Short filmTranscript
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.
00:03:26All finished?
00:03:28It'll be two dollars for the doctor and fifty cents for the medicine.
00:03:32I'm sorry your husband doesn't allow me any extra money.
00:03:46I have to use the sock money I've saved up.
00:03:49Why don't we just call it a dollar even?
00:03:53That's very kind of you.
00:03:55Don't mention it, Mrs. McQueen.
00:03:56Can 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.
00:04:05Now you take care of yourself.
00:04:06All right, pal.
00:04:08Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:09I've got you, sir.
00:04:10I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:11That's the perfect child.
00:04:12Here it comes.
00:04:13Easy.
00:04:14Oh!
00:04:15Hey!
00:04:16Come on.
00:04:17Settle down now.
00:04:18Settle.
00:04:19Settle.
00:04:20Hey!
00:04:21Easy now.
00:04:22Oh!
00:04:23Hey!
00:04:24Hey!
00:04:25Hey!
00:04:26Hey!
00:04:27Hey!
00:04:28Hey!
00:04:29Hey!
00:04:30Hey!
00:04:31Hey!
00:04:32Hey!
00:04:33Hey!
00:04:34Hey!
00:04:35Easy now!
00:04:38I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:42Come on.
00:04:55Aunt Annie's here!
00:04:59Aunt Annie!
00:05:00Oh, Lillian, my love!
00:05:02She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:06Sure.
00:05:07She, uh, looks very round.
00:05:09I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:11Oh, let me get that.
00:05:12Oh, it's fine.
00:05:14Everyone treats me like a china doll.
00:05:16I'm not gonna break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:20Me too.
00:05:21I 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 mind at ease, Pete.
00:05:35We're happy to have her.
00:05:36My mother would have stayed with Annie.
00:05:38But I wanted to come visit my best friend and her family before the baby comes.
00:05:42And we're so glad you did.
00:05:44How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:46Broken bones and bee stings.
00:05:48Anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:51The town loves Mom.
00:05:52They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:54Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:58Hmm.
00:05:59Well, how about I start cleaning and Lee?
00:06:01You'll help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:16Hi, Sal.
00:06:19It's good having Annie here.
00:06:21It is.
00:06:23She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:25I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:27Why 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?
00:06:40I'm not pregnant.
00:06:42Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:44We've tried for so long.
00:06:46We have more than we can handle with Lill.
00:06:48Oh, I know, but...
00:06:50It's just that when Annie found out the news,
00:06:55it maybe won a baby of our own even more.
00:07:01Now that she's staying with us.
00:07:04No.
00:07:08We are gonna have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:10Well, all good things come in God's time, and...
00:07:16Maybe we should just let him decide.
00:07:18What if he doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:20Hey.
00:07:30Come on.
00:07:33Let's go help Lill finish the dishes.
00:07:35Hmm?
00:07:48I guess I'd best be leaving now.
00:07:51Peter, 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.
00:07:58I love you too.
00:08:03Bye, ladies.
00:08:04Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:05Will be.
00:08:07Step up!
00:08:17Boy, are you alright?
00:08:18I don't know.
00:08:19Cut!
00:08:20Hold up!
00:08:21No!
00:08:22Oh!
00:08:23Jeez!
00:08:24Oh!
00:08:25Oh!
00:08:26Jeez!
00:08:27Oh!
00:08:28Oh!
00:08:29Oh!
00:08:30Oh!
00:08:31Oh!
00:08:32DJ!
00:08:36Well, it's all right, isn't it?
00:08:38In the bags.
00:08:39Got it.
00:08:40Check on the team, Mike.
00:08:42Welcome home, darling.
00:08:43Welcome home, darling.
00:08:44Oh!
00:08:45You!
00:08:46That was the trip.
00:08:48Yup!
00:08:56You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:08:59Lee Owens.
00:09:00Welcome, Saxton.
00:09:02How's your trip?
00:09:03Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:09:05Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:09:06Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:08Yes, sir.
00:09:09Well, Saxton's a nice little town.
00:09:11I hope you like it.
00:09:12I expect so.
00:09:13Can I help you with your things?
00:09:15I don't have much.
00:09:17All right.
00:09:18Come on.
00:09:19Let me show you the shop.
00:09:20Sounds good.
00:09:23So we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:25Liberty work and rolling stock.
00:09:27Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:31Now, when your blows are even,
00:09:33and you can work a straight piece of metal,
00:09:34those will be your tools.
00:09:36It's hard work.
00:09:37But we managed to make something
00:09:39that lasts a generation or two.
00:09:42Well, 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.
00:09:59How was your walk?
00:10:00Tearing around a 30-pound sack of flour?
00:10:03Slow day?
00:10:04Slow day?
00:10:05Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time
00:10:07before someone comes in from getting caught
00:10:09on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder.
00:10:12You know, when I was traveling through
00:10:13Selina last month,
00:10:14there was a rash of copperhead snake bites.
00:10:16It felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:20I haven't had anything as exciting as a snake bite in months.
00:10:23You should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve.
00:10:26It'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, you know that.
00:10:44What 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.
00:11:03Let me finish some things up and we'll get you on.
00:11:07You know, my Pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:16You always walk?
00:11:17Well, legally I've been riding.
00:11:19You walking to my camp?
00:11:21No.
00:11:22I got a horse to give to Lil Ant.
00:11:25Well, 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.
00:11:38Only harness problem.
00:11:39I stick with wagons.
00:11:40You'd better pour it.
00:11:43I 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 your doctor, Amy.
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 gonna be fine.
00:12:05Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:12That's fine.
00:12:15And you must be Joshua.
00:12:16Welcome to her home.
00:12:17Very nice to meet you, Mrs. 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.
