00:00:01But it would hurt my feelings if you delivered my first grandson without me.
00:00:05I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:00:07And I'm counting on you.
00:00:09Keep good thoughts, the baby.
00:00:12We'll see you in a few weeks, Mother.
00:00:13All right, Peter Watson, you drive slowly and easily.
00:00:18And avoid the ruts in the bus.
00:00:21Annie and my grandson do not need to be jostled around like a sack of potatoes.
00:00:26Yes, ma'am.
00:00:30I got it for you, Joe.
00:00:31Yes, sir!
00:00:32Skip up!
00:01:00It just feels awful sometimes.
00:01:15What exactly are you feeling?
00:01:17I don't mean to complain, Doctor, but I'm just plum wore out.
00:01:21Sometimes I can barely keep my head up.
00:01:23And when did you start feeling this way?
00:01:25When I had my youngest.
00:01:26About five months ago.
00:01:32Your mouth, please.
00:01:39Dums are very pale, Mabel.
00:01:41You haven't noticed when you look in the mirror?
00:01:43I'm not sure I know what they're supposed to look like.
00:01:45Well, I think you have anemia, which means you don't have enough iron in your body.
00:01:48It's common with new mothers.
00:01:50When the baby was inside of you, he took most of your iron.
00:01:53So it's nothing serious, then?
00:01:55Oh, it's very serious.
00:01:56What took you so long to come to me?
00:01:58Well, you see, my husband doesn't think I'm really sick.
00:02:01He says I'm just lazy.
00:02:03You take care of six children and a husband while you work harder than he does.
00:02:07Lloyd's a good man, Doc Owens.
00:02:08Really, he is.
00:02:09He just don't trust doctors.
00:02:11Not since his sister died.
00:02:14Is there a tonic I can take for this anemia?
00:02:16There is a tonic, but eating vegetables would be much more effective.
00:02:19Lloyd doesn't really like all those vegetables.
00:02:22He prefers his meat and potatoes.
00:02:33You take two spoonfuls twice a day and come and see me in a week.
00:02:38It's very important that my coming to see you is kept private.
00:02:41What goes on between a doctor and a patient is always very private.
00:02:56Hello, Lee.
00:02:58Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:59You're eating that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:01Well, I'm just trying to wear him down for the ride home.
00:03:05You're here early, you're here late.
00:03:07Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going.
00:03:09Aren't you expecting company?
00:03:11My wife's best friend from medical school.
00:03:13Well, she should get here any day now.
00:03:14I was referring to that apprentice of yours.
00:03:16He should be here on Thursday's stage.
00:03:18I'll leave you to your work, Lee.
00:03:21Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:23Take your hand to the doctor.
00:03:27All finished?
00:03:29It'll be $2 for the doctor and 50 cents for the medicine.
00:03:32I'm sorry your husband doesn't allow me any extra money.
00:03:47I have to use the sock money I've saved up.
00:03:50Why don't we just call it a dollar even?
00:03:53That's very kind of you.
00:03:55Don't mention it, Mrs. McQueen.
00:03:57Can you tell her I'll be by with that medicine?
00:04:01I will absolutely.
00:04:02Very good to see you.
00:04:03Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:04:05How do you take care of yourself?
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:07All right, pal.
00:04:08Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:10Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:11Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:12Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:18I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:20That's a perfect child.
00:04:21Here it comes.
00:04:22Easy.
00:04:23Hey!
00:04:24Settle down now.
00:04:25Settle.
00:04:26Settle.
00:04:27Easy now.
00:04:28I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:29Come on.
00:04:30That's a close.
00:04:31Come on.
00:04:32That was a close.
00:04:33Come on.
00:04:34It's a close.
00:04:36Come on.
00:04:37It's a close.
00:04:39Come on.
00:04:41You too.
00:04:42That was a close.
00:04:43Hey!
00:04:44That's a close.
00:04:45Come on.
00:04:46Come on.
00:04:47Hey!
00:04:48Hey!
00:04:49Hi!
00:04:51Hey!
00:04:55I'm gone.
00:04:56Hey, boy!
00:04:57Hey!
00:04:59Hey, good friend!
00:05:00Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:04She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:06Sure, she looks very round.
00:05:09I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:11Oh, let me get that.
00:05:13Oh, it's fine.
00:05:15If everyone treats me like a China doll, I'm not going to break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:20Me too.
00:05:23I can't tell you how much I appreciate you looking after Annie while I'm away.
00:05:26I didn't want to take a surveying job this close to her having the baby, but we need the money.
00:05:32I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:34But you're mine at ease, Pete. 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.
00:05:44How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:46Broken bones and bee stings, anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:51The town loves Mom. They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:53Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:59Well, how about I start cleaning and leave?
00:06:01You'll help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:16All right, so.
00:06:19It's good having Annie here.
00:06:20It is.
00:06:21She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:25I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:27Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:30I'm right here.
00:06:31Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:34I'm just tired.
00:06:36You sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:39What's wrong?
00:06:41I'm not pregnant.
00:06:42Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:45We've tried for so long.
00:06:47We have more than we can handle with Lill.
00:06:48Oh, I know, but it's just that when Annie found out the news, it maybe won a baby of
00:06:56her own even more.
00:06:59And now that she's staying with us.
00:07:04No.
00:07:04Well, we are going to have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:12All 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?
00:07:19Hey.
00:07:29Hey.
00:07:31Come on.
00:07:33Let's go help Lill finish the dishes.
00:07:35Hmm?
00:07:35I guess I'd 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.
00:07:58Bye, ladies.
00:08:04Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:05I hope you will.
00:08:07Step up.
00:08:17Boy, are you all right?
00:08:19I don't know.
00:08:21Ha!
00:08:23Oh, no.
00:08:24No!
00:08:26Oh, jeez!
00:08:28Well, it's a good time, isn't it?
00:08:38Bags.
