00:00:01But it would hurt my feelings if you delivered my first grandson without me.
00:00:05I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:00:07And I'm counting on you.
00:00:09Keep good thoughts, the baby.
00:00:12We'll see you in a few weeks, Mother.
00:00:13All right, Peter Watson, you drive slowly and easily.
00:00:18And avoid the ruts in the bus.
00:00:21Annie and my grandson do not need to be jostled around like a sack of potatoes.
00:00:26Yes, ma'am.
00:00:30I got it for you, Joe.
00:00:31Yes, sir!
00:00:32Skip up!
00:01:00It just feels awful sometimes.
00:01:15What exactly are you feeling?
00:01:17I don't mean to complain, Doctor, but I'm just plum wore out.
00:01:21Sometimes I can barely keep my head up.
00:01:23And when did you start feeling this way?
00:01:25When I had my youngest.
00:01:26About five months ago.
00:01:32Your mouth, please.
00:01:39Cums are very pale, Mabel.
00:01:41You haven't noticed when you look in the mirror?
00:01:43I'm not sure I know what they're supposed to look like.
00:01:45Well, I think you have anemia, which means you don't have enough iron in your body.
00:01:48It's common with new mothers.
00:01:50When the baby was inside of you, he took most of your iron.
00:01:53So it's nothing serious, then?
00:01:55Oh, it's very serious.
00:01:56What took you so long to come to me?
00:01:58Well, you see, my husband doesn't think I'm really sick.
00:02:01He says I'm just lazy.
00:02:03You take care of six children and a husband while you work harder than he does.
00:02:07Lloyd's a good man, Doc Owens.
00:02:08Really, he is.
00:02:09He just don't trust doctors.
00:02:11Not since his sister died.
00:02:13Is there a tonic I can take for this anemia?
00:02:16There is a tonic, but eating vegetables would be much more effective.
00:02:19Lloyd doesn't really like all those vegetables.
00:02:22He prefers his meat and potatoes.
00:02:33I eat two spoonfuls twice a day.
00:02:35You can come and see me in a week.
00:02:38It's very important that my coming to see you is kept private.
00:02:41What goes on between a doctor and a patient is always very private.
00:02:57Hello, Lee.
00:02:58Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:59Leaving that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:01Well, I'm just trying to wear him down for the ride home.
00:03:05You're here early, you're here late.
00:03:07Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going.
00:03:09Aren't you expecting company?
00:03:11My wife's best friend from medical school.
00:03:13Well, she should get here any day now.
00:03:14I was referring to that apprentice of yours.
00:03:16He should be here on Thursday's stage.
00:03:18I'll leave you to your work, Lee.
00:03:21Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:23Take your hand to the doctor.
00:03:27All finished?
00:03:29It'll be $2 for the doctor and 50 cents for the medicine.
00:03:44I'm sorry your 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?
00:03:53That's very kind of you.
00:03:55Don't mention it, Mrs. McQueen.
00:03:59Can you tell her I'll be by with that medicine?
00:04:01I will absolutely.
00:04:02Very good to see you.
00:04:03Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:04:05Now you take care of yourself.
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:07All right, pal.
00:04:08Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:10Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:11Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:12Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:18I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:20That's the perfect child.
00:04:22Here it comes.
00:04:24Here it comes.
00:04:25Easy.
00:04:26Hey!
00:04:31Settle down now.
00:04:32Settle.
00:04:33Settle.
00:04:34Hey!
00:04:35Easy now.
00:04:37I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:42Come on.
00:04:43Come on.
00:04:44Come on.
00:04:55Aunt Annie's here.
00:04:59Aunt Annie!
00:05:00Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:04She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:06Sure.
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.
00:05:15Everyone treats me like a China doll.
00:05:16I'm not going to break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:20Me too.
00:05:23I 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 a baby, but we need the money.
00:05:33I'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.
00:05:38But I wanted to come visit my best friend and her family before the baby comes.
00:05:43And we're so glad you did.
00:05:45How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:47Broken bones and bee stings.
00:05:48Anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:52The town loves Mom.
00:05:53They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:54Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:57Hmm.
00:05:58Well, how about I start cleaning and Lee, you'll help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:02Hi, son.
00:06:03It's good having Annie here.
00:06:04It is.
00:06:05She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:06I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:07Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:09I'm right here.
00:06:10Well, you seem like you're 100 miles away.
00:06:11I'm just tired.
00:06:12All right, son.
00:06:19It's good having Annie here.
00:06:20It is.
00:06:23She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:25I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:27Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:30I'm right here.
00:06:31Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:34I'm just tired.
00:06:36You sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:39What's wrong?
00:06:41I'm not pregnant.
00:06:42Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:45We've tried for so long.
00:06:47We have more than we can handle with Lil.
00:06:49Oh, I know, but...
00:06:52It's just that when Annie found out the news, it maybe won a baby of our own even more.
00:07:01Now that she's staying with us.
00:07:04No.
00:07:08We are going to have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:10All good things come in God's time, and maybe we should just let him decide.
00:07:18What if he doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:19Hey.
00:07:29Come on.
00:07:33Let's go help Lil finish the dishes.
00:07:34I guess I'd best be leaving now.
00:07:49Peter, please be careful.
00:07:52Yes.
00:07:53My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:56I love you.
00:07:57I love you too.
00:07:58I love you too.
00:07:59I love you too.
00:08:00I love you too.
00:08:01I love you too.
00:08:02I love you too.
00:08:03Bye ladies.
00:08:04Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:05Will be.
00:08:06Step up.
00:08:07Step up.
00:08:08Step up.
00:08:17Boy, are you alright?
00:08:18I don't know.
00:08:21Ha!
00:08:22Oh no!
00:08:24No!
00:08:25No!
00:08:26No!
00:08:27No!
00:08:28No!
00:08:29No!
00:08:30No!
00:08:31No!
00:08:32No!
00:08:33No!
00:08:34No!
00:08:35No!
00:08:36Well, good time, isn't it?
00:08:37Here's the bags.
00:08:38Got it.
00:08:39Check on the team, Mike.
00:08:42Welcome home, darling.
00:08:43Oh, beautiful.
00:08:44You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:57Yes, sir.
00:08:58Lee Owens.
00:08:59Welcome, Saxton.
00:09:01How's your trip?
00:09:02Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:09:04Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:09:06Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:08Yes, sir.
00:09:09Well, Saxton's a nice little town.
00:09:11I hope you like it.
00:09:12I expect so.
00:09:13Can I help you with your things?
00:09:15I don't have much.
