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.
00:01:39Cums 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.
00:02:13Is 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?
00:03:01Well, I'm just trying to wear him down for the ride home.
00:03:05You're here early, you're here late.
00:03:07Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going.
00:03:09Aren't you expecting company?
00:03:11My wife's best friend from medical school.
00:03:13Well, she should get here any day now.
00:03:14I was referring to that apprentice of yours.
00:03:16He should be here on Thursday's stage.
00:03:18I'll leave you to your work, Lee.
00:03:21Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:23Take your hand to the doctor.
00:03:27All finished?
00:03:29It'll be $2 for the doctor and 50 cents for the medicine.
00:03:32I'm sorry your husband doesn't allow me any extra money.
00:03:46I 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.
00:03:56Tell her I'll be fine with that medicine.
00:03:57I will absolutely.
00:03:58It's very good to see you.
00:03:59Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:04:00Now you take care of yourself.
00:04:01Okay.
00:04:02All right, pal.
00:04:03What's going on?
00:04:04Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:05I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:07I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:21Here it comes.
00:04:25Here you come.
00:04:27Easy.
00:04:29Hey!
00:04:31Settle down now.
00:04:33Settle.
00:04:35Easy now.
00:04:37I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:43Come on.
00:04:55Aunt Annie's here.
00:04:59Aunt Annie!
00:05:01Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:03No.
00:05:05She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:07Sure, she looks very round.
00:05:09I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:11Oh, let me get that.
00:05:13Oh, it's fine.
00:05:15Everyone treats me like a china doll.
00:05:17I'm not gonna break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:21Me too.
00:05:23I can't tell you how much I appreciate you looking after Annie while I'm away.
00:05:27I didn't want to take a surveying job this close to her having the 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. We're happy to have her.
00:05:37My mother would have stayed with Annie.
00:05:39But I wanted to come visit my best friend and her family before the baby comes.
00:05:43And we're so glad you did.
00:05:45How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:47Broken bones and bee stings, anything a nursing student could handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:52The town loves Ma.
00:05:53They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:54Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:58Hmm.
00:05:59Well, how about I start cleaning and Lee?
00:06:01You'll help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:04All right, son.
00:06:17It's good having Annie here.
00:06:21It is.
00:06:23She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:25I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:28Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:31I'm right here.
00:06:32Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:35I'm just tired.
00:06:36You sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:38What's wrong?
00:06:39I'm not pregnant.
00:06:40Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:41We've tried for so long.
00:06:42We have more than we can handle it, Lil.
00:06:43Oh, I know, but...
00:06:44It's just that when Annie found out the news, it maybe won a baby of our own even more.
00:06:59Now that she's staying with us.
00:07:03No.
00:07:04We are going to have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:09Well, all good things come in God's time, and maybe we should just let him decide.
00:07:18What if he doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:29Hey.
00:07:30Come on.
00:07:32Let's go help Lil finish the dishes, hm?
00:07:39I guess I best believe him now.
00:07:50Peter, please be careful.
00:07:52Yes.
00:07:53My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:56I love you.
00:07:57I love you, too.
00:08:03Bye, ladies.
00:08:04Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:05Will be.
00:08:06Step up.
00:08:08Step up.
00:08:17Boy, are you all right?
00:08:19I don't know.
00:08:21Ha!
00:08:22Oh, no!
00:08:23No!
00:08:24Oh, please!
00:08:25Oh!
00:08:26Oh, oh!
00:08:27Easy!
00:08:28Oh!
00:08:29Oh, oh!
00:08:30Easy!
00:08:31Oh!
00:08:32Oh, oh!
00:08:33Easy!
00:08:34Well, good time, isn't it?
00:08:38In the bags.
00:08:39Got it.
00:08:40Check on the team, Mike.
00:08:43Welcome home, darling.
00:08:44Home.
00:08:45I'm getting confused.
00:08:46How was the trip?
00:08:47Yes!
00:08:57You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:08:59Lee Owens.
00:09:00Welcome, Saxton.
00:09:01How was your trip?
00:09:02Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:09:05Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:09:06Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:08Yes, sir.
00:09:09Well, Saxton's a nice little town.
00:09:11I hope you like it.
00:09:12I expect so.
00:09:13Can I help you with your things?
00:09:15Don't have much.
00:09:16All right.
00:09:17Come on, let me show you the shop.
00:09:18Sounds good.
00:09:19So we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:21Liberty work and rolling stock.
00:09:24Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:27Now, when your blows are even and you can work a straight piece of metal, those will be your tools.
00:09:33It's hard work.
00:09:34But you managed to make something that will last a generation or two.
00:09:37It gives you a sense of pride.
00:09:39I reckon that's true.
00:09:40Well, what do you say?
00:09:41You ready to get started?
00:09:42Yes, sir.
00:09:43All right, then.
00:09:44How was your walk?
00:09:45Tearing around a 30-pound sack of flour?
00:09:46Slow day?
00:09:47Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone comes in from getting caught on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder.
00:10:12You know, when I was traveling through 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.
