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.
00:00:11The 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!
00:00:33Skip 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.
00:01:39Your gums are very pale, Mabel.
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.
00:02:10You 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.
00:03:20All finished?
00:03:22That'll be two dollars for the doctor and fifty cents for the medicine.
00:03:36I'm sorry, your husband doesn't allow me any extra money.
00:03:39I have to lose the sock money I had saved up.
00:03:42I'm sorry.
00:03:44I'm sorry.
00:03:46I'm sorry.
00:03:48I have to lose the sock money I had saved up.
00:03:50Why don't we just call it a dollar even?
00:03:54That's very kind of you.
00:03:56Don't mention it, Mrs. McQueen.
00:04:08All right, pal.
00:04:12Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:14See you later.
00:04:18I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:24Here it 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.
00:04:48Come on.
00:04:56Aunt Annie's here.
00:05:00Aunt Annie.
00:05:02Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:06She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:08Sure, she looks very round.
00:05:10I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:12Oh, let me get that.
00:05:14Oh, it's fine.
00:05:16It's like a china doll I'm not going to break.
00:05:20I'm so glad you came.
00:05:22Me too.
00:05:24I can't tell you how much I appreciate you
00:05:26looking after Annie while I'm away.
00:05:28I didn't want to take a surveying job
00:05:30this close to her having a baby,
00:05:32but we need the money.
00:05:34I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:36Put your mind at ease, Pete.
00:05:38We're happy to have her.
00:05:40My mother would have stayed with Annie,
00:05:42but I wanted to come visit my best friend
00:05:44How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:46Broken bones and bee stings.
00:05:48Anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you again, Annie.
00:05:52The town loves Ma.
00:05:54They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:56Those are very kind words, Lillian,
00:05:58but they're hardly true.
00:06:00Well, how about I start cleaning and leave?
00:06:02You'll help me get settled in for the night?
00:06:14Hi, Sal.
00:06:16It's good having Annie here.
00:06:18It is.
00:06:20She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:22I'd like to think of you
00:06:24as my very best friend.
00:06:26Why don't you tell your very best friend
00:06:28where you are?
00:06:30I'm right here.
00:06:32Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:34I'm just tired.
00:06:36You sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:38What's wrong?
00:06:40I'm not pregnant.
00:06:42Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:44We've tried for so long.
00:06:46We have more than we can handle at will.
00:06:48Oh, I know, but...
00:06:52It's just that when Annie found out the news,
00:06:54it made me want a baby of our own even more.
00:07:00Now that she's staying with us...
00:07:02No.
00:07:07We are going to have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:09All good things come in God's time.
00:07:13Maybe we should just let Him decide.
00:07:15What if He doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:25Hey.
00:07:27Come on.
00:07:29Let's go help Lil finish the dishes.
00:07:31Hmm?
00:07:39Come on.
00:07:49I guess I'd best be leaving now.
00:07:51Peter, please be careful.
00:07:53Yes.
00:07:55My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:57I love you.
00:07:59I love you, too.
00:08:03Bye, ladies.
00:08:05Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:07Step up!
00:08:37Check on the team, Mike.
00:08:39Welcome home, darling.
00:08:53You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:55Yes, sir.
00:08:57We owe it to you.
00:08:59Welcome sightseeing.
00:09:01How was your trip?
00:09:03Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:09:05Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:09:07Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:09Yes, sir.
00:09:11Well, Saxon's a nice little town.
00:09:13I hope you like it.
00:09:15I expect so.
00:09:17Can I help you with your things?
00:09:19I don't have much.
00:09:21All right.
00:09:23Come on. Let me show you the shop.
00:09:25Sounds good.
00:09:27So we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:29Livery work and rolling stock.
00:09:31Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:33You can work a straight piece of metal.
00:09:35Those would be your tools.
00:09:37It's hard work.
00:09:39You managed to make something that'll last a generation or two.
00:09:41It gives you a sense of pride.
00:09:43I reckon that's true.
00:09:45What do you say?
00:09:47You ready to get started?
00:09:49Yes, sir.
00:09:51All right, then.
00:09:59How was your walk?
00:10:01Carrying around a 30-pound sack of flour?
00:10:03Slow day?
00:10:05Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time
00:10:07before someone comes in from getting caught
00:10:09on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder.
00:10:11You know, when I was traveling through Salina last month,
00:10:13there was a rash of Copperhead snakebites.
00:10:15It felt like every day
00:10:17someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:19I haven't had anything as exciting
00:10:21as a snakebite in months.
00:10:23You should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve.
00:10:25It's our job as doctors
00:10:27to care about even the most minor illness
00:10:29or affliction.
00:10:31And our patients deserve
00:10:33and need our compassion.
00:10:35That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:39Linda, are you sure there isn't anything
00:10:41you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:43You can tell me anything. You know that.
00:10:45Oh!
00:10:47What is it?
00:10:49It's a quick, sharp pain
00:10:51and shortness of breath
00:10:53and minor faintness.
00:10:55Let's get you to an examination room.
00:10:57Sorry. Is the baby moving?
00:10:59It isn't that.
00:11:01It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:03Let me finish
00:11:05some things up and we'll get you home.
00:11:11You know,
00:11:13my pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:15You always walk?
00:11:17Well, legally, I've been riding.
00:11:19You walking to my camp?
00:11:21No.
00:11:23I got a horse to give the will to.
00:11:25Well, he's still a little green,
00:11:27testy.
00:11:29I've been breaking him,
00:11:31getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:33Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:35I know nothing of saddle horses.
00:11:37Only harness broke.
00:11:39I stick with wagons.
00:11:41You're better for it.
00:11:43I really wish you would just sit down
00:11:45after what happened today.
00:11:47What happened today?
00:11:49Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:51And that's coming from the doctor, I mean.
00:11:53Go home and we'll deliver your baby.
00:11:55My mother-in-law. She's a midwife.
