00:00:01But 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, the baby.
00:00:12We'll see you in a few weeks, Mother.
00:00:13All 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!
00:00:32Skip 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 plum 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.
00:01:26About five months ago.
00:01:32Your mouth, please.
00:01:39Dums 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.
00:01:48It's common with new mothers.
00:01:50When the baby was inside of you, he took most of your iron.
00:01:53So it's nothing serious, then?
00:01:55Oh, it's very serious.
00:01:56What took you so long to come to me?
00:01:58Well, you see, my husband doesn't think I'm really sick.
00:02:01He says I'm just lazy.
00:02:03You take care of six children and a husband while you work harder than he does.
00:02:07Lloyd's a good man, Doc Owens.
00:02:08Really, he is.
00:02:09He just don't trust doctors.
00:02:11Not since his sister died.
00:02:14Is there a tonic I can take for this anemia?
00:02:16There is a tonic, but eating vegetables would be much more effective.
00:02:19Lloyd doesn't really like all those vegetables.
00:02:22He prefers his meat and potatoes.
00:02:33You take 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.
00:02:56Hello, Lee.
00:02:58Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:59You're eating that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:01Well, I'm just trying to wear him down for the ride home.
00:03:05You're here early, you're here late.
00:03:07Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going.
00:03:09Aren't you expecting company?
00:03:11My wife's best friend from medical school.
00:03:13Well, she 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.
00:03:21Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:23Take your hand to the doctor.
00:03:27All finished?
00:03:29It'll be $2 for the doctor and 50 cents for the medicine.
00:03:32I'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?
00:03:53That's very kind of you.
00:03:55Don't mention it, Mrs. McQueen.
00:03:57Can you tell her I'll be by with that medicine?
00:04:01I will absolutely.
00:04:02Very good to see you.
00:04:03Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:04:05How do you take care of yourself?
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:07All right, pal.
00:04:08Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:10Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:11Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:12Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:18I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:20That's a perfect child.
00:04:21Here it comes.
00:04:22Easy.
00:04:23Hey!
00:04:24Settle down now.
00:04:25Settle.
00:04:26Settle.
00:04:27Easy now.
00:04:28I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:29Come on.
00:04:30Come on.
00:04:31Come on.
00:04:46Come on.
00:04:50Aunt Annie's here.
00:04:51Aunt Annie's here.
00:04:59Aunt Annie!
00:05:00Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:02No.
00:05:04She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:06Sure, she looks very round.
00:05:09I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:11Oh, let me get that.
00:05:13Oh, it's fine.
00:05:15Everyone treats me like a China doll.
00:05:16I'm not going to break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:20Me too.
00:05:23I 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.
00:05:32I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:34But you're mine at ease, Pete.
00:05:36We'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.
00:05:44How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:46Broken bones and bee stings, anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:49Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:51The town loves Mom.
00:05:52They 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 Lee will help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:02All right, sir.
00:06:19It's good having Annie here.
00:06:20It is.
00:06:23She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:24I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:27Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:30I'm right here.
00:06:31Well, 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?
00:06:39What's wrong?
00:06:41I'm not pregnant.
00:06:42Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:45We've tried for so long.
00:06:47We have more than we can handle with Lill.
00:06:48Oh, I know, but...
00:06:52It's just that when Annie found out the news, it made me want a baby of her own even more.
00:06:59And...
00:07:00Now that she's staying with us...
00:07:04No.
00:07:08We are going to have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:12And all good things come in God's time, and...
00:07:14Maybe 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?
00:07:35Come on.
00:07:44I guess I'd best be leaving now.
00:07:50Peter, please be careful.
00:07:52Yes.
00:07:53My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:56I love you.
00:07:57I love you too.
00:08:02Bye, ladies.
00:08:04Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:05Will be.
00:08:07Step up!
00:08:08Step up!
00:08:14Check on the team, Mike.
00:08:42Welcome home, darling.
00:08:43Oh, thank you for you.
00:08:46How was the chance?
00:08:48Yes.
00:08:52You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:08:59Lee Owens.
00:09:00Welcome, Saxton.
00:09:01How's your trip?
00:09:02Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:09:05Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:09:06Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:08Yes, sir.
00:09:09Well, Saxton's a nice little town.
00:09:11I hope you like it.
00:09:12I expect so.
00:09:14Can I help you with your things?
00:09:15Don't have much.
00:09:18All right.
00:09:19Come on, let me show you the shop.
00:09:20Sounds good.
00:09:23So we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:26Liberty work and rolling stock.
00:09:28Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:30Now, when your blows are even and you can work a straight piece of metal, those will be your tools.
00:09:37It's hard work.
00:09:38But you managed to make something that lasts a generation or two.
00:09:41Well, 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?
00:09:49Yes, sir.
00:09:50All right, then.
00:09:51How was your walk?
00:10:01You're carrying around a 30-pound sack of flour.
00:10:04Slow day?
00:10:05Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone comes in from getting caught on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder.
00:10:12You know, when I was traveling through Selina last month, there was a rash of copperhead snake bites.
00:10:16It felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:19I haven't had anything as exciting as a snake bite in months.
00:10:23You should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve.
00:10:27It's our job as doctors to care about even the most minor illness or affliction.
00:10:31And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:35That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:39Linda, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:42You can tell me anything. You know that.
00:10:46Oh!
00:10:48What is it?
00:10:49It's a quick, sharp pain and shortness of breath and minor faintness.
00:10:54Let's get you to an examination.
00:10:56It's not necessary.
00:10:57Is the baby moving?
00:10:59It isn't that.
00:11:01It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:04Let me finish some things up and we'll get you on.
00:11:12You know, my pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:16You always walk?
00:11:17Well, legally, I've been riding.
00:11:19You walking to my camp?
00:11:21No.
00:11:22No.
00:11:23I ain't got a horse to give to Little Ant.
00:11:25But he's still a little green.
00:11:27Pesty.
00:11:28I've been breaking him, getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:32Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:35I know nothing of saddle horses.
00:11:37Only harness, bro.
00:11:39I stick with wagons.
00:11:40You'd better pour it.
00:11:43I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:46What happened today?
00:11:48Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:50And that's coming from the doctor.
00:11:51When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:54My mother-in-law.
00:11:55She's a midwife.
00:11:56Well, 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 going to be fine.
00:12:05Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:08And you must be Joshua.
00:12:16Welcome to her home.
00:12:17Very nice to meet you, Ms. Owens.
00:12:19Uh, that's Dr. Owens.
00:12:22You're a doctor?
00:12:23Yes, 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.
00:12:30I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:33Allowed?
00:12:34No, I just...
00:12:35And just who would we need permission from?
00:12:36Go easy on him, Lily.
00:12:38Lily just got here.
00:12:39I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:42Apparently not.
00:12:48That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:49We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:51You'll get used to it.
00:12:54Well, now.
00:12:56Let's go get washed up.