00:10:31And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:35That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:37Linda, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:41You can tell me anything.
00:10:42You know that.
00:10:43Oh!
00:10:44What is it?
00:10:45It's a quick, sharp pain and shortness of breath and minor faintness.
00:10:46Let's get you to an examination.
00:10:47It's not necessary.
00:10:48Is the baby moving?
00:10:49It isn't that.
00:10:50It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:10:51Let me finish some things up and we'll get you on.
00:10:54You know, my pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:10:55You always walk?
00:10:56Well, legally I've been riding.
00:10:57You walking to my camp?
00:10:58No.
00:10:59No.
00:11:00No.
00:11:01I got a horse to give the little aunt.
00:11:02But he's still a little green.
00:11:03Pesty.
00:11:04I've been breaking him.
00:11:05Getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:06Figured I'd get you on.
00:11:07You know, my pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:11You always walk?
00:11:12Well, legally I've been riding.
00:11:13You walking to my camp?
00:11:14No.
00:11:15Oh, I got a horse to give the little aunt.
00:11:17Well, he's still a little green.
00:11:19Pesty.
00:11:20I've been breaking him.
00:11:21Getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:22Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:23I know nothing to saddle horses.
00:11:25Only harness, bro.
00:11:26I stick with wagons.
00:11:27You better for it.
00:11:28I'm like, not to be on my own.
00:11:29I'm like, I'm not.
00:11:30I'm not.
00:11:31I'm not.
00:11:32I'm not.
00:11:33I'm not.
00:11:34I'm not.
00:11:35I'm not.
00:11:36You're not.
00:11:37You're not.
00:11:38You're not.
00:11:39You're not.
00:11:40You're not.
00:11:41You'd better for it.
00:11:43I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:47What happened today?
00:11:48Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:51And that's coming from the doctoring.
00:11:52When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:55My mother-in-law. She's a midwife.
00:11:57Well, I wish I was the one delivering your baby.
00:11:59It's a doctor's job, after all.
00:12:01I'm sure it's going to be fine.
00:12:06Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:11And you must be Joshua. Welcome to our home.
00:12:18Very nice to meet you, Ms. Owens.
00:12:20That's Dr. Owens.
00:12:23You're a doctor?
00:12:24Yes, as is my best friend, Dr. Annie Watson.
00:12:27It's a pleasure to meet you, Joshua.
00:12:28Ma'am, it's funny. I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:34Allowed?
00:12:35No, I just...
00:12:35And just who do we need permission from?
00:12:37Go easy on him, Lily. He just got here.
00:12:39I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:43Apparently not.
00:12:48That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:49We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:51You'll get used to it.
00:12:54Oh, now.
00:12:56Let's go get washed up.
00:12:59Smells like my favorite.
00:13:01Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:13:03Indeed.
00:13:17Miss Owens?
00:13:19Mr. Coyle?
00:13:20I just want you to know...
00:13:23I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:27I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:30Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:34I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:36Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:38They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:40A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:42I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:45I swear.
00:13:47It's just...
00:13:48Well...
00:13:49I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:51I'm apologizing.
00:13:53I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:56Apology accepted.
00:14:01Well, I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:03Well, this isn't for school.
00:14:05So you read for fun?
00:14:06I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa let me.
00:14:10Well, all right.
00:14:11I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:17Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:33Nice young man.
00:14:34I hadn't noticed.
00:14:36Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:41Good night, Pa.
00:14:55Come in.
00:15:00How are you?
00:15:01I feel so...
00:15:02I feel so good.
00:15:24I think we're going to sue this morning.
00:15:26To you.
00:15:27I feel so good.
00:15:28To you.
00:15:28This is fine, this is fine.
00:15:32It's a nice bed.
00:15:34This is fine.
00:15:36It's not a good bed.
00:15:48It was lovely.
00:15:52It's nothing.
00:15:58This is fine.
00:16:00It's always good.
00:16:28It's all down, right?
00:16:56Sir?
00:16:57Baby.
00:16:58She's fine.
00:17:05This is fine.
00:17:07I just saw her.
00:17:08Baby.
00:17:10What's here?
00:17:11I'm so sorry.
00:17:13Did she have a seizure?
00:17:26No, but she has all the other symptoms.
00:17:29Well, I'll telegraph Peter first thing in the morning.
00:17:31Tell him what's happened.
00:17:34And let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:17:37Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:38Well, Amanda, I'll wire his 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, in 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.
00:18:01And 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 I'm not, I won't be sorry later.
00:18:11I love you.
00:18:13I 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?
00:18:28No, 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.
00:18:37Bye, Ma.
00:18:38Have a good day, darling.
00:18:39Bye, Ma.
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.
00:19:02I 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.
00:19:21Belinda feels Annie's health as well as the baby's is better served staying here until
00:19:28after the delivery.
00:19:30I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:32Lee Owens.
00:19:33That's what he said.
00:19:44Dr.
00:19:44It's for Queen.
00:19:46Sorry, we're closed today, but if you'd like to make an appointment...
