00:42Elaine Denton reporting live from port when inside the offices of doc martin
00:49Victim whatever that is we don't have time for it, okay?
00:52We have a packed schedule and I need you to secure the perimeter unaware that his first patient was already
00:58in the exam room
00:59Doc martin was apparently also unaware of the fact that this weekend is the annual blueberry festival
01:07A tragic turn of events for a tragic man named doc martin who was a doctor
01:20I just love the blueberry festival the street fair the tarts the pies stop talking and open your mouth
01:28I'm gonna be getting in the vat and stomping blueberries to make wine not with this foot fungus. You're not
01:34I'm deathly allergic to blueberries, but I want to eat like a lot of pie

01:40Yes, of course really
01:42No
01:43That way
01:45All right elaine we only have five minutes for lunch. Why don't you go out and get where is everyone?
01:51Faced with an empty waiting room doc martin finally had room
01:55To feel empty will you stop with that voice have to get this reporter thing right?
02:00I'm covering the blueberry festival on my live stream. I want it to look professional and dressing up as newscaster
02:05smurf screams professional
02:07We have eight patients this afternoon and my aunt's supposed to be next. Where is she?
02:12Yeah, everybody cancelled
02:14No one is going to the doctor on a friday afternoon during the blueberry festival
02:19Actually shouldn't you be getting ready to ready for what you're gonna be a judge in the big blueberry pie
02:23contest tomorrow
02:24Oh, no, I'm not. Okay, but you are because dr. Reese was always a judge. Yeah, but I'm not dr.
02:29Reese
02:29I am here with a local old old man who is disoriented and confused
02:36He thinks that he can ignore one of our most beloved traditions beloved traditions
02:40Please you people would throw a parade at a new stoplight. I'm not a pie judge. I'm a physician. Where
02:46are you going?
02:47I'm going to see my next scheduled patient more on this developing story as it develops reporting alive from over

03:55shoo
04:02Well
04:03Good morning to you
04:04Good morning perfect weather for the festival wouldn't you say hmm?
04:10Well, you seem to be taking it very seriously
04:13My favorite time of year when doesn't all that bother your skin or your eyelids all that face paint face
04:18paint
04:20What face paint
04:29What happened to you?
04:51This is great for you.
05:02Well, Martin, what a nice surprise.
05:06And you're just in time for lunch.
05:08Not here for lunch.
05:09Oh, you're just dropping by.
05:10Well, good.
05:12I've just been thinking that we should spend more time together.
05:14And look, now here you are.
05:16I've come here to give you your physical.
05:19What?
05:19Your file says you haven't had a checkup in three years.
05:22Why don't you hop up on the counter and we'll take a look at you.
05:24Oh, you gotta be joking.
05:26There's nothing funny about a 73-year-old woman avoiding her annual urinalysis.
05:30Now, up you go.
05:30If you think I'm going to let you examine me in my own kitchen,
05:34then I'm going to have to fillet you with my boning knife.
05:37And so I need you to take this seriously.
05:39You may be my doctor, but you're also my nephew,
05:42and right now we're having lunch.
05:44So wash your hands.
05:47Honestly.
05:50You know, they've asked me to be a judge at the pie contest with you,
05:55and I said yes.
05:57I thought that that would be fun.
06:00I hear that Elizabeth Evans is making some kind of blueberry meringue or something like that.
06:09Are you really taking all these medications?
06:11Well, two of them are for my high blood pressure, and the rest are, I don't know.
06:14Yeah. Osteoporosis, acid reflux, high cholesterol.
06:18Good God, woman.
06:19You're a ticking time bomb.
06:21And this fried fish for lunch isn't helping the situation either.
06:25Have you thought about getting some exercise, maybe some leafy greens in your diet?
06:28Dr. Reese told me to avoid the leafy greens because they might interact badly with my blood thinner,
06:34and I might pass out or something.
06:36And kale tastes like crap.
06:38There's a new medication on the market that won't have those complications.
06:40I'll write you a prescription.
06:42In the meantime, we're going to have a chat about skipping medical appointments at your advanced age.
