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.
00:03:10Good day, Reverend.
00:03:12Doctor and 50 cents for the medicine.
00:03:24It's the sock money I've saved up.
00:03:26Why don't we just call it a dog?
00:03:28What's up?
00:03:30Honey, I have to lose all her even?
00:03:34That's very kind of you.
00:03:36Don't mention it, Mrs. McQueen.
00:03:40Tell her all these are with that medicine.
00:03:42I will absolutely.
00:03:43Very good to see you.
00:03:44Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:03:46No, you didn't care of yourself.
00:03:47Okay.
00:03:48All right, pal.
00:03:49Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:03:50All right, pal.
00:03:51Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:03:52All right.
00:03:53I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:03:54That's a perfect style.
00:03:55Here it comes.
00:03:56Easy.
00:03:57Hey!
00:03:58Hey!
00:03:59Hey!
00:04:00Settle down now.
00:04:01Settle.
00:04:02Settle.
00:04:03Hey!
00:04:04Easy now.
00:04:05I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:07Come on.
00:04:08Hey!
00:04:09Hey!
00:04:10Hey!
00:04:11Hey!
00:04:12Settle down now.
00:04:13Settle.
00:04:14Settle.
00:04:15Hey!
00:04:16Easy now.
00:04:19I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:23Come on.
00:04:24That was a club?
00:04:25Come on.
00:04:36Aunt Annie's here.
00:04:37Aunt Annie!
00:04:38Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:04:39Shh, shh, shh.
00:04:40Oh, no.
00:04:41She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:04:42Sure.
00:04:43She, uh, looks very round.
00:04:44I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:04:45Oh, let me get that.
00:04:46Oh, it's fine.
00:04:47Everyone treats me like a china doll.
00:04:48I'm not gonna break.
00:04:49I'm so glad you came.
00:04:50Me too.
00:04:51I can't tell you how much I appreciate you looking after Annie.
00:04:52While I'm away.
00:04:53I didn't want to take a surveying job this close to her having a baby, but we need the money.
00:05:05I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:06But you're mine at ease, Pete.
00:05:07We're happy to have her.
00:05:08My mother would have stayed with Annie.
00:05:09But I wanted to come visit my best friend and her family before the baby comes.
00:05:10And we're so glad you did.
00:05:11How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:12Broken bones and bee stings.
00:05:13Anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:14Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:15The town loves mom.
00:05:16They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:17Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:18Hmm.
00:05:19Well, how about I start cleaning and Lee?
00:05:20You'll help them get settled in for the night?
00:05:21Hmm.
00:05:22Hmm.
00:05:23Hmm.
00:05:24Hmm.
00:05:25Hmm.
00:05:26Hmm.
00:05:27Hmm.
00:05:28Hmm.
00:05:29Hmm.
00:05:30Hmm.
00:05:31Hmm.
00:05:32Hmm.
00:05:33Hmm.
00:05:34Hmm.
00:05:35Hmm.
00:05:36Hmm.
00:05:37Hmm.
00:05:38Hmm.
00:05:39Hmm.
00:05:40Hmm.
00:05:41Hmm.
00:05:42Hmm.
00:05:43Hmm.
00:05:44Hmm.
00:05:46Hmm.
00:05:47Hmm.
00:05:48Hmm.
00:05:49Hmm.
00:05:50Hmm.
00:05:52Hmm.
00:05:53Hmm.
00:05:54Hmm.
00:05:55Hmm.
00:05:56Hmm.
00:05:57Hi, son.
00:05:58It's good having Annie here.
00:06:01It is.
00:06:02She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:05I like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:08Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:11Right here.
00:06:12Well, you seem like you're 100 miles away.
00:06:15I'm just tired.
00:06:17You sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:21What's wrong?
00:06:22I'm not pregnant.
00:06:24Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:26We've tried for so long.
00:06:28We have more than we can handle with Lou.
00:06:30Oh, I know, but...
00:06:33It's just that when Annie found out the news,
00:06:37it maybe won a baby of her own even more.
00:06:40Now that she's staying with us.
00:06:45No.
00:06:47We are going to have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:06:53All good things come in God's time,
00:06:55and maybe we should just let him decide.
00:06:59What if he doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:10Hey.
00:07:12Come on.
00:07:14Let's go help Lil finish the dishes, hmm?
00:07:17I guess I'd best be leaving now.
00:07:32Peter, please be careful.
00:07:33Yes.
00:07:34My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:37I love you.
00:07:38I love you too, man.
00:07:44Bye, ladies.
00:07:45Take good care of my Annie.
00:07:46Will do.
00:07:48Step up!
00:07:49Boy, are you all right?
00:07:59Boy, are you all right?
00:08:00I don't know.
00:08:03Yeah!
00:08:04Oh, no!
00:08:06No!
00:08:07Oh, please!
00:08:11Oh, oh, easy.
00:08:14Well, good time, isn't it?
00:08:19Bags.
00:08:20Got it.
00:08:21Check on the team, Mike.
00:08:24Welcome home, darling.
00:08:25Oh.
00:08:26You!
00:08:26You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:39Yes, sir.
00:08:40Hey, Owens.
00:08:41Welcome, Saxton.
00:08:42How's your trip?
00:08:44Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:08:46Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:08:48Is this your first time away from home?
00:08:49Yes, sir.
00:08:50Well, Saxton's a nice little town.
00:08:52I hope you like it.
00:08:54I expect so.
00:08:55Can I help you with your things?
00:08:57Don't have much.
00:08:59All right?
00:09:00Come on, let me show you the shop.
00:09:01Sounds good.
00:09:04So, we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:07Liberty work and rolling stock.
00:09:09Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:13Now, when your blows are even and you can work a straight piece of metal, those will be your tools.
00:09:18It's hard work.
00:09:19But you managed to make something that lasts a generation or two.
00:09:22Well, it gives you a sense of pride.
00:09:25I reckon that's true.
00:09:27What do you say?
00:09:29You ready to get started?
00:09:30Yes, sir.
00:09:31All right, then.
00:09:40How was your walk?
00:09:42You carrying around a 30-pound sack of flour?
00:09:46Slow day?
00:09:46Oh, 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.
00:09:53You know, when I was traveling through Selena last month, there was a rash of copperhead snake bites.
00:09:58It felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:01I haven't had anything as exciting as a snake bite in months.
00:10:05You should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve.
00:10:08It's our job as doctors to care about even the most minor illness or affliction.
00:10:12And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:16That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:20Linda, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:23You can tell me anything.
00:10:24You know that.
00:10:27Oh!
00:10:27What is it?
00:10:31It's a quick, sharp pain and shortness of breath and minor faintness.
00:10:36Let's get you to an examination.
00:10:37It's not necessary.
00:10:39Is the baby moving?
00:10:40It isn't that.
00:10:42It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:10:45Let me finish some things up and we'll get you home.
00:10:53You know, my pa says walking's good for man's constitution.
00:10:57You always walk?
00:10:59Well, we've never been riding.
00:11:01You walking to my camp?
00:11:02No.
00:11:03No.
00:11:04I ain't got a horse to give to Lil Ant.
00:11:07But he's still a little green.
00:11:09Pesty.
00:11:09I've been breaking him, getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:14Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:17I know nothing of saddle horses.
00:11:19Only harness, bro.
00:11:20I stick with wagons.
00:11:22You'd better for it.
00:11:22I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:28What happened today?
00:11:29Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:32And that's coming from the doctor and me.
00:11:33When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:36My mother-in-law.
00:11:37She's a midwife.
00:11:38Well, I wish I was the one delivering your baby.
00:11:40It's a doctor's job after all.
00:11:42I'm sure it's going to be fine.
00:11:43Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:11:54And you must be Joshua.
