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.
00:02:13Is there a tonic I can take for this anemia?
00:02:16There is a tonic, but eating vegetables would be much more effective.
00:02:19Lloyd doesn't really like all those vegetables.
00:02:22He prefers his meat and potatoes.
00:02:33I eat two spoonfuls twice a day.
00:02:35You can come and see me in a week.
00:02:38It's very important that my coming to see you is kept private.
00:02:41What goes on between a doctor and a patient is always very private.
00:02:56Hello, Lee.
00:02:58Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:59Leaving that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:01I'm just trying to wear him down for the ride home.
00:03:05You're here early, you're here late.
00:03:07Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going.
00:03:09Aren't you expecting company?
00:03:11My wife's best friend from medical school.
00:03:13Well, she should get here any day now.
00:03:14I was referring to that apprentice of yours.
00:03:16He should be here on Thursday's stage.
00:03:18I'll leave you to your work, Lee.
00:03:21Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:23Take your hand to the doctor.
00:03:26All 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.
00:03:50Why don't we just call it a dollar even?
00:03:54That's very kind of you.
00:03:55Don't mention it, Mrs. McQueen.
00:03:57Tell her all these are, we've got medicine.
00:04:01I grew absolutely.
00:04:02Very good to see you.
00:04:03Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:04:05Now you take care of yourself.
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:07All right, pal.
00:04:09Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:13There you go.
00:04:14I've got you, sir.
00:04:16I 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!
00:04:28Hey!
00:04:29Hey!
00:04:30Hey!
00:04:31Hey!
00:04:32Settle down now.
00:04:33Settle.
00:04:34Hey!
00:04:35Easy now!
00:04:37I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:41Come on.
00:04:44Aunt Annie's here.
00:04:59Aunt Annie!
00:05:00Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:04She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:06Sure, she looks very round.
00:05:09I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:11Oh, let me get that.
00:05:13Oh, it's fine.
00:05:15If everyone treats me like a China doll, I'm not gonna break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:20Me too.
00:05:23I can't tell you how much I appreciate you looking after Annie while I'm away.
00:05:27I didn't want to take a surveying job this close to her having a baby, but we need the money.
00:05:32I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:34But you're mine at ease, Pete. We'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.
00:05:42And 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.
00:05:56Well, how about I start cleaning and Lee, you'll help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:02All right, sir.
00:06:19It's good having Annie here.
00:06:20It is.
00:06:23She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:25I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:27Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:30I'm right here.
00:06:31Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:34I'm just tired.
00:06:36You sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:39What's wrong?
00:06:41I'm not pregnant.
00:06:41Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:45We've tried for so long.
00:06:47We have more than we can handle with Lill.
00:06:49Oh, I know, but...
00:06:52It's just that when Annie found out the news, it maybe won a baby of our own even more.
00:06:59And...
00:07:01Now that she's staying with us...
00:07:04No.
00:07:08We are going to have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:11Well, all good things come in God's time, and...
00:07:15Maybe we should just let him decide.
00:07:18What if he doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:29Hey.
00:07:31Come on.
00:07:33Let's go help Lill finish the dishes, hmm?
00:07:35I guess I'd best believe him now.
00:07:50Peter, please be careful.
00:07:52Yes.
00:07:53My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:56I love you.
00:07:57I love you too.
00:07:58Bye, ladies.
00:08:04Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:05Will do.
00:08:07Step up!
00:08:15Let me see what's all right.
00:08:17Boy, are you all right?
00:08:19I don't know.
00:08:20Check on the team, Mike.
00:08:42Welcome home, darling.
00:08:43Oh, beautiful.
00:08:45You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:08:59Who are you always?
00:09:00Welcome, Saxton.
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, Saxton'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.
00:09:17All 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.
00:09:31Now, 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.
00:09:40Well, 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.
00:09:51How was your walk?
00:10:01You're tearing around a 30-pound sack of flour.
00:10:04Slow day?
00:10:05Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone comes in from getting caught on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder.
00:10:12You know, when I was traveling through 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.
00:10:27It's our job as doctors to care about even the most minor illness or affliction.
00:10:31And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:35That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:39Linda, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:42You can tell me anything.
00:10:43You know that.
00:10:43What is it?
00:10:49It'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.
00:11:06You know, my pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:16You always walk?
00:11:17Well, lately I've been riding.
00:11:19You walking to my camp?
00:11:21No.
00:11:23I ain't got a horse to give to Little Ant.
00:11:25But he's still a little green.
00:11:27Pesty.
00:11:28I've been breaking him, getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:32Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:35I know nothing of saddle horses.
00:11:37Only harness, bro.
00:11:39I stick with wagons.
00:11:40You'd better pour it.
00:11:43I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:46What happened today?
00:11:48Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:50And 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.
00:12:13And you must be Joshua.
00:12:16Welcome to her home.
00:12:17Very nice to meet you, Ms. 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.
00:12:28It's funny.
00:12:30I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:33Allowed?