00:11:57Well, I wish I was the one delivering your baby.
00:11:59It's a doctor's job, after all.
00:12:01I'm sure it's gonna be fine.
00:12:05Ladies,
00:12:07if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:15And you must be Joshua.
00:12:17Welcome to our home.
00:12:19Uh, that's Dr. Owens.
00:12:21You're a doctor?
00:12:23Yes, as is my best friend,
00:12:25Dr. Annie Watson.
00:12:27It's a pleasure to meet you, Joshua.
00:12:29Ma'am, it's funny.
00:12:31I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:33Allowed?
00:12:35No, I just...
00:12:37And just who do we need permission from?
00:12:39Go easy on him, Lil. He just got here.
00:12:41I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:43Apparently not.
00:12:45That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:47We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:49You'll get used to it.
00:12:51Oh, now.
00:12:53Let's go get washed up.
00:12:57Smells like my favorite.
00:12:59Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:13:01Indeed.
00:13:15Miss Owens?
00:13:17Mr. Coyle.
00:13:19I just want you to know...
00:13:21I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:25I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:27Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:31I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:33Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:35They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:37A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:39I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:41I swear.
00:13:43It's just, well...
00:13:45I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:47I'm apologizing.
00:13:49I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:51Apology accepted.
00:13:57Well, I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:13:59Well, this isn't for school.
00:14:01So you read for fun?
00:14:03I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa let me.
00:14:05Well, all right.
00:14:07I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:13Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:29Nice young man.
00:14:31I hadn't noticed.
00:14:33Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:35Good night, Pa.
00:14:49Come in.
00:14:53How are you?
00:14:55I feel fine.
00:14:57How are you?
00:14:59I feel fine.
00:15:11Is everything all right?
00:15:13I can't get it.
00:15:15Can you help me out?
00:15:17Can we just sit down?
00:15:19Just sit.
00:15:21I think Lou's so disappointed.
00:15:23Did you hear that?
00:15:25I think he's...
00:15:27Did you hear that?
00:15:29He says he's fine.
00:15:31He says he's fine.
00:15:33He says he's fine.
00:15:35He says he's fine.
00:15:37He's fine.
00:15:49What is it?
00:15:51It's nothing.
00:15:53It's nothing.
00:16:01It's a nice way to go.
00:16:21It's a nice way to go.
00:16:51It's okay.
00:16:53It's gonna be all right.
00:16:55It's okay.
00:16:57Amy?
00:16:59Are you all right?
00:17:05It's okay.
00:17:07It's just a little...
00:17:11I'm so sorry.
00:17:13I shouldn't have asked.
00:17:17I shouldn't have asked.
00:17:19Did she have a seizure?
00:17:26No, but she has all the other symptoms.
00:17:28Well, I'll telegraph Peter first thing in the morning.
00:17:31Tell him what's happened.
00:17:33And let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:17:37Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:38While I'm at it, I'll wire his mother.
00:17:40You said she lives in Spartan?
00:17:44Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:46Total rest for you, Mrs. Watson, in a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:50To being lazy, you mean.
00:17:52I cannot just lay around all day.
00:17:54I'm a doctor, remember?
00:17:55But I am your doctor, and this is my home.
00:17:57And if it is enclampsia, you know bed rest is called for.
00:18:00Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:02Perhaps.
00:18:03But if I'm not, I won't be sorry later.
00:18:06I love you.
00:18:08I love you, too.
00:18:17Prepare for my peach.
00:18:21Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with Aunt Annie?
00:18:23No, you just run along to school.
00:18:25I'll post a note on the clinic, and if someone really needs me, they know where to find me.
00:18:29Morning, ladies.
00:18:30Morning.
00:18:32Bye, Ma.
00:18:33Have a good day.
00:18:34Bye.
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 cloud of dust everywhere she goes.
00:18:45Here you go.
00:18:49Is this your way of telling me not to come home for supper?
00:18:51The other one is for Joshua.
00:18:53A young man just starting off.
00:18:55Look 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.
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, is better served staying here until after the delivery.
00:19:30I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:32Lee Owens.
00:19:35Appreciate it.
00:19:44Jacko.
00:19:45Mr. McQueen.
00:19:46Sorry, we're closed today, but 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.
00:20:02I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:04I can heal my sister with tonic.
00:20:06I don't know the details of your sister's death, but there's no magic to it.
00:20:11Your wife had a baby a month ago, and she has a very serious medical condition.
00:20:15Maybe if you weren't so hard-headed, you would realize that.
00:20:18Now, my advice is...
00:20:19I don't need your mouth nor your advice, and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:22Doctors aren't 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.
00:20:35Lloyd McQueen is truly set in his ways, but 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. I 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 just 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, but...
00:21:26She was adopted. Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:29I never would have known.
00:21:31I mean, she and Mrs... I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:36That's fair.
00:21:37Yeah, I mean, it's just... Lillian'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... heat?
00:22:24How do you know it's a boy?
00:22:26I know it sounds silly, but Mary 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 she 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, Blinda. Don't 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.
00:23:12I'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 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?
00:23:41You'd best get supper ready. Lee and Lillian will be home soon.
00:23:45I'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've heard that before.
00:24:24You 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 Lil.
00:24:38I don't want the two of them spending too much time together.
00:24:41Why 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.
00:24:50I spent the last five years trying to figure out how I tricked you into marrying me.
00:24:54You could have done much better.
00:24:56You didn't trick me into anything.
00:24:58I married you because I fell in love with you, Leo.
00:25:01And 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.
00:25:07Besides, telling Lillian she can't have something is like daring to try to stop her.
00:25:16I get your point.
00:25:18I don't want to get in the way of her happiness.
00:25:20Still, you left this small town to follow your dream.
00:25:25And 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 Saxon.
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.
00:25:48Okay.
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.
00:26:16I don't want to be late for school.
00:26:18I can teach you more than any school can.
00:26:21Excuse 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.
