Short filmTranscript
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, 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!
00:00:41Wait a minute.
00:00:42Not a good time.
00:00:54Come on, Joe!
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, about five months ago.
00:01:32Your mouth, please.
00:01:39Dums are very pale, Mabel.
00:01:41You haven't noticed when you look in the mirror?
00:01:42I'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?
00:01:59Well, 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.
00:02:10You just don't trust doctors.
00:02:12Not since his sister died.
00:02:13Is there a tonic I can take for this anemia?
00:02:17There 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.
00:02:32Take two spoonfuls twice a day and come and see me in a week.
00:02:38It's very important that my coming to see you is kept private.
00:02:41What goes on between a doctor and a patient is always very private.
00:02:56Hello, Lee.
00:02:57Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:59Leaving 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.
00:03:09Um, aren'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.
00:03:19I'll leave you to your work, Lee.
00:03:22Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:23Take me to the doctor.
00:03:27All finished?
00:03:29It'll be $2 for the doctor and 50 cents for the medicine.
00:03:39I'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.
00:03:56Tell her all these are, we've got medicine.
00:04:01I've got a last.
00:04:02Very good to see you.
00:04:03Oh, thank you.
00:04:05Now you take care of yourself.
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:08All right, pal.
00:04:11Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:18I 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!
00:04:31Settle down now.
00:04:32Settle.
00:04:33Settle.
00:04:34Easy now.
00:04:37I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:42Come on.
00:04:43That was a close one.
00:04:53Aunt Annie's here.
00:04:59Aunt Annie!
00:05:00Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:02No.
00:05:04She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:06Sure.
00:05:07She looks very round.
00:05:09I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:11Oh, let me get that.
00:05:13Oh, it's fine.
00:05:15If anyone treats me like a China doll, I'm not going to break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:20Me too.
00:05:21I 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.
00:05:34But you're mine 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.
00:05:48Anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:51The town loves Mom.
00:05:52They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:54Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:59Well, how about I start cleaning and Lee will help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:02All right, sir.
00:06:19It's good having Annie here.
00:06:20It is.
00:06:23She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:24I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:27Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:30I'm right here.
00:06:31Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:34I'm just tired.
00:06:36You sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:39What's wrong?
00:06:41I'm not pregnant.
00:06:43Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:45We've tried for so long.
00:06:47We have more than we can handle it, Lill.
00:06:48Oh, I know, but...
00:06:52It's just that when Annie found out the news, it made me want a baby of her own even more.
00:06:59And...
00:07:00Now that she's staying with us...
00:07:04No.
00:07:08We are going to have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:12And all good things come in God's time, and...
00:07:15Maybe 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 dishes.
00:07:35Hmm?
00:07:48I guess I'd best believe him now.
00:07:50Peter, please be careful.
00:07:52Yes.
00:07:53My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:56I love you.
00:07:57I love you, too.
00:08:03Bye, ladies.
00:08:04Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:05We'll see you.
00:08:07Step up!
00:08:08Boy, are you all right?
00:08:19I don't know.
00:08:22Ha!
00:08:22Oh, no!
00:08:25No!
00:08:26Oh, please!
00:08:30Oh, oh, easy!
00:08:33Well, a lot of time, isn't it?
00:08:38Bags?
00:08:39Got it.
00:08:40Check on the team, Mike.
00:08:42Welcome home, darling.
00:08:44Oh.
00:08:45Beautiful.
00:08:46How was the trip?
00:08:48Yeah.
00:08:56You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:08:59Who are you always?
00:09:00Welcome, Saxon.
00:09:01How'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.
00:09:09Well, Saxon's a nice little town.
00:09:11I hope you like it.
00:09:13I expect so.
00:09:14Can I help you with your things?
00:09:15Don't have much.
00:09:18All right.
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.
00:09:25Livery 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.
00:09:51Come on.
00:09:55How was your walk?
00:10:01You're tearing around a 30-pound sack of flour.
00:10:04Slow day?
00:10:05Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone comes in from getting caught on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder.
00:10:12You know, when I was traveling through Selena last month, there was a rash of copperhead snake bites.
00:10:17It felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:20Look, I haven't had anything as exciting as a snake bite in months.
00:10:23You should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve.
00:10:27It's our job as doctors to care about even the most minor illness or affliction.
00:10:31And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:35That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:39Linda, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:42You can tell me anything.
00:10:43You know that.
00:10:43What 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.
00:11:01It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:04Let me finish some things up and we'll get you home.
00:11:06You know, my pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:16You always walk?
00:11:18Well, we've never been riding.
00:11:19You walking to my camp?
00:11:21No.
00:11:23I got a horse to give to Lil Ant.
00:11:25Well, he's still a little green.
00:11:27Pesty.
00:11:28I've been breaking him, getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:33Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:35I know nothing of saddle horses.
00:11:37Only harness problem.
00:11:39I stick with wagons.
00:11:40You'd better pour it.
00:11:43I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:46What happened today?
00:11:48Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:51And that's coming from the doctor, Amy.
00:11:52When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:54My 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.
00:12:01I'm sure it's going to be fine.
00:12:05Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:12And you must be Joshua.
00:12:16Welcome to her home.
00:12:17Very nice to meet you, Mrs. Owens.
00:12:19Uh, that's Dr. Owens.
00:12:22You're a doctor?
00:12:23Yes.
00:12:24As is my best friend, Dr. Annie Watson.
00:12:26It's a pleasure to meet you, Joshua.
00:12:28Ma'am.
00:12:28It's funny.
00:12:30I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:33Allowed?
00:12:34No, I just...
00:12:35And just who would we need permission from?
00:12:37Go easy on him, Lil.
00:12:38He just got here.
00:12:39I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:43Apparently not.
00:12:48That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:49We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:51You'll get used to it.
00:12:52Oh, 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.
00:13:17Miss Owens?
00:13:19Mr. Coyle?
00:13:20I just want you to know...
00:13:23I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:27I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:30Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:34I 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.
00:13:45It's just, well, I'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.
00:14:01I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:03Well, this isn't for school.
00:14:04So you read for fun?
