Dorota arrives at the hospital, where a nurse tells her that the doctor has made an exception -- presumably to give her a status update on her husband. I would hope that partners would have the right to daily visitations at this hellish hospital, but who knows.

As Dorota is walking down the corridor, she sees a body covered and being carted out of her husband’s room. She hurries to the room and sees Andrzej, still alive, but seemingly in horrible shape. He’s sweaty, his body in a misshapen pose, his clothing half off. Curiously, we can see in the corner of the film frame the watcher standing by in the room, apparently with no real role to perform in the hospital.

Dorota calls to Andrzej and asks if he can hear her. She tells him that she loves him very much. She carasses his face. We see the watcher look on, then look away. We see him gasp a bit. His eyes seem partially opened. Water continues to drip into a dish -- now it is taking on a darker, reddish tone. She says his name one more time, then leaves, closing the door behind her.

She goes into the hallway, notes a room where doctors are meeting, then goes into the doctor’s office and summons him through a connecting door to that meeting. The doctor tells his nurse to leave, but Dorota asks her to stay, saying it will only be a minute. She goes on, telling (maybe somewhat thanking?) him for so far evading her husband’s death sentence, but then saying that she is going to have an abortion.

The doctor again tells the nurse to leave, this time for forcefully. After the nurse leaves, he tells Dorota not to do it and then says that her husband is dying. Dorota pauses, then sits down. There is nearly a minute of silence before she asks “how do you know?” The doctor responds that complications have set in rapidly, he hasn’t a chance. This line doesn’t seem to jibe with the clinical conversation from the day before. It found that whatever is growing in him -- presumably cancer -- is progressing. But no complications have been detailed to us.

She then asks him to swear to it, and the doctor does. As Dorota is walking out, the doctor asks if she performs in the philharmonic orchestra. She responds yes. He says that he would like to see her perform some day. She does not respond to this and leaves.

This segment of the film ends with a visually stunning pan. We see Dorota looking out her window. The slats of the blinds partially obscure her. The camera now pans down on the building, mostly through darkness, but we see some lamps lit. Then more darkness ... and the camera drifts a bit to the left. It ends with the doctor staring out the window of his apartment in a red silhouette, the healer now a demonic figure.