00:12:59Smells like my favorite.
00:13:01Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:13:03Indeed.
00:13:08Miss Owens?
00:13:19Mr. Coyle?
00:13:21I just want you to know...
00:13:23I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:25I 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.
00:13:37They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:40A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:42Well, I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:45I swear.
00:13:45It's just...
00:13:47Well...
00:13:48I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:51I'm apologizing.
00:13:53I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:55Apology accepted.
00:14:01I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:02Well, 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.
00:14:09Well, all right.
00:14:11I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:13Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:32Nice young man.
00:14:34I hadn't noticed.
00:14:38Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:40Good night, Pa.
00:14:43Come in.
00:14:59How are you?
00:15:01I feel so...
00:15:02It's all in the right.
00:15:15I can't get...
00:15:17It's okay.
00:15:18Can we help?
00:15:20Can we just sit down?
00:15:21Just...
00:15:24I think Lou's so disappointed.
00:15:26It's okay.
00:15:26It's okay.
00:15:26It's okay.
00:15:28It's okay.
00:15:29It's okay.
00:15:29It's fine.
00:15:30It's fine.
00:15:32It's okay.
00:15:32It's okay.
00:15:33It's okay.
00:15:33Can we help?
00:15:36It's okay.
00:15:37What is...
00:15:49It's almost a game.
00:16:00It's almost a game.
00:16:07It's almost a game.
00:16:37It's almost a game.
00:17:07It's almost a game.
00:17:37It's almost a game.
00:17:39It's almost a game.
00:17:41It's almost a game.
00:17:43It's almost a game.
00:17:45It's almost a game.
00:17:47Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:50Total rest for you, Mrs. Watson, in a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:54To being lazy, you mean.
00:17:55I cannot just lay around all day.
00:17:58I'm a doctor, remember?
00:17:59But I am your doctor, and this is my home, and if it is enclampsia, you know bed rest is called for.
00:18:04Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:06Perhaps.
00:18:07But if not, I won't be sorry later.
00:18:08I love you.
00:18:10I love you.
00:18:11I love you, too.
00:18:21Prepare for my peach.
00:18:25Are 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, and if someone really needs me, they know where to find me.
00:18:33Morning, ladies.
00:18:35Morning.
00:18:36Bye, Ma.
00:18:37Have a good day, darling.
00:18:38Bye, Ma.
00:18:39Bye.
00:18:39That 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 looked like he could use a few more good meals.
00:18:57Do you have any idea how much I love you?
00:18:58Well, it never hurts to hear.
00:19:02I love you, too, Lee Owens.
00:19:06Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:19:08All right.
00:19:10Have 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.
00:19:29I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:32Lee Owens.
00:19:34That's what he said.
00:19:38Dr. McQueen, sorry, we're closed today, but if you'd like to make an appointment...
00:19:48Were you the one that gave Mabel this tonic?
00:19:50Yes, it's iron for her anemia.
00:19:52Why you got to go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:55What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:57Mabel 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, 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.
00:20:17Now, my advice...
00:20:19I don't need your mouth nor your advice, and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:22Doctor's not worth a...
00:20:23Who's the holler?
00:20:26Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:30Yes, I'm just frustrated at a very stubborn and hard-headed man.
00:20:34Lloyd McQueen is truly set in his ways, but he's still a child of our maker.
00:20:39He has no compassion for his wife's condition.
00:20:41Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times and lose sight of the compassion we should have for others?
00:20:48There I go preaching again.
00:20:50Oh, it's all right.
00:20:51I suppose I needed to hear it.
00:20:53I'll see you in church, Belinda.
00:20:55Good day.
00:21:08That's just steady blows.
00:21:10All right.
00:21:11Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:18Must run in the family.
00:21:21I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence, but she was adopted.
00:21:26Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:28Really?
00:21:28I never would have known.
00:21:31I mean, she and Mrs....
00:21:32I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:36Matter of fact.
00:21:37Yeah, I mean, it's just...
00:21:39Lillian's very pretty.
00:21:40Yeah, I know she's pretty.
00:21:56I'm truthfully not that hungry.
00:21:58Doctor's orders.
00:21:59Even if you don't feel up to it, you need to finish the entire wall.
00:22:03I'm not a child, Belinda.
00:22:05And I'm a doctor.
00:22:06I think I know what's best for me.
00:22:07Knowing and doing are two entirely different things.
00:22:10Is that another contraction?
00:22:13No, 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...
00:22:23He?
00:22:24How do you know it's a boy?
00:22:25I 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.
00:22:31That'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 breached birth, and...
00:22:42She 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.
00:22:50You want to feel?
00:22:51That's all right.
00:22:51Come on, Belinda.
00:22:54You'll be nervous.
00:22:58It's so strange.
00:23:00I never thought I'd be a mother.
00:23:03It suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world.
00:23:09I'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.
00:23:27I look after this one woman, Mabel McQueen.
00:23:30She's had six babies in the past eight years without even trying.
00:23:34It's important to you, isn't it?
00:23:41We best get supper ready.
00:23:42Lee and Lillian will be home soon.
00:23:45I'm here to talk whenever you'd like to.
00:23:47Please eat your soup, Annie.
00:23:50I was wondering where you'd run off to.
00:24:02I just looked in on Annie.
00:24:13She's out for the night.
00:24:15She keeps insisting she feels fine.
00:24:20I think I've heard that before.
00:24:24You two are so much alike it's frightening.
00:24:26I suppose it's why we're such good friends.
00:24:30Mm-hmm.
00:24:30I 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?
00:24:42He's only a couple years older.
00:24:43Doc, he's an apprentice blacksmith.
00:24:46I 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, Leonis.
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.
00:25:07Besides, telling Lillian she can't have some things.
00:25:11Like daring to try to stop her.
00:25:13I get your point.
00:25:18I don't want to get in the way of her happiness.
00:25:20Still, you left a small town to follow your dream.
00:25:25And if Lill wants to go to college, I darn sure want to see it happen.
00:25:29I don't want her tied down to Saxon.
00:25:34I hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has.
00:25:39It's getting a little chilly.
00:25:41You want to turn in for the night?
00:25:43No, you go ahead.
00:25:44I'll be up in a little while.
00:25:45Don't be in such a hurry, pretty lady.
00:26:06Please 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.
00:26:20Excuse me.
00:26:23You mind letting the young lady pass?
00:26:24This ain't none of your affairs, sod buster.
00:26:26Ah, but it is.
00:26:27It ain't.
00:26:34Knock your head off, boy.
00:26:36Now, you hold on a second.
00:26:37Now, the good book tells me to turn the other cheek.
00:26:39Now, I only have two.
00:26:41So, after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:42That 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.
00:26:56I trust I'll never see you around Miss Owens again.
00:26:58No, never.
00:26:59Good.
00:27:01Now, get.
00:27:01All right.
00:27:02All right.
