All language subtitles for Dr Quinn S05E12

Colleen!

It's about time you got here.

How'd you do on your test?

Well, I got one A minus.

But the others?

That's all right.

They'll do better next time.

They were A's.

Oh, I'm so proud of you, Colleen. Thank
you.

Where's Sally and Katie?

Katie's with Becky. It's a busy morning
at the time.

Sally's out serving. He'll be back
tomorrow.

Colleen, congratulations.

Andrew.

I couldn't help overhearing your
impressive news.

But then I'd expect nothing less from
you.

This might interest you.

Colleen? Michaela?

A thermometer?

Just arrived from France.

It's interesting. It's straight.

The one I've been using curved.

You place it under the tongue rather
than underneath the arm.

They say it's the most advanced one
being made.

Dr. Cook?

Oh, Horace.

Is your gout acting up again?

I guess so.

Well, perhaps you should come by the
clinic. I'm sure I can help.

Thank you, Dr. Mike. I'll do that.

Dr. Cook, there's another crate for the
hotel. You want it on your wagon? Yeah,

thank you.

Preston's stocking the clinic.

Patent medicines, exercise machines.

I must say I'm very envious of you.

Working with such modern equipment.

You should come out to the clinic and
see it sometime.

You too, Colleen.

Anytime.

I'd love to.

Blender. Oh, it's a large one.

It's gone deep and broken off.

Will you get it out for me? Of course.

Come with me to the clinic.

I'll help you.

Andrew, could I maybe come up to the
hotel later today?

Absolutely.

I look forward to that.

Well, this shouldn't take more than a
minute or two.

Don't mean to make a fuss about no
splinter.

You can't be too careful.

You don't want it to get infected.

There.

That's all of it.

Thanks, Dr. Mike.

How are Ella and the boys?

Good.

And how's your homestead coming along?

Real well.

We're hoping to move in soon.

Ella's brother's been helping out.

That's wonderful.

Say hello to Ella and the boys.

I'll do that.

Thank you again.

I'll drop these sheets off on Mrs. Jones
when we're out to the hotel.

Thank you, Colleen.

I'm going upstairs to check on Mr.
Jacobs. I had to perform a hernia

on him this morning.

Is he all right?

He seems to be.

I made a pot roast for dinner.

That's great. I can bake a pie.

You just have a good time. You're on
vacation.

Thanks, Ma.

Anything else I can do for you?

No, no. Everything's fine.

Oh, Michaela.

I was wondering if you could give me
something for this call.

Let's have a look at it.

How long have you had it? Oh, a day or
two.

It isn't really bad. It's just... It's
just so annoying.

Do you have a sore throat?

Maybe a little.

No fever.

Well, there's a little redness.

You might have a slight guitar coming
on. Hmm.

Well, this cough medicine should make
you feel better. Oh, I'll take some

now. Thank you, Michaela.

And when I walk, my knees hurt.

Doctor in Denver said I had lumbago.

Breathe again, please.

And my stomach is fluttery.

Fluttery? Doctor in Frisco said I'm
dyspeptic.

Well, Mr. Crasson, your heart sounds
quite strong to me.

Oh. As far as your other symptoms, some
of your discomfort might be caused by

what you're eating.

Oh, I see. Then perhaps you'll prescribe
something to purify my system. A

specific diet?

Actually, it was more the volume of your
diet I had in mind.

What's that got to do with it?

Well, the fact that you're a large
man...

Might contribute to the pain in your
knees and perhaps the shortness of your

breath. Yes, yes, but what can you do
about it?

A regimen in the springs?

That might make you feel better.

But also some long walks would be
beneficial.

And perhaps, as I said, just modify your
meals.

Mr. Kraken.

I trust you're enjoying your stay.

And our cuisine meets with your
approval.

Oh, yes, first rate.

Especially that custard pie.

I'll make sure you get an extra piece
for dinner with my compliments.

Cigar. Thank you.

We charge for those meals.

And we also charge for these medicines,
of which you have sold none.

Why couldn't you prescribe some for him?

Well, I had no reason to believe it
would be beneficial.

Dr. Bording's proven patent tonic.

For all ailments of the stomach.
Preston, if I'm going to run this

you're going to have to trust my medical
judgment.

You're absolutely right.

Just as medicine is your forte, business
is mine.

Now, why prescribe a walk in the
countryside when the same purpose can be

achieved by using this scientific
machine?

And charging for the use of it?

If we're going to keep this clinic open,
it has to pay for itself.

Colleen. It's lovely to see you.

This is wonderful, Andrew.

It's so bright and cheerful.

And all this equipment.

But I'd rather take a walk in the
countryside.

Wouldn't you?

Absolutely. Well, Mr. Jacobs, how are
you feeling?

Not too bad.

Could I go home now?

You have a fever.

