Since ancient times, we have often

had to record diseases whose

etiology could not be established.

With the development of medicine, we began to delve deeper into the history of

disease, and thus the phenomenon, previously considered the origin of so-called

demonic forces modern medicine treats as a very specific symptom, virus and the

like The main difference between N phenomena is the will of the entity,

that caused the disease to arise.

Here and further we stand on a firm

scientific basis that allows us to

assert that neither so-called demons,

nor devils, nor larvae do not exist,

and may be mentioned further only for the purpose of

facilitating communication, though.

This is something not everyone agrees with, even in our...

Rit! Rit!

You don't have to wait for breakfast, do you?

Oh, great. I'll order my own!

Uh-huh. Rit! Rit?

Are you in the bathroom?

Rit!

Oh, really? Are you asleep?

Rit. You... what are you scaring me so much for, huh?

Rit.

Rit. Now, now, now

Is that an employment contract?

And this is...

Smoking is prohibited.

Staying in high-risk areas is prohibited. What kind of areas?

Are we on a first-name basis yet?

What are we signing with? Blood?

Let me ask you something. You're a laryngeal cancer survivor, right?

Uh-huh.

That's not how you remove a tool. Traumatic amputation?

Undressing?

Let's get undressed.

And underwear?

No. No. It's--it's--it's army. I was

a combat medic. Burned with him.

It's kind of like a talisman.

Are you serious?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, where--

Why?

In turn entails paralyzing narcolepsy,

depression, or some other...

А! Kirill Alexandrovich!

Welcome. Please have a seat.

Since you're late, we'll probably have to start all over again, won't we?

They burned my stuff in there.

In Human Resources. I didn't do it by choice.

Of course, of course, of course! It's not your fault.

May I?

Let's do this on the beach.

I'm new here. I don't really know what you guys are doing here.

But obviously something weird?

So if you have rules, directives, regulations

out there, you can talk about it right now.

And I, in turn.

I'll try to honor them, so to speak,

in exchange for remission support.

I don't know how you do it,

but I believe in you with all my heart.

That was a brilliant speech. Brilliant.

But luckily, the Chief Medical Officer has asked me to

supervise you personally. And I'm going to give you the full rundown.

What do you say we continue this meeting?

So the patient is

thirty-seven years old.

Sleep paralysis for two months on a daily basis.

I was examined in the thirty-ninth neurology department.

There are no direct pathologies, no other complaints, history is hardly aggravated.

The scout who recommended her said she

complained of voices in her head but refused a psychiatrist.

There may be signs of the manifestation of the N-essence of the undefined genome,

but it's not clear, it's unclear.

Suggestions?

In confession, we'll see.

Trite, yes, but look, look.

I've been on confession duty for two weeks! What do you mean?

Please, do I ask you that much?

Okay.

The attending physician is our esteemed Kirill Alexandrovich.

I'm a surgeon.

I'm the one who deals with sleep paralysis?

Kirill Alexandrovich... In my department,

doctors do what I tell them to do.

Anechka will help you.

Of course, Anechka has nothing to do after the night shift, so....

- Then first I'll need, uh. - AN MRI.

MR.

First we need to get rid of your little problem in your head.

Otherwise, your lovely pains will be back by tonight.

I'll see you in the treatment room.

Kurt! You're assisting me. The rest of you are dismissed.

Be careful with her.

Yeah, I get it.

Shit!

Maybe the nurse should have done better, no?

You either have no experience at all,

or you really don't like me very much.

First, stop repeating the "ch" word.

Second, pain is an integral part of

the preparation for the procedure.

Can I ask why we're doing an LP?

It's not an LP.

- What is it then, I'm embarrassed to ask? - Oh, Kirill Alexandrovich,

there are so many amazing things in the world.

I envy you. There's so much to discover...

Come on, guys.

Guys, let's just not hold me. Okay?

Kirill Alexandrovich.

Okay. Quiet.

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

I'm gonna pull the needle out now. You keep your mouth shut, okay?

Uh, yeah, yeah. Uh, Kurt.

Quiet. Quiet. I told you to keep your mouth shut!

Quiet.