00:27:03All right.
00:27:04All right.
00:27:06All right.
00:27:06All right.
00:27:06All right.
00:27:07All right.
00:27:07All right.
00:27:07All right.
00:27:08All right.
00:27:09All right.
00:27:10All right.
00:27:11All right.
00:27:12Morning, 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 it, all right?
00:27:31I'm fine.
00:27:32Come on.
00:27:34OK.
00:27:42Your boss strikes me as a hardworking man.
00:27:45He lives and breathes work.
00:27:47Ma says sometimes he rolls over to sleep and tries to use your arms like a set of tongs.
00:27:51I guess that's the future I have for Florence.
00:27:54Not such a bad life, really.
00:27:59So what about you?
00:28:01You're going to be a doctor like your mom?
00:28:03I 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.
00:28:21I don't think you should be climbing the stairs.
00:28:32But I feel fine.
00:28:33What'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.
00:28:42That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:48Is that singing?
00:28:50I wouldn't 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.
00:28:58Well, this must be it.
00:29:14Oh, gee.
00:29:15Thank you, my good man.
00:29:17And you have a blessed day.
00:29:21And you must be the infamous Doc Owen.
00:29:25Oh, my goodness.
00:29:27Mary Watson.
00:29:29Oh, do you need that already?
00:29:30Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:34Would you be a dear and bring my thing along?
00:29:36Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:44Where else would you expect me to be?
00:29:47Oh, my little lamb.
00:29:48What?
00:29:48But didn't you get the telegraph from Melinda's husband?
00:29:50I did.
00:29:51That's why I'm here.
00:29:51I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend, but I certainly wasn't
00:29:57going 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.
00:30:14I'm sorry.
00:30:15What are you doing?
00:30:15I'm getting her upright.
00:30:17If she stays in this bed too long, she'll get a crick in her back and it'll make delivery
00:30:22much 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.
00:30:36You 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.
00:30:53There I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw.
00:30:58I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night.
00:31:03I expected twins, not triplets.
00:31:07In a blizzard?
00:31:09Oh, the little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:31:13Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:16Women giving birth are always an emergency.
00:31:20That's the penalty we pay for Eve eating the apple.
00:31:23It is not a penalty.
00:31:27Wow, Mrs. Watson, you sure got an exciting life.
00:31:29Well, I should probably get you up to your room, Annie.
00:31:33You let that little fella start running your life now, you'll be lacing his shoes when
00:31:38he's 30.
00:31:38Yes, Annie told me you believe it's a boy.
00:31:41Believe nothing.
00:31:42It's a fact.
00:31:44Honestly, Mary, you can't possibly...
00:31:45Actually, I am a little tired.
00:31:47I'm going to go to bed.
00:31:48I can manage on my own.
00:31:52Good night, all.
00:31:54Good night, Annie.
00:31:55Rest well, dear.
00:31:56Good night, Annie.
00:31:58Good night, Annie.
00:32:02There is no way to tell whether...
00:32:04Well, I think it's time we all settle down.
00:32:06Huh?
00:32:07We have a full day tomorrow.
00:32:14Thank you for dinner, Dr. Holmes.
00:32:15Joshua, Willian told us that you came to her 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.
00:32:40Aren't they the most adorable couple?
00:32:43So tell me, how was Captain Nemo this evening?
00:32:49When I left him, he was exploring the ruins of Atlantis, although I can't say for sure
00:32:53what 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.
00:32:59No, no, I'm not sure if I'm sold on Nemo just yet.
00:33:02Maybe you could read some of it to me, though.
00:33:05Just so I can find out if it's my kind of story.
00:33:07I could do that.
00:33:08Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:33:11Maybe on Saturday?
00:33:13We can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:33:16I 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.
00:33:23I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:31Let's see what you got there.
00:33:54Well, you're really improving.
00:33:58Thank you, sir.
00:33:59I'm trying my best to impress her, dude.
00:34:02As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:34:07Well, to be honest,
00:34:09I wanted to ask you,
00:34:11maybe, uh,
00:34:13Lily and I...
00:34:14You want permission to court Lily, right?
00:34:19Yes, sir.
00:34:20Well, I don't want to distract her from her goals.
00:34:23I promise I'll be respectful of her
00:34:24and not get in the way of her schooling.
00:34:26I know how much she wants to go to college.
00:34:27Well, I don't think about it, all right?
00:34:33I understand.
00:34:35Meantime,
00:34:36finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:38Lily wants his order by noon.
00:34:40Yes, sir.
00:34:42You're gonna be late opening your clinic.
00:34:45I don't feel comfortable leaving Annie here all alone,
00:34:47and I certainly don't feel comfortable
00:34:49with her being out of bed this much.
00:34:50You know, I wish the two of you wouldn't talk about me
00:34:52as if I wasn't sitting right here.
00:34:55Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:57You must be so frustrated,
00:35:00pooped up inside all the time.
00:35:02I will be here with her all day.
00:35:06You tend to your patience,
00:35:08and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:09If you need anything,
00:35:14I'll be close by.
00:35:17Have a nice day.
00:35:22Praise the Lord!
00:35:23They're free!
00:35:26Peach Pie,
00:35:27you get dressed.
00:35:29We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:31We're going out to town!
00:35:44Doc Owens?
00:35:45Can 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.
00:35:53Said I was running to the butcher.
00:35:55What can I do for you, Mabel?
00:35:56Doc, I feel terrible.
00:35:58This sickness,
00:35:59it's just getting worse.
00:36:00I'm dizzy all the time,
00:36:01and I can barely pick up the youngins.
00:36:03That's because your anemia
00:36:03is getting worse.
00:36:04Your body needs iron.
00:36:06You're only going to get sicker.
00:36:07What can I do to make it better?
00:36:09I already told you.
00:36:10Vegetables are the tonic.
00:36:12If you don't listen to my instructions,
00:36:13there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:14I tried to take the tonic.
00:36:16Really, I did.
00:36:17Even started to feel a little stronger.
00:36:19And then Lloyd found it,
00:36:20and you know the rest.
00:36:22I certainly do.
00:36:23He threw a bottle at me.
00:36:24I'm sorry for that.
00:36:25Really, I am.
00:36:26He was just upset.
00:36:27He didn't mean anything by it.
00:36:29He's a wonderful husband
00:36:30and a father.
00:36:32Maybe,
00:36:32but I can't help you
00:36:33if you won't help yourself.
00:36:39Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:40Your friend Melinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:37:04I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me,
00:37:07but everybody likes me.
00:37:10She isn't happy.
00:37:12She's been trying to have a baby.
00:37:14And Melinda just feels discouraged.
00:37:17Me showing up in my condition
00:37:18and staying till the baby comes.
00:37:21I think it's just another painful reminder.
00:37:24Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:37:26If it's baby trouble she's got.
00:37:29I've surely got the cure.
