All language subtitles for Dr Quinn s01e09

Colleen?

I guess you didn't hear us. I was busy.
What kind of show is this? Well, if

you'd be quiet, you might find out.

Come on! Come on!

Now, don't you be shy.

Feeling poorly?

See Doc Eli.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
and welcome to Doc Eli's Kickapoo

Show.

Now, now, now.

Now, the big show is on Saturday, but
what we got here for you fine folks this

afternoon is a little preview.

That's Sheba.

Ain't no fair.

Where's she?

And now, the man you've all been
clamoring to see.

Ma, look.

Chief Blackhead.

That's not Chief Blackhead, Brian.

but y 'all might as well call me Doc
Eli. Everybody does.

This is my Kickapoo Indian friend, Sick
No More, to testify to the authenticity

of our age -old Indian formula.

Chief? Kickapoo Indian sagwa. Good
medicine.

This ancient tribal remedy will cure any
and all illness proceeding from impure

blood. Now, that includes torpid liver,
brain fever, paling cheeks, and wasting

manhood. All that and more for a mere $1
a bottle.

Now, I know what you're going to say
because I know what you're thinking.

that's fine, but we got us a town
doctor. What do we need with this Doc

Kickapoo Indian Sagwa?

Well, my friend, is your doctor one of
those fellas that uses a whole lot of

words when he's talking to you?

Does he tell you all what's wrong with
you in one breath and want to go to

cutting on you the next?

I'm just here to offer you an
alternative, a free choice, so to speak.

because Doc Eli's Kickapoo Indian,
Sagwa, will cure what ails you or your

back, and that's guaranteed.

I wonder what them show folks are doing.

Or do they have a guy who swallows
swords?

I imagine he has to swallow some of Doc
Eli's medicine first.

I wish the Bracey was going to sell that
stuff in his store.

That fellow's not a real doctor.

Not like Dr. Mike.

That's all right, Colleen. Really.

It's just a performance.

Everybody knows it's just for fun.

That guy can't really cure anybody, can
he?

Colleen! What happened?

He got in a fight with a bobcat.

You gonna be all right?

Well, I'm not a veterinarian, but I'll
do the best I can.

I know you will.

Yes, sir. Franklin here is probably the
smartest engine that you will ever meet

in your entire life.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah.

How smart is he?

I want my money back!

Your girl's no good.

Your problem with the hospitality?

Yeah, yeah. I ain't getting any.

She says she's sick.

I am.

Go on back in there.

Get you somebody nice.

Go on now.

What's this crap?

Hey, there. I'm giving you the gospel
now. I ain't feeling right.

You're going to be feeling worse if you
don't get back in there.

Excuse me, son. I couldn't help over
here.

Ma 'am, I want you to please accept this
bottle of my very own Kickapoo Indian

Prairie Plant Extra.

I made up the federal for those delicate
female complaints.

Let me see.

Your health, ma 'am.

Now, drink this stuff.

You'll be fine.

I want to see Dr. Mike.

She costs money.

You got a doc right here nice enough to
give you a free cure.

Now, drink it.

Hey, man, come on! Buck says he won't do
it. Oh, he'll do it all right, won't

you, Chief? He'll do it. Why are you on
the team?

Chuck, this ain't nothing.

Chief Franklin here once dove off the
Niagara Falls in that snow, Chief.

Off you go.

Get ready to pay up, boys.

I'd like to keep him overnight. Why
don't you check back tomorrow?

Okay, I'll stay close by.

Now, this brave Indian is going to
execute a perfect back somersault into

this barrel of water.

aided only by his Kickapoo Indian
medicine, which protects him from any

effects owing to such a dangerous,
dangerous endeavor.

That snake oil fails when I was telling
you about it.

Chief Franklin, are you ready on the
count of three?

One.

Boys, you better get back here.

Splat.

One.

Is that your pa?

Yeah.

My mom's a doc.

She'll take care of it.

He's just drunk. There's no cure for
that.

That was a real good trick you did.

You in the wrestling show, too?

Sometimes.

What do you do?

Hold the bottle, though.

But I can do that.

A friend called Dancing called me a
stickball game.

You want to play?

Don't know how.

I'll teach you sometime if you want.

What kind of scars are those?

That's a little sun dance.

Come on, Sue.

Cheyenne. Cheyenne.

Kapoor.

Kickapoo?

Isn't that an eastern tribe? Yeah, most
people make fun of the name.

I'll see you later.

Horace,

are you all right?

I, um, I got this friend.

Friend, uh -huh.

And, uh, this friend ain't feeling so
well.