06:46If you're going to continue to play doctor, I don't want to eat lunch with you.
06:49So get out, just go, and see at the pie contest.
06:53I'm not judging the pie contest.
06:55Fine, then I won't see you at all.
07:01Fried fish is delicious.
07:19Oh, Judge Martin, what do you prefer?
07:22Blakey pie crust or puffy?
07:24You lost me at Judge.
07:25Judge Martin, do you enjoy a latticework topping?
07:29I don't trust myself to do a leaf pattern.
07:32I'm not judging the pie contest.
07:33Oh, Martin, hello.
07:35Where are you headed?
07:36Well, I'm on my way for some lunch, but it seems like blueberry mania swallowed this town whole.
07:41Right, well, that time of year.
07:42Which reminds me, I've been wondering, um, if you happen to like cinnamon?
07:46I'm scared to ask, but why are we talking about spices?
07:48Or maybe vanilla, or caramel.
07:50Little ribbons of caramel wrapping gently around your taste buds.
07:53Oh, no, Louisa, not you, too.
07:55I'm sorry, I'm not going to be judging the pie contest.
07:57I guess I'm just another desperate pie baker looking for an edge.
08:00You've all lost your minds.
08:01Maybe, but this is a big deal in a small town.
08:03I mean, it's nice, it's tradition, it's competitive.
08:06Yeah, it's also high in fat and sugar.
08:08Yeah, but first place is a little blue crown.
08:10But Barry Hammers always wins it, always.
08:12He always takes first, always.
08:13No, the real competition in Port-Win is for second.
08:15Oh, wait.
08:17What about ginger, you know?
08:18I mean, that's an interesting combination, right?
08:21With the blueberries?
08:22No, Louisa, Louisa, Louisa, I am not going to be judging them.
08:25Judge Martin, did these berries refresh you?
08:26Am I ready to see if I had meant to my pie?
08:27No, no, no, listen up, everyone.
08:29I am the town doctor, and my only concern is your health.
08:32So you can skip your appointments and ignore your well-being,
08:35but I will not be deciding the winner of your ridiculous contest,
08:39because I don't care.
08:48Consider the ginger.
08:51Talk about it later.
08:58I'm delighted to have you in for lunch, doctor.
09:00It was either this or be force-fed blueberries in the parking lot.
09:03I want to take the garden salad with chicken, please.
09:06Unfortunately, we don't have the garden salad today.
09:08I am so sorry.
09:10All right.
09:10Uh, steam fish.
09:11No, not that either.
09:13Shepherd's pie, then.
09:14Mmm, wouldn't that be lovely?
09:15We're out of that one, too.
09:16What do you have in the kitchen?
09:24Today, in the kitchen, we have Greg.
09:29It's this pie contest madness.
09:31Oh, no.
09:31Oh, no.
09:32Every year, he decides that he's the chef, that he can cook.
09:35And yet...
09:36No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
09:38I chilled this dough!
09:39I swear I did!
09:41It's not fair!
09:43I'm not allowed in there.
09:45I'm a pie contest judge.
09:46Conflict of interest.
09:48And yes, I heard that you stepped down from your post.
09:50God knows who they're going to get to replace you.
09:53It's going to be a long weekend.
09:56But we still might have one last tuna salad in the back fridge.
10:00I hate mayonnaise.
10:01Oh, beggars can't be cheesers.
10:03I'll go check.
10:07Tuna salad is delicious.
10:09Lots of mayonnaise.
10:19I'm sorry.
10:20I...
10:20You...
10:22I have to ask.
10:25You're blue.
10:27All of you.
10:28And no makeup.
10:29You're just...
10:30Blue.
10:32It's because of all the blueberries I eat.
10:34Are you joking?
10:39You're not.
10:40Oh, no, you can't be serious.
10:42Blueberries wouldn't...
10:47Y'all, that's on me, y'all.
10:49I'm so sorry.
10:50Totally...
10:50Totally my fault.
10:51I just couldn't see it because of my eyes.
10:54Let's have a look.
10:55Doc.
10:55Touch your head back.
10:56Okay.
