[GUN COCKING] TURN AROUND.

THIS IS AS FAR AS YOU'RE GOING.

Man: WE'VE GOT MOUNTAIN FEVER IN TOWN.

20 CASES. NOBODY GOES IN OR OUT.

I'M DR. BAKER.

DR. QUIMBY SENT FOR ME.

SENT FOR YOU, YEAH.

AND BURIED 6 WHILE WE'VE BEEN WAITING.

Man: HOLD IT!

HE ANOTHER DOC?

NO, HE'S A FRIEND.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME. I'VE HAD THE FEVER.

NO DIFFERENCE. MY ORDERS.

ONLY THE DOC COMES IN.

MAYBE IT'S JUST AS WELL, ISAIAH.

THANK YOU.

I'LL TAKE THIS.

RIGHT THIS WAY, DOC.

THEY'RE USING THE HOTEL FOR A HOSPITAL.

DOC QUIMBY'LL BE GLAD TO SEE YOU.

YOU DON'T WANT THAT COFFEE.

WHAT YOU NEED IS...IS A SHOT OF GIANT KILLER.

HA HA. NOW...

THAT'LL KEEP THE MOUNTAIN FEVER SPOTS AWAY.

WELL, I AIN'T A MAN TO SAY NO! HEH HEH.

HMPH! OH, THAT'S GOOD. THANK YOU.

HA HA HA HA.

THAT KEEPS THE SPOTS AWAY.

YEAH. IT'LL TAKE AN ANTLER OFF AN ELK!

HA! WELL, THANK YOU.

RIGHT.

NOW, YOU BEST HURRY OR YOU'LL BE LATE.

JUST WAITING FOR A KISS GOODBYE.

[LAUGHS] HOW CAN I FORGET A THING LIKE THAT?

GOOD-BYE.

Isaiah: HELLO THERE!

PA'S COMING!

HA HA!

Carl: PA! Alicia: PAPA, PAPA!

[LAUGHS]

WHOA!

OH, ISAIAH!

WHAT A WELCOMING COMMITTEE!

HEH HEH HEH.

THAT WAS A CLEAN DRESS.

NOW LOOK AT THIS.

WHAT AM I, SOME KIND OF FARMER OR SOMETHING?

OH, MORE LIKE A WAGON DUST CLOUD.

NEXT TIME YOU SAY HELLO FROM A DISTANCE,

UNTIL YOU CAN WASH UP

AND PUT ON SOME CLEAN CLOTHES.

OFF YOU GO, CHILDREN. GO ON.

WE'LL SEE YOU LATER, GO ON.

HEH HEH.

THERE'S FRESH CLOTHES ON YOUR BED.

I'LL BE WANTING THESE IN THE KETTLE

AS SOON AS YOU GET OUT OF THEM.

HOW COME IT IS THAT EVERY TIME I GET SOMETHING BROKEN IN

UNTIL IT'S REAL COMFORTABLE, YOU WANT TO POUR THE LIFE

OUT OF IT?

SURE YOU DON'T WANT ME IN THERE WITH IT?

NOT UNLESS YOU WANT A RECORD CROP OF BLISTERS!

[LAUGHS]

THERE'S WATER HEATING ON THE KITCHEN STOVE!

[CHATTERING]

CLASS, ATTENTION!

COME ON, NELLIE.

Nellie: I AM SPEAKING TO YOU.

I WOULD LIKE TO READ TO YOU TODAY.

[CLASS BOOS]

BE QUIET!

"LITTLE WILLIE WITH A SHOUT

"GOUGED THE BABY'S EYEBALLS OUT,

"STOMPED ON THEM TO MAKE THEM POP.

MOTHER CRIED, "NOW, WILLIAM, STOP!""

- [LAUGHTER] - IT DOESN'T SAY THAT.

YOU'RE MAKING THAT UP!

- DOES, TOO. Willie: DOES NOT!

DOES, TOO. HERE'S ANOTHER ONE.

"LITTLE WILLIE IN A BRIGHT NEW SASH

FELL IN THE FIRE, WAS BURNED TO AN ASH."

- [LAUGHTER] - LET ME SEE THAT!

I'M NOT FINISHED!

Miss Beadle: NELLIE! WILLIE!

