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.
00:02:33I eat two spoonfuls twice a day.
00:02:35You can 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.
00:02:59Leaving that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:01Well, I'm just trying to wear him down for the ride home.
00:03:05You're here early, you're here late.
00:03:07Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going.
00:03:09Aren't you expecting company?
00:03:11My wife's best friend from medical school.
00:03:13Well, she should get here any day now.
00:03:14I was referring to that apprentice of yours.
00:03:16He should be here on Thursday's stage.
00:03:19I'll leave you to your work, Lee.
00:03:22Have a good day, Reverend.
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.
00:03:50Why don't we just call it a dollar even?
00:03:54That's very kind of you.
00:03:55Don't mention it, Mrs. McQueen.
00:03:59Can you tell her I'll be by with that medicine?
00:04:01I will absolutely.
00:04:02Very good to see you.
00:04:03Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:04:05How do you take care of yourself?
00:04:08All right, pal.
00:04:11Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:18I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:20That's a perfect child.
00:04:24Here it comes.
00:04:26Easy.
00:04:28Hey!
00:04:31Settle down now.
00:04:33Settle.
00:04:35Easy now.
00:04:37I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:39Come on.
00:04:45Come on.
00:04:58Aunt Annie's here!
00:05:02Aunt Annie!
00:05:04Oh, Lillian, my love!
00:05:05She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:09Sure, she looks very round.
00:05:12I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:14Oh, let me get that.
00:05:16Oh, it's fine.
00:05:18Everyone treats me like a china doll.
00:05:19I'm not going to break.
00:05:22I'm so glad you came.
00:05:24Me too.
00:05:26I can't tell you how much I appreciate you looking after Annie while I'm away.
00:05:30I didn't want to take a surveying job this close to her having a baby, but we need the money.
00:05:35I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:37But you're mind at ease, Pete.
00:05:39We're happy to have her.
00:05:40My mother would have stayed with Annie.
00:05:42But I wanted to come visit my best friend and her family before the baby comes.
00:05:46And we're so glad you did.
00:05:47How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:49Broken bones and bee stings, anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:53Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:54The town loves Mom.
00:05:55They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:57Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:59Hmm.
00:06:01Well, how about I start cleaning and Lee, you'll help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:05All right.
00:06:19Nice out.
00:06:22It's good having Annie here.
00:06:24It is.
00:06:26She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:28I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:30Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:33I'm right here.
00:06:34Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:37I'm just tired.
00:06:39You sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:42What's wrong?
00:06:44I'm not pregnant.
00:06:46Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:48We've tried for so long.
00:06:49We have more than we can handle with Lou.
00:06:52Oh, I know, but...
00:06:56It's just that when Annie found out the news, it maybe won a baby of our own even more.
00:07:04Now that she's staying with us.
00:07:07No.
00:07:11We are gonna have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:14Well, all good things come in God's time, and...
00:07:19Maybe we should just let him decide.
00:07:21What if he doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:32Hey.
00:07:34Come on.
00:07:36Let's go help Lil finish the dishes, hmm?
00:07:43I guess I'd best be leaving now.
00:07:53Peter, please be careful.
00:07:55Yes.
00:07:56My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:59I love you.
00:08:00I love you, too.
00:08:06Bye, ladies.
00:08:07Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:08Will be.
00:08:10Step up!
00:08:13Step up.
00:08:16Step up.
00:08:19Let me see the door, eh?
00:08:20Boy, are you alright?
00:08:22I don't know.
00:08:24Ha!
00:08:25Oh no!
00:08:27No!
00:08:29Oh, Jane!
00:08:34Oh, oh!
00:08:35DJ!
00:08:38Well, it's alright, isn't it?
00:08:40And the bags.
00:08:41Got it.
00:08:43Check on the team, Ike.
00:08:45Welcome home, darling.
00:08:46Home.
00:08:47Thank you for you.
00:08:49How's the trip?
00:08:50Good job, sir.
00:08:59You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:09:01Yes, sir.
00:09:02Hey, Owens.
00:09:03Welcome, Sykes.
00:09:04How's your trip?
00:09:05Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:09:07Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:09:09Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:11Yes, sir.
00:09:12Well, Saxon's a nice little town.
00:09:14I hope you like it.
00:09:15I expect so.
00:09:16Can I help you with your things?
00:09:18Don't have much.
00:09:20Alright.
00:09:21Come on, let me show you the shop.
00:09:23Sounds good.
00:09:25So, we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:28Library work and rolling stock.
00:09:31Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:34Now, when your blows are even and you can work a straight piece of metal, those will be your tools.
00:09:38It's hard work, but you managed to make something that will last a generation or two.
00:09:43You know, it gives you a sense of pride.
00:09:46I reckon that's true.
00:09:48Well, what do you say?
00:09:50You ready to get started?
00:09:51Yes, sir.
00:09:52Alright, then.
00:09:53Alright, then.
00:10:02How was your walk?
00:10:04Tearing around a 30 pound sack of flour?
00:10:07Slow day?
00:10:08Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone comes in from getting caught on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder.
00:10:14You know, when I was traveling through Selena last month, there was a rash of copperhead snake bites.
00:10:20It felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:23I haven't had anything as exciting as a snake bite in months.
00:10:27You should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve.
00:10:30It's our job as doctors to care about even the most minor illness or affliction.
00:10:35And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:39That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:40Linda, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:45You can tell me anything, you know that.
00:10:49Oh!
00:10:51What is it?
00:10:53A quick sharp pain and shortness of breath and minor faintness.
00:10:58Let's get you to an examination.
00:11:00It's not necessary.
00:11:01Is the baby moving?
00:11:03It isn't that...
00:11:05It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:07Let me finish some things up and we'll get you home.
00:11:11You know, my Pa says walking's good for man's constitution.
00:11:18You always walk?
00:11:20Well, we've never been riding.
00:11:22You walking to my camp?
00:11:24No.
00:11:26I ain't got a horse to give to Little Ant, but he's still a little green.
00:11:30Pesty.
00:11:31I've been breaking him, getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:35Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:38I know nothing of saddle horses.
00:11:40Only harness problem.
00:11:42I stick with wagons.
00:11:43You'd better for it.
00:11:45I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:49What happened today?
00:11:50Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:53And that's coming from the doctor and me.
00:11:55When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:57My mother-in-law.
00:11:58She's a midwife.
00:11:59Well, I wish I was the one delivering your baby.
00:12:02It's a doctor's job after all.
00:12:04I'm sure it's gonna be fine.
00:12:08Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:11And you must be Joshua. Welcome to our home.
00:12:20It's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Owens.
00:12:22Uh, that's Dr. Owens.
00:12:25You're a doctor?
00:12:26Yes, as is my best friend, Dr. Annie Watson.
00:12:29It's a pleasure to meet you, Joshua.
00:12:31Ma'am, it's funny. I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:36Allowed?
00:12:37No, I just...
00:12:38And just who would we need permission from?
00:12:39Go easy on him, Lil. He just got here.
00:12:41I'm sure he's aware what women can accomplish.
00:12:45Apparently not.
00:12:50That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:52We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:54You'll get used to it.
00:12:57Oh, now.
00:12:59Let's go get washed up.
00:13:02Smells like my favorite.
00:13:04Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:13:06Indeed.
00:13:09Miss Owens?
00:13:22Mr. Coyle?
00:13:24I just want you to know...
00:13:26I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:28I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:33Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:37I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:39Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:41They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:43A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:45Well, I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:48I swear.
00:13:49It's just...
00:13:50Well...
00:13:52I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:54I'm apologizing.
00:13:56I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:58Apology accepted.
