00:00:00But 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.
00:00:11The 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 and the bumps.
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.
00:00:33I got it for you.
00:00:36I got it for you.
00:00:37I got it for you.
00:00:38I got it for you.
00:00:40We go.
00:00:42It's not your time.
00:00:43I just...
00:01:13It 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.
00:01:39It becomes a very pale label.
00:01:41You haven't noticed when you look in the mirror?
00:01:42I'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.
00:01:49It's common with new mothers.
00:01:51When 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.
00:01:57What took you so long to come to me?
00:01:58Well, you see, my husband doesn't think I'm really sick.
00:02:02He says I'm just lazy.
00:02:03You take care of six children and a husband.
00:02:05Why, you work harder than he does.
00:02:07Lloyd's a good man, Doc Owens.
00:02:08Really, he is.
00:02:10He 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.
00:02:20Lloyd doesn't really like all those vegetables.
00:02:22He prefers his meat and potatoes.
00:02:24Take 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.
00:02:44Hello, Lee.
00:02:57Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:59You eating that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:01I'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.
00:03:12Well, she should get here any day now.
00:03:14I was referring to that apprentice of yours.
00:03:16He should be here on Thursday's stage.
00:03:19I'll leave you to your work, Lee.
00:03:22Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:23Take me to the doctor.
00:03:26All finished?
00:03:29It'll be $2 for the doctor and 50 cents for the medicine.
00:03:42I'm sorry my husband doesn't allow me any extra money.
00:03:47I have to use the sock money I've saved up.
00:03:50Why don't we just call it a dollar even?
00:03:54That's very kind of you.
00:03:55Don't mention it, Mrs. McQueen.
00:03:56Can you tell her all these are with that medicine?
00:04:01I will, absolutely.
00:04:02It's very good to see you.
00:04:03Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:04:05No, you take care of yourself.
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:08All right, pal.
00:04:12Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:14Okay.
00:04:14Okay.
00:04:16I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:21That's a perfect child.
00:04:23Here it comes.
00:04:26Easy.
00:04:28Hey!
00:04:32Settle down now.
00:04:33Settle.
00:04:33Settle.
00:04:34Easy now.
00:04:38I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:42Come on.
00:04:43That was a close.
00:04:53Aunt Annie's here.
00:04:59Aunt Annie!
00:05:01Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:03No.
00:05:04She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:07Sure, she looks very round.
00:05:10I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:12Oh, let me get that.
00:05:13Oh, it's fine.
00:05:15If anyone treats me like a China doll, I'm not going to break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:21Me too.
00:05:21I can't tell you how much I appreciate you looking after Annie while I'm away.
00:05:28I didn't want to take a surveying job this close to her having a baby, but we need the money.
00:05:33I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:35Put your mind at ease, Pete.
00:05:36We're happy to have her.
00:05:37My mother would have stayed with Annie.
00:05:39But I wanted to come visit my best friend and her family before the baby comes.
00:05:43And we're so glad you did.
00:05:45How are things done to the clinic?
00:05:47Broken bones and bee stings.
00:05:48Anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:52The town loves Mom.
00:05:53They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:54Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:57Well, how about I start cleaning and Lee, you'll help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:03All right, sir.
00:06:19It's good having Annie here.
00:06:21It is.
00:06:22She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:25I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:28Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:31I'm right here.
00:06:32Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:35I'm just tired.
00:06:36You sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:40What's wrong?
00:06:41I'm not pregnant.
00:06:43Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:44We've tried for so long.
00:06:47We have more than we can handle it, Lill.
00:06:50Oh, I know, but it's just that when Annie found out the news, it maybe won a baby of
00:06:57our own even more.
00:07:00And now that she's staying with us.
00:07:03No.
00:07:08We are going to have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:12All good things come in God's time, and maybe we should just let him decide.
00:07:18What if he doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:29Hey.
00:07:31Come on.
00:07:33Let's go help Lill finish the deuces, hmm?
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.
00:07:57I love you.
00:07:58I love you too.
00:07:58Bye, ladies.
00:08:04Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:05Will see you.
00:08:08Step up!
00:08:16Boy, are you all right?
00:08:19I don't know.
00:08:21Yes!
00:08:23Oh, no!
00:08:25No!
00:08:27Oh, please!
00:08:30Oh!
00:08:31Oh, oh!
00:08:33EJ!
00:08:36Well, good time, isn't it?
00:08:38Bags.
00:08:39Got it.
00:08:40Check on the team, Ike.
00:08:43Welcome home, darling.
00:08:44Oh.
00:08:45Beautiful.
00:08:46You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:08:59Who are you, Owens?
00:09:00Welcome, Sykeson.
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.
00:09:07Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:08Yes, sir.
00:09:09Abby.
00:09:10Well, Sykeson's a nice little town.
00:09:12I hope you like it.
00:09:13I expect so.
00:09:14Can I help you with your things?
00:09:16Don't have much.
00:09:18All right.
00:09:19Come on, let me show you the shop.
00:09:21Sounds good.
00:09:23So we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:26Delivery work and rolling stock.
00:09:29Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:32Now, when your blows are even and you can work a straight piece of metal, those will be your tools.
00:09:37It's hard work.
00:09:39But you managed to make something that lasts a generation or two.
00:09:41Well, 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?
00:09:50Yes, sir.
00:09:51All right, then.
00:09:51How was your walk?
00:10:02You're tearing around a 30-pound sack of flour.
00:10:05Slow day?
00:10:06Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone comes in from getting caught on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder.
00:10:12You know, when I was traveling through Selina last month, there was a rash of copperhead snake bites.
00:10:17It felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:21I haven't had anything as exciting as a snake bite in months.
00:10:24You should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve.
00:10:27It's our job as doctors to care about even the most minor illness or affliction.
00:10:31And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:36That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:39Linda, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:42You can tell me anything.
00:10:43You know that.
00:10:46Oh!
00:10:48What is it?
00:10:50It's a quick, sharp pain and shortness of breath and minor faintness.
00:10:55Let's get you to an examination.
00:10:56It's not necessary.
00:10:57Is the baby moving?
00:10:59It isn't that.
00:11:02It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:04Let me finish some things up and we'll get you home.
00:11:13You know, my pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:16You always walk?
00:11:18Well, lately I've been riding.
00:11:20You walking to my camp?
00:11:21No.
00:11:23I ain't got a horse to give to Little Ant.
00:11:26But he's still a little green.
00:11:28Pesty.
00:11:29I've been breaking him, getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:33Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:36I know nothing of saddle horses.
00:11:38Only harness bro.
00:11:39I stick with wagons.
00:11:41You'd better for it.
00:11:43I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:47What happened today?
00:11:48Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:51And that's coming from the doctor, Amy.
00:11:53When you go home, we will deliver your baby.
00:11:55My mother-in-law.
00:11:56She's a midwife.
00:11:57Well, I wish I was the one delivering your baby.
00:11:59It's a doctor's job after all.
00:12:02I'm sure it's going to be fine.