00:19:49Were you the one that gave Mabel this tonic?
00:19:51Yes, it's iron for her anemia.
00:19:53Why you got to go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:55What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:58Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:20:00Give her that medicine.
00:20:02I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:03A 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...
00:20:24Who's in the holla?
00:20:28Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:31Yes, I'm just frustrated at 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?
00:20:49There I go preaching again.
00:20:50Oh, it's all right.
00:20:52I suppose I needed to hear it.
00:20:54I'll see you in church, Belinda.
00:20:56Good day.
00:20:56Good day.
00:20:58Good day.
00:20:59Good day.
00:21:08That's it.
00:21:09Steady blows.
00:21:10All right.
00:21:16Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:18Must run in the family.
00:21:19i wish i could take credit for lillian's intelligence but
00:21:24she was adopted still i couldn't be prouder really i never would have know i mean she and
00:21:32mrs i mean dr owen sort of look alike not a fact yeah i mean it's just lillian's very pretty
00:21:40yeah i know she's pretty
00:21:43i'm truthfully not that hungry doctor's orders even if you don't feel up to it you need to finish
00:22:02the entire wall i'm not a child belinda and i'm a doctor i think i know what's best for me
00:22:08knowing and doing are two entirely different things is that another contraction no the baby's
00:22:15just kicking and i have to tell you i'm a little relieved i haven't felt a move since the
00:22:20contractions yesterday you just said it was he how do you know it's a boy i know it sounds silly
00:22:27but mary thinks because i'm carrying so low that it'll be a boy it is silly that's an old wife's
00:22:33tale there's no medical merit to it say what you want but when peter's sister was pregnant
00:22:37mary was concerned because she was carrying so far out in front she said it would be a breached birth
00:22:42and she was right one lucky guess and she's got you believing made up stories goodness he's getting
00:22:48his exercise today do you want to feel that's all right come on belinda don't be nervous
00:22:55it's so strange i never thought i'd be a mother
00:23:02it suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world
00:23:06i'm sorry i've opened that wound haven't i maybe we shouldn't talk about it you know i know so many
00:23:17women that have gotten pregnant without even trying and lee and i have been trying we've both seen it
00:23:23take some time just can't get impatient with yourself i look after this one woman mabel mcqueen
00:23:30she's had six babies in the past eight years without even trying it's important to you isn't it
00:23:36our best get supper ready lee and lillian will be home soon i'm here to talk whenever you'd like to
00:23:47please eat your soup annie
00:23:51i was wondering where you'd run off to
00:24:06i just looked in on annie she's out for the night
00:24:15she keeps insisting she feels fine
00:24:18i think i've heard that before
00:24:23you two are so much alike it's frightening
00:24:26i suppose it's why we're such good friends
00:24:30i noticed you didn't have josh over for supper tonight
00:24:35i'm pretty sure he's sweet on lil
00:24:37i don't want the two of them spending too much time together
00:24:41why not he's only a couple years older
00:24:44doc he's an apprentice blacksmith i want better for lillian
00:24:47i'm the wife of a blacksmith and you don't hear me complaining
00:24:50i spent the last five years trying to figure out how i tricked you into marrying me
00:24:54you could have done much better
00:24:56you didn't trick me into anything
00:24:58i married you because i fell in love with you leones
00:25:01and if lillian and joshua had taken interest in one another
00:25:05i don't think it's our place to stand in their way
00:25:07besides telling lillian she can't have something's like daring to try to stop her
00:25:13i get your point
00:25:18i don't want to get in the way of her happiness
00:25:20still
00:25:21you left a small town to follow your dream
00:25:24and if lill wants to go to college i darn sure want to see it happen
00:25:29i don't want to tie it down to saxon
00:25:32i hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has
00:25:37it's getting a little chilly
00:25:41want to turn in for the night

00:27:31your boss strikes me as a hard-working man
00:27:45he lives and breathes work
00:27:47ma says sometimes he rolls open 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
00:27:54that's like a bad life really
00:27:55so what about you
00:28:01do you want a doctor like your mom
00:28:03i don't know
00:28:04i haven't decided

00:28:10one thing for sure i want to go to college
00:28:12well i better get to work
00:28:14have a nice day
00:28:16joshua

00:28:19i don't think you should be climbing the stairs
00:28:32but i feel fine
00:28:33what's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day
00:28:37but it's only been three days since you had pain and felt faint
00:28:40you know the symptoms and treatment as well as i do
00:28:43that's assuming your diagnosis is correct
00:28:45is that singing
00:28:50i would know that voice anywhere
00:28:52that's mary
00:28:53your mother-in-law
00:28:54what reason does she have to be here
00:28:56mary doesn't need a reason to do anything
00:28:58well this must be it