00:12:29It'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, Lil.
00:12:38He just got here.
00:12:39I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:43Apparently not.
00:12:48That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:49We've raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:51You'll get used to it.
00:12:54Oh, now.
00:12:56Let's go get washed up.
00:12:59Smells like my favorite.
00:13:01Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:13:03Indeed.
00:13:04Miss Owens?
00:13:19Mr. Coyle?
00:13:21I just want you to know...
00:13:24I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:27I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:30Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:34I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:36Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:38They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:40A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:42I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:45I swear.
00:13:47It's just...
00:13:48Well...
00:13:49I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:52I'm apologizing.
00:13:53I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:56Apology accepted.
00:14:01Well, I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:02Well, 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, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:33Nice young man.
00:14:34I hadn't noticed.
00:14:38Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:39Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:41Good night, Pa.
00:14:56Come in.
00:15:00How are you?
00:15:01I feel so...
00:15:02I feel so...
00:15:13All right?
00:15:15I can't get...
00:15:18Can I help?
00:15:20Can we just let some go?
00:15:22Just...
00:15:24I think they lose suit, isn't it?
00:15:26It's your game.
00:15:29It says it's fun.
00:15:32It's in the east, Beth.
00:15:34It says this is...
00:15:36It's not him.
00:15:37What is...
00:15:49It's nice again.
00:16:00It's nice, baby.
00:16:07It's nice.
00:16:37It's nice.
00:17:07It's nice.
00:17:08It's nice.
00:17:10It's nice.
00:17:11It's nice.
00:17:12No.
00:17:13She'll never have a seizure.
00:17:18It's nice.
00:17:20It's nice.
00:17:22It's nice.
00:17:23It's nice.
00:17:24Did she have a seizure?
00:17:26No, but she has all the other symptoms.
00:17:28Well, I'll telegraph Peter first thing in the morning.
00:17:31Tell him what's happened.
00:17:33And let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:17:37Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:38Well, Amanda, I'll wire his mother.
00:17:40You said she lives in Spartan.
00:17:47Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:49Total rest for you, Mrs. Watson, and a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:54To being lazy, you mean.
00:17:56I cannot just lay around all day.
00:17:58I'm a doctor, remember?
00:17:59But I am your doctor, and this is my home.
00:18:01And if it is enclampsia, you know bed rest is called for.
00:18:04Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:06Perhaps.
00:18:07But if not, I won't be sorry later.
00:18:10I love you.
00:18:12I love you, too.
00:18:21Prepare for my peach.
00:18:24Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with Aunt Annie?
00:18:27No.
00:18:28You just run along to school.
00:18:29I'll post a note on the clinic, and if someone really needs me, they know where to find me.
00:18:34Morning, ladies.
00:18:35Morning.
00:18:37Bye, Ma.
00:18:38Have a good day, darling.
00:18:39Bye, Ma.
00:18:40Bye.
00:18:41That girl kicks up a cloud of dust everywhere she goes.
00:18:45Here you go.
00:18:47Is this your way of telling me not to come home for supper?
00:18:51The other one is for Joshua.
00:18:53A young man just starting off looked like he could use a few more good meals.
00:18:56Do you have any idea how much I love you?
00:18:58Well, it never hurts to hear.
00:19:00I love you, too, Lee Owens.
00:19:01Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:19:02All right.
00:19:03Have a good day, sweet darling.
00:19:04I love you, too, Lee Owens.
00:19:05Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:19:07All right.
00:19:08Have a good day, sweet darling.
00:19:11Belinda feels Annie's health as well as the baby's is better served staying here until
00:19:27after the delivery.
00:19:28I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:31Lee Owens.
00:19:32Well, that's what I said.
00:19:43Taco.
00:19:44It's for Queen.
00:19:45Sorry, we're closed today, but if you'd like to make an appointment.
00:19:48Were you the one that gave Mabel this tonic?
00:19:50Yes, it's iron for her anemia.
00:19:52Why you got to go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:55What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:57Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:19:59Give her that medicine.
00:20:00I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:02A doctor killed my sister with tonic.
00:20:05I don't know the details of your sister's death, but there's no magic to it.
00:20:10Your wife had a baby a month ago, and she has a very serious medical condition.
00:20:14Maybe if you weren't so hard-headed, you would realize that.
00:20:17Now, my advice...
00:20:18I don't need your mouth nor your advice, and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:22Doctors aren't worth a...
00:20:23Putin holler!
00:20:24Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:25Yes, I'm just frustrated at a very stubborn and hard-headed man.
00:20:26Lloyd McQueen is truly set in his ways, but 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 and lose sight of the compassion we should have for others?
00:20:47There I go preaching again.
00:20:50Oh, it's all right.
00:20:51I suppose I needed to hear it.
00:20:53I'll see you in church, Belinda.
00:20:55Good day.
00:20:56Good day.
00:20:57Good day.
00:20:58Good day.
00:20:59Good day.
00:21:00Good day.
00:21:01Good day.
00:21:02Good day.
00:21:03Good day.
00:21:04Good day.
00:21:05You know what?
00:21:06That's it.
00:21:08Steady blows.
00:21:09All right.
00:21:11Good day.
00:21:13Good day.
00:21:15Good day.
00:21:16Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:18Almost running the family.
00:21:20I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence, but she was adopted.
00:21:26Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:28Really?
00:21:28I never would have known.
00:21:31I mean, she and Mrs. I mean, Dr. Owen 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.
00:21:50I'm truthfully not that hungry.
00:21:58Doctor's orders.
00:22:00Even if you don't feel up to it, you need to finish the entire bowl.
00:22:03I'm not a child, Belinda.
00:22:05And I'm a doctor. I think I know what's best for me.
00:22:07Knowing and doing are two entirely different things.