10:56I think everything's fine.
10:57It's just allergies.
10:58Happens every year.
10:59Yeah, how about you let me make the diagnosis and you stick to being an idiot?
11:02Seems fair.
11:03All right, you need to come to my office.
11:04I can't, Doc.
11:05I gotta go set up the dunk tank.
11:06Yes, I suppose a dunk tank is more important than you going blind.
11:09Come on, this way.
11:10Okay.
11:13No, this way.
11:15The other way, Mark.
11:16This way.
11:19Ha!
11:20Ha-ha.
11:22Yes.
11:26It's ready.
11:27Okay, that's good.
11:28So just, like, keep my face in frame all the time.
11:31Yes.
11:31Like, I'll stay, but...
11:32Is it like a day?
11:34Go, go, shoot.
11:36You know they replaced you on the judging panel with birth.
11:39Ooh, big mistake.
11:39You do not want to give my dad that much power.
11:42Power?
11:42It's a pie contest.
11:44Oh, come on, Doc.
11:46You know how everything here is just so nice and people are so sweet?
11:49We just need one day a year to be, like, really competitive and vicious.
11:53Like the purge, but with blueberries.
11:56All right.
11:56Well, the eye drops and the warm compress should help your eyes some, but I strongly suspect
12:01you have Reiter's Syndrome.
12:02Really?
12:03Mm-hmm.
12:03I haven't written anything all week.
12:05Maybe a parking ticket and in my dream journal.
12:08R-E- Reiter's Syndrome.
12:10Is it painful to urinate, Mark?
12:13Typically, people suffering from Reiter's can't see, can't pee, and can't climb a tree
12:17due to untreated chlamydia.
12:19Chlamydia.
12:20Chlamydia.
12:21The STD chlamydia?
12:23Yes.
12:24How many sexual partners have you had since your breakup with Louisa?
12:28I don't know.
12:29Like, four, five, eight, I think nine.
12:36My friend Gretchen?
12:38Ten.
12:38Debbie?
12:39Eleven.
12:42Doc!
12:43Come on, Doc.
12:44You know what it's like.
12:45Big man, small pond.
12:47All the fish jumping into my net.
12:50You get it?
12:51Yeah, I'd rather not.
12:52So you need to notify each of your sexual partners of their exposure.
12:56Wait, Doc, notify them.
12:58Like, tell them that I might have given them that they might have chlamydia.
13:02Exactly.
13:03And this will clear up the infection.
13:05Prescription for doxycycline.
13:06Wait, no, wait, Doc, Doc, wait.
13:08So, like, a prescription that I need to, like, go get filled?
13:13Yes.
13:13I assume you know how these things work.
13:15Elaine, I'm going out to get some food, and nothing is going to stop me.
13:21Okay.
13:21I guess I have to.
13:22Somebody's got to pick up meds from their mommy.
13:24Shut up, Al.
13:45Yes, sir.
13:47That's Barry Hammers.
13:49That's our blueberry.
13:51Get it?
13:52Blueberry?
13:52Yes, sir, coffee, Judge Large.
13:55No charge, of course.
13:57And he's the one who wins first place in the pie contest every year?
14:00Him?
14:00Yeah.
14:01He's basically the blueberry festival mascot.
14:04A master baker.
14:05And he's blue.
14:06That's because year in, year out, all he eats is...
14:08No, that's ridiculous.
14:09You could eat every blueberry on the planet.
14:11It wouldn't turn you blue.
14:11You know, I turned orange when I was on that carrot diet.
14:14It's not the same thing, Bert.
14:15Tell that to blueberry.
14:16Judge Large, almost done with your complimentary oil change.
14:20Ah, thanks, Billy.
14:21And hey, tell the missus I'd love to get my backyard weeded.
14:25No, there must be something wrong with him.
14:27Some condition.
14:27And he's using a...
14:29Leave him alone, Doc.
14:30Poor old blueberry.
14:32He was a hell of a lot better now than when we were in high school.
14:35Scary berry.
14:37He was a real fright back then.
14:38Scary berry?
14:39Why did they call him that?