00:29:13thank you my good man
00:29:18and you have a blessed day
00:29:20and you must be the infamous doc
00:29:25oh and even this
00:29:26mary watson
00:29:28oh you knew that already
00:29:30now where is my peach
00:29:33hi
00:29:33uh would you be a dear and bring my thing along
00:29:36mary what are you doing here
00:29:45where else would you expect me to be
00:29:47oh my little lamb
00:29:48but didn't you get the telegraph from belinda's husband
00:29:51i did that'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
00:30:00i've missed you
00:30:02oh it's darker than the inside of a cow in here
00:30:05yes it is
00:30:06oh please don't do that
00:30:07what
00:30:08she's not a mushroom
00:30:09she needs light
00:30:11all right
00:30:12let's sit up so i can get a good look
00:30:15i'm sorry what are you doing
00:30:16i'm getting her upright
00:30:17if she stays in this bed too long
00:30:20she'll get a crick in her back
00:30:21and it'll make delivery much more painful
00:30:23i think it's better that she's on bed rest for the remainder of her term
00:30:26it's not going to hurt her to sit up
00:30:29when you've delivered as many babies as i have
00:30:32you learn a few things
00:30:33well i've been to medical school for years
00:30:35and rest is the proper treatment
00:30:37you don't learn everything in medical school
00:30:40that is a matter of opinion and i wholeheartedly disagree
00:30:43ladies i'm not a sack of flour
00:30:46there 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
00:31:03i expected twins not triplets
00:31:07in a blizzard
00:31:09oh the little ones pop out whenever they want regardless of the weather
00:31:13fortunately i don't have many emergencies
00:31:15women giving birth are always an emergency
00:31:20that's the penalty we pay for eve eating the apple
00:31:24it is not a penalty
00:31:27wow mrs watson you sure got an exciting life
00:31:29well i should probably get you up to your room annie
00:31:32you let that little fella start running your life now
00:31:36you'll be lacing his shoes when he's 30
00:31:39yes annie told me you believe it's a boy

00:35:56doc 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
00:36:02that's because your anemia is getting worse
00:36:04your body needs iron
00:36:06you're only gonna get sicker
00:36:07what can i do to make it better
00:36:09i already told you
00:36:10vegetables are the tonic
00:36:11if you don't listen to my instructions there is nothing more i can do
00:36:14i tried to take the tonic really i did
00:36:16even started to feel a little stronger
00:36:19and then lloyd found it and you know the rest
00:36:22i certainly do
00:36:23he threw a bottle at me
00:36:24i'm sorry for that really i am
00:36:26he was just upset he didn't mean anything by it
00:36:29he's a wonderful husband and a father
00:36:32maybe but i can't help you if you won't help yourself
00:36:36i am
00:36:37i am
00:36:42here
00:36:49your friend belinda doesn't seem too happy i'd say it's just that she doesn't like me but
00:37:07everybody likes me she isn't happy she's been trying to have a baby
00:37:14and belinda just feels discouraged me showing up in my condition and staying till the baby comes
00:37:21i think it's just another painful reminder why didn't you say something sooner
00:37:27if it's baby trouble she's got i've surely got the cure how about a sugary treat
00:37:34sorry lloyd it isn't here yet it's been over a week you said it'd be here by now
00:37:43the freight line lost the shipping order there's nothing i can do about it there's something i
00:37:48could do if there was another general store within 10 miles of here it'll be here within a week
00:37:53i'm here lloyd what took you so long i'm sorry lloyd there was a little bit of a line
00:38:01there's always an excuse let's get out of here i got fences to mend before sundown
00:38:05she's just feeling poorly elated she's got a newborn and five youngins says 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 this is a severe case of anemia
00:38:32she don't need calling lady i know how to take care of my wife
00:38:36no you don't you are selfish and rude and contentious and you can't see the forest for the trees
00:38:46doc owens is trying to save your wife's life she'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 i'll talk to you anyway i want get her to the clinic
00:39:04you better pray to the merciful and good lord that she doesn't slam the door in your ungrateful face
00:39:17i gave you a double dose so do not take any more today
00:39:34no ma'am starting 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
00:39:48last time we spoke i lost my temper
00:39:51what'll owe you for the tonic
00:39:54only that you allow her to keep taking it
00:39:56we don't need no charity
00:39:57the first one was already paid for this is just a replacement
00:40:00step up
00:40:11yes dear
00:40:20i'm sorry you're sleeping
00:40:22well not anymore
00:40:24my apprentice wants to court lillian
00:40:28his name is joshua
00:40:31i told him i'd think about it
00:40:35well then think
00:40:37don't think too long lillian's grown up
00:40:41i'm having a hard time with it
00:40:43you're having a hard time letting her grow up
00:40:46just try to protect her
00:40:48i don't think she needs protection from joshua
00:40:51he's a very nice young man
00:40:53that's all you have to say about it
00:40:56good night sweetheart
00:40:58all right
00:41:04tomorrow i'll give joshua my permission to court lill
00:41:09i don't think i don't know about your little excursion with annie