00:22:12Is 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 him move since the contractions yesterday.
00:22:21You just said it was he?
00:22:24How do you know it's a boy?
00:22:26I know it sounds silly, but Mary thinks because I'm caring so low that it'll be a boy.
00:22:30It is silly. That's an old wife's tale.
00:22:33There's no medical merit to it.
00:22:35Say what you want, but when Peter's sister was pregnant,
00:22:37Mary was concerned because she was caring so far out in front.
00:22:40She said it would be a breached birth, and she was right.
00:22:43One lucky guess, and she's got you believing made-up stories.
00:22:46Oh, goodness, he's getting his exercise today.
00:22:50Do you want to feel?
00:22:51That's all right.
00:22:53Come on, Belinda.
00:22:54Don't be nervous.
00:22:58It's so strange.
00:23:00I never thought I'd be a mother.
00:23:03It suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world.
00:23:05I'm sorry.
00:23:11I've opened that wound, haven't I?
00:23:14Maybe we shouldn't talk about it.
00:23:16You know, I know so many women that have gotten pregnant without even trying.
00:23:20And Lee and I have been trying.
00:23:22We've both seen it take some time.
00:23:24You just can't get impatient with yourself.
00:23:27I look after this one woman, Mabel McQueen.
00:23:30She'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.
00:23:50I was wondering where you'd run off to.
00:24:12I just looked in on Annie.
00:24:13She's out for the night.
00:24:15She 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.
00:24:27I suppose it's why we're such good friends.
00:24:31I noticed you didn't have Joshua over for supper tonight.
00:24:35I'm pretty sure he's sweet on Lil.
00:24:38I don't want the two of them spending too much time together.
00:24:41Why not?
00:24:42He's only a couple years older.
00:24:43Doc, 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 to stand in their way.
00:25:07Besides, telling Lillian she can't have some things.
00:25:10It's like daring to try to stop her.
00:25:16I get your point.
00:25:18I don't want to get in the way of her happiness.
00:25:20Still, you lived a small town to follow your dream.
00:25:25And 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.
00:25:31I hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has.
00:25:39It's getting a little chilly.
00:25:42Want to turn in for the night?
00:25:43You go ahead.
00:25:44I'll be up in a little while.
00:25:45Don'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.
00:26:12I think not.
00:26:16I don't want to be late for school.
00:26:18I can teach you more than any school can.
00:26:20Excuse me.
00:26:23You mind letting the young lady pass?
00:26:24This ain't none of your affairs, sod buster.
00:26:26Ah, but it is.
00:26:28It ain't.
00:26:34Knock your head off, boy.
00:26:36Now 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.
00:26:41So after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:42That was the second cheek.
00:26:51You're breaking my wrist.
00:26:52Well, I understand there's a fine doctor in town.
00:26:54Please don't.
00:26:55Please don't break.
00:26:56I trust I'll never see you around Miss Owens again.
00:26:58No, never.
00:26:59Good.
00:27:01Now get.
00:27:01Good morning, Miss Owens.
00:27:14You on your way to school?
00:27:15Indeed I am.
00:27:18May I walk with you?
00:27:18I did the best I could, Jim.
00:27:28But you better go easy on it, all right?
00:27:30Your boss strikes me as a hard-working man.
00:27:45He lives and breathes work.
00:27:47Ma says sometimes he rolls over to sleep and tries to use your arms like a set of tongs.
00:27:50I guess that's the future I have to look forward to.
00:27:54Not such a bad life, really.
00:27:59So what about you?
00:28:01You're a doctor like your ma?
00:28:03I don't know.
00:28:04I haven't decided.
00:28:06Maybe I want to be a lawyer or a famous writer like Harriet Beecher Stowe.
00:28:10One thing for sure, I want to go to college.
00:28:12Well, I better get to work.
00:28:15Have a nice day, Joshua.
00:28:18You too, Lily.
00:28:22Yeah, I heard her.
00:28:29I don't think you should be climbing the stairs.
00:28:32But I feel fine.
00:28:33What's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day.
00:28:37But it's only been three days since you had pain and felt faint.
00:28:39You know the symptoms and treatment as well as I do.
00:28:42That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:48Is that singing?
00:28:50I would know that voice anywhere.
00:28:52That's Mary.
00:28:53Your mother-in-law?
00:28:54What reason does she have to be here?
00:28:56Mary doesn't need a reason to do anything.
00:28:58Well, this must be it.
00:29:14Oh, Jesus.
00:29:15Thank you, my good man.
00:29:17And you have a blessed day.
00:29:20And you must be the infamous Doc Owen.
00:29:25Oh, infamous.
00:29:27Mary Watson.
00:29:28Oh, do you know that already?
00:29:30What?
00:29:31Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:33Oh, would you be a dear and bring my things along?
00:29:36Mm-hmm.
00:29:37Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:44Where else would you expect me to be, oh, my little lamb?
00:29:48What?
00:29:48But didn't you get the telegraph from Belinda's husband?
00:29:50I did.
00:29:51That's why I'm here.
00:29:52I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend.
00:29:55But 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.
00:30:05Oh, please don't do that.
00:30:07What?
00:30:08She's not a mushroom.
00:30:09She 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, she'll get a crick in her back and it'll make delivery
00:30:22much more painful.
00:30:23I think it's better that she's on bed rest for the remainder of her term.
00:30:26It's not going to hurt her to sit up.
00:30:29When you've delivered as many babies as I have, you learn a few things.
00:30:33Well, I've been to medical school for years and rest is the proper treatment.
00:30:37You don't learn everything in medical school.
00:30:40That is a matter of opinion and I wholeheartedly disagree.
00:30:43Ladies, I'm not a sack of flour.