00:11:58Welcome to our home.
00:11:58Very nice to meet you, Ms. Owens.
00:12:00Uh, that's Dr. Owens.
00:12:03You're a doctor?
00:12:04Yes, as is my best friend, Dr. Annie Watson.
00:12:07It's a pleasure to meet you, Joshua.
00:12:09Ma'am, it's funny.
00:12:11I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:14Allowed?
00:12:15No, I just...
00:12:16And just who would we need permission from?
00:12:18Go easy on him, Lil.
00:12:19He just got here.
00:12:20I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:24Apparently not.
00:12:29That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:30We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:32You'll get used to it.
00:12:35Oh, now.
00:12:37Let's go get washed up.
00:12:38Smells like my favorite.
00:12:42Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:12:44Indeed.
00:12:58Miss Owens?
00:13:00Mr. Coyle?
00:13:01I just want you to know...
00:13:04I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:08I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:11Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:15I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:17Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:19They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:21A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:23I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:25I swear.
00:13:27It's just...
00:13:28Well...
00:13:30I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:32I'm apologizing.
00:13:34I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:37Apology accepted.
00:13:42I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:13:44Well, this isn't for school.
00:13:46So you read for fun?
00:13:47I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa let me.
00:13:50Well, all right.
00:13:52I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:13:54Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:14Nice young man.
00:14:15I hadn't noticed.
00:14:19Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:22Good night, Pa.
00:14:24Come in.
00:14:40How are you?
00:14:42I feel fine.
00:14:43Good night.
00:14:45Good night.
00:14:47Good night.
00:14:48Good night.
00:14:49Good night.
00:14:50Good night.
00:14:51Good night.
00:14:52Good night.
00:14:53Good night.
00:14:54Good night.
00:14:55Good night.
00:14:56Good night.
00:14:57Good night.
00:14:58Good night.
00:14:59Good night.
00:15:00Good night.
00:15:01Good night.
00:15:02Good night.
00:15:03Good night.
00:15:04Good night.
00:15:05Good night.
00:15:06Good night.
00:15:07Good night.
00:15:08Good night.
00:15:09Good night.
00:15:10Good night.
00:15:11Good night.
00:15:12Good night.
00:15:13Good night.
00:15:14Good night.
00:15:15Good night.
00:15:16Good night.
00:15:17Good night.
00:15:18Good night.
00:15:19Good night.
00:15:20Good night.
00:15:21What is...
00:15:30It's nice again.
00:15:41It's nice.
00:15:51It's nice.
00:16:21It's nice.
00:16:51Did she have a seizure?
00:17:07No, she has all the other symptoms.
00:17:09Well, I'll telegraph Peter first thing in the morning.
00:17:12Tell him what's happened.
00:17:14And let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:17:18Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:19Well, I made it all.
00:17:20Wire his mother.
00:17:22You said she lives in Spartan.
00:17:28Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:31Total rest for you, Mrs. Watson, in a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:35To being lazy, you mean.
00:17:37I cannot just lay around all day.
00:17:39I'm a doctor, remember?
00:17:40But I am your doctor and this is my home.
00:17:42And if it is enclampsia, you know bed rest is called for.
00:17:46Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:17:47Perhaps.
00:17:48But if not, I won't be sorry later.
00:17:51I love you.
00:17:53I love you too.
00:18:02Prepare for my peach.
00:18:03Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with Aunt Annie?
00:18:08No, you just run along to school.
00:18:11I'll post a note on the clinic and if someone really needs me, they know where to find me.
00:18:15Morning, ladies.
00:18:16Morning.
00:18:18Bye, Ma.
00:18:18Have a good day, darling.
00:18:20Bye, Ma.
00:18:20Bye.
00:18:22That girl kicks up a cloud of dust everywhere she goes.
00:18:26Here you go.
00:18:30Is this your way of telling me not to come home for supper?
00:18:32The other one is for Joshua.
00:18:34A young man just starting off looked like he could use a few more good meals.
00:18:38Do you have any idea how much I love you?
00:18:40Well, it never hurts to hear.
00:18:44I love you too, Lee Owens.
00:18:48Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:18:50All right.
00:18:52Have a good day, sweet darling.
00:19:02Belinda feels Annie's health as well as the baby's is better served staying here until after the delivery.
00:19:11I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:13Lee Owens.
00:19:13That's what he said.
00:19:24Doc Omer.
00:19:26Mr. McQueen.
00:19:27Sorry, we're closed today, but if you'd like to make an appointment.
00:19:30Were you the one that gave Mabel this tonic?
00:19:32Yes, it's iron for her anemia.
00:19:34Why you got to go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:36What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:39Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:19:41Give her that medicine.
00:19:42I don't need your magic potion.
00:19:44A doctor killed my sister with tonic.
00:19:47I don't know the details of your sister's death, but there's no magic to it.
00:19:52Your wife had a baby a month ago, and she has a very serious medical condition.
00:19:56Maybe if you weren't so hard-headed, you would realize that.
00:19:59Now, my advice...
00:20:00I don't need your mouth nor your advice, and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:03Doctors aren't worth a pootin' holler.
00:20:09Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:12Yes, I'm just frustrated at a very stubborn and hard-headed man.
00:20:16Roy McQueen is truly set in his ways, but he's still a child of our maker.
00:20:21He has no compassion for his wife's condition.
00:20:23Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times
00:20:25and lose sight of the compassion we should have for others?
00:20:30There I go preaching again.
00:20:31Oh, it's all right.
00:20:32I suppose I needed to hear it.
00:20:35I'll see you in church, Belinda.
00:20:36Good day.
00:20:37Good day.
00:20:39That's it.
00:20:50Steady blows.
00:20:51All right.
00:20:57Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:20:59Must run in the family.
00:21:00I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence, but she was adopted.
00:21:08Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:09Really?
00:21:10Huh.
00:21:10I never would have known.
00:21:12I mean, she and Mrs....
00:21:14I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:17Matter of fact.
00:21:18Yeah, I mean, it's just...
00:21:20Lillian's very pretty.
00:21:22Yeah, I know she's pretty.
00:21:23I'm truthfully not that hungry.
00:21:39Doctor's orders.
00:21:41Even if you don't feel up to it, you need to finish the entire bowl.
00:21:44I'm not a child, Belinda.
00:21:46And I'm a doctor.
00:21:47I think I know what's best for me.
00:21:48Knowing and doing are two entirely different things.
00:21:53Is that another contraction?
00:21:55No, the baby's just kicking.
00:21:57And I have to tell you, I'm a little relieved.
00:21:59I haven't felt a move since the contractions yesterday.
00:22:02You just said it was...
00:22:04He?
00:22:05How do you know it's a boy?
00:22:06I know it sounds silly, but...
00:22:09Mary thinks because I'm carrying so low that it'll be a boy.
00:22:12It is silly.
00:22:13That's an old wives' tale.
00:22:14There's no medical merit to it.
00:22:16Say what you want, but when Peter's sister was pregnant...
00:22:19Mary was concerned because she was carrying so far out in front.
00:22:22She said it would be a breached birth, and...
00:22:24She was right.
00:22:25One lucky guess, and she's got you believing made-up stories.
00:22:28Goodness, he's getting his exercise today.
00:22:31You want to feel?
00:22:32That's all right.
00:22:34Come on, Belinda.
00:22:35Don't be nervous.
00:22:36It's so strange.
00:22:42I never thought I'd be a mother.
00:22:44It suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world.
00:22:50I'm sorry.
00:22:52I've opened that wound, haven't I?
00:22:55Maybe we shouldn't talk about it.
00:22:57You know, I know so many women that have gotten pregnant without even trying.
00:23:01And Lee and I have been trying.
