00:00:01But it would hurt my feelings if you delivered my first grandson without me.
00:00:05I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:00:07And I'm counting on you.
00:00:09Keep good thoughts, the baby.
00:00:12We'll see you in a few weeks, Mother.
00:00:13All right, Peter Watson, you drive slowly and easily.
00:00:18And avoid the ruts in the bus.
00:00:21Annie and my grandson do not need to be jostled around like a sack of potatoes.
00:00:26Yes, ma'am.
00:00:30I got it for you, Joe.
00:00:31Yes, sir!
00:00:32Skip up!
00:01:00It just feels awful sometimes.
00:01:15What exactly are you feeling?
00:01:17I don't mean to complain, doctor, but I'm just plum wore out.
00:01:21Sometimes I can barely keep my head up.
00:01:23And when did you start feeling this way?
00:01:25When I had my youngest.
00:01:26About five months ago.
00:01:32Your mouth, please.
00:01:39Cums are very pale, Mabel.
00:01:41You haven't noticed when you look in the mirror?
00:01:43I'm not sure I know what they're supposed to look like.
00:01:45Well, I think you have anemia, which means you don't have enough iron in your body.
00:01:48It's common with new mothers.
00:01:50When the baby was inside of you, he took most of your iron.
00:01:53So it's nothing serious, then?
00:01:55Oh, it's very serious.
00:01:56What took you so long to come to me?
00:01:58Well, you see, my husband doesn't think I'm really sick.
00:02:01He says I'm just lazy.
00:02:03You take care of six children and a husband while you work harder than he does.
00:02:07Lloyd's a good man, Doc Owens.
00:02:08Really, he is.
00:02:09He just don't trust doctors.
00:02:11Not since his sister died.
00:02:13Is there a tonic I can take for this anemia?
00:02:16There is a tonic, but eating vegetables would be much more effective.
00:02:19Lloyd doesn't really like all those vegetables.
00:02:22He prefers his meat and potatoes.
00:02:33I take two spoonfuls twice a day and come and see me in a week.
00:02:38It's very important that my coming to see you is kept private.
00:02:41What goes on between a doctor and a patient is always very private.
00:02:57Hello, Lee.
00:02:58Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:59You're eating that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:01Well, I'm just trying to wear him down for the ride home.
00:03:05You're here early, you're here late.
00:03:07Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going.
00:03:09Aren't you expecting company?
00:03:11My wife's best friend from medical school.
00:03:13Well, she should get here any day now.
00:03:14I was referring to that apprentice of yours.
00:03:16He should be here on Thursday's stage.
00:03:18I'll leave you to your work, Lee.
00:03:21Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:23Take your hand to the doctor.
00:03:27All finished?
00:03:29It'll be $2 for the doctor and 50 cents for the medicine.
00:03:32I'm sorry your husband doesn't allow me any extra money.
00:03:46I have to use the sock money I've saved up.
00:03:49Why don't we just call it a dollar even?
00:03:53That's very kind of you.
00:03:55Don't mention it, Mrs. McQueen.
00:03:56Tell her all these are without medicine.
00:03:57I will absolutely.
00:03:58It's very good to see you.
00:03:59Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:04:00I need to take care of yourself.
00:04:01Okay.
00:04:02All right, pal.
00:04:03Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:05I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:07That's a perfect child.
00:04:09Here it comes.
00:04:10Easy.
00:04:11Hey.
00:04:12You have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:18I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:24Here he comes.
00:04:26Easy.
00:04:32Settle down now. Settle.
00:04:34Easy 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.
00:05:04She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:06Sure, she looks very round.
00:05:09I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:11Oh, let me get that.
00:05:13Oh, it's fine.
00:05:15Everyone treats me like a China doll. I'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.
00:05:27I 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.
00:05:34Put 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.
00:05:44How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:46Broken bones and bee stings, anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:52The 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.
00:05:59Well, how about I start cleaning and Lee will help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:03All right, son.
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.
00:06:28Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:30I'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.
00:06:45We've tried for so long.
00:06:47We have more than we can handle with Lil.
00:06:49Oh, I know, but...
00:06:53It's just that when Annie found out the news, it maybe won a baby of our own even more.
00:07:02Now that she's staying with us.
00:07:04No.
00:07:08We are gonna have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:12And 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?
00:07:28Hey.
00:07:31Come on.
00:07:33Let's go help Lil 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.
00:08:03Bye 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.
00:08:22Ha!
00:08:23Oh no!
00:08:25No!
00:08:27Oh, please!