00:14:06I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa let me.
00:14:09Well, all right.
00:14:11I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:17Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:32Nice young man.
00:14:34I hadn't noticed.
00:14:35Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:41Good night, Pa.
00:14:55Come in.
00:14:59How are you?
00:15:01I feel fine.
00:15:05All right?
00:15:13All right?
00:15:14I can't get it.
00:15:17Yeah.
00:15:18Yeah.
00:15:19Can we just let's go?
00:15:22Just.
00:15:24Leave me in a suit.
00:15:25It's okay.
00:15:29He says it's fine.
00:15:32It's in the eastbound.
00:15:33This is...
00:15:36This is my home.
00:15:48What is...
00:15:49...the name?
00:15:52It's not the case.
00:15:53This is my home.
00:16:01This is my home.
00:16:23You have come on.
00:16:34You can go next to God.
00:16:36You have become a place.
00:16:39You will need a place.
00:16:43You are also a place.
00:16:47Baby.
00:16:48She's fine.
00:16:54She's fine.
00:16:55She's fine.
00:16:57Baby.
00:16:58She's fine.
00:17:00She's fine.
00:17:04She's fine.
00:17:06Baby, why don't you?
00:17:08So sorry.
00:17:10No.
00:17:11No.
00:17:12No.
00:17:13Did she have a seizure?
00:17:26No, she has all the other symptoms.
00:17:28Well, I'll telegraph Peter first thing in the morning.
00:17:31Tell him what's happened.
00:17:33And let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:17:36Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:38Well, I'm at it all.
00:17:39Why are his mother?
00:17:40You said she lives in Spartan.
00:17:47Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:49Total rest for you Mrs. Watson in a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:54To being lazy you mean.
00:17:55I cannot just lay around all day.
00:17:57I'm a doctor, remember?
00:17:59But I am your doctor and this is my home.
00:18:01And if it is enclampsia, you know bed rest is called for.
00:18:04Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:06Perhaps.
00:18:07But if not, I won't be sorry later.
00:18:09I love you.
00:18:10I love you too.
00:18:11Prepare for my peach.
00:18:12Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with Aunt Annie?
00:18:26No, you just run along to school.
00:18:28I'll post a note on the clinic and if someone really needs me they know where to find me.
00:18:33Morning ladies.
00:18:34Morning.
00:18:35Bye ma.
00:18:36Have a good day darling.
00:18:37Bye ma.
00:18:38Bye.
00:18:39Bye.
00:18:40That girl kicks up a cloud of dust everywhere she goes.
00:18:43Here you go.
00:18:45Is 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 looked like he could use a few more good meals.
00:18:56Do you have any idea how much I love you?
00:18:58Well, it never hurts to hear.
00:19:04I love you too, Lee Owens.
00:19:06Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:19:08Alright.
00:19:09Have a good day sweet darling.
00:19:24Belinda feels Annie's health as well as the baby's is better served staying here until
00:19:27after the delivery.
00:19:29I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:32Lee Owens.
00:19:33Well, that's pretty shady.
00:19:34Well.
00:19:43Dr. McQueen.
00:19:44Sorry, 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 gotta go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:55What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:57Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:19:59Give her that medicine.
00:20:01I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:03A doctor killed my sister with tonic.
00:20:05I don't know the details of your sister's death, but there's no magic to it.
00:20:10Your wife had a baby a month ago and she has a very serious medical condition.
00:20:14Maybe if you weren't so hard headed, you would realize that.
00:20:17Now my advice-
00:20:18I don't need your mouth nor your advice and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:22Doctors aren't worth a-
00:20:23Who's in the house?
00:20:24Are 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, but he's still a child of our maker.
00:20:39He has no compassion for his wife's condition.
00:20:41Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times and lose sight of the compassion we should have for others?
00:20:47There I go preaching again.
00:20:49Oh, it's alright. I suppose I needed to hear it.
00:20:52Let me hear it.
00:20:53I'll see you in church, Belinda.
00:20:55Good day.
00:20:56That's it. Steady blows.
00:20:57Alright.
00:20:58Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:01Must run in the family.
00:21:02I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence, but she was adopted. Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:11Really?
00:21:12Huh.
00:21:13I never would have known. I mean, she and Mrs. I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:18Is that a fact?
00:21:19Well, yeah, I mean, it's just Lillian is very pretty.
00:21:20Yeah, I know she's pretty.
00:21:21Ready?
00:21:22Come on.
00:21:23I know.
00:21:24Come on, pal.
00:21:25Come on, pal.
00:21:26Come on.

00:21:29Come on, pal.
00:21:30Go ahead, keep on up.
00:21:31Come on, pal.
00:21:32Come on.
00:21:33No, pal.
00:21:34No, pal, pal.
00:21:35I've been around.
00:21:36You know what I mean?
00:21:37I'm in love with the family.
00:21:38Come on.
00:21:39Oh, pal, pal.
00:21:41Yeah.
00:21:42I know she's pretty.
00:21:43Hey, boy.
00:21:44Hey, boy.
00:21:45Hello, pal.
00:21:46Hey, boy.
00:21:47i'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
00:22:15kicking 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 wives
00:22:32tale there's no medical merit to it say what you want but when peter's sister was pregnant
00:22:37mary was concerned because she was carrying so far out in front she said it would be a breached birth
00:22:42and she was right one lucky guess and she's got you believing made-up stories
00:22:47goodness he's getting his exercise today you want to feel that's all right come on belinda
00:22:54don't be nervous
00:22:55it's so strange i never thought i'd be a mother
00:23:02now it suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world
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 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
00:23:36let's get supper ready lee and lillian will be home soon
00:23:44i'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
00:24:14she keeps insisting she feels fine
00:24:18i think i've heard that before
00:24:22you 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
00:24:56you didn't trick me into anything
00:24:57i married you because i fell in love with you leones
00:25:01and if lillian and joshua had taken interest in one another
00:25:05i don't think it's our place to stand in their way
00:25:07besides telling lillian she can't have some things
00:25:10like daring to try to stop her
00:25:13i get your point
00:25:17i don't want to get in the way of her happiness
00:25:20still

00:28:42that's assuming your diagnosis is correct
00:28:45is that singing?