00:12:06Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:09And you must be Joshua.
00:12:17Welcome to our home.
00:12:18Very nice to meet you, Ms. Owens.
00:12:20Uh, that's Dr. Owens.
00:12:23You're a doctor?
00:12:23Yes, as is my best friend, Dr. Annie Watson.
00:12:27It's a pleasure to meet you, Joshua.
00:12:28Ma'am.
00:12:30It's funny.
00:12:31I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:34Allowed?
00:12:35No, 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.
00:12:44That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:50We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:51We'll get used to it.
00:12:54Well, now.
00:12:56Let's go get washed up.
00:12:59She sounds 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...
00:13:23I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:28I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:30Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:34I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:36Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:38They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:40A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:42I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:45I swear.
00:13:47It's just...
00:13:48Well...
00:13:49I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:51I'm apologizing.
00:13:53I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:56Apology accepted.
00:14:01Well, I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:02Well, this isn't for school.
00:14:05So you read for fun?
00:14:07I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa let me.
00:14:10Well, all right.
00:14:11I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:17Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:18Nice young man.
00:14:34I hadn't noticed.
00:14:38Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:41Good night, Pa.
00:14:42Come in.
00:14:59How are you?
00:15:02I feel so...
00:15:03It's all in the room.
00:15:14It's all in the room.
00:15:14I can't get...
00:15:16It's all in the room.
00:15:19Can we just sit down?
00:15:22Just...
00:15:23I think we're so disappointed.
00:15:26It's all in the room.
00:15:27It's all in the room.
00:15:28Oh, it's...
00:15:28What do you mean?
00:15:29I mean, this is what I mean.
00:15:32It's always bad.
00:15:34This is...
00:15:36Let's die平.
00:15:48I was...
00:15:49I love the people.
00:15:53It's amazing.
00:16:01It's amazing.
00:16:19It's amazing.
00:16:49I'm sorry.
00:16:56Meme.
00:16:58Meme.
00:16:59Meme.
00:17:09Meme.
00:17:12Meme.
00:17:14Meme.
00:17:17Meme.
00:17:18Meme.
00:17:19Did she have a seizure?
00:17:27No, but she has all the other symptoms.
00:17:29Well, I'll telegraph Peter first thing in the morning.
00:17:32Tell him what's happened.
00:17:34And let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:17:37Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:38Well, I'm at it all.
00:17:40Why are his mother?
00:17:41He said she lives in Spartan.
00:17:43Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:50Total rest for you, Mrs. Watson, in a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:54To being lazy, you mean.
00:17:56I cannot just lay around all day.
00:17:58I'm a doctor, remember?
00:17:59But I am your doctor and this is my home.
00:18:01And if it is enclampsia, you know bed rest is called for.
00:18:05Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:06Perhaps.
00:18:07But if I'm not, I won't be sorry later.
00:18:11I love you.
00:18:11I love you, too.
00:18:21Prepare for my peach.
00:18:25Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with Aunt Annie?
00:18:28No, you just run along to school.
00:18:30I'll post a note on the clinic and if someone really needs me, they know where to find me.
00:18:34Morning, ladies.
00:18:35Morning.
00:18:37Bye, Ma.
00:18:38Have a good day, darling.
00:18:39Bye, Ma.
00:18:39Bye.
00:18:40Bye.
00:18:40That girl kicks up a pile of dust everywhere she goes.
00:18:46Here you go.
00:18:49Is this your way of telling me not to come home for supper?
00:18:52The other one is for Joshua.
00:18:53A young man just starting off looked like he could use a few more good meals.
00:18:57Do you have any idea how much I love you?
00:18:59Well, it never hurts to hear.
00:19:00I love you, too, Lee Owens.
00:19:07Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:19:09All right.
00:19:11Have a good day, sweet darling.
00:19:13Belinda feels Annie's health as well as the baby's is better served staying here until after the delivery.
00:19:30I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:32Lee Owens.
00:19:33Well, that's what I said.
00:19:44Dr. Olsen.
00:19:45Ms. McQueen.
00:19:46Sorry, we're closed today, but if you'd like to make an appointment.
00:19:49Were you the one that gave Mabel this tonic?
00:19:51Yes, it's iron for her anemia.
00:19:53Why you got to go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:55What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:58Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:20:00Give her that medicine.
00:20:01I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:04A doctor killed my sister with tonic.
00:20:06I don't know the details of your sister's death, but there's no magic to it.
00:20:11Your wife had a baby a month ago, and she has a very serious medical condition.
00:20:15Maybe if you weren't so hard-headed, you would realize that.
00:20:18Now, my advice...
00:20:19I don't need your mouth nor your advice, and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:23Doctors aren't worth a...
00:20:24Who's in the hollering?
00:20:29Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:30Yes, I'm just frustrated at a very stubborn and hard-headed man.
00:20:35Lloyd McQueen is truly set in his ways, but he's still a child of our maker.
00:20:40He has no compassion for his wife's condition.
00:20:42Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times and lose sight of the compassion we should have for others?
00:20:49There I go preaching again.
00:20:50Oh, it's all right.
00:20:52I suppose I needed to hear it.
00:20:53I'll see you in church, Belinda.
00:20:56Good day.
00:21:08That's it.
00:21:09Steady blows.
00:21:11All right.
00:21:11Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:19Must run in the family.
00:21:22I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence, but she was adopted.
00:21:27Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:28Really?
00:21:29Hmm.
00:21:30I never would have known.
00:21:31I mean, she and Mrs...
00:21:32I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:36Matter of fact.
00:21:38Yeah, I mean, it's just...
00:21:40Lillian's very pretty.
00:21:42Yeah, I know she's pretty.
00:21:43I'm truthfully not that hungry.
00:21:59Doctor's orders.
00:22:00Even if you don't feel up to it, you need to finish the entire wall.
00:22:03I'm not a child, Belinda.
00:22:05And I'm a doctor.
00:22:06I think I know what's best for me.
00:22:08Knowing and doing are two entirely different things.
00:22:10Is that another contraction?
00:22:14No, the baby's just kicking.
00:22:17And I have to tell you, I'm a little relieved.
00:22:19I haven't felt him move since the contractions yesterday.
00:22:21You just said it was...
00:22:23He?
00:22:24How do you know it's a boy?
00:22:26I know it sounds silly, but...
00:22:28Mary thinks because I'm carrying so low that it'll be a boy.
00:22:31It is silly.
00:22:32That's an old wife's tale.
00:22:34There's no medical merit to it.
00:22:35Say what you want, but when Peter's sister was pregnant...
00:22:38Mary was concerned because she was carrying so far out in front.
00:22:41She said it would be a breached birth, and she was right.
00:22:44One lucky guess, and she's got you believing made-up stories.
00:22:48Goodness, he's getting his exercise today.
00:22:50Do you want to feel?
00:22:51That's all right.
00:22:53Come on, Belinda.
00:22:55Don't be nervous.
00:22:59It's so strange.
00:23:00I never thought I'd be a mother.
00:23:04It suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world.
