Short filmTranscript
00:00:00But it would hurt my feelings if you delivered my first grandson without me.
00:00:05I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:00:07And I'm counting on you.
00:00:09Keep good thoughts.
00:00:11The baby.
00:00:12We'll see you in a few weeks, mother.
00:00:14All 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!
00:00:33Step 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 plumb 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.
00:01:27About five months ago.
00:01:32Open your mouth, please.
00:01:39Your gums 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.
00:01:49It's common with new mothers.
00:01:51When the baby was inside of you, he took most of your iron.
00:01:54So it's nothing serious then.
00:01:56Very serious.
00:01:57What took you so long to come to me?
00:01:59Well, you see, my husband doesn't think I'm really sick.
00:02:02He says I'm just lazy.
00:02:04You take care of six children and a husband while you work harder than he does.
00:02:07Lloyd's a good man, Doc Owens. Really, he is.
00:02:10He just don't trust doctors.
00:02:12Not since his sister died.
00:02:15Is there a tonic I can take for this anemia?
00:02:17There is a tonic, but eating vegetables would be much more effective.
00:02:20Lloyd doesn't really like all those vegetables.
00:02:23He prefers his meat and potatoes.
00:02:33Take 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.
00:02:54Hello, Lee.
00:02:56Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:58Leaving that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:00I'm just trying to wear him down for the ride home.
00:03:03You're here early, you're here late.
00:03:06Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going.
00:03:08Aren't you expecting company?
00:03:10My wife's best friend from medical school.
00:03:12She 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.
00:03:20Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:22Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:27All finished?
00:03:29That'll be two dollars for the doctor and fifty cents for the medicine.
00:03:44I'm sorry, my husband doesn't allow me any extra money.
00:03:47I have to use the sock money I've saved up.
00:03:50Why don't we just call it a dollar even?
00:03:54That's very kind of you.
00:03:55Don't mention it, Mrs. McQuaid.
00:04:08All right, pal.
00:04:11Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:15I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:22Here he comes.
00:04:24Easy.
00:04:30Settle down now.
00:04:32Easy now.
00:04:36I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:40Come on.
00:04:45Come on.
00:04:55Aunt Annie's here.
00:04:59Aunt Annie.
00:05:01Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:05She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:07Sure, she looks very round.
00:05:10I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:12Oh, let me get that.
00:05:13Oh, it's fine.
00:05:15Everyone treats me like a china doll.
00:05:17I'm not going to break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:21Me too.
00:05:24I can't tell you how much I appreciate you looking after Annie while I'm away.
00:05:28I didn't want to take a surveying job this close to her having a baby,
00:05:31but we need the money.
00:05:33I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:35Put your mind at ease, Pete.
00:05:37We're happy to have her.
00:05:38My mother would have stayed with Annie.
00:05:40I never 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 could handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you again, Annie.
00:05:52The town loves Ma.
00:05:53They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:54Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:59Well, how about I start cleaning and leave?
00:06:01You'll help me get settled in for the night?
00:06:11Hi, Sal.
00:06:14It's good having Annie here.
00:06:16It is.
00:06:18She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:20I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:23Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:26I'm right here.
00:06:27Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:30I'm just tired.
00:06:32You sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:34What's wrong?
00:06:35I'm not pregnant.
00:06:37Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:39We've tried for so long.
00:06:41We have more than we can handle with Lill.
00:06:43Oh, I know, but...
00:06:47It's just that when Annie found out the news,
00:06:49it made me want a baby of our own even more.
00:06:55And now that she's staying with us,
00:06:58I don't know what to do.
00:07:02Now that she's staying with us...
00:07:04No.
00:07:08We are going to have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:12All good things come in God's time, and...
00:07:16maybe we should just let Him decide.
00:07:18What if He doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:22Hey.
00:07:24Come on.
00:07:26Let's go help Lill finish the dishes, hmm?
00:07:40I guess I'd best be leaving now.
00:07:43I'll see you later.
00:07:45See you later.
00:07:51Peter, please be careful.
00:07:53Yes. My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:57I love you.
00:07:58I love you, too.
00:08:03Bye, ladies. Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:06We will, Peter.
00:08:08Step up!
00:08:17Boy, are you all right?
00:08:22Pass!
00:08:23Oh, no!
00:08:25No!
00:08:27Oh, jeez!
00:08:30Oh!
00:08:31Whoa, whoa! Easy!
00:08:36Well, big time, isn't it?
00:08:38Here are the bags.
00:08:39Got it.
00:08:40Check on the team, Ike.
00:08:43Welcome home, darling.
00:08:44Oh, thank you. Beautiful.
00:08:46That was the truth.
00:08:49Come on.
00:08:57You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:59Yes, sir.
00:09:00Lee Owens.
00:09:01Welcome to Saxon.
00:09:03How was your trip?
00:09:04Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:09:06Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:09:08Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:10Yes, sir.
00:09:11Well, Saxon's a nice little town.
00:09:13I hope you like it.
00:09:14I expect so.
00:09:15Can I help you with your things?
00:09:18All right.
00:09:19Come on, let me show you the shop.
00:09:21Sounds good.
00:09:23So we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:26Livery work and rolling stock.
00:09:28Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:31Now, when your blows are even
00:09:33and you can work a straight piece of metal,
00:09:35those will be your tools.
00:09:37It's hard work.
00:09:38But you managed to make something
00:09:40in the last generation or two.
00:09:42You know, it gives you a sense of pride.
00:09:44I reckon that's true.
00:09:46What do you say?
00:09:48You ready to get started?
00:09:49Yes, sir.
00:09:50All right, then.
00:09:59How was your walk?
00:10:01Carrying around a 30-pound sack of flour?
00:10:04Slow day?
00:10:05Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time
00:10:07before someone comes in from getting caught
00:10:09on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder.
00:10:12You know, when I was traveling through Salina last month,
00:10:14there was a rash of copperhead snakebites.
00:10:17It felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:20I haven't had anything as exciting
00:10:22as a snakebite in months.
00:10:24You should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve.
00:10:27It's our job as doctors to care
00:10:29about even the most minor illness or affliction.
