Nate.

Nate, come on.

It's time to go.

Nate?

Can't be late, can we?

What's this?

My grandfather's compass.

I've never seen it look so...

You know, this has been
in my family...

Family forever.

I know.

Nate?

Since when does he scrub in?

He's going to crack if he keeps

pushing himself like this.

Evan's pretty solid;
He'll get through this.

You ever lose
someone that close?

I don't think
you can ever get past it.

Hey, pal.

Hey, Marty.

When you taking off
for the coast?

Uh, not sure.

I have some top-secret info
that may cheer you up.

Oh, yeah?

Connelly's retiring.

Really?

I just heard.

He's announcing
in a couple of days.

Make me the youngest head
of pediatrics in the country.

Unless they go with MacKenzie.

No, no, this is mine.

Didn't hear it from me.

Of course not.

Thanks, Martin.

Very impressive, Dr. Gibbs.

You've published
more than I have.

You have good rapport
with your patients.

Thank you, sir.

And plenty of experience
for someone so young.

You're more than qualified

to head the pediatrics unit.

Thank you.

How are things at home, Evan?

Fine, sir.

Well...

Losing Beth has been...

Been hard on Nate and I, but...

But we're adjusting well,
and we're fine.

We're well on the road
to recovery.

Being a doctor is more

than treating ailments

and publishing papers, Evan.

At its core,
it's about healing...

Healing the body,

healing the mind,
and affecting the people

that come to us
with their trust.

You are the right person
for this position,

probably my top choice.

I just don't think your head
is in the right place,

and Dr. MacKenzie
has expressed interest.

He is equally qualified,

although I think I know a way
you can lock this up.

Really?

If you're willing to...

Whatever I need to do,

I'll...

Any plans for this summer?

No.

You sure?

Not this summer.

Good, then.

Can you turn the TV down
and take off your mask

for a second?

Now, I know this might be
a little disappointing for you,

but you're just going
to have to trust

that I know what's best
for us right now.

We're going to go somewhere else
for our summer vacation

this year.

But we always go to the coast.

I know, and that's why

we're going to try
someplace new this year.

A little place.

It's up in the mountains.

It's north Carolina.

It's apparently beautiful.

North Carolina?

Dunn's rock, to be exact.

Why?

Well, there's this little town
that needs my help,

and if I help them,
when I get back,

then I get the job

that I've always wanted.

You're going to be working?

No, not all the time.

No, not as much as I do here.

It's a vacation.

I know, Nate.

You're not supposed

to work on vacations.

But this is the best thing
for both of us,

in the long run, and...

Mommy never would have
let this happen.

Come on, Nate.

I'm just right across the hall
if you need anything.

Good night, Nate.

Good night.

I gotta go meet my new nurse
and the mayor.

There's some stuff
for sandwiches

in the fridge for lunch.

I'm going to see
if the mayor knows anyone

who can stop by
and check in on you.

And I'll hit the market

and pick up some food
for dinner later.

Okay, see you later.

Crack!

Perfect.

Hello?

Hello!

You must be Dr. Gibbs.

You were told

the mayor is coming
this morning, right?

I've been trying to figure out
this coffee machine,

which I'm sure is about

and I can't even find
the light switch.

Oh, good.

Thank you.

I'm not sure how you're used
to doing things around here,

but while I'm doctor,
being late is unacceptable.

We are going to be on time
in this office.

Can you smell that?

There's some kind
of an animal in here.

We're lucky the mayor's late.

Um, I'm not your...

And dressing like that

is not acceptable either.

This is a professional office,

and we will act like it.

We're not a hay barn.

A hay barn?

Also, I keep
a very close inventory

of all the medications
on the premises.

I'm sure it won't be a problem,

but I'm just letting you know

that I keep track of every pill.

I'm not your nurse.

You're not?

Nope.

Maggie's your nurse.
She'll be here tomorrow.

She's taking care of her mama

this morning.

And who are you?

I'm Terry Hudson.

Terry Hudson, the...

The mayor.

Right, your boss.

Mayor Terry Hudson.

The one writing
your recommendation.

So you're... you're not a man.

Coffee?

I'm not sure how you do things

way up there in Chicago,
Dr. Gibbs,

but down here in Dunn's rock,

if you act superior
and condescending,

folks tend not to come around.

And most folks
don't like doctors

to begin with,

don't trust them.

