WELL, THERE'S YOUR RECEIPT AND 25 CENTS CHANGE.

THANK YOU KINDLY.

WELL, MY CORNMEAL IS HERE TO SELL.

I KNOW.

YOU COULD MAKE A LOT MORE ON IT, THOUGH, IF YOU WANTED TO.

THERE'S NOT A POOR FAMILY IN THESE PARTS THAT'S NOT IN YOUR DEBT.

WE COULD NEVER AFFORD HANSON'S PRICES.

WELL, NOW, DON'T BLAME HANSON.

I WAS JUST LUCKY AND MADE A GOOD DEAL ON THIS CORNMEAL.

IT'S NO MORE THAN RIGHT FOLKS SHOULD BENEFIT.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

THANKS AGAIN. YOU'LL BE IN MY FAMILY'S PRAYERS.

GOOD-BYE.

GOOD-BYE.

DID YOU SEE THAT?

WHAT'S THAT?

BOULTON JUST WENT UP THE STREET WITH A LOAD OF CORNMEAL.

THE LAST 3 DAYS, EVERYBODY'S BEEN GOING UP THE STREET

WITH A LOAD OF CORNMEAL.

I DON'T KNOW HOW PETERSON DOES IT.

GOING TO HAVE TO LOWER YOUR PRICES.

WELL, CHARLES KNOWS I CAN'T DO THAT.

I'M JUST BREAKING EVEN NOW.

THAT'S THE TRUTH.

WELL, I JUST HAVE TO HOPE THAT HE RUNS OUT.

WILL YOU HAVE THAT ORDER READY TODAY?

Charles: RIGHT AFTER LUNCH.

GOOD.

I SURE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE HE GOT CORNMEAL AT THAT PRICE.

CORNMEAL THING SURE BOTHERING HIM, ISN'T IT?

I CAN'T BLAME HIM.

HE'S GOT A LOT OF FLOUR TO SELL, INCLUDING SOME OF MINE.

WELL, I HATE TO SAY IT.

FRIEND OR NO,

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GET ME A COUPLE OF SACKS OVER AT PETERSON'S.

YEAH, I DON'T BLAME YOU.

IT'S ALL GOOD WHEN THE BREAD COMES OUT OF THE OVEN.

LET'S GET BACK TO WORK.

SUPPER'S READY!

GOTCHA!

I LET YOU CATCH ME!

YEAH? WELL, YOU'RE GETTING TOO FAST FOR ME, YOU LITTLE PUMPKIN.

MMM! THAT SMELLS GOOD.

TWO LOAVES FOR ONE SUPPER?

TWO LOAVES, PAUL.

AND NOT BECAUSE IT'S A SPECIAL DAY, EITHER.

WE CAN HAVE TWO LOAVES WHENEVER WE WANT,

AIN'T THAT RIGHT, SYLVIE?

THANKS TO MR. PETERSON.

WELL, COME ON. SIT DOWN.

LT'LL GET COLD.

WE THANK YOU, O LORD, FOR BLESSING US THIS DAY

WITH THE FOOD WHICH WE ARE ABOUT TO EAT,

AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING MR. PETERSON TO OUR TOWN.

BLESS HIM AND KEEP HIM FROM HARM.

AMEN.

- AMEN. - AMEN.

YOU SURE YOU WON'T HAVE SOME MORE?

I COULDN'T EAT ANOTHER BITE.

HALF-PINT, I WANT YOU TO FINISH THAT MEAT.

BUT IT HURTS WHEN I CHEW.

WHAT HURTS?

MY TOOTH IN THE WAY BACK.

OPEN UP. LET ME SEE.

WIDE. WIDE. LET ME SEE.

WHICH ONE?

THIS ONE HERE?

UH-HUH.

IT'S NOT LOOSE.

BUT IT HURTS.

WELL, IT COULD BE A BAD TOOTH.

I'LL TAKE YOU IN TO SEE DOC BAKER TOMORROW.

MEANTIME, JUST DRINK YOUR MILK.