00:30:45There 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, regardless 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.
00:31:31If you let that little fella start running your life now, you'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 cause...
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.
00:31:57Good night, Annie.
00:31:58Good night, Annie.
00:32:01There 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, William told us that you came to her rescue.
00:32:22Our mother and I both appreciate it.
00:32:23It was my pleasure, sir.
00:32:25Thank you again.
00:32:29I'll walk you out.
00:32:31Aren't they the most adorable couple?
00:32:45So tell me, how was Captain Nemo this evening?
00:32:49When I left him, he was exploring the ruins of Atlantis, although I can't say for sure what he does when I'm not looking.
00:32:54I 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.
00:33:02Maybe 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?
00:33:12We 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.
00:33:21I'm not spying on her.
00:33:23I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:38I'm high delivery.
00:33:40Way too expensive.
00:33:45Oh, I need the daughter to piss.
00:33:47See what you got there.
00:33:54Well, you're, uh, really improving.
00:33:58Thank you, sir.
00:34:00Trying my best to impress you.
00:34:02As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:34:04Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you, maybe, uh, Lillian and that.
00:34:14You want permission to court Lillian, right?
00:34:18Yes, sir.
00:34:20Well, I don't want her to distract her from her goals.
00:34:23I 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'll think about it, all right?
00:34:32I understand.
00:34:35Meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:38Lillian wants his order by noon.
00:34:40Yes, sir.
00:34:42You're gonna be late opening your clinic.
00:34:44I don't feel comfortable leaving Annie here all alone,
00:34:47and I certainly don't feel comfortable with 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.
00:34:54Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:57You must be so frustrated, pooped up inside all the time.
00:35:02I will be here with her all day.
00:35:06You tend to your patience, and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:12If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:17Have a nice day.
00:35:18Praise the Lord, we're free.
00:35:26Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:28We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:33Coming to town.
00:35:43Doc Olenst, can I talk to you?
00:35:46Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:48I only have a minute.
00:35:52I left Lloyd at the general store.
00:35:53Said 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.
00:36:02That's because your anemia is getting worse.
00:36:04Your body needs iron.
00:36:06You're only gonna get sicker.
00:36:07What can I do to make it better?
00:36:09I already told you.
00:36:10Vegetables are the tonic.
00:36:11If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:14I tried to take the tonic.
00:36:16Really, I did.
00:36:16It even started to feel a little stronger.
00:36:19And then Lloyd found it, and you know the rest.
00:36:22I certainly do.
00:36:23He threw a bottle at me.
00:36:24I'm sorry for that.
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.
00:36:34I'm sorry for that.
00:36:52your friend Belinda doesn't seem too happy I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me but
00:37:07everybody likes me she isn't happy she's been trying to have a baby and Belinda just feels
00:37:15discouraged me showing up in my condition and staying till the baby comes I think it's just
00:37:22another painful reminder why didn't you say something sooner if it's baby trouble she's got

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
00:40:50he's a very nice young man
00:40:53that's all you have to say about it
00:40:55good night sweetheart
00:40:58all right
00:41:04tomorrow I'll give Joshua my permission to court Lillian
00:41:09I don't think I don't know about your little excursion with Annie
00:41:24this town is filled with gossips
00:41:26can't keep a secret for more than five minutes
00:41:28it's a pretty little town Sykeston
00:41:30I can see why you like it here
00:41:32may I ask
00:41:35why you feel the need to go against every instruction I have for Annie
00:41:38I don't deliberately go against your word
00:41:41we just
00:41:42disagree about how to treat her
00:41:45this isn't a competition Mary
00:41:46if a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia
00:41:50I wouldn't dream of telling you how to treat them
00:41:52that's your business
00:41:54babies are my business
00:41:57have been for 30 years
00:41:59it's just there's been so many new advancements
00:42:01sometimes the old ways are best
00:42:04Annie may have a serious condition
00:42:06which could be fatal to both her and the baby
00:42:08are you sure?
00:42:09of course I'm not sure
00:42:10but I'm not taking any chances
00:42:12so it's true what they say
00:42:14that doctors only practice medicine
00:42:17this conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere
00:42:22so Annie tells me you're barren
00:42:26or having trouble anyway
00:42:29I don't think that's any of your concern
00:42:31I see this problem a lot
00:42:33if you want I could give you some remedies that are guaranteed to work
00:42:37I know how it's done Mary
00:42:38I 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
00:42:44folks worry too much about work
00:42:48family or whether or not they can have a baby
00:42:51then years go by and nothing happens
00:42:54then one day they decide to stop trying
00:42:57and before you know it
00:42:59they find they're with child
00:43:01so your sage advice for me is to relax
00:43:05read a book before you go to bed
00:43:07take some deep breath
00:43:10and before you know it
00:43:12I'll be back to deliver your little one
00:43:14I'll make sure I try that
00:43:35every baby boy needs his own blanket
00:43:38don't you agree?
00:43:39yes I do
00:43:40I'm gonna head to the shop for a few hours
00:43:49I'll be back in time for supper
00:43:50don't you ever take time off?