00:23:10I'm sorry.
00:23:12I've opened that wound, haven't I?
00:23:15Maybe 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.
00:23:23We've both seen it take some time.
00:23:25You just can't get impatient with yourself.
00:23:26I look after this one woman, Mabel McQueen.
00:23:31She's had six babies in the past eight years without even trying.
00:23:35It's important to you, isn't it?
00:23:41I best get supper ready.
00:23:43Lee and Lillian will be home soon.
00:23:46I'm here to talk whenever you'd like to.
00:23:49Please eat your soup, Annie.
00:23:51I was wondering where you'd run off to.
00:24:13I just looked in on Annie.
00:24:14She's out for the night.
00:24:16She keeps insisting she feels fine.
00:24:18I think I've heard that before.
00:24:24You two are so much alike, it's frightening.
00:24:28I suppose it's why we're such good friends.
00:24:32I noticed you didn't have Joshua over for supper tonight.
00:24:35I'm pretty sure he's sweet on Lil.
00:24:39I don't want the two of them spending too much time together.
00:24:42Why not?
00:24:42He's only a couple years older.
00:24:44Doc, 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.
00:24:51I spent the last five years trying to figure out how I tricked you into marrying me.
00:24:55You could have done much better.
00:24:56You didn't trick me into anything.
00:24:59I married you because I fell in love with you, Leones.
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 something, it's like daring to try to stop her.
00:25:13I don't want to get in the way of her happiness.
00:25:20Still, you left a small town to follow your dream.
00:25:24And if Lillian wants to go to college, I darn sure will want to see it happen.
00:25:30I don't want her tied down to Saxon.
00:25:34I hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has.
00:25:40It's getting a little chilly.
00:25:42Want to turn in for the night?
00:25:44You go ahead.
00:25:45I'll be up in a little while.
00:26:05Don't be in such a hurry, pretty lady.
00:26:09Please allow me to pass.
00:26:11We need to get to know each other.
00:26:15I think not.
00:26:17I don't want to be late for school.
00:26:18I can teach you more than any school can.
00:26:21Excuse me.
00:26:23You mind letting the young lady pass?
00:26:25This ain't none of your affairs, sod buster.
00:26:27Ah, but it is.
00:26:28It ain't.
00:26:35Knock your head off, boy.
00:26:36Now you hold on a second.
00:26:38Now the good book tells me to turn the other cheek.
00:26:40Now I only have two.
00:26:41So after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:45That 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.
00:26:56Please don't break.
00:26:57I trust I'll never see you around Miss Owens again.
00:26:59No, never.
00:27:00Good.
00:27:01Now get.
00:27:02Good morning, Miss Owens.
00:27:14You on your way to school?
00:27:16Indeed I am.
00:27:18May I walk with you?
00:27:19I did the best I could, Jim, but you better go easy on it, all right?
00:27:31My boss strikes me as a hard-working man.
00:27:45He lives and breathes work.
00:27:48Ma says sometimes he rolls over into sleep and tries to use her arms like a set of tongs.
00:27:51I guess that's the future I have for quarantine.
00:27:54Not such a bad life, really.
00:28:00So what about you?
00:28:01You're going to be a doctor like your ma?
00:28:04I don't know.
00:28:05I haven't decided.
00:28:07Maybe 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.
00:28:13Well, I better get to work.
00:28:15Have a nice day, Joshua.
00:28:18You too, Louie.
00:28:23I don't think you should be climbing the stairs.
00:28:32But I feel fine.
00:28:34What's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day.
00:28:37But it's only been three days since you had pain and felt faint.
00:28:40You know the symptoms and treatment as well as I do.
00:28:43That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:48Is that singing?
00:28:51I would know that voice anywhere.
00:28:53That's Mary.
00:28:54Your mother-in-law?
00:28:55What 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.
00:29:15Oh, gee.
00:29:16Thank you, my good man.
00:29:18And you have a blessed day.
00:29:22And you must be the infamous Doc Owen.
00:29:26Beautiful.
00:29:27Mary Watson, oh, do you need that already?
00:29:31Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:34Would you be a dear and bring my thing along?
00:29:36Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:45Where else would you expect me to be, oh, my little lamb?
00:29:49What?
00:29:49But didn't you get the telegraph from Melinda's husband?
00:29:51I did.
00:29:51That's why I'm here.
00:29:53I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend.
00:29:56But I certainly wasn't going to miss the birth of my first grandson.
00:30:01I've missed you.
00:30:03Oh, it's darker than the inside of a cow in here.
00:30:05Yes, it is.
00:30:06Oh, please don't do that.
00:30:08What?
00:30:08She's not a mushroom.
00:30:10She needs light.
00:30:12All right, Doc.
00:30:12Let's sit up so I can get a good look.
00:30:15I'm sorry, what are you doing?
00:30:16I'm getting her upright.
00:30:18If she stays in this bed too long, she'll get a crick in her back and it'll make delivery much more painful.
00:30:23I think it's better that she's on bed rest for the remainder of her term.
00:30:27It'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.
00:30:41That is a matter of opinion and I wholeheartedly disagree.
00:30:44Ladies, I'm not a sack of flour.
00:30:53There I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw.
00:30:59I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night.
00:31:04I expected twins, not triplets.
00:31:08In a blizzard.
00:31:09Oh, the little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:31:14Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:16Women giving birth are always an emergency.
00:31:21That's the penalty we pay for Eve eating the apple.
00:31:26It is not a penalty.
00:31:28Wow, Mrs. Watson, you sure got an exciting life.
00:31:30Well, I should probably get you up to your room, Annie.
00:31:33You let that little fella start running your life now, you'll be lacing his shoes when he's 30.
00:31:39Yes, Annie told me you believe it's a boy.
00:31:41Believe? Nothing.
00:31:43It's a fact.
00:31:44Honestly, Mary, you can't possibly...
00:31:46Actually, I am a little tired.
00:31:48I'm gonna go to bed.
00:31:51I can manage on my own.
00:31:53Good night, all.
00:31:55Good night, Annie.
00:31:55Rest well, dear.
00:31:57Good night, Annie.
00:31:58Good night, Annie.
00:32:03There is no way to tell whether...
00:32:05Well, I think it's time we all settle down, huh?
00:32:07Maybe a full day tomorrow.
00:32:15Thank 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.
00:32:24It was my pleasure, sir.
00:32:26Thank you again.
00:32:29I'll walk you out.
00:32:35Aren'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.
00:32:55I never met a girl who made a book sound so interesting.
00:32:58You can borrow it if you like.
00:33:00Oh, 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.
00:33:08I could do that.
00:33:10Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:33:12Maybe on Saturday?
00:33:13We can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:33:17I think I know just the place.
00:33:20Lee Owens, you are not spying on our only daughter.
00:33:22I'm not spying on her.
00:33:23I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:32Let's see what you got there.
00:33:55Well, you're, uh, really improving.
00:33:59Thank you, sir.
00:34:00I'm trying my best to impress her here.