00:26:35Knock 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.
00:26:41So after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:47Ah!
00:26:50That 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.
00:26:55Please, don't break it.
00:26:56I trust I'll never see you around Miss Owens again.
00:26:58No, never.
00:27:00Good.
00:27:01Now, get.
00:27:13Morning, Miss Owens.
00:27:14You 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 her, all right?
00:27:31Your boss strikes me as a hard-working man.
00:27:33He lives and breathes work.
00:27:35Ma says sometimes he rolls over in his sleep
00:27:37and tries to use her arms like a set of tongs.
00:27:39I guess that's the future I have to look forward to.
00:27:42Not such a bad life, really.
00:27:47It's wonderful to see you.
00:27:48You too.
00:27:49You too.
00:27:50You too.
00:27:51You too.
00:27:52You too.
00:27:53You too.
00:27:54You too.
00:27:55You too.
00:27:56You too.
00:27:57You too.
00:27:58You too.
00:28:00So what about you?
00:28:01Are you going to become a doctor like your ma?
00:28:04I don't know.
00:28:05I 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?
00:28:50I would know that voice anywhere.
00:28:52That's Mary.
00:28:53Your mother-in-law?
00:28:54What reason does she have to be here?
00:28:56Mary doesn't need a reason to do anything.
00:29:11Well, this must be it.
00:29:16Thank you, my good man.
00:29:18And you have a blessed day.
00:29:21And you must be the infamous Doc Owens.
00:29:25Infamous?
00:29:26Mary Watson.
00:29:28But you knew that already.
00:29:30Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:33Would you be a dear and bring my things along?
00:29:42Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:44Where else would you expect me to be, oh, my little lamb?
00:29:48But didn't you get the telegraph from Belinda's husband?
00:29:50I did. That's why I'm here.
00:29:52I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend.
00:29:55But I certainly wasn't going to miss the birth of my first grandson.
00:30:00I'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.
00:30:09She needs light.
00:30:11All right, Doc.
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,
00:30:19she'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.
00:30:47Oh.
00:30:53There 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?
00:31:09Oh, the little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:31:14Unfortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:17Women giving birth are always an emergency.
00:31:21That's the penalty we pay for eating the apple.
00:31:26It is not a penalty.
00:31:28Wow, 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?
00:31:37You'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.
00:31:43That.
00:31:44Honestly, Mary, you can't possibly.
00:31:46Actually, I am a little tired.
00:31:48I'm going to go to bed.
00:31:51I can manage on my own.
00:31:53Good night, all.
00:31:55Good night, Annie.
00:31:56Rest well, dear.
00:31:57Good night, Annie.
00:31:58Good 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.
00:32:14Thank you for dinner, Dr. Holmes.
00:32:18Joshua, William told us that you came to our rescue.
00:32:22Our mother and I both appreciate it.
00:32:24It was my pleasure, sir.
00:32:25Thank you again.
00:32:29I'll walk you out.
00:32:31Aren't they the most adorable couple?
00:32:36So tell me, how was Captain Nemo this evening?
00:32:40When I left him, he was exploring the ruins of Atlantis.
00:32:43Although I can't say for sure what he does when I'm not looking.
00:32:46I never met a girl who made a book sound so interesting.
00:32:49You can borrow it if you like.
00:32:51No, no.
00:32:52I don't need it.
00:32:53I don't need it.
00:32:54I don't need it.
00:32:55I don't need it.
00:32:56I don't need it.
00:32:57I don't need it.
00:32:58I don't need it.
00:32:59You can borrow it if you like.
00:33:00No, 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 we can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:33:17I think I know just the place.
00:33:20Lee Owens, you are not spying on our only daughter.
00:33:22I'm not spying on her.
00:33:23I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:29Good night.
00:33:32Good 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.
00:34:07Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you, maybe 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 you from her goals.
00:34:23I promise I'll be respectful of her not getting in the way of her schooling.
00:34:26I know how much she wants to go to college.
00:34:29Well, I'll think about it. All right?
00:34:33I understand.
00:34:35In the meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:39Hillary 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.
00:34:50You know, I wish the two of you wouldn't talk about me as if I wasn't sitting right here.
00:34:55Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:57You must be so frustrated, pooped up inside all the time.
00:35:02I will be here with her all day.
00:35:06You tend to your patients, and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:12If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:17Have a nice day.
00:35:21Praise the Lord, we're free.
00:35:25Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:28We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:33Tripping to town.
00:35:43Doc Owens, can I talk to you?
00:35:46Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:50I only have a minute.
00:35:52I left Lloyd at the general store, said I was running to the butcher.
00:35:55What can I do for you, Mabel?
00:35:57Doc, I feel terrible.
00:35:59This sickness, it's just getting worse.
00:36:01I'm dizzy all the time, and I can barely pick up the youngins.
00:36:03That's because your anemia is getting worse.
00:36:05Your body needs iron.
00:36:07You're only going to get sicker.
00:36:09What can I do to make it better?
00:36:11I already told you.
00:36:13Vegetables or the tonic.
00:36:15If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:17I tried to take the tonic, really, I did.
00:36:18But it didn't feel a little stronger.
00:36:20And then Lloyd found it, and you know the rest.
00:36:23I certainly do.
00:36:25He threw a bottle at me.
00:36:27I'm sorry for that.
00:36:29Really, I am.
00:36:31He was just upset.
00:36:33He didn't mean anything by it.
00:36:35He's a wonderful husband and a father.
00:36:37Maybe.
00:36:39But I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
00:36:41Okay, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:49Okay.
00:37:02Your friend Belinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:37:05I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me, but everybody likes me.
00:37:10She isn't happy.
00:37:12She's been trying to have a baby.
00:37:14And Belinda just feels discouraged.
00:37:16Me showing up in my condition and staying till the baby comes.
00:37:20I think it's just another painful reminder.