00:23:03We've both seen it take some time.
00:23:05You just can't get impatient with yourself.
00:23:09I look after this one woman, Mabel McQueen.
00:23:12She's had six babies in the past eight years without even trying.
00:23:15It's important to you, isn't it?
00:23:17We're here to talk whenever you'd like to.
00:23:27I'm here to talk whenever you'd like to.
00:23:30Please eat your soup, Annie.
00:23:31I was wondering where you'd run off to.
00:23:53I just looked in on Annie.
00:23:55She's out for the night.
00:23:57She keeps insisting she feels fine.
00:24:01I think I've heard that before.
00:24:05You two are so much alike, it's frightening.
00:24:09I suppose that's why we're such good friends.
00:24:13I noticed you didn't have Joshua over for supper tonight.
00:24:16I'm pretty sure he's sweet on Lil.
00:24:19I don't want the two of them spending too much time together.
00:24:22Why not? He's only a couple years older.
00:24:25Doc, he's an apprentice blacksmith. I want better for Lillian.
00:24:28I'm the wife of a blacksmith, and you don't hear me complaining.
00:24:31I spent the last five years trying to figure out how I tricked you into marrying me.
00:24:36You could have done much better.
00:24:37You didn't trick me into anything.
00:24:40I married you because I fell in love with you, Leon.
00:24:43And if Lillian and Joshua had taken interest in one another, I don't think it's our place to stand in their way.
00:24:48Besides, telling Lillian she can't have something is like daring to try to stop her.
00:24:54I get your point.
00:24:59I don't want to get in the way of her happiness.
00:25:01Still, you left a small town to follow your dream.
00:25:07And if Lill wants to go to college, I darn sure want to see it happen.
00:25:11I don't want her tied down to Saxon.
00:25:13I hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has.
00:25:21It's getting a little chilly.
00:25:23Want to turn in for the night?
00:25:25You go ahead.
00:25:25I'll be up in a little while.
00:25:27Don't be in such a hurry, pretty lady.
00:25:50Please allow me to pass.
00:25:52We need to get to know each other.
00:25:54I think not.
00:25:57I don't want to be late for school.
00:25:59I can teach you more than any school can.
00:26:01Excuse me.
00:26:04You mind letting the young lady pass?
00:26:06This ain't none of your affairs, sod buster.
00:26:07Ah, but it is.
00:26:09It ain't.
00:26:16Knock your head off, boy.
00:26:17Now you hold on a second.
00:26:19Now the good book tells me to turn the other cheek.
00:26:21Now I only have two.
00:26:22So after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:24That was the second cheek.
00:26:32You're breaking my wrist.
00:26:33Well, I understand.
00:26:34There's a fine doctor in town.
00:26:35Please don't.
00:26:36Please don't break.
00:26:37I trust I'll never see you around Miss Owens again.
00:26:40No, never.
00:26:41Good.
00:26:42Now get.
00:26:43Good morning, Miss Owens.
00:26:55You on your way to school?
00:26:57Indeed I am.
00:26:59May I walk with you?
00:27:00I did the best I could, Jim, but you better go easy on it, all right?
00:27:12Okay.
00:27:24My claw strikes me as a hard-working man.
00:27:26He lives and breathes work.
00:27:28Ma says sometimes he rolls open to sleep and tries to use his arms like a set of tongs.
00:27:32I guess that's the future I have to look forward to.
00:27:35It's not such a bad life, really.
00:27:40So what about you?
00:27:42A doctor like your mom?
00:27:44I don't know.
00:27:46I haven't decided.
00:27:47Maybe I want to be a lawyer or a famous writer like Harriet Beecher Stowe.
00:27:51One thing for sure, I want to go to college.
00:27:54Well, I better get to work.
00:27:56Have a nice day, Joshua.
00:27:59You too, Lily.
00:28:02I don't think you should be climbing the stairs, but I feel fine.
00:28:15What's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day.
00:28:18But it's only been three days since you had pain and felt faint.
00:28:21You know the symptoms and treatment as well as I do.
00:28:24That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:30Is that singing?
00:28:31I wouldn't know that voice anywhere.
00:28:33That's Mary.
00:28:34Your mother-in-law?
00:28:35What reason does she have to be here?
00:28:37Mary doesn't need a reason to do anything.
00:28:39I don't care, my God.
00:28:41I don't want to have a failing.
00:28:45Free failing.
00:28:52Well, this must be it.
00:28:53Thank you, my good man.
00:28:59And you have a blessed day.
00:29:03And you must be the infamous Doc Owen.
00:29:07Thank you, my good man, and you have a blessed day.
00:29:09And you must be the infamous Doc Owen.
00:29:11Mary Watson, oh, she knew that already.
00:29:12Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:14Mary, would you be a dear and bring my thing to love?
00:29:24Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:26Where else would you expect me to be, oh, my little lamb?
00:29:29What?
00:29:30But didn't you get the telegraph from Belinda's husband?
00:29:31I did, that's why I'm here.
00:29:33I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend.
00:29:37But I certainly wasn't going to miss the birth of my first grandson.
00:29:42I've missed you.
00:29:43Oh, it's darker than the inside of a cow in here.
00:29:46Yes, it is.
00:29:47Oh, please don't do that.
00:29:48What?
00:29:49She's not a mushroom.
00:29:51She needs light.
00:29:52All right, Doc, let's sit up so I can get a good look.
00:29:56I'm sorry, what are you doing?
00:29:57I'm getting her upright.
00:29:57But if she stays in this bed too long, she'll get a crick in her back and it'll make delivery
00:30:03much more painful.
00:30:04I think it's better that she's on bed rest for the remainder of her term.
00:30:07It's not going to hurt her to sit up.
00:30:10When you've delivered as many babies as I have, you learn a few things.
00:30:14Well, I've been to medical school for years and rest is the proper treatment.
00:30:18You don't learn everything in medical school.
00:30:21That is a matter of opinion and I wholeheartedly disagree.
00:30:24Ladies, I'm not a sack of flour.
00:30:27There I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw.
00:30:39I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night.
00:30:45I expected twins, not triplets.
00:30:49In a blizzard?
00:30:49Oh, the little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:30:54Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:30:56Ladies, women giving birth are always an emergency.
00:31:02That's the penalty we pay for Eve eating the apple.
00:31:06It is not a penalty.
00:31:08Wow, Mrs. Watson, you sure got an exciting life.
00:31:11Well, I should probably get you up to your room, Annie.
00:31:14You let that little fella start running your life now, you'll be lacing his shoes when he's 30.
00:31:20Yes, Annie told me you believe it's a boy.
00:31:22Believe? Nothing.
00:31:23It's a fact.
00:31:25Honestly, Mary, you can't possibly...
00:31:26Actually, I am a little tired.
00:31:29I'm gonna go to bed.
00:31:29I can manage on my own.
00:31:34Good night, all.
00:31:36Good night, Annie.
00:31:36Rest well, dear.
00:31:37Good night, Annie.
00:31:39Good night, Annie.
00:31:44There is no way to tell whether...
00:31:45Oh, I think it's time we all settle down.
00:31:47Huh?
00:31:48We'll have a full day tomorrow.
00:31:49Thank you for dinner, Dr. Holmes.
00:31:59Joshua, William told us that you came to her rescue.
00:32:03Our mother and I both appreciate it.
00:32:05It was my pleasure, sir.
00:32:06Thank you again.
00:32:10I'll walk you out.
00:32:19Aren't they the most adorable couple?
00:32:26So tell me, how was Captain Nemo this evening?
00:32:30When I left him, he was exploring the ruins of Atlantis, although I can't say for sure what he does when I'm not looking.
00:32:36I never met a girl who made a book sound so interesting.