00:09:17Alright.
00:09:18Come on, let me show you the shop.
00:09:20Sounds good.
00:09:23So, we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:25Library work and rolling stock.
00:09:27Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:30Now, when your blows are even,
00:09:33and you can work a straight piece of metal,
00:09:34those will be your tools.
00:09:36It's hard work.
00:09:38But you managed to make something
00:09:39that lasted a generation or two.
00:09:41Well, it gives you a sense of pride.
00:09:43I reckon that's true.
00:09:45What do you say?
00:09:47You ready to get started?
00:09:49Yes, sir.
00:09:50Alright, then.
00:09:59How was your walk?
00:10:00Tearing around a 30-pound sack of flour?
00:10:03Slow day?
00:10:04Slow day?
00:10:05Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time
00:10:07before someone comes in
00:10:08from getting caught on a rusty nail
00:10:10or falling off a ladder.
00:10:11You know, when I was traveling through Selina last month,
00:10:13there was a rash of copperhead snake bites.
00:10:16It felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:19I haven't had anything as exciting as a snake bite in months.
00:10:23You should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve.
00:10:26It's our job as doctors to care about even the most minor illness or affliction.
00:10:31And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:35That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:37Linda, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:41You can tell me anything, you know that.
00:10:45Oh!
00:10:47What is it?
00:10:49It's a quick, sharp pain and shortness of breath and minor faintness.
00:10:54Let's get you to an examination.
00:10:56It's not necessary.
00:10:57Is the baby moving?
00:10:58It isn't that...
00:11:01It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:03Let me finish some things up and we'll get you on.
00:11:11You know, my Pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:16You always walk?
00:11:17Well, legally I've been riding.
00:11:19You walking to my camp?
00:11:20No.
00:11:21No.
00:11:22I got a horse to give to Lil Ant.
00:11:25But he's still a little green.
00:11:27Pesty.
00:11:28I've been breaking him, getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:32Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:35I know nothing of saddle horses.
00:11:37Only harness problem.
00:11:38I stick with wagons.
00:11:40You'd better for it.
00:11:43I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:46What happened today?
00:11:47Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:50And that's coming from the doctor, Amy.
00:11:52When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:54My mother-in-law.
00:11:55She's a midwife.
00:11:56Well, I wish I was the one delivering your baby.
00:11:59It's a doctor's job after all.
00:12:01I'm sure it's gonna be fine.
00:12:05Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:08And you must be Joshua. Welcome to her home.
00:12:09Very nice to meet you, Mrs. Owens.
00:12:10Uh, that's Dr. Owens.
00:12:11You're a doctor?
00:12:12Yes, as is my best friend, Dr. Annie Watson.
00:12:13It's a pleasure to meet you, Joshua.
00:12:14Ma'am.
00:12:15It's funny.
00:12:16I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:18Allowed?
00:12:19No, I just...
00:12:20And just who do we need permission from?
00:12:21Go easy on him, Lil.
00:12:22He just got here.
00:12:23I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:24Apparently not.
00:12:25That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:26We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:27You'll get used to it.
00:12:28Oh, now.
00:12:29Let's go get washed up.
00:12:30Let's go get washed up.
00:12:43Certainly not.
00:12:48That's our daughter, Lillian. We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:51You'll get used to it.
00:12:54Oh, now.
00:12:56Let's go get washed up.
00:12:59Smells like my favorite.
00:13:01Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:13:03Indeed.
00:13:13Miss Owens?
00:13:18Mr. Coyle?
00:13:20I just want you to know...
00:13:23I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:26I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:29Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:32I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:35Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:37They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:39A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:41I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:44I swear.
00:13:46It's just...
00:13:47Well...
00:13:48I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:50I'm apologizing.
00:13:52I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:54Apology accepted.
00:14:00Well, I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:02Well, this isn't for school.
00:14:04So you read for fun?
00:14:05I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa let me.
00:14:08Well, all right.
00:14:10I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:16Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:32Nice young man.
00:14:33I hadn't noticed.
00:14:34Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:35Good night, Pa.
00:14:36Good night, Pa.
00:14:37Good night, Pa.
00:14:38Come in.
00:14:39How are you?
00:14:53I feel fine.
00:14:55Come in.
00:14:59How are you?
00:15:01I feel fine.
00:15:12Is that all right?
00:15:15I can't get it.
00:15:17Can I help?
00:15:18Can I help?
00:15:20Can we just sit down?
00:15:21Just sit down.
00:15:22I think this suit doesn't look too good.
00:15:29It says it's fine.
00:15:31It's in the eastbound.
00:15:34It says it's fine.
00:15:36It's not him.
00:15:48What is it?
00:15:49I feel like you're right.
00:15:52It says it's fine.
00:16:00It says it's fine.
00:16:02It's in the eastbound.
00:16:02It says it's fine.
00:16:04Oh.
00:16:06Oh.
00:17:37Well, I made it all.
00:17:39Why are his mother?
00:17:40You said she lives in Spartan.
00:17:43Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:50Total rest for you, Mrs. Watson, in a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:54To being lazy, you mean.
00:17:55I cannot just lay around all day.
00:17:58I'm a doctor, remember?
00:17:59But I am your doctor and this is my home.
00:18:01And if it is enclampsia, you know bed rest is called for.
00:18:04Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:06Perhaps.
00:18:07But if not, I won't be sorry later.
00:18:10I love you.
00:18:12I love you too.
00:18:20Prepare for my peach.
00:18:22Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with Aunt Annie?
00:18:27No, you just run along to school.
00:18:29I'll post a note on the clinic and if someone really needs me, they know where to find me.
00:18:33Morning, ladies.
00:18:35Morning.
00:18:36Bye, Ma.
00:18:37Have a good day, darling.
00:18:38Bye, Ma.
00:18:39Bye.
00:18:39That girl kicks up a cloud of dust everywhere she goes.
00:18:45Here 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.
00:18:56Do you have any idea how much I love you?
00:18:58Well, it never hurts to hear.
00:19:02I love you too, Lee Owens.
00:19:06Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:19:08All right.
00:19:10Have a good day, sweet darling.
00:19:24Belinda feels Annie's health as well as the baby's is better served staying here until after the delivery.
00:19:29I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:32Lee Owens.
00:19:34That's what he said.
00:19:38Dr. Olsen.
00:19:44Mr. McQueen.
00:19:46Sorry, we're closed today, but if you'd like to make an appointment...
00:19:48Were you the one that gave Mabel this tonic?
00:19:50Yes, it's iron for her anemia.