TAKE YOUR SEATS.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT YOUR BEHAVIOR SOME OTHER TIME,

BUT RIGHT NOW MR. HANSON HAS SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT TO TELL YOU.

I HAVE JUST COME FROM THE EDWARDS' PLACE,

AND THE FEVER IS TAKING A LOT OF LIVES IN ELMSVILLE.

SO, AS A PRECAUTION,

I HAVE DECIDED, AS THE HEAD OF THE SCHOOL BOARD,

TO CLOSE THE SCHOOL UNTIL THIS THREAT IS OVER.

- HOORAY! - YAY!

CHILDREN!

NOW WAIT, WAIT.

CLOSING THE SCHOOL IS ONLY PART OF IT.

YOU WILL GO STRAIGHT HOME

AND YOU WILL NOT PLAY AT ONE ANOTHER'S HOMES OR FARMS.

Hanson: THIS IS A QUARANTINE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

NOW, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?

Miss Beadle: YES, NELLIE?

WHAT ABOUT SUNDAY SCHOOL?

ALL SCHOOL SERVICES ARE CANCELED

UNTIL THIS EMERGENCY IS PASSED.

WELL...

I GUESS THAT'S ALL.

- THANK YOU. - THANK YOU, MISS BEADLE.

GOOD-BYE, CHILDREN.

Class: GOOD-BYE.

NOW, I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR BOOKS AND YOUR ASSIGNMENTS,

AND GO STRAIGHT HOME,

AND STAY THERE.

DO YOU THINK THE FEVER WILL COME HERE?

LAURA, WE SHOULD PRAY TO GOD THAT IT DOESN'T.

Caroline: LAURA, YOU CAN POUR THE MILK.

YES, MA'AM.

CARRIE!

GIVE ME THIS. GIVE IT TO ME!

IT'S MINE!

LET GO! MA, SHE RUINED MY HOMEWORK!

- MINE! - LET GO!

Laura: CARRIE, STOP IT! STOP IT.

HEY, HEY, HEY, COME ON, NOW.

THAT'S ENOUGH.

LET ME HAVE THE TABLET. WHAT'S GOING ON?

I DECLARE, WITH ALL THE CHILDREN AND THE SCHOOLWORK,

THIS HOUSE IS GETTING SMALLER AND SMALLER.

Carrie: I DRAWED OUR HOUSE.

YEAH, I CAN SEE THAT.

I SEE YOU ALSO DREW THE SMOKE FROM THE CHIMNEY

RIGHT THROUGH YOUR SISTER'S ARITHMETIC HOMEWORK.

IF SHE'D ASKED, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN HER A SHEET.

NOW I HAVE TO DO MY ARITHMETIC ALL OVER AGAIN,

AND I WAS TRYING TO GET WAY AHEAD.

MM-HMM. WELL, YOU TAKE THIS TABLET AND GO SIT DOWN AT THE TABLE,

AND LOOK AT THE PROBLEMS. GO ON, SIT DOWN.

YOU DID THOSE LIKE A RUNAWAY FREIGHT TRAIN.

THERE'S 5 PROBLEMS, YOU HAD 4 OF THEM WRONG. WHAT'S YOUR HURRY?

WELL, I THOUGHT IF I GOT ALL CAUGHT UP,

AND IT WAS A NICE DAY OUT...

AH, YOU COULD GO FISHING, HUH?

I TOLD HER SHE'D HAVE TO HAVE YOUR PERMISSION.

HALF-PINT, THE REASON FOR THIS QUARANTINE

IS TO KEEP ADULTS AND CHILDREN FROM BUNCHING UP.

WELL, NO ONE WOULD BE AT THE FISHING HOLE.

WELL, YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. THERE COULD BE.

WELL, I WOULDN'T TALK TO THEM.

I WOULDN'T EVEN GO NEAR THEM. I PROMISE.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU CAN GO FISHING.

BUT ONLY WHEN YOU GET ALL THOSE PROBLEMS DONE,

AND CORRECTLY.

YOU MAKE SURE YOUR MOTHER OR I CHECK THEM, TOO.

THAT'LL BE TOMORROW.

WELL, WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH TOMORROW?

TOMORROW'S SATURDAY.

IT'D BE MORE FUN TO GO FISHING ON A SCHOOL DAY!

