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.
00:01:39Dums 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.
00:02:14Is there a tonic I can take for this anemia?
00:02:16There is a tonic, but eating vegetables would be much more effective.
00:02:19Lloyd doesn't really like all those vegetables.
00:02:22He prefers his meat and potatoes.
00:02:33You take two spoonfuls twice a day and come and see me in a week.
00:02:38It's very important that my coming to see you is kept private.
00:02:41What goes on between a doctor and a patient is always very private.
00:02:56Hello, Lee.
00:02:58Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:59You're eating that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:01Well, I'm just trying to wear him down for the ride home.
00:03:05You're here early, you're here late.
00:03:07Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going.
00:03:09Aren't you expecting company?
00:03:11My wife's best friend from medical school.
00:03:13Well, she should get here any day now.
00:03:14I was referring to that apprentice of yours.
00:03:16He should be here on Thursday's stage.
00:03:18I'll leave you to your work, Lee.
00:03:21Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:23Take me to the doctor.
00:03:26All finished?
00:03:28It'll be $2 for the doctor and 50 cents for the medicine.
00:03:32I'm sorry your husband doesn't allow me any extra money.
00:03:46I have to use the sock money I've saved up.
00:03:49Why don't we just call it a dollar even?
00:03:53That's very kind of you.
00:03:55Don't mention it, Mrs. McQueen.
00:03:57Tell her all these are, we've got medicine.
00:04:01I have relapses.
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.
00:04:13I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:20That's a perfect child.
00:04:22Here it comes.
00:04:25Easy.
00:04:26Hey!
00:04:27Hey!
00:04:28Come on!
00:04:30Settle down now.
00:04:32Settle yourself.
00:04:33Hey!
00:04:34Easy now!
00:04:35I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:39Come on.
00:04:42That was a close-up!
00:04:44Aunt Annie's here!
00:04:58Aunt Annie!
00:05:00Oh, Lillian, my love!
00:05:02She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:06Sure.
00:05:07She, uh, looks very round.
00:05:09I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:11Oh, let me get that.
00:05:12Oh, it's fine.
00:05:14Everyone treats me like a china doll.
00:05:16I'm not gonna break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:20Me too.
00:05:21I can't tell you how much I appreciate you looking after Annie while I'm away.
00:05:27I didn't want to take a surveying job this close to her having the baby, but we need the money.
00:05:32I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:34But you're mine at ease, Pete.
00:05:36We're happy to have her.
00:05:37My mother would have stayed with Annie.
00:05:39But I wanted to come visit my best friend and her family before the baby comes.
00:05:43And we're so glad you did.
00:05:44How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:46Broken bones and bee stings.
00:05:48Anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:51The town loves Mom.
00:05:52They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:54Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:58Hmm.
00:05:59Well, how about I start cleaning and Lee?
00:06:01You'll help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:16Hi, Sal.
00:06:19It's good having Annie here.
00:06:21It is.
00:06:23She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:25I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:27Why 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?
00:06:40I'm not pregnant.
00:06:42Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:44We've tried for so long.
00:06:46We have more than we can handle with Lill.
00:06:48Oh, I know, but...
00:06:50It's just that when Annie found out the news,
00:06:55it 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 gonna have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:12And all good things come in God's time,
00:07:14and...
00:07:16Maybe we should just let him decide.
00:07:18What if he doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:29Hey.
00:07:31Come on.
00:07:32Let's go help Lill finish the deuces.
00:07:35Hmm?
00:07:48I guess I'd best believe him now.
00:07:51Peter, please be careful.
00:07:52Yes.
00:07:53My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:56I love you.
00:07:57I love you too.
00:08:03Bye ladies.
00:08:04Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:05Will be.
00:08:08Step up!
00:08:09Boy, are you alright?
00:08:12I don't know.
00:08:13Ha!
00:08:14Oh no!
00:08:15No!
00:08:17Oh!
00:08:18Oh!
00:08:19Oh!
00:08:21Oh!
00:08:22Oh!
00:08:23Oh!
00:08:24Oh!
00:08:26Oh!
00:08:27Oh!
00:08:29Oh!
00:08:30Oh!
00:08:31Oh!
00:08:32Oh!
00:08:33Oh!
00:08:34Oh!
00:08:35Well, it's time, isn't it?
00:08:38Bags.
00:08:39Got it.
00:08:40Check on the team, Mike.
00:08:42Welcome home, darling.
00:08:44Oh, thank you for your views.
00:08:46How's the trip?
00:08:48Yeah.
00:08:56You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:08:59Lee Owens.
00:09:00Welcome, Sykes.
00:09:01How's your trip?
00:09:02Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:09:05Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:09:06Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:08Yes, sir.
00:09:09Well, Saxon's a nice little town.
00:09:11I hope you like it.
00:09:12I expect so.
00:09:14Can I help you with your things?
00:09:15Don't have much.
00:09:18All right.
00:09:19Come on, let me show you the shop.
00:09:20Sounds good.
00:09:23So we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:26Liberty work and rolling stock.
00:09:28Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:30Now, when your blows are even and you can work a straight piece of metal, those will be your tools.
00:09:37It's hard work.
00:09:38But you managed to make something that lasts a generation or two.
00:09:41Well, it gives you a sense of pride.
00:09:44I reckon that's true.
00:09:45What do you say?
00:09:48You ready to get started?
00:09:49Yes, sir.
00:09:50All right, then.
00:09:59How was your walk?
00:10:01Tearing around a 30-pound sack of flour.
00:10:04Slow day?
00:10:05Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone comes in from getting caught on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder.
00:10:12You know, when I was traveling through Selina last month, there was a rash of copperhead snake bites.
00:10:16It felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:20I 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.
00:10:39Linda, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:42You can tell me anything, you know that.
00:10:46Oh!
00:10:47What 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?
00:10:59It isn't that.
00:11:01It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:04Let me finish some things up and we'll get you home.
