[00:13] Elise; internal
    I have no way out!
[00:22] Elise
    M-Mil?
[00:26] noble faction 1
    P-Prince Mikhail?
[00:28] noble faction 1
    Why are you here?
[00:31] Mikhail
    I happened to overhear you two talking.
[00:34] Mikhail
    And I had a bad feeling about it.
[00:39] Mikhail
    I was hoping that my feeling
    wasn't right, though.
[00:53] Mikhail
    It's a shame.
SIGN    A Path
[02:30] noble faction 1
    P-Prince Mikhail, please hear me out!
[02:33] noble faction 1
    We took this action for the
    the future of the nobles' faction!
[02:37] noble faction 2
    Rest assured, the only ones to
    dirty their hands will be us!
[02:41] noble faction 2
    So, please—
[02:41] Mikhail
    So Elise has to die? Is that what you mean?
[02:45] Mikhail
    Don't jest with me.
[02:47] Mikhail
    If you harm Lise even in the slightest...
[02:50] Mikhail
    you will not be punished lightly!
[02:54] man 1
    What are you losing your nerve for?
[02:56] man 1
    If we don't kill that woman,
    we won't get our reward!
[03:02] man 1
    Let's do this!
[03:03] man 2;3
    Yeah!
[03:23] Mikhail
    Lise!
[03:27] Mikhail
    I'm sorry I put you through
    such a terrifying experience.
[03:30] Elise
    I'm all right.
[03:34] Elise
    Right now...
[03:36] Elise
    I must go to His Majesty
    as quickly as possible!
[03:42] Mikhail; internal
    How can you be so strong?
[03:47] Mikhail
    All right. I'll escort you to the hospital.
[03:55] Mikhail; internal
    Please, find a way to help my father.
[04:04] Elise
    What is His Majesty's condition?
[04:05] Graham
    Systolic blood pressure, 60. Pulse, 160.
[04:09] Graham
    Breathing, 35. It's fast.
[04:11] Elise; internal
    There are no problems with his lungs.
[04:13] Elise
    Were there any abnormalities in his tests?
[04:15] Graham
    No.
[04:16] Ven
    Everything was normal.
[04:18] Elise
    Normal?
[04:20] Elise; internal
    And yet he's in shock,
    and his breathing is labored.
[04:25] Graham
    What could the problem be?
[04:28] Elise
    Increase his drip infusion!
[04:29] Elise
    And administer his medicine!
[04:31] doctor 1
    Yes, miss!
[04:33] Elise; internal
    We're out of time.
[04:35] Elise; internal
    If we don't discover the cause
    right now, His Majesty will...
[04:41] Elise; internal
    I won't let that happen!
[04:44] Elise; internal
    Back then...
[04:46] Elise; internal
    His Majesty had had quite a lot of alcohol.
[04:50] Elise; internal
    But there aren't any illnesses which
    react with alcohol to create this state.
[04:55] Elise; internal
    Not as far as I know...
[04:58] Elise; internal
    Was there anything else out of the ordinary?
[05:04] Elise
    It can't be...
[05:05] doctor 1
    There's no reaction to the infusion.
[05:07] doctor 1
    His blood pressure has dropped even further!
[05:11] Graham
    Rose, shouldn't we call the crown
    prince and third prince here?
[05:17] Graham
    That way, his family will be here
    to watch over him at the end.
[05:20] Ven
    Lady Clorence...
[05:22] Ven
    you've done everything you possibly could.
[05:26] Ven
    And thanks to you, His Majesty has
    managed to hold on this long.
[05:32] Ven
    I'm sure that His Majesty...
    will be grateful to you in heaven.
[05:38] Elise
    All right. Please call His Highness,
    the crown prince.
[05:45] Elise
    And make preparations
    for surgery as well.
[05:56] Linden
    Elise, how is my father?
[05:59] Elise
    His condition is critical.
[06:03] Elise
    However, there is a method that
    might just save His Majesty's life.
[06:11] Linden
    What is it?
[06:12] Elise
    His Majesty was sitting for the whole
    four hours of the awards ceremony.
[06:18] Elise
    That's in spite of the chronic
    illness he suffers from.
[06:22] Elise
    Afterwards, he coughed up
    blood, had chest pains,
[06:25] Elise
    fell into shock, and developed
     labored breathing.
[06:27] Ven
    That's right. But the tests
    all showed no irregularities.
