00:00:00But it would hurt my feelings if you delivered my first grandson without me.
00:00:05I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:00:07And I'm counting on you.
00:00:09Keep good thoughts.
00:00:11Good baby.
00:00:12We'll see you in a few weeks, mother.
00:00:14All right, Peter Watson, you drive slowly and easily.
00:00:18And avoid the ruts in the bus.
00:00:21Annie and my grandson do not need to be jostled around like a sack of potatoes.
00:00:26Yes, ma'am.
00:00:30I got it for you, Joe.
00:00:31Yes, sir!
00:00:33Step up!
00:01:00It just feels awful sometimes.
00:01:15What exactly are you feeling?
00:01:17I don't mean to complain, doctor, but I'm just plumb wore out.
00:01:21Sometimes I can barely keep my head up.
00:01:23And when did you start feeling this way?
00:01:25When I had my youngest.
00:01:27About five months ago.
00:01:32Open your mouth, please.
00:01:39It becomes a very pale label.
00:01:41You haven't noticed when you look in the mirror?
00:01:43I'm not sure I know what they're supposed to look like.
00:01:45Well, I think you have anemia, which means you don't have enough iron in your body.
00:01:49It's common with new mothers.
00:01:51When the baby was inside of you, he took most of your iron.
00:01:54So it's nothing serious then.
00:01:56Very serious.
00:01:57What took you so long to come to me?
00:01:59Well, you see, my husband doesn't think I'm really sick.
00:02:02He says I'm just lazy.
00:02:04You take care of six children and a husband while you work harder than he does.
00:02:07Lloyd's a good man, Doc Owens. Really, he is.
00:02:10He just don't trust doctors.
00:02:12Not since his sister died.
00:02:15Is there a tonic I can take for this anemia?
00:02:17There is a tonic, but eating vegetables would be much more effective.
00:02:20Lloyd doesn't really like all those vegetables.
00:02:23He prefers his meat and potatoes.
00:02:33Take two spoonfuls twice a day and come and see me in a week.
00:02:38It's very important that my coming to see you is kept private.
00:02:41What goes on between a doctor and a patient is always very private.
00:02:54Hello, Lee.
00:02:56Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:58Leaving that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:00I'm just trying to wear him down for the ride home.
00:03:03You're here early, you're here late.
00:03:06Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going.
00:03:08Aren't you expecting company?
00:03:10My wife's best friend from medical school.
00:03:12She should get here any day now.
00:03:14I was referring to that apprentice of yours.
00:03:16He should be here on Thursday's stage.
00:03:18I'll leave you to your work, Lee.
00:03:20Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:22Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:27All finished?
00:03:29It'll be two dollars for the doctor and fifty cents for the medicine.
00:03:44I'm sorry, your husband doesn't allow me any extra money.
00:03:47I have to use the sock money I've saved up.
00:03:50Why don't we just call it a dollar even?
00:03:54That's very kind of you to mention it, Mrs. McQuaid.
00:04:08All right, pal.
00:04:11Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:14Hey.
00:04:18I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:24Here he comes.
00:04:26Easy.
00:04:32Settle down now.
00:04:34Easy now.
00:04:38I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:42Come on.
00:04:55Aunt Annie's here.
00:04:59Aunt Annie!
00:05:01Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:05She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:07Sure, she looks very round.
00:05:10I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:12Oh, let me get that.
00:05:13Oh, it's fine.
00:05:15Everyone treats me like a china doll. I'm not going to break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:21Me too.
00:05:24I can't tell you how much I appreciate you looking after Annie while I'm away.
00:05:27I didn't want to take a surveying job this close to her having a baby, but we need the money.
00:05:33I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:35Put your mind at ease, Pete. We're happy to have her.
00:05:37My mother would have stayed with Annie.
00:05:39But I wanted to come visit my best friend and her family before the baby comes.
00:05:43And we're so glad you did.
00:05:45How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:47Broken bones and bee stings. Anything a nursing student could handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you again, Annie.
00:05:52The town loves Ma. They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:54Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:59Well, how about I start cleaning and leave?
00:06:01You'll help me get settled in for the night?
00:06:10Hi, Sal.
00:06:12It's good having Annie here.
00:06:14It is.
00:06:16She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:18I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:20Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:23I'm right here.
00:06:25Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:27I'm just tired.
00:06:29Are you sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:33I don't know.
00:06:35I'm just tired.
00:06:37Are you sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:40What's wrong?
00:06:42I'm not pregnant.
00:06:44Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:46We've tried for so long.
00:06:48We have more than we can handle with Lill.
00:06:50Oh, I know, but...
00:06:54It's just that when Annie found out the news,
00:06:56it made me want a baby of our own even more.
00:07:02Now that she's staying with us...
00:07:04No.
00:07:08We are going to have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:12All good things come in God's time.
00:07:16Maybe we should just let Him decide.
00:07:18What if He doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:29Hey.
00:07:31Come on.
00:07:33Let's go help Lill finish the dishes.
00:07:35Hmm?
00:07:47I guess I'd best be leaving now.
00:07:50Peter, please be careful.
00:07:52Yes.
00:07:54My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:56I love you.
00:07:58I love you too.
00:08:03Bye, ladies.
00:08:05Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:08Step up.
00:08:17Boy, are you all right?
00:08:19I don't know.
00:08:21Ha!
00:08:23Oh, no!
00:08:25No!
00:08:27Oh, please!
00:08:30Oh!
00:08:32PJ!
00:08:36Well, great time, isn't it?
00:08:38Get your bags.
00:08:40Check on the team, Ike.
00:08:42Welcome home, darling.
00:08:44Oh, thank you.
00:08:56You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:09:00Welcome to Saxon.
00:09:02How was your trip?
00:09:04Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:09:06Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:09:08Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:10Yes, sir.
00:09:12Well, Saxon's a nice little town.
00:09:14I hope you like it.
00:09:16I expect so.
00:09:18Can I help you with your things?
00:09:20I don't have much.
00:09:22All right.
00:09:24Come on, let me show you the shop.
00:09:26Sounds good.
00:09:28Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:32Now, when your blows are even
00:09:34and you can work a straight piece of metal,
00:09:36those will be your tools.
00:09:38It's hard work, but you managed to make something
00:09:40that'll last a generation or two.
00:09:42You know, it gives you a sense of pride.
00:09:44I reckon that's true.
00:09:46What do you say?
00:09:48You ready to get started?
00:09:50Yes, sir.
00:09:52All right, then.
00:09:58How was your walk?
00:10:00Carrying around a 30-pound sack of flour?
00:10:02Slow day?
00:10:04Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time
00:10:06before someone comes in
00:10:08from getting caught on a rusty nail
00:10:10or falling off a ladder.
00:10:12You know, when I was traveling through Salina last month,
00:10:14there was a rash of copperhead snakebites.
00:10:16It felt like every day
00:10:18someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:20I haven't had anything as exciting
00:10:22as a snakebite in months.
00:10:24You should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve.
00:10:26It's our job as doctors
00:10:28to care about even the most minor illness or affliction.
00:10:30And our patients deserve
00:10:32and need our compassion.
00:10:34That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:38Linda, are you sure there isn't anything
00:10:40you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:42You can tell me anything. You know that.
00:10:44Oh!
00:10:46What is it?
00:10:48It's a quick, sharp pain
00:10:50and shortness of breath
00:10:52and minor faintness.
00:10:54Let's get you to an examination room.
00:10:56It's not necessary.
00:10:58Is the baby moving?
00:11:00It isn't that.
00:11:02It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:04Let me finish some things up
00:11:06and we'll get you home.