00:11:12You know, my pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:16You always walk?
00:11:17Well, we've never been riding.
00:11:19You walking to my camp?
00:11:21No.
00:11:23I got a horse to give to Will and.
00:11:24Well, 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.
00:11:39I stick with wagons.
00:11:40You'd better port.
00:11:43I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:46What happened today?
00:11:48Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:50And that's coming from your doctor, 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 going to be fine.
00:12:05Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:12That's fine.
00:12:13And you must be Joshua.
00:12:16Welcome to her home.
00:12:17Very nice to meet you, Mrs. Owens.
00:12:19Uh, that's Dr. Owens.
00:12:22You're a doctor?
00:12:23Yes, as is my best friend, Dr. Annie Watson.
00:12:26It's a pleasure to meet you, Joshua.
00:12:28Ma'am.
00:12:30It's funny.
00:12:30I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:33Allowed?
00:12:34No, I just...
00:12:35And just who do we need permission from?
00:12:36Go easy on him, Lil.
00:12:38He just got here.
00:12:39I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:41Apparently not.
00:12:47That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:49We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:51You'll get used to it.
00:12:54Oh, now.
00:12:56Let's go get washed up.
00:12:59Smells like my favorite.
00:13:01Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:13:03Indeed.
00:13:11Miss Owens?
00:13:19Mr. Coyle?
00:13:21I just want you to know...
00:13:23I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:27I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:30Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:32I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:36Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:37They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:40A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:42I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:45I swear.
00:13:46It's just...
00:13:47Well...
00:13:48I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:51I'm apologizing.
00:13:53I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:55Apology accepted.
00:13:56Well, I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:02Well, this isn't for school.
00:14:04So you read for fun?
00:14:06I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa let me.
00:14:09Well, all right.
00:14:11I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:16Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:26Nice young man.
00:14:34I hadn't noticed.
00:14:38Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:40Good night, Pa.
00:14:41Come in.
00:14:59How are you?
00:15:01I feel so...
00:15:02All right?
00:15:15Okay, good.
00:15:17Can I help?
00:15:18Can I help?
00:15:20Can we just let's go?
00:15:21Just...
00:15:23I think the suit doesn't...
00:15:26It's okay.
00:15:28It says it's fine.
00:15:30It says it's fine.
00:15:30It says it's fine.
00:15:31It says it's fine.
00:15:32It says it's fine.
00:15:34It says it's fine.
00:15:36It says it's fine.
00:15:47It says it's fine.
00:15:52It says it's fine.
00:15:53Oh, my God.
00:16:23Oh, my God.
00:16:53Oh, my God, right?
00:16:55So...
00:16:56Baby.
00:16:58She's fine.
00:16:59Oh, my God.
00:17:29I'll telegraph Peter first thing in the morning.
00:17:31Tell him what's happened.
00:17:33And let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:17:37Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:38Well, 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, and 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, and 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.
00:18:21Prepare 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.
00:18:40That 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.
00:19:09All right.
00:19:10Have 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.
00:19:29I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:32Lee Owens.
00:19:32Dr. McQueen, sorry, 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.
00:20:06I 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.
00:20:14Maybe if you weren't so hard-headed, you would realize that.
00:20:18Now, my advice...
00:20:18I don't need your mouth nor your advice, and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:22Doctors aren't worth a...
00:20:23Who's the holler?
00:20:29Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:30Yes, I'm just frustrated at a very stubborn and hard-headed man.
00:20:34Lloyd McQueen is truly set in his ways, but he's still a child of our maker.
00:20:39He has no compassion for his wife's condition.
00:20:41Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times and lose sight of the compassion we should have for others?
00:20:47There I go, preaching again.
00:20:50Oh, 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 a steady blow.
00:21:10All right.
00:21:10Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:18What's running 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?
00:21:28Huh.
00:21:29I never would have known.
00:21:31I mean, she and Mrs... I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:36Matter of fact.
00:21:37But yeah, 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.
00:22:00Even 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.
00:22:07Knowing 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 a 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 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...
00:22:37Mary was concerned because she was caring so far out in front.
00:22:40She said it would be a breached birth, and...
00:22:42She 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.
00:22:53Don't be nervous.
00:22:58It'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.
00:23:21We'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?
00:23:35Yeah.
00:23:41We'll best get supper ready.
00:23:42Lee and Lillian will be home soon.
00:23:45I'm 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.
00:24:12I just looked in on Annie.
00:24:13She's out for the night.
00:24:15She 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.
00:24:27I suppose it's why we're such good friends.
00:24:31I 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? He's only a couple years older.
00:24:43Doc, he's an apprentice blacksmith. I want better for Lilian.
00:24:46I'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 Lilian and Joshua had taken interest in one another,
00:25:05I don't think it's our place to stand in their way.
00:25:07Besides, telling Lilian she can't have some things.
00:25:11Like daring to try to stop her.
00:25:13I 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.
00:25:25And if Lil wants to go to college, I darn sure want to see it happen.
00:25:29I don't want her tied down to Saxon.
00:25:31I 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.
00:26:09Please allow me to pass.
00:26:11We need to get to know each other.
00:26:12I 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.
00:26:34Knock 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.
00:26:42That 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.
00:26:55Please 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.
00:27:01Good morning, Miss Owens.
00:27:14You on your way to school?
00:27:15Indeed I am.
00:27:17May I walk with you?
00:27:18I did the best I could, Jim.
00:27:28But you better go easy on it, all right?
00:27:30Your 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.
00:27:50I guess that's the future I have to look forward to.
00:27:54Not such a bad life, really.
00:27:59So what about you?
00:28:01You're a doctor like your ma?
00:28:03I don't know.
00:28:04I 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.
00:28:12Well, I better get to work.
00:28:15Have a nice day, Joshua.
00:28:18You too, Lily.
00:28:22Yeah, I heard her.