00:14:03Well, I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:05Well, this isn't for school.
00:14:07So you read for fun?
00:14:08I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa let me.
00:14:12Well, all right.
00:14:14I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:15Good night, Mr Coyle.
00:14:19Good night, Mr Coyle.
00:14:35Nice young man.
00:14:37I hadn't noticed.
00:14:41Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:43Good night, Pa.
00:14:45Good night, poor daughter.
00:14:59Who is it?
00:15:00Maybe I've had to ruse inще.
00:15:02Let's see what happens.
00:15:03Can I see her vivre with big people?
00:15:05Come in.
00:15:09How are you?
00:15:13I feel fine.
00:15:15It's all in the room.
00:15:17I can't get it.
00:15:19Can I help?
00:15:21Can I help?
00:15:23Can we just sit down?
00:15:25Just sit down.
00:15:27I think the suit doesn't work.
00:15:29It's okay.
00:15:31It says it's fine.
00:15:33It's fine.
00:15:35It's in the east back.
00:15:37It says it's fine.
00:15:39It's fine.
00:15:41I know.
00:15:43Come on.
00:15:51What is it?
00:15:53I think.
00:15:55Someone's okay.
00:16:03It says some of you will...
00:16:06If you are not.
00:16:08Oh, my gosh.
00:17:11Hi.
00:17:11Maybe you want to see her.
00:17:13It's so scary.
00:17:14No.
00:17:16Did she have a seizure?
00:17:29No, she has all the other symptoms.
00:17:31Well, I'll telegraph Peter first thing in the morning.
00:17:34Tell him what's happened.
00:17:36And let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:17:39Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:40Well, I made it all.
00:17:42Wire his mother.
00:17:43You said she lives in Spartan.
00:17:50Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:53Total rest for you, Mrs. Watson, in a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:56To being lazy, you mean.
00:17:58I cannot just lay around all day.
00:18:00I'm a doctor, remember?
00:18:01But I am your doctor and this is my home.
00:18:04And if it is enclampsia, you know bed rest is called for.
00:18:07Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:08Perhaps.
00:18:09But if not, I won't be sorry later.
00:18:13I love you.
00:18:15I love you too.
00:18:16Prepare for my peach.
00:18:27Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with Aunt Annie?
00:18:30No, you just run along to school.
00:18:32I'll post a note on the clinic and if someone really needs me, they know where to find me.
00:18:36Morning, ladies.
00:18:37Morning.
00:18:39Bye, ma.
00:18:40Have a good day, darling.
00:18:41Bye, ma.
00:18:41Bye.
00:18:42That girl kicks up a pile of dust everywhere she goes.
00:18:48Here you go.
00:18:51Is this your way of telling me not to come home for supper?
00:18:54The other one is for Joshua.
00:18:55A young man just starting off looked like he could use a few more good meals.
00:18:59Do you have any idea how much I love you?
00:19:01Well, it never hurts to hear.
00:19:05I love you too, Lee Owens.
00:19:09Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:19:11All right.
00:19:13Have a good day, sweet darling.
00:19:26Belinda feels Annie's health as well as the baby's is better served staying here until after the delivery.
00:19:32I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:34Lee Owens.
00:19:35Well, that's what he said.
00:19:46Doc Olin.
00:19:47It's McQueen.
00:19:48Sorry, I wrote a close today, but if you'd like to make an appointment.
00:19:51Were you the one that gave Mabel this tonic?
00:19:53Yes, it's iron for her anemia.
00:19:55Why you got to go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:58What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:20:00Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:20:02Give her that medicine.
00:20:04I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:06A doctor killed my sister with tonic.
00:20:09I don't know the details of your sister's death, but there's no magic to it.
00:20:13Your wife had a baby a month ago, and she has a very serious medical condition.
00:20:17Maybe if you weren't so hard-headed, you would realize that.
00:20:20Now, my advice...
00:20:21I don't need your mouth nor your advice, and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:25Doctors aren't worth them.
00:20:26Who's in the house?
00:20:27Hey!
00:20:31Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:33Yes, I'm just frustrated.
00:20:35I'm a very stubborn and hard-headed man.
00:20:37Lloyd McQueen is truly set in his ways, but he's still a child of our maker.
00:20:42He has no compassion for his wife's condition.
00:20:44Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times and lose sight of the compassion we should have for others?
00:20:50There I go, preaching again.
00:20:53Oh, it's all right.
00:20:54I suppose I needed to hear it.
00:20:56I'll see you in church, Belinda.
00:20:58Good day.
00:21:10That's his steady blows.
00:21:13All right.
00:21:13Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:21Must run in the family.
00:21:24I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence, but she was adopted.
00:21:29Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:30Really?
00:21:31Hmm.
00:21:32I never would have known.
00:21:34I mean, she and Mrs....
00:21:35I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:38Is that a fact?
00:21:39Well, yeah, I mean, it's just Lillian's very pretty.
00:21:44Yeah, I know she's pretty.
00:21:58I'm truthfully not that hungry.
00:22:01Doctor's orders.
00:22:01Even if you don't feel up to it, you need to finish the entire bowl.
00:22:06I'm not a child, Belinda.
00:22:08And I'm a doctor.
00:22:08I think I know what's best for me.
00:22:10Knowing and doing are two entirely different things.
00:22:14Is that another contraction?
00:22:17No, the baby's just kicking.
00:22:19And I have to tell you, I'm a little relieved.
00:22:21I haven't felt him move since the contractions yesterday.
00:22:23You just said it was...
00:22:24He?
00:22:26He?
00:22:26How do you know it's a boy?
00:22:28I know it sounds silly, but...
00:22:30Mary thinks because I'm caring so low that it'll be a boy.
00:22:33It is silly.
00:22:34That's an old wife's tale.
00:22:36There's no medical merit to it.
00:22:37Say what you want, but when Peter's sister was pregnant...
00:22:40Mary was concerned because she was caring so far out in front.
00:22:43She said it would be a breached birth, and...
00:22:45She was right.
00:22:46One lucky guess, and she's got you believing made-up stories.
00:22:50Goodness, he's getting his exercise today.
00:22:53You want a feel?
00:22:53That's all right.
00:22:55Come on, Belinda.
00:22:57Don't be nervous.
00:23:01It's so strange.
00:23:03I never thought I'd be a mother.
00:23:06It suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world.
00:23:12I'm sorry.
00:23:14I've opened that wound, haven't I?
00:23:17Maybe we shouldn't talk about it.
00:23:19You know, I know so many women that have gotten pregnant without even trying.
00:23:22And Lee and I have been trying.
00:23:24We've both seen it take some time.
00:23:27You just can't get impatient with yourself.
00:23:30I look after this one woman, Mabel McQueen.
00:23:33She's had six babies in the past eight years without even trying.
00:23:37It's important to you, isn't it?
00:23:38You're gonna risk to make something in the past eight, You know, my baby.
00:23:43It's okay, buddy.
00:23:44We must get supper ready.
00:23:45Biy and Lillian will be home soon.
00:23:48I'm here to talk whenever you'd like to.
00:23:51Please eat your soup, Annie.
00:23:53I was wondering where you'd run off to.
00:24:15I just looked in on Annie.
00:24:16She's out for the night.
00:24:18She keeps insisting she feels fine.
00:24:23I think I've heard that before.
00:24:27You two are so much alike, it's frightening.
00:24:30I suppose that's why we're such good friends.
00:24:34I noticed you didn't have Joshua over for supper tonight.
00:24:37I'm pretty sure he's sweet on Mel.
00:24:41I don't want the two of them spending too much time together.
