00:54 Where's the doctor?
00:56 Why do you want him?
00:58 Why do you think? The boy needs help.
01:00 Maybe so, mister, but he won't get it here.
01:02 I said, where's the doctor?
01:04 Over there.
01:06 Hey, wait a minute.
01:08 You get him out of here.
01:10 Doc Langland won't go anywhere near him.
01:12 Why, there isn't a doctor within 100 miles
01:14 that would touch that kid with a 10-foot pole.

01:44 Well, how did it happen, Ted?
01:46 Well, he just all of a sudden fell down, Mrs. Summers.
01:49 Well, he grabbed his side like and fell down.
01:52 This man who took him, you say his name's Randall?
01:55 Yes, sir.
01:57 I told him not to bring Carrie to no doctor.
01:59 I told him. He didn't even listen.
02:02 He just told me to come get you, and then he took off for town.
02:05 All right, boy. Go on home now.
02:08 Well, you gonna go after him, Mr. Summers?
02:11 Go on, Ted.
02:15 You better get on home.
02:19 [dramatic music]
02:22 Go tell Mag we'll be bringing Carrie.
02:34 Tell her to get ready.
02:48 Hello, Carrie.
02:50 Hello, Doctor.
02:52 Now, where does it hurt, Carrie?
03:05 Let me see.
03:07 Now, does it hurt real bad when I do this?
03:10 Oh!
03:11 I had to do that, Carrie. I'm sorry.
03:13 Am I gonna die, Doctor?
03:15 Of course not.
03:17 Now, you just try to relax.
03:19 Will you do that for me?
03:21 Are you a relative?
03:28 Um, no, sir. My name's Randall.
03:31 I found a boy out in the woods there,
03:33 and I don't know nothing about sickness, but I knew he needed help.
03:36 What's your interest in this, Mr. Randall?
03:38 I got none other than I knew he needed some doctoring.
03:41 You shouldn't have brought him here. Not to me, anyway.
03:44 See, what's going on around here, anyway?
03:46 I found that boy out in the woods. He had a playmate with him.
03:49 I told him I was gonna take this boy into town to a doctor.
03:52 He looked at me like I was gonna go out and shoot him.
03:55 This boy needs an operation right away.
03:57 Yeah.
03:59 Well, you better get at it, then.
04:01 I can't operate without permission.
04:04 That's why I asked if you were a relative.
04:09 Is he in that much danger?
04:11 I'm afraid he is.
04:13 Well, I sent his playmate over to tell his folks I took the kid into town.
04:17 I imagine he'll be here any time now.
04:19 Can you wait?
04:21 You go ahead and operate.
04:31 I'm a relative. You got my permission. Go ahead, now.
04:34 I'm afraid you don't understand the situation, Mr. Randall.
04:37 Hello, Tom.
04:43 Have you touched him?
04:45 No.
04:48 Don't you worry, son.
04:50 They ain't gonna lay a hand on you.
04:52 Mag will fix you up good as new.
04:55 I'll settle with you later, mister.
04:59 Just a second, Tom.
05:01 You got nothing to say to me, butcher.
05:03 Tom, I know how you feel about doctors. Maybe you've got a reason.
05:06 But I have to tell you this.
05:08 If you take Carrie away from me now,
05:10 he won't have a chance.
05:12 Have you any idea what's wrong with your boy?
05:15 Oh, bellyache, fever.
05:19 Most likely all them crab apples he ate last night.
05:22 No, it isn't the crab apples.
05:24 Your boy has acute appendicitis.
05:27 Fancy words. Don't mean nothing.
05:30 You know what an appendix is, don't you, Tom?
05:33 It's an organ. Sometimes it gets infected.
05:36 If you don't take it out, it can kill you.
05:38 That's what you say.
05:40 No, it isn't what I say.
05:42 Almost all doctors know about the appendix now.
05:45 Tom, please let me take it out. Carrie will be all right.
05:48 Sure.
05:50 That's what they said about my old man.
05:52 So I let them cut him.
05:54 Well, you know what happened.
05:56 That was different, Tom.
05:58 Your father had a serious disease.
06:00 Besides, that was a long time ago.
06:02 We've learned a great deal since then.
06:04 All I know is he was alive when they put him on that table
06:07 and he was dead when they took him off.
06:09 Whatever it is that's wrong with Carrie, easy, son.
06:16 A man will fix it.
06:18 Tom, if you love that boy, you'll let me operate.
06:22 Langland, Carrie's my only child.
06:25 He means more to me than anything on this earth.
06:28 And that's why I'm not gonna even let you touch him.
06:31 Excuse me, mister.
06:33 Now, I know this is none of my business,
06:36 but...
06:37 That's right. It isn't.
06:39 And if anything goes wrong with Carrie,
06:42 it'll be because you didn't bring him to me in the first place.
06:45 Well, nothing better go wrong, mister,
06:48 because if it does, I'll kill you, so help me God.