00:28:29I 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.
00:28:36But it's only been three days since you had pain and felt faint.
00:28:39You know the symptoms and treatment as well as I do.
00:28:42That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:48Is that singing?
00:28:50I would know that voice anywhere.
00:28:52That's Mary.
00:28:53Your mother-in-law?
00:28:54What reason does she have to be here?
00:28:56Mary doesn't need a reason to do anything.
00:28:58Well, this must be it.
00:29:14Oh, Jesus.
00:29:15Thank you, my good man.
00:29:17And you have a blessed day.
00:29:20And you must be the infamous Doc Owen.
00:29:25Oh, infamous.
00:29:27Mary Watson.
00:29:28Oh, do you know that already?
00:29:30What?
00:29:31Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:33Oh, would you be a dear and bring my things along?
00:29:36Hmm.
00:29:43Mary, 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.
00:30:05Oh, 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
00:30:22much 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.
00:30:36You 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.
00:30:52There I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw.
00:30:58I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night.
00:31:03I expected twins, not triplets.
00:31:07In a blizzard.
00:31:09Oh, the little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:31:13Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:16Women giving birth are always an emergency.
00:31:20That's the penalty we pay for 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.
00:31:43Honestly, Mary, you can't possibly...
00:31:45Actually, I am a little tired.
00:31:47I'm gonna go to bed.
00:31:50I can manage on my own.
00:31:53Good 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.
00:32:08Well, I don't know.
00:32:13Thank you for dinner, Dr. Owens.
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?
00:32:43So 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.
00:33:09Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:33:11Maybe on Saturday, we 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.
00:33:24Good night.
00:33:38I'm behind the library.
00:33:39Let's see what you got there.
00:33:54Well, you're, uh, 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, Lillian and that.
00:34:14You want permission to court Lillian, right?
00:34:18Yes, sir.
00:34:20Well, I don't want her distracted 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.
00:34:34In the meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:38Lillian 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.
00:34:56You must be so frustrated, pooped up inside all the time.
00:35:01I will be here with her all day.
00:35:05Hey, you tend to your patients and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:09If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:16Have a nice day.
00:35:22Praise the Lord, they're free.
00:35:26Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:28We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:31Oh, I'm coming to town.
00:35:44Doc Owens, can I talk to you?
00:35:46Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:50I only have a minute.
00:35:52I left Lloyd at the general store.
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 young'uns.
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. Moy.
00:36:40Your friend Belinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:36:54I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me, but everybody likes me.
00:37:10She isn't happy.
00:37:12She's been trying to have a baby.
00:37:14And Belinda just feels discouraged.
00:37:17Me showing up in my condition and staying till the baby comes.
00:37:20I think it's just another painful reminder.
00:37:24Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:37:27If it's baby trouble she's got.
00:37:29I've surely got the cure.
00:37:32How about a sugary treat?
00:37:33I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:38It isn't here yet.
00:37:40It's been over a week.
00:37:41You said it'd be here by now.
00:37:43The freight line lost the shipping order.
00:37:45There's nothing I can do about it.
00:37:47There's something I could do if there was another general store within ten miles of here.
00:37:51It'll be here within a week.
00:37:53I'm here, Lloyd.
00:37:56What 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 or late.
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?
00:38:24I've seen this a bunch during and after pregnancy.
00:38:30This is a severe case of anemia.
00:38:32She don't need Colin, 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.
00:38:43And you can't see the forest for the trees.
00:38:45Doc Owen is trying to save your wife's life.
00:38:49She's dying.
00:38:50You get her over to the clinic
00:38:54and you beg Doc Owen for more of that tonic.
00:38:58Don't talk to me like that.
00:38:59I'll talk to you anyway I won't.
00:39:02Get her to the clinic.
00:39:07You better pray to the merciful and good Lord
00:39:11that she doesn't slam the door in your ungrateful face.
00:39:18Amen.
00:39:20I gave you a double dose
00:39:33so do not take any more today.
00:39:34No, ma'am.
00:39:35Starting tomorrow morning
00:39:36take two teaspoons every morning.
00:39:38And if you don't get your strength back
00:39:39in four days
00:39:40get back in here.
00:39:46I'd like to apologize.
00:39:47The last time we spoke
00:39:50I lost my temper.
00:39:52What'll owe you for the tonic?
00:39:53Only that you allow her to keep taking it.
00:39:56We don't need no charity.
00:39:57The first one was already paid for
00:39:58this is just a replacement.
00:40:01Step up!
00:40:02Yes, dear.
00:40:20I'm sorry.
00:40:21You sleeping?
00:40:22Well, not anymore.
00:40:23My apprentice wants to court Lillian.
00:40:29His name is Joshua.
00:40:32I told him I'd think about it.
00:40:35Well, then think.
00:40:38Don't think too long.
00:40:40Lillian's grown up.
00:40:41I'm having a hard time with it.
00:40:43You're having a hard time letting her grow up.
00:40:46Just try to protect her.
00:40:48I don't think she needs protection from Joshua.
00:40:51He's a very nice young man.
00:40:53That's all you have to say about her?
00:40:56Good night, sweetheart.
00:41:03Alright.
00:41:05Tomorrow I'll give Joshua my permission to court Lillian.
00:41:08I don't think I don't know about your little excursion with Annie.
00:41:24This town is filled with gossips.
00:41:26Can't keep a secret for more than five minutes.
00:41:28It's a pretty little town, Sykeston.
00:41:31I can see why you like it here.
00:41:33May I ask why you feel the need to go against every instruction I have for Annie?
00:41:38I don't deliberately go against your word.
00:41:42We just disagree about how to treat her.
00:41:45This isn't a competition, Mary.
00:41:47If a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia,
00:41:50I wouldn't dream of telling you how to treat them.
00:41:53That's your business.
00:41:55Babies are my business.
00:41:57Have been for 30 years.