00:41:24this town is filled with gossips
00:41:26can't keep a secret for more than five minutes
00:41:28it's a pretty little town sykeston
00:41:31i can see why you like it here
00:41:33may i ask
00:41:35why you feel the need to go against every instruction i have for annie
00:41:38i don't deliberately go against your word
00:41:42we just
00:41:43disagree 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
00:41:50i wouldn't dream of telling you how to treat them
00:41:53that's your business
00:41:54babies are my business
00:41:57have been for 30 years
00:41:59it's just there's been so many new advancements
00:42:02sometimes 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
00:42:17this conversation obviously isn't getting this anywhere
00:42:22so annie tells me you're barren
00:42:26or uh or having trouble anyway
00:42:29i don't think that's any of your concern
00:42:31i see this problem a lot
00:42:34if 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
00:42:43you're too high strung
00:42:45folks worry too much about work
00:42:48family or whether or not they can have a baby
00:42:51then years go by and nothing happens
00:42:54then one day they decide to stop trying
00:42:57and before you know it
00:42:59they find they're with child
00:43:01so your sage advice for me is to relax
00:43:05read a book before you go to bed
00:43:08take some deep breath
00:43:11and before you know it
00:43:13i'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
00:43:39yes i do
00:43:40i'm gonna 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
00:43:56doesn't deserve to eat
00:43:57i ain't got a lot of work to do
00:43:58we just thought you'd have more time off
00:44:00once you hired an apprentice
00:44:01and i do now i'm only two weeks behind instead of six
00:44:04billian you look lovely
00:44:09where are you headed off to
00:44:10joshua and i are having a picnic
00:44:11you enjoy yourself and please tell joshua that we said hello
00:44:15i will
00:44:16you'll be back in time for supper now
00:44:18no exceptions
00:44:18i will i promise
00:44:20bye everyone
00:44:22bye dear
00:44:23i love it
00:44:39the sea is everything
00:44:40it covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe
00:44:42its breath is pure and healthy
00:44:44it is an immense desert where man is never lonely
00:44:47for he feels life stirring on all sides
00:44:49this sea is the only embodiment of the supernatural and wonderful existence
00:44:53it is nothing but love and emotion
00:44:55this living infinite as one of your poets has said
00:44:58i've been reading for almost two hours you must be bored
00:45:03no i don't think i can ever get bored listening to you talk
00:45:06you're just saying that
00:45:08no i'm not i swear
00:45:10it's just
00:45:11i'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
00:45:17twenty thousand leagues is an allegory it's about personal freedom
00:45:21nemo means nobody in latin
00:45:23he's invisible to the world and wants to keep it that way
00:45:25you're brilliant
00:45:26you know that
00:45:27i am brilliant
00:45:29lee
00:45:37you working today
00:45:38you work harder than any man i know
00:45:43well i can't let the customers down
00:45:45besides it gives me thinking time
00:45:47anything that you'd like to share with your pastor
00:45:50this is a lot of rumbling around in my head like a marble
00:45:54sometimes it helps to speak it out loud
00:45:56talking to yourself only gets the answer you're looking for
00:46:00i just can't figure lillian out
00:46:02i'm trying to be a good father to her
00:46:05our children grow up
00:46:08start spreading their wings
00:46:09the father has to be aware of that
00:46:12and try to grow with his child
00:46:14yeah
00:46:15belinda tolerates more than i do
00:46:18she's a mother
00:46:19the good lord gave them the patience of joe when it comes to raising their children
00:46:23he shortchanged fathers in that area
00:46:26yeah
00:46:27yeah
00:46:29i really wish you would get some rest
00:46:36i feel fine
00:46:38looks like someone may have been wrong about my condition
00:46:41perhaps
00:46:42so if things improve with lee
00:46:47he says he isn't bothered but
00:46:49i still sense that he's disappointed we can't have a baby
00:46:52well maybe you're just being overly sensitive and you think that he's disappointed
00:46:56maybe
00:46:57you know i'm starting to think that maybe she regrets 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
00:47:11in 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
00:47:20most women do when they get like that
00:47:22you know we're uh
00:47:25trying to have a baby
00:47:28so far no luck
00:47:30you have to have faith
00:47:32sometimes it's hard river
00:47:35talk to her about your feelings
00:47:38i'd best be getting home
00:47:41this is dave so give me an earful if i'm late for supper
00:47:45and myself included
00:47:46well i see
00:47:54you didn't need my help putting supper on the table
00:47:57you're taking a nap
00:47:59we just wanted you to be able to rest
00:48:01i'll rest enough when i'm dead
00:48:02give me that knife before you cut yourself
00:48:06so do you miss your family
00:48:14i do
00:48:15my pa's a farmer back in pennsylvania
00:48:18he wanted more from me than to spend my entire life plowing fields
00:48:22so he said if i got good enough maybe i can find some work in philadelphia
00:48:26sounds like he cares about you a lot
00:48:28yeah my family's pretty close
00:48:30it's kind of strange though
00:48:33you know being out here all by myself