00:37:23Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:37:26If it's baby trouble she's got, I've surely got the cure.
00:37:31How about a sugary treat?
00:37:36I'm sorry, Lloyd, it isn't here yet.
00:37:39It's been over a week.
00:37:41You said it'd be here by now.
00:37:43The freight line lost the ship in order.
00:37:44There's nothing I can do about it.
00:37:46There's something I could do if there was another general store within ten miles of here.
00:37:50It'll be here within a week.
00:37:52I'm here, Lloyd.
00:37:55What took you so long?
00:37:57I'm sorry, Lloyd, there was a little bit of a line.
00:37:59There's always an excuse.
00:38:01Let's get out of here, I've got fences to mend before sundown.
00:38:09Ma'am!
00:38:11Ma'am!
00:38:13Ma'am!
00:38:15Ma'am!
00:38:17She's just feeling poorly at late.
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.
00:38:35I know how to take care of my wife.
00:38:37No, you don't.
00:38:39You are selfish.
00:38:41And rude.
00:38:43And contemptuous.
00:38:45And you can't see the forest for the trees.
00:38:47Doc Owens is trying to save your wife's life.
00:38:50She'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.
00:39:04You better pray to the merciful and good Lord
00:39:08that she doesn't slam the door in your ungrateful face.
00:39:13Amen.
00:39:15Amen.
00:39:29Gave you a double dose.
00:39:30Do not take any more today.
00:39:32No, ma'am.
00:39:34Starting tomorrow morning, take two teaspoons every morning.
00:39:36And if you don't get your strength back in four days,
00:39:38get back in here.
00:39:44I'd like to apologize.
00:39:46The last time we spoke, I lost my temper.
00:39:49What do I owe you for the tonic?
00:39:51Only that you allow her to keep taking it.
00:39:53You don't need no charity.
00:39:55The first one was already paid for.
00:39:57This is just a replacement.
00:39:58Step up!
00:40:17Yes, dear?
00:40:19I'm sorry. You're sleeping?
00:40:21Well, not anymore.
00:40:24My apprentice wants to court Lily.
00:40:26His name is Joshua.
00:40:29I told him not to think about it.
00:40:32Well, then think.
00:40:35But don't think too long.
00:40:37Lillian's grown up.
00:40:39I'm having a hard time with it.
00:40:41You're having a hard time letting her grow up.
00:40:44I'm just trying to protect her.
00:40:46I don't think she needs protection from Joshua.
00:40:49He's a very nice young man.
00:40:51That's all you have to say about it?
00:40:53No.
00:40:54That's all you have to say about it?
00:40:57Good night, sweetheart.
00:41:03All right.
00:41:05Tomorrow I'll give Joshua my permission to court Lil.
00:41:10I think I don't know about your little excursion with Annie.
00:41:13This town is filled with gossips.
00:41:15You can't keep a secret for more than five minutes.
00:41:17It's a pretty little town, Sykeston.
00:41:19I can see why you like it here.
00:41:21May I ask why you feel the need to go against every instruction I have for Annie?
00:41:26I know.
00:41:28I know.
00:41:30I know.
00:41:32I know.
00:41:34I know.
00:41:36I know.
00:41:37I don't 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.
00:41:53That's your business.
00:41:55Babies are my business.
00:41:58Have been for 30 years.
00:42:00It's just there's been so many new advancements.
00:42:02Sometimes the old ways are best.
00:42:04Annie may have a serious condition,
00:42:06which could be fatal to both her and the baby.
00:42:08Are you sure?
00:42:10Of course I'm not sure, but I'm not taking any chances.
00:42:12So it's true what they say,
00:42:14that doctors only practice medicine.
00:42:19This conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere.
00:42:23So Annie tells me you're barren.
00:42:26Or having trouble anyway.
00:42:29I don't think that's any of your concern.
00:42:31I see this problem a lot.
00:42:32If you want, I could give you some remedies
00:42:34that are guaranteed to work.
00:42:36I know how it's done, Mary.
00:42:38I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
00:42:40So what do you think is the problem?
00:42:42You're too high strung.
00:42:44Folks worry too much about work, family,
00:42:47or whether or not they can have a baby.
00:42:50Then years go by and nothing happens.
00:42:53Then one day, they decide to stop trying,
00:42:56and before you know it,
00:42:58they find they're with child.
00:42:59So your sage advice for me is to relax.
00:43:03Read a book before you go to bed.
00:43:06Take some deep breaths.
00:43:09And before you know it,
00:43:11I'll be back to deliver your little one.
00:43:13I'll make sure I try that.
00:43:15Every baby boy needs his own blanket.
00:43:18Don't you agree?
00:43:20Yes, I do.
00:43:24I'm going to go to bed.
00:43:26Good night.
00:43:28Good night.
00:43:30Good night.
00:43:32Good night.
00:43:34Good night.
00:43:36Good night.
00:43:38Good night.
00:43:40Good night.
00:43:42Good night.
00:43:44Good night.
00:43:49I'm going to head to the shop for a few hours.
00:43:51I'll be back in time for supper.
00:43:53Don't you ever take time off?
00:43:55Oh, the good book says that a man who doesn't work
00:43:57doesn't deserve to eat.
00:43:59I ain't got a lot of work to do.
00:44:01We just thought you'd have more time off
00:44:03once you hired an apprentice.
00:44:05And I do.
00:44:07Now I'm only two weeks behind instead of six.
00:44:09Lillian, you look lovely.
00:44:11Where are you headed off to?
00:44:12You enjoy yourself,
00:44:14and please tell Joshua that we said hello.
00:44:16I will.
00:44:18You'll be back in time for supper now, no exceptions.
00:44:20I will, I promise.
00:44:22Bye, everyone.
00:44:24Bye, dear.
00:44:38I love it.
00:44:40The sea is everything.
00:44:42Its breath is pure and healthy.
