All language subtitles for Doctor Odyssey - 01x08 - Quackers.ELiTE.English.C.updated.Addic7ed.com

- Who's that?
- Lenore Laurent.

Her husband owns the cruise line.

And if you wanted, if you decided
that you would like to be an MD,

the captain will support you
for a full scholarship.

Vivian has graciously agreed to
stay with us

for the rest of the season.

Threesome, baby!

- Threesome.
- I think we need to talk.

About what happened.

I had fun.

What happened the other night
was wonderful, but it's not me.

I can't do it. I'm a one-woman man.

I love you. But I can't share you.

Oh, my God.

What have we done?

- Lenore, a whole ship full of Quakers?
- Quackers!

People obsessed with
little rubber duckies

who like to play
hide-and-seek all over the ship.

They bring their own to hide,

and then they spend their days
searching out for others.

It's the latest cruising craze, Bobby.

You've heard of it.
Don't pretend you haven't.

I might have read something about it.

I know that it's some
sort of a movement,

but I don't approve,
and I'll tell you why.

Captain Nielson over at The Nautilus,
he called me up, he told me,

"I had 'em in the engine room,
I had 'em in the plumbing.

They were in the lifeboats,
for God's sake."

Well, we've booked
several dozens of them

for a five-day cruise of fun,
joy, duck decorating

and any other duck-related
happiness they can concoct.

And you, my darling,
will be their cheery host.

Lenore, don't you think that one
of the mid-range ships on the line

is better suited for this sort of thing?

We are doing this special week, Bobby.

It is my prerogative as co-CEO,

You are well aware of the economics
of this industry ever since COVID,

and C: don't be such a snob of the sea.

The Quackers movement brings in
thousands of cruisers a year.

Thousands.

But The Odyssey is
the flagship of the line.

She's the lady of elegance
and dignity and grace.

Well, this week,
she's the flagship of ducks.

And here's another thing
about Quackers week:

everybody participates, okay?

Captain's orders.

People are looking for new ways
to have clean, innocent fun

in this brutal world.

Last year, 50,000 ducks were
hidden on cruise liners globally,

and the Quacker community
is only growing.

What's going on here?
Why am I only just hearing about this?

The rules. Again,
don't shoot the messenger.

Every crew member must make a Quacker.

One that represents you, your dreams,
your goals,

what makes you special.

The more personal, the better.

And then the passengers and crew
will have one hour to hide their ducks.

For the rest of the passage,
it's duck-hunting season, baby.

- Fun ensues.
- And there are prizes.

First, second and third place
for finding the most ducks,

including free cruises and
dinner with our very own captain.

Oh, whoa. Is the crew eligible for this?

Yes, handsome nurse child.

And there is one elusive golden
duck that the captain hides.

Whoever finds this
wins a cash prize of $5,000.

A golden rubber duckie?
Like Willy Wonka?

Social media has literally
hundreds of thousands of people

posting photos of their ducks
and the ships they find them on.

It's The Odyssey's turn.

I hate crafts.
I have no idea what to make.

And this paint smell
is making me nauseous.

Name an important woman
in history for me to decorate.

Joan of Arc. You can paint her
melting and screaming in stoic agony.

Oh, my God.

You know half these ducks
are gonna end up in the water?

Do you have any idea
how destructive this craze is?

Do you know how much plastic
ends up in our oceans every year?

- How much? I bet you know.
- Eleven million tons.

There is not a turtle or bird
anywhere on planet Earth

that has not ingested this stuff.

You know, one time I was on
this animal rescue mission.

I find this seagull
all wrapped up in a fishing net.

Airway is constricted,
mobility is constricted.

It was just tragic.

And why should our wildlife
suffer for our so-called fun?

We never learn.

Well, we could mutiny. I could
explain to Lenore that...

God, this paint smell.
It is so horrible, right?

Last time you tried to explain
something to Lenore, you got fired.

Yeah, but then I got rehired
with a raise, so...

That's a good point.
Anyway, I'm not doing this.

Wow. I recognize that. Is that Van Gogh?

Uh, Starry Night. Yeah.

What makes that personal?

It's in the Museum of Modern Art
in New York,

and my dad was a guard there
when I was little.

Yeah?

I used to sit in front of it
all the time.