00:19:52Why you got to go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:55What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:57Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:20:00Give her that medicine.
00:20:01I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:03A doctor killed my sister with tonic.
00:20:05Look, I 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.
00:20:18Now, my advice...
00:20:19I don't need your mouth, nor your advice, and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:22Doctor's not worth a...
00:20:23Putin holler!
00:20:29Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:30Yes, I'm just frustrated at a very stubborn and hard-headed man.
00:20:34Roy 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.
00:20:42Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times and lose sight of the compassion we should have for others?
00:20:47There I go, preaching again.
00:20:50Oh, it's all right.
00:20:51I suppose I needed to hear it.
00:20:53I'll see you in church, Belinda.
00:20:55Good day.
00:21:08That's his steady blows.
00:21:10All right.
00:21:11Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:18Must run in the family.
00:21:21I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence, but she was adopted.
00:21:26Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:28Really?
00:21:28Hmm.
00:21:29I never would have known.
00:21:31I mean, she and Mrs....
00:21:32I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:34Matter of fact.
00:21:37Yeah, I mean, it's just Lillian's very pretty.
00:21:41Yeah, I know she's pretty.
00:21:56I'm truthfully not that hungry.
00:21:58Doctor's orders.
00:21:59Even 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.
00:22:07Knowing and doing are two entirely different things.
00:22:12Is that another contraction?
00:22:14No, the baby's just kicking.
00:22:16And I have to tell you, I'm a little relieved.
00:22:18I haven't felt him move since the contractions yesterday.
00:22:21You just said it was...
00:22:23He?
00:22:24How do you know it's a boy?
00:22:25I know it sounds silly, but Mary thinks because I'm caring so low that it'll be a boy.
00:22:30It is silly.
00:22:31That's an old wives' tale.
00:22:33There's no medical merit to it.
00:22:35Say what you want, but when Peter's sister was pregnant, Mary was concerned because she was caring so far out in front.
00:22:40She said it would be a breached birth, and she was right.
00:22:43One lucky guess, and she's got you believing made-up stories.
00:22:47Goodness, he's getting his exercise today.
00:22:50You want to feel?
00:22:51That's all right.
00:22:53Come on, Belinda.
00:22:54Don't be nervous.
00:22:55It's so strange.
00:23:00I never thought I'd be a mother.
00:23:03It suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world.
00:23:09I'm sorry.
00:23:11I've opened that wound, haven't I?
00:23:14Maybe we shouldn't talk about it.
00:23:16You know, I know so many women that have gotten pregnant without even trying.
00:23:20And Lee and I have been trying.
00:23:22We've both seen it take some time.
00:23:24You just can't get impatient with yourself.
00:23:27I look after this one woman, Mabel McQueen.
00:23:30She's had six babies in the past eight years without even trying.
00:23:34It's important to you, isn't it?
00:23:35We'll be here to talk whenever you'd like to.
00:23:49Please eat your soup, Annie.
00:23:50I was wondering where you'd run off to.
00:24:06I just looked in on Annie.
00:24:13She's out for the night.
00:24:14She keeps insisting she feels fine.
00:24:18I think I've heard that before.
00:24:24You two are so much alike, it's frightening.
00:24:27I suppose it's why we're such good friends.
00:24:29I noticed you didn't have Joshua over for supper tonight.
00:24:35I'm pretty sure he's sweet on Lil.
00:24:38I don't want the two of them spending too much time together.
00:24:41Why not?
00:24:42He's only a couple years older.
00:24:43Doc, he's an apprentice blacksmith.
00:24:46I want better for Lillian.
00:24:47I'm the wife of a blacksmith, and you don't hear me complaining.
00:24:50I spent the last five years trying to figure out how I tricked you into marrying me.
00:24:54You could have done much better.
00:24:56You didn't trick me into anything.
00:24:58I married you because I fell in love with you, Leon.
00:25:02And if Lillian and Joshua had taken interest in one another, I don't think it's our place to stand in their way.
00:25:07Besides, telling Lillian she can't have something is like daring to try to stop her.
00:25:16I get your point.
00:25:18I don't want to get in the way of her happiness.
00:25:20Still, you left a small town to follow your dream.
00:25:24And if Lillian wants to go to college, I darn sure want to see it happen.
00:25:29I don't want her tied down to Saxon.
00:25:34I hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has.
00:25:39It's getting a little chilly.
00:25:42Want to turn in for the night?
00:25:43You go ahead.
00:25:44I'll be up in a little while.
00:25:45Don't be in such a hurry, pretty lady.
00:26:06Please allow me to pass.
00:26:11We need to get to know each other.
00:26:15I think not.
00:26:16I don't want to be late for school.
00:26:18I can teach you more than any school can.
00:26:20Excuse me.
00:26:23You mind letting the young lady pass?
00:26:24This ain't none of your affairs, sod buster.
00:26:26Ah, but it is.
00:26:28It ain't.
00:26:28You knocked your head off, boy.
00:26:36Now, you hold on a second.
00:26:37Now, the good book tells me to turn the other cheek.
00:26:39Now, I only have two.
00:26:41So, after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:47That was the second cheek.
00:26:51You're breaking my wrist.
00:26:52Well, I understand there's a fine doctor in town.
00:26:53Yeah, please don't.
00:26:55Please don't break.
00:26:56I trust I'll never see you around Miss Owens again.
00:26:58No, never.
00:26:59Good.
00:27:01Now, get.
00:27:12Morning, Miss Owens.
00:27:14You on your way to school?
00:27:15Indeed I am.
00:27:17May I walk with you?
00:27:26I did the best I could, Jim, but you better go easy on it, all right?
00:27:42Your boss strikes me as a hard-working man.
00:27:45He lives and breathes work.
00:27:47Ma says sometimes he rolls over to sleep and tries to use your arms like a set of tongs.
00:27:51I guess that's the future I have to look forward to.
00:27:54It's not such a bad life, really.
00:27:59So, what about you?
00:28:01You're going to become a doctor like your ma?
00:28:03I don't know.
00:28:05I haven't decided.
00:28:06Maybe I want to be a lawyer or a famous writer like Harriet Beecher Stowe.
00:28:10One thing for sure, I want to go to college.
00:28:13Well, I better get to work.
00:28:15Have a nice day, Joshua.
00:28:17You too, Louie.
00:28:22I don't think you should be climbing the stairs.
00:28:32But I feel fine.
00:28:33What's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day.
00:28:37But it's only been three days since you had pain and felt faint.