[06:31] Elise
    Yes. However, what if a blood clot has
    formed in an artery of the lungs?
[06:37] Graham
    It can't be. His Majesty has...
[06:42] Elise
    A pulmonary embolism.
[06:44] Ven
    I see.
[06:46] Elise
    It isn't certain.
[06:48] Elise
    It's just a possibility.
[06:52] Elise; internal
    That's right.
[06:53] Elise; internal
    There's no way to test for a pulmonary
    embolism with the technology of this era.
[06:58] Elise
    If it's a pulmonary embolism, we'll
    have to open up the chest, the arteries,
[07:01] Elise
    and the heart itself with a
    scalpel to remove the clot.
[07:05] Elise
    But...
[07:07] Elise
    in His Majesty's current condition, the
    stress of open heart surgery is too great.
[07:13] Elise
    And if we expose his heart and
    it isn't a pulmonary embolism...
[07:18] Elise
    then there...
[07:21] Elise; internal
    As a doctor, if there's even the slightest
    chance, then I want to perform the surgery,
[07:26] Elise; internal
    but this isn't something
    I can decide on my own.
[07:30] Elise; internal
    I have to respect his family's wishes.
[07:33] Elise; internal
    And all the more because
    His Majesty isn't a normal patient.
[07:41] Linden
    Please perform the surgery.
[07:45] Linden
    If there is a possibility that
    my father might be saved...
[07:48] Elise
    Are you certain?
[07:52] Linden
    I trust you.
[07:57] Elise
    I will do my utmost!
[08:12] Elise
    Now, let's begin.
[08:20] Elise
    Scalpel, please.
[08:25] Elise
    In order to approach the heart
    and pulmonary arteries,
[08:28] Elise
    I'll have to cut through the sternum.
[08:31] Elise
    Please bring the instrument
    to cut through bone.
[08:41] Graham; internal
    Her technique in cutting
    the sternum is perfect.
[08:48] Elise
    Scalpel.
[08:51] Elise; internal
    Please...
[08:54] Graham
    What is it?
[08:58] Elise
    There's no clot.
[09:02] assistant 2
    Blood pressure dropping!
[09:04] Elise; internal
    As I thought, the blood loss is taxing.
[09:07] Elise
    Use your fingers to temporarily
     control the bleeding!
[09:10] Elise
    I'll wait for his blood
    circulation to stabilize!
[09:12] doctor 1
    R-Right!
[09:17] assistant 2
    His blood pressure has stabilized.
[09:21] Graham
    We should suture him up right away.
[09:25] Graham
    Rose?
[09:26] Elise; internal
    Not yet.
[09:29] Elise; internal
    I have to check the other blood vessels.
[09:36] Elise; internal
    I found it!
[09:40] Elise
    Long, thin forceps!
[09:43] Ven
    There really was one!
[09:48] Elise
    Because there was a blood
    clot in a pulmonary artery,
[09:51] Elise
    he wasn't able to recover from his shock.
[09:56] Elise
    That finishes this surgery. I'll suture—
[10:00] Elise; internal
    What is that?
[10:04] Elise
    Forceps again.
[10:08] Graham
    Rose, what is that mass?
[10:11] Elise
    It looks like a lymph gland mass.
[10:16] Elise
    Could this be the cause
    of His Majesty's illness?
[10:23] Elise
    Losing weight, reduced energy...
[10:25] Elise
    and this pulmonary embolism, too...
[10:28] Elise
    those are all complications
    seen with lymphoma.
[10:32] Elise
    If it's lymphoma, then it explains
    all of His Majesty's symptoms!
[10:38] Elise
    I'm so glad! This should alleviate
     His Majesty's symptoms!
[10:57] Elise; internal
    Mil.
[11:03] Elise; internal
    The power struggle between the nobles'
    faction and the royal faction
[11:08] Elise; internal
    will likely continue, unchanged.
[11:11] Elise; internal
    But, if someday...
[11:13] Elise; internal
    if someday, those two can
    stand together and laugh...
[11:20] Elise
    Excuse the intrusion.
[11:22] Ell
    Elise! How was the surgery?
[11:24] Elise
    It was a success!
[11:27] Linden
    Is that true?
[11:28] Elise
    Yes!
[11:30] Chris
    Lise! Well done!
[11:32] Chris
    You're amazing!
[11:34] royal faction 1
    I'm so glad!
[11:35] royal faction 1
    And with this, the suspicion surrounding
    Crown Prince Linden should be cleared.