00:08:30Oh!
00:08:31Oh, oh!
00:08:32DJ!
00:08:36Well, good time, isn't it?
00:08:38Here's the bags.
00:08:39Got it.
00:08:40Check on the team, Mike.
00:08:43Welcome home, darling.
00:08:44Oh, beautiful.
00:08:45You!
00:08:47How was the chance?
00:08:48Yes!
00:08:57You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:08:59We 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.
00:09:07Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:08Yes, sir.
00:09:10Well, Saxton'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.
00:09:18Alright.
00:09:19Come on, let me show you the shop.
00:09:20Sounds good.
00:09:23So, we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:26Liberty work and rolling stock.
00:09:28Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:32Now, 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.
00:09:38But you managed to make something that lasts a generation or two.
00:09:41You know, it gives you a sense of pride.
00:09:44I reckon that's true.
00:09:46What do you say?
00:09:48You ready to get started?
00:09:49Yes, sir.
00:09:50All right then.
00:09:51How was your walk?
00:09:52Are you 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.
00:10:11You know, when I was traveling through Selena last month, there was a rash of copperhead snake bites.
00:10:17It felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:21I 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.
00:10:32And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:36That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:37Linda, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:42You can tell me anything, you 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.
00:10:58Is 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 on.
00:11:08You know, my Pa says walking's good for man's constitution.
00:11:12You always walk?
00:11:14Well, lately I've been riding.
00:11:16You walking to my camp?
00:11:17No.
00:11:19I ain't got a horse to give to Little Ant, but he's still a little green.
00:11:23Pesty.
00:11:24I've been breaking him.
00:11:25Getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:26Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:28I know nothing of saddle horses.
00:11:29Only harness problem.
00:11:30I stick with wagons.
00:11:31You'd better for it.
00:11:32I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:33What happened today?
00:11:34Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:35And that's coming from your doctor and me.
00:11:36When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:37My mother-in-law.
00:11:38She's a midwife.
00:11:39Well, I wish I was the one delivering your baby.
00:11:40It's a doctor's job after all.
00:11:41I'm sure it's going to be fine.
00:11:42Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
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 and me.
00:11:52When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:54My mother-in-law. She'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.
00:12:13And you must be Joshua. Welcome to our home.
00:12:17It's very 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, it's funny. I 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. He just got here.
00:12:39I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:43Apparently not.
00:12:48That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:49We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:51You'll get used to it.
00:12:54Oh, now.
00:12:56Let's go get washed up.
00:12:59Smells like my favorite.
00:13:01Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:13:03Indeed.
00:13:13Miss Owens?
00:13:14Mr. Coyle?
00:13:15I just want you to know...
00:13:16I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:17I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:18Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:19I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:20Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:22They already have female lawyers, doctors and ministers.
00:13:23A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:24I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:25I swear.
00:13:26It's just...
00:13:27Well...
00:13:28I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:29I'm apologizing.
00:13:30I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:31Apology accepted.
00:13:32I'm not sure.
00:13:33I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:34I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:35Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:36I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:37Women 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.
00:13:46It's just...
00:13:47Well...
00:13:48I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:50I'm apologizing.
00:13:52I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:55Apology accepted.
00:13:57Well, I'll leave you to your school work.
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.
00:14:27Good night.
00:14:32Nice young man.
00:14:33I hadn't noticed.
00:14:38Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:40Good night, Pa.
00:14:41Good night, Pa.
00:14:42Good night.
00:14:56Come in.
00:15:00How are you?
00:15:01I feel so...
00:15:03It's all in the room.
00:15:15I can't get it.
00:15:17Can I help?
00:15:20Can we just sit down?
00:15:22Just sit down.
00:15:24I think the suit doesn't...
00:15:26It's okay.
00:15:28It says it's fine.
00:15:30It says it's fine.
00:15:30It's in the eastbound.
00:15:34It says it's fine.
00:15:36It's not fine.
00:15:47It says it's fine.
00:15:52It's nice to get it.
00:15:53It says it's fine.
00:16:02It says it's fine.
00:16:12It says it's fine.

00:18:39Bye
00:18:40That girl kicks up a pile of dust everywhere she goes
00:18:45Here you go
00:18:48Is this your way of telling me not to come home for supper?
00:18:50The other one is for Joshua
00:18:52A young man just starting off
00:18:54looked 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 it
00:19:04I love you too Lee Owens
00:19:06Oh and don't forget to send the telegrams
00:19:08Alright
00:19:10Have a good day sweet darling
00:19:12Belinda feels Annie's health as well as the baby's
00:19:25is better served staying here until after the delivery
00:19:29I have wired Peter the same message
00:19:31Lee Owens
00:19:32It's for Queen
00:19:33Sorry 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?