00:08:39Got it.
00:08:40Check on the team, Mike.
00:08:42Welcome home, darling.
00:08:44Oh.
00:08:45You.
00:08:46That was the trip.
00:08:48Yeah.
00:08:56It must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:08:59Who are you always?
00:09:00Welcome, Saxton.
00:09:01How's your trip?
00:09:02Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:09:05Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:09:06Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:08Yes, sir.
00:09:08Abby.
00:09:09Well, Saxton's a nice little town.
00:09:11I hope you like it.
00:09:12I expect so.
00:09:14Can I help you with your things?
00:09:15Don't have much.
00:09:16All right.
00:09:19Come on.
00:09:19Let me show you the shop.
00:09:20Sounds good.
00:09:23So we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:26Liberty work and rolling stock.
00:09:28Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:31Now, when your blows are even and you can work a straight piece of metal, those will be your tools.
00:09:37It's hard work.
00:09:38But you managed to make something that lasts a generation or two.
00:09:40Well, it gives you a sense of pride.
00:09:44I reckon that's true.
00:09:46What do you say?
00:09:48You ready to get started?
00:09:49Yes, sir.
00:09:50All right, then.
00:09:51How was your walk?
00:10:01You're tearing around a 30-pound sack of flour.
00:10:04Slow day?
00:10:05Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone comes in from getting caught on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder.
00:10:12You know, when I was traveling through Selena last month, there was a rash of copperhead snake bites.
00:10:16It felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:19I haven't had anything as exciting as a snake bite in months.
00:10:23You should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve.
00:10:27It's our job as doctors to care about even the most minor illness or affliction.
00:10:31And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:35That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:39Linda, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:42You can tell me anything.
00:10:43You know that.
00:10:46Oh!
00:10:47What is it?
00:10:49It's a quick, sharp pain and shortness of breath and minor faintness.
00:10:54Let's get you to an examination.
00:10:56It's not necessary.
00:10:57Is the baby moving?
00:10:59It isn't that.
00:11:01It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:04Let me finish some things up and we'll get you on.
00:11:06You know, my pa says walking's good for man's constitution.
00:11:16You always walk?
00:11:17Well, lately I've been riding.
00:11:19You walking to my camp?
00:11:21No.
00:11:21No.
00:11:22No.
00:11:23I got a horse to give to Little Ant.
00:11:25But he's still a little green.
00:11:27Pesty.
00:11:28I've been breaking him, getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:32Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:35I know nothing of saddle horses.
00:11:37Only harness, bro.
00:11:39I stick with wagons.
00:11:40You'd better pour it.
00:11:41I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:46What happened today?
00:11:48Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:50And that's coming from the doctoring.
00:11:52When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:54My mother-in-law.
00:11:55She's a midwife.
00:11:56Well, I wish I was the one delivering your baby.
00:11:59It's a doctor's job after all.
00:12:01I'm sure it's going to be fine.
00:12:05Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:08And you must be Joshua.
00:12:16Welcome to her home.
00:12:17Very nice to meet you, Ms. Owens.
00:12:19Uh, that's Dr. Owens.
00:12:22You're a doctor?
00:12:23Yes, as is my best friend, Dr. Annie Watson.
00:12:26It's a pleasure to meet you, Joshua.
00:12:28Ma'am, it's funny.
00:12:30I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:33Allowed?
00:12:34No, I just...
00:12:35And just who would we need permission from?
00:12:37Go easy on him, Lily.
00:12:38Lily just got here.
00:12:39I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:42Apparently not.
00:12:48That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:49We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:51You'll get used to it.
00:12:54Well, now.
00:12:56Let's go get washed up.
00:12:59Smells like my favorite.
00:13:01Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:13:03Indeed.
00:13:03Indeed.
00:13:04Indeed.
00:13:04Indeed.
00:13:08Miss 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.
00:13:32I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:36Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:37They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:40A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:42I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:45I swear.
00:13:46It's just...
00:13:47Well...
00:13:48I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:51I'm apologizing.
00:13:51I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:55Apology accepted.
00:13:56Well, I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:03Well, this isn't for school.
00:14:04So you read for fun?
00:14:06I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa let me.
00:14:09Well, all right.
00:14:11I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:16Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:17Good night, Pa.
00:14:41Good night, Pa.
00:14:47Good night, Pa.
00:15:17Good night, Pa.
00:15:47What is it?
00:15:52It's me.
00:16:00This is really well.

00:19:11ALRIGHT
00:19:12HAVE A GOOD DAY
00:19:13SWEET DARLING
00:19:14BELINDA FEELS ANNI'S HEALTH
00:19:16AS WELL AS THE BABY'S
00:19:18IS BETTER SERVED STAYING HERE
00:19:20UNTIL AFTER THE DELIVERY
00:19:22I HAVE WIRE PETER THE SAME MESSAGE
00:19:26LEAWENS
00:19:27until after the delivery.
00:19:30I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:32Lee Owens.
00:19:43Dr. Alton.
00:19:45Mr. McQueen.
00:19:46Sorry, we're closed today,
00:19:47but 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
00:19:54she's got this and that condition?
00:19:55What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:57Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:20:00Give her that medicine.
00:20:01I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:03A doctor killed my sister with tonic.
00:20:06I don't know the details of your sister's death,
00:20:09but there's no magic to it.
00:20:11Your wife had a baby a month ago,
00:20:12and she has a very serious medical condition.
00:20:14Maybe if you weren't so hard-headed,
00:20:16you would realize that.
00:20:18Now, my advice-
00:20:19I don't need your mouth nor your advice,
00:20:20and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:22Doctors aren't worth a-
00:20:23Who's to holler?
00:20:27Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:30Yes, I'm just frustrated
00:20:32at a very stubborn and hard-headed man.
00:20:34Lloyd McQueen is truly set in his ways,
00:20:37but he's still a child of our Maker.
