoothIy. But sometimes accidents happen.

And peopIe die.

Every year, 700,000 peopIe contract

hospitaI-acquired infections in France.

That's 7% of aII patients, 4,000 die after minor operations.

In ob-gyn, it's onIy 0.9%.

I don't understand that kind of taIk.

I did my best.

I heIp peopIe by operating on them.

After that,

it's not my responsibiIity. Go to a priest

or a shrink or whoever.

I'II never know if it was your fauIt or not.

But you're the one who's gonna pay.

I understand that you want vengeance.

I take responsibiIity.

It's too Iate for that.

Drop it. I know you don't give a damn.

I couId have forgiven you but you didn't even come to the triaI.

That I can't forgive.

On a human IeveI, you're piece of shit.

And you want to make me better?

I just wanna be abIe to cope. I don't give a fuck about you.

So what do we do now?

We wait.

We do nothing at aII. We wait.

What's that disgusting smeII?

It's inhuman to Iive with that smeII.

You shouIdn't Iet yourseIf go.

Get your bucket.

To the right.

I need some cIothes.

You shouId've brought a suitcase.

No more rice and pasta.

Bring me something fresh. A saIad.

An appIe wouId be perfect.

Here's a change of cIothes. They're mine.

So that won't be perfect.

You were right, you Iook terribIe.

I don't understand what you want.

I was wrong, I shouId have been more sensitive.

But you can't keep me here. It serves no purpose.

I can't Iet you go.

It's too Iate.

Leave me aIone. I'm tired.

How about a beer? We can toast!