00:32:39You can borrow it if you like.
00:32:40Oh, no, I'm not sure if I'm sold on Nemo just yet.
00:32:44Maybe you could read something to me, though.
00:32:46Just so I can find out if it's my kind of story.
00:32:48I could do that.
00:32:50Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:32:53Maybe on Saturday?
00:32:54We can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:32:58I think I know just the place.
00:33:00Lee Owens, you are not spying on our only daughter.
00:33:03I'm not spying on her.
00:33:04I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:12Good night.
00:33:18Let's see what you got there.
00:33:35Well, you're really improving.
00:33:39Thank you, sir.
00:33:41Trying my best to impress you.
00:33:44As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:33:48Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you, maybe, um, Lily and I...
00:33:55You want permission to court Lily, right?
00:34:00Yes, sir.
00:34:01Well, I don't want her to distract her from her goals.
00:34:04I promise I'll be respectful of her and not get in the way of her schooling.
00:34:07I know how much she wants to go to college.
00:34:09Well, I'll think about it.
00:34:13All right?
00:34:14I understand.
00:34:16Meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:20Lily wants his order by noon.
00:34:21Yes, sir.
00:34:23You're going to be late opening your clinic.
00:34:26I don't feel comfortable leaving Annie here all alone,
00:34:29and I certainly don't feel comfortable with her being out of bed this much.
00:34:32You know, I wish the two of you wouldn't talk about me as if I wasn't sitting right here.
00:34:36Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:38You must be so frustrated, pooped up inside all the time.
00:34:44I will be here with her all day.
00:34:47You tend to your patients, and we'll see you at supper.
00:34:51If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:34:58Have a nice day.
00:35:03Praise the Lord, they're free.
00:35:07Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:10We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:15Oh, it's a town.
00:35:16Doc Owens, can I talk to you?
00:35:27Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:32I only have a minute.
00:35:33I left Lloyd at the general store.
00:35:35Said I was running to the butcher.
00:35:36What can I do for you, Mabel?
00:35:38Doc, I feel terrible.
00:35:39This sickness, it's just getting worse.
00:35:41I'm dizzy all the time, and I can barely pick up the youngins.
00:35:44That's because your anemia is getting worse.
00:35:46Your body needs iron.
00:35:47You're only going to get sicker.
00:35:49What can I do to make it better?
00:35:50I already told you.
00:35:51Vegetables are the tonic.
00:35:53If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:35:56I tried to take the tonic.
00:35:57Really, I did.
00:35:58It even started to feel a little stronger.
00:36:00And then Lloyd found it, and you know the rest.
00:36:04I certainly do.
00:36:04He threw a bottle at me.
00:36:06I'm sorry for that.
00:36:07Really, I am.
00:36:08He was just upset.
00:36:09He didn't mean anything by it.
00:36:10He's a wonderful husband and a father.
00:36:13Maybe.
00:36:14But I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
00:36:21Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:22Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:22Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:22Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:28Your friend Belinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:36:46I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me, but everybody likes me.
00:36:51She isn't happy.
00:36:53She's been trying to have a baby.
00:36:56And Belinda just feels discouraged.
00:36:58Me showing up in my condition and staying till the baby comes.
00:37:02I think it's just another painful reminder.
00:37:05Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:37:08If it's baby trouble she's got, I've surely got the cure.
00:37:13How about a sugary treat?
00:37:19Sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:20It isn't here yet.
00:37:21It's been over a week.
00:37:22You said it'd be here by now.
00:37:24The freight line lost the shipping order.
00:37:26There's nothing I can do about it.
00:37:28There's something I could do if there was another general store within ten miles of here.
00:37:32It'll be here within a week.
00:37:34I'm here, Lloyd.
00:37:38What took you so long?
00:37:40I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:40There was a little bit of a line.
00:37:42There's always an excuse.
00:37:44Let's get out of here.
00:37:44I got fences to mend before sundown.
00:37:46She's just feeling poorly or late.
00:37:59She's got a newborn and five youngins.
00:38:02Says it wears her out.
00:38:03You think a mother doesn't work?
00:38:05I've seen this a bunch during and after pregnancy.
00:38:11This is a severe case of anemia.
00:38:13She don't need Colin, lady.
00:38:15I know how to take care of my wife.
00:38:17No, you don't.
00:38:19You are selfish.
00:38:21And rude.
00:38:23And contemptuous.
00:38:24And you can't see the forest for the trees.
00:38:27Doc Owens is trying to save your wife's life.
00:38:31She's dying.
00:38:34You get her over to the clinic.
00:38:36And you beg Doc Owens for more of that tonic.
00:38:39Don't talk to me, Lloyd.
00:38:41I'll talk to you any way I want.
00:38:43Get her to the clinic.
00:38:48You better pray to the merciful and good Lord
00:38:53that she doesn't slam the door in your ungrateful face.
00:38:58Amen.
00:39:00Amen.
00:39:00Amen.
00:39:07Your home's dead now.
00:39:08I don't want to.
00:39:11I gave you a double dose, so do not take any more today.
00:39:16No, ma'am.
00:39:17Starting tomorrow morning, take two teaspoons every morning.
00:39:19And if you don't get your strength back in four days,
00:39:21get back in here.
00:39:27I'd like to apologize.
00:39:30The last time we spoke, I lost my temper.
00:39:33What'll owe you for the tonic?
00:39:35Only that you allow her to keep taking it.
00:39:37You don't need no charity.
00:39:38The first one was already paid for.
00:39:40This is just a replacement.
00:39:43Step up!
00:39:43Yes, dear.
00:39:59I'm sorry.
00:40:03You're sleeping?
00:40:03Well, not anymore.
00:40:07My apprentice wants to court Lillian.
00:40:10His name is Joshua.
00:40:14I told him I'd think about it.
00:40:17Well, then think.
00:40:20Don't think too long.
00:40:21Lillian's grown up.
00:40:22I'm having a hard time with it.
00:40:24You're having a hard time letting her grow up.
00:40:28I was trying to protect her.
00:40:29I don't think she needs protection from Joshua.
00:40:32He's a very nice young man.
00:40:35That's all you have to say about it?
00:40:38Good night, sweetheart.
00:40:39All right.
00:40:44All right.
00:40:47Tomorrow, I'll give Joshua my permission to court Lillian.
00:40:50I don't think I don't know about your little excursion with Annie.
00:41:06This town is filled with gossips.
00:41:07Can't keep a secret for more than five minutes.
00:41:10It's a pretty little town, Sykeston.
00:41:12I can see why you like it here.
00:41:15May I ask why you feel the need to go against every instruction I have for Annie?
00:41:19I don't deliberately go against your word.
00:41:23We just disagree about how to treat her.
00:41:26This isn't a competition, Mary.
00:41:28If a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia,
00:41:31I wouldn't dream of telling you how to treat them.
00:41:34That's your business.
00:41:37Babies are my business.
00:41:39Have been for 30 years.
00:41:41It's just there's been so many new advancements.
00:41:43Sometimes the old ways are best.
00:41:46Annie may have a serious condition which could be fatal to both her and the baby.
00:41:50Are you sure?
00:41:51Of course I'm not sure, but I'm not taking any chances.
00:41:54So it's true what they say that doctors only practice medicine.
00:42:01This conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere.
00:42:06So Annie tells me you're barren.
00:42:08Or, uh, or having trouble anyway.
00:42:10I don't think that's any of your concern.
00:42:13I see this problem a lot.
00:42:15If you want, I could give you some remedies that are guaranteed to work.
00:42:18I know how it's done, Mary.
00:42:20I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
00:42:23So what do you think is the problem?
00:42:24You're too high strung.