LAURA, THAT'S WHAT COMES OF SNITCHING SUGAR OUT OF THE CUPBOARD.

SWEETS ARE THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD FOR YOUR TEETH.

CAN DY'S SWEET, ISN'T IT?

YES, AND VERY MUCH OF IT IS VERY BAD FOR YOUR TEETH.

WELL, NELLIE AND WILLIE EAT CANDY ALL THE TIME--

EVEN FOR LUNCH SOMETIMES--

AND THEIR TEETH ARE FINE.

I KNOW WILLIE'S ARE. HE BIT ME ONCE.

Charles: HE BIT YOU?

UH-HUH.

WELL, IF HE DOES IT AGAIN, I WANT YOU TO CUFF HIM GOOD.

CHARLES.

I DON'T LIKE THAT.

I'LL NOT HAVE ANY BITING. HE NEEDS A LESSON.

YOUR FATHER'S RIGHT.

IF HE BITES YOU AGAIN, CUFF HIM GOOD.

I ALREADY DID!

I'M THROUGH.

AND AS FOR YOUR TEETH AND EATING CANDY, YOU WAIT AND SEE.

NELLIE AND WILLIE ARE GOING TO HAVE BAD ONES IN A FEW YEARS.

YOU CAN FETCH SOME WATER FOR THE DISHES.

YES, PA.

I TOLD NELLIE HER TEETH WOULD FALL OUT.

SHE DIDN'T CARE.

SHE'D JUST BUY TEETH LIKE HER MOTHER HAS.

I DIDN'T KNOW MRS. OLESON HAD STORE-BOUGHTEN TEETH.

WELL, HOW COULD YOU TELL? SHE NEVER SMILES.

AHHH.

AHHH.

MM. GOOD.

MM-HMM.

GOING TO HAVE TO PULL IT?

WELL, THAT ALL DEPENDS.

IT'S A FIRST TOOTH, SO lT'LL FALL OUT EVENTUALLY,

BUT IF IT HURTS REAL BAD, IT MIGHT BE INFECTED.

SO IT SHOULD COME OUT.

I CAN HARDLY FEEL IT.

LAURA?

I GUESS YOU BETTER PULL IT.

WHATEVER YOU SAY.

BUT I'M SCARED.

SO AM I.

I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY PATIENTS ARE GOING TO BITE ONE OF MY FINGERS OFF.

[KNOCK KNOCK]

DOCTOR?

Dr. Baker: BACK HERE!

Charles: BOULTON.

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.

NONSENSE. I'M ONLY IN THE MIDDLE OF MAJOR SURGERY.

WHAT IS IT?

IT'S ABOUT MY BOY. HE'S DOWN WITH A FEVER.

HE'S HAD IT A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW.

WELL, CAN'T YOU BRING HIM IN?

WELL, I WAS HOPING YOU COULD COME OUT.

HE'S SO WEAK FROM THE FEVER,

I HATE TO BUNDLE HIM UP AND TAKE HIM.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, BOULTON. I'LL BE OUT THIS AFTERNOON, HMM?

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

I'LL SEE YOU THEN.

Charles: HOPE HE'S FEELING BETTER.

THANK YOU.

WELL, DON'T LOOK SO SAD.

YOU CAN PUT YOUR TOOTH UNDER YOUR PILLOW TONIGHT,

AND THE TOOTH FAIRY MIGHT JUST LEAVE YOU A PENNY.

NOW WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THAT?

I'D JUST AS SOON NOT HAVE A PENNY.

[KNOCK KNOCK]

OH, THANK YOU, DOCTOR, FOR COMING OUT.

HE'S IN THE BACK HERE.

WELL, PAUL, YOU REALLY MUST BE FEELING BAD, STAYING IN BED ON SATURDAY.

YES, SIR.

HE'S REALLY BURNING UP, DOCTOR.

LET ME TAKE A LOOK.

HOW LONG HAS HE HAD THE FEVER?

4 OR 5 DAYS.

WASN'T BAD AT FIRST. I THOUGHT lT'D PASS.