00:19:54What she has is a spell of laziness
00:19:56Mabel is sick Mr. McQueen
00:19:58Give her that medicine
00:20:00I don't need your magic potion
00:20:02A doctor killed my sister with tonic
00:20:04I don't know the details of your sister's death
00:20:08But there's no magic to it
00:20:10Your wife had a baby a month ago
00:20:12And she has a very serious medical condition
00:20:14Maybe if you weren't so hard-headed you would realize that
00:20:16You would realize that
00:20:17Now my advice
00:20:18I don't need your mouth nor your advice
00:20:20And I don't need your magic potion
00:20:21Doctor's not worth a
00:20:23Who's the holler?
00:20:28Are you alright Belinda?
00:20:30Yes I'm just frustrated at a very stubborn and hard-headed man
00:20:34Lloyd McQueen is truly set in his ways
00:20:36But he's still a child of our maker
00:20:39He has no compassion for his wife's condition
00:20:41Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times
00:20:43And lose sight of the compassion we should have for others
00:20:47There I go preaching again
00:20:49Oh it's alright
00:20:50I suppose I needed to hear it
00:20:52I'll see you in church Belinda
00:20:54Good day
00:21:07That's his steady blows
00:21:08Alright
00:21:10Your daughter seems very smart Mr. Owens
00:21:12What's running the family?
00:21:13I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence but
00:21:15She was adopted
00:21:16Still I couldn't be prouder
00:21:17Really?
00:21:18Huh
00:21:19I never would have known
00:21:20I mean she and Mrs.
00:21:21I mean Dr. Owens
00:21:22Sort of look alike
00:21:23Is that a fact?
00:21:24But yeah
00:21:25I mean it's just
00:21:26Lillian's very pretty
00:21:27Yeah I know she's pretty
00:21:28I'm truthfully not that high
00:21:30You should be proud of
00:21:31You should be proud of
00:21:32You should be proud of
00:21:33You should be proud of
00:21:34I'd be proud of
00:21:35Really?
00:21:36I never would have known
00:21:37I mean Dr. Owens
00:21:38Sort of look alike
00:21:39As a fact
00:21:40Yeah I mean it's just
00:21:41Lillian's very pretty
00:21:42i'm truthfully not that hungry doctor's orders even if you don't feel up to it you need to
00:22:01finish the entire bowl i'm not a child belinda and i'm a doctor i think i know what's best for
00:22:07me knowing and doing are two entirely different things is that another contraction no the baby's
00:22:15just kicking and i have to tell you i'm a little relieved i haven't felt him move since the
00:22:19contractions yesterday you just said it was he how do you know it's a boy i know it sounds silly
00:22:27but mary thinks because i'm carrying so low that it'll be a boy it is silly that's an old wife's
00:22:32tale there's no medical merit to it say what you want but when peter's sister was pregnant mary was
00:22:38concerned because she was carrying so far out in front she said it would be a breached birth and
00:22:42she was right one lucky guess and she's got you believing made up stories goodness he's getting
00:22:48his exercise today you want to feel that's all right come on belinda you'll be nervous
00:22:55so strange i never thought i'd be a mother it suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the
00:23:05world
00:23:06i'm sorry i've opened that wound haven't i maybe we shouldn't talk about it you know i know so many
00:23:17women that have gotten pregnant without even trying and lee and i have been trying we've both seen it
00:23:23take some time you just can't get impatient with yourself i look after this one woman mabel mcqueen
00:23:30she's had six babies in the past eight years without even trying it's important to you isn't it
00:23:41our best get supper ready lee and lillian will be home soon i'm here to talk whenever you'd like to
00:23:47please eat your soup annie
00:23:50i was wondering where you'd run off to
00:24:06i just looked in on annie she's out for the night she keeps insisting she feels fine
00:24:18i think i've heard that before you two are so much alike it's frightening
00:24:26i suppose it's why we're such good friends
00:24:30i noticed you didn't have joshua over for supper tonight
00:24:34i'm pretty sure he's sweet on lill
00:24:37i don't want the two of them spending too much time together
00:24:41why not he's only a couple years older
00:24:43doc he's an apprentice blacksmith i want better for lillian
00:24:47i'm the wife of a blacksmith and you don't hear me complaining
00:24:50i spent the last five years trying to figure out how i tricked you into marrying me
00:24:54you could have done much better you didn't trick me into anything
00:24:58i 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 some things
00:25:11like daring to try to stop her
00:25:14i get your point
00:25:18i don't want to get in the way of her happiness still
00:25:22you left 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
00:25:30i don't want her tied down to saxon
00:25:34i hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has
00:25:40you know it's getting a little chilly want to turn in for the night

00:27:48he rolls over to sleep and tries to use her arms like a set of tongs
00:27:51i guess that's the future i have to look forward to
00:27:54that's like a bad life really