DON'T LOOK AT ME. SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER.

[GIGGLES]

OLD DAN TUCKER WAS A FINE OLD MAN

WASHED HIS FACE IN A FRYING PAN

SURE GOT A LOT DONE SINCE SUNUP.

SURE DID.

HEY, HOW COME IT'S SO EASY TO GET YOU UP EARLY

WHEN THERE AIN'T NO SCHOOL?

SCHOOL AIN'T NOTHING LIKE WORKING WITH YOU, PA.

BESIDES, I CAN LEARN A LOT MORE.

HEY, YOU'D BETTER NOT LET YOUR MA HEAR YOU SAY THAT.

Grace: ISAIAH!

OH, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

I DON'T WANT HER TO SEE THIS TILL IT'S FINISHED.

COME ON.

ISAIAH!

IT'S ALICIA! SHE JUST WOKE UP, AND SHE'S SICK!

SHE GOT SPOTS?

[SOBS] YES!

STAY HERE.

- PAPA. - YEAH, BABY.

I'M HERE. I'M RIGHT HERE.

OH, MY GOD.

ISAIAH.

IS IT THE FEVER?

STAY OUT OF HERE.

IT'S MY FAULT. I BROUGHT IT TO HER.

JUST LIKE I DONE BEFORE.

SECOND TIME I BROUGHT IT TO MY FAMILY.

FIRST TIME, THEY DIED, AND I WANTED TO.

LOST MY WIFE AND MY LITTLE BABY GIRL.

Isaiah: THIS IS MY FAULT.

I KNEW I COULDN'T... I KNEW I COULDN'T GET IT.

THAT'S WHY I WENT WITH DOC TO ELMSVILLE.

I COULDN'T GET IT, BUT I COULD BRING IT HOME.

JUST LIKE I DONE BEFORE.

JUST LIKE I DONE BEFORE!

OH, NO, ISAIAH, YOU DIDN'T!

[SHOUTS] I SAID STAY OUT OF HERE!

ALL RIGHT. YOU MAKE A BUNDLE.

MAKE A BUNDLE. A CLEAN NIGHTGOWN, T--TOWELS,

AND, UH, SHEETS.

I'M TAKING HER TO MY OLD CABIN.

AND YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE ARE GOING TO STAY CLEAR AWAY FROM HER.

BUT I WAS JUST WITH HER!

THAT DON'T MEAN YOU GOT IT!

GOD WILLING, YOU AIN'T.

I'VE HAD IT BEFORE. I CAN'T GET IT AGAIN.

I'M THE ONE TO TAKE CARE OF HER, AND I KNOW HOW!

NOW, STAND BACK SO I CAN BRING HER OUT.

NOW, BRING WHAT I TOLD YOU AND SOME GRUB

AND LEAVE IT OUTSIDE THE CABIN.

THEN COME BACK HERE AND DON'T LET ANYBODY NEAR YOU OR CARL

UNTIL WE'RE SURE. SCRUB THIS PLACE CLEAN.

FLOORS, WALLS, AND EVERYTHING.

I NEED ANOTHER SHEET OF PAPER.

I JUST GAVE YOU ONE.

Carrie: I USED IT.

Laura: USE THE OTHER SIDE!

Carrie: I ALREADY DID.

GIVE HER A PIECE, LAURA.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO STUDY IF YOU'RE ARGUING?

Laura: YOU GIVE HER SOME. SHE ALREADY USED HALF MY TABLET.

GIRLS, TRY TO GET ALONG.

Laura: I AM TRYING.

- GIVE THAT BACK! - NO, I NEED IT.

- GIRLS! - CARRIE, COME BACK HERE!

HEY, HEY, HEY! COME HERE!

WHAT'S GOING ON NOW?

Laura: SHE SWIPED A SHEET OF MY PAPER.

BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A TABLET.

YOU DON'T HAVE A TABLET, HUH?

I THINK IT'S TIME WE CALLED A LITTLE RECESS.

NOW, HOW MANY DAYS HAVE WE BEEN QUARANTINED?

8 OR 9.

IT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER.

SO, 9 DAYS OF QUARANTINE,

AND STILL NO FEVER IN WALNUT GROVE,

AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE ANY.

