[CHIRPING]

AH. FEED ME, WOMAN. I'M STARVED.

JUST ABOUT READY. YOU'RE EARLY.

I LOADED SACKS WITH BOTH HANDS.

WANTED TO GET HOME IN TIME

TO START WORK ON THAT CUPBOARD.

WHAT CUPBOARD?

THE HAND-CARVED ONE I'M
GOING TO MAKE FOR MRS. JOHNSON.

CHARLES, YOU'VE NEVER MADE
HAND-CARVED FURNITURE BEFORE IN YOUR LIFE.

I KNOW THAT. I DIDN'T DO TOO BAD

ON THAT DOLL I CARVED
FOR CARRIE, DID I?

NO, BUT...

WELL, THEN, YOU
GOT TO GIVE IT A TRY.

THERE'S NO WAY TO
TELL UNLESS YOU TRY.

BESIDES, WE CAN
USE THE EXTRA MONEY.

HOW MUCH WILL SHE PAY YOU?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

THERE WAS NO WAY
I COULD SET A PRICE

ON SOMETHING I'VE
NEVER DONE BEFORE.

I'M SURE YOU'LL CARVE
BETTER THAN YOU DO BUSINESS.

NOW SIT DOWN AND
HAVE YOUR LUNCH.

YES, MA'AM.

AREN'T YOU GOING
TO EAT SOMETHING?

CARRIE ALREADY HAD
LUNCH, AND I'M NOT HUNGRY.

YOU HAVEN'T EATEN ENOUGH
LATELY TO KEEP A BIRD ALIVE.

I'LL GAIN WEIGHT SOON ENOUGH.

ALL WOMEN DO.

DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE
WORRIED ABOUT WEIGHT.

YOU TAKE AFTER YOUR MOTHER.

NO WAY IN THE WORLD YOU'RE
GOING TO GAIN ANY POUNDS.

THERE'S ONE WAY.

WELL, IF THERE IS, I'D
SURE LIKE TO KNOW...

A BABY.

ARE YOU HAPPY?

WHAT KIND OF QUESTION
IS THAT TO ASK ME?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

YOU WORK SO HARD NOW,

AND WITH ANOTHER
MOUTH TO FEED...

WELL, YOU LET ME WORRY
ABOUT THAT, ALL RIGHT?

A BABY.

I GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO.

BUT YOU HAVEN'T EVEN
FINISHED YOUR LUNCH.

I COULDN'T EAT A THING.

I'M GOING TO BUILD A
CUPBOARD FIT FOR A QUEEN.

A BABY.

I LOVE YOU.

WHAT... WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

WHERE I COULD GET
A LITTLE EXTRA ROOM.

YOU KNOW, ADD A LITTLE SPACE.

WE'RE GOING TO NEED IT.

WE'RE GOING TO WANT
HIM RIGHT CLOSE TO US.

WELL, THE BABY WON'T
BE ALONG FOR 6 MONTHS.

I THINK YOU COULD WAIT FOR
DAYLIGHT TO START BUILDING.

I SUPPOSE YOU'RE RIGHT.

I JUST CAN'T GET
OVER IT, THOUGH.

A BABY.

NOT NECESSARILY A BOY.

WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT A BOY?

YOU SAID WE'LL WANT
HIM CLOSE TO US.

DID I SAY THAT?

YOU SAID THAT.

I DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING BY IT.

NO.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THE
ODDS ARE WE'LL HAVE A BOY.

WE'VE HAD 3 GIRLS.

MMM.

YOU REMEMBER THE
STEVENSONS IN WISCONSIN?

MM-HMM.

11 GIRLS.

OH.

I'LL DO MY BEST.

HA HA HA!

I LOVE YOU.

ARE YOU GLAD ABOUT THE BABY?

WHAT?

ARE YOU GLAD THAT MA'S
GOING TO HAVE A BABY?

SURE. AREN'T YOU?

I SUPPOSE.

YOU BETTER GET TO SLEEP.

DO YOU WANT A
BROTHER OR A SISTER?

I DON'T CARE.

PA WANTS A BOY, YOU KNOW.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

BECAUSE EVERY TIME HE TALKED
ABOUT THE BABY AT SUPPER,

HE SAID "HIM" OR "HE."

THAT'S HOW I KNOW.

WELL, ONLY GOD KNOWS
IF IT'S A BOY OR A GIRL,

SO YOU MIGHT AS
WELL GO TO SLEEP.

I HOPE GOD WANTS A GIRL.

YOU LIKE THAT.

COME ON.

[SCRAPING]

HI.

HI.

I THOUGHT YOU
FINISHED THE CUPBOARD.

I DID. I'M GOING TO TAKE
IT INTO TOWN TOMORROW

AS SOON AS THE FINISH DRIES.

WHAT'S THAT YOU'RE MAKING?

I HAD A LITTLE BIT OF
LUMBER LEFT OVER.

I THOUGHT I'D PUT IT TO USE.

ON WHAT?

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SURPRISE,

BUT I'M GOING TO
SHOW IT TO YOU ANYWAY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

HA HA HA!

I THINK YOU'RE EXPECTING

A LARGER BABY
THAN I CAN DELIVER.

OH.

I GUESS IT IS A
LITTLE BIG, ISN'T IT?

I'D SAY SO.

I JUST FIGURED A BABY
NEEDS ROOM TO MOVE AROUND.

YOU MARK MY WORDS.
YOU'D BE SURPRISED.

HE'LL OUTGROW THIS IN NO TIME.

YOU JUST SAID IT AGAIN.

JUST SAID WHAT AGAIN?

HE.

OH.

I NEVER EVEN REALIZED I SAID IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
I SAID IT. I'M SORRY.

I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER
NOT TO SAY IT.

I KNOW. YOU KEEP
TELLING ME THAT.

IT JUST SOUNDS FUNNY
TO ME CALLING A BABY AN IT.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'D
BE A LITTLE PUT OUT

IF SOMEBODY JUST
KEPT CALLING YOU "IT"?

I THINK I'D FEEL WORSE,
CHARLES, IF I WERE A GIRL

AND SOMEBODY KEPT
CALLING ME A BOY.

UH!

WHAT'S WRONG?

HE JUST KICKED! HA HA!

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

THE BABY! HE JUST KICKED!

IT JUST KICKED.

OH.

HA HA HA!

AND WE THANK YOU, O
LORD, FOR MAKING US STRONG

AND FOR GIVING US THE BOUNTIFUL
GIFTS OF YOUR LAND. AMEN.

AMEN. AMEN.

I HOPE EVERYBODY'S
AS HUNGRY AS I AM.

CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION, MA?

CERTAINLY. WHAT IS IT?

WE WERE TALKING AT SCHOOL TODAY,

AND CHRISTY SAID
WHEN YOU HAVE A BABY,

IT COMES OUT IN A GIANT EGG,

AND YOU HAVE TO BREAK IT OPEN

WITH A BIG ROCK OR SOMETHING.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE
SHE GOT THAT IDEA,

BUT IT ISN'T SO.

