All language subtitles for Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman S03e15 The End Of The World

Read it again, Dorothy.

The world -famous commentographer, Dr.

Jack Lancaster, states with certainty
that on the night of the 12th, at

midnight... Doe's comet will careen out
of its orbit and collide with the planet

Earth, extinguishing all life in a fiery
cataclysm.

That's three days from now. Stop it,
Dorothy.

You're scaring all the nod heads.

I bet I can find that comet with my new
telescope lens.

Did it come, Mr. Bray? Oh, it's here.
But that comet ain't gonna come crashing

into us.

How do you know that?

Because them cometographers, they don't
know anything anymore than all the rest

of the scientists do.

That's not true, is it, Mo?

Suns, you still think? Well, of course
they do, but in this case, I must agree

with Lauren.

But it's in the paper, Dr. Mike.

Well, that doesn't mean it's true, Myra.
If there really were a comet set to

collide with Earth, the astronomers
would have known about it before today.

But it says here that this Dr.

Lancaster, sure it's coming. Well, I've
never heard of Stowe's Comet.

Does the famous Dr.

Lancaster have any scientific evidence
to support his theory?

It says right here, there will be freak
storms and a hail of meteorites will

fill the night sky with fireballs from
the heavens. And these fireballs will

bring with them strange gases that cause
changes in the natural order of things,

making water run red.

forcing animals to alter shape and
color, causing the Earth to crack open

volcanic -like eruptions where there are
no volcanoes.

Sounds like a good time to me.

Not to me.

That's not it. It's a simple dune thing.

You sure that story don't say something
else, Dorothy?

Sounds made up if you ask me. I already
told you, it is made up.

But this is a respectable newspaper from
back east, the New York Post.

They usually know things in New York.

Oh, they know a great deal in New York
horror, including how to have a little

fun with gullible readers.

May I have a look at that article?

You like?

Oh, is it a horror?

Still smoking.

What is it?

I don't know.

You think that's the comet, Ma? It can't
be a comet, Brian.

Believe it's a meteorite.

Didn't the papers say that there are
lots of meteorites before the comet

crashes? This here's the only one,
Colleen.

Maybe there are more of them in places
that we can't see.

Does this mean the world's coming to an
end, Ma?

No, Brian.

The world is most certainly not coming
to an end.

Colleen, you say you found this in the
woods?

I made a big hole and it was so hot it
had smoke coming out of it.

We all saw it. Just like in the paper.
I'll bet it's a sign. It's not a sign.

Then what is it?

It's a stone that is fed through the
atmosphere fast enough to heat up into a

full fireball.

It's what we commonly refer to as a
falling star.

What if bigger ones are on the way?

Reverend, are you worried about large
meteorites?

Me?

Well...

No.

This is just one meteorite. It's a
simple, lone meteorite. Probably the

meteorite that we'll ever see.

So, I suggest that we just go on about
our business.

Right, Dr. Monk? Right.

So now what do we do?

Well, you heard the Reverend. Today's
just like any other day.

That means you go to school.

Got me an idea about what to do before
that comet hits.

Oh, it's all a bunch of malarkey.

Yeah, a little malarkey never hurt
business, man.

What are you talking about?

Folks get riled up because the world's
ending. They're going to spend all that

money they've been saving for the future
because there ain't no future to save

for no more.

Yeah? We just got to help things along a
little bit.

And how do we do that?

You're not going to print that, are you?
Well, of course I am.

This town's never seen a real meteorite
before.

But the way you're writing it, people
are going to believe that the meteorite

has something to do with that crazy
story about the end of the world.

Michaela, people already believe it.
Well, they shouldn't.

Michaela, I don't report on what people
should believe. I report on what people

do believe.

But can't you wait for a few days and
then write about the meteorite? Once

people realize the story in the post is
only a hoax?

It'll be old news by then.

Your meteorite is a story today.

Well, it doesn't seem like much of a
story to me.

Well, nothing's happened except that...
The water has turned red!

The water is red!

What happened? The water is red.

She's right, it's red.

It's another sign.

It's probably just mineral deposits.

I ain't never seen mineral deposits like
this before. It's a sign.

Oh, it's a sign, all right.

I'm sure there's an explanation.

Well, I don't need no explanation.

What I need is a drink.

Hank,

I want your finest whiskey. Happy to
oblige. Come on.

I need a drink.

I thought I might buy me some of them
expensive cigars you got in your store

there. Why, that seems like good
thinking to me. How about you, Robert E?

you gonna buy?

Don't know.

You gotta want something.

How about you, nothead?

None of your business.