SO, INSTEAD OF YOU ALL SITTING AROUND

THE HOUSE ARGUING WITH EACH OTHER,

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A NICE WALK OVER TO THE EDWARDS' PLACE

AND SAY HELLO TO YOUR FRIENDS.

IS IT SAFE?

Charles: I DON'T SEE WHY NOT.

THAT WOULD BE A BLESSING.

Charles: ALL RIGHT. IT'S SETTLED, THEN.

NO MORE ARGUING?

- RIGHT. - PROMISE?

- YES. - YOU PROMISE?

I PROMISE.

OKAY. HEY, ON THE WAY BACK,

WHY DON'T YOU GIRLS CHECK UP ON THE HILL?

I SAW SOME NICE RASPBERRIES UP THERE.

MAYBE WE COULD HAVE SOME PIE TONIGHT.

Mary: WON'T YOU GO WITH US, PA?

I'D LIKE TO, BUT I GOT A LOT OF PLOWING TO DO, DARLING.

- HAVE FUN. - BYE-BYE, PA.

I THINK I'LL TAKE GRACE SOME FRESH BREAD

AND SOME APPLE JELLY.

I'LL BRING THE APPLE JELLY.

Caroline: ALL RIGHT.

I WANT TO!

Laura: I'M GOING TO!

GIRLS, I'LL BRING THE APPLE JELLY.

YES, MA'AM.

[LAUGHING]

CAROLINE, STOP!

STOP, GIRLS.

Grace: DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!

WHAT'S WRONG?

THERE'S BEEN FEVER IN THE HOUSE!

OH, NO.

Grace: ALICIA CAME DOWN WITH IT!

ISAIAH TOOK HER UP TO HIS OLD CABIN!

HE SAYS FOR US NOT TO LET ANYBODY COME NEAR US!

ARE YOU AND CARL ALL RIGHT?

SO FAR!

YOU'RE SURE IT'S THE FEVER?

Grace: ISAIAH SAID SO!

HE THINKS HE BROUGHT IT BACK FROM ELMSVILLE!

OH, CAROLINE, IT HAPPENED SO FAST!

WHEN I SAW HER WITH ALL THOSE SPOTS, I--

I'VE JUST NEVER BEEN SO FRIGHTENED IN ALL MY LIFE!

WE'LL BE PRAYING FOR HER, GRACE.

THANK YOU, CAROLINE.

WE'RE PRAYING, TOO.

I'LL LEAVE THESE THINGS FOR YOU.

COME ON, GIRLS.

I'LL HAVE TO TELL YOUR PA.

WHY DON'T YOU GET YOUR BUCKETS

AND GO PICK RASPBERRIES?

YOU THINK IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT?

WELL, THERE'S NO ROAD UP THERE.

I DON'T THINK YOU'LL SEE ANYONE.

IF WE DO, WE'LL RUN.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUN.

JUST PICK THE BERRIES AND COME ON HOME.

- ALL RIGHT. - WE'LL HAVE PIE TONIGHT.

WHOA!

Mary: CARRIE!

HOW MANY HAVE YOU PICKED?

LET ME SEE.

WHAT'S CARRIE DOING?

EATING. AS FAST AS SHE PICKS!

IT'S ALL RIGHT, CARRIE.

WE HAVE ENOUGH HERE FOR HALF A DOZEN PIES.

I WAS THINKING.

ALICIA SURE LIKES RASPBERRIES.

LAURA, ALICIA'S SICK!

OH, I KNOW THAT.

BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS SHE LIKES ESPECIALLY,

ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT TASTE GOOD.

Laura: WE COULD SPARE A SMALL PAIL OF BERRIES.

YES, BUT YOU CAN'T GO TO THE CABIN.

IF I TAKE THE BACK TRAIL,

CLEAR AWAY FROM THE OTHER HOUSES,

I WOULDN'T SEE A SINGLE SOUL.

PA'D SKIN YOU FOR SURE.

I'D GO TO THE BACK DOOR, PUT THE BUCKET DOWN,

KNOCK, AND THEN RUN.

THEN ALICIA'LL HAVE SOMETHING SHE LIKES, AND NOBODY'D HAVE TO KNOW.

YOU'LL BE BREAKING QUARANTINE.

STAY AWAY FROM OTHER FOLKS.

THAT'S ALL WE PROMISED.