00:12:34No, I just...
00:12:35And just who would we need permission from?
00:12:36Go easy on him, Lil.
00:12:38He just got here.
00:12:39I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:43Apparently not.
00:12:48That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:49We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:51You'll get used to it.
00:12:52Well, now, let's go get washed up.
00:12:59Smells like my favorite.
00:13:01Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:13:03Indeed.
00:13:03Miss 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.
00:13:33I 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.
00:14:00Well, I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:02Well, this isn't for school.
00:14:04So you read for fun?
00:14:06I'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.
00:14:17Nice 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...
00:15:02It's all in the room.
00:15:14I can't get...
00:15:17Can I help?
00:15:20Can we just sit down?
00:15:22Just...
00:15:22I think Lou's suit is...
00:15:25It's all in the room.
00:15:27This is...
00:15:28It's all in the room.
00:15:30This is...
00:15:31This is...
00:15:33This is...
00:15:35This is...
00:15:35This is...
00:15:36This is...
00:15:39This is...
00:15:40What is it?
00:15:49I don't know if I can't.
00:15:52It's nothing.
00:15:53It's nothing.
00:16:00It's always really well.
00:16:10It's nothing.
00:16:40It's nothing.
00:17:10It's nothing.
00:17:13Did she have a seizure?
00:17:26No, she has all the other symptoms.
00:17:28Well, I'll telegraph Peter first thing in the morning.
00:17:31Tell him what's happened.
00:17:33And let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:17:37Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:38Well, I made it all.
00:17:39Why are his mother?
00:17:40You said she lives in Spartan.
00:17:47Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:50Total rest for you, Mrs. Watson, in a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:54To being lazy, you mean.
00:17:55I cannot just lay around all day.
00:17:58I'm a doctor, remember?
00:17:59But I am your doctor and this is my home.
00:18:01And if it is enclampsia, you know bed rest is called for.
00:18:04Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:06Perhaps.
00:18:07But if I'm not, I won't be sorry later.
00:18:08I love you.
00:18:12I 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?
00:18:27No, 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.
00:18:37Bye, 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.
00:18:57Do you have any idea how much I love you?
00:18:58Well, it never hurts to hear.
00:19:02I love you, too, Lee Owens.
00:19:06Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:19:08All right.
00:19:10Have a good day, sweet darling.
00:19:12Belinda 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.
00:19:32Doc O'clock.
00:19:45It's McQueen.
00:19:46Sorry, we're closed today, but if you'd like to make an appointment...
00:19:49Well, you're 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.
00:19:58Mabel 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...
00:20:19I don't need your mouth nor your advice, and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:22Doctor's not worth a...
00:20:23Who's in the hollering?
00:20:29Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:30Yes, I'm just frustrated.
00:20:32I'm 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?
00:20:47There 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.
00:21:11Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:18Must run in the family.
00:21:21I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence, but she was adopted.
00:21:26Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:28Really?
00:21:28Hmm.
00:21:29I never would have known.
00:21:31I mean, she and Mrs....
00:21:32I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:36Is that a fact?
00:21:37Well, 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 carrying so low that it'll be a boy.
00:22:31It is silly.
00:22:31That's an old wife's tale.
00:22:33There's no medical merit to it.
00:22:35Say what you want, but when Peter's sister was pregnant,
00:22:38Mary was concerned because she was carrying so far out in front.
00:22:41She said it would be a breached birth, and she was right.
00:22:44One lucky guess, and she's got you believing made-up stories.
00:22:47Goodness, he's getting his exercise today.
00:22:50You want to feel?
00:22:51That's all right.
00:22:53Come on, Belinda.
00:22:54Don't be nervous.
00:22:55It's so strange.
00:23:00I never thought I'd be a mother.
00:23:03It suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world.
00:23:09I'm sorry.
00:23:11I've opened that wound, haven't I?
00:23:14Maybe we shouldn't talk about it.
00:23:16You know, I know so many women that have gotten pregnant without even trying.
00:23:20And Lee and I have been trying.
00:23:22We've both seen it take some time.
00:23:24You just can't get impatient with yourself.
00:23:27I look after this one woman, Mabel McQueen.
00:23:31She's had six babies in the past eight years without even trying.
00:23:34It's important to you, isn't it?
00:23:35I think it's important to you.
00:23:38You're right.
00:23:41We're best to 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.
00:24:14She's out for the night.
00:24:15She keeps insisting she feels fine.
00:24:18I think I've heard that before.
00:24:24You two are so much alike, it's frightening.
00:24:27I suppose it's why we're such good friends.
00:24:32I 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?
00:24:42He's only a couple years older.
00:24:43Doc, he's an apprentice blacksmith.
00:24:46I want better for Lillian.
00:24:47I'm the wife of a blacksmith, and you don't hear me complaining.
00:24:50I spent the last five years trying to figure out how I tricked you into marrying me.
00:24:54You could have done much better.
00:24:56You didn't trick me into anything.