00:27:59so what about you you're gonna come a doctor like your ma
00:28:03i don't know i haven't decided maybe i want to be a lawyer or a famous writer like harriet feature

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 that's assuming your diagnosis is correct

00:30:18bed too long she'll get a crick in her back and it'll make delivery much more painful i think it's
00:30:23better that she's on bed rest for the remainder of her term it's not gonna hurt her to sit up when
00:30:29you've delivered as many babies as i have you learn a few things well i've been to medical school for
00:30:34years and rest is the proper treatment you don't learn everything in medical school that is a matter

00:31:07in a blizzard oh the little ones pop out whenever they want regardless of the weather fortunately i don't
00:31:14have many emergencies women giving births are always an emergency that's the penalty we pay for eve eating
00:31:23the apple it is not a penalty wow mrs watson you sure got an exciting life well i should probably
00:31:30get you up to your room annie you let that little fella start running your life now you'll

00:36:00i'm dizzy all the time and i can barely pick up the youngins that's because your anemia is
00:36:04getting worse your body needs iron you're only going to get sicker what can i do to make it better
00:36:09i already told you vegetables are the tonic if you don't listen to my instructions there is nothing
00:36:14more i can do i tried to take the tonic really i did even started to feel a little stronger and then
00:36:19lloyd found it and you know the rest i certainly do he threw a bottle at me i'm sorry for that really i am
00:36:26he was just upset he didn't mean anything by it he's a wonderful husband and a father maybe but i
00:36:33can't help you if you won't help yourself good day mrs mcqueen
00:36:49your friend belinda doesn't seem too happy i'd say it's just that she doesn't like me but
00:37:07everybody likes me she isn't happy she's been trying to have a baby 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
00:37:29i've surely got the cure how about a sugary treat
00:37:38sorry lloyd it isn't here yet it's been over a week you said it'd be here by now
00:37:43freight line lost the shipping order there's nothing i can do about it there's something
00:37:47i could do if there was another general store within 10 miles of here it'll be here within
00:37:52a week i'm here lloyd what took you so long i'm sorry lloyd there was a little bit of a line
00:38:01there's always an excuse let's get out of here i got fences to men before sundown
00:38:05she's just feeling poorly elated she's got a newborn and five youngins says it wears her out
00:38:22you think a mother doesn't work
00:38:26i've seen this a bunch during and after pregnancy this is a severe case of anemia she don't need
00:38:33coddling lady i know how to take care of my wife no you don't you are selfish
00:38:41and rude and contemptuous and you can't see the forest for the trees doc owens is trying to save
00:38:48your wife's life she's dying you get her over to the clinic and you beg doc owens for more of that
00:38:57tonic don't talk to me like that i'll talk to you anyway i won't get her to the clinic
00:39:08you better pray to the merciful and good lord that she doesn't slam the door in your ungrateful face
00:39:16i gave you a double dose so do not take any more today no ma'am starting tomorrow morning take two
00:39:37teaspoons every morning and if you don't get your strength back in four days get back in here
00:39:46i'd like to apologize the last time we spoke i lost my temper
00:39:52what'll owe you for the tonic only that you allow her to keep taking it we don't need no charity
00:39:57the first one was already paid for this is just a replacement step up
00:40:07yes dear i'm sorry you're sleeping well not anymore
00:40:26my apprentice wants to court lillian his name is joshua
00:40:31i told him i'd think about it well then think don't think too long lillian's growing up
00:40:42i'm having a hard time with it you're having a hard time letting her grow up
00:40:47just try to protect her i don't think she needs protection from joshua
00:40:51he's a very nice young man that's all you have to say about it good night sweetheart
00:41:01all right tomorrow i'll give joshua my permission to court lill
00:41:22i don't think i don't know about your little excursion with annie this town is filled with
00:41:25gossips can't keep a secret for more than five minutes it's a pretty little town sykeston i can
00:41:32see why you like it here may i ask why you feel the need to go against every instruction i have for
00:41:38annie i don't deliberately go against your word we just disagree about how to treat her this isn't a
00:41:46competition mary if a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia i wouldn't dream of telling you how
00:41:52to treat them that's your business babies are my business have been for 30 years it's just there's
00:42:00been so many new advancements sometimes the old ways are best annie may have a serious condition
00:42:07which could be fatal to both her and the baby are you sure of course i'm not sure but i'm not taking
00:42:11any chances so it's true what they say that doctors only practice medicine
