HELLO, MA'AM.
THIS IS THE NEWLY HIRED RESIDENTIAL PHYSICIAN.
I'M MILLA LOREN.
I WORKED AS A FAMILY MEDICINE SPECIALIST FOR 12 YEARS.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
AH, YES. I'M ANNETTE...
...WALDEMAR. NICE TO MEET YOU.
SHOULD I EVEN BE USING HEINER'S LAST NAME AT THIS POINT...?
I'VE BEEN TOLD WHAT HAPPENED.
I'LL MAKE SURE TO PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO YOUR MEDICATIONS.
BY THE WAY...
MR. WALDEMAR ALSO MENTIONED PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING.
I DON'T NEED IT.
IT'S EVEN REQUIRED FOR CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS THESE DAYS.
NO, I REALLY DON'T NEED IT.
I DON'T WANT IT.
I ALREADY KNOW.
THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY MIND.
WHEN STRESS AND PRESSURE SUFFOCATE ME...
...I WANDER HELPLESSLY AT THE BORDERLINE BETWEEN REALITY AND DREAMS.
PERHAPS I'M REALLY NOT IN MY RIGHT MIND.
AND I'M SCARED OF GIVING THAT AWAY.
UNDERSTOOD.
I'LL LEAVE THE QUESTIONNAIRE BEHIND THOUGH, SO PLEASE RECONSIDER.
AND FEEL FREE TO CALL IF YOU NEED ME.
ALRIGHT.
ANNETTE.
I KNOW THAT ARISTOCRATS SHUNNED PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING.
BUT HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO STICK TO THAT OUTDATED NOTION?
AND EVEN IF YOU DO HAVE A PROBLEM...
...YOU'RE JUST SICK.
IT'S NO DIFFERENT FROM A COLD OR A HEADACHE.
I DOUBT THAT.
I MAY LOCK YOU AWAY FOREVER IN A PSYCH WARD.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S FOR YOU TO SAY AFTER THREATENING TO LOCK ME UP IN A PSYCH WARD.
...THAT...
...THAT WAS BECAUSE YOU KEPT REBELLING.
...REBELLING?
IS THAT WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE TO YOU? ME ASKING FOR A DIVORCE?
DON'T TREAT ME LIKE I'M INFERIOR TO YOU.
NO, ANNETTE.
THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK OF ME.
...WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
WHEN DID I EVER THINK OF YOU THAT WAY?
HAA...
LET'S STOP. I'M NOT TRYING TO PICK A FIGHT WITH YOU.
ANOTHER CONVERSATION CUT SHORT.
...FILL OUT THE CONSULTATION SHEET AND GIVE IT TO DR. LOREN.
WHAT PURPOSE...
...DOES THIS LIFE HAVE?
Episode 13
CATHERINE GROTH HAS COME TO SEE YOU.
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO HER ALONE.
DON'T LET ANYONE IN THE RECEPTION ROOM.
I CAN'T ALLOW THAT.
SHE AND I...
...WILL BE MEETING ALONE.
SHE'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN INSPECTION.
AND MAKE SURE TO CARRY THIS KNIFE, JUST IN CASE.
OH...
I...
UH...
OH...
SHALL WE SIT?
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
MUCH BETTER.
I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT.
!!
HER STOMACH...
OH.
I'M FIVE MONTHS ALONG.
...AH...
CONGRATULATIONS...
CATHERINE IS A NEWLYWED, SO A PREGNANCY ISN'T UNUSUAL.
AND THERE'S NO WAY SHE'D KNOW ABOUT MY MISCARRIAGE.
BUT I MISCARRIED, BECAUSE OF YOUR BROTHER.
WILL YOUR CHILD BE BLESSED?
NO ONE EVEN KNOWS MY CHILD EXISTED.
I WANT TO SPIT ALL OF THIS OUT...
...BUT IT WOULDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
YOU'RE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN I EXPECTED.
I THOUGHT YOU'D BE MORE ARROGANT AND SELF-RIGHTEOUS.
WHY...
YOU'RE AN ONLY CHILD.
MARQUESS ROZENBERG'S ONLY DAUGHTER.
IT ISN'T OUT OF LINE TO IMAGINE. IT MAY EVEN BE TRUE.
I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN'T REALIZE IT.