00:42:26Folks worry too much about work, family, or whether or not they can have a baby.
00:42:33Then years go by and nothing happens.
00:42:36Then one day, they decide to stop trying.
00:42:39And before you know it, they find they're with child.
00:42:43So your sage advice for me is to relax.
00:42:47Read a book before you go to bed.
00:42:49Take some deep breath.
00:42:52And before you know it, I'll be back to deliver your little one.
00:42:56I'll make sure I try that.
00:42:57Every baby boy needs his own blanket.
00:43:20Don't you agree?
00:43:21Yes, I do.
00:43:21I do.
00:43:27I'm going to head to the shop for a few hours.
00:43:31I'll be back in time for supper.
00:43:32Don't you ever take time off?
00:43:34Oh, the good book says that a man who doesn't work doesn't deserve to eat.
00:43:38I ain't got a lot of work to do.
00:43:40We just thought you'd have more time off once you hired an apprentice.
00:43:42And I do.
00:43:43Now I'm only two weeks behind instead of six.
00:43:48Jillian, you look lovely.
00:43:50Where are you headed off to?
00:43:51Joshua and I are having a picnic.
00:43:53You enjoy yourself.
00:43:54And please tell Joshua that we said hello.
00:43:57I will.
00:43:57You'll be back in time for supper now.
00:43:59No exceptions.
00:44:00I will.
00:44:00I promise.
00:44:03Bye, everyone.
00:44:04Bye, dear.
00:44:19I love it.
00:44:20The sea is everything.
00:44:21It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe.
00:44:23Its breath is pure and healthy.
00:44:25It is an immense desert where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.
00:44:30This sea is the only embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence.
00:44:34It is nothing but love and emotion.
00:44:37This is the living infinite, as one of your poets has said.
00:44:39I've been reading for almost two hours.
00:44:43You must be bored.
00:44:45I don't think I can ever get bored listening to you talk.
00:44:48You're just saying that.
00:44:49No.
00:44:50I'm not.
00:44:50I swear.
00:44:51It's just...
00:44:52I'd like this Captain Nemo if he weren't holding his friends hostage all the time.
00:44:56Well, I can't let them go and they might tell the world who he is.
00:44:59Twenty thousand leagues is an allegory.
00:45:00It's about personal freedom.
00:45:02Nemo means nobody in Latin.
00:45:04He's invisible to the world and wants to keep it that way.
00:45:07You're brilliant.
00:45:08You know that?
00:45:09I am not.
00:45:17Lee?
00:45:18You working today?
00:45:21You work harder than any man I know.
00:45:25Well, I can't let the customers down.
00:45:27Besides, it gives me thinking time.
00:45:29Anything that you'd like to share with your pastor?
00:45:32This is a lot of rumbling around in my head like a marble.
00:45:35Sometimes it helps to speak it out loud.
00:45:38Talking to yourself only gets the answer you're looking for.
00:45:41I just can't figure Lillian out.
00:45:45I'm trying to be a good father to her, but...
00:45:47Our children grow up, start spreading their wings.
00:45:51A father has to be aware of that and try to grow with his child.
00:45:56Yeah.
00:45:57Belinda tolerates more than I do.
00:45:59She's a mother.
00:46:00The good Lord gave them the patience of Job when it comes to raising their children.
00:46:04He's short-changed fathers in that area.
00:46:08Yeah.
00:46:09Yeah.
00:46:09I really wish you would get some rest.
00:46:17I feel fine.
00:46:20Looks like someone may have been wrong about my condition.
00:46:23Perhaps.
00:46:26So, if things improve with Lee?
00:46:28He says he isn't bothered, but...
00:46:31I still sense that he's disappointed we can't have a baby.
00:46:34Well, maybe you're just being overly sensitive and you think that he's disappointed.
00:46:38Maybe.
00:46:39You know, I'm starting to think that maybe she regrets marrying me.
00:46:43Now, Lee, that is just plain nonsense.
00:46:47She's proud as a peacock that she married you.
00:46:49Maybe.
00:46:49Have you spoken to her about it?
00:46:53In a roundabout way.
00:46:54Of course, she says I'm wrong.
00:46:57Still, she seems kind of distant lately.
00:46:59She's got something on her mind.
00:47:02Most women do when they get like that.
00:47:04You know, we're, uh...
00:47:07Trying to have a baby.
00:47:10So far, no luck.
00:47:12You have to have faith.
00:47:15Sometimes it's hard, Reverend.
00:47:16Talk to her about your feelings.
00:47:21I'd best be getting home.
00:47:23This is Dave, so give me an earful if I'm late for supper.
00:47:26And myself included.
00:47:33Well, I see.
00:47:35You didn't need my help putting supper on the table.
00:47:39You're taking a nap, man.
00:47:40We just wanted you to be able to rest.
00:47:42I'll rest enough when I'm dead.
00:47:43Give me that knife before you cut yourself.
00:47:54So, do you miss your family?
00:47:56I do.
00:47:57My pa's a farmer back in Pennsylvania.
00:48:00He wanted more from me than to spend my entire life plowing fields.
00:48:03So, he said if I got good enough, maybe I can find some work in Philadelphia.
00:48:07Sounds like he cares about you a lot.
00:48:10Yeah, my family's pretty close.
00:48:11It's kind of strange, though.
00:48:14You know, being out here all by myself.
00:48:17I have three sisters and two brothers and not a moment of peace.
00:48:20Back at the boarding house, I got nothing but quiet.
00:48:22I know what you mean.
00:48:24I mostly grew up in an orphanage until Ma and Pa adopted me when I was ten.
00:48:28I'd spent so long in a room with other kids, I couldn't wait to have a room of my own.
00:48:33Now I miss having someone to talk to.
00:48:35Yeah, me.
00:48:38I do, don't I?
00:48:41So, tell me something.
00:48:44How'd you ever find a place like this, anyway?
00:48:47I stumbled across it by accident while riding one day.
00:48:50But it's so far off the main roads, no one really comes out here.
00:48:53So, I brought some of my old stuff and now it's where I come to be alone.
00:48:58I can see why.
00:48:59Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape.
00:49:03This reminds me of it.
00:49:06Well, the timber still seems...
00:49:08I wouldn't do that.
00:49:09Whoa!
00:49:13Not as sound as you might think.
00:49:15You're probably right.
00:49:18I think it's best we pack up.
00:49:24Well, I'm happy to see you and Mary are getting along.
00:49:26You know, her fertility advice to me was to relax and read a book before bed.
00:49:33Did you try it?
00:49:34Of course not.
00:49:36She's been doing this longer than we've been alive.
00:49:38I can't believe you, Annie Watson.
00:49:40You've spent three years in medical school, five years practicing medicine, and you're gonna believe that woman's folk magic?
00:49:46It's rubbish, plain and simple.
00:49:49We ask people to believe in things they don't understand, and they do.
00:49:52Because they have trust and faith in us, just like they have faith in the Lord.
00:49:57Okay, it is not the same thing, and we're talking about Mary here.
00:49:59Why do you have such a hard time believing in Mary's ways?
00:50:02Okay, Mary is a lovely woman, but you have to admit, she's a little touched on the head.
00:50:08She doesn't like me any more than I like her.
00:50:11Really?
00:50:12The other day at the general store, Mary defended you to the ends of the earth.
00:50:16What are you talking about?
00:50:17The man with the anemic wife?
00:50:19The one that you said was such a success story?
00:50:22Mary is the reason that he brought her back to you.
00:50:24That's why Lloyd McQueen brought his wife back to me?
00:50:27Mary unloaded on him like a tornado.
00:50:30Spoke up for you, and just plain made him cower.
00:50:35Come on!
00:50:36Go!