00:48:36i have three sisters and two brothers and not a moment apiece
00:48:39back at the boarding house i got nothing but quiet
00:48:41i know what you mean
00:48:42i 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
00:48:51now i miss having someone to talk to
00:48:54yeah me
00:48:56do don't i
00:48:58so tell me something how'd you ever find a place like this anyway
00:49:05i stumbled across it by accident while riding one day and it's so far off the main roads no one really comes out here
00:49:11so i brought some of my old stuff and 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 where he went to escape
00:49:22this reminds me of it
00:49:24yeah well the timber still seems
00:49:27i wouldn't do that
00:49:28whoa
00:49:29not as sound as you might think
00:49:34you're probably right
00:49:35i think it's best we pack up
00:49:38well i'm happy to see you and mary are getting along
00:49:45you know her fertility advice to me was to relax and read a book before bed
00:49:52did you try it
00:49:53of course not
00:49:54she's been doing this longer than we've been alive
00:49:57i can't believe you annie watson
00:49:59you've spent three years in medical school
00:50:02five years practicing medicine
00:50:03and you're gonna believe that woman's folk magic
00:50:05it's rubbish
00:50:06plain and simple
00:50:07we ask people to believe in things they don't understand and 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
00:50:16it is not the same thing and we're talking about mary here
00:50:18why do you have such a hard time believing in mary's ways
00:50:21okay
00:50:21mary is a lovely woman
00:50:24but you have to admit
00:50:25she's a little touch in the head
00:50:27she doesn't like me any more than i like her
00:50:29really
00:50:30the 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
00:50:40mary 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
00:50:48spoke up for you and just plain made him cower
00:50:51come on
00:50:55let's go
00:50:56thank you
00:51:00do you have any idea what time it is
00:51:05hi pa
00:51:06you're supposed to be home for supper
00:51:08joshua 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
00:51:13that's more than a little while
00:51:15why are you so angry
00:51:16i thought i could trust your judgment
00:51:18but apparently i was wrong
00:51:19what's that supposed to mean
00:51:20it means you can't spend any more time with joshua coil until i say so
00:51:24you'll go to school help your mother at the clinic and 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
00:51:31joshua is only two years older than i am and no one tells him what to do
00:51:34no one said the world was fair young lady
00:51:36lil
00:51:38i was worried about you

00:52:25bandages

00:54:03you're leaving before the baby comes oh you'll do fine
00:54:08and besides the last thing you need is an old granny midwife gumming up the works
00:54:17this doesn't have anything to do with the disagreement between you and belinda does it
00:54:31oh no no no no truth is i'm feeling homesick i miss sleeping in my own bed and my patients back home don't have a smart lady doctor to take care of them

00:55:17i will ma and thank you for what for understanding about me and joshua
00:55:22Believe it or not, I was your age once.
00:55:37I'm not gonna keep her from church social.
00:55:40You may not be able to go with her, but you'll see her there.
00:55:44In the meantime, we have an order to finish.
00:55:48All right, I like your attitude.
00:55:52You're leaving. Time for me to go home.
00:56:01Oh, sorry to hear that.
00:56:03I'm gonna see her off into town.
00:56:05Annie, I 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. And I've been all over this whole territory through my entire pregnancy.
00:56:14I think I can handle a short walk into town.
00:56:16Doc Owens!
00:56:17Danny.
00:56:19Lillian told me you was here. Ma's in labor.
00:56:24Okay, there's a horse and buggy in the barn. Help me hook it up.
00:56:27Yes, ma'am.
00:56:28I trust you weren't walking to town while I'm away.
00:56:35All right, Peach Pie. You get back in the house and stay put.
00:56:40Belinda and I have a baby to deliver.
00:56:43Mrs. Travis is my patient.
00:56:44If you find you don't need me, you have my permission to just shove me out of the way.
00:56:51But if you do, I'm there.
00:56:55Fine, but only because I don't have time to argue with you.
00:56:58Thank you, young man.
00:57:14It's never taken this long. The first few hours seemed normal, but then it just stopped.
00:57:18What stopped? The contractions?
00:57:19No, Doc, the baby. It's like it's stuck, but I can't see the head.
00:57:23I'll see you to her. Your mama's gonna be fine.
00:57:25It's a fetal dystocia.
00:57:30A what?
00:57:31The baby's shoulder is stuck.
00:57:33What are you fixing to do with that?
00:57:34We have to get the baby out before it suffocates.
00:57:37We start pulling. We could make things worse.
00:57:40What should we do?
00:57:42Well, if you can't get the baby out from the inside, you'd try it from the outside.
00:57:48All right, help me with her now.
00:57:50That's good.
00:57:51What are we doing?
00:57:52We're gonna flatten out her hip bones.
00:57:57Travis, stay down for me.
00:57:59There. Now.
00:58:01We're gonna see if you're stuck and who's not.
00:58:15There.
00:58:16I'm trapped in this.
00:58:30It's all right.
00:58:31Can we hang it in?
00:58:35I'll catch you.
00:58:36Pa?
00:58:39Pa?
00:58:41I'm through it. Hey, cool job. Oh, you got it.
00:58:43Hello, Joshua.