[11:39] Ell
    Yes! Yes.
[11:42] Elise
    I'm sorry. I'll take my leave now.
[11:46] Chris
    Don't tell me you mean to go
    to the testing site, Lise.
[11:50] Ell
    You just performed that major surgery!
[11:53] Ell
    And you haven't slept at all!
[11:56] Ren
    Don't push yourself so hard.
[11:58] Ren
    You can simply let this test go by, can't you?
[12:04] Elise
    No. Thank you for worrying about me,
[12:08] Elise
    but I'm all right.
[12:11] Graham
    Go and do your best on that test, Rose.
[12:15] Elise
    I will!
[12:31] Elise
    Prince Linden?
[12:35] Linden
    Get in. I'll escort you to the testing site.
[12:44] Linden
    Lady Elise.
[12:45] Elise
    Y-Yes?
[12:47] Linden
    You have my thanks, both as the
    crown prince and as a son.
[12:51] Elise
    Oh, no, it wasn't...
[12:57] Elise
    It may be difficult for His Majesty to
    perform official functions as he used to.
[13:04] Elise
    But...
[13:06] Elise
    I'm certain that he'll smile at
    us again, the way he used to.
[13:13] Linden
    I see. I see.
[13:19] Linden
    I had thought that my father might
     never open his eyes again.
[13:30] Linden
    Thank you.
[13:40] Elise
    Well then, I'll go now.
[13:47] (Flashback) Elise
    However, I absolutely will not give up!
[13:50] (Flashback) Elise
    I will become a doctor,
    no matter what it takes.
[13:52] (Flashback) Elise
    Until the moment that
    this life of mine ends,
[13:56] (Flashback) Elise
    I want to save as many
    lives as I possibly can.
[13:59] Linden
    Lady Elise!
[14:05] Linden
    Back then, I thought that our paths
    ran counter to each other, but...
[14:13] Linden
    Even if we walk different paths,
[14:17] Linden
    I hope that one day they will cross again.
[14:22] Linden
    I can't stop wishing for that.
[14:28] Elise
    Y-Your Highness, what do you mean?
[14:31] Linden
    After you've finished your test, let's go
    to Cafe Lait and have a strawberry tart.
[14:37] Elise
    Lord Ron? But why...
[14:42] Elise; internal
    I've heard that the royal family has a tool
    that allows them to change their appearance.
[14:49] Elise
    Prince Linden, could it be that you're...
[15:02] examiner
    Please begin the exam.
[15:08] Elise; internal
    This is...
[15:11] Elise; internal
    These questions are like the ones
    on Japan's NMPQE or the USMLE.
[15:17] Elise; internal
    They're all questions concerning
    cases of actual patient treatment.
[15:21] Elise; internal
    Incredible! I'd heard that the exam was
    difficult, but not to this extent.
[15:27] Elise; internal
    Still...
[15:31] Ven
    This time, the subject of discussion
    will be this exam paper.
[15:36] Kyle
    The reason that questions which hadn't
    been approved yet were used on the test
[15:40] Kyle
    was to discover how much recent medical
    knowledge the examinees possessed
[15:44] Kyle
    and also what sorts of ideas
    they held in that area.
[15:48] Kyle
    As a result, it became
    quite a high-level test,
[15:51] Kyle
    and the examinees were greatly perplexed.
[15:56] Kyle
    However, there was one solitary person...
[15:59] Kyle
    who answered every single question.
[16:02] Kyle
    Additionally, the answers were
    ones no one has ever thought of before.
[16:08] Kyle
    For example, in the case of a gastrectomy...
[16:11] Kyle
    the "gastric Roux-en-Y reconstruction"
    referred to in this answer sheet
[16:15] Kyle
    would completely prevent
    reflux from the duodenum.
[16:19] Ven
    Similarly, in the question of treatment
    for a heart failure patient...
[16:23] Ven
    I've labored over this problem for years.
[16:25] Ven
    I never imagined it could
    be solved so simply!
[16:29] Ven
    The masters of both the empire and the
    Republic of Fresgard have debated for years
[16:34] Ven
    and never come to a conclusion
    on any of these questions!
[16:38] Gaut
    The contents of those answers should, by
    all means, be presented at a conference.
[16:43] doctor 3
    Then we shall deal with these answers
    by treating them as correct.
[16:48] Gaut
    And what is the final score?
[16:50] doctor 3
    Ninety-eight points.
