02x06 - The Doctor Willloughby Story

[bunniefuu]

You will make room in your train for Dr.

C Ames, who will be

a doctor.

Well, it's just ridiculous.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to. Take you to Silverlake.

Anybody can see.

It's perfectly obvious

that when the governor wrote this,
he thought you were a man.

A female saw goes out. In this major.

I'm a doctor.

And that letter instructs you
to take me to Silver Creek.

No matter what
your personal opinion might be.

Well, let me tell you something, missy.

You may know something about Doctor,
and I don't know, but I happen to know

something about Silver Creek
in the country, in the town of the people.

And I'm not going to be responsible
for taking you along

on an outing to that country.

Then you refuse to abide
by the instructions of that letter.

Get that letter with you.

I am responsible
for the people in my wagon.

To tell you something major.

I purchased a wagon
and all of my things are stored in it.

Ready to go.

Now I'm going to Silver Creek.

If I have to go alone.

Why. Don't you just try that?

You'll never be seen or heard of a again.

Would you like to accept
that responsibility made you

all right?

All right. I'll take it.

But we leave at the crack of dawn tomorrow
morning, and you better be on time.

You ever want to fight with a woman?

A woman doctor of

it? Go and look, mister.

You made me promise

on my mother that I would let you know
when it was a half hour before dawn.

I'm not going to tell you anymore.

Now get going.

You're a gentleman and a scholar,

and I hereby officially
relieve you of your work.

Oh, get going. I need one more.

Don't you understand?

Just one more.

Something I can do for you, lady.

This man is sick.

Can you help me get him on the couch?

Sick lady, He's drunk.

I tell you, he's sick.

I'm a doctor.

Lady, if you're a doctor, I'm the stork.

Bah bah

bah bah bah bah bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.

Hey, you know how to wake up a drunk?

Bah bah bah

bah bah bah.

What do you work in?

I can come over and watch you dance
sometime.

Come on. Stand up.

Stand up.

Where do you live?

I'll see that you're taken home.

I'm not interested.

I told you I'll come watch at some point.

Better hurry, Doctor.

Maybe he's ready.

Do you know who this man is?

You know where he lives.

I said, do you know who this man is?

Do you know where he lives?

He ain't from around these parts.

And if you can believe a drunk.

His name is Grover.

He's just passing through on that wagon
train

that Major Adams over by Foster's
Pond on the north side of town.

And he's later straightened out.

Hey, Got time to do some of you know?

Oh, we better get somebody
to check on him, Player.

Much obliged to.

I can handle my.

Horses, Major,
but they just ain't. No sense sensible.

I just can't take it.

It was bound to declare the matter,
ain't it?

Well, that's no skin off my nose.

I told her to be on time.

Could you tell Major Doctor Willoughby?

A woman Doctor?

A female saw bones.

That's
what's been holding us up all morning.

I can't find her. No place.

Well, we're not going to wait any longer.

I told her to be here
at the crack of dawn.

We're just not going to wait.

We're going to go on and party here
either.

Mark, where is he?

Boy, he's wagon for lots of things.
He ain't been there all night.

You go get yourself a horse.

We're going to town
and get him more weight.

What, are you wasting time on that
drunken Billy?

We got company
by Grover's. No. Good. You're not.

Wo. Where?

Doctor Willoughby, what's your hurry?

Only an hour late.

And there's supposed to be a man
on this train named Grover.

That's right. By Grover.
Have you seen him?

Well, the people on this wagon train
are your responsibility, Major.

Have you seen him?
Do you know where he is?

Yes, he's right back there.

Well, give me a hand.

Let's get this one out of this wagon.

Now, don't move him.

Now, look here, lady.

Doctor.

Doctor.

Lady, I don't care what you call yourself.

I gave him to you last night,
much against my better judgment.

But if you think you're going to tell me
how to handle the people on this train,

you've got another thing coming.

That man is sick and as a doctor,
I order you not to move him.

He's sick, all right?

Like a sponge. He's just plain drunk.

He needs medical attention.

If he doesn't get it, he'll get pneumonia.

You can tell by the color of his skin
he has a liver ailment.

It might turn into stomach poisoning.

Come on, Bill. We've wasted
enough time already with.

I'm sorry to have delayed your start.

Well, if any of you need
medical attention, I am a doctor.

I'll be with you until Silver Creek

to imagine a woman doctor.

Well, we hear of such a thing.

And if she is a doctor
and has to take care

of a man.

Major, I'm going to need your help.

That'll be the day

I'm going to do for you, Ma'am.

I have to take care of your friend.

Help me get down off his wagon.

Listen, you have given me
just about enough delay already.