00:43:53oh the good book says that a man who doesn't work
00:43:55doesn't deserve to eat
00:43:56I ain't got a lot of work to do
00:43:58we just thought you'd have more time off
00:43:59once you hired an apprentice
00:44:00and I do now 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
00:44:17no exceptions
00:44:18I will I promise
00:44:19bye everyone
00:44:22bye dear
00:44:33I love it
00:44:38the sea is everything
00:44:39it covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe
00:44:41its breath is pure and healthy
00:44:43it is an immense desert
00:44:45where man is never lonely
00:44:46for he feels life stirring on all sides
00:44:48this sea is the only embodiment
00:44:50of the supernatural and wonderful existence
00:44:52it is nothing but love and emotion
00:44:55it is the living infinite
00:44:56as one of your poets has said
00:44:58I've been reading for almost two hours
00:45:02you must be bored
00:45:02I don't think I can ever get bored
00:45:05listening to you talk
00:45:06you're just saying that
00:45:07no
00:45:08I'm not
00:45:09I swear
00:45:09it's just
00:45:10I'd like this Captain Nemo
00:45:12if he weren't holding his friends hostage all the time
00:45:14I can't let them go
00:45:15and they might tell the world who he is
00:45:17twenty thousand leagues is an allegory
00:45:19it's about personal freedom
00:45:20Nemo means nobody in Latin
00:45:22and he's invisible to the world
00:45:24and wants to keep it that way
00:45:25you're brilliant
00:45:26you know that?
00:45:27I am brilliant
00:45:28Lee?
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
00:45:53sometimes it helps to speak it out loud
00:45:56talking to yourself only gets the answer you're looking for
00:45:59I just can't figure Lillian out
00:46:01I'm trying to be a good father to her
00:46:05our children grow up
00:46:07start spreading their wings
00:46:09the father has to be aware of that
00:46:12and try to grow with his child
00:46:14yeah
00:46:15Belinda tolerates more than I do
00:46:17she's a mother
00:46:18the good Lord gave them the patience of Job
00:46:21when it comes to raising their children
00:46:22he shortchanged fathers in that area
00:46:25yeah
00:46:27yeah
00:46:28I really wish you would get some rest
00:46:35I feel fine
00:46:37looks like someone may have been wrong about my condition
00:46:41perhaps
00:46:41so if things improve with Lee?
00:46:46he says he isn't bothered but
00:46:48I still sense that he's disappointed we can't have a baby
00:46:52well
00:46:52maybe you're just being overly sensitive and you think that he's disappointed
00:46:56maybe
00:46:57you know I'm starting to think that maybe she regrets marrying me
00:47:01now Lee
00:47:02that is just plain nonsense
00:47:05she's proud as a peacock that she married you
00:47:07maybe
00:47:08have you spoken to her about it?
00:47:11yeah roundabout way
00:47:12of course she says I'm wrong
00:47:14still she seems kind of distant lately
00:47:17she's got something on her mind
00:47:19most women do when they get like that
00:47:22hmm
00:47:23you know we're uh
00:47:24trying to have a baby
00:47:27so far no luck
00:47:30you have to have faith
00:47:32sometimes it's hard, River
00:47:34talk to her about your feelings
00:47:38I'd best be getting home
00:47:41Mrs. Davis will give me an earful if I'm late for supper
00:47:44and myself included
00:47:45well I see
00:47:54you didn't need my help putting supper on the table
00:47:57you were taking a nap
00:47:58we just wanted you to be able to rest
00:48:00I'll rest enough when I'm dead
00:48:02give me that knife before you
00:48:05cut yourself
00:48:06so do you miss your family?
00:48:14I do
00:48:15my pa's a farmer back in Pennsylvania
00:48:18you wanted more from me than to spend my entire life plowing fields
00:48:21so I said if I got good enough maybe I can find some work in Philadelphia
00:48:25sounds like he cares about you a lot
00:48:28yeah my family's pretty close
00:48:30it's kind of strange though
00:48:32you know being out here all by myself
00:48:35I have three sisters and two brothers and not a moment of peace
00:48:38back at the boarding house I got nothing but quiet
00:48:40I know what you mean
00:48:42I mostly grew up in an orphanage until ma and pa adopted me when I was ten
00:48:46I'd spent so long in a room with other kids I couldn't wait to have a room of my own
00:48:50now I miss having someone to talk to
00:48:53you have me
00:48:55I do don't I
00:48:58so tell me something
00:49:01how'd you ever find a place like this anyway?
00:49:05I stumbled across it by accident while riding one day
00:49:08but it's so far off the main roads no one really comes out here
00:49:11so
00:49:11I brought some of my old stuff and
00:49:14now it's where I come to be alone
00:49:16I can see why
00:49:18Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape
00:49:21this reminds me of it
00:49:23well the timber still seems
00:49:26I wouldn't do that
00:49:27oh
00:49:28not as sound as you might think
00:49:33you're probably right
00:49:35I think it's best we pack up
00:49:38well I'm happy to see you and Mary are getting along
00:49:44you know her fertility advice to me was to relax and read a book before bed
00:49:51did you try it?
00:49:53of course not
00:49:54she's been doing this longer than we've been alive
00:49:56I can't believe you Annie Watson
00:49:58you've spent three years in medical school
00:50:01five years practicing medicine
00:50:03and you're gonna 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
00:50:09and they do because they have trust and faith in us
00:50:13just like they have faith in the Lord
00:50:15okay it 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
00:50:21Mary is a lovely woman
00:50:23but you have to admit she's a little touched on the head
00:50:26she doesn't like me any more than I like her
00:50:29really?
00:50:30the other day at the general store
00:50:32Mary defended you to the ends of the earth
00:50:34what 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
00:50:42that's why Lloyd McQueen brought his wife back to me?
00:50:46Mary unloaded on him like a tornado
00:50:47spoke up for you and just plain made him cower
00:50:50come on
00:50:54let's go
00:50:55thank you
00:50:59do you have any idea what time it is?
00:51:05hi pa
00:51:06you were supposed to be home for supper
00:51:08Joshua and I weren't that hungry
00:51:10so 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
00:51:17but apparently I was wrong
00:51:19what's that supposed to mean?