00:10:32And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:36That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:39Linda, are you sure there isn't anything
00:10:41you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:43Anything, you know that.
00:10:46Oh!
00:10:48What is it?
00:10:50It's a quick, sharp pain and shortness of breath
00:10:53and minor faintness.
00:10:55Let's get you to an examination room.
00:10:57It's not necessary.
00:10:58Is the baby moving?
00:11:00It isn't that.
00:11:02It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:04Let me finish some things up and we'll get you home.
00:11:13My pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:16You always walk?
00:11:18Weekly, I've been riding.
00:11:20You walking to my camp?
00:11:22No.
00:11:23I got a horse to give to Will, Ant.
00:11:26He's still a little green, testy.
00:11:29I've been breaking him, getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:33Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:36I know nothing of saddle horses.
00:11:38Only harness broke.
00:11:39I stick with wagons.
00:11:41Better for it.
00:11:43I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:47What happened today?
00:11:48Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:51And that's coming from the doctor, Amy.
00:11:53When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:55My mother-in-law. She's a midwife.
00:11:57Well, I wish I was the one delivering your baby.
00:11:59It's a doctor's job, after all.
00:12:02I'm sure it's going to be fine.
00:12:06Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:12That's fine.
00:12:15And you must be Joshua. Welcome to our home.
00:12:17Very nice to meet you, Ms. Owens.
00:12:19That'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.
00:12:29Funny, I 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?
00:12:37Go easy on him, Lil. He just got here.
00:12:39I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:43Apparently not.
00:12:48That's our daughter, Lillian. 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.
00:13:01She certainly is your daughter.
00:13:03Indeed.
00:13:10Miss Owens?
00:13:12Mr. Coyle.
00:13:14I just want you to know...
00:13:17I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:20I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:23Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:27I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:29Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:31They already have female lawyers.
00:13:33They can get married.
00:13:35They can have children.
00:13:37Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:39They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:41A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:43I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:46I swear.
00:13:48It's just, well...
00:13:50I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:52I'm apologizing.
00:13:54I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:56Apology accepted.
00:14:02I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:04This isn't for school.
00:14:06I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa would let me.
00:14:09Well, all right.
00:14:11I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:16Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:32Nice young man.
00:14:34I hadn't noticed.
00:14:38Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:40Good night, Pa.
00:14:55Come in.
00:14:59How are you?
00:15:01I feel fine.
00:15:04Good.
00:15:14You all right?
00:15:16I can't get up.
00:15:18Can I help you?
00:15:20Can we just sit down?
00:15:22Just...
00:15:24I think this suit is a little too big.
00:15:30It's fine.
00:15:32It's loose, but...
00:15:34This is...
00:15:36It's fine.
00:15:48But it was...
00:15:53It's loose again.
00:15:55It's fine.
00:16:01It's loose again.
00:16:25It's fine.
00:16:27It's fine.
00:16:54It's all right.
00:16:56It's all right.
00:16:58It's all right.
00:17:05It's fine.
00:17:07It's all right.
00:17:09It's all right.
00:17:11Did she have a seizure?
00:17:18No, but she has all the other symptoms.
00:17:28Well, I'll telegraph Peter first thing in the morning.
00:17:31Tell him what's happened.
00:17:33And let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:17:37Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:38Well, I made it all.
00:17:39Why, her mother.
00:17:40You said she lives in Spartan.
00:17:47Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:49Total rest for you, Mrs. Watson, in a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:54To being lazy, you mean.
00:17:55I cannot just lay around all day.
00:17:57I'm a doctor, remember?
00:17:59But I am your doctor and this is my home, and if it isn't clampsia, 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.
00:18:11I love you.
00:18:13I love you too.
00:18:21Prepare for my peach.
00:18:25Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with Aunt Annie?
00:18:28No, you just run along to school.
00:18:30I'll post a note on the clinic and if someone really needs me, they know where to find me.
00:18:34Morning, ladies.
00:18:35Morning.
00:18:37Bye, Mom.
00:18:38Have a good day, darling.
00:18:39Bye, Mom.
00:18:40Bye.
00:18:41That 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, look like he could use a few more good meals.
00:18:57You have any idea how much I love you?
00:18:59Well, it never hurts to hear it.
00:19:05I love you too, Lee Owens.
00:19:07Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:19:09All right.
00:19:11Have a good day, sweet darling.
00:19:24Belinda feels Annie's health as well as the baby's is better served staying here until after the delivery.
00:19:30I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:32Lee Owens.
00:19:44Jacko.
00:19:45Mr. McQueen.
00:19:46Sorry, we're closed today, but if you'd like to make an appointment.
00:19:49Were you the one that gave Mabel this tonic?
00:19:51Yes, it's iron for her anemia.
00:19:53Why you got to go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:55What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:58Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:20:00Give her that medicine.
00:20:01I 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.
00:20:15Maybe if you weren't so hard-headed, you would realize that.
00:20:18Now, my advice is...
00:20:19I don't need your mouth nor your advice, and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:22Doctors aren't worth a whoosh and a 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.
00:20:42Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times and lose sight of the compassion we should have for others?
00:20:48There 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 it. Steady blows.
00:21:10All right.
00:21:16Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:18Must run in the family.
00:21:22I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence, but she was adopted.
00:21:27Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:28Really?
00:21:30I never would have known.
00:21:31I mean, she and Mrs... I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:36It's a fact.
00:21:37Yeah, I mean, it's just... Lillian's very pretty.
00:21:41Yeah, I know she's pretty.
00:21:52I'm truthfully not that hungry.
00:21:54Doctor's orders.
00:21:56Even if you don't feel up to it, you need to finish the entire bowl.
00:21:59I'm not a child, Belinda.
00:22:01And I'm a doctor. I think I know what's best for me.
00:22:03Knowing and doing are two entirely different things.
00:22:08Is that another contraction?
00:22:10No, the baby's just kicking.
00:22:12And I have to tell you, I'm a little relieved.
00:22:14I haven't felt a move since the contractions yesterday.
00:22:17You just said it was... he?
00:22:20How do you know it's a boy?
00:22:22I know it sounds silly, but Mary thinks because I'm carrying so low that it'll be a boy.
00:22:27It is silly. That's an old wives' tale.