00:58:45Where's my pa?
00:58:47He's on delivery, then 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.
00:59:14Joshua.
00:59:21Pa is being so unreasonable.
00:59:24We were late coming home, okay?
00:59:26Don't tell me you're on his side.
00:59:29What'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 were all right
00:59:35when you didn't make it home on time.
00:59:36You sound just like pa.
00:59:38Ma is the only one who understands.
00:59:41Lillian, wait a second.
00:59:44Come on.
00:59:54Get out! Get out!
00:59:56Get out!
01:00:11It's a beautiful baby boy and your wife is fine.
01:00:14Can 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.
01:00:38Uh, that'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.
01:01:02I learned something either.
01:01:04I learned something yesterday.
01:01:04That'll be a boy to you.
01:01:05Brooke.
01:01:06Stay alive.
01:01:07Oh, my God.
01:01:16I learned something.
01:01:20I learned something like this.
01:01:21I learned something a lot.
01:01:24But I'm smart.
01:01:25Oh, my God.
01:01:25I never learned something like him.
01:01:26I.
01:01:27All right, whoa.
01:01:47Whoa.
01:01:55Whoa.
01:01:57Have you seen Lillian?
01:02:01No.
01:02:02Why?
01:02:03Well, 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.
01:02:08Said you were the only one who understands her.
01:02:10We were hoping she'd run off to find you.
01:02:12She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:02:15It's about to get dark outside.
01:02:17She gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:19I think I know where she is.
01:02:21Oh, it's worse this time.
01:02:22I feel like I could faint.
01:02:23Okay, okay.
01:02:24Let's get her inside.
01:02:25It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:29It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:44It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:51That's when I first started to die.
01:02:52Come in.
01:02:54Wait, wait.
01:02:55I'll see.
01:02:56Keep that in mind when I took a light abord.
01:02:57Why?
01:03:06This is also another thing I created.
01:03:08How much further?
01:03:24It's just up ahead.
01:03:33How are you feeling?
01:03:35I'm really not as lighted as it is before.
01:03:37I like to just go to bed.
01:03:39Let's get you upstairs to a darkened room.
01:03:42Doctor's orders.
01:04:07Was it like this before?
01:04:22No, sir.
01:04:22Looks like there is a cave-in.
01:04:25She might be hurt.
01:04:28This is one of her lamps.
01:04:29Come on.
01:04:30Let's go.
01:04:31Lil!
01:04:31Lil!
01:04:31Lil!
01:04:31It's right up there.
01:04:43I see her.
01:04:46Lil!
01:04:50Lil!
01:04:51Give me a hand with this.
01:04:53One, two, three.
01:04:54We got it!
01:05:00We got it!
01:05:00We got it!
01:05:00We got it!
01:05:00Lil!
01:05:03Lil!
01:05:04Come on.
01:05:05Talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:12Pa?
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:15I'm here, honey.
01:05:17Just take it easy.
01:05:19Just stay down, all right?
01:05:20Let me get you out of here.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:25Okay.
01:05:47How'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 of 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.
01:06:09Ah.
01:06:10This too shall pass.
01:06:12Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:18True miracles.
01:06:19Are you still fretting about the baby-making?
01:06:22I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:26Give it up if you want.
01:06:28But I'm telling you, the shine in your hair is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:35You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:36It doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:38It only matters what you believe.
01:06:40What do you mean?
01:06:41Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:45It'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.
01:07:00Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning and all is forgiven.
01:07:06That's a promise.
01:07:07Late night tonight, everyone'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.
01:07:42Mm-hmm.
01:07:48Doc.
01:07:50I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:54Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:58And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage.
01:08:00You need a good home.
01:08:01You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of her home?
01:08:05I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:09Always have been.
01:08:10Always will be.
01:08:14Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:15I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:27I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:28I 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 no?
01:08:50All 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?
01:09:37Don't give it a second thought, Doc.
01:09:40This old ball and chain will be sitting right here like a prison warden.
01:09:44You're both against me.
01:09:46That's right.
01:09:46Read your book and pout.
01:10:01Don't you look beautiful?
01:10:03Except for this.
01:10:04I don't know who will even notice that.
01:10:06Even Joshua?
01:10:07Especially Joshua.
01:10:09Thanks for telling Joshua you're going to escort me to the social.
01:10:12You're still coming with your mother and I, 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.
01:10:19Must 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.
01:10:38Mr. 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?
01:11:20I believe you know my husband, Lee.
01:11:23Gordon.
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.
01:11:34I still need some extra sleep in the afternoons.
01:11:36I'm getting stronger every day.
01:11:37Well, the best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed to receive with a joyful spirit.
01:11:43It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:45Well, I, uh, mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:52Thanks again, Doc.
01:11:53It was my pleasure.
01:11:54And I should be the one to apologize to you, Mabel.
01:11:58I had no right to be crossed with you when you needed my help.
01:12:01I hope you can forgive me.
01:12:03There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:04Thank you, Sue.
01:12:07Have a good day.