I TOLD YOU, IT'S JUST LIKE
WHEN MY PONY GOT BORN.

ISN'T IT, MA?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I KNEW THAT.

I WAS JUST TELLING
YOU WHAT CHRISTY SAID.

I DON'T MIND
QUESTIONS AT THE TABLE,

BUT I EXPECT YOU GIRLS TO
EAT YOUR SUPPER WHILE IT'S HOT.

YES, PA.

TODAY I PLAYED TWO
OLD CAT WITH A BOY.

HEY. SOUNDS LIKE FUN.

AND I WON HIM, TOO.

YOU MEAN YOU WON THE GAME.

I BEAT ALL OF THEM,
EVEN JOHNNY JOHNSON.

I THINK IT WOULD
BE MORE LADYLIKE

IF YOU PLAYED WITH
THE GIRLS SOMETIMES.

IT'S MORE FUN
PLAYING BOYS' GAMES,

ISN'T IT, PA?

YEAH, I SUPPOSE.

JOHNNY SAID I'M A TOMBOY.

THAT'S JUST LIKE BEING A BOY.

YOU KNOW, I REALLY AM JUST
LIKE A BOY. DON'T YOU THINK?

I THINK I'VE GOT A LITTLE GIRL

WHO'S DOING A LOT MORE
TALKING THAN SHE IS EATING.

YOU GET STARTED, ALL RIGHT?

YES, SIR.

IT'S GOOD.

Laura, voice-over: IT WAS
GETTING CLOSE TO THE TIME

WHEN THE BABY
WOULD COME, MA SAID.

SHE WOULDN'T MAKE THE
TRIP TO TOWN ANYMORE,

SO WE, MARY AND I,

TOOK THE EGGS INTO OLESON'S
ON OUR WAY TO SCHOOL.

I'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE
EGGS IF YOU WANT THEM.

MM-MMM. COULDN'T
EAT ANOTHER BITE.

ARE YOU SURE? IT WILL ONLY
TAKE ME A MINUTE TO COOK THEM.

COULDN'T DO IT.
BESIDES, I'M LATE.

MMM.

I LOVE YOU. SEE YOU LATER.

CHARLES?

YEAH.

WILL YOU STOP BY
AND SEE IF GRACE

WOULD LIKE TO COME
OUT FOR A VISIT TODAY?

IT'S FRIDAY. THAT'S MAIL DAY.

SHE'S GOING TO BE PRETTY BUSY.

BUT YOU'LL ASK HER.

SURE. SEE YOU LATER.

DID YOU WANT GRACE TO
COME OUT FOR A SOCIAL CALL?

IT'S, UH...

YES.

[PANTING]

HOW MUCH LONGER?

WELL, IT CAN'T BE LONG NOW.

THAT WAS A GOOD ONE.

IT'S COMING CLOSE TOGETHER NOW.

DON'T LOOK SO CONCERNED.

I'M FINE.

I KNOW THAT.

UNNGH.

IT'S TIME.

I KNOW! IT'S TIME!

OK, YOU GET ON OUT NOW.

IT'S MY TURN. YEAH.

LOOK, ARE YOU SURE...

GET ON OUT. I HAVE
SPANKED THE BEHINDS

OF HALF THE CHILDREN
IN WALNUT GROVE.

NOW GIT.

PA?

IS MA ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

YOUR MA'S FINE. SHE'S JUST FINE.

I'M SCARED, PA.

THERE'S NOTHING TO BE
SCARED ABOUT. YOUR MA'S OK.

IT HURTS TO HAVE
A BABY, DON'T IT, PA?

YEAH.

YEAH, IT DOES, HALF-PINT,

BUT YOUR MA SAYS
IT'S A JOYOUS HURT.

I DON'T THINK I WANT A BABY.

WELL, WHEN YOU GET MARRIED,
YOU'LL CHANGE YOUR MIND.

I'M NOT GOING TO GET MARRIED.

ME, NEITHER. I'M GOING
TO STAY WITH YOU, PA.

IT'S A LITTLE EARLY IN YOUR LIFE

TO BE MAKING THOSE
KIND OF DECISIONS.

WAIT A FEW YEARS, AND YOU...

[SLAP]

[BABY CRYING]

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

Grace: YOU JUST HOLD
YOUR HORSES, PAPA.

I WANT THIS BABY
CLEAN WHEN YOU SEE IT.

CAN YOU HEAR HER?

IT'S A GIRL.

I'M TALKING ABOUT YOUR WIFE.

SHE KEEPS SAYING
IT OVER AND OVER.

"IT'S A BOY."

IT'S A BOY.

A BOY.

I GOT A SON.

CHARLES INGALLS, JR.

I LOVE YOU.

COME SEE YOUR BROTHER.

NOW, I DON'T WANT
GERMS ALL OVER THIS BABY.

OH, IT'LL JUST BE A MINUTE.

JUST ONE MINUTE, THEN.

OH, HE'S SO SMALL.

Charles: HE WON'T BE FOR
LONG. HE'LL GROW LIKE A WEED.

HA HA HA!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF
YOUR BABY BROTHER, CARRIE?

DOLLY. CARRIE'S DOLLY.

NO, SWEET THING.

THAT'S MY SON...
CHARLES INGALLS, JR.

ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT ME

TO GIVE YOU A HAND WITH THAT?

NO. I'M STRONG ENOUGH,
PA. I CAN DO ANYTHING.

WHATEVER YOU SAY.

HA HA HA!

YOU LEFT A PACKAGE.

OH, THANK YOU, NELS.

WHEN AM I GOING TO
SEE THIS BOY OF YOURS?

YOU CAN SEE HIM SUNDAY
IF YOU DON'T OVERSLEEP.

REVEREND ALDEN'S
GOING TO BAPTIZE HIM.

Nels: I'LL BE THERE.

GOOD.

GRACE SNIDER TOLD ME SHE'D
NEVER FORGET THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE

WHEN SHE TOLD YOU IT WAS A BOY.

AND I'LL NEVER FORGET
THE MOMENT SHE TOLD ME.

I'LL BET YOUR WIFE WAS HAPPY.

THAT SHE WAS.

A SON. YOU GOT EVERYTHING
A MAN COULD WANT NOW.

THAT I DO.

Harriet: NELS!

AND YOU WERE
AFRAID I'D OVERSLEEP.

I'LL SEE YOU SUNDAY.

SEE YOU SUNDAY.

YOU ALL SET?

YES, SIR.

I'D GET SOME
SLEEP IF I WERE YOU.

YOUR SON WILL WAKE
US UP SOON ENOUGH.

I JUST CAN'T GET
OVER HOW TINY HE IS.

LOOK AT HIM.

SO TINY.

NO MATTER HOW
MANY BABIES WE HAVE,

I'M JUST GOING TO BE
SURPRISED AS EVER AT HOW TINY...

LOOK AT THOSE FEET!

NOW, THOSE ARE TINY FEET.

