00:00:00But it would hurt my feelings if you delivered my first grandson without me.
00:00:05I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:00:07And I'm counting on you.
00:00:09Keep good thoughts.

00:00:12We'll see you in a few weeks, Mother.
00:00:13All right, Peter Watson, you drive slowly and easily.
00:00:18And avoid the ruts and the bumps.
00:00:21Annie and my grandson do not need to be jostled around like a sack of potatoes.
00:00:26Yes, ma'am.

00:10:20i haven't had anything as exciting as a snake bite in months
00:10:24you should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve
00:10:27it's our job as doctors to care about even the most minor illness or affliction
00:10:31and our patients deserve and need our compassion

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

01:20:39Come sit.
01:20:40Hey, you got that, fella?
01:20:46I brought you a present.
01:20:48A present.
01:20:50These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:53When I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:20:57The way you went through 20,000 links, I figured you'd use a few more.
01:21:00Oh, you think so?
01:21:04I should probably get going.
01:21:06Okay.
01:21:07Will I see you later?
01:21:10Surest, this is one fine day.
01:21:24Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter, I could use a little help in here.
01:21:28I'm coming.
01:21:32Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us and the love which envelops us.
01:21:37May we always strive to walk the way you like and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:44Amen.
01:21:55Hey, are you all right?
01:21:57I'm fine.
01:21:58Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:00I've gotten so used to you being at the house, it's going to be too quiet when we're gone.
01:22:03Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:07I think it's time we go home.
01:22:09I'm going to miss you so very much.
01:22:11And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:18What are you doing out here?
01:22:20Oh, I was just getting some fresh air, talking to Annie.
01:22:23You're going to miss her, aren't you?
01:22:25Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:29Let's enjoy her while we can.
01:22:30Thank you very much, Lee.
01:22:41It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:42And Belinda.
01:22:44I can never thank you enough.
01:22:46Well, I wish I could take all the credit, but I had some expert help.
01:22:50This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:53I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:56Me too.
01:22:57Follow forward, folks.
01:22:58We're burning daylight.
01:23:00I think it's about that time.
01:23:02Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:04Of course.
01:23:07Bye, you two.
01:23:16Bye.
01:23:17Bye.
01:23:18Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:43How do I thank you, Mary?
01:23:46Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:51I learned a lot from you.
01:23:53And I from you.
01:23:54I may bring them into the world, but you keep them alive and kicking once they're here.
01:23:59Now, if you ever need a good midwife, you know where to find me.
01:24:05Oh.
01:24:05Oh, young man, I'm going to need a hand here.
01:24:20Oh, young man, I'm going to need a hand here.
01:24:22All right.
01:24:23Here we go.
01:24:24Wait a minute.
01:24:25One, two, three.
01:24:26Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:32Well, Commodore, are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:34I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:37Yes, ma'am.
01:24:38Yeah, get up.
01:24:41Get up.
01:24:56Where are you and Mary whispering to, Joan?
01:24:58I was just telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:00What do you mean?
01:25:07Mm-hmm.
01:25:10Are you sure?
01:25:11I'm a doctor.
01:25:13I know a pregnant woman when I see one, especially when I am one.
01:25:19Hey.
01:25:21We're going to have a baby.
01:25:23Baby?
01:25:26We're going to have a baby.
01:25:27Lily and Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:31Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:33Yes, ma'am.
01:25:36Joshua Coyle, don't just stand there and gawk.
01:25:39You've got a job to do.
01:25:41Yes, ma'am.
01:25:45I've got patients to attend to and baby plans to make.
01:25:47Now, wait up.
01:25:53Now, wait up a bit.
01:25:56How far along are you?
01:25:59Now, I'm serious.
01:26:01Well, we've got to start talking about nature.
01:26:04I mean, I like to leave for a boy.
01:26:05Oh, you think it's going to be a boy?
01:26:07Or, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl.
01:26:09What do you think?
01:26:10Oh, that's very pretty.
01:26:11Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
01:26:13What do you think?
01:26:14All right, I'm going to hold on.
01:26:15I'm going to get the floor for you.
01:26:16Oh, wait.
01:26:17Oh, my goodness.
01:26:18Take it easy for you.
01:26:19Stop it.