00:24:44Why not? He's only a couple years older.
00:24:46Doc, he's an apprentice blacksmith. I want better for Lillian.
00:24:49I'm the wife of a blacksmith, and you don't hear me complaining.
00:24:53I spent the last five years trying to figure out how I tricked you into marrying me.
00:24:57You could have done much better.
00:24:58You didn't trick me into anything.
00:25:01I married you because I fell in love with you, Leonis.
00:25:04And if Lillian and Joshua had taken interest in one another, I don't think it's our place to stand in their way.
00:25:10Besides, telling Lillian she can't have something is like daring to try to stop her.
00:25:15I get your point.
00:25:21I don't want to get in the way of her happiness.
00:25:23Still, you left a small town to follow your dream.
00:25:28And if Lill wants to go to college, I darn sure want to see it happen.
00:25:32I don't want her tied down to Saxon.
00:25:34I hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has.
00:25:42It's getting a little chilly.
00:25:45Want to turn in for the night?
00:25:46You go ahead.
00:25:47I'll be up in a little while.
00:25:48Don't be in such a hurry, pretty lady.
00:26:11Please allow me to pass.
00:26:13We need to get to know each other.
00:26:15I think not.
00:26:19I don't want to be late for school.
00:26:20I can teach you more than any school can.
00:26:23Excuse me.
00:26:25You mind letting the young lady pass?
00:26:27This ain't none of your affairs, sod buster.
00:26:29Ah, but it is.
00:26:30It ain't.
00:26:37Knock your head off, boy.
00:26:38Now you hold on a second.
00:26:40Now the good book tells me to turn the other cheek.
00:26:42Now I only have two.
00:26:44So after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:45That was the second cheek.
00:26:53You're breaking my wrist.
00:26:54Well, I understand.
00:26:55There's a fine doctor in town.
00:26:56Please don't.
00:26:58Please don't break.
00:26:59I trust I'll never see you around Miss Owens again.
00:27:01No, never.
00:27:02Good.
00:27:03Now get.
00:27:04Good morning, Miss Owens.
00:27:16You on your way to school?
00:27:18Indeed I am.
00:27:20May I walk with you?
00:27:21I did the best I could, Jim.
00:27:31But you better go easy on it, all right?
00:27:33Your boss strikes me as a hard-working man.
00:27:48He lives and breathes work.
00:27:50Ma says sometimes he rolls over to sleep and tries to use their arms like a set of tongs.
00:27:53I guess that's the future I have to look forward to.
00:27:56Not such a bad life, really.
00:28:02So what about you?
00:28:03You're going to become a doctor like your ma?
00:28:06I don't know.
00:28:07I haven't decided.
00:28:09Maybe I want to be a lawyer or a famous writer like Harriet Beecher Stowe.
00:28:13One thing for sure, I want to go to college.
00:28:15Well, I better get to work.
00:28:17Have a nice day, Joshua.
00:28:20You too, Lily.
00:28:25Yeah, I heard her.
00:28:32I don't think you should be climbing the stairs.
00:28:34But I feel fine.
00:28:36What's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day.
00:28:39But it's only been three days since you had pain and felt faint.
00:28:42You know the symptoms and treatment as well as I do.
00:28:45That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:51Is that singing?
00:28:53I would know that voice anywhere.
00:28:55That's Mary.
00:28:56Your mother-in-law?
00:28:57What reason does she have to be here?
00:28:59Mary doesn't need a reason to do anything.
00:29:01Well, this must be it.
00:29:17Oh, gee.
00:29:18Thank you, my good man.
00:29:20And you have a blessed day.
00:29:24And you must be the infamous Doc Owen.
00:29:29Mary Watson.
00:29:31Oh, do you know that already?
00:29:33Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:36Would you be a dear and bring my thing along?
00:29:39Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:47Where else would you expect me to be, oh, my little lamb?
00:29:51But didn't you get the telegraph from Belinda's husband?
00:29:53I did.
00:29:54That's why I'm here.
00:29:55I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend.
00:29:58But I certainly wasn't going to miss the birth of my first grandson.
00:30:03I've missed you.
00:30:05Oh, it's darker than the inside of a cow in here.
00:30:07Yes, it is.
00:30:08Oh, please don't do that.
00:30:10What?
00:30:10She's not a mushroom.
00:30:12She needs light.
00:30:14All right, Doc.
00:30:14Let's sit up so I can get a good look.
00:30:17I'm sorry, what are you doing?
00:30:18I'm getting her upright.
00:30:20If she stays in this bed too long, she'll get a crick in her back and it'll make delivery much more painful.
00:30:25I think it's better that she's on bed rest for the remainder of her term.
00:30:29It's not going to hurt her to sit up.
00:30:31When you've delivered as many babies as I have, you learn a few things.
00:30:35Well, I've been to medical school for years and rest is the proper treatment.
00:30:39You don't learn everything in medical school.
00:30:43That is a matter of opinion and I wholeheartedly disagree.
00:30:46Ladies, I'm not a sack of flour.
00:30:55There I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw.
00:31:01I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night.
00:31:06I expected twins, not triplets.
00:31:10In a blizzard?
00:31:11Oh, the little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:31:16Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:18Women giving births are always an emergency.
00:31:23That's the penalty we pay for Eve eating the apple.
00:31:28It is not a penalty.
00:31:30Wow, Mrs. Watson, you sure got an exciting life.
00:31:32Well, I should probably get you up to your room, Annie.
00:31:35You let that little fella start running your life now, you'll be lacing his shoes when he's 30.
00:31:41Yes, Annie told me you believe it's a boy.
00:31:43Believe? Nothing.
00:31:45It's a fact.
00:31:47Honestly, Mary, you can't possibly...
00:31:48Actually, I am a little tired.
00:31:50I'm gonna go to bed.
00:31:53I can manage on my own.
00:31:55Good night, all.
00:31:57Good night, Annie.
00:31:57Rest well, dear.
00:31:59Good night, Annie.
00:32:00Good night, Annie.
00:32:01Good night, Annie.
00:32:05There is no way to tell whether...
00:32:07Well, I think it's time we all settle down, huh?
00:32:09We'll have a full day tomorrow.
00:32:17Thank you for dinner, Dr. Holmes.
00:32:20Joshua, William told us that you came to her rescue.
00:32:24Our mother and I both appreciate it.
00:32:26It was my pleasure, sir.
00:32:28Thank you again.
00:32:31I'll walk you out.
00:32:37Aren't they the most adorable couple?
00:32:47So tell me, how was Captain Nemo this evening?
00:32:52When I left him, he was exploring the ruins of Atlantis,
00:32:54although I can't say for sure what he does when I'm not looking.
00:32:57I never met a girl who made a book sound so interesting.
00:33:00You can borrow it if you like.
00:33:02Oh, no, I'm not sure if I'm sold on Nemo just yet.
00:33:04Maybe you could read some of it to me, though.
00:33:07Just so I can find out if it's my kind of story.
00:33:10I could do that.
00:33:12Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:33:14Maybe on Saturday?
00:33:15We can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:33:19I think I know just the place.
00:33:22Lee Owens, you are not spying on our only daughter.
00:33:24I'm not spying on her.
00:33:25I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:33Good night.
00:33:34Let's see what you got there.
00:33:57Well, you're really improving.
00:34:01Thank you, sir.
00:34:02Try my best to impress you.
00:34:03As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:34:09Well, to be honest,
00:34:11I wanted to ask you,
00:34:13maybe, uh,
00:34:16Lily and I...
00:34:17You want permission to court Lily, right?
00:34:21Yes, sir.