What seems to be his problem?

Her.

Her problem.

It's a she.

I think it's a female thing.

Myra?

Could you call on her tomorrow?

It'd mean an awful lot to me. Of course,
I'll pay you for it.

No, no, that's quite all right. Please,
I want you to take it.

I'll check on her first thing in the
morning.

Thank you.

It'd mean an awful lot to me.

Doctor. If you've come to try and sell
me some of your medicine, you're wasting

your time. No, ma 'am. No, I'm just
looking for my engine.

Your engine?

They said you had him. Here.

That's an interesting clientele you got
here, Doctor. I help all living

creatures that need it.

Come on, Franklin. Rise and shine.

Leave him alone. Can't you see he's in
no condition?

You've got another show to do.

He almost drowned in that last little
show of yours.

How much you get, Eli? He needs
treatment.

I know just what to do for him. And what
might that be?

Give him a dose of your patent
concoction?

Not that it's any of your business, ma
'am, but I'm not just joking here about

being a doctor. I truly am one.

Johns Hopkins, 48.

I beg your pardon, sir, but I find that
rather difficult to believe.

You're welcome to verify it. I might
just do that.

Now, what about yourself?

Your alma mater, ma 'am.

Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania,
class of 60.

Well, that concoction, as you put it,
happens to be a scientifically tested

formula that has helped a great many
people, including old Franklin here.

It masks symptoms, delays treatment. It
doesn't help people. It hurts them

badly. Oh, you're telling me you have a
cure for TB, cholera, cancer?

You know as well as I do that medicine
is mostly just helping people to feel

better. Now, if I give them something
that provides comfort and hope...

You could see them through their darkest
days. How can you call

that wrong?

False hope and false advertising, it
isn't a cure.

Well, they believe it is, and that's
what's important.

And whose methods cause more pain and
suffering, yours or mine? Whose methods

heal more?

It's our... obligation as physicians to
cure people not simply to conceal their

symptoms i don't lie to my patients to
make them feel better i do everything in

my power to save their lives can you say
the same thing doctor

You're the only one I can tell.

I'm pregnant.

How? I mean, are you sure?

Uh -huh.

When I first started working for Hank in
Denver, it happened to one of the girls

there. Then I got all the same signs she
had.

Myra, you're going to have a baby.

Baby, sometimes I wonder what it'd be
like to have one of my own.

Look, don't tell nobody, okay?

I just couldn't bear it if people
talked.

Myra, people are going to figure it out
sooner or later.

What's Horace going to think of me?

And Hank?

Hank will probably throw me out if you
don't kill me first.

You got to help me tell him, Dr. Mike.

Promise me you'll be here when I tell
him.

There's liable to be a scene.

I promise.

We'll figure this all out. Now, why
don't you lie down?

Relax.

Time's up.

Get out.

I was just about to examine her.

Come by the clinic, Myra, as soon as you
can. I need to give you a proper

examination.

I will.

Thank you.

Dr.

Mike, how's Myra?

I just came from seeing her, and I
believe that she's fine.

Then there's nothing wrong.

Well, not exactly.

Well, I don't understand.

It's just that as Myra's physician, I'm
not allowed to discuss her condition

with you.

She has a condition?

Oh, Lord.

No, no, Horace.

It's similar to when you send telegrams.

You know what they say, but you wouldn't
tell anyone else now, would you? Oh,

no, ma 'am. That would violate a sacred
trust between a telegraph operator and a

customer. Exactly.

Well, it's the same thing between a
doctor and a patient.

But we can go see Mara together.

I haven't completed her examination yet,
but I'm sure she has something she

wants to tell you.

But for right now, I want to send a wire
to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. To, uh,

Mr. John Hopkins? No, no, uh, Johns
Hopkins.

Oh, there's two of these fellows?

No, it's a university, a medical school
specifically.

I want to find out if Doc Eli's degree
is as phony as his cures.

Did that happen?

You know.

I know how it happened. I want to know
why.

I've been in this business long enough
to know better, Myra.

I'm sorry.

It's not her fault. Stay out of it. I
won't. See, you made her cry. I didn't

make her do nothing.

That's what working girls in her
situation do. They cry because they're

worthless. I have had enough of it. Stop
it now, both of you. You're not

helping. Oh, and I suppose you are.

What am I supposed to do with her now?
She's in the family way, except without

the family. That kind of thing's off
-putting to most customers.

Do you even know who it was?

Me.

It was me.

Horace. Horace? That's right.

The baby's mine.

I knew there was more going on in

here than just talk.

How you feeling?

I'm fine.