00:24:58I married you because I fell in love with you, Leones.
00:25:02And if Lillian and Joshua had taken interest in one another,
00:25:05I don't think it's our place to stand in their way.
00:25:07Besides, telling Lillian she can't have somethings, like, daring to try to stop her.
00:25:16I get your point.
00:25:18I don't want to get in the way of her happiness.
00:25:20Still, you left a small town to follow your dream.
00:25:24And if Lillian wants to go to college, I darn sure want to see it happen.
00:25:30I don't want her tied down to Saxon.
00:25:34I hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has.
00:25:39It'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.
00:26:05Don'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.
00:26:14I 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.
00:26:29What?
00:26:29You knocked your head off, boy.
00:26:36Now, you hold on a second.
00:26:37Now, the good book tells me to turn the other cheek.
00:26:39Now, I only have two.
00:26:41So after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:44That 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.
00:27:18May I walk with you?
00:27:18I did the best I could, Jim, but you better go easy on it, all right?
00:27:30My boss strikes me as a hard-working man.
00:27:45He lives and breathes work.
00:27:47Ma says sometimes he rolls open to 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?
00:28:01A doctor like your ma?
00:28:03I don't know.
00:28:05I haven't decided.
00:28:06Maybe I want to be a lawyer or a famous writer like Harriet Beecher Stowe.
00:28:10One thing for sure, I want to go to college.
00:28:13Well, I better get to work.
00:28:15Have a nice day, Joshua.
00:28:17You too, Lily.
00:28:23I don't think you should be climbing the stairs.
00:28:32But I feel fine.
00:28:33What's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day.
00:28:37But it's only been three days since you had pain and felt faint.
00:28:40You know the symptoms and treatment as well as I do.
00:28:42That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:47Is that singing?
00:28:50I 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, jeez.
00:29:15Thank you, my good man.
00:29:18And you have a blessed day.
00:29:21And you must be the infamous Doc Owen.
00:29:25Look at this.
00:29:27Mary Watson.
00:29:29Oh, she knew that already.
00:29:30Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:34Would you be a dear and bring my thing along?
00:29:36Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:45Where else would you expect me to be?
00:29:47Oh, my little lamb.
00:29:48But didn't you get the telegraph from Belinda's husband?
00:29:50I did.
00:29:51That's why I'm here.
00:29:52I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend.
00:29:55But I certainly wasn't going to miss the birth of my first grandson.
00:30:00I've missed you.
00:30:02Oh, it's darker than the inside of a cow in here.
00:30:05Yes, it is.
00:30:06Oh, please don't do that.
00:30:07What?
00:30:08She's not a mushroom.
00:30:09She needs light.
00:30:11All right.
00:30:12Let'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.
00:30:37You don't learn everything in medical school.
00:30:40That is a matter of opinion and I wholeheartedly disagree.
00:30:43Ladies, I'm not a sack of flour.
00:30:45There I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw.
00:30:58I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night.
00:31:03I expected twins, not triplets.
00:31:07In a blizzard?
00:31:08Oh, the little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:31:13Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:16Women giving birth are always an emergency.
00:31:21That's the penalty we pay for Eve eating the apple.
00:31:25It is not a penalty.
00:31:27Wow, Mrs. Watson, you sure got an exciting life.
00:31:29Well, I should probably get you up to your room, Annie.
00:31:31If you let that little fella start running your life now, you'll be lacing his shoes when he's 30.
00:31:38Yes, Annie told me you believe it's a boy.
00:31:41Believe? Nothing.
00:31:42It's a fact.
00:31:44Honestly, Mary, you can't cause...
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.
00:31:58Good night, Annie.
00:31:58Good night, Annie.
00:32:01There is no way to tell whether...
00:32:04Well, I think it's time we all settle down.
00:32:06Huh?
00:32:07We have a full day tomorrow.
00:32:14Thank you for dinner, Dr. Holmes.
00:32:18Joshua, William told us that she came to her rescue.
00:32:22Our mother and I both appreciate it.
00:32:24It was my pleasure, sir.
00:32:25Thank you again.
00:32:29I'll walk you out.
00:32:31Aren't they the most adorable couple?
00:32:45So tell me, how was Captain Nemo this evening?
00:32:49When I left him, he was exploring the ruins of Atlantis, although I can't say for sure what he does when I'm not looking.
00:32:54I never met a girl who made a book sound so interesting.
00:32:58You can borrow it if you like.
00:32:59No, no, I'm not sure if I'm sold on Nemo just yet.
00:33:03Maybe you could read some of it to me, though.
00:33:05Just so I can find out if it's my kind of story.
00:33:07I could do that.
00:33:09Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:33:11Maybe on Saturday?
00:33:13We can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:33:15I think I know just the place.
00:33:19Lee Owens, you are not spying on our only daughter.
00:33:22I'm not spying on her.
00:33:23I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:31I see what you got there.
00:33:54Well, you're really improving.