HOW DO YOU FEEL, PAUL?

NOT SO GOOD.

YEAH, WELL, I KNOW THAT.

I MEAN YOU GOT ANY ACHES OR PAINS?

I FEEL KIND OF SORE.

WHERE?

ALL OVER, KIND OF, AND MY HEAD HURTS.

NOW PUT THIS UNDER YOUR TONGUE

AND PURSE YOUR LIPS AROUND IT LIKE YOU WAS SIPPING CIDER.

HOW HIGH IS MY TEMPERATURE?

OH, DOCTORS NEVER GIVE OUT INFORMATION.

WHY NOT?

WELL, BECAUSE IF THEY DID,

THE PATIENTS WOULD END UP KNOWING EVERYTHING,

AND WE'D BE OUT OF A JOB.

ERIC, UH, I WANT YOU TO GO INTO TOWN, PICK UP SOME ICE.

I WANT TO GET THE BOY'S FEVER DOWN.

WHAT IS IT, DOCTOR?

I CAN'T BE SURE...YET.

HE'S GOT A PRETTY GOOD FEVER GOING,

BUT I'VE SEEN FEVERS LIKE THIS COME AND GO LIKE NOTHING,

SO THERE'S NO USE WORRYING.

NOW GO GET THAT ICE.

SYLVIE, I WANT YOU TO GET SOME RAGS.

I WANT TO TRY TO COOL HIM WITH SOME ALCOHOL.

DOCTOR...

DOCTOR...

DID IT HURT BAD WHEN HE PULLED OUT YOUR TOOTH?

UH-HUH.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE YOUR HAND IN YOUR MOUTH FOR?

MMM CMMMMTNG.

YOU'RE WHAT?

I'M COUNTING.

WHAT ARE YOU COUNTING?

TEETH. I HAVE 25 TEETH.

WHY DO YOU CARE HOW MANY TEETH YOU HAVE?

WELL, THEY CALL COME OUT, I'D HAVE 25 CENTS.

COUNTING THE ONE UNDER MY PILLOW,

I'D HAVE 26 CENTS.

THEN I COULD BUY ALL THE CANDY IN OELSON'S MERCANTILE.

WHAT GOOD WOULD IT DO YOU?

YOU COULDN'T CHEW IT WITHOUT TEETH!

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE RIGHT.

NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

YOU EVER SEE SO MUCH ICE IN YOUR LIFE, HUH?

WELL, YOU CAN--

YOU CAN MAKE BELIEVE YOU'RE AN ESKIMO UP NORTH

AND THINK ABOUT POLAR BEARS

AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE, JUST FINE.

THERE WE GO.

YOU GOT YOUR OWN LITTLE IGLOO NOW.

Boulton: DOCTOR!

I'LL BE WITH THE BOY.

THAT CONCLUDES THE SERVICE FOR THIS SUNDAY,

BUT BEFORE YOU GO, I'D LIKE TO ADD ONE THOUGHT.

LET'S TRY TO HOLD ON TO THAT FEELING OF LOVE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK,

NOT JUST ON SUNDAY.

Dr. Baker: REVEREND?

I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT LIKE THIS, REVEREND.

I'VE JUST COME FROM THE BOULTON PLACE.

SYLVIE BOULTON DIED EARLY THIS MORNING.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS YET.

THE BOY'S SICK WITH IT, TOO.

BUT UNTIL I KNOW FOR SURE,

I WANT EVERYONE TO STAY AT THEIR OWN PLACE.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS, DOCTOR?

I'M NOT POSITIVE,

BUT I THINK IT'S TYPHUS.

OH, NO.

I WISH I COULD GO HUNTING, PA.

WELL, JUST 'CAUSE THERE'S NO REGULAR SCHOOL,

THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S TIME TO STOP LEARNING, YOU KNOW.

I KNOW.

GOD WILLING, IT WON'T BE FOR TOO LONG.

HOW DO YOU GET TYPHUS, PA?

YOU GET IT FROM FLEAS.