14:41Well, hey, Bert, your car's all done.
14:44Excuse me.
14:45Bye business.
14:48Hey, Billy, how's the bacon coming?
14:51You know, is the bottom still soggy?
14:56Oh, Martin, hi.
14:58I've been looking for you.
14:59I just wanted to apologize for being so forward about the pie contest earlier.
15:02I just think that maybe my ambition got the best of me.
15:05Why is this contest so important to you?
15:07Oh, well, um, I've always loved to bake.
15:11And in the past, I couldn't really try my best
15:14because I couldn't outshine Sally, my future mother-in-law.
15:17Former future mother-in-law.
15:19I always had to wallow in third place
15:21and let her take second year after year.
15:23But now, the gloves are off.
15:25You know, I'm not with Mark anymore
15:27and I've got a brand new baking trick up my sleeve.
15:30And I don't know, I just feel like maybe
15:32if I could just bust out of third place
15:33that maybe I could get everyone to see me in a new light.
15:36You know how small towns can put you in a box,
15:38give you a label?
15:39You're the spinster.
15:40You're the idiot.
15:41You're the grump.
15:42Hi, Judge.
15:43Exactly.
15:47And you?
15:48You're the...
15:51Heartbreaker.
15:57Well, it does seem like a colossal waste
16:00of time, energy, and food,
16:02but I suppose these little contests
16:04do help to distract people
16:06from the dreary realities of living in a dead-end town.
16:09Hmm.
16:11Well, thank you for that.
16:12Um, but this contest actually really means something to me.
16:17You know, especially this year
16:18when, uh, when I'm trying to prove to myself,
16:21actually, that I can-can be more than I thought I could.
16:32Now, listen, John, I let you off the hook last week twice
16:36because you were filling mailboxes with fish heads.
16:38All right?
16:38No!
16:39So you're gonna do this for me, okay?
16:41Here.
16:41Dude!
16:42This is crazy.
16:44Your name's on the prescription.
16:46The pharmacist is your mom.
16:47Okay, but she's really busy, and she may not notice, okay?
16:50Here, come on.
16:51Give you my handcuffs.
16:52I'm just gonna do it.
16:56Your eyes look super grody.
16:57Shut up, Johnny.
16:59Uh-huh.
17:01Yeah.
17:02You little baby bike.
17:05Sally.
17:06What's supposed to go right here?
17:09Oh, what's for my next trophy, of course.
17:12Oh, but you're a judge this year.
17:13We should not be talking about the pie contest.
17:15Okay, here.
17:16Let me ring you up.
17:19With a new prescription, that is $127.90.
17:23What?
17:25$127 a month?
17:27What the hell?
17:28Well, it's this new blood thinner that Dr. Best puts you on.
17:30It's very pricey.
17:32No, no, no.
17:33I'll just stick to the old one.
17:34I'm not paying that.
17:35Well, you do have one refill left.
17:37Should I call Dr. Best to make sure it's okay?
17:39No, no.
17:40I'm keeping him out of my personal health issues from now on.
17:44He comes to lunch and brings a stethoscope.
17:46Ooh, is it cold on your skin?
17:48I bet Dr. Best has very warm hands.
17:51Sally.
17:52He's my nephew.
17:54All right.
17:56$21.45, then.
17:58Okay.
17:58Oh, hi, honey.
18:00What brings you in?
18:02Oh, hey.
18:02Hey, ma.
18:04I can't really talk right now.
18:05I have this developing crime situation down on Lincoln.
18:07I just need to fill this prescript real fast.
18:10No biggie.
18:11No diggity.
18:15Did Louisa do this to you?
18:17No, mom, stop.
18:18What is it?
18:18No.
18:19Gonorrhea?
18:20Syphilis?
18:20The big H?
18:21The little a?
18:22No, no.
18:23It has nothing like that.
18:25And Louisa has nothing to do with it.
18:29It's...
18:34It's chlamydia.
18:35Chlamydia?
18:36Well, that's not so bad.
18:38Everybody's had chlamydia, sweetheart.
18:40At least it's not the crabs.