00:34:23Well, I don't want her distracted from her goals.
00:34:25I promise I'll be respectful of her and not get in the way of her schooling.
00:34:28I know how much she wants to go to college.
00:34:31Well, I don't think about it, all right?
00:34:36I understand.
00:34:36In the meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:41No one wants his order by noon.
00:34:43Yes, sir.
00:34:44You're going to be late opening your clinic.
00:34:46I don't feel comfortable leaving Annie here all alone and I certainly don't feel comfortable with her being out of bed this much.
00:34:53You know, I wish the two of you wouldn't talk about me as if I wasn't sitting right here.
00:34:56Sorry, sweetheart.
00:35:00You must be so frustrated, pooped up inside all the time.
00:35:05I will be here with her all day.
00:35:09You tend to your patience and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:15If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:20Have a nice day.
00:35:21Praise the Lord, we're free.
00:35:28Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:31We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:36Coming to town.
00:35:46Doc Olenst, can I talk to you?
00:35:49Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:51I only have a minute.
00:35:55I left Lloyd at the general store, said I was running to the butcher.
00:35:58What can I do for you, Mabel?
00:35:59Doc, I feel terrible.
00:36:01This sickness, it's just getting worse.
00:36:03I'm dizzy all the time and I can barely pick up the youngins.
00:36:05That's because your anemia is getting worse.
00:36:07Your body needs iron.
00:36:08You're only going to get sicker.
00:36:10What can I do to make it better?
00:36:11I already told you.
00:36:13Vegetables are the tonic.
00:36:14If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:17I tried to take the tonic.
00:36:18Really, I did.
00:36:19It even started to feel a little stronger.
00:36:22And then Lloyd found it and you know the rest.
00:36:25I certainly do.
00:36:26He threw a bottle at me.
00:36:27I'm sorry for that.
00:36:28Really, I am.
00:36:29He was just upset.
00:36:30He didn't mean anything by it.
00:36:32He's a wonderful husband and a father.
00:36:34Maybe.
00:36:35But I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
00:36:37You're friend Melinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:36:44Your friend Belinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:37:07I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me, but everybody likes me.
00:37:12She isn't happy.
00:37:14She's been trying to have a baby, and Belinda just feels discouraged.
00:37:20Me showing up in my condition and staying till the baby comes, I think it's just another
00:37:25painful reminder.
00:37:26Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:37:29If it's baby trouble she's got, I've surely got the cure.
00:37:34How about a sugary treat?
00:37:40Sorry, Lloyd, it isn't here yet.
00:37:42It's been over a week.
00:37:44You said it'd be here by now.
00:37:45The freight line lost the shipping order.
00:37:48There's nothing I can do about it.
00:37:49There's something I could do if there was another general store within ten miles of here.
00:37:54It'll be here within a week.
00:37:56I'm here, Lloyd.
00:37:56What took you so long?
00:38:01I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:38:02There was a little bit of a line.
00:38:03There's always an excuse.
00:38:05Let's get out of here.
00:38:06I got fences to men before sundown.
00:38:07She's just feeling poorly or late.
00:38:21She's got a newborn and five youngins.
00:38:23Says it wears her out.
00:38:25You think a mother doesn't work?
00:38:26I've seen this a bunch during and after pregnancy.
00:38:33This is a severe case of anemia.
00:38:35She don't need Colin, lady.
00:38:36I know how to take care of my wife.
00:38:38No, you don't.
00:38:40You are selfish and rude and contemptuous and you can't see the forest for the trees.
00:38:48Doc Owens is trying to save your wife's life.
00:38:52She's dying.
00:38:55You get her over to the clinic and you beg Doc Owens for more of that tonic.
00:39:00Don't talk to me like that.
00:39:02I'll talk to you anyway I want.
00:39:05Get her to the clinic.
00:39:10You better pray to the merciful and good Lord that she doesn't slam the door in your
00:39:18ungrateful face.
00:39:20Amen.
00:39:21Amen.
00:39:28Your home's dead now.
00:39:30I want to.
00:39:34Gave you a double dose so do not take any more today.
00:39:37No, ma'am.
00:39:38Starting tomorrow morning, take two teaspoons every morning.
00:39:41And if you don't get your strength back in four days, get back in here.
00:39:49I'd like to apologize.
00:39:51The last time we spoke, I lost my temper.
00:39:55What'll owe you for the tonic?
00:39:56Only that you allow her to keep taking it.
00:39:58You don't need no charity.
00:40:00The first one was already paid for.
00:40:01This is just a replacement.
00:40:04Step up!
00:40:05Step up!
00:40:08Yes, dear.
00:40:23I'm sorry.
00:40:24You're sleeping?
00:40:25Well, not anymore.
00:40:28My apprentice wants to court Lillian.
00:40:30His name is Joshua.
00:40:35I told him I'd think about it.
00:40:38Well, then think.
00:40:41Don't think too long.
00:40:42Lillian's grown up.
00:40:44I'm having a hard time with it.
00:40:46You're having a hard time letting her grow up.
00:40:49Just try to protect her.
00:40:50I don't think she needs protection from Joshua.
00:40:54He's a very nice young man.
00:40:56That's all you have to say about her?
00:40:59Good night, sweetheart.
00:41:06All right.
00:41:08Tomorrow, I'll give Joshua my permission to court Lillian.
00:41:11I think I don't know about your little excursion with Annie.
00:41:27This town is filled with gossips.
00:41:29Can't keep a secret for more than five minutes.
00:41:31It's a pretty little town, Sykeston.
00:41:34I can see why you like it here.
00:41:35May I ask why you feel the need to go against every instruction I have for Annie?
00:41:41I don't deliberately go against your word.
00:41:45We just disagree about how to treat her.
00:41:48This isn't a competition, Mary.
00:41:49If a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia,
00:41:53I wouldn't dream of telling you how to treat them.
00:41:56That's your business.
00:41:58Babies are my business.
00:42:00Have been for 30 years.
00:42:02It's just there's been so many new advancements.
00:42:04Sometimes the old ways are best.
00:42:08Annie may have a serious condition which could be fatal to both her and the baby.
00:42:11Are you sure?
00:42:12Of course I'm not sure, but I'm not taking any chances.
00:42:15So it's true what they say that doctors only practice medicine.
00:42:22This conversation obviously isn't getting the same.
00:42:27So Annie tells me you're barren.
00:42:29Or, uh, or having trouble anyway.
00:42:32I don't think that's any of your concern.
00:42:34I see this problem a lot.
00:42:37If you want, I could give you some remedies that are guaranteed to work.
00:42:39I know how it's done, Mary.
00:42:41I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
00:42:44So what do you think is the problem?
00:42:46You're too high strung.
00:42:48Folks worry too much about work, family, or whether or not they can have a baby.
00:42:53Then years go by and nothing happens.
00:42:57Then one day they decide to stop trying and before you know it, they find they're with child.
00:43:04So your sage advice for me is to relax.
00:43:08Read a book before you go to bed.
00:43:10Take some deep breath.
00:43:14And before you know it, I'll be back to deliver your little one.
00:43:17I'll make sure I try that.
00:43:19Every baby boy needs his own blanket.
00:43:41Don't you agree?
00:43:42Yes, I do.
00:43:50I'm going to head to the shop for a few hours.
00:43:52I'll be back in time for supper.
00:43:54Don't you ever take time off?
00:43:56Oh, the good book says that a man who doesn't work doesn't deserve to eat.
00:43:59I ain't got a lot of work to do.
00:44:01We just thought you'd have more time off once you hired an apprentice.