And it's magic and sad,

and Van Gogh was going through
a tough time when he painted it,

but it's just filled with beauty.

And that's how life feels to me
when I look at the night sky.

Good answer.

What's yours?

It is the Venezuelan Turpial,
the national bird of Venezuela.

Huh.

It's, uh...

It's where my first ever cruises were.

They got me hooked
on this whole thing, so...

Who'd have thought that these rubber
duckies

would make you think so much?

Hmm.

Drill down on who you are,
what makes you proud of yourself.

Maybe we'll win this thing.

- Hmm. Maybe a trip to Kyoto.
- Oh!

If either one of us wins,
we could share.

- Hello.
- Hi. Welcome aboard The Odyssey.

Hello.

Hello. Oh, aren't you adorable?

Ooh!

- Hello. Hi.
- Hi. Welcome to The Odyssey.

Oh, I like playing hostess
with you, Bobby.

I should really visit
your little vessel more often.

- It's Robert.
- Hmm.

Jill and Jerry Manafort. Hello.

Let me introduce you
to our captain, Robert Massey.

Hello.

These are the Manaforts. They're
the founders of Quackers United.

- Pleasure.
- Pleasure to meet you.

You know, we've done a lot
of these Quackers cruises,

but this boat?

This is the dream. The Odyssey.

Some people don't understand

the joy of
something as simple as a treasure hunt.

You know, spending hours decorating
ducks

or sharing stories.

Lenore, you have been just wonderful.

I mean, supporting our growing and
committed community of Quackers.

We are thrilled that you're here.

We have widowers, widows,
folks just retiring.

Oh, you know, sometimes I think
that the simple pleasures of life,

that's all we have.

Like, friends, family and duck hunts.

Oh. Please, come on.

- Let me show you around.
- Fine.

- It's a pleasure meeting you.
- Pleasure for us.

What's with all the ducks?

Ladies, welcome.
Welcome aboard The Odyssey.

Do you see Avery anywhere?

She was gonna meet us.

Oh, my God. No!

- Look at you!
- Oh, my God!

- Let me guess. Sorority sisters.
- No, not even close.

- Best friends since third grade.
- Hmm.

We have been through everything
together. Three marriages.

Two divorces, including mine.

Max.

And three childbirths.

And four trips to The Eras Tour.

Come on. Let's catch up.

- Oh, my God!
- Okay.

Welcome. Make yourselves comfortable.

Ooh. Nice.

Okay, look.

You've made us wait long enough,
so out with it. What's the surprise?

Uh, well, um,
there's actually two surprises.

I got into medical school.

What?

Yeah. That's why I invited you here.

I wanted to tell you in person.

And I didn't know that it
was gonna be Quackers week.

Avery, that's amazing.

Uh, yeah. And the ship is funding it,

and I can work for the cruise
line after I graduate and...

Stop it. Avery, you're doing it.

Yes, but, um, wait.

No, we're gonna drink this down
and then move on to the next.

I can't because, uh...

The next surprise is I'm...

pregnant.

What?

I'm-I'm actually pregnant.

- Oh, my God. Avery! Oh, my God!
- Oh, Avery!

Wait, am I reading the signs wrong here?

Are you... Are you down
with this? Not okay about it?

I'm not sure how I feel.

Do you remember when Beau was born?

Do I ever...

Eighteen hours of labor,
and you helped pull him out.

Yeah, I cut the cord
and we were all crying.

And you were so sure about that
baby and how much you wanted it.

And right then I thought, "Okay,
yeah. I...

Of course I'd want that."

And now?

And it's okay if you
change your mind. I did.

- You took me. You both did.
- Mm-hmm.

And I never looked back.

I'm proud that I've lived
my life the way that I have.

Adventures, hookups,
moved on, no regrets.

That's easy when you're young
and on a cruise ship,

always headed toward a new horizon.

Never really needing
to drop anchor in your life.

God, I've always been
so careful, you know?

Responsible.

- Are you still on the pill?
- No.

I never went back on after I froze
my eggs during our last hiatus.

And, plus, going off
and on the pill, it is no joke.

- Mm-mmm.
- Condoms were worn, of course.

Yeah, but condoms can
break without you even knowing it.

Yeah.