00:22:29There's no medical merit to it.
00:22:31Say what you want, but when Peter's sister was pregnant,
00:22:33Mary was concerned because she was carrying so far out in front.
00:22:36She said it would be a breech birth, and she was right.
00:22:39One lucky guess, and she's got you believing made-up stories.
00:22:42Goodness, he's getting his exercise today.
00:22:44Do you want to feel?
00:22:46That's all right.
00:22:48Come on, Belinda. Don't be nervous.
00:22:54It's so strange.
00:22:56I never thought I'd be a mother.
00:22:58Now it suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world.
00:23:04I'm sorry.
00:23:06I don't know what to do.
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?
00:23:39You'd best get supper ready.
00:23:41Lee and Lillian will be home soon.
00:23:43I'm here to talk whenever you'd like to.
00:23:47Please eat your soup, Annie.
00:24:02I was wondering where you'd run off to.
00:24:05I was wondering where you'd run off to.
00:24:13I just looked in on Annie. She's out for the night.
00:24:16She keeps insisting she feels fine.
00:24:22I think I've heard that before.
00:24:25You two are so much alike, it's frightening.
00:24:28I suppose that's why we're such good friends.
00:24:32I noticed you didn't have Joshua over for supper tonight.
00:24:35I'm pretty sure he's sweet on Lil.
00:24:38I don't want the two of them spending too much time together.
00:24:41Why not? He's only a couple years older.
00:24:43Doc, he's an apprentice blacksmith. I want better for Lillian.
00:24:47I'm the wife of a blacksmith, and you don't hear me complaining.
00:24:50I spent the last five years trying to figure out how I tricked you into marrying me.
00:24:54You could have done much better.
00:24:56You didn't trick me into anything.
00:24:58I married you because I fell in love with you, Leo.
00:25:01And if Lillian and Joshua had taken interest in one another,
00:25:05I don't think it's our place to stand in their way.
00:25:07Besides, telling Lillian she can't have 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.
00:25:26And if Lil wants to go to college, I darn sure want to see it happen.
00:25:30I don't want her tied down to sex.
00:25:34I hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has.
00:25:40It's getting a little chilly.
00:25:42Want to turn in for the night?
00:25:44You go ahead. I'll be up in a little while.
00:25:56Don't be in such a hurry, pretty lady.
00:26:00Please allow me to pass.
00:26:02We need to get to know each other.
00:26:06I think not. I don't want to be late for school.
00:26:09I can teach you more than any school can.
00:26:11Excuse me.
00:26:14Am I letting the young lady pass?
00:26:16Say no more.
00:26:18I'm sorry.
00:26:20Excuse me.
00:26:23Am I letting the young lady pass?
00:26:25This ain't none of your affair, sodbuster.
00:26:27Ah, but it is.
00:26:28It ain't.
00:26:34Knock your head off, boy.
00:26:36Now, you hold on a second.
00:26:38Now, the good book tells me to turn the other cheek.
00:26:40Now, I only have two.
00:26:42So after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:50That 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. Please don't break it.
00:26:57I trust I'll never see you around Miss Owens again.
00:26:59No, never.
00:27:00Good.
00:27:01Now, get.
00:27:13Morning, Miss Owens.
00:27:14You on your way to school?
00:27:16Indeed I am.
00:27:18May I walk with you?
00:27:27I did the best I could, Jim, but you better go easy on it, all right?
00:27:43Your boss strikes me as a hard-working man.
00:27:45He lives and breathes work.
00:27:47Ma says sometimes he rolls over in his sleep and tries to use her arms like a set of tongs.
00:27:51I guess that's the future I have to look forward to.
00:27:54Not such a bad life, really.
00:27:59So what about you?
00:28:01Are you going to become a doctor like your ma?
00:28:03I don't know. I 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.
00:28:18You too, Lily.
00:28:30I don't think you should be climbing the stairs, but I feel fine.
00:28:34What'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.
00:28:43That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:49Is that singing?
00:28:51I would know that voice anywhere.
00:28:53That's Mary, your mother-in-law.
00:28:55What reason does she have to be here?
00:28:57Mary doesn't need a reason to do anything.
00:29:00I don't want to have a belly.
00:29:04Free belly.
00:29:11Well, this must be it.
00:29:16Thank you, my good man, and you have a blessed day.
00:29:22And you must be the infamous Doc Owens.
00:29:27Mary Watson, you knew that already.
00:29:31Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:34Would you be a dear and bring my thing along?
00:29:43Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:45Where else would you expect me to be, oh, my little lamb?
00:29:48But didn't you get the telegraph from Belinda's husband?
00:29:51I did, that's why I'm here.
00:29:53I'd do nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend,
00:29:56but I certainly wasn't going to miss the birth of my first grandson.
00:30:01I've missed you.
00:30:03Oh, it's darker than the inside of a cow in here.
00:30:05Yes, it is.
00:30:06Oh, please don't do that.
00:30:08She's not a mushroom. She needs light.
00:30:11All right, Doc, let's sit up so I can get a good look at her.
00:30:15I'm sorry, what are you doing?
00:30:16I'm getting her upright.
00:30:18If she stays in this bed too long,
00:30:20she'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.
00:30:51There I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw.
00:30:57I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night.
00:31:02I expected twins, not triplets.
00:31:06In a blizzard?
00:31:08The little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:31:12Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:15Women giving birth are always an emergency.
00:31:19That's the penalty we pay for eating the apple.
00:31:23It is not a penalty.
00:31:25Wow, Mrs. Watson, you sure got an exciting life.
00:31:28Well, I should probably get you up to your room, Annie.
00:31:31You let that little fella start running your life now,
00:31:34you'll be lacing his shoes when he's 30.
00:31:37Yes, Annie told me you believe it's a boy.
00:31:39Believe nothing. It's a fact.
00:31:42Honestly, Mary, you can't possibly...
00:31:44Actually, I am a little tired. I'm going to go to bed.
00:31:48I can manage on my own.
00:31:50Good night, all.
00:31:52Good night, Annie.
00:31:53Rest well, dear.
00:31:54Good night, Annie.
00:31:55Good night, Annie.
