♪

Blasted bumble bees.

Dan!

Hold 'em, Jenny, hold 'em!

Major Adams! Runaway!

Hey, that's the Barrister wagon!

I'll get the wagon, Major!

Jenny, you hurt bad?

My-my side!

We'll get you back to the
wagon and take a look at it.

I'll take care of her.

Dan, she may have
some busted bones.

I'll take care of her,
and nobody else.

♪

♪

Psst! Mr. Hawks.

You've gotta do something
about Jenny Barrister.

She cries out every so often

like she's still
in terrible pain.

I know, Mrs. Miller,
I heard her.

You gotta do something,
Mr. Hawks.

Well, her husband's with her.

She could be near dyin' and
he wouldn't do nothin' to help her.

Well, there's nothing
I can do about that.

Nobody did anything the last time
there was sickness in that wagon, either,

and you know what happened then.

Oh, now, it's probably
no more than a bruise.

I haven't had a wink of sleep all
night for Jenny's calling out in her pain.

Now, a woman don't carry
on like that unless it's serious.

Well, maybe I'd better
look into it, then.

You hear that? Yeah.

Major. Major Adams.

Hmm?

Oh, Hawks.

What's the matter,
you got trouble?

I'm afraid so.

Well... You won't
be needing that.

I thought you said
we had trouble.

It's not that kind, Major.
It's Mrs. Barrister.

From the sounds of things,
she needs help.

Oh.

It's that bad, huh?

Bad enough to
need a doctor, I think.

Well, you know Dan Barrister's
never gonna let a doctor look at her.

That's why I woke you up.

I figured you'd know what to do.

Well, hand me my boots.

You sure Hawks
is telling the Major?

If he isn't, I will.
That poor woman.

I'm gonna see if Hazel Jensen
is still awake.

Although how anybody can
sleep through this, I don't know.

I'm glad you see
your duty, Major.

It's criminal the way that poor
woman's suffering in there.

Mrs. Miller, there's no reason
for you to be up this time of night.

I couldn't sleep a wink, Major.

I gotta see that Jenny
Barrister has got proper care.

Well, we'll do what we can.

Dan.

Dan, it's Seth Adams.

Yes, Major? I understand
Jenny's still ailing.

Wonder if there's anything
I can do to help.

There's nothing you can do.

I'd like to take a look at her.

I mean no interference,
Dan, please understand that,

but as wagon master, I've
got a certain responsibility.

I'd appreciate it
if you'd let me see her.

Won't do any harm, I suppose.

What's all the excitement?

Charlie, where are
your pants? Pants?

Oh!

Hello, Jenny.

What seems to be the trouble?

It's a terrible hurt, Major.

Worse than
I've ever known before.

Well, you lit on
that rock pretty hard.

It's my-my side.

A sh...

A sharp pain like...

Like a broad-head arrow
had struck me.

It's hot and searing.

And I feel like...

it's gettin' worse
with every breath...

till I don't know if I can
stand it another minute.

I said you could
look at my wife,

not administer to her.

I was just trying to find out
if she had a fever, Dan.

She's got one. She's burnin' up.

Listen to me, will ya, Dan?

We're camped right close to that
settlement at Johnsonville.

It's big enough now that
I'm sure there's a doctor there.

Whether they have one or not,
we're not having him.

I have no quarrel
with your reasons, Dan...

The fact is, I don't pretend
to understand 'em.

All I know is that

during the war I saw
an awful lot of misery,

an awful lot,

and if it hadn't been
for some mighty fine doctorin'

there'd have been a lot
more suffering then there was.

This fever could be caused
by a bad infection, Dan.

That oughta be looked after.

Major, I'll have to ask you
to leave my wagon.

That's your privilege, Dan,

now the same as it was a few months
back with your daughter Hannah.

It was my daughter,
and that's my wife.

Nothing I can say to get you
to change your mind?

Nothing.

Then I'll have to
ask you, Jenny.

Is this what you want?

'Cause if it is,
I can do no more.

You...

You know me well, Major.