00:51:20it means you can't spend any more time with Joshua Coil
00:51:22until I say so
00:51:23you'll go to school
00:51:24help your mother at the clinic
00:51:25and come straight home
00:51:26for 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
00:51:33and no one tells him what to do
00:51:34no one said the world was fair, young lady
00:51:36I was worried about you
00:51:42hello Joshua
00:51:51good afternoon man
00:52:08uh Mr. Owens told me how much trouble I caused the other night
00:52:13I 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
00:52:21no I'm still sorry
00:52:23ma I can't find the
00:52:24bandages
00:52:27pa said I can't see you for a while
00:52:32pa said you couldn't go out with Joshua
00:52:35he said nothing about the two of you seeing each other
00:52:37thanks ma
00:52:39well I have work to do
00:52:44it 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
00:52:51sorry to get you into trouble
00:52:57you didn't do anything wrong and neither did I
00:52:59I'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
00:53:08I mean I'll still be here when you get off punishment
00:53:11I'm not going anywhere
00:53:12I wanted to return this
00:53:15I finished it
00:53:16already?
00:53:17I just gave it to you
00:53:19once I got started it was hard to quit
00:53:21I 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?
00:53:27well
00:53:27I don't think I would have gotten much sleep with or without him
00:53:30I'll be thinking about you
00:53:34me too
00:53:35Mary?
00:53:56in here dear
00:53:58Annie should you be up?
00:54:06where are you going?
00:54:09I've decided to head on home
00:54:11I can see you're in good hands
00:54:13you're leaving?
00:54:15before the baby comes?
00:54:17oh you'll do fine
00:54:19and besides
00:54:21the last thing you need is an old granny midwife
00:54:25gumming up the works
00:54:26this doesn't have anything to do with the disagreement between you and Belinda does it?
00:54:31oh no
00:54:32no
00:54:32no
00:54:33truth is
00:54:35I'm feeling homesick
00:54:37I miss sleeping in my own bed
00:54:40and
00:54:42my patients back home
00:54:44don't have a smart lady doctor to take care of them
00:54:47if you've made your decision I can't stop you
00:54:49I would really love for you to stay though
00:54:52I 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

00:56:02I'm going to see her off into town
00:56:04Annie I just don't think it's a good idea for you to be carrying luggage and walking into town
00:56:08it was my idea Belinda
00:56:10and I've been all over this whole territory through my entire pregnancy
00:56:13I think I can handle a short walk into town
00:56:15Doc Owens

00:59:58It's a beautiful baby boy, and your wife is fine.
01:00:14Can I see them?
01:00:15Shortly.
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.
01:00:59I learned something today that they didn't teach me medical school.
01:01:02I'm not kidding.
01:01:28All right.
01:01:46Whoa.
01:01:47Whoa.
01:01:55Whoa.
01:01:59You 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.
01:02:16She gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:19I think I know where she is.
01:02:28Come on.
01:02:28It's worse this time.
01:02:41I feel like I could faint.
01:02:42Okay, okay.
01:02:43Let's get her inside.
01:02:45It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:47It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:03:17How much further?
01:03:23It's just up ahead.
01:03:32How are you feeling?
01:03:34I'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.
01:03:42I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:43I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:44I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:45I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:46I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:47I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:48I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:49I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:50I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:51I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:52I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:53I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:54I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:55I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:56I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:57I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:58I'm really not as light as it is.
01:03:59I'm really not as light as it is.
01:04:00Was it like this before?
01:04:21No, sir.
01:04:22Looks like there is a cave-in.
01:04:24She might be hurt.
01:04:27This is one of her lamps.
01:04:28Come on.
01:04:29Let's go.
01:04:30Lil!
01:04:32Lil!
01:04:41It's right up there.
01:04:43It's here.
01:04:46Lil!
01:04:49Lil.
01:04:51Give me a hand with this.
01:04:52One, two, three.
01:04:58You got it?
01:04:59I got it.
01:05:02Lil.
01:05:04Come on.
01:05:04Talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:12Pa?
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:14I'm here, Ronnie.
01:05:17Just take it easy.
01:05:18Just stay down, all right?
01:05:19I'm going to get you out of here.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:24Come on.
01:05:33How's Lillian?
01:05:47A few got some bruises, but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:55She's out for the night.
01:05:57Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:05:59Give her a couple of days.
01:06:01She'll be right as rain.
01:06:02At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:06:06Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:06:09Ah.
01:06:09This, too, shall pass.
01:06:14Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:17True miracles.
01:06:19Are you still fretting about the baby-making?
01:06:21I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:24Give it up if you want.
01:06:27But I'm telling you, the shine in your hair is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:34You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:36It doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:38It only matters what you believe.
01:06:39What do you mean?
01:06:40Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:45It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:47I'm sorry I doubted you.
01:06:52You didn't deserve it.
01:06:54The Lord says we are to forgive if we expect to be forgiven.
01:07:00Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning and all is forgiven.
01:07:05That's a promise.
01:07:15Late night tonight.
01:07:16Everyone's worn out.
01:07:19A little sleeping like a pope.
01:07:27You know, I think I might read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:34Really?
01:07:34You never read in bed.
01:07:37I think it'll do me good.
01:07:39Help me unwind after the long day we've all had.
01:07:41Mm.
01:07:46Doc.
01:07:50I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:53Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:57And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage.
01:08:00You need a good home.
01:08:01You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of our home?
01:08:04I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:08Always have been.
01:08:09Always will be.
01:08:13Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:14Yeah.
01:08:19Yeah, I like the sunrise.
01:08:25I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:28I love you too.
01:08:30Good night.
01:08:31Oh, all right.
01:08:33You can read your book now.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:37All right.
01:08:40I'll just go to sleep.
01:08:47Sure I can't help you read it or no?