00:20:39He has no compassion for his wife's condition.
00:20:41Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times,
00:20:44and lose sight of the compassion
00:20:46we should have for others?
00:20:47There I go preaching again.
00:20:50Oh, it's all right.
00:20:51I suppose I needed to hear it.
00:20:52I'll see you in church, Belinda.
00:20:55Good day.
00:21:08That's it. Steady blows.
00:21:09All 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,
00:21:24but she was adopted.
00:21:26Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:28Really?
00:21:28Huh.
00:21:29I never would have known.
00:21:31I mean, she and Mrs.
00:21:32I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:36Matter of fact.
00:21:37Yeah, I mean, it's just, Lillian's very pretty.
00:21:41Yeah, I know she's pretty.
00:21:43I'm truthfully not that hungry.
00:21:58Doctor's orders.
00:22:00Even if you don't feel up to it,
00:22:01you need to finish the entire bowl.
00:22:03I'm not a child, Belinda.
00:22:05And I'm a doctor.
00:22:06I think I know what's best for me.
00:22:07Knowing and doing are two entirely different things.
00:22:10Is that another contraction?
00:22:14No, the baby's just kicking.
00:22:16And I have to tell you, I'm a little relieved.
00:22:18I haven't felt a move since the contractions yesterday.
00:22:20You just said it was...he?
00:22:24How do you know it's a boy?
00:22:25I know it sounds silly, but Mary thinks because I'm carrying so low that it'll be a boy.
00:22:30It is silly.
00:22:31That's an old wives' tale.
00:22:32There's no medical merit to it.
00:22:34Say what you want, but when Peter's sister was pregnant, Mary was concerned because she was carrying so far out in front.
00:22:40She said it would be a breech birth, and she was right.
00:22:44One lucky guess, and she's got you believing made-up stories.
00:22:47Goodness, he's getting his exercise today.
00:22:49Do you want to feel?
00:22:51That's all right.
00:22:52Come on, Belinda.
00:22:54Don't be nervous.
00:22:55It's so strange.
00:23:00I never thought I'd be a mother.
00:23:02And it suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world.
00:23:05I'm sorry.
00:23:10I've opened that wound, haven't I?
00:23:14Maybe we shouldn't talk about it.
00:23:16You know, I know so many women that have gotten pregnant without even trying.
00:23:20And Lee and I have been trying.
00:23:22We've both seen it take some time.
00:23:24You just can't get impatient with yourself.
00:23:28I look after this one woman, Mabel McQueen.
00:23:31She's had six babies in the past eight years without even trying.
00:23:34It's important to you, isn't it?
00:23:41We best get supper ready.
00:23:42Lee and Lillian will be home soon.
00:23:45I'm here to talk whenever you'd like to.
00:23:49Please eat your soup, Annie.
00:24:04I was wondering where you'd run off to.
00:24:12I just looked in on Annie.
00:24:13She's out for the night.
00:24:16She keeps insisting she feels fine.
00:24:20I think I've heard that before.
00:24:24You two are so much alike, it's frightening.
00:24:28I suppose it's why we're such good friends.
00:24:32I noticed you didn't have Joshua over for supper tonight.
00:24:34I'm pretty sure he's sweet on Lill.
00:24:38I don't want the two of them spending too much time together.
00:24:41Why not?
00:24:42He's only a couple of years older.
00:24:43Doc, he's an apprentice blacksmith.
00:24:46I want better for Lillian.
00:24:47I'm the wife of a blacksmith, and you don't hear me complaining.
00:24:50I spent the last five years trying to figure out how I tricked you into marrying me.
00:24:54You could have done much better.
00:24:56You didn't trick me into anything.
00:24:58I married you because I fell in love with you, Leonis.
00:25:02And if Lillian and Joshua had taken interest in one another, I don't think it's our place
00:25:06to stand in their way, besides telling Lillian she can't have some things.
00:25:11Like daring to try to stop her.
00:25:15I get your point.
00:25:18I don't want to get in the way of her happiness.
00:25:20Still, you left a small town to follow your dream.
00:25:24And if Lill wants to go to college, I darn sure want to see it happen.
00:25:29I don't want her tied down to Saxon.
00:25:34I hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has.
00:25:40It's getting a little chilly.
00:25:42Want to turn in for the night?
00:25:43You go ahead, I'll be up in a little while.
00:26:05Don't be in such a hurry, pretty lady.
00:26:09Please allow me to pass.
00:26:11We need to get to know each other.
00:26:14I think not.
00:26:15I don't want to be late for school.
00:26:17I can teach you more than any school can.
00:26:19Excuse me.
00:26:21You mind letting the young lady pass?
00:26:24This ain't none of your affairs, sod buster.
00:26:26Ah, but it is.
00:26:27It ain't.
00:26:28You knocked your head off, boy.
00:26:35Now you hold on a second.
00:26:37Now the good book tells me to turn the other cheek.
00:26:39Now I only have two.
00:26:40It's after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:49That was the second cheek.
00:26:50You're breaking my wrist.
00:26:51Well, I understand there's a fine doctor in town.
00:26:53Yeah, please don't.
00:26:54Please don't break.
00:26:55I trust I'll never see you around Miss Owens again.
00:26:57No, never.
00:26:58Good.
00:26:59Now get.
00:27:00Morning, Miss Owens.
00:27:01You on your way to school?
00:27:02Indeed I am.
00:27:03May I walk with you?
00:27:04I did the best I could, Jim, but you better go easy on it, alright?
00:27:18Your boss strikes me as a hard-working man.
00:27:19He lives and breathes work.
00:27:20Ma says sometimes he rolls over to sleep and tries to use their arms like a set of
00:27:25horses.
00:27:26tongs.
00:27:57So what about you?
00:27:58I'm a doctor like your ma?
00:27:59I don't know.
00:28:00I haven't decided.