00:11:12You know, my pa says
00:11:14walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:16You always walk?
00:11:18Well, weekly. I've been riding.
00:11:20You walking to my camp?
00:11:22I ain't got a horse
00:11:24to give the will to,
00:11:26but he's still a little green, testy.
00:11:28I've been
00:11:30breaking him, getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:32Figured I'd give him
00:11:34and me the day off.
00:11:36I know nothing of saddle horses.
00:11:38Only harness broke. I stick with wagons.
00:11:40You're better for it.
00:11:44I really wish you would just sit down
00:11:46after what happened today.
00:11:48What happened today?
00:11:50I don't know what you're talking about.
00:11:52And that's coming from the doctor, Emily.
00:11:54When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:56My mother-in-law. She's a midwife.
00:11:58Well, I wish I was the one delivering your baby.
00:12:00It's a doctor's job, after all.
00:12:02I'm sure it's gonna be fine.
00:12:06Ladies, if you don't mind,
00:12:08I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:16And you must be Joshua. Welcome to our home.
00:12:18Nice to meet you, Miss Owens.
00:12:20Uh, that's Dr. Owens.
00:12:22You're a doctor?
00:12:24Yes, as is my best friend, Dr. Annie Watson.
00:12:26It's a pleasure to meet you, Joshua.
00:12:28Ma'am.
00:12:30It's funny. I just had no idea
00:12:32women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:34Allowed? No, I just...
00:12:36And just who do we need permission from?
00:12:38Go easy on him, Lil. He just got here.
00:12:40I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:42Apparently not.
00:12:48That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:50We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:52You'll get used to it.
00:12:54Oh, now.
00:12:56Let's go get washed up.
00:13:00Smells like my favorite.
00:13:02Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:13:04Indeed.
00:13:18Miss Owens.
00:13:20Mr. Coyle.
00:13:22I just want you to know...
00:13:24I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:28I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:30Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:34I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:36Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:38They already have female lawyers, doctors and ministers.
00:13:40A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:42I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:44I swear.
00:13:46It's just, well...
00:13:48I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:50I'm apologizing.
00:13:52I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:54Apology accepted.
00:14:00Well, I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:02Oh, this isn't for school.
00:14:04So you read for fun?
00:14:06I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa let me.
00:14:08Well, all right.
00:14:10I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:16Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:32Nice young man.
00:14:34I hadn't noticed.
00:14:38Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:40Good night, Pa.
00:14:46Good night.
00:14:56Come in.
00:15:00How are you?
00:15:02I feel fine.
00:15:04Is everything all right?
00:15:06I can't get through.
00:15:10Can we help?
00:15:12Can we just...
00:15:14It's just...
00:15:16I think Lou is so disappointed.
00:15:18She really...
00:15:20He says it's fine.
00:15:22It's fine.
00:15:24It's the way he's been.
00:15:26It's fine.
00:15:28It's fine.
00:15:30It's fine.
00:15:32It's the way he's been.
00:15:34He says it's fine.
00:15:36It's fine.
00:15:48What is it?
00:15:50It's nothing.
00:15:52It's nothing.
00:15:54It's okay.
00:16:00It's okay.
00:16:02It's really nothing.
00:16:24It's...
00:16:26It's...
00:16:28It's...
00:16:30It's...
00:16:32It's...
00:16:34It's...
00:16:36It's...
00:16:38It's...
00:16:40It's...
00:16:54It's gonna be all right.
00:16:56It's...
00:16:58It's fine.
00:17:06It's...
00:17:08It's...
00:17:10It's...
00:17:12You don't have to...
00:17:24Did she have a seizure?
00:17:26No. She has all the other symptoms.
00:17:28Well, I'll telegraph Peter first thing in the morning.
00:17:30Tell him what's happened.
00:17:34And let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder
00:17:36for pregnancy. Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:38Well, I made it whole.
00:17:39Why her as a mother?
00:17:40You said she lives in Spartan.
00:17:47Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:50Total rest for you, Mrs. Watson,
00:17:52in a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:54To being lazy, you mean.
00:17:55I cannot just lay around all day.
00:17:57I'm a doctor, remember?
00:17:59But I am your doctor, and this is my home,
00:18:01and if it is enclampsia,
00:18:02you know bed rest is called for.
00:18:04Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:06Perhaps.
00:18:07But if I'm not, I won't be sorry later.
00:18:10I love you.
00:18:12I love you too.
00:18:20Prepare for my peach.
00:18:24Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with Aunt Annie?
00:18:27No, you just run along to school.
00:18:29I'll post a note on the clinic,
00:18:31and if someone really needs me,
00:18:32they know where to find me.
00:18:34Order, ladies.
00:18:35Morning.
00:18:37Bye, Ma.
00:18:38Have a good day, darling.
00:18:39Bye, Ma.
00:18:40Bye.
00:18:41That girl kicks up a pile of dust everywhere she goes.
00:18:46Here you go.
00:18:49Is this your way of telling me not to come home for supper?
00:18:52The other one is for Joshua.
00:18:53A young man just starting off
00:18:55looked like he could use a few more good meals.
00:18:57Do you have any idea how much I love you?
00:18:59Well, it never hurts to hear it.
00:19:05I love you too, Lee Owens.
00:19:07Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:19:09All right.
00:19:11Have a good day, sweet darling.
00:19:24Belinda feels Annie's health, as well as the baby's,
00:19:26is better served staying here until after the delivery.
00:19:30I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:32Lee Owens.
00:19:34Well, that's what he said.
00:19:43Jacko.
00:19:45Mr. McQueen.
00:19:46Sorry, we're closed today,
00:19:47but if you'd like to make an appointment...
00:19:49Were you the one that gave Mabel this tonic?
00:19:51Yes, it's iron for her anemia.
00:19:53Why you got to go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:55What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:58Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:20:00Give her that medicine.
00:20:01I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:03A doctor killed my sister with tonic.
00:20:06I don't know the details of your sister's death,
00:20:09but there's no magic to it.
00:20:11Your wife had a baby a month ago,
00:20:13and she has a very serious medical condition.
00:20:15Maybe if you weren't so hard-headed,
00:20:16you would realize that.
00:20:18Now, my advice is...
00:20:19I don't need your mouth, nor your advice,
00:20:21and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:22Doctor's not worth a hootin' holler.
00:20:29Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:31Yes, I'm just frustrated at a very stubborn and hard-headed man.
00:20:35William McQueen is truly set in his ways,
00:20:37but he's still a child of our Maker.
00:20:40He has no compassion for his wife's condition.
00:20:42Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times
00:20:45and lose sight of the compassion we should have for others?
00:20:49There I go preaching again.
00:20:51Oh, it's all right.
00:20:52I suppose I needed to hear it.
00:20:54I'll see you in church, Belinda.
00:20:56Good day.
00:21:01Good day.
00:21:09That's it. Steady blows.
00:21:11All right.
00:21:17Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:19Must run in the family.
00:21:22I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence,
00:21:25but she was adopted.
00:21:27Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:29Really?
00:21:30I never would have known.
00:21:31I mean, she and Mrs...
00:21:33I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:36Is that a fact?
00:21:37Yeah, I mean, it's just...
00:21:39Lillian's very pretty.
00:21:41Yeah, I know she's pretty.
00:21:56I'm truthfully not that hungry.
00:21:58Doctor's orders.
00:22:00Even if you don't feel up to it, you need to finish the entire bowl.
00:22:03I'm not a child, Belinda.
00:22:05And I'm a doctor. I think I know what's best for me.
00:22:07Knowing and doing are two entirely different things.
00:22:12Is that another contraction?
00:22:14No, the baby's just kicking.