01:08:50All right.
01:08:51All right.
01:08:51Shouldn't you be in bed?
01:09:03My ball and chain let me come downstairs.
01:09:06She has her mind set on going to the ice cream social.
01:09:09What if I find a shady, comfortable place to just sit and eat ice cream?
01:09:13You are not going to the social.
01:09:16I am a doctor.
01:09:17I vote yes.
01:09:17Well, that's one vote for Dr. Annie and one vote for the midwife.
01:09:22I guess you've got the tie-breaking vote, Doc.
01:09:28I'm sorry, Annie.
01:09:29I'm going to have to side with the midwife.
01:09:31But I love ice cream.
01:09:32Then I'll send you some.
01:09:33It's not the same.
01:09:35How do I know you're not going to sneak out when we're gone?
01:09:37Don't give it a second thought, Doc.
01:09:39This old ball and chain will be sitting right here like a prison warden.
01:09:44You're both against me.
01:09:45That's right.
01:09:46Read your book and pout.
01:09:47Don't you look beautiful?
01:10:02Except for this.
01:10:04I don't know one will even notice that.
01:10:06Even Joshua.
01:10:07Especially Joshua.
01:10:09Thanks for telling Joshua you can escort me to the social.
01:10:12You're still coming with your mother and I, right?
01:10:14I told him I wanted to walk in with my family and see him from afar.
01:10:17That's very romantic.
01:10:19Must be from all the books I read.
01:10:22Pa.
01:10:24I'm sorry for not making curfew the other night.
01:10:28Well, no, you were just worried about me.
01:10:29Don't worry about it.
01:10:32You're growing up so fast sometimes I can't keep up with you.
01:10:36Thanks, Pa.
01:10:37Come here.
01:10:37And then he stepped like this.
01:10:53Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:11:05No, thank you.
01:11:06No, thank you, Joshua.
01:11:13Hey, partner.
01:11:15How's your ice cream?
01:11:16Doc Owens, can we talk?
01:11:19Boyd, do you know my husband Lee?
01:11:23Boyd, I want to thank you.
01:11:26Mabel's as different as night and day.
01:11:28It's all I can do to keep up with her.
01:11:30Well, you do look like a brand new person.
01:11:32I've had a lot more energy.
01:11:33I still need some extra sleep in the afternoons.
01:11:35I'm getting stronger every day.
01:11:37Well, the best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed to receive with a joyful spirit.
01:11:41It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:45Well, I, uh, mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:51Thanks again, Doc.
01:11:52It was my pleasure.
01:11:54And I should be the one to apologize to you, Mabel.
01:11:58I had no right to be cross with you when you needed my help.
01:12:01I hope you can forgive me.
01:12:02There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:05Thank you, Joshua.
01:12:07Have a good day.
01:12:11Wow, that was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:16You'd like some ice cream?
01:12:18I'd love some.
01:12:37I got Lee's telegram.
01:12:38Where's Annie?
01:12:39The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:42Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:43I need Belinda now.
01:12:45I want to see Annie.
01:12:47Get Belinda now.
01:12:53You look beautiful.
01:12:55So you're handsome.
01:12:59I still can't believe it.
01:13:00Can't believe what?
01:13:03That I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:08It's very sweet of you to say, Joshua.
01:13:10Oh, I see, Shannon.
01:13:14Oh, dear.
01:13:18Oh, dear.
01:13:20There you go.
01:13:21Yeah.
01:13:22Oh, dear.
01:13:22Lillian's got a boyfriend. Lillian's got a boyfriend. Lillian's got a boyfriend. Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:30Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:41Melinda! Stop going! I need you!
01:13:45Whoa! Whoa!
01:13:48What's that?
01:13:50Belinda!
01:13:51Peter.
01:13:52It's Annie.
01:13:53You gotta come quick.
01:13:54Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:13:58Yah!
01:13:59Yah!
01:14:00Yah!
01:14:01Yah!
01:14:02Yah!
01:14:07Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:10She's had a seizure.
01:14:11I've got her in bed.
01:14:13Pete, what's the best way down here?
01:14:17There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:20Dear Lord, please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:36Amen.
01:14:37Amen.
01:14:38Thank you, Lee.
01:14:40You're welcome.
01:14:41Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:43Peter.
01:14:44Peter.
01:14:45He's waiting downstairs.
01:14:46Right.
01:14:47It is eclipsia.
01:14:48I'm afraid so.
01:14:49Please save my baby.
01:14:50You know what you have to do.
01:14:54Peter.
01:14:57He's waiting downstairs.
01:15:00Right.
01:15:03It is Eclipsia.
01:15:04I'm afraid so.
01:15:08Please save my baby.
01:15:11I know what you have to do.
01:15:22I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:24What did she mean?
01:15:38You know what has to be done.
01:15:40That baby has to come out if we're to save it.
01:15:43Even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:45That baby is ready.
01:15:47She was talking about a cesarean delivery.
01:15:50Which 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.
01:15:59But I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:16:02And there wasn't a clams hand vault.
01:16:04Is there no other choice?
01:16:07Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:16:10Well then.
01:16:11We best get that labor going.
01:16:14What is that?
01:16:20Scotch 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?
01:16:27A weed the good lord made.
01:16:30His wonders to perceive.
01:16:32Doesn't work.
01:16:33Sure as the sunrise.
01:16:34A little of this.
01:16:36And we'll have our baby boy in no time.
01:16:45Is there anything else I can do?
01:16:47A glass of water.
01:16:48A glass of water.
01:16:48A glass of water.
01:16:48A glass of water.
01:16:49A glass of water.
01:16:50A glass of water.
01:16:51A glass of water.
01:16:51A glass of water.
01:16:52A glass of water.