Boy,

go on inside.

What do you want?

I want to know who you are.

Told you.

You're Cheyenne, aren't you?

Where'd you do the Sundance?

Who says I did?

Those scars say you did.

You saw the scars?

Yeah. You see the scars on the inside
your people Vejo gave me?

Gave my son?

I may be a white man, Vejo, but my
spirit goes with the Cheyenne. The

Trapped on a reservation.

Have to beg Vejo for sundance. Have to
beg Vejo for food.

I don't beg for nothing.

I live free.

You call this free?

You're not free. You're just as trapped
as you were on the reservation.

Nobody pay me for being Cheyenne. They
pay me for being Kickapoo.

Kickapoo, I stay.

What about your boy here?

Doesn't he get to choose his own way?
You're taking away his heritage, his

people. His people!

My people are dead.

Join the dog soldiers.

They're no tribe. They're outcasts. Just
like you?

The dog soldiers are warriors. They're
fighting to save what's left.

You could join them.

You could make a difference.

You make difference.

I make money.

It's a medicine bag from the dog
soldiers. They want you to have it.

Take it.

This is my medicine now.

Myra, it's me.

Horace, what are you doing?

I had to see you.

But if I'm upsetting you, I can... Oh,
no.

It's just so romantic.

It's like that story, Romeo and Juliet.

I don't know that one. You'll have to
tell it to me.

You all right?

Fine. Uh -huh.

Are you all right?

Uh -huh.

Myra?

Yes, Horst?

What I said the other day, I... I meant
it.

I wish I was the father of your baby.

That's why I was wondering... I was just
thinking...

Hoping... Maybe you'd want to marry me

sometime?

Never mind. What a stupid question. I
don't know what I was thinking.

I told myself, Horace...

Yes.

What?

I said yes.

I would be honored to marry you, Lord.

Myra.

Myra.

Myra.

Myra.

Out of my way.

Where are you going with her?

Please go to the show.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

Please.

I promise you won't drink beer. That dog
wants stuff.

Will.

Horace? Dr. Mike.

Dr. Mike. He's real bad.

Bring her in here.

On the table.

What happened? I don't know. She just
fainted.

She never came for her examination this
morning.

She should have known. Hank wouldn't
have let her.

Horace, would you wait outside?

Thank you.

Myra is not expecting.

She wanted me to tell you.

What do you mean?

It's not a baby.

She has a growth tumor on her ovary.

What does that mean?

It means she needs an operation.

Is she going to die?

Dr. Jackson.

Johns Hopkins confirmed your degree.

Well, as you've discovered, I'm not much
of a liar. That's why I decided to make

my living as a salesman.

You graduated top of your class,
specializing in surgery.

So my fair share of the operating room.

Did you ever attempt an ovariotomy?
Never attempted any. Performed several

dozen. Well, I have a patient who's
desperately in need of that procedure,

I've only assisted in a few, but someone
of your experience... Give her this.

Stop it.

I've had enough of that act of yours.

I want you to perform the surgery.

No.

Please, Dr. Jackson, I need your help.

What do I have to say to make you
understand?

You know.

The chances of her surviving the
surgery.

But we have to try.

I don't have to do anything.

Except run a medicine show.

Now, if you will excuse me.

Do you have any idea how hard it was for
me to come here and ask you to do this?

You want to talk about hard?

Then let's talk about Gettysburg,
Doctor. Let's talk about Ann.

Tatum, Fredericksburg.

What's that got to do with this?
Everything.

It wasn't the sight so much.

I could block them out, most of them
just closing my eyes, but the sounds,

the moans of boys who were unlucky
enough to have made it through the

battle, the death rattles, the ones who
were too broken to fix.

That's enough.

Boys.

Calling for their mothers.

Nurses singing.

Soldiers screaming while I sawed off
their limbs.

That's enough.

I'm just trying to tell you I can't do
it anymore. I can't hold a knife.

I can't do it.

And gentlemen, you sure are a fine
-looking group of folks today.

Welcome to the one and only Doc Eli's
Kickapoo Medicine Show, designed to

entertain and delight you or your money
back.

What's that you say? The show is free.
Well, I guess you get what you pay for.

And this here is my Kickapoo Indian
friend Thick No More and his papoose,

Thick No More, to tell you a little bit.

about our newest product.

Jeff?

Kickapoo Indian worm killer is...

Kickapoo

Indian worm killer is...

And Little Thick No More can tell you
the straight of it just as well.

Can't you, son? Go ahead now.

Strong medicine for stomach upset.

Strong medicine for stomach upset.