00:22:16And I have to tell you, I'm a little relieved.
00:22:18I haven't felt a move since the contractions yesterday.
00:22:21You just said it was...
00:22:23heat?
00:22:24How do you know it's a boy?
00:22:26I know it sounds silly, but...
00:22:28Mary thinks because I'm carrying so low that it'll be a boy.
00:22:31It is silly. That's an old wives' tale.
00:22:33There's no medical merit to it.
00:22:35Say what you want, but when Peter's sister was pregnant,
00:22:38Mary was concerned because she was carrying so far out in front.
00:22:41She said it would be a breech birth, and...
00:22:43she was right.
00:22:44One lucky guess, and she's got you believing made-up stories.
00:22:47Goodness, he's getting his exercise today.
00:22:50Do you want to feel?
00:22:51That's all right.
00:22:53Come on, Belinda.
00:22:54You'll be nervous.
00:22:59It's so strange.
00:23:01I never thought I'd be a mother.
00:23:03Now it suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world.
00:23:10I'm sorry.
00:23:11I've opened that wound, haven't I?
00:23:14Maybe we shouldn't talk about it.
00:23:16You know, I know so many women that have gotten pregnant without even trying.
00:23:20And Lee and I have been trying.
00:23:22We've both seen it take some time.
00:23:24You just can't get impatient with yourself.
00:23:28I look after this one woman, Mabel McQueen.
00:23:31She's had six babies in the past eight years without even trying.
00:23:34It's important to you, isn't it?
00:23:41I'd best get supper ready.
00:23:43Lee and Lillian will be home soon.
00:23:46I'm here to talk whenever you'd like to.
00:23:49Please eat your soup, Annie.
00:24:05I was wondering where you'd run off to.
00:24:13I just looked in on Annie. She's out for the night.
00:24:16She keeps insisting she feels fine.
00:24:22I don't think I've heard that before.
00:24:25You two are so much alike, it's frightening.
00:24:28I suppose that's why we're such good friends.
00:24:32I noticed you didn't have Joshua over for supper tonight.
00:24:35I'm pretty sure he's sweet on Lill.
00:24:39I don't want the two of them spending too much time together.
00:24:42Why not? He's only a couple years older.
00:24:44Doc, he's an apprentice blacksmith. I want better for Lillian.
00:24:47I'm the wife of a blacksmith, and you don't hear me complaining.
00:24:51I've spent the last five years trying to figure out how I tricked you into marrying me.
00:24:55You could have done much better.
00:24:57You didn't trick me into anything.
00:24:59I married you because I fell in love with you, Leo.
00:25:02And if Lillian and Joshua had taken interest in one another,
00:25:05I don't think it's our place to stand in their way.
00:25:08Besides, telling Lillian she can't have something's like daring to try to stop her.
00:25:17I get your point.
00:25:19I don't want to get in the way of her happiness.
00:25:21Still, you left a small town to follow your dream.
00:25:26And if Lill wants to go to college, I darn sure want to see it happen.
00:25:30I don't want her tied down to sex.
00:25:34I hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has.
00:25:40It's getting a little chilly.
00:25:42Want to turn in for the night?
00:25:44You go ahead. I'll be up in a little while.
00:25:49All right.
00:26:05Don't be in such a hurry, pretty lady.
00:26:09Please allow me to pass.
00:26:11We need to get to know each other.
00:26:15I think not. I don't want to be late for school.
00:26:18I can teach you more than any school can.
00:26:20Excuse me.
00:26:23Mind letting the young lady pass?
00:26:25This ain't none of your affair, sodbuster.
00:26:27Ah, but it is.
00:26:28It ain't.
00:26:34Knocked your head off, boy.
00:26:36Now, you hold on a second.
00:26:38Now, the good book tells me to turn the other cheek.
00:26:40Now, I only have two.
00:26:42So after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:49That was the second cheek.
00:26:51You're breaking my wrist.
00:26:52Well, I understand there's a fine doctor in town.
00:26:54Please don't. Please don't break it.
00:26:56I trust I'll never see you around Miss Owens again.
00:26:58No, never.
00:26:59Good. Now get.
00:27:12Morning, Miss Owens. You on your way to school?
00:27:15Indeed I am.
00:27:18May I walk with you?
00:27:27I did the best I could, Jim, but you better go easy on it, all right?
00:27:43Boss strikes me as a hard-working man.
00:27:45He lives and breathes work.
00:27:47Ma says sometimes he rolls over in his sleep and tries to use her arms like a set of tongs.
00:27:51I guess that's the future I have to look forward to.
00:27:54Not such a bad life, really.
00:27:59So what about you?
00:28:01You want to become a doctor like your ma?
00:28:03I don't know. I haven't decided.
00:28:06Maybe I want to be a lawyer or a famous writer like Harriet Beecher Stowe.
00:28:10One thing for sure, I want to go to college.
00:28:13Well, I better get to work.
00:28:15Have a nice day, Joshua.
00:28:18You too, Lily.
00:28:30I don't think you should be climbing the stairs.
00:28:32But I feel fine.
00:28:34What's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day.
00:28:37But it's only been three days since you had pain and felt faint.
00:28:40You know the symptoms and treatment as well as I do.
00:28:43That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:49Is that singing?
00:28:51I wouldn't know that voice anywhere.
00:28:53That's Mary.
00:28:54Your mother-in-law?
00:28:55What reason does she have to be here?
00:28:57Mary doesn't need a reason to do anything.
00:29:00I don't want to have a belly.
00:29:04Free belly.
00:29:11Well, this must be it.
00:29:15Oh, Jesus.
00:29:16Thank you, my good man.
00:29:18And you have a blessed day.
00:29:22And you must be the infamous Doc Owen Deaconess.
00:29:27Mary Watson.
00:29:29You knew that already.
00:29:31Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:34Would you be a dear and bring my thing along?
00:29:43Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:45Where else would you expect me to be?
00:29:47Oh, my little lamb.
00:29:49But didn't you get the telegraph from Belinda's husband?
00:29:51I did. That's why I'm here.
00:29:53I have nothing against you finishing out your turn with your friend.
00:29:56But I certainly wasn't going to miss the birth of my first grandson.
00:30:01I've missed you.
00:30:02Oh, it's darker than the inside of a cow in here.
00:30:05Yes, it is.
00:30:06Oh, please don't do that.
00:30:07What?
00:30:08She's not a mushroom.
00:30:10She needs light.
00:30:11All right.
00:30:12Let's sit up so I can get a good look at her.
00:30:15I'm sorry, what are you doing?
00:30:16I'm getting her upright.
00:30:17If she stays in this bed too long,
00:30:20she'll get a crick in her back and it'll make delivery much more painful.
00:30:23I think it's better that she's on bed rest for the remainder of her term.
00:30:26It's not going to hurt her to sit up.
00:30:29When you've delivered as many babies as I have, you learn a few things.
00:30:33Well, I've been to medical school for years and rest is the proper treatment.
00:30:37You don't learn everything in medical school.
00:30:40That is a matter of opinion and I wholeheartedly disagree.
00:30:43Ladies, I'm not a sack of flour.
00:30:54There I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw.
00:30:59I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night.
00:31:04I expected twins, not triplets.
00:31:08In a blizzard?
00:31:10The little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:31:14Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:17Women giving birth are always an emergency.
00:31:21That's the penalty we pay for Ed eating the apple.
00:31:25It is not a penalty.
00:31:27Wow, Mrs. Watson, you sure got an exciting life.
00:31:30Well, I should probably get you up to your room, Annie.
00:31:33You let that little fella start running your life now,
00:31:36you'll be lacing his shoes when he's 30.