I THINK IT'S A PERFECT FOOT.

OH, I THINK IT'S A
PERFECT FOOT, TOO.

I JUST KIND OF THOUGHT
BOYS WOULD HAVE BIGGER FEET.

LOOK AT THAT.

I WONDER HOW MUCH HE WEIGHS.

GRACE SAID THE DOCTOR
WILL BE OUT IN A DAY OR TWO.

WE'LL FIND OUT THEN.

HE REALLY IS SOMETHING.

HE SHOULD BE. HE'S YOU.

YOU MEAN US.

BETTER GET SOME SLEEP. GO ON.

Reverend Alden: CHARLES
FREDERICK INGALLS,

I BAPTIZE THEE IN THE
NAME OF THE FATHER

AND OF THE SON AND OF
THE HOLY GHOST, AMEN.

LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE ANOTHER STUDENT.

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
ADD ANOTHER ROOM!

CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, REVEREND.

YOU GOT A BOY AT LAST, HUH?

I CAN USE THAT HELP.

CONGRATULATIONS, INGALLS.

YES. ISN'T IT WONDERFUL?

YES, IT IS, MR. OLESON.

OH! WELL, NOW.

LET'S SEE. THAT'S, UH...

5...

NO. 4 NOW, ISN'T
IT, MRS. INGALLS?

4 IS CORRECT, MRS. OLESON.

YES.

I SUPPOSE THAT'S THE WAY
IT IS WITH COUNTRY FOLK.

SORT OF LIKE BEING A BROODMARE.

OF COURSE, IN MY CASE,

NELLIE AND WILLIE ARE
MORE THAN ENOUGH.

IN THE CASE OF
NELLIE AND WILLIE,

I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE.

GOOD DAY.

GOOD DAY, MRS. OLESON.

NELS, COME ALONG.

YES, DEAR.

AGAIN, THE BEST TO ALL OF YOU.

THANK YOU.

WELL, HOW WAS YOUR FRIEND TODAY?

THAT WOMAN IS...

CAROLINE, IT'S SUNDAY.

SHE MAKES IT VERY HARD
TO HAVE A CHRISTIAN FEELING.

WELL, IF YOU CAN'T PRAY FOR HER,

AT LEAST PRAY FOR HER HUSBAND!

Laura: PA, LOOK!

HUP, HUP, HUP!

LOOK WHAT MR. EDWARDS GOT US!

POPCORN... A BAG FOR EACH!

Carrie: POPCORN!

WELL, THAT'S NICE OF HIM.

WELL, WHY NOT?
WE'RE CELEBRATING.

AIN'T EVERY DAY I GET
TO BECOME A GODFATHER.

THAT'S THE TRUTH.

HERE'S YOUR LITTLE FIST.

THE BALL GAME
STARTS IN 10 MINUTES!

ALL MEN WANTING
TO PLAY, COME AHEAD!

WELL, AREN'T YOU
GOING TO PLAY, PA?

NO. I THINK I'LL JUST

TAKE IT EASY TODAY, HALF-PINT.

YOUR SON WILL BE FINE.

WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD?

PLEASE, PA?

NAH. IT'S HIS DAY.

BESIDES, BEFORE LONG,
HE'LL BE BIG ENOUGH

TO BE OUT THERE ON A FIELD
PLAYING BASEBALL WITH ME.

I GOT A FEELING THAT
MIGHT BE A YEAR OR TWO,

SO I'M GOING TO GO
ON AND KEEP IN SHAPE.

CAN WE GO WITH MR. EDWARDS, MA?

Caroline: ALL RIGHT.

COME ON, BUTTON. GOT TO
HIT A LONG ONE FOR MY GODSON.

ARE YOU COMING, HALF-PINT?

[BABY CRIES]

YEAH.

HE'S STILL NOT GAINING.

HE'S NOT GAINING, BUT HE'S NOT
LOSING. JUST HOLDING HIS OWN.

I THINK WE'LL TRY TO
PUT HIM ON REGULAR MILK.

I BELIEVE THAT
WILL DO THAT TRICK.

BUT HIS APPETITE IS GOOD.

THERE MAY BE SOMETHING WRONG
WITH YOUR MILK, MRS. INGALLS.

IT'S JUST BODY CHEMISTRY.

THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL IT.

IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

WELL, NOW, DON'T START WORRYING.

EVERYBODY STARTS WORRYING
WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE A FAT BABY.

I'M NOT WORRIED,
JUST SO LONG AS YOU

SAY EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT.

EVERYTHING'S FINE.

NOW, I BETTER GET GOING.

MISS ARNOLD HAS ANOTHER
ONE OF HER SORE THROATS,

AND JUST BETWEEN
US, I THINK SHE LIKES

THE KICK OF THAT
BIG-CITY COUGH MEDICINE.

I'LL DROP BY NEXT WEEK.

OH, WAIT.

6 EGGS, ALL DOUBLE YOLKS.

6? THAT'S TOO MANY!

OR ARE YOU WORRIED BECAUSE
YOU DON'T HAVE A FAT DOCTOR?

I JUST FEEL SO FOOLISH
PAYING YOU IN EGGS

WHEN YOU GAVE US THE CHICKENS.

I'LL BRING BACK THE BUCKET.

YOU KNOW, THEY NEVER
LAID DOUBLE YOLKS FOR ME.

I GUESS THAT SHOWS
WHAT A LITTLE LOVE CAN DO.

OHH. LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE A SURPRISE FOR SUPPER.

IT'S STARTING TO BOIL!

NOT TOO LOUD.
CARRIE NEEDS HER NAP.

ALL RIGHT. NOW WE'LL
PUT IT IN THE BOTTLE.

WHY DO YOU BOIL IT, MA?

TO KILL THE GERMS.

WHAT DO GERMS LOOK LIKE?

I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
YOU CAN'T SEE THEM.

THEN HOW DO YOU
KNOW THEY'RE THERE?

YOU CAN'T SEE
THEM WITH YOUR EYE.

YOU NEED A MACHINE
CALLED A MICROSCOPE.

THEN IT SEEMS REAL BIG,
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THEM.

I WISH WE HAD ONE.
I'D LOVE TO SEE A GERM.

I HEAR TELL THEY'VE
GOT ONE IN MANKATO.

MAYBE ONE OF THESE
DAYS YOU CAN GO SEE IT.

NOW WE TEST IT.

HMM. A LITTLE TOO HOT.

YOU TEST IT ON YOUR WRIST.

YOU CAN FEEL IT
BEST RIGHT THERE.

MAYBE I CAN FEED FREDDIE SOON.

YOUR BROTHER'S NAME IS CHARLES.

MR. EDWARDS CALLS HIM FREDDIE.

MR. EDWARDS USES A
FEW NAMES HE SHOULDN'T.

CAROLINE, YOU'RE SPEAKING
OF YOUR SON'S GODFATHER.

THAT'S BETTER.