00:50:40Thank you!
00:50:41Thank you!
00:50:45Do you have any idea what time it is?
00:50:46Hi, Pa.
00:50:48You were supposed to be home for supper.
00:50:50Joshua and I weren't that hungry, so we decided to stay out a little while longer.
00:50:53Well, it's well past supper. That's more than a little while.
00:50:56Why are you so angry?
00:50:58I thought I could trust your judgment, but apparently I was wrong.
00:51:00What's that supposed to mean?
00:51:01It means you can't spend any more time with Joshua, Quoyle, until I say so.
00:51:05You'll go to school, help your mother at the clinic, and come straight home.
00:51:08For how long?
00:51:09As long as it takes me to trust you again.
00:51:11That's completely unfair!
00:51:13Joshua's only two years older than I am, and no one tells him what to do!
00:51:15No one said the world was fair, young lady.
00:51:19Lil.
00:51:22I was worried about you.
00:51:23Hello, Joshua.
00:51:48Good afternoon, man.
00:51:49Uh, Mr. Owens told me how much trouble I caused the other night.
00:51:55I just wanted to come by and say how sorry I am for keeping Lillian out so late.
00:51:59You needn't place the blame all on yourself.
00:52:02She's old enough to know better.
00:52:03No, I'm still sorry.
00:52:05Ma, I can't find the...
00:52:07bandages.
00:52:08Pa said I can't see you for a while.
00:52:14Pa said you couldn't go out with Joshua.
00:52:17He said nothing about the two of you seeing each other.
00:52:19Thanks, Ma.
00:52:24Well, I have work to do.
00:52:26It was nice to see you, Joshua.
00:52:28There's always room open at the dinner table for you.
00:52:30Thank you, ma'am.
00:52:38Sorry to get you into trouble.
00:52:39You didn't do anything wrong, and neither did I.
00:52:41I'm a grown woman, and I don't need my pa deciding how late I can and can't stay out.
00:52:45He's just worried about you is all.
00:52:47Well, he doesn't need to be.
00:52:49There's no need to be crossed, Lillian.
00:52:50I mean, I'll still be here when you get off punishment.
00:52:53I'm not going anywhere.
00:52:56I wanted to return this.
00:52:57Finished it.
00:52:58Already?
00:52:59I just gave it to you.
00:53:01Once I got started, it was hard to quit.
00:53:04I mean, the sun was already up when I finally closed the book.
00:53:06So you stayed up all night just to read about Captain Nemo?
00:53:08No.
00:53:09I don't think I would have gotten much sleep with or without him.
00:53:15I'll be thinking about you.
00:53:16Me too.
00:53:20Mary?
00:53:38In here, dear.
00:53:46Annie, should you be up?
00:53:48Where are you going?
00:53:50I've decided to head on home.
00:53:52I can see you're in good hands.
00:53:55You're leaving?
00:53:56Before the baby comes?
00:53:58Oh, you'll do fine.
00:54:02And besides, the last thing you need is an old granny midwife gumming up the works.
00:54:08This doesn't have anything to do with the disagreement between you and Belinda, does it?
00:54:12Oh, no, no, no.
00:54:14Truth is, I'm feeling homesick.
00:54:20I miss sleeping in my own bed.
00:54:23And my patients back home don't have a smart lady doctor to take care of them.
00:54:29If you've made your decision, I can't stop you.
00:54:31I would really love for you to stay, though.
00:54:34I want my family here when the baby comes.
00:54:37Belinda is your family, sweetheart.
00:54:40And Peter will be back with you next week.
00:54:43Besides, all of you will be home before long, and somebody's got to get the house ready.
00:54:49I'm going to go home to check on Annie.
00:54:53I shouldn't be alone.
00:54:54If there's an emergency, just send them my way or come running, which you're very good at.
00:54:59I will, Ma.
00:55:00And thank you.
00:55:01For what?
00:55:02For understanding about me and Joshua.
00:55:04Believe it or not, I was your age once.
00:55:05I'm not going to keep her from the church social.
00:55:21You may not be able to go with her, but you'll see her there.
00:55:25In the meantime, we have an order to finish.
00:55:30All right, I like your attitude.
00:55:35You're leaving.
00:55:41Time for me to go home.
00:55:43I'm sorry to hear that.
00:55:44I'm going to see her off into town.
00:55:46Annie, I just don't think it's a good idea for you to be carrying luggage and walking into town.
00:55:50It was my idea, Belinda.
00:55:52And I've been all over this whole territory through my entire pregnancy.
00:55:55I think I can handle a short walk into town.
00:55:58Doc Owens!
00:56:02Danny.
00:56:02Lillian told me he was here.
00:56:06Ma's in labor.
00:56:07Okay, there's a horse and buggy in the barn.
00:56:08Help me hook it up.
00:56:09Yes, ma'am.
00:56:13I trust you weren't walking to town along the way.
00:56:16All right, Peach Pie.
00:56:18You get back in the house and stay put.
00:56:22Belinda and I have a baby to deliver.
00:56:24Mrs. Travis is my patient.
00:56:26If you find you don't need me, you have my permission to just shove me out of the way.
00:56:32But if you do, I'm there.
00:56:37Fine, but only because I don't have time to argue with you.
00:56:49Thank you, young man.
00:56:50It's never taken this long.
00:56:57The first few hours seem normal, but then it just stopped.
00:56:59What stopped?
00:57:00The contractions?
00:57:01No, Doc, the baby.
00:57:02It's like it's stuck, but I can't see the head.
00:57:04I'll see you to her.
00:57:05Your mama's gonna be fine.
00:57:09It's a fetal dystocia.
00:57:12A what?
00:57:12The baby's shoulder is stuck.
00:57:14What are you fixing to do with that?
00:57:15We have to get the baby out before it suffocates.
00:57:17We start pulling.
00:57:19We could make things worse.
00:57:21What should we do?
00:57:23Well, if you can't get the baby out from the inside, you'd try it from the outside.
00:57:29All right, help me with her now.
00:57:31That's good.
00:57:32What are we doing?
00:57:34We're gonna flatten out her hip bones.
00:57:38She's trying to stay down for me.
00:57:41Now, we're gonna see you're stuck and who's not.
00:57:44It's gonna be all right.
00:58:12Pa?
00:58:16Pa?
00:58:20Hello, Joshua.
00:58:24Where's my pa?
00:58:28He's on delivery, then headed home.
00:58:32I'd sure like to go to the ice cream social.
00:58:34I'd sure like to ask you to go with me.
00:58:36So?
00:58:38Your pa said I could see you there.
00:58:40But I can't escort you.
00:58:42Sorry.
00:59:00Joshua.
00:59:02Pa is being so unreasonable.
00:59:04We were late coming home, okay?
00:59:06Don't tell me you're on his side.
00:59:08What's the difference in an hour or so?
00:59:10We got home just fine.
00:59:12He just doesn't trust me.
00:59:14Your pa had no way of knowing whether you are right
00:59:16when you didn't make it home on time.
00:59:18You sound just like pa.
00:59:20Ma is the only one who understands.
00:59:22Lillian, wait a second.
00:59:24I don't know.
00:59:26I don't know.
00:59:28I don't know.
00:59:30I don't know.
00:59:36Get out! Get out!
00:59:38Get out!
00:59:40It's a beautiful baby boy and your wife is fine.
00:59:54Can I see them?
00:59:56Shortly.
00:59:58Well, looks like we got ourselves a baby brother.
01:00:10Isn't he beautiful?
01:00:12He sure is.
01:00:14He better be.
01:00:16Leave it to a boy to jam up the works.
01:00:30Uh, that's not doctor's work.
01:00:32It doesn't matter who does it, just as long as it gets done.