Other than the science of it,
how are you feeling about it?

Do I want to go to med school?
Heck yes, I do.

Can I have a baby and do that?

Handle the pressure of all of it?

This is the female dilemma.

Hmm.

I think I could.

But...

This wasn't the plan.

The plan was I would
finish this, this cruise life,

and then I would find a job
at a hospital near one of you,

and meet a cool guy
who taught Little League...

...and at the last moment,
the dream would come together.

Maybe this is the last moment.

Maybe I don't need
a white picket fantasy.

Being a nurse at sea,
I always felt like a solitary traveler.

In it alone. So confident, so sure.

And now...

In this moment, no.

Every choice and option

is so filled with possibility
and joy at the same time.

It's so excruciating.

Honey, you are never alone.

You always have us. Always us.

- And you have the father.
- Yeah.

Wait, who is the father?

Just to go over the basics,

the hunt is about to begin.

There are hundreds of places
to hide and find ducks.

As soon as the clock strikes noon,

you will have until the end of the
cruise to find as many as you can.

One more thing,
as a special favor to me,

your dedicated onboard physician

who cares way too much
about the environment,

please take care to make sure that none
of the ducks

end up going overboard.

We need to protect our oceans.

Welcome, Quackers.

It's interesting
how much fun can be had

when the fun thing
is incredibly trivial, right?

Trivial Tristan.
You just float along, don't you?

Gently down the stream.

I was talking about the ducks.

Have I done something?

As a matter of fact, yes.

I don't know where I stand with you.

Please just stop flirting
with me like it's sport, okay?

It's not.

Viv...

I'm sorry.

What I want, really, is for us to
get to know each other bit by bit,

slowly, without, um, rushing.

Is that possible?

I found your duck.

Hmm.

Okay. So tell me something
about yourself.

Something you don't tell other people.

That duck...

it's not just about paying tribute
to the places I've been to. I...

I have Venezuelan heritage.

- It's where the tan comes from.
- Hmm.

But it's not something I knew
a whole lot about growing up.

Then I went to boarding school in
Scotland where I was mocked for it.

I got mocked for this identity
that I didn't even fully understand,

or feel connected to.

And so I was lost
and stuck between two worlds.

Uh, a foot in both.

- A foot in neither?
- Exactly.

Yeah.

And, so, I vowed for
a life of traveling.

Learn about myself,
learn about other people,

and to learn about the world itself.

"The world itself."

I could dig that.

Hey.

I found this little guy
in my triage bag.

Hmm.

Almost like someone
wanted me to find it.

Are either one of you aware
of the great duck spill of 1992?

No, but I can't wait
for you to tell us.

1992, a cargo ship carrying 28,000
rubber ducks and other bath toys

spills them into the North Pacific.

Oh, and then months later
they washed up in Alaska, right?

Oh, no. Three decades later,

they are still finding these
on beaches all over the world.

These have me very depressed
about the state of mankind

and my place in the world.

I'm wondering if I shouldn't just
go back to working in a war zone.

These damned ducks have me
questioning my life choices.

They make people happy, Max.
Is that such a bad thing?

They're a breeding ground for bacteria.
They are germ havens.

And in the natural world,
ducks eat other duck's duckling babies.

They're not even cute.
They're, like, vicious.

They're the serial killers
of the aquatic world.

They're not real ducks, Max.

And "duckling babies" is redundant.

Do you want my special mojito?

If it doesn't have
any booze in it, please.

Are we taking a break, dear?

Sure, I can. I have
all the right ingredients.

But if you change your mind,

the rum is right next to
that little yellow rubber duck.

God, they're everywhere, aren't they?

It's only a few more days,

then the ship gets back to her
regularly scheduled elegance.

Mister Barkeep, please, sir,
I would like a tequila sunrise.

- You got it.
- Moscow mule on Nurse Avery's tab.

- So we've been thinking.
- About your little Jane Austen plight.

Not knowing who the father is.

I think there's a good way
to talk to the boys about this.

A way that makes it fun
and entertaining, like a game.

It's not a game.

I think the Quackers would
disagree with that. Life's a game.

And a hunt for prizes.

Ladies.

Hear us out.

Okay.

Jerry, be sure and get
the plum sauce for it.

And could we share your plate?