00:44:44It is an immense desert
00:44:46where man is never lonely,
00:44:48for he feels life stirring on all sides.
00:44:50The sea is the only embodiment
00:44:52of a supernatural and wonderful existence.
00:44:54It is nothing but love and emotion.
00:44:56It's living and infinite,
00:44:58as one of your poets has said.
00:45:01I've been reading for almost two hours.
00:45:03You must be bored.
00:45:05No, I don't think I can ever get bored
00:45:07of listening to you talk.
00:45:09You're just saying that.
00:45:10It's just...
00:45:12I'd like this Captain Nemo
00:45:14if he weren't holding his friends hostage all the time.
00:45:16Well, I can't let them go,
00:45:18and they might tell the world who he is.
00:45:2020,000 leagues is an allegory.
00:45:22It's about personal freedom.
00:45:24Nemo means nobody in Latin,
00:45:26and he's invisible to the world
00:45:28and wants to keep it that way.
00:45:30You're brilliant. You know that?
00:45:32I am not.
00:45:37Lee?
00:45:38Are 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?
00:45:51This is a lot of rumbling around
00:45:53in my head like a marble.
00:45:55Sometimes it helps to speak it out loud.
00:45:57Talking to yourself only gets
00:45:59the answer you're looking for.
00:46:01I just can't figure Lillian out.
00:46:04I'm trying to be a good father to her.
00:46:06Our children grow up
00:46:08and start spreading their wings.
00:46:10A father has to be aware of that
00:46:12and 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
00:46:22when it comes to raising their children.
00:46:24He's shortchanged fathers in that area.
00:46:26Yeah, yeah.
00:46:34I really wish you would get some rest.
00:46:36I feel fine.
00:46:38Looks like someone may have been wrong
00:46:40about my condition.
00:46:42Perhaps.
00:46:44So, have things improved with Lee?
00:46:47He says he isn't bothered,
00:46:49but I still sense that he's disappointed
00:46:51we can't have a baby.
00:46:53Well, maybe you're just being overly sensitive
00:46:55and you think that he's disappointed.
00:46:57Maybe.
00:46:59You know, I'm starting to think
00:47:01that maybe she regrets marrying me.
00:47:03Now, Lee, that is just plain nonsense.
00:47:05She's proud as a peacock
00:47:06that she married you.
00:47:08Maybe.
00:47:10Have you spoken to her about it?
00:47:12In a roundabout way.
00:47:14Of 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.
00:47:22Hmm.
00:47:24You know, we're, uh,
00:47:26we're trying to have a baby.
00:47:28So far, no luck.
00:47:30You have to have faith.
00:47:33Sometimes it's hard, Reverend.
00:47:34Talk to her about your feelings.
00:47:38I'd best be getting home.
00:47:40Mrs. Daves will give me an earful
00:47:42if I'm late for supper.
00:47:44Myself included.
00:47:51Well, I see.
00:47:53You didn't need my help
00:47:55putting supper on the table.
00:47:57You'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.
00:48:02Give me that knife
00:48:04before you cut yourself.
00:48:12So, do you miss your family?
00:48:14I do.
00:48:16My pa's a farmer back in Pennsylvania.
00:48:18He wanted more for me
00:48:20than to spend my entire life plowing fields.
00:48:22So, he said if I got good enough,
00:48:24maybe I can find some work in Philadelphia.
00:48:26Sounds like he cares about you a lot.
00:48:28Yeah, my family's pretty close.
00:48:30It's kind of weird
00:48:32being out here all by myself.
00:48:34I have three sisters and two brothers
00:48:36and not a moment of peace.
00:48:38Back at the boarding house,
00:48:40I got nothing but quiet.
00:48:42I know what you mean.
00:48:44I mostly grew up in an orphanage
00:48:46until Ma and Pa adopted me when I was ten.
00:48:48I'd spent so long in a room with other kids,
00:48:50I couldn't wait to have a room of my own.
00:48:52Now I miss having someone to talk to.
00:48:54Yeah, me.
00:48:56I do, don't I?
00:48:59So, tell me something.
00:49:00How'd you ever find a place like this anyway?
00:49:03I stumbled across it by accident
00:49:05while riding one day.
00:49:07And it's so far off the main roads,
00:49:09no one really comes out here.
00:49:11So, I brought some of my old stuff
00:49:13and now it's where I come to be alone.
00:49:15I can see why.
00:49:17Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean
00:49:19where he went to escape.
00:49:21This reminds me of it.
00:49:23Well, the timber still seems...
00:49:25I wouldn't do that.
00:49:27Whoa!
00:49:29Not as sound as you might think.
00:49:32You're probably right.
00:49:34I think it's best we pack up.
00:49:40Well, I'm happy to see you and Mary are getting along.
00:49:43You know, her fertility advice to me
00:49:46was to relax and read a book before bed.
00:49:50Did you try it?
00:49:52Of course not.
00:49:54She's been doing this longer than we've been alive.
00:49:55I can't believe you, Annie Watson.
00:49:58You've spent three years in medical school,
00:50:00five years practicing medicine
00:50:02and you're going to believe that woman's folk magic?
00:50:04It's rubbish, plain and simple.
00:50:06We ask people to believe in things
00:50:08they don't understand and they do
00:50:10because they have trust and faith in us.
00:50:13Just like they have faith in the Lord.
00:50:15Okay, it is not the same thing
00:50:17and we're talking about Mary here.
00:50:19Why do you have such a hard time believing in Mary's ways?
00:50:21Okay, Mary is a lovely woman.
00:50:22What do you have to admit?
00:50:24She's a little touch in the head.
00:50:26She doesn't like me any more than I like her.
00:50:28Really?
00:50:30The other day at the general store,
00:50:32Mary defended you to the ends of the earth.
00:50:34What 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.
00:50:42That's why Lloyd McQueen brought his wife back to me?
00:50:45Mary unloaded on him like a tornado.