How about another sarsaparilla?

How about you shut up?

Better hope the world's ending, Horace.

Looks like you want to blow off a little
steam before you go, Horace.

Drink up, boys.

It's almost over.

Give me a case of whiskey.

Hey, you can't drink all that in two
days.

I drink it whenever I want.

Ten dollars, you can drink it right now
for all I care.

I ain't paying ten more dollars.

I mean, you ain't getting a case.

I'm offering you a fair price, Hank. I
expect you to take it. The world's

ending, Jake.

Ain't nothing fair anymore.

Come on, I'll take it, Hank. Right here.

What are you doing, Mr. Flicker?

What's it look like I'm doing?

Making a hole.

It ain't a hole. It's a shelter.

What for?

For when that comet hits.

That paper said there's going to be a
big fireball that kills everything on

face of the earth, so I'm going to wait
it out under the ground, nice and cozy.

Alone? All by yourself?

Yeah, that's right.

Can I see your shelter, Winston?

No. Nobody can see it. And if you want
one of your own, you better start

right now.

We are not digging a shelter.

Mr. Slicker said it's a good idea.

That comet hit.

The hole in the ground ain't gonna do
you any good.

Sully! That's right.

It hits us. We're goners. There is no
comet coming. How come you're so sure,

Nobody else is. Because I know a hoax
when I hear one.

Can you prove it's a hoax?

No, but I know someone who can.

You really think you'll know if the
comet's coming

or not?

Dr. James Edward Shomer's been taught
astronomy at Harvard for 30 years. He'll

know.

It's then.

We ought to get an answer real soon.

Thank you, Horace.

The telegraph's gone dead, Dr. Mike.

I think we got our answer.

What if the Reverend has to cancel
school because no one's there?

Well, that'll give you and Brian a
chance to catch up on your chores at

You've been saving that money ever since
your first customer. The last customer

ain't too far off. I'm gonna spend it
while I still can.

Anything I can do to help you, Grace?

Yes. I want that fine china.

The set from New York?

No.

The set from France.

I want something that's going to make
people think my place is special before

they go.

And if I have to spend all my money...
Grace, please don't.

Why not?

Because it's not like you.

What if Robert E. suddenly decided to
quit working? Said he wanted to lie

all day in a hammock.

That's a fine idea, Dr.

Mike. I've been working every day since
before I can remember. It's time I did

nothing for once. Lauren, you got any
hammocks?

You betcha. Right by the candy jars.

I want the biggest one you've got.

Ruby, I didn't... Anything else for you,
Grace?

Yes.

Everybody, the cafe is officially
closed.

And I would like to open up a new
restaurant this morning.

Chez Grace.

So you better make your reservations
early if you want a table.

And a little.

I'm eating by the kitten tree.

And you're not even showing up for
school?

I was saving my fireworks for the 4th of
July, but not anymore.

No more school. No more rules. We're
going to do whatever we want.

shelter. What's a comet shelter, Jake?

Oh, nobody cares about what Jake's
doing.

I do.

I'm recording the last days of Colorado
Springs and burying the story in a metal

box so someone will know what went on
before the comet hit. So what's the

shelter, Jake?

I'll show you. I'm going there right
now.

I got just enough room for you.

I'm only reporting on it, Jake. I'm not
going to be in it when the comet hits.

That's going to be $20.

You're worse than Hank.

Why didn't you give it to Jake for free,
Lauren?

Because it cost $20, that's why.

Well, if the world's coming to an end,
what do you need money for?

I just want to see how much I can make
before I go out of business.

Forever.

You planning on eating sometime, Robert
E.? I ain't planning on doing nothing

except laying right here.

You ain't touched your meatloaf, Horace.
Something wrong with the food?

Oh, no, it ain't the food, Grace. My
stomach's acting up.

Sorry.

Aren't you all right, Pop?

I guess it's all this talk about the
world, isn't it?

What do you mean?

What's worrying you, Maya?

I wish we could see the baby before we
go.

Hey,

you watch where you're going.

Or what?

Or this.

You're supposed to do that after I hit
your horse. What's wrong, hon?

Looking at Hank's making me sick.

Go to Dr. Mike.

I'll be all right.

This ain't over yet.

Yeah.

Good. So, you tell me what you think.

Why not, Ingrid?

That's right, Matthew.

I don't want to die.

Maybe we'll not go to heaven then.

We're engaged.

But we're not married yet.

What if we get married?

Today.

How?

We'll go see the reverend.

I bet he'll understand.

Finish the bench. Thank you.

I thought maybe we'd do something
special this afternoon.

