[GIRLS LAUGHING]

HI, MAMA!

Laura: HI, MRS. TAYLOR.

WELL, NOW!

THE WAY YOU RAN HOME, YOU MUST BE KIND OF ANXIOUS

TO GET TO YOUR CHORES.

I--I AM, MAMA, BUT THE INGALLS GIRLS ARE GOING SWIMMING TODAY,

AND I WONDERED IF--

OH.

IF YOU COULD GO WITH THEM.

Girl: YES'M.

TOMORROW'S SATURDAY. I'LL DO DOUBLE MY WORK. PLEASE.

DID YOU DO WELL IN SCHOOL TODAY?

YES'M.

SHE DID GREAT. EVEN BETTER THAN MARY.

I DID MY BEST.

THAT'S PLENTY.

YOU BE SURE AND BE HOME BEFORE DARK.

OK. THANK YOU, MAMA.

COME ON!

Carrie: DON'T WE EVER WALK ANYWHERE?

HA!

Laura: COME ON.

LET'S CUT ACROSS BUSBY'S PLACE.

Mary: NO. PA SAID NOT TO.

COME ON. I'M NOT SCARED OF BUSBY.

HE'S JUST A LITTLE STRANGE IS ALL.

BESIDES, WE'LL SAVE 10 MINUTES.

PA SAID NO, AND IF YOU DO, I'LL TELL.

YOU WOULD, TOO.

ALL RIGHT.

[GIRLS YELLING AND LAUGHING]

YOU SEE ANYTHING?

NO. CAN YOU?

UH-UH. TOO FAR AWAY.

HEY, ONE OF THEM IS GETTING OUT.

YEAH?

NEVER MIND. IT'S ONLY CARRIE.

COME ON. WE'LL SNEAK DOWN CLOSER.

HEY, WE CAN SEE A LOT BETTER HERE.

BE SURE THEY DON'T SEE YOU.

I WON'T.

SURE WISH THEY'D SWIM OVER THIS WAY.

Carrie: WHAT YOU DOING?

UH, UH, WE'RE JUST FISHING.

WHAT ARE YOU FISHING WITH?

NOTHING YET.

WE WERE JUST LOOKING FOR A NICE LITTLE, WILLOW BRANCH

TO MAKE A FISHING POLE.

LAURA HAS AN EXTRA POLE HANGING AROUND HERE.

SHE'LL LOAN IT TO YOU.

LAURA!

THERE ARE SOME BOYS HERE THAT WANT TO SEE YOU.

AAH! AAH!

THINK THEY'RE STILL THERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, I'D LIKE TO PUNCH THEM.

THERE THEY GO.

COME ON.

LET'S GET OUR STUFF BACK ON IN CASE THEY COME BACK.

HEY, ELLEN. IT'S ALL RIGHT. THEY'RE GONE.

HEY, ELLEN, COME ON! WE'RE GOING TO DRY OFF IN CASE THEY COME BACK.

Mary: ELLEN!

Laura: ELLEN!

ELLEN!

Laura: ELLEN!

MAYBE SHE'S HIDING TO FOOL US.

ELLEN, YOU COME ON OUT!

IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE.

YOU COME OUT RIGHT NOW!

OH, DEAR LORD...

DEAR LORD, SHE'S NOT HIDING.

WE GOT TO GET PA.

Man: OVER HERE!

WE FOUND SOMETHING OVER HERE.

Second man: IT'S THE GIRL.

Reverend: "AND I HEARD A GREAT VOICE OUT OF HEAVEN SAYING,

BEHOLD, THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MAN,

AND HE WILL DWELL WITH THEM,

AND THEY SHALL BE HIS PEOPLE.

GOD HIMSELF SHALL BE WITH THEM, AND BE THEIR GOD.

AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS FROM THEIR EYES.

THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH.

NEITHER SHALL THERE BE ANY MORE PAIN:

FOR THESE FORMER THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY."

WELCOME THIS CHILD, ELLEN TAYLOR,

INTO YOUR HOUSE, O LORD,

AND HELP GIVE STRENGTH TO HER LOVED ONES IN THEIR TIME OF SORROW.

AMEN.

AMEN. AMEN.

NO!

NO, PLEASE!

OH, PLEASE, DON'T PUT HER DOWN THERE!

OH, GOD!

NO! ELLEN!

ELLEN, BABY!

NO, NO!

WE CAN'T LET THEM.

OH, GOD, PLEASE, I BEG YOU.