I KNOW YOU'RE AN ONLY CHILD, BUT DO YOU HAVE COUSINS?
...A FEW, BUT WE WEREN'T CLOSE.
I SEE.
I HAVE AN OLDER BROTHER AND A YOUNGER BROTHER.
LIKE OTHER SIBLINGS...
...WE'D ARGUE SOMETIMES, BUT WE STILL GOT ALONG.
MY OLDER BROTHER GRADUATED AND GOT A JOB AT A TRADING COMPANY.
HE WAS AMBITIOUS.
HE WAS A HARD WORKER AND WORKED HARD TO IMPRESS HIS SUPERIORS,
DOING HIS BEST TO CLIMB HIGHER.
HE DID EVERYTHING HE COULD FROM HIS POSITION.
BUT MY BROTHER WAS REPEATEDLY PASSED OVER FOR PROMOTION.
THE BRANCH MANAGER, WHO WAS A NOBLE, STOLE HIS CONTRIBUTIONS.
IT WAS FINE UP UNTIL THAT POINT...
BUT THE NOBLE PROMOTED HIS SON.
JAMES PUT UP WITH EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT I GUESS HE JUST COULDN'T STAND THAT.
AND...
WITH THAT, JAMES JOINED THE REVOLUTIONARY FORCES.
REVOLUTIONARY FORCES.
THE NAME ALONE MAKES IT SOUND QUITE PROPER,
BUT MOST OF THEM WERE LIKE MY BROTHER.
THEY DIDN'T JOIN BECAUSE OF SOME GRAND MISSION, OR BECAUSE THEY HAD THE SKILLS...
THEY WERE JUST ORDINARY, UNREMARKABLE PEOPLE.
I WANT TO RUN AWAY. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.
I HAVE TO LISTEN. I DON’T WANT TO LISTEN.
BUT STILL, STILL...
I DIDN’T WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN THAT. I DIDN’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT ANYWAY.
I DON’T THINK JAMES WAS ANYONE IMPORTANT THERE EITHER.
AT BEST, HE WOULD’VE BEEN A MEANS TO AN END.
I HAVE TO HEAR THIS... AT LEAST A LITTLE...
FIVE YEARS AGO, THEY WERE IN THE MIDST OF A REBEL MANHUNT.
MANY PEOPLE WERE TAKEN,
AND MY BROTHER WAS ONE OF THEM.
WHY SHOULD I LISTEN?
HE WAS SAID TO BE A SPY FOR A HOSTILE NATION WHO SOWED INSURRECTION IN PADANIA,
AND VIOLATED THE LAW OF THE LAND.
DO I NEED TO KNOW THIS?
THE HEAD OF THE INTERROGATION WAS MARQUESS ROZENBERG.
INTERROGATION... OR SHOULD I SAY TORTURE.
HE WAS IMMEDIATELY SENTENCED TO EXECUTION.
MY FIRST AND LAST CHANCE... TO MOVE FORWARD...
AFTER QUICKLY WRAPPING THINGS UP, THE MARQUESS TOOK OFF...
LIKE HE HAD AN URGENT MATTER.
THE PAST I WAS OBLIVIOUS TO...
THAT DAY...
...WAS THE DAY OF YOUR PIANO RECITAL.
THAT...
CONGRATULATIONS, MY LADY!
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!
NOTHING LESS FROM THE ROZENBERG PRINCESS!
WHAT INCREDIBLE TALENT!
THANK YOU! YOU ALL FLATTER ME...
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, HONEY!
OH, MOTHER. YOU'RE EMBARRASSING ME!
WE MUST CELEBRATE THIS MOMENT WITH A PICTURE.
DEAR, COME TAKE A PICTURE WITH US!
THIS WAY, FATHER!
...CLEAN IT UP... NOW...
THE REPORTERS... ARE...
AH YES, I'M COMING NOW!
OF COURSE WE NEED A PICTURE.
HERE WE GO. SMILE!
ONE, TWO, THREE--
New resident physician Milla Loren meets Annette Waldemar and suggests medication monitoring and psychological counseling. Annette refuses counseling, saying she is afraid to admit that her mind is confused. She argues with Heiner over counseling and the threat of a mental hospital, and her request for a divorce heightens the tension. Then five-months-pregnant Catherine Groth arrives; Annette remembers the miscarriage she suffered because of her brother and is filled with pain.