00:28:01Maybe I want to be a lawyer or a famous writer like Harriet Beecher Stowe.
00:28:06One thing for sure, I want to go to college.
00:28:07Well, I better get to work.
00:28:08Have a nice day, Joshua.
00:28:09You too, Lily.
00:28:10I don't think you should be climbing the stairs, but I feel fine.
00:28:11What's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day.
00:28:13I don't think you should be climbing the stairs, but I feel fine.
00:28:16What's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day.
00:28:19I don't think you should be climbing the stairs.
00:28:32I feel fine.
00:28:33What's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day.
00:28:36But it's only been three days since you had pain and felt faint.
00:28:39You know the symptoms and treatment as well as I do.
00:28:42That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:48Is that singing?
00:28:49I would know that voice anywhere.
00:28:51That's Mary.
00:28:52Your mother-in-law?
00:28:53What reason does she have to be here?
00:28:55Mary doesn't need a reason to do anything.
00:29:03Prevailing.
00:29:04Well, this must be it.
00:29:06Oh, Jesus.
00:29:07Thank you, my good man.
00:29:08And you have a blessed day.
00:29:09And you must be the infamous Doc Owen's infamous.
00:29:12Mary Watson.
00:29:13Oh, she knew that already.
00:29:14Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:16Would you be a dear and bring my thing along?
00:29:22Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:23Be the infamous Doc Owen's infamous.
00:29:27Mary Watson, oh, do you need that already?
00:29:31Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:34Uh, would you be a dear and bring my thing to love?
00:29:43Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:44Where else would you expect me to be?
00:29:47Oh, my little lamb.
00:29:48What? But didn't you get the telegraph from Melinda's husband?
00:29:50I did, that's why I'm here.
00:29:51I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend,
00:29:55but 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? She's not a mushroom. She needs light.
00:30:11All right, let's sit up so I can get a good look.
00:30:14I'm sorry, what are you doing?
00:30:15I'm getting her upright.
00:30:17If she stays in this bed too long,
00:30:19she'll get a crick in her back and 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.
00:30:53There I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw.
00:30:58I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night.
00:31:03I expected twins, not triplets.
00:31:07In a blizzard?
00:31:08Oh, the little ones pop out whenever they want,
00:31:11regardless of the weather.
00:31:13Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:16Women giving birth are always an emergency.
00:31:20That's the penalty we pay for Eve eating the apple.
00:31:25It 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.
00:31:38Yes, Annie told me you believe it's a boy.
00:31:41Believe nothing.
00:31:42It's a fact.
00:31:44Honestly, Mary, you can't possibly...
00:31:45Actually, I am a little tired.
00:31:47I'm gonna go to bed.
00:31:50I can manage on my own.
00:31:53Good night, all.
00:31:54Good night, Annie.
00:31:55Rest well, dear.
00:31:56Good night, Annie.
00:31:58Good night, Annie.
00:32:02There is no way to tell whether...
00:32:04Well, I think it's time we all settle down.
00:32:06Huh?
00:32:07We'll have a full day tomorrow.
00:32:14Thank you for dinner, Dr. Holmes.
00:32:18Joshua.
00:32:19William told us that you came to her rescue.
00:32:22Our mother and I both appreciate it.
00:32:24It was my pleasure, sir.
00:32:25Thank you again.
00:32:29I'll walk you out.
00:32:34Aren't they the most adorable couple?
00:32:45So tell me, how was Captain Nemo this evening?
00:32:49When I left him, he was exploring the ruins of Atlantis,
00:32:51although I can't say for sure what he does when I'm not looking.
00:32:55I never met a girl who made a book sound so interesting.
00:32:58You can borrow it if you like.
00:32:59No, no, I'm not sure if I'm sold on Nemo just yet.
00:33:03Maybe you could read some of it to me, though.
00:33:05Just so I can find out if it's my kind of story.
00:33:07I could do that.
00:33:09Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:33:11Maybe on Saturday?
00:33:13We can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:33:16I think I know just the place.
00:33:19Lee Owens, you are not spying on our only daughter.
00:33:22I'm not spying on her.
00:33:23I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:24Good night.
00:33:51See what you got there.
00:33:54Well, you're really improving.
00:33:58Thank you, sir.
00:34:00I'm trying my best to impress you.
00:34:02As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:34:07Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you, maybe Lily and I...
00:34:14Do you want permission to court Lily?
00:34:17All right?
00:34:18Yes, sir.
00:34:20Well, I don't want to distract her from her goals.
00:34:22I promise I'll be respectful of her and not get in the way of her school.
00:34:25I know how much she wants to go to college.
00:34:28Well, I don't think about it.
00:34:31All right?
00:34:33I understand.
00:34:35Meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:38Lily wants his order by noon.
00:34:40Yes, sir.
00:34:41You're going to be late opening your clinic.
00:34:44I don't feel comfortable leaving Annie here all alone, and I certainly don't feel comfortable
00:34:49with her being out of bed this much.
00:34:50You know, I wish the two of you wouldn't talk about me as if I wasn't sitting right here.
00:34:55Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:57You must be so frustrated, pooped up inside all the time.
00:35:01I will be here with her all day.
00:35:06You tend to your patience, and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:12If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:17Have a nice day.
00:35:22Praise the Lord, we're free.
00:35:24Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:29We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:34Coming to town.
00:35:44Doc Owens, can I talk to you?
00:35:46Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:50I only have a minute.
00:35:51I left Lloyd at the general store, said I was running to the butcher.
00:35:55What can I do for you, Mabel?
00:35:56Doc, I feel terrible.
00:35:58This sickness, it's just getting worse.
00:36:00I'm dizzy all the time, and I can barely pick up the youngins.
00:36:03That's because your anemia is getting worse.
00:36:04Your body needs iron.
00:36:06You're only going to get sicker.
00:36:07What can I do to make it better?
