Excuse me. Where is Dr. Macchiarini?

Okay.

Today is a very special day

for all of us here at Karolinska.

Today, our "Lancet" paper was ranked

among the top ten most important studies

on regenerative research.

However, I would like to remind us

that we're all here because

of the courage of one man,

Andemariam Beyene.

Andemariam was handed a death sentence

before he came to us here in Stockholm.

But today, six months after his surgery,

he is cancer-free

to Iceland, to his family

nearly completed his doctoral

in geothermal engineering.

Yes.

and therefore his life,

has been restored.

Ande, you are a living proof

of what these transplants can achieve.

I would argue it's just the opposite.

We have a successful

operation, a published article,

an additional surgery

from which we can draw

a great deal of conclusions.

But the most important

thing that we've learned

is that we cannot

execute our research here,

not with your team,

not in your facilities.

It's only the fault of the

regulations here in Sweden.

We're shackled by compassionate use.

a campus to conduct additional research.

In Krasnodar, we can

work with full autonomy,

can be used to gain approval

for patient trials back at Karolinska.

I was gonna start asking questions.

Yeah.

That's what I love about you.

That man in Italy had a wife

- Oh, God.

- Who was your patient.

He wasn't mafia.

- He wasn't some stranger.

- Please, Benita.

- He wasn't an enemy.

- Please.

- What did you do to them?

- Baby, don't do this.

What did you do to them?

[SIGHS]

There are certain things I

didn't want to have to tell you.

You're giving me no choice.

Benita, my work, what I do,

is tied to governments, heads of state,

oligarchs.

I've been forced to treat

some very bad people.

And you don't want to go

digging in there, Benita,

because it's dangerous.

It is dangerous for me.

It is dangerous for you.

It is dangerous for Lizzi.

What I'm trying to do is to protect you.

Paolo.

Paolo.

You need to leave.

All of his work,

his his grant, his everything,

it's all based on a lie.

They performed trials

with donors, cadavers,

but never with the

biosynthetic tracheas.

So those pigs from

that first presentation,

they were really just

happy f*cking pigs?

In my rat trials,

there were no evidence

of stem cell growth.

Once the implants went

into the bodies, just

Detachment, infection, fungus.

All leading to collapse of the airways.

No cartilage tissue, no

regenerated blood supply.

"It's like magic."

That's what he said,

how the tracheas work.

And it is.

It's all smoke and mirrors.

Hm.

My trials failed.

They were doomed to fail.

Because he never did any

trials in the first place.

Nate

the patients are the trials.

He's experimenting on people.