00:28:50i would know that voice anywhere
00:28:52that's mary
00:28:53your mother-in-law?
00:28:54what reason does she have to be here?
00:28:56mary doesn't need a reason to do anything
00:28:58says our god's couple's on never failing
00:29:03prevailing
00:29:04prevailing
00:29:08well this must be it
00:29:12oh jeez
00:29:15thank you my good man
00:29:18and you
00:29:18have a blessed day
00:29:20And you must be the infamous Doc Owen.
00:29:25Mary Watson, oh, do you know that already?
00:29:30Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:33Would you be a dear and bring my things along?
00:29:42Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:44Where else would you expect me to be, oh, my little lamb?
00:29:48But didn't you get the telegraph from Melinda's husband?
00:29:50I did, that's why I'm here.
00:29:52I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend,
00:29:55but I certainly wasn't going to miss the birth of my first grandson.
00:30:00I've missed you.
00:30:02Oh, it's darker than the inside of a cow in here.
00:30:05Yes, it is.
00:30:06Oh, please don't do that.
00:30:07What?
00:30:08She's not a mushroom. She needs light.
00:30:11All right, let's sit up so I can get a good look.
00:30:14I'm sorry, what are you doing?
00:30:15I'm getting her upright.
00:30:17If she stays in this bed too long, she'll get a crick in her back
00:30:21and it'll make delivery much more painful.
00:30:23I think it's better that she's on bed rest for the remainder of her term.
00:30:26It's not going to hurt her to sit up.
00:30:29When you've delivered as many babies as I have, you learn a few things.
00:30:33Well, I've been to medical school for years and rest is the proper treatment.
00:30:37You don't learn everything in medical school.
00:30:40That is a matter of opinion and I wholeheartedly disagree.
00:30:43Ladies, I'm not a sack of flour.
00:30:53There I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw.
00:30:58I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night.
00:31:03I expected twins, not triplets.
00:31:07In a blizzard.
00:31:09Oh, the little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:31:13Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:16Women giving births are always an emergency.
00:31:20That's the penalty we pay for Eve eating the apple.
00:31:25It is not a penalty.
00:31:27Wow, Mrs. Watson, you sure got an exciting life.
00:31:29Well, I should probably get you up to your room, Annie.
00:31:33You let that little fella start running your life now,
00:31:36you'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. It's a fact.
00:31:44Honestly, Mary, you can't possibly...
00:31:45Actually, I am a little tired.
00:31:47I'm gonna go to bed.
00:31:49I can manage on my own.
00:31:52Good night, all.
00:31:54Good night, Annie.
00:31:55Rest well, dear.
00:31:56Good night, Annie.
00:31:57Good night, Annie.
00:31:58Good night, Annie.
00:32:02There is no way to tell whether...
00:32:04Oh, I think it's time we all settle down.
00:32:06Huh?
00:32:07We'll have a full day tomorrow.
00:32:14Thank you for dinner, Dr. Holmes.
00:32:16Joshua, William told us that you came to her rescue.
00:32:21Our mother and I both appreciate it.
00:32:23It was my pleasure, sir.
00:32:25Thank you again.
00:32:29I'll walk you out.
00:32:30Aren't they the most adorable couple?
00:32:45So tell me, how was Captain Nemo this evening?
00:32:49When I left him, he was exploring the ruins of Atlantis,
00:32:51although I can't say for sure what he does when I'm not looking.
00:32:54I never met a girl who made a book sound so interesting.
00:32:58You can borrow it if you like.
00:32:59No, no, I'm not sure if I'm sold on Nemo just yet.
00:33:03Maybe you could read some of it to me, though.
00:33:05Just so I can find out if it's my kind of story.
00:33:07I could do that.
00:33:09Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:33:11Maybe on Saturday?
00:33:13We can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:33:15I think I know just the place.
00:33:19Lee Owens, you are not spying on our only daughter.
00:33:21I'm not spying on her.
00:33:22I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:32Let's see what you got there.
00:33:54Well, you're really improving.
00:33:58Thank you, sir.
00:33:59I'm trying my best to impress you.
00:34:02As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:34:07Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you, maybe, uh, Lily and I...
00:34:14You want permission to court Lily, right?
00:34:18Yes, sir.
00:34:20Well, I don't want her to distract you 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.
00:34:27Well, I don't think about it, all right?
00:34:32I understand.
00:34:34Meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:38Lily wants his order by noon.
00:34:40Yes, sir.
00:34:42You're gonna be late opening your clinic.
00:34:45I don't feel comfortable leaving Annie here all alone,
00:34:47and I certainly don't feel comfortable with her being out of bed this much.
00:34:50You know, I wish the two of you wouldn't talk about me as if I wasn't sitting right here.
00:34:55Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:57You must be so frustrated, pooped up inside all the time.
00:35:02I will be here with her all day.
00:35:05You tend to your patience and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:12If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:17Have a nice day.
00:35:18Praise the Lord, we're free.
00:35:24Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:29We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:31Oh, I'm coming to town.
00:35:35Oh!
00:35:37Oh!
00:35:44Doc Owens, can I talk to you?
00:35:46Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:50I only have a minute.
00:35:52I left Lloyd at the general store, said I was running to the butcher.
00:35:55What can I do for you, Mabel?
00:35:56Doc, I feel terrible.
00:35:57This sickness, it's just getting worse.
00:36:00I'm dizzy all the time and I can barely pick up the youngins.
00:36:03That's because your anemia is getting worse.
00:36:04Your body needs iron.
00:36:06You're only going to get sicker.
00:36:07What can I do to make it better?
00:36:09I already told you.
00:36:10Vegetables are the tonic.
00:36:12If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:15I tried to take the tonic. Really, I did.
00:36:17Even started to feel a little stronger.
00:36:19And then Lloyd found it and you know the rest.
00:36:23I certainly do. He threw a bottle at me.
00:36:25I'm sorry for that. Really, I am.
00:36:26He was just upset. He didn't mean anything by it.