I'll get the duck egg rolls
if you get the Peking.

You got it, dearest duckling of my life.

Jerry.

- What was that?
- What was what?

I saw what you just did.

I put an extra plum sauce packet in
my pocket

so we'd have more for later.

"Extra plum sauce packet in my pocket.

Extra plum sauce packet in my pocket."

You try saying that three times fast.

Oh, wow.

This really is the best
Quackers cruise yet, you know?

Yes, it really is.

It's the way it always should be.

You got that right.

Jill, over here!

Let's get those sunglasses off.

Really?

Oh, yes. Really.

Mm-hmm.

You too.

Look straight ahead.

Hyperemia of the conjunctiva.

I know.

When did this happen?

When we got out of the pool.

Hmm.

Tristan, any other symptoms?

Can we just maybe, you know,
confirm what this is, please?

Why don't we start with
a differential diagnosis

and confirm what it's not?

Scabies. Mumps.

- It's bacterial conjunctivitis.
- Yes, it is.

Which you got from those filthy,
nasty, dirty,

grubby ducks in the pool.

And now I'm down a nurse
and down a head chef,

and I want you both
to go back to your cabins

and do not touch anyone or anything,

'cause this stuff is crazy contagious.

And I'm gonna have to have
the pool ultra-chlorinated

and those filthy little
rubber ducks sterilized.

You're dismissed. Thank you.

I told you those ducks were no good.

You confuse me, Max.

Wanna watch a movie in my cabin with me?

Jerry, what is it?

Oh, God. Jerry!

- Okay. Baby?
- Mr. Manafort?

Mr. Manafort?

Pulse is tachy.
We need a gurney right now.

Temperature is elevated, 102.4.

Jerry?

Does it hurt when I do this?

Ow!

Sir, what did you eat today?

Ju-Just the buffet. It was...
...Mu Shu pork.

We got high-pitched bowel sounds.

Suspect a possible obstruction,
maybe volvulus.

Let's get him prepped for a CT scan.

Oh, no.

What is going on? Is everything okay?

Mrs. Manafort, your husband
needs an emergency endoscopy.

We're prepping him for it now.

He appears to have ingested
several objects.

- Objects?
- Yes.

Thankfully, nothing has passed
beyond the stomach,

but it is blocking the valve to
his intestine, causing intense pain.

Are you familiar with pica?

It's a psychological disorder.

A person has the uncontrollable
urge to chew on, or even swallow,

items that have no nutritional value.

Right. But people have
all kinds of quirks.

I mean, I ate a crayon when I was a kid,

and it popped right out
just a few days later.

- Ma'am, this quirk can be deadly.
- Deadly?

- We gotta get these objects out of him.
- Jerry!

Can't I go in with him?

I-I need to hold his hand.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Manafort,
I can't have you in here.

I love you.

Mrs. Manafort?

Is he okay?

He did great.

We're all done.

It looks like we got it all.

Eighteen objects in total.

Several of the objects were very sharp.

Nails, staples. Any one of them
could have perforated Jerry's bowel.

- He's lucky to be alive.
- Oh.

Well, good. Good.

Now we can move on then?

Uh, put this whole
silly thing behind us.

Yes?

No.

Pica is a serious condition.

Getting the objects out of Jerry's
body, that was the easy part.

Now we have to help Jerry
learn not to put objects in his body

in the first place.

Jill, has Jerry ever displayed
these symptoms before.

Of course not.

He's not... What? Some sort
of lunatic? No.

This is his idea of a joke.

He think he's being funny.

He has always gone too far
with the frat jokes.

You know, the... the...

The swallowing the goldfish?

But trust me, I know how to handle him.

You know, in situations like this,

it's
important not to judge the behavior

but to try to understand it.

How am I supposed to understand...

perfectly sane,

perfectly perfect Jerry
swallowing scrap metal like a goat?

Well, you'll probably want
to find a psychologist

or a psychiatrist
to get to the underlying issues,

but pica can be a reaction
to many things.

Loss of autonomy,
exacerbated by stress...

We are on a never-ending vacation.

What could be less stressful than that?

You may want to reevaluate
your lifestyle.

Quackers is not a lifestyle.

It's who we are.

These people are my family.

How soon wi-will he be out?

We're gonna keep him overnight
for observation.