00:37:32How about a sugary treat?
00:37:37I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:38It isn't here yet.
00:37:40It's been over a week.
00:37:41You 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
00:37:48if there was another general store
00:37:49within 10 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?
00:37:58I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:59There was a little bit of a line.
00:38:01There's always an excuse.
00:38:02Let's get out of here.
00:38:03I got fences to mend before sundown.
00:38:12She's just feeling poorly at length.
00:38:18She's got a newborn and five youngins.
00:38:21Says it wears her out.
00:38:22You think a mother doesn't work?
00:38:26I've seen this a bunch
00:38:27during and after pregnancy.
00:38:30This is a severe case of anemia.
00:38:32She don't need coddling, lady.
00:38:34I know how to take care of my wife.
00:38:36No, you don't.
00:38:38You are selfish
00:38:39and rude
00:38:41and contemptuous
00:38:43and you can't see the forest for the trees.
00:38:46Doc Owens is trying to save your wife's life.
00:38:50She's dying.
00:38:50You get her over to the clinic
00:38:54and you beg Doc Owens for more of that tonic.
00:38:58Don't talk to me like that.
00:38:59I'll talk to you anyway.
00:39:01I won't.
00:39:02Get her to the clinic.
00:39:03You better pray to the merciful and good lord
00:39:11that she doesn't slam the door
00:39:14in your ungrateful face.
00:39:16Amen.
00:39:18Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:26You're home today, now.
00:39:27I don't want to.
00:39:31Give you a double dose
00:39:33so do not take any more today.
00:39:34No, ma'am.
00:39:35Starting tomorrow morning
00:39:36take two teaspoons every morning.
00:39:38And if you don't get your strength back
00:39:39in four days
00:39:40get back in here.
00:39:41I'd like to apologize.
00:39:49The last time we spoke
00:39:50I lost my temper.
00:39:52What'll owe you for the tonic?
00:39:54Only that you allow her to keep taking it.
00:39:56You don't need no charity.
00:39:57The first one was already paid for
00:39:58this is just a replacement.
00:40:01Step up!
00:40:02Yes, dear.
00:40:21I'm sorry.
00:40:21You sleeping?
00:40:22Well, not anymore.
00:40:25My apprentice wants to court, Lillian.
00:40:29His name is Joshua.
00:40:32I told him I'd think about it.
00:40:35Well, then think.
00:40:38Don't think too long.
00:40:40Lillian's grown up.
00:40:41I'm having a hard time with it.
00:40:43You're having a hard time
00:40:45letting her grow up.
00:40:46Just try to protect her.
00:40:48I don't think she needs
00:40:49protection from Joshua.
00:40:51He's a very nice young man.
00:40:53That's all you have to say about it?
00:40:56Good night, sweetheart.
00:40:58All right.
00:41:05Tomorrow, I'll give Joshua
00:41:07my permission to court, Lillian.
00:41:08I think I don't know about
00:41:23your little excursion with Annie.
00:41:24This town is filled with gossips.
00:41:26Can't keep a secret
00:41:27for more than five minutes.
00:41:28It's a pretty little town, Sykeston.
00:41:31I can see why you like it here.
00:41:34May I ask why you feel the need
00:41:36to go against every instruction
00:41:37I have for Annie.
00:41:38I don't deliberately go
00:41:40against your word.
00:41:42We just disagree
00:41:44about how to treat her.
00:41:45This isn't a competition, Mary.
00:41:47If a patient came to you
00:41:48with gangrene or pneumonia,
00:41:50I wouldn't dream of telling you
00:41:52how to treat them.
00:41:53That's your business.
00:41:55Babies are my business.
00:41:58Have been for 30 years.
00:41:59It's just there's been
00:42:00so many new advancements.
00:42:02Sometimes the old ways are best.
00:42:05Annie may have a serious condition
00:42:06which could be fatal
00:42:07to both her and the baby.
00:42:09Are you sure?
00:42:10Of course I'm not sure,
00:42:11but I'm not taking any chances.
00:42:13So it's true what they say
00:42:15that doctors only practice medicine.
00:42:20This conversation obviously
00:42:21isn't getting us anywhere.
00:42:24So Annie tells me you're barren.
00:42:27Or, uh, or having trouble anyway.
00:42:29I don't think that's
00:42:30any of your concern.
00:42:32I see this problem a lot.
00:42:34If you want,
00:42:35I could give you some remedies
00:42:36that are guaranteed to work.
00:42:37I know how it's done, Mary.
00:42:39I don't think there's
00:42:40anything wrong with you.
00:42:41So what do you think
00:42:42is the problem?
00:42:43You're too high strung.
00:42:45Folks worry too much
00:42:47about work, family,
00:42:49or whether or not
00:42:49they can have a baby.
00:42:52Then years go by
00:42:53and nothing happens.
00:42:55Then one day,
00:42:56they decide to stop trying
00:42:57and before you know it,
00:42:59they find they're with child.
00:43:01So your sage advice for me
00:43:03is to relax.
00:43:06Read a book before you go to bed.
00:43:08Take some deep breath.
00:43:11And before you know it,
00:43:12I'll be back to deliver
00:43:13your little one.
00:43:15I'll make sure I try that.
00:43:16Every baby boy needs
00:43:37his own blanket.
00:43:38Don't you agree?
00:43:39Yes, I do.
00:43:40I'm going to head
00:43:48to the shop for a few hours.
00:43:49I'll be back in time
00:43:50for supper.
00:43:51Don't you ever
00:43:52take time off?
00:43:53Oh, the good book says
00:43:54that a man who doesn't work
00:43:55doesn't deserve to eat.
00:43:57I ain't got a lot
00:43:58of work to do.
00:43:58We just thought
00:43:59you'd have more time off
00:43:59once you hired an apprentice.
00:44:01And I do.
00:44:01Now I'm only two weeks
00:44:02behind instead of six.
00:44:03Lillian, you look lovely.
00:44:08Where are you headed off to?
00:44:10Joshua and I
00:44:10are having a picnic.
00:44:11You enjoy yourself
00:44:13and please tell Joshua
00:44:14that we said hello.
00:44:15I will.
00:44:16You'll be back in time
00:44:17for supper now.
00:44:18No exceptions.
00:44:18I will.
00:44:19I promise.
00:44:21Bye, everyone.
00:44:22Bye, dear.
00:44:23Bye, dear.
00:44:28Bye.
00:44:33I love it.
00:44:39The sea is everything.
00:44:40It covers seven-tenths
00:44:41of the terrestrial globe.
00:44:42Its breath is pure and healthy.
00:44:44It is an immense desert
00:44:45where man is never lonely
00:44:46for he feels life stirring
00:44:47on all sides.
00:44:49The sea is the only embodiment
00:44:51of a supernatural
00:44:51and wonderful existence.
00:44:53It is nothing but love
00:44:54and emotion.