All of them. Everything. Everything.

- What's that? - Your glioblastoma.

But don't get your hopes

up, it's just a symptom for now.

The actual disease hasn't gone anywhere and can bring back the tumor if you want it to.

It's alive.

What, did it get scary at last?

Now you need to remember only one thing, Kirill Alexandrovich. Hold on to me.

You've done some wrong to me.

Maybe I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself.

You said that to Sergei Nikolayevich yesterday.

- Who? - The doctor of sciences.

With whom you had sexual intercourse in the office.

His name is Sergei, right?

I'll remember.

Kirill Alexandrovich, sorry to interrupt you, there's a patient waiting for you.

Would you like to take over?

Kirill Alexandrovich, I see you've settled in.

Hello. My name is Kirill Alexandrovich, I'm your attending physician.

This is Anya. I don't remember her middle name.

Hello!

- Well, shall we go? - Sash, who's that with him?

It's the husband. I refused to go without him.

You know, you don't know where you're going, you don't know why.

- It's not good. - А...

I don't want to.

Please. I'll find another neurologist.

I promise I won't miss it. I don't like it here.

Rita, listen.

Let's have one good examination

and you won't scare me.

Do we have a deal? You're welcome.

Shall we?

- Where to? - Follow me.

- Don't worry, it'll be fine. - Let me take that.

I'm sorry, Cyril.

- Alexandrovich. - Alexandrovich.

I realize you have, uh, uh, uh. Special methods.

You know what I was thinking?

It's been passed down in the family for generations.

Maybe it'll help.

We'll try to make it on our own for now.

Okay. So the typical diagnostic method

is a technique called verbal questioning.

This method is used for patients who are capable of verbal

contact and for those who lack primary "replacement" personalities.

Don't touch it, please.

We call it a confession.

Theoretically, in simple cases, you can limit yourself

to verbal questioning, but for a more thorough

investigation, you need to... Could you hold still, please?

Uh, excuse me.

But a more thorough examination requires

immersing the patient in an MRI machine,

supplemented with clinically appropriate overrides.

With amulets? Like that bag, huh?

Like that one...

Like that bag, yeah.

In the documentation it's called trigger-tone, but for

ease of understanding I'm telling you in our language...

internal.

Protection.

The amulet. Okay. What do we do?

- Rita, can you hear me? - Yes!

I see the paralysis. We'll look into it.

What about the voices? Why didn't you get a psychiatrist?

- Rita, can you hear me? - Uh, yeah.

I'm saying the paralysis is understandable. We'll look into it.

What about the voices? Why didn't you get a psychiatrist?

Because I'm not crazy.

So far, so logical.

The voice... he doesn't often.

It's just that sometimes. I feel

like someone's holding me down.

Then I wake up and I can't move, I can't talk.

Where's the hold? Spine, neck?

- Neck. Right there. - Please don't move.

And then I start to choke.

Scout brought her here because she had multiple bruises on her body.

So either her husband's beating her, or it's really our profile.

You got it?

MRI's blank. We need to look at an encephalogram.

Unless we confirm somnambulism or an anxiety disorder,

we'll be looking for a pathologic brain mass or deformity.

What do you think we're dealing with here, colleague?

Sleep paralysis.

Provoked by severe agitation, disruption of biorhythms, panic,...

Encephalogram...

Probably not. Flunitrazepam and verbal formula.

What's a verbal formula?

How can I put it to you so simply, to make it clear.....

"conspiracy.

" I get it.

We're gonna treat sleep paralysis with sedatives and incantations?

Any objections?

I don't think so. I feel like we'll work well together, colleague.

You can count on me.

I'm with you all the way.

Bitch.

No, I realize you're all a little crazy here, but it's just.

the queen of inadequacies.

- Banned EEGs? - She did.

- Coffee? - Oh, fuck it.

I don't know how you guys do it around here. Bones, baggies,

bugs. But I'm good at something, too.

Flunitrazepam, huh? All right.

(chuckles) She'll have flunitrazepam.

Kirill Alexandrovich.

Dr...

Why don't I just go home for now?

It doesn't really happen that often I'll

just show up when there's a relapse.