I'LL JUST KNOCK AND RUN.

YOU WON'T TALK TO ANYBODY?

NO. CROSS MY HEART.

PAPA.

YES, BABY.

THROAT HURTS. I'M THIRSTY.

ALL RIGHT. JUST A MINUTE.

NO, PAPA. HOT.

JUST DRINK SOME.

IT'LL BE GOOD FOR YOUR THROAT AND YOUR MOUTH.

NO, PAPA. HOT WATER.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL GET YOU SOME COOL WATER.

BE A GOOD GIRL.

KEEP THIS ON YOUR FOREHEAD TILL I GET BACK.

ALL RIGHT?

YOU'RE GOING TO GET WELL.

PAPA.

Alicia: PAPA.

PAPA, HELP ME.

PAPA?

PAPA, HELP ME.

I'LL HELP YOU, ALICIA.

LAURA?

WHERE'S MY PA?

HERE SOMEPLACE.

JUST LET ME GET THIS OUT FROM UNDER.

Isaiah: HALF-PINT!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I BROUGHT SOME BERRIES. I HEARD ALICIA CRYING. I WAS ONLY TRYING TO--

YOU'RE TRYING TO CATCH THE FEVER,

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO!

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE COME WITHIN A MILE OF HERE!

NOW GET OUT AND STAY OUT!

NO, I WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP HER.

I SAID GET OUT!

AND STAY AWAY FROM HERE!

IT'S BAD ENOUGH I BROUGHT IT TO HER

WITHOUT YOU SNEAKING AROUND TRYING TO GET IT!

ALL RIGHT. ONE. BUT JUST ONE.

DID YOU LEAVE THE BERRIES?

YEAH. YEAH, I JUST LEFT THEM.

DID YOU SEE ANYBODY?

NO, NO. JUST LEFT THE BERRIES OUTSIDE LIKE I PROMISED.

WELL...

THEN IT'S ALL RIGHT,

I GUESS.

WE'RE LATE. WE'D BETTER GO.

IS THE PIE ALL RIGHT, CHARLES?

YEAH. YEAH, IT'S FINE.

JUST WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING WE COULD DO FOR ISAIAH.

DO YOU THINK HE REALLY BROUGHT THE FEVER BACK

FROM ELMSVILLE?

HE COULD HAVE. I DON'T KNOW.

HE'S GOING TO BLAME HIMSELF, THAT'S FOR SURE.

DEAR GOD, THE SECOND TIME HE'S BROUGHT IT TO HIS FAMILY.

SECOND TIME?

YEAH, HALF-PINT. THE FIRST TIME,

HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER DIED.

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ALICIA...

IS THAT HOW YOU CATCH THE FEVER?

BY BEING NEXT TO SOMEBODY WHO HAS IT?

NOBODY REALLY KNOWS FOR SURE, HALF-PINT.

BUT IT HAPPENED TO ISAIAH TWICE.

IF OUR PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED,

ALICIA WILL RECOVER.

LET'S JUST PRAY THE FEVER DOESN'T TURN LOOSE

ON WALNUT GROVE THE WAY IT DID IN ELMSVILLE.

ISAIAH SAID THAT, ONCE THE SPOTS APPEAR,

ONE OUT OF EVERY TWO PATIENTS DIES.

AND YOU GIRLS, REMEMBER THAT.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO NEAR ANYONE, YOU UNDERSTAND? NO ONE.

- YES, SIR. Mary: YES, SIR.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

NO, PAPA.

THIRSTY.

OKAY, DARLING. I'LL GET YOU WATER.

YOU BE A GOOD GIRL. KEEP THAT CLOTH ON YOUR FOREHEAD.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

WHO IS IT?

LAURA.

LAURA INGALLS.

I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY . I MEANT THAT.

NOW, GO HOME!

I CAN'T, MR. EDWARDS.

I GOT THE FEVER.

STAND BACK.

I COULDN'T STAY HOME.

I DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE IT TO MA OR PA,

MARY OR CARRIE.

WELL, YOU DID RIGHT.

COME ON IN, HALF-PINT.

ISAIAH, WHERE'S LAURA?

DON'T COME ANY CLOSER, EITHER ONE OF YOU.

LAURA WASN'T IN HER BED THIS MORNING. HER NOTE SAID THAT--

SHE'S HERE.

