Doctor Odyssey (2024) s01e04 Episode Script
Wellness Week
1
We've constructed a paradise here
but the world is still the world.
- Defib!
- I don't have a pulse.
Max. He's gone.
I spoke to the captain,
and if you wanted.
if you decided that you
would like to be an M.D.,
he will support you
for a full scholarship.
♪
It was never real.
I was never in love with Avery
to begin with.
I think I just heard you
give me your inherent blessing.
Is it a bad idea?
Sleeping with a subordinate?
Alright, you scallywags.
The heat's on. Bets are in. Let's draw.
If this were Settlers of Catan,
I'm telling you
whole different story.
Mm-hmm.
I'll trade two.
Two please, Cap.
So, we all jazzed for "Welles-ness
Week" with Bethany Welles?
I had to Zoom with her two weeks ago.
Bethany asked me,
the head of housekeeping,
to personally wash all the linens
in her own special detergent
made from pickled cucumber brine.
Aren't pickled cucumbers just pickles?
This woman is a wellness celebrity.
She has no idea about what we do,
and yet, for a week, we give her
the keys to the kingdom.
It's like putting a toddler
behind a Mack truck
and saying, "Happy trails."
Why on Earth would we give
this woman that much power?
Oh, naive little Dr. Odyssey.
There are exactly
10.2 million reasons why.
Instagram followers.
Her company sponsors this Wellness Week.
And it's a very public, very big deal,
so we kind of have
a little balancing act here.
We do our jobs
while simultaneously tolerating
Bethany's wackadoodle quirks.
Last year, she tried to
get me to use corn ethanol
to power the ship.
Corn.
I tell you, this whole, uh,
"global warming" crap
is just so overblown.
Global warming is overblown?
Just this week, we'll re-routing around
a major tropical depression
off the coast of Baja.
Tell me, when have we ever
had tropical depressions
- in this time of year?
- Well, if the Earth's
getting so hot,
then you just explain to me
why there was 8 feet
of flipping snow last Christmas
in my hometown of Dowagiac, Michigan.
Rosie, I'm gonna tell you,
you're the best damn engineer
that a captain could ever ask for
and nobody knows
this Odyssey better than you,
but on this point, you're dead wrong.
I've been on the seas
for the better part of my life
and sailed every ocean
in every condition.
And I can tell ya,
from my experience, this isn't right.
These storms are stronger
and the hurricane seasons last
months longer than they used to.
But speaking of disasters,
it's time for the rest of you
fools to lose your clothing.
- Ah.
- Good.
- Who's still in?
- I'm out like Ellen.
- [LAUGHS]
- Ooh.
ALL: Ohh!
Rosie, you can smell that thing
in Buenaventura.
Uh, yeah. I'm out, Cap. You got me, too.
Fold, but
Well, joke's on you.
I'm an exhibitionist.
Ha ha ah! There he is!
Well, look, first I want to just say
thank you for inviting me
to the Boys and Butches card game.
And "Bi's."
Sorry. Boys, Butches, and Bi's.
And in that spirit of inclusion,
I would like to say
I'm in.
Really?
- Really.
- Okay.
Three cowboys.
- [GASPS]
- [WHISTLES]
- [INHALES SHARPLY]
- Ooh!
"How rude" is the catchphrase
of Stephanie Tanner
on my favorite sitcom
- Oh, no.
- Oh! Come on.
- Come on!
- "Full House."
[LAUGHTER]
Okay. [SIGHS]
- Oh.
- [LAUGHTER]
- Hey!
- Okay. There we go!
Why not the
The hat always stays on.
[LAUGHTER]
Well, that's game for me.
Remember this week, chins up.
We can navigate around any rough waters,
and we can navigate around the
peculiarities of Bethany Welles.
So no tropical depressions,
either atmospheric or emotional,
are gonna darken our days.
I forecast smiles
and smooth sailing and sunny skies!
Good night, y'all.
- Night, Cap.
- Night, Cap.

- Alright. Brace for impact.
- Brace!
So I got a letter yesterday, and, uh
Well, uh, I got it.
I got the scholarship.
- Yeah.
- That's amazing!
- Thank you!
- Oh, congratulations!
Thanks. Thanks.
You're gonna be a doctor.
You're going to med school.
You're leaving.
- Y-Yeah. Yeah. I guess so.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Man, I'm so happy for you.
- That's That's great.
- Thank you.
- That is great.
- Thank you so much.
Yeah.
- Hey. Should we
- Do you want to
Well, I just wanted to
check in and make sure
if you wanted to talk about
what happened, but
Uh, I mean, I don't have
to talk about what happened.
- Do you want to talk about what happened?
- Oh. No, no.
Then I No, no, no. I'm good.
If you're good, I'm good.
- We're great.
- Okay. We're good.

when you can just read
your patient's palm?
You both really think
Western medicine
has everything figured out?
Well, all I know
is that when I get sick,
I go to a doctor for some pills,
not a witch for some toadstools.