00:36:09I already told you.
00:36:10Vegetables are the tonic.
00:36:12If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:14I tried to take the tonic.
00:36:16Really, I did.
00:36:17Even started to feel a little stronger.
00:36:18And 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.
00:36:25Really, I am.
00:36:26He was just upset.
00:36:27He didn't mean anything by it.
00:36:29He's a wonderful husband and a father.
00:36:32Maybe.
00:36:32But I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
00:36:39Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:40Your friend Melinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:37:04I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me, but everybody likes me.
00:37:10She isn't happy.
00:37:12She's been trying to have a baby.
00:37:14And Melinda just feels discouraged.
00:37:17Me showing up in my condition and staying till the baby comes.
00:37:21I think it's just another painful reminder.
00:37:23Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:37:27If it's baby trouble she's got, I've surely got the cure.
00:37:32How about a sugary treat?
00:37:37Sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:38It isn't here yet.
00:37:40It's been over a week.
00:37:41You said it'd be here by now.
00:37:43The freight line lost the shipping order.
00:37:45There's nothing I can do about it.
00:37:47There's something I could do if there was another general store within ten miles of here.
00:37:50It'll be here within a week.
00:37:53I'm here, Lloyd.
00:37:57What took you so long?
00:37:58I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:59There was a little bit of a line.
00:38:01There's always an excuse.
00:38:02Let's get out of here.
00:38:03I got fences to mend before sundown.
00:38:12She's just feeling poorly or late.
00:38:18She's got a newborn and five youngins.
00:38:20It says it wears her out.
00:38:22You think a mother doesn't work?
00:38:26I've seen this a bunch during and after pregnancy.
00:38:30This is a severe case of anemia.
00:38:32She don't need coddling, lady.
00:38:34I know how to take care of my wife.
00:38:36No, you don't.
00:38:37You are selfish and rude and contemptuous and you can't see the forest for the trees.
00:38:45Doc Owens is trying to save your wife's life.
00:38:50She's dying.
00:38:52You get her over to the clinic and you beg Doc Owens for more of that tonic.
00:38:58Don't talk to me, Lark.
00:38:59I'll talk to you any way I want.
00:39:02Get her to the clinic.
00:39:07You better pray to the merciful and good Lord that she doesn't slam the door in your ungrateful face.
00:39:16You better pray to the Lord.
00:39:17Amen.
00:39:18Amen.
00:39:18Amen.
00:39:18Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:20Amen.
00:39:21Amen.
00:39:21Amen.
00:39:22Amen.
00:39:22Amen.
00:39:23Amen.
00:39:24Amen.
00:39:25Amen.
00:39:26Amen.
00:39:27Amen.
00:39:28Amen.
00:39:29Amen.
00:39:30Amen.
00:39:31I gave you a double dose, so do not take any more today.
00:39:34No, ma'am.
00:39:35Starting 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.
00:39:41Amen.
00:39:41Amen.
00:39:42Amen.
00:39:43Amen.
00:39:44Amen.
00:39:45Amen.
00:39:46I'd like to apologize.
00:39:47Amen.
00:39:48The last time we spoke I lost my temper.
00:39:51What'll owe you for the tonic?
00:39:53Only that you allow her to keep taking it.
00:39:55You don't need no charity.
00:39:56The first one was already paid for.
00:39:58This is just a replacement.
00:39:59Step up!
00:40:01Step up!
00:40:19Yes, dear.
00:40:21I'm sorry. You're sleeping?
00:40:22Well, not anymore.
00:40:25My apprentice wants to court Lillian.
00:40:29His name is Joshua.
00:40:32I told him I'd think about it.
00:40:35Well, then think.
00:40:38Don't think too long. 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.
00:40:46I was trying to protect her.
00:40:48I don't think she needs protection from Joshua.
00:40:51He's a very nice young man.
00:40:53That's all you have to say about her?
00:40:56Good night, sweetheart.
00:41:02All right.
00:41:05Tomorrow, I'll give Joshua my permission to court Lillian.
00:41:09I 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.
00:41:34May I ask why 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 disagree about how to treat her.
00:41:45This isn't a competition, Mary.
00:41:47If a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia, I wouldn't dream of telling you how to treat them.
00:41:53That's your business.
00:41:55Babies are my business.
00:41:58Have 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.
00:42:20This conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere.
00:42:24So 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.
00:42:32I see this problem a lot.
00:42:34If you want, I could give you some remedies that are guaranteed to work.
00:42:37I know how it's done, Mary.
00:42:39I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
00:42:41So what do you think is the problem?
00:42:43You're too high strung.
00:42:45Folks worry too much about work, family, or whether or not they can have a baby.
00:42:52Then years go by and nothing happens.
00:42:55Then one day, they decide to stop trying.
00:42:57And before you know it, they find they're with child.
00:43:01So your sage advice for me is to relax.
00:43:06Read a book before you go to bed.
00:43:08Take some deep breath.
00:43:11And before you know it, I'll be back to deliver your little one.
00:43:15I'll make sure I try that.
00:43:16Every baby boy needs his own blanket.
00:43:38Don't you agree?
00:43:39Yes, I do.
00:43:40I'm going to head to the shop for a few hours.
00:43:49I'll be back in time for supper.
00:43:51Don't you ever take time off?
00:43:53Oh, the good book says that a man who doesn't work doesn't deserve to eat.
00:43:57I ain't got a lot of work to do.
00:43:58We just thought you'd have more time off once you hired an apprentice.
00:44:01And I do.
00:44:01Now I'm only two weeks behind instead of six.
00:44:03Lillian, you look lovely.
00:44:08Where are you headed off to?
00:44:10Joshua and I are having a picnic.
00:44:11You enjoy yourself.
00:44:13And 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.
00:44:19I promise.
00:44:21Bye, everyone.
00:44:22Bye, dear.
00:44:23Bye, dear.