00:36:29He's a wonderful husband and a father.
00:36:32Maybe, but I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
00:36:39Good day, Mrs. Moy.
00:36:40Good day, Mrs. Moy.
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.
00:37:08She isn't happy.
00:37:12She's been trying to have a baby.
00:37:14And Melinda just feels discouraged.
00:37:17Me showing up in my condition and staying till the baby comes.
00:37:21I think it's just another painful reminder.
00:37:24Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:37:27It's baby trouble she's got.
00:37:29I've surely got the cure.
00:37:32How about a sugary treat?
00:37:33I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:38It isn't here yet.
00:37:40It's been over a week.
00:37:41You said it'd be here by now.
00:37:43The freight line lost the shipping order.
00:37:45There's nothing I can do about it.
00:37:47There's something I could do if there was another general store within ten miles of here.
00:37:51It'll be here within a week.
00:37:53I'm here, Lloyd.
00:37:54What took you so long?
00:37:58I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:59There was a little bit of a line.
00:38:01There's always an excuse.
00:38:02Let's get out of here.
00:38:03I got fences in there before sundown.
00:38:05She's just feeling poorly or late.
00:38:18She's got a newborn and five youngins.
00:38:21Says it wears her out.
00:38:22You think a mother doesn't work?
00:38:26I've seen this a bunch during and after pregnancy.
00:38:30This is a severe case of anemia.
00:38:32She don't need coddling, lady.
00:38:33I know how to take care of my wife.
00:38:36No, you don't.
00:38:38You are selfish and rude and contemptuous and 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.
00:38:52You get her over to the clinic and you beg Doc Owens for more of that tonic.
00:38:58Don't talk to me, Lark.
00:38:59I'll talk to you anyway I want.
00:39:02Get her to the clinic.
00:39:03You better pray to the merciful and good Lord that she doesn't slam the door in your
00:39:15ungrateful face.
00:39:16Amen.
00:39:17Amen.
00:39:18Amen.
00:39:26Your home's dead now.
00:39:27I want her.
00:39:31I gave you a double dose so do not take any more today.
00:39:35No, ma'am.
00:39:35Starting tomorrow morning, take two teaspoons every morning.
00:39:38And if you don't get your strength back in four days, get back in here.
00:39:46I'd like to apologize.
00:39:49The last time we spoke, I lost my temper.
00:39:51What do I 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.
00:39:58This is just a replacement.
00:40:01Step up!
00:40:02Yes, dear.
00:40:21I'm sorry.
00:40:21You're sleeping?
00:40:22Well, not anymore.
00:40:23My apprentice wants to court Lillian.
00:40:29His name is Joshua.
00:40:32I told him I'd think about it.
00:40:35Well, then think.
00:40:38Don't think too long.
00:40:40Lillian's grown up.
00:40:41I'm having a hard time with it.
00:40:43You're having a hard time letting her grow up.
00:40:46I was trying to protect her.
00:40:48I don't think she needs protection from Joshua.
00:40:51He's a very nice young man.
00:40:53That's all you have to say about her?
00:40:56Good night, sweetheart.
00:41:03Alright.
00:41:05Tomorrow, I'll give Joshua my permission to court Lillian.
00:41:18I 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.
00:41:34May I ask why you feel the need to go against every instruction I have for Annie?
00:41:38I don't deliberately go against your word.
00:41:42We just disagree about how to treat her.
00:41:45This isn't a competition, Mary.
00:41:46If a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia,
00:41:50I wouldn't dream of telling you how to treat them.
00:41:53That's your business.
00:41:55Babies are my business.
00:41:57Have been for 30 years.
00:41:59It's just there's been so many new advancements.
00:42:02Sometimes the old ways are best.
00:42:05Annie may have a serious condition which could be fatal to both her and the baby.
00:42:09Are you sure?
00:42:10Of course I'm not sure, but I'm not taking any chances.
00:42:12So it's true what they say that doctors only practice medicine.
00:42:20This conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere.
00:42:24So Annie tells me you're barren.
00:42:26Or, uh, or having trouble anyway.
00:42:29I don't think that's any of your concern.
00:42:31I 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?
00:42:43You're too high strung.
00:42:45Folks worry too much about work, family, or whether or not they can have a baby.
00:42:52Then years go by and nothing happens.
00:42:55Then one day, they decide to stop trying.
00:42:57And before you know it, they find they're with child.
00:43:01So your sage advice for me is to relax.
00:43:06Read a book before you go to bed.
00:43:08Take some deep breaths.
00:43:11And before you know it, I'll be back to deliver your little one.
00:43:15I'll make sure I try that.
00:43:16Every baby boy needs his own blanket.
00:43:38Don't you agree?
00:43:39Yes, I do.
00:43:46I'm going to head to the shop for a few hours.
00:43:49I'll be back in time for supper.
00:43:51Don't you ever take time off?
00:43:53Oh, the good book says that a man who doesn't work doesn't deserve to eat.
00:43:57I ain't got a lot of work to do.
00:43:58We just thought you'd have more time off once you hired an apprentice.
00:44:01And I do.
00:44:01Now I'm only two weeks behind instead of six.
00:44:07Lillian, you look lovely.
00:44:08Where are you headed off to?
00:44:10Joshua and I are having a picnic.
00:44:11You enjoy yourself and please tell Joshua that we said hello.
00:44:15I will.
00:44:16You'll be back in time for supper now.
00:44:18No exceptions.
00:44:18I will.
00:44:19I promise.
00:44:21Bye, everyone.
00:44:22Bye, dear.
00:44:37I 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.
00:44:43It 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 a supernatural and wonderful existence.
00:44:53It is nothing but love and emotion.
00:44:55This is the living infinite, as one of your poets has said.
00:44:58I've been reading for almost two hours.
00:45:02You must be bored.
00:45:03I don't think I can ever get bored listening to you talk.
00:45:06You're just saying that.
00:45:08No.
00:45:08I'm not.
00:45:09I swear.
00:45:10It's just...
00:45:11I'd like this Captain Nemo if he weren't holding his friends hostage all the time.