Taxus brevifolia.
A.k.a. the Pacific yew tree.
Its bark contains paclitaxel,

Oh. Ohh!
Everyone, I'd like you to meet
my dear, dear friend, Vivian Montgomery,
whom you may recognize
if you own a television.
That's right. Viv is a two-time winner
of "Red-Hot Chef,"
and she will be overseeing
our cuisine this week.
Oh, her liver carpaccio is to die for!
Personal chef to a bunch

- Um, Bethany, what's all this?
Oh, did I forget to tell you? Oops.
Might I wrangle the doctor
for just a squeak?
I just have some
tiny micro details to go over
just for pesky insurance purposes.
- Wrangle away.
- You're the best.
[CHUCKLES]
My lawyers, the nervous ninnies,
demanded a doctor sign off
on some of my cuisine choices.
You know, liability, yada yada yada.
You know, I've been
on this incredible diet
for the past six months
and I've never felt better.
Viv, tell him all about it!
It's organ meats, nature's multivitamin.
They're rich in iron, copper,
vitamins A, B.
Low in cholesterol and full of protein.
Here. Try it.
This is goat liver.
The flavor is smooth, delicate,
and it's easily digestible.
Are you asking me to eat that?
- Obviously.
- No. [CHUCKLES]
Raw meat is filled with
bacteria, pathogens, parasites.
- Why don't we cook it first?
- No You'll ruin it
That's the food of our ancestors.
You know, they didn't have
expensive flambé pans
or fancy polyurethane sous vide bags.
No, they took a raw bite,
they chewed, they swallowed,
and they thrived.
And they lived
to the ripe old age of 22.
You eat sushi, right?
What's the difference?
Come on, Doc. What are you afraid of?
I'll eat it.
Tristan. So nice of you to join us.
Sh Happy to help.

Wow. That looks
looks lovely.
- Thank you.
- Mmm.
See? Nothing to be afraid of.
I'm having Vivian
include a special course
with tonight's dinner
with your go-ahead, Doctor.
I don't see the harm. What say you, Doc?
Sure, but I want a member of my team
to oversee the food-prep process.
I don't want there to be
any cross-contamination.
Tristan, you seem to
have taken a keen interest.
Oh, yeah. Whatever you say.

[ALL CHEERING]
Now, organic ingredients
mixed properly
- this is nature's medicine.
- Hm.
So I put all the good stuff
in one powder DivaDust.
Now, this is my proprietary blend
of superfoods, minerals,
and pre- and probiotics.
Hm. What's in it? She won't tell me.
She never has.
[LAUGHTER]
Well, I can't tell you.
If I tell you that, my lawyers
will have you walk the gangplank.
I have a crazy legal team, as well. Hm.
What I can tell you is that this mixture
literally erased my son's dyslexia.
And for me, it cured a terrible
case of chronic hiccups.
[CHUCKLES]
Uh, you know, three years ago,
Judy came to me
and she said, "Eat my dust,"
in that very brash tone of hers.
Um, but I have to say,
I'm so glad that I did, really.
Because I start every morning
with a DivaDust smoothie.
And I know it's hard
to tell in this tunic,
but I'm quite thin.
So the proof is in the pudding,
as they say.
Yes. The proof is in the dust.
I have, along with DivaDust,
a couple of incredible ingredients
which are not even legal in the U.S.

It's a shame to see such
a young and promising woman
working for the enemy.
Hm. Big Pharma?
[SCOFFS]
The sickness industrial complex?
Doctors and nurses, like yourself,
have a vested interest
in keeping people sick.
True wellness comes from within,
not without.

that's fair at all, actually.
I-I swore an oath to help people
that I take very seriously.

Yeah. So is arsenic.
Bitter almonds contain amygdalin,
which breaks down into hydrogen cyanide
when ingested in high doses.

Tara powder.
How did you know what that was?
When I was working for
Doctors Without Borders in Peru,
we would get cases of kids
who were accidentally eating
the seed pods from the tara tree,
which is toxic to the liver,
and they also bind to proteins,
making it impossible
for the body to absorb them.
- She'll be fine in a few days.
- Explains why people who drink
the smoothies feel full
but still lose weight.
They're developing malnutrition. Nice.
- Hey, gents.
- Captain.

When we absolutely have to,
I'll give warning
and we'll make a hard 90-degree turn,
thrust through the wave
and into the next trough,
which should buy us
a couple more minutes.
So instead of steady rocking,
we'll have moments of calm
followed by "Whoa, mama,
hang on to your hat!"