I MADE A SPECIAL
REPORT FOR SCHOOL, PA,

WITH MAPS AND EVERYTHING.

WELL, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

I LIKE THE COVER.

WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE MAPS.

Caroline: CHARLES,
YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS.

HE'S HALFWAY THROUGH ALREADY.

OH, HE CAN'T BE!

WELL, I JUST DON'T
BELIEVE IT. LOOK AT HIM EAT.

DID I EAT THAT FAST, MAMA?

YOU ALL DID PRETTY WELL.

YOU DID PRETTY WELL,

BUT YOU'RE NOTHING
COMPARED TO HIM.

HE'S GOING TO BE A BIG BOY.

BETTER TAKE A FIRM HAND
WITH HIM WHILE I STILL CAN.

JUST LOOK AT HIM.

YEAH.

I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO GET ANOTHER COW.

JUST LOOK AT HIM GO!

DEAR GOD, THANK YOU
FOR ALL YOUR BLESSINGS.

BLESS OUR FAMILY,

AND ESPECIALLY HELP MY
BABY BROTHER TO GET STRONG.

AMEN.

YOUR TURN.

DEAR GOD...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR
BLESSINGS, AND BLESS OUR FAMILY.

AMEN.

YOU FORGOT THE
SPECIAL ONE FOR CHARLES.

MA ASKED US TO.

I DON'T HAVE TO.

DON'T YOU EVEN CARE
ABOUT YOUR OWN BROTHER?

PA CARES ENOUGH FOR ALL OF US,

BUT THAT'S ALL HE
CARES ABOUT ANYMORE.

THAT'S NOT TRUE,
AND YOU KNOW IT.

IT IS TOO TRUE.

I ASKED GOD FOR A SISTER,
AND HE DIDN'T LISTEN,

SO NOW I DON'T CARE.

YOU TAKE THAT
BACK, OR I'LL TELL PA.

GO AHEAD. HE WON'T LISTEN.

HE'LL BE TOO BUSY
PLAYING WITH MY BROTHER.

GO ON. TELL HIM. YOU'LL SEE.

WELL, WHAT IS IT?

Dr. Baker: I WISH I KNEW.

HE'S NOT GAINING.

THE CHILD IS WEAKENING,
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.

HMM. MAYBE IT'S JUST
SOMETHING THAT WILL PASS.

I WON'T LIE TO
YOU, MRS. INGALLS.

I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE.

SURELY THERE MUST BE
SOMETHING WE CAN DO.

PERHAPS IN MANKATO.

THEY HAVE BETTER
EQUIPMENT, MORE FACILITIES.

I JUST DON'T KNOW.

SOMETIMES A COUNTRY
DOCTOR LIKE ME FEELS...

SO USELESS!

[CARRIAGE RIDING AWAY]

YOU HEARD WHAT HE SAID.

THERE ARE BETTER
DOCTORS IN MANKATO.

OH, CHARLES.

NOW, LISTEN TO ME!

JUST LISTEN TO ME. YOU
HEARD WHAT HE SAID.

HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW.

YOU HEARD HIM. HE
SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW.

WE'LL GO TO MANKATO.

HALF-PINT, TELL YOUR
MA WE'RE ABOUT READY.

I WISH I COULD TELL
YOU THERE WAS HOPE.

WE'VE SEEN THIS
MANY TIMES BEFORE.

WE KNOW WHAT THE
PROBLEM IS, BUT...

THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO.

THE RED CELL COUNT
IN YOUR SON'S BLOOD

HAS DROPPED DRASTICALLY

IN JUST THE FEW DAYS HE'S HERE.

I'M SORRY.

HE, UH...

WON'T BE IN ANY PAIN?

NO. HE'LL JUST GO TO SLEEP.

EXCUSE ME, DOCTOR.

COULD I SEE YOU FOR A MOMENT?

CERTAINLY.

EXCUSE ME.

I NEVER NOTICED BEFORE

WHAT A HURRY EVERYBODY'S IN.

ALL THOSE PEOPLE...

IN SUCH A HURRY.

I WONDER WHAT COULD
BE SO IMPORTANT.

MR. INGALLS?

HE'S GONE TO SLEEP, HASN'T HE?

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD;
I SHALL NOT WANT.

HE MAKETH ME TO LIE
DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES:

HE LEADETH ME BESIDE
THE STILL WATERS.

HE RESTORETH MY SOUL:

HE LEADETH ME IN THE
PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.

Both: YEA, THOUGH I WALK

THROUGH THE VALLEY
OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,

I WILL FEAR NO EVIL:

FOR THOU ART WITH ME;

THY ROD AND THY
STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME.

THOU PREPAREST A TABLE BEFORE ME

IN THE PRESENCE OF MINE ENEMIES:

THOU ANOINTEST MY HEAD WITH OIL;

MY CUP RUNNETH OVER.

SURELY GOODNESS AND
MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME

ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE:

AND I WILL DWELL IN
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD...

FOREVER.

WHERE... WHERE IS HE?

IN HEAVEN, CHILD.

NO.

OH, PA.

NO.

NO.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S GOD'S WILL.

LAURA?

SHE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

SHE JUST NEEDS SOME TIME.

JUST SOME TIME.

[NO AUDIO]

IT ISN'T ENOUGH TO SAY,

"I'M SORRY, LORD,"

AND THEN CONTINUE YOUR SINS
UNTIL THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY,

WHEN YOU CAN AGAIN
ASK HIS FORGIVENESS.

WE MUST CHANGE THOSE WAYS.

YOU CANNOT ASK GOD FOR
HELP UNTIL YOU'VE FIRST MADE

THE ATTEMPT TO HELP YOURSELF...

BUT IF YOU WORK WITH THE LORD,

HE'LL WORK WITH YOU.

IF YOU RID YOURSELF OF
EVIL DEEDS AND THOUGHTS,

THE LORD WILL MAKE
ALL THINGS POSSIBLE.

REMEMBER, I SAID ALL THINGS,

FOR THAT'S THE
GREATNESS OF GOD'S POWER.

HOW'S CAROLINE FEELING?

FINE. GOT A LOT OF
STRENGTH, THAT WOMAN.

THAT SHE DOES, THAT SHE DOES.

IT'S LAURA WHO
I'M WORRIED ABOUT.

SHE'S TAKING IT A LOT
WORSE THAN THE REST OF US.

I TRIED TO TALK TO HER ABOUT
IT, BUT SHE JUST AVOIDS IT.

OH, WELL. IT'S ONLY
BEEN A FEW WEEKS.

TIME TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING.

I SUPPOSE.

COME ON, CARRIE.

CAN MARY WATCH
CARRIE A MINUTE, MA?

I LEFT MY SHAWL IN CHURCH.

SURE.

DON'T RUN. YOUR SHAWL
ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE.

WELL, LAURA, I DIDN'T
EVEN HEAR YOU COME IN.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, CHILD?

I WANTED TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.

WELL, CERTAINLY.

COME SIT DOWN RIGHT HERE BY ME.