Some kids here haven't seen
a doctor in ten years

for some reason or another,
and I am trying to change that,

so it does not help matters

if the ones that do come in here

wind up getting scolded
by the big-city doctor

with a fancy car.

Now, that smell
you're talking about,

that's raccoon... poop

I will have somebody
take care of that for you

unless you feel like you're able
to take care of it yourself.

No.

Good.

You hungry?

Uh... perfect.

I'm taking you to breakfast.

Oh, and, by the way,

these are my good jeans.

Are you kidding me?

No TV?

Hey, there, susie.

So when'd you get in?

Last night.

My son and I flew in from...

Roger, hey,
town meeting's coming up.

Be sure and bring your brother.

Roger here owns
the only hardware store in town.

He's a good man to know.

So you have a son.

How old?

He just turned ten. Oh!

He's a little miffed...

Aw.

Hey, there, Lucy.

Morning, Terry.

Everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Thanks.

Well, that's interesting.

Are you even listening
to anything...

Hey, there, Julie.

Did you read the newsletter?

I absolutely did.
It was wonderful.

Thank you so much.

Julie,

this is Dr. Gibbs.

He's down from Chicago.

He's going to run
the clinic this summer.

Just for the summer, huh?

He's got a ten-year-old son.

Right? What's his name?

Nate.

Well, welcome to Dunn's rock.

I'll have to bring pie by
or somethin...

Okay.

Well, I'll let you two chat.

See you at the meetin'.

So...

Are you always this social?

I don't know what you mean.

How do you accomplish
anything around here

when you're constantly
being distracted?

This is how I get things done.

Coffee?

Hey, susie. Thank you.

So what do you think
of the clinic?

Well, besides a good cleaning
and some serious handiwork,

I'm going to need
some basic supplies:

Meds, new door locks.

I need some basic equipment:

A doppler, a defibrillator.

I don't remember seeing

a sphygmomanometer.

I'm a scientist.

I can't be expected to perform

without the appropriate tools.

You're likely going
to have to improvise

a little bit, Dr. Gibbs,

the sphygno-whatever-meter
and most of the rest of it.

You can call it a BP cuff

it just takes blood pressure.

Well, that's very nice,

but this town has a cap
on medical spending,

and we've already reached it.

There's no budget
for the clinic?

Around here,

there's a lot of making do
with what you got.

There's nothing in there, mayor.

If this is going
to work, Dr. Gibbs,

you're going to have
to work with us.

All these people need

is proper care and guidance.

I'm not a camp counselor.

I've been practicing medicine
for nine years

at the top hospitals
in the state.

Yes, I know
you're very qualified.

I treat patients,

mayor.

They come to me sick and broken,
and I heal them,

or I find someone who can.

To do this, I require
the tools of my trade,

like a plumber

or a carpenter.

It's black and white.

That is some pompous,
bureaucratic, conveyor belt

health care crap
that I can't stand.

There is nothing black and white
about this town, Dr. Gibbs.

Now, all I am asking you to do

is to sit across a desk
or stand in a room

and pretend that the person
across from you,

who is sick and afraid,
who needs your help

and doesn't know how
to ask for it,

actually means something.

Okay.

Really?

Yeah.

Under these conditions,
I'm not sure

what I can achieve
in such a short time,

but I do need
a good recommendation from you,

so...

I'll do what I can.

Good.

Okay.

Maggie will be by tomorrow.

She'll help you get set up.

And I will send somebody by

to fix the place up
a little bit,

a handyman of sorts.

I need someone to check in
on my son

while I'm at the clinic.

I've got a daughter his age.

I'll get her and a friend
to stop by.

I was thinking

more like an adult.

I will see what I can find.

Any day now, right?

Your baby's in position.

You should go into labor
any time.

I guess.

I'm the new pediatrician.

Well, I'm just here
for the summer.

Nate?

Hey, Nate, are you home?

Nate?

Can we get atv?

This sucks.

Hey.

You must be the... the handy guy.

A long way from the city,
ain't it?

Can I help you guys
with something?

Are you hurt?

I'm the new doctor.

I'm here to fix...

Animals.

Oh.

That's real funny, Terry.

Hello?

Oh, hello.

You must be Dr. Gibbs.

I got most of the crap
swept upr,

but I still can't find
that stinky little rodent.

