And we are going to do
everything in our power legally,

and by influencing
public opinion,

to have you expelled
from the medical society
of this city.

Once and for all,
we are going to stop

this vile
and horrendous practice

of transferring blood
from one human being
to another,

if we have to have proper laws
enacted to do it!

Are you... Are you through,
Dr. Simon?

We have repeatedly warned you.

Up until recently, you were one
of the most respected physicians
in San Francisco,

and a good doctor.

But you have totally disregarded

all accepted methods
of medical practice.

They're right out of
the Dark Ages.

And transferring blood
from one person to another
is right out of hell!

It saves lives. Does it?

Two of your patients
have already died
from your experiments.

And 24 are alive
because of them.

Now, gentlemen, this is 1885.
The world is progressing.

The new replaces the old.

Medical science cannot,
and should not, stand still.

It's true we don't know
a great deal about the blood,

but there are
great men of science,

both in this country
and in Europe,

who believe that bloodletting
is dangerously detrimental,

and that the transferring
of good, whole blood

is the answer
in certain instances.

We will find a way to stop you!

You do that.

Dr. Richter, we have not
excused you of this hearing.

I have. Now,
you can all sit around

on your collective prognoses
and call me witch doctor.

I have more
important things to do.

Doc... Oh, Dr. Richter.

The king of Hassan
has requested you.
He's at the Palace Hotel.

The Princess Nassim
is gravely ill, and they
cannot stop the bleeding.

I'll go over right away. I forbid it.

Don't you dare go near
such a personage.

Why, you could cause
an international incident
if you attempt...

Richter!

Richter?

Howdy, folks.
I'm the Old Ranger.

Today, we recognize blood plasma

as one of the great
lifesaving tools of medicine,

just as Dr. Max Richter
predicted in 1885.

But when he set out
to prove the values
of blood transfusions,

the resulting furor
erupted into violent events

which provide us with
a most exciting story called...

And the court physician,
Dr. Lee, spoke very highly
of you, Dr. Richter.

He was most anxious
to meet you again.

Yes. Dr. Lee and I were
colleagues in Europe
some years ago.

I was so sorry to hear
that he died.

He told us that you,
like himself, had carried out

a great deal of research
on blood.

That's correct. Well, then,

you will understand
the gravity of the situation

with regard
to the Princess Nassim.

She is... Dr. Lee told us...
a bleeder.

And she's pregnant? The child will be born
within a month.

And even worse than that,
yesterday the princess
cut her hand,

and the bleeding
has not stopped yet.

Now, of course, Dr. Lee

always traveled
with the royal party
wherever it went,

and we did not anticipate
his death aboard ship.

May... May I see
the princess, please?

Oh, yes.
This way, please.

Ah. Prince Ari.

This is Dr. Richter.

His Royal Highness
is Princess Nassim's husband.

Help her, Doctor.
Nassim... she's desperately ill.

Sir, my name is Dr. Simon.

I wish to see
the prime minister.
I am the prime minister.

I am here on the matter
of the utmost urgency.

Your Excellency, read this.

Doctor?

Now, I can hear
the baby's heartbeat.

It's steady.
But your wife is weak.

She's lost too much blood.

Yes? What is it?

Dr. Richter, I must speak
to you immediately. Please.

You don't waste much time,
do you?

Not when it is a matter
of life or death.

Especially when the life
is that of a princess.

This man says he represents
a medical society.

Represents? He is
the medical society.

Well, he has made some very
grave accusations against you,
documented in these newspapers.

Now you must explain.

Do you change the blood
from one human to another?

He must not be allowed
to attend the princess.
All right. Listen to me.

Now, that young girl in there
is hanging on to her life
by a thread,

so I don't have time to
stand here and haggle with this
pompous pillar of authority.

How dare you! Because you and...

Gentlemen, please.

Now, do I, or do I not,
attend the princess?

That is a decision
only His Majesty can make.