I-I wasn't... born to silk
petticoats and finery.

I can stand up to the
hardships of the trail

as well as any.

I can vouch for that, Jenny.

So if I tell you I'm scared,

you'll know
I've got good reason.

And... and I am scared, Major,

so scared...

Scared I'm really gonna die.

Try to find...
Find a doctor for me, please.

Jenny!

I'm sorry, Daniel. I mean it.

I want a doctor.

Dan, you've got to
respect the wishes of your wife.

Humble as it is,
this wagon is my home...

and I'm ordering you
to leave it.

All right, Dan.

If you try to come back,
I'll stop you!

I'll do what I have to do
to protect my rights!

Go on back to bed... MRS. MILLER:
We won't stand by, Daniel Barrister,

to see such a thing happen to
Jenny as happened to your daughter!

Keeping people away from Hannah
the way you did,

nobody knowing how sick
she was... till she was dead!

And you not shedding
so much as a tear!

I have my own way
of doing things.

Your way is criminal!

My wife's right, Barrister.

We were close enough to Rockpoint
for your daughter to have had a doctor.

Your preventing that
was nothing short of murder.

That's enough of
that kind of talk, Miller!

What other name
are you gonna give it, Major?

There was a lot of riled-up talk
amongst the folks after Hannah died.

I know how strongly they felt...

Strong enough that if you stand
by now and don't do anything

and the same thing
happens to Jenny,

we'll all have to hold you
morally responsible.

Just a minute, Mr. Miller.

I speak for the people
of this wagon train, not you,

and it's my job to protect
the rights of everybody here.

And that includes Dan Barrister.

There'll be no more
accusations of murder,

and don't you start getting any
fancy ideas about using force

and taking matters
into your own hands,

'cause I'll stop you,
believe me.

I'll handle this thing
in my own way,

and I'll do it without any
interference from any one of you,

do you understand that?

No man has the right to condemn
any other man's way of thinking...

Even if you don't
agree with him.

That's pretty well what the
Constitution guarantees every one of us,

even out here
on this wagon train.

So go on back to bed
and get some sleep.

We've still got
a schedule to meet.

Go on, all of ya!

All right, if you got
anything to say, say it.

I don't want anybody
talking behind my back.

Oh, we're just mumbling.

It's a good thing you took
charge, though, like you did.

Sure showed 'em
who's boss of this outfit.

And when you talked about protecting
the rights of everybody on the wagon train,

even Barrister, and that little
talk about the Constitution,

that was good, too. But, uh...

But what?

What about Jenny Barrister's rights,
is that what you're thinking about?

How about Mrs. Barrister, Major?

We couldn't help but overhear
her ask you about a doctor.

You're gonna get one,
ain't ya? I'm sure gonna try.

Supposin' Barrister starts
using that gun of his to stop you?

He might, too, the way
he's been talking.

And you can't just talk him
into letting the doctor see her.

Maybe somebody else can.

Bill, go down and wake
up the Snyders, will ya?

Ask Mrs. Snyder to come
up here soon as she can,

tell her it's important.

Charlie, you better
make some coffee.

We're not gonna get any
sleep tonight, I can see that.

Daniel,

you haven't said a word to me
since you sat down there.

Please don't treat me
with silence.

The Devil had your tongue,
Jenny.

I'll hold no conversation
with the Devil.

When I married you,

I vowed I'd do my best

to make your faith mine.

And I thought I had, until...

Until I was put to the test.

I found I wasn't
as strong as you are.

When I saw my little girl
lying on this bed dying...

And I know you've
never forgiven me

for begging you
to fetch a doctor, but...

But I was scared, Daniel,
just-just like I'm scared now.

You denounced God
by asking such a thing.

Hannah would have lived.

Yes, Jenny, she might
have lived if you had believed.

The Lord sometimes refuses
to enter when He is doubted.

Don't say that to me, Daniel.

I do believe.

Because I don't believe
in the same way you do,

or-or as strong...

am I to be condemned for that?

Must I die too because I just
don't understand your way?