[16:54] Gaut
    That would mean that out of a hundred
    answers, only two were wrong.
[16:58] Gaut
    What were those two questions?
[17:00] doctor 3
    The symptoms of pneumonia and the
    method of treatment for a cold.
[17:07] Gaut
    Aren't those the easiest questions?
[17:11] doctor 3
    Well...
[17:17] doctor 3
    The answers were written in
    such a disordered hand
[17:21] doctor 3
    they couldn't be read, so they
    were marked as incorrect.
[17:26] Gaut
    This handwriting is terrible.
[17:33] Ven
    In any case, we can be sure that a genius
    has appeared in the Britia Empire!
[17:38] Ven
    That splenectomy astonished the
    medical community of Laurage,
[17:43] Ven
    and that bold tracheotomy
    saved Duchess Harbour's life.
[17:48] Ven
    The young lady who is the
    first woman to receive
[17:51] Ven
    the Order of the Imperial Rose and
    an honorary knighthood...
[17:54] Ven
    Dame Elise de Clorence!
[17:57] Ven
    It could be that we are witnessing
    a most incredible moment!
[18:02] Ven
    The moment when a doctor who upends the
    status quo and goes down in history is born!
[18:12] Minchster
    Lady Elise attended the
    physician's exam and passed?
[18:17] Vent
    Yes, and with the highest score in history.
[18:23] Vent
    Producing such results when the
    difficulty level was set so high...
[18:29] Minchester
    I did know that she was
    a clever girl, but this?
[18:33] Minchester
    Just how much does she
    intend to surprise me?
[18:39] Vent
    Come in.
[18:42] Elise
    Please excuse the interruption.
[18:46] Minchster
    Elise.
[18:50] Elise
    I'm sorry for coming so suddenly.
[18:53] Elise
    I just thought that I'd like to see Your
    Majesty's face before I report for work.
[18:57] Elise
    How are you feeling?
[18:59] Minchester
    Very well.
[19:01] Elise
    I'm so glad.
[19:03] Minchester
    I heard that you passed
    the physician's exam.
[19:08] Elise
    Yes.
[19:09] Minchester
    Honestly...
[19:11] Minchester
    Everyone was astonished.
[19:14] Minchester
    They said that your exam results were
    so perfect as to be beyond reproach.
[19:19] Elise
    They weren't really.
[19:21] Minchester
    It seems that my desire to distance
    you from medicine was a mistake.
[19:34] Minchester
    Elise.
[19:38] Minchester
    Do you have anything in your
    life which you greatly regret?
[19:43] Elise
    What?
[19:45] Minchester
    I do. I have made the gravest of errors.
[19:51] Minchester
    That's why I was punished.
[19:55] Minchester
    A nightmarish punishment...
[20:02] Elise
    I have them, too.
[20:05] Elise
    All I have are regrets.
[20:08] (Flashback) Linden
    Your father and older brother are dead.
[20:12] (Flashback) Linden
    All of this is due to your
    mistakes and yours alone.
[20:20] Elise
    But, Your Majesty,
[20:23] Elise
    there is no such thing as a person
    who hasn't made a single mistake.
[20:29] Elise
    If we recognize our mistakes as mistakes,
[20:32] Elise
    and truly regret them,
[20:34] Elise
    then chose to move forward in spite of them,
    struggling desperately to live on...
[20:39] Elise
    that's enough.
[20:41] Elise
    That's what I think.
[20:45] Minchester
    I see.
[20:48] Minchester
    As I thought, you are a most wonderful lady.
[20:52] Minchester
    With regards to our wager, I've already—
[20:55] Elise
    Your Majesty.
[20:57] Elise
    All I've done is pass the physician's exam.
[21:01] Elise
    Our wager was for me to prove
    that my work as a doctor
[21:04] Elise
    is more valuable than my
    existence as an empress.
[21:10] Elise
    In the time frame we agreed to,
    before I come of age,
[21:14] Elise
    I will fulfill the conditions of our wager.
[21:17] Elise
    The results of our wager
    haven't been decided yet.
[21:24] Minchester
    Indeed.
[21:35] Elise
    I am Elise de Clorence.
[21:42] Elise
    I am alive.
[21:46] Elise
    I will continue to live for a long
    time in this world as a doctor,
[21:52] Elise
    to protect those I love from tragic fates...
[21:58] Elise
    and to save as many lives as I possibly can.
[22:05] Elise
    Now, we will begin the surgery.