00:32:00There is no way to tell whether...
00:32:02I think it's time we all settled down.
00:32:04We have a full day tomorrow.
00:32:12Thank you for dinner, Dr. Holmes.
00:32:15Joshua, Lillian told us that you came to her rescue.
00:32:19Her mother and I both appreciate it.
00:32:21It was my pleasure, sir. Thank you again.
00:32:26I'll walk you out.
00:32:38Aren't they the most adorable couple?
00:32:41So tell me, how was Captain Nemo this evening?
00:32:45When I left him, he was exploring the ruins of Atlantis,
00:32:48although I can't say for sure what he does when I'm not looking.
00:32:51I never met a girl who made a book sound so interesting.
00:32:54You can borrow it if you like.
00:32:56No, I'm not sure if I'm sold on Nemo just yet.
00:32:59Maybe you could read some of it to me, though,
00:33:01just so I can find out if it's my kind of story.
00:33:04I could do that.
00:33:06Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:33:08Maybe on Saturday we can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:33:12I think I know just the place.
00:33:15Lee Owens, you are not spying on our only daughter.
00:33:18I'm not spying on her. I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:27Good night.
00:33:38Quite a hot delivery.
00:33:52Let's see what you got there.
00:33:54Well, you're really improving.
00:33:58Thank you, sir. I'm trying my best to impress you.
00:34:02As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:34:06Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you,
00:34:10maybe Lillian and I...
00:34:13You want permission to court Lillian, right?
00:34:17Yes, sir.
00:34:19Well, I don't want to distract you from her goals.
00:34:22I promise I'll be respectful of her and not get in the way of her schooling.
00:34:25I know how much she wants to go to college.
00:34:27Well, I'll think about it, all right?
00:34:32I understand.
00:34:35In the meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:39Lillian wants his order by noon.
00:34:41Yes, sir.
00:34:43You're going to be late opening your clinic.
00:34:45I don't feel comfortable leaving Annie here all alone,
00:34:48and I certainly don't feel comfortable with her being out of bed this much.
00:34:51You know, I wish the two of you wouldn't talk about me as if I wasn't sitting right here.
00:34:56Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:58You must be so frustrated, cooped up inside all the time.
00:35:03I will be here with her all day.
00:35:06You tend to your patients, and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:13If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:17Have a nice day.
00:35:22Praise the Lord, we're free!
00:35:26Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:29We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:34Tripping to town!
00:35:44Doc Owens, can I talk to you?
00:35:46Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:51I only have a minute.
00:35:52I left Lloyd at the general store, said I was running to the butcher.
00:35:55What can I do for you, Mabel?
00:35:57Doc, 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.
00:36:03That's because your anemia is getting worse.
00:36:05Your body needs iron.
00:36:06You're only going to get sicker.
00:36:08What can I do to make it better?
00:36:09I already told you.
00:36:10Vegetables or the tonic.
00:36:12If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:15I tried to take the tonic, really, I did.
00:36:17Even started to feel a little stronger.
00:36:19And then Lloyd found it, and you know the rest.
00:36:23I certainly do.
00:36:24He threw a bottle at me.
00:36:25I'm sorry for that.
00:36:26Really, I am.
00:36:27He was just upset.
00:36:28I didn't mean anything by it.
00:36:30He's a wonderful husband and a father.
00:36:32Maybe.
00:36:33But I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
00:36:40Good day, Mrs. McQuade.
00:36:59Your friend Belinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:37:02I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me, but everybody likes me.
00:37:07She isn't happy.
00:37:10She's been trying to have a baby.
00:37:12And Belinda just feels discouraged.
00:37:14Me showing up in my condition and staying till the baby comes.
00:37:18I think it's just another painful reminder.
00:37:21Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:37:24If it's a baby coming, it's a baby coming.
00:37:27If it's baby trouble she's got, I've surely got the cure.
00:37:32How about a sugary treat?
00:37:38I'm sorry, Lloyd, it 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 10 miles of here.
00:37:51It'll be here within a week.
00:37:53I'm here, Lloyd.
00:37:57What took you so long?
00:37:59I'm sorry, Lloyd, there was a little bit of a line.
00:38:01There's always an excuse.
00:38:03Let's get out of here. I've got fences to mend before sundown.
00:38:16She's just feeling poorly at legs.
00:38:19She's got a newborn and five youngins.
00:38:21Says it wears her out.
00:38:23You think a mother doesn't work.
00:38:27I've seen this a bunch.
00:38:29During and after pregnancy.
00:38:31This is a severe case of anemia.
00:38:33She don't need coddling, lady.
00:38:35I know how to take care of my wife.
00:38:37No, you don't.
00:38:39You are selfish.
00:38:41And rude.
00:38:43And contemptuous.
00:38:44And you can't see the forest for the trees.
00:38:46Doc Owens is trying to save your wife's life.
00:38:50She's dying.
00:38:53You get her over to the clinic.
00:38:55And you beg Doc Owens for more of that tonic.
00:38:58Don't talk to me like that.
00:39:00I'll talk to you any way I want.
00:39:02Get her to the clinic.
00:39:08You better pray to the merciful and good Lord...
00:39:12...that she doesn't slam the door in your ungrateful face.
00:39:17Amen.
00:39:19Amen.
00:39:26They're home-fed now.
00:39:32Gave you a double dose, so do not take any more today.
00:39:35No, ma'am. Starting tomorrow morning, take two teaspoons every morning.
00:39:38And if you don't get your strength back in four days, get back in here.
00:39:46I'd like to apologize.
00:39:49The last time we spoke, I lost my temper.
00:39:52What do I owe you for the tonic?
00:39:54Only that you allowed her to keep taking it.
00:39:56You don't need no charity.
00:39:58The first one was already paid for. This is just a replacement.
00:40:02Step up!
00:40:20Yes, dear?
00:40:21I'm sorry. Are you sleeping?
00:40:23Not anymore.
00:40:26My apprentice wants to court Lillian.
00:40:30His name is Joshua.
00:40:33I told him I'd think about it.
00:40:36Then think.
00:40:39But don't think too long. Lillian's grown up.
00:40:42I'm having a hard time with it.