00:34:03As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:34:07Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you, maybe, uh, Lillian and I...
00:34:15You want permission to court Lillian, right?
00:34:19Yes, sir.
00:34:20Well, I don't want to distract her from her goals.
00:34:23I promise I'll be respectful of her and not get in the way of her schooling.
00:34:26I know how much she wants to go to college.
00:34:28Well, I don't think about it.
00:34:32All right?
00:34:33I understand.
00:34:35Meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:39Lillian wants his order by noon.
00:34:40Yes, sir.
00:34:42You're going to be late opening your clinic.
00:34:45I don't feel comfortable leaving Annie here all alone, and I certainly don't feel comfortable
00:34:49with her being out of bed this much.
00:34:51You 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.
00:35:03I will be here with her all day.
00:35:07You tend to your patience, and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:13If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:17Have a nice day.
00:35:19Praise the Lord, we're free.
00:35:26Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:29We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:34Ah, coming to town.
00:35:44Doc Olenst, can I talk to you?
00:35:46Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:49I only have a minute.
00:35:52I left Lloyd at the general store, said I was running to the butcher.
00:35:56What can I do for you, Mabel?
00:35:57Doc, I feel terrible.
00:35:59This sickness, it's just getting worse.
00:36:00I'm dizzy all the time, and I can barely pick up the youngins.
00:36:03That's because your anemia is getting worse.
00:36:05Your body needs iron.
00:36:06You're only going to get sicker.
00:36:08What can I do to make it better?
00:36:09I already told you.
00:36:11Vegetables are the tonic.
00:36:12If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:15I tried to take the tonic.
00:36:16Really, I did.
00:36:17It even started to feel a little stronger.
00:36:19And then Lloyd found it, and you know the rest.
00:36:23I certainly do.
00:36:24He threw a bottle at me.
00:36:25I'm sorry for that.
00:36:26Really, I am.
00:36:27He was just upset.
00:36:28He didn't mean anything by it.
00:36:30He's a wonderful husband and a father.
00:36:32Maybe.
00:36:33But I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
00:36:40Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:41Your friend Melinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:37:04I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me, but everybody likes me.
00:37:10She isn't happy.
00:37:13She's been trying to have a baby.
00:37:15And Melinda just feels discouraged.
00:37:17Me showing up in my condition and staying till the baby comes.
00:37:21I think it's just another painful reminder.
00:37:24Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:37:27If it's baby trouble she's got, I've surely got the cure.
00:37:32How about a sugary treat?
00:37:34I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:39It isn't here yet.
00:37:40It's been over a week.
00:37:41You said it'd be here by now.
00:37:43The freight line lost the shipping order.
00:37:46There's nothing I can do about it.
00:37:47There's something I could do if there was another general store within 10 miles of here.
00:37:52It'll be here within a week.
00:37:53I'm here, Lloyd.
00:37:57What took you so long?
00:37:59I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:38:00There was a little bit of a line.
00:38:01There's always an excuse.
00:38:03Let's get out of here.
00:38:04I got fences to mend before sundown.
00:38:16She's just feeling poorly at length.
00:38:19She's got a newborn and five youngins.
00:38:21Says it wears her out.
00:38:23You think a mother doesn't work?
00:38:27I've seen this a bunch during and after pregnancy.
00:38:30This is a severe case of anemia.
00:38:33She don't need coddling, lady.
00:38:34I know how to take care of my wife.
00:38:36No, you don't.
00:38:38You are selfish and rude and contentious.
00:38:43And you can't see the forest for the trees.
00:38:46Doc Owens is trying to save your wife's life.
00:38:50She's dying.
00:38:51You get her over to the clinic, and you beg Doc Owens for more of that tonic.
00:38:58Don't talk to me like that.
00:39:00I'll talk to you anyway I want.
00:39:02Get her to the clinic.
00:39:04You better pray to the merciful and good Lord that she doesn't slam the door in your ungrateful face.
00:39:17Father.
00:39:17Amen.
00:39:18Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:26Your home's dead now.
00:39:28I want...
00:39:28My family...
00:39:32Gave you a double dose, so do not take any more today.
00:39:35No, ma'am.
00:39:36Starting tomorrow morning, take two teaspoons every morning.
00:39:38And if you don't get your strength back in four days, get back in here.
00:39:41I'd like to apologize
00:39:48The last time we spoke
00:39:50I lost my temper
00:39:51What'll owe you for the tonic?
00:39:54Only that you allow her to keep taking it
00:39:56We don't need no charity
00:39:57The first one was already paid for
00:39:59This is just a replacement
00:40:00Step up
00:40:11Yes, dear
00:40:21I'm sorry, you're sleeping?
00:40:23Well, not anymore
00:40:24My apprentice wants to court Lillian
00:40:28His name is Joshua
00:40:31I told him I'd think about it
00:40:35Then think
00:40:37Don't think too long
00:40:40Lillian's grown up
00:40:41I'm having a hard time with it
00:40:44You're having a hard time letting her grow up
00:40:47I was trying to protect her
00:40:48I don't think she needs protection from Joshua
00:40:51He's a very nice young man
00:40:53That's all you have to say about him?
00:40:57Good 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
00:41:31I can see why you like it here
00:41:33May I ask why you feel the need to go against every instruction I have for Annie
00:41:38I don't deliberately go against your word
00:41:42We just disagree about how to treat her
00:41:45This isn't a competition, Mary
00:41:47If a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia
00:41:50I wouldn't dream of telling you how to treat them
00:41:53That's your business
00:41:55Babies are my business
00:41:58Have been for 30 years
00:42:00It's just there's been so many new advancements
00:42:02Sometimes the old ways are best
00:42:05Annie may have a serious condition which could be fatal to both her and the baby
00:42:09Are you sure?
00:42:10Of course I'm not sure, but I'm not taking any chances
00:42:12So it's true what they say that doctors only practice medicine
00:42:17This conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere
00:42:23So Annie tells me you're barren
00:42:26Or, uh, or having trouble anyway
00:42:29I don't think that's any of your concern
00:42:31I see this problem a lot
00:42:34If you want, I could give you some remedies that are guaranteed to work
00:42:37I know how it's done, Mary
00:42:39I don't think there's anything wrong with you
00:42:41So what do you think is the problem?
00:42:44You're too high strung
00:42:45Folks worry too much about work, family, or whether or not they can have a baby
00:42:51Then years go by and nothing happens
00:42:55Then one day they decide to stop trying
00:42:58And before you know it, they find they're with child
00:43:01So your sage advice for me is to relax
00:43:05Read a book before you're bed
00:43:08Take some deep breath
00:43:11And before you know it, I'll be back to deliver your little one
00:43:15I'll make sure I try that
00:43:16Every baby boy needs his own blanket
00:43:39Don't you agree?
00:43:40Yes, I do
00:43:41I'm gonna head to the shop for a few hours
00:43:50I'll be back in time for supper
00:43:51Don't you ever take time off?