18:42Crabs are so much worse.
18:44Looking down and seeing those little monsters snapping at you.
18:47Who gave this to you?
18:48Was it that Gretchen?
18:50Elaine's friend?
18:50The one with the face?
18:52They all have faces.
18:53Oh, yeah.
18:53Sounds right.
18:54She's awful.
18:55No.
18:56I don't know.
18:57I don't know.
18:57Honey, relax.
19:00You're a single man now.
19:01Something like this was bound to happen.
19:04I'm actually proud of you.
19:06Sewing your wild oats.
19:08And until this antibiotic kicks in,
19:10a good place to dip your doinker for a few minutes every night
19:13is a nice cold glass of 7-Up.
19:16Mom, stop.
19:18Really?
19:19Yeah, honey.
19:21Something about the bubbles.
19:53You're not supposed to be here.
19:54I'm still getting ready for tomorrow.
19:56I'm so sorry.
19:57Should I come back at a better time?
19:58Yeah, actually.
19:59This is a mess.
20:01Al can't be my cameraman anymore.
20:02He has to run the dunk tank tomorrow at the street fair.
20:05What are you doing here?
20:07I'm looking to see if Dr. Reese ever treated Barry Hammers.
20:11I need to understand why that man is blue.
20:14Something could actually be wrong with him.
20:15A whole half day off and you can't stop doctoring.
20:18I'm not going to find any files on there for Barry Hammers.
20:20I'm not?
20:21Blueberry?
20:22He was never a patient here.
20:23Like, ever.
20:24Someone actually told me.
20:26Was it Irma?
20:27I think it was Irma.
20:28Was it Irma?
20:29I don't know if it was Irma specifically.
20:31Irregard-
20:31Told you what?
20:32Irma says that Blueberry had some kind of horrible medical condition
20:37when he was in high school.
20:38He had to be seen by some specialist in Bar Harbor.
20:41A specialist?
20:41Yeah.
20:41Okay, listen, listen.
20:43You're going to be my cameraman tomorrow at the festival.
20:46Oh, I most certainly will not be doing that.
20:49Al is out.
20:50You're the only option that I have left.
20:52And I'm covering the festival from 9 a.m. to midnight tomorrow.
20:54So please wear some comfortable shoes.
20:56Not these.
20:58For the last time, I will not be attending or participating in this godforsaken festival.
21:07What?
21:08What?
21:09What is this look?
21:12No, I just, I would just like to remind you that there are certain things that I'm doing.
21:20Certain blood things that I am doing for you.
21:25Things that I may not want to do, but that I do anyway.
21:28So, maybe you could do something for me that you don't want to do.
21:36This is blackmail.
21:38You are blackmailing me.
21:41And remember, this is the good side of my face.
21:49Doc Martin and Elaine's office, how can I help you today?
21:54Oh, yes.
21:55Okay, yes.
21:58The doctor is needed at the Salty Breeze.
22:00Somebody has burned their hand.
22:04And I will see you tomorrow at the Blueberry Festival at 9 a.m.
22:09Live from Port Wynn.
22:11Have a safe evening.
22:14And good night.
22:16He's been baking around the clock.
22:18Not sleeping.
22:19Not being careful.
22:20It'll be fine.
22:21But what isn't fine is people getting injured because of a pie contest.
22:27No, you can't wrap it up too much.
22:28I need my hand all day tomorrow.
22:30I have to bake.
22:31Do you hear what you're saying?
22:32I have to bake.
22:33You're having a nervous breakdown over a pie contest.
22:35I have to bake.
22:36Greg, honey, this pie contest is giving you an anxiety attack.
22:40But won't it be worth it if I win?
22:42No.
22:43All year long, all I hear about is George's lobster rolls and George's chowder.
22:48People just see me as the money guy.
22:50Some silent partner.
22:52George's less creative other half.
22:55But I'm more than that.
22:56Can't you just give him a sedative?
22:58Everyone in this town needs a sedative.
23:00I can't win the pie contest.
23:04Barry will win.
23:05Barry always wins.
