"Perdoname"...

that I do not rise.

The baby is sick.

My milk is not good.

Have you seen a doctor?

Doctor? It is too far to come.

Mrs. Leslie,

I think we'd better be getting on.

This baby is extremely ill.

You're not supposed to be in there.

Try not to worry, Mrs. Obregn.

I'll be back soon.

Bick's going to blow a gasket.

What is it?

What's happened to him?

What's wrong?

Where in the world have you been?

I've been looking for you, too.

What happened to her?

I stopped by the village.

What happened?

It's just awful.

I don't know. She was riding War Winds.

She might have been thrown

or something.

What does the doctor say?

It's bad.

She hit her head on a mesquite stump.

She's been riding since she was six.

She could ride anything.

And now this happens.

How is she?

She's in a state of shock. Very serious.

Concussion, possible hemorrhaging.

I'm doing all I can do.

I called Dr. Borneholm on the phone.

He'll be along any minute.

If only I hadn't bought that horse...

Don't blame yourself, Jordan.

If I hadn't, she'd be alive right now.

Don't blame yourself.

This is a great misfortune,

but no one is to blame.

Things happen.

- Mrs. Benedict, this is Dr. Borneholm.

- How do you do?

I sure wish I could've made it for Luz.

Dr. Walker did everything he could,

I assure you of that.

Dr. Walker, there's more for you to do,

I'm afraid.

Mrs. Obregn's baby is very sick.

His temperature must be at least 105.

Will you stop by, please?

Mrs. Obregn?

In the village.

Jett will take you.

I'll go with you myself, Doctor.

What is this?

You can't do that.

He can't go there.

He's our doctor.

- Our doctor?

- Yes.

You mean, the Benedicts' only?

No, I mean, all of us.

He doesn't tend those people.

They have a way of doing things

by themselves.

How did she get there?

Now, don't go climbing on me.

I don't feel too good about it.

Jordan, darling,

I don't think you quite understand.

There's a child who's very sick.

I must take Dr. Walker.

You'll go, won't you, Doctor?

I'll be back just as soon as I can.

I'm a lot better, honey.

That's a good boy.

Where's my horse?

I shot him.

Bone was broken.

Somebody had to do it.

I thought it'd be better if it was me.

The baby?

He is alive, thanks to Dr. Walker.

Good.

We need you in here for a few minutes

if you can break away.

You're sure holding up fine.

In times like this

folks really show what they're made of...

and you're sure holding up fine.

Vern and me thought a lot of Luz.

I guess everybody did.

At least everybody came.

It's the biggest gathering for a funeral

I ever saw in Texas.

It's a shame Luz wasn't here to enjoy it.

I mean, she always did like