00:43:53Oh, the good book says that a man who doesn't work doesn't deserve to eat
00:43:57I ain't got a lot of work to do
00:43:59We just thought you'd have more time off once you hired an apprentice
00:44:01And I do
00:44:02Now I'm only two weeks behind instead of six
00:44:04Jillian, you look lovely
00:44:09Where are you headed off to?
00:44:10Joshua and I are having a picnic
00:44:11You enjoy yourself and please tell Joshua that we said hello
00:44:16I will
00:44:16You'll be back in time for supper now, no exceptions
00:44:19I will, I promise
00:44:20Bye, everyone
00:44:23Bye, dear
00:44:23I love it
00:44:39The sea is everything
00:44:40It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe
00:44:42Its breath is pure and healthy
00:44:44It is an immense desert where man is never lonely
00:44:47For he feels life stirring on all sides
00:44:49The sea is the only embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence
00:44:53It is nothing but love and emotion
00:44:55It's the living infinite, as one of your poets has said
00:44:58I've been reading for almost two hours, you must be bored
00:45:03No, I don't think I can ever get bored listening to you talk
00:45:06You're just saying that
00:45:08No, I'm not, I swear
00:45:10It's just, I'd like this Captain Nemo
00:45:13If he weren't holding his friends hostage all the time
00:45:15Well, I can't let them go and they might tell the world who he is
00:45:17Twenty-thousand leagues is an allegory
00:45:20It's about personal freedom
00:45:21Nemo means nobody in Latin
00:45:23And he's invisible to the world and wants to keep it that way
00:45:25You're brilliant, you know that?
00:45:28I am not
00:45:28Lee, you working today?
00:45:38You work harder than any man I know
00:45:43Well, I can't let the customers down
00:45:45Besides, it gives me thinking time
00:45:47Anything that you'd like to share with your pastor?
00:45:52This is a lot of rumbling around in my head like a marble
00:45:54Sometimes it helps to speak it out loud
00:45:57Talking to yourself only gets the answer you're looking for
00:46:00I just can't figure Lillian out
00:46:02I'm trying to be a good father to her
00:46:06Our children grow up, start spreading their wings
00:46:09A father has to be aware of that
00:46:12And try to grow with his child
00:46:14Yeah, Belinda tolerates more than I do
00:46:18She's a mother
00:46:19The good Lord gave them the patience of Job
00:46:22When it comes to raising their children
00:46:23He shortchanged fathers in that area
00:46:26Yeah, yeah
00:46:29I really wish you would get some rest
00:46:36I feel fine
00:46:38Looks like someone may have been wrong about my condition
00:46:41Perhaps
00:46:42So, have things improved with Lee?
00:46:47He says he isn't bothered, but
00:46:49I still sense that he's disappointed we can't have a baby
00:46:52Well, maybe you're just being overly sensitive
00:46:55And you think that he's disappointed
00:46:56Maybe
00:46:57You know, I'm starting to think that maybe she would rest marrying me
00:47:02Now, Lee
00:47:03That is just plain nonsense
00:47:05She's proud as a peacock that she married to you
00:47:08Maybe
00:47:08Have you spoken to her about it?
00:47:12In a roundabout way
00:47:13Of course she says I'm wrong
00:47:15Still, she seems kind of distant lately
00:47:18She's got something on her mind
00:47:20Most women do when they get like that
00:47:22You know, we're trying to have a baby
00:47:28So far, no luck
00:47:30You have to have faith
00:47:32Sometimes it's hard, Reverend
00:47:35Talk to her about your feelings
00:47:38I'd best be getting home
00:47:42This is Dave, so give me an earful if I'm late for supper
00:47:45And myself included
00:47:46Well, I see
00:47:54You didn't need my help putting supper on the table
00:47:58You're taking a nap, man
00:47:59We just wanted you to be able to rest
00:48:01I'll rest enough when I'm dead
00:48:02Give me that knife before you cut yourself
00:48:06So, do you miss your family?
00:48:15I do
00:48:15My pa's a farmer back in Pennsylvania
00:48:18He wanted more from me than to spend my entire life plowing fields
00:48:22So, he said if I got good enough
00:48:24Maybe I can find some work in Philadelphia
00:48:26Sounds like he cares about you a lot
00:48:28Yeah, my family's pretty close
00:48:30It's kind of strange, though
00:48:33You know, being out here all by myself
00:48:36I have three sisters and two brothers
00:48:38Not a moment apiece
00:48:39Back at the boarding house, I got nothing but quiet
00:48:41I know what you mean
00:48:42I mostly grew up in an orphanage
00:48:45Until Ma and Pa adopted me when I was ten
00:48:47I'd spent so long in a room with other kids
00:48:49I couldn't wait to have a room of my own
00:48:51Now I miss having someone to talk to
00:48:54Yeah, me
00:48:56Do, don't I?
00:49:01So, tell me something
00:49:02How'd you ever find a place like this, anyway?
00:49:06I stumbled across it by accident while riding one day
00:49:08And it's so far off the main roads, no one really comes out here
00:49:11So, I brought some of my old stuff
00:49:15And now it's where I come to be alone
00:49:17I can see why
00:49:18Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape
00:49:22This reminds me of it
00:49:24Well, the timber still seems...
00:49:27I wouldn't do that
00:49:28Woah
00:49:29Not as sound as you might think
00:49:34You're probably right
00:49:35I think it's best we pack up
00:49:38Well, I'm happy to see you and Mary are getting along
00:49:45You know, her fertility advice to me was to relax and read a book before bed
00:49:52Did you try it?
00:49:53Of course not
00:49:54She's been doing this longer than we've been alive
00:49:57I can't believe you, Annie Watson
00:49:59You've spent three years in medical school
00:50:02Five years practicing medicine
00:50:03And you're gonna believe that woman's folk magic?
00:50:06It's rubbish, plain and simple
00:50:07We ask people to believe in things they don't understand
00:50:10And they do
00:50:11Because they have trust and faith in us
00:50:14Just like they have faith in the Lord
00:50:16Okay, 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?
00:50:21Okay, Mary is a lovely woman
00:50:24But you have to admit, she's a little touch in the head
00:50:27She doesn't like me any more than I like her
00:50:29Really?
00:50:31The other day at the general store, Mary defended you to the ends of the earth
00:50:35What are you talking about?
00:50:36The man with the anemic wife?
00:50:38The one that you said was such a success story?
00:50:41Mary is the reason that he brought her back to you
00:50:43That's why Lloyd McQueen brought his wife back to me?
00:50:46Mary unloaded on him like a tornado
00:50:48Spoke up for you and just plain made him cower
00:50:51I'm on
00:50:55Go
00:50:56Thank you
00:51:00Do you have any idea what time it is?
00:51:05Hi, Pa
00:51:06You were supposed to be home for supper
00:51:09Joshua and I weren't that hungry
00:51:11So we decided to stay out a little while longer
00:51:12Well, it's well past supper
00:51:14That's more than a little while
00:51:15Why are you so angry?