I do not know what to believe.

Dr. Richter,
you must understand.

I am not only duty bound
in this matter,

but the Lady Nassim
is my daughter.

The child she carries
is my grandchild.

Your colleague, Dr. Simon,
corroborated by the newspapers,

accuses you of unnatural acts
of medicine.

Unnatural by whose
standards, sir?

You do not consider
transferring, uh, blood

from one soul to another
unnatural?

No, sir, I do not. If it
please Your Highness...

Yes, Dr. Simon.

This man has already taken
the lives of two people
with his barbaric practices.

Is this true, Dr. Richter?

I don't deny
that two of my patients died

as a result
of my blood injections.

You see, there are mysteries
about blood type

that we don't understand as yet.

However, I'm sure
that no mention was made
of 24 other people

who are alive today because of
my blood transferals.

Sir, all this is taking up
precious time.

Now, the princess is near death.

If you are allowed to proceed,
what would be your treatment?

I haven't had time
to fully examine her yet.

All I know
is she's terribly weak
from loss of blood.

What would be your treatment,
Dr. Simon?

Your Highness,
I've had no opportunity
to examine her either.

But from what
I've been able to gather,
it would seem proper

to bleed her of all poison.

You fool!
Don't you know
that would kill her?

Sir, now, doesn't it
seem logical to you?

She's lost
too much blood already.

Bleeding would drain her
of the last ounce of life
she has left.

Are you suggesting that
we transfer more blood to her
from another person?

I don't know.
It depends.

But if the white corpuscles
in her blood
are not building up,

that would be her only chance.

Amir, she is my daughter,
but she is also your wife.

Now, you have heard what
has been said here,
what is your wish?

Sire, I know only one thing:

I love Nassim
with every fiber
of my heart,

and I know she is dying.

But Dr. Lee spoke
with the utmost respect
of Dr. Richter.

And I remember once
that Dr. Lee had remarked
about the possibility

of a... a transfusion,
he called it.

You are saying you would consent
to Dr. Richter continuing?

Yes, Sire.

But, Your Highness,
the Medical Society...

The Medical Society
has no jurisdiction here.

Dr. Richter,
the Princess Nassim
is in your hands.

But if she dies,

I shall appeal...
no, demand,

from the president
of the United States,

an investigation
into your unorthodox methods.

Now do you accept?

A woman and her unborn child
are near death.

I'm a doctor.
Of course I accept.

Then go.

Let 'em in.

Oh, the ice. Good. Come on.
Put it here, on this table.
Over here.

What is this? Incense.

Get rid of it. Hurry.

Prince. Yes, Doctor?

Now, I want these curtains down.
I want those drapes down.

Anything in this room
that can gather dust... out.

Tell the hotel
to send up six charwomen.

I want the room scrubbed
from top to bottom
with a carbolic acid solution.

Acid?

Yes. When a room is scrubbed
with a carbolic solution,

it lessens the chance
of infection.

Now, does he speak English? Yes.

Take this list,
go to this hospital,

and pick up
this list of supplies.

Then I want you to go
to this address
and ask for Miss Anne Knight.

Don't volunteer any information,

but you get her here.

Look, don't just stand there.
Go get those charwomen.

And tell them to send up a cot.

Come in.

I said, come in.

Miss Knight.

I'm glad you were available,
Miss Knight.

You.

They didn't tell me.
If I'd known you were
the doctor on the case,

I would not have been available.

Oh? I'm sorry
to hear you say that.

I thought that you, at least,
would still have
confidence in me.

There was a time
when I was proud
to work with you...

when I thought you were
the best doctor
in San Francisco.

But what you've become
with your hideous experiments,

taking blood from one person,
injecting it into another...

It's unholy? Unholy?

And who are you, God?

Your god must be a stranger
to the Christian world,
Miss Knight,

if he condemns the saving
of human life.

And I've seen
these blood transferals

do exactly that
time and time again.