01:16:52A glass of water.
01:16:53A glass of water.
01:16:53A glass of water.
01:16:54A glass of water.
01:16:54A glass of water.
01:16:55A glass of water.
01:16:55A glass of water.
01:16:56A glass of water.
01:16:57A glass of water.
01:16:58A glass of water.
01:16:59A glass of water.
01:17:00A glass of water.
01:17:01A glass of water.
01:17:02A glass of water.
01:17:03A glass of water.
01:17:04A glass of water.
01:17:05A glass of water.
01:17:06A glass of water.
01:17:07A glass of water.
01:17:08A glass of water.
01:17:09A glass of water.
01:17:10A glass of water.
01:17:11A glass of water.
01:17:12A glass of water.
01:17:13Her temperature is slightly raised, but her heart beat and her 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.
01:17:39Annie, do you have everything here that you need to do a cesarean delivery?
01:17:49How about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:56I'm going to make some tea.
01:17:58Do you like a cup?
01:18:00No, thank you.
01:18:09Any 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.
01:18:47Contractions closer together.
01:18:48We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family.
01:18:53It's all right.
01:18:54It's all right.
01:18:56Keep breathing.
01:18:57Good.
01:18:57Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Help!
01:19:00Help!
01:19:22Congratulations Uncle Rita!
01:19:28She's so beautiful.
01:19:32I've delivered hundreds of babies,
01:19:34but I've never seen one this...
01:19:36perfect.
01:19:38And I'm not just saying that because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:40I thought she was a boy.
01:19:44She carried like a boy.
01:19:46We live and learn, don't we Doc?
01:19:48We sure do.
01:19:50Thank you both for being here.
01:19:52There's no other place we'd rather be.
01:19:54Is it okay if I come in?
01:20:04Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:12Can I hold her?
01:20:14Come see.
01:20:16Come see.
01:20:18Come see.
01:20:20Come see.
01:20:22Come see.
01:20:24Come see.
01:20:26Come see.
01:20:28Come see.
01:20:40Come see.
01:20:42Come see.
01:20:44Come see.
01:20:46Come see.
01:20:48I brought you a present.
01:20:50A present?
01:20:52These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:55When I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:20:59Well, while you went through 20,000 links, I figured you'd use a few more.
01:21:02Oh, you think so?
01:21:06I should probably get going.
01:21:08Okay. Will I see you later?
01:21:12Sure as this is one fine day.
01:21:18Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter, I could use a little help in here.
01:21:30I'm coming.
01:21:34Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us and the love which envelops us.
01:21:39May we always strive to walk the way you like and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:46Amen.
01:21:48Hey, are you alright?
01:21:59I'm fine. Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:02I've gotten so used to you being at the house, it's gonna be too quiet when we're gone.
01:22:06Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:09I think it's time we go home.
01:22:11I'm gonna miss you so very much.
01:22:13And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:15What are you doing out here?
01:22:16Oh, I was just getting some fresh air, talking to Annie.
01:22:17You're gonna miss her, aren't you?
01:22:18Well, we have her for one more night. Let's enjoy her what we can.
01:22:31Thank you very much, thank you.
01:22:32Oh, it was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:33And Belinda, I can never thank you enough.
01:22:34Well, I wish I could take all the credit, but I had some expert help.
01:22:37This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:38I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:40Me too.
01:22:41All aboard, folks!
01:22:42We're burning daylight!
01:22:43I think it's about that time.
01:22:44Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:22:45Of course.
01:22:46Yeah, I'm on the screen!
01:22:47I'm on the screen!
01:22:48I'm on the screen!
01:22:49Oh, I can never thank you enough.
01:22:50Well, I wish I could take all the credit, but I had some expert help.
01:22:53This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:55I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:58Me too.
01:22:59All aboard, folks!
01:23:00We're burning daylight!
01:23:01I think it's about that time.
01:23:03Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:05Of course.
01:23:06I thought you'd do it.
01:23:18Bye!
01:23:31There you go.
01:23:33Easy now.
01:23:35All right, take her easy there.
01:23:41Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:45How do I thank you, Mary?
01:23:47Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:52I learned a lot from you.
01:23:54And I from you.
01:23:56I may bring them into the world, but you keep them alive and kicking once they're here.
01:24:01Now, if you ever need a good midwife, you know where to find me.
01:24:06Oh, young man, I'm gonna need a hand here.
01:24:23All right.
01:24:24All right.
01:24:25Here we go.
01:24:26Wait a minute.
01:24:27One, two, three.
01:24:28Oh!
01:24:29Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:30Well, Commodore, are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:36I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:38Yes, ma'am.
01:24:39Yeah!
01:24:40Get out!
01:24:41Get!
01:24:42Get out!
01:24:47I never see you!
01:24:52What are you and Mary whispering to, Jenna?
01:24:53What are you and Mary whispering to, Joan?
01:25:00I 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, especially when I am one.
01:25:22Hey!
01:25:24We're gonna have a baby.
01:25:25Baby?
01:25:28We're gonna 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, Mom.
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.
01:25:49Mm-hmm.
01:25:50Uh, now wait up.
01:25:55Now wait up a bit.
01:25:58How far along are you?
01:26:01Man, I'm serious.
01:26:03Well, we gotta start talking about names, really.
01:26:06I mean, I like leaving for a boy.
01:26:08Oh, you think it's gonna be a boy?
01:26:09Or, uh, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl?
01:26:12What do you think?
01:26:12Oh, that's very pretty.
01:26:14Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
01:26:15What do you think?
01:26:17All right, I'll hold on.
01:26:18I'll get the door for you.
01:26:19Oh, wait.
01:26:19My goodness.
01:26:20I'm getting these.
01:26:21I'm going to stop it.