01:00:36I learned something today that they didn't teach me in medical school.
01:00:54I hate it.
01:01:00I hate it.
01:01:02I hate it.
01:01:04I hate it.
01:01:06I hate it.
01:01:26All right.
01:01:28Whoa.
01:01:30You seen Lillian?
01:01:42No, why?
01:01:43Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:01:44She's been missing all afternoon.
01:01:46We got in an argument at the shop over Mr. Owens and she stormed off.
01:01:49Said you were the only one who understands her.
01:01:51We were hoping she'd run up to find you.
01:01:53She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:01:56It's about to get dark outside.
01:01:58She gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:00I think I know where she is.
01:02:01I think I know where she is.
01:02:03It's worse this time.
01:02:04I feel like I could faint.
01:02:05Okay, okay.
01:02:06Let's get her inside.
01:02:07It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:08It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:09It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:21Oh, my God.
01:02:22Oh, your God.
01:02:23What?
01:02:24Oh, my God.
01:02:25I don't know where she is.
01:02:26Oh, my God.
01:02:27I don't know where she is.
01:02:28Oh, my God.
01:02:29I don't know where she is.
01:02:30It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:31I don't know.
01:03:01How much further?
01:03:05It's just up ahead.
01:03:14How are you feeling?
01:03:16I'm really not as light as it is before.
01:03:18I like to just go to bed.
01:03:20Let's get you upstairs to a darkened room.
01:03:23Doctor's orders.
01:03:31Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:03:36Whoa.
01:04:01Was it like this before?
01:04:02No, sir.
01:04:04Looks like there is a cave-in.
01:04:06She might be hurt.
01:04:09This is one of her lamps.
01:04:10Come on.
01:04:11Let's go.
01:04:12Lil!
01:04:14Lil!
01:04:22It's right up there.
01:04:24I see her.
01:04:25Lil!
01:04:31Lil!
01:04:32Give me a hand with this.
01:04:34One, two, three.
01:04:39You got it?
01:04:41Lil!
01:04:42Lil!
01:04:44Lil!
01:04:45Come on.
01:04:46Talk to me, pumpkin.
01:04:47Come on.
01:04:53Pa?
01:04:54Yeah.
01:04:56I'm here, Ronnie.
01:04:59Just take it easy.
01:05:00Just stay down, all right?
01:05:04I'm gonna get you out of here.
01:05:05Okay.
01:05:06Okay.
01:05:06How's Lillian?
01:05:31A few cuts and bruises, but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:36She's out for the night.
01:05:39Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:05:41Give her a couple of days.
01:05:42She'll be right as rain.
01:05:44At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:05:47Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:05:50Ah.
01:05:51This too shall pass.
01:05:53Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:05:59True miracles.
01:06:00Are you still fretting about the baby-making?
01:06:03I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:07Hmm?
01:06:07Give it up if you want.
01:06:09But I'm telling you, the shine in your hair is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:16You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:18Doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:19It only matters what you believe.
01:06:21What do you mean?
01:06:22Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:26It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:29I'm sorry I doubted you.
01:06:34You didn't deserve it.
01:06:36The Lord says we are to forgive if we expect to be forgiven.
01:06:41Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning and all is forgiven.
01:06:47That's a promise.
01:06:48Late night tonight.
01:06:59Everyone's worn out.
01:07:01A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:09You know, I think I might read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:15Really?
01:07:16You never read in bed.
01:07:18I think it'll do me good.
01:07:20Help me unwind after the long day we've all had.
01:07:23Hmm.
01:07:29Doc.
01:07:31I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:35Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:39And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage.
01:07:41You need a good home.
01:07:42You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of her home?
01:07:46I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:07:50Always have been.
01:07:51Always will be.
01:07:55Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:07:56I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:08I love you, too.
01:08:12Good night.
01:08:12Oh, all right.
01:08:15I need to read your book now.
01:08:16Okay.
01:08:19All right.
01:08:21I'll just go to sleep.
01:08:22I'm sure I can't help you read it, or no.
01:08:31All right.
01:08:33Shouldn't you be in bed?
01:08:44My ball and chain let me come downstairs.
01:08:48She has her mind set on going to the ice cream social.
01:08:51What if I find a shady, comfortable place to just sit and eat ice cream?
01:08:55You are not going to the social.
01:08:57I am a doctor.
01:08:58I vote yes.
01:08:59Well, that's one vote for Dr. Annie, and one vote for the midwife.
01:09:03I guess you've got the tie-breaking vote, Doc.
01:09:09I'm sorry, Annie.
01:09:10I'm going to have to side with the midwife.
01:09:12But I love ice cream.
01:09:14Then I'll send you some.
01:09:15It's not the same.
01:09:16How do I know you're not going to sneak out when we're gone?
01:09:18Don't give it a second thought, Doc.
01:09:20Look, this old ball and chain will be sitting right here like a prison warden.
01:09:25You're both against me.
01:09:27That's right.
01:09:27Read your book and pout.
01:09:42Don't you look beautiful?
01:09:44Except for this.
01:09:45I don't know who will even notice that.
01:09:47Even Joshua?
01:09:48Especially Joshua.
01:09:50Thanks for telling Joshua you're going to escort me to the social.
01:09:53You're still coming with your mother and I, right?
01:09:56I told him I wanted to walk in with my family and see him from afar.
01:09:59That's very romantic.
01:10:00Must be from all the books I read.
01:10:04Pa.
01:10:06I'm sorry for not making curfew the other night.
01:10:09I know you were just worried about me.
01:10:11Don't worry about it.
01:10:13You're growing up so fast sometimes I can't keep up with you.
01:10:17Thanks, Pa.
01:10:18Come here.
01:10:20And then he stepped like this.
01:10:37Here you go, son.
01:10:38Come here, honey.
01:10:39Come here, honey.
01:10:41Come here, honey.
01:10:41Come here, honey.
01:10:41Come here, honey.
01:10:42Here you go.
01:10:44Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:10:46No, thank you.
01:10:47No, thank you, Joshua.
01:10:55Hey, partner.
01:10:56How's your ice cream?
01:10:59Doc Owens, can we talk?
01:11:01Lloyd, do you know my husband Lee?
01:11:04Lloyd?
01:11:05I want to thank you.
01:11:07Mabel's as different as nine a day.
01:11:09It's all I can do to keep up with her.
01:11:11Well, you do look like a brand new person.
01:11:13I've had a lot more energy.
01:11:15I still need some extra sleep in the afternoons.
01:11:17I'm getting stronger every day.
01:11:19Well, the best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed to receive with a joyful spirit.
01:11:24It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:26Well, I, uh, mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:33Thanks again, Doc Ed.
01:11:34It was my pleasure.
01:11:35And I should be the one to apologize to you, Mabel.
01:11:39I had no right to be cross with you when you needed my help.
01:11:42I hope you can forgive me.
01:11:44There's nothing to forgive.
01:11:48Have a good day.
01:11:53Wow.
01:11:53That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:11:58You like some ice cream?
01:12:00I'd love some.
01:12:10I got Lee's telegrams.
01:12:20Where's Annie?
01:12:20The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:23Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:25I need Belinda now.
01:12:26I want to see Annie.
01:12:28Get Belinda now.
01:12:35You look beautiful.
01:12:36Say, you look handsome.
01:12:40I still can't believe it.
01:12:42Can't believe what?
01:12:43I bet I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:12:50That's very sweet of you to say, Joshua.
01:12:52I love you.
01:12:53Yeah.
01:12:53Sounds like a fucking mess.
01:12:57Sure.
01:12:58I'll meet you.
01:12:58I'll meet you.
01:12:58I'll meet you.
01:13:00Oh, dear.