Jenny...

I'm your husband,

and I love you.

It's my duty to protect you
against your own doubts.

I'll have the strength
for both of us.

Trust in me, Jenny. Believe.

Believe in God's will be done,
and cast out the Devil.

Believe and live.

Denounce Him...

and as Hannah before you...

you'll surely die.

Believe me, Jenny.

Believe with me!

Daniel Barrister is a
stubborn man, Major.

Even back in St. Joe, when he'd
get his mind set on something,

there was no changing it.

Well, please don't
misunderstand me, Mrs. Snyder,

I mean no disrespect to the faith
that you and Dan Barrister hold.

But I figure that you both
being of that faith,

maybe you could advise me.

You see, Jenny has
asked for a doctor.

Oh, yes, I know Jenny well.

She was first brought to our
faith when she married Daniel.

Well, let me ask you this.

Do you folks hold that
Dan, being her husband,

has the right to deny her
the services of a doctor?

My own husband
is an outsider, Major.

I cannot arrogantly trespass
on his mind and will;

I can only lower the ladder
of enlightenment to him.

If he will not ascend it,
I can do no more.

Will you talk to Dan for me?

Yes, I will try.

Thank you, Mrs. Snyder.
Thank you very much.

You think she can
talk him into it, Major?

I don't know.
If she can't, nobody can.

Hey, that's pretty good
coffee for a change.

Thanks, Major.

Brother Daniel.

Brother Daniel.

I've come to help,
Brother Daniel.

Thank you, Sister Mary.

But I've come
for another reason, too.

Another reason?

Jenny was heard
asking for medical aid.

I'm ashamed to say she was.

Brother Daniel,
I have a question to ask.

If you were a preacher,
would you step into

another preacher's pulpit
without his consent?

What are you saying?

Jenny's wishes are a pulpit,

and you're preaching
without her consent.

I never expected to hear such
a thing from you, Sister Mary.

I never thought that you,
of all people,

would compromise yourself
in the eyes of God.

It's only a compromise
when the sickness

concerns yourself,
Brother Daniel...

Our church doesn't
give you the right

to force your will
on another person.

I never asked that church
or any other church

to stand or fall on what I do.

Brother Daniel!

Maybe you don't remember
when my mother died.

Yes, I remember very well.

She clung to her faith
until the very last.

It was my father
who called in the surgeon.

I'll never forget my mother
asking God to forgive her

for compromising
in what she believed.

That's when I vowed I'd never
allow a doctor in my house

as long as I lived.

You go on back
to your wagon now, Mary.

I'll not be swayed
when I'm about God's business.

Not even by you.

Well, whatever happened, it
didn't take long. She's coming back.

I told you Daniel Barrister
was a stubborn man.

Even I didn't know how stubborn.

He wouldn't listen,
huh? I'm sorry.

Well, I sure appreciate
you trying, Mrs. Snyder.

Thank you very much.

Why the devil can't you ever learn
to make a decent cup of coffee?!

But you just said... I
don't care what I said!

Go wake up McCullough. Yes, sir.

Major, McCullough
ain't here. He what?!

He ain't here.

Where the devil can
that fool scout be now?

Here I am, Major.

I was saddling my horse.

And where do you think
you were going?

Johnsonville. Find a doctor.

That's what you wanted
with me, isn't it?

I thought you were asleep.
Didn't miss a single word.

How long will it take you
to ride over there and back?

About four hours, ridin' hard.

I'll be looking for you
about daybreak.

See ya later, men.

All right.

Four hours...

That's an awful long time
for Jenny to have to wait.

We might be able
to cut that time, Bill,

if we get these wagons
ready to roll right away.

What, in the middle
of the night? Sure!

What's wrong with picking up
some of those miles we're behind?

Besides, it'll put
the Barristers

that much closer to where
they're probably gonna stay.

You're gonna put 'em
off the train in Johnsonville?

Might have to, Bill.

If Jenny's in bad a shape
as I think she is,

she won't be able
to travel anyhow.

Wonder what Barrister will do
when he hears about this?