00:44:55It is the living infinite
00:44:56as one of your poets has said.
00:45:00I've been reading
00:45:01for almost two hours.
00:45:02You must be bored.
00:45:03I don't think I can ever
00:45:04get bored listening to you talk.
00:45:06You're just saying that.
00:45:08No, I'm not.
00:45:09I swear.
00:45:10It's just,
00:45:11I'd like this Captain Nemo
00:45:13if he weren't holding
00:45:13his friends hostage
00:45:14all the time.
00:45:15I can't let them go
00:45:16and they might tell
00:45:16the world who he is.
00:45:1820,000 Leagues
00:45:18is an allegory.
00:45:19It's about personal freedom.
00:45:21Nemo means nobody in Latin
00:45:22and he's invisible to the world
00:45:24and wants to keep it that way.
00:45:25You're brilliant.
00:45:26You know that?
00:45:27I am not.
00:45:33Lee, you working today?
00:45:40You work harder
00:45:41than any man I know.
00:45:43Well, I can't let
00:45:44the customers down.
00:45:45Besides, it gives me
00:45:46thinking time.
00:45:47Anything that you'd like
00:45:48to share with your pastor?
00:45:51This is a lot of rumbling
00:45:52around in my head
00:45:53like a marble.
00:45:54Sometimes it helps
00:45:55to speak it out loud.
00:45:57Talking to yourself
00:45:58only gets the answer
00:45:59you're looking for.
00:46:00I just can't figure
00:46:01Lillian out.
00:46:03I'm trying to be
00:46:04a good father to her.
00:46:06Our children grow up,
00:46:07start spreading their wings.
00:46:10A father has to be aware
00:46:11of that and try to grow
00:46:13with his child.
00:46:15Yeah.
00:46:16Belinda tolerates more
00:46:17than I do.
00:46:18She's a mother.
00:46:19The good Lord gave them
00:46:20the patience of Job
00:46:21when it comes to
00:46:22raising their children.
00:46:23He shortchanged fathers
00:46:25in that area.
00:46:26Yeah.
00:46:28I really wish
00:46:34you would get some rest.
00:46:36I feel fine.
00:46:38Looks like someone
00:46:39may have been wrong
00:46:40about my condition.
00:46:41Perhaps.
00:46:45So, have things
00:46:46improved with Lee?
00:46:47He says he isn't bothered,
00:46:48but I still sense
00:46:50that he's disappointed
00:46:51we can't have a baby.
00:46:52Well, maybe you're
00:46:53just being overly sensitive
00:46:55and you think
00:46:55that he's disappointed.
00:46:57Maybe.
00:46:57You know, I'm starting
00:46:59to think that maybe
00:47:00she regrets marrying me.
00:47:02Now, Lee,
00:47:03that is just plain nonsense.
00:47:05She's proud as a peacock
00:47:07that she married to you.
00:47:08Maybe.
00:47:09Have you spoken to her
00:47:10about it?
00:47:11In a roundabout way.
00:47:13Of course, she says
00:47:14I'm wrong.
00:47:16Still, she seems
00:47:17kind of distant lately.
00:47:17She's got something
00:47:19on her mind.
00:47:20Most women do
00:47:21when they get like that.
00:47:23You know, we're, uh,
00:47:25trying to have a baby.
00:47:29So far, no luck.
00:47:31You have to have faith.
00:47:33Sometimes it's hard,
00:47:34Ripper.
00:47:36Talk to her
00:47:37about your feelings.
00:47:38I'd best be getting home.
00:47:42Mrs. Davis
00:47:42will give me an earful
00:47:43if I'm late for supper.
00:47:45Yeah, myself included.
00:47:52Well, I see.
00:47:54You didn't need my help
00:47:56putting supper on the table.
00:47:58You're taking a nap, man.
00:47:59We just wanted you
00:48:00to be able to rest.
00:48:00I'll rest enough
00:48:01when I'm dead.
00:48:03Give me that knife
00:48:04before you cut yourself.
00:48:08So, do you miss your family?
00:48:14I do.
00:48:16My pa's a farmer
00:48:17back in Pennsylvania.
00:48:19He wanted more from me
00:48:20than to spend
00:48:20my entire life
00:48:21plowing fields.
00:48:22So, he said
00:48:23if I got good enough,
00:48:24maybe I can find
00:48:24some work in Philadelphia.
00:48:26Sounds like he cares
00:48:27about you a lot.
00:48:28Yeah, my family's
00:48:29pretty close.
00:48:31It's kind of strange, though.
00:48:33You know,
00:48:34being out here
00:48:35all by myself.
00:48:36I have three sisters
00:48:36and two brothers
00:48:37and not a moment of peace.
00:48:39Back at the boarding house,
00:48:39I got nothing but quiet.
00:48:41I know what you mean.
00:48:43I mostly grew up
00:48:44in an orphanage
00:48:44until Ma and Pa
00:48:45adopted me when I was 10.
00:48:47I'd spent so long
00:48:48in a room with other kids,
00:48:49I couldn't wait
00:48:49to have a room of my own.
00:48:52Now I miss having
00:48:53someone to talk to.
00:48:54Yeah, me.
00:48:57Do, don't I?
00:49:00So, tell me something.
00:49:03How'd you ever find
00:49:03a place like this,
00:49:04anyway?
00:49:06I stumbled across it
00:49:06by accident
00:49:07while riding one day.
00:49:08And it's so far
00:49:09off the main roads,
00:49:10no one really comes out here.
00:49:11So, I brought
00:49:13some of my old stuff
00:49:14and now it's where
00:49:16I come to be alone.
00:49:17I can see why.
00:49:18Captain Nemo
00:49:19had a cave near the ocean
00:49:20where he went to escape.
00:49:22This reminds me of it.
00:49:25Yeah, well,
00:49:25the timber still seems...
00:49:27I wouldn't do that.
00:49:28Oh!
00:49:31Not as sound
00:49:32as you might think.
00:49:34You're probably right.
00:49:36I think it's best
00:49:37we pack up.
00:49:42Well, I'm happy
00:49:43to see you and Mary
00:49:44are getting along.
00:49:45You know,
00:49:46her fertility advice
00:49:47to me was to relax
00:49:49and read a book
00:49:51before bed.
00:49:52Did you try it?
00:49:53Of course not.
00:49:54She's been doing this
00:49:55longer than we've been alive.
00:49:57I can't believe you,
00:49:58Annie Watson.
00:49:59You've spent three years
00:50:00in medical school,
00:50:02five years practicing medicine,
00:50:03and you're gonna believe
00:50:04that woman's folk magic?
00:50:05It's rubbish,
00:50:06plain and simple.
00:50:07We ask people
00:50:08to believe in things
00:50:09they don't understand,
00:50:10and they do
00:50:10because they have trust
00:50:12and faith in us,
00:50:14just like they have
00:50:14faith in the Lord.