00:45:15Well, I can't let them go and they might tell the world who he is.
00:45:18Twenty thousand leagues is an allegory.
00:45:19It's about personal freedom.
00:45:21Nemo means nobody in Latin.
00:45:22He's invisible to the world and wants to keep it that way.
00:45:25You're brilliant.
00:45:26You know that?
00:45:27I am brilliant.
00:45:36Lee?
00:45:37You working today?
00:45:40You work harder than any man I know.
00:45:43Well, 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?
00:45:51This is a lot of rumbling around in my head like a marble.
00:45:54Sometimes it helps to speak it out loud.
00:45:57Talking to yourself only gets the answer you're looking for.
00:46:00I just can't figure Lillian out.
00:46:03I'm trying to be a good father to her.
00:46:06Our children grow up, start spreading their wings.
00:46:10A father has to be aware of that and try to grow with his child.
00:46:15Yeah.
00:46:16Belinda tolerates more than I do.
00:46:18She's a mother.
00:46:19The good Lord gave them the patience of Job when it comes to raising their children.
00:46:23He's short-changed fathers in that area.
00:46:26Yeah.
00:46:28Yeah.
00:46:33I really wish you would get some rest.
00:46:36I feel fine.
00:46:37Looks like someone may have been wrong about my condition.
00:46:41Perhaps.
00:46:45So, 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 and you think that he's disappointed.
00:46:57Maybe.
00:46:57You know, I'm starting to think that maybe she regrets marrying me.
00:47:02Now, Lee, that is just plain nonsense.
00:47:05She's proud as a peacock that she married to you.
00:47:08Maybe.
00:47:09Have you spoken to her about it?
00:47:11In a roundabout way.
00:47:13Of course, she says I'm wrong.
00:47:14Still, she seems kind of distant lately.
00:47:18She's got something on her mind.
00:47:20Most women do when they get like that.
00:47:23You know, we're, uh...
00:47:26Trying to have a baby.
00:47:29So far, no luck.
00:47:31You have to have faith.
00:47:33Sometimes it's hard, River.
00:47:34Talk to her about your feelings.
00:47:40I'd best be getting home.
00:47:42Mrs. Davis will give me an earful if I'm late for supper.
00:47:45And myself included.
00:47:52Well, 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.
00:48:12So, do you miss your family?
00:48:15I do.
00:48:16My pa's a farmer back in Pennsylvania.
00:48:19He wanted more from me than to spend my entire life plowing fields.
00:48:22So, he said if I got good enough, maybe I can find some work in Philadelphia.
00:48:26Sounds like he cares about you a lot.
00:48:28Yeah, my family's pretty close.
00:48:30It's kind of strange, though.
00:48:33You know, being out here all by myself.
00:48:36I have three sisters and two brothers and not a moment apiece.
00:48:38Back at the boarding house, I got nothing but quiet.
00:48:41I know what you mean.
00:48:43I mostly grew up in an orphanage until Ma and Pa adopted me when I was ten.
00:48:47I'd spent so long in a room with other kids, I couldn't wait to have a room of my own.
00:48:52Now I miss having someone to talk to.
00:48:54Yeah, me.
00:48:57I do, don't I?
00:49:00So, tell me something.
00:49:03How'd you ever find a place like this, anyway?
00:49:06I stumbled across it by accident while riding one day.
00:49:08And it's so far off the main roads, no one really comes out here.
00:49:11So, I brought some of my old stuff and now it's where I come to be alone.
00:49:17I can see why.
00:49:18Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape.
00:49:22This reminds me of it.
00:49:25Well, the timber still seems...
00:49:27I wouldn't do that.
00:49:28Whoa!
00:49:31Not as sound as you might think.
00:49:34You're probably right.
00:49:36I 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, five years practicing medicine,
00:50:03and you're going to believe that woman's folk magic?
00:50:05It's rubbish, plain and simple.
00:50:07We ask people to believe in things they don't understand, and they do.
00:50:11Because they have trust and faith in us.
00:50:14Just like they have faith in the Lord.
00:50:15Okay, it is not the same thing, and we're talking about Mary here.
00:50:18Why do you have such a hard time believing in Mary's ways?
00:50:20Okay, Mary is a lovely woman.
00:50:24But you have to admit, she's a little touched on the head.
00:50:27She doesn't like me any more than I like her.
00:50:29Really?
00:50:31The other day at the general store, Mary defended you to the ends of the earth.
00:50:35What are you talking about?
00:50:36The man with the anemic wife?
00:50:38The one that you said was such a success story?
00:50:40Mary is the reason that he brought her back to you.
00:50:43That's why Lloyd McQueen brought his wife back to me?
00:50:46Mary unloaded on him like a tornado.
00:50:48Spoke up for you, and just plain made him cower.
00:50:51Come on.
00:50:55Let's go.
00:50:59Do you have any idea what time it is?
00:51:05Hi, Pa.
00:51:07You were supposed to be home for supper.
00:51:09Joshua and I weren't that hungry, so we decided to stay out a little while longer.
00:51:12Well, it's well past supper.
00:51:13That's more than a little while.
00:51:15Why are you so angry?
00:51:16I thought I could trust your judgment, but apparently I was wrong.
00:51:19What's that supposed to mean?
00:51:20It means you can't spend any more time with Joshua, Quoyle, until I say so.
00:51:24You'll go to school, help your mother at the clinic, and come straight home.
00:51:27For how long?
00:51:28As long as it takes me to trust you again.
00:51:29That's completely unfair.
00:51:31Joshua's only two years older than I am, and no one tells him what to do.
00:51:34No one said the world was fair, young lady.
00:51:37Lil.
00:51:41I was worried about you.
00:51:42Hello, Joshua.
00:52:06Good afternoon, man.
00:52:08Uh, Mr. Owens told me how much trouble I caused the other night.
00:52:14I just wanted to come by and say how sorry I am for keeping Lillian out so late.
00:52:18You needn't place the blame all on yourself.
00:52:20She's old enough to know better.
00:52:22No, I'm still sorry.
00:52:23Ma, I can't find the...