What?

Because we only have one more day before
the great comet strikes?

Because you're the woman I love, and I'd
like to spend the afternoon with you.

You actually believe it's true, don't
you?

I'm not saying it's true.

Then what are you saying?

I'm saying, what if it were true?

Makes you think, don't it?

No, it doesn't.

Well, it should.

Because even if it's not true now,
someday we're all going to leave this

When that time comes, what are you going
to say? I sure wish I would have read

more medical books.

I wish I would have spent time with the
folks I love.

Try pretending.

What would you want to do today?

I'm not very good at pretending.

You need a little practice.

Well, there is something.

Says who?

My father.

What did he say was so silly?

Kites.

I could see them sailing over the trees
on the comet from my desk when I was

little.

I always imagined people having so much
fun flying them.

Then let's try flying a kite today.

No, I can't. Why not?

Because people would think that I
actually believe that comet's coming.

What if we went someplace where nobody
would see us?

I'm a grown woman. I should be flying a
kite.

Come on.

I'll help. Start running.

Give him more line. Go, go, go. Don't
stop.

Go, run, go.

Go get it.

No, it was lonely, Sally.

And I can't spend my day chasing after a
kite.

Becky! Come in.

Oh, oh, Mom.

I don't have that one. Here we go.

Yeah.

Becky!

We can do anything we want.

Just wait till tonight when we set these
off.

We're staying out till night?

We're staying out all night.

Talking back at the store. Now we're on
to come to. This isn't for kids. You're

a kid. You're a kid. I'm a grown up. Are
not.

I would have been one real soon.

So I get to see what I'm missing.

Before the world ends.

This ought to count for animals turning
colors. You bet.

Having fun?

I'm a caveman, getting all riled up.

That's a new way of that. Everyone!

Everyone, look!

Look!

Here's another sign that the world is
ending.

Hank and Lauren were painting a horse.

Blue. Just having a little fun, that's
all.

And I suppose you put something in the
well to make the water red? Did you?

Well, I thought that was funny myself.

Yeah, real funny, you two.

Guys? I'm going to blame that one on a
few people.

People, please, let's not panic.

Let's just move along.

Raymond, Raymond, I want to talk to you.
Perhaps later.

Not later.

We want to marry now.

You want to get married?

Wherever we need to speak. I cannot
marry you now.

Marry? Don't be ridiculous. You can't
get married now.

Why not?

I simply don't have the time for it.
Exactly.

There's no time.

And as you can see, the church is full
right now. Precisely. There's no room in

the church.

You may not have any time or any room,
but we're still doing it.

Be reasonable, Matthew.

We have not time to be reasonable, Dr.
Mike.

Well, how are you going to get married
without the reverend?

We're going to find a way.

Hey, Cloud Anson.

You travel alone today?

Well, Colleen would let me stay and do
grown -up things with her.

You will be a man soon enough.

I'm never going to be a man.

The world's ending tomorrow.

Who told you this?

It was in the newspaper.

A famous scientist said a comet's going
to hit us.

Do you trust this man?

Well, he knew about all the signs.

I even found where the full -on star
detail was coming.

The scientist tells you that falling
stars are a sign the world is ending.

What else could they mean?

We believe they are souls that make the
journey to their final destination.

A hope.

Thought you were going to take it easy
in that hammock for the rest of your

life.

I can't just lay there, Grace.

The world's ending, and we're not going
to be here after tomorrow.

We're going to be in heaven, Robert E.
I'm not talking about heaven. I'm

about dying when that comet hits, and
what's that going to be like?

You can't think about that.

It's in God's hands now.

Maybe this comet will not come.

All these signs.

I don't see how it's going to miss us.

Will you stay with me till the end?

Of course I will.

It feels like we are married.

Right now.

Sure does.

Is that it?

That's all I had.

My pa said he'd take me to Philadelphia
next 4th of July.

He says they got the best fireworks
there because that's where it got

the first place.

Now we'll never get there to see it.

I'll never have a ranch of my own.

I'll never become a doctor.

It sure is dark.

I think this is what it'll be like.

After the comet?

And we're all gone?

I bet it'll be just like this.

But we'll all be together.

How do you know that?

How can anybody know what heaven's like?

I heard it says in the Bible that we all
look different in heaven.

So that you can't recognize your family.

Or any of your friends.

I think I want to go home now.

Ma, if you take something from somebody
and they start getting mad, do you think

they'd stop being mad if you put it
back?

I don't know.

Are you sure Colleen can see where she's
going?

She's doing grown -up stuff.

Where is she, Brian?

She don't want anybody looking for her.