00:33:58Thank you, sir.
00:34:00I'm trying my best to impress you.
00:34:02As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:34:07Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you, maybe, um, Lillian and that.
00:34:14Do you want permission to court Louis, right?
00:34:19Yes, sir.
00:34:20Well, I don't want to distract her from her goals.
00:34:23I promise I'll be respectful of her and not get in the way of her schooling.
00:34:26I know how much she wants to go to college.
00:34:28Well, I'll think about it.
00:34:31All right.
00:34:33I understand.
00:34:35Meantime, 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, and 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.
00:34:54Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:54Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:56You must be so frustrated, cooped 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.
00:35:12If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:17Have a nice day.
00:35:18Praise the Lord, we're free.
00:35:26Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:29We 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.
00:35:59I'm dizzy all the time, and I can barely pick up the youngins.
00:36:03That's because your anemia is getting worse.
00:36:04Your body needs iron.
00:36:06You're only going to get sicker.
00:36:07What can I do to make it better?
00:36:09I already told you.
00:36:10Vegetables are the tonic.
00:36:12If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:14I 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 Melinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:37:04I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me, but everybody likes me.
00:37:10She isn't happy.
00:37:12She's been trying to have a baby.
00:37:15And Melinda just feels discouraged.
00:37:17Me showing up in my condition and staying till the baby comes.
00:37:21I think it's just another painful reminder.
00:37:23Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:37:27It's baby trouble she's got.
00:37:29I've surely got the cure.
00:37:32How about a sugary treat?
00:37:37I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:38It isn't here yet.
00:37:40It's been over a week.
00:37:41You said it'd be here by now.
00:37:43The freight line lost the shipping order.
00:37:45There's nothing I can do about it.
00:37:47There's something I could do if there was another general store within ten miles of here.
00:37:51It'll be here within a week.
00:37:53I'm here, Lloyd.
00:37:57What 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.
00:38:16She's just feeling poorly at length.
00:38:18She's got a newborn and five young'uns.
00:38:21It says it wears her out.
00:38:22You think a mother doesn't work?
00:38:26I've seen this a bunch during and after pregnancy.
00:38:30This is a severe case of anemia.
00:38:32She don't need coddling, lady.
00:38:34I know how to take care of my wife.
00:38:36No, you don't.
00:38:37You are selfish and rude and contemptuous and you can't see the forest for the trees.
00:38:46Doc Owens is trying to save your wife's life.
00:38:50She's dying.
00:38:50You get her over to the clinic and you beg Doc Owens for more of that tonic.
00:38:58Don't talk to me like that.
00:38:59I'll talk to you any way I want.
00:39:02Get her to the clinic.
00:39:07You better pray to the merciful and good Lord that she doesn't slam the door in your ungrateful face.
00:39:16You better pray to the Lord.
00:39:17Amen.
00:39:18Amen.
00:39:18Amen.
00:39:18Amen.

00:39:30Amen.
00:39:31Amen.
00:39:32I gave you a double dose, so do not take any more today.
00:39:34No, ma'am.
00:39:35Starting tomorrow morning, take two teaspoons every morning.
00:39:38And if you don't get your strength back in four days, get back in here.
00:39:41Amen.

00:40:15yes dear i'm sorry you're sleeping well not anymore
00:40:23my apprentice wants to court lillian his name is joshua i told him i'd think about it
00:40:35well then think don't think too long lillian's grown up i'm having a hard time with it you're
00:40:44having a hard time letting her grow up just try to protect her i don't think she needs protection
00:40:49from joshua he's a very nice young man that's all you have to say about it good night sweetheart
00:40:58all right tomorrow i'll give joshua my permission to court lillian
00:41:14i don't think i don't know about your little excursion with annie this town is filled with
00:41:25gossips can't keep a secret for more than five minutes it's a pretty little town sykeston i can
00:41:32see why you like it here may i ask why you feel the need to go against every instruction i have
00:41:38for annie i don't deliberately go against your word we just disagree about how to treat her this
00:41:45isn't a competition mary if a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia i wouldn't dream of
00:41:51telling you how to treat them that's your business babies are my business have been for 30 years
00:41:59it's just there's been so many new advancements sometimes the old ways are best annie may have
00:42:05a serious condition which could be fatal to both her and the baby are you sure of course i'm not
00:42:10sure but i'm not taking any chances so it's true what they say that doctors only practice medicine
00:42:17this conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere
00:42:22so annie tells me you're barren or uh or having trouble anyway i don't think that's any of your
00:42:31concern i see this problem a lot if you want i could give you some remedies that are guaranteed
00:42:36to work i know how it's done mary i don't think there's anything wrong with you so what do you
00:42:42think is the problem you're too high strung folks worry too much about work family or whether or not