00:40:44You're having a hard time letting her grow up.
00:40:47I was trying to protect her.
00:40:49I 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 it?
00:40:57Good night, sweetheart.
00:41:03All right.
00:41:05Tomorrow I'll give Joshua my permission to court Lill.
00:41:22Don't think I don't know about your little excursion with Annie.
00:41:25This town is filled with gossips.
00:41:27Can't keep a secret for more than five minutes.
00:41:29It's a pretty little town, Sykeston.
00:41:31I can see why you like it here.
00:41:34May I ask why you feel the need to go against every instruction I have for Annie?
00:41:38I don't deliberately go against your word.
00:41:42We just disagree about how to treat her.
00:41:45This isn't a competition, Mary.
00:41:47If 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.
00:41:58Have been for 30 years.
00:42:00It's just there's been so many new advancements.
00:42:02Sometimes the old ways are best.
00:42:05Annie may have a serious condition which could be fatal to both her and the baby.
00:42:09Are you sure?
00:42:10Of course I'm not sure, but I'm not taking any chances.
00:42:13So it's true what they say, that doctors only practice medicine.
00:42:20This conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere.
00:42:25So Annie tells me you're barren.
00:42:27Or having trouble anyway.
00:42:30I don't think that's any of your concern.
00:42:32I see this problem a lot.
00:42:34If you want, I could give you some remedies that are guaranteed to work.
00:42:37I know how it's done, Mary.
00:42:39I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
00:42:42So what do you think is the problem?
00:42:44You're too high strung.
00:42:46Folks worry too much about work, family, or whether or not they can have a baby.
00:42:52Then years go by and nothing happens.
00:42:55Then one day, they decide to stop trying.
00:42:58And before you know it, they find they're with child.
00:43:02So your sage advice for me is to relax.
00:43:06Read a book before you go to bed.
00:43:09Take some deep breaths.
00:43:12And before you know it, I'll be back to deliver your little one.
00:43:15I'll make sure I try that.
00:43:36Every baby boy needs his own blanket.
00:43:39Don't you agree?
00:43:40Yes, I do.
00:43:46I'm going to 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.
00:43:56I ain't got a lot of work to do.
00:43:58We just thought you'd have more time off once you hired an apprentice.
00:44:00And I do. Now I'm only two weeks behind instead of six.
00:44:06Lillian, you look lovely. Where are you headed off to?
00:44:09Joshua and I are having a picnic.
00:44:11You enjoy yourself and please tell Joshua that we said hello.
00:44:15I will.
00:44:16You'll be back in time for supper now. No exceptions.
00:44:18I will. I promise.
00:44:21Bye, everyone.
00:44:22Bye, dear.
00:44:37I love it.
00:44:38I love it.
00:44:39The sea is everything. It 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, for he feels life stirring on all sides.
00:44:49The sea is the only embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence.
00:44:53It is nothing but love and emotion.
00:44:55It's 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 of 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.
00:45:14I can't let them go or they might tell the world who he is.
00:45:1720,000 leagues is an allegory. It's about personal freedom.
00:45:20Nemo means nobody in Latin. He's invisible to the world and wants to keep it that way.
00:45:25You're brilliant. You know that?
00:45:27I am not.
00:45:29Lee, you working today?
00:45:33You work harder than any man I know.
00:45:36Well, I can't let the customers down. Besides, it gives me thinking time.
00:45:40Anything that you'd like to share with your pastor?
00:45:44Just a lot of rumbling around in my head like a marble.
00:45:47Sometimes it helps to speak it out loud.
00:45:49Talking to yourself is like talking to yourself.
00:45:52It's like talking to yourself.
00:45:54Sometimes it helps to speak it out loud.
00:45:57Talking to yourself only gets the answer you're looking for.
00:46:00I just can't figure Lillian out.
00:46:04I'm trying to be a good father to her.
00:46:06Our children grow up, start spreading their wings.
00:46:10A father has to be aware of that and try to grow with his child.
00:46:15Yeah, Belinda tolerates more than I do.
00:46:18She's a mother.
00:46:19The good Lord gave them the patience of Job when it comes to raising their children.
00:46:23He sure changed fathers in that area.
00:46:26Yeah. Yeah.
00:46:34I 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.
00:46:45So, have things improved for Lee?
00:46:47He says he isn't bothered, but I still sense that he's disappointed we can't have a baby.
00:46:52Maybe 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.
00:47:08Maybe.
00:47:09Have you spoken to her about it?
00:47:11In a roundabout way.
00:47:13Of course, she says I'm wrong.
00:47:15Still, 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.
00:47:24You know, we're trying to have a baby.
00:47:29So far, no luck.
00:47:31You have to have faith.
00:47:33Sometimes it's hard, Reverend.
00:47:36Talk to her about your feelings.
00:47:40I'd best be getting home.
00:47:42Mrs. Davies will give me an earful if I'm late for supper.
00:47:45Myself included.
00:47:51Well, I see.
00:47:54You didn't need my help putting supper on the table.
00:47:57You're taking a nap, ma'am.
00:47:59We just wanted you to be able to rest.
00:48:01I'll rest enough when I'm dead.
00:48:03Give me that knife before 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 for me than to spend my entire life plowing fields.
00:48:22So, he said if I got good enough, maybe I could 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.
00:48:36I have three sisters and two brothers and I had a moment of peace.
00:48:39Back at the boarding house, I got nothing but quiet.
00:48:41I know what you mean.
00:48:43I mostly grew up in an orphanage until Ma and Pa adopted me when I was ten.
00:48:47I'd spent so long in a room with other kids, I couldn't wait to have a room of my own.
00:48:52Now I miss having someone to talk to.
00:48:55You have me.
00:48:57I do, don't I?
00:49:00So, tell me something.
00:49:03How'd you ever find a place like this, anyway?
00:49:06I stumbled across it by accident while riding one day.
00:49:09It's so far off the main roads, no one really comes out here.
00:49:13I brought some of my old stuff and now it's where I come to be alone.
00:49:17I can see why.
00:49:19Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape.
00:49:22This reminds me of it.
00:49:25Well, the timber still seems...