00:28:40You know the symptoms and treatment as well as I do.
00:28:42That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:47Is that singing?
00:28:50I wouldn't know that voice anywhere.
00:28:52That's Mary.
00:28:53Your mother-in-law?
00:28:54What reason does she have to be here?
00:28:56Mary doesn't need a reason to do anything.
00:28:58Well, this must be it.
00:29:14Oh, Jesus.
00:29:15Thank you, my good man.
00:29:18And you have a blessed day.
00:29:21And you must be the infamous Doc Owen.
00:29:25Mary Watson, up to me that already.
00:29:30Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:33Would you be a dear and bring my thing along?
00:29:36Mary, 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 Belinda's husband?
00:29:50I did.
00:29:51That's why I'm here.
00:29:52I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend.
00:29:55But I certainly wasn't going to miss the birth of my first grandson.
00:30:00I've missed you.
00:30:02Oh, it's darker than the inside of a cow in here.
00:30:05Yes, it is.
00:30:06Oh, please don't do that.
00:30:07What?
00:30:08She's not a mushroom.
00:30:09She needs light.
00:30:11All right, let's sit up so I can get a good look.
00:30:14I'm sorry, what are you doing?
00:30:15I'm getting her upright.
00:30:17If she stays in this bed too long, she'll get a crick in her back and it'll make delivery 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.
00:30:45There I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw.
00:30:58I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night.
00:31:03I expected twins, not triplets.
00:31:07In a blizzard?
00:31:08Oh, the little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:31:13Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:16Women giving birth are always an emergency.
00:31:20That's the penalty we pay for Eve eating the apple.
00:31:23It 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.
00:31:32You let that little fella start running your life now, you'll be lacing his shoes when he's 30.
00:31:38Yes, Annie told me you believe it's a boy.
00:31:41Believe? Nothing.
00:31:42It's a fact.
00:31:44Honestly, Mary, you can't possibly...
00:31:45Actually, I am a little tired.
00:31:47I'm going to go to bed.
00:31:48I 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.
00:32:02There is no way to tell whether...
00:32:04Well, I think it's time we all settle down.
00:32:06Huh?
00:32:07We have a full day tomorrow.
00:32:14Thank you for dinner, Dr. Holmes.
00:32:18Joshua, William told us that you came to her rescue.
00:32:22Our mother and I both appreciate it.
00:32:23It was my pleasure, sir.
00:32:25Thank you again.
00:32:29I'll walk you out.
00:32:40Aren't they the most adorable couple?
00:32:42So 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.
00:32:55I never met a girl who made a book sound so interesting.
00:32:58You can borrow it if you like.
00:32:59No, no, I'm not sure if I'm sold on Nemo just yet.
00:33:02Maybe you could read some of it to me, though.
00:33:05Just so I can find out if it's my kind of story.
00:33:07I could do that.
00:33:08Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:33:11Maybe on Saturday?
00:33:12We can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:33:16I think I know just the place.
00:33:19Lee Owens, you are not spying on our only daughter.
00:33:21I'm not spying on her.
00:33:23I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:38Let's see what you got there.
00:33:54Well, you're really improving.
00:33:58Thank you, sir.
00:34:00Trying my best to impress you.
00:34:02As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:34:04Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you, maybe, uh, Lily and I...
00:34:14You want permission to court Lily, right?
00:34:18Yes, sir.
00:34:20Well, I don't want to distract her from her goals.
00:34:23I promise I'll be respectful of her and not get in the way of her school.
00:34:25I know how much she wants to go to college.
00:34:28Well, I'll think about it, all right?
00:34:33I understand.
00:34:33In the meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:38Lily wants his order by noon.
00:34:40Yes, sir.
00:34:42You're going to be late opening your clinic.
00:34:44I don't feel comfortable leaving Annie here all alone,
00:34:47and I certainly don't feel comfortable with her being out of bed this much.
00:34:50You know, I wish the two of you wouldn't talk about me as if I wasn't sitting right here.
00:34:55Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:57You must be so frustrated, pooped up inside all the time.
00:35:01I will be here with her all day.
00:35:05You tend to your patients, and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:09If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:17Have a nice day.
00:35:22Praise the Lord!
00:35:23We're free!
00:35:26Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:28We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:33Oh, trip into town!
00:35:43Doc Owens?
00:35:45Can I talk to you?
00:35:46Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:47I only have a minute.
00:35:52I left Lloyd at the general store.
00:35:53Said I was running to the butcher.
00:35:55What can I do for you, Mabel?
00:35:56Doc, I feel terrible.
00:35:58This sickness, it's just getting worse.
00:36:00I'm dizzy all the time, and I can barely pick up the youngins.
00:36:02That's because your anemia is getting worse.
00:36:04Your body needs iron.
00:36:06You're only 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.
00:36:11If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:14I tried to take the tonic.
00:36:16Really, I did.
00:36:17Even started to feel a little stronger.
00:36:19And then Lloyd found it, and you know the rest.
00:36:22I certainly do.
00:36:23He threw a bottle at me.
00:36:24I'm sorry for that.
00:36:25Really, I am.
00:36:26He was just upset.
00:36:27He didn't mean anything by it.
00:36:29He's a wonderful husband and a father.
00:36:32Maybe.
00:36:32But I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
00:36:39Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:41Your friend Melinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:37:04I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me, but everybody likes me.
00:37:08She 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, I 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.
00:37:31How about a sugary treat?
00:37:37I'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 to men before sundown.
00:38:05She's just feeling poorly at length.
00:38:18She's got a newborn and five youngins.
00:38:20Says 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.
00:38:45Doc Owens is trying to save your wife's life.
00:38:49She'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, Lloyd.
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.
00:39:18Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:20Amen.
00:39:21Amen.
00:39:22Amen.
00:39:23Amen.
00:39:24Amen.
00:39:25Amen.
00:39:26Give you a double dose, so do not take any more today.
00:39:34No, 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.
00:39:41I'd like to apologize.
00:39:47Last time we spoke, I lost my temper.
00:39:50What'll owe you for the tonic?
00:39:52Only that you allow her to keep taking it.
00:39:54We don't need no charity.
00:39:56The first one was already paid for.
00:39:58This is just a replacement.
00:40:00Step up!
00:40:02Yes, dear.
00:40:20I'm sorry. You're sleeping?
00:40:22Well, not anymore.
00:40:24My apprentice wants to court Lillian.
00:40:28His name is Joshua.
00:40:32I told him I'd think about it.
00:40:34Well, then think.
