I was told we'd have a doctor...

but-but I'll take a nurse.

- I am a doctor.

- Sorry?

I'm not a nurse.

I'm the new doctor in Sikeston.

Please come in.

Follow me.

[ Sighs ]

Pardon me.

Where are the children?

Oh. I try to keep

the healthy children outside in-

in the- the fresh air as much as possible.

Ah.

Ma'am.

All I'm saying

is something's gotta be done.

Evans thinks we're just gonna stand by...

and let our families suffer for the deeds

of these orphans. Well, we need to show him.

- We need to show him who's really in charge here.

- Ray.

You're driving away all my customers.

Not my fault if these people

don't want to listen to reason.

Apologies, ma'am.

[Birds Chirping]

We lost one just this week.

Lost?

I'm not sure what this

illness is called...

Dr. Simpson...

but, uh...

it's unlike any kind of

influenza I've ever seen.

[ Exhales ]

On any day, this orphanage...

is home to about 30 kids.

When the sickness started...

it hit five of my charges

in the first week.

- [ Child Groaning]

- And at the end of the month-

Three died.

I've got 10 sick.

Hello, sweetie.

Dropped your doll. Here you go.

- Huh?

- [ Girl ] Thank you, Miss Clarence.

I've enlisted the healthy children

to run the place...

but-

[ Sighs ]

I'm worried that I-

I'm endangering them too.

[ Exhales ] Lillian's the only one

who will work in the ward.

May I?

Oh, please.

It's very nice of you

to help the other children.

I don't need help.

It's an important job.

And nobody does it as good as me.

I had no intention of taking your job

away from you, Lillian.

Good, 'cause we don't

trust strangers around here.

Kids need someone they know

looking after them.

[ Child Groans ]

- Quite the handful.

- [ Chuckles ]

Ah, she's something.

She's tenacious...

but an immense help to me.

Stick your tongue out for me.

And what did you say

the average recovery time was?

Well, there isn't one.

Nobody's gotten any better.

[Horse Whinnies ]

- You shouldn't be helping them orphans.

- Sorry?

I know who you are.

You're here to help us, not those no-accounts

spreading plague to half this town.

I take it youre Ray Russell.

Miss Clarence warned me about you.

It's me who should be

warning you, Miss Simpson.

- You have no idea what youre getting involved in.

- It's Dr. Simpson.

Thank you for your concern, but I can

take care of myself. And just so you know...

I'm here to take care of

everyone in this town.

We're the ones pay your salary,

the good God-fearing folks...

who don't deserve

this plight visited upon us.

No one deserves to suffer, Mr. Russell.

Not you, and certainly not

a bunch of innocent children.