01:13:01Dear.
01:13:03Yeah.
01:13:03Yeah.
01:13:03Oh.
01:13:05Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:07Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:08Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:10Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:12Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:23Melinda!
01:13:24Stop going!
01:13:25I need you!
01:13:27Whoa!
01:13:28Whoa!
01:13:32Melinda!
01:13:33Peter!
01:13:33It's Annie.
01:13:34You've got to come quick.
01:13:36Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:38Yes, sir.
01:13:39Deer.
01:13:40Yeah!
01:13:40Yeah!
01:13:41Stand back.
01:13:42You're going out.
01:13:43Dog it!
01:13:44Yeah!
01:13:49Mary, thank God you're back.
01:13:52She's had a seizure.
01:13:53I've got her in bed.
01:13:55Pete, you're the best way down here.
01:14:00There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:09Dear Lord, please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:18Amen.
01:14:19Amen.
01:14:21Thank you, Lee.
01:14:22You're welcome.
01:14:24Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:24Peter.
01:14:38Peter.
01:14:39He's waiting downstairs.
01:14:42Right.
01:14:44It is Eclipsia.
01:14:46I'm afraid so.
01:14:50Please save my baby.
01:14:51You know what you have to do.
01:15:03I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:05What did she mean?
01:15:20You know what has to be done.
01:15:22That baby has to come out if we're to save it.
01:15:25Even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:27That baby is ready.
01:15:28She was talking about a cesarean delivery.
01:15:32Which I could do at the clinic, but under very crude conditions.
01:15:36Have you ever done one?
01:15:38I did one once at a hospital in Boston.
01:15:41But I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:15:44And there wasn't any clamsy involved.
01:15:46Is there no other choice?
01:15:49Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:15:51Well then, we best get that labor going.
01:15:55What is that?
01:16:02Scotch broom with a little vanilla to help it go down.
01:16:05Women have been using it for centuries.
01:16:08Scotch broom is a weed?
01:16:09A weed the good lord made.
01:16:12His wonders to perceive.
01:16:14Doesn't work.
01:16:15Sure as the sunrise.
01:16:17A little of this,
01:16:19and we'll have our baby boy in no time.
01:16:22Is there anything else I can do?
01:16:29A glass of water.
01:16:29A glass of water.
01:16:29A glass of water.
01:16:31A glass of water.
01:16:45Good luck.
01:16:49A glass of water.
01:16:59Our temperature is slightly raised.
01:17:07But our heartbeat and our breathing are normal.
01:17:10No contractions yet.
01:17:11It doesn't seem to be working.
01:17:13It's never taken this long.
01:17:15Let's just give it a little more time.
01:17:18We could lose Annie and the baby.
01:17:21Do you have everything here that you need to do a cesarean delivery?
01:17:29What about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:38I'm going to make some tea.
01:17:40Do you like a cup?
01:17:41No, thank you.
01:17:57Any news?
01:17:58Nothing yet.
01:17:59I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:21You're doing fine, Annie.
01:18:23Just keep breathing.
01:18:23Contractions, closer together.
01:18:30We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family.
01:18:35It's all right, it's all right.
01:18:37Good job.
01:18:38Keep breathing.
01:18:39Good, good.
01:18:39Congratulations, Uncle Needle.
01:19:05She's so beautiful.
01:19:14I've delivered hundreds of babies, but I've never seen one this...
01:19:17Perfect.
01:19:20And I'm not just saying that because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:23I thought she was a boy.
01:19:26She carried like a boy.
01:19:28We learn, don't we, Doc?
01:19:30We sure do.
01:19:32Thank you both for being here.
01:19:33There's no other place we'd rather be.
01:19:35Is it okay if I come in?
01:19:46Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:19:54Can I hold her?
01:19:57Come sit.
01:19:58Come sit.
01:20:05Come sit.
01:20:07Hey, you got that, fella?
01:20:30What about your present?
01:20:32Present.
01:20:34These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:36Well, when I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:20:41Well, the way you went through 20,000 links, I figured you'd use a few more.
01:20:44Oh, you think so?
01:20:48I should probably get going.
01:20:50Okay. Will I see you later?
01:20:54Sure is this one fine day.
01:21:06Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter, I could use a little help in here.
01:21:12I'm coming.
01:21:16Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us and the love which envelops us.
01:21:22May we always strive to walk the way you like and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:28Amen.
01:21:39Hey, are you all right?
01:21:41I'm fine. Just a little stuffy inside.
01:21:44I've gotten so used to you being at the house, it's going to be too quiet when we're gone.
01:21:48Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:21:51I think it's time we go home.
01:21:53I'm going to miss you so very much.
01:21:54And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:02What are you doing out here?
01:22:04Oh, I was just getting some fresh air talking to Annie.
01:22:07You're going to miss her, aren't you?
01:22:09Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:13Let's enjoy her while we can.
01:22:14Thank you very much, Lee.
01:22:25It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:26And Belinda, I can never thank you enough.
01:22:30Well, I wish I could take all the credit, but I had some expert help.
01:22:34This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:37I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:40Me too.
01:22:40All aboard, folks.
01:22:42We're burning daylight.
01:22:44I think it's about that time.
01:22:46Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:22:48Of course.
01:22:50Come on, come on.
01:22:51Come on.
01:22:59Bye, you two.
01:23:00Bye.
01:23:01Bye.
01:23:01Bye.
01:23:01Bye.
01:23:01Bye.
01:23:01Bye.
01:23:03Bye.
01:23:03Bye.
01:23:03Bye.
01:23:03Bye.
01:23:04Bye.
01:23:04Bye.
01:23:04Bye.
01:23:05Bye.
01:23:05Bye.
01:23:06Bye.
01:23:06Bye.
01:23:06Bye.
01:23:07Bye.
01:23:08Bye.
01:23:09Bye.
01:23:10Bye.
01:23:16Bye.
01:23:17You know.
01:23:18All right.
01:23:19Take her easy there.
01:23:23Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:28How do I think you marry?
01:23:30Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:35I learned a lot from you.
01:23:37And I from you.
01:23:38I may bring him into the world, but you keep him alive and kicking once they're here.
01:23:43Now, if you ever need a good midwife, you know where to find me.
01:23:49Oh.
01:23:49I'll hold you.
01:24:03There you are.
01:24:03Oh, young man, I'm going to need a hand here.
01:24:06All right.
01:24:06All right.
01:24:07Here we go.
01:24:08All right.
01:24:09Wait a minute.
01:24:09One, two, three.
01:24:10Oh.
01:24:10Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:16Well, Commodore, are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:18I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:21Yes, ma'am.
01:24:22Hiya, get up.
01:24:23Get up.
01:24:24Get up.
01:24:40Where are you and Mary whispering to each other?
01:24:42No, I was just telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:24:49You mean?
01:24:50Are you sure?
01:24:55I'm a doctor.
01:24:57I know a pregnant woman when I see one, especially when I am one.
01:25:03Hey.
01:25:05We're going to have a baby.
01:25:07Baby?
01:25:10We're going to have a baby.
01:25:13Lillian Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:15Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:17Yes, ma'am.
01:25:18Joshua Coyle, don't just stand there and gawk.
01:25:23You've got a job to do.
01:25:25Yes, ma'am.
01:25:29I've got patients to attend to and baby plans to make.
01:25:34Now, wait up.
01:25:37Now, wait up a bit.
01:25:40How far along are you?
01:25:43Now, I'm serious.
01:25:44Well, we've got to start talking about names, really.
01:25:48I mean, I like leave for a boy.
01:25:49How do you think it's going to be a boy?
01:25:51Or, uh, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl.
01:25:53What do you think?
01:25:54Oh, that's very funny.
01:25:55Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