00:50:47Spoke up for you and just plain made him gower.
00:50:50Come on.
00:50:52Let's go.
00:51:00Do you have any idea what time it is?
00:51:02Hi, Pa.
00:51:04We were supposed to be home for supper.
00:51:06Joshua and I weren't that hungry
00:51:08so we decided to stay out a little while longer.
00:51:10Well, it's well past supper.
00:51:12That's more than a little while.
00:51:14Why are you so angry?
00:51:16I thought I could trust your judgment
00:51:17but 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
00:51:23until I say so.
00:51:25Go to school, help your mother at the clinic
00:51:27and come straight home.
00:51:29For how long?
00:51:31As long as it takes me to trust you again.
00:51:33That's completely unfair.
00:51:35Joshua is only two years older than I am
00:51:37and no one tells him what to do.
00:51:39No one said the world was fair, young lady.
00:51:41Lil.
00:51:43I was worried about you.
00:51:47I'm sorry.
00:52:06Hello, Joshua.
00:52:08Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:52:12Mr. Owens told me how much trouble
00:52:14I caused the other night.
00:52:15I just wanted to come by and say how sorry I am
00:52:17for keeping Lillian out so late.
00:52:19You needn't place the blame all on yourself.
00:52:21She's old enough to know better.
00:52:23No, I'm still sorry.
00:52:25Ma, I can't find the...
00:52:27bandages.
00:52:31Pa said I can't see you for a while.
00:52:33Boss said you couldn't go out with Joshua.
00:52:36He said nothing about the two of you seeing each other.
00:52:38Thanks, ma.
00:52:43Well, I have work to do.
00:52:45It was nice to see you, Joshua.
00:52:47There's always room open at the dinner table for you.
00:52:50Thank you, ma'am.
00:52:56I'm sorry 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
00:53:02deciding 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.
00:53:08There's no need to be cross, Lillian.
00:53:10I mean, I'll still be here when you get off punishment.
00:53:12I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:14I wanted to return this.
00:53:16I finished it.
00:53:18Already? I just gave it to you.
00:53:20Once I got started, it was hard to quit.
00:53:22I mean, the sun was already up
00:53:24when I finally closed the book.
00:53:26So you stayed up all night just to read about Captain Nemo?
00:53:28No, I don't think I would have gotten much sleep
00:53:30with or without him.
00:53:33I'll be thinking about you.
00:53:35Me too.
00:53:44Mary?
00:53:46In here, dear.
00:53:53Annie, should you be up?
00:53:55Where are you going?
00:53:57I've decided to head on home.
00:53:59I can see you're in good health.
00:54:01I'm sure you'll be fine.
00:54:03I'm sure you'll be fine.
00:54:05I'm sure you'll be fine.
00:54:07I'm sure you'll be fine.
00:54:09I'm sure you'll be fine.
00:54:11I'm sure you'll be fine.
00:54:13Good Hands.
00:54:15You're leaving?
00:54:17Before the baby comes?
00:54:19Oh, you'll do fine.
00:54:21And besides,
00:54:23the last thing you need
00:54:25is an ole Granny Midwife
00:54:27gumming up the works.
00:54:29This doesn't have anything to do
00:54:31with the disagreement between you and Belinda, does it?
00:54:33No, no, no.
00:54:35Truth is
00:54:37I'm feeling homesick.
00:54:39I miss sleeping in my own bed.
00:54:41And
00:54:43My 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 would 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.
00:55:10I'm going to go home to check on Annie. I shouldn't be long.
00:55:13If there's an emergency, just send them my way or come running, which you're very good at.
00:55:18I will, Ma, and thank you.
00:55:20For what?
00:55:21For understanding about me and Joshua.
00:55:23Believe it or not, I was your age once.
00:55:25I'm not going to keep her from church social.
00:55:40You may not be able to go with her, but you'll see her there.
00:55:43In the meantime, we have an order to finish.
00:55:47All right, I like your attitude.
00:55:56You're leaving.
00:55:59Time for me to go home.
00:56:01Sorry to hear that.
00:56:02I'm going to see her off into town.
00:56:04Annie, I just don't think it's a good idea for you to be carrying luggage and walking into town.
00:56:08It was my idea, Belinda.
00:56:10And I've been all over this whole territory through my entire pregnancy.
00:56:13I think I can handle a short walk into town.
00:56:16Doc Owens!
00:56:19Danny.
00:56:23Lillian told me you was here.
00:56:25Ma's in labor.
00:56:26Okay, there's a horse and buggy in the barn. Help me hook it up.
00:56:28Yes, ma'am.
00:56:32I trust you won't walk into town while I'm away.
00:56:35All right, peach pie.
00:56:37You get back in the house and stay put.
00:56:40Belinda and I have a baby to deliver.
00:56:43Mrs. Travis is my patient.
00:56:45If you find you don't need me, you have my permission to just shove me out of the way.
00:56:51You do?
00:56:52I'm there.
00:56:56Fine, but only because I don't have time to argue with you.
00:57:08Thank you, young man.
00:57:14It's never taken this long.
00:57:16The first few hours seemed normal, but then it just stopped.
00:57:18What stopped? The contractions?
00:57:20Doc, 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?
00:57:34We have to get the baby out before it suffocates.
00:57:37We 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, you try it from the outside.
00:57:48All right, help me with her now.
00:57:50That's good.
00:57:51What are we doing?
00:57:53We're gonna flatten out her hip bones.
00:57:57Just try to stay down for me.
00:57:59There.
00:58:00Now, we're gonna see who's stuck and who's not.
00:58:15There.
00:58:30It's gonna be all right.
00:58:36Pa?
00:58:39Pa?
00:58:43Joshua?
00:58:45Where's my pa?
00:58:47He's on delivery and headed home.
00:58:50I'd sure like to go to the ice cream social.
00:58:53I'd sure like to ask you to go with me.
00:58:55So?