I don't know, Bill.

I don't know
what I'll do, either.

But that's a problem
we'll have to face

when and if McCullough
finds a doctor.

You know, a man
of medical science

just might be able
to influence Dan.

I don't know.

But it's worth a chance
anyway, Bill.

It's the least we can do.

Go on, make yourself unpopular.

Wake everybody up and
tell 'em to get ready to roll.

Wooster! Yes, sir?

Give me a cup of coffee.

Ow! I do that all the time!

Have you seen Barrister,
Charlie?

He ain't even stuck his head
out to see what's happening.

Jenny.

ADAMS: Jenny, can you hear me?

Is that you, Major?

Yes.

I just wanted to ask you
if you think you can stand

the wagon moving
for a little while.

I don't know, Major.

I'm gonna try to get
a little closer to Johnsonville.

I've already sent
McCullough on ahead

to try to find a doctor for you.

Y-Yes.

Yes, I'll try.

I'll be all right.

I know what
you're gonna say, Dan.

I know how you feel
about what I just said.

I'm sorry, but I've
got to do it this way.

It won't do any good, Major.

I won't let a doctor
come near her.

So there's no use
even pulling out.

I wish you'd try to understand
the position you put me in, Dan.

I don't want to
go against your wishes.

But at the same time, I've got
to do all I can for Jenny.

I'm not moving my wagon
one foot closer to Johnsonville.

I figured you wouldn't,

so I've got Wooster
to drive your wagon for you.

Now, this much I will do, Dan...
Without your permission.

I'll take this wagon train
anyplace I want to take it,

whenever I want to
take it there.

And that means
every wagon in the train.

Dan...

there's one thing
I want to ask you to do, though.

If the going
gets too rough for Jenny,

will you put your principles
aside long enough to let me know?

You don't understand me
at all, do you, Major?

Whatever made you think
I was a cruel man?

Dan...

Wagons, ho!

Hold it, mister!

You better stay away
if you want to live.

Couldn't help
wondering about the lights.

I'm just passing through.

Good idea to keep
right on going, mister.

We've gotta stay here...
You don't.

What do you mean
you've got to stay?

Wouldn't do any good to run
away... we've all been exposed anyway.

Exposed to what? Smallpox.

Half of Johnsonville's
been wiped out already.

You can even catch the stuff
by breathing too close to one

of them that's died from it.

That's why the doctor
wants us to wear these masks.

That's why you better
not get any closer. Doctor?

You said there's a
doctor in Johnsonville?

If there wasn't, there wouldn't
be this many of us alive.

That's all I want to know.
Thanks.

Hey, wait! You can't go
into town, it's quarantined!

Hold it, mister,
you can't go in there!

Wake up, fella.

Come on, fella, wake up.
Where's the doctor?

I don't think
I've ever seen you before.

I don't know what
that's got to do with it.

You're the dangdest fool
I ever saw, mister.

Will you tell me
where the doctor is?

He rode right into town
after I tried to stop him.

I'm sorry you did that.

Smallpox is extremely
contagious.

The germs can even be carried on
the clothing of one who's immune.

I know you got your own problems
and I sympathize with 'em,

but there's a woman on the
wagon train that needs a doctor.

Are you gonna help me,
or do you want me to

go out in the street
and start to holler for him?

You're a bigger fool
than I thought, mister.

You're talking to him.

You? You're the doctor?

The folks here in Johnsonville

were a little skeptical
about it, too.

I guess some of them still are

with all the deaths we've had
from this epidemic.

People don't
blame you none, Doc.

We all know how long it took to
get the serum here from the East.

I'm sorry, Doctor, I...

I guess I was expecting
to find...

well, an older man.

We've got an unusual
situation on the train.

I think it might be
more easily handled

by a doctor
with more experience.

Train? The wagon
train. I ride scout for it.

Name's Flint McCullough.

Dr. Culver.

Roll up your left sleeve,
Mr. McCullough.

Roll up your sleeve. You've
exposed yourself to smallpox.