00:40:36Don't think too long. Lillian's grown up.
00:40:40I'm having a hard time with it.
00:40:42You're having a hard time letting her grow up.
00:40:46I was trying to protect her.
00:40:48I don't think she needs protection from Joshua.
00:40:50He's a very nice young man.
00:40:52That's all you have to say about her?
00:40:56Good night, sweetheart.
00:41:02All right.
00:41:04Tomorrow, I'll give Joshua my permission to court Lill.
00:41:08I think I don't know about your little excursion with Annie.
00:41:24This town is filled with gossips.
00:41:26Can't keep a secret for more than five minutes.
00:41:28It's a pretty little town, Sykeston.
00:41:30I can see why you like it here.
00:41:32May I ask why you feel the need to go against every instruction I have for Annie?
00:41:38I don't deliberately go against your word.
00:41:41We just disagree about how to treat her.
00:41:44This isn't a competition, Mary.
00:41:46If a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia, I wouldn't dream of telling you how to treat them.
00:41:52That's your business.
00:41:54Babies are my business.
00:41:56Have been for 30 years.
00:41:58It's just there's been so many new advancements.
00:42:01Sometimes the old ways are best.
00:42:04Annie may have a serious condition which could be fatal to both her and the baby.
00:42:08Are you sure?
00:42:09Of 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.
00:42:16This conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere.
00:42:23So Annie tells me you're barren.
00:42:26Or having trouble anyway.
00:42:28I don't think that's any of your concern.
00:42:30I see this problem a lot.
00:42:33If you want, I could give you some remedies that are guaranteed to work.
00:42:36I know how it's done, Mary.
00:42:38I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
00:42:40So what do you think is the problem?
00:42:42You're too high-strung.
00:42:44Folks worry too much about work, family, or whether or not they can have a baby.
00:42:50Then years go by and nothing happens.
00:42:53Then one day, they decide to stop trying.
00:42:56And before you know it, they find they're with child.
00:43:00So your sage advice for me is to relax.
00:43:04Read a book before you go to bed.
00:43:07Take some deep breaths.
00:43:10And before you know it, I'll be back to deliver your little one.
00:43:14I'll make sure I try that.
00:43:19Every baby boy needs his own blanket. Don't you agree?
00:43:38Yes, I do.
00:43:47I'm gonna head to the shop for a few hours. I'll be back in time for supper.
00:43:50Don't you ever take time off?
00:43:52Oh, the good book says that a man who doesn't work doesn't deserve to eat.
00:43:55I ain't got a lot of work to do.
00:43:57We just thought you'd have more time off once you hired an apprentice.
00:43:59And I do. Now I'm only two weeks behind instead of six.
00:44:06Billion, you look lovely. Where are you headed off to?
00:44:08Joshua and I are having a picnic.
00:44:10You enjoy yourself, and please tell Joshua that we said hello.
00:44:14I will.
00:44:15You'll be back in time for supper now. No exceptions.
00:44:17I will. I promise.
00:44:20Bye, everyone.
00:44:21Bye, dear.
00:44:22Bye, dear.
00:44:37I love it. The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe.
00:44:41Its 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.
00:44:48The sea is the only embodiment of the supernatural and wonderful existence.
00:44:52It is nothing but love and emotion.
00:44:55This is the living infinite, as one of your poets has said.
00:45:00I've been reading for almost two hours. You must be bored.
00:45:03I don't think I can ever get bored listening to you talk.
00:45:06You're just saying that.
00:45:07No, I'm not. I swear.
00:45:09It's just, I'd like this Captain Nemo if he weren't holding his friends hostage all the time.
00:45:14Well, I can't let them go, and they might tell the world who he is.
00:45:17Twenty thousand leagues is an allegory. It's about personal freedom.
00:45:20Nemo means nobody in Latin, and he's invisible to the world and wants to keep it that way.
00:45:25You're brilliant. You know that?
00:45:27I know that.
00:45:36Lee? You working today?
00:45:39You work harder than any man I know.
00:45:42Well, I can't let the customers down.
00:45:45Besides, it gives me thinking time.
00:45:47Anything that you'd like to share with your pastor?
00:45:50This is a lot of rumbling around in my head like a marble.
00:45:54Sometimes it helps to speak it out loud.
00:45:56Talking 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, but...
00:46:04Our children grow up, start spreading their wings.
00:46:09The father has to be aware of that and try to grow with his child.
00:46:14Yeah, Belinda tolerates more than I do.
00:46:17She's a mother.
00:46:19The good Lord gave them the patience of Job when it comes to raising their children.
00:46:23He shortchanged fathers in that area.
00:46:24Yeah.
00:46:26Yeah.
00:46:28Yeah.
00:46:30I really wish you would get some rest.
00:46:35I feel fine.
00:46:37Looks like someone may have been wrong about my condition.
00:46:41Perhaps.
00:46:42So, if things improve with Lee?
00:46:46He 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.
00:46:56Maybe.
00:46:58You know, I'm starting to think that maybe she regrets marrying me.
00:47:01Now, Lee, that is just plain nonsense.
00:47:05She's proud as a peacock that she married you.
00:47:07Maybe.
00:47:09Have you spoken to her about it?
00:47:11In a roundabout way.
00:47:13Of course she says I'm wrong.
00:47:15Still, she seems kind of distant lately.
00:47:18She's got something on her mind.
00:47:20Most women do when they get like that.
00:47:23You know, we're, uh...
00:47:26Trying to have a baby.
00:47:28So far, no luck.
00:47:30You have to have faith.
00:47:33Sometimes it's hard, Reverend.
00:47:35Talk to her about your feelings.
00:47:37I'd best be getting home.
00:47:41This is Dave's.
00:47:42They'll give me an earful if I'm late for supper.
00:47:44And myself included.
00:47:52Well, I see.
00:47:54You didn't need my help putting supper on the table.
00:47:56You were taking a nap, ma'am.
00:47:58We just wanted you to be able to rest.
00:48:00I'll rest enough when I'm dead.
00:48:02Give me that knife before you...
00:48:05Cut yourself.
00:48:12So, do you miss your family?
00:48:14I do.
00:48:16My pa's a farmer back in Pennsylvania.
00:48:18He wanted more from me than to spend my entire life plowing fields.
00:48:21So, he said if I got good enough, maybe I can find some work in Philadelphia.
00:48:25Sounds like he cares about you a lot.
00:48:28Yeah, my family's pretty close.
00:48:30It's kind of strange, though.
00:48:32You know, being out here all by myself.