00:44:23Bye, dear.
00:44:23Bye, dear.
00:44:25Bye, dear.
00:44:27Bye, dear.
00:44:29Bye, dear.
00:44:31Bye, dear.
00:44:33Bye, dear.
00:44:33I 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,
00:44:46for he feels life stirring on all sides.
00:44:49The sea is the only embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence.
00:44:53It is nothing but love and emotion.
00:44:55It is the living infinite, as one of your poets has said.
00:45:00I've been reading for almost two hours.
00:45:02You 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.
00:45:09I swear.
00:45:10It's just, I'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.
00:45:16They might tell the world who he is.
00:45:18Twenty thousand leagues is an allegory.
00:45:19It's about personal freedom.
00:45:21Nemo means nobody in Latin.
00:45:22He'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.
00:45:36Lee?
00:45:37You working today?
00:45:40You work harder than any man I know.
00:45:42Well, 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?
00:45:51This is a lot of rumbling around in my head like a marble.
00:45:54Sometimes it helps to speak it out loud.
00:45:57Talking to yourself only gets the answer you're looking for.
00:46:00I just can't figure Lillian out.
00:46:03I'm trying to be a good father to her.
00:46:06Our children grow up, start spreading their wings.
00:46:10A father has to be aware of that and try to grow with his child.
00:46:15Yeah.
00:46:16Belinda tolerates more than I do.
00:46:18She's a mother.
00:46:19The good Lord gave them the patience of Job when it comes to raising their children.
00:46:23He shortchanged fathers in that area.
00:46:26Yeah.
00:46:28Yeah.
00:46:33I 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.
00:46:45So, if things improve with Lee?
00:46:46Lee, he says he isn't bothered, but I 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.
00:46:57Maybe.
00:46:58You know, I'm starting to think that maybe she regrets marrying me.
00:47:02Now, Lee, that is just plain nonsense.
00:47:05She'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.
00:47:23You know, we're, uh...
00:47:26Trying to have a baby.
00:47:29So far, no luck.
00:47:31You have to have faith.
00:47:32Sometimes it's hard, Ripper.
00:47:36Talk to her about your feelings.
00:47:40I'd best be getting home.
00:47:42Mrs. Davis will give me an earful if I'm late for supper.
00:47:45Yeah, myself included.
00:47:46Well, I see.
00:47:54You didn't need my help putting supper on the table.
00:47:58You're taking anatomy.
00:47:59We just wanted you to be able to rest.
00:48:01I'll rest enough when I'm dead.
00:48:03Give me that knife before you cut yourself.
00:48:06So, do you miss your family?
00:48:15I do.
00:48:16My pa's a farmer back in Pennsylvania.
00:48:18He 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.
00:48:43I mostly grew up in an orphanage until Ma and Pa adopted me when I was ten.
00:48:47I'd spent so long in a room with other kids, I couldn't wait to have a room of my own.
00:48:52Now I miss having someone to talk to.
00:48:54Yeah, me.
00:48:57Do, don't I?
00:49:00So, tell me something.
00:49:03How'd you ever find a place like this, anyway?
00:49:06I stumbled across it by accident while riding one day.
00:49:08And 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.
00:49:18Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape.
00:49:22This reminds me of it.
00:49:25Well, the timber still seems...
00:49:27I wouldn't do that.
00:49:28Oh!
00:49:30Not as sound as you might think.
00:49:34You're probably right.
00:49:36I think it's best we pack up.
00:49:42Well, I'm happy to see you and Mary are getting along.
00:49:44You 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, five years practicing medicine, and you're going to believe that woman's folk magic?
00:50:05It's rubbish, plain and simple.
00:50:07We ask people to believe in things they don't understand, and they do.
00:50:10Because they have trust and faith in us, just like they have faith in the Lord.
00:50:15Okay.
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?
00:50:20Okay.
00:50:22Mary is a lovely woman, but you have to admit, she's a little touch in the head.
00:50:27She doesn't like me any more than I like her.
00:50:29Really?
00:50:31The other day at the general store, Mary 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?
00:50:45Mary unloaded on him like a tornado, spoke up for you, and just plain made him cower.
00:50:54I'm open.
00:50:55Let's go.
00:51:03Do you have any idea what time it is?
00:51:05Hi, Pa.
00:51:07You were supposed to be home for supper.
00:51:09Joshua and I weren't that hungry, so 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.
00:51:14Why are you so angry?
00:51:16I thought I could trust your judgment, but 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, Coyle, 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.
00:51:29That's completely unfair.
00:51:31Joshua's 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.
00:51:38Lil.
00:51:41I was worried about you.
00:51:44Hello, Joshua.
00:52:05Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:52:09Uh, Mr. Owens told me how much trouble I caused the other night.
00:52:14I just wanted to come by and say how sorry I am for keeping Lillian out so late.
00:52:18You needn't place the blame all on yourself.
00:52:20She's old enough to know better.
00:52:22No, I'm still sorry.
00:52:23Ma, I can't find the...
00:52:26bandages.
00:52:27Pa said I can't see you for a while.
00:52:33Pa said you couldn't go out with Joshua.
00:52:35He said nothing about the two of you seeing each other.
00:52:38Thanks, ma.
00:52:42Well, I have work to do.
00:52:45It was nice to see you, Joshua.
00:52:46There's always room open at the dinner table for you.
00:52:49Thank you, ma'am.
00:52:56I'm sorry to get you into trouble.
00:52:58You didn't do anything wrong, and neither did I.
00:53:00I'm a grown woman, and I don't need my pa deciding how late I can and can't stay out.
00:53:04He's just worried about you is all.
00:53:06Well, he doesn't need to be.
00:53:07There's no need to be crossed, Lillian.
00:53:09I mean, I'll still be here when you get off punishment.
00:53:11I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:14I wanted to return this.