00:42:20this conversation obviously isn't getting this anywhere
00:42:25so annie tells me you're barren or uh or having trouble anyway i don't think that's any of your
00:42:31concern i see this problem a lot if you want i could give you some remedies that are guaranteed to
00:42:37work i know how it's done mary i don't think there's anything wrong with you so what do you
00:42:42think is the problem you're too high strung folks worry too much about work family or whether or not they
00:42:50can have a baby then years go by and nothing happens then one day they decide to stop trying and before
00:42:58you know it they find their with child so your sage advice for me is to relax read a book before you go to bed
00:43:08take some deep breath and before you know it i'll be back to deliver your little one i'll make sure i try that
00:43:28every baby boy needs his own blanket don't you agree yes i do
00:43:48i'm gonna head to the shop for a few hours i'll be back in time for supper don't you ever take time
00:43:53off oh the good book says that a man who doesn't work doesn't deserve to eat i ain't got a lot of
00:43:58work to do we just thought you'd have more time off once you hired an apprentice and i do now i'm only
00:44:02two weeks behind instead of six
00:44:07willian you look lovely where are you headed off to joshua and i are having a picnic you enjoy yourself
00:44:13and please tell joshua that we said hello i will you be back in time for supper now no exceptions i will
00:44:19i promise bye everyone bye dear
00:44:38i love it the sea is everything covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe its breath is pure and
00:44:43healthy it is an immense desert where man is never lonely for he feels life stirring on all sides
00:44:49the sea is the only embodiment of the supernatural and wonderful existence
00:44:53it is nothing but love and emotion this is the living infinite as one of your poets has said
00:45:00i've been reading for almost two hours you must be bored i don't think i can ever get bored listening
00:45:05do you talk you're just saying that no i'm not i swear it's just i'd like this captain nemo if he
00:45:13weren't holding his friends hostage all the time i can't let them go and they might tell the world who
00:45:17he is 20 000 leagues is an allegory it's about personal freedom nemo means nobody in lat and he's
00:45:23invisible to the world and wants to keep it that way you're brilliant you know that i don't know that
00:45:36lee you working today
00:45:40you work harder than any man i know well i can't let the customers down besides it gives me thinking time
00:45:47anything that you'd like to share with your pastor this is a lot of rumbling around in my head like a
00:45:53marble sometimes it helps to speak it out loud talking to yourself only gets the answer you're
00:45:59looking for i just can't figure lillian out i'm trying to be a good father to her our children grow up
00:46:07start spreading their wings the father has to be aware of that and try to grow with his child yeah
00:46:16belinda tolerates more than i do she's a mother the good lord gave them the patience of joe when it
00:46:22comes to raising their children he shortchanged fathers in that area yeah yeah
00:46:34i really wish you would get some rest i feel fine looks like someone may have been wrong about my
00:46:40condition perhaps so if things improve with lee he says he isn't bothered but i still sense that
00:46:50he's disappointed we can't have a baby well maybe you're just being overly sensitive and you think
00:46:55that he's disappointed maybe you know i'm starting to think that maybe she regrets marrying me
00:47:02now lee that is just plain nonsense she's proud as a peacock that she married you maybe
00:47:09have you spoken to her about it in a roundabout way of course she says i'm wrong
00:47:14still she seems kind of distant lately she's got something on her mind most women do when they get
00:47:21like that you know we're uh trying to have a baby so far no luck you have to have faith
00:47:32sometimes it's hard river talk to her about your feelings
00:47:40i'd best be getting home this is dave so give me an earful if i'm late for supper
00:47:44and myself included well i see you didn't need my help putting supper on the table you're taking
00:47:58a nap we just wanted you to be able to rest i'll rest enough when i'm dead give me that knife before
00:48:05you cut yourself so do you miss your family i do my pa's a farmer back in pennsylvania you wanted
00:48:19more for me than to spend my entire life plowing fields so said if i got good enough maybe i can
00:48:24find some work in philadelphia sounds like he cares about you a lot yeah my family's pretty close
00:48:30it's kind of strange though you know being out here all by myself i have three sisters and two
00:48:37brothers and not a moment of peace back at the boarding house i got nothing but quiet i know what
00:48:41you mean i mostly grew up in an orphanage until mom and pa adopted me when i was 10. i'd spent so
00:48:48long in a room with other kids i couldn't wait to have a room of my own now i miss having someone to