00:44:04And I do.
00:44:04Now I'm only two weeks behind instead of six.
00:44:10Jillian, you look lovely.
00:44:11Where are you headed off to?
00:44:12Joshua and I are having a picnic.
00:44:14You enjoy yourself and please tell Joshua that we said hello.
00:44:18I will.
00:44:19You'll be back in time for supper now.
00:44:20No exceptions.
00:44:21I will.
00:44:22I promise.
00:44:24Bye, everyone.
00:44:25Bye, dear.
00:44:26Bye.
00:44:26Bye.
00:44:26Bye.
00:44:26Bye.
00:44:31I love it.
00:44:41The sea is everything.
00:44:42It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe.
00:44:45Its breath is pure and healthy.
00:44:47It is an immense desert where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.
00:44:52This sea is the only embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence.
00:44:56It is nothing but love and emotion.
00:44:58This is the living infinite, as one of your poets has said.
00:45:01I've been reading for almost two hours.
00:45:05You must be bored.
00:45:06No, I don't think I can ever get bored listening to you talk.
00:45:09You're just saying that.
00:45:10No, I'm not.
00:45:12I swear.
00:45:13It's just, I'd like this Captain Nemo if he weren't holding his friends hostage all the time.
00:45:17Well, I can't let them go and they might tell the world who he is.
00:45:2020,000 Leagues is an allegory.
00:45:22It's about personal freedom.
00:45:24Nemo means nobody in Latin.
00:45:25He's invisible to the world and wants to keep it that way.
00:45:28You're brilliant.
00:45:29You know that?
00:45:30I am not.
00:45:39Lee?
00:45:39You working today?
00:45:43You work harder than any man I know.
00:45:46Well, I can't let the customers down.
00:45:48Besides, it gives me thinking time.
00:45:50Anything that you'd like to share with your pastor?
00:45:52This is a lot of rumbling around in my head like a marvel.
00:45:57Sometimes it helps to speak it out loud.
00:45:59Talking to yourself only gets the answer you're looking for.
00:46:03I just can't figure Lillian out.
00:46:06I'm trying to be a good father to her.
00:46:08Our children grow up, start spreading their wings.
00:46:12A father has to be aware of that and try to grow with his child.
00:46:17Yeah, Belinda tolerates more than I do.
00:46:20She's a mother.
00:46:22The good Lord gave them the patience of Job when it comes to raising their children.
00:46:26He shortchanged fathers in that area.
00:46:29Yeah.
00:46:29I really wish you would get some rest.
00:46:39I feel fine.
00:46:41Looks like someone may have been wrong about my condition.
00:46:44Perhaps.
00:46:45So, if things improve with Lee, he says he isn't bothered, but I still sense that he's disappointed
00:46:54we can't have a baby.
00:46:55Well, maybe you're just being overly sensitive and you think that he's disappointed.
00:46:59Maybe.
00:47:01You know, I'm starting to think that maybe she regrets marrying me.
00:47:04Now, Lee, that is just plain nonsense.
00:47:08She's proud as a peacock that she married you.
00:47:10Maybe.
00:47:12Have you spoken to her about it?
00:47:13Yeah, in a roundabout way.
00:47:16Of course, she says I'm wrong.
00:47:18Still, she seems kind of distant lately.
00:47:21She's got something on her mind.
00:47:23Most women do when they get like that.
00:47:26You know, we're, uh, trying to have a baby.
00:47:31So far, no luck.
00:47:33You have to have faith.
00:47:36Sometimes it's hard, Reverend.
00:47:38Talk to her about your feelings.
00:47:40I'd best be getting home.
00:47:44This is Dave, so give me an earful if I'm late for supper.
00:47:47And myself included.
00:47:55Well, I see.
00:47:57You didn't need my help putting supper on the table.
00:48:00You're taking a nap, man.
00:48:02We just wanted you to be able to rest.
00:48:03I'll rest enough when I'm dead.
00:48:06Give me that knife before you cut yourself.
00:48:15So, do you miss your family?
00:48:17I do.
00:48:19My pa's a farmer back in Pennsylvania.
00:48:21He wanted more from me than to spend my entire life plowing fields.
00:48:24So, he said if I got good enough, maybe I can find some work in Philadelphia.
00:48:28Sounds like he cares about you a lot.
00:48:31Yeah, my family's pretty close.
00:48:34It's kind of strange, though.
00:48:36You know, being out here all by myself.
00:48:38I have three sisters and two brothers and not a moment of peace.
00:48:41Back at the boarding house, I got nothing but quiet.
00:48:44I know what you mean.
00:48:45I mostly grew up in an orphanage until Ma and Pa adopted me when I was ten.
00:48:49I'd spent so long in a room with other kids, I couldn't wait to have a room of my own.
00:48:53And now I miss having someone to talk to.
00:48:57Yeah, me.
00:49:00Do, don't I?
00:49:03So, tell me something.
00:49:05How'd you ever find a place like this, anyway?
00:49:08I stumbled across it by accident while riding one day.
00:49:11But it's so far off the main roads, no one really comes out here.
00:49:14So, I brought some of my old stuff and now it's where I come to be alone.
00:49:19I can see why.
00:49:21Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape.
00:49:25This reminds me of it.
00:49:28Well, the timber still seems...
00:49:29I wouldn't do that.
00:49:31Whoa!
00:49:34Not as sound as you might think.
00:49:36You're probably right.
00:49:39I think it's best we pack up.
00:49:45Well, I'm happy to see you and Mary are getting along.
00:49:47You know, her fertility advice to me was to relax and read a book before bed.
00:49:55Did you try it?
00:49:56Of course not.
00:49:57She's been doing this longer than we've been alive.
00:50:00I can't believe you, Annie Watson.
00:50:02You've spent three years in medical school, five years practicing medicine, and you're gonna believe that woman's folk magic?
00:50:07It's rubbish, plain and simple.
00:50:10We ask people to believe in things they don't understand, and they do.
00:50:14Because they have trust and faith in us.
00:50:16Just like they have faith in the Lord.
00:50:18Okay.
00:50:18It is not the same thing, and we're talking about Mary here.
00:50:21Why do you have such a hard time believing in Mary's ways?
00:50:23Okay.
00:50:24Mary is a lovely woman.
00:50:27But you have to admit, she's a little touch on the head.
00:50:30She doesn't like me any more than I like her.
00:50:32Really?
00:50:33The other day at the general store, Mary defended you to the ends of the earth.
00:50:37What are you talking about?
00:50:39The man with the anemic wife?
00:50:40The one that you said was such a success story?
00:50:43Mary is the reason that he brought her back to you.
00:50:46That's why Lloyd McQueen brought his wife back to me?
00:50:48Mary unloaded on him like a tornado.
00:50:51Spoke up for you, and just plain made him cower.
00:50:56I'm over.
00:50:58Go.
00:51:02Do you have any idea what time it is?
00:51:08Hi, Pa.
00:51:09You were supposed to be home for supper.
00:51:12Joshua and I weren't that hungry, so we decided to stay out a little while longer.
00:51:15Well, it's well past supper.
00:51:16That's more than a little while.
00:51:17Why are you so angry?
00:51:19I thought I could trust your judgment, but apparently I was wrong.
00:51:22What's that supposed to mean?
00:51:23It means you can't spend any more time with Joshua Coyle until I say so.
00:51:26You'll go to school, help your mother at the clinic, and come straight home.
00:51:29For how long?
00:51:30As long as it takes me to trust you again.
00:51:32Oh, that's completely unfair.
00:51:34Joshua's only two years older than I am, and no one tells him what to do.