Good. That's a new day.

We have the bird watchers' breakfast.

We have the duck walk contest.

I will swing by
and fetch him in the morning.

Thank you both.

Why don't you get some rest?

I'll take the first shift.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Something's off.
His fever's spiked to 103.5.

I gave him some more Tylenol,

hung another bag of antibiotics,
but something doesn't feel right.

You think perforation? Sepsis?

Dexmedetomidine can't linger in
the body beyond the infusion period.

Patients can experience a transient
fever as the anesthetic wears off.

Damn.

I should have thought of that.

The meds are doing their work.

Really sorry for getting you out of bed.

- No...
- I-I'll continue to monitor.

You go back to sleep.

No, it's fine. I was, uh...
I couldn't sleep anyway.

Craft-induced anxiety dreams?

Yeah. Something like that.

Is this enough?

For you?

- All of this. What we do.
- Oh, boy.

You've having a full-blown rubber
ducky-induced existential spiral.

I mean, it should be, right?

Helping people.

Saving lives.

I always knew that this was my path.

But what if there's other paths?

Like...

I always thought if I became a doctor,

things would start to make sense,

and now I'm working towards that,
and I want that, but...

Now I'm not making sense.

Never mind. It is very late.

When I was in med school,

one of my profs used to love
to tell us this quote:

"If you can laugh at it,
you can deal with it."

Well, love 'em or hate 'em,

I think the Quackers seem to get that.

Did you love medical school?

Did I love it?

I don't know, that's tricky,

because med school is the greatest,

longest, hardest thing
that you are ever gonna do.

But, Avery, you are gonna kill it.

BP's crashing, he's in v-tach.
What's going on?

Give me two lines, wide open.
I'll secure his airway.

- Perforation?
- Gotta get him prepped.

Before he goes into septic shock.
Let's get him ready for ex-lap.

- Should we get Tristan?
- Still contagious.

It's gonna have to be just us.

Two procedures
back-to-back puts him at high risk.

Checking all four quadrants.

Nothing here.

Suction.

I'm seeing signs of perforation.

Fecal contamination.
Pooling blood. Suction.

Irrigate.

I know this isn't standard boat med,

but we're gonna run the bowel manually.

- Looks like acute inflammation.
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, my God.

Necrotic bowel.

This has been going on
a lot longer than we thought.

It's a wonder he's not dead.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

I've got an obstruction here.

Clamp.

Scalpel.

Forceps.

There. I got it.

How did this not show up on the imaging?

Uh, plastic.

CT only picks up dense objects.

It's hollow? I-I have no idea.

It must've appeared
as another fold in the...

A-And we did take, what,
almost 20 foreign objects out of there?

Suture.

I'm gonna throw a couple sutures
in the perforation.

And hopefully we can salvage
as much of this bowel as possible.

Max, this level of necrosis,
what can we even do?

Just put one foot in front of the other.

- Blood pressure's dropping.
- Clamp below this.

Blood pressure
is still dropping. 89 over 51.

Push one of epi,
hang five units of O neg.

Oh, my God.

There's a bleeder in here.
I can't see it.

Pushing one of epi.

BP is rising.

He's stable.

For now.

Hey, Doc.

So that was a blast, wasn't it?

Was it?

What happens with all
the rubber ducks now?

Pack 'em up, send them to the landfill?

Maybe we should just chuck
'em overboard, save 'em the trip.

Actually, they're, uh, going
to the children's hospital.

We found a program.
So we're sending boxes.

- And then the rest, well...
- Yeah.

We organized it, they're going
on another Quackers cruise.

We heard about
your heroic save last night.

Yeah, EMS is meeting us at the port.

He's stable now. He's gonna make it.

Still, a brush with death,
it rattles you.

You hanging in, Maximus?

You know, I'm not unfamiliar
with brushes with death.

And I don't know why, but

I just thought
that this job was gonna be more...

I almost said "smooth sailing."

Yeah, it shocks you when real life
catches up to you on The Odyssey.

A cruise is supposed to be a way
to step away from real life,

but some passengers,
they get hooked, cruise after cruise.

That's not stepping away,
that's running away.

So what do you think that says about us?

Okay, what? No.

It's decided, enough gazing
into the void for one day.