00:31:39Yes, Annie told me you believe it's a boy.
00:31:41Believe nothing. It's a fact.
00:31:44Honestly, Mary, you can't possibly...
00:31:46Actually, I am a little tired. I'm going to go to bed.
00:31:51I can manage on my own. Good night, all.
00:31:55Good night, Annie. Rest well, dear.
00:31:57Good night, Annie. Good night, Annie.
00:32:03There is no way to tell whether...
00:32:05I think it's time we all settled down.
00:32:07We have a full day tomorrow.
00:32:15Thank you for dinner, Dr. Holmes.
00:32:18Joshua, Lillian told us that you came to her rescue.
00:32:22Her mother and I both appreciate it.
00:32:24It was my pleasure, sir. Thank you again.
00:32:29I'll walk you out.
00:32:41Aren't they the most adorable couple?
00:32:45So tell me, how was Captain Nemo this evening?
00:32:49When I left him, he was exploring the ruins of Atlantis,
00:32:52although I can't say for sure what he does when I'm not looking.
00:32:55I never met a girl who made a book sound so interesting.
00:32:58You can borrow it if you like.
00:33:00Oh, no, I'm not sure if I'm sold on Nemo just yet.
00:33:03Maybe you could read some of it to me, though,
00:33:05just so I can find out if it's my kind of story.
00:33:08I could do that.
00:33:10Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:33:12Maybe on Saturday?
00:33:14We can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:33:17I think I know just the place.
00:33:19Lee Owens, you are not spying on our only daughter.
00:33:22I'm not spying on her. I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:33Good night.
00:33:53Let's see what you got there.
00:33:55Well, you're really improving.
00:33:59Thank you, sir. I'm trying my best to impress you.
00:34:03As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:34:08Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you,
00:34:12maybe Lillian and I...
00:34:15You want permission to court Lillian, right?
00:34:19Yes, sir.
00:34:21Well, I don't want to distract her from her goals.
00:34:24I promise I'll be respectful of her not getting in the way of her schooling.
00:34:27I know how much she wants to go to college.
00:34:30I'll think about it, all right?
00:34:33I understand.
00:34:35In the meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:39Lillian wants his order by noon.
00:34:41Yes, sir.
00:34:43You're going to be late opening your clinic.
00:34:45I don't feel comfortable leaving Annie here all alone,
00:34:48and I certainly don't feel comfortable with her being out of bed this much.
00:34:51You know, I wish the two of you wouldn't talk about me as if I wasn't sitting right here.
00:34:55Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:58You must be so frustrated, cooped up inside all the time.
00:35:03I will be here with her all day.
00:35:07You tend to your patients, and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:13If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:18Have a nice day.
00:35:23Praise the Lord, we're free!
00:35:26Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:29We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:34Tripping to town.
00:35:44Doc Owens, can I talk to you?
00:35:46Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:51I only have a minute.
00:35:52I left Lloyd at the general store. He said I was running to the butcher.
00:35:55What can I do for you, Mabel?
00:35:57Doc, I feel terrible. This sickness, it's just getting worse.
00:36:00I'm dizzy all the time, and I can barely pick up the youngins.
00:36:03That's because your anemia is getting worse. Your body needs iron.
00:36:06You're only going to get sicker.
00:36:08What can I do to make it better?
00:36:09I already told you. Vegetables or the tonic.
00:36:12If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:15I tried to take the tonic. Really, I did.
00:36:17Even started to feel a little stronger.
00:36:19And then Lloyd found it, and you know the rest.
00:36:23I certainly do. He threw a bottle at me.
00:36:25I'm sorry for that. Really, I am.
00:36:27He was just upset. He didn't mean anything by it.
00:36:30He's a wonderful husband and a father.
00:36:32Maybe. But I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
00:36:40David's boy.
00:36:54Your friend Belinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:36:57I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me, but everybody likes me.
00:37:03She isn't happy.
00:37:05She's been trying to have a baby.
00:37:07And Belinda just feels discouraged.
00:37:10Me showing up in my condition, and staying till the baby comes.
00:37:14I think it's just another painful experience.
00:37:17I don't know. I don't know.
00:37:19I'm staying till the baby comes.
00:37:21I think it's just another painful reminder.
00:37:24Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:37:27If it's baby trouble she's got, I've surely got the cure.
00:37:32How about a sugary treat?
00:37:38I'm sorry, Lloyd. It isn't here yet.
00:37:40It's been over a week. You said it'd be here by now.
00:37:43The freight line lost the shipping order.
00:37:45There's nothing I can do about it.
00:37:47There's something I could do if there was another general store within ten miles of here.
00:37:51It'll be here within a week.
00:37:53I'm here, Lloyd.
00:37:57What took you so long?
00:37:59I'm sorry, Lloyd. There was a little bit of a line.
00:38:01There's always an excuse.
00:38:03Let's get out of here. I've got fences to mend before sundown.
00:38:07Oh, man.
00:38:09She's...
00:38:11Oh, ma'am.
00:38:13Ma'am?
00:38:15Ma'am?
00:38:17She's just feeling poorly at legs.
00:38:19She's got a newborn and five youngins.
00:38:21Says it wears her out.
00:38:23You think a mother doesn't work.
00:38:27I've seen this a bunch.
00:38:29During and after pregnancy.
00:38:31This is a severe case of anemia.
00:38:33She don't need coddling, lady.
00:38:36No, you don't.
00:38:38You are selfish.
00:38:40And rude.
00:38:42And contemptuous.
00:38:44And you can't see the forest for the trees.
00:38:46Doc Owens is trying to save your wife's life.
00:38:49She's dying.
00:38:53You get her over to the clinic.
00:38:55And you beg Doc Owens for more of that tonic.
00:38:58Don't talk to me like that.
00:39:00I'll talk to you any way I want.
00:39:02Get her to the clinic.
00:39:06You better pray to the merciful and good lord
00:39:12that she doesn't slam the door in your ungrateful face.
00:39:17Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:31I gave you a double dose.
00:39:33I gave you a double dose, so do not take any more today.
00:39:35No, ma'am.
00:39:37Starting tomorrow morning, take two teaspoons every morning.
00:39:39And if you don't get your strength back in four days,
00:39:41get back in here.
00:39:47I'd like to apologize.
00:39:49The last time we spoke, I lost my temper.
00:39:52What do I owe you for the tonic?
00:39:54Only that you allowed her to keep taking it.
00:39:56You don't need no charity.
00:39:58The first one was already paid for.
00:40:00This is just a replacement.
00:40:02Step up.
00:40:20Yes, dear?
00:40:21I'm sorry. Are you sleeping?
00:40:23Well, not anymore.
00:40:26My apprentice wants to court Lillian.
00:40:30His name is Joshua.
00:40:33I told him what to think about.
00:40:36Oh, then think.
00:40:39Don't think too long. Lillian's growing up.
00:40:42I'm having a hard time with it.
00:40:44You're having a hard time letting her grow up.
00:40:47I was trying to protect her.
00:40:49I don't think she needs protection from Joshua.
00:40:52He's a very nice young man.
00:40:54That's all you have to say about it?
00:40:57Good night, sweetheart.
00:41:03All right.
00:41:06Tomorrow I'll give Joshua my permission to court Lill.
00:41:22I don't think I know about your little excursion with Annie.
00:41:25This town is filled with gossips.
00:41:27Can't keep a secret for more than five minutes.
00:41:29It's a pretty little town, Sykeston.
00:41:32I can see why you like it here.
00:41:34May I ask why you feel the need to go against every instruction I have for Annie?