00:41:59It's just there's been so many new advancements.
00:42:02Sometimes the old ways are best.
00:42:04Annie may have a serious condition
00:42:06which could be fatal to both her and the baby.
00:42:09Are you sure?
00:42:09Of course I'm not sure,
00:42:10but I'm not taking any chances.
00:42:13So it's true what they say
00:42:14that doctors only practice medicine.
00:42:19This conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere.
00:42:24So Annie tells me you're barren.
00:42:26Or, uh, or having trouble anyway.
00:42:29I don't think that's any of your concern.
00:42:31I see this problem a lot.
00:42:34If you want, I could give you some remedies that are guaranteed to work.
00:42:37I know how it's done, Mary.
00:42:38I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
00:42:41So what do you think is the problem?
00:42:43You're too high strung.
00:42:45Folks worry too much about work, family,
00:42:49or whether or not they can have a baby.
00:42:51Then years go by and nothing happens.
00:42:55Then one day, they decide to stop trying,
00:42:57and before you know it,
00:42:59they find they're with child.
00:43:01So your sage advice for me is to relax.
00:43:06Read a book before you go to bed.
00:43:08Take some deep breaths.
00:43:11And before you know it,
00:43:12I'll be back to deliver your little one.
00:43:15I'll make sure I try that.
00:43:16Every baby boy needs his own blanket.
00:43:38Don't you agree?
00:43:39Yes, I do.
00:43:40I'm going to head to the shop for a few hours.
00:43:49I'll be back in time for supper.
00:43:51Don't you ever take time off?
00:43:53Oh, the good book says that a man who doesn't work
00:43:55doesn't deserve to eat.
00:43:57I ain't got a lot of work to do.
00:43:58We just thought you'd have more time off
00:43:59once you hired an apprentice.
00:44:01And I do.
00:44:01Now I'm only two weeks behind instead of six.
00:44:07Lillian, you look lovely.
00:44:08Hey, where are you headed off to?
00:44:10Joshua and I are having a picnic.
00:44:11You enjoy yourself,
00:44:13and please tell Joshua that we said hello.
00:44:15I will.
00:44:16You'll be back in time for supper now.
00:44:17No exceptions.
00:44:18I will.
00:44:19I promise.
00:44:21Bye, everyone.
00:44:22Bye, dear.
00:44:37I love it.
00:44:38The sea is everything.
00:44:40It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe.
00:44:42Its breath is pure and healthy.
00:44:44It is an immense desert where man is never lonely,
00:44:46for he feels life stirring on all sides.
00:44:49The sea is the only embodiment of a supernatural
00:44:51and wonderful existence.
00:44:53It is nothing but love and emotion.
00:44:55It's the living infinite, as one of your poets has said.
00:45:00I've been reading for almost two hours.
00:45:02You must be bored.
00:45:03I don't think I can ever get bored listening to you talk.
00:45:06You're just saying that.
00:45:07No, I'm not.
00:45:09I swear.
00:45:10It's just, I'd like this Captain Nemo
00:45:12if he weren't holding his friends hostage all the time.
00:45:15I can't let them go,
00:45:15and they might tell the world who he is.
00:45:18Twenty thousand leagues is an allegory.
00:45:19It's about personal freedom.
00:45:21Nemo means nobody in Latin,
00:45:22and he's invisible to the world
00:45:24and wants to keep it that way.
00:45:25You're brilliant.
00:45:26You know that?
00:45:27I am brilliant.
00:45:36Lee?
00:45:37You working today?
00:45:40You work harder than any man I know.
00:45:43Well, I can't let the customers down.
00:45:45Besides, it gives me thinking time.
00:45:47Anything that you'd like to share with your pastor?
00:45:49This 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.
00:46:06Our children grow up, start spreading their wings.
00:46:10A father has to be aware of that
00:46:12and try to grow with his child.
00:46:15Yeah.
00:46:16Belinda tolerates more than I do.
00:46:17She's a mother.
00:46:19The good Lord gave them the patience of Job
00:46:21when it comes to raising their children.
00:46:23He shortchanged fathers in that area.
00:46:26Yeah.
00:46:27Yeah.
00:46:33I really wish you would get some rest.
00:46:36I feel fine.
00:46:38Looks like someone may have been wrong about my condition.
00:46:41Perhaps.
00:46:44So if things improve with Lee,
00:46:46he says he isn't bothered,
00:46:48but I still sense that he's disappointed we can't have a baby.
00:46:52Well, maybe you're just being overly sensitive
00:46:54and you think that he's disappointed.
00:46:56Maybe.
00:46:58You know, I'm starting to think
00:46:59that maybe she regrets marrying me.
00:47:02Now, Lee,
00:47:03that is just plain nonsense.
00:47:05She's proud as a peacock that she married you.
00:47:08Maybe.
00:47:09Have you spoken to her about it?
00:47:11In a roundabout way,
00:47:12of course she says I'm wrong.
00:47:16Still, 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,
00:47:25trying to have a baby.
00:47:29So far, no luck.
00:47:30You have to have faith.
00:47:32Sometimes it's hard, Reverend.
00:47:36Talk to her about your feelings.
00:47:40I'd best be getting home.
00:47:42Mrs. Davis will give me an earful
00:47:43if I'm late for supper.
00:47:44Yeah, myself included.
00:47:45Well, I see.
00:47:54You didn't need my help
00:47:56putting supper on the table.
00:47:57You're taking a nap, man.
00:47:59We just wanted you to be able to rest.
00:48:00I'll rest enough when I'm dead.
00:48:03Give me that knife
00:48:04before you cut 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
00:48:19than to spend my entire life
00:48:21plowing fields.
00:48:22So, he said if I got good enough,
00:48:23maybe I can find some work in Philadelphia.
00:48:26Sounds like he cares about you a lot.
00:48:28Yeah, my family's pretty close.