00:58:57Your pa said I could see you there.
00:59:00But I can't escort you.
00:59:02I'm sorry.
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.
00:59:31He just doesn't trust me.
00:59:33Your pa had no way of knowing whether you were all right when you didn't make it home on time.
00:59:36You sound just like pa.
00:59:38Ma is the only one who understands.
00:59:41Lillian, wait a second.
00:59:54Get out! Get out!
00:59:56Get out!
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?
01:00:22We got ourselves a baby brother.
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 orders.
01:00:53Doesn't matter who does it, as long as it gets done.
01:01:00I learned something today that they didn't teach me in medical school.
01:01:14I'll get it.
01:01:44All right, whoa.
01:01:46Whoa.
01:01:54Whoa.
01:01:58You seen Lillian?
01:01:59No, why?
01:02:00Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:02:02She's been missing all afternoon.
01:02:04We got in an argument at the shop over Mr. Owens and she stormed off.
01:02:07Said you were the only one who understands her.
01:02:09We were hoping she'd run off to find you.
01:02:12She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:02:15It's about to get dark outside if she gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:19I think I know where she is.
01:02:28Come on.
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?
01:03:24Just up ahead.
01:03:33How are you feeling?
01:03:35I'm really not as lightheaded as before.
01:03:37I'd like to just go to bed.
01:03:40Let's get you upstairs to a darkened room.
01:03:42Doctor's orders.
01:03:54Whoa, whoa, whoa.
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.
01:04:43I see her.
01:04:46Lil!
01:04:50Lil.
01:04:51Give me a hand with this.
01:04:52One, two, three.
01:04:58You got it?
01:05:00Lil.
01:05:02Lil.
01:05:04Come on, talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:12Pa?
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:14I'm here, honey.
01:05:17Just take it easy.
01:05:19Just stay down, all right?
01:05:23I'm gonna get you out of here.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:46How's Lilia?
01:05:50A few cuts and bruises, but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:55She's out for the night.
01:05:57Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:05:59Give her a couple days.
01:06:01She'll be right as rain.
01:06:03At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:06:06Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:06:10This, too, shall pass.
01:06:14Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:18True miracles.
01:06:20Are you still fretting about the baby-making?
01:06:22I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:26Give it up if you want.
01:06:28But I'm telling you, the shine in your hair is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:35You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:37Doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:38Only matters what you believe.
01:06:40What do you mean?
01:06:41Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:45It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:50I'm sorry I doubted you.
01:06:53You didn't deserve it.
01:06:55The Lord says we are to forgive if we expect to be forgiven.
01:07:01Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning, and all is forgiven.
01:07:06I promise.
01:07:16Late night tonight.
01:07:18Everyone's worn out.
01:07:20A little sleeping like a puppy.
01:07:28You know, I think I might read 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.
01:07:47Doc.
01:07:50I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:53Little's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:57And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage who need a good home.
01:08:01You 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?
01:08:18Yeah.
01:08:20Yeah, like the sunrise.
01:08:25I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:29I love you too.
01:08:33Oh, all right, you're gonna read your book now? Okay.
01:08:38All right.
01:08:40I'll just go to sleep.
01:08:48I'm sure I can help you read it or... No? All right.
01:09:01Shouldn't you be in bed?
01:09:03I ball and chain. Let me come downstairs.
01:09:07She has her mind set on going to the ice cream social.
01:09:10What if I find a shady, comfortable place to just sit and eat ice cream?
01:09:14You are not going to the social.
01:09:16I am a doctor. I vote yes.
01:09:18Well, that'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?
01:09:37Don'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.
01:09:45That's right. Read your book and pout.
01:10:00Don't you look beautiful?
01:10:03Except for this.
01:10:04Oh, no one will even notice that.
01:10:06Even Joshua?
01:10:07Especially Joshua.
01:10:09Thanks for telling Joshua he can escort me to the social.
01:10:12You're still coming with your mother and I, right?
01:10:14I told him I wanted to walk in with my family and see him from afar.
01:10:17That's very romantic.
01:10:19Must be from all the books I read.
01:10:22Pa.
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.
01:10:37Come here.
01:11:03Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:11:05No, thank you.
01:11:06No, thank you, Joshua.
01:11:14Hey, partner.
01:11:15How's your ice cream?
01:11:17Dr. Owens, can we talk?
01:11:19What?
01:11:20Maybe you know my husband, Lee?
01:11:23Gordon.
01:11:24Lorna, thank you.
01:11:26Mabel's as different as night and day.
01:11:28It's all I can do to keep up with her.
01:11:30Well, you do look like a brand new person.
01:11:32You've had a lot more energy.
01:11:34I still need some extra sleep in the afternoons.
01:11:36I'm getting stronger every day.
01:11:38Well, the best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed or received with a joyful spirit.
01:11:43It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:45Well, I, uh, I mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:51Thanks again, Dr. Owens.
01:11:53It was my pleasure.
01:11:54And I should be the one to apologize to you, Mabel.
01:11:58I had no right to be cross with you when you needed my help.
01:12:01I hope you can forgive me.
01:12:03Forgive?
01:12:07Have a good day.
01:12:12Wow.
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.
01:12:34I got Lee's telegram. Where's Annie?
01:12:36The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:38Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:40I need Belinda now.
01:12:42I want to see Annie.
01:12:44Get Belinda now.
01:12:50You look beautiful.
01:12:52Say that again.
01:12:54Handsome.
01:12:56I still can't believe it.
01:12:58Can't believe what?
01:13:00That I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:04That's very sweet of you to say, Joshua.
01:13:20Lillian's got a boyfriend, Lillian's got a boyfriend
01:13:24Lillian's got a boyfriend, Lillian's got a boyfriend
01:13:28Lillian's got a boyfriend, Lillian's got a boyfriend
01:13:31Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:42Belinda, Dr. Owens, I need you!
01:13:51Belinda!