I'll have to vaccinate you.

Don't bother about that.
I'm immune.

You were vaccinated?

No, but I had smallpox
during the war.

I don't see any scars.

I had a light case.
Guess I was lucky.

You sure it was smallpox?
That's what they said.

A lot of men in the
outfit died from it.

Well, your case could have
been diagnosed wrong.

Without any evidence to the
contrary, we can't take a chance.

I'm afraid we'll have to insist.

Look, Doctor, there isn't
time... You heard the doctor.

Now roll up your sleeve.

Well, I guess a little
vaccination never hurt anybody.

Now, this woman on the train...

Maybe if you could tell me
what her symptoms are

I could advise you
as to what to do.

She was injured,

thrown out of a wagon
and landed on a rock.

But there's nothing we can do.

You gotta come yourself.

I wish I could.
You've got to, Doctor.

I shouldn't leave here...
Not yet.

I do think the epidemic
has run its course,

but perhaps a new case
could break out.

There's no "perhaps"
about the woman on the train.

She needs you now.

When a physician is confronted
with a choice like this,

he must think in terms
of the welfare of the many,

as opposed to that of one.

Well, it seems to me when you
know somebody's sick for sure,

maybe dying even,

that the "perhaps" chances
just have to wait.

Now, you lay off the doc,
mister.

He's had a tough enough time,
without even no sleep.

It's all right, Jim,
Mr. McCullough has a good point.

Maybe it's because I'm tired
and not thinking too clearly.

Maybe it's because
I do lack experience.

Jim, if any new cases
should break out,

you get Mrs. Murphy down here.

She helped me vaccinate
everyone in town.

Nothing much I can do that she can't
do, anyway, once they come down with it.

It's mostly just waiting to see
if they come out of it.

The wagon's already
moving this way.

A fast rider ought to be able to
get to the doctor in a couple of hours.

Good. I'll be ready
to go in a minute.

You just head right straight
out of town the way I came in.

You ought to be able to pick
us up by not later than sun-up.

Why don't you
make yourself useful

and saddle the doctor's
horse for him?

If it's okay with you, I'll
take yours. It'll save time.

What about me?
You can't leave here.

When the vaccination
takes effect,

you'll be no shape
to be on the trail.

Besides, you could
carry the disease to others.

Well, I can't stay here, Doctor.

I ride scout for a wagon train.

I'm sorry.

In this matter, there isn't
any choice for either of us.

You're the doctor.

Oh, Doctor.

The woman's name
is Jenny Barrister,

and even though
she wants a doctor,

her husband doesn't
believe in 'em.

Oh? He said he wouldn't
let a doctor go near her.

I'll handle it.

I wish I could be sure.

You can be sure
of one thing, mister...

I got a reason
for using my rifle now...

To keep you from spreading
smallpox wherever you go.

So...

don't push me this time, hmm?

HAWKS: Major Adams!

Major! What's the
matter now, Bill?

Whoa! It's Mrs. Barrister.

Her husband says
we're gonna have to stop.

She can't travel any farther.

The bouncing around
got too much for her, huh?

It seems like it.
She just fainted.

"Unto thee, O Lord,"

"do I lift up my soul."

"My God, I trust in thee."

"Let me not be ashamed.

"Let not mine enemies
triumph over me.

"Yea, let none that wait
on me be ashamed.

Let them be ashamed which
transgress without cause."

Daniel...

Daniel, the wagon has stopped.

Why... why has the wagon stopped?

The going got
too rough for you, Jenny.

You passed into unconsciousness.

Now we're just waiting.

For the doctor, Daniel?

Waiting for the doctor?

We're waiting on the Lord,
Jenny, that's all.

We're waiting for His decision.

Major, Mrs. Barrister
just come to.

I thought you'd want to
know. Thank the Lord for that.

She's asking
for the doctor again, too.

HAWKS: Major?

There's a rider
heading this way real fast.

Think it might be
McCullough? I can't tell.

We better go see.

Bring that lantern,
will you, Bill? Right.

I wonder where they're going?