00:48:53talk to yeah me do don't i so tell me something how'd you ever find a place like this anyway
00:49:06i stumbled across it by accident while riding one day that's so far off the main roads no one really
00:49:10comes out here i brought some of my old stuff and now it's where i come to be alone i can see why
00:49:18captain nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape this reminds me of it
00:49:25well the timber still seems i wouldn't do that oh
00:49:32not as sound as you might think you're probably right i think it's best we pack up
00:49:42well i'm happy to see you and mary are getting along
00:49:45hmm you know her fertility advice to me was to relax and read a book before bed
00:49:52did you try it of course not she's been doing this longer than we've been alive
00:49:57i can't believe you annie watson you've spent three years in medical school five years practicing
00:50:03medicine and you're gonna believe that woman's folk magic it's rubbish plain and simple we ask people
00:50:08to believe in things they don't understand and they do because they have trust and faith in us
00:50:14just like they have faith in the lord okay it is not the same thing and we're talking about mary
00:50:18here why do you have such a hard time believing in mary's ways okay mary is a lovely woman but you
00:50:24have to admit she's a little touch in the head she doesn't like me any more than i like her really
00:50:31the other day at the general store mary defended you to the ends of the earth what are you talking about
00:50:36the man with the anemic wife the one that you said was such a success story mary is the reason
00:50:41that he brought her back to you that's why lloyd mcqueen brought his wife back to me mary unloaded on
00:50:47him like a tornado spoke up for you and just plain made him cower
00:50:54i'm open let's go

01:01:35so
01:01:39All right, whoa.
01:01:47Whoa.
01:01:56Whoa.
01:02:00Have you seen Lillian?
01:02:01No, why?
01:02:02Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:02:03She's been missing all afternoon.
01:02:05We got in an argument at the shop over Mr. Owens,
01:02:07and she stormed off.
01:02:08Said you were the only one who understands her.
01:02:10We were hoping she'd run up 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.
01:02:20It's worse this time.
01:02:41I feel like I could faint.
01:02:43Okay, okay.
01:02:43Let's get her inside.
01:02:45It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:48Okay, we'll be trying to get...
01:02:48Oh, my God.
01:03:18How much further?
01:03:24It's just up ahead.
01:03:33How are you feeling?
01:03:35I'm really not as lighted as 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.
01:03:48Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:03:54Whoa.
01:04:20Was it like this 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.
01:04:29Come on.
01:04:29Let's go.
01:04:31Lil!
01:04:33Lil!
01:04:41It's right up there.
01:04:42I see her.
01:04:46Lil!
01:04:50Lil!
01:04:51Give me a hand with this.
01:04:53One, two, three.
01:04:58We got it.
01:05:00Lil.
01:05:01Lil.
01:05:03Lil.
01:05:04Come on.
01:05:05Talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:05Come on.
01:05:12Pa?
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:15I'm here, Ronnie.
01:05:17Just take it easy.
01:05:19Just stay down, all right?
01:05:23We're going to get you out of here.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:25Come on.
01:05:27Come on.
01:05:27How's Lillian?
01:05:49A few cuts and 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.
01:06:03At 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.
01:06:14Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:18True miracles.
01:06:19Are you still fretting about the baby-making?
01:06:22I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:26Give it up if you want.
01:06:28But I'm telling you, the shine in your hair is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:35You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:36It doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:38It only matters what you believe.
01:06:40What do you mean?
01:06:41Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:44It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:50I'm sorry I doubted you.
01:06:53You 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.
01:07:06That's a promise.
01:07:06That's a promise.
01:07:14Late night tonight.
01:07:17Everyone'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.
01:07:41Hmm.
01:07:48Doc.
01:07:50I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:54Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:58And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage.
01:08:00You need a good home.
01:08:01You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of our home?
01:08:06I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:09Always have been.
01:08:10Always will be.
01:08:11Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:18Yeah.
01:08:20Yeah, I like the sunrise.
01:08:25I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:28I love you, too.
01:08:31Good night.
01:08:32Oh, all right.
01:08:34You can read your book now?
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:35All right.
01:08:38I'll go to sleep.