NO, DON'T, CHARLES.

SHE'S GOT THE FEVER.

THE FEVER? SHE WAS FINE YESTERDAY.

THAT'S, UM...

THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS.

LOOK, I, UM... I CAN TAKE CARE OF ALICIA AND LAURA BOTH.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF THEM?

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU CAN BARELY STAND UP YOURSELF.

THAT'S...NOTHING A LITTLE SLEEP WON'T CURE.

NOW, REMEMBER, I'VE HAD THE FEVER, YOU HAVEN'T.

YEAH, WELL, I'M GOING TO TAKE MY CHANCES.

Laura: NO, PA.

DO LIKE MR. EDWARDS SAYS.

LAURA.

Edwards: SHE DID RIGHT BY COMING HERE.

NOW, CHARLES, YOU CAN'T HELP HER OR ME OR ANYBODY

IF YOU GET THE FEVER.

IT'S OKAY, PA.

ME AND MR. EDWARDS CAN HANDLE THINGS FINE.

Edwards: CHARLES.

YOU GOT TWO YOUNG'UNS AT HOME.

KEEP THEM SAFE.

I'M GOING TO BE JUST FINE.

WE KNOW YOU WILL, DARLING.

I'M--I'M GOING TO GET DR. BAKER.

NOW YOU... JUST DO WHAT ISAIAH TELLS YOU.

Laura: I WILL, PA.

WE LOVE YOU.

AND I LOVE YOU.

THE WORST PART ABOUT BEING SICK,

I THINK, IS HOW SAD IT MAKES OTHER PEOPLE.

THAT'S JUST BECAUSE THEY LOVE YOU, CHILD.

THEY LOVE YOU.

Charles: YOU GIRLS BE GOOD WHILE I'M GONE,

AND BE SURE TO HELP YOUR MOTHER. I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW.

- WE WILL, PA. - BYE, PA.

GOOD-BYE, DARLING. GOOD-BYE.

BYE, PA.

YOU THINK I'M GOING TO BE GONE FOR A WEEK?

WELL, I PUT IN ENOUGH FOR DR. BAKER ON THE WAY BACK,

AND BESIDES, YOU HAVE TO EAT TO KEEP YOUR STRENGTH UP.

DON'T WANT YOU COMING DOWN WITH THE FEVER.

ALL RIGHT, DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT ME. I WON'T.

I DON'T WANT YOU TAKING ANY CHANCES, EITHER.

YOU MAKE SURE YOU STAY PUT HERE TILL I GET BACK.

BUT THERE'S LAURA'S THINGS--

IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE FOR 24 HOURS.

NOW, I WANT YOU TO PROMISE.

I PROMISE.

ALL RIGHT. I LOVE YOU.

I'LL PICK YOU UP ON THE WAY BACK WITH DR. BAKER.

BYE, GIRLS. Girls: BYE, PA.

Caroline: TAKE CARE.

SORRY, THAT'S AS FAR AS YOU CAN GO!

LOOK, I'VE GOT TO GET TO ELMSVILLE!

FEVER THERE.

I KNOW THAT. WE'VE GOT IT IN WALNUT GROVE.

I'M GOING AFTER OUR DOCTOR.

YOU CAN'T GO THIS WAY. FARMERS BURNT DOWN THE BRIDGE.

YOU MIGHT GET A BOAT OVER AT CIDER FERRY, THOUGH.

ABOUT A MILE UP THAT ROAD.

THANK YOU!

YOU WATCH YOURSELF! FOLKS'RE MIGHTY TOUCHY.

WILL DO IT!

HYAH!

MR. EDWARDS?

I GOT SOME, UH...

WOOD TO GET US THROUGH THE NIGHT.

YOU, UM...

YOU BEST--

MR. EDWARDS!

MR. EDWARDS, WHAT HAPPENED?

I GOT TO GET UP. I GOT TO GET UP.

I GOT TO TAKE CARE OF ALICIA.

I'LL HELP YOU. YOU HAVE TO REST.

I CAN'T LET HER DIE. I CAN'T--

SHE WON'T, MR. EDWARDS.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF HER.

[PANTING]

NOW THEY'RE GONE.

IF I LOSE ALICIA, I--

I GOT TO GET UP. I GOT TO GET UP.