00:51:37No one said the world was fair, young lady.
00:51:40Lil.
00:51:44Lil's worried about you.
00:51:45Hello, Joshua.
00:51:58Good afternoon, man.
00:52:10Uh, Mr. Owens told me how much trouble I caused the other night.
00:52:17I just wanted to come by and say how sorry I am for keeping Lillian out so late.
00:52:21You needn't place the blame all on yourself.
00:52:23She's old enough to know better.
00:52:25No, I'm still sorry.
00:52:25Ma, I can't find the bandages.
00:52:33Pa said I can't see you for a while.
00:52:35Pa said you couldn't go out with Joshua.
00:52:38He said nothing about the two of you seeing each other.
00:52:41Thanks, Ma.
00:52:45Well, I have work to do.
00:52:47It was nice to see you, Joshua.
00:52:49There's always room open at the dinner table for you.
00:52:52Thank you, ma'am.
00:52:59I'm sorry to get you into trouble.
00:53:00You didn't do anything wrong, and neither did I.
00:53:03I'm a grown woman, and I don't need my pa deciding how late I can and can't stay out.
00:53:07He's just worried about you is all.
00:53:09Well, he doesn't need to be.
00:53:10There's no need to be cross, Lillian.
00:53:12I mean, I'll still be here when you get off punishment.
00:53:14I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:15I wanted to return this.
00:53:18Finished it.
00:53:19Already?
00:53:20I just gave it to you.
00:53:22Once I got started, it was hard to quit.
00:53:25I mean, the sun was already up when I finally closed the book.
00:53:27So you stayed up all night just to read about Captain Nemo?
00:53:29No.
00:53:30I don't think I would have gotten much sleep with or without him.
00:53:36I'll be thinking about you.
00:53:38Me too.
00:53:45Mary?
00:53:59Mary?
00:54:00In here, dear.
00:54:01Annie, should you be up?
00:54:09Where are you going?
00:54:11I've decided to head on home.
00:54:14I can see you're in good hands.
00:54:16You're leaving?
00:54:18Before the baby comes?
00:54:20Oh, you'll do fine.
00:54:23And besides, the last thing you need is an old granny midwife coming up the works.
00:54:29This doesn't have anything to do with the disagreement between you and Belinda, does it?
00:54:34Oh, no, no, no.
00:54:37Truth is, I'm feeling homesick.
00:54:41I miss sleeping in my own bed.
00:54:44And my patients back home don't have a smart lady doctor to take care of them.
00:54:50If you've made your decision, I can't stop you.
00:54:53I'd really love for you to stay, though.
00:54:55I want my family here when the baby comes.
00:54:58Belinda is your family, sweetheart.
00:55:01And Peter will be back with you next week.
00:55:04Besides, all of you will be home before long, and somebody's got to get the house ready.
00:55:13I'm going to go home to check on Annie.
00:55:15I shouldn't be long.
00:55:16If there's an emergency, just send them my way or I'm running, which you're very good at.
00:55:21I will, Ma.
00:55:21And thank you.
00:55:22For what?
00:55:23I've got a new standing about me and Joshua.
00:55:25Believe it or not, I was your age once.
00:55:40I'm not going to keep her from church social.
00:55:43You may not be able to go with her, but you'll see her there.
00:55:47In the meantime, we have an order to finish.
00:55:49All right, I like your attitude.
00:56:01You're leaving.
00:56:03Time for me to go home.
00:56:04Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:56:06I'm going to see her off into town.
00:56:07Annie, I just don't think it's a good idea for you to be carrying luggage and walking into town.
00:56:11It was my idea, Belinda.
00:56:12And I've been all over this whole territory through my entire pregnancy.
00:56:16I think I can handle a short walk into town.
00:56:19Doc Owens!
00:56:23Danny.
00:56:26Lillian told me he was here.
00:56:27Ma's in labor.
00:56:28Okay, there's a horse and buggy in the barn.
00:56:30Help me hook it up.
00:56:31Yes, ma'am.
00:56:31I trust you weren't walking into town while I'm away.
00:56:38All right, peach pie.
00:56:40You get back in the house and stay put.
00:56:43Belinda and I have a baby to deliver.
00:56:45Mrs. Travis is my patient.
00:56:48If you find you don't need me, you have my permission to just shove me out of the way.
00:56:53But if you do, I'm there.
00:56:55Fine, but only because I don't have time to argue with you.
00:57:10Thank you, young man.
00:57:17It's never taken this long.
00:57:18The first few hours seemed normal, but then it just stopped.
00:57:21What stopped?
00:57:21The contractions?
00:57:22No, Doc, the baby.
00:57:23It's like it's stuck, but I can't see the head.
00:57:25I'll see you tomorrow.
00:57:26Your mama's going to be fine.
00:57:31It's a fetal dystocia.
00:57:33A what?
00:57:34The baby's shoulder is stuck.
00:57:35What are you fixing to do with that?
00:57:37We have to get the baby out before it suffocates.
00:57:39We start pulling.
00:57:41We could make things worse.
00:57:42What should we do?
00:57:44Well, if you can't get the baby out from the inside, you'd try it from the outside.
00:57:51All right, help me with her now.
00:57:53That's good.
00:57:54What are we doing?
00:57:55We're going to flatten out her hip bones.
00:58:00Travis, stay down for me.
00:58:01There.
00:58:02Now, we're going to see if you're stuck and who's not.
00:58:06There.
00:58:06It's going to be all right.
00:58:13It's going to be all right.
00:58:33Pa?
00:58:34Pa?
00:58:34Pa?
00:58:35Pa?
00:58:36Pa?
00:58:37Pa?
00:58:38Pa?
00:58:39Hello, Joshua.
00:58:40Where's my pa?
00:58:41He's on delivery.
00:58:42Then headed home.
00:58:43I'd sure like to go to the ice cream social.
00:58:47I'd sure like to ask you to go with me.
00:58:48So?
00:58:49Your pa said I could see you there.
00:58:49But I can't escort you.
00:58:50Sorry.
00:58:51I'm sorry.
00:58:52I'm sorry.
00:58:53I'm sorry.
00:58:54I'm sorry.
00:58:55I'm sorry.
00:58:56I'm sorry.
00:58:57I'm sorry.
00:58:58Joshua.
00:58:59Pa is being so unreasonable.
00:59:02We were late coming home.
00:59:03Okay?
00:59:04Don't tell me you're on his side.
00:59:05What's the difference?
00:59:06Pa?
00:59:07Pa?
00:59:08Pa?
00:59:09I'm sorry.
00:59:10Pa?
00:59:11I'm sorry.
00:59:12Yeah.
00:59:13Yeah.
00:59:15I'm sorry.
00:59:16I'm sorry.
00:59:17I'm sorry.
00:59:21Joshua.
00:59:24Pa is being so unreasonable.
00:59:26We were late coming home.
00:59:28Okay?
00:59:29Don't tell me you're on his side.
00:59:31What's the difference in an hour or so?
00:59:33We got home just fine.
00:59:34He just doesn't trust me.
00:59:36Your pa had no way of knowing whether you were all right
00:59:38when you didn't make it home on time.
00:59:39You sound just like pa.
00:59:41Ma's the only one who understands.
00:59:43Lillian, wait a second.
00:59:56Get out! Get out!
00:59:58Get out!
01:00:01It's a beautiful baby boy, and your wife is fine.
01:00:17Can I see them?
01:00:18Shortly.
01:00:22Well, looks like we got ourselves a baby brother.
01:00:26Isn't he beautiful?