01:08:48I'm sure I can't help you read it or...
01:08:50No.
01:08:51All right.
01:08:51Shouldn't you be in bed?
01:09:03My ball and chain let me come downstairs.
01:09:07She has her mind set on going to the ice cream social.
01:09:10What if I find a shady, comfortable place to just sit and eat ice cream?
01:09:14You are not going to the social.
01:09:16I am a doctor.
01:09:17I vote yes.
01:09:18Well, that's one vote for Dr. Annie and one vote for the midwife.
01:09:22I guess you've got the tie-breaking vote, Doc.
01:09:25I'm sorry, Annie.
01:09:29I'm going to have to side with the midwife.
01:09:31But I love ice cream.
01:09:33Then I'll send you some.
01:09:34It's not the same.
01:09:35How do I know you're not going to sneak out when we're gone?
01:09:37Don't give it a second thought, Doc.
01:09:40This old ball and chain will be sitting right here like a prison warden.
01:09:44You're both against me.
01:09:45That's right.
01:09:46Read your book and pout.
01:09:48Don't you look beautiful?
01:10:03Except for this.
01:10:04I don't know who will even notice that.
01:10:06Even Joshua.
01:10:07Especially Joshua.
01:10:09Thanks for telling Joshua you 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.
01:10:18That's very romantic.
01:10:19Must be from all the books I read.
01:10:22Pa.
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.
01:10:38Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:11:05No, thank you.
01:11:06No, thank you, Joshua.
01:11:14Hey, partner.
01:11:15How's your ice cream?
01:11:17Doc Owens, can we talk?
01:11:20Lloyd, I believe you know my husband Lee.
01:11:23Lloyd.
01:11:24I want to thank you.
01:11:26Mabel's as different as night and day.
01:11:28It's all I can do to keep up with her.
01:11:30Well, you do look like a brand new person.
01:11:32I've had a lot more energy.
01:11:34I still need some extra sleep in the afternoons.
01:11:36I'm getting stronger every day.
01:11:37Well, the best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed to receive with a joyful spirit.
01:11:43It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:45Well, I mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:51Thanks 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.
01:12:02There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:07Have a good day.
01:12:08Wow.
01:12:12That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:17You'd like some ice cream?
01:12:19I'd love some.
01:12:32Oh!
01:12:32Oh!
01:12:38I got Lee's telegrams.
01:12:39Where's Annie?
01:12:39The 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!
01:12:53You look beautiful.
01:12:55Say, you look handsome.
01:12:59I still can't believe it.
01:13:01Can't believe what?
01:13:03I bet I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:08It's very sweet of you to stay, Joshua.
01:13:23Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:25Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:27Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:29Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:31Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:32All right.
01:13:33All right.
01:13:33All right.
01:13:33Melinda!
01:13:43John Goins!
01:13:44I need you!
01:13:46Whoa!
01:13:47Whoa!
01:13:51Melinda!
01:13:51Peter!
01:13:52It's Annie.
01:13:52You've got to come quick.
01:13:55Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:13:59Yeah!
01:13:59Yeah!
01:13:59Yeah!
01:14:00Stand back!
01:14:00Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:11She's had a seizure.
01:14:12I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete, what's the best way down here?
01:14:18There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:20Dear Lord, please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:36Amen.
01:14:38Amen.
01:14:39Thank you, Lee.
01:14:41You're welcome.
01:14:42Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:50Peter, he's waiting downstairs.
01:15:01Right.
01:15:03It is Eclipsia.
01:15:05I'm afraid so.
01:15:08Please 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.
01:15:40That baby has to come out if we're to save it.
01:15:43Even 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?
01:15:56I did one once at a hospital in Boston.
01:15:59But I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:16:02And there wasn't any clamsy involved.
01:16:05Is there no other choice?
01:16:08Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:16:10Well 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.
01:16:33Doesn't 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?
01:16:48Glass of water.
01:16:48A glass of water.
01:16:48What's up?
01:16:50Oh, my God.
01:16:56Oh, grab my Lord.
01:17:01I have it here.
01:17:03Oh, my God.
01:17:05Oh, Lord.
01:17:05Oh, my God.
01:17:07Oh, yeah.
01:17:08Oh, yeah.
01:17:09Oh, yeah.
01:17:10Oh, go, go, go.
01:17:16Oh, God.
01:17:16Oh, God.
01:17:17Oh, I have no idea.
01:17:17Oh, God.
01:17:18Our temperature is slightly raised, but our heartbeat and our breathing are normal.