JACK HAS FLEAS SOMETIMES.

NO, IT'S NOT THAT KIND.

THESE FLEAS COME FROM RATS, HALF-PINT.

CAROLINE, I'M OFF.

Caroline: I'LL WALK YOU OUT.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD LUCK.

BYE, PA.

BYE-BYE.

[WIND GUSTING]

THAT WIND'S COMING UP.

YEAH.

I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING IN FRONT OF CARRIE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

WELL, I WAS READING HER A STORY LAST NIGHT,

AND, UH, IT WAS ABOUT A RABBIT,

AND, UM...WELL, SHE STARTED TO CRY,

AND SHE SAID THAT SHE LOVES RABBITS

AND SHE DOESN'T THINK WE OUGHT TO EAT THEM.

HA HA HA!

ALL RIGHT. IF THAT'S ALL I CAN GET, I'LL KEEP IT A SECRET.

I LOVE YOU.

BETTER GET INSIDE. IT'S GETTING COLD.

WHOA.

WHOA!

CARL?

CARL?

CHARLES...

DR. BAKER.

MY WIFE.

Dr. Baker: INGALLS?

HELLO, DOCTOR.

MRS. INGALLS.

HOW'S THE BOULTON BOY?

WELL, HE'S HOLDING HIS OWN.

I'VE BEEN GOING FROM FARM TO FARM CHECKING.

SO FAR, SO GOOD.

EVERYONE HERE IS FINE.

CHARLES IS JUST OUT HUNTING.

WELL, GIVE HIM MY BEST.

I'LL DROP BY IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

DOCTOR?

I CAME ACROSS THEM WHILE I WAS HUNTING.

PRETTY BAD.

[WOMAN MOANING]

CARL?

DOC.

MY WIFE.

SHE'S GOING TO BE FINE.

JUST FINE.

I DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE HER.

AND THEN WHEN...

WHEN I GOT SICK, I GOT AFRAID.

I WAS AFRAID NOBODY WOULD FIND US.

YOU DID RIGHT, CARL.

YOU DID RIGHT.

[LABORED BREATHING]

I'VE BEEN CHECKING AS MANY FARMS AS I COULD.

BUT THE AREA IS JUST TOO LARGE, AND IT...

OH. A RASH.

THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT NOW.

IT'S TYPHUS.

THERE'LL BE MORE NOW.

THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL HOW MANY.

I'LL NEED YOUR HELP, INGALLS.

ANYTHING.

WE'LL MAKE THE CHURCH INTO A HOSPITAL.

WE'LL NEED AS MANY SHEETS AND BLANKETS AS OELSON'S GOT

AND A KEY TO THE ICEHOUSE.

DO YOU KNOW WHO THE REVEREND'S STAYING WITH?

YEAH. I THINK HE'S OUT AT AMY HEARN'S.

WELL, YOU MIGHT DROP OUT THERE

AND TELL HIM WE'LL BE USING THE CHURCH.

RIGHT.

INGALLS...

YOU'LL WANT TO TELL YOUR WIFE WHERE YOU'LL BE.

DON'T GO NEAR HER OR THE GIRLS.

YOU'RE EXPOSED NOW, SAME AS ME.

I'M SORRY.

WHEN YOU GET BACK,

WE'LL MOVE THE HARPERS.

YEAH.

OLESON!

OLESON!

I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN, INGALLS!

NO, NO. STAY THERE.

IT'S TYPHUS, NELS.

I'VE BEEN EXPOSED TO IT.

DOC NEEDS SHEETS AND BLANKETS.

HE'S GONNA MAKE A HOSPITAL OUT OF THE CHURCH.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO ANYTHING I'VE GOT IN THE STOREROOM.

I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO YOUR PLACE.

TAKE EVERYTHING YOU CAN OVER TO THE CHURCH

AND JUST LEAVE IT THERE.

I'LL DO IT RIGHT AWAY.

THANK YOU.

WHAT'D YOU GET, PA?

STAY THERE!

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

YOUR MA IN THE HOUSE?