I saw Hawks go over to get him.

I wonder if that's
a doctor coming.

If it is, Barrister hadn't
better try to stop him.

DOCTOR: Hold it, men!
Don't come any closer! Smallpox!

What do you mean, smallpox?

I could be carrying
the germs on my person.

Where'd you get
that horse you're riding?

I borrowed it from Flint
McCullough in Johnsonville,

where he was detained. Detained?

Yes, he has to stay there
until tomorrow.

He'll be recovered
from his vaccination by then.

Listen, mister,
I sent McCullough

into Johnsonville
to get a doctor.

Now, what's all this talk
about smallpox and vaccinations?

Before you say
what you're thinking,

let me introduce myself.

I'm only 25 years old, hardly
two months out of my internship,

but I am a doctor...
Dr. Peter Culver.

I'm sorry, Doc.

I'm Seth Adams. I'm
wagon master of that outfit.

This is Bill Hawks. How are ya.

McCullough told me
about the patient,

Mrs. Barrister,
and about her husband.

So we don't waste
any more time than necessary,

I'll tell you about your scout
while I take a bath.

A bath?! Yes. I'll
need a tub of water,

some strong lye soap,

and a complete change
of clean clothes.

No sense adding the danger
of smallpox infection

to the troubles
you already have.

Well, fine, Doc.

Take care of it, will you, Bill?

You can outfit him
from my trunk.

Get the tub out and put it
over there behind those trees.

Follow us, Doc.

To tell you the truth,

when I sent McCullough
for a doctor,

I didn't know what I was
gonna do if he found one.

I still don't know how we're
gonna handle Dan Barrister,

the way he feels.

I was hoping that
being a doctor,

you might be able to get him
to listen to reason.

I understand that Mrs.
Barrister had asked for a doctor.

Sure. Otherwise I couldn't
have interfered at all.

Well, the patient is an adult

Well, I'd say so, yes.
Is that important?

Ethically, it gives me
the right to examine her

if she requests it, in spite of
her husband's attitude.

Well, there's just
one thing, Doc.

I won't have anybody
pushing Dan Barrister around.

Whether he's right or wrong
in the way he feels

I'm not the one to say,

but I've got to respect any man
that's got the courage of his convictions.

And believe me, Dan's got it.

I'm gonna look even less like a
doctor than usual in clothes that big.

Well, they're getting
a little bit big for me now,

I've lost so much weight.

See? Loose.

Well, you ready, son? Yep.

There ya are.

Here.

Thanks.

Doesn't look like
much of a doctor.

Hmm.

Dan! Dan Barrister!

A doctor's coming.

Barrister!

There's a doctor coming
to look at your wife!

D-Daniel!

It grieves me, Jenny,

that my own wife listens to
the words of the Devil...

when I've tried so hard
to show her the way.

I don't want you to die, Jenny.

I want you to live.

But we must do it in God's way.

You hear me, Barrister?

We got something
to say to you out here!

Now, we're all of the
same mind, Barrister.

You got no human right
to stand in the doctor's way.

And what right have you got,
Sam Miller, to pass judgment?

What right have any of
you got to cast stones?

Get away from me!

Take your evil tormenting
someplace else!

All right, we'll go, but
you're coming with us!

What the devil do you
think you're doing?!

Get your hands off of him!

I'm solving a problem, Major.

Nothing or nobody is gonna
keep that doc from treating Jenny!

You just stay out of this.

I'm not going to stay out of it,

and you've got no right...

Get in your wagon, Dan.

Now, I told you all
before that I'd have

no interference
from any one of you.

And I meant exactly what I said.

If necessary,
I'll prove it to you...

Any way I can!

I'd hate to think that the rest of you
were with Miller in what he just did,

but I'll have to think that if you don't
get back to your wagons right now.

Well, make up your minds!

Miller...

I don't want to see you away from
your wagon the rest of the night.

I thank you
for what you did, Major...

but it doesn't change
my way of thinking.

Dan...

Major.

Well, I...

I guess you can see
what you're up against, Doc.