Are you the nurse?

I ain't the maid.

Maggie Perkins.
Pleased to meet you.

You too. Uh-huh.

Well, Terry, she told me

about your professionalism
and all,

and just let me say this.

I've been a nurse for 14 years,

a mother for 23.

I've buried two husbands,

and I'm working on my third.

So if you can think it,

I've seen it
or I've probably done it,

and you don't need
to worry about me.

Okay. All right.

And if you need anything,

I can probably help you find it,

or somebody I know will,

because I'm pretty well
dug in around here.

Well, that's good to know.

Oh, there's a guy passed out
on the front step.

Oh, slider, he's harmless.

Terry thought it'd be
a good idea

to make use of him,

and that's mighty kind
of you, Dr. Gibbs.

That's her handyman?

Oh, well,
he'll sober up by noon.

We'll put him to work.

So what's on the books today?

Well, nothing so far,

but we'll see
how the day plays out.

There is nothing scheduled?

Well, this ain't Chicago,
Dr. Gibbs.

You're on mountain time now.

I got coffee brewing,

and there's a paper
in the office.

Why don't you

just settle in?

That has to be
the new doctor's kid.

We were wonderin' if you wanted

to come out and play.

What are you doin'?

Get up here.

Hi, I'm Chris, and this is Fred.

Hi.

What's your name?

Nate.

You and your family
livin' here now?

Just for a little while.

Where is everybody?

My dad's at work,

and I don't have a mom anymore.

That's okay.

I don't have a dad,

and Fred lives with his uncle.

So you wanna come oout?

Maybe some other time.

Catch ya later.

Ow!

Afternoon, sir.

Are you okay?

Much better now, thanks.

Name's slider.

You must be the new doc.

Yes.

I'm Dr. Gibbs.

Yeah, well, I got some
medical experience of my own,

so I don't want you

to try no funny stuff
around here.

Whilst I'm here,

I might do
some fixing up for you...

As well.

So where do I start?

Uh...

Well, I guess the front step.

Good, then.

Maggie.

Slider.

Yup.

Looks broke to me.

Where are you going?

Need my tools.

Oh, beautiful day, isn't it?

Is he coming back?

Hard to say.

Okay.

Can't rightly help it, doc.

She has them grandma seejurs.

I'm not familiar with those.

You know, yelping and twitching

and wetting herself
right there on the ground.

You mean grand mal seizures.

That's what I said.

Last time, she almost
choked on a fry.

Well, other than that,
she seems fine.

I can give you
some antiseizure medicines

that might help her.

Come on, now.

Let's go into the other room

while I talk
some business with doc.

I'll see you.

This visit here,

how much it gonna cost?

Without insurance, it's $75.

Hmm, well, I haven't got
the insurance,

but here's the deal.

I can't pay for both you

and the pills, one or the other.

Now, I would have done
without you altogether

and just got the pills,

but then they would have had
something to say about that

over at the cvs.

So here's what
we're going to do.

Why don't you work this out
with Maggie?

No, this is between you and me,

man to man.

Now, you helped coralee there,
and I mean to pay you for it.

I mean to pay you in futures.

Futures?

Cucumber futures.

As payment for today,
you get shares.

When the cukes come upr,
you come pick 'em.

All you want, all summer long.

All right. You got a deal.

I got some papers
for you to sign.

Shares in futures.

Welcome to Dunn's rock, doctor.

We went by the house today.

Oh, did you meet
the new doctor's kid?

Sorta.

He's kind of weird.

How do you mean?

He wouldn't come outside.

Oh, honey, he's just adjusting.

Give him time.

Juvenile heart valve Grant?

Where'd he pull that out of?

I don't know.

The board's extremely impressed
with him.

Yeah, that is impressive.

I'm going to have
to up the stakes here.

I'm going to need
a glowing review from the mayor.

That should lock it up.

You'd think, right?

Remember me?

What do you want?

You look like you could use
some help with that big box.

I don't.

I could give you a ride.

What's your name?

Sally.

Sally. I'm Dr. Gibbs.

Or, if you want,

I could just
drive the box somewhere.

What's in the box?

Hand-me-downs.

That's a lot of clothes.

Well, we ain't sure
if it's a girl or a boy,

but I grabbed both.

Darryl thinks it's a boy,

but that's just
'cause he wants one.