Let me take a look at your incision.

But you took care of the hernia.

Yes.

I'll need to clean the incision again.

Oh.

How good to see you, Mrs. Ferguson.

I remember a full hour in the springs
every day.

Have we all.

Seems to make her rheumatism feel
better.

I know it's not very scientific.

There is something to be said for
feeling better.

There's a beautiful spot.

I must love working here.

I do wish the medical problems were more
engaging.

I don't mean that I wish serious illness
on people.

Is it more interesting working with Dr.
Mike?

Well, now my patients are guests of the
hotel.

Their medical problems aren't always
confirmable.

But tell me about you and school and all
the new friends you must be making.

Well, I have met a lot of people.

Some of them are really nice.

But I don't see them replacing the
friends I got here.

Come on. I'll show you the view.

Hey, Miss Dorothy.

I'm all right.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Here, I'll do this.

Maybe you ought to sit down. No, no, I'm
just warm.

She has a high fever.

Terrible diarrhea. The worst case I've
seen.

She's going to get dehydrated if she
doesn't manage to keep anything down. Is

cholera? I don't think so.

They present similarly, but there are
enough differences.

What is it?

I don't know.

Try to keep her cool.

See if you can get her to drink some
water.

He's been getting worse all day.

I passed him by the station on my way
back. I told him we had to come see you.

It's infected.

What's that?

Blood poisoning.

From his splinter? He took it out.

We'll need to amputate his hand.

No.

Franklin, the poison's spreading through
your bloodstream. We have to stop it.

Mom, Mr. Jacobs is real bad.

Mr. Jacobs?

He's tossing and turning and burning up.

Colleen, prepare him for an operation.

Ride out to the hotel and get Andrew for
me, please. Tell him I need his help

right away. Sure. All right.

Mr.

Jacobs had an infection from his hernia
operation.

What?

We're going to have to remove the
infected tissue and hope that it doesn't

spread.

First we have to tend to it.

But it was only a splinter.

I don't know why, but frankly, it's far
worse.

Poison's spreading.

We need to act quickly.

Why is everyone getting sick at the same
time?

I wish I knew, Colleen. Dr. Mike, stop
breathing.

Oh, my God.

Colleen, we have two more patients who
need our help.

Thank goodness you're here.

Matthew gave me your message.

Your friend Dorothy, is she doing any
better?

No, neither is Mr. Jacobs.

I brought some goldenrod for their
fever, but also some bluestem.

I know that's effective for stomach
disorders, but she can't keep anything

not even tea.

She's dangerously dehydrated, and I
don't know what to do.

Is Dorothy doing any better?

Maybe it's just something she ate.

Cloud Danson's in there with her now.

Maybe his medicine will help her.

I don't care what kind of medicine it
is, as long as it gets her better.

Dorothy's strong.

She'll pull through.

You haven't sat down all night.

I have too much to do.

And here's what Mr. Jacobs and Cloud
Dancings with Dorothy.

We need to rest.

I was on my way over. Becky told me what
happened. I feel so helpless.

I don't even know what's wrong with
Dorothy.

And nothing I do seems to help Mr.
Jacobs.

It just keeps getting worse.

Kayla, you better come upstairs.

Something I can't see.

What do you mean?

Well, it can't just be a coincidence.

Three people desperately ill in one day.

Two of them dead.

But they're all sick in different ways.

Well, not completely.

Some of the symptoms do coincide.

George Washington died with similar
symptoms.

He was fine one moment, working on his
farm, and then he contracted a sudden

violent fever.

An infection in his throat.

Two days later, he was dead.

They bled him.

You're not suggesting we bleed Dorothy.

And we know better than that now.

No, I... I know what not to do. I
just... I don't know what to do.

Maybe they all ate something bad.

Only Dorothy had abdominal problems.

We must be missing something.

Something they all had in common.

They had no contact with each other.

They didn't eat the same food or drink
the same water.

Well, they apparently have nothing in
common.

Except that they were all here at the
clinic yesterday.

Maybe it's something in the air.

If that was the case, we should have all
gotten sick.

But we didn't.

We're the only people who got ill with
the people I treated.

Perhaps we should wire the hospitals in
Denver.

And see if they've had a similar
problem.

There was an outbreak at the hospital I
worked at when I was a medical student.

Varying symptoms, all with a high fever.

It was traced back to a scalpel that had
been used to operate on all of them.

But that isn't the case here. I used
different instruments on each of them.

Besides, I always disinfect all my
instruments with carbolic acid.

What happened to folks at that hospital?

They died.

I'm going to let Dorothy die.

After the hernia operation, I washed all
the instruments in carbolic acid. I

dried them and I put them back.

Franklin, I used the tweezers.

Colleen washed them and I dried them.

Put them back.

Same with the tongue depressor.

Wash all the instruments and just put
them back in the case.