NOW, WHAT QUESTION?

IT'S ABOUT THE SERMON TODAY.

WELL, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR
YOU WERE LISTENING.

I'M AFRAID SOME FOLKS DON'T.

WHAT CAN GOD DO?

I DON'T THINK I KNOW
WHAT YOU MEAN.

WELL...

YOU SAID GOD COULD
MAKE ALL THINGS POSSIBLE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

LIKE WHAT THINGS?
YOU MEAN MIRACLES?

YES. SOMETIMES EVEN MIRACLES.

HOW COULD YOU GET A MIRACLE?

LAURA, THERE'S NO WAY
YOU CAN GUARANTEE THAT.

BUT THERE WOULD BE A CHANCE
IF YOU PRAYED HARD ENOUGH.

YES, IF YOU PRAYED REAL HARD.

SEE, THE CLOSER YOU ARE TO GOD,

THE MORE LIKELY HE IS TO LISTEN.

THE CLOSER YOU ARE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

THANK YOU, REVEREND ALDEN.

YOU'RE WELCOME, CHILD.

LET'S PLAY, PA.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT WOULD
YOU LIKE TO PLAY, HALF-PINT?

ANY GAME WE EVER
PLAYED. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

HEY, WHAT'S THIS
SUDDEN BURST OF ENERGY?

I JUST WANT TO HAVE
THE BEST DAY EVER.

THAT'S AS GOOD A REASON AS ANY.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE.

HIDE-AND-GO-SEEK.
I'M IT. 1... 2...

COME ON, MARY! PA'S IT!

3... 4...

YOU DIDN'T HAVE YOUR LUNCH.

LUNCH CAN WAIT. WE
GOT GAMES TO PLAY.

6... 7... 8... 9... 10.

ANYONE AROUND MY BASE IS IT!

I TOLD YOU, TIME TAKES
CARE OF EVERYTHING.

Charles: THAT'S
RIGHT. HERE I COME!

OH!

AAH!

BOO!

[GIRLS GIGGLING]

Charles: I'M GOING TO GET YOU.

RAAH!

AGH!

COME ON!

WHOA!

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

NO! NO MORE!

I SURRENDER. I CAN'T
RUN ANOTHER STEP.

ME, EITHER.

IT WAS THE BEST DAY
EVER. WASN'T IT, PA?

OH, THAT IT WAS, HALF-PINT.

I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER
IT. WON'T YOU?

I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER IT.

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING.

I LOVE YOU.

Laura: "DEAR PA,

"I CAN'T WRITE
WHAT'S IN MY HEART

"BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T GET THE WORDS
TO COME OUT THE END OF MY PENCIL.

"I DID A BAD THING BY
HAVING MEAN THOUGHTS,

"BUT I KNOW HOW I CAN
MAKE IT RIGHT AGAIN.

I CAN'T TELL YOU THE REST BECAUSE
IT'S JUST BETWEEN ME AND GOD."

"I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER TODAY.

I LOVE YOU ALL. LAURA."

[WHIMPERING SOFTLY]

[SOFTLY] GOOD-BYE, JACK.

[WHIMPERING SOFTLY]

[ROOSTER CROWING]

GOOD MORNING.

I HAD A DREAM.

IT WAS SUNDAY.

IT WAS A DREAM.
THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.

IT'S MONDAY, AND I'M STARVING.

[CHUCKLING]

BREAKFAST IS PRACTICALLY READY.

MMM...

[GIGGLES]

OH...

OPEN UP THE WINDOWS,
AND OPEN UP THE DOORS.

LET THE SUNSHINE IN.
LAURA, YOUR TURN TO MILK.

LAURA'S ALREADY
DRESSED AND GONE.

THAT'S WHAT I LIKE, A
LITTLE GIRL WHO'S NOT AFRAID

TO GET UP EARLY
AND DO HER CHORES.

CHARLES...

I KNOW. I'LL GET THE
WATER IN A MINUTE.

NO. LOOK AT THIS.

LAURA!

[CHICKENS CLUCKING]

LAURA!

LAURA!

MARY, COME DOWN HERE, PLEASE.

WHAT'S WRONG?

READ THIS.

DID LAURA SAY ANYTHING TO YOU?

NO, PA.

NOW, THINK. YESTERDAY...

DID SHE SAY ANYTHING
AT ALL YESTERDAY?

NO.

SHE WAS FINE YESTERDAY,

HAPPIER THAN SHE'S
BEEN SINCE THE...

SINCE IT HAPPENED.

IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

WHAT MEAN THOUGHTS? THE CHILD
DOESN'T HAVE A MEAN BONE IN HER BODY.

Mary: IT WAS WEEKS AGO.

WELL, WHAT? WHAT WAS WEEKS AGO?

WELL, I DIDN'T WANT TO TELL.

MARY, PLEASE. WHAT
WAS WEEKS AGO?

WELL...

WHEN THE BABY WAS SICK...

AND YOU WANTED US TO
SAY AN EXTRA PRAYER...

LAURA COULDN'T DO IT.

SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T CARE.

WHY WOULD SHE SAY THAT?

WHY, MARY?

SHE SAID... BECAUSE...

ALL THAT YOU CARED ABOUT...

WAS HIM.

I TOLD HER IT WASN'T TRUE...

BUT SHE GOT ANGRY...

AND SAID IT WAS, TOO.

I'LL GO BY WILLOW LAKE, AND I'LL STOP
BY TOWN AND SEE IF I CAN FIND HER.

MARY, YOU STAY WITH YOUR
MOTHER TODAY, ALL RIGHT?

DON'T YOU WORRY. I'LL FIND HER.

LAURA!

LAURA!

GRACE, YOU HAVEN'T
SEEN LAURA, HAVE YOU?

NO. SHE'S NOT IN SCHOOL?

NO. HAS EDWARDS
BEEN IN TOWN TODAY?

HE STOPPED BY THIS MORNING.

PICKED UP SOME SHINGLES
OVER AT HANSON'S.

GOING TO DO SOME ROOF
WORK AT AMY HEARN'S.

THANK YOU.

HANS?

I NEED A LOAN OF A SADDLE HORSE.

THERE'S TWO IN THE
CORRAL. TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

MY SADDLE'S INSIDE.

THANK YOU.

Reverend Alden: THE CLOSER YOU ARE
TO GOD, THE MORE LIKELY HE IS TO LISTEN.

IF YOU KNEW WHICH DIRECTION
THAT YOUNG'UN TOOK...

WELL, THERE'S NO WAY OF TELLING.

HAS SHE GOT A FAVORITE
SPOT OR SOMETHING?

USUALLY WHEN A KID RUNS OFF,
THEY HEAD FOR A PLACE LIKE THAT.

SHE'S ALWAYS LIKED WILLOW LAKE.

I WENT BY THERE AND
CHECKED. THERE'S NO SIGN.

I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW I
COULD HAVE BEEN SO BLIND.

DON'T START BLAMING YOURSELF.