He's your responsibility to have
you be kind enough to drive the wagon.

I'm not. Going to drive this.

Plan. Attend to your friend
and drive the wagon at the same time.

Major

Bill, go get a driver up here.

I'll pull him in the line.

I'm time.

I need to get started.

I gave Bart Grover strict orders
not to leave this camp last night.

It seems to me, Major

Adams, that you possess
a great proficiency for issuing orders.

And I deplorable lack of efficiency
in their enforcement.

Look here. Major.

I shouldn't have said that.

We've all had a trying day.

I'm sorry.

You're not here to pick up.

The people on this train.

They're really not such bad people.

Once you get to know them, it's
just that they're.

You don't have to apologize for the major.

I've been a doctor for a number of years.

I don't think there's anything

people can do or say that would offend me
because of my chosen profession.

I'm sure that.

Must be a

very sensitive and observant
man to have noticed.

You know, the people on your wagon
train are relatively nice.

Back in Boston, they used to throw stones
through my windows and hooted me

on the street.

Shocking to see how a*usive people can be

when they don't understand
and become intolerant.

The interesting thing is
that women are the most a*usive.

Can you explain that?

Well, no,

I don't guess it could.

You see,

I don't really know much about women.

That's very honest.

It's rare to find a man who would admit
it made you.

You know, there's
no need to be so formal out here.

Why don't you just call me sir?

All right.

My name is Carol.

Carol?

Well, I must say,
it suits you better than doctor.

Why does Carol suit me better than Dr..

Well, ma'am, you can't deny.

That made it pretty wrong.

But what do you think?
Because I'm a doctor.

I'm not a woman that I wouldn't like
to have a home

and children and a husband
to share all my problems and pleasures.

Well, if that's what you think,
Major, you're wrong.

But then I forgot.

You don't know anything about women.

No, ma'am, I don't.

And I've never been married
outside of the women on the wagon train.

I just don't see many. Well,

I just shows you I would have wagered
you were a married man.

I might. Amendment.

She died.

Oh, I'm

sorry, I.

I didn't mean to pry.

She must have been very lovely.

She was.

But then I guess that was just

meant to be, that's all.

So do you believe that
there is a predestined plan to our lives?

That what's to happen will happen
no matter what we want to do?

Well, Carol,

I can only speak for myself, but

I really think I'm doing what
I was meant to do.

Oh, sure.

I've got some regrets about things
that have happened in the past, but

somehow I feel
those things were meant to be.

For the future,

I'd like to believe that everything
that's going to happen,

going to happen to the best.

I might not have put it just that way,

but I think you and
I have a lot in common.

I think we could become very good friends

like you, sir.

I'm concerned about your friend Mr.

Grover. He's a sick man.

Why does he drink so much?

I don't mean how did it become a drug
or a crutch to him.

I know how medically.

What I want to know is why I knew that

there's a possibility I could help him.

Carol,

I have known Brad Grover practically

all my life, and that's quite a while.

See, we grew up together.

They were always real good friends.

Then when the w*r came along,
all the others just got right behind

that brass band and filed into the nearest
recruiting office that night.

But he was a kind of a pacifist.

Digger

said he didn't believe in k*lling people.

Nobody could dispute
how right the man was,

but that

didn't keep other people
from poking fun at him

just because he wasn't in uniform.

I poke fun at him, too.

I think that's why I finally joined him.

And from there on in,

everything went wrong for Mark.

See, he married a pretty little girl

from not only Low,
but he just really worshiped

the army and the fighting and everything
just almost drove him out of his mind.

He wasn't a bad soldier.

He didn't drink and carouse right.

Whatever was bothering him,

he kept to himself.

And finally, when the w*r was over,

Mark went home.

He found out that that pretty little girl

had run off with some other man,

but just fell into a thousand
little pieces.

So he was never able to

get those pieces back together again.

That's when he found the bottle.

I never forgive myself

for putting him into the army.

Anyhow, we brought him out to the west,

to the big sky
and the great, great open country,

hoping to God that would do him some good.

But it hasn't worked.

The crowds.

It's a real tragedy.

The poor fellow,

he can't see anything,

can't hear anything,
think anything's just.

He just had a big baby
with a bottle around.

He may have.

Had Charley here I am.

Sad. But again, he found out
when two bottles he had stashed away.

And he's dead drunk and sick.

Do you still say that
same thing over and over.

I'm going to k*ll them
both. I'm going to k*ll them both.

Where is he
now? Well, we get medical treatment.

Put him in the females.

Our bones wagon,
and then I come to tell you about it.

I'll take care of him, Major.

I hope you can.

What do you want to do?

Just keep the people back.