00:50:15Okay, it is not the same thing
00:50:17and we're talking
00:50:17about Mary here.
00:50:18Why do you have
00:50:18such a hard time
00:50:19believing in Mary's ways?
00:50:20Okay, Mary is a lovely woman,
00:50:23but you have to admit
00:50:25she's a little touched
00:50:26in the head.
00:50:27She doesn't like me
00:50:28any more than I like her.
00:50:29Really?
00:50:31The other day
00:50:31at the general store,
00:50:33Mary defended you
00:50:34to 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
00:50:38was such a success story?
00:50:40Mary is the reason
00:50:41that he brought her
00:50:42back to you.
00:50:43That's why Lloyd McQueen
00:50:44brought his wife
00:50:45back to me?
00:50:46Mary unloaded on him
00:50:47like a tornado,
00:50:48spoke up for you,
00:50:49and just plain
00:50:50made him cower.
00:50:54I'm open.
00:50:55Let's go.
00:51:03Do you have any idea
00:51:04what time it is?
00:51:05Hi, Pa.
00:51:07You were supposed
00:51:07to be home for supper.
00:51:09Joshua and I
00:51:10weren't that hungry,
00:51:10so we decided
00:51:11to stay out
00:51:11a little while longer.
00:51:12Well, it's well past supper.
00:51:13That's more than
00:51:14a little while.
00:51:15Why are you so angry?
00:51:16I thought I could
00:51:17trust your judgment,
00:51:18but apparently I was wrong.
00:51:19What's that supposed to mean?
00:51:20It means you can't
00:51:21spend any more time
00:51:22with Joshua Coyle
00:51:22until I say so.
00:51:24You'll go to school,
00:51:25help your mother
00:51:25at the clinic,
00:51:25and come straight home.
00:51:27For how long?
00:51:28As long as it takes
00:51:28me to trust you again.
00:51:30That's completely unfair.
00:51:31Joshua's only two years
00:51:32older than I am,
00:51:33and no one tells him
00:51:34what to do.
00:51:34No one said the world
00:51:35was fair, young lady.
00:51:38Lil.
00:51:41I was worried about you.
00:51:49Hello, Joshua.
00:52:07Good afternoon, man.
00:52:09Uh, Mr. Owens told me
00:52:12how much trouble
00:52:12I caused the other night.
00:52:14I just wanted to come by
00:52:15and say how sorry I am
00:52:16for keeping Lillian
00:52:17out so late.
00:52:18You needn't place
00:52:19the blame all on yourself.
00:52:20She's old enough
00:52:21to know better.
00:52:22No, I'm still sorry.
00:52:23Ma, I can't find the...
00:52:25bandages.
00:52:30Pa said I can't see you
00:52:31for a while.
00:52:33Pa said you couldn't
00:52:34go out with Joshua.
00:52:35He said nothing about
00:52:36the two of you
00:52:37seeing each other.
00:52:37Thanks, Ma.
00:52:42Well, I have work to do.
00:52:45It was nice to see you, Joshua.
00:52:46There's always room
00:52:47open at the dinner table
00:52:48for you.
00:52:50Thank you, ma'am.
00:52:56Sorry to get you
00:52:57into trouble.
00:52:58You didn't do anything wrong,
00:52:59and neither did I.
00:53:00I'm a grown woman,
00:53:01and I don't need my pa
00:53:02deciding how late I can
00:53:03and can't stay out.
00:53:04He's just worried
00:53:05about you is all.
00:53:06Well, he doesn't need to be.
00:53:07There's no need
00:53:08to be cross, Lily.
00:53:09I mean, I'll still be here
00:53:10when you get off punishment.
00:53:12I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:14I wanted to return this.
00:53:16I finished it.
00:53:17Already?
00:53:18I just gave it to you.
00:53:19Once I got started,
00:53:21it was hard to quit.
00:53:22I mean, the sun was already up
00:53:23when I finally closed the book.
00:53:24So you stayed up all night
00:53:25just to read about Captain Emo?
00:53:27No.
00:53:28I don't think I would have
00:53:28gotten much sleep with
00:53:29or without him.
00:53:33I'll be thinking about you.
00:53:35Me too.
00:53:36Mary?
00:53:57In here, dear.
00:53:58Annie, should you be up?
00:54:07Where are you going?
00:54:09I've decided to head on home.
00:54:11I can see you're in good hands.
00:54:14You're leaving?
00:54:15Before the baby comes?
00:54:17Oh, you'll do fine.
00:54:19And besides,
00:54:21the last thing you need
00:54:23is an old granny midwife
00:54:25gumming up the works.
00:54:27This doesn't have anything to do
00:54:29with the disagreement
00:54:29between you and Belinda,
00:54:30does it?
00:54:31Oh, no.
00:54:32No, no.
00:54:34Truth is,
00:54:36I'm feeling homesick.
00:54:39I miss sleeping in my own bed.
00:54:40And my patients back home
00:54:44don't have a smart lady doctor
00:54:46to take care of them.
00:54:47If you've made your decision,
00:54:48I can't stop you.
00:54:50I'd really love for you to stay, though.
00:54:53I want my family here
00:54:54when the baby comes.
00:54:55Belinda is your family, sweetheart.
00:54:59And Peter will be back with you next week.
00:55:02Besides,
00:55:03all of you will be home before long,
00:55:05and somebody's got to get the house ready.
00:55:10I'm going to go home to check on Annie.
00:55:12I shouldn't be long.
00:55:13If there's an emergency,
00:55:14just send them my way
00:55:15or come running,
00:55:17which you're very good at.
00:55:18I will, Ma.
00:55:19And thank you.
00:55:20For what?
00:55:20For understanding about me and Joshua.
00:55:22Believe it or not,
00:55:23I was your age once.
00:55:31I'm not going to keep her
00:55:38from the church social.
00:55:40You may not be able to go with her,
00:55:42but you'll see her there.
00:55:44In the meantime,
00:55:45we have an order to finish.
00:55:48All right.
00:55:49I like your attitude.
00:55:58You're leaving.
00:56:00Time for me to go home.
00:56:01Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:56:03I'm going to see her off into town.
00:56:05Annie, I just don't think
00:56:06it's a good idea for you
00:56:07to be carrying luggage
00:56:07and walking into town.
00:56:09It was my idea, Belinda.
00:56:10And I've been all over
00:56:11this whole territory
00:56:12through my entire pregnancy.
00:56:14I think I can handle
00:56:15a short walk into town.
00:56:16Doc Owens!
00:56:20Danny.
00:56:23Lillian told me he was here.
00:56:25Ma's in labor.
00:56:25Okay, there's a horse and buggy
00:56:27in the barn.
00:56:27Help me hook it up.
00:56:28Yes, ma'am.
00:56:31I trust you weren't walking
00:56:33to town along the way.