WHO ELSE AM I GOING TO BLAME?

ALL THAT TIME I
SPENT WITH THE BOY...

TALKING ABOUT HIM.

WHAT'S DONE IS DONE.

WHEN YOU FIND HER, YOU'LL
MAKE EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT.

SHE'S LIKE MOST KIDS, SHE'LL
BE HOME BEFORE NIGHTFALL.

YOU THINK SO?

SURE.

COME ON, PICK A DIRECTION.
WE'LL START LOOKING.

WELL, WE'LL DOUBLE
BACK THROUGH TOWN.

CHECK AGAIN.

THEN WE'LL HEAD EAST.

WELL, IT'LL BE DARK
BEFORE TOO LONG.

I THINK WE OUGHT TO HEAD
ON BACK TO YOUR PLACE.

FOR ALL WE KNOW,
SHE'LL BE HOME BY NOW.

EITHER WAY, WE'RE GOING TO
NEED LANTERNS TO KEEP LOOKING.

SURE IS A LONG
WAYS UP HERE, GOD,

BUT I WANTED TO GET AS
CLOSE TO YOU AS I COULD

SO'S YOU COULD HEAR ME FOR SURE.

YOU SEE, THE REVEREND
ALDEN... YOU KNOW HIM.

WELL, HE TOLD ME
YOU COULD HELP ME.

YOU SEE, GOD, I WAS SUPPOSED
TO PRAY FOR MY BROTHER

SO'S HE WOULD BE
ALL RIGHT AGAIN, AND...

WELL, I DIDN'T DO IT.

I HAD MEAN THOUGHTS...

BUT I TRIED TO TELL YOU
LATER THAT I DIDN'T MEAN IT.

I REALLY DID WANT HIM
TO BE ALL RIGHT AGAIN,

BUT I GUESS YOU DIDN'T HEAR ME.

SO NOW I WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT.

YOU SEE, GOD, MY PA HAS 3
GIRLS... ME AND MARY AND CARRIE...

AND WHAT HE REALLY
NEEDS IS A BOY...

LIKE YOU HAD, GOD.

SO WHAT I WAS WONDERING IS...

SINCE YOU HAVE A SON, MAYBE YOU
WOULD LIKE A LITTLE GIRL WITH YOU,

AND YOU COULD SEND
MY BROTHER BACK TO PA.

WELL, THAT'S ABOUT IT.

I'LL JUST WAIT RIGHT HERE.

AMEN.

HERE'S THE EXTRA
CANTEEN AND SOME FOOD.

GOOD.

RUNNING SHORT OF KEROSENE.

ALL SET?

YEAH.

LET'S GO.

[HOOFBEATS]

Man: SLEEP WELL?

CAN'T YOU SPEAK, CHILD?

WHERE AM I?

DON'T YOU KNOW?

I'M NOT SURE.

YOU'RE ON MY MOUNTAIN...

JONATHAN'S MOUNTAIN.

OH. WHO ARE YOU?

WELL, I JUST TOLD YOU. YOU'RE
ON MY MOUNTAIN. I'M JONATHAN.

THEN YOU'RE JUST A MAN.

WELL, WHO ARE YOU?

LAURA.

LAURA.

WELL, LITTLE LAURA,
WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?

I WAS JUST TAKING
A TRIP, IS ALL.

OH.

WELL, YOU SHOULD BRING SOME
WARM THINGS WITH YOU ON A JOURNEY.

WHERE YOU BOUND FOR?

I'M NOT SURE YET.

OH, SORT OF AN ADVENTURE, EH?

YES, SIR.

THOSE JOURNEYS ARE THE BEST.

I GOT SOME HOT PORRIDGE
ON. WOULD YOU LIKE SOME?

NO, THANK YOU.

YOU SURE?

I THINK I WILL.

OH, I LOVE WARM
PORRIDGE IN MY BODY.

I WAS TELLING HIM THIS MORNING,

COLD NIGHTS MAKE HOT
PORRIDGE A JOY, A PURE JOY.

YES, HE THOUGHT IT WAS
FUNNY, BUT HE HAD TO AGREE.

I THINK SOMETIMES
EVEN HE'S SURPRISED

AT HOW WE FEEL ABOUT THINGS.

WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WELL, GOD, OF COURSE.

ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T
WANT SOME PORRIDGE?

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

YOU KNOW GOD?

WELL, OF COURSE.

WE ALL DO... SOME
SOONER, SOME LATER.

BUT HE TALKS TO YOU.

WELL, WHEN HE HAS TIME.

WHY?

WELL, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

TO TALK TO GOD, I MEAN.

WELL, YOU COULDN'T HAVE
PICKED A BETTER PLACE.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT,

BUT I TALKED TO HIM LAST
NIGHT, AND NOTHING HAPPENED.

OH, I SEE.

WELL, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND,

HE'S GOT A LOT TO DO.

I MEAN, THERE'S SO MANY
PEOPLE HE HAS TO LISTEN TO

AND WELL, UH...

DIDN'T YOU EVER GET
BEHIND IN YOUR CHORES...

I MEAN, TO WHERE IT TOOK
YOU DAYS TO CATCH UP?

YEAH.

WELL, THERE YOU HAVE IT.

GOD'S JUST PROBABLY
RUNNING BEHIND.

YOU THINK THAT'S WHAT IT IS?

I'D BET ON IT.

HA HA HA!

YOU JUST HAVE TO BE PATIENT.

HOW ABOUT SOME PORRIDGE?

YOU MIGHT AS WELL WAIT FOR GOD

ON A FULL STOMACH AS
ON AN EMPTY ONE, HUH?

BESIDES, HE DOESN'T
LIKE HIS CHILDREN

TO WASTE GOOD FOOD, DOES HE?

I SUPPOSE YOU'RE RIGHT.

YEAH.

GOOD?

MMM.

[CHUCKLES]

WELL, HORSES ARE RESTED.

WE CAN MOVE OUT ANYTIME.

WE'VE COVERED A LOT OF
MILES IN THIS DIRECTION.

SHE COULDN'T HAVE
COME THIS FAR ON FOOT.

I THINK WE OUGHT TO DOUBLE BACK,

STOP AT YOUR PLACE JUST IN
CASE, AND THEN HEAD OUT AGAIN.

IT WAS COLD LAST NIGHT...

COLD A NIGHT AS
WE'VE HAD LATELY.

COULD FEEL THE WIND
THROUGH MY COAT.

AW, IT DIDN'T SEEM
THAT BAD TO ME.

LAURA DIDN'T EVEN BRING
HER LITTLE COAT WITH HER.

HOW MANY TIMES CAROLINE AND I
HAVE TOLD THAT CHILD TO BUNDLE UP...

HOW MANY TIMES...

CHARLES?

CHARLES?

COME ON. IT'S TIME TO GO.

PATIENCE, CHILD.

I CAN'T HELP IT.

PA SAYS CHILDREN AREN'T
SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANY.

YOUR PA SEEMS LIKE A BRIGHT MAN.