PLEASE! PLEASE, GOD, MAKE HER COME ALIVE AGAIN.

PLEASE, GOD! OH, GOD!

PLEASE, GOD!

[SOBBING]

YOU DID THIS.

IT WAS YOU.

ELOISE.

WELL, IT WAS.

SHE WAS ALWAYS ASKING MY ELLEN TO GO SWIMMING.

IF IT HADN'T HAVE BEEN FOR YOU,

MY ELLEN WOULD HAVE BEEN HOME WITH ME.

HOME WITH ME!

HOME-- HOME WITH ME!

SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HOME WITH ME.

OH, GOD!

OH, GOD!

[CRYING]

OH, GOD!

COME ON.

COME ON.

SIT DOWN.

I'LL MAKE YOU SOME TEA.

I MARKED SOME PAGES IN THE BIBLE...

SOME PASSAGES I THOUGHT MIGHT BE OF COMFORT TO YOU.

I'LL JUST LEAVE IT OVER HERE ON THE BUREAU.

I'LL STOP BY TOMORROW.

REVEREND?

YES?

I ASKED GOD FOR A MIRACLE TODAY.

I PRAYED BY MY BABY'S GRAVE.

I ASKED HIM TO MAKE HER ALIVE AGAIN.

HE COULD DO THAT. HE'S DONE GREATER THINGS THAN THAT.

ELOISE, IT IS NOT--

DON'T TELL ME IT IS NOT FOR ME TO QUESTION THE WAYS OF GOD.

COVERING MY BABY OUT THERE WITH DIRT...

IT'LL BE SO DARK.

MY ELLEN WAS ALWAYS SO AFRAID OF THE DARK.

GOD DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ME,

AND GOD DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ELLEN.

DON'T YOU COME AROUND HERE ANYMORE, YOU HEAR ME?

NO MORE!

ELOISE!

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

I'LL GO NOW.

AND TAKE YOUR DAMN BOOK WITH YOU!

WHY DON'T YOU GO ON IN THE HOUSE?

YOU KNOW, HALF-PINT...

WHEN PEOPLE ARE MOURNING, THEY SAY A LOT OF THINGS THEY DON'T MEAN.

I KNOW.

IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.

BUT IT WAS MY IDEA TO GO SWIMMING.

HEY.

NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

FOLKS CAN'T FORETELL THE FUTURE.

SOMETIMES THINGS JUST HAPPEN, THAT'S ALL.

THERE'S NOTHING ANYBODY CAN DO ABOUT IT.

THERE'S NOBODY TO BLAME FOR IT.

IT'S JUST THE WAY LIFE IS, THAT'S ALL.

MRS. TAYLOR WILL BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU WAIT AND SEE.

SHE'S GOT TO LEAN ON THE LORD, THAT'S ALL.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AWAKE?

AWHILE.

LISTEN, WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO HEAT YOU SOME SOUP? I--

NO.

NO, BUT YOU SHOULD TRY--

THAT GIRL'S MOTHER MADE THE SOUP, DIDN'T SHE?

MRS. INGALLS JUST THOUGHT THAT YOU--

I KNOW WHAT SHE THOUGHT.

SHE THOUGHT SHE'D COVER UP HER DAUGHTER'S GUILT BY BEING NICE.

ELOISE.

AND DO YOU REMEMBER THIS ONE?

SHE PAINTED THAT

ON MY BIRTHDAY.

SHE LOVED BRIGHT COLORS.

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT'S GROWING ON THESE TREES.

ORANGE AND LAVENDER...

WHY WEREN'T YOU HOME

WHEN SHE CAME FROM SCHOOL?

WHAT?

WHY WEREN'T YOU HOME?

IT WAS STILL EARLY. I WAS WORKING.

IF YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN HOME, SHE WOULDN'T HAVE GONE.

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LET HER.

YES, I WOULD.

OH, NO.

YOU WOULD HAVE SAID, "CHORES FIRST."

I KNOW YOU WOULD.

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE.

SHE WOULD BE ALIVE NOW IF YOU WERE.

GET OUT OF MY BABY'S ROOM!

FIRST YOU BLAME LITTLE LAURA,

NOW ME?

IT WAS YOUR FAULT.

YOU WANT ME TO BELIEVE IT WAS MY FAULT!

IT'S NOBODY'S FAULT!

GET OUT!

JUST GET OUT!

ALL SET TO TRY IT UP HERE!