01:00:32He sure is.
01:00:36He better be.
01:00:38Leave it to a boy to jam up the works.
01:00:41Uh, that's not doctor's work.
01:00:55It doesn't matter who does it, just as long as it gets done.
01:01:02I learned something today that they didn't teach me medical school.
01:01:05I learned something so bad.
01:01:10I think we were able to alter a lot.
01:01:16Ah-er-er.
01:01:17Go.
01:01:27What is it?
01:01:27I don't think of the children.
01:01:28You know what?
01:01:28What is it, baby?
01:01:29Yeah, man?
01:01:29I know what she is.
01:01:30I think of it.
01:01:31What do we know?
01:01:31I mean, I think of a man.
01:01:32All right, whoa.
01:01:50Whoa.
01:01:50Whoa.
01:01:58Whoa.
01:02:02Have you seen Lillian?
01:02:04No, why?
01:02:04Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:02:06She's been missing all afternoon.
01:02:08We got in an argument at the shop over Mr. Owens, and she stormed off.
01:02:11Said you were the only one who understands her.
01:02:13We were hoping she'd run up to find you.
01:02:15She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:02:18It's about to get dark outside.
01:02:19She gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:22I think I know where she is.
01:02:31Come on.
01:02:32It's worse this time.
01:02:44I feel like I could faint.
01:02:45Okay, okay.
01:02:46Let's get her inside.
01:02:47It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:50Let's get her in.
01:03:10Let's get her in.
01:03:12Let's get her out.
01:03:15How much further?
01:03:26It's just up ahead.
01:03:35How are you feeling?
01:03:37I'm really not as light as it is before.
01:03:40I like to just go to bed.
01:03:42Let's get you upstairs to a darkened room.
01:03:44Doctor's order.
01:03:45Doctor's order.
01:04:15Doctor.
01:04:16Doctor.
01:04:17Doctor.
01:04:18Doctor.
01:04:19Doctor.
01:04:20Is it like this before?
01:04:21No, sir.
01:04:22Looks like there is a cave in.
01:04:23She might be hurt.
01:04:24This is one of her lamps.
01:04:25Come on.
01:04:26Let's go.
01:04:27Lil!
01:04:28Lil!
01:04:29Lil!
01:04:30Lil!
01:04:31Lil!
01:04:32Lil!
01:04:33Lil!
01:04:34It's right up there.
01:04:35It's here.
01:04:36It's here.
01:04:37Lil!
01:04:38Lil!
01:04:39Lil!
01:04:40Lil!
01:04:41Lil!
01:04:42Give me a hand with this.
01:04:43One, two, three!
01:04:44You got it!
01:04:45You got it!
01:04:46Lil!
01:04:47Lil!
01:04:48Lil!
01:04:49Lil!
01:04:50Lil!
01:04:51Lil!
01:04:52Lil!
01:04:53Lil!
01:04:54Lil!
01:04:55Lil!
01:04:56Lil!
01:04:57Lil!
01:04:58Lil!
01:04:59Lil!
01:05:00Lil!
01:05:01Lil!
01:05:02Lil!
01:05:03Lil!
01:05:04Lil!
01:05:05Lil!
01:05:06Lil!
01:05:07Come on.
01:05:08Talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:09Pa?
01:05:10Yeah.
01:05:11Met me, Ronnie.
01:05:12Just take it easy.
01:05:14Just stay down, all right?
01:05:15We're gonna get you out of here.
01:05:17Okay.
01:05:20Just take it easy.
01:05:21Just stay down, all right?
01:05:25I'm going to get you out of here.
01:05:27Okay.
01:05:49How's Lillian?
01:05:52A few cuts and bruises, but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:58She's out for the night.
01:06:00Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:06:02Give her a couple of days.
01:06:04She'll be right as rain.
01:06:05At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:06:08Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:06:13This too shall pass.
01:06:14The children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:20True miracles.
01:06:22Are you still fretting about the baby-making?
01:06:24I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:28Give it up if you want.
01:06:30But I'm telling you,
01:06:32the shine in your hair is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:37You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:39It doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:40It only matters what you believe.
01:06:42What do you mean?
01:06:43Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:48It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:52I'm sorry I doubted you.
01:06:55You didn't deserve it.
01:06:57The Lord says we are to forgive if we expect to be forgiven.
01:07:03Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning and all is forgiven.
01:07:08That's a promise.
01:07:09That's a promise.
01:07:13Late night tonight.
01:07:20Everyone's worn out.
01:07:22A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:23You know, I think I might read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:37Really?
01:07:37You never read in bed.
01:07:39I think it'll do me good.
01:07:41Help me unwind after the long day we've all had.
01:07:44Doc, I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:56Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:08:00And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage.
01:08:03You need a good home.
01:08:04You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of her home?
01:08:07I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:11Always have been.
01:08:12Always will be.
01:08:16Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:21Yeah.
01:08:22Yeah, I like the sunrise.
01:08:24I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:31I love you too.
01:08:33Good night.
01:08:35Oh, all right.
01:08:36You can read your book now.
01:08:38Okay.
01:08:40All right.
01:08:42I'll just go to sleep.
01:08:44I'm sure I can't help you read it or no.
01:08:53All right.
01:09:04Shouldn't you be in bed?
01:09:06My ball and chain let me come downstairs.
01:09:09She has her mind set on going to the ice cream social.
01:09:12What if I find a shady, comfortable place to just sit and eat ice cream?
01:09:16You are not going to the social.
01:09:18I am a doctor.
01:09:19I vote yes.
01:09:20Well, that's one vote for Dr. Annie and one vote for the midwife.
01:09:25I guess you've got the tie-breaking vote, Doc.
01:09:31I'm sorry, Annie.
01:09:32I'm going to have to side with the midwife.
01:09:34But I love ice cream.
01:09:35Then I'll send you some.
01:09:36That's not the same.
01:09:37How do I know you're not going to sneak out when we're gone?
01:09:40Don't give it a second thought, Doc.
01:09:42This old ball and chain will be sitting right here like a prison warden.
01:09:47You're both against me.
01:09:48That's right.
01:09:49Read your book and pout.
01:09:50Don't you look beautiful?
01:10:05Except for this.
01:10:06Oh, no one will even notice that.
01:10:09Even Joshua.
01:10:10Especially Joshua.
01:10:12Thanks for telling Joshua you can escort me to the social.
01:10:15You're still coming with your mother and I, right?
01:10:17I told him I wanted to walk in with my family and see him from afar.
01:10:20That's very romantic.
01:10:22Must be from all the books I read.
01:10:23Pa.
01:10:27I'm sorry for not making curfew the other night.
01:10:30Oh, no.
01:10:31You were just worried about me.
01:10:32Don't worry about it.
01:10:35You're growing up so fast sometimes I can't keep up with you.
01:10:38Thanks, Pa.
01:10:40Come here.
01:10:40And then he stepped like this.
01:10:56Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:11:08No, thank you.
01:11:09No, thank you, Joshua.
01:11:16Hey, partner.
01:11:18How'd your ice cream?
01:11:20Doc Owens, can we talk?
01:11:22What?
01:11:22I believe you know my husband, Lee.
01:11:26Gordon.
01:11:27I want to thank you.
01:11:29Mabel's as different as night and day.
01:11:31It's all I can do to keep up with her.
01:11:33Well, you do look like a brand new person.
01:11:35I've had a lot more energy.
01:11:36I still need some extra sleep in the afternoons.
01:11:38I'm getting stronger every day.
01:11:40The best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed to receive with a joyful spirit.
01:11:46It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:47Well, I, uh, mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:54Thanks again, Doc.