Nothing I can do for him.

Now, get sir an ice cream.

You can. I'll go have a look.

Charlie, take your.

Sure.

Never expected in the. In trouble
in this part of the country.

Major, this man is still alive.

He's sure he's still got a pulse.

You think you can do anything for him?

Well, I'll try.

To get him inside a circle.

Watch for him.

His hand here was.

If you get a chance.

Then all I can.

Doctor,

I think I'd better tell you.

We may be in for some real trouble.

I just don't understand

colors out here someplace.

But of course, he could have passed
through here before this happened.

Here was any possibility that

he could come to long enough
for us to learn anything about it.

I've given him caffeine.

That's a stimulant for his heart.

All we can do now is wait.

Ma'am. I can't get that. Robert, eat it.

I'll shut down his throat. If you say so.

No, I better see him
if he should come too.

For only a moment sent for me.

I brought you some stew.

I know how you feel.

But you have to eat good.

You know, I feel to know

what it's like to have a belly
that feels as if it's

full of feathers.

You haven't had any nourishment in days.

Try. Why?

Please.

No, thanks,

Mother.

I don't know why I bother with you.

I swear by Apollo, the physician.

I Asclepius hygiene panacea,

and I take to witness all the gods,
all the goddesses

to keep according to my ability,
in my judgment,

the following oath.

In every house where I enter,

I will enter only
for the good of my patients,

keeping myself

from all intentionally
doing and seduction,

and especially from the pleasures of love
with women or men,

be they or sl*ves.

All may come to my knowledge,
in the exercise of my profession

or outside of my profession,
or in daily commerce with men.

It should not be spread abroad.

I will never reveal

if I keep this oath faithfully,

may I enjoy my life and practice my art.

That's why you bother with me

to practice your art doctor.

Without a patient,

how can you practice?

You're a fool.

The worst kind, an educated fool.

And I've taken all the insults
I intend to take.

Now eat this or I'll go out
and get some of the men to force it

down. You.

You want to help me?

You get me a drink.

If you're any kind of doctor
till you get me a drink.

Let's stop playing games.

I don't care what you think.

Please.

He has moved,

but I think he's breathing easier, though.

Seth, have you got any liquor?

Yeah.

For him? No.

Oh, but once a drinker.

I need a bottle right away.

Well, you're not going to get it.

He just can't handle it.

Girl,
you ought to know that as well as I do.

Let him suffer it out here. Get over it.

If he gets too on me, we'll just hog time.

We've had to do it before.
He refused to give it to me.

I most certainly. Do.

Must I remind you that he's a sick man?

All right.
He's a sick man. You're the doctor.

You get him.

Well,
but I'll. Be gol darned if I'm going to.

Let you try to cure fire with fire
where that fellow's concern.

Oh, Carol, why don't you give up?

Let us take care of Bard.

Will you quit worrying about him?

That's cure.

I know I'm for a drink.
As I said, a well-placed knuckles.

It's much better than all your medicines
and all your attention.

Major,
I haven't got the time of the patients

to hear your theories.

I know you're
the boss of this wagon train,

but you've got to have respect
for me. As a doctor.

You can refuse to give me the liquor,
but I think it's only fair to warn you

that you'll be forcing me to use
my limited supply of medical alcohol,

which could endanger somebody else's life
if they needed heroin.

You listened.

All right, Doctor.

I don't know.

Where you are.

You just remember,
this is your idea, not mine.

Stop looking at me like that.

Get out! Get out! Leave me alone.

What's the matter with you?

Don't you understand that
you and all women make me sick?

A doctor by a woman doctor.

What are you.

What woman?

What are you?

You're nothing. You're nothing. As I am.

You. You hate me, don't you?

Well, say it. Say it.

You hate me.

Get out.

Get out,

Get out.

Leave me alone.

Get out.

Bill.

Charlie.

Keep an eye on him.

What?

Doctor?

Doctor?

Yes, He's coming to the conscious.

Not yet, but you better come. Oh.

Oh. Easy. Oh.

Now, relax.

The Indians are gone.
You were amongst friends.

Can you hear me?

The Indians are gone.

You're among friends.

Can you tell us what happened?

Can you hear me?

Can you tell us what happened?

I over Indian girl

k*lled Father

Chief

Big Elk

herd.

How was the.

How was my brother

k*lled.

m*rder*d?

Who would you.

I need some help and a couple of shovels.

Yes, sir.

Hell,
you better try to get some rest. You.

This may be a night.

We'll never forget it
if we live through it. You.

But what the devil are you doing out here?

Come on, let's get back to the wagons.

You know, Seth, the stars look different
than when you look at them

through the bottom of a bottle.