OH, ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE READY DOWN HERE.

I'LL OPEN HER UP.

UH, HOLD IT UP JUST A SECOND.

HOLD IT UP!

WHOA! WHOA!

HOLD IT UP!

CHARLES!

WHOA!

WHOA, CHARLES!

CHARLES!

LORD HAVE MERCY, CHARLES!

HOLD IT UP, CHARLES!

CHARLES, I'LL GET YOU!

HEY, YOU ALL RIGHT?

LORD! I...

I HAVEN'T BEEN THIS DIZZY SINCE THE SLEEPY EYE JUGGLING CONTEST.

HEY, YOU'RE SURE YOU'RE ALL RIGHT?

I KEPT YELLING AT YOU TO TURN IT OFF.

I COULDN'T HEAR YOU.

YEAH. YEAH.

MAYBE YOU BETTER REST A LITTLE BIT, HUH?

YEAH. I'M GOING TO GO GET ME A SARSAPARILLA AND GET SOME REST.

HA HA HA!

JONATHAN.

EXCUSE ME.

[THUD]

JONATHAN, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

WELL, I WAS TRYING TO GET ME A SARSAPARILLA.

YOUR WIFE'S IN THERE.

OH, WELL, GOOD.

JONATHAN, I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA

FOR HER TO SEE YOU IN THIS CONDITION.

UH, SHE KNOWS I SWEAT A LOT WHEN I'M WORKING.

I WAS REFERRING TO YOUR INTOXICATION.

MY WHAT?

JONATHAN, YOU'RE DRUNK.

OH, NO, NO.

NOW, LOOK, I WAS IN THE WHEEL,

AND WE WAS WORKING,

AND CHARLES PUT THE WATER DOWN,

AND I WAS SPINNING AROUND.

AND I'M AWFUL DIZZY, BUT NO, NO, NO, I--

OH, I SEE.

YEAH. SEE YOU, REVEREND.

JONATHAN?

I HOPE YOU'VE GOT A BETTER STORY THAN THAT FOR YOUR WIFE.

HA!

[THUD]

HEY, ELLEN, YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED.

THAT'LL DO HER.

MUCH OBLIGED, CHARLES.

YOU TAKE CARE.

SEE YOU. HYAH!

MORNING, CHARLES.

HEY, MORNING, REVEREND.

I, UH, WAS OUT AT THE TAYLOR PLACE THIS MORNING.

HOW ARE THEY DOING?

NOT WELL AT ALL.

ELOISE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO ME OR TO CAL.

TO CAL?

AFTER THE FUNERAL YESTERDAY,

SHE BLAMED HIM FOR WHAT HAPPENED.

THERE'S NO RATIONAL REASON, CHARLES.

IT'S JUST--

ELOISE IS VERY NEAR THE EDGE.

THAT'S WHY I CAME TO SEE YOU.

I WONDER--

DO YOU THINK CAROLINE WOULD MIND

GOING OUT AND TALKING TO HER?

SOMETIMES A WOMAN'S UNDERSTANDING CAN DO SO MUCH MORE

THAN A MINISTER SAYING, "BE STRONG."

I'M SURE CAROLINE WOULD BE HAPPY TO GO AND SEE HER.

I'D APPRECIATE IT.

I'LL RIDE HOME RIGHT NOW AND ASK HER.

THANK YOU, CHARLES. SEE YOU SUNDAY.

SEE YOU.

CHARLES!

I'LL BE BACK SOON!

I GOT TO GO HOME FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

CHARLES, IT'S IMPORTANT.

YOU GOT TO GO OVER AND TELL ALICE

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED DOWN THERE WITH THAT WHEEL.

SHE THINKS I'VE BEEN DRINKING.

SHE'S MAD AS A WET HEN.

LISTEN, YOU'D THINK I HAD A DISHONEST FACE OR SOMETHING.

YOU DO!

CAL?

MRS. INGALLS.

THE REVEREND WANTED ME TO STOP BY.

I'M AFRAID YOU'D BE WASTING YOUR TIME, MRS. INGALLS.

SHE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ANY SENSE.

SHE TOLD ME TO GET OUT.

SHE DIDN'T MEAN THAT.

YEAH.

WELL, I'M GOING.

I'M NOT THAT STRONG, MRS. INGALLS.

I'M TIRED.

I GOT TO GET OVER THIS THING, TOO.

I'LL BE OVER AT MY COUSIN CLAY'S IF ELOISE NEEDS ME.