00:42:50they can have a baby then years go by and nothing happens then one day they decide to stop trying
00:42:57and before you know it they find they're with child so your sage advice for me is to relax read a book
00:43:06before you go to bed take some deep breath and before you know it i'll be back to deliver your
00:43:14little one i'll make sure i try that
00:43:36every baby boy needs his own blanket don't you agree yes i do
00:43:41i'm gonna head to the shop for a few hours i'll be back in time for supper
00:43:51don't you ever take time off oh 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 we 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
00:44:03william you look lovely where are you headed off to joshua and i are having a picnic
00:44:11you enjoy yourself and please tell joshua that we said hello
00:44:15i will you be back in time for supper now no exceptions i will i promise
00:44:20bye everyone bye dear
00:44:23i love it the sea is everything it covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe
00:44:42its breath is pure and healthy it is an immense desert where man is never lonely for he feels
00:44:47life stirring on all sides this sea is the only embodiment of the supernatural and wonderful
00:44:52existence it is nothing but love and emotion this is the living infinite as one of your poets has said
00:44:58i've been reading for almost two hours you must be bored
00:45:03i don't think i can ever get bored listening to you talk
00:45:06you're just saying that
00:45:07no i'm not i swear it's just
00:45:11i'd like this captain nemo if you weren't holding his friends hostage all the time
00:45:15well i can't let them go and they might tell the world who he is
00:45:17twenty thousand leagues is an allegory it's about personal freedom
00:45:20nemo means nobody in latin and he's invisible to the world and wants to keep it that way
00:45:25you're brilliant you know that
00:45:27i am not
00:45:28lee you working today
00:45:38you work harder than any man i know
00:45:43well i can't let the customers down besides 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
00:45:59i just can't figure lulian out
00:46:02i'm trying to be a good father to her
00:46:05our children grow up start spreading their wings
00:46:09the father has to be aware of that and try to grow with his child
00:46:14yeah belinda tolerates more than i do
00:46:17she's a mother
00:46:18the good lord gave them the patience of joe when it comes to raising their children
00:46:23he shortchanged fathers in that area
00:46:25yeah
00:46:27yeah
00:46:28i really wish you would get some rest
00:46:35i feel fine
00:46:37looks like someone may have been wrong about my condition
00:46:41perhaps
00:46:42so if things improve with lee
00:46:46he says he isn't bothered but
00:46:48i still sense that he's disappointed we can't have a baby
00:46:52well
00:46:53maybe you're just being overly sensitive and you think that he's disappointed
00:46:56maybe
00:46:57you know i'm starting to think that maybe she regressed marrying me
00:47:01now lee
00:47:02that is just plain nonsense
00:47:05she's proud as a peacock that she married you
00:47:08maybe
00:47:08have you spoken to her about it
00:47:11in a roundabout way
00:47:12of course she says i'm wrong
00:47:14still she seems kind of distant lately
00:47:18she's got something on her mind
00:47:20most women do when they get like that
00:47:22you know we're uh
00:47:25trying to have a baby
00:47:27so far no luck
00:47:30you have to have faith
00:47:32sometimes it's hard river
00:47:34talk to her about your feelings
00:47:38i'd best be getting home
00:47:41this is dave's
00:47:42they'll give me an earful if i'm late for supper
00:47:44and myself included
00:47:46well i see
00:47:54you didn't need my help putting supper on the table
00:47:57you're taking a nap
00:47:59we just wanted you to be able to rest
00:48:00i'll rest enough when i'm dead
00:48:02give me that knife before you cut yourself
00:48:06so do you miss your family
00:48:14i do
00:48:15my pa's a farmer back in pennsylvania
00:48:18you wanted more from me than to spend my entire life plowing fields
00:48:21so
00:48:22i said if i got good enough maybe i can find some work in philadelphia
00:48:25sounds like he cares about you a lot
00:48:28yeah my family's pretty close
00:48:30it's kind of strange though
00:48:32you know
00:48:34being out here all by myself
00:48:35i have three sisters and two brothers and not a moment apiece
00:48:38back at the boarding house i got nothing but quiet
00:48:40i know what you mean
00:48:42i mostly grew up in an orphanage until ma and pa adopted me when i was ten
00:48:46i'd spent so long in a room with other kids i couldn't wait to have a room of my own
00:48:50now i miss having someone to talk to
00:48:54yeah me
00:48:55do don't i
00:48:58so tell me something
00:49:01how'd you ever find a place like this anyway
00:49:05i stumbled across it by accident while riding one day
00:49:08and it's so far off the main roads no one really comes out here
00:49:11so i brought some of my old stuff and
00:49:14now it's where i come to be alone
00:49:16i can see why
00:49:18captain nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape
00:49:21this reminds me of it
00:49:24well the timber still seems
00:49:27i wouldn't do that
00:49:27whoa
00:49:29not as sound as you might think
00:49:33you're probably right
00:49:35i think it's best we pack up
00:49:38well i'm happy to see you and mary are getting along
00:49:44you know her fertility advice to me was to relax
00:49:49and read a book before bed
00:49:51did you try it
00:49:53of course not
00:49:54she's been doing this longer than we've been alive
00:49:57i can't believe you annie watson