A couple of white trappers have k*lled
an Indian chief.

We've got trouble. Real trouble.

I can smell the dew on the dry grass,
and it doesn't remind me of whiskey.

But they're Indians out here.
They're hostile.

I can smell you a mile away
if you don't listen to me.

And come on.

You're going to be seeing more stars than
you ever saw in the bottom of a bottle.

Come on. How long before sunup?

It's funny.

It's been a long time since I cared

whether the sun does come up.

How long ago, Seth,

was the w*r over? How?

Six years.

March.

Six years.

Six years?

That's right.

June.

I haven't.

I haven't.

I haven't.

I haven't

flinched too far out ahead of us.

Chances are
he knows about this Indian flare up.

If he does,
and if nothing has happened to him,

he's probably hit it on the floor.

It's dead.

No use talking about going back at all.

Very close to the fort stared.

We are any place else he gets through.

You have little to worry about.

As you're all get through.

Good morning, Doctor.

We'll talk to you when we get a chance.

All the rest of you pass
the word to the other wagons, will you?

We're going to pull out as soon as we can.

Rig your wagons for battle.

Tell every single driver to keep up, cross

and a circle
up at the side of the first Indian attack.

I don't care if they hear the order
or not, sir.

Get up and get ready for a fight.

Any wagon pulls out a line.

We haven't got time to stop.

Pick them up, pull them back in again.

That clear? Indians

and let them

try and touch me.

They can't stand fast.

Make no move. It looks like resistance.

No firing whatsoever.

Unless I give the order.

I repeat no resistance and no firing.

They are going to give me a white rag
or a stick maker.

All that talk about resistance,
they mean here to fight, not talk.

Yeah, maybe so. Charlie,

I'm going to go try to make them talk.

Major, are you sure
this is the right thing to do?

No, ma'am, I'm not.

I'm going to try. It

right, Mr.

Ducked.

I'm ashamed.

I don't even know your first name

Calling you Doctor

after what happened last night
doesn't seem right.

What I mean is

what I'm trying to say is.

Well, it's difficult.

It's impossible if I call you doctor,

it's Carol.

Carol, I know something

very important happened last night,

and it's important that I tell you.

I think I know.

How far away it looks so far.

An Indian chief I was talking to.

There is white feather.

Happens to be a friend of mine.

I wouldn't have made any difference.

Except for one thing.

Big Al is still alive.

White feather.

Once an eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth.

So I've made a deal with him.

I'm going back to the village with him
to try to save Big Oaks life.

How badly wounded?

I don't know, Doctor, except
they told me he had a b*llet right here.

Oh, they did say one thing is
that the wound

was all full of evil spirits,
which means that it's infected.

Well, the first thing to do
is to get the b*llet out

and cauterize the wound,
at least to have a chance.

And if what you say is so, sir,

that b*llet could be in his lung
or close to his heart.

I realize that it's a gamble
I had to take.

The only chance we had.

I can perform the operation.

He sure can, Doctor.

But it's dangerous
going back with those Indians.

I'm willing.

All right, Doc, you're not going to get
any argument out of me on that score.

Far as I'm concerned, you're the boss
of the surgical department.

I just hope you're a. Good doctor.

Because if there's anything
I don't want to be, its a dead hero.

I'll get my medical bag.

Johnny, go get her a horse.

Bill.

You know they're not going to let you
move this train out of here

unless we save Big Oaks lives on Flint,
comes back with any troops.

Don't let them or

anybody else make any issue of it
until you know exactly our circumstances.

Clear innocent minds.

Said if anything happens to her

and the Indians don't k*ll you,

I will.

Nothing's going to.

Happen to her as long as I'm still alive.

Her manager, Kara, he's got a chance.

Well, I don't understand it.

The wounds infected, but it's not as bad
as I thought it would be.

The b*llet must have struck
this big rib and deflected.

And if that's the case, it could have
penetrated the pericardial sac.

I can't
probe in there is too close to the heart.

What are you going to do?

I haven't got a choice
that I've got to open up

that area

to keep him as immobile as you can.

He'll probably lose consciousness.

But in the meantime, it's
going to feel a great deal of pain.

And I have to worry about that.

He may feel a pain.

He will move a muscle at this awful.

All right,
hand me that scalpel, the one on the end.

What's happening?

Force me to do it.

Oh, I forgot about that.

Some of these tribes have

prehistoric rules.

They won't let a woman be a medicine man.

I be fighting that

tradition of over 100 years.

We just haven't got a chance. Carol.

I just won't let you do it.

How The devil. I forgot this.
I don't know.

I won't let you do it.