I'd love to let you go, but if

you come out of here unwell,

I'm gonna die of grief.

So I'm gonna have to get treatment.

I know this drug.

- Can I have that much? - Of course you can.

You tell me. Am I allowed that much?

I have no right to question the doctor's orders.

That's right.

Okay. I need to call my husband.

I'm not staying here. I just don't like it here.

- Pants down, please. - Are you sick?

Yeah, but that's beside the point.

What do you want from me?

Yes... Turn around, please.

It's in your best interest.

I'll sue you!

I'll sue you! Are you trying to poison me? Are you sick?

Are you trying to poison me? Are you--

That's it.

That's it.

Anything done in the patient's best interest is the right thing to do.

Where's your EEG?

Either you die, or the ward manager will kill you.

And me along with you.

I'm just doing my job.

Put it up.

All right, now we wait.

We're clear.

You see this? Theta rhythm?

It occurs in some forms of altered consciousness.

Yeah. How did you--

It's a dysfunction of the medial stem structure.

But it's minor.

Let's see.

- How I envy her. - You go if you have to.

The ward manager told me to help you.

And you don't want to argue with her.

Well, you must think the head of the department is an incredible authority.

I'm not impressed yet.

You're fine, you're probably going to die soon.

Wake up!

What?

Background paroxysmal epileptic activity.

Yeah, I can see that. The only question is where it came from.

- Am I the only one hearing this? - Uh, no.

Interesting. How about a little more?

Don't.

I should put one of these in my house.

It's awesome.

First new doctor in two years, and he's a pervert.

- Enough already! - Take it easy.

Is that it?

- Seizure? - No, it doesn't look like it.

- Take the impulse. - Then we won't know anything.

You'll kill her!

I don't think so. I've seen more active orgasms.

Go ahead, tell me how great you are. Now would be a good time.

It's time to look at the activity zones here and here.

Okay.

She's awake. She's awake. She just can't move.

It's all very, very curious.

And I told you the EEG was a great idea!

You're a complete idiot...

What were you looking at?

I haven't quite figured out how this place works yet.

But, usually, to solve a problem,

you must first find its localization.

And we found it. Okay, new guy.

He won't be around much longer. But you should understand.

All patients lie!

That rule works one hundred and thirty percent of the time.

I apologize. I'm still here for now.

Not for long.

Our patient won't get rid of the problem because

she doesn't want to get rid of it. It's obvious.

What? I don't get it.

Wait for me here.

Kurt!

Is that what I think it is?

You're gonna get it.

Hi.

And you're, uh.

Irina Lvovna, head of the ward.

I don't understand why you can't discharge me. Is this some kind of prison?

I can take responsibility, sign anything.

I promise-- Explain to your attending, what's his name?

Kirill Alexandrovich, huh?

He's not even in the right frame of mind.

You think you've been given the wonderful gift of being able to get things in

your dreams that your spouse doesn't give you? It's very, very nice, I know.

I'm nothing of the sort... It's a creature that

comes to you. Sooner or later, it's going to kill you.

It will be a very pleasant death. But a death.

He-- Doesn't do anything like that.

- You don't understand. - Don't understand what?

How nice and fun is it to sleep with an incubus?

Believe me, I can imagine. How does he come to you?

A handsome brunette?

Incubi usually come to us in the form of our secret desires.

Which is exactly what I needed to prove. It's fresh.

Hematoma means he's already come to the final stage.

Cholecystectomy won't help.

Chole... what?

Gall bladder removal.

That's where the ND-2I is contained.

I wanted to do it, but it's too late.

You're going to the discharge tomorrow.

Please.

Do you hear me? You don't have to tell my husband.

I'm asking you very much. You mustn't tell your husband. You mustn't--

You have this... doctor-patient confidentiality!

Is that all you're worried about?

You're going to die.

It'll be quite pleasant. But very, very soon.

Kirill Alexandrovich, your creator, for whom I

have infinite respect, provoked the incubus to

active actions by the method of electric impulse.

It's like treating pharyngitis with ice cream.

Now the incubus knows he's being pressured.

You can't take him out the traditional way, he's ready to defend himself.

