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.
00:01:39It becomes a very pale label.
00:01:41You haven't noticed when you look in the mirror?
00:01:43I'm not sure I know what they're supposed to look like.
00:01:45Well, I think you have anemia, which means you don't have enough iron in your body.
00:01:48It'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.
00:02:13Is 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.
00:02:33I 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.
00:02:57Hello, Lee.
00:02:58Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:59You're eating that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:01I'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.
00:03:19I'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.
00:03:43I'm sorry your husband doesn't allow me any extra money.
00:03:47I have to use the sock money I've saved up.
00:03:49Why 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.
00:03:57You can tell her all these are with that medicine.
00:04:01I will have some.
00:04:02Very good to see you.
00:04:03Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:04:05Now you take care of yourself.
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:07All right.
00:04:08All right.
00:04:09All right, pal.
00:04:12Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:14Okay?
00:04:19I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:25Here it comes.
00:04:26I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:42Come on.
00:04:44Aunt Annie's here.
00:05:00Aunt Annie.
00:05:01Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:02Shh, shh, shh.
00:05:03No.
00:05:05She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:07Sure.
00:05:08She looks very round.
00:05:10I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:12Oh, let me get that.
00:05:13Oh, it's fine.
00:05:15Everyone treats me like a china doll.
00:05:17I'm not gonna break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:21Me too.
00:05:24I can't tell you how much I appreciate you looking after Annie while I'm away.
00:05:28I didn't want to take a surveying job this close to her having a baby, but we need the money.
00:05:33I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:35But you're mind at ease, Pete.
00:05:36We're happy to have her.
00:05:37My mother would have stayed with Annie.
00:05:40But I wanted to come visit my best friend and her family before the baby comes.
00:05:43And we're so glad you did.
00:05:45How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:47Broken bones and bee stings.
00:05:48Anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:52The town loves Mom.
00:05:53They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:54Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:59Well, how about I start cleaning and leave?
00:06:01You'll help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:09Nice out.
00:06:10It's good having Annie here.
00:06:11It is.
00:06:12She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:13I like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:15Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:16I'm right here.
00:06:17Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:18I'm just tired.
00:06:19You sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:20What's wrong?
00:06:21I'm not pregnant.
00:06:22Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:23We've tried for so long.
00:06:24We have more than we can handle it, Lillian.
00:06:25Oh, I know, but...
00:06:26think of you as my very best friend why don't you tell your very best friend where you are

00:10:12you know when i was traveling through selena last month there was a rash of copperhead snake bites
00:10:17it felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic
00:10:20i haven't had anything as exciting as a snake bite in months
00:10:24you 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
00:10:32and our patients deserve and need our compassion

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