I didn't send for you
to listen to a lesson
on the Scriptures,

or to hear you tell me
how to practice medicine.

You're here because
you're an excellent nurse,
and for no other reason.

Now get into your uniform.

Well, there's work
to be done here,
and it can't wait.

Why, she's only a child.

Yes, they marry young
in her country.

What about the baby?

The heart rate is steady
but weakening.

Premature birth is indicated.
Prognosis: negative.

What are your instructions?

Release the tourniquet
every seven to ten minutes

and continue
with the ice poultices.

Ice?

Ice.

It thickens the blood.
It makes it move more slowly
through the body.

Now, if her blood
carries the infection
to the baby...

And I realize that it might.

But if I can delay it...

All right. Now,
I'm going to need your help

to take a sample like this
every three hours.

It's a relatively new technique.

I take a drop of blood
from her wound,

place it on the slide,
and put it under the microscope.

I can then tell
the condition of her blood.

Come here. I'll show you
exactly what I mean.

Take a look.

You see the crosshairs? Yes.

They make a pattern
of squares, right?
Right.

Let me look.

Now, by counting the white cells
in a single square,

we can tell if the blood
is building up the cells,

or if the infection
is destroying them.

What is it?

Well, at the rate
the infection is spreading,
she'll be dead by tomorrow.

There must be something
we can do.

There is.
There's one thing.

Because of all the talk,
all the time
that's been wasted...

You know, I had really hoped

that this wouldn't be necessary.

She needs blood.
Good, whole blood.

You wouldn't dare.

It's her only chance.

It might kill her.Might.

If you have no regard for life,

think of
the international complications.

She's a princess.

I'm only interested
in the medical complications.

The fact that she's a princess
really doesn't interest me.

Don't be a fool.

Dr. Simon
and the Medical Society
are waiting for just one chance

to charge you
with criminal negligence.

If she dies,
you'll be giving it to them.

It'll mean the end
of your career.

Maybe even prison.

All right. And where
would my career be

if I allowed her
to just slip away, huh?

You know, when a man
loses respect for himself,
no one can give it back to him.

Not even the mighty
Medical Society.

If her system tolerates
the healthy blood,
at least she'll have a chance.

And if not?

Then we'll know
that everything possible
was done to save her.

I won't help you.

And you can't make me help you.

Anne.

I need more than your help.

I need your blood.

Well, you're out of your mind!

We were very close once,
remember?

You said you had
confidence in me.

You remember that little boy...
the one with the terribly
infected leg?

Jimmy.

Jimmy.

You remember when I told you
his leg had to be amputated?

You didn't believe it.
Neither did his parents.

So they wouldn't let me do it,
and the little boy died.

You remember how
you cried that night?

You believed in me once.

You'll believe in me again.
You'll be crying for her.

She needs your blood, Anne.

You better hurry.

Prince Amir will
be back in a minute.

I can't hurry.

You see, I don't know
that temperature's a factor.

And since I don't know,
I can't chance it.

See, the temperature
of your blood is normal.

I can't bring hers down
below 102.
Even with the icepacks.

Not only that,
as your blood
flows through the tube,

it's going to lower
even more in temperature.

All right.
I think we're ready.

Now, this isn't going to hurt,
so you have nothing
to worry about.

But just think,
your blood very well may save
two human lives...

the princess
and her unborn child.

All right?

Now, keep your arm straight.

You'll feel a little sting
when the needle taps the vein.

That's all.

Now give me your other hand.

That's right.
Now, I'm putting the tourniquet

between your thumb
and forefinger,
all right?

Now, when I tell you,
I want you to pull that.

That'll release the knot
and allow the blood
to flow through the tube.

But it must be done gently.
Under no circumstances
are you to disturb this needle.

You'll be fine.
All right.

Arm straight.

All right, Anne.

Pull. Now, gently.

Easy. Easy,
little princess.

Is she all right?

The blood flow is good.