Therapy is pointless, the chances of

saving the patient by surgery are minimal.

He'll squeeze her dry, then eliminate her.

And if we try to extract it, he'll kill her a little sooner. But not as nice.

If I may, I'd suggest we kick them both out.

both the patient and the attending.

Honestly, this is the first time I've seen such an irresponsible employee.

Give him another night.

Let him try. I think he has the ability.

You and I both know that's not why you're keeping him here.

One more thing, Irina Lvovna.

Give him full access.

Yeah, let him read all the materials.

Another bad suggestion.

All right, then.

Not that I'm in a hurry. It's just, uh.

Another door? Nice.

I take it you're not just in charge of human resources, huh?

Careful!

Okay, uh.

How do you categorize everything here?

What is this, uh. wear?

You got a gold reserve here?

Are you just gonna stand there all night?

Or when your class bell rings?

Yeah. That's definitely better.

It's all very exciting, of course.

There's nothing with pictures?

Or an alphabetical index?

Where am I supposed to find these incubi of yours?

You're looking in the wrong place.

This is ND-1, and you need ND-2I and beyond.

- Second rack. - Whoa!

I see you've been exiled here, too? How long have you been awake?

She volunteered.

And this is, uh.

Just try to say something nasty.

One word and I'm gone.

Not our security guard.

Her name is Albina. She's the supervisor of control.

Whatever that means.

- Kirill Alexandrovich. - Yes?

I'm here because I care about a

patient who could die because of us.

- You too, I hope? - Amen.

This is where most of the information on N phenomena is collected.

What the clinic managers have

seen fit to train staff in various years.

What phenomena?

I can't understand your terminology yet.

What we used to think of as so-called demonic forces.

We interpret these as very specific symptoms.

The etiology of these diseases suggests the presence of certain substances.

Med school grad with a B.A., right?

- Shall I continue or will you read it yourself? - Uh, yeah. Sure. Uh, excuse me.

In the main classification, there are three kinds of this kind of entities.

The lower the number, the more dangerous it is for the patient.

Accordingly, incubus is the unofficial name for ND-2I syndrome.

That is, it is of the second degree and is of medium danger.

An incubus is a demon of voluptuousness.

It responds to the patient's psychological need for

a sexual partner by activating a hormonal surge at

night, perceived by the patient as a sexual act.

There is another option, for men, it is called a succubus.

Demons are just a "type" of conscious disease, nothing more.

It's as if the flu molecule grew a thousandfold

and gained a full intelligence of its own.

And they can't survive long in our world as separate entities.

They need a human being like we, I don't know, need a spacesuit in space.

The most dangerous of these are the first category, ND-1.

What's ND-3 then?

The simplest type of entity.

Almost harmless. If you follow, if you follow certain rules.

Lairds, nightmares. ND-3H.

ND-3H - I know that. Those are the ones you can't name, right?

Not allowed.

Okay, so incubus and succubus are group two. That's a little more serious.

And where do I read about them?

It is written that the operative method of disconnecting the

patient and the incubus involves removing an unidentifiable

stone from the gallbladder using an amethyst coating on the

instrument, which prevents the incubus from lingering.

I haven't heard of a stone.

The protocol calls for a complete gallbladder removal.

Well, that's what Irina Lvovna suggested right away.

Only now it's useless, because as soon as the incubus

senses that it's at a distance from the patient, it will kill her.

This nasty thing is allergic to amethyst.

It's very interesting, but so far, it's not helping.

Can I get you some water?

No, thank you.

Did you wash your hands?

Empty.

Come on, damn it!

Easy. Easy, easy, easy.

Don't move.

Come here.

My good man.

Go on. Go on.

See? It's okay. No one's gonna hurt you here anymore.

What the f-- Just try to say the "f" word!

I'll never sleep with you again!

Я... It's--I know her.

It was pulled out of me. It's an ND-3H. Kert breeds them sometimes,

but quietly, of course, as long as the management doesn't see them.

Thought I'd put it on the cooler.....

I wish he'd canned it properly. Oh, okay.

- How long are you going to lie there? - What did you say?