Yes. It'll be a little bit more difficult
because of what just happened,

so I'll need your cooperation.

A little more difficult?

It would be hard
for a man like Mr. Barrister

to lose face in front of
all these people now,

so I'll have to ask you
to isolate his wagon.

All right...

we can pull his wagon
over to one side if you like.

No, Major. I mean to move
the other wagons out.

All of them.
Continue on your journey.

Now, hold on just a minute.

We can't desert the Barristers.

You're not deserting them.

I'll assume full responsibility.

I'll see that they're cared for
until such time as

it's safe for them
to move into town.

I don't know about that.

Is there anything more you
can do to help the situation?

No, probably not.

I understood I was needed here because
Mrs. Barrister had asked for a doctor.

I wouldn't have left
Johnsonville otherwise.

That's right, you were.

Then let me take care of it.

There'll be no problem
once your gone.

Well, young fella,

I don't know exactly
what you got in mind,

but I guess it's like you say,

there's nothing more
I can do here.

So I guess probably it's best
to just turn it over to you.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if what
you can just about handle this situation.

Doctor's orders.

All right, Doctor,

the Barristers
are your responsibility.

Charlie, Bill.

Bill, I want you to get all the wagons
ready to roll except the Barristers'.

Is my horse still
saddled? Yes, sir.

All right.

Good luck, Doc.

I'll stay here until
you get rolling.

Dan, it's only fair
to give you your money back.

This will help give you and
Jenny a start from Johnsonville.

I'm sorry. Can't be helped.

I guess you have to keep
the train on schedule,

and Jenny can't travel
like she is.

Well, I hope you won't think too
harshly about what happened here.

I'll guarantee you that everybody
on this train will be praying for her.

Good luck to you.

All right.

Doc, you can send those funny-lookin'
clothes along with McCullough

when you see him. I'll do that.

Hope you have some luck.

Thank you. So long.

Wagons... ho!

Fall out!

Heeyah!

Come on, get rollin' here!

Come on, move along, move along!

Heeyah!

Mr. Barrister,
I'm Dr. Peter Culver.

I'd like permission
to examine your wife.

I warned Adams I'd do what I
had to do to protect my rights.

Now I'm advising you to
stay right where you are.

I don't think
you'll use that gun.

What makes you so sure?

Because the same God looks
upon all of us, Mr. Barrister.

"Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil,
for Thou are with me."

I'm a physician,
Mr. Barrister, not a devil.

You are sent by the Devil.

Was St. Luke also
sent by the Devil?

Luke? Luke, the physician.

He was the disciple of Christ.

He was a man of letters
first, a medical doctor.

Even as he traveled
as the companion of Paul,

he was known as that great
apostle's medical attendant.

Luke was not denounced by Paul
because he was a physician,

and he was chosen by Christ
Himself to spread His Word.

The apostle Luke healed with
the guidance of the Lord.

And what makes you so certain that I
ignore the power of God in my work?

"Judge not that ye be not
judged," Daniel Barrister,

"for with what judgment ye judge
ye shall be judged,

"and with what measure ye mete

it shall be measured
to you again."

You don't have to
quote the Bible to me.

I know the Word as well
as any man, maybe better.

You set yourself
above other men.

Could it also be that you set
yourself above the Almighty?

How dare you say
a thing like that?

I obey His Word.

And His commandments,
Mr. Barrister?

"Thou shalt not kill"?

You threaten to kill me
because you, Daniel Barrister,

judge me as
an emissary of the Devil.

Is it God's will be done,

or is it Daniel Barrister's
will be done?

I wouldn't have shot you.

But you can talk all you like,
you'll not touch my wife.

Is that God's word I'm hearing?

Or is it Daniel Barrister's?

Could it be that the Lord
speaks only to Daniel Barrister

and to no one else?

The Lord speaks to
all who will listen.

And how do others hear Him...

As Daniel Barrister
judges they should hear Him?

Or do we each have the individual
God-given right to hear His Word?

I do not judge others.
You judge your wife...