That's Sheba.

Well, I reckon you get what you pay for.

We just want to talk.

We just want to talk.

This is Cloud Damage.

The friends I was telling you about.

I hope it is time you and your son to
come home.

Spirits have told me.

They haven't told me.

Listening to the wrong spirits.

Why don't you don't know the what?

God damn.

You're not my brother.

We're both Cheyenne.

My band was slaughtered.

You weren't.

I should have been.

I was hunting with my son.

When we came back, our village was a
river of blood.

Come on.

Ann.

Wouldn't you all rather be at the show?

I'm right where I want to be.

That is, if you want me here.

I do.

Do you want me to explain about the
surgery?

Yeah.

I want to know what's going to happen.

I'm going to have to make an incision in
your abdomen, your stomach, to take the

tumor from your ovary.

I'll try to be quick so that I can
minimize the loss of blood, but there

be an infection.

And the tumor could be too far gone.

Sounds real serious.

Like I might not wake up.

You might not.

If I don't have that operation, I'll
surely die, right?

Well, not much of a choice.

When am I getting my girl back?

Maybe never.

What do you mean by that?

She ain't pregnant.

She's got a tumor.

Dr. Mike's got to operate on her.

No way I'm letting that butcher cut her
open.

Now, I gave her that patent medicine and
it says it cures all female problems.

She's my property and I ain't letting
her get cut. She's having the operation

and that's that.

Listen up, lover boy.

Myra. Belongs to me.

I got a contract that says so when I say
she takes some medicine. Yeah?

Yeah.

What are you gonna do about it?

Nothing.

Except this.

operation she already got the medicine
what

was that you heard

there ain't no other cure dr jackson
stop this tell

him tell him she needs surgery

She's right.

The doc is right.

My medicine can't help her case.

It's different.

She needs that operation.

And she needs Dr.

Quinn here to do it.

You want her, you can have her.

Only a damn fool falls in love with a
whore.

Bye, Brian. Hey, sorry I didn't get to
teach you the stickball game.

I'll teach him.

Franklin, you want to tell me how I'm
supposed to run a Kickapoo Indian

show with no Kickapoo Indian?

I'm no such thing.

Dr. Jack?

Nobody here by that name.

You ought to check your hearing, Doctor.
I'm not receiving visitors at this

time. No, you're sitting here feeling
sorry for yourself.

You're not the only surgeon to serve in
the Civil War.

My fiancé also served.

Only he didn't come back alive, but you
did.

I know that what you experienced was
horrible.

And I pray that things like that will
never happen again. Life is too

But my earth life is also too precious
to let slip away just because you're

angry with the world.

I'm not angry.

Please.

She needs... No, I need your help.

Understand.

I'm afraid.

You look about as bad as I feel.

I'm almost ready to begin.

Hold on just a little longer for me.

Any word from Dr. Eli?

I want you to know I still want to marry
you.

You're going to have a big church
wedding with the reverend and flowers.

What kind do you like?

Daisies.

Daisies it is.

Caught him on the porch.

What are you doing here?

Surgery. I'm a surgeon, remember?

You're drunk.

But the next one diagnosed is a doctor.
I'm ready to operate.

No, you're not.

But you will be.

Sully, sober him up.

This is going to take a while.

Wait a minute.

Come on.

You don't have to drown me.

Doctor, ready to open?

Look at that.

It won't stop shaking.

It's cold in here, do you?

Don't worry.

You can do it.

I can't.

You sure?

The best thing I can do is talk you
through it.

Go on around here.

Make the incision transverse, lower
abdominal wall.

Closer. Come in, come in, come in, come
in. Yes, right there. Go ahead.

Easy.

What do you want?

Just passing by.

She owes me, Horace.

Got a year left on her contract yet.

I'm gonna buy out her contract.

You ain't got the money.

Of course.

Sit down. Shut up.

Both of you.

It's going to be fine.

All right.

Dr.

Clint?

Dr. Mike?

I'm right here, Myra.

You made it through the surgery just
fine.

You're going to be all right.

Did you hear that, Myra?

I sure do.

I told you we'd be together.

Always.

You deserve better than me, Horace.

As soon as I pay off that contract,
we're going to have us that church

I can wait forever.

How's our patient?

Recovering nicely, thank you.

Golly, that was a mighty fine cut.

Your fiancée would be awfully proud of
you.

You could say.

You're a fine surgeon, Dr. Jackson.

You could teach me a lot.

Well, you taught me something about
myself.

And I thank you for that.

But... You've got a medicine show to
run.

Here's a little something to remember me
by.