Well, then you're going to have to do it.

Carol, I can't do that.

You've got to. Callison in the Army.

I have to amputate legs and things
like that because this is too delicate.

I can't do this. You have no choice.

And you have to.

Carol, You can do it
if you'll do just exactly as I tell you.

All right.

I'll take the scalpel very gently,
just barely touch the skin,

just barely cut it and make an incision

from there to there.

Right here. Yes.

You see,

that's it.

Easy, right?

That's it. Now

take.

Take this and clamp it onto the skin right
here.

You're just very, very natural.

That's right.

Like that? Yeah.

I doubt

that you're instantly here.

Yes, I'll take your scalpel again

and cut into that muscle right there.

Cut the muscle.

Just enough so you can separate it

right here.

That's right.

That's enough.

That's it.

Now separate it and see easily.

Just don't tear it.

Just move them apart.

Well, it did hit that big rib.

There are the splinters.

There it is.

There you see it

here.

Now, set like this
instrument is what you're going after.

The b*llet went
and go right down into the wound.

Easy.

Take it very gently.

You don't want to tear the flesh.

Does it feel like you're hitting
metal there?

Yeah, I feel it. All right.

Not very easily. Turn your.

Turn Your probe.

That's right.

Easily So that you feel that you're
surrounding it

like that.

That's right.

All right.

If you get on it.

I think so.

All right, now, Clampett,

They're all right.

That's it.

You kind of bring the pull it out

to bring the blood out very slowly,
but straight up,

pulling it.

All right,

here Now.

And you've done it. Said

this man's got a chance.

I think you can make them understand that.

It's no use telling them anything.

They believe what they see

so far a alive.

It's a good thing he is or we wouldn't be.

I'm sure glad I gave you that whiskey.

You said this would saved somebody's

life once.

Mel, this.

Grover's making me nervous.

Walking up and down
like a wild cat in a cage.

Ever since they left.

Well, I know how he feels, Charlie.

You know you don't have any brains at all.

We're in a lot of trouble.

Even Dr.

Willoughby is lucky enough
to get the yokel patched up.

Those Indians are going to stand
by their word.

They've been gone too long,
and we're running out of time and chance.

Maybe I'm not very bright.

I'm smart enough to know
that we don't get Grover a bottle.

He's allowed to go with her.

And if a man ever had an excuse
to get drunk, he's got one.

And so have we.

I'll go get the Jell-O.

Grover

Very good stuff.

Well, does it help any Geordi?

I look

well, I'll be darned.

I pull that needles up here.

Don't have to stay the cross up
to get an arm hair line.

Doctor Willoughby wants to talk to you
immediately.

Well, what does she want?

She wants to see you. Burns.

What's the matter with you?

You look, Harrison.

I saw you talking a bunch.

What's the matter with him?

You know, I think he's got that glint
in his eye for a bottle.

Well, I don't think you're going
to have to worry about that anymore.

Bart's found himself.

He knows what he want.

Yeah, I know what he wants to.

He wants you.

Well, yes, he.

He wanted me.

It pains me to have to tell him
that that can never be.

You see, the most important thing for Bart
was to find someone to love again.

I'll tell you. I'm not going on with you.

You Big Alec is going to need
medical attention for at least two weeks,

and I've to stay here
and see that he pulls through two weeks.

I can't hold up this train for 2 hours,
let alone two.

I don't expect, you know.

Where did you get this idea? Now
there's morning.

You were just as happy to get out of that
teepee as I was.

I came out of that teepee
thinking only as a woman.

I was happy to be alive
and that the ordeal was over.

But I got to thinking about what we had
done.

Two things etched in my mind.

One admiration for your fortitude,
but shame for me

that I would walk out on a sick
man who really needs my help.

So now you're changing your mind
again, huh?

You're getting just like a woman again,
huh? Why?

Just a couple of days ago,
wild horses couldn't

have stopped you from fulfilling
your mission as Silver Creek.

And now, just because of some ungrateful
redskin, you're going to throw your whole.

And you stubborn as you are strong.

I'm not giving up going to Silver Creek.

How I know I'm going to get there.

If I could persuade you,
I can certainly persuade

White Feather to get me there safely.

And there's one other thing.

Don't ever forget this.

I took an oath once
and I'm never going to give it up.

You said it once yourself. Said

everything that happens happens
for the best.

And oh.

Wagon

wrecks in the Nuba mountains

where there has been a board.

Fire and the weather praying to the Lord,
we stand together

side by side, turn the wagons, turn

wagons through

the camp.

A passenger at a time when he said,

We're going to sh**t down the aboard.

I am the weather friend to the road.

We stay together side by side the in.