00:41:39I don't deliberately go against your word.
00:41:42We just disagree about how to treat her.
00:41:46This isn't a competition, Mary.
00:41:48If a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia,
00:41:51I wouldn't dream of telling you how to treat them.
00:41:54It's your business.
00:41:56Babies are my business.
00:41:58Have been for 30 years.
00:42:00It's just there's been so many new advancements.
00:42:03Sometimes the old ways are best.
00:42:05Annie may have a serious condition which could be fatal to both her and the baby.
00:42:09Are you sure?
00:42:10Of course I'm not sure, but I'm not taking any chances.
00:42:13So it's true what they say that doctors only practice medicine.
00:42:20This conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere.
00:42:25So Annie tells me you're barren.
00:42:27Or having trouble, anyway.
00:42:30I don't think that's any of your concern.
00:42:32I see this problem a lot.
00:42:34If you want, I could give you some remedies that are guaranteed to work.
00:42:37I know how it's done, Mary.
00:42:39I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
00:42:42So what do you think is the problem?
00:42:44You're too high strung.
00:42:46Folks worry too much about work, family, or whether or not they can have a baby.
00:42:52Then years go by and nothing happens.
00:42:55Then one day, they decide to stop trying.
00:42:58And before you know it, they find they're with child.
00:43:02So your sage advice for me is to relax.
00:43:06Read a book before you go to bed.
00:43:09Take some deep breaths.
00:43:12And before you know it, I'll be back to deliver your little one.
00:43:15I'll make sure I try that.
00:43:23Every baby boy needs his own blanket.
00:43:26Don't you agree?
00:43:28Yes, I do.
00:43:38I'm going to head to the shop for a few hours.
00:43:40I'll be back in time for supper.
00:43:42Don't you worry.
00:43:44I'll be back in time.
00:43:46I'll be back in time.
00:43:48I'll be back in time.
00:43:50I'll be back in time for supper.
00:43:52Don't you ever take time off?
00:43:54Oh, the good book says that a man who doesn't work doesn't deserve to eat.
00:43:57I ain't got a lot of work to do.
00:43:59We just thought you'd have more time off once you hired an apprentice.
00:44:01And I do. Now I'm only two weeks behind instead of six.
00:44:07Lillian, you look lovely. Where are you headed off to?
00:44:10Joshua and I are having a picnic.
00:44:12You enjoy yourself and please tell Joshua that we said hello.
00:44:16I will.
00:44:17You'll be back in time for supper now. No exceptions.
00:44:19I will. I promise.
00:44:21Bye, everyone.
00:44:23Bye, dear.
00:44:38I love it.
00:44:40The sea is everything. It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe.
00:44:43Its breath is pure and healthy.
00:44:45It is an immense desert where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.
00:44:49The sea is the only embodiment of the supernatural and wonderful existence.
00:44:53It is nothing but love and emotion.
00:44:56It's living and infinite, as one of your poets has said.
00:45:01I've been reading for almost two hours. You must be bored.
00:45:04No, I don't think I can ever get bored of listening to you talk.
00:45:07You're just saying that.
00:45:09No, I'm not. I swear.
00:45:12I'd like this Captain Nemo if he weren't holding his friends hostage all the time.
00:45:15I can't let them go or they might tell the world who he is.
00:45:1820,000 leagues is an allegory. It's about personal freedom.
00:45:21Nemo means nobody in Latin.
00:45:23He's invisible to the world and wants to keep it that way.
00:45:26You're brilliant. You know that?
00:45:28I am not.
00:45:37Lee? You working today?
00:45:41You work harder than any man I know.
00:45:44Well, I can't let the customers down.
00:45:46Besides, it gives me thinking time.
00:45:48Anything that you'd like to share with your pastor?
00:45:52This is a lot of rumbling around in my head like a marble.
00:45:55Sometimes it helps to speak it out loud.
00:45:57Talking to yourself only gets the answer you're looking for.
00:46:00I just can't figure Lillian out.
00:46:04I'm trying to be a good father to her.
00:46:06Our children grow up, start spreading their wings.
00:46:10A father has to be aware of that and try to grow with his child.
00:46:15Yeah. Belinda tolerates more than I do.
00:46:18She's a mother.
00:46:20The good Lord gave them the patience of Job when it comes to raising their children.
00:46:24He shortchanged fathers in that area.
00:46:27Yeah. Yeah.
00:46:34I really wish you would get some rest.
00:46:37I feel fine.
00:46:39Looks like someone may have been wrong about my condition.
00:46:42Perhaps.
00:46:45So, have things improved with Lee?
00:46:47He says he isn't bothered, but I still sense that he's disappointed we can't have a baby.
00:46:53Well, maybe you're just being overly sensitive and you think that he's disappointed.
00:46:57Maybe.
00:46:59You know, I'm starting to think that maybe she regrets marrying me.
00:47:02Now, Lee, that is just plain nonsense.
00:47:06She's proud as a peacock that she married you.
00:47:08Maybe.
00:47:09Have you spoken to her about it?
00:47:11In a roundabout way.
00:47:13Of course, she says I'm wrong.
00:47:16Still, she seems kind of distant lately.
00:47:18She's got something on her mind.
00:47:20Most women do when they get like that.
00:47:23Yeah.
00:47:24You know, we're trying to have a baby.
00:47:29So far, no luck.
00:47:31You have to have faith.
00:47:33Sometimes it's hard, Reverend.
00:47:36Talk to her about your feelings.
00:47:40I'd best be getting home.
00:47:42Mrs. Daves will give me an earful if I'm late for supper.
00:47:45Myself included.
00:47:52Well, I see you didn't need my help putting supper on the table.
00:47:58You're taking a nap, ma'am.
00:47:59We just wanted you to be able to rest.
00:48:01I'll rest enough when I'm dead.
00:48:04Give me that knife before you cut yourself.
00:48:13So, do you miss your family?
00:48:15I do.
00:48:17My pa's a farmer back in Pennsylvania.
00:48:19He wanted more for me than to spend my entire life plowing fields.
00:48:23So, he said if I got good enough, maybe I can find some work in Philadelphia.
00:48:27Sounds like he cares about you a lot.
00:48:29Yeah, my family's pretty close.
00:48:32It's kind of strange, though, you know, being out here all by myself.
00:48:36I have three sisters and two brothers and I had a moment of peace.
00:48:39Back at the boarding house, I got nothing but quiet.
00:48:41I know what you mean.
00:48:43I mostly grew up in an orphanage until ma and pa adopted me when I was ten.
00:48:47I'd spent so long in a room with other kids, I couldn't wait to have a room of my own.
00:48:52Now I miss having someone to talk to.
00:48:55Yeah, me.
00:48:57You do, don't I?
00:49:00So, tell me something.
00:49:03How'd you ever find a place like this, anyway?
00:49:06I stumbled across it by accident while riding one day.
00:49:09It's so far off the main roads, no one really comes out here.
00:49:12So, I brought some of my old stuff and now it's where I come to be alone.
00:49:17Oh, I can see why.
00:49:19Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape.
00:49:22This reminds me of it.
00:49:25Well, the timber still seems...
00:49:27I wouldn't do that.
00:49:32Not as sound as you might think.
00:49:34You're probably right.
00:49:37I think it's best we pack up.
00:49:43Well, I'm happy to see you and Mary are getting along.
00:49:46You know, her fertility advice to me was to relax and read a book before bed.
00:49:52Did you try it?
00:49:54Of course not.
00:49:55She's been doing this longer than we've been alive.
00:49:57I can't believe you, Annie Watson.