00:53:16I finished it.
00:53:17Already?
00:53:18I just gave it to you.
00:53:19Once I got started, it was hard to quit.
00:53:22I mean, the sun was already up when I finally closed the book.
00:53:24So you stayed up all night just to read about Captain Nemo?
00:53:27No.
00:53:28I don't think I would have gotten much sleep with or without him.
00:53:33I'll be thinking about you.
00:53:35Me too.
00:53:39Mary?
00:53:57In here, dear.
00:54:05Annie, should you be up?
00:54:07Where are you going?
00:54:09I've decided to head on home.
00:54:11I can see you're in good hands.
00:54:14You're leaving?
00:54:15Before the baby comes?
00:54:17Oh, you'll do fine.
00:54:20And besides, the last thing you need is an old granny midwife gumming up the works.
00:54:27This doesn't have anything to do with the disagreement between you and Belinda, does it?
00:54:31Oh, no, no, no.
00:54:34Truth is, I'm feeling homesick.
00:54:38I miss sleeping in my own bed.
00:54:41And my patients back home don't have a smart lady doctor to take care of them.
00:54:47If you've made your decision, I can't stop you.
00:54:50I would really love for you to stay, though.
00:54:53I want my family here when the baby comes.
00:54:55Belinda is your family, sweetheart.
00:54:58And Peter will be back with you next week.
00:55:02Besides, all of you will be home before long, and somebody's got to get the house ready.
00:55:10I'm going to go home to check on Annie.
00:55:12I shouldn't be long.
00:55:13If there's an emergency, just send them my way or come running, which you're very good at.
00:55:18I will, Ma.
00:55:19And thank you.
00:55:20For what?
00:55:20For understanding about me and Joshua.
00:55:22Believe it or not, I was your age once.
00:55:37I'm not going to 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.
00:55:46Well, all right, I like your attitude.
00:55:58You're leaving.
00:56:00Time for me to go home.
00:56:01Oh, sorry to hear that.
00:56:03I'm going to 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.
00:56:10And 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!
00:56:20Danny.
00:56:23Lillian told me he was here.
00:56:25Ma's in labor.
00:56:25Okay, there's a horse and buggy in the barn.
00:56:27Help me hook it up.
00:56:28Yes, ma'am.
00:56:31I trust you weren't walking to town along the way.
00:56:35All right, Peach Pie.
00:56:37You get back in the house and stay put.
00:56:40Belinda and I have a baby to deliver.
00:56:42Mrs. 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.
00:56:50But if you do, I'm there.
00:56:56Fine, 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.
00:57:16The first few hours seemed normal, but then it just stopped.
00:57:18What stopped?
00:57:19The contractions?
00:57:19No, Doc, the baby.
00:57:21It's like it's stuck, but I can't see the head.
00:57:22I'll see you to her.
00:57:24Your mama's gonna be fine.
00:57:28It's a fetal dystocia.
00:57:30A what?
00:57:31The baby's shoulder is stuck.
00:57:33What are you fixing to do with that?
00:57:34We have to get the baby out before it suffocates.
00:57:36We start pulling.
00:57:38We could make things worse.
00:57:40What should we do?
00:57:41Well, if you can't get the baby out from the inside,
00:57:45you'd try it from the outside.
00:57:47All right, help me with her now.
00:57:50That's good.
00:57:51What are we doing?
00:57:53We're gonna flatten out her hip bones.
00:57:57Just try to slow down for me.
00:57:59There.
00:57:59Now, we're gonna see if you're stuck and who's not.
00:58:15There.
00:58:15It's gonna be all right.
00:58:36Pa?
00:58:39Pa?
00:58:42Hello, Joshua.
00:58:43Where's my pa?
00:58:47He's on delivery.
00:58:48Then 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.
00:58:55So?
00:58:57Your pa said I could see you there.
00:58:59But I can't escort you.
00:59:02Sorry.
00:59:02Sorry.
00:59:02Joshua.
00:59:19Pa is being so unreasonable.
00:59:24We were late coming home, okay?
00:59:26Don't tell me you're on his side.
00:59:28What's the difference in an hour or so?
00:59:30We got home just fine.
00:59:31He 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.
00:59:42Get out.
00:59:55Get out.
00:59:55Get out.
00:59:57Get out.
00:59:58It'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.
01:00:28Isn't he beautiful?
01:00:30He sure is.
01:00:33He better be.
01:00:35Leave it to a boy to jam up the works.
01:00:49Uh, that's not doctor's work.
01:00:52It doesn't matter who does it, just as long as it gets done.
01:00:58I learned something today that they didn't teach me medical school.
01:01:02Okay.
01:01:28All right.
01:01:46Whoa.
01:01:47Whoa.
01:01:55Whoa.
01:02:00Have you seen Lillian?
01:02:01No, why?
01:02:02Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:02:03She'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.
01:02:11She 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.
01:02:20It's worse this time.
01:02:41I feel like I could faint.
01:02:43Okay, okay.
01:02:43Let's get her inside.
01:02:45It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:48It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:03:18How much further?
01:03:24It's just up ahead.
01:03:33How are you feeling?
01:03:35I'm really not as light 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.
01:03:43Let's do this.
01:03:43Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:04:13Whoa.
01:04:15Was it like this before?
01:04:21No, sir.
01:04:22Looks like there is a cave in.
01:04:24She might be hurt.
01:04:26This is one of her lamps.

01:14:01Target!
01:14:03Yeah!
01:14:08Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:11She's had a seizure.
01:14:12I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete,
01:14:16what's the best way down here?
01:14:18There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:29Dear Lord,
01:14:29please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:36Amen.
01:14:38Amen.
01:14:39Thank you, Lee.
01:14:40You're welcome.
01:14:42Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:43Come on.
01:14:44Peter, he's waiting downstairs.
01:14:59Right.
01:15:01It is Eclipsia.