Darryl?

My husband.

You seem awfully young
to be getting married.

I'm 20, almost.

Well, it ain't official yet,
but we make like it is

'cause of the baby and all.

Even got a ring.

Wow, that's beautiful.

Darryl at work?

Kind of works when he's needed.

Why isn't he helping you
with the clothes?

He and my folks
don't see eye to eye,

so he's not welcome round there.

Up there on the right.

No, no, I got it from here.

What do we got here?

This is the new doctor.

Yeah, we met.

How much this gonna cost me,
Mr. big-shot?

No charge, Darryl.

All righty.

Guess we'll see you
around, then.

Nice to meet you, too, Darryl.

You have a nice day.

Nate?

I heard noises.

You want to check it out?

Come on.

It's just an old house, Nate.

There's nothing down here

to be afraid of.

Hey, this is Dr. Sumner's
old house.

We better keep out
of this stuff, Nate.

No problem.

Did anybody stop by today?

Some kids.

Did you play with them?

Why not?

Wasn't up for it.

Maybe tomorrow?

Maybe.

Step's fixed.

Yeah, when did that happen?

Sometime last night, I figure.

Where's he now?

Thud!

Ow!

Just checking the floorboards.

They're solid.

So...

What's next, doc?

Whatever needs fixing, slider.

Just look around and find out
whatever's broken or unkempt.

I'm on it.

Maggie.

Morning, slider.

You go on any adventures?

Adventures?

We go on 'em all the time.

Ain't that right, Fred?

Well, me and Fred
are heading into town

to get some ice cream.

Wanna come?

Sure.

What are you doin'?

Don't be scared.

Come on.

Guess there aren't
too many forests

where you come from, huh?

No.

Only parks.

Fred uncle's says
there's magic in the forest.

Says it's the only place left.

Ain't that right, Fred?

Magic? Yeah.

It gives us our powers.

We haven't found
where it comes from yet, though.

But I think it lives
deep into the forest

around any path we use.

What would happen
if you found it?

I would think
just about anything.

Depends on your power, though.

What's yours?

I don't have one.

Sure, you do.

You just don't know it.

Fred talks to the wind
and can make the clouds move,

and I talk to the animals.

Really?

You have a power.

We'll help you find it.

Hey, Julie.

What can I do for you?

Oh, Terry wanted me
to drop off this letter

for the good doctor.

Oh, I can take it for him.

Oh, no, no, I also have
this pie that I baked.

Sort of welcoming present.

Is he around?

Yeah, go on back.

Hey, doc.

=

I'm Julie.

We met the other day
at the diner.

Oh, yeah, right, right.

How are you?

Oh, I'm sick.

I need a checkup.

Really?

No.

But I can be.

Thanks for the pie.

Any time.

It's from the mayor.

Oh.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Well, I appreciate you
coming by,

and thank you for the pie.

It's very sweet.

And if you need anything at all,

you just give me a call, now.

Terry said you might be
looking for a sitter.

Would that be for you
or your boy?

Don't pay them any attention.

Oh, look.

What do we got here?

Looks like the mute

and his boyfriend
found themselves a stray.

Stuff it, Tommy.

Who are you?

You related to these freaks?

Looks like we got us
another mute.

You're the new doc's kid,
ain't you?

We got us a real

big-city boy.

I hear kids from the city
are tough.

That true?

Leave him alone, Tommy.

You gonna have a girl do
your fighting for ya?

These guys are wimps.

Let's hit the hole.

Later, girls.

That's Tommy.

He's a problem.

Okay, people!

People, settle! Settle!

Settle!

Okay.

Now, I think this has been
very productive.

As I understand it,

Roger's going to donate
some material

for the holes on old cedar road.

Rick and his crew,

time permitting,
are gonna fix and fill them.

Okay.

Now, everything's covered
for the summer set-off.

Oh, y'all,
let's keep off the grass.

It took a year
to regrow properly.

All right?

And do not forget,

the new softball league
fund-raiser's coming up.

I expect to see y'all there.

And, finally...

Now, I know some of y'all
have been approaching me

about the new clinic.

Ah.

Ain't needed, and that's all.

And that's all!

Settle!

Tonight,

I would like to introduce you
to the new doctor,

who's going to get
the whole thing off the ground.

Dr. Gibbs?

He ain't welcome.

Rick.