01:11:55It was my pleasure.
01:11:57And I should be the one to apologize to you, Mabel.
01:12:01I had no right to be cross with you when you needed my help.
01:12:04I hope you can forgive me.
01:12:05There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:09Have a good day.
01:12:10Wow, that was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:19You'd like some ice cream?
01:12:21I'd love some.
01:12:22I got Lee's telegram.
01:12:41Where's Annie?
01:12:42The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:44Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:46I need Belinda now.
01:12:48I want to see Annie.
01:12:50Get Belinda now.
01:12:52You look beautiful.
01:12:58Say, you look handsome.
01:13:01I still can't believe it.
01:13:03Can't believe what?
01:13:06That I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:11It's very sweet of you to say, Joshua.
01:13:13Sure.
01:13:13Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:28Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:30Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:32Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:33Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:44Melinda!
01:13:45Stop going! I need you!
01:13:48Whoa!
01:13:53Melinda!
01:13:54Peter!
01:13:54It's Annie. You gotta come quick.
01:13:57Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:14:00Yes, sir.
01:14:01Yeah! Yeah!
01:14:03No! Get out of here!
01:14:05Yeah!
01:14:11Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:13She's had a seizure. I've got her in bed.
01:14:17Pete,
01:14:18I'm the best way down here.
01:14:21There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:22Dear Lord,
01:14:33please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:39Amen.
01:14:40Amen.
01:14:42Thank you, Lee.
01:14:43You're welcome.
01:14:44Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:59Peter.
01:15:00He's waiting downstairs.
01:15:01Right.
01:15:02I'm afraid so.
01:15:11Please save my baby.
01:15:14I know what you have to do.
01:15:16I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:26What did she mean?
01:15:41You know what has to be done.
01:15:43That baby has to come out if we're to save it.
01:15:46Even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:48That baby is ready.
01:15:50She was talking about a cesarean delivery,
01:15:54which I could do at the clinic,
01:15:55but under very crude conditions.
01:15:57Have you ever done one?
01:15:59I did one once at a hospital in Boston,
01:16:02but I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:16:05And there wasn't a clams handballed.
01:16:07Is there no other choice?
01:16:10Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:16:12Well, then, we'd best get that labor going.
01:16:21What is that?
01:16:23Scotch broom with a little vanilla to help it go down.
01:16:26Women have been using it for centuries.
01:16:29Scotch broom is a weed?
01:16:30A weed the good Lord made.
01:16:33His wonders to perceive.
01:16:35Doesn't work.
01:16:36Sure as the sunrise.
01:16:39A little of this,
01:16:39and we'll have our baby boy in no time.
01:16:48Is there anything else I can do?
01:16:50A glass of water.
01:16:51A glass of water.
01:17:09Our temperature is slightly raised.
01:17:28But our heartbeat in our breathing are normal.
01:17:31No contractions yet.
01:17:33It doesn't seem to be working.
01:17:35It's never taken this long.
01:17:37Let's just give it a little more time.
01:17:38We could lose Annie and the baby.
01:17:43Do you have everything here that you need
01:17:46to do a cesarean delivery?
01:17:52How about taking a spoonful of that faith
01:17:55you're always talking about?
01:17:59I'm going to make some tea.
01:18:01Do you like a cup?
01:18:03No, thank you.
01:18:03Any news?
01:18:19Nothing yet.
01:18:21I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:23You're doing fine, Annie.
01:18:44Just keep breathing.
01:18:45Contractions.
01:18:51Closer together.
01:18:52We are going to introduce
01:18:53this baby boy to his new family.
01:18:56It's all right.
01:18:57It's all right.
01:18:58Keep breathing.
01:19:00Good.
01:19:00Good.
01:19:01No!
01:19:25Congratulations, Uncle Edo!
01:19:32She's so beautiful.
01:19:35I've delivered hundreds of babies, but I've never seen one this perfect.
01:19:41And I'm not just saying that because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:44I thought she was a boy.
01:19:47She carried like a boy.
01:19:50We live and learn, don't we, Doc?
01:19:51We sure do.
01:19:53Thank you both for being here.
01:19:55There's no other place we'd rather be.
01:20:01Is it okay if I come in?
01:20:08Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:15Can I hold her?
01:20:19Come sit.
01:20:31Hey, you got that, Bella?
01:20:52How about your present?
01:20:53Present?
01:20:55These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:57When I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:21:02The way you went through 20,000 links, I figured you'd use a few more.
01:21:05Oh, you think so?
01:21:10I should probably get going.
01:21:12Okay.
01:21:13Will I see you later?
01:21:15Sure is this one fine day.
01:21:17Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter, I could use a little help in here.
01:21:34I'm coming.
01:21:37Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us and the love which envelops us.
01:21:42May we always strive to walk the way you like and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:49Amen.
01:22:01Hey, are you all right?
01:22:02I'm fine.
01:22:03Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:05I've gotten so used to you being at the house, it's going to be too quiet when we're gone.
01:22:09Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:12I think it's time we go home.
01:22:14I'm going to miss you so very much.
01:22:16And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:24What are you doing out here?
01:22:25Oh, I was just getting some fresh air, talking to Annie.
01:22:28You're going to miss her, aren't you?
01:22:31Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:34Let's enjoy her while we can.
01:22:35Let's enjoy her while we can.
01:22:39Thank you very much, thank you.
01:22:46It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:47And Belinda, I can never thank you enough.
01:22:51Well, I wish I could take all the credit, but I had some expert help.
01:22:56This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:59I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:23:01Me too.
01:23:02All aboard, folks!
01:23:04We're burning daylight!
01:23:05I think it's about that time.
01:23:07Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:09Of course.
01:23:20Bye, you two.
01:23:22Bye.
01:23:22All right, take her easy there.
01:23:45Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:49How do I think you marry?
01:23:50Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:56I learned a lot from you.
01:23:58And I from you.
01:24:00I may bring them into the world, but you keep them alive and kicking once they're here.
01:24:05Now, if you ever need a good midwife, you know where to find me.
01:24:10Oh.
01:24:10Oh, young man, I'm going to need a hand here.
01:24:27All right.
01:24:29Here we go.
01:24:30Wait a minute.
01:24:30One, two, three.
01:24:32Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:33Well, Commodore, are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:40I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:42Yes, ma'am.
01:24:44Yeah, get up!
01:24:46Get!
01:24:46Where are you and Mary whispering to each other?
01:25:03I was just telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:06Are you sure?
01:25:17I'm a doctor.
01:25:18I know a pregnant woman when I see one, especially when I am one.
01:25:25Hey!
01:25:25We're going to have a baby.
01:25:28Baby?
01:25:31We're going to have a baby!
01:25:35Lillian Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:37Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:39Yes, ma'am.
01:25:42Joshua Coyle, don't just stand there and gawk.
01:25:44You've got a job to do.
01:25:46Yes, ma'am.
01:25:50I've got patients to attend to and baby plans to make.
01:25:55Now, wait up.
01:25:58Now, wait up a bit.
01:26:01How far along are you?
01:26:04Now, I'm serious.
01:26:06Well, we've got to start talking about names, really.
01:26:09I like leaving for a boy.
01:26:11Oh, you think it's going to be a boy?
01:26:12Or, you know, maybe a dafty for a girl.
01:26:15What do you think?
01:26:15Oh, that's very pretty.
01:26:17Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
01:26:18What do you think?
01:26:20All right, I'll hold on.
01:26:21I'll get the door for you.
01:26:22Oh, wait.
01:26:22My goodness.
01:26:23Take it easy.
01:26:24Oh, stop it.