00:52:26bandages.
00:52:30Pa said I can't see you for a while.
00:52:32Pa said you couldn't go out with Joshua.
00:52:35He said nothing about the two of you seeing each other.
00:52:38Thanks, Ma.
00:52:42Well, I have work to do.
00:52:45It was nice to see you, Joshua.
00:52:46There's always room open at the dinner table for you.
00:52:50Thank you, ma'am.
00:52:56I'm sorry to get you into trouble.
00:52:58You didn't do anything wrong, and neither did I.
00:53:00I'm a grown woman, and I don't need my pa deciding how late I can and can't stay out.
00:53:04He's just worried about you is all.
00:53:06Well, he doesn't need to be.
00:53:07There's no need to be crossed, Lillian.
00:53:09I mean, I'll still be here when you get off punishment.
00:53:11I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:14I wanted to return this.
00:53:16I finished it.
00:53:17Already?
00:53:18I just gave it to you.
00:53:19Once I got started, it was hard to quit.
00:53:22I mean, the sun was already up when I finally closed the book.
00:53:24So you stayed up all night just to read about Captain Nemo?
00:53:26Well, I don't think I would have gotten much sleep with or without him.
00:53:33I'll be thinking about you.
00:53:35Me too.
00:53:36Mary?
00:53:41In 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?
00:54:15Before the baby comes?
00:54:16Oh, you'll do fine.
00:54:20And besides, the last thing you need is an old granny midwife gumming up the works.
00:54:27This doesn't have anything to do with the disagreement between you and Belinda, does it?
00:54:31Oh, no, no, no.
00:54:34Truth is, I'm feeling homesick.
00:54:39I miss sleeping in my own bed.
00:54:41And my patients back home don't have a smart lady doctor to take care of them.
00:54:47If you've made your decision, I can't stop you.
00:54:50I would really love for you to stay, though.
00:54:53I want my family here when the baby comes.
00:54:55Belinda is your family, sweetheart.
00:54:59And Peter will be back with you next week.
00:55:02Besides, all of you will be home before long, and somebody's got to get the house ready.
00:55:10I'm going to go home to check on Annie.
00:55:12I shouldn't be long.
00:55:13If there's an emergency, just send them my way, or I'm running, which you're very good at.
00:55:18I will, Ma.
00:55:19And thank you.
00:55:20For what?
00:55:20For understanding about me and Joshua.
00:55:22Believe it or not, I was your age once.
00:55:25I'm not going to keep her from the church social.
00:55:40You may not be able to go with her, but you'll see her there.
00:55:44In the meantime, we have an order to finish.
00:55:46Well, all right.
00:55:49I like your attitude.
00:55:58You're leaving.
00:56:00Time for me to go home.
00:56:01Oh, sorry to hear that.
00:56:03I'm going to see her off into town.
00:56:05Annie, I just don't think it's a good idea for you to be carrying luggage and walking into town.
00:56:09It was my idea, Belinda.
00:56:10And I've been all over this whole territory through my entire pregnancy.
00:56:14I think I can handle a short walk into town.
00:56:16Doc Owens!
00:56:20Danny.
00:56:23Lillian told me you was here.
00:56:25Ma's in labor.
00:56:25Okay.
00:56:26There's a horse and buggy in the barn.
00:56:27Help me hook it up.
00:56:28Yes, ma'am.
00:56:31I trust you weren't walking into town while I'm away.
00:56:34All right, Peach Pie.
00:56:37You get back in the house and stay put.
00:56:40Belinda and I have a baby to deliver.
00:56:42Mrs. Travis is my patient.
00:56:45If you find you don't need me,
00:56:48you have my permission to just shove me out of the way.
00:56:50But if you do,
00:56:52I'm there.
00:56:56Fine, but only because I don't have time to argue with you.
00:57:04Thank you, young man.
00:57:14It'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?
00:57:19No, Doc, the baby.
00:57:21It's like it's stuck,
00:57:21but I can't see the head.
00:57:23I'll see to her.
00:57:24Your mama's gonna be fine.
00:57:28It's a fetal dystocia.
00:57:30A what?
00:57:31The baby's shoulder is stuck.
00:57:32What are you fixing to do with that?
00:57:34We have to get the baby out before it suffocates.
00:57:36We start pulling.
00:57:38We could make things worse.
00:57:40What should we do?
00:57:41Well, if you can't get the baby out from the inside,
00:57:45you'd try it from the outside.
00:57:48All 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.
00:57:57Mrs. Travis, lay down for me.
00:57:59There.
00:57:59Now, we're gonna see if you're stuck and who's not.
00:58:15There.
00:58:15It's gonna be all right.
00:58:36Pa?
00:58:39Pa?
00:58:39He's on delivery.
00:58:48Man, headed home.
00:58:50I'd sure like to go to the ice cream social.
00:58:53I'd sure like to ask you to go with me.
00:58:55So?
00:58:57Your pa said I could see you there.
00:58:59But I can't escort you.
00:59:02Sorry.
00:59:02Sorry.
00:59:02Sorry.
00:59:02Sorry.
00:59:09Joshua.
00:59:21Pa is being so unreasonable.
00:59:24We were late coming home, okay?
00:59:26Don't tell me you're on his side.
00:59:28What's the difference in an hour or so?
00:59:30We got home just fine.
00:59:31He just doesn't trust me.
00:59:33Your pa had no way of knowing whether you were all right
00:59:35when you didn't make it home on time.
00:59:36If you sound just like Pa, Ma's the only one who understands.
00:59:41Lilian, wait a second.
00:59:54Get out!
00:59:54Get out!
00:59:55Get out!
00:59:56Get out!
00:59:57Get out!
01:00:02Get out!
01:00:03Shh!
01:00:03It's a beautiful baby boy, and your wife is fine.
01:00:14Can I see them?
01:00:15Shortly.
01:00:20Well, looks like we got ourselves a baby brother.
01:00:28Isn't he beautiful?
01:00:30He sure is.
01:00:31He sure is.
01:00:31He better be.
01:00:35Leave it to a boy to jam up the works.