YEAH.

GO INSIDE AND GET HER.

OK, PA.

CHARLES, WHAT'S WRONG?

THE HARPERS ARE SICK.

CAME ACROSS THEM NEAR WILLOW LAKE.

I TOOK THEM IN TO THE DOC.

THEY'VE GOT TYPHUS.

OH, MY GOD, NO.

I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME HOME FOR A WHILE.

CAN'T TAKE A CHANCE.

I'LL STAY IN TOWN AND HELP THE DOC.

YOU GIRLS MIND YOUR MA.

YES, PA.

KEEP UP WITH YOUR STUDIES.

Laura: WE WILL, PA.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

GIRLS, BRING IN SOME WOOD.

YES, MA.

[DOOR OPENS]

REVEREND, WHAT--

I TOLD HIM NOT TO COME.

HE WOULDN'T LISTEN.

IT'S A FOOL THING TO DO.

THEN I'M IN GOOD COMPANY, DOCTOR.

WE'LL GET THE HARPERS OVER TO THE CHURCH.

REVEREND, WOULD YOU GET THAT SHADE, PLEASE?

Charles: EASY.

INGALLS?

I'D LIKE YOU TO TAKE THE WAGON.

GO OUT TO THE BOULTON PLACE.

BRING THE BOULTON BOY BACK HERE.

AND YOU MIGHT START MAKING THE ROUNDS OF THE FARMS.

LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THE HOSPITAL.

RIGHT.

REVEREND, WE'LL NEED SOME LARGE KETTLES

TO BOIL THE SHEETS AND BLANKETS.

OLESON WILL HAVE THEM,

BUT TELL HIM TO LEAVE THEM OUTSIDE THE CHURCH.

ALL RIGHT.

REVEREND?

ASK OLESON TO, UH, BRING SOME SHOVELS.

WE'LL HAVE TO BURY THE DEAD RIGHT AWAY.

ERIC?

ERIC?

GOOD DAY TO YOU, INGALLS.

TOO NICE A DAY TO SPEND INSIDE A SCHOOLHOUSE.

I DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART TO SEND THIS LITTLE PUMPKIN...

TO SCHOOL ON A DAY LIKE THIS.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A BOY...

DAYS LIKE THIS...

WERE FOR FISHING.

OR SLEEPING,

BREATHING GOD'S CLEAN AIR.

WELL, I SURELY DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL ON DAYS LIKE THIS.

DID YOU?

NO, I GUESS I DIDN'T.

IF YOU SEE MISS BEADLE...

TELL HER MY SON AND I ARE SPENDING THE DAY TOGETHER.

YOU'LL TELL HER THAT?

ERIC...

DON'T!

PAUL...

P-PAUL IS SLEEPING.

DAYS LIKE THIS WERE MADE FOR SLEEPING.

AND YOU TELL MISS BEADLE MY SON...

MY SON WON'T BE IN SCHOOL TODAY.

I'LL TELL HER.

EDWARDS!

HEY, INGALLS. HEY, COME ON IN.

I'M MAKING SOME FINE STEW AND CORN DODGERS.

STAY WHERE YOU ARE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I'VE BEEN WITH THE TYPHUS.

AND THE MISSIS? LITTLE ONES?

NO, THEY'RE FINE.

I'M STAYING IN TOWN WITH THE DOC,

GMNG HIM A HAND TILL IT'S OVER.

I'LL COME ALONG. GIVE YOU A HAND.

WE DON'T NEED ANY HELP.

LOOK, I'M TOO ORNERY TO GET SICK. YOU KNOW THAT.

I KNOW. I'D JUST FEEL A LOT SAFER

IF I KNEW MY BEST FRIEND WAS AROUND TO LEND A HAND...

JUST IN CASE.

MAN, AIN'T NOTHIN' GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU.

JUST IN CASE.

ALL RIGHT. I UNDERSTAND.

I BETTER BE GOING. I GOT A LOT OF STOPS TO MAKE.

I WISH YOU'D STAY AND HAVE SOME STEW.