00:50:00You've spent three years in medical school, five years practicing medicine,
00:50:03and you're going to believe that woman's folk magic?
00:50:06It's rubbish, plain and simple.
00:50:08We ask people to believe in things they don't understand, and they do.
00:50:11Because they have trust and faith in us.
00:50:14Just like they have faith in the Lord.
00:50:16Okay, it is not the same thing and we're talking about Mary here.
00:50:18Why do you have such a hard time believing in Mary's ways?
00:50:21Okay, Mary is a lovely woman.
00:50:24But you have to admit, she's a little touch in the head.
00:50:27She doesn't like me any more than I like her.
00:50:29Really?
00:50:31The other day at the general store, Mary defended you to the ends of the earth.
00:50:35What are you talking about?
00:50:36The man with the anemic wife?
00:50:38The one that you said was such a success story?
00:50:40Mary is the reason that he brought her back to you.
00:50:43That's why Lloyd McQueen brought his wife back to me?
00:50:46Mary unloaded on him like a tornado.
00:50:48Spoke up for you and just plain made him cower.
00:50:54Come on. Let's go.
00:51:04Do you have any idea what time it is?
00:51:06Hi, Pop.
00:51:07We were supposed to be home for supper.
00:51:09Joshua and I weren't that hungry, so we decided to stay a little while longer.
00:51:12Well, it's well past supper. That's more than a little while.
00:51:15Why are you so angry?
00:51:17I thought I could trust your judgment, but apparently I was wrong.
00:51:19What's that supposed to mean?
00:51:21It means you can't spend any more time with Joshua, Coyle, until I say so.
00:51:24You'll go to school, help your mother at the clinic and come straight home.
00:51:27For how long?
00:51:28As long as it takes me to trust you again.
00:51:30That's completely unfair.
00:51:32Joshua's only two years older than I am and no one tells him what to do.
00:51:35No one said the world was fair, young lady.
00:51:38Lil.
00:51:42I was worried about you.
00:51:51Hi.
00:52:05Hello, Joshua.
00:52:07Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:52:11Mr. Owens told me how much trouble I caused the other night.
00:52:14I just wanted to come by and say how sorry I am for keeping Lillian out so late.
00:52:18You needn't place the blame all on yourself.
00:52:20She's old enough to know better.
00:52:22I'm still sorry.
00:52:23Ma, I can't find the...
00:52:26bandages.
00:52:30Pa said I can't see you for a while.
00:52:32Boss said you couldn't go out with Joshua.
00:52:35He said nothing about the two of you seeing each other.
00:52:38Thanks, ma.
00:52:42Well, I have work to do.
00:52:44It was nice to see you, Joshua.
00:52:46There's always room open at the dinner table for you.
00:52:50Thank you, ma'am.
00:52:57Sorry to get you into trouble.
00:52:58You didn't do anything wrong and neither did I.
00:53:00I'm a grown woman and I don't need my pa deciding how late I can and can't stay out.
00:53:04He's just worried about you is all.
00:53:06Well, he doesn't need to be.
00:53:07There's no need to be cross, Lillian.
00:53:09I mean, I'll still be here when you get off punishment.
00:53:12I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:15I wanted to return this. I finished it.
00:53:17Already? I just gave it to you.
00:53:19Once I got started, it was hard to quit.
00:53:22I mean, the sun was already up when I finally closed the book.
00:53:24So you stayed up all night just to read about Captain Nemo?
00:53:26No. I don't think I would have gotten much sleep with or without him.
00:53:33I'll be thinking about you.
00:53:35You too.
00:53:49Mary?
00:53:57Mary?
00:53:58In here, dear.
00:54:06Annie, should you be up?
00:54:07Where are you going?
00:54:10I've decided to head on home.
00:54:12I can see you're in good hands.
00:54:14You're leaving?
00:54:16Before the baby comes?
00:54:17Oh, you'll do fine.
00:54:20And besides, the last thing you need is an old granny midwife gumming up the works.
00:54:28This doesn't have anything to do with the disagreement between you and Belinda, does it?
00:54:31Oh, no, no, no.
00:54:34Truth is, I'm feeling homesick.
00:54:39I've been sleeping in my own bed.
00:54:41And my patients back home don't have a smart lady doctor to take care of them.
00:54:47If you've made your decision, I can't stop you.
00:54:50I'd really love for you to stay, though.
00:54:53I want my family here when the baby comes.
00:54:55Belinda is your family, sweetheart.
00:54:59And Peter will be back with you next week.
00:55:02Besides, all of you will be home before long and somebody's got to get the house ready.
00:55:09I'm going to go home to check on Annie. I shouldn't be long.
00:55:11If there's an emergency, just send them my way or come running, which you're very good at.
00:55:16I will, Ma, and thank you.
00:55:18For what?
00:55:19For understanding about me and Joshua.
00:55:21Believe it or not, I was your age once.
00:55:24I'm not going to keep her from church social.
00:55:27You may not be able to go with her, but you'll see her better.
00:55:31In the meantime, we have an order to finish.
00:55:35Well, all right, I like your attitude.
00:55:40I'm going to go.
00:55:41I'm going to go.
00:55:43I'm going to go.
00:55:45I'm going to go.
00:55:47I'm going to go.
00:55:48I'm going to go.
00:55:49I'm going to go.
00:55:50I'm going to go.
00:55:51I'm going to go.
00:55:52I'm going to go.
00:55:59You're leaving.
00:56:01Time for me to go home.
00:56:02I'm sorry to hear that.
00:56:04I'm going to see her off into town.
00:56:05Annie, I just don't think it's a good idea for you to be carrying luggage and walking into town.
00:56:09It was my idea, Belinda, and I've been all over this whole territory through my entire pregnancy.
00:56:14I think I can handle a short walk into town.
00:56:17Doc Owens!
00:56:19Danny.
00:56:22Lillian told me you was here.
00:56:23Ma's in labor.
00:56:24Okay, there's a horse and buggy in the barn.
00:56:25Help me hook it up.
00:56:26Yes, ma'am.
00:56:30I trust you won't walk into town while I'm away.
00:56:33All right, peach pie.
00:56:35You get back in the house and stay put.
00:56:38Belinda and I have a baby to deliver.
00:56:40Mrs. Travis is my patient.
00:56:43If you find you don't need me,
00:56:45If you find you don't need me,
00:56:48you have my permission to just shove me out of the way.
00:56:51But if you do, I'm there.
00:56:56Fine, but only because I don't have time to argue with you.
00:57:08Thank you, young man.
00:57:09Ma'am?
00:57:15It's never taken this long.
00:57:16The first few hours seemed normal, but then it just stopped.
00:57:18What stopped? The contractions?
00:57:20No, Doc, the baby. It's like it's stuck, but I can't see the head.
00:57:23I'll see to it.
00:57:24Your mama's gonna be fine.
00:57:29It's a fetal dystocia.
00:57:31A what?
00:57:32The baby's shoulder is stuck.
00:57:33What are you thinking to do with that?
00:57:35We have to get the baby out before it suffocates.
00:57:37If we start pulling, we could make things worse.
00:57:40What should we do?
00:57:42Well, if you can't get the baby out from inside,
00:57:46you try it from the outside.
00:57:49All right, help me with her now.
00:57:51That's good.
00:57:52What are we doing?
00:57:53We're gonna flatten out her hip bones.
00:57:58Mrs. Travis, lay down for me.
00:58:00Now, we're gonna see who's stuck and who's not.
00:58:07Oh!
00:58:15There.
00:58:30It's gonna be all right.
00:58:31It's gonna be all right.
00:58:37Pa?
00:58:40Pa?
