Doctor Odyssey

You had no right to say that to me.

I had made it very clear what I wanted and what I did not want.

When I said how I feel, that is not intended to try to block you.

I do not love you, Max Bankman.

Whatever it is going on between the two of you, it's not nothing.

Max told me that he loved me.

7.9-magnitude earthquake approximately 300 miles off the coast.

Tsunami siren.

We're gonna go back and get Max.

In the meantime, you're chief medical officer.

Anyone else with medical training?

I'm a midwife.

I'm a doctor... of psychiatry.

Max, we have a passenger who has a shard of glass

obstructing his pulmonary artery.

Max?

-Gnarly video. -I'm on my 20th rewatch.

I wish Max were here.

Well, I'm sure Max is fine.

And you will be too. You've got this.

Yeah, but... do you?

You look terrible, Tristan.

Are you hungover?

I had a few last night, yes, but I needed to de-stress.

-Because of me? -No. I promise.

Okay, well,

we should get you some IV fluids and some Zofran.

Avery, I said, I'm fine.

No, you're not. You're not fine. You need help.

And I wish that I could be there for you right now, but I can't.

We have too many patients for you to be out of commission.

And now I need to find someone else to help me do this procedure.

Good news. No sign of infection or active bleeding.

I'll check back in a few hours.

Hi, I'm Avery, the nurse practitioner.

-Are you the psychiatrist? -Caught me. Matt.

Did you do a surgical rotation during medical school?

Yes. Worst two months of my life.

The sight of blood makes me dry heave.

-Why? -Um...

I need help with an endovascular procedure.

I'll do it.

It's a fluoro-guided catheterization. There will be blood, lots of blood.

My fiancee, Barry, was part of the hiking excursion.

He hasn't made it back yet, and I still haven't heard from him.

I'd like to stay busy.

You're approximately two millimeters from the glass shard.

I see it. I'm trying the proximal grab technique.

Damn, the shard moved.

Okay. I'm gonna inflate this Coda balloon...

into the right common iliac vein to prevent re-embolization.

And then, try to snag it from there.

Bridge.

Captain.

-How's our patient? -The surgery went smoothly.

We removed the shard that was obstructing their artery.

He should make a good recovery.

-Anything? -Nothing from Max.

But that doesn't mean that you need to assume the worst.

This wave will have wreaked havoc on the repeaters and base stations, and...

all up and down this coastline, so a comms blackout is to be expected.

Listen, we're scanning all bands and all frequencies.

The moment that I hear that baritone voice crackle through my radio,

you'll know.

Thank you, Captain.

Cap.

That was corporate again.

Lenore. She needs you to call her.

Yeah, well, she's gonna have to wait

until we're through this post-seismic surge condition.

What's going on?

What's going on is that I'm being asked

to leave hundreds of people in my rearview.

And one of them happens to be my doctor.

Corporate doesn't want you to go to shore, but you're disobeying them.

I'm choosing a direction.

Peanut?

Hey, boy.

Oh, my God. Max.

Oh, thank goodness, you're okay.

Oh, God.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Man, am I happy to see you. - What happened?

Aftershock, I think.

Hey. Looks like you took a bump on the head.

Oh, no, it's just a little noggin, no big deal.

I'm fine.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- This is Dr. Max Bankman from The Odyssey.

Is anybody there?

'Scuse me! Does anybody work here?

Service, please! Ding ding!

-Oh. Finally, I've been out here forever. -Oh, I'm sorry about that.

-What seems to be the problem? -Worst indigestion of my life.

I need antacids, pronto.

And how long have you been feeling this way?

I can examine you.

Oh. I'm sure you would, pretty boy, but I know why I'm sick.

It's because this five star cruise has turned into a FEMA food bank.

Lunch yesterday was cold cuts.

The only cold food I like is shrimp cocktail,

which you all have stopped serving because of all these freeloaders.

I need antacids.

I would really advise if you just come over to have a medical check.

Okay, if that's a come on,

-I'm not interested. -Oh, no.

I'm supposed to be here for my wedding, and that went bust.

I already dumped one loser. I'm not gonna get involved with another.

I was not hitting on you, ma'am.

I mean, anything I can do with a man,

I can do without one, including this cruise.

I'm not arguing. I was simply advising. I'm a medical worker.

Antacids now.

Antacids. Coming right up.

Avery.

-Avery. -Maybe I can try it later.

Hi, I'm a doctor. I can help.

- I like the dusty rose, but... - Mm-hmm. But?

-Not the deckled edge. -Exactly.

Hi, how are we doing in here? Where's your pain level at, Julie?

Right now, it's not so bad. Table cloth samples are my morphine.

- We're just eager to get back to work.

Well, you do have a femoral neck fracture,

and broken ribs that caused a collapsed lung

and a concussion, so...

getting back on your feet will require some time off them.

Like how much time off?

I'd venture to say about 12 weeks at least before you return to work.

Take this as a second honeymoon.

I mean, you guys do so much for other couples,

and now it's your turn to spend some quality time with each other.

Okay.

Your lungs are clear.

Your heart rate and blood pressure have stabilized.

How do we know there aren't any shards stuck hiding in there?

The post-op scans were clear,

but we can keep a close eye on his vitals and exams.

Hey, I know this has been really scary.

But Marcus is gonna be okay.

I just...

Ry, this is not your fault... at all.

It's your mom's.

Who marries someone dumb enough to run around during a tsunami?

Absolutely, completely on me. I think we can all agree on that.

I would've felt so bad if the last thing I said to you was,

"You don't know anything, I hate you."

I don't.

I know.

You all right?

No.

I'm not all right.

Why not?

We're just pulling into port. It is time to divide and conquer.

Yep, that's right.

Someone should stay on the ship and keep an eye on the patients,

-and the other-- -Should be you.

Go. I can handle things here.

Um...

Are you sure that you're feeling okay?

Totally fine.

My body's hydrated, my head's in the game. I'm good.

You need to go. Lead the response team.

When you find Max, tell him we're all glad he's okay.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Understood loud and clear.

Sir.

Seabed is unstable from the quake.

Should we hold position with thrusters and burn fuel,

or drop a second anchor and lose an hour?

You make the call.

I have been temporarily relieved of duty until we return to our port of call.

So for now, you're in charge of this ship. Make the call.

-Cap, they can't do that. -Relax.

They can't get rid of me. I'm older than the sea and twice as mean.

In the meantime... ...you're in charge of this ship.

I'm gonna see what it feels like to get a little sea breeze through my hair

while I still have some.

Good luck, Captain.

Hold with thrusters until Avery and the response team get off the ship.

Then drop a second anchor.

-I don't want to lose any time. -Yes, Captain.

Hey, those meds you gave me are garbage.

My stomach is killing me even worse than before.

I'm sorry that you're so uncomfortable, ma'am.

If you allow me to give you a proper workup, I'll be able to--

-I don't need a workup... -Okay.

...I need stronger drugs.

-I think I just peed. -I don't think that's urine.

I think your water just broke.

No, I can't. I'm not... I'm not pregnant.

It appears that you are. And you're about to give birth.

I'm nervous. You nervous?

If I know Max, they're gonna be okay.

Tell me more about this Max guy.

His name seems to come up a lot.

Uh... He's a doctor, I'm a nurse.

That's the full extent of your relationship?

Every time you say his name, it seems to be fraught with something.

-It's a long story. -Well, it's a long walk.