01:13:52Peter.
01:13:53It's Annie. You gotta come quick.
01:13:55Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:14:08Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:10She's had a seizure. I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete, you're the best way down here.
01:14:18There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:28Dear Lord, please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:36Amen.
01:14:37Amen.
01:14:39Thank you, Lee.
01:14:40You're welcome.
01:14:42Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:45Peter?
01:14:46He's waiting downstairs.
01:14:49Right.
01:14:51It is eclipsing.
01:14:53I'm afraid so.
01:14:57Please save my baby.
01:15:00You know what you have to do.
01:15:03I'm sorry.
01:15:05I'm sorry.
01:15:07I'm sorry.
01:15:09I'm sorry.
01:15:11I'm sorry.
01:15:12You know what you have to do.
01:15:22I'm gonna close my eyes now.
01:15:36What did she mean?
01:15:38You know what has to be done.
01:15:40That baby has to come out if we're to save it.
01:15:43Even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:45That baby is ready.
01:15:47She was talking about a cesarean delivery.
01:15:50Which I could do at the clinic but under very crude conditions.
01:15:54Have you ever done one?
01:15:56I did one once at a hospital in Boston.
01:15:59But I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:16:02And there was an eclampsia involved.
01:16:04Is there no other choice?
01:16:07Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:16:10Well then, we best get that labor going.
01:16:18What is that?
01:16:20Scotch broom with a little vanilla to help it go down.
01:16:24Women have been using it for centuries.
01:16:26Scotch broom is a weed?
01:16:28A weed the good Lord made.
01:16:30His wonders to perceive.
01:16:32Does it work?
01:16:33Sure 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.
01:17:06A 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.
01:17:35One more time.
01:17:37We could lose Annie and the baby.
01:17:40Do you have everything here that you need to do a cesarean delivery?
01:17:50How 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?
01:18:05Yes.
01:18:16Any news?
01:18:17Nothing yet.
01:18:19I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:36Help!
01:18:40You're doing fine, Annie. Just keep breathing.
01:18:47Contractions. Closer together.
01:18:49We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family.
01:18:54It's all right. It's all right.
01:18:56Keep breathing. Good. Good.
01:19:05Keep breathing.
01:19:23Congratulations, Uncle Peter.
01:19:30She's so beautiful.
01:19:32I've delivered hundreds of babies, but I've never seen one this perfect.
01:19:38And I'm not just saying that because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:41I thought she was a boy.
01:19:44She carried like a boy.
01:19:46We learn, don't we, Doc?
01:19:48We sure do.
01:19:50Thank you both for being here.
01:19:52There's no other place we'd rather be.
01:19:58Is it okay if I come in?
01:20:03Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:12Can I hold her?
01:20:15Come sit.
01:20:32I love you.
01:20:49I brought you a present.
01:20:51A present?
01:20:53These 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?
01:21:07I should probably get going.
01:21:09Okay. Will I see you later?
01:21:13Sure is this one fine day.
01:21:16Come on, help me out here.
01:21:27Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter, I could use a little helping here.
01:21:31I'm coming.
01:21:35Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us and the love which envelops us.
01:21:40May we always strive to walk the way you like and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:46Amen.
01:21:58Hey, are you all right?
01:22:00I'm fine. Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:03I've gotten so used to you being at the house, it's going to be too quiet when we're gone.
01:22:07It's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:10I think it's time we go home.
01:22:12I'm going to miss you so very much.
01:22:14And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:21What are you doing out here?
01:22:23Oh, I was just getting some fresh air, talking to Annie.
01:22:26You're going to miss her, aren't you?
01:22:28Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:32Let's enjoy her while we can.
01:22:38Thank you very much, Lee.
01:22:40It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:42And Belinda, I can never thank you enough.
01:22:45Well, I wish I could take all the credit, but I had some expert help.
01:22:49This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:52I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:55Me too.
01:22:57All aboard, folks! We're burning daylight!
01:22:59I think it's about that time.
01:23:01Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:03Of course.
01:23:06Bye, you two.
01:23:08Bye.
01:23:35Janelle.
01:23:37All right, take her easy there.
01:23:42Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:46How do I thank you, Mary?
01:23:48Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:53I learned a lot from you.
01:23:55And I from you.
01:23:57I may bring them into the world,
01:23:59but 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.
01:24:22Oh, young man, I'm gonna need a hand here.
01:24:25All right. Here we go.
01:24:27Wait a minute. One, two, three.
01:24:29Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:33Well, Commodore, are we staying home with the tide?
01:24:37I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:39Yes, ma'am.
01:24:41Hyah! Get out!
01:24:43Get!
01:24:58What were you and Mary whispering to each other?
01:25:00I was just telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:07You mean...
01:25:09Mm-hmm.
01:25:11Are you sure?
01:25:13I'm a doctor.
01:25:15I know a pregnant woman when I see one,
01:25:17especially when I am one.
01:25:21Hey.
01:25:23We're gonna have a baby.
01:25:25Baby?
01:25:27We're gonna have a baby.
01:25:30Lillian Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:32Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:34Yes, ma'am.
01:25:37Joshua Coyle, don't just stand there and gawk.
01:25:39You've got a job to do.
01:25:41Yes, ma'am.
01:25:45I've got patients to attend to and baby plans to make.
01:25:51Uh, now wait up.
01:25:53Now wait up.
01:25:55Now wait up, Ben.
01:25:58How far along are you?
01:26:01Now I'm serious.
01:26:03Well, we've got to start talking about an age, really.
01:26:06I mean, I'd like Lee for a boy.
01:26:08Oh, you think it's gonna be a boy?
01:26:10Or, uh, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl.
01:26:12What do you think?
01:26:13Oh, that's very pretty.
01:26:14Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
01:26:16What do you think?
01:26:17All right, now hold on. I'm gonna get the door for you.
01:26:19Oh, Lee, my goodness.
01:26:21Stop it.