00:58:44Hello, Joshua.
00:58:46Where's my pa?
00:58:48He's on delivery.
00:58:49Then headed home.
00:58:51I'd sure like to go to the ice cream social.
00:58:54I'd sure like to ask you to go with me.
00:58:56So?
00:58:58Your pa said I could see you there.
00:59:01I'm sorry.
00:59:02Sorry.
00:59:18Joshua.
00:59:21Pa is being so unreasonable.
00:59:24We were late coming home, okay?
00:59:26Don't tell me you're on his side.
00:59:28What's the difference in an hour or so?
00:59:30We got home just fine.
00:59:32He just doesn't trust me.
00:59:33Your pa had no way of knowing whether you are all right
00:59:35when you didn't make it home on time.
00:59:36You sound just like pa.
00:59:38Ma is the only one who understands.
00:59:41Lily, wait a second.
00:59:54Pa, get up!
00:59:56Pa!
00:59:58Pa!
01:00:01Pa!
01:00:03Gosh!
01:00:11It's a beautiful baby boy and your wife is fine.
01:00:15Can I see them?
01:00:16Shortly.
01:00:20Well?
01:00:22Looks like we got ourselves a baby brother.
01:00:24Oh.
01:00:29Isn't he beautiful?
01:00:30He sure is.
01:00:34He better be.
01:00:36Leave it to a boy to jam up the works.
01:00:50That's not doctor's water.
01:00:53Doesn't matter who does it, just as long as it gets done.
01:01:00I learned something today that they didn't teach me in medical school.
01:01:23Whoa!
01:01:46All right, whoa!
01:01:48Whoa!
01:01:53Whoa!
01:01:58Have you seen Lillian?
01:01:59No, why?
01:02:00Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:02:01She's been missing all afternoon.
01:02:03We got in an argument at the shop over Mr. Owens and she stormed off.
01:02:06Said you were the only one who understands her.
01:02:08We were hoping she'd run off to find you.
01:02:10She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:02:13Wait, it's about to get dark outside.
01:02:15If she gets stuck in the countryside...
01:02:17I think I know where she is.
01:02:20I think I know where she is.
01:02:40It's worse this time.
01:02:42I feel like I could faint.
01:02:43Okay, okay, let's get her inside.
01:02:45Looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:03:15How much further?
01:03:16Just up ahead.
01:03:25How are you feeling?
01:03:27I'm really not as lightheaded as before.
01:03:29I'd like to just go to bed.
01:03:31Let's get you upstairs to a darkened room.
01:03:33Doctor's orders.
01:03:45Whee!
01:03:51Whee!
01:03:54Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:04:16Whoa.
01:04:20Was it like this before?
01:04:22No, sir.
01:04:23Looks like there was a cave-in.
01:04:25She might be hurt.
01:04:28This is one of her labs.
01:04:29Come on, let's go.
01:04:31Lil!
01:04:33Lil!
01:04:41It's right up there.
01:04:43It's here.
01:04:46Lil!
01:04:50Lil.
01:04:51Give me a hand with this.
01:04:53One, two, three.
01:04:59You got it?
01:05:00Lil, Lil.
01:05:03Lil.
01:05:04Come on, talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:07No.
01:05:10No.
01:05:13Pa?
01:05:14Yeah.
01:05:15I'm here, honey.
01:05:18Just take it easy.
01:05:19Just stay down, all right?
01:05:23I'm gonna get you out of here.
01:05:25Okay.
01:05:37How's Lilia?
01:05:41A few cuts and bruises,
01:05:43but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:46She's out for the night.
01:05:48Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:05:50Give her a couple of days.
01:05:52She'll be right as rain.
01:05:54At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:05:57No.
01:05:58No.
01:05:59No.
01:06:00No.
01:06:01No.
01:06:02No.
01:06:03No.
01:06:04At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:06:07Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:06:10Ah.
01:06:11This, too, shall pass.
01:06:15Children are just...
01:06:17so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:19True miracles.
01:06:20Are you still fretting about the baby-making?
01:06:23I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:26Well, give it up if you want.
01:06:28But I'm telling you,
01:06:31the shine in your hair
01:06:33is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:35You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:37It doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:39It only matters what you believe.
01:06:41What do you mean?
01:06:42Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:46It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:51I'm sorry I doubted you.
01:06:53You didn't deserve it.
01:06:55The Lord says
01:06:57we are to forgive if we expect to be forgiven.
01:07:01Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning,
01:07:04and all is forgiven.
01:07:06That's a promise.
01:07:16Late night tonight.
01:07:18Everyone's worn out.
01:07:20A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:28You know,
01:07:30I think I might
01:07:32read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:34Really? You never read in bed.
01:07:37I think it'll do me good.
01:07:39Help me unwind after the long day we've all had.
01:07:42Mm.
01:07:48Doc.
01:07:50I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:54Will's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:58And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage who need a good home.
01:08:02You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of our own?
01:08:06I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:09Always have been. Always will be.
01:08:14Do you think my hair's shiny?
01:08:19Yeah.
01:08:20Yeah, like the sunrise.
01:08:24I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:27I love you, too.
01:08:30Goodnight, Dad.
01:08:32Oh, all right. You gonna read your book now?
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:37All right.
01:08:39I'll just go to sleep.
01:08:47You sure I can't help you read it or...
01:08:50No? All right.
01:08:53Goodnight.
01:09:02Shouldn't you be in bed?
01:09:04My ball and chain let me come downstairs.
01:09:07She has her mind set on going to the ice cream social.
01:09:11What if I find a shady, comfortable place to just sit and eat ice cream?
01:09:15You are not going to the social.
01:09:17I am a doctor! I vote yes!
01:09:19That's one vote for Dr. Annie and one vote for the midwife.
01:09:22I guess you've got the tie-breaking vote, Doc.
01:09:28I'm sorry, Annie. I'm gonna have to side with the midwife.
01:09:31But I love ice cream.
01:09:33Then I'll send you some.
01:09:34It's not the same.
01:09:35How do I know you're not gonna sneak out when we're gone?
01:09:38Don't give it a second thought, Doc.
01:09:40This old ball and chain will be sitting right here like a prison warden.
01:09:44You're both against me.
01:09:46That's right. Read your book and pout.
01:10:01Don't you look beautiful?
01:10:03Except for this.
01:10:05No one will even notice that.
01:10:07Even Joshua?
01:10:08Especially Joshua.
01:10:10Thanks for telling Joshua he can escort me to the social.
01:10:13You're still coming with your mother and I, right?
01:10:15I told him I wanted to walk in with my family and see him from afar.
01:10:18That's very romantic.
01:10:20Must be from all the books I read.
01:10:23Pa...
01:10:25I'm sorry for not making curfew the other night.
01:10:28I know you were just worried about me.
01:10:30Don't worry about it.
01:10:32You're growing up so fast, sometimes I can't keep up with you.
01:10:36Thanks, Pa.
01:10:38Come here.
01:10:45Come here.
01:10:53And then he stepped like this.
01:10:55See?
01:10:57Because on Mondays...
01:11:02Here you go.
01:11:04Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:11:06No, thank you.
01:11:07No, thank you, Joshua.
01:11:16How's your ice cream?
01:11:18Dr. Owens, can we talk?
01:11:20Lloyd, I believe you know my husband, Lee.
01:11:24Lloyd, I want to thank you.
01:11:27Mabel's as different as night and day.
01:11:29It's all I can do to keep up with her.
01:11:31Well, you do look like a brand-new person.
01:11:33You've had a lot more energy.
01:11:35You still need some extra sleep in the afternoons,
01:11:37but you're getting stronger every day.