06:52 What's he got against you anyhow?
07:01 Oh, it's not me, personally.
07:03 Tom's father had a disease that nobody knew much about,
07:07 except that it was killing him.
07:09 The doctor thought that an operation might help.
07:12 Would have, too, but Jake was too weak to stand it, and he died.
07:16 Well, uh, who's this woman they're talking about, this, uh...
07:20 Maggie, you said?
07:22 Maggie Blake. They call her the healing woman.
07:25 Sort of a female medicine man, you might say.
07:28 Oh, I suppose she's a competent enough midwife,
07:31 got sense enough to put kids to bed when they're running a fever.
07:35 The Indian charms and amulets are mostly for effect, I guess,
07:38 make people think they're getting their money's worth.
07:41 Tom isn't her only patient, you know.
07:43 Before Boulder Creek had a doctor, everybody went to her.
07:46 Some folks still do.
07:48 Tell me something.
07:50 If she had to, could she operate on a boy?
07:54 Mr Randall, she couldn't take a bullet out of a cake of soap.
07:58 In his present condition,
08:01 Carrie can't possibly live more than a couple of days.
08:04 In other words, you're telling me there's nothing you can do.
08:07 Not now.

09:15 [knocking on door]
09:20 Yes, what is it?
09:33 Excuse me, Summer?
09:37 Yes?
09:39 You shouldn't have come here, Mr Randall.
09:42 My husband's upset with what you did.
09:44 Well, I'd like to have a little talk, if you got the time.
09:48 Tom isn't here. He's out getting medicine for the boy.
09:51 I know. I passed him up in the woods. He was trying to catch some frogs.
09:54 That the kind of medicine you mean?
09:56 You got no call to talk that way.
09:59 Tom's doing what he thinks is best for the boy.
10:02 I didn't say he was. I just said he was trying to catch some frogs.
10:05 Look, ma'am, I've been sitting out there waiting for your husband to leave
10:08 because I want to talk to you.
10:10 Why?
10:12 You hate to see a nice boy like that die
10:14 because his parents are too stubborn to try and help him.
10:16 You think that old witch is gonna cure a stomach full of poison
10:19 with a couple of dead frogs?
10:21 Now, you listen to me, Miss Summers.
10:23 That boy's got acute appendicitis.
10:25 Please, stop.
10:27 You believe in all that nonsense?
10:29 All right, I'll ride out of here right now.
10:32 Otherwise, you haven't got much time.
10:37 Give the doctor your permission to operate.
10:39 That's the only thing that's gonna help him, is just an operation.
10:41 You're a liar!
10:43 Get up.
10:46 Now, you get out of here, Randall.
10:56 If I ever see you again, I'll kill you.
10:59 You're killing your son, mister.
11:06 Isn't that enough?
11:08 Bye, man.
11:14 If you ever do that again, I'll tear your head off.
11:25 ( dramatic theme playing )
11:28 Tom?
11:47 Does Carrie have appendicitis?
11:50 No.
11:53 Dr. Langland said that--
11:55 Dr. Langland don't know what he's talking about.
11:57 All them fancy words, appendicitis.
12:00 Mag says there ain't no such thing.
12:02 Now, what do you think about that?
12:04 What does she say it is?
12:06 Well, she-- she thinks it might be a curse.
12:10 Where are you going?
12:14 To see my boy.
12:16 Mag says a spell won't work if anybody's there.
12:22 Now, don't you look at me that way, you hear?
12:24 He's my boy, too.
12:26 Tom, he needs us.
12:29 Don't you think I want to see him?
12:31 How do you think I feel, waiting?
12:33 Wondering if my only son's gonna die.
12:36 It's the hardest thing I ever had to do.
12:38 You don't have to do it.
12:40 Yes, I do. And I will if it'll help Carrie.
12:43 And so will you, Amanda.
12:45 How do you know it'll do any good?
12:48 I don't.
12:50 I only know the healing woman's helped us before.
12:52 Oh, not in anything like this.
12:54 Tom, this isn't just a plain bellyache.
12:57 The doctor says--
12:58 Don't you ever mention that word again.
13:00 Only time I ever went to a doctor,
13:02 I lost somebody I loved.
13:04 We stay here.
13:06 When there's news, Mag'll bring it.
13:09 [dramatic music]
13:12 You want another drink?
13:29 No, one's my limit.
13:31 When you're the only doctor in the town,
13:33 you've got to stay sober.
13:35 I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
13:37 I'm sorry, too, because I'd like very much
13:39 to get drunk tonight.
13:42 Is he still alive?
13:44 The boy?
13:46 If he is, he's going through hell.
13:48 Yeah.
13:50 Doc?
13:52 Hmm?
13:53 I've got an idea.
13:55 You better forget it.
13:56 Why?
13:57 Tom would kill both of us.
13:59 I'm not gonna stand here and drink myself to death over it.
14:02 What makes you so sure?
14:05 I'd be grateful, wouldn't he?