If anybody has any questions,
now would be the...

Before there are any questions,

let me just say
what a privilege it is

to be able to come

to a quaint little town
such as Dunn's rock,

where my knowledge
and experience

can and should be exploited
to the fullest.

Oh, this should be good.

I've been practicing medicine
for nine years,

and I'm board certified
in pediatrics.

In layman's terms, that means

that I'm a doctor
for children...

In case any of you weren't sure.

I can field any questions now.

I've heard about
these town meetings before,

and [I've seen them on TV,

but to sit through one
is really...

Quite a treat.

I must say I appreciate

the simplicity
of your lifestyle,

to not have to worry
about anything

except for a bake sale
or potholes.

But there is a health risk
associated

with lack of education.

Regular checkups

are not only important but also

informative.

Have you heard the one

about the two rednecks
and the rooster?

Uh, Dr. Gibbs?

That's good.

Okay.

Okay.

I want to thank you all so much

for coming out tonight.

Have a good one.

Um, Evan?

Can you wait for me?

I'll just be a minute.

It's going to be fine.

Have a good night.

May I call you "Evan"?

Of course.

That was quite a speech.

I got nervous.

Doesn't usually happen to me.

It's a rough crowd.

But they're good people.

The flyers?

Not so good.

I'm at a loss.

Evan, look around you.

What do you see?

An empty parking lot.

Trees.

Stars.

The trees,
you see how they move?

The stars and the trees,

how does that make you feel?

I don't know.

Calm, I guess.

That's it right there.

You think they ought
to make you feel calm,

but you don't actually feel it.

The people around here,

they see and feel
different things.

They move at a different pace.

There's a pulse.

And until you can open to it,

you're never gonna gain
their trust.

I'm not sure
I know how to do that.

It just takes time.

Hopefully, you'll
stick around long enough.

You okay?

Yeah, but this is
a little weird, isn't it?

What about surgery?

Surgery would be ineffective.

The goal now

is to prolong life

with as little suffering
as possible.

I'm going to find a way
to beat this.

Dad?

Are you okay?

Yeah, of course.

Anything yet?

Nope.

Maybe I'm not doing it right.

It might take some time,
'cause you're a city kid.

Does that makes a difference?

I think so.

Besides, you didn't even know
about special powers.

Let's head to the hole.

Isn't that where
those jerks hang out?

There.

Well,

what we got here?

Don't look sick to me.

Oh, ignore him.

You come on in. Come on.

Doc?

Would you mind
your own business,

you skanky old fool?

People in this community
is my business, Maggie.

Where's the doctor?

He's in with a patient!

Doctor!

I'm with a patient.

Doctor, it's Sally.

She's having the baby!

All right, calm down.

It's all messed up!

I mean, I don't know...

We... we been trying all night.

Trying what?

And now...

The cord...

The cord is all tangled up.

And... and she's bleeding.
She's bleeding.

Where is she?

Well, she can't walk very fast.

What? I ran ahead.

Come on!

Be here in 15.

And 15 back? That's no good.

Keep her still.

It hurts!

It hurts, doc!

Okay, Sally?

The umbilical cord is twisted.

That's a bad sign.

It's very dangerous
for you and your baby.

We're going to have
to get your baby out.

I'm going to perform
a simple operation.

It's called a c-section.

C-section? Why?

It's the only way we can get
your baby out safely.

It's a simple incision.

We take your baby out,
and we stitch you up

that's surgery.

We don't have the paperwork
for that; We can't.

Yes, we can.

I'm saving this baby.

Okay, honey, I'm just going to...

You're gonna feel
a little pinch here, all right?

What is that?

It's anesthetic.

Shouldn't we just wait
for the ambulance?

If we do, one of them
will die, maybe both.

Darryl, we need you
to watch her pulse.

Oh, god. Oh, god.

Darryl, I need you
to stay with me.

You need to rub
and squeeze her fingers

and watch her pulse.

Can you do that?
It's very important.

Yeah.

Darryl?

Darryl!

Just let him go. He's useless.

Sally, you're gonna feel
a little bit of pressure.

Okay?

I'll try to make this
as painless as possible.

Stay with us.

They're just in there...

I know.

Oh, god.

Slider, you get on over there,

and you wash your hands
real good!

You're going to help us now!

Now, slider!

My baby.

You sick?

No.