01:00:50That's not doctor's work.
01:00:52It doesn't matter who does it, just as long as it gets done.
01:00:55I learned something today that they didn't teach me medical school.
01:01:14Look at him.
01:01:16Look at him.
01:01:21Look at him.
01:01:21Look at him.
01:01:22Look at him.
01:01:22Look at him.
01:01:22Look at him.
01:01:22Look at him.
01:01:23Look at him.
01:01:24All right, whoa, whoa.
01:01:54You seen Lillian?
01:02:00No, why?
01:02:01Well, we thought she might be with you. She's been missing all afternoon.
01:02:04We got in an argument at the shop over Mr. Owens, and she stormed off.
01:02:07Said you were the only one who understands her.
01:02:09We were hoping she'd run off to find you.
01:02:11She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:02:14It's about to get dark outside. If she gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:18I think I know where she is.
01:02:24It's worse this time. I feel like I could faint.
01:02:42Okay, okay, let's get her inside.
01:02:44It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:54How much further?
01:02:56She's just up here.
01:02:57How much further?
01:02:58She's just up here.
01:02:59How much further?
01:03:00She's just up here.
01:03:01She's just up here.
01:03:22How much further?
01:03:23She's just up here.
01:03:31How are you feeling?
01:03:33I'm really not as light at it as before.
01:03:36I like to just go to bed.
01:03:38Let's get you upstairs to a darkened room.
01:03:41Doctor's orders.
01:03:42I'm really sorry about that before.
01:03:43Well just go up there.
01:03:44Ble recuperates some other different birds.
01:03:46They serp kamuimUM.
01:03:47What can you say I did once.
01:03:48Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:04:19Has it liked this before?
01:04:21No, sir.
01:04:22Looks like there is a cave-in.
01:04:25She might be hurt.
01:04:27This is one of her lambs.
01:04:29Come on, let's go.
01:04:30Lil!
01:04:33Lil!
01:04:41It's right up there.
01:04:43It's here.
01:04:46Lil!
01:04:48Give me a hand with this.
01:04:52One, two, three.
01:04:58You got it?
01:04:59Lil!
01:05:01Lil!
01:05:02Lil!
01:05:04Come on, talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:12Pa?
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:14I'm here, Ronnie.
01:05:17Just take it easy.
01:05:19Just stay down, all right?
01:05:22I'm gonna get you out of here.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:25How's Lillian?
01:05:47A few cuts and bruises,
01:05:51but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:55She's out for the night.
01:05:57Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:05:59Give her a couple of days.
01:06:01She'll be right as rain.
01:06:02At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:06:06Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:06:09Ah.
01:06:09This, too, shall pass.
01:06:14Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:18True 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.
01:06:24Give it up if you want.
01:06:27But I'm telling you,
01:06:29the shine in your hair
01:06:32is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:34You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:36It doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:38It only matters what you believe.
01:06:40What 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.
01:06:50I'm sorry I doubted you.
01:06:52You didn't deserve it.
01:06:54The Lord says
01:06:55we are to forgive
01:06:57if we expect to be forgiven.
01:07:00Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning
01:07:03and all is forgiven.
01:07:05That's a promise.
01:07:15Late night tonight.
01:07:17Everyone's worn out.
01:07:19A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:23You know,
01:07:29I think I might
01:07:31read 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
01:07:39after the long day we've all had.
01:07:41Doc.
01:07:43I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:53Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:57And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage.
01:08:00You need a good home.
01:08:01You mean you'll still be happy
01:08:02even if we can't have children of our home?
01:08:04I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:09Always have been.
01:08:10Always will be.
01:08:13Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:15Yeah.
01:08:19Yeah, I like the sunrise.
01:08:25I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:28I love you too.
01:08:30Good night.
01:08:32Oh, all right.
01:08:33You can read your book now.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:37All right.
01:08:40I'll just go to sleep.
01:08:41I'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.
01:09:06She has her mind set on going to the ice cream social.
01:09:09What if I find a shady, comfortable place
01:09:12to just sit and eat ice cream?
01:09:13You are not going to the social.
01:09:16I am a doctor.
01:09:17I vote yes.
01:09:18Well, that's one vote for Dr. Annie
01:09:20and one vote for the midwife.
01:09:22I guess you've got the tie-breaking vote, Doc.
01:09:28I'm sorry, Annie.
01:09:29I'm going to have to side with the midwife.
01:09:31But I love ice cream.
01:09:32Then I'll send you some.
01:09:34It'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.
01:09:39This old ball and chain will be sitting right here
01:09:42like a prison warden.
01:09:44You're both against me.
01:09:45That's right.
01:09:46Read your book and pout.
01:10:00Don't you look beautiful?
01:10:02Except for this.
01:10:04I don't know one will even notice that.
01:10:06Even Joshua?
01:10:07Especially Joshua.
01:10:09Thanks for telling Joshua you can escort me to the social.
01:10:12You're still coming with your mother or not, right?
01:10:14I told him I wanted to walk in with my family
01:10:16and see him from afar.
01:10:17That's very romantic.
01:10:19Must be from all the books I read.
01:10:22Pa.
01:10:25I'm sorry for not making curfew the other night.
01:10:27Oh, no.
01:10:28You were just worried about me.
01:10:30Don't worry about it.
01:10:30You're growing up so fast sometimes I can't keep up with you.
01:10:36Thanks, Pa.
01:10:37Come here.
01:10:38And then he stepped like this.
01:10:56Here you go.
01:11:01Mr. 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?
01:11:19What?
01:11:20Maybe you know my husband, Lee?
01:11:23Good.
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
01:11:39if 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...
01:11:47mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:51Thanks again, Doc.
01:11:52It was my pleasure.
01:11:53And I should be the one
01:11:56to apologize to you, Mabel.
01:11:58I had no right to be cross with you
01:12:00when 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.
01:12:11Wow.
01:12:13That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:16Would you like some ice cream?
01:12:18I'd love some.
01:12:19I got Lee's telegram.
01:12:38Where's Annie?
01:12:39The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:42Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:43I need Belinda now.