00:48:31It's kind of strange, though.
00:48:33You know, being out here all by myself.
00:48:35I have three sisters and two brothers
00:48:37and not a moment of peace.
00:48:38Back at the boarding house,
00:48:39I got nothing but quiet.
00:48:41I know what you mean.
00:48:43I mostly grew up in an orphanage
00:48:44until Ma and Pa adopted me when I was 10.
00:48:46I'd spent so long in a room with other kids,
00:48:49so I couldn't wait to have a room of my own.
00:48:52Now, I miss having someone to talk to.
00:48:54You have me.
00:48:57Do, don't I?
00:49:00So, tell me something.
00:49:01How'd you ever find a place like this, anyway?
00:49:05I stumbled across it by accident
00:49:07while riding one day.
00:49:08That's so far off the main roads,
00:49:10no one really comes out here.
00:49:11So, I brought some of my old stuff,
00:49:14and now it's where I come to be alone.
00:49:17I can see why.
00:49:18Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean
00:49:20where he went to escape.
00:49:22This reminds me of it.
00:49:25Well, the timber still seems...
00:49:26I wouldn't do that.
00:49:28Whoa!
00:49:31Not as sound as you might think.
00:49:34You're probably right.
00:49:36I think it's best we pack up.
00:49:42Well, I'm happy to see you and Mary
00:49:44are getting along.
00:49:45You know, her fertility advice to me
00:49:48was to relax
00:49:49and read a book before bed.
00:49:52Did you try it?
00:49:53Of course not.
00:49:54She's been doing this longer
00:49:55than we've been alive.
00:49:57I can't believe you, Annie Watson.
00:49:59You've spent three years in medical school,
00:50:01five years practicing medicine,
00:50:03and you're gonna believe
00:50:04that woman's folk magic?
00:50:05It's rubbish, plain and simple.
00:50:07We ask people to believe in things
00:50:09they don't understand, and they do,
00:50:11because they have trust and faith in us,
00:50:13just like they have faith in the Lord.
00:50:15Okay, it is not the same thing,
00:50:17and we're talking about Mary here.
00:50:18Why do you have such a hard time
00:50:19believing in Mary's ways?
00:50:20Okay.
00:50:21Mary is a lovely woman,
00:50:24but you have to admit,
00:50:25she's a little touch in the head.
00:50:27She doesn't like me any more
00:50:28than I like her.
00:50:29Really?
00:50:30The other day at the general store,
00:50:32Mary defended you
00:50:33to the ends of the earth.
00:50:34What are you talking about?
00:50:36The man with the anemic wife?
00:50:38The one that you said
00:50:38was such a success story?
00:50:40Mary is the reason
00:50:41that he brought her back to you.
00:50:43That's why Lloyd McQueen
00:50:44brought his wife back to me?
00:50:46Mary unloaded on him like a tornado,
00:50:48spoke up for you,
00:50:49and just plain made him cower.
00:50:53Come on.
00:50:55Let's go.
00:51:03Do you have any idea what time it is?
00:51:05Hi, Pa.
00:51:06You were supposed to be home for supper.
00:51:09Joshua and I weren't that hungry,
00:51:10so we decided to stay out
00:51:11a little while longer.
00:51:12Well, it's well past supper.
00:51:13That's more than a little while.
00:51:14Why are you so angry?
00:51:16I thought I could trust your judgment,
00:51:18but apparently I was wrong.
00:51:19What's that supposed to mean?
00:51:20It means you can't spend
00:51:21any more time with Joshua,
00:51:22Coil, until I say so.
00:51:24You'll go to school,
00:51:24help your mother at the clinic,
00:51:25and come straight home.
00:51:26For how long?
00:51:28As long as it takes me
00:51:28to trust you again.
00:51:29That's completely unfair.
00:51:31Joshua's only two years older than I am,
00:51:33and no one tells him what to do.
00:51:34No one said the world was fair,
00:51:35young lady.
00:51:37Lil.
00:51:38Lil.
00:51:40I was worried about you.
00:51:42Hello, Joshua.
00:52:07Good afternoon, man.
00:52:09Uh, Mr. Owens told me
00:52:12how much trouble I caused
00:52:13the other night.
00:52:14I just wanted to come by
00:52:15and say how sorry I am
00:52:16for keeping Lillian out so late.
00:52:18You needn't place the blame
00:52:19all on yourself.
00:52:20She's old enough to know better.
00:52:22No, I'm still sorry.
00:52:23Ma, I can't find the...
00:52:25bandages.
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
00:52:36of you seeing each other.
00:52:38Thanks, Ma.
00:52:39Thanks, Ma.
00:52:42Well, I have work to do.
00:52:45It was nice to see you, Joshua.
00:52:46There's always room open
00:52:47at the dinner table for you.
00:52:50Thank you, Ma.
00:52:56I'm sorry to get you in the trouble.
00:52:58You didn't do anything wrong,
00:52:59and neither did I.
00:53:00I'm a grown woman,
00:53:01and I don't need my pa deciding
00:53:02how late I can and can't stay out.
00:53:04He's just worried about you is all.
00:53:06Well, he doesn't need to be.
00:53:07There's no need to be crossed, Lily.
00:53:09I mean, I'll still be here
00:53:10when you get off punishment.
00:53:11I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:14I wanted to return this.
00:53:16I finished it.
00:53:17Already?
00:53:17I just gave it to you.
00:53:19Once I got started,
00:53:20it was hard to quit.
00:53:22I mean, the sun was already up
00:53:23when I finally closed the book.
00:53:24So you stayed up all night
00:53:25just to read about Captain Nemo?
00:53:27No.
00:53:27I don't think I would have gotten
00:53:28much sleep with or without him.
00:53:33I'll be thinking about you.
00:53:34Me, too.
00:53:55Mary?
00:53:57In here, dear.
00:53:58In here, dear.
00:54:04Annie, should you be up?