01:11:38Well, the best medicine is no good
01:11:40if it isn't dispensed or received with a joyful spirit.
01:11:44It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:46Well, I, uh...
01:11:48I'm also the one who apologized for being stubborn.
01:11:52Thanks again, Dr. Evans.
01:11:53It was my pleasure.
01:11:55And I should be the one to apologize to you, Mabel.
01:11:59I had no right to be cross with you when you needed my help.
01:12:02I hope you can forgive me.
01:12:03There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:08Have a good day.
01:12:14That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:17Would you like some ice cream?
01:12:19I'd love some.
01:12:38I got Lee's telegram. Where's Annie?
01:12:40The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:42Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:44I need Belinda now!
01:12:46I want to see Annie.
01:12:47Get Belinda now!
01:12:54You look beautiful.
01:12:56Say that again?
01:12:57Handsome.
01:12:59I still can't believe it.
01:13:01Can't believe what?
01:13:03That I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:09It's very sweet of you to say, Joshua.
01:13:23Lillian's got a boyfriend. Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:27Lillian's got a boyfriend. Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:31Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:38All the rest of you have fun.
01:13:41Belinda!
01:13:43I need you!
01:13:51Belinda!
01:13:52It's Annie. You've got to come quick.
01:13:54Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:14:08Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:11She's had a seizure. I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete, it's been the best week down here.
01:14:18There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:29Dear Lord, please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:34Amen.
01:14:36Amen.
01:14:38Thank you, Lee.
01:14:40You're welcome.
01:14:42Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:55Peter?
01:14:57He's waiting downstairs.
01:15:00Right.
01:15:03It is eclipsia.
01:15:05I'm afraid so.
01:15:09Please save my baby.
01:15:12You know what you have to do.
01:15:22I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:34What did she mean?
01:15:37You know what has to be done.
01:15:39That baby has to come out if we're to save it,
01:15:42even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:44That baby is ready.
01:15:46She was talking about a cesarean delivery,
01:15:49which I could do at the clinic but under very crude conditions.
01:15:53Have you ever done one?
01:15:55I did one once at a hospital in Boston,
01:15:58but I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:16:01And there wasn't eclipsia involved.
01:16:03Is there no other choice?
01:16:06Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:16:09Well, then, we'd best get that labor going.
01:16:18What is that?
01:16:20Scotch broom with a little vanilla to help it go down.
01:16:23Women have been using it for centuries.
01:16:25Scotch broom is a weed?
01:16:27A weed the good Lord made.
01:16:30His wonders to perceive.
01:16:32Does it work?
01:16:34Sure as the sunrise.
01:16:36A little of this, and we'll have our baby boy in no time.
01:16:45Is there anything else I can do?
01:16:47A glass of water.
01:17:23Her temperature is slightly raised,
01:17:26but her heartbeat and her breathing are normal.
01:17:29No contractions yet.
01:17:31It doesn't seem to be working.
01:17:33It's never taken this long.
01:17:35Let's just give it a little more time.
01:17:38We could lose Annie and the baby.
01:17:41Do you have everything here that you need to do a cesarean delivery?
01:17:51How about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:57I'm going to make some tea.
01:17:59Would you like a cup?
01:18:01No, thank you.
01:18:16Any news?
01:18:17Nothing yet.
01:18:19I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:26Okay.
01:18:41You're doing fine, Annie. Just keep breathing.
01:18:48Contractions. Closer together.
01:18:50We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family.
01:18:55It's all right. It's all right.
01:18:57Keep breathing. Good. Good.
01:19:00Help!
01:19:23Congratulations, Uncle Peter.
01:19:30She's so beautiful.
01:19:33I've delivered hundreds of babies, but I've never seen one this perfect.
01:19:39And I'm not just saying that because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:42I thought she was a boy.
01:19:45She carried like a boy.
01:19:47We live and learn, don't we, Doc?
01:19:49We sure do.
01:19:51Thank you both for being here.
01:19:53There's no other place we'd rather be.
01:19:57Is it okay if I come in?
01:20:05Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:13Can I hold her?
01:20:16Come sit.
01:20:26Woo!
01:20:48Hey, you got that, fella?
01:20:50Brought you a present.
01:20:52A present?
01:20:54These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:56When I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:21:00The way you went through 20,000 links, I figured you'd use a few more.
01:21:03Oh, you think so?
01:21:08I should probably get going.
01:21:10Okay. Will I see you later?
01:21:13I'm sure as this is one fine day.
01:21:25Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter,
01:21:28I could use a little helping here.
01:21:30I'm coming.
01:21:33Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us
01:21:37and the love which envelops us.
01:21:39May we always strive to walk the way you like
01:21:42and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:45Amen.
01:21:55Hey, are you all right?
01:21:57I'm fine. Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:00I've gotten so used to you being at the house,
01:22:02it's gonna be too quiet when we're gone.
01:22:04Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:07I think it's time we go home.
01:22:09I'm gonna miss you so very much.
01:22:11And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:18What are you doing out here?
01:22:20Oh, I was just getting some fresh air.
01:22:22Talking to Annie.
01:22:24You're gonna miss her, aren't you?
01:22:26Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:29Let's enjoy her while we can.
01:22:40Thank you very much.
01:22:42It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:44And Belinda. I can never thank you enough.
01:22:47Well, I wish I could take all the credit,
01:22:49but I had some expert help.
01:22:51This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:54I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:57Me too.
01:22:59All aboard, folks! We're burning daylight!
01:23:02And it's about that time.
01:23:04Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:06Of course.
01:23:16Bye, you two.
01:23:18Bye.
01:23:21Bye.
01:23:35Easy now.
01:23:37All right, take her easy there.
01:23:42Well, my friend,
01:23:44we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:47How do I thank you, Mary?
01:23:49Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:54I learned a lot from you.
01:23:56And I from you.
01:23:58I may bring them into the world,
01:24:00but you keep them alive and kicking once they're here.
01:24:03Now, if you ever need a good midwife,
01:24:06you know where to find me.
01:24:08Oh.
01:24:20There you are.
01:24:22Oh, young man, I'm gonna need a hand here.
01:24:25All right. There we go.
01:24:27Wait a minute. One, two, three.
01:24:29Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:34Well, Commodore, are we staying home with the tide?
01:24:37I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:40Yes, ma'am.
01:24:42Hyah! Get out!
01:24:44Get!
01:24:50Hyah!
01:24:58Where are you and Mary whispering to each other?
01:25:01She's telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:08You mean...
01:25:10Mm-hmm.
01:25:12Are you sure?
01:25:14I'm a doctor.
01:25:16I know a pregnant woman when I see one,
01:25:18especially when I am one.
01:25:22Hey.
01:25:24We're gonna have a baby.
01:25:26Baby?
01:25:28We're gonna have a baby.
01:25:32Lillian Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:35Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:37Yes, ma'am.
01:25:39Joshua Coyle, don't just stand there and gawk.
01:25:42You've got a job to do.
01:25:44Yes, ma'am.
01:25:48I've got patients to attend to and baby plans to make.
01:25:54Uh, now wait up.
01:25:56Now wait up a bit.
01:25:59How far along are you?
01:26:02Now I'm serious.
01:26:04Well, we've got to start talking about an age, really.
01:26:07I mean, I'd like to leave for a boy.
01:26:09Oh, you think it's gonna be a boy?
01:26:11Or, uh, you know, maybe a girl.
01:26:13Oh, that's very pretty.
01:26:15Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
01:26:17What do you think?
01:26:18All right, now hold on, I'm gonna get the door for you.
01:26:20Oh, wait, my goodness.
01:26:22Stop it.