00:48:35I have three sisters and two brothers and not a moment apiece.
00:48:37Back at the boarding house, I got nothing but quiet.
00:48:40I know what you mean.
00:48:42I mostly grew up in an orphanage until Ma and Pa adopted me when I was ten.
00:48:46I'd spent so long in a room with other kids, I couldn't wait to have a room of my own.
00:48:51Now I miss having someone to talk to.
00:48:54Yeah, me.
00:48:56I do, don't I?
00:49:00So, tell me something.
00:49:02How'd you ever find a place like this, anyway?
00:49:04I stumbled across it by accident while riding one day.
00:49:08But it's so far off the main roads no one really comes out here.
00:49:11So, I brought some of my old stuff and now it's where I come to be alone.
00:49:16Well, I can see why.
00:49:18Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape.
00:49:21This reminds me of it.
00:49:23Well, the timber still seems...
00:49:26I wouldn't do that.
00:49:28Whoa!
00:49:31Not as sound as you might think.
00:49:32You're probably right.
00:49:35I think it's best we pack up.
00:49:39Well, I'm happy to see you and Mary are getting along.
00:49:44You know, her fertility advice to me was to relax and read a book before bed.
00:49:51Did you try it?
00:49:53Of course not.
00:49:54She's been doing this longer than we've been alive.
00:49:57I can't believe you, Annie Watson.
00:49:59You've spent three years in medical school, five years practicing medicine, and you're gonna believe that woman's folk magic?
00:50:05It's rubbish, plain and simple.
00:50:07We ask people to believe in things they don't understand, and they do.
00:50:10Because they have trust and faith in us.
00:50:13Just like they have faith in the Lord.
00:50:14Okay, it is not the same thing, and we're talking about Mary here.
00:50:17Why do you have such a hard time believing in Mary's ways?
00:50:20Okay, Mary is a lovely woman.
00:50:23But you have to admit, she's a little touch on the head.
00:50:26She 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.
00:50:34What are you talking about?
00:50:35The man with the anemic wife?
00:50:37The 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?
00:50:45Mary unloaded on him like a tornado.
00:50:48Spoke up for you, and just plain made him cower.
00:50:53I'm over.
00:50:55Let's go.
00:51:03Do you have any idea what time it is?
00:51:04Hi, Pa.
00:51:06You were supposed to be home for supper.
00:51:08Joshua and I weren't that hungry, so we decided to stay out a little while longer.
00:51:11Well, it's well past supper. That's more than a little while.
00:51:14Why are you so angry?
00:51:15I thought I could trust your judgment, but apparently I was wrong.
00:51:18What's that supposed to mean?
00:51:19It means you can't spend any more time with Joshua Quoyle until I say so.
00:51:23You'll go to school, help your mother at the clinic, and come straight home.
00:51:26For how long?
00:51:27As 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.
00:51:33No one said the world was fair, young lady.
00:51:36Lil.
00:51:40I was worried about you.
00:51:41Hello, Joshua.
00:51:42Good afternoon, man.
00:51:43Uh...
00:51:44Mr. Owens told me how much trouble I caused the other night.
00:51:47I just wanted to come by and say how sorry I am for keeping Lillian out soulful.
00:51:48Uh...
00:51:49Mr. Owens told me how much trouble I caused the other night.
00:51:50I just wanted to come by and say how sorry I am for keeping Lillian out so late.
00:51:51You needn't place the blame all on yourself.
00:51:52Uh...
00:51:53Mr. Owens told me how much trouble I caused the other night.
00:51:57You needn't place the blame all on yourself.
00:51:58She's old enough to know better.
00:51:59No, I'm still sorry.
00:52:00Ma, I can't find the... bandages.
00:52:02Pa said I can't see you for a while.
00:52:03I'm sorry.
00:52:04I'm sorry.
00:52:05I'm sorry.
00:52:06I'm sorry.
00:52:07I'm sorry.
00:52:08I'm sorry.
00:52:09Ma, I can't find the... bandages.
00:52:12Pa said I can't see you for a while.
00:52:15Pa said you couldn't go out with Joshua.
00:52:16He said nothing about the two of you seeing each other.
00:52:17Thanks, Ma.
00:52:18Well, I have work to do.
00:52:19It was nice to see you.
00:52:20It was nice to see you.
00:52:21I'm sorry.
00:52:22I'm sorry.
00:52:23I'm sorry to say how sorry I am for keeping Lillian out so late.
00:52:24You needn't place the blame all on yourself.
00:52:25She's old enough to know better.
00:52:26No, I'm still sorry.
00:52:27Ma, I can't find the... bandages.
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.
00:52:41Well, I have work to do.
00:52:44It was nice to see you, Joshua.
00:52:46There's always room open at the dinner table for you.
00:52:49Thank you, Ma.
00:52:55Sorry to get you into trouble.
00:52:57You didn't do anything wrong and neither did I.
00:52:59I'm a grown woman and I don't need my Pa deciding how late I can and can't stay out.
00:53:03He's just worried about you is all.
00:53:05Well, he doesn't need to be.
00:53:06There's no need to be crossed, Lillian.
00:53:08I mean, I'll still be here when you get off punishment.
00:53:10I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:13I wanted to return this.
00:53:15I finished it.
00:53:16Already?
00:53:17I just gave it to you.
00:53:18Once I got started, it was hard to quit.
00:53:21I mean, the sun was already up when I finally closed the book.
00:53:24So you stayed up all night just to read about Captain Nemo?
00:53:26No.
00:53:27I don't think I would have gotten much sleep with or without him.
00:53:32I'll be thinking about you.
00:53:34Me too.
00:53:35Mary?
00:53:36In here, dear.
00:53:40Annie, should you be up?
00:53:41Where are you going?
00:53:43Where are you going?
00:53:44I've decided to head on home.
00:53:46I can see you're in good hands.
00:53:48You're leaving?
00:53:49Before the baby comes?
00:53:51Oh, you'll do fine.
00:53:52Oh, you'll do fine.
00:53:53And besides, the last thing you need is to go home.
00:53:54You're leaving.
00:53:55You're leaving?
00:53:56Before the baby comes?
00:53:57Oh, you'll do fine.
00:53:58Besides, the last thing you need is an old granny midwife gumming up the works.
00:53:59This doesn't have anything to do right.
00:54:00And we're here again.
00:54:01You're leaving?
00:54:02Brian?
00:54:03Any, should you be up?
00:54:04Where are you going?
00:54:05Where are you going?