00:51:17I thought I could trust your judgment
00:51:18But apparently I was wrong
00:51:19What's that supposed to mean?
00:51:21It means you can't spend any more time with Joshua Quoyle
00:51:23Until I say so
00:51:24Go to school, help your mother at the clinic
00:51:26And come straight home
00:51:27For how long?
00:51:28As long as it takes me to trust you again
00:51:30That's completely unfair
00:51:31Joshua is only two years older than I am
00:51:33And no one tells him what to do
00:51:35No one said the world was fair, young lady
00:51:36Lil
00:51:38I was worried about you
00:51:42Hello, Joshua
00:52:06Good afternoon, man
00:52:08Uh
00:52:10Mr. Owens told me how much trouble I caused the other night
00:52:14I just wanted to come by and say how sorry I am for keeping Lillian out so late
00:52:18You needn't place the blame all on yourself
00:52:21She's old enough to know better
00:52:22No, I'm still sorry
00:52:23Ma, I can't find the...
00:52:26Bandages
00:52:27Pa said I can't see you for a while
00:52:32The boss said you couldn't go out with Joshua
00:52:35He said nothing about the two of you seeing each other
00:52:38Thanks, Ma
00:52:39Well, 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
00:52:51I'm sorry to get you into trouble
00:52:58You didn't do anything wrong and neither did I
00:53:00I'm a grown woman and I don't need my pa deciding how late I can and can't stay out
00:53:04He's just worried about you is all
00:53:06Well, he doesn't need to be
00:53:07There's no need to be cross, Lillian
00:53:09I mean, I'll still be here when you get off punishment
00:53:11I'm not going anywhere
00:53:13I wanted to return this
00:53:16Finished it
00:53:17Already?
00:53:18I just gave it to you
00:53:19Once I got started, it was hard to quit
00:53:22I mean, the sun was already up when I finally closed the book
00:53:25So you stayed up all night just to read about Captain Nemo?
00:53:27Well, I don't think I would have gotten much sleep with or without him
00:53:30I'll be thinking about you
00:53:35Me too
00:53:36Mary?
00:53:57In here, dear
00:53:58Annie, should you be up?
00:54:07Where are you going?
00:54:09I've decided to head on home
00:54:11I can see you're in good hands
00:54:14You're leaving?
00:54:16Before the baby comes?
00:54:18Oh, you'll do fine
00:54:20And besides
00:54:22The last thing you need is an old granny midwife gumming up the works
00:54:27This doesn't have anything to do with the disagreement between you and Belinda, does it?
00:54:31Oh, no, no, no
00:54:34Truth is
00:54:35I'm feeling homesick
00:54:38I miss sleeping in my own bed
00:54:41And my patients back home don't have a smart lady doctor to take care of them
00:54:48If you've made your decision, I can't stop you
00:54:50I would really love for you to stay, though
00:54:52I want my family here when the baby comes
00:54:56Belinda is your family, sweetheart
00:54:58And Peter will be back with you next week
00:55:02Besides, all of you will be home before long
00:55:06And somebody's got to get the house ready
00:55:08I'm going to go home to check on Annie
00:55:12I shouldn't be long
00:55:13If there's an emergency, just send them my way or come running
00:55:17Which you're very good at
00:55:18I will, Ma, and thank you
00:55:20For what?
00:55:21For understanding about me and Joshua
00:55:22Believe it or not, I was your age once
00:55:36I'm not going to keep her from church social
00:55:40You may not be able to go with her, but you'll see her there
00:55:43In the meantime, we have an order to finish
00:55:47All right, I like your attitude
00:55:50You're leaving
00:55:59Time for me to go home
00:56:02I'm sorry to hear that
00:56:03I'm going to see her off into town
00:56:05Annie, I just don't think it's a good idea
00:56:07For you to be carrying luggage and walking to town
00:56:09It was my idea, Belinda
00:56:10And I've been all over this whole territory
00:56:13Through my entire pregnancy
00:56:14I think I can handle a short walk into town
00:56:16Doc Owens!
00:56:21Danny
00:56:21Lillian told me he was here
00:56:25Ma's in labor
00:56:26Okay, there's a horse and buggy in the barn
00:56:27Help me hook it up
00:56:28Yes, ma'am
00:56:29I trust you weren't walking to town along the way
00:56:34All right, peach pie
00:56:37Get back in the house
00:56:38And stay put
00:56:40Belinda and I have a baby to deliver
00:56:43Mrs. Travis is my patient
00:56:45If you find you don't need me
00:56:47You have my permission to just shove me out of the way
00:56:51But if you do
00:56:52I'm there
00:56:53Fine, but only because I don't have time to argue with you
00:56:58Thank you, young man
00:57:09It's never taken this long
00:57:16The first few hours seem normal
00:57:17But then it just stopped
00:57:18What stopped?
00:57:19The contractions?
00:57:20No, Doc, the baby
00:57:21It's like it's stuck
00:57:22But I can't see the head
00:57:23I'll see you to her
00:57:24Your mama's gonna be fine
00:57:26It's a fetal dystocia
00:57:30A what?
00:57:32The baby's shoulder is stuck
00:57:33What are you fixing to do with that?
00:57:35We have to get the baby out before it suffocates
00:57:36We start pulling
00:57:38We could make things worse
00:57:40What should we do?
00:57:42Well, if you can't get the baby out from the inside
00:57:45You'd try it from the outside
00:57:48All right, help me with her now
00:57:50That's good
00:57:51What are we doing?
00:57:53We're gonna flatten out her hip bones
00:57:57Travis, lay down for me
00:57:59There
00:58:00Now
00:58:00We're gonna see you're stuck
00:58:02And who's not
00:58:03There
00:58:16It's gonna be all right
00:58:31Pa?
00:58:39Pa?
00:58:43Hello, Joshua
00:58:44Where's my pa?
00:58:47He's on delivery
00:58:48Then headed home
00:58:49I'd sure like to go to the ice cream social
00:58:52I'd sure like to ask you to go with me
00:58:55So?
00:58:57Your pa said I could see you there
00:58:59But I can't escort you
00:59:01Sorry
00:59:14Joshua
00:59:19Pa is being so unreasonable
00:59:23We were late coming home
00:59:26Okay?
00:59:26Don't tell me you're on his side
00:59:28What's the difference in an hour or so?
00:59:30We got home just fine
00:59:32He just doesn't trust me
00:59:33Your pa had no way of knowing whether you were all right
00:59:35When you didn't make it home on time
00:59:36You sound just like pa
00:59:38Ma is the only one who understands
00:59:40Lily, wait a second
00:59:42Get out, get out
00:59:55Get out
00:59:57Get out
00:59:59It's a beautiful baby boy and your wife is fine
01:00:13Can I see them?
01:00:16Shortly
01:00:16Well
01:00:21Looks like we got ourselves a baby brother
01:00:23Isn't he beautiful?