00:49:27I wouldn't do that.
00:49:32Not as sound as you might think.
00:49:34You're probably right.
00:49:37I think it's best we pack up.
00:49:43I'm happy to see you and Mary are getting along.
00:49:46You know, her fertility advice to me was to relax and read a book before bed.
00:49:52Did you try it?
00:49:54Of course not.
00:49:55She's been doing this longer than we've been alive.
00:49:58I can't believe you, Annie Watson.
00:50:00You've spent three years in medical school, five years practicing medicine, and you're going to believe that woman's folk magic?
00:50:06It's rubbish, plain and simple.
00:50:08We ask people to believe in things they don't understand, and they do.
00:50:11Because they have trust and faith in us.
00:50:14Just like they have faith in the Lord.
00:50:16Okay, it is not the same thing, and we're talking about Mary here.
00:50:18Why do you have such a hard time believing in Mary's ways?
00:50:21Okay, Mary is a lovely woman.
00:50:24But you have to admit, she's a little touch in the head.
00:50:27She doesn't like me any more than I like her.
00:50:29Really?
00:50:31The other day at the general store, Mary defended you to the ends of the earth.
00:50:35What are you talking about?
00:50:36The man with the anemic wife?
00:50:38The one that you said was such a success story?
00:50:40Mary is the reason that he brought her back to you.
00:50:43That's why Lloyd McQueen brought his wife back to me?
00:50:46Mary unloaded on him like a tornado.
00:50:48Spoke up for you, and just plain made him cower.
00:50:54Come on.
00:50:55Let's go.
00:51:04Do you have any idea what time it is?
00:51:05Hi, Pa.
00:51:06You're 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.
00:51:12Well, it's well past supper. That's more than a little while.
00:51:14Why are you so angry?
00:51:16I thought I could trust your judgment, but apparently I was wrong.
00:51:19What's that supposed to mean?
00:51:20It means you can't spend any more time with Joshua Coyle 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?
00:51:28As long as it takes me to trust you again.
00:51:29That's completely unfair.
00:51:31Joshua is only two years older than I am, and no one tells him what to do.
00:51:34No one said the world was fair, young lady.
00:51:37Lil.
00:51:41I was worried about you.
00:52:05Hello, Joshua.
00:52:07Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:52:11Mr. Owens told me how much trouble I caused the other night.
00:52:14I just wanted to come by and say how sorry I am for keeping Lillian out so late.
00:52:18You needn't place the blame all on yourself.
00:52:20She's old enough to know better.
00:52:22I'm still sorry.
00:52:23Ma, I can't find the...
00:52:26bandages.
00:52:30Pa said I can't see you for a while.
00:52:32Pa said you couldn't go out with Joshua.
00:52:35He said nothing about the two of you seeing each other.
00:52:38Thanks, ma.
00:52:42Well, I have work to do.
00:52:44It was nice to see you, Joshua.
00:52:46There's always room open at the dinner table for you.
00:52:50Thank you, ma'am.
00:52:56I'm sorry to get you into trouble.
00:52:58You didn't do anything wrong, and neither did I.
00:53:00I'm a grown woman, and I don't need my pa deciding how late I can and can't stay out.
00:53:04He's just worried about you is all.
00:53:06Well, he doesn't need to be.
00:53:07There's no need to be cross, Lillian.
00:53:09I mean, I'll still be here when you get off punishment.
00:53:11I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:14I wanted to return this. I finished it.
00:53:17Already? I just gave it to you.
00:53:19Once I got started, it was hard to quit.
00:53:22I mean, the sun was already up when I finally closed the book.
00:53:25So you stayed up all night just to read about Captain Nemo?
00:53:27Well, I don't think I would have gotten much sleep with or without him.
00:53:33I'll be thinking about you.
00:53:35Me too.
00:53:36Mary?
00:53:57Mary?
00:53:58In here, dear.
00:54:06Should you be up?
00:54:07Where are you going?
00:54:09I've decided to head on home.
00:54:12I can see you're in good hands.
00:54:14You're leaving?
00:54:16Before the baby comes?
00:54:18Oh, you'll do fine.
00:54:21Besides, the last thing you need is an old granny midwife gumming up the works.
00:54:28This doesn't have anything to do with the disagreement between you and Belinda, does it?
00:54:32Oh, no, no, no.
00:54:35The truth is, I'm feeling homesick.
00:54:39I've been sleeping in my own bed.
00:54:42And my patients back home don't have a smart lady doctor to take care of them.
00:54:48If you've made your decision, I can't stop you.
00:54:51I would really love for you to stay, though.
00:54:54I want my family here when the baby comes.
00:54:56Belinda 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.
00:55:11I'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 come running, which you're very good at.
00:55:18I will, Ma, and thank you.
00:55:20For what?
00:55:21For understanding about me and Joshua.
00:55:23Believe it or not, I was your age once.
00:55:33You got one?
00:55:34Yeah.
00:55:37I'm not going to keep her from 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.
00:55:48All right, I like your attitude.
00:55:58You're leaving.
00:56:00Time for me to go home.
00:56:02Sorry 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.
00:56:11And I've been all over this whole territory through my entire pregnancy.
00:56:14I think I can handle a short walk into town.
00:56:16Doc Owens!
00:56:21Danny.
00:56:23Lillian told me you was here.
00:56:25Ma's in labor.
00:56:26There's a horse and buggy in the barn. Help me hook it up.
00:56:28Yes, ma'am.
00:56:31I trust you won't walk into town on the way.
00:56:35All right, peach pie.
00:56:37Get back in the house and stay put.
00:56:40Belinda and I have a baby to deliver.
00:56:42Mrs. Travis is my patient.
00:56:44If you find you don't need me, you have my permission to just shove me out of the way.
00:56:50But if you do, I'm there.
00:56:55Fine, but only because I don't have time to argue with you.
00:57:00Come on.
00:57:08Hey, young man.
00:57:14It's never taken this long.
00:57:16The first few hours seemed normal, but then it just stopped.
00:57:18What stopped? The contractions?
00:57:20No, Doc, the baby. It's like it's stuck, but I can't see the head.