00:56:35All right, peach pie.
00:56:37You get back in the house
00:56:38and stay put.
00:56:40Belinda and I have a baby to deliver.
00:56:42Mrs. Travis is my patient.
00:56:45If you find you don't need me,
00:56:48you have my permission
00:56:49to just shove me out of the way.
00:56:50But if you do,
00:56:52I'm there.
00:56:56Fine, but only because
00:56:57I don't have time
00:56:57to argue with you.
00:57:08Thank you, young man.
00:57:09It's never taken this long.
00:57:16The first few hours
00:57:16seem normal,
00:57:17but then it just stopped.
00:57:18What stopped?
00:57:19The contractions?
00:57:19No, Doc, the baby.
00:57:21It's like it's stuck,
00:57:21but I can't see the head.
00:57:23I'll see you to her.
00:57:24Your mama's gonna be fine.
00:57:28It's a fetal dystocia.
00:57:30A what?
00:57:31The baby's shoulder is stuck.
00:57:33What are you fixing
00:57:33to do with that?
00:57:34We have to get the baby out
00:57:35before it suffocates.
00:57:36We start pulling.
00:57:38We could make things worse.
00:57:40What should we do?
00:57:41Well, if you can't get
00:57:43the baby out from the inside,
00:57:46you'd 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
00:57:54her hip bones.
00:57:57She's trying to slow down for me.
00:57:59Now, we're gonna see
00:58:01if you're stuck and who's not.
00:58:06Oh, um, um, uh, uh...
00:58:11Oh, uh, uh, uh, uh...
00:58:15Here.
00:58:15Oh, uh, uh, uh...
00:58:20Oh, uh, uh, uh...
00:58:24Oh, uh, uh...
00:58:26It's gonna be all right.
00:58:30Pa?
00:58:36Pa?
00:58:42Hello, Joshua.
00:58:44Where's my pa?
00:58:46He's on delivery, then headed home.
00:58:49I'd sure like to go to the ice cream social.
00:58:52I'd sure like to ask you to go with me.
00:58:55So?
00:58:56Your pa said I could see you there.
00:58:59But I can't escort you.
00:59:01I'm sorry.
00:59:17Joshua.
00:59:20Pa is being so unreasonable.
00:59:23We were late coming home, okay?
00:59:25Don't tell me you're on his side.
00:59:27What's the difference in an hour or so?
00:59:29We got home just fine.
00:59:31He just doesn't trust me.
00:59:32Your pa had no way of knowing whether you are right
00:59:34when you didn't make it home on time.
00:59:35You sound just like pa.
00:59:37Ma is the only one who understands.
00:59:39Lillian, wait a second.
00:59:41Wait a second.
00:59:53Get out! Get out!
00:59:55Get out!
00:59:57It's a beautiful baby boy and your wife is fine.
01:00:13Can I see them?
01:00:15Shortly.
01:00:16Well, looks like we got ourselves a baby brother.
01:00:23Isn't he beautiful?
01:00:29He sure is.
01:00:31He better be.
01:00:34Leave it to a boy to jam up the works.
01:00:49Uh, that's not doctor's work.
01:00:51It doesn't matter who does it, just as long as it gets done.
01:00:55I learned something today that they didn't teach me medical school.
01:01:02You're good, that's not that you should have to buy it from me.
01:01:04I would have to buy it from you.
01:01:05You're not the same as you do.
01:01:06I never want to buy it from you.
01:01:07I never want to buy anything.
01:01:08You're not the same.
01:01:10What are you doing?
01:01:11You're not the same as you do.
01:01:13It's a special as you do.
01:01:14M, are you?
01:01:15It's a special place.
01:01:16Let's go.
01:01:17I never want to buy it.
01:01:18Well, nothing.
01:01:19You're the same.
01:01:20If we haven't gone down here,
01:01:21look.
01:01:22Get out here.
01:01:23I think you can search in.
01:01:24All right, whoa.
01:01:47Whoa.
01:01:54Have you seen Lillian?
01:02:00No, why?
01:02:01Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:02:03She'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 up to find you.
01:02:11She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:02:14It's about to get dark outside if she gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:18I think I know where she is.
01:02:24It's worse this time.
01:02:40I feel like I could faint.
01:02:42Okay, okay.
01:02:43Let's get her inside.
01:02:44It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:54How much further?
01:02:55She's just up ahead.
01:02:56How much further?
01:02:57She's just up ahead.
01:02:58How much further?
01:02:59She's just up ahead.
01:03:00How much further?
01:03:01She's just up ahead.
01:03:05How much further?
01:03:06She's just up ahead.
01:03:10How much further?
01:03:24It's just up ahead.
01:03:33How are you feeling?
01:03:34I'm really not as lighted as before.
01:03:37I like to just go to bed.
01:03:38Okay, let's get you upstairs to a darkened room.
01:03:42Doctor's orders.
01:04:08Is it like this before?
01:04:21No, sir.
01:04:23Looks like there is a cave-in.
01:04:25She might be hurt.
01:04:27This is one of her lamps.
01:04:29Come on.
01:04:29Let's go.
01:04:31Lil!
01:04:31Lil!
01:04:33Lil!
01:04:33It'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?
01:04:59You got it?
01:05:00Lil.
01:05:00Lil.
01:05:01Lil.
01:05:04Come on.
01:05:05Talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:12Pa?
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:15Not me, Ronnie.
01:05:17Just take it easy.
01:05:19Just stay down, all right?
01:05:23I'm going to get you out of here.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:25Okay.
01:05:25How's Lillian?
01:05:49A 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.
01:06:02At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:06:06Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:06:09Ah.
01:06:10This too shall pass.
01:06:14Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:18True miracles.
01:06:18Are 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.
01:06:34You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:36Doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:38It only matters what you believe.
01:06:40What do you mean?
01:06:41Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:44It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:50I'm sorry I doubted you.
01:06:52You didn't deserve it.
01:06:54The Lord says we are to forgive if we expect to be forgiven.
01:07:00Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning and all is forgiven.
01:07:05That's a promise.
01:07:06Late night tonight.
01:07:17Everyone's worn out.
01:07:19A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:28You know, I think I might read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:34Really?
01:07:35You 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-hmm.
01:07:47Doc.
01:07:50I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:54Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:57And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage.
01:08:00You need a good home.
01:08:01You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of her home?
01:08:05I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:09Always have been.
01:08:10Always will be.
01:08:13Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:18Yeah.
01:08:20Yeah, I like the sunrise.
01:08:21I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:28I love you, too.
01:08:30Good night.
01:08:31Oh, all right.
01:08:33I'm gonna read your book now.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:37All right.
01:08:40I'll just go to sleep.
01:08:41I'm sure I can't help you read it, or no.
01:08:51All right.
01:09:01Shouldn't you be in bed?
01:09:03My ball and chain let me come downstairs.