GET UP!

Eloise: I TOLD YOU TO GO AND NOT COME BACK.

ELOISE?

IT'S CAROLINE.

I THOUGHT WE COULD TALK FOR A WHILE.

ELOISE?

GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILY, TO YOUR CHILDREN.

YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE.

Mary: COME ON, CARRIE.

YOU CAN'T WALK THAT SLOW. WE'LL BE LATE.

Laura: CARRIE, WHAT'S THE MATTER?

Carrie: I DON'T WANT TO GO.

WHY?

I DON'T HAVE A PRESENT.

WELL, I'LL TELL MISS BEADLE THIS IS FROM BOTH OF US.

HEY, THAT'S NOT FAIR.

WHY?

BECAUSE NOW YOU TWO ARE GIVING HER A REAL PRESENT,

AND I'M JUST GIVING HER FLOWERS.

OH, ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL SAY IT'S FROM ALL 3 OF US.

THAT'S NOT FAIR.

WHAT'S NOT FAIR NOW, CARRIE?

THAT MEANS THAT LAURA'S GIVING HER TWO PRESENTS.

Mary: SISTERS!

Laura: HEY, I'VE GOT A GOOD IDEA.

SINCE WE'RE GIVING ONE PRESENT TO MISS BEADLE,

I'LL GIVE THESE TO MRS. TAYLOR.

SHE LOVES FLOWERS.

SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYBODY JUST YET.

IF SHE DOESN'T, I'LL LEAVE THEM AT THE DOOR.

I'LL CUT ACROSS BUSBY'S AND CATCH UP.

PA DOESN'T WANT YOU GOING NEAR BUSBY'S.

IT'S QUICKER.

BESIDES, HE DON'T SCARE ME.

IF YOU SEE HIM, YOU RUN.

I WILL!

MRS. TAYLOR?

MRS. TAYLOR?

MRS. TAYLOR?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I BROUGHT YOU SOME FLOWERS.

MY ELLEN ALWAYS BROUGHT ME FLOWERS.

OH!

I'LL PUT THEM IN SOME WATER.

SILLY OF ME, WASN'T IT?

ALWAYS SO USED TO GETTING UP

AND FIXING ELLEN'S LUNCH, I...

WHY DID IT HAPPEN?

WHY?

SHE WAS SUCH A GOOD GIRL.

SHE WAS SUCH A...

I BETTER GO TO SCHOOL.

LAURA.

UH, I WONDER IF YOU COULD DO ME A FAVOR BEFORE YOU GO.

SURE.

WELL, I--

I HAVEN'T BEEN EATING PROPER,

BUT WITH YOUR VISIT AND THE FLOWERS,

I KIND OF GOT MY APPETITE BACK.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO FIX YOU SOMETHING.

NO, I WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL.

I, UH, I'M FEELING KIND OF WEAK,

AND I JUST WONDERED IF YOU'D FETCH SOME APPLES

OUT OF THE ROOT CELLAR.

OH. YES, MA'AM.

THANK YOU.

BE CAREFUL.

THE LADDER'S STEEP.

I'LL BE CAREFUL.

THE APPLES ARE IN THE CORNER BEHIND YOU.

THANKS. I SEE THEM.

MRS. TAYLOR!

PA!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF SCHOOL, YOUNG LADY?

MISS BEADLE LET ME.

PA, LAURA DIDN'T COME TO SCHOOL TODAY.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

SHE WANTED TO BRING FLOWERS OVER TO MRS. TAYLOR.

SHE SAID SHE'D CATCH UP, BUT THAT WAS ALMOST TWO HOURS AGO.

SHE SAID SHE'D CUT ACROSS BUSBY'S PLACE.

SHE KNOWS BETTER THAN THAT.

I TOLD HER NOT TO.

WELL, MAYBE SHE'S JUST OUT THERE VISITING WITH MRS. TAYLOR.

YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.

YOU GO ON TO SCHOOL.

I'LL GO ON OVER TO MRS. TAYLOR'S AND CHECK.

YES, SIR.

LOOK, UH, I'LL GIVE YOU A RIDE OUT IN THE WAGON.

THANKS.

Charles: MRS. TAYLOR?

MR. INGALLS.

MARY SAID LAURA WAS COMING OUT HERE FOR A VISIT.

IS SHE STILL HERE?

SHE HASN'T BEEN BY.

LEASTWISE, THAT I KNOW OF.