00:57:23I'll see to it.
00:57:24Your mama's gonna be fine.
00:57:27It's a fetal dystocia.
00:57:29A what?
00:57:30The baby's shoulder is stuck.
00:57:32What are you thinking to do with that?
00:57:34We have to get the baby out before it suffocates.
00:57:36We start pulling. We could make things worse.
00:57:39What should we do?
00:57:41Well, if you can't get the baby out from inside, you try it from the outside.
00:57:47All 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.
00:57:56Try to stay down for me.
00:57:58There.
00:57:59Now, we're gonna see who's stuck and who's not.
00:58:14There.
00:58:23How about me?
00:58:30It's gonna be all right.
00:58:36Pa?
00:58:39Pa?
00:58:43Hello, Joshua.
00:58:45Where's my pa?
00:58:47He's on delivery. I'm heading 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.
00:59:00But I can't escort you.
00:59:02Sorry.
00:59:04Come on.
00:59:19Joshua.
00:59:22Pa is being so unreasonable.
00:59:25We were late coming home, okay?
00:59:27Don't tell me you're on his side.
00:59:29What's the difference in an hour or so?
00:59:31We got home just fine.
00:59:32He just doesn't trust me.
00:59:33Your pa had no way of knowing whether you were all right
00:59:35when you didn't make it home on time.
00:59:37You sound just like pa.
00:59:38Ma is the only one who understands.
00:59:41Lily, wait a second.
00:59:54Get out! Get out!
00:59:56Get out!
00:59:58Get out!
01:00:03Gosh!
01:00:11It's a beautiful baby boy, and your wife is fine.
01:00:15Can I see them?
01:00:16Shortly.
01:00:20Well, looks like we got ourselves a baby brother.
01:00:29Isn'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 orders.
01:00:52Doesn't matter who does it, just as long as it gets done.
01:00:55I learned something today that they didn't teach me in medical school.
01:01:25Whoa!
01:01:46All right, whoa!
01:01:47Whoa!
01:01:56Whoa!
01:02:00Have you seen Lillian?
01:02:01No, why?
01:02:02Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:02:03She's been missing all afternoon.
01:02:05We got in an argument at the shop over Mr. Owens, 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 if she gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:19I think I know where she is.
01:02:26Ah!
01:02:39It's worse this time.
01:02:41I feel like I could faint.
01:02:42Okay, okay, let's get her inside.
01:02:45Looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:55Ah!
01:03:23How much further?
01:03:24Just up ahead.
01:03:33How are you feeling?
01:03:35I'm really not as lightheaded as before.
01:03:37I'd like to just go to bed.
01:03:39Let's get you upstairs to a darkened room.
01:03:42Doctor's orders.
01:03:45Ah!
01:03:51Ah!
01:03:53Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:04:19It wasn't like this before.
01:04:21No, sir.
01:04:22Looks like there is a cave-in.
01:04:24She might be hurt.
01:04:27This is one of her labs.
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!
01:04:49Lil!
01:04:51Give me a hand with this.
01:04:52One, two, three.
01:04:59You got it?
01:05:00Lil.
01:05:02Lil.
01:05:04Come on, talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:12Pa?
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:15I'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.
01:05:46How's Lillian?
01:05:47Lillian?
01:05:50A 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.
01:06:00Give her a couple of days.
01:06:01She'll be right as rain.
01:06:03At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:06:06Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:06:09Ah.
01:06:10This, too, shall pass.
01:06:13Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:17True miracles.
01:06:19Are you still fretting about the baby-making?
01:06:21I 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,
01:06:29the 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.
01:06:37It 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.
01:06:59Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning,
01:07:03and all is forgiven.
01:07:05That's a promise.
01:07:11Ugh.
01:07:16Late night tonight.
01:07:18Everyone's worn out.
01:07:20A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:28You know,
01:07:30I think I might read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:34Really? You 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.
01:07:42Mm.
01:07:48Doc.
01:07:51I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:54Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:58And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage who need a good home.
01:08:02You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of our own?
01:08:06I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:09Always have been. Always will be.
01:08:14Do you think my hair's shiny?
01:08:19Yeah.
01:08:20Yeah, like the sunrise.
01:08:26I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:29I love you, too.
01:08:31Goodnight.
01:08:33Alright, are you gonna read your book now?
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:37Alright.
01:08:40I'll just go to sleep.
01:08:48You sure I can't help you read it or...
01:08:50No.
01:08:51Alright.
01:08:53Goodnight.
01:09:01Shouldn't you be in bed?
01:09:03I ball and chain. Let me come downstairs.
01:09:06She has her mind set on going to the ice cream social.
01:09:10What if I find a shady, comfortable place to just sit and eat ice cream?
01:09:14You are not going to the social.
01:09:16I am a doctor. I 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. I'm gonna 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 gonna 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. Read your book and pout.
01:10:00Don't you look beautiful?
01:10:02Except for this.
01:10:04No one will even notice that.
01:10:06Even Joshua?
01:10:07Especially Joshua.
01:10:09Thanks for telling Joshua he 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.
01:10:24I'm sorry for not making curfew the other night.
01:10:27I know 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.
01:10:37Come here.
01:10:44Come on.
01:10:52And then he stepped like this.
01:10:54See?
01:10:56Good job, son.
01:10:59Come here, honey.
01:11:01Here you go.
01:11:03Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:11:05No, thank you.
01:11:06No, thank you, Joshua.
01:11:14Hey, partner, how's your ice cream?
01:11:17Dr. Owens, can we talk?
01:11:19Boyd, maybe you know my husband, Lee?
01:11:23Boyd, Mona, 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.
01:11:32You've had a lot more energy.
01:11:34Still need some extra sleep in the afternoons, but getting stronger every day.
01:11:37The best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed or received with a joyful spirit.
01:11:43It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:45Well, I, uh...
01:11:47I'm also the one who apologized for being stubborn.
01:11:51Thanks again, doctor.
01:11:53It was my pleasure.
01:11:55And 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.
01:12:03There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:07Have a good day.
01:12:14That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:17Would you like some ice cream?
01:12:19I'd love some.
01:12:38I got Lee's telegram. Where's Annie?