01:00:30He sure is
01:00:31He better be
01:00:35Leave it to a boy to jam up the works
01:00:38Uh, that's not doctors
01:00:51It doesn't matter who does it
01:00:54Just as long as it gets done
01:00:55I learned something today
01:01:01That they didn't teach me medical school
01:01:03He better be
01:01:19He better be
01:01:20What is heаться
01:01:21Uh, huh
01:01:22Uh, huh
01:01:22Uh
01:01:23Uh
01:01:23Uh
01:01:23Uh
01:01:24Uh
01:01:25Uh
01:01:25Uh
01:01:26Uh
01:01:27Uh
01:01:27Uh
01:01:29Uh
01:01:29Uh
01:01:29All right, whoa.
01:01:47Whoa.
01:01:55Whoa.
01:01:56Have you seen Lillian?
01:02:01No, why?
01:02:02Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:02:04She's been missing all afternoon.
01:02:05We got in an argument at the shop over Mr. Owens, and she stormed off.
01:02:09Said you were the only one who understands her.
01:02:10We were hoping she'd run off to find you.
01:02:12She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:02:15It's about to get dark outside.
01:02:17She gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:19I think I know where she is.
01:02:26It's worse this time.
01:02:42I feel like I could faint.
01:02:43Okay, okay.
01:02:43Let's get her inside.
01:02:45It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:48It looks as if...
01:03:06How much further?
01:03:24It's just up ahead.
01:03:33How are you feeling?
01:03:35I'm really not as light as it is before.
01:03:37I like to just go to bed.
01:03:40Let's get you upstairs to a darkened room.
01:03:42Doctor's orders.
01:03:53Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:04:04There's a lactose before?
01:04:22No, sir.
01:04:23Looks like there is a cave-in.
01:04:25She might be hurt.
01:04:28This is one of her lamps.
01:04:29Let's go.
01:04:31Lil!
01:04:33Lil!
01:04:41It's right up there.
01:04:43It's here.
01:04:46Lil!
01:04:50Lil!
01:04:51Give me a hand with this.
01:04:53One, two, three.
01:04:54We got it.
01:05:00We got it.
01:05:00We got it.
01:05:01Lil!
01:05:03Lil!
01:05:04Come on.
01:05:05Talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:12Pa?
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:15Not me, Ronnie.
01:05:18Just take it easy.
01:05:19Just stay down, all right?
01:05:20Let me get you out of here.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:25Come on.
01:05:47How's Lillian?
01:05:47A few got some bruises, but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:55She's out for the night.
01:05:58Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:06:00Give her a couple days.
01:06:01She'll be right as rain.
01:06:03At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:06:06Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:06:09Ah.
01:06:10This too shall pass.
01:06:12Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:18True miracles.
01:06:20Are you still fretting about the baby-making?
01:06:22I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:26Give it up if you want.
01:06:28But I'm telling you, the shine in your hair is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:35You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:37It doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:38It only matters what you believe.
01:06:40What do you mean?
01:06:41Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:45It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:48I'm sorry, I doubted you.
01:06:53You didn't deserve it.
01:06:55The Lord says we are to forgive if we expect to be forgiven.
01:07:00Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning and all is forgiven.
01:07:06That's a promise.
01:07:07Late night tonight, everyone's worn out.
01:07:20A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:28You know, I think I might read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:34Really?
01:07:35You never read in bed.
01:07:37I think it'll do me good.
01:07:39Help me unwind after the long day we've all had.
01:07:42Hmm.
01:07:48Doc.
01:07:51I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:54Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:58And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage.
01:08:00You need a good home.
01:08:02You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of her home?
01:08:05I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:09Always have been.
01:08:10Always will be.
01:08:14Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:15Yeah.
01:08:19Yeah.
01:08:19Yeah, I like the sunrise.
01:08:25I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:27I love you, too.
01:08:33Oh.
01:08:33All right.
01:08:34You can read your book now?
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:38All right.
01:08:40I'll just go to sleep.
01:08:42I'm sure I can't help you read it, or no.
01:08:51All right.
01:09:01Shouldn't you be in bed?
01:09:03My ball and chain let me come downstairs.
01:09:05She has her mind set on going to the ice cream social.
01:09:10What if I find a shady, comfortable place to just sit and eat ice cream?
01:09:14You are not going to the social.
01:09:16I am a doctor.
01:09:17I vote yes.
01:09:18Well, that's one vote for Dr. Annie and one vote for the midwife.
01:09:22I guess you've got the tie-breaking vote, Doc.
01:09:28I'm sorry, Annie.
01:09:30I'm going to have to side with the midwife.
01:09:31But I love ice cream.
01:09:33Then I'll send you some.
01:09:34That's not the same.
01:09:35How do I know you're not going to sneak out when we're gone?
01:09:38Don't give it a second thought, Doc.
01:09:40This old ball and chain will be sitting right here like a prison warden.
01:09:44You're both against me.
01:09:46That's right.
01:09:46Read your book and pout.
01:09:48Don't you look beautiful.
01:10:03Except for this.
01:10:04Oh, no one will even notice that.
01:10:06Even Joshua.
01:10:08Especially 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?
01:10:14And I told him I wanted to walk in with my family and see him from afar.
01:10:18That's very romantic.
01:10:20Must be from all the books I read.
01:10:23Pa.
01:10:25I'm sorry for not making curfew the other night.
01:10:28Oh, no, you were just worried about me.
01:10:30Don't worry about it.
01:10:32You're growing up so fast sometimes I can't keep up with you.
01:10:36Thanks, Pa.
01:10:37Come here.
01:10:52And then he stepped like this.
01:10:56Here we go, son.
01:10:58Come here, honey.
01:11:01Here we go.
01:11:03Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:11:05No, thank you.
01:11:06No, thank you, Joshua.
01:11:14Hey, partner.
01:11:15How'd you ice cream?
01:11:18Doc Owens, can we talk?
01:11:20Boyd, I believe you know my husband Lee.
01:11:24Boyd, 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.
01:11:30Boyd, you do look like a brand new person.
01:11:32You've had a lot more energy.
01:11:33You still need some extra sleep in the afternoons, getting stronger every day.
01:11:38Well, the best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed to receive with a joyful spirit.
01:11:43It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:45Well, I, uh, mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:52Thanks again, Doc.
01:11:53It was my pleasure.
01:11:54And I should be the one to apologize to you, Mabel.
01:11:58I had no right to be cross with you when you needed my help.
01:12:01I hope you can forgive me.
01:12:03There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:07Have a good day.
01:12:12Wow.
01:12:14That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:17You like some ice cream?
01:12:19I love some.
01:12:19I got Lee's telegram.
01:12:39Where's Annie?
01:12:40The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:42Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:44I need Belinda now.
01:12:45I want to see Annie.
01:12:47Get Belinda now.
01:12:54You look beautiful.
01:12:56So you look handsome.
01:12:59I still can't believe it.
01:13:01Can't believe what?
01:13:03That I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:09That's very sweet of you to say, Joshua.
01:13:11Sure.
01:13:11Sure.