You demand that she hear God
with your ear,

judging that she has
no ear of her own!

You inflict your will upon her,

judging that she has
no will of her own!

Must she touch the hem of
your cloak, Daniel Barrister?

I am but His servant, no more.

In the book of Matthew it says,
"The disciple is not above his Master",

"nor the servant above his Lord.

"It is enough for the disciple
that he be as his Master

and the servant as his Lord."

She is my wife.

If she hasn't the strength
to believe,

it's my duty to give
my strength to her.

"If any brother have a wife
that believeth not,

"and she be pleased
to dwell with him,

"let him not put her away.

"And the woman which have
a husband that believeth not,

"and if he be pleased
to dwell with her,

"let her not leave him,

"for the unbelieving husband
is sanctified by the wife,

"and the unbelieving wife
is sanctified by the husband.

"But if the unbelieving depart,
let him depart.

"A brother or a sister is not
under bondage in such cases;

"but the Lord hath
called us to peace.

"For what knowest thou, O woman,

"whether thou shalt save
thy husband?

"Or how knowest thou, O man,

"whether thou shalt
save thy wife?

"But as God hath distributed
to every man,

"as the Lord hath called
everyone,

"so let him walk,

and so ordain I
in all churches."

Do you remember those
words too, Mr. Barrister?

Words recorded in the Bible
by the apostle Paul?

Mr. Barrister,

a long splinter
from a rib fracture

is pressing against her lung.

I can't tell if it's punctured.

I'll have to make an incision
to correct it.

Your wife is unconscious.

I'll need your permission
before I can operate.

If it were me lying in
there instead of Jenny,

I'd refuse that permission.

But it's not.

God be with you.

Your wife is resting.

Mr. Barrister, I want
to ask you to forgive me

for the strong language
I used on you today.

There's nothing to forgive.

I accused you of judging others,

and by doing so,
I myself was judging you.

Perhaps the ends
justified the means.

Perhaps.

But I hope you believe I had
no desire to attack your faith.

You didn't,
nor have you damaged it.

I'm not the one to say that you
are wrong in what you believe.

I'm a young man, Mr. Barrister,

and it wasn't
very many years ago

I was faced with the decision
of whether to follow

in my father's footsteps or not.

I asked his advice.

He quoted the Bible to me.

He referred to the time
the Pharisees denounced Christ

for eating with the sinners,

and Christ answered them,
saying,

"They that be whole
need not a physician,

but they that are sick."

And my father added these words:

"There is only one
Great Healer, my son,

"but there are many who cannot
accept so deep a conviction.

"And the best answer yet devised
for this segment of humanity

is the medical doctor."

That was the day I decided
to go to medical school...

although my father himself
is a minister.

Mr. Barrister...

I've done all I can
for your wife.

I'm not at all certain
whether it was nearly enough.

Our Father, which art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,

on earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day
our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil...

For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power,

and the glory forever.

Amen.

Major, looks like McCullough!

It sure is,

and am I gonna be
glad to see him.

I got a little surprise
for him. Hi, Major!

Hold it. Just stay right there.

What's wrong? Never
you mind, just stay there.

Well, did you have a nice rest?

Or did you decide
that this wagon train

could get along without
the services of a scout?

Major Adams, that's the
first time you ever admitted

you couldn't
get along without me.

Well, don't tempt me,
I might try it.

Now, how about Jenny Barrister?

She's gonna be all right.

Dr. Culver told me to tell you
that after the operation

he knew that if she lived
it was a miracle.

Well, she lived. That's good,

now I don't feel so bad
about leaving 'em behind.

I'm glad you didn't
leave me behind...

There's not a young gal
in Johnsonville.

I had to ride all day
to catch up with you.

Well, you won't have to ride that
long to catch up with us this time.

We'll meet you tonight
when we make camp for supper.

What do you mean, meet me?
I'm here!

And you're gonna stay
right here, too.

I don't want you passing
around those smallpox germs

to the whole wagon train.

Here, use it!

Heeyah, come on!

Wagons, ho!