14:07 What if the operation were to fail?
14:09 You scared?
14:15 Killing a boy?
14:17 Yes, I'm scared.
14:20 And that's not all.
14:22 It's against the law.
14:24 Legally and morally, no doctor can force anyone
14:26 into an operation.
14:28 What, if it's a question of the boy dying?
14:31 Even if it's a question of a boy dying.
14:34 Oh.
14:36 I recommend that a glass of whiskey be taken internally
14:38 every ten minutes.
14:39 Good night.
14:40 Good night, Doc.
14:42 Uh, Miss Summers, is this a surprise?
14:50 Mr. Randall has told me that my boy has appendicitis.
14:54 Is that the truth?
14:56 Yes.
14:57 How serious is it?
14:59 As serious as it can get.
15:01 And an operation would save him?
15:04 Would have yesterday.
15:05 Now it may be too late.
15:07 You're not sure of that?
15:08 No, I'm not.
15:09 That's true.
15:11 But I can't guarantee anything.
15:13 You have my permission to operate.
15:23 How about Tom?
15:26 He doesn't know I'm here.
15:28 I thought.
15:29 Amanda, you sure you want to go through with this?
15:31 Dr. Langland, I love my husband.
15:34 He's good and he's kind.
15:37 And Kerry means the world to him.
15:39 But I think he's wrong now.
15:42 And even if it means he never forgives me,
15:45 even if it turns out that...
15:47 It's something I have to do.
15:51 Well, let's get on it.
15:52 You want to come with us?
15:53 Yes.

16:47 Who is it?
16:48 Open up.
16:50 Go away.
16:51 The spells must not be broken.
16:53 Doctor.
16:54 Get out of here.
17:00 What are you doing?
17:01 Don't touch that boy.
17:02 Won't you be quiet, ma'am?
17:04 Who are you to tell me to be quiet?
17:06 What do you mean, breaking in and interrupting me like this?
17:10 They have my permission.
17:12 What?
17:13 Keep that woman quiet.
17:14 Well, I won't have it.
17:16 Mr. Summers turned the boy over to me.
17:18 He's mine.
17:19 You hear?
17:20 He's mine.
17:21 Listen, ma'am.
17:22 You don't be quiet.
17:23 I'm going to put you on out of here.
17:24 You understand that?
17:25 Your husband know about this.
17:27 It's none of your business.
17:29 Well, I'm leaving here.
17:31 I don't like the smell of butchers.
17:34 [music playing]
17:37 Mr. Summers.
17:57 How is he, Doc?
18:03 Well, Miss Summers, there's no use lying to you.
18:06 Cary's in very serious condition.
18:08 That ride over here--
18:11 I don't know how much good we can do with this.
18:14 Is there a chance?
18:16 Maybe.
18:17 Do what you can.
18:25 I need help.
18:29 You got it.
18:31 What can I do?
18:32 You?
18:33 Yes.
18:34 This isn't going to be very pleasant, Miss Summers.
18:35 What do you want me to do?
18:37 I'll need plenty of boiling water.
18:39 The boy will die now.
18:49 Shut up.
18:50 They're killing him with knives.
18:51 He'll die.
18:52 He'd better not.

20:29 Cary, take it easy, Summers.
20:35 Tom, what are you going to do?
20:36 What do you think I'm going to do?
20:38 Listen to me.
20:39 I gave them permission.
20:40 There, you wouldn't believe me.
20:41 You--
20:42 Langland, take your hands off my boy.
20:47 Tom, in heaven's name, I can't stop now.
20:49 You can and you will.
20:51 [grunting]
20:53 [grunting]
21:03 [grunting]
21:06 You move an inch without me telling you to, mister,
21:22 and I'll empty this thing into your legs.
21:23 You understand?
21:24 You stay right here until the doctor's through.
21:30 [music playing]
21:33 Well, it's all over.
21:54 I wish I could tell you that everything's all right.
21:57 I can't.
21:59 By moving him here, you robbed him of a lot of strength.
22:02 He needed immediate care.
22:03 But I think he's going to make it.
22:11 If your wife hadn't given us permission when she did,
22:14 Cary would be dead right now.
22:17 Well, he might thank them.
22:19 They're the ones that saved your boy, mister.
22:21 He was scared.
22:22 Of what?
22:24 Doctors are men.
22:25 They're not magicians.
22:26 They make mistakes.
22:28 [crickets chirping]
22:31 But they're learning.
22:35 Isn't that right, doctor?
22:38 Yeah.
22:39 We're learning.
22:40 [music playing]
22:46 [music playing]
22:49 Mr. Randall?
23:14 I can't tell you how sorry I am.
23:17 Forget it?
23:19 I'll never forget it, Mr. Randall.
23:21 Never.
23:22 Hey, C.
23:37 Um, you wouldn't happen to have a nice little charm
23:40 for Black Eye, would you?
23:41 [music playing]
23:44 Thanks anyway.