01:13:11Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:26Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:28Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:29Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:31Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:33I need you.
01:13:51Belinda.
01:13:52Peter.
01:13:52It's Annie.
01:13:53You've got to come quick.
01:13:55Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:13:59Yeah.
01:13:59Stand back.
01:14:00Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:11She's had a seizure.
01:14:12I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete, what's the best way down here?
01:14:19There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:20Dear Lord, please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:37Amen.
01:14:38Amen.
01:14:40Thank you, Lee.
01:14:41You're welcome.
01:14:43Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:50Peter, he's waiting downstairs.
01:15:01Right.
01:15:03It is a glimpse.
01:15:05I'm afraid so.
01:15:09Please save my baby.
01:15:12You know what you have to do.
01:15:20I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:35What did she mean?
01:15:39You know what has to be done.
01:15:41That baby has to come out if we're to save it.
01:15:44Even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:46That baby is ready.
01:15:47She was talking about a cesarean delivery.
01:15:51Which I could do at the clinic, but under very crude conditions.
01:15:55Have you ever done one?
01:15:57I did one once at a hospital in Boston.
01:16:00But I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:16:03And there wasn't a clams handballed.
01:16:05Is there no other choice?
01:16:08Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:16:11Well then, we best get that labor going.
01:16:14What is that?
01:16:21Scotch broom with a little vanilla to help it go down.
01:16:24Women have been using it for centuries.
01:16:27Scotch broom is a weed?
01:16:28A weed the good Lord made.
01:16:31His wonders to perceive.
01:16:33Does it work?
01:16:34Sure is the sunrise.
01:16:36A little of this,
01:16:38and we'll have our baby boy in no time.
01:16:41Is there anything else I can do?
01:16:48A glass of water?
01:16:49A glass of water.
01:16:51A glass of water.
01:16:59No one has to tel.
01:17:01I don't want to eat like this.
01:17:06Pretty much tasty.
01:17:08Just gotta think for a visit.
01:17:12It's enough for a moment.
01:17:14Our temperature is slightly raised
01:17:25But our heartbeat and our breathing are long
01:17:28No contractions yet
01:17:30It doesn't seem to be working
01:17:32It's never taken this long
01:17:34Let's just give it a little more time
01:17:36We could lose Annie and the baby
01:17:40Do you have everything here that you need
01:17:44To do a caesarean delivery?
01:17:50How about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:57I'm going to make some tea
01:17:58Do you like a cup?
01:18:00No, thank you
01:18:14Any news?
01:18:17Nothing yet
01:18:17I'm going to have a cup of tea
01:18:20You're doing fine, Annie
01:18:42Just keep breathing
01:18:42Contractions
01:18:48Closer together
01:18:49We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family
01:18:53It's alright, it's alright
01:18:55Keep breathing
01:18:57Good, good
01:18:58Congratulations, Uncle Rito
01:19:20She's so beautiful
01:19:31I'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
01:19:41I thought she was a boy
01:19:43She carried like a boy
01:19:46We even learn, don't we, Doc?
01:19:49We sure do
01:19:50Thank you both for being here
01:19:52There's no other place we'd rather be
01:19:55Is it okay if I come in?
01:20:05Come meet your daughter, Peter
01:20:06Can I hold her?
01:20:16Come sit
01:20:17We're on the fence now by the walkway
01:20:46Hey, you got that, Bella?
01:20:49How about your present?
01:20:51Present?
01:20:53These are a few of my favorites
01:20:55When I asked you for a few books
01:20:57I thought you'd give me one or two
01:20:59The way you went through 20,000 links
01:21:01I figured you'd use a few more
01:21:03Oh, you think so?
01:21:07I should probably get going
01:21:09Okay
01:21:10Will I see you later?
01:21:13Sure is this one fine day
01:21:14Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter
01:21:29I could use a little help in here
01:21:30I'm coming
01:21:32Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us
01:21:38And the love which envelops us
01:21:40May we always strive to walk the way you like
01:21:43And be true missionaries of your word
01:21:46Amen
01:21:48Hey, are you alright?
01:22:00I'm fine
01:22:01Just a little stuffy inside
01:22:02I've gotten so used to you being at the house
01:22:05It'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
01:22:16What are you doing out here?
01:22:23Oh, I was just getting some fresh air
01:22:24Talking to Annie
01:22:25You're gonna miss her, aren't you?
01:22:28Well, we have her for one more night
01:22:31Let's enjoy her while we can
01:22:33Thank you very much, thank you
01:22:44It was my pleasure, Pete
01:22:45And Belinda
01:22:46I can never thank you enough
01:22:48Well, I wish I could take all the credit
01:22:50But I had some expert help
01:22:52This 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
01:23:01We're burning daylight
01:23:03I think it's about that time
01:23:04Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:07Of course
01:23:07I thought you'd do
01:23:19Bye
01:23:20Bye
01:23:20Well, my friend
01:23:43We had ourselves an adventure
01:23:46How do I think you marry?
01:23:48Well, you could start by finding me a husband
01:23:50I learned a lot from you
01:23:55And I from you
01:23:57I may bring them into the world
01:23:59But you keep them alive and kicking once they're here
01:24:02Now, if you ever need a good midwife
01:24:06You know where to find me
01:24:07Oh
01:24:08Oh, young man
01:24:23I'm going to need a hand here
01:24:25All right
01:24:25Here we go
01:24:27Wait a minute
01:24:28One, two, three
01:24:29Steady, steady, steady
01:24:31Well, Commodore
01:24:36Are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:38I thought you said we were burning daylight
01:24:40Yes, ma'am
01:24:41Yeah, get up
01:24:42Get
01:24:44Where are you and Mary whispering to each other?
01:25:01I was just telling her I'd be needing a good midwife
01:25:03You mean
01:25:09Mm-hmm
01:25:10Are you sure?
01:25:15I'm a doctor
01:25:15I know a pregnant woman when I see one
01:25:17Especially when I am one
01:25:19Hey
01:25:23We're going to have a baby
01:25:25Baby?
01:25:27Baby?
01:25:29We're going to have a baby
01:25:30Lillian Owens
01:25:33You were late enough for school as it is
01:25:34Put those running legs to good use
01:25:36Yes, ma'am
01:25:37Joshua Coyle
01:25:40Don't just stand there and gawk
01:25:42You've got a job to do
01:25:43Yes, ma'am
01:25:45I've got patients to attend to
01:25:49And baby plans to make
01:25:50Now, wait up
01:25:55Now, wait up
01:25:56How far along are you?
01:26:00Man, I'm serious
01:26:03Well, we've got to start talking about names, really
01:26:06I mean, I like leave for a boy
01:26:08Oh, you think it's going to be a boy?
01:26:10Or, uh, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl
01:26:12What do you think?
01:26:13Oh, that's very pretty
01:26:14Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
01:26:16What do you think?
01:26:17All right, I'll go
01:26:18Hold on, I'll get the door for you
01:26:19Oh, wait, my goodness
01:26:21Take it easy
01:26:21Stop it