It's in the instrument case.

What's in the case? The source of the
infection.

I disinfected all the instruments, but
then I put them back into the case.

It was the only thing that all three
patients had in common. That you treated

them with instruments out of that case,
but... How could the infection be in

velvet and wood?

I don't know.

But we have to destroy it.

That was your father's case.

A killer?

Dorothy, how are you feeling?

Could I... Could I have some water?

It was broken.

I'll take the case out of town.

Just dig a hole.

Turn it and then bury it. I told you,
it's a buck for the undertaking.

Look, I'm sorry for your trouble, but
I've got my expenses.

I've got to charge you a buck.

Miss Young?

What happened?

She died in the night. Her hands swole
up. She took a fever.

Her Chinese medicine didn't help her.

I'm so very sorry.

She had the same symptoms. Maybe it
isn't anything in the clinic.

I mean, she's never come in. There's no
connection between her and the clinic.

I bet she washed the sheets.

How could the sheets have made her sick?

I don't know. Let's just take this one
step at a time.

The sheets were on the table.

The patient said to rely down on the
sheets. They put the instruments on it.

Don't touch anything.

Why not?

Well, if the infection can travel from
the case to the instruments, then maybe

it can travel from the instruments to
the sheep.

You've got to talk to her, Jake.

Someone comes in for a splinter and ends
up dead.

Thank you.

Dr. Mike.

You've got to know, folks are wondering
what's going on at your clinic.

I was just coming to see you, Jake.

We should summon a council meeting.
Decide what we need to do.

More like what you've got to do.

Well, I've traced the infection to my
instrument case.

So it's like when you told me I was
spreading blood poison with my razor.

Yes, that's right. I've also traced it
to the sheep's.

I'm going to destroy the sheep and the
case.

But what is it?

I don't know.

How do you know it ain't on something
else?

I don't.

Now, if all of them had the same thing,
then why did it kill Franklin and Mr.

Jacobs and Mrs. Young, but not Dorothy?

I suspect that Dorothy contracted it
from the tongue depressor.

It got into her intestinal system.

That would account for why she had
intestinal problems and the others

Perhaps it got into their bloodstream,
not into Dorothy's. But then how did it

get into Mrs. Young's bloodstream?

Perhaps she had a cut on her hand or
chafed her hands washing.

It's all perhaps and maybes.

You don't know much.

I'm afraid you're right.

But I do know that whatever it takes to
get rid of this, I'll do it.

Take one tablet three times a day,
Bernice.

George, I think you're next.

Andrew.

These people are ill.

Well, I believe that's why they've come
to see me.

I guess I'm comfortable around sick
people.

You mean sick people from town.

Press it, I'm a doctor. It's my
responsibility. At a luxury hotel whose

do not include ministering to these
people.

They have no place else to go. They're
afraid to go to Michaela's clinic.

my point exactly.

I don't know what Michaela's disease
brought here.

Nobody has shown up here with those
symptoms.

There's no other doctor they can see
right now. See them at their homes in

spare time. Preston, be reasonable.
Andrew, our guests come here from the

to escape this kind of pestilence.
Preston.

No sick people at my hotel.

I was just coming to see Dorothy.

How is she?

Better. She is able to drink blue stem
tea. It will help her stomach.

Cloud dancing is something I can't
identify.

Some contagion in there.

I don't know where it is or how to get
rid of it.

What should I do?

You know what you must do.

Disinfect?

Fumigate the cell phone?

When there was typhus in the blackheads.

She'd let us help.

She doesn't want to expose us to the
clinic.

We were in there before.

Gotta let her do this the wrong way,
Brian.

What if it don't work?

Ain't there anything we can do to help?

Let her know we love her.

Even the stuff on the walls?

All my patients' records.

Spent four years getting to know my
patients.

Learning about their health.

All of that information's been leaked.

And in your head?

I don't think Lacey's reaction to
digitalis had gotten any better.

You'll remember it all, Kayla.

When you need to.

Saltfish ready.

You want me to do it?

Oh, Sully, I thought Dr. Mike might be
able to use these.

I'll just leave them here.

Thanks, Lauren.

She's inside.

I appreciate that, Lauren.

How much do I owe you? Oh, that's all
right.

They weren't selling much anyway.

Thank you, Lauren.

Tell you what, no charge for your next
visit.

Thanks a lot. I'll be sure to remember
that.

Got a couple of the old saloon chairs.

Don't quite fit in our new
establishment.

Jake, Hank.

Sorry, Paul.

You're pulling that here, Paul.

I'm feeling stronger every day.

I can't tell you how badly I feel about
all this.

Oh, nonsense, McKay. It wasn't your
fault.

Do you need anything? Is there anything
that I can get you? Oh, no.

No, no.

I just got some more blue stem from
cloud dancing. For making tea?