00:54:07I've decided to head on home.
00:54:11I can see you're in good hands.
00:54:13You're leaving?
00:54:14And before the baby comes?
00:54:16Oh, you do fine.
00:54:19And 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. I 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, and thank you.
00:55:19For 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, I 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.
00:56:13I think I can handle a short walk into town.
00:56:16Doc Owens!
00:56:20Danny.
00:56:23Lillian told me he was here.
00:56:24Ma's in labor.
00:56:25Okay, there's a horse and buggy in the barn.
00:56:27Help me hook it up.
00:56:28Yes, ma'am.
00:56:28I trust you weren't walking to town along the way.
00:56:35All 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,
00:56:47you have my permission to just shove me out of the way.
00:56:50But if you do,
00:56:52I'm there.
00:56:55Fine, but only because I don't have time to argue with you.
00:56:58Thank 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, but I can't see the head.
00:57:23I'll see you, too.
00:57:24Your mama's gonna be fine.
00:57:25It'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.
00:57:39What 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.
00:57:49That's good.
00:57:51What are we doing?
00:57:52We're gonna flatten out her hip bones.
00:57:57Just try to slow down for me.
00:57:59There.
00:57:59Now, we're gonna see who's stuck and who's not.
00:58:15There.
00:58:15It's gonna be all right.
00:58:36Pa?
00:58:38Pa?
00:58:42Hello, Joshua.
00:58:43Where's my pa?
00:58:46He's on delivery.
00:58:48Then 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.
00:59:02Joshua.
00:59:18Pa 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 when you didn't make it home on time.
00:59:36You sound just like pa.
00:59:38Ma is the only one who understands.
00:59:41Lillian, wait a second.
00:59:42Mal Mikey.
00:59:50Ma.
00:59:53Get out!
00:59:54Get out!
00:59:54Get out!
00:59:55Get out!
00:59:58Ah!
00:59:58It's a beautiful baby boy, and your wife is fine.
01:00:14Can I see them?
01:00:15Shortly.
01:00:20Well, looks like we got ourselves a baby brother.
01:00:28Isn't he beautiful?
01:00:30He sure is.
01:00:33He better be.
01:00:35Leave it to a boy to jam up the works.
01:00:49Uh, that's not doctor's work.
01:00:52It doesn't matter who does it, just as long as it gets done.
01:00:58I learned something today that they didn't teach me in medical school.
01:01:14I did it.
01:01:14I did it.
01:01:28All right.
01:01:46Whoa.
01:01:46Whoa.
01:01:47Whoa.
01:01:55Whoa.
01:01:56Have you seen Lillian?
01:02:01No, why?
01:02:02Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:02:03She's been missing all afternoon.
01:02:05We got in an argument at the shop over Mr. Owens, and she stormed off.
01:02:08Said you were the only one who understands her.
01:02:10We were hoping she'd run off to find you.
01:02:12She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:02:15It's about to get dark outside.
01:02:16She gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:19I think I know where she is.
01:02:20It's worse this time.
01:02:41I feel like I could faint.
01:02:42Okay, okay.
01:02:43Let's get her inside.
01:02:44It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:47Oh, God.
01:02:49Let's go.
01:02:49Oh, God.
01:02:49I feel like I'm a big fan of you.
01:02:50Let's go.
01:02:50What?
01:02:51Oh, God.
01:02:53Oh, God.
01:02:53Oh, God.
01:02:54Oh, God.
01:02:54Oh, God.
01:02:54Oh, God.
01:02:57Ah.
01:02:58Oh, God.
01:03:00Oh, God.
01:03:13Oh.
01:03:14Oh, God.
01:03:15Oh, God.
01:03:16how much further it's just up ahead
01:03:24how are you feeling i'm really not as light as it is before i like to just go to bed
01:03:38let's get you upstairs to a darkened room doctor's orders
01:03:46whoa
01:03:54whoa
01:03:54whoa
01:03:54Whoa.
01:04:20Was it like this before?
01:04:22No, sir.
01:04:23Looks like there is a cave-in.
01:04:24She might be hurt.
01:04:28This is one of her lamps.
01:04:29Let's go.
01:04:31Lil!
01:04:33Lil!
01:04:41It's right up there.
01:04:43I see her.
01:04:46Lil!
01:04:50Lil.
01:04:51Give me a hand with this.
01:04:53One, two, three.
01:04:58We got it.
01:04:59We got it.
01:05:00Lil.
01:05:02Lil.
01:05:03Come on.
01:05:04Talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:11Pa?
01:05:12Yeah.
01:05:13I'm here, honey.
01:05:17Just take it easy.
01:05:18Just stay down, all right?
01:05:22I'm gonna get you out of here.
01:05:23Okay.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:25Okay.
01:05:25Mm-hmm.
01:05:26How's Lillian?
01:05:32How's Lillian?
01:05:45How's Lillian?
01:05:46A few got some bruises, but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:55She's out for the night.
01:05:57Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:05:59Give her a couple days.
01:06:00Give her a couple days.
01:06:01She'll be right as rain.
01:06:03At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:06:06Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:06:08Uh, this too shall pass.
01:06:11Children 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.
01:06:25Give it up if you want.
01:06:27But I'm telling you, the shine in your hair is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:34You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:36It doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:38It only matters what you believe.
01:06:40What do you mean?
01:06:40Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:45It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:49I'm sorry I doubted you.
01:06:52You didn't deserve it.
01:06:54The Lord says we are to forgive if we expect to be forgiven.
01:07:00Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning and all is forgiven.
01:07:05That's a promise.
01:07:10Late night tonight.
01:07:17Everyone's worn out.
01:07:19A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:21You know, I think I might read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:34Really?
01:07:35You never read in bed.
01:07:37I think it'll do me good.
01:07:39Help me unwind after the long day we've all had.
01:07:41Hmm.
01:07:47Doc.
01:07:50I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:53Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:57And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage.
01:08:00You need a good home.
01:08:01You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of our home?
01:08:04I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:08Always have been.
01:08:09Always will be.
01:08:13Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:18Yeah.
01:08:19Yeah, I like the sunrise.
01:08:21I 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 to just sit and eat ice cream?
01:09:13You are not going to the social.
01:09:16I am a doctor.
01:09:17I vote yes.
01:09:18Well, that's one vote for Dr. Annie and one vote for the midwife.
01:09:22I guess you've got the tie-breaking vote, Doc.
01:09:28I'm sorry, Annie.
01:09:29I'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.