You havin' a baby?

Stay with us, Sally.

Yeah.

They do that here?

You're doing great, Sally.

You're doing great.

I guess so.

You hear that?

Something else, ain't it?

They're in there.

Shouldn't you go see?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Nice and gentle.

There we go.

The umbilical cord was wrapped

around the baby's neck,
so we did a c-section.

You want to get her on l.V.
As soon as you can

and check her levels;
She lost a lot of blood.

There's a deformity
along the spine.

It's spina bifida.

Boy or girl?

I don't know.

Shouldn't you ride with them?

Yes, sir.

Pardon me.

This is a good test.

Now, think of how
you'd get back at Tommy,

if you could.

Okay, I would probably...

No, no, no, no, no.

You can't tell us.

It's like a wish.

If you share it,
it won't come true.

Think it really hard.

If you have any power,
it'll happen.

Okay, done.

Now what?

We wait and see.

It doesn't always happen
right away.

You having fun here?

Do you need a sitter?

I can handle it.

You're growing up so fast.

Nate, I want to...
I want to talk to you about...

Gentlemen.

Can I help you?

We were sent for you.

You best come with us.

It's urgent.

I ain't taking "no"
for an answer.

Dad?

It's okay, Nate.

Go inside.

I'm just going to go
with these men

for a little bit.

Nate, go inside.

You better be as
good as they say you are.

I think I know

what the problem is,
if he has a...

Ah, just as I thought.

It's atick bite.

That would explain the rash
and the symptoms.

Can you make him better?

Not here.

We do have meds at the clinic

that would help him temporarily,

but he will have to go
to a hospital

in asheville if you
want this to clear up.

Is he gonna die?

No.

Only if untreated.

I appreciate it.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

What did they want?

Oh, it was akid, about your age.

Tommy. He was really sick.

He needed some help.

You know this kid?

Is he okay?

Well, he's going to be fine.

They're taking him
to the hospital in asheville.

I'm as surprised as you.

Slider?

Morning, doc.

Is everything all right, slider?

It's a fine morning, doc.

They fixed
that baby girl up, right?

There is a neural tube defect.

Is that bad?

She's going to need a number
of expensive procedures,

and even then, it's not certain
how long she'll last.

She's a fighter; I can tell.

Four appointments today.

Word's getting out.

I heard your dad saved
Tommy, Sally, and her baby

all in one day.

He did? Yeah.

I overheard someone talking
to mom about him.

He's gotta have some kind
of special powers

to save people like that.

I don't know.

You don't think?

He couldn't save my mom.

True.

Okay, here we are.

Fred and I have talked,
and we agree

that you'd make
a good addition to our club.

What club?

It's asecret club.

Once you're in,
you're in for good.

But I'm not going
to be here too long.

Nobody ever leaves
Dunn's rock, Nate.

But what if I did?

It doesn't matter.

No matter where you are,
you'll be one of us.

Good.

Means now we can show you
our secret fort.

You have a secret fort?

Of course.

What's a club
without a secret fort?

Yeah, you're going to have
to see a dentist.

Ain't that you?

Uh, I can give you
a list of dentists.

You can always go

to the asheville
children's hospital

if money's an issue.

Okay, hop down.

Thank you. You're welcome.

What are the chances

they actually go to a dentist?

They came to
see you, didn't they?

Oh, good day, Terry.

Mayor.

The place looks great.

I take it slider's been busy.

Yeah, I'm surprised.

He really paid off

I'm not.

I just stopped by

because I've been getting
some applicants

for the new position
here at the clinic.

I was hoping you'd look at them,

maybe give me
your recommendation.

Yeah.

I'll take a look at them
and get back to you.

And I heard about what happened
the other day with Sally.

You know you could be sued.

I would have lost them both.

I had to make a decision...

I'm here

to thank you, both of you.

Y'all took a huge risk
to save that baby,

so...

Thank you.

All right, well,
I expect to see you both

at the summer set-off tomorrow.

Oh, I wouldn't miss it.

The what?

I got it.

Hi, Nate. Come on.

Is it okay?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, doc.

You save a dance for me,
now, ya hear?

Well, well. You made it.

You look great, mayor.

Oh, call me Terry;
I'm not working tonight.

Mom, this is Nate.

Oh, it's so nice to meet ya.

I've heard so much about ya.