[WHISPERS] I GOT TO GET UP.

AAH!

[WHISPERS] I GOT--I GOT--

REST.

SHE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

SHE'S NOT GOING TO DIE.

YOU'LL BE FINE, MR. EDWARDS.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

YOU'LL SEE.

REST.

HERE YOU GO. BEST IN THE WEST.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

DIXON ATE OUT OF THESE PLATES, DIDN'T HE?

WE SCALDED THEM ALL DOWN.

BESIDES, I'VE BEEN EATING OFF THEM, AND I'M FINE.

BUT DIXON'S DEAD.

LOOK, YOU DON'T WANT TO EAT, DON'T EAT.

LOOKS LIKE WE GOT COMPANY.

HOLD IT. HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, MISTER.

LOOK, MY NAME'S CHARLES INGALLS.

I NEED DR. BAKER.

SORRY. NOBODY GOES IN OR OUT.

LOOK, I'D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU'D GET THE DOCTOR FOR ME.

WE GOT FEVER IN WALNUT GROVE. WE NEED HIM BAD.

YOU'LL GET HIM WHEN HE'S FINISHED HERE.

BEST THING FOR YOU TO DO IS GET BACK IN THAT BOAT.

TELL YOUR PEOPLE WE HOPE THEY FARE BETTER THAN WE HAVE.

LOOK, MISTER, MY DAUGHTER'S GOT THE FEVER.

I NEED THE DOCTOR.

GET BACK IN THE BOAT.

YOU HEARD WHAT THE MAN SAID. MOVE!

[COCKS RIFLE]

COME ON, LET'S GET HIM IN THE BOAT.

BLAME FOOL, THOUGHT HE COULD TAKE THE 3 OF US!

GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

[SOBBING]

DON'T CRY, MOTHER.

EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

I KNOW.

THEN WHY ARE YOU CRYING?

EVERYBODY CRIES SOMETIMES.

IT SCARES ME WHEN YOU CRY.

OH...

WHY?

WHEN BIG PEOPLE CRY,

THEY ONLY CRY WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN,

AND I DON'T WANT NOTHING BAD TO HAPPEN.

WELL NOW, DON'T YOU START CRYING.

I WON'T IF YOU WON'T.

[LAUGHS]

Caroline: I WON'T CRY ANYMORE.

PROMISE?

I PROMISE.

CAN I CLIMB UNDER THE COVERS WITH YOU?

[LAUGHS]

OF COURSE.

I'M GOING TO DREAM ABOUT LAURA BEING HOME.

OH, THAT'LL BE A NICE DREAM.

[KISSING]

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, MOMMY.

Alicia: PAPA.

I'M THIRSTY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

CAME DOWN WITH IT, SAME AS YOU.

WHERE'S PA?

HE'S SLEEPING.

HE'S NOT SICK, IS HE?

DON'T KNOW. HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SPOTS OR ANYTHING.

I THINK HE'S JUST TUCKERED.

ARE YOU FEELING REAL BAD?

NO, NOT YET.

JUST GOT THE SPOTS.

DO YOU THINK WE'LL DIE?

I DON'T KNOW.

Alicia: I CAN'T DIE NOW.

I WON'T GO TO HEAVEN.

OF COURSE YOU WILL!

Alicia: WON'T NEITHER.

I DID A BAD THING.

I WAS GOING TO BRING IT BACK. HONEST.

NOW IF I GET...

DEAD...

I WON'T BE ABLE TO.

WHAT WAS IT?

A HAIR RIBBON, FROM THE OLESONS.

I WISH I DIDN'T TAKE IT.

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

JUST ASK GOD TO FORGIVE.

DO YOU THINK HE WILL?

SURE. HE FORGIVES LOTS OF THINGS,

EVEN WORSE THAN THAT.

I'LL TALK TO HIM NOW.

- LAURA? - HMM?

JUST IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS,

MAYBE YOU CAN BRING THE RIBBON BACK.

IT'S HIDDEN UNDER MY DRESSER.

I WILL.

THANKS.

I CAN'T USE THAT ONE.

WELL...HE'S KIND OF DUMB LUCKY ANYWAY.

Man: HURRY UP, WILL YOU?