I'LL MAKE THEM CORN DODGERS AS BIG AS CANNONBALLS.

JUST AS HEAVY, TOO, I BET.

[CHUCKLES]

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

IT'S TOM CARTER.

MAKES 11.

CHARLES, YOU'VE BEEN AT IT 3 DAYS WITHOUT SLEEP.

GET SOME REST.

I'LL BE ALL RIGHT, REVEREND.

I'LL TAKE HIM.

ELEVEN.

WHEN'S IT GOING TO STOP?

THERE'S NO WAY OF TELLING.

I THOUGHT BY KEEPING EVERYONE APART, WE'D HAVE A CHANCE,

BUT...

I JUST DON'T KNOW.

WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THERE FROM ALL OVER.

FAMILY FROM HERE, A FAMILY FROM THERE,

AND IT'S SPREADING. I DON'T KNOW WHY.

IF WE COULD ONLY FIND THE SOURCE.

THE SOURCE.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, INGALLS?

YEAH.

COME ON. I'LL GIVE YOU A HAND.

Laura: A WEEK WENT BY.

PA CAME TO SEE US EVERY FEW DAYS.

HE LOOKED TIRED, AND WE KNEW MA WAS WORRIED.

BUT SHE ALWAYS SMILED AND PRETENDED THAT SHE WASN'T.

EAT YOUR SUPPER, LAURA.

YES, MA'AM.

YOU, TOO, MARY.

I CAN'T.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T?

PA SAID HE'D BE BY TODAY.

WHY DIDN'T HE COME?

YOUR FATHER WILL COME WHEN HE CAN, MARY.

BUT HE SAID HE'D COME.

Charles: CAROLINE?

YOU EATING SUPPER?

YES. WE WERE JUST ABOUT FINISHED.

YOU WANT SOMETHING?

YEAH, I'D LIKE A LITTLE SALT-RISING BREAD.

I'LL GET IT, PA.

WHEN CAN YOU COME HOME, PA?

REAL SOON, MARY.

REAL SOON.

IT'S STILL HOT, PA.

YOU GIRLS GET INSIDE AND FINISH YOUR SUPPER.

I DON'T WANT YOU ALL SKINNY WHEN I GET HOME.

Laura and Mary: YES, PA.

YOU LOOK SO TIRED.

I AM.

I BURIED ANOTHER ONE TODAY.

IT WAS NOBODY WE KNEW.

JUST A LITTLE OLD MAN LMNG BY HIMSELF.

DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIS NAME.

I COULDN'T PUT IT ON THE CROSS.

YOU MUST HAVE FAITH.

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

YOU KNOW, STANDING OUT HERE LIKE THIS,

I FEEL LIKE I'M COURTING YOU AGAIN.

HA HA HA!

IF YOU WERE, MY MA AND PA WOULD BE STANDING IN THE DOORWAY.

YOUR PA DID KEEP AN EYE ON ME, DIDN'T HE?

HA HA HA!

I SURE WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOUR FOLKS AGAIN SOMEDAY.

I GOT TO GO.

SEE YOU DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

ANY MORE TODAY?

3. I'M GETTING MORE ICE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO HOLD THE FEVER DOWN

WHEN THE ICE IS GONE.

I'LL GET IT FOR YOU.

THERE YOU GO, DOC.

THANK YOU, INGALLS.

I'LL GO GET YOU SOME MORE.

HE RODE IN THIS AFTERNOON.

[WIND GUSTING]

Charles: DOC?

JUST TAKE IT EASY REST EASY.

I'M ALL RIGHT.

I KNOW YOU'RE ALL RIGHT. JUST REST.

IF WE COULD ONLY FIND THE SOURCE.

HOW YOU GONNA FIND IT?

IT'S COMING FROM EVERYWHERE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

THEY LIVE SO FAR APART.

THERE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY CONTACT.

WE DON'T FIND THE SOURCE,

BE NO WAY TO STOP IT, NO WAY.

IF YOU WANT, I'LL TAKE THE ICE.