Where have you been?

Colleen?

I wanted to do something fun with my
friends before it was too late.

Now, Colleen, I promise you... Can you
promise me for sure what's going to

happen tomorrow?

Well, how about you, Sully?

Can you make sure nothing bad happens?

No. Nobody can do that.

Now, Colleen, there's no reason to fear
tomorrow any more than the next day or

the day after that.

There is no next day or the day after
that. Of course there is.

I have no fear. Because you're not
afraid doesn't mean I'm not afraid.

this final day with Margaret.

Reverend?

Are you alright?

I'm a little tired.

I think I've heard the confession of
everybody in town these last two days.

Do you have room for one more?

Yes, of course.

It's Colleen.

She's afraid.

We're all afraid.

Yes, but I'm not sure what to do.

Who can be sure of what to do at a time
like this?

Well, I thought that you might know.

And so I should.

But I don't.

Well, we all have times of uncertainty.

Do you?

Do you have times when you feel that
you're not sure you can give a patient

help they need?

Of course.

What do you do?

I just simply do the best I can.

Do you tell them that you're unsure of
yourself?

I try to be honest.

So you always tell your patients the
truth?

Often patients with difficult prognosis
will know the truth without me saying

it. What happens then?

Then I try to be there for them.

In whatever way I can.

Those patients don't need my certainty.
They need me.

Thank you, Michaela.

Thank you, Reverend.

Where's Brian?

He's not here.

He told me he was going to see you.

He told me he was coming here.

Did you see him today?

I saw him at the store. He had that
meteorite.

But I know where he is.

It's the only place he could have gone.
Dr. Mike!

My heart.

Don't worry, I'll get him. I want to go
with you.

Please, Mom.

Go on.

I'll meet you at the church.

I promise.

My heart started pounding and I couldn't
catch my breath.

A whole chest hurt.

When did this start?

Just now. I started thinking how that
comet was going to be here in two hours.

Did you tell us it seemed to be working?

You'll be fine.

You're kind of foolish thinking my heart
was given out.

A nurse is nothing to feel foolish
about, Robert. He did the right thing

here.

Well, we'd better go on over to the
church.

You're going to join us, Dr. Mike? Go
on. I'll meet you there.

I fixed the telegraph.

Hank?

Help me get Horace into the clinic.

I'm dizzy.

Hank!

Hank!

Too bad for Horace.

Hank!

Pink.

horse sure he's all right sure

Matthew have you seen horse no Maya I
have

she's been here by now he's most likely
man in his post you know how responsible

he is yes he is I'd like to start

I'm not sure that I know how to lead a
service in this final hour.

But the one thing that I do know, the
thing that I do know is that

I wanted the chance to thank you all for
your faith, for your kindness,

and for listening to me preach so many
Sundays.

I can't think of any people that I'd
rather be with, because the Lord calls

home.

Let's turn to Revelation chapter 6.

Thank God the appendix hasn't burst yet,
so there's no fear of peritonitis.

Yeah, why?

Please, hand me the forceps.

Next to the scalp.

I mean, next to the small knife.

What about comments, Michaela?

You got any fear of them?

Nope.

Scalpel.

Nothing scares Michaela Quinn, right?

Hold this.

I'm frightened sometimes, Hank.

Same thing that frightened all of us.

Losing the people we love.

I thought that, though, buying that
fancy china would make

my cafe something special.

But it ain't the dishes.

It's the people that made it special.

I laid around in that hammock as long as
I could.

Truth is, I never felt better than I

did after Honest Day's work.

Well, I wanted to be the richest man in
town.

But, well, if there was a tomorrow, I'd
give everybody their money back.

I could have stayed in that common
shelter for a month.

I had everything I needed.

Except... Except for all of us, Jay.

Well, I hope somebody finds my story
someday.

Not because...

I want them to know what we did here.

But because I want them to know who we
were.

You're gonna just leave him like this?

Right now, my children need me more.

Besides, he's not alone.

You're here to watch him.

Where's Mom?

I can't find Dr. Mike.

There's his heart.

He collapsed.

He's fine. He's safe at the clinic.

It's too dangerous for you to go out
there right now, but don't worry. He's

safe hands.

I'm afraid.

I am too.

I'm afraid I've never let you know how
important your feelings are to me.

Oh, yeah.

Telegram. In my pocket.

I got it, Tom.

Probably nothing.

You're going.

You're going.

I'm going to your shelter. But the
world's not ended. It is for me if I

get that bag of money I left in there.

Look, Brian, here's another one.

Thank you.

What?

Oh, nothing.