= =

I'm Nate's dad.

The doctor.

Yeah, we know.

What?

Aren't you going to dance?

I'm just going
to catch my breath.

Hey, doc.

Oh, she's beautiful.

What's her name?

April.

You did a great job, doc.

I can't thank you enough.

Isn't she precious?

I'll swing by next week
and check her out.

Oh, you don't got to do that.

I got a truck now.

Well,

Rick loaned me one of his

till I'm up and running.

Tossed me some work too.

You sound like
a changed man, Darryl.

Slider, is that you?

Can I see her?

She's a very special
little girl.

You're telling me.

Simple things, Dr. Gibbs.

You can call me Evan.

Hmm.

Walk around.

Now come on.

You dance?

Not very well.

What is it with men and dancing?

Well, for me, it's about

not wanting to fall on my face
in public.

Was your husband

the same way?

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's off-limits.

No.

It's okay.

My wife loved to dance.

She would have liked you.

Sounds like she had great taste.

How long has it been?

Three months.

Wow.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, me too.

I really miss her.

You?

Nine years.

Does it get any easier?

You would think.

J if you could look behind... j

you know, this is
a little bit more my pace.

Are you asking me to dance?

I am.

$s

J since I took that fateful... j

and I'll apologize ahead of time

for stepping on your toes.

J and I washed up
on your shore. J

you know, you've certainly made
an impact on our town.

Good or bad?

Time will tell.

Your daughter seems very sweet.

Oh, she's a handful.

Like her mom.

J and I will be there »

j when no one else is there. 2»

jand I will be... >

I want to thank you.

What for?

For your insight

and your Patience.

J ..Bethe one j

j like I'm the one for you. »

j the kind that never leave, »

j a love that will not be

j and in my final days, 7»

j I'd give my last breath away j

j just to lay there

j this one isn't over yet. 2»

You made some new friends.

What do you guys do all day?

Go on adventures.

Adventures, huh?

Hello.

Hey.

We're going for a hike
in the woods.

Want to come?

Sure.

Oh, of course.

Uh, we were kind of hoping

that you'd both come along.

Oh.

Sure.

Why don't you just
come inside for a sec?

I'll grab some drinks
and snacks.

No.

I'm... I'm just going
to wait here.

It's such a nice day out
and all.

Just put all that in a pack.

Hello?

Hey, Evan.

Hey, Marty.

How are things in nowheresville?

Oh, you know.
It's been a struggle.

Well, I wouldn't waste
any more time down there.

Why? What's up?

MacKenzie dropped out
of the running.

What happened?

He took his Grant elsewhere.

I think he knew you were going
to clinch it anyway.

That's great.

Well, as soon as I get
the call from Sumner,

then I'll start packing.

You can't leave.

You gotta do something.

Hey, Nate.

Hey, it looks like
we might be heading back

earlier than expected.

You guys go on ahead.

You're not coming?

No, no, I've got some stuff
to get ready.

I'm going to stay behind.

Something come up?

Yeah, got some work to do.

You can't work
all the time, doc.

I know.

Have a good hike.

All right. Ready?

You can't let him leave, mom.

I don't have
any control over that.

But you're the mayor.

Honey, I wouldn't worry
about it.

Things have a way
of working out.

Hello?

Hey, grandpa.

Yeah, she's on the porch.

Thanks, honey.

Hey, dad.

Yeah, everything's fine.

Dr. Gibbs is getting there.

He's just starting to open up

how's Chicago?

Well, eunice, if it hurts
when you do that,

don't do that.

Morning, doc.

I was just checking
on some symptoms here for you.

Five appointments

this afternoon.

It's for you, Dr. Gibbs!

Bye-bye, now, Dr. Sumner.

Dr. Sumner.

Dr. Gibbs, I hear
you're almost up and running.

Yes, sir.

It seems that way.

So what do you think
of Dunn's rock?

Uh, well, it's...

It's been an eye-opener.

I just called

to let you know
that the head of pediatrics

is yours if you want it.

That's great.

That's great news.

No rush, though.

The job will be waiting for you
when you get back,

so take your time,

and get that clinic on its feet.

Will do.

Thank you.

Thank you, doctor,
for everything you've done.

You deserve it, Evan.

Okay, bye.

Nate!

Where you at?

Nate, last chance!

We're headin' out.

He wouldn't leave without us.