OH, HE IS.

SO'S MY MA.

SHE USED TO BE A SCHOOLTEACHER,

AND SHE KNOWS A BUNCH OF STUFF.

YOU'RE PRETTY FOND OF
YOUR FOLKS, AREN'T YOU?

SURE.

EVERYBODY LOVES THEIR MA AND PA.

THEN HOW COME YOU RUN OFF?

I CAN'T TELL YOU.

FAIR ENOUGH.

I WISH I COULD TELL
YOU, MR. JONATHAN,

BUT IT'S JUST
BETWEEN ME AND GOD.

I UNDERSTAND.

LOOK HERE.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

NOW, LOOK AT IT REAL CLOSE.

IT HAS MY NAME ON IT!

WHY, SURE. I MADE IT FOR YOU.

OH, THANK YOU.

IT'S A FINE CROSS.

I FIGURE IT WON'T HURT NONE
TO HAVE IT AROUND YOUR NECK

WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO HIM.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

NOW, COME ALONG.

WE'LL GO DOWN BY
THE RIVER AND WASH UP

AND DRINK DEEP
OF HEAVEN'S TEARS.

HEAVEN'S TEARS?

UH-HUH.

BUT I CAN'T!

HE MIGHT LOOK AND I'M
GONE. I MIGHT MISS HIM!

OH, WELL, NOW, DON'T
WORRY ABOUT THAT.

LOOK AT THE SUN.
THERE, IT MUST BE NOON...

TIME FOR THE LORD'S REST.

HA HA HA!

HE WON'T BE UP FROM HIS NAP
FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS YET.

GOD TAKES A NAP?

WHY, SURE.

I DIDN'T THINK HE
EVER GOT TIRED.

OH, MY, YES.

WHAT WITH ALL THOSE
PEOPLE ASKING FOR THINGS

AND GETTING INTO
TROUBLE AND ALL,

WHY, THAT'S A MIGHTY BIG JOB.

YOU REALLY KNOW A LOT ABOUT GOD.

THAT I DO. NOW, COME ALONG.

WHY DO YOU CALL
IT HEAVEN'S TEARS?

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT RAIN IS,

AND RAIN MAKES THE RIVER.

YOU SEE, WHEN
THE FOLKS IN HEAVEN

GET SAD ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS

THAT HAPPEN DOWN HERE, THEY CRY.

MAKES SENSE, DOESN'T IT?

WHEN YOU TELL IT, IT DOES.

[CHUCKLES]

AND WHEN THE SUN COMES OUT,

HEAVEN'S HAPPY, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

I WISH IT WOULD
NEVER RAIN AGAIN.

OH, WELL, NOW, HOLD ON.

THAT'S ONE OF GOD'S
LESSONS FOR US.

SEE, WHEN HEAVEN CRIES

AND THE TEARS COME DOWN,

IT MAKES THINGS GROW
AND COME ALIVE AGAIN.

WHAT GOD WANTS
US TO KNOW IS THAT

IT'S ALL RIGHT TO CARE

AND CRY FOR YOUR FELLOW MAN.

BECAUSE IF YOU DO,

ONLY GOOD CAN COME OF IT.

DID YOU EVER CRY, JONATHAN?

MANY TIMES, CHILD. MANY TIMES.

WELL, NOW. LET'S TAKE
A LOOK AT THOSE EARS.

I SCRUBBED THEM HARD.

AHH. OH, MY.

CLEAN AS A WHISTLE
ON THE INSIDE,

BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN
HE MIGHT CHECK BEHIND THEM.

I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THAT.

UH-HUH. BACK IN YOU GO.

I'LL GET GOOD THIS TIME.

I PROMISE. THAT'S IT.

THAT'S IT.

RUB THEM GOOD. OH, RUB THEM.

RUB THEM TILL THEY COME OFF!

MY CROSS!

CAREFUL, CHILD.

MY CROSS.

IT'S GONE.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, LAURA.

I SHOULD'VE USED A
STRONGER THREAD.

I'LL MAKE ANOTHER.

[COOING]

COME SEE, CHILD.

LAURA? COME SEE, DEAR.

[COOING]

HE SEEMS TO HAVE HURT HIS WING.

WILL IT DIE?

WELL, NOT IF
SOMEBODY CARES FOR IT.

NURSES IT BACK TO HEALTH.

I'LL DO IT.

I'LL BRING HIM BACK WITH US.

OH, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

HE'S BEAUTIFUL.

MM-HMM. AND JUST THINK...

IF THE CROSS HADN'T
FLOATED AWAY,

WE NEVER WOULD'VE FOUND HIM.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE
WHAT YOU SAID...

ABOUT TEARS MAKING
THINGS COME ALIVE AGAIN.

[CHUCKLES]

COME, CHILD.

Charles: WE'LL HEAD
TO THE ARDEN RIVER

AND THEN GO WEST FROM THERE.

Carrie: WHERE'S LAURA?

SHE WENT AWAY FOR A WHILE.

WHERE?

SHE JUST WENT SOMEWHERE.

DID SHE GO WITH MY BROTHER?

LET'S GO.

DO YOU THINK HE'S WARM ENOUGH?

OH, LIKE CORN BREAD IN THE OVEN.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

LIKE CORN BREAD.

I HOPE IT'S TONIGHT.

COULD BE.

I WONDER IF GOD
WOULD MIND IF I TOLD YOU.

YOU MEAN WHAT YOU
WERE TALKING TO HIM ABOUT?

YEAH.

NO. I DON'T THINK HE'D MIND.

YOU KNOWING HIM SO WELL AND ALL,

I FIGURED YOU COULD
TELL ME FOR SURE

WHETHER HE COULD
DO WHAT I'M ASKING.

WELL, I... I MIGHT BE ABLE TO.

WELL, THE SHORT OF IT IS,

I WANT TO MAKE KIND OF
A TRADE DEAL WITH GOD

SO AS I COULD BE WITH HIM

AND MY BROTHER COULD
COME BACK AND BE WITH MY PA.

PA WANTS A SON REAL BAD.

AND THAT'S ABOUT IT.

HMM.

WELL, THAT'S A PRETTY BIG ORDER.

BUT GOD CAN DO ANYTHING.

WELL, THAT'S TRUE ENOUGH.

HE CAN DO IT, ALL RIGHT,

IF THAT'S WHAT
HE THINKS IS BEST.

OH, IT IS.

I EXPLAINED TO HIM ABOUT MY
HAVING MEAN THOUGHTS AND ALL,

AND I GUESS THAT'S WHY
HE TOOK MY BROTHER...

KIND OF BY MISTAKE
BECAUSE OF ME.

MY BROTHER COULDN'T
HAVE ANY MEAN THOUGHTS.

HE WAS TOO LITTLE.

WELL, NOW, DON'T THINK YOU'RE
ANY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER FOLKS.

I MEAN, EVERYBODY HAS A
MEAN THOUGHT ONCE IN A WHILE.