I'VE--I'VE BEEN SLEEPING MOST OF THE MORNING.

SHE MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED, BUT I-- I DIDN'T HEAR.

WELL, THANK YOU, MA'AM.

LET'S GET ON OVER TO BUSBY'S.

GET UP!

[WAGON APPROACHING]

BUSBY!

BUSBY!

I'M GOING TO CHECK DOWN BY THE CREEK.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL LOOK AROUND HERE.

HEY, TAKE IT EASY, NOW.

LAURA'S PROBABLY BACK IN SCHOOL NOW ALREADY.

CHARLES!

WHAT IS IT?

I JUST FOUND 'EM LYING THERE.

THEY'RE LAURA'S.

OH, MY GOD.

I'LL LOOK AROUND HERE.

YOU GO INTO TOWN, ROUND UP SOME MEN.

ALL RIGHT.

PUT THIS ON.

PLEASE LET ME GO.

PUT IT ON!

OH, IT'S SO COOL DOWN HERE.

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE ON SUCH A HOT DAY.

I USED TO LOVE THE ROOT CELLAR WHEN I WAS A CHILD.

I'D COME DOWN THE STAIRS WITH MY PILLOW AND SLEEP ON THE FLOOR.

IT WAS ALWAYS SO QUIET...

AND PEACEFUL.

AND I'D DREAM...

WONDERFUL DREAMS.

COME INTO THE LIGHT.

COME.

OH, ELLEN!

MY BEAUTIFUL ELLEN!

MRS. TAYLOR, I--

NO! NO.

SAY..."I LOVE YOU, MAMA."

SAY... "I LOVE YOU, MAMA."

I--I LOVE YOU, MAMA.

OH!

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

PROMISE--PROMISE YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE ME.

I--I PROMISE.

YES.

YES.

OH, BABY.

OH, YES!

ELLEN.

ELLEN.

OH, ELLEN! ELLEN.

YES, ELLEN. YES, ELLEN.

ELLEN, MY BABY.

ELLEN, MY BABY.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S MOVE.

I JUST HEARD. I'D LIKE TO COME WITH YOU.

WE CAN USE YOU, BUT YOU AIN'T GOING TO NEED THAT.

MAYBE, MAYBE NOT.

ALL I KNOW IS, MY DAUGHTER DROWNED.

GOOD SWIMMER, BUT SHE DROWNED.

AND NOW THIS WITH LAURA.

YOU DON'T THINK THAT--

I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'M GOING TO FIND OUT.

Charles: FIND ANYTHING, CARL?

Carl: NOT A THING.

WE AIN'T EVEN FOUND SO MUCH AS A TRAIL.

IT'S GOING TO BE DARK SOON.

WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOME LANTERNS.

CHARLES, WE AIN'T GOING TO FIND NOTHING IN THE DARK.

WE'LL START SEARCHING AGAIN AT FIRST LIGHT IN THE MORNING.

NOW, YOU BETTER GO ON HOME.

CAROLINE WILL BE NEEDING YOU.

YEAH.

CAL, TAKE HIM ON MY WAGON.

I'M GOING TO STAY HERE IN CASE BUSBY COMES BACK.

LET ME STAY.

NO, NOT THE WAY YOU'RE FEELING.

NOW GO ON.

I, UH...

I KNOW HOW YOU'RE FEELING.

AT LEAST YOU GOT HOPE.

MY ELLEN WOULD HAVE BEEN 12 YEARS OLD TOMORROW.

[BELL RINGS]

GOOD MORNING, MRS. OLESON.

WELL, GOOD MORNING, MRS. TAYLOR.

I'M SO--

IS SOMETHING WRONG?

WHY, NO.

LET'S SEE.

UH, I NEED SOME CANDLES.

CERTAINLY.

OH, NO!

NO. BIRTHDAY CANDLES.

12, PLEASE.

WELL--YOU DO HAVE THEM, DON'T YOU?

YES. CERTAINLY.

THIS MUST BE A VERY EXPENSIVE DOLL.

OH, YES, IT IS.

HOW MUCH IS IT?

UH, $4.00.

OH, MY!

NO MATTER. I'LL TAKE IT.

WHAT?

WELL, THEY'RE ONLY LITTLE GIRLS SUCH A SHORT TIME.

IT CAN'T HURT TO SPOIL THEM SOME.

SHE'S SUCH A SWEET CHILD.

SHE BROUGHT ME THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS YESTERDAY.

OH, YOU NEEDN'T WRAP IT.