01:15:04I'm afraid so.
01:15:05Please save my baby.
01:15:10I know what you have to do.
01:15:22I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:24I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:28What did she mean, you know what has to be done?
01:15:40That baby has to come out if we're to save it.
01:15:42Even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:46That baby is ready.
01:15:48She was talking about a cesarean delivery,
01:15:51which I could do at the clinic,
01:15:52but under very crude conditions.
01:15:55Have you ever done one?
01:15:56I did one once at a hospital in Boston,
01:15:58but I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:16:02And there wasn't any clamsy involved.
01:16:04Is there no other choice?
01:16:08Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:16:10Well, then, we'd best get that labor going.
01:16:19What is that?
01:16:21Scotch broom with a little vanilla to help it go down.
01:16:24Women have been using it for centuries.
01:16:26Scotch broom is a weed?
01:16:28A weed the good Lord made.
01:16:30His wonders to perceive.
01:16:33Does it work?
01:16:34Sure as the sunrise.
01:16:36A little of this,
01:16:37and we'll have our baby boy in no time.
01:16:45Is there anything else I can do?
01:16:47A glass of water.
01:17:07Our temperature is slightly raised.
01:17:25But our heartbeat and our breathing are normal.
01:17:28No contractions yet.
01:17:30It doesn't seem to be working.
01:17:32It's never taken this long.
01:17:34Let's just give it a little more time.
01:17:36We could lose Annie and the baby.
01:17:40Do you have everything here that you need
01:17:43to do a cesarean delivery?
01:17:50How about taking a spoonful of that faith
01:17:52you'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.
01:18:01Any news?
01:18:16Nothing yet.
01:18:18I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:20You're doing fine, Annie.
01:18:41Just keep breathing.
01:18:42Contractions closer together.
01:18:49We are going to introduce this baby boy
01:18:51to his new family.
01:18:54It's all right.
01:18:55It's all right.
01:18:56Good job.
01:18:57Keep breathing.
01:18:57Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Congratulations, Uncle Rita.
01:19:24She's so beautiful.
01:19:32I've delivered hundreds of babies,
01:19:34but I've never seen one this perfect.
01:19:38And I'm not just saying that
01:19:40because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:41I thought she was a boy.
01:19:44She carried like a boy.
01:19:47We live and learn, don't we, Doc?
01:19:49We 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.
01:20:13Can I hold her?
01:20:16Come sit.
01:20:18Hey, you got that?
01:20:48I brought you a present.
01:20:51Present?
01:20:53These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:55When I asked you for a few books,
01:20:57I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:21:00The way you went through 20,000 links,
01:21:01I 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?
01:21:12Sure is this one fine day.
01:21:14Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter,
01:21:29I could use a little help in here.
01:21:30I'm coming.
01:21:31I'm coming.
01:21:34Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us
01:21:37and the love which envelops us.
01:21:40May we always strive to walk the way you like
01:21:43and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:46Amen.
01:21:58Hey, are you all right?
01:22:00I'm fine.
01:22:00Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:03I've gotten so used to you being at the house,
01:22:04it's going to be too quiet when we're gone.
01:22:06Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:10I think it's time we go home.
01:22:11I'm going to miss you so very much.
01:22:14And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:21What are you doing out here?
01:22:22Oh, I was just getting some fresh air, talking to Annie.
01:22:25You're going to miss her, aren't you?
01:22:28Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:31Let's enjoy her what we can.
01:22:32Thank you very much, Lee.
01:22:43It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:45And Belinda, I can never thank you enough.
01:22:48Well, I wish I could take all the credit,
01:22:50but I had some expert help.
01:22:53This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:56I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:59Me too.
01:23:00All aboard, folks.
01:23:01We're burning daylight.
01:23:02I think it's about that time.
01:23:05Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:06Of course.
01:23:17Bye, you two.
01:23:19Bye.
01:23:20Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:37All right, take her easy there.
01:23:42Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:47How do I think you're married?
01:23:48Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:50I learned a lot from you.
01:23:54And I from you.
01:23:57I may bring him into the world,
01:23:59but you keep him alive and kicking once they're here.
01:24:03Now, if you ever need a good midwife,
01:24:06you know where to find me.
01:24:07Oh, young man, I'm going to need a hand here.
01:24:24All right.
01:24:26Here we go.
01:24:27Wait a minute.
01:24:28One, two, three.
01:24:29Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:34Well, Commodore, are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:37I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:40Yes, ma'am.
01:24:41Yeah, get up.
01:24:42Where are you and Mary whispering to each other?
01:25:01I was just telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:08You mean?
01:25:09Mm-hmm.
01:25:12Are you sure?
01:25:14I'm a doctor.
01:25:15I know a pregnant woman when I see one,
01:25:17especially when I am one.
01:25:22Hey.
01:25:24We're going to have a baby.
01:25:26Baby?
01:25:28We're going to have a baby.
01:25:32Lillian Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:34Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:36Yes, ma'am.
01:25:39Joshua Coyle, don't just stand there and gawk.
01:25:41You've got a job to do.
01:25:43Yes, ma'am.
01:25:47I've got patients to attend to and baby plans to make.
01:25:53Now, wait up.
01:25:55Now, wait up a bit.
01:25:56How far along are you?
01:26:01Man, I'm serious.
01:26:04Well, we've got to start talking about nature.
01:26:06I mean, I like to leave for a boy.
01:26:08Oh, you think it's going to be a boy?
01:26:09Or, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl.
01:26:12What do you think?
01:26:13Oh, that's very pretty.
01:26:14Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
01:26:16What do you think?
01:26:17All right, I'll hold on.
01:26:18I'll get the door for you.
01:26:19Oh, wait.
01:26:20Oh, my goodness.
01:26:20That's so delicious.
01:26:21What's up?
01:26:22Oh, my goodness.
01:26:22That's so delicious.