01:17:29No contractions yet.
01:17:30It doesn't seem to be working.
01:17:32It's never taken this long.
01:17:34Let's just give it a little more time.
01:17:37We could lose Annie and the baby.
01:17:40Do you have everything here that you need to do a cesarean delivery?
01:17:48What about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:57I'm going to make some tea.
01:17:59Do you like a cup?
01:18:00No, thank you.
01:18:15Any news?
01:18:17Nothing yet.
01:18:19I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:40You'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.
01:18:54It's all right.
01:18:55It's all right.
01:18:56Keep breathing.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:59Good.
01:19:23Congratulations, Uncle Peter.
01:19:24She's so beautiful.
01:19:31I've delivered hundreds of babies, but I've never seen one this...
01:19:37Perfect.
01:19:39And I'm not just saying that because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:42I thought she was a boy.
01:19:43She carried like a boy.
01:19:47We live and learn, don't we, Doc?
01:19:49We sure do.
01:19:50Thank you both for being here.
01:19:52There's no other place we'd rather be.
01:19:54It's okay if I come in.
01:20:05Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:13Can I hold her?
01:20:14Come see.
01:20:44Hey, you got that, Bella?
01:20:49What about your present?
01:20:51Present?
01:20:53These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:56When I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:21:00Well, the way you went through 20,000 links, I figured you'd use a few more.
01:21:03Oh, you think so?
01:21:07I should probably get going.
01:21:09Okay. Will I see you later?
01:21:11Surest, this is one fine day.
01:21:27Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter, I could use a little help in here.
01:21:31I'm coming.
01:21:35Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us and the love which envelops us.
01:21:40May we always strive to walk the way you like and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:47Amen.
01:21:58Hey, are you all right?
01:22:00I'm fine. Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:03I've gotten so used to you being at the house, it's going to be too quiet when we're gone.
01:22:06Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:10I think it's time we go home.
01:22:12I'm going to miss you so very much.
01:22:14And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:21What are you doing out here?
01:22:23Oh, I was just getting some fresh air, talking to Annie.
01:22:26You're going to miss her, aren't you?
01:22:26Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:32Let's enjoy her while we can.
01:22:43Thank you very much, Link.
01:22:44It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:45And Belinda.
01:22:47I can never thank you enough.
01:22:48Well, I wish I could take all the credit, but I had some expert help.
01:22:53This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:56I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:59Me too.
01:23:00All aboard, folks!
01:23:01We're burning daylight!
01:23:03I think it's about that time.
01:23:05Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:07Of course.
01:23:07Bye, you two.
01:23:19Bye.
01:23:32There you go.
01:23:35Easy now.
01:23:37All right, take her easy there.
01:23:42Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:47How do I think you're married?
01:23:49Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:54I learned a lot from you.
01:23:56And I from you.
01:23:57I may bring them into the world, but you keep them alive and kicking once they're here.
01:24:03Now, if you ever need a good midwife, you know where to find me.
01:24:07Oh.
01:24:18Oh, young man, I'm going to need a hand here.
01:24:25All right.
01:24:26Here we go.
01:24:27Wait a minute.
01:24:28One, two, three.
01:24:28Easy.
01:24:29Oh.
01:24:29Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:34Well, Commodore, are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:37I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:40Yes, ma'am.
01:24:41Yeah, get up.
01:24:44Get up.
01:24:44Where are you and Mary whispering to, Jenna?
01:25:01I was just telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:03You mean?
01:25:10Mm-hmm.
01:25:13Are you sure?
01:25:14I'm a doctor.
01:25:15I know a pregnant woman when I see one, especially when I am one.
01:25:22Hey.
01:25:24We're going to have a baby.
01:25:26Baby?
01:25:29We're going to have a baby.
01:25:32Lillian Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:34Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:36Yes, ma'am.
01:25:37Joshua Coyle, don't just stand there and gawk.
01:25:42You've got a job to do.
01:25:44Yes, ma'am.
01:25:47I've got patients to attend to and baby plans to make.
01:25:53Now, wait up.
01:25:55Now, wait up a bit.
01:25:59How far along are you?
01:26:02Now, I'm serious.
01:26:04Only God's 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, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl.
01:26:12What do you think?
01:26:13Oh, that's very pretty.
01:26:14Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
01:26:16What do you think?
01:26:17All right, I'll hold on.
01:26:18I'll get the floor for you.
01:26:19Oh, wait.
01:26:20Oh, my goodness.
01:26:21Take it easy.
01:26:21Oh, stop.