01:12:40The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:42Everyone's in town at a social. I need Belinda now!
01:12:45I want to see Annie.
01:12:47Get Belinda now!
01:12:53You look beautiful.
01:12:55Say that again?
01:12:57Handsome.
01:12:59I still can't believe it.
01:13:01Can't believe what?
01:13:03That I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:08That's very sweet of you to say, Joshua.
01:13:23Lillian's got a boyfriend. Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:27Lillian's got a boyfriend. Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:30Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:42Belinda! Don't go! I need you!
01:13:51Belinda! It's Annie. You gotta come quick.
01:13:54Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:14:08Mary. Thank God you're back.
01:14:11Annie's had a seizure. I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete.
01:14:16You're the best way down here.
01:14:19There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:29Dear Lord, please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:36Amen.
01:14:38Amen.
01:14:40Thank you, Lee. You're welcome.
01:14:42Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:56Peter.
01:14:58He's waiting downstairs.
01:15:01Right.
01:15:03Just a glimpse here.
01:15:05I'm afraid so.
01:15:08Please save my baby.
01:15:11You know what you have to do.
01:15:22I'm gonna close my eyes now.
01:15:26What did she mean?
01:15:28You know what has to be done.
01:15:30That baby has to come out if we're to save it.
01:15:33Even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:35That baby is ready.
01:15:37She was talking about a caesarean delivery.
01:15:40Which I could do at the clinic, but under very crude conditions.
01:15:44I know.
01:15:46I know.
01:15:48I know.
01:15:50I know.
01:15:52I could do at the clinic, but under very crude conditions.
01:15:55Have you ever done one?
01:15:57I did one once at a hospital in Boston.
01:15:59But I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:16:02And there wasn't a clamsy involved.
01:16:05Is there no other choice?
01:16:08Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:16:11Well then, we 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?
01:16:28A weed the good Lord made.
01:16:31His wonders to perceive.
01:16:33Does it work?
01:16:34Sure as the sunrise.
01:16:36A little of this, and we'll have our baby boy in no time.
01:16:46Is there anything else I can do?
01:16:48A glass of water.
01:17:22Her temperature is slightly raised.
01:17:25But her heartbeat and her 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?
01:17:47How about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:54I'm going to make some tea.
01:17:56Would you like a cup?
01:17:57No, thank you.
01:18:00Any news?
01:18:01Nothing yet.
01:18:03I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:16Any news?
01:18:17Nothing yet.
01:18:19I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:36You're doing fine, Annie. Just keep breathing.
01:18:47Contractions. Closer together.
01:18:49We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family.
01:18:54It's all right. It's all right.
01:18:56Good job. Keep breathing. Good. Good.
01:19:07Congratulations, Uncle Nito.
01:19:14She's so beautiful.
01:19:17I've delivered hundreds of babies,
01:19:19but I've never seen one this beautiful.
01:19:21I'm so proud of you.
01:19:23I'm so proud of you.
01:19:25I'm so proud of you.
01:19:27I'm so proud of you.
01:19:29I'm so proud of you.
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?
01:20:01Okay.
01:20:05Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:13Can I hold her?
01:20:16Come sit.
01:20:31Yeah.
01:20:49I brought you a present.
01:20:51A present?
01:20:53These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:56When I asked you for a few books,
01:20:58I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:21:00The way you went through 20,000 links,
01:21:02I figured you'd use a few more.
01:21:04Oh, you think so?
01:21:07I should probably get going.
01:21:09Okay. Will I see you later?
01:21:12Sure is this one fine day.
01:21:26Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter,
01:21:29I could use a little helping here.
01:21:31I'm coming.
01:21:35Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us
01:21:38and the love which envelops us.
01:21:40May we always strive to walk the way you like
01:21:44and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:47Amen.
01:21:50Hi.
01:21:58Hey, are you all right?
01:22:00I'm fine. Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:03I've gotten so used to you being at the house,
01:22:05it's going to be too quiet when we're gone.
01:22:07Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:10I think it's time we go home.
01:22:12I'm going to miss you so very much.
01:22:14And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:20What are you doing out 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 while we can.
01:22:42Thank you very much, Lee.
01:22:44It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:45And Belinda. I can never thank you enough.
01:22:48Well, I wish I could take all the credit,
01:22:50but 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! We're burning daylight!
01:23:03And it's about that time.
01:23:05Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:07Of course.
01:23:18Bye, you two.
01:23:20Bye.
01:23:36You know, all right, take her easy there.
01:23:42Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:47How do I thank you, Mary?
01:23:49Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:54I learned a lot from you.
01:23:56And I from you.
01:23:57I may bring them into the world,
01:23:59but you keep them alive and kicking once they're here.
01:24:03Now, if you ever need a good midwife,
01:24:06you know where to find me.
01:24:08Oh.
01:24:18There you are.
01:24:20Oh, young man, I'm gonna need a hand here.
01:24:22All right.
01:24:24There we go.
01:24:26Wait a minute. One, two, three.
01:24:28Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:33Well, Commodore, are we staying home with the tide?
01:24:36I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:38Yes, ma'am.
01:24:40Hyah! Get up!
01:24:42Get!
01:24:48Hyah!
01:24:58What were you and Mary whispering to each other?
01:25:01She was telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:08You mean...
01:25:12Are you sure?
01:25:14I'm a doctor.
01:25:16I'm a pregnant woman when I see one,
01:25:18especially when I am one.
01:25:22Hey.
01:25:24We're gonna have a baby.
01:25:26Baby?
01:25:28We're gonna have a baby.
01:25:32Lillian Owens, you are 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.
01:25:53Uh, now wait up.
01:25:55Now wait up.
01:25:58How far along are you?
01:26:01Now I'm serious.
01:26:03Well, we gotta start talking about names, really.
01:26:06I mean, I like Lee for a boy.
01:26:08Oh, you think it's gonna be a boy?
01:26:10Or, uh, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl.
01:26:12What do you think?
01:26:13Oh, that's very pretty.
01:26:15What do you think?
01:26:17All right, now hold on. I'm gonna get the door for you.
01:26:19Oh, wait. My goodness.
01:26:21Stop.