23:08But for once, I'd like to just place second, third, honorable mention, tardist filling.
23:14It would prove that I can make things too, that I'm good with my hands.
23:18Just not this hand.
23:20I know.
23:21I should be happy for all of Barry's success.
23:25Irma told me what a troubled youth he had.
23:27Wait, what do you mean by that?
23:28Just how he rose above all his medical issues to become this local legend.
23:33I was a troubled teen, too.
23:35In high school, the football team locked me in the janitor's closet after I highlighted my hair.
23:42Where's my prize?
23:43So you're saying Barry was sick as a kid?
23:45Terrible illness?
23:46It's just acne.
23:47Horrible acne.
23:48Apparently awful.
23:50Disfiguring.
23:50Irma went to the prom with Scary Barry.
23:53So he had bad skin?
23:55And my mother disowned me.
23:56Maybe I should write that in berries across the top of my pie.
24:00Greg, honey, hey, look at me.
24:03Look at me.
24:03Look that way.
24:05I love you so much.
24:07But this is not worth it.
24:09Year after year, you whip yourself up into a lather over a blueberry.

34:08just a sprinkle of powdered msg
34:14my mother always said it made the blueberries pop and anyways nothing i was like barely nothing there
34:21monosodium glutamate would only cause a slight increase in heart rate

34:32sally milo i'm afraid we have to eliminate you from the competition

35:03blueberries blueberry pie i can guarantee you that the ingredients in my pie are as always
35:08100 percent organic and homegrown did you grow your ingredients yourself yes and do you use
35:13any fertilizers or pesticides how dare you even ask me that do you even know what organic
35:19means are we gonna really let this outsider come into our town and question me blueberry the
35:26blueberry festival mascot excuse me i was merely asking i am merely telling you that i was guaranteed
35:34my pie's ingredients were 100 certified organic
35:41wait you were guaranteed by whom by me i guarantee me you bought that pie didn't you no no of
35:51course not
35:52i don't care if that pie came from your kitchen or the dumpster behind the salty breeze i only care
35:56about my aunt's life now do you or do you not know what's in that pie i don't know i
36:02bought it
36:05online but there was nothing unusual in it i i swear to you i swear i wish i could describe
36:12the
36:12feeling in the room right now it is electric you're blueberry because of all the blueberries you eat
36:19because year in and year out around the clock you're baking blueberry pies i don't even know how to cook
36:27oh my gosh and it's not from blueberries bert he's been using colloidal silver for what 40 years
36:34you saw that dermatologist when you were a teenager and he prescribed it for your chronic acne right
36:39but he was only supposed to use the lotion for two months not decades and he turned himself blue which
36:45is a long-term side effect of overuse you have to stop using it i liked being blue it became
36:52my identity
36:54gave me a place in this town that wasn't the freak anymore that was a
37:03mascot at least i made my pie if i melt salty oh my god it is moments like these that
37:11remind us
37:12why we are alive and why we bake pies and what about you louisa what's in yours oh uh nothing
37:19i mean i
37:19mean nothing that could hurt her but didn't you say you had a new baking trick up your sleeve what
37:23was
37:23it i i soaked the blueberries in spinach water for 24 hours before baking i read about an old french
37:28cookbook it's supposed to keep the berries sweet but i promised i grew the spinach myself and i
37:31didn't break any rules i never break any rules well fresh blueberries and cold water will dissolve a
37:35massive amount of calcium and oxalate from fresh spinach and her old blood thinners would have
37:39reacted negatively but i switched her to a new medication so that didn't take the new medication
37:43because it was too expensive she's still on the old blood thinner i knew we should have called you
37:48the ambulance is almost here it's the spinach oh no she needs a shot of heparin she's gonna be okay
37:54let's just sit her up i'm glad she's gonna be okay but i can't over here just over here i
37:59just can't
38:00believe that i won the i actually won well i guess you'll be making my favorites all month fried chicken
38:10and mac and cheese and that al stop talking what gregory denise garrison did you just tell birth that we
38:17would more i would make his favorite meals if you won the pie contest oh wait wait it's not over
38:21yet folks
