Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I'm not gonna make a fuss over it.
00:00:18I promise.
00:00:19It's not that I don't appreciate you offering to stay with me while Peter's away.
00:00:23You go visit your friend.
00:00:25After the baby comes, there won't be much traveling.
00:00:28Thank you for understanding, Mary.
00:00:30I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I do want to visit Belinda.
00:00:33It takes a lot more than that to hurt this old crow's feelings.
00:00:38But it would hurt my feelings if you delivered my first grandson without me.
00:00:42I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:00:44And I'm counting on you.
00:00:46Keep good thoughts.
00:00:48The baby.
00:00:49We'll see you in a few weeks, Mother.
00:00:50All right, Peter Watson, you drive slowly and easily.
00:00:55And avoid the ruts in the bus.
00:00:57Annie and my grandson do not need to be jostled around like a sack of potatoes.
00:01:03Yes, ma'am.
00:01:06I got it for you, Joe.

00:10:40slow day
00:10:42oh i'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone comes in
00:10:45from getting caught on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder
00:10:49you know when i was traveling through selena last month
00:10:51there was a rash of copperhead snake bites
00:10:53it felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic
00:10:57i haven't had anything as exciting as a snake bite in months
00:11:00you should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve
00:11:03it's our job as doctors to care about even the most minor illness or affliction
00:11:08and our patients deserve and need our compassion
00:11:12that's right out of a textbook

00:13:11no i just
00:13:12and just who would we need permission from
00:13:13go easy on him lilly

00:16:08recently he's been at work more than ever
00:16:11his business is booming

00:16:21oh

00:16:26it's that pain again

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