01:12:12Wow, look at that.
01:12:14That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:17You like some ice cream?
01:12:19I love some.
01:12:19I love some.
01:12:34I got these telegrams.
01:12:39Where's Annie?
01:12:40The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:42Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:44I need Belinda now.
01:12:45I want to see Annie.
01:12:47Get Belinda now.
01:12:51You look beautiful.
01:12:55So you look handsome.
01:12:57I 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.
01:13:09That's very sweet of you to say, Joshua.
01:13:11Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:26Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:27Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:29Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:31Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:33Melinda, John Goins, I need you.
01:13:46Whoa, whoa.
01:13:50What's that?
01:13:51Melinda.
01:13:52Peter.
01:13:52It's Annie.
01:13:53You gotta come quick.
01:13:55Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:13:59Yeah, yeah.
01:14:00Stand back.
01:14:00Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:11She's had a seizure.
01:14:12I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete, what's the best way down here?
01:14:19There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:20Dear Lord, please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:36Amen.
01:14:38Amen.
01:14:40Thank you, Lee.
01:14:41You're welcome.
01:14:43Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:43Peter.
01:14:58He's waiting downstairs.
01:15:01Right.
01:15:03It is eclipsia.
01:15:05I'm afraid so.
01:15:09Please take my baby.
01:15:10You know what you have to do.
01:15:22I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:24What 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 a clamsie involved.
01:16:05Is there no other choice?
01:16:08Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:16:10Well, then, we'd best get that labor going.
01:16:17What 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 is 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 heartbeat and our breathing are normal.
01:17:29No contractions yet.
01:17:30It doesn't seem to be working.
01:17:32It's never taken this long.
01:17:34Let's just give it a little more time.
01:17:37We could lose Annie and the baby.
01:17:40Do you have everything here that you need to do a cesarean delivery?
01:17:50How about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:57I'm going to make some tea.
01:17:59Do you like a cup?
01:18:00No, 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.
01:18:42Contractions, closer together.
01:18:49We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family.
01:18:54It's all right.
01:18:55It's all right.
01:18:56Good job.
01:18:57Keep breathing.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Congratulations, Uncle Needle.
01:19:24She's so beautiful.
01:19:29She's so beautiful.
01:19:33I've delivered hundreds of babies, but I've never seen one this...
01:19:37Perfect.
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.
01:19:50Thank you both for being here.
01:19:52There's no other place we'd rather be.
01:19:58Is it okay if I come in?
01:20:05Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:06Can I hold her?
01:20:16Come sit.
01:20:17Oh, my God.
01:20:47Hey, you got that, fella?
01:20:49How about your present?
01:20:51Present?
01:20:53These are a few of my secrets.
01:20:56When I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:21:00The way you went through 20,000 links, I figured you'd use a few more.
01:21:03Oh, you think so?
01:21:07I should probably get going.
01:21:09Okay.
01:21:10Will I see you later?
01:21:13Sure as this is 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.
01:21:35Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us and the love which envelops us.
01:21:40May we always strive to walk the way you like and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:47Amen.
01:21:58Hey, are you all right?
01:22:00I'm fine.
01:22:01Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:02I'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.
01:22:16What are you doing out of here?
01:22:23Oh, I was just getting some fresh air, talking to Annie.
01:22:25You're going to miss her, aren't you?
01:22:28Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:32Let's enjoy her what 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.
01:22:53This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:56I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:59Me too.
01:23:00All aboard, folks.
01:23:01We're burning daylight.
01:23:03I think it's about that time.
01:23:05Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:07Of course.
01:23:09I thought you'd do.
01:23:19Bye.
01:23:20Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:46How do I thank you, Mary?
01:23:48Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:54I 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.
01:24:22Oh, 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.
01:24:29Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:34Well, Commodore, are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:38I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:40Yes, ma'am.
01:24:41Yeah, get out.
01:24:44Get out.
01:24:58Where are you and Mary whispering to each other?
01:25:01Oh, she's telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:08You need me?
01:25:09Mm-hmm.
01:25:13Are you sure?
01:25:14I'm a doctor.
01:25:15I know a pregnant woman when I see one, especially when I am one.
01:25:22Hey.
01:25:24We're going to have a baby.
01:25:26Baby?
01:25:29We're going to have a baby.
01:25:32Lillian Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:34Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:36Yes, ma'am.
01:25:39Joshua Coyle, don't just stand there and gawk.
01:25:42You've got a job to do.
01:25:44Yes, ma'am.
01:25:47I've got patients to attend to and baby plans to make.
01:25:50Now, wait up.
01:25:55Now, wait up a bit.
01:25:59How far along are you?
01:26:02Now, I'm serious.
01:26:04Well, we've got to start talking about names, really.
01:26:06I like leaving for a boy.
01:26:08Oh, you think it's going to be a boy?
01:26:10Or, you know, maybe dafty poor 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.
01:26:18I'm going to hold on.
01:26:18I'm going to get the door for you.
01:26:19Oh, wait.
01:26:20My goodness.
01:26:21I don't want to spell it.