I CAN MAKE IT.

I KNOW YOU CAN MAKE IT.

I'LL STILL GET THE ICE.

THANK YOU.

Reverend: DOCTOR?

Girl: MR. INGALLS?

LESLIE?

MY MA AND PA ALL RIGHT?

THEY'RE FINE.

I WAS OUT TO SEE THEM THIS MORNING.

THEY WANTED TO SEND YOU A WHOLE MESS OF CORNBREAD,

BUT I TOLD THEM IT WOULD BE A LITTLE WHILE

BEFORE YOU GOT YOUR APPETITE BACK.

"FEED A COLD, STARVE A FEVER," MA SAYS.

YOUR MA'S RIGHT.

I WONDER IF I'M GOING TO DIE.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE JUST FINE.

I'M NOT SCARED.

I KNOW I'LL GO TO HEAVEN,

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DIE IN CHURCH.

NO MORE TALK OF DYING, ALL RIGHT?

YOU JUST GET SOME SLEEP.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, NURSE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WELL, YOUR FEVER'S DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

IT OUGHT TO BE. YOU NEAR FROZE ME SOLID.

HALF-PINT AND THE OTHERS-- THEY STILL ALL RIGHT?

THEY'RE FINE.

GOOD.

HOW YOU FEELING?

WELL, YOU CAN'T KILL A GRIZZLY BEAR.

IF THOSE CORN DODGERS OF YOURS DON'T KILL YOU,

I GUESS NOTHING WILL.

YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT 'CAUSE I USED PETERSON'S CORNMEAL

INSTEAD OF YOUR FLOUR.

PROBABLY.

YOU BOUGHT THAT CORNMEAL AT PETERSON'S?

YEAH.

TWO SACKS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE.

GET SOME REST, HUH?

DOC? I THINK I GOT IT.

WHAT?

PETERSON'S. THE CORNMEAL AT PETERSON'S.

EDWARDS BOUGHT SOME. I KNOW LESLIE'S PARENTS HAD SOME,

AND I SAW A SACK OF IT AT BOULTON'S.

IT'S LOCKED!

PETERSON!

[BANGING ON DOOR]

PETERSON!

PETERSON.

THE KEYS TO THE SHED.

THE KEYS!

I GOT THEM.

ALL THIS TIME, IT'S A HUNDRED YARDS AWAY.

WE'LL GET PETERSON TO THE CHURCH,

BURN THIS PLACE TO THE GROUND.

Laura, voice-over: IT WAS OVER, PA SAID.

HE WOULD STAY IN TOWN AND HELP DR. BAKER UNTIL THE DANGER PASSED.

WE COUNTED THE DAYS TILL HE WOULD COME HOME.

WELL, REVEREND, THAT CHURCH OF YOURS

WILL SMELL LIKE ROTTEN EGGS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS,

BUT THE SULFUR WILL MAKE IT SAFE.

WELL, WE'LL NOT SOON FORGET THESE LAST WEEKS.

SOMETIMES IT'S DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND

WHY GOD ALLOWS THINGS LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN.

BUT SOMEHOW WHEN IT'S ALL OVER,

INSTEAD OF BEING WEAKENED BY IT,

WE FIND WE'RE MADE STRONGER.

GOD BLESS YOU, GENTLEMEN.

EDWARDS?

ARE YOU SURE YOU BOILED THOSE CLOTHES OUT REAL GOOD?

BOILED THEM? THEY'RE SO CLEAN, THEY'RE DOWNRIGHT UNCOMFORTABLE.

DOC, WHY DON'T YOU GO TO SLEEP FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, HUH?

I JUST MIGHT DO THAT, INGALLS.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

THANK YOU.

CAROLINE'S GOT A SPECIAL SUPPER GOING.

HOW ABOUT JOINING US?

OH, WELL, THANK YOU KINDLY,

BUT YOU KNOW HOMECOMINGS ARE KIND OF JUST FOR FAMILY.

EDWARDS, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO LEARN YOU ARE FAMILY, HUH?

COME ON.