00:49:59you've spent three years in medical school
00:50:01five years practicing medicine
00:50:03and you're gonna believe that woman's folk magic
00:50:05it's rubbish plain and simple
00:50:07we ask people to believe in things they don't understand and they do
00:50:10because they have trust and faith in us
00:50:13just like they have faith in the lord
00:50:15okay
00:50:16it is not the same thing and we're talking about mary here
00:50:18why do you have such a hard time believing in mary's ways
00:50:20okay
00:50:21mary is a lovely woman
00:50:24but you have to admit
00:50:25she's a little touch in the head
00:50:26she doesn't like me any more than i like her
00:50:29really
00:50:30the other day at the general store
00:50:32mary defended you to the ends of the earth
00:50:35what are you talking about
00:50:36the man with the anemic wife
00:50:37the one that you said was such a success story
00:50:40mary is the reason that he brought her back to you
00:50:43that's why lloyd mcqueen brought his wife back to me
00:50:45mary unloaded on him like a tornado
00:50:48spoke up for you
00:50:49and just plain made him cower
00:50:51do you have any idea what time it is
00:51:05hi pa
00:51:06you were supposed to be home for supper
00:51:08joshua and i weren't that hungry
00:51:10so 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
00:51:18but 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 coil
00:51:22until i say so
00:51:23you'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 to trust you again
00:51:29that's completely unfair
00:51:31joshua is 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 young lady
00:51:36lil
00:51:38i was worried about you
00:51:42hello joshua

00:52:13i just wanted to come by and say how sorry i am for keeping lillian out so late

00:52:23ma i can't find the
00:52:24bandages
00:52:27pa said i can't see you for a while

00:53:02pa 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

00:53:19once i got started it was hard to quit
00:53:21i mean the sun was already up when i finally closed the book
00:53:24so you stayed up all night just to read about captain nemo
00:53:26well i don't think i would have gotten much sleep with or without him

01:01:20so
01:01:23so
01:01:27so
01:01:35All right, whoa, whoa.
01:01:55Whoa.
01:02:00You seen Lillian?
01:02:01No, why?
01:02:02Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:02:03She's been missing all afternoon.
01:02:05We got in an argument at the shop over Mr. Owens, and she stormed off.
01:02:08Said you were the only one who understands her.
01:02:10We were hoping she'd run off to find you.
01:02:12She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:02:15It's about to get dark outside.
01:02:17She gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:19I think I know where she is.
01:02:35It's worse this time.
01:02:41I feel like I could faint.
01:02:43Okay, okay, let's get her inside.
01:02:45It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:48I know where she is.
01:02:49It's...
01:02:51Okay.
01:02:51I don't know.
01:03:21How much further?
01:03:24It's just up ahead.
01:03:33How are you feeling?
01:03:35I'm really not as light at it as 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.
01:03:51Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:03:55Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:04:14Was it 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 lamps.
01:04:29Let's go.
01:04:30Lil!
01:04:32Lil!
01:04:41It's right up there.
01:04:42I see her.
01:04:46Lil!
01:04:49Lil.
01:04:51Give me a hand with this.
01:04:52One, two, three.
01:04:58You got it?
01:05:00Lil.
01:05:02Lil.
01:05:03Lil.
01:05:04Come on, talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:12Pa?
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:14Not me, Ronnie.
01:05:17Just take it easy.
01:05:18Just stay down, all right?
01:05:22I'm gonna get you out of here.
01:05:23Okay.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:25How's Lilian?
01:05:26A few cuts and bruises, but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:42She's out for the night.
01:05:43Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:05:44Give her a couple of days.
01:05:45She'll be right as rain.
01:05:46At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:05:47Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:05:48Ah.
01:05:49This too shall pass.
01:05:50Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:05:51True miracles.
01:05:52Are you still fretting about the baby making?
01:05:53I don't know.
01:05:54Are you still fretting about the baby making?
01:05:55I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:05:56Hmm?
01:05:57Give it up if you want.
01:05:58But we're gonna get the baby.
01:05:59Let's go.
01:06:00I'm not the baby.
01:06:01I'm not.
01:06:02I'm not the baby.
01:06:03We're still fretting about the baby making.
01:06:04I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:05Hmm?
01:06:06Give it up if you want.
01:06:07But I'm tired of the baby making.
01:06:08I'm tired of the baby, Mary.
01:06:09But I'm tired of the baby making.
01:06:10I'm tired of the baby making.
01:06:11And I'm tired of the baby making, Mary.
01:06:12Oh.
01:06:13You're tired of the baby making.
01:06:14Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:18True miracles.
01:06:19Are you still fretting about the baby-making?
01:06:22I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:26Give it up if you want.
01:06:28But I'm telling you,
01:06:30the shine in your hair is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:35You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:36It doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:38It only matters what you believe.