00:54:06Where are you going?
00:54:09I've decided to head on home.
00:54:11I can see you're in good hands.
00:54:13You're leaving?
00:54:15Before the baby comes?
00:54:17Oh, you'll do fine.
00:54:20And besides,
00:54:21the last thing you need
00:54:23is an old granny midwife
00:54:25gumming up the works.
00:54:27This doesn't have anything to do
00:54:29with the disagreement
00:54:29between you and Belinda, does it?
00:54:31Oh, no, no, no.
00:54:34Truth is,
00:54:35I'm feeling homesick.
00:54:38I miss sleeping in my own bed.
00:54:41And my patients back home
00:54:44don't have a smart lady doctor
00:54:46to take care of them.
00:54:47If you've made your decision,
00:54:48I can't stop you.
00:54:50I would really love
00:54:51for you to stay, though.
00:54:53I want my family here
00:54:54when the baby comes.
00:54:55Belinda is your family, sweetheart.
00:54:59And Peter will be back
00:55:00with you next week.
00:55:02Besides,
00:55:03all of you will be home
00:55:04before long,
00:55:05and somebody's got to
00:55:07get the house ready.
00:55:10I'm going to go home
00:55:11to check on Annie.
00:55:12I shouldn't be long.
00:55:13If there's an emergency,
00:55:14just send them my way
00:55:15or come running,
00:55:17which you're very good at.
00:55:18I will, Ma.
00:55:18And thank you.
00:55:19For what?
00:55:20For understanding
00:55:21about me and Joshua.
00:55:22Believe it or not,
00:55:23I was your age once.
00:55:24I'm not going to keep her
00:55:38from the church social.
00:55:40You may not be able
00:55:41to go with her,
00:55:41but you'll see her there.
00:55:44In the meantime,
00:55:45we have an order to finish.
00:55:48Well, all right.
00:55:49I like your attitude.
00:55:54You'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
00:56:04off into town.
00:56:05Annie, I just don't think
00:56:06it's a good idea
00:56:06for you to be carrying luggage
00:56:07and walking into town.
00:56:09It was my idea, Belinda.
00:56:10And I've been all over
00:56:11this whole territory
00:56:12through my entire pregnancy.
00:56:14I think I can handle
00:56:14a short walk into town.
00:56:16Doc Owens!
00:56:17Danny.
00:56:23Lillian told me
00:56:23he was here.
00:56:24Ma's in labor.
00:56:25Okay, there's a horse
00:56:26and buggy in the barn.
00:56:27Help me hook it up.
00:56:28Yes, ma'am.
00:56:31I trust you weren't
00:56:32walking to town
00:56:33along the way.
00:56:35All right, Peach Pie.
00:56:37You get back in the house
00:56:38and stay put.
00:56:40Belinda and I
00:56:41have a baby to deliver.
00:56:42Mrs. Travis is my patient.
00:56:45If you find
00:56:46you don't need me,
00:56:47you have my permission
00:56:48to just shove me
00:56:49out of the way.
00:56:50But if you do,
00:56:52I'm there.
00:56:55Fine, but only because
00:56:56I don't have time
00:56:57to argue with you.
00:57:08Thank you, young man.
00:57:12It's never taken this long.
00:57:15The first few hours
00:57:16seem normal,
00:57:17but then it just stopped.
00:57:18What stopped?
00:57:18The contractions?
00:57:19No, Doc, the baby.
00:57:21It's like it's stuck,
00:57:21but I can't see the head.
00:57:23I'll see you to her.
00:57:24Your mama's gonna be fine.
00:57:28It's a fetal dystocia.
00:57:30A what?
00:57:31The baby's shoulder is stuck.
00:57:32What are you fixing
00:57:33to do with that?
00:57:34We have to get the baby out
00:57:35before it suffocates.
00:57:36We start pulling.
00:57:38We could make things worse.
00:57:39What should we do?
00:57:40Well, if you can't get
00:57:42the baby out from the inside,
00:57:45you'd try it from the outside.
00:57:48All right, help me with her now.
00:57:50That's good.
00:57:51What are we doing?
00:57:52We're gonna flatten out
00:57:54her hip bones.
00:57:57Travis, lay down for me.
00:57:59Now, we're gonna see
00:58:01you're stuck and who's not.
00:58:03Oh!
00:58:03Oh!
00:58:04Oh!
00:58:04Oh!
00:58:04Oh!
00:58:05Oh!
00:58:05Oh!
00:58:06Oh!
00:58:06Oh!
00:58:07Oh!
00:58:07Oh!
00:58:07Oh!
00:58:08Oh!
00:58:08Oh!
00:58:09Oh!
00:58:09Oh!
00:58:10Oh!
00:58:10Oh!
00:58:12Oh!
00:58:12Oh!
00:58:13Oh!
00:58:14Oh!
00:58:14Oh!
00:58:15Oh!
00:58:15There.
00:58:15Oh!
00:58:18Oh!
00:58:23Oh!
00:58:24Oh!
00:58:29It's going to be all right.
00:58:36Pa?
00:58:39Pa?
00:58:39Hello, Joshua.
00:58:45Where'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?
00:58:56Your pa said I could see you there.
00:58:59But I can't escort you.
00:59:01Sorry.
00:59:09Joshua.
00:59:21Pa is being so unreasonable.
00:59:24We were late coming home, okay?
00:59:26Don't tell me you're on his side.
00:59:28What's the difference in an hour or so?
00:59:30We got home just fine.
00:59:31He just doesn't trust me.
00:59:32Your pa had no way of knowing whether you were all right
00:59:35when you didn't make it home on time.
00:59:36You sound just like pa.
00:59:37Ma is the only one who understands.
00:59:41Lilian, wait a second.
00:59:54Get out! Get out!
00:59:55Get out!
00:59:57Get out!
01:00:03Get out!