You are coming with us to the
best fish taco spot, up the coast.

We got beers, we got limes,
we got a jukebox with Willie Nelson.

Am I in the mood?

Half an hour.

Meet you at the terminal?

- Good man!
- That's a good man.

She's just sitting there?

Purser couldn't get her to leave.

Hmm. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I need to see those eyes,
Mrs. Doubtfire.

I'm all better.

Promise.

I heard about Mrs. Manafort.
I thought a nice cup of tea would help?

Get her moving.

Mrs. Manafort, it's Dr. Bankman.

I have Tristan and Avery
here with me. Can we come in?

We have tea.

Mrs. Manafort, Jerry's ashore now.

And he needs you there with him.

Is there someone you can call
to go with you to the hospital?

Uh, no. Not really.

It's a nice community, the duck people,

but it is transient.

I wish I could just remain onboard.

Go around... ...one more time.

I understand that, but...

The fact is, you can't stay
on The Odyssey.

Jerry is gonna wake up,

and when he does, he's gonna
want you there to hold his hand.

We have been taking these trips for
the last few years,

organizing them.

You make it your whole life.

Before you know it...

...your world consists of
all these little duck things.

I mean, how?

How can that even happen?

Well, pica is a complex condition. It...

It'll take some time
to fully understand.

It started with him chewing paper.

I thought it was just
a harmless eccentricity. Mmm.

But deep down
I knew something was going on.

Why is it that you can
go on a grand adventure

but can't ask a simple question like,

"Is everything okay?"

You know, I found
that asking the simple questions

is one of the hardest things
to do in life.

But it is also
its own kind of adventure.

And in this case, luck is on your side.

'Cause you still have the time to
change the things

that need changing.

Go to him.

Be with him.

He needs you.

You have all been very kind to me.

Let me help you pack.

Best of luck to you both, Mrs. Manafort.

Thank you.

I need to talk to both of you
in the infirmary.

- Ten minutes?
- Yeah.

These are...

Uh, ducks.

Yeah, they're stupid.

Stupid little baby... baby ducks.

I was, um, crafting, uh, painting,
and, um...

...I wasn't actually
going to give them to you,

but I thought that's the whole
point of this duck thing, right?

It's to...

say something.

Something true.

About yourself.

You're pregnant.

Mm-hmm.

And you think it happened
when the three of us...

Unless it was an immaculate conception.

That was the only time
during my cycle that I...

So obviously there was some sort of...

Uh, condom malfunction. Right.

'Cause we were both
wearing protection, so...

Which apparently can break.

And during the heat of the moment...

mo-mo-moments...

Uh...

So you don't know which one of us...

Okay.

Okay, well, um, congratulations.

Oh. Oh, no. No, no, no, don't do that.

Or-Or...

But not condolences either, right?

Right. Well, look, um...

- If you were my patient... I just...
- No. No Dr. Max either.

I would tell you that, so far as
medical school, you're gonna be fine.

The first couple of years,
the preclinical years,

they're basically just studying,
and with your experience,

it's gonna
feel like a refresher course, honestly.

I had friends who did it
with four-year-old twins.

You're not doing this right.

There are summer programs,
part-time programs.

We can take a paternity test at eight...

Max.

- Have you thought about...
- Of course I thought about it!

That's all I've been doing since
the two lines turned up on the stick

and the blood test confirmed it.

And?

So far, thinking about it
is as far as I've gotten.

What about you? Thoughts? Feelings?

We're kinda having
an important conversation here.

Are you?

Having a conversation?

Or are you just dribbling
your feelings all over Avery,

who called us here,
when she didn't have to,

to talk about what happens next.

Right?

Right.

You've been through this before.

Twice.

Different ship, before this.

The thing is, Max, you and me,
we can weigh in on this, but...

it's not our body.

And so it's not our decision.

But that doesn't mean
she has to be alone.

Aves...

whatever you need,

whatever you want, however you want it.

I can listen,
or-or we can answer questions.

You know? Or I can just...

be here till you figure it out.

Yeah, I learned the hard way
that that's all we can do.

And until Avery gives us the green
light,

what we have to do, Max, is wait.

Hey.

It's all gonna be brilliant.

There's no wrong move.

Thank you for this.

Yeah.