- I'm saying, would you like a job? - No, no, that's not what I meant.

About conservation.

Here's an idea.

I'm talking about the incubus.

How?

You won't do it?

Say you won't do it....

I love you...

because she didn't love anyone.

The patient can't break up with her lover because otherwise he will kill her?

That's fine. Let's keep it together.

We will give her an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography,

capturing the gallstone with a loop with a small dissection for ICH.

If this thing is really set in stone....

we seal it into a pendant along with an

amethyst that reduces incubus activity.

It was Ana's idea, by the way.

I only came up with the pendant.

In doing so, the incubus will sense her presence, but will not be able to harm her.

This will allow her to enjoy sex with her

lover, but only when she herself wants to.

And without the unpleasant consequences of sleep paralysis and other additional trauma.

So you're not suggesting getting rid of the disease, but controlling it.....

- That's right. - Not bad. Not bad.

Ward 11, who do we have in there?

Rita.

- Rita. - Uh, excuse me.

Clear!

Two hundred.

Clear!

No, no, no, no.

Don't even think about dying!

Not now!

No rhythm.

Hands!

Two hundred.

Clear!

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

This is where I was strangled. Just until I started choking.

Do something. Please.

Take it away... I'm begging you. Take him away. I don't want to die like this.

There's another option.

An experimental way...

If that's any way to put it in this clinic.

How's it going in there? Is the patient ready?

What's wrong with him?

After the night's cooler incident, Curt was banned from

breeding ND-3H in the resident's room under threat of termination.

How did they find out about the incident last night?

I'm required to report such events.

I'm sorry! This is a clinic

and there are guidelines!

You know, I think I'm starting to see what your problem is.

You're too right. You're just too right.

Passing into the duodenum ...

duodenal papilla.

X-ray.

I don't see anything.

I read that he's unidentifiable.

We'll have to grope. Dormia's basket.

- You or me? - Yourself.

Slower now.

Slower.

Right side.

How's your sensitivity?

It's fine.

No. Empty.

- Maybe your textbooks are wrong. - No, it can't be.

It's definitely an incubus. The patient confirmed it herself.

He should be here on the right side.

No nerves. Let me do it.

Look, as hard as it is for you to accept, a

female surgeon is no worse than a male surgeon.

He just doesn't seem to be here.

- What did you say? - He's not here.

No, I mean the woman. Give it to me.

What are you doing?

Our ward manager's right about one thing. Patients always lie.

It's not an incubus.

Gender mistake.

And he's not on the right. What do you mean?

It's on the left.

Do you see that?

See what?

I don't know what you're doing, but you're definitely moving in the right direction.

Got him!

We're not saying goodbye, are we?

No..

I don't know, I guess.

My little liar.

Here you go. You can take it from here.

- Okay. - There. Perfect.

Cool.

Oh, now...now.

I'm sorry, it'll go away.

It's gonna let go.

Oh, now.

.. now. Now. Take it out, take it out.

- Don't tell me anything. - I'm not going to say anything.

You don't say!

That's it. That's it.

Take it, please.

Don't point that at me!

Excuse me, please.

I should probably go.

I'm sorry.

What am I supposed to do with this?

Just wear it on your body? Or put it under the pillow?

Any contact, even through a tool, should be enough.

I guess under the pillow would work, too.

And you have to think about how you're going to explain all this to your husband.

I know who you think I am.

That's true, I guess.

Maybe I don't love my husband. But I respect him a lot, and I've had

plenty of time to think about it. And I don't want to hide anything anymore.

Rit!

Oh, here we go.

Can you be more specific?

I'm paying for research, for tests.....

I'm looking for some options to put her in that hospital.

And you're helping her keep it all together?

Fuck you!

And you're off.

Enjoy.

What do you want from me?

Well, you know, I'm always up for an adventure.

But keeping him here is more like suicide.

What, are you that tired?

What about the hospital? It doesn't matter, does it?

You know, on the contrary.

I think, uh, it should be left right here,

at arm's length.

And it is highly desirable to let it work.

I need him to take care of someone.

The most important thing to remember that first and foremost he is still

a man.

For how long?