01:09:40This old ball and chain will be sitting right here like a prison warden.
01:09:44You're both against me.
01:09:45That's right.
01:09:46Read your book and pout.
01:09:47Don't you look beautiful?
01:10:03Except for this.
01:10:04I don't know.
01:10:04We'll even notice that.
01:10:06Even Joshua.
01:10:07Especially Joshua.
01:10:09Thanks for telling Joshua you can escort me to the social.
01:10:12You're still coming with your mother and I, right?
01:10:14I told him I wanted to walk in with my family and see him from afar.
01:10:17That's very romantic.
01:10:19Must be from all the books I read.
01:10:22Pa.
01:10:22I'm sorry for not making curfew the other night.
01:10:28Oh, no.
01:10:28You were just worried about me.
01:10:29Don't worry about it.
01:10:32You're growing up so fast sometimes I can't keep up with you.
01:10:36Thanks, Pa.
01:10:36Come here.
01:10:52And then he stepped like this.
01:10:54Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:11:05No, thank you.
01:11:06No, thank you, Joshua.
01:11:13Hey, partner.
01:11:15How'd you ice cream?
01:11:17Doc Owens, can we talk?
01:11:19Boy, do you know my husband Lee?
01:11:23Boy.
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.
01:11:30Boy, you do look like a brand new person.
01:11:32I've had a lot more energy.
01:11:34I still need some extra sleep in the afternoons.
01:11:36I'm getting stronger every day.
01:11:37Well, the best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed to receive with a joyful spirit.
01:11:43It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:45Well, I, uh, mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:51Thanks again, Doc.
01:11:52It was my pleasure.
01:11:54And I should be the one to apologize to you, Mabel.
01:11:58I had no right to be cross with you when you needed my help.
01:12:01I hope you can forgive me.
01:12:02There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:06Have a good day.
01:12:07That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:17You 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.
01:12:46I want to see Annie.
01:12:46Get Belinda now.
01:12:53You look beautiful.
01:12:55So you look handsome.
01:12:58I still can't believe it.
01:13:01Can't believe what?
01:13:01That I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:08That's very sweet of you to say, Joshua.
01:13:10Oh, yeah.
01:13:23Lily's got a boyfriend.
01:13:25Lily's got a boyfriend.
01:13:27Lily's got a boyfriend.
01:13:29Lily's got a boyfriend.
01:13:30Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:32Melinda, 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 gotta 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!
01:14:02Yeah!
01:14:08Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:10She's had a seizure.
01:14:12I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete, what are the best way down here?
01:14:18There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:19Wait, wait, wait.
01:14:28Dear Lord, please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:32Amen.
01:14:37Amen.
01:14:38Amen.
01:14:39Thank you, Lee.
01:14:40You're welcome.
01:14:42Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:43Peter.
01:14:52Peter.
01:14:52He's waiting downstairs.
01:14:59Right.
01:14:59I'm afraid so.
01:15:01Please save my baby.
01:15:10I know what you have to do.
01:15:13I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:23What did she mean, you know what has to be done?
01:15:40That baby has to come out if we're to save it, even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:45That baby is ready.
01:15:47She was talking about a cesarean delivery, which 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, but I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:16:01And there wasn't any clamsy involved.
01:16:03Is there no other choice?
01:16:05Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:16:09Well, then, we'd best get that labor going.
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 as the sunrise.
01:16:34A little of this, and 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, but our heart beating and our breathing are normal.
01:17:28No contractions yet.
01:17:30It doesn't seem to be working.
01:17:32It's never taken this long.
01:17:34Let's just give it a little more time.
01:17:37We could lose Annie and the baby.
01:17:40Do you have everything here that you need to do a cesarean delivery?
01:17:49How about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:57I'm going to make some tea.
01:17:59Do you like a cup?
01:18:00No, thank you.
01:18:00No.
01:18:04Any 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.
01:18:42Contractions closer 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.
01:18:55Good job.
01:18:56Keep breathing.
01:18:57Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Help!
01:19:22Congratulations, Uncle Needle.
01:19:29She's so beautiful.
01:19:32I've delivered hundreds of babies, but I've never seen one this...
01:19:37Perfect.
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.
01:19:46We let them 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?
01:20:04Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:12Can I hold her?
01:20:14Come see.
01:20:16Come see.
01:20:18Come see.
01:20:20Come see.
01:20:22We're still on poker!
01:20:24We're still on the horse.
01:20:25We're still on the horse.
01:20:26We're still on the horse.
01:20:27We're still on the horse.
01:20:28We're still on the horse's...
01:20:29It's so beautiful...
01:20:30We're still on the horse.
01:20:31You've got that, fella?
01:20:32Hey, you got that, fella?
01:20:49How about your present?
01:20:50Present?
01:20:53These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:55When I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:20:59Well, by 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.
01:21:14Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter, I could use a little help in here.
01:21:31I'm coming.
01:21:31Lord, 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.
01:21:47Hey, are you all right?
01:21:59I'm fine.
01:22:00Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:02I'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.
01:22:14And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:16What 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?
01:22:28Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:31Let's enjoy her what we can.
01:22:42Thank you very much, Nick.
01:22:43It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:45And Belinda.
01:22:46Well, I can never thank you enough.
01:22:48Well, I wish I could take all the credit, but I had some expert help.
01:22:53This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:56I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:58Me 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.
01:23:07I thought you'd do.
01:23:18Bye.
01:23:19Bye.
01:23:19Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:46How do I thank you, Mary?
01:23:48Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:53I learned a lot from you.
01:23:55And I from you.
01:23:57I may bring them into the world, but you keep them alive and kicking once they're here.
01:24:01Now, if you ever need a good midwife, you know where to find me.
01:24:07Oh.
01:24:07Oh, young man, I'm going to need a hand here.
01:24:24All right.
01:24:26Here we go.
01:24:27Wait a minute.
01:24:27One, 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.
01:24:40Yes, ma'am.
01:24:41Yeah, get out!
01:24:43Get!
01:24:44Get!
01:24:46Get!
01:24:47Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:48Get!
01:24:49Get!
01:24:54Where are you and Mary whispering to each other?
01:25:00Oh, she's telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:08You mean?
01:25:09Mm-hmm.
01:25:12Are you sure?
01:25:14I'm a doctor.
01:25:15I know a pregnant woman when I see one, especially when I am one.
01:25:22Hey!
01:25:22We'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.
01:25:50Mm-hmm.
01:25:52Uh, now wait up.
01:25:55Now wait up a bit.
01:25:58How far along are you?