01:06:40What do you mean?
01:06:40Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:45It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:50I'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,
01:07:03and all is forgiven.
01:07:06That's a promise.
01:07:10Late night tonight.
01:07:17Everyone's worn out.
01:07:20A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:21You know,
01:07:28I think I might
01:07:31read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:34Really?
01:07:35You never read in bed.
01:07:37I think it'll do me good.
01:07:39Help me unwind
01:07:40after the long day we've all had.
01:07:41Hmm.
01:07:47Doc.
01:07:50I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:54Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:58And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage.
01:08:00You need a good home.
01:08:01You mean you'll still be happy
01:08:03even if we can't have children of our home?
01:08:05I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:09Always have been.
01:08:10Always will be.
01:08:10Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:18Yeah.
01:08:20Yeah, I like the sunrise.
01:08:25I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:28I love you, too.
01:08:30Good night.
01:08:32Oh, all right.
01:08:33You can read your book now?
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:37All right.
01:08:40Awesome.
01:08:40I love to go to sleep.
01:08:48I'm sure I can't help you read it or no.
01:08:51All 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 go to the social.
01:09:16I am a doctor.
01:09:17I vote yes.
01:09:18Well, that's one vote for Dr. Annie and one vote for the midwife.
01:09:22I guess you've got the tie-breaking vote, Doc.
01:09:25I'm sorry, Annie.
01:09:29I'm going to have to side with the midwife.
01:09:31But I love ice cream.
01:09:32Then I'll send you some.
01:09:34It's not the same.
01:09:35How do I know you're not going to sneak out when we're gone?
01:09:37Don't give it a second thought, Doc.
01:09:40This old ball and chain will be sitting right here like a prison warden.
01:09:44You're both against me.
01:09:45That's right.
01:09:46Read your book and pout.
01:10:01Don't you look beautiful?
01:10:03Except 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're going to escort me to the social.
01:10:11You'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.
01:10:25I'm sorry for not making curfew the other night.
01:10:28Oh, no.
01:10:28You were just worried about me.
01:10:30Don't worry about it.
01:10:32You're growing up so fast sometimes I can't keep up with you.
01:10:36Thanks, Pa.
01:10:37Come here.
01:10:41And then he stepped like this.
01:10:54There you go, son.
01:10:58Give me a hat and throw.
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.
01:11:07Hey, partner.
01:11:15How's your ice cream?
01:11:17Doc Owens, can we talk?
01:11:20What?
01:11:20Do you know my husband, Lee?
01:11:23Lord?
01:11:24I want to thank you.
01:11:26Mabel's as different as night and day.
01:11:28It's all I can do to keep up with her.
01:11:30Well, you do look like a brand new person.
01:11:32I've had a lot more energy.
01:11:33We still need some extra sleep in the afternoons, but getting stronger every day.
01:11:37Well, the best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed to receive with a joyful spirit.
01:11:43It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:45Well, I, uh, mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:51Thanks again, Doc.
01:11:52It was my pleasure.
01:11:54And I should be the one to apologize to you, Mabel.
01:11:58I had no right to be cross with you when you needed my help.
01:12:01I hope you can forgive me.
01:12:02There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:07Have a good day.
01:12:12Wow.
01:12:13That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:17You'd like some ice cream?
01:12:18I'd love some.
01:12:19I got these telegrams.
01:12:39Where's Annie?
01:12:39The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:42Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:43I need Belinda now.
01:12:45I want to see Annie.
01:12:47Get Belinda now.
01:12:53You look beautiful.
01:12:55Say, you look handsome.
01:12:59I still can't believe it.
01:13:01Can't believe what?
01:13:03That I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:06It's very sweet of you to stay, Joshua.
01:13:10Yeah.
01:13:11Sounds good.
01:13:12I'll get this.
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.
01:13:42Melinda!
01:13:43Stop going!
01:13:43I need you!
01:13:46Whoa!
01:13:47Whoa!
01:13:51Melinda!
01:13:51Peter!
01:13:52It's Annie.
01:13:52You gotta come quick.
01:13:54Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:13:58Yeah!
01:13:59Yeah!
01:14:00Stand back!
01:14:01Target!
01:14:03Yeah!
01:14:08Mary.
01:14:09Thank God you're back.
01:14:11She's had a seizure.
01:14:12I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete.
01:14:16I'm the best way down here.
01:14:18There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:29Dear Lord.
01:14:30Please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:36Amen.
01:14:38Amen.
01:14:39Thank you, Lee.
01:14:41You're welcome.
01:14:42Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:43Peter.
01:14:57Peter.
01:14:57Peter.
01:14:57He's waiting downstairs.
01:15:01Right.
01:15:01I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:15I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:24What did she mean?
01:15:38You know what has to be done.
01:15:40That baby has to come out if we're to save it.
01:15:43Even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:45That baby is ready.
01:15:47She was talking about a cesarean delivery, which 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, and there wasn't a clamsy involved.