YOU'RE ALWAYS PLAYING WITH THOSE CARDS. CAN'T YOU SEE THEM?

- HOLD IT. - WHAT? WHAT?

- THAT'S GIN, MEN. - DAGBURN IT.

Man: YOU KNOW, I KNEW I NEVER SHOULD'VE THROWN THAT 7 OUT!

I HAD A HUNCH. I HAD A HUNCH ON THAT CARD.

WELL, IF YOU KNOWED IT, WHY'D YOU THROW IT DOWN?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST KEEP CHAWING ON THAT OLD CUD OF YOURS?

THAT'S ALL YOU'RE EVER GOOD FOR ANYWAY.

WHY DO YOU TWO PLAY IT OFF? ALL YOU DO IS ARGUE!

Man: FOR SOMETHING BETTER TO DO, I THINK, MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

Man 2: WE AIN'T PLAYING FOR MONEY ANYWAY.

Man: WELL, I THOUGHT I WAS. DEAL THE CARDS, WILL YOU?

[THUNK]

HEY, WHO'S THERE?

- IT'S THE ONE FROM THE BOAT! - COME ON!

YOU CAN TAKE HER OUT NOW.

- DOC! - GET HIM...UNH!

DOC!

WHOEVER THAT IS, GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

WAIT A MINUTE!

DOC, THERE'S FEVER IN WALNUT GROVE.

WHO HAS IT?

ALICIA AND LAURA.

THEY NEED YOU.

Man: HE SWAM OVER. GOT PAST US.

YOU'RE A COUPLE OF FOOLS

FOR CHASING HIM IN HERE.

NOW, GET OUT!

EDWARDS IS TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THEM IN HIS CABIN.

LOOKS LIKE YOUR PATIENTS NEED YOU

MORE THAN WE DO, DOCTOR.

NOTHING HERE NOW THAT I CAN'T TAKE CARE OF.

I'LL SEE THAT YOU GET TO THE BOAT

WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE.

THANK YOU, DOC.

[SNIFF]

YOU PUT A WET CLOTH ON ME.

THAT I DID, DARLING.

LET ME TAKE A LOOK AT YOU.

HERE.

THERE'S NO SPOTS.

THE SPOTS ARE GONE.

THERE'S NO FEVER.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE, ALICIA!

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE, YOU'RE GOING TO BE FINE.

YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE TO BE 4 YEARS OLDER THAN THE MOUNTAINS.

YOU'RE WELL, BABY.

THANK YOU, GOD.

THANK YOU.

IT'S MA AND PA!

AND DR. BAKER AND YOUR MA!

THERE'S NO MORE SPOTS AND NO MORE FEVER!

ALICIA'S WELL!

LET ME LOOK AT HER, ISAIAH.

WHAT ABOUT LAURA?

LAURA?

LAURA, HONEY, UNLOCK THE DOOR AND LET ME IN.

Laura: I CAN'T, PA.

PLEASE, OPEN THE DOOR.

IT'S DOC BAKER, LAURA.

YOUR PA BROUGHT ME ALL THE WAY FROM ELMSVILLE

TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOU.

OPEN THE DOOR, HONEY.

Laura: I'VE GOT THE FEVER SPOTS.

Dr. Baker: OH, I'VE SEEN THOSE SPOTS BEFORE, LAURA.

THAT'S WHY I CAME TO LOOK AT YOURS.

LAURA, UNLOCK THE DOOR AND LET THE DOCTOR SEE YOU.

Charles: PLEASE!

Laura: ONLY IF YOU STAY BACK, PA.

GO AHEAD, CHARLES.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, LAURA.

YOUR PA IS SAFE AWAY NOW.

OPEN THE DOOR, PLEASE?

[UNLOCKING DOOR]

THAT'S MY GIRL.

A LITTLE WIDER, PLEASE?

I DON'T WANT ANYONE GETTING SICK ON ACCOUNT OF ME.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT, CHILD.

IF I HAVEN'T GOT IT BY NOW, I'M NEVER GOING TO GET IT.

PLEASE?

LET ME TAKE A LOOK.

[LAUGHS]

Dr. Baker: SPOTS... BUT NO FEVER.

NOT EVEN CLOSE TO FEVER!

YOU'VE GOT POISON IVY, HONEY!

[LAUGHING]