01:00:03Shh!
01:00:03Shh!
01:00:04Shh!
01:00:04Shh!
01:00:04Shh!
01:00:04Shh!
01:00:04Shh!
01:00:05Shh!
01:00:05Shh!
01:00:06Shh!
01:00:06Shh!
01:00:07Shh!
01:00:07It'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.
01:00:23Ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:00:28Isn't he beautiful?
01:00:30He sure is.
01:00:30He sure is.
01:00:32Ah!
01:00:34He better be.
01:00:34Leave it to a boy to jam up the works.
01:00:36Uh, that's not doctor's work.
01:00:39It doesn't matter who does it, just as long as it gets done.
01:00:51It doesn't matter who does it, just as long as it gets done.
01:00:59I learned something today that they didn't teach me medical school.
01:01:21All right, whoa!
01:01:47Whoa!
01:01:51You seen Lillian?
01:02:01No, why?
01:02:02Well, we thought she might be with you. She'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 up to find you.
01:02:12She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:02:15It's about to get dark outside if she gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:19I think I know where she is.
01:02:21It's worse this time. I feel like I could faint.
01:02:33Okay, okay, let's get her inside.
01:02:45It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:49I think she's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be the only one who's going to be
01:03:19How much further?
01:03:23It's just up ahead.
01:03:32How are you feeling?
01:03:34I'm really not as light as it is before.
01:03:37I like to just go to bed.
01:03:39Let's get you upstairs to a darkened room.
01:03:42Doctor's orders.
01:03:49Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:04:19Was it like this before?
01:04:21No, sir.
01:04:22Looks like there was a cave-in.
01:04:24She might be hurt.
01:04:27This is one of her lamps.
01:04:29Come on, let's go.
01:04:30Lil!
01:04:32Lil!
01:04:41It's right up there.
01:04:43I see her.
01:04:46Lil!
01:04:49Give me a hand with this.
01:04:52One, two, three!
01:04:57You got it?
01:05:00Lil!
01:05:02Lil!
01:05:04Come on, talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:12Pa?
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:14I'm here, honey.
01:05:17Just take it easy.
01:05:19Just stay down, all right?
01:05:22I'm going to get you out of here.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:32How's Lillian?
01:05:47A few cuts and bruises, but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:55She's out for the night.
01:05:57Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:05:59Give her a couple of days.
01:06:01She'll be right as rain.
01:06:02At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:06:06Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:06:09Ah.
01:06:10This too shall pass.
01:06:11Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:17True miracles.
01:06:18Are you still fretting about the baby making?
01:06:22I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:24Give it up if you want.
01:06:27But I'm telling you, 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.
01:06:39What do you mean?
01:06:40Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:44It'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.
01:07:06Yes.
01:07:14Late night tonight.
01:07:17Everyone's worn out.
01:07:19A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:27You know, I think I might read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:34Really?
01:07:34You 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.
01:07:41Mm.
01:07:44Doc.
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?
01:08:05I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:08Always have been.
01:08:09Always will be.
01:08:10Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:18Yeah.
01:08:19Yeah, I like the sunrise.
01:08:25I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:28I love you too.
01:08:30Good night.
01:08:31Oh, 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.
01:08:47Sure I can't help you read it or no?
01:08:50All right.
01:08:51Shouldn'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.
01:09:17Well, 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.
01:09:33It's not the same.
01:09:35How do I know you're not going to sneak out when we're gone?
01:09:37Don't give it a second thought, Doc.
01:09:39This old ball and chain will be sitting right here like a prison warden.
01:09:44You're both against me.
01:09:45That's right.
01:09:46Read your book and pout.
01:10:00Don't you look beautiful?
01:10:02Except for this.
01:10:04I don't know who will even notice that.
01:10:06Even Joshua?
01:10:07Especially Joshua.
01:10:09Thanks for telling Joshua you can escort me to the social.
01:10:12You're still coming with your mother or not, 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.
01:10:24I'm sorry for not making curfew the other night.
01:10:28Oh, no, you 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.
01:10:35Thanks, Pa.
01:10:36Come here.
01:10:37Come here.
01:10:51And then he stepped like this.
01:10:53Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:11:05No, thank you.
01:11:06No, thank you, Joshua.
01:11:06Hey, partner, how'd you ice cream?
01:11:16Hey, partner, how'd you ice cream?
01:11:17Doc Owens, can we talk?
01:11:19Boyd, do you know my husband Lee?
01:11:23Boyd, I want to thank you.
01:11:26Mabel's as different as night and day.
01:11:28It's all I can do to keep up with her.
01:11:30Well, you do look like a brand new person.
01:11:32I've had a lot more energy.
01:11:33I still need some extra sleep in the afternoons.
01:11:35I'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.
01:11:50Thanks 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.
01:12:11Wow.
01:12:13That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:16Would you like some ice cream?
01:12:18I'd love some.
01:12:20I know the better.
01:12:37I got these telegrams.
01:12:38Where's Annie?
01:12:39The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:42Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:43I need Belinda now.
01:12:45I want to see Annie.
01:12:47Get Belinda now.
01:12:50You look beautiful.
01:12:55Say, you're handsome.
01:12:59I still can't believe it.
01:13:00Can't believe what?
01:13:03That I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:08It's very sweet of you to say, Joshua.
01:13:10I want to see you.
01:13:23Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:25Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:27Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:29Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:30Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:41Melinda! Stop going! I need you!
01:13:46Whoa! Whoa!
01:13:50Melinda!
01:13:51Peter!
01:13:51It's Annie. You gotta come quick.
01:13:54Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:13:58Yeah! Yeah!
01:13:59Stand back!
01:14:01Target!
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,
01:14:15what's the best way down here?
01:14:18There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:28Dear Lord,
01:14:29please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:36Amen.
01:14:37Amen.
01:14:39Thank you, Lee.
01:14:40You're welcome.
01:14:42Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:43Come on.