Why... Why, you're
transferring blood?
It was the only way.

How is she?

I won't know for a while.

Now, whoever that is,
you keep them out.
I don't want anybody in here.

It might be the king. I don't care.
That's up to you.

Keep him out.

Gentlemen, please. Look!

Please! So, you went ahead.

I demand that you
stop immediately.

You know, I'm about
to forget that I'm a doctor

and use my hands for something
other than holding a scalpel.

I thought you would resort
to this savage technique.

I had the board meet
and draw up a resolution
to the district attorney.

If the princess dies,
you will be charged
with manslaughter.

Are you gonna get out,
or do I throw you out?

May I stay?

Of course.

You're her husband.

She may feel your presence
in the room,
and it'll comfort her.

Are you all right? I'm fine.

Good.

Her system tolerated
the new blood.

Thank God.

Yes, thank God.
And than you.

You know, what you did
was terribly courageous,
and I know that.

Anne, I'm sorry,

but I'm gonna need you
immediately.

Complications?

At the moment,
her biggest complication
is having a baby,

which I think she's
about to do momentarily.

Prince, you'll
have to leave now.

Princess.

Careful.

Prince Amir,
may I present your son,
the prince.

I'm sorry, gentlemen,
but you'll have to leave.

Then, Dr. Richter,
you think they will both live?

I said I thought they had
a very good chance.

I see.

Dr. Richter, you are a man
of considerable
worldly knowledge.

You must have been aware
of the, uh, sensitivity

of royal families
to their bloodline.

Why did you not take
Prince Amir's blood?

Or mine?

If I'd been convinced,
of course.

Well, I understand
that Prince Amir
is Nassim's fourth cousin.

And even as remote
a relationship as that

could tend to emphasize
uncertain factors in the blood

that we're trying to overcome.

I need not remind the Crown

that it is duty bound
to renounce
the child's heritage

now that it has been tainted
by commoner's blood.

Renounce?

It is the demand of my office

that I respect
our country's tradition
above my person.

Nevertheless,
under any circumstances,

a newborn in the royal household
must be presented to the Crown

within an hour of its birth.

Regardless of blood,
he's still my grandson.
Bring him.

Excellency, I have the honor

to present to the Crown my son,

heir apparent
to the throne of Hassan.

Prince Amir, you are familiar
with the tradition
of our country.

This child's blood is...

Sire, I also wish
to present to the court
Miss Anne Knight.

Whose act of great courage
saved the lives of two members
of the royal household.

An act of heroism
for which the Crown
is duty bound

to confer an award of...

nobility.

That is true, Sire.

I think I understand.

Dr. Richter,
will you sign affidavits

confirming Miss Knight's
heroism and its value?

Well, there's no doubt
that Miss Knight's
act of great courage

saved both their lives.

Then by the power
invested in me,

I do hereby grant
one parcel of King's land
in the province of Lu,

and bestow the title
Princess of the Royal House

upon Miss Anne Knight.

Furthermore,
I do hereby acknowledge

that the male child
born to Prince Amir

is the rightful heir
to the throne
of the Kingdom of Hassan.

So be it ordered.

Dr. Richter,

forgive me for not having had
enough confidence in you.

You are indeed
a great physician.

Thank you, sir.

I shall have the honor
to inform your president
of your deed here today.

The world should know
the importance
of blood transference

as I do now.

Well, let's hope
that someday they will, sir.

Bye.Good-bye.

Oh, Dr. Richter? Yes, sir?

You haven't mentioned a fee.

Oh, uh, I'll mail you a bill.

Whatever it is,
I shall be delighted
to triple it.

Good-bye, Doctor,
and good luck.
Thank you.

And to the newly
created princess,

my deepest gratitude.

Dr. Max Richter continued
to employ blood transfusions

at the risk of jeopardizing
his own career.

And one day,
the use of blood plasma

was to save thousands of lives

in wars and hospitals
all over the world.