01:16:04Is there no other choice?
01:16:08Not if she doesn't go into labors.
01:16:10Well then, we'd best get that labor going.
01:16:14What is that?
01:16:21Scotch broom with a little vanilla to help it go down.
01:16:24Women have been using it for centuries.
01:16:27Scotch 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.
01:16:35A little of this, and we'll have our baby boy in no time.
01:16:44Is there anything else I can do?
01:16:47A glass of water.
01:17:14Our temperature is slightly raised, but our heartbeat and our breathing are normal.
01:17:28No contractions yet.
01:17:30It doesn't seem to be working.
01:17:32It's never taken this long.
01:17:34Let's just give it a little more time.
01:17:37We could lose Annie and the baby.
01:17:39Annie, do you have everything here that you need to do a cesarean delivery?
01:17:50How about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:57I'm going to make some tea.
01:17:59Do you like a cup?
01:18:00No, thank you.
01:18:01Any news?
01:18:16Nothing yet.
01:18:18I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:20You're doing fine, Annie.
01:18:41Just keep breathing.
01:18:47Contractions closer together.
01:18:49We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family.
01:18:54It's all right.
01:18:55It's all right.
01:18:56Keep breathing.
01:18:57Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:19:22Congratulations, Uncle Nito.
01:19:28She's so beautiful.
01:19:32I've delivered hundreds of babies, but I've never seen one this perfect.
01:19:38And I'm not just saying that because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:42I thought she was a boy.
01:19:44She carried like a boy.
01:19:47We live and learn, don't we, Doc?
01:19:49We sure do.
01:19:50Thank you both for being here.
01:19:52There's no other place we'd rather be.
01:19:58Is it okay if I come in?
01:20:05Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:13Can I hold her?
01:20:16Come sit.
01:20:28Hey, you got that, fella?
01:20:49Brought you a present.
01:20:51Present.
01:20:51These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:55When I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:21:00The way you went through 20,000 links, I figured you'd use a few more.
01:21:03Oh, you think so?
01:21:07I should probably get going.
01:21:09Okay.
01:21:10Will I see you later?
01:21:13Sure is this one fine day.
01:21:14Okay.
01:21:14Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter, I could use a little help in here.
01:21:31I'm coming.
01:21:34Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us and the love which envelops us.
01:21:39May we always strive to walk the way you like and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:47Amen.
01:21:58Hey, are you all right?
01:22:00I'm fine.
01:22:01Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:03I've gotten so used to you being at the house, it's going to be too quiet when we're gone.
01:22:06Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:10I think it's time we go home.
01:22:11I'm going to miss you so very much.
01:22:14And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:21What 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 what we can.
01:22:33Let's enjoy her what we can.
01:22:39Thank 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, but I had some expert help.
01:22:51This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:56I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:59Me too.
01:23:00All aboard, folks!
01:23:01We're burning daylight!
01:23:03I think it's about that time.
01:23:05Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:06Of course.
01:23:07I thought you'd do.
01:23:19Bye.
01:23:32There you go.
01:23:35Easy now.
01:23:36All right, take her easy there.
01:23:42Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:47How do I think you're married?
01:23:48Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:53I learned a lot from you.
01:23:56And I from you.
01:23:57I may bring them into the world, but you keep them alive and kicking once they're here.
01:24:02Now, if you ever need a good midwife, you know where to find me.
01:24:07Oh, young man, I'm going to need a hand here.
01:24:24All right.
01:24:26Here we go.
01:24:27Wait a minute.
01:24:28One, two, three.
01:24:28Easy.
01:24:28Oh.
01:24:29Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:34Well, Commodore, are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:37I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:40Yes, ma'am.
01:24:41Yeah, get out.
01:24:43Get out.
01:24:44What are you and Mary whispering to, Jenny?
01:25:01Oh, she's telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:03Are you sure?
01:25:14I'm a doctor.
01:25:15I know a pregnant woman when I see one, especially when I am one.
01:25:22Hey.
01:25:24We're going to have a baby.
01:25:26Baby?
01:25:28We're going to have a baby.
01:25:30Lily and Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:34Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:36Yes, ma'am.
01:25:39Joshua Coyle, don't just stand there and gawk.
01:25:41You've got a job to do.
01:25:44Yes, ma'am.
01:25:47I've got patients to attend to and baby plans to make.
01:25:53Now, wait up.
01:25:55Now, wait up a bit.
01:25:56How far along are you?
01:26:01Now, I'm serious.
01:26:04Well, we've got to start talking about names, really.
01:26:06I mean, I like late for a boy.
01:26:08Oh, you think it's going to be a boy?
01:26:09Or, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl.
01:26:12What do you think?
01:26:13Oh, that's very pretty.
01:26:14Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
01:26:16What do you think?
01:26:17All right, I'll hold on.
01:26:18I'll get the door for you.
01:26:19Oh, late.
01:26:20My goodness.
01:26:21Take it easy.
01:26:21Stop it.