I'LL DO IT WHEN I GET HOME.

HOW MUCH WILL THAT BE ALL TOGETHER?

UH...UH, $4.24.

HERE WE ARE.

THANK YOU, MRS. OLESON.

HOLD IT.

[WHISPERING] What's the matter? You see something?

NO. I HEARD SOMETHING.

It's just birds rooting.

IT AIN'T WHAT I HEARD.

[RUSTLING]

BUSBY?

IT'S ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN COME OUT NOW.

BUSBY?

BUSBY? BUSBY!

Charles: HOW BAD IS HE?

HE'S BLEEDING BAD.

COME ON.

WE'LL GET HIM TO DOC BAKER.

I GOT HIM PATCHED UP AS BEST I COULD.

HE'LL MAKE IT, BUT HE'S AWFUL WEAK AND SCARED.

BUSBY?

BUSBY?

BUSBY, WHERE'S MY DAUGHTER?

YOU LISTEN TO ME.

NOBODY'S GOING TO HURT YOU.

PLEASE, I JUST WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHERE MY DAUGHTER IS.

MY DAUGHTER, BUSBY.

WOULD YOU TELL ME WHERE SHE IS?

CHARLES!

CHARLES.

BUSBY.

YOU HAD LAURA'S THINGS-- HER BOOKS.

WHERE DID YOU GET THEM, BUSBY?

WHERE DID YOU GET THEM?

I...

I JUST WANTED...

TO LOOK AT...

AT THE PICTURES.

I KNOW, BUT WHERE'S LAURA?

I...

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU GOT TO KNOW.

YOU HAD HER PICTURE BOOK.

I...FOUND...

FOUND IT...

AND THE FLOWERS.

THEY WERE SITTING ON THE GROUND.

YOU GOT TO TELL US THE TRUTH NOW.

AIN'T NOBODY HERE GOING TO HURT YOU.

IT'S THE TRUTH.

I JUST WANTED TO LOOK AT THE PICTURES.

I JUST WANTED...

BUSBY!

BUSBY!

HE'S TOO WEAK.

HE'S LOST TOO MUCH BLOOD.

IF HE DIES, I'LL NEVER FIND MY DAUGHTER.

CHARLES!

CHARLES!

WHY DID YOU SHOOT HIM?

WHY?

I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY.

MR. TAYLOR!

Dr. Baker: NOT NOW, MRS. OLESON!

I'M SORRY, BUT IT'S ABOUT MRS. TAYLOR.

WHAT?

SHE CAME INTO THE STORE THIS MORNING,

AND SHE WAS BUYING PRESENTS FOR A BIRTHDAY FOR ELLEN.

SHE WAS SO STRANGE.

SHE SAID THAT ELLEN BROUGHT HER SOME FLOWERS YESTERDAY.

DEAR GOD.

THERE.

NOW MAKE A WISH BEFORE YOU BLOW THEM OUT.

WELL, GO AHEAD.

IF WE BOTH CLOSE OUR EYES, WE'LL BOTH GET OUR WISH.

OH, BUT IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY.

PLEASE.

I WANT YOU TO HAVE A WISH, TOO...MAMA.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW, LET ME SEE.

ELLEN!

ELLEN!

ELLEN!

ELLEN!

OH!

STOP, ELLEN!

ELLEN, STOP IT!

ELLEN, STOP IT! ELLEN!

I'M NOT ELLEN.

I'M LAURA. PLEASE!

NO!

I'M LAURA.

NO!

I'M NOT ELLEN. I'M LAURA.

NO, NO!

ELLEN'S DEAD!

THAT'S HER GRAVE.

MRS. TAYLOR, ELLEN'S DEAD.

OH, HELP ME, CHILD--

HELP ME.

OH, GOD!

OH!

ONLY GOD CAN HELP YOU.

IF HE ONLY COULD.

BUT HE CAN.

JUST GIVE HIM A CHANCE, AND HE CAN.

OH!

[WAGON APPROACHING]

PA!

PA!

HALF PINT!

THANK GOD YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

I'M FINE, PA.

MRS. TAYLOR'S ALL RIGHT, TOO.

SHE'S BY THE GRAVE.

OH, BABY!

MR. BUSBY?

MY PA AND ME WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS.

WE WANT TO BE YOUR FRIENDS, IF YOU WANT US TO.

WELL, I GOT TO GO TO SCHOOL. SEE YOU.

SEE YOU.