Let's just wait here.

He'll be back soon.

It's got to be out there.

April?

April?

April, April.

What's wrong? Baby.

April?

I... l think something's wrong.

April, April.

Darryl?

April, no, no, no, no.

Why ain't she waking up?

Oh, god. Oh, god.

When's the next appointment?

Two hours.

Fix her.

You... you gotta fix her.

You gotta do something.

What's happening?

She's... she's not breathing.

You gotta... you gotta
do something.

I can't.

You just go in there
and give her some medicine.

I can't.

What are you doing?
What are you...

Ma... give us... Maggie,
give her some medicine.

You gotta fix her!

Darryl.

You... you gotta...

No, Darryl, no, no!

Fix her!

Fix her!

No!

Let me go!

I'm sorry, Darryl.

It's about time.

Where's Nate?

I don't know. Nate not at home?

No.

Nate?

Nate?

Oh, no.

Hey, Terry, it's Evan.

Um...

Ll... I can't find my son.

Nate?

Have you guys seen Nate Gibbs,
the doctor's son?

That little twerp?

That little twerp's father
saved your life.

Now you're going
to do something for me.

He wasn't in town.

What... what's all this?

If he wasn't in
town and he's not at home,

he's in the forest,
and we're going to need

all the help that we can get.

Doc.

Thanks for coming, y'all.

I appreciate...

Let's just find your boy.

Anything you need, doc.

We checked the hole

and all the paths around it.

He ain't there.

Okay.

Everybody, grab flashlights.

Let's get going.

Good luck.

This is so...

I don't know what to say.

Come on.

Go find your boy.

Hey, Darryl, you don't have...

I ain't losing two kids
in one day, doc.

Memories all have a way
of rising up,

especially the painful ones.

Avoiding this house
ain't gonna bring him back.

I know.

Dad's at work,
figuring everything out.

I know, baby.

Do me a favor.

You need to watch over him
when I'm gone.

Dad will fix it.

Nate.

Promise me, please.

Okay.

I will. I promise.

He'll need you

to find his way.

Nate!

Can you hear us?

We're lookin' for ya.

Yo, Nate!

Hello?

Hey, dad.

Yeah, they've just set off.

No, people keep coming.

It's under control.

If they haven't found him
by nightfall,

I'll call the sheriff.

Yeah, I'm in the house.

I know.

Hey, look, I'll call you
with updates, okay?

Okay.

Bye.

Nate!

Nate!

Nate, can you hear us?

Hey, Nate, where are you?

Nate?

Nate!

Nate!

Nate, can you hear me?

Nate!

We found him! We found him!

He's over here! We found him!

He's over here!

Nate!

Nate?

He isn't breathing.

Maggie's got the emergency kit.

Maggie!

Please don't.

Please don't take him t...

Please.

Come on, Nate.

I got it.

Okay, open it up. Open it up.

Yellow top, epi pen.

Yellow top.

Come on, Nate.

Come on, Nate.

Why isn't it workin'?

Come on, Nate.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, champ, hey.

I forgot my inhaler.

Yeah.

It's okay.

It's okay. Deep breaths.

Everything's okay.

Deep breaths.

What are you doing way out here?

I wanted to find

the magic.

What? The magic?

To bring mom back.

Dad? Mm-hmm.

I like it here.

Me too.

Yeah, me too, Nate.

Your mom...

I know, dad.

But I want you

toholdonto it for now.

I love you, dad.

I love you so much, Nate.

Thank you.

Thank you all.

It's awonderful feeling.

It's for you.

Hello.

Dr. Sumner?

Everything is fine, sir.

How did you know?

Oh, Evan, I'm from Dunn's rock.

I know, sir.

I appreciate you letting us
stay in your house

while we're here.

It's not my house, Evan.

It's my daughter's.

Hello?

Hello?

Uh, yeah.

Sorry, sir.

Well, then,
I will have to thank her.

And, Evan, there's no need

to get back right away.

Take care of your boy.

Thank you, sir.

Okay.

Put my daughter on the phone.

Hey, dad.

I love you.

Okay, bye.

What?

Maggie?

Doc?

There's no one qualified
in this bunch.

Maybe tell Terry

that I'm going to stay on

until she finds
a suitable replacement.

Sure thing.

Dr. Gibbs?

Better get out here.

Coming!