01:09:05She 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?
01:09:13You are not going to the social.
01:09:16I am a doctor.
01:09:17I 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.
01:09:29I'm gonna have to side with the midwife.
01:09:31But I love ice cream.
01:09:32Then I'll send you some.
01:09:34That'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.
01:09:46Read your book and pout.
01:09:47Don't you look beautiful.
01:10:03Except for this.
01:10:04I don't know who will even notice that.
01:10:06Even Joshua.
01:10:07Especially Joshua.
01:10:09Thanks for telling Joshua you can escort me to the social.
01:10:12You're still coming with your mother and I, right?
01:10:14And I 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.
01:10:36Come here.
01:10:52And then he stepped like this.
01:10:56There you go, son.
01:10:58Come here, honey.
01:11:01Here you go.
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'd your ice cream?
01:11:17Doc Owens, can we talk?
01:11:19Boyd, maybe you know my husband Lee.
01:11:23Boyd.
01:11:24I want to 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.
01:11:32I've had a lot more energy.
01:11:33I still need some extra sleep in the afternoons.
01:11:36I'm getting stronger every day.
01:11:37Well, the best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed to receive with a joyful spirit.
01:11:43It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:45Well, I mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:51Thanks again, Doc Evans.
01:11:52It was my pleasure.
01:11:53And 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.
01:12:02There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:07Have a good day.
01:12:12Wow.
01:12:14That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:17You like some ice cream?
01:12:18I love some.
01:12:19I got Lee's telegram.
01:12:39Where's Annie?
01:12:39The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:42Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:43I need Belinda now.
01:12:45I want to see Annie.
01:12:46Hey, get Belinda now.
01:12:53You look beautiful.
01:12:55Say, you look handsome.
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.
01:13:08It's very sweet of you to say, Joshua.
01:13:10Sure.
01:13:10Yeah.
01:13:11Sounds like a mess.
01:13:16Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:25Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:27Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:29Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:31Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:32Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:35Make sure she'll get out of here.
01:13:37All of us, have a fun time.
01:13:41Melinda!
01:13:42Stop goings!
01:13:43I need you!
01:13:46Whoa!
01:13:47Whoa!
01:13:49What's that?
01:13:51Melinda!
01:13:51Peter!
01:13:52It's Annie.
01:13:52You gotta come quick.
01:13:54Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:13:58Yeah!
01:13:59Yeah!
01:13:59Stand back!
01:14:01Dog!
01:14:02Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:11She's had a seizure.
01:14:12I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete, what are you best week down here?
01:14:18There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:19Dear Lord, please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:36Amen.
01:14:38Amen.
01:14:39Thank you, Lee.
01:14:40You're welcome.
01:14:41Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:43Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:56Peter.
01:14:57He's waiting downstairs.
01:15:00Right.
01:15:01Please save my baby.
01:15:10I know what you have to do.
01:15:13I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:24What 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.
01:15:48She was talking about a cesarean delivery, which I could do at the clinic, but under very crude conditions.
01:15:55Have you ever done one?
01:15:56I did one once at a hospital in Boston, but I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:16:02And there wasn't any clamsy involved.
01:16:04Is there no other choice?
01:16:08Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:16:10Well then, we best get that labor going.
01:16:16What is that?
01:16:21Scotch 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.
01:16:33Does 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.
01:16:56Your temperature is slightly raised.
01:17:24But her heart beat and her breathing are normal.
01:17:28No contractions yet.
01:17:30It doesn't seem to be working.
01:17:32It's never taken this long.
01:17:34Let's just give it a little 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?
01:17:54I'm going to make some tea.
01:17:59Do you like a cup?
01:18:00No, thank you.
01:18:15Any news?
01:18:16Nothing yet.
01:18:18I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:24You're doing fine, Annie.
01:18:41Just 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.
01:18:55It's all right.
01:18:56Keep breathing.
01:18:57Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Congratulations, Uncle Rita.
01:19:24She'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.
01:19:47We live and 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?
01:20:05Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:13Can I hold her?
01:20:16Come sit.
01:20:17Come sit.
01:20:47Hey, you got that, fella?
01:20:49How about your present?
01:20:51Present?
01:20:53These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:55When I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:21:00Well, the 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.
01:21:10Will I see you later?
01:21:11Sure as this is one fine day.
01:21:14Come on, come on, come on, help me out of here.
01:21:17Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter, I could use a little help in here.
01:21:30Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us and the love which envelops us.
01:21:39May 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?
01:21:59I'm fine.
01:22:00Just 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.
01:22:06Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:10I think it's time we go home.
01:22:11I'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?
01:22:22Oh, I was just getting some fresh air, talking to Annie.
01:22:25You're going to miss her, aren't you?
01:22:28Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:31Let's enjoy her what we can.
01:22:32Thank you very much, Lee.
01:22:43It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:45And Belinda, I can never thank you enough.
01:22:48Well, I wish I could take all the credit, but I had some expert help.
01:22:53This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:56I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:59Me too.
01:23:00All aboard, folks.
01:23:01We're burning daylight.
01:23:02I think it's about that time.
01:23:05Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:06Of course.
01:23:17Bye, you two.
01:23:19Bye.
01:23:20Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:37All right, take her easy there.
01:23:42Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:47How do I think you're married?
01:23:48Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:50I learned a lot from you.
01:23:54And I from you.
01:23:57I may bring him into the world, but you keep him alive and kicking once they're here.
01:24:03Now, if you ever need a good midwife, you know where to find me.
01:24:07Oh, young man, I'm going to need a hand here.
01:24:24All right.
01:24:26Here we go.
01:24:27Wait a minute.
01:24:28One, two, three.
01:24:29Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:34Well, Commodore, are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:37I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:40Yes, ma'am.
01:24:41Yeah, get out.
01:24:43Get out.
01:24:58Where are you and Mary whispering to each other?
01:25:01I was just telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:08You mean?
01:25:09Mm-hmm.
01:25:11Are you sure?
01:25:14I'm a doctor.
01:25:15I know a pregnant woman when I see one, especially when I am one.
01:25:22Hey.
01:25:24We're going to have a baby.
01:25:26Baby?
01:25:28We're going to have a baby.
01:25:32Lillian Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:34Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:36Yes, ma'am.
01:25:36Joshua Coyle, don't just stand there and gawk.
01:25:41You've got a job to do.
01:25:43Yes, ma'am.
01:25:47I've got patients to attend to and baby plans to make.
01:25:50Uh, now wait up.
01:25:55Now wait up a bit.
01:25:58How far along are you?
01:26:01Man, I'm serious.
01:26:02Well, we've got to start talking about names, really.
01:26:06I mean, I like to leave for a boy.
01:26:08Oh, you think it's going to be a boy?
01:26:09Or, 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, I'll hold on.
01:26:18I'll get the door for you.
01:26:19Oh, wait, oh, my goodness.
01:26:21Oh, my goodness.