01:14:43Peter, he's waiting downstairs.
01:14:59Right.
01:14:59I'm afraid so.
01:15:01I'm afraid so.
01:15:05Please 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?
01:15:37You know what has to be done.
01:15:40That baby has to come out if we're to save it.
01:15:42even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:45That baby is ready.
01:15:47She was talking about a cesarean delivery,
01:15:49which I could do at the clinic, but under very crude conditions.
01:15:54Have 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.
01:16:04Is there no other choice?
01:16:07Not if she doesn't go into labor soup.
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.
01:16:23Women have been using it for centuries.
01:16:26Scotch broom is a weed?
01:16:27A weed the good lord made.
01:16:30His wonders to perceive.
01:16:32Does it work?
01:16:33Sure is the sunrise.
01:16:34A little bit of this, 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.
01:17:04Her temperature is slightly raised.
01:17:25But her heart beating her, breathing her, no contractions yet.
01:17:29It 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?
01:17:53I'm going to make some tea.
01:17:58Do you like a cup?
01:18:00No, thank you.
01:18:15Any news?
01:18:16Nothing yet.
01:18:18I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:20I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:23You're doing fine, Annie.
01:18:41Just keep breathing.
01:18:47Contractions closer together.
01:18:48We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family.
01:18:53It's alright.
01:18:54It's alright.
01:18:55Keep breathing.
01:18:57Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Help!
01:19:22Congratulations, Uncle Rita.
01:19:28She's so beautiful.
01:19:32I've delivered hundreds of babies,
01:19:34but I've never seen one this perfect.
01:19:38And I'm not just saying that because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:41I thought she was a boy.
01:19:44She carried like a boy.
01:19:46We live and learn, don't we, Doc?
01:19:48We sure do.
01:19:50Thank you both for being here.
01:19:52There's no other place we'd rather be.
01:19:58Is it okay if I come in?
01:20:04Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:12Can I hold her?
01:20:16Come sit.
01:20:18Careful, Dad.
01:20:24If we're here.
01:20:26Whew.
01:20:28Awww!
01:20:30Awww!
01:20:32Awww!
01:20:34Awww!
01:20:36Awww!
01:20:38Awww!
01:20:40Awww!
01:20:42Awww!
01:20:44Awww!
01:20:46Hey, you got that, fella?
01:20:48Brought you a present.
01:20:50Present?
01:20:52These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:54When I asked you for a few books,
01:20:56I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:20:58By the way you went through 20,000 links,
01:21:00I figured you'd use a few more.
01:21:02Oh, you think so?
01:21:06I should probably get going.
01:21:08Okay.
01:21:10Will I see you later?
01:21:12Sure as this is one fine day.
01:21:26Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter,
01:21:28I could use a little help in here.
01:21:30I'm coming.
01:21:34Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us,
01:21:37and the love which envelops us.
01:21:40May we always strive to walk the way you like,
01:21:43and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:46Amen.
01:21:48Hey, are you alright?
01:21:58I'm fine.
01:22:00Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:02I've gotten so used to you being at the house,
01:22:04it's gonna be too quiet when we're gone.
01:22:06Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:09I think it's time we go home.
01:22:11I'm gonna miss you so very much.
01:22:13And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:16What are you doing out of here?
01:22:21Oh, I was just getting some fresh air, talking to Annie.
01:22:24You're gonna miss her, aren't you?
01:22:27Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:30Let's enjoy her what we can.
01:22:42Thank you very much.
01:22:43It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:44And Belinda.
01:22:45I can never thank you enough.
01:22:47Well, I wish I could take all the credit,
01:22:49but I had some expert help.
01:22:52This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:54I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:57Me too.
01:22:58All aboard, folks!
01:23:00We're burning daylight!
01:23:01I think it's about that time.
01:23:03Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:05Of course.
01:23:06I thought you'd do it.
01:23:07Bye!
01:23:08I thought you'd do it.
01:23:09Bye!
01:23:18Bye!
01:23:19Bye!
01:23:20You know?
01:23:21All right, take her easy there.
01:23:34Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:46How do I thank you, Mary?
01:23:47How 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.
01:23:56I may bring them into the world.
01:23:58But you keep them alive and kicking once they're here.
01:24:01Now, if you ever need a good midwife,
01:24:05you know where to find me.
01:24:06Oh.
01:24:21There you are.
01:24:22Oh, young man, I'm gonna need a hand here.
01:24:24All right.
01:24:25Here we go.
01:24:26Oh, wait a minute.
01:24:27One, two, three.
01:24:28Oh!
01:24:29Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:30Well, Commodore, are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:37I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:39Yes, ma'am.
01:24:40Hiya!
01:24:41Get up!
01:24:43Get!
01:24:44Get up!
01:24:58What are you and Mary whispering to, Joan?
01:25:00I was just telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:08You mean?
01:25:09Mm-hmm.
01:25:10Are you sure?
01:25:13I'm a doctor.
01:25:14I know a pregnant woman when I see one,
01:25:16especially when I am one.
01:25:21Hey!
01:25:23We're gonna have a baby.
01:25:25Baby?
01:25:28We're gonna have a baby!
01:25:31Lillian Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:33Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:35Yes, ma'am.
01:25:36Joshua 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.
01:25:53Uh...
01:25:54Now, wait up.
01:25:55Now, wait up a bit.
01:25:58How far along are you?
01:26:01Ma'am, I'm serious.
01:26:03Well, we gotta start talking about names, really.
01:26:06I mean, I like to leave for a boy.
01:26:07Oh, you think it's gonna be a boy?
01:26:09Or, uh, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl?
01:26:11What do you think?
01:26:12Oh, that's very pretty.
01:26:13Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
01:26:15What do you think?
01:26:16All right, I'll hold on.
01:26:17I'll get the door for you.
01:26:18Oh, wait.
01:26:19My goodness.
01:26:21Stop it.