NOT MY MA AND PA.

WELL, MAYBE JUST A LITTLE ONE,

BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS
THAT YOU MAKE THINGS RIGHT...

THAT YOU DO GOOD THINGS
TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT,

LIKE TAKING CARE
OF THAT LITTLE BIRD.

NOW, SOME FOLKS WOULD JUST
WALK ON BY AND NOT DO A THING.

I COULDN'T DO THAT.

OF COURSE NOT.

BUT SOME FOLKS WOULD.

ALWAYS IN A HURRY.

TOO BUSY TO THINK ABOUT
ANOTHER OF GOD'S CREATURES.

ALWAYS TOO BUSY
SPENDING ALL THEIR TIME

THINKING ABOUT THEMSELVES.

I BET THAT MAKES GOD ANGRY.

ANGRY, YES...

BUT MOSTLY SAD.

I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT GOD
BEING SAD JUST LIKE PEOPLE.

GOT TO GO TALK TO HIM NOW.

JONATHAN?

IF HE ANSWERS ME AND
EVERYTHING WORKS OUT ALL RIGHT,

I WON'T BE SEEING YOU ANYMORE.

I WANTED YOU TO KNOW
THAT EXCEPT FOR MY DOG JACK

AND MR. EDWARDS,
YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND.

THANK YOU, LAURA.

BUT WHATEVER HAPPENS,
WE'LL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN.

CHILD LIKE THAT MAKES IT
ALL WORTHWHILE, DOESN'T IT?

Edwards: LAURA!

LAURA!

[HORSE SNORTS]

[HORSE SNORTS]

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
REST THESE HORSES AWHILE.

YEAH.

SHE'S GOING TO CROSS
THIS RIVER, SHE'D DO IT HERE.

THERE'S NOTHING UP THAT
WAY BUT HIGH COUNTRY.

[HORSE SNORTS]

I THINK OUR BEST BET'S
HEAD DOWNSTREAM.

WELL, I'LL FILL THE CANTEENS.

[SOBBING]

EDWARDS!

IT'S LAURA'S. IT HAS TO BE.

IT CAME FROM UPSTREAM.

ANY LUCK, LAURA?

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.

HE JUST WON'T LISTEN.

I PRAYED AS HARD AS I COULD.

WELL, LIKE I TOLD YOU, HE'S
GOT A LOT OF THINGS TO DO.

BUT IT'S BEEN 3 DAYS NOW.

MAYBE HE JUST DOESN'T
WANT TO TALK TO ME

BECAUSE OF ALL THE
BAD THINGS I'VE DONE.

NO, CHILD. NO. HE'S FORGIVING.

HE HAS TO BE, OR HE WOULDN'T
HAVE ANYONE ELSE TO TALK TO.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.

[SIGHS]

MAYBE I'M NOT CLOSE ENOUGH.

THERE ARE LOTS OF HIGHER
PLACES IN THE BIG WOODS.

THAT'S WHERE I LIVED
WHEN I WAS LITTLE.

THAT'S IT. THAT MUST BE IT.

I GOT TO GO THERE...

UP HIGH, WHERE THE
SNOW NEVER MELTS.

WELL, NOW, UH, HOLD IT A MINUTE.

I MEAN, UH, BEFORE YOU DO THAT,

WE CAN TRY ONE MORE THING.

WHAT?

YEAH, WHAT?

HMM...

FIRST OF ALL, WE GOT TO GET
THE LORD'S ATTENTION, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

RIGHT.

THEN WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING

THAT HE CAN SEE
CLEAR UP TO HEAVEN.

BUT WHAT?

UH... I'VE GOT IT!

A FIRE. A GREAT BIG FIRE!

NOT JUST A LITTLE CAMPFIRE,
BUT A GREAT BIG FIRE.

HE'S BOUND TO SEE THAT.

THAT'S IT, JONATHAN, A FIRE!

COME ON, HONEY. WE GOT A
LOT OF FIREWOOD TO GATHER

'CAUSE WE GOT TO KEEP THAT
FIRE GOING UNTIL HE ANSWERS YOU.

HE'S GOT TO ANSWER THIS TIME,
JONATHAN. HE'S JUST GOT TO!

HE WILL. YOU TAKE
JONATHAN'S WORD FOR IT.

HE WILL.

COME ON. HA HA HA!

Edwards: INGALLS!

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?

COME ON!

HE'S BOUND TO SEE IT.

HE MUST BE WATCHING US NOW.

HE IS. GO TALK TO HIM, CHILD.

Charles: TOO STEEP
FOR THE HORSES.

I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT.

IT WOULD MAKE MY PA
SO HAPPY AND ME, TOO.

I'M RIGHT UP HERE
BY THE BIG FIRE,

SO PLEASE, GOD, ANSWER ME.

AMEN.

Charles: LAURA!

LAURA!

LAURA!

LAURA!

[WHISPERING] Pa...

No, Pa, no.

NO, CHILD.

LET ME GO, PLEASE.

I DON'T WANT PA TO FIND
ME UNTIL GOD ANSWERS.

HE HAS ANSWERED.

NO, HE HASN'T.

HE HAS ANSWERED, AND
HE'S MADE HIS DECISION.

THAT'S WHY HE SENT YOUR PA.

HE WANTS YOU TO BE WITH YOUR PA

AND YOUR BROTHER TO BE WITH HIM.

THAT ISN'T WHAT I
WANTED. PA WANTS A SON.

NO, CHILD. THAT'S WHAT
YOU THOUGHT HE WANTED.

ONLY GOD KNOWS BEST
ABOUT THESE THINGS.

THAT'S WHY HE SENT YOUR PA HERE,

BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT YOUR
PA LOVES YOU AND NEEDS YOU.

HOW ELSE COULD YOUR
FATHER HAVE FOUND YOU?

HOW CAN YOU BE SURE?

HE TOLD ME, CHILD.

GO TO HIM, LAURA.

[NO AUDIO]

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

WHY? WHY DID YOU DO IT?

I THOUGHT YOU NEEDED
CHARLES MORE THAN ME.

HOW COULD YOU THINK THAT?

I JUST DID.

I'M SORRY.

I'M SO SORRY. IT WAS MY FAULT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW.

GOD WANTS ME TO BE WITH YOU.

HE TOLD JONATHAN.

JONATHAN?

HE WAS RIGHT HERE. JONATHAN?

JONATHAN?

JONATHAN!

JONATHAN?

JONATHAN?

JONATHAN!

HE WAS JUST HERE.

WHY WOULD HE GO?

HE TOOK CARE OF ME.

THE BIRD'S GONE, TOO.

DID HE GIVE YOU THIS?

MY CROSS.

JONATHAN MADE IT FOR ME.

WHERE DID YOU FIND IT?

MILES DOWN THE RIVER.

HEAVEN'S TEARS.

WHAT?

SOMETHING JONATHAN TOLD ME.

GOD TALKED TO HIM, PA.

HE REALLY DID.

LET'S GO HOME.