01:12:45I want to see Annie.
01:12:47Get Belinda now.
01:12:53You look beautiful.
01:12:55Say, 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,
01:13:05most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:06It's very sweet of you to stay in, Joshua.
01:13:10I'll meet you.
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.
01:13:30Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:32All right.
01:13:33Melinda, John Goins, I need you.
01:13:46Whoa.
01:13:47Whoa.
01:13:50Melinda.
01:13:51Peter.
01:13:52It's Annie.
01:13:52You've got to come quick.
01:13:54Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:13:58Yeah.
01:13:59Yeah.
01:13:59Stand back.
01:14:01Dog.
01:14:02Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:11She's had a seizure.
01:14:12I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete, we're the best way down here.
01:14:18There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:29Dear Lord,
01:14:29please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:36Amen.
01:14:37Amen.
01:14:39Thank you, Lee.
01:14:40You're welcome.
01:14:42Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:43Peter.
01:14:56Peter.
01:14:57He's waiting downstairs.
01:15:00Right.
01:15:03It is eclipsia.
01:15:04I'm afraid so.
01:15:08Please save my baby.
01:15:10You know what you have to do.
01:15:22I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:23What did she mean?
01:15:38You know what has to be done.
01:15:40That baby has to come out if we're to save it.
01:15:43Even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:45That baby is ready.
01:15:47She was talking about a cesarean delivery.
01:15:51Which 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 a clams handballed.
01:16:04Is there no other choice?
01:16:05I don't know if she doesn't go into labors.
01:16:10Well then, we best get that labor going.
01:16:15Hey, hey.
01:16:19What is that?
01:16:21Scotch broom with a little vanilla to help it go down.
01:16:24Women have been using it for centuries.
01:16:26Scotch broom is a weed?
01:16:27A weed the good Lord made.
01:16:30His wonders to perceive.
01:16:32Does it work?
01:16:33Sure is the sunrise.
01:16:34A little bit of this.
01:16:37And we'll have our baby boy in no time.
01:16:45Is there anything else I can do?
01:16:47A glass of water.
01:17:04Our temperature is slightly raised.
01:17:25But our heartbeat and our breathing are normal.
01:17:27No contractions yet.
01:17:30It doesn't seem to be working.
01:17:32It's never taken this long.
01:17:34We should 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?
01:17:45How about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:53I'm going to make some tea.
01:17:59Do you like a cup?
01:18:00No, thank you.
01:18:00Any news?
01:18:16Nothing yet.
01:18:18I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:20You're doing fine, Annie.
01:18:41Just keep breathing.
01:18:43Contractions.
01:18:48Closer together.
01:18:49We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family.
01:18:54It's all right.
01:18:54It's all right.
01:18:55Keep breathing.
01:18:57Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Help!
01:19:22Congratulations, Uncle Rita.
01:19:29She's so beautiful.
01:19:32I've delivered hundreds of babies, but I've never seen one this perfect.
01:19:38And I'm not just saying that because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:41I thought she was a boy.
01:19:44She carried like a boy.
01:19:47We live and learn, don't we, Doc?
01:19:48We sure do.
01:19:50Thank you both for being here.
01:19:52There's no other place we'd rather be.
01:19:58Is it okay if I come in?
01:20:05Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:13Can I hold her?
01:20:16Come sit.
01:20:28Hey, you got that, Bella?
01:20:49Brought you a present.
01:20:50A present?
01:20:53These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:54Well, when I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:20:59Well, 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.
01:21:10Will I see you later?
01:21:12Sure is this one fine day.
01:21:14Come on, boy.
01:21:16Help me out of here.
01:21:17Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter, I could use a little help in here.
01:21:31I'm coming.
01:21:34Lord, 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?
01:21:59I'm fine.
01:22:00Just 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.
01:22:11I'm going to miss you so very much.
01:22:13And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:21What are you doing out of here?
01:22:22Oh, I was just getting some fresh air, talking to Annie.
01:22:25You're going to miss her, aren't you?
01:22:26Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:31Let's enjoy her while we can.
01:22:32Thank you very much, Annie.
01:22:43It 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, but I had some expert help.
01:22:51This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:56I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:58Me too.
01:23:00All aboard, folks!
01:23:01We're burning daylight!
01:23:02I think it's about that time.
01:23:05Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:06Of course.
01:23:09Bye, you two.
01:23:19Bye.
01:23:19All right, take her easy there.
01:23:42Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:46How do I thank you, Mary?
01:23:47Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:53I learned a lot from you.
01:23:56And 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.
01:24:07I'll be.
01:24:08Oh, young man, I'm going to need a hand here.
01:24:24All right.
01:24:26Here we go.
01:24:27Wait a minute.
01:24:28One, two, three.
01:24:29Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:34Well, Commodore, are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:37I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:39Yes, ma'am.
01:24:41Yeah, get up.
01:24:43Get up.
01:24:44What are you and Mary whispering to, Jenna?
01:25:00I was just telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:03Are you sure?
01:25:14I'm a doctor.
01:25:15I know a pregnant woman when I see one,
01:25:17especially when I am one.
01:25:22Hey.
01:25:22We're going to have a baby.
01:25:26Baby?
01:25:28We're going to have a baby.
01:25:32Lillian Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:34Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:36Yes, ma'am.
01:25:39Joshua Coyle, don't just stand there and gawk.
01:25:41You've got a job to do.
01:25:43Yes, ma'am.
01:25:47I've got patients to attend to and baby plans to make.
01:25:52Uh, now wait up.
01:25:55Now wait up a bit.
01:25:58How far along are you?
01:26:01Man, I'm serious.
01:26:03Well, we've got to start talking about nature.
01:26:06I mean, I like to leave for a boy.
01:26:08Oh, you think it's going to be a boy?
01:26:09Or, uh, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl.
01:26:12What do you think?
01:26:12Oh, that's very pretty.
01:26:14Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
01:26:16What do you think?
01:26:17All right, I'll hold on.
01:26:18I'll get the door for you.
01:26:19Oh, wait.
01:26:20My goodness.
01:26:20Take it easy.
01:26:21Stop it.