I'm doing fine.

Just fine.

In time, Pam.

Huh.

Andrew, did you know that European spas
bottle their water and sell it to their

guests to take it home with them? What
are you doing?

I'm just helping Michaela out.

Andrew. You know, Preston, being around
the practice of medicine, it's having a

good effect on you.

Really? Absolutely.

It's made you more sympathetic to
people's needs.

What made you notice this momentous
change?

Well, a few weeks ago, you would have
told me I couldn't have given any of

medicine to Michaela.

Then I would have told you to take it
out of my salary.

But this new Preston is much more of a
humanitarian.

I couldn't say.

But it does seem to me that helping
those in need, it's good business

Especially people who have helped you in
your time of need.

Finish up the record?

The best I can remember.

Lunchtime?

Thank you, Polly.

I'm afraid I don't have much of an
appetite.

You might eat sometime.

I heard Horace went to see Andrew about
his gout.

Horace?

I can't blame him.

He'd probably do the same thing.

doctors.

I'm fooling myself.

Folks just need to see that it's safe
again.

It's not the only problem.

I don't have the proper supplies or
instruments.

How am I ever going to be able to afford
them?

Why would my patients come back to me if
I don't have the equipment to take care

of them?

How much are they going to cost?

A lot more than we have.

The instruments alone.

Not to mention the books and microscope.

I don't make that much money in a year.

Can't ask Mother to help us out again.

Maybe we ought to get a loan.

You've always said that you never wanted
to get into debt.

This has never happened before.

Well, we have no collateral.

Well, it looked like you were going to
have to pay that negligence award

said that the, uh, homestead would do.

Well...

home. You built it with your hands.

You're going to lose it. We'll pay him
back.

Talia, I know that this goes against
everything that you believe in.

I have all the papers drawn up. All
that's required is your signatures.

Let's get it over with.

I think you'll find everything in order.

I made the interest rate as low as I
could.

I don't see any point in making money
off of your misfortune.

I appreciate that.

Ford?

Did the package come for me? Oh, sure
did.

Mom's going to be so happy. Thank you.

Sorry.

No, my fault.

I'm glad I bumped into you.

Literally.

I need to get back to the hotel, but I
wanted to give this to your mother.

Perhaps you could take it for me?

Sure. I'm on my way to the clinic.

It's my microscope.

I thought she might want to use it until
her new one arrives.

That's really nice of you.

She just got her new instruments, but
she had to order her microscope in

Switzerland.

What will you use?

Well, Preston didn't think mine was new
enough, so he ordered a stronger one.

Not that our clientele demands it.

I know, Ma. I really appreciated all
your help with it.

It was very stimulating, trying to
figure it all out, being with you, all

you.

I bet you never thought Colorado Springs
could be so interesting.

No.

I never did.

Dr. Mike!

I bet you'd like to see your new
examination table.

It's perfect.

I only hope I have the opportunity to
use it.

Andrew, let me use the microscope.

And this is for Matthew and Colleen and
me.

Why don't you open it and find out?

Don't worry about folks who start coming
back sure they will I'm sure you're

right.

Come on, Matthew.

Let's get the table down.

Ow!

You need to be stitched up. Hang right
you have to Andrews.

No, thanks.

Mikhail will take care of it.

You gonna catch me going back in there?

I'll give her a chance. See what
happens.

It's his funeral.

This is very well written, Brian.

So you'll print it in the next issue?

Well, I... I can't help wondering if
it's completely accurate.

Sure it is.

It says that Maz Kalink is cleaned up
and ready for business.

And that it's safe.

Now, I'm not saying that that isn't
true, but I... I think we've got to be

before we print it.

But he only got stitched up a couple
days ago, and he's all right.

This be a good time for you to take off
my bandages?

Well, there doesn't seem to be anybody
waiting.

Lauren,

Jake, can I help you?

Oh, we were just wanting to see if his
arm was going to fall off or anything.

I'm fine.

Do you want to come home?

We're all right out here.

Leave the door open. Yeah, that'd be
good.

I can't believe this.

I can't blame them.

I'm a little nervous myself.

No infection.

Come on, Brian.

You've got an article to finish.

Dr. Mike, I've been meaning to come see
you about my gout.

Let's see what we can do.

Well, looks like everything's going to
be all right.

Don't worry about the clinic, are you?

I don't know.

And that's what worries me, what I don't
know.

I don't know what caused this, and I
don't know whether we got rid of it or

just... Ran its course.

It's possible it could happen again any
time.

You can't worry about what you don't
know.

I have to. It's my job.

One thing I do know.

Folks in this town are in good hands.

Staphylococcus was identified in 1881.

In 1941, penicillin was first used as an
effective treatment.

However, staph infection is still the
most prevalent infection contracted in

hospitals in the United States today